In the dark, I play my dreams.

Thermal culture flows like sweet springs.

I'm the daddy, but the no, I'll see.

Greening the world like it's meant to be.

I'm a culture B-I-O-V, I'm the king.

Back to loving everything.

Bringing change, making it last.

Welcome to episode four eighty four of the

permaculture pimp cast where pimp stands

for permaculture is my passion.

The only pimp cast on this earth that

discusses permaculture preparedness,

practical living and occasionally

prostitutes.

Well, happy Monday.

Is it happy?

I don't know, man.

This has been a strange couple of days.

I guess I'll come to that in a

minute.

My red light dot com.

Yeah, there I am trying to get cute.

All righty.

So I'm going to be running this one

solo today.

William has he has another obligation.

I want to thank everybody that's in the

live house right now.

What do we got?

Who's your pioneer?

Juby, Joe, Nancy.

Hello, everybody out there.

Well, if you got questions, remember,

as always, put them in, you know,

like Nancy did over there,

put them in big,

bold letters so I can see them with

these BCGs.

And those are birth control glasses.

Yeah, not my best stuff in the world.

But anyway, man, is anybody out there?

kind of perplexed with what's going on

with the weather.

I know, I know, I know, I know.

I sound like a broken record on this.

We get up this morning,

and I go through my normal routine where

I'm out there doing my breathing.

I do this breathing method.

In fact, I'm doing a couple of things.

I probably ought to talk about that.

I'm doing this breathing method from a guy

named Erwin LaCour.

It's this French guy who has the world

record in static breath holds.

And every morning I get up and do

this sort of thing.

Now,

when I was feeling when I had some

bug last week, man, it was really,

really tough.

Like right now,

I'm able to hold my breath and you

do it over and over and over again.

So the way it works is you take

a deep breath, you're sitting,

I don't know, a chair, whatever, lay down,

whatever makes you comfortable.

And you take a deep breath and you

hold it for a specified period of time.

Now, if you go through the course,

you'll figure out what that is for you.

It's different for everybody else.

For me,

it's two minutes and thirty four seconds.

and so you do it the first time

then there's a little weight and then you

do it again but progressively the time

gets smaller and smaller and smaller so i

know about how long it takes me to

get through this thing usually about

thirty minutes and then we get out and

do the animals and uh you know get

everything moved every single day it's

like groundhog day but this morning

good night there was something really

really weird happening all this weekend

and i'll come to that in a minute

but i'll start with what happened this

morning we've got this crazy fog which

nobody's going to think okay fog is

unusual but right off the bat michelle

says something man i feel weird

something's not right about this fog and

then all of a sudden we get down

to the sheep and then blow lo and

behold i can't even tell you folks we

haven't had rain in a little while it's

been i don't know maybe five six days

maybe

And all of a sudden,

most of the sheep out there seem to

have mud butt,

like they got a parasite or something.

And that was crazy.

So, okay, that was the first thing.

And then Michelle just couldn't seem to

get one foot in front of the other.

And I wasn't a whole lot better.

So that was number one.

But, you know,

when we went to town this weekend, man,

it was like the craziest stuff kept

jumping off,

like people doing bizarre stuff and

Um, like there was this guy on Saturday,

we had to go out.

We went to the farmer's market in black

mountain on Saturday and, um, good night,

man.

It was,

it was odd because it was more like

a flea market than it was a farmer's

market, but you know,

it had its own little cool vibe there.

There's a fish guy over there.

I got to go talk to man.

I was kind of

My brain wasn't working right when I

walked by and he said hi and everything.

I need to go back there.

If you're listening, bro,

I know you said you listened to the

show.

I'm going to swing by next week.

I'm going to buy some fish from you.

I wasn't trying to ignore you.

It's just my brain was just in a

really, really weird place at that time.

But I'll swing back and make sure I

get some fish from you.

Anyway, get over there.

And then when we're coming back,

we get into Asheville.

And we had to stop for something or

another.

And there's this guy losing his mind,

driving down the road and he's pumping his

fist out the window,

just yelling at the world.

You could hear him over, you know,

we had the windows up and you could

still hear this guy going down this,

this highway.

Well, sure enough,

we run into the same guy yesterday at

a gas station while I had to go

back into Asheville.

We met some friends at this other farmer's

market that operates on Sunday.

So we went over there and sure enough,

run into this same crazy dude, man.

He is like seeing demons and all kinds

of crazy stuff.

I mean, he was probably possessed,

which really,

I'll be honest with you folks.

When you walk through Asheville,

it is crazy.

You're probably going to walk past more

witches by far than you do Christians,

and that's just a fact.

It is really, really crazy.

But this guy was on another level,

completely losing his mind.

I mean,

and then everybody you come into or come

across, just weird, just crazy,

weird stuff.

But that was all weekend.

But anyway, get up in this morning –

Dealing with that fog.

Now,

I'm looking at the weather forecast

because I'm like,

I'm trying to make bone sauce.

You know, no chance of rain.

And then sure enough, you know,

a couple hours later,

getting torrential downpour rain when it

was not even close to being forecasted.

And I'm judging by what I'm seeing in

the chat right now.

I guess I'm not the only one dealing

with.

Yeah, Linda Linden.

I think I'm reading that right.

It's hard for me to see with these

glasses on.

But yeah,

saying the Virginia weather is off.

Absolutely.

It's off here, too.

It's off everywhere.

And, you know, right here at the farm,

it's usually not bad.

I mean,

ever since we installed those chem buster

things, I can't remember the name of them.

Ever since we put those in the ground,

I mean, things seem to be, you know,

we don't it kind of punches through those

chem trails.

You'll see them three sixty around here,

but not necessarily here.

Well,

that doesn't do you a whole lot of

good when the sun is not within that

dome that is clearing out.

But yeah, just weird stuff.

I mean,

like rain coming out of nowhere and,

you know, coming down like cats and dogs.

But it looks like that's just par for

the course these days.

You see the ripples.

You go out and about.

You see the ripples in the clouds,

the whole nine yards.

It's like there seems to be a quickening

of sorts.

And the powers that shouldn't be are

definitely working in full.

I'm not going to sit here and tell

you, hey, man,

expect something to happen because,

honestly,

we should always expect it at this point.

I mean, just remember, when you go out,

make sure you have a means to get

back home.

And I mean, like,

carry your bug out bag,

carry your make sure you have a weapon

on you.

If you know,

if you're comfortable doing that sort of

thing,

make sure you have a means to get

back home.

Because we are living in a world right

now that just seems as Phil was already

crazy to begin with.

I mean, before before COVID.

Now, I'll explain it this way.

When COVID happened, Asheville,

let's say it was a ten.

It dropped to about a seven.

Didn't come back.

When the hurricane hit,

it dropped down to a four.

And it hasn't come back.

And it is, you know, I think it's...

You know, I'm here.

This is what I see.

So I'm starting to wonder if everybody

else is experiencing this same sort of

thing.

