    Welcome to the Following Films Podcast. I'm your host, Chris Maynard. Today, I'm sitting down with Matt Johnson and Jay Carroll to talk about Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie. If you've followed their journey from the early web series days to the cult-hit TV show, you know the drill: two guys, zero songs, and a delusional obsession with booking a gig at the Rivoli in Toronto. This time around, the stakes are hilariously high, we're talking skydiving into the Skydome, accidental time travel fueled by a discontinued bottle of Orbitz soda, and a DIY mission to 2008 that is as heartfelt as it is ridiculous. It's a brilliant mix of guerrilla filmmaking and high-concept adventure that you have to see to believe, so make sure to check your local listings for showtimes. Before we jump in, if you enjoy this conversation, please remember to leave a review and subscribe, it really helps the show grow. I hope you enjoy the show.

    When an Australian thrash band that never broke big in the U.S. gets compared to early Metallica, Slayer, and Maiden in the same breath, you know you've stumbled onto something special. This episode dives into Mortal Sin's 1986 debut Mayhemic Destruction—a ferocious, drum‑heavy, DIY thrash record from Sydney that plays like a missing puzzle piece in 80s metal history.Across the conversation, the hosts unpack how Mortal Sin emerged out of Australia's pub‑rock and Buffalo‑style heavy scene into a faster, more aggressive sound after drummer Wayne Campbell discovered Metallica through tape‑trading in 1984. They trace the band's rapid rise from self‑funded studio upstarts to landing a global deal, touring with Metallica, Megadeth, and Testament, and struggling with that classic “too big for pubs, too small for arenas” problem back home. Along the way, they dig into the band's revolving‑door lineup, eerie mystery around the original drummer's disappearance, and the evolution of Mortal Sin's sound across later records.Musically, the episode zeroes in on what makes Mayhemic Destruction such a compelling outlier in 80s thrash. The drums and low end dominate the mix in a way that completely inverts the American template, forcing listeners to dig for the guitars and exposing a strange, rewarding hybrid of thrash, New Wave of British Heavy Metal, power metal, Motörhead grit, and proto‑death‑metal experiments on the title track. There's plenty of love for the riffs, time‑changes, and dark modal choices in songs like “The Curse” and “Lebanon,” but also honest criticism of the limited, Hetfield‑ish vocal approach and the odd sequencing choices that bury some of the strongest material in the back half.If you're into 80s thrash metal, early Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, NWOBHM, or obscure Australian metal bands that never quite got their due, this deep dive into Mortal Sin and Mayhemic Destruction is absolutely in your wheelhouse. It's a conversation about more than one album—it's about how geography, timing, and weird production decisions can turn a record into a cult artifact waiting to be rediscovered.Episode Highlights0:00 – Mayhem from Sydney – Setting up Mortal Sin, Mayhemic Destruction, and why this Australian thrash debut matters in the 80s metal landscape.5:05 – Battle jackets and logos – Gavin's origin story with Mortal Sin via patches, Kerrang! mags, and why some bands lived as imagery long before you ever heard a note.7:00 – Band history and lineup chaos – From Sydney origins and early rehearsals with Lino to global deals, tours with Metallica and Megadeth, and constant guitar player turnover.12:05 – DIY Mega Metal and Hetfield's stamp – Recording at 301 Studios, self‑releasing the album, mailing it out like a zine, and landing James Hetfield's 1986 endorsement.17:20 – “The Curse” – How the opening riffing, harmonics, and dissonant second‑guitar lines signal that Mortal Sin aren't just copying Bay Area thrash.22:30 – Drum mix from another planet – Why the massive, low‑end‑heavy drum sound flips the usual thrash hierarchy and changes how you hear the riffs and groove.24:50 – “Lebanon” – Dark, almost Slayer‑like scales, Dokken/Mr. Scary vibes, and how this track becomes a standout for mood and melody.25:30 – Thrash without a ballad – The near‑total absence of slow songs, the fake‑out intro of “Liar,” and what that says about the band's commitment to speed and aggression.30:15 – Honest strengths and weak spots – Praise for the riffs and rhythm section, plus a candid look at the limited vocals, buried mixes, and backward‑feeling sequencing.35:25 – Album art, demons, and Sydney in ruins – The Dungeons & Dragons‑style cover, nuked‑city imagery, and why this screamed “Tipper Gore nightmare” in the 80s.35:30 – “Mayhemic Destruction” (title track) – Proto‑death‑metal vocals and blast beats a year before Death's Scream Bloody Gore, and why burying it as the closer was a smart move.40:30 – Live vs. studio – What the 20th anniversary live tracks reveal about the band's true sound compared to the unique, drum‑heavy studio mix.[45:00 – Final verdict – Is Mayhemic Destruction a worthy album, a decent single, or a lost cult gem in the Australian thrash canon?Love uncovering 80s metal obscurities and lost thrash gems?

