00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Join us on Now We Consume.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Take in the knowledge, take in the laughs, indulge in the topics with us.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,000
The Now We Consume podcast will take you through the parts of your day you normally dread.

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Why suffer through the existential crisis of life alone when you can do it with us?

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,000
And Now We Consume.

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,000
This is not meant to be a conspiracy episode or podcast,

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
but we may cover some topics that dance that line like a toddler dances on their mother's last nerve.

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000
This podcast is rated "I",  for immature audiences only

9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,000
The American Emergency Alert System has been activated to alert the general public to a threat of unknown origin.

10
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000
We are advising the public to obtain enough supplies to shelter in place for up to 30 days if necessary

11
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
while the military attempts intervention and communication.

12
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Just remember, we're from the government and we're here to help.

13
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,000
So what the hell do you do if you're driving along trying to mind your own business

14
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:14,000
and you hear those fateful tones come up, followed by a message telling you to literally drop everything,

15
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:20,000
seek shelter, and try to find supplies, as that one said, for up to 30 days that you may or may not have?

16
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Is this a multiple choice answer? Because if option D is to violently poo myself, that's probably the option.

17
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Yeah, D, all of the above.

18
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Exactly.

19
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:41,000
So, yeah, this is a topic that given the world's current situation, we felt it was worth discussing.

20
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:54,000
The end of the world as we know it is something that's definitely worth talking about because between climate disasters,

21
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:03,000
the wildfires out west, impact of an extra solar or extra planetary object,

22
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:11,000
aliens invading, war, nuclear Armageddon, quantum apocalypse.

23
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000
There's your touchy feely subject for the night.

24
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Yeah, that one kept me up the other night. Thanks for that, Jerry.

25
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,000
You're welcome. On that one, I sent a video to Gibbs the other night.

26
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,000
I was like, dude, you got to watch this shit. This actually scared the hell out of me.

27
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,000
And he's like, oh, yeah, yeah, whatever. And then he watched it.

28
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,000
It's one of those things that like I mentioned quantum computing in the past,

29
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,000
and I did not realize what it was capable of until that was explained to me.

30
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,000
And now I don't want to computer within 30 feet of my bedroom. I don't know. I've just.

31
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Yeah, no, dude, it's terrifying because quantum computing combined with A.I.

32
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,000
I mean, the singularity is literally right around the corner.

33
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Like we are screwing ourselves faster and harder than Johnny Sins on a Coke bender.

34
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Yeah, that sounds about right.

35
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:16,000
I really feel like I feel like we're getting to the point where the future that was depicted in Terminator one and two is going to be our like best case scenario.

36
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000
At the right things, we better hope that's the best case scenario.

37
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000
The way things are going to be like the matrix. Jesus.

38
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,000
She's not like the kind that we're plugged in. No, no, no, no, no.

39
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000
No, no, that's that's not even the way it goes.

40
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Have a craft to be kind of cool. I don't know.

41
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000
I got to ride an aircraft back when I was in the Navy.

42
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
That was a fun ride. Was it like the big one? That's the big troop transport thing.

43
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Or yeah, yeah, those things are cool.

44
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
It was a giant sardine can.

45
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:52,000
But hey, before we get too far into this, I want to take a quick moment and give a another quick birthday shout out.

46
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:59,000
My son Aiden is leaving the early part of life and becoming a teenager tomorrow.

47
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000
He will be the big one three.

48
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Thirteen years old crossing another doorway into life.

49
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:11,000
So happy birthday, Aiden. Happy birthday.

50
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Yeah, that's that's two in two weeks. And yes, I'm feeling quite old.

51
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:26,000
But yeah, for for this episode, we wanted to talk about is I know we've been kind of on not like a depressing mood lately, but different talk about some serious topics.

52
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:33,000
But we did want to offer as well in both of our experience and both our experience and kind of in our various knowledge and everything.

53
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:45,000
What are the things also people can do to prepare for these different scenarios and kind of the proactive measures you can take to be able to give yourself a better chance to be able to kind of have an answer?

54
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Yeah, we we've we've done a lot of doom and gloom and we've done a lot of, you know, we hate this and that kind of stuff.

55
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000
So we want to give people a little bit of hope.

56
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,000
But it's not all fuzzy, huggy rainbows and everything.

57
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
It's it's some serious shit. Oh, yeah.

58
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:14,000
It's information we thought it's important for people to know, because it's something that really in the Western world, like we have it so well here that we don't worry about things like food,

59
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
water, shelter, fuel, survival.

60
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:24,000
It's not something we actively really ever think about or engage with, and especially with many of these scenarios that are relatively looming that we're going to discuss.

61
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
We haven't brought up yet in the intro.

62
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
I think it's worth talking about just so people are aware and informed.

63
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,000
And at least you might listen to this and have something in the back of your mind thinking, wow, I can research this.

64
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,000
I can look this up.

65
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Even if you just do a couple of things that we talk about, it could make a big difference.

66
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Just just on general purpose, regardless of an apocalypse happens, even if you go like a hurricane or a nor'easter or something to where you have an emergency, emergencies happen all the time, even outside of, you know, huge catastrophic events.

67
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Major disasters, right? Yeah, you know.

68
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Yeah, something minor that you do can literally make the difference between getting through a major event and, you know, not.

69
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:07,000
So, yeah, we just want to discuss a few of these different topics and make people aware.

70
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,000
And it's not all doom and gloom.

71
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,000
We're going to have some laughs, going to have some fun, but also we have a couple of serious moments here coming up.

72
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,000
So, yeah, because one of the things that I wanted to mention was.

73
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Most people, especially people who live in the cities that live in apartments and stuff, they typically on hand have.

74
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Two days, maybe three days worth of supplies.

75
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,000
And then they have to run to the store.

76
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:38,000
What's the old phrase that most cities are six miles away from total revolution or something like that?

77
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,000
I think it's nine miles. Yeah. So three days. Yeah.

78
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:53,000
And or two weeks, I think the cities themselves are typically stocked at the stores for a week or two before they're like out like covid level.

79
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Store shelves are empty. We're not getting a restock kind of deal.

80
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:05,000
And in a major event where the trucks aren't trucking and hauling and restocking shelves and stores,

81
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:12,000
that's the kind of stuff that you need to be prepared for ahead of time, because if you're trying to prepare in the middle of or during.

82
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,000
The disaster, you're not going to get anything you need.

83
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:23,000
No. Or if you do, it might come at a higher price, you know, monetarily or otherwise for 99 percent of all supplies.

84
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
If you're looking for the day of it happened, you're too late, quite frankly.

85
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Right. You're going to have to outcompete people and you have to do something that you don't want to do, which we'll discuss later.

86
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Right. But so I guess one of the big things we could talk about here is.

87
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:47,000
I did kind of a list in order of to me and my eye to my mind, but I think it's the most likely to what's going to happen or what could happen

88
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,000
because of just the very state of the world and things that are happening.

89
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:57,000
But this list is in no particular order in terms of like an educated thing, just my list that I came up with.

90
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,000
I did my list in like the order that I thought it could or would happen.

91
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Well, you're putting that one at the top just because the thing that kills me is I don't disagree.

92
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:13,000
OK, I'll just you know what? I'm going to let you win for this one because I agree with you.

93
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,000
OK, so we were talking about we.

94
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,000
So you share with me a video from the Y files about one of us.

95
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000
We reference that video or that channel a lot.

96
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:30,000
But God, he just puts out such good information that he puts it out in a way that's like, OK, this is crap.

97
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,000
This is fact. This is the stuff that we can't prove or disprove.

98
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,000
I love that about his channel. It's very digestible and it's understandable.

99
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:42,000
And it's something to where you can kind of keep it and be able to utilize that information.

100
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000
But he was breaking down quantum computing.

101
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Now, I know we're both computer people, we're both tech people, we're both savvy.

102
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000
So we both already understand.

103
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000
But we do understand.

104
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,000
How computers work, we basically basically beat rocks into thinking.

105
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Essentially, we beat silicone to death at a microscopic level, essentially.

106
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:08,000
But with quantum computing, what is insane, it's the amount of calculations and the way it can do it.

107
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:14,000
So basically, there is no encryption in the world that will be effective.

108
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Anything can be broken in a matter of seconds.

109
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Which is terrifying. And when I say anything, I mean, anything if it's connected to the Internet can be hacked into, leaked, shared, deleted, moved, anything, which means things like our power infrastructure, things like our water supply, military information, clear code, anything.

110
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:42,000
But the biggest thing that we rely on, at least in the Western world, is our power, our electricity.

111
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000
So you had quantum apocalypse at one.

112
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000
I had national power outages by a cyber attack.

113
00:09:48,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Number one, we're both in a similar vein of at least the way I look at it is most people in America would be completely screwed if the power went out and just never came back on.

114
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:09,000
I'm putting that number at about 80 percent would be totally, you know, useless without electricity.

115
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Yeah, I'd be pissed, but I could get by.

116
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:21,000
Same. I have a few generators. I have solar panels. I can figure some stuff out. I'm not a great electrician, but I have some tools on hand, which we will discuss later as to how we can survive.

117
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:27,000
I'm not a great electrician, and the people that find out about me are usually pretty shocked.

118
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:33,000
I hate that. I hate that. That's a terrible dad joke.

119
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,000
I know. Wow. That's a children have one on the way or something like Jesus.

120
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:44,000
That was bad. I'm actually more pissed at myself because for a third of a second, I was like, why would people be shocked?

121
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:50,000
You know what? Oh, that's what I'm bad about.

122
00:10:50,000 --> 00:11:00,000
But anyways, this is actually a risk that our military and political leaders have been mentioning for the past five, 10 years that have been vulnerabilities.

123
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:09,000
A lot of our supplies in terms of our electrical infrastructure and even Internet infrastructure has been coming from China for decades.

124
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:15,000
You know, Huawei has been one of the biggest suppliers in the world, and they're basically exclusively made in China.

125
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:20,000
So there's been a lot of security risks even without quantum computing, so little with quantum computing.

126
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Imagine the idea that there is no bank account that is safe. There is no crypto wallet. There's nothing.

127
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Everything can be accessed in the matter of minutes or seconds. Yeah.

128
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:38,000
RSA 4096 encryption was thought to be the best, strongest, most unbreakable encryption period.

129
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:46,000
The best supercomputers on Earth were thought to take 14 quadrillion years to crack it.

130
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:54,000
And the Willow quantum computer from Google last month in December cracked it in five minutes.

131
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:04,000
Yeah. So you're talking not hundreds of thousands of times. You're talking millions or trillions of times quicker at computing these things.

132
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:14,000
So imagine doing simple things like getting into your Facebook, getting into your bank account, getting at your records and displaying them for the world, doing anything.

133
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:21,000
You could blackmail anybody. That means literally anything that is not NSA level encrypted is now at risk.

134
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:27,000
And even then, even if it's at NSA level encrypted, it doesn't matter. It will still get through.

135
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:37,000
So I guess one of the things for people to consider is granted. No, most people at home, you don't have any information that's really going to make you a target.

136
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,000
So all those people are like, oh, my God, I have to ninety seven encryption methods and I have to have my own NASA server on this.

137
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:50,000
No, the reality of is anybody that that's an average person, if you're not making a billion dollars a year, you're not going to be targeted.

138
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:55,000
This is more at infrastructure. This is more at your supply lines.

139
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Now, if if you're not making like disgusting amounts of money or trying to do something that's like apprehensively illegal or a threat to somebody, you know, higher up in the system.

140
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,000
Yeah, you're not a target or innocent civilians.

141
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Yeah, you know, you might be wiped out by the fact that like Wells Fargo would just be decimated by a quantum computer.

142
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,000
And oops, you don't have anything anymore.

143
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,000
It's got accounts go to zero. Yeah, that that would hurt.

144
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Which the if you thought.

145
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Back in 1929, when we had the economic collapse, the Great Depression in America, if you thought that was bad.

146
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Most Americans by far have digital assets, more than physical, unless you own a house or something like that.

147
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,000
But anything that's money, it's almost all digital now.

148
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Very few people I know cash out their checks and have physical bills.

149
00:13:51,000 --> 00:14:00,000
But then here comes the other problem. Bills won't be worth anything if the economy goes down because you can't do anything with them because you can't exchange it for anything anyway, because it's worth nothing.

150
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,000
They're they're backed by the faith in the government. Yeah.

151
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
What's that worth nowadays?

152
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Nothing.

153
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,000
So that's a member. No government services would be operating or something like that.

154
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:21,000
If everything happened, everybody would be doing not everybody. Ninety percent of people probably should be with their family, taking care of them, doing what they can.

155
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,000
So you can't rely on any services or anything like that.

156
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:34,000
But I'm glad we do both agree that that collapse is, I think, by far the most prevalent, the most possible.

157
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:44,000
I think if we were something like that, we can cover a little bit in a list of all the things to prepare for. We're just going through the list of the various things that coincides with an economic collapse.

158
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:51,000
I think, though, this one worries me more because I want to put this list, this one, number two, very specifically.

159
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:58,000
We have printed in this country way, way more money by how much money.

160
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:08,000
I was actually looking at an interesting comparison. I think I might have brought this up a couple of podcasts ago, but we have like 30, 40 percent more people than we did in 2000.

161
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:14,000
We have like 500 percent or 1000 percent more money.

162
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,000
So therefore, we're going to be hitting to a point where the M2 money stock that hyperinflation is going to catch up to it.

163
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,000
And all of a sudden, over the course of a few months.

164
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,000
I hate to say it, but there there will be a point where hyperinflation will be a thing.

165
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,000
I hope it doesn't. I really hope it doesn't. But if that happens.

166
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:37,000
There is a statistic and I didn't know you were going to bring this up or else I would have looked it up.

167
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:44,000
I believe there is more U.S. cash owned overseas than there is within our own borders.

168
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Yes, I just don't know how much it is. It is a staggering amount.

169
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:58,000
It's not it's not like it's quadruple, but because of our debts to countries like China that I think it's at least twice.

170
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,000
Yeah, it's it's like two and a half times or two times something like that.

171
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:12,000
But that's a match taking all of the money that is available in cash in America and then more than doubling it and saying, oh, yeah, that's what we basically have assets outside of America.

172
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:21,000
But that's one of the consequences of having the petrodollar and having oil for so long being only bought and sold in the U.S. dollar is a lot of the money that's printed.

173
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Americans never see at least since the 1990s, which, by the way, is insane.

174
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,000
I still want to do that separate episode about the U.S. Treasury not actually being run by Americans.

175
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Right. Or even our own government or being a government entity. Exactly.

176
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:52,000
But with those two with those couple of things bundled in, what I want to say is there's definitely a thing when it comes to not finances necessary, but being able to barter trade, you know, goods, metals, services.

177
00:16:52,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Yeah. Having skills that you can, you know, work off your debt with if you need to or or just trade skills for items.

178
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,000
That is going to be something that would be huge in that scenario.

179
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,000
I'm just going over like things that are specific to these scenarios.

