[00:00:04] You're listening to PBN. Your path back to stability here.

[00:00:30] Half algorithm half deity what is up PBN family you may not get the reference and that is not my concern welcome in

[00:00:43] FAIL state on later tonight about the 10 minute mark we're gonna have Jason Carley on from FAIL state you'll get to know those guys cool operation over there top notch sort of like super clean super

[00:01:00] chiseled kind of emergency preparedness course structure good experienced instructors that kind of stuff we'll talk about it in a few

[00:01:10] it's he's good dude he's a good dude and I think he's running something that is accessible if the people are ready to access it you know that's always sort of been my thing with prepping in preppers in the common man and his entry way into prepping it's like watching it happen all these years is it's just been like there's a varying degree of

[00:01:38] there's a varying degree of O. C. that has to happen to the average person before they decide you know what I think I think it's time for me to start prepping and now it's more than ever you know it's maximal preparedness you know is happening all over the country and that's good

[00:01:58] it's a beautiful thing again it's a step in the right direction you know here at PBN we do often say always forward we say you know establish a position improve upon a daily that's a Dave Jones adage but societally speaking we probably are due a few steps backward

[00:02:20] we definitely overshot comfort and convenience by quite a bit

[00:02:26] I almost neglected tell you about what I'm looking at right now but I guess I wouldn't be who I am if I kept things from you over at the economic collapse blog dot com

[00:02:43] I wouldn't recommend the economic collapse blog dot com if you're on any medications particularly mental health

[00:02:51] in all honesty Michael Snyder over there's done such an amazing job all these years

[00:02:58] I open it up today to see what was going on and there's an article up there saying that the the sun is doing something that it's not supposed to do and could be big trouble in the months ahead

[00:03:12] to make a long story short folks,

[00:03:16] they were 196 and a half sunspots observed on

[00:03:22] our son

[00:03:25] right since July

[00:03:30] and the average number of sunspots reached in August was 215

[00:03:40] and it's not supposed to be that high

[00:03:42] experts have predicted that August would only see half as many sunspots indicating that the solar maximum is imminent

[00:03:50] it may be more and it may be more active than anticipated possibly bringing intense solar flares and coronal mass ejections

[00:03:59] and the number of sunspots have been increasing in an exponential rate for the past couple months hopefully we get a reprieve here in September because if we don't we could see severe geomagnetic storms like we did in May

[00:04:12] in may yeah that's the one where we saw the Aurora Borealis in Mexico

[00:04:18] right

[00:04:19] and you if you listen to Sarah Hathaway you know that wasn't because that was such a

[00:04:23] I mean it was a big geomagnetic storm but it was also the fact that the Earth's magnetic field is a mess

[00:04:30] at the moment

[00:04:38] Ronald Rabin the owner of double R farms said back in May

[00:04:43] when the G5 extreme solar magnetic levels occurred he was out spraying his cotton field

[00:04:48] when his equipment started acting up

[00:04:51] I didn't know what was wrong with it all I knew

[00:04:54] it was and you could get it straightened up and go for a few minutes and it might go 20 30 minutes and whatever

[00:05:02] minutes from then all of a sudden you'd be going through the field and it might just take a left

[00:05:07] Rabin said the biggest problem with solar flares is preventing his sprayers from being accurate

[00:05:11] his GPS use uses precise alignments for spraying and when knocked off knocked out of its track

[00:05:18] it over sprays crop and kill it

[00:05:22] I guess we got to get Ronald Rabin on the phone and tell him to go to Faradaycontainers.com

[00:05:27] huh

[00:05:28] Ronald Rabin and you farmers out there listening

[00:05:33] we can store I mean I guess you couldn't store sprayers in there maybe you couldn't the off season though

[00:05:37] uh Faradaycontainers.com pushes some amazing stuff out there into the world for this kind of preparedness

[00:05:48] the 5 foot work box the 20 foot EMP proof shipping container the 40 foot EMP proof shipping container these are big investments

[00:05:57] but if I were a farmer uh I'd put some important stuff in one of those big guys right

[00:06:06] interesting times folks you know the deal wouldn't it be funny okay it would not be funny

[00:06:12] I was gonna say wouldn't it be funny if I was muted right now

[00:06:17] haha

[00:06:19] I gotta see if anybody's an element just going on an element

[00:06:23] yeah but the economic labs blog.com is some great stuff

[00:06:26] preparing for a crash uh Warren Buffett has been selling off hundreds of millions of shares

[00:06:31] I really like to look at this one here because this this really hits home for me

