SPEAKERS Evan Nappen, Teddy Nappen, Speaker 2 Evan Nappen 00:14 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:16 and I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:18 and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, 2026 is just about upon us, and what’s really great to do at the beginning of the year is to take a look at your own security for yourself and your family as we start this new year. And as you know, it’s dangerous out there and you know, we’re gun owners, and we believe in defense and self-defense. There are things we need to do that include guns, but also don’t include guns when it comes to evaluating your own personal security, which is something that we all should be very concerned about. So, when you want to think about your security, particularly in your home and through your life, there are two ways to divide security. You have what is electronic security and then what we might call physical security. Evan Nappen 01:25 So, electronic security would include lighting, alarm systems, and cameras. That kind of security falls into, you know, surveillance and warnings and illumination and really is reliant upon electronic security. In terms of physical security, we have gun safes and other safes, dogs. Dogs are a form of physical security. Locks, good locks, good bars on windows where it may be needed. And of course, our firearms are the last resort of our physical security. And the idea is to have an excellent combination of both physical and electronic security. You want to cover all the bases to give you a full security umbrella. And, of course, combined into all this is your mental state, and for that, I would highly recommend Jeff Cooper’s “The Principles of Personal Protection”. You’ll gain insight into your daily life and what you need to do to have awareness and those principles. Evan Nappen 02:58 But these areas of electronic and physical security are very critical, especially today. Also, you know, electronic security, a lot of it, combines computers and our cell phones, too, as well. And so, with what’s available today, it’s kind of amazing, because it is very reasonable to have camera surveillance. I Page – 1 – of 10mean, you know, a number of decades ago, if you wanted to have cameras on your property, protecting your home, etc, it was tens of thousands of dollars. It was basically not within reach of average people to have that kind of surveillance. But now, with the advent of the internet and with these smaller, amazingly effective cameras, you know, particularly Ring and other companies, you can absolutely have great, actually, camera surveillance better than decades ago with the equipment that existed then, and for just a fraction, a fraction of the price. I mean, every person should have at least a Ring doorbell or some equivalent to that, so that you know who’s coming to your door. It films motion and those individuals that may approach, and not just individuals, but also animals, cars, and other things. This is a really great advance in modern-day technology, not just in what it does, but in the amazing, reasonable cost that you can get it done and accomplished for. Evan Nappen 04:58 Of course, there are other cameras that can work into your floodlights. Floodlights that also record and are motion driven and part of the system, the alarm system itself, which is great. Very easy to self install and put in a Ring alarm system. And they work very well. And you know, not to have an alarm system in your house with the availability of just a Ring alarm system or something else for electronic, you know, other brands too, that are out there, Simply Safe and others, is really a serious mistake, because you can get yourself and your family electronic protection at a very reasonable cost today. I mean, look, decades ago, you had to hire a professional alarm company. They had to hard wire, and they had to do all the switches, all that. What they have available today is amazing and very effective. It can give you that added peace of mind, and you can combine it with the cameras, both inside cameras outside cameras and other motion detectors. Evan Nappen 06:07 All kinds of things are out there that you can do yourself pretty darn easily and give yourself the protection. You want to combine that protection with good lighting. Lighting is also very important. Lighting helps discourage theft and other bad people. It illuminates them, and also the camera records them. It can also give you advance warning of individuals that come into your perimeter by both the camera surveillance and by the alarm itself. I mean, you know, you go to sleep at night. You have your cameras, and you turn on the perimeter of your alarm. You’re protecting yourself and your family. And you know that the physical security becomes important. You have the good locks. You have your valuables stored in safes. You hopefully have your dog or dogs, and you have your firearms. When you have that gamut of protection, both electronic and physical, you know that you’re maximizing your ability to defend yourself and your loved ones. These things today can be accomplished at a very reasonable cost, and there’s really no reason that an average person cannot have security that decades ago would have been tens of thousands of dollars. This is the new world. Evan Nappen 07:45 And not only that, it combines into apps on your phone. You’re able to control your alarm away from your home, turning it on and off. You can see what activity is going on. You’re able to look at the cameras. You don’t have to even be at your house, and you can surveil and see and get notice. It is really