Cascadia dispatch joining me as always
is tup the urban prepper tup what is up
how are things uh how was your week
how's everything going uh it's going up
pretty good sorry for the delay a little
busy I I I did a uh I was in a meeting
and I had to do hey I'm gonna be late so
I'm glad that you got it it was like I I
(01:34):
summoned a raven to go over to point to
let you know so we just need to let your
your your you know employer know look a
tub has to go on at 5 30. like we we are
live at 5 30. there are people waiting
for us uh anyway no it is what it is
luckily Bernie it was able to text and
yeah Bernie send out a message uh
Bernie's going for MVP honors already
(01:56):
um I said I don't know so anyway welcome
welcome everybody I see that everyone
was chatting while we were while they
were waiting for us Talk Amongst
yourselves exactly Talk Talk Amongst
yourselves I'll give you a topic a
peanut isn't either a p nor a nut
disgust
um
yeah we had Saturday Night Live cash
back anyway uh so and we only have we
(02:18):
have an abbreviated show yeah that's my
fault my kids have they have they take
piano lessons and uh yeah I don't know
when we're dealing with a with a star as
large as top with millions of fans we
take what we can get but the legal team
gets into play exactly you have other
obligations it's like if you were to go
on like Good Morning America and your
(02:39):
handlers would be like look he's only
got five minutes and then he's on to the
next the next Jimmy Fallon kind of like
that exactly
um so quick shout out to everybody I see
like Chuck is here I saw that uh that uh
Bernie is here I'm just going through
the chat I've got a new little setup
that I'm yeah it looks a little
different working towards I got like my
(03:01):
teleprompter and I got my streaming
camera in there so I theoretically can
like look like this and see everyone but
I haven't gotten that the actual iPad to
sync with it yet so I gotta still work
on it so next we week hopefully Optimus
Prime is more prominent too I think so
well I mean as pretty sure I also added
[Music]
(03:22):
his back and yeah is that the Matrix the
leadership I can't no it's just an
Energon Cube it's an Energon Cube that's
a valuable prep that I think most most
Preppers don't talk about the energy
exactly they don't you don't give the
Energon cubes nearly enough credit yeah
for talking about these little battery
packs and stuff and anchor solar panels
(03:43):
energy and ghosts Energon cubes it
wouldn't matter Energon cubes is where
it's at
um so I actually I I kind of came up
with a topic today for us to discuss a
little bit
um and since we only have a couple
minutes I figured we'd jump right into
it and go for it well and you're always
free I think uh to Talk Amongst yourself
(04:03):
too so well I mean we could do that too
I could drop we'll get birdie in and
then yeah exactly we can do all kinds of
things we'll make it work um
get a pitch hitter yeah exactly we had
we had a sick kid today so it would be
good for me to jump off and go handle
that stuff but we'll I'm getting better
at this Bernie I now have Bernie's
contact information I need Amy's
(04:25):
information I need
um
I need pigs different like there are a
few people that like I just need their
information and then what we're gonna do
is like an hour before Showtime we'd be
like hey who wants to jump on yeah
that'll be good
um so the question I have is we have uh
my daughter has a friend uh who is gonna
(04:45):
come over to our house and uh most of
the time especially because of covid
most of the people that have been to our
house are people we know we've known for
a long time they know us and the
um little girls parents uh said hey
actually like we've never really met
other than you know exchanging kids
during the day or whatever
(05:05):
um before she comes over and spends a
lot of time I'd love to come over and
like spend a little bit of time with
your family and and feel to know the
parents yeah exactly and when we were
like that is a remarkably responsible
and realistic idea we are all for that
okay great
and uh as we've been talking about it
this weekend it's coming up this weekend
(05:26):
um my my wife was talking we were like
you know when people come over to our
house there are lots of people that that
know us and know about you know some of
the the prepping stuff that we do and
all that sort of stuff it's not
something we bring up all the time but
when new people come into our house or
something they might see like our
surplus of stuff in the garage or you
(05:48):
know the fact that there are flashlights
all over the house and you know that
we've got a new security system
everywhere like there are things like
that that kind of uh make people ask
questions and I'm curious when we're
meeting new people and kind of revealing
to them like are you a prepper are you a
prepper are you a prep I'm a prepper I
(06:09):
don't know like that conversation have
you uh had that experience yet and what
are some ways that you kind of
lead people into the idea that you are a
prepper aside from all of the fans that
are parked in your driveway
and and signs like yeah I think it's a
(06:30):
great I think it's a great topic because
it's a
uh yeah that's happened a lot and it's
kind of funny it's always like that
awkward moment where uh you you could
kind of you could kind of sniff out one
of your own pretty quickly and easily
like they might have a paracord bracelet
or they they might have a little pocket
clip knife it's like it's it's kind of
(06:50):
funny uh yeah that I I but you always
want to remember never go full prepper
you don't want to go full prepper right
off the bat but they might so uh usually
I I usually just talk in terms of like I
don't even say prepper because sometimes
it's associated with Doomsday Preppers
which then is associated with doom Gloom
type stuff so I always do it I always
say emergency preparedness is those and
(07:11):
then and then I talk about Pantry stuff
first like that's because everyone can
relate to food everyone wants to eat
food and usually at once you start
talking pantry and food related preps
it's it's like then you could kind of
start gauging how safe of a space this
is to talk about it so because again you
don't want to go full prepper you know
exactly you don't want to be like so
come to the Armory like you don't want
(07:32):
to lean off
have you downloaded the PDF you don't
want to do that right off the bat that's
too much have you subscribed to my
YouTube channel yeah we're not even mad
like also you don't you have to be
careful on who you share that kind of
information with because you also don't
want to be rated by them down
people go back and they're like so we
(07:54):
found this house and they have all kinds
of interesting stuff so we should
probably Preppers yes
um yeah I think so when when we were
putting the we've had you know
conversations here and there and I've
kind of you know over the years let it
be known a little bit more that like I'm
interested in this sort of thing
(08:15):
um but when we were having the office
build yeah and we had a lot of
contractor people in and some of them
were subcontracts they were just doing
you know they were just doing the blinds
or they were just doing the paint or
whatever uh it was interesting because
they'd come in and I'd have like a box
of all of the like gear that I want
wanted to make videos about and they
would be like what
(08:37):
tell me about the waterproof pouches and
the
um you know is that a plate carrier what
is going on like so there's interesting
you kind of judge from them like they
would be like oh yeah my brother does
all of that stuff for us and he has a
bunker and he does all that like or they
would be like why do you have all of
that
(08:58):
um so it's definitely I think you know
leading into it going with the food is a
great is a great one especially because
yeah so many people can
um
and I think that's a fantastic but I
think a lot of like the covid stuff like
helped out with the it was a it's a kind
of horrible situation but it did I think
(09:18):
it uh uh it's not uncommon for people to
be walking around in 95 masks when like
you know five years ago people didn't
you know that that was a faux pas so uh
yeah uh so I don't know I think I think
people are more accepting of it now
because and maybe even mired it a little
bit as long as it's practical if it
comes across as practical stuff but yeah
(09:38):
I wouldn't go into too much uh security
weapons type stuff or even like the
hammery yeah because they associate that
with a certain thing but again I always
try to Trend Trend lightly just in
general and uh and don't give up all
your cards too too quickly but yeah it's
the first thing now because I'm a
gigantic white antenna in our backyard
yeah that's that's showing that the
(10:00):
discussion exactly he's gone full
prepper it's it's happening if we need
this is the spot to go sort of a thing
try to keep a consistent like
non-prepper type look like with the coat
and the hat and the glasses like if I
really want to go full prepper you know
the full uh you know military baseball
cap and something I mean you don't walk
(10:21):
around in a sweatshirt that you designed
no
actually that's part of gray man that's
part of gray man it's not looking like
one that's a different that's a whole
different Channel thing happened
but it's pretty funny because there's
always yeah that's a common like first
uh it's like a first date kind of thing
where oh you're uh
(10:41):
what's your sign are you uh are you into
canning or are you into freeze drying
what yeah you kind of to be a little
careful too like I don't know uh it's
like I don't know it's like a like on
first dates you don't talk about
religion and politics and stuff but at
least I uh at least that's how it used
to be uh something you kind of have to
gauge someone out if there is some
common type thing so
I like intermittent fasting and getting
