1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to Worst Year Ever, a production of I Heart

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: Radio Together Everything, So don't don't do Wow. We welcome

3
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: back to our rooms in separate areas Worst year ever,

4
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: and that's how the news goes. Sophie made a gesture

5
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: that I should play a chord on the guitar, so

6
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: I did. I'm Cody Johnston. I'm wait shit, damn it.

7
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: We really lose our vibe when we're not in the

8
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: same room together. Don't weather, I'm Robert Johnston. Yep, that

9
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: sounds right. And Katie, it's the worst year ever. Oh, guys, guys, guys, guys,

10
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 1: we're back. We're back this day. Today, we are bringing

11
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: you a prepisode, uh about coronavirus and all of the

12
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: stuff that's happening around us. Yeah. So, about a year ago,

13
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: I released a podcast called it Could Happen Here, and

14
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: it was focused on theorizing about a possible second American

15
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: Civil War, and repeatedly throughout it, I suggested both gently

16
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: and directly that people stock up on nonperishable foods and

17
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: have a month or so of of dried food on hand,

18
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: as well as some water. Um. We also talked about

19
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: the potential of preparing with firearms, and stuff like that.

20
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 1: Did you stock up on all those things? Oh? Yeah,

21
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: I had about when when the coronavirus hit, I had

22
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: six to seven months of dried food in my home.

23
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: Are you holding all the toilet paper? No? I did not.

24
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: I did not one of the one of the benefits.

25
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: So obviously, you know, we had this this major problem.

26
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: That's still a major problem that like, when all this hit,

27
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: people went to the stores and bought up everything in sight.

28
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: And it's a huge issue. Because I was prepared. I

29
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: did not have to do that. I did not have

30
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: to rush to the grocery store. I didn't have to

31
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: panic buy stuff. I didn't have to contribute to that

32
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: problem because I had prepared months and months ago. And

33
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: there's a couple of things I want to get to.

34
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: I think number one, prepping has gotten a very bad

35
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: rap um, in part because of some reality shows that

36
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: have have highlighted kind of the the louneist people who

37
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: do it. In part because a lot of the people

38
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: who prep are are legitimately lunatics who you know, think

39
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: that the government is conspiring with aliens to steal their sperm,

40
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: and so they have to hide in a bunker. Aliens

41
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: name is Q. Yeah, and that alien's name is Q

42
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: and aliens are trying to steal your sperm. But it's fine.

43
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: You have plenty um think we were going to start

44
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: this off with alien sperm, but continue Okay, every episode

45
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: starts with alien sperm, Sophie, one way or the other,

46
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: whether you know it or not. Uh So. One of

47
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: the biggest misconceptions I think is that this idea that

48
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: you prep so that you can protect yourself and your

49
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: family in the event of an emergency and basically hide

50
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: out and waited out with a year's worth of food

51
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: or whatever, that is not what prepping should be. And

52
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: this is I want this guide to be a guide

53
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: to practical, ethical, left wing prepping. And the reason that

54
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: I have seven now eight months of food on standby

55
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: is not so that I can hide alone for eight

56
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: months if this gets really bad. It's so I can

57
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: provide food and support two members of my community and

58
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: a member of two different local UH signal chats that

59
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: have between them twenty some odd people who live in

60
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: my immediate area. And one of the nice things about

61
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: the stockpile I have is that I was immediately able

62
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: to reach out to them, some of them who work

63
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: in the in the service industry, who have lost work,

64
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: who are currently very short on funds, and say I

65
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: have a bunch of extra food and I can help

66
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: you out if you need it. That is the prepping

67
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: is not. Yeah, that's a really really important uh point

68
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 1: to make because as this goes on, as it continues,

69
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 1: we really need to be able to rely on each other,

70
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: uh and uh, you know, do what we can to

71
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: help each other survive. The most important thing to understand

72
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: about prepping, from my point of view at least, is

73
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: that the only real security is community security, and the

74
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: only real self defense is community self defense. And the

75
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: reason I was saying everyone should have at least two

76
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: weeks ideally a month worth of dried food is that

77
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: Number One, you don't have to panic when something like

78
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: this drops. You have the stuff on hand. You know

79
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: that you're you're not immediately going to be out of

80
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: things if there's a run on the grocery store. Um. So,

81
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: the guide that I have it's pretty multifaceted, and I

82
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,239
Speaker 1: tried to provide stuff for people who have extra money

83
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: and can afford to buy things now, and also stuff

84
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: for folks who are like I'm going to guess a

85
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: lot of people are right now on a very severe budget, um,

86
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: particularly because of the disaster. So there's a bunch of

87
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: things that you can do that do require money. There's

88
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: something that you can do that do not require money.

89
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: I've tried to have a good like mix of of

90
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: all that stuff on here. The first thing I want

91
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: to focus on is that I don't think this will pass.

92
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: This coronavirus, this quarantine, the current state of affairs were

93
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: and will pass, but it will not be the last

94
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: such disaster that hits us in the next couple of years,

95
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: within our lifetimes. Um. Yeah. The for one thing, disease outbreaks,

96
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: both the viruses and and dangerous bacteria are likely to

97
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: grow more common as the result of climate change. Yes,

98
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: that's something really important that I don't see being mentioned

99
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: a lot about this right now. And what's going to

100
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: continue to be happening is as climate change worsens, so

101
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: will pandemics like this. Yeah, and there's actually a lot

102
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: of historical examples of that. UM. Cholera was initially kind

103
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: of just the bacterium that causes it was just like

104
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: chilling out in the waters off of the coast of

105
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: India until the colonialists started fucking around there and it

106
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: got charned up and into the population, and now it's

107
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: this global problem. UM, So things like that could hit. Um.

108
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: Natural disasters are likely to grow more common. In two

109
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: thousand sixteen, the U. S. Navy Coast Guard in Washington

110
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: State National Guard did a full scale nine day drill

111
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: to see how well they'd be able to respond to

112
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: an earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone UM, which covers

113
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: a big chunk of the Pacific Northwest in northern California.

114
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: And they're eighty three page report is kind of terrifying.

115
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily recommend reading it unless you're really willing

116
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: to to scare yourself. But the short of it is that,

117
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: as the authors, who are again the Department of Defense

118
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: and like national like defense organizations, our infrastructure is not

119
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: ready for something like that, and there would be a

120
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: humanitarian crisis within ten days, um. And you know people

121
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: about a million people within that area after the quick

122
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: it would be without water for months, not days. So yeah,

123
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: that's yeah. This whole thing, Sorry, Robert's done a lot

124
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: of this work and we're going to be interjecting, but

125
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: this whole thing feels so surreal. It's starting to feel

126
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: not normal. But you're we're adjusting to the new reality,

127
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: let's say. But you always think in the back of

128
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: your mind, Oh, this worst case thing might happen, but

129
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: it's not gonna it hasn't. The big one might hit,

130
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: it's not gonna's it hasn't. You know, why should I

131
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: waste time focusing on all of these scary things when

132
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: I need to be living right now. And the truth

133
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: is is that it is going to happen, It can happen,

134
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: and we need to be prepared. Yeah, and I so

135
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: I think that like there's this kind of you're right

136
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: that like we do need to continue to live our lives.

