brain podcast episode 19 of unlimited

0:38

of many more to come up until we get shut down by the fbi or or the fda

0:44

or the cdc or infections yeah

0:51

whoever we seem to piss off that particular week that's until that's that's until we get raided by tick tock by the

0:57

joint task force of tick tock and facebook you'll see them coming in with their little facebook shirts and tablets going

1:04

sir sir we need to see your technology it'll be called jiftick the joint

1:10

force

1:20

anyway uh today today i am sipping on on a

1:26

different beverage of sorts that than i normally do look a little bit more refined and dumb

1:31

dominic has downgraded i've upgraded my refinement dominic has has downgraded a little bit like i am

1:38

not not that uh not that we're opposed to not that we're opposed to being

1:44

sponsored by michelob ultra but uh there's plenty of beards that i'd rather be

1:49

sponsored by before micklob hey if michelob steps up to the plate we're all ears

1:54

the club ultra the uh the official the official beer of record brand podcast

2:01

i don't know if i like i don't know how that doesn't quite roll off the tongue it doesn't

2:06

neither but any bourbon does any bourbon that wants to sponsor us definitely i can i can make it roll all the time

2:14

and pro roll on the tongue as as we're tipping it back let's see any any i don't think we have

2:21

any announcements i'm still wearing i'm i'm wearing the same shirt as last week i'm pretty sure you're wearing the

2:26

same shirt as last i am not wearing the same shirt at least one of us is representing the brand unlike uh unlike

2:32

the other one i am my own brand um you are your own brand special that

2:37

is that is for sure so no announcements

2:42

i guess we can roll right into topic number one of seven quintillion

2:48

and one which is

2:53

supporting law enforcement you can't support law enforcement

3:00

if you know if you if you can't support it going both ways if they come after

3:05

you just as much as they'll go after everybody else you know you have to still be in support

3:10

of it but like i said before our prior conversation if you've got nothing to hide and you know you've done nothing

3:15

wrong you've got nothing to worry about there's actually a lot to unpack

3:22

so what we're talking about of course is is mar-a-lago donald trump the former president

3:28

it's funny to be president again in 2024 no no it's not going to happen and if it

3:34

does gas prices will go down inflation will kind of fix itself but

3:40

magically the democracy will continue to be eroded or our institutions will continue to be chipped away at until

3:46

we're left with a a an anarchy not an energy but just a a state with

3:53

that that is not truly living up to its rule of law and max days

4:02

it's funny that you you should mention if you have nothing to hide you shouldn't be against the a search

4:08

warrant being executed i i was just today i was watching

4:13

highlight reels of 2016 through 2017 maybe even through 2018

4:19

of like clip after clip of donald trump saying about hillary uh about other people not just hillary

4:25

but including hillary if you have nothing to hide you should not plead the fifth amendment you should

4:30

just you should just kind of speak you know if you answer questions answers to penis

4:35

well granted this is that they regret it i mean there's there's a lot of parallels here and just

4:42

today he issued an a statement saying that he's going to plead the fifth with with the this investigation

4:48

really that's ongoing so if that's not hypocritical if that's not like

4:54

the worst king of the case of stinking hypocrisy i i don't know what is i agree

5:00

now whether or not somebody should truly if they're going to make anything

5:06

like public as far as anything that's going on with that well so part of it is private

5:12

though more times than i could be wrong more times than not

5:18

warrants are our public public information right so here's the warrant it says we're looking for

5:23

uh evidence against so and so-and-so some warrants though are sealed from the

5:29

public that could be for numerous reasons to protect identities

5:34

a lot of reasons it could be because there's actually classified information in the warrant uh which only people who have obviously

5:41

clearances should should be able to see so there's numerous reasons for me for yawning so many times i don't know

5:47

because you're old now i am last week last week we wish dominic

5:53

a happy early 75th birthday and today is it is uh past his uh 75th birthday so

6:00

another happy birthday to our our good friend uh dominically

6:12

so there's another oh another thing happened today again with the mar-a-lago

6:18

a fed i believe it was a federal judge has ordered the i believe the attorney general to

6:26

unseal the warrant so we'll see what happens so we're going to see why the warrant was issued

6:33

maybe i would not be surprised at what they were looking for possibly i would not be surprised if the

6:40

attorney general fights this and where would it be

6:45

decided potentially the supreme court and if it goes to the supreme court you i guarantee they're gonna they're gonna

6:52

unseal this thing no question no doubt in my mind if i were betting man do you think so

6:57

yeah 100 i'll bet you 100 pennies you're wrong 99 pennies

7:03

no let's do no it's because you want them all in penny 99 pennies and a bitching one

7:10

99 pennies and a [ __ ]

7:15

as the song goes as that old classic song goes from our youtube that is

7:22

from our you from our youth that's how you pronounce it okay so

7:27

but here's here's one one more thing that that i wanted to touch on with that you said if you have nothing to hide

7:33

yada yada right well there's plenty of of

7:40

um and not just anecdotal evidence but but experts

7:46

legal experts that would actually disagree with you 100 110 out of 100 defense attorneys i

7:54

guarantee would say no even if you are truly like you are truly this is like

8:01

god witnessed you are innocent of everything you've never committed crime in your life you should never talk to

8:06

the police openly you should it should be with an attorney and and you should only you know essentially answer

8:13

questions that that that the attorney says yeah go ahead and answer it for many reasons there's a very there's

8:19

a very good um video that i've seen several times actually showed it to some cops who of course

8:24

disagreed but in this video it's it's this law professor i don't know what what what

8:30

institution and he's and he lists out like seven or ten like good reasons and

8:35

he was i think he was a former prosecutor if i'm not mistaken even prosecutors have a good friend of mine

8:40

that's that was a former prosecutor and even even he says like every lawyer on one side or another will say do not