(11:03):
caught in the rain like I don't know
that if that would work out or not as a
yeah
um so Dr Dave says background checks
first
um Dr Dave do you mean background check
like on the people or do you mean like
talk about background checks
um can we background check all the
(11:24):
people that come to our house
um we're gonna like when you go to the
uh like the indoor skydiving things or
Chuck E Cheese's or whatever you have to
do the liability form now online before
your kid can go play like if you'd like
to go to our house we need to have a
background check and yeah I think a
prairie prepping I was talking about the
guy off the road that school is full
(11:45):
purpose in one way like I I try to gray
man is good but maybe if going full
maybe just being outward full prepper
will just turn uh certain people won't
want to mess with you just right off the
bat because you're full prepper and you
and you're not afraid to show it type
thing so I don't know uh I I go gray man
but yeah I think that's that's also like
the difference between it's kind of the
(12:07):
gray man and the yellow jacket idea
which one day I'm going to make a video
about yeah I have images I have b-roll
footage of yellow jackets like I am
ready to make this video
at some point in the next I don't know
12 to 18 months probably
um but I think the idea that that there
are some people who maybe you want to be
a little bit more avert uh and obvious
(12:30):
with your prepping plans and some of
that to kind of get some space versus
the people you just want to blend in and
not you know ruffle feathers and some of
that sort of stuff you see so what does
it say Cliff I think I found your
doppelganger and it's from not
foreign
that's hilarious
(12:52):
to get the legal team on the phone
all right got another doppelganger the
best part is it's probably Canadian
pepper just decided to uh
it's probably Bernie yeah it probably is
burning yeah yeah that makes sense
that's uh that's good
um let's see during doomsday pepper show
(13:15):
um run we would see people walking
around in full camo not So Much Anymore
um yeah the camo thing is something that
I have not really
gotten on board with yeah
um in general like I don't have ammo's
not great man yeah I don't have any
preps it's supposed to be gray man
because it's camo yeah any preps that
(13:36):
are actually
camo no
like my camo is a pea coat in black and
non that's that's camouflage it's a pea
coat with 17 battery chargers if you're
in the woods then the camel's camo but I
think in an urban environment your camo
is blending in and looking like you know
just a urbanite so yeah so if you're in
(14:00):
the woods or something and you're
wearing black
you know I feel like that's also going
to blend in especially at night really
really well if you're moving at night
then black is going to be a pretty
awesome way to blend in with you know
the Black Knight I would think yeah
um more than you know like the green or
the mossy oak or something like that
(14:22):
um if you were hunting then sure are
those colors I only know like 16 colors
and I think you just busted out some
like a mossy oak there's a there's a I
think there's a company I think it's a
and a uh uh it's an outfitting company I
say outfitting because I think they make
clothes and I think they make keys okay
but it's like a hunting it's like
designed for like deer hunters okay
(14:44):
that's that's that look okay and they
have like a certain type of camo that
looks like Photo realistic kind of
um and so like I feel like okay if
you're doing that then fantastic like
that's great camera but if you're
wandering around in the street or you've
got an earthquake or something like that
if you're wearing all camo that is
projecting not gray man and not camo
(15:05):
that is being super obvious that's gonna
be harder like on the title of the video
the uh nice to meet you we're not crazy
but yeah that'll yeah we're a little
crazy if you forget
nice to meet you we're not crazy yeah I
thought about that because a lot of
times I know that for me when I would be
initially when I would be people who
(15:27):
were big into emergency preparedness and
I was not I was like all right you're
all Doomsday Preppers I don't know
what's going on here and like this is
not my scene
now it is my scene and uh so it's trying
to figure out if you're if you're
meeting somebody new
um you know hey I'm not I'm not crazy
like we're not we're not lumping
(15:49):
ourselves into that broader proper
community of we're hiding in the woods
and we're you know wearing camo all the
time like we're just people who plan
ahead and do stuff
um
and yeah please let let our kids hang
out together because they would like to
be friends
yeah I uh someone say how do you have
(16:12):
YouTube been prepping all these yeah it
was a new term for me I know what he's
talking about I just never called it by
its official name I guess so uh on the
mossy oak so uh I'm still convinced that
the best preppers are the ones that you
don't we don't even know about I I don't
think what if you're on YouTube you're
already kind of avoiding like uh you're
putting your face out there I think like
the best of the best Preppers uh are
(16:34):
probably we have no idea who they are
they don't have a YouTube channel or
they don't have a mailing list and stuff
and they're like some super discreet
super low-key don't don't talk about it
it's like Fight Club type thing so yeah
I mean they don't have YouTube channels
and they don't have YouTube channels and
like they're face scanned and there's a
bike and boxer being made of homes
exactly they don't have ai enhanced
(16:55):
images of all of their different you
know looks and things like that yeah I I
I think those are probably the best best
Preppers out there so
um
all right let me just look at the
comments because we have so many people
um
big Ross uh people don't have prepper
pantries they are The Crazy Ones you
know what nowadays yeah yeah I would
(17:16):
totally agree with that yeah okay if you
survived through the last couple of
years like that was like dialing in
prepper pantry if you don't have a
prepper Pantry some some some kind of
masks and toilet paper uh that then
that's just crazy yeah exactly just be
common now I think yeah yeah and you
should watch Tufts video on how much
(17:37):
toilet paper you need for a year or get
up again yeah exactly we gotta bump up
we'll get a little extra view a little
monetization
cycle there for you on that video most
people still aren't uh into the bidet
thing as much but European Europeans
know where it's at so I highly recommend
wonderful Costco purchase because if you
(17:58):
get it and try it out and you don't like
it it's Costco you can take it back now
it might be able to feel a little gross
to take it back but you can totally take
it back to Costco and get your money
back
um they also are on sale there like
every in every monthly cycle there is a
different brand or version of the day
(18:18):
that is on sale so you can totally get
one until we get one up
um I highly recommend it
cool
um
we have three of them now
um we have them in all of the bathrooms
because everyone was yeah um didn't want
it
um yeah I had to take out it from the
main bathroom because it was a problem
so yeah uh Amy said she doesn't look
(18:40):
good in camera
um but she does like solid colors uh
they go into the various camos so Amy
would be advocating then for like
olive gray or tan or something like go
with a color color blocking maybe but
not the full-on
uh you know digitized or the leaf
(19:03):
designs or anything like that
because and I could hear outside I hear
rumbling outside my door so I make it
you're gonna and we are almost at 20
minutes we're almost like right on here
at any point like it could be a disaster
all right what do you mean disaster most
of our shows at all points are a
(19:23):
disaster like I I feel like this is
actually the most organized show you've
had in a very long time it's pretty it's
we're pretty efficient right down to
business
yeah we can just really knock out the
points well I think yeah man you wish uh
I need a picture I need a Bernie or Amy
Amy fresh to come on or all right Bernie
(19:44):
do you want to come on or who wants to
come on I'll throw you an ad and we I'll
I'll send you the link and we can bring
you in
um if if either of you would like to you
are more than welcome to we can do
another 10 or 15 minutes yeah
um
let's see how do I the question is how
do I get the linked
(20:06):
um
to somebody well Bernie his email maybe
Bernie doesn't have textbooks I don't I
think he might yeah yeah Bernie doesn't
have text messaging because he's he's
old school my teacher yeah exactly he's
like he's late 90s yeah
he's not it's not a thing
um Amy is not set up for it at the
(20:27):
moment okay totally fine Amy like
totally fine no need to uh to apologize
or anything like that let me
see if I can get this over to Bernie
well I'll probably let me I'll bow out
gracefully and then uh just so but uh
I'll I'll try to tune in while I'm
driving to the piano lesson I think oh
(20:48):
all right well that would be something
that might be kind of fun we would enjoy
we would enjoy that yeah I'll be a
commenter and then you'll ban me exactly
yeah yeah you're uh 100 garbage okay and
you're done yeah you're done you're dead
to me yeah exactly all right Bernie I
just I sent you a DM and Instagram
because I didn't have a carrier pigeon
and
(21:09):
um my owl is not functioning right now
um I do have like a couple of Hedwig uh
Lego sets I was thinking I should make
one of those and and put those in
um but yeah so Bernie I sent you
um actually no Bernie does have text
messaging because he he he's texting you
(21:34):
um all right so I texted it to him too
all right okay cool well I'm gonna I'm
gonna about before they before I read it
but yeah it's good good talking and I'll
make sure that I'll talk to my boss tell
him hey that I got things to do at 5 30.
