[00:00:00] You're listening, kid.
[00:00:07] To pay the end.
[00:00:10] You'll pay us back the stability here. the
[00:00:32] the to walk the path back to stability it will ask much of you that's the part that gets left out of the cool music in the cool
[00:00:48] tone
[00:00:51] of the intro disaster coffee is on tap here at the cost of liberty and it is
[00:00:55] outrageous
[00:00:58] we need a coffee this year
[00:01:01] didn't even think about it we need a new coffee for disastercoffee.com.
[00:01:06] Um, are you ready to walk the path back to stability? I've been thinking about this, youing at the altar of the divine
[00:01:26] has been washed away fundamentally you know. The founding principles of the
[00:01:32] United States and the glory of what it means to be American and strong and
[00:01:36] rebellious and powerful and capable and responsible that also seems to be
[00:01:43] washing away in many parts of the nation and the world, giving way to crime,
[00:01:49] giving way to weakness, giving way to what it is we're living in right now. And I just want
[00:01:57] you to understand, your path back to stability is not a harvest-right freeze-drive. Your path
[00:02:02] back to stability is a rigorous routine and a lifestyle
[00:02:06] built around self-reliance and independence. And I want you to know that going into it.
[00:02:13] I want you to understand that going into it. What I also want you to understand is
[00:02:32] is. There is no greater level of fulfillment available to you. You know, through God, through friendship, real friendship, through striving to do... well, striving to be uncommon right now, right?
[00:02:45] That's what we're looking to do, right?
[00:02:46] We're looking at the common way.
[00:02:49] The common way is the way that's not working, right?
[00:02:52] The way that we all do business right now, day to day life, for the vast majority of
[00:02:57] people, is not working.
[00:02:59] How do you know?
[00:03:00] How do you know it's not working?
[00:03:01] I mean, just look at prescription drugs.
[00:03:04] Just look at depression. Just look at pills that people are taking.
[00:03:08] You see, what I work, the way that I work is at a double window.
[00:03:14] And I watch chickens dig around the need. I watch squirrels chase each other up and down trees.
[00:03:20] And I'm not in the middle of nowhere. I'm just, you know, in a suburban backyard, looking into a suburban backyard that's been outfitted for the life that I'm talking about.
[00:03:33] And it's been outfitted in a way that anybody can outfit their backyard with a little, maybe a little money saving and a little thought.
[00:03:42] But it's nothing amazing nothing groundbreaking going on right now the Sun is hitting the canes of my black Hawk
[00:03:52] raspberries which are not yet coming to life but the canes are red they're a
[00:03:58] really cool red color and the Sun is hitting the canes and next to them is
[00:04:03] hitting the solar panels and next to that is the chicken coop
[00:04:07] And those three things right there man if I could give that to a bunch of people
[00:04:13] That could change the way a lot of people look at life if they had a nice big
[00:04:21] Thicket of raspberries that came back every year that their kids could be excited for.
[00:04:25] They had sun pouring into solar panels to give them at least a little bit of a feeling
[00:04:32] that they could be prepared in a disaster or even to cut their power bill.
[00:04:36] And if they could go out to a chicken coop and gather up the eggs and bring them in and
[00:04:40] eat them in the morning or eat them the next morning and start their day with
[00:04:47] tremendous nutrition like nothing else. None of these things are hard. The Black Hawk
[00:04:54] Raspberry I planted ten years ago just stuck it in the dirt. The solar panels cost money
[00:05:01] but they're not hard to install. The chickens are easy, as long as you have feed and so on.
[00:05:10] But the fulfillment, now, that's something.
[00:05:14] The understanding that you're on the right path, and most importantly, for those of you
[00:05:20] who are suffering from maybe depressive states and depressive feelings, many are in the march
[00:05:24] because we're just surviving winter and winter is hell. who are suffering from maybe depressive states and depressive feelings, many are in a march
[00:05:25] because we're just surviving winter and winter is hell.
[00:05:29] Even when it's not that bad, I don't care what you say.
[00:05:32] You know, winter sucks.
[00:05:35] It really sucks and I'm so glad it's over.
[00:05:37] And all I have to do is get through today
[00:05:39] because the rest of the week's gonna be gorgeous in Virginia.
