Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome Prepper's, New Preppers, old Patriots, and sheep Dogs. This
is bonds I Prepping. I'm Bondsie and welcome to the Bunker.
I know, I know the shows are getting a little
sparse here, only two shows this month, you know, but
we've been we've all been crazy busy. Yea ox You've

(00:21):
been out of town doing a lot of work, which is, hey,
you got to make that money to be able to prep. Yeah,
you know, that's one of the big things. You've been
having birthdays, you're like, daughters and everything else. Yeah, I mean,
you know, me, I've we've been well, like you see
some of the work that I've been done. I finally
got some of that that wall trim.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Done along the wall. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
So I mean there's a lot more coming, a lot
of stuff being done, and uh, we're even gonna have
some major construction going on here in the near future.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
And we may even keep you guys updated on some
of that here and.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
There or maybe not.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Well, you know, I mean, I mean, putting an addition
on a house is nothing that people don't do, sure exactly,
you know, just because we want a little extra room,
because the room that twitch has right now, you know,
it's a standard ten by ten, you know, like bedroom

(01:21):
Jelso yeah, you know, yeah, I want to upsize him.
You know, he's gonna get a slightly larger you know room.
It's gonna be.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
I think it's like fifteen by eight, I think is
what it ends up being.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
It's a little more narrow, but it's a lot longer, yeah,
you know, and he's gonna have his own like little
den and like kitchenette area, you know, so I mean,
you know, and then an extra little pantry area. So
I mean for more pantry room, because I don't care
who you are, no matter how big you make your
pantry enough, you need a bigger pantry.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Especially if you live this lifestyle.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, it's like like it fills up fast and then
you go damn.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah, and then you start stacking shit in front of
stuff and then you're like, dude, I know I had
one of those where the heck did I put it?
It's behind you find it like three years later. And
luckily our stuff lasts like twenty five years, so it's
not that big of a deal. But now actually needed it.
I needed it then.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Now actually we are going to be breaking out some
of our old stuff. Some of the oldest stuff that
I purchased was in twenty sixteen. Some of the sam
Andy Freeze diet dehydrated twenty twenty five year food, So
it's on year nineteen, you know, And we've bought a

(02:38):
lot of other stuff since, so you know, it's it's
time we're gonna start using some of that, mainly for
taste testing, just for you know, yeah, just so we
know and how to use some of this stuff in
like recipes, because I mean, I've tasted stuff before.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
But when the time comes, it's not you're not going
to care.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
I know, I know.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
I mean I hear people that say, oh, I can't
eat that stuff. Man, when you're wry enough, you're gonna
eat rats, You're gonna eat your neighbor.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
You're gonna do it.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Everything surve I mean, it's been proven historically. Unfortunately, when
people are starving to.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Death, society goes real quick.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
They will do the unthinkable, you know, which we hope
it of course never comes to that. And speaking of that,
I heard a term the other day.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
And I heard one too, but I don't care to
repeat it.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
I'm going to take the nomenclature now for myself. I
am a apocalyptimist. Say that five times.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Okay, ye, friend, Okay.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
A apocoly optimist is someone that knows the apocalypse is coming,
that shit's gonna hit the fan, but we know we're
gonna be okaypoca apocalypse optimist, apocaly optimist, you know.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
I was.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
I saw that. I was like, you know, that's actually
kind of good, you know, yeah, so but yeah trying.
It took me a while to get the word right.
You know, I'd have practiced it for a while. Now
I can say it's smoothly, but at first it was like, yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Like hip hopot of it.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Nope, So yes, it is myself, BONSI. We've got booboo
in the house and we have ox he. It is
uh October the twenty sixth of twenty twenty five. We're
at about uh sixteen hundred hours. We're a little earlier
than normal, I suppose because you got plans.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
It's sixteen twenty.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Oh yeah it is.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Actually no plans, just again getting ready to hit the
highway again tomorrow morning early. One of those deals that
I know how things go when we don't get started
until six or seven, and then it's eleven o'clock. Oh yeah,
and then I'll tell you right now, four o'clock comes way, I.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Know, yeah, I'm up at four and I go, yeah,
And I got blood tests tomorrow. I took my first
round about a week or so ago for my uh
my family doctor. And everything's looking awesome, you know again,
because I take care.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
I really do take care of myself.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
I eat right, carnivore, take all kinds of vitamins and supplements.
You know, yes, we drink, but we really don't drink
that much, not like we used to when we were
young and stupid and we you know, we drank for
a purpose to get fed up all the time.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
You know, we don't do that anymore. You know.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
It's just you know what about.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
That's so fun?

Speaker 3 (06:03):
But yeah, you know, I mean, so those came out good.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Now this next out of blood work is for doctor
k our in house acupuncturists and herbalist you know, and
uh you know, so so.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
She's gonna tell you need more Getko in your life
and astral Ganda.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Maybe yeah, but but I I already take a dumbloaded
that stuff and my numbers are good. So that's why
though tonight, yes, BONDSI is taking it easy. I'm only
having one or two beers and that's it.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
It started with the one. Now he's saying, by the
the night, homie, we were like four five in the morning.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
I have to They're gonna drop a lot. I cannot
be loaded. You can metabolize one beer an hour. That
is asking me how I know that.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Is not that?

Speaker 1 (06:50):
That is?

Speaker 3 (06:51):
That is very great.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Now there's another thing that I came across online is
like one of the uh Second Amendment Mike drops of
the day in a way. You know, my doctor asked
if I had any guns at home. I replied, I
have guns in your office.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
I saw the other day, and I've outwept myself. I
have literally been in the doctor's office for and they're like,
do you have any guns at home? And I read
I saw that. Little me I'm like, yep, been there,
done that. Tear to the eye.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
So now, luckily most of again, that's where it's so
important that you're if you're in the prepper, Second Amendment
patriot culture, that you seek out like minded people in
business as well, be it your subcontractors that do work
on your house, or your doctors and various things like that.

(07:52):
So like both of my dentists, because I have a
regular dentist and then the gum you know, surgery guy
and all that, and you go to a dentist and
they're both preppers, especially the guy that does the like
gum work.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
He has a farm up in uh.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
An undisclosed location in North Florida.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Well not North Florida, but just on the others in
Lake County, Okay. You know, he's got some property. He's
got cattle too, and everything, and we always talk guns.
He knows I carry there, you know, and everything.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
All the time.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
And he's the one that's always as I leave here,
take some more samples and he's giving me those like
little tubes of toothpaste and mouthwash and dental flaws. Just
add this to the stockpile, like yeah, thank you, sir.
And then my regular dentist him too. He drives a
big old jacked up truck. And you know, you know
he knows I carry you know, yeah, I mean he
actually when he was like working on me, like when

(08:48):
i'm he didn't know that I had it on because
I used to always carry it in my sling bag.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
You know.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Now I actually like wear it and he leaned across
me for something and he felt it and he just
kind of smiled.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
He he was kind.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Of like, Okay, you know, like that's cool. Doctor k again,
she's you know, she's uber cool with it, and so
is this new family doctor that I have. So it's
like it's really important if you can't because like we
were talking, there are some of those doctors. Do you

(09:21):
have any guns in the home? And if you say yes,
oh dude, they yes, they will give you a world
of trouble.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yep, yeah, huh why because they can't.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Bro. That happened to me back Probably.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
It's none of a damn business.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
But oh well, I understand, but that happened like fifteen
years ago.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
They call me that mental bro.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
They will start all kinds of trouble in your life. Yeah,
but yeah, like fifteen years ago, that happened to me.
They're like, do you have any guns in your house?
I'm like, uh yeah, uh oh dude, And then of
course they want to be like, well, how much do
you drink and how do you are you ever do
you ever have thoughts of harming yourself? For other yeps? Listen,
if I had those thoughts with the number of guns

(09:59):
I have, they wouldn't remain thoughts right, And.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
Of course, if you have kids in are they properly stored?

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Are they that you know?

Speaker 1 (10:08):
It's just like so it's usually unless you know that
they're like minded, just say no, I don't have any No,
I don't Just you know, do you ever feel sad? Nope, Nope,
not at all. I'm super happy all the time. Because
all it takes is one time your mom dies and
you talk to the doctor, you know, and you're feeling sad.

(10:30):
Duh away, you know you're gonna feel sad for at
least a few weeks, you know what I mean, if
not longer.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
But they use that against you.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
I mean right there, Oh he said he's feeling sad
his mom died, therefore that means he's depressed. And oh no,
he has firearms called the sheriff red flag. Bam, bam bam.
I mean, that's what they do. That's what they do.
It's crazy. That's why it's so important to freak out
like minded people to do business with, you know. I mean,

(11:03):
I know sometimes it's hard, especially if you've been with
the same doctor for years and years. But when the
world we live in now, it's really imperative that you
try and do that. Halloween is coming.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
You know, kids are trigger treating right now. Actually they
are at one of the churches.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Oh okay, I was about to say that's a little Yeah,
we don't really do Halloween here, you know, either, because
of our religious beliefs and everything. I mean, I don't
slam other people if they want to do it. I mean,
I like the whole costume thing. You know, I have
no problem going to costume parties and everything. You know,
I mean, hell, a little role play, you know, there's

(11:44):
nothing wrong with that. You know, doctor, you know, you
know cop inmate, prisoner, you.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
Know, vampire. You can suck it all out, you know.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
I keep touching your knee.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Geez, bro, I'm just gonna sit here and take it
like man.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
I mean, because we've uh we've added a new a
new seating arrangement in here. So instead of being in
the sports chairs that we had now it's more like
sports chairs.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah. When we had the outdo the uh not camping
but the metal foldouts, yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
And the like gaming chairs that we had in here.
Two for a while, I decided to bring in a
casting couch, so to speak. It's camouflage, so it matches.
It's it's not military camouflage. It's hunting camouflage. It's like
mons or something like that or real you know, it's
like one of those. But it matches the motif in here. Yeah,

(12:43):
so you know, I figured why not. And it's to
hide the stains because this was Twitch's sleeping place because
it folds out to a full bed.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
But so it's not actually on the it's inside.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Open it up the ghosts of all his would be
children talking about Halloween, you know.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Now, Twitch, this last weekend, this yeah, last weekend, he
went to his first sweet sixteen birthday.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
Party for a female friend of his.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Oh yeah, and full suit and everything because it was
very formal. Uh, it was down at Bock Towers. I mean,
the parents spent butt load. It was like seventy people there,
and I really didn't want to drive all the way
down to Bok Tower and have to hang up for
four or five hours and bring them back. So I
found out that the girl was getting a limo for

(13:45):
her and and the court. Because you know, it's sweet sixteen.
Some people treat it like a wedding, you.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Know, So was it a sweet sixteen or like a
King Sania.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
It was a sweet sixteen, you know, but it's but
it seemed they didn't like a like a Quinsa, you know.
So I was like, Jaden, just you know, just ask.
I mean, hey, it doesn't hurt to ask. Ask if
we if I drop you off at her place, if
you could slide in the like limo. And he was

(14:19):
like okay, and he did and she said yes. So
I was able to say yeah. So I'm like, see,
Papa's here for you. I'm like everything I can, but
you gotta seal the deal.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Myself, you know.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
And he had a great time though, and he looked
really dapper. He looked really good and you know, it's
like gray suit and since he's uh trimmed down because
he's been training and doing stuff. Like when I bottomed
his suit, I made sure it was tapered and everything.
It looked really good on him. And he got his
hair cut fade all of like like really good nice

(14:57):
and so all the other guys that were going not
in the court. The court was dressed a certain way
for that, but the guys had to be all in
these just you know, gray suits, black shoes, white shirts.
The father supplied these cool purple ties. So I get
there and I see some of his friends. They're you know,
like three three of the other like main one. So

(15:18):
there's there's like four of them. Man, they all looked good.
But I was like, damn, it looks like a K
pop boy band. And they all just kind of posed.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
You know that.

Speaker 4 (15:29):
There goes boys, the back end boys.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
What okay, back boys.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
And the last thing is the chit chat the hummers
back on the road.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Thank you boo. It's it's it's running really good. The
light didn't come on until yesterday.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
The light.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Yeah again, it's running beautiful.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
It's probably two censor or the fuel cap because it's yeah,
it's one of those myth. But it's been running awesome.
Primo starting right up and everything. And because you know
it no longer has certain parts on the exhaust.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
It doesn't matter if it's for off road use only.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
It's so it's yes, it's a farm truck completely exactly.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
So you know it's a bit louder than it was.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Well, it'd be quieted out a lot if somebody fixed
that exhaust leak.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
Well, yeah, we still got to do that.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
To dude, that guy. It sounds good.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
It cut him off, and then he put him put
back on. Yeah, I'm like, okay, I didn't have time
to like come over here and completely like.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Do it, but yeah, it sounds good.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
We'll get it.

Speaker 4 (16:45):
We'll get it done.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
I rolled up next to a challenger on the way
to work and he was rumbling, and you know, it
was rumbling, you know, and he kind of like looked like.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
The hell, what the hell sounding like that.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
You know, I'm just.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Gonna like, you know, so it was cool.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
He smiled.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
You know.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
I kind of miss having my old formula listen.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
That was my favorite part. Like back when I was younger, Dude,
I'd go get a truck, take it to wherever the
exhaust showup. They'd be like, what kind of mufflers do
you want on them? Like mufflers for what? Yet? Straight
pipe out the back, homie, Are you sure? Yep? I
want to hear that freaking V eight rumble bud.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
And when you come off the gas fast enough, like
you get that like back pressure.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Dude, I used to love that.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
It's not good for your.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
So no, it's no, it's not.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
And I actually blew like one of my uh thrush
road Runner like glass packs back in the day, exploded it.
Oh yeah, because I like did that? I whoam came
off and it looked like in uh freaking like Looney
Tunes when you know, like Elmer Fudd would go to
shoot bugs Bundy eat stick his fingers and it would flower.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
That's what the glass back.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
I laughed. My a dude, funny story, real quick, keep
it short. One of my trucks, it was the Ford
V ten. Yeah, and I took it and I made
a muffler for it. It was just a little uh
flow master, single chamber race muffler. It was one inlet,
one outlet, and I'm like, well, I want dual exhaust.
I'm like, fucking, I'm gonna cut the back off this muffler,

(18:31):
ball a plate onto it, bought some bunks into it,
and no, I'll have duels. So I stuck it on
there real quick one night, put the freaking clamp on there.
I had to go to a funeral the next day.
Pull up to the name funeral. Of course my truck
is like screaming loud. I'm like, sorry, y'all, whatever I
left out, I made it right in front of a
semi police department where they got them speed humps in

(18:52):
the road. Apparently I didn't tighten the clamp down tight enough.
Some bits fell off right in front of KPD bro.
I run it over. I run the buffler overde the road.
I grabbed the dang thing. It's hot as ship. So
I'm sitting out there with like two pairs of channel locks.
Grabbed the two outlets, throw it in the back seat
of the truck, and then of course I had to
drive like the next six miles home. Wow, no exhaust

(19:15):
at all. Like it literally dumped out right under the cab.
It was loud as ship.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
Yeah nice.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Oh dude, it's didn't beatings, they didn't rumble. No, it's
sounded like you had some pissed off hornets in a
paper bag. Yeah, really, dude, it was so god dang loud. Oh.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Now, we had a question come into Saint Cloud Prepping
and Surviving Cool. Joe uh wrote, who is running CB
comms and wet channel?

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Right?