yeah exactly yeah yeah come on we got we
got things to do
um but everyone uh I think around stick
around yeah yeah because yeah stay on
(21:55):
the channels that you're on because I
think touch channel will continue to
broadcast even if his camera goes off I
think we'll be good
um so we'll just wait for
Bernie to make it all right I'll slip it
out all right
all right we'll go into that mode uh
(22:16):
yeah I'm hoping that this iPod tele iPad
teleprompter whole setup thing is gonna
work a little bit better
um and I won't be looking down or off to
the side as much
um
so that would be a that would be a good
thing I think for everybody uh you know
more eye contact let you all know that I
see you I hear you
(22:37):
um and by that I'm reading your comments
and things
um
oh now Bernie needs a minute
Bernie we we said we were getting on
like what what are you gonna do you
gotta you gotta go get camera ready I
don't know what's happening
um
all right oh Big Ross moved over to the
the Cascadia dispatch channel that is
fantastic
(22:57):
um if everyone wouldn't mind if you
haven't already hit the like button
um because we we definitely noticed that
when there are more thumbs UPS on the
videos on the streams
um that definitely gets pushed out and
especially in the re-watch and the
replays
um there are more people that that it
gets suggested to so uh if you haven't
(23:18):
already go ahead hit the like button
while we're waiting for Bernie to uh to
join us as well
um big Ross is already
um have you tried the new
oh the new eye contact AI
so I'm so glad you brought that up I
have not tried it I've seen it in
(23:39):
examples and it is crazy how amazing it
is
um I also just as it like I was gonna
make a little video about uh prepping
with chat gbt
um I think I still might do it
um but I I played around with chat gbt
and and asking if some prepping related
questions and things like that and
(23:59):
um it is pretty amazing from that front
there are obviously things it can't do
oh
the man the myth the legend
Bernie has arrived the Apex prepper
has arrived welcome to the party sir hey
can you hear me and I might need to get
a headset I could pretend that I
couldn't hear you and that would be
really funny for everyone else but no I
(24:21):
can totally hear you okay good so
welcome welcome hey everyone I know it
looks good it's been so long since
you've been on a stream it has been a
long time and like my hair you know I
didn't get it ready in time and I
understand you didn't have time to go to
The Stylist the curls are not fully set
we won't judge okay please don't yeah
exactly Amy Amy Says Yes we can totally
(24:44):
hear so so Bernie have you played around
with any of the the AIS
no I haven't I've been thinking about it
um because you know I'm I have this
artsy side to me right but
uh at the same time I'm like uh like
kind of scared when I might find out
(25:05):
[Laughter]
like
where I get in with some of that where
it may put me in a situation like like
man I would be a badass Viking yeah
and then you have to bleach your hair
and you have to grow get away
(25:27):
exactly it's a whole thing I understand
I understand
um it was kind of I got into Chad gbt
and I asked that like give me 30 tasks
to do as a prepping person and I wanted
to compare it against the list that I
had made for my prep for the prep alerts
uh calendar and then for the planner and
(25:48):
stuff that I'm working on and it was
amazing how close it actually came up to
all of the things that like you would
you know you would think people would
know about but obviously you don't
um but just all of the you know check
your fire extinguishers check your
things make sure you have a food plan
find air evacuation points and it just
(26:10):
kept spitting them out and you're gonna
adjust it and be like all right uh which
of these should we use if we're in the
southern states or whatever and it would
change it for weather and all that sort
of stuff it was uh it was pretty crazy
um
I thought it was interesting though
because I asked it to give me I think I
asked it to give me 50. because I was
(26:32):
trying to see okay could you get like a
week like a week well like my the prep
alerts calendar I've got a different
task for every week
um some of them are overlapping you know
like redoing bug out bags and some of
that sort of stuff but for the most part
there's probably 40 what I need to do
tasks
um and then for the the new planner that
(26:53):
I'm putting together it's it's got
similar things
um and it came up with like 37.
and I was like give me 10 more and it
was like no I have no more
so no more no more were cut off yeah
yeah exactly exactly
um
let's see
(27:14):
um oh yeah twins
yeah modern day forever wow twins he's
not far off I mean you have more hair
than I do I'm kind of jealous well you
know I I it's on the sides it just it
just relocates from different places to
different places
um so part of my my uh hair processary
(27:37):
right now apparently is isopropyl
rubbing alcohol
for what
why do you need wait is this like when
when tup pulls up a chainsaw from next
to his desk and you're like why do you
have a fire and uh hiring no way I have
a fire hydrant wrench and a chainsaw
in your office
(27:59):
I'm trying to think why did I have
this rubbing alcohol
I know I was cleaning something
and you breathed in too much and you've
forgotten the last three days that's
what has happened
you caught me
all right I'm just I'm looking at my
background I was like oh yeah I totally
(28:20):
forgot I have hey look I have like a
little I do have a little proper square
right there oh there you go I appreciate
this I've got my I got my Transformers
one okay got some berryon brand yeah and
then I got some Marvel stuff down here
got a mess over there yeah
(28:42):
all right you have you know what you
have you have a a prep talk live
approved background that's what is
happening back yes yes not really well
um so Chuck says that he tried chat gbt
and it is scary good
yes uh okay it is have you gotten on
have you played with it yet no no
I like I said scared yeah you should
(29:06):
totally everyone should get on and just
see what it comes up with
um and I'll take your word of course
concerning is like what that means for
like
people with certain types of jobs and
things like
um I've seen a lot of people kind of
break down what chat gbt actually like
can process and what types of outputs it
(29:29):
can do and inputs it can handle and
stuff like that
so it's still a ways from like totally
replacing all human beings
um but it's like a really really amazing
version of Google uh from like search
like you just go and ask it like a
regular question and Google would maybe
give you some responses and chat gbt
(29:49):
will summarize those responses and be
like these are the most important things
you should know you're like fantastic
all right I'm gonna give it a shot see
how it goes apparently it passed the
accounting uh like the accounting uh
uh what's it called boards to like be a
CPA if that's the medical boards it
(30:11):
passed the bar exam and it passed the
MBA exams and I think it was University
of Pennsylvania uh Wharton
um so
um so can you ask it to represent you
if you needed a lawyer
(30:32):
um or if you needed a second opinion on
a medical yeah so I like I don't know if
it it obviously does not carry the same
level of like experience and
um real world
uh just experience and like liability
coverage and like if something happened
(30:53):
you could like go to it
um but it's an interesting I think for
people who are used to going to like
getting their medical degrees from
Google
and searching things up on Google and
coming up with answers I think it's
going to be interesting to see how they
transition to doing that in chat gbt
um
(31:13):
and what the responses come back from
chat gbt on some of those similar
questions that normally Google would
give you seven or eight different
article results chat gbt is just going
to give you like a bullet pointed
summary of of what you wanted
okay
(31:34):
um but yeah it's uh it's interesting and
it just like I mean there's so many of
them there's the one that does the
images
um
it's just it's crazy all of the all of
the different stuff so and it's the chat
gbt open AI yeah
yeah
(31:54):
if you can get in it's also they have
like load uh uh load limits on it
because it's currently free
um
um and it'll take a little while before
it like there's a spot for you to get in
and and use it but Pony girl's here yeah
Pony girls are she's a little late too
(32:18):
she's later than top I mean that's kind
of yeah
um Pony girl
um not sure if you know top has changed
a little bit
um he's finally gotten rid of the Hat he
was like you know what it's time to time
to go
um lost the ability to play the sacks
yeah exactly exactly
(32:38):
um speaking of and we can talk about it
now that he's not here yeah have you
watched his video
his latest
it's it's fantastic he's very good he's
very tall yeah you know I saw him alive
you know it was the first time I met him
when so
a lot of you guys may or may not know
this and how I met tup the the first
(33:00):
time I met him
he had put uh the the flashlight