Tamara shares her journey into literacy specialization, breaks down the difference between what we do as SLPs versus what teachers do, and offers practical tips for assessments, engaging reluctant readers, and supporting multilingual learners. You'll also learn how to make literacy therapy fun with books, games, and culturally responsive practices that honor the whole child. Whether you're wondering if you're "doing it right" with literacy or looking for fresh ideas to bring into your sessions, this conversation is full of insight, real talk, and reminders that connection always comes before data collection.Bullet Points to Discuss: The SLP's unique role in literacyAssessment tools and DIY informal probes you can create today Making literacy fun for students who hate books Multicultural considerations and ethical assessment practices Building holistic services that see the whole childHere's what we learned: SLPs use a therapeutic language lens—targeting morphology, semantics, and syntax, not curriculum standards. Create your own informal probes for vocabulary, directions, inferences, and verbal reasoning. Engagement is everything—use themed books, games, and enthusiasm to hook reluctant readers. Ethical assessment requires case histories and bilingual resources for multilingual learners. Connection over data collection—know your students as whole people, not just IEP goals.Learn more about Tamara Anderson: Website: http://buildingsuccessfullives.com Website: http://andersonmulticulturalbooks.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/buildingsuccessfullives/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BSLSpeechLanguage YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKUwYkbSnH987kX5qxmBkrQ Speech Therapy PD: https://www.speechtherapypd.com/presenters/tamara-andersonTeachers Pay Teachers: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/store/tamara-andersonFreebie: WH Questions: The Three Snow BearsLearn more about Hallie Sherman and SLP Elevate:

    How long does it actually take before you start seeing more traffic and inquiries from SEO on your therapy website?SEO blogging for therapists can feel like a slow-burn strategy, but it's one of the most reliable ways to step off the social media hamster wheel. Waiting months for momentum can feel painful, especially when you want clients now. But I went from basically zero traffic to 7–10K visitors a month, and I've watched therapists inside my signature program, Liberated Business, experience the same shift once they committed to the long game.In today's episode, I'm breaking down what really happens in the first few months, how results compound between 6–12 months, and why many therapists feel the biggest difference around the one-year mark. I'll help you figure out whether you should DIY your SEO or hire support, and how to spot red flags so you don't waste money on someone who overpromises.If you're a therapist who's curious about SEO but overwhelmed, impatient, or unsure whether it's worth it, this episode will give you realistic expectations and a clear path forward.Topics covered on SEO Blogging for Therapists: The realistic SEO timeline from early indexing to compounding trafficWhat keyword cannibalization is and how to stop competing with your own blogsSEO blogging for therapists success stories, including my own journey from zero to 7-10K monthly visitorsThe truth about how blogs work (hint: most people don't read the whole thing)When it makes sense to DIY and when hiring will save you timeWhy SEO brings traffic but can't convert clients for youMy favorite SEO blogging resources for therapistsConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachResources from this episode:Liberated Business: www.thebadtherapist.coach/liberatedbusinessDevotional Sales Strategy: www.thebadtherapist.coach/shop/p/devotional-sales-practice