Yeah,

Nancy said I had brain fog yesterday

morning and the coffee didn't even help.

You know, it's funny you mentioned that,

Nancy,

because we had exactly the same exact

thing over this weekend.

I'm getting adequate sleep.

I'm doing this new program,

which I'll talk about here in a minute,

that seems to be helping a great deal

on my sleep.

Found an even better baker as of

yesterday.

And yeah, it's like I sat here.

I pretty much don't even drink coffee for

the most part anymore.

And there was a couple of days where

I could not put one foot in front

of the other.

I had coffee.

Now,

imagine if you haven't had coffee in a

while and all of a sudden you drink

it, there should be a massive jolt.

I got nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

I know what it feels like when I

drink coffee,

which is why I don't drink it.

Because for most people,

I guess it might give them a little

energy.

If I've drank the wrong stuff, man,

it makes me psychotic.

I can't make my brain work right.

Nothing works right.

I had coffee and it was relatively strong

and it did absolutely nothing for me.

Yeah, Linda, howdy from monsoon land.

Yeah,

I think we're all going to be feeling

that here before long,

hopefully not in the way that they did

over there in Tibet.

Good night,

and don't get me started on that.

That whole thing over there,

there's some intrepid researchers out

there, people like, you know,

had a little tiff with Amazing Polly,

but she does good work.

talking about, hey,

they're looking at the radar before and

after,

and there was no glacier that fell into

this thing.

I mean, these days,

I don't even know if the footage I'm

looking at is even true.

I mean, like, for example, Charlie Kirk.

Okay, they're telling me,

they give us the official story, okay,

this kid supposedly shot him,

which I don't believe,

and I said right here on this podcast,

ain't no way on earth that was a

.

. .

I was called a conspiracy nut the whole

nine yards.

But hey, yeah, you're finding out now.

I know what a thirty out six will

do, and that ain't it anyway.

When you look at some of the footage

that came out there,

we're seeing doctored footage where chairs

are falling through tables as if it was

made by AI.

Same thing with this stuff over there in

Tibet.

I don't even know it's true.

And honestly,

how much of what happened in Gaza can

I even believe?

This is exactly the world we live in

right now, where everything...

Unless I am physically there and I see

it and I touch it and I smell

it and taste it the whole nine yards,

I am really not putting a whole lot

of stock in a lot of what I

see these days.

So it all stays in that category of

plausible until I get, you know,

definite proof or proof from somebody I

know that's not going to be selling me

a lot of BS.

Anyway, yeah,

so just be mindful of all the stuff

that's coming out there.

I mean,

even Trump just put out something on Truth

Social today of bombing Karg Island.

I'm like, what planet am I living in?

And there were a lot of boomers that

looked at that and thought it was

legitimately happening, and it was AI.

So if they're doing it for that,

I've seen a lot of other convincing AI

out there.

So just keep your head on the swivel,

y'all.

We say stay alert,

stay alive for a reason because, well,

number one, it's a saying in the Army,

but also it fits.

Good night, does it fit?

all right so on to some happier stuff

i'm gonna tell you about this other thing

i started doing now when i when i

add a new something to my daily regimen

y'all i don't remove the other things just

so everybody knows i mean if i do

i may lessen it a little bit like

every morning i was doing the rebounding

and i could see the benefit in that

y'all if you don't know what that is

i'm basically bouncing up and down on the

trampoline or i'm jogging in place

whatever the case it can take many forms

You know,

having not done that for a little while,

I'm telling you what,

Barbara O'Neill is right.

You get up and you rebound,

it kind of sets the whole...

engine for the day it really really does

and i was doing it for a while

there for an hour every single day maybe

not all at once you know do it

in the times that i could so maybe

fifteen minutes here twenty minutes there

maybe even thirty minutes occasionally

even the whole hour at one time but

man i really felt the needle move well

i stopped doing it and i'm realizing okay

that was a mistake so i need to

you know graph that one right on back

in

And then of course the breathing,

I was doing Wim Hof breathing.

Now I'm doing this Erwin LaCour breathing.

I don't even know that it has a

name, but if you look up his name,

Erwin LaCour on X, French guy lives in,

I want to say Arizona or something like

that.

Absolutely genius.

I'm going through his course and he is

an absolute genius.

Anyway,

totally different kind of breathing

program,

but I'm finding out there are benefits in

both.

Even though Erwin says his is better,

Um, there are times where Wim Hof,

when I'm stressed out in a bad,

bad way,

Wim Hof breathing is the way I go.

So I'm doing these things for myself,

despite what every expert out there tells

you, get out there,

do this stuff for yourself and find out

what works.

And then maybe if you're not sure,

remove it for a little while,

like I was talking about with the

rebounding and find out whether or not you

feel the needle move in a big way.

Well, anyway,

one of the latest things I'm doing,

it's called the Olive Tove.

Aleph, it's like A and Z,

but in Hebrew, in ancient Hebrew.

Aleph and then Tav.

And it's the Aleph-Tav body system.

And it's by a doctor, a naturopath.

He's like a PhD naturopath.

I never did know how to pronounce that

properly.

But anyway, that's what it is.

And his name is Dr. Dig this name,

Dr. Alfonso Monzo.

Alfonso Mondo.

Say that ten times.

Anyway, this guy,

he's got a quirky sense of humor.

He's been on Mike Adams a couple of

times.

And I bought his program a while back.

And then now he was on Mike Adams

a little while ago.

And he's got this tutorial course.

Been going through it.

And in a nutshell, folks, I mean,

this is going to sound a little bit

strange.

Imagine doing acupuncture on yourself,

but using your hands.

I know there's another methodology out

there.

I don't recall the name of it,

but this is totally different.

And he's come up with his own system.

So every night when I'm in the, oh,

what do you call that heat box?

The sauna.

Yeah,

every night when I'm in there sweating

like a slave in that sauna,

I'm listening to another course.

And I started doing it like four nights

ago.

Folks, I'm here to tell you,

I think this thing is legit.

He's got a program.

I mean,

let's say you're a lady and you have

female issues.

Let's say it's endometriosis.

Okay, well,

let's say you touch this part and you

touch this part.

And he explains where all of these...

Imagine, like I said,

imagine doing acupuncture,

but you're using nothing but your own

hands.

Now, it can be done on someone else,

but he came out with this course,

and this is what I found attractive about

it,

is that you could do it on yourself.

And I was thinking, hmm,

in light of the world we're in right

now,

this might be one of the most beneficial

ways

preparedness courses everybody should

take.

Now,

I'm not going to publicly announce that

until I finish this thing and give it

the old test drive.

But there's even things you can do.

Let's say a person's bleeding out or

having a heart attack or a stroke.

There are certain places you can put your

hands on their bodies

and it'll arrest the whole nine yards.

Well, like I said,

there are things you can do on yourself,

and I've been doing them,

and I'm not going to kid y'all.

