Boom m h.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Welcome, Welcome to Sunday Valanrie. I am your humble host, Ellanrie.
You know I got all these buttons sitting here. I
wonder what to happen if I pressed them all at
the same time. Let's find out that was cool? Anyway,
good evening. I am totally unprepared to do this show.

(04:02):
I thought we were gonna do a playing in the
dirt tonight. I think my co host Stacy, I think
she just fell asleep. She's been tired, folks, she has
been working her butt off. Let me tell you what
that poor lady. I feel bad, so.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Give her the night off.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Rest up, my dear friend, Stacy. We'll catch up later.
I'm sure on a playing in the dirt kind of note.
I am. I had a really good dinner tonight. I
made some brats out on the grill. And on those brats,
I took the pickles, the refrigerator pickles that I made myself.

(04:38):
And these are the ones that I took in jolapeno pepper,
and I cut off both ends and put it down
into the pickle Brian with the cucumbers and let it marinate.
So these pickles have this this little bite to them,
and they're really good. The fact they I'm I'm, I'm

(04:59):
kind of I've impressed with myself that I thought up
that all by myself. I'm sure somebody else has. But
I put a couple of those on it, put some
other things on the sprat, and my wife made salsa.
First batch of salsa from the garden. Tomatoes are from
the garden, peppers are from the garden. Oh so good, saga.

(05:19):
She makes the best salsa ever. Anyways, turn this up
a little bit, I think I could get some squeeze
more volume. Yes, there we go, And it was just
a good dinner. There is something about eating food that
you have harvested that makes it taste so much better,

(05:41):
whether it's a venison or like rabbit stew, things from
your garden, things you've forged. You can go up down
the railroad tracks out back in different places in this area,
and in the springtime you can get fresh asparagus. It
grows like crazy out here. And cooking up a steak
and putting that asparagus on the side. There's something about

(06:01):
harvesting your own food that just improves the flavor at
least seventy five percent. You know where it's coming from,
you know you're the only hands that have touched it.
You know that you have shot the critters trying to
get into I mean no, I didn't say, yeah, you've
eliminated the critters trying to get into your garden. You

(06:23):
have fought for that food. Kind of makes you feel
all cave managed. Yes, good evening, everybody, Hello to everybody
in chat, thank you for joining in. You got already
he was first as usual. You got Politics Junkie PJ.
Good evening, you got Jeff who had just heard lost
wonder great show, great show, all things space and how

(06:48):
about that uranus report. Huh huh. So anyways, a great night,
Sunday night. Here the Vincent Charles Project earlier tonight, absolutely hysterical,
love that show. Carn's reading room took a hiatus. He's
got some family things going on. Keep him in your prayers.
But here we are Cale Iron Radio on a Sunday night,

(07:09):
loving life. And of course, you know, being completely unprepared,
I'm just gonna like scan the headlines and see what
we want to talk about. And when you bring up
the headlines, the first thing you see, of course is
the National Guard takeover of Washington d C. Absolutely hysterical. A. Yeah,

(07:33):
you know, I'm not the world's biggest trump many. I
love what he's doing. Don't get me wrong. I mean,
I don't hate him, but I'm not gonna say here
in gush over everything he does. But some of the
things he does just cracks me up. Cracks me up.
If I ever meet him face to face, I will

(07:54):
shake the man's hand, give him a big bear hug. Man.
You're the most entertaining president I've ever seen in my life.
The man actually has the Democrat Party taking an official
stance saying that they want crime back. Crime has dropped

(08:23):
to almost nothing in the DC area. And by the way,
they're bringing the Constitution into it, the Constitution has absolutely
nothing that says that he cannot clamp down on Washington
d C. Now, if he actually goes into a state
and does the same thing, there may be some legal
issues that he will have to contend with. Washington d

(08:43):
C is not a state. As much as people on
the left would just pound on their chest and jump
up and down and screech. We want Washington d C
has state it's not, nor shall it ever be. It's not.
It's a district. They did that because it is the

(09:05):
capital of the United States of America, and he has
the constitutional duty to protect that capital. That capital is
overrun with crime, over run with prostitution, over run with
illegal aliens. And it's kind of funny to kind of

(09:30):
browse the headlines and look at the look at the propaganda.
The propaganda's there, it's there. They can't help but try
to spend this. Of course. CBS News. Maryland Governor Wesmore
calls Trump DC national Guard deployment constitutional n PR. Here's NPR. Oh,

(09:55):
they're talking about that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, you know, the
illegal alien on the tier that he's basically, you know,
human trafficker, has done a lot of other things. Uh.
Abrego and Garcia expected to be detained by Ice again,
attorney says. So they're they're absolutely furious. Oh, here we go.

