Run For Your Life

[00:00:08] We are your lizard overlords. Stop listening to these preppers. Eat your crickets. Fight in the streets. Own nothing. And love it.

[00:00:31] Run for your lives, PBN family. Run for your lives. The April routine. The April prepping and fitness and health and so on routine. The annual collection of routines will be titled Run For Your Life. And it's exactly what I'm going to task you with for the month of April.

[00:00:58] Running. Running. Many of you probably going, oh God. And look, you know, it's like anything else. It's all about reps, PBN family. All of life is reps. Please understand. You know, whenever you're like suffering something, and we suffer everything this day and age, by the way. Oh, do we suffer. Nobody suffered the way that we suffer. And you know why that is? Seriously, like wrap your head around this.

[00:01:27] No generation has suffered like, or I should say no generation has suffered the way that we suffer. And why is that? That is because, and I'm stealing this from Sad Guru, but we suffer our success. All of us are guilty of suffering our success. We suffer our success. Literally.

[00:01:49] It's one thing to be born into the, you know, 1780s. And to live in a dirt floor cabin in, you know, North Carolina. You know what I mean? And like, you're a farmer. Your daddy was a farmer. You know, the whole thing, right? Generations. You're scraping by. You know, you're worried about the kids getting killed off by disease. The wife dying and childbirth. Whatever the situation is, right?

[00:02:18] Really scraping a living, having next to nothing. Sort of like the people in North Carolina and Western North Carolina nowadays. It's one thing to suffer that way. Kids die when they're young. You know, these kind of problems. It's an entirely different level and type of suffering that we experience. Because we buy a big house, right? We buy a big house for a lot of money. We suffer the mortgage.

[00:02:45] We suffer the repairs. We suffer the upkeep. We suffer the pests. We suffer the whatever it is, right? Oh, the wife wants to paint again. Oh, the wife wants to put the or the, you know, we want to modify this. We want to do an expansion. We want to take out equity. We want to and we suffer it all. You know, you have kids. Oh my God, I can't sleep. I just had a baby. Yeah, no shit.

[00:03:09] You know, and we suffer these things. Hobbies. The craziest one for me is hobbies. You know, to suffer a hobby is hilarious. And I'm just as guilty. You know what I mean? I do it too. You suffer everything. Everything that is tied to your success, you suffer it. Fitness, the whole thing. Running. Running is the same. Meditation. Suffer through a meditation this morning. It's all, you know, it's just a funny thing.

[00:03:37] But you'll run for your life in April. And it's good for you. Actually, running is great for a number of things. And it's not just, you know, whatever. Losing weight. Getting in shape. You know, it's true. All that stuff works. You know, the endurance aspects of it. They're valuable. They work. You know, I wouldn't do it if it didn't work. I wouldn't do it just for fun. I run more for the anti-stress. You know what I mean? That kind of thing.

[00:04:04] The meditative quality. The disappearing into another place quality of running. Because it's monotonous, you know. So your mind goes places. I used to run every Wednesday before my show. When I used to do a night show on Wednesdays. Because if you run without headphones, then you wind up thinking about all kinds of cool stuff. If you just put, like, take yourself out of the monotonous life that you live.

[00:04:33] Where you're distracted by your phone and your job and your kids and everything. The things that you do all the time. And put yourself in the woods or on a running trail with not a lot of distraction. No phone. You'll be amazed at what ideas pop up in your head. Just out of nowhere. Just bloom. Boom. It happens to me every time. So you'll run for your life. What I'm going to give you in April are some resources. So rather than having a selection of exercises to choose from,

[00:05:03] you'll have a daily run. You can choose whether or not you want to do that run each day. But I'll be running in the morning with you. And I'm going to do my run early. That's what I'm going to do. So I haven't figured out how I'm going to sneak out of the house so the dogs don't wake up the whole family yet. But I'm going to do my run early somehow. I think it might have to be a walk and then a run. Wake up, walk, dogs, then run.

[00:05:30] But what I'm going to give you in this routine is links to a lot of the things that I listen to when I run. And it's going to be exclusively audio drama driven. Okay? Like there's a bunch of really good audio stories out there that you can listen to. Of course I'm going to link to the Changing Earth podcast. Or Changing Earth audio drama, right? For those of you who have not listened to that. Because that could take your whole month. You get into that story, that could take it. But I'm going to show you some of the other stuff that I listen to and I enjoy.

[00:06:01] Because I really do think that audio books, audio dramas in particular are a good way to not only like run and enjoy the run. But also kind of they hype me up a little bit. Like if they're good. You know, like if you're going through a really good story. And you know, you get back to the house and it's at a pivotal moment. It's like, ooh, okay. Well, we'll wait till next time, till next run. And you'll be hype about it. You will. So, but yeah, it's key, man.