8:48

and the reasons could be because police officers could make mistakes um if if the police think you're guilty

8:55

even though you're innocent they could only read a portion of your testimony in court even if it's all things the truth

9:01

you know they could take a part of it and and spin it if they were you know they're really good and they can spin words and

9:07

they're like verbal assassins and they know how to do that's right or uh or you could you can make a testimony

9:14

uh with with the police and then later in court they ask you the same question you don't remember the exact same answer

9:20

that you gave and you give a slightly different version and the prosecutor's like aha you're lying you gave two

9:25

different like there's all kinds of there's all kinds of reasons that you'd approach yourself so that's from the that's from sort of like the the

9:32

potential being prosecuted and legal defense uh aspect there's also uh uh

9:37

experts and and um i guess experts is the word on on privacy and like the idea of legal

9:44

privacy and protected by the constitution and all these things that say even again also if you have nothing

9:51

to hide you should defend your privacy to the death and the government should

9:57

be responsible for defending your privacy to death as a as a like a not a moral but like a such a

10:04

critical principle regardless of whether or not whether or not you you're innocent or not or whether or not you

10:09

you have something to hide right one last point about that is is my understanding is is juries

10:15

are instructed because there was a supreme court case where i don't know it was in the last 70

10:21

years at some point i don't know exactly when there was a supreme court case which essentially asked the question of

10:27

can somebody's somebody claiming or pleading the fifth can somebody not

10:33

saying a word as testimony can that be used as evidence of guilt

10:39

because there was a time where like ah if you're not saying anything obviously you got something to hide and that was

10:44

used as as like literal evidence when people were getting prosecuted and the supreme court actually no sense i mean

10:50

if you don't say anything you're not admitting to anything well right but like like you said if you're innocent you

10:56

should just you should just speak freely that's not what i said i said if you're innocent they have nothing to worry about well i mean implications meaning

11:02

if you have nothing in your house to hide and somebody comes with the search warrant let them look again right but that's it's countered by

11:10

the things that you said including privacy anyway the supreme court said no

11:16

absolutely not like if you're pleading your fifth that is your right under the constitution's literally the fifth

11:21

amendment of the constitution you you have that right and that's where the miranda rights came from etc etc and so

11:28

uh one of the pieces there's like uh my understanding is there's like instructions that are given to juries

11:34

that are like like a script you know that the judge is gonna give and one of the pieces is

11:40

if if if in the event that somebody actually did plead the fifth do not take this you cannot take this as evidence of

11:47

guilt not at all it's nothing because of the supreme court right right

11:53

so let me just send quick message

12:01

i've always believed that if you plead the fifth it's not an admission of guilt or innocence it's just

12:07

i'm keeping my mouth shut it's your fifth you know it's your constitutional right now if they use that prior

12:14

you know if i plead the fifth and they use that as evidence of guilt i mean it's just i mean

12:21

no i'm saying but this is prior you know like back in the day when you say 70 years ago or something or whatever yeah

12:28

you know i could just imagine how many people were considered guilty having done nothing other than just they

12:34

chose to plead the fifth and they were like well that's evidence enough is for guilt even if they were completely

12:39

innocent that's that that's a horrible situation i wonder how many people were actually

12:44

innocent that were found guilty only because they decided not to say i would also be curious to see if after that supreme court case if anybody

12:51

that was in jail where like the the only sort of like the the critical piece of evidence was they played the fifth i

12:58

wonder if they let him out for jail after that i appreciate it i mean i by this point they're probably over right now of course but i'm saying

13:04

whenever that the moment the court case was decided oh yeah i wonder if some lawyers were like all right we'll let

13:09

this guy go yeah because you know there was our constitution right to begin with we shouldn't have locked him

13:14

up yeah i wonder yeah there's there's a push once but that's the same i'm sorry to interrupt

13:20

you that's the same argument that can be made like you just arrested somebody for possession of marijuana

13:26

and then next and the very next day marijuana was legalized and then they can say well yeah but

13:32

they committed this crime before it was legalized so they committed a crime

13:38

you know so we can't go back in time we we we made an actual like a lawful

13:44

arrest while the law was was still in place so there's there's i mean

13:49

that's that's usually easily checked in two places one specifically

13:55

in the last 10 years where marijuana was made legal if people were were released immediately and or

14:02

whether or not their records were expunged right i don't think they that i don't think that happened because

14:07

they're i hear on other podcasts all the time about in california alone there's so many people that were arrested and in

14:14

jail for and they're still in jail well i i also wonder i mean it's it's also it's kind

14:19

of a different example but it's it's very similar after prohibition was repealed people that were imprisoned at

14:25

that time were if they were also yeah i'm actually gonna why do i think the

14:30

bootleggers actually would probably have remained in jail because they're

14:37

they're not only you know they were creating this illegal hooch or whatever but at the same time they were also

14:44

i mean i i know it was probably not part of the whole um why you arrested them but it is kind of

14:50

like you know what is it um like pirating or illegal like you're

14:56

kind of copying a branded name brand or whatever the [ __ ] like during prohibition during prohibition during

15:02

prohibition the the the law that people were breaking was

15:07

consumption and possession right and trafficking of the alcohol itself right but some of them were actually like

15:13

counterfeit name brands of stuff that was already out and they were making counterfeit ones of them there was

15:19

nothing out to prohibition because it was all it was i'm talking about what was that before prohibition before prohibition i i

15:26

that's i wonder if that's an easily easy google search but my my strong suspicion is is

15:32

during the 13 or 14 years however long provisional lesson during those during those years

15:38

i don't think anybody that had any sort of alcohol is that the twenties twenties through thirty three yeah

15:44

something like nineteen nineteen thirteen eighteen nineteen through thirty two or thirty thousand

15:49

so in those thirteen to fourteen years anybody that had any sort of alcohol

15:54

charge my my strong assumption is it was the alcohol itself like you know

16:01

i don't think anybody would was prosecuted at the time for any sort of copyright infringement again i

