[00:00:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Come and at ya from the frozen tundra that is east central Alberta, Canada,
[00:00:41] [SPEAKER_05]: streaming live on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Twitch, Rumble and Odyssey.
[00:00:46] [SPEAKER_05]: Welcome back to the workshop where we create community, find freedom, promote
[00:00:50] [SPEAKER_05]: preparedness and share success. I am Toolman Tim. Today is February the 24th
[00:00:59] [SPEAKER_05]: 2024 and this is episode 428 of Workshop Radio. How are all my fellow
[00:01:07] [SPEAKER_05]: delinquents out there? I'm excited for a belated this week in prepping. You will
[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_05]: see a few changes in this show. I have, they'll be surprised as we go along. I
[00:01:18] [SPEAKER_05]: hope you guys enjoy it. Let's open up with a rule to live by. This week we put
[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_05]: it into the old spinning machine and out came rule number 22. This is one I've
[00:01:28] [SPEAKER_05]: lived by for a long time and if you ask my kids, they'll tell you I say it
[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_05]: once in a while as well. And that is a broken clock is right twice a day.
[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Now, what does that mean? Well, you could take that two different ways. But the
[00:01:41] [SPEAKER_05]: first way I like to take it is truth is truth no matter where you find it. So
[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_05]: even if you find it from a completely useless old broken clock or a person
[00:01:51] [SPEAKER_05]: that you would normally say, I have no interest in being interested in
[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_05]: them whatsoever, truth is truth no matter where you find it. Number one
[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_05]: number two, just because it's truth and just because somebody speaking
[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_05]: truth or just because the clock is giving you the right time of the day doesn't
[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_05]: mean you need to give it the time of day. Pardon the dad joke, the rest of the
[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_05]: day. So here's the deal two different ways. Number one, truth is truth no
[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_05]: matter where you find it and number two, just because someone is giving you
[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_05]: the truth doesn't mean the rest of what they have to say is either true
[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_05]: or worthy or worthwhile for that matter. So it is great to have you guys.
[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Thanks for coming in on a kind of belated Saturday evening. We had
[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_05]: basketball tournament with the kids this week and it was a great time.
[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_05]: So with that, I want to show you guys something you know that I believe
[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_05]: in getting 1% better every week. And if you're a content creator,
[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_05]: the best you can do is improve every single week so that what you offer
[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_05]: to your audience in your community improves. So first off, on Thursdays
[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_05]: and typically this is Saturday now, we've got a new outline, a new frame
[00:03:01] [SPEAKER_05]: for the episode. So you'll know this is this week in prepping. It's always
[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_05]: still going to be workshop radio, but the Thursday episode is going to be
[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_05]: this week in prepping going forward. And for those who don't know,
[00:03:12] [SPEAKER_05]: check this out. I'm going to do something new that's going to work
[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_05]: for both radio, the audio podcast because that's getting bigger every
[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_05]: week and the video here. So we've got some stingers or transitions
[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_05]: that will transition us into the bigger segments each week. So with
[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_05]: that, let's go.
[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Dropping the dot on precious metals. All right. So this week we are
[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_05]: going to drop the dime on dollar cost averaging with silver and gold.
[00:03:44] [SPEAKER_05]: And if you don't know what dollar cost averaging is, let me bring
[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_05]: this up right here for you. So I've got an article this week from
[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_05]: Goldline.com. Now, whenever we talk about precious metals, you need to
[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_05]: know this is not a command to invest. It's not a spend money on
[00:04:02] [SPEAKER_05]: something you can't afford. This is a, Hey, I'm into precious
[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_05]: metals. I like to share what I'm into. And if you're into it as
[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_05]: well, you can learn from it or something you might want to
[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_05]: learn down the road. So here we go. What is dollar cost
[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_05]: averaging? Well, here we are. And the dollar cost averaging is a
[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_05]: flexible and ideal for beginners in precious metal investing.
[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_05]: They kind of throw in a whole bunch of like, this is great.
[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_05]: This is good, you know, that sort of thing. But DCA dollar
[00:04:30] [SPEAKER_05]: cost averaging is a flexible investment strategy that allows
[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_05]: you to purchase assets by dividing and spreading your
[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_05]: capital over a specific time. So that's a whole bunch of
[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_05]: fancy words for I don't have a ton of money. So I'm not
[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_05]: going to drop, you know, I'm not going to go and spend half the
[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_05]: kids college fund on precious metals. What I'm going to do is
[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to spend, I'm going to make sure in my budget, I'm
[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_05]: going to look at how much money I can afford each month. And
[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_05]: you know, if I'm properly saving for retirement, if I
[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_05]: have a proper health plan, if I have good food storage and
[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_05]: all the other things, then okay, how much each month can
[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_05]: I absolutely spend on precious metals? And then you
[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_05]: figure that out. So then what it does is it forces you or it
[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_05]: allows you to become budgeted. So for me, my local precious
[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_05]: metals place that order online, they have a $199 minimum
[00:05:25] [SPEAKER_05]: order. Now it's not a minimum order, but it's an order that
[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_05]: if you spend that much, you get free shipping. So each month,
[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_05]: that's what I do. I don't go over that I don't go under
[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_05]: it. I just kind of go right around it whatever however
[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_05]: many ounces of silver it will buy but it doesn't mean
[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_05]: you need to do that. It might be going down to your local coin
[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_05]: shop and buying one ounce of silver or three mercury
[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_05]: dimes or whatever it happens to be. So that's the idea. And
[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_05]: basically what it does, the reason they call it dollar cost
[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_05]: averaging is that you just kind of buy at the exact same
[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_05]: time every month. And it kind of helps level out the dips
[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_05]: as time goes on. Some people try to incorporate sort of
[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_05]: looking at the month, looking at the 30 day moving
[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_05]: average and then buying the dip. Honestly, I have no
[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_05]: patience for that. I'm very comfortable with the traditional
[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_05]: method. Same way mom and dad invest it in mutual funds over
[00:06:19] [SPEAKER_05]: the years. You just have a set amount of money each month
[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_05]: that comes out of your budget that you can easily afford and
[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_05]: you buy that many pieces of metal silver or gold with it.
[00:06:29] [SPEAKER_05]: Now a spin on this and this is what I found last month
[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_05]: when I was sorry last month my Tim you're having a night
[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_05]: tonight. Last week when I was putting together the show prep,
[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_05]: a lot of companies have what they call precious metals
[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_05]: accumulation program. So if you've got some silver or you're
[00:06:46] [SPEAKER_05]: like, you know what? I really want to buy some gold, but I
[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_05]: can't afford gold. I can only put in $20 a month or whatever
[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_05]: it happens to be. Well, companies will do this for
[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_05]: you. You can send in your money each month or they'll
[00:06:56] [SPEAKER_05]: debit your account. And then when you hit whatever your
[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_05]: goal is for gold, they'll send it out to you or when
[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_05]: you hit their kind of benchmark for free shipping, they'll
[00:07:05] [SPEAKER_05]: send it out to you so that you can get the best amount of
[00:07:08] [SPEAKER_05]: value out of your precious metals. I like that. So right
[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_05]: here, gold savings account, they call it let's say gold
[00:07:15] [SPEAKER_05]: sells for 1800 now. So if you don't have 1800 on hand,
[00:07:19] [SPEAKER_05]: consider using a gold savings account. This dollar cost
[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_05]: averaging plan allows investors to save small
[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_05]: amounts over time to purchase assets beyond their
[00:07:28] [SPEAKER_05]: reach. You can invest 300 into your gold savings account
[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_05]: per month and over time you'll own an entire ounce of
[00:07:33] [SPEAKER_05]: gold. Or you can go buy one little grand bar, those
[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_05]: cute little things or whatever it happens to be. But so
[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_05]: this one here, this is what I don't necessarily agree
[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_05]: with this company talks about taking advantage of price
[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_05]: tips. You can do it if you have the time. But for me,
[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_05]: I just really like the idea of buying it on a monthly
[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_05]: basis. And then, you know, if there's highs and lows
[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_05]: in the month, you're going to come out after a year
[00:07:57] [SPEAKER_05]: really even. So what do they say here? Over the last 20
[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_05]: years, gold has delivered an annual average gain of
[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_05]: about 8%. We're going to talk about that a little bit
[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_05]: more because that's not as much as the S&P 500 from
[00:08:10] [SPEAKER_05]: the Dow Jones industrial average. With dollar cost
[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_05]: averaging, you don't need hundreds of thousands of
[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_05]: dollars to start an investment. That's what I
[00:08:18] [SPEAKER_05]: really like about this. It makes precious metals.
[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, if you are someone who's into
[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_05]: preparedness and they're like, you know, I'd really
[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_05]: like to have some silver on hand for a rainy day.
[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_05]: This makes it both attainable and a goal worth
[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_05]: striving for. It doesn't make it feel like it is
[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_05]: just something you can't do. It doesn't shoot you
[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_05]: down the hole, you know? So that's what I like
[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_05]: about this. It makes it so that you can spend
[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_05]: a little bit and start building up because
[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_05]: even a little is better than nothing at all.
[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_05]: Right. So I wanted to share a thought here.
[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to interject some comments once in a while
[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_05]: from the community that I found. This was a YouTube
[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_05]: comment and I wanted to share it because it pertains
[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_05]: to precious metals. I could try. I guess this guy's
[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_05]: name from YouTube is Hi-Fi and he said, all right.
[00:09:10] [SPEAKER_05]: And this is a reflection of the short platform
[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_05]: because you can't put an entire message in a
[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_05]: short video. It makes it tough. So Hi-Fi says,
[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_05]: I promise you if shit hits the fan, no one
[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_05]: will care about gold or silver. You cannot eat
[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_05]: silver, you cannot shoot silver. Silver doesn't grow
[00:09:27] [SPEAKER_05]: when you plant it and silver can't pull a plow.
[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_05]: What will have value if shit hits a fan is bullets,
[00:09:33] [SPEAKER_05]: seeds and work animals. Those are things that
[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_05]: will keep you alive. The idea of silver for
[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_05]: barter only comes into being once economies
[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_05]: settle down and people have surpluses of all
[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_05]: their needs. People who tell you to hoard
[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_05]: silver for shit hits a fan don't understand
[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_05]: economy's post economic collapse.
[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't really disagree with anything that this
[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_05]: person said. They're right. Lots of people
[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_05]: recommend, oh, you know, the Alex Jones, right?
[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_05]: I joke, but you know, chicken little says,
[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_05]: the sky's fallen, go out and spend absolutely
[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_05]: every penny you have on silver. Anybody who
[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_05]: tells you that run for the hills.
[00:10:10] [SPEAKER_05]: Honestly, anybody who tells you to have
[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_05]: more than 5 or 10% of silver or gold is
[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_05]: probably on the line, on the fence.
[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know what you want to call it, but here's the deal.
[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_05]: When I look at silver and gold, for me,
[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_05]: it's about making sure what you're going to
[00:10:29] [SPEAKER_05]: purchase, what I'm going to purchase is going
[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_05]: to fit into our budget. I don't want anyone to
[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_05]: ever think, oh my god, that's so stupid.
[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_05]: And the person's not wrong, you know, silver,
[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_05]: it's not going to shoot things. It's not
[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_05]: going to grow vegetables for you.
[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_05]: It can't pull a plow. All of that is absolutely
[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_05]: true. But you know what you do?
[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_05]: If you're worried that maybe the Canadian or
[00:10:51] [SPEAKER_05]: American dollar isn't always going to be worth
[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_05]: what it's going to be worth, it's called
[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_05]: diversification. It's called, hey, I want to
[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_05]: have some of the money I own in silver or
[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_05]: gold. If you lived in Argentina, you might
[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_05]: want to have some 5 or 10% in US dollars.
[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_05]: It's all about hedging against inflation
[00:11:12] [SPEAKER_05]: and protecting your net worth. That's what I love.
[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Here you go. Tim Riley, what a great quote
[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_05]: from the audience says, heard a great line
[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_05]: from Junius Maltby. I hope I got that name
[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_05]: right here on YouTube. True, you can't eat
[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_05]: silver but without silver, you may not eat.
[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Perfect. That's what I love. And no one is saying
[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_05]: going by silver and gold but don't have
[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_05]: bullets, beans and band-aids because if you
[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_05]: don't have bullets, beans and band-aids,
[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_05]: bullion's not going to help you a whole
[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_05]: hell of a lot now, is it? So that's the
[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_05]: thing. It's all about hedging your bets.
[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_05]: It's about taking care of the things
[00:11:47] [SPEAKER_05]: that are important to you now, the things
[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_05]: that are most likely to happen and then
[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_05]: above and beyond that going after the
[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_05]: things that make sense for your own
[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_05]: personal prepping vision. There, that's it.
[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_05]: That's all I have to say about precious
[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_05]: metals this week. If you guys have any
[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_05]: topics or suggestions for little
[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_05]: caveats that I can deal with in this,
[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_05]: dropping the dime on precious metals,
[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_05]: I'd love to hear it. Kentucky
[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Sustainable says, I'd rather have
[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_05]: durable goods than silver and gold,
[00:12:17] [SPEAKER_05]: building supplies and stuff like that is
[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_05]: a better investment. And I don't
[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_05]: disagree at all and that is actually
[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_05]: an area that I'm working on. I know
[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_05]: you're like Tim, you don't have enough?
[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't. I have a front shed that is
[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_05]: going to become my actual hardware
[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_05]: store this year. It's going to become
[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_05]: a place where I store a ton of stuff
[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_05]: for property management. So yeah, I
[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_05]: don't disagree. Tangible goods also
[00:12:42] [SPEAKER_05]: a great thing. And again, I love
[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_05]: diversification, but for me, I really,
[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_05]: you know, for many years, I'm going to
[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_05]: throw this out before I forget. I never
[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_05]: get into precious metals because
[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_05]: when I was a baby prepper, for some
[00:12:56] [SPEAKER_05]: reason, I only thought gold was worth
[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_05]: investing in. I started digging into
[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_05]: silver and the fact that, you know,
[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_05]: well, if you ever did need to murder
[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_05]: with silver, well, it's a lot easier
[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_05]: to trade, I know it's a silver for
[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_05]: some loaves of bread than to scrape
[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_05]: a little bit of gold off, right?
[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_05]: So there you go. Moving on. So this
[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_05]: week, we have a roving reporter and
[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_05]: that is Ms. Sunshine Prepper Willow
[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_05]: and let's see what she has to say this
[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_05]: week. All right, you guys ready? Hang
[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_05]: in there.
[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Hello and welcome to today's Sunshine
[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Prepper News. I will, the Sunshine
[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Prepper here to spread a bit of
[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_00]: positivity on the unavoidable doom
[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_00]: and gloom. Join me for a quick laugh
[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_00]: today for its mental and physical
[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_00]: benefits before we get into today's
[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_00]: topic. Your body can't tell the
[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_00]: difference between fake and real
[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_00]: laughs, so fake it to get those
[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_00]: benefits. Looking to laugh yoga for
[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_00]: more information on the benefits of
[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_00]: laughter. All right, five seconds.
[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Now that we have better set ourselves
[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_00]: up for success, let's get into today's
[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_00]: topic. Is the U.S. government being
[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_00]: hypocritical about the whole Julian
[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Assange situation? Until recently, I
[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_00]: had no idea who Julian Assange was.
[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_00]: I guess in 2010, I was too busy
[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_00]: getting married and finishing
[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_00]: college to notice the whole WikiLeaks
[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_00]: thing that happened. But I think that
[00:14:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Julian Assange's situation is vital
[00:14:22] [SPEAKER_00]: and pivotal in humanity's collective
[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_00]: struggle for freedom of speech and
[00:14:27] [SPEAKER_00]: freedom of press. So Julian Assange
[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_00]: is a journalist and the founder of
[00:14:32] [SPEAKER_00]: WikiLeaks. That's a non-profit
[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_00]: to help whistleblowers blow the
[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_00]: whistle. WikiLeaks became
[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_00]: prominent in 2010 when it published
[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_00]: a large volume of classified U.S.
[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_00]: military and diplomatic documents
[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_00]: provided by Chelsea Manning, a former
[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_00]: intelligence analyst. Now the leaks
[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_00]: really exposed the United States
[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_00]: committing war crimes in the Middle
[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_00]: East. So from 2012 to 2019, Julian
[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_00]: was granted asylum by the
[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Embassy of Ecuador in the UK. But
[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_00]: in 2019, Ecuador's government with
[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Julian Assange asylum status blaming
[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_00]: WikiLeaks for recent corruption
[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_00]: allegations. He was then arrested
[00:15:07] [SPEAKER_00]: and put into Belmarsh prison.
[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_00]: They sentenced him to 50 months for
[00:15:12] [SPEAKER_00]: jumping bail on something else in
[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_00]: 2012 and then it's been a long fight
[00:15:16] [SPEAKER_00]: against being extradited to the USA
[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_00]: during which time he's been
[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_00]: languishing in prison. In 2021, a
[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_00]: British judge ruled that Assange
[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_00]: can't be extradited to the U.S.
[00:15:27] [SPEAKER_00]: because he's likely to kill himself
[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_00]: if held under the harsh U.S.
[00:15:30] [SPEAKER_00]: prison conditions. Then in 2022,
[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Britain's government ordered the
[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_00]: extradition of Assange to the
[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_00]: U.S., which of course Assange
[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_00]: appealed, which brings us to
[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_00]: today where his legal team has
[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_00]: launched a final bid to stop his
[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_00]: extradition at the High Court. It
[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_00]: seems like his lawyers might
[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_00]: finally be getting somewhere in
[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_00]: making the argument that he can't
[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_00]: have a fair trial in the USA.
[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Julian Assange exposed the nasty
[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_00]: inner workings of the U.S.
[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_00]: war machine and our government
[00:15:56] [SPEAKER_00]: has been out to crucify him
[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_00]: ever since. As far as I can tell,
[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_00]: that's the core of this situation.
[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_00]: But here's the kicker. All the
[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_00]: while are elected representatives
[00:16:06] [SPEAKER_00]: because we don't have leaders.
[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_00]: So all the while our representatives
[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_00]: are demonizing and punishing Assange
[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_00]: while super hypocritically vilifying
[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Putin over the recent death of
[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Alexei Navalny. So Alexei was a Russian
[00:16:22] [SPEAKER_00]: opposition leader, a lawyer, anti-corruption
[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_00]: activist, and a political prisoner.
[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_00]: He and his team published material
[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_00]: about corruption in Russia. So the
[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Russian government put him in prison
[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_00]: until he died. And the United
[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_00]: States government is pretty much
[00:16:38] [SPEAKER_00]: doing the same thing to Assange.
[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_00]: But some of our representatives
[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_00]: want to use Navalny's death as a
[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_00]: moral high horse to lure it over
[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Putin while these
[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_00]: extramitt holes are persecuting
[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Assange for calling out their crap.
[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Players gonna play, haters gonna hate,
[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_00]: warmongers gonna warmonger I guess.
[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_00]: So let's have a quick stress reducing
[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_00]: laugh about our powerlessness
[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_00]: over the corruption fueling global
[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_00]: war machines.
[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Well this one is a watch and pray
[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_00]: situation. My actionable advice if you
[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_00]: choose to accept it is to get some laughs
[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_00]: in. We gotta work hard and play hard.
[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_00]: You gotta do your chores, do your
[00:17:20] [SPEAKER_00]: preps, and then have some fun. So go
[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_00]: pick something that will have you
[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_00]: belly laugh rolling on the floor and
[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_00]: watch it. Whether it's George
[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Carlin or like America's Funniest
[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Home Videos or Biden falling off a
[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_00]: bike, your health improves when you
[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_00]: laugh more. So go get your giggle on.
[00:17:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for tuning in Sunshine Prepar
[00:17:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Out.
[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_05]: That one cracked me up. Biden on a
[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_05]: bike? I mean that was great and
[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah so I hope you guys enjoyed that.
[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_05]: I really enjoy, I challenged Willow
[00:17:47] [SPEAKER_05]: a couple of months ago to come up
[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_05]: with something what she wanted to
[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_05]: figure out a way to monetize her
[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_05]: sunshine and this is her way by
[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_05]: working her way through some of the
[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_05]: less than ideal stories that come
[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_05]: out on the news and hopefully
[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_05]: giving you both solutions and
[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_05]: perhaps a funny little look at the news.
[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_05]: So there you go. All right.
[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_03]: If anyone dies while you are kept in your
[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_03]: format room, move the body to another
[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_03]: room in the hut. The time has come.
[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_05]: For stranger, van fiction. Now this
[00:18:21] [SPEAKER_05]: is what, this is the section, the
[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_05]: segment that started all of this.
[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_05]: This was when Becky and I would first
[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_05]: originally take a look at some of the
[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_05]: odd news stories that are out there
[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_05]: and there's some good ones this week.
[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_05]: I've got, I've saved up some of the,
[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_05]: you know, the cream of the crop for you
[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_05]: guys to take a look at but the first
[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_05]: one I'm sure you have heard about
[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_05]: By Now and that's OpenAI and they
[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_05]: have started a video generator.
[00:18:45] [SPEAKER_05]: First it was chat then it was photo
[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_05]: now it's video. OpenAI's video
[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_05]: generator Sora is breathtaking
[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_05]: yet terrifying. You gotta love the
[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_05]: news headlines. Fear cells right?
[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_05]: We talk about in prepping that folks
[00:19:01] [SPEAKER_05]: quite often come to the idea of being
[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_05]: prepared but with something they're
[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_05]: scared shitless out of and hopefully
[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_05]: we can talk them down off the ledge
[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_05]: and they can look at it as a purpose
[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_05]: in life, not something that scares the
[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_05]: living daylights out of them.
[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_05]: And again all of these new technologies
[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_05]: they have the capacity for both good
[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_05]: and evil. Will some folks use them
[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_05]: for bad? Hell yeah they will.
[00:19:25] [SPEAKER_05]: Can we exploit them and use them for
[00:19:27] [SPEAKER_05]: good? I hope so. Let's take a look.
[00:19:29] [SPEAKER_05]: OpenAI introduced Sora this week. It's
[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_05]: premier text to video generator on
[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_05]: Thursday with beautiful
[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_05]: shockingly realistic videos showcasing
[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_05]: the AI's models capabilities.
[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay perfect we know that much they
[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_05]: put it out there.
[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_05]: It's not available for you or I to
[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_05]: use yet but they're letting some
[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_05]: sounds like content creators and a
[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_05]: few other folks play around with it
[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_05]: they're enjoying it. Here we go
[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_05]: here comes
[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_05]: we're not even one paragraph in which
[00:19:57] [SPEAKER_05]: could spell disaster for the film
[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_05]: industry and our collective deep fake
[00:20:02] [SPEAKER_05]: problem. Yep it could but it's going to
[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_05]: happen either way
[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_05]: so we need to embrace it. Oh the
[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_05]: humanity back when
[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_05]: there used to be an elevator assistant
[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_05]: or an elevator dude
[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_05]: you'd open up the door
[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_05]: you'd go in and he'd push the buttons
[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_05]: for you.
[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Imagine the humanity when they all
[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_05]: lost their jobs I get it right?
[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_05]: It happens this is part of a free
[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_05]: economy where technology comes out
[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_05]: old jobs go away new jobs come in
[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_05]: and it's painful at that time.
[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_05]: All right now as far as this entire
[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_05]: project you guys should take a look
[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_05]: at it it's pretty intriguing.
[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_05]: This vid there's a video here dealing
[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_05]: with
[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_05]: willy mammoths which look pretty cool
[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_05]: the first one I saw if we can find
[00:20:47] [SPEAKER_05]: it here was a movie trailer
[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_05]: right there there's a movie trailer
[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_05]: with a spaceman that has a red knitted
[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_05]: helmet on.
[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_05]: These videos would have taken hours to
[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_05]: produce by a real film crew or
[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_05]: animators actually probably more than
[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_05]: that. Sora will likely be disruptive
[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_05]: to the film industry
[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_05]: in the same way that chat gpt and
[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_05]: AI image generators have shocked the
[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_05]: editorial and design world.
[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_05]: It's a technology that is both
[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_05]: remarkable and yet frightening in
[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_05]: terms of job security for video
[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_05]: content creators. So I look at
[00:21:18] [SPEAKER_05]: this stuff as something that will
[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_05]: benefit folks who create content with
[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_05]: a message and what do I mean by that?
[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean if you're out there
[00:21:27] [SPEAKER_05]: sharing truths about the world whether
[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_05]: it's you know how much
[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_05]: long-term food storage you need or
[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_05]: you know silver and gold that sort of
[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_05]: thing if you're pushing
[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_05]: truths to folks this is going to be
[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_05]: the thing that is going to
[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_05]: speed up the background process.
[00:21:44] [SPEAKER_05]: This is going to level the playing
[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_05]: field
[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_05]: and now anybody out there is going
[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_05]: to be able to have high quality
[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_05]: B roll footage that
[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_05]: they don't have to spend a metric
[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_05]: shit ton for
[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_05]: and it's going to bring the little guy
[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_05]: on pace on par with Hollywood studios
[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_05]: and guess who that scares?
[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_05]: The high paying union
[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Hollywood jobs I hate to say it but
[00:22:08] [SPEAKER_05]: that's where it comes from this
[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_05]: this kind of technology
[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_05]: definitely can level the playing
[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_05]: field will it?
[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm not sure.
[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_05]: All right and if you notice this
[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_05]: is highlighted in green there's a
[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_05]: reason for it.
[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_05]: Open AI says it will build tools
[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_05]: to help detect misleading content
[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_05]: as well as apply existing technologies
[00:22:25] [SPEAKER_05]: that reject harmful text prompts.
