Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to P.B.N. You're paying back the stability. Back in the epic times, folks, it's Friday. It's Friday. I guess what we're going to do, newspaper and riffing on the news type Friday. Because these things are coming more than I thought they were going to be coming, which is great. I love it. I think that reading the newspaper is a lost art, to be quite honest with you. There's something about, like, the posture of the telly and the glowing of the screen and the showing of the screen and the show.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Shang-sung effect. Like, I feel like my soul is being sucked down into the telephone. Sometimes you ever feel like that? And then you get out of the phone and go outside and it's like, whoa, this is a different thing. So yesterday I was getting into this paper and sitting out back, basically getting donating blood to the massive amounts of mosquitoes in my backyard, but also reading the newspaper outside. You know what I mean? Just like reading it outside. and waiting for my wife to come home from a hair appointment
Starting point is 00:01:45 who looked stunning in her approach. And then, I don't know, it was just one of those things. You know what I mean? It was one of those, it's a casting back to another time. Okay, so we're going to read news today. We're going to riff a little bit. This may be our Friday thing. I am, I'm trying to figure something out real quick.
Starting point is 00:02:09 there's a whole there's a whole another sort of situation unfolding oh cool good we're good I think we're good
Starting point is 00:02:20 there's a whole another situation unfolding that we're going to talk about a little later I got the old hand slap from YouTube this morning one of those wonderful
Starting point is 00:02:28 emails from YouTube I never get those like a good email from YouTube YouTube is YouTube's like the wife I never wanted YouTube just drudges stuff up from the past, shakes it in my face, tells me I'm terrible.
Starting point is 00:02:46 You know, today we got a, today we got a, a show from 2023, a, a podcast, no video, just a literal audio podcast from 20203, popped up on my, you know, you did a boo-boo email from, from, from, you know, YouTube and they were like, we're taking your content down. And this incredible piece of content, you're going to have to see it. You're just going to have to wait to see it to see the kind of insanity that I spew on a daily basis here on PBM, okay, the kind of rhetoric, the kind of dangerous talk that we have here daily on the prepper broadcasting network. But thank God, two years later, the safety net of YouTube caught us. you know and got it taken care of because god only knows what this podcast could have done to society
Starting point is 00:03:46 we'll talk about it you guys will get a kick out of it for sure so suffice it to say we're not on youtube today we are on x we are on rumble and for the first time we're on kick what's up kick i think my my youngest told me to get on kick so fun having kids is so fun but one of the coolest things about kids is when they're like listen to this song this anime get on this platform and you do it and you don't regret it and it's actually really cool easy ways to add extra fun to your homeschool what is the future of school folks you know seriously like what is the future of school oh cool they got a kids only section how did the squirrel get lost in the forest oh i have to save that
Starting point is 00:04:39 one for my wife she would like that one how did the squirrel get lost in the forest it took the wrong route uh what else we got music playlist movie lessons stickers try unit studies we have any um any homeschoolers in the audience it's big man it's growing
Starting point is 00:05:00 it's growing uh this year in this week in history mr president's first our president theodore roosevelt loved adventures. He was the first president to ride a submarine flying an airplane, have a telephone in his home, publicly ride in a car, exclamation point. August 22nd, 1902, nine years after the first car was built in America. And one year before Henry Ford started the Ford Automobile Company, Eddie was driving around in the car. People probably thought it was going to blow up. It probably was like AI back there. You know what I mean? I don't know. I'm not too into life and tradition this week. This is usually a really good section.