[00:06:37] I've told you the great hack already and I want to tell you again

[00:06:42] I was out shopping over the weekend

[00:06:45] I'd taken a long hiatus off of shopping I don't do a lot of shopping okay

[00:06:52] I exclusively shop thrift shops now thrift markets exclusively

[00:06:58] I talked to the members about boots and pants but outside of that

[00:07:03] um it's thrift shops all the way man

[00:07:06] I'm telling you right now that people have so much good stuff

[00:07:10] that they like literally throw it all to the thrift shops

[00:07:15] I mean I got this I never even heard of the brand before it was so nice

[00:07:21] actually if you were on Instagram you saw it I was wearing it today

[00:07:24] it's like a little you know pullover zip up pullover type deal

[00:07:31] it's so nice man it was like six bucks it felt like it never been worn once

[00:07:37] it what's available out there thrift shops nowadays it's a whole another ball game

[00:07:42] you know it's people just spending money on nonsense

[00:07:47] day in and day out and oh my god look at all the nonsense I have accrued

[00:07:51] and then it goes to a thrift shop you know they spent $70 on it

[00:07:56] and you spend seven I'm telling you see the survival skill no one ever talks

[00:08:04] about adaptability right in good times when the economy is like you can be

[00:08:11] well dressed in good times and in bad times you can eat well in good times

[00:08:17] and in bad times you can live well in good times and in bad times so long as

[00:08:20] you're adaptable and having some skills helps to you know having some skills helps

[00:08:25] to the death of the consumer this one's got my attention because this is America

[00:08:37] you know this has been America for a long time about 37% of American adults are in

[00:08:40] households that found it somewhat or very difficult to pay for typical expenses

[00:08:44] between late June and July July according to the U.S. Census Bureau

[00:08:50] according to the same survey consumers are particularly struggling in poor states

[00:08:55] such as Mississippi Alabama West Virginia have the highest percentage of adults

[00:09:01] who were say they're having trouble affording basic needs well it sounds like

[00:09:12] our guest is with us I'm gonna run a quick ad guys and we'll

[00:09:19] are you prepared to be the family doctor in a disaster emergency this is

[00:09:24] the intrepid commander and I'm holding the preppers medical handbook by

[00:09:29] William W. Forge M.D. in this great book you'll learn how to prepare for medical care

[00:09:35] off the grid you'll learn about assessment and stabilization you'll even deal with

[00:09:40] things like bio terrorism response radiation and how to build the off-grid

[00:09:46] medical kit at home look 2020 taught us a lot about the limitations of our

[00:09:52] medical infrastructure in America get the preppers medical handbook today at

[00:09:58] Amazon dot com again that's the preppers medical handbook by William W. Forge

[00:10:04] and get your hands on that preppers medical handbook PBN family that thing

[00:10:09] for those of you don't know the list of like a little hidden jam at PBN family

[00:10:13] dot com I'm trying to push it more and more lately because it's such a great

[00:10:17] resource everything in the preppers medical handbook is everything over the

[00:10:24] counter is available when you go to PBN family dot com go up to the nav bar and

[00:10:32] where it says build your medical cash everything's listed there so if you

[00:10:43] little bit of a favor I don't know what this is probably 20 30 items something like that

[00:10:48] and might be 40 50 items actually

[00:10:51] but the good doctor william Forge was kind enough to pull everything out of the book that's over the counter

[00:10:57] And link to it and give me all the links and he didn't even give me the links in a way that he would make money

[00:11:03] He gave me in a way that I would make money

[00:11:06] Gotta love that doc 4g man, but um

[00:11:10] All right. We've got Jason Carly with us of fail state. I

[00:11:15] Preface the group Jason and I let them know you were gonna be on today in our intro and

[00:11:21] I appreciate you joining us man. How are you this evening?

[00:11:27] Yeah, no problem. No problem. It's uh,

[00:11:32] it's a

[00:11:34] It's a bold

[00:11:36] Mission that you've undertaken my friend. I like it. I like that you've taken sort of the what I said at the intro

[00:11:43] The show is that it's it's as chiseled and as clean and

[00:11:48] As well presented as any bit of preparedness core stuff that I've ever seen

[00:11:54] That's what fail state really when it when I first saw it. That's what it really stuck out to me as

[00:12:34] Yeah, it's very it's it's I don't want to say it's inviting. You know what your website is man. It's comforting

[00:12:42] You know what I mean like you go there and it's kind of like

[00:14:01] Get behind and I believe in the ethos. I believe in admission. I want to be part of this

[00:14:06] And then there's also a lot of brands that I think in my opinion go

[00:14:10] Too far the extreme of just creating fear without offering solutions

[00:14:14] And so we want fail states to be a brand that's somewhere right in the middle of that