137
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: So prepping should not be fundamentally should not be something

138
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: that alters your life. It should be something that you

139
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: do in addition to what you already doing. And it

140
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: does not need to be wildly expensive. Um. Now, the

141
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: before I was telling people to buy dried food buckets.

142
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: Wise Company is who I used you can get. You

143
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: could get before the coronavirus hit about a month worth

144
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: of food for about eight bucks. Now it's more like

145
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: two three bucks for the same amount of food. I

146
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: do not recommend buying any of those freeze dried food options.

147
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: They're very useful for certain things, but I do not

148
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: think we should reward price gouging in these times. Um.

149
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: And you can much more cheaply and ethically prep right

150
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: now by getting a mix of dried beans, dried rice,

151
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: and dried vegetables, all of which is available online for

152
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: Amazon dot com. You can get a month's worth of

153
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: food for you know, a pretty reasonable price, still fifty

154
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: to one hundred bucks UM. And I I will include

155
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: we will unlike the notes for this, we'll we'll put

156
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: up a Twitter thread that will pin to the top

157
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: of worst year ever that will have all of the sources.

158
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: But I found a really good page from the spruce

159
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: eats dot com that has how to properly measure and

160
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: convert dried beans. So about two cups of dried beans

161
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: is about a pound UM worth, and that one cup

162
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: of dried beans equals three cups of cooked beans. Half

163
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: cup is about one fifteen ounce metal can of beans.

164
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: Now you get you know, a tin pound bag of

165
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: dried beans, a tin pound bag of rice, and like

166
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: a two pound bag of dried vegetables, and you can

167
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: make a pretty hearty soup as long as you have

168
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: and that's a couple of weeks worth of food for

169
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: an individual as a vegetarian. I know that a lot

170
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: of you guys are probably struggling because or you know,

171
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: adjusting to the fact that meat is harder to come by.

172
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: But beans and rice form a perfect protein. Yeah, they

173
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: absolutely do. It is everything you need to survive, and

174
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: you can. They're not currently all bought up. There's plenty

175
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: of dried beans, there's pretty plenty of rice. The stuff

176
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: is still getting being grown and shipped. Um, you can

177
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: get a couple of tin pound bags of dried beans,

178
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: a couple of tin pound bags of rice, and a

179
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: couple of one pound bags of dried veggies. And that

180
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: is that's more than fourteen day is worth of food

181
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: for an individual. That that can keep a household going

182
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: for a while. Um. You also want to include like

183
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: salt and and and veggie stock. Stuff like that can

184
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: allow you to kind of make it tasti or stop

185
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: you from getting bored. Um. But that's that is a

186
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: basic prep. That's what you need in your emergency food

187
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: been and it's not going to break the bank. Also, also, guys,

188
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 1: I just want to Robert mentioned Amazon, and I know

189
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people are thinking, I've been on Amazon.

190
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: I don't see anything. Um. I just want to point

191
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: out that there was an announcement today that Amazon has

192
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: hired a hundred thousand more people. To hire a hundred

193
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: thousand more people. I hope they are also giving them

194
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: sickly of coverage in case they get sick. Um. Uh.

195
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: This is a less cost effective suggestion. But if you

196
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: do have a bit more funds at your disposal right

197
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: now and you're worried about your your community restaurants and

198
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: everything like that, they are still doing take out in

199
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: a lot of places. I don't know how long that

200
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: will go. You know, there's a there is a possibility

201
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: that there is a shuttering of of all restaurants services

202
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: and whatnot. But for the time being, I'm trying to

203
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: continue to support things locally. Uh And and I think

204
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: it's helpful to follow them on social media because a

205
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 1: lot of them will have announcements about how they're doing operations,

206
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: and it's another good way to support community. One restaurant

207
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: near us here in Los Angeles, for example, is putting

208
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: up a website in the next two days where people

209
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: can order directly from them, yes, meals, but also supplies.

210
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: The way they put it is, we've got a really

211
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: robust relationship with lots of growers and farmers that are

212
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: really already feeling this. So you, you know, come to

213
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: us to buy your eggs and your fresh produce UM

214
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: and they will bring it outside to you to pick

215
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: it up. That should be that if you're in l A,

216
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: that's all time restaurant um. But I encourage you to

217
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: start following and reaching out to the restaurants in your

218
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: community and see what services like that they are offering

219
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: so that you can keep money to people that need it. Oh.

220
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: The other thing that they're doing that I really respect

221
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: is their staff are going to be the people that

222
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: help do deliveries and whatnot, So they are actively trying

223
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: to keep people employed. So that's if you have the

224
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: resources to do that, I think that that's a really

225
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: great way to spend your money in time. Also, several

226
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: grocery stores and I saw this in l A. The

227
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: Ara Juan. I mean, I can't afford everyone, but UH

228
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: is opening their store earlier and only letting senior citizens

229
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: and people that are immunocompromised shop within the first hour

230
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: supplies very a amazing And I've seen that, Aron, I've

231
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: seen that from different people on Twitter in their local areas,

232
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: different groceries that are doing that and drug stores, and

233
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: I think that's badass. Yeah, that's and yeah, I that's

234
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: all great. And I also want to add, um, a

235
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: lot of Chinese and other Asian supermarkets still have supplies

236
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: stuff like rice, dried food, and they're being less shopped

237
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: at because of racism. If you're going to grocery stores,

238
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: that's not a bad option. Um. And you can get

239
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: you know, getting getting a twenty pound sack of rice

240
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: or whatever and some beans can provide you with some

241
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: some security. And what you should be striving to do

242
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: if you are getting into preparing, because this has convinced

243
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: you that it is necessary, start by getting a two

244
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: weeks supply of food for your house. Um. And you know,

245
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: you do not need to worry super much about water

246
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: right now. There's nothing I've seen that makes me think

247
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: that the water supply will be interrupted. If you're serious

248
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: about prepping, you also want a two weeks supply of

249
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: stored water. Um, this is not a great time to

250
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: buy it because, like everything else prepping related, the big

251
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: food grade blue buckets, like I have about eight sixty

252
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: gallons outside of my house right now. Those UM have

253
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: gone up in price, but when they come back down,

254
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: get a couple of those. But fourteen days is where

255
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: you start. Expand that to thirty days of food. And

256
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: then if you continue to, like if you stay employed

257
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: throughout this, if you have money coming in every month,

258
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: try and add an extra two weeks of dried food

259
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: to your stockpile until you know you're at the limit

260
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 1: of what you can store, and that will mean you

261
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: have extra for people in your community to help out

262
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: if things get really bad. UM. I wanted to provide

263
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: a guide for people who do not have additional money

264
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: so that they can still stock up on food. UM.

265
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: Urban foraging is a surprisingly good way to get calories.

266
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: If you live in Los Angeles or like San Francisco,

267
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: both of which are locked down right now, there is

268
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: an enormous amount of food, more than you would suspect,

269
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: and there are very simple guides to it. There's an

270
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: app called Falling Falling Fruit that will show you where

271
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: there are different edible trees and and and bushes and

272
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: stuff in your area. They're all marked on a map.