Starting point is 00:05:46 I mean, it is a good section. I'm not too into it. This is a good one for all you lovers and married couples out there. How to have a memorable date at home. If you've tried to have a date elsewhere, you realize it's like we've got to refinance the mortgage to go out and eat. We'll go out and go shopping. you better out there
Starting point is 00:06:10 the most romantic thing you can do might be lighting a candle and turning off your phone well I will say that for certain right for certain
Starting point is 00:06:18 the more you can wean off the cell phone the better really particularly in the presence of others right any more it feels like it like
Starting point is 00:06:30 any more it feels like the cell phone is just this limited time thing right it's getting so out of control and so crazy and the internet itself is so wild 1950 dinner in a movie for two costs only eight dollars and forty two cents that seems expensive for that doesn't resonate with what my dad told me about 1950 right how expensive was it the dinner because my dad would always tell me in
Starting point is 00:07:02 1950-ish when he was like, you know, a young guy, like a young little boy, that he'd roll up in movies for like a couple quarters and have food. So I don't know where they were eating. It must have been a really fancy dinner or something. A 1950 dinner in a movie for two costs $8.42. Today that same classic date can easily set you back $80 or more. Definitely more. Kid a me, dinner for two?
Starting point is 00:07:29 And a movie? Top-phone, candy, soda? I spend $80 just taking my, like, my two kids to the movies. Easy. Not even thinking about dinner, right? Actually, if I got, if I could take my wife to a movie and dinner for $80, that would feel like a really good night. That would make me two, two for dinner's not too bad, actually. We don't drink, so.
Starting point is 00:08:00 But if you're out there, you know, cranking them. craft beers or glasses of wine. I'm sure that bill goes up fast. This doesn't need you have to kiss the romance goodbye. Going out isn't the only way to have a memorable date, a beautiful evening to be homemade, crafted by
Starting point is 00:08:18 a little thoughtfulness. Set the mood, silence the phones. I'm reading you subheadings right now because I don't play getting into it all. C2. You guys even know how to navigate a newspaper? I'm just realizing that now. I don't even know if people know how to navigate a newspaper.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Treat the meal with intentionality. Preparing and consuming food with other people is a time-hallowed tradition. Wear your nicest clothes. That's an interesting one, right, around the house. Choose active rather than passive entertainment. What do I mean? Play a game, ask each other questions, plan, and dream about the future. Stargates
Starting point is 00:09:04 Victor Hugo wrote What is love I have met in the streets A very poor young man who was in love His hat was old, his coat worn A water passed through his shoes And the stars through his soul Hmm Not bad, Vic
Starting point is 00:09:25 What'd guys think? It's gonna be like, Like, without, without capability, you're going to be doing some things like that. Home section is a really good opinion piece about, from the AI, the AI and tech wizard. We probably should read it. Okay, Rubikik, let me get it. It's good. It's all about school. It's all about school.
Starting point is 00:10:02 and sort of like teaching kids right now about things that artificial intelligence is going to do in the future assuming we can power it assuming we can power it and want to power it and it doesn't become the greatest nightmare that we've ever crafted unlearning the factory mindset how education must evolve in the AI era
Starting point is 00:10:30 you guys like even my kids know just from YouTube shorts like the whole uniformed rigor of the old school system or the current school system really right
Starting point is 00:10:44 shifts and times and classes and uniforms and straight lines and on time and everything along those lines like the goal was to build a predictable workforce this model of education work
Starting point is 00:10:59 but it also stripped away many of the traits that define what it means to be human. Curiosity was replaced by compliance, imagination, by instruction, and motion once by standardized testing. We split the world into silos, math, in one room history, and another literature far from science, your body separated from the mind. That division didn't just fragment knowledge. It fragmented us. You should definitely check out K. Rubik, if you're into artificial intelligence.
Starting point is 00:11:31 It's not like the technology of it, but the human response to it. Like where you should be, where your head space should be watching all this stuff come to be. You know what I mean? It's the best thing in the whole paper every week, literally. Like, it's usually, she's usually front page on the opinion section of the news, but it was a little buried this week. And I thought it would, like, she didn't have an article in there. I was like, damn. Because they're always good.
