WEBVTT 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.980 Join us on Now We Consume. Take in the knowledge. 00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:07.259 Take in the laughs. Indulge in the topics with 00:00:07.259 --> 00:00:10.859 us. The Now We Consume podcast will take you 00:00:10.859 --> 00:00:13.179 through the parts of your day you normally dread. 00:00:13.939 --> 00:00:16.579 Why suffer through the existential crisis of 00:00:16.579 --> 00:00:20.160 life alone when you can do it with us? And now 00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.179 we consume. This is not meant to be a conspiracy 00:00:23.179 --> 00:00:25.239 episode or podcast, but we may cover some topics 00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:26.500 that dance that line like a toddler dances on 00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:28.820 their mother's last nerve. This podcast is rated 00:00:28.820 --> 00:00:32.030 I. For immature audiences only. If you've ever 00:00:32.030 --> 00:00:34.170 birthed a sharp art masterpiece in a truck stop 00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:36.369 restroom stall, framed it with your favorite 00:00:36.369 --> 00:00:39.390 sharp one -ply, and titled it Regret No. 47 with 00:00:39.390 --> 00:00:41.729 a sharpie, then get ready for the Jackson Pollock 00:00:41.729 --> 00:00:44.049 of regret that is the Now We Consume podcast. 00:00:44.950 --> 00:00:46.729 Welcome to the show, everybody. I'm your host, 00:00:46.829 --> 00:00:49.570 Gibbs. I'm, oh my God, I did it again. Jesus, 00:00:49.810 --> 00:00:52.350 I look up and there is Gibbs puzzled as ever. 00:00:52.950 --> 00:00:57.390 I'm your host, Pip. I think I'm Pip. I'm your 00:00:57.390 --> 00:00:59.609 host, Pip, here with my co -hosts, Gibbs and 00:00:59.609 --> 00:01:02.929 Gibbles. They're both shocked as shit at what 00:01:02.929 --> 00:01:03.670 just came out of my mouth. Why the fuck do you 00:01:03.670 --> 00:01:05.890 carry Sharpie with you? Why do you carry Sharpie 00:01:05.890 --> 00:01:09.370 with you into the bathroom? Do you not? No. Because 00:01:09.370 --> 00:01:12.090 if you go into a truck stop restroom, you can 00:01:12.090 --> 00:01:14.590 put your ex's phone number up there with a message 00:01:14.590 --> 00:01:23.010 that says, show me your poop. No. No. I have 00:01:23.010 --> 00:01:25.049 so many questions, and I don't want the answer. 00:01:25.230 --> 00:01:29.290 This is the problem. Are you that fucking person 00:01:29.290 --> 00:01:31.090 that's writing random people's phone numbers 00:01:31.090 --> 00:01:32.950 at truck stops and shit? Are you the person? 00:01:33.450 --> 00:01:36.870 Are you not? Just waiting for the call to just 00:01:36.870 --> 00:01:40.890 really mess with them. Oh, my God. You're the 00:01:40.890 --> 00:01:44.250 dude. You're the guy. We figured this out. Okay. 00:01:45.099 --> 00:01:47.760 That's just one way to handle a very messy breakup. 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:50.939 If you separate on good terms, then I do not 00:01:50.939 --> 00:01:52.939 recommend it because then they're going to get 00:01:52.939 --> 00:01:55.299 random pictures of shit into perpetuity and they 00:01:55.299 --> 00:01:59.140 have to get a new number. But anyways, this is 00:01:59.140 --> 00:02:01.439 the Now We Consume podcast and tonight we are 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:05.840 going to cover something that given last week's 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.979 little taint tickle from the sun that we got, 00:02:09.099 --> 00:02:12.879 we're going to talk about... Loss of the power 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.319 grid, the day of dark sky, the day of black sky, 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:20.759 the power grid going down via an EMP attack or 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.520 via just grid collapse due to exigent circumstances. 00:02:25.979 --> 00:02:42.490 One word. This is cannibalism. Carve up a human 00:02:42.490 --> 00:02:45.330 body. I will reshare that information later. 00:02:46.069 --> 00:02:48.909 Gibbs was also referred to as a well marbled 00:02:48.909 --> 00:02:57.370 individual. I love that look, buddy. Jesus Christ. 00:02:57.930 --> 00:03:03.949 I'm just here. Jesus Christ. Oh, my God. Jesus. 00:03:04.169 --> 00:03:06.590 The first person in history to ever film a podcast 00:03:06.590 --> 00:03:13.210 and leave with a sore anus. Jesus Christ. So, 00:03:13.250 --> 00:03:20.289 Jesus. This is a bunch of topics that, like I 00:03:20.289 --> 00:03:22.030 said, given last week's little run in with the 00:03:22.030 --> 00:03:25.639 sun. A lot of people don't realize how close 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.879 humanity really is to the verge of collapse, 00:03:29.060 --> 00:03:33.099 given a major disaster like that. If you go to 00:03:33.099 --> 00:03:35.479 turn on the power and the power just not only 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.520 does not turn on, but never turns on again, or 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.219 maybe not necessarily never, but maybe it's several 00:03:41.219 --> 00:03:44.960 weeks, several months. There is so much shit 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:49.000 that can and will go wrong before everything 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.370 even starts to go right again. Gibbles, before 00:03:53.370 --> 00:03:56.389 we went on, you were saying something that I 00:03:56.389 --> 00:04:01.490 want you to go ahead and mention. The timeline. 00:04:01.889 --> 00:04:06.050 The timeline to collapse. Oh, at least a week. 00:04:07.250 --> 00:04:11.830 After no power for a week, at that point, continuity 00:04:11.830 --> 00:04:14.110 of government can become an issue because there's 00:04:14.110 --> 00:04:16.930 no power. And when we say no power, that means 00:04:16.930 --> 00:04:21.519 everything is fried. You've got no electronics. 00:04:21.819 --> 00:04:24.139 You've got no radios. You've got no flashlights. 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:30.379 We've basically been stepped back to the 1930s. 00:04:30.379 --> 00:04:34.579 Pre -1900s. Yeah, pre -1900s. So you're going 00:04:34.579 --> 00:04:36.459 to have a lot of people that are not going to 00:04:36.459 --> 00:04:38.339 know what to do with someone in that situation. 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:43.199 And like I said, in about a week, society is 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:48.350 going to collapse. A little bit of a differentiation 00:04:48.350 --> 00:04:53.189 here. A grid collapse versus an EMP. If an EMP 00:04:53.189 --> 00:04:56.629 hits, we are back to the Stone Age. Hands down. 00:04:56.769 --> 00:04:59.870 No ifs, ands, or buts about it. All electronics, 00:05:00.250 --> 00:05:03.589 unless they are in specially designed shielded 00:05:03.589 --> 00:05:07.410 containers, are gone. In a grid down scenario, 00:05:07.769 --> 00:05:11.509 where just the entire power grid collapses and 00:05:11.509 --> 00:05:14.850 all the power plants are gone and offline. We 00:05:14.850 --> 00:05:17.389 will still have portable electronics. We'll still 00:05:17.389 --> 00:05:21.990 have power packs. We'll still have solar panels 00:05:21.990 --> 00:05:25.670 and power generation devices. So in the grand 00:05:25.670 --> 00:05:27.910 scheme of things, that's the best worst -case 00:05:27.910 --> 00:05:30.569 scenario that we could hope for is just the grid 00:05:30.569 --> 00:05:33.569 -down scenario. Yeah, New York went through that. 00:05:34.050 --> 00:05:36.550 What's that? Yeah, New York went through that. 00:05:37.050 --> 00:05:39.290 Well, a lot of us have gone through that if you've 00:05:39.290 --> 00:05:41.709 been in an area where there's a major disaster. 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:45.360 earthquakes fires blizzards uh the the texas 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.060 blizzard back in what was it 2021 i think it 00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:50.899 was oh yeah they had no power for a while anybody 00:05:50.899 --> 00:05:54.459 that lives in a hurricane affected area um they 00:05:54.459 --> 00:05:57.660 routinely are without power for several days 00:05:57.660 --> 00:05:59.240 and they've just kind of learned how to cope 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:04.579 uh the emp attack though that's the big one because 00:06:04.579 --> 00:06:12.610 there are a lot of nation states and even I think 00:06:12.610 --> 00:06:16.569 we talked about last season, uh, Iran and Syria 00:06:16.569 --> 00:06:21.269 have the capability to launch container ship 00:06:21.269 --> 00:06:25.430 mounted missiles that can hold a payload large 00:06:25.430 --> 00:06:29.209 enough to take out the entire U S and they can 00:06:29.209 --> 00:06:31.689 get these ships into the Gulf of Mexico. I'm 00:06:31.689 --> 00:06:35.910 sorry, the Gulf of America now, um, or off the 00:06:35.910 --> 00:06:40.290 coast of the U S And they have demonstrated these 00:06:40.290 --> 00:06:43.029 launches in the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, and 00:06:43.029 --> 00:06:46.930 the Persian Gulf. That is public knowledge now. 00:06:47.829 --> 00:06:51.810 So these devices can get stuck right off our 00:06:51.810 --> 00:06:54.329 coasts, and they're going to launch too close 00:06:54.329 --> 00:06:57.410 for us to be able to do anything about it. And 00:06:57.410 --> 00:07:00.529 all of a sudden, it's just a silent little lights 00:07:00.529 --> 00:07:05.430 out. No big boom, no shattering glass, no mushroom 00:07:05.430 --> 00:07:09.759 cloud. we're just driving along the highway one 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.779 day, the next, your car dies, your cell phone 00:07:12.779 --> 00:07:15.480 dies, the radio dies, planes start falling out 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:17.939 of the sky, possibly. That one I haven't been 00:07:17.939 --> 00:07:20.300 able to 100 % confirm, but newer planes are supposed 00:07:20.300 --> 00:07:22.420 to be shielded from that. They may be able to 00:07:22.420 --> 00:07:27.740 land or just crash softly. Yeah, they're not 00:07:27.740 --> 00:07:31.100 going to just fall out of the sky. I can't see 00:07:31.100 --> 00:07:33.860 that. They'll glide, I believe. But they're not 00:07:33.860 --> 00:07:37.300 going to drop like in the movies. But yeah, they'll 00:07:37.300 --> 00:07:39.500 glide out of the sky, which is probably even 00:07:39.500 --> 00:07:43.139 more terrifying. But you're still going to have 00:07:43.139 --> 00:07:46.540 folks with pacemakers, people who are dependent 00:07:46.540 --> 00:07:50.839 on life -saving technology. Then you're going 00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.860 to start getting into the short -term emergency 00:07:53.860 --> 00:07:57.600 stuff. All communications are down. All traffic 00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:59.920 stuff is going to be down. If you're out and 00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:03.339 about, you are now walking to get home. Or you're 00:08:03.339 --> 00:08:06.120 looking for bicycles. You know, a bicycle will 00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:10.180 be worth your weight in gold at that point. And 00:08:10.180 --> 00:08:15.100 how many of us over 25 have bicycled unless you 00:08:15.100 --> 00:08:18.699 do it as a hobby or a sport or whatever? You 00:08:18.699 --> 00:08:22.899 know, that's the one thing we've stressed to 00:08:22.899 --> 00:08:26.120 our children to do is learn to ride a bike. Yes. 00:08:27.340 --> 00:08:30.000 Yeah. Also, learning directions. That's something 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.960 I'm going over with my son. He gets lost in our 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:36.580 town just when we're out and about. You guys 00:08:36.580 --> 00:08:39.019 have been down here. It's not a hard town to 00:08:39.019 --> 00:08:43.159 navigate. No. Trust me. After growing up where 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:47.639 I've grown up, that shit's easy. You grew up 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:49.539 in my area and you understand sometimes to go 00:08:49.539 --> 00:08:52.620 south, you have to go north and west. My roads 00:08:52.620 --> 00:08:56.360 are fucked up near Boston. You guys, at least 00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:59.080 like it's somewhat of a grid. So like, it makes 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:01.019 sense. You want to go South. You can pretty much 00:09:01.019 --> 00:09:03.179 just go South. Yeah. You, you turn down to go 00:09:03.179 --> 00:09:09.820 South. That's it. So we've, we've got all this 00:09:09.820 --> 00:09:13.940 chaos going on. Once people realize what's going 00:09:13.940 --> 00:09:15.700 on, it's going to be the people who have paid 00:09:15.700 --> 00:09:18.259 attention that have their eyes open and their 00:09:18.259 --> 00:09:22.549 heads on a swivel that will realize it. In an 00:09:22.549 --> 00:09:25.389 EMP situation, if the pocket electronics go out, 00:09:25.490 --> 00:09:28.549 that's when the chaos starts. Because those are 00:09:28.549 --> 00:09:31.570 the people who are going to know nothing's coming 00:09:31.570 --> 00:09:36.669 back on at all. But if you're smart and you've 00:09:36.669 --> 00:09:38.529 paid attention, those are going to be the people 00:09:38.529 --> 00:09:42.230 to watch for and try to get with. Because they'll 00:09:42.230 --> 00:09:45.389 probably have at least some things on hand and 00:09:45.389 --> 00:09:50.789 have prepared. Food. Emergency backup food. Water. 