273
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: And there's also an urban foraging guide that will provide

274
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: a link to on falling Fruit dot org that provides

275
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: a guide to finding different edible foods and plants. You know,

276
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: it's going to differ somewhat depending on where in the

277
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: country you live. Um, but once you pick those things.

278
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: I also have a guide on freezing vegetables from the

279
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service that will help you

280
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: to you know, take whatever you get, whatever fruits and

281
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: veggies you get, uh freeze them and store them for

282
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: long periods of time, which will provide you with an

283
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: option if you do not have additional money to spend

284
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: and you still want to get a stockpile. I also

285
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: found on storage prepper dot com a prepper's guide to pickling,

286
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: which does require a little bit more money because you

287
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: have to be able to get the jars, but you

288
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: can also find empty jars. Pickling is a great way

289
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: to store food for a longer period of time, and

290
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: all that stuff is very low in terms of the

291
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: amount of resources you need to expend. And even though

292
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: that's like a fun quarantine activity, it is it is.

293
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: It's a good thing. But part of what I'm trying

294
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: to push is it's good to learn these things even

295
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: if you don't need them. I have a lot of

296
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: friends who pickle stuff and they bring over different pickled

297
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: foods when we have parties, and it's delicious, and it's

298
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: a great thing to be able to do. Um it.

299
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: It builds part of what we're trying to do when

300
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: we talk about disaster reaction effectively is build a sense

301
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: of power, and learning how to forage in your area,

302
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: Learning how to pickle, learning how to freeze food and

303
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: vegetables provides you with a sense of power. Even if

304
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: like you're suffering economically hugely right now, this is something

305
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: you can probably do without burning a lot of resources,

306
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: and even in places that are locked down like Los

307
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: Angeles and San Francisco. One of the things that's important

308
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: to understand shelter in places the term being used right now.

309
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: That does not mean you have to stay in your

310
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: home at all times, and it is still medically recommended

311
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: to go outside, take walks, go on runs. You're supposed

312
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: to not get physically close to people, but that doesn't

313
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: mean you can't be outside. It doesn't mean you can't

314
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: be foraging. It doesn't mean you can't jog, Please keep

315
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: doing that sort of stuff. It's necessary for your mental

316
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: and physical health. What is been hard in Allas that

317
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: this whole thing really hit the day a huge rainstorm

318
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: came to town and it will be raining for weeks.

319
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: So take advantage if you are having weird weather, just

320
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: take advantage of the breaks that you can to get

321
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: outside and breathe some air, um and see nature a

322
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: little bit. It helps immensely, Yeah, it really does. UM.

323
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: Now there's there's two resources I wanted to suggest to

324
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: people who are interested in doing more reading on prepping.

325
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: One of them is a newsletter run by a friend

326
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: of mine, Jason Wilson. He's reporter from the Guardian. It's

327
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: called the End uh and it's the end dot sub

328
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: stack dot com um and we'll we'll have a link

329
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: to that. He has a very simple basic guide to

330
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 1: prepping for people who are new to it. And then

331
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: there's another guide uh from the prepared dot com Prepping Basics,

332
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: and it's a very reasonable, non like panicky guide to prepping,

333
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: and it includes a couple of like really useful tips.

334
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: So like here's one about how like a normal person

335
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: could without changing anything, but what they pick up at

336
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: the grocery store, build a stockpile of food, and I

337
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: want to read from that right now, so uh. Susan

338
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: normally eats soup twice a week. Cans of soup have

339
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: a shelf life of three years. Today, Susan keeps a

340
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: few cans in the pantry and buys just enough every

341
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: shopping trip to hold her over until the next trip.

342
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: So it didn't he give time. Susan may have only

343
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: a handful of cans at home. Instead, Susan starts buying

344
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: a few extra cans each trip when her budget allows.

345
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: Newly purchased cans go to the back of the pantry

346
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: line with dates written on them and marker, and Susan

347
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: always eats the oldest can first. After a while, Susan

348
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: has built up a surplus with a pantry of up

349
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: to three hundred twelve cans of soup two per week

350
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: times fifty two weeks times three years shelf life. Once

351
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: she hits the right surplus level, she goes back to

352
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: the habit of buying just enough each trip to replenish

353
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: what was eaten since the last trip. Her daily life

354
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: routine doesn't change yet, she never eats expired soup. If

355
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: an emergency happens, there's now over three hundred cans of

356
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: food that Susan already enjoys with up to three years

357
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: of life left. Very simple guy, that's very organized. Yeah,

358
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: there's something, and this this guide on the prepared points

359
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: it out. There's something called the eight twenty rule UM

360
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: that applies to a number of things, but particularly prepping.

361
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: The initial twenty of all of the possible work you

362
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: do in prepping get you eighty percent of the way

363
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: too prepared, um, and then the other eight you know,

364
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: the other twenty percent is stuff like maybe stockpelling, AMMO

365
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: and our or the kind of things everyone doesn't need

366
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: to do is less likely to be helpful um than

367
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: just making sure you have enough food and water on hand.

368
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: So with with some pretty simple and inexpensive tactics, you

369
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: can build up a good stockpile and some things to remember.

370
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: And when you're looking at prepping, don't buy any off

371
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: the shelf bugout bag kits or ship like. There's a

372
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: lot of that that's going to be going up and

373
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: being sold on Amazon and whatnot. It's almost all crap.

374
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: It's almost all low quality UM equipment UM, and it's

375
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: almost all useless stuff that looks cool and tactical. UM,

376
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: you will you will benefit more by storing beans and

377
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: stuff like that. UM. Now, one thing I do want

378
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: to focus on a little bit is UM is resilience.

379
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: So resilience means having multiple pathways to get what you need.

380
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: So it means having a couple of weeks to a

381
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: month or two of dried food in the house. But

382
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: it also means having a bag ready to go with

383
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 1: three to four days worth of provisions in it, UM

384
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: and some water water purification tablets in case you need

385
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: to leave your home because of a natural disaster or something.

386
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: You know, we are fortunate enough that this disaster allows

387
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: us to stay at home with everything that we have.

388
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: They are not all like that, So you should also

389
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: have a ready bag. In my bag, I have because

390
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: I was lucky enough to stock piled dried fruit. I

391
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: have about two weeks of dried food. I have a

392
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: couple of changes of underwear and shirts. I have some ammunition.

393
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: We'll talk about guns at the end of this UM.

394
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: And I have two different forms of water filtration device.

395
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: I have a life straw and I have a hand

396
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: water pump that filters water. UM and part of my thinking,

397
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: and that is I want to have multiple ways to

398
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: get water because water is one of the quickest things

399
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: that if you run out of, you will die. Yeah,

400
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: I've heard that water is life. Water is Yeah, it's

401
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: a thing, and it's useful to have. You can get

402
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: water purification tablets, you can get UV devices like a

403
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: life straw, and you can get water pumps. And my

404
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: whole kit of about three gallons worth of water purification tablets,

405
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: a pump, and a life straw fits in a shoe box.