Starting point is 00:12:07 And this one is just, this is a good one because it's about success in the future. Really, your children's success in the future. And what to nurture in them because they're still stuck in that silo mentality, right? And that's going to be what it is. It's not like the public school is going to rapidly change how it does business. I don't want to go into personal stuff, but she goes on to say the future will belong to those who can see patterns across domains, who can think in systems, and who can ask the kinds
Starting point is 00:12:40 of questions that machines cannot. Which is a weird one. Like, how curious is AI, or is it curious at all? Knowledge is not a set of files, but a web of meaning. Wisdom requires context and understanding grows not in silos but in synthesis. Yeah, it's a great, it's a great one, man. Kay Rubichick, I'm telling you, follower. I don't know if you look out or what.
Starting point is 00:13:16 I don't know the whole deal. What I do know is that, you know, the columns in here each week are just asking the kind of questions that we need to ask. Home. Home is fun. They do a good job with home, man, for sure. Not too bad. Not too bad. Wow. Troublesome. Bumpka-dea. What is that? Impressive. Impressive. It's quiet. You know what? it's so quiet because we're not on YouTube. You want to see the YouTube thing?
Starting point is 00:14:04 Let's see the YouTube thing. I'll explain it to the podcast audience too because you guys don't get to see it. But I specifically put it up here. I screenshot what I got on a Friday morning, by the way. Like, come on YouTube. On a Friday morning, I get this. Hi, prepper talk.
Starting point is 00:14:20 It looks like, stop worrying about ammo with Dan from Ammo Squared. didn't follow community guidelines to help keep our community safe you messed up you broke the firearms policy read the firearms policy
Starting point is 00:14:39 it's hilarious my son shows me like YouTube shorts of guys fully automatic glocks shooting him off you know what I mean and I'm sitting here and this isn't even a video this what we got in trouble for
Starting point is 00:14:56 Today is not even a video. It's an audio-only podcast to me talking to the owner of Ammo Squared, which, by the way, Ammo Squared is it is the only ammunition solution there is in the world for me, okay?
Starting point is 00:15:13 Check them out, Ammo Squared. You could probably use our promo code PBN10 too. Still, they were a sponsor back in 2023. I don't think the world was, our world was ready for them yet I don't think they understood what An amazing thing.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Well, our hosts jumped right on it. I mean, jumped right into it. But anyhow, that's what we got the hand slap for. That's why we can't stream or post on YouTube for the next seven days. We got grounded. We got grounded because we sat down with the owner of Ammo Squared and talked about ammunition types, buying it, how the process works. Crazy to me. what they come up with you know what i mean i could go find you
Starting point is 00:15:58 20 videos right now in rapid succession of things that should never be on the internet and they're over here slapping my wrist over an audio podcast i you know it really is a brutal platform youtube is youtube is a brutal platform if i didn't have so many people telling me you should be on you you should be on you should be on it's a wide net James. You can cast a wide net and get a lot of followers and get a lot of people that come to the podcast. If I didn't have people I respected and, you know, who really, I didn't know we're out to try to help the network and I would never even go on it. Well, it is a good one, man. How Epsom salt helps plants thrive. My father-in-law was huge on this. He would always put the Epsom salt on the plants.