180
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,000
We have a big list of stuff to talk about that's just generic for all of them.

181
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:20,000
All right. I did see I liked your number three there.

182
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:25,000
I didn't think about that. That one. That's why I put it in there.

183
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:30,000
But you had an EMP natural or manmade and or a space body impact.

184
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,000
That's the one I really didn't think about.

185
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:42,000
We had that NASA DART mission that we were testing to see if we could even redirect an astronomical body.

186
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:48,000
We had an asteroid that was orbiting another asteroid, dimorphous and didymus.

187
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:54,000
And the DART mission sent an impactor into the orbiting body.

188
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:01,000
I think it was dimorphous and it changed the trajectory enough that we could measure it from Earth.

189
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:11,000
That was our testing to see if we could change the trajectory of an inbound asteroid to divert it with enough warning if it's on a collision course.

190
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:18,000
So basically Armageddon without the nukes. Yeah. Or the drilling.

191
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Yes. Also the emotional arrows.

192
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:28,000
It's such a good movie, but it's also so friggin absurd. Right.

193
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,000
But it is such a good movie. I almost like Deep Impact better as far as that part goes.

194
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Yeah, I feel like it never got the credit because Armageddon kind of overshadowed it.

195
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Oh, yeah. I think it's because commercially it sold really well because it had so many big name actors and actresses in it.

196
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:48,000
I feel like it got shit on because they had a black president.

197
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Morgan Freeman was the president then people like, oh, a black president. Really? Q2008.

198
00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:02,000
I believe five years later, it was it was a solid movie. I liked that one a lot.

199
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Oh, yeah. Wait, Morgan Freeman's. So Morgan Freeman's president like three or four movies.

200
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,000
I think about it. He's been president. He's been God. He's been like everything.

201
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Johnny Sins of the acting world. Oh, basically.

202
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,000
We've mentioned Johnny Sins twice already. And we're only like 15 minutes in.

203
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:25,000
That does not say good things about us.

204
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Random thing. I saw a thing on Facebook.

205
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000
People are saying, look up the movie for your birthday.

206
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:35,000
And that's how 2025 is going to go for you. Mine was backdraft.

207
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Oddly enough, all the weird fires out in California. Am I important? I don't know it or what?

208
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Oh, my God.

209
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:50,000
It would have been way worse if you lived.

210
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Like in L.A., that would be prophetic.

211
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,000
He's the one. Get him.

212
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:06,000
But no, a space body impact, unfortunately, folks, there's nothing you can do for that.

213
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Like if if it's well, there's very little we could do, but only if we have the warning.

214
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:18,000
And as was brought up in Armageddon, the budget to monitor outer space is about a million dollars.

215
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000
But if something hits there, there's nothing you can do about it.

216
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Like it's literally just it's up. It's either. Unfortunately, I hate to say this.

217
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Either the government figures it out or we die. Yeah. So that was probably not that we.

218
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:40,000
Now we have Daddy Elon in office or in in coordination with the offices, so maybe he could figure something out.

219
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Oh, God, don't look up that movie. Don't look up. He's going to be the eccentric rich guy.

220
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Oh, gee. Oh, God. Have you seen to look up?

221
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Unfortunately, no. It's on my list. You need to watch. Don't look up.

222
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,000
It's actually a solid movie.

223
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:02,000
Why don't you feel like you just make the Tesla cannon shoot Cybertrucks at it to cut it in half?

224
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Yes. Let's do that. A cyber wedge. Yes. As they call it. Yes. Yeah.

225
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Now, the next one on the list, I think, is the one that man.

226
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:23,000
This is the one that probably next to the quantum apocalypse is the one that scares me the most,

227
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:28,000
because this is the one that really, boy, can it go so many ways.

228
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,000
And there's a lot of bad shit that would happen.

229
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:47,000
But we were talking about World War Three with Russia, China, the Middle East, or unfortunately, a potential second civil war, which with the way things are going, World War Three, I am hopeful that in the future,

230
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:57,000
that there was a historic peace deal again that's going forward and hopefully things under this presidency, maybe things kind of know quite down a little bit.

231
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:07,000
But if that were to happen, as you could see with what's been happening over in Ukraine with the Ukrainian Russian war, it would be terrifying, absolutely terrifying.

232
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:18,000
I see that, but it would be incredibly scary to have a war that's basically decided by drone warfare.

233
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Oh, God. Yeah. And the drones are being used by the Russians.

234
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:29,000
They're just arming them with rocket launchers, recoilless, recoilless rifles.

235
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:34,000
They're getting a tremendous dollar per performance ratio out of them.

236
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Which is insane, because like 15 years ago, like I remember when the US military brought in the name of the drone, but that one that's been used ever since like the late 90s, early 2000s.

237
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Predator. Thank you.

238
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:57,000
They were always talking about drones will only ever be used, like, you know, very long range for reconnaissance for surveillance and for light munitions and things like that.

239
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:06,000
And then you look at Russia, you look at Ukraine like we're going to strap 10 pounds of C4 to this cardboard thing and throw it like it's insane.

240
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:12,000
But I think it was because that guy on YouTube put a nine mil on one. Yes, I showed that it's possible.

241
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Oh, yeah. Which is scary.

242
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Let's hope the the gangs around like L.A. and New York don't get too tech savvy because that would be fucking terrifying.

243
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:29,000
Like the blunts of the crypts, red and blue drones going everywhere with nine mils of clocks.

244
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Blue drones with red lights or red drones and blue lights.

245
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,000
I can't tell if it's the police or the gangs.

246
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:44,000
But World War Three is something that, unfortunately, is actually kind of becoming a more serious start as time goes on.

247
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Especially this is this is something we mentioned in an earlier episode.

248
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Einstein, our first episode, actually. Oh, yeah.

249
00:23:53,000 --> 00:24:02,000
The revolution. Einstein said that the Third World War, he didn't know what weapons would be used in the Third World War, but the fourth one will be fought with sticks and stones.

250
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,000
And the Third World War most likely will be nuclear.

251
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:12,000
We're all pretty confident in that. It's just the question of where will the nukes land?

252
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Because, you know, we don't. Unfortunately, we don't have the.

253
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Well, you're that's assuming that they land.

254
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Because I know we heard we helped Israel develop the Iron Dome, and it's been pretty darn effective so far.

255
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:33,000
I would be very surprised in the U.S. if we don't have at least a similar technology defending a lot of our more sensitive areas.

256
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,000
I'd be surprised, at least in a short range capacity.

257
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:42,000
We've got to have something I'm assuming.

258
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,000
That we have things around hypercritical areas.

259
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:56,000
DC, probably New York, those kinds of places, probably some things around like our silos around NORAD and a few other other places.

260
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:04,000
But right. But the general public areas are probably going to be left to fend for themselves.

261
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Oh, yeah. And because I happen to live, you know, within proximity to a large supply center.

262
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:19,000
I've already seen the map. I'm in the secondary targeting zone.

263
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Yeah, I'm kind of right there with you, bud. Yeah.

264
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,000
So it's fun. Oh, yeah.

265
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:36,000
But definitely with something like World War Three, the problem is it could go in many different directions.

266
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:42,000
If there's no troops on mainland America, if it's just bombs, which I know would be terrible,

267
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:48,000
at least if the economy is still somewhat functioning, if digital functions are still somewhat functioning,

268
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,000
as long as you prep, you know, your basic things that we'll talk about later,

269
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,000
you have a decent chance of at least surviving and stuff like that or making your way out of it.

270
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,000
It's going to be the most debilitating thing ever.

271
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:05,000
But I'm pretty sure they blast it back into the eighteen hundreds.

272
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:10,000
I think the thing is, though, is really just a handful of warheads have to fall.

273
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:16,000
And that's it. I just you know, I would think by now after the last 40, 50 years of us having to deal with this threat

274
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:21,000
after the Cold War, you really thought they would have come up with some sort of solution by now

275
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:26,000
to get them from detonating near mainland America. But who knows? You could be right.

276
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,000
We could think a lot of things. I know. I know.

277
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Just look at some of the problems we've had in the last hell, 10 years.

278
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:40,000
And you look at it, you think, wow, that should have never happened. And yet it did.

279
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Well, the government's really good at that.

280
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:49,000
Uh huh. Remember, they're just here to help. Yeah, supposedly.

281
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:54,000
And then the the other threat we have here is for a civil war,

282
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:00,000
which civil war, which along kind of political lines, which granted, I will admit,

283
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:05,000
I think besides a few outlining things, I think a lot of the general population,

284
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:12,000
at least from where I see as kind of a little more calm than it was like four years ago or years ago.

285
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:17,000
You know, it's not as much a threat because I remember for like four and eight years ago,

286
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:23,000
people were going at it in the street, whereas now, like I think a lot of people are are way less worried about that.

287
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:28,000
But when I was watching riots in Columbus.

288
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,000
I am like I'm I'm obviously not going to say exactly where I live.

289
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Yeah. Some people listen to know, but watching the riots in Columbus, that was close enough to me

290
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:44,000
while I was like, oh, shit, it's time to get the kit ready.

291
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Well, you see, I am only. Right.

292
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Three quarters of a mile from the downtown of my area, and I still have paint chips

293
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:59,000
missing from the front of my house from people throwing bottles and shit at my house after they were protesting and burned down

294
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:05,000
several buildings in the center of my city. So trust me, I was sitting there with, you know,

295
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,000
ready to defend my house with a bucket of water in case they threw shit through the window.

296
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:15,000
And, you know, that was that was tough. That was what really woke me up to like, oh,

297
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,000
I got to have things prepared and ready to go.

298
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:25,000
I will also admit to a mild bit of arousal from from the thought of, you know, getting to engage

299
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,000
some some people that were, you know, trying to bring it.

300
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,000
I'm sorry, you said arousal.

301
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,000
I do not endorse that language for that.

302
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,000
For legal reasons, I do not endorse that language that no, no, no, no.

303
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:46,000
But it is also that kind of like this is my house, you know, screw you if you're attacking me kind of thing like, you know.

304
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,000
Oh, yeah. But from my house to the to the to the road entry.

305
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,000
I mean, it's one hundred and seventy five yards. Ask me how I know that.

306
00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:00,000
Anyways, anyways, we are going to gloss over that.

307
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Is there anything? No, not at all.

308
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:09,000
But is it a is it something that could happen with a civil war?

309
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Sure. I do think it's way less, way less hot than what it used to be in terms of the topic or as an idea.

310
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:21,000
I will give a lot of Americans credit. I will say, I think after.

311
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:27,000
What we've seen politically over the last few years, a lot of Americans kind of realize like, yeah, the system sucks, but.

312
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:32,000
We're not going to go fighting each other to support a broken system.

313
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:45,000
So no matter how much people hate the way things are or have been or have gone, I think collectively enough, people agree something as bad as a civil war would be collectively worse,

314
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:54,000
no matter how much better the recovery would be eventually going through that would still be worse.

315
00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Oh, yeah. And that's that's one of the things I do want people to realize that any sort of confrontation in mainland America,

316
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:11,000
there are so many Americans with firearms that know how to use them that have home field advantage to knowing their areas and topography and their houses in the land.

317
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:16,000
It would get out of hand really quick if it was a civil war type scenario.

318
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Holy crap that like when people don't understand the largest military force in the world are US armed citizens,

319
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,000
there is no military in the world if it comes close to the numbers that we have.

320
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:36,000
So like it's one of those things where there's no way of dealing with that, that no.

321
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,000
And unfortunately, it really bloody or get really messy.

322
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:48,000
I hope to God that that never ever happens, but it is something people should be prepared for and aware of.

323
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:55,000
And I do notice your next topic here, which I feel like I feel like this horses are already a little dead.

324
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,000
However, I think we're going to be on this horse some more.

325
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,000
We go episode without mentioning this.

326
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,000
No, no, I feel like that's going to be like one of our slogans.

327
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:10,000
But you mentioned the AI takeover and enslavement of mankind.

328
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:19,000
You know, I will say that that is possible if people are stupid enough to give the AI, you know, like robots and other things and autonomy.

329
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:27,000
I just feel that, like I said, with with the advancement of quantum computing and the continued advancements of AI,

330
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,000
there was a new one that came out and I sent you that video.

331
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Yeah, it it's literally unchanged and it put the new chat GPT for and Claude to shame.

332
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,000
There are less restrictions on it.

333
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:56,000
And oh, my God, I'm waiting for somebody to just put a system like that into a quantum backed system and just say here, let's merge these and see what happens.

334
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,000
No, no, don't don't give them the idea.

335
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,000
No, somebody's. I'm a potato.

336
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,000
If I've had the idea, somebody else has already had the idea.

337
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,000
OK, I'm going to quote you saying that you're a potato.

338
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,000
I'm a potato potato.

339
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,000
But no, they probably have had the idea.

340
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:22,000
We need to tell scientists and engineers know sometimes you really get better.

341
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:27,000
I think they all need to have when they're in college, the quote from Dr.

342
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Ian Malcolm.

343
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,000
They were too busy trying to figure out whether they could.

344
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,000
They never stopped to think whether or not they should.

345
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Yeah, which they need that all tattooed on them.

346
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Basically.

347
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:45,000
It's like the the Hippocratic oath that's for doctors need to have a moral and ethics oath.

348
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,000
If you're an engineer or a scientist, uh huh.

349
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,000
Like, hey, cut it out.

350
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,000
We did have on the list also as well for a global pandemic.

351
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000
You know what?

352
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:03,000
You know, anything like this, like the bird flu pandemic was like nineteen, nineteen or something like that.

353
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,000
I'm not going to count covid, but I'm going to cover the like thing,

354
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:11,000
except if it actually was like the way it was reported, yada, yada, yada.

355
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,000
We did that. We covered that last last podcast.

356
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:28,000
But global pandemic is something, though, to keep in mind for because that that's a very different type of scenario where you are solely focusing more on keeping yourself very insular, keeping yourself kind of, you know, between fed clothed and everything else like that.

357
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,000
But, you know, you're not being pushed by an exterior force or anything.

358
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:41,000
So it is like, let's let's imagine it's it's like covid level transmission, but like Ebola level severity.

359
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,000
Yeah.

360
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,000
You know, yeah, worst case scenario. Yeah.

361
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:51,000
You just have to survive in your in your yard, in your house, you know, in your immediate area, in your bubble.

362
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Exactly.

363
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,000
And then the next one you put.

364
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:02,000
This is something that I've kind of hinted at.

365
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:09,000
And I talked about it, I think, in our last episode, very, very lightly when I mentioned the drones.

366
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:15,000
A national multi target coordinated drone strike by a foreign nation.

367
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Given the amount of drones that are available and how easy they are to manufacture.

368
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:30,000
If a foreign entity took the time to plan manufacturer, equip, deploy and train enough people to use them.

369
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:35,000
And without getting into politics, we know that it's easy to get people into this country on track.

370
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Yeah.

371
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Step people up, set people out with.