[00:14:19] It's as credible as the government site would be

[00:14:23] It's not something that's that's over the top and here to stereo here to offer solutions

[00:14:28] But at the same time it has branding that is cool and you know people people would want to be associated with it

[00:14:36] Yeah, I like it

[00:14:37] I would like to know when you guys were all sitting around if it was a you guys all sitting around kind of situation

[00:14:45] How you settled on the name it's a great name and it and it's sort of

[00:14:50] something that we all get in

[00:14:53] The preparedness community like you say fail state and everybody listening to my show at the very least is like yep

[00:14:59] That's what I'm here for

[00:15:03] You

[00:15:04] Know this from your experience try to name a company. I've tried many several companies over the past decade

[00:15:09] It's like you come up with a perfect name and then you find out the website domain is taken the trademark is taken

[00:15:16] There's always something when you come up with perfect name this one we talked around a lot of different names

[00:15:22] And then we you know one I think one day I texted my business partner

[00:15:25] I said hey, what about fail state and we just thought there's no way that can be available

[00:15:29] And we were able to get the comm we were able to get the trademark if it just stopped me to be we definitely luck that one

[00:15:37] Yeah, it sounds like a video game

[00:15:40] I would I would have expected it like a video game out there named fail state

[00:15:46] You would think so I think there is a there is a movie named fail state an older movie if I'm not mistaken but

[00:15:53] Thankfully that didn't affect us on the trademark. I think self-state is it very this it's not a real word

[00:15:59] But it very it gives a very clear idea of what we mean when we say that and

[00:16:05] It's it's the idea that everything ultimately breaks down. It's a little bit of Murphy's law

[00:16:11] But it's the situations where you find yourself in a crisis where you know the grid goes down and all the supply chain fails

[00:16:18] And you know that's that's one fast day or it could be that you are at the scene of an accident or a violent encounter and

[00:16:26] Law enforcement is not there or first responders EMS is not there right away

[00:16:31] And it's on you to be the solution in that moment

[00:16:35] And so that's really the whole the whole emphasis of fail state

[00:16:38] It's to help responsible citizens to be more ready for these different crisis scenarios could be everyday life

[00:16:45] Could be something that happens when you're out driving with your kids

[00:16:49] Or to be something that that's more widespread like a grid down scenario where we have just found and I have found over the past

[00:16:56] You know eight years or so that I've kind of been into this personally

[00:17:01] There's there's a lot of people who I think are looking for answers out there

[00:17:05] I think there's a lot of people who are concerned and

[00:17:08] They haven't always had the right places to go find that information

[00:17:13] For people like you and myself and probably a lot of your viewers

[00:17:16] You know you can get online and you can you can research you can go take in-person courses

[00:17:22] I felt like I had this huge advantage because I had a handful of friends and some mentors who were

[00:17:29] Military or foreign military who kind of guided me and said hey, here's kind of filtering out

[00:17:34] Here's what you should be paying attention to and learning and here's what maybe isn't so important

[00:17:38] And so that's part of what we were trying to do and if you go look at the courses we have up right now

[00:17:44] It's really finding credible expert instructors

[00:17:47] Who you probably wouldn't ever get the chance to go talk to in person and we're connecting them directly with people?

[00:17:53] Who like I said it could be my mom who's never going to go talk to a former team six guys

[00:17:59] But now she can go take that course and get that information

[00:18:04] Yeah, you're entering into that world that I've been in for a while now which is

[00:18:09] Trying to figure out. Oh, I don't even know if it's a figure out. It's more of like coming to an understanding

[00:18:16] That there is a

[00:18:18] There are variables in every person

[00:18:21] For when they'll decide

[00:18:24] Now I'm gonna take this preparedness stuff seriously

[00:18:28] You know like we saw that way

[00:18:30] Since COVID yeah, exactly that's what I was about to say exactly since COVID a lot of that has changed

[00:18:36] But there's still a lot of hangers on and I still run into people regularly

[00:18:40] I thought I was doing an Instagram live today and there was a guy from Long Island who was like this is the

[00:18:46] This is the moment I start to take preparedness seriously were literally his words and I you know

[00:18:52] It's always interesting to me what what gets people on that path

[00:18:57] You know for me it was having my first child

[00:19:01] Same it was in 2018. We had our first son

[00:19:06] And I read the road by format McCarthy, which I think oh

[00:19:10] best crapper book ever

[00:19:13] And I'm a huge format McCarthy fan of all the Western novels

[00:19:17] But that one just is so haunting and I read that right before we had our first son