[00:05:47] You wanna start your day with a win. You want to start your day winning. That's so pivotal. I remember as a young man starting my day
[00:05:55] losing, starting my day late, starting my day rushing, starting my day forgetting
[00:06:00] things, starting my... And you just start your whole day off with this collapse. Oh, I forgot to do this last night cuz I stayed up too late and didn't
[00:06:08] focus on what I need to focus on oh I didn't wake up early enough so now I did
[00:06:11] this and I forgot that and I'm rushing out the door and this is this is going
[00:06:15] wrong and that is going wrong and and it might be 12 o'clock in the afternoon
[00:06:18] before you get a good solid win under your belt start Start your day with a win, PBN family. Okay? Start your day
[00:06:28] with a win. Alright, let's get into One Threat, One Solution, shall we? Let's do it. the just how much there is to talk about. Listen to Dave Jones last night. He did a master class for you guys last night. I mean really, just an amazing, an
[00:07:09] amazing breakdown of the situation around the world, the things that should be done,
[00:07:15] could be done, and you know all of the following, right? The reality is, the
[00:07:23] reason this shows so easy to do and One threat one solution so easy to do is because there's a problem all the time
[00:07:30] And I don't know how different that is compared to
[00:07:33] History, you know what I mean?
[00:07:36] But it is clear that things are seem to be reaching a point of
[00:07:40] I don't know
[00:07:42] What I want to talk about is the one threat today is overwhelm.
[00:07:46] It's not a specific story, it's not a specific tale, it's not a gray man briefing topic.
[00:07:51] I want to talk about the sheer overwhelming capacity of the amount of things out there
[00:07:58] and the effect that it can have, right?
[00:08:01] The sort of like smothering effect it can have and the solution for
[00:08:08] that I know I'm saying this all the time but you have I when you hear me really
[00:08:16] hitting a topic over and over again the reason I'm hitting it most of the time
[00:08:21] is because I'm doing it and it's working really well and
[00:08:27] Therefore I want you to do it
[00:08:36] When the stage is set for massive overwhelm and you're suffering it
[00:08:42] Which we all are whether we believe it or not. Oh, I don't even look at my phone. Oh, I don't even watch TV. Shut up
[00:08:45] You know what that was going on in the world. You wouldn't be here listening if you didn't.
[00:08:48] If you were just happy and blissful all the time
[00:08:52] in your life, you wouldn't be listening to PBN, right?
[00:08:55] You know you need to make preparations.
[00:08:58] And there's nothing wrong with that.
[00:09:00] I really do think that this is,
[00:09:02] where you're at, if you're really hardcore into prepping and you're putting food up and training
[00:09:07] Skills and doing all those things. I think that's the baseline for humanity. I think that's where you need to be
[00:09:15] But to deal with the smothering effect of what's happening all over the world really stemming largely from the lack of leadership in the United States
[00:09:25] to deal with that,
[00:09:30] I really think you have to go to routine.
[00:09:33] I really think you have to get to a routine that you can lean into and lean on.
[00:09:38] And this is not the, I'm not talking about PBN routines now.
[00:09:42] You know, I'm not talking about become a member and join up today and save. the of humanity. It's more of a waking up early, fasting, eating an incredibly
[00:10:10] nutritious breakfast, getting outside in the sun, having people that you talk to
[00:10:19] each and every day, not isolating and staying hidden from the world. Physical fitness.
[00:10:28] Physical fitness.
[00:10:30] That doesn't mean you have to do a thousand pull-ups in ten minutes.
[00:10:35] What I mean is get your heart rate up.
[00:10:38] Go walk.
[00:10:40] If you're fit already Good on you keep it up
[00:10:46] If you're struggling with this you have to get active and you have to be intentional about it write it down
[00:10:54] This is why the routine exists from the fitness level because then it's written down if you don't write down
[00:11:01] The fitness that you're committing to the exercises that you're committing to, the exercises that you're
[00:11:05] committing to, you will never do them properly. If you go outside and say I'm
[00:11:10] gonna go run and you tell yourself I'm gonna run five miles, well maybe you will
[00:11:15] sometimes and then sometimes you won't. Sometimes you'll say you know what I'm
[00:11:19] tired it's three miles I got a cramp I'm going in but if you write it down or or whatever make
[00:11:27] commitments to yourself PPN family commit to to to intermittent fasting I'm
[00:11:34] telling you it develops so much more than just I look good in the mirror it's way
[00:11:39] more than that intermittent fasting is willpower building
[00:11:51] Eat a massive and powerful breakfast man. I know it's hard when you're working
[00:11:58] You can't you don't have the luxury like a writer like myself to just walk out there and stand in front of the stove and cook up Five eggs and drink coffee while you do it
[00:12:03] Figure it out, You know, figure it out. Exercise, sunlight,
[00:12:11] woods, fasting with that cell phone. Get that phone away from you. Put that phone
[00:12:18] down. Lose that phone for hours at a time. I'm telling you. I do believe that there is... I do
[00:12:29] believe that the concentration of the cell signal near your body all the time
[00:12:34] is doing something negative. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's not cancerous,
[00:12:40] maybe it's whatever. I do believe. And if you don't believe me, just go put your
[00:12:46] phone on airplane mode or turn it off and go hang in the woods for 24 hours. Sun up to
[00:12:53] sundown. You don't even have to stay the night. By the time the end of the day comes, especially
[00:12:59] if you're like walking or doing purposeful things, you feel way better. So my one threat, one solution is yet there is an overwhelm of man-made news and terror
[00:13:11] out there in the world.