372
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,000
Small drone swarms and they're armed.

373
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Hey, good with.

374
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,000
Energistics.

375
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:55,000
If you don't know what that term is, look it up. I'm not going to say it on the podcast.

376
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:03,000
And they decide, hey, on this day at this time, this is when we set the drones out and we hit the red button.

377
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Yeah.

378
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,000
What do you do? Because it's.

379
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:12,000
It's it's it's 50 cities, it's 100 cities, it's 500 cities.

380
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,000
All at once. What do you do?

381
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,000
There's not much you can do for that one.

382
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,000
Other than hoping I'm near a primary target.

383
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,000
Uh huh.

384
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,000
But it's the it's the fallout. It's after it.

385
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:29,000
That's right. And again, is it is it feasible? 100%.

386
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Is it is it likely?

387
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Probably not.

388
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,000
But is it possible?

389
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,000
Oh, yeah.

390
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,000
The chance is not zero.

391
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Well, considering like I was watching in China, they were doing.

392
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Like like almost like aerial sculpture and aerial photos and imagery stuff that using over 2000 drones being synchronized to make things and do things and show images.

393
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,000
So they could do that for a light show.

394
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,000
There's no reason why you can't do that.

395
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,000
You know, across the area.

396
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,000
And it is possible.

397
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,000
Here's the thing.

398
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:09,000
A large group of drones will show up on radar.

399
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,000
One or two drones.

400
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,000
They're they're not going to show up on radar, especially if they're coded.

401
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Yeah.

402
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000
Not this small enough, you know.

403
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Uh huh.

404
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,000
The size of a bird or smaller. There's nothing you can really do about it.

405
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Yeah.

406
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Or hell use the bird drones.

407
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,000
Oh, God.

408
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Some birds are drones, not all birds, but some birds.

409
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,000
I don't know.

410
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:41,000
They have they have drones that are designed to look and mimic birds look like.

411
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,000
And then, you know, yes, I refuse to believe that.

412
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000
How to percent.

413
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,000
You're going to show me you're going to have to show me proof later.

414
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,000
I will show you proof.

415
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:57,000
If that's the case, I am buying a lot more birdshot.

416
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,000
My house will be a no fly zone.

417
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,000
It will be a force by the.

418
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:13,000
They 100% have drones that are designed to fly with flocks of birds to find out the migration patterns.

419
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,000
So.

420
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,000
All right.

421
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,000
But tweaking here and there.

422
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,000
I hate every part of that sentence.

423
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,000
Enjoy your sleep tonight.

424
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:26,000
I wonder how many times there have been hunters like like like duck hunting or something like that.

425
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,000
They're like, wow, this bird is really silicon like, wow, this bird.

426
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:35,000
This tastes like shit.

427
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:40,000
Why are there these weird green crackers in my bird?

428
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,000
I can't get these chips to to deter.

429
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,000
Anyways.

430
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,000
And then just for fun, we'll be discussing later as well.

431
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:55,000
The idea of, you know, like a zombie invasion, alien invasion, things like that.

432
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,000
I refuse to, by the way, I will just say this for a zombie.

433
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,000
We're talking walking dead, not I am legend.

434
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,000
If it's a legend, I'm choosing this.

435
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,000
I'm choosing the self deletion option.

436
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,000
If it's walking dead, I will be frolicking through the fields.

437
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,000
There's two very different things.

438
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,000
So I've just I've just thrown that out there right now.

439
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:20,000
The God of you just frolicking tralala field of flowers.

440
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,000
Yep. Yep. Yep.

441
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,000
Right. Right. Full on my back.

442
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,000
You know, cowboy style with the pistol.

443
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,000
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

444
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:34,000
But that's because that that I one of these days will go on a walking dead rant about how that show pissing me off, how they depict zombies.

445
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,000
But anyways, but if it's I am legend.

446
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,000
Yeah, no, I'm cashing out.

447
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,000
I'm no. Oh, yeah.

448
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,000
No, those things were terrifying.

449
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Or even like World War Z granted, I know the movie wasn't the same as the books.

450
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:50,000
I know about that whole thing off, but since most people seen the movie, I'll do the movie reference.

451
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,000
It was a movie reference.

452
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,000
You at least have a chance if you know what you're doing.

453
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,000
But anyways, I mean, those zombies were pretty aggressive.

454
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,000
Yeah, but they also they weren't nearly as sensitive like the I am legend.

455
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,000
They weren't as strong.

456
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:09,000
Yeah. So as long as you like, we're quiet and kind of chill.

457
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:16,000
Yeah. Then also the alien invasion thing is, I mean, you could pick your movie, you know, it really depends.

458
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:20,000
But in most all of them, you're just kind of along for the ride.

459
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,000
Find somewhere secluded and just chill.

460
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,000
You know, I think I can.

461
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Are you all just about movie?

462
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,000
No. Mars attacks.

463
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,000
No, I never saw that one.

464
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Oh, I think the oldest example, but you got to watch it.

465
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,000
I think the oldest alien invasion movie I can think of is still Independence Day.

466
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:47,000
Independence. Yeah. Which that's like I know it's the classic 90s.

467
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:52,000
I will say the one that still was most terrifying to me.

468
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,000
You know, H.G. Wells in a war of the worlds.

469
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,000
Oh, yeah. I'll give Tom Cruise some credit here.

470
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,000
I normally don't like him that much as an actor, but he did a great job in that movie.

471
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:07,000
As much as the character pisses me off for him being a terrible dad, he at least did the acting well for that one.

472
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,000
And that one was terrifying.

473
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:18,000
I'll give you that. Yeah. But for alien attacks, we'll have stuff to talk about with that in terms of how specifically to prepare.

474
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,000
Yeah. You go. This one I had in here.

475
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:27,000
It was actually separate from the from the drone one. Oh, I didn't see that. Sorry.

476
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,000
You know, it's fine.

477
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:40,000
It's it's similar to the drone one, but it is kind of a separate thing because just in the way the logistics are done.

478
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:49,000
Some people know and understand that foreign companies own and operate a lot of warehouse and shipping companies in the U.S.

479
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000
And farmland.

480
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:59,000
And farmland, too. Yeah. So they have access to land. They have access to storage. They have access to transportation.

481
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:05,000
So if there are enough bad actors.

482
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:11,000
And again, this is a very unlikely scenario. That's why it's at the bottom of the list.

483
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:28,000
Coordinated multi-city attacks similar to the 1993 Trade Center attacks due to the flow of untracked persons and supplies through the southern border and foreign owned shipping interstate warehouses and trucking businesses.

484
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:33,000
If it was planned out and I I did this in a war game scenario.

485
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:38,000
I talked to you guys about a few years ago, if you remember. Oh, yeah.

486
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:43,000
You know, supplies brought in from the West Coast shipped to.

487
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Foreign owned real estate places all across the country and upwards of 5000 people deployed.

488
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:56,000
And an attack could be launched from within the country.

489
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,000
You know, several lone wolf attacks and then larger.

490
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:04,000
If you remember, like White House down or Olympus has fallen type deals.

491
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:09,000
Those type of attacks could be carried out if they're thought out and planned for. Oh, yeah.

492
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Again, highly unlikely because that kind of traffic tends to attract attention from the people that they likely should attract attention from.

493
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Especially with us being such a surveillance state at this point in most major metropolitan areas that it's very hard to get away with something like that.

494
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,000
Right.

495
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:40,000
But it is something to kind of keep in the back of your head, you know, as much as I dislike the whole idea behind it, you know, see something, say something.

496
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:45,000
You know, it works sometimes. Oh, yeah.

497
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:51,000
But yeah, that was the last one on the on the list there. And then the zombies and aliens, you know,

498
00:42:51,000 --> 00:43:00,000
if if a sufficiently advanced race is able to travel the stars and come down here and decide that we're lunch.

499
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:06,000
I can do this for you. You better just start rolling around the salt and seasonings because we're lunch.

500
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:11,000
There was a I'll do a quick interjection. I saw one of my favorite.

501
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:24,000
There's a short story I read once about, you know, an alien civilization came to Earth and their way of fighting was to do like a very formal thing like you send 500 of your best fighters or whatever.

502
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:29,000
And apparently these other civilizations had only ever fought. Great. Did they have space travel and everything?

503
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:37,000
But they still fought with melee weapons. And so they found out what happens when you go against 500 Marines when they said, all right, fight.

504
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:44,000
And they all dropped dead and they couldn't believe that these these tiny little humans had these boomsticks that all of a sudden all went bang.

505
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:51,000
And then everybody died. It was it was it was funny because it was told from the perspective of of the aliens.

506
00:43:51,000 --> 00:44:01,000
And if anyone ever wants to look up, I'll leave a short story about something defective, like aliens first fight against humans, you know, and it goes show.

507
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:07,000
It was it was a really funny perspective because, God, we can hope that they wouldn't be so advanced to have all the stuff.

508
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:11,000
But, yeah, if if there is some sort of group that comes here.

509
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:15,000
Oh, yeah, there's no we're not fighting back. We could try.

510
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,000
We'll put up a good fight, but nothing's going to happen.

511
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,000
Oh, yeah. You know, unless we're super lucky.

512
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:31,000
Yeah, like we could we could potentially put up a reasonable hold, you know, with non nuclear technology, but it's it's going to come down to nukes or nothing.

513
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,000
Oh, yeah. Like that's going to go it's going to go so quick to straight nukes.

514
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:44,000
And then unless we somehow have granted, I know there's the whole rail gun thing and other tech that, you know, we don't know whether we have or not, even though I really think we do.

515
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,000
But there's no proof. But there is proof. And there's been a typical government.

516
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:51,000
Well, we do have real guns. I mean, that's been open to the public for a while.

517
00:44:51,000 --> 00:45:02,000
It's just a question of do we have them to be able to hit aerial threats is the point, I guess, because I know we have it on a couple of like ships or military bases that, you know, they function.

518
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:08,000
Yes. But that's for a stationary target, not for something that's moving. It's wouldn't that be hilarious.

519
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:13,000
Oh, yeah, we built all these rail guns and everything else, but they can't go more than like 10 degrees up.

520
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:18,000
So it's like, well, yet they don't work.

521
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:25,000
With all that being said, we just wanted to do a primer on all the different types and what we're going to talk about.

522
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:31,000
Because now we have the second part of this, which is what the hell to do.

523
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:36,000
What are your priorities? What is your list here? How do you go about it?

524
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:49,000
Now, obviously, that list is going to be dependent on the family members. You have your situation, your physical fitness, as well as your health, the people around you, where you're located, your topography, your general area.

525
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,000
So you're going to have to assess yourself kind of your own list.

526
00:45:52,000 --> 00:46:00,000
But this is more of a general generalized idea and what we think is important for you to discuss and know and how to do anything that we discuss here.

527
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:09,000
There are many resources online if you want to learn and want to figure out something like a little more specifically, maybe for your catered for your area or your situation.

528
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,000
But yeah, we have a bit of a list to go through here.

529
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:17,000
But if you suggest, yes, the the high level list.

530
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:31,000
These are things that like the the most basic and most essential and some of these were things that a lot of people don't consider for long term kind of shelter in place scenarios.

531
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:44,000
You have the obvious ones, food, water, communications, security, weather related protection because season dependent like right now, it's going to be cold as balls tomorrow, negative five, I think for the low overnight.

532
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,000
Oh, yeah. Would you want to be trapped outside dealing with that shit?

533
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,000
No, I sure as hell wouldn't. You have to have a way to get those clothes dry.

534
00:46:51,000 --> 00:47:07,000
That's something that you consider that something that everyone forgets about in a survival situation is not only having the warmth, the clothes that are warm, but being able to as long as you have food, water, communications and security, meaning you have that fire, you have that shelter, you got to be able to get them dry.

535
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,000
That's one of the biggest problems.

536
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:15,000
Yeah, so all kinds of weather related protection medications, another big one.

537
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:29,000
Vehicle and fire needs fuel, fuel for vehicles and for fire. So having access to wood, burnable materials that are non toxic. That's a big one.

538
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,000
Waste disposal.

539
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:37,000
The unfortunate corpse disposal means and basic hygiene needs.

540
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:45,000
Some of those are things that a lot of people when talking about their air quote preps skip out on or just overlook.

541
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:51,000
Yeah, they never think about they never figure out like how to build a latrine or how to deal with waste disposal.

542
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:57,000
Never think about basic hygiene, because people don't realize if you're like literally out in the bush, out in the middle of nowhere.

543
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,000
A lack of basic hygiene can get you killed.

544
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,000
That that is there is no.

545
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:15,000
We as humans, we stink after a couple days and it is a smell that you know if you've ever been next to the wrong person at a Walmart, you know that smell.

546
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:19,000
And mind you, that is somebody that still has access to like things like running water and soap.

547
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,000
Right. So there's an old history thing.

548
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,000
There's old history claim that I don't know if people understand.

549
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Back in the 15th, 16th century, you used to be able to smell Paris from 15 or 20 miles south of it.

550
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:36,000
God, because there were so much so many people, so much stink, so much sewage.

551
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:41,000
People without modern luxuries. Oh, do we stink?

552
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:45,000
We are as bad as a skunk sometimes, depending on how it goes.

553
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,000
So hygiene, not overlook it.

554
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:53,000
I beg people for my own sake, because if something happens, I want to do a smelly people.

555
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,000
I'm sorry. Oh, yeah.

556
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:05,000
That being said, I went through a list of basic skills you should learn in no particular order, which I know there's many of these that you're going to agree with.

557
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:11,000
Yeah, by far the most important things that people need to understand basic medical basic emergency care.

558
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:20,000
100 percent. If you could take any sort of classes, even just like your basic game T classes, I took some emergency medical classes when I started driving motorcycles because I knew, you know, riding those things.

559
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,000
My friends are going to get hurt.

560
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,000
Things happen.

561
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:27,000
Also being around farm animals all my life, you know, I've had to deal with some stuff.

562
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:32,000
It's a very unpleasant stuff like castrating a horse or something I never ever want to have to do.

563
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,000
Yeah, the smell.

564
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,000
Nope, no, no.

565
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:46,000
But emergency medical care, understanding how do basic medic medicines work, what to use, how to use, but also having a stockpile of those basic medicines.

566
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,000
I do recommend this place like Costco and BJ's.

567
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:52,000
You could buy some of that stuff in bulk and it's not that expensive.

568
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,000
It doesn't matter. You don't need the brand name. You don't need whatever.

569
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,000
If you see it on sale, really cheap.

570
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:07,000
Sometimes having that extra big bottle of like aspirin or Tylenol or even Advil anti-inflammatories, even just the most basic stuff can be huge.

571
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,000
Not to mention any vitamins supplements, things like that.

572
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,000
That is huge.

573
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,000
If you're going to be survived.

574
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:24,000
And also when it comes to medicines, getting books that cover the homeopathic options, the natural options, highly, highly recommend that as well.

575
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,000
Oh, yeah. There's so many books out there.