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:54.899 Yeah. Unlike that previous episode we discussed, 00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.460 we went over a whole, you know, having bug out 00:09:57.460 --> 00:09:59.220 bags, have everything else, having your preparations, 00:09:59.419 --> 00:10:02.059 you know, and everything in check. Biggest piece 00:10:02.059 --> 00:10:03.779 of advice, just have a plan of action and make 00:10:03.779 --> 00:10:06.320 sure you can be able to execute that plan. Even 00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:07.899 as something as simple as just having basics 00:10:07.899 --> 00:10:09.879 in a bag or something else, or at least with 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:11.279 your immediate family, whoever you live with. 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.159 That way people aren't panicking, you know, because 00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.600 sometimes having a plan will keep you from making 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.169 very dumb decisions. So sometimes it's not just 00:10:19.169 --> 00:10:21.190 following the plan. It's keeping you from doing 00:10:21.190 --> 00:10:27.610 other stupid shit. 100%. And go ahead. No, the 00:10:27.610 --> 00:10:28.929 only thing I want to bring up too, I think a 00:10:28.929 --> 00:10:30.549 lot of people need to understand, even if it's 00:10:30.549 --> 00:10:33.649 just a grid down scenario, most electronics, 00:10:34.309 --> 00:10:36.950 capacitors, anything else, transformers that 00:10:36.950 --> 00:10:39.210 are used in America are not made in America. 00:10:39.549 --> 00:10:41.990 And they require resources from outside the country. 00:10:42.429 --> 00:10:46.120 So the issue is even if. It's just the best case 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.559 scenario of the power goes down nationally, the 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:51.179 national grid goes down. It's going to be months, 00:10:51.259 --> 00:10:53.720 if not years, for us to get all those resources, 00:10:53.980 --> 00:10:56.019 all those materials, all that equipment, everything 00:10:56.019 --> 00:10:58.480 else put back together and in place. So regardless, 00:10:58.659 --> 00:11:01.659 if it is that large EMP scenario, even if it's 00:11:01.659 --> 00:11:03.620 just locally in your, let's just say, county 00:11:03.620 --> 00:11:06.019 or even state, that's still going to take months, 00:11:06.019 --> 00:11:07.659 if not possible, years to get everything fully 00:11:07.659 --> 00:11:09.399 back up and running. That's not to mention logistics, 00:11:09.820 --> 00:11:13.299 food, everything else. It's still a major, major 00:11:13.299 --> 00:11:16.789 issue. Yeah. So the biggest thing with the EMP 00:11:16.789 --> 00:11:19.750 attack, getting things back online after that 00:11:19.750 --> 00:11:24.210 requires replacing thousands of specialized custom 00:11:24.210 --> 00:11:27.850 built high voltage transformers, along with a 00:11:27.850 --> 00:11:30.750 lot of complex electronic controls, most of which 00:11:30.750 --> 00:11:34.049 take one to two years to replace under normal 00:11:34.049 --> 00:11:37.929 conditions. They do not keep that stuff on hand 00:11:37.929 --> 00:11:40.649 here in the States. Almost all of it's made, 00:11:40.870 --> 00:11:44.500 I believe in Europe. Some of it, I think, in 00:11:44.500 --> 00:11:47.980 Japan. Go ahead, Gibbons. Yeah. I was going to 00:11:47.980 --> 00:11:49.700 say, if it's something that's made in the U .S., 00:11:49.700 --> 00:11:52.360 they have shown time and again that if they need 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:56.720 to get it done quickly, they can do it. It's 00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:59.759 just you need the motivation. Yeah. Regionally, 00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:02.299 they can get small sections as long as it's not 00:12:02.299 --> 00:12:06.399 like the big power plant stuff that has to get 00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:08.720 replaced. Substations, they can get handled. 00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:14.470 One piece of a power. plant they can get that 00:12:14.470 --> 00:12:19.750 handled but overall they can't get a whole country 00:12:19.750 --> 00:12:25.250 back up and running anytime soon so you know 00:12:25.250 --> 00:12:26.750 you're you're going to be looking at those first 00:12:26.750 --> 00:12:31.389 30 days and it's going to be pure chaos you better 00:12:31.389 --> 00:12:35.690 get your gun bubba yeah all those states that 00:12:35.690 --> 00:12:37.370 have strict gun laws and shit are going to be 00:12:37.370 --> 00:12:44.940 regretting all that real quick so Just make sure 00:12:44.940 --> 00:12:46.559 you guys can focus on being self -sufficient, 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.460 self -reliant for those 30 to 60 days. Yeah. 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:52.220 Or have a plan to get the hell out of there if 00:12:52.220 --> 00:12:54.159 it's in a situation that's not advantageous to 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.659 stay in. Yeah. If you're in the city, get out. 00:12:57.740 --> 00:13:02.919 Yeah. Because the big thing is the EMP doesn't 00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:08.179 have to be enemy bound. The sun can take us out. 00:13:08.909 --> 00:13:11.649 It can do the same kind of damage that an EMP 00:13:11.649 --> 00:13:16.409 can do. So that's why... Go ahead. I was going 00:13:16.409 --> 00:13:19.870 to say, back when the United States used Morse 00:13:19.870 --> 00:13:24.470 code to transmit information over wire, you had 00:13:24.470 --> 00:13:26.629 that solar storm that came through, and they 00:13:26.629 --> 00:13:28.509 said there were sparks coming off the cables. 00:13:29.389 --> 00:13:32.029 People were getting shocked as they were trying 00:13:32.029 --> 00:13:35.389 to transmit information for the telegraph and 00:13:35.389 --> 00:13:39.560 everything. Yeah, the Carrington event. Yeah. 00:13:39.560 --> 00:13:44.139 1883 or 1886, whatever. Yeah. That was a solar 00:13:44.139 --> 00:13:46.940 flare with a CME like we've had over the past 00:13:46.940 --> 00:13:50.759 couple of weeks. And it puts so much voltage 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:54.720 into the atmosphere that, like you said, the 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.639 telegraph lines were lighting up. Now, if that 00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:01.860 same level hit today, we would be in some real 00:14:01.860 --> 00:14:05.019 trouble. Well, they're like electric companies. 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.580 We best get free electricity for a little bit. 00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:14.480 Oh yeah. How dare we? Oh no. Now, realistically, 00:14:14.580 --> 00:14:17.460 the way everything is set up, I think that would 00:14:17.460 --> 00:14:21.139 probably lead more to a nationwide grid down 00:14:21.139 --> 00:14:25.759 event versus an EMP. Um, but there would still 00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:30.639 be some EMP type effects, but we'd still have 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:32.480 most of the handheld electronics that would survive 00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:37.070 at least. So if you have information that you've 00:14:37.070 --> 00:14:39.970 hoarded as far as like survival information and 00:14:39.970 --> 00:14:42.490 you have it downloaded on separate devices and 00:14:42.490 --> 00:14:45.889 thumb drives you would still be able to access 00:14:45.889 --> 00:14:50.409 that at least you know i we've we've always encouraged 00:14:50.409 --> 00:14:53.230 you know self -sufficiency preparedness power 00:14:53.230 --> 00:14:58.470 packs solar panels portable devices like chromebooks 00:14:58.470 --> 00:15:01.710 that are just for holding information pdfs and 00:15:01.710 --> 00:15:07.750 shit those are going to be worth literal I don't 00:15:07.750 --> 00:15:09.990 know. Gold would be nothing compared to that 00:15:09.990 --> 00:15:12.850 kind of information. Especially the best thing 00:15:12.850 --> 00:15:15.210 you can do is get some sort of reliable survival 00:15:15.210 --> 00:15:18.610 guide printed out, laminated, have it in a book. 00:15:19.049 --> 00:15:21.149 That way no one can take that from you and it's 00:15:21.149 --> 00:15:24.149 not going to go anywhere. Yeah. Or like one of 00:15:24.149 --> 00:15:27.110 those TikTok advertisements about the, what is 00:15:27.110 --> 00:15:29.809 that book called? The Forgotten Apothecary or 00:15:29.809 --> 00:15:32.029 whatever? Yeah, something like that where it's 00:15:32.029 --> 00:15:35.379 like how to make beer. Filter water, you know, 00:15:35.379 --> 00:15:37.720 just all sorts of random things that people take 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:41.559 for granted that if we lost all electricity for 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:44.799 it just didn't come back, you're going to need 00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:48.559 some of that kind of information. Yeah. Yeah, 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:51.460 because think about it. Within three days, you're 00:15:51.460 --> 00:15:54.799 going to be dealing with a lack of water flowing 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.320 through the pipes both ways. So no new water 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:03.330 in, no water out, which includes sewage. Fuel 00:16:03.330 --> 00:16:07.429 pumps, you're not getting gas if the cars are 00:16:07.429 --> 00:16:11.110 even still running. Food will be a major issue 00:16:11.110 --> 00:16:14.669 because just -in -time stocking is how stores 00:16:14.669 --> 00:16:18.070 operate. Stores typically have 72 hours of stock 00:16:18.070 --> 00:16:23.149 on hand. So within 72 hours, you're going to 00:16:23.149 --> 00:16:25.809 be out of food, out of gas, and out of everything 00:16:25.809 --> 00:16:29.149 you need if you don't have supplies on hand. 00:16:29.809 --> 00:16:34.029 The average household, has about three to five 00:16:34.029 --> 00:16:38.590 days of food on hand that's the average household 00:16:38.590 --> 00:16:41.750 i know most of us have a little bit beyond that 00:16:41.750 --> 00:16:44.929 we have kids we have other people that we care 00:16:44.929 --> 00:16:47.990 for and whatnot so we keep a little bit more 00:16:47.990 --> 00:16:51.789 than that but you're still going to have to figure 00:16:51.789 --> 00:16:54.450 out real quick what's going to go bad because 00:16:54.450 --> 00:16:56.830 if you don't have power perishables are going 00:16:56.830 --> 00:17:00.379 to go a hell of a lot faster all your Frozen 00:17:00.379 --> 00:17:04.099 stuff is going to start to thaw. Within a week, 00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:06.420 you're going to be down to the non -perishables. 00:17:09.660 --> 00:17:14.220 That's right. Communication. If you don't have 00:17:14.220 --> 00:17:17.940 backup radios, any kind of way to talk to people 00:17:17.940 --> 00:17:21.700 besides pen and paper and smoke signals and flags, 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.789 you're going to be out of luck. Again, grid down. 00:17:26.809 --> 00:17:30.450 You will have radios, but EMP, no, you're not 00:17:30.450 --> 00:17:33.849 going to have any of that. Wire phones like the 00:17:33.849 --> 00:17:38.390 old style could be an eventuality. That book, 00:17:38.430 --> 00:17:40.069 One Second After, I know we've referenced that 00:17:40.069 --> 00:17:44.809 a few times. That is a definitive guide. It is 00:17:44.809 --> 00:17:50.289 fiction. Excuse me. It is fiction, but it is 00:17:50.289 --> 00:17:52.849 a recommended reading for anybody in Congress 00:17:52.849 --> 00:17:56.390 and the Senate. The fact that that's a book that's 00:17:56.390 --> 00:18:00.069 that high up on the totem pole. Great information 00:18:00.069 --> 00:18:06.809 inside. Generator fuel and batteries will run 00:18:06.809 --> 00:18:10.509 out within a week. Landlines are not going to 00:18:10.509 --> 00:18:13.150 be an option because even an EMP, those are done 00:18:13.150 --> 00:18:16.990 as well. Supply chains we've already talked about. 