The One Medical Item Every House Needs (But Doesn't Have)

The supply chain doesn’t have to fully collapse for medical care to get hard. All it takes is empty shelves, a delayed appointment, or a sick kid at 2 a.m. So we sat down with Chris, our go-to medical brain, to talk through what we actually keep on hand and how to think clearly when you don’t have instant access to a doctor. We start with the unsexy foundation of home medical preparedness: OTC medicines that handle most day-to-day problems like fever, pain, nausea, allergies, and basic stomach issues.

From there we get into the “why” behind the basics. We compare acetaminophen and ibuprofen, talk about fevers in kids, and share real-world uses for Benadryl that a lot of people overlook. Then we connect the dots on supplements and inflammation: vitamin D, vitamin C, magnesium, zinc, and melatonin, including why sleep and stress management keep showing up in every health conversation. We also get candid about testosterone, cortisol, and how chronic sleep loss can wreck your baseline.

We close with practical prep topics: simple wound care, why honey still matters, what to know about antibiotics and convenience kits, and a quick SHTF look at respiratory issues like asthma. Along the way we touch on building stronger local networks so you’re not trying to solve everything alone. If you’re building a home medical kit, a get-home bag, or just want a clearer plan, this one is for you. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s building a kit, and leave a review with the one item you think every household is missing.

Supply Shortages And Planning Ahead

SPEAKER_00 0:43

Y'all welcome back, Chris. We had Chris early on in the year last year, like one of our first shows we did last year. He did our when we did our IFAC show with him. If y'all haven't watched that, go back and watch it. It's a good one. And we brought him on tonight. Tonight, the purpose is I want I've got some stuff I want to ask him. It's a little selfish, but we're mostly gonna go over medical. And for y'all that may have not watched the last show, Chris has retired from emergency medicine. He's he's got a much bigger scope than I did when I was in Georgia. And so he's he's basically our resident, I don't want to call him doctor, but he's our resident witch doctor. And in the telegram chat, everybody who has a medical question goes to him. I actually I recently reached out to him about TRT and some things. So he's always willing to answer any questions. So we're gonna open up for questions for y'all here in a little bit, but what I wanted to go over tonight is what should we have on hand with the with what's going on in the world if we cannot get access to a doctor or we need access to some type of way to handle some of the most common things that we can take care of ourselves outside of surgeries and such, right? Um, and that's where I want to go off on that tangent, you know, where we go from here. So just kind of do a quick parlay into this topic. I have a few friends who are in different industries in the United States, and the one common complaint they all have right now is they can't get supply. They can't get, whether it be my firearms guys who own ammunition companies, they cannot get copper, they can't get a lot of the components they need for gunpowder, it's hard for them to get brass, there's just nothing out there. Same thing with medical equipment. You all know I brought this up before with bear independent and refuge medical, the government's buying everything up. And so they can't find anything. So with that idea, if in the event eventually that we may have to be our own doctor in a way in some things, where do we start? Like, where do we go from there? Like we have we have the IFAC and we take care of bullet holes and little bleeds, but like what happens if I get dysentery? Right? What happens if you know I get like a flu that just won't go away? Like, you know, what do we do? If I get some type of infection, like what kind of antibiotics do I use? Can I take fish antibiotics? You know, things like that, right? So that's kind of what the route I wanted to go tonight for y'all to have a basis of knowledge. And I'm sure Chris has a lot of resources he can at least point us in the direction of. But we'll go from there. So, Chris, thanks for coming tonight. Absolutely, thanks for inviting me. We've had a couple of people say this. I've never seen Rob look this good before. Well, he's much better looking than I am. If I don't know, Rob is he's dealing with you know traveling, the funeral, and uh the kids being sick, and he just he needs some time off. So y'all pray for Rob, but we're gonna make do tonight. So I'll have to be me and Rob tonight. So I'm gonna have to like make fun of myself because Rob's not here. I'm sure Chris will chip in too. He's uh he's gonna make fun of me, man. We know how to make fun of each other. I tell people all the time, yelling is my love language. So don't get mad. I do not get upset if you yell at me. But Chris, so where do you think we should start? Like what would be what would be the starting point, point A, in the event of getting started?

SPEAKER_06 4:28

Well I guess if we can start with medicines, right? Like that's what most people try to consider, like when we have kids, right? You have all these different like sniffles every once in a while, you'll have diarrhea, you'll have those kind of things. I people always mess with me when I was like, Oh, you just need Tylenol, Benadryl, and and ibuprofen. And and the reason why I send those is that but yeah, there are better options, like there are better prescription medicines, but a lot of these medicines still work that way over the counter. Does that make sense?

SPEAKER_00 5:02

So let me let me kind of dive in a little bit there. We've we're pre talking about kids specifically. Kids get fevers all the time for no reason, right? My and Tylenol doesn't touch any of them, doesn't do anything. The only thing that helps keep their temperature down is motrin, right? Which doesn't make any sense because motrin's not antipyretic like Tylenol is. So I mean, yeah, not this it doesn't have a different uh mechanism action, right?

SPEAKER_06 5:30

So so like you kind of go into big words, this pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of these medicines are just basically chemicals working on inside your body, right? So I mean, and again, like there's certain certain people that certain meds work better. Chances are the Tylenol isn't working, you aren't giving enough. So the way like technically they've set it up where you a kid could basically take a whole bottle of children's Tylenol and probably not overdose. So they don't tell people like the max dosing on things, which is probably a good good thing.

SPEAKER_00 6:10

We're playing to the lowest common anonymous here, right? Because you have somebody who's gonna chug a bottle of Tylenol.

SPEAKER_06 6:16

Yeah, oh I should ask Taffy for like a some sort of like we're not doctors, we're not gonna don't sue us.

SPEAKER_00 6:25

This is not medical advice.

SPEAKER_03 6:28

We're just discussing works for us.

SPEAKER_06 6:30

Yeah. Things that that that I I have experience with with my children, also with my patients, and just things I've studied over there. I've always been, I mean, like we talked last time, I've always been kind of like I guess they call them survivalist, but not it's just it was just like I always figured what should I do when the lights go out, right? Like, I mean, you're you're a little younger than me, but dude, growing up in the 80s and 90s, man, like you literally thought the missile was coming, right? Like you always had this, like it's kind of hard to I mean Anthony talks about it sometimes, like he that's just how it was, right? Like nuclear drills we used to do? Oh yeah. Oh, dude, so that's a one okay, here we go. That's the first thing every family has to get is get a a classroom desk from every single for every single family member, because that will protect you from earthquakes, nuclear blasts, and and and like shooters, right? Like, I mean that's every school teacher taught us that in the beginning. Like, that's the most indestructible thing in the world, right? So uh teasing uh sort of but I what I would keep as as as a parent, right? Like I would keep a stock again of motrin, I be ibuprofen, generic, whatever, Tylenol, acetaminophen, and and the benadryl. I'd keep uh a stock of femodidine, which is pepsid, because that's uh they call it like it's a H2 blocker, histamine two blocker, which affects the histamine receptors in your stomach. So it can be helped for allergies, such like that, you know. It can also help with you know, a lot of GI issues. The good the thing about the difference between Tylenol idenprofen. So like pretty much every disease is an inflammatory response, right? Your body's trying to go towards a certain situation and and you're getting an overreaction from from that, right? So a lot of time, like that's like when we did when we give like pain medicine, there was a huge study, you know, over about I think it was over a decade or more, like and they proved it multiple studies. Um I actually did it in Austin where I was working. And they had people have wisdom teeth pulled. And they had a group of that someone had one one group had like hydrocodonic vicotin, hydrocodone, uh, and tylenol, you know, oxygenes with Tylenol, all all the big the dilauded, the fentanyls, all that stuff. And they all had to have they call it rescue dosing within two hours, right? Like the the pain was they needed to get the dosed. The own the obviously the placebo people had nothing, that sucks. But the the ones that had the longest pain relief, and it was up to six hours, were the people that took Tylenol and Propin together. Okay. Because because Tylenol isn't it, it has again it has it's a chemical, has different pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, right? Like so it it works in multiple, it does differ multiple things, right? So it's a true analgesic where it actually goes and blocks pain receptors, right? So it it acts that's why it's it's mixed with the opioids, because the opioids just make you not care about the pain, right? It doesn't really take away the pain. Like people say, oh, it does. Well, no, it really I mean you you still know it's there, right? But the tylenol takes care of the pain, so it it'll affect that. But the way it works with like with your fever is is it it slows your metabolism down, and there's benefits to that because it it you know it drops your temperature. You can use it for it just making your children comfortable. Yeah. I remember talking to our doctor, like, you know, just having them comfortable so they can sleep, because that's when your immune system works, right? It's when you sleep. If you can't sleep, you're not your immune system's not gonna have a time to start over because your immune system is extraordinarily strong. Like people don't understand, like I won't get into the rack stuff, but it your body is built to fight off these things, right? It it tends to be like when you start getting things like remember they made us get the uh what was that, the meningitis shot in the Marine Corps?

SPEAKER_03 10:35

Yeah.

Kids, Fevers, And When To Treat

SPEAKER_06 10:35

So like they gave us that and then they started requiring uh college students, and we found it's because like you would normally never get that, actually. Most people will never get that. But military people and college kids were getting it because, well, their immune systems were destroyed because they were going like through two finals week, they weren't sleeping, they're taking atties, you know, staying up longer than that, you know. And so their immune system never got a chance to to fight it off. And so it allowed your body to get so depleted that it allowed the the virus to cross the membrane, right? That would normally not be done. So so they had to skip it to that. I'm I don't know if it worked, whatever.

SPEAKER_00 11:14

So let's uh let me pause you for real quick. So growing up, we always heard the wives' tale like feed a fever, starve a cold.

SPEAKER_02 11:22

Right.

SPEAKER_00 11:23

So with your you're talking about, you know, with with you know Tylenol or whatever, you're taking it and it slows down your metabolism. Wouldn't that counteract that wives' tale? Because you want because the fever as we do it in our house, unless they get above 103, really well, really 102. I'm not giving anything, right? Because you want the fever to help burn it down, but once they cross that threshold, then they're uncomfortable, they're not sleeping, like you said. Because that's my kids, and you know this being as a paramedic, and I saw it all the time as well. Kids will compensate, and you will not know anything's wrong until they're almost dead, right?

SPEAKER_06 11:58

Like their body dumps everything, like a lithium battery, right? Like, so they dump all their energy until there's nothing else, and then yeah, and that's where like kids is like you you want to get let them have like a decent fever because it the fever is there because it is temperature, like viruses and bacteria, they they're affected by pH balance and and and temperature, right? Like those can kill them, like little little changes of that can. The thing is, is that if if a fever jumps too fast, then you get a fibrillal seizure, right? So and then and then they're prone to that for till usually about five or six years old. But it can cause some it's kind of like the whole when you had we had guys that were uh heat heat casualties when we were in the military, and then you know it was always susceptible to that. Like that's just a thing, like your body bullet. Right, it's a trigger, right? Like it's a tri your body starts saying, Oh, this happened, and so I'm compensating. So now it now it's that's just it's this new thing as it goes along. I I tend to start, I tend to see in my case, I I I usually will still I will not chase a fever, I will probably knock it out because if they do uh because of that super fast hit for the kids, right? And if they're not uncomfortable, they're gonna be moving around fussy. And if a kid starts to shiver or f you if you shiver, you can you can increase your body temperature like within seconds, like it's it's it's not good, right? So but keeping that keeping that down, having them but by slowing the metabolism down, what it also does is it it it it also just slows metabolism up for the bacterium stuff too, right? Like so there's a benefit to that too. On a side side tangent, I use it a lot, and I tell people that I use it for for sleep because your body has to get to a certain body temperature for you to sleep, and it really helps that. So, like if you have like a trouble sleeping at night, having that with some magnesium, some other stuff is really beneficial. So, so that that gets that's when it gets to the fever. The way ibuprofen works, it's called you know, uh an in said a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory inflammatory medicine. So, but it's it's non-steroidal, but it works extraordinarily similar to steroids, right? So that's gonna be be getting coming at it from a different angle to decrease to decrease your butt, your your your uh fever or pain or whatnot. Like, like if you have an injury, you want something to block that pain receptor, but you also want something, maybe that's pain's caused because of the swelling going on, what whatever's going on. So you want to take the anti-inflammatory with that. Excuse me. It's also extremely good for allergies because it helps suppress the cytokine and chemokine, the the nasal congestion and all that other kind of stuff.

SPEAKER_00 14:51

So would that be used in conjunction with like an antihistamine of some sort?

SPEAKER_06 14:55

Yeah, or not, even not. Like there's times I just take ibuprofen itself without taking like an antihistamine of any kind. So and again, like with the benadryl, like you are gonna have drowsiness. There are some other side, but it's a it's it's called a global antihistamine, right? Like it's hitting like so many things, but benadryl can also like it, it'll just we we we used to give it all the time the ambulance to suppress nausea, it's a very good anti-nausea. I mean, if you have any kind of stomach or gastric pain, or even like rectal pain, rectal spasm, you like hemorrhoids and stuff. You take a 25 milligrams of benadryl, it'll be gone in 20, 30 minutes because it's stopped because of the acetylcholine, the way it works on it, it it'll stop the spasming.

SPEAKER_00 15:39

Are you giving it IV 25 milligrams? Because everything I 200. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, you can take it orally, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I mean it's well, because you know, because IV is gonna get in your system faster. Right, right. It's it's got better what do they call it? Bioavailability. Right, yeah. I'm remembering all my I love it, man. All my paramedics. Um so you know, you're talking about 20. I mean, because you're looking at four times that five eight times that. Sorry, it's Monday, I don't matter well. Uh uh on it, so you're taking eight times that and just one 200 milligram tablet of motion, nibroprofen, whatever you're taking. What bro, come on. You and I had ranger range of I take 800. I don't like I start with four.

SPEAKER_06 16:24

I start with four all the time. I guess especially I'm doing Tylenol, I'll do I'll do uh three, which is six hundred, and um, and two Tylenol extra strength. But dude, there's days like you just need that 400. I mean, that's and that's max prescription strength, anyways. So then as long as you don't go over two grams on either of those within 24 hours, you're not gonna hurt your liver and your kidney and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_00 16:48

So someone asked, can you explain the difference between Tyler and Mulch? We we did that a little bit. So most exact same thing.