576
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:35,000
There's even there's even one that my grandmother picked up that I kind of like had a lot of like natural anti-inflammatory stuff that actually I can say does work.

577
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:41,000
Yeah, you know, on that list as well as how to get clean water.

578
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:48,000
How to process water, literally water purification and filtration.

579
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,000
How do you do it? How you access clean water?

580
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:55,000
Where if you were dropped off in the woods, would you know where to look for clean water?

581
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:59,000
Would you know where to go? How to find it? How to collect it?

582
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:04,000
How to store it properly? There's a lot of things there that, you know, you think, oh, it's just simply just get water.

583
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,000
It's like, you know, just get clean water.

584
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:11,000
Unfortunately, as humans, our stomachs are a little picky.

585
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:17,000
Yeah. On the very rare occasion, you might get water that's drinkable, you know, directly, but it's extremely rare.

586
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:21,000
Do you know, random questions, you know, if those life straws are actually any good?

587
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:25,000
They're good. Highly recommend getting a few of those to store away.

588
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:29,000
Vacuum seal them. And they're they're good for, I think, 25 years on the shelf.

589
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,000
I'll check the manufacturer, but I think that's what they are.

590
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,000
I bought a couple of them, but I've never actually tried them.

591
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:39,000
They're just still in my kit. Yeah. To be honest. So. OK.

592
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:45,000
Another thing that I actually got from my area, because long story short, I have a.

593
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,000
Oh, no. What's the word for it? Oh, no.

594
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:54,000
The place where you grow the plants in that the covered plastic place that you grow plants in.

595
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:59,000
Greenhouse greenhouse greenhouse greenhouse greenhouse, because clearly my brain is full of mush.

596
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:04,000
Since I have a greenhouse, I actually went and got a book for the local plants to eat in the wildlife that's available.

597
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,000
Kind of what plants can you can you actually grow?

598
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,000
Can you actually consume? What can you do with them?

599
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:14,000
That is very important for you to have is go out a bit if something happens.

600
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Boy, you might be foraging and you might have to to supplement your meat intake if you're able to hunt or fish, you know, gather things like that.

601
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,000
And it's also important to know because then you know what plants are poisonous.

602
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,000
There are some things you might not be aware.

603
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,000
You might say, oh, it's just this or it's just that.

604
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:37,000
Mm hmm. No. Also, there are some berries and other things that low doses are fine, but in higher doses you get sick or worse.

605
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,000
Or sometimes some doses you get unalived.

606
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:46,000
Your subscription to life expires.

607
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,000
I also had on this list learning basic nutrition.

608
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:54,000
This is something that's very important that goes in with a later topic about storing food.

609
00:52:54,000 --> 00:53:05,000
You should know how many calories it takes to keep you alive, how many calories it takes to keep the others around you alive and be able to calculate and be able to say, hey, we need this much food for this many people.

610
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:20,000
What you should and also what you need to figure out or be able to figure out the kind of calorie burn that you're doing when you're doing more survival type activities like harvesting firewood, hunting, building structures.

611
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:26,000
Those activities burn more calories than you may be used to a lot more.

612
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:35,000
Yeah. So if you go from couch potato to survival pro in the course of a weekend, you're going to be in a bad shape.

613
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,000
Oh, yeah. A hundred percent.

614
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:45,000
It's something that you don't even realize to like I I remember chopping up a couple of cords of wood a few years ago.

615
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:51,000
I granted I'm a big guy. I'm pretty strong. But that being said, I'm not going to lie. I'm not in the best physical shape.

616
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:57,000
So when I did that, I was like, oh, my Lord, I had muscles hurting. I didn't know existed.

617
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,000
I wish they didn't exist. I was like, what the hell?

618
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:06,000
And I was only out there for like three or four hours. But no, imagine having to do that every day.

619
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:13,000
Like sure, you get used to it. But those first few weeks are going to suck and you burn so many calories and so much energy.

620
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:20,000
And that becomes a problem because we have limited supplies, expending all that energy, especially if you're not the only person you're taking care of.

621
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:30,000
That amounts really quickly. So, you know, you might be a thicker boy that's prepared for famine for the past few years, but that supply is going to go away real quick.

622
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:39,000
Well, you focus on things, foods that are calorically dense, that are nutritionally dense, that can really keep you going and keep you balanced.

623
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:47,000
Also, a little side note, make sure you have foods that keep you regular. I'm kind of thinking about that after my personal experience today.

624
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:54,000
So, you know, make sure you also have some foods that are going to keep everything going downstairs because you do not want to be dealing with that.

625
00:54:54,000 --> 00:55:01,000
Something that just kind of popped into my head. Understanding where food comes from. And I know that sounds completely stupid.

626
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:05,000
The grocery store. But.

627
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:16,000
But are you sure? But it's there. There are a lot of people that really don't understand how food actually comes to be.

628
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:25,000
I just kind of think back to Wally and they didn't understand that like pizza doesn't just come off, you know, a tree or something.

629
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:29,000
You mean to tell me there's not a pizza tree. My whole life is a lie.

630
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:39,000
The pizza tree. If there was a pizza tree, dude, I would be five thousand pounds, but I would live outside underneath the pizza tree.

631
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:51,000
And I would hug the pizza tree every day and thank it. But no, there are so many people that do not understand the concept of where or how we actually get our food.

632
00:55:51,000 --> 00:56:00,000
So basic food and farm education, I think it's kind of critical and being able to handle a small farm.

633
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:07,000
It's a skill that I think everybody really needs to know. I would say if anyone. So I come from like a farming family.

634
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:20,000
If you could take courses in livestock management, if you can understand what livestock to have and why my pro tip will be pigs and chickens are going to be two of your biggest things because pigs, you get 90 percent of the meat out of them.

635
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:25,000
And you can feed them basically anything. And chickens are great because they take minimal feed. You can get the eggs every day.

636
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:30,000
You can also get meat chickens that give you a good amount of meat. That being said, rabbits are also up there.

637
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:40,000
They're excellent. But definitely take a livestock production class as a bunch of them free online, even seminars on YouTube that will give you some understanding as to what to have and why.

638
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:45,000
Because if you're thinking, oh, I'll just raise a bunch of cows, you are lying to yourself.

639
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:50,000
No, you friggin won't. That's the wrong direction to go in.

640
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:57,000
There's a lot of people just don't understand that and also learn how to do things like how do you slaughter these things? How do you prepare the meat?

641
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:09,000
And I'm not saying for any of these things to become an expert and be able to know it offhand, but look it up so you have the resources available to be able to write these things up and understand it.

642
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:15,000
That being said, the other thing I kind of put in here is how to build a shelter, basically building knowledge, having a good supply of hand tools.

643
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:22,000
This is something I will stress to anybody. As my girlfriend has learned, having tools handy is is amazing.

644
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:29,000
The amount of times that she's broken down or had issues, but because I bought her a full, complete mechanics set, she able to fix her car and other people's cars.

645
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:35,000
The amount of time that's got her out of problems and issues. I don't travel anywhere without one. All my vehicles have them.

646
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:49,000
But more importantly, to learn things like how to build a basic shelter, how how do you build so structurally sound, how to use fasteners, hardware and good supply of hand tools means hand tools that you can use with or without electricity.

647
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:56,000
Because sure, you might be able to buy a couple of solar panels and keep a couple of battery tools going in an apocalypse. No matter what. Sure, that's great.

648
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:14,000
But having a couple of hand tools for each job just to be able to get by is massive. And I honestly there are some jobs I do, or even though I could use a power tool, I will still use a hand tool because I'm so used to it and I kind of want to keep the skill up.

649
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:23,000
You know, no one wants to be that idiot that tries to use a hammer and then flinging it across the room or God forbid they bounces off a stud or something or all you hit yourself in the foot.

650
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:30,000
Oh, you know, survival situation. You know, as a man, my girlfriend's gonna look at me and go, wow, as I'm sitting there fumbling around with a frickin hammer.

651
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:38,000
No, no, when people depend on you, you got to be with the guy with one eye and eight fingers.

652
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:42,000
Yeah, but that's that's why sometimes I choose to do things a little harder and use the hand tools that way.

653
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:49,000
I, you know, I keep up that skill because I even have the old style like the all the manual screwdriver.

654
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:54,000
Yeah, the crank drill. Yeah, I have even that kind of stuff because I know, granted, I'm a little crazy.

655
00:58:54,000 --> 00:59:05,000
I'm aware I'm a bit of a prepper. I understand that. But just as I look behind you, I said, but that's an inside joke for anyone else.

656
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:07,000
They'll have to subscribe to the discord to learn about that.

657
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:14,000
But the point of getting is just have hand tools, have things at the ready so you can handle business.

658
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:19,000
That being said about handling business, I be able to handle business.

659
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:24,000
I will say, you know, know how to defend yourself and the ones around you and your family.

660
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:34,000
If you are able to learn how to use a firearm and get maintained and get your license to carry a firearms license, whether you use it or in your area.

661
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:39,000
Yes, exactly. If even if it's not required, I say training is always recommend.

662
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:45,000
Good training is always recommended, regardless. A hundred percent being proficient and knowing how to use it.

663
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:52,000
Super important. But if that's something you can get access to, I highly recommend it because at the end of the day,

664
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:57,000
it's the only thing that's going to keep you at the same level as the robbers or thieves or anyone else that wants to try and take your stuff.

665
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:03,000
Because unfortunately, in any of these scenarios, someone's going to look at your stuff and say, wow, that could be my stuff.

666
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:11,000
And you're going to have to tell them no. And unfortunately, telling them no with a strongly worded letter doesn't work that well in the apocalypse.

667
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:16,000
You more than offer to try and let me know how that goes. But I'm going to just go on a limb and say no.

668
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:20,000
Yeah. Also on that topic, learning how to blend in.

669
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:29,000
If you're in a situation where you have to shelter in place for a while, make your place look like it's been looted.

670
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:34,000
Yes, but not to the extent that it's unlivable.

671
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:39,000
Making it look like it's uninviting to anybody that's looking by.

672
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:46,000
Absolutely. You don't leave any valuables out. You don't leave any lights on. You don't have any generators going anything loud, anything obnoxious.

673
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:50,000
No, you hide all that stuff. You make it so it's not it blends in.

674
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,000
Learn how to hide in plain sight. Yes.

675
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:59,000
And one thing I will say this this I listen in an interview with I forget the name.

676
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:05,000
There were there were a couple of green braids that I was listening to that were talking about doing some clandestine missions and some other stuff.

677
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:10,000
And they said one of the biggest things they have to teach people is to wear gender neutral clothing.

678
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:18,000
I mean, that men and women don't stand out differently because in an apocalypse scenario, I hate to say to all you girls, but you become the first targets out there.

679
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:26,000
All you all you ladies. Yeah. Whereas having those clothes available so you blend in and you don't stick out.

680
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:34,000
That could be huge in so many literally the way you dress can literally be the difference between life and death.

681
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:44,000
Yeah, absolutely. Unfortunately, I hate to bring this up, but like if you look at what's happened to a lot of those caravans that come up through, you know, Mexico and stuff like that.

682
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:48,000
And then they capture all those women, those girls and stuff like that and use them to get across the border.

683
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:52,000
If an apocalypse or scenario like that happened, you don't want to be that target.

684
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,000
You want to look at like just as dangerous as any other guy.

685
01:01:55,000 --> 01:02:00,000
So that means you have bigger clothes, baggier clothing, you know, more layers, not effeminate.

686
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:06,000
I hate to say that, but that's just the reality of the world in that scenario.

687
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:10,000
But I like the idea of making a house blend in. I didn't think about that.

688
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:16,000
It hit me because it's something that I know, but I forgot to put it in the list.

689
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:26,000
Having a bug out bag is important to keeping a bag packed that has everything in it that if you have to get out of Dodge, you can and know that you don't have to go back for anything.

690
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,000
Exactly. And that can be something that you have pre packed.

691
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:37,000
It can be something that you have staged and ready to go with like the big essentials that you wouldn't be able to log off in an emergency.

692
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:41,000
And you can just toss in the rest real quick.

693
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:48,000
And it has everything that you will absolutely need and not have to come back for if you have to leave your home.

694
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,000
Exactly. Which would be the hardest thing for a lot of people.

695
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:56,000
Well, it's one of those things where you have to pick your priorities if things happen.

696
01:02:56,000 --> 01:03:05,000
And for example, you know, if you're being invaded or if we had a zombie apocalypse or whatever this was and you had to get out of there and get somewhere safer.

697
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:10,000
Location is one of the most important factors to survival, regardless of where you are on the planet.

698
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:17,000
Your location determines how you live, how effectively you can live, you know, what you can and can't do and what your survival chances are.

699
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:29,000
So I do recommend at least how I have mine set up is I have a basically a waterproof, almost like a male like messenger like carrier bag that's waterproof.

700
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,000
There's several pouches inside note and I have several things on a shelf.

701
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,000
It's one of those you could see behind me. It's like a little storage closet.

702
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:39,000
I can pull I have extra pants, shirts, sweaters, everything.

703
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:42,000
They're all like separate baggies so I can throw them in there.

704
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,000
I have hygiene supplies. I have bedding.

705
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:47,000
Bedding is an important thing. Don't forget that you need a blanket.

706
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,000
If you have things I also have, I will recommend to people there.

707
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:55,000
The I forget the name for them, but they're like that UV, the thermal blanket.

708
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:58,000
But it's not like a blanket. It's a thermal like protective layer.

709
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:03,000
They're like NASA developed back in the 80s and 90s, but I bought some of them because they were inexpensive.

710
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:06,000
But they're meant like the like the foil black. Yes.

711
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:11,000
Yes. You can buy a pack of 500 of them for like like five or 10 bucks.

712
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,000
And I bought my blanket. Thank you. That's the word.

713
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:23,000
The mylar. The reason is if you need to make a space also thermally efficient or if you just need several layers or you need to survive somewhere that's really inhospitable, you can use that.

714
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:24,000
So I have those in there.

715
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:28,000
The only thing I had to do is grab some of my other couple of essentials and I'm out of here.

716
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,000
And again, everybody's different depending on what they need for their area.

717
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:34,000
But having that peace of mind of knowing that I can grab all that stuff.

718
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:39,000
I also have radios in there as well. And then I can bug out and be all set.

719
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:52,000
Fun fact about the mylar. If you're outside and you're setting up a shelter and you have mylar blankets available, you can build a small reflector with the mylar using sticks and the mylar blanket

720
01:04:52,000 --> 01:05:01,000
and make a flame reflector and it will reflect the infrared radiation from a fire back towards you and you get more heat from a fire that way.

721
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:05,000
OK. I also heard it has good properties for thermal.

722
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:12,000
So like if you need to make a little hideout that can't be detected under thermals or yes info, it does not.

723
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:16,000
It does not allow thermals to penetrate as long as it's not touching.

724
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:21,000
Oh, weird thing I saw that I've never thought about before.