00:18:17.750 --> 00:18:21.130 So food, water, medicine. Medicine is going to 00:18:21.130 --> 00:18:24.289 be a big one. Anyone who relies on. any kind 00:18:24.289 --> 00:18:26.869 of life -saving medication, life -saving life 00:18:26.869 --> 00:18:31.849 maintenance meds. I mean, I'm sorry, but if, 00:18:31.970 --> 00:18:33.750 if it's not something that's going to change 00:18:33.750 --> 00:18:37.670 with health due to lack of food and resources 00:18:37.670 --> 00:18:41.569 and whatnot, they're, they're not going to be 00:18:41.569 --> 00:18:45.250 around for much longer. Yeah. They can help in 00:18:45.250 --> 00:18:48.589 other ways. They like that too. Yeah. But they 00:18:48.589 --> 00:18:50.410 can help in other ways after they're gone. I 00:18:50.410 --> 00:18:55.839 mean, they can feed a family. Yeah. Why are you 00:18:55.839 --> 00:19:00.960 looking at me, Gibbs? You know, the fact that 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:02.059 you're looking at your family members like a 00:19:02.059 --> 00:19:08.079 four for four over there. Hey, if it's survival, 00:19:08.259 --> 00:19:11.799 you got to look for food where you can. There's 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:15.900 a very big line between which animals I'm eating 00:19:15.900 --> 00:19:20.099 before I start looking at people, though. I'll 00:19:20.099 --> 00:19:22.900 be looking for the cuter, the better you would 00:19:22.900 --> 00:19:31.849 hope. Oh, so the cuter animals have been fed 00:19:31.849 --> 00:19:34.930 well and pampered. So those will have the tenderest 00:19:34.930 --> 00:19:42.509 meat. Yes. The same applies for the people. So 00:19:42.509 --> 00:19:46.829 after the initial 30 days, you can start to look 00:19:46.829 --> 00:19:49.930 into a recovery and stabilization because after 00:19:49.930 --> 00:19:51.970 that first month, if you've managed to make it 00:19:51.970 --> 00:19:56.740 that far, You're going to have dealt with the 00:19:56.740 --> 00:19:59.559 initial breakdown, all of the psychosis that's 00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:01.900 going to follow from yourself and civilization, 00:20:02.299 --> 00:20:07.759 the initial onset of Raiders, and then just the 00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.259 madness of the decline and anything short -term 00:20:11.259 --> 00:20:14.319 that's going to hit. So all the short -term diseases, 00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.259 all the short -term sickness and whatnot, you're 00:20:18.259 --> 00:20:19.619 going to have gotten through all that within 00:20:19.619 --> 00:20:23.019 that first month. After that month. the rebuilding 00:20:23.019 --> 00:20:25.140 and the planning for survival can really start. 00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:32.640 So you can begin trying to grow crops if you 00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:36.660 haven't already trying to gather resources to 00:20:36.660 --> 00:20:42.259 promote livestock, because by then, hopefully 00:20:42.259 --> 00:20:46.339 the worst people are not in the picture at that 00:20:46.339 --> 00:20:49.660 point. If, and again, a lot of this is assuming. 00:20:50.329 --> 00:20:52.369 you've been able to make contact with friendly 00:20:52.369 --> 00:20:57.049 people to get your numbers up, um, have areas 00:20:57.049 --> 00:20:59.890 that you can raise them. If you've moved out 00:20:59.890 --> 00:21:02.190 of the city, you've gotten out of town and you 00:21:02.190 --> 00:21:08.150 have access to land. Yeah. Excuse me. I got my 00:21:08.150 --> 00:21:13.170 throat tonight. Yeah. I got my compound. Yes, 00:21:13.190 --> 00:21:19.880 you do. Yeah. So yeah that's the all of us are 00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:23.859 kind of not too bad off at this point yeah oh 00:21:23.859 --> 00:21:33.819 yeah yeah oh so fuck tofu no the problem is in 00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:36.259 an emp event i'm basically going to be the warlord 00:21:36.259 --> 00:21:42.440 of my area i'm going to be a menace i i hate 00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:44.799 for my neighbors to find that out but yes i will 00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:50.039 be a menace yeah Yeah, I'm not sure about my 00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:52.859 neighborhood. So many people have really good 00:21:52.859 --> 00:21:56.019 jobs, and then I'm at the bottom of the hill 00:21:56.019 --> 00:22:03.319 just looking up like the oblongs. So, you know, 00:22:03.420 --> 00:22:06.240 I'm the one with the guns and everybody on top 00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:11.220 of the hill I'm not so sure about. Yeah. So, 00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.539 water and sanitation. People are going to have 00:22:15.539 --> 00:22:19.200 to learn how to dig latrines real quick. Because 00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:23.579 that's a major issue. Disposing of bodies and 00:22:23.579 --> 00:22:26.920 whatnot is going to be another catastrophic hassle, 00:22:27.059 --> 00:22:32.460 especially in the cities. I honestly feel... 00:22:32.460 --> 00:22:35.259 What's that? I was going to say, unless you have 00:22:35.259 --> 00:22:39.559 a septic system that doesn't rely on electricity, 00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:44.140 you could be okay. At least with septic. Or if 00:22:44.140 --> 00:22:46.180 you set one up with a solar panel, if you have 00:22:46.180 --> 00:22:48.950 access to one. to run your, your stuff. Yeah, 00:22:48.990 --> 00:22:55.349 exactly. Yep. Um, I, I feel like if you were 00:22:55.349 --> 00:22:59.250 in a small enough city, you could set up an area 00:22:59.250 --> 00:23:03.230 like an old, uh, sports stadium as just like 00:23:03.230 --> 00:23:06.730 a body dump and just let the, the, the carrion, 00:23:06.869 --> 00:23:10.390 um, creatures take care of all of it. I wouldn't 00:23:10.390 --> 00:23:13.970 want to be anywhere near it because, Oh my God, 00:23:13.990 --> 00:23:22.359 that smell. But yeah, trying to develop some 00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:25.500 kind of an in -city dump for a lot of things 00:23:25.500 --> 00:23:31.200 would be probably useful. Transportation, I think 00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:34.619 most people would probably understand very quickly 00:23:34.619 --> 00:23:38.259 that short range is about the only thing you're 00:23:38.259 --> 00:23:42.660 getting. Most people can't walk more than a few 00:23:42.660 --> 00:23:46.440 miles nowadays, especially loaded down with a 00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:52.819 pack. Well, that's where the strongest will survive. 00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:57.240 Yeah. As long as I stay home, I'm okay. If I 00:23:57.240 --> 00:23:59.619 have to walk a long distance, I'll be one of 00:23:59.619 --> 00:24:04.880 those. I'm screwed. Yes. I played too hard in 00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:06.880 life. You need a rocket -powered wheelchair. 00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:12.480 What you need is a horse. Yes. As a man that 00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:16.200 grew up with horses, get a horse. Yes. Or in 00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:19.750 your case, maybe just a small donkey. A reversion 00:24:19.750 --> 00:24:24.529 to late 1800s transportation technology would 00:24:24.529 --> 00:24:28.130 happen, I think, rather quickly. And people... 00:24:28.130 --> 00:24:31.349 Go ahead. This is the problem. Then the Amish 00:24:31.349 --> 00:24:34.829 will run the country. Oh, Lord. Oh, yeah. And 00:24:34.829 --> 00:24:40.289 then it's basically going to be... What's that 00:24:40.289 --> 00:24:45.009 fucking show on Amazon with the cap and gowns? 00:24:46.289 --> 00:24:50.349 Religious society, they took over. The one blonde 00:24:50.349 --> 00:24:54.289 girl. Handmaid's Tale? Yes, yes. If the Amish 00:24:54.289 --> 00:24:55.730 run everything, it'll be basically Handmaid's 00:24:55.730 --> 00:25:02.230 Tale. That'll be horrifying. But Amish have mafia 00:25:02.230 --> 00:25:05.650 stuff, so it won't be too different. I don't... 00:25:05.650 --> 00:25:09.430 That TV show, The Amish Mafia, was totally made 00:25:09.430 --> 00:25:12.730 up. That's so stupid. Oh, God, it was horrible. 00:25:14.859 --> 00:25:17.619 Mafia guys was like a little person or something, 00:25:17.740 --> 00:25:19.839 so he was like freaking four foot tall. That 00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:22.240 was hilarious. I watched a few episodes because 00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:25.319 I just couldn't. You know, I had to throw that 00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:30.220 out there. You mentioned the Amish. Yeah. Honestly, 00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:32.059 if I got a leprechaun threatening me, I'm really 00:25:32.059 --> 00:25:36.660 not concerned. I don't care. You don't even have 00:25:36.660 --> 00:25:41.779 to waste a freedom seat on that fool. Nope. Oh, 00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:51.779 no. Oh, that's because I have a better mic. Again, 00:25:52.220 --> 00:25:54.380 we edit the volume and post, so not concerned. 00:25:54.559 --> 00:26:05.700 Yeah. Uh, so technology that, uh, people need 00:26:05.700 --> 00:26:09.099 to keep an eye on. Like I said, your everyday 00:26:09.099 --> 00:26:13.619 stuff, um, cell phones, computers, depending 00:26:13.619 --> 00:26:17.700 on the, on the collapse if it's grid down you're 00:26:17.700 --> 00:26:20.779 you're going to be more okay oh that reminds 00:26:20.779 --> 00:26:27.279 me the uh the figures for for the fall um i know 00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:30.200 i put it in here you have it somewhere in the 00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:35.700 document oh there it is okay deaths it dies yeah 00:26:35.700 --> 00:26:42.980 uh for the grid down it is estimated the restoration 00:26:42.980 --> 00:26:48.039 timeline This is the mortality rate estimates 00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:52.519 out to one year with a restoration timeline of 00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:56.500 several weeks to six months. The initial estimate 00:26:56.500 --> 00:27:00.079 is low with less than 5 % of the US population. 00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:07.039 Now, I feel like that's way off. I feel like 00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:10.839 that's way, way low because it's not taking into 00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:15.660 account the pure psychotic nature. that is the 00:27:15.660 --> 00:27:21.279 average walmart shopper oh yeah no all the care 00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:24.079 into the country well here's something else to 00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:26.980 think about too every year i thought it was a 00:27:26.980 --> 00:27:29.480 couple hundred thousand people in europe die 00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:31.859 from overheating just due to lack of air conditioning 00:27:31.859 --> 00:27:35.970 just due to being hot yeah so Imagine America 00:27:35.970 --> 00:27:37.410 where we're used to things like air conditioning 00:27:37.410 --> 00:27:39.369 and heat being readily available anywhere. If 00:27:39.369 --> 00:27:41.849 people go without that for six months to a year, 00:27:41.950 --> 00:27:44.670 there's many places in the country where you 00:27:44.670 --> 00:27:46.529 aren't going to be able to survive if you don't 00:27:46.529 --> 00:27:49.470 have other ways to heat your house. Well, that's 00:27:49.470 --> 00:27:52.789 why a lot of people didn't survive in those areas 00:27:52.789 --> 00:27:57.569 because there was nothing to provide an environmental 00:27:57.569 --> 00:28:02.509 condition that they could survive in. Yeah. And 00:28:02.509 --> 00:28:04.430 even down South where it gets really hot. I mean, 00:28:04.450 --> 00:28:07.150 there's a lot of people that if it gets too hot, 00:28:07.210 --> 00:28:09.569 they ain't making it. So I think 5 % is extremely 00:28:09.569 --> 00:28:14.690 conservative. That'd be 5 % due to, I think 5 00:28:14.690 --> 00:28:17.609 % would be, I think it's the bare minimum times 00:28:17.609 --> 00:28:20.869 that. Yeah. I think 5 % is the bare minimum, 00:28:20.970 --> 00:28:26.210 maybe even per month. I would, I would be willing 00:28:26.210 --> 00:28:31.359 to say 5 % per month. And I feel like that's 00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:33.420 all the people, not too much. All the people 00:28:33.420 --> 00:28:36.140 that are like need medicine that are like medically 00:28:36.140 --> 00:28:39.900 required in order to live. But outside of that, 00:28:40.019 --> 00:28:42.420 you're going to have all the people who will 00:28:42.420 --> 00:28:48.859 realize, oh, the rules no longer apply. The people 00:28:48.859 --> 00:28:52.299 who are only good because society wants them 00:28:52.299 --> 00:28:54.920 to be good and they need to be good because of 00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:57.940 society. I've said it myself. There are a lot 00:28:57.940 --> 00:29:00.519 of people who are. only alive and roaming around 00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:03.980 today because of my abject fear of prison sex. 00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:09.920 