[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know if anybody happened to see
[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_05]: this but last week
[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_05]: the Google AI
[00:22:33] [SPEAKER_05]: image generating platform was putting out
[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_05]: non-racially correct images
[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_05]: they were basically making them
[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_05]: woke for lack of a better term
[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_05]: and they had to shut it down because
[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_05]: it wasn't historically accurate
[00:22:47] [SPEAKER_05]: so these are the kind of safeguards
[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_05]: that companies put into things
[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_05]: to protect us from ourselves
[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_05]: these are the little lines that give me
[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_05]: fear that scare me just ever so slightly
[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_05]: because who decides which safeguards
[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_05]: get put into place
[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_05]: who decides which standards
[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_05]: those safeguards are built upon
[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_05]: and who decides
[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_05]: which standards are enforced
[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_05]: against which individuals right
[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_05]: that's what kind of bothers me so
[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_05]: but like I said it's going to level
[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_05]: the playing field for small and large
[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_05]: creators I like that
[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_05]: now look at the copywriters
[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_05]: the death rattle was hollered last year
[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_05]: they said that's it chat gpt
[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_05]: is going to kill the copywriting industry
[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_05]: well you know what it's going to do
[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_05]: it's probably going to kill the folks
[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_05]: who were doing subpar work who were just
[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_05]: you know basically doing SEO based
[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_05]: blog posts that sucks I get it
[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_05]: I it always sucks when
[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_05]: your work your livelihood starts
[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_05]: moving by
[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_05]: but guess what some companies are starting
[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_05]: to pay a premium for human written content
[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_05]: and a lot of the people who
[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_05]: initially lost clients because of jet chat gpt
[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_05]: folks are coming back to them in droves
[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_05]: so this does not mean
[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_05]: that it is the death rattle for video
[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_05]: and content creation
[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_05]: no it's another tool to put into our arsenal
[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_05]: to end up working in our benefit
[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_05]: that's what I love love it all right
[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_05]: the main thing I like about this is the
[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I guess you would call it time saving for content creators so
[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_05]: if you don't follow or if you haven't heard what I use
[00:24:23] [SPEAKER_05]: a lot of my shorts are created via AI
[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_05]: so when I'm done this episode tonight
[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_05]: I will throw this full hour hour and a half
[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_05]: episode into opus.pro opus.pro
[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_05]: and in about 10 minutes they'll send me an email
[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_05]: and they'll have 30 odd shorts ready for me
[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_05]: and I set the parameters so I have you know my color
[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_05]: my theme all of that
[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_05]: and then I can check a little box it says insert b-roll
[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_05]: and I love the b-roll because it breaks up
[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_05]: this talking head nobody wants to see me for
[00:24:54] [SPEAKER_05]: 60 seconds in a row
[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_05]: so right now they've been using
[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_05]: kind of free generic b-roll that they have access to
[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_05]: but in the next couple of weeks
[00:25:04] [SPEAKER_05]: they're getting ready to implement
[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_05]: AI generated b-roll
[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_05]: the sky's the limit
[00:25:08] [SPEAKER_05]: so again what's going to be great about that is
[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_05]: you're not going to have 10,000 creators
[00:25:15] [SPEAKER_05]: pulling from the same pool all the time
[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_05]: you're not going to have AI generated video
[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_05]: that goes specifically with whatever content
[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_05]: you're creating and I love it
[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_05]: so now another thought about this
[00:25:29] [SPEAKER_05]: if you're looking if whether you're working
[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_05]: for someone else or you're a freelancer
[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_05]: I think this kind of story is a good reminder
[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_05]: for all of us to build redundancy
[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_05]: into our entrepreneurial platform
[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_05]: so it's just like us
[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_05]: our big money maker by a mile is daycares
[00:25:48] [SPEAKER_05]: but we also have property management
[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_05]: we have content creation
[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_05]: we have the properties that we own ourselves
[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_05]: so would it hurt if we lost the daycares?
[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_05]: absolutely it would
[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_05]: but it's all about again redundancies
[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_05]: so if everything a year ago
[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_05]: if all you did was write
[00:26:07] [SPEAKER_05]: you know surface level SEO based
[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_05]: or affiliate based blog post for people
[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_05]: you might have been in trouble
[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_05]: but if you'd have branched out
[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_05]: and had three or four different specialties
[00:26:18] [SPEAKER_05]: it might not have been such a big deal
[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_05]: so for me again use this
[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_05]: not as something to be scared of
[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_05]: use it to embrace and say
[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_05]: okay how can I use this to make money
[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_05]: how can I use this to improve what I do
[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_05]: and how can I stay on the leading edge
[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_05]: or the cutting edge of whatever's going on
[00:26:36] [SPEAKER_05]: doesn't have to be scary
[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_05]: just have to embrace it
[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_05]: just have to be a step or two
[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_05]: ahead of the hoarding masses
[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_05]: that's the way I look at it
[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_05]: so let me know what you guys think
[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_05]: because in my opinion
[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm never scared of new technology
[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm just scared of how some folks are going to use it
[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_05]: one let's take a look at the comments
[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_05]: we have here one step closer says
[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_05]: good Hollywood's making mainly garbage these days anyway
[00:27:02] [SPEAKER_05]: and in regards to the
[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_05]: the harmful text prompts being banned
[00:27:08] [SPEAKER_05]: one step closer says so no horror movies then
[00:27:11] [SPEAKER_05]: maybe maybe not who knows
[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know but it's interesting
[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_05]: I enjoy seeing this new technology
[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I love being alive in a time
[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_05]: when stuff that as a little kid
[00:27:23] [SPEAKER_05]: watching the original Star Trek reruns
[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_05]: at supper time in Digby Nova Scotia
[00:27:28] [SPEAKER_05]: I wouldn't even have thought were possible
[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_05]: and now this stuff is just
[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_05]: Wham bam thank you ma'am
[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_05]: coming out as fast as you can absolutely believe it so
[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_05]: all right this next one's kind of a cool story
[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know if you saw it
[00:27:40] [SPEAKER_05]: it's definitely a surface level story from USA today
[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_05]: but Sylvester Stallone hired Navy Seals
[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_05]: to train his daughters
[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_05]: before they moved to New York City
[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_05]: well the first piece of advice I'm going to give to Sly is
[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_05]: maybe your daughter shouldn't move to New York City
[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_05]: but I'm not going to begrudge anyone who wants to go somewhere
[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_05]: number one that's where we're going to start with that okay
[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_05]: but it did get me thinking
[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_05]: because I've been thinking a lot lately about my daughters
[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_05]: the you know the youngest the last of the household
[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_05]: that are going to be moving out in four years
[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_05]: just over four years are going to be graduating high school
[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_05]: and I've read my fair share of fiction
[00:28:17] [SPEAKER_05]: prepper fiction especially for you know
[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_05]: there's two or three storylines that follow
[00:28:22] [SPEAKER_05]: a happens usually be a daughter who's away at college
[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_05]: and the mom and dad have put together
[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_05]: a plan for them to get home of something
[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_05]: ever go sideways hopefully it never does
[00:28:31] [SPEAKER_05]: but this kind of made me think so
[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_05]: let's look into what a rich Hollywood dad would do for his kids
[00:28:37] [SPEAKER_05]: to make sure they were safe in the crazy city
[00:28:40] [SPEAKER_05]: that I would hope my kids wouldn't move to
[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_05]: but I can't promise so
[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Sly Stallone had his daughters go through their own kind of
[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_05]: rocky training the Rambo Star's daughters
[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_05]: revealed in an interview with the New York Post
[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_05]: that their dad hired Navy Seals to train them
[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_05]: before they moved to New York City
[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_05]: because he was worried about them living there
[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_05]: Stallone's daughters said this doesn't sound particularly
[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_05]: out of step with the way Stallone's daughters were raised
[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_05]: they told the Post that since they were young
[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_05]: their dads objected them to military style
[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_05]: to self-defense trainings
[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_05]: and Sophia added that their father would have them
[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_05]: through a rigorous routine every day at 6 a.m.
[00:29:15] [SPEAKER_05]: involving sit-ups push-ups pull-ups
[00:29:17] [SPEAKER_05]: and more so it looks to me like this is a dude who
[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_05]: thinks the world of his daughters
[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_05]: knows the world is a scary place
[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_05]: knows that New York City especially
[00:29:27] [SPEAKER_05]: is probably not the best place in the world for young ladies to move
[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_05]: and he did his absolute damnedest
[00:29:33] [SPEAKER_05]: to make sure that they were prepared
[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_05]: that they could you know if some scary crackhead
[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_05]: or Harry Krishna jumped out
[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_05]: and wanted to put a bracelet on her arm
[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_05]: you know she'll know how to throw him up and over the shoulder
[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_05]: and they said here at the bottom Sophia said
[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_05]: it also helps that mom tracks us
[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_05]: on the find my friends app so they know where we are
[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_05]: we use that with our guys you know when they're adults
[00:29:55] [SPEAKER_05]: they can turn it off if they want to
[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_05]: Becky and I use it with each other as well
[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_05]: so we know we're going to get home and that sort of thing
[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_05]: again it's a technology that can be used for the good
[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_05]: and for the bad but don't just use it
[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_05]: without telling somebody you're using it
[00:30:08] [SPEAKER_05]: that becomes really bad really bad territory
[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_05]: but if you're worried you say hey you know
[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to be worried about you
[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_05]: do you mind if I check find my iPhone once in a while
[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_05]: and see where my daughter is to make sure
[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_05]: she's not in a ditch somewhere
[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_05]: and they say no respect it
[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_05]: but if they say yes that's okay too
[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_05]: but I liked it so this is one of those things
[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_05]: like I said my girls they're going to move away in four years
[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_05]: and this sort of prep starts when your kids are born
[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_05]: because when we have kids I mean that
[00:30:39] [SPEAKER_05]: you've always heard it said that the number one rule
[00:30:41] [SPEAKER_05]: of survival is to stay alive
[00:30:43] [SPEAKER_05]: well there's going to come a point
[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_05]: in our lifetime that we're going to break that rule
[00:30:48] [SPEAKER_05]: and when we do our prepping and survival journey is over
[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_05]: the only way to keep our survival and prepper journey
[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_05]: going beyond our own lifetime is by raising our kids right
[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_05]: and by teaching them how to be prepared
[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_05]: and to deal with a world that may or may not get squirrely at times
[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_05]: so for us it's about making our kids feel empowered
[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_05]: not afraid that's the big one
[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_05]: it's about from day one teaching them how to do simple things
[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Olivia and Grace especially when they were just little
[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_05]: they learned how to do laundry
[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_05]: I think they were seven years old
[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_05]: and they were able to completely do the laundry system
[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_05]: Olivia I taught her how to change your tires
[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_05]: how to check her oil
[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Grace is so self-sufficient
[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_05]: that girl every year we get her tools for Christmas
[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_05]: she gets this big smile on her face
[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_05]: she called me up the other night
[00:31:38] [SPEAKER_05]: and I helped her go through
[00:31:41] [SPEAKER_05]: and troubleshoot her furnace with her headlamp
[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_05]: over face time
[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_05]: she was able to do absolutely everything
[00:31:48] [SPEAKER_05]: she just needed a little bit of advice
[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_05]: so number one right from day one
[00:31:53] [SPEAKER_05]: when our kids are little
[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_05]: teaching them all the skills that we hope they need to know
[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_05]: to live in a world unfortunately
[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_05]: like New York City
[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_05]: or Charlotte talks all the time
[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_05]: about going to London England
[00:32:06] [SPEAKER_05]: that makes me nervous
[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_05]: because there ain't much I can do
[00:32:10] [SPEAKER_05]: if she's across the pond going to university there
[00:32:11] [SPEAKER_05]: but the best I can do is equip her
[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_05]: to be the strongest most independent young lady that I can
[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_05]: so that they can handle a crazy world
[00:32:21] [SPEAKER_05]: when and if we're not here anymore
[00:32:23] [SPEAKER_05]: and I love it
[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_05]: so it's interesting to take a look at
[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_05]: somebody like Sylvester Stallone
[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_05]: who also takes I mean
[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_05]: it's in our nature to take care of our kids
[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_05]: but we may not all be able to afford to hire
[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_05]: you know former Navy SEALs or Green Berets
[00:32:38] [SPEAKER_05]: to take our kids on an urban survival
[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_05]: training session or anything like that
[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_05]: but what we can do is take the time
[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_05]: and teach our kids how to survive in the world that we know
[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_05]: and hopefully so they can adapt to the world
[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_05]: that they are going to move into and inherit
[00:32:55] [SPEAKER_05]: so having a plan for when your kids are moving away
[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_05]: give them the tools, the training
[00:32:59] [SPEAKER_05]: and most importantly the knowledge
[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_05]: that if ever does go sideways
[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_05]: they can come home if something happens
[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_05]: empower them set them up
[00:33:07] [SPEAKER_05]: you know you don't have to go to the
[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_05]: extreme extents of I believe it was the locker
[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_05]: Locker 7 or Locker 9 series that I read
[00:33:15] [SPEAKER_05]: where you know he gave her a secret key
[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_05]: and she had a cool storage locker
[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_05]: with guns and diesel and food
[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean great I would love to do that
[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_05]: I ain't lying maybe a little
[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't anyway
[00:33:26] [SPEAKER_05]: I'd love to do that but for us
[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_05]: for each of us it's all about empowering our children
[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_05]: to hopefully live the preparedness lifestyle
[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_05]: and just you know what
[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_05]: just teaching them the things
[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_05]: they don't have to grow up to call themselves a prepper
[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_05]: they can even joke about mom and dad being
[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_05]: you know the crazy survivalist with the toilet paper cupboard
[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_05]: but when push comes to shove
[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_05]: in times get tough
[00:33:46] [SPEAKER_05]: they can look after themselves
[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_05]: and that's what I love
[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_05]: now next story I got for you guys
[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_05]: this is one I think you're going to appreciate
[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_05]: and this 100% falls
[00:33:55] [SPEAKER_05]: into the category of stranger than fiction
[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_05]: these are the type of stories
[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_05]: that inspired this segment
[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_05]: way back when we first started it
[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_05]: this comes from gizmodo.com
[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_05]: and it is great
[00:34:07] [SPEAKER_05]: before I go any further
[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_05]: Bonnie blue thank you very much
[00:34:10] [SPEAKER_05]: Locker 9 Grace Under Fire by Franklin Horton
[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_05]: had Franklin on the show
[00:34:15] [SPEAKER_05]: him and I are both going to be at the mountain
[00:34:18] [SPEAKER_05]: mountain readiness festival
[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_05]: in Harmony North Carolina in May
[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to get to sit down
[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_05]: and do an in-person interview with him
[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm stoked about that
[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_05]: so yeah there you go
[00:34:28] [SPEAKER_05]: you guys ready for this headline
[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_05]: oh boy 200 foot tall radio tower
[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_05]: mysteriously vanishes
[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_05]: in Alabama
[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_05]: I really thought it was going to say Florida
[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_05]: I know right you're going to make fun of
[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_05]: Florida's again
[00:34:41] [SPEAKER_05]: but here it is
[00:34:43] [SPEAKER_05]: stealing is bad okay
[00:34:45] [SPEAKER_05]: that that was a