[00:06:31] It's key. It's good cardiovascular work. It works out your calves. It keeps your balance on. I mean, it's, if you can run in the woods, it's unparalleled. And it's easy. It's simple. It's free. You know, we're not going to talk about distance. We're going to, it's not going to be a distance thing. It's not going to be wake up. You got to wake up and run five miles every day in April. You know, so run for your life. There'll be other things in that routine as well. But that's what you'll get in April, folks.

[00:07:00] You know, it's a beautiful day. It's turned into a wonderful day. It's about lunchtime here. No video podcast today. Just rocking. I'm creating a really cool project right now on throwaway items for a client. It's really cool. Yesterday, out of nowhere, I just designed a really cool foraging design.

[00:07:26] Just a really cool foraging kind of logo that I slapped on t-shirts and stickers and mugs and a notebook. If you're feeling that sort of hype energy around foraging like I am this time of the year, like I always am this time of the year, it might be something you want. I'll put a link to it in the description down below.

[00:07:47] If you don't see the product, if the product description doesn't link to the product that you want, just scroll down on the product page and it'll show you where you get the t-shirts or if you want the mug. Look, I think I might get the mug. The mug is really nice. And yeah, so that's the deal with that. What else? What else, PBN? I don't want to talk about. I do want to talk about the news, actually, but not the news that you think. Well, there's a couple things that...

[00:08:12] See, sometimes I assume you know things you might not know, like the AMRAP that went into the water in Lithuania and killed four of our U.S. soldiers on a training mission. This sounds really weird to me. This came over the wire. Yesterday, maybe, I don't know, midday, something like that. Latter part of the day. I think Dave Jones put it up first or maybe Ben from PPH. I can't remember. But it hits the thing. Hits the signal chat.

[00:08:41] I wonder if Goldberg's in our signal chat. Goldberg, you in here? And you know, it was very close to the border of Belarus and it had us all sort of like, what, whoa? What, whoa? What does this mean? I love how the U.S. and even Russian mouthpieces are saying that America's ready to side with Russia and stand against Europe. I love this concept. This is hilarious to me. I was listening to, I don't know why I listen to this guy.

[00:09:11] I listen to Peter Zion and he is just, he's broken now. Like, I don't mind the guy. He's always borderline liberal. You know what I mean? So you have that in the back of your head. It doesn't deter me. But you always have it in the back of your head. He's like borderline liberal. Okay, fine. But he knows his stuff on certain things. Or at least he sounds like he does. But he's suffering from moderate to severe Trump derangement syndrome. And it's really messing with him.

[00:09:40] It's messing with everything that he does. He was one of the voices that I've heard in recent days talk about Europe and the United States, like, opposing one another. And I just, it's amazing to me.

[00:09:55] What's really amazing to me in this Trump era is watching how many people and how many nations just have very, like, small and reasonable responsibilities that have been foisted upon them by Donald Trump. And instead of, you know, like saying, oh, you know what? We do need to build our military up. Oh, you know what? We shouldn't be defenseless while we're being taken over by radical Islam.

[00:10:25] Oh, you know what? We probably should also consider doing a little better of a job with these tariffs. Like, it is kind of unfair that we pay 2.5% tariff and we charge the United States 10% tariff on vehicles. Instead, Donald Trump says, let's even the scorecard a little bit here.

[00:10:55] Let's you guys have a military presence too. Because here's the darkest thing about the military presence that I never thought about until recently. When NATO says we'll provide very little military support should Russia or China do something, I always used to think of it as money. I used to be like, oh, money. You know, like, come on, guys. Like, the American taxpayers got to flip the bill and all their money goes into NATO and NATO doesn't pay any money.

[00:11:24] And even Donald Trump says it that way, right? Like, you got to pay your fair share. What really hit me hard about a month ago was, well, it's not just money. It's the next generation. It's the sacrifice of the coming generation, right? In other words, it's one thing if you say, yeah, we got to funnel all these billions into military assets should a war break out. Because Europe isn't funneling enough money into their assets, right?

[00:11:54] But what the real story is and what the real tragedy is, it's not just that we're doing three quarters of missiles and they're doing three quarters of missiles. We would also be doing three quarters of boots on the ground. So now we're sending our children over in Legion to die to defend Europe and the Europeans are sending much less of their own people. And what really bothers me about that is they're like, yeah, it's fine.

[00:12:24] You know what I mean? That's okay. And even if they were that way, even if it was that way and they were like, well, maybe the Americans are crazy. They love their guns. They like to come over and shoot people. Even if they were that way, that's one thing. But when a president finally gets some balls and says, hey, you're going to send some of your money and your weapons and your kids to defend your countries. And they go, Donald Trump is standing with Vladimir Putin now and he's against Europe.

