I'm your host, Phil Raveley Andrew nickar on the other side of the mic, and here's your show. Welcome back to Matter of Facts Podcast. Phil's here and Nick's here. We have a topic. We have admin work to do. First, we have a couple of miscreants in the chat, two of which we are. Related to by marriage. Yes, I would like to. Think they'll be the voice of reason in the room. They're not in the room the chat, Yes, the chat voice of reason in the chat, although they could enter the rooms. Mine is shouting at me through the walls, but I can't hear what she's saying because I have headphones on. Good. That's probably a wise choice. Just turn the volume up until you can't tell she's yelling. She's Sicilian Scottish. I don't think such volume exists. Yeah, that's fair. There's theoretically a line between like where my extraordinarily damaged. Hearing gives out and her voice gives out, and I'm pretty sure they overlap. They might, they might, she said, yes, we are damn what Oh, I just dropped the fidget thing I play around with keep my hands from doing strange things on air. I have to have something to play with. I have. I have a mouse for that, I have a quiet one. I have a ratchet that's very loud, an old craftsman. I have a bunch of random things on my desk, but this is the only one that's quiet that I can fidget with. I appreciate the thought. Let's do admin work and then let's talk about why Canada has screwed up your plans. If you'd like to promote bad decisions by becoming a patron that links in the show description, you can join one of the nearly thirty patrons who support this podcast and support our bad decision making, and most importantly, provide us endless amusement by stoking fires of. Awful financial decisions. Yes, I have personally bought night vision and a shotgun on the back of these bunch of fools, and Nick is stubbornly refusing to follow suit. He wants to be an adult and build a shop. Technically, yes, I'm going to build a machine shop and. You're going to use it to make irresponsible decisions. Oh, one hundred percent. I mean, I don't know how you could ever consider a crank powered twenty two gatling gun or responsible choice because it's number one, it's not useful for anything. I argue that you're turning money into noise. See it has a use turning money and turning turning money. Into noise and happiness. That's fair. Have you ever seen anyone with a gatling gun that was mad, not. Personally, see, I would imagine, I would imagine there's definitely some indage somewhere. That's that's noticed. A guy who was very angry with a gatling gun. But deep down inside he was enjoying every second of it. I mean probably nobody else was, but he was. But see that proves my theory. The one guy with the gatling gun was enjoying every second of it, and everybody that didn't have a gatling gun was enjoying none of it. So the gatling gun. Everyone needs a gatling gun. Everyone needs a gatling gun. That's fair. If you'd like to buy merch for the vibes from the Southern Gals. That link is also also in the show description. Unfortunately, the offerings do not include twenty two lur gatling guns. Nope, nope, nope, no, unless you want to go into business making black powdered cannons or something. Look, man, it takes about so the average person that undertakes this project, and there's actually a form full of people that do. It's three to five two to five years for most hobbyist machinists to get their first successful test firing. Because of how many components are in it. You could do it in six months if I didn't have a job. Yeah, But I mean it's it's buddy, I'll send you the I'll send you the blueprints. It's not an insignificant amount of work. And I still have to build five more housels. I still have to build five more tools before I can even start the project. Does it need a lot of tooling and fixturing. I was gonna say, you have to finish a renovation before you start the project. At to finish a reder renovation, I should also probably finish the legal fight with the county to build the garage. Yeah, Rangel's saying that we remind him of sea hagging. I actually met the gentleman spend a weekend shooting with him at a Project apple Seed event. John is a ton of fun. I've spoken with him a couple of times online. He has some stock laying around. If you reach out to him and you want something, he might have it. But apparently just the legal costs of trying to maintain the business, it just wasn't the juice wasn't worth the squeeze for how many how much he was selling well. And it's also worth pointing out there like so again, I've met John, hung out with him for a weekend. If you've ever. Seen him on his social media and you got the impression for the briefs moments that maybe that was like a persona, it's not that is John, not at all. He is every bit as like fun loving and borderline unhinged. He's he's like a child that basically grew up and mentally still wants to dress up like a pirate and chase his younger brother around the house like for the these are. Kind of people. Oh, nothing I'm saying about him is bad. He's hilarious and he's awesome and he is super, super. Passionate about everything he does. But I think I think personally, and they're like, this is not me put in words its mouth. There's just my suspicion. But I suspect once Sea had got to a certain point, like you said, like the legalities involved made it not fun anymore. Not fun and not financially solvent. I think this is the way he explained it. The way he explained to me was that the costs to maintain the company once it got to a certain size, the sales wouldn't support it growing to the point where it would be self sustaining. Yeah, at that size. And it's look, man, most businesses, most small businesses fail for that exact same reason. Once you cross a certain threshold out of like hobbyist territory where yeah, you're making a little bit of money at it, but to make that next step where you're actually supporting yourself with it and potentially employees is a huge gulf to crack through. Yeah, And it's the it's the having to make enough money to hire the employees that makes makes it somewhat bearable in the long term, right, But now the business has to make enough might not just support you, but support them too, Like I totally understand that. Yeah, I will say this much. Did you ever see the medium sized cannon that he built the Calypso yeah, I was in attence when that thing got touched off. That But you can feel your moler's wiggle. I bet you could. I've got some I've got some continuous cast high strength steel pipe that I should be able to make a golf ball scale swivel gun with it. So I'm gonna I gotta. I gotta make a couple more tools to make that too. I gotta make a longer, boring bar. But you're gonna have to finish a renovation first. I have a lot of things that I need to do. Speaking of which, Speaking of which, let's see it. There it is, God damn it Canada. Wait a second, have you skipped over my favorite sponsor? Oh? Do that? If you like like to prevent war crimes disaster coffee? The code is mof This is your weekly reminder to go buy coffee because it will make you happy or than otherwise. Yeah. Now, please explain to me how the Canadians have screwed up your day. So for those of you that aren't aware. The Canadian wildfires have yet again fucked up somewhere for quite a lot of the Midwest. Last couple of days we've been in the not healthy area of smoke, and today it's gotten as high as in some places near Chicago, like nine hundred parts per million nice, which is off the scale of bad. I think what was it, two hundred and fifty or three hundred is where they start calling it. Don't go outside five hundreds whether they say even healthy people don't spend more than a few minutes outside in it. Nine hundred is you're gonna have health effects inside. It's like, God damn it, Canada, can you just like put out your wildfires or I don't know, back burn them and just burn the thing out quicker. I mean, for Christ's sake, California doesn't make this much of a fuss. Why do you have to? Because if they backburn the woods, it angers the greenes. Look, I'm