[00:34:47] [SPEAKER_05]: South Park reference there
[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_05]: just so you know
[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_05]: the theft took place in Jasper Alabama
[00:34:51] [SPEAKER_05]: were unknown thieves
[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_05]: recently ransacked a local radio station
[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_05]: stealing everything in sight
[00:34:58] [SPEAKER_05]: yep including
[00:34:59] [SPEAKER_05]: a 200 foot stainless steel radio tower
[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_05]: that was cut down and carded off
[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_05]: via unknown means
[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_05]: guess what I'm going to take a guess
[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to pretend like I know what those
[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_05]: means were
[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_05]: and I'm going to bet they involve
[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_05]: strapping them down to the roof of a 1993
[00:35:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Dodge Grand Caravan
[00:35:17] [SPEAKER_05]: or hauling that sucker behind
[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_05]: a pedal bike
[00:35:20] [SPEAKER_05]: one or the other
[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_05]: because either of those seem to be
[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_05]: the transportation
[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_05]: of choice by crackheads
[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_05]: we love crackheads
[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_05]: crackheads strike again don't they
[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_05]: you know what this also happened
[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_05]: to the AM radio station
[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_05]: AVR Annapolis Valley radio
[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_05]: in Digby where I grew up
[00:35:36] [SPEAKER_05]: and it never reopened
[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_05]: because here's the thing
[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_05]: radio stations are a prime target
[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_05]: for near-dwells
[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_05]: because most of them are unmanned at
[00:35:44] [SPEAKER_05]: this point
[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_05]: they just act as a relay point
[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_05]: and so local news outlet WBRC
[00:35:51] [SPEAKER_05]: first reported on the theft
[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_05]: which impacted the local AM station
[00:35:55] [SPEAKER_05]: the station manager Brett Elmore
[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_05]: first learned of the theft
[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_05]: last Friday when a group of
[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_05]: landscapers who were sent to work
[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_05]: the property reported back
[00:36:03] [SPEAKER_05]: that it had been robbed
[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_05]: and the radio tower was missing
[00:36:06] [SPEAKER_05]: here's the sad my sad thought about
[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_05]: this is nobody even knows
[00:36:12] [SPEAKER_05]: nobody even noticed
[00:36:14] [SPEAKER_05]: that the AM radio station was off
[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_05]: the air
[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_05]: it took the landscapers showing up
[00:36:18] [SPEAKER_05]: to do work there
[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_05]: so that probably says more about the
[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_05]: state of AM radio than anything
[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_05]: it just it's sad I love I have a
[00:36:25] [SPEAKER_05]: soft soft spot in my heart
[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_05]: for AM talk radio I always have
[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_05]: but this is a reminder guys to do
[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_05]: due diligence and protecting the
[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_05]: things that are important
[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_05]: things that maybe sit out somewhere
[00:36:39] [SPEAKER_05]: we become blind to them
[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_05]: because they've just always been there
[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_05]: and again it's like our generator
[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_05]: I talk about making generators
[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_05]: during a power outage
[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_05]: a hard target
[00:36:49] [SPEAKER_05]: putting behind a fence
[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_05]: chaining them down
[00:36:51] [SPEAKER_05]: and when it comes down to it
[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_05]: there's going to come times
[00:36:54] [SPEAKER_05]: that crackheads are just going
[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_05]: to crackhead
[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_05]: and they're going to take
[00:36:57] [SPEAKER_05]: even if they're going to take
[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_05]: your running generator
[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_05]: while it's plugged into the host
[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_05]: they're just going to take some
[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_05]: you know lopping pliers
[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_05]: they're going to cut them off
[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_05]: and they're going to haul them away
[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_05]: anyway right
[00:37:06] [SPEAKER_05]: and that's what sucks
[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_05]: so if this isn't a reminder
[00:37:09] [SPEAKER_05]: to have high quality good insurance
[00:37:11] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know what is
[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_05]: and if somebody out there
[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_05]: is listening to this
[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_05]: and they say insurance isn't a prep
[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_05]: I call bullshit because it is
[00:37:19] [SPEAKER_05]: insurance roadside assistance
[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_05]: you know medical plans
[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_05]: that pay for your prescriptions
[00:37:24] [SPEAKER_05]: all of those are the most
[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_05]: practical thing we can have
[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_05]: for prepping
[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_05]: I love it
[00:37:29] [SPEAKER_05]: just recently
[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_05]: I think Becky was at the vet
[00:37:32] [SPEAKER_05]: yesterday or the day before
[00:37:33] [SPEAKER_05]: we have a brand new vet
[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_05]: that's about 15 minutes away
[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_05]: somebody broke their window
[00:37:38] [SPEAKER_05]: went through their front window
[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_05]: grabbed their float
[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_05]: their cash box out of the drawer
[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_05]: and was back out in 15 seconds
[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_05]: and you know what
[00:37:45] [SPEAKER_05]: they had an alarm system
[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_05]: they had
[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_05]: 1080p high definition cameras
[00:37:50] [SPEAKER_05]: they got
[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_05]: fingerprints off of
[00:37:54] [SPEAKER_05]: the cash register
[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_05]: and none of that mattered
[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_05]: because whoever this was
[00:37:58] [SPEAKER_05]: figured the $100 in float cash
[00:38:00] [SPEAKER_05]: was worth it to them
[00:38:01] [SPEAKER_05]: and they're
[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_05]: it's not going to matter
[00:38:03] [SPEAKER_05]: so again
[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_05]: you can have all of the safeguards
[00:38:05] [SPEAKER_05]: in the world
[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_05]: sometimes it's just not going to
[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_05]: matter
[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_05]: so for me
[00:38:10] [SPEAKER_05]: this is a great illustration
[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_05]: of the need to have
[00:38:13] [SPEAKER_05]: insurance
[00:38:13] [SPEAKER_05]: if you can
[00:38:14] [SPEAKER_05]: if you think it's going to
[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_05]: worth it for you
[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_05]: also one other thought
[00:38:17] [SPEAKER_05]: for anything like this
[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_05]: now
[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_05]: this is a really funny
[00:38:21] [SPEAKER_05]: illustration of this
[00:38:22] [SPEAKER_05]: but have pictures or video
[00:38:24] [SPEAKER_05]: of anything that's of import to you
[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_05]: something I did a couple years ago
[00:38:27] [SPEAKER_05]: I need to redo it now
[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_05]: since the business has changed
[00:38:30] [SPEAKER_05]: but take a walk around video
[00:38:32] [SPEAKER_05]: and just film
[00:38:33] [SPEAKER_05]: absolutely everything you own
[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_05]: doesn't necessarily mean
[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_05]: you have to throw it up on
[00:38:37] [SPEAKER_05]: a google drive
[00:38:38] [SPEAKER_05]: or anything like that
[00:38:39] [SPEAKER_05]: but keep it on a usb
[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_05]: in a safe or something
[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_05]: so that if you ever need to
[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_05]: have a fight with your insurance company
[00:38:45] [SPEAKER_05]: you have proof to say
[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_05]: listen
[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_05]: all this stuff was there
[00:38:48] [SPEAKER_05]: so reimburse me
[00:38:50] [SPEAKER_05]: darn it
[00:38:51] [SPEAKER_05]: all right and the last
[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_05]: piece of news story this week
[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_05]: and I couldn't go without
[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_05]: mentioning this
[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_05]: last saturday
[00:38:59] [SPEAKER_05]: sunday evening
[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Becky was on with me
[00:39:01] [SPEAKER_05]: we had a great episode
[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_05]: loved it
[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_05]: we did a
[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_05]: kind of a freestyle toward the end
[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_05]: where we just talked about
[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_05]: different news stories
[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_05]: that folks had brought up
[00:39:07] [SPEAKER_05]: and if you guys haven't heard
[00:39:09] [SPEAKER_05]: about argentina's new president
[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_05]: wow
[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_05]: it is
[00:39:13] [SPEAKER_05]: it's an interesting story
[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_05]: just going to pop back
[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_05]: over to the comments for a second
[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_05]: before we slide on anymore
[00:39:18] [SPEAKER_05]: Byron Robert says
[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_05]: keep that video in two
[00:39:20] [SPEAKER_05]: locations
[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_05]: you are correct brother
[00:39:23] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm again
[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_05]: you know
[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_05]: I learned a ton of what I know
[00:39:26] [SPEAKER_05]: about prepping from a few sources
[00:39:28] [SPEAKER_05]: and one of the dudes was
[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Steven Harris
[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_05]: he used to come on
[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_05]: the survival podcast
[00:39:32] [SPEAKER_05]: all the time
[00:39:34] [SPEAKER_05]: one of his favorite sayings
[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_05]: was security through obscurity
[00:39:37] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm a big fan of that
[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_05]: you know
[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_05]: I take
[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_05]: and I back up
[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_05]: all of my pertinent documents
[00:39:42] [SPEAKER_05]: and then I just put them in some
[00:39:44] [SPEAKER_05]: innocuously named file
[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_05]: on a password protected
[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_05]: folder
[00:39:49] [SPEAKER_05]: on google drive
[00:39:50] [SPEAKER_05]: some people might say
[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_05]: oh Tim that's not safe
[00:39:52] [SPEAKER_05]: well
[00:39:53] [SPEAKER_05]: you're probably right
[00:39:54] [SPEAKER_05]: some of that isn't safe
[00:39:55] [SPEAKER_05]: in some places
[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_05]: but for me
[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_05]: that is way better
[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_05]: than having it somewhere
[00:40:00] [SPEAKER_05]: that I can't access it
[00:40:01] [SPEAKER_05]: I've been able to use it
[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_05]: multiple occasions
[00:40:03] [SPEAKER_05]: and it's got me out of some
[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_05]: hoopy situations
[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_05]: simply because I had
[00:40:07] [SPEAKER_05]: access to information
[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_05]: that I wouldn't have
[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_05]: without calling somebody
[00:40:10] [SPEAKER_05]: or downloading something
[00:40:11] [SPEAKER_05]: somewhere
[00:40:12] [SPEAKER_05]: Bonnie blue says
[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_05]: most am stations
[00:40:14] [SPEAKER_05]: have also purchased
[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_05]: FM stations as a parallel
[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_05]: absolutely
[00:40:18] [SPEAKER_05]: and to be honest
[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_05]: most
[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_05]: most people
[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_05]: probably listen
[00:40:23] [SPEAKER_05]: to the FM counterpart
[00:40:24] [SPEAKER_05]: because if you listen to them
[00:40:25] [SPEAKER_05]: FM is clear
[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_05]: it's more robust
[00:40:28] [SPEAKER_05]: it doesn't tend to
[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_05]: do that kind of wax
[00:40:31] [SPEAKER_05]: and wane sound
[00:40:32] [SPEAKER_05]: that am radio does
[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_05]: but
[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_05]: still
[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_05]: it's funny that
[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_05]: nobody
[00:40:37] [SPEAKER_05]: anywhere
[00:40:38] [SPEAKER_05]: no little old lady
[00:40:39] [SPEAKER_05]: who listens on
[00:40:40] [SPEAKER_05]: am talk radio
[00:40:41] [SPEAKER_05]: called in to say
[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_05]: well
[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_04]: my am radio stations
[00:40:45] [SPEAKER_04]: not on anymore
[00:40:46] [SPEAKER_04]: I wonder what happened
[00:40:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Billy could you go over
[00:40:49] [SPEAKER_04]: and check and see if that
[00:40:51] [SPEAKER_04]: you know radio tower
[00:40:52] [SPEAKER_04]: still up
[00:40:53] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean nobody thinks to do that
[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_05]: of course right
[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_05]: but still rather interesting
[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_05]: and Bonnie blue says
[00:40:58] [SPEAKER_05]: my cellular game cameras
[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_05]: upload to the cloud
[00:41:00] [SPEAKER_05]: and on the scan desk
[00:41:02] [SPEAKER_05]: yep I like that too
[00:41:03] [SPEAKER_05]: my Wi-Fi cameras
[00:41:05] [SPEAKER_05]: do the same thing
[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_05]: all right
[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Argentina's new president
[00:41:08] [SPEAKER_05]: this is from the
[00:41:09] [SPEAKER_05]: conversation.com
[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_05]: presses ahead with
[00:41:12] [SPEAKER_05]: economic shock therapy
[00:41:14] [SPEAKER_05]: as social unrest grows
[00:41:16] [SPEAKER_05]: guys this is an interesting
[00:41:17] [SPEAKER_05]: all right
[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_05]: this dude is a
[00:41:20] [SPEAKER_05]: he's more than a libertarian
[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_05]: he's an anarcher capitalist
[00:41:23] [SPEAKER_05]: and if you
[00:41:23] [SPEAKER_05]: aren't familiar with that term
[00:41:25] [SPEAKER_05]: it's basically
[00:41:27] [SPEAKER_05]: the ultimate
[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_05]: idea in
[00:41:31] [SPEAKER_05]: the economy
[00:41:31] [SPEAKER_05]: is
[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_05]: free market interactions
[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_05]: amongst individuals
[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_05]: and basically let the market
[00:41:37] [SPEAKER_05]: do what it does
[00:41:38] [SPEAKER_05]: so
[00:41:39] [SPEAKER_05]: anarchy as in
[00:41:40] [SPEAKER_05]: no
[00:41:42] [SPEAKER_05]: rules or regulations
[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_05]: whatsoever
[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_05]: and let folks interact
[00:41:45] [SPEAKER_05]: value for value exchange
[00:41:47] [SPEAKER_05]: I love the concept
[00:41:48] [SPEAKER_05]: it really hasn't been done
[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_05]: in a large
[00:41:52] [SPEAKER_05]: population
[00:41:53] [SPEAKER_05]: in our lifetime
[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't think
[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_05]: this will be the closest
[00:41:55] [SPEAKER_05]: we've seen happen
[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_05]: the thing is
[00:41:57] [SPEAKER_05]: it's going to get
[00:42:01] [SPEAKER_05]: uncomfortable over there
[00:42:02] [SPEAKER_05]: for a little while
[00:42:03] [SPEAKER_05]: Argentina's new president
[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_05]: Javier Millay
[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_05]: seems to be making good
[00:42:07] [SPEAKER_05]: on his promise to put a
[00:42:08] [SPEAKER_05]: chainsaw to the country's
[00:42:09] [SPEAKER_05]: crisis-ridden economy
[00:42:10] [SPEAKER_05]: and as an arbiter address
[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_05]: he told the nation
[00:42:13] [SPEAKER_05]: there is no alternative
[00:42:14] [SPEAKER_05]: to shock
[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_05]: you ready for this
[00:42:16] [SPEAKER_05]: this is kind of funny
[00:42:17] [SPEAKER_05]: he dissolved
[00:42:18] [SPEAKER_05]: well anyway
[00:42:19] [SPEAKER_05]: half the country's ministries
[00:42:20] [SPEAKER_05]: days later
[00:42:21] [SPEAKER_05]: and implemented a 50
[00:42:23] [SPEAKER_05]: percent devaluation of the peso
[00:42:26] [SPEAKER_05]: but amid massive
[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_05]: spending cuts
[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_05]: you ready for this
[00:42:29] [SPEAKER_05]: Argentina's annual rate
[00:42:30] [SPEAKER_05]: of inflation has reached
[00:42:31] [SPEAKER_05]: a three decade high
[00:42:32] [SPEAKER_05]: of 254 percent
[00:42:36] [SPEAKER_05]: 254 percent inflation
[00:42:38] [SPEAKER_05]: over three decades
[00:42:40] [SPEAKER_05]: or a three decade high
[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_05]: that's an annual rate
[00:42:42] [SPEAKER_05]: of inflation
[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_05]: he blames the poor economy
[00:42:44] [SPEAKER_05]: on years of mismanagement
[00:42:45] [SPEAKER_05]: and has warned his compatriots
[00:42:47] [SPEAKER_05]: to expect more pain
[00:42:48] [SPEAKER_05]: before any gains will be felt
[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_05]: who that's going to be a tough
[00:42:53] [SPEAKER_05]: there is a photo
[00:42:54] [SPEAKER_05]: if you want to see it
[00:42:55] [SPEAKER_05]: of him when he's campaigning
[00:42:56] [SPEAKER_05]: for the presidency
[00:42:57] [SPEAKER_05]: carrying a big chainsaw
[00:42:59] [SPEAKER_05]: saying I'm going to
[00:42:59] [SPEAKER_05]: chop things down
[00:43:00] [SPEAKER_05]: and he is doing it
[00:43:02] [SPEAKER_05]: he looks like he is
[00:43:04] [SPEAKER_05]: draining the swamp
[00:43:06] [SPEAKER_05]: his plan
[00:43:06] [SPEAKER_05]: to dollarize the currency
[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_05]: which some dismissed
[00:43:09] [SPEAKER_05]: his mere electoral strategy
[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_05]: now seems likely
[00:43:12] [SPEAKER_05]: to come sooner than expected
[00:43:14] [SPEAKER_05]: and if you wonder what that means
[00:43:15] [SPEAKER_05]: it basically means
[00:43:16] [SPEAKER_05]: he's going to get rid of
[00:43:17] [SPEAKER_05]: the argentino peso
[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_05]: and allow the argentina economy
[00:43:20] [SPEAKER_05]: to run off the us dollar
[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_05]: it's an interesting concept
[00:43:23] [SPEAKER_05]: I'd love to see how it happens
[00:43:26] [SPEAKER_05]: he here's a couple of things
[00:43:28] [SPEAKER_05]: he has to deal with
[00:43:28] [SPEAKER_05]: he's got a comparatively weak
[00:43:30] [SPEAKER_05]: political position
[00:43:30] [SPEAKER_05]: because he doesn't have
[00:43:32] [SPEAKER_05]: a majority in what they call
[00:43:33] [SPEAKER_05]: their congress
[00:43:34] [SPEAKER_05]: also it's unclear
[00:43:35] [SPEAKER_05]: how much of argentina's
[00:43:36] [SPEAKER_05]: population is prepared
[00:43:37] [SPEAKER_05]: to support his measures
[00:43:39] [SPEAKER_05]: as memory of the crisis
[00:43:40] [SPEAKER_05]: crisis looms close
[00:43:41] [SPEAKER_05]: in the public imagination
[00:43:44] [SPEAKER_05]: here's what I want to
[00:43:47] [SPEAKER_05]: share with you guys
[00:43:48] [SPEAKER_05]: right here
[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_05]: labor
[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_05]: it's in green
[00:43:50] [SPEAKER_05]: so if it's in green
[00:43:51] [SPEAKER_05]: you know what happened
[00:43:52] [SPEAKER_05]: right
[00:43:53] [SPEAKER_05]: labor organizations
[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_05]: and trade unions
[00:43:55] [SPEAKER_05]: have provided
[00:43:56] [SPEAKER_05]: the largest resistance
[00:43:57] [SPEAKER_05]: no shit
[00:43:58] [SPEAKER_05]: I wonder why
[00:43:59] [SPEAKER_05]: because they tend to work
[00:44:00] [SPEAKER_05]: the least
[00:44:00] [SPEAKER_05]: and have the highest paying
[00:44:01] [SPEAKER_05]: jobs
[00:44:02] [SPEAKER_05]: and they want to protect
[00:44:03] [SPEAKER_05]: their good old boy network
[00:44:05] [SPEAKER_05]: and say
[00:44:05] [SPEAKER_05]: but we make our money
[00:44:07] [SPEAKER_05]: we deserve it
[00:44:08] [SPEAKER_05]: this entire story
[00:44:10] [SPEAKER_05]: kind of reminds me of
[00:44:11] [SPEAKER_05]: if you've ever read
[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_05]: 299 days of glintate
[00:44:14] [SPEAKER_05]: and the slow collapse
[00:44:15] [SPEAKER_05]: that happens in
[00:44:16] [SPEAKER_05]: washington state
[00:44:18] [SPEAKER_05]: where
[00:44:19] [SPEAKER_05]: they're like
[00:44:20] [SPEAKER_05]: we need to make cuts
[00:44:21] [SPEAKER_05]: we need to make cuts
[00:44:22] [SPEAKER_05]: and every time
[00:44:23] [SPEAKER_05]: they want to make a cut
[00:44:24] [SPEAKER_05]: the folks who are making
[00:44:25] [SPEAKER_05]: the big bucks
[00:44:26] [SPEAKER_05]: in those cushy government
[00:44:28] [SPEAKER_05]: of government appointed jobs
[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_05]: say no
[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_05]: we can't cut our money
[00:44:32] [SPEAKER_05]: we can't cut our pensions
[00:44:33] [SPEAKER_05]: well
[00:44:33] [SPEAKER_05]: everybody's got to
[00:44:35] [SPEAKER_05]: do something somewhere
[00:44:36] [SPEAKER_05]: the cool thing is
[00:44:37] [SPEAKER_05]: if if you were self-employed
[00:44:38] [SPEAKER_05]: and had your own business
[00:44:39] [SPEAKER_05]: other than
[00:44:40] [SPEAKER_05]: the massive inflation
[00:44:41] [SPEAKER_05]: this kind of stuff
[00:44:42] [SPEAKER_05]: isn't going to affect you
[00:44:43] [SPEAKER_05]: in some ways
[00:44:44] [SPEAKER_05]: it's probably going to make it
[00:44:45] [SPEAKER_05]: easier for you to do business
[00:44:47] [SPEAKER_05]: but the folks who
[00:44:48] [SPEAKER_05]: maybe haven't made it
[00:44:49] [SPEAKER_05]: into the positions
[00:44:50] [SPEAKER_05]: based on merit
[00:44:51] [SPEAKER_05]: are going to be the ones
[00:44:52] [SPEAKER_05]: who do the largest
[00:44:56] [SPEAKER_05]: mullay has already introduced
[00:44:57] [SPEAKER_05]: massive spending cuts
[00:44:58] [SPEAKER_05]: including a reduction
[00:44:59] [SPEAKER_05]: of salaries
[00:45:00] [SPEAKER_05]: and pensions
[00:45:01] [SPEAKER_05]: via both inflation
[00:45:02] [SPEAKER_05]: and suspending funding
[00:45:03] [SPEAKER_05]: to subnational governments
[00:45:05] [SPEAKER_05]: to pay salaries
[00:45:06] [SPEAKER_05]: and subsidies
[00:45:07] [SPEAKER_05]: he's also launched
[00:45:08] [SPEAKER_05]: an ambitious project
[00:45:09] [SPEAKER_05]: to reset the argentine economy
[00:45:11] [SPEAKER_05]: which includes the privatization of all
[00:45:13] [SPEAKER_05]: oh i love that
[00:45:14] [SPEAKER_05]: man that gets me excited
[00:45:16] [SPEAKER_05]: the privatization of all public companies
