Bomb Blast on the Strip Triggers 1970s Fear Revival

The night can feel quiet until you know what to listen for. We open with a stark new outro cut from a veteran’s deployment footage—patrol snapshots, radio chaos, and the moment an L‑shaped ambush turns into a scramble for cover—and use it to pull real, practical lessons for life at home. This isn’t about nostalgia or shock value. It’s about how small misreads compound fast, how comms clarity saves lives, and why “signature” matters more than you think.

From there we connect the dots to a different battlefield: a late‑night Vegas blast placed by two figures dressed head‑to‑toe in black, scooter waiting, quick exfil, and no one noticing for hours. The scale was small. The tactic wasn’t. Pair that with renewed pressure on South American cartels—whose cells already reach small U.S. towns—and you start to see the next risk curve: narco‑terror habits, Santa Muerte cult aesthetics masking spiritual rot, and violence that aims for families as much as rivals. The answer isn’t fear; it’s awareness with a plan.

We get hands-on about building that plan. Gear that works when you need it—retro rifles with modern glass, why a dedicated 5.56 suppressor beats a .30 cal for flash and gas, and how a 22LR can turns training into cheap mastery. We compare thermal and analog night vision for real tasks: finding ejected crash victims, recovering livestock, scanning a treeline without lighting up your position. We lay out home systems that actually help: Starlink as an upload lifeline, solar generators for freezers, mesh Wi‑Fi across acreage, and a mix of solar and cell‑based cameras to hold coverage when the grid blips.

Under it all is a theme: authority and trust. When institutions feel distant or self‑serving, resilience moves local. Build an area study. Map the social terrain. Learn your neighbors and trade favors before you need them. Practice small skills in the off season—firecraft, first aid, comms checks—so you’re not learning under pressure. War stories are only useful if they change what you do tomorrow. Hit play, then tell us the one upgrade you’ll make this week—gear, habit, or neighbor.

No history man. No great depression. Great war to spiritual war.

SPEAKER_00: 0:32

That's from uh that's from I forgot he sent that.

SPEAKER_04: 0:36

Yeah, it's from Taffy, of course.

SPEAKER_00: 0:38

That's the only way we can show gunfire on the or anything gun related on the show. Basically, yeah. It has to be nerf or like finger guns.

SPEAKER_04: 0:48

I mean that might even get us we'll have to show our nerf EDCs someday.

SPEAKER_00: 0:52

Yeah. It's been a couple weeks. No, this is not our new night. We're just doing it this week because I was sick earlier in the week. Uh we had a stomach flu going around. We did too. I'm still kind of on the other end of it. I'm so tired. It's like I'm just not sleeping well. So that's not been fun. But had an event few eventful few weeks here. Well, about you, Rob, what's going on with y'all?

SPEAKER_04: 1:20

Uh not much, really. Not not much, not too much new. We're in the middle of deer season, and uh not sure I'll be able to get out this year or not with the new new baby. So we'll see.

SPEAKER_00: 1:33

But well, I mean, if you do the evening hunt, you'd be fine. Go out about two hours before you know the sun sets. Yeah, I mean you're only gonna be out there for about another hour after that. Yeah, you know, you can do that. I got a lot of guys who do that. They'll do get off work and go do I had to go.

SPEAKER_04: 1:49

We took a steer in by the time we get off work, it's there's no time already. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 1:55

I took a steer in two weeks ago to get processed, and I picked him up today. And my processor, he switches to deer only um in like mid-October, late October. And there was man, there's like 12 dudes there dropping off deer. Oh, yeah. Uh, and a bunch of them didn't even want their meat. Uh what? Yeah, there's like donated or something.

SPEAKER_04: 2:20

Like, man, give it to me. I'll eat it. So I didn't go a deer opener, but the people I know who did up here had a much better opener this year than the last couple of years, so that's good. It is Patty Hearst on the thumbnail. Yep.

SPEAKER_00: 2:39

Yes, it is. Yeah, I don't know if y'all y'all been keeping up with what's going on. There's been a lot going on this week, and we'll get into a lot of that here in a here in a little bit. But I want to show y'all, I'm gonna have Rob show y'all a video I put together. This is gonna be up end up being our new outro. A lot of the well, actually, all of this is from my last deployment. So y'all can kind of see you know what I saw. Because a lot of these I either took them or friends took them that I was out on patrols with and such. So we'll let Rob show that real quick, and this will this will be end up being the show's new outro.

SPEAKER_04: 3:19

Before I do that, I just realized we don't have our names up here. There we go. Okay, so it's two it's two almost three minutes long. You want me to just play it out?

SPEAKER_01: 3:31

Yeah, just play it all through the bigger.

SPEAKER_00: 6:29

Um but just to give you all some context of some of that. So towards the end there, the reason for the mesh, we had to take cover in a mosque because we got we walked into an L-shape ambush. We were in a village for too long, and I kept telling the lieutenant we needed to go, and he wouldn't listen to me. And they ended up set setting up an L-shape ambush around us that injured that was it, a Corman. Uh, he got shot through the arm. The first shotman got shot. Corman got shot in the arm. So we had to throw the tourniquet on him, get him out of there. We and we had to take cover in the mosque because we're taking heavy fire. And the funny thing is, so this was a patrol that we did that was a turnover patrol. I was taking out the guy that was replacing me in my job along with the unit that he had he was attached to. And also with us was a Blue Angels C 130 pilot. This was his one deployment he was gonna do. Oh, really? And he was operating as a forward air controller, which basically he talked to air. Basically, he called in air assets if we needed it. So we're in we're in this village and we start taking fire, and he calls in air, and the unit I was attached to was second LAR, which is light armor reconnaissance, and so they're in these they're they're very thin-skinned reconnaissance vehicles with 20 millimeter cannons on them. We didn't we never use them. We do because you couldn't go anywhere in them because of the waddies of y'all one of the pictures y'all saw the the marine walking through the the ditch basically up to his knee. You can't go anywhere because those are everywhere, so vehicles can't you have to walk everywhere. So the four-year controller were these vehicles tracked or tired, tired, okay. Yeah, and he made it sound like we were pinned down, but we were pinned down in those light armored vehicles. That's how he made it sound. So when it got up to control, but through you know, through through uh Hellman, then because they made it sound like that, they sent us everything in the two Provistons next to us. So we had everything. We had Warthogs, we had C-130 gunships, we had everything, and we were blowing up everything we could. So that's what a lot of that a lot of that was from. Yeah, it did. A lot of the a lot of the radio traffic was horrible, mostly because people you're stepping all over each other all the time, right? Now I was at the furthest reaches of the empire, so we didn't do it as much, but when we had there were some other units that would come through our AO, and they wouldn't realize they're on our net for a while, and like we would be stepping on all over each other all the time trying to talk back to each other. Yeah, so I just want to show you all that so y'all can kind of get an idea of you know some of the stuff that goes on over there, some of the stuff I saw. That's not that's tame. Like my first appointment was to Marja in 2009 and 2010. They made a documentary about it called The Battle for Marshall. It's on HBO. Yeah, if you ever get a chance, watch that documentary about our my first appointment. And it it's basically Marsh was in the center of Hellman Province, and the center of Hellman Province was a Taliban stronghold, and our task was to go in and take it over. So, to do that, what we did is we implemented the world's largest Hilo-born insert. We basically took dozens of uh Helos and dropped a bunch of Marines in the middle of the city, and then they had to fight their way out and contacted the guys on the outside of the city. So that's what we did for like three months, and then we just had to maintain control of the area. But I just want to show you all that because I actually I was going through a hard old hard job I found, found a bunch of that stuff, put it together. I thought y'all did enjoy that. But that'll end up being our y'all see it at the end of our shows from now on.

SPEAKER_04: 10:24

Is is it just a guide thing where I could watch hours of that sort of stuff?

SPEAKER_00: 10:30

Yeah, like a lot of that is only like two or three seconds of like a four-minute video, right? Right. A lot of it, and a lot of it's just like us, you know, joking around and you know, it's it's like real life group chat kind of thing going on a lot of a lot of times, but you know, those are just small snippets that I thought would be interesting for y'all to see.

SPEAKER_04: 10:50

Yeah, seeing the uh the corner of the tourniquet was definitely interesting.

SPEAKER_00: 10:54

Yeah, first one shot, man. It was crazy. Because uh we had to drag him into the mosque, and that that at deployment was actually the reason I ended up getting out. Because when we got in that firefight, like my heart rate didn't even get up any again. I got like a wife. Like it's never a good survival instinct. I should probably get out, you know. So I after a certain amount of times being shot at, you just kind of loses this adrenaline rush.

SPEAKER_04: 11:22

Yeah, it's uh it's interesting. Well, not as a gun guy, it's crazy that like all those weapon setups, all those those guns that you guys had in that video are now like what's cool on like the retro scene. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 11:40

I got uh let me see if I can so y'all y'all y'all saw some of the if y'all are um if y'all follow me on next, y'all saw some of the posts uh from Veterans Day, some of the pictures. But my my second deployment I carried a 203, and that and I thought I was like, Man, I'll just carry a 203, it'll be fun. It is not fun. That thing is heavy, especially when you're carrying HE rounds, and it is heavy. So having to walk 12 to 15 kilometers at a time with that thing was not fun. So if I ever went back, I would have I would have got rid of that 203 real fast. See if I can find them what that picture is. Did I take my shoes off? Explain what you mean by that. I took my shoes off all the time. Of course I did. Well, I work or Crocs, you know, I didn't walk around barefoot, but but the Afghans did like every because they got rugs everywhere. Yeah, so you can see the TO3 there. This was one of the this was like the most boring patrol ever, but it was super long. Yeah, I got 203 and I've got the ACOG on there. My loadout was only about 120 rounds carrying that bread on my chest. I fired that bread more than I did that rifle that deployment. Really? Yeah. Because I'm having to drag a guy and shoot at the same time. You can't do that with a rifle, so my rifle is just kind of like dangling. So I wouldn't hit nothing, you know, anywhere close, you know. So I hope you all enjoyed that. If I found some more, I'll put something together. Yeah, that'd be awesome. I try and they have a get together every year with all the guys from the Marja uh deployment. But it's one sixth and three-sixths of the two marine units that were gonna hold it. Um goes from get with those guys. I'm sure they got way more dead than that.

SPEAKER_04: 13:53

Adrian promised me his internet would be better this episode, guys. Or is it just him? Oh no, I just could it be the solar storm? I think that's mostly past at this point. So I can't imagine that's it. Okay, apparently I'm good. That's good. Rob zoom. I know I don't like that guy. Hold on, here he is. There he is.

SPEAKER_00: 15:25

I have no idea. I don't know if it's like the time of night or what. Like I never I never have issues with my internet till I'm on view. And I'm having to I'm having to connect to my phone right now.

SPEAKER_04: 15:43

Well, the problem is like with streaming, you know, a lot of people, you know, like a lot of internet connections now are like a gigabyte down. Well, when you're streaming, you're actually going up, and a lot of times your upload speed is a lot less than your download speed.

SPEAKER_00: 16:00

So yeah, mine I get I get a gig up and a gig down. I don't know what that's about. I don't know. Maybe I need to like start hooking up to Ethernet or something. It's it literally is only when I'm with you. I never have internet issues until I get on here.

SPEAKER_04: 16:16

All those uh Indians I pissed off on Twitter that one day probably attack you when I'm on with you.

SPEAKER_00: 16:23

Well, I do a lot of video conferencing for work, and I never have issues. Ever. Now I don't do it this time of night, so maybe that's the issue is the time of night for my internet. Heavy, heavy network loads, probably. Yeah, maybe would fiber be affected by that? I know I know cable is. I don't know, honestly. I don't either. I might just get if I keep having this issue, I might just get Starlink and just have it for this.

SPEAKER_04: 16:53

Just for this.

SPEAKER_00: 16:54

Well, this and like when I go to my land or something, you know, just have be able to have internet over there or something, so I don't have to use a scaler, but I might just end up because it's cheap now. Man, you get like a whole set, like the uh rural, what is it, the R V set? It's like 200 bucks, right? For the uh equipment.

SPEAKER_04: 17:10

I have a Starlink set up that I I keep on standby because you don't you don't have to pay for it until you use it. So yeah, I keep it just in case just in case it goes out. I can run it off of uh battery backup basically, even if I had to.

SPEAKER_00: 17:28

So yeah, I have a because I have a a uh solar generator that I have as a backup, and I've always got it charged, it's all it's always trickle charging. In case the power goes out or over, I can keep the you know freezers and stuff going. Yeah, um, and I take it with me when I go to the land sometimes. We we went camping last year at land, right after we first bought it. And I took it out there, you know, because the kids like for them to be able to you know watch TV or movies or whatever at night. Because like it, if it gets dark at four, you know, like you can't put them to bed at four. You gotta find something for doing. I don't want to run around the trees on the dark, you know, some cryptid comes and snatches them up. That's how you end up on missing 411. That is exactly how you well the common knowledge is if you hear something from the woods call your name, you don't answer. You shoot it if you can see it. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. You ever in your dreams? Let me ask you this. And when you dream, I don't ever remember my dreams.

SPEAKER_04: 18:39

You don't ever remember your dreams? I couldn't tell you the last dream I remember is when I was maybe 10.

SPEAKER_00: 18:46

You need to be taking 800 milligrams of magnesium a day. I learned that from Christopher, and I have been remembering all of my dreams because I'm hitting them. Huh? Why would I want to remember them? Wow, because they're funny. Why would you not want to remember some legendary?

