You're listening to... to pay the end. You'll have back the stability here. Welcome in folks, PBN family. Back to it, I was out of here on Monday. A few things going on you know we did a really great interview yesterday with Anna Maria bounds that'll be on most likely tomorrow could be today Keegan keep an eye out for it if you think you know everything there is to know about kovat response, particularly in New York. If you think you know everything you know about college professors, right?

We make assumptions about these things. You're going to be very surprised when you meet Anna Maria Bounds on that amazing show. So I recorded that show and then the day just kind of went, you know haywire from there I had this idea of you know, maybe I will Maybe I will get Back into it. Maybe I'll do a midday show. Maybe I'll do an evening show. Maybe I'll do a late-night show And none of it worked none of it panned out, you know such as life

So so Monday we had no show today show brought to you by Lima by Lima Tango Survival. Let's get into that. Let's get into that because yeah we're gonna be talking about Lima Tango quite a bit today. I mean not you know nothing crazy but Lima Tango Survival puts out an incredible array of pre-made backpacks, smaller survival kits, major gigantic basically what I call whole bug out kits. You know what I mean? Like if you buried something like their Moab kit on a piece of land that you owned or a property that you had access to, you'd basically be burying a bug out location fundamentally. They do a great job. The ownership over there is amazing.

I don't want to talk too much about their personal business, but trust me when I tell you right now as we speak, they're literally negotiating the best price for you. I want to talk about preparing for the second half of 2025 today because there's a thing going on that we have to be very careful about and it is sort of the... We've talked about for a long time the Trump derangement syndrome and how people get crazy over Donald Trump, do crazy things, but we also have to be careful of the God Emperor Trump syndrome also First and foremost like we got to get away from this executive order Nightmare from one president to the next that's beside the fact now suffice it to say I

Think Donald had to come in and throw at least 50 Executive orders up just to get things back to normal. I talked about that before. But what we have to be really careful about is, well, here's what I see. Tariffs are what they are. Tariffs are going to be a thing. We've had the CEOs of Walmart and Target and other places come out and say, this is trouble, this is going to be trouble, and there's going to be less stuff available. That might hurt you, that might not. I can't remember the last time I

wandered into a Target or a Walmart. That said, I have a wife, and she wanders in a Target and Walmart and takes care of things that I probably don't think about. we don't think about. So that's a thing. What bugs me, what bothers me, what makes me worry most from time to time too often fundamentally. So I don't know if this evens out. What I do know is, or what I would like for you to do, let's go with that. What I would like for you to do is position yourself, check out this great background by the way while I put you in this scenario. Position yourself in such a way that you

have to deal with your boss who shows up to your job and tells you, today, doing your job is going to require that you do these things. You're going to have to make these calculations, these processes, this, that, and the other thing, right? Now imagine your boss shows up a week later and says, all right, we're changing things. And what you're going to have to do is a different set of calculations, a different day to day routine, different, bup, bup, bup, bup, bup, right?

What's happening to the world right now? Uh, recently Trump added port fees, came down on tariffs with China. Right? Did he come that Tara came? China came down on tariffs with us. He added port fees to the mix. We've had insane numbers of tariff rule changes. I should have got this number at the head of it all.

It's an insane number though. I don't know if I'm going to be able to get it. Latest on Trump's shifting import tax plan and what it means. Trump's just getting started. Trump has surprising jobs report. Major tariff loophole closed. Well, suffice it to say we are the podcast network that claims to be your path back to stability, right?

Economies, people, yada, yada, yada. These things really like stability. And what's happening with shipping to and fro and trade is instability, massive instability. And I think that the businesses in the United States and the people with money and even the people who have very little money are all looking at it and going, looks a little unstable. You know what I mean? Looks a little unstable you know what I mean looks a little unstable how many tariff and trade rules let's see see if we can get an AI answer that

sounds reasonable it's possible I'll know right off the bat. This AI will lie to you like you wouldn't even believe. Whatever you do with artificial intelligence just be very on the on the leery side, right? No, this isn't gonna do it for me. I'm not a huge fan. This is what I'll tell you. I'm not a huge fan of the guy and I'll tell you. I'm not a huge fan of the guy and I'll tell you He's kind of he definitely hates Trump with with every Fiber of his being but it's important to listen to people who don't agree with all the things that you agree with Okay, very important Jay Fergan chat. What is up? welcome