SPEAKER_06 16:55

Okay, what about a leave? A leave's different. So a leave is another NSAID, litstinoproxin is the is the uh and it's very good. There's been studies that show like men have a better a leave works a little bit better for them to like back pains and stuff like that than wet for women, and then motion works a lot better. But honestly, to me, I haven't really noticed a difference. The thing with the I mean there's something cathartic, but being able to take because you can take if you take them on a leave, you've got I mean, it's it's on your you get tend to take another dose for 12 hours, you know. Like and you know, like when that breakthrough pain comes through or something, like you just you just need it's just nice to even like have the catharticness of being able to. So that's why I also take if I take three Motrin or Advil or whatever, if you have that breakthrough pain, you can take pop another one, right? Like so, yeah, or just a single 200. Yeah, and again, like everybody, we're talking max doses here. Like, try to stay at the bottom dose if you have to, because it you know, you shouldn't have to go up higher than that for most things.

SPEAKER_00 17:56

We're just old and things hurt every day, and so especially being here in Alabama. Like, I get sinus headaches a lot when there's a vast change in the in the weather. Like we went from 80 degrees yesterday to we're at 34 right now. We got we had tornadoes come through last night and now we had snow this afternoon or this morning, right? Yeah, and that usually wreaks havoc among sinuses. Oh, 100%. Cold plants both different uh polls. Yeah, Motron is the only thing that touches it. Now I'll take four and I'll be done. I'm good for the day. It doesn't come back unless I have a caffeine headache, then I just gotta start chugging some. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean that's me too. But uh, you know, so just kind of but you're gonna sign up for that if you want to know about that.

SPEAKER_06 18:39

If you take what is the what's the what's the the menstrual pain? Midol, mydol. So mydol is actually ad ibuprofen, or it depends on what you gotta look at the bottles. Some of them are ibuprofen, some of them are Tylenol, but it adds caffeine to it.

SPEAKER_00 18:57

So if you have a caffeine headache, I take BC powder sometimes too. Oh no, my yeah, my mother-in-law loves B C powder. Oh, my wife, yeah, she does all the time. She'll give it to me. Like I had a headache last week and she was at the house. Yeah, I took it. I just take it dry. I'm like, boom, I shoot it, right? And I just swallow it. And she looks at me with in horror. She's like, What are you doing? You're supposed to mix it with something like too slow. Yeah, yeah. It's like taking dry pre-workout, you know, just taking those food. Oh, I do that.

SPEAKER_06 19:25

That's how I take my creatine each morning. I'll just dry it and then drink it something, take a coffee and a monster or something.

SPEAKER_00 19:31

Yep. Yeah. So far, Motrin and Tylenol, right? Liquid or solid, right? Because if you have if you have pill, right, and you need and your kids won't eat it, you can crush it up and put it in something.

SPEAKER_06 19:43

Yeah, well, real quick, FYI, like, so if you're gonna take anything orally, you have to get it's gonna take 20 to 30 minutes for it to metabolize into your system to start working, right? So just be aware of that. That's one thing I forgot that like when you're saying about taking the pill, I often tell people, like in their Teotowaki bag, you know, like to get the liquid motor. It's the same dosing, like it'll still get 20, but but if you do it, then like you can't swallow like you're vomiting or something, you can set it into your gums or just under your tongue, and it'll absorb.

SPEAKER_00 20:15

Well, couldn't you just crush up the pills and do the same thing?

SPEAKER_06 20:18

Yeah, technically you could. Because I would I would worry about my bag.

SPEAKER_00 20:22

I wouldn't worry about my bag having something liquid that gets crushed.

SPEAKER_06 20:25

Yeah, yeah. I mean, right. I mean, you gotta just you gotta be wary of that.

SPEAKER_00 20:29

But yeah, I mean but if you put it in like a hard pelican, you know, you're fine.

Benadryl Uses Most People Miss

SPEAKER_06 20:33

Right, yeah. Yeah, but those are bulky and heavy put in your bag and stuff, but yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so like so definitely have those three. Did you want to win do you want to talk about like like supplements and stuff that are beneficial? Or we can go over everything. Another thing that's really good, like if you have pain or any kind of inflammatory, the the body's strongest anti-inflammatory is melatonin. And there's been there's been a bunch of studies. So they used to think that it was just being uh produced in the mitochondria in your cells. Or no, no, they used to think it was just being produced in in your uh pituitary, and now they're finding it's produced in all your mitochondria. So there's been a one study, I can't remember, I can't remember if they started the other one, but I was I was listening to two docs about it, and he was he was a uh what do you call a kinesiologist or you know, so he he was like ER doc and then he started doing like he did a lot of sports medicine stuff. Um but he had gotten in like a motorcycle accident or some sort of car accident, had you know intractable back pain and did the whole oxy oxy run, you know, like how he'll get addicted. And he started he found out about this melatonin and he said to work up to it, but he got up to be taking 60 milligrams of melatonin a day. And he went from not having any pain medicine and being even with the oxies, he could barely walk. But he started doing the melatonin. And he's like, I walk around, it's like I had never had a back pain before.

SPEAKER_00 22:03

Hmm. And so And melatonin's gonna be easier on your digestive system, I'd assume. I'm sorry. And melatonin's gonna be easier on your digestive tract or stuff.

SPEAKER_03 22:13

Well yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 22:14

I mean it's it's it's not it's I mean it's not bad at all. I mean, again, like none of these are golden BBs, right? Like everything is gonna have some some other counteraction. Like there's but your body will get used to the a lot of these things. There was actually one doc that was there that was talking, he takes like ridiculous, like over a hundred or two hundred milligrams a day. Because there's there's show there's uh there's some early showings, and again, you gotta look at studies, you gotta learn how to read studies. Like, if it ever says may do this, like they haven't proven anything, right? Like, yeah, you just be so like okay, whatever. It's just like just like the pot, right? Or I'm excuse me, sorry everybody and cannabis gummies, but I mean it every study goes, it may do this. Well it's like okay, you haven't proven anything though, right? So, but but yeah, melaton's a definitely a good one to have. Also, the huge one is uh magnesium. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:06

And that's that's huge for headaches. Your advice you gave in the telegram was start taking 800 milligrams.

SPEAKER_06 23:13

Oh, a minimum minimum. Like, so like when I have someone in like severe respiratory distress, I'd give two grams IV of mag sulfate. I mean, and it's it's amazing. No, it's amazing. It's like it's like it'll stop torsol. Huh? It'll stop torsades. It'll stop torsods, so will lidocaine. But so yeah, but that that's usually what the protocols say. And mag's great. But mag does a lot of things. It actually it'll calm you, helps with sleep, um, helps with anxiety. It's actually a bronco, a bronchodilator, so it's but like we give it for asthmatics. Yeah, so that's a really good thing. I I remember like one of the guys had asked a question about respiratory, and I I put a whole thing together. We can talk about that later, but for things that you won't be able to have. But but yeah, magnesium is definitely a good thing to have. Let me think. Oh, your vitamin C, man, like so basically we're we're all walking around in with scurvy, man. Like, people don't realize, like, like if your gums bleed at all, you probably have scurvy, right? And people don't realize that no literally, like that's that's what they're doing.

SPEAKER_00 24:21

It's not because I'm really, really diligent in brushing my teeth.

SPEAKER_06 24:23

It's not I mean, well, that could be a two, right? But I know I'm not that bad, that good. So but but they they found like so I I don't know if you remember, like I used I I got asked to help out with a bunch of stuff with um the Americans frontline doctors, and so I learned a ton of stuff from those docs and everything. And it was like so, like again, like the pepsid, like in that protocol was like pepsid and all kinds of things, but vitamin C, like they used to say, oh, you can only have what was it, like 500 milligrams a day, otherwise you get kidney stones, which a bunch of coarse crap. But um, but they're finding out like so, like, so we're one of the one we're one of the creatures on the planet that don't produce our own vitamin C, right? And it but but animals that do produce their own vitamin C, which is the majority of them, when they get sick, they're producing like tens of thousands milligrams of vitamin C in their body. Yeah. And so like we'll take like even when I have especially with allergies, when I have allergy season, I'll pop, I'll pop two to three thousand milligrams or four thousand milligrams, and it it it works great. And like for a lot of things, that's definitely a plus.

SPEAKER_00 25:31

But that was in the marines. I used to take those uh vitamin C packets, you know. Yeah, uh yeah, the the Vitami C or whatever, whatever. Whatever it was, you know, yeah, uh and then maybe it's a placebo effect, I don't know, but it seemed to help.

SPEAKER_05 25:43

No, there's because there's other stuff in there too, right? I mean, yeah. So yeah, my mom used to take that stuff all the time.

SPEAKER_00 25:50

So just kind of go over like my daily vitamin regimen, right? Because I know growing my own food and everything, I know a lot of our vegetables and such, there's a magnesium deficit, right? There's a zinc deficit. So I take magnesium zinc. I think I take 800 milligrams of magnesium for your advice, which has helped with my sleep like amazingly. I take 50 grams of zinc, and then I'll also take like a multivitamin.

SPEAKER_06 26:16

Well, the zinc, be careful. Make sure it's elemental zinc. Because a lot of them are packaged, it's not it's not a because only the elemental zinc can be absorbed in your body. So a lot of times you'll see like they'll give you, oh, it's 50 milligrams of zinc, and then you look on a package and go, oh, but it's 10 to 20 milligrams of elemental zinc. So just be careful with that. I mean, I I think I think that it's changed a lot.

SPEAKER_00 26:39

So I think I think like I think I do take a vitamin D. And you know, how much? Five five hundred or five thousand, I mean. No, bro, that's way too low. Way too low. Should I should I what do I need to be taking?

Vitamin D And Flu Survival Logic

SPEAKER_06 26:58

You should be taking at least 10k, man. Like minimum. I got the milky number. I got bubbled up. So should I should I go should I go into my my flu uh lecture I used to give? Let's hear it. Okay, so and this is all gonna lead to vitamin D. So in 1975, there was a big flu epidemic, right? Like, I I you probably don't remember, but that was like the last really big like flu epidemic before the vid, whatever you want to call it. And there was this doc at Atascadero State Hospital in California, which is the largest psych facility in the world, or in the US, sorry. And he noticed that his floor, none of them got the flu, and none of them died from the flu. And so they st they did a retro analysis of his other charts to try to figure out were they taking something different? And the thing was that his floor was predominantly black Americans. And the thing is with with with melatonin deficit or uh melanin deficit peoples, they don't produce vitamin D as well. So they're always used on supplements. Same with infants and elderly people. They usually have to have vitamin D supplementation. That's why you if unless you're uh when you're breastfeeding, you need to F supplement vitamin D usually. So they started looking into it. He started his so he did uh his own study, tried to do a startup study, no one would listen to him to do it. So he's he did his own study in his office, right? And they started with 2,000 milligrams or uh 2,000 micrograms. And that year nobody called in sick, right? And so he was like, What's the deal here? So he started researching more. He looked into a bunch of stuff. I mean, one of the biggest ones was from Russia. I mean, if you could believe what the Soviet Union did, but they started noticing like like their school children and all of them were getting sick. I mean, obviously in Russia they're they're you know, they're gonna be vitamin uh sunlight deficit just because of where they're at, right? So they started remaining demanding uh they started putting them on vitamin D and also um doing UV therapy, right? Which produces your vitamin D. They literally cut their sick their sick from factory workers and school children by two-thirds in a year. Then they started like, well, if you look at there's almost they're like except until you start like having people visit or whatever, there's almost no flu in like Scandinavian countries and also like you know, Inuit, Eskimo, whatever you want to call um those and they're like, well, this isn't like since they're covered up all the time. But their primary diet is fish, which is omega-3 fatty acids, which is high in vitamin D, which is I mean, again, these are all correlations, right? Like you can't, I mean that we've had a ton we've had a bunch more studies since this, right? Obviously, we figured this out, especially since the vid, right? So the thing is what killed you with the flu and what killed you with the vid was your body's inflammatory system, right? It's it's blowing it you're having the mast cells come out, you're on it, and it's blowing out these things that kill things, and it's called cytokines and chemokines, but basically your nut your your your saliva, your your nose drainage, that those are cytokines and chemokines, and that's what fills up into your lungs, right? Well, the body's mechanism to stop that overproduction of those is vitamin D. Okay. So if you look at every single person that died in the vid, every one of them were massively vitamin D deficient. So another thing he went back is he went like, let's look at the Spanish flu, right? So in America, when the Spanish flu started making its problem, people were dying like crazy, like everywhere else. But the hospitals were always overflow flowed, right? So they started putting people out in these canvas tents out in this these fields, right? Well, like if you look at old cowboy movies, oh like pioneer movies, they had what what's the canvas? It's this thin c white material, right? And and if anyone's been out skiing with a white t-shirt on, you know, like we won't I was gone skiing with t-shirts and shorts before you you'll get sunburn, right? You can still get you can still get UV radiation, right? Yeah. They found out that there was if you if the patients were outside in these tents, they had over an 80% survival rate from the Spanish flu. When they went inside the hospital, it was almost an inverse of that of that ratio. So again, it's a correlation, non-cause it could have been other factors too, right? But again, like vitamin D again, it's it's not a golden BB, but it's if you're if you have enough vitamin D levels and you you're you're not gonna die from the flu, right? Like it's you're not gonna get those overplayed, you're not gonna because you die from the flu from pneumonia, right? But it's basically pneumonia, fluids in your lungs. Yeah, and and they start clapping, especially like the vid, it was um it was cytokine chemicon, it was ARDS or whatever they would change the name to it now. So now they're finding out like even like like like now I'm taking 30, I'm taking I'm taking 15,000 in the morning, 15,000 at night, and they're saying like 30,000 micrograms, like almost completely just gets rid of inflammation. So I've seen a slight difference, but I'm taking a lot of other different supplements too. But yeah, I mean just just things to like think about. Like your kids, like like we started, we give our kids our kids don't ever get sick anyways, I mean they're outside all the time, but during the winter time, because like and I I really started researching this when my second daughter was she had a really bad respiratory issue, and they started putting on steroids and everything, and then we just increased her vitamin D and it just kind of went away. I don't know if it grew out of it. I mean, it could be she grew out of it, but correlated with with that, you know, does that make sense?