SPEAKER_04: 19:09

That doesn't sound funny.

SPEAKER_00: 19:11

You because you woke up before the funny part happened.

SPEAKER_04: 19:21

For a second, I thought you were gonna say 800 milligrams of melatonin. I was gonna be like, are you trying to kill me? Take the forever sleep, is what he's trying to do.

SPEAKER_00: 19:30

What would that I mean, would that even do anything? Like, is there there's a there's a there's gotta be a limit to where eventually it just doesn't do anything.

SPEAKER_04: 19:36

Nine milligrams right here, sweet nectar.

SPEAKER_00: 19:39

That's the best one. Actually, I just got sweet nectar in again today to reload. We got another five in today. Between that and the fruit, the fruit punch or whatever it is, fruit, whatever, those are the best. I don't like the like the winter green. Like, I hate that. Like, I don't need to taste like cold pepper. Cold pepper?

SPEAKER_04: 20:03

You're like you don't like mint ice cream, do you?

SPEAKER_00: 20:07

I love mint ice cream, right? I love it. It's my favorite ice cream, especially green mint. Well, what's the thing? And anybody who doesn't like mint ice cream probably doesn't brush my teeth. Yeah. It is, it's the best. Cookies and cream, close second.

SPEAKER_04: 20:25

They should make a mint cookies and cream.

SPEAKER_00: 20:28

There's a there's an ice cream place here in the town north of me, and they have a uh Kentucky bourbon and pralines ice cream. Dude, it's so good. That's they should have bourbon flavor.

SPEAKER_04: 20:48

Well, I you know what? I'm just gonna start. What I'm gonna start doing in the sweet nectar. I'm just gonna start soaking bourbon, yeah, and just have them soak it up.

SPEAKER_00: 20:59

I'm I'm hesitant about trying new nicotine pouches because I like I tried rogue, and those things fall apart in your mouth, and it's horrible. It'll it'll throw you into another dimension. Like, you don't it's just not fun. So, like I've looked at Nick Knacks, and somebody told me that Knickknacks is owned by Catholics, and I'd like to try them, but because ideally I'd rather not have intergreen and put things made in India in my mouth. You know what I mean? Yeah, well, Zen was made in what Sweden for or still is, I think. I think so. I the Alp was made in India, it's not anymore.

SPEAKER_04: 21:42

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure I think these might still say made in India. Assembled in India.

SPEAKER_00: 21:54

Assembled in India.

SPEAKER_04: 21:55

Yeah, it doesn't sound good, does it? You know they use their yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 22:01

Zen Zen are uh they're leftist progressives, the people own Zen. That's why I don't opt to use Zen.

SPEAKER_04: 22:08

Before it, I can't I don't think I can order it anymore. I like general actual snus from Sweden. That was good stuff because that's just you know legit tobacco.

SPEAKER_00: 22:21

Did you see the video of that guy who took the 50 milligram nicotine pouch from like Denmark? Uh-huh. Man, it's it's funny. He's never done any type of zen at all ever. It went straight to 50. How long did before he threw up? I bet it was a minute. He said that when he first put it in his mouth, he said it was like he put a nine-volt battery in his mouth.

SPEAKER_04: 22:45

Yeah, I believe that.

SPEAKER_00: 22:52

He says something like to the effect of I made a horrible decision.

SPEAKER_04: 22:57

The first time I ever used the first and only time I've ever done chew. I put it in right before rugby practice in college, and then we just ran for two hours straight. Oh, I threw up so much, man.

SPEAKER_00: 23:17

I used to I used to buy logs of dip before we went to the field, and I didn't dip at all, didn't smoke or anything, right? But when after about four days in the field, and people forget to buy some before they go, I was selling a can for like 20 bucks each, and the guys were fighting me to pay for it.

SPEAKER_04: 23:35

It is incredible how much you and Anthony actually have in common. Is it exactly the same as selling flags after 9/11? No, but it's not too dissimilar either, man.

SPEAKER_00: 23:50

Look, I'm not I'm not above taking advantage of some people's addictions, they shouldn't be addicted.

SPEAKER_04: 23:56

I mean, it's it's really the charitable thing to do. You're helping them get over their addiction by overcharging them.

SPEAKER_00: 24:03

Look, it is from the in the wise words of the modern philosopher, 50 cent, it sucks to suck. Right? So if you're willing to pay me$20 a can, I'm gonna charge you$20 a can.

SPEAKER_03: 24:19

Super simple.

SPEAKER_04: 24:24

I don't want to say Adrian is aunt between every episode, but yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 24:33

Me and Anthony on an off the rails show one of us would get kicked off. We'd have to.

SPEAKER_04: 24:42

By by who?

SPEAKER_00: 24:43

By each other, or that's the only way to to save from getting a strike, I'm sure. I'm 100%. Yeah. The world can't contain that much in one space. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 24:57

So that's not a fad joke either.

SPEAKER_00: 25:00

No. Could be. You really want me to answer this question. Yes, I would eat it. Well duh. I like eggnog. Did you see the did you see the stuff that Christopher posted in the telegram chat? No. The Texas eggnog, and it says come and take it on the front of the bottle.

SPEAKER_04: 25:22

Oh, yeah, I did see that one. Yeah, yeah. That's great.

SPEAKER_00: 25:25

Speaking of which, y'all need to join the telegram.

SPEAKER_04: 25:28

Let me get the link for that real quick.

SPEAKER_00: 25:30

Man, I didn't even look at that. All right, we're not announcing the net the winner tonight. I've had too much going on today. But I'll we'll do a show on Monday and I'll announce it then. We're not gonna do a competition this month. I've just between getting sick and you know all Saints Day and everything, I haven't been able to hash out exactly what I want to do. We're not gonna do a gun win every time because there's other skills that I want y'all to start you know branching out and learning.

SPEAKER_04: 25:55

I think the next one I do would be for those of us in the northern part of the nation, it's hard to uh always get to the range during the snowy months.

SPEAKER_00: 26:06

Yeah, I get it. You know, we'll probably do some other things, like we'll we might do like you know, fire building competition or or something, right? And then I might just choose like you know the one I like the best who did the best or whatever. But we'll we'll announce last month's winner on Monday. I just haven't been able to look at all of the I think we have like three or four entries.

SPEAKER_04: 26:26

We could do something real simple this month. What eggnog, yeah, eggnog chugging competition.

SPEAKER_00: 26:33

And keep it down for an hour.

SPEAKER_04: 26:35

Yeah, yeah, yeah. How much can you drink and keep down in one hour? And whoever does the most without chucking it up wins. Man, that's so I've got I mean, I might be like it would it would have to be I mean obviously we won't all have the exact same gun, but I imagine most people are gonna have ARs, right? We could do it with an AR, those are gonna be the same, basically.

SPEAKER_00: 27:09

Mostly, yeah. Do it in timed blind. See how long it takes you to do it blind, feel around for things. We had to do that with uh with 240s. We had to be able to do it blind. That that sucker hurts too when that the spring can't remember the name of it now. Anyway, like if you didn't catch it right, it'll hit you right in the gut and it'll like sometimes uh go in a little bit. Bro, grub day. Must be. So let's bring up Thanksgiving. Okay. Let's br let's bring up let's bring up when do you start decorating for Christmas?

SPEAKER_04: 27:56

The earliest I like to do it is the third Sunday of Avant.

SPEAKER_00: 28:02

So you don't put anything up at all until the third Sunday of Avant.

SPEAKER_04: 28:06

Yeah. I mean Avant Reath, obviously, but yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 28:14

So my wife, you know, being a former Protestant, and then me, you know, kind of dabbling in that till I came back to the faith. We used to do it the day after Thanksgiving. That's that was that's what we did growing up, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 28:26

And I and now it's a struggle to get my wife to not do it that late because my you're you're starting to fight her like the day after Halloween, huh?

SPEAKER_00: 28:39

It's getting to that point, and it's ridiculous. So the issue I see with it is, especially for Protestants, because what I've noticed with a lot being in Birmingham, they're everywhere, right? I'm surrounded and you know all sides. They are burnt out with Christmas by the time Christmas gets here.

SPEAKER_04: 28:57

100%.

SPEAKER_00: 28:58

Like, brother, we haven't even started Christmas yet, like we're not even there yet. So we started doing so to kind of appease everything, we we'll put up like garland on the rails going up and down the stairs, right? We'll put garland on the house, we'll get ready for the we'll start doing that.

SPEAKER_04: 29:13

That sort of stuff to me is I mean it's it's Christmas y, right? But it's more like more seasonal decoration than it is true Christmas decoration, if you know what I mean. Like, yeah, that stuff, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 29:27

Why not? So, but the the day after Christmas, we'll go out. Like, I I would do it later if I can, but then you can't get a good tree, right? So we do we get the tree the day after Thanksgiving, and then we do the Jesse tree, yeah. Right, so we've been doing that up until and then Christmas Eve, we decorate the tree. Yeah, Christmas. That's that's what we've been doing the past couple of years, you know. But we do like St. Nicholas and all that other stuff too. You know, we'll we'll do we do we we celebrate St. Lucy. I don't know if you've ever done that holiday.

SPEAKER_04: 29:57

Now that our daughter is You know, walking and talking and all that. We we might do that one.

SPEAKER_00: 30:04

We've got I found these wreaths, you know, the crown wreaths, they're uh uh electric candles, and they they use those, so they'll dress in the white and I should you know see. I don't know Gavin Ashington like y'all do, so I could talk all day every day, right? And like it doesn't affect y'all whatsoever.

SPEAKER_04: 30:23

Well, that this is an avoiding Babylon, and I just took off her name. So I'd say let's go.

SPEAKER_00: 30:31

I uh Gavin Ashingon is a victim of his cohort. He is like everyone in that generation, it is a blind spot to them. And the the problem I'm seeing with him, especially with this interview he just did with the apostate Rodre, he is trying to find allies, right? Because the people he did he was doing Catholic Unscripted with, I think he feels betrayed by them. And he's trying to find more allies to share his view. Because I mean you guys doing so frantically, it feels like he he's already a little bit ostracized because he left his position that he's known his entire life, yeah, right. And now like he's he's his world's kind of shaking because all the people that he respects do not share his view on this topic, yeah, right, and so he's clamoring and trying to find somebody to grab onto like a rat in a sinking ship, right? It does seem that way. He's he's grabbing onto the wrong people, uh, the people are that are going to shake him out of his faith if he isn't careful. So I Gavin, I've loved every interview all y'all have done with him, and I have a lot of you know respect for him for what he's done. But this issue is going to send him to hell if he doesn't get a grasp on it. I think he could do that for a lot of people. Oh, 100%. A lot of people, which is why and I'm sure I've got something that I'm blind on. That's right, but the difference is I'm willing to be corrected, right? If you give me good evidence and a good argument, like I'm gonna think about it. I'm like, okay, you you might be right, right? Gavin's not at that point yet where he's willing to hear it.

SPEAKER_04: 32:27

Answering this question here, what is our generation? And I'm gonna take R to mean because you and I are kind of mid-millennials, mid to late millennials.

SPEAKER_00: 32:38

I'm late Gen X.

SPEAKER_04: 32:40

Wait, are you you're the same age? No, you're the same age as Ann, right?

SPEAKER_00: 32:44

I'm 44.

SPEAKER_04: 32:45

Oh, you are late Gen X.

SPEAKER_00: 32:49

Okay, I was I'm the last year of Gen X.

SPEAKER_04: 32:52

Yeah, I think our generational blind spot, I think, will end up being our at this point, our almost complete cynicism and complete like lack of trust in almost any sort of authority, in a sense, you know what I mean? Like, and I think it's gotten a lot worse since COVID. Well, a lot better and worse, because I think a lot of it is like is good.

