Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's the old man roving from the Kitchen Live podcast.
We got a big holiday coming up, aren't we excited? Monday?
No banks, no federal employees, no state employees. Well, wait
a minute. The federal employees has practically been laid off
now for a couple of three or four days. What's
(00:23):
going to happen in America? The right things are going
you know, this is getting really ridiculous. I heard the
senator from Kentucky talk about the budget that the Democrats
want pushed through, and then I thought to myself, then
I heard the Republican side. Then I went in, threw up,
(00:45):
washed my face, came back, sat back down, and said
to myself that I can't believe any of this. I
don't believe any of it, but I guess it could
be worse. Right, I'm sure it could be. There could
be a chicken minus in every pot. And that upset Roger.
He's upset with me, by the way, because of all
the monkey stuff I've been putting on Facebook. The object
(01:08):
of it is, I'm asking Muckleberg to do us a
favor and quit monkeying around with facts, figures in the windows,
and the list goes on. Would it be nice is
to have a nice, calm Facebook again. I think it'd
be great myself, and I'd be excited if it ever happened. Okay,
so I would not be really excited, but I would
(01:31):
be having a great time if we could just really
concentrate on what's going on in our homes, with kids
in our school systems, and what's happening to small businesses
in our neighborhood. I'd be happy if we could just
concentrate on that for a little while and quit this
(01:54):
bs about everything else that's going on. I mean, it's ridiculous.
My kids ever said you, Dad, I think I want
to become a politician, and then I'll think to myself,
I failed my family. It could be worse, of course,
you know we could be living in a communist country. Well, yeah,
(02:17):
it could be worse, and let's just leave it at that. Hey,
I got some exciting news. I really want to thank
everybody that has done me a great favor, and that's
simply by lately checking out our podcast on Spotify, iHeartRadio,
and et cetera. Doctor Munson's Revealing Holess has been a
(02:40):
really wonderful program the last few years. If you haven't
caught it. You should listen to it because it's really
very good. He's doing a series on raw milk right
now and it's exciting and different aspects of raw milk.
Now we know that there are people and medical professionals
not mentioning doctor Oz and some of the other ones
(03:01):
that I guess they're very, very competent in what they
do for a living, but I'm kind of a little
worried about what they're doing now for a living. But anyway,
it's great to hear another side of the story. And
if you wish to find out about raw milk, and
there seems to be a big issue about it, check
(03:23):
those podcasts out. You find them on Spotify. If you
do not have it on your favorite platform for podcasts,
go up to the top where it says search and
type in Revealing Wholeness with Doctor Troy, and I think
you'll really enjoy the programs. You'll learn a lot, and
that's wonderful to understand what we got going on in
(03:47):
the world of health. It's amazing at times, and believe
it or not, what's going on as far as supplements
are concerned, and how different supplements are causing different problems.
Boy there's a whole bunch of stuff that doctor Munson
will be talking about and breaking down into common sense
(04:08):
since you and I can understand what's going on in
the medical profession. So that was great. Now. The other
thing I wanted to talk about for just a few
moments was just recently Trish Turnage, the person that I admire.
Her and Pat have. The Foundation for Healing, and the
(04:30):
Foundation for Healing or the Mission for Healing is absolutely unbelievable,
and I've talked about it on the air before, but
I've never had an opportunity to really discuss what goes
on and how we come up with the material basically
for doing these type of podcasts. Now, a good friend
(04:51):
of mine so well built for Pete's say, you know,
what do you mean, how hard is it to come
up with information? How hard is it to do that?
I mean, all you got to do plug into microphone
and boom, boom boom, let your lips just push the
words out into our ears. Well that's a great idea,
(05:13):
but I'm not really in favor of it, to be honest,
especially when we did the Mission for Healing's podcast and
set it up about a couple of months ago. Now,
But recently we did one podcast which is on the
air now and Trash talks about when she was a
(05:33):
junior in high school and the Mission for Healing co
founder was sent to the Wilderness Therapy Program. Now, that's
an experience that changed your life, and she unpacks it
for us after thirty five years of living with I
would say trauma and a little bit of PS well
(05:57):
PTSD to be exact. It is a fabulous podcast if
you want to hear the real side of what was
going on back in the nineteen eighties when this whole
thing started with the Challenger Survival wilderness camps for children
that were behavior problems, when parents put out fourteen to
(06:21):
fifteen thousand dollars to have their kids either kidnapped literally
from their homes with their parents' permission, taken to these camps,
or vice versa, taking these individuals to the camps the
parents and dropping them off. You've got to hear the story.