Folks, I'm telling you,

every night that I've been doing these,

I felt like my sleep is on another

level.

It really, really is.

I was never a big person for the

longest time to put a whole lot of

stock in the sleep.

I was usually a person,

I kind of prided myself to a certain

extent of being a person that really

didn't require much of it.

Well, that's a lie.

And, you know,

since I've done a one eighty on that,

but I'm here to tell you all of

Tav and you can get the whole course

or you can go to Dr. Monzo.

I don't recall the name of his website,

but I'll bet money there ain't another Dr.

Alfonso Mondo on this planet.

I'm pretty darn sure he's the only one.

Yeah.

Anyway, naturopath, PhD,

the whole nine yards,

and not that that means anything to me.

Because at the end of the day,

if this thing doesn't work, well,

what good is it?

But I'm thinking, what if I found myself?

Okay, imagine.

You're out and about.

You're doing the thing.

Bam.

One second after just unfolds.

One second after.

You're out there, I don't know,

let's say your loved one has an issue,

and the only thing you have on you

is your hands.

Now,

if there is a healing modality that can

put the brakes on it until you are

able to get some sufficient medical help,

I can't think.

If this thing is legit,

and I'm putting if out there because I

haven't examined it all the way,

but the things I have done seem to

be moving the needle in a big way

for me.

But if this is legit,

This is the ultimate prepper course in

terms of health and healthcare.

I mean, obviously,

you want to have bandages and all that

kind of stuff,

but you may be in a position where

you don't have it,

or it may be an illness that doesn't

require a bandage.

So I was thoroughly impressed when he was

on with Mike Adams,

and I'll let y'all know how that course

goes, but so far, man,

I'm a little blown away by what I've

been able to do.

He shows you all these points on the

body,

And so you do this self-care.

Now, in a perfect world,

you're doing it on someone else or someone

else is doing it on you.

Well,

he came up with this thing to do

it on yourself,

which I think makes the most sense because

not everybody in today's busy world where

I know so many people right now are

doing multiple jobs just to try to put

bread on the table.

But let's say you got a desk job.

And you're able, and you are,

like there's one position, for example,

for let's say you're having a problem with

your, I'll just throw it out there,

let's say it's your kidney.

Okay,

you may touch all of Tav position number

nine,

and I'm guessing on what this is because

I don't know it that well yet,

and it's on the back of your,

you know,

right around your shoulder blade.

And let's say the other one goes on

the inside of your elbow and you just

hold it there for five minutes.

Let's say you got an office job.

Okay.

Maybe you're able to do that for five

minutes or just a minute or other things

by just taking your thumb and wrapping

your hand about,

or one of your other fingers,

depending on what ailment you have and

what it corresponds to folks.

I'm here to tell you when I'm doing

my deep breathing in the morning, I added,

remember I stack functions when I'm doing

my deep breathing in the morning,

I'm calling it deep breathing while I'm

doing my, um,

Irwin LaCour breathing,

I'm also doing my fingers at the same

time with this olive top system.

Then when I'm out there,

after we get done moving the animals,

I take off all my clothes,

and Michelle and I both face to the

east with very little clothes on at all,

trying to do that Jack Cruz thing where

you're looking at the morning sun,

and I'm looking directly at it.

At the same time,

I'm also doing my memorization for psalms.

And at the same time,

I'm also doing the finger manipulation.

So I'm stacking three functions all at the

same time while I'm looking at the

sunrise.

So I'm saying all this to say, folks,

look,

even if you have a job or whatever

the case may be,

this might be a course that makes sense

for you.

In fact,

I'll try to get him on this show

to see if now that I'm doing this

thing a little bit,

I'm going to get him on here and

see if we can't talk about

how this might be a benefit or a

blessing to everybody else that may be in

the same.

I just don't understand why,

if there's a healing modality like this,

I don't know why everybody wouldn't want

to know it.

So I'll try to get him on the

show and we'll talk about it.

I didn't expect to talk about it so

much, but doggone it.

Folks,

I'm trying to let y'all know every single

thing because I know that this country is

heading to hell in a handbasket minus a

miracle.

I'll preface it with that.

Without the Lord stepping in,

things are about to get really,

really stupid.

If for no other reason than just the

oil stuff,

if what we can believe about that is

unfolding,

things are going to get crazier.

Healthcare,

people are not going to have the money

to go in there and spend a pile

of money to go to the emergency room.

Well,

what if you're able to prevent it to

begin with?

What if you're able to do this stuff?

Or maybe even teach your kids, hey,

Junior,

when you're having a little anxiety

attack, try this.

Or do that.

Or put your hands on these different

places because it really works that way.

So...

Yeah, I'll try to get Dr.

Mondo on here and get to talking about

this and find out how it may make

sense to a whole lot of folks out

there.

But I wanted to do it at least.

I've been wanting to get this guy on

for a while,

but I bought his book a while ago,

but I didn't want to get him on

here until I actually gave it the old

college try.

Because until you have some kind of

understanding,

I just don't feel like I could ask

intelligent questions until I'm getting in

here.

Because if it doesn't work, I'll tell him,

hey, man, well, number one,

I wouldn't have him in here.

But anyway, folks,

I'll just leave that one right there.

So let me tell you some other things

that happened this weekend.

Spelt pizza.

Never had that one before.

But our friends invited us over to this

farmer's market.

It's almost like a private farmer's

market.

It's not private.

It's this group of families.

And I want to say they call themselves

Twelve Tribes.

I think that's what the name of it

is.

And they have this communal kind of farm.

And by the way,

this is the only time I've ever seen

communal relationships on a homestead

actually work unless they are bound by

some religious construct.

I have never seen one that works ever,

ever.

Now, there are one, two,

there are three outside of the Amish that

I know of that

that actually make it work,

and they've done it,

and they've been doing it for a very,

very long time.

These folks are among them.

And like I said, you know,

like with the Amish, they don't have any,

everybody has their own little piece of

Idaho.

They don't all live under one roof.

And a lot of these intentional

communities,

when I was first looking into them back

into Kansas, man, you got wife swappers,

nudists, the whole nine yards, man.

Ain't even trying to get mixed up in

that kind of stuff.

But anyway,

these guys got a farmer's market and it's

in the South side of Asheville.

So we went over there and they were

going on about this pizza.

And so it's made out of spelt,

and they also make sourdough spelt bread

over there.

Folks, I ain't going to lie to you,

straight up.

I had no idea how, number one,

good bread could be.

Michelle makes better bread than anybody

because she can put the work into it.

She just ain't got the time to fool

with it right now.

In the winter,

that's going to be a different matter

altogether.

You ain't ever going to catch me eating

a Wanderer.

But this bread here, you know,

the place in Mars Hill is really good.

But I have zero, zero,

zero reaction at all eating this spelt

bread that is every bit as good as

anything I've ever had with zero reaction.

And Michelle is even more sensitive than I

am.

So we went out here with our friends.