SPEAKER_00: 33:23

I think blind spots the wrong term. I think that's our Achilles heel. Okay, because we're not blind to it, we're not blind to it, yeah. True, right? It's it's more of like it's more of our obstacle that we have to get over. And I agree to a point. I think a lot of us crave authority. We just want dad to just protect us, right? We want somebody to actually be there for us and be willing to sacrifice for us and do what's best for us. We just have no one that is willing to do that because the generations before us are weak. Yeah, right. And so because they are weak, they have they have wasted their authority and they have abused their authority because they never got past the point of being able to say, you should do what I tell you just because. Right? That's they that's what's always worked on their kids, and that's what they're always gonna do. You should just do what I told you just because, and also do as I say, not as I do, right? Which I heard a lot growing up, right? So that the generations before us, they want us to just blindly follow them. And even when, like I've you know, I keep bringing this up on X, and like these people are lying to us, they know that we know they're lying, right? And they still lie to us, yeah. The classic, and so they just want to keep forcing just pure authoritarianism on us. I don't think it's not that we don't want authority, I think we we want somebody who's rightfully going to use authority, and we don't have anybody like that at all. We don't have any of the bishops, well, none that I've ever met in person. Like I see a couple on social media that might be great, I don't know. But then I thought, you know, here in my diocese, we had I had Father Bob who I've met and I thought he was great. Apparently, I'm a horrible judge of character. See, apparently he was dating a stripper for like 30 years. That's right, yeah, you know, but I've never met a good, yeah, even so my daughter was confirmed by Cardinal Burke, right? But how can a man that that is obviously after God's heart unable to see the issue that a lot of people that want to attend the the Latin Mass, but their only option is the SSPX? How can you not sympathize with them? Right? Because he's he's in a bubble of being able to go to whatever Latin Mass he wants to whenever he wants, yeah, he has to go, right? But those people whose only option is the SSPX, and he's gonna tell them they're in schism, right? That doesn't that's not a very loving father, right? So even for a man like that, there are issues that that they're not properly dealing with. And I don't go to a SSPX mass, right? I would like I would give my land for the SSPX to build a chapel on it, right? In a heartbeat, right? If that guaranteed my children have the Latin Mass for the rest of their life, yeah, 100% I would do that, right? But I go to a diocese in Latin Mass, it's probably the best diocese in Latin Mass and three states around us. Community is amazing, right? But it could be taken away from us at any moment, right? The comment I made on X earlier about you know the the Pope giving two-year extensions, the cynic in me, as you brought up, is that they're just creating a list of the bishops who are doing this so they know who to replace with a bishop who will who will get rid of the lab mass. Could be it's just gonna be a bishop martin issue everywhere. Right? That's a cynic in me. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong, right? But if I'm right, I'm in a position where I'm an hour from a FSSP if I need to go there, or an hour and a half from SSPX if I need to go there. I have I tactically put myself in a position where I have those options, right? Because my kids will be raised in in the Latin Mass. And we have some really good novus order masses here. We have some really holy people, a lot of these novis order masses, right? But a lot of those people, those novas or masses end up coming to our parish eventually after a long enough timeline, they all end up coming to the Latin mass, right? So there's a with the the comment earlier was talking about we just need novus orders that are done, you know, that aren't done in a manner of abuse, and like that's that's a feature, that's not a bug. Yeah, it was designed with that intent to be able to remove the reverence from it. Y'all may not want to hear that, but look at how every bishop implemented the English mass after the after Vatican II. Almost to a T. There's a couple of holdouts here and there, right? But almost all 2800 of them that went back to their diocese after Vatican II implemented a mass with massive abuses that had to be drawn back by Rome within the you know a couple of years after that. There's letters going out left and right about the abuses that were going on, right? So anyway, authority authority is probably our Achilles' heel. Yes. You look like you're you got something just on deck.

SPEAKER_04: 39:08

No, not really, like super hard. No, um, I just I don't know. I wish I had more than just a dialysis and mass two hours away.

SPEAKER_00: 39:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 39:25

Because yeah, because if that goes, we're talking eight-hour round trip every Sunday.

SPEAKER_00: 39:34

I mean, we've got a a CMRI chapel up near Huntsville, but I hear it's dying. I don't know if that's true. I know some people that occasionally go there, uh, if like they can't get to their mass or whatever, to them, and they took they say it's dying. I don't know if that's true or not, but you know, like I wouldn't I would have no issues going to a SETI chapel if I had to. Like I would go to probably a SETI chapel before I would most English masses.

SPEAKER_04: 40:06

Yeah, I don't know if I could do it week in, week out. No, I don't think so. I don't think but in a pinch, yeah. I I wouldn't have a like a moral quandary doing it in a pinch, but I don't think I could do it week in, week out. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 40:22

Maybe hopefully they're nicer in person than they are on social media.

SPEAKER_04: 40:25

They have to be, right? They can't be worse. I hope so.

SPEAKER_00: 40:29

I hope so. Because I've met none of them that are very fun to deal with on social media whatsoever. Yeah, especially the issue with you know that y'all had recently in with one. Oh that kind of opened up both chambers on, but yeah, anyway. All right, so let's get let's get into the subject let's start getting the oh my god, 42 minutes.

SPEAKER_04: 40:54

Are you just we are worse than Anthony?

SPEAKER_00: 40:56

I can't believe you let me go that long.

SPEAKER_04: 40:59

I uh well, okay. We it started off with the with the vibe video from your yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 41:08

You all thought you would like that, huh? And you and then we start talking about Christmas. Why did you let me talk about that?

SPEAKER_04: 41:14

I didn't who wait, no, one of the comments brought it up. Wasn't us, it's their fault. Blame then.

SPEAKER_00: 41:23

All right, so let's get into the person.

SPEAKER_04: 41:26

While we're wasting time, but we might as well continue for another minute.

SPEAKER_00: 41:28

Would we be willing to do that? I mean, he he would never come on, he would never come on here. Like, why would he? Yeah, he has no reason to, right? You know, but I would I'd talk to anybody. I can have fun with just about anybody.

SPEAKER_04: 41:41

Lila Rose will be on next week, everyone.

SPEAKER_00: 41:46

Man, could you like and then ambusher with Majorian? Did you ever see that? Did you ever see the the Tim the Joe Rogan episode with Tim Poole ambushed Zuckerberg? No, or the people from Facebook, anyway. It wasn't Zuckerberg, it was like the people from Facebook or whatever.

SPEAKER_04: 42:04

No, I didn't see that one.

SPEAKER_00: 42:05

This is back during like 2020. Man, he tore them to short. Like it just like he had receipts all day, every day.

SPEAKER_04: 42:13

Oh, we have a Nogator. Do we have any mods to kick them out? Oh, wait, no, we don't have any mods. We will convert you, don't worry. People from Twitter. It was the people from Twitter instead of Facebook. Oh, it was a Twitter.

SPEAKER_00: 42:28

Okay, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, it was Twitter. Yeah, you're right. Because it was like it was that like it was an Indian chick, wasn't it? Or you know, Pashtun or something? Punjab. I don't know, man. This is a nogger only chat. If you don't like it, keep moving on. Do you got nog in that cup? No, it's just rum and coke. It's just just rum and coke. Yeah, just rum and coke. My issue with eggnog is I'll drink the whole thing. And I'm trying to like not start eating heavy before Thanksgiving. Because like I'll I'll Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the whole year, and it's more nostalgia than anything. I make a cranberry relish that nobody else eats, I just make it for me because I don't care if anybody else eats it, right? But I try not to eat heavy until then. I eat heavy on Thanksgiving, and then I don't like and then I and then because I'm the only one in the house that really eats leftovers, I'll eat it for like a week, right?

SPEAKER_04: 43:24

So I have to be so up here, Minnesota's very much a pumpkin pie state, right? Okay, as opposed to to pecan pie. Oh, we do both. I love pumpkin, I do, but I do prefer pecan, and no one else likes it. So you know what's better than that.

SPEAKER_00: 43:44

Better than both of those is sweet potato pie.

SPEAKER_04: 43:46

I've heard that, I've never had it.

SPEAKER_00: 43:48

I like all three though. I like all three. So I don't turkey is dry, man. I mean, I like I'll smoke a turkey, and I was going to this year, but my wife likes honey-baked ham, and she likes the like the brown sugar turkey they do. So we'll probably just do that, and I'll do a bunch of sides. Because I just don't feel like you know, has one.

SPEAKER_04: 44:10

But uh turkey's very dry. I I enjoy turkey on Thanksgiving, but that's really that's really about it. Um and it's gotta be the dark meat, and it you gotta smother it with gravy. But I don't mind that.

SPEAKER_00: 44:25

And we mean gravy gravy, not spaghetti sauce gravy. I don't know if y'all first off.

SPEAKER_04: 44:30

I don't no one actually uses the term gravy for spaghetti sauce, do they?

SPEAKER_00: 44:35

Italians do. Well, not not Anthony type of not Anthony because he's not Italian, he's black. But actual Italians call it gravy. No, like like Italy Italians? Yeah, like Italy Italians. I mean they don't say gravy, obviously, they say gravy, but you know, they call it gravy. All right, let's get into topic before we get to an hour, then I really feel bad. Okay, so this first this first one uh y'all may have not saw this last night. Well, yet yesterday evening, there was a news report. A IED went off in Las Vegas. Okay, now IED are kind of blowing that up a little bit, pun intended. Wasn't really an I I mean, it wasn't an improvised exposure. It's okay. You know, right.

SPEAKER_04: 45:32

It I mean it fits the technical definition, but it's you know, it's not like the ones you were dealing with in Afghanistan.

SPEAKER_00: 45:38

No, no, there was no pressure plates involved, you know. But it it is it was the equivalent of a pipe bomb, right? But the reason I wanted to bring it up is because how it was employed. Two figures in complete black, uh like black block, if y'all you remember the mostly peaceful riots from 2020. Black block is a section of Antifa that is their direct action element. So two figures in black on a scooter, not like a you know, push scooter, but like a fespa.

SPEAKER_04: 46:12

They're their little razor, just razors. Wheel pipe bomb in their backpack.

SPEAKER_00: 46:19

Didn't parkour parkour.

SPEAKER_04: 46:20

The only time I wrecked my shin on those stupid razors.

SPEAKER_00: 46:24

But uh they went to uh outside of a restaurant called Piero's, I think it was called. It's a famous restaurant in Las Vegas, whatever. They blew it up basically. They put the bomb outside the front, lit it on fire, and after a few seconds of it being on fire, it blew up, right? So the reason I wanted to bring attention to it is no one had any idea it went off and blew up the the restaurant until the cleaning people came like five hours later, right? Because this is done at like two o'clock in the morning. Okay, like four or five hours later, cleaning people to get there before the restaurant opens, and they realize, hey, this place is blown up. Like how did no one notice this? Right, first of all. The one that shows how oblivious people are. Uh, but just the tactic of you know, people because what they're doing is they've got one ready to jump off the Vespa to deploy whatever they're doing, yeah, and then the other one's still riding it so he can jump on and take off, right? Saw this in Afghanistan all the time. I've got a video I will never show y'all, but it's of a an assassination in the middle of a of a section in downtown Marja. A guy pulls up on a motorcycle, guy gets off a motorcycle, comes up, shoots a guy right in the back of the head, jumps on the motorcycle, and they take off. Never caught the guys.

SPEAKER_04: 47:35

I mean, it's the very that sort of thing is very common in like South America, right?

SPEAKER_00: 47:40

And keep in mind, a lot of Antifa have gone and received training by in Kurdistan, in certain South American countries, in Ukraine, right? They are receiving training. It is the most of them don't know what they're doing when it comes to firearms, but there is a very small section that are highly trained. They have they have SF guys that have defected and are training them. There are SF guys who are trans who are training these people, right? So we're not training special forces. Yeah, sorry. The idea that they are they are not trained, we we have to get past that, right? On top of that, with Operation Southern Spear, that was declared yesterday. It was yesterday, right? Pretty sure it was yesterday. So Southern Spear is the operation that of the joint task force in Venezuela going after cartels, specifically, is the it is specifically what they're going after. Venezuela just seems to be target number one first. The issue in Venezuela is they're not really like the cartels that we know of, right? That that that type. Most of the cartels in Venezuela, if y'all ever watch Ed Calderon, they're like they're cartels out of necessity because these people are starving to death in Venezuela, right? So they basically started selling drugs to make money to be able to put food on the table, type thing, right?

SPEAKER_04: 49:12

Like the uh like the old black market and the Soviet Union and stuff like that. Yeah, that's like all the Russian mob started during, you know, for the same reason, basically.

SPEAKER_00: 49:23

Yeah. So my concern is that once we start going after these cartels, we are going to start seeing a lot of narco-terrorism here in the United States. Because they are everywhere, they're in every city, they're in every rural town, they're everywhere. We have them here in my little 7,000 population town, right? What are you doing, boy? Yeah, go for it. So they're they're in every rural town. We you know, in fact, we just had up you know, 25 minutes up north of me, they just found a grow farm of like 40 acres of nothing but weed, right? Run by cartel members, right? They're everywhere. The issue with cartels are one, a lot of them they don't have any morals whatsoever. They will go after families, they'll go after children, they'll go after dogs, they don't care, right? And they will skin you alive and hang you from uh overpass, right? They don't care, yeah, mostly because they're influenced by demonic entities. Santa Muerta is a a pagan death god that they basically has been a perversion of the Blessed Mother that they worship, and a lot of times, if you see an Our Lady Guadalupe statue in public, and a lot of Mexicans go around there, a lot of South Americans, you know, Guatemalans, whoever, if you look on the back of the Our Lady of Guadalupe statue, it if it the way they hide it is it the Santa Muerte will be on the back to kind of hide it in plain sight, right? So that's my concern is it with what's going on in South America, because we're going to start seeing that, and they're everywhere, and you we are going to start seeing violence in places that people don't expect to see it, and so it just I want to kind of bring y'all's attention to that because you're gonna have to start paying attention to things that like with me when I drive down the road, like if I see a box on the side of the road, I get it anxious, yeah. Like that could be an ID or whatever, but it's it's always it's always just a box till one day it's not, right? And hopefully I it it is always a box, but eventually, with it with what you know, I want to bring up in Las Vegas, eventually it's not going to be a box, and it may not be me, but it may be one of y'all, yeah, maybe somebody you know, right? You know, issue when I see a car on the side of the road, I immediately think it's a VB ID, vehicle-borne IED. Like what you know, are they waiting for me to come by and they're gonna blow it? No, they're not waiting for me, right? Like, I'm nobody, but you know, somebody, if that were in the VBID, is gonna be targeting somebody. So to bring that up, I want to show y'all a video. It is censored. If you have kids in the room, do not let them watch this. But it is censored, so you don't see it. But I want y'all to see the extent to which the cartels are willing to do some violence. So, again, we're gonna give you a second. If any kids are around, shouldn't be. I mean, it's eight o'clock at night, they should be in bed. My kids are at bed because I'm a bad father, but your kids should be in bed because you're good parents, right? So do I have a well, we'll show this real quick, and I'd keep the keep the sound down until it's done because you will hear him.

SPEAKER_04: 52:57

Do you want me to keep the sound down, or do you just want to I'm telling people to keep the sound down? Okay, so I'm gonna play it with sound.

