Burma water flows like sweet springs.

I'm the daddy with the know-how, see.

Green in the world like it's meant to

be.

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

Back to loving everything.

Bringing change, making it last.

Welcome to episode four ninety of the

Permaculture Pimpcast,

where pimp stands for permaculture is my

passion.

The only pimpcast on earth that discusses

permaculture preparedness and practical

living.

Well, good to be here with y'all.

Finally, I got the mic turned on.

Oh my goodness.

Yeah, I was sitting here thinking, what?

Because honestly,

there were a couple of other technical

things that were going on before we went

live.

I was trying to hit the live button

and all of a sudden I got other

stuff flying up on the screen.

But anyway, here we are,

episode four ninety.

How you doing, son?

Oh, pretty good.

We finally got some dog on rain today.

It lasted five minutes total,

but at least it's wet outside.

Well, yeah, take that, man.

We've been getting rain.

It seems like every day.

But that DPE, I think they must.

I don't think I know that they were

doing a lot of manipulation.

I wish I would have taken a time

lapse video of what happened today.

Is that right over the center of the

property?

I mean,

and then for like a mile all the

way around was a patch of blue.

Everything else was,

you could tell where they had,

you can ask your mom this morning when

we were doing the chores,

you could see where the chem trails all

cut off.

It was like four of them in line

and they cut off as if they couldn't

spray where we are, man.

I need not be saying this stuff publicly

because now they'll say, oh,

you think you, oh, you ain't so bad.

Wait,

we got brew number two to put down

on you.

So, um, yeah, maybe,

but at least other people are finding out

about it.

Yeah, I sure hope so, man.

All right, y'all.

This episode, as always,

brought to you by the Sovereign Health

Summit.

That's going to be October twenty seven

through the thirty first.

TPC Tango Papa Charlie will get you five

percent off.

Got Barbara O'Neill as the headliner.

Also,

my red light dot com BB twenty five

will get you twenty five percent off any

single item.

BB thirty will get you thirty percent off

any bundle item.

All right.

So we're going to jump right into it.

Yeah,

I'm there was something that hit me on

the way.

As we were coming in, I was like,

man,

I have five different ideas and I'm going

to write them down.

So, of course,

I'm screwing up things around here.

Well, anyway,

I'll just jump right into it.

Well,

we've had so much moisture around here

that we've been moving the sheep every

single day.

Now, for a lot of people,

when you get through the summer months,

they kind of slow things down.

But we've had so much moisture that we're

rotating them like we're in a spring

flush.

So that's still happening and that's still

going on.

So I'm not exactly...

The rain seems to always come in the

afternoon as of late.

And I'm not believing that it's...

Son, it's crazy.

There's lightning for hours all the way

around us, three sixty,

but nothing above us.

And there's this patch of blue,

which makes me think that this DP,

this defense of planet Earth device that

we have seems to be doing its job

as it was touted.

So that's good news.

But yeah, we're moving.

So it's hot.

today was one of those days where i

think i was experiencing the lensing

effect i know what heat feels like and

it's a different heat when it feels like

it's cooking you on the inside so i

think before the dpe could transform that

stuff before it got down to the ground

of course there's a constant haze

everywhere

and i was like man i'm i'm out

here sweating profusely feeling like i'm

being cooked and i can't seem to explain

it but um anyway it didn't stop your

mom from going out there getting so much

basil it'll make your head spin i got

oh my goodness man this pesto that she

makes i guess i'm going to be making

it from now on i guess i took

on that chore she's got so much dog

on basil that we got to process

That is making my head hurt because I'm

trying to figure out exactly what I'm

going to do with it.

I know I'm going to have to freeze

dry a fair bit of it.

But on the same token, I love pesto.

In fact, I eat it every single day.

And if you don't know what pesto is,

it's basically basil, olive oil,

pine nuts, and I think garlic.

And salt.

Oh, and also Parmesan.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You usually get enough salt through the

cheese if you get some good aged cheese.

You need one of those bunya pines, Dad,

with those big old...

The Aborigines used to tell the white

colonists to come over or the prison...

The penal colony people used to tell them

to park their camps underneath the bunya

pines because of these big old pine cones

that when they fall,

they like total vehicles and stuff like

that.

But they would tell them to put their

camps under there.

So when the tree and then they would

go shake the tree at night to wipe

out a whole group of them at a

time.

But the cool thing about it is that

the pine nut is like the size of

your fist.

And whenever we busted one open at Jeff

Lawton's, I was thinking, man,

this would make a whole lot of pesto.

That's probably what you need now,

given all the basil that you have.

oh man i guess i'll have to be

in the subtropics to be able to pull

that tree off but um man i wouldn't

i wouldn't say no man yeah but pine

nuts i mean i eat this stuff every

single day as of late i've been eating

it for breakfast lunch well i don't really

eat lunch that much but for breakfast and

dinner i've been going absolutely nuts on

this stuff lately and it you know it

tastes even better when you get it fresh

so that's exactly what i'm up to all

right so um

Right now, other things we got going,

freeze drying,

lots and lots of freeze drying.

That thing is running pretty much twenty

four seven right now.

And one of the little tactics I'm doing

right now is I got meat out in

this freezer that's been in there for over

four years.

Still perfectly fine.

It's good meat.

Nothing wrong with it.

But I'm there's only two of us here

and we got eight freezers.

So, you know,

until William shows up with my grandbaby,

you know,

we don't have a whole lot of help

to eat this stuff up.

So a good way to use it up,

if you're like me,

is maybe look at ways to preserve it.

Now, you could can this stuff.

In fact, on your great grandmother,

on your mom's side, you know,

most people would pressure can pork.

She's in her nineties and she's still

water bath cans pork and she does just

fine with it.

So, um, yeah, so I'm,

I'm doing a lot of freeze drying and

making sure we're using it up that way.

And plus look at the signs of the

times William and I were talking right

before we went live here about,

and I know present company excluded right

here in this chat, but good night, man.

I can't even believe.

The number of people who have no awareness

to what's going on right now.

I mean, I know football kicked off,

so I know that's got to be one

thing.

But it's just astonishing.

All they know is that the prices are

high and they got to come down.

And they're not thinking about what the

consequences of this would almost

certainly mean if it stays the way it

is.

You're going to have truckers,

not the independent truckers out there,

the guys that are owner-operators,

the gals too.

They're probably going to park their

trucks because it may not make sense for

them to move stuff after a while.

So you might see shortages.

You might see a whole lot of stuff.

And before this month's out, I mean,

I'm predicting something big is going to

happen.

I don't know what that is,

but I suspect something that's going to

get everybody's attention is going to

happen.

But you know what?

This is the time.

If you're going to put back some stuff,

man,

I don't know what other shots across the

balance.

But in fact,

I was talking to William before we went

live here.

I've been pretty much on the phone all

day for a number of reasons.

And I'm talking to friends on there that

are like, man,

am I the only one that is seeing

what's going on?

And I'm like,

me and Michelle are having the same

conversation over and over and over again.

So yeah, stay alert, stay alive.

You know what time it is.

Yeah, I talked about the chemtrails.

Hey, by the way, also,

anybody trying to reach out to me,

once again,

back to having email and text message and

phone call issues, telling William, yeah,

the people I want to talk to or

people I know or people that have my

number seem to can't, for some reason,

they can't seem to get through.

But got no problem at all with some

telemarketer getting through.

Don't think that's an accident when it's

text messages, emails,

the whole nine yards.

So, Hey, it is what it is.

I mean, and it's, it's crazy.

So I'm sure the powers that shouldn't be

are doing everything they possibly can to

stifle us.