Allergies, Local Honey, And Options

SPEAKER_00 32:55

Well, like one thing I'm well, like one thing I'm struggling with right now with my son is he gets like the pollen is crazy, like the pollening is going off right now. Right. And so the it it just he comes, his eyes are red all day. The only thing that we've really been able to do to give him to to help him just get to the tape that looks like he's you know crying all day all day is uh tech or right. Yeah, yeah. I don't want to give him that garbage, right? It's really nothing that works right now, and we can't figure out we've tried we haven't really gone full hog on finding local honey to get him to eat some local honey to try and help you know. Yeah, and that's gonna take time too, right? I mean yeah, you know, in the winter you're not gonna eat as much there in the spring and summer and fall. But we have to have you know 40 acres on the road from us here. And we go over there. If we haven't bushogged it, it's bad, man. He's all on the kids that did that that does that. Um that helps support this because it takes summer and spring miserable for them. Yeah, you know.

SPEAKER_06 34:07

I mean, again, like he's probably still gonna have some issues because of the allergens, but I would I would I would increase his vitamin D and vitamin C and you know like honestly, like I don't know what it is with the South, bro. Like I didn't I didn't get allergies until I came here, you know.

SPEAKER_03 34:24

Yeah, bad, man.

SPEAKER_00 34:25

It's bad as that. Like I don't have to deal, I don't have to deal with like snow that much, and I don't have to deal with like a lot of liberals, but yeah, allergies.

SPEAKER_06 34:35

Oh bro, it's miserable. Like you almost like they're like, what's going on? I can't even move. Like you're like, oh, it's just allergies. Like, and then the cold front will come through and blow them out, and you're like, it was just allergies? Are you kidding me, man?

SPEAKER_00 34:45

Oh yeah, it's bad, yeah. It's it's and then during the summer too, it'd be even worse because you have different plants here in the south that are pollinating until winter.

SPEAKER_06 34:57

Oh yeah, like rag, yeah, yeah. Have you tried giving him any kind of like like ibuprofen or anything like that?

SPEAKER_00 35:05

No, because you know I'm always concerned that like I don't want to tear up his stomach, right? Yeah, no, I guess so I'm not trying to have to give him a whole lot. I'd rather do more natural remedies if I can. That's why we looked at no 100%, yeah. You know, looking at honey and stuff, but I just it just it's it's hard to figure out what what the balance is of if I give them and auto-tune. Do I that sound like Akon? What's going on? I don't know. It's kind of slow and up or whatever. It might be my internet, who knows?

SPEAKER_06 35:44

I'm actually starting to research Sasparella. There's like a ton, there's like a ton of stuff on that. I'll I'll see if I get it, I'll send it to you. There was some stuff about allergies with that too. So I'll see if I can get it. I'm just I just literally started reading about it like a couple weeks ago. So I don't have a lot of conclusions yet. I don't really want to be sure about it. But yeah, like because you have it down, you have the plan. It's all over the it I I was watching thing, like it used to be it used to be worth more than gold and tonnage from the US. It was like one US is one of the US's number one exports to like Europe and stuff. And then I forget what happened I think the SDA put a stop to it because I guess you can it's a it's a very short chemical reaction with us when you break it down to MDMA. So I mean it's pretty easy to do it that way, but because but it it's it's got a ton of other benefits, like it's kind of you know how that stuff is. It's like I don't know, I I feel like everything that has been major breakthroughs in the world has been because of natural remedies, right? Like penicillin. That's a natural thing, right? Like you know, just stuff like that. But I'll look more into it and stuff. And this anti I take I usually take a thousand milligrams at night. Personally, or if I'm having a respiratory problem, I'll at least take a thousand, if not more.

SPEAKER_03 37:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 37:16

Yeah, turn someone's a turmeric and tamarind, the others are really good anti-inflammant, but it's very uh most of the what do you call it? They um the dosages they tell you are just they're not anywhere near what's therapeutic, you know.

SPEAKER_00 37:30

Well, it's they're trying to be safe because if you don't if you don't do that, you're gonna have someone who's gonna eat pounds and pounds of it. You know what? I'm not about I'm not about Darwin, but bro.

SPEAKER_03 37:45

I don't know, yeah.

Natural Remedies And Nicotine Talk

SPEAKER_06 37:52

Negative effects of nicotine. Yeah, the headache you get when you haven't taken it in six hours.

SPEAKER_00 37:57

I've seen multiple studies about nicotine, about it helps with all kinds of maladies, right? Like one is like, well, like the big reason that I did it was it increases testosterone.

unknown 38:09

Right.

SPEAKER_00 38:09

I was in the fire department, man. My testosterone was garbage because I never slept. And that that there's nothing to hurt your testosterone worse than that. Um and then I've seen other studies about where they would soak kids' feet and tobacco water, and it would help with all kinds of inflammation and other issues, and like yeah, those studies were darn done done during COVID.

SPEAKER_06 38:30

Oh, yeah. There was a I mean it it will, it's a vasoconstrictor, so it it will increase your blood pressure. I have buddies that were like they've been doing like chha and like dip since they were like 12 and 13, you know. So they had like idio they call it idiopathic hypertension, and I'm like, no, you know what it is. It's they've been doing dip for so long. But but the problem with that is like the dip, there's all these other chemicals in it, right? It would have been better if they stuck with chaw, because like chwing tobacco is just plain tobacco, right? Like, yeah and and there's there's literally nothing shown. I mean, there you can get like certain cancers possibly, but like smoking a pipe or smoking a cigar, the the worst thing of that is is the the superheated air, but you're not even getting that that much, you know, or the heated air in your inner mouth. But like the problem with like nicotine, like cigarettes with people you don't get is that it's this other stuff they're they're doing, like it they're taking, right? Like they're putting putting in, you know, that's causing a lot of these problems. I mean, it will though like if you do inhale like cigarettes though, or nicotine, it does paralyze the cilia in your in your trachea. So you know, the ones that kind of like get when you get that that cough, they're rhythmically moving up to get all that stuff out of your lungs, so it'll paralyze those. So that's why you get a lot of like smokers get that cough in the morning, you know. Horrible, man. Yeah.

TRT, Sleep, Cortisol, And Recovery

SPEAKER_00 39:57

My dad, growing up, my dad smoked camel non-filters. Oh wow, man, that cough in the morning was rough. Yeah, I worked for the pharmacist that did that. It like just chained, bro. Like it's yeah, the thing I remember with him all the time, he was constantly spitting, like going, oh yeah. Because there's no filter, right? So like it's not nothing's stopping him from getting tobacco in his mouth all the time. Right. Like, I just remember that like it even now, just doing it reminded me of my dad. Uh well, yeah, because like you know, like I smoke an occasional you know, pipe, you know, I don't do it that often anymore. I do it, but it's it's it's more or less because I like the smell and I like the taste, but I can't disregard the the palliative effects of it uh in different aspects, right? Like I was talking to my wife when I started going on started doing TRT. And I just I just started like a week, two two weeks ago, right? What was your dosing? Oh, you can tell me later, but but yeah. But you know, I've on that and like I don't know if it's a placebo effect or what, but like I feel like just after my second dosing, like I I've got all kinds of energy now. I've done way more around the farm you know in the last week because I've been you know crazy. But it it it makes me think, you know, I'm not trying to be a conspiracy theorist, but at this point we're just you know, spoilers. You know, the the what is the cost for everyone's testosterone being low? Is it the food only? Is it that we're so sedentary? Is it that we're not sleeping well? Is it because our food doesn't have the nutrients in it and vitamins that we need to sleep well? So that's why it's keeping our testosterone low. Like and so then there was this. I remember when I first started looking at taking it, right? Yeah, when I was first looking at start taking TRT 10 years ago, the big boogeyman about it was well, it's gonna, you know, it's gonna weaken your heart and cause you to have heart conditions and other uh but just showing the proof completely opposite.

SPEAKER_06 41:51

It's carbon. All these studies I've seen since then are carbon.

SPEAKER_00 41:54

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 41:54

It's like it's your heart. And actually, you kind of can correlate it with like, so women like they start having really bad, they start having heart attacks around menopause, right? Well, that's also when their testosterone drops.

SPEAKER_03 42:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 42:08

You know, you're kind of like, and so now they're starting to find they're starting to give women the testosterone with the progesterone because and then they're and then the whole like they used to give estrogen with testosterone testosterone, but then finding out that estrogen regulates per the testosterone level. So it's not like unless you're taking like unless you're like a like a gym bro taking like massive quantities along with some other stuff, you're not gonna get the the the the mass diet, you know, the mastitis, you're not gonna get the you know, all that other stuff. It's because the estrogen is gonna set change it's gonna regulate itself, you know. And so it's yeah, there's just but the big thing with testosterone is is it's the sleep, like you said, sleep. It could be because I mean the other I mean I mean I can't say I mean I I I work like ridiculous, but it it's a corollary effect, right? So like if you don't sleep, you have an incre you don't you ever you have an increased level of cortisol, right? Which is your stress hormone, right? And you you need cortisol, right, for a lot of different things, but if that's too high, it stops your pituitary from making or from making testosterone. And if your testosterone is too low, your thyroid stops producing, right? So you're not gonna have the metabolism. So you're gonna be like it's just like it's like it's it's like well, what's holy cow, man, like yeah, it's just like we've been this like trance, you know, like but like so. Yeah, so the biggest thing, like I I I take I don't take I usually do like a week on, a week off, and maybe two weeks on to like ashrogonda. There's some other one or L Pheanine, because those are actually cortisol blockers. So if your testosterone is good, like having the cortisol blocked it it will help that a lot too.

SPEAKER_00 43:48

But yeah, there's like sleep medication test and the biggest thing I've noticed is because I've got back injury from the Marine Corps, and my back hasn't hurt as bad since I've been taking it. And I don't know if that

SPEAKER_06 44:00

Maybe that's just the place effect of it, but so I've been trying to do I've been trying to find my a good dosing. Like they they start like normal y you really you really should go to like a specialist, but they all cost so darn much, man. Like but 'cause and the regular docs like are still so like on the old school like tables and stuff and which are are BS and so like like give me something 200 million like it an injection of a testosterone, it's only good for three to five days. It's half-life is three to five days. So you're gonna need to redose, you know, and like like so like I've been trying to test, like, and so when I need I know I need it, like I'm either extremely exhausted or all my joints hurt. I'm just like muscles are sore, right? And then once you get a little bit, you know, and and again, like I'm mine's kind of like if I go between like if I do like every three days do like 50 to 60 milligrams, that seems to be a good where you're not like just totally getting just blasted and then like having like but you still have plenty of energy, your your focus, brain, brain work is working good.

SPEAKER_00 45:04

So well, and the thing I think a lot of guys need to understand, especially when it comes to testosterone, is there's a difference between a full hundred testosterone and like a 170, right? 400, you can you can do some things, you can you know exercise more. It's literally baseline, right? You can do something to get it back up, but if you're like below 200, you're broken. Oh yeah, you're not coming back up.

SPEAKER_06 45:31

So that's what was really like I knew like 12 or 13 years ago, like my doctor wanted me on test because he he he was one of the few people I've ever seen take check cortisol levels.

SPEAKER_03 45:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 45:44

And like if they ever tested cortisol levels on military, police fire EMS, like there'd be lawsuits up there. You know, it's like so like yeah, so I mean that that's another big thing of why people like get heart attacks and stuff when they're like why that there's such a high rate of heart attacks and other stuff with uh public safety and military like uh like in their 60s, like it's because their cortisol's been going so long, you know. So but yeah, get along with your testosterone, you need to also start blocking your and I I think I I'll send you some stuff. I've been fine, uh there's another couple of supplements that will really help. It'll actually uh because like if you take too much like when you're hitting yourself with that 200, your body's yeah, you're gonna get a free test a really high free test reading, but that's not I mean you're not using all that, and a lot of that's gonna convert into estrogen. So there's medicine, like there's things like boron, there's uh DIMS, it's really one name. I can't pronounce it all the way right now. It's a look at a bottle. That actually stops that. It actually keeps your testosterone to be being utilized better. So like I've been taking that supplement, it's been like really like a game change. Like, I hate that. Yeah, but you know, like it's I I it was amazing within two days. I noticed like, okay, I'm my my my my smaller injections and everything were lasting longer, and yeah, I was more even, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 47:07

So I I've noticed in the chat a lot of guys were saying, you know, things like you know, you well, you could just eat better or you go on carnivore. You can, right? Diet definitely helps absolutely with producing testosterone, eat more eggs, whatever, but the problem is a lot of people don't have access to good quality food. I do I grow my own food, right? I grow all my own chickens, my own pork, my my cows, I milk my cows and all that. I have access to that stuff. And it still hasn't helped. I eat probably 80% organic. Like I eat probably 20% non-organic because I still have to entertain clients and still have to eat sometimes, right? And I can't do 100% organic because I would be like having a horrible stomach issue every time I had to go out to eat with a client, right? Um, but I eat really good food. Like everything I eat is very was supposed to be clean, right? You know, but uh at least I know what I raise is clean. And what I buy at the store, if it's organic, who knows? Like it it's mostly at this point just a label for marketing in a lot of times. Um, it's some good source stuff that you know it's actually organic, but you know, that may not do be everything, right? You may we you just may have an underpro underproductive system that is not able to do it anymore, right? You know, like especially guys like Chris and I who've been in the military and we have worn our bodies out, like we that's why we we may need to look at other like this. I've pushed this off for years. Like I did not want to do this. I do not want to have to be giving myself a subcancutaneous shot twice a week, right? I don't want to. Yeah, I do it. Like it's not like the needle that's easy, but the uh the I Amazons are yeah, the testosterone's like trying to put in peanut butter through a sub Q. Like it's like super, super again.