725
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:28,000
I saw this on a video the other day. Do you know how the Ukrainians were finding where Russian soldiers were hiding?

726
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:36,000
Russian Russian soldiers would get out and take a piss next to a tree and they would use the thermals from their urine stains to figure out where they were hiding.

727
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:41,000
Nice. So weird thing if it becomes a civil war or war type of thing, be careful where you pee.

728
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:46,000
Yeah. Having thermal vision, night vision, highly recommend.

729
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:49,000
Do they have anything that's not that expensive?

730
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:52,000
For night vision, yes. For thermal, I haven't looked.

731
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:55,000
I might look at that. Yeah.

732
01:05:55,000 --> 01:06:03,000
So for the bags that you were talking about in my car, especially this time of year, I try to keep two bags.

733
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:07,000
I have a get home bag and I can't get home bag.

734
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:18,000
Oh, the get home bag is usually full of gear that's used to get my car presumably unstuck from an ice situation.

735
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:21,000
That's the kind of stuff where, OK, I need to get home.

736
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:25,000
This is what's preventing me from doing that. Yes.

737
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,000
The can't get home bag is actually two bags.

738
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,000
It's going to have stuff for me to either stay at a hotel.

739
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:35,000
So full change of clothes, full hygiene set, all that stuff.

740
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:47,000
Or it's going to have that plus an inflatable mattress that I've got that I can use in the back of my car with a set of bedding blankets, warmers, stuff like that.

741
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:57,000
And I keep a one of those little pocket batteries and a USB fan for the summer just to keep some air moving around.

742
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:03,000
So if I get a little bit of heat built up, keep air moving around, keep condensation moving around.

743
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:10,000
Turns out if you want to go for a little trip in the summer, too, you can use that same kit and it saves on hotel costs.

744
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:15,000
OK, I like your philosophy with that. I never thought about that.

745
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:21,000
Yeah, I've had to use the can't get home bag once.

746
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:24,000
Just to stay in a hotel, didn't have sleep in the car.

747
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,000
That's good to have. I might adopt that.

748
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:32,000
Yeah, those the inflatable mattress, they have a lot of different sizes available for different cars.

749
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:37,000
You can look them up on Amazon. They're not very expensive. I think I paid eighty five dollars for mine.

750
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:40,000
OK, it's awesome just to have that peace of mind.

751
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:47,000
I am now seeing one of the flaws of my logic, which was that I always assumed I'd be able to get back home because I work so close to my house.

752
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:51,000
But it never occurred to me that I should have like a get home bag.

753
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,000
OK, I'm going to make some changes.

754
01:07:53,000 --> 01:08:01,000
So rope line shovel. Yeah, even even a small battery operated pulley. OK.

755
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:04,000
Or a winch. OK.

756
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:08,000
I mean, I have a couple of come alongs like those kind of I could throw.

757
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:11,000
OK, I'm going to look at that.

758
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:14,000
That's why I like this podcast. We always learn stuff.

759
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:17,000
That's one of the goals, man.

760
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:20,000
Teach and learn.

761
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:26,000
All right. Another thing on the list here, we did cover basic hygiene latrines.

762
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:29,000
Is there anything particular under hygiene that you wanted to highlight?

763
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:33,000
Because I'm assuming most people at home know how to take care of themselves.

764
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:35,000
You would assume, yes.

765
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:42,000
Having things like alcohol wipes, baby wipes, disposable bathroom wipes.

766
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:45,000
Those can be lifesavers.

767
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:50,000
Bags to put them in if you're not in like the best of situations right away.

768
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:54,000
Even as you know, don't want to go to too much detail.

769
01:08:54,000 --> 01:09:02,000
Having a bucket with some trash bags and something padded to be able to sit on if you absolutely have to.

770
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:07,000
It can make a very bad situation not quite as bad in an emergency.

771
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:10,000
So I'll just leave that there for you to piece together.

772
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:12,000
Oh, yeah.

773
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,000
It all makes sense to me.

774
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:17,000
What I would say for people also on on that.

775
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:19,000
And I'm sorry to step on your dick.

776
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:27,000
Having things like Pepto Bismol on hand, the little dissolvable tablets.

777
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:29,000
Those things take up like no space.

778
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:39,000
And let me tell you, if you're in the middle of like a situation where your car is stuck or whatever, that is like the last thing you want to be dealing with is bubble guts.

779
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:40,000
Yeah.

780
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:44,000
So just get a box of those and keep them handy.

781
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:50,000
It's it's one of those things like I can never stress that enough because my house is like a little pharmacy at this point.

782
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:51,000
Right.

783
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:54,000
Grab extra meds of anything that you ever use.

784
01:09:54,000 --> 01:10:04,000
But this way, like what I did, this was like during Covid because I had time and I was bored as I put a little dry erase board up on like my medicine cabinet that I have in the kitchen.

785
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:07,000
And every time I used a medicine, I'd write it down.

786
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:11,000
So after the course of a year or two, I just bought a lot of whatever I used often.

787
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:17,000
So if I didn't use it within a year, odds are I probably don't really need it unless it's a specialty thing.

788
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:19,000
But if I use it often, I wrote it down that way.

789
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:22,000
I bought it in bulk and I'm all set.

790
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,000
Yep.

791
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:31,000
One of the things I did like that you added to the list is where and how to to get or make combustible fuels and or biodiesel.

792
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:45,000
Now, the biodiesel thing does bring up a good point, which is if you can get a multiplex or multifuel vehicle that runs on different biodiesel kerosene diesel and or ethanol, anything like that, that is a good asset to have.

793
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,000
Yes, it is.

794
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:54,000
Yeah, something like that in the right situation or wrong situation can possibly be the difference for you.

795
01:10:54,000 --> 01:11:01,000
Being able to make your own fuel to get out of town when all the fuel pumps are empty or not being powered.

796
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:06,000
There's something being said for that kind of peace of mind and security.

797
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:09,000
Absolutely.

798
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:18,000
The other thing I will say is like, look up how to make a latrine if you're going to be stuck somewhere without power and it's stationary for a while.

799
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:21,000
Understand the hygiene of how to dispose of waste.

800
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:28,000
That's there's actually the Romans did a lot of studying data about how to do it effectively because of their large armies.

801
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:35,000
So we've known the science for thousands of years about how to do it without getting people to sick.

802
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:39,000
How to establish power, communication, heat and cooling.

803
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:44,000
What that means is things like how to have a have a environment or shelter to where you're going to be both.

804
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:51,000
You can both be warmed up, but also you can get some heat moved out in the summer and stay cool.

805
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:55,000
That's why those mylar blankets and other things can become very helpful.

806
01:11:55,000 --> 01:12:04,000
Understanding how to build a shelter and a cooler environment, things like how to build maybe like was the like the not the wine cellar, the like when you have that cold cellar.

807
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:07,000
And your basement for when you store stuff, a root cellar cellar.

808
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:18,000
That's the word I'm thinking of how to be able to do something like that, because I've seen some survival videos with some people to build like in house to where like underneath where they build their temporary shelter underneath it.

809
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:23,000
They'll dig down and they'll build like a root cellar and they'll close it off that way in the summer.

810
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:25,000
They have somewhere that's cooler.

811
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:27,000
They kind of stay and hang out.

812
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:33,000
There's a bunch of ways to do things, but definitely look up how to do some of those things, especially establishing communication.

813
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:37,000
If you're going to be with any other people, having radios is important.

814
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:45,000
I have a couple of sets of short waged short range radios and a couple of sets of like the long way.

815
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:47,000
Yeah, the ham radios.

816
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,000
So learn how to use them.

817
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:51,000
Understand how to use them.

818
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:54,000
Getting a ham license these days is pretty easy.

819
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:56,000
Admittedly, I still need to do that.

820
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,000
I should do that.

821
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:05,000
But it's it's something that it's kind of frowned upon as like a fringe thing like all that.

822
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,000
It's only for weirdos and old people.

823
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:08,000
Well, guess what?

824
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:15,000
I'm both of those.

825
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:16,000
I like that.

826
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:18,000
That that sums up the podcast pretty well.

827
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:23,000
But basically, but knowing how to communicate with people is huge.

828
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:26,000
That's the only reason we've ever made it this far as a species.

829
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:33,000
Communications, number one, and especially if you're at opposable thumbs, opposable thumbs really does help.

830
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:34,000
It's amazing how far I go.

831
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:35,000
I watch my cat struggle doing stuff.

832
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:42,000
I'm like, man, if only you had a thumb that they would get to be way more trouble.

833
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:49,000
But no communication is key, especially if you have a group of people that either you're responsible for a group of people that you would be surviving with.

834
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:53,000
Keep in mind, most people end up having people around them that they're close with.

835
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:54,000
So communication is key.

836
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:57,000
Especially you can't always be everywhere at once.

837
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:59,000
Yeah.

838
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:04,000
And also, if there's any dangers that are inbound, you can use that for security.

839
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:07,000
Oh, 100 percent.

840
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:11,000
You know, that's that's it's going to be such a requirement in so many situations.

841
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:17,000
We will have that scary, especially, you know, if for someone like me, like I have a lot of people around me.

842
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:20,000
I have a lot of people to like my place is kind of the hub.

843
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:28,000
So I know I'd be in a situation where people would be coming towards me and look at me and say, hey, you got solar panels, you got generators, you got space.

844
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:29,000
Let me in, bro.

845
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:31,000
And I think, sure, that's OK.

846
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:34,000
But I'm kind of more of a unique situation.

847
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,000
There isn't a lot of people kind of be fending for themselves.

848
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:46,000
But even so, always have radios available, even if they're just even just the cheap like Amazon or Walmart wants something as long as they are half decent waterproof.

849
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:54,000
Now, you kind of touched on a subject that I wasn't sure about talking about, but you brought it up so might as well.

850
01:14:54,000 --> 01:15:08,000
Some people and I don't know if they're going to listen or not, but they are the people in their family or friends group that they know they're the people that everyone's going to come to.

851
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:09,000
Oh, yeah.

852
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:21,000
Or someone listening is thinking, oh, if such and such happens, I'm just going to go to, you know, Pip's house or I'm going to go to Gibbs's house.

853
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:24,000
That may not be the case.

854
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:39,000
The person that you know in your day to day life in a survival situation, they may have the supplies that you see or have seen or something if they let you into that part of their life.

855
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:44,000
They may have the supplies to get themselves and their family by for a year and you think, oh, they can just share a little bit.

856
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:45,000
No.

857
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:49,000
Well, the math changes when you add more people to it.

858
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:53,000
And people who are prepared already know this.

859
01:15:53,000 --> 01:16:04,000
Don't be, you know, completely not ready for a knock at a door to go unanswered or worse to be answered with a barrel in your face.

860
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:10,000
You at the end of the day, you have to be responsible for your own survival and you have to contribute if you are going to survive.

861
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:13,000
It is not. It's not something you get for free.

862
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:19,000
This is a situation where, you know, there are many of us that have things already prepared and situated.

863
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:25,000
But that being said, I would tell you right now if somebody walked in off the street during our pockets, hey, can I stay here?

864
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:28,000
I don't think they'd finish the rest of the sentence.

865
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:30,000
No, I'm sorry.

866
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:33,000
But but no, my calculations have already been made.

867
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:35,000
And unless you already know me prior.

868
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:39,000
No. And even then, there would have to be discussions prior to anything happening.

869
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:41,000
You would have already had to receive the invite.

870
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:42,000
Put it that way.

871
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:45,000
There is no post-apocalyptic invite.

872
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:54,000
It is pre-apocalypse invite or proof that you can add to the group in a positive way immediately.

873
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:55,000
Oh, yeah.

874
01:16:55,000 --> 01:17:01,000
Or, you know, fulfill a need that is, you know, apparent.

875
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:02,000
Oh, yeah.

876
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:05,000
Something to that extent.

877
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:11,000
But the people that think, oh, I'll just go here, they might have another thing coming.

878
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:15,000
And that's something that a lot of people don't consider.

879
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:20,000
That's something to where, yeah, you can't just show up at people's house.

880
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:21,000
No.

881
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:22,000
Regardless of the situation.

882
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:23,000
Absolutely not.

883
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:25,000
And you can't get mad if they don't help you.

884
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:26,000
Right.

885
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:27,000
It's like they prepared you didn't.

886
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:33,000
You know, and this this just kind of Zoidberg into my head when it comes to preparing.

887
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:36,000
It does not take a lot to prepare.

888
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:41,000
Yeah, you can literally go and get one of those cheap totes like one of the like 10

889
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:42,000
or 15 dollar ones.

890
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:48,000
And if you've got kids, you can get one of those totes, go to the store and take your

891
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:50,000
kids through the food aisles.

892
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:57,000
And, OK, yes, it's not going to be the best, you know, five course meal food, but you can

893
01:17:57,000 --> 01:18:01,000
have your kids go through the aisles and you can just look at them and say, hey, let's

894
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:06,000
imagine we're going to go on a camping trip for three or five days.

895
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:12,000
Show me the stuff that if I was going to cook without an oven, without a microwave, without,

896
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:16,000
you know, X, Y, Z appliance, without your fancy air fryer or whatever.

897
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:19,000
If I was going to cook these.

898
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:23,000
What what would be the meals that you would eat?

899
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:26,000
No questions asked, no fights given.

900
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:29,000
Show me the stuff that you would eat without hesitation.

901
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:35,000
And you walk through the aisles and you find the stuff that's canned, dried, prepackaged,

902
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:36,000
sealed up.

903
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:38,000
It's going to last for a long time.

904
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:44,000
You can fill that tote up for I guarantee less than fifty dollars and get at least a

905
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:45,000
week out of that tote.

906
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:46,000
Oh, yeah.

907
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:49,000
If you are careful with what you buy.

908
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:55,000
The the way that and I 110 percent agree with you.

909
01:18:55,000 --> 01:19:00,000
It's about doing little things here and there to then build up a stockpile and the stockpile

910
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:03,000
doesn't have to look like a lot because you don't need to be somebody that's ready to

911
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:06,000
survive the apocalypse for 20 years for 40 people.

912
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:07,000
No, no, no.

913
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:08,000
Right.

914
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:13,000
It's about having enough so that your immediate needs are met or that you can stretch it out

915
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:14,000
for a little bit.

916
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:18,000
And I do agree 100 percent that, you know, it has to be, you know, stuff that's dried,

917
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:21,000
stuff that you can make easily without stress.

918
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:25,000
That's another thing, if you are a parent and you're dealing with several kids that

919
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:30,000
are really being a pain in the ass and not listening and you got to have stuff that makes

920
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:31,000
it simple.

921
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:33,000
There are a lot of tone.

922
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:34,000
Yeah.

923
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:35,000
Yes.

924
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:36,000
Yes.

925
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:37,000
Copious amounts.

926
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:38,000
Yes.

927
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:39,000
Five gallon bucket.

928
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:40,000
Yes.

929
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:41,000
But also promise of chloroform.

930
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:44,000
If you've ever seen that nap time commercial on YouTube.