done caring what the greenees think for a lot of things, because most of these same greenies are also the ones preventing us from doing things like, ah, look at that completely pretty much safe nuclear power. Let's see mining the rarers that we need for the for the green car batteries that they all want us to have. Let's see, Oh but the third world tomorrow. Yeah, Yeah, they're fine with slavery as long as it's in Africa, the slavery. Yeah, they're completely fine with these data centers that are just gonna kind of straphically destroy lar swaths of of our environment, like I'm sorry, that are already poisoning the water supply and causing huge routes all across West Texas. Yeah, absolutely funny, how that look. It's I'm sorry, but the green piece hippie bullshit. It was. It was bullshit when they first started it back in the fifties and sixties. It was. It was all when they were hammering spikes into trees to prevent logging, which also killed the tree in the process, kills the tree, inder injures workers, destroys equipment, costs more money and time, and more negative environmental impacts. You know, a guy I used to know he had a term for people like this. He called them hippocrites. Yep, because everything they claimed to stand for they intentionally or unintentionally f up. Yeah, they do. They screw it all up, no matter what they try to do, which is just ridiculous. I'm sorry, but I have no faith that these that these suppose those of the green peace people have any good intentions, because everything they do turns out dog shit. No, Yeah, we gotta do we gotta do wind. Yeah, how's that going? Ah? Right, it's killing massive swaths of migratory birds. The fiberglass blades, they don't last fifty years, they really last more like fifteen. Oh. The solar panels. Yeah, great fucking job with that, until a hailstorm comes through smashes them all to shit. Now you've got to replace the whole field, and you've poisoned the groundwater. Good job, boys, well fucking done. M Like, oh oh, let's back to the wildfires. All the green piece hippi bullshit are protecting the forest and not letting them burn. Back in the forties, fifties and sixties, this is what we reap now because of your green piece hippie bullshit. My personal favorite, though, is the on again, off again love affair with a light with electric vehicles, because you know, there was a time before the Orange Man and the TV's told her by that Elon Musk was a Nazi where all the king greenies just could not wait to finance a freaking Tesla. Tesla like I bought them before, bought Twitter the bumper sticker, Yeah because that, Yeah, that makes it any better, you dip shit. Yeah, but they just think they could not wait to commit financial suicide buying this fucking overpriced golf cart. And then the minute the TV told them otherwise, they could not. They couldn't help themselves but to very quickly unload or deface their own vehicle that was eighty thousand dollars that depreciated seventy five percent in the first six months. Now, people can't give the damn things away. Look, I think electric vehicles make a lot of sense for a very specific segment of the population. They do. Does that very specific segment include people that like apparently can't figure out how to wash their ass without instructions. No, it does not. It's like mostly well, actually, yes, nine office workers, a lot of nine to five workers that they are only thing they do with that vehicle's commuting to and from work in getting groceries. Yeah, the ones who often cannot or will not put a supercharger station at their homes because their homes don't have enough available power reserve, and the ones who are lined up around charging stations every morning and every afternoon, and the ones that just cannot help themselves. It would be a gigantic pain in everyone else's ass because they have to have the one thing that doesn't run on the liquid dinosaur juice that every other goddamn thing on Earth runs on. Yep, yeah, Look, electric vehicles do have a point. They do. I think they do, and I think there is a very valid use case for them. The problem is the battery attack. It always has been the battery attack, and it probably will be the battery attack for at least next ten to fifteen years. And as bad as the battery tack, they do more damage to the environment when you crash one of those bastards and they lay it on fire every day for the next three weeks. So here's the thing. Two things. It's not three things, actually, the three things that make evs freaking stupid. And I will stand on business for this. A is from a standpoint of like manufacturer ability, recyclability and everything else, nine out of ten of these stupid things are built in such a way that it is almost impossible or completely impossible to service the battery pack without cutting the car in half. So the whole idea that like you could buy a car, you could pay it off, you can drive it until the wheels come off. And I understand that modern Americans cannot get past this idea where I have to trade up every three years. If that that in and of itself is dumb to me, but whatever. But now you don't even have. The option with an EV because the freaking thing is basically a laptop battery with four wheels on it. And as soon as the batteries start pitching hissy bits, you can't push a button, slide it out, slide a new one end You're just screwed. And that is why they'd depreciate as fast as they do, because everyone knows that at a certain amount of time they're going to completely go tits up. Two is the fact that they are predicated on a age an infrastructure for charging that does not exist to this day. Now, there are some cities where I will say it does exist, la San Francisco. But I do not accept that as a reasonable alternative because you can go to pigs Knuckle, Alabama and bind a gas station. Oh absolutely, if your entire if your entire strategy behind using this electric vehicle is predicated on I can only use it in this major city where there's a supercharger station every five blocks. Then to me, that is not a rational or reasonable decision, because it means that the one time I deviate from this very narrow little window where this thing works, it doesn't work anymore. And that's dumb. There is a nationwide series of gas stations, there's a nationwide series of transporting fuel. It's an infrastructure that's been built and been in place for generations, and it works. And until something works appreciably better, I don't see any reason. Well, it's the same adopt problem you get with most things, right that it's it's the early adopter issue. And yes, there are are going to be people that are going to adopt it way before the technology is, in my opinion, truly viable, and it's only barely marginally viable now. But here's my third point. A rag will kind of hit on it, and it's something that even early adopter doesn't overshadow. It's the fact that when one of these things inevitably catches fire, and they do occasionally do a. Lot of when they're in a flood, they catch fire when they're when they're in flood, they can catch fire. When they're improperly charged. They catch fire, and we do not have in place nationwide, good repeatable mechanisms to extinguish that fire. We don't have, even in the localized areas where they're extremely popular, have a reliable way to stop them from catching fire, because guess what happens. Yeah, three days after you put them out, it catches fire again. In the junkyard. Look, these were I'm not. The reason why we're using them in the car batteries is because they're extremely volatile. That allows them to store an incredible amount of energy in a very dense package. Now there are battery texts that are coming out now, the carbon nanotube batteries, the Life pro batteries, there's a few others. Well, I know the salties have been showing some problems, the salt batteries. Yeah, they're showing some promise. But look, until we hit upon a type of battery technology that doesn't spontaneously catch fire every time it's damaged, it's going to be a problem. Now, does do gasoline vehicles occasionally catch