foreign
the flashlight he'd put this up for um a
giveaway free giveaway
and it was his son that ended up picking
(33:22):
my
my comment and it was because of my
gamer tag it was at the time uh bionic
Madness
so
I
he saw uh he contacted me he's like hey
you won you know and so I I contacted
and I was like dude I've been following
you for years and I started you know I
(33:44):
went what we were talking about earlier
I went full prepper
on him and he was just like oh my God we
got to talk so he calls me and then we
we had in like an hour-long conversation
just about
like we both went full prepper I mean it
(34:04):
was fantastic so
then
a show uh in Portland in downtown
Portland uh this was before all the
craziness right yeah and so we decided
to meet downtown and he invited me to a
show he's like hey I'm playing downtown
Let's uh you know come and I got you
(34:28):
tickets you can come and watch and like
sweet great so
we did
two videos
on that ended up on his channel one was
for the documentation
uh and the other one was for uh digital
uh downloads and whatever but it was
(34:51):
also that same night that he had a show
and I think I was out till like one
o'clock in the morning
back in the old days back when you could
do that back when I was young yeah
exactly and yes and we uh we hung out
most of the night and then we talked
(35:12):
more prepping and whatnot but yeah so
yeah that first night that I met him I
got to watch him play live and yeah that
was a great show so I have not gotten to
see him live uh I I met him because I
messaged him on Instagram I think it was
on Instagram
uh I was driving up and down uh up and
(35:33):
back to Seattle every week for a client
that I was working with and I I figured
out that he lived in the Seattle area
and was like Hey the next time I'm I'm
up there can I take you to to grab a
drink or something and just thank you
for you know giving me the information
to get started on this whole thing
(35:54):
um and uh and yeah and that that was
that's where our one picture together
comes from is from that and then the
rest is history at this point we were
like all right at some point we need to
get together and take more pictures
because you know we need better
thumbnails
yeah exactly well I mean next time I
have a picture with him I am definitely
(36:15):
standing on like three or four steps
because like we were way the camera was
way back in order to get me into the
picture and hit because
for all of you that don't realize on how
big he's seven foot four
at least 320 pounds like you would not
expect it from him so he actually come
(36:38):
up with the idea back you know a couple
years ago it's like I should dress up as
Han Solo and he should dress up as a
Wookie and it would be perfect I think
yes but I think you should dress up at
The Wookie and he should dress up on
solo I think that would be even better
or
(36:58):
we you could dress up as Han Solo
get him to dress up as The Wookie and I
could be the Ewok
okay I like that idea that you know what
that's a much better plan yeah much
better plan I like that very much I
thought you were going to tell me to
dress up as Leia and I was gonna be like
I don't look as great in the gold bikini
(37:18):
that's just yeah
that's the thing I didn't want to see
though so yeah College none of none of
us yeah
that would be fantastic
um
has anybody else in the chat is there
anybody else who's actually met tup
(37:39):
now that we're all just a great question
fanboying over top now that he's gone
he's probably in the car just loving it
just eating it up just telling his kids
his wife like see look at these these
these screwed up everything exactly the
last 20 minutes we haven't talked about
prepping at all instead we talked about
Wookies Han Solo Ewoks and now R2D2 yeah
(38:03):
for everyone who has been to our show
before again that would not be a
surprise to anyone no that that is what
we would that that's what we would talk
about the only thing that's really
missing is uh we haven't done a poop
joke yet
well look it'll come out eventually
thank you Bernie thank you for saving
thank you for saving the show
(38:26):
now that we got all that out of the way
yeah exactly now that we got that
covered
oh my goodness so okay I suppose we
should get to some of this is he real or
just AI you know
he seemed real but it is very possible
that he was some sort of like a life
model decoy
I think I think that's possible
(38:49):
um
And So It Begins yeah yeah
[Laughter]
that is that is pretty fair that is
pretty fair
um all right so I'm liking this I'm
liking this whole being able to swap out
so what we need I think going forward
um if other if anyone in the chat
(39:09):
because right now there's I don't know
there's a few people who are who are in
the chat live right now and most of them
are are our usual crew if any of you
would be interested in pinch hitting as
a as a guest commentator or jumping in
or anything like that
um send me a DM on Instagram
(39:31):
um with uh your email address or contact
information or something
um and then what we'll do or you can
even just say hey on Instagram like hey
I'd be interested and then I can send
you the the link via that and that way
um because sometimes we know that we
talk about the fact that like
we're not always on time sometimes
(39:51):
especially with tough schedule if his
meeting runs long or something or my
meetings run long or whatever you know
things can kind of shake out at the last
minute so sometimes we don't know
actually when we're gonna start
um for real until 20 minutes before we
actually hit the live button so if there
are
um if there's anybody who would who
(40:12):
would be up for jumping in
um so that if if I can't make it you can
jump on what's up if tup can't make it
you jump on with me
um we might also just do some of these
where top and I maybe start and kick it
off and then we bring in some people as
we go
um but it'd be great to know who would
be up for that who has a camera set up
or not a camera setup but just the
(40:34):
ability to jump on to to a video
conference
um
that would be fantastic
um we've gotten lots of friends
Pony girl pigs fly and uh Amy yeah but I
would also say prairie prepping Chuck
always has great comments Dr Dave is on
here all the time
(40:55):
um there are there are lots of The Usual
Suspects on here
um that I think I'm just going through
and finding everybody modern day prepper
100
um big Ross is always involved
um this Apex prepper guy he just is not
now that guy's a joke I don't know yeah
(41:16):
exactly I saw him on tough streams for a
while I am I think that's what ended tub
streams to be honest was Apex prepper no
kidding man that guy I swear family yeah
like I say some people's kids
some people's kids some people's kids
um so yeah so I would say yeah anybody
who's interested I know we're going to
(41:37):
reach out to a couple of other people
that we know and see who might be up for
like a more scheduled appearance
um over the next couple months but um
having some some a little bit of a list
of people who could jump on I think
would be fantastic so I think that as we
as we approach 6 30 uh I know I need to
go and do dinner
(42:00):
um Bernie I appreciate you jumping on
problem pinch hitting as usual you did a
fantastic job we only lost you know 3
000 simultaneous viewers during your
portion of the show yeah that's expected
though yeah yeah
you know like to be honest I was
expecting a 10 000 viewer loss so we're
(42:21):
we're in better shape yeah yeah really
you held the audience which was
fantastic do my best definitely do my
best all right everybody well thanks

I mean you know what we're trying what
more do you want from us people other
than being like on time and here every

(01:12):
talk live episode 45 I'm Casey with
Cascadia dispatch joining me as always

pretty good sorry for the delay a little
busy I I I did a uh I was in a meeting

I'm glad that you got it it was like I I
(01:34):
summoned a raven to go over to point to
let you know so we just need to let your
your your you know employer know look a
tub has to go on at 5 30. like we we are
live at 5 30. there are people waiting
for us uh anyway no it is what it is
luckily Bernie it was able to text and
yeah Bernie send out a message uh
Bernie's going for MVP honors already
(01:56):
um I said I don't know so anyway welcome
welcome everybody I see that everyone
was chatting while we were while they
were waiting for us Talk Amongst
yourselves exactly Talk Talk Amongst
yourselves I'll give you a topic a
peanut isn't either a p nor a nut
disgust
um
yeah we had Saturday Night Live cash
back anyway uh so and we only have we
(02:18):
have an abbreviated show yeah that's my
fault my kids have they have they take
piano lessons and uh yeah I don't know
when we're dealing with a with a star as
large as top with millions of fans we
take what we can get but the legal team
gets into play exactly you have other
obligations it's like if you were to go
on like Good Morning America and your
(02:39):
handlers would be like look he's only
got five minutes and then he's on to the
next the next Jimmy Fallon kind of like
that exactly
um so quick shout out to everybody I see
