Starting point is 00:00:00 It is good to be back. It is wonderful to be back. In fact, I even had to jump back into things. Sunday night, which is probably the rarest time you hear from me. On a Sunday night, whoever, whichever one of you wonderful hosts, populated this christmas jazz music i think probably the best maybe the best background i could find in the uh i don't know maybe through the whole sea we might run this through the whole season so we have a lot today we're going to screw up your december right off top day one make you more
Starting point is 00:00:53 busy and worried than you need to be basically um In full disclosure, you see this magnificent background here? When I got into Streamyard today, they keep doing things in Streamyard. They keep updating things and adding fun features. They're adding all these fun features that like, I have trouble resisting, to be quite honest with you, these little childish graphic things, you know what I mean? That's just I love, right? yeah so what they added here and in full disclosure is AI prompt driven backgrounds so this was the creation of a prompt that I wrote into their background creator and it did a hell of a good job this was not a rigorous attempt you know what I mean I think I I type geometrical pattern of Christmas trees gifts and prep or
Starting point is 00:01:55 ass mask and Bravo I'll tell you this much okay because I know I'm always on my poo-poo with the artificial intelligence I'll always give you full disclosure okay when I put up a cool background something that I designed
Starting point is 00:02:11 I probably won't say anything but if it is a background that was created by AI I'll let you know and this one is oh what the cup you like the cup yeah I got a I got a diner, what is it, like a set of dishes, like a dish set, you know what I mean? Bought it from Walmart for about $14,000.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Or maybe I bought it from Target for like $25,000, 40 plates and cups and 40 total things. No. This came from a thrift store. It was like 40 total dishes and cups for $25. stop shopping at these places that are absolutely murdering your wallet. Seriously. So let's kick it off right off the bat with the, this is coming to your inbox, by the way.
Starting point is 00:03:08 So if you are a newsletter subscriber, then it's already sitting in your inbox. It's already waiting for you. If you're not, do it, right? Prepperbroadcasting.com. Just sign up. It's too late now. It's not going to come.
Starting point is 00:03:24 to you unless I send another one. But sign up because this stuff happens all the time. And all the time you're sitting there going like, oh, I wish I would have got that in my inbox. Just sign up. What's the big deal? You know what I mean? If you don't like the emails that I send, you unsubscribe.
Starting point is 00:03:40 But when you miss out on big stuff like this, it sucks for you. Okay. I realize that if this isn't full screen, you probably can't read it whatsoever because it is kind of small. But we're not here to go over the thing. line by line just suffice it to say that we have a fitness routine fitness program that we do every december right it's 20 days of fitness in scripture called kettlebells in christ i think this is year three something like that maybe year three four probably year three not much has changed i changed the routine last year and upgraded it and updated it but you know this is what it is
Starting point is 00:04:20 I'll put the scripture up to this. It's a two-pager. It's in your email. It's a two-pager. If you follow us over at X, you can also get it because, I don't know, MailChimp just gives you the ability to put your emails on there, so I do it. But swings in form is week one. We go into full body in week two.
Starting point is 00:04:42 We do both left side, right side, essentially on week three. That's pretty tough. it's a pretty tough i mean it's a pretty tough workout you know to be honest with you um five sets of 10 with 50 swings that's a good workout man that's a good work you can break it down 25 25 if you don't think you can do 50 straight away 50 swings is a lot if you have a heavier kettlebell um and then you the last week of the month um we get into the Turkish get-up and I usually put out
Starting point is 00:05:22 sort of a how-to video for that the Turkish get-up is a you know it's a succession of moves maybe what we should do is like a Turkish get-up video at the end of every week because it does take a little bit of time I don't know how many people are doing
Starting point is 00:05:38 the Turkish get-up last week of the kettlebells in Christ without like significant practice because it is it's it's it's a strange strange little move but it really is great i mean like if you were in a jail cell if you were in like uh you know the lizards indoctrination camp you could do the turgish get up and it kills you it really does so should we look at scripture do we need to just suffice it to say that you're also going you're going to get this in the email and then you're also going
Starting point is 00:06:14 to get another sheet that is, you know, 20 days worth of scripture. And the idea is you work out, you do today's workout. It is day one. And then you read the scripture for day one. And think about it after you work out, while your head is kind of, you know, you're all foggy from the workout and you can, you know, your executive function is increased. And then you can sit there and think about something other than all the other things you worry about that really don't matter.