406
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: That one raw, one pump, one Life straw. That that

407
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: is and it cost a couple like two hundred bucks.

408
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's not an outrageous expense. And it gives

409
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: me three different ways to get what I need, which

410
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: is water, and I can throw it in a bag

411
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: and go um yeah, yeah, um. I'm gonna interrupt real

412
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: quick to announce that now is the time for ads adsum,

413
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: but don't worry, we'll be back from for more of

414
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: this after the ads than the services. Well well done

415
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: together everything, so don't don't and we're back from that

416
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:52,479
Speaker 1: at break. We're so back. We're so glad to be back.

417
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: I know you guys are too, Robert, this has been

418
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: really fascinating so far. Um, I want to hear more.

419
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: Tell me. Okay, well, so we've covered basically how to

420
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: get the food and stuff that you need. Um, and

421
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: right now focus on food. Water is should not be

422
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: your immediate concern in this particular disaster, but if you

423
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: actually do want to be prepared, getting a two week

424
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: supply of water plus additional resources to filter it and

425
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: stuff should be on your list. You don't have to

426
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: get all this at once. You don't have to panic

427
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: and buy all this at once. The water is going

428
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: to keep working for this, you know. Yeah, just use

429
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 1: this as I think that we're trying to hammer home

430
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: that this is a bad situation, and if you can

431
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: extrapolate some silver lining, it's that it's not the worst

432
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: it can be. We have resources still available to us.

433
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: Now is the time to to learn how to prep

434
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: for things the next time they happen. Yes, this is

435
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: about number one, setting yourself up to where that when

436
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: a disaster happens, you do not have to panic and

437
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: rush to the store and crowded with everyone and maybe

438
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,479
Speaker 1: be a part of something bad like people get trampled

439
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: or whatever. Because you have you have what you need

440
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: so you don't have to panic and and so you're

441
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: not fueling the collective panic either exactly. And this is

442
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: also about proper disaster relief is also about community building

443
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: and particularly the building of resiliency. So on an individual level,

444
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: what building resiliency looks like is both having the stuff

445
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: that you need to to survive and also building skills

446
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: that are useful. So learning how to forage, learning how

447
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: to pickle, learning how to to can your or not can,

448
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: but learning how to like make your own jam, learning

449
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: how to freeze vegetables. That is part of it um

450
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: and right now, when we're locked at home and a

451
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: lot of us are out of work, people have more

452
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: time to learn and study and build skills. And there's

453
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: versions of that that cost money, and there's versions of

454
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: that that are free, and I wanted to highlight some

455
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: things that are free. One thing that you can do

456
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: for free or very little money is significantly build up

457
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: your ability to perform emergency medicine. So there's not very

458
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: much that you, as an individual, we can do for

459
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: someone who has the coronavirus. But one of the things

460
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: that the coronavirus pandemic is going to cause is for

461
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: our medical facilities to be overstretched. They will have less

462
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: resources to deal with people who are in car accidents,

463
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: who cut themselves, who fall off of a ladder, whatever,

464
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: you receive some sort of of physical injury. Those people

465
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: will not be able to rely as readily on emergency

466
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,719
Speaker 1: medical I keep thinking about that because I am clumsy

467
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: and I like slipped down some steps today and was like,

468
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: I can't let that happen. I gotta stay out of

469
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: the hospital. Yes, there there are a couple of different

470
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: guides that are free UM, and I'm going to focus

471
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: on the guides that are are free first. But I

472
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: also have a guy that's very cheap that's even better.

473
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: So the free guides, I would talk to you or

474
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: I would suggest people look into UM if you go

475
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: to there's a link from paper revolution dot org slash

476
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: street Dash medic Dash guide. Again. We'll have these links

477
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,320

478
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: of your pod. Um. This is a guide for street

479
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: medics that that includes some very basic way like treatments

480
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: for trauma, some very basic rules for performing emergency medicine.

481
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: It is a good guide, UM and it it again

482
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: it's free, so you can read this over in the

483
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: space of you know, part of an afternoon, and you

484
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: know read it over a couple of times over time,

485
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, make it a thing you do every week

486
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,239
Speaker 1: until you internalize some stuff. I also found um e

487
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: m basic dot org has a series of podcasts on

488
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: emergency medicine. So they include guides for how to do

489
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: you know, guides for how to perform some emergency medicine stuff,

490
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: and also links to other podcasts that cover emergency medicine basics. UM,

491
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: this isn't a good thing to to look into, UM

492
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,479
Speaker 1: a good thing to listen to. It will help you know,

493
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: it will help you provide care to people who need

494
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: it in the event of an emergency. I've also got

495
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: a link to the Military First Aid Manual. All military

496
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: manuals are free. UM. They are all available online. So

497
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: emergency medicine manuals and stuff like that, you can read

498
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,479
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. It is your property as an

499
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: American citizen, and it's also available internationally. Now, these are

500
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: kind of dents. They're not as easy to let go

501
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: through as some other sources you might find, but they're

502
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: very good, UM and worth reading. And that that that

503
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: is all free. Those are all free resources you can

504
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: use to become more adept at providing emergency medical care. Now,

505
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: I wanted to also talk about a guide. It's a

506
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: guide that I find the best that's out there for

507
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: emergency like trauma medicine. UM, and it's not expensive. It's

508
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: currently four dollars on Kindle. It is the Survival Got

509
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: Doctor's Guide to Wounds what to do when there is

510
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: no doctor. Now, this is written by an actual doctors. Yeah,

511
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: it's a great book. It's written by an actual doctor

512
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: with thirty years of medical experience. UM. He is not

513
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: a crank. He he very much emphasizes this is only

514
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: what you use when you cannot find when you cannot

515
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 1: access real medical care, and specifically in a situation where

516
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: like there's a pandemic and the doctors are overloaded, you

517
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: can't get to a hospital. What I like about this

518
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: guy It is number one, it's very short. You're not

519
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: reading a dense medical textbook. You can burn through this

520
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: thing in an hour or two. But it has links

521
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: with everything that he talks about. There are links in

522
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: the guide to videos and stuff, so you can download

523
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 1: this on your whatever device you're going to keep charged

524
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,239
Speaker 1: up and have it and you can cross reference and

525
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: see someone actually actually perform these different procedures, um and

526
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: acquaint yourself better with them, so you're not just reading

527
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: someone describe how to do something like like apply pressure

528
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: to a wound. You can watch videos and stuff that

529
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: that bring you through it. It is less than four dollars.

530
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: It is worth its weight in gold. You can read

531
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: through it in the space of again an afternoon and

532
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: then digital and it's a digital car. You can get

533
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: it digital so you don't have to wait for something

534
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 1: to come in the out. I just wanted to let

535
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,719
Speaker 1: people know if you do not have money, I found

536
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: a I found a copy of The Survival Doctor's Guide

537
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: to Wounds on script dot com. If you just type

538
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: in S C R, I B D and then the

539
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: Survival Doctor's Guide to Wounds, you'll find it. If you

540
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: get a thirty day free script trial, you can read

541
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: through the whole thing and at least acquaint yourself with

542
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: some stuff. This is a good book, um I I

543
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: I recommend going through it, and it's the kind of

544
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: thing where you could just devote twice a week. I'm

545
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: going to read through a chapter, watch some videos, and

546
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: get a little bit better at doing this another good

547
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: thing to do in quarantine. Also, again we're going to

548
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: post this on Twitter, but also Robert hasn't mentioned this.