Speaker 1 (19:45):
So I had to chime in, you know, said, well, now,
most preppers don't run CBS as their main comm.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
System, right, It's a good backup though.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yeah, uh yes, many do have them, but they are
usually two crowded. You know all those like A channels
unless you have a single side band and you pick
a weird off channel. But most preppers and patriots run
run some type of ham or short wave like a
bo fang yaesu you know some of those, or like
what's this this like new one that we got here.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
Y t quy t and this one works really really
good to.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
I don't know, because you have more privacy, more abilities,
and the most range.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
You know.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
As for frequency, well, each group sets, you know, sets
their own frequencies for of course security purposes. You know,
you don't sit there and tell everybody, hey, we're on
one exactly. I'm gonna keep touching that knee, I swear.
In my opinion, if you're looking to communicate with outside groups,

(20:52):
you need the trifecta. Have three radios, a g r
MS bay station, a single sideband CB BAS station, and
then you're hamming and a short wave base station. You
would use the ham and short wave for internal comms
with your group or other established groups that you know

(21:13):
and trust. Then you would scan GRMS and CB for
those that are not with existing groups, people that are
not that well set up or don't know any better.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Those that are.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
You know, like most non preppers or newbies in the
like movement will have the jrms because they could buy
them at any sporty good store, Walmart, and that's their
first like, oh wow, yeah, let's buy these comms, you know,
which is not necessarily a bad.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Thing, but you know, it's funny because if you get
to looking at those a lot of them, you know,
where you get like the two work site radios whatever
they are, you know channels want one through twenty five
or one through twenty seven or whatever. You can pick
up every one of those on your friggin balfang. Oh
yeah right, so, and I hate to see, especially like

(22:02):
in the prepper community, people are gonna spend you know,
fifty bucks on the two packs of this radio. That really, dude,
you could go spend an extra like ten bucks and
go get a two pack of balfangs. It'll do the
same thing. Program it with your body and it'll do
way more too, and your range is so much further, right, right,

(22:26):
But for simplicity's sake, those work site radios are.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Yeah, I mean it's better than nothing, you know, for
your family so on and so forth. So I mean,
like if you have a dedicated COMMS room. Let's say
for your compound. That's why I'm saying, have your HAM
setup that's for internal and the other trusted groups that

(22:51):
you know that are far away, but have the single
sideband based station a GRMS base station, so you could
scan because you may hear some new that doesn't know,
you know, his butt from his head that you know, hey,
I need help my car broke down out here whatever
blah blah blah. You know, then you you know, you

(23:11):
could you know, say hey, okay, you know, yeah, you know,
like we'll, you know, we'll send over a spotder to
you know, see if everything's on the up and up,
and if it is, then we'll come out. That's when
five minutes later, he sees a drone fly over, you know,
and he waves and you scandy area, make sure you

(23:31):
don't see anything freaky going on. Then you send your
you know, q RT out there he to, you know,
to assist assist. H yeah, I mean you know they
may need help, they will assist.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
They may. There's nothing wrong with helping people.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Know exactly. That's why.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah, well that's why you a you send the drone
up first to kind of get an overview. And too.
You send a qRT out there that's armed and like
ready to go, you know, you know you don't. You
don't just send Cooter with his pickup drug out there.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Ro coonter take care of all of them.

Speaker 4 (24:20):
Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, but you know, like buy himself out there, you know,
and where he can get you know, find out that
it's a girl that stuck and she uses her feminine
wiles to.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
Buddies are inside the bush.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
So Joe, yes, so uh CB if it's a regular CB.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Man, those channels are so so freaking cluttered now, I'd say,
you know, if you have a single side band, you know,
that's where you've got that channel A, B and C.
So it's one hundred and twenty channels. Then you know,
pick one of the you odd channels like C twenty three.
You know, something that's you know that not many people

(25:05):
are gonna be on. Keep it a secret, you know,
and then of course you have to tell all your
peeps and stuff, you know, like to be a but
like ox is sync for just a little bit more money,
you know, get a nice bow fang or.

Speaker 4 (25:20):
They're like the cheaper ones like thirty bucks on. Yeah,
they're Amazon actually.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
That's what I'm saying. It's like you can get the
whole comes with like an extra battery for like thirty bucks.
Battery chargers of them.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
Are like forty five bucks right now on Amazon.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Yeah, that New well, the New UV thirty two. Yeah,
that eight like we got. It's a freaking dude, I
think it's a dang twelve WAT. I think, yeah, yeah,
I think it's a twelve WAT. But that the battery.
It came with three antennas, a charger, friging the games
for it, and the five bucks. Yeah, the Kaydex holster

(25:55):
with the Katex Holster, it was like forty five dollars really.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yeah, oh yeah shit, yeah, send me the link to
that one.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
No, it was a really good thing. I found one
well because I ended up on our last little FTX. Yeah,
I ended up breaking my balfang. I broke the antentna
off of it, Like dude, it got cold on my
gun or my sling or freaking something I don't even know.
And somebody's like, hey, bro, here's your antenna back. And
I was like, oh shit, I'm like all right, Well,

(26:24):
even with no antenna, it was still good enough for
like localized commps it would still yep. Yeah. Well I
got back to the house and I looked at it,
and I'm like, all right, well, I'll just replaced the antenna.
So I got looking around online. All the antennas were
like fifteen bucks, eighteen bucks, twenty four bucks, and I'm like, wait,

(26:44):
I just saw this kit that came with three antennas.
So I was like, I'll buy this for forty two
bucks and then I'll take one of those other antennas
and put it on. This bro works like a freaking champ.
Now I got two freaking radios. Awesome, I've and it
only an extra twenty dollars.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yeah, exactly. So I mean, you know, prepping does take money,
but it doesn't have to cheap.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
It doesn't have to break the bang.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
No, you can do stuff really really inexpensively, if you you.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Know, sometimes it requires little ingenuity. Yes, yes, yes, that's
part of but that's part of prepping.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Yeah, okay, let's move on to World War three three
three three three, the Trump and Trump and Trump putin
Trump Wow, Trump and put I'm shipping them.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Now what is it? Oh man, I'm telling you right now.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Some it has been canceled there's there was a Russian
doomsday plane exercise and large Russian nukes exercise including all
three legs, air, sea and mobile you know, you know, land,
you know, and everything doing major drills and tests and
so on and so forth, which I mean, it's not

(28:01):
super uncommon for countries to do that. But when you
start putting everything together that's going on, it does start
to make you just kind of, you know, get a
little twitchy, kind of like you know.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
You know, yeah, I get it.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Oh one more thing about Twitter. Sorry, no, no, it
has nothing to do with pigs. While he was getting
ready for the Sweet sixteen, Uh, he's all dressed, and
the wife was like, we did forget to get him something,
you know, and he looks at her like what, I

(28:41):
think I got everything. We forgot to get your condoms, right,
you know, And of course, you know, he looks at
her like, mom, you know one of those. And then
I feel like, I said, why do we have to
get him condoms? Just go to the first ace, get
those little finger cuts, you know figures, And he looked
at me like if you of course, the wife is

(29:05):
busting laughing, you know, like, oh, you're evil, and I'm
like you started it. So, yeah, we're bad parents. He's
gotta get I mean, look, if he's going to be
part of this group, he's got to get a thick skin.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, because we ras each other hardcore.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
If if you can't handle you know, getting you know,
getting teased and then you know it's just not hip
hooked and prodded all kinds of things. But okay, that
felt okay. So now yeah, so you know, of course,

(29:46):
like Russia is doing all kinds of things there.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
They just called up another massive amount of like reservists.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
You know, aren't they running out of people yet? Well? Right,
my god.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
But see they're pulling now, they're pulling convicts out of prisons.
They're getting guys from Yeah, they're getting guys from North Korea,
from Kazakhstan, from you know, from all the reasons they're
pulling from all the outlying you know, just to try
to throw meat into the grinder, which is you know,

(30:25):
whether that they're are enemy or not, you know, just
the fact of human beings being thrown into a meat
grinder for.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
Political reasons on either side is.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
It is a sad thought, you know what I mean,
You know, I mean, because they have kids, they have parents,
they have sisters and brothers.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
You know, it's.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
And nine times out of ten, you know, the people
fighting actually fighting in the war have nothing against the
other side.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
They're just being told what to.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
Do, you know.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
I mean it's like you see it all the time.
Actually with the Great Drone footage, you know that they have,
you know, you see you see some of them like
you know, like surrendering just kind of like look, I
don't want to fight, yeah, putting it down, you know,
like you know, so it's like, I mean, yeah, it's just.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
It sucks.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
But we did have.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Just a couple of days ago that like Amazon Web Service,
uh like went down for all those companies. Yeah, all
the companies that use AWS, the Amazon Web Services, and
there's some huge companies you know that do and they

(31:44):
still don't know why it happened or how it happened.
They're still trying to figure it out. Amazon Web Services,
one of the world's most critical cloud infrastructure providers, has
begun do we cover after an outage earlier on October
twentieth caused major disruptions across dozens of popular platforms, apps,
and games. The outage beginning early Monday morning, rippled through

(32:05):
major consumer and enterprise platforms. About three hours after the
adage began, Amazon reported the service was starting to recover.
It wasn't until around six pm that the company reported
services returned to normal operations, which is bullshit because about
two days afterwards they were still having issues. And again

(32:27):
what we've been saying, these are all they're testing to
see what they can mess with. They're getting ready for
the big boom when they hit everything at once and
they don't have to take everything down, man, I mean,
just even taking thirty forty fifty percent of stuff down
is going to throw the West into chaos, complete chaos.

(32:50):
I mean, imagine going to the ATM and it says nothing,
it's not working, or even if it is working, it
says your account has no money.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
It's pretty ripped the damn thing on the wall.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Or you know, like what happened with with the iPhones.
Uh a few months ago, all of a sudden, all
the iPhones went down. You know, it's just all of
a sudden, there's no communications, there's no this, there's no
that it's gonna happen for us. So that's why you've
got to get ready.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Listen, just go get t mobile and uh, you really
won't have to worry about it because your service is
gonna suck so bad. Anyways, it doesn't really matter. It's
like you don't even have any man.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Whoever couple has been like this, yeah, and and they
keep saying, oh, we don't know my wife's phones. She
has both an iPhone and a uh Galaxy, and they're
they're both acting up. You know, she's been having issues
with both. Now, my my little flip has been working

(33:58):
pretty good lately. You know, I've only dropped a couple calls.
But but but her phones have been just like left
and right.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
You know now in the area, I know you've been
seeing the five G like short little towers.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
Yeah, I've been going up. Someone's got to do something
about that.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
But take a page out of what they're doing in
Europe when they keep popping up five G towers and
uh security cameras all of a sudden, the like next
day they end up vandalized and destroyed.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
I don't know, the safety cameras in the parking lots,
all the blue lights their towers. Yep, who else is
watching that?

Speaker 2 (34:45):
Oh? Man?

Speaker 1 (34:46):
So yeah, folks, get ready for those kind of things.
Because it is it is coming. Make sure you have
cash on hand if you can. I understand not everyone has,
you know, a lot of extra cash, but anything even
if you just pull a few hundred dollars and keep
it now so you can get gas or you can
get a couple of things.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
By the way, can I point out that not so
long ago, you and I had a discussion on the show.
I don't remember if you were here or not for this,
but we were talking about gold and silver.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I was gonna get it out.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
The gold is damn near forty five hundred dollars an ounce.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
YEP, and silver peak the other day at fifty one.
It pulled back to forty eight. But yeah, gonna continue going.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
It's one of both of those medals are on a
really strong run right now.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
And why does that happen?

Speaker 1 (35:33):
Usually inflation inflation, uh, unstable economies sure, and prospective war.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Yeah, those are the three main reasons.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
But think about that, not a year ago to maybe
two years ago. Let's le let's say two years ago,
gold was sitting at two thousand dollars an ounce. Silver
was down around twenty twenty eight. Yeah, it was like
twenty eight bucks. But had they listened yep. And now,
don't get me wrong, I understand two thousand dollars to

(36:05):
buy in for an ounce of gold is a lot
of money.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
That's why both prepers do silver.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Right. But had you bought that two years ago, you
had had one hundred and what fifty return on investment.
I don't know if many other things have a reternal
on investment like that. I'm just saying, I've been in
the stock market for a long time, bro, and if
I can get fifteen percent a year, I am real
to it.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Yeah, And the beauty of gold and silver is unlike
stocks and bonds.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
It can never go down to zero.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
It can lose value, yes, sure, but it'll always be
worth something something.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
The stock is imaginary papers anyways, the company goes out
of business.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
Well, that's why I don't deal in just stocks. I
do mutual funds bonds, because I mean with mutual funds.
I mean, dude, it's the likelihood of it going like
you said, to zero, Bro, it's incredibly unlikely. Not saying
it can't happen, right, right, but I mean you're talking
about it's.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
Well like look at during the two thousand and seven
eight nine.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Oh you know, the markets dropped over fifty percent like overnight.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
Yeah, so you know you had one hundred thousand in
stocks and bonds all of a sudden, it's now fifty thousand.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
Yeah, you know, and that hurts.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, you know.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
I mean gold and silver will will fluctuate. Yeah, but
in a good economy, yeah, it's low. But if the
economy is good, you're you know, you're not relying on it.
If the economy is bad or prospects of war and YadA, YadA, YadA.
Now you've got some you've got some heads. So you know, again,

(37:48):
you're completely right. Dropping two K three K for an
ounce of gold is rough. That's why if preppers do gold,
they usually do yeah, tense usually, you know, tense and eighth.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
Like we're talking about drugs, right.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
Yeah, yeah, you know, do you want your whole twenty
eight and a half grams?

Speaker 1 (38:13):
But that's why we do tend more towards silver because
silver will be a lot easier to separate and use
for trade.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
And so on and so forth, and it's at a
lower price point.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
So even if all you have is one hundred dollars,
you know, well, right now, that'll pick you up two
ounces of silver, you know, and you just you like
put it away.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
But had you listen when we talked about this, it
would have got you three almost four ounces of silver.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
And they just have to keep going up, yeah, keep
going up, you know. But yeah, so, I mean that
is one of the one of the good things now
on the same front as Amazon, Microsoft, so that there
was a sharp in Cree AI aided cyber attacks from WHO, Russia,

(39:06):
and China. Foreign adversaries are increasingly using artificial intelligence and
their cyber influence campaigns, with operations picking up aggressively this
year Microsoft set on October sixteenth. In July, Microsoft identified
more than two hundred instances of AI generated content from
nation state adversaries, more than four times the number in
July twenty twenty four and more than ten times the

(39:28):
number in July twenty twenty three. The company's annual Digital
Defense Report shows AI can create increasingly convincing emails and
generate digital clones of senior government officials or news anchors.
According to the report, the sophistication of AI tools has
made operations easier to scale, more effective, and harder to trace.
Its becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate state and non state actors.

(39:51):
The report said, I mean, hell, you know, now we
all know that Bigfoot's real, right, you know, because we
see his videos all the time.

Speaker 4 (39:58):
You know, he's funny as hell running from this guy.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
But it's already it's it's it's.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Not just that.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
I mean before, it would take a room full of
hackers right to.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
According to him down syndrome.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
Yeah, it would. It would take a room full of
hackers to you know, uh, to breach like let's say
a h a power systems, computer system, right or a
bank or whatever. Now, one hacker aided by a I
can sit here and just do the same thing in

(40:41):
hours with what took days or weeks before.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
Yeah, you know, so at five minutes.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
Yeah, so at what point is it going to be?

Speaker 1 (40:51):
You know, the AI is just going to go in
and just rip everything up, you know, and again it
doesn't even have to get in to steal money for
what they're planning on doing. You know, all they have
to do is send the AI in there just to
shut everything down. Boom, shut it down. And then people
are freaking out. And I'm speaking of freaking out. It

(41:15):
comes later, but I'll jump to it now. The whole
snap ebt uh issue that's about to happen in uh November.
You know where you have because of the of the
government shutdown. You know a lot of these checks are
not going to go out. Wow, you know exactly, we'll

(41:37):
get a damn job. Well exactly now, you know you
right now there are people that truly do need to
help single mothers that Like, there's one at my job.
She works forty hours a week. She busts her ass,
three kids, her Her husband's in jail. He was a
piece of shit, you know, bad choice of a husband,

(41:59):
you know, should you pretty yeah? Gon gonna be a
stripper make more money? Sorry you job?

Speaker 2 (42:08):
Yeah? You know.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
That was like really mean that. I'm actually just kidding.
But the vast majority they are gaming the system. They
are they are They're like cheating. And I can tell
you from experience. I dated a girl back from late nineties,
and uh, she was an assistance. She was working, but

(42:32):
she wasn't making enough money, so on and so forth.
And I went with her to the offices a couple
of times, you know, and seeing these people come in.
This is back in the nineties, brand new car gold chains,
hair done, nails done, you know, all this other stuff,

(42:53):
you know, but they're on food stamps.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Yeah, it's like, excuse me.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
If you can afford all that stuff, you know, sell
the gold on your neck right there, and that'll feed
your family for the next couple of months.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
Oh yeah, you know, dude, I've seen it all the time,
going to the grocery store. Yeah, somebody will be in
there with a cart full of freaking steaks, lobster tails,
this that the other. Yeah, hair just done, nails just done,
we're nice clothes with the coach purse. Yeah, eight hundred dollars,
swipe the meat card, walk outside, put all your freaking

(43:28):
groceries right in the trunk of your brand new Lexus.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
Yeah what did you see it? Do you see how
their kids are dressed though? Oh yeah, when they're with them,
Oh like crap.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
Yeah normally normally yea yeah.

Speaker 4 (43:39):
But I'm like, dude.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
If you can afford a Lexus, and like you said,
if you can afford one hundred and fifty bucks, go
your hair done and one hundred fifty dollars ago your
nails done, and I know your bag is probably five
hundred bucks. Like you said, go sell that, like, what's
the problem.

Speaker 4 (43:56):
Yeah, we actually did a stinging back when I was
a deputy, a can.