We ate these pizzas.

And I'm expecting to have to run to

the bathroom, you know,

asking where the port-a-pot is the whole

nine yards.

Nothing.

So I said, okay,

this has worked out well.

Let's go ahead and get a loaf of

this sourdough.

And there's a lot of folks calling their

stuff sourdough,

and it's a bunch of garbage because it

ain't.

Believe me, I'll know.

Sooner or later, I'll know.

Anyway,

she got a loaf of that sourdough in

a baguette,

and it was also sourdough made out of

spelt.

Folks, zero reaction at all.

I ate that bread on the pizza yesterday.

I had it for dinner last night,

had it for breakfast this morning,

and had it, I don't know, twenty,

thirty minutes before I got into this

studio.

And I had some leftover brisket,

and I'm like, okay,

I'll make me a little sandwich out of

this.

No problems whatsoever.

So spelt,

you might want to put that on your

Azure list over there, folks.

You know,

I don't know what these folks are doing

any different,

but I have never had a better reaction

to eating some kind of grain than I

did for spelt and Michelle the same way.

So, yeah,

I'll try to give it for anybody that's

in the vicinity, man.

I'll try to get you a better location

for these guys.

But, man,

I was and am thoroughly impressed.

All right, so other things here.

Bone sauce.

We got plenty online for those that are

blowing me up about it.

But I want to talk about something else.

And Joel Salatin actually addressed a

little bit of it in his blog that

he sent out.

I think it was today.

And it has to do with Trump's executive

order.

As soon as this thing came out,

I heard what it was,

and I remember just kind of scratching my

head like, what?

This ain't news.

I mean, what?

I mean,

what am I supposed to do with this?

So in a nutshell,

you're telling me that farmers can go

ahead and eat their own food.

That's all it's saying in this executive

order.

Every Trump tart out there, and yeah,

I'm saying it that way because at this

point, if you can't see this guy,

and folks,

for ones that are going to write in

and send me an email, oh,

you're a liberal Democrat.

No, I'm not a Democrat.

I'm not a Republican.

It's not red state.

It's not blue state.

It's the state against you.

And the second we all wake up to

that,

the more we'll realize it doesn't matter

who that puppet is in the White House.

He's going to do what they say or

he's going to wind up like JFK.

You dig?

And a couple of other presidents that

didn't toe the line.

That's another story altogether.

But anyway,

comes out with this executive order

telling everybody, oh, yeah, wonderful.

Happy days are here again.

And sure enough,

All these boomers out there,

and I'm not dogging all boomers.

I'm just saying these are the ones I

saw.

They're in here celebrating like it's the

second coming.

And I'm like,

if you read what he said,

I'm sitting here scratching my head.

And I'm like,

unless I'm missing something here,

all he's saying is that farmers can

butcher their own food.

Well, yeah, we always could.

And there are those of us out here

that don't care about what your rules are

and are going to do it anyway and

give it or sell it to whomever we

want.

And I can't even believe I got to

sit here and treat the meat that I

process myself like I'm a frigging drug

dealer.

Can't cross the state line with it.

Can't sell it to anybody.

But I could take that same meat,

put it in the smoker out there,

go to a potluck with all of you

in this audience,

and it's perfectly legal.

Explain that one to me.

Well, I said before,

I don't want to follow unjust laws and

I ain't going to start now.

So piss on Trump and the rest of

that administration and the one before him

and the one before that one,

which was Trump and the one before that

one, all of them,

all of them can kiss my dimpled Chad,

because at the end of the day,

I'm not following your rules and I ain't

asking for permission.

Free people don't.

As long as you're not harming anybody

downstream of you,

I don't care what you're doing.

Well, I care.

I mean, obviously,

I pray for your soul and stuff like

that.

I do care about what you're doing,

but I'm not going to try to legislate

what you put into your body.

But yeah,

this fool signs this executive order like

he did somebody.

What is this like to hide all this

beef that came in today?

Probably ain't even beef.

I mean, for all I know, man,

it's some Koreans that they snatched up

and put in a grinder.

I'm not eating that garbage,

but I know that there are people out

there that have to.

And it burns me up that they even

got to deal with this kind of stuff.

But anyway,

bottom line is that executive order is a

bunch of hogwash.

And.

And Joel just basically corroborated

everything I just said because he came out

with his blog today saying almost word for

word what I said.

Like, what am I missing here?

So you just gave everybody permission.

I mean,

and Joel is not being kind anymore.

Well,

he's not going to talk the way I

do,

but you can tell in his language that

he is pretty much done with this

administration because we've been lied to

up one side and down the other.

You know,

Trump was supposed to be the person to

come in and said all this stuff, right?

And we've all been betrayed,

but there are the hangers on.

And then if you look at some of

the comments in Joel's blog,

They're coming down on him.

Not all of them,

but there's a couple of idiots in there.

And it is what it is.

So it's okay for me to process my

own stuff.

Wonderful.

It didn't solve anything.

The second you try to sell it,

all of a sudden you're a criminal.

All right.

So next attempt.

Look, y'all,

if you're using CBD oil like I use

every single night,

You want to get it from Nessa's because

she has CBDA,

and she is an absolute Nazi about how

that stuff is processed.

Don't buy that gas station garbage.

Don't buy any of that stuff in town.

She's got the best stuff out there,

and that's exactly the reason why I

endorse it because, folks,

just like everything else on this show,

I don't tell you about it unless I'm

using it.

Also, the mushroom guys,

we'll have them linked down below.

Man,

I can't even think of the name of

the company,

but I even bought more of his product.

It seems to work extremely well,

and his processing seems to be second to

none.

So I'll get that one on here the

next time.

But, yeah, his mushroom stuff,

I'm using it every day as well.

Anyway, Nessa's Hemp,

ten percent off with promo code PERMA.

You want some of these ball and blue

light blockers?

Bond Charge, B-O-N, Charge.

Fifteen percent off with promo code PERMA.

Remember, y'all,

this blue light is a killer in so

many different ways.

And if you knew the full extent of

why they use this blue light in a

nutshell, it makes you more suggestible.

That's why all your TVs out there,

What's the primary,

what's coming out of them?

Blue light.

All your LED light bulbs,

take it from me,

a thirty-year journeyman electrician.

All of them, blue light.

They eliminate the full spectrum because

they know blue light will make you highly

suggestible.

They're hitting us thirty ways to Sunday,

and then these scrawing mirrors that we

call phones, all blue light,

unless you change it around.

There's software you can get for your

computer.

It's called Iris.

If you have an iPhone,

you can triple-click it on the side.

You'll have to look that one up because,

folks, y'all,

I'm a bit of a freaking Luddite when

it comes to this stuff.

Had to look it up.

Anyway,

there's ways you can take your phone and

get rid of all the blue out of

it when you have to.

But anyway, even still,

when the sun's going down or close to

it, believe me,

I got these glasses on all the time.