[00:45:20] [SPEAKER_05]: liberalization of trade
[00:45:21] [SPEAKER_05]: and deregulation of labor
[00:45:24] [SPEAKER_05]: holy shit
[00:45:25] [SPEAKER_05]: wouldn't people lose their
[00:45:26] [SPEAKER_05]: ever-loving collective minds
[00:45:27] [SPEAKER_05]: if we did this in north america
[00:45:29] [SPEAKER_05]: i'd love
[00:45:30] [SPEAKER_05]: i'm looking forward to seeing what happens
[00:45:31] [SPEAKER_05]: i really hope
[00:45:32] [SPEAKER_05]: something good from this can happen
[00:45:35] [SPEAKER_05]: my biggest concern
[00:45:36] [SPEAKER_05]: is how painful
[00:45:37] [SPEAKER_05]: this is going to be for the folks
[00:45:39] [SPEAKER_05]: because it is
[00:45:39] [SPEAKER_05]: anytime
[00:45:40] [SPEAKER_05]: you know
[00:45:41] [SPEAKER_05]: what do they say
[00:45:41] [SPEAKER_05]: the only person likes change
[00:45:43] [SPEAKER_05]: is a dirty baby
[00:45:45] [SPEAKER_05]: so anytime things change
[00:45:46] [SPEAKER_05]: it hurts
[00:45:47] [SPEAKER_05]: you have growing pains
[00:45:48] [SPEAKER_05]: it's
[00:45:48] [SPEAKER_05]: people are going to lose money
[00:45:50] [SPEAKER_05]: he's trying to stave off
[00:45:52] [SPEAKER_05]: you know
[00:45:52] [SPEAKER_05]: it's like putting a tourniquet
[00:45:53] [SPEAKER_05]: onto a gushing
[00:45:54] [SPEAKER_05]: leg wounder
[00:45:55] [SPEAKER_05]: and arm wound
[00:45:56] [SPEAKER_05]: it ain't going to be comfortable
[00:45:57] [SPEAKER_05]: for a while
[00:45:58] [SPEAKER_05]: but you got to do it
[00:45:59] [SPEAKER_05]: in order to stop the bleeding
[00:46:00] [SPEAKER_05]: and the fact
[00:46:01] [SPEAKER_05]: that he's divesting
[00:46:02] [SPEAKER_05]: public companies
[00:46:03] [SPEAKER_05]: and turning them private
[00:46:04] [SPEAKER_05]: all of this just gets me excited
[00:46:06] [SPEAKER_05]: i cannot wait to see
[00:46:08] [SPEAKER_05]: what would happen
[00:46:09] [SPEAKER_05]: and you know
[00:46:10] [SPEAKER_05]: one step closer
[00:46:12] [SPEAKER_05]: he just knows
[00:46:13] [SPEAKER_05]: how to push my buttons folks
[00:46:14] [SPEAKER_05]: because here it is
[00:46:15] [SPEAKER_05]: and he knows what gets me excited
[00:46:18] [SPEAKER_05]: this is one step closer
[00:46:19] [SPEAKER_05]: just think of
[00:46:20] [SPEAKER_05]: canadian post was privatized
[00:46:23] [SPEAKER_05]: exactly
[00:46:24] [SPEAKER_05]: i say all the time
[00:46:25] [SPEAKER_05]: that we could wake up tomorrow
[00:46:27] [SPEAKER_05]: and you could privatize
[00:46:28] [SPEAKER_05]: canada post
[00:46:28] [SPEAKER_05]: and within a week
[00:46:29] [SPEAKER_05]: all the private companies
[00:46:31] [SPEAKER_05]: out there would pick up
[00:46:32] [SPEAKER_05]: what little bit of mail
[00:46:33] [SPEAKER_05]: canada post couldn't handle
[00:46:35] [SPEAKER_05]: right now
[00:46:36] [SPEAKER_05]: 99 percent of all the mail
[00:46:38] [SPEAKER_05]: that comes to us
[00:46:40] [SPEAKER_05]: is parcels
[00:46:41] [SPEAKER_05]: and just as much of it
[00:46:42] [SPEAKER_05]: comes to our house
[00:46:43] [SPEAKER_05]: as goes through canada post
[00:46:44] [SPEAKER_05]: if i had the option
[00:46:45] [SPEAKER_05]: to click a little box on amazon
[00:46:47] [SPEAKER_05]: that said
[00:46:48] [SPEAKER_05]: please ship to my door yard
[00:46:49] [SPEAKER_05]: not to my post office box
[00:46:51] [SPEAKER_05]: i would do it
[00:46:51] [SPEAKER_05]: but they don't give me that option
[00:46:53] [SPEAKER_05]: at least that i'm aware of
[00:46:54] [SPEAKER_05]: if they do
[00:46:55] [SPEAKER_05]: i will do it
[00:46:56] [SPEAKER_05]: but
[00:46:58] [SPEAKER_05]: what does that leave
[00:47:00] [SPEAKER_05]: all that leaves
[00:47:01] [SPEAKER_05]: is this tiny little pile of mail
[00:47:03] [SPEAKER_05]: so becky was gone for
[00:47:04] [SPEAKER_05]: we were both gone for five
[00:47:05] [SPEAKER_05]: days four days last week
[00:47:07] [SPEAKER_05]: i go to the post office
[00:47:08] [SPEAKER_05]: i bring all our parcels home
[00:47:09] [SPEAKER_05]: i bring home a stack of
[00:47:11] [SPEAKER_05]: useless envelopes like that
[00:47:13] [SPEAKER_05]: i come home a couple hours later
[00:47:14] [SPEAKER_05]: becky's opened them all
[00:47:15] [SPEAKER_05]: she said you know what
[00:47:16] [SPEAKER_05]: that entire stack
[00:47:17] [SPEAKER_05]: there wasn't anything in there
[00:47:19] [SPEAKER_05]: that we needed
[00:47:19] [SPEAKER_05]: nothing
[00:47:20] [SPEAKER_05]: so what does that tell you
[00:47:22] [SPEAKER_05]: about the state of public companies
[00:47:24] [SPEAKER_05]: in canada
[00:47:25] [SPEAKER_05]: and they used to like to say
[00:47:26] [SPEAKER_05]: well canada post is
[00:47:27] [SPEAKER_05]: semi privatized
[00:47:29] [SPEAKER_05]: and well it's not
[00:47:30] [SPEAKER_05]: and it makes money
[00:47:31] [SPEAKER_05]: well it doesn't anymore
[00:47:33] [SPEAKER_05]: so there you go
[00:47:35] [SPEAKER_05]: i'm just excited
[00:47:35] [SPEAKER_05]: i cannot wait to see
[00:47:37] [SPEAKER_05]: this in my lifetime
[00:47:38] [SPEAKER_05]: i didn't even expect
[00:47:39] [SPEAKER_05]: that an anarcho-capitalist
[00:47:41] [SPEAKER_05]: could even come to power
[00:47:42] [SPEAKER_05]: in a major population base
[00:47:45] [SPEAKER_05]: it's going to be a pretty cool case
[00:47:47] [SPEAKER_05]: study on
[00:47:48] [SPEAKER_05]: whether or not this will actually
[00:47:50] [SPEAKER_05]: work
[00:47:50] [SPEAKER_05]: and my like i said
[00:47:51] [SPEAKER_05]: my biggest concern is
[00:47:52] [SPEAKER_05]: how painful it's going to be
[00:47:54] [SPEAKER_05]: for the people
[00:47:54] [SPEAKER_05]: and hopefully it doesn't turn
[00:47:55] [SPEAKER_05]: them off from this concept
[00:47:58] [SPEAKER_05]: man it is just
[00:47:59] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah it's kind of neat
[00:48:01] [SPEAKER_05]: and the biggest opponents
[00:48:02] [SPEAKER_05]: once again
[00:48:03] [SPEAKER_05]: are the high paid unions
[00:48:04] [SPEAKER_05]: and government employees
[00:48:06] [SPEAKER_05]: and if you look at these kind of stories
[00:48:08] [SPEAKER_05]: this is yet another reason
[00:48:10] [SPEAKER_05]: to diversify your
[00:48:13] [SPEAKER_05]: financial base
[00:48:14] [SPEAKER_05]: so again it's a good reason to have
[00:48:16] [SPEAKER_05]: you know five percent
[00:48:18] [SPEAKER_05]: in silver and gold
[00:48:19] [SPEAKER_05]: five or ten percent
[00:48:20] [SPEAKER_05]: in outside currencies
[00:48:21] [SPEAKER_05]: you know if i was in argentina
[00:48:23] [SPEAKER_05]: i'd probably look at the u.s dollar
[00:48:25] [SPEAKER_05]: and think
[00:48:25] [SPEAKER_05]: you know what
[00:48:26] [SPEAKER_05]: if i want to make sure that
[00:48:27] [SPEAKER_05]: this hundred thousand pesos
[00:48:29] [SPEAKER_05]: or what i have right now
[00:48:30] [SPEAKER_05]: doesn't get devalued
[00:48:32] [SPEAKER_05]: another 20 tomorrow
[00:48:33] [SPEAKER_05]: i'm probably going to turn a lot
[00:48:35] [SPEAKER_05]: of it into american dollars
[00:48:37] [SPEAKER_05]: another way to protect yourself
[00:48:38] [SPEAKER_05]: so these are the type of things
[00:48:40] [SPEAKER_05]: we pay attention to the news
[00:48:41] [SPEAKER_05]: you look at what's coming
[00:48:42] [SPEAKER_05]: you try to make your best
[00:48:44] [SPEAKER_05]: predictions based on
[00:48:45] [SPEAKER_05]: your gut feeling
[00:48:46] [SPEAKER_05]: and the most information you can get
[00:48:49] [SPEAKER_05]: and then
[00:48:50] [SPEAKER_05]: you create
[00:48:50] [SPEAKER_05]: decisive instant action
[00:48:53] [SPEAKER_05]: based on that
[00:48:54] [SPEAKER_05]: all right let's take a look
[00:48:55] [SPEAKER_05]: at what the fellow delinquents
[00:48:57] [SPEAKER_05]: had to say in the
[00:48:58] [SPEAKER_05]: in the comments here
[00:48:59] [SPEAKER_05]: so one step closer said
[00:49:01] [SPEAKER_05]: that argentine's president
[00:49:03] [SPEAKER_05]: his predecessor printed
[00:49:04] [SPEAKER_05]: a bunch of money during the election
[00:49:05] [SPEAKER_05]: imagine that
[00:49:06] [SPEAKER_05]: i've never heard of politicians
[00:49:07] [SPEAKER_05]: printing money during the election
[00:49:09] [SPEAKER_05]: unreal
[00:49:11] [SPEAKER_05]: rachel says i came in to say
[00:49:12] [SPEAKER_05]: hi and good night
[00:49:13] [SPEAKER_05]: have to work tomorrow
[00:49:14] [SPEAKER_05]: always great to have you
[00:49:15] [SPEAKER_05]: rachel brown love seeing you
[00:49:16] [SPEAKER_05]: ellen kerr our friend from down under
[00:49:18] [SPEAKER_05]: said
[00:49:19] [SPEAKER_05]: watch his speech at the world
[00:49:20] [SPEAKER_05]: economic forum so very good
[00:49:22] [SPEAKER_05]: i haven't seen it yet
[00:49:23] [SPEAKER_05]: but i will give it a shot
[00:49:24] [SPEAKER_05]: rachel brown's prediction is
[00:49:25] [SPEAKER_05]: he's going to be assassinated
[00:49:27] [SPEAKER_05]: i think we call that unalive
[00:49:28] [SPEAKER_05]: now if you use tiktok parlance
[00:49:32] [SPEAKER_05]: and
[00:49:33] [SPEAKER_05]: one step and rachel both say
[00:49:35] [SPEAKER_05]: i hope he stays alive
[00:49:35] [SPEAKER_05]: i'd love to see what happens
[00:49:37] [SPEAKER_05]: i'm looking forward to seeing
[00:49:39] [SPEAKER_05]: whether
[00:49:40] [SPEAKER_05]: he can put his money where his mouth is
[00:49:42] [SPEAKER_05]: he can go principles over preference
[00:49:44] [SPEAKER_05]: and he can say
[00:49:45] [SPEAKER_05]: i'm going to do this come
[00:49:46] [SPEAKER_05]: hell or high water
[00:49:47] [SPEAKER_05]: everybody hold on it's going to be
[00:49:48] [SPEAKER_05]: one hell of a ride
[00:49:49] [SPEAKER_05]: but if you stick with me
[00:49:50] [SPEAKER_05]: we're going to come out the other side
[00:49:52] [SPEAKER_05]: way more financially secure
[00:49:54] [SPEAKER_05]: because
[00:49:56] [SPEAKER_05]: we just don't need government do we
[00:49:57] [SPEAKER_05]: we really truly don't
[00:49:59] [SPEAKER_05]: but there you go
[00:50:01] [SPEAKER_05]: all right
[00:50:02] [SPEAKER_05]: so what do we got next for you
[00:50:04] [SPEAKER_05]: this one is kind of cool
[00:50:05] [SPEAKER_05]: so i renamed this i was calling this
[00:50:08] [SPEAKER_05]: spotlight
[00:50:09] [SPEAKER_05]: side hustle spotlight
[00:50:11] [SPEAKER_05]: we're now going to call it finding
[00:50:12] [SPEAKER_05]: freedom
[00:50:13] [SPEAKER_05]: and if you go back to the opening
[00:50:14] [SPEAKER_05]: of our show
[00:50:15] [SPEAKER_05]: creating community
[00:50:17] [SPEAKER_05]: finding freedom
[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_05]: promoting preparedness
[00:50:19] [SPEAKER_05]: and sharing success
[00:50:20] [SPEAKER_05]: for me the idea behind finding
[00:50:22] [SPEAKER_05]: freedom is
[00:50:23] [SPEAKER_05]: building a business
[00:50:24] [SPEAKER_05]: building multi businesses
[00:50:26] [SPEAKER_05]: having self reliance
[00:50:27] [SPEAKER_05]: and so sometimes these are going to be
[00:50:29] [SPEAKER_05]: funny stories sometimes these are
[00:50:30] [SPEAKER_05]: going to be
[00:50:31] [SPEAKER_05]: the idea of a side hustle you could
[00:50:33] [SPEAKER_05]: develop
[00:50:34] [SPEAKER_05]: and this week
[00:50:35] [SPEAKER_05]: we're going to share a story from
[00:50:36] [SPEAKER_05]: giant freaking robot
[00:50:38] [SPEAKER_05]: all about selling empty boxes
[00:50:40] [SPEAKER_05]: to kids at christmas time
[00:50:44] [SPEAKER_05]: yep i said it empty boxes to
[00:50:45] [SPEAKER_05]: christmas at christmas time
[00:50:47] [SPEAKER_05]: this is a case study in a company
[00:50:49] [SPEAKER_05]: knowing they need to sell something
[00:50:51] [SPEAKER_05]: knowing there is a market so hot
[00:50:53] [SPEAKER_05]: they'll buy empty boxes
[00:50:55] [SPEAKER_05]: simply for the promise
[00:50:56] [SPEAKER_05]: that they're going to get
[00:50:57] [SPEAKER_05]: something down the road
[00:50:59] [SPEAKER_05]: star wars made millions selling
[00:51:01] [SPEAKER_05]: children boxes of nothing
[00:51:02] [SPEAKER_05]: what a great headline that is
[00:51:05] [SPEAKER_05]: i love it you ready for this
[00:51:06] [SPEAKER_05]: kenner had no star wars toys
[00:51:09] [SPEAKER_05]: ready to go in 1977 christmas
[00:51:12] [SPEAKER_05]: as it rolled around
[00:51:13] [SPEAKER_05]: what was their solution
[00:51:15] [SPEAKER_05]: let's sell an empty box to the
[00:51:17] [SPEAKER_05]: kids instead
[00:51:18] [SPEAKER_05]: yep that's what they did
[00:51:20] [SPEAKER_05]: poor kenner knew
[00:51:22] [SPEAKER_05]: they weren't going to have any
[00:51:23] [SPEAKER_05]: things on the shelves for
[00:51:26] [SPEAKER_05]: 1977 holiday season
[00:51:28] [SPEAKER_05]: and they were going to lose out on a
[00:51:29] [SPEAKER_05]: small fortune
[00:51:31] [SPEAKER_05]: and they knew the first batch of
[00:51:32] [SPEAKER_05]: figures would be ready early
[00:51:34] [SPEAKER_05]: the following year
[00:51:35] [SPEAKER_05]: so they devised a plan
[00:51:37] [SPEAKER_05]: to sell or stall sorry not sell
[00:51:40] [SPEAKER_05]: to stall the children until then
[00:51:42] [SPEAKER_05]: again i kind of like this this
[00:51:45] [SPEAKER_05]: nintendo
[00:51:46] [SPEAKER_05]: coming up
[00:51:47] [SPEAKER_05]: they have the switch to coming
[00:51:49] [SPEAKER_05]: out
[00:51:49] [SPEAKER_05]: i think they were supposed to have
[00:51:51] [SPEAKER_05]: it for christmas 2024
[00:51:52] [SPEAKER_05]: now it looks like it's going to
[00:51:53] [SPEAKER_05]: be a little later into the year
[00:51:54] [SPEAKER_05]: going to be interesting to see how
[00:51:55] [SPEAKER_05]: they bridge the holiday season for
[00:51:57] [SPEAKER_05]: that
[00:51:58] [SPEAKER_05]: so what did they come up with
[00:52:00] [SPEAKER_05]: they come up with the early bird
[00:52:02] [SPEAKER_05]: certificate
[00:52:03] [SPEAKER_05]: the star wars early bird
[00:52:05] [SPEAKER_05]: certificate package was
[00:52:06] [SPEAKER_05]: essentially an iou it was
[00:52:08] [SPEAKER_05]: but it was added value check
[00:52:09] [SPEAKER_05]: it out it consisted of a
[00:52:12] [SPEAKER_05]: i love this a nearly empty box
[00:52:14] [SPEAKER_05]: that contained a cardboard
[00:52:16] [SPEAKER_05]: display stand
[00:52:16] [SPEAKER_05]: some stickers
[00:52:18] [SPEAKER_05]: a fan club membership
[00:52:19] [SPEAKER_05]: and most importantly
[00:52:20] [SPEAKER_05]: a certificate for star wars figures
[00:52:22] [SPEAKER_05]: so they looked at this and they
[00:52:24] [SPEAKER_05]: thought oh man
[00:52:25] [SPEAKER_05]: I could we can make some money off
[00:52:26] [SPEAKER_05]: this
[00:52:27] [SPEAKER_05]: we absolutely can
[00:52:28] [SPEAKER_05]: we know that the hot toy this
[00:52:30] [SPEAKER_05]: year if we could get it to market
[00:52:31] [SPEAKER_05]: is going to be star wars toys
[00:52:33] [SPEAKER_05]: and if we don't by 78
[00:52:35] [SPEAKER_05]: we might not be on the bandwagon
[00:52:37] [SPEAKER_05]: anymore
[00:52:38] [SPEAKER_05]: so they looked quick and like what
[00:52:40] [SPEAKER_05]: can we print well we can pretend
[00:52:41] [SPEAKER_05]: we can print an iou certificate
[00:52:44] [SPEAKER_05]: we can print a cardboard display
[00:52:45] [SPEAKER_05]: box
[00:52:45] [SPEAKER_05]: and we can print a
[00:52:47] [SPEAKER_05]: fan club membership
[00:52:48] [SPEAKER_05]: and how about some stickers
[00:52:49] [SPEAKER_05]: let's put it all together
[00:52:51] [SPEAKER_05]: let's sell it and say hey
[00:52:53] [SPEAKER_05]: I know you want these toys
[00:52:54] [SPEAKER_05]: we're working hard to build them
[00:52:55] [SPEAKER_05]: they're going to be ready for you
[00:52:57] [SPEAKER_05]: in a little bit
[00:52:58] [SPEAKER_05]: very much an early kick starter model
[00:53:00] [SPEAKER_05]: hey
[00:53:02] [SPEAKER_05]: interesting
[00:53:03] [SPEAKER_05]: a kid could mail the certificate
[00:53:05] [SPEAKER_05]: in for four action figures to kennar
[00:53:06] [SPEAKER_05]: and a few months later kennar
[00:53:08] [SPEAKER_05]: would actually mail
[00:53:09] [SPEAKER_05]: the star wars toys back to the kid
[00:53:12] [SPEAKER_05]: the star wars early bird
[00:53:13] [SPEAKER_05]: certificate packages sold like hot
[00:53:15] [SPEAKER_05]: cakes
[00:53:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know did the hot cakes
[00:53:17] [SPEAKER_05]: really I'd love to know the
[00:53:18] [SPEAKER_05]: origin of that saying because
[00:53:20] [SPEAKER_05]: you know
[00:53:21] [SPEAKER_05]: I like pancakes but
[00:53:23] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't love them enough to stand in
[00:53:25] [SPEAKER_05]: line or buy them a certificate
[00:53:28] [SPEAKER_05]: for him four months ahead of time
[00:53:29] [SPEAKER_05]: and get them in the mail
[00:53:30] [SPEAKER_05]: just saying right
[00:53:32] [SPEAKER_05]: it was all kennar could do to keep
[00:53:34] [SPEAKER_05]: them on the shelves
[00:53:35] [SPEAKER_05]: and so eventually the early bird
[00:53:38] [SPEAKER_05]: certificate packages were still
[00:53:39] [SPEAKER_05]: an oddity for the time
[00:53:40] [SPEAKER_05]: the idea of getting an empty box
[00:53:42] [SPEAKER_05]: for christmas sounds laughable now
[00:53:43] [SPEAKER_05]: but at the time it was one of the
[00:53:45] [SPEAKER_05]: most ingenious marketing schemes
[00:53:46] [SPEAKER_05]: ever conjured up by a toy
[00:53:48] [SPEAKER_05]: manufacturer
[00:53:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't think it sounds laughable
[00:53:51] [SPEAKER_05]: whatsoever
[00:53:52] [SPEAKER_05]: I think it would still fly today
[00:53:54] [SPEAKER_05]: if there the thing is that
[00:53:57] [SPEAKER_05]: companies are a lot more proactive
[00:53:58] [SPEAKER_05]: now and they're willing to take a
[00:53:59] [SPEAKER_05]: chance and say hey
[00:54:00] [SPEAKER_05]: we got this big movie coming up
[00:54:03] [SPEAKER_05]: we're gonna build a bunch of
[00:54:05] [SPEAKER_05]: merchandise ahead of time
[00:54:07] [SPEAKER_05]: so yeah I love it
[00:54:09] [SPEAKER_05]: I think it's frigging genius
[00:54:10] [SPEAKER_05]: I hope somebody somewhere gets
[00:54:13] [SPEAKER_05]: inducted into the toy hall of fame
[00:54:14] [SPEAKER_05]: simply for selling that
[00:54:17] [SPEAKER_05]: all right let's take a look at the
[00:54:19] [SPEAKER_05]: comments here
[00:54:20] [SPEAKER_05]: Ellen Kerr says my plan is to open
[00:54:22] [SPEAKER_05]: a cat boarding business
[00:54:23] [SPEAKER_05]: I love that idea Ellen
[00:54:24] [SPEAKER_05]: Becky and I have talked about that
[00:54:27] [SPEAKER_05]: that might actually be
[00:54:28] [SPEAKER_05]: we you know we're always dipping
[00:54:30] [SPEAKER_05]: our toes into 100 different
[00:54:31] [SPEAKER_05]: entrepreneurial ventures
[00:54:32] [SPEAKER_05]: but that absolutely could be one of
[00:54:35] [SPEAKER_05]: our retirement businesses
[00:54:36] [SPEAKER_05]: is having a dog boarding
[00:54:37] [SPEAKER_05]: or pet boarding place for sure
[00:54:40] [SPEAKER_05]: we've talked about it
[00:54:41] [SPEAKER_05]: we thought about setting one up
[00:54:42] [SPEAKER_05]: here in town
[00:54:43] [SPEAKER_05]: and we may eventually do just that
[00:54:45] [SPEAKER_05]: and since I asked the community
[00:54:48] [SPEAKER_05]: responded Rachel C says
[00:54:49] [SPEAKER_05]: allegedly the phrase
[00:54:52] [SPEAKER_05]: selling faster than hot cakes are
[00:54:53] [SPEAKER_05]: hotter you know
[00:54:54] [SPEAKER_05]: phrase originated in the 1800s
[00:54:56] [SPEAKER_05]: when simple cornmeal versions
[00:54:58] [SPEAKER_05]: were sold at church bake sales
[00:54:59] [SPEAKER_05]: and snapped up by the congregation
[00:55:01] [SPEAKER_05]: before they went cold
[00:55:03] [SPEAKER_05]: that makes sense
[00:55:05] [SPEAKER_05]: Rachel C says I've never seen a
[00:55:06] [SPEAKER_05]: hot cake well if you go through
[00:55:07] [SPEAKER_05]: McDonald's before
[00:55:08] [SPEAKER_05]: the breakfast rush ends
[00:55:10] [SPEAKER_05]: I believe they still call
[00:55:11] [SPEAKER_05]: their pancakes hot cakes
[00:55:12] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know
[00:55:13] [SPEAKER_05]: you know they're
[00:55:14] [SPEAKER_05]: they ain't much I'll tell you that
[00:55:16] [SPEAKER_05]: they remind me
[00:55:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Becky and I stayed at this
[00:55:20] [SPEAKER_05]: not so nice hotel this last time
[00:55:22] [SPEAKER_05]: we've been trying different hotels
[00:55:23] [SPEAKER_05]: in the city where the
[00:55:26] [SPEAKER_05]: daycare is and this one
[00:55:27] [SPEAKER_05]: didn't really live up to its
[00:55:29] [SPEAKER_05]: expectations
[00:55:29] [SPEAKER_05]: and they had this little machine
[00:55:31] [SPEAKER_05]: that you just pushed a button
[00:55:31] [SPEAKER_05]: and it dropped pancake batter
[00:55:33] [SPEAKER_05]: and then it brought it out
[00:55:34] [SPEAKER_05]: through a conveyor belt
[00:55:35] [SPEAKER_05]: it looked cool
[00:55:36] [SPEAKER_05]: but it didn't turn out
[00:55:37] [SPEAKER_05]: they weren't really that great
[00:55:40] [SPEAKER_05]: Tim Riley says
[00:55:41] [SPEAKER_05]: they stand in line in Nashville
[00:55:43] [SPEAKER_05]: every day at the pancake pantry
[00:55:44] [SPEAKER_05]: shit is wild
[00:55:46] [SPEAKER_05]: never heard of that in my life
[00:55:48] [SPEAKER_05]: interesting
[00:55:49] [SPEAKER_05]: all right what do we got next for you
[00:55:52] [SPEAKER_05]: here we go
[00:55:53] [SPEAKER_01]: he's dead they're all dead
[00:55:54] [SPEAKER_01]: everyone you and I are in a dead
[00:55:57] [SPEAKER_01]: world and I'm glad it's
[00:55:58] [SPEAKER_01]: and I'm glad it's
[00:55:58] [SPEAKER_01]: he's dead
[00:55:58] [SPEAKER_01]: he's dead
[00:55:59] [SPEAKER_01]: he's dead
[00:55:59] [SPEAKER_01]: talk, talk, talk
[00:56:00] [SPEAKER_05]: coming up next
[00:56:01] [SPEAKER_05]: coming up next
[00:56:01] [SPEAKER_05]: workshop is wasteland
[00:56:02] [SPEAKER_05]: shop wasteland
[00:56:03] [SPEAKER_05]: all right so this one
[00:56:05] [SPEAKER_05]: is where we take a look at
[00:56:07] [SPEAKER_05]: post-apocalyptic
[00:56:08] [SPEAKER_05]: pop culture
[00:56:09] [SPEAKER_05]: movies
[00:56:09] [SPEAKER_05]: video games
[00:56:10] [SPEAKER_05]: books whatever
[00:56:11] [SPEAKER_05]: fits in this segment
[00:56:13] [SPEAKER_05]: it seems to be something
[00:56:14] [SPEAKER_05]: we actually have
[00:56:15] [SPEAKER_05]: a telegram group
[00:56:16] [SPEAKER_05]: called workshop wasteland
[00:56:18] [SPEAKER_05]: where we talk about
[00:56:19] [SPEAKER_05]: all things popular culture
[00:56:21] [SPEAKER_05]: it's a fun
[00:56:23] [SPEAKER_05]: area of respite for us
[00:56:25] [SPEAKER_05]: where we can let down our
[00:56:27] [SPEAKER_05]: prepper hair
[00:56:27] [SPEAKER_05]: and talk about things
[00:56:29] [SPEAKER_05]: that aren't necessarily
[00:56:30] [SPEAKER_05]: so serious all the time
[00:56:32] [SPEAKER_05]: not much to share this week
[00:56:33] [SPEAKER_05]: just a couple of bite-sized
[00:56:34] [SPEAKER_05]: pieces of news
[00:56:34] [SPEAKER_05]: but if you're into the
[00:56:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Terminator world
[00:56:36] [SPEAKER_05]: which I have been for many
[00:56:38] [SPEAKER_05]: years
[00:56:38] [SPEAKER_05]: there's an open world
[00:56:39] [SPEAKER_05]: Terminator survival game
[00:56:41] [SPEAKER_05]: finally set for reveal
[00:56:42] [SPEAKER_05]: this is from IGN.com
[00:56:44] [SPEAKER_05]: it looks really interesting
[00:56:46] [SPEAKER_05]: Nanko announced
[00:56:47] [SPEAKER_05]: the as yet
[00:56:48] [SPEAKER_05]: untitled
[00:56:49] [SPEAKER_05]: Terminator game
[00:56:50] [SPEAKER_05]: all the way back in 2022
[00:56:52] [SPEAKER_05]: it's in the works
[00:56:53] [SPEAKER_05]: at the studio
[00:56:54] [SPEAKER_05]: it takes place
[00:56:56] [SPEAKER_05]: this is probably my favorite
[00:56:57] [SPEAKER_05]: thing right here
[00:56:58] [SPEAKER_05]: it takes place in an open
[00:56:59] [SPEAKER_05]: world set between the events
[00:57:01] [SPEAKER_05]: of judgment day
[00:57:01] [SPEAKER_05]: the sky net nuclear strike
[00:57:03] [SPEAKER_05]: that causes the apocalypse
[00:57:04] [SPEAKER_05]: and for those who don't
[00:57:06] [SPEAKER_05]: remember
[00:57:07] [SPEAKER_05]: in the second
[00:57:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Terminator
[00:57:09] [SPEAKER_05]: Terminator 2
[00:57:10] [SPEAKER_05]: she has that flash of
[00:57:11] [SPEAKER_05]: standing on the chain link
[00:57:12] [SPEAKER_05]: fence and getting burned up
[00:57:14] [SPEAKER_05]: and then in Terminator 3
[00:57:15] [SPEAKER_05]: if you consider that canon
[00:57:18] [SPEAKER_05]: the spoiler alert for a 20 year
[00:57:20] [SPEAKER_05]: old movie
[00:57:20] [SPEAKER_05]: the nuclear fallout
[00:57:21] [SPEAKER_05]: actually happens
[00:57:23] [SPEAKER_05]: so it happens between that
[00:57:24] [SPEAKER_05]: and the formation of
[00:57:25] [SPEAKER_05]: John Connor's resistance
[00:57:26] [SPEAKER_05]: she plays a group of
[00:57:27] [SPEAKER_05]: nuclear apocalypse survivors
[00:57:28] [SPEAKER_05]: fighting to stay alive
[00:57:31] [SPEAKER_05]: yep I want to play this
[00:57:32] [SPEAKER_05]: big time
[00:57:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Nanko said at the time
[00:57:35] [SPEAKER_05]: the Terminator game
[00:57:36] [SPEAKER_05]: features an original story
[00:57:37] [SPEAKER_05]: that draws upon the events
[00:57:39] [SPEAKER_05]: portrayed in the movies
[00:57:40] [SPEAKER_05]: the cinematic teaser trailer
[00:57:41] [SPEAKER_05]: revealed a T-800
[00:57:43] [SPEAKER_05]: hunting someone in a warehouse
[00:57:45] [SPEAKER_05]: with the iconic
[00:57:47] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm not even gonna try to do it
[00:57:48] [SPEAKER_05]: original Terminator theme
[00:57:49] [SPEAKER_05]: blaring in the background
[00:57:51] [SPEAKER_05]: man do I ever wish
[00:57:52] [SPEAKER_05]: that I could play trailers on
[00:57:53] [SPEAKER_05]: this show
[00:57:54] [SPEAKER_05]: I just can't
[00:57:55] [SPEAKER_05]: because if I do
[00:57:56] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm gonna get hit with a
[00:57:57] [SPEAKER_05]: copyright strike
[00:57:58] [SPEAKER_05]: I gotta figure out a way
[00:57:59] [SPEAKER_05]: to do it
[00:57:59] [SPEAKER_05]: that falls within
[00:58:00] [SPEAKER_05]: that plays within the rules
[00:58:01] [SPEAKER_05]: because it's YouTube's
[00:58:03] [SPEAKER_05]: platform and I have to live
[00:58:04] [SPEAKER_05]: with it right
[00:58:05] [SPEAKER_05]: Spags unfiltered
[00:58:06] [SPEAKER_05]: good to see you brother
[00:58:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Bobby
[00:58:07] [SPEAKER_05]: he says the follow
[00:58:08] [SPEAKER_05]: video game series rules all
[00:58:10] [SPEAKER_05]: I haven't played follow
[00:58:12] [SPEAKER_05]: my son has played it religiously
[00:58:14] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm rather stoked
[00:58:16] [SPEAKER_05]: they're putting out a
[00:58:17] [SPEAKER_05]: full length
[00:58:19] [SPEAKER_05]: TV series
[00:58:20] [SPEAKER_05]: I believe it's on Amazon Prime
[00:58:22] [SPEAKER_05]: of the follow-up video game
[00:58:23] [SPEAKER_05]: comes out in April
[00:58:24] [SPEAKER_05]: I think
[00:58:26] [SPEAKER_05]: if we can do it
[00:58:27] [SPEAKER_05]: Becky and I are gonna do
[00:58:28] [SPEAKER_05]: weekly reviews like we did
[00:58:29] [SPEAKER_05]: with the last of us
[00:58:31] [SPEAKER_05]: Rachel C says
[00:58:32] [SPEAKER_05]: if AI continues a pace
[00:58:34] [SPEAKER_05]: the whole world will be
[00:58:35] [SPEAKER_05]: the open world Terminator game
[00:58:37] [SPEAKER_05]: amen
[00:58:38] [SPEAKER_05]: you're not wrong I know we joke but
[00:58:40] [SPEAKER_05]: what else can we do sometimes
[00:58:41] [SPEAKER_05]: we just have to sit back and
[00:58:43] [SPEAKER_05]: laugh don't we
[00:58:43] [SPEAKER_05]: not really we can prepare
[00:58:45] [SPEAKER_05]: all right in the second piece of
[00:58:47] [SPEAKER_05]: post apocalyptic
[00:58:50] [SPEAKER_05]: workshop wasteland
[00:58:51] [SPEAKER_05]: comes from thehollywoodreporter.com
[00:58:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Civil War trailer new footage
[00:58:55] [SPEAKER_05]: is Alex Garland's American
[00:58:56] [SPEAKER_05]: Pockalypse
[00:58:58] [SPEAKER_05]: if you haven't seen this yet
[00:58:59] [SPEAKER_05]: do yourself a favor
[00:59:00] [SPEAKER_05]: go out and watch this trailer
[00:59:02] [SPEAKER_05]: it looks really really good
[00:59:05] [SPEAKER_05]: I am excited for this film
[00:59:07] [SPEAKER_05]: this is the the dude who actually