    routine Routine: The Most Underrated Survival Tool | Episode 587 Hey, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com. It's 45 degrees, I can barely see, and today we're talking about routine — why it's a great survival tool, how it helps you now, and how it helps you later. Routine is one of those preps that benefits you in the “for now” times and in the “oh crap” times. In a stressful situation, you fall back to your lowest level of training. So the higher you make that floor, the better you perform. And routine is how you raise the floor. You Will Fall to Your Routine Under Stress There's a part of my brain that loves routine. I didn't fully realize that until I got older, but I thrive on it. I get legitimately irritated when something messes up my routine. My morning coffee routine is streamlined. Optimized. Efficient. I've tweaked it over and over to make it faster so I can get out the door on time. Lately it's gotten too long, and I may need to rethink it — but the point is this: Once something becomes routine, you don't debate it. You just do it. That's powerful. Because when life gets chaotic, you don't rise to motivation. You fall back to habit. Eating Routine: Stop Letting Hunger Make Decisions Meal timing and food planning are huge. Yes, there's nuance. Yes, fasting can have benefits. Yes, you don't need to force-feed yourself at 9:00 if you're not hungry. But if you consistently don't plan food, you will make bad decisions when hunger hits. Your brain only has so much willpower. Decision fatigue is real. Every food choice drains a little bit of mental energy. If you don't plan, eventually you'll say, “Screw it,” and grab whatever is easy. Consistency beats intensity every time. I've seen people do crash diets — thousand calories a day, one meal a day, massive swings — and sure, they lose weight. Then they binge five pizzas and gain it back. Sustainable routines win. For me, that means: Meals prepped Protein prioritized Food ready before I'm starving If I'm not hungry at the exact time? Fine. But it's there when I need it. No panic decisions. Sleep Routine: Your Immune System Depends On It Sleep is massive. Bad sleep tanks your immune system. It wrecks hormones. It crushes recovery. It makes everything else harder. I try to go to bed at the same time every night. My wake time is consistent. Even on off days, I rarely sleep in past 5 or 6 a.m. When you wake up at a consistent time, you're proactive. When you sleep until noon, you're reactive all day. You're behind before you even start. Dial in: Bedtime Wake time Light exposure Supplements if needed Consistency compounds. Money Routine: If You Don't Plan It, It Plans You There's a quote floating around — if you don't plan your money, your money will plan you. It's true. When I review the budget regularly, everything works. We know where the money's going. Savings grows. There's less stress. When I don't? It's foggy. It feels tight. You wonder where everything went. Routine budgeting reduces anxiety. It reduces decision fatigue. It increases control. The more you can automate — savings transfers, bills, investments — the fewer decisions you have to make. Less friction means fewer mistakes. Fitness Routine: The Cascade Effect Fitness might be number four on this list, but it's powerful. A solid training routine creates a cascade of positive effects: Better sleep Better insulin sensitivity Better mental clarity Better mood I'm planning a body recomposition phase. That requires structure. I need a clear plan for when I train, what I eat, and how I recover. Again — routine lowers friction. You don't argue with yourself. You just execute. Final Thoughts Routine is boring. Routine is not sexy. Routine doesn't go viral. But routine raises your baseline. And in survival — whether it's job loss, stress, health issues, or disaster — baseline matters. Dial in: Food timing Sleep schedule Budget reviews Fitness structure You don't need perfection. You need consistency. This is James from SurvivalPunk.com.DIY to survive.

    Deep in the Yorkshire woods, multi-disciplinary artist and producer Jamie House – aka Hamie Jouse – has been quietly splitting light into a thousand tiny rainbows. Best known for his hypnotic visual installations and art direction across DIY music spaces from Old Red Bus Station to Resonance, House found himself at last year's Watching Trees festival doing something beautifully meta: filming daytime trees to project back onto their evening counterparts through a cascade of prisms. The “arty bullshit” behind it, as he puts it, was about bridging gaps of time and space and memory – creating past tense ghosts of daylight. But really, “it just looked pretty, and the trees and sun had it all covered.” Whilst setting up his spectral light show on the Bush of Ghosts stage, Tia and Wil (that's us) caught wind of the music he was playing. What unfolded in those early morning hours was something special – patient, ambient-soundscapes with a deep understanding of the fractal nature of the forest, where every process is made up of countless sub-processes doing their best impression of one solid bit. This mix captures that philosophy; energised yet gently held, pulsing yet ambient. Mirroring both the slow, steady rhythm of plant growth and the constant, quick reactions within the cells. There are rarely right angles in the forest, just lots of individual leaves doing their thing- a benevolent collusion with the kodama, those forest sprites that House channelled through his psychogeographic, hauntological light work.