Speaker 3 (44:02):
You give me one? I can't reach my shoulders.

Speaker 4 (44:05):
We had a transient on the corner right and he
was pelling for money, and we have on watching him
for a couple of months because everybody's like, he's not poor,
you know, he's very well off. Like, okay, so we
watch him, watch him, watch him. He walks to the
uh kmart parking lot, gets in a very nice car.

(44:29):
I think it was like a what was it Alexis
maybe Alexis or something, you know, high end. We follow him.
He goes up into the hills mansion, bro mansion. Should
we stop him? Like, what are you doing? Well, well,
this is how I make a living. This is how

(44:50):
I pay for this. You're using people to you know,
there's people actually out there that that needs this money
and you're just out there doing this. So I mean,
thank you the still seven time when I left now
and bells, bells a man and all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
Now, the interesting part is a lot of these people
that are complaining about, oh, how am I gonna feed
my nine babies from you know, eight different baby daddies
and all this they're posting on TikTok Oh.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
Yeah that that.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
You know what, if my cart doesn't work, I'm gonna
load up my cart and I'm gonna walk right out
of the store. We're stealing it, We're taking it. That
was the one lady, you know, which in some in
some blue cities where it's just a slap on the
wrists and the cops can't do crack.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
Oh you're gonna see. Yeah, you're gonna see.

Speaker 4 (45:44):
You can't stop them.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
A hundred of them are gonna go in there at
once and just wipe them out. Try that in Florida,
Try that in Texas. You know, it's like, no, no,
I can't wait for it. I mean it's been years
because of all the all uh liability and legal stuff
in stores.

Speaker 3 (46:04):
You might remember this. You're a little younger though.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
Back when we could still rough up shoplifters, it was
code five hundred. If you heard over the PA code
five hundred front of the store. Yeah, that that meant
all male associates get to the front of the store.

Speaker 2 (46:27):
There's gonna be a beatdown.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
Yeah, you know, And I the first time I heard
it was when I worked at kmart back in eighty six.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
That was my first Code five hundred.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
I was like, yes, now, no, you can't touch them,
you can't look at them, you know.

Speaker 4 (46:42):
Can't you stop? I mean you can't.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
Yeah, yeah, I mean you cannot even just grab the
shop and cart and say no, you can't leave.

Speaker 4 (46:48):
This got that point. It is their property, So I
mean it's not right.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
So it's all the legal mumbo jumbo. It's crazy, but
it's gonna come to a head. You know, at some
point the stores are going to be like Code five
hundred and you're going to see a bunch of gen
xers going running up to the sprinting down the aisle.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
Yes, it's my time.

Speaker 4 (47:16):
Dispatch used to say that Walmart was going five hundred,
and you know that's when we go code you know,
to the scene because we're just like, no, please, someone's
gonna get hurt.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (47:29):
And by time we got there, the guys already on
the ground or to the person, and we're just like,
why are we here?

Speaker 3 (47:34):
Yeah, it's like, I don't know, he tripped, he fell.

Speaker 2 (47:38):
There's a little bit of blood over there is.

Speaker 4 (47:40):
That glass door broken?

Speaker 3 (47:41):
Oh he hit it, he fell through it when he
would he tripped.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
I hit it, hit it with his face.

Speaker 4 (47:48):
I see the cameras real quick.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
Oh you mean the broken one?

Speaker 2 (47:53):
Okay, yeah, we're up and delete that footage. Last five minutes.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
I missed those days well. And back then we didn't
have a lot of cameras. Walmart didn't start.

Speaker 4 (48:04):
Really getting they're really blurry.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
Yeah, they didn't get hardcore like with the cameras until
really like the last ten years. When I first started
at Walmart, the cameras were dummy cameras. Yeah, you know,
they only had him in certain spots that were real,
like the gun calendar.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (48:24):
Kmart was actually really good about cameras because they had
the gun counter. Yeah yeah, a big you know display.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
So yeah, I mean, you know, there are certain spots,
but most of them were Now every single one of
them is real. That they can be monitored by home
office in Bentonville, each store over five thousand stores, I
mean their security center, yeah, is insane. They can just

(48:53):
punch up any this check store, you know, fourteen thirty
two in Kansas City screens. I mean that they can
they can control the thermostat and the climate control in
any store.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
So from I will tell you this, I have noticed
since you know, we went and got our DMG licenses
and stuff, and you know, I'm all the time perusing indeed,
and you know, I think it was Walmart has a
postings for security and they actually pay pretty well. Yeah,

(49:27):
I mean it's not some like you know old come
eighteen bucks an hour, not I want to say. It
was like I think it was like thirty bucks an hour,
and I was like, I did not expect that from Walmart.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
But right, oh, yeah, it's it's uh, they're paying more
and more. I mean, like most companies. Bank of America
just announced their uh their uh like minimum wage for
bank tellers. Now remember bankers, because I had friends back

(50:01):
in school that were bank tellers. They made like everyone
else ten twelve bucks an hour, you know, twenty five
dollars an hour for a bank teller now just entry
level walking.

Speaker 4 (50:11):
In back in Colorado, the security guards for the dispensaries,
they would stand outside with you know ar for yeah,
everything because they can't have the bills on site, so
they would have like a connex you had to you know,
secure that they would make like sixty or seventy dollars

(50:32):
an hour, be there all night. Yeah, you know, all
their money's in there.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
Yeah, but you know see that that's your job.

Speaker 4 (50:40):
Yeah yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:43):
Wow, that's listen bro. If we're doing that, I'm getting
up on top of this thing that all the way.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
Around would be like a roof top Korean.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
Yeah for real.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
Actually, on the Unsubscribed podcast with the Brandon Herrera Eli
and those guys, they're going to have the main guy
from the like rooftop of really from back in the nineties.
You know, he's an older general now, you know, but
he's going to be on the podcast, and from what
they say, he's funny and he's a really cool dude

(51:15):
and everything awesome.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
You know.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
I like watching there. They're like podcasts like those guys
are freaking hilarious.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
Yeah, dude, I love those dudes. Eli. Eli's funny bringing.
I love it when they have the fat electrician dude.
That guy kills me. I swear to god, Dude, I'd
love to sit down and drink beer and hang out
with him. Yeah, you know, I mean, what kind of
dumb ship can we talk about? Now? I can't talk everything.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
Oh yeah, I mean, hey, Brandon, you know our podcast
and your podcast want to do a little joint things.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
Like what's wort?

Speaker 3 (51:51):
Is he going to say?

Speaker 2 (51:52):
No? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (51:53):
I mean, and that's how I've done so many of
the things I've done back in radio and everything. Just
ask because more times than not they actually say yes.
You know, sometimes you get assholes.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
You know, when are we supposed to do that podcast
with the other guys.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
From over there. I'm gonna have to get with him
again because we kind of we all dropped the ball
because you've been so busy. You've been busy, I've been busy,
you know. So I mean, maybe what's gonna end up
happening now that we got this construction thing happening, Maybe
once the new studio is actually built then, because then

(52:36):
we'll be live like video feed and everything.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
And we'll actually be a legit podcast. Yeah, that's not
what I'm meant move to. Let me let me rephrase
what I said.

Speaker 4 (52:51):
Hey, after the things belt, we're gonna have like a
Sean Ryan studio.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Bro, we can put whiskey cabinets up behind the we've
got the bar. Yeah. But but like a human dude,
we got to figure out some good ventilation and there,
because if we're firing up stogi's in there.

Speaker 1 (53:08):
Well, especially with well Okay, we'll talk about that off
the air. No, because of the ventilation system it is
going to have. Yeah, yeah, that's a whole nother.

Speaker 4 (53:19):
Yeah, it's a good copy.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
Now. NATO just warned citizens help isn't coming when World
War three starts, telling people to prepare to be on
their own for days, weeks, or even months. They the
other governments would not be telling their people to prepare
if they didn't really expect world War three to start soon.
So the question is, if we are heading into something

(53:43):
big and they are telling their own people to get
ready and our government is not warning us, what does
that tell you that.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
Our government hates us and wants us to die?

Speaker 4 (53:54):
Okay, So, like today I watched the movie and it's
I think it's on Netflix, but uh, it's like the
I can't remember the name of it, damn it. But
there was no ending. You don't know how how what
happened at the end. But it went from like them
having a missile nuke come up and they're like watching
it and then they try to blow it out of

(54:16):
the sky and it didn't happen, and you know, they're
going like through all the scenarios and then all of
a sudden. It was that there was nothing. There was
nothing there pissed me off. But it's like the government
wasn't telling Chicago that there was a newke coming. It
was like two minutes and then a minute, and then nothing.

(54:37):
I was like, what, Yeah, that's actually what it's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
Well, it's media blackout.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
Yeah, and that's what you've talked about that if there
was a comet or an asteroid, a big one about it,
would they even tell you? Probably not, because the panic
it would cause would be just as bad as you know,
So I'm not.

Speaker 3 (55:01):
I'm torn, you know. I understand the logic.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
I understand why, but I would like to know so
I can at least, you know, hug my wife, tell
my kids I love them, reach out and touch ox.

Speaker 3 (55:15):
On the e one last time.

Speaker 4 (55:18):
I'm pretty sure we'll be here.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
Bro. If they would just tell you, I would continue
life like normal up until well as normal as possible
until about two weeks before, and then I'd be like,
all right, boss, ain't coming to work no more. Pound
sand love you doll. I'm gonna spend time with my family.
I got two weeks this is what I'm.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
Doing, And I got a fifty five gallon drum of
U pddy lube.

Speaker 4 (55:44):
And you know, no, we're not going to go.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
I got a fifty five gall under of a moonshine
that someone bottom. Did he die from the asteroid? No drink.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
Mom failed America? So are you prepared for whatever it
is most likely coming? Be a major cyber attack, grid down,
supplytane crash, or World War three itself? You know, That's
why we constantly tell people you need to be ready

(56:21):
no matter what. Like a lot of people have no
idea that there's a Cat five spinning out there by
Uh yeah, Jamaica.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
Now is it? Is it coming here?

Speaker 1 (56:30):
No? You know the way, the way that the shear
is and the front it's no, it's gonna hit Jamaica.
Jamaica's gonna get slack as a Cat five. Then it's
gonna hit the east, the eastern tip of Cuba, and
then it's gonna shoot up through the Bahamas and go
towards England.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
At least let's pray it out.

Speaker 1 (56:53):
Yeah, I mean, yes, we've seen hurricanes do Luca crazy,
but chances are it's like we're good. We should be
good for the rest of the season. Honestly, because by
this time, when the fronts are coming down like this, Yeah,
it's it's it's gonna either push it far northeast or
keep it very south and it'll go into like Mexico. Yeah,

(57:14):
you know, it turns him that way. So the worst
time for Florida is usually August September. That's when they'll
come straight in.

Speaker 2 (57:24):
Yeah. Well because by that point the chest stream hasn't
fallen enough. We're not getting any cold fronts pushing down, right,
So yeah, we get we get pretty hammered. Then this
year we've been very fortunate.

Speaker 3 (57:33):
Yeah, I mean a lot of that was the African dust.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
Oh, I mean I was gonna give it to like God,
but well, yeah, you know, whatever you want to do.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
But God, with the African dust in the air, he said,
he went over by the Sahara, and he said, and
he blew the stuff in the air, and it went
all over the place, and it made his stuff not
come here.

Speaker 3 (57:58):
See see, So it's still it's all on God's hands.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
There you go, all right, and I'll give you Remember.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
I am a apocalyptomus. Yes, we know that she's gonna
hit the fan, but we're gonna be okay, and.

Speaker 4 (58:14):
As Twitch says, anticipating trophy, husband.

Speaker 3 (58:20):
I've been doing very good lately.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
I've been getting a lot of work done here, taking
care of things, got new seat covers for the wife's suburbans.

Speaker 4 (58:30):
Spending too much time in the surgical room.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
You know, I mentioned to my wife. I know we
haven't talked about it in a long long time, but
you're the one that brought it up. Probably about a
year or so I did. I'm sorry, no, no, no, no,
about I don't know.

Speaker 3 (58:51):
Having the women the wives sit and do a podcast.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
Oh yeah, we not show.

Speaker 3 (58:57):
Up one day.

Speaker 4 (58:58):
Oh jeez.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
I don't tell the audience when it's gonna be all
of a sudden that the mics come on and it's
the four wives. Oh yeah, you know they're gonna talk shit.

Speaker 2 (59:12):
You know when I brought that up, I brought it
up as a joke. It didn't really mean it.

Speaker 3 (59:20):
I told the wife, and she kind of looked at me.

Speaker 4 (59:22):
She was like, that's gonna be like a six hour podcast.

Speaker 2 (59:27):
Oh bro, that would be like episode one hundred. Yeah,
they'd all be drinking and.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
Then the whole world. I know, we all got little
adie bitty lip dicks, even if we don't, they're gonna
say that just because they're gonna have fun slamming us.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
No no, no, yea, yeah, no, no no. That's the
one thing my wife actually gives me credit for. It's
not my brains, it's not my looks. I mean, bro,
the funny thing is, I asked her, I said, you know,
when you get old, you know, at some point it
kind of ques Sorry, I guess that's it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
Yeah, right, Like, I mean, there's always stuff, yeah, you know,
I mean if you need to, I mean, why.

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
Not you don't need to and just want to have
a good time.

Speaker 4 (01:00:24):
Well, yeah, I'm talking about that biggest dildo that sits
down at that store.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
No, no, no, about.

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
Children, children and children. Now, you know, with Venezuela, we've
been having these issues. We've been blowing their drug boats
out of water, which is a beautiful thing or something
like that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
They and and what's funny is they they pulled some
of their uh, some of their I'm using the air
quotes warships that they're getting from the ones that Venezuela
has and some of their other countries that they are
trying to set up a coalition to go against us.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
Okay, what did we just send over there, bro?

Speaker 2 (01:01:07):
I don't know. Probably the US Coast Guard and we
probably kicked their ass in like thirty minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
The USS gerald Ford, the strike Group, Yep, they're setting
Oh they they just redirected him there at full tilt.
It'll take him about four days five days to like,
you know, to get there from where they are.

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
They sent a full strike carrier down Venezuela. Wow, bro, listen, if.

Speaker 4 (01:01:36):
That doesn't show you what we can do, well, I
heard in just a short period of.

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
Time, I heard one guy on a podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
They uh a.

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
Geopolitical guy, and he was saying, do you want to
know what the top five uh strongest uh like militaries
in the world are? And the guy said, yeah, sure,
can't you know tell me number one the US Navy,
Number two, the US Air Force, Yeah, number three this

(01:02:11):
is legit like Marines, number four, the Army.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
And then everybody else. Number five Russia. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
So so you know it's like our four branches are
the top four and then you start going to other countries,
you know, so it's.

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
Not dude, you forgot the Coast Guard again.

Speaker 3 (01:02:32):
And the Space Force right, and the Space Force I.

Speaker 4 (01:02:36):
Think we're like, we're number five, really the Patriots and
the Rednecks.

Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
And well, yeah, I mean if you add you know,
some crazy ass freaking American citizens in there, let'st we
take the crazy ass American citizens. We take first place,
I'm sorry, like we do. And then it's all the
US forces just because because I promise we have more.

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
If you are an enemy invasion force and you hear
whistling from the trees and someone yell wolverines.

Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
You are, You're done. Start And if you're up in
the mountains and you start hearing a banjo, the hills
that have eyes, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:03:28):
Bro, hills have more than I.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
Zip.

Speaker 3 (01:03:33):
No, wait, there're a buttonfly usually.

Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
Yeah, now go get Paul. Oh, bro, you are screwed.
When Paul comes down the mountain, that is bad. Paul
comes out the holler, he's gonna be a big pissed.

Speaker 3 (01:03:52):
Now there's a guy at my at my job. Now,
he's a he's young, he's in his thirties.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
What's his name. I'm not gonna say O. I thought
you said I apologize.

Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
Now he said he's uh, he's kind of young, and
he's in his thirties. He's a veteran he uh, thank
you for his service. He was in the Air Force,
and of course I had to oh the chair force.
He was, Oh yeah, definitely. He was one of the
guys that sat in the office with the screens and

(01:04:33):
pushing the buttons when you see those like videos of
the bad jihadist in the HIGHLU video going down the
video and then you see the.

Speaker 4 (01:04:46):
Yeah, he's a drone operator.

Speaker 2 (01:04:48):
That's what he was.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
And he was telling me like, yeah, it was. It
was like a fucking video game.