[00:59:09] [SPEAKER_05]: was the co-writer on the original
[00:59:11] [SPEAKER_05]: 28 days later
[00:59:12] [SPEAKER_05]: he's done a bunch of top notch
[00:59:14] [SPEAKER_05]: films since
[00:59:15] [SPEAKER_05]: now
[00:59:17] [SPEAKER_05]: love it or hate it
[00:59:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to tell you right now
[00:59:19] [SPEAKER_05]: that some of the politics in this
[00:59:21] [SPEAKER_05]: movie will probably piss you off
[00:59:23] [SPEAKER_05]: and I don't care because
[00:59:25] [SPEAKER_05]: you can still watch something
[00:59:27] [SPEAKER_05]: and be entertained by it
[00:59:28] [SPEAKER_05]: and not agree with messages
[00:59:29] [SPEAKER_05]: behind it so
[00:59:29] [SPEAKER_05]: there we are
[00:59:30] [SPEAKER_05]: but this looks really cool
[00:59:32] [SPEAKER_05]: this is the second piece
[00:59:34] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't even know where
[00:59:35] [SPEAKER_05]: they're going with it because
[00:59:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Texas and California are on the same side
[00:59:39] [SPEAKER_05]: I think this has the potential
[00:59:41] [SPEAKER_05]: to be a modern red dawn
[00:59:43] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean I know
[00:59:44] [SPEAKER_05]: am I speaking heresy here
[00:59:45] [SPEAKER_05]: I probably am
[00:59:46] [SPEAKER_05]: I get it
[00:59:48] [SPEAKER_05]: but do yourself a favor
[00:59:49] [SPEAKER_05]: go out and watch this trailer
[00:59:50] [SPEAKER_05]: it's uh it's a lot of fun
[00:59:51] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm excited about the film
[00:59:54] [SPEAKER_05]: it really does have shades of
[00:59:56] [SPEAKER_05]: red dawn in its own way
[00:59:57] [SPEAKER_05]: don't expect to agree with the
[00:59:59] [SPEAKER_05]: politics because I'm sure we won't
[01:00:01] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm sure whoever you know
[01:00:02] [SPEAKER_05]: because it ain't going to be an
[01:00:03] [SPEAKER_05]: apocalypse
[01:00:04] [SPEAKER_05]: or an anarchist
[01:00:05] [SPEAKER_05]: political bent that's for sure
[01:00:08] [SPEAKER_05]: but go into this
[01:00:10] [SPEAKER_05]: looking at what somebody's vision
[01:00:12] [SPEAKER_05]: of what a modern
[01:00:14] [SPEAKER_05]: kind of breakdown of society
[01:00:15] [SPEAKER_05]: civil war will look like
[01:00:16] [SPEAKER_05]: now my one word of caution is
[01:00:19] [SPEAKER_05]: in this second trailer
[01:00:20] [SPEAKER_05]: I noticed that some of the
[01:00:22] [SPEAKER_05]: war effects
[01:00:23] [SPEAKER_05]: is that the right term
[01:00:24] [SPEAKER_05]: I assume they're special effects
[01:00:26] [SPEAKER_05]: the explosions and things like that
[01:00:28] [SPEAKER_05]: are subpar
[01:00:30] [SPEAKER_05]: and I hope they're just not finished
[01:00:32] [SPEAKER_05]: for this movie that I believe
[01:00:33] [SPEAKER_05]: comes out in April as well
[01:00:35] [SPEAKER_05]: so take that with a grain of salt
[01:00:37] [SPEAKER_05]: let me know what you think
[01:00:39] [SPEAKER_05]: but I'm uh
[01:00:40] [SPEAKER_05]: I am definitely looking forward to
[01:00:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Alex Garland getting what I believe
[01:00:45] [SPEAKER_05]: is an $80 million budget
[01:00:46] [SPEAKER_05]: it's an a24 film
[01:00:48] [SPEAKER_05]: which tend to sit with very small
[01:00:50] [SPEAKER_05]: budgets
[01:00:53] [SPEAKER_05]: cautiously optimistic
[01:00:55] [SPEAKER_05]: moving right along
[01:00:56] [SPEAKER_05]: one step closer says great memes
[01:00:58] [SPEAKER_05]: already
[01:00:58] [SPEAKER_05]: what kind of american are you
[01:01:01] [SPEAKER_05]: the memes will flood the internet
[01:01:03] [SPEAKER_05]: out of this movie
[01:01:03] [SPEAKER_05]: I have my suspicions
[01:01:05] [SPEAKER_05]: I hope it makes bank
[01:01:06] [SPEAKER_05]: I hope it does really well
[01:01:08] [SPEAKER_05]: because it will open the floodgates
[01:01:10] [SPEAKER_05]: for tons of clones
[01:01:13] [SPEAKER_05]: whatever you want to call it
[01:01:14] [SPEAKER_05]: but anyway
[01:01:15] [SPEAKER_05]: it looks good
[01:01:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Rachel C says absolutely
[01:01:18] [SPEAKER_05]: might find me on opening night
[01:01:19] [SPEAKER_05]: with some wacky red glasses
[01:01:21] [SPEAKER_05]: yes
[01:01:22] [SPEAKER_05]: that's what it is
[01:01:24] [SPEAKER_05]: it's okay
[01:01:25] [SPEAKER_05]: to enjoy something
[01:01:26] [SPEAKER_05]: and not be offended by it
[01:01:28] [SPEAKER_05]: because
[01:01:29] [SPEAKER_05]: shit anyway
[01:01:30] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm just gonna go off on the tangent
[01:01:32] [SPEAKER_05]: because
[01:01:33] [SPEAKER_05]: the entire modern society
[01:01:34] [SPEAKER_05]: just gets
[01:01:34] [SPEAKER_05]: they get their panties in a knot
[01:01:36] [SPEAKER_05]: over absolutely everything
[01:01:37] [SPEAKER_05]: it's okay to go out and watch a film
[01:01:39] [SPEAKER_05]: like this and say
[01:01:39] [SPEAKER_05]: holy shit this is cool
[01:01:41] [SPEAKER_05]: this is fun
[01:01:42] [SPEAKER_05]: it is willing suspension of disbelief
[01:01:45] [SPEAKER_05]: I can learn shit from it
[01:01:46] [SPEAKER_05]: and I don't have to agree with the
[01:01:48] [SPEAKER_05]: filmmaker
[01:01:48] [SPEAKER_05]: so hopefully that's where we end up
[01:01:50] [SPEAKER_05]: I hope it doesn't become one of those
[01:01:53] [SPEAKER_05]: you know
[01:01:54] [SPEAKER_05]: points in time
[01:01:55] [SPEAKER_05]: where both sides argue over things
[01:01:57] [SPEAKER_05]: it very well could
[01:01:58] [SPEAKER_05]: but I'm not gonna let it be
[01:02:00] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm gonna let it stand or fall
[01:02:02] [SPEAKER_05]: on the merits
[01:02:02] [SPEAKER_05]: of it being artistic expression
[01:02:04] [SPEAKER_05]: and I'll give you a review of it
[01:02:06] [SPEAKER_05]: and hopefully
[01:02:07] [SPEAKER_05]: if Becky and I can time it out right
[01:02:09] [SPEAKER_05]: while we're down in Tennessee
[01:02:12] [SPEAKER_05]: is uh
[01:02:14] [SPEAKER_05]: we'll do it then
[01:02:15] [SPEAKER_05]: it'll be good
[01:02:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Bonnie blue
[01:02:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I love you
[01:02:17] [SPEAKER_05]: you coming in here
[01:02:18] [SPEAKER_05]: you are always
[01:02:19] [SPEAKER_05]: a breath of fresh air
[01:02:21] [SPEAKER_05]: in our community
[01:02:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Bonnie has the way of
[01:02:24] [SPEAKER_05]: giving her opinion
[01:02:25] [SPEAKER_05]: and stating it in
[01:02:27] [SPEAKER_05]: a very succinct
[01:02:28] [SPEAKER_05]: loving way
[01:02:30] [SPEAKER_05]: and Bonnie blue just said
[01:02:31] [SPEAKER_05]: five words
[01:02:33] [SPEAKER_05]: being offended is a choice
[01:02:37] [SPEAKER_05]: I can't say it any better than that
[01:02:39] [SPEAKER_05]: remember that folks
[01:02:40] [SPEAKER_05]: damn that should be one of my rules to
[01:02:42] [SPEAKER_05]: live by
[01:02:42] [SPEAKER_05]: I love it
[01:02:43] [SPEAKER_05]: being offended is a choice
[01:02:44] [SPEAKER_05]: that statement
[01:02:45] [SPEAKER_05]: offends me Bonnie blue
[01:02:46] [SPEAKER_05]: but thank you for sharing it
[01:02:48] [SPEAKER_05]: all right what do we got next for
[01:02:50] [SPEAKER_05]: you folks
[01:02:50] [SPEAKER_05]: all right here we go
[01:02:52] [SPEAKER_05]: we have
[01:02:53] [SPEAKER_05]: oh one of my favorite
[01:02:54] [SPEAKER_05]: the cookbook of the collapse
[01:02:56] [SPEAKER_05]: now I don't have
[01:02:57] [SPEAKER_05]: it up on the screen for you
[01:02:59] [SPEAKER_05]: but this week is
[01:03:00] [SPEAKER_05]: again
[01:03:01] [SPEAKER_05]: I really want to get some
[01:03:04] [SPEAKER_05]: more recipes from you guys
[01:03:06] [SPEAKER_05]: I've been sharing a lot of what I have
[01:03:08] [SPEAKER_05]: and letty Lou was nice enough to set up
[01:03:11] [SPEAKER_05]: this is my own failure
[01:03:12] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't have the link right now
[01:03:13] [SPEAKER_05]: but
[01:03:14] [SPEAKER_05]: if you can buy the telegram group
[01:03:16] [SPEAKER_05]: we can share it over there
[01:03:17] [SPEAKER_05]: she set up a form where you can
[01:03:18] [SPEAKER_05]: submit recipes
[01:03:19] [SPEAKER_05]: and I would love
[01:03:19] [SPEAKER_05]: I just want simple
[01:03:20] [SPEAKER_05]: they can be family
[01:03:22] [SPEAKER_05]: just recipes that you like
[01:03:23] [SPEAKER_05]: that you could make out of your
[01:03:24] [SPEAKER_05]: preps
[01:03:24] [SPEAKER_05]: so this week
[01:03:26] [SPEAKER_05]: and the reason we did this one
[01:03:27] [SPEAKER_05]: is because Becky and I have been
[01:03:29] [SPEAKER_05]: talking about
[01:03:30] [SPEAKER_05]: freeze-drying
[01:03:31] [SPEAKER_05]: mushroom soup
[01:03:33] [SPEAKER_05]: we love cream
[01:03:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Campbell's cream and mushroom soup
[01:03:35] [SPEAKER_05]: we use it in so many recipes
[01:03:37] [SPEAKER_05]: and I've been reading up
[01:03:38] [SPEAKER_05]: on the ability to freeze dry
[01:03:39] [SPEAKER_05]: it looks like it's doable for sure
[01:03:42] [SPEAKER_05]: so cookbook of the collapse
[01:03:44] [SPEAKER_05]: scallop potatoes
[01:03:45] [SPEAKER_05]: this is what Becky and I do
[01:03:47] [SPEAKER_05]: well she does
[01:03:47] [SPEAKER_05]: I watch I help
[01:03:48] [SPEAKER_05]: sliced potatoes
[01:03:49] [SPEAKER_05]: you know
[01:03:50] [SPEAKER_05]: around a quarter of an inch
[01:03:51] [SPEAKER_05]: to an eighth of an inch
[01:03:52] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah probably about a quarter of an inch thick
[01:03:54] [SPEAKER_05]: slice them
[01:03:55] [SPEAKER_05]: fill a layer
[01:03:56] [SPEAKER_05]: of a nine by 11 casserole dish
[01:03:58] [SPEAKER_05]: you're gonna need four cans of mushroom soup
[01:04:00] [SPEAKER_05]: a little bit of flour
[01:04:01] [SPEAKER_05]: some onion powder
[01:04:02] [SPEAKER_05]: some salt and pepper
[01:04:03] [SPEAKER_05]: and you're gonna layer potatoes
[01:04:06] [SPEAKER_05]: soup
[01:04:06] [SPEAKER_05]: onion flour
[01:04:07] [SPEAKER_05]: potato soup
[01:04:08] [SPEAKER_05]: onion flour
[01:04:09] [SPEAKER_05]: just go all the way up till it's the top
[01:04:11] [SPEAKER_05]: then you're gonna dump a bunch more soup on top
[01:04:13] [SPEAKER_05]: make it like a gravy
[01:04:14] [SPEAKER_05]: don't have to add a lot of water to your mushroom soup
[01:04:16] [SPEAKER_05]: you're gonna cover it with tinfoil
[01:04:18] [SPEAKER_05]: you're gonna bake it 350 until it's soft
[01:04:21] [SPEAKER_05]: and then you're gonna sit down
[01:04:22] [SPEAKER_05]: and you're gonna enjoy it
[01:04:24] [SPEAKER_05]: and so we're gonna
[01:04:25] [SPEAKER_05]: we're gonna look at
[01:04:27] [SPEAKER_05]: freeze-drying
[01:04:28] [SPEAKER_05]: entire portions of
[01:04:30] [SPEAKER_05]: scalloped potatoes
[01:04:31] [SPEAKER_05]: and also the ingredients to make scalloped potatoes
[01:04:34] [SPEAKER_05]: because just about everything in that will store
[01:04:36] [SPEAKER_05]: beautifully when freeze dried
[01:04:38] [SPEAKER_05]: so that's definitely one of our favorites
[01:04:41] [SPEAKER_05]: I yeah
[01:04:42] [SPEAKER_05]: oh I like it
[01:04:44] [SPEAKER_05]: all right
[01:04:45] [SPEAKER_05]: next is this week in the workshop
[01:04:48] [SPEAKER_05]: and if you guys like these stinger transitions
[01:04:50] [SPEAKER_05]: if you're wondering
[01:04:51] [SPEAKER_05]: if you want to know the movies
[01:04:52] [SPEAKER_05]: they come from that sort of thing
[01:04:53] [SPEAKER_05]: they've all come from
[01:04:57] [SPEAKER_05]: old apocalyptic dystopian movies
[01:05:01] [SPEAKER_05]: that you know a lot of them have a
[01:05:03] [SPEAKER_05]: a warm spot in my heart
[01:05:04] [SPEAKER_05]: so I wanted to pick these kind of random clips
[01:05:06] [SPEAKER_05]: that sounded cool
[01:05:07] [SPEAKER_05]: and then you know an intro to it
[01:05:09] [SPEAKER_05]: so if you like it
[01:05:10] [SPEAKER_05]: there'll be more of them
[01:05:11] [SPEAKER_05]: I'd love to have one for every segment
[01:05:12] [SPEAKER_05]: that I do here
[01:05:13] [SPEAKER_05]: and if you guys have any suggestions
[01:05:15] [SPEAKER_05]: for clips to use
[01:05:17] [SPEAKER_05]: that is one thing that a person can use
[01:05:19] [SPEAKER_05]: freely on YouTube
[01:05:20] [SPEAKER_05]: without getting copyright strikes
[01:05:22] [SPEAKER_05]: is transformative small clips
[01:05:24] [SPEAKER_05]: of audio and video from movies
[01:05:26] [SPEAKER_05]: so there you go
[01:05:27] [SPEAKER_05]: this week in the workshop
[01:05:28] [SPEAKER_05]: this is where I share
[01:05:30] [SPEAKER_05]: what we've been up to
[01:05:31] [SPEAKER_05]: the things that I've gotten done
[01:05:32] [SPEAKER_05]: in my life
[01:05:33] [SPEAKER_05]: for two reasons
[01:05:34] [SPEAKER_05]: one hopefully to inspire you guys
[01:05:36] [SPEAKER_05]: to share what you've done
[01:05:37] [SPEAKER_05]: and also
[01:05:39] [SPEAKER_05]: to force me into accountability
[01:05:40] [SPEAKER_05]: because if I come on here
[01:05:41] [SPEAKER_05]: and I say oh guys
[01:05:43] [SPEAKER_05]: you know what I did this week
[01:05:44] [SPEAKER_05]: I played one game of mini golf
[01:05:45] [SPEAKER_05]: in the rest of the week
[01:05:47] [SPEAKER_05]: I sat in my lawn chair
[01:05:48] [SPEAKER_05]: and I drank old fashions
[01:05:49] [SPEAKER_05]: now that might be fine
[01:05:50] [SPEAKER_05]: for a summer vacation
[01:05:51] [SPEAKER_05]: although I don't think I could
[01:05:52] [SPEAKER_05]: actually do that
[01:05:53] [SPEAKER_05]: but if I was doing that weekend and week
[01:05:55] [SPEAKER_05]: out I'd hope you'd be a little bit worried about me
[01:05:57] [SPEAKER_05]: all right so
[01:06:01] [SPEAKER_05]: as far as property management goes
[01:06:03] [SPEAKER_05]: I went over last week
[01:06:04] [SPEAKER_05]: I installed a new doorknob
[01:06:05] [SPEAKER_05]: I fixed a water main drip
[01:06:07] [SPEAKER_05]: I got really lucky on this one folks
[01:06:09] [SPEAKER_05]: a lot of times
[01:06:10] [SPEAKER_05]: if you guys know that
[01:06:11] [SPEAKER_05]: if you don't know the difference
[01:06:12] [SPEAKER_05]: between a gate valve
[01:06:13] [SPEAKER_05]: and a ball valve
[01:06:14] [SPEAKER_05]: a gate valve is your typical
[01:06:15] [SPEAKER_05]: outdoor tap
[01:06:16] [SPEAKER_05]: it's got a round handle
[01:06:17] [SPEAKER_05]: and you gotta go
[01:06:19] [SPEAKER_05]: turn to the bunch of times
[01:06:20] [SPEAKER_05]: until it turns off
[01:06:21] [SPEAKER_05]: and eventually
[01:06:22] [SPEAKER_05]: the rubbers inside start stripping
[01:06:23] [SPEAKER_05]: or the packing gets old
[01:06:25] [SPEAKER_05]: and they start dripping like a bugger
[01:06:26] [SPEAKER_05]: whereas ball valves are basically
[01:06:29] [SPEAKER_05]: hollowed out
[01:06:31] [SPEAKER_05]: ball for lack of a better term
[01:06:32] [SPEAKER_05]: usually brass
[01:06:33] [SPEAKER_05]: and they have a quarter turn handle
[01:06:34] [SPEAKER_05]: and those things
[01:06:35] [SPEAKER_05]: as long as you keep moving them
[01:06:36] [SPEAKER_05]: every you know once a year
[01:06:38] [SPEAKER_05]: or something
[01:06:38] [SPEAKER_05]: they will last
[01:06:40] [SPEAKER_05]: almost an eternity
[01:06:41] [SPEAKER_05]: well guess what
[01:06:42] [SPEAKER_05]: most of the ones around here
[01:06:44] [SPEAKER_05]: the old water mains
[01:06:45] [SPEAKER_05]: in the basement
[01:06:45] [SPEAKER_05]: are gate valves
[01:06:47] [SPEAKER_05]: and I went into a property the other day
[01:06:49] [SPEAKER_05]: and it was dripping quite bad
[01:06:50] [SPEAKER_05]: and of course
[01:06:51] [SPEAKER_05]: even your water main
[01:06:52] [SPEAKER_05]: the only way to repair
[01:06:54] [SPEAKER_05]: or replace that
[01:06:55] [SPEAKER_05]: is to have the town come in
[01:06:56] [SPEAKER_05]: and shut off the water
[01:06:57] [SPEAKER_05]: at the corner
[01:06:59] [SPEAKER_05]: so I got lucky
[01:07:01] [SPEAKER_05]: and I was able to tighten down
[01:07:02] [SPEAKER_05]: the packing behind it
[01:07:03] [SPEAKER_05]: and it stopped dripping
[01:07:05] [SPEAKER_05]: I was quite worried
[01:07:06] [SPEAKER_05]: that if I cranked on it too hard
[01:07:07] [SPEAKER_05]: it wouldn't be Timproof
[01:07:08] [SPEAKER_05]: and I'd be in trouble
[01:07:10] [SPEAKER_05]: so the freeze drying report this week
[01:07:12] [SPEAKER_05]: I actually got a lot done
[01:07:13] [SPEAKER_05]: considering I wasn't home
[01:07:14] [SPEAKER_05]: for most of the week
[01:07:15] [SPEAKER_05]: I did a batch of
[01:07:17] [SPEAKER_05]: freeze dried chocolate milk
[01:07:19] [SPEAKER_05]: which the powder tastes good
[01:07:21] [SPEAKER_05]: but it did not reconstitute
[01:07:22] [SPEAKER_05]: with water whatsoever
[01:07:23] [SPEAKER_05]: so ever
[01:07:24] [SPEAKER_05]: I got to come up with an idea
[01:07:25] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm thinking maybe an immersion blender
[01:07:27] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know
[01:07:28] [SPEAKER_05]: but
[01:07:29] [SPEAKER_05]: I have the finished product
[01:07:30] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to test it
[01:07:31] [SPEAKER_05]: if anybody's had any luck
[01:07:32] [SPEAKER_05]: let me know
[01:07:33] [SPEAKER_05]: we did ground beef
[01:07:36] [SPEAKER_05]: coming up in the next couple of weeks
[01:07:37] [SPEAKER_05]: you'll probably see a video
[01:07:38] [SPEAKER_05]: on a deep dive
[01:07:39] [SPEAKER_05]: in the time and cost involved
[01:07:41] [SPEAKER_05]: in freeze drying
[01:07:43] [SPEAKER_05]: and whether it's actually worth it
[01:07:44] [SPEAKER_05]: started right from the beginning
[01:07:46] [SPEAKER_05]: and I weighed everything
[01:07:47] [SPEAKER_05]: before it was cooked
[01:07:48] [SPEAKER_05]: after it was cooked
[01:07:49] [SPEAKER_05]: before it was freeze dried
[01:07:50] [SPEAKER_05]: after it was freeze dried
[01:07:51] [SPEAKER_05]: look at the entire process
[01:07:52] [SPEAKER_05]: and we're going to see
[01:07:53] [SPEAKER_05]: how much money do you actually save
[01:07:55] [SPEAKER_05]: compared to buying
[01:07:56] [SPEAKER_05]: Mountain House
[01:07:56] [SPEAKER_05]: or
[01:07:58] [SPEAKER_05]: Alguson firms
[01:07:58] [SPEAKER_05]: and that sort of thing
[01:07:59] [SPEAKER_05]: so that was a lot of fun
[01:08:00] [SPEAKER_05]: and then most recently
[01:08:02] [SPEAKER_05]: I did breakfast sausage links
[01:08:06] [SPEAKER_05]: they
[01:08:06] [SPEAKER_05]: they're good
[01:08:07] [SPEAKER_05]: you have to be careful
[01:08:08] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't think the life will be as long as
[01:08:11] [SPEAKER_05]: say
[01:08:11] [SPEAKER_05]: you know
[01:08:12] [SPEAKER_05]: a really dry meat
[01:08:14] [SPEAKER_05]: like ground beef for instance
[01:08:16] [SPEAKER_05]: but
[01:08:17] [SPEAKER_05]: fry them up
[01:08:18] [SPEAKER_05]: kind of rub
[01:08:19] [SPEAKER_05]: rub the sausage with paper towel
[01:08:21] [SPEAKER_05]: to get as much of the
[01:08:23] [SPEAKER_05]: grease off as you can
[01:08:25] [SPEAKER_05]: and then
[01:08:26] [SPEAKER_05]: put them in the freeze jar
[01:08:27] [SPEAKER_05]: and then
[01:08:28] [SPEAKER_05]: wipe them down again
[01:08:29] [SPEAKER_05]: with paper towel
[01:08:30] [SPEAKER_05]: to get any of the grease
[01:08:31] [SPEAKER_05]: or fat off
[01:08:32] [SPEAKER_05]: and that's going to help extend the life
[01:08:33] [SPEAKER_05]: but those sausage look
[01:08:34] [SPEAKER_05]: as good as they came out of the oven
[01:08:36] [SPEAKER_05]: so
[01:08:36] [SPEAKER_05]: can't wait to try it out
[01:08:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Byron Robert says
[01:08:39] [SPEAKER_05]: a powered
[01:08:40] [SPEAKER_05]: a powered milk for
[01:08:41] [SPEAKER_05]: frother
[01:08:42] [SPEAKER_05]: oh my god
[01:08:42] [SPEAKER_05]: try to say that 10 times fast
[01:08:44] [SPEAKER_05]: might help
[01:08:44] [SPEAKER_05]: that's a good suggestion
[01:08:46] [SPEAKER_05]: I'll give it a shot Byron
[01:08:47] [SPEAKER_05]: all right
[01:08:49] [SPEAKER_05]: this week's video I did
[01:08:50] [SPEAKER_05]: it was a bit different
[01:08:51] [SPEAKER_05]: I love
[01:08:53] [SPEAKER_05]: there is nothing I love more
[01:08:54] [SPEAKER_05]: than making a video
[01:08:55] [SPEAKER_05]: based on the suggestion of
[01:08:57] [SPEAKER_05]: folks in the community
[01:08:59] [SPEAKER_05]: and Chris Dixon sent me a text
[01:09:00] [SPEAKER_05]: a couple of weeks ago
[01:09:01] [SPEAKER_05]: and he said
[01:09:01] [SPEAKER_05]: hey
[01:09:02] [SPEAKER_05]: you've been talking about your
[01:09:03] [SPEAKER_05]: long-term dry good storage
[01:09:05] [SPEAKER_05]: what does that entail
[01:09:07] [SPEAKER_05]: and I said
[01:09:07] [SPEAKER_05]: well guess what
[01:09:08] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to do a video on that
[01:09:10] [SPEAKER_05]: since you asked
[01:09:11] [SPEAKER_05]: and
[01:09:12] [SPEAKER_05]: wow
[01:09:12] [SPEAKER_05]: that video has blown up
[01:09:15] [SPEAKER_05]: it has been my
[01:09:15] [SPEAKER_05]: top trending video
[01:09:19] [SPEAKER_05]: ever
[01:09:19] [SPEAKER_05]: I think in the first week
[01:09:21] [SPEAKER_05]: so
[01:09:21] [SPEAKER_05]: we'll see
[01:09:22] [SPEAKER_05]: it's just about at a thousand
[01:09:24] [SPEAKER_05]: views since Wednesday
[01:09:25] [SPEAKER_05]: and it is not showing any signs
[01:09:27] [SPEAKER_05]: of letting down
[01:09:29] [SPEAKER_05]: so
[01:09:30] [SPEAKER_05]: a good combination of a question
[01:09:32] [SPEAKER_05]: the community asks
[01:09:33] [SPEAKER_05]: good search engine optimization
[01:09:35] [SPEAKER_05]: good topic
[01:09:36] [SPEAKER_05]: and putting together a good quality
[01:09:39] [SPEAKER_05]: end product
[01:09:40] [SPEAKER_05]: seems to be working really really well
[01:09:42] [SPEAKER_05]: I've got some comments
[01:09:43] [SPEAKER_05]: in the audience here Rachel C says
[01:09:45] [SPEAKER_05]: have you ever tried
[01:09:46] [SPEAKER_05]: freeze drying
[01:09:46] [SPEAKER_05]: whole raw chicken breasts
[01:09:48] [SPEAKER_05]: I saw them online
[01:09:49] [SPEAKER_05]: but even pounded to an even thickness
[01:09:51] [SPEAKER_05]: and it was a big fail
[01:09:53] [SPEAKER_05]: so I'm going to be honest
[01:09:54] [SPEAKER_05]: I have no interest
[01:09:56] [SPEAKER_05]: in freeze drying raw product
[01:09:58] [SPEAKER_05]: this is just me
[01:10:00] [SPEAKER_05]: and take it for what it's worth
[01:10:03] [SPEAKER_05]: I just don't see
[01:10:05] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't see the benefit in it
[01:10:07] [SPEAKER_05]: because
[01:10:09] [SPEAKER_05]: thank you Bonnie blue guys
[01:10:10] [SPEAKER_05]: thank you Bonnie
[01:10:12] [SPEAKER_05]: she just sent a super sticker
[01:10:13] [SPEAKER_05]: for 1999 American
[01:10:15] [SPEAKER_05]: anyway
[01:10:16] [SPEAKER_05]: thank you
[01:10:17] [SPEAKER_05]: that just makes me smile
[01:10:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I love it guys
[01:10:19] [SPEAKER_05]: you know
[01:10:20] [SPEAKER_05]: I love doing this
[01:10:21] [SPEAKER_05]: and this is absolutely
[01:10:23] [SPEAKER_05]: one of those instances
[01:10:24] [SPEAKER_05]: where I say
[01:10:25] [SPEAKER_05]: you can make money
[01:10:25] [SPEAKER_05]: and help people too
[01:10:26] [SPEAKER_05]: my first
[01:10:28] [SPEAKER_05]: love
[01:10:28] [SPEAKER_05]: of anything that I teach on is prepping
[01:10:31] [SPEAKER_05]: so thank you Bonnie blue
[01:10:32] [SPEAKER_05]: I really appreciate that
[01:10:33] [SPEAKER_05]: that means a lot
[01:10:34] [SPEAKER_05]: so back to Rachel C's question
[01:10:36] [SPEAKER_05]: have you ever tried
[01:10:37] [SPEAKER_05]: freeze drying whole raw chicken breasts
[01:10:39] [SPEAKER_05]: no I haven't
[01:10:40] [SPEAKER_05]: I probably never will
[01:10:42] [SPEAKER_05]: and the main reason
[01:10:43] [SPEAKER_05]: like I said is
[01:10:45] [SPEAKER_05]: the freeze drying
[01:10:46] [SPEAKER_05]: is for a couple things
[01:10:47] [SPEAKER_05]: it's either for really long term storage
[01:10:49] [SPEAKER_05]: to add proteins
[01:10:50] [SPEAKER_05]: and maybe a little bit of fat
[01:10:52] [SPEAKER_05]: into our dry goods storage
[01:10:54] [SPEAKER_05]: and number two
[01:10:55] [SPEAKER_05]: it's for travel
[01:10:55] [SPEAKER_05]: in ease of being able to heat something up quickly
[01:10:57] [SPEAKER_05]: and eat it
[01:10:59] [SPEAKER_05]: I just don't see the
[01:11:01] [SPEAKER_05]: for me personally
[01:11:02] [SPEAKER_05]: the need to introduce
[01:11:04] [SPEAKER_05]: raw product
[01:11:05] [SPEAKER_05]: that I then have to reconstitute
[01:11:07] [SPEAKER_05]: that I have to be careful with
[01:11:08] [SPEAKER_05]: on the other end
[01:11:09] [SPEAKER_05]: and then I need to cook
[01:11:10] [SPEAKER_05]: that's all
[01:11:11] [SPEAKER_05]: so no I haven't
[01:11:12] [SPEAKER_05]: I probably won't
[01:11:13] [SPEAKER_05]: but Rachel if you do it again
[01:11:14] [SPEAKER_05]: I would love
[01:11:16] [SPEAKER_05]: to hear about your experience
[01:11:19] [SPEAKER_05]: and maybe if enough people ask
[01:11:20] [SPEAKER_05]: maybe we'll try it sometime
[01:11:21] [SPEAKER_05]: but for us
[01:11:22] [SPEAKER_05]: chicken breast has been
[01:11:24] [SPEAKER_05]: kind of like that stuff
[01:11:25] [SPEAKER_05]: you'd see in the store
[01:11:26] [SPEAKER_05]: chop it up
[01:11:27] [SPEAKER_05]: cook it
[01:11:28] [SPEAKER_05]: and then you have like
[01:11:30] [SPEAKER_05]: what I would call
[01:11:31] [SPEAKER_05]: stir fry chicken breasts
[01:11:32] [SPEAKER_05]: pieces like that
[01:11:33] [SPEAKER_05]: that's what we've been
[01:11:34] [SPEAKER_05]: freeze drying so far
[01:11:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Ellen is currently doing a heap
[01:11:38] [SPEAKER_05]: of dehydrating dog treats
[01:11:40] [SPEAKER_05]: saving up for a freeze dryer
[01:11:42] [SPEAKER_05]: they're expensive here
[01:11:43] [SPEAKER_05]: they're
[01:11:43] [SPEAKER_05]: they're not cheap
[01:11:45] [SPEAKER_05]: and again
[01:11:46] [SPEAKER_05]: I love talking about them
[01:11:47] [SPEAKER_05]: and I don't want anybody to
[01:11:48] [SPEAKER_05]: everything damn it
[01:11:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I need to run out and buy one
[01:11:50] [SPEAKER_05]: because you don't
[01:11:51] [SPEAKER_05]: everybody's at a different journey
[01:11:53] [SPEAKER_05]: I look back to 25 years ago
[01:11:55] [SPEAKER_05]: when I lived in that tiny
[01:11:56] [SPEAKER_05]: little second floor apartment
[01:11:57] [SPEAKER_05]: on Warwick Street
[01:11:58] [SPEAKER_05]: and Digby Nova Scotia
[01:12:00] [SPEAKER_05]: and I had like
[01:12:00] [SPEAKER_05]: two dozen jars of
[01:12:02] [SPEAKER_05]: strawberry jam and mustard pickles
[01:12:03] [SPEAKER_05]: and I thought
[01:12:04] [SPEAKER_05]: there
[01:12:04] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm prepared
[01:12:05] [SPEAKER_05]: and you know what
[01:12:06] [SPEAKER_05]: I was more prepared than
[01:12:08] [SPEAKER_05]: when I started
[01:12:09] [SPEAKER_05]: and dehydrating is more
[01:12:10] [SPEAKER_05]: prepared than when you
[01:12:11] [SPEAKER_05]: started
[01:12:11] [SPEAKER_05]: and all the other things
[01:12:12] [SPEAKER_05]: so don't ever feel like
[01:12:13] [SPEAKER_05]: you have to have one
[01:12:15] [SPEAKER_05]: but they are great
[01:12:16] [SPEAKER_05]: and there's other things
[01:12:17] [SPEAKER_05]: you could look at
[01:12:19] [SPEAKER_05]: you know
[01:12:20] [SPEAKER_05]: freeze drying candy
[01:12:20] [SPEAKER_05]: or dog treats
[01:12:21] [SPEAKER_05]: to sell to other people
[01:12:22] [SPEAKER_05]: or maybe going into
[01:12:23] [SPEAKER_05]: the group of folks
[01:12:24] [SPEAKER_05]: or you know what
[01:12:25] [SPEAKER_05]: maybe hiring someone else
[01:12:27] [SPEAKER_05]: to do it
[01:12:27] [SPEAKER_05]: or maybe not even bothering
[01:12:28] [SPEAKER_05]: you don't ever have to
[01:12:29] [SPEAKER_05]: Jeff says
[01:12:30] [SPEAKER_05]: have you ever tried
[01:12:31] [SPEAKER_05]: freeze dried chocolate
[01:12:33] [SPEAKER_05]: no I have not
[01:12:35] [SPEAKER_05]: or have you ever
[01:12:36] [SPEAKER_05]: freeze dried chocolate
[01:12:37] [SPEAKER_05]: not yet
[01:12:38] [SPEAKER_05]: but I will
[01:12:39] [SPEAKER_05]: I just don't know
[01:12:40] [SPEAKER_05]: excuse me