Take those restraints off, buddy. I might be 00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:15.700 a whole different person. I don't know. Yeah, 00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:19.640 it is kind of true, though, for a lot of people, 00:29:19.740 --> 00:29:22.119 especially like think about the amount of people 00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:24.440 that have extreme mental disorders that would 00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:27.759 be unmedicated. roaming free, no police force, 00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:34.359 no military, no nothing. Yeah. Could be a little 00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:39.579 scary. Yeah, well, I mean, for all the officers 00:29:39.579 --> 00:29:44.380 I knew, the running advice that you ever got 00:29:44.380 --> 00:29:48.640 from any of the veterans was that you help people 00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:51.400 on the police department as much as you can. 00:29:52.019 --> 00:29:56.829 Always. That's your job. However, If the shit 00:29:56.829 --> 00:30:02.589 hits the fan like that, all rules just went out 00:30:02.589 --> 00:30:05.009 the window. You take care of yourself, you take 00:30:05.009 --> 00:30:08.950 care of your family. And at that point, the only 00:30:08.950 --> 00:30:11.069 people that are going to be sticking around are 00:30:11.069 --> 00:30:14.710 either the bleeding hearts or the people that 00:30:14.710 --> 00:30:17.829 just don't have anywhere else to go. Because 00:30:17.829 --> 00:30:21.410 I always felt that, you know, I have my job and 00:30:21.410 --> 00:30:24.680 I'll do the best I can. Family comes first, and 00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:28.420 if things went that way in the District of Columbia, 00:30:28.579 --> 00:30:31.279 I'd be like, no, I'm not sticking around. Bye. 00:30:31.400 --> 00:30:35.920 Oh, yeah. So if you'll allow me, and I hope to 00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:39.259 hell this doesn't get the stream hit, I'd like 00:30:39.259 --> 00:30:45.000 to quote something here. I'm waiting. You see, 00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:49.839 their morals, their code, it's a bad joke, dropped 00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:52.640 at the first sign of trouble. They're only as 00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:55.599 good as the world allows them to be. When the 00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:59.220 chips are down, these civilized people, they'll 00:30:59.220 --> 00:31:05.140 eat each other. The Joker from The Dark Knight. 00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:09.819 Oh, yeah. Things like that could not ring more 00:31:09.819 --> 00:31:12.720 true in those types of situations. Oh, yeah. 00:31:13.799 --> 00:31:17.059 So, like I said, people will only be as good 00:31:17.059 --> 00:31:21.559 as society allows them to be. And when people 00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:26.400 are hungry, they will get bad real quick. Oh, 00:31:26.420 --> 00:31:30.759 so the amount of people, let me just put this 00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:33.400 out to you. The amount of people that have things 00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:36.900 that go on behind closed doors on a daily basis, 00:31:37.180 --> 00:31:41.079 you better watch your back when something like 00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:43.740 this was to happen. And we're talking months 00:31:43.740 --> 00:31:47.039 of no groceries, none of that. And you've got 00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:50.319 to fend for yourself. Yeah, you got to watch 00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:54.319 out. People are horrifying behind closed doors. 00:31:54.460 --> 00:31:59.819 I feel like it would be the purge. At some point, 00:31:59.920 --> 00:32:03.259 I think things would build up to a point. There 00:32:03.259 --> 00:32:06.920 would essentially be a purge level event. And 00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:15.660 then it would maybe calm down. Maybe. So. Yeah. 00:32:17.789 --> 00:32:20.289 It all depends on what kind of scenario it is. 00:32:20.349 --> 00:32:22.450 You know what I mean? Yeah. But definitely just 00:32:22.450 --> 00:32:25.130 no matter what, if you're in a major city, you 00:32:25.130 --> 00:32:27.789 don't want to stick around because even a power 00:32:27.789 --> 00:32:30.869 out situation, that will take three or four days. 00:32:30.869 --> 00:32:33.609 All of a sudden, now you're in the purge. 100%. 00:32:33.609 --> 00:32:37.589 There's no way around it. Yeah. It's the purge. 00:32:40.289 --> 00:32:44.490 So we mentioned about the exigent circumstances. 00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:50.700 Uh, the EMP attack figures are way more grim. 00:32:51.660 --> 00:32:57.819 Yeah. Um, the, what was it? I, I bumped my stuff 00:32:57.819 --> 00:33:01.960 off. I'm sorry. The restoration timeline is estimated 00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:06.000 18 months to multiple years. And that's because 00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:09.680 as we said, it takes a lot more to get everything, 00:33:09.900 --> 00:33:13.960 uh, handled the logistics, the, the sheer, um, 00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:20.920 scale of everything that has to happen. You would 00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:24.099 definitely have tribalism come back. That's for 00:33:24.099 --> 00:33:29.720 sure. Oh, a hundred percent. So the mortality 00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:35.619 estimates for the EMP event, 50 to 90 % of the 00:33:35.619 --> 00:33:43.059 U S population. And again, 18 months to several 00:33:43.059 --> 00:33:47.059 years. And yeah, I think that's a pretty accurate 00:33:47.059 --> 00:33:49.799 number just because of everything that we've 00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:52.740 talked about. You're not going to have access 00:33:52.740 --> 00:33:56.460 to fresh food, fresh water, sanitation. You're 00:33:56.460 --> 00:34:00.819 not going to have access to the social protection 00:34:00.819 --> 00:34:04.779 nets that are in place today. Emergency services, 00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:13.179 out the window. Social support. On the plus side. 00:34:13.739 --> 00:34:16.480 Anybody who's struggling financially will suddenly 00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:20.420 be thriving. Oh, God. Or at the very least, be 00:34:20.420 --> 00:34:23.239 on equal footing and potentially be better off. 00:34:23.340 --> 00:34:26.679 If somebody is struggling financially that just 00:34:26.679 --> 00:34:28.860 knows how to survive in that type of environment, 00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:33.199 they will go from bottom of the rung to top tier 00:34:33.199 --> 00:34:39.760 living very quickly. So never would have thought 00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:41.380 that the fall of society would be good for a 00:34:41.380 --> 00:34:45.190 lot of people. no it'll be good for a very very 00:34:45.190 --> 00:34:47.849 selective yeah all of our mortgages will go away 00:34:47.849 --> 00:34:53.389 yeah yeah exactly neither will taxes no more 00:34:53.389 --> 00:34:56.349 hey no more taxes i can get behind that you could 00:34:56.349 --> 00:34:59.110 stop auditing me every year that'd be amazing 00:34:59.110 --> 00:35:08.849 i'm so sick of audits yeah so yeah i i wanted 00:35:08.849 --> 00:35:11.309 to touch on the mortality issue before i got 00:35:11.309 --> 00:35:14.409 too far into that And I think all of this, mind 00:35:14.409 --> 00:35:16.070 you, is something people need to consider too. 00:35:16.130 --> 00:35:18.869 That is assuming, all of this is assuming that 00:35:18.869 --> 00:35:22.769 you can come back from an EMP. There is the potential 00:35:22.769 --> 00:35:28.010 that with how crazy this country is, it might 00:35:28.010 --> 00:35:30.269 be the case of there is no turning back. Once 00:35:30.269 --> 00:35:33.630 that switch is flipped, who knows what will happen 00:35:33.630 --> 00:35:35.210 to the rest of the world? Because even though 00:35:35.210 --> 00:35:38.809 we don't run the world, we are the cultural financial 00:35:38.809 --> 00:35:42.309 hub of everyone else. So it's a piece of, sure, 00:35:42.510 --> 00:35:44.989 maybe if the EMP only affected us and the rest 00:35:44.989 --> 00:35:50.170 of the world can continue, sure. But, man, that's 00:35:50.170 --> 00:35:51.809 going to have such a massive ripple effect that 00:35:51.809 --> 00:35:54.389 you don't know what's going to happen. The only 00:35:54.389 --> 00:35:57.110 other possible thing, which is something else 00:35:57.110 --> 00:35:59.050 I saw in another debate that I was watching a 00:35:59.050 --> 00:36:02.110 few weeks ago about this topic, was that the 00:36:02.110 --> 00:36:05.929 U .S. would be immediately invaded. No, that 00:36:05.929 --> 00:36:10.219 wouldn't happen. War game wise, yes, it very 00:36:10.219 --> 00:36:13.719 likely would. Because this whole discussion is 00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:16.619 assuming they're not invaded. Right, but they 00:36:16.619 --> 00:36:19.320 would still have to wait until a good portion 00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:22.719 of the country kills ourselves. Because as it 00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:26.599 stands right now, even if we lost power, I can't 00:36:26.599 --> 00:36:31.500 foresee the country getting invaded tomorrow. 00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:35.219 Like say the power went out today and next week 00:36:35.219 --> 00:36:37.900 they got... You know, whoever coming at us, because 00:36:37.900 --> 00:36:41.320 whatever happens here, I'm very sure happens 00:36:41.320 --> 00:36:44.699 there as well. Well, now hold on. That brings 00:36:44.699 --> 00:36:48.300 up a good point. A grid down scenario can be 00:36:48.300 --> 00:36:50.639 localized to just the U .S., maybe a little bit 00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:52.760 of Mexico, maybe a little bit of Canada, but 00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:56.400 it can be more controlled. An EMP can be severely 00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:59.059 focused depending on how high up the nuke hits. 00:36:59.619 --> 00:37:02.900 A small nuke, 300 kilometers over, I think it's 00:37:02.900 --> 00:37:07.179 central Kansas. hits the entire us and that's 00:37:07.179 --> 00:37:09.460 it again a little bit of mexico a little bit 00:37:09.460 --> 00:37:14.000 of canada but the rest of the world is fine hawaii 00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:18.780 and alaska are spared um but mainland us out 00:37:18.780 --> 00:37:22.000 of the picture so yeah it's entirely feasible 00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:26.139 for them to let the first few days of chaos flush 00:37:26.139 --> 00:37:30.800 out the the weakest and occupy the biggest resistance 00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:33.900 because All the people, all the preppers, the 00:37:33.900 --> 00:37:36.380 three percenters, all the people that have done 00:37:36.380 --> 00:37:38.519 survival stuff their whole life are suddenly 00:37:38.519 --> 00:37:40.239 going to be more occupied with trying to just 00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:42.440 stay alive than with trying to defend the country. 00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:46.000 Not only that, but you have, let's just say, 00:37:46.019 --> 00:37:48.840 100 million Americans that are still armed. If 00:37:48.840 --> 00:37:50.699 there's no organization, there's no military 00:37:50.699 --> 00:37:54.139 they could beat. Well, also, there's military 00:37:54.139 --> 00:37:56.340 coming through, especially with things like air 00:37:56.340 --> 00:38:01.059 support and naval support. No. So that whole 00:38:01.059 --> 00:38:03.880 discussion, it completely changes it. There's 00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:07.739 no communications either. For us. But for them, 00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:09.760 there would be. For them, there would be. But 00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:16.400 we wouldn't know until we see them going through 00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:20.179 our streets. Which at that point, if we can see 00:38:20.179 --> 00:38:25.619 them, that's a problem for them. True. But it's 00:38:25.619 --> 00:38:29.619 just a factor of this is assuming. that the EMP 00:38:29.619 --> 00:38:32.159 doesn't happen as part of a war effort. Right. 