    Don and Dude keep the “I Love the 80s” trip rolling into 1985, when rock grew darker and more spiritual while RB slipped fully into the age of drum machines and neon-lit bedrooms. One of us drops the needle on a brooding British rock record that turns goth shadows and psychedelic guitar into stadium-sized transcendence, while the other sinks into a self-produced Michigan R & B debut where DIY cassette demos, sensual slow jams, and Minneapolis-inspired grooves rewire romance for the electronic era. The AlbumsThe Cult – Love (1985) The Cult's second album finds Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy fusing post-punk tension, psychedelic guitars, and classic rock heft into a moody, hypnotic sound that feels heavy without ever turning hostile. Producer Steve Brown surrounds chiming Gretsch riffs, tribal grooves, and spiritual lyrics with spacious, atmospheric mixes, creating an elemental world where songs like “Nirvana,” “She Sells Sanctuary,” and “Brother Wolf, Sister Moon” chase transcendence more than aggression. Across its eight-minute epics and goth-tinted anthems, the record helps define mid-80s alternative rock by proving that big riffs, ritualistic repetition, and belief can make rock feel massive and mystical at the same time.Ready for the World – Ready for the World (1985) Cut largely in a Flint, Michigan studio and kept in near-demo form, Ready for the World's self-titled debut turns a shoestring, self-produced setup into a sleek blend of synth-funk, electro grooves, and unabashed bedroom RB. Melvin Riley Jr. and company lean on drum machines, DX-era keys, and smooth tenor vocals to deliver everything from slow-burn seductions like “Tonight” and “Human Toy” to the Prince-adjacent smash “Oh Sheila,” which briefly fooled listeners into thinking it was a Minneapolis release. The album's platinum run and crossover chart success show how mid-80s RB could sound futuristic and intimate at once, nudging the genre toward the stripped-down, synth-forward sound that would shape Quiet Storm and early New Jack Swing.Diggin' AlbumsThe Molotovs – Wasted on Youth (2026) A punchy London debut that slams together punk urgency, new wave hooks, and garage grit, tracing modern youth burnout and identity crises over short, shout-along anthems built for sweaty club stages.Mr. Mister – Welcome to the Real World (1985) A polished 80s pop-rock landmark where shimmering synths, big choruses, and studio-perfect performances turn “Broken Wings” and “Kyrie” into FM radio staples with quietly existential streaks.Softcult – When a Flower Doesn't Grow (2026) Canadian twins Mercedes and Phoenix Arn-Horn deliver a grimy, shoegaze-leaning full-length that weds fuzzed-out guitars and hazy vocals to unflinching songs about gender violence, trauma, and systemic misogynyBartees Strange – Magic Boy (2026) A shape-shifting set that pulls folk, emo, hip hop, and indie rock into intimate, guitar-forward songs, reconnecting his early acoustic roots with the expansive, genre-scrambling vision of his later work.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support by subscribing, rating, reviewing, and sharing.“Hey, how come Andrew gets to get up?

    In this episode of Project Synapse, the hosts discuss how "agentic" AI has rapidly accelerated and become widely distributed, using the explosion of OpenClaw (with claims of ~160,000 instances) as a sign that autonomous agent tools are now in anyone's hands.  Hashtag Trending  would like to thank Meter for their support in bringing you this podcast. Meter delivers a complete networking stack, wired, wireless and cellular in one integrated solution that's built for performance and scale. You can find them at Meter.com/htt They compare the speed and societal impact of current AI progress to COVID-19's early days, arguing the pace may be even more destabilizing. They cover Anthropic's Claude 4.6 and OpenAI's Codex 5.3, including claims that Claude 4.6 helped produce a functional C compiler for about $20,000, and that a Cowork-like tool could be replicated in a day with Codex 5.3 after Claude reportedly took two weeks to build Cowork.  The conversation highlights improved long-context memory performance (needle-in-haystack-style metrics reportedly in the 90% range) and increasingly autonomous behavior such as self-testing, self-correction, and coordinating teams of agents. The hosts then focus on security: MCP (Model Context Protocol) as a widely adopted but "fundamentally insecure" connector requiring broad permissions; the risk of malicious tools/skills and malware in agent ecosystems; and the rise of "shadow AI," where employees or individuals deploy agents without organizational vetting—potentially leaking sensitive data or running up massive token bills.  They discuss incentives that push both humans and models toward fast answers and risky deployment, referencing burnout and an HBR study on rising expectations without proportional hiring. The episode also touches on realism and deepfakes, citing impressive new AI video generation (including a Chinese model "SEEDANCE 2.0" example) and how this erodes trust in what's real.  They conclude with practical advice for organizations—don't just say "no," create safe outlets and governance ("say how")—and briefly discuss wearables/AR, Meta's continued AI efforts (including the Meta AI app and "Vibes"), and the coming integration of AI into always-on devices.