[01:12:42] [SPEAKER_05]: whether
[01:12:44] [SPEAKER_05]: there's any
[01:12:44] [SPEAKER_05]: any moisture in that to take out
[01:12:46] [SPEAKER_05]: what I did freeze dry
[01:12:48] [SPEAKER_05]: that I absolutely adored
[01:12:50] [SPEAKER_05]: was fudge sickles
[01:12:51] [SPEAKER_05]: I hope they call them that
[01:12:53] [SPEAKER_05]: in the States as well
[01:12:54] [SPEAKER_05]: but they're like a
[01:12:55] [SPEAKER_05]: a creamy chocolate popsicle
[01:12:56] [SPEAKER_05]: so I freeze dried
[01:12:58] [SPEAKER_05]: ice cream sandwiches
[01:12:59] [SPEAKER_05]: and fudge sickles
[01:13:00] [SPEAKER_05]: and I loved how
[01:13:02] [SPEAKER_05]: the fudge sickles turned out
[01:13:03] [SPEAKER_05]: we got a bunch of them
[01:13:03] [SPEAKER_05]: in the long term storage
[01:13:05] [SPEAKER_05]: once I get a bunch more
[01:13:06] [SPEAKER_05]: saved up there
[01:13:07] [SPEAKER_05]: I'll give you guys kind of
[01:13:08] [SPEAKER_05]: a tour of it
[01:13:08] [SPEAKER_05]: to show you what we've
[01:13:09] [SPEAKER_05]: what we've done
[01:13:10] [SPEAKER_05]: what else
[01:13:12] [SPEAKER_05]: I mentioned earlier
[01:13:12] [SPEAKER_05]: that I helped my daughter
[01:13:13] [SPEAKER_05]: troubleshoot her furnace
[01:13:15] [SPEAKER_05]: over the phone
[01:13:15] [SPEAKER_05]: which was exciting
[01:13:16] [SPEAKER_05]: because
[01:13:17] [SPEAKER_05]: I got so much faith in Gracie
[01:13:19] [SPEAKER_05]: she lost her poor
[01:13:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Elliot
[01:13:23] [SPEAKER_05]: he was a ferret
[01:13:24] [SPEAKER_05]: and he was eight years old
[01:13:25] [SPEAKER_05]: he passed away this week
[01:13:26] [SPEAKER_05]: and she
[01:13:26] [SPEAKER_05]: she loves her animals
[01:13:27] [SPEAKER_05]: so you know
[01:13:29] [SPEAKER_05]: God rest poor Elliot
[01:13:30] [SPEAKER_05]: he was getting pretty old
[01:13:31] [SPEAKER_05]: but she is such an
[01:13:32] [SPEAKER_05]: independent lady
[01:13:33] [SPEAKER_05]: got herself a new truck
[01:13:34] [SPEAKER_05]: and I'm really proud of her
[01:13:35] [SPEAKER_05]: so anytime she has troubles
[01:13:36] [SPEAKER_05]: with her house
[01:13:37] [SPEAKER_05]: I will gladly
[01:13:38] [SPEAKER_05]: talk her through over the phone
[01:13:39] [SPEAKER_05]: because I know that she is more
[01:13:41] [SPEAKER_05]: than capable of doing it
[01:13:42] [SPEAKER_05]: and it turned out
[01:13:43] [SPEAKER_05]: that her igniter had died
[01:13:44] [SPEAKER_05]: and we had to get the
[01:13:45] [SPEAKER_05]: after hours
[01:13:46] [SPEAKER_05]: furnace repair guy there
[01:13:47] [SPEAKER_05]: but we went through all the
[01:13:48] [SPEAKER_05]: things that it could have been
[01:13:49] [SPEAKER_05]: first
[01:13:50] [SPEAKER_05]: I installed and plumbed
[01:13:52] [SPEAKER_05]: a triple sink
[01:13:52] [SPEAKER_05]: a range hood
[01:13:53] [SPEAKER_05]: bulletin boards
[01:13:54] [SPEAKER_05]: shelves baby gates
[01:13:56] [SPEAKER_05]: and a whole bunch more
[01:13:57] [SPEAKER_05]: at the daycare up in Lloyd
[01:14:00] [SPEAKER_05]: we passed our health inspection
[01:14:02] [SPEAKER_05]: we
[01:14:03] [SPEAKER_05]: basically have passed
[01:14:04] [SPEAKER_05]: our building inspection
[01:14:05] [SPEAKER_05]: we're just waiting
[01:14:06] [SPEAKER_05]: for the paper to come in
[01:14:06] [SPEAKER_05]: there was no real issues
[01:14:07] [SPEAKER_05]: he just needed to make
[01:14:08] [SPEAKER_05]: the numbers match
[01:14:09] [SPEAKER_05]: you just have to give them what
[01:14:10] [SPEAKER_05]: they need
[01:14:11] [SPEAKER_05]: and then you deal with it
[01:14:13] [SPEAKER_05]: there you go
[01:14:14] [SPEAKER_05]: I also get to use
[01:14:16] [SPEAKER_05]: a tool that Becky got me for
[01:14:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Christmas
[01:14:17] [SPEAKER_05]: it's the DeWalt
[01:14:18] [SPEAKER_05]: cordless framing nailer
[01:14:20] [SPEAKER_05]: worked great
[01:14:21] [SPEAKER_05]: for framing up two by fours
[01:14:23] [SPEAKER_05]: was a little overpowered
[01:14:25] [SPEAKER_05]: for putting paneling
[01:14:26] [SPEAKER_05]: on said two by fours
[01:14:28] [SPEAKER_05]: you live
[01:14:28] [SPEAKER_05]: you learn
[01:14:30] [SPEAKER_05]: and I also
[01:14:31] [SPEAKER_05]: because
[01:14:32] [SPEAKER_05]: I needed it
[01:14:33] [SPEAKER_05]: and I was in a hurry
[01:14:34] [SPEAKER_05]: I picked up another little
[01:14:36] [SPEAKER_05]: DeWalt tool this week
[01:14:36] [SPEAKER_05]: at Home Depot
[01:14:37] [SPEAKER_05]: and I had a very important
[01:14:40] [SPEAKER_05]: need for it right at the moment
[01:14:41] [SPEAKER_05]: and it's a little tiny
[01:14:42] [SPEAKER_05]: three inch cutoff tool
[01:14:45] [SPEAKER_05]: it has what's basically
[01:14:46] [SPEAKER_05]: a mini angle grinding disc
[01:14:47] [SPEAKER_05]: but you can use it
[01:14:48] [SPEAKER_05]: for cutting metal
[01:14:48] [SPEAKER_05]: for cutting ceramics
[01:14:51] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know what else
[01:14:52] [SPEAKER_05]: anyway
[01:14:52] [SPEAKER_05]: I know I'm going to find
[01:14:53] [SPEAKER_05]: more uses for it
[01:14:54] [SPEAKER_05]: but what I needed to cut
[01:14:55] [SPEAKER_05]: was this
[01:14:56] [SPEAKER_05]: so about a 12 inch long
[01:14:57] [SPEAKER_05]: piece of brass
[01:14:59] [SPEAKER_05]: threaded tubing
[01:15:00] [SPEAKER_05]: that was the offset
[01:15:02] [SPEAKER_05]: for the triple sink
[01:15:03] [SPEAKER_05]: and I had no other tools
[01:15:05] [SPEAKER_05]: to do it
[01:15:05] [SPEAKER_05]: and I wasn't about to try
[01:15:06] [SPEAKER_05]: to cut it with a hacksaw
[01:15:07] [SPEAKER_05]: because it was hard
[01:15:08] [SPEAKER_05]: I tried it and it just wouldn't work
[01:15:09] [SPEAKER_05]: so it did it
[01:15:11] [SPEAKER_05]: it was what needed to be done
[01:15:13] [SPEAKER_05]: and now I got another
[01:15:15] [SPEAKER_05]: DeWalt tool to test out
[01:15:16] [SPEAKER_05]: and finally
[01:15:17] [SPEAKER_05]: the telephone pole hit me
[01:15:19] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean sorry
[01:15:19] [SPEAKER_05]: I hit a telephone pole
[01:15:21] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm trading my truck in this week
[01:15:23] [SPEAKER_05]: and we have this one
[01:15:24] [SPEAKER_05]: parking space
[01:15:25] [SPEAKER_05]: up at the Lloyd Daycare
[01:15:26] [SPEAKER_05]: that you have to pull in
[01:15:28] [SPEAKER_05]: do you guys know those
[01:15:29] [SPEAKER_05]: like support lines
[01:15:30] [SPEAKER_05]: that come down
[01:15:31] [SPEAKER_05]: from telephone poles
[01:15:32] [SPEAKER_05]: and they have that yellow sleeve
[01:15:33] [SPEAKER_05]: over them
[01:15:34] [SPEAKER_05]: to let you know they're there
[01:15:35] [SPEAKER_05]: well
[01:15:35] [SPEAKER_05]: there is a parking spot out back
[01:15:37] [SPEAKER_05]: where my truck fits just perfectly
[01:15:40] [SPEAKER_05]: and but I have to swing
[01:15:41] [SPEAKER_05]: to get out of the parking spot
[01:15:42] [SPEAKER_05]: and I had it in two wheel drive
[01:15:43] [SPEAKER_05]: and it had been a long day
[01:15:45] [SPEAKER_05]: again
[01:15:47] [SPEAKER_05]: not an excuse
[01:15:48] [SPEAKER_05]: just one of those things
[01:15:49] [SPEAKER_05]: that remember
[01:15:50] [SPEAKER_05]: when you're tired
[01:15:50] [SPEAKER_05]: it's been a long day
[01:15:51] [SPEAKER_05]: takes an extra minute
[01:15:52] [SPEAKER_05]: to think about it
[01:15:53] [SPEAKER_05]: so I just gave it
[01:15:54] [SPEAKER_05]: a little bit of gas
[01:15:54] [SPEAKER_05]: and when I did
[01:15:55] [SPEAKER_05]: my ass end slid around
[01:15:56] [SPEAKER_05]: and
[01:15:57] [SPEAKER_05]: boom
[01:15:57] [SPEAKER_05]: right up against
[01:15:58] [SPEAKER_05]: the side of the truck
[01:16:00] [SPEAKER_05]: didn't really make any
[01:16:01] [SPEAKER_05]: damage
[01:16:02] [SPEAKER_05]: it just put a nice big
[01:16:04] [SPEAKER_05]: basketball size
[01:16:05] [SPEAKER_05]: dead
[01:16:05] [SPEAKER_05]: in the box panel
[01:16:07] [SPEAKER_05]: so I'm going to try to pull that out
[01:16:09] [SPEAKER_05]: today because
[01:16:10] [SPEAKER_05]: the new trucks coming in
[01:16:11] [SPEAKER_05]: a couple of days
[01:16:12] [SPEAKER_05]: we're going to have
[01:16:13] [SPEAKER_05]: the workshop logo
[01:16:14] [SPEAKER_05]: put on it
[01:16:14] [SPEAKER_05]: for a head south
[01:16:15] [SPEAKER_05]: and there you go
[01:16:16] [SPEAKER_05]: so just don't do stupid
[01:16:18] [SPEAKER_05]: things with your truck
[01:16:18] [SPEAKER_05]: if you can help it
[01:16:19] [SPEAKER_05]: because
[01:16:19] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm good like that
[01:16:22] [SPEAKER_05]: all right
[01:16:23] [SPEAKER_05]: next
[01:16:24] [SPEAKER_05]: we have
[01:16:26] [SPEAKER_01]: the apocalypse
[01:16:27] [SPEAKER_01]: it's the apocalypse
[01:16:28] [SPEAKER_01]: in of day
[01:16:30] [SPEAKER_01]: the judgment
[01:16:30] [SPEAKER_01]: the judgment day
[01:16:31] [SPEAKER_01]: the in of the world
[01:16:32] [SPEAKER_01]: my friend
[01:16:33] [SPEAKER_01]: let's dig in
[01:16:34] [SPEAKER_05]: let's dig in community
[01:16:35] [SPEAKER_05]: mail bag
[01:16:36] [SPEAKER_05]: mail bag
[01:16:37] [SPEAKER_05]: so next we'll take a look
[01:16:38] [SPEAKER_05]: at what the community
[01:16:39] [SPEAKER_05]: sent me this week
[01:16:41] [SPEAKER_05]: but before we do that
[01:16:41] [SPEAKER_05]: let's pop back into the community here
[01:16:43] [SPEAKER_05]: community comments
[01:16:45] [SPEAKER_05]: Jeff Stark said
[01:16:45] [SPEAKER_05]: chocolate maybe turns into
[01:16:47] [SPEAKER_05]: powdered chocolate
[01:16:47] [SPEAKER_05]: for your powdered milk
[01:16:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I'd be willing to try it
[01:16:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Rachel C says
[01:16:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Jeff I haven't tried
[01:16:54] [SPEAKER_05]: freeze dried chocolate
[01:16:55] [SPEAKER_05]: but I've looked into
[01:16:56] [SPEAKER_05]: storing chocolate
[01:16:57] [SPEAKER_05]: and a good suggestion
[01:16:57] [SPEAKER_05]: I ended up finding was
[01:16:58] [SPEAKER_05]: to get M&Ms
[01:16:59] [SPEAKER_05]: milk chocolate
[01:17:00] [SPEAKER_05]: not peanut
[01:17:00] [SPEAKER_05]: it'll go rancid
[01:17:02] [SPEAKER_05]: make sense
[01:17:03] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah
[01:17:03] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't mind that
[01:17:04] [SPEAKER_05]: the thick candy shell
[01:17:07] [SPEAKER_05]: apparently makes them
[01:17:08] [SPEAKER_05]: store for many many years
[01:17:10] [SPEAKER_05]: without serious degradation
[01:17:11] [SPEAKER_05]: as long as they don't melt
[01:17:12] [SPEAKER_05]: I got them in snack size
[01:17:14] [SPEAKER_05]: in bulk
[01:17:14] [SPEAKER_05]: then into mylar with O2
[01:17:16] [SPEAKER_05]: absorber
[01:17:17] [SPEAKER_05]: not a bad idea at all
[01:17:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I do like that
[01:17:19] [SPEAKER_05]: and where my stuff goes
[01:17:21] [SPEAKER_05]: in the basement here
[01:17:21] [SPEAKER_05]: it's never going to get hot
[01:17:23] [SPEAKER_05]: enough for anything to melt
[01:17:24] [SPEAKER_05]: either
[01:17:24] [SPEAKER_05]: so that would actually
[01:17:25] [SPEAKER_05]: work out pretty good
[01:17:27] [SPEAKER_05]: all right
[01:17:27] [SPEAKER_05]: so let's dip into the
[01:17:28] [SPEAKER_05]: community mail bag
[01:17:29] [SPEAKER_05]: and see what we have this week
[01:17:31] [SPEAKER_05]: number one
[01:17:32] [SPEAKER_05]: this one comes from
[01:17:35] [SPEAKER_05]: debt oh man
[01:17:36] [SPEAKER_05]: these youtube usernames
[01:17:37] [SPEAKER_05]: you know
[01:17:38] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm like an old man
[01:17:39] [SPEAKER_05]: trying to
[01:17:39] [SPEAKER_05]: you know
[01:17:40] [SPEAKER_05]: do a tick tock dance
[01:17:41] [SPEAKER_05]: or something
[01:17:42] [SPEAKER_05]: I just
[01:17:42] [SPEAKER_05]: I can't make my tongue
[01:17:43] [SPEAKER_05]: work this way
[01:17:44] [SPEAKER_05]: but Dean Saka
[01:17:45] [SPEAKER_05]: 781
[01:17:47] [SPEAKER_05]: said
[01:17:47] [SPEAKER_05]: this was a great comment
[01:17:49] [SPEAKER_05]: and I want to share
[01:17:49] [SPEAKER_05]: what they say
[01:17:50] [SPEAKER_05]: he goes
[01:17:51] [SPEAKER_05]: how in the world
[01:17:52] [SPEAKER_05]: has this podcast
[01:17:53] [SPEAKER_05]: not been viewed
[01:17:53] [SPEAKER_05]: more is beyond me
[01:17:55] [SPEAKER_05]: he said
[01:17:55] [SPEAKER_05]: anyone with two brain cells
[01:17:57] [SPEAKER_05]: should be listening
[01:17:57] [SPEAKER_05]: to this channel
[01:17:58] [SPEAKER_05]: and especially James
[01:17:59] [SPEAKER_05]: Wesley Rawls
[01:18:00] [SPEAKER_05]: that was the interview
[01:18:02] [SPEAKER_05]: I did with the guy who
[01:18:03] [SPEAKER_05]: authored Patriots
[01:18:05] [SPEAKER_05]: now
[01:18:06] [SPEAKER_05]: the reason
[01:18:06] [SPEAKER_05]: he didn't see any views
[01:18:08] [SPEAKER_05]: on this interview
[01:18:09] [SPEAKER_05]: was youtube
[01:18:10] [SPEAKER_05]: launched a new feature
[01:18:11] [SPEAKER_05]: this week
[01:18:12] [SPEAKER_05]: and
[01:18:13] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to share it
[01:18:13] [SPEAKER_05]: for a few people
[01:18:14] [SPEAKER_05]: so you know what's going on
[01:18:15] [SPEAKER_05]: but
[01:18:15] [SPEAKER_05]: I've been really impressed
[01:18:17] [SPEAKER_05]: with the feature
[01:18:17] [SPEAKER_05]: YouTube has been launching
[01:18:18] [SPEAKER_05]: and
[01:18:19] [SPEAKER_05]: if you're a content creator
[01:18:21] [SPEAKER_05]: trying to stay
[01:18:22] [SPEAKER_05]: on the bleeding
[01:18:22] [SPEAKER_05]: leading edge
[01:18:23] [SPEAKER_05]: of whatever they're bringing
[01:18:25] [SPEAKER_05]: out
[01:18:25] [SPEAKER_05]: is the best way
[01:18:26] [SPEAKER_05]: to grow your channel
[01:18:27] [SPEAKER_05]: quickly
[01:18:27] [SPEAKER_05]: because
[01:18:28] [SPEAKER_05]: whenever they bring out
[01:18:29] [SPEAKER_05]: a new feature
[01:18:30] [SPEAKER_05]: it's going to be something
[01:18:31] [SPEAKER_05]: that they
[01:18:31] [SPEAKER_05]: are going to push
[01:18:33] [SPEAKER_05]: so
[01:18:33] [SPEAKER_05]: YouTube has now allowed you
[01:18:35] [SPEAKER_05]: to link your
[01:18:36] [SPEAKER_05]: RSS feed
[01:18:39] [SPEAKER_05]: I can't remember what that stands for
[01:18:40] [SPEAKER_05]: it's really simple something
[01:18:41] [SPEAKER_05]: and
[01:18:42] [SPEAKER_05]: it's for sharing
[01:18:44] [SPEAKER_05]: that it's the way
[01:18:45] [SPEAKER_05]: that you subscribe
[01:18:46] [SPEAKER_05]: to a podcast
[01:18:47] [SPEAKER_05]: so you basically link
[01:18:48] [SPEAKER_05]: to the RSS feed
[01:18:48] [SPEAKER_05]: now
[01:18:49] [SPEAKER_05]: if you want to see
[01:18:50] [SPEAKER_05]: past live streams
[01:18:52] [SPEAKER_05]: they're all on my
[01:18:53] [SPEAKER_05]: YouTube channel
[01:18:53] [SPEAKER_05]: however
[01:18:54] [SPEAKER_05]: tons of people
[01:18:55] [SPEAKER_05]: like
[01:18:56] [SPEAKER_05]: just
[01:18:57] [SPEAKER_05]: the audio end of things
[01:18:58] [SPEAKER_05]: and they listen
[01:18:59] [SPEAKER_05]: to my podcast
[01:19:00] [SPEAKER_05]: via
[01:19:00] [SPEAKER_05]: podcast feeds
[01:19:01] [SPEAKER_05]: all over the place
[01:19:02] [SPEAKER_05]: so now
[01:19:03] [SPEAKER_05]: what YouTube will do
[01:19:04] [SPEAKER_05]: is they will pull
[01:19:05] [SPEAKER_05]: my audio feed
[01:19:06] [SPEAKER_05]: from my podcast feed
[01:19:07] [SPEAKER_05]: they will create a
[01:19:08] [SPEAKER_05]: quote unquote
[01:19:09] [SPEAKER_05]: video
[01:19:09] [SPEAKER_05]: with a static image
[01:19:10] [SPEAKER_05]: so that you can
[01:19:11] [SPEAKER_05]: listen
[01:19:12] [SPEAKER_05]: to my podcast
[01:19:13] [SPEAKER_05]: via a YouTube
[01:19:14] [SPEAKER_05]: really simple syndication
[01:19:16] [SPEAKER_05]: thank you
[01:19:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Cabot Porter
[01:19:17] [SPEAKER_05]: appreciate that
[01:19:18] [SPEAKER_05]: so
[01:19:20] [SPEAKER_05]: now
[01:19:21] [SPEAKER_05]: you can go on there
[01:19:22] [SPEAKER_05]: and
[01:19:24] [SPEAKER_05]: you can
[01:19:24] [SPEAKER_05]: listen to my audio
[01:19:26] [SPEAKER_05]: so there's now
[01:19:27] [SPEAKER_05]: going to be a whole feed
[01:19:27] [SPEAKER_05]: there is a feed
[01:19:28] [SPEAKER_05]: that has
[01:19:28] [SPEAKER_05]: 427 episodes
[01:19:30] [SPEAKER_05]: of just audio files
[01:19:31] [SPEAKER_05]: that have turned into
[01:19:32] [SPEAKER_05]: really simple videos
[01:19:34] [SPEAKER_05]: and YouTube's pushing them
[01:19:35] [SPEAKER_05]: like crazy
[01:19:36] [SPEAKER_05]: so the playlist
[01:19:37] [SPEAKER_05]: has been up for
[01:19:38] [SPEAKER_05]: a day or two
[01:19:39] [SPEAKER_05]: and
[01:19:40] [SPEAKER_05]: I believe
[01:19:41] [SPEAKER_05]: as of this morning
[01:19:42] [SPEAKER_05]: there was maybe
[01:19:43] [SPEAKER_05]: I maybe picked up
[01:19:44] [SPEAKER_05]: three or four hundred
[01:19:45] [SPEAKER_05]: listens
[01:19:46] [SPEAKER_05]: on absolutely
[01:19:47] [SPEAKER_05]: old old stuff
[01:19:48] [SPEAKER_05]: so
[01:19:49] [SPEAKER_05]: kind of cool
[01:19:50] [SPEAKER_04]: let's take
[01:19:56] [SPEAKER_05]: a real platform
[01:19:57] [SPEAKER_05]: for your audio
[01:19:58] [SPEAKER_05]: only stuff to come out
[01:20:00] [SPEAKER_05]: and get done
[01:20:01] [SPEAKER_05]: okay
[01:20:01] [SPEAKER_05]: 427 views
[01:20:03] [SPEAKER_05]: on old content
[01:20:04] [SPEAKER_05]: that wasn't getting views
[01:20:06] [SPEAKER_05]: previously
[01:20:06] [SPEAKER_05]: so if that gives you
[01:20:07] [SPEAKER_05]: an idea
[01:20:08] [SPEAKER_05]: I love the idea
[01:20:09] [SPEAKER_05]: if you're looking for
[01:20:11] [SPEAKER_05]: if you like using YouTube
[01:20:12] [SPEAKER_05]: and yes
[01:20:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Bonnie Blue wants to know
[01:20:14] [SPEAKER_05]: if I'm on the fountain
[01:20:15] [SPEAKER_05]: podcast platform
[01:20:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I absolutely 100% am
[01:20:18] [SPEAKER_05]: and
[01:20:19] [SPEAKER_05]: so here's the other thing
[01:20:20] [SPEAKER_05]: of course YouTube's
[01:20:21] [SPEAKER_05]: going to run ads
[01:20:22] [SPEAKER_05]: on that kind of stuff
[01:20:23] [SPEAKER_05]: so it's going to introduce
[01:20:24] [SPEAKER_05]: yet another
[01:20:25] [SPEAKER_05]: small portion
[01:20:27] [SPEAKER_05]: of ad dollars
[01:20:28] [SPEAKER_05]: that goes into
[01:20:30] [SPEAKER_05]: the workshop pot
[01:20:30] [SPEAKER_05]: so I'm excited about that
[01:20:32] [SPEAKER_05]: again
[01:20:33] [SPEAKER_05]: anytime I can reuse old content
[01:20:35] [SPEAKER_05]: because new people
[01:20:36] [SPEAKER_05]: come to the community
[01:20:37] [SPEAKER_05]: all the time
[01:20:37] [SPEAKER_05]: and this is going to be a
[01:20:38] [SPEAKER_05]: great way
[01:20:39] [SPEAKER_05]: to get workshop radio
[01:20:40] [SPEAKER_05]: in the ear holes of folks
[01:20:42] [SPEAKER_05]: who haven't found it before
[01:20:43] [SPEAKER_05]: all right
[01:20:45] [SPEAKER_05]: next comes from
[01:20:46] [SPEAKER_05]: another YouTube comment
[01:20:47] [SPEAKER_05]: a user called Sammy Phi
[01:20:50] [SPEAKER_05]: and it's just a great quote
[01:20:52] [SPEAKER_05]: it was shared
[01:20:53] [SPEAKER_05]: I believe on one of my shorts
[01:20:55] [SPEAKER_05]: and they said
[01:20:55] [SPEAKER_05]: a successful man is one
[01:20:58] [SPEAKER_05]: you ready
[01:20:59] [SPEAKER_05]: who can lay a firm foundation
[01:21:00] [SPEAKER_05]: with the bricks
[01:21:01] [SPEAKER_05]: that others have thrown at him
[01:21:04] [SPEAKER_05]: quote by David Brinkley
[01:21:05] [SPEAKER_05]: and I love that
[01:21:06] [SPEAKER_05]: because
[01:21:08] [SPEAKER_05]: this was quoted
[01:21:09] [SPEAKER_05]: in response to somebody's
[01:21:11] [SPEAKER_05]: negative comment
[01:21:11] [SPEAKER_05]: bullshit on YouTube
[01:21:13] [SPEAKER_05]: who knows
[01:21:14] [SPEAKER_05]: and I want to tell you
[01:21:15] [SPEAKER_05]: as a content creator
[01:21:16] [SPEAKER_05]: and as anybody
[01:21:16] [SPEAKER_05]: who ever puts themselves out
[01:21:18] [SPEAKER_05]: there
[01:21:18] [SPEAKER_05]: you're going to have a lot
[01:21:19] [SPEAKER_05]: of bricks thrown at you
[01:21:20] [SPEAKER_05]: but you know what
[01:21:21] [SPEAKER_05]: pick them up
[01:21:21] [SPEAKER_05]: and build a bomb shelter
[01:21:23] [SPEAKER_05]: out of them
[01:21:23] [SPEAKER_05]: because
[01:21:24] [SPEAKER_05]: frig them right
[01:21:25] [SPEAKER_05]: we don't need to worry
[01:21:26] [SPEAKER_05]: about it
[01:21:26] [SPEAKER_05]: but what a great
[01:21:27] [SPEAKER_05]: inspirational quote
[01:21:28] [SPEAKER_05]: so remember that
[01:21:28] [SPEAKER_05]: anytime somebody throws a brick
[01:21:30] [SPEAKER_05]: at you
[01:21:30] [SPEAKER_05]: they're giving you free
[01:21:31] [SPEAKER_05]: building supplies
[01:21:32] [SPEAKER_05]: James Nelson 1968 says
[01:21:35] [SPEAKER_05]: gamma lids
[01:21:36] [SPEAKER_05]: this is in response to
[01:21:37] [SPEAKER_05]: last week's long-term
[01:21:38] [SPEAKER_05]: food storage video
[01:21:39] [SPEAKER_05]: and I really try hard
[01:21:43] [SPEAKER_05]: for my review
[01:21:44] [SPEAKER_05]: slash informational videos
[01:21:45] [SPEAKER_05]: to stay
[01:21:46] [SPEAKER_05]: in that five to 10 minute range
[01:21:48] [SPEAKER_05]: that is the sweet spot for
[01:21:50] [SPEAKER_05]: you know
[01:21:51] [SPEAKER_05]: information to brevity
[01:21:52] [SPEAKER_05]: and so some stuff gets
[01:21:55] [SPEAKER_05]: dropped to the cutting room
[01:21:56] [SPEAKER_05]: floor
[01:21:56] [SPEAKER_05]: and two things that didn't
[01:21:57] [SPEAKER_05]: make it into
[01:21:58] [SPEAKER_05]: last week's video
[01:21:59] [SPEAKER_05]: were gamma lids
[01:22:00] [SPEAKER_05]: and a discussion of salt
[01:22:02] [SPEAKER_05]: they'll both be in
[01:22:03] [SPEAKER_05]: future episodes
[01:22:04] [SPEAKER_05]: gamma lids are more expensive
[01:22:06] [SPEAKER_05]: but they are far better
[01:22:07] [SPEAKER_05]: than the standard
[01:22:08] [SPEAKER_05]: five gallon bucket lids
[01:22:09] [SPEAKER_05]: I've been doing this for a while
[01:22:11] [SPEAKER_05]: and one
[01:22:12] [SPEAKER_05]: I think that is a valuable addition
[01:22:14] [SPEAKER_05]: to your
[01:22:15] [SPEAKER_05]: bland rice and beans
[01:22:16] [SPEAKER_05]: is bulk bouillon
[01:22:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't disagree at all
[01:22:19] [SPEAKER_05]: not expensive
[01:22:20] [SPEAKER_05]: and can add a lot of flavor
[01:22:22] [SPEAKER_05]: I am well past
[01:22:22] [SPEAKER_05]: storing the bulk starches
[01:22:24] [SPEAKER_05]: for my own use
[01:22:24] [SPEAKER_05]: but I have neighbors
[01:22:25] [SPEAKER_05]: who prep only
[01:22:26] [SPEAKER_05]: a little if at all
[01:22:27] [SPEAKER_05]: feeding them is better
[01:22:28] [SPEAKER_05]: than shooting them
[01:22:29] [SPEAKER_05]: trading them something
[01:22:30] [SPEAKER_05]: I won't eat anyway
[01:22:31] [SPEAKER_05]: is a cheap safety measure
[01:22:33] [SPEAKER_05]: 100%
[01:22:34] [SPEAKER_05]: absolutely
[01:22:35] [SPEAKER_05]: and I love that
[01:22:36] [SPEAKER_05]: so
[01:22:36] [SPEAKER_05]: a few thoughts there
[01:22:37] [SPEAKER_05]: yes
[01:22:38] [SPEAKER_05]: if you don't know
[01:22:38] [SPEAKER_05]: what gamma lids are
[01:22:40] [SPEAKER_05]: they are a two part lid
[01:22:41] [SPEAKER_05]: that snaps onto
[01:22:42] [SPEAKER_05]: an existing five gallon
[01:22:43] [SPEAKER_05]: bucket
[01:22:43] [SPEAKER_05]: so it gives you a rim
[01:22:44] [SPEAKER_05]: around the top
[01:22:45] [SPEAKER_05]: and then a double gasket
[01:22:46] [SPEAKER_05]: it
[01:22:46] [SPEAKER_05]: tightened down
[01:22:48] [SPEAKER_05]: screwed down lid
[01:22:48] [SPEAKER_05]: which makes it
[01:22:49] [SPEAKER_05]: much easier to open
[01:22:51] [SPEAKER_05]: 10 or 20 years
[01:22:52] [SPEAKER_05]: down the road
[01:22:52] [SPEAKER_05]: when you're ready
[01:22:53] [SPEAKER_05]: to dig into your bulk
[01:22:54] [SPEAKER_05]: long term food storage
[01:22:56] [SPEAKER_05]: but it damn near
[01:22:57] [SPEAKER_05]: doubles
[01:22:58] [SPEAKER_05]: or does double the cost
[01:23:00] [SPEAKER_05]: of your buckets
[01:23:02] [SPEAKER_05]: now
[01:23:03] [SPEAKER_05]: the other thing
[01:23:03] [SPEAKER_05]: bulk bullion
[01:23:04] [SPEAKER_05]: love it
[01:23:05] [SPEAKER_05]: we don't have five gallon buckets
[01:23:06] [SPEAKER_05]: but we do buy these like
[01:23:07] [SPEAKER_05]: half gallon
[01:23:09] [SPEAKER_05]: containers from Costco
[01:23:11] [SPEAKER_05]: actually
[01:23:12] [SPEAKER_05]: I digress
[01:23:13] [SPEAKER_05]: we do have a five gallon bucket
[01:23:15] [SPEAKER_05]: of one of the bullions
[01:23:16] [SPEAKER_05]: so yeah
[01:23:16] [SPEAKER_05]: we love bullion
[01:23:17] [SPEAKER_05]: it is one of the most versatile
[01:23:19] [SPEAKER_05]: things just
[01:23:20] [SPEAKER_05]: just think about it
[01:23:21] [SPEAKER_05]: fry yourself up
[01:23:22] [SPEAKER_05]: some mushrooms and butter
[01:23:23] [SPEAKER_05]: and throw a little bit of beef
[01:23:25] [SPEAKER_05]: for chicken bullion
[01:23:26] [SPEAKER_05]: on top of that
[01:23:26] [SPEAKER_05]: and it just
[01:23:27] [SPEAKER_05]: adds to it
[01:23:28] [SPEAKER_05]: anything you want to do
[01:23:29] [SPEAKER_05]: a little bit of bullion
[01:23:30] [SPEAKER_05]: never hurts things
[01:23:32] [SPEAKER_05]: what do we got here
[01:23:33] [SPEAKER_05]: ran
[01:23:33] [SPEAKER_05]: back to the comments
[01:23:35] [SPEAKER_05]: Ellen curses
[01:23:36] [SPEAKER_05]: random fact about Australia
[01:23:37] [SPEAKER_05]: we don't have basements
[01:23:38] [SPEAKER_05]: so I'm envious
[01:23:39] [SPEAKER_05]: about those who do
[01:23:41] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm sorry Ellen
[01:23:42] [SPEAKER_05]: I yeah
[01:23:43] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know
[01:23:44] [SPEAKER_05]: I wish I could
[01:23:44] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know what to do for you
[01:23:46] [SPEAKER_05]: but
[01:23:46] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah basements are
[01:23:48] [SPEAKER_05]: they're a bonus
[01:23:49] [SPEAKER_05]: where you live
[01:23:50] [SPEAKER_05]: something that I discovered
[01:23:51] [SPEAKER_05]: when I moved to the prairies
[01:23:52] [SPEAKER_05]: is
[01:23:53] [SPEAKER_05]: who some basements here
[01:23:55] [SPEAKER_05]: made out of pressure
[01:23:55] [SPEAKER_05]: treated lumber
[01:23:56] [SPEAKER_05]: and
[01:23:56] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't think I'd want to
[01:23:58] [SPEAKER_05]: trust my basement to lumber
[01:24:00] [SPEAKER_05]: because
[01:24:01] [SPEAKER_05]: the ones that I've looked at
[01:24:02] [SPEAKER_05]: on houses that I've
[01:24:03] [SPEAKER_05]: repowed for the bank
[01:24:04] [SPEAKER_05]: over the years
[01:24:05] [SPEAKER_05]: that water tends to run in
[01:24:07] [SPEAKER_05]: and run right back out
[01:24:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Rachel says
[01:24:09] [SPEAKER_05]: Ellen in South East North Carolina
[01:24:11] [SPEAKER_05]: we don't have basements either
[01:24:12] [SPEAKER_05]: it's
[01:24:13] [SPEAKER_05]: awful to not have a protected
[01:24:14] [SPEAKER_05]: naturally cool area
[01:24:15] [SPEAKER_05]: to store things
[01:24:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm determined to get something
[01:24:18] [SPEAKER_05]: a storm shelter maybe
[01:24:19] [SPEAKER_05]: I can build a hill around
[01:24:20] [SPEAKER_05]: to try to get the same effect
[01:24:22] [SPEAKER_05]: yes
[01:24:22] [SPEAKER_05]: or
[01:24:25] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah I guess
[01:24:26] [SPEAKER_05]: the hill would give you thermal mass
[01:24:27] [SPEAKER_05]: to help keep things cool
[01:24:29] [SPEAKER_05]: but if you're just looking for
[01:24:30] [SPEAKER_05]: protection and storage
[01:24:32] [SPEAKER_05]: you know
[01:24:32] [SPEAKER_05]: an above ground
[01:24:34] [SPEAKER_05]: steel
[01:24:35] [SPEAKER_05]: or a steel reinforced
[01:24:36] [SPEAKER_05]: concrete structure
[01:24:37] [SPEAKER_05]: would do the same thing as well
[01:24:39] [SPEAKER_05]: and
[01:24:40] [SPEAKER_05]: Cabot said
[01:24:41] [SPEAKER_05]: did you say you were going to test
[01:24:42] [SPEAKER_05]: the home depot
[01:24:42] [SPEAKER_05]: low screw on lids
[01:24:43] [SPEAKER_05]: that look a lot like
[01:24:44] [SPEAKER_05]: Camelids?