like Chuck is here I saw that uh that uh
Bernie is here I'm just going through
the chat I've got a new little setup
that I'm yeah it looks a little
different working towards I got like my
(03:01):
teleprompter and I got my streaming
camera in there so I theoretically can
like look like this and see everyone but
I haven't gotten that the actual iPad to
sync with it yet so I gotta still work
on it so next we week hopefully Optimus
Prime is more prominent too I think so
well I mean as pretty sure I also added
[Music]
(03:22):
his back and yeah is that the Matrix the
leadership I can't no it's just an
Energon Cube it's an Energon Cube that's
a valuable prep that I think most most
Preppers don't talk about the energy
exactly they don't you don't give the
Energon cubes nearly enough credit yeah
for talking about these little battery
packs and stuff and anchor solar panels
(03:43):
energy and ghosts Energon cubes it
wouldn't matter Energon cubes is where
it's at
um so I actually I I kind of came up
with a topic today for us to discuss a
little bit
um and since we only have a couple
minutes I figured we'd jump right into
it and go for it well and you're always
free I think uh to Talk Amongst yourself
(04:03):
too so well I mean we could do that too
I could drop we'll get birdie in and
then yeah exactly we can do all kinds of
things we'll make it work um
get a pitch hitter yeah exactly we had
we had a sick kid today so it would be
good for me to jump off and go handle
that stuff but we'll I'm getting better
at this Bernie I now have Bernie's
contact information I need Amy's
(04:25):
information I need
um
I need pigs different like there are a
few people that like I just need their
information and then what we're gonna do
is like an hour before Showtime we'd be
like hey who wants to jump on yeah
that'll be good
um so the question I have is we have uh
my daughter has a friend uh who is gonna
(04:45):
come over to our house and uh most of
the time especially because of covid
most of the people that have been to our
house are people we know we've known for
a long time they know us and the
um little girls parents uh said hey
actually like we've never really met
other than you know exchanging kids
during the day or whatever
(05:05):
um before she comes over and spends a
lot of time I'd love to come over and
like spend a little bit of time with
your family and and feel to know the
parents yeah exactly and when we were
like that is a remarkably responsible
and realistic idea we are all for that
okay great
and uh as we've been talking about it
this weekend it's coming up this weekend
(05:26):
um my my wife was talking we were like
you know when people come over to our
house there are lots of people that that
know us and know about you know some of
the the prepping stuff that we do and
all that sort of stuff it's not
something we bring up all the time but
when new people come into our house or
something they might see like our
surplus of stuff in the garage or you
(05:48):
know the fact that there are flashlights
all over the house and you know that
we've got a new security system
everywhere like there are things like
that that kind of uh make people ask
questions and I'm curious when we're
meeting new people and kind of revealing
to them like are you a prepper are you a
prepper are you a prep I'm a prepper I
(06:09):
don't know like that conversation have
you uh had that experience yet and what
are some ways that you kind of
lead people into the idea that you are a
prepper aside from all of the fans that
are parked in your driveway
and and signs like yeah I think it's a
(06:30):
great I think it's a great topic because
it's a
uh yeah that's happened a lot and it's
kind of funny it's always like that
awkward moment where uh you you could
kind of you could kind of sniff out one
of your own pretty quickly and easily
like they might have a paracord bracelet
or they they might have a little pocket
clip knife it's like it's it's kind of
(06:50):
funny uh yeah that I I but you always
want to remember never go full prepper
you don't want to go full prepper right
off the bat but they might so uh usually
I I usually just talk in terms of like I
don't even say prepper because sometimes
it's associated with Doomsday Preppers
which then is associated with doom Gloom
type stuff so I always do it I always
say emergency preparedness is those and
(07:11):
then and then I talk about Pantry stuff
first like that's because everyone can
relate to food everyone wants to eat
food and usually at once you start
talking pantry and food related preps
it's it's like then you could kind of
start gauging how safe of a space this
is to talk about it so because again you
don't want to go full prepper you know
exactly you don't want to be like so
come to the Armory like you don't want
(07:32):
to lean off
have you downloaded the PDF you don't
want to do that right off the bat that's
too much have you subscribed to my
YouTube channel yeah we're not even mad
like also you don't you have to be
careful on who you share that kind of
information with because you also don't
want to be rated by them down
people go back and they're like so we
(07:54):
found this house and they have all kinds
of interesting stuff so we should
probably Preppers yes
um yeah I think so when when we were
putting the we've had you know
conversations here and there and I've
kind of you know over the years let it
be known a little bit more that like I'm
interested in this sort of thing
(08:15):
um but when we were having the office
build yeah and we had a lot of
contractor people in and some of them
were subcontracts they were just doing
you know they were just doing the blinds
or they were just doing the paint or
whatever uh it was interesting because
they'd come in and I'd have like a box
of all of the like gear that I want
wanted to make videos about and they
would be like what
(08:37):
tell me about the waterproof pouches and
the
um you know is that a plate carrier what
is going on like so there's interesting
you kind of judge from them like they
would be like oh yeah my brother does
all of that stuff for us and he has a
bunker and he does all that like or they
would be like why do you have all of
that
(08:58):
um so it's definitely I think you know
leading into it going with the food is a
great is a great one especially because
yeah so many people can
um
and I think that's a fantastic but I
think a lot of like the covid stuff like
helped out with the it was a it's a kind
of horrible situation but it did I think
(09:18):
it uh uh it's not uncommon for people to
be walking around in 95 masks when like
you know five years ago people didn't
you know that that was a faux pas so uh
yeah uh so I don't know I think I think
people are more accepting of it now
because and maybe even mired it a little
bit as long as it's practical if it
comes across as practical stuff but yeah
(09:38):
I wouldn't go into too much uh security
weapons type stuff or even like the
hammery yeah because they associate that
with a certain thing but again I always
try to Trend Trend lightly just in
general and uh and don't give up all
your cards too too quickly but yeah it's
the first thing now because I'm a
gigantic white antenna in our backyard
yeah that's that's showing that the
(10:00):
discussion exactly he's gone full
prepper it's it's happening if we need
this is the spot to go sort of a thing
try to keep a consistent like
non-prepper type look like with the coat
and the hat and the glasses like if I
really want to go full prepper you know
the full uh you know military baseball
cap and something I mean you don't walk
(10:21):
around in a sweatshirt that you designed
no
actually that's part of gray man that's
part of gray man it's not looking like
one that's a different that's a whole
different Channel thing happened
but it's pretty funny because there's
always yeah that's a common like first
uh it's like a first date kind of thing
where oh you're uh
(10:41):
what's your sign are you uh are you into
canning or are you into freeze drying
what yeah you kind of to be a little
careful too like I don't know uh it's
like I don't know it's like a like on
first dates you don't talk about
religion and politics and stuff but at
least I uh at least that's how it used
to be uh something you kind of have to
gauge someone out if there is some
common type thing so
I like intermittent fasting and getting
(11:03):
caught in the rain like I don't know
that if that would work out or not as a
yeah
um so Dr Dave says background checks
first
um Dr Dave do you mean background check
like on the people or do you mean like
talk about background checks
um can we background check all the
(11:24):
people that come to our house
um we're gonna like when you go to the
uh like the indoor skydiving things or
Chuck E Cheese's or whatever you have to
do the liability form now online before
your kid can go play like if you'd like
to go to our house we need to have a
background check and yeah I think a
prairie prepping I was talking about the
guy off the road that school is full
(11:45):
purpose in one way like I I try to gray
man is good but maybe if going full
maybe just being outward full prepper