And, um,

I know everybody is seeing the diesel

prices where they are,

but I just wanted to tell you what

I've observed.

From Friday to Saturday, son,

diesel went up in my town.

Twenty cents overnight.

And this is not a place and a

whole lot of other places,

the place where you live in a place

where a lot of other folks live.

I mean,

there's a lot of good old boys driving

diesel trucks.

That's how they get around.

And they're eating that cost.

But, folks,

I've said it in that front porch talk.

Every single thing you have runs on

diesel.

I know I've said this a million times.

But a whole lot of farmers out there,

this ain't making sense for them.

It's going to get crazier if there is

not some solution overnight.

Or not overnight,

but I'm talking in the near future.

And it wouldn't shock me if some things

come online and all of a sudden the

price comes down a little bit.

But if it stays the way it is

for any long period of time,

and you've got to also consider the fact

that all these players in the Middle East

and otherwise are taking shots and

knocking each other's oil offline.

It seems coordinated.

I don't believe,

I'm just going to put this out there,

I don't believe that all these countries,

these nation states are all working in

their own best interest.

I really don't believe that.

And Bobby Spags, I think,

was the first one to point it out.

In fact,

what made him become a Christian or made

him stop being an atheist.

And what was that?

When he saw that every single nation fell

in line for COVID.

Iran did it.

Russia did it.

When all of us could see right through

it and tell that it was a manufactured

lie.

But all these countries made their people

get it.

The only ones that didn't,

all their leaders came up dead.

Like the one in Africa,

I think it was Guyana,

and the one in Haiti.

The one in Africa tested a goat and

a papaya,

and they both came back positive.

Both of those guys died under really

suspicious circumstances.

But every other world leader,

I'm saying all this to make a point.

Just like in World War I.

And you've got to look at some of

the work of people like Anthony Sutton and

a number of others.

During World War I, the official story,

if you ever go to the World War

I Museum in Kansas City, is absurd.

Basically,

they're going to tell you that Archduke

Franz Ferdinand got smoked.

And by the way,

they even admit that that was in a

conspiracy.

Anyway, he gets smoked,

and then all of these interlocking

alliances just decided they're going to go

to war.

No,

if you read people like Anthony Sutton and

Eustace Mullins and a number of others out

there,

these people that expose a lot of occult

history,

you'll find out that really all of these

people, in fact,

if you were to look at the King

of England and put him alongside the Tsar

of Russia at that time, Tsar Nicholas,

If you were to put them side by

side, you can't tell the difference.

They look like cousins.

You know why?

Because they were.

All of these ruling elite were all related

to one another at that time.

And so it was a lie.

It was a lie agreed upon,

which really is what most history is.

It was a lie agreed upon that they're

going to thin the fat a little bit.

So how did they do it?

And they've been doing this for time

immemorial.

They have a war.

They get rid of all the uppity young

guys that are coming up and it shuts

them up before they get a chance to

really, really get stupid.

So that happened in World War I.

I think to a lesser degree,

there was other motives in World War II.

But I got a feeling that what we

see unfolding right now with all of this

stuff happening and all these things

unfolding,

I think I wonder if it's just an

orchestrated plan.

I really do.

where all of them ran on it and

we are the pawns in the game.

And so it takes me right back to

what I said a moment ago.

Stay alert, stay alive,

get your house in order, y'all.

I don't, I mean,

is it going to happen today?

I don't know.

Andrea said, good night, man.

Oil change, sixty five bucks.

Yeah,

this is absolutely getting crazier and

crazier.

One last thing I want to say,

and actually two more things, son,

if you don't mind.

Yeah, go ahead.

I know I've been yapping for a while

here.

Look, I'm fifty-five now,

grew up in the eighties,

and I've been seeing this trend as of

late of a whole lot of people that

are my age somehow,

some way wanting to relive their glory

days.

I mean, like, huh?

This ain't new.

Well, I don't know.

I think it's worse in my generation.

Like,

they're having arguments over the best

eighties guitarist or this and that.

I mean, I grew up in the eighties,

man,

but I really don't spend a whole lot

of time looking in the rear view.

Yeah.

Are there regrets I have in my life?

Things I would have done different,

said different, parented different.

there's a whole lot of different things I

wish I would have done differently.

But of all the things I go back

and I recap and think about, not once,

over the last year even, even longer,

have I thought about

How wonderful it would be to be back

in the eighties.

I just don't think that way.

Maybe I'm just a weirdo or, you know,

maybe somebody grew up in the seventies

and they do the same thing,

but it seems to be a greater phenomenon

with my, with my generation.

I don't know what that's all about,

but I've been seeing a lot of it

lately and I'm not that guy.

And if you are that person,

you're letting a whole lot of good life

pass you by because you're too busy

worried about what happened years ago.

I know people that,

family members that have not progressed

since high school.

And here they are in their sixties,

and if they ever get the cognizance to

look over their history,

they're gonna realize they wasted their

lives.

You wasted your life.

Every time you'd be around these guys,

they're talking about what they did in

high school football.

I'm like, oh, my.

To the point where my own dad's like,

really, guys?

Not just high school.

Middle school, dad.

I've heard the stories.

The middle school stories were being told

to me.

And I'm like, and at that age,

I was thinking, I don't care.

And I'm like five years removed.

Like, I don't care.

How do you care?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's and by the way,

if you're over the age of twenty and

still bragging about what you did in high

school, examine your life.

You really need to examine your life.

But I'm seeing a lot of it.

And then the last thing I'll say is

I was listening to Mike Adams today.

He had a scientist on there.

I think Mike kind of took a step

back when I was on his show and

I brought up transmutation.

Well,

he just had it confirmed by this other

scientist that was on there.

So maybe he's not thinking I'm such a

weirdo after all, because I brought up,

I got a book down there sitting on

the coffee table.

It was by Louis Cravant,

a French scientist that basically proved

that transmutation was happening.

And then whenever you bring it up right

now,

mainstream science or mainstream whatever,

a lot of people kind of, what?

No,

that can't happen without nuclear

reactions.

Well, yes, it can.

In low energy nuclear reactions in Louis

Cravant,

proved that years ago.

So anybody wants to know more about it,

check out his book.

All right, son,

let me kick it on over to you.

I've been yapping too long.

that that physicist i think he was uh

interviewed right before i was interviewed

because whenever i showed up to the studio

uh mike and todd pittner both seemed to

be uh like mentally exhausted after i

don't know i haven't listened to the

interview yet i don't know what that guy

was telling them but they seem to have

gone through it it was an excellent

excellent interview i think everybody

should listen to it it was absolutely

fantastic

Okay.

Yeah, I'll definitely check it out.

Um,

so as I was getting ready for the

podcast, I was writing down, you know,

the farm news section and stuff like that.

I was going to write down that,

you know, still absolutely no rain.

We've been forecasted to have rain today,

yesterday, the day before all those days.

And then about like a couple of days

ago,

before that happens,

they get rid of the chances of rain.

But they keep teasing us with it at

the end of the like the ten day

forecast and stuff saying, oh,

rain's going to come in just a couple

of days.

Don't stress.

It's going to eventually come.

It hasn't come.

And earlier this morning,

I guess it was afternoon.

I was hearing lightning while I'm writing

down the farm news and everything.

I was hearing light or a thunder going

off in the distance.

And I looked out.

And there was nothing really to create

thunder at the time.

So I was thinking maybe it was like

some heavy equipment or something like

that.

And then I go back out and check

again.

Cause I hear it again.

And then there's like these patches of

storm clouds.