549
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: I will also post this with the episode description with

550
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: clickable links. This is yeah, so that and again the

551
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: thing I'm trying to emphasize is building resiliency, getting good

552
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: at things that you aren't currently good at. Um. And

553
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: So another thing that I think is uh, a good

554
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: book to read that will cost a little bit of

555
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: money but is toetally worth it. Um you know, talking

556
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: about survival situations. Obviously, again this is one where we

557
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: don't have to leave our homes. There's no guarantee that

558
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: it will not be that way in the future. And

559
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: if you want to have a book that will prepare

560
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: your you better for surviving in a disaster situation where

561
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: you might have to live off the land or survive

562
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: you know, outside of like the comfort of a city,

563
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: there is no better resource than the book Bushcraft one

564
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: oh one by Dave Canterbury. This is the gold standard

565
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: for wilderness survival books. It is the single best resource

566
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: you can have if that is a concern of yours.

567
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: It's ten or eleven dollars on Amazon. I didn't get

568
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: a physical copy for about the same amount. You can

569
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,959
Speaker 1: be reading this and studying and even practicing a lot

570
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: of it from just like you can still go on hikes.

571
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: So again, if we're looking at things that we can

572
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: do that do not necessarily cost money, you know, obviously

573
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: that's going to differ depending on where you live, your

574
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: access to you know, rural areas, your access to a

575
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: national part. But a lot of people have access to

576
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: those things without spending money or without spending much money.

577
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: You can still go to those places. You can be

578
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: out in wilderness, you can be foraging, you can be

579
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: practicing with things like depending on your area, you know,

580
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, starting fires depending on your area, doing some

581
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: basic woodcrafting, building shelters, using those machetes everybody's bought. All

582
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: of this stuff is things that while where you don't

583
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: have to be close to anyone to do it, and

584
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: it will make you feel more empowered and more less

585
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: if something disastrous happens, if you have to flee your

586
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,959
Speaker 1: home with a backpack and you've been practicing, you've been

587
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: spending time out in the woods, practicing these these skills,

588
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: you will feel less terrified, You'll be power reduces fear

589
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: that is a general rule UM. And nothing increases your

590
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: power as an individual like having knowledge of how to

591
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: survive um. So that is another resource that I would

592
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: heavily suggest people take in. And again, I I'm trying

593
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: to provide a good mix of things that are free

594
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: um and things that are not free UM, because I

595
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: know we're all in different situations here and this all

596
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: sounds like a lot and it's maybe daunting, and I

597
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: get that I've got a lot of catching up to do.

598
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: But like I keep quipping in, you've got the time, now,

599
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: how how do we use this time psychologically? I think

600
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: that's really important. How can we make the most out

601
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: of this force? Quarantine these isolations. It doesn't have to

602
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: be writing your Shakespearean master right, We're not all writing

603
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: king Lear right now. I'm to sure Robert's already done.

604
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: All you you're transcribing king Lear right now here prep.

605
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: It's not erotic enough yet, and I'm I'm making it

606
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: very erotic. There's a lot of Jeremy. I'm gonna be honest,

607
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: it's Jeremy Renner's knuckles. We should reach out to Bernie.

608
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: He's got a history with writing erotic essays. We're actually

609
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: we're actually working on it together in a Google he

610
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: calls it the Google docs. But Bernie, that's really show

611
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: your age there. But even like getting together, that's also important.

612
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: Is lacking in community building? Um, right, Like even like

613
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: getting together and like doing a call like this or

614
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: like skyping or something like that, getting on discord and

615
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: reading these materials together. Yeah, um would help, I think.

616
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: And if you do that, please send us screenshots of

617
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: your Skype sessions as you do your emergency prep and

618
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: will celebrate them. Yeah, definitely, this is I mean, there's

619
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: ways to be social while you're social distancing. I've been

620
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: doing the dinner I have a FaceTime dinner plan with

621
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: any of my friends in the same place, but dinner

622
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: FaceTime drinks with one friend and my other group of

623
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: girlfriends were trying to touch base in the evening with

624
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: a little face timing. It's helpful. And I am planning,

625
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: you know once uh, kind of the two week window

626
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: where we're all hunkered down as up, I'm planning on

627
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: some small get togethers with four or five friends, you know, um,

628
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: people who who don't live with immunocompromised folks. And it's

629
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: not a major you know risk once we're past that

630
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: two week window for us to sit together and there

631
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: is light at the end of this dark tunnel. Yeah,

632
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: it one thing that you should be doing again. I'm

633
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: very glad because I'm in in communication with a lot

634
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: of activist circles, a lot of people who who are

635
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: used to gathering on a regular basis to try to

636
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: do things that are sometimes a little scary and dangerous because, uh,

637
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: the place where I'm located has had some some civil disturbances. Um.

638
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: I'm in these communities of twenty or thirty people that

639
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: are used to mobilizing larger groups of people, and we

640
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: are all still talking over this. We're keeping track of

641
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: each other, of each other's neighborhoods, how they're doing. UM.

642
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: And that is a thing that you can be building.

643
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: And it's it's as simple as you know, hitting up

644
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: that neighbor that you've had a couple of good interactions

645
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 1: with but never really talked too much. And I'm like, hey,

646
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: can I get you on signal? Like I want to

647
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 1: be able to keep in touch with the neighborhood and

648
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: and building a network like that. UM. And that that

649
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: bitly link we sent around last time, Bitly slash COVID

Speaker 1: worst year Twitter, Yeah, look into that. And also I

653
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: would like to encourage people to let us know when

654
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: they get involved in stuff like that if you're doing

655
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: things like you know, people have been putting circulating a

656
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: print outs that you can put up in front of

657
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: like your neighbor's houses that say like, hey, if you

662
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: something like that. UM is a way to provide necessary

663
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: care to people around you and to build a sense

00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:14,759

682
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: it time for an ad break? It is time for

683
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: that was my question, Robert. I do have some things

684
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: I'd like you to clarify after this break. Sure. Well,

685
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: one thing I feel confident saying is that all of

686
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: the products and services advertised on this show will help

687
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: you prepare for disaster, especially the dick pills. I believe it.

688
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 1: Everybody is extremely horny now, so make sure it's true.

689
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: Looking forward to that wave of COVID babies together, everything,

690
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: don't don't. Okay, we're back, and one thing before we

691
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: get on we're back, and we're still we are very horny,

692
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 1: unbelievably horny, and cover your ears. One thing I wanted

693
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: to say before we get into the other questions. You

694
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: guys have uh if you, whether you have or haven't,

695
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: played Dungeons and Dragons, now is a great time to

696
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: get into it with your friends on Skype or and

697
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: it's It's the kind of thing you don't even need

698
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: to know the rules. When I was a kid, the

699
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: first D and D games I played were one of

700
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: only one of us had any idea of the rules,

701
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: and we just flipped a coin fifty fifty and the

702
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: d M would decide based on that whether or not

703
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: the action went well or badly. You can make it

704
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: be like a modern cyberpunk setting. You can go with fantasy.

