Speaker 1 (00:00):
Attention, attenention, this is a PSA, a public service announcement
on your nuclear preparedness. Actually it's a recast of an
earlier episode. What's better to listen to on a nice,
happy Sunday afternoon than a podcast about nuclear war, nuclear
(00:20):
fallout and radiation. With that, I'm gonna plug in this episode.
Hope you enjoy have a good Sunday. What is going on?
Alpha Males? Welcome to the Alpha Male Podcast, the podcast
where we talk about what it means to be an
(00:41):
alpha male and the multifaceted aspects of that while keeping
God at the center Juday of Christian values. After all,
we are made in His image, strong, dominant, courageous, or
He created man in his very own image. Don't forget
(01:04):
to like subscribe. Lead review of the podcast hit a
couple of stars before we get into today's episode, A
lighthearted discussion about nuclear war, fallout and radiation poisoning. I
normally plug in the bio, but I think i'll abbreviate
it a little bit what I normally talk about and
(01:27):
talk about a little bit more as it pertains to
today's show. First and foremost, I am a servant of God,
a follower of Jesus Christ, a preacher and a fisher
of men. I joined the Marine Corps seventeen, did a
couple of combat tours in Iraq. Also served in the
US Army. Was also a law enforcement officer LAPD worked
(01:51):
regular assignments and more specialized assignments. Been blessed to be
the commander of an active shooter response team where our
primary job was to stock back your shooters in a
very large metropolitan area. Been an FBI certified firearms instructor
for a lot of years, taught military civilians law enforcement.
(02:12):
I've been blessed to be a professional big game hunter
and guide, been blessed with the talents to be a
state rifle and pistol champion more than once. I've also
been a private contractor for a three letter government agency.
I won't specify, and that's normally all that I say
about that, and I don't want to sound like, oh,
(02:32):
super secret squorld. But there is a lot of stuff
that I cannot talk about that was very much involved
the things we're going to talk about today. Quite a
bit more training, I would say, than your average person
does in this subject. And I've seen things, have been
privy to things that the general populace is not that
being said. I'm not a doctor. I'm not a nuclear physicist.
(02:55):
I didn't even stay at a holiday and express last night.
Please seek your own medical advice, and please don't take
my word for it. As it is written in the Bible,
by a lone witness is not sufficient to establish any
wrongdoing or sin against a man, regardless of what offense
he may have committed. A matter must be established by
(03:15):
the testimony of two or three witnesses. So do your
own research. Check out for yourself things that I'm telling
you today. But many of you, if you're like me,
grew up during the Cold War, you may be fairly familiar,
or have been in the past familiar with the threat
(03:36):
of nuclear warfare. I don't own a TV, I don't
generally watch the news, but even I I'm not ignorant
to the fact that things are heating up in Europe.
For decades we were concerned about nuclear war with Russia.
I think, if you're talking about the midnight clock, Tandra
a little bit closer to midnight than they were seemingly
(03:58):
just a few weeks ago on when you listen to this.
Every time I see the news, it seems like we're
beating the war drums and being suggested that we should
get involved. I don't know Putin. I'm not gonna condemn Putin.
He strikes me as a man that will only get
pushed so far. It also strikes me as a man
that's not afraid to use force. With that being said,
(04:20):
ought we to dust off those old civil defense manuals,
those old civil defense films? Maybe? Well, you know, if
there's nuclear war and nuclear bombs are getting dropped, that's
just the end. I'm just gonna throw out my hands
and give up. I'd say. Then, yeah, you probably will
turn off this podcast right now because you're a beta male.