will just turn uh certain people won't
want to mess with you just right off the
bat because you're full prepper and you
and you're not afraid to show it type
thing so I don't know uh I I go gray man
but yeah I think that's that's also like
the difference between it's kind of the
(12:07):
gray man and the yellow jacket idea
which one day I'm going to make a video
about yeah I have images I have b-roll
footage of yellow jackets like I am
ready to make this video
at some point in the next I don't know
12 to 18 months probably
um but I think the idea that that there
are some people who maybe you want to be
a little bit more avert uh and obvious
(12:30):
with your prepping plans and some of
that to kind of get some space versus
the people you just want to blend in and
not you know ruffle feathers and some of
that sort of stuff you see so what does
it say Cliff I think I found your
doppelganger and it's from not
foreign
that's hilarious
(12:52):
to get the legal team on the phone
all right got another doppelganger the
best part is it's probably Canadian
pepper just decided to uh
it's probably Bernie yeah it probably is
burning yeah yeah that makes sense
that's uh that's good
um let's see during doomsday pepper show
(13:15):
um run we would see people walking
around in full camo not So Much Anymore
um yeah the camo thing is something that
I have not really
gotten on board with yeah
um in general like I don't have ammo's
not great man yeah I don't have any
preps it's supposed to be gray man
because it's camo yeah any preps that
(13:36):
are actually
camo no
like my camo is a pea coat in black and
non that's that's camouflage it's a pea
coat with 17 battery chargers if you're
in the woods then the camel's camo but I
think in an urban environment your camo
is blending in and looking like you know
just a urbanite so yeah so if you're in
(14:00):
the woods or something and you're
wearing black
you know I feel like that's also going
to blend in especially at night really
really well if you're moving at night
then black is going to be a pretty
awesome way to blend in with you know
the Black Knight I would think yeah
um more than you know like the green or
the mossy oak or something like that
(14:22):
um if you were hunting then sure are
those colors I only know like 16 colors
and I think you just busted out some
like a mossy oak there's a there's a I
think there's a company I think it's a
and a uh uh it's an outfitting company I
say outfitting because I think they make
clothes and I think they make keys okay
but it's like a hunting it's like
designed for like deer hunters okay
(14:44):
that's that's that look okay and they
have like a certain type of camo that
looks like Photo realistic kind of
um and so like I feel like okay if
you're doing that then fantastic like
that's great camera but if you're
wandering around in the street or you've
got an earthquake or something like that
if you're wearing all camo that is
projecting not gray man and not camo
(15:05):
that is being super obvious that's gonna
be harder like on the title of the video
the uh nice to meet you we're not crazy
but yeah that'll yeah we're a little
crazy if you forget
nice to meet you we're not crazy yeah I
thought about that because a lot of
times I know that for me when I would be
initially when I would be people who
(15:27):
were big into emergency preparedness and
I was not I was like all right you're
all Doomsday Preppers I don't know
what's going on here and like this is
not my scene
now it is my scene and uh so it's trying
to figure out if you're if you're
meeting somebody new
um you know hey I'm not I'm not crazy
like we're not we're not lumping
(15:49):
ourselves into that broader proper
community of we're hiding in the woods
and we're you know wearing camo all the
time like we're just people who plan
ahead and do stuff
um
and yeah please let let our kids hang
out together because they would like to
be friends
yeah I uh someone say how do you have
(16:12):
YouTube been prepping all these yeah it
was a new term for me I know what he's
talking about I just never called it by
its official name I guess so uh on the
mossy oak so uh I'm still convinced that
the best preppers are the ones that you
don't we don't even know about I I don't
think what if you're on YouTube you're
already kind of avoiding like uh you're
putting your face out there I think like
the best of the best Preppers uh are
(16:34):
probably we have no idea who they are
they don't have a YouTube channel or
they don't have a mailing list and stuff
and they're like some super discreet
super low-key don't don't talk about it
it's like Fight Club type thing so yeah
I mean they don't have YouTube channels
and they don't have YouTube channels and
like they're face scanned and there's a
bike and boxer being made of homes
exactly they don't have ai enhanced
(16:55):
images of all of their different you
know looks and things like that yeah I I
I think those are probably the best best
Preppers out there so
um
all right let me just look at the
comments because we have so many people
um
big Ross uh people don't have prepper
pantries they are The Crazy Ones you
know what nowadays yeah yeah I would
(17:16):
totally agree with that yeah okay if you
survived through the last couple of
years like that was like dialing in
prepper pantry if you don't have a
prepper Pantry some some some kind of
masks and toilet paper uh that then
that's just crazy yeah exactly just be
common now I think yeah yeah and you
should watch Tufts video on how much
(17:37):
toilet paper you need for a year or get
up again yeah exactly we gotta bump up
we'll get a little extra view a little
monetization
cycle there for you on that video most
people still aren't uh into the bidet
thing as much but European Europeans
know where it's at so I highly recommend
wonderful Costco purchase because if you
(17:58):
get it and try it out and you don't like
it it's Costco you can take it back now
it might be able to feel a little gross
to take it back but you can totally take
it back to Costco and get your money
back
um they also are on sale there like
every in every monthly cycle there is a
different brand or version of the day
(18:18):
that is on sale so you can totally get
one until we get one up
um I highly recommend it
cool
um
we have three of them now
um we have them in all of the bathrooms
because everyone was yeah um didn't want
it
um yeah I had to take out it from the
main bathroom because it was a problem
so yeah uh Amy said she doesn't look
(18:40):
good in camera
um but she does like solid colors uh
they go into the various camos so Amy
would be advocating then for like
olive gray or tan or something like go
with a color color blocking maybe but
not the full-on
uh you know digitized or the leaf
(19:03):
designs or anything like that
because and I could hear outside I hear
rumbling outside my door so I make it
you're gonna and we are almost at 20
minutes we're almost like right on here
at any point like it could be a disaster
all right what do you mean disaster most
of our shows at all points are a
(19:23):
disaster like I I feel like this is
actually the most organized show you've
had in a very long time it's pretty it's
we're pretty efficient right down to
business
yeah we can just really knock out the
points well I think yeah man you wish uh
I need a picture I need a Bernie or Amy
Amy fresh to come on or all right Bernie
(19:44):
do you want to come on or who wants to
come on I'll throw you an ad and we I'll
I'll send you the link and we can bring
you in
um if if either of you would like to you
are more than welcome to we can do
another 10 or 15 minutes yeah
um
let's see how do I the question is how
do I get the linked
(20:06):
um
to somebody well Bernie his email maybe
Bernie doesn't have textbooks I don't I
think he might yeah yeah Bernie doesn't
have text messaging because he's he's
old school my teacher yeah exactly he's
like he's late 90s yeah
he's not it's not a thing
um Amy is not set up for it at the
(20:27):
moment okay totally fine Amy like
totally fine no need to uh to apologize
or anything like that let me
see if I can get this over to Bernie
well I'll probably let me I'll bow out
gracefully and then uh just so but uh
I'll I'll try to tune in while I'm
driving to the piano lesson I think oh
(20:48):
all right well that would be something
that might be kind of fun we would enjoy
we would enjoy that yeah I'll be a
commenter and then you'll ban me exactly
yeah yeah you're uh 100 garbage okay and
you're done yeah you're done you're dead
to me yeah exactly all right Bernie I
just I sent you a DM and Instagram
because I didn't have a carrier pigeon
and
(21:09):
um my owl is not functioning right now
um I do have like a couple of Hedwig uh
Lego sets I was thinking I should make
one of those and and put those in
um but yeah so Bernie I sent you
um actually no Bernie does have text
messaging because he he he's texting you
(21:34):
um all right so I texted it to him too
all right okay cool well I'm gonna I'm
gonna about before they before I read it
but yeah it's good good talking and I'll
make sure that I'll talk to my boss tell
him hey that I got things to do at 5 30.