16:07

think yeah that's where i was going with that like right like what i don't know and the government could do anything go go go prosecutors

16:14

add charges all the time but still if you're prosecuting somebody for the position of alcohol like what's the

16:21

why would you even add that but i don't know but here's something that i found about marijuana expungement so

16:29

maybe it does depend state by state that i haven't answered that question yet however

16:34

as of two weeks ago this is the headline federal marijuana records would be expunged under the new

16:40

bipartisan congressional bill so the bill that i think did pass congress basically uh creates a process to

16:46

expunge federal misdemeanor marijuana convictions and allow courts to recommend pardons for eligible cases

16:53

uh it was bipartisan so representative troy carter democrat and

16:59

rodney davis republican co-sponsored the this is in law in california no no this is federal oh

17:05

federal yeah our sponsor because there was a marijuana bill that passed congress last month or something okay this last month and they sponsored

17:12

marijuana misdemeanor expungement act so this is actually completely separate act which um which would require chief

17:19

justice of the u.s supreme court to implement rules to facilitate the expungement of federal cannabis

17:25

crimes so that's federal crimes right so i think the depends state by state

17:32

50-state comparison of legalization decriminalization

17:39

and expungement expungency this is this is a whole long thing updated january this year yeah this is a

17:47

whole one thing so you can read it in your in your off time in my leisure at your leisure that's

17:53

right evidence the giant meteorite impacts created the continents interesting

18:03

oh my speaking of did you call your buddy in pennsylvania i did i left him a message and i'm waiting for him to call

18:09

me back so do not worry i actually did call him and i left him a voicemail i'm very curious hopefully he

18:15

calls me back have you invited him onto the podcast table i have

18:20

he it takes her so it takes forever to him for him to get back to me for anything i'll say hello two weeks later

18:27

he goes oh hey bro okay where is harrisburg pennsylvania

18:33

that's a little bit far from where i'm gonna be in philadelphia for the week

18:38

he has an office in philly okay he does

18:44

all right what else can we talk about what else do we can talk about your rain your rain water okay i don't know well it's the report you

18:50

sent for me today i know but your rain water in this in the sense of this is how it affects you

18:56

or anybody else who collects foreign anybody else right but i mean i don't necessarily care about anybody else i

19:01

care about the the health of of you and your husband and your dogs that's so nice of you thank you sweetheart

19:08

so rainwater the great scourge of our society i'm

19:13

kidding [Laughter]

19:18

there was there have been some studies recently that i sent it to dominic or i said an article on some of these studies

19:25

dominic earlier basically saying that uh rain water all around the world is so

19:32

contaminated with plastic remnants or plastic another

19:39

i don't know bpa is probably one of them pfcs i don't know the acronym we could actually find it in the article that i

19:46

sent you but that that rain water is so contaminated with um with these glutens

19:52

yeah with these plastic pollutants that uh that no rain water is safe

19:57

in the world for human consumption even after treatment that's my understanding and that's

20:03

that's a very scary um concept you know i mean granted most of the

20:10

rainwater i'll be using is for well it's about permaculture but i mean some

20:15

people do attempt to purify it for consumption that's right

20:22

and but if this really is the case it's uh atmospheric levels of toxic toxic forever chemicals are so high that rain

20:28

water everywhere contains amounts that are unsafe for long term human consumption according to safety

20:35

guidelines hazardous pollutants known as per i'm not even going to try that pfas

20:42

substances or sometimes called forever chemicals because they break down so slowly over time are present at such

20:47

elevated levels in environments around the world that scientists believe the ubiquitous contamination has now

20:53

exceeded a safe planetary boundary reports a new study wow

20:58

but again i use my rain water primarily for my permaculture but i mean people do like you know they try to use these

21:03

berkey filters to try to filter out viruses and such and but if these

21:08

pollutants are such at a microscopic level i don't even know if a lot of these

21:14

filters could um could eliminate you know a lot of the pollutants in the water and and make them

21:21

that much safer to drink i'm not sure i'm not i'm not too too sure

21:28

pfa removal and pfa treatment solutions does berkey filters coming to that spell

21:35

i'm sorry spell b e r k e y filters

21:42

yup that's it were berkey filters featured on shark

21:47

tank uh i'm not sure according to tests done by epa accredited labs berkey

21:55

filters remove 99.9 percent of pfas we're getting some [ __ ] berkey

22:00

filters wow interesting i told you i wonder if but have you have you researched water

22:06

purification to it to some degree not not to not at length my understanding is that reverse

22:12

osmosis is the gold standard of water purification various osmosis is coupled with uv light

22:19

but the mercury there's not it's not it's used to filter reverse osmosis however i can definitely

22:25

i have heard that yeah it is the gold standard and especially if it's coupled with uv light

22:31

which is still an option it is still an option it's possible there's some some diy

22:37

um systems that you can put up and i can definitely all do that in my shed to get that from the rain water that's coming

22:43

off of my uh my two cisterns high pressure membranes such as nano

22:49

filtration or reverse osmosis have been extremely effective at removing pfas so

22:54

i wonder what he here this makes more emotional maybe

22:59

it's maybe it's rain water that people just try to consume directly from the you know from whatever they could know

23:04

rain water technically is or no untreated waters from

23:10

unless it's coming from a spring or a natural spring any other source of water even if it's

23:16

rain generally forget pfas generally it's not considered safe like you have to at least boil it

23:21

yeah you have to because you question the thought process you might you know you have bacteria and viruses

23:28

that can accumulate in this in in the water and you need to get that plus you know whatever salads you know if you're

23:34

collecting rain water one of the biggest things that people worry about is yeah most people collect rain water from a

23:39

roof that you put in your gutter system and all that so you're you're not but that's exactly the point bird

