"I'm an Instagram model and I'm really pretty"
"but you have other qualities, right?"
"no"
lol the realness
was looking for that comment xD
kinda thought she was joking .. then saw the blank staring eyes ... nuff said
Lol with fake lips and face, she lost any shot at being pretty, so her entire platform is a lie
@@porterethan5550 could you only think of 3 names when making names up for your shitty phishing link?
@@stevieoneder8091 good one
it's so goddamn funny how nervous everyone gets when they start talking about "the machine"
@papes zzz Is she some dethbot that hovers in the sky?
Bert Kreischer is a scary dude
@papes zzz lmao, how did you turn an ALABAMA conspiracy into hillary clinton
@@m1ckyg21 Both Clintons went to Yale. Home of the Skull & Bones.
@Jason Street Wait, how did you even get the assumption I was saying trump is any cleaner than the Clintons?
Anyways there's articles on Bill Clinton, and Trump BOTH being associated with Epstein. They're all cut from the same cloth in my book, but choose whatever you want to believe.
Has anyone checked up on the guy that said “what are they gonna do?” ???
I went to high school with that dude. Pretty sure he’s alive
Pranay P keep an eye on him, man, the machine might Epstein him.
He committed suicide. He shot himself in the back of the head two times.
mcdouche2 deadass??
mcdouche2 was his name Gary Webb???
I didn’t know Bert Kreischer had this much pull at the University of Alabama
@Wolfiejr 94 THANK YOU!!🤣🤣😂🤣😂 I was hoping someone would comment this! #IamTHEMACHINE!
perfect hahaha
What’s funny is his wife is actually UA alumni lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀💀
The Machine has like 4 podcast and runs ALABAMA busy ass dude
How in the world does this guy get a meeting with the Secretary of State
Jack Burgess but they couldn’t get a meeting with Nick Saban
😂
@@joodge9453 Nick Saban is both busier and more powerful in the state of Alabama.
@@joodge9453 Nick Saban could buy and sell the secretary of state 20x over... probably more. The secretary of the state of Alabama would probably shine Nick Saban's loafers.
Does anyone know for sure if that was him probably just a joke
4 dislikes already, the machine is hard at work
😂
They are everywhere
RIP dislike button
i just lost 20 minutes of my life watching this
@@patroberts9497 you know you've wasted way more than that before
Caleb: Why should you be Homecoming Queen??
Caroline: I just monetized my Instagram.
Checks out
why does the secretary of state know that the homecoming queen vote was on tuesday?
good point lol
A lot of State Politicians in Alabama were in The Machine while they attended UA
The current senator of Alabama richard shelby was in it. It also goes back to the days of George Wallace and others too
Pretty sure he had a heads up on what they would be discussing and was told it was about the election. So, he had done research on the election before hand. But, he looked surprised that the rigging was brought up.
Shawn Ikner valid point
When I went to a bama, A girl dropped transferred to Duke and won President there because the machine wouldn't let her win at Alabama lol
I don't believe this. First off a girl that goes to Bama, the 152nd ranked US college, wouldn't have the credentials to get into 10th ranked Duke. Second, the machine is a joke that wants to seem cool/elite. At my undergrad in a southern US state school, that's how it is too to a degree. Everyone votes for the greek candidate that's greek. Not sure why they like to give it a name at Bama. Maybe to make the below average school seem more cool/prestigous, but in all honesty it holds no more power than homecoming queen elections.
@@mikeguidry2577 lmfao do you even know how college admissions works ? there are other factors that go into choosing a school aside from prestige/rankings. maybe when she was choosing initally she wanted to be closer to home,have a full ride or whatever. just bc she goes to bama doesnt mean shes too stupid for duke
@Tom what is the big deal with homecoming queen? I went to a Canadian university and I don't even know if we had one... Can't see anyone actually giving a fuck about something like that.
@Tom That's unbelievable. The US post-secondary scene is a complete 180 from the Canadian one.
From reading the other comments I gathered that it affects more than homecoming queen I was just wondering why that specifically is a big deal to American colleges. Same with fraternities, but I'm also under the impression that certain frats carry immense power as well.
@Tom That is very interesting. Thanks for filling me in. I guess in the end power is the end goal of it all, regardless of what you control.
This is incredible, caleb is the best person at barstool
jake house Caleb and Donny are saving the stool
@@duckfuke2997 100%
Can't agree more. Legendary
Duck Fuke - What’s specifically wrong with barstool?
Donnie is def number one Caleb coming in a close second
Crazy how a guy like Caleb busted this wide open years ago and now HBO is like “I think we’ve got something here”
What is HBO doing?