So I got these amber color.

uh for you know when it's still daytime

out there where you can still have a

little bit of blue light and then i

got the red for when you shouldn't be

having any blue light at all so yeah

bond charge fifteen percent off with promo

code perma and then finally soil savers

anybody wanting that you know where to get

it we got the link down below all

right so let me get into some of

this good news her

Check this out.

U.S.

beekeepers sue the USDA for allegedly,

dig this,

allegedly imported organic honey misleads

customers and violates federal law.

Folks, I'm a big, okay,

I wish I knew the name of the

show on Netflix.

It was,

I want to say Rotten was the name

of it.

And I saw this thing a few years

back.

They were talking about, in fact,

even in this article,

they cite the fact that, what is it,

like, uh,

eighty percent of the honey sold in the

U.S.

is imported.

And the honey is so good,

according to this documentary, the honey,

when I say so good,

I mean good as a forgery,

that they're producing in China,

that the only way anybody can tell that

it's fake is by looking at it under

a microscope.

And even then, it's touch and go.

That's how good they are at making the

synthetic stuff.

But yeah,

they'll put it in the fancy little

bottles.

They'll drop it off in the store,

the whole nine yards.

And this is precisely why with our honey,

I don't even sell it.

We trade with it like, you know,

the people,

some really awesome folks that we know.

He's a blacksmith and his wife does farm

work and raises the kids all day and

makes them ball and cheese.

You know,

we trade them honey for milk or honey

for cheese or whatever the case may be.

Because I guarantee you,

a lot of these so-called organic honeys in

the store,

eighty percent of them are fake, y'all.

Anyway, they're being sued,

and the beekeepers,

the beekeeper associations are suing the

USDA for allowing this to happen.

It's pretty astonishing when you break

down how much of the garbage,

there's so much of it, y'all, where,

you know, they're not allowed to,

a lot of European countries will not

accept a lot of this garbage,

and guess where it goes?

Right here to the United States of

Amnesia.

But it does give me a little bit

of hope

Knowing that there's people out there,

you know,

bringing the task or at least getting

this.

That's why I'm calling it good news

because they're at least getting the word

out.

Folks, find your local beekeepers.

I really don't.

I might in the course of a year,

I might eat.

I don't know.

At best,

maybe eight ounces of honey in a year.

Maybe I go through phases where I'll have

a little bit more, a little bit less,

but I'm usually taking it for medicinal

reasons or stuff like that.

I'm usually not a big sweet tooth person,

except for that cake Michelle just made

for my fifty fifth birthday.

By the way,

I am actually fifty five now.

I was telling everybody for the last

couple of years.

I was wrong by a whole year on

my own birthday.

That's how little it matters to me.

But it matters enough for my beautiful

wife to sit here and make the best

chocolate cake known to humankind.

And yeah,

I'm coming out of retirement for that one.

So you better believe I'm going to put...

She's down there making...

She's putting that thing together right

now.

But...

Too late in the day for me to

be partaking,

so I'm going to have a little bit

tomorrow,

and then I'm going to have to find

a way to freeze all this stuff.

I know one thing.

I need to get Ben over from Renewed

Homestead.

Ben could eat this whole doggone thing and

not even bat an eye.

Talk about a guy with a sweet tooth.

Well, I think me and Ben both,

but anyway, yeah.

Got to be careful with that honey, y'all.

Here's the next one.

StudyLink's beverage choice to dementia

risk finds coffee and tea protective.

I'm bringing this one up.

Folks, hang on a second.

I got to get a drink.

All right.

Yeah.

Oh, shoot.

I had some questions in here.

Sorry, y'all.

Yeah,

this study talking about the beverage

choices and how it leads to dementia.

Bottom line,

here's why I brought this up is because

every single time I got to go in

a grocery store for something,

You know,

it's usually something small for the most

part.

It's usually not a lot of things.

You know, like, for example,

I ran out of flipping onions,

so I had to go in there and

go buy a bag of onions.

And what else?

What was I after?

I don't recall,

but it was like maybe two items.

And as I'm passing everybody in that

store, mostly senior citizens,

maybe I'm a stone's throw away from that

myself.

Anyway,

I'm passing mostly senior citizens there.

And in just about every single case,

everybody has soda in their carts.

I'm like, okay, they got Coke,

but they're buying the name brand soft

drinks,

but have best choice generic beans or

bread or whatever the case may be.

And I'm like, man,

we sure got a lot of things backwards

here.

I'm not dogging these folks, man.

I know that

Everybody is doing whatever they can,

and people got sugar addictions,

they got alcohol addictions,

they got drug addictions,

they got whatever addictions out there.

I'm not dogging you for that because the

powers that shouldn't be really want us

that way.

But the thing is, every single cart,

no matter what it was,

they all had sodas in there.

And this is exactly what they're citing in

this article,

is that if you could just lay off

the soda...

And even if you were to replace it

with coffee or tea,

you'll find out that there are at least

benefits to drinking those substances.

Like I said a moment ago,

I gave up coffee.

I didn't give it up completely.

I'll have it once a week,

maybe on Saturday when I go to this.

I'll stop by this one highfalutin coffee

shop when we leave the farmer's market.

And I'll go there.

I mean,

they know exactly what to make the second

I walk in there.

I drink that once a week.

But honestly, out there,

they got this yerba mate at that farmer's

market we went to.

So I've started drinking some of that this

morning.

I said, man, let me try it.

Well,

it gave me the same kick as coffee,

but I didn't have the jittery or losing

my mind effect.

I'm like, okay, yeah,

I can dig this stuff.

So I made a little tea out of

it.

Yeah, it works out great,

but the point is to this article,

you got to put down the soda, y'all.

You got to do it because it's killing

your brain,

and especially the diet sodas are actually

worse.

If you read this article,

the diet sodas are actually worse than the

stuff with high-fructose corn syrup in it.

I mean,

that is absolutely crazy because these

artificial sweeteners,

things like –

and some of these others.

If you knew the history on that, folks,

you wouldn't touch it.

You had people like, believe it or not,

he was a lobbyist.

He was a former Secretary of Defense under

Bush II.

I can't even think of his name right

now.

But anyway,

he was working for the pharmaceutical and

the lobby back in the day,

and they got all of these sweeteners

passed,

even though they knew it was burning holes

in the brains of all the mice they

tested it on.

Yeah,

all that stuff that's in Diet Coke and

Pepsi and all that stuff,

Yeah, they got all that approved.

Rumsfeld, that was his name,

Donald Rumsfeld.

And he got all that stuff passed.

And so here it is.

It's in our drinks right now.

But, folks, you want to stay away.

I know I'm telling you stuff you might

already know,

but I'm saying this is good news because

there are alternatives out there.

Honestly, when I am really,

really thirsty,

when I come out of the sauna,

I'll tell you the thing I like to

drink.

It ain't soda carbonate carbonation.

When you are dehydrated, really you, you,

it makes all the difference in the world

for your thirst.