    Think your state has the worst drivers? We put that assumption to the test with WalletHub's 2026 rankings, breaking down where it's cheapest, safest, and most convenient to own and drive a car—and why it rarely matches what your daily commute feels like. With WalletHub's Chip Lupo, we unpack a clear four-part framework: cost of ownership and maintenance, traffic and infrastructure, safety, and access to vehicles and repair. We go beyond headlines to the practical questions drivers actually face: How do gas prices and insurance premiums stack up? Does dealership and shop density change how well people maintain their cars? Where do theft and fatality risks really live, and how do sprawling metros skew statewide averages?Texas becomes our on-the-road case study. Ranked 13th overall, it benefits from strong access to dealerships and service and competitive fuel prices, even as fast growth and weather nudge road quality down the list. We contrast urban congestion in Houston and Dallas with the relief found on rural stretches, then look at how fatality rates include pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcycles—an essential nuance when speed limits function more like guidelines than rules. For anyone planning a move, budgeting for a teen driver, or weighing a new car purchase, the data offers a map to smarter decisions: fuel, insurance, registration fees, property taxes on vehicles, and maintenance costs all add up differently by state.We keep it useful with two hands-on segments. First, a Motor Minute on tire disposal that shows the cleanest, legal ways to recycle or repurpose old rubber—retailer returns, city transfer stations, and safe DIY options. Then we take the Lexus RX 450h+ for a deep spin: standout design, refined cabin, satisfying power, and real-world efficiency, with a few ergonomic wishes for more physical controls. If you're curious where your state lands, how the numbers are built, and what choices actually lower your total cost of ownership, this episode connects the dots from policy to pavement.Enjoy the conversation?

    Ready to dive into some seriously fun DIY projects? Wendy Glaister from Wendy Glaister Interiors joins Eric G and John Dudley in this hour of Around the House to dish out her top creative ideas for late winter 2026. We're talking about projects that are perfect for when the weather outside is frightful, but your home doesn't have to be! From sprucing up your space to tackling some organizing (because who doesn't love a good declutter session?), Wendy's got the inside scoop to help you feel like a total design wizard. Plus, we'll dive into the absurdities of DIY—because let's face it, sometimes it's a miracle we don't end up in the ER while attempting to be Martha Stewart. So grab your paintbrush (or maybe just a comfy chair) and tune in for some laughs and inspiration! Wendy Glaister swung by the Around the House Show like a pro with her DIY cape on, and let me tell you, she didn't come empty-handed. In our lively chat, we delved into the magical world of late winter DIY projects for 2026, and boy, did Wendy have some gems to share! We kicked things off by discussing the winter blues and how tackling some home projects can really lift your spirits. Wendy, who's been battling gray skies in California, shared her own struggles of trying to find engaging projects while her husband and son were glued to their fantasy football leagues. The irony of trying to stay busy while avoiding power tools because, let's face it, she's not exactly a DIY ninja was not lost on us. But she turned that into a win by focusing on organizing and sprucing up spaces around her home. We dissected the importance of knowing your limits when it comes to DIY. Wendy's revelations about organizing and decluttering hit home hard. After all, we all know the struggle of post-holiday chaos; it's like a tornado of decorations and clutter just decided to throw a rave in our living rooms. Wendy's method of using beautiful containers not only made things look pretty but also brought a sense of accomplishment and control amidst the madness. And let's not forget the thrill of instant gratification when you see your space transformed! Sure, we laughed about the absurdity of it all, but there's a real sense of satisfaction in those small victories. As the conversation flowed, we ventured into the realm of lighting and color. Wendy talked about how even a simple change, like adding LED strip lights or swapping out a showerhead, can completely redefine your space without needing a PhD in construction. Plus, we all agreed that winter is the perfect time for a little indoor magic, as the weather outside can be downright dreary.