fire? Yeah? They do it. Yeah, Olivia kind of hit on it. You're going to try to prevent the spread and just let it burn itself out and then evacuate the area because of the toxic the toxic gas that it creates, acidic, acidic smoke burning lithium is not fun stuff to be around. Who to thunk yep. Anyway, all that to say that, like I I personally appreciate the tech involved. In EV's I get that. I get I get the appeal. I personally don't like the driving experience, but the idea though. I've driven one of the EV trucks and she pops. I'll give it that. There's a lot of acceleration in that truck, But it's the truck things. Yeah, the the forty, the the f one fifty lightning that came out that was its zero to sixty is phenomenal. That's that's phenomenal. But actually truck things with it. It's got like a forty five mile range. I think, uh so towing a forty foot box trailer full of landscaping equipment they were able to I want to say it was seventy five miles on a full charge. With seventy five miles, so my RAM fifteen hundred will do four hundred miles with that same trailer. Unless it's cold outside, and then they just discharge themselves sitting in the driveway. There is that Yeah, uh oh. The door jams will not come with cancer sticker warnings because that would clue the Greenies in that they've been ad I don't know. There's a lot of evidence to suggest Prop sixty five warning labels should be on every electric car. They come on your gas powered vehicle. I'm not holding my breath. That would involve somebody in California having common sense, and I'm fairly sure that that's been firmly stamped out. I mean, I hear Northern California as you know, normal people. Yes, Northern California that is ruled over by Southern California as if it is a medieval fief dump because it is. They're their tax cattle. Like in fact, that I expect them to finally get annoyed enough that they overthrow their overlords. That would be great. We're working on it. In Illinois. We are working on kicking Chicago and Cook County and several of the other collar counties out of the state into their own state. We're gonna make it a little bit better with blackjack and hookers and no Chicago. It'll be fantastic that that all sounds like a bucket of fun to me. Can I contribute, Amo, No, we're looking at doing it like through law, through just the counties joining together in proceeding. Supposed is a legal way to do it in the Illinois state Constitution. So oh, Nick, that is adorable to think that you think that that is still an option. I don't know that I believe it anymore. I would rather not have a shooting war in Illinois. Honestly, this place is a pain in the ass enough as it is without that much more gun fire crossing between the streets. I was about to say, Nick, say that, say that sends one more time. I mean, it's that much more gunfire at least right now, the one before that, the one before that. I would rather not have a shooting war in Illinois. I don't remember what I said, like every Saturday night in Chicago. Yeah, but that's all in Cook County for the most part, Like other than Saint Louis and Cook County, we really don't have a gun violence issue in Illinois. I mean, Rockford gets spicy some nights, but not nearly that bad. In other words, just like the rest of the country, where if you take like just a couple of these big metro areas out of the equation, there's not a gun violence problem in the United States. Yeah, it's almost like it's an organized crime problem and not a gun problem. Hmm. That sounds way too common sense school. Yeah, but you know, the police aren't going to do anything about the organized crime because that's dangerous. Yeah, but they'll show up if you try to do something about the organized crime problem. Depends on the neighborhood. Depends in the neighborhood, because you know those So are you familiar with the shot spotter systems? M? Yes. Do you want to know how what percentage of shot spotter notifications in Chicago actually get police dispatched to them? Five? Three? Last time I checked, it was three percent. They checked three percent. Now about ten percent of them get reported via a nine one one call. So police aren't showing up to stop them. They're probably not showing up to stop you either. Not that I advocate for vigilanteism, but look, it seems like they're just not doing their job. Oh. Yes, we put the shot spotter out there so we can find everyone who's doing illegal gun stuff inside the city limits. Yeah. The only show up like that meme I keep seeing show up on that meme I keep seeing show up on Instagram says no one is coming to save you. Also means no one is coming to stop. Did I send you the one of the guy in full plate mail mowing his lawn. I didn't get to see it before the show. I was furiously trying to finish a clean cleaning up after dinner. I sent you a lot of memes today at work. You have, although I still think the mad marks when I sent you that was a blue ribbon prize one that was pretty stop, pretty stellar. I showed my wife and like fifteen seconds in she said, oh I hate her. Nice. Okay topic, y'all keep talking to the machines, yes now, and as we do. My AI is heresy. My mistrust of AI is well founded because I grew up watching and reading Dune and Terminator Bro. We're three years away from the Machine rising. All I'm saying is my my entire childhood was spent being told that if y'all keep talking to the machines, I either. End up being a war Lord or the leader of the resistance, so or understand that skull in a manufacturer or I mean that that comes after after the resistance, that that's many many thousand years in the future. I won't be around for all that. Maybe, although we do have bolters now we do, we also have people using human brains to play Doom. Because that seems like a great idea, well, human neural tissue anyway, that that's kind of based Actually no, no, it's not. Okay, great, we took we took human brain tissue, cloned it and sent it into the video game version of Hell. There's no way that ends positively. I didn't say positively. It could be entertaining, though, yeah, I guess you know, you do realize that's like the Butler and Jihad. It was all about all about human brains in a robot chassis trying to enslave the galaxy. Like every single hard and saw sci fi setting has Ai going rogue and trying to murder us all. There might be a thing there, but one of our listeners does not share my predilections for mistrusting Ai. And Mark asked Claude to design a one hundred round pistol drill plan, which I found to be an interesting use of AI. Like I think, so if you think about it, AI is so you You and I have been very upfront about like, we don't consider AI to be intelligent. It's an information aggregate, it is. And in this case, I would say, if it's taking say brute force, look at all of the different pistol drills. Let's assume it did the job he asked it to do, which we don't know for sure. But no, but since I thought ahead and loaded all this into a spreadsheets, so we are into a PowerPoint so we'd have easy access to it. The prompt he asked, and I'm paraphrasing only slightly, was to pretend it was Jeff Cooper and Ron Avery and Jeff Cooper I'm very familiar with Ron Avery not so much, and it was it was given the problem of designing the best pistol droll layout for only one hundred. Rounds of ammunition. That was that was the problem. That was the problem. Kind of like broad strokes, did it do what he asked? I will say kind of. I did not have very high hopes for this, but I was not horribly disappointed. Yeah, so let's let's go through first what Claude cooked up based on his prompt and then I'm sure at the end of that you and I might have some critiques, but you know, that is kind of proofing out the fact that, like AI can do okay work, but might need a little bit of a kick in the butt here and there, and and this is definitely coming from a non professional. I am not a professional pistol shooting instructor. Neither is Phil. I'm a very enthusiastic amateur. All right, Yeah, So the governing principle was without a timer, use surprise, break accountability, push your