@@mrwoody1413 he’s joking that caleb is ripping off the channel 5 andrew dude since they just got an HBO special and caleb is doing barstool vids
@@mrwoody1413 theres rumors that HBO Max is sending like people with wires to get info on the machine and greek life
The machine definitely had control of the banquet low attendance
That secretary of state was digging himself a hole pretty rapidly
Lol the machine goes way deeper than homecoming queen too.. they actually run politics and most of the businesses in Alabama once they graduate
That’s nuts
Is it not kind of obvious that's why they'd do all this in the first place?
They are all lizard people and have a base on the dark side of the moon.
@Colin Deal This is an ignorant statement to the fullest. You realize that corruption at a high level leads to the general population being poorer, dumber, and riddled with crime? There's plenty of shithole countries with billionaire businessmen. Statistics that represent Alabama's general population doesn't reflect how well the elite are doing there in any way, shape, or form.
stfu idiot
Caroline is actually fucking hilarious. I refuse to believe she's not playing up the vapidness. Her "I don't eat" was perfect
She’s not playing it up. I went to bama with her.
It says a lot abiotic her that you think she’s putting this on…😅
Literally anything with Caleb and sad music in the background is hilarious
Bryce McLaughlin yo

"So I'm an Instagram model and have like 100k followers and really pretty and stuff so I think I'd be good at it"..... Jesus christ
“Ill sign”
"but you have other stuff?"
"no"
“I don’t eat”
I would vote against her. Shouldn't the queen be somebody girls aspire to be? Not just someone with a insta following
It’s a joke. Satire. She’s doing it on purpose
This is actually really creepy and intriguing at the same time. I would love someone to go undercover and discover more truths about it
551223 the machine won’t allow it
They tried, poor guy has been missing since 2013.
@@jiveassturkey8849 actually?
@@FukkWMC yes it does exist
P Come on now, you couldn’t tell this whole thing is fake? There is no Machine, all of the people in this were in on the video.
Can’t tell if it’s a joke or not and I’m 5 minutes in
Same
mikael feathers nope
Its real
mikael feathers Haha no clue!
I think it’s both
“I infiltrated a real life fraternity” 😭
My girlfriend was in Pi Phi at Bama last year and she said that The Machine is 100% real and legitimate.
Sure she was bud
Mike Justice sluts are pretty good in bed tho
She broke up with me.

@@ketchupking9972 what? and why have people liked this comment?
This guy could be the next Nathan for you for barstool
robertjames12 the Next Nathan for you since that show is over
Such a great show it sucks its over
The episode where his suit gets bigger and bigger...freaking gold
Ness H that show was the best. Wish it was still on
Could be? More like has been... Oh, & not in the bad way!
This is so dumb its amazing. Also interesting to leave out that John Merrill was one of the handful of independents to beat the machine for SGA President way back in 1986
Sounds like something a machine sympathizer
really? I have never heard that before
It’s no secret, they literally know exactly what group it is lol
... that's why the title of the video says "least" secret society lol
Alabama isn’t the only university that has this sort of extrafraternal society.
This
@DeWayne Phillips I just agreed with the comment bro
That's true but secret societies at other colleges and universities are usually interested in keeping to themselves and just networking . The machine at UA is basically different in that it's tentacles spread through the frat system and are largely about the University political system. It's a campus dominant system though behind the scenes.
@DeWayne Phillips That's what I hear. Basically, it's training ground for future Alabama politicians and business leaders.
@DeWayne Phillips True but I did mention business as well.
I ain’t fallin for no banana in the tailpipe.
Lmao most poeple pop the hood, he checks the pipes first.
Lmfao "No, I don't eat"
Sooo good, who is she?? IG?
As much of a joke as this is, it’s definitely weird that they’re rigging it each time.
All of society is rigged.
“i invited everyone i knew” 5 people
Hopefully one day you'll replace Chris Hansen.. "I'm Caleb Pressley with Dateline NBC, why don't you have a seat."
LeBron James good luck. The machine extends well beyond college. The machine will not expose itself
But wearing a giant suit and a clip on tie
A secret society in Alabama. Are the members all cousins?
It's a Family Business.
Durrr... you're so clever. Did you come up with that all by yourself or did your boyfriend help you?
Idiot
That made me chuckle
booooo
“I slid into your DMs, in a good way!”
I "infiltrated" a sorority by immediately bombarding them with repetitive questions about a specific topic. No one was the wiser 😂
Even this pledge knew about the machine
Somehow that was my first time seeing someone with a southern accent and a Dragon Ball Z shirt.
he is a weebneck
Come to Florida bro lol
@@tylerwilson7385 deadass people love dragon ball in florida bruh
I was laughing my ass off, then he said, "I scheduled a meeting with the secretary of state" and I pissed my pants laughing. Then he got an IG model involved and goddamn best video ever.