Starting point is 00:16:51 At one point, you may have soaked your tired feeding Epsom salt. but EFNs starts goes beyond the tub. You can take it to the garden as well. Also cold magnesium sulfate. You know, magnesium is one of those things that work. Like, almost everyone is, like, slightly deficient in anymore. It's a big deal. It's one of the, I don't, like, take a lot of supplements,
Starting point is 00:17:16 but it's one of those ones that's real close. It's real close to making its way into the cabinet. many plants yearn for these components talking about the magnesium sulfate many plants yearn for these components to grow vibrant greenery and produce beautiful flowers here's how to use that from the garden and which plants will benefit from it it is one of those things you could tell particularly the dark green leaves on the tomato plants and the pepper plants my father-in-law would use the epsom salt you could see it i mean you could say come home and look at our like our cherry tomatoes
Starting point is 00:17:57 i'd be not fine you know what i mean green fine looked like normal plants and you would and all paul's freaking tomato plants would be like this dark i mean like a dark forest green you know what i mean and thicker leaves too now he did a lot to his he was sort of a master with the soil you know what i And he really fell in love with the modification and amendments of soil. And it showed. I know it really did. Okay. Signs your garden lacks magnesium.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Your garden may be telling you that it needs magnesium. For example, according to Traxler's stunted growth or yellowing leaf. And a yellowing leaf at the end of August, I know you do. She also noted that plants with very few blossoms or fruits that appear small and unnourished may also be deficient. That being said, other problems can cause similar signs. The only way to know if your garden lacks magnesium is to have it tested. You don't have to have it tested, folks. You can test it yourself.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Soil test kits are dirty, cheap. Pretty easy to get your hands on. Might as well do it. Plants that like Xum, tomatoes are hungry uses of magnesium. There we go. We're just talking about hydrangeas, monodendrons, roses. Epsin on the roses. Pepper is also prone to magnesium deficiencies.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Other vegetables that love it. Cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli. I don't know. I've grown cabbage like years and years and years ago before I stopped. I don't really grow anything that grows one of a thing. It's kind of like a rule of mine. Like I don't plant a seed if it's going to grow one thing. I don't grow broccoli.
Starting point is 00:19:46 I don't grow like. Heads of lettuce. I don't grow cabbage, cauliflower. I'm not a big fan. It's one seed for one thing just doesn't make sense to me. You know what I mean? I want to grow things because I don't live on a thousand acres. You know what I mean? Space is a thing. Sun is a thing lately that's been killing me, but space is definitely a thing. And it just makes sense. If I can plant one seed and get, you know, pounds and pounds of something, why would, why, why plant one seed and dedicate one growing spot to a one head of broccoli? We love broccoli, too. The kids would love it. It's weird. My kids love broccoli, man. That's a thing that, like, it's been going
Starting point is 00:20:41 that way for so long now. I'm just used to it. But my kids love broccoli. And I think it's It's because you give it to them raw, you know what I mean? Or maybe you don't know what I mean. If you raise your kids with a garden and you eat out of the garden with them and they see like the, they see like, oh, we can just rip stuff off of this garden and eat it, then they just grow up doing that. And then they get used to eating raw vegetables. And the weird thing is that the fresh vegetables that are cooked, they don't even really like that much.
Starting point is 00:21:15 you know it really does like turn into like i don't know if it triggers the old hunter-gatherer in them but they always favored raw vegetables oh this is good the old rat tattooy it is rat tattooy time for sure rat tattooey not the movie but the actual dish one globe egg plant this is like an shhths chef's segment now I didn't do one S.HTF chef this week. Large yellow onion, two red bell peppers, two zucchini, two zucchines. No yellow squash?
Starting point is 00:21:54 Oh, yellow squash. Yeah, zucchini or squash or yellow squash. Both. So I do one or the other. If you're growing them, you got them coming out of your ears. I know it. Four medium vine ripen tomatoes diced, four sprigs, fresh basil, balsamic vinegar, no thanks.
Starting point is 00:22:13 I don't like you. Yeah, I don't know. Not a huge fan of throwing balsamic vinegar on top of everything, you know? Hey, Firewolf. What's up, man? Yeah, I guess I should have briefed you guys on that. We got grounded by YouTube this morning. They put us in the corner.
Starting point is 00:22:33 They put us in the corner for seven days over a podcast. It's three years old or two years old or something like that. That's how they roll. You know the deal. For those of you who are new, our entire YouTube channel destroyed, eliminated over the same bullshit with a podcast. I mean, it was the same thing.
Starting point is 00:22:56 It was like a 2020-1 podcast and they killed our YouTube channel in 2023. Crazy. Because we dared question the election results. Oh my God. How dare you? How dare you question the auto pen? We dared question the auto pen. back in 2021.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Right? You remember the age of digital tyranny and dictatorship like you've never seen before? So what is rat tattooing, man? It's an awesome little side dish. It can also be like a really like a ragu of vegetables, right? A collection of vegetables cooked together. Cooked in a certain order, right? You don't want to start with the soft tomatoes and then throw in the zucchini five minutes later.