draw, and press as fast as you can while calling your shot. The pre range. To dry fire before loading a single round. Ten minutes, dry fire to draw out the first shot, trigger reset, press out to compress. Ready, Yeah, yeadio, all right, three yards it's calling for Let me just get through this whole first page, and then before I pause three yards, press out isolation seven yards, draw to one shot, call it seven yards Mozambique failure, drill five to seven yards, Ball and. Dummy if you're not familiar with that one Phil, Ball and dummies where you throw a dummy round randomly or two into the magazine, chuck a snapcat in everynown and then yep, yeah, similar to a malfunction drill. And then twenty five yard precision draw. All right, so going through this, this first drill that they're recommending is literally just like, in my opinion, a pretty standard draw. Press out, take a deliverate shot, start a compressed ready, drive it full extension, break the shot, the instant, the front site, bisex the target, reindex to compress ready, and repeat, push progressively faster each set of five. So it's gone for three sets of five rounds. You know, I'll you know, I'm gonna save my comment for the end. I'll save I'll save my critique. Okay, I mean, personally, i've done this before. I find it to be a fairly fairly standard kind of low hanging fruit. But I mean it's not a bad pisson. No, no, no, it's it's a good drill. My criticism is not of the drill itself. Okay, then we'll unpack that at the end. Go for it, Uh, draw to one shot? So draw a fire one shot verbally or mentally, call the shot before you look at the target. I question whether or not that's a useful drill for a beginner, although this is probably more aimed at like novice branching towards expert because, like we've talked before about the ability to call a shot is kind of hit or. Miss at a certain skill level. Look, I'll tell you this, if you are attempting to push speed. If you're attempting to push speed, you are not going to have a perfect site picture to be able to call where that shot should have gone. Now, if it's I've seen the call it drills. Where you are you have a number of targets in front of you, and you are actively in your head calling out okay, second from the left as you pick your target, to force you to think while you're doing it, or have a buddy with you that calls out which target you're supposed to shoot as you're presenting the firearm. This this one I've never really done personally. Number two, but I've had where a buddy was calling what either what part of the target I was to shoot or which target I was to shoot. Yeah, so I've never done this trying to call my shots. I mean, this is not dissimilar from what I do with a mannis a lot of times is just draw, draw from concealment or draw from draw from holster, get to the first shot as quickly as possible. I do like the fact that we're actually like separating out ten rounds deliberately, so slow to ten rounds smooth and fluid, and then ten rounds push it until the wheels come off. Like I like the fact that you were kind of installing roadblocks for the training purpose of go go slower than you need to work on your form and then introduce some speed, but still keep it fluid. And then at last ten rounds we're pushing as hard. Yeah, we're pushing as fast as we can. We'll still be saved because we're we're trying to make the wheels come off with us. You're trying to you're trying to get some point of where accuracy breaks down. Yeah, and I frankly I think that's important. Like I think that for a lot of people that shoot flat range, we we have that hesitation about pushing harder and harder, harder. Like we get it, we get it in our heads that the goal is always to put all the all the rounds into this tiny little group. But that's not defensive shooting defensive shooting is I need this magazine emptied as fast as possible while still getting all the bullets where they need to go. I will say, the one thing I disagree with Cooper on is his shots outside of the A zone means you outrain your skull. Look, a B zone hit is still a vital zone. Hit. B zone is still going to drop a target, assuming it, assuming it hits a critical organ eventually will drop a target. Now. The only the only thing I will counter that with. And they're like, this is from personal experience. But like the average person does not under pressure perform to the maximum level. They train to it with pressure. But there lies the thing. If you train to a zone hits, then under pressure with adrenaline with you know, like with everything that working against you, you should shoot down to. Be B zone. Yes, if you train as opposed to shoot trained B zone, now you might be dropping outside the B zone. Like that's that's the only alibi I can give to that standard. I think it depends on at what level of stress you are training yourself. So for instance, one of one of one of my shooting instructors favorite drills was win sprints and then shots on against the clock shots racing another person while you're racing a sprint against the other person. Mm hm. So you've got your adrenaline and going, you've got your heart rate going, you've got your breathing a little bit out of control. At least for most of us, because most of us were not athletes, we were kind of you know, I think most of us were mid twenties to early forties, reasonably out of shape dudes running sprints down down a pistol range. Usually it was I say it was a fifty yard range because we're usually on the rifle range. It was usually two to three laps down and back, and then it was a ten shot course of fire over a number of targets, racing against the guy doing the exact same thing. So it depends on the amount of stress you're adding to your training. I would say, yeah, no, I mean I don't disagree with you, Like I said, that is like the only that is, the only alibat I can give is that if you train to a certain standard, even if you don't live up to that standard, in the heat of the moment, with the adrenaline flowing, you're still it's the old the old addagens in the precision circles of if you if you aim, if you aim for an inch, you might miss by an inch. Right, aim for a foot, you're gonna miss by Oh. Absolutely. It's just it's just. The idea that like we're gonna hold ourselves to this. I don't want to call it unrealistic, but this this excessive accuracy standard. The highest standard possible. Yes, exactly, that's fair. I I just think that I think that in some in some circles, you see this insistence that if you're not maintaining premium accuracy in a scenario where you are stressing yourself and you are pushing yourself, saying that you that it's no longer being productive. I don't think is useful. I'll agree with that. I will also say that it's seven yards. I mean, I personally never The only time I trained at seven yards is if I'm shooting my jaframe. Really and. Yeah, I mean, if I'm if I'm shooting like my either my double stake nine mills, I'm shooting at usually twelve to fifteen yards. So I like to if in my perfect range in the places I like to shoot, I have targets at usually three five seven, and ten, I will have targets at a variety of distances, and a variety of sized targets at those distances. I guess I've just never felt the need to train at that short of range with most guns because like, at that, at that short of a range, to me, it is it is too simple a task to attain what I would consider to be reasonable accuracy. And by pushing the target further and further out, I am increasing the rate I'm increasing the visibility of when I screw up. Sure, that's that's fair. I suppose what I'm not I'm not necessarily training for the screw ups at that at those ranges. What I'm training is my cognitive processing of a variety of targets at a variety of ranges. I see what you're saying. So like, for instance, we'll have a blue target at three, We'll have a blue target at ten. We'll have a red target at three, We'll have a red target at five. And it's blue far blue, close, It's it's making you think while you're shooting. It's like dot torture, similar to dot torture with