Speaker 4 (01:04:55):
I mean, yeah, present actually does that for a living.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
Yeah, but you're and miles away flying a drone that
you will never actually see in real life. I know
what the best movie I have ever seen, the best
portrayal of any movie I've ever seen about drone operators.
Land of Badness. Yes, yes, it's Russell Crowe. Dude, he
is a drone operator. But that is literally the most

(01:05:19):
legit movie I've ever seen about a drone operator. That's
really what it is. Homeboy's sitting there and he's like
like a video game, like he ain't even doing nothing.
Here goes to drone. Hey, I need a hell fire
cool got you, bud boom? Home guys. Homeboys are gone, Yeah,
they got.

Speaker 4 (01:05:37):
Out of the sky.

Speaker 2 (01:05:38):
So what Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:40):
He and I got to talking because, you know, the
Space Force broke off from the and I was like,
you know, I like the idea of the Space Force,
but I'm never gonna take him seriously until they actually
have a space force. You know, when they have you know, fighters,
space fighters, you know, when they have ships and you

(01:06:00):
want like an X wing.

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
Yeah yeah, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:06:05):
I mean they have satellites, which is cool and all that,
you know, but when I hear space Force, I think of,
you know, I know, if this is way too old
for like you guys, star Blazers, the Yamato.

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
I didn't remember that, bro, you do?

Speaker 1 (01:06:21):
Yeah, oh.

Speaker 2 (01:06:24):
Yeah, listen, you got to remember. I might be a
couple of years behind you. But I used to watch
TV with my dad.

Speaker 1 (01:06:29):
Yeah yeah, yeah, the yeah, the the like ya Moatto,
the Wave Ocean Gun.

Speaker 2 (01:06:34):
And I love back then it was cool. Now if
I had to watch it, I'd be like, dude, this
is dumb.

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
I can't go oay. But the princess was hot. She
was I meant it was.

Speaker 3 (01:06:46):
It was animated, but it wasn't like the crappy like
speed racer anime.

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
It was I mean really for the time coming over
from like Japan, it was very high end, you know,
I mean, almost on par with uh.

Speaker 3 (01:07:04):
Akira m now that one you don't know, sorry, Bud
classic movie.

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
It was when.

Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
Actual Japanese anime uh really broke out in America.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:07:20):
It was a really good movie, very mental, to be
very it very theological too, Like towards the end, it
was how stuff happened and then then created a big
bang in another universe in a way. So it was
kind of like, how all this stuff happens caused something

(01:07:42):
over there to happen and that was their beginning of
their universe kind of thing. So it was one of
those that make you just go whoa. Yeah, So watch
it while you know, yeah, you know, expand your mind.

Speaker 2 (01:07:57):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:07:58):
I wouldn't say don't be tripping on shrooms because some
of it will freak you out. You'll be like, ah,
you know, not that I've ever done shrooms.

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
I really haven't.

Speaker 1 (01:08:09):
I always stayed away from psychedelics simply because I know
how my brain works, and I'd be that one freak,
you know, running down the street naked with a broomstick
thinking it's a sword, chasing a tractor trailer thinking it's
a dragon coming back here.

Speaker 2 (01:08:23):
Dude, And you did that two weeks ago.

Speaker 4 (01:08:25):
Yah, what are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:08:26):
I did.

Speaker 4 (01:08:27):
Yeah, we all seen that craft.

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
It was even all positively osciola.

Speaker 1 (01:08:34):
Wow, Okay, listen to the actual story. The US sending
carrier strike Group to Latin America, the bent Gone on Friday,
announced the deployment of an aircraft carrier to the US
Southern Command to target drug trafficking organizations, making a significant
US military build up in the Latin American region. Secretary
of Defense Pete Hegseth has directed the USS Gerald R.

(01:08:58):
Ford aircraft Carrier and it's strike Group to the Area
of Responsibility, which encompasses Central America, South America, and the Caribbean,
in order to detect, monitor, and disrupt elicit actors and
activities that compromise the safety and prosperity of the United
States homeland and our security in the Western Hemisphere.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
Wow, dude, listen, so Bete Hexas, I love that guy.
Oh dude, homeboy is like literally he is that speaks
softully and carry a big stick. Guy like he is
what the country has needed for years, like long time.
And I mean I guess nothing says big stick like
the freaking a freaking carrier strike group, right, like capable,

(01:09:41):
It doesn't get a whole lot bigger than that, Like
bro it can level entire countries in minutes. I don't know,
and it might be a little excessive though, I'm just saying, well, he.

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
Said, well, if you are a narco terrorist smuggling drugs
in our hemisphere, we will treat you like we treat
al Qaeda.

Speaker 4 (01:10:01):
You know, I mean, oh yeah, day or night.

Speaker 1 (01:10:05):
We will map your networks, track your people, hunt you down,
and kill.

Speaker 4 (01:10:09):
You like it send it so.

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
On the drug topic, still, I don't know if y'all
have seen it or not. It has mysteriously vanished off
the world wide Web. I do not know what happened
to it. Los Angeles had a apparently a tunnel system
found that was rather large, elaborate, was substantially funded by

(01:10:40):
someone I don't or a group of someone's, whether it
be whoever, I don't know. Try looking that up on
your phone. It's gone, apparently like Los Angeles declared a
state of emergency, big deal and all of a sudden
blackout done. I actually tried looking that back up on

(01:11:04):
this past Thursday. We heard about it a Wednesday Thursday.
I tried looking it up again and every trace of
it was gone.

Speaker 3 (01:11:14):
Now I know, part of the reason why we're sending
the strike group.

Speaker 1 (01:11:17):
There isn't just because of the drugs, is because it's
well known that in Venezuela, like Maduro, has terrorists training
groups there, training camps where they have terror experts let's

(01:11:38):
just say, come over from the like Middle East to
train the narco you know, terrorists, soldiers whatever you wanna
call them, and having Russian and Chinese troops there as well.
So Trump is using the drug in my opinion, that

(01:12:01):
excuse what I see, as you know, it's very smart,
it's very smart. He's using the drugs as an excuse
to have that there. So now if he does have
to go in and knock down some of the purpose, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
Yeah, oh hey, we were there to get drugs, but
we just so happened to get all these guys too.
Yeah great yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:12:23):
So and again, like we're saying how it's going to
go down now, I'm, like I said, a firm believer
that World War three is not going to be like
one day everything's normal and the next day it's mad. Max, Yeah,
it's gonna be not necessarily a slow rule. But again,

(01:12:46):
look at Kiev, like right now, you know there's i
mean just yesterday three killed, a twenty two injured in
more in Kiev the capitol because more drone and rocket attacks.

Speaker 2 (01:12:56):
Right, but.

Speaker 1 (01:12:59):
They still go to work, they still have to pay bills,
They you know, kids are still going to school. You know.
So there's a point where in eastern Ukraine it's mad Max,
it's you know, level that's destroyed. Those areas, those towns
are wiped out, their people. The few people that are
still out there living are like living in basements and
things like that. Kiev it's still an operating city that's

(01:13:23):
under attack.

Speaker 2 (01:13:24):
Yeah, you know, So.

Speaker 1 (01:13:28):
When people say well I'm just not going to pay
my mortgage or whatever and shit starts happening, doesn't work. No,
it doesn't work that way, you know, until until the
ship truly mad man societal collapse, right, you know, until
the banks no longer give it, right, you still have
to pay your bill, still take.

Speaker 3 (01:13:47):
Yeah, you know, I mean, you know, and then what
uh now you're screwed.

Speaker 2 (01:13:52):
You know, It's all right, dude, if it gets really
bad in like two weeks you could take it back.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
Yeah, but if it happens in two weeks, it may
go down for a year. So now like where are
you for that year?

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
I mean so yeah, So take care of what you
need to take care of, keep yourself going, you know,
even if shit starts happening around you, you know, until
the time when the cops and the firefighters are no
longer at their jobs and the banks are you know, now, yeah,
a huge cyber attack that knocks out all of our

(01:14:25):
financial systems, Well, guess what, you can't pay the bank
because there's no bank to pay at that point, you know,
while the computer systems are down and everything, you.

Speaker 4 (01:14:36):
Know, bank still figure out a way for you to
pay them, Like they're going to figure out every other
way to I mean I think that's the way they are.

Speaker 3 (01:14:45):
Well yeah, I mean they would want to.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
But think if.

Speaker 1 (01:14:50):
If the computer systems are down, you know, they can't
transfer money because the banks and you know, so on
and so forth, then the only other way would be
for you to mail a check to them.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
Or how about this if the cyber attack just so
happened to wipe out all the banks freaking financial history.
Oh I like it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:10):
Fight Club Yeah, that was the whole thing about that,
the great reset. Everything is like wiped out and destroyed
and we're back to zero, you know that. I mean,
so you know who knows who knows? So yeah, so
we've got all this stuff going on right on our
back door basically, you know, I mean, Venezuela and.

Speaker 4 (01:15:29):
All that, the same thing. I'm still picking at it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:34):
Well, you got the.

Speaker 4 (01:15:37):
Yeah, I mean to look at that man, all these mosquitoes. Man,
they like bit Actually this wasn't mosquitos. It was triggers,
the little jiggers whatever they are. Them dudes will eat you.
Oh yeah, dude, I got eaten. But with the birthday party, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:15:56):
I was like, what the hell, don't fall a seep
in the grass?

Speaker 4 (01:15:59):
Yeah, you know, you have too much fun And.

Speaker 1 (01:16:05):
Reminds me of those high school days in the clubhouse
with that old mattress. Anyway, So, like I started alluding
to three killed, thirty two injured in Kieva mid Russian
amid Russian drawing attack on residential buildings. So no, they're
not even trying to hit infrastructure. They're targeting residential buildings.

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
Okay, so they killed three and thirty two were injured.
How many drones. Did they send like five thousand?

Speaker 1 (01:16:33):
Uh? Well, okay, let's see, because they have a really
bad true multiple explosions were heard in Kiev. Oh right here, Yeah,
the overnight joining attack one of the October twenty six
launched more than fifty missiles, nearly twelve hundred strike zone
drones three and thirteen hundred and sixty guided bombs against Ukraine.

Speaker 2 (01:16:56):
This week only and got three.

Speaker 4 (01:16:58):
You guys suck.

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
There must have been some like high priority people right there.

Speaker 4 (01:17:03):
Okay, so how much is each drone?

Speaker 2 (01:17:06):
Yeah? Five hundred drink?

Speaker 1 (01:17:08):
I don't know this week the uh, these are attacks
are on residential buildings or people or children and money infrastructure,
So I mean, uh, here's what it says here. Uh
Keef City Military Nutrition UH said that a sixteen story
residential facility was struck in the UH in the Danansky district,

(01:17:30):
leading to a fire. Windows were reportedly shattered between the
first and ninth floors of the building. My aunt in law,
uh out there a couple of weeks ago when they
were like being getting like really bad. Her building, you know,
took some minor damage. The building behind them.

Speaker 4 (01:17:54):
Gone bad, really bad.

Speaker 1 (01:17:57):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:17:57):
She teaches at the college there and and.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
Oh yeah, you were telling me about that.

Speaker 1 (01:18:02):
Yeah, and like windows blown out parking lot, you know,
like destroyed, and again they still have to go to work. Yeah,
and walk to the store. My my my sister in law.
You know, it's like she's like walking her dogs out there.
We're talking to her on the phone and we hear

(01:18:23):
her dive. You know, she like jumps to the ground
because there's drones in coming and everything, and you hear
the AIRID sign and this is everyday life for them.

Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
Yea.

Speaker 1 (01:18:33):
So imagine if that was happening, folks wherever you're living
right now, be at Orlando, be in Colorado, you know, denver,
you know, like whoever. Imagine if every day and your
normal travels, going to work, going to school, doing whatever
you have to, you know, stay on the lookout for missiles, drones,

(01:18:56):
bombs dropping at any time while you're sleeping, you know,
all of a sudden, your buildings start shaking. And Kiv
is a large city, not quite as large as New York,
but it's like New York where it's mostly apartment buildings,
you know, skyscrapers, things like that. You don't most of

(01:19:19):
Europe isn't like America, where the city center is just
business and some slums and most people live in suburbs
and rural areas you know.

Speaker 3 (01:19:30):
There it's like.

Speaker 1 (01:19:33):
A majority of the people live in the city, you know,
in these apartment buildings and such, and yeah, there's really
not much in terms of suburbs. It'll be the city
and then the rural like villages. There isn't really a
suburb we kind of thing like we have that that's
really an American kind of thing. So, I mean, so

(01:19:58):
it's not like these people can well, you know, I
live in a house down there. No, it's most people
that are living apartments, you know, and some of them
are really nice, but still, I mean, imagine sleeping on
the eleventh, fifteen, sixteenth floor of.

Speaker 2 (01:20:15):
Some apartment and the first floor it's taken out.

Speaker 1 (01:20:18):
Yeah, and then all of a sudden, you know, it's
three in the morning and the building's rocking windows are
blown out.

Speaker 2 (01:20:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:20:23):
You know that's got to be nerve racking.

Speaker 2 (01:20:27):
Yeah, I mean, especially like you said, if you are
on the higher floors where you're more susceptible fire too.

Speaker 3 (01:20:36):
Yeah, the fire goes up, Yeah, it will go down too,
but it goes up a lot faster.

Speaker 2 (01:20:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:20:45):
I mean, you know, we saw that.

Speaker 2 (01:20:47):
And like nine to eleven, you know, regardless of nine
eleven was a god name controlled freaking demolition.

Speaker 1 (01:20:53):
Yeah. Did you see the video or the regardless of
the demolition part of it falling, but just the fire aspect, yeah,
you know, people were trapped up because the fire was
all there.

Speaker 3 (01:21:03):
You can't go down through the fire, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:21:05):
I mean there was a picture that went out and
they had the both towers and then they had like
the the red casings around the building right before the
the damage, and like they're repairing it. They're like, this
is what it should have been. I was like, it's true. Yeah,
oh yeah, the cranes on top of the buildings and

(01:21:29):
I was.

Speaker 2 (01:21:29):
Like, wow, now on the home front, shut up. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (01:21:39):
I come from an architectural engineering background, so I understand both,
you know, both sides of it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:48):
So you understand that a plane should knock around a building,
no cool and.

Speaker 1 (01:21:52):
And that much, not necessarily. But the thing is, it
was not enough heat to melt the steal. That's true,
so what was But you don't have to melt the
steel to weaken it enough to cause it to fail.

Speaker 4 (01:22:06):
So what was that team doing in there for like
six months.

Speaker 1 (01:22:10):
You mean like there might Yeah. Okay again, I'm not
saying that I don't have all the facts on that,
but just from the aspect of people that say, oh,
that's not going to melt this thing. It doesn't have
to melt it. No, you heat metal enough, it weakens.

Speaker 2 (01:22:34):
You.

Speaker 1 (01:22:35):
So because that's just one of the things out because
I mean, that's what I did in school was engineering
and how to you know, how to like.

Speaker 2 (01:22:41):
Build things, and I got bored and then I decided
to go be a welder.

Speaker 1 (01:22:45):
That's why I dropped out of college too, because I
became a bartender. Then I went into rating, so you know,
it's like engineering, bartending, radio. Uh trophy, husband, I think
it worked out.

Speaker 4 (01:22:59):
There's nobody use their like college degrees as to get older.
Most don't know, dude, I've got moved to something else.

Speaker 2 (01:23:09):
Yeah, I've got a degree. And you know what it's
done for me? Nothing, nothing except calls me a freaking
stupid fifty dollars a month payment that I got to
remember to make. Yeah, dude, it's fifty bucks a month
for like the rest of my life.

Speaker 1 (01:23:25):
You serious?

Speaker 2 (01:23:25):
Yeah, it's swear of God.

Speaker 4 (01:23:26):
Wow. Mine I don't have to do nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:23:29):
Yeah. Bro, it's like fifty bucks a month forever. Yeah
see for real.

Speaker 1 (01:23:34):
I see That's why I like when I dropped out
of college. I was about a uh like year and
a half in. Then I ended up paying my mom
back for you know, with like money that she yeah,
she like threw up, you know, because I just said, no,
I'm not gonna do the whole I just hear. I
just busted ass for a while and just paid it off.

(01:23:57):
And wow, because it was only a year and a half,
I didn't graduate. Now four or five six years of
college would have been amount.

Speaker 3 (01:24:05):
Much larger amount, you know, so I kept it like
relatively cheap.

Speaker 1 (01:24:09):
It was only about a year and a half when
I finally said, you know, I don't want to do
this because I mean again, I was doing architectural engineering
and stuff like that because my father, he was an architect,
and I took architecture in high school.

Speaker 2 (01:24:21):
I really liked it.

Speaker 4 (01:24:23):
It's cool, it's interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:24:24):
I'm pretty good at it. The house right here, I
designed it. The addition you were doing it was my design.
But seeing my father hunched over his desk every day
for thirty years, yeah, you know, drawing things for other people. Yeah,
I was like, no, I don't want to do that.