You've got to have an opportunity to think about what
(06:45):
actually has happened in those years that we really don't
hear about. Not anymore anyway. There are still survival camps, yes,
quite a few in the United States or they're operated
by different churches, youth organizations, and it's not anything compared
to what the I think Next Flick's documentary called Hell
(07:09):
Camp ever talked about. So check it out, please take
a listen to it, and you'll see why it is
so very important to be able to sit down and
have a conversation in your family, with your children, with
your friends, with your relatives, and et cetera. Because that
(07:30):
conversation can change life, not taking somebody isolating them and
using survival techniques to change their life. So I just
I was amazed. I really was amazed when I had
the opportunity to talk to Trish about this and about
(07:50):
working on those particular programs that we're doing for the veterans.
And these are the veterans that have come home. The
Mission for Healing Foundation basically is at Washington five oh
one C three that is devoted to helping the suicide
rate disappear as far as I'm concerned. You know, over
(08:14):
six thousand veterans in the last few years have taken
their lives that have come back from military deployment and
service overseas. This particular organization is founded with the ideas
of how to bring our vets back home, how to
make them feel welcome again, and how to rechange their
(08:39):
lives back into the communities, the fellowships, and the families
that they were before deployment. There's a lot of trauma.
When I talk to some of these individuals, I'm always
amazed at the stories. I'm always amazed at how they've
(08:59):
conducted themselves, how they keep that tucked inside the PTSD,
the trauma, the stuff that they've seen which they don't
want to talk about again. I've talked to people that
have been in Vietnam, the Vietnam War and the issues
from the Air Force to the Army. Unbelievable stories. I
(09:20):
don't know how to I don't know how on a
podcast I could express when you're sitting at a table
and after all these years, an Air Force pilot explains
to you about agent Orange and spreading it all over Vietnam,
how he felt about it, knowing in his heart that
(09:40):
he was also injuring his fellow conrades. And now, almost
thirty five years later, we're discovering that that is a
fact Agent Orange has affected others in different ways, that
the terrible, terrible poison has distributed throughout the world. Interesting
(10:03):
but factual, and something that well, we don't really discuss anymore.
We don't talk about it. You know. They tell me
they trained to survive anything, but they never have trained
to live with you and live with it says a lot,
doesn't It sure does to me. And I want to
(10:26):
thank all the service people that have put their lives
on hold to protect our freedoms. You know, it's interesting
when you sit down and think about it for just
a moment. They're protecting our freedoms, They're keeping us so
that we can dream and move forward. But what are
(10:49):
we doing here at home? Our government's the right wing,
the left wing and whatever else it's winging. Makes you
think for a moment, doesn't it? When Congress shuts down
our government makes you think? Doesn't it for a few seconds,
(11:09):
Because we've never talked about this before. And then when
it comes out that it's been closed down. Government has
been shut down before hundreds of difference of times throughout
the years. We never knew about it until just recently,
when the battle really got hostile between the elected leaders
that we trusted to make the right calls so that
(11:33):
we could build America and keep our dreams alive and
right now. I'm really discouraged because I love America. I
love the fact that I have freedom, that my grandchildren
will see, freedom, that they will become a part of
this great country. If we get this mess straightened up now,
(11:54):
not five years from now, not twenty years from now,
but now, and put it back together in an orately
fashion that the government can grow with left side, right side,
center side. I don't care what side. It's America. We
(12:17):
don't have sides. We have a strong nation when we
all work together and have that conversation. Okay, well, I'll
get off of that because it's Sunday and I'm supposed
to behave myself. Roger and I have been going around,
by the way, you may have knowniced he posted some stuff.
I told him to stay away from the computer. We're
(12:38):
changing everything over to the elevens because the deadline is
coming when Microsoft, no, no, I gotta buy a new
computer because my computer's gonna explode. Hogwash. Microsoft loves to
do that. How many do you think, and you can
help me out with this, how many times have they
(12:58):
upgraded and changed Microsoft's programming? I've lost track. I can
remember clear back the sevens, the Window seven Holy and
the XP and some of the other great windows. Boy,
that was an exciting time to say the least. But
(13:19):
you know, things have to change. I know, progress progress
or an old man, you've got to understand there's progress.