SPEAKER_06 48:54

Like we said about all these things, they're not golden BBs, right? Like, like just because you're testosterone, you're not gonna have a lot of you're not gonna have a you're gonna feel more energy, but you gotta do something with that energy. You gotta go walk, you gotta work out, you gotta do other stuff, you gotta eat right, right? So, like I mean, I've lost a hundred pounds in over a year, it's over a year, so it's like, but it's not because of the test, like that just helped me like survive and come home and do my job, and you know, so yeah, I was like below 200, like I was really I forget what it was, but it's bad, you know, because they do not be afraid to get the help that you need to get where you need to be.

SPEAKER_00 49:31

Because even if I didn't need to take TRT, I wasn't if I decided against it, like I'm I've been in a much better mood since I've been taking it too. I've noticed that specifically myself because I'm not like as I'm not a I don't have a show refuse with my kids right now. Like I've been way more patient with another am. So then I've got a confession along, you know. I was gonna go to confession like every week because I'll yell at my kids again out of frustration, you know, and I just hate doing that. But this is you know, I just I gotta go to confession every week because I'm an asshole. All right, so we we did the uh so supplements, like so to talk to us about creatine.

Creatine, Caffeine, And Brain Fog

SPEAKER_06 50:13

Oh you're a big fan. Yeah again, like I kind of put myself into a lot of this stuff, so like I can't really say like I mean I I work a lot, like, but I I did a pro like I I need to provide for my family, right? Like, I mean, granted, I just retired, but you know but yeah, I didn't sleep much, I didn't do all kinds of things, so I was always trying to find, you know you know, like I would drink easily a thousand milligrams of caffeine in a 24 hours, you know. So like actually which actually that a ton of that's decreased since I've been on testosterone and and even just nicotine, but sorry, where were we creatine? So creatine is like so normal normal dose they're saying is like five milligrams daily, you know, just and they're worried about because of kidney stuff. It does increase some stuff with your kidneys, but it's not detrimental. You just have to tell your doc because the creatine markers and the BUN creatine markers will will will kind of go up. And so you have to tell your doc like, hey, I'm taking creatine, that's why they're higher. It's not because I'm in kidney failure, you know. But do I start I started doing 15 to 20 milligrams, like some of the docs have said. And man, dude, like I mean, I gotta drink a ton more water, which is beneficial too, right? Like, because you do have to hydrate a lot more, but man, like I've gotten much but more muscle mass, I've gotten more like just so much more energy, clarity, brain uh brain clarity. Brain clarity is a big thing for me. And that was my like since like I started getting really bad brain fog, obviously, like five six years ago, like or just get older, and the T TRT helped a lot with that, but the creatine is really like if if I'll take that creatine, it's it's on, like it's it's it's good. And they're saying that you don't you're not getting the neuro effects until you hit 15 milligrams. So and yes, women can take creatine, yes.

SPEAKER_00 52:07

Yeah. Well, I remember you know, when I was in the so in the marines, we were I was working out like every single day, running five miles a day. You know, I was basically being patient.

SPEAKER_06 52:16

Screw that. I don't rain, I don't run. They forced me to run. I I'll lift, I'll lift all day. I'll both I'll go 20 miles with a hundred pounds on my back, but I I hate running, dude. I can get there fast.

SPEAKER_00 52:27

But it it was my job to work out, right? Yeah, yeah. So I was taking I was taking like concrete, which is like a what's a creatine supplement back in the day, back with Jack 3D. Did you guys have ripped fuel when you were in?

SPEAKER_06 52:38

Oh yeah, oh yeah, dude. Oh, we tore that up. That was it, because we didn't have energy drinks when I was in. I got energy drink with Mountain Dew. They didn't have any of these other Red Bulls and stuff, but we had that ripped fuel from GNC Man with Ephedra, the real ephedra in it.

SPEAKER_00 52:52

Real ephedra. Yeah, you remember we used to be able to get it at the gas station. Yeah, it was amazing. Like real ephedra at the gas station. Don't tell anybody. It's just repackaged. Yeah. Uh but yeah, I remember you know, Jack 3D and Inno Explode. Man, yeah, you know. The problem with Inno Explode was especially if you took it before workout, you had to hit the bathroom before you go work out. Because if not, you're gonna be in the mid-rep somewhere and you're gonna have a bathroom.

SPEAKER_06 53:24

Well, it's remember like remember you do like PFTs, man, and these guys that were like super runners, like I remember one dude, like you see guys with like crap down their leg, you know, like they just crap on the way because they were just like pumping. Like, I will have one guy, he beat the entire company, and he still took foot on the side of the side of the and just like took care of business and still beat everybody.

SPEAKER_05 53:44

I'm like, Ryan, you're good, I'll screw you.

SPEAKER_00 53:48

I'll carry your ammo for you, you know. I used to run the PFT and because I worked for the three shop my first couple of years, and there were times where guys would come back without a sock. You know, like they made it, they made an executive decision halfway through that three-mile run. Yeah, you know, and they still made it in like 21 minutes, you know.

SPEAKER_06 54:11

But dude, I mean, people run it run marathons with barefoot. I mean, who needs a sock?

SPEAKER_00 54:15

I mean, I like my socks, but yeah, there's a lot of stories we can't tell people until the show. All my best and worst memories are from the same eight-year period. Yeah, I don't know about worse, but yeah, they're I don't hear. So I take so you know, going on the the creatine. So like I if I do a non-workout day, right? Like if I just do cardio for a day, because I've been doing a lot more walking than than running. I'll skip, I'll skip sometimes, but go ahead. Sorry. So on those days that I'm not hitting the gym, like today I didn't hit the gym because I was repairing the toilet, so I had not time. But like today I only did 10, right? I did 10 on days that I work out, I'll do 15.

SPEAKER_06 55:01

It seems like 15's the the sweet spot. I I don't do 20 all the time. There's like what I was doing when I was doing like hitting 24s heavy over the last just in the last year though, like it really helped. But 15 is usually about what I normally do. So yeah.

SPEAKER_00 55:17

Well, and you know, and not only that, but creatine's cheap, man. You can buy you can buy like a 60, you know, serving, which is five milligrams in a serving for like 15 bucks in a lot of these places. Like, uh I if you're a military. Like, I haven't even looked at Costco because I use I usually use first form because they're usually a little bit better sourced on their stuff, or I'll use Cellucor because they get a really good military discount. Oh, cool. Upwards of 50%. Right. So if you're military or veteran or fire, whatever, you can get a really good price on it. But I mean, creatine's super cheap, and you can put it in anything. You can put coffee, put it in water, you can put it milk. I do it, my coffee has no taste whatsoever. You know, like I right now, the creatine I take, I take it also with my like AG1. It's the green stuff, you know. Um, because I don't always get to eat vegetables, you know. Yeah, where like today, I like I forgot to eat a couple meals, so like I had to eat everything at dinner.

SPEAKER_06 56:17

You ever find out that you get like a ton of like there's I feel like I get more energy some days, like I do I I've tried a lot of like intermittent fasting and stuff, which I really like, but I also like food. But have you ever noticed like if I don't eat breakfast, I have a ton of energy, man.

SPEAKER_00 56:31

Like I don't I I haven't eaten breakfast in I only eat breakfast when my wife wants me to. Like if I should have to eat with the kids or whatever, but usually I don't eat breakfast. Especially like now during Lent, I don't I eat one meal a day Wednesdays and Fridays, right? So I'm definitely not getting enough protein. So I know that. So I take protein shakes to help out. Uh yeah, I I really like protein shakes. It's yeah, yeah. So no, the only scam about AG1 is the price. It's way you can find way cheaper alternatives for the exact same thing.

SPEAKER_06 57:04

For almost anything, I mean, like these things you see on like on these ads, these people. I mean the ingredients is it? I'm sorry, guys. It tastes horrible.

SPEAKER_00 57:15

AG1 does I've never tried it, so I don't it it's like eating, it's like eating cardboard with kale tasting. It's like it's horrible. You can you you kind of have to like just chug it and like close your nose, man. It's bad.

SPEAKER_06 57:30

So Cal says, we've all pooped in an alley next to a hobo bob because K2 is so rampant and the BLM is blocking the ambulance base. We've all been there. We've all been there. Bro, I pooped in the back of an ambulance with a patient.

SPEAKER_00 57:46

So I pooped in the middle of a fire.

SPEAKER_06 57:50

Well, dude, I can see that, man. Like I was sitting there and like I had to go so bad, and I'd have time to like talking, dude.

SPEAKER_00 57:57

Like I'll see like we're done, yeah. The tones go off, and I didn't have time. So I throw my turnout gear on and I get in the truck, and we're in this fight. You know, like I'm I've got the inch and three quarters with me, and then the two and a half is coming in behind me, and I'm in there just and like I it hits me. Like, man, I've got a boot so dude.

SPEAKER_06 58:17

You're on a call. Like, I've I've had pay I've told patients, I'm like, hey, would you mind if I use your registro? Like I'm prayer dog, and I'm touching cloth.

SPEAKER_00 58:26

Like, I like I'm not gonna I introduced my children to the uh the term I had a turtle head poking out on Sunday because we had a we had uh you drank coffee church, huh? We had the first communion we had to go to. Uh I've been holding it since that morning. I was like, look, guys, we gotta I gotta get somewhere because you know, like you used to have prairie dog in it, right? Turtle head poke out. Like I had to go, you know, because I didn't have time that morning because like, man, if I I drink my coffee in the morning, if I don't have time, right? It's gonna be a bad day for me. I'm gonna get the stomach cramped, you know. But yeah, they and my my kids lost it. They never heard that before because I'm pretty reserved with my kids. Like, I don't they don't get to see like the full side of me yet, they're not really old enough to see that yet. They see it occasionally. Like today, we watched the stand lot, right? This is the first time I kids ever watched the stand line. I love that movie. Just started playing baseball and we watched the stand line, and I started making some comments during it, and they saw like Marine Corps dad come out a little bit. I don't really expose that to them very much, and so my my kids were just they're like in stitches. That's awesome, man.

SPEAKER_03 59:35

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 59:37

I'm not unfortunately I try to be more reserved, but things fall come out more often than it should. So and my kids are crazy anyways.

Grid Stress And Stocking Up Now

SPEAKER_00 59:49

All right, so we went through some of the stuff for the kids, you know, Tylenol, Motrin, and all that, whether it's liquid or or you know, pills, you know, whatever, but stock up on that stuff, you know, some supplements you can stock up on, and some of this stuff is cheap right now, so get it while you can because who knows how long we're gonna get this stuff, right? Because my big the biggest indicator I see is one, we're trying to add data centers to an electrical grid that is already 60 years behind, right?

SPEAKER_06 1:00:18

So when the brownote transformers are made in China, yes, and it takes literally two to three months to build one of those.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:26

Yeah, and those if those go out in a in a storm or something, it's like what the when the brownouts happen, because they will, and they're already like New York and California are gonna hit are gonna be having this this this summer. Yeah, but I have a consideration either about that.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:39

I think that's their full I think they're doing that. California already has them pretty regularly. No, they've had they've had them for years, man. Like exactly. But there's yeah, there's a lot of there's actually a lot of inside information in California people Californians know, like Nor NorCal runs the state, right? And like like there's a story, like so. I grew up in Santa Barbara, California, and they we voted in because we we get like California, like Southern California's a desert, right? Like people don't realize that it's a desert, like it's all city now, but you know, it's a desert. So we voted in to have them build a m I think it was a ten million dollar DCAL plant, right? And it took I forget how many years, and they turned it on one time to make sure it worked, and then they shut it off. And when NorCal started seeing that, that we were gonna have our own because they used to basically like hold water from us, you know? And they're like, well, no, we're gonna build this billion dollar aqueduct from NorCal and make sure you guys have water all the time. And so our politicians said, Okay, well, we don't need it, and they sold it to like Kuwait or Saudi Arabia, our our our D cell plant. And now they've been in multiple droughts, multiple so like there's a lot of like in and it's the same, it's a corrupt everywhere, but uh that's kind of another inside thing about California, is like like each state has their own like corruption or yeah, so well.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:12

So when I lived in in Georgia, the issue there was Georgia was trying to annex land from Tennessee so they had more access to the Tennessee River. Like it's because Atlanta is like it's hard up for water. Atlanta is pretty much the northern half of Georgia at this point. Uh it was going up to the Supreme Court to see like, could they have access to this water? You know, and so water is going to be an issue in the future. Yeah, right. And it's just because it's it's being mismanaged a lot, you know, like you're saying out in California. Because one of the first things the Iranians hit in the Gulf were desal plants, right? They hit Israel's, they hit Saudi Arabia's, they hit Yemen's, right? They hit a bunch of desol plants. Like if you can't drink water, good for them. I mean, you're gonna get bad. Yeah.