[00:13:14] And then there is the world.
[00:13:18] And then there is the world and the way of the human, which is movement on two legs, which is eating real food, which is getting
[00:13:29] out in the sun, which is getting out into the world.
[00:13:33] Do you know what the world is?
[00:13:36] See some people are so far removed and so urbanized that they don't even know what the world
[00:13:41] is.
[00:13:42] I saw a meme the other day that I thought was perfect.
[00:13:49] It was a cow eating grass. And the meme said,
[00:13:50] they think that this is destroying the planet.
[00:13:55] And then underneath that it said, this is the planet.
[00:14:00] And it hits the nail on the head.
[00:14:02] Guess what?
[00:14:03] You are the planet as well.
[00:14:08] Wrap your head around that, PeeBee and family.
[00:14:10] You are this planet.
[00:14:11] You are of this world.
[00:14:12] You are this world.
[00:14:16] Now let's get into the SHTF, chef.
[00:14:20] Now that is a delicious cut of Long Pork.
[00:14:37] I haven't shared this with Andrew from the Matter of Facts podcast, but I need to because he was really the first person to cement the Long Pork idea in my head, which we are not cannibals here at PBN.
[00:14:47] Well, I'm not. We got a lot of hosts. I can't speak for all of them. I thought it
[00:14:57] would be a fun intro to SHTF, Chef. What I want to talk about today, because you
[00:15:02] have six days to prepare, what I want to talk about today is St. Patrick's Day.
[00:15:07] Because my grandfather was a leprechaun. He really was. You know, he was a leprechaun in the real sense.
[00:15:18] In other words, he was a short little mean guy who fought in the Pacific in World War II, who liked to drink and liked to fight.
[00:15:29] You know? That was he.
[00:15:34] And you know, it was people like him who made this nation, people with that sort of makeup.
[00:15:40] And it was people like him who won wars for this nation, you know, it takes a certain type
[00:15:47] To do the things that he did
[00:15:50] I'm not calling him some great man or anything like that
[00:15:53] He he had his struggles, but he gave me my Irish heritage and you know
[00:15:57] It is what it is St. Patrick's Day is a day that I celebrate. It's a day to celebrate Christianity
[00:16:03] It's a day to celebrate, you know, what what might you up or might not. But what has definitely made up a large
[00:16:10] portion of this nation in one degree or another. You know what I mean? The Irish people are
[00:16:16] a thing. They have done some really amazing things here in this country. And I mean people,
[00:16:22] you know, before Conor McGregor
[00:16:34] And I really enjoy the day I really do I enjoy it it's one of the it's actually the only day of the year that I drink Guinness
[00:16:38] It's one of the only days of the year that I drink beer at all
[00:16:43] And what I like to have is I like to have a good corned beef brisket. I like a good corned beef brisket. I like it cooked with cabbage.
[00:16:50] If I don't have cabbage, sometimes I'll cook
[00:16:53] up some kale and have it with kale. Slice potatoes. You usually quartered potatoes
[00:17:00] actually is what I like.
[00:17:01] But you know I have a lot of great and delicious ground
[00:17:07] beef so maybe a shepherd's pie on Saturday. Have you ever had a shepherd's pie? A shepherd's
[00:17:12] pie can be done really well or really terribly. The best shepherd's pie you can make is the
[00:17:17] shepherd's pie that you make. And largely, you know, it's a beef stew or a ground beef stew that is
[00:17:27] topped with a
[00:17:28] Mashed potato and baked, you know the stew itself is fully cooked to completion
[00:17:33] Then it's topped with mashed potato and baked in the oven now. I'll give you a little trick
[00:17:39] We used to make something called
[00:17:44] Palms they Deliciousness.