Plus there's a lot of health benefits in

drinking carbonated water.

Anyway, I use a brand called girl Steiner.

I ain't even sure I'm pronouncing it

right, but it's, it's a,

you know,

a lower deuterium depleted water and it's

also carbonated and it is mineral rich in

a big, big way.

So when I'm fasting, I love this stuff.

And I also love it when in other

cases where I'm like, man,

I'm a little bit dehydrated.

Yeah, I'm reaching for that stuff.

So it tastes better to me than a

soda ever would.

In fact,

I can't remember the last time I actually

had one.

It might've been when T and Amber were

over when we were butchering a sheep or

something like that.

Anyway, the last one.

Last good news article, pumpkin seed,

a plant protein powerhouse.

Okay,

a couple of reasons I'm bringing this up.

Number one,

we're about in the pumpkin season, okay?

And Michelle's got a bunch of Cherokee

tans growing down the hill.

Folks, I'm here to tell you,

if you haven't had a Cherokee tan,

get one.

And you're going to find out the permanent

culture pimp daddy is not leading you

astray.

It has the most pumpkin-y of pumpkin

flavor you've ever had in your life.

She's even grown another one.

I don't recall the name of it.

It has another Native American name to it,

but I don't recall the name of it.

Haven't tried that one before,

but I'm telling you what.

If you ever have pumpkin bread,

pumpkin pie, pumpkin roll,

pumpkin anything,

and it was made out of Cherokee tan,

you will lose your ever-loving mind.

You will never, ever,

ever buy that stuff in the store again.

In fact, you will take this stuff,

you'll cook it down, you'll puree it,

and you'll can it for your own self

all year long because i'm telling you it

is the most superior pumpkin taste i've

ever had in my life but in addition

to that i wasn't even trying to talk

about that every single day i eat pumpkin

seeds why well number one with the

pumpkins you're already getting you're

getting about eight ounces of protein

Eight grams of protein per ounce.

But here's another reason why I love those

seeds in a big, big way.

When I have pigs,

what's my number one dewormer?

Pumpkin seeds.

Or just give them the whole doggone

pumpkin.

Because I'm usually going to process in

the fall anyway.

And if you're going to, you know,

you want to definitely kick up the pumpkin

near the end of it because they'll eat

the seeds and everything.

Pumpkin is a natural dewormer.

I eat pumpkin seeds every single day on

my salad or every day I eat.

I eat a salad about eighty percent of

the time every single day.

Today's one of those days where I actually

didn't.

But there are certain things I make

absolutely sure are in there.

Number one,

we got a lot of fermented stuff.

Make sure that's in there.

And it's also a vehicle for me to

put in things that I ordinarily wouldn't

want to eat,

like some of the bitter things out there

that are really,

really good for you but don't necessarily

taste good by themselves.

But I also throw in pumpkin seeds every

single time because it's not only a

dewormer for your animals in a big,

big way, it's also a dewormer for you.

That's exactly the reason why I wanted to

cover this article because I'm like, okay,

they either don't know about this part or

they've kind of forgotten about that part.

So that is a big, big deal.

I take pumpkin seeds every day,

and I'm going to continue as long as

I can.

So there's your three good news articles

out there.

Man,

I can't believe how much time I've eaten

up already.

And before we go back,

let me go ahead and hit some of

these questions right here before I get

into the main thing.

Nancy says,

I'm switching back to my light bulbs.

Yeah, back to incandescent.

I'll tell you what I had to do,

Nancy.

And folks,

incandescents are about as difficult to

find as bin Laden.

So what I had to do,

believe it or not,

I had to buy a bunch of freaking

appliance bulbs because they come in forty

watts and they got to have them for

the refrigerators and stuff out there.

I still to this day cannot find legit

incandescent bulbs on the shelf.

Yeah, they can sell them,

but ain't nobody carrying them.

So I'm getting the forty watt bulbs.

I man,

I must have kept them in businesses local.

I hit everybody.

I hit Ace, hit Lowe's,

hit this local hardware store,

hit this other store around the corner.

I can't even tell you how many of

them incandescent refrigerator bulbs is

basically what I got.

It's come to that.

I got refrigerator bulbs throughout this

whole house because I am not going to

use

those leds i for the longest time i

did when i found out how dangerous that

light was believe me everything came out

of there so uh yeah smart move nancy

uh oh someone nancy says also happy

birthday thanks um i'm still older than

you happy birthday yeah thank you and

happy new year i'm getting some of that

too all right oh somebody says what brand

of pumpkin seeds oh yeah juby joe um

I don't really know the brand.

I go through one of the, oh shoot,

what do you call that place?

There's a lot of one,

maybe a lot of weirdos around here,

but there's a lot of specialty shops and

little small health stores and stuff like

that.

They're all over.

And that's usually the place I go.

They have them in a bulk section.

You can save a little bit of money

to get them that way.

But then I also get my walnuts that

way too because they're organic.

I get my organic walnuts.

Brazil nuts,

eating three of them a day will give

you all the selenium you need.

Walnuts, really good for your brain.

They kind of look like a brain when

you look at them.

And also the seeds.

I try to get them there as well.

But there's some other good... Well,

I can't vouch for a lot of other

good brands out there, but...

These people may be weird as a

three-headed cat,

but they are absolutely fastidious about

the products that they have in their

store.

So, yeah.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes.

I usually don't even tell anybody,

but I did this time because I was

talking about Michelle's cake.

Yeah, my birthday to me, y'all,

I don't remember a single birthday since I

was twenty-five.

So to me, it's just another number.

I really don't pay much attention to it,

although I do put a lot of stock

in everybody else's birthday.

It's just an arbitrary day to me.

But anyway, thank you all so much.

All right,

so we don't have anything from Eric.

Boy, everybody's leaving me alone today.

EMP Shield, y'all,

fifty bucks off with promo code PERMA.

Been a journeyman electrician for almost

thirty years.

And I've installed a lot of transient

voltage surge suppressors all over this

country,

mostly in car plants and tire plants for

some reason.

And I'm here to tell you there ain't

a better one out there in the business.

If anything gets Kentucky Fried downstream

from that EMP shield,

they're going to cover you for twenty five

G's.

So definitely get out there.

And remember,

EMP might be a legit concern, no doubt.

But lightning is a much bigger concern and

there's not a better lightning arrestor

out there.

Hold steady.

Another drink.

Sorry about the dramatic, Paul.

And thank God for the cough button because

I went down the wrong pipe.

All right.

So, the convenience trap.

The reason why I want to talk about

this today is...

You know,

one of my favorite songs from an artist

named Keb Moe,

he's one of the real true artists out

there.

And folks, like everything else,

I don't listen to music that plays on

the radio.

I love old school country music, you know,

the stuff where people actually wrote the

song.

You know, Waylon, Hank,

all these people actually wrote their

songs and performed them.

Country these days is about as bankrupt as

every other genre of music.