23:45

[ __ ] in some regions you got lizard [ __ ] dead insects you know um etcetera

23:52

etcetera dust and all kinds of other [ __ ] so you know you're not going to hold any mold of different molds and

23:59

funguses you know carcasses of dead animals you could have a rat that had gotten into that water or or a possum or a raccoon

24:06

you don't know and you're not going to want to drink no any of that [ __ ] and even i will be honest even if i could

24:12

filter all of that water i would still probably want to do the reverse osmosis with the uv because

24:19

i want to make as sure as i possibly can that that water is as safe for you know to consume

24:26

as i can you know because even you figure this in an emergency situation

24:32

in an sh shtf kind of situation let's say one of the worst things that can happen

24:38

to you is that you make yourself deathly ill because you think about it if [ __ ] hits

24:43

the fan and you make yourself deathly ill because you didn't take the time to clean your water

24:49

now what are you going to do you're going to take yourself to the hospital hospitals probably even aren't functioning properly at that point because people

24:56

are all trying to survive and do whatever they need to do grid shuts down things happen the best thing you can do is just filter

25:03

your water the best you can and even if it is filtered [ __ ] boil it takes a few minutes

25:09

what is um i can't think of the word when you you ferment alcohol but then you you you heat it

25:15

to to concentrate it why can't i think of the word still yes yes

25:20

i wonder if distillation of water will will remove pfas

25:26

not boiling but just distilling it i don't think so i'm i'm curious but you know what i mean just like i don't know why this simple

25:32

like 100 water let it go up in vapor yeah i know what you mean but isn't that this i mean well yeah i

25:39

wonder if that's a thing like if that would actually help distill water remove pfas google finished it for me

25:46

then we're not the first ones to actually look for them so boiling water will not remove them that's that's very

25:51

obvious boiling will kill viruses and bacteria but you'll still

25:57

have the pfas in there

26:02

what you need to know about pfas including pfo what's the difference

26:07

i want everybody listening to understand the reason why we're talking about this is again again other than political conversations we

26:14

are deeply into permaculture prepping you know and these things are important to know

26:20

a lot of people i watch a lot of these videos on youtube and a lot of people collect green water and they use it for multiple purposes but

26:26

you know again if you're in that kind of a situation where the grid fails or something happens the one of the worst

26:32

things you can do is not take the additional steps to make sure that your

26:37

consumables do not make you ill if you get sick

26:43

what are you gonna do take an aspirin i mean i don't know if that's gonna really help you

26:48

so distillation's effectiveness has not been tested but based on the high boiling points are

26:54

of most pfas it's predicted that nearly 100 of them will be removed

27:00

so distillation could be a vibration i mean distillation is a is a long process

27:07

but if that's your option that's i've done that yeah but here's also why what made me think about that

27:14

kind of going back to long-term um viability of various options discussed

27:21

the first thing that i googled was how do you maintain reverse osmosis

27:26

mechanisms and the answer is you need to replace the filter periodically that means you need to have you need to stack

27:31

up filters i think the distillation if that if that

27:37

actually turns out to be an option that to me sounds like something people

27:42

should consider for their water storage for water that they have stored in you know for their

27:48

their emergency water if you can't get water and you need to have their the rain water be your source of of of water

27:56

and if you know i say and and you're trying to save water meaning put it in put it in your shed or in the garage and put it

28:03

away for you know for these kind of situations if you can distill it and that's a much better option for you

28:10

then i say go ahead and do that i'm i myself i'm looking at the berkey filters as well as our

28:16

reverse osmosis system but like we can like charles just said of reverse osmosis you need to have

28:22

various amounts of filters but again those filters can handle thousands upon thousands of gallons sure fit right like

28:28

and it and i think one filter system can handle at least up to 10 to 50 000 gallons of water and the

28:35

average the average replacement rate for a risk of osmosis is is two to three years okay so you need let's say you

28:40

want to do 60 years and you're replacing it every two sixty divided by two so there you need 30 of these filters

28:48

and i've never placed an uv light because i'm sure it's not going to last forever so you need a few of those

28:54

uv or however that works well that's what i mean the uv bolt now they have chromatin cheap and eight gallon per day

29:01

automatic water distiller for two thousand dollars relatively cheap where would you put it is it electric

29:08

i'm about to say that's what that's what i'm looking at that's the product description connects to any water source for automatic

29:14

filling automatically turns on and off produces 30 liters every 24 hours

29:20

[Music] connects to a water line okay but

29:25

because if it is electric and the grid falls i hope you have some kind of a solar background element voltage

29:32

voltage volatile gas bends now let's forget volatile gases plugs into 115 volts

29:37

you need electricity so if [ __ ] hits the fan meet grip falls down you need some solar you need a backup generator is not

29:43

going to last you forever because you're going to have to have fuel so unless you have stockpiles of food that is a very good option i like that

29:50

i'm telling you now that you just know that charles looked it up distilling you know i truly believe that actually

29:57

might be a much it's a slower option but you don't if you can just kill it eight

30:02

gallons per day that means you know more than eight gallons per day you don't have to buy filters and you know stock up on

30:09

these on these uv lights and and these um reverse osmosis floats or even invest in such a large

30:15

uh filtration system if you can't spend the 2000 on a distilling system and you

30:21

have solar energy to keep it running that might be the best option out of all of them

30:27

you're welcome you're welcome rocket brain fans that's what we're here for uh if you're inclined

30:33

due to that invaluable in invaluable priceless information priceless if you will

30:39

but if you do want to put a price on it our support support links are in the bio and in the

30:46

video description of the audio we're trying to raise our two thousand dollars for ours for go fund me forever

30:52

go fund me please support our are buying the four thousand we need one for money four thousand one for years and one for

30:58

mine priority is mine no offense

31:17

like size like that's first of all okay second of all in the house what have you said

