NESCO/Cary Smart Pressure Canner and Cooker – Item of the Day Jan 13, 2026

Show notes

Special Notice – I want to clear up some confusion. For a long time I have recommended the Chard/Carry Smart Pressure Canner and Cooker. That caused confusion as Chard consolidated under the Carry Brand as they were actually both brands, (think say GM and Chevy). Not long ago Nesco bought out the Cary Company. This canner/cooker is the exact same model the only thing they change is the name they print on it. You still see them both ways, they are the exact same thing. Every day I will bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or … Continue reading →

FAFO is Happening in Real Time – Epi-3785 Jan 12, 2026

Show notes

Right now all the talk in the media is about a woman who was shot in her vehicle by an ICE agent. Most of the talk is of course retarded and angled to support the left’s claim that ICE murdered a woman in cold blood. But what really happened, that is just one thing we will look at today. We will also revisit the new food pyramid we discussed on Thursday and the left’s predictable reaction to it, but what is the real source of anger about it? Also quietly last month the USDA reallocated almost 700 million dollars to … Continue reading →

Catfish a Public Resource & Awesome Food Source – Epi-3783 Jan 07, 2026

Show notes

Over the holiday break I got out and did a bit of fishing for a variety of things but mainly just some bullhead catfish to add to my back yard ponds. I also started to reorganize my gear after a recent surf trip and as part of my winter routine. Then on top if it had a text conversation with a good friend about fishing. Turns out the guy is a huge fan of catfish so I was giving him some advice on using things like range cubes for chum. He didn’t know what range cubes were so I texted … Continue reading →

Don’t Fight Fair, Fight to Win – Epi-3781 Jan 05, 2026

Show notes

This is one of the laws of life in my new book which is almost done being written. The law itself sounds simple and brutal but trust me as you will see today it isn’t really either, at least in the way it may appear to be. While we will discuss physical conflict today, this law is more applicable to the office, the board room or in family arguments then on the mean streets. You see all “conflict” is a form of a fight and all fights should follow certain principles. The first of which is the principle of non … Continue reading →

Most of today’s show is a recreation of 2008’s Christmas special. Today we pause and take a moment to reflect on Christmas and how it has become the Holiday we celebrate today.

Tune … Continue reading →

Live Free in an Unfree World – Epi-3779 Dec 22, 2025

Show notes

I woke up today and did my normal morning stuff. I then jumped on social media to sound the last alarm about the AI course going on sale today. I made the mistake of actually reading some of the posts on X. Here is something you guys do not know. While I have appeared to be “active” on X lately it has mostly just been cut and past of show announcements and such. Very much a post and ghost approach. I have been engaged in a program to improve myself a bit. You are never too old and never too … Continue reading →