931
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:45,000
Yes.

932
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:49,500
But investing in foods that you know are not only going to preserve well, but things that

933
01:19:49,500 --> 01:19:53,560
you are OK with having for a while.

934
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,360
There are many companies that specialize in making those foods.

935
01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:59,400
I will say there's quite a few of them that are ripoffs.

936
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:00,800
I will be honest with you.

937
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:03,680
But there are some of them that are worth it.

938
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:06,120
Do your research online.

939
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:07,600
Talk to a few few different people.

940
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:11,240
It really depends also where your area is, where the warehouses are, the storages and

941
01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:13,040
the shipping costs and everything.

942
01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:16,600
But getting a little bit of food here and there purposely to stockpile, particularly

943
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:18,520
I can't say it well enough.

944
01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:21,840
Canned food is one of the cheapest and best ways to get some stuff that's going to last

945
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:22,840
a while.

946
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:24,400
We've been doing it for hundreds of years.

947
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:25,400
We're very good at it.

948
01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:29,560
And if you learn how to can stuff yourself, Mason jars are even cheaper.

949
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:33,720
So you can make your own gems and jellies that will last for a long time.

950
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:37,440
That would give you some easy, quick sugar, some easy, quick calories.

951
01:20:37,440 --> 01:20:40,120
There's ways to can meet those ways to can anything.

952
01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:41,760
Can bread even a thing?

953
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:44,320
Learn how to make sourdough that doesn't require a lot of meat.

954
01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:45,720
And it's a lot of work.

955
01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:49,280
And also learn how to cook stuff over an open flame.

956
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:52,800
That is something it's different to cooking.

957
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:56,480
Have have cast iron supplies to cook with.

958
01:20:56,480 --> 01:20:57,480
Yes.

959
01:20:57,480 --> 01:21:00,240
That that's a lifesaver.

960
01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:01,240
Yeah.

961
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:04,520
And and the seasonings and stuff, too, you know.

962
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:07,040
Oh, yeah.

963
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:11,360
If you can get totes, a couple of totes put away with all the food and all those different

964
01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:15,320
options and everything already pre-packaged pre everything, you are all set to where,

965
01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:16,320
OK, we're going.

966
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:19,400
But the vehicle takes a couple of minutes to get everything together, maybe five, 10

967
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:21,520
minutes with the kids because we know how kids are.

968
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:24,780
And then you're out the door and you're good.

969
01:21:24,780 --> 01:21:29,480
But having that pre-packaged and knowing what you have is huge, especially if you go to

970
01:21:29,480 --> 01:21:33,840
the grocery store, maybe once a month when you go one of the trips, you just grab a few

971
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:37,280
extra things, you know, a couple of things here, a couple of things there.

972
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:39,420
And eventually that adds up.

973
01:21:39,420 --> 01:21:40,480
It doesn't take a lot.

974
01:21:40,480 --> 01:21:48,120
And if you've got to spare 10, 15, 20 dollars, you can get just canned stuff.

975
01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:54,440
The off brand is literally made in the same factories that they make the regular stuff

976
01:21:54,440 --> 01:21:55,440
that's canned.

977
01:21:55,440 --> 01:22:00,720
The Del Monte is made on the same lines as the Great Value or the Meyer brand or the

978
01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:03,040
Kroger brand.

979
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:04,560
It tastes pretty much the same.

980
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:08,040
The salt content varies, but that's what the seasonings are for.

981
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:12,080
You know, salt doesn't take up a whole lot of space.

982
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:17,240
So just get a little extra and you'll have it.

983
01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:22,340
And that being said, I will speak limitedly about this, but I have the same opinion when

984
01:22:22,340 --> 01:22:23,840
it comes to ammunition.

985
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:25,320
Oh, yeah.

986
01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:29,840
So if you are a firearm owner, I cannot stress it enough.

987
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:33,640
If you buy and you buy in bulk, it saves you a ton of money.

988
01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:37,000
That way you have some stuff to put away.

989
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:40,680
I'm not going to tell you how much ammo you should have put away because that varies by

990
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:43,360
person and what you carry and what you have.

991
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:46,960
All I will say is enough to make sure you can be proficient with a weapon and or defend

992
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:52,440
yourself for long term and or take care of business over the course of a long period.

993
01:22:52,440 --> 01:22:57,380
But keep in mind, whatever you carry is what you have to physically carry.

994
01:22:57,380 --> 01:23:03,600
So don't be that Chad that thinks, oh, yeah, I can carry 500 rounds of 4570.

995
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:06,060
No, you're an idiot.

996
01:23:06,060 --> 01:23:08,120
Good luck carrying that around.

997
01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:12,960
You don't want to be trying to lug a backpack full of 50000 rounds of nine mil because you're

998
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:14,800
not going to do it.

999
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:15,800
No.

1000
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:16,960
There are certain calibers.

1001
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:18,120
I would say absolutely.

1002
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:19,120
That's great.

1003
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:22,020
Certain ones I would say stay the hell away from.

1004
01:23:22,020 --> 01:23:27,120
You can carry a lot of 22 in a small space and do not think it needs to be a large caliber.

1005
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:32,760
Five, five, six is going to get most of your needs met by a long shot and 22, especially

1006
01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:37,080
at five, five, six or two to three if you're not super familiar.

1007
01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:43,200
Those are those are going to be great all rounders that are going to handle most things.

1008
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:47,960
But just just just factor in the weight because as somebody that just had to move everything

1009
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:51,560
out of my safe and had to move everything around.

1010
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:53,320
Fun fact, you were regretting that.

1011
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:57,040
Well, fun fact, my safe was so heavy, I went to a movement with a dolly and I bent the

1012
01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:59,600
bottom of it in.

1013
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:00,600
You're safe for the dolly.

1014
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:04,480
But the safe that the floor of the safe, I have to take a sledgehammer, bang it back

1015
01:24:04,480 --> 01:24:07,520
out because I had so much ammo on the top of it.

1016
01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:09,240
I didn't realize it.

1017
01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:11,200
So that I I didn't put too much.

1018
01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:12,440
I thought, oh, yeah, it's a floor.

1019
01:24:12,440 --> 01:24:13,440
It's going to be pretty sturdy.

1020
01:24:13,440 --> 01:24:14,440
Now I know.

1021
01:24:14,440 --> 01:24:16,440
No, no, it's not.

1022
01:24:16,440 --> 01:24:17,440
Now.

1023
01:24:17,440 --> 01:24:19,200
But nobody thinks to drill through a floor to get through a safe.

1024
01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:25,240
But anyways, so keep that in mind when it comes to survival, because ammunition is something

1025
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:29,520
that people overlook all the time.

1026
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:35,920
And something else that gets overlooked, entertainment methods, ways to keep your mind occupied,

1027
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:40,000
keeping your mental health in check.

1028
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:42,440
That's something that gets overlooked as well.

1029
01:24:42,440 --> 01:24:48,160
Having books to read, cards to play with games to play with your kids, you know, something

1030
01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:54,720
that can just distract you for 20 minutes, half an hour, something to boost your morale.

1031
01:24:54,720 --> 01:25:00,720
In an apocalypse type scenario, that can literally be the difference of you continuing to fight

1032
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:02,680
for a few days or not.

1033
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:03,680
Oh, yeah.

1034
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:05,920
You lose your own personal fight.

1035
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:06,920
That's over.

1036
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:07,920
Oh, yeah.

1037
01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:09,840
I would say there's so many different card games to learn.

1038
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:14,000
I highly recommend taking some time learning how to play a few of them because you don't

1039
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:15,760
want to have to try to come up with them on the fly.

1040
01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:18,480
I will tell you right now, in a survival scenario, you'll never come up with a game as good as

1041
01:25:18,480 --> 01:25:24,480
like poker or Rummy or any war, any of the kind of stuff that, you know, is already established.

1042
01:25:24,480 --> 01:25:26,920
Same thing as well.

1043
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:28,280
Books are always a great option.

1044
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:31,560
The problem is they are a bit space and heavy.

1045
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:34,440
That being said, if it's a situation where you can't have like a Kindle with a bunch

1046
01:25:34,440 --> 01:25:38,120
of stuff downloaded, that's very low power.

1047
01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:43,080
That's something where you can easily keep a little solar bank power bank and a Kindle.

1048
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:44,080
Yeah.

1049
01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:47,760
If you're someone who's a technophile and you've got a little bit of extra money on

1050
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:56,960
hand, having like a cheap laptop that's only going to be used for like media applications.

1051
01:25:56,960 --> 01:26:02,040
Acquiring, do it however you feel necessary.

1052
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:08,120
Acquiring movies on thumb drives because thumb drives don't take up a lot of physical space,

1053
01:26:08,120 --> 01:26:10,920
but they can hold a ton of movies.

1054
01:26:10,920 --> 01:26:16,440
Getting a nice collection of movies for yourself, for your kids, for your friends when you have

1055
01:26:16,440 --> 01:26:19,880
friends around stuff like that can make a big difference.

1056
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:22,160
Movies, music, anything like that.

1057
01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:30,280
And especially nowadays with the density of a lot of modern, you know, memory drives and

1058
01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:31,280
storage media.

1059
01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:32,280
Yeah.

1060
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:36,440
You can get lots and lots of storage on this stuff and you can fill it up with movies and

1061
01:26:36,440 --> 01:26:37,440
music up at the end.

1062
01:26:37,440 --> 01:26:39,960
Yang and never close to filling it up.

1063
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:43,560
So we got like your portable external hard drives.

1064
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:44,560
Oh yeah.

1065
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:49,360
Those are solid state now for eight terabytes.

1066
01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:50,360
Oh yeah.

1067
01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:54,360
Usually that if you were just on music, you would never be able to listen to it all.

1068
01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:57,120
No, you can download the entirety of Spotify.

1069
01:26:57,120 --> 01:27:01,280
I, I, I afraid it was something like 20 terabytes or something like that.

1070
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:06,240
30 terabytes, which isn't saying that's the entirety of all the music that's on Spotify.

1071
01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:11,200
That's includes every podcast, music, audio books, all of that.

1072
01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:13,000
That's the last time I looked a few years ago, by the way.

1073
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:15,280
So I could be off in terms of as of today.

1074
01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:16,280
Yeah.

1075
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:18,480
But that's including alternate and everything else.

1076
01:27:18,480 --> 01:27:21,240
And I think that was also including with a downloading, not with empty three, but with

1077
01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:22,240
flack.

1078
01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:27,640
So keep that in mind in terms of movies, though, they don't have to be the highest quality.

1079
01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:32,880
It's not like you need 4K everything, you know, no 720 is, is more than adequate, especially

1080
01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:34,040
for a smaller screen.

1081
01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:35,040
Yeah.

1082
01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:38,160
And, and you literally double the amount of movies you can hold.

1083
01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:39,160
Oh yeah.

1084
01:27:39,160 --> 01:27:44,160
And especially if you're just doing like a small laptop or something, headphones, you

1085
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:45,840
don't need a big sound system.

1086
01:27:45,840 --> 01:27:50,400
No, but the sound system that's built into most of those laptops going to get you fine.

1087
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:51,400
Yeah.

1088
01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:56,080
Headphones would be great if you're trying to keep a low profile, you know, if audio

1089
01:27:56,080 --> 01:27:58,480
is an issue, audio is a concern.

1090
01:27:58,480 --> 01:28:02,320
One thing I will say that's not on this list, I just thought about, you're going to want

1091
01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:06,320
at some point, either earplugs or hearing protection.

1092
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:07,320
Absolutely.

1093
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:13,760
And the ones that I like that I have, I have a, like a solar adapter if I ever needed to,

1094
01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:18,280
but they have automatic noise canceling, but they also will amplify around me depending

1095
01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:20,040
on what setting I have it on.

1096
01:28:20,040 --> 01:28:24,120
So sometimes it's nice to hear things that I can't hear and will automatically cut out.

1097
01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:27,720
Like if I were to fire my firearm, it would automatically cut, you know, like a lot of

1098
01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:28,720
them do.

1099
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:31,800
So stuff like that, you might not think it's a big deal.

1100
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:33,520
Depending on the situation, it could be nice.

1101
01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:38,320
Being able to hear is a very big deal in a survival situation, being able to hear eye

1102
01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:42,480
protection, being able to see us, you know, you wouldn't think, but hell, even a pair

1103
01:28:42,480 --> 01:28:47,560
of sunglasses, a good pair of sunglasses can, can double as your eye pro sunglasses that

1104
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:50,320
are safety rated is huge.

1105
01:28:50,320 --> 01:28:56,760
A buddy of mine got me some, they're like, they're, I forget the name of the brand name,

1106
01:28:56,760 --> 01:29:00,440
but they're like that very 80s style looking sunglasses.

1107
01:29:00,440 --> 01:29:04,680
They're very like edgy and very whatever, but the reason why I like them is they have

1108
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:10,440
wings on the side to cover kind of almost the side of my temple and their safety rate,

1109
01:29:10,440 --> 01:29:11,440
their ballistic rated.

1110
01:29:11,440 --> 01:29:15,080
So like, sure, they can't take a bullet, but like any sort of ricochet or anything else,

1111
01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:17,760
I have a good shot of being able to deal with that.

1112
01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:22,200
And so I can use them if I'm using a saw or using anything, having that safety equipment,

1113
01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:24,880
a super port, because you need to protect your eyes.

1114
01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:28,080
If you lose your eyesight, you're done.

1115
01:29:28,080 --> 01:29:32,800
There's no, no FNs are going up going about that, which you know, that brings up one other

1116
01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:33,800
point.

1117
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:38,340
If you have any pending like medical things that you need to get taken care of, if you've

1118
01:29:38,340 --> 01:29:41,960
got the ability to get them taken care of sooner rather than later, cause you never

1119
01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:44,920
know when you're not going to be able to get them taken care of.

1120
01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:45,920
That's valid.

1121
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:46,920
I didn't think about that.

1122
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:49,520
And I'm talking to myself there because my left eye is useless.

1123
01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:50,520
Really?

1124
01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:51,520
I didn't know that.

1125
01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:55,520
I'm 20 80 and my left eye, 2010 and my right eye.

1126
01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:56,520
Yeah.

1127
01:29:56,520 --> 01:29:57,520
Wow.

1128
01:29:57,520 --> 01:29:58,520
Okay.

1129
01:29:58,520 --> 01:29:59,520
I didn't know that.

1130
01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:00,520
Yeah.

1131
01:30:00,520 --> 01:30:01,520
Oh yeah.

1132
01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:06,600
Now, funny thing is I had a surgery on both my eyes about 10 years ago.

1133
01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:11,680
I had PRK in my right eye, photorefractive keratonomy, where they literally like lop

1134
01:30:11,680 --> 01:30:15,760
off the majority of your cornea.

1135
01:30:15,760 --> 01:30:17,240
They did, they did the laser correction.

1136
01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:19,800
How have I known you for a decade?