That's what beta males do. You go in the corner
(04:42):
and suck your thumb while bombs are getting dropped. Alpha
males will step up, wrap our boots on, and get
to work like men. There are plenty of survivors recorded
from Hiroshima and from Nagasaki. Maye people survive that. Plenty
of people survived that reportedly and live to a riightfu
old age and had kids with no problem and the
kids were fine. So if you're gonna keep listening to this,
(05:05):
strap up and be an alpha male, and don't just
give up before the fight even starts. You can survive
even in a city that's getting bombed by nuclear weapons. Again,
people survive Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and that was the first
time they had really been dropped, so they didn't really
know what to do. If you listen to this podcast
(05:26):
and do some research, you'll have a quite a big
leap forward as opposed to those people. They had no
idea what radiation even was. So if you're still listening,
I'm gonna assume that you're an alpha male and you're
gonna fight, and you're gonna do what needs to be done,
and you're gonna protect those around you, women and children
and people weaker than you, because that's what alpha males do.
(05:49):
They don't take advantage of those around them or those
weaker than them. They build them up and strengthen them
and take care of them and provide for them and
protect them. If you're ready to do that, then let's
get together and help each other do that. Depending on
how you want to categorize it, nuclear bombs fill in
a couple of ways, but we'll round it up into
(06:09):
two big waves. Blast which consists of actual physical force
of the blast, super high wind several hundred miles an hour,
and extreme heat reportedly as hot as the center of
the sun. Obviously, you don't want to be exposed to
either one of these. You want to seek a shelter.
(06:30):
The sturdier the better. The heat can be very intense
reportedly several thousand degrees, but only lasts a very very
brief amount of time. So any kind of dense thing,
concrete pillars, things like that could shelter you from that.
If you see the bright flash and you have time
(06:52):
and you can't find any shelter, just laying flat on
the ground, face down, with your feet towards the blast
and your head away from it. Any kind of indentation
in the ground that can shelter you from the wind
and from the blast and from the heat. It's a
small depression, a ditch, a gutter, something like that. Anything.
A sturdy building may be good if it doesn't collapse.
(07:18):
But if you expect a bomb to get dropped, or
see a bomb get dropped, or see that blash or mushroom, God,
and you're far enough away, if you can seek shelter
from those super high winds and from that's super high
temperature force. Of those two things. The next way that
(07:41):
this bomb affects us, affects humans, affects really any kind
of animal radiation. There's a couple of different kinds of radiation,
but generally, if you survive the blast, fever, dose, radiation,
god is what you're going to get. And then now
what you have to worry about is fallout. Getting the
nerdy radiation will cling to particles in the air, in
(08:04):
the atmosphere, whether that be water, whether that be dust,
It'll cling to whatever it is. Have you seen you
know the iconic images the giant mushroom clouds. Well, all
that material is likely radioactive, and that's going to get
sucked up into the atmosphere and it's going to fall
back down fallout. These particles carry that radiation back down
(08:30):
when it contacts you. Whatever way that is that radiation
goes into your body, it will accumulate. It does really
bad things. It's cumulative. I'm not going to get into
the particulars of radiation, sickness, radiation, poison. Let's just stick
with how do you avoid it? How do you avoid
(08:52):
the fallout? Well, seek shelter. The denser the material, the
better it is. This is the reason why when you
get X rays they give you a lead apron, any
kind of crazy other material. As far as common materials go,
lead is pretty much the densest material, or at least
common material that you're gonna find. While you wear a
(09:13):
lead apron, you probably don't have leadlined room in your house.
I think denser, denser is better. The more dense the better.
For instance, if you have a basement underground, that is good.
You have the most amount of dense material sheltering you
from the radiation. If you don't have that, whatever house
(09:36):
you're dwelling you were in, get into the innermost room
of that house, away from your radioactive stuff outside, not
whatever room you want to hang out, and not your
bedroom because you like it. That room is your pantry,
that's you know, two foot by two foot wide, beside
your kitchen. If that's the innermost room in your house,
that's protected the most by walls and material that's where
(09:58):
you want to be and realize this is about radiation.
It has what's called a half life, and it drops drastically.
The amount of radiation after two days drops drastically after
two days, and then again after two weeks. After two weeks.