Speaker 2 (01:24:42):
Well, so, like my original goal was I was going
to go to college and be a mechanical engineer because
I was like, row, I get to build awesome things
like as a mechanical engineer. Oh yeah yeah, not like
an automotive.

Speaker 4 (01:24:55):
Okay, good.

Speaker 2 (01:24:58):
As a mechanical engineer, huge bridges, yeah, like bro like
cool like man stuff and dude, like I said, I
got into it and I'm like, yeah, I'm bored. Like
I was still working all the time and then going
to school at night, and one day I'm like, nah,

(01:25:24):
I'm gonna go to work and just keep working. Fuck it.

Speaker 4 (01:25:28):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:25:28):
And that's why I twitch he ain't going to college.
He you know, he wants to go to trade school
of some kind, be it welding. He's he he wants
to learn welding, but he doesn't know if he wants
to be a welder. He's gonna go into you know,
he wants to check out all the trades. But he
said he definitely wants to learn welding because it's good

(01:25:49):
for many different trades.

Speaker 2 (01:25:51):
I will tell you right now the biggest trades and
I'm gonna say this based on the financial will moves
that black Rock and Vanguard have made recently. The trades
that are fixing to explode are electrical and hvac. Vanguarden

(01:26:14):
and black Rock have invested so much money into those
areas that I'm gonna tell you right now, you want
to be a millionaire, go be an electrician, Go be
a friggin HVAC tech.

Speaker 4 (01:26:30):
I thought about it.

Speaker 1 (01:26:31):
You will.

Speaker 2 (01:26:32):
You're You're done. You're good for the rest of your life.

Speaker 1 (01:26:36):
I mean, and you start out making good money, and
if you build your contacts and your network at five
years you.

Speaker 2 (01:26:46):
You start, oh dude, you're saying.

Speaker 1 (01:26:48):
You start, you know, Boo Boo's electrical, you know, and
then you just grow it from there. And we did
a few years after that. If your business savvy and
you give you do good work, and you're good with
the customers. Now you've got eight guys working.

Speaker 2 (01:27:02):
Under you, and you sit back and at home talking
about like if you were to work for somebody else,
if you like in the unions. I was watching a
video the other day and there was a lady, lady
mind you, she was probably late fifties, maybe early sixties,
and she had got into the electrical trades when she

(01:27:23):
was like twenty. She is now somehow she is a
union rap or something crip. Not really, no, but dude,
she was making over one hundred dollars an hour.

Speaker 4 (01:27:42):
So there's a like, Wow, there's a chick on Instagram.
My wife follows her. Yeah, and she's really cute. But
she's like twenty five years old or so, and she's
making like two hundred k oh. Yeah, and she has
her own business running it doing what she has to do,

(01:28:02):
working for like the big electric companies like Contractor, and it.

Speaker 3 (01:28:07):
Doesn't have a huge if she don't have like a
college payment.

Speaker 2 (01:28:12):
She went to trade in school. She learned a little bit.
She became a freaking journeyman. Yeah, and then you work
your way up through earth. Yea journey person.

Speaker 4 (01:28:22):
But no, she's doing great.

Speaker 2 (01:28:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:28:26):
Now on the home front.

Speaker 1 (01:28:28):
In a groundbreaking move, Florida announces plans to become the
first state to eliminate all vaccine mandates, including those required
for school entry. Surgeon General Joseph Latipo's pushed to repel
mandates for vaccines like epatitis, beach a box and numeral
cockyal diseases has sparked national attention. The state aims to

(01:28:53):
prioritize individual choice over government and post health regulations, making
it a beacon for liberty. While some changes can have
and through the Health Department, Florida will need legislative approval
to fully dismantle these mandates. A process is sept for
early twenty twenty six. Governed the Scantists and the Florida
legislature are standing.

Speaker 3 (01:29:13):
Turn the patriot.

Speaker 1 (01:29:15):
Up for a person that rights and rejecting one size
fits all policies. I say, amen, give the people the
actual choice. We are not saying no to vax is
in general, just no mandated ones. Let the people decide,
Let the parents research and decide for themselves.

Speaker 4 (01:29:32):
That's exactly what me and my wife do. Like when
we go into the like with our little one, they're like, well,
we're gonna give it to this shot and the shot
and this shot. I'm like, no, no, no, You're gonna
give it this one. That's it. Like I don't want
this other stuff. Well, if you don't, then we're gonna
turn you into DHS and do what you gotta do. Yeah,
my kid's not gonna take that. Yeah, it's gonna develop

(01:29:53):
ADHD and hyper whatever crap and I'm not gonna do it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:59):
Yeah. Well, and you know it's even like or IFK
brought up he was like, you know, each vaccine on
its own probably really isn't that bad. But he when
you start stacking those guys right on top of each other,
bam bam bam bam bam. Your body is not made
for that show. Bro.

Speaker 4 (01:30:19):
And even at like a year old, they're like ten shots.
I'm like, you're not going to.

Speaker 1 (01:30:23):
Do that to her.

Speaker 3 (01:30:24):
No, you're not my pediatric.

Speaker 1 (01:30:28):
For like my kids. Again, I love them. That's why again,
as a prepper, you research the people your go to. A.
They were cool with firearms, but b when it came
to the vaccines, she said, okay, look these there's like
three are by law mandated.

Speaker 3 (01:30:48):
There's there isn't anything that you can do about it.

Speaker 1 (01:30:50):
But she said all these others, she said, it's your
choice and by the schedule, they're supposed to be all
done in this six months time. She said, if you
want to get those, we could spread them out over
the next five years.

Speaker 2 (01:31:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:31:06):
By the the ones that's by law. If you tell
them that it's against your religion, they can't do it.

Speaker 2 (01:31:12):
But there's there's a lot to that. There is to
get that where it's against my religion. There is documentation
and paperwork, there is. Yeah, there's a lot to it.
There is.

Speaker 4 (01:31:25):
And we had to go through all that because I
was like, I'm not even though we're not that religion
or or that, then we're not, We're gonna go through this.
So then she don't want to get that shot.

Speaker 3 (01:31:35):
So but she's doing great, right, but now with what's
going on here, that'll make it that much easier.

Speaker 2 (01:31:44):
Oh yeah, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:31:45):
So so I mean, if you want to.

Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
Give you you know, you want, you're gonna be autistic
have at it.

Speaker 1 (01:31:53):
Yeah, you know. But again that's why it's so important
to really be picky and search the people that you
were working with. Be it your plumber, you're electrician. You know,
if if you are trying to set up something in
the back and you know, and you know you don't
you know, not necessarily want permits or whatever, you know,

(01:32:15):
you'd be surprised. You know a lot of guys there,
you know, will say, okay, you know cash, we'll do it,
bam bam bam. You know, no questions asked exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:32:27):
But I mean, that's you.

Speaker 2 (01:32:30):
Know, the only time that it causes issues is like
once you get to the point of like resale, like
if you decide to sell your place, then it can
cause issues. But I mean his case, not that I
did any of that.

Speaker 1 (01:32:45):
I'm just saying, right, no, well, I mean but actually
after a certain amount of time though too, things kind
of I've seen before with like people where they like
put up a building on the back of their property
with like no permits, and they turned around and they

(01:33:07):
were gonna sell, and of course the appraiser came out,
what's this. You know, all they had to do was
just pay some fines whatever, and it wasn't anything major.
It was a couple hundred bucks and fines, you know,
no biggie. And other times it's been just kind of
like the the surveyor comes in, writes a new survey,

(01:33:32):
doesn't ask any questions if it's permitted. Now it's on
the survey.

Speaker 3 (01:33:36):
So guess what. The next time you get your tax thing,
it's there, so guess what.

Speaker 2 (01:33:41):
Yeah, it's good.

Speaker 3 (01:33:42):
Yeah, I've seen that happen a few times too, So.

Speaker 1 (01:33:46):
You know, that's good.

Speaker 3 (01:33:48):
Just make sure that they are that they know what
they're doing you know.

Speaker 1 (01:33:52):
Don't get you know, you know old you know, like
Jimbob that really doesn't know his head from his asshole
to wire some because that could be a safety, yeah
for sure. But you know if you trust the guy
you know or or lady and you know, you know
that they know what they're doing, but they're willing to
you know, Yeah, do a favor for a friend because

(01:34:16):
technically a lot of the work if you do it yourself,
you don't need permits, right you know, So really I
didn't hire him, He's just a good friend of mine.
I got pizza and beer and I helped.

Speaker 2 (01:34:28):
Him and we did it. True. Yeah, a lot of
the stuff that you do on your own house, if
you do it yourself right and it's not structural, I
can't rear what it was if it's not structural. And
if it's not, there was another one and I can't
remember it was, like if it didn't calls like a
hazard to life, limb and whatever. Basically, like if you

(01:34:51):
hook up like a pro paane system in your house,
you can't do that yourself. Electrical electrically, you can, I
mean yeah, but like pro pain like with gases, because
I could explode those you're not supposed to do And
like I said, if it's structural, you're not supposed to
do it electrical. I mean, what's the worst is gonna happen.
You're gonna burn your house down. I guess that's your

(01:35:12):
problem at that point.

Speaker 4 (01:35:13):
Yeah, but that's still danger to Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:35:16):
But it was like, if it's not a danger to life,
limb and whatever, then you can do it yourself. So
I know you can do all your own electrical, but
I'm pretty sure they have to hook it up that whenever,
Like you can run all your own wires and shit,
but it's supposed to be an electrician that actually comes
in and terminates your wiring. Yeah yeah, And that's kind

(01:35:36):
of that little gray area, Like you can do it, dude.
You can put in all your freaking outlets, you can
put whatever your three freaking feet on the wall if
you want to. But whenever that wire goes back to
your panel, it's supposed to be an electrician. It comes in,
it hooks it up, right, So it cost you a
armor leg to do. Yeah yeah, dude, you got to
hook it free wires. That'd be five thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:35:57):
What what? And again that's where the networking comes in
because I have gotten a lot of money off of
you know, things like when we had the power run
out to the far back for the back well, I
dug that trench myself, and that knocked off almost one
thousand dollars, you know, you know, like right there. And

(01:36:19):
all that cost me was giving my neighbor a bottle
of whiskey because he has a back home and he
came over drank a little whiskey and granted the trench
wasn't completely straight, but still it was a trench that
went you know, a good couple hundred feet, which the
electric company would have had charges, you know on harm

(01:36:41):
and a lay. So there's ways that you can network people.

Speaker 2 (01:36:45):
Network. Network.

Speaker 1 (01:36:46):
Network is one of the most important prepping skills out
there is because you aren't going to know how to
do everything, no matter how smart you are, and you
think you can do everything, you can't, you know, so
you have to network with people that have skills that
you don't. Make yourself valuable to them too, so that
you know, you trade you barter, gold, silver, skills, your

(01:37:10):
wife for the weekend, whatever, whatever rocks your boat with them,
you know, I mean what, yeah, I'm just saying, you know,
I said nothing, Why you look at me? Okay, here
we go report No King's financial revealed. Here's exactly who
funded those failed protests. According to the establishing media, the

(01:37:33):
left wing No Kings protests that happened over the weekends
were the largest and most genuine ever bull crap, except
that they reused old footage from the twenty seventeen protest.

Speaker 2 (01:37:46):
But meanwhile.

Speaker 1 (01:37:49):
They were and we got the actual spreadsheets of all
the different all all the different and it's, you know,
it's the basics. American Civil Like Liberties Union Foundation Two
point two million dollars, Care and Action Inc. One point
three million dollars, Center for Biological Diversity one hundred thousand dollars,

(01:38:15):
Center for Common Ground one hundred and sixty three thousand dollars,
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington three hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, Common Couse three point two million dollars,
Common Cause Education Fund two point nine million dollars, Common
Defense Civic Engagement Inc. One point four million dollars. I mean,

(01:38:38):
and again, a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:38:39):
Of these, yeah, I want to do some quick math,
real quick.

Speaker 1 (01:38:44):
A lot of those come under foundations that are funded
by larger things like George Sorows and some of the others.
So that's how they launder the money down. You know,
you'll have the uber billionaire, let's say Soros. He donates

(01:39:05):
money to these three big foundations, and then those foundations
turn around and fund these smaller foundations. So by the
time it gets to the street thug, it's watered down
like five or six different you know, Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:39:21):
My lord leg Concert League of Conservation Voters thirty three
million dollars. Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:39:29):
So you know it's when people say, oh, these are
purely organic, it's it's just the will of the people.

Speaker 2 (01:39:39):
Really close, I was really close. I'm sitting there and
I like got this rolling tally in my head and
I was like, that's like eighty two million dollars. It
was seventy sev seventy nine million, seven and eighty six
dollars total. Voto Latino. Yeah, even gave him money. Really yeah,

(01:39:59):
h no Kings So and I guess what if you
had a king, you wouldn't be able to protest. I'm
just saying exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:40:09):
In summary, According to this data, six foundations donated nearly
three hundred million to make the No King protests happen
the usual suspects Soros, Rockefeller, and Warren Buffett. Arabella is
another philanthropic firm. And by the way, Ford here refers

(01:40:29):
to the Ford Foundation, not the Ford Motor Company. So
you can keep your f one fifty.

Speaker 4 (01:40:35):
I don't want it.

Speaker 1 (01:40:37):
The names behind those foundations. Number one billionaire George Soros.
George Soros has Open Society Network pumped more than seventy
two million into official no kings, two point zero organizers
and a partners. He's a chief architect of the Riot
Inc protest model. Billionaire two Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook. His

(01:41:02):
foundations funneled fifty million plus through Arabella and TIDES linked
groups to fund the same protest. Billionaire Number three Hanjarg Weiss,
the Swiss born mega donor, is the largest foreign financer
two hundred and forty five million from Weiss to Arabella.

(01:41:23):
Bill Gates the Gates Foundation dropped one hundred million, and
billionaire number five Mark Mark Benioff Salesforce CEO added another
twenty million to the pot. So once again them saying, oh,
it's organic, it's just the people's will, my ours.

Speaker 4 (01:41:46):
What was the guy that did one hundred and thirty
million dollars to Trump was saying it. I remember what
it was for. The Trump didn't say the name of
the person that donated the money. Oh well, this person

(01:42:06):
donated one hundred and thirty million dollars to something. I
don't I should know, but I seen it like yesterday,
and I'm like, that's a real nice of them, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:42:17):
Yeah, dude, I don't know. I'll tell you what. Every
name that I just heard you say, though, are names
that I've heard in the past. Oh yeah, And they
are always connected too, in some way, shape or form.
A socialist idea, a global dominance idea, a population control idea,

(01:42:42):
in some way, shape or form.

Speaker 1 (01:42:43):
Every one of them, right, every single one of them.
And that's why as being preppers, we have to watch
these things. We can't fall into the trap of thinking, oh,
they're just some you know, you know, it's just organic.
They're just people that are protesting for right. No, where
are the palettes of bricks coming from? That are you know,

(01:43:06):
being at where those bricks are going to be used
against you and your family when you're driving through the
said area.

Speaker 2 (01:43:11):
So now I will bring up this. Whenever I was
in DC, what a month ago. Now, yeah, I guess
I did get to see a no King's protest. It
was rather large. There was probably, I don't know, a
thousand people there, which, yeah, it's not like they try

(01:43:32):
to make it out to be all, you know, millions, millions. No,
there was like a thousand people, which is still it's low, yeah,
but that's still quite a bit. And they marched down
the road. The cops walk the road for him, They
let them get back off into this little park area.
They marched through the park, they had their little gathering,
blah blah blah whatever. Everyone was very very cool. Nobody

(01:43:53):
calls the freaking stir, Nobody show peace. You could protest whatever,
and you know what, And that's what I was saying.
And at that point I have a zero issue with that.
If you have a grind or a qualm, please feel
free to speak about it whatever. But it's when you
start showing your ass and you start causing issues and

(01:44:14):
causing civil unrest, bro, that's when it. That's when enough.

Speaker 4 (01:44:18):
When you start, well, how can you burn down your
you lived in and you grew up in. Yeah, okay,
you got a property.

Speaker 1 (01:44:27):
Yeah, when you start causing you know, violence and damage
to property in people.

Speaker 2 (01:44:33):
But you know, and this is where the Republicans, the Conservatives,
the more libertarian, right, we we all believe that right,
we all believe in the morality issues need to go

(01:44:54):
along with the political issues, like you have a certain
set of rules that you need to abide by even
when you have an issue. The leftists they don't really
have that moral compass.

Speaker 3 (01:45:07):
They believe the ends justify the means.

Speaker 2 (01:45:09):
And I'm gonna tell you right now, if I have
to kill.