similar to the dot torture with live fire and with more movement as well. That's fair. So not only you're moving, you're shooting, you're thinking altogether. All right, Mozambique at seven yards, two fast shots to the thoracic, hard visual shift to the head, one precise shots, seven strings of three rounds. I will say that I'm gonna like kind of beat myself to the punch. I really have no criticisms about including a Mozambique in in anyone shooting I like any drill that makes you think while you're doing it. I like drills that to me seem like somewhat based in reality, and like I cannot ever remember a time when I was in the military where we were like intentionally trained only take one shot at a target. It was shoot at the target until the target stops running towards you. Shoot it to the ground, yep, shoot it until it stops misbehaving. So I like the. Idea that we're kind of like building into. I like the idea that we're building into a shooting drill, the idea that, like you are going to double tap this target at a minimum, and then you're going to just just tap the brakes for a second, line up that third shot, and then take it yeah. I do like a Mozambique drill. The one thing I will say about it is, do not exclusively train most Ambique drills or law like multiple three four five shots of fire on a single target drills because what what I I would hate to see a training scar built that caught to do yourself dirty in a court of law later. Yeah, you know it's don't ever do the same drill over and over and over and over to begin with, like you really want to, you really want to break things up and introduce some writing your training, because the goal here is not to train one skill until we can look cool dode on Instagram front of our buddy. Is the goal here is to improve a skill set? Yeah? No, absolutely, all right, ball and dummy drill. I'll be the first. I'll be the first admit any one of us that's been shooting enough has done this at least once unintentionally because of bad ammunition. Yep, I've done I've done it in the middle, in the middle of a match because of bad ammunition. Yeah. And I will say that, like I personally, I enjoy this because there is nothing that is more humbling than thinking to yourself, I know how to shoot and then you watch that front side dude. Go whoop when you drop the hammer and nothing happens. Yeah, And I have heard like the inverse of this argument, which is like, well, anticipating the recoil isn't an issue because by the time you do whatever, the bullet should have left the barrel. Like I understand that that is true. If that was true, then dry fire would not improve your shooting. That there is that alternative though, if dry fire works, which many many nationally and internationally ranked shooters have proven that dry fire works, then you anticipating the recoil can deviate your shot. And I will say this much, I personally have found it very like I know that the beginning of this real estate, like you should do some dry fire before you go through this course of fire. I really like to do some dry fire the day before, yep, just to like just try to knock the rust off, because like my goal when I go to the range is to be productive, is to use my ammunition wisely it is to get it is to get in the reps with the noise with the recoil that I cannot get at home. And if a couple of minutes dry fire ahead of time means that my range test is more productive. Then it's saving me effort and time. Sure, all right, last, but not least, twenty five yard precision draw after the speedwork. The twenty five yard line tells the truth about your fundamentals. No timer needed, the distance self demand's patience. Yes, Christ Almighty, it does. I mean yes and no. I mean for the average pistol shooter. I had my father in law who does not own a pistol and has only shot a pistol a handful of times, making twenty five yard shots on a six inch gong regularly two weeks ago after two mags at the range. I mean this does say a zone hits, so I mean azone hits. So what's a zone? Uh? Three by d find it? I don't, I don't shoot it. Three by six, four by eight might be four by eight. I mean four by eights are reasonable size to hit a twenty five yards? Sure it is, but it's also not. Look it's not unattainable. It is not unattainable. It's it's fairly easily attained, especially if you're going for no time pressure. It's extraordinarily attainable. Although I do find that like I find that putting something like this at the end of the drill probably works very well because after after this constant, do the drill accelerate? Do the drill accelerate? Do the drill accelerate? This forces you to, like at the end of your at the end of all this, when you've had every opportunity to develop a bad habit or flinch or something else that you can you can, not saying you should, but you can kind of ride off as well. I was intentionally pushing as fast as I could to make the wheel squa off the buzz, but then this forces you to slow all the way back down. Yeah, and there's nothing size well lame shots. I think that's great. I just I don't think that a twenty five yard pistol shot is that difficult to attain with modern firearms. I don't think it is on a four by eight a zone. I would agree with that. I don't think. I don't think it's that difficult to attain. I mean maybe for an extremely new shooter that is not proficient with their equipment, maybe. I mean, so the drill, the drill, I had a problem. I had a problem. I was at number two. Throw that back up, go back to like number two, press off isolation. Okay, I don't have a problem with this drilling particular. What I have a problem with is I don't think. I do not think five rounds is enough to productively induce building muscle memory and habits. I don't, but I really is. But is it enough to confirm muscle memory after ten minutes of dry fire practice? It could be. It could be. I when I go out to do holster work a lot of times, what I do is I dedicate the first two magazines, so thirty rounds to draw from the holster, present the target, fire shot, and then I will was it. Usually for the first magazine, I do first shot on target in a fairly controlled and I would say slow pace, and then for the next magazine I ramp up until I'm at my maximum speed. I don't really do round count limited training. I don't. I make my own ammunition at home. I usually have more than enough for my needs and a couple of buddies' needs with me at the range. I get why they're limiting this to the fifteen rounds. If you are that limited on ammunition, and I think what you could do is you could cut you could cut the last drill, cut the twenty five yard drill, because let's be honest here and very realistic, the most likely self defense shooting is between zero and ten yards. Less than one magazine of ammunition, which a lot of them presents. The firearm threat is ended. Okay, I think in the beginning you would be better off taking that drill five. Take the ammunition out of that drill. So is that twenty rounds twenty round Add those twenty rounds to that first drill in air the second drill, in my opinion not no, it'd be press all isolation. Add them to the press aleut isolation drill. But I would like to see it done from the holster. So clear cover garment draw in your steps four to five steps. Depend on how you break it down, depend on who trained you. Everybody has different names for the steps. Don't worry about it. As long as you are safely controlling the muzzle of the firearm through the entire drawstroke, pressing out controlled trigger press. I think you will get more benefit out of that. For the most realistic and most common defensive shootings. Then you get out of a twenty five yard precision shooting. For a new person, so I'm going to agree and discree fair enough, go for it. I would also scrap drill number five, okay, but. What I want to see done with the twenty rounds is something completely different. I want to see you take two mags load of five rounds each. So you're gonna do this drill twice and your goal is to put all ten rounds into your target, say ten yards, a little bit more more