But the Peter Zion has been going over this stuff ad But Peter Zion has been going over this stuff ad nauseam, Trump's changing plans for tariffs and so on, rules, rules at the ports. This is my number one concern coming from the real world. We can take politics out of it, we can take nations out of it, so on and so forth. In 2020, I had a major realization. Might even have been 2019 because of the gun rules, but it was around there. 2019, 2020, I had a fundamental realization about life, particularly in the United States. And it was, you can have all the rules and laws and restrictions that you want, but without enforcement, who cares? Without enforcement, who cares? I think we are getting to that point. If the rules

continue to change on incoming, outgoing, shipping tariffs, port fees, tariff costs, tariff prices, calculating it, getting getting it right putting people in place who Know what they're doing need to be updated regularly on what's changing and so on. I Think we're getting close to the point where people start understanding that same thing right The the operations at the at the ports can get real cash money real fast You know what I mean just like anything else

so all of that basically says to me that people are going to peel back, pull back what they're spending. Now you guys, I was looking, I was doing a member's audit. A member's audit, if you're out there listening, you know what I'm talking about. I was doing Your thanks for the idea by the way, if I was looking over at all the lifetime members that have came on board in the last I don't know six months that we started it and Took my breath away folks took my breath away, you know what I mean? I know it's it is a great value and it is a great opportunity But it just really surprised me But I think for the most part we're gonna see consumers like

I'm just gonna wait it out. I'm gonna see what's what you know I think investments and big purchases and that kind of stuff. I do think we're gonna see a lot of people sort of Okay, let's let's take it. let's take it a little slow. You know what I mean? And we're definitely, what we're definitely not gonna see, right, is places like Walmart going, let's make no money so we can put stuff on the shelves for the people to deal with this whole tariff situation.

No, what you're going to see is either rising prices, duh, or less product. So what do you do about it all? That's the question, right? The fundamental question of today's podcast is preparing for the second half of 2025, what do you do? Since 2019, we've had a pretty good game plan. Well, 2020, we've had a pretty good game plan on preparedness, particularly when it comes to economic instability, political instability, whatever, because don't forget, like this tariff thing is one thing, and this whole shipping and yada, yada, yada, the little trade war with China is one thing. We're not remotely out of war. We are so far from being at peace. It's bonkers. You know what I mean? There are

battleships en route to Iran right now. We've amassed all kinds of shit right next to Iran like just being like come on let's get this deal done or else. You know, not that a protracted war with Iran would be you know tremendous. I think Israel's basically leveled all of their surface to air capabilities if I'm if I haven't been led astray by my sources, but I'm pretty sure that that's their situation. So like air attacks are kind of an at-will thing until they replace that, but then again Russia might say, you know what, we don't mind helping, we don't mind sending you some surface-to-air protection. protection. Preparing for the second half of 2025, one of the things that we've done well since 2020 is stay a season ahead, at least. I think it's highly beneficial to stay a season ahead

in your mentality, maybe two seasons, right? With what it is you're buying, putting away, and so forth. You're going to see in the show that we did yesterday, we talked about this, the interview from yesterday. I think this can serve you on all levels of your life. One of the things that you could do right now is look to the fall holidays and just take advantage. You could take advantage of all kinds of things right now when you start thinking about fall holidays. Really at the end of the day, I don't think that Americans are going to suffer in the ways that you would look at traditional suffering of situations like this. Nobody's starving over the tariffs. Nobody's starving in the second half of 2025.

It's not gonna happen. The food's not gonna go away unless we get into a real war where bombs are being dropped on the country. You know what I mean? Or a massive cyber... I always tell you war equals off-grid, so you got to be careful about that. Oh, I guess we should that. Oh, I guess we should mention that the... I mentioned this to the to the members. This one I was a member podcast last Thursday I think. If you become a member you get access to our Thursday Members Only podcast. Otherwise it's you know radio silence for me on Thursdays. It's a great audio podcast and none of this video nonsense But we talked about point zero energy solar generators going out of business and they are effectively out of business now Which is really sad because I think the Titan was an amazing unit. It really was an incredible unit

I still have one right here down below And we'll use it until it dies now, I guess you know it's Solar generators or something now. I will tell you that as strange as it is As strange as it is the week before 0.0 made their announcement that they were closing a 0.0 made their announcement that they were closing. A representative from Blue Eddy reached out to us here at PBN. So I don't know what all that will yield.