31:22

at least five times at least once on camera that i and and and that was recorded that i could think of you said

31:28

the moment you're right here that's right and you said no we're gonna learn how to live and both

31:34

yeah that's that is true that's why we're dividing we're planting some trees in your place that's true some truth of mine we're gonna make it i think

31:41

we're gonna do just that plan on having both households be prepared and ready to do anything i think worst case scenario

31:49

if need be we're still prepared that one of us would go to either one of our

31:55

houses if you needed to leave this one or i needed to leave mine we would have each other's home to go to as a refuge

32:01

and back each other up from that like that way although i truly believe this house probably has is more secure

32:08

has more potential of survivability because of its location and because of the things you've already implemented

32:14

my house uh it it does also have a good rate of survivability but it's close to the

32:21

highway you know so people can come up and down if they're trying to go through other houses other houses so people are if

32:27

they're looking to raid and go in and pillage all your [ __ ] you know plus it's tougher to defend two

32:33

locations that's right so i'm coming here

32:39

it's been decided and that is why the the the distillation machine is is going

32:45

here first that's right i was going to say something about locations i don't remember oh because i

32:52

was thinking about i was thinking about declaring my barber of the official barber wrecking brain

32:58

but i will i will reserve that declaration until i've got a pretty good bar with myself by the way my brother's

33:04

i i i left from your place it took me about 12 minutes yeah you should go check them out just

33:10

be like dude my barbra dominating my barber is looks like like he's got a full viking uniform

33:18

in the back like i think he does he just looks like a viking he might

33:23

even do viking cosplay who knows this dude is uh and he's like seven feet 27 inches tall

33:29

he's just unnecessarily big for a barber looks like a viking you know but a super nice guy i bet

33:36

you'd like it 27 inches probably yeah

33:41

obviously it doesn't move much let's see if there is any more there was one more topic that we were

33:48

almost definitely going to talk about and i don't remember what it was we could talk about water we talked about

33:53

mar-a-lago something about permaculture uh

33:58

permaculture something but oh no we did we talked about water oh doing things a little bit at a time that's right that's

34:05

right so you know as you know charlie's permaculture uh his edible

34:11

forest if you will is growing very nicely but you know it was a little bit at a

34:16

time a lot of work to get it started and mine is on the same track

34:22

and cool not not not quite as big as charlie's but you know charlie's is very big

34:27

um but uh i'm doing the same thing little by little i got a fruit uh fruit

34:32

cocktail tree charlie very nicely gifted me a fig tree and it's coming along

34:38

so you know i think we touched this on a previous episode but you don't have to do this

34:44

kind of thing all at once you know you can go little by little

34:49

but when i say little by little you know it's not about going one plant

34:55

at a time if you can i'd say do two or three plants at a time

35:00

if the uh it's financially you know available for you to do that

35:05

um because again you know these plans take time to grow and they take time to to

35:11

you know you have to harvest them and that all takes time and also depends on the time of year you're doing it in your location

35:16

um so doing it one you know one plant at a time maybe is not the best option but doing two three plants at a time

35:24

may be the better one if you know the money allows you to do that but i i we strongly we both strongly

35:30

suggest if you have the space do it if you don't have the space find a

35:35

way to do it because things inflation are making things very difficult to get

35:41

some fruits and vegetables may not even be available in your area if you know something like that happens and if

35:47

you're growing them and you've got them you're way better off speaking of there's nothing like eating your own

35:52

vegetables out of your own garden i love eating my cell phone so there's that would you call it a

35:58

vegetable like oh my little vegetable ah my zucchini

36:05

my eggplant my garbage let's do it like i'm gonna go

36:10

so because i'm about to clear a bunch of my my remaining that's right you're getting a

36:17

forester to come in and i am mulch everything that's not being used right now i have the room to build

36:24

a nice nice sized greenhouse and we can i thought you didn't say bunker

36:31

a bunker could go underneath the hill that is but that sure can that's much

36:36

again speaking of doing a little bit at a time that's that's for for for that's a later project

36:43

and i'm definitely not doing it by hand no no no professionally yeah yeah and then i'd have to kill a professional no

36:49

definitely get a professional from a different state i mean even then i would have to kill

36:54

them because then they know they'll know they know yeah no what i was going to say was i have the room well they're not going to know any defense mechanisms

37:01

we'd have put in place you know play more claymores don't announce well i'm going to

37:06

announce it you [ __ ] you know [ __ ] around and figure it out [ __ ] around and find out

37:12

yeah just cause you put the bunker there we're gonna have tripwires [ __ ] mines claymores

37:17

oh yeah i know how to rig up a ton of good [ __ ] what i was gonna say was that i have the room for us to build a

37:22

greenhouse a nice-sized greenhouse and that could expand the diversity of

37:28

yes of fruits and vegetables essentially even it wouldn't that make your the greenhouse is essentially

37:34

just kind of building a different zone yeah yeah one from from further south so i could

37:40

have i could have tropical things i could have that's right orange true passion i mean i already have a type of

37:45

but southern oranges like i could have passion fruit i could have um guava

37:52

that i wonder how many zones a greenhouse would bring you down to if we're in a certain zone would it bring

37:58

let's say hypothetically we're in zone seven my guess is two you mean like going down to like zone

38:04

nine yes maybe even zone nine b oh if we're going to nine nine b is

38:09

including nine but my guess is is two regardless where if you're starting with four you're going to go to six let's say it's certainly good so okay maybe i'm

38:16

wrong i kind of agree with that because it would really maintain it would keep the

38:21

heat inside i wonder

38:28

tell me greenhouses are effective

38:35

okay what is the hardness zone in greenhouse growing okay let's see

38:44

okay i think one of the points we're also trying to make with all this is you know everything we're talking about

38:50

charlie's doing the research immediately if you have a thought about something immediately jump on the research do it