Starting point is 00:23:42 You want to cook the hardest stuff. Just ain't garlic, right? There'd be some garlic in this thing. One thing about rat tattooing for me, it's excessive amounts of garlic. Or garlic cloves chops. Not bad. Not bad. You know?
Starting point is 00:23:58 All that kind of stuff. So, yeah, phenomenal. Phenomenal little dish. It really is sort of a dumping ground dish for your summer garden, too. If you're, like, overwhelmed by tomatoes, overwhelmed by Zuki. This is a great one. Dump and do all that. and yeah it's good it's a good dish give it a world you can dice stuff up the cool thing about rat tattoo is how you shape the vegetable is up to you
Starting point is 00:24:26 the most rat tattooing the classic and traditional rat tattoo is like diced everything diced about the same size you know that kind of thing but you can also do like a sliced rat tattooey almost baked in the oven right You can bake it in the oven. You can use, if you're good with a knife, you can slice things all, like, into rounds. You can slice your zucchini into rounds, you know, and do it that way in the pan or baked, covered in olive oil, sprinkled with your minced garlic into the oven. Yeah, half moon, that kind of, it's cool. Big old chunks, tiny small little chunks. What I like is this Ragu style that they have here.
Starting point is 00:25:14 I like it over like a pan-a-pasta. You know what I mean? It's a meal. Very low of protein, but it's a meal. It's a good. It's a good meal. Protecting your junipers from juniper blight. You guys grow juniper?
Starting point is 00:25:30 I don't know. I don't know juniper. How to organize your kitchen cabinets. You know, one of the thing that's so sweet about reading the news is I can't swipe to an unending list of things that should distract me, right? Great idea, man. Oh, you're talking about a mandolin? Firewall Forgeon is talking about the mandolin.
Starting point is 00:26:00 You've got to get her a, you can get her two things, man, that she'll never cut herself again. There's usually like a safety piece with a black handle on it. A mandolin is like a flat plane that you put, vegetables across. You set it up or hold it, and there's a little blade that's offset. You can offset it as much as you want, right? It's an awesome little tool if you know how to use it, but I have seen a lot of people
Starting point is 00:26:26 get cut by it. But if you put that safety on top, you really can't get cut by it. It does kind of suck, though, when you're trying to do things fast. The other thing you can buy, though, is a cut glove. The cut gloves are legit. But when I worked in like corporate catering, everybody had to have a cut glove on. Didn't matter how good you were with a knife or not, right? Cut glove is cool.
Starting point is 00:26:51 It's like a little, almost like a little chain mail glove. You can just get one for her right hand. She could do her thing with the cut glove. And she'll never get cut again. I promise you that if I will forge, though, did say eggs on top. Eggs on top of the rat, that to-y. That would be delicious, man. Eggs on top.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Is the camera tracking me? Do you guys mind if the AI camera tracks me here? I turned it on by act. The hand gesture thing is kind of cool. It's also kind of a pain in the air. I'm not going to lie. Everyday cheapscape on greed and gratitude. Yeah, this got to go.
Starting point is 00:27:28 See my high five. How to teach children not to be tempted by greed and instead become generous. What do you guys think about that? What do you guys think about that? For the first three, what, 2018 to 21, 22, 23, five years probably of running PBN. I didn't really think about outside of sustaining the business. I didn't really think about money that much.
Starting point is 00:28:07 You know what I mean? Like I'm talking about like, What can we really do with this thing? I didn't really think about it that much. Then I started thinking about money and the monetization of a variety of things. And it did ruin me a little bit. It did. Years later now, there are switches that I have trouble turning off.