I don't know if that's going to become a partnership. To be honest, we have been running 0.0 Energy ads for some time on various shows. I never really told the hosts to stop running them because even though they weren't really paying a sponsorship money for those ads anymore, I always loved the company, you know what I mean? And I thought, I thought keeping an American, tested American, assembled solar generator company afloat, you know, was kind of worth it. So, but suffice it to say my allegiance was to them, you know what I mean?

And I wasn't really comfortable jumping ship on something like that, supporting another company. So it was really weird the timing that they go out of business and then, you know, like five days after Blue Eddy came to us. Really interesting, you know, I don't know much about them. We'll have to check them out. But all that said, you know, stay a season ahead on purchases because I think most Americans aren't going to suffer to the degree that you would assume

like full-scale economic collapse, no food, you know, no jobs, nothing like that. Your personal apocalypse is what it is and it can hit you at any time and you should be prepared for that, of course. You know, that's the most likely situation that you're going to deal with, right? And staying Personal apocalypse is what it is and it can hit you at any time and you should be prepared for that of course. That's the most likely situation that you're going to deal with. Staying a season ahead is fundamental, man. It's fundamental to your personal preparedness. I'm talking about personal apocalypse. I'm talking about when things go wrong for you and you look around and the rest of the

world is going right but you don't have a job and the bills are piling up and the debt is piling up and everything's piling up and you're saying to yourself what the hell if you stay a season ahead, whether it's 2025 or anytime. I don't mean sure everything up. I'm not saying like have the whole Thanksgiving dinner handled. I'm just saying you can put away a lot of stuff, canned, prepackaged, whatever, frozen, and just say this is this maybe we need it for Thanksgiving. If we don't, then we don't. You can do the same thing with gifts. You can do the same thing with whatever it is. Whatever that next season or the next two seasons presents for you.

Birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Holidays, right? All these things you know are coming. You know they're monumental and important and they cost money and they require resources, right? And if you're worried about the resources and the money thing, then get ahead while you can get ahead. You know, we used to do used to do things my wife and I Yeah, we can we can talk about this now on the air

We used to do things all through the Year when our boys were little and into toys, you know what I mean like little toys We clearance racks all cut. I mean I'm talking about April on. Like April on we would just pick, just grab a here and grab a there. This wasn't because we were being prepared. This was just because we wanted to have fun Christmas morning. And we would grab and pick and look at this, $1.25, $4, whatever it is. You know what I mean?

And then by the time December rolled around it was like, do we have to, what do we need? Do we need anything? You're like November, we would do typically big purchase stuff. You know what I mean? But by time December rolled around, it was like, you know, whatever, what, whatever we want to add now, you know, it, what the American people have to understand is what you're gonna suffer more than anything

Through the rest of this year's anxiety That's what you're gonna suffer most You may lose your job or whatever the situation is, you know I can't tell you exactly what the hell is gonna happen to you. I can't tell the future But I'm telling you the thing that you're going to suffer most is, is anxiety. You're going to roll into the store that you roll into to get the thing that you get and the thing's not going to be on the shelf and you're going to go, what I

do now, right? And maybe you can't find the thing that you need. So maybe you have to order it online or maybe it's up in price. You know, you know what I mean? Like it's not going to be a situation where we're totally out of it. You know what I mean? As a nation, there's no food, there's civil unrest in this. Well, there could be civil unrest in the streets.

I'm not. One thing's for sure. There is a storm gathering on the Democrat side and the Democrat politicians are fueling that storm. There's no doubt about it. They're shooting themselves in the foot fundamentally. You know what I mean, we need to get out in the streets and make problems Okay, there you got my vote So stay a season or two ahead

That's how that's how I will be preparing for the rest of the 2020 to a five-year now Some of that's already done for me You know what? I mean some of that preparing for the season ahead is so built into my personal lifestyle that it just is what it is. The way you shop can have a tremendous effect on your anxiety levels, your preparedness levels, whatever prices have to do with anything. with anything you know what I mean you we're in a unique position right now May 6th right where you where we can talk about like gardening hard garden hard for the rest of the year nothing bad can come from it you know what I mean nothing bad can come from it fire wolf forging chat what is up my man how you? How you feeling it is day four right today for day three? What is it day four of?