I mean, and rap...

In the eighties, when it first came out,

you know, it was fun.

It was about going to a party.

It was just ha ha ha.

Then it became something that was really,

really bastardized.

So these days, my favorite genre,

I don't have a favorite genre of music

because I listened to it all.

I mean, it could be heart music.

I listened to that.

If it's really good,

the music I love more than anything are

people that maybe most people haven't ever

heard of.

One guy did get a little bit of

notoriety.

His name was Keb Mo and he wrote

a song.

It's called Victims of Comfort.

And that whole album that he had there,

it may have been his first album.

I don't recall,

but there was not a bad song on

that entire album.

But one of the songs that always stuck

out to me is, uh,

we're victims of comfort.

And what he describes is he basically gets

into the pollution problem.

But for me,

it's saying to so many other things.

And I still,

every time I'm scrolling through and I do

occasionally listen to music, um,

hit, that's,

that's one of the things I do listen

to.

And every time I hear that song,

it makes me think about,

it makes me take stock of myself,

you know,

because convenience always has a hidden

cost.

It always has and always will.

I mean,

I guess the intent is to give us

more freedom and all those things like

that, to be able to do other things.

But it seems like every single convenience

that's added to us, like for example,

these phones or computers,

all this stuff was supposed to make our

lives easier.

And now people are more hectic and frantic

and

pulling their hair out now more than they

ever have been.

And if I'm not careful,

I honestly find myself in that same boat.

Or how much time do you spend in

front of this thing?

It's so darn convenient because you can

make a phone call, clearly.

You can do your banking on your phone.

You can reach out to people in the

social media platform.

You can do all these things.

But it comes at, I think,

at a very steep cost because remember what

I was saying a minute ago about that

blue light?

Well, also,

they're programming you every single time

you do that.

There's not a keystroke you use that isn't

collected.

That whole data center in Bluffdale, Utah,

they made that thing for the express

purpose to keep tabs on everybody.

This came out years ago, years ago,

and still most people have never even

heard about that thing and the water usage

it's had forever today.

But with this freedom,

we're trading skills, knowledge,

I mean, privacy, clearly resilience,

I mean,

because of all these things make us

victims of comfort.

In fact,

I probably should have titled this show

that very thing, Victims of Comfort.

You know, even the grocery store,

which I was talking about a minute ago,

it creates this illusion of choice,

but that's not where food comes from,

not real food for the most part.

I was out there shooting shorts.

Since I'm not able to do full-length

videos right now,

I'm trying to put shorts out there in

all the platforms because I think it's

important.

Now,

do you get paid much for that on

YouTube?

Absolutely not,

but they don't pay me anyway.

They intentionally try to suppress,

but I'm thinking I can get

maybe more people to see some of this

information that they can take and glean

and start doing on their own if I

can wrap it in about a minute or

so.

And it seems to be working, I think,

in a big way, at least for me,

to be able to scratch that itch to

get this information out there,

and it might just hit the right person

that needs to hear it.

But anyway...

Most of the people of all of us,

and I'm not coming down on anybody out

here,

they have no idea where that food even

came from.

They have no idea that most of that

tropical fruit that's in there,

you probably shouldn't,

you should be eating quite sparingly in a

big, big way.

And the reason why is your body is

not adapted to the tropics unless you're

in the tropics listening to this right

now.

And most of that stuff, just like,

and I'm going to go on again,

if William was here, he'd laugh at me.

I'm going to go on about the avocado

oil.

I mean, perfect, perfect example.

That scandal just broke out,

just came and went.

Not one company addressed anything about

it.

You know why?

Because they know,

I think they realize that the populace

simply does not care.

And they won't because they think this is

where I get my food.

But as I was saying a minute ago,

If you look at the driving I have

to do to go get the stuff we

eat, okay, if I want bread,

I got to go to South Asheville.

If I want cheese,

I got to go over to Bernardsville or

I got to go over to Lester.

If I want milk,

I got to go back over to Lester.

If I want these,

so I source everything I possibly can by

not going to the grocery store.

Now, is that an inconvenience?

I don't think it is because it gives

me a chance to at least interact with

other people like myself,

like all of you out there that feel

the same way about the food they eat.

You know,

they're not wanting to buy this honey in

the store.

So guess what?

I provide that to them.

I don't want to buy that cheese off

the shelf over there.

But I know this lady that's making this

cheese.

And, you know,

I treat this stuff like it's Fort Knox.

I mean, I eat it very sparingly.

And maybe that's the way it's supposed to

be.

You know, when you raise pigs,

your bacon consumption differs quite a bit

because you know what you realize the

first time you process a pig,

let's say it's a Duroc or let's say

it's a red waddle.

You realize real quick that even if it's

a, let's say a three hundred pound pig,

you're probably only going to get off that

one pig.

If you are very lucky,

you might have thirty pounds of bacon on

there when it's all said and done.

If you're very lucky.

Now, try to titrate that over a year.

Thirty pounds of bacon,

considering the American mindset,

it gives you a greater respect for that

animal when you realize, man,

this is one pig,

and I get thirty pounds out of this.

How do I ration that over the year

and make it work,

especially if you want to eat it every

morning for breakfast?

So you've got to think about those kinds

of things,

and doing life this way means that it

gives you a better relationship with

on where and how your food comes from.

And maybe we aren't supposed to eat some

of this stuff every single day.

Now, I like, okay, so if you're me,

if you're a butcher,

there's a whole lot of that pig I

can turn into breakfast sausage, okay?

Or if I got people here that I

know are not going to want to eat

that, well, I got sheep.

I got sheep breakfast sausage that I make

as well.

So you got your options out there,

but it all requires skills.

And you can't, just like Joel always says,

you can't Google experience.

So you got to get out there,

get your hands wet.

And that's really the sad part of a

lot of it.

We've outsourced feeding ourselves in a

big way, growing vegetables even.

Even a little bit,

we've outsourced a lot of that.

This is why I was encouraging so many

people, look,

even if you have a garden out back,

maybe consider growing some microgreens in

the spaces there.

Raising chickens,

not everybody is going to be in a

place where you can do that.

I get it.

But you do what you can,

even if it means doing it in a

windowsill.

Wherever you can, try to grow something.

Even if it's mushrooms in a closet,

it makes all the difference in the world

when it's something that you procured

somehow.

Broccoli sprouts, folks,

it doesn't get any easier than that,

and they are power-packed in a massive

way.

You know, we've even outsourced... I mean,

good night, man.

There are people out there that got their

whole house on an app.

I've never seen anything like it, man.

I mean,

you could sit here on this app...

See who's out in the front door.

See who's out back.

I mean,

I knew a guy that networked his entire

house.

But, you know,

there's a downside to all that, too,

because now you're being bombarded with

EMF.

Twenty four seven.

You know what, man?

There is a reason.

I mean,

they can go ahead and put them.

I don't know what those little flock

cameras that they got for the front porch

out there.