00:38:32.260 --> 00:38:36.559 Which it is. It is highly looked at as a first 00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:40.139 strike weapon. The countries that can do it, 00:38:40.159 --> 00:38:43.400 you know, Russia, China, North Korea, several 00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:46.639 in the Middle East with support. They all consider 00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:50.780 it an extremely viable first strike option. Yeah. 00:38:52.179 --> 00:38:59.070 Though. The retaliation. And something like that. 00:39:01.190 --> 00:39:05.670 Yeah, I don't. I don't personally know whether 00:39:05.670 --> 00:39:11.530 our first and second strike systems can still 00:39:11.530 --> 00:39:19.090 respond with an EMP. I think the physical assets 00:39:19.090 --> 00:39:22.329 are still viable, but I don't know that they 00:39:22.329 --> 00:39:25.090 would still be operational after an EMP attack. 00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:28.119 That depends on which piece of equipment you're 00:39:28.119 --> 00:39:31.519 talking about, though. Well, like the Minuteman 00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:33.460 missiles, I think, would still be physically 00:39:33.460 --> 00:39:36.280 functional, but the control systems to launch 00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:37.739 them, get them out of the silos and whatnot, 00:39:38.019 --> 00:39:41.400 I don't think they would function. Our submarines 00:39:41.400 --> 00:39:47.960 would be okay, but any ship docked, I'm trying 00:39:47.960 --> 00:39:50.820 to remember. Yeah, but for an EMP blast, how 00:39:50.820 --> 00:39:56.750 far underground can that go? That's more dependent 00:39:56.750 --> 00:39:58.789 on the wires and the wiring of the structure. 00:39:59.530 --> 00:40:02.070 Right. Because that's going across the wires. 00:40:02.769 --> 00:40:06.349 Right. Because I'm just trying to think if we've 00:40:06.349 --> 00:40:09.949 already gone through a solar storm that fried 00:40:09.949 --> 00:40:13.630 a bunch of stuff back in the late 1800s, early 00:40:13.630 --> 00:40:18.230 1900s. From a military standpoint, I can't imagine. 00:40:18.530 --> 00:40:20.789 I mean, I know there's some idiots out there, 00:40:20.849 --> 00:40:24.289 but from a setup of that, I can't imagine there's 00:40:24.289 --> 00:40:27.380 like... no protections on our military equipment 00:40:27.380 --> 00:40:31.420 for something like that. Yeah. So as far as protection 00:40:31.420 --> 00:40:34.219 goes, we, we can, we can bump ahead into some 00:40:34.219 --> 00:40:38.599 of that. Um, did I put the numbers in here or 00:40:38.599 --> 00:40:40.719 not? I'm going to shoot from the hip on this 00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:45.800 one. Uh, less than 20 % of our grid has been 00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:52.820 hardened as of 2023 after repeated, uh, functions 00:40:52.820 --> 00:40:57.110 and hearings. with all the entities in the government 00:40:57.110 --> 00:41:02.449 an executive order in 2019 had a commission get 00:41:02.449 --> 00:41:04.809 together and come up with a two -page recommendation 00:41:04.809 --> 00:41:10.630 to look into hardening our grid yeah i love it 00:41:10.630 --> 00:41:14.929 look into as of 2023 less than 20 percent of 00:41:14.929 --> 00:41:18.710 the assets on our grid are hardened against emp 00:41:18.710 --> 00:41:27.440 so we're fucked yeah that's honestly less than 00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:29.300 20 that's better than expected i expect it to 00:41:29.300 --> 00:41:33.599 be exactly zero so yeah at least something yeah 00:41:33.599 --> 00:41:36.639 and i i figure it's probably going to be all 00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:39.980 the most critical stuff like the government bullshit 00:41:39.980 --> 00:41:43.659 hospitals hopefully your emergency services i 00:41:43.659 --> 00:41:47.280 would hope um possibly some national defense 00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:50.960 stuff With our luck, it's probably going to be 00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:52.980 the fucking data centers so that we can still 00:41:52.980 --> 00:41:58.440 ask Grok what it takes to make pasta not stick 00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:01.679 to the fridge. Who knows? Oh, you mean the same 00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:04.960 places that are destroying the memory chip market? 00:42:05.460 --> 00:42:09.760 Oh, God. Yeah, don't try to buy a computer right 00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:16.360 now. Or build one. $3 ,000 for like a mid -level. 00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:29.070 Right? So where do we go? I don't know, sir. 00:42:29.789 --> 00:42:32.250 Where did we go? I thought I was still here. 00:42:34.530 --> 00:42:37.909 So as far as preparedness goes, we talked quite 00:42:37.909 --> 00:42:41.070 a bit about preparedness in our Teotihuacan episode. 00:42:41.130 --> 00:42:43.949 And I encourage people to go back and listen 00:42:43.949 --> 00:42:46.889 to that one because there was a lot of really 00:42:46.889 --> 00:42:51.440 good information in it. If you have some time, 00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:55.000 go out online. You can find a lot of free PDFs 00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:59.039 that you can download and get yourself some information 00:42:59.039 --> 00:43:03.460 together. Get some basics put together. See what 00:43:03.460 --> 00:43:06.539 it takes to make a short -term and a long -term 00:43:06.539 --> 00:43:09.480 survival kit. It doesn't have to be very big. 00:43:09.539 --> 00:43:13.960 You can get a small tote and just get a few days, 00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:17.510 a couple weeks worth. to start with, of non -perishable 00:43:17.510 --> 00:43:20.010 food. You can go to the store and just find the 00:43:20.010 --> 00:43:22.150 stuff on clearance that's in cans and whatnot. 00:43:23.289 --> 00:43:26.349 Make a plan. It doesn't have to be a super in 00:43:26.349 --> 00:43:28.889 -depth one, but a little bit of a plan goes a 00:43:28.889 --> 00:43:36.110 long way. The way to look at it is all you have 00:43:36.110 --> 00:43:37.829 to do is outlive your neighbors. I hate to say 00:43:37.829 --> 00:43:40.469 it, but if you make a plan that's better than 00:43:40.469 --> 00:43:42.570 the people around you, in many cases, those people 00:43:42.570 --> 00:43:45.500 have no plan. Yeah. It's like when you're trying 00:43:45.500 --> 00:43:47.059 to, when you and a friend are running from a 00:43:47.059 --> 00:43:49.320 tiger, you don't have to be faster than the tiger. 00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:50.519 You just have to be faster than your friend. 00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:56.760 Yeah. I don't think we're friends anymore. When 00:43:56.760 --> 00:44:01.260 you're, when your neighbors fail, you have not 00:44:01.260 --> 00:44:03.739 just them, but you have their supplies, whatever 00:44:03.739 --> 00:44:09.000 they've got, you know? And I know I bring up 00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:12.190 the whole. eating people thing a lot just kind 00:44:12.190 --> 00:44:15.289 of as a joke but i don't think it's a joke buddy 00:44:15.289 --> 00:44:18.449 you bring it up enough to have a little concern 00:44:18.449 --> 00:44:22.510 right you call my house and you're bringing more 00:44:22.510 --> 00:44:28.429 than s &p i'm gonna be a little worried we don't 00:44:28.429 --> 00:44:31.670 need the chef but we'll eat the customers yes 00:44:31.670 --> 00:44:36.469 that's right no um like i said it's a very very 00:44:36.469 --> 00:44:39.090 stark line that will have to be crossed before 00:44:39.690 --> 00:44:43.449 I get to that point, but I'm not going to be 00:44:43.449 --> 00:44:51.469 against it if it means survival. So. I don't 00:44:51.469 --> 00:44:53.030 know if I could do catapults. I don't know. I 00:44:53.030 --> 00:44:57.289 really think that's a. I'd rather be stuck doing 00:44:57.289 --> 00:45:01.130 deer hunting for. That's the other thing. All 00:45:01.130 --> 00:45:04.610 the game animals will be hunted to extinction 00:45:04.610 --> 00:45:08.130 very quickly because a lot of people are going 00:45:08.130 --> 00:45:11.320 to have that plan. They're going to go to places 00:45:11.320 --> 00:45:15.099 that they can hunt, they can forage. All of that 00:45:15.099 --> 00:45:20.280 stuff is going to be done very quickly. Oh, yeah, 00:45:20.300 --> 00:45:21.719 because you're also going to have idiots out 00:45:21.719 --> 00:45:22.900 there who are going to be like, I've got to hunt 00:45:22.900 --> 00:45:25.559 everything every day. It doesn't matter how much 00:45:25.559 --> 00:45:27.519 I'm bringing in, not thinking about the fact 00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:30.019 that the meat's going to spoil, or they're not 00:45:30.019 --> 00:45:32.260 going to take the time to prep the animal to 00:45:32.260 --> 00:45:35.969 possibly, let me see, I need to salt it. Keep 00:45:35.969 --> 00:45:38.969 the meat going so once it does get to a point 00:45:38.969 --> 00:45:41.530 where it's going to spoil, oh, let me preserve 00:45:41.530 --> 00:45:45.170 said animal. They're not going to do stuff like 00:45:45.170 --> 00:45:46.710 that. Instead, you're going to have morons go 00:45:46.710 --> 00:45:48.570 out there, like you said. They're going to hunt 00:45:48.570 --> 00:45:52.309 until there's nothing left. Oh, does meat taste 00:45:52.309 --> 00:45:55.570 funny? Let me throw it away. Just like, oh, you 00:45:55.570 --> 00:45:58.510 know, what 90 % of the Americans do right now. 00:45:58.690 --> 00:46:01.110 Oh, it doesn't taste very good. Obviously, it 00:46:01.110 --> 00:46:04.719 must be bad. Yeah, our throwaway society mentality 00:46:04.719 --> 00:46:06.699 is going to bite a lot of people in the ass very 00:46:06.699 --> 00:46:10.260 quickly. But wait a minute. There's another alternative 00:46:10.260 --> 00:46:13.260 here. What's that? No one's going to go to the 00:46:13.260 --> 00:46:17.260 zoo for food. Oh, yeah, they will. Yeah, they 00:46:17.260 --> 00:46:22.739 will. Oh, bushmeat. There we go. Yeah. So Venezuela, 00:46:22.940 --> 00:46:24.760 when they were hit with all the food shortages 00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:27.280 not too long ago, the zoo became a meat market 00:46:27.280 --> 00:46:30.079 very quickly. That was actually one of the first 00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:36.909 places they went to. Those poor animals. So, 00:46:37.050 --> 00:46:39.730 on the plus side, yeah, you get to taste some 00:46:39.730 --> 00:46:45.250 exotic things. Giraffe, tiger, lion. That's what 00:46:45.250 --> 00:46:49.190 makes it a fun experience. Find out what a silverback 00:46:49.190 --> 00:46:51.349 tastes like. If you can fight the gorilla, yeah. 00:46:52.670 --> 00:46:56.230 I have a gun. I don't have to fight him. Same 00:46:56.230 --> 00:46:58.489 thing like I'll go fishing at the aquarium. I 00:46:58.489 --> 00:47:04.960 don't give a shit. Convince your friend to eat 00:47:04.960 --> 00:47:10.639 the lionfish. I don't think that'd be my friend. 00:47:12.360 --> 00:47:23.039 I guess the lionfish are actually edible once 00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:24.920 you get their spines off of them because the 00:47:24.920 --> 00:47:27.440 spines are where the toxin is held. There's a 00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:30.440 guy on YouTube that goes around and hunts them. 00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:34.860 And then he preps them and feeds the local population 00:47:34.860 --> 00:47:38.380 like homeless people. It's a really cool thing 00:47:38.380 --> 00:47:41.440 he does. So he gets rid of invasive species and 00:47:41.440 --> 00:47:45.820 he feeds people. That's cool. Man, you have so 00:47:45.820 --> 00:47:50.400 many gifts that they're really ragging on you. 00:47:50.539 --> 00:47:54.579 It is what it is. It's fine. I feel like that's 00:47:54.579 --> 00:47:58.400 also like. A lot of risk going after a fish like 00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:01.800 that. No, because they're docile out in the water. 