Speaker 1 (01:45:11):
Fifteen babies just to get my vote in yeah, I'm
gonna kill fifteen babies.

Speaker 2 (01:45:16):
Yeah. And not saying that we need to stoop to
such levels of immorality, but maybe we do need to
be a little more abrupt and abrasive to maybe try
to get people to hear that, yes, there are issues
that we do care about. They all just try to

(01:45:36):
push under the bus all the time.

Speaker 3 (01:45:37):
No, I kind of I think it kind of like, how.

Speaker 2 (01:45:41):
Do anything wrong? Right? Right?

Speaker 1 (01:45:42):
But like I think how like a DeSantis and some
of our sheriffs say it, if you're gonna protest and
you're gonna block the street, and you're gonna threaten people
to you know, break their windows in their car, try
to yank them out of the car.

Speaker 4 (01:45:55):
Something's gonna happen to you.

Speaker 3 (01:45:57):
We're gonna drive over them. And we have the right too.

Speaker 1 (01:46:00):
And and that's why you see in states like ours,
these Antifa and no kings and b doesn't happen. If
they happened, they're they're super tiny. Yeah, you know, they
only do it in states where they know they can
get away with it. So again, what does that tell you?
They're destroying their own places.

Speaker 4 (01:46:22):
And again they're crying about you know, national Guard and
them going in, you know, shutting it down.

Speaker 2 (01:46:28):
And I'll tell you this. Even when I was in
DC and National Guard was everywhere, Bro, I saw National
Guard on every street corner. I saw FBI in tac Gear.
I mean, dude, the Sheriff's Department was out in force
every break where. Oh yeah, bro, Like they were in
their thick And I got to stop and talk to
a couple of the National Guards, but not really like

(01:46:48):
talk to them like like a political level, but just
shoot a ship with him, you know, walking down the street.
Hey man, y'all doing all right?

Speaker 1 (01:46:54):
Bro?

Speaker 2 (01:46:55):
You know, go make sure y'all stay hydrated out here.
And you were in full tape body arm. Yeah, but dude,
they were all cool as shit that even the FBI guys,
which you would think they would be a little more
like dickish. Yeah, no, dude, they were cool. They're really not,
but they were legiti shit. They were like, yeah, dude,
this sucks, but you know, do what you gotta do.
You gotta keep the peace and make sure everybody, you know,

(01:47:17):
like National Guard.

Speaker 1 (01:47:18):
I remember, you know, in Hurricane Andrew, because again I
was down there. Unlike others, we were crazy. We went
We had a house down there in Miami still we
hadn't sold it yet and we were living in Orlando
at the time. That was like ninety two, and oh,
Hurricane Andrew's coming, you know, cat five whatever, blah blah blah.

(01:47:39):
What to me? My dad and you know, and well
my stepdad and my grandfather do let's go down to
Miami to make sure the house is okay before the storm.
So you know, all these other cars are fleeing this way,
and it's like the indepen didn't stay when everyone's leaving
the city and they're the one car going that was us.
We're the one car going down there. Wow, and we

(01:47:59):
can and we rode out the storm there, right, and
uh it was bad as everyone that we've talked about
it before. But the National Guard were coming around, you know,
uh and you know to make sure looting and all
that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:48:15):
And that's back when.

Speaker 1 (01:48:19):
I mean, I only had a couple of guns back then,
I mean, and I was young and broke. I had
my old Chinese sks. I had Mosburg five hundred and
I had my uh Rigor Pet five.

Speaker 2 (01:48:30):
That's all I had.

Speaker 1 (01:48:31):
And we're patrolling our property because I had a quarter acre,
well my father had a quarter acre down there on
the property. We're in the suburbs, but it's one of
those suburbs at the time.

Speaker 2 (01:48:42):
Now it's city suburbs.

Speaker 3 (01:48:44):
Back then, it was on the edge kind of like
where we are now in.

Speaker 2 (01:48:47):
A way, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:48:49):
And you know, we see these you know, humvies coming
around in the like National Guard guys, and you know,
of course they saw us out there, you know, and
they just stopped just you know, you guys, Okay, what
are we Yeah, you know it's that and the other
and yeah, you know it's a property. You know, showed
a you know, driver's license you know and everything. Okay,
you know that's cool, and like one of the older.

(01:49:09):
Uh like, that's that's an old Chinese SKS, isn't it. Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:49:16):
Can I see it? Sure? Here?

Speaker 1 (01:49:17):
You know here I said, you know it is loaded,
it's chambered. He said, okay, so he unchambered it just safety,
you know, and he's checking it out because it has
the bandet and everything, and he's like, oh man, this
is sick, you know. And then ninety two what were
they running at that time? Were like, was it was
it M Force at the.

Speaker 2 (01:49:37):
Time back then? Probably not. It was probably actually like
the full size M sixteen. Yeah, yeah, I think it was.

Speaker 1 (01:49:43):
And you know, I know he wasn't supposed to, but
since I gave him the SKS he handed me is
you know, which wasn't loaded you know at all, because
they kept the mag yeah, you know, you know, and
I was like, this is And then you know, we
traded back and you know, he's like, I see you

(01:50:04):
guys got this. He said, we'll come back by like
once a day, just to make sure you guys are cool.

Speaker 2 (01:50:08):
You know, We're like, thank you, guys. You really mess
them up. You pull a mac for their rifle out
of your pockets thinking in there, and they're like, oh.

Speaker 1 (01:50:19):
Shit, no, I don't think so, but no, I mean,
but they were like really cool guys, you know. I
mean again, they're weekend wards. It's National Guard. You know,
it's one week and a month, two weeks at a year,
you know. So I mean they're every day Joe's you know, I.

Speaker 4 (01:50:36):
Mean, serving their time, just serving their time.

Speaker 1 (01:50:41):
Well, I think I've talked about this before. The libertarian
in me doesn't like this, but the patriot in me
does like this. How Israel does it? You know, everyone
everyone two years. You know, after your two years, you're

(01:51:02):
put on reserve and you can either stay in if
you want to, or you can go do like whatever.
That so that everyone is trained. In case of something
of war and you're attacked, every citizen has been trained
in how to defend. Yeah, you know, so you know

(01:51:23):
it's like it's yeah, you know, it's like you know,
so like right out of high school, you know, you
should do two years. They could put that towards college,
like you know, you know, like give you however much
twenty thousand whatever they figure you know out cash wise.
You know, so you get some kind of training, you

(01:51:44):
might like it and say, you know, I never thought
i'd like it but I think I'm gonna stay in,
you know, or while you're in there, you may not
want to stay in. But while you're like like, let's
say you're doing stuff with electronics, you know, in your
two years, and you're like, you know, I don't want
to stand in military, but I like doing the electronics.
I'm going to use the money they give me to

(01:52:05):
go to a tech school or to college for that skill,
you know what I mean. But in the meantime, you're
learning how to defend and fight and work together, you know.
But again, the libertarian in me, though, is like, you know,
anything government mandated is So I'm really torn internally about that.

(01:52:27):
Like part of me is like yes, the part of
me's like no, man, yeah, I'll be like yeah, no,
I hear you. It actually is a phenomenon. The idea
of that program is phenomenal. And only two years.

Speaker 2 (01:52:39):
Yeah, I mean, I mean, dude, it's two years. Most
kids waste more time than that looking at their phone.
Let's be honest.

Speaker 1 (01:52:46):
I mean eighteen to twenty. So many of my friends
graduated high school, didn't go straight into college. They waited
a year or two to go to college anyways, So
why not earn a nice chunk of change for college
rather than working at Burger.

Speaker 2 (01:53:01):
King or you know, or you give us two years,
we'll give you your first two years of college. Yeah,
you know, something like that and boom, you know, you
can go to Valencia for free for two years if
you give us two years. Done and to kill people, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:53:20):
Drive tanks, shoot cool guns, printing are to buy a
case of that?

Speaker 4 (01:53:29):
Damn a case.

Speaker 2 (01:53:33):
You know what Echelon is.

Speaker 3 (01:53:35):
It's the new in in the military.

Speaker 1 (01:53:40):
Remember how it used to be Monster and then some
of the other rip it rip and all that. Now
it's Echelon, is what they now.

Speaker 2 (01:53:48):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:53:49):
And the guys from the Unsubscribed podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:53:52):
Are partnering with them now bought a chunk of the
company or whatever, not the whole thing, but just they're
like partnering with them. And you can only buy it
on base, at the UH, at the at the p
x's or online. They haven't gotten it in UH stores

(01:54:13):
yet in UH like regular stores. The one that the
that the that the military uses. It's three hundred like
milligrams of caffeine. But no dies. I mean it's actually good,
you know, it's not if you look at the ingredients
it's just like three or four that you can actually pronounce.
It's not that holes, but they're weird flavors and spicy

(01:54:36):
like one is like like mango hallapeno or something.

Speaker 2 (01:54:40):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:54:43):
So the guys from unsubscribed they bought in and they're
partnering with them, and uh, their flavors are a bit
more mild.

Speaker 2 (01:54:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:54:54):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:54:54):
And it's only like one hundred uh, like milligrams of caffeine.

Speaker 2 (01:54:58):
It's a waste of the time.

Speaker 4 (01:55:00):
Let's go pretty hard. Let's go.

Speaker 3 (01:55:03):
But they said, but but we have worked the flavors.

Speaker 1 (01:55:08):
Uh, he said, we cannot confirm or deny we created
the flavors we did because they mix so well with
various alcohols.

Speaker 2 (01:55:15):
Okay, so basically what you're saying is like ingredient one
is water, ingredient two caffeine, ingredient three is methamphetamines.

Speaker 1 (01:55:28):
Right and then and then very quick and then all
like natural flavors, no artificial craft right red it's.

Speaker 2 (01:55:38):
Made out of battery, acid and frinking coffee and yeah,
but it's it's good for you.

Speaker 1 (01:55:43):
Let's go. So and uh, you can buy it online
by the case, you know, I mean, they cheat, you know,
But It's just like if you buy energy drinks at
the store, you know, they're like three bucks four bucks
a piece, depending on you.

Speaker 3 (01:55:58):
So I was gonna buy two cases.

Speaker 1 (01:56:00):
I was gonna buy a case of the one that
the military does like that that, like Mango I want,
is probably good.

Speaker 2 (01:56:10):
Some of the other ones.

Speaker 1 (01:56:11):
If you watch the most recent unsubscribed one, yeah, they
do live ad for it and everything.

Speaker 2 (01:56:19):
And dude, I haven't even got to watch YouTube and
I can't tell you how long so ever since my
boss decided to block YouTube on my work laptop. Yeah,
so I haven't really watched a whole lot of YouTube
in like the last four months.

Speaker 3 (01:56:33):
Can you still get our podcast? No, it's on Spotify,
though it's.

Speaker 2 (01:56:38):
Not a no no, So yes I can because I
can get Spotify right. But and that's where I was
listening to, like some of the other podcasts that I
listened to as well. But all my YouTube content now
is blocked. Like as soon as I put it in
YouTube dot com and hit enter, it says like this
website is unable to be found. And I'm like, all right, cool,
So yeah, so I'm gonna do this another way. I'm like,

(01:57:01):
I'm gonna go to Grand Thumb's website and then I'm
gonna click on the little link at the bottom and
that way it'll take me to that's block too. I
was like, how you found out all the for your workarounds?

Speaker 1 (01:57:13):
Yeah. United Kingdom Government reveals who will receive the digital
ID cards first in the pilot scheme. Now you know
the We've talked about it on the show how bad
it is. In its effort to require citizens to obtain
digital ID cards. The United Kingdom government will test it
the scheme first on its veterans. Veterans can now apply

(01:57:35):
for and download a digital version of the veteran card
on their smartphone.

Speaker 2 (01:57:39):
See.

Speaker 1 (01:57:39):
This is what I keep going though, is like all
these things talk about on your smart how about if
you don't own a smartphone?

Speaker 4 (01:57:45):
Okay, so in Colorado, you have an app that you
can go on and it's uh coloradoid dot com and
you can It's an app has your ID, your consume
weapon carry if your law enforcement or military on your phone.
You don't have to carry your physical ID and we
would scan it to see if it was valid or

(01:58:07):
you know what it was. And that's exactly what that is.

Speaker 2 (01:58:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:58:11):
But but again Florida had it like two years ago
and then they got rid of it.

Speaker 1 (01:58:17):
But it's like, but how about if you don't have
a smartphone and I know you you you like look
at me like yeah, but get that's you.

Speaker 3 (01:58:27):
A lot of people don't.

Speaker 1 (01:58:29):
And more and more people are dumping their smartphones because
they don't want all this other bullshit.

Speaker 3 (01:58:34):
You just want a phone to make phone.

Speaker 4 (01:58:37):
You know, well, as long as you have the link,
they can link up to it and then see everything
that they need to see.

Speaker 2 (01:58:43):
But I mean even still, this whole digital light, social
credit score, all that stuff, it all leads to one place, yes,
and uh yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:58:55):
So and in in the UK there's a big, big
push people are dumping their smartphones specifically, I bet yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:59:05):
Most of them's names are Mohammed and most of them
are not originally for me, and most of them shouldn't
be there in the first place, and most of them
have warrants for their arrest in like other countries. I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:59:18):
But no, that is I mean that is.

Speaker 2 (01:59:23):
So I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (01:59:26):
So the other day I was asking for help from
our tech support yea the dealership, and it came up
as some like weird name I'm like, Okay, I don't
need the what's the sword that you put ship together with?

Speaker 1 (01:59:47):
Damn it?

Speaker 4 (01:59:50):
No, like the furniture. Yeah, I was like, I don't
need the IKEA fix. I need the real fix for
the solution so the customer can have their their vehicle
back and he lost his ship. I was like, is
Muhammed your real name or is it Joe or Bob?

(02:00:12):
And like they turned me in on it, and I
got like like a letter from the company I work
for and like you cannot talk to them like that,
you can lose your certifications. I'm like, so give me
real people that I could talk to that understands what we're.

Speaker 2 (02:00:29):
Going through to you know, a mechanic.

Speaker 4 (02:00:33):
Support that's overseas.

Speaker 1 (02:00:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:00:37):
I love when.

Speaker 1 (02:00:40):
Like when they go and they talked like this, and
you do like hello Smith, I am you get on
the phone with them, they sound like us, you know
the ones I get.

Speaker 4 (02:00:48):
They said they can change their their tone of voice.

Speaker 3 (02:00:51):
But they try to like play off like I am
Joe Black, you know, and it's.

Speaker 4 (02:00:57):
Just like Joe Black really okay, Muhammad.

Speaker 2 (02:01:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:01:05):
Now, as we were talking before about gold prices, gold
prices could surge to ten thousand dollars an JP Morgan
CEO Jamie Diamond warrens gold prices are poised for an
unprecedented surge, with JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Diamond predicting
the precious medical in Skywrock at the ten thousand prounds

(02:01:27):
amid mounting economic instability, inflammation, inflammation, inflation, fear, and geopolitical unrest.
Speaking at Fortune's Most Powerful Women's conference in Washington, Dominic
acknowledge that while he personally does not invest in gold
due to its four percent holding cost, that's if you're
holding it somewhere else. But if you had yourself stuff exactly,

(02:01:50):
you know to deal with that. The current financial landscape
makes it one of the few times in my life
it's semi rational to have some in your portfolio. Gold
has already shattered records in twenty two twenty four, climbing
more than fifty eight percent year to date and surpassing
forty two hundred ounce, more than double its twenty twenty
three price when it traded below two thousand diamond cautions

(02:02:10):
at escalating US tariffs, ballooning ballooning deficits, inflation, artificial intelligence
driven market shifts, and global remilitarization. Lit are pushing investors
toward gold as a heads against uncertainty, uncertainty, and it
could easily go to five or even ten thousand environments

(02:02:31):
like this. Yeah, so I mean they're talking about if
you put your money in. You know, it's like we've
done silver, like I said, and we've got oh god,
I mean, I don't mind saying it because it's not
like anyone. You know, I've got a few hundred ounces

(02:02:51):
that I bought over the last ten to fifteen years.

Speaker 3 (02:02:55):
It's not like I just.

Speaker 4 (02:02:58):
You know, you know that that we get done after
the new build.

Speaker 3 (02:03:02):
No, no, no, we're paying that catch.

Speaker 4 (02:03:07):
What nothing anticipating the husband.

Speaker 2 (02:03:12):
That's all. Well I heard that money.

Speaker 4 (02:03:19):
By going on, but keep going.

Speaker 1 (02:03:24):
You know, we we bought it over the last fifteen
years or so. So it's not like we just bought all,
you know, five hundred ounces all the ones. It's fifty
ounces here. You know, when it was eighteen dollars an ounce.
By fifty ounces, you know, was like you no jump change,
you know. I mean so just you know, like a
little bit here, a little bit here, and it built
up over time. It's like your food stores, you know,

(02:03:46):
not everyone has the money to go buy three years
worth of dehydrated food for ten grand.