It just kind of slowly trickles, and it might take
thousands of years for the rest of that radiation to
go away. If we're talking massive doses, the first two
(10:20):
days are by far the worst, and the first two
weeks are still pretty high. So remember that rule. If
you ken shelter in place, don't leave at all for
two days if you can help it. Most you know,
even if you're not prepared, most humans can go in
most environments two days without food or water. You better
off being super thirsty and super hungry than getting exposed
(10:41):
to a super high dose of radiation. Again, I'm not
a doctor, but that seems like a pretty safe thing
to say. And again two weeks is better stay in
a basement or something like that. For two weeks the
vast majority of that radiation in most cases will be gone.
Realize this is about fallout too. It's not like a
symmetrical circle like if I drop a bomb, I don't
draw a circle around it with the fallout. Like you said,
(11:02):
the radiation attaches to particles, so wherever the prevailing winds
go and generally, and this is a very big generality
in America, weather patterns move from west to east, but
look at where the target was and where the prevailing
winds are going. You might be better off a miler
two in one direction than you are one hundred miles
(11:24):
in another direction. And a lot of stuff plays into this.
You know altitude, mountain ranges, all manner of things. But
you don't want to be downwind of a nuclear event,
whether that's power plant going awry or dropping of a
nuclear bomb, some other things to remember about fallout, and
(11:48):
you don't want it to contact you and keep those
particles off of you. Something as simple as a plastic
bag or a rain jacket, if you don't have a
gas mask, just a wet cloth that you put water
on or peon. Put it in front of your face.
It may sound nasty, but it's a whole lot better
than radiation poisoning. Anything that will trap some or a
(12:08):
majority of those particles from getting into your lungs. Radioactive
material on your skin is bad, and your lungs is
even worse. Another fun side note is that radiation really
likes hair, so you probably want to shave off all
your hair if you can. It'll grow back. Well. I'll
assume you don't get so much radiation that it doesn't
grow back fun topic today, but any it's amazing how
(12:32):
good plastics can be for stopping not like gamma rays
and stuff, but fallout that are rainco a plastic bag,
one of those cheap ponchos, a big brimmed hat, some
light material. Avoiding getting any on you at all is best.
If you do think you got radiation, take those contaminated clothes,
(12:53):
your hair, whatever it is, bag it up, get rid
of it. If you have been clean, you've been hanging
out in your bathtub, you know, for a couple of days.
Time to move. Any kind of barrier like that is
going to help rubber boots to not get that dust
on you. A thin poncho, gas mask if you have
(13:14):
it and N ninety five, it's probably much better than nothing,
you know. So what are some things you can do
to prepare? This is the Alpha Male podcast. Like we said,
we're not going to just croll up in the corner
and suck our thumb. Well. The good news, if there
is any is this disaster is really not different than
being ready for any disaster. There are some unique challenges.
(13:38):
There are a few little differences, but mainly you're gonna
need the same things. You always need food, water, shelter,
So have clean water. Probably not gonna be able to
tell water has been exposed to radiation. If you have
some water stored up in plastic bottles, probably good to go,
a lot better than guessing if the water in your
tap is going to be clean. But having water stored,
(14:00):
having food stored, you probably don't want to be eating
food that's been out, you know, in the fallout in
the radiation. But if you have some stored in your
car and your house, like we talked about, most of
that radiation, the vast majority is generally gone in two weeks,
you have enough food to last that long. I talk
(14:20):
about you guys supporting on Patreon, and that's great. One
of the people I support on Patreon is Viking Preparedness,
and I got this from him, but it really is true,
and I give him all the credit. Pastor Joe Fox
of Viking Preparedness. He says, the two things that are
gonna get you after disaster is starvation and people behaving badly.
And I really think that's the case in a lot
(14:43):
of scenarios. Going to need water, you're gonna need food,
and you're gonna need to protect yourself from people. How
long have we been talking about? How many episodes have
we had talking about that kind of stuff here on
the Alpha Male podcast. I may rerun a couple of
those episodes just with general preparedness after this. It's just
not in place of new episodes, but in addition too,
(15:07):
for any of you that heretofore are not prepared and
this rings a bell like, hey, I probably should step up,
be a man and take care of my family and
those weaker than me around me. You know, I'm just
gonna throw my hands up if I see a bright
flash in the distance. I'm gonna fight. I'm gonna survive,
God willing. One thing I will mention briefly it always
(15:27):
comes up when you talk about this stuff, is a
potassium I died now. I do have some of that
in a center console of my hummer. I will admit
to that. It's not what people think. You can't just
not do anything a by a giant bottle of this
and think you're gonna be fine. It's not like if
you're glowing green, you're gonna take one of these tablets
in pe and it's all gonna go away and you're
gonna be fine. It deals with a very specific type
(15:48):
of radiation poisoning, having to do with your thyroid and
things like that. But it's not a cure all. It's
far far better to not get exposed in the first place.
