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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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
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,
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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?
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