Speaker 3 (02:03:51):
No you don't, but you don't do it that way.

Speaker 1 (02:03:54):
You buy a bucket here, a bucket there, and over
the course of a few years, you've now accumulated two
years worth of food for the family, and it's dated
out because instead of buying it a so no, it
was all bought in June of this you know year.
So it's all gonna not go bad, but you know,

(02:04:15):
start expiring. Yeah, you know at a certain date. If
it takes you five years to accumulate it, then you
know what to use first and what to use last.

Speaker 2 (02:04:27):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:04:27):
It's just but it's that way with everything with Ammo.
You know, first of all, it's not smart to go
and buy you know, shipload of Ammo somewhere, you know,
especially on a credit card anyways, because that gets flagged.
But if you're gonna you know, buy Ammo, pay cash
if you can, and they still ask for ID. Yeah,

(02:04:48):
you know which the nub they don't even ask for ID, Like.

Speaker 2 (02:04:51):
Where I buy it?

Speaker 1 (02:04:52):
Yeah nope, Academy does, does your ID? Oh yeah, yeah,
but yeah, you know, buy that box of fifty or
even that box of like like five.

Speaker 2 (02:05:05):
Hundred whatever you know, or be a baller and go
get you a fifty five gallon drum full.

Speaker 3 (02:05:10):
There you go, which I've I've wanted to.

Speaker 2 (02:05:13):
I know a guy. I know a guy. I know
it takes cash, no questions, and like, what is.

Speaker 3 (02:05:19):
It running for right now?

Speaker 2 (02:05:22):
Dude? I don't know how to make phone call fin out? Yeah,
I really don't remember what it was. But you can
get a fifty five million drum slap freaking bull Yeah,
I know you can do nine millimeter two two three,
And I think the last time I talked to him
he was also doing forty five ACP and twelve gage.

Speaker 1 (02:05:39):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (02:05:40):
Yeah, bro, I was like, what why not? He goes,
if I can make it fast enough and I could
fill a fifty five gallon drum, might as well.

Speaker 3 (02:05:49):
And as long as you get bulked his guy.

Speaker 2 (02:05:51):
Oh no, dude, it's a good price right right.

Speaker 1 (02:05:54):
So but yeah, So, I mean, you know, most of
the things luck with prepping, whatever it is, be it
even just your toiletries. You know, you don't go buy
twenty thirty six packs of toilet paper all at once.

Speaker 2 (02:06:08):
That bro, where were you?

Speaker 1 (02:06:12):
Where was I sitting at the house with my twenty
five packs of it because I bought.

Speaker 2 (02:06:17):
It over time several years. I hear that.

Speaker 3 (02:06:19):
So when everyone else was panicking and running to the store.

Speaker 2 (02:06:23):
I hated and you're like, I could still wipe my ass,
so stupid, and I had, you know, I.

Speaker 4 (02:06:30):
Was sitting in the freaking aisle making sure that people
were being right about it, like this is it? This
is really a detail?

Speaker 2 (02:06:39):
Yeah, no, yes it is. Sorry, well, it's like a
Walmart back when.

Speaker 1 (02:06:46):
When Black Friday was really black from now it's not anymore,
the online stuff three weeks it's nothing now, yeah, but
back when it was one day. I remember my first
Black Friday was two thousand and four, I think it was.
It used to be crazy that Yeah, that was the
heyday when people were getting trumpled, you.

Speaker 4 (02:07:10):
Know, fights, fights breaking out fired.

Speaker 1 (02:07:14):
I mean where me and the security guy again, this
is back around the last time you were able to
still put hands on It was like around two thousand
and four, two thousand and five, it was Christmas. The
security guy there, Rock was a kind of like Rhino,
big dude, big black dude, really nice guy.

Speaker 2 (02:07:35):
Older too.

Speaker 3 (02:07:35):
He was probably about forty nine or fifty at the time.

Speaker 2 (02:07:38):
But just boom.

Speaker 1 (02:07:40):
And he was by the electronics area and I was
in another area about fifty feet seventy five feet from him,
and it was packed. I mean it was around Christmas time.
It was packed, and you know how it happens to idiots.
It was up at like nine oh eight. So John
Young and Sana Carrea right by a tangent. Oh yeah,

(02:08:04):
two guys walk past each other, bumped in, you know,
accidentally bump into each other. Words are said, and boom.
They got right in front of me. And I had
only been working there for a few months and I came.
I had just been doing bouncing and security at bars.
So my first instinct was who jumped right in? You know,

(02:08:27):
And I latched onto the bigger of the two guys.
And this guy was probably about six four sixty five.
I mean I'm six even, you know, and this guy
was pretty big. But I jumped on his back. Last
he's doing what I have to do. Nelson, you know,
just came by and as I'm doing it, I'm like.

(02:08:48):
The guy's name was Rock, I'm like Rock, and he
sees me. He comes running over.

Speaker 2 (02:08:53):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:08:54):
We had an under control pretty damn quick, and we're
escorting them out, you know, and everything.

Speaker 2 (02:08:59):
As he's still bider monkey will do back. I will
choke you out.

Speaker 4 (02:09:04):
Down pressure point.

Speaker 3 (02:09:07):
I mean I really missed doing security.

Speaker 2 (02:09:10):
Yeah, I mean, listen back what I used to do.
I loved it because I mean even back when I
was doing it, and it's been fifteen years ago, when
I was working at bars and bouncing and ship, bro,
you could get away with all kinds of stuff. Hell yeah, wild,
Like if you did that stuff today, bro, you're gonna
be in the back of the squad car.

Speaker 4 (02:09:30):
Boy, Okay. Yeah. It was like, okay, you want to
resist pressure point, Yeah, okay, yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:09:36):
But dude, like, for real, the crap that we did
back then, you would be right in the back of
the squad car with that dude that you just freaking assailed.

Speaker 4 (02:09:46):
I mean I ran there wasn't much like many security
people that we wrested. Yeah, like maybe one or two.

Speaker 2 (02:09:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:09:55):
I ran one guys for it right right in the
door frame, you know, because I was escorting him out.
I had his arm behind it, I had his hair
and as you know, yeah, and as we were going
through the door, I was I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (02:10:12):
For it, dude. When I worked at Man's Warp tour.
There was one of the freaking guys tried to whatever
a cost the lead singer, and I knocked away down
and I grabbed him by his belt and his hair,
and I carried that dude all the way to get
and it's probably like three hundred yards. It was far.

(02:10:34):
I carried that dude all the way there. He's kicking
and screaming and throwing a fit and everything else, and
I'm like, dude, it's cool. I got his head so
he can't freaking bite me. And I'm not going to
worry about any of this other stuff. And I'm like, cool, bro,
you can do whatever you want, but it's just gonna
hurt even more. Don't really care. Yeah, stop crap if
you do that crab mouth? Yeah all that, yeah, yeah, okay, So.

Speaker 1 (02:11:00):
All this stuff that we've been talking about now again
these people are talking about writing if they don't get
their uh.

Speaker 3 (02:11:07):
Ebt and everything. Dude, you guys are slamming of tonight.

Speaker 2 (02:11:10):
Now what are you talking about? Dude? We're like three
inn a piece right now, We're like three in a piece.
We're behaving. I should have.

Speaker 3 (02:11:18):
Brought the BlackBerry and uh like lemonade.

Speaker 2 (02:11:21):
That. Listen. Somebody told me the Crown I don't even know.
Somebody told me The Crown came out with a chocolate
flat and I was sitting there thinking, I'm like, what
could you mix that with? It would be really good.

Speaker 3 (02:11:33):
I was peanut butter whiskey.

Speaker 4 (02:11:36):
Okay, so I'll tell you. I'll tell my wife that
because I was like, I want to.

Speaker 3 (02:11:40):
Buy it, but it'll taste like a peanut butter cup.

Speaker 4 (02:11:43):
Bro Okay, I'm gonna buy one and bring it to
the podcast.

Speaker 3 (02:11:48):
Because I already do Bailey's chocolate and the peanut.

Speaker 2 (02:11:51):
Butter stuff and the white.

Speaker 4 (02:11:55):
It's a limit edition too.

Speaker 1 (02:11:56):
Yeah now I got the white chocolate or yeah, yeah,
I got the wife looked the BlackBerry and uh like
lemonade so good. The other night I made her once
she was this is awesome. She drank it pretty quick.

Speaker 2 (02:12:11):
I'm like, massage room.

Speaker 3 (02:12:16):
She had a second one, right, she was still fine.

Speaker 1 (02:12:19):
She goes for a third. I'm like, I don't think
you should say I'm fine, don't worry, you know, okay.
I protested, you know, for about ten minutes, and then
she said no. I said, okay, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (02:12:33):
I gave her longer than ten seconds, you're gay. So
the next thing I know, I go to work.

Speaker 1 (02:12:43):
I come home, you know, in the morning, and she's like, oh,
she was hungover, she had to go to work.

Speaker 3 (02:12:52):
And I'm like, I.

Speaker 1 (02:12:54):
Told you.

Speaker 3 (02:12:57):
Those things they're delicious, but they creep on you.

Speaker 2 (02:13:02):
Oh yeah, they're bad. We know that show one hundred oh.
And the worst part is yeah, you're drinking it and
you're like, bro, this shit's good, like wow. And the
next thing you know, you're like, the room is moving,
nas on, the roommate moving, your brain is moving.

Speaker 1 (02:13:18):
And the next day I had to go to the doctor.
Oh that's right, remember, And I walked in and she knew.
She goes, you're hungover, aren't you.

Speaker 2 (02:13:29):
Again.

Speaker 3 (02:13:29):
She's cool, she's really cool. She was just like, but
I get it.

Speaker 1 (02:13:36):
You guys are partying.

Speaker 2 (02:13:38):
You know, you're human.

Speaker 3 (02:13:40):
It's okay to drink the party sometimes, just you see,
like what it does to your blood press or everything.
Just don't do it all the time. And I'm like,
I don't. I mean something like that's you know, what's
every blue moon?

Speaker 4 (02:13:50):
You know that's boring.

Speaker 2 (02:13:56):
What I was just trying to do it? Yeah, it's
what's call it?

Speaker 5 (02:14:01):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (02:14:04):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:14:04):
Shoot? Rock compound. Yep, it's kidding everywhere. Yeah, let me
hold that for you. Actually, I forgot you're from Miami.
That might rock compound and that's what we call it.

Speaker 1 (02:14:17):
It's yeah, now to the hardcore prepping portion.

Speaker 2 (02:14:25):
Can we talk about something else for work? Sure? So
Donald Trump, dude, that guy, it seems like you're Lately
he's been making some rather I don't want to say
bad decisions, but disturbing decisions on that affect the American people. Okay,
right now he is I actually saw the video day

(02:14:47):
before yesterday where he is talking about sending twenty million dollars,
twenty million, twenty billion. I think it was twenty billion
dollars to Argentina for Argentinian beef. Yeah, it was twenty
billion dollars. What does he think that is going to

(02:15:11):
do to American beef prices? It's gonna drive them down
because now we're going to be inundated with a large
amount of foreign produced beef. Right, So the whole make
America Great again America first that he's run on this
whole time, Well, why aren't we subsidizing American farmers and

(02:15:35):
American ranchers with that twenty billion dollars correct every day,
seventy seven ranchers go out of business every day. Think
about that. At some point you're gonna run out of
American farmers and ranchers.

Speaker 1 (02:15:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:15:50):
Why because they're still going to pay property tax. They're
frigging loan that they took from the bank so they
could keep their frigging doors open, so they could keep
their generational business going. It's too much. The feed prices
are too high, the fertilizer prices are too high, the
frigging seed prices are too high. Beef prices are too high.

Speaker 1 (02:16:13):
At Walmart, even the cheap rabbi is nineteen and twenty
dollars a pound.

Speaker 2 (02:16:18):
Yeah, crazy, It is unreal. I was at Publix the
other day when we were out of town working. We
always do steak night Tuesday night, a state night, it
doesn't matter. But we were paying eighteen dollars a pound
at publics for freaking rebbies and that was on sale.

(02:16:38):
But are there better uses of that twenty billion dollars?
Could we restabilize the US farmer and rancher infrastructure. Could
we help with fertilizers and seed and vaccinations for cattle,

(02:16:59):
stuff like that instead of shipping it overseas, and again,
all that's going to do is hurt our economy.

Speaker 1 (02:17:05):
Now I agree with what you're saying. You know, all
those are valid points. The only excuse that can be
said is the Argentinian the president. I forgot his name out, but.

Speaker 2 (02:17:23):
I know who you're talking about. I think he's an
awesome and.

Speaker 1 (02:17:28):
It's a big ally of us, and we need more
people like him down there because of people like Maduro.
We need someone to offset. So the only excuse that
I could at all give is he's trying to.

Speaker 2 (02:17:42):
Help him not lose, you know, But wouldn't it be
better to give if that is the case, And I
completely agree to give that money to another.

Speaker 3 (02:17:53):
Maybe not beef, maybe something else exactly, I mean.

Speaker 2 (02:17:56):
Because clearly there are things that the United States needs
other than beef. Yes, right, rare earth minerals. I mean, dude,
take your pick, bananas. Fuck, I don't know argent strippers,
I mean, yeah, yeah, whatever. But all I can see
is this being a net like a net negative. Can
you imagine, you know, my lord.

Speaker 1 (02:18:18):
What would be you know, twenty billion dollars in hot
Argentinian strippers in exchange for And I could I see
the whole the whole TV commercial like already you know
it's like it's no, it's like there's a commercials you
see if the like starving kids in Ethiopia, but it's

(02:18:40):
like these like strippers.

Speaker 3 (02:18:41):
You know, please help these.

Speaker 2 (02:18:43):
Four stars right for just ninety cents a day?

Speaker 3 (02:18:49):
No, you two can pay for that dance.

Speaker 2 (02:18:52):
I'm good, And within two weeks you will receive your
handwritten letter and picture of your own personal strip in
dirty underwear. What this is what happens when you walk
outside for a minute? Okay?

Speaker 1 (02:19:12):
No, I completely agree though, Yes, best states for shit
hit the fan? Okay, meaning are we taking a pole
on this? Well, I'll give you some of my ideas
and then I want your guys feedback to I've read
other people's ideas, you know, and other things, okay, like

(02:19:34):
what are the main needs?

Speaker 2 (02:19:35):
Fresh water? Okay?

Speaker 1 (02:19:38):
Living in a desert is not a good idea. Fertile
soil because you need to be able to grow stuff.

Speaker 6 (02:19:46):
Game, low population density, lower population love like densities she
has game because you may need to hunt you know, fish.

Speaker 1 (02:20:00):
Pre shlt hit the fan. Laws on self protection, off
good living and privacy. You know you don't want to
go to a place like California where you can't own this,
can't own that, can't do this. You'd rather be in
a place that before the crap is the fan, you
have the ability to you protect yourself and prep without
having to worry about the government come in. Okay.

Speaker 4 (02:20:19):
So some of those states are already blue though.

Speaker 3 (02:20:23):
Some of them are right, you know, but there are
a lot that aren't.

Speaker 2 (02:20:29):
One that like, we're at Florida. Yeah, now we have fresh.

Speaker 1 (02:20:35):
Water everywhere, there is game, there's fishing all around, not
only fresh water, salt water.

Speaker 2 (02:20:42):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:20:44):
Some people say we're overpopulated, and we are in certain locations,
but there are huge areas of Florida that are still
very in air and air and airne are you know where.
And you know, our laws on self protection and not perfect.

(02:21:06):
Things can be improved. The laws aren't perfect, but they're
not bad. They're much better than many other yes.

Speaker 2 (02:21:12):
And they can be whatever you want to want them
to be if you're not a little bitch.

Speaker 1 (02:21:16):
And our climate here we have three and a half
growing seasons. You know, most people don't die of heat,
they you know, they die of cold. They die of freezing. Yes,
I mean unless you're in Death Valley, California. That's that's
another extreme extreme ye, but for but for the most part,
you know, you can survive ninety five degree weather.

Speaker 2 (02:21:39):
You know.

Speaker 3 (02:21:42):
Which one is that one?

Speaker 2 (02:21:44):
Huh? Well, I got you one. I just forgot to
bring it tonight.

Speaker 3 (02:21:48):
Oh, it's about to say, because I've got my challenge coined.

Speaker 2 (02:21:50):
But the other one that we use, I don't have
another one.

Speaker 4 (02:21:54):
I don't have another one. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:21:57):
Oh so you guys left me out. Yeah, because I
got the I got the main one from the group.