It's like,

you know how you look at a storm

system and it's a conglomeration of a

bunch of clouds together that, you know,

consists of the storm and it all moves

together for the most part.

This was like all individual clouds with,

uh,

like bluish sky between the clouds,

like very,

very small clouds that all looked like

individual storm clouds by themselves.

But it also,

if you look past those clouds,

you can see up above that there was

the mogul pattern in the upper atmosphere

haze that was going on.

So I wonder if the storm,

there was a storm.

I wonder if it got broken up before

it could actually start dropping rain.

Cause I don't know how much,

You can look at a cloud and see,

man, that's a real heavy,

weighed-down cloud.

That thing is going to release water here

before too long.

That's what these individual clouds look

like,

but none of them are releasing water.

Then those clouds pass by,

and then I come back inside,

and then I'm hearing rain as soon as

Emily and the baby,

they went to the store.

I hear rain as soon as they start

pulling back up.

I come back out, and there's

no rain clouds really next to us.

Like you could see it off in the

distance,

but there's rain falling and then it stops

and it lasts for maybe five minutes,

real light rain.

Uh,

and then it feels miserable outside after

that.

It didn't cool off at all.

It got hotter and stickier after that.

And then it rained a little bit again

for maybe another five minute period.

And then that's been our extent of rain

for the past three months.

Uh, that's, that's all the rain we've got.

Now we've got rain coming up in the

future, supposedly, uh,

I don't know if that's the case or

not there.

Every time you hear like a long term

forecast, you hear like, oh,

it's going to be a really wet winter

for us here in Texas, really cold,

wet winter for us in Texas.

And then the next forecast you hear,

they're backtracking on that.

It would be just much less frustrating if

they would just say, hey, y'all,

I don't know.

There's too many factors involved.

I don't know what it's going to look

like this winter,

but I'll keep giving you a heads up

as I figure it out.

You would have a lifetime listener from me

if somebody were to just come out and

admit that.

Yeah.

But now that like and I'm kind of

stuck on doing the fall gardening prep

without having to dump a bunch of my

own water into the garden because the

garden, the surface,

the first couple of inches of soil right

now are pretty doggone dry.

Like they're to the point where they're

hydro hydrophobic.

So I'm going to waste a lot of

water just to get them to the point

where they're not hydrophobic.

So I'm kind of waiting for the rain

to come in to an extent just to

break that hydrophobic layer.

And then I can start watering in the

garden and then start getting the fall

garden established right now.

Yeah, Andrew is saying, William,

watch Weatherman Plus.

I do.

Yeah,

I check him out every once in a

while and stuff like that.

He's cool.

I like him better than the rest.

That's for sure.

Yeah, fall garden.

We got it.

Just kind of got to wait on a

little bit rain and cooler temperatures,

which is another thing that's good is that

this morning was the first morning I

walked outside and I wasn't thinking, wow,

this is absolutely miserable already.

It was actually kind of cool outside,

coolish, lower humidity and very,

very tolerable.

And I think we're finally getting cooler

temperatures.

As of like yesterday, it's still been,

despite what the Weather Channel is

saying,

it's still been like in the hundreds.

They're saying it's been like ninety two,

ninety five, stuff like that.

It's still a hundred.

If you look at any local thermometer

around here,

it's saying a hundred plus degrees every

single day.

Uh,

and then today I think was the first

time we haven't been like in the hundreds

or anything like that.

So hopefully we get cooler temperatures.

Um, and like, y'all,

I said this last episode,

but like the nature is dying around us,

like the forest, the grasses,

the pastures, stuff like that.

Those things are dying and drying off and

drying out and stuff like that.

Like I have an Elm tree in the

backyard.

It's already losing leaves.

It's already losing leaves.

And this isn't like an early like the

elm that we have in our backyard isn't

one of the first trees to lose leaves

around here.

But it's one of the first ones this

year.

And then what else was I going to

say?

Oh,

just a reminder that mountain readiness.

I'll be teaching at mountain readiness

this year.

It's coming up in October.

It's going to be right before the

Sovereign Health Summit.

So if you're coming up for the Sovereign

Health Summit.

a little bit earlier and come to the

mountain readiness festival it's an

awesome festival uh like dad has said

multiple times in the past it's the best

home setting preparedness festival you've

never heard of some of the there's just

awesome awesome classes available there

and awesome teachers are available there

as well so

Yeah,

I can't think of a better time to

get that done.

Let me hit some of these comments.

Yeah, old Texas Coot.

Yeah, he's right on the money.

National debt and oil prices were tied

together back in the seventies,

the petrodollar.

So yeah,

they're kind of joined at the hip.

Cindy Lou says, yes,

because we're getting older.

and the future doesn't look great i'm

fifty five myself i think that's relative

i mean i i i can see that

depending on how you look at it but

not i i'm not looking at it that

way i'm trying to carry on the mission

the lord's given given me and i'm trying

to do the best i can you know

walk with ray with patience the race that

is set before me so um

Yeah,

I don't see what good it does going

back.

I don't even listen to eighties music.

I mean,

if it comes on every once in a

while and I'm with Ben or Denise or,

you know,

maybe once in a while we talk about

Van Halen or something like that,

but it is not at the forefront of

my mind.

I mean, it's, it's, you know,

it's a novelty and that's really nothing

more than that.

Yeah.

Real quick, dad on that note,

it's different.

It's one thing to recount funny stories

that happened in the past.

it's completely different to wish that you

were in that time again,

because that was the best times of your

life.

I think those are the two different

things.

That's what you and Ben and Denise do

is recount funny stories,

not wish that you live there again.

Yeah,

that's definitely not in my wheelhouse.

Yeah.

Ken or Amy.

I don't know which says I'm fifty six.

The only thing I miss from the eighties

is my hair.

Yeah, I can definitely relate to that.

Well,

that's definitely not Amy because Amy has

hair.

Yeah.

Weatherman plus Ryan Hall.

See, when you brought up Weatherman Plus,

I immediately thought, okay, yeah,

I don't recommend anybody listen to Ryan

Hall.

He is pure garbage.

And that thing,

he was eating large quantities of caca on

the internet when he came out with that

radar,

which was clearly weather manipulation and

said it was all birds migrating.

and there's some people on x and some

of the others i don't spend a whole

lot of time on social media but your

mom told me about it and then sure

enough i don't know if the phone was

listening and just brought it up i go

to x to go check on something and

sure enough sure enough

That's the first thing that popped up

people dogging this guy up one side and

he deserves every bit of it.

All right.

So, uh, let's see here.

Nessa's hemp, off with promo code perma.

Also,

if you want some of these ball and

blue light blockers,

go check out bond charge,

off with promo code perma.

And then finally we got soil saviors.

We've got a link for that down below.

All right.

So let's talk about some of this good

news right quick.

Um,

Beyond ginger,

eight foods that may support immune

health.

And I'm bringing this up for a reason,

y'all.

We are in a time right now.

We are in a place where every single

day they're dropping stuff from the sky.

They're doing electronic warfare.

It's in the food.

You can't escape it.

I mean, there was a podcast.

I wish I'd taken so much media sometimes

that I can't remember where I sourced some

of this stuff.

But they were talking about how this

person went and had their blood tested,

and it looked as if they were jabbed.

And they weren't.

And so we gotta be thinking about these

ways.

So anyway,

I'll give you the highlights here.

Garlic, citrus fruits, and bell peppers.