38:57

and the more you know about it the more the more probable probable you'll do it

39:03

because you know you have to anything good

39:08

it's so far so far it's not standard

39:14

because different parts of the like it's it's not it's not as simple as like well how many how many zones

39:20

because different parts of of the world receive different amounts of sunlight let alone already have different sort of

39:26

temperature conditions right right i still think it's a good idea no 100

39:32

for example in the southeast region it's typically zoned six to ten right

39:38

and it's prone to having soil with excessive clay which is absolutely cotton

39:44

clay okay choosing and operating the greenhouse

39:49

okay

39:55

what challenges zone three can experience it so it's each each zone aside from greenhouse has its

40:01

own challenges zone three can have high winds zone one and two in general is challenging for greenhouse growing

40:08

because of how cold it is already right zone six is the rating for most of the us and it can give you many more options

40:16

if you're in zone nine you can have year round planting easily and even extreme heat can cause problems

40:22

okay conclusion greenhouse garden gives you the ability to grow most crops and plants without the limitations and

40:28

setbacks before you start you must know what hardness zone

40:33

in greenhouse growing is by definition it is synonymous with growing growing planting zone that dictates the average

40:39

annual extreme of your state or region if this this is not telling us we'll

40:44

figure it out but i think a good another point is again do the research don't just assume you know

40:50

you know everything about everything the moment you assume that that's when you're gonna start to make a lot of

40:55

mistakes assumption is the mother of all fuckups

41:07

hmm nothing nothing we need we need a an assistant like a young jamie from joe rogan we

41:13

need like one of those guys that just do all those that's true then we can keep talking and then you can keep couple months later be like hey this is the

41:20

this is what it is we could have one but she would talk back a lot she would really yell at us like i'm

41:26

looking you shouldn't refer to smears as a sheep

41:33

i don't really know your pronouns bro we're bro

41:38

broski okay okay oh we got something the very very

41:44

stressed very approximate rule of thumb is one zone per layer of protection

41:52

so it depends on how your so what you technically are right because if you got two layers of protection because it

41:57

because you have a greenhouse doesn't mean you're limited to one layer depending on how you build it

42:03

and what you build it out of

42:10

interest you want to maximize your morph at night as well as winter protection use heavy row cover

42:17

see instead of a regular plastic optionally plastic can go

42:22

on over the row cover what is a row cover see

42:27

more research we can look at this later we can we can okay

42:33

our listeners and viewers would love to hear your voice okay this this person was saying the

42:39

lowest temperature outside of outside of this person's greenhouse

42:45

where they are in one particular winter was 15 degrees below zero that's [ __ ] cold

42:51

yeah that's up north however the lowest inside their greenhouse was

42:57

plus 20 degrees fahrenheit so that's a difference of 35 degrees 35 degrees

43:04

that's a that's a significant that really is and that's in deep deep deep winter that's this person clearly has

43:09

several layers of protection interesting and you also have to figure

43:15

if you're that far north you probably have other sources also maybe artificial light you know heating elements

43:22

inside there [Music] double you know coupled with the the protective layer on the outside

43:28

yeah this this this other person was responding there's their super insulated house

43:34

greenhouses depending on the material uh they would they'd do several layers of anti-condensate

43:41

film obviously prevents condensation so and then you can there are ways to insulate the ground as well right and

43:48

you can put you can put a misting system in a in a greenhouse so that you can water these plants

43:56

i just think versus well that first of all that that adds to the complication right i do generally want to keep things

44:02

somewhat simple also the other thing you're going to consider is if you if you have a misting

44:07

system i'm assuming there's it's kind of the water's coming in from external to it that's right and you have to winterize your pipes and all that others

44:14

we live in an undisclosed location in a bunker but luckily even in los angeles we

44:20

wouldn't have to still i would i would prefer to keep it

44:26

simple and like the simplest solution is to go in there and periodically water water and water your plants

44:33

when your survival depends on it you better [ __ ] go do it we could probably also

44:40

can't just take your harris teeter or whatever we could also catch rain water in an insulating insulated pipe and just

44:48

allow it to go into the greenhouse i've seen guys insulate pipes with [ __ ] pool noodles

44:55

you know but what i'm saying right there waste insula but i'm saying if you if we catch rain water that comes out to the

45:00

greenhouse yes and filter and and pipe it through an insulated pipe mm-hmm yeah

45:09

you're you're already giving me ideas here and i can probably figure it out yeah but the problem is

45:15

and i don't know how this affects things but if you do that you're allowing

45:20

bpa pfas to come in to your plans that that's a whole yeah i

45:26

mean that's a whole other concern you're right and it's actually if i'm not mistaken those those pfas and all these

45:31

chemicals will will seep into the vegetables yes that is that's actually actually a very legitimate concern but what i was

45:37

going to say was even simpler is you're letting air outside air temperature water or

45:44

outside temperature water into the greenhouse so it's like you're letting let's say it's like a cold night very

45:50

very for your freezing water to get not even yeah like 30 even 35 degree water right into that after freezing yeah into

45:57

now uh 75 degrees yeah you're cooling it down to your plants yeah so

46:03

i'm against that and because of what you said good point about the chemicals now i'm more inclined to say i'm just going to bring in a pot of water and water

46:10

things periodically and if you can get a 2 000 distilling machine even better

46:15

make sure you're watering your plants with actual clean water yeah well literally everything everything

46:22

everything that relates to whatever bodies that's right whether we're

46:27

drinking it whether we're putting it on the plants even if we're showering with it you really want you can because this

46:33

[ __ ] could seep into your skin we were talking about microscopic little things that pfas and certain filters are

46:39

just not going to get you know you put things on your skin to a degree it's it's your your body will

46:46

absorb it again you might have to put up a lot of it on your skin but i

46:51

mean why risk anything and again these pfas put you at

46:56

asthma thyroid cancer liver cancer and some and some other can like it's probably some