[00:12:55] It's so sad. It's such a sad thing to see. Not like weak, pitiful, disgraceful. Right? So America's begun to stand up for itself in the world. And instead of the world embracing it and saying, you know what? Yeah, we should strive to be better. They're saying Donald Trump hates us and he's racist.

[00:13:24] The real story, and you probably haven't heard it yet because it just broke, is what's happening in Amsterdam right now. We have another massive stabbing attack. Mass stabbing in Amsterdam. You know who the culprit is. I don't know. They haven't announced who the culprit is, but everybody knows who's doing the stabbing. We really don't need to rack our brains and figure out, was it a MAGA guy?

[00:13:52] Was it a white supremacist? Was it a Nazi? Who was it? Was it a Jew? It must have been somebody from Israel. Yeah, we all know who it is and they'll come to light here very soon. And then the same weak Europeans who are crying about America trying to do things 50-50 will try to make believe that there's not a problem with radical Islam. And I can tell you right now, the only way that America will ever go to war with Europe is if Europe is no longer Europe.

[00:14:22] So it is totally incumbent on Europe to stay Europe and to, you know, maintain what sovereignty they have. And I don't mean sovereignty from us. I mean sovereignty from the invading forces that are within their nation. It's the reality. What's it all mean to you, PBN family? Well, we're in a moment of great strength for the United States. We're in a moment of buildup.

[00:14:51] We're in a moment of strengthening. And I think you should get in the game. You should ride right alongside. Look, this is a podcast network for doers. I was thinking about this the other day, too. You know, this is a podcast network for people who are committed to doing.

[00:15:07] I would even go as far as to say, like, if you're not committed to doing, you probably could listen to another network or listen to another podcast or spend your time with another content creator like, you know, the Daily Wire or something like that. But this is a podcast network for people who do because it's run by a person who does. It's run by a person who runs. It's run by, right?

[00:15:33] It's run by a person who does stuff daily, day in and day out. Always doing things. Always working on the homestead, working on the preps, working on the self, working on the fitness, working on the family. You know what I mean? Even in hobby life, you know, it's the same thing. Like, we are a network of doers. And it's not just me. I mean, you look at Jordan. You look at Dave Jones. You look at the Patriot Power Hour guys. You look at Carl B. You look at all the hosts. You look at Judson Carroll.

[00:16:03] You look at these guys. The Patriot Power. I mean, the Matter of Facts podcast guys. Everybody's doing. Nobody's sitting around like a ho-hum. So, you know, it is what it is. I do want to mention Lee Metango Survival on my way out the door here.

[00:16:23] They are, you know, they provide, I'd say, the best pre-built survival kits on the market based on what I've been able to see heretofore. If you are well-versed in survival kits and sort of the lackings of most, you can take a look at one of their bags and you'll very quickly understand it.

[00:16:45] Things like real goggles, real usable goggles, real usable gloves, real socks. You see these kinds of things in their kits and you go, oh, this is a person who has been deployed or has been in situations where they've been like, if only I had dot, dot, dot right now, this would be less suck. Right? You have to understand that these kits weren't thrown together by some random person.

[00:17:15] They were put together by a guy who has been in the, what would make this suck less situations in life. Things like keeping dry are a big factor in these kits. You know, and if you've ever, and if you're going to be rushed out of your home, if you're going to reach for a bug out bag or a go bag, or if you're going to, you know, outfit a bug out location or something like that, these bags solve that problem and they do it at a price point and at a quality point that I think is unmatched.

[00:17:44] So, chug out Lima Tango Survival. Look, even if, even if you can't get your hands on something like a Solo bag or the Gray Man bags, which are a little bit of an investment, you know, 300 bucks for two bags, something like that. But, you know, at the end of the day, I mean, what's that three dinners out with the family? They still have amazing little kit. They have the incredible EDC kit.

[00:18:13] They have the amazing fire kits for just 25 bucks. Those fire kits you can get for your, I think they're probably the coolest thing you could buy for your kid. You know what I mean? A little $25 fire kit. Give them all the, all the accoutrement to start fires several different ways. You give it to them and then you say, you know, this weekend I'm going to show you how to use all the stuff in there. You're going to start some, you're going to make some fires. It's exciting. You know what I mean? All right, folks, I'm out of here. I do appreciate you.

[00:18:41] Like I said, don't lose your head over the news. Everything that happens, you can guess it's going to happen, right? I mean, it's kind of funny in that way. If you've listened to us for any duration, you kind of come to understand it all. But all that said, you know, it's still good to be informed, but it's better to be, you know, it's good to be informed. It's good to feel informed, but it's much better to act. It's better to act, right?

[00:19:10] It's better to say, no matter what comes out tomorrow, I'm busy being a doer. I'm busy taking care of things that need to be taken care of. So no matter what the headlines say, we're prepared. All right. I'll talk to you soon, folks. Hello. Welcome to the podcast. Present your vaccine passport. Enter your social credit score.