(10:15):
Here's the page. This is what I was looking for.
Here's the stuff on the Uh, let's see Trump. Oh, CNN.
Trump's DC takeover produces moderate drop in crime and a
huge spike in immigration. Rest. They can't give them the win.
They can't. It's against it's against their creed to give
anything on the right a win. So they're saying, you know,

(10:37):
it's just a little bitty dropping crime, but a huge
spike in immigration arrests. Okay, we'll take that. By the way,
they're not immigrants, they're illegal aliens. They're not immigrants. Immigrants
are here legally, and the leftist media absolutely loves to,
you know, try to confuse it to make them synonymous.

(11:02):
They're not. However, folks, it's synonymous. They are the furthest
Immigrants are here legally. Immigrants are here, They're welcome here.
We pretty much are all immigrants to this nation or
our families of Yes, I do have a little bit
of Native American blood in me. But it's kind of funny.

(11:23):
The lion's share is Germans who came over here before
there was the United States of America, on both sides
of my family. That's the funniest thing. So there's a
difference between immigrants and illegal aliens. But the way the
brainwashing left wing nutbag media likes to present it is

(11:47):
that these are poor immigrants. They came here looking for
a better life. And Donald Jumps throwing them out. Now
they're illegal aliens, and I don't care who's president. Up
until Barahack Obama's second term, where the Communist Party USA
slash Socialist Part of the USA cornered him and said, hey, dude, listen,

(12:10):
we're losing our voter base. We need to import voters.
We need to move these voters into red rural areas,
and we need to turn these areas blue to fundamentally transform.
And I quote this right off Socialist USA's website. I
don't know if it's still on there, but when I

(12:32):
was doing an investigation over the migrant caravans that were
coming out of South America, both the Socialist USA and
Communist Part of the USA websites had to fundamentally transform
the way America votes. Is why they were getting these
caravans to come here and trying to keep them here.
They didn't even try to hide it. So it goes

(12:54):
back to Barack Obama's second term. Before that second term,
called the Deporter in Chief. They don't like to remember
that stuff. See, this is a plan. It's not just coincidence.
It is a plan that not only involves the Democrat Party,
it involves the United Nations, it involves a Sorels Foundation,

(13:17):
it involves the World Health Organization. These people have all
gotten together in cahoots and they have decided that any
any First world nation, especially those nasty, disgusting, horrible white people's,
need to be taken down. They need to be flooded, flooded,

(13:41):
flooded with anybody except other white people, because white people
need to go away. And I'm not just saying this
to be some kind of racist or anything. I'm not racist.
I don't care what colored people are. I really truly don't.
They have said this openly, they this constantly. The United

(14:03):
Nations has made it publicly known that they A want
the United States of American citizen completely unarmed. Well gee,
I wonder why. And B they want at least two million,
two million people coming across our border. They don't want
them checked, they don't want them vetted. They just want

(14:24):
them flooding the border every year. Doesn't take long to
realize how many people would be here in about ten years,
does it. And the funny thing about it is, if
you remember back to the Biden administration, when Joe Widen,
you know, drooling on himself probably coked up, or it

(14:47):
could have been a body double who knows, looked into
the camera and said, well, we have to pro we
have to pass this legislation, this immigrant legislation. We have
to pass it so or we can't do anything about
the war, can't do anything about unless we pass it. Well,
in that legislation, and the reason it failed, the reason
it got you know, sidetracked, the reason it got buried,

(15:09):
is because in that legislation it had right in there
that they weren't going to do anything about the border
problem until the threshold was two million immigrants a year
come across, just like the United Nations has been demanding
for several First World countries for the past eight to

(15:30):
ten years. Are you awake yet so? Having law and
order restored? And trust me, folks, that don't get me wrong.

(15:51):
It should never have gotten as bad and never gone
as far to have needed the National Guard called in
to restore law and order. It should never have gotten
that far ever, but it did. And quite honestly, all

(16:12):
blue cities are like that. When you refuse to enforce laws,
when you justify allowing lawlessness, disorder, immorality to take over
a city in the name of equity, not equal equality equity,

(16:34):
which means, well, this is a protected class, so we're
just gonna let them off the hook. Oh, they kill
a few people, who cares. Meanwhile, normal moral people, law
abiding citizens are cowering in their homes because they know
if something happens to them, there will be no legal

(16:56):
recourse against the perpetrator. Somebody braks into your house, holds
a knife up to your kids, says, you know, give
me all the money you have, or little Jimmy gets
his throat slit, scares you have to death, makes it
where you can't sleep at night, makes it where you're
terrified to even go out in the day. And you've

(17:17):
got some left wing neo socialist judge that looks at
this person and goes, yeah, let them out on twenty
dollars bond. Hey, don't do that again, promise. Okay, well
just let them out, and if you do do it again,
we're just gonna let you out on maybe a thirty
dollars bond next time, or maybe don't bond at all.
Because you're a protected class. You don't know any better.