    In this episode of Project Synapse, the hosts discuss how "agentic" AI has rapidly accelerated and become widely distributed, using the explosion of OpenClaw (with claims of ~160,000 instances) as a sign that autonomous agent tools are now in anyone's hands.  Hashtag Trending  would like to thank Meter for their support in bringing you this podcast. Meter delivers a complete networking stack, wired, wireless and cellular in one integrated solution that's built for performance and scale. You can find them at Meter.com/htt They compare the speed and societal impact of current AI progress to COVID-19's early days, arguing the pace may be even more destabilizing. They cover Anthropic's Claude 4.6 and OpenAI's Codex 5.3, including claims that Claude 4.6 helped produce a functional C compiler for about $20,000, and that a Cowork-like tool could be replicated in a day with Codex 5.3 after Claude reportedly took two weeks to build Cowork.  The conversation highlights improved long-context memory performance (needle-in-haystack-style metrics reportedly in the 90% range) and increasingly autonomous behavior such as self-testing, self-correction, and coordinating teams of agents. The hosts then focus on security: MCP (Model Context Protocol) as a widely adopted but "fundamentally insecure" connector requiring broad permissions; the risk of malicious tools/skills and malware in agent ecosystems; and the rise of "shadow AI," where employees or individuals deploy agents without organizational vetting—potentially leaking sensitive data or running up massive token bills.  They discuss incentives that push both humans and models toward fast answers and risky deployment, referencing burnout and an HBR study on rising expectations without proportional hiring. The episode also touches on realism and deepfakes, citing impressive new AI video generation (including a Chinese model "SEEDANCE 2.0" example) and how this erodes trust in what's real.  They conclude with practical advice for organizations—don't just say "no," create safe outlets and governance ("say how")—and briefly discuss wearables/AR, Meta's continued AI efforts (including the Meta AI app and "Vibes"), and the coming integration of AI into always-on devices.

Then, he interviews Dan Flores who is the A. B. Hammond Professor Emeritus of Western History at the University of Montana and the author of eleven books on aspects of American history. They discuss his new book Coyote America which traces both the five-million-year-long biological story of coyotes, as well as their cultural evolution from preeminence in Native American religions to haplessness before the Road Runner. A deeply American tale, the story of the coyote in the American West and then across the entire country is a sort of Manifest Destiny in reverse, with a pioneering hero whose career holds up an uncanny mirror to the successes and failures of American expansionism. Then, John welcomes Stuart Delony. He is a writer and podcaster whose work examines faith, power, and the cultural consequences of certainty. A former pastor, he is the host of the Snarky Faith podcast and a columnist focused on American Christianity, politics, and end-times theology.

    Today, we're talking RV water lines and how to replace a faucet without leaks. I'll cover the tools you need, the key steps that matter, and two digital catalogs that make finding parts much easier. Eric begins by explaining the different types of RV water lines and fittings and why they can appear more complex than they are. You'll also hear what basic tools you'll need—most of which are common household tools—so you don't feel like you need a full workshop to get the job done. Along the way, the host shares a few real-life tips on planning ahead, selecting the right parts, and choosing a good time to tackle the installation. Eric also talks about the “mental side” of DIY repairs—because a mess of water lines under a sink can make anyone want to back away slowly. You'll get tips to stay calm, label lines, and keep track of connections so you don't get turned around during the swap. To wrap up, Eric points you to additional resources, including downloadable checklists, to help you stay organized and confident during RV maintenance. The goal is simple: make faucet replacement feel doable—even if you've never done it before.