1137
01:30:19,800 --> 01:30:21,960
And this has never been said.

1138
01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:26,440
I'm sure I talked about it, but cause I used to have glasses and now I don't.

1139
01:30:26,440 --> 01:30:31,160
Um, yeah, they, the PRK, they get rid of the bulk of your cornea.

1140
01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:36,000
They did the laser correction and then I had to wear a bandage lens on my eye for like a

1141
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:40,880
week while it re-grew my left eye.

1142
01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:44,520
I had regular LASIK.

1143
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:51,480
So they cut the flap, did the correction, put the flap back for some reason when the

1144
01:30:51,480 --> 01:30:57,360
flap went back down, it curled underneath on the edges.

1145
01:30:57,360 --> 01:31:04,920
So I've technically got 20, 20 vision, but all the light that comes into my eye is distorted

1146
01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:05,920
heavily.

1147
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:12,600
Now they went in and they ripped it up twice and they trimmed the edge.

1148
01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:14,880
They scraped everything off.

1149
01:31:14,880 --> 01:31:18,560
And I'm sorry if I'm hurting anybody's taint by talking about this.

1150
01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:19,560
Cause I know that happens.

1151
01:31:19,560 --> 01:31:24,680
I don't think it's their taint that they're worried about.

1152
01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:27,960
But yeah, they scraped everything off and put the flap back down.

1153
01:31:27,960 --> 01:31:34,560
They even used a solution that encourages cell regrowth on the cornea and just like

1154
01:31:34,560 --> 01:31:39,200
forced it down with another bandage lens, like an extra thick bandage lens and it's

1155
01:31:39,200 --> 01:31:40,840
still curled.

1156
01:31:40,840 --> 01:31:48,200
So my left cornea is like grossly deformed to the point where there is no amount of distance

1157
01:31:48,200 --> 01:31:53,320
that I can hold like regular size text to where I can read it.

1158
01:31:53,320 --> 01:32:00,000
I am limited to like six inch text across the room and I can barely make that out.

1159
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:01,000
Damn.

1160
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:02,000
Yeah.

1161
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:03,000
It's bad.

1162
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:08,200
Now, again, my right eye is like a thousand dollar rifle scope.

1163
01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:09,200
Okay.

1164
01:32:09,200 --> 01:32:16,880
I can, I can make out like the ultra tiny text across the room of the eye doctor office.

1165
01:32:16,880 --> 01:32:20,160
So if I lose my right eye, I am totally fucked.

1166
01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:21,160
Oh yeah.

1167
01:32:21,160 --> 01:32:25,400
If I have to get rid of my left eye, well, I can survive.

1168
01:32:25,400 --> 01:32:27,760
You lose your right eye, you're going to have seeing eye children for you is what they're

1169
01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:31,240
going to be.

1170
01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:36,520
But if you lose your left eye, you get to be a pirate is what I'm hearing.

1171
01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:39,880
I'll be looking for the booty.

1172
01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:40,880
Nothing has changed.

1173
01:32:40,880 --> 01:32:53,200
Yeah, I think, I think so far we've gotten a good list as to, you know, the kind of threats

1174
01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:57,280
for people to be having, oh yeah.

1175
01:32:57,280 --> 01:33:06,840
Speaking of the list, there are tons of books and PDF files that are available on the topics

1176
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:08,880
that we've discussed tonight.

1177
01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:15,660
And I cannot encourage people enough to obtain said books and PDF files and keep them in

1178
01:33:15,660 --> 01:33:22,580
both analog and digital format in ways that are accessible without internet.

1179
01:33:22,580 --> 01:33:26,120
If you're going digital, if I can make download them.

1180
01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:27,120
Yes.

1181
01:33:27,120 --> 01:33:33,560
Make, if people have time at home, which I eventually want to upload what I have once

1182
01:33:33,560 --> 01:33:40,160
I'm done with it, but I am making a three ring binder and laminating and I have a page

1183
01:33:40,160 --> 01:33:42,360
at the beginning that's table of contents.

1184
01:33:42,360 --> 01:33:46,300
And that's going to be in my longterm food storage box.

1185
01:33:46,300 --> 01:33:49,880
So the first thing you opened for the food storage, it's going to be that, that my master

1186
01:33:49,880 --> 01:33:52,080
booklet that's going to show everything I need.

1187
01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:56,280
Now I say everything in quotations because that's like the, the main book.

1188
01:33:56,280 --> 01:34:01,080
I have, I have several others, as you know, that are going to be other stuff.

1189
01:34:01,080 --> 01:34:05,840
If you can get something that's three ring binder laminated or even about three ring

1190
01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:07,880
binder, maybe something that even like has a little flex to it.

1191
01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:10,880
So you can kind of stuff it somewhere, but laminated.

1192
01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:13,080
I cannot stress that enough because it's going to get wet.

1193
01:34:13,080 --> 01:34:14,080
It's going to get dirty.

1194
01:34:14,080 --> 01:34:15,080
You're going to bring it places.

1195
01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:17,320
You're going to be on the move laminated.

1196
01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:18,320
Right.

1197
01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:26,320
That I only stressed digital like in kindle form or on a tablet or a laptop or something

1198
01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:32,120
only because there's so much information you don't want to have to lug all that around

1199
01:34:32,120 --> 01:34:34,600
in printed form.

1200
01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:38,440
So you're going to have to be selective print out one or two of them, print out some really

1201
01:34:38,440 --> 01:34:41,680
good ones that you're going to use for like this situation to that situation.

1202
01:34:41,680 --> 01:34:44,240
Yeah, that's, that's great.

1203
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:52,000
But the vast majority, like I have a compendium, we'll call it of a lot of files that range

1204
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:57,920
for everything, you know, security, survival, food growth, you know, how to grow food for

1205
01:34:57,920 --> 01:34:59,920
a family of four on a quarter acre.

1206
01:34:59,920 --> 01:35:00,920
Yeah.

1207
01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:04,580
You know, that kind of crap and stuff that I've accumulated over the years.

1208
01:35:04,580 --> 01:35:10,120
And I've got all of that in one zip file that spread out across like 10 devices that I can

1209
01:35:10,120 --> 01:35:12,920
access without internet.

1210
01:35:12,920 --> 01:35:17,000
So if I have to, I'm good.

1211
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:23,440
And it's just important to where knowledge is power and knowledge is survival and being

1212
01:35:23,440 --> 01:35:27,520
able to get access to that is extremely key.

1213
01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:30,520
And there's no way, no matter how much reading and studying, you're never going to be able

1214
01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:31,880
to remember all of this.

1215
01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:38,240
None of us can even people that I've met that are like hard corn to the prepper lifestyle,

1216
01:35:38,240 --> 01:35:41,320
regardless you're always going to have to have reference something.

1217
01:35:41,320 --> 01:35:46,760
So reference books are very nice to have, make a space for them, have them because in

1218
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:53,120
most scenarios you're still most likely, hopefully you'll have access to be able to get back

1219
01:35:53,120 --> 01:35:56,760
to your house, grab the stuff you need and go.

1220
01:35:56,760 --> 01:35:59,840
And thankfully, in most modern vehicles, you should have enough space to be able to grab

1221
01:35:59,840 --> 01:36:04,600
your food, your clothing and just throw a bunch of books in that you need, even if you

1222
01:36:04,600 --> 01:36:06,400
don't make your own list.

1223
01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:13,440
At least hopefully, unless you drive like a Mini Cooper or something, in which case,

1224
01:36:13,440 --> 01:36:15,440
I'm sorry that you drive a Mini Cooper.

1225
01:36:15,440 --> 01:36:16,440
Yeah.

1226
01:36:16,440 --> 01:36:17,440
That's your own fault.

1227
01:36:17,440 --> 01:36:20,440
Hey, you made the choice.

1228
01:36:20,440 --> 01:36:25,800
You know, but yeah, that's really, I think we pretty much covered everything on this

1229
01:36:25,800 --> 01:36:27,840
kind of very extended episode.

1230
01:36:27,840 --> 01:36:29,800
Yeah, it's not too extended.

1231
01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:30,800
We've done longer.

1232
01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:31,800
Oh, we're better.

1233
01:36:31,800 --> 01:36:35,840
We're coming up pretty close.

1234
01:36:35,840 --> 01:36:38,480
We've had longer.

1235
01:36:38,480 --> 01:36:44,160
But this is a topic that like, as y'all can tell, we discuss this stuff all the time where

1236
01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:47,440
we're both pretty into the prepping kind of stuff and being prepared.

1237
01:36:47,440 --> 01:36:51,960
Neither one of us are like, you can always go the crazy route and just try to build your

1238
01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:53,960
own floating island community.

1239
01:36:53,960 --> 01:36:58,960
Hey, listen, I still want to do that at some point.

1240
01:36:58,960 --> 01:36:59,960
Don't don't.

1241
01:36:59,960 --> 01:37:00,960
I did.

1242
01:37:00,960 --> 01:37:01,960
I did.

1243
01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:02,960
It's totally possible.

1244
01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:07,240
I did the math on doing it out of that floating foam.

1245
01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:08,240
Right.

1246
01:37:08,240 --> 01:37:09,240
I did.

1247
01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:10,520
Mind you, this was 2017.

1248
01:37:10,520 --> 01:37:16,880
I did the math and propose that to a few friends and they all thought I was the crazy one.

1249
01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:20,360
And little do they know, I still think I'm right.

1250
01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:24,280
Maybe about three or four hundred thousand dollars to get basically a floating couple

1251
01:37:24,280 --> 01:37:28,920
of acres that floats 12 feet above the ocean.

1252
01:37:28,920 --> 01:37:31,800
You could also probably find that in like reclaimed foam.

1253
01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:34,000
Oh, yeah.

1254
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:37,960
This is something to wear eventually after I'm done with this house and I have a little

1255
01:37:37,960 --> 01:37:39,240
bit of extra money.

1256
01:37:39,240 --> 01:37:41,520
I want to do a proof of concept on a lake.

1257
01:37:41,520 --> 01:37:43,000
There you go.

1258
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:44,000
Yeah.

1259
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:47,720
A half acre floating fortress.

1260
01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:50,440
You know, all you can just keep adding on to it, man.

1261
01:37:50,440 --> 01:37:51,440
Exactly.

1262
01:37:51,440 --> 01:37:52,440
No limit.

1263
01:37:52,440 --> 01:37:53,440
Are there any?

1264
01:37:53,440 --> 01:37:54,440
It's like Lego at that point.

1265
01:37:54,440 --> 01:37:59,560
Are there any laws about making your own island if it's not actually touching the ground?

1266
01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:02,680
It's just a boat.

1267
01:38:02,680 --> 01:38:04,240
I don't know if it doesn't have an engine.

1268
01:38:04,240 --> 01:38:06,840
Is it even a boat at that point or is it just a really big canoe?

1269
01:38:06,840 --> 01:38:08,720
Can it identify as a canoe?

1270
01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:09,720
Can I have it?

1271
01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:13,120
I have ideas and identifies as a really big kayak.

1272
01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:14,120
I'm a fat man.

1273
01:38:14,120 --> 01:38:15,120
It's just a big kayak.

1274
01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:16,120
That's all it is.

1275
01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:17,120
Leave me alone, officer.

1276
01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:18,120
It's a fat man's kayak.

1277
01:38:18,120 --> 01:38:23,120
Yes, I need 12 tons of foam for my ass.

1278
01:38:23,120 --> 01:38:26,120
Yes, that's.

1279
01:38:26,120 --> 01:38:32,520
This is the USS Oompa Loompa.

1280
01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:36,840
That's our singing song as we're all just just just using the oars.

1281
01:38:36,840 --> 01:38:38,840
Oompa Loompa.

1282
01:38:38,840 --> 01:38:41,840
We're going down the river.

1283
01:38:41,840 --> 01:38:47,560
Wouldn't that be honestly all I can imagine is like imagine if we got invaded by Russia

1284
01:38:47,560 --> 01:38:52,720
or China and they don't hear the US military, they hear the 10 or 12 of us on a giant floating

1285
01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:58,880
piece of foam with with rifles and everything and all the military going oompa loompa do

1286
01:38:58,880 --> 01:39:02,320
boody do coming down the river.

1287
01:39:02,320 --> 01:39:04,320
Oh, man.

1288
01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:08,520
Oh, God, we are the Willy Wonka hit squad.

1289
01:39:08,520 --> 01:39:09,520
That's for sure.

1290
01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:13,560
Oh, you know, I just.

1291
01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:18,160
With the amount of degenerates that are running around these days, I wonder what kind of crazy

1292
01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:25,000
bullshit would get pulled if like a land invasion were to occur.

1293
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:32,880
There'd be really, really, really absurd memes on TikTok and Instagram.

1294
01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:37,880
I would get videos nonstop of life has many doors and boy, was somebody pulling on a 12

1295
01:39:37,880 --> 01:39:40,880
gauge shotgun and some Chinese soldier or something.

1296
01:39:40,880 --> 01:39:43,880
It would just be unreal.

1297
01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:49,720
Or or or there'd be the random things like a random civilian just tossing a live grenade

1298
01:39:49,720 --> 01:39:55,240
on a Russian soldier just being like here, catch.

1299
01:39:55,240 --> 01:40:03,000
You know, I've I loved those ones from that kids show the guy with the emu.

1300
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:08,880
It's like and from the Ukrainian farmers taking the Russian tanks.

1301
01:40:08,880 --> 01:40:09,880
Yeah.

1302
01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:11,280
Like what do you got there?

1303
01:40:11,280 --> 01:40:12,280
Nothing.

1304
01:40:12,280 --> 01:40:15,280
Piece of farm equipment.

1305
01:40:15,280 --> 01:40:20,400
God, imagine just going outside your yard just like, oh, that's a T-72.

1306
01:40:20,400 --> 01:40:21,400
That's now mine.

1307
01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:22,960
Thank you for the T-80.

1308
01:40:22,960 --> 01:40:23,960
I appreciate it.

1309
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:29,120
That's the other thing I guess I never thought about if there was there was like an innovation.

1310
01:40:29,120 --> 01:40:30,720
Can I get my own Abrams finally?

1311
01:40:30,720 --> 01:40:33,440
Can I get a Bradley?

1312
01:40:33,440 --> 01:40:34,440
That's the thing.

1313
01:40:34,440 --> 01:40:40,360
There are enough gamers that have played like simulation games that are real enough.

1314
01:40:40,360 --> 01:40:43,360
Some of them might be able to actually work some of the equipment.

1315
01:40:43,360 --> 01:40:44,360
Oh, yeah.

1316
01:40:44,360 --> 01:40:46,000
Not well, but they'll work it.

1317
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:47,000
Yeah.

1318
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:49,600
Now, the bigger problem I have is can I fit in them?

1319
01:40:49,600 --> 01:40:52,480
That's that's my I'll be honest.

1320
01:40:52,480 --> 01:40:54,800
They make like some of them.

1321
01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:58,280
Some of the metric ports are a little slender unless they make like an XL size Abrams.