Starting point is 00:28:32 And there are switches that I have trouble turning on. You know what I mean? Which are like this kind of a show. you know what I mean like this kind of a show this which I really love which is just a whatever the hell it is it's just a yapp session for the fun of it not only for me but for you you know what I mean get into this rigorous like this segment and this segment and this affiliate link and this sponsorship and this and this and this oh man that's a slow death that's the petite mort right
Starting point is 00:29:07 but all that said you know if you want something to be successful you can't just give everything away either right there's a balance let's see what they think here as you get older you're going to discover an enemy that everyone has to deal with at some time
Starting point is 00:29:28 in his or her life the enemy isn't like a bad guy the enemy is greed what is greed the feeling of wanting everything you can think of is called greed is that greed is greed the feeling of wanting everything you can think of or is greed like literally piling up more and more and more financially or whatever or is greed what greed really is i think none of that i really even think is that bad what I do think is bad is when you start to do things that compromise other people or do things that compromise your own integrity, character, and so on, for those reasons, right? So in other words, you're working on this living, you know, you pay your bills, yada, yada, yada, do that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:30:23 And then you want to go eat a big meal, spend money on a hobby, whatever the situation is. and maybe it's over the top. What is your money? You know, the way you won't earn it. I think greed gets involved like you could help someone out, but you don't. Or you get in front of someone maybe like hypothetically or in reality and steal an opportunity away from them that you didn't even really need, right? Yeah, it's one of those.
Starting point is 00:30:56 The problem with greed, no, we don't need to do that. The antidote for greed. Here we go. This is an interesting one. Let's see the antidote for greed. There's another word for the solution or, oh, this is really written for you. You prove your gratitude. The antidote for greed is to be thankful for what you already have.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Not always wishing and hoping for things you do not have. You prove your gratitude when you're willing to give away part of the three keys. Your time. talent and your treasure. Everyone, no matter how young or poor, has some or all three. I like that. Giving away your time, talent, or treasure. That's pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:31:40 This looks like almost like a reprinted article. But it's from a frugal living blog called Everyday Cheapescape. That's an interesting one. Be willing to give away some of your time. and effort, you'll find joy and contentment. And this is what I love about the newspaper, okay? You go from on greeting gratitude, and the article below it is the debate about privatizing social security.
Starting point is 00:32:17 I'm not even going to get into that with you. I want to read that alone. You know what I mean? Smart ways to feed hungry teens. poof it's another one I want to read the newspaper doesn't know your algorithm
Starting point is 00:32:34 you know what I mean like the newspaper doesn't it's not playing the game of I'm going to guess what James Walton wants to watch right now or I'm going to guess the type of content that James Martin wants to watch right now
Starting point is 00:32:46 in order to sell him ads you know what I mean it's way cooler start with Philly Staples Chili, stir fries, rice, and vegetables with ground beef. Breakfast for dinner is always a win. Breakfast for dinner, I love it. I mean, love it.
Starting point is 00:33:09 It is one of the best dinners, period. You know, when you haven't had it, especially if you don't have a decent breakfast. I'm lucky I get to cook breakfast every day. But if you haven't had, like, a decent breakfast, like, waffles and pancakes and bacon and eggs and maybe even like some orange juice or something. Man, hash browns, right? Breakfast for dinner. We breakfast for dinner in like October and it's raining out and everybody in the house has got hoodies on.
Starting point is 00:33:45 You watch a movie and it's going to run. That's and it's the cheapest, you know what I mean? That's the funny thing about it. It's also like to achieve it. Pizza Night, DIY pizza night. We've been doing that for years in our house. Double up when you cook. Double up when you cook's a good one.