00:48:02.340 --> 00:48:03.920 Yeah, but if you screw up, you kill a homeless 00:48:03.920 --> 00:48:08.500 man. Well, you know, that's just an extra meal. 00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:14.099 I mean, that is fair. You know, nature giveth, 00:48:14.099 --> 00:48:18.420 nature taketh away. Now you're going to feed 00:48:18.420 --> 00:48:22.139 more homeless for a while. Meat's back on the 00:48:22.139 --> 00:48:30.039 menu, boys. Oh. God, this episode took a turn, 00:48:30.119 --> 00:48:35.179 didn't it? Well, if you can't laugh about it, 00:48:35.239 --> 00:48:38.440 you're never going to learn. If you don't manage 00:48:38.440 --> 00:48:41.179 to mention cannibalism at least four times in 00:48:41.179 --> 00:48:43.300 an end -of -the -world discussion, you're not 00:48:43.300 --> 00:48:46.579 you. You're not doing it right. Yeah, you're 00:48:46.579 --> 00:48:52.139 not taking all angles into account. Right. So. 00:48:56.500 --> 00:49:00.119 The continuity of government plans, those are 00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:03.539 a thing that I'm not going to go into them. If 00:49:03.539 --> 00:49:05.280 you guys want to look into them, you can just 00:49:05.280 --> 00:49:09.960 look up continuity of government plan. I do encourage 00:49:09.960 --> 00:49:13.480 you to look up ConPlan 8888. We might end up 00:49:13.480 --> 00:49:17.639 doing a whole episode on just that because that 00:49:17.639 --> 00:49:20.480 right there is actually the government's plan. 00:49:21.070 --> 00:49:24.889 on how to deal with a zombie apocalypse. It is 00:49:24.889 --> 00:49:28.650 a declassified report that outlines the continuity 00:49:28.650 --> 00:49:33.429 of government plan for a zombie apocalypse, which 00:49:33.429 --> 00:49:35.130 I think is hilarious that they actually have 00:49:35.130 --> 00:49:39.070 that. But it was a war game that was done, and 00:49:39.070 --> 00:49:41.849 they release all the details because it's nonsense 00:49:41.849 --> 00:49:46.110 that it's a zombie apocalypse. But realistically, 00:49:46.250 --> 00:49:48.710 if you can prepare for a zombie apocalypse, you 00:49:48.710 --> 00:49:52.809 literally cover all the angles. If it works for 00:49:52.809 --> 00:49:55.110 that, it works for most anything. At least there's 00:49:55.110 --> 00:49:59.269 a lot of crossover. Yes. But also, I think with 00:49:59.269 --> 00:50:02.590 the way an EMP would happen to, even if the government 00:50:02.590 --> 00:50:06.429 were to quote unquote survive, they would have 00:50:06.429 --> 00:50:09.949 almost no power, almost no military. So it would 00:50:09.949 --> 00:50:12.429 be the case of, yeah, it survives, but doesn't 00:50:12.429 --> 00:50:15.570 fucking do anything. Doesn't mean anything. 99 00:50:15.570 --> 00:50:18.449 .99 % of the people that are still alive, it 00:50:18.449 --> 00:50:22.369 would be a myth. There's a show that was on TV 00:50:22.369 --> 00:50:28.409 for a while called Evolution. It involved essentially 00:50:28.409 --> 00:50:32.949 a nationwide lack of power. No electronic devices 00:50:32.949 --> 00:50:36.710 worked. It was technology controlled, but still 00:50:36.710 --> 00:50:40.989 same kind of premise. It only lasted a season. 00:50:41.090 --> 00:50:43.929 The ending was rushed and sucked, but the majority 00:50:43.929 --> 00:50:45.889 of the show overwise, maybe it was a couple of 00:50:45.889 --> 00:50:48.760 seasons. The majority of the show. was really 00:50:48.760 --> 00:50:53.039 fucking good and it showed a lot of what would 00:50:53.039 --> 00:50:56.639 happen in these types of scenarios the country 00:50:56.639 --> 00:51:02.659 split up and re congregated into smaller miniature 00:51:02.659 --> 00:51:07.639 countries within the whole country yeah um not 00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:09.619 to mention like the parts where they showed like 00:51:09.619 --> 00:51:12.400 gunfights breaking out all over the place and 00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:15.719 it's like Yeah, that about makes sense. All the 00:51:15.719 --> 00:51:17.980 Americans going bananas because they have guns 00:51:17.980 --> 00:51:22.619 and now there's nothing holding them back. Yeah, 00:51:22.699 --> 00:51:24.579 again, that's the kind of shit you would deal 00:51:24.579 --> 00:51:28.960 with in the first probably six months. I think 00:51:28.960 --> 00:51:31.400 you'd have the majority of the major violence. 00:51:34.099 --> 00:51:40.179 All I'm hearing is get your own guns and make 00:51:40.179 --> 00:51:42.909 your own gang. That's all I'm hearing. basically 00:51:42.909 --> 00:51:46.329 yeah uh gang mentality warlord mentality would 00:51:46.329 --> 00:51:48.769 become a major thing and probably a major way 00:51:48.769 --> 00:51:53.110 of survival to be honest that's my plan yeah 00:51:53.110 --> 00:51:56.710 strength in numbers that's the name of the game 00:51:56.710 --> 00:52:03.409 at that point yeah so uh knowledge i think people 00:52:03.409 --> 00:52:06.269 who know what the hell they're doing would be 00:52:06.269 --> 00:52:09.230 protective assets if you're somebody who's got 00:52:09.230 --> 00:52:12.670 a lot of like blue collar skills maybe some medical 00:52:12.670 --> 00:52:17.590 training, even advanced medical training, and 00:52:17.590 --> 00:52:19.489 you know how to do it without modern technology. 00:52:21.429 --> 00:52:23.530 Also, if you have access to, like you were talking 00:52:23.530 --> 00:52:26.090 about, all the printed reference material, and 00:52:26.090 --> 00:52:28.889 you're smart enough maybe to understand what 00:52:28.889 --> 00:52:32.869 it is, what it says, how it has to be done, and 00:52:32.869 --> 00:52:36.010 the things you need to make the stuff, somebody 00:52:36.010 --> 00:52:40.170 who's like a biochem student, essentially, would 00:52:40.170 --> 00:52:43.050 literally be, a god among men if they could make 00:52:43.050 --> 00:52:46.250 antibiotics. Put it this way. If some of your 00:52:46.250 --> 00:52:49.530 life experiences are you're a barista, you're 00:52:49.530 --> 00:52:54.829 fucked. As long as you have done something to 00:52:54.829 --> 00:52:57.010 where that's an actual marketable skill or some 00:52:57.010 --> 00:52:58.230 sort of blue collar work like you're talking 00:52:58.230 --> 00:53:00.010 about, you can at least do something and contribute. 00:53:00.789 --> 00:53:03.690 God help you if the best thing you've ever been 00:53:03.690 --> 00:53:07.869 is like a journalist. Like, sorry, you're done. 00:53:08.590 --> 00:53:13.090 No. No. You can't even throw shade on somebody 00:53:13.090 --> 00:53:15.530 that's worked at McDonald's because at least 00:53:15.530 --> 00:53:18.530 they know how to cook food to some degree. If 00:53:18.530 --> 00:53:22.550 all you've done is yell at people to make your 00:53:22.550 --> 00:53:28.869 money, you're done. You are dinner. Thank God 00:53:28.869 --> 00:53:31.849 that means all those influencers in Los Angeles 00:53:31.849 --> 00:53:37.769 might actually go. Thank God. Without the Kardashians, 00:53:37.769 --> 00:53:43.449 whatever will we do? uh you know that that brings 00:53:43.449 --> 00:53:47.269 up a book the giver um did you guys ever read 00:53:47.269 --> 00:53:51.150 that one nope yes yeah i i knew you did gibbles 00:53:51.150 --> 00:53:53.989 i i didn't i wasn't sure if gibbs ever had when 00:53:53.989 --> 00:53:56.969 we were in school we were required to read the 00:53:56.969 --> 00:54:00.269 giver and it was something that talked about 00:54:00.269 --> 00:54:03.550 a society that didn't have a lot of you know 00:54:03.550 --> 00:54:06.269 technology i think they eventually did or had 00:54:06.269 --> 00:54:11.559 access to it or something but uh There were some 00:54:11.559 --> 00:54:14.420 people who were designated to live a life that 00:54:14.420 --> 00:54:20.440 was essentially like breeding stock. Yeah, pretty 00:54:20.440 --> 00:54:23.179 much. So it's like the Mad Max universe thing. 00:54:23.480 --> 00:54:28.679 Kind of, yeah. What worries me is that there 00:54:28.679 --> 00:54:31.380 are so many low IQ people out there running around 00:54:31.380 --> 00:54:34.719 that are having so many kids right now. I wonder 00:54:34.719 --> 00:54:37.739 if they would institute some kind of you must 00:54:37.739 --> 00:54:41.630 be this smart to breed policy. No, because if 00:54:41.630 --> 00:54:44.849 society collapses, you always need cannon fodder. 00:54:45.489 --> 00:54:47.309 If anything, it would be the opposite. You're 00:54:47.309 --> 00:54:48.449 not wrong. We need people to work the fields. 00:54:48.530 --> 00:54:51.190 We need people to grow crops. It would be the 00:54:51.190 --> 00:54:53.489 exact opposite. They'd be looking at people weird 00:54:53.489 --> 00:54:55.530 being like, why don't you have a bunch of kids? 00:54:56.269 --> 00:55:01.090 Yeah. Okay. Yeah, you're right. Eugenics taking 00:55:01.090 --> 00:55:06.349 the leads. Yeah. Because, again, if you're in 00:55:06.349 --> 00:55:08.429 that scenario where there's 80 to 90 % mortality 00:55:08.429 --> 00:55:10.949 rate. And you're in that rebuilding process, 00:55:11.090 --> 00:55:12.789 especially, you know, once you've gotten through 00:55:12.789 --> 00:55:15.070 that, it's a number six month phase. You need 00:55:15.070 --> 00:55:17.769 people. It's that simple. Yep. At the end of 00:55:17.769 --> 00:55:22.610 the day. Yeah. But I would agree. Definitely 00:55:22.610 --> 00:55:26.329 need only 82 IQ to do it. Yeah. It would be the 00:55:26.329 --> 00:55:29.469 people that are below that. That would be the 00:55:29.469 --> 00:55:31.670 concerning thing. Yeah. The people that aren't 00:55:31.670 --> 00:55:34.030 useful enough to do anything. That would become 00:55:34.030 --> 00:55:38.610 an issue. Yep. Those are the ones that will become 00:55:38.610 --> 00:55:44.909 tasty. But for the people that are smart enough 00:55:44.909 --> 00:55:47.949 to be able to offer a lot, they will have options. 00:55:48.570 --> 00:55:50.710 Not a lot of them, but there will be options. 00:55:52.050 --> 00:55:59.170 Yeah. Yeah, it's a weird world that we live in. 00:56:03.179 --> 00:56:05.579 To be fair, I think civilization's always been 00:56:05.579 --> 00:56:08.159 weird. It's just now you're able to have access 00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:10.119 to all this information, know exactly how weird 00:56:10.119 --> 00:56:18.300 it is. Oh, yeah. You know. Because for so long, 00:56:18.340 --> 00:56:21.679 it was, you know, things couldn't just happen 00:56:21.679 --> 00:56:25.320 to turn off everything. Yeah. That's something 00:56:25.320 --> 00:56:29.730 that's, you know. That's a mindset that people 00:56:29.730 --> 00:56:32.630 have only gotten used to over the last few years. 00:56:32.690 --> 00:56:36.969 Well, not few, but few decades, we'll say. Always 00:56:36.969 --> 00:56:41.409 -on mentality. And it really started, I think, 00:56:41.409 --> 00:56:44.389 with the introduction of broadband internet because 00:56:44.389 --> 00:56:47.550 it was always -on. Back then, we had the dial 00:56:47.550 --> 00:56:51.190 -up and that god -awful noise that will never 00:56:51.190 --> 00:56:58.739 leave my brain. No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, at some 00:56:58.739 --> 00:57:00.500 point you had to turn it off because somebody 00:57:00.500 --> 00:57:05.559 had to use the phone. Yeah. Get off the phone. 00:57:05.639 --> 00:57:07.500 Get off the internet. I need to make a call. 00:57:08.900 --> 00:57:11.260 Don't too late now. You already knocked me off 00:57:11.260 --> 00:57:15.739 the call. Oh, yeah. Those were the days. All 00:57:15.739 --> 00:57:17.420 of a sudden you hear somebody pick up the phone 00:57:17.420 --> 00:57:22.219 through the modem. You knew immediately. Well, 00:57:22.420 --> 00:57:26.460 there goes that download. Oh, at like 98%, you 00:57:26.460 --> 00:57:29.980 spent three days trying to download that BMP3. 00:57:36.219 --> 00:57:41.579 Don't miss those days. Right? No. I remember 00:57:41.579 --> 00:57:45.380 my LimeWire days. We all remember our LimeWire 00:57:45.380 --> 00:57:50.190 days. Also, rip to the two or three PCs that 00:57:50.190 --> 00:57:52.349 I absolutely fucking bricked with live wire. 00:57:53.130 --> 00:58:02.309 Serve me well. Serve me well. Yeah. The family 00:58:02.309 --> 00:58:06.849 computer that got all the porn pop -ups. Oh, 00:58:06.849 --> 00:58:09.449 yeah. Oh, I don't know how those got on there. 00:58:10.969 --> 00:58:14.929 I wish I knew how it did it. but one of them 00:58:14.929 --> 00:58:17.929 that I downloaded, it was supposed to be, like, 00:58:18.150 --> 00:58:20.750 judge me all you want, but it was supposed to 00:58:20.750 --> 00:58:22.670 be, like, a Nickelback, like, best of whatever 00:58:22.670 --> 00:58:26.170 thing. Okay. And I downloaded it, and I clicked 00:58:26.170 --> 00:58:28.969 play, and immediately all I heard on my computer 00:58:28.969 --> 00:58:32.670 was, and then done. I think it somehow kernel 00:58:32.670 --> 00:58:34.550 changed the overclock or something on the CPU. 00:58:34.610 --> 00:58:36.650 I don't know how, because I could never recover 00:58:36.650 --> 00:58:40.130 anything from that computer. It was within a 00:58:40.130 --> 00:58:42.650 matter of, like, seconds. So did it slide all 00:58:42.650 --> 00:58:45.429 the right to the right? Yeah. Now I know who 00:58:45.429 --> 00:58:51.429 made it. Wow. Yes. I worked at circuit city and 00:58:51.429 --> 00:58:56.510 yeah, I saw a PC that was so full of porn and 00:58:56.510 --> 00:59:00.150 just malware and everything. And the mom standing 00:59:00.150 --> 00:59:02.829 there going, can you do something about my computer? 00:59:03.010 --> 00:59:04.809 And I'm like, yeah, we'll take a look at it next 00:59:04.809 --> 00:59:06.809 day. They come back after I call them the, you 00:59:06.809 --> 00:59:09.269 know, please come back and everything. The son 00:59:09.269 --> 00:59:12.050 standing there as I'm going, ma 'am, Do you know 00:59:12.050 --> 00:59:14.889 what your son's been doing? I hate to be this 00:59:14.889 --> 00:59:20.469 guy, but... Oh, no. Have you used this program? 00:59:20.690 --> 00:59:23.929 No. Who else has access to this computer? My 00:59:23.929 --> 00:59:26.869 son. You might want to have a conversation with 00:59:26.869 --> 00:59:33.989 your boy. Uh -huh. Oh, yeah. Oh, those were the 00:59:33.989 --> 00:59:38.110 days. Yeah. He was very well educated on what, 00:59:38.190 --> 00:59:40.809 you know... What videos were out there? Let me 00:59:40.809 --> 00:59:49.210 tell you. Oh, no. A man of culture, huh?