[00:19:21] and then we move from Texas to the Pacific Northwest and

[00:19:25] All the sudden I was I'm from Texas

[00:19:28] We don't really have earthquake risks here and tsunami and all that and all of a sudden

[00:19:33] I'm living on an island off the coast of Seattle and I start realizing and researching holy crap

[00:19:38] There's a there is a massive ticking time bomb here at this cascades induction zone

[00:19:43] And which will be the worst natural disaster ever in modern. I mean in the entire American history when that happens

[00:19:51] And so it was kind of a compliment to different events that got me thinking okay, and if something happened

[00:19:59] I'm not ready to sustain my family through it

[00:20:02] Like I truly wasn't and so that kind of set me off on that path before COVID

[00:20:07] Before the riots of 2020 none of that happened yet. So it is interesting

[00:20:12] When I feel like people have that moment of something sparks in them for a lot of people

[00:20:17] I know it was COVID and the supply chain issues for some people with a civil unrest

[00:20:22] Some people still I think some people realize it and then everything goes back to normal

[00:20:27] And they kind of want to think okay, maybe that's not gonna happen again

[00:20:31] And who knows what it will take for those people to be commenced. Well, there's also the element of

[00:20:39] I'm not dealing with that right now, you know, I think that's like the most common

[00:20:44] Daily life is a struggle in itself right people don't have time to think about this

[00:20:48] And that's why I always say it's really crisis readiness or preparedness wherever you want to call it

[00:20:55] It's the form of insurance

[00:20:56] Just because you have house insurance doesn't mean you think your house is going to get totaled tomorrow

[00:21:00] But you have to have it because if something bad does happen

[00:21:03] You can't afford to not have it the same with health insurance car insurance life insurance

[00:21:08] That crisis readiness to me is just another form. I don't think the world's gonna end tomorrow

[00:21:14] Something really bad could happen tomorrow

[00:21:16] I want to make sure if it does happen that my family is gonna be okay as much as I can within my own means and my abilities

[00:21:22] I want to make sure that they will be okay

[00:21:25] Well, there's that too. You know, that's a good point that

[00:21:30] You when you open the Pandora's box to those concerns and you commit

[00:21:34] Right when you when you were sitting there in the Pacific Northwest and you had to commit to this idea that

[00:21:41] If there's an earthquake here, we're gonna drown from the tsunami or worse. You know what I mean

[00:21:48] Once you admit that stuff to yourself

[00:21:50] Then you have to act and you don't know how much that could cost

[00:21:54] You don't know what that could you know what I mean?

[00:21:56] You have no idea what you're getting yourself into most people when they say I'm gonna start prepping tomorrow

[00:22:02] So you guys do a good job

[00:22:04] I think you guys do

[00:22:08] Sorry go ahead

[00:22:10] No, that's that's my hope that's part of you know when I've tried to get people to take it seriously just friends and family members even

[00:22:17] It's very overwhelming for people to know where to start for people like yourself. You've been thinking about this so long

[00:22:24] It's kind of obvious. Okay. I know I need to have water covered food in those stores for at least, you know

[00:22:32] X number of weeks or months security

[00:22:35] You think through all these scenarios because that takes years to really think through that and I'm sure you've spent time and money on stuff

[00:22:43] That you look back on and think that that really was maybe not the best use of

[00:22:47] resources but you figure it out the hard way and

[00:22:50] My hope is with fail state with the initial courses that we have

[00:22:55] It's a guide to help save you all that time and energy for people who truly are just starting out

[00:23:00] It's a great place to start

[00:23:02] Our first course that I would encourage people to take like they're getting into the preparedness is

[00:23:08] Essentially a guide for getting started guide the disaster readiness and it's just talking through hey

[00:23:14] Sure, you're a list of threats that could be on your radar, but it really depends on where you live

[00:23:20] You don't need to be preparing for everything that could possibly happen on the planet

[00:23:24] Let's do a threat assessment and look at hey what for your area

[00:23:27] What are the most realistic things that could go wrong and let's make a plan for that and then you can start to scale that

[00:23:33] I really believe in covering the basics first things that are the most likely and

[00:23:39] Then start looking at things that are unlikely but would have very high consequences if they did happen and

[00:23:44] Plan for that as well. So hopefully with the three courses that are kind of ideas kind of the trilogy

[00:23:51] not to not to make it sound more grand than it is, but there's a course on and

[00:23:57] Basically looking at your threats and figuring out okay and basic

[00:24:01] Preparedness around to the water then that there's a course on

[00:24:04] Securing your grid down home if the grid goes down things or things might get ugly

[00:24:08] So what can you do even for somebody who doesn't want to on the fire or what are steps you can take?