Your mom pulled all the purple bell

peppers,

I don't know why I can't say that,

out of the garden the other day.

and get as much color as you can

all those anthocyanins are really really

great for you i don't even know what

they are but mike adams says they're great

for you so uh we got purple we

got and we even got purple okra out

there and your mom's pickling some of that

right now and by the way folks if

you haven't had pickled okra you don't

know what you're missing son am i wrong

Oh, no.

The first time I found out about pickled

okra,

it was a it was at my friend's

house.

It was a twenty year old jar that

his grandmother canned.

We opened it up and we ate the

entire jar all at once.

It was the first time either one of

us had it.

It was awesome.

And been ever since.

Yeah, that okra, folks,

I know people think, oh,

it's got to be slimy.

I put something about it on X the

other day.

Jack Spierko wrote on there.

What about the slime factor?

I'm like, dude, there is no slime factor.

There is no slime when you pickle them

or ferment them.

And Debra says, yeah,

okra is our favorite.

Yeah.

So that is definitely, oh, yeah.

And Andy points out nicotine helps.

Yeah, those nicotine patches and,

you know, take, remember, nicotine helps.

is not addictive look if you doubt me

go check out the work of dr brian

artist and it's the crap they put in

that stuff that makes it addictive that we

for sure just got a strike we for

sure just got a strike from that okay

well you know taking that back um

So anyway, garlic, citrus, fruits,

bell peppers, turmeric, or tumeric,

depending on how you pronounce it,

fermented foods, and mushrooms.

And I'm getting all of those except the

citrus.

Every single one of those I get on

a daily basis.

Oh, leafy greens and also fatty fish.

I get those too.

So I'm trying to practice what I preach

here as best I can.

And a lot of that stuff that we're

sourcing right off the property here,

your mom's got lettuce all up and down

some of these beds out back.

So no, Andy, it's not your fault.

It's mine.

All right, here's the next one.

Lion's Mane mushroom capsules offer a

convenient addition to your daily wellness

routine.

Now, I eat Lion's Mane for,

I don't know if I've said it here

or not,

but I eat them every single day.

It's good for your mood,

it's good for your mind,

and it's also good for sleep.

And there's a lot of other,

I'm giving you the high points there.

But anyway,

they're talking about the capsules,

but I go,

this is one of the things I pick

up at the farmer's market because I'm not

currently growing any lion's mane.

I could in the closet here,

but there's a source there that I trust.

And I'd take those, but make sure,

just like the guest we had on from

Cultivated Mind, you got to remember,

you can't just eat these guys raw.

Don't do that.

In fact,

you should never eat a raw mushroom

according to Paul Stamets.

So you want to always cook them.

But anyway, I eat them every single day.

In fact,

what I do is I saute once a

week.

I'll take onions because onions are

really,

really great for the bifidobacteria in

your gut.

So you take onions.

I take a lot of garlic,

which is also good for bifidobacteria.

And if you check out the work of

Dr. Sabine Hazen,

you'll find out the reasons why it's so

important to stay on top of that

bifidobacteria.

But anyway, the mushrooms,

I like saute those.

I cook them by themselves,

put them off to the side and do

some onions and peppers,

put it all together.

And then every single day I'll take a

scoop of that.

And, you know,

put it in whatever salad I'm eating that

day.

So in fact,

today's one of those two salad days where

today I had a salad earlier with a

little breakfast sandwich.

I make a grilled cheese breakfast sandwich

y'all off the meat rack with spelt bread.

I kid you not.

Let me just go ahead and put this

out there, man.

I know we ain't talking about it,

but my breakfast sandwich.

Why sit here and mess around and do

like a regular breakfast sandwich on

toast?

I was like,

why has nobody ever done a grilled cheese

breakfast sandwich?

And I'm doing it.

I do it almost, well, not every day,

but pretty close to every day right now.

Now that I got bread,

I can actually eat,

and it doesn't affect me in a negative

way.

So I'm taking some of that spelt bread.

It's this jalapeno cheddar spelt bread,

and I sit here making grilled cheese out

of it.

I'm like, I cook my eggs,

put those peppers and stuff in there like

I was talking about,

and then make a grilled cheese out of

it.

And now I got this provolone.

I got some bomb provolone down there that

I'm using.

I'm like, okay.

Why isn't anybody ever,

why ain't this on a menu somewhere?

I mean,

surely somebody's got to have it on the

menu, but I've never seen it before.

And there was a time where we were

chasing those restaurants from diners,

drive-ins and dives.

And, um,

like of all the places I've been at,

man,

I've never seen no grilled cheese

breakfast sandwich.

I think I might've made one for Emily

when she was here that time.

I think I made one.

You used to make them all the time.

Yeah.

You've made it for quite a few times.

By the way, real quick, on the diners,

drive-ins, and dives and stuff like that,

when we were following,

we didn't really find many that were good

from that show.

We didn't find a whole lot of restaurants

that were good from diners, drive-ins,

and dives.

They had some unique thing going on,

but that was about it,

and most of them weren't that good.

Well,

the ones in Kansas City weren't good,

but your mom and I found one up

in Omaha.

We went to the Omaha Zoo one time,

and boy,

that place up there for breakfast, it was,

I mean,

three people could have eaten from what

they served me.

But I was like, man,

that is just absolutely insane.

But yeah, I agree with you.

For the most part,

they talked about this other soul food

restaurant that we hit up there,

and it was whack.

Look, man,

they're taking this so-called soul food

and putting it in a microwave and then

giving it to you.

And they're doing it right there in front

of you.

It's not even like they're hiding it.

They put it on a styrofoam plate.

I'm like, you've got to be kidding me.

How on earth?

How do you live with yourself doing stuff

like that?

But anyway, that was years ago.

All right, last one.

Report examines eleven supplements good

for lowering blood sugar naturally.

Okay, ALA, alpha lipoic acids, cinnamon.

I should be taking more of that every

day, but I don't.

Magnesium, I get that every day.

Chromium.

Actually,

I take the chromium into another product

called Sweeties.

So if I ever eat anything that's sweet,

which lately I haven't.

Actually,

I had some buckwheat pancakes the other

day on Saturday, I think.

So yeah,

I had some buckwheat pancakes yesterday.

I always make sure I take chromium and

vanadium soon thereafter because it

blunts, or no, beforehand,

because it blunts the effect of any sugar

you have.

So anyway, yeah,

those are some of them right there.

Zinc, omega-three fatty acids,

which I'm going to get that from the

herring I'm about to eat.

Berberine and probiotics.

Vitamin D, okay?

I don't take a... Because of Jack Cruz,

I don't take a...

I don't take the supplement of vitamin D.

I get it from the sun and aloe

vera.

And there's some other stuff here.

I ain't even going to try to pronounce,

but I think you got enough to go

rock and roll right there.

So, um, yeah,

trying to keep your stuff in order.

Also,

there was this girl called the glucose

goddess and she,

She had a really awesome strategy in which

you should eat.

And I'll just kind of share it with

you here because I think it might be

helpful to some folks.

And she explained she was this Italian

chick and she was on Diary of a

CEO.

It wasn't even a program I was even

trying to listen to,

but I was doing something and it just

came on.

So I found myself listening to it.

And then as it went on,

I was like, okay,

there's some good information here.

Here's what she suggested you do whenever

you sit down to any meal.

And I've been doing it and I do

it religiously.

And I'm going to tell you why they

do it differently in a restaurant.

So when you sit down, like in Italy,

she was talking about,

they'll give you antipasto,

which is basically fermented vegetables

before you even begin to think about

eating.

So they're going to give you fermented

vegetables.

Then you're going to get your other

courses.

But long story short,

here's how she says everybody should eat.