Wounds, Petroleum Jelly, And Honey

SPEAKER_06 1:03:02

No, I mean, I mean, that's really that they're all running off desel. I mean, I mean, to make the the thing is it's not like you can desell your own water, you boil it up, salt, left, you know, basically distill it, whatever, but uh but you need it the quantities, right? Like, so and that's like if you look at any kind of communist or any kind of like overtaken of any place, what do they try to do? They try to suppress your food and suppress your water, right? Like when you when you're hungry and you're you're starving and you want like you're you're gonna be easily controlled, right? Absolutely. So yeah, I mean that's where I kind of go with like that's how I've always grown up. Like, well, I don't want to be control I don't want the government for telling me you know, I want to be able to take care of my family and not have to rely on the government, so that's why let's get the medicines, let's learn these different medical things. That's yeah, you know, it's just that's a side note. Maybe um uh if we want to go in like medit like they make sure you have like like triple antibiotic, but honestly, like the triple antibiotic is okay, but they're finding out a lot of it's all you need is the petroleum jelly or the lanolin jelly because what it money does is keeps out all once you clean out a wound really well, yeah, it actually that that oil that petroleum jelly or the oil, it keeps microbes and everything getting into there. So even if you don't use an on the triple antibiotic, it may or may not help. But definitely have a hydrocarbon cream because I've like I've made I make like for ear infections and stuff, all you gotta do is you get a hydrocarbisone cream, and then you get the neosporin and cream, and then you mix them up into mix a little bit into a little cup, and then you add some cream or milk to it, stir it all up, and then until it gets really and until you get liquid consistency, and then those are the those are your eardrops for ear infections and stuff. I don't know how to use it, it works really well. Yeah, it because if you look at because it except because you're if you get the prescription ones, it has the polysporin, it has all those antibiotics in there. Yeah, plus it usually has like dexamethizazone, which is a a steroid, which hydrochlorizone is a steroid, yeah. So you're getting all the cuts for the pain resistance, you know, or the pain uh pain help for the pain. So you give them all those and you just do a few drops every uh a couple times a day with cotton in their ear. Like it works great. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:23

Yeah. You know, because what we've used a few times as well is uh like especially on cuts, we put honey on it.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:29

Oh, honey is because they found honey in bandages in the pyramids. Like honey has been known. Like it impregnates, it's like one of the best, like you put it on gauze bandages, like it's one of the best antimicrobials out there. Um actually my mom just had she had, you know, she stopped for chemotherapy and her pork got infected. Like she had a wound like from like up here all the way down just below her chest. I mean open, right? And so they gave they had they were gonna give her like she had wound care like once a week. And so I'd go over there and help her out with like wound changes. But they actually gave her packages of sterile honey wafers. And I would cut a piece off and I'd slide it in under the flap. And then and you know, while when you obviously cut sterile technique and all this and slide it into the flap of her skin, I mean it shields really. I mean, it's it's totally up now.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:21

Yeah, and you gotta be careful with like the honey you get as well, because a lot of it's just molasses, you know.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:27

High fructose corn syrup, yeah, like anything from China, like yeah, anything you're gonna most stuff you're gonna get from that's not local is gonna be fortified with air possibly like you know, because that's the one thing I've wanted to get into.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:40

I just haven't done yet is raising bees, you know, keeping bees with an apiary. But yeah, I got because I've got friends to do it. Like I there's a guy, you know, if y'all ambrosian candle company, I've met them a couple times, twice actually, through Jason Craig, and they they convinced me like you need to get bees, right? Because not only can you use the the honey, but it helps your garden, it helps you know anything you you grow to eat. Yeah, because they pollinate it, right?

SPEAKER_05 1:07:05

They have to, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:06

And then you know, you get the honey, you get the wax, you can use the wax for things. But one of the other things that I didn't realize was getting stung by the bees occasionally, you know, just like a couple of stings, like every couple of weeks, keeps your immune system up. It helps reinforce your immune system, and it it'll it in a lot of times the the bee sting will help get rid of allergies. Oh wow. So, like at this point, I'm almost like, I'm gonna take my son out to a bee thing and get stung a couple times. We'll come back every couple weeks.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:36

You gotta watch it too, though, because like my mom, I still remember that like she was driving us home from school one day, and a bee flew in and like bit her on the like she was driving, so she couldn't like swat it. And she even stung multiple times her whole life. And at that point, like, but that was the one sting that caused her to have like almost apoplexis, basically, you know. So you just gotta kind of like watch out, you know.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:58

Yeah, yeah. That's uh man, I the I can't tell you how many times I've been on like a hike or something. I'm just I'm mouth breathing and like a bug flies in my hand. I'm just I'm just sucking wind because I've got like 50 pounds on my back. I'm like you know, eight miles in, and I like have always been uphill. I'm like and also like a get a but my wife it kills her every time I tell her about it. It's just because it happens way too often.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:24

Yeah, but you're in Georgia like are you in Bama or Georgia? I'm in Alabama, yeah. I think it's like a cloud of like bugs just everywhere.

Ten Must-Have Items For Home

SPEAKER_00 1:08:32

We got mosquitoes the size of birds here, yeah. It's bad. All right, so we've gone over some so like it give me give me a list of like 10 things you would suggest everyone should have on hand, no matter what, right? Just like a good starting 10. So we got Telenol, we got Motrin, right? Benadryl. Benadryl. Okay, so Benadryl, it was anti hits me with also uh allergic reactions and stuff, right?

SPEAKER_06 1:08:58

So we got three uh another side note with Benadryl, so like we give it a lot like with like pain. I gave it a lot of times like so remember like the whole zero to ten scale for pain? Yeah, right. Like that's I mean, it's obviously subjective, right? Like, and you'd always try to like ask the women like a childbirth is a is a 10, right? And they'd be like, okay, you know, like it still just wasn't well the reason the reason why it's subjective is because like about 60% of your pain is fear and anxiety, and so that's what you need to treat along with the pain. So giving something that's gonna decrease their anxiety and their that that fear is gonna help the pain medicine work, it's gonna help everything go away. So, like, like I can literally give like a quarter to half a dose of of a normal fentanyl dose, adding 25 milligrams of benigil to it, or or some or fennerin or something like that, right? So because that's gonna suppress a lot of that adrenal yeah, adrenaline. It's also gonna help like again if you're having gastro pain. Like I can get people with any kind of GI pain, give them fentanyl, it may help a little bit, but as soon as I give them some benigril, it's gone, right? You know, it's like so that's another good thing to have benadryl. So motor entanol, benadryl, vitamin D, vitamin C, uh Pepsi for motidine, because that's a a good GI protector, and it's not one of those like things like Prilosec and all those things, like they can lead to stroke, heart attack, and also like high high blood pressure. Like when I remember when it came out, I was working on a pharmacy, and like you're only supposed to take it for 14 days, and then you can start getting like blood work and stuff, like that's like and that, but now they have it over the counter, people are taking it, and that's prescription string, like they're taking like every day. Yeah, you know, and so it's almost like they don't care, they want you to have these illnesses because that's what's been feeding the money. And that's my dispersion.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:00

But so I think this point is not a conspiracy, it's pretty much.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:03

Yeah, I mean, so so things like uh Xantac, Rhenidine, and uh Prilosec Femodidine, those are those are H2 blockers. So that they're not gonna have that same issue that you'd have with things like Prilosec or Nexen or those kind of meds.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:22

So that's so we we got about six. So we got six. Oh magnesium. You've got what creatine? Magnesium? Magnesium. Now there are different types of magnesium.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:41

Yeah, supposedly, like I always gave we always gave IV mag sulfate. That's usually what they'll give for like most medical IV stuff. They say there's a better absorption with with uh magnesium gluconate, and there's some other couple magnesiums that some of them are like like magnesium citrate. You're only gonna take that if you need to like you're stuffed up. You need a stuffed up, you know. So you might want to have like ammonium on on hand, maybe like because you know they try to help. But I mean ammonium is kind of one of those like yeah, it's gonna stop you losing water. But sometimes the after effect can cause even more problems, but you might want to have that.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:26

Let me think. And we we talked about melatonin as well. Melatonin, yeah. I'd do melatonin. Yeah, that's a good list. We've got so we've got Tylenol Motrin, Vinadril, vitamin D, which you said was a 10k minimum, which I gotta I gotta bump my numbers up. Vitamin C.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:45

Most of us paramedics take 10, we would take 10 milligrams instead of it.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:48

Okay, so pepsid, creatine, magnesium, emodion, emodium, melatonin. Right. Zinc. I would do zinc too. And zinc as well, right? And you gotta make sure it's elemental zinc.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:59

Yeah. Um the thing is, like, but you're gonna get zinc from a lot. If you're growing your own vegetables and stuff, you're gonna get plenty of zinc though. You know what I'm saying? Like maybe, maybe, yeah. It just depends on what you're eating the greens. A lot of the greens have have zinc in them, so yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:14

So uh Miss Casey's jumped in. She says if you're taking a high dose of vitamin D, you need to take vitamin K2 with it to protect your heart. It it's okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:26

I would take K2 also, but it it's it's out there whether or not it helps your heart or not. But um slides to take K has a lot more to do with like absorption and stuff. So yeah, I I would do the K2 also.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:41

So what's the what's the benefit of taking K2 other than it helps you, it helps a fat a better absorption of the of the vitamin D. Okay. Look, as I as Ocean said, heart heart failure is a mindset. And I had a very well-known Japanese doctor told me that your heart only has so many beats in it. So why increase your amount of beats and decrease your life? Right? Like if you got like a million beats in you, like why would you run or exercise? You're just what you mean.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:13

Well, I mean, your heart's a muscle, right? You gotta work it out to failure, right? Yeah, that's why I drink I drink monsters because I'm working it out.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:22

Yeah, I'm working my liver out to failure right now. All right. All right, so that's I think that's a good list, you know, things just like some off-pad things. What we may want to do in the future, Chris, is is get to get more specific on like what if, you know, like you like your remedy for ear infections, right? Because my my kids get ear infections occasionally. We don't swim a whole lot, we just you know, we don't have time with everything we do. When we do like we go down to my in-laws and they have a pool at their condo, and you know, we'll swim there, and they'll be in the pool all day for like four days in a row. So that's almost guaranteed we're coming out with an ear infection, you know. So, but we may want to get more specific in the future because some things, you know, are are like for example, like around my property, like ringworm, right? If you're running around with shoes out out, shoes all the time. Like my kids run every my kids are hobbits, they're everywhere with no shoes on all the time. Like my son runs in gravel, right? All like what do you I'm like I'm wince when I watch it running gravel. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_06 1:15:24

Well, that's why they call it tenderfoots, man. He ain't a tenderfoot, man.

unknown 1:15:28

Yeah. Yeah.

Building A Parallel Local Economy

SPEAKER_00 1:15:30

Get those cows on there. Especially, yeah. Especially my boy is not. You know, like dealing with things like ringworm and you know, things that may come up in the event that we can't get to a doctor, right? You know, and we're not talking about like setting a bone and stuff like that. You're at that point, you're basically just like doing the best you can and hoping for the best, right? Yeah, I mean, it's not that hard to set a bone, though. I mean, we can talk about it another day, but you know what I would yeah, I've talked to Rob about this as well, Chris. Is what I would like to see from you, because I know like you're you're very handy as far as when it comes to like leather work. If y'all haven't seen Chris's leather, in fact, I'll be ahead. Chris sent me a phenomenal uh pipe stand. I use it as a pipe stand, it could be used as a cigar cigar stand as a cigar and pipe, yeah. He's he's very handy with the leather work, but you know what? What I would love to see you do, Chris, is start creating your own IFAX, and I will promote the crap out of you, man. And I want it, don't don't give me anything for it, right? Because I'm all about promoting my friends, and I think that would be a good retirement gig for you, right? And like we could promote slow, man. I'm just too slow. You got a whole family of workers, you're gonna man. Y'all are built for this, yeah. Y'all get the whole family involved, turn this into a thing, man. I will promote the crap out of y'all. Uh I want to I want to see my friends do well. But you know, Rob and I, you know, that's what we want to do. Like, you know, this whole uh I'm not gonna, I'm I'm gonna I'm designed not to go down that topic. Sorry, but I the I have no desire to ever monetize this, even if we get like 50,000, 60,000 subs, which we won't. This is such a niche channel, like we'll never get there, and that's fine. I'm okay with that. If we get 10 people who watch and get something out of this, I'm good with it, right? But well, there's benefits of being small, right? Yeah, so I can say whatever I want without having to worry about like occupational pullback, but uh as well as like my goal is to promote the you know everyone I can. I I want to see you all do well because if we don't take care of each other, no one's gonna take care of us, right? So you know and and and I I we the chat's gonna hate this analogy, but I'm gonna bring it up because it it's it's an effective understanding of of the need to patron other people's businesses. The average dollar in the Jewish community circles around 13 times before it ever leaves, which means the Jews are patroning other's business uh each other's businesses all the time because they see themselves as a community.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:13

And so the original came from yours and my tax dollars.

unknown 1:18:17

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:18

Well, it might be you know, yeah, who knows? But uh but we need to do the same thing as Catholics, man. Like in my job, I push Catholic business owners all the time. My goal is like, hey, if you need an accountant, I got I know six of them. I will send you doing them. Oh, you need an estate attorney, I know three of them, right? You need an electrician, I got you know a dozen, right? And I'm trying to patron each other's businesses because we need to create our own parallel economy. And uh yeah, I if y'all haven't seen it, what's going on right now? The groundwork is being laid for us to be ostracized as Americans again, right? With the Ted Cruz stuff and zodiac killer, yeah, the zodiac killer, Ted Cruz, everything that's going on, like the goal as I see, and I commented, I made this comment on X earlier, is it seems the groundwork is being laid to where if because we don't agree with the Zionist agenda currently of the neocon government, right, and we don't also agree with abortion, we are being slowly positioned where both sides can feel safe coming after faithful Catholics. Right. And so that means we're gonna have to depend on each other even more. We're going to have to go to each other's businesses. If you need car work done, you go to the guy down the street that's a Catholic that goes to your parish and that does it, right? If you need a plumber, you have the guy that goes to the next parish over from you that does it, right? Because if we don't patron each other's businesses and help each other out, we're gonna have a hard time.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:53

Well, that's what the Masons do, right? I mean, yeah, exactly what they there's also another benefit to what you're saying, though, is I mean, you're gonna have to try to hope, but I mean, if they home hold the same ideals as you and I, uh as real as a Catholic ideals, then you can trust them more, right? Because what's the hardest thing about going to some of these mechanics or whatever you call, like, are they just ripping me off for an extra buck? Or they I mean that's a hard thing to do. But you're hope you're hoping that if this person has the same morals and virtues, that they're not gonna do that to me, you know. Like, and so I think there's there's that benefit. Unfortunately, we're in a weird time with Catholics.

SPEAKER_00 1:20:36

We're we're very tribal as Catholics as well, right now. Yeah, because we have a lot of Catholics that would prefer to go along with the world than with the Catholic Church as well, right? And they're varying degrees of that and where you fall in that spectrum, you know. But to your point, like I've toyed around with the idea of setting up a website here in in Birmingham of Catholic businesses, right? So people know, like, hey, if I need something done, I can go to a Catholic to get done. But what the understanding is there's no discount there, unless you know you cannot ask for a discount, right? Because you're supporting a family specifically. Now if they decide to offer you one, that well, that's a different matter. But you know, but the one caveat was if you're reaching out to them from that website, it was well, you get shoved to the front of the line, right? You may not be getting a discount, but you get priority, right? And that gives a benefit. You know, hey, if I if I need you know an attorney, right, he's gonna put me in the front of the line because we're Catholic. He's not gonna give me a break on the money because I know it's supporting his family, right? And I know the specific family it supports, as opposed to going to like Jiffy Lube, which is supporting a corporation and its shareholders instead of a specific family, right? And that's the that's the that's the the compromise you're gonna have to have with that. Because our goal is to support other families. You need to pay a an honest wage to someone for work they do for you. And hold on.