than seven. Sure, because that's like ten ten's the extreme end of the more common self defense shootings. Yeah, but ten ten is also like kind of one of the closer ranges I actually train at. Like again, I will be the first admit that my double action trigger press is nowhere near good enough to be taking twenty five yard shots with a jayframe. And if y'alls is, that's. Cool, But I haven't met many people that can shoot that's why action jframe. I mean, I'm just I'm just saying a little fifteen ounce jframe is not an easy gun to shoot well at distance. No, it's not, and that's very fair. I think it's not built to be an easy distance gun. Yeah, but all that said, I would take those rounds. I want to see you put five rounds in each mag I want to see you put all ten rounds at ten yards into the target as quickly a humanly pop gospel while maintaining a zone hits with a. Reload. Now, the trick here is the way I personally do this is that I don't I eskew use of the use of the rear sights completely. All I'm doing is I'm putting the front blade on the target, and every time that gun comes down at a recoil, as soon as that front blade goes to the middle of target, you snap it again. So your goal here is point shooting is a combination of point shooting is a combination of recoil control, because the more you the less the gun rises, the faster you can get it back down to target. But the idea is to figure out what your natural cadence is is how fast I can shoot before I've got a bullet here and a bullet here, and a bullet here and a bullet here. That's fair a zone hits and a reload. I want to see you be able to do that. Because we all know the statistics around self defense shooting. Self defense shootings are usually solved in one magazine, but I'm going to force you to a reload. But they're solved at relatively short distance and very quickly, and usually very low round count usually very low round counts. But the reason I say five rounds in a reload is because I really want to push this idea that we're reloading in a control but quick manner during training. Yes, and because of that, I'm not going to say, like, load your magazines full, dump fifteen rounds of the target, then get a reload and. Do fifteen more. I'm trying to stick to this twenty round maximum. Now. Now, I will say this, if you are going to do a reload drill, I don't want to see that loaded magazine on a table. I want to see it wherever you carry that loaded magazine exactly how you would carry it every day. For me, it's fair. It's weak side bullets, forward bullet tip, projectile tip, forward index with index finger up into the magua. That's theory I was taught. That's the way my muscle memory works out. So yeah, Well, mean, we've to talk about the fact that usually when I'm just out and around town, I don't carry a reload. Sure, I usually have a reload in my vehicle. I have a reload like in you know, I have a reload in my home. But the idea again is. I'm trying to break you up from just doing a mag dump into the target. No, absolutely, I think I think that's smart because it trains a secondary skill, which is reloading, which is a skill we all need to be working on because reloads, fumbled reloads will will lose you more gunfights and lose you more matches than you would want to believe. You can very easily drop a few seconds. Yeah, Rag was saying, that's why it's the backup pistol. I guess talking about the jayframe. Yeah, and no, Stewart, I cannot start over, Nope, I cannot. It's fashion empty. I can't start like my coffee is empty. I have to work tomorrow, so I can't have a second old fashion So it's a whole thing. Yeah, But anyway, that that's like, I we don't really have mega criticisms about this this course of fire, and I'm not even super critical about the fact that it's kept to one hundred rounds because that does two things for the person who's like trying to train on an AMMO budget, one hundred rounds is a reasonable amount of money. Well, let's see, what's a thousand rounds of nine millimeters costs right now while you're looking that up. But the other thing is time true, because I can't I can't speak for everybody, like I'm I am spoiled in the fact that my local go to range charges you ten bucks to shoot all stinking day. But if your only opt is but if your only option is an indoor range where you're gonna pay fifteen to twenty bucks per hour, if you can get all your training done in one hour, that now becomes another thing that like a self imposed limit, Like I don't want to have to pay for two hours at this range. Maybe you don't have two hours to spend, Like I totally understand the idea of placing limits on our training time. And if we do that by round count or by time whatever I mean. It's the idea here is to get as much bang for the buck out of this training regimen. And you know what that works out. So Cci Blazer Brass won fifteen grains, which I'm not a big fan of, but they're crappy as brass. But it is cheap. It is available and it is reliable. I've shot a lot of Cci Blazer brass and it's better than Winchester White Box. The brass sucks for reloading, but if you're not a reloading guy, go with the cheap brass, or go with the Blazer aluminums, whatever does not matter. Twenty five cents around so're talking twenty five bucks of training. I mean around me. Twenty twenty to thirty bucks is your average hour of range time if you have to pay for an indoor range, So you're talking to fifty to seventy dollars range day. Pretty reasonable to get there once a month and do one hundred round drill. But here's the trick. I know that, like we we haven't. Talked about in the show at a long time time, but like when I very first started off on my little preparedness journey, I had just taken a thirty percent pay cut coming from one industry to start in another. And when I tell you, every dollar was precious. We lived and died by staying on budget. Like I couldn't even make the amount of contribution to my IRA that I wanted because we just didn't have the available money. Like it was a whole situation there for those first couple of years. Now obviously things. Are better now, but at first I had a literal like a line on him in my monthly budget that was for AMO, and I could spend more than that. So I understand that, you know, sixty five seventy bucks for a range day is not unreasonable, But if that's literally all you can spend, then that means going once a month instead of going what's every other month? Or it's not a bad set of drills, it's I don't see anything in there that to me is you're doing yourself wrong following this training regimen. I think you can do better for yourself reorganizing and reallocating the AMO a little bit. But consider an AI cook that up. Not bad, I'm not I'm not an impressed. It's not terrible. It for for a new shooter that it that doesn't have a trainer, that doesn't have an experienced gun person to go to, Honestly, not bad. They're not gonna hurt them, they're not going to hurt their abilities following something like that. No, not at all. No. So now the now the real question, how can AI help preparedness? It can go to help other than it can. It can prevent several preparedness incidents from ever happening by avoiding the AI wars entirely. Okay, So with the understanding that we are probably a couple of centuries off from the butlerry and g high or being turned into a cup. We are three years away from the rise of sky met sir. Okay, it is important. So in two and a half years you need to move down here so we can start the resistance together. It's so hot down there, even in a nuclear winter. It's so hot down there. It'll be nice and it'll be nice and temporary when there's a nuclear winter, and the machines probably don't like the humidity. That's fair unless they're made a titanium, which they are. The tea. The T one thousand has a titanium X endoskeleton. The T one thousand was made of liquid metal. It had no that was T two thousand. The T one thousand was Swarzenegger. T one thousand with Swartzenegger. T two thousand was the one that could turn into the cop. No, that was T one thousand. The T eight hundred with