And if you do it this way,

I guarantee you it will make all the

difference in how you feel after you eat,

no matter what you eat.

You want to be careful about what you

eat anyway.

But if you can eat in this order,

always eat a salad first.

Because anything that soon there follows

is going to be blunted by the salad.

So you eat your salad first, your protein,

your starch, your fat.

Obviously, if there's fat in there,

then it's what it is.

So your salad, your protein, your starch,

fat, if you're eating like an avocado,

and then finally,

whatever sugar you're going to have.

Let's say you have dessert.

That's the order you should do it.

And if you do it that way,

you will find out your glucose spikes are

non-existent.

Non-existent.

So when you sit down and eat,

if you doubt me,

go give it a shot because I eat

that way to this day.

Ever since I heard her, I said,

let me give this a shot.

And I did.

So today when I sit down and eat

dinner,

which will be soon after I'm done with

this podcast, well,

let me back up for breakfast.

I ate a salad.

I ate a salad for breakfast.

It's a small one because you know I'm

going to make a dagwood out of that

doggone grilled cheese.

So I ate a small salad.

I ate bone broth first, then the salad,

then that sandwich,

and then I don't feel the effects.

And then if I want to have coffee,

I find out that the coffee –

The effects of that coffee are blunted

completely if I drink it after that and

also if I put a little bit of

cream in there.

So if I put some heavy fat in

there.

And then for dinner,

I'll do the same thing.

I'll have a salad.

This time it's going to be a much

more substantial salad.

And I'm going to eat fish tonight.

So it'll be something out of a can

like some herring or something like that

because I meant to cook this doggone

salmon I got out there.

Didn't do it.

So now I'm down eating some canned fish.

So try that method, y'all,

and tell me how it works out for

you because it really does work.

But either way,

you want to try to make sure you're

doing the best you can.

Go ahead, son.

Going back to those lion's mane mushrooms,

if you're eating those in the form of

capsules, you're really missing out.

I would try to source those because they

taste really, really good,

especially if you slice them and then

saute them or dice them up like Dad's

doing and saute them.

They're really good-tasting mushrooms.

If you don't like mushrooms,

a good one to try out would be

lion's mane because it's more of like a

meatier texture.

It's almost like...

It's about as close to me as you

can get.

It's not fooling anybody,

but it's about as close to me as

you can get and still be pretty satisfied.

Yeah,

a lot of vegans do their burgers that

way.

They do lion's mane or a giant portabella,

which is basically a souped-up version of

a button mushroom.

Man, forget a bunch of that.

But no, that's one way I do it.

I mean,

I spend five bucks on mushrooms a week

because I don't just eat the mushrooms by

themselves.

I'm putting all those things in there that

are going to help the bifidobacteria.

I'm getting the benefit every single time.

And then like when I'm doing my eggs

for that omelet,

I put a scoop of them down in

there.

I mean, all the way around.

Hey, Michelle,

if you're listening right now,

just started raining.

Can you shut that bedroom window?

Uh,

before we got problems with the Tesla

machine.

So, um, yeah,

let's go ahead and do that.

Yeah.

In fact, son,

it's just down the hall from me here.

Go ahead.

Yeah.

Just, um, yeah.

Entertain yourselves.

Yeah.

Dad's got to go save his Tesla machine.

For those of you guys that are listening

and not watching,

Dad just walked out of the podcast room

so he could save his Tesla machine from

the rain because it's raining there.

And I think if I...

I keep hearing like...

I keep thinking,

I can't tell if it's the baby banging

around outside or if we're actually having

thunder,

but I wonder if we're getting some more

rain.

But yeah,

it looks like dad's making his way back

in now.

Here he is.

All right.

So what did you talk about?

Nothing.

Just said,

I can't tell if it's raining here,

if it's the baby banging around in the

background or what.

You weren't gone very long.

No,

I just had to go down the hallway.

We got in that room,

we got our Tesla machine.

We got our, I mean,

we got some devices in there that,

you know,

are not cheap and I want to make

sure they stay okay.

So yeah.

Anyway.

Yeah.

Everything's rocking and rolling over

there.

All right.

We don't have anything from Eric.

He's going at a hundred miles an hour.

Like so many of us are these days.

And boy,

he was telling me about the prices out

there in California.

My goodness.

It's outrageous, man.

Go ahead.

whoa well we might lose power we uh

keep flickering so if i shut off that's

what happened we just lost power um but

yeah the they're gonna have to adjust like

the the signs and the gas pumps out

there because it doesn't go past nine

ninety nine or something like that like it

doesn't get into those four digit numbers

or anything like that yeah somebody put

that in the chat earlier i now i

understand what they were getting at yeah

it's uh

They're going to start charging about the

leader.

I bet doing a,

doing a Europe model on them,

start charging by the leader.

That's how it's going to have to go.

All right.

And then plus there's people out there

doing videos.

Apparently a gallon ain't a gallon no

more.

In some places you've seen those videos

where they're filling up milk jugs and

it's going about three quarters of the

way.

Yep.

Uh, the weights and measures people,

where y'all at?

so yeah um well also make sure that

that's they every if you go to a

gas pump they should have this uh seal

that goes over any like um

to like where they would open the door

and kind of maintenance the machine and

stuff like that.

There should be,

and especially where you pay for your cars

and stuff like that,

there should be seals on there.

If those are broken,

if the seal is broken or the sticker

that goes across that line is broken,

go to a different pump.

It's been definitely tampered with.

And then also let the,

maybe the gas pump know,

or the gas pump or the gas station

employees and stuff like that,

know that that's been tampered with.

So keep that in mind.

Well, folks,

we're going to jump right into it here

in a second.

Cultivated Mind.

Yeah, just talking about some mushrooms.

Ten percent off with promo code PERMA.

I've been using them every single day and

I'm pretty darn pleased with the results.

In fact,

I ought to have some new advertisers

coming up not long from now.

There's there's a number of things I'm

testing out.

But like I said before,

I tell anybody about it here.

You better believe I'm going to give it

the college try,

especially these days where everybody

seems to want to cut corners in ways,

honestly, that just baffle my mind.

Anyway,

the freezer is the farm's HR department.

Look, the freezer... Look,

when an animal becomes...

chronically aggressive or impossible to

manage i'm saying this because i've been

seeing some things pop up i wanted to

do a show on this because i've seen

so many videos pop up on social media

i guess they know what i want to

see or what i don't want to see

every time i turn around well not every

time but often enough to make me want

to do a show about it you know

people are babying these animals that are

either misbehaving or they're not

performing

I mean,

a farm has a pretty straightforward

performance and review process.

I mean, every farm has some rules.

Don't attack the farmer is number one.

And don't terrorize the other animals.

Don't destroy anything that you're not

supposed to destroy.

And don't make me chase you when you

got outside the net.

So let me kick it on over to

you.

Well, on that note, a lot of people,

I don't think they're doing it with the

intent of let me keep these high

maintenance animals.

I think a lot of them just get

so used to the maintenance because it's a

slow addition to your daily work schedule.

You might go out there and let's say

you spend an hour doing the morning chores

or something like that.

And then you have to add an extra

five minutes per day to go chase this

sheep.

And then you have to add another ten

minutes per day to keep the dog out

of whatever you're trying to get him out

of.

And then you got it's a slow build

up.

to the point where you don't even really

notice that all these additions are

happening on your farm.

So one thing you can do to really

see where the inefficiencies are in your

farm, and we've talked about this before,

is have somebody else run your farm for

a couple of days,

and they will definitely point out

everything that's, I mean, if it's a good,

you know, trusted source,

they'll definitely be able to point out

and identify anything that's inefficient

in your farm.