Newgrounds used to 01:00:36.619 --> 01:00:40.900 be kind of weird like that a long time ago. God, 01:00:41.460 --> 01:00:45.980 Newgrounds and all their porn games. Right. All 01:00:45.980 --> 01:00:50.059 you had to do was say, yeah, I'm 18. Sure. Back 01:00:50.059 --> 01:00:53.400 then when you were young and, you know, it was 01:00:53.400 --> 01:00:55.500 just about trying to find a new way to get a 01:00:55.500 --> 01:01:01.559 nut. That's all it was. There was no safe word 01:01:01.559 --> 01:01:06.230 back then. It was all unkempt, untamed wilderness. 01:01:08.110 --> 01:01:12.090 Yeah. If you wanted to find it, it was out there. 01:01:12.369 --> 01:01:15.469 It just took a bit of searching. Yeah, because 01:01:15.469 --> 01:01:17.590 the government and the ISPs didn't really crack 01:01:17.590 --> 01:01:21.130 down on anything at that point. Oh, no. That's 01:01:21.130 --> 01:01:22.829 why you could download everything on Napster 01:01:22.829 --> 01:01:27.329 all week long and not worry about it. Right. 01:01:29.389 --> 01:01:34.849 Until Lars from Metallica got pissy. Lars being 01:01:34.849 --> 01:01:39.730 a bitch, that fucked everyone. Oh, my God. Amazing 01:01:39.730 --> 01:01:44.050 how one guy from a famous rock band can screw 01:01:44.050 --> 01:01:54.170 it up for everybody. Oh, yeah. The good old days. 01:01:57.610 --> 01:01:59.969 Which brings up another point, kids. Don't do 01:01:59.969 --> 01:02:08.010 crack. I'm not sure where we went with that one, 01:02:08.050 --> 01:02:13.170 but okay. You're not wrong. Just a good thing. 01:02:13.469 --> 01:02:19.510 No, this one has a typical segue into left field, 01:02:19.610 --> 01:02:24.570 like we're good at. Right? No way. That's like 01:02:24.570 --> 01:02:27.900 being on a... you know beach somewhere and the 01:02:27.900 --> 01:02:32.219 guy's like you know you want weed no how about 01:02:32.219 --> 01:02:36.860 some uh lsd no how about some heroin holy crap 01:02:36.860 --> 01:02:41.860 what kind of beaches do you go to apparently 01:02:41.860 --> 01:02:48.659 the fun kind and if you don't want that oh we 01:02:48.659 --> 01:02:50.940 got girls that we can put on the jet ski with 01:02:50.940 --> 01:02:53.420 you so you can do all sorts of stuff no i'm good 01:02:53.420 --> 01:03:00.690 i swear to god The hell are you? Well, there 01:03:00.690 --> 01:03:02.969 is a side of your life that we apparently don't 01:03:02.969 --> 01:03:06.550 know about. Jesus Christ. Oh, where is this? 01:03:07.070 --> 01:03:10.349 This is going down to the Bahamas, man. You got 01:03:10.349 --> 01:03:16.250 to sneak onto some beaches. I must jet ski. Yes. 01:03:17.730 --> 01:03:22.150 Yeah. When I was much younger, I went to NASA 01:03:22.150 --> 01:03:28.150 and I don't know which place has the. What is 01:03:28.150 --> 01:03:31.429 that? Atlantis Beach Resort or wherever it is. 01:03:32.849 --> 01:03:35.610 And the way it's supposed to be is the beaches 01:03:35.610 --> 01:03:39.590 are all public. But getting to the beach ends 01:03:39.590 --> 01:03:43.110 up being a lot of private property. So you have 01:03:43.110 --> 01:03:46.170 to find a way to get past the private property 01:03:46.170 --> 01:03:51.489 to get to the public beaches. Gotcha. Yeah. It 01:03:51.489 --> 01:03:54.389 felt like I was doing an ocean loving thing just 01:03:54.389 --> 01:03:58.739 to get to the beach. It was hilarious. Nice. 01:03:58.800 --> 01:04:03.059 You know, that brings up a topic related point. 01:04:04.119 --> 01:04:08.000 The exodus off the country mainland to things 01:04:08.000 --> 01:04:11.179 like private islands, larger private ships, private 01:04:11.179 --> 01:04:17.019 boats, whatnot. What kind of viability do you 01:04:17.019 --> 01:04:20.139 think that's going to hold? I mean, I think we 01:04:20.139 --> 01:04:23.539 all know that there's a certain island. That 01:04:23.539 --> 01:04:25.539 had a previous owner named Jeffrey that's currently 01:04:25.539 --> 01:04:28.760 available. Or Jeff's Island. That's available. 01:04:29.340 --> 01:04:33.679 No one's there now. We can take over that. Right. 01:04:34.179 --> 01:04:37.159 Nobody wants to be there anymore. You say no 01:04:37.159 --> 01:04:40.239 one's there, but there's been some drone video 01:04:40.239 --> 01:04:42.320 that showed a guy that looked an awful lot like 01:04:42.320 --> 01:04:46.840 him still there. How has nobody just gone onto 01:04:46.840 --> 01:04:50.699 that island at this point? It's got a little 01:04:50.699 --> 01:04:56.690 blockade around it. Yeah. They're probably keeping 01:04:56.690 --> 01:05:00.429 it the way it is for evidence. Probably for evidentially. 01:05:01.010 --> 01:05:05.030 Evidence. It's our politicians protecting them. 01:05:05.030 --> 01:05:07.730 I forgot about that. That's why the list hasn't 01:05:07.730 --> 01:05:14.849 come out. Most of them are on it. When you had 01:05:14.849 --> 01:05:18.309 President Biden sitting there sniffing little 01:05:18.309 --> 01:05:23.909 girls' hair. And then old Trump talking about 01:05:23.909 --> 01:05:26.329 grabbing my woman by her, you know, you know 01:05:26.329 --> 01:05:29.329 what? Yeah. You know, all our partitions have 01:05:29.329 --> 01:05:34.349 issues. That's one thing. The fall of society 01:05:34.349 --> 01:05:39.650 would be a good thing for all those people that 01:05:39.650 --> 01:05:43.429 are on those lists. Anybody that knows anything 01:05:43.429 --> 01:05:50.400 about them, buddy, they're in for it. that's 01:05:50.400 --> 01:05:52.019 again that's assuming that information get out 01:05:52.019 --> 01:05:53.980 and be made public because if uh the whole system 01:05:53.980 --> 01:05:56.800 goes down then they're lost forever that's the 01:05:56.800 --> 01:05:59.179 alternative well literally anybody that knows 01:05:59.179 --> 01:06:03.679 would probably just act like i said people are 01:06:03.679 --> 01:06:07.000 only as good as society lets them be but at the 01:06:07.000 --> 01:06:09.139 same point i think a lot of people in politics 01:06:09.139 --> 01:06:10.599 are gonna be like yeah i gotta take care of my 01:06:10.599 --> 01:06:12.340 family i'm not gonna deal with this other politician 01:06:12.340 --> 01:06:14.659 that's a piece of shit i'm gonna take care of 01:06:14.659 --> 01:06:17.679 my people Now, anybody that's interested in doing 01:06:17.679 --> 01:06:21.300 stuff like that, government has a really good 01:06:21.300 --> 01:06:25.460 thing of keeping paper records as well as electronic 01:06:25.460 --> 01:06:27.820 records when it comes to local municipalities. 01:06:28.679 --> 01:06:34.619 So if you're on a list somewhere, you don't want 01:06:34.619 --> 01:06:36.699 the power to go out because there's always going 01:06:36.699 --> 01:06:39.519 to be somebody going, you know what? Give him 01:06:39.519 --> 01:06:45.090 a gun. I'm going hunting. Those pedophiles gonna 01:06:45.090 --> 01:06:47.949 die. You know, there's gonna be some retard like 01:06:47.949 --> 01:06:52.570 that. Oh, yeah. That's a bounty hunt at that 01:06:52.570 --> 01:06:59.409 point. Yep. You know, a societal collapse may 01:06:59.409 --> 01:07:04.289 not necessarily be a totally bad thing. It would 01:07:04.289 --> 01:07:06.650 be a big reset on things, that's for sure. Oh, 01:07:06.650 --> 01:07:08.429 absolutely it would. We would just have to hope 01:07:08.429 --> 01:07:09.969 it would be the whole world at the same time. 01:07:12.239 --> 01:07:15.119 Because if it isn't, then we get invaded and 01:07:15.119 --> 01:07:18.219 life is not good. Well, then we just deal with 01:07:18.219 --> 01:07:22.039 other issues that are coming up. Yeah, but the 01:07:22.039 --> 01:07:23.920 only countries that invade us are countries that 01:07:23.920 --> 01:07:27.019 we don't want invading us. So it's not like Canada 01:07:27.019 --> 01:07:28.800 is going to come down and say, welcome to Canada. 01:07:28.900 --> 01:07:31.340 That's not like that's going to happen. No, you're 01:07:31.340 --> 01:07:33.260 right. I don't know. The maple syrup people are 01:07:33.260 --> 01:07:34.940 kind of dangerous when they want to be, though. 01:07:35.340 --> 01:07:38.219 You're not wrong. I mean, we do have the Geneva 01:07:38.219 --> 01:07:41.480 Conventions for a reason. geneva suggestions 01:07:41.480 --> 01:07:45.059 at that point or otherwise known as the geneva 01:07:45.059 --> 01:07:48.599 checklist yeah i mean technically it doesn't 01:07:48.599 --> 01:07:50.840 exist if there's no country so i mean exactly 01:07:50.840 --> 01:07:54.039 you know yeah can't break a law if there is no 01:07:54.039 --> 01:07:58.539 law you know yep oh yeah it's only a war crime 01:07:58.539 --> 01:08:04.300 after the first time but canada's what 40 million 01:08:04.300 --> 01:08:06.900 people and we're like 300 million like there's 01:08:06.900 --> 01:08:11.070 no Even if we had everything gone, they still 01:08:11.070 --> 01:08:14.170 couldn't invade us. The only countries I could 01:08:14.170 --> 01:08:17.930 are like China, Russia. Even I think Russia would 01:08:17.930 --> 01:08:19.529 struggle like hell. They can't even take over 01:08:19.529 --> 01:08:24.989 Ukraine. Right. Yeah, Ukraine was supposed to 01:08:24.989 --> 01:08:29.670 be a 10 -day exercise. It's been a long ass 10 01:08:29.670 --> 01:08:36.310 days. Yeah. Well, hey, you know, it was two weeks 01:08:36.310 --> 01:08:43.060 to flatten the curve, remember? Yeah. Oh, my 01:08:43.060 --> 01:08:50.800 God. Let's run. I hear a drone. Oh, there's there's 01:08:50.800 --> 01:08:55.100 some new missile technology coming out. Very 01:08:55.100 --> 01:08:58.359 long range, very high payload, but very easy 01:08:58.359 --> 01:09:02.600 to engage from Ukraine side. They're Ukrainian 01:09:02.600 --> 01:09:07.960 missiles, but they're like 3000 kilometers. on 01:09:07.960 --> 01:09:10.659 their range i didn't think to look them up but 01:09:10.659 --> 01:09:13.439 i just saw a thing on them the other