47:03

pancreatic cancer some adrenal problems listen if you can do what you have to do

47:08

to avoid it that's what we suggest because it's going in your body on your body for your health for your survival why

47:15

poison yourself if you can avoid the risk what do you think it would cost to build a greenhouse

47:20

oh the greenhouses are relatively inexpensive i've seen some a good maybe i've seen them i saw one person had one

47:27

that was eight by eight that was not too big but it only cost like 600 bucks

47:33

what we would need because we're going to be planting perennial trees we need them to be at least

47:38

oh they were they were about they were about like 12 it was eight by eight by 12. we needed to be like 30 feet 20 20

47:44

20 plus feet that's unrealistic for a greenhouse greenhouses are relatively smaller structures to have a 30-foot

47:50

greenhouse we'd need like a it's no longer a greenhouse it's now a what do they call that um

47:57

not a terrarium it's uh it's a big like uh oh my god like like a biodome

48:03

like a botanical garden side like a biodome essentially yeah that's that's what that's what i want yeah but that's

48:10

i don't know that's uh that's outside of the realm of of of everyday realism

48:16

what your professional tooth i think but not everybody has the money to do that no i know that but i'm saying

48:22

because it's it's we're talking about it for our listeners and viewers who probably want to do something similar

48:31

example that fig tree how tall is that victory gonna be if it lives

48:37

fruit trees can be between 20 and 30 feet i think so

48:43

a tree would eventually outgrow the the i mean even if you prune it i don't

48:50

think it's feasible

48:55

it is feasible you could you could keep a fruit tree trimmed to 12 feet

49:00

you could and you could try to make it as wide as possible but but because it's much shorter than

49:07

it wants to be i think you'd be limiting how much fruit you could eventually get out of it yeah

49:14

i don't know 100 right right but it's it's a concern right if we want to start

49:19

with an eight by eight by 12 put a bunch of trees i say you start with whatever is comfortable for you and

49:25

whatever space you have available to you use the available space but don't overwhelm your your available space

49:32

either because you never know what you need more space for i feel like we're like in a poker game with so much smoke going

49:38

around like in one of those old-timey mafia poker games people smoking cigars and

49:43

playing cards and cursing at each other this is a safe space this is a safe space this is a very this is a very safe

49:49

space you know i know what's in this house it says we are in a very safe space

49:56

not not least of for many reasons and he's an ally so i feel very safe not least of which

50:03

is um or for many reasons not at least which is is my uh my squirt squirt pistols

50:09

yeah your pew pews [Music]

50:21

oh liberty beer did you buy it you i said no no did you

50:26

send me the link i texted it oh i'm going to get it i absolutely buy

50:32

lgbt not by next not by the next episode but in the next several episodes you

50:38

will see a new addition to our our rack your brain background

50:44

right right right there yeah we're going to start making a couple of changes to our background and

50:50

our appearance here we're not far up here i'm getting well i'm going to shave my head and shave my face and i think i'm going to tattoo the

50:57

top of my head with a uh i don't know i might do some flames or something

51:03

kind of like bambam bigelow what if you get a mohawk i could yeah

51:09

now that i'm dropping if you want dominic to grow mohawk i'm so old i don't care at this point i'll just grow

51:14

a mohawk and dyed orange you should yo diet rainbow you would be proud nah

51:22

you want to be a proud member of the legibility now i mean people are going to think i'm voting a certain way and i'm trying to avoid that

51:28

i mean that's shame on them for for stereotyping but shame on me for for perpetuating a

51:34

stereotype interesting anyway so what else do we

51:40

have we we have time for one more topic

51:48

here's an interesting headline i don't know if this is going to be the topic

51:53

the headline is disney world has a problem visitors won't like oh my god i saw that on the google thing

51:58

when i was taking the [ __ ] and you go you know going through the google news once they didn't read it though okay

52:06

yeah i don't really care but go ahead

52:11

currently disney has three ways to interact with the park digitally okay

52:19

i'm over it yeah like share subscribe buy our merch

52:24

comment follow us on social media send us anything in the mail including checks

52:30

sponsor us cash out venmo and and what what's the word uh support support links go to those important

52:37

links up we have paypal we have venmo with

52:42

venmo cash up patreon we're open to new sponsors anybody out there want to sponsor us

52:49

we are open i will read your ads and proudly use your merch and your product if you so choose to

52:56

sponsor us

53:02

one of the things i'd like to stress about track your brain podcast is none of the things that we talk about on this show are ever scripted everything we

53:08

talk about is just you know coming from our experiences and and the things we're interested in and the

53:14

things that we read that interests us things that we have insight on you know but it's never scripted it's

53:20

funny did this man if i needed to rely on this man memorizing a script we wouldn't have a show yeah that's it you

53:26

know but it's never scripted it's nothing that we this is just us talking and

53:32

to the viewers you all should already know that by now you know and you know potential sponsors

53:37

and people who want to support us again this is just us talking you know we're just being very genuine

53:44

we're being who we are we're not lying about who we are and we never have never will we're just you know very genuine in our

53:51

approach and our delivery as to what we say whether we're going on rants or whether we're having just regular

53:56

conversation or whether we're reading headlines and talking about current events right now it is just

54:02

as genuine as you can ever get it what are your thoughts on setting up an aquaponics

54:09

system uh it's yeah i mean it's very doable i saw a video where somebody did that with

54:15

just using pvc pvc pipes they kind of cut out they cut holes in them

54:20

and then they plant stuff in these holes but they're still running water through them

54:26

so i mean it's a very doable system it is time consuming

54:31

and you have to have some available space for it but it's not

54:36

unheard of like a whole room yeah but i mean it is still

54:43

i think i think where i was going with the lead uh bringing in water from you know external sources from a greenhouse