SPEAKER_00: 53:04

You're gonna you play it. Okay, I'm not making you watch snuff films, you're choosing to watch me, and I'm showing you snuff films.

SPEAKER_04: 53:16

What is it with I I was gonna say this channel, but not technically this channel, but us in snuff films. I mean, at least it's not a suitcase, right?

SPEAKER_00: 53:26

It's the reality, yeah. You've gotta see this stuff, and I'm trying to shield you as much as I can to where you don't have to go to confession, right? But like you have to realize the evil that's out there.

SPEAKER_03: 53:39

Look, you're gonna have a thing.

SPEAKER_00: 54:10

None. None. None of my day. I purposely don't watch a lot of this stuff.

SPEAKER_03: 54:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 54:16

I've already got a lot of stuff in my head and the demons show it to me all the time already. But this came across my feet and I was like, well, I've already seen it, I'm out, and it's censored, so I don't have to do any work, right? So I might as well let y'all know. But this is the some of the things they do, right? This is tame. This is real tame. Because some of the the images I've seen from friends who are police officers, and some of the cartel retaliations they do against each other and the things they do to each other is horrific. But I just wanted y'all to see that so y'all understand the situation we're about to be in. Because once we start going after the cartels, they're they have their little cells everywhere, too, and they're gonna start acting up. So I just want y'all be prepared for that.

SPEAKER_04: 55:08

Let's see. Did you want to play any of the videos from the Las Vegas stuff?

SPEAKER_00: 55:15

Or no, uh, because it's mostly just news, and I've I've already kind of gone over what it what happened. Uh they didn't they didn't show any videos of the two people, it's just it's the two people that planted it. Not that I've seen anyway, they might have it by now, but as of you know this morning, they hadn't released any footage of that. But I just thought it was interesting the way they described it. Which so just to back up a little bit, y'all have heard me talk about Mike Shelby over at Ford Observer, Grey Zone Warlord, I think is what his tag is on X. He has a really good book called the Area Study Handbook. That is a really good guide to start creating what's called an area study. And basically, what you want to look at is like what are the immediate effects, immediate players in your area, right? If if there's any gangs, any political issues that you might need to know if you're in a yeah, Griezland. If there's any, you know, if you live in a mostly red area and you get that one Democrat three doors down from you, he's probably gonna turn you in if something happens, right? Like you need to know who he is and all that. So it allows you to create layers of knowledge, basically, of what's in your immediate vicinity. And I've talked to him, we're we're gonna have him on, it's just a matter of you know, aligning our schedules.

SPEAKER_04: 56:38

COVID was really nice for that because anyone you had to worry about was wearing a mask, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 56:45

He told it usually driving, and they had masks on their vents, yes, like that guy watching for that guy, even now. Like it what is it with black folks still wearing masks all the time? Like, yeah, I know you're up north and you don't see black folk very often, but down here in the south, you are right.

SPEAKER_04: 57:06

When they do seem to wear masks at a higher per capita rate, which I know they don't understand.

SPEAKER_00: 57:14

Almost, yeah, they don't.

SPEAKER_04: 57:15

13 of the time they don't understand it, but they don't understand it 100% of the time. They uh it's almost they almost wear it as much as Asians because like Asians love masks, and so each yeah, uh, I think of very different reasons, right? Asians they're just much more communal, communal minded in general, right? And many, I mean, masks in Asia were way more common prior to COVID than they ever were here, due to SARS and yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_00: 57:48

I used to be always when I was a paramedic. If I picked up an Asian, they were always wearing a mask, even before COVID and all that hit. So, yeah, and that and that's in Asia they do it all the time. They they require people to during flu season to wear masks, even if you have a vaccine, whatever. Yes, I would recommend you walk around your neighborhood and get an idea of what's going around. Yeah, you should be what you should get be getting to know your neighbors anyway, right? Like I know all my neighbors, and you know, it's mostly a bunch of women, right? Unfortunately, but older women, so if things go down, I don't have anybody to carry a gun with me, but but I know them, and you know, they we talk regularly. One had to get my cows out of the street when I was you know an hour down the road one time, right? But get to know the people that live around you because if people know you and they like you, it's a lot harder for them to turn you in for stuff, right? So develop that social equity with the people that you live around.

SPEAKER_04: 58:46

I just realized it only took a few episodes of doing a Catholic podcast for our bookshelves to suddenly appear in your background.

SPEAKER_00: 58:54

I it's because my kids are upstairs, I'd be in my room and y'all be complaining about my internet, otherwise.

SPEAKER_04: 58:59

We're complaining about your internet, anyways.

SPEAKER_00: 59:04

But uh, you know what I thought about doing is I thought about making a uh video of uh what's that guy from Thor? He goes, Behold my stuff.

unknown: 59:14

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_04: 59:16

I like how before the show we both had to check to make sure there were no visible guns behind.

SPEAKER_00: 59:20

I did. I I'm trying, I'm still I mean, I've got Camp of the Saints back there. That's probably the worst one. I don't think my copy of MindConf is over there.

SPEAKER_04: 59:30

Not over there.

SPEAKER_00: 59:30

No, that's on a different I don't have it, I don't have it because I can't find the unredacted version yet. Let me let me see if I can find that area stable. Come on one second.

SPEAKER_04: 59:48

I'm just tempted to show the video your your Afghanistan video again.

SPEAKER_00: 59:53

You do whatever you want.

SPEAKER_04: 59:55

I mean, you know, it's starting with the Osprey as as terrible as that. Is flying, it still looks pretty cool.

SPEAKER_00: 1:00:05

Here we go. This is a good one.

SPEAKER_04: 1:00:09

Why do why do these guys always put an introvert like me on the show by myself? A lot of guys.

SPEAKER_00: 1:00:17

You're fine.

SPEAKER_04: 1:00:33

Say what you want about the rest of the video. It starts off hard.

SPEAKER_00: 1:00:38

Look, I tried to time the mortar going off correctly. It was a little hard. I'm not that good at video editing. But I did time the bridge at the end right before the building blows up. I did that one great.

SPEAKER_03: 1:00:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 1:00:52

So all right, so two books. So this is the Area Intelligence Handbook by Mike Shelby. Fantastic book. He has an older one called SHTF Intelligence, and it was kind of the precursor to him writing this one. But this one, 100% you should get. And in fact, if you go to his website, you might be able to talk him into just like giving you the PDF. But if you can pay him for it, do it because he put a lot of work into this. Another good one. And this is the second one to that Clay Martin wrote. The first one was called Concrete Jungle, but this one, Prairie Fire, for those of you that live in more rural areas, this is a lot better of a book to read. And he kind of gives you his. So Clay Martin was former Marine Sniper. Then he became a Green Beret. And he's on X's, I think it's taken his way off the res. But during COVID, he was putting out training videos for like kind of in you know in the mostly peaceful summer of 2020. Was putting out videos like, you know, what guys should have, what's the bare minimum to have, you know, what kind of pistol or whatever, right? Um kind of gives his input. But he's a good dude. He's a he's a pagan, like an actual pagan, but he's on our side. And he's he's he's Christian sympathetic. Well, I'll put I'll put it like this he's crusades Catholic sympathetic, right? He's very sympathetic to what Christianity used to look like, not what it's been over the last 70 years. But he's got he's put out some really good books about this stuff. Concrete jungle period, absolute haves. You have to have these. Uh, because it also gives you some insight, like what you can expect for some things, but also how to plan for some of these things as well. But those are two absolute books. I got like a like that you think that's all my books? I got way more books. There's some more over there. I thought about doing it over there because I have a much comfrier chair over there, but it's just I'd be like in my I'd be in my market lounger and I would look like this. I figured that wasn't what y'all wanted to see for an hour and a half. Don Shift, I have it. So I'm I ordered his rural something book. I haven't looked at it yet. I'm sure it's good. I like Don Shift on X, he's a good follow. Um, so I'm sure his book's good. I'm waiting on that just to kind of go over it because I'm like everything I know is urban operations. That's all I've ever done, right? So I'm I'm fairly ignorant when it comes to rural operations. Like I like I did them you know a little bit when I was in Afghanistan, but like this rural is a whole lot different than desert rural, yeah. And I hate saying the word rural, I'm gonna keep using it till you know I get overall. It's just something rural, rural, rural, rural, but it's uh in the sticks. We're just gonna say in the sticks, in the sticks in BFE. But it's something I have to learn about because I don't I've never had to like how do I secure my property here, right? Like, I'm the only one. My wife can't pull security too, she's got to take care of the kids. My son's right too young to do this. So, like, like what do I do? Do I bribe people? Like, hey, come out here and you can have a cow or something. I don't know. So it's just that's something I have to brush up on, and I have to learn some things. Joe Dolio is another one, he does a community security class, but he's up in like Montana or something now, so I'll probably never be able to take one of his classes ever again until he goes. Now he goes down to North Carolina a lot with uh what's his name or NC Scout. Okay, so occasionally he has him over there, so maybe I'll be able to get one over there. Jail cams do help. I use a lot of ring right now. I have ring everywhere because I have a mesh network basically set up all over my property, so I get Wi-Fi anywhere I'm at on my seven acres, and so I've got ring in places because it's all they're all solar powered. I just have to have they have to be able to connect to internet, so I've got them on trees, like I've got a ring camera screwed to a tree. They do help. All right. Let's see what else we want to go over.

SPEAKER_04: 1:05:10

Uh I don't know.

SPEAKER_00: 1:05:12

I processed some chickens on Saturday.

SPEAKER_04: 1:05:14

Yeah, they go.

SPEAKER_00: 1:05:16

It was good until my hands are covered in blood, and my youngest daughter decides to take a header off the trampoline and bust her chin open. And so my wife had to take my daughter to go get stitches. Lovely. Thankfully, like she's my toughest child, though. So it caused as little drama as possible. It should happen to her. Paul, I have with an orbit system and basically a satellite system, right? I have a computer where my internet comes into the house, and then I have one satellite towards the front of the house so that I'll get coverage over the whole house, and then I have another satellite in my well house, and then that and then a daisy chains from there. So then I have another satellite out in my shop. So in it, and each one of these satellites gets about 2,000 square feet of coverage. So it's that there's one corner towards the front of my property along the road that I can't quite get Wi-Fi. But pretty much everywhere I go, I've got Wi-Fi. So it works well.

SPEAKER_04: 1:06:18

And I mean they make oh, what uh what company do I use? Trying to think what trail cam company. It's not stealth cam. It's tacticam. Tacticam makes a solar powered cell phone, cell phone signal, home security camera version of their their trail cams, too. That uh that I have on my property as a backup to the the Wi-Fi, you know, outdoor cameras. I have so that way if power goes out and you know, our Wi-Fi signal goes out, I have at least cameras covering the front and back of the house running off of cell phone network.

SPEAKER_00: 1:07:01

So yeah, yeah, I don't I don't have any in the house. I don't have any cameras in the house whatsoever. I just don't trust them. Yeah, they just basically project out from the house so I can see yeah, you know what's going on. I would I don't understand why people put cameras in their house. We we had them around naked too much to do while we do that.

SPEAKER_04: 1:07:19

We had them, but we did just recently get rid of the indoor ones.

SPEAKER_00: 1:07:24

Yeah, I just like I did it once when we had babysitters because we didn't really know them yet, so I wanted to keep an eye on them. Yeah, but then they ended up turning out to be like you know, angels incarnate, so I don't have to worry about them anymore. They we had babysitters and they would clean the and we would specifically tell them not to clean the house, and they would clean the house anyway. Like, what are you doing? Like, I'm already gonna pay you well. You don't have to clean my house.

SPEAKER_04: 1:07:48

Now, now you put me in a position where I have to pay you less because you didn't listen to me. Why are you doing this to me?

SPEAKER_00: 1:07:54

Did you use fabuloso? I love that stuff.

SPEAKER_03: 1:08:05

You brought your own cleaning products? This is amazing.

SPEAKER_04: 1:08:12

One thing I've been playing with more is the so I just got a an AGM rattler, I think. Yeah, so that I've been playing with that as well as the the analog night vision I have, and I mean right now I'm still just you mostly using them as fun toys, but the more I use them, the more like like it really is kind of a game changer, and and it's not just for so-called tactical purposes, like you know, it you often hear of like say young kids, you know, getting out of the house at like night and just disappearing, like in the winter up here. That that's a death sentence, right? Yeah, something something like that, a thermoscope or thermal, you know, binoculars or something like that. Man, that it makes it a world of difference. There's so much. I feel like you stuff like that because a lot of uses no one even really thinks about.

SPEAKER_00: 1:09:15

We used to use flare a lot when I was in the fire department, especially if there's an ejection and we couldn't find them. We would get off thermal and we would find them within 10 seconds, right? Otherwise, at night, like they could be anywhere. Uh, we had one that went into the tree and we had to get a ladder truck out to get him out because he was so hot in the tree.

SPEAKER_04: 1:09:34

I imagine the flare cameras for the fire department probably was really originally meant to detect hot spots after a fire, right?

SPEAKER_00: 1:09:44

Yeah, when we'd have to go back to a fire after it we had put it out, you have to just go back occasionally just to make sure it doesn't reignite. Yeah, and you look for hot spots, you know, just to see if it does. But yeah, we used to use it for that stuff all the time. I use it at my property to find you know, chickens or you know, that you know, I can't find at night. So it's especially winter, like it's super easy. Like during the summer down here in the south, everything's hot at night, like it like it's hard to discern. So, like thermal down here in the summer isn't very great. It still helps. Like, if you've got pasture, like you'll see stuff, right? Yeah, especially you'll see it moving. But night vision works a lot better during the summer down here than thermal does, especially if you know you get used to it. But like I bought it, and I'm you know, you can write it off on taxes if you got a farm, you know, as a livestock recovery device, basically. I use it for that. I've used it for coyote hunting, you know, or or at least I thought it was a coyote, could have been a dog, who knows? Uh it shouldn't have been in my pasture, didn't really go check, just shot it, and don't care.