yeah exactly yeah yeah come on we got we
got things to do
um but everyone uh I think around stick
around yeah yeah because yeah stay on
(21:55):
the channels that you're on because I
think touch channel will continue to
broadcast even if his camera goes off I
think we'll be good
um so we'll just wait for
Bernie to make it all right I'll slip it
out all right
all right we'll go into that mode uh
(22:16):
yeah I'm hoping that this iPod tele iPad
teleprompter whole setup thing is gonna
work a little bit better
um and I won't be looking down or off to
the side as much
um
so that would be a that would be a good
thing I think for everybody uh you know
more eye contact let you all know that I
see you I hear you
(22:37):
um and by that I'm reading your comments
and things
um
oh now Bernie needs a minute
Bernie we we said we were getting on
like what what are you gonna do you
gotta you gotta go get camera ready I
don't know what's happening
um
all right oh Big Ross moved over to the
the Cascadia dispatch channel that is
fantastic
(22:57):
um if everyone wouldn't mind if you
haven't already hit the like button
um because we we definitely noticed that
when there are more thumbs UPS on the
videos on the streams
um that definitely gets pushed out and
especially in the re-watch and the
replays
um there are more people that that it
gets suggested to so uh if you haven't
(23:18):
already go ahead hit the like button
while we're waiting for Bernie to uh to
join us as well
um big Ross is already
um have you tried the new
oh the new eye contact AI
so I'm so glad you brought that up I
have not tried it I've seen it in
(23:39):
examples and it is crazy how amazing it
is
um I also just as it like I was gonna
make a little video about uh prepping
with chat gbt
um I think I still might do it
um but I I played around with chat gbt
and and asking if some prepping related
questions and things like that and
(23:59):
um it is pretty amazing from that front
there are obviously things it can't do
oh
the man the myth the legend
Bernie has arrived the Apex prepper
has arrived welcome to the party sir hey
can you hear me and I might need to get
a headset I could pretend that I
couldn't hear you and that would be
really funny for everyone else but no I
(24:21):
can totally hear you okay good so
welcome welcome hey everyone I know it
looks good it's been so long since
you've been on a stream it has been a
long time and like my hair you know I
didn't get it ready in time and I
understand you didn't have time to go to
The Stylist the curls are not fully set
we won't judge okay please don't yeah
exactly Amy Amy Says Yes we can totally
(24:44):
hear so so Bernie have you played around
with any of the the AIS
no I haven't I've been thinking about it
um because you know I'm I have this
artsy side to me right but
uh at the same time I'm like uh like
kind of scared when I might find out
(25:05):
[Laughter]
like
where I get in with some of that where
it may put me in a situation like like
man I would be a badass Viking yeah
and then you have to bleach your hair
and you have to grow get away
(25:27):
exactly it's a whole thing I understand
I understand
um it was kind of I got into Chad gbt
and I asked that like give me 30 tasks
to do as a prepping person and I wanted
to compare it against the list that I
had made for my prep for the prep alerts
uh calendar and then for the planner and
(25:48):
stuff that I'm working on and it was
amazing how close it actually came up to
all of the things that like you would
you know you would think people would
know about but obviously you don't
um but just all of the you know check
your fire extinguishers check your
things make sure you have a food plan
find air evacuation points and it just
(26:10):
kept spitting them out and you're gonna
adjust it and be like all right uh which
of these should we use if we're in the
southern states or whatever and it would
change it for weather and all that sort
of stuff it was uh it was pretty crazy
um
I thought it was interesting though
because I asked it to give me I think I
asked it to give me 50. because I was
(26:32):
trying to see okay could you get like a
week like a week well like my the prep
alerts calendar I've got a different
task for every week
um some of them are overlapping you know
like redoing bug out bags and some of
that sort of stuff but for the most part
there's probably 40 what I need to do
tasks
um and then for the the new planner that
(26:53):
I'm putting together it's it's got
similar things
um and it came up with like 37.
and I was like give me 10 more and it
was like no I have no more
so no more no more were cut off yeah
yeah exactly exactly
um
let's see
(27:14):
um oh yeah twins
yeah modern day forever wow twins he's
not far off I mean you have more hair
than I do I'm kind of jealous well you
know I I it's on the sides it just it
just relocates from different places to
different places
um so part of my my uh hair processary
(27:37):
right now apparently is isopropyl
rubbing alcohol
for what
why do you need wait is this like when
when tup pulls up a chainsaw from next
to his desk and you're like why do you
have a fire and uh hiring no way I have
a fire hydrant wrench and a chainsaw
in your office
(27:59):
I'm trying to think why did I have
this rubbing alcohol
I know I was cleaning something
and you breathed in too much and you've
forgotten the last three days that's
what has happened
you caught me
all right I'm just I'm looking at my
background I was like oh yeah I totally
(28:20):
forgot I have hey look I have like a
little I do have a little proper square
right there oh there you go I appreciate
this I've got my I got my Transformers
one okay got some berryon brand yeah and
then I got some Marvel stuff down here
got a mess over there yeah
(28:42):
all right you have you know what you
have you have a a prep talk live
approved background that's what is
happening back yes yes not really well
um so Chuck says that he tried chat gbt
and it is scary good
yes uh okay it is have you gotten on
have you played with it yet no no
I like I said scared yeah you should
(29:06):
totally everyone should get on and just
see what it comes up with
um and I'll take your word of course
concerning is like what that means for
like
people with certain types of jobs and
things like
um I've seen a lot of people kind of
break down what chat gbt actually like
can process and what types of outputs it
(29:29):
can do and inputs it can handle and
stuff like that
so it's still a ways from like totally
replacing all human beings
um but it's like a really really amazing
version of Google uh from like search
like you just go and ask it like a
regular question and Google would maybe
give you some responses and chat gbt
(29:49):
will summarize those responses and be
like these are the most important things
you should know you're like fantastic
all right I'm gonna give it a shot see
how it goes apparently it passed the
accounting uh like the accounting uh
uh what's it called boards to like be a
CPA if that's the medical boards it
(30:11):
passed the bar exam and it passed the
MBA exams and I think it was University
of Pennsylvania uh Wharton
um so
um so can you ask it to represent you
if you needed a lawyer
(30:32):
um or if you needed a second opinion on
a medical yeah so I like I don't know if
it it obviously does not carry the same
level of like experience and
um real world
uh just experience and like liability
coverage and like if something happened
(30:53):
you could like go to it
um but it's an interesting I think for
people who are used to going to like
getting their medical degrees from
and searching things up on Google and
coming up with answers I think it's
going to be interesting to see how they
transition to doing that in chat gbt
um
(31:13):
and what the responses come back from
chat gbt on some of those similar
questions that normally Google would
give you seven or eight different
article results chat gbt is just going
to give you like a bullet pointed
summary of of what you wanted
okay
(31:34):
um but yeah it's uh it's interesting and
it just like I mean there's so many of
them there's the one that does the
images
um
it's just it's crazy all of the all of
the different stuff so and it's the chat
gbt open AI yeah
yeah
(31:54):
if you can get in it's also they have
like load uh uh load limits on it
because it's currently free
um
um and it'll take a little while before