ration or ruin Mm-hmm. I feel fine to be quite honest with you right now Now today is a fat fasting slash forge slash whatever day But I don't know slash whatever day but I don't know I don't know I really don't know you know ration of ruin is we're gonna do a report on it I don't even have a scale do you know that fire wolf Forge I actually have to get a scale delivered because I don't even have a scale so I can't even put my weight in to figure out what's going on. Not that I'm really like worried about losing weight. I'm more worried about losing weight than I am about losing weight if

you get what I mean. Fundamentally I feel like I'm on a diet. That's what this challenge really feels like to me. It's like I'm on some kind of diet. There's a bunch of stuff that I want to eat and I look at it and I go like I'm probably better for it. Oh Dude I'm so sorry fire wolf. I'll get you that spreadsheet right after I'm you know what fire wolf You're gonna get a slot in the magic book. Okay, you want me to show you guys something you see this You see this beautiful leather bound from from England Beach more books Beach more books from London Beach more books from London 2025 plan I'm kind of like going Australian now. I usually do a better English. I've been listening a lot of English fellas lately

But without my plan I'd be ruined. Okay, seriously, you would never heard of me. Firewolf Ford spreadsheet. I got you, man. I've put zero information into the spreadsheet. I'm sorry, Ben. I got to get to it. Well, there wasn't anything to put into the spreadsheet really Saturday and Sunday Well, I guess there was yeah Whatever. I'll probably just start when I start and go from there

I can't give the ration or ruin any more of my my headspace You know what? I mean, it's tough enough to go on days like this where it's like, I don't know When I'm gonna eat when I'm not gonna eat what the situation is The one tough thing and we'll talk about more about it in the ROR report at the end of the week guys And if you don't know what ration of ruin is just tune into that The one tough thing about it is I can't dedicate my time and neither can Ben and neither can Dan to The foraging and the fishing that needs to be done. You know what I mean? Like really for this challenge to really For it to be a little bit more realistic. We would need more time to

To fish and forage and hunt and that kind of stuff for food on these off days, right? There's a lot of takeaways guys, you know a lot of things are gonna come out of ration or ruin I know it's crazy. I know the vast majority of you are like f off. There's no way I'm doing that And look, I don't it's not it's not a thing like that like as your highland Gotham get out all the survival challenges that that those guys and myself have done over the years at Dave Jones that those guys and myself have done over the years at Dave Jones. They're not like hangers on for you to take on. Like their personal growth and they are motivation, you know what I mean? For you and going forward for us.

So it's not like, you know, I want you to suffer through what I'm suffering through. I will tell you this though. One of the resounding things and it's going to affect my performance in Rash in a Ruin too, but I'll talk to that in detail probably at the end, but one of the resounding things that I've noticed from my family and Dan's family and Dave's family is they don't like it. Not that it's affecting them much, but the idea that dad's not eating right. And this is weird coming from Lady Liberty. You got to understand, she's a tough lady.

But even she's like, I don't like it. You know what I mean? And why that's important is because one of the big lessons that I've been thinking about and I'll solidify my thoughts at a later date is Particularly if you're a dude Prepper you think you're going to be a tyrant in the collapse Right, you think you're gonna get your family to do all these things. You think you're gonna get your family to eat this do this to do all these things. You think you're gonna get your family to eat this, do this, practice this, you know, whatever the situation. You think you're gonna be something of a doomsday tyrant in your own home. And what all these little

things, particularly the rationale ruined more than anything else, has shown me is that your family is gonna be your family. You know what I mean? They're not gonna all bow down to you and say, please daddy, tell us what we must do today in the collapse, right? If I will forge it says it as well. She says the wife is going through the stages of grief right now. You know? Yeah, we'll see. We'll see. How about that? We'll see. Like I said, it feels much more like a diet than a challenge. There has been a lot of big benefits, but I don't want to go too overboard. Garden hard. Garden hard. There's no loss. There's no way you can lose. If you're preparing for the second half of 2025, garden hard. Get out there. Put seeds wherever you can put seeds. I've got seeds in more

Garden hard. Get out there. Put seeds wherever you can put seeds. I've got seeds in more planners this year than I've ever had before and that's good. I like that. I don't want to go into the whole garden breakdown but suffice it to say you want to prepare for the second half of 2025. Garden hard. Seed, reseed, right? All those kinds of things. And start now planting and planning for your fall garden. You can plant for your fall garden now. I don't care what anybody says. You know what I mean? I have pumpkins in the ground already. You know what I mean? They'll be around. I'll show you. I love squashes. I love pumpkins. I love zucchinis. I love yellow squash, butternut squash, spaghetti squash, acorn squash. I don't give a shit. I love it all because it all produces like crazy and it's all delicious.