SPEAKER_04: 1:10:44

Not my problem. Up here, but if it's a wolf, you're screwed. You are so screwed if you shoot a wolf instead of a coyote.

SPEAKER_00: 1:10:55

Hey, I've seen Yellowstone, I don't know how that goes. What did you ever see Yellowstone where he had to shoot the wolf that was attacking their cattle? Not good.

SPEAKER_04: 1:11:03

Not good.

SPEAKER_00: 1:11:05

Yep. So what happened to EBT? Nothing still happened. So some people still aren't getting it. Uh really. Some people who got it got a much reduced amount. Much like they went from like 3,000 to 300 type of reduction. So I think we're still gonna see effects from that coming up. I don't think it's well, we're not gonna have any riots or anything. I was most concerned about like violence at you know, grocery stores, you know, people getting you know agitated because they can't buy what they want to buy, and then you start like lashing out at people because like you know, we may chimp out when it's talking about like H1Bs and stuff, but when people don't have food chimp out, like it gets bad. And I'm using chimp out for a purpose, so y'all understand that you know who it is. I think we think we got it, bud. We got it, I think we got it. Make sure we get that in there, you know.

SPEAKER_04: 1:12:02

Um just just waiting for the uh the hallway chirp. Did you did you like that one I said earlier? I I just want to say I I didn't I've never really used Instagram too much. So the stuff you sent me has thoroughly, thoroughly changed the Instagram algorithm for me.

SPEAKER_00: 1:12:28

You're welcome. You're welcome. Unlike what Lindsay, what's his name? Like, I understand why every third thing I get is racist.

SPEAKER_04: 1:12:36

I walk around humming Erica, thanks to you, buddy.

SPEAKER_00: 1:12:43

I saw one, it was um it was Stranger Things. I don't know if you watched the show, but at one point, like they have to she has to listen to her favorite song, yeah. Right to get her out of the thing. Was it was it Kanye's latest? It was Kanye's NH. It was awesome. It was awesome. I love Instagram. You gotta be careful with Instagram though, because man, they'll throw some scantily clad women at you real fast. Thankfully, because I it's like they try and force that one on you, like you may never look at that stuff, yeah, but they try and force that one on you, and if you don't switch off it immediately, then it thinks yeah, that's what you want. Yeah, if you look at it for more than two seconds, it's like, oh, you're getting more of this. Yeah, and you gotta go past that stuff real fast.

SPEAKER_04: 1:13:28

Thankfully, I get far more um Agartha reels than I do. I don't get any of that. I don't get any of those. Really? What am I doing wrong?

SPEAKER_00: 1:13:37

I don't know.

SPEAKER_04: 1:13:38

Next time I get one, I'll I'll send it to you, buddy.

SPEAKER_00: 1:13:40

Yeah, send it to me. Inject your algorithm into my algorithm, we'll cross streams.

SPEAKER_04: 1:13:51

There's no way this could go wrong.

SPEAKER_00: 1:13:56

I mean, Instagram is I've seen this one many times, actually. Oh, yeah, they're all great. I get a lot of gypsy crusader too, which is I understand, but do you know you know how that guy is?

SPEAKER_03: 1:14:09

Uh-uh.

SPEAKER_00: 1:14:10

He's the guy who goes on Omegle or whatever it is, like he randomly talked to people on a platform or whatever. And but he's like, he's the guy who a couple of years ago was going to like a Trump rally and he got jumped by a bunch of Antifa and they arrested him for it. Oh, really? Like that was his villain arc, man. So now he's like he lives in Manhattan and he's super racist, you know. But I get a lot of his interactions on their shows all the time. I don't know what happened to Patrick Kaufman. That is I that is unexplainable. How can someone who talk about Monet Vitae is like simping out for chicks on X? I don't get it. Yeah. Not my story to tell. I I mean, I don't someone said on X that he got divorced. Which I could see that I mean if it depends, like if it broke him, like I could see him trying to crave some female attention that way, especially being a boomer and growing up in the age of Hustler, right? But yeah, man, it's just it's I just and it what's even it's not even like it's not like he does it and then feels shame. He has no shame about it whatsoever. When people call him out about it, he immediately attacks them and blocks them. He just like justifies it. I'm like, bro, what are you doing? There's a coffin clip. Did he send you a coffin clip?

SPEAKER_04: 1:15:49

We're not playing it. I will share it with you after, but we're not playing it live. Okay, even after he said he's like, I know you can't really play this, but I couldn't help myself, he said.

SPEAKER_00: 1:16:07

How are he supposed to pronounce that night name now? Pashacious? Is that like is that like uh Pashassius? Pascasius? Is that like a Roman Cassius clay?

SPEAKER_04: 1:16:25

We said it with five different ways.

SPEAKER_00: 1:16:26

Which one was it? No, which one was it? Spell it out to me phonetically. Pascassius. Blink once if I'm right.

SPEAKER_04: 1:16:45

Pashacias. I'm sure this is a great segment for the audio listeners. Yeah, I don't care. Pashas. Pashases. None of us said that.

SPEAKER_00: 1:16:59

Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about. I never said that whatsoever. Pashas. Link for Telegram. You're aren't you in the Telegram, Paul?

SPEAKER_04: 1:17:07

No, he wants to see the video in the telegram.

SPEAKER_00: 1:17:10

Oh, oh. Pascase. Let me see. Paul's trying to mess me up. He probably is enjoying my struggle because I can't figure out how to pronounce his name now. I liked it the old way.

SPEAKER_04: 1:17:24

Taffy.

SPEAKER_00: 1:17:25

Go back.

SPEAKER_04: 1:17:27

To be fair, I wouldn't want to be linked to the videos he makes either.

SPEAKER_00: 1:17:34

I liked his videos. He does some good videos. He does. I will, I will, Taffy, I will post the coffin with all my exact.

SPEAKER_04: 1:17:46

We deadnamed him. No, what are you talking about? Of course not. I don't think you gotta worry with all 20 people that are here right now, man.

SPEAKER_00: 1:18:08

I know. We have literally dozens of followers. There are dozens of us.

SPEAKER_04: 1:18:14

There's 25 people in here currently.

SPEAKER_00: 1:18:17

Yeah. That was one of the things I brought up with setup of Conte. I said, bro, you've been doing this for months. We have double your subscribers. We've got four videos. We've got 48. We've got double your subscribers. How does that work? We're just more entertaining. Yeah. We're not so did Anthony give his brother the thing today?

SPEAKER_04: 1:18:45

No, not yet. So he so yeah, update on the the brother gives and go thing. So we he ended up raising$21,000 before turning it off. He sent the quote, the original$18,000 quote, to so he could look at it, and and this guy thinks he could maybe do it for$13 or$14. He's gonna come look at it tomorrow. And at that point, Ant thinks he's going. That's when he's gonna tell his brother. So even if the eighteen thousand dollar quote is what he ends up going with, which is seems like worst case, that still is two or you know, two two or three grand left over to to get his brother a car too. If it's a four ranger, not for two or three grand, you don't. Down here you can.

SPEAKER_00: 1:19:42

Oh no, like an old four, like the real four rangers, right?

SPEAKER_04: 1:19:45

Right.

SPEAKER_00: 1:19:46

You know, the ones that you can unlock by just lifting up the handle and putting the uh antenna through the hole. Those of you don't know that trick now, you do.

SPEAKER_04: 1:19:54

But if it is 14 grand, then he that's you know, six, seven grand. He can get his brother a real nice used vehicle for. So uh so yeah, that's awesome. He he doesn't know if he's gonna record it or or if he does record it, if he's gonna share it. Yeah, he he wants to check with his brother first, obviously. Before you know, he's not gonna do it.

SPEAKER_00: 1:20:16

He records it first and then gets gets permission, permission, right? Yeah, you don't ask first because then you blow it.

SPEAKER_04: 1:20:24

Well, no, he's not gonna ask first. Yeah, he's gonna record it and then just make sure his brother's okay with it.

SPEAKER_00: 1:20:29

It is a four freaking ranger, you know, for freaking ranger.

SPEAKER_04: 1:20:34

Well, and yeah, that's what Ant and I talked about this today. Like, like maybe you just want that to be a private moment between like you and your brother, you know. Like, but but I don't know, his brother might want to record something to share with people. I don't know. We'll see, we'll see what happens.

SPEAKER_00: 1:20:50

Yeah, that'd be awesome. That was when I saw it happening during the because like last night's show was the first show. Well, not the first show, but one of the only shows my wife has ever watched with me. Oh, right because she loves Scott Hahn and doesn't like Anthony. But yeah, that's completely fair, yes. Yeah, yeah, I figured you'd understand. Yeah, it's not that she doesn't like Anthony, she doesn't like his voice. She's like she calls him the voice. But but she watched it last night, and as as we're watching it, I'm because I'm watching him in bed, and I'm watching the thing just keep going up and up and up. I was like, oh man, this is gonna be awesome. Because I'm a sucker for like like returning home videos, yeah, yeah, and like surprise, like good surprise videos, you know.

SPEAKER_04: 1:21:35

Like those like those extreme makeover home editions where they show the family need at the end, the new house they just built.

SPEAKER_00: 1:21:42

Yeah, yeah, or like those adoption videos, or like they foster a kid forever, and now like the the kid asks the dad or somebody to adopt them or something, you know. You ever watch those?

SPEAKER_04: 1:21:51

Yeah, man, or they share with the kid, like here now. This is your now, our last name is your last name too. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 1:21:59

We tried to because we tried to adopt two years ago because we we have four kids. My wife is ruthless. My it would which let me how to put this correctly. My wife is she likes what she likes, and she doesn't like what she doesn't like, and say Anthony, yeah, and she lets me know. Now my wife is my secondary filter, right? So the stuff that doesn't pay that gets past my filter, she stops it from getting it past her, right?

SPEAKER_04: 1:22:30

So if and then everything that gets bounced back gets sent to me in Instagram reels.

SPEAKER_00: 1:22:36

So now I don't have my secondary filter, and y'all get everything. But uh, like when we're at dinner, like she's so like she's very on edge that I'm gonna say because like you know, I was in the Marines, I was a firefighter, I've got you know, like a gallows humor sometimes, you know, yeah, yeah. And she a lot of people, especially these holy people I go to church with, aren't ready for that, right? And so they don't quite know me yet, and so she has to like kind of give me those looks, you know, like or like gives me one of those, you know.

SPEAKER_04: 1:23:11

Oh, I know, like you know, get a little bit of that, but uh she a couple weekends ago we were eating at a hibachi place at the Mall of America, you know, and it's it's a nice restaurant, not fancy and like white glove, but pretty spendy, right? And this was at the what yeah, it was the very beginning of the EBT shutdown. I'm like, well, we'll go here, and we won't have to worry about running into certain demographics. Wrong, very wrong. So we're sitting, you know, they have the the kind of the the two you tables facing the two hibachi girls or whatever, and at the one across from us, in the middle of of eating, this woman of that certain demographic pulls out her phone to FaceTime her one of her baby daddies while she's eating while she's eating, and I'm just looking at this, like, oh my gosh, this is happening in front of me. And I'm I'm like, and my wife just looks at me like and she's like, no, no, I'm like, so I had it quietly take a picture secretly to send it to uh to Anthony. Like, you will not believe what just happened.

SPEAKER_00: 1:24:39

My favorite, uh, one of my favorite videos on Instagram that keeps coming up is the gorilla, and the captions always like when you're out to dinner with your lady, and the table behind you is talking about like you know, you know, whatever topic you like, you know, mobile operations, uh, urban terrain or whatever. You know, so he's like constantly like looking back, like wanting to get involved in the conversation. That's me. Like, we have a hibachi place here that we love to go to. Yeah, it's really upscale, it's really nice, right? Yeah, because I don't have to worry about certain types of people, right? I mean, robots bring me my sushi. Like, why would I not go there? I mean, but anyway, everything's we we talking like like a robot, like a robot with two Japanese mecca. No, but that'd be crazy. Could you imagine like little miniature mecha mech warrior? Little gundamps that'd be amazing, but like that, but they're AI operated, so like if you're walking towards it, it'll stop and let you go by before it keeps going, and it'll bring the sushi to your table. It's awesome. Uh, but my my issue with a lot of these hibachi places is they think we're stupid, and I know a Mexican when I see one, I know Mexican people aren't Japanese, right?

SPEAKER_04: 1:25:51

So it is amazing how the person cooking your hibacha is either Japanese from Japan or from Mexico or El Salvador, like it's one or the other.

SPEAKER_00: 1:26:03

Like, yes, they are every time. I don't get that. That when I was now when I was in Japan, we had a Mexican place called Ablagatos, right? But they don't allow Mexicans in Japan, so is nothing but Japanese people working at Ablagatos.

SPEAKER_04: 1:26:18

You go to a Mexican restaurant in Japan getting your food cooked by Japanese, and you come to a Japanese restaurant in America getting your food cooked by a Mexican. Yep, that's amazing.

SPEAKER_00: 1:26:28

So good. Like it it looked like your burrito's got like fried rice in it, you know.

SPEAKER_04: 1:26:34

Oh my gosh, so good.