The Politician was part of the Machine listen to his choice of words!
He actually wasn't, and in fact he is one of the few to win the election against The Machine backed candidate.
Haven't cried this hard in years. Someone help those girls
yea ill help em hop on these nuts
matt morrison up top bro good one
Dude's asking the Alabama Secretary of State questions about "The Machine" as if John Merrill wasn't the president of the University of Alabama's SGA in 1986-87 😂😂😂 you're talking to it, son!
This would have been a perfect video for the giant suit
I thought this was about Bert Kriescher
adam glover I AM THE MACHINE
Fuck that bitch, this is Bama
"i slid in your DM's .... in a good way"
This is true at every university.
I wrote an op Ed in the Red and Black while I was at the University of Georgia specifically pointing out the fact that a majority of students don’t care about SGA & the elections- only the Greeks. Most student popularity awards are just extensions of their privilege.
I actually know a former Alabama homecoming queen - MaryMac -
I should ask her about it.
Imagine having so much secrecy and complexity for things that absolutely do not matter
It probably doesn't stop at homecoming tho. If Saban is that scared to talk about it, it probably goes to the boosters and state leadership.
“The machine...... ... .. what is it..”
lol man, I'm not sure you could get Caroline elected homecoming queen even if the machine backed her XD
I'm an instagram model, and, idk, i just, like, think im really pretty and stuff. I should win homecomign queen!!
This is hilarious I can’t believe that this organization exists at the University of Alabama. I just think this whole production was so well done. Kudos to everyone who worked on this especially the main guy and the girl their dynamic was hilarious. Can’t stop laughing.
It extends beyond Alabama....
Goes all the way to Washington D.C.
@@SargNickFuryno, the machine only exists at alabama, some other schools have similar smaller organizations but the group is only at alabama
@@virific76 What I mean is their influence. They Machine has messed around with other schools, in many ways, particularly everyone they play year to year in the SEC. TNE may only be at Alabama, but they influence/bribe and generally exploit every one tehy can in the sec.
What is it with Southerners and their Secret Societies?!
Jon Creed where else are they supposed to be racist?
Kent Williams kkk
Ok, so now we have "The Machine" in Alabama added to the list. Ku Klux Klan, Knights of the White Camelia, the Night Riders, Vigilance Committees, League of the South, White Knights, White League, The Golden Circle, The 10, Secret Empire, Southern Cross, Brotherhood of whatever, ad nauseam. I wouldn't be surprised if the Legion of Doom or HYDRA were actually formed in the South.
Jon Creed secret societies exist everywhere. Wherever there is information power or money societies form to protect it
Uhhhh Yale, Princeton, Harvard on and on and on...
Caroline prob can’t even scramble eggs
Probably not but her 100k followers are scrambling their own eggs to her
"And 24 hours with caroline"
This line absolutely made the video
That insta model is just a lot of a boring person.
every one of them are
The "What do you mean you don't eat?" part fucking sent me to the fucking moon. Hilarious.
Would smash...hard.
What’s her IG?
Andrew I hope she sees this bro
Is this a joke? I really can’t tell. Either way this is gold
nah that's what makes it even more funny
I thought the same thing, so I did a search and they have a Wikipedia page and other articles on them. This video is basically taking something real and turning it into something funny. From the quick search I did, The Machine is/was a real all white secret society that influenced politics in the university and the state. The group was started in 1888 and they were also referred to as the crimson white.
It apparently is not a joke
Nope
@æthalstan eagle eye I feel like a lot of universities are run by greek life in some fashion but the way some of the students talk about it at alabama is scary
As a Alabama fan this is pure gold! Caleb is the best lol
The Dragonball guy walked out into the world for the first time in years and was immediately asked about the very thing that drove him to seclusion. He knew then it was divine providence which had given him the strength to make it so far against so great of odds.
dude fresh outta the hyperbolic-timechamber, ready to go
“I’m a business major”
“SEE. She deserves a shot!” 😂
Alabama is like real life. The machine is real. And it all stems from “Fraternities” and Secret Society
Watching this from the UK I can't tell if this is satire.
It isn’t, it’s a real thing on our campus that everyone is aware of, my house was pushed to vote for a candidate in another sorority
it's cute and funny here but it happens in state governments in many parts of America.
J War ever heard of a little thing I like to call The Illuminati?
@@Rosebud0801 I think what he's saying is that coming from the UK this seems like satire because of how serious the greek life stuff is that it almost seems comedic.