[00:24:14] To secure your home and also to make your home livable without utilities and power and all the things we need

[00:24:19] You know cooking on your stove. What are you going to do with that all that stuff?

[00:24:22] And then there's a third course that's emergency evacuation

[00:24:25] Which personally I think is one of the most overlooked elements of family preparedness

[00:24:31] Because there are many scenarios that can happen from civil unrest to a chemical accident

[00:24:37] You know all they look at that what happened a couple years ago in East Palestine

[00:24:41] Wildfires where you might have to just leave in the middle of the night with your family

[00:24:44] Literally and have minutes to get out so what do you take in with you? Where are you going?

[00:24:49] How are you going to get there? What if the roads are blocked a lot of things to think through that that literally could save your life

[00:24:55] and save your family's life, so

[00:24:58] That's I think a great starting point for people that are trying to figure out how can I just insulate my family from these threats and

[00:25:06] We're not talking about a nuclear war

[00:25:09] We're talking about things that are happening all the time

[00:25:12] And I mean look around the country look around the world these things are happening all the time

[00:25:17] So it's not unrealistic to prepare for them

[00:25:21] and you guys have

[00:25:24] Instructor Dwayne Liptack Jr. US Marine Corps major F-18 pilot

[00:25:31] 112 combat missions in Operation Iraqi Freedom. You've got is he the main instructor for all of these things

[00:25:40] No, he's course has its own instructor Dwayne Liptack Jr.

[00:25:44] He's an awesome individual and patriot so he's with an F-18 pilot

[00:25:50] He also was a plank holder and marine special operations command and did stuff on the ground

[00:25:56] During the war on terror. He ended up he had to eject out of an F-15 that had dual engine failures and

[00:26:03] Had a pretty bad back injury from that he retired

[00:26:06] And he's actually now the executive vice president of Michael the firearms accessory company. Oh

[00:26:12] Very very yes

[00:26:16] He's not on his list human beings

[00:26:19] Yeah, well and that's that's somewhat intentional because as I said the

[00:26:25] Target audience that we're really interested in trying to serve right now

[00:26:29] And I think it will evolve over time and expand are

[00:26:33] People who don't can necessarily consider themselves or want to think of themselves as preppers

[00:26:38] I'm fully fine saying I'm a prepper like I don't think there is a negative stigma to that for me

[00:26:44] But I know I mean even I know hardcore preppers who don't want to say the preppers

[00:26:49] It's just a word that people some people don't have come to this associate with silly nonsense from the history channel show

[00:26:57] but I also know there's a lot of people who there's a lot of people out there who

[00:27:02] maybe don't like them there are interested in guns and I

[00:27:06] You know, I don't feel that way personally. However, I think that you don't necessarily have to own a firearm to

[00:27:12] Be prepared responsible citizen. I think I think if you can you should

[00:27:19] But if you're not comfortable with it or for whatever reason you can't

[00:27:23] You don't need to be in fire up

[00:27:24] So that was intentional that we we don't talk about Magpo and also it's just it's not necessarily

[00:27:31] pertinent to the course and the information

[00:27:34] Of what what joining is teaching in that course, but it is a very cool fact about him and he's a he's an awesome guy

[00:27:40] So that he is the instructor for that god-deared in this

[00:27:44] Course that I would say would be the entry

[00:27:46] Way for people to take that course and really get squared away on all the basics in one place

[00:27:54] Yeah, how do how else do you gather these guys these instructors that do this stuff for you?

[00:28:00] It's a standout feature. You know what I mean? It's not like you're reading

[00:28:06] Right and that's that's a huge part of our value proposition

[00:28:11] It's it's not some random guy in this basement who may or may not know what he's talking about

[00:28:15] Sometimes they do sometimes they don't it's hard for somebody who's not already into this to really bet those people for themselves

[00:28:22] So if you go on failstay.com we have

[00:28:27] Four instructors that are live right now on the site and they are all I mean Dwayne

[00:28:32] We have a retired Marine Corps Colonel

[00:28:34] We have a guy who was seal team six and CIA contractor and then we have medical courses from

[00:28:42] Dark Angel Medical founder

[00:28:45] Carrie Davis who I was a flight medic in the military and also

[00:28:50] the civilian world and he's been teaching trauma response around the country for

[00:28:56] Probably 20 years now and so it's really important to us to have people who are highly credible experts in their fields

[00:29:02] Who are who they're not making stuff up or giving a pain in that stuff that you we want people to be able to trust it and