SPEAKER_00: 1:26:37

There's a really good hibachi place in Georgia. They put bacon in their fried rice. That sounds good. It's I'm I'm okay with that. It's really good. It's in a town called Hushton, right? It's just north of Atlanta. It's called Ninjas. It's amazing. We used to love when I lived there when I was a five prior, there'd be two years old.

SPEAKER_04: 1:26:59

A restaurant called Ninjas in Atlanta.

SPEAKER_00: 1:27:04

Little little on the nose. Do they have uh man? Like we're like on a tangent, on a tangent, on a tangent.

SPEAKER_04: 1:27:19

Where are we? Do they have scholarships for all the uh future uh ninja scholars too?

SPEAKER_00: 1:27:27

Those are called football scholarships. That's what those are. Basketball, round ball enthusiasts. One major reason I like hockey. You're starting to get them in hockey now. You know the only sport that we're safe from? Olympics. That's right.

SPEAKER_04: 1:28:02

Man, what time is it? That was only 8 30 I was on the swim team with two of my two of my friends on the swim team with me were black. They were actually pretty good.

SPEAKER_00: 1:28:12

Man, like when I was in the Marines, because you have to swim in the Marines, like you had to get swim called, and so we used to the all the black guys would call them iron ducks, and because like they've got just so much muscle mass to them, they don't float. Yeah, like floating is like like a cheat code when you swim, right? It is because you're like, you don't even have to do anything, just kind of float there, you don't have to worry about going under. But they because they're nothing but like muscle, they don't float and they just sink. So, man, teaching these kids how to swim, but once they learn, they're the best, yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 1:28:42

They are, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 1:28:43

But that is it's a fear thing they have to get past. But once they get past that, man, we had a guy that was in recon battalion, and that guy could swim forever, and he had like zero percent body fat. He was a beast, but he had to he had to kind of play to it though. So, like he could when he swims, he'd always have to keep his lungs full to keep him up because he's so much yeah, muscle mass, like he's got nothing helping him give him any type of buoyancy. So he's it's kind of it kind of hurt him a little bit because it started to cause issues with his lungs when he's putting the water. I mean, that guy was swim like a champ. But I remember we were at um we were on the lake with my father-in-law, and we were watching these kids jump off this cliff into the water, and my daughter was there. She high do you think that is? And I was like, uh that's probably about 30 feet. So you ever jumped anything that? I was like, off a cliff, no. I've jumped off a 40 foot boat and into the water in full gear with a helmet on, carrying a rifle. I've done that, right? And she's like, Really? What was that like? I was like, it hurt. Yeah, you get water. You jump off, you just hold your helmet on and hold your weapon to you because when you hit the water, you Your helmet strapped, and if you don't hold the helmet down, it'll yank your head up, you know, because all the water hitting it real fast, right? It hurts. And I'm scared of heights, so like I already didn't want to do it, right? But I did it anyway. Yeah. But because I'm scared, I'm scared of heights because of an issue that happened in the Marines, right? But when I got out of the Marines and my second station I was attached to as a firefighter paramedic, it was a ladder company. And so once they found out that I'm scared of heights, they made me climb the ladder every shift. Oh like two months straight. And the first day I went, and I was like, look, I'm scared of heights. I'm gonna do this anyway, but you're not gonna cure me. Trust me, I've tried. I don't like being scared of heights, but uh so I'm so I put all my all my gear in, I'm in my turn out gear, I'm I'm breathing air, I'm climbing up this ladder, going up to 100 feet, clip it in, hanging back, sweating bullets the whole time because I'm scared to death, but I do it anyway. Unhook, climb back down, did it for like two months in a row. Still scared of heights. They're like, I don't understand how you do it. I was like, you just gotta do things that scare you sometimes, man. I don't know how what else to tell you.

SPEAKER_04: 1:31:12

One of the one of the scariest things I ever did. So I worked as a tree trimmer for a while, an arborist, and we had you know, smaller trees you would you would climb, you know, and you'd tie up into the tree and and whatnot. But for the bigger trees, if you could, you know, if it was close enough to a street or driveway, we'd have a boom truck, you know, to do it because it was just faster. But we and we had a pretty nice boom truck that it could go 75 feet, 75 feet up, you know, straight up, anyways. If you were if you you know you had to reach out, the boom couldn't go as high up because then you know the whole thing would tip. But there was one tree, I forget what lake it was by in Minneapolis, but some big house by a lake in Minneapolis had like a huge cottonwood, probably 80-90 feet tall. So the lowest branches were about 80 feet up, right? So we parked the boom truck as close to directly underneath as we could get, get the boom up as high as it can go. But we were still a little ways out, so we were probably only could get the boom up 65-70 feet, and we're still 10-15 feet away from the lowest branches. So we had to throw our ropes up into the into the tree, get them tied to what we thought was a good branch, right? A good junction, and then jump out of the top of the boom truck, which is already 75 feet up, and then swing, and either try to hopefully swing over to the branch, or if we don't reach it, then you have to climb the rope up to the branch, and I'll tell you stepping out of that that bucket on that boom truck into just thin air, knowing that all that's keeping me alive is a rope connected to a tree branch. That was that was not fun.

SPEAKER_00: 1:33:16

The craziest thing I've ever seen in my life. I was at a I was on shift one day at the fire department, and it was this was in Lil Burn, Georgia, you know, just outside in metro Atlanta area. And the power company, Georgia Power, comes by with a helicopter, and there's a guy in the helicopter that gets out on the skid, and they're flying up to one of these high transmission towers, hovers above the high transmission tower, the guy steps out onto the high transmission tower, fixes something, I don't know what he was up there for like 30 seconds, and then climbs back into the helicopter to go do the next one. I'm just looking at this guy, I'm like, what if like a like a you know, a bird?

SPEAKER_04: 1:34:05

Yeah, if if something grounds you, you're dead.

SPEAKER_00: 1:34:10

It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. And then the next day, the next shift, so it's like three days later, the helicopter comes by again this time. Now they're dangling a like a giant chainsaw to yeah, yeah, yeah. To cut all these trees that are encroaching along the hive transmission and power lines. And like, what if like something happens? You kind of jerk it a little bit, and then the chainsaw hits the transmission lines, like you're dead. Like they they better be paying these guys very well, yeah, because that's insane. One time they came by, we're doing it like a couple years later. They dropped the guy from the transmission line and took off. Came back later and got him, like an hour later. He used it. I get, I guess, whatever it was, it was something that had to be really be fixed. But like, we're just like, and it's right above our station, so we're just we're out there just watching them, go on a call, come back, still there. Like, man, they better be paying you well. Better. I don't even know if this is linemen. This is like Spider-Man, right? Like, this is not this is not your average lineman that's on like comes out in the truck and like gets the 30-foot pole to switch the switch, you know, thing on the the transformer. Yeah, it's not the same. Like, these guys are the insane.

SPEAKER_04: 1:35:28

I better have this has been uh an episode filled with lots of different conversations.

SPEAKER_00: 1:35:40

This is what this is what you get after like two weeks of I've got so much in my head I want to talk about. And this is just kind of like a stream of consciousness going on right now. Yeah, uh, there's so many other things I could talk about. Like, as I wanted to kind of go off some of the stuff you and Anthony have been talking about, but I was like, I don't know what I'm talking about, you know. I just want to like have an opinion about it, and I want y'all to hear my opinion.

SPEAKER_02: 1:36:08

I don't know what we're talking about.

SPEAKER_00: 1:36:10

Uh but then I realized like I'm probably gonna have to go to confession later, so I probably shouldn't do that. So, but yeah, this is just like fun opinions. I've had so many opinions, so many, and you know what? You and I tell my wife this all the time. She's like, Why are you you know, like, why do you care about talking to people on like social media and whatever? It's like, look, there's a lot of people out there that are just wrong, really that I need to make sure that I tell them that they're wrong. Exactly, they are wrong, and they need to know it, right? I'm doing a service, right? I'm helping them. This is charity, is what exactly is man, like just some of it. Oh man, it's just so much has been going on the past couple of weeks, and with my son serving on All Saints Day, so we couldn't have a show then. And then Sunday night I got sick, and then I didn't sleep at all. Um and I didn't even get the worst sick. Like, my one of my daughters and my wife got the worst sick, and like I so like all night I'm like changing bowls out for them because of throwing up all night, you know, like rent some bowls out, bringing back new bowls, so like they don't, and I'm constantly running rounds around the house to make sure everybody's good.

SPEAKER_04: 1:37:27

Does the South do the Midwest thing where your puke bowl is your popcorn bowl?

SPEAKER_00: 1:37:35

Trick question, because any bowl is a popcorn bowl.

SPEAKER_04: 1:37:38

Exactly. Good job.

SPEAKER_00: 1:37:43

We actually have a popcorn popper, right? So machine, and it's got like that little wire that grows across a hot plate, right? It just like circles around a hot plate, yeah. Yeah, you know, and it's got a bowl on top, and then there's a cap on it that you can take off so it'll vent, yeah, right. And then you just ready for popcorn, you put it out, turn it over, pull it off, right? Yep. So my my daughter, my my wife's uncle loves popcorn. He's got like one of those big popcorn machines where you put it in the bucket inside the glass case, and like you dump out the bucket inside the glass case, like the carnival type stuff, right? And we've got one, I just haven't put it together because I've got nowhere to put it. He bought us one for Christmas. Like, where am I gonna put this thing?

SPEAKER_04: 1:38:22

Is it like the the the the cart on the cart?

SPEAKER_00: 1:38:26

You know, so but anyway, we used a little like hot plate one instead, and but it always goes from that bowl to another bowl, like it never stays in that bowl, which it it I know what you mean, but it's like why am I doing this?

SPEAKER_04: 1:38:42

They they designed this, so I didn't have to do this.

SPEAKER_00: 1:38:51

Now, we're talking about a public service announcement or Palmetto State Armory, because both are true, yeah. 100 yeah, both are true. AKs aren't garbage, AKs serve a very valuable purpose, they're to let you know that you should buy an AR.

SPEAKER_04: 1:39:10

Guys, are you doing this just because I ordered one?

SPEAKER_00: 1:39:14

ARs, I used to have an AK, and I saw it was a Watser 10. I bought right after Sandy Hook. And I bought it for like 400 bucks back when I was a poor sergeant, and I I didn't even really have 400 bucks to spend, but I bought it anyway because I figured I wasn't gonna be able to buy one for a while. But that was back when like Tula ammo, you could buy like a thousand rounds for like a hundred bucks. Yeah, but now Tula ammo is more expensive than my 300 blackout, yeah. And so I just a there's no reason to have an AK at this point if you're trying to shoot 762 by 39, but a AK chambered in 556 is fun, but don't do anything to it, keep it stocked, right? There's no reason because it's never gonna be as good as an AR. We talked about this in Telegram chat. Y'all should know this. Most of y'all are in there, but uh just yeah, keep it stock. But it's the old adage AR guys keep their AK stock. Yeah, AK guys keep their AR stock.

SPEAKER_04: 1:40:17

I mean, I mean, so the one I ordered is not like a stock AK, you know. I mean, it's it's one of PSA's saber AKs.

SPEAKER_00: 1:40:30

So I don't know. I don't know. We'll see what happens. You have you ever heard of rifle dynamics? No. They make the best AKs you can buy. You're gonna pay for it.

SPEAKER_04: 1:40:42

Well, okay, but I don't want to do that because I am an AR guy.

SPEAKER_00: 1:40:45

You're gonna pay about two grand, but you're gonna be buying a sub-moa a K. Really?

SPEAKER_04: 1:40:54

Uh what's his name? Jim. But why do that when you can spend half that for a sub-moa ar?

SPEAKER_00: 1:41:01

Look, you're preaching to the choir. I already agree with this. Like, but if your heart is really set on an AK, I'm trying to it's not set on an AK because I because I wanted to replace an AR, it's just because you want to have an AK yet, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 1:41:21

I gotcha.

SPEAKER_00: 1:41:21

Yeah, Jim Fowler, that's who it is. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04: 1:41:24

Okay, I've heard of Jim Fowler, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 1:41:26

Yeah, he makes the best AK guy, and you can get like a 545, which is basically a 556.

SPEAKER_04: 1:41:32

But that's you can't hardly find the ammo at all for that.

SPEAKER_00: 1:41:35

Well, that's the issue, is that the ammo is expensive, and I don't know if it does anything with 556.

SPEAKER_04: 1:41:40

It's it's 762, it's it's PSA Saber 8Ks are built off of Romanian AK47 park kits from the 60s or 70s.

SPEAKER_00: 1:41:53

Yeah, now if I were to buy an AK, it would be a PSA because I don't trust anybody else's. I don't know Egyptian wassers or Romanians or right. Yeah, I would I would go with a PSA.

SPEAKER_04: 1:42:04

Well, I think that's never supposed to be the better AKs, though.

SPEAKER_00: 1:42:09

Better than even the well, and it really would have just come because all AKs are the reason AKs are so prevalent because they are stamped, stamped, right? They're basically just folded to make them to make a rifle and throw some wood you know on there and it's good to go. And that's what made them so cheap. Yeah, they're not cold hammer forged or or anything like an AR is, so they could do a lot more in a lot less time. Now that causes other issues, like they're they're much more loosely put together, so you can like run them with gravel in them and they'll still run, but they're also you know, you you might barely hit a man-sized target in 100 yards, right?