Don't just think you can't do You're just not gonna
do anything. And by a potassium I died on eBay
and you're good to go. That's not how that works.
I'm not saying it's good to have. Like I said,
(16:08):
I have some in the center console on my car,
but it is not the end all be all for
nuclear preparedness. Again, I know how radiation works. Stay away
from the blast, stay away from shelter from the heat
from the wind, seek shelter from the fallout, have food
(16:29):
and water stored, Have a way to protect yourself. Psalm
ninety one. No evil shall befall me, nor shall any
plague come near my dwelling. I shall not be afraid
of the terror by night, nor the arrow that flies
by day, nor the petulence that walks in darkness, nor
the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may
(16:51):
fall up my side, ten thousand at my right hand,
but it shall not come near me. I guess that
our tactical verse of the day. Tactical tip of the day.
Did you know that apples are one of the best
things you can eat after being exposed to radiation? Something
about the pectin if you have just straight pectin, but
apples tend to have quite a bit of pectin. So
(17:13):
apples and apple juice are one of the best things
you can eat if you get exposed to radiation to
get it out of your body. My wife said plums
have a lot of pectin too, because when we make
our own plum jam, they're one of the few things
that doesn't need added pectin. So I guess you find
yourself in a nuclear wasteland apocalypse, you can find some
fresh plums. You're good to go. I don't think i'd
be too worried about keeping the Keto diet if I
(17:35):
had a massive dose of radiation with that. Man, I'm
gonna say thanks for listening to this light and fluffy
episode of the Alpha Male Podcast. Have a blessed day,
be strong and prove yourself a man. Oh when I
should mention that a lot of those old civil defense
films that they made in the fifties are free on YouTube.
(17:58):
Pretty good resource. You can check those out out. If
I remember, i'll throw a link to them. I generally
link to other stuff. If I remember, i'll put a
link in the show notes. Thanks man, have a blessed day.

whether that's power plant going awry or dropping of a
nuclear bomb, some other things to remember about fallout, and
(11:48):
you don't want it to contact you and keep those
particles off of you. Something as simple as a plastic
bag or a rain jacket, if you don't have a
gas mask, just a wet cloth that you put water
on or peon. Put it in front of your face.
It may sound nasty, but it's a whole lot better
than radiation poisoning. Anything that will trap some or a
(12:08):
majority of those particles from getting into your lungs. Radioactive
material on your skin is bad, and your lungs is
even worse. Another fun side note is that radiation really
likes hair, so you probably want to shave off all
your hair if you can. It'll grow back. Well. I'll
assume you don't get so much radiation that it doesn't
grow back fun topic today, but any it's amazing how
(12:32):
good plastics can be for stopping not like gamma rays
and stuff, but fallout that are rainco a plastic bag,
one of those cheap ponchos, a big brimmed hat, some
light material. Avoiding getting any on you at all is best.
If you do think you got radiation, take those contaminated clothes,
(12:53):
your hair, whatever it is, bag it up, get rid
of it. If you have been clean, you've been hanging
out in your bathtub, you know, for a couple of days.
Time to move. Any kind of barrier like that is
going to help rubber boots to not get that dust
on you. A thin poncho, gas mask if you have
(13:14):
it and N ninety five, it's probably much better than nothing,
you know. So what are some things you can do
to prepare? This is the Alpha Male podcast. Like we said,
we're not going to just croll up in the corner
and suck our thumb. Well. The good news, if there
is any is this disaster is really not different than
being ready for any disaster. There are some unique challenges.