an amazing time when you consider what’s available in electronic security and in physical security, with the better locks, enforcers that can be added to doors. Things that can be not even as obvious, but adding tremendous security. And this is a mindset, folks. It’s a mindset for the new year. Page – 2 – of 10You should do your own security evaluation of your home and your property. Look to see if you have bushes or trees that block the view from the road, where persons can break in through a window and not be seen. Look at your lighting. Take a look. Is it lit up? Well, look at your cameras and the angles and areas that are covered by your outdoor cameras, by your floodlight cameras. Look at where you have cameras inside your home. Now, you want to be aware of your own privacy, and that’s very important. But there are places in your home that you don’t frequent all the time, basements, garages, etc., where you can have cameras to even provide interior protection should an intruder come in. These are things to consider in the full picture of your security. Evan Nappen 09:26 And if you’re able to have a dog, let me tell you, dogs can make a huge difference. You know, in surveys they’ve done on felons and criminals and such, they ask what they’re most afraid of? Well, the number one thing that criminals are afraid of is an armed homeowner. That’s right. Number one thing they’re afraid of is a homeowner with a gun. So, right there is an important deterrent factor. The second thing that felons, criminals, etc. are most afraid of is two dogs. Believe it or not, two dogs really freaks them out. That gets their attention. But even having one dog is very important, because dogs bark. Dogs are keenly aware. Their senses are better than yours and mine, superior. And dogs are an alert system. I know of cases, actual cases, where individuals were looking to do a hot robbery and, even worse, commit murder, just to randomly kill, and they went to canvas homes. And homes that had dogs they avoided, and they hit the home that didn’t have a dog. It wouldn’t matter if the home they came to had a little yapper that was barking, they avoided that home just because of the dog being there as an alert system. So, dogs are very important, very critical. I would highly recommend having a dog. The other thing is dogs, you know, they are loyal, and depending on your type of dog, most of the dogs designed for security, will happily give their life to save yours. And dogs can buy the time in between the bad guys wanting to harm you and your family, for you to get to your gun to have the ultimate protection. Evan Nappen 11:42 So, these are things you need to consider when you look at your own security and your own physical security of yourself and your family. At the beginning of the year, it’s a good time to think about it and figure how secure are you? Ask yourself, how secure are you when you go to sleep at night? Do you feel secure? Do you have camera surveillance? Do you have alarm surveillance? Do you have a dog on the lookout? Do you have your firearms? Do you know how to use them? Are you trained? And do other members of your family understand how to use these things as well? Think about these things. I want all my listeners to be safe and protected, and these are things that can help you and may make the difference. So, stay safe in ’26, folks. It’s going to be an interesting year, that’s for sure. Evan Nappen 12:36 And with the Big Beautiful Bill kicking in, with no more NFA tax, and with very interesting court cases proceeding, we may be able to enhance our security even more with guns and accessories that the Second Amendment oppressors have tried to stop us from having. So, stay tuned. Teddy, what do you have for us today? Page – 3 – of 10Teddy Nappen 13:07 Well, as you know, Press Checks are always free, and this is something that kind of came up as I was flipping through. This is actually an issue. We kind of talked about the whole idea of defensive property. So, this is out of Pennsylvania, from Kinship News by Petrana Radulovic. (https://www.kinship.com/news/pennsylvania-pets-are-family-divorce) Pennsylvania House passed a bill saying pets are family members, not objects. I’m not joking. Evan Nappen 13:45 Well, pets are normally viewed as property. Teddy Nappen 13:47 Yeah. Evan Nappen 13:48 Now they’re declaring pets to be family members. Teddy Nappen 13:53 Yep, the article talks. Evan Nappen 13:54 Can I take them as a deduction on my income tax? Teddy Nappen 13:57 I don’t know. This is the thing, though, it opens up that gate. Well, it may just might because in Pennsylvania, the House passed a new bill classifying pets as living beings that are generally guarded as cherished family members. In the bill. Evan Nappen 14:17 Cherished family members. Teddy Nappen 14:19 During divorce proceedings. There’s the caveat. Evan Nappen 14:23 Oh, okay. Teddy Nappen 14:24 It’s House Bill 92, and it passed with 121 over 82. Now going for the Senate. The argument was that the statute for special category for companion animals, where judges would then be legally required to consider the welfare of the pets when it comes to which individual gets custody. (https://pawprintoxygen.com/blogs/healthy-paws/pennsylvania-pet-custody-law-update) It’s literally taking. Page – 4 – of 10Evan Nappen 14:49 Well, some people are very attached to our dogs. We get very emotionally attached. Teddy Nappen 14:55 But it takes the whole stage of who gets the dog to a whole new level. Evan Nappen 15:00 Yeah, I guess it does. Well, maybe you can request visitation for your dog. But the problem is, well, it could be