Things are moving. AI is taking over. That should scare
everybody into a conversation. AI takes over. Can you imagine
just for a moment, I'm gonna look over here out
(13:40):
the window for just a second. Can you imagine staring
out your window and thinking to yourself, how did the
grass learn to grow? What seeded the trees? What's going
on with nature? How did nature provide us with this
beautiful planet? H Well, no problem, we'll just do and
(14:04):
AI will tell us everything we need to know everything.
You don't really need to waste your time with your mind,
with your beliefs when AI can do it all for you.
I you know, I was just thinking the other day.
My father used to take me out and he'd say, Billy,
(14:26):
come on over here. He always had a garden. He
was up in gig Harbor, had a big garden and
every year he'd plant corn and we'd go out and
he'd say, Bill, come on out, come on out here.
Pulp a chair, you'd hit me a can of diet cola. Yeah,
and we'd sit there and talk about things you know
how to do. Let's see tomatoes. Boy did he grow tomatoes.
(14:51):
One of these days, I'll tell you about that story.
But he said, look at that, the corn's growing. I'm
down there practically with a microphone in a magnifying glass,
trying to report to the world that I'm watching corn grow.
Excuse me. Never did never did it grow. I never
(15:11):
saw it grow anyway. And I remember just before he
passed on, we were out in the back garden again
looking at the corn. And he looked at me and said, Billy,
you're going to see the worst times in this country
that you've ever seen. It's going to make the depression
(15:31):
look easy. And I thought to myself, Dad, that's where
would you come up with something like that? Now, this
is back in two thousand and eight, before the pandemic,
before the elections and all the skullduggery that's been going on.
(15:52):
And I thought to myself, how does he know that? Now?
I look back as of my life now and I
stare back into that and Dad was right, And I
don't think that it's over. Yet I think more is
to come. I think this country is going to fight
harder than ever to unite people in this country, to
(16:15):
get the politic garbage straightened out, to get the old
They've got more money than I do, so therefore I'm
going to make them suffer garbage, the thievery, the greasing
of the pockets with our taxpayer dollars. I think we're
going to see worse times yet if we don't start now,
(16:37):
as I've been harping on for the last whole I
don't know year, starting a conversation with our church, our neighbors,
our friends, and starting a movement to tell the leaders
that we elected because they work for us, and tell them, hey,
enough of your bs is enough. You either represent us
(17:01):
and we build this country, or go home. Take your money,
take your corruption, take your stupidity, take your lack of
common sense, and go home. Don't know where that home
might be, but as long as it doesn't affect me
or my generation of kids, I'll be happy. And let's
(17:24):
get new leadership in there that believes in America, that
loves America, and let's see if they can help us
get over this traumatic time that we're facing. Right now.
Oh well, I'm just the old man ranning in the
kitchen on a Sunday. I hope everything's going well for you.
By the way, at homes, I always wonder how things
(17:47):
are going. I know. I look around at the zoo here, oh,
excuse me, the apartments I manage, and I think to myself, Wow,
we got a lot of stuff to do to get
this country rolling, and I've only got a few a
few individuals to work with. Yeah, they're all good people,
bluss their hearts, every one of them. Sure we have Well,
(18:10):
I can't pay the rent this month, maybe next month,
maybe the month after I got here. And you sit
down and you say to yourself, I don't want to
put out that policy that you got to pay your
rent or get out. What do I do in that keys?
How did I get this job? You know what I mean? Well,
(18:30):
I asked for it, I got it, still have it.
But there's times when I get up and think to myself,
I feel like the governor of a state. And then
I understand why people don't like governors at times. Maybe
that's the problem we have. Maybe we need to give
(18:50):
a helping hand up to each and everyone, checking on
each other one's feelings, communicating, socializing, and getting back to
the other again. Maybe then it would even hear at
the zoo, as I call it, would help out because
I'm tired of cleaning out cages and oh my goodness,
the amount of bananas we go through, some impossible to count.
(19:14):
Oh well, Rogers, tell me time is up, Tell me
to get get off the air. God got it. You know.
I took Roger to a KFC the other day for lunch,
hoping that the woman would reach through the window, grab
him by the neck and inside, and I would drive
off happily ever after. On that note, remember love, the
(19:40):
thought of where America could go and be again. Work
towards it. Keep a vision in your mind of how
we can all work together to get over this hurdle.
But love in your heart for each and everyone. Stretch
your hand up for those on the street, our veterans,
(20:02):
and our people in need in this country, and lift
them up. And you will always, as I always like
to say, you'll keep on smiling, have a great day,
and we'll see you next week. Until then, check us
out on Spotify. It's the old man running from the