SPEAKER_04: 1:42:44

So you kind of but the Russians were okay with that, yeah, because they're perfectly okay with that, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 1:42:49

Right, so you just kind of have to go with what you're you're willing to put up with, but if you're wanting something more quality, because you really don't need to worry about accuracy till you get to you know 762 by 51, and then you want a really accurate gun because that's a that's you know the basically the replacement for a 308, yeah, and the eastern block. So yeah, you can still find car 15 so you're gonna pay for it though. Just matter what you're willing to pay for it. You could buy a clone, you can make a clone, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 1:43:20

They sell the clone a lot cheaper all day.

SPEAKER_00: 1:43:22

Yeah, like I've got a I've got a clone of my M4 I carried in Afghanistan. I bought from Lone Star Armory. It's you know, it's got the it's got the 16-inch barrel with the eight-inch handguard, you know, the Picatinny rail handguard and carry handle and everything. It's awesome. You got the you got an ACOG on it? No, I'll put a put a red dot on it. A carry handle mounted red dot. It's awesome. Nice. My ACOG is on my on one of my rifles I use all the time. Yeah, well, I love ACOGs. ACOG supremacy, 100%. But I've also got LP VOs and red dots with magnifyers. Like I like them all. I love the A ACOG though, just because I'm used to it and it I can literally run over it and it'll still work. Yeah. You Canadian guys, man. Y'all need to get out. Come down south. I'll sponsor you. Come on down.

SPEAKER_04: 1:44:22

I can get you across the border. It'll be in a canoe. I can get you across the border.

SPEAKER_00: 1:44:28

We'll run some rubber dinghies up to y'all and get y'all across the lakes. Get y'all back over here. Yeah, I mean everyone's concerned about civil war in the United States. I think civil war is gonna hit Canada before it hits us. Like you can only push nice people so long.

SPEAKER_04: 1:44:48

I just I don't know. It depends what you like. I could see Quebec. I mean, there's Quebec's always been almost breaking off for 200 years now. So that wouldn't surprise me, but they they don't have weapons. Like, I you know, I don't I don't know.

SPEAKER_00: 1:45:06

I mean, we just need to run some guns to them between them and the Irish. Start running guns, we'll be good. We'll get them going really good. What they need to do. Can't Canadians aren't it's not that they're too passive, they just have a high tolerance for bullshittery. And so they're they're willing to put up a lot. Yeah. I have a 31, Joe. I like the TA31 because that's why you use NAV in the Marines, and I like the Tritium. I like the fact they don't have to have a barrel battery. I would have the TA002 if I otherwise, but I don't like to be dependent on battery if I don't need to be. Forget which one I have on my on the jackal.

SPEAKER_04: 1:45:49

I think it was TA11. That depends on the day of the week. I was gonna say, and what do you mean by pistols?

SPEAKER_00: 1:45:54

Are we talking like a like an AR pistol?

SPEAKER_04: 1:45:58

Right, we were talking about AR, so are we talking AR pistols?

SPEAKER_00: 1:46:01

My favorite handgun to shoot is my CZ Shadow Compact. But I'm I shoot best with my Glock 19. But I love shooting my double action, single action CZ shadow. It's just super fun to shoot.

SPEAKER_04: 1:46:19

My berettas are my my two favorite to shoot right now.

SPEAKER_00: 1:46:22

Until I finally bite the bullet on getting a beretta that I can mount a red dot on. Because that would probably then become my favorite. Like I thought about getting what the land in tactical cheetahs and putting a red dot on it, that way I can still carry it a lot easier because it's basically the size of a block 19.

SPEAKER_04: 1:46:42

But that's the the 92X and M984 both you can mount red dots on them, it's just they're huge. So high.

SPEAKER_00: 1:46:53

Yeah. And you got and like aesthetically looking on Bretta, you have to basically mount a Trigicon SRO because nothing else really like looks right on it. I know what you mean, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 1:47:05

Yeah, I have I have a Trigicon uh RCR on my 92X, and it looks pretty goofy, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 1:47:11

Like this, like it with all the curves of a Bretta, you need a cur like a red dot with some curve to it. That's why the SROs look so good on it.

SPEAKER_04: 1:47:18

It's only fitting for the Italian. It really is. Rob Glock.

SPEAKER_00: 1:47:26

We got any uh questions?

SPEAKER_04: 1:47:28

Rob loves Glock, it's just it he just he loves the one Glock I bought for myself was trash. Would you get a 43x? 43x. Well, that's because you're young. Okay, I I mean I have a Shadow Systems MR920. Yeah, it's not the same.

SPEAKER_00: 1:47:44

I right, but why would I get a Glock 19 when I have because you can get a Glock switch, that's why. My Glock 19, because I I like I have medium-ish hands, yeah, right? So my Glock 19 fits well in my hand, right? So I like it because of that. My MR920 fits well in my hand too. But I've I'm scared to carry my MR920 now because I've seen so many people have issues with it. Yeah, I don't care. So I love my Glock 19. I don't I don't have a need to go to a 45 or a 47, Glock 45, 945 caliber, right? Glock 45 or Glock 47, because the 19 just fits in my hand so well. And if I want concealability, I don't need something with a bigger hand.

SPEAKER_04: 1:48:51

A big bigger no, that that makes it less concealable.

SPEAKER_00: 1:48:54

Yeah, exactly. Or like, because like right now, the way I carry my Glock 19 is I carry it with only it with a flush 15-round mag, right? Right, but then I carry a mag that has a plus five extension on it in addition. So if I need to, you know, go to a second mag, I've got now I've got 20 rounds, but it makes it a whole lot more concealable. And I you know, I I carry that thing and everything, but I carry appendix too. So it's it's a lot easier for me to to get that thing to where you can't see it because of the size of it. Now, like a 45 or 47 that might that has a larger grip, like it's a little harder to it's not much, it's like a half an inch to an inch, but like that's a hey, an inch is big. I don't know if y'all know that, but it really makes a difference. One extra inch, you know.

SPEAKER_04: 1:49:48

Um so I carry a three o'clock. Well, two two and three, two to three, somewhere around there, usually. And at that position, yeah, you know, an extra inch on that hand guard can really make it stick out, you know, depending on what you're wearing.

SPEAKER_00: 1:50:08

Yeah. Especially in the summer where you're not wearing a lot of clothes. Yeah, you really need to be cognizant of you know how you're carrying. You but yet most people aren't gonna notice because they're so you know locked in on their phone anyway. You're not gonna see it, but like some people will, yeah. They will take notice, right? The people who you don't want to do. So if you can hide the best you can, you should. Um, I hate the 26. I think the 26 is the stupidest gun Glock has ever put out with.

SPEAKER_04: 1:50:38

It it is a controversial one. It you either love it or hate it.

SPEAKER_00: 1:50:42

Well, I am one of the ones who hate it. I think it's dumb. I think it it the barrel's too short, it it is too much error to not hit. You might as well carry a 48 because at least a barrel on a 48 is longer, it's thinner, so because it's single stack, so you can carry it easier, but at least you'll hit something. Like, I don't even carry like my 43. I carry, I bought my 43 years ago before the 43x came out, and I pretty much know like I'm only shooting somebody I can punch. Because like anybody past that distance, like I'm probably not hitting them.

SPEAKER_04: 1:51:20

The twin when the 26 came out though, it made more sense at that point. You didn't have the stack and a half, you know, micro nines that are out there now. It was the you know, even though it's a thick boy, you could kind of theoretically make it a pocket pistol, you know what I mean? Yeah, and that's all they had then, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 1:51:45

Yeah, like at that point, you might as well carry a hammerless revolver, you know, because at least you can shoot through your clothes at that point, true, you don't have to worry about the slide.

SPEAKER_04: 1:51:54

So the 26x is an aftermarket thing, right?

SPEAKER_00: 1:51:59

Maybe I don't know.

SPEAKER_04: 1:52:00

I I've seen stuff on it, but it seems like it's it's like an aftermarket thing. It wouldn't a 20 wouldn't a 26x just be a 19 with a shorter barrel.

SPEAKER_00: 1:52:12

It it would well the 26, yeah. Is the 26 have a shorter barrel than 19?

SPEAKER_04: 1:52:18

I don't know I don't think it is so a 26x would just be a 19, wouldn't it?

SPEAKER_00: 1:52:22

It would just be a 19 because it's just got the the grip on the Met.

SPEAKER_04: 1:52:26

Yeah, it would just be a longer grip.

SPEAKER_00: 1:52:28

Yeah, so it's just a it's like a it's like a 19 chopped in half.

SPEAKER_04: 1:52:32

Glockstore exclusive, Glockstore exclusive.

SPEAKER_00: 1:52:39

Like the whole Glock V thing was that them attempting attempting to outpace those lawsuits, just like to do as little as possible. They they didn't really do anything. They put like some ridges in there, and that's about it. And that really is not like you with a two minutes of the Dremel, you're you're back to just a regular Gen 5 Glock. Now they're going after Ruger. Yeah, they're gonna they're gonna anybody that does a Gen 3 clone, they're gonna go after. Like it Shadow Systems has already been the knee. I don't know if you watch the Focus Trip uh video on it. They're they're pull they're not they're making adjustments to theirs too. Oh I think the last person that's gonna do anything, like they're gonna go after PSA and PSA's just because PSA's willing to go to I was gonna say they'll they'll work with uh they don't care GOA and just take it to court, yeah. But it speaking of which, guys, if you're gonna buy a suppressor, you need to do it before the end of the year. The next month. Because otherwise it's gonna be years before there's enough stock for you to even buy one. Right now, a lot of these places are having sales on you like you know, basically paying for the tax tap for you by reducing the price of the suppressor by a couple hundred bucks. You need to do if you're gonna do it, because after January 1st, because there's no longer a fee, stock is gonna be gone. And so I do it now. If there's one you've been looking at, and you don't go into debt, right? Don't you know not skip a mortgage, like don't do anything like that. But if you got the money and you've been looking at getting a suppressor, you need to do it before the end of the year.

SPEAKER_04: 1:54:20

Since we're on the subject, so I have one, right? It's a 30 caliber dead air sand X. If I were to buy another one, what do you think I should get?

SPEAKER_00: 1:54:33

You you need a dedicated 556. That's kind of what I was and I would get a 22.

SPEAKER_04: 1:54:42

Now, I mean, the 556, I mean, the 30 cal would work for obviously.

SPEAKER_00: 1:54:49

So yeah, it would, yes. But so let's talk about this for a second. Yep. So a 30 cal can will suppress a 556. Yep, but not as well as a 556 dedicated can, right? So your 30 cal should be on any, like I have a 30 cal that's on my 300 blackout, stays on there, never comes off.

SPEAKER_04: 1:55:08

That's what it's on right now, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 1:55:10

But I also have another 30 cal, I've got the uh trash panda on my 556 because I can't like I haven't been able to get a 556 dedicated because I want to flow through and like a hugs work. Every time I want to buy one, like something happens around the house and I gotta pay for something else, right? Yeah, like my septic system went, you know, I had to fix that and whatever. But you need a dedicated 556 because it's going to suppress the 556 better. But to answer the question that was brought up earlier, the point of a suppressor, especially on a 556, is signature reduction. Okay, so what that means is when you fire around, there are flames that come out the front. Okay, because there it's a mini explosion every single time you fire around, right? A suppressor is going to mute that a lot, not just the sound, but the visual explosion that comes out the front, it's gonna mute a lot of that, so it's gonna be harder for people to see you if you have to shoot, right? Which right now, you know, not an issue, right? But when you get into an issue where you might have to be shooting from the trees, right? Because you want to be the reason that the that the trees are haunted, right? You want to make sure people can't see where you're shooting from. Now, suppressing a 556, the purpose is not so much to reduce the sound because you'll still get the super spotter crack. Yeah, it's very hard. But after about 50 yards outside of the cone of you shooting, it's very hard to tell where that's coming from, right? So, who did it? Brass Facts, I think, did a video on the signature of the sound on 556 when it's suppressed, you know, within 10 yards you can hear it pretty easy, and then he goes out to like 50 yards, and then he goes like then in a building and hearing it, and like once you get to a certain that you can't tell where it's coming from, right? Right, otherwise, normally, if you know you're outside, you hear a gunshot, you like your way your ears work, you know exactly you do where to look, right? The suppressor's gonna mass that for you and make it hard for people to know where you're shooting from. That's the purpose of suppressing a 556. So if you're going for a suppressor on a 556, don't focus so much on the sound suppression. You need to focus on things like durability, weight, length, right? Like, for example, Ballister Central has an Inconel 556 suppressor that's only about two inches long, but it's fat, it's like a beer can on the near thing. So, what they don't do in length, they do in girth, right? So but it does well, it does the job, it reduces the signature. And Inkanel is a very durable material. They uh they call that model the chode. They do what they call that model the chode. So that that that is why I would suggest getting a 556, but then after that, or or with that, because you can sometimes they'll like throw in a free 22 suppressor, too. Yeah, the 22 suppressor, you will love shooting more than anything else you'll have.

SPEAKER_04: 1:58:18

You're right.

SPEAKER_00: 1:58:20

Like, without a doubt, you'll love it because like you could shoot a 22 in your house, and the people in the next room wouldn't know. Like, that's shooting a 22 is and it's cheap. Cheap. Yeah, you you're paying like five cents a round, right? You don't have to worry about every time you shoot a mag, it's like 20 bucks. You don't have to worry about that, it's it's like a dollar, yeah. If that, but that that would be what I would go to. Now, what suppressor do you get for five five six? I would go with a flow through on a five five six because you're not worried because flow throughs aren't as good as sound suppression, but you don't have to worry about now that gas is blowing back in your face, right? Right, and so it's it's a lot because like my 300 blackout, when I'm shooting that thing rapid, like I'm like you know, like choking on it, you know, yeah. But with a flow through, you're not gonna have to worry about that. So I would, you know, you know, uh go the Huxworks, flow through BNT has a really good flow through now. Who is it? Silence the central has no, not silencer shop, silencer co has a good one, but just not a good one.