beneficial, because if it’s viewed that way, and gun owners defend their dog from harm. It’s actually may, down the road, maybe raise it to the same as protecting a human. So, that given how emotionally attached we are to our dogs, that defending our dog, you know, but it also, you know, basically it’s John Wick. It’s the entire premise of John Wick, huh, when it comes to that, as to your dog being harmed. Teddy Nappen 15:49 Well, I look at it as the slippery slope where they say it’s a fallacy, but in actuality, just because the amount of things that have opened the floodgates, cut to transgender, men can become women. You can cut to any subject where it’s like, well, they didn’t look at the unintended consequences of these actions. Where, right now, it opens that door, where could dogs not be considered property. Could you defend your dog in a self-defense? And funny enough, right out of here, out of USA Carry, it was a whole article by Brian Armstrong. “Can you use deadly force to protect your pet?” And it was one of those where he brings up a variety of scenarios where, generally speaking, if someone’s attacking your dog, you can’t just shoot them. Evan Nappen 16:41 Right. Because the dog is property, and yet, maybe we’ll see that turn around if dogs start being treated as family members under the law. But it does open it up to, well, if we start treating them as people, then how can you know, what if you have to put your dog down? Like you can’t take your kid to have them put down, right? Because that’s a person. But what about a dog or a cat, etc.? And by the way, why are we excluding cats? Do cats get covered under this, too? Cats aren’t going to be considered family members? Teddy Nappen 17:19 It says pets, so I guess dogs and cats. Evan Nappen 17:20 Oh, so wait a minute. So, any pet? Teddy Nappen 17:26 Any pet. Like my pet rock, my pet Scorpion. Evan Nappen 17:29 See now it starts to open up. Gerbils, horses, right? Page – 5 – of 10Teddy Nappen 17:37 It’s one of those. But. Evan Nappen 17:38 My pet alligator. My comfort Gator. Teddy Nappen 17:42 However, I do look at some of the positives. I know we had this whole back and forth on the right of defending property, and I think this could open things up for that. Where people could have the right in using lethal force to defend property. It’s one of those that I would like to see them iron that out more. Even in the article, he was bringing up scenarios where you could have that situation. He brought up, like a man’s walking down and you see a dog attacking your dog, and where you have that idea where you’re technically trying to defend property, from the, you know, you can shoot like wild animals attacking your dog. Evan Nappen 18:20 Well, in some states, they have laws allowing you to shoot dogs that are wild, that are feral, that attack deer, etc. Some of that’s out there, but you know, normally, though they’re viewed as property. And if we’re going to start giving them status as humans that can cut both ways. It can be problematic too. Because if an individual then shoots a dog, they may face penalties as if they shot a person. Teddy Nappen 19:01 I know. Your very first case. This is the exact issue, actually. Evan Nappen 19:04 Exactly, exactly, exactly my very first case. And, yeah, well, I don’t know. Because, you know, I haven’t discussed that in a while. Maybe I should actually tell that story here, because it is a classic of one of the earliest cases. Teddy Nappen 19:26 A tale as old as time, one might say. Evan Nappen 19:29 Yeah, this is in another state, other than New Jersey. My client was shooting coyotes out his bedroom window at three o’clock in the morning over a bait and a light, which was perfectly legal in the place where he was doing it, believe it or not. But, unfortunately, there was a dog that belonged to a neighbor that lived, not really that close, but the dog, apparently, that night, decided to run with the homeboys. You know, with the coyotes. And my client, inadvertently, shot the dog thinking it was a coyote. And what he would do is he’d shoot the coyotes and leave them there so that other coyotes came and he’d shoot them, too. He didn’t go out there to retrieve dead coyotes. Well, anyway, that night, after shooting the dog, unbeknownst to him, there’s this banging on his door. A woman is there holding her dog that’s been shot. And she’s like, you shot my dog, you shot my dog. And he’s like, oh my god, I had no clue. I had no idea. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Page – 6 – of 10Evan Nappen 20:37 And she’s all bent about it. I mean, I can understand, you know, who wants to have their dog shot? On the other hand, she should not be letting her dog run around loose. So, she calls the police, and the police come. The police say, hey, lady, we’ve told you a half a dozen times not to let your dog run loose. So, too bad. Your dog was shot, but it’s not criminal. Goodbye. Well, she’s not to be deterred, and she calls Fish and Game. Well, it so happens that there was a Fish and Game law that had relatively recently come out about shooting a dog. If you shot a dog while hunting or any other way, you were required to call it in that a dog was shot. Anyway, this Fish and Game Officer decides to be the white knight for this woman who’s hysterical and charges my client with shooting the dog and not reporting it, etc. Now, of course, it was reported because the police had come. So, it was reported, but it didn’t stop them. Evan Nappen 21:47 So, anyway, the charge moves into the Municipal Court. We bring a motion not only based on the facts, that he arguably did have it get reported because