705
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: It's a great way again to have a community, to

706
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 1: have some socialization, and it I am of the opinion

707
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: that the very best way to recreationally spend time is

708
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,280
Speaker 1: playing Dungeons and Dragons. It's my favorite thing in the world.

709
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 1: This mean we're gonna revisit your blood magic world. Yes

710
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: we are. We are, my incredibly horny custom D and

711
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: D campugns. I can't wait. I want to get back

712
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: to what you were about to tell us. So I

713
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: just wanted to go over some of these terms that

714
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: are being thrown around, and uh, I just we talked

715
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: about shelter in place a little bit, but I just

716
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: thought we could go over some of these some of

717
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: these things that I went through social media. I went

718
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: through Trump's twitter horrifying, I went through Fox News, I

719
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: went through Cenana, went through New York Times, and I

720
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 1: went off of you know what, the mayor of Los

721
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: Angeles was sending an emergency text just to get, you know,

722
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: some of these terms out there and and get get

723
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,439
Speaker 1: the right definitions for our listeners. So let's just start

724
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: with what we already kind of covered already, which is

725
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 1: shelter in place. What does that actually mean, Robert again,

726
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,439
Speaker 1: it means that you should not leave your home for

727
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 1: any unnecessary purposes. But more to the point that makes

728
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: it sounds like you should stay locked in your house.

729
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: It does not mean that. It means the only place

730
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: you should go where other people are is like a

731
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: grocery store because you need food, or a drug store

732
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: because you need medicine. Don't go to the bar, don't

733
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: go to the restaurant. Don't go to the beach parties,

734
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: don't go to the Florida. Stop going to theach. I mean,

735
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: go to the beach if you're by yourself on an

736
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: empty beach. Yeah, yes, something, Oh my gosh. Yeah, Like

737
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: there's been a mist of like stuff that's reasonable to

738
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: criticize and stuff that's not like those people. Pictures of

739
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: people partying and swimming together in Florida are insane and

740
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: those people are very irresponsible. Someone was also yelling at

741
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: a bunch of people at like a park in San Francisco,

742
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: and it's like, no, people are clearly huddled in groups

743
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: of folks. They live around a four to five and

744
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: they're all ten fifteen feet apart. That is okay and

745
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,919
Speaker 1: probably safer than all huddled together in a house where

746
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 1: viruses as you need connection, take it outside and keep

747
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: your space. Um yeah, I mean, I we know, we

748
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: know it's St. Patrick's Day and you know that you

749
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: can you can do a skype, Yeah you can, somebody

750
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 1: year old mother, sorry, you can get drunk alone at

751
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: home and watch trimmers, which is all Sophie. You don't

752
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: sound like someone's ninety year old mother, because a lot

753
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: of the ninety year old mothers are not heating this advice.

754
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: UM else I wanted to talk about after we go

755
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: through this terms is exactly what Katie just said, um

756
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: social distancing Roberta. Because that's been that. I think it's

757
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more clear, but I think it's what

758
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: we just explained about being outside and just keeping your Yeah,

759
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: it is a good space to be. You can. Stopped

760
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: by Cody's place yesterday with a couple of things, and

761
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: I didn't get near him, you know, and he wiped

762
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: down every surface. I touched down all surfaces at all times.

763
00:40:55,840 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 1: Ye grab your machette and swing at a around you

764
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: in a wide, blind dark and if you don't hit anybody,

765
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: you are far enough away from other people to be responsible.

766
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 1: I've been resisting it for such a spike in machete sales.

767
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: Does Amazon have? Amazon has so many machetes, Cody UM.

768
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: I personally recommend c R K T M because they're affordable,

769
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: very good quality. If you have a little more money

770
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: to spend. Cold Steel sells some incredibly high quality products,

771
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 1: but they don't they don't have thermometers, but they do

772
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: have lots of machete. The plenty of mache Take a

773
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: photo of this right now. Please, that's Sophie's machete that

774
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 1: I got and Daniel's holding his tiny little knife. I'm

775
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: looking at that exact machete Sophie on Amazon. Yeah, it's

776
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: the Chance of Help and River knife and tool. It's

777
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: a great machete, very affordable. Okay. So the next thing

778
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 1: that I would like for you to kind of explain

779
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 1: to people is this flattening the curve that is being said,

780
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: which I think makes sense, but I've seen it again

781
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: not makes sense based on who's saying it. Flattening the

782
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 1: curve is essentially trying to do our best to stop

783
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: the crest of this, which means if we keep going

784
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: around unknowingly infecting each other, then the curve is going

785
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: to continue to rise and there's going to be a

786
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: huge number of people UH descending upon the hospitals all

787
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: at once. Lowering the curve by social distancing is to

788
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: just prevent the spread of it. And when you the

789
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: curve we're talking about are the charts that you see

790
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: UH when you're looking at the growth of the virus

791
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 1: in other countries in the rate with which right now,

792
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 1: where are on trend with UH, Italy and China, and

793
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: we do not know what the peak will be just yet,

794
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: but lowering the curve is our current tempt via social

795
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: distancing to um, you know, kind of stop and even so,

796
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: like I know, I've been seeing a lot of people

797
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,720
Speaker 1: actually uh in Australia who have been in America recently

798
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: returning to Australia and noticing that the sense there is

799
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: very much like the sense that was in America a

800
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: week or two ago of like not really that big

801
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: a deal. We're not gonna do what's recommended. Um, so

802
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: these are the things maybe that we should have done earlier.

803
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: So if you're in a place where it doesn't seem

804
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,720
Speaker 1: like it's coming to you, uh, do these things now

805
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:37,720
Speaker 1: to prevent that. Um. They're like they're just simple visuals.

806
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: You can see of a line of matches going along

807
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: and you remove one match and then it stops. Um.