[00:29:09] Not have to be going on YouTube and watching 20 videos and trying to piece it together

[00:29:14] We want to get people highly credible instructors

[00:29:16] So you watch that course and you don't have to go that in question at later. It was that good information

[00:29:24] Yeah, it's a standout feature of fail state, right? It's uh, I'm trying to think if there's somewhere comparable that

[00:29:32] has so much

[00:29:33] You know without that sort of like fieldcraft survival those guys who run the show are kind of uh

[00:29:40] The majority of them are military. I think

[00:29:43] There's no much over there. They're all

[00:29:46] Very very smart way and I my lovers seems like an awesome guy. I have not met him in person

[00:29:52] I love what they're doing fieldcraft survival the difference where I see in the market and I don't see us as a competitor to fieldcraft survival is that

[00:30:01] They focus heavily and part of their business is on tactical training

[00:30:05] There's already great companies like fieldcraft survival teaching people how to run a gun and do tactical stuff

[00:30:12] And we don't need to be another tactical company

[00:30:16] It's kind of a coincidence in some ways that our first four instructors on the platform are military

[00:30:24] But that's kind of the network that I have and

[00:30:28] I do think that

[00:30:30] You know, the government invests hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars into these individuals to train them and teaching things

[00:30:37] And so if we can share that with the public and obviously things that are not classified

[00:30:42] But the public gets to learn what they have learned

[00:30:46] Through their training. That's a that's a great value add for for our customers

[00:30:51] Yeah, so where are you guys planning on showing up to sort of push the fail state message like do you have a

[00:30:59] Platform you're going to spend most of your time on is there a you know social network you spend time on

[00:31:06] What is the bar they plan to reach this group?

[00:31:11] Yeah, that's a great question and we're we're figuring that out as we go

[00:31:15] We did a soft launch a couple months back and just started doing some initial

[00:31:21] Advertising and marketing testing and as you know with your business

[00:31:25] It's a it's a very difficult space because of all the tech censorship

[00:31:29] And just what you're allowed to say and it's kind of shocking what

[00:31:34] You're not allowed to say when we have nothing power arms related as you know

[00:31:38] That's a huge red flag for any of the major in a meta and google

[00:31:43] But with a lot of the new ad policies you you can't even address a bad scenario

[00:31:50] Or imply that somebody might be at risk unless you're an insurance company for some reason if you're an insurance company

[00:31:56] You can say whatever you want, but you know the reason

[00:32:00] Even even on yes

[00:32:02] Even even on a platform like reddit. We have we have had trouble running test advertisement

[00:32:09] With very I think very safe ad creative and ad copy

[00:32:14] We have had stuff flag, so we are really interested in looking into

[00:32:19] some of the more alternative platforms like rumble for example the place where

[00:32:24] We feel like we have a pretty receptive

[00:32:27] Market just in terms of our ad testing and some of the demographics there and

[00:32:31] And rumble is pretty open to this kind of content. So we're looking at places like that

[00:32:37] To start to roll out as

[00:32:40] In the very near future as I think you know because from the last time we talked recently

[00:32:44] But we have just we're just right now in the process of launching our full site

[00:32:49] So this is very new we have one course up earlier this year when we did that soft launch

[00:32:55] So this is a really exciting time for trail state

[00:32:58] We're just at the point where the courses arrive everything's up on the site

[00:33:02] And we're now going to be able to push forward

[00:33:05] And start to really put that time and energy into the advertising and marketing

[00:33:10] Well, I love what you guys are doing man, and I like that you're keeping it affordable

[00:33:15] You know, it's online. It's affordable. We can't deny the fact that people are freaking shut-ins now

[00:33:23] And with this kind of stuff, you know, you're almost

[00:33:27] It's almost better if you're a shut-in with some of this stuff, you know

[00:33:29] It's maybe not better

[00:33:31] But it just makes it a lot more accessible when you can take an all online course

[00:33:36] That's affordable at your leisure and it's kind of personal

[00:33:40] You know like how I don't want need to sit in a room with a bunch of people and talk about how I'm going to secure my house

[00:33:46] You know, it seems weird

[00:33:48] But uh, I think it really it depends on the subject matter. There's something it's like, you know

[00:33:53] we have a trauma course stop the belief or a set carry teaches on the fail state site

[00:34:00] And I've done in person stop the belief I used to be searching the rescue in Washington state

[00:34:04] So I've had in person training, but I will say

[00:34:07] You would be surprised how effective a good instructor can be at getting you very close to all the way that just their video

[00:34:15] Because we're able to show details. You know, there's close-up shots. There's