the police came, but also that this law was, in effect, a violation of his Fifth Amendment, because it was requiring self-incrimination in mandating this reporting. And when I put this through the Fish and Game Officer who in this state, they would prosecute their own cases, a couple things. He had actually gotten sick and tired of this woman who was just incessantly hysterical and just couldn’t get over this. And he had, I think, had enough of that, and realized that we were in a constitutional area on this new law, and that there actually was arguably a reporting. So, he dismissed the case without us having to actually have the hearing. Evan Nappen 22:56 And so with the case dismissed, I walked out of the court with my client, and I’m explaining to him how he can get his gun back from the Fish and Game Officer. And this woman comes running out of the courtroom. She’s at the top of the courthouse steps. She has a dozen pictures of the dog in her fists, and she’s waving them around. She’s screaming and yelling. She comes running down the steps, and she starts pounding my client on his chest with these photos of the dog, and screaming, you killed my dog. You killed my dog. And he kind of falls backwards. I’m there, and I just try to give her a command to stop. I said stop, you know, stop. Stop that. Back off, right? Trying to just command her to stop. At which time, she turns and she points her finger at me with a fistful of dog pictures, and she says, and you his mother fucking fat attorney. At which time I said, how dare you call me an attorney. And right then and there, the bailiffs grabbed her and arrested her. They took her away. My client, I’m saying him, are you okay? Are you okay? Because he’s still on the ground, and he goes, yeah, I’m okay. Man, I’m just laughing so hard I can’t get up. So, that is the famous dog shooting case. True story. Evan Nappen 24:39 And anyway, well, Teddy, we’ll see what happens about dogs taking on human status. But I want to mention our good friends at WeShoot. Teddy Nappen 24:52 It could be a voting block. Page – 7 – of 10Evan Nappen 24:54 Yeah, it could be. I wouldn’t be surprised since the Democrats are losing their illegal alien voting base. Maybe this is part of their plan. Maybe we got to get dogs to vote. But they might, who knows? Dogs are pretty smart. They probably wouldn’t vote Democrat, except for maybe some poodles. I don’t know. Sometimes they’re pretty smart, too. Maybe they’d go the right way. Teddy Nappen 25:17 A lot of golden retrievers. Evan Nappen 25:19 Yeah. Well, yeah. Well, what do you think about that? Well, goldens are pretty good. I don’t know. I don’t want to be insulting to goldens. Teddy Nappen 25:25 They’re very loving, but they’re very stupid. Evan Nappen 25:27 They are. Oh, my god. Do you know how much hate mail you’re gonna get for saying that? We love all dogs. Teddy Nappen 25:34 I’m not saying I don’t love them. I’m just saying, like golden retrievers are so. Evan Nappen 25:35 Well, they better not be only, only Democrat Golden Retrievers. We will not. Teddy Nappen 25:42 German, the German Shepherds, though, those are crazy smart, where they were open, you know, the door. Evan Nappen 25:47 The Dems will claim that the German Shepherds are fascist, racist, of course. You know, extreme right. I could just hear it. Oh, God, this is gonna get off the charts. Well, let me mention our good friends at WeShoot, who is, of course, our favorite range. Where we, you and me, Teddy. We shoot there. We train there. We got our CCARE certificates there, and lots of other good training. Great pro shop, great range. They’re located right there in Lakewood, New Jersey, right off the Parkway. Easy access. Great folks. Great environment. State of the art range, great pro shop, and a fantastic website. Go to weshootusa.com, and you can check out their website. They have all kinds of great specials and sales, and they send out news alerts and bulletins letting you know about all kinds of special deals. And actually, their emails are excellent. Even their communication is excellent with WeShoot. WeShoot members, they love we shoot, and I know you’ll love it, too. So, check out WeShoot. Pay them a visit. You’ll see why we shoot there, and you’ll see why it’s one of the finest ranges and best resources for gun owners right there in Central Jersey. weshootusa.com Page – 8 – of 10Evan Nappen 27:22 And I also want to mention our friends at the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. They are the premier gun rights defenders for New Jersey. They’re there in the courts, fighting as we speak. Fighting right now, in that Third Circuit Court of Appeals on the Carry Killer Law, assault firearms, and magazines. It’s great. We’re going to see some awesome results. I’m very optimistic here. We’re going to finally see New Jersey put in its place by the judiciary. This is great stuff. We can thank President Trump for that. Many of the judges that he has been, both his first term and second term, they’re making all the difference when it comes to enforcing and protecting our Second Amendment rights. And the Association is there litigating in federal court. They also have a full-time paid lobbyist in Trenton. Please make sure you join the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. anjrpc.org ANJRPC is the premier organization, folks, and when you belong to them, you’re going to get email alerts as to the shenanigans going on in Trenton, as to the progress in the litigation. You’re going to be on top of things and be able to take action as needed. So, please join. Make sure you’re a member. Evan Nappen 28:58 And let me