808
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: That's that's what we're doing right now. Yeah, Robert, do

809
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: you want to explain the difference between state of emergency

810
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,399
Speaker 1: and national emergency because that that is being thrown out

811
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: there as well, and I don't and and just define

812
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: both of the UM or in general in what that

813
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: would look like and why we're in a national emergency. Well,

814
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not an expert on any of this

815
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: as I understand it, a state of emergency is something

816
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: that like a local leader can declare for like a

817
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: city or a state. UM, and a national emergency is

818
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 1: obviously something that that has to be declared by the president. Yeah,

819
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: we are currently in both. Many of us are currently

820
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 1: in both. I don't think every state has declared a

821
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: state of emergency, but a lot of them have, and

822
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: a lot of those populous ones have UM and then

823
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: a national emergency. Part of what declaring it does, and

824
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: this is like when Trump declared a national emergency over

825
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: the border, it was complete horseship. This is absolutely a

826
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: reasonable time and it should have been done weeks earlier

827
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: to declare a national emergency. Part of what it does

828
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: is open up billions of dollars in funds that the

829
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: CDC and other organizations have for dealing with disasters that

830
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: cannot be used unless it's a national emergency. So we

831
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: have a national You could look at it as like

832
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: the national version of prepping. We keep a stockpile of

833
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 1: money and other ship available for times like this, and

834
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: this is what opening declaring a national emergency lets the

835
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: government use that stuff, and we aren't getting into this

836
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,399
Speaker 1: right now. We don't know what's going to happen, but

837
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: as of the time it's recording, there's a lot of

838
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: talk being bandied about about direct payment relief efforts to

839
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: citizens that need it, to everybody. Hopefully, UM, we don't

840
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: know what that's going to look like, but hopefully that

841
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: is something that comes together sooner than later. UM. I

842
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: just wanna debunk the China virus thing that is so

843
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: uh racistly being said, and I just would like to

844
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: do Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm hoping that a lot

845
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,760
Speaker 1: of our listeners already know this is not the China

846
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: virus we made at that point of origin. We've mentioned

847
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: there a week or two ago, even when Tucker Carlson

848
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: was talking, We've talked about this. Yeah, I think just

849
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: because that's what Trump was saying today. Yeah, this is

850
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: this is not this is not from China. This is

851
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: a US government bioweapon that we sold to China so

852
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: that they could suppress descent and spark the on rushing

853
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,760
Speaker 1: of a new world order, which is all being orchestrated

854
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: by the Venusians, UM, who are behind all of the

855
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: things that go wrong. In society is aliens from venus

856
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: and this is all, you know, very clear and documented.

857
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 1: I have a lot of info Wars links that actually

858
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: I'd like to I'd like to to put up at

859
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: the end, so we'll we'll throw those up on Como

860
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: wars dot com to get your best info. Did you

861
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: know that toothpaste with silver in it will stop you

862
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: from getting the coronavirus? I did hear that from the

863
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 1: internet from Alex Jones. I love that guy. Yeah, uses

864
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: toothpaste and you're fine. And lastly, something that I know

865
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: that a lot of us have dealt with recently is

866
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: how do we talk to our parents about this? And

867
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: how do we talk to you know, people that are

868
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: in their fifties, sixties, seventies about this who don't seem

869
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: to be taking it as seriously, or even people that

870
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 1: are millennials that are Yeah, I mean, I think about it.

871
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: You have to present them with all the information, and

872
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:14,919
Speaker 1: it's difficult because you cannot force people to do something

873
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: they don't want to do, but you just have to

874
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: keep reminding them, uh and being diligent. My mom is

875
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: mad at me for harping on it. I'm going to

876
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,720
Speaker 1: keep harping on it. I you know, yeah, I think

877
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: you should keep harping on it. I do think this

878
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: is not necessarily a bad time. And obviously this is

879
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: a difficult thing to contemplate doing, but not a bad

880
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: time to make ultimatums to your parents to say, I

881
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: will not see you during the holidays. I will not

882
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 1: see you during like that if you are not if

883
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: you do not take care of yourself during this and

884
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: follow the advisement, this is that critical to me. I

885
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: cannot um uh like that is something a place where

886
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: you have leveraged. They love you and they want to

887
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: see you, and you're not doing this to be a dick.

888
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: You're doing this to keep them from dying. And maybe

889
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: this is going to be a time for some of

890
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: us to make ultimatums to our family. I will not

891
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 1: communicate with you if you are not taking this seriously

892
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: and being safe, And that sucks to do, but it

893
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 1: might be necessary this time, a time when you want

894
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: to be there for each other and for them specifically.

895
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:17,720
Speaker 1: But the whole point is that we can't. Yeah, um, Robert,

896
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: I do want to hear what you you have to

897
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: say about guns while we have the remaining time, because

898
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: I know that I already reached out to you for

899
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: your advice and it was very helpful. I I don't know,

900
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 1: I have not made a decision about that, but you know,

901
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,879
Speaker 1: there's been some conversations about maybe maybe it would be

902
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 1: helpful to own a firearm. You are one of a

903
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: number of people who, um, I think is generally has

904
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 1: generally been pretty anti gun who reached out to me

905
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: saying I either saying I'm going to buy a gun,

906
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,840
Speaker 1: or I want to buy a gun, or should I

907
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 1: buy a gun. Yeah, I'm just considering if this is

908
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: the time or not. This is not the time to

909
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 1: buy the guns that everyone is buy like right now,

910
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: m A R fifteens are selling out of store, so

911
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: our handguns and defensive shotguns. The ammunition that a R

912
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 1: fifteen tend to fire five point five six or two

913
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: to three. It's essentially the same bullet that is out

914
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: of stock. Nine millimeter is out of stock. Um, you

915
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: can still get three O eight at a pretty reasonable price,

916
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: which is a larger caliber. It's also seven sixty. These

917
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: are the most common calibers and the ones that are

918
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: selling like fucking hotcakes. UM, do not buy one of

919
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: these firearms right now. For one thing, depending on where

920
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 1: you are, they're probably not available. I also don't think

921
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 1: that you should contribute to the panic buying of mass

922
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 1: amounts of ammunition. Um what you should consider buying if

923
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 1: you want to so the first thing I will tell people.

924
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 1: If you decide that this has convinced you that actually

925
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: you want to be a gun owner and having a

926
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: firearm is something you want, you want to have that option,

927
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: what you should first do is purchase a twenty two

928
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 1: caliber rifle. There's also twenty two caliber handguns. Both are good.

929
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: I would recommend a rifle. You do not need to

930
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 1: go to a gun store for this. In most states,

931
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: you can buy them at pawn shops. The one near

932
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 1: my house currently has eight or nine for sale, most

933
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: of which are a hundred dollars, all of which are

934
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 1: less than two hundred dollars. You can get a scoped.

935
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: There's a scoped Marlin at the store in my house

936
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: for like a hundred and fifty bucks with scope already

937
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: on it. Twenty two is cheap. You can get a

938
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: thousand rounds for forty or fifty bucks, which means it's

939
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 1: cheap to train with. It is cheap to build skill with,

940
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: and most importantly in a actual collapse situation, a twenty

941
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: two is the caliber you want to be using to

942
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: hunt small game like squirrels, like rabbits, like other small

943
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 1: animals that will provide you and your family with protein.

944
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:37,720
Speaker 1: It is cheap to use. You can get enough AMMO

945
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: to be set up and you can hunt small game

946
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: with a gun like that, and it will be very inexpensive.

947
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: And what I would say, maybe now is a good

948
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,720
Speaker 1: time to pick up a twenty two if you decide

949
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: this is something you want in your life, that you

950
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: want to own a firearm and can potentially buy more.

951
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: And once you have bought a twenty two and have

952
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: trained with it a bit and have built some time

953
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 1: into your life you train with it, then yes, you

954
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: should consider buying something like an a R fifteen, buying

955
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 1: something like a twelve gage shotgun, buying something like a

956
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: nine millimeter carbine or handgun. Um, but start with a

957
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:14,439
Speaker 1: twenty two. That is when I was a little kid

958
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: in shooting, that was the gun my uncle trained me on.