[01:24:45] [SPEAKER_05]: Well I didn't have a plan
[01:24:46] [SPEAKER_05]: but
[01:24:47] [SPEAKER_05]: I think that's a great idea
[01:24:48] [SPEAKER_05]: so what I'm going to do
[01:24:49] [SPEAKER_05]: is I'm going to take a screenshot
[01:24:50] [SPEAKER_05]: of that right now
[01:24:51] [SPEAKER_05]: so that I don't forget
[01:24:52] [SPEAKER_05]: if nothing else
[01:24:53] [SPEAKER_05]: that would make some really good
[01:24:54] [SPEAKER_05]: short content
[01:24:55] [SPEAKER_05]: so
[01:24:56] [SPEAKER_05]: and Bonnie B
[01:24:56] [SPEAKER_05]: Bonnie Blue says
[01:24:58] [SPEAKER_05]: what about a spring house
[01:24:59] [SPEAKER_05]: if you have a spring on your property
[01:25:00] [SPEAKER_05]: I always wanted to have
[01:25:02] [SPEAKER_05]: well
[01:25:02] [SPEAKER_05]: back when Becky and I were very
[01:25:04] [SPEAKER_05]: first married
[01:25:05] [SPEAKER_05]: in Nova Scotia
[01:25:06] [SPEAKER_05]: it's very common to have dug wells
[01:25:07] [SPEAKER_05]: so on the prairies
[01:25:08] [SPEAKER_05]: nobody has dug wells
[01:25:09] [SPEAKER_05]: because the water table is
[01:25:10] [SPEAKER_05]: you know hundreds of feet below
[01:25:12] [SPEAKER_05]: ground
[01:25:12] [SPEAKER_05]: so you have those drilled wells
[01:25:13] [SPEAKER_05]: with great big 200
[01:25:14] [SPEAKER_05]: or 240 volt pumps
[01:25:17] [SPEAKER_05]: well for
[01:25:18] [SPEAKER_05]: in
[01:25:20] [SPEAKER_05]: Marshalltown where we lived
[01:25:21] [SPEAKER_05]: our dug well
[01:25:22] [SPEAKER_05]: was actually in the basement
[01:25:24] [SPEAKER_05]: of the house
[01:25:24] [SPEAKER_05]: which naturally cooled it
[01:25:25] [SPEAKER_05]: kept it a little humid
[01:25:27] [SPEAKER_05]: but we never really tapped into that
[01:25:29] [SPEAKER_05]: resource per se
[01:25:30] [SPEAKER_05]: it was weird though
[01:25:30] [SPEAKER_05]: because the next door
[01:25:31] [SPEAKER_05]: neighbors house
[01:25:32] [SPEAKER_05]: shared the well with us
[01:25:33] [SPEAKER_05]: but I always wanted to have a well
[01:25:35] [SPEAKER_05]: in the basement
[01:25:35] [SPEAKER_05]: or something
[01:25:36] [SPEAKER_05]: a spring house like that
[01:25:37] [SPEAKER_05]: so there you go
[01:25:38] [SPEAKER_05]: now one more thing
[01:25:39] [SPEAKER_05]: that we're going to kind of
[01:25:41] [SPEAKER_05]: incorporate into the community
[01:25:42] [SPEAKER_05]: nail bag
[01:25:43] [SPEAKER_05]: as time goes on
[01:25:45] [SPEAKER_05]: if you've been over
[01:25:45] [SPEAKER_05]: to the YouTube channel
[01:25:46] [SPEAKER_05]: lately
[01:25:46] [SPEAKER_05]: you'll notice I'm starting to run
[01:25:48] [SPEAKER_05]: some community engagement
[01:25:49] [SPEAKER_05]: polls over there
[01:25:50] [SPEAKER_05]: because I love them
[01:25:51] [SPEAKER_05]: I love getting the comments
[01:25:52] [SPEAKER_05]: from folks
[01:25:53] [SPEAKER_05]: it gets the channel in front
[01:25:54] [SPEAKER_05]: of new eyeballs again
[01:25:56] [SPEAKER_05]: and it gives me an idea of
[01:25:58] [SPEAKER_05]: where our community stands on
[01:26:00] [SPEAKER_05]: things
[01:26:00] [SPEAKER_05]: so what I'm going to do is pick
[01:26:01] [SPEAKER_05]: two or three
[01:26:02] [SPEAKER_05]: polls each week
[01:26:03] [SPEAKER_05]: and I'll share the results with
[01:26:04] [SPEAKER_05]: you and you guys can give me
[01:26:05] [SPEAKER_05]: your answers
[01:26:06] [SPEAKER_05]: in the live stream here
[01:26:07] [SPEAKER_05]: if you think about it as well
[01:26:09] [SPEAKER_05]: number one
[01:26:09] [SPEAKER_05]: this one was a simple one
[01:26:11] [SPEAKER_05]: and something near and dear to
[01:26:12] [SPEAKER_05]: my heart
[01:26:13] [SPEAKER_05]: but I asked folks
[01:26:14] [SPEAKER_05]: what is the tool
[01:26:15] [SPEAKER_05]: that you grab
[01:26:16] [SPEAKER_05]: and use the most
[01:26:17] [SPEAKER_05]: so third place
[01:26:19] [SPEAKER_05]: was a hammer
[01:26:19] [SPEAKER_05]: at 12 percent
[01:26:21] [SPEAKER_05]: socket set
[01:26:22] [SPEAKER_05]: at 23 percent
[01:26:23] [SPEAKER_05]: and my absolute favorite
[01:26:25] [SPEAKER_05]: was an impact driver
[01:26:26] [SPEAKER_05]: at 62 percent
[01:26:27] [SPEAKER_05]: we ended up getting 86 votes on that
[01:26:30] [SPEAKER_05]: I love how many people are
[01:26:32] [SPEAKER_05]: getting involved
[01:26:33] [SPEAKER_05]: in some of these
[01:26:35] [SPEAKER_05]: I didn't put the votes
[01:26:36] [SPEAKER_05]: but the next two had
[01:26:38] [SPEAKER_05]: nearly a hundred a piece
[01:26:40] [SPEAKER_05]: and I wanted to hear this
[01:26:41] [SPEAKER_05]: I was quite excited to hear
[01:26:42] [SPEAKER_05]: people's responses to this
[01:26:44] [SPEAKER_05]: how long
[01:26:45] [SPEAKER_05]: and if you guys want to throw
[01:26:46] [SPEAKER_05]: it there as well
[01:26:46] [SPEAKER_05]: how long have you been a prepper
[01:26:49] [SPEAKER_05]: the first one
[01:26:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I am brand new
[01:26:50] [SPEAKER_05]: 19 percent
[01:26:52] [SPEAKER_05]: so basically a fifth
[01:26:53] [SPEAKER_05]: of all people
[01:26:53] [SPEAKER_05]: coming to the workshop channel
[01:26:55] [SPEAKER_05]: have are just brand new preppers
[01:26:57] [SPEAKER_05]: which means
[01:26:58] [SPEAKER_05]: I need to do my due diligence
[01:26:59] [SPEAKER_05]: to talk about the
[01:27:00] [SPEAKER_05]: the basics
[01:27:01] [SPEAKER_05]: as much as I need to talk about
[01:27:03] [SPEAKER_05]: the intermediate
[01:27:03] [SPEAKER_05]: and the advanced
[01:27:05] [SPEAKER_05]: less than 10 years
[01:27:07] [SPEAKER_05]: folks so people who've been
[01:27:08] [SPEAKER_05]: prepping for about a decade is
[01:27:10] [SPEAKER_05]: a quarter 23 percent
[01:27:12] [SPEAKER_05]: less than five years
[01:27:13] [SPEAKER_05]: so they're relatively new
[01:27:14] [SPEAKER_05]: but they've been doing it a while
[01:27:15] [SPEAKER_05]: 28 percent
[01:27:17] [SPEAKER_05]: and at 30 percent
[01:27:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I was born a prepper
[01:27:21] [SPEAKER_05]: I got
[01:27:22] [SPEAKER_05]: uh yeah you know
[01:27:23] [SPEAKER_05]: I wake up and watch red dawn
[01:27:25] [SPEAKER_05]: every single morning
[01:27:26] [SPEAKER_05]: and I exercise
[01:27:28] [SPEAKER_05]: in my underground bomb shot
[01:27:29] [SPEAKER_05]: but no 30 percent of the folks
[01:27:31] [SPEAKER_05]: coming to the channel
[01:27:32] [SPEAKER_05]: were born preppers
[01:27:33] [SPEAKER_05]: in other words
[01:27:34] [SPEAKER_05]: they've been prepping
[01:27:35] [SPEAKER_05]: mostly their entire life
[01:27:36] [SPEAKER_05]: so brand new prepper 20 percent
[01:27:38] [SPEAKER_05]: been prepping
[01:27:39] [SPEAKER_05]: almost their whole life 30 percent
[01:27:40] [SPEAKER_05]: what a cool
[01:27:42] [SPEAKER_05]: swing of folks
[01:27:43] [SPEAKER_05]: and then finally
[01:27:44] [SPEAKER_05]: I probably should have
[01:27:45] [SPEAKER_05]: worded this poll differently
[01:27:47] [SPEAKER_05]: because it was an easy
[01:27:49] [SPEAKER_05]: gimme
[01:27:50] [SPEAKER_05]: but I asked the community this week
[01:27:52] [SPEAKER_05]: what is the most important prep to have
[01:27:53] [SPEAKER_05]: five percent said
[01:27:55] [SPEAKER_05]: fuel or backup power
[01:27:56] [SPEAKER_05]: these answers sound like something
[01:27:58] [SPEAKER_05]: family feud like
[01:28:00] [SPEAKER_05]: a food nine percent
[01:28:01] [SPEAKER_05]: bang bangs
[01:28:02] [SPEAKER_05]: 10 percent
[01:28:03] [SPEAKER_05]: and if you haven't seen the new shirt
[01:28:04] [SPEAKER_05]: I like my guns
[01:28:05] [SPEAKER_05]: like I like my democrats
[01:28:06] [SPEAKER_05]: like their voters
[01:28:08] [SPEAKER_05]: undocumented
[01:28:09] [SPEAKER_05]: that came from John Willis
[01:28:10] [SPEAKER_05]: over at SOE tactical
[01:28:12] [SPEAKER_05]: it's probably the edgiest shirt
[01:28:13] [SPEAKER_05]: he sent me yet
[01:28:14] [SPEAKER_05]: but I love it
[01:28:14] [SPEAKER_05]: and then water was 77 percent
[01:28:17] [SPEAKER_05]: so just about absolutely everybody
[01:28:18] [SPEAKER_05]: said
[01:28:19] [SPEAKER_05]: water was the most important prep to have
[01:28:22] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm not going to disagree whatsoever
[01:28:24] [SPEAKER_05]: food forest firms are good buddy Brian
[01:28:26] [SPEAKER_05]: if you don't follow him over on youtube
[01:28:28] [SPEAKER_05]: give him a follow
[01:28:29] [SPEAKER_05]: and this was in regards to
[01:28:31] [SPEAKER_05]: the most important prep
[01:28:33] [SPEAKER_05]: he said in Seattle
[01:28:34] [SPEAKER_05]: water falls from the sky
[01:28:35] [SPEAKER_05]: and fish are abundant
[01:28:36] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm still voting power
[01:28:37] [SPEAKER_05]: you know we talked about this
[01:28:41] [SPEAKER_05]: I want to say maybe it was when
[01:28:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Adam from a modern frontier was on
[01:28:45] [SPEAKER_05]: and we talked about
[01:28:46] [SPEAKER_05]: or no no it was not
[01:28:48] [SPEAKER_05]: it was the Canadian preparedness
[01:28:50] [SPEAKER_05]: he was on
[01:28:51] [SPEAKER_05]: canoe head
[01:28:52] [SPEAKER_05]: you remember him
[01:28:53] [SPEAKER_05]: great dude
[01:28:53] [SPEAKER_05]: I listened to him on instagram all the time
[01:28:55] [SPEAKER_05]: and he said
[01:28:56] [SPEAKER_05]: if you don't have power
[01:28:57] [SPEAKER_05]: you don't have anything
[01:28:58] [SPEAKER_05]: and I really like that
[01:28:59] [SPEAKER_05]: so yes power is important
[01:29:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Mike D said
[01:29:01] [SPEAKER_05]: bang bang
[01:29:02] [SPEAKER_05]: number one for sure
[01:29:03] [SPEAKER_05]: if you have that
[01:29:04] [SPEAKER_05]: you instantly have the means to acquire the rest
[01:29:06] [SPEAKER_05]: just kidding obviously
[01:29:08] [SPEAKER_05]: quotation marks around it
[01:29:11] [SPEAKER_05]: and
[01:29:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Rywin 3290
[01:29:13] [SPEAKER_05]: water is obviously number one for preserving life
[01:29:15] [SPEAKER_05]: but since water and filtering
[01:29:17] [SPEAKER_05]: isn't an issue for us
[01:29:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I went with food
[01:29:19] [SPEAKER_05]: food takes so much longer to obtain
[01:29:21] [SPEAKER_05]: and grow
[01:29:22] [SPEAKER_05]: yep
[01:29:22] [SPEAKER_05]: especially when you try to put
[01:29:25] [SPEAKER_05]: you know silver and gold in the
[01:29:26] [SPEAKER_05]: in the ground
[01:29:27] [SPEAKER_05]: they don't sprout up very good
[01:29:28] [SPEAKER_05]: so
[01:29:29] [SPEAKER_05]: digger says
[01:29:30] [SPEAKER_05]: hey digger good to have you
[01:29:31] [SPEAKER_05]: I was a prepper and didn't know it
[01:29:32] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah I would agree
[01:29:33] [SPEAKER_05]: I
[01:29:34] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't think I knew what the term was either
[01:29:37] [SPEAKER_05]: I believe
[01:29:38] [SPEAKER_05]: I probably first started
[01:29:40] [SPEAKER_05]: becoming aware of it around 2013
[01:29:41] [SPEAKER_05]: when
[01:29:42] [SPEAKER_05]: I was working at home
[01:29:45] [SPEAKER_05]: we knew we did this stuff
[01:29:47] [SPEAKER_05]: and maybe we did call it prepping
[01:29:48] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm not really sure
[01:29:49] [SPEAKER_05]: but I remember typing in
[01:29:51] [SPEAKER_05]: I think I typed in a podcast about survival
[01:29:54] [SPEAKER_05]: or homesteading or something
[01:29:56] [SPEAKER_05]: because I was selling computer software
[01:29:59] [SPEAKER_05]: from home in the evenings to one or two in the morning
[01:30:01] [SPEAKER_05]: and I had a ton of downtime
[01:30:03] [SPEAKER_05]: and so I was looking for podcasts to listen to
[01:30:05] [SPEAKER_05]: and that's when I stumbled upon
[01:30:08] [SPEAKER_05]: the survival podcast
[01:30:09] [SPEAKER_05]: and so I've been listening to Jack for about 11 years
[01:30:12] [SPEAKER_05]: and eventually got on his expert council
[01:30:14] [SPEAKER_05]: and I think that's probably when I really came
[01:30:18] [SPEAKER_05]: to terms with the survival with prepping
[01:30:20] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm
[01:30:22] [SPEAKER_05]: we always embraced it before that
[01:30:23] [SPEAKER_05]: but yeah there you go
[01:30:26] [SPEAKER_05]: and final segment of the night
[01:30:28] [SPEAKER_05]: is the creator spotlight
[01:30:30] [SPEAKER_05]: and this is oh
[01:30:32] [SPEAKER_05]: man I almost forgot the most important one
[01:30:34] [SPEAKER_05]: I didn't have any notes in my
[01:30:37] [SPEAKER_05]: show notes tonight for
[01:30:39] [SPEAKER_05]: this segment right here
[01:30:41] [SPEAKER_05]: one of our favorites
[01:30:41] [SPEAKER_05]: everybody seems to be
[01:30:43] [SPEAKER_02]: you stay in the back and you keep your gun handy
[01:30:45] [SPEAKER_02]: our country is still full of
[01:30:48] [SPEAKER_02]: feeding murdering
[01:30:49] [SPEAKER_05]: get ready
[01:30:50] [SPEAKER_05]: get ready
[01:30:51] [SPEAKER_05]: I read it
[01:30:51] [SPEAKER_05]: I read it on the internet
[01:30:54] [SPEAKER_05]: so I read it on the internet
[01:30:55] [SPEAKER_05]: this is where we take a look at
[01:30:57] [SPEAKER_05]: some of my favorite prepping
[01:31:01] [SPEAKER_05]: articles or
[01:31:03] [SPEAKER_05]: posts on reddit
[01:31:04] [SPEAKER_05]: this week
[01:31:05] [SPEAKER_05]: so this one here
[01:31:07] [SPEAKER_05]: this comes from
[01:31:08] [SPEAKER_05]: electrical goose 6496
[01:31:11] [SPEAKER_05]: my significant other
[01:31:12] [SPEAKER_05]: believes the apocalypse is imminent
[01:31:14] [SPEAKER_05]: and judges me for running
[01:31:16] [SPEAKER_05]: alternative alternate strategies
[01:31:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to read this
[01:31:19] [SPEAKER_05]: it's about two paragraphs
[01:31:20] [SPEAKER_05]: but it's worth hearing
[01:31:22] [SPEAKER_05]: my significant other
[01:31:23] [SPEAKER_05]: believes that we're likely to experience
[01:31:25] [SPEAKER_05]: societal collapse in the U.S.
[01:31:26] [SPEAKER_05]: imminently
[01:31:27] [SPEAKER_05]: like weeks to months
[01:31:28] [SPEAKER_05]: Gaza, Israel, Russia, Ukraine,
[01:31:30] [SPEAKER_05]: China, Taiwan, general Middle East
[01:31:31] [SPEAKER_05]: mischief, internal U.S.