If things aren't making sense,

if they're not running streamlined,

if there's problem animals,

things like that,

have somebody else come out there.

Or if you just think you're spending more

time on a system than it really requires

or should require,

then have somebody else come out,

trade them some food if you want to,

trade them or pay them if you want

to, whatever it may be.

But have them come out,

run your farm for a couple of days

to see what they notice and see what

they think can be improved upon.

There's a couple of things that, like,

this is why I say you have to

have somebody that's trusted that

understands these practices as well.

Because if you have some rancher from

around here,

come to a farm like greg judy's and

they're and they're given the task of hey

make this more efficient first thing

they're going to do is get rid of

all rotation possible not realizing that

that's far more efficient than the

ranching that they're actually doing um so

you got to get somebody trusted you got

to get somebody who actually understands

these systems to an extent or somebody

who's just very pragmatically minded as

well like if you're going back and forth

to the house, to the barn,

to the house again, to the pasture,

to the barn.

If you're just making inefficient

movements that way,

that's definitely something that they'll

be able to recognize.

But another thing I was going to say

was this doesn't just apply to animals as

well.

Like if you have problem trees,

don't let them produce.

Don't let them reproduce.

Or don't let them take up space either,

especially if you're limited on space.

If you have problem or if you have

certain,

let's say you planted a field of tomatoes

or a row of tomatoes,

and you notice that some of those tomatoes

aren't doing the best,

Those should go in the freezer for the

sauce,

meaning that you should not keep seed from

those tomatoes.

You should keep seed from the tomatoes

that did the absolute best,

which is the exact same thing you should

be doing to any livestock that you have

on your property as well.

Well, son,

you kind of covered a whole lot of

bases there.

Sorry.

I mean, the mountains.

I mean, wow.

Yeah.

Anyway, that's about half my list gone.

Yeah, now you know what it feels like.

Now you know what it feels like to

have your whole list wiped out by one

monologue.

Yeah, see, folks, we don't compare notes.

We give a topic,

and then we hit it from two different

angles.

I don't know what he wrote down.

He doesn't know what I wrote down.

Ken and Amy says, yeah,

they're putting a breed of ram in the

freezer because he attacked Ken once.

Yeah, that's sometimes, I mean, hey,

it ain't no problem to go Old Testament

on these animals.

And once they misbehave, I am not,

or especially when you have an animal that

could potentially cause some serious harm,

or even if it's minor harm,

Look,

you got a rooster that's tripping in the

pot, you're going to go.

But the reason why,

part of the reason for the impetus is

that, son,

I put out this short talking about this

very thing and saying, see,

let me say it this way.

Animals get immediate feedback.

Humans often don't.

They just don't.

Modern life sometimes, in many ways,

insulates people from the consequences of

the bad decision and bad behavior.

So you have a kid.

Who grows up and he's been allowed to

speak, you know,

act crazy to mom and dad and,

you know,

cuss him out and do all this other

stuff.

What happens his first day on that

construction job?

Because I've seen it.

I'll tell you what,

the chicklets in the bottom of that toilet

are going to be his teeth.

That's it.

I'm telling you,

these old boys roll that way.

But you had this kid who's been running

this mouth his whole life.

gets out there in this construction job,

and these guys ain't playing.

He's going to wind up,

he's going to wake up like he's just

been in a UFC fight,

and you got some old boys that ain't

even thinking about the consequences.

So that's what I was getting at.

If I don't put up with bad behavior

in animals...

Why would anybody in the sound of my

voice, anybody in this chat right now,

why would anybody ever consider putting up

with bad behavior and what should be a

high functioning human being?

Why do we, I don't understand this.

I've never had,

I've been saying the same thing for years.

I mean,

If I dealt with people the same way

I do with animals, man,

I'd have all eight freezers filled up with

a bunch of bodies.

But I mean,

obviously we can't roll that way,

but I'm thinking,

why is it animals seem to have better

behavior

than most of the people you're running

across these days.

I remember going recently,

this idiot working at a convenience store

and his behavior,

just totally unprofessional on the other

side of it.

You see this over and over and over

again.

But that's what I was getting at.

Animals,

you can see this immediate effect.

But humans,

because nobody wants to discipline a kid,

and discipline doesn't always mean a

spanking, okay?

It can mean, you know what?

You're going to bed without food.

Or, you know,

whatever that kid likes to do.

Spanking.

I'll take the spanking.

What do you mean to bed without food?

Yeah.

Well, what I'm saying is, is, you know,

there's a lot of different ways depending

on the child where, you know,

I was the kind of kid where you

spank me.

I'm like, yeah, get it over with, man.

I want to,

I want to go out and play.

Um, but it would have been a bigger,

and they, they figured that one out.

It was, it was a bigger,

sometimes I got wore out and got grounded.

So, I mean, it wasn't like, okay,

one of these is going to work.

So, uh,

Yeah,

the point being is that we have these

standards for animals,

and I think we should apply them to

people as well.

Clearly,

if you have a person that's violent out

there, well,

unless they're in Massachusetts,

it's typically how we deal with violent

people is they deal with a violent end.

You live by the sword,

you die by it.

But with people, for some reason,

I would love to tell people, hey,

treat me like your dog.

That's exactly what it's come to.

Treat me like you would your dog,

and we're going to get along just fine.

Yeah, treat me like your dog,

but don't start petting me or touching me

or anything like that.

I'll give you a vegan diet.

Yeah.

Well,

my next point kind of piggybacks off yours

a little bit.

And like you were saying,

you're bringing up standards.

Decide what standards you have for your

animals for your farm.

Because like the Ken and Amy processing

that one ram because it head-butted Ken

once,

that is bad for their situation.

But you could be in a situation where

you're a little bit out in the boondocks.

You have maybe a greater predator

pressure.

You might want a little bit more

aggressive rams,

keeping that in mind when you go maintain

the animals and everything.

You might want slightly more aggressive

animals depending on the situation it

might be.

Maybe you live in Tennessee and the state

re-released red wolves and didn't tell

anybody and wouldn't admit it for five

years, but you know they're around.

So you have slightly more aggressive

animals in your flock

to potentially deal with those red wolves

or you get a livestock guardian dog and

then have no more issues that way as

well.

But determine what your characteristics

and don't necessarily base it off somebody

else's list of characteristics because

it's your farm.

You have a different set of standards.

Let's say you're like a...

an eighty six year old woman and you're

running everything by yourself.

You obviously can't have an aggressive ram

that's going to be knocking you down or

anything like that.

You can't you can't deal with that.

And then the same thing with like chickens

and roosters.

Sometimes it makes sense,

especially if you have like a laying flock

following behind,

like you're doing a Joel Salatin method.

where he has his cows move forward.

And then he has like an open fence

system for his poultry following behind

the cows.

And he keeps a couple of geese in

there with them because the geese are

very, very aggressive.

They're annoying to deal with whenever you

go collect eggs and everything.

But in exchange for that,

they keep predators and stuff like that

away from the chicken.

So it's,

it all depends on your property and it

all depends on what characteristics you

want on your property.

Now, granted,

there are some just blanket bad

characteristics for like

you know, hoof issues, you know,

not having or just bad mothers,

things like that.

Like those are characteristics that just

across the board are bad.

But as far as like the aggression or

temperament and stuff like that,

that can change per situation.

Yeah.

No,

I'm sitting there looking at the comma.

Eliza says,

I got a Tesla machine for treatment and

had two sessions.

It was life changing.

Yeah.

I've been using this thing every day.

Yeah.