[00:34:19] A lot of ways with good video production and really good instructor that you can get pretty close and then go practice

[00:34:25] And don't go put a tourniquet on

[00:34:27] It's not rocket science

[00:34:28] Uh, are there some things that you should do in person? I think everyone should go take a stop the belief course in person

[00:34:35] carry Davis teaches them all over the country

[00:34:38] If you want to go learn small unit tactics or cqv. Yeah, you should go do that in person because

[00:34:44] Watching a video about it and doing that in your bedroom is one thing that going and taking a class with some military guys

[00:34:50] Or you know law enforcement

[00:34:52] It's going to be a very different experience. So

[00:34:54] I think that it really depends on the subject matter but with our with what we're really trying to get out there to people

[00:35:01] I think it absolutely is effective online and like you said, it's convenient. It's affordable

[00:35:06] And you really don't need to leave your home to learn a lot of this stuff

[00:35:10] You just need a credible instructor to know you're getting good information

[00:35:15] No doubt about it, man failstate.com pbn family go and check them out

[00:35:20] Anything else you want to let us know Jason before we head our separate ways

[00:35:55] They want to get people ready just like we do same deal

[00:36:00] So whole whole operation, you know what I mean of brilliant instructors with good information teaching you

[00:36:07] Um, you know, it's my experience and the way that I do research and the way that I do learning at large

[00:36:14] You know, I'm not a one training type of guy

[00:36:17] I'm a I'm a mass absorber

[00:36:20] You know what I mean like if I'm if I'm learning a new thing

[00:36:25] Well, I could talk to you about war hammer

[00:36:30] Because it's my biggest dork hobby right now

[00:36:33] I don't listen to one. I don't I don't like watch one video on how to

[00:36:38] Play warhammer or the warhammer lore over and over and over and over again

[00:36:43] You know what I mean?

[00:36:45] I pull that stuff from everywhere. I find I I'll take

[00:36:50] And I think you should do this with almost anything it just works, you know

[00:36:53] It's like you throw a bunch of information from a bunch of sources at the wall

[00:36:57] See what sticks see what five stick

[00:37:00] 10 stick

[00:37:02] And then dig into those and and and see where the best is and I usually I mean in all honesty like three to five

[00:37:09] Three to five is really my golden

[00:37:11] Number set right I was thinking about three today three

[00:37:16] Something about three that works just perfectly for me

[00:37:19] But about three to five sources is is what I do

[00:37:24] You know on anything when I was first learning about bow hunting. I listened to about three

[00:37:30] Three podcasts about hunting the traditional pardon me the traditional archery podcast

[00:37:36] I listened to I am turkey hunting

[00:37:38] and I listened to

[00:37:41] One other one. I don't remember what it was

[00:37:44] And that's how I roll man, you know and I take that information in from different people and really just

[00:37:51] I don't know there's something about it to me

[00:37:53] You might be the type of person and look the fail state site is set up for for

[00:38:00] Convenience

[00:38:01] Right and and like I said the courses are like between 15 and 50 bucks. So it's pretty good price

[00:38:07] They're comparable to ours

[00:38:09] But for you members don't forget our courses are 100 free man

[00:38:14] If you're a member and you haven't taken our incredible courses for free you're out of your mind

[00:38:18] I just had a brilliant idea

[00:38:22] that will have to go

[00:38:24] On the back burner

[00:38:26] about how to really take

[00:38:28] Take course type learning to a different level

[00:38:32] But that's neither here nor there folks

[00:38:35] What else oh disaster coffee dot com

[00:38:38] Go check it out disaster coffee dot com. Let's see real quick. We'll do a little peek behind the scenes because

[00:38:45] I'm waiting for some approval

[00:38:48] I'm waiting for some approval. I'm supposed to have a podcast up for you from disaster. That's going to go up tomorrow

[00:38:54] No way i'm getting that done today

[00:38:57] It's 9 30 at night. I still have so much stuff to do guys

[00:39:05] I

[00:39:06] Can't get in

[00:39:07] Okay, that's fine. Send me an authentication code

[00:39:13] You see, uh, I've bent the knee

[00:39:16] To pumpkin spice. I know I know I know I know I know

[00:39:21] I'll tell you this tale

[00:39:23] And then we'll call the night. Okay. I've bent the knee to pumpkin spice

[00:39:27] Now we're not doing creamy. We're not doing sugary. We're not doing anything other than coffee

[00:39:33] And the pumpkin spice already, you know

[00:39:37] flavoring the coffee

[00:39:38] number one

[00:39:40] pumpkin spice man

[00:39:42] It's good stuff in terms of like like cinnamon nutmeg all spice good for you