Starting point is 00:06:40 You can ponder, you know, maybe even pray at the end. so find a time morning evening you know for those of you who have your own office you can bring kettlebell into the office and do it behind closed doors i mean when we get to week two week three you probably have to change you know what i mean maybe the swings too i don't know you know three sets what is it five sets of ten no you yeah these are these are workouts you're not going to be able to you're not going to be able to loosen the tie and take care of this real quick and then go back to work regularly but I tell you right now they're phenomenal
Starting point is 00:07:17 if you are a member then you can go over to pbnfamily.com and you can watch my introduction to kettlebells on the prep or fit and health side of things okay introduction to kettlebells good way to start good way to not get hurt you know in the email I do say
Starting point is 00:07:36 you know be careful take it real slow take it real slow and take it Well, not slow. Probably take it light is more important than slow. You see a kettle of light, especially if you're a guy. You know what I mean? If you're a dude and you think I'm this or I'm that, you know, whatever, super strong.
Starting point is 00:07:58 This is going to be no problem to crush this. Just take it slow. Take it light. You know what I mean? I'm trying to find it right now, the old kettlebell intro. kettlebells in Christ this might be it this is December 2
Starting point is 00:08:16 2023 so we've at least been at it oh yeah here we go kettlebell in Christ intro is worth it just to see me in my Draven rock t-shirt in my living room with my Christmas tree all lit up
Starting point is 00:08:31 it's well worth just that video right there I'm putting into chat probably well worth I should have thrown that into the email I think I can give people direct access to it. No, I can't actually. You'd have to be a member. Yeah, become a member. It's five bucks a month.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Stop wasting yours in my time. All right. So, join us. You got all the information that you need. Maybe I'll slap this thing up on, I don't know what I can do with a graphic, really. I have to think it over. I'll put it on social media and that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:09:08 But, you know, I can't really put it in show notes. I can link to it probably on the website. So look out for it. You know, if you're really like super enthralled, then just go to prepperbroadcasting.com, sign up for the newsletter. And then, you know, send me a message and say, hey, I want to do kettlebells in Christ. Starting today, I don't want to miss out day one. Okay, fine. Works for me.
Starting point is 00:09:35 And I'll email you over the doctrine. right i'll shoot you this guy and then i'll also shoot you over the scripture itself and away with you you know enjoy yourself have fun have fun with it it's uh it will kick your ass i mean there's no there's i didn't design it as a sort of an intro um low level thing like it will kill you and you'll feel great that's why i say go light 25 pound kettlebell 15 pound kettlebell that's all needs for this honestly you know what i mean unless you do kettlebell workouts all the time but if you're just saying to yourself i want to get in shape or i i just want to participate 15 25 pound max max 25 pound you'll be fine you will get a great workout seriously like i'll probably be doing
Starting point is 00:10:29 i'll probably be doing the majority of this stuff with a 25 pound kettlebell honestly maybe not the swings this week but definitely the when we get to left side right side of the body there's no way I'm throwing the old werewolf 60 pound werewolf up left side right side of the body three sets of five or whatever it is I mean unless I'm really angry
Starting point is 00:10:52 so interesting for you WhatsApp users out there you ever feel like there's a little bit of like a war like a war in messaging not like a high-scale war but like a low-level like signal huh you know what i mean like uh WhatsApp telegram you know what we have like our almost like iPhone Android kind of allegiance war right we use signal why do we use signal because chin said use signal that's why we use signal because chin said use signal so that's what we do um But WhatsApp GPS data allegedly hidden in messages, right? You thought you were safe.
Starting point is 00:11:40 You thought you were secure. A digital forensics investigator claimed routine WhatsApp messages contain embedded GPS coordinates, showing the sender's exact location. So much for, yeah, so much for being Mr. Cool over there on WhatsApp, Mr. Anonymous, Mr. Secretive, Mr. GPS. Free. Hey, you know what really works if you want to be GPS free? Just get yourself a ghost phone. And then all your messages come with no GPS, or at least no way for anyone to track where you're at. Something to think about. If this matters to you, then see, when it's in your hands and you control the data that goes out of it, all of a sudden, you don't have to depend on signal and WhatsApp and all these other.
Starting point is 00:12:31 apps to stay true. You don't have to worry about what happens when the government comes to them and says, hey, we need your information. We need you guys to ease up on things. So go to Mark 37 or go to the Black Friday catalog, which is linked down below because they got some great sales, Mark 37. It is Cyber Monday or whatever, right? You should read our Cyber Catalog down below. Awesome, awesome, awesome stuff. natural medicines, water purification, water storage, meals, handmade products from the Phoenix herself. I don't know what else to tell you, folks. It's so good. Once you're in control of your own GPS data and location data, then you don't have to worry about it.
Starting point is 00:13:21 You don't have to worry about these types of things creeping up on you and going, oh, turns out the CIA is the ones that create a telegram to begin with. It's not true. I'm just saying I'm giving you an example okay but the season is upon us and I'm not going to go long today or anything like that I wanted everybody to get their kettlebell in Christ on again it's coming to you through email message me if you don't get it and you want it I wanted to talk about the WhatsApp because it's a big deal in our community right which messaging thing you use and if it's protecting you or not it's one of those faith-based things It's like we use signal, you use this, she uses that. I don't know. We all have faith that it is what it says it is. And, you know, the way that the U.S. government works, it definitely looks like slowly but surely these things aren't going to work the way they say that they work. If I had to offer an answer, that would be my answer, okay?