it like there's a spot for you to get in
and and use it but Pony girl's here yeah
Pony girls are she's a little late too
(32:18):
she's later than top I mean that's kind
of yeah
um Pony girl
um not sure if you know top has changed
a little bit
um he's finally gotten rid of the Hat he
was like you know what it's time to time
to go
um lost the ability to play the sacks
yeah exactly exactly
(32:38):
um speaking of and we can talk about it
now that he's not here yeah have you
watched his video
his latest
it's it's fantastic he's very good he's
very tall yeah you know I saw him alive
you know it was the first time I met him
when so
a lot of you guys may or may not know
this and how I met tup the the first
(33:00):
time I met him
he had put uh the the flashlight
foreign
the flashlight he'd put this up for um a
giveaway free giveaway
and it was his son that ended up picking
(33:22):
my
my comment and it was because of my
gamer tag it was at the time uh bionic
Madness
so
I
he saw uh he contacted me he's like hey
you won you know and so I I contacted
and I was like dude I've been following
you for years and I started you know I
(33:44):
went what we were talking about earlier
I went full prepper
on him and he was just like oh my God we
got to talk so he calls me and then we
we had in like an hour-long conversation
just about
like we both went full prepper I mean it
(34:04):
was fantastic so
then
a show uh in Portland in downtown
Portland uh this was before all the
craziness right yeah and so we decided
to meet downtown and he invited me to a
show he's like hey I'm playing downtown
Let's uh you know come and I got you
(34:28):
tickets you can come and watch and like
sweet great so
we did
two videos
on that ended up on his channel one was
for the documentation
uh and the other one was for uh digital
uh downloads and whatever but it was
(34:51):
also that same night that he had a show
and I think I was out till like one
o'clock in the morning
back in the old days back when you could
do that back when I was young yeah
exactly and yes and we uh we hung out
most of the night and then we talked
(35:12):
more prepping and whatnot but yeah so
yeah that first night that I met him I
got to watch him play live and yeah that
was a great show so I have not gotten to
see him live uh I I met him because I
messaged him on Instagram I think it was
on Instagram
uh I was driving up and down uh up and
(35:33):
back to Seattle every week for a client
that I was working with and I I figured
out that he lived in the Seattle area
and was like Hey the next time I'm I'm
up there can I take you to to grab a
drink or something and just thank you
for you know giving me the information
to get started on this whole thing
(35:54):
um and uh and yeah and that that was
that's where our one picture together
comes from is from that and then the
rest is history at this point we were
like all right at some point we need to
get together and take more pictures
because you know we need better
thumbnails
yeah exactly well I mean next time I
have a picture with him I am definitely
(36:15):
standing on like three or four steps
because like we were way the camera was
way back in order to get me into the
picture and hit because
for all of you that don't realize on how
big he's seven foot four
at least 320 pounds like you would not
expect it from him so he actually come
(36:38):
up with the idea back you know a couple
years ago it's like I should dress up as
Han Solo and he should dress up as a
Wookie and it would be perfect I think
yes but I think you should dress up at
The Wookie and he should dress up on
solo I think that would be even better
or
(36:58):
we you could dress up as Han Solo
get him to dress up as The Wookie and I
could be the Ewok
okay I like that idea that you know what
that's a much better plan yeah much
better plan I like that very much I
thought you were going to tell me to
dress up as Leia and I was gonna be like
I don't look as great in the gold bikini
(37:18):
that's just yeah
that's the thing I didn't want to see
though so yeah College none of none of
us yeah
that would be fantastic
um
has anybody else in the chat is there
anybody else who's actually met tup
(37:39):
now that we're all just a great question
fanboying over top now that he's gone
he's probably in the car just loving it
just eating it up just telling his kids
his wife like see look at these these
these screwed up everything exactly the
last 20 minutes we haven't talked about
prepping at all instead we talked about
Wookies Han Solo Ewoks and now R2D2 yeah
(38:03):
for everyone who has been to our show
before again that would not be a
surprise to anyone no that that is what
we would that that's what we would talk
about the only thing that's really
missing is uh we haven't done a poop
joke yet
well look it'll come out eventually
thank you Bernie thank you for saving
thank you for saving the show
(38:26):
now that we got all that out of the way
yeah exactly now that we got that
covered
oh my goodness so okay I suppose we
should get to some of this is he real or
just AI you know
he seemed real but it is very possible
that he was some sort of like a life
model decoy
I think I think that's possible
(38:49):
um
And So It Begins yeah yeah
[Laughter]
that is that is pretty fair that is
pretty fair
um all right so I'm liking this I'm
liking this whole being able to swap out
so what we need I think going forward
um if other if anyone in the chat
(39:09):
because right now there's I don't know
there's a few people who are who are in
the chat live right now and most of them
are are our usual crew if any of you
would be interested in pinch hitting as
a as a guest commentator or jumping in
or anything like that
um send me a DM on Instagram
(39:31):
um with uh your email address or contact
information or something
um and then what we'll do or you can
even just say hey on Instagram like hey
I'd be interested and then I can send
you the the link via that and that way
um because sometimes we know that we
talk about the fact that like
we're not always on time sometimes
(39:51):
especially with tough schedule if his
meeting runs long or something or my
meetings run long or whatever you know
things can kind of shake out at the last
minute so sometimes we don't know
actually when we're gonna start
um for real until 20 minutes before we
actually hit the live button so if there
are
um if there's anybody who would who
(40:12):
would be up for jumping in
um so that if if I can't make it you can
jump on what's up if tup can't make it
you jump on with me
um we might also just do some of these
where top and I maybe start and kick it
off and then we bring in some people as
we go
um but it'd be great to know who would
be up for that who has a camera set up
or not a camera setup but just the
(40:34):
ability to jump on to to a video
conference
um
that would be fantastic
um we've gotten lots of friends
Pony girl pigs fly and uh Amy yeah but I
would also say prairie prepping Chuck
always has great comments Dr Dave is on
here all the time
(40:55):
um there are there are lots of The Usual
Suspects on here
um that I think I'm just going through
and finding everybody modern day prepper
100
um big Ross is always involved
um this Apex prepper guy he just is not
now that guy's a joke I don't know yeah
(41:16):
exactly I saw him on tough streams for a
while I am I think that's what ended tub
streams to be honest was Apex prepper no
kidding man that guy I swear family yeah
like I say some people's kids
some people's kids some people's kids
um so yeah so I would say yeah anybody
who's interested I know we're going to
(41:37):
reach out to a couple of other people
that we know and see who might be up for
like a more scheduled appearance
um over the next couple months but um
having some some a little bit of a list
of people who could jump on I think
would be fantastic so I think that as we
as we approach 6 30 uh I know I need to
go and do dinner
(42:00):
um Bernie I appreciate you jumping on
problem pinch hitting as usual you did a
fantastic job we only lost you know 3
000 simultaneous viewers during your
portion of the show yeah that's expected
though yeah yeah
you know like to be honest I was
expecting a 10 000 viewer loss so we're
(42:21):
we're in better shape yeah yeah really
you held the audience which was
fantastic do my best definitely do my
best all right everybody well thanks