54:50

because you could incorporate an aquaponics system inside of a greenhouse especially if you're in a region where

54:56

you're not particularly worried about condensation or freezing or things like

55:02

that now if you're in a region where it gets cold and i would suggest against it because then you run the risk of your aquaponics

55:08

system actually freezing and you know getting damaged by the severe weather but i mean that's that's up to

55:13

the research that you do i think

55:18

my house is also a better option because i've i've a nice nice creek

55:23

not even half a mile away oh by the way my deep like that chest freezer i got dude it's only on medium and it is

55:30

like okay yeah no i already got it all set up and the and the grill too

55:38

where'd you put the grill on the deck outside on the side of the deck and that open area remember what i said

55:43

that the the old gas line was coming out right right on top of that i'm only just out of here i just haven't where'd it go

55:50

i'm only was it about 500 feet from the creek

55:57

that one back there was that count that one back there

56:02

that's on the map oh yeah oh no it's a nice size it's

56:08

hmm what i wonder longer than a person so at least six feet the leaf i wonder whether i would like i wonder where the water

56:14

source is from though well it flows from west to east

56:19

right so it's coming from there and i'm not touching it it's

56:26

no no no no each one you could actually see so that's one of

56:31

the starting points that's one of the starting points right that's one of the starting points and

56:36

a couple of starting points there right definitely not not like normal it's like it's like a local locally sourced creek

56:42

wow that could be a an option as far as if you really need to get water for

56:48

something that's not bad at all i wonder if i have what i have near me

56:55

that's another thing looking for your available water sources around your immediate area if you have to do that you never know

57:02

i also suggest making friends with people who have cabins in the woods or

57:07

get one yourself if that's an option or have a place that you could go to be prepared to go out and if you really are

57:14

super close i am well look at that yeah if you need to if you need to bug

57:19

out have a place that you can go for if you have a place to go if you need to

57:24

bug out go and that's if you're if your home is not

57:30

prepared to uh to handle something like that you can't just bug out without a place to go that makes no sense that's

57:36

crazy that's but people sometimes don't even think they'll have a bug out bag with all this equipment and all these

57:42

[ __ ] and they have the idea like they're going it's a fan of the wizards they have nowhere to go no idea where

57:48

they have a bug-out bag they'll say okay well where are you going you're just going to go outside and walk

57:53

the earth like a [ __ ] kung fu master from a 70s tv show yeah no you have to have like like david carradine played in

58:00

the book of book of eli oh look at uh denzel washington walking the earth yeah

58:05

you're gonna have a backpack with a machete in the bible like good good luck you know [ __ ] man you have to have a

58:11

place to go so i strongly suggest make some friends that have a cabin in the woods somewhere with enough supplies or get yourself one

58:19

if you can and if even that's not an option know your local

58:25

you know campsites campgrounds all these things you have to know where to go add some

58:31

some cashews or dig berries in cashews i know where they are know how to find

58:36

them if gps goes up yeah have a map have a map plan it out i mean learn how to

58:41

read a map gps will not be a thing if the grid goes out you you are going to be [ __ ] out of

58:46

luck so get your [ __ ] map reading skills up today they still do land navigation when you were in the army yes they did we

58:53

actually we started this too imagine if they got rid of that again

58:58

we actually used to have the in the uh we used to do soldier of the year and for ranger competitions we used to all

59:03

like glenda was a big thing i will say this the first time i did soldier of the year competition and we

59:10

did land i got so [ __ ] lost not lost

59:15

like i didn't know where i knew where i was but the points i was finding were way off from the points that i was

59:21

supposed to be finding all the grid points i was supposed to be getting even my sergeant was like where the [ __ ] did

59:27

you go where did i i'm trying to follow i don't know i i was i was i think when

59:32

i did it i was an e3 and i thought i was all [ __ ] high speed yeah you know i was like yeah i'll do it you know like

59:38

you're any three like outside look better late than never like what better early no that but i said better

59:43

like than ever i'm like no dude most guys do this when they're like e5's or like you know e4 promotables and the

59:49

[ __ ] you doing i thought i was all high speed [ __ ] gi joe so there's two things i mean there's multiple things

59:55

that i would get but if i were to make a list of top five in addition to that that distillation

1:00:00

thing yeah is a freeze dryer yes mine actually i got mine today

1:00:06

yesterday i did oh freeze dryer um i got a deep freezer not a

1:00:15

they're like they're expensive they're not cheap i know but i would love to get one do you you cannot the you will not

1:00:22

be free long-term storage of food you cannot beat a freezer for that you don't even have to

1:00:28

refrigerate it correct you just put it in you know that combined with my uh

1:00:33

concealer full dry dark place yeah that's all you need you put it in a miler bag you you you freeze-dried you

1:00:39

put it in in freeze-dried vacuum and vacuum sealing that's it and cool dry place could be a storage

1:00:45

closet basement not the ag attic is going to get too hot and those

1:00:51

those those temperatures are probably going to negatively affect that and yeah but as long as there's no moisture it should

1:00:57

still be yeah but i mean it gets super duper hot up there and sometimes it can get the humidity levels in an attic

1:01:04

you know can get a little bit you know because it's not going to seep into the back i don't know i'm curious i'd be curious to research that

1:01:12

make sure you got plenty of batteries plenty of uh batteries make sure you have things to

1:01:17

start a fire with you know make sure you got a lot of clothing i don't give a [ __ ] if it's 90

1:01:23

degrees outside you need to have warm clothing because you don't know where you're going to end up or what's going to happen

1:01:28

uh i would suggest wool type socks wool type clothing because it wicks away moisture and it keeps you warm

1:01:35

you don't want to get trench foot when you trying to escape you you definitely don't want that you know a little known

1:01:41

fact um would you say you said um trench foot no no before that no you

1:01:47

said something about warm yeah wool wool clothing or wool socks

1:01:54
