    Been listening on and off for a few years. I enjoyed the homesteading and lifestyle design however he loves GOP even if he thinks he’s not. He agrees with almost all of there policies and takes “owning the libs” over everything. He also claims he was right about everything all the time. I miss the old days of the permaculture pod.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Expert Panel Q&A – Epi-3850
Q: Is it better to invest in index funds or actively managed funds for someone who doesn't want to study markets?
Low-cost index funds are generally preferred; active funds often underperform after fees, so sticking with a disciplined index strategy is advised.
Expert Panel Q&A – Epi-3850
Q: Should you wait to invest in SpaceX's IPO to get a better price and price discovery?
Waiting can help avoid overpaying due to hype and insider lock-up effects; price discovery over time tends to reveal fair value better than initial IPO pricing.
Pigeons, The Forgotten Survival Animal – Epi-3846
Q: How can pigeons be used for backup communications or prepper scenarios?
Pigeons can be trained for loft-flying routing, with long-distance releases and data-capable capsules, offering an offline communication method that remains functional even when modern networks fail.
Pigeons, The Forgotten Survival Animal – Epi-3846
Q: What are the practical steps to start with pigeons on a small homestead?
Start small with a conversion loft, learn the birds' habits, and gradually expand. Avoid overcommitting initially; observe how the animals adapt to your climate, breed choices, and purpose (communication, meat, or breeding).
Expert Panel Q&A – Epi-3845
Q: How do I get obedience from my dog the first time, every time?
Focus on clear communication, consistent commands, and enforce a consequence for disobedience while avoiding anger; praise immediately when complied and correct when not.