    c02 The Silent Killers in Your Home | Episode 586 Good morning. It's 45 degrees, I'm dragging butt, and today we're talking about something that quietly kills a lot of people every year. Carbon dioxide. Smoke. Ventilation. The invisible stuff. This isn't sexy prepping. This is boring, basic, “why are we even talking about this?” prepping. Because a $20 device can literally save your life. Carbon Dioxide: The Cheap Life Insurance You're Ignoring I was scrolling headlines this morning and saw another story about deaths from carbon dioxide poisoning. It happens every single year. A lot. And here's the stupid part — a CO₂ detector costs like twenty bucks. Even if you don't run a propane heater, even if you think your house is “fine,” they're cheap enough that not owning one is just negligence. Modern homes are airtight. That's great for energy efficiency. It's not great if something is off-gassing inside. We run: A Mr. Buddy propane backup heater On-demand propane hot water Both can introduce CO₂ into the air. Under normal conditions? Fine. Crank the flame too high? It absolutely spikes. We've set ours off before. We've seen it climb toward 150 parts per million. The alarm goes off, we crack windows, levels drop. If we didn't have the monitor? We'd have no clue. That's the scary part. Without a detector, you literally do not know. Backup Heat Means Backup Monitoring If you're running any kind of propane heater — especially in winter — this is not optional. Yes, some heaters have built-in shutoff sensors. The Mr. Buddy claims it will shut itself off if CO₂ gets too high. Cool. I still want my own monitor. That's a belt-and-suspenders situation. Redundancy matters when the failure mode is “you don't wake up.” Also: crack a window. It feels counterintuitive when you're trying to heat a space, but fresh air matters. Smoke Detectors: The Highest ROI Device in Your House If your house doesn't have smoke detectors, I don't know what to tell you. They are cheap. The return on investment is astronomical. The ROI of not dying in a house fire? I'll take that trade every day of the week. Yes, I've had one fail before. I installed one when I built my house, it broke, and there was a stretch where we didn't have one. It happens. Then you fix it. Also: change your batteries. Do not be the person whose smoke detector chirps for three months. Just replace the batteries. Batteries: The Boring Prep That Matters CO₂ detectors. Smoke alarms. Flashlights. They all need batteries. Stock some. I bought one of those zippered foam battery organizers that holds multiple sizes. It's nerdy, but having a full case of ready-to-go batteries is awesome. Also, don't cheap out on garbage rechargeable batteries. I bought some that were labeled rechargeable and either weren't — or were just trash. They wouldn't hold a charge. When it comes to life-safety gear? Buy decent batteries. Combination Units vs Dedicated Monitors Many modern smoke detectors also monitor CO₂. That's fine. Two-for-one is great. Personally, I like a dedicated CO₂ monitor that shows parts per million in real time. I want to see the numbers. I want to watch them drop when I open a window. But if you're starting from scratch? A combo unit is far better than nothing. The goal is awareness. Radon and Other Invisible Problems Carbon dioxide isn't the only invisible threat. Radon is real. I've watched a YouTube renovation series where a homeowner tested high radon levels in a basement before sealing and fixing it. That's something you may want to test, depending on where you live. Ventilation matters. Fresh air matters. And if you have natural gas? Know where your emergency shutoff is. That's non-negotiable. Final Thoughts This episode isn't dramatic. It's not about collapse. It's about not dying from something preventable. Buy a CO₂ detector.Test your smoke alarms.Stock batteries.Know your shutoffs.Crack a window when running propane. Preparedness isn't always about big disasters. Sometimes it's about the invisible stuff quietly building up in your own house. This is James from SurvivalPunk.com.DIY to survive.

    One property can change your entire life. Less than a decade after buying your first, you could be completely financially free, like today's guest, who has one piece of advice: “Just buy something.” Cameron Philgreen bought a small house in Kansas. Less than ten years later, that home's profit allowed him to build his dream business—a coffee shop that he runs, instead of working a 9-5 job. But that's just the effect of one property. After finding BiggerPockets, Cameron knew he needed to start actually investing. His goal? 25 rentals by 2025. He did it in under a decade.  By trading comfort for cash flow (including sharing a bathroom with strangers), DIY-ing rehabs to save money, and learning how to scale instead of stress, Cameron now has a rental property portfolio producing $18,000/month in cash flow. His days consist of volunteering, running his dream business, For Keeps Coffee & Bakery, and spending time with his kids. Cameron shares how he finds perfect (on-market!) BRRRR deals with little effort, why outsourcing actually makes you more money, and the easiest way to get into the real estate investing game.  Complete financial freedom in your 30s? Cameron has it, and you're only a few years away from it yourself.  In This Episode We Cover How to build a six-figure rental property income stream in under ten years  Why just buying one property can change your entire financial future  How to get renovated, high-ROI properties using the “BRRRR” method  Trading comfort for cash flow: Would you house hack for complete financial freedom?