SPEAKER_06 1:22:03

I mean, you you're a father and supporter, like it's not easy, right? Like these days it's it's a doll a dollar doesn't go very far sometimes, you know. Like and to be able to support it other other Catholics in that position that hold your same beliefs, right? Because like it's so and that's a huge thing. Like so many don't I mean it you can't always judge, right? I mean I mean you have to judge to a point, but I'd be it'd be much more you just feel I don't know, I don't know if it's a virtue or what, but just being able to help out other fellow exactly Catholics, right? You know, like it's I was not allowed to do that. Unfortunately, like how many times have we like, oh this person's anti Catholic area and then they turn out to be like just like everyone else? You're like, oh gosh, it's just it's just depressing now. But yeah. But that that actually benefited us with our house because we were like our first year on our land, our well pump went out. Our brand new well pump, the guy we bought our land from, and we looked up our first, I mean, we prayed to St. Anthony, looked up our first first person on the Google list, and he ended up being someone who went to the church we were going to. We hadn't met him yet, and like now we're like we're friends, and it's it's just really cool. Like, oh definitely, and yeah, and he was he didn't give us a discount on on the real top of the line pump, but he's like, You it's gonna do it's gonna last you, and it did, right? Like, like he was being honest with us, right? Like, yeah, that's all we want. Like, tell me the truth. Like, I would rather pay top dollar for something that's gonna last nowadays, like stuff doesn't last, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:40

Yeah, we're I'm getting to the point now. Like, the next time my fridge goes out, I'm gonna look for a refurbished one from like the 60s and just run with it, man. Because if it's running from still from the 60s, it's gonna run forever. Yeah, we're getting to that point. Like, we just had to buy a new washer and dryer. You know, other ones lasted 13 years. I mean, you and so the average person's like 13 years, that's a long time. I had a washer and dryer my dad gave me when I moved out in 1999, right? And it and my cousin still has it now, it still works. Is it top load? Yeah, it's top load.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:12

Yeah, that's it. Those last those literally like they they last the longest, and they have all the parts to repair them. Yeah, they're they're the simplest thing, like yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:24:22

So, you know, it's just I I would love to see you do that. I would love to see you you because you you know y'all are good at the uh the the tailoring aspect of it. You know, you just get you gotta get the right materials to do it. And I would love to see you, you know, just have you bring on occasionally and just hawk your wares pretty much, right? I think you're embarrassed about that. I'm like what you ain't gotta worry about it because I'll hop, I'll I'll I'll pump you up for you. Uh you gotta pump you gotta pump up Sean too.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:48

He's uh the the Canuck that wants um he does really good leather work. You should look at his website.

SPEAKER_00 1:24:54

Yeah, but I mean I I'm all about that. You know, we got a few guys. I talked to Sam Rhodes a couple two days last night, maybe the night before, you know, and he's looking at you know, moving possibly to Alabama, and he got a much different talk than somebody because I got guys from the military all the time who call me and are like, hey, what's Alabama like? And the first thing I go back like, man, who did you vote for in OA? You know, if I know he voted for the community organizer, I'm like, man, it's horrible down here. They lynched a dude last week down the road. You know, it was super racist down here. But then I'll get guys like, hey man, what's Alabama like? And I like, and I know them, I know how they're good guys. Like, man, move down here as soon as you can. It's amazing. Like, there's nature everywhere. You know, Alabama is one of the most biodiverse states in the United States. We have beaches to mountains to you know deserts, we have everything here, and it's cost of living is great, right? And so it's just a matter of you know, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:56

Texas.

SPEAKER_00 1:25:58

Yeah, I would I would normally promote Texas, but Texas is gonna be blue eventually.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:03

Uh I mean you know, like, well, I mean, it it was before, right, man? Like, so but I one of the big benefits I always see at Texas, like, if we can keep it, you know, red or whatever. I mean, who knows what that means anymore.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:20

I mean, Texas is is literally, I mean, I know people talk trash about the power grid when it went down the other, but that there's a lot of other stuff that went in and involved with that. But it's the only state in the country that has its own power grid.

unknown 1:26:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:26:31

It's been like that. They they made that one of the reasons they did that was because of the the ports, you know, because and the longest beach, because they wanted to be able to resupply during World War II, I believe it was, and it's like, yeah, where they're also they're also susceptible to the the Bolshevik, you know, environmental disease as well. That's why you have giant solar farms that got damaged by that snowstorm years ago.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:55

That it actually was the wind farm, man, and they've been building up like so our county refused them, but I can see them because I can see 20 miles across the hill country from my house, yeah, and you can just see them blinking. Like, so like the county just northwest of us, and they're just everywhere, man. Like, it's just ridiculous, and like people don't realize it is so it kills they kill like I forget how many bats and birds, like all these people don't care about environment, dude.

SPEAKER_00 1:27:19

They're killing the number one killing killer of the bald eagle is wind farms. Yeah, I believe it. I'm driving through so I was driving all my way up to kill one.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:31

I want one of those feathers, bro. Like, I can't even do that.

SPEAKER_00 1:27:34

I'm driving up to St. Paul and we had to go through Illinois, and we drove through like 50 miles of wind farm. Yeah. Out in the middle of these like cornfields and stuff. It's like 29 palms.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:45

I mean, you're at 29 palms.

SPEAKER_00 1:27:46

I missed that boat.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:48

Dude, traffic right through Palm Springs and stuff. It was just like, I mean, it's probably worse now, but it was just like literally miles and miles of just of the the wind farms, you know. But I mean that's Makes difference the desert. Who wants to be out there? Yeah, the gas and yeah, you know, screw the deter tourists.

SPEAKER_00 1:28:06

Nobody cares about a desert tourist.

unknown 1:28:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:28:08

But yeah, it's but you know, in Alabama, the thing we're fighting with here in Alabama is the data centers. Man, they are loving data centers. They're everywhere, man. Which it makes no sense. You think they would put them all up north because the cooling capability you need to keep these things cool, like the amount of power you need to find to AC these things is enormous down here. Well, actually, it's uh that's what they're talking about.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:36

Uh just southwest of us in Taylor, just north, just north of like Austin, they're building a Samsung's building, it's been it's been proposed for years, right? And they had to stop for a second because like they didn't have they had they had to build a uh a cooling pond because the water that they they built it there because of the water up the river that was buying by there, but it wasn't proper water, uh some type of water that wasn't good best enough to make the farms and and so it was just like it's just getting ridiculous, man.

SPEAKER_00 1:29:11

Well, and the problem with data centers is is we don't have enough power for them. You you need an entire city.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:19

You need a nuclear plant.

SPEAKER_00 1:29:21

Yeah, you it needs their they need their own dedicated plants, pretty much, because one data center draws enough power than an entire city does. I mean, we and the infrastructure just cannot support it.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:31

Well, you know, it's all about environmenties. Environweaties don't even remember nuke my whole life. Oh, don't do nukes, don't do nukes, and then all of a sudden, oh no, we're gonna do nukes and stuff like that. It's the greenest power. Well, it is one of the greenest powers, but yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:29:46

So Lord send us the asteroid is all like that. We would benefit from nothing more than a giant coronal mass ejection or an EMP. Like, get rid of all this technology. It is it is horrible for us. We need to get rid of it. Yeah, y'all be able to see another G and R podcast, but that's fine.

SPEAKER_06 1:30:04

Y'all be alright. Yeah, the whole thing on the EMP though, man, like I mean it would take a mass ejection, a coronal max ejection to really do any kind of damage. But yeah, I mean they've been but they've been shielding everything from EMP since the 80s.

SPEAKER_00 1:30:18

So it's like it it it did, they did some in the 80s, and then it really wasn't emphasized anymore because when the when the EMP commission came out in 1998, we were woefully unprepared for the event of like a massive EMP event happening somewhere in the United States. Now, the Trump administration since it in 2019, he's he he wrote a executive order to reinforce the infrastructure, but it only lasted until he got out of office in 2020. But he has been reinforcing it since he came back in this, you know, the in his current term, but still not enough. You know, we we we have too many things that are on what do they call it? There's these little nodes everywhere that transfer power everywhere, and they're highly susceptible to any type of electromagnetic uh interference. And we would have massive amounts of people unable to get power for years, especially the transformers without because people don't like those transformers have about 50 gallons of oil in them. Every single day. I've seen them blow up.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:28

I was driving by one, we hit by lightning, blew up in front of us.

SPEAKER_00 1:31:31

Yeah, there that there's nothing more fun as a firefighter to go to a transformer on fire because you can't do anything. Yeah, you just have to sit there and watch it and make sure it doesn't catch anything else on fire. It's the easiest call ever to go on because you don't have to you don't have to even get deploy the hose or nothing. You sit there and watch it and just make sure. Because you can't do anything, you can't spray water on an electric power line, you'll die, right? You can't spray foam on it because it doesn't go up high enough, you know. So what's the point? You just have to sit there and watch it burn. It's same thing with electric vehicles, you know, test electric vehicles, you just watch them burn, you can't do anything about it. You know, let's see. Look at some of these comments. I tried to answer y'all as questions as we could as we went through things. I don't I don't think if I didn't need a cell phone for work, I would never have one. I hate having a cell phone. I hate with every fire in my being. And it it and like I'm sort of addicted to it because I have FOMO, like keeping it up on X. Oh, I'm addicted. But if I didn't have to have one, like I wouldn't have this, I wouldn't care. I would get rid of it in a heartbeat. Let's see. I'm trying to see if there's any other questions that came up while we're going through things. Uh not unfortunately for me because I was a firepower paramedic, and so I did both. So even if I was riding on the engine, I was expected to ride in with the med unit on the way back. So that was yeah, that's that's the the worst of both worlds. Let's see what else. We had yeah, my I don't know if y'all do it. Your your department you're at, but we had the electronic stretchers.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:11

Yeah, we got those like the power. I'd added a decade to my career for my back, man.

SPEAKER_00 1:33:17

Yeah, man, those helped out so much. We got an we got a question we're gonna ask what you're drinking.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:22

So my wife got me when I retired a bottle of this, just to go try it.

SPEAKER_00 1:33:30

Tennessee blackberry, and it actually makes a really good old-fashioned. I like the uh I'm not a big fan of like flavored like whiskies, but the Tennessee like honey.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:43

The Tennessee honey, my wife loves that.

SPEAKER_00 1:33:44

That's that's actually good. I'll sip that by itself in the summer specifically. It's really good. Uh for you didn't ask, but uh, you know, I'm gonna tell you anyway. Uh I also have some bullet rye. I'm drinking a chimay.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:58

Oh, nice. Is that from that uh Anthony's thingy?

SPEAKER_00 1:34:03

It's an authentic Trappist product. Oh, I got it at Costco, you know. Oh yeah, usually I usually get some pretty good Belgian beers at Costco. Um isn't so Israeli bandages are very they can be used for a lot of things, yeah. So you call them whatever you want, call it a like a Rhodesia bandage, I don't care, but get one, right? Use them. They're they're very multi-use.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:29

Yeah, but I mean cravats can be worked the same, used the same way. So yeah, I mean, I I try to give like people like, oh, this is like an awesome option, but if they're like me and they're broke, like there's a lot of there's options that work just fine, you know.

SPEAKER_00 1:34:43

Like, yeah, I mean you can use a bandana, you know, for certain things, you know, it depends on what you're wanting to use it for, but they're very multi-use, highly recommend them for anything. But Sean's a big money leather maker, so he's got the money of it. Yeah, man. Just buy them. Call them, call them whatever you want, man. Call them acidic bandages. I don't care. It doesn't matter what you call them. Uh just use them, they're great. I usually use them either for a collarbone fracture, is what I use them more for anything, a Sam's plant, maybe, or I use them to hold a pressure bandage on. Yeah, they're that those are great. Yeah, both those are like what they're perfect for. Yeah. I I mean it's it's just a linen cloth, is pretty much all it is. Yeah. Um it just they're fantastic to use. Get them if you can. They're six million percent effective. This is this is known. This is known. This is this is science, actually. Yeah, um, you know, but we're I mean, but really, I think after this these studies were done, it is really only 274,000 percent effective. Uh still love to see.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:49

Uh did you want me to go over the respite? Like, uh what was somebody asked about how to do respiratory with in a shtf situation? Yeah, go for it. Yeah, go so I also did a whole I I have a whole bunch of stuff on antibiotics too. They were wondering about those Jace cases or whatever.

SPEAKER_00 1:36:09

Yes, we'll we'll we'll hit that last because I I think that was one that was one question that was asked in the I was gonna ask you what you thought about.

SPEAKER_06 1:36:15

I I yeah, I've I've we'll go ahead and hit it.

SPEAKER_00 1:36:20

So the Jace and there's a couple other companies do it. You're basically just overpaying for convenience, is really all it is. I mean, it's a good deal.

SPEAKER_06 1:36:30

Like if you can afford it, right? Like it's it's all packaged up for you, whatever, but you can get those for literally a tenth of the cost, like all those reasons.

SPEAKER_00 1:36:38

Yeah, you just have to get a prescription for most of them, is the issue. Unless you use like the fish antibiotics or something, you know. Well, I mean for example, like we keep ivermectin on on for everything, right? Now, apparently I haven't been taking enough ivermectin because you know, apparently it's you know, I haven't been taking enough for my body weight. I didn't really I let my wife handle that and she gave it to me and she's a nurse. I think it's just something she misread. So things like that we keep on hand. But yeah, like the the antibiotics and stuff, you can get it way cheaper. Some of it's through prescription only. You just kind of have to find a physician that can just write you a prescription, you can just go pick it up. Because especially when it comes to antibiotics, it's pretty benign. Right? You're not you're not you're not exactly asking for a prescription to some type of pain medicine or right, you know, where it's a controlled substance. You're it's not that big of a deal. Now, if we get into I I I haven't looked at fish antibiotics in probably five years. So they're the same. I thought I remembered a legislation going through to where they couldn't offer it anymore.