1322
01:40:58,280 --> 01:40:59,960
I'm going to have a problem.

1323
01:40:59,960 --> 01:41:03,440
But that was my problem at the the air show that was near me.

1324
01:41:03,440 --> 01:41:04,440
I can't say which one it is.

1325
01:41:04,440 --> 01:41:05,840
That'll give me exactly where I live.

1326
01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:06,840
But right.

1327
01:41:06,840 --> 01:41:09,080
There was an air show to me a while ago and like, oh, yeah, cool.

1328
01:41:09,080 --> 01:41:10,800
I can sit in F-14 or a 50.

1329
01:41:10,800 --> 01:41:11,800
No, you can't.

1330
01:41:11,800 --> 01:41:14,040
No, no, they look to me with no, no, no, no, no.

1331
01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:15,040
I'm like, why?

1332
01:41:15,040 --> 01:41:16,840
And they're like, OK, try to fit a leg in.

1333
01:41:16,840 --> 01:41:20,720
And then I suddenly realized that my shoulders are wider than the fucking cockpit.

1334
01:41:20,720 --> 01:41:23,840
And I'm like, no, no, you want helicopter.

1335
01:41:23,840 --> 01:41:25,280
I got to sit in, got to sit in.

1336
01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:28,680
I should look that's about it.

1337
01:41:28,680 --> 01:41:30,960
Yeah, that's the only one I can fit in the pouch.

1338
01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:32,720
And even then, it's like, all right, this is crap.

1339
01:41:32,720 --> 01:41:35,160
Yeah, see, it's the reverse for fair word.

1340
01:41:35,160 --> 01:41:39,680
You must be this small to sit in.

1341
01:41:39,680 --> 01:41:41,160
That's always the problem.

1342
01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:42,840
Oh, man.

1343
01:41:42,840 --> 01:41:44,760
Imagine, imagine like that would be the upside.

1344
01:41:44,760 --> 01:41:47,720
Be like, I just now took a Bradley.

1345
01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:48,720
Yes.

1346
01:41:48,720 --> 01:41:51,720
And if so, what's the paint job we put on it?

1347
01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:54,120
Dicks, giant dicks.

1348
01:41:54,120 --> 01:41:55,120
That's it.

1349
01:41:55,120 --> 01:41:56,120
It's us.

1350
01:41:56,120 --> 01:41:59,120
That's what we do.

1351
01:41:59,120 --> 01:42:00,120
Just.

1352
01:42:00,120 --> 01:42:01,120
Oh, man.

1353
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:11,880
I just, you know, the things I can't say on the podcast, but dear God, you know, they

1354
01:42:11,880 --> 01:42:17,080
would be ashamed to have us on the other side only because if you.

1355
01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:18,080
Yeah.

1356
01:42:18,080 --> 01:42:19,080
Yeah, just just.

1357
01:42:19,080 --> 01:42:20,080
Yeah.

1358
01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:22,280
It would be it would be a lot.

1359
01:42:22,280 --> 01:42:26,960
But that being said, I think our crew would have a little bit of fun with an Abrams.

1360
01:42:26,960 --> 01:42:27,960
Oh, yeah.

1361
01:42:27,960 --> 01:42:31,400
Just saying that would be enjoyable.

1362
01:42:31,400 --> 01:42:33,720
Unless we can make our own somehow.

1363
01:42:33,720 --> 01:42:35,880
Uh huh.

1364
01:42:35,880 --> 01:42:36,880
That's the other thing.

1365
01:42:36,880 --> 01:42:39,000
I'd like imagine all the Mad Max bullshit.

1366
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:40,000
Oh, God.

1367
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:41,000
Yes.

1368
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:45,680
People taking the M777 like the 155 Howitzers and sticking them on like an RV.

1369
01:42:45,680 --> 01:42:46,680
Big guns.

1370
01:42:46,680 --> 01:42:49,680
Oh, OK, Beavis.

1371
01:42:49,680 --> 01:42:52,960
Is it Beavis or Butt-Head?

1372
01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:53,960
I always get the two confused.

1373
01:42:53,960 --> 01:42:54,960
I had.

1374
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:55,960
OK, Butt-Head.

1375
01:42:55,960 --> 01:42:56,960
Yeah.

1376
01:42:56,960 --> 01:42:57,960
But it is a deeper voice one.

1377
01:42:57,960 --> 01:42:58,960
Ah, OK.

1378
01:42:58,960 --> 01:42:59,960
Come to Butt-Head.

1379
01:42:59,960 --> 01:43:12,720
But yeah, I think I think, uh, I don't know if there's anything else on the docket to

1380
01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:14,160
discuss on that one.

1381
01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:16,360
No, we've gone way off topic.

1382
01:43:16,360 --> 01:43:17,400
So we're we're good.

1383
01:43:17,400 --> 01:43:19,520
I like any of the podcasts when we go off topic.

1384
01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:20,520
I feel like that's the.

1385
01:43:20,520 --> 01:43:24,320
It's a nice way to wrap it up, you know.

1386
01:43:24,320 --> 01:43:26,520
Oh, yeah.

1387
01:43:26,520 --> 01:43:31,160
Yeah, I think to probably close this one out, I want to say thank you everybody to listening.

1388
01:43:31,160 --> 01:43:32,160
We really appreciate it.

1389
01:43:32,160 --> 01:43:35,400
We always enjoy interacting with people.

1390
01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:38,920
Definitely want to invite everyone over to our discord, you know, to our various social

1391
01:43:38,920 --> 01:43:41,480
media is between our Facebook or Instagram.

1392
01:43:41,480 --> 01:43:43,920
I guess Tick Tock is still alive.

1393
01:43:43,920 --> 01:43:45,560
They've in the air.

1394
01:43:45,560 --> 01:43:47,040
It may or may not be up.

1395
01:43:47,040 --> 01:43:49,040
No, it's not up.

1396
01:43:49,040 --> 01:43:51,280
So did they bring it back up?

1397
01:43:51,280 --> 01:43:52,520
Yeah, it was down earlier today.

1398
01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:54,000
No, no, it's up now.

1399
01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:56,760
It's up as of like, you know, three or four o'clock.

1400
01:43:56,760 --> 01:44:01,360
OK, so if that doesn't give people an idea of when we're recording this, I don't know

1401
01:44:01,360 --> 01:44:02,360
what does.

1402
01:44:02,360 --> 01:44:03,360
But so we have.

1403
01:44:03,360 --> 01:44:07,080
If that doesn't, this will.

1404
01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:13,360
For better or worse, tonight is the last episode we will record with President Biden in the

1405
01:44:13,360 --> 01:44:17,320
White House tomorrow at noon.

1406
01:44:17,320 --> 01:44:20,320
President Trump gets sworn back into office.

1407
01:44:20,320 --> 01:44:27,120
We may do an episode covering some of the shenanigans of the past four years, the previous

1408
01:44:27,120 --> 01:44:31,600
four years and the forthcoming four years.

1409
01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:36,240
We know the politics gets touchy.

1410
01:44:36,240 --> 01:44:40,120
We're going to give people some time to digest everything before we try to go down that path.

1411
01:44:40,120 --> 01:44:44,000
Yeah, I don't want to like shove politics down people's throats because that gets really

1412
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:48,800
boring because 97 other people, you know, I said, million people do that.

1413
01:44:48,800 --> 01:44:53,960
But we also want to take some time to look at at least like I'm a big political junkie

1414
01:44:53,960 --> 01:44:56,840
and I want to take some time if that's something if that's an episode people were interested

1415
01:44:56,840 --> 01:44:57,840
in.

1416
01:44:57,840 --> 01:45:04,000
I want to look as as factually as I could from, you know, Biden's presidency and then

1417
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:09,200
look at Trump's previous presidency and look at what the Agenda 47 thing he has going on

1418
01:45:09,200 --> 01:45:14,640
and seeing, you know, where we have been, what happened and hopefully where we might

1419
01:45:14,640 --> 01:45:20,800
be and be able to give an honest, you know, as unbiased as I could assessment on it.

1420
01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:21,800
Right.

1421
01:45:21,800 --> 01:45:29,400
Because we we both have our own leanings politically, but we're both also capable of, you know,

1422
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:35,240
playing devil's advocate, being kind of unbiased or less biased, at least.

1423
01:45:35,240 --> 01:45:36,240
Yes.

1424
01:45:36,240 --> 01:45:41,960
Because at the end of the day, we both want to see the country do well.

1425
01:45:41,960 --> 01:45:45,360
Neither of us are the biggest fans of the government as it sits.

1426
01:45:45,360 --> 01:45:46,360
What?

1427
01:45:46,360 --> 01:45:47,360
In either capacity.

1428
01:45:47,360 --> 01:45:53,840
No, but this podcast, I know, you know, couldn't imagine.

1429
01:45:53,840 --> 01:46:00,200
We'll we'll kind of go down that path a little bit more in detail when it's a little bit

1430
01:46:00,200 --> 01:46:01,200
more appropriate.

1431
01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:06,080
So just know that those episodes are coming.

1432
01:46:06,080 --> 01:46:08,520
Not like Johnny Sins, but we will hold back.

1433
01:46:08,520 --> 01:46:11,400
How do you get the Johnny Sins reference in there?

1434
01:46:11,400 --> 01:46:14,440
You saw what Johnny said today.

1435
01:46:14,440 --> 01:46:17,440
I know what you were doing over the weekend.

1436
01:46:17,440 --> 01:46:21,240
The kids are here.

1437
01:46:21,240 --> 01:46:23,760
Oh, yeah.

1438
01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:26,760
Just want to say thank you.

1439
01:46:26,760 --> 01:46:30,000
Again, happy 13th birthday to my son, Aiden.

1440
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:34,200
I did get permission from his mom to use his name on the podcast.

1441
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:36,400
So birthday.

1442
01:46:36,400 --> 01:46:37,640
Yeah.

1443
01:46:37,640 --> 01:46:38,800
Welcome.

1444
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:40,800
Welcome to the almost adult club.

1445
01:46:40,800 --> 01:46:41,800
Yeah.

1446
01:46:41,800 --> 01:46:45,680
His last day of being a preteen was today.

1447
01:46:45,680 --> 01:46:46,680
Yeah.

1448
01:46:46,680 --> 01:46:48,160
A strapping kid.

1449
01:46:48,160 --> 01:46:49,160
Right.

1450
01:46:49,160 --> 01:46:54,200
You know, as you've known me longer than or as long as he's been alive now.

1451
01:46:54,200 --> 01:46:56,280
Yeah, I'm an old fuck.

1452
01:46:56,280 --> 01:47:00,920
That's that's because I met you like when he was on the way.

1453
01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:01,920
Yeah.

1454
01:47:01,920 --> 01:47:04,400
Like that's.

1455
01:47:04,400 --> 01:47:05,400
Yeah, I.

1456
01:47:05,400 --> 01:47:06,400
Yeah.

1457
01:47:06,400 --> 01:47:07,400
Wow.

1458
01:47:07,400 --> 01:47:08,400
How are your knees doing?

1459
01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:10,800
They're fucking not.

1460
01:47:10,800 --> 01:47:13,600
I was ripping up carpet all day and that's not a euphemism or anything.

1461
01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:17,480
I was literally ripping up carpet in their office.

1462
01:47:17,480 --> 01:47:19,800
That carpet's been in since the 60s, man.

1463
01:47:19,800 --> 01:47:21,120
It's it's seen some shit.

1464
01:47:21,120 --> 01:47:22,120
So.

1465
01:47:22,120 --> 01:47:23,120
Uh huh.

1466
01:47:23,120 --> 01:47:30,560
So that's why the miss missus almost Mrs. Gibbs isn't here.

1467
01:47:30,560 --> 01:47:32,160
Pretty funny.

1468
01:47:32,160 --> 01:47:33,160
Yeah.

1469
01:47:33,160 --> 01:47:38,400
On a serious note, I have learned to be careful where the staples are, the carpet.

1470
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:39,400
Oh, yeah.

1471
01:47:39,400 --> 01:47:41,360
I heard you the tetanus shot at this point.

1472
01:47:41,360 --> 01:47:46,680
I've stepped on it so many staples with my bare foot.

1473
01:47:46,680 --> 01:47:55,760
And do you ever see that that that see with Jim Carrey where he's oh, God, not Zoolander,

1474
01:47:55,760 --> 01:48:00,480
maybe Zoolander where he gets the arrow to the knees like, ah, and he looks at the.

1475
01:48:00,480 --> 01:48:08,360
Oh, my God, that was what's that was a Ventura to a sorry I couldn't think of the movie.

1476
01:48:08,360 --> 01:48:09,640
I'm not a big Jim Carrey guy.

1477
01:48:09,640 --> 01:48:11,240
I don't know what to tell you.

1478
01:48:11,240 --> 01:48:15,960
But it's the one where he gets the arrow to the knee and then he yells at the other knee

1479
01:48:15,960 --> 01:48:18,840
that that was me for about four straight hours this afternoon.

1480
01:48:18,840 --> 01:48:22,240
Just didn't want those staples on the floor.

1481
01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:23,240
Yeah.

1482
01:48:23,240 --> 01:48:26,480
Yeah, it's been fun.

1483
01:48:26,480 --> 01:48:28,600
But all right.

1484
01:48:28,600 --> 01:48:32,520
I think we're probably pretty, pretty good to close this one out, huh?

1485
01:48:32,520 --> 01:48:34,320
Yeah, I think so.

1486
01:48:34,320 --> 01:48:35,320
All right.

1487
01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:36,320
Cool.

1488
01:48:36,320 --> 01:48:38,920
Socials, Discord at birthday, Aidan.

1489
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:46,080
And thank you as always to everybody that's listening in, hitting us up on the socials.

1490
01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:49,800
We've got a couple of new ones on the discord.

1491
01:48:49,800 --> 01:48:52,240
I got to make Grover's role.

1492
01:48:52,240 --> 01:48:53,240
Got to make Grover's role.

1493
01:48:53,240 --> 01:48:54,240
Oh, yeah.

1494
01:48:54,240 --> 01:48:55,240
I'll do it.

1495
01:48:55,240 --> 01:48:57,760
Super Grover's got to get the one of us role.

1496
01:48:57,760 --> 01:48:58,760
The first.

1497
01:48:58,760 --> 01:49:02,040
No, he's getting the Smitty Warbird, Yeager man, Johnson, because he was number one.

1498
01:49:02,040 --> 01:49:03,040
Oh, yeah.

1499
01:49:03,040 --> 01:49:05,040
Yeah, that's right.

1500
01:49:05,040 --> 01:49:09,720
So, yeah.

1501
01:49:09,720 --> 01:49:11,400
Find us again next week.

1502
01:49:11,400 --> 01:49:16,160
Thank you as always for listening and we'll see you then.

1503
01:49:16,160 --> 01:49:31,580
Yeah, we'll see you then.

1504
01:50:01,580 --> 01:50:03,580
Thank you.