Starting point is 00:34:06 That's a good one. That's a good one for canning food. Let the slow cooker do the heavy lifting, man. Yeah, I broke our slow cooker a while back and never replaced it. That may have been, that may be something that should return. Make a meal plan. Buy in bulk thoughtfully. it's huge
Starting point is 00:34:27 I mean that's a huge one A lair of mothball Poisoning for cats Oh no this is dogs too Maggie my eight year old retriever mix Has a soft lump here shoulder Her thought it was a different veterinary question International photography
Starting point is 00:34:47 Competition prizes up to 38,000 Best Chinese photographer Best sports photography Best World commemorating the 250th anniversary of American Independence Award. Pretty cool. Hey,
Starting point is 00:35:04 get the newspaper back in your life, folks. I'm telling you. I can't say I won't always be, but I'm definitely not making money on the Epic Times or anything like that. It's not to say I won't be writing for them one day. It's not to say I won't be shilling. for them for an affiliate gig
Starting point is 00:35:27 or something like that but I didn't get into it for that you know what I mean I got into it because it's fun it's fun it's a it's a serious departure from like Yahoo news page that just has too much on it
Starting point is 00:35:46 too much stuff no one cares about too much stuff designed to make you click but has virtually no substance at all too much anonymity right The one beautiful thing about a newspaper is you read a newspaper. You see a picture of the guy or gal who wrote it and they're named next to it. You know, the smallest thing, like the smallest portion of a Yahoo news story is the person who's name who wrote it. You know, everything else, it's dominated on both sides by ads.
Starting point is 00:36:15 It's dominated by all kinds of headlines and it's one of those things. Let's take a look at something real quick before we go. because they have been kind enough to make this podcast possible. So I want to show you guys the prepper disk. Another departure from, I was thinking about the prep or disc the other day last night, actually. So the prepper disk looks like kind of a hard drive, like a disconnected hard drive. It's like something you would plug into. a computer or something along those lines
Starting point is 00:36:57 a big backup drive of information but really what it is is a Raspberry Pi build base that you connect your devices to using Wi-Fi. The PrepperDisc contains
Starting point is 00:37:12 insane amounts of information and it's stop staring at me. It contains giant archives of wikis I-fix DIY repairs survival manuals prepping information
Starting point is 00:37:31 the what's the collection of books called I always forget it let me go to much more you can see what they got in here ready.gov the FEMA website captured North American Europe and
Starting point is 00:37:51 Ocean Street's map offline maps come on medical pack wikymed national library of medicine military medicine guide nuclear war survival skills the updated definitive too that's a great book man that crescent kerny book phenomenal um stack exchange Q&A on sustainable living here it is the project Gutenberg over 60,000 ebook classics and so on um obviously you can put your own content on They're Khan Academy for teaching the kids, right? All the kids are out of school. What do we do?
Starting point is 00:38:26 50 books and topics from water purification to deer hunting to shelter building. And like I said, you don't plug it into one device and everybody has to feed off of it. You connect, turn this thing on. It's battery powered or you can plug it into a power source like a solar generator backup, generator, whatever you got going on in an emergency. And then everyone connects their Wi-Fi, connects to it through Wi-Fi. And they have access to all this stuff. What I was thinking about, you can preload it also with your own whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:38:59 What I was thinking is this would be a really cool sort of weeding off the binky of the digital world, right? Like wean your family or maybe just yourself off of the internet largely, right? Have a day of the week. And I got to talk to the creator because I think he's. would love this, but have a day of the week where we just do the prep or disk. Like literally, you just unplug the Wi-Fi and everybody lives off the prep and disc and you hang out at home and read from Project Gutenberg and learn and, you know, DuCon Academy, whatever's on there.
Starting point is 00:39:40 There's plenty on there. You're going to find something that you're into, right? And maybe preload some stuff, preload a movie that you've been wanting to watch or preloads music that you can listen to and you still have the sort of you know the binky that is the device in your hand or in your face but you got a much better level of control of what's going on and what's going into your head you know what i mean so check it out for yourself the prep or disc man it's cool very cool little project uh we've talked to them about maybe throwing up throwing together a PBN PrepperDisc with like a bunch of old podcasts from PBN.

Starting point is 00:41:05 No, you know, we didn't even, I didn't even open up the main page to the newspaper because it was all war and Putin and Trump. You know what I mean?