SPEAKER_06 1:37:44

Yeah, I heard something about it, like tractor supply was like limiting it, and yeah. It's the same stuff, man. Like and they're actually in adult uh in human dosings. But again, like I have heard that if you set up like a a Bitcoin or something like that, and you contact the place where they make it, i.e. India or China, and I've heard it's sixty-five dollars and seventy two cents to get like a thousand of a box of silence sent to you, and they'll even throw in like 500 bona pills too. I've heard. But that sounds like a very specific amount of money, I guess. I mean, yeah, I mean, so like like you can and and it's kind of weird how it works. So like they ship it to their their doctor that prescribes it. See, I I forget how you get it, but it's extremely cheap. Like, you can literally get triple the amount a JS case can give you of these all these meds, yeah, for like a hundred bucks.

SPEAKER_00 1:39:01

And keep in mind, guys, like so most of our prescriptions. So most of our medications are made in India now, yeah. Any FLP and China. All of that, yeah. That yeah, that and China are which is when when COVID hit, that was a big sticking point for a lot of people. We have nothing here, right? We we don't we we don't produce our own aspirin anymore. Well, we don't produce anything, and aspirin's like you can get it from like a willow tree, right? You just chew on the bark, and it's not as efficacious as like the concentrated aspirin, obviously, but it's not hard to do, but we just don't do it here anymore, which is a logistic failure. Well, so Tylenol comes from bark too.

SPEAKER_06 1:39:39

So I was kind of like I had put up a uh like if they wanted us to do it that way. I mean, I could put it on telegram or something, whatever, but there's certain if you're gonna do it, there's certain there's certain antibiotics you want. Like you want to know you want to have something for gram positive, gram negative, you want to have something that can possibly be broad spectrum for a lot. Some things work better for respiratory, some things work better for GI. I mean, the big one is like doxy. Doxycycline is probably one you want to get.

SPEAKER_05 1:40:11

And yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:24

And it's it's basically the horse the the animal one. If you are gonna go for like animal stuff, like with a with if you go on like tracker supply and trying to get to like the fish mocks and all that kind of you can actually get on Amazon too. Make sure you do the dosing per the swine dosing. Because that'll be the human dosing too. So that's something that people need to should know.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:49

But yeah, like I I can put I'll try I can type it up if you want or and put on telegram.

SPEAKER_00 1:40:53

But yeah, post on telegram, we'll we'll save it in the files.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:56

Some things are a little bit better, like things like Doxy and like azithromycin's good, but doxy is like probably the best for almost like it's one of the most broads but it can do so many other things. Yeah, and the cool thing is like it yeah, it's an antibiotic, but it'll actually kill viruses too, because it changes the intracellular pH. And they found that out. There's this actually um this doctor in France when when the vid hit, and he had learned he had known he was the number one parasite parasitologist in the world, and he had already like cured all these different parasites in like Africa, right? And he ended up getting blacklisted and all this stuff because his treatment worked, like he was and it one of it was azithromycin, ivermectin, and uh hydroxychloroquine, you know, like and it was working, and and then also some death, like that's another thing. Like you you might want to like one of those things I looked at the one the antibiotic jace case, and like if you have the money, that's cool, but yeah, a lot of us don't have that kind of money to get the dosing, and and it and it has a lot in there, but you're probably only gonna get a couple infections out before you're done. Whereas, like, if you went through Paul Pierre's unc uh cousins over in India and and called them out, yeah. You can I'm not I'm telling you, you literally can get like 10,000 pills for$65.72.

SPEAKER_00 1:42:16

I don't know why I know that. We're talking about Indians with a dot, not with a feather.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:20

Yeah, yeah. So but and and there's ways to do that so you don't get affect your like account like you'd want to do. I'm not trying to it's not illegal.

SPEAKER_00 1:42:30

It's it's one of those gray area things, you know.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:33

But if you're gonna do that, you also want to know like you don't have like there's some that are like can cover multiple spectrums, and like there's like about five or six antibiotics you probably want because some of the antibiotics all again also affect parasitic stuff, right? So yeah, but again, like there's antibiotics that'll affect it too. But again, if you can get ibermectin, everyone should have ibermectin in because it also works almost like a super vitamin D too with inflammatory stuff. So uh like that is one that that that's probably should be on the list of what people have at their house.

SPEAKER_00 1:43:03

I know two I specifically went after was I dye pills and there's like a smallpox. I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head right now. Smallpox is survivable. It is well, like I I've been vaccinated against it, right? So I'm not worried about me.

SPEAKER_06 1:43:21

But still, still like so.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:23

What actually like if there's a really good book out there, we've talked about before, but they found like so like how the way viruses come, they'll come in and like they'll kill you, but viruses don't want to kill their hosts.

SPEAKER_06 1:43:36

So they they overproduce the initial the initial strain and they they have a high kill rate, but when it comes back around, it it's very low. And when they're starting to see these smallpox deaths and epidemics, it was post-vaccination by these governments because they caused the virus to re to mutate.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:43:56

And so, like, yeah, I mean, I we can get into I don't I don't want to get into that going to you guys banned, you know.

SPEAKER_00 1:44:03

Well, like you know, like especially like the other pills, you know, that's for that that's really just to clean out your thyroid in the event of radiation, irradiation, right?

SPEAKER_06 1:44:14

You know, because like and that's just if you're like having drinking, water purification too.

SPEAKER_00 1:44:19

So yeah, you know, so which is could be you know, I don't believe nukes are real, like you know, whatever. But that's for no, you can't even talk about this, brother. Look, look, let's be honest, let's be honest. If they were real, Israel would have used them by now.

unknown 1:44:34

No, they wouldn't.

SPEAKER_00 1:44:35

We talked about it now. They do not care, they would have used them by now if they're real.

SPEAKER_05 1:44:40

No, bro, they can't kill the goyam.

SPEAKER_06 1:44:41

We're gonna freaking serve their foods on the Sabbath, you know.

SPEAKER_05 1:44:45

They only need all of us, they don't need all of us. 300,000 or something, or whatever the Georgia Stones said, or whatever. They need that.

SPEAKER_06 1:44:58

I think I think like uh what three generations of Las Vegans that care to uh need to talk to you about that, dude, watching the nuke blasts and stuff.

SPEAKER_00 1:45:08

Well, like I it started as a joke. It was a joke that I thought nukes were. Like it was a joke, but it might not be real.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:21

I don't know. We'll see, you know. That's like probably one of the hardest things about this, is like it's hit such an overcorrection, like like everyone just assumes everything is a lie, which I mean, I it's hard not to say, like, but but honestly, like guys, like not everything is a lie, but that's kind of like the trick, right?

SPEAKER_00 1:45:40

You know, so but and and and that was the intended effect. If we were able to stop trusting institutions, like no, I don't trust journalism whatsoever. Like, you you never did. I mean, I never did before.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:53

It is true, too. Especially when they came out to see the military and firefighters, like you never talked to those guys. Screw them, they lied about everything, bro. Like, you tell them what how was happening on the scene, and like our PIO would tell them, and like they would make stuff up, dude. It was ridiculous.

SPEAKER_00 1:46:09

People live in Chernobyl now, yeah. Like, there are people living there. Like tell tell me that.

SPEAKER_06 1:46:18

There's still four reactors in Chernobyl that are still been operating since the blast.

SPEAKER_00 1:46:23

So uh like one thing I've been telling my wife that's like she's like, Well, what's the update with the Iran War? It's like, I don't know. There's so much AI garbage out there, and it's so much censored. Like, there's no way for me to get a grasp on what's actually happening. Like, this Netanyahu thing might be dead, you know. Like, who cares? Maybe. Maybe like what does that affect?

SPEAKER_05 1:46:45

His his 10 buddies are already still there, too, doing the same stuff, so I don't care.

SPEAKER_00 1:46:48

Like the Sanhedrin's still there, and they're still coming through. Hey, the cabal hasn't gone away, brother. Like, we're still at war. Moloch's still there. Yeah, like I so like she's like, What's going on? Like, I there's no way for me to accurately tell, but I can tell you if the draft happens and someone tries to come draft my daughters or my son, they're gonna have to bring you know bachelors and body bags because you're not taking my kids. Like, we will die on our footstep. Like, I don't like that's that's not gonna happen.

SPEAKER_06 1:47:16

I'd go I I would go in their place. I mean, that can't be.

SPEAKER_00 1:47:20

But that's the thing. If you're not once you're gone, they will take your kids anyway. Yeah, probably. Yeah, you're right. So I will just, you know, anybody comes up. There's been some like thing out there.

SPEAKER_06 1:47:29

Like, I guess I didn't know this was a law, but up to the age of 44, if you're a medical personnel in any kind of medical field, they can draft you up to age 44.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:39

Officers, I've never I've never heard of that before.

SPEAKER_06 1:47:42

Officers are recallable forever. Yeah, well, because they're they're a higher fired job, right? I mean, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:47:49

Like you could be 65 years old and be recalled back into service as an officer.

SPEAKER_06 1:47:54

That I mean, uh, my scout master, he he was a quartermaster in World War II, and he got called back on when uh for Korea, he started the first Marine Jet Squadron. But yeah, he was out, done, like you know, and then it's just like hey, guess what?

SPEAKER_00 1:48:12

It was a different time too, but yeah. If they're gonna recall me, they got a month and a half, and then I hit 45 and I'm out. He got nothing.

SPEAKER_06 1:48:21

If they recall me, I'm stopping TRT, I'm stopping like I'm stopping everything.

SPEAKER_00 1:48:28

Y'all gonna get the worst. Y'all are gonna y'all are getting me with you know leukemia or something. Once then again, they also have to deal with my my Latina wife. So Ted Cruz has always been full recharge. Like y'all one thing that we need to understand as Catholics is we are unable to assimilate evangelicals, Muslims, and Jews. It just cannot be done. We don't we we have different first principles, right? There are certain times where we can ally with people that don't share first principles, but when it comes down to it, when we're actually trying to build a civilization, you cannot have allies that have different first principles than you. Let's see. They've been doing this for a while. Ukraine's been rounding up people for a while. In fact, I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 1:49:19

But only the Orthodox, right? Only the EOs, right?

SPEAKER_00 1:49:23

Well, there's Ukrainian Catholics. I know, I'm just teasing that. No, but somebody was telling me, yeah, I don't know if y'all remember this, but back in the old days of RTF, when it was Mike Perrot and the other guy, Joe, apparently Joe lives in Russia now. I was told somebody about this on the phone. I don't want to reveal who it was because I don't know if he was supposed to tell me this or not.

SPEAKER_06 1:49:42

Which one wait, which one was Joe? Was he the body?

SPEAKER_00 1:49:44

When RTF first started, when they were doing like catechesis, yeah, yeah, back before like the you know, the roundtable show they did, it was Mike Perrot and somebody else. And and his the other guy, I think I think his name was Joe. And Mike Perrot basically. stole RTF from him. And you know, Mike Mike Barrett can get over it that I said that. But well he's an officer, so but now there are some things I like about Mike Barrett, you know, because he basically exposed Christine Niles for the you know the idiot that she is, but he's also an officer, so I can't trust him. But uh he's an IT officer too. Yeah yeah he works we don't do shit man like you're you're barely a Marine. I'm just teasing sir I didn't I'm just messing I don't know you the six dudes man the six guys the weirdest dudes world of warcraft was like their biggest thing they left but uh yeah he lives in Russia now and apparently he does a substack about it like I I want to find it and like read it but he talked about how like Russia's the greatest country and like it's you know and like yeah like brother you're you don't have any skin in the game like you can't be drafted there like the other people who've moved there because everybody who's moved to Russia from America has been drafted and sent to Ukraine. Well they're probably using him as a mouthpiece uh propaganda maybe because if if you're known so we got somebody who knows it russia up close right so I'm kind of interested to see what he's saying because he's there as an American that works for a company that I think I've seen that yeah yeah but be a little be a be a little bit more you know expand on that a little bit what's not true and what's fake news because I can tell you for a fact at least six people I that I have read about uh and and seen their commentary is within a year of moving to Russia they got conscripted and sent to the front lines well yeah that I have a it's a documentary came out by some Russian report that talk and shows that like there was a guy that was he was from like a European country and like he moved there and he was all next thing you know he's his conscription yeah like in but Russia's never done that before I mean I don't know why you would ever think that would happen. And no why would they ever do that? You know who's ever done you know Russia's never been known for doing things like that. Bro if y'all knew the things I do about Pelican Plus y'all would lose your man it doesn't make any sense with really big things that have happened recently with uh non-Catholics man I I'm not gonna say anything because you know the people who have told me have told me in trust but bro like I I have a subscription to Pelican Plus but I don't know about how much longer like there's there's a lot of hypocrisy going there.

SPEAKER_06 1:52:47

I've honestly I've been paid attention like this is happy you guys didn't go on so I don't I don't have a lot I don't like I I have limited funds to be able to put on the subscriptions and what are you talking about?

SPEAKER_00 1:52:58

You're retired you got all the funds in the world oh yeah whatever this is such a vague statement read a book which book should I read the dictionary to find out more about this the newsmax matrix isn't newsmax like Fox News or something newsmax is super Zionist but they've taken a a bent away from it lately oh really yeah it's it's look like a I'm kind of under trying to understand what's going on there guns and Rosaries will never have a local I will never make y'all pay for this ever there's no and because anything I don't want to say on here we just go to X. Right if I like on here I can't do anything with firearms or anything so I would just go to X if I need to like there's no like I don't need the money. I do this because I I enjoy doing it. I am as well I'm glad A B didn't go on Pelican Plus as well me too because one two things would have happened either they would have been kicked off or Anthony would be sued for breach of contract. One way or the other that would not have gone well for them because you know love him or hate him Anthony is he's got good instincts and he says exactly what he thinks you don't it and occasionally he will uh he will tone it down to try to keep rapport with people he doesn't necessarily want to get on the bad side of you know because like lately he's he's defended Tim Gordon to me specifically because I have really lost a lot of respect for Tim Gordon lately. I'll talk about military and I hate that because I like Tim Gordon I like his wife but he has really sold himself out for the Johnny cum lately you know six month e-girl right and he's really trying to he's truly trying to fight for the table scraps of Fuentes right now and and Andrew Wilson and it's sad. Like if you just look at his posts uh lately on on X uh and and if you just look at it in the light of he's just trying to get whatever scraps he can from Fuentes and Wilson like things will make a lot more sense to you I haven't heard a lot about Fuentes in a while is he kind of is he kind of like taking a break I don't know I think he I think it waxes and wanes it depends on what the algorithm wants to show you. But I mean I don't want to see Fuentes but he's got some good takes on stuff but man he's like he's still a 26 year old kid.