Starting point is 00:14:23 So take advantage of that. When I say that'd be my answer, I'm holding up my ghost phone from Mark 37. To end the show, I want to talk to you about the power of time because two things happened over the holiday weekend that were, well, they were too big to really wrap my head around in terms of the importance of waiting, the importance of staying on target over long, long stretches of time. And all the big wins, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:01 couple months i'll finally reach 40 i feel like i've been 40 for like four years i don't know what it is about 40 40's like it hangs it's like the tentacles of 40 reach out for you and they tickle your face when you're like 30 i was 37 for like three years it felt like or something i don't know but anyway in in february i'll be 40 years old and the stretch of time in life i feel it's also one you get like a couple decades of real living under your belt you know what i mean and you start to understand time not from the you know not from the winy intrepid commander sense where i tell you like carpe diem and go into all that but what i'm talking about here is the power of time the power of investing in something over time and how time can fix and erase and do miraculous things
Starting point is 00:16:00 I mean, just on the matter of time and staying on target, you know, in one of those things that happened in a year like this to it, this being this year of all years that it happened was tremendous. And I don't want to go too in depth on it all because it's none of your business, but, you know, the details. But suffice it to say that this Thanksgiving, my sister and my parents have. talked for a long time years maybe close to a decade right and uh like i said the healing power of time led her and my father together this holiday and uh i don't know i was just glad to be there to see it it was nice to see that it was in the funny thing about it was it was it really was sort of like it was sort of like they hadn't been separated whatsoever, you know, and it was kind of right back into the swing of things. But, you know, six years ago, four years ago, two years ago,
Starting point is 00:17:09 if you would have told me something like this would happen on a Thanksgiving, it would seem impossible. You know what I mean? There was just too much there. And it was a reminder. It was one of those reminders of like, what time can do for you if you can stay on target and if you can say you know if you really truly believe in it if you truly believe in in you know the power of family and love and god and time and target right that's all i really want to say about it there's a lot more to say about it it's just not it's not live fodder for the audience here at pbn but suffice it to say that you know the old adage time heals wounds right and then something else interesting happened too that that again drove this home to me and it's why i'm telling
Starting point is 00:18:02 if it was a one-off thing then i wouldn't probably be as sort of overwhelmed and want to tell you about it um and i haven't told you about this at all because i've been down this path in fact with this publisher in the past and it didn't work out um but over the weekend i received an email from the one of the designers project managers at quarto publishing who i've been working with for almost a year and uh you know it was basically all of the images layouts captions required illustrations and so on to sort of get my blessing on for a book that I've been writing for them for like I said about a year right and I'll give you all the details and information on that book the further along we get there was a lot about it up in the air but one of the
Starting point is 00:19:06 requests that came through from the publisher was to list you know all the people you want to thank who have helped you you know create this book and uh that was one of those weird moments where it was kind of like we're not done with it yet but the fin you see the finish line you know what i mean like you see that because this is like a legit survival book i mean it's it's really well done from the from the uh it's like a full color graphics illustrations the whole thing's book you know what i mean it's really sweet And the thing I want to talk about time is, you know, in 20, God, I don't even know, 2009, 8, 7, something like that, I was writing a little journal book up in my apartment, you know, living with my then-girlfriend, now wife. And I was writing that little book, and I was writing, it was called The Diary of a Young Cook.