(13:38):
There are a few little differences, but mainly you're gonna
need the same things. You always need food, water, shelter,
So have clean water. Probably not gonna be able to
tell water has been exposed to radiation. If you have
some water stored up in plastic bottles, probably good to go,
a lot better than guessing if the water in your
tap is going to be clean. But having water stored,
(14:00):
having food stored, you probably don't want to be eating
food that's been out, you know, in the fallout in
the radiation. But if you have some stored in your
car and your house, like we talked about, most of
that radiation, the vast majority is generally gone in two weeks,
you have enough food to last that long. I talk
(14:20):
about you guys supporting on Patreon, and that's great. One
of the people I support on Patreon is Viking Preparedness,
and I got this from him, but it really is true,
and I give him all the credit. Pastor Joe Fox
of Viking Preparedness. He says, the two things that are
gonna get you after disaster is starvation and people behaving badly.
And I really think that's the case in a lot
(14:43):
of scenarios. Going to need water, you're gonna need food,
and you're gonna need to protect yourself from people. How
long have we been talking about? How many episodes have
we had talking about that kind of stuff here on
the Alpha Male podcast. I may rerun a couple of
those episodes just with general preparedness after this. It's just
not in place of new episodes, but in addition too,
(15:07):
for any of you that heretofore are not prepared and
this rings a bell like, hey, I probably should step up,
be a man and take care of my family and
those weaker than me around me. You know, I'm just
gonna throw my hands up if I see a bright
flash in the distance. I'm gonna fight. I'm gonna survive,
God willing. One thing I will mention briefly it always
(15:27):
comes up when you talk about this stuff, is a
potassium I died now. I do have some of that
in a center console of my hummer. I will admit
to that. It's not what people think. You can't just
not do anything a by a giant bottle of this
and think you're gonna be fine. It's not like if
you're glowing green, you're gonna take one of these tablets
in pe and it's all gonna go away and you're
gonna be fine. It deals with a very specific type
(15:48):
of radiation poisoning, having to do with your thyroid and
things like that. But it's not a cure all. It's
far far better to not get exposed in the first place.
Don't just think you can't do You're just not gonna
do anything. And by a potassium I died on eBay
and you're good to go. That's not how that works.
I'm not saying it's good to have. Like I said,
(16:08):
I have some in the center console on my car,
but it is not the end all be all for
nuclear preparedness. Again, I know how radiation works. Stay away
from the blast, stay away from shelter from the heat
from the wind, seek shelter from the fallout, have food
(16:29):
and water stored, Have a way to protect yourself. Psalm
ninety one. No evil shall befall me, nor shall any
plague come near my dwelling. I shall not be afraid
of the terror by night, nor the arrow that flies
by day, nor the petulence that walks in darkness, nor
the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may
(16:51):
fall up my side, ten thousand at my right hand,
but it shall not come near me. I guess that
our tactical verse of the day. Tactical tip of the day.
Did you know that apples are one of the best
things you can eat after being exposed to radiation? Something
about the pectin if you have just straight pectin, but
apples tend to have quite a bit of pectin. So
(17:13):
apples and apple juice are one of the best things
you can eat if you get exposed to radiation to
get it out of your body. My wife said plums
have a lot of pectin too, because when we make
our own plum jam, they're one of the few things
that doesn't need added pectin. So I guess you find
yourself in a nuclear wasteland apocalypse, you can find some
fresh plums. You're good to go. I don't think i'd
be too worried about keeping the Keto diet if I
(17:35):
had a massive dose of radiation with that. Man, I'm
gonna say thanks for listening to this light and fluffy
episode of the Alpha Male Podcast. Have a blessed day,
be strong and prove yourself a man. Oh when I
should mention that a lot of those old civil defense
films that they made in the fifties are free on YouTube.
(17:58):
Pretty good resource. You can check those out out. If
I remember, i'll throw a link to them. I generally
link to other stuff. If I remember, i'll put a
link in the show notes. Thanks man, have a blessed day.