(17:43):
This is why these cities have gotten so bad, and
they will not admit to this. Because if they do
admit to this, then they have to admit that the
entire DEI agenda has failed. If they do admit that
black people, brown people, anybody really do actually understand that

(18:09):
they are breaking the law. And I know, the soft
bigotry of low expectations is huge here. If they do
admit that these people actually do understand that they are
breaking the law, it's not it's not something they can't comprehend,
it's something they were groomed to do from a very
young age, then they have to admit that the whole

(18:31):
DEI thing is a failure. It's a fake, it's a bomb.
And if you look at some more of these headlines
about the whole National Guard thing in DC, that's the NPR.
DC's crime numbers are all the buzz, But how do
we interpret them accurately? Oh, let's click on this one,

(18:55):
ladies and gentlemen, let's click on this one. Let's let's
let's figure this out. National Propaganda Radio, you know, all
the ones that got defunded. They're going to tell us
how to interpret this data. You can't just look at
the data and say, oh, look, there hasn't been a
car jacking in a x amount of days. There hasn't

(19:16):
been a murder x amount of days. Do you have
to interpret it just right? Let's look at ZNA. This
is a surprise to me, folks. I haven't clicked on
this yet. I haven't even prepared for this show. But
here I am. August nineteenth, twenty twenty five, five twenty
nine am Amid President Trump's ongoing feud with local leaders

(19:38):
of the nation's capital, both sides have pointed to crime
statistics to make their case on how safe or unsafe
the city really is. It has been a week since
Trump declared crime emergency in Washington, DC and deploy the
National Guard to patrol the city streets. It's reasoning for
the move. The White House described crime in DC is
out of control, moaning that the city's homicide rateing twenty

(20:00):
twenty four was nearly double what it was in twenty twelve. Meanwhile,
DC mary Mayor Muriel Bowser pushed back and noted that
violent crime is at a thirty year role well low, Well,
of course it's at a thirty year low when you
don't report it, and she's been caught red handed not
reporting the crimes. When you just make crime legal, of

(20:25):
course it's going to be low. She acknowledged that there
was a crime spike in twenty twenty three, but argued
that violence has significantly declined since then. I don't believe her,
don't believe at all. They're just not keeping it on
the record. So anyways, let's see blah blah blah blah blah,

(20:46):
back and forth the odd. Okay, here we go, how
to interpret crime data? Okay, the National propaganda radio is
going to tell us. Oh, they're going to enlighten us
on how to interpret the crime data. The city's homicide
rate in twenty twenty four was roughly around twenty five
per one hundred thousand residents, nearly twice the rate as

(21:08):
in twenty twelve, but it was thirteen point nine per
one hundred thousand residents, according to NPR analysis of FBI data. Okay,
so in twenty twelve it was thirteen point nine. Now
it's twenty five per one hundred thousand residents. FBI data
also shows that homicide rate in DC has been steadily
climbing since twenty twelve, when the city hit a historic

(21:29):
fifty year low. At the same time, the twenty twenty
four rate is nowhere near levels seen in early nineteen nineties,
when DC was dubbed the nation's murder capital. According to
Thomas E. F. Thomas Abt, the founding director of Center
for the Study of Practice of Violence Reduction at the
University of Maryland, Okay, here we go. Well, guys, it

(21:52):
was a lot worse back in nineteen ninety. It was horrible.
In nineteen ninety it was eighty people. Okay, So in
terms of murder, this is NPR again. In terms of murdered,
ec is much better off than it was in the nineties.
They're not killing as many people. Things got steadily worth

(22:17):
starting in twenty twelve, but there was a dramatic turnaround
about two years ago, he said, referring to how violent
crime has fallen substantially in twenty twenty four and so far.
So they're gonna tell you, they're telling you right now
that even though even though the crime rate is up,
even though it's doubled since twenty twelve, well, it's just
not as bad. It's not as bad. If you look

(22:38):
at the nineteen ninety one statistics, they were way out
of it. They're huge, they were way up there, and
now it's just not as bad. Even though it's bad.
Out of one hundred thousand people, twenty five people are

(22:58):
going to have a crime commit it against them. It's ridiculous.
And you know, darn well. Now in twenty twenty three
they show a spike and went up to thirty eight
point seven and then it dropped, and you know what
that drop is, and they've been caught doing this. That
drop is they've basically wiped the numbers, they fudged the numbers.