Starting point is 00:20:12 and then I was writing Danvers Lights, a fiction, a horror fiction, and thinking to myself how cool it would be to be a published author, you know, and with the advent of self-publishing, then, you know, I wrote a bunch of books and self-published those books and all that. But in the back of my head, I always had a goal, like I always wanted to be published by a publisher. Nothing wrong with self-publishing, and you guys have helped me out a lot with that in terms of making it violence. but it was a dream that died particularly like when the censorship world came into full phase right when full phase censorship hit and you saw what was happening with like the new york times bestseller list and all that kind of stuff it was one of those things it just seemed like that's not going to happen you know what i mean there's no there's no way you're going to get called on to publish a book from a publisher directly because of all that right because
Starting point is 00:21:12 of the fact that anything you can and say will be used against you. And, you know, there's a lot of me on the internet. You know what I mean? There's a lot of hours of me saying things that any publisher could find or people who would buy or support that publisher would find and say, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:32 I don't know. There's a lot of risk there, right? And, you know, you look back in 2020 and you think that that's the way the world it's going to be it's going to be that way forever and just is what it is and now it's just five years later but from the from inception it's 10 20 almost years later and it seems that it's happening you know so probably you know i don't know first quarter 2026 or second something like that you guys will be able to see it and be able to buy it and it will be you know
Starting point is 00:22:12 published as me not by me but as me you know and i can i don't remember the we built the book and then put it out to market type of thing you know what i mean so the quarto themselves are not the publishing house that's going to publish a book not that it really matters and the big thing and the big goal to me was always to be a published author to be an author that was published by a by a publisher you know what i mean not by james walton or walton liberty LLC or something along those lines. And it was a dream that got further and further and further and further away, man, all the time. And the more I podcasted and the more my buddies podcasted and the more we told the truth about
Starting point is 00:22:57 what we saw going on and the more we described what we do to live life and, you know, traverse our path back to stability, the further and further that dream seemed to get. It seemed to be like, well, there was like, there was like, there was a. route of traditional publishing and that route's shut off because it's you know I'm a white dude who the hell wants a book from a white dude in traditional publishing right over on top of that I'm a preber on top of that I'm a conservative on top of that I'm a Christian like forget about it you know what I mean um and then there was this other trajectory for publishing too which was was more conservative leaning but it was like you know Ben Shapiro's and Tucker Carlson's and
Starting point is 00:23:38 people with just gigantic, I call it no, duh, publishing, right? It's kind of like no duh publishing. It makes perfect sense. Like, here I am. I'm a guy with, you know, an audience of 30 million people. I'm going to put a book out. We're both going to make money. Hallelujah. I didn't fit in any of that, you know? So for me, this is a big deal. And I'm not telling you all this to pat myself on the back for it. That'll come. When I have the book in my hand, we can do a little bit of that. I'm telling you this because I watch these things happen in two facets of my life in one weekend, you know, or really come to fruition in two facets of my life in one week. And I know the holiday time is a time of reflection. It's a time we take some days
Starting point is 00:24:24 off for a change and think about our life, miss the things in our life that once were or never were, all that kind of stuff. And I'm kind of mirroring Dave Jones a little bit, right? When he talked about his Veterans Day speech just a couple weeks ago and how he had his first child at age 50 or whatever it was, right? A dream again that seemed impossible. And it's just a reminder that if you can stay on the path, if you can stay focused, if you can stay on target, time can do anything. You know what I mean? Because I'm telling you right now, guys, like in 2020, 2021. We lost our YouTube channel in 2022, I think it was. It really felt like we're on a trajectory that is so niche and so independent that like this idea that you're going to get picked up
Starting point is 00:25:21 by something. I wasn't even actively looking for a publisher at this moment. You know what I mean? I mean, I wasn't actively looking for a publisher when they emailed me either. But it was just one of those things. It was like, this is never going to happen. Like there's no way in the world that we live in now this is going to happen then you see AI like in the on the horizon and you're and you're like oh great any chance that that's that would happen they could just kick out a survival book with artificial intelligence why not and here we are here we are got the panels got the layout got the uh more to come on that you know there's too much there's i don't want to announce a book on top of a catalog on top of a fitness series on top of a whatever the hell
Starting point is 00:26:06 else is going on in your life. It's just too much. Okay. We are, this is why when I say we are the relentless prepper broadcasting network is because this is, this is PBN, this is me. This is not even counting everyone else on the network, you know, good luck. Good luck keeping up. Good luck. So I'm going to get out of here, folks. You are a massive reason why what I'm telling you has happened, first of all, right? The audience, the viability, the network. The legit. of it all is how I wind up with an email like that. So thank you for that. That's like I said, it's it's a literal dream come true. That's what it is. You know, it's years and years and years and years ago before kids, before marriage, before all of that kind of stuff thinking to myself,
Starting point is 00:26:53 hmm, golly gee, be nice to be a published author, huh? And then watching that sort of go up in flames, that idea of like, you know, you've been writing for years. But it's, there's no way. And then all of a sudden there's a way. Time. Give it its due. Stay on target. I'll talk to you guys soon, okay? I appreciate you.
Starting point is 00:27:18 I hope everything is lovely for you this holiday season. You will be seeing a lot of Christmas-y shit over the next few weeks. I would have had an elf hat on this morning, but it had jingle bells on it. And I thought that maybe the jingle bells would ruin the show. I'll have to test it. Suffice it to say we love this time of the year, okay? That's all there is to. You see that little shelf up there?
Starting point is 00:27:44 All that's all dedicated Christmas stories, books, videos, movies, the whole nine yards. And if you could see the rest of the house, you would laugh. I should get you guys a picture of my living room, which we don't live in a big house. And the living room gets engulfed by the Christmas tree every year. And it is fantastic. Okay? do what you want this holiday season and enjoy yourself talk to you soon folks