959
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: It is the gun most people train on. It is affordable,

960
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: and it is also practical and a ship hits the

961
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 1: fan situation and if if you don't feel like you're

962
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,399
Speaker 1: ready for that, maybe it's time that you downloaded Red

963
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 1: Dead Redemption to This episode is brought to you by

964
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: Red Dead Redemption. To just check it out, haunt some

965
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,760
Speaker 1: small game, figure out where you feel your your skype

966
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: is blurred? Are you literally brandishing your machete? Right? No? No,

967
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 1: I'm done. Just just um So the other thing I

968
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:55,359
Speaker 1: would say, the decision about whether or not to own

969
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: a firearm and keep one in your home is very

970
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: personal and will depend a lot on whether and you

971
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: deal with suicidal ideation if that is something you face,

972
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: if that is a regular problem in your life, I

973
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: do not recommend buying a firearm. Um. Now, there are

974
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 1: some options if you are someone who is in that

975
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 1: situation and you still want to train with a gun

976
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 1: and have the option of having one in an emergency situation.

977
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:22,399
Speaker 1: UM An a R fifteen is a very modular gun.

978
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: You can buy a number of parts all over the

979
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: country in a symbol one yourself. There's various guides on

980
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: the internet. It is not hard to do. If you

981
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 1: purchase an A R fifteen and are in this situation,

982
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: you can take it apart. The top half of the

983
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 1: gun that is necessary for it to work is called

984
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:40,359
Speaker 1: an upper receiver. Without an upper receiver, the gun will

985
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: not function. If you take your gun apart and put

986
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: the upper receiver in the hands of a friend you trust, UM,

987
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:49,839
Speaker 1: then you will not be able to use your gun

988
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 1: in the event of the depressive episode. UM, and you

989
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: will have access to it to go train, and you

990
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: can set up a situation whereby I don't get the

991
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 1: full gun unless we are both together and going out

992
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: and and training. That's incredibly helpful. Yeah, that is something

993
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: you might consider, um. If you are looking for a

994
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 1: guide for how to shoot. A very basic guide the

995
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,720
Speaker 1: Socialist Rifle Association, which I also recommend looking into because

996
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 1: if there's a chapter New Year House. Once this is

997
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 1: all over. They do regular range trips and you do

998
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: not have to own a gun to be a part

999
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: of it. They will teach you how to use one.

1000
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 1: They have a book that you can find right now

1001
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: for free called Rifles for Rookies, And if you just

1002
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: google Socialist Rifle Association Rifles for Rookies, you will find

1003
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: the pdf. We will also have the link where we're

1004
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 1: putting all these links. It is a very simple, very

1005
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: practical guide to using a rifle for the first time. UM,

1006
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: if you decide you know, you get a twenty two,

1007
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 1: you start training with it, UM, and you decide that

1008
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 1: you want to continue training with firearms and you want

1009
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 1: to prepare yourself for a worst case scenario, then I

1010
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 1: would recommend investing in what are called NATO caliber firearms.

1011
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: So there are three main calibers that are NATO caliber weapons.

1012
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: What that means is that these are the calibers the

1013
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: US military, most of the Western European militaries use, which

1014
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: means that the ammunition is in the highest supply. It

1015
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: is all over the country. There's billions of rounds around

1016
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: the world, so in the event of a disaster, it

1017
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 1: will be the easiest type of ammo to acquire. And

1018
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:18,959
Speaker 1: the three rounds that fall into that category are nine

1019
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:22,919
Speaker 1: millimeter UM seven or seven six two by fifty one,

1020
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: which is basically the same as three oh eight, which

1021
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: is a very common deer hunting round. It's what you'd

1022
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 1: use for a deer or an elk. It's a big

1023
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: bullet um. And then there is five point five six

1024
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 1: or two to three they're the same round. That's the

1025
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: round that the a R fifteen generally fires. So if

1026
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: you get a twenty two, you build time in your life,

1027
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: you start training regularly for it, and you decide, I

1028
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 1: enjoy this, this is something I want to build skill in.

1029
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: I want to have this option in the event of

1030
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 1: another disaster. Those are the types of weapons and calibers

1031
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 1: you should focus on. But again, and I cannot emphasize

1032
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 1: this enough, start with a twenty two. Do not buy

1033
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:03,320
Speaker 1: a gun if you're someone who regularly deals with suicidal ideation. Great,

1034
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 1: that's all such incredibly helpful information, Robert, thank you so

1035
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 1: much for compiling all that. Um. I wanted to do

1036
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: a quick retraction from yesterday's episode when I mentioned flushable

1037
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,359
Speaker 1: butt wipes. I've had a lot of people reaching out

1038
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:22,879
Speaker 1: to me about flashable butt wipes. Do not use flushable

1039
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 1: butt wipes. They are good for the pipes, pipes I mean,

1040
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: and you can use the Let me talk a little

1041
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: bit about I've spent a lot of my life in

1042
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: places where there's no central government control, where there's not

1043
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: things like running water, So you don't flush your butt wipes. No,

1044
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: you don't. And in fact, if you're in places like Guatemala, India,

1045
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: a lot of Central and South America, particularly rural areas,

1046
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 1: you can't flush any toilet paper at all. Yeah, and

1047
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 1: there will be a little trash can with a top

1048
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: on it next to the toilet that you put that

1049
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,760
Speaker 1: stuff in and then dispose of it in the trash.

1050
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:02,840
Speaker 1: That is an option. Um. Also my option that I suggestion,

1051
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:04,919
Speaker 1: which is just hop in the shower and rense it off.

1052
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: Hop in the shower. Yeah, I thought i'd hear that.

1053
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about worst case situations here. And you know,

1054
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: millions billions of people around the world use either like

1055
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: some sort of sponge or their hands. It's not uncommon,

1056
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:26,280
Speaker 1: it is not pleasant, But we are talking about a disaster,

1057
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 1: and let's let's deal with this reality. This is the

1058
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: We can also just go outside and drag it in

1059
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 1: the grass like your dog does. Yeah, there are options,

1060
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,399
Speaker 1: and disasters are not the time for us to all

1061
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: focus on being nice and sparkly. These are yeah, these

1062
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: aren't These aren't fancy times, all right, aren't fancy? You

1063
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: might have to poop in a hole, so deal with it. Um, Guys,

1064
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: Like we've mentioned a couple of times, we're going to

1077
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 1: the Women's war. It's called Yeah, it's about what I

1078
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 1: found when I went to Syria, a place in northeast

1079
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: Syria called Rojava Um, which is a place where the

1080
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 1: government collapsed and people found themselves having to deal with

1081
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,959
Speaker 1: the situation and build a system that could take care

1082
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: of them and protect them. And they were very successful um.

1083
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: And even though they're facing an invasion by the second

1084
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 1: largest army in NATO, they're still hanging in there, um,

1085
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: not without difficulty, unbed, not interested. The things that they

1086
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: did to survive and the things that I found there,

1087