What happened to a good old fashioned

people?

It's what I use.

I mean,

or a dog or whatever the case may

be.

I know everybody's going to be a little

bit different, but it's crazy.

And now we got apps to go shopping

for you, for crying out loud.

I mean, we can have dinner, groceries,

prescriptions,

practically anything brought to the front

door these days.

I mean,

when did walking outside to go to the

store become so big a hassle?

I've known people,

even William for a little time did

DoorDash, had a friend, Tracy,

who did it for a while.

And I am floored that people actually do

a DoorDash for some Starbucks coffee.

I'm dead serious.

I didn't even know that was a thing.

You will do a door dad to drop

off some coffee to some clown who can't

even walk out the front door to go

get or better still make it themselves.

Folks, this is a really crazy place.

We've got a disposable culture in so many

ways.

Going right back to that Keb Mo song.

Folks, if you get a chance,

go out there and listen to that song.

It's called Victims of Comfort by Keb,

K-E-B Mo.

And tell me if this song doesn't touch

you, especially now.

It always did to me because I always

had this relationship, I think,

with Earth.

But it always touched me in a big

way.

But, folks,

we've got a disposable culture in a big,

big way.

There was a time,

even when I was a kid,

when something broke, man,

you tried to fix it.

Nobody had money.

Everybody I knew was broke.

So if you had a bicycle tire, man,

you patched it up.

And honestly, us young men at the time,

you felt like a grown man by being

able to patch your own bike tire.

You almost wanted a flat so you can

go out there and do it.

You know, it's crazy.

I mean, we've gotten to the point even,

and this, when you really think about it,

it kind of blows me away when I

think about it.

We don't even own things anymore.

I mean,

think about even our entertainment.

We don't even own it.

We got a subscription out there,

most of us.

Yeah,

I got a bunch of DVDs out there.

I don't watch them, but I got them,

you know,

mostly like Marvel movies and stuff like

that.

You know, some, you know,

love stories like Thor, you know,

romantic comedy, you know,

romantic comedies, you know, stuff like,

you know, Avengers, things like that,

you know.

that are totally in my wheelhouse.

But the bottom line is we got death

by a thousand ninety nine ninety fives.

You know,

you got all these different got meal

plans, heated seats, security, I mean,

software,

all these crazy things that are going on

right now.

But the thing that really floors me more

than anything is now this convenient.

We don't even own

I remember people had BCR collections and

stuff like that.

Nobody has that stuff anymore.

All of it is in the digital universe.

And I think it's just indicative of this

culture,

and hopefully it doesn't get to the point

where they're directly putting it into our

minds.

Look, y'all,

technology in so many ways is awesome.

But how many of us really,

I mean seriously,

can navigate out there without a GPS?

I'm talking to myself as well.

You know,

if I'm going someplace I've never been,

I know how to read a map.

And I'll tell you where really where the

rubber hit the road in a big,

big way over here.

And when I was prepping this show and

thinking about what I wanted to talk about

right after Hurricane Helene, we had no,

despite NPR taking a bow for this,

none of the radio stations around here

were telling for three days,

NPR didn't even mention how bad this thing

was.

And I remember going to my town in

Mars Hill and people lined up one side

down the other on the gas station.

A lot of people were passing through.

Gas station was out of gas.

Everybody was stuck there.

Here's the crazy thing.

Because the phones weren't working,

there were a lot of people that had

no idea how to get where they were

going.

They had no maps.

the maps I think that were available

inside that particular corner grocery

station gas station they were all gone and

there were people that had no idea how

to get where they were going simply

because how are you going to use your

phone you can't there were no signals

anywhere which by the way if you get

down a brass tacks on that I think

a lot of that was by design it

was weird because of

The internet went out before the power.

And if you know how that sort of

thing travels up and down those poles,

you know that that's an impossibility.

Anyway,

there's a whole lot of red flags about

that whole Hurricane Helene thing,

but I'll cover that at another time.

But seriously, because there were no maps,

even if they had maps,

I'm wondering how many people even know

how to use them.

I'm deadly serious.

I remember my dad teaching me how to

read a map when I was a kid.

And us feeling like a grown man because

here I am navigating him down the road

while he's driving.

And we're trying to go to,

I remember it was Keystone Lake back in

Oklahoma.

We're going to go there and go fishing,

just me and him.

And I'm navigating him the whole way

there.

And I just felt like, man,

this is really, really awesome.

But how many people could do that anymore?

You know,

there's a whole lot of skills and a

whole lot of conveniences that we're just

flushing down the toilet right now.

In a big, big way.

And we have got to wake up and

smell the corruption before we fall asleep

drinking the hemlock.

Because, folks,

I'm not going to blow smoke here.

I'm not a black pillar,

even though people want to call me that

or tell me, hey,

can you do away with the black pill

stuff, folks?

If you only knew the full extent of

where I think everything's going right

now, you ain't seen black pill.

Bottom line is,

we rely on these conveniences so much

That it's putting us in the grave.

I really believe that in so many different

ways.

We are totally averse to any kind of

discomfort,

even if it means something that's going to

benefit us.

We don't want to do it.

We'd rather sit in front of these screens.

You know,

my son takes my grandbaby out to the

park and there's nobody there.

When my grandbaby was here,

we'd go to the park.

There's nobody there.

Kids are not playing anymore.

They're not outside playing football like

we did when I was a kid.

We'd just grab whatever kids were around

and we'd play football or kids playing

baseball or whatever the case may be.

All those things aren't happening because

these conveniences are too convenient.

So, folks,

all I'm saying is maybe you ought to

get out and touch grass a little bit

more.

I'd make it a point every single day.

In fact,

it's kind of impossible for me not to

considering my vocation

But even the only real exposure that I

have to any tech these days for any

sustained period of time is when I'm doing

this podcast or when I'm in an interview

or whatever the case may be in those

capacities.

But I'm very,

very careful because at the end of the

day, this convenience,

like George Washington said about

government,

is a dangerous servant or a fearful

master, depending on how you use it.

So hopefully that was a blessing to

everybody today.

I'm hoping this goes far and wide.

And by the way,

I did an interview with Mike Adams.

I was on there in the Health Rangers.

So yeah,

feel free to go check that out.

Folks, it's getting crazier and crazier.

And I just want to tell everybody, look,

we pray for y'all.

We ask you to pray for us because

things are getting weird.

They're getting crazier as if it couldn't

get crazier already.

It's getting crazier by the day, it seems.

And so you know what that means.

Until next time, we've got to stay alert,

stay alive.

We'll see you.

I'm grooving with the truth, truth, truth.

Feeling nature's truth, truth, truth.

Listen to the earth, they've got us.

The last seeds of the chain,

watch the world spin.

From the smallest sprout,

till the harmony begins.

In the cycle of life,

where the magic's alive.

Turn it to the beat,

till the fire and thrive.

So much weird stuff in the song.