I'm just seeing where this thing's going

to take me.

Didn't mean to go sideways,

but that definitely caught my eye there.

All right.

This next one, y'all,

I'm going to aim it mostly to the

people in Texas.

Freedom requires a little bit of

discipline.

All right.

Animals need fences because they don't

know where the property lines are.

That means your dogs as well.

I have never in my life ever seen,

for the life of me,

I do not get it.

Anybody that ever moved to Texas does not

get it.

To own a dog and allow it to

mess up your neighbor's property and feel

no responsibility to limit its ability to

do so.

I have never seen,

and it's like everybody just accepts it,

at least in that part of East Texas.

I don't know if the rest of Texas

is like that.

But it floored me.

And there was a girl I knew that

was in my permaculture design course.

She lived near Dallas.

And they had this great Pyrenees,

and they had this container home that they

made.

And it absolutely floored me that they had

just allowed these two Pyrenees to just

terrorize everybody else and never thought

about it.

I mean...

In Kansas,

you let a dog loose out in the

country,

and he's out there fooling with somebody's

cows,

I one hundred percent guarantee you that

dog will die.

They ain't even going to ask questions.

They're going to shoot that dog in Kansas

and Nebraska unless they're,

even if they're polite folks,

They see your animal out there with them

cows,

and there's a chance that they might break

a leg or something.

You just lost a whole lot of money

because that cow got chased by that dog.

They ain't going to have it.

So yeah, I don't mean to, you know,

well, no, I do mean to.

For all you people that let your animals

go loose,

Don't be shocked when somebody's throwing

them over the fence with a with a

thirty out six hole in the side of

it, you know,

bigger than the one that hit Charlie Kirk,

which didn't.

But I digress.

Keep your pets on lock.

I don't for the life of me.

I have no idea why people do that.

And they do it with there's other people

out there that will do it with their

chickens.

They'll do it with everything.

They have zero concern for the people

around them.

I have never seen anything like it.

I live in town.

I live in town, in a neighborhood.

I've got a flock of chickens,

I've got a dog,

and I now have a freaking cat.

None of them leave the property and it's

not even difficult to keep them in.

It's fairly easy.

And as soon as I see the chickens

like tempted to leave the property,

I go ahead and clip their wings.

It's not a big deal,

but I've got neighbors here.

There's four dogs that roam the

neighborhood.

They don't step foot on this property

anymore,

but they roam the neighborhood and just

kind of terrorize,

especially during trash day.

And then they also have like a flock

of turkeys and then they keep adding

animals to it.

They now have a flock of turkeys and

I think a couple of geese now that

roam around the neighborhood and stuff

like that.

And then one random Guinea that follows

them around.

I'm less upset about those because those

turkeys might come in handy in a couple

months.

just considering they're, you know,

community turkeys at this point,

they might come in handy in a couple

of months.

And I'm,

I can almost promise you I'm the only

person around here that knows how to

process a turkey and get more than just

breasts out of it.

So yeah, there's that.

And it's, it's Texas.

I've been,

the way it was described to me is

that Texas is a fence out state.

So the onerous is on you to fence

animals out,

not the home or the pet owner keeping

their animals in.

So yeah,

There's that,

but they also can't get mad when their

animal gets shot either.

The next thing I was going to say

was we're talking about pretty strict

standards to have with animals,

but I would say judge the behavior and

judge the characteristics over the course

of a season,

not just like

individual instances and things like that

like for example if you have a flock

of sheep and you see one sheep get

out of the fence don't just go ahead

and immediately shoot him right there

because it may have been a mistake they

may have been spooked by something they

ran they got caught in the fence and

then they just worked their way out things

like that so keep that in mind also

with like uh chickens for some reason

there's somebody told somebody i don't

know who started this rumor that chickens

only lay eggs for two years

That's not even kind of true.

There's people who will kill their

chickens after two years and start with a

new flock of chickens just to keep egg

production going.

When we moved to North Carolina,

we gave my in-laws the chickens that we

had at that point.

And when Emily and I came back to

Texas,

they still had those same chickens and

they were still producing.

They had to have been like ten years

old at that point and they were still

producing.

They produced to the point they got eaten

by a raccoon.

They kept on producing.

So if you notice that your chickens are

like not laying as prolifically at that

moment,

don't go ahead and replace your whole

flock.

Give it a little bit of time and

see if there's any other kind of outside

factors involved.

For example, like the heat right now,

our chickens don't lay too well right now

up until recently because of the intense

lensing effect that we have going on right

now.

Um,

they just can't really deal with the heat.

They're not even eating for the most part

until recently.

Uh,

and they're just kind of doing what they

can to survive.

So it wouldn't be wise for me to

go ahead and off all the chickens and

put them in the freezer because they're

not doing well right now.

Or a chicken could be going through

molting or something like that.

Not laying at the moment.

It's just a seasonal, you know,

judge the characteristics over a course of

like a period of time,

not just individual instances.

Now, Ken and Amy, I get it.

Yeah.

It's your Ram.

If he Rams, you put them in the,

put them in the freezer.

Especially if he said,

he just said the Ram we're putting in

the freezer has a food aggression issue.

Yeah.

Things like that.

Issues like that.

You can for sure identify immediately and

put them in the freezer.

It's just,

with some of the other things,

maybe slow down a little bit,

give it a little bit of time.

Maybe it was just a one-off and it

might correct itself.

And if it doesn't, you know,

put that in the freezer onto you, dad.

Yeah,

the last one here I'm just going to

talk about is more directed at people.

I mean, manners are inexpensive.

They really are.

Saying please, thank you.

These were things that were beat into our

heads,

and it didn't take long for us to

get the point either.

I know I may sound old-fashioned,

but is there really anything wrong with

showing up on time?

doing what you say you're going to do.

This is more, like I said,

I know we're talking about some of the

animals,

but I'm also talking about some of the

people out there.

And there's a lot of homesteaders and

farmers out there that give their word

about something they intend to do or say

they're going to do and they don't.

And that doesn't win you any fans.

I can understand a one-off, hey,

I can't make it because I got this

problem.

But if you say you're going to do

something or somebody's relying on you,

Or, like I said,

it's funny when I come across homeschooled

kids, and for the most part,

their manners are impeccable in most

cases.

Other ones, not so much.

And it's,

it's really astonishing how far things

have fallen.

I remember, I mean,

we were poor growing up, but man,

we had table manners.

I mean, we were, you know, we were,

my grandmother was a Emily post teacher

for a while.

So she did not play.

You know, there were,

there were certain things that you did and

didn't do.

But coming down to manners, I mean,

that was unforgettable as a kid.

if there weren't certain things that you

did,

especially around company and stuff like

that.

So yeah, I know, like I said,

I know we're talking about what we'll get

an animal put in the fridge, but, um,

honestly that might get you punched in the

nose or, uh,

Maybe not quite that extreme.

Maybe because you're one of those people

out there that can say, please, thank you,

look somebody in the eye,

shake their hand.

And because you have those things,

maybe it opens up an opportunity for you

because for people my age,

it's pretty rare to see in young people

these days.

It really is.

Just to hear please and thank you.

I understand on a construction job,

in the construction world,

we don't say a whole lot of please

and thank you out there because we're

being efficient.

I'm just going to tell you, hey,

cut it six and three quarters.

You can't say please every single time or

thank you because you handed me that wood.

It's an environment made for efficiency.