SPEAKER_04: 1:59:23

Those are all low, low back pressure ones, too. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 1:59:27

And supposedly the the one from Silas Central I was talking about, I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head, but it's supposedly like a lower back, it's not low back pressure, but it's lower back pressure, right? But yeah, I would that's what I would go with if I were you.

SPEAKER_04: 1:59:41

Back to this question, another another point of them for civilians. If you hunt, you know, uh depending on what you're hunting with, most people are hunting with subsonic 300 blackout, or most people don't even know about the 8.6 blackout, but most of the rounds you're hunting with, it's there's still going to be. Loud, but if you know if you're taking a single shot at a deer and you don't have ear pro on, you're not gonna cause yourself irreparable hearing damage with the suppressor. So it is useful for that too.

SPEAKER_00: 2:00:13

Yeah, like I have a hunting rifle, it's a six-pound creedmore, and it's I'm probably gonna put one of my 30 cal cans on it when I go hunting with it. Yeah, just to you know help because it just you know I already hear bad enough. I don't need to make it worse. You know, I get tennis already all the time right now. I don't need to make it worse, but yeah, and plus like my property I've got you know down the street's 42 acres, but if I shoot a deer, I don't want to scare all the other deer. Right. That yeah. So with a suppressor, it's gonna lessen that chances. And then maybe I'll get more deer come back later in the hunting season if I need to, or maybe next year I don't have to worry about as much. So because otherwise, right now I would just hunt with just bow because I've only got 40, 40 acres in the lot when it comes to hunting.

SPEAKER_03: 2:01:03

Right.

SPEAKER_00: 2:01:04

So no, but you can buy it. You can buy tracers.

SPEAKER_04: 2:01:10

Yeah, there's nothing illegal about it.

SPEAKER_00: 2:01:12

It's expensive. And it's I mean, I would buy like 30 of them just to have fun with it, and then that's about it. There's no reason I would now when you start getting into like FRT triggers and super safe triggers, which allow you to simulate full auto. It's not really full auto because the the trigger is fully going back and forth, and it's not one, it's not multiple bullets from one bullet trigger pull. You get into the the full full auto rifleman portion of your squad, you may want to incorporate tracers then because you can see so everybody else can see where your suppressing fire is going to. That's the purpose of tracers. So if you're in a squad of four guys and you're all in line, you know, and you're taking fire and you see your automatic rifleman, and like every 10 rounds or five rounds, or whatever you space it out to, you're seeing a tracer, you see where he's shooting. So then now you can direct fire to where he's shooting, and that helps.

SPEAKER_04: 2:02:09

Have you been following the uh the Lima 6 belt fed thing in the red right hand? Yeah, it's gonna be fun.

SPEAKER_00: 2:02:20

That's gonna be that's here in a couple years. I'm probably gonna once they hammer out all the kinks, I'm gonna definitely get me a uh like because you could buy like a 249 right now, saw 249. Yeah, for 10 grand. Right now. Oh, I'm just saying, like once any AR is a 249, like those 249s are gonna come down. That's true. It's gonna be fun. It's expensive though, man. Like I I might get one that's in 22, you know, just so I can afford it.

SPEAKER_04: 2:02:56

Well, auto 22 will still get a still get the job done.

SPEAKER_00: 2:03:00

Yeah, I mean you can still cut a tree in half of the 22. Hit it with enough rounds.

SPEAKER_03: 2:03:04

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 2:03:05

Yeah, I don't get the close bolt, but like they're doing what they have to do within the the bounds of what they're doing. I think eventually they're gonna go with the open boat, especially like a piston system. I can see them going with the problem with the piston system is it's gonna beat itself up. Uh cook-offs are fun, man. That's a that's a feature. You want a cook-off. Nothing like riding the light then, man. You're like the first bullet into a belt, and that thing starts cooking off, and you just ride it until it goes out, man. I mean, you could break the belt if you wanted to, but that's no fun. Who does that? Bunch of fruitcakes do that.

SPEAKER_04: 2:03:50

Well, you might do that when you're the one paying for the ammo yourself.

SPEAKER_00: 2:03:54

Yeah, I guess, yeah. Yeah, I can see that. All right, what else we got? We got any questions? Anything we haven't seen yet? Uh you were starting some stuff earlier, but I don't think you've started anything in a while. Yeah, we went through all that. I think we did. This was fun. It is. Just for like a two-day turnaround. We're gonna be back at it on Monday. It's gonna be crazy. I don't know what we're gonna talk about, but we'll find something.

SPEAKER_04: 2:04:22

There will be something. There is something will happen this weekend, I guarantee it.

SPEAKER_00: 2:04:26

Yeah. What pistols, rifles, and shotguns do you find are the worst to shoot? Historical. The worst pistol to shoot. Any of the the old like Colt 45 replicas. Those things are I'm gonna have to disagree. I just do not, they're just not fun, man.

unknown: 2:04:44

I guess.

SPEAKER_00: 2:04:44

No, Joe, we didn't do the competition. We're gonna announce it on Monday. I didn't get to to go over it today.

SPEAKER_04: 2:04:51

I have I have a single action army cult replica in 357 Magnum. And I I don't mind shooting it one bit.

SPEAKER_00: 2:05:01

Do you? I just fun. Like it they they look they're aesthetically pleasing. I like I like the look of them, but I just I don't like shooting them. Shotgun, I've never fired a shotgun I don't like, so I can't speak to that one.

SPEAKER_04: 2:05:15

Recommendations from muzzle odor and the so shotguns, there are some six single shot shotguns, like 12 gauges, can be kind of brutal sometimes because they're they're light, generally speaking, compared to yeah, you know, other other shotgun types.

SPEAKER_00: 2:05:35

And yeah, but if you put it in your shoulder well enough, like it no, like I wouldn't like now. I've never shot like a magazine fed shotgun. I bet that would suck. Right? You know, you're doing like six rounds like within like three seconds, I bet that would not be fun. But I have a 10-gauge duck hunting shotgun. My dad left me when he died, and I like all his friends are trying to buy it from me. I don't know why, but like I've never shot that, but I bet that thing kicks like a mule, man.

SPEAKER_04: 2:06:02

My my least favorite handguns to shoot are your your snub nose, you know, airweight, Smith Weston, 1338, those things. I just hate them.

SPEAKER_00: 2:06:14

Oh, I got one now. The worst handgun I've ever shot in my life is the Ruger. What is the Ruger? LCR. Who makes LCR?

SPEAKER_04: 2:06:23

Are you you're talking the revolver or the no the semi-auto LCP? LCP. The Ruger, oh you're right, you're right. I I the Ruger LCP, my wife had one, and it was polished stainless steel slide, and the corners on that slide were so sharp that when you went to rack it, you would cut your fingers just on the the edge of the slide.

SPEAKER_00: 2:06:48

Heated that it's just not it's too light, it's too small. You the trigger's horrible, right? That's gotta be the worst gun I've ever shot in my life.

SPEAKER_04: 2:06:58

And the the spring is so stiff because everything's so small and light that you are you I nothing good about that thing.

SPEAKER_00: 2:07:07

So on this next one, I don't my dad used to muzzle load hunt. I don't muzzle load. In fact, I gave my dad's muzzle loader to my uncle because I just don't do it. I I don't have any need for it. As far as crossbow, my father-in-law has a raven, I think it's called, and it's got like it's got a crank on it to draw it back, and then it's got a pictini rail on top, he's got a red dot on it, and that thing is it's like shooting a rifle.

SPEAKER_04: 2:07:37

Yeah, it's amazing. I've I've only ever shot one muzzle loader, and it's the one I bought last year, and I forget, I think it's the the traditions, I forget what it's called, but it's they use uh you still, of course, you know, muzzle load the the actual projectile, the round, but it has a like a cartridge that you open the breach and put the actual cartridge and primer in the breach, but it's still technically a muzzle loader. So, what's nice is you know, if at the end of the day hunting you don't shoot anything, instead of firing the gun, right, to unload it, because what else are you gonna do? You can pull open the breach and pull out, you know, pull out the the powder basically, the little cartridge of powder, yeah, and uh just leave the projectile in there until the next time you use it.

SPEAKER_00: 2:08:29

Yeah, my dad's muzzle loader had the uh cap that went on the hammer, yeah. So then, like if you have to go somewhere and you accidentally turn the rifle over and the cap falls off, you know, that's not fun.

SPEAKER_04: 2:08:40

Muzzle loaders are kind of fun, they can be fun. It's a it's a little delayed, and then instead of your normal gunshot, it's like a whoop, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 2:08:52

And the whole only reason my dad muzzle loaded because he could hunt like a week earlier. Okay, that's the only reason. Because in Kentucky, like muzzle loading season was always a week earlier than the bow and gun. But then once he started having boys and they started having the youth hunt that was even earlier than that, like I'm out there at like six, like looking around, I'm not and it's just him hunting. Yeah, it just happened to be the excuse and why he's able to go out and hunt that day.

SPEAKER_04: 2:09:16

In Minnesota, we get three weekends of rifle, right? Rifle and shotgun. And then the remainder of the weekends, which I think is like probably four weekends, up until the end of the year, is muzzle loader only. So that's why a lot of people here. Yeah, I can see that.

SPEAKER_00: 2:09:38

Yeah, that'd be fun.

SPEAKER_04: 2:09:40

Yeah, yeah, exactly, Paul. Muzzle loaders because it's black powder, you gotta clean them where they rust.

SPEAKER_00: 2:09:46

Yeah. Yep.

SPEAKER_04: 2:09:50

Favorite calibers.

SPEAKER_00: 2:09:52

All of them. There's no such thing as a bad caliber. They're all fun to shoot.

SPEAKER_04: 2:09:58

I mean, I carry nine millimeter.

SPEAKER_00: 2:10:01

Yeah, I carry nine. I shoot mostly five, five, six, and twenty-two. Nine. I've got you know, I've got 300 blackout mostly in subs. I have to look what Alabama's is. I think Alabama's is like two or three doe and one.

SPEAKER_04: 2:10:18

We get one one deer with antlers. That's about it. Well, I've never seen a diet. It doesn't have to be male. There are there are does can grow antlers.

SPEAKER_00: 2:10:32

I've never seen a doe with antlers. Are they usually spotted with like the yeti and the wendigo?

SPEAKER_04: 2:10:42

No, no, they prefer the jack-alopes.

SPEAKER_00: 2:10:45

The jackalopes. What backpack gun for what, Joe? Like to carry to work? Or like backpacking. Or like backpacking or like elk hunting? Or like what are we talking about here? Need you to be specific.

SPEAKER_04: 2:11:04

I do I do have that flux legion as like a backpack gun for like work or something like that. Yeah. Otherwise, my oh, I have the um the kuna.

SPEAKER_00: 2:11:17

Springfield kuna too. And have you seen have you seen they've made an AR lower to it and you can put an FRT in? An a Kuna? Yeah. Hold on, gotta do some Googling. Put a suppressor on that thing, man. Be fun. That that that's that's probably the next gun I'm gonna buy is a kuna. Because they they make the AR uh lower adapter to it. I wanna have to check that out. I did not know that. I saw a I'm trying to remember who the video I saw on it. The guy who was showing it off. I would I would clean your handgun. If it's a carry handgun, I would clean it after every time you shoot it. Because you don't want a now, you don't have to, especially if it's like a Glock, it's gonna fire fine, right? But you don't want to have that one time where carbon gets in the wrong place and you need to shoot it to save your life, and you didn't clean it. So I would just to be safe, clean it every time you shoot it if it's your carry. If it's not your carry, you might as well clean it anyway because you're not gonna shoot it for a while and you don't want that carbon staying there and cause any issues. But do I clean mine every time I shoot? No, I don't. But I should. I just don't.

SPEAKER_04: 2:12:27

I mean, it depends on the gun, you know. My 1911s, you you have to clean them and keep a loot or they just won't shoot. But your polymer striker-fired guns for the most part, yeah, you can go a couple thousand rounds usually.

SPEAKER_00: 2:12:40

Yeah. Keep them now. If you have a SIG, any type of like 226 or 229, as long as you keep that thing wet, it'll be fine. Yeah. Just keep oil in it. Hops, number nine, whatever it is you use. And you don't really have to clean it, just keep it oiled, lubricated. Clean my clock every Christmas. What else we got? Anybody else got anything before we get off here? Show that amazing outro video again. No? Okay. I guess I'll call it. I'll get I gotta get some sleep. No, we're done. We're done. We're not answering more questions.

SPEAKER_04: 2:13:28

What are your favorite royal grub date? Well, okay, Thanksgiving side dish. You don't want to talk about that?

SPEAKER_00: 2:13:33

No, we'll we'll save it for Monday.

SPEAKER_04: 2:13:35

That's a good idea. We'll talk about Thanksgiving on Monday.

SPEAKER_00: 2:13:37

Yeah, we'll talk about Monday. Because it's only two weeks out from then.

SPEAKER_04: 2:13:43

You're like, I got the days counting down, man. I'm ready, man.

SPEAKER_00: 2:13:47

It's my favorite holiday.

SPEAKER_04: 2:13:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_00: 2:13:49

All right, guys. We'll see y'all on Monday.