schwartz neeg was it eight hundred? Fuck is my brain screwed up? Maybe I haven't had enough burber to truly understand Skya. Who are you going to trust I've been drinking coffee, You've been drinking old fashioned. To be fair, I stopped drinking coffee at like four this afternoon, so I'm still fairly caffeinated. Okay, while we while we pride ourselves for what I have on the telepropter, I'm gonna make a note about how we need to have a whisky fueled conversation. Sword agrees with you. You're probably right. Damn movies that predict the future. I will absolutely eat crawfish and budan. We are coming down soon. Yeah, sorry that you know of my wife? Lord the tism is arguing again. Uh you know what she can talk call the smack she she wants. She married, she asked for this life, she did. She willingly encourages it continuously. Yeah all right, So AI for preparedness, I have a couple of thoughts. Okay, I think where AI is really going to shine for preparedness is kind of the strong points that AI has research aggregation, organization, prioritization, and efficiency. Yeah, I could see I could see you taking and using say, like how you and I and Andrew threw together those. Hey, how cheap can you do two weeks for the food? Yeah? I bet you could take I bet you could take an AI now, probably a claud or one of them. Input your dietary parameters, input your budget until it get me the maximum amount of food per dollar, and balance nutrition that is shelf stable for X number of months, and I think they spit out something reasonable. Now, granted that's probably gonna from like the government balance nutrition thing, which we all know is horseshit potentially. I mean, it's gonna be the same problem as every other thing research on the internet gives you was that it's garbage and garbage out. But I feel like AI strengths, Like I don't feel like AI excels at decision making. No, but it's very it's very good at data aggregation, very good at that. Also not very good at nuanced new I feel like if you give it a really explicit prompt, like it'll go off and try to do what you're asking it to do. But like my my whole thing with AI, and my whole thing with automations too, is always to tell people like, look, this thing is basically a super powered three year old, right, it will do exactly what you told it. Especially it is not inventive. It is not creative. It is not going to like it is going to do exactly what you tell it at face value. Probably, Look it's it's it's very much like machines. And I tell every time I train a new apprentice or a new intern, I tell them the same thing. So I just said, this machine will do exactly what you told it to do, especially when it's wrong. And we've trained AI on the internet. Your wife is saying, it's scary how similar we are. Yeah, probably, but the interesting part is how similar her and Gillian are. I know, it's almost like they did it to themselves. So I did want to just throw in here, like I personally have not fooled around a lot of AI. I don't know. I'm just much more of like an automation bot programming kind of person. But I did have. I did build a couple of automations over the over my time that you could argue are kind of useful. I mean, I guess one is one's really for preparedness his and the other one just is like spousal crap. But like I have one that sends my location and my ETA to Gillian. Oh, like just text it all to where If I'm getting in my car to head home. And it's not like I'm leaving work, she knows about what time I'm going to get home. But like if I'm at some place and I just wanted to let her know, Hey, I'm heading home, press one button and it searches through, use the map to term what my location is, screenshots the map with my location pinned on. It, figures out my ETA back to home, and then sends her a text message saying this is where I'm at. I'll be home this much time. I could see that being really useful if you had a couple of kids and you had the phones and then be like, hey, just when you leave someplace text me yeah. And this isn't even like text me. This is literally like a widget on me on my log screen. I mean like, just yeah, hit the button. Then we know where you are. We're not tracking you. It just lets us know that you're coming home and about one to expect you. Now. The other thing I built that is I genuinely use this almost every day when I'm leaving work, so I have an automation built into my phone that I press one button. It knows where my work is, it knows where my home is, and I have two principal routes that I take to get home. Either I go over the twins Band Bridge or over the Causeway Bridge, because those are like the two major bridges to get from anywhere in New Orleans back to the other side of the lake where I live. Now, nine times out of ten my preference would be to go home on the Causeway, But if there's ever a wreck on the Causeway or on the Twins Ban I really don't want to go that direction, because all of a sudden, your trip home can suddenly start taking like substantially longer, like forty five minutes to an hour longer, depending on where it is and depending on what how much rush hour traffic you're dealing with. So what this automation does is it looks at it it figures out the route from my workplace to home, stopping through one town and then stopping through the other town to like force those two routes to diverge and go across the bridges, and then it gives me a very simple report where it says causeway this many minutes twin span this many minutes you go and if and I know just from experience that those two routes usually they're like fifty minutes plus or minus a minute or two in either direction. But I've had a couple of times where I've hit that and one of them has said, like one hundred and twenty something minutes. Now you at the end of the day, that's the direction I'm not going home today. So I think we're I think we're and I'm kind of lumping in bots and shortcuts and a lot of this stuff into AI are just bought automation at scale. That's really all it's. It's but I'm lumping all this together because like, where I think preparedness could benefit from a lot of these more modern technologies is the idea that if there's something we're doing repeatedly, finding a way to automate it pays dividends. And if automating a series of commands means that we're more likely to do the thing. Instead of just saying I'm in the truck already, I'm ready to go home, I'm not trying to like, you know, check the map and check the routes and all this stuff. The simple fact that it's a button. Press and literally a lot of times I hit the button as I'm slipping my phone in my pocket when I'm getting up out of my desk at work, And by the time I've walked down three flights of stairs, I get ding on my watch and it's it's done. All that, And before i even walk out the front door of the parking lot, I'm like, Okay, I can go whichever way I wander and better not go that way. Yeah, that's great, that's a wonderful use of it. And I would imagine you could probably use one of these AI systems for a similar task. I don't know. I don't play with them much because I have too many other things I'm doing with my time. Maybe well, then again, I also took that same automation and kind of ballooned it up so that now it's also location based, so when I'm at work, it figures out the time to get home. When I'm at home, it figures out the time to get to work. So that if there's a on the way to work, I can divert around it because I can look at and say, oh, it's fifty minutes communing time. That's about like normal, or oh it's one hundred and twenty minutes to get to work. What the hell happened? I should go find a way around it, depending on where the wreck is. And I also programmed into it to where if I'm not at home or at work, it automatically figures out the drive time from wherever I am to get home. Love how they call agents. Love what they call it agents, because that does not at all bring to mind Agent Smith. No, but I think I think the motivation there is trying to, like as creepy as this might be, so mean all, but like trying to humanize this thing, so