(23:24):
They found her and the person running DC. They've been
caught doing it, and they're having a hard time saying
that they haven't been caught. But anyways, you know, it's

(23:51):
that whole case of it's still raining fire and brimstone
on your head, but just not as much fire and brimstone.
So you really shouldn't worry about it. We let it go. Well,
this tells me is that the National Guard should have
been called in in nineteen ninety one and smack this
entire thing down to the ground. That's what it tells me.

(24:18):
So yeah, all of the left wing rags are basically
you know, their question, they want you to question it.
Time magazine Trump paints a picture of DC's crime ridden
hell hole here are the facts. Now they're gonna do
the same thing. They go right back to nineteen ninety
one where it was really, really bad. Oh it's still bad,
but it's just not as bad as it used to be. Now,

(24:41):
if you did that exact same thing with climate data,
what you can do, by the way, they would call
you a liar. They would do everything they can to
silence you. You could take that same chart and it
resembles climate data quite a bit. Oh boy, oh boy,

(25:02):
there's a year. You're just not reading it right. You
got to read it the way that journalists read it.
Journalists read it the right way. Nobody else does. It's
kind of funny. Oh what other kind of fun can
we have tonight? I'm telling you? So, speaking of climate change,

(25:22):
the North is heading for a big climate change. It
is going to get down to almost fifty degrees tonight.
We're talking October weather tonight. You can feel it out there. Oh,
it's beautiful. It's gonna be great sleeping weather. I'm gonna
be rolled up like a burrito in my blankets. But

(25:45):
it's going to cost some issues later on in the week. So,
and it costs the last night, not even kidding, I
was out on the patio last night, enjoying myself, relaxing. Actually,
we're after a pretty good day work. I can do
that now. My shoulders starting to feel better. I can
do some heavy lifting, some construction stuff. Oh, it was

(26:08):
so nice. And I was sitting out there and if
it wasn't for Michigan storm chasers pinging the YouTube channel
and me looking at them, and one of them is
just the town, you know, my same time as my address.
Basically it's just about six miles northeast of me. Said,
look at this beautiful shelf cloud right over the top

(26:28):
of this town. And I'm like what. And I looked
around my front yard, around the house, and I was like, oh,
my gosh, it looks like it's gonna rain. I started
looking around. It's like, oh, there's a storm rolling in.
I barely got everything put away, came inside and it
broke loose. Beautiful rainstorm just pouring and it ushered in

(26:48):
this front and it's been slowly starting to cool down
all day football weather. I'm gonna take a break. When
to come back, we'll discuss more stuff. Don't go anywhere.

Sunday Night of Alan Ray. Welcome back to the show.
It is the show where we take a look around
this giant blue ball that we are hurling this base
and unimaginable speeds, and we asked the question.

Speaker 7 (29:56):
What the wide wide world of sportunes are going on here?

Speaker 4 (30:00):
If you ever figured it out, let me know, because
all I see is which is only proper it really is. Anyways,
we're gonna get cool them getting a cool them fall
like weather. According to M Live, which take it as
it comes. I mean most of the time they're fairly accurate.

(30:22):
They do some things that are kind of cool sometimes.
Just got to watch what they say M Live, which
is like a Michigan thing. Sas we haven't said this
in months, it might be time to dig out your
sweater by the end of this weekend. Chili temps her
ahead for much of Michigan by this weekend today and Friday.
Course this is a couple of days ago, and even

(30:42):
Saturday for some of this week, and keep asking in
some theer weather, but after that it's going to feel
more like fall, and next week we'll be topping out
in the sixties. Now you'll look at this, you go
through it. Let's see National Weather Service forecast dry weather
through Friday, temperatures in the Savdaiess' eighties. A strong cold
front will move through the state Friday night into Saturday,

(31:04):
much cooler air. Blah blah blah. You know what, I
don't see, You know, I don't see. I don't see
anything that says that this was due to man made
climate change. Now, if we would have had a bump
in temperature, so it was going to be ninety five
all week olds man made climate change, global warming. There's

(32:18):
a thing in there that says, al hopefully we'll be
right back. And here I am. I'm back now, I'm back.
Hopefully you can hear me now, folks. I'm getting new
internet this week, Lord Willing. However, it's going to be

(32:40):
a little rough because I'm planning on taking the entire
month of September off. I'm looking at my schedule and yep, hopefully,
hopefully I'm back. Now. I'm going to be gone for
like the next three weekends in a row. I'm being
kidnapped next week and I'm turning sixty the week next week,

(33:02):

just gonna be gone. So I'm planning on taking the
month of September off. The only way, the only thing
that might happen is if Stacy wants to do a
show a week after next maybe we'll do that. But
it looks like I'm back. Ah, thank you, Jeff. I

(33:25):
got Jeff's message, so so yeah, we're back. Anyway, I'm
getting fiber optics out here, and I'm excited because hopefully
the dropping the thing. We got this wireless crap out here.

(33:46):
It's basically glorified cell service is all it is, and
it's it's okay ish a lot of the times, but
it's not okay doing what we're doing here, and it's
very unreliable. It drops a lot, and if there's any
kind of atmosphere conditions, that drops a lot because it
is basically radio transmitted, so all coverage is a radio.

(34:08):
Everything's a radio that's not direct hardwire, and it drops
all the time like this, and I'm tired of it,
quite truthfully, I'm disgusted by it. But anyways, uh yeah,
they're supposed to be putting it in Wednesday, Tuesday, Wednesday
this week and hopefully Lord willing I'm gonna have a
high speed but yes, I am going to be taking
probably the entire month of September off. I gotta, I gotta,

(34:31):
I gotta collect myself. I gotta do some rethinking and
probably some re looking at this program itself and maybe
even bringing you some different things. Now that I can
probably stream video and everything else, I'm gonna make myself
a little more independent and I don't know, try to
step up. Try to step up just a little bit

(34:53):
for you. I enjoy doing this show, I really do.
But I'm just going to have a one heck of
a busy September and it's just gonna mean I'm not
gonna have time to really dedicate to bringing you a
good show, which I usually fly by the seat of
my pants. Anyways, I seriously do not even kidding. I
mean I plan, I plan a little bit, but I
don't go whole hog. I like to be as surprised

(35:16):
as you are at the stuff that comes out of
my mouth. Yes I do so. Anyways, it's a big
cool down. It feels like football weather football season is up, honest,
and I mean college football. I don't really care too
much about professional football. I really don't but I'm really

(35:37):
hoping that the Lions do good again this year. It
was refreshing to see a good Lions team this year,
it really was. So we'll see how that goes. But anyways,
so I hope everybody has a really good September. And
I am turning sixty next week, not this coming week,
but the week after. I don't feel too bad for

(36:00):
being sixty. I really don't. Yes, the already Packard school
of podcasting. Just throw it out there, see what sticks
to the wall. Let you guys know that I'm having fun.
Talk about anything I want. I can talk about anything
I want. It's my show. It's Sunday Night with Elen Ray.

(36:21):
I don't even have to do politics. I can do anything.
I can talk about. Tropical Storm Ferdinand coming across right now,
gotta miss the United States. It looks like it is.
It is hurricane season. I don't have to remind you,
but it is hurricane season. So if you live on
the coast where it is a hurricane, and I said
this last week, I'll say it again, take precautions now. Now,

(36:47):
have basics ready. Now. A lot of people who live
on the coast, friends of mine who live on the coast,
they say, well, we're kind of already ready. Most of
the time anyway, it's like, well, do you tell other
people ready, because I don't see it. It just seems
like every time there's a major hurricane, there's this portion

(37:11):
of the population that just has this deer in the headlights.
Look like we had no idea that living in Florida
was gonna have weather that could kill us, that this
is just those big hurricanes. How long you been here? Well,
all my life really really so you're like a cat
that gets on the counter. The cat gets on the counter,
You put it down and say no, kiddy, stay down,

(37:32):
and jumps back on the counter. You have to put
the kiddie back down, said kittie, stop it. He puts
get back on the counter. You knock it off the counter.
He jumps down the counter. You grab it, you're throw
it across the room, and he says start. He comes over,
he jumps back on the counter. That's the kind of
mentality these people have. How many times you have to
get hit by a hurricane before you realize that you
are not invincible and that these things, you know, it's
not the wind of the hurricane that kills you. It's

(37:55):
what the wind blows, stop signs, trees, cars, lots of water,
lots of water. So we got them coming across. They're
coming across the ocean right now. So get your stuff
prepared now. Not to mention the facts that you know

(38:16):
the fact that when you are prepared, then when you're told,
hey you got to evacuate, or hey you got to
take cover if you're in land, whatever, you're ready. You
don't have to go to the store and face all
these mobs. And I you know, I go grocery shopping
on Sundays, and my wife and I are balls. She's

(38:37):
got the same mentality I do. It's like a gorilla
warf everything. We hit that grocery store, get our stuff,
and get out as fast as we can, because after
about twenty minutes twenty five thirty minutes in a grocery store,
your brain starts leaking out of your head and you
start getting really aggravating and you can start getting road ragy.
So we got to get in and get out. Well,

(38:57):
I can't imagine I can't imagine being in a place
where all of a sudden it's panic buying, because oh
my gosh, in twenty four hours the storm's gonna hit us.
We have to get milk, bread and eggs because we're
gonna make French toast. That's a joke for people in
the North because every time there's her blizzard, you know,

(39:18):
everybody rushes out, get bread, milk, and eggs. So what
are you gonna do? Make French toast. French toast is
the official blizzard survival food, and it is good. I mean,
we've gotten to the point now my family, for a
long time now, we kind of actually did that as
a joke, Oh, blizzard's coming, let's make French toast. And
it was kind of funny, and it became a habit,

(39:38):
you know, it became a kind of a tradition. Already
you're exactly right, already says I can survive on her
mile power wins. Oh really can you? Can you survive
a one hundred mile pro or two by four? That's
just like a tornado most of the time tornadoes, I mean,
the odds of your house getting hit by a tornado
are pretty slim, But the odds of you getting hit

(39:59):
by what that tornado slinging around at one hundred miles
an hour, they increased quite a bit. That's why you
really need to take cover? So how anyways, I can
talk till I'm blue in the face about survival, about

(40:20):
slimming the odds down. And let's face it, folks, that's
what survival is all about. That's what prepping is all about.
Prepping is not about going out and buying a bunch
of stuff and going, yeap, I bought all this stuff.
I'm ready. Prepping is more mental than anything. And if
you get into these prepper videos, and I was watching
one this week and the guy was he was ripping

(40:42):
on things, he goes, look, guys, this is the trap
I fell into. Every time I'd watch a prepper video
and they would go, oh, you got to have one
of these. I'd run out and buy one of these.
What did I end up with? I ended up with
like thousands of dollars of junk that would be absolutely worthless.
If the proverbial dud who hits the van are basic
things you need to get, basic things you need to buy,

(41:02):
basic things you need to store up, first aid kit, shelter,
you know, a tire, a few things like that. But
in reality, there's a lot of things that these people
are just they're they're pimping. They're pushing to make money
on their YouTube channels. You don't need most of it.
You need the basics. You need to think basics. That's

(41:25):
what it's called survival. You need to have an extended
plan for thriving if there's long term survival needed. But
a seventy two hour bag basics. You don't need a
game boy in a seventy two hour bag. If you
want communication in your seventy two hour bag, make a

(41:45):
basic communication. Yeah, go ahead, put your bowl fang in there.
It's fine, go ahead. Put a few things in there,
like a deck of cards that might keep you entertained,
because morale is important. But if you've got a seventy
two pound bag, bug out bag of crap that you
need to carry around, all it's going to do is

(42:08):
slow you down and make you miserable, especially in a
time where you may need to move pretty quickly. So
that's your lesson, your bug out bag lesson for hurricanes,
and don't stick around. Let me tell you leave, leave,
get out. If they tell you hey, you should think

(42:29):
about going. In fact, people who live in these hurricane zones,
especially people who have lived there their entire life, should
already know when that order is coming. They should already
be able to look at that weather and go, you know,
maybe this is a good time to visit Georgia. That's
a good time to visit Nashville, Tennessee. Let's go, honey,

(42:52):
let's rent a hotel. Let's get out of here before
they make the official announcement and all the roads are
jammed up and you can't go anywhere. That's just how
it is. You gotta play it smart. And of course,
how do you depend on the news these days? Seriously,

(43:15):
how do you rely on the news for anything? I mean,
the news is trying to tell you that they can
predict the weather fifty years from now, and that unless
we kill off half the population in fifty years, it's
gonna be doom doom, And they can't predict the weather

(43:36):
in three days. Last night we got that big thunderstorm. Okay,
I've got three different weather apps. Two of them said
we were not going to get any rain at all.
One of them said the chances are slim, there may
be a pop up storm. And it poured poured lightning, thunder.

Speaker 6 (43:58):
Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies, rivers and seas.

Speaker 7 (44:01):
Boiling, forty years.

Speaker 4 (44:02):
Of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes, bed rising from the green, human sacrifice,
dogs and cats living together. Massistaria wasn't quite that bad.
There's a really pretty storm. But I'm just saying that
the experts couldn't even predict that was coming. How are
the experts trying to predict weather fifty years from now?