SPEAKER_06 1:55:34

Yeah he has no life experience he has yeah he's nothing he's very smart like without a doubt he is extremely smart well bro Kant was smart when he never left the city you know like like what experience did he have he just he would talk to the people at the docks right like I mean don't get me wrong he is smart like and he has some good takes on stuff like you can but I mean be a man dude go get some experience and something go go go risk it I mean he doesn't I'm sorry I mean he's probably homosexual but like I whatever dude he's there's a lot of rumors out there like I don't know if they're true but I don't care I mean honestly I don't care whatever dude like when you're he literally goes I don't want to go out with I don't want to see a girl I'm like yeah really but now Gordon's documentary What a woman is is very well done.

SPEAKER_00 1:56:28

So I highly recommend everyone watch it if you can it's two bucks why would you not watch it I will there's no replacing Rob whatsoever. Me and oh I'm not and me and Anthony on the same show would be like putting fire and gasoline together there's there's no counteracting that whatsoever. So that would never be good. I probably will never go on A B just because of that it would just not be good.

SPEAKER_06 1:56:54

I like Ant because he he talks like a lot of us currently I like it because he does he's not self look I will defend Antha he's like I I got I mean I've always been kind of blunt with stuff but I after what you and I see like in the real like the real world and I he sees the real world too where he's a job like platitudes don't help things man like you know it may what we say makes might make you uncomfortable but at least you know we're telling you the truth you know like and I I I respect that a lot from Anthony.

SPEAKER_00 1:57:33

Yeah I agree I like Anthony a lot we butt heads on some things but that's okay I don't have to agree with everybody and everything I mean that's fun right there's no relationship if you're not like disagreeing with some stuff yeah like how boring would it be if I agreed with yeah uh why would you need a blessing to have a YouTube channel do I need a blessing to to go to work now now if I'm teaching the faith that's a different matter right but I don't we don't hear whatsoever. I will you know I might occasionally bring up life circumstances and things that happen to me or if Ra was here it's infallible if Ra was here it would be infallible but that's that's true that's true the Council of Blighton I I liked Gordon's documentary. I thought it was fantastic. I mean I I understand why people so documentaries are documentaries they're what you if you have to understand what about propagand about documentaries they're just propaganda right there it's it's it's information from that's one-sided the the the thing about what a woman is is it's correct propaganda it's nothing but church teaching right and that's a hard part for a lot of people to take like my wife read and it's about and really loves like Steph Gordon's Ask Your Husband because it has it has changed our relationship to the better a lot because it has caused me to step up more as a man and as the husband but it has made her as well and she has understood her role in the marriage and in life and it has made things a whole lot easier on her. She doesn't have to stretch about stupid things that she shouldn't have to deal with. There are some things that I just have to shoulder you know especially being as the man and the husband and the father of the house and occasionally she asks me you know like every day she'll ask me it's like there any news I need to know about and like sometimes I'll be like well you need to know about this like lately my thing lately has been I don't want her going to the grocery store by herself especially with the amount of increased risk of terrorism and stuff. I just don't want her doing it right but most some days like yesterday I was like nothing today. Don't worry about it. You know even if there is stuff going on if she doesn't need to know about it that's not her cross the bear that's mine. You know she just needs to worry about raising our kids you know providing being the heart of the home and that's it. You know occasionally I will keep her abreast of things but that not that much or I fear for the people there in trying to yeah I agree I agree with us I don't know what that means I mean even in safe suburbs if you're in a Margo if you're in a suburb that is a gun free zone uh there's nothing safe about that suburb yeah right that that's gonna be the first target by if you've if you look at any of these terrorists attacks what the mind is man where do you think they go all these terrorist attacks lately have happened in very liberal high density gun free zones. So be just be aware as that bit you know if you're if you're adamant about going out by yourself anyway just be aware look around never never take an eye if you see someone suspicious and you're not comfortable around keep an eye on them and tell somebody about it if you need to go out to your car by yourself you know see if you can get like a a custodian or somebody or a cashier or something at the store you're at to go out with you. We just need to be hyper vigilant right now with everything.

SHTF Respiratory Care Basics

SPEAKER_06 2:01:08

Told us bring her pool stick she has to be really adept with her pool stick for billiards. All right so we have gone two hours which is good this is a good show I enjoyed it does anybody have any further questions before we jump off for the week do you want me to just quick about the respiratory stuff or yes please let's do that real quick so if someone has like someone a kid is asthmatic or I mean there's you know you know as well as I hear there's tons of respiratory issues that we don't probably have time for all that but and I can I can talk about that another time or something. But specifically asthmatics especially m mild to moderate asthma attack you've probably seen this too when you you're on the ambulance you can actually fix that with one to two liters of fluid. Yeah because like it a lot of times it it it precipitates because they're dehydrated and like I I forget the exact what the exact I think it's like if you're breathing 20 to 20 times two times a minute within 30 minutes you can blow off a liter of fluid right like it was a decent amount right so so just hydrating them obviously they if they're breathing too fast you can't I would if I was having a a get home bag or whatever with your fa at your house for a while they took them away and they changed it but primatine mist you can get on Amazon I don't know if they sell the stores anymore but that was a epi epinephrine they changed it to a fet ep ephedrine which is actually a derivative does a lot of same same effects it's not as fast acting but either way have those around also yeah steroids you I mean and that's the thing like with the that Jace case it came with some it came with some power solumedrol methoprednisolon which is I may or may not have bad allergy times when hit myself with that but it's amazing but unfortunately we don't always get it ibuprofen won't really it it can help a little bit with that with the because with respiratory illnesses there's three things right there's bronchospasms which is with the main thing with with asthmatics and then they start trapping air and that's when they have to get intubated to be cycle the cycle the air out and then there's the the atelectasis right the the fluid so you have the fluid so you got to fix the bronchospasm the fluid and then you have to fix the inflammation and that's only going to be fixed with steroid usually anti-inflammatories but if you're over like if you can hit it fast I mean epinephrine will help that right like so if you can get those sprit sprays in there honestly like they have epi pens out there they're super expensive but I always guide people to be buying the ampules which the ampules are like they're like literally pennies. Yeah yeah it might take you it might take you a few minutes uh like a a few seconds not even a minute to pull up what you need to give them yeah but that will that will help them and then also I've been I was looking at a bunch of studies people don't realize this but caffeine if you can get them to swallow caffe any kind of caffeine it actually has bronchospastic abilities you can actually nebulize caffeine to stop bronch there there's there's two animal studies right now but it's working on the same tissues right the different type of squamous cells that you're in your lungs so it and it has been shown that to actually reverse um bronchospastic activity. So maybe get some powdered caffeine and it like I'm I'm talking like should hit the fan scenario like you can nebulize by boiling water and steaming the med, right? Yeah and put amount amount so they like put put get some powdered caffeine and you can buy it for cheap as heck on Amazon or eBay or something and just and just put a little bit of I mean I'm planning on getting some just because I added my coffee but anyway don't tell my like a caffeine suppository. Completely bypass the liver. Oh bro that'd be amazing but then again how's that work when you have the uh cat cat uh AMBM after your coffee but um but yeah so like so think about we could talk about other stuff with that steroids and stuff but um so someone with like that does have like a kid with asthma and stuff it might be good just to be able to get some of that solumedrel or dexamethasone. You can get dexamethasone pill form too which is really good it it they work they both work I think solumedrel works amazing but dexamethasone will last a little bit longer allergies it it seems like dex solumedrol methopredosoline works way better for allergies in my opinion but sometimes docs will talk about above the diaphragm they'll give dex and below the diaphragm they'll give I I don't know if that's a thing but I've heard a couple doctors talk about it. But yeah I mean just to throw that out because I remember one of those guys was asking about that and that's and that's an issue right when you have your kids I mean you're trying to like figure out like I think this is I like I like learning about this stuff.

SPEAKER_00 2:06:12

Like I have some like herbal stuff that I've looked into like for people like because when you get with when the hospitals already go away like you still need to take care of stuff right so and things we're taking care of before we had allopathic medicine right like so yeah and I I think a a good book for that is where there is no doctor is awfully yeah it's it's it's a it's a pretty good reference there's a few others that are just is keep in mind like these are people who sell these books for a living right this is how they make their money so you just kind of read it with that eye when you're reading these things but there's some good you know just like the ranger medicine handbook what is it there's some amazing stuff in there especially like for feel like feel like like I still remember it was like the coolest thing when I was a Cub Scout or Boy Scout like we're like oh yeah man like we had to do uh wilderness survival and stuff and they taught us like let the flies lay their eggs in your wound because maggots only hit eat dead tissue and then once you start bleeding good like that's a thing.

SPEAKER_06 2:07:11

And then like your your urine is sterile you clean it out with your urine you know like people think oh it's just but it's sterile guys a bunch of potassium sodium like spectral is coming out like yeah yeah I mean there's a bunch of stuff like I would I would love to come back on just because like have you talked you we talk about the uh the march assessment because it kind of came to me like when I went on that motorcycle accident on my way home the other day with my wife like like I there was no medical for like 20 minutes right and this chick had a broken pelvis and and like and I I didn't have my I wasn't even at work I was on my way home you know and I just think there's some things that we can tell people that can help out right because those people I they all wanted to help and I love that like that's why I love volley firefighters like they might not know a lot of stuff but they just wanted to be there right and just to have someone there to do it like they want to help hey guys like so it was cool like we had an army what was an army spec guy specialist that was had pulled up and he wanted to help he just all he had was his IFAC he didn't really know like and just to give like a quick like a march assessment's easy that's why they made it is for the military right a bunch of all the oldest dummies right so at least be able to do stuff and be able to like expose like it I think it would be good to do a show on that just to like just kind of hey when you're there it's important to find the injuries right like and you know like and like back to like when we I was on last time the whole adrenaline rush like I don't know I'll think I'm trying to think through stuff like how to get people to figure out how to manage that you know that aren't like us where we didn't who just it doesn't yeah exactly yeah and what we may need to do is maybe not do a show about it but maybe you know we can get together at some point and just create a video about it.

SPEAKER_00 2:08:53

Yeah just like an instructional video about it just like a a wave tops how to go through this stuff right because it's hard to convey a lot during a you know side by side interview like this absolutely yeah because like you know my goal this year because I don't want to do it in the spring was we I want to do a meetup uh camp out shoot and everything it just the schedule didn't work out with life and everything to do it the spring the fall is definitely a much better option I don't want to do it in the summer because y'all won't survive in Alabama y'all just y'all will yeah y'all will see hell and it'll stare you in the face and you won't like it.

SPEAKER_05 2:09:32

Nothing happens between what it in the Texas like nothing happens between 11 and 3 in the afternoon in Texas like in the summer dude just golly we get up early do our our land stops and then you go it's like it's just too darn hot man like this is way too hot.

You know just but and so everyone who enters into the competition at the end of the month I'll randomly select a winner of everybody who entered and you'll get a free avoiding babylon merch. I'll buy it for you mail it to you and just and and this is to promote some of the skills that we that we discussed here. The get home bag is you need that just in case something happens while you're at work you need to be able to get home and have some things be able to help you get home right and especially now that it's starting to warm up we might do some more shooting drills. The first competition we wanted that we had was a shooting drill and the second one we did was a shooting drill but it got cold and it was hard for people to do that in some areas of the United States. But we'll get back into that but in our next one will probably a little bit more bushcraft involved might you know do a video how to start a fire and then have you all go out and do it yourself and everyone who does it will what Rob decides to come to Alaska.

SPEAKER_06 2:12:20

I I enjoy talking to you, man. Like I like I like I wanna you and I know like we this stuff is like it's not hard, but no one just helps people, right? Like you don't tell like there's tons of like moms and dads that like it's like I said last time, man. Like I remember being in DMT class, right? Like and then they started teaching like bandaging and splinting, and like people were like, oh, I think like and they're looking around going, you guys don't know this stuff? Like I've known this five years old and Celp Scouts, you know, like that's how people used to know that. Mamas and dads used to know that stuff, you know, like it's not taught, you know, and then we're trying to bridge that gap here. It's not hard. I mean, you and I learned it when I was kids.

SPEAKER_00 2:13:00

Yeah, I mean, if my little dads can learn it, any of y'all can learn it. They used to give me controlled substances to give to people. Y'all don't understand how low the bar is.

SPEAKER_06 2:13:09

Yeah, I think they don't realize how crazy the drugs we carry. Like most even nurses don't, right? You go in there and like, oh, oh, you can give that? Like, you don't even intubate in a moving vehicle. You can give paralytics, like you can give like you can give drugs that start hard. Like, it's like we just drive. Drive.

SPEAKER_00 2:13:32

Well, sometimes it's just a diesel drip is all we can do, but you know what?

SPEAKER_06 2:13:35

Sometimes like I tell I I told my my students, like you don't even realize like you affect even the like people hate the homeless and stuff. It's like just giving them a blanket in a water and getting him out of the heat for 30 minutes to an hour making them feel like a human. Like remember like like I always I always give an example. Remember what happened when we are our our homes, right? Like, I don't know, they start calling them rocks when you're in we always call them homes or whatever. And like you had to stop every five, six miles, right? And take your socks off for the corpsman, right? But dude, you like I still did I 12 hours at my shift, man. I changed my socks. So like there's something about changing those socks. It's like you took a hour. It was like, yeah, I can't it's I can you can't explain it to your guy, like your whole body feels so revived just by changing your socks. Imagine like this homeless person should be at life. You just give them some air air age air conditioning for 30 minutes to an hour in the bathroom. Yep. I don't know.