And it's easy. You know what I mean? If you got some room and if you can run the vines where you want to run the vines, do like don't kill yourself. Grow the stuff that grows a lot of food. But grow a lot. Who cares? And if you look, you might not be the guy that gets hit with the personal apocalypse.

But it might be your neighbor. And they might be like, dude, the zucchini and squash and tomatoes and basil and all that kind of stuff made a world of difference. Oh, also on the garden hard. I had creamy chicken flavored rice for dinner last night, ready hour. It's a rough food to eat on its own. It's just rice in chicken broth fundamentally that's thickened and has 17,000 different preservatives in it.

But chicken flavored rice, creamy chicken flavored rice is made much better with a egg cooked in butter on top with some fresh chopped oregano and a bunch of torn up turnip greens and As I was eating that that's what I had for dinner last night Because I'm in the cultivator class so I have the ability to use the food that I'm growing slash raising to supplement the survival food that I have to eat also right and What that was a serious reminder of is I didn't use a lot of food. I used one egg. I ate eggs earlier in the day, but I used one egg for this. I used a sprig of oregano and I don't know, like a handful of greens from one of my beds, or pots even and what that really reminded me of was the difference that your little garden and your little bit of hens can make in a survival situation in other words you bust open the survival food and you're

like okay we're eating this survival food which is not like what we're used to we're not door dashing chicken tacos, you know what I mean? You can take very little amounts of herbs, very little amounts of greens, very little amounts of a egg, two eggs, and turn something that is kind of shit when it comes to dinner. Like to eat creamy chicken flavored rice for dinner sucks. There's nothing around it. Like there's no getting sucks. There's nothing around it. There's no getting around it. There's no world where you eat that and go like, that felt like dinner.

But those little core ingredients, just a few of those fresh ingredients that you could grow in a windowsill and on a porch. Now you might not be able to get the egg, but you can at least add the herbs and the greens to Regular rice and make it something special rice and beans and make it something special, right? so garden hard Garden hard get the chickens

Garden hard and get them chickens. Yeah, so uh Another thing you're going to hear is touch on in tomorrow's interview or today's interview whenever we get to it is thrifting. If you're not into thrifting, then don't be into thrifting. I don't care. Thrifting has broke my ability to shop commercially fundamentally for a lot of things. It really has broke me. It just has.

I can't go back. I can't go back I can't go back you know like I Almost walked out of a like with a brand new dresser out of a thrift shop the other day for like 35 bucks It was 75 bucks. They had it on sale for a half If I didn't have my fishing poles in a cooler in the back of my truck Then I would have walked out of there with that thing because I do need a new one. There's two things that's going on man. A lot of people are dying.

A lot of people are retiring, downsizing, a lot of people are dying. This is a boon from the baby boomers is what's happening right now I think. And it's also a boon from Americans just having too much crap. It's all going to thrift shops. It's hardly hardly been used any of it. You know what I mean? It's just sitting there waiting for you You could go buy a French press at a thrift shop for like three dollars or you can go buy a French press on Amazon for $17 $35 right You could go buy any coffee mug you wanted a thrift shop for dollar 52 dot whatever

You know what I mean any book that you could find you. I mean, it's insane It's insane the clothes the bike you see me in them button-down shirts, dude. I don't buy any of that stuff retail There is not a button-down shirt that I own there might be one button-down shirt that I own that I bought retail Maybe I don't even remember where I got that gray one. I have a gray one. I think I either bought or made my wife bought it for me. I'll never buy a button down shirt again. Never.

You know what I mean? I'll rent a tuxedo before I buy a button down shirt because you know, that's the only, you know, for something real important, but it's madness to me. My kids do it now. My kids don't shop for clothes. My kids work for their money, a lot of it. We buy stuff, but they work for their money, a lot of it. I'm not going to go into what they do, but they work for their money.

It's beautiful, first of all. They're really good at saving. I don't know how they must well their mother's phenomenal at saving. So that's where they get that from their father. Not so much. But anyway, you know, they go shopping and through it, you want to go to the thrift ad, and they'll go there and they'll get like whatever it is they're looking for, you know what I mean? They'll find it. It's almost impossible for a rational human being to go to a thrift store and look at this stuff and then go to a target and be like, Oh yeah, I'll pay five times what I could pay at a thrift shop.

