    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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Zack Smith on the ClusterCluck – Epi-3834
Q: Who is Zack Smith aiming this product at, and what markets are they targeting?
Primary targets are DIY homesteaders and small farmers seeking autonomous, scalable protein production, with a beta focusing on a drive unit that can attach to existing pens and eventually scaling to production units.
Zack Smith on the ClusterCluck – Epi-3834
Q: What is the stockcropper and how has it evolved over the last few years?
It started as an integrated system to move animals through corn fields, evolving into a modular drive unit designed to automate and scale protein production, with emphasis on accessibility and autonomous operation.
Expert Panel Q&A – Epi-3827
Q: Is there more chaos in the world today than ever before?
The guest argues that visibility has increased and media amplification makes chaos seem more prevalent; the practical takeaway is to focus on local resilience and community-based monitoring rather than chasing every sensational headline.
Expert Council Q&A – Epi-3784
Q: With the new bonus depreciation rules, can I buy a vehicle this year in 2025 and 100% depreciate it next year?
No. You must purchase and place into service in the same year to qualify for 100% bonus depreciation; otherwise you can still use other depreciation methods like section 179, and for vehicles the 6,000+ GVWR rule and business-use requirements apply.
Expert Panel Q&A – Epi-3823
Q: Are Red Dot magnifiers worth it for most shooters?
They can be useful in certain scenarios, but for fast, general use a plain red dot or an LPVO is typically faster and more versatile; magnifiers slow down target acquisition unless the user needs extra magnification for specific shots.