day they're 01:09:13.439 --> 01:09:17.359 uh they're being made from like leftovers sounds 01:09:17.359 --> 01:09:20.060 about right they're they cost about a million 01:09:20.060 --> 01:09:22.279 dollars a piece so they're not sure how viable 01:09:22.279 --> 01:09:26.880 it is to to do this but yeah which you know brings 01:09:26.880 --> 01:09:30.279 up another thing with still still topic related 01:09:30.279 --> 01:09:33.140 scavenging for resources and putting stuff like 01:09:33.140 --> 01:09:36.840 that together the people that can make Make shit 01:09:36.840 --> 01:09:41.619 out of shit. We mentioned the people that can 01:09:41.619 --> 01:09:44.699 make stuff with their hands. Let's take a darker 01:09:44.699 --> 01:09:48.079 turn for a second. The people that can make bad 01:09:48.079 --> 01:09:51.140 shit with their hands are also going to be highly 01:09:51.140 --> 01:09:56.760 valuable. So here's the way to look at it. If 01:09:56.760 --> 01:09:58.520 you're the first person in the area to get a 01:09:58.520 --> 01:10:00.600 working tank, congratulations, you have your 01:10:00.600 --> 01:10:05.409 own kingdom. You are God. You are now the king. 01:10:05.430 --> 01:10:09.109 Fuck everybody else. You have a tank. Yes. I 01:10:09.109 --> 01:10:13.449 have a tank. You don't. That's all it is. Yeah. 01:10:13.550 --> 01:10:16.210 You know what's crazy to think about? That means 01:10:16.210 --> 01:10:20.869 the Killdozer would be king again. The rise of 01:10:20.869 --> 01:10:26.250 the Killdozer. Killdozer 2 .0. I need it. I know. 01:10:27.250 --> 01:10:30.470 If you guys don't know, I... absolutely love 01:10:30.470 --> 01:10:33.529 the the killdozer what he did was wrong but i 01:10:33.529 --> 01:10:38.989 understand why he did it so you know like rest 01:10:38.989 --> 01:10:44.590 you merry soul marvin hemeyer yeah and and the 01:10:44.590 --> 01:10:46.470 best part was it wasn't like he was going out 01:10:46.470 --> 01:10:50.050 of way to hurt anybody he was just angry he was 01:10:50.050 --> 01:10:52.149 just taking out the the property of the people 01:10:52.149 --> 01:10:54.989 that fucked him over we should do an episode 01:10:54.989 --> 01:10:59.760 on the killdozer oh yeah okay Boom, boom, baby. 01:11:01.600 --> 01:11:05.100 That's a good one. Especially because there's 01:11:05.100 --> 01:11:06.939 a lot that went into that. There's a lot more. 01:11:07.340 --> 01:11:13.100 Oh, hell yeah.

And I want to talk 01:11:18.420 --> 01:11:20.739 about it one more time. Sure thing.

Because 01:13:39.890 --> 01:13:41.750 the nice thing is, even though it's a Sunday, 01:13:41.909 --> 01:13:44.390 most people are still going to be off on that 01:13:44.390 --> 01:13:47.789 Monday because Labor Day.

So you can still come out, 01:13:53.090 --> 01:13:55.210 drink, and not worry about work the next day. 01:13:55.489 --> 01:13:58.989 Yep. So more information on that will come available 01:13:58.989 --> 01:14:02.909 as we get more things put together. But as of 01:14:02.909 --> 01:14:04.890 right now, that's where we're sitting and what 01:14:04.890 --> 01:14:08.699 we're looking at. But we're very excited. We 01:14:08.699 --> 01:14:10.720 also have, I'm not saying any of the details 01:14:10.720 --> 01:14:16.840 yet. We are working. I'm not saying who yet, 01:14:16.899 --> 01:14:19.279 but I am going to go ahead and say what, if you 01:14:19.279 --> 01:14:24.680 guys are okay with that. I trust you. Yeah. We 01:14:24.680 --> 01:14:30.619 did land our first sponsorship deal. I'm not 01:14:30.619 --> 01:14:33.880 going to say with who yet, but. That's a big 01:14:33.880 --> 01:14:37.119 step for us. I never thought that we would get 01:14:37.119 --> 01:14:38.979 a sponsorship deal, especially this early on, 01:14:39.060 --> 01:14:45.500 but we did. It is a fairly easygoing company 01:14:45.500 --> 01:14:48.020 to get a sponsorship deal with, but they still 01:14:48.020 --> 01:14:50.539 do have a baseline set of requirements, so we 01:14:50.539 --> 01:14:54.760 did at least meet those. We have to meet our 01:14:54.760 --> 01:14:57.699 side of the obligation, and that means we're 01:14:57.699 --> 01:14:59.020 going to try the stuff because we're not going 01:14:59.020 --> 01:15:02.340 to say, hey, try this if we didn't try it. So 01:15:02.340 --> 01:15:05.220 we're going to do that first. And once we do, 01:15:05.279 --> 01:15:10.520 then we'll do that side. Also, we are... No, 01:15:10.579 --> 01:15:14.100 it's not Raid Shadow Legends. My God. Raid Shadow 01:15:14.100 --> 01:15:18.619 Legends. I'm so glad that's no longer like a 01:15:18.619 --> 01:15:20.819 massive thing on YouTube. I know. I got sick 01:15:20.819 --> 01:15:25.800 of that. So tired. If you watch the video segment 01:15:25.800 --> 01:15:29.239 of the episode, you've noticed Baggy up here 01:15:29.239 --> 01:15:31.880 in the corner. Uh, we, we are going to be trying 01:15:31.880 --> 01:15:35.140 to push out some stuff with a baggy on it. Hopefully 01:15:35.140 --> 01:15:37.720 that comes along sooner rather than later. But, 01:15:37.819 --> 01:15:39.619 uh, if you guys like that, like that design, 01:15:39.880 --> 01:15:42.140 uh, if you like the stuff with Mansley on it, 01:15:42.159 --> 01:15:44.800 let us know, and we can get some stuff out with 01:15:44.800 --> 01:15:47.420 him on it as well. But, uh, we are actively working 01:15:47.420 --> 01:15:51.079 on a merch side. Uh, I never thought we would 01:15:51.079 --> 01:15:52.760 have merch, but Hey, we're going to have merch. 01:15:52.859 --> 01:15:57.039 Cause fuck. Yeah. Everybody has mercy in mind 01:15:57.039 --> 01:15:59.619 as well. Right. Well, the thing is, we were looking 01:15:59.619 --> 01:16:01.899 at as a joke. We wanted to make something that 01:16:01.899 --> 01:16:04.239 was kind of funny. But honestly, Baggy's kind 01:16:04.239 --> 01:16:06.760 of grown on all of us. It was like a happy accident. 01:16:07.659 --> 01:16:16.619 Just like me. But definitely let us know how 01:16:16.619 --> 01:16:18.880 you guys feel about that as well. So at the beginning 01:16:18.880 --> 01:16:21.449 of the videos. I'll be giving some teasers. So 01:16:21.449 --> 01:16:23.289 we have Mansley doing a few different things. 01:16:23.689 --> 01:16:26.449 And they're teasing different episodes and different 01:16:26.449 --> 01:16:29.710 discussions we have coming up. I'll give bonus 01:16:29.710 --> 01:16:31.210 points to whoever can figure out some of the 01:16:31.210 --> 01:16:34.109 topics coming up just with the video. Oh, yeah. 01:16:34.170 --> 01:16:36.350 That would be awesome. I think some of them you 01:16:36.350 --> 01:16:38.109 can figure it out. Some of them there's no way. 01:16:39.029 --> 01:16:46.079 But it'll be fun. It'll be fun. So, yeah. Let 01:16:46.079 --> 01:16:48.020 us know what y 'all think of all the stuff we 01:16:48.020 --> 01:16:50.699 got going on. When the live show hits, we absolutely 01:16:50.699 --> 01:16:53.079 want to see as many people there that can make 01:16:53.079 --> 01:16:55.420 it. I do realize that it's a bit of a road trip 01:16:55.420 --> 01:16:58.260 for some people. And if this one is successful, 01:16:58.579 --> 01:17:01.939 we will plan road trips and live shows in other 01:17:01.939 --> 01:17:04.779 cities. That's how the whole live show thing 01:17:04.779 --> 01:17:06.600 happens. The first one's got to be a successful 01:17:06.600 --> 01:17:09.920 one. We need to show or have the support to show 01:17:09.920 --> 01:17:13.670 that this is what people want to see. And we're 01:17:13.670 --> 01:17:16.069 already purposely looking into topics and getting 01:17:16.069 --> 01:17:18.909 things worked on. And we're going to do our best 01:17:18.909 --> 01:17:20.949 effort to make this. It's going to be a blast. 01:17:21.590 --> 01:17:24.130 Yeah. It's going to be a lot of fun. Yeah. That's 01:17:24.130 --> 01:17:29.229 it. We'll be like. Yeah. We're going to have 01:17:29.229 --> 01:17:31.270 a good time with it. We'll pop in there and, 01:17:31.289 --> 01:17:34.729 you know. I had the thought because we have had 01:17:34.729 --> 01:17:36.869 discussions where so much shit has come true. 01:17:37.680 --> 01:17:39.640 I thought about getting like that little chanting 01:17:39.640 --> 01:17:41.899 music going on and we just walk it onto the stage 01:17:41.899 --> 01:17:44.079 and the, the big Brown robes and just, you know, 01:17:44.079 --> 01:17:47.260 like the, the, the, the, the Franciscan monks 01:17:47.260 --> 01:17:52.800 or whatever, you know, because we are essentially 01:17:52.800 --> 01:17:54.420 profits with the amount of shit we've talked 01:17:54.420 --> 01:17:56.640 about that has come to pass at this point. Yeah. 01:17:56.779 --> 01:18:01.800 But so yeah, this, this will be a good time. 01:18:04.240 --> 01:18:08.720 The fat American prophets over here. Yes, I like 01:18:08.720 --> 01:18:12.899 it. Fat American prophets. I'm going to put an 01:18:12.899 --> 01:18:15.460 envelope to my head just like a late show and 01:18:15.460 --> 01:18:22.779 just be like, things that make people go. Yes. 01:18:23.100 --> 01:18:26.119 And I appreciate in chat with Wookiee saying, 01:18:26.239 --> 01:18:28.380 well, the war tanks Gibbs going to be a tank 01:18:28.380 --> 01:18:30.619 commander. If I could ever get a sponsorship 01:18:30.619 --> 01:18:33.989 where I could work with them. that that would 01:18:33.989 --> 01:18:35.789 be it that that'd be my life complete that that 01:18:35.789 --> 01:18:38.569 is the highest level possible of sponsorship 01:18:38.569 --> 01:18:43.250 yes world tanks absolutely be made into a commander 01:18:43.250 --> 01:18:49.270 fuck yeah yeah that'd be scary though oh why 01:18:49.270 --> 01:18:52.369 did that penetrate that hurts oh stop make it 01:18:52.369 --> 01:18:55.630 stop oh god no please sir don't touch me there 01:18:55.630 --> 01:19:03.029 that is my no -no square oh we lost again Oh, 01:19:03.029 --> 01:19:09.149 no.