(44:23):
How are they predicting that? You know, there's gonna be
all this doom and the people are gonna be dying,
And if you don't give us more power and more money,
then then the weather is gonna be really really bad.
You don't know, They don't really know. But you need

(44:49):
to be prepped anyway. You don't have to go out
of your way. You can prep on a budget, you
really can. You can get tarps from harbor Freight, learn
how to make a little portable shelter. You can get
cans of food that last quite a while. Get a

(45:09):
little roll cart if you have to get out of
town really quick that you can roll out. You really
don't need to buy a whole lot to be prepped up.
And if you live in an area where there is
a possibility of something like like some kind of typhoon, earthquakes, wildfires, hurricanes.

(45:34):
You need to be ready. And it's just crazy that
you don't have something sitting right there that you can
throw in your vehicle and take off, or already in
your vehicle, or that you can grab and walk away.
And I'm telling you right now, these people that have

(45:54):
these backpacks in their vehicle and they weigh thirty forty
pounds worth of stuff, my question to them right now
is have you ever strapped that backpack on your back
and walked three to five miles just to see if
you can do it? I bet you. I can't say

(46:16):
this as a fact, but I bet you eighty percent
of them will look you in the I go, well, no,
but I'll be fine, folks. I have been what they
call rucking this past few months. Twenty pounds twenty pounds
sand vest I put on. When you get up to
three and a half miles. The first time you do it,

(46:39):
it's brutal, brutal. After doing it a few times, it's
not that bad. You get used to it. But I'm
just saying, these places that are prone to having things
like hurricanes, wildfires and stuff, be a little smarter, smarter

(47:00):
than the people around you, be ready to leave, Be
prepared to get out of town before they can, so
you're not caught up in their stupidity. Big lesson from me.
I bet I've had an I bet I've had some
kind of a bit of an echo, haven't I. I

(47:20):
had my overhead mic on this whole time warps. Sorry, folks,
I bet it sounded a little bit weird. That's all right.
You're used to me sound weird anyways, that sound kind
of weird. Few thoughts before I wrap it up tonight,

(47:41):
coming up to my sixtieth trip around the sun. I'm
doing all right. I'm doing all right. Yeah, and little setback.
Oh good, I'm glad already, says he didn't notice it. Good.
I've had a few setbacks this summer with the shoulder,
A few things going on, nothing major. I'm counting my

(48:03):
blessings every day, folks. I'm still physically fit. I'm still
doing things well. I told somebody today at church this morning.
I was like, they says, they said, your birthday is
coming up. It's like, yep, how old are you gonna be?
I said sixty? And their mouth drop said no way,
no way. It's like look at me. I look sixty.
They're like, no, you don't, you really don't. I when

(48:25):
I look in the mirror, oh my god, look agent,
But I'm still in pretty good shape. Not the shape
I used to be in ten years ago, twenty years ago,
but I'm in still pretty good shape. I look at
other people my age who are basically on death's doorstep,
and I'm I'm I'm thanking the powers that be, I'm

(48:47):
thinking my own instinct. I'm thanking God. I'm thanking everybody
that I was encouraged to stay in shape most of
my life. Yeah, I had a few downfalls. I had
a few things where I'd stop for a while and
get out of shape, and then I get right back
in it. I'm getting to the point now where it matters.
It matters. My doctor even looked at me in the eyes, said,

(49:08):
all the things you did playing city league basketball, softball,
always doing something, running, hiking, kayaking, whatever you're doing, staying
in shape, weight lifting, it matters right here, right now.
And you know, I may die tomorrow, I may have
a heart attack and die. I don't know, you never know,

(49:31):
you don't know what's going to happen. But while I'm
alive right now, as it stands, my quality of life,
My quality of life is really good. Even my shoulder
is getting better. I did a construction project yesterday and
no bachs, no pains. My shoulder feels great. Yeah, it

(49:51):
pulled my back a little bit this week, had a
few dights of insomnia. But even that's over That was
just a stupid thing that I did and mad. It's
not a big deal. It's just just kind of something
that happens once in a while with me. But overall,
so I'm begging you, I'm pleading with you. If you're younger,
if you're forty, thirty, forty, exercise, get out there. Yeah,

(50:15):
you don't have to be a stickler. You don't have
to be obsessed with it. You don't have to be
one of these one of these people you know vegan CrossFit,
get in your face, Well you should be like me. No,
but stay fit. You should be able to step outside
your door and walk three to five miles without stopping.
You should be able to go outside and dig a

(50:39):
hole without dying of a heart attack. You should be
able to do things. If you're in your thirties, forties, fifties,
you should be able to do a lot of things
that keep you fit, and you don't have to be
a fanatic. You can go on Amazon right now. And