[01:31:32] [SPEAKER_05]: strife
[01:31:33] [SPEAKER_05]: reason doesn't matter
[01:31:34] [SPEAKER_05]: but I own the house
[01:31:35] [SPEAKER_05]: we're 20 miles from a major
[01:31:37] [SPEAKER_05]: metropolitan area
[01:31:38] [SPEAKER_05]: and my job's downtown
[01:31:39] [SPEAKER_05]: my job wants me to go in
[01:31:40] [SPEAKER_05]: three times a week
[01:31:41] [SPEAKER_05]: but actually go in once
[01:31:42] [SPEAKER_05]: twice
[01:31:42] [SPEAKER_05]: I have an acre and a half
[01:31:44] [SPEAKER_05]: chickens, EMP shields
[01:31:45] [SPEAKER_05]: stored stuff, weapons, etc
[01:31:47] [SPEAKER_05]: houses are stable
[01:31:48] [SPEAKER_05]: an eight minute drive
[01:31:49] [SPEAKER_05]: or 25 minute walk away
[01:31:50] [SPEAKER_05]: the house could be more secure
[01:31:52] [SPEAKER_05]: but I do have great neighbors
[01:31:53] [SPEAKER_05]: and I feel good about my community
[01:31:55] [SPEAKER_05]: he feels like we should have moved
[01:31:56] [SPEAKER_05]: out to the country
[01:31:57] [SPEAKER_05]: a long time ago
[01:31:58] [SPEAKER_05]: I currently can't afford it
[01:31:59] [SPEAKER_05]: and he's not able to afford it
[01:32:00] [SPEAKER_05]: on his own
[01:32:01] [SPEAKER_05]: he's mad that he will spend
[01:32:03] [SPEAKER_05]: the apocalypse here
[01:32:04] [SPEAKER_05]: in what he has deemed
[01:32:05] [SPEAKER_05]: an indefensible position
[01:32:07] [SPEAKER_05]: from an imminent social unrest
[01:32:08] [SPEAKER_05]: horde
[01:32:09] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't feel comfortable
[01:32:10] [SPEAKER_05]: giving my house away
[01:32:11] [SPEAKER_05]: with nowhere else to move
[01:32:13] [SPEAKER_05]: that I feel is as good
[01:32:14] [SPEAKER_05]: I feel that we can work
[01:32:16] [SPEAKER_05]: to save money this year
[01:32:17] [SPEAKER_05]: and spend a little
[01:32:18] [SPEAKER_05]: but not a lot
[01:32:19] [SPEAKER_05]: on making this place
[01:32:19] [SPEAKER_05]: more defensible in the interim
[01:32:22] [SPEAKER_05]: without sacrificing
[01:32:22] [SPEAKER_05]: the long term goal
[01:32:23] [SPEAKER_05]: nothing seems to make him happy
[01:32:25] [SPEAKER_05]: I feel I'm at a loss
[01:32:26] [SPEAKER_05]: I feel like maintaining
[01:32:27] [SPEAKER_05]: the status quo
[01:32:28] [SPEAKER_05]: while prepping for the worst
[01:32:29] [SPEAKER_05]: makes the most sense
[01:32:30] [SPEAKER_05]: I do not believe
[01:32:32] [SPEAKER_05]: that the risk of societal collapse
[01:32:33] [SPEAKER_05]: in weeks to months
[01:32:34] [SPEAKER_05]: is a guarantee
[01:32:35] [SPEAKER_05]: how do I navigate this
[01:32:37] [SPEAKER_05]: well
[01:32:39] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm not sure if you're aware
[01:32:39] [SPEAKER_05]: of the host that other folks have
[01:32:40] [SPEAKER_05]: there's a couple of thoughts here
[01:32:42] [SPEAKER_05]: and I've shared this same quote
[01:32:43] [SPEAKER_05]: from C.S. Lewis many times
[01:32:45] [SPEAKER_05]: about how could anybody do anything
[01:32:47] [SPEAKER_05]: in the face
[01:32:47] [SPEAKER_05]: of imminent destruction
[01:32:49] [SPEAKER_05]: from nuclear catastrophe
[01:32:51] [SPEAKER_05]: and you know what
[01:32:52] [SPEAKER_05]: here we are
[01:32:54] [SPEAKER_05]: probably 70 years removed
[01:32:55] [SPEAKER_05]: from that quote
[01:32:57] [SPEAKER_05]: and he said
[01:32:58] [SPEAKER_05]: hey
[01:32:58] [SPEAKER_05]: the folks who lived in Viking times
[01:33:00] [SPEAKER_05]: were constantly afraid
[01:33:01] [SPEAKER_05]: of Vikings pulling up to the shore
[01:33:03] [SPEAKER_05]: and decimating their population
[01:33:06] [SPEAKER_05]: so
[01:33:06] [SPEAKER_05]: if you go back to the preppers in the 50s
[01:33:09] [SPEAKER_05]: they were the
[01:33:10] [SPEAKER_05]: the back to the landers
[01:33:11] [SPEAKER_05]: the retreaters
[01:33:13] [SPEAKER_05]: the homesteaders
[01:33:14] [SPEAKER_05]: the survivalists
[01:33:15] [SPEAKER_05]: the doomsday preppers
[01:33:16] [SPEAKER_05]: everybody has something
[01:33:17] [SPEAKER_05]: they're worried about
[01:33:18] [SPEAKER_05]: every folk thinks
[01:33:20] [SPEAKER_05]: or at least every generation thinks
[01:33:22] [SPEAKER_05]: that the world is about to collapse
[01:33:24] [SPEAKER_05]: and everybody thinks they're special
[01:33:25] [SPEAKER_05]: and think I have insight
[01:33:26] [SPEAKER_05]: not everybody but lots of people do
[01:33:29] [SPEAKER_05]: and here's the thing
[01:33:30] [SPEAKER_05]: when we focus on preparedness
[01:33:32] [SPEAKER_05]: we have to come up with the things
[01:33:34] [SPEAKER_05]: that make our life better
[01:33:35] [SPEAKER_05]: whether times get tougher
[01:33:36] [SPEAKER_05]: they don't
[01:33:37] [SPEAKER_05]: right we've heard it
[01:33:38] [SPEAKER_05]: we all know it
[01:33:39] [SPEAKER_05]: sometimes you have to talk people down
[01:33:41] [SPEAKER_05]: off the ledge
[01:33:42] [SPEAKER_05]: and so I'm kind of wondering
[01:33:43] [SPEAKER_05]: possibly if this is dude
[01:33:45] [SPEAKER_05]: might be a fairly new prepper
[01:33:46] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know
[01:33:47] [SPEAKER_05]: or maybe he's
[01:33:49] [SPEAKER_05]: having some psychological issues
[01:33:51] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm not sure
[01:33:51] [SPEAKER_05]: but
[01:33:51] [SPEAKER_05]: here's what octa
[01:33:53] [SPEAKER_05]: octaharm said
[01:33:54] [SPEAKER_05]: this sounds like something that might
[01:33:55] [SPEAKER_05]: be more relevant for therapy
[01:33:57] [SPEAKER_05]: I agree
[01:33:58] [SPEAKER_05]: there's preparedness as a hobby
[01:33:59] [SPEAKER_05]: interest thoughtfulness
[01:34:00] [SPEAKER_05]: but it sounds like he's suffering
[01:34:02] [SPEAKER_05]: from paranoia
[01:34:02] [SPEAKER_05]: that is seriously affecting
[01:34:03] [SPEAKER_05]: both of your lives
[01:34:04] [SPEAKER_05]: the nothing seems to make him happy
[01:34:06] [SPEAKER_05]: makes sense
[01:34:07] [SPEAKER_05]: because there isn't anything that will
[01:34:08] [SPEAKER_05]: anxiety and paranoia
[01:34:10] [SPEAKER_05]: isn't something you can fix
[01:34:11] [SPEAKER_05]: with just more stuff
[01:34:13] [SPEAKER_05]: right
[01:34:13] [SPEAKER_05]: I agree
[01:34:15] [SPEAKER_05]: and MIRV 888 says
[01:34:17] [SPEAKER_05]: that's what I was going to suggest
[01:34:19] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm no psychiatrist
[01:34:20] [SPEAKER_05]: but in my humble opinion
[01:34:21] [SPEAKER_05]: he's moving into mental illness
[01:34:23] [SPEAKER_05]: territory
[01:34:23] [SPEAKER_05]: your significant other
[01:34:25] [SPEAKER_05]: is no more psychic than we are
[01:34:27] [SPEAKER_05]: becoming certain about future
[01:34:28] [SPEAKER_05]: anything is an unwinnable
[01:34:29] [SPEAKER_05]: unattainable argument
[01:34:31] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know how you could coach it
[01:34:33] [SPEAKER_05]: but he needs professional help
[01:34:34] [SPEAKER_05]: does anybody remember the book
[01:34:36] [SPEAKER_05]: 88 reasons the rapture will happen in 1988
[01:34:39] [SPEAKER_05]: just saying
[01:34:39] [SPEAKER_05]: this kind of stuff happens right
[01:34:41] [SPEAKER_05]: so
[01:34:44] [SPEAKER_05]: I can't even pronounce this username
[01:34:47] [SPEAKER_05]: it says great point and very well said
[01:34:49] [SPEAKER_05]: to add to that anxiety
[01:34:50] [SPEAKER_05]: and other related mental struggles
[01:34:52] [SPEAKER_05]: can make worries and paranoia
[01:34:53] [SPEAKER_05]: feel very rear
[01:34:55] [SPEAKER_05]: real to the person experiencing them
[01:34:57] [SPEAKER_05]: it can take over logical thinking
[01:34:59] [SPEAKER_05]: and spiral snowball
[01:35:00] [SPEAKER_05]: getting them help
[01:35:01] [SPEAKER_05]: or at the very least
[01:35:02] [SPEAKER_05]: getting a book reading up online about anxiety
[01:35:04] [SPEAKER_05]: and maybe OCD
[01:35:05] [SPEAKER_05]: might help you
[01:35:06] [SPEAKER_05]: might make them feel better understanding
[01:35:08] [SPEAKER_05]: what's going on
[01:35:09] [SPEAKER_05]: and get it better under control
[01:35:10] [SPEAKER_05]: that's not to say some of his fears
[01:35:12] [SPEAKER_05]: in paranoia aren't valid
[01:35:13] [SPEAKER_05]: but that level of fear paranoia
[01:35:16] [SPEAKER_05]: in inevitability
[01:35:18] [SPEAKER_05]: is very likely stemming from some more
[01:35:20] [SPEAKER_05]: tangible mental issues
[01:35:23] [SPEAKER_05]: that's what I think
[01:35:24] [SPEAKER_05]: Bonnie blue I agree completely
[01:35:26] [SPEAKER_05]: fear driven decisions are never good ones
[01:35:28] [SPEAKER_05]: I agree
[01:35:29] [SPEAKER_05]: lots of folks come to prepping
[01:35:31] [SPEAKER_05]: out of a fear based decision
[01:35:33] [SPEAKER_05]: somebody comes I love to use
[01:35:35] [SPEAKER_05]: why 2k
[01:35:36] [SPEAKER_05]: I know 25 years ago
[01:35:37] [SPEAKER_05]: we were preparing for why 2k
[01:35:38] [SPEAKER_05]: wherever you stand on that today
[01:35:41] [SPEAKER_05]: a lot of people got really scared
[01:35:42] [SPEAKER_05]: and then when it didn't happen
[01:35:44] [SPEAKER_05]: they're like oh
[01:35:44] [SPEAKER_05]: chicken little sky didn't fall
[01:35:46] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm moving away
[01:35:47] [SPEAKER_05]: but the folks that stuck with it
[01:35:48] [SPEAKER_05]: are the folks that realized
[01:35:49] [SPEAKER_05]: that something very unlikely
[01:35:52] [SPEAKER_05]: that could have happened
[01:35:53] [SPEAKER_05]: didn't happen
[01:35:55] [SPEAKER_05]: but
[01:35:55] [SPEAKER_05]: it can give us a purpose
[01:35:57] [SPEAKER_05]: to look after the things
[01:35:58] [SPEAKER_05]: that are way more likely
[01:35:59] [SPEAKER_05]: health job
[01:36:01] [SPEAKER_05]: financial
[01:36:01] [SPEAKER_05]: weather related
[01:36:02] [SPEAKER_05]: that kind of ship
[01:36:04] [SPEAKER_05]: and as long as we don't go down
[01:36:06] [SPEAKER_05]: the absolutely
[01:36:08] [SPEAKER_05]: asinine
[01:36:09] [SPEAKER_05]: you know whirlpool
[01:36:10] [SPEAKER_05]: that can be some of these conspiracy theories
[01:36:12] [SPEAKER_05]: I think will be okay
[01:36:13] [SPEAKER_05]: now some you know
[01:36:14] [SPEAKER_05]: we all lean
[01:36:16] [SPEAKER_05]: more heavily in one area
[01:36:17] [SPEAKER_05]: or another
[01:36:18] [SPEAKER_05]: but I worry about people who
[01:36:20] [SPEAKER_05]: do this
[01:36:21] [SPEAKER_05]: and so like I said
[01:36:22] [SPEAKER_05]: I think it's our job to kind of
[01:36:23] [SPEAKER_05]: talk them down off the ledge
[01:36:24] [SPEAKER_05]: and realize that prepping
[01:36:25] [SPEAKER_05]: gives us a purpose
[01:36:26] [SPEAKER_05]: it shouldn't give us paranoia
[01:36:29] [SPEAKER_05]: and
[01:36:29] [SPEAKER_05]: so hopefully this couple will work
[01:36:31] [SPEAKER_05]: their their differences out
[01:36:33] [SPEAKER_05]: because it sounds like they have a
[01:36:34] [SPEAKER_05]: really sweet setup
[01:36:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Rachel C says
[01:36:37] [SPEAKER_05]: from experience
[01:36:38] [SPEAKER_05]: severe anxiety can be a sign of
[01:36:40] [SPEAKER_05]: underlining underlying medical issues
[01:36:42] [SPEAKER_05]: to vitamin deficiency
[01:36:43] [SPEAKER_05]: hormone issues
[01:36:44] [SPEAKER_05]: or autoimmune disease
[01:36:46] [SPEAKER_05]: 100% folks I
[01:36:49] [SPEAKER_05]: have suffered from generalized
[01:36:51] [SPEAKER_05]: anxiety disorder
[01:36:52] [SPEAKER_05]: since I was probably
[01:36:53] [SPEAKER_05]: 1415 years old
[01:36:56] [SPEAKER_05]: I've been on a
[01:36:57] [SPEAKER_05]: kind of a low dose
[01:36:59] [SPEAKER_05]: any anxiety pill
[01:37:00] [SPEAKER_05]: since I was 18 years old
[01:37:02] [SPEAKER_05]: and it has helped me immensely
[01:37:04] [SPEAKER_05]: but it's only a stopgap measure
[01:37:06] [SPEAKER_05]: if you don't deal with the
[01:37:08] [SPEAKER_05]: underlying issues
[01:37:08] [SPEAKER_05]: and that's probably one of the
[01:37:11] [SPEAKER_05]: big parts of it is
[01:37:13] [SPEAKER_05]: looking after the things that scare you
[01:37:15] [SPEAKER_05]: getting therapy
[01:37:16] [SPEAKER_05]: talking to people
[01:37:17] [SPEAKER_05]: realizing as you get older
[01:37:18] [SPEAKER_05]: that some of the things you worry
[01:37:20] [SPEAKER_05]: about
[01:37:20] [SPEAKER_05]: aren't worth worrying about
[01:37:22] [SPEAKER_05]: all the above
[01:37:23] [SPEAKER_05]: and it really depends on where
[01:37:24] [SPEAKER_05]: you come from
[01:37:25] [SPEAKER_05]: but severe anxiety
[01:37:26] [SPEAKER_05]: absolutely can be
[01:37:28] [SPEAKER_05]: debilitating
[01:37:28] [SPEAKER_05]: can be crippling
[01:37:29] [SPEAKER_05]: can be one of those things that
[01:37:32] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to guess there's at least
[01:37:34] [SPEAKER_05]: an average if not above
[01:37:36] [SPEAKER_05]: average amount of anxiety
[01:37:38] [SPEAKER_05]: within preppers
[01:37:39] [SPEAKER_05]: and I think
[01:37:40] [SPEAKER_05]: and one of my theories is that
[01:37:42] [SPEAKER_05]: the idea of being prepared
[01:37:44] [SPEAKER_05]: is a way for some folks
[01:37:46] [SPEAKER_05]: to manage that kind of stuff
[01:37:48] [SPEAKER_05]: so just a thought
[01:37:49] [SPEAKER_05]: there you are
[01:37:50] [SPEAKER_05]: and you know what
[01:37:51] [SPEAKER_05]: there was
[01:37:51] [SPEAKER_05]: I couldn't go without
[01:37:52] [SPEAKER_05]: I had two
[01:37:53] [SPEAKER_05]: normally I just share with you
[01:37:55] [SPEAKER_05]: one
[01:37:55] [SPEAKER_05]: but I know the show has been
[01:37:56] [SPEAKER_05]: going great tonight
[01:37:57] [SPEAKER_05]: and I had two
[01:37:58] [SPEAKER_05]: stories from Reddit this week
[01:37:59] [SPEAKER_05]: and how could I not come on
[01:38:01] [SPEAKER_05]: and not talk about the massive
[01:38:02] [SPEAKER_05]: cell phone power outage
[01:38:03] [SPEAKER_05]: service outage
[01:38:05] [SPEAKER_05]: in the US
[01:38:06] [SPEAKER_05]: 18 months ago
[01:38:07] [SPEAKER_05]: we had our own version of that
[01:38:08] [SPEAKER_05]: here in Canada
[01:38:09] [SPEAKER_05]: my parents were out here visiting
[01:38:11] [SPEAKER_05]: we were five hours away from home
[01:38:13] [SPEAKER_05]: we're getting ready to go on a
[01:38:15] [SPEAKER_05]: day long road trip
[01:38:16] [SPEAKER_05]: and we wake up
[01:38:17] [SPEAKER_05]: and
[01:38:18] [SPEAKER_05]: cell phone wasn't bad
[01:38:19] [SPEAKER_05]: but the entire
[01:38:21] [SPEAKER_05]: point of sale
[01:38:23] [SPEAKER_05]: payment system
[01:38:23] [SPEAKER_05]: bank machines
[01:38:24] [SPEAKER_05]: all of that was down
[01:38:26] [SPEAKER_05]: so
[01:38:26] [SPEAKER_05]: this one came from
[01:38:28] [SPEAKER_05]: whose chair is this
[01:38:29] [SPEAKER_05]: massive cell service outage
[01:38:32] [SPEAKER_05]: intermittent outages
[01:38:33] [SPEAKER_05]: for a few hundred thousand people
[01:38:34] [SPEAKER_05]: if you were affected
[01:38:35] [SPEAKER_05]: what did you learn
[01:38:36] [SPEAKER_05]: any shortfalls you identified
[01:38:37] [SPEAKER_05]: to be clear
[01:38:38] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't care about browsing the
[01:38:40] [SPEAKER_05]: internet
[01:38:40] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm talking about
[01:38:41] [SPEAKER_05]: in an emergency
[01:38:41] [SPEAKER_05]: if cell service were to go down
[01:38:43] [SPEAKER_05]: from the start
[01:38:43] [SPEAKER_05]: what are your pitfalls
[01:38:45] [SPEAKER_05]: I work third shift
[01:38:47] [SPEAKER_05]: so my idea of the solar flare
[01:38:49] [SPEAKER_05]: wasn't bait
[01:38:50] [SPEAKER_05]: the solar activity
[01:38:50] [SPEAKER_05]: almost perfectly aligned
[01:38:52] [SPEAKER_05]: with when I lost signal
[01:38:53] [SPEAKER_05]: it was an observation
[01:38:53] [SPEAKER_05]: not a conspiracy theory
[01:38:55] [SPEAKER_05]: simply an observation
[01:38:56] [SPEAKER_05]: I made at the time
[01:38:57] [SPEAKER_05]: and one of the downsides too
[01:38:59] [SPEAKER_05]: read it
[01:38:59] [SPEAKER_05]: and it's probably the reason
[01:39:01] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't spend more time on here
[01:39:02] [SPEAKER_05]: is because
[01:39:03] [SPEAKER_05]: anytime somebody mentioned
[01:39:04] [SPEAKER_05]: something like that
[01:39:05] [SPEAKER_05]: they almost get showed it down
[01:39:06] [SPEAKER_05]: into oblivion
[01:39:09] [SPEAKER_05]: he said
[01:39:10] [SPEAKER_05]: for a group who preaches
[01:39:11] [SPEAKER_05]: about community
[01:39:12] [SPEAKER_05]: some of you guys are quick to
[01:39:13] [SPEAKER_05]: jump on people
[01:39:14] [SPEAKER_05]: so
[01:39:15] [SPEAKER_05]: that's where it ended
[01:39:16] [SPEAKER_05]: but
[01:39:16] [SPEAKER_05]: so originally he threw out the
[01:39:18] [SPEAKER_05]: idea of the solar flares
[01:39:19] [SPEAKER_05]: being a possibility for this
[01:39:20] [SPEAKER_05]: and they totally could have been
[01:39:22] [SPEAKER_05]: doesn't look like they were
[01:39:23] [SPEAKER_05]: my guess is it's probably
[01:39:25] [SPEAKER_05]: not malice
[01:39:26] [SPEAKER_05]: it was probably
[01:39:27] [SPEAKER_05]: stupidity
[01:39:28] [SPEAKER_05]: or
[01:39:28] [SPEAKER_05]: you know
[01:39:29] [SPEAKER_05]: infrastructure breakdown
[01:39:30] [SPEAKER_05]: because that's what happened in
[01:39:31] [SPEAKER_05]: Canada
[01:39:32] [SPEAKER_05]: but
[01:39:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Mr. Krupp said
[01:39:34] [SPEAKER_05]: first off
[01:39:35] [SPEAKER_05]: I rely on maps and directions
[01:39:36] [SPEAKER_05]: way too much
[01:39:37] [SPEAKER_05]: directions have always been a
[01:39:38] [SPEAKER_05]: challenge
[01:39:39] [SPEAKER_05]: so this means that
[01:39:39] [SPEAKER_05]: when something like this happens
[01:39:41] [SPEAKER_05]: and what I've taken for granted
[01:39:43] [SPEAKER_05]: is gone
[01:39:43] [SPEAKER_05]: have to be comfortable again
[01:39:44] [SPEAKER_05]: with not using my phone
[01:39:46] [SPEAKER_05]: to find places
[01:39:47] [SPEAKER_05]: convenience is great
[01:39:48] [SPEAKER_05]: but man
[01:39:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I need a paper map
[01:39:50] [SPEAKER_05]: road atlas
[01:39:51] [SPEAKER_05]: so that's one big pitfall
[01:39:53] [SPEAKER_05]: second it makes me
[01:39:54] [SPEAKER_05]: conscious of just how much I mess
[01:39:55] [SPEAKER_05]: with my phone
[01:39:56] [SPEAKER_05]: and I need to reduce that
[01:39:58] [SPEAKER_05]: so do I
[01:39:59] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm not going to lie
[01:40:00] [SPEAKER_05]: I learned my lesson two years ago
[01:40:02] [SPEAKER_05]: you've heard the story about
[01:40:03] [SPEAKER_05]: not having any cell service on
[01:40:04] [SPEAKER_05]: the interstate
[01:40:05] [SPEAKER_05]: and not knowing where I was going
[01:40:07] [SPEAKER_05]: shirt in the dark
[01:40:08] [SPEAKER_05]: said I agree
[01:40:09] [SPEAKER_05]: we get $50 of free maps
[01:40:11] [SPEAKER_05]: from AAA every year
[01:40:13] [SPEAKER_05]: well technically they're not free
[01:40:14] [SPEAKER_05]: we use our AAA membership enough
[01:40:16] [SPEAKER_05]: to save points
[01:40:16] [SPEAKER_05]: on this stuff
[01:40:18] [SPEAKER_05]: and the peace of mind knowing
[01:40:19] [SPEAKER_05]: we have cheap toes
[01:40:20] [SPEAKER_05]: and lockout service
[01:40:22] [SPEAKER_05]: AAA is one of the gifts
[01:40:23] [SPEAKER_05]: we give each other at Valentine's Day
[01:40:25] [SPEAKER_05]: I swear by their maps
[01:40:26] [SPEAKER_05]: some of them are the best going
[01:40:27] [SPEAKER_05]: in my opinion
[01:40:28] [SPEAKER_05]: and then one more thought on paper maps
[01:40:31] [SPEAKER_05]: paper maps have an advantage
[01:40:32] [SPEAKER_05]: that you can draw on them with highlighter
[01:40:34] [SPEAKER_05]: I do like that
[01:40:35] [SPEAKER_05]: get a map
[01:40:36] [SPEAKER_05]: outline your way out of a city
[01:40:37] [SPEAKER_05]: for something like a flood
[01:40:39] [SPEAKER_05]: look on google earth
[01:40:40] [SPEAKER_05]: when the times are good
[01:40:41] [SPEAKER_05]: get a topographical map
[01:40:43] [SPEAKER_05]: plan your route
[01:40:44] [SPEAKER_05]: highlight the route
[01:40:45] [SPEAKER_05]: roads on paper map
[01:40:46] [SPEAKER_05]: label it flood
[01:40:47] [SPEAKER_05]: and put it in a ziplock bag
[01:40:48] [SPEAKER_05]: now you're ready if there's a flood
[01:40:49] [SPEAKER_05]: without warning
[01:40:50] [SPEAKER_05]: and without having to think about things
[01:40:51] [SPEAKER_05]: do the same above
[01:40:53] [SPEAKER_05]: with the less than legal routes
[01:40:54] [SPEAKER_05]: i.e. there's a massive chemical spill
[01:40:57] [SPEAKER_05]: and I have to go east
[01:40:58] [SPEAKER_05]: how do I get out
[01:40:59] [SPEAKER_05]: the service road that runs along the railroad tracks
[01:41:01] [SPEAKER_05]: will get me a big ticket normal times
[01:41:03] [SPEAKER_05]: but if I have to use it
[01:41:04] [SPEAKER_05]: I have a paper map with the route
[01:41:05] [SPEAKER_05]: highlighted and planned
[01:41:06] [SPEAKER_05]: so that an emergency
[01:41:07] [SPEAKER_05]: I know where to go
[01:41:08] [SPEAKER_05]: without having to think evaluate
[01:41:09] [SPEAKER_05]: while panicking
[01:41:11] [SPEAKER_05]: taking out the anxiety of a situation
[01:41:14] [SPEAKER_05]: planning ahead of time
[01:41:15] [SPEAKER_05]: right because when we had Ed on here
[01:41:18] [SPEAKER_05]: from iridium solutions
[01:41:19] [SPEAKER_05]: he said one of the most astute quotes
[01:41:21] [SPEAKER_05]: I'd ever heard
[01:41:22] [SPEAKER_05]: we don't rise to the occasion
[01:41:24] [SPEAKER_05]: we fall to our highest level of training
[01:41:26] [SPEAKER_05]: Bonnie blue says free maps
[01:41:28] [SPEAKER_05]: at highway rest stops visitor centers
[01:41:30] [SPEAKER_05]: yes there are
[01:41:32] [SPEAKER_05]: map out places where there are vehicles
[01:41:33] [SPEAKER_05]: to steal if you need
[01:41:34] [SPEAKER_05]: holy cow
[01:41:35] [SPEAKER_05]: well that might be a little excessive
[01:41:37] [SPEAKER_05]: but you
[01:41:37] [SPEAKER_05]: we're going to talk about that anyway
[01:41:39] [SPEAKER_05]: rental car lots
[01:41:40] [SPEAKER_05]: post offices
[01:41:41] [SPEAKER_05]: map out bridges that are not roads
[01:41:43] [SPEAKER_05]: mostly these are railroads
[01:41:44] [SPEAKER_05]: but they're various pipeline
[01:41:45] [SPEAKER_05]: hiking others as well
[01:41:46] [SPEAKER_05]: and finally
[01:41:47] [SPEAKER_05]: I always believed it's best
[01:41:49] [SPEAKER_05]: to limit what you're dependent on
[01:41:50] [SPEAKER_05]: the most common would be nicotine
[01:41:51] [SPEAKER_05]: for a lot of people
[01:41:53] [SPEAKER_05]: but I'm also thinking things like coffee
[01:41:55] [SPEAKER_05]: and even GPS
[01:41:57] [SPEAKER_05]: it's never a bad time
[01:41:58] [SPEAKER_05]: or never a bad thought to
[01:42:01] [SPEAKER_05]: do a mental exercise of
[01:42:02] [SPEAKER_05]: hey I'm going to drive the day without GPS
[01:42:05] [SPEAKER_05]: when Becky and I drive around the city
[01:42:07] [SPEAKER_05]: sometimes we get in arguments
[01:42:08] [SPEAKER_05]: because we decide we're not going to rely on GPS
[01:42:11] [SPEAKER_05]: but at the end of the day
[01:42:12] [SPEAKER_05]: it strengthens
[01:42:14] [SPEAKER_05]: our ability to get around the city
[01:42:16] [SPEAKER_05]: without having electronic navigation
[01:42:18] [SPEAKER_05]: so it's not a bad thing
[01:42:20] [SPEAKER_05]: so final segment of today is
[01:42:24] [SPEAKER_05]: the content creator spotlight
[01:42:27] [SPEAKER_05]: this is where I
[01:42:28] [SPEAKER_05]: share with you guys

[01:43:11] [SPEAKER_05]: which is great