Mic Spaffy Millard true, our school takes it waaayy too seriously, my house starts preparing for recruitment 9 months in advance lmao
Finally a news source I can trust and believe to bring me important information
At the end when he gave the independent homecoming Queen to someone other than his candidate I lost it 😂
Caroline runs away from that car like she has 5 followers
Caleb has been missing since
The Machine 100% had a sniper on Saban for that whole homecoming speech
Caleb literally has a list of all names who have defied "The Machine". I hope the list doesn't get into the wrong hands.
Best video Barstool has ever made
Best thing i've watched since first season of American Vandal. This is GOLD for Barstool
“I poured myself a glass of the Hi-C that I had requested” 14:40 yeah I can’t take this guy seriously Lol
You know you're not supposed to take him seriously, right? Are you slow?
Almost like Skull and Bones at Yale.
shhhh
Nothing like skull and Bones at Yale. Yale grads run the US. Bama grads run the greater Tuscaloosa metropolitan.
You mean a student group that is organized together has more influence than individual students on their own? I'm SHOCKED.
1Pangaea Republic 😂😂😂 I haven’t heard someone say that since I was 17. That’s just what the jealous loser kids say to to other kids who are having more fun to try and make themselves feel better.
My university had the same thing. Taught me a lot about the world. Probably more than I learned in class
sure you did
doesn't teach you about the world, this is not in existence in Germany, there are clubs and closed of societies doing weird and sometimes illegal stuff (like fencing with drawing blood), but it stops at their door, nothing happens outside at this extend, that this is so widespread and accepted without anything happening, is a US problem, and then you should not wonder why your government, senate and politicians are so corrupt, they get taught this in school already
@@jonhohensee3258 SEC Greek life is a microcosm of us politics imo lol
@@investorbettor505 HA HA HA HAaaa... ha ha... ha ha.... SO SUPER funny... and stuff
@@LordBelakor closed of ???
Think "The Machine" has anything to do with football recruiting??
stop asking questions before they get you
No
Yeah I think so
Prob, gotta show the recruits a good time on campus.
Aaron H does anyone know if this man is still alive ?? I think the machine might have got to him
Why is this like signing the Declaration of Independence and risking getting caught for treason against the Machine? 😳
This was absolutely gold. Well done Caleb
Caleb, this is incredible.
Bro that one dude at the frat who’s eyes were darting everywhere was obviously in the Machine lmao
Fr wtf was Saban talking about
if not the machine perhaps the tv companies for having them play early games
THE MACHINE!
The Machine.... did you not watch the video?
Machine rigs SGA and SGA decides who gets reserved seating for the best sections in the stadium so students without connections to Greek organizations or a select few honors societies have to fight for what’s left and this results in less overall student attendance. This also creates a segregated environment for students that takes away from the experience of actually gathering as a student body to watch the football team play. This isn’t the only reason for low attendance as they showed when they interviewed random students but it definitely adds to the problem. The machine has also been guilty of maintaining a number of racist policies within the Greek system and student government and has committed hate crimes and used intimidation tactics on multiple occasions in the past
@@lijahpinto780 In Alabama? No way 😆
Caleb is a national treasure.
caleb deserves a raise after this one, beautiful stuff here
She straight said “ I don’t eat” lol
Giving the Onion a run for its money! Had me in stitches.
"So I let my hair down to let them know that I'm a cool dude who didn't mind if they cussed" ...Lol, this guy and Donnie are the greatest part of Bartstool hands fucking down.
"I'm a business major"
Caleb: SEE
So the machine has a wiki article so it’s def real guys lol
My sister goes to alabama, the machine is real when it comes to picking a homecoming queen. Her friend ran for homecoming queen and word spread fast that sororities pre pick the homecoming queens based on whos in the sorority that they choose to make all the girls vote for. Its real.
Such important stuff, like who's gonna be homecoming queen
Damn .... Michael Moore looking wild in 2019.
If this isnt a joke its kinda scary, some of these people will run for actual political office in the future
I mean its exactly like the political system is today... just college scale
@@johnjacob3160 the political system has been like this since the beginning. founding fathers were secret society members
I like how this is in my recommendations when it’s homecoming week here
yo that red head in that fraternity is definitely in the machine
He seemed sus the moment he brought it up lol and he sucks at lying
We need a documentary about a conspiracy theory hosted by Caleb, Rone, and Vibs
When he's talking directly to the banquet servers is fuckin hilarious.
This is hilarious, but is actually also damn good journalism. Great piece
Now this... this is the barstool content I want to see
I would love to see a follow-up to this video and a more in-depth documentary.
That Secretary of Corruption sounded just like every other politician
I teared up at the ending. Beautiful. Heartwarming.
This reminds me so much of Nathan For You, especially at the end.