Speaker 4 (02:22:08):
That wait wait, hold on, hold on, it's from Delta.

Speaker 2 (02:22:14):
Yeah, you can have mine, sweetness. I will give you mine.
Do I have to do anything for it? You already did.
Thank you. I'll give you mine. I've got a couple

(02:22:35):
more of the house. Nice, thank you.

Speaker 1 (02:22:39):
Now, folks, what challenge because there's a lot of people
out there that don't understand what challenge coins are. UH
started out in the military, but it's used in law
enforcement and first responders in UH in general, and a
lot of patriot and prepper groups as well. It's a
coin that usually denotes the group and you're supposed to

(02:23:04):
keep it on you at all time, all times, so
that if you're ever challenged, you know, if they challenge
you and you don't have it on you, next rounds on,
the next round is on you. If they challenge you
and you do have it on you, they have to
buy the round. Yeah, you know, And it's it's also

(02:23:27):
like one of those things that would be used I
think in should hit the fan scenario. You know, you
you know, you show up somewhere, you know, and you
know that could be part of the past key you
know is you know, yeah, it's like you know, like
what's the password and do you have the coin? Yeah?
You know, so or if like let's say you're injured

(02:23:49):
and you can't get there, you know, but you send
this person for help.

Speaker 3 (02:23:53):
Look, take this coin, take it there, Yes, that's who
it is.

Speaker 1 (02:23:59):
Take it to them, tell them it's my coin, and
like this is my you know, and boom they're gonna
be because they'll know the only way you got.

Speaker 2 (02:24:11):
That is if you know, either you gave it to
him or you killed him and you took it.

Speaker 4 (02:24:16):
Exactly, that's right.

Speaker 3 (02:24:17):
So you know, it's that's what a challenge coin is.

Speaker 2 (02:24:20):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:24:20):
Some people like to collect them too, because there are
some really neat ones like I got one from from
Matt from Demolition Ranch.

Speaker 3 (02:24:29):
He sent me one.

Speaker 1 (02:24:30):
It was one of the where uh you know, he said,
you know, they were going to pick it random, you know,
from like certain like purchases and everything, and I got one.

Speaker 2 (02:24:43):
You know, I still haven't got the hummer, but you
know whatever. Well, yeah that was sweet.

Speaker 3 (02:24:49):
But yeah, so okay, so Florida, you know, I think
it was one of the better ones.

Speaker 2 (02:24:54):
Yes, you know, yes, I would say Florida, and then
I would say Wyoming. But in like our local Okay, okay,
at least for me, that's where I'm kind of I
would say Alabama.

Speaker 3 (02:25:06):
Well really almost any of the southeast.

Speaker 2 (02:25:10):
Yeah, they are because there's not a whole like they're Arkansas.

Speaker 3 (02:25:15):
There isn't a lot there too.

Speaker 2 (02:25:16):
Oklahoma, I mean if mountains. So here's the problem, Like
especially when you get up around like Wyoming, Montana, those states,
those are nuke targets because that's where a lot of
silos and stuff are farm than and so they're do
their nuke sponges.

Speaker 1 (02:25:35):
And it starts getting a bit too cold, oh Broe Bridges.
Like again, it's easier to die of cold exposure than
is exposure. I lived in Wyoming. I love it.

Speaker 2 (02:25:48):
It's beautiful, cold as fuck.

Speaker 3 (02:25:50):
But I've been in fifty below. Yeah, negative, exactly fifty below.
I love the cold. I love snow, I don't. Fifty
below is another level of cold.

Speaker 4 (02:26:03):
I mean that is like when you got to work
a scene in a blizzard. That's another I did road
construction there, you go exactly on no in February, I'm no.

Speaker 3 (02:26:16):
Yeah, so I was out there flagging, doing the flag thing.

Speaker 2 (02:26:20):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (02:26:20):
You know we've came up to the cars that's been
on the side of the road on I twenty five,
and you know they're deceased because yeah, frozen people. Yeah,
I mean, guess gauges on e and you know they're done.

Speaker 1 (02:26:33):
So again, if you're gonna pick those kind of places prepping,
that's why you keep your vehicle prepper for this season. Yes,
you know, they should have had sleeping bags in the trunk.
You know that alone would have saved their lives.

Speaker 2 (02:26:46):
You know.

Speaker 3 (02:26:47):
So it's just simple things.

Speaker 1 (02:26:49):
But a lot of people did well, I'm just going
down the you know road, you know whatever, thirty minute drive.

Speaker 3 (02:26:54):
I don't need to take that stuff.

Speaker 4 (02:26:57):
It was like tink tink, tinting done.

Speaker 3 (02:27:06):
It's more like emptying a five gallon buckets.

Speaker 1 (02:27:08):
But uh yeah, so, I mean, you know, so if
you're gonna live in a place like Wyoming, you have
to be prepared in your vehicle in case you do
get stuck out there in the.

Speaker 2 (02:27:20):
Cold or Texas during a freak winner storm.

Speaker 1 (02:27:23):
Well yeah, exactly exactly. Now, Texas is another good one. Now,
parts of western Texas is too dry, but if you
are more on the eastern side, there's a lot more
fresh water and lakes.

Speaker 3 (02:27:36):
You know, their laws are pretty good.

Speaker 4 (02:27:40):
Honestly, I think Tennessee would be a good one.

Speaker 2 (02:27:42):
Lots of game, lots of dude. Texas isn't as Texas
as Texas wants to be. They're really not. That's why
a lot of people. I know a lot of people
live in Texas and the majority of them now are
moving into Oklahoma just because well because of the tax codes.
Yeah yeah, and the tax codes the liberties that are

(02:28:04):
being stripped from them into Texas. In certain areas, they're like, bro,
why are we here? That's why brand like we can
move up like one hundred and fifty miles.

Speaker 3 (02:28:13):
That's why Brandon is running for District twenty three.

Speaker 1 (02:28:16):
Yeah, you know again, and I think he'll actually win
this time because he was only a couple percentage points
down that time, you know, and he was outspent ten
to one. Oh yeah, you know, but he's got a
lot more backing now, yeah, from you know.

Speaker 2 (02:28:34):
The major conservative populace. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:28:37):
Yeah, So I mean it should be good.

Speaker 4 (02:28:38):
All the Californians moveing to Texas and Colorado and dude.

Speaker 2 (02:28:43):
That that still worries me a lot. Are seeing a
lot of blue state populations moving into red states. It
worries me, but it gives me hope at the same time,
because you're like, are these people that are decent folk?
They're trying to a sleep that.

Speaker 4 (02:29:00):
But they're not because when the voting comes around, they're
they're voting.

Speaker 2 (02:29:03):
Blue, voting the same God dang.

Speaker 4 (02:29:05):
And it's like, okay, so you guys are for us,
and then all of a sudden, when the voting comes around,
you you're four, you know, decide that you come from
and it's like, so, why are you paid to be
here to vote for us or not for us, but
for them?

Speaker 3 (02:29:22):
Can you imagine voting for us?

Speaker 5 (02:29:24):
No?

Speaker 1 (02:29:25):
I mean, like you know what I mean, Like it's
like I've had people tell me that I that I
should run because I've been so active in uh like
politics in the past. My father was the same way
and everything. Yeah, but I've said no, I can't because
gen X grew up in Miami in the eighties. Okay,

(02:29:45):
there are so many skeletons in my closet.

Speaker 2 (02:29:49):
No, I mean it would be stupid.

Speaker 1 (02:29:51):
Yeah, it really would not take much digging to pull
up some stuff that you know would be like no, no, no,
not even gonna go there. Once the ship hits the
fan and you're looking for a warlord to run a
certain area exactly, you know, I.

Speaker 2 (02:30:11):
Mean, when you when the skeletons don't matter anymore exactly.

Speaker 3 (02:30:15):
Yeah, yeah, you know, I'll be the mayor of of
for like defiance, you know what I mean. You know,
I'm fine with that.

Speaker 4 (02:30:22):
Skeletons are good. The skeletons are good.

Speaker 2 (02:30:26):
Some of them are.

Speaker 4 (02:30:28):
It brings up the like the goodness and like what
needs to happen.

Speaker 2 (02:30:33):
Like I said, some of them are.

Speaker 3 (02:30:35):
Just make sure you take out the teeth, you.

Speaker 4 (02:30:38):
Know, those are the devils or demons.

Speaker 3 (02:30:44):
There that the body sat. So except for.

Speaker 1 (02:30:54):
Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, except for the areas that are Nukerable,
which is mostly the plane area the planes, but if
you go to the more actual Rocky Mountain you know area,
Now there's something else though. With those areas you gotta
be careful. Much less possibility of it happening, but it's
still it's not without realm of possibility. Yellowstone going boom,

(02:31:18):
I mean, and you know you don't to be anywhere
near there if that blows and.

Speaker 3 (02:31:23):
Give nukes dropping it considered.

Speaker 2 (02:31:25):
Dude, I swear to god, I'm like that could be
the trigger they would say yellow so at all. Okay,
so that much seismic activity, Oh yeah, you guys.

Speaker 4 (02:31:34):
Are talking about the tunnel, right, the tunnel what you
were talking about, So they were talking about blowing it,
but they don't want to blow it because they're worried
about triggering a earthquake. So that's when it fell off
of what we do about it. I mean maybe the

(02:31:56):
next earthquake kept it open.

Speaker 3 (02:31:59):
So yeah, So in my opinion, the best place in
the country though, is the southeast in general.

Speaker 2 (02:32:05):
Yes, you know Southeast in general, because we're not a
desert area. I mean it's a we're almost tropical, like
if you really look.

Speaker 1 (02:32:14):
At Florida's long and skinny. Miami that's tropical. Where we
are here is in between by the time you get
the Jacksonville.

Speaker 2 (02:32:24):
Yeah, but this this is a very conducive environment to survival.
I mean, if you can avoid the goddening mosquitoes.

Speaker 1 (02:32:35):
Nat snakes, the crocodiles, the bull sharks. Okay, maybe we're not, uh,
the red blessed, red breasted orange, Boston trail knob gobblers,
you know, crackheads.

Speaker 2 (02:32:56):
Hence gobblers. It's one of the same. I mean, you know,
it's not perfect. Hear Listen, I'm gonna tell you when
s H T F you're gonna want one of them
crackheads in your group because dude, homeboy will survive on anything.
And you're like, bro, what would you do really, because

(02:33:16):
I'm gonna do.

Speaker 4 (02:33:17):
That right out right, out right out.

Speaker 3 (02:33:20):
Wild monkeys with herpes that right.

Speaker 2 (02:33:22):
Around yeah, you know. Yeah. They're actually on the island
in the middle of Lake Yeah. Makes an island there there.

Speaker 1 (02:33:29):
Yeah, which would always make me wonder. You're You're like,
Buddy goes out on his airboat, comes back and he
has herpes. Afterwards, you know, it's like, what the fuck
were you doing out there? I mean, who knows, you know,
what happened, what happens on Monkey Island stas So, Yeah,
I mean the southeast. I mean there are other places

(02:33:51):
in the country that have pros and cons, you.

Speaker 2 (02:33:53):
Know, like Maine. Bro, you know main Yes, but the
only con to it really is the cold. Other than that,
Main is a would be a great state for survival, right,
but dude, it just gets cold is wow? Wow?

Speaker 4 (02:34:15):
Canada you listen, but see that.

Speaker 3 (02:34:19):
Totally blows the old good law thing.

Speaker 4 (02:34:21):
Well yeah, you know, you know, when is that in place?
If ship hits spam?

Speaker 2 (02:34:27):
I mean, but even still Canada, Yeah, bro, it's cold.
R It's like twenty five degrees on the good summer day.
Why why? And the wind's blowing like seventy miles an hour.

Speaker 1 (02:34:43):
I don't know, Wyoming the wind, yeah, wor's the color?
Oh yeah, when I lived in Wyoming, Oh my god,
bright sunny day, you got eighty mile an hour winds?

Speaker 2 (02:34:52):
Yeah? For no reason? Yeah, dude, I had a buddy
he lived in North Dakota for a while. Yeah, and
he was driving truck for the oil fields, and that's
what he's and he's like, dude, he goes, you'd wake
up in the morning. He goes, you'd look out your window,
beautiful sunny day, and you're like, hell yeah, you'd walk
outside into a fifty mile an hour wind and it
would be fifty miles an hour all day long. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:35:12):
We always had the semis tip over.

Speaker 2 (02:35:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:35:15):
Yeah, if you're if, if you're like running.

Speaker 2 (02:35:19):
Empty, oh yeah, you're done.

Speaker 4 (02:35:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:35:21):
Well by a.

Speaker 1 (02:35:22):
Friend of mine that used to drive a rigon, I
used to go on the road with him and we
were up it was we we had dropped off a
load up at one of the paper mills.

Speaker 2 (02:35:34):
So now, oh, I thought you were gonna sail on
the side of obt No, like.

Speaker 1 (02:35:37):
We were empty coming back. I think it was Michigan.
It may have been like Minnesota up in that area though.

Speaker 2 (02:35:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:35:44):
And the winds we were whipping and we were coming
down a a off ramp. It was a pretty tight one.
Concrete varriers on both sides, and all you see down
both sides are chunks taking out.

Speaker 2 (02:35:57):
In entire tracks, right, And I was new to the.

Speaker 1 (02:36:02):
Whole trucking thing then, and I was like, damn, what
happened here? Next thing I know, I'm feeling his empty trailer.

Speaker 2 (02:36:09):
Oh yeah, man, maam just back.

Speaker 1 (02:36:12):
On either slamming the entire way down, just racking it
and we Yeah, you see those videos on YouTube all
the time. The truck boom just drop right on his
side behind him.

Speaker 2 (02:36:25):
Crazy. Yeah, that's wild to see, like an eighteen wheeler,
like van trailer just tip over.

Speaker 4 (02:36:34):
What has happened right now?

Speaker 3 (02:36:37):
So are there any other states that you that you know,
like Alaska makes a lot of the things it does.

Speaker 4 (02:36:43):
But yeah, when they have the what is it a
whole year no of darkness and then.

Speaker 2 (02:36:50):
No, no, that's it's like a month of all darkness
and then it's like the transition between the two to
the Arctic Service or that's pronounced.

Speaker 1 (02:37:01):
Yeah, if you're way down south like Kodiak, it's not bad,
it's not at all.

Speaker 4 (02:37:05):
Yeah, that's a whole mental thing yea.

Speaker 2 (02:37:07):
Yeah, well that's why. So, like when I went to
Alaska in ninety six, they were telling us that during
that phase of the winter when it's all darkness, basically
the whole town becomes dry. You can't buy beer, you
can't buy alcohol of any sort because it basically it
bucks with your head. Yeah, and it throws a lot

(02:37:28):
of people into depression and they were telling us that, like,
in that one area we were at, it becomes completely dry.
You cannot buy any booze, and their suicide rate is
still like five times the national average or some crap.
Because people get do they get depressed. You're in the
dark for a whole month.

Speaker 1 (02:37:49):
Like No.

Speaker 3 (02:37:51):
There was a movie Thirty Days of Night.

Speaker 4 (02:37:54):
I've seen that, Yeah, vampire flick.

Speaker 1 (02:37:58):
It was actually pretty damn and I like the whole
the whole idea because they have thirty days of night,
the vampires can do whatever they want.

Speaker 2 (02:38:06):
Yeah, you know that was actually a really good movie. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:38:08):
I was called the Vampire Dinner day. I was telling
the lady at the grocery store, she's actually my idea,
and I was like, I'm gonna surprise you, just like
you vampire. I was like no, and I was like,
I telling her I had an eighteen year old, I
have an eleven year old, I have a two year old,
and just like you're a vampire.

Speaker 2 (02:38:29):
Was really cool.

Speaker 1 (02:38:31):
There's this New and Right series song about about vampires.
I was just watching a commercial for it and it's
a scene where this it's a female vampire but you
can't tell, and then it's the guy and she says
something to and he's like, I don't believe in vampires,
and she like, no one believes in vampires.

Speaker 2 (02:38:51):
Until they meet one.

Speaker 1 (02:38:52):
Yeah, and she smiles in her teeth and I had
it just like, oh shit, just as long as you
don't kill me, he can whatever.

Speaker 5 (02:39:00):
Yeah, you know, let me why not, you know, like
Ryan Reynolds and that uh you know three yes, oh yeah,
come to find out her fangs were in her vagina. Okay,

As he goes to puberty?

Speaker 2 (02:39:44):

that was. By the way, folks, I'm only actually fourteen.
I mean we might go to knock that out next weekend. Okay,
we might be able to. I gotta go finish some
projects that I started this weekend, but maybe on like
Sunday evening, ish yeah, we could probably do that. We

(02:40:05):