You know, I mean, there are hard limits, right? You're not putting thrift, you're not rifling through the thrift store boxer shorts. You know what I mean? There are hard limits and things that you got to buy, but thrift, I mean, the money that you could save, just do it. Thrift. I mean, the money that you could save, just do it for one month. Say you know what? Everything that I'm going to go buy for the house or for whatever, I'm going to try to thrift store first, then compare it to retail, even compare it to Amazon, right?

And you're going to go, I can't believe the money that I save. You know what I mean? You're going to say that I cannot believe the money that I save. I go to one thrift shop in particular. I can walk in there with $10 and solve multiple problems in my life. You know what I mean? So yeah, in preparation for the second half of 2025, get into the thrift stores. I'll tell you one thing, and this may be more for an anxiety Maybe better for managing anxiety than anything else. I Would highly recommend I

Would highly recommend Portioning the IRA and I don't even have a link. I should have a link. I should make a bunch of money off of you I should do all these things You should take a portion at least of your retirement and put it in gold There's a bunch of companies out there that do it. We had a sponsor not long ago I still have an affiliate link with them Maybe I'll put it up we'll talk about it in more detail because because of the market volatility and I think it's gonna remain pretty volatile I don't know. I don't study this stuff.

I don't own a stock, okay? Fundamentally, that's the reality. But if I had money in an IRA and I was watching this, like today I'm rich, I'm broke, I'm rich. If I were watching that and losing my mind over it, rather than lose my mind I'd say Gold will stay stable It always does gold has only gone up in my lifetime. You know what I mean? I've only watched gold go up in my lifetime I mean like you know over time

If you you have to understand the value of stability through this stuff and when I say stability, I mean your mental stability Like don't take it for granted. You know what I'm saying? L to survive in chat Man, I used to resale stuff from storage units and thrift shops you resale stuff you buy from these places and then buy new stuff With the profits. Yeah, I mean you could do that too if you want to get all get get all capitalist on it. I don't have the motivation to do all that but That's a thing. You know, you could make a killing off probably off hard pay hardback books alone Just the resale of those things if you wanted to do a little side hustling

I'm talking about alleviating anxiety and stress and preparing yourself for the second half of 2025. It is good advice though L2 Survive. L2 Survive is phenomenal man. Go check out his YouTube channel. Go check out his latest review. It's got a weird name. I can't remember what the name of the thing was but it's this awesome power bank. It's sort of like the power bank Evolution right before your very eyes solar powered magnetic charge awesome So check them out l2 survive over there at YouTube go subscribe long time supporter of PBN So Yeah, I had to find a safe haven in gold for sure if I were in the IRA

You know try not to lose my mind over watching businesses go. What's Trump doing today? What's the market doing tomorrow? What's this? What's that? What's the war gonna do all this kind of stuff? The key To surviving America, which is my show tomorrow, but the key to surviving America right now is you building your own stable ground and also eliminating as much day-to-day mental anxiety and stress as possible because you're going to be bombarded with news. Unless you make it a point not to be touched by the news, you know what I mean? But you're going to be bombarded with news unless you make it a point not to be touched by the news, you know what I mean?

But you're here. So chances are you're going to be bombarded by news, right? So that's kind of the deal. You know what I'm saying? I mean, that really feels like the deal. I would say another big one, and this is an ROR. We'll talk about this on Friday also. But it might be a good time to invest in if you don't already.

Some of you do. I know you've got big freezers. You've planned for this, that kind of thing. But it might be a good time to invest in some protein. It might be a good time to invest in a freezer full of meat. It might be a good time to invest in a freezer full of meat. It might be a good time to invest in those things because it takes one thing off the plate. Now all of a sudden it's like I got a freezer full of steaks, chicken, pork, whatever, fish, whatever it is. You don't have to

think about it as much. You know what I mean? And the cost of those proteins and all that kind of stuff, of course, if things continue the way they're going, it's going to go up. It's going to go up. Even with the situation that farmers are facing in a variety of different ways. I just don't see a reason why the cost of beef in particular, something like that's going to go down. At least until I see gas go down. I keep hearing that gas is gonna go down. I don't see it going down, right? At least not here in Virginia. So, this is my advice, you know, preparing for 2025.