that oh, it. Absolutely is trying to human because and I will not stand for that, because they're not human. Even though if they ever are sentient, we need to treat them like they are. I think if they air become sentient, we should unplug them. But that's just me. Yeah, but look, I okay, this is a completely non prepping guns or politics related stuff, right, only in that I think we should treat all sentient things as though they're sentient. I don't think we share technological or biological I don't think we should go creating sentient things, probably not, at least not on accident. Like I I make this same argument about like book up culture and and how you're you're playing Russian Roulette with making people. You probably shouldn't do that with AI either. Yeah, but the thing of it is that like the ability of humans to rapidly outpace the rest of humanity is theoretically fairly self limiting, and the ability of machines to outpace humanity is almost a guarantee. Well sure, but I'm just saying from a moral in a responsibility standpoint, you shouldn't go creating sentient beings at random without care and forethought. Yeah, but you and I will debate endlessly what random means, because I tend to think that the path that science has set itself on, it's not it's not going to. Be random or accidental. It's a fore that's going to happen eventually. No no, no, it's not. Okay, So so not whether or not it happens, it's when, where and how it happened. But that's like driving drunk and then saying I got into an accident. You were driving drunk. There was a there was a reality. I'm saying we shouldn't do that. I guess what I gets. Okay, I guess I'm taking issue with the word accident because it's like, no, it's not accidental. They're they're they're actively going to do it. I'm using the colloquial form of accidental, I suppose, rather than the property with your autistic friend that doesn't do anything colloquially. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're not wrong. I mean, like, I'm just saying we shouldn't go willy nilly creating sentient beings or constructs. It's probably not a good idea. We absolutely shouldn't, but humanity those things willy nilly. Oh yeah, No, I'm not saying I that anybody's gonna listen to me. They don't. Well, some of you listen to me, but I don't know if you take actions based on it that that we'll find out later that that's slightly more terrifying. I'm just I'm just saying that I don't I have apprentices and interns that listen to me and they actually do take actions based on my input. I'm just saying that, like, I would really appreciate if we would stop fooling around with the thinking machines before I get strapped into a god machine and turn into a PRINCEIP, just just saying that's just not. Yes, Stewart, words. Have meanings, and you do tell me that often. And it's because you have a. And two lawyers for parents, huh, and lawyers for parents, yes, and lawyers for parents. Look, Ragel Bezos might have a plan. I don't like Bezos. I don't like his plans. I don't trust any of those fools. I don't trust the plans of a person whose plan includes a bunker in case it goes wrong, because you know, look, you no longer have as much skin in the game as I do. If I had the budget, I would also have a bunker in case their plan is wrong. Yes, but you wouldn't actively participate in the plan that you suspected was going to go bad enough that you would need the bunker. I mean, as a guy that works in mass manufacturing, I absolutely do support the plan through my work that I know will probably go wrong, because a lot of times I don't know what the things I make go into. I know what they make, but I don't know what that part does. Guy the comment said he has a belt fed three thirty eight. I have to take a way for the roadbot. I hope you do. I doubt you do. But if someone out there does have a belt fed three to eight, I just want to. I don't think they make a belt fed three thirty eight. Nick, you're about to make a machine shop. I can't make belt fed weapons. And you can make gatling guns in Illinois crank fed from a stick mag yes, belt fed no, Okay, you can make a gatling gun stick mag fed three gun. Technically, yes, I could. You're thinking technically yes I could. I am actively thinking about it and working out the scaling factor in my head. And this is going to get in so much true. This is how bad decisions begin. It is. I want to prove out the mechanism and the scaling factor first. But yeah, yeah, I mean it's technically lausible. I mean there's nothing stopping you. In fact, it we probably feed more reliably because it's not a rimmed case and it's bottle. Now that's a thought would feed more reliably than twenty two rim fires. So what you're saying is there's a chance. There's definitely a chance. I don't know if the barrel would fit on my laith, I'd have to get a bigger layth Oh darn, oh darn. Rachel is gonna slap the crap out of me when she sees me. Probably that's okay. You're a big man, you can handle yem. I'm sure all right. Do we have any other criticisms talks in here about AI? Like I I personally, I think AI is like any other tool in your toolbox. Use it for the things that's good at. Don't try to use it for this stuff it's not good at. But please, for the love of Christ. If you use AI for anything prepared, just related, please double check your results. Oh absolutely, it's It's like any other resource, even the stuff that me and Phil say on here. I mean, Christ, everybody knows here that I've been wrong more than a few times on air. I mean, my wife says, no more machines. She did say the surface grinder was okay though. And the dust collector will wear that's for my I'll wear it down. It's a medically necessary dust collector and a gatling gun three A three thirty eight gatling gun would be medically necessary as well. It's an emotional support gas. An emotional support gatling gun there you go. We're trying to manage your stress exactly. And what makes me feel less stressed than a six barrel rotary firearm chambered in a christ almighty large cartridge. Look, I already probably gave myself a mild concussion with my three hundred win mag How much possibly more could this go wrong? Yeah, I'm definitely gonna get slapped. Definitely definitely getta get slapped. It's your fault. Okay, I'll live with that, all right. I guess we'll punt this one out the door. We are rapidly approaching the tenth anniversary of Matter of Facts. Lord, so we're like less than thirty days away. Crap. If I were a really professional podcaster, I would be better prepared these kinds of things. Less than thirty days we are four weeks. We are four weeks away. It is the thirteenth of August. So if you've been like sitting on the sidelines they can have a good reason not to show up for a stream, then you should probably mark this one on your calendar. It'll be the tenth anniversary. I am told that original co host Andrew is making to try to make an appearance. Good, Good, We must celebrate. There will be no topic that night. It will be just whiskey fueled mayhem and bsing and maybe like talking through ten years of podcasting and prepper camp and summer camp trips and fun, but mostly whiskey fuel mayhem. Yes, So if. Anybody would like us talk about something other than whiskey fuel mayhem, you'll just have to show up to that stream. And you'll also have to show up to see. The thing that Stuart made for is that I'm not ready to unquirk yet. He did a thing and it is pretty baller. And then Gillian took the thing and turned it up to eleven. Mm hmmm. So I'm thinking i might let that missile out the silo like the week before, just tease it. I'll tell everybody what it is. They're gonna have to show up on the day of that stream to see what it is. Mm hm. Anyway, matter of fact, is gonna go out the door, use AI responsibly, don't get yourself turned into a servo skull. And Christ almighty, if if in a couple more years the nuclear weapons start flying around in the sky and you start seeing, you know, metal men running around in the streets, I warned y'all, and y'all didn't listen. Yep. Good night Challs, good night