[00:39:48] These are these are good spices for you cinnamon

[00:39:51] My father-in-law before he passed years before he passed. He had an issue with the diabetes

[00:39:57] Like he was pre-diabetic

[00:40:00] And he used cinnamon to regulate his sugar diet and cinnamon

[00:40:06] So we threw our hat in the pumpkin spice ring. Okay, I was feeling really fall really halloween this year

[00:40:12] And I like our seasonal coffees. I really love our seasonal coffees like I love

[00:40:17] When November hits and I can order that first bag of

[00:40:21] the Christmas hook

[00:40:23] The Christmas hook the Christmas hook coffee is there's nothing like it

[00:40:27] The coffee itself is astounding, but what's amazing about the Christmas hook coffee the label design

[00:40:34] Is a label

[00:40:36] It's a gift tag and it has to and from on it

[00:40:39] So you can buy the Christmas hook coffee man

[00:40:42] And put you know to and from give it away

[00:40:46] I don't want to go all crazy with disaster coffee because we we got a great show here. We're relatively on target

[00:40:52] I don't want to go crazy. Um

[00:40:57] We called it the black pumpkin

[00:40:59] Why did we call it the black pumpkin?

[00:41:02] uh

[00:41:04] Let me close all these windows out so I can just talk to you

[00:41:07] We called it the black pumpkin because you know, one of the things that got me through school was dean coons

[00:41:13] There's no doubt about it

[00:41:15] It got me through school

[00:41:17] I don't know that I would have made it without dean

[00:41:20] My mother was a huge dean coons fan. She fed me dean coons books. I don't know why totally inappropriate, but she fed

[00:41:27] She fed them to me maybe because she knew I loved them and she knew I hated school

[00:41:32] um

[00:41:33] But one book I got my hands on it's called strange highways

[00:41:36] And I've talked about strange highways before on the network strange highways was

[00:41:42] My motivation to write darker trails

[00:41:44] It really was it was his collection of sort of shorter stories shorter horror stories

[00:41:52] And one of my favorites, maybe not my favorite, but probably my favorite actually

[00:41:58] When I was younger, I'd read the shortest ones which didn't make much sense to me because I'd read his bigger books

[00:42:03] But for some reason strange highways

[00:42:05] The stories that were long seemed like they weren't going to be as good as a full book because they weren't a full book

[00:42:11] And the ones that were shorter seemed like they pay off with some spooky stuff

[00:42:19] So vividly I remember reading the tale of the black pumpkin

[00:42:23] I remember reading the story the black pumpkin, which is one of the first stories in the book

[00:42:30] I think it's strange highways is the first one and then the black pumpkin is story too

[00:42:35] And I remember reading that story man and

[00:42:39] you know

[00:42:40] It centers all around this

[00:42:43] This creepy old pumpkin carver

[00:42:45] Who tells this cheapskate dad who's there with his family, you know

[00:42:51] How much is the pumpkin the dad says and he says you get what you pay for

[00:42:56] And the guy says like so I can give you whatever I have in my pocket

[00:42:59] And he says you get what you pay for

[00:43:02] And they wind up giving him like I don't remember how much money they wind up giving him

[00:43:05] But it's next to nothing

[00:43:07] And on the ride home, you know, they're making fun of the guy like yeah, we got over on him

[00:43:13] And

[00:43:15] That night the black pumpkin comes to life

[00:43:18] The black pumpkin sitting on the dining room table starts to sprout viney legs and

[00:43:24] Rotting, you know stems and things of that nature and this putrid

[00:43:31] Pumpkin starts to work its way through the household

[00:43:35] And up the steps and into different people's rooms and starts killing off the little boy

[00:43:40] There's one singular character one main little character little guy who

[00:43:44] Did the right thing and told his dad, you know, I told his brother stop making fun of the guy and we should have paid him more

[00:43:50] And that little boy sits in his bed and I could so

[00:43:55] When I was that age man, I was so scared of everything that

[00:44:00] I could I just pictured myself in my bed and this pumpkin sneaking and scolking around the house killing my sister and my dad

[00:44:06] And my mom and then me sitting there waiting for my turn and it was just

[00:44:12] So awesome, you know what I mean? It was it was just an epic story

[00:44:17] and uh

[00:44:18] I don't know

[00:44:20] It look if you're gonna build businesses and you're gonna build a life

[00:44:23] There should be some intersectionality, you know, I mean have a little intersectionality

[00:44:30] Long story short the black pumpkin will be out soon disaster coffee.com