Yeah,

it doesn't work in a place like that.

but other places it absolutely works

because we're on the clock there and we're

not going to waste one breath saying the

word please when i just need to be

direct and get the job done so yeah

just uh consider matters out there and for

some of you that might have lost them

maybe think about rediscovering them well

on the job site there's just a different

set of etiquette it's a different it's not

that like etiquette has gone away it's

just a different set of etiquette for

example like if you borrow some of these

tools

make sure you bring them back.

That's a piece of etiquette.

You might not say please and thank you,

but there's other levels of etiquette to

follow whenever you're on the job site.

But my last one actually answers a

question that was asked earlier.

If a chicken dies of old age,

do you still process and eat it?

Now,

I would say if it dies of old

age...

Depending on what it died of,

I probably won't consume it,

but there's other things on the farm that

can consume it.

And my last point was age doesn't

necessarily save them from the cook pot,

the pressure canner, whatever it may be,

the stock pot, any of that stuff.

Age, just because an animal is old,

and then it starts not meeting the...

you know,

the standard or anything like that.

It doesn't mean that it doesn't get

processed and it just gets to hang out

on the farm and become like just a

straight up consumer at that point.

There's other ways that you can utilize

it.

You can, I mean,

if you notice that it's getting old and

then it's like not fulfilling its

function,

then you can go ahead and process it

immediately if you wanted to.

Um,

then you can turn it into dog food

if you wanted to you could turn it

into like bone broth like an old animal

makes fantastic you know bone broth think

of how much minerals and vitamins it's

consumed in its entire lifestyle lifetime

to build those thick uh strong bones you

can turn that into bone broth um you

can turn it into medicine you can turn

it into other animals food if you wanted

to you can turn it into compost if

you wanted to whatever it may be just

because it's old doesn't mean that it and

just because it's old

And just because it's not doing its job

anymore,

doesn't mean that it can't fulfill another

job in some other way on the farm.

And it does also doesn't mean that it

just gets a pass because it's old.

And then the real quick last point that

I wanted to make is that like,

You can have pets on the farm.

You can have a pet.

You can have a couple of pets if

you want to.

You just need to identify them as pets

and treat them as pets.

Not expect them to still perform as

livestock at that point.

It's okay to have pets.

We have some.

You guys have some.

You just got to understand that they are

pets.

And there's an extra set of...

I guess it just it's going to add

time to your chores list every day if

you do have pets.

And if you're fine with that,

then continue on with having the pets.

There's a there's three ethics to

permaculture, earth care,

people care and return the surplus to the

first two ethics.

If some of these pets can fulfill the

people care aspect of it,

there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

That's still permaculture.

Yeah, well, when you get into your mom,

you know,

she'll want to take all you give her

and she will take ten miles when it

comes to pets.

yeah we yeah i got ellie may clamp

it up in this place y'all um diamond

dave says so we'll go through some of

these questions here uh crane britain in

his book and on youtube talked about the

six stages of a revolution he covered many

countries going to revolution when the

middle class stops starts losing buying

and the vote doesn't work i think he

meant to say vote and the vote doesn't

work yeah that's that's exactly what we

see unfolding right now

it may not just happen over.

Uh, let's see what a revolution we're at.

Stage four and stage five goes right into

stage six.

Many leaders were killed.

Yeah.

Um, Dave,

I think you might be on to something

there because, um,

I was unaware of those stages.

So thank you for making me aware of

it.

I can't wait to look into it because

that's definitely my wheelhouse.

But yeah,

we are perilously close to that point.

And I've often said we're doing in two

hundred and fifty years what it took the

Romans to millennia to do.

Now,

they started as Etruscans and then the

Roman kings and then the Roman Republic,

then ultimately the Roman Empire.

And then, of course,

after it became an empire many years

later, what happened?

Yeah, it fell from within.

Sounds an awful lot like what we're doing

right now.

What do you got here, son?

Uh,

this one I brought up earlier when we

were talking about,

or I didn't bring it up with this,

uh, GD, HRT, GRD, and, uh,

brought it up earlier.

And when we were talking about the gas

pumps and everything, how to,

or something that you should see at every

gas pump, he said,

you should also see the handwritten

reading always go to a pump that has

a plus number.

Um,

so that should help you kind of stay

away from those scam pumps and stuff like

that.

It should have like a handwritten plus

number somewhere on that.

The, you know,

whenever they come by and do the analyzing

or the calibration or whatever the pumps

are,

I guess they'd leave like a handwritten

number off to look a little bit closer

next time I go fill up,

which actually I might do that right after

this podcast.

Just keep everything topped up.

But yeah,

I'll try to check it out and see

if I can find out exactly what he's

talking about.

Yeah,

Danny Green says they're in East Texas,

got six dogs, and they never run free.

They have a fence.

You're one of the rare ones that actually

does because, I mean, good night.

In fact,

there was our next-door neighbor back

there had this pit bull.

It was very aggressive.

Now, we had a fence up.

This pit bull was very aggressive.

They didn't have a fence.

And this sucker would always get loose.

I mean, it was just,

I hated seeing it anyway because they had

him on a chain the entire time.

I'm like,

I don't even know why you would have

a dog and just keep him chained up

like that.

It just seemed off.

They're doing the same thing still.

They're still doing it.

Well, same people.

Are you kidding?

Same people.

Same people doing the same thing with more

dogs.

I've had issues with the dogs in the

past.

I mean, not anymore, but yeah,

there have been some issues with the dogs

still.

The dog killed one of their own goats.

And then sure enough,

there was these folks walking down the

road, had this little dog.

This pit bull went over there,

snatched him up,

killed him right there on the spot, man.

They came back.

I thought it was about to be a

gunfight at the OK Corral.

Folks down the road came back armed with

rifles, everything else.

They were going to kill the owner or

the dog or both.

And it was about to get very real

out there.

And, uh,

Finally,

he had to go out there and put

a bullet in him because, I mean,

you've just got a lot of dumb owners

out there, folks.

I hate to say that.

Let's see here.

We got anything else not?

Yeah, yeah.

He gave an explanation to the statement

earlier about the plus minus.

He's saying, yes,

it's the over-under on the standard of

fuel-to-fill ratio.

Some pumps say negative one or negative

three, for example,

meaning it's giving you less than what it

should.

So you want pumps with a plus on

it, apparently.

Plus number on it.

Okay, well, thank you for that, man.

Yeah,

I don't exactly know what to call you

there, bro.

I mean, there's a whole lot of...

I don't see any vowels in there.

We need some vowels, dude.

Yeah,

I don't know what else to call you.

But hey, y'all, just programming note.

I mean, for all of us, really.

Get your...

You know, at the end of the day,

if your soul ain't prepared,

I don't know what all this is even

worth.

I mean, you know,

you can have all the right preps and

everything else, but sooner or later,

your body's going to succumb and you're

going to wind up somewhere else.

So I want you all to consider in

a big way, you know,

consider what the Lord's done for you,

sending his only begotten son to die for

you.

Because I'm not saying this all of a

sudden right now because I'm worried

something's about to happen.

I'm just saying, if your soul's prepared,

then really,

does anything else matter at the end of

the day?

Because really, in my view,

it really doesn't.

I mean,

you need to make sure you got your

stuff in order because I got a feeling

things are going to get progressively

worse.

This is a time that is about to

go...

Weird.

I'll just put it that way.

All right, y'all.

I want to thank everybody that came in

to check us out live.

I want to thank everybody that's home

listening later.

Until next time, stay alert.

Stay alive.

Listen to the earth, they've got us.

Let's see the change.

Watch the world spin.

From the smallest sprout to the harmony

begin.

In the cycle of life,

where the magic's alive.

Turn it to the beat.

Feel the fire and thrive.

So much wisdom in the song.