(51:00):
I've been having to use these and it's you know,
at first it was kind of humiliating, and then I thought,
you know, this is actually a pretty good workout. You
could go on Amazon for twenty five to thirty bucks.
You can buy a set of these bands, okay, resistance bands,
and you can get a heck of a workout out
of these thinks, a great workout of these thinks, from
head to toe workout, and it costs you twenty five

(51:22):
thirty bucks, and you can do them right in your
own home. You don't even have to buy a gym membership.
You don't have to be pushed aside by some you know,
study whiplash guy that's all pound, you know, a big
muscle dude. Nah, I'm on steroids and everything, and be
embarrassed by looking at these people. No, you can stay
home and do it at your own house. Thirty minutes

(51:42):
a day, three times a week, thirty minutes a day
weight lifting, Get out there and walk almost every day
at least two to three miles, because when you reach
sixty it matters a lot I'm looking at people my
age running to run into people I graduated with in town,

(52:04):
and some of them they they're rough. They look really rough.
They're not gonna make it much longer. You can look
in their eyes and see it. And I'm begging you,
I'm pleading you if you want to really be effective,
if you want, and it's not just when you do it,

(52:24):
it's infectious. Other people see you doing it and they
want to do it too. How do you stay in
such good shape? Well, it's because they move. It's because
I'm I'm I don't just sit around and stare at
the screen all the time. I get out and I
do things. I work out, I lift, I try to
stay toned up because at this age, it starts to
matter a lot. A lot of the diseases I see

(52:47):
people my age with I don't have. Thank God, I
don't have knock on wood. It could happen, It could
happen tomorrow. It might already be there. I don't know,
but I don't feel it because I'm in shape. I'm
not in the greatest shape. I'm not some stud, but
I'm in shape. I can move. I can do things

(53:09):
even now. Get that way, don't be discouraged. And if
you stop, start again. If you get discouraged and you
find yourself getting too busy, thinking you're too busy to
work out, then start setting aside twenty minutes, fifteen minutes

(53:31):
you can anybody can get fifteen minutes, and then move
that up to twenty minutes. If you make it a priority,
you'll be in shape. And for all the years I've
been doing these shows, I've been kind of on the
whole bandwagon of Hayes stay fit. I'm a little heavier
than I used to be. I'm trying to drop a
couple of pounds as much as I ate. This weekend

(53:55):
it was counterproductive, but holy cow, we had BLTs out
of the you know, with tomato out of the garden.
Tonight we had a good, delicious meal with a lot
of stuff out of the garden. It's really easy to overeat.
But never stop trying, never stop trying to stay in shape.
It matters when you get to this point, and from

(54:18):
here on out it will matter more and more and more.
And Lord Willing, I'm going to keep moving. I'm going
to keep walking with a backpack on my back. Am
I gonna run again? I don't know I can't answer
that question. Running started to become painful, so I had
to ease up. Walking does not hurt, and anybody can
you know, well, most people can walk, some people in
a wheelchair. But even if you can't walk, you can

(54:42):
still get resistance bands and you can still do exercises
that involve that. There's very very few people on this
planet that can't at least do something but move, move,
and keep yourself going. Because if we do have problems
on a national level, if you do you have problems
in a regional level around you, and you have to

(55:04):
pick up stuff and get out of town, you need
to be able to do it, even if you have
to hide. You know, if you have to bug in
where you have to stay in your house and you
don't have access to doctors and emergency services and things
like that, being fit increases your odds. But put all

(55:27):
of that aside, all of that aside, and just know
that the long run starting now, getting fit, doing your
best to stay fit. You don't have to live a
perfect life. I tell people all the time, you're craving
a hamburger, it's driving you crazy. Go get the hamburger
and eat it. But realize when you're done that you're

(55:50):
gonna have to do something to work it off, or
before long you're gonna look like that hamburger. I'm no
angel when it comes to dieting, but for the most
most of the time, I do pretty good. But I
do fall off the wagon. You know what, I don't care.
I don't want my last thought on this earth to

(56:10):
be well, man, I wish I ate that double cheeseburger.
You know that one time when I craved it. Now,
but just remember that you have to work that back
off when you do eat it. It's give and take.
We've come to the top of the hour. I like
to thank each and every one of you that tuned in. God,
two hundred and eighty five views. That's beautiful. I love it.

(56:32):
I've been a little discouraged about numbers lately, man, not
too discouraged, but I just get in here and do
my thing. I'd like to thank each and every one
of you for tuning in. Thank you all you guys
in the chat. Love y'all.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
You're great.

Speaker 4 (56:46):
I will see you in October. I'll have better internets,
I'll be doing better things, and I'll be ready to
rock and roll. It's only four weeks, God bless, have
a great night. Yes,