[00:17:47] I can't remember what it was called.
[00:17:49] But we used to make a delicious baked potato,
[00:17:52] or mashed potato rather.
[00:17:54] Duchess Potato.
[00:17:57] Duchess.
[00:17:59] That's what it is.
[00:18:00] If you want to look up a serious recipe,
[00:18:03] you may want to...
[00:18:04] I don't know ratios off the top of my head, but we use cream and egg yolk.
[00:18:09] And then we would bake it.
[00:18:10] We pipe it out into a nice little shape and bake it.
[00:18:13] And the egg yolk makes the potatoes rich, and it also makes them hold their shape and
[00:18:17] brown a little bit.
[00:18:18] It's almost like what you would put in a twice baked potato if you've ever made those. This is the perfect topping for your delicious
[00:18:28] shepherd's pie. Okay, so have at it man salmon. A delicious salmon, a smoked salmon I always kind
[00:18:38] of attribute to a nice, I know it's more of a Jewish thing, the gravlocks, but I always attribute salmon.
[00:18:45] Obviously any potato, those kinds of things really go the way of the Irish celebration.
[00:18:53] For me it will be corned beef brisket, it will be just, you know, cabbage cooked in the same water
[00:19:03] as the brisket. I could have just that and be as
[00:19:06] happy as possible I'll tell you what really makes it those when you take a
[00:19:10] good grainy mustard and have that on your plate for dipping your brisket in or
[00:19:19] your potatoes in or something along those lines. Lamb's very popular too.
[00:19:25] Lamb is a very popular one.
[00:19:28] We talked about leg of lamb not long ago.
[00:19:32] But also, you know, the loin.
[00:19:35] The rack of lamb can be great.
[00:19:37] Though it's done in Easter, it can also
[00:19:38] be great for St. Patrick's Day.
[00:19:43] I think that's it, folks.
[00:19:44] Hey, listen. There's one problem with podcasting
[00:19:49] and that problem is music. You know it's hard to find music that's copyright free,
[00:19:56] that people want you to be able to use. You can't really listen to songs that you like
[00:20:01] because of all that kind of, you know, you don't have the rights to listen to that kind of, the
[00:20:12] the struggle with podcasting for me on the very musically inclined person I like to listen to music of always love to make music
[00:20:23] the struggle for me has always been
[00:20:27] we need more music
[00:20:29] well
[00:20:32] like so many problems in life PBN family sometimes you just have to solve things on your own you know what I mean
[00:20:38] so for words today we're gonna ring that I'm working on many months away from publication. October, November,
[00:20:49] publication date. I'm going to read you from it because it's coming along quickly. It's
[00:20:54] called Let Your Heart Be Light and it's not a sequel to the Christmas hook. It's just a
[00:21:02] new Christmas book. It's all. It's just totally out of the
[00:21:05] prepping world, totally out of everything. It's just, you know, I don't know. You guys have to
[00:21:11] understand. For a man like me, boredom went extinct a very long time ago. All right? So let's read
[00:21:19] from Let Your Heart Be Light with a little PBN Jazz Jam created by yours truly.
[00:21:32] Dobernard Williams claimed that if a June night could talk, it would boast that it invented
[00:21:38] romance.
[00:21:39] Let me adjust the volume a little bit here.
[00:21:45] When the world suspends its compulsive tidal wave of pleasure, its power, madness...
[00:21:50] Oh no.
[00:21:52] I always thought that there was no time more romantic than those days leading up to Christmas.
[00:21:58] When the world suspends its compulsive tidal wave of self-pleasure, its power madness wraps homes in lights, gathers
[00:22:06] with loved ones, and purchases gifts for others.
[00:22:12] You might think I'm dusting the whole season in a bit of naive confectioner sugar.
[00:22:17] To that I would say live a little.
[00:22:19] There is a dollop of evil atop everything we do.
[00:22:23] It's the yin and yang.
[00:22:25] What a shame it would be not to indulge in the layers of twinkle and warmth, sprinkle
[00:22:30] and song and tinsel of the season for only a dollop of greed and evil.
[00:22:37] This is the story that centers around two things that our world needs more than ever.
[00:22:42] I'm talking about love and Christmas. Voila, PBN family. You've been primed
[00:22:50] for the next Christmas story from the Commander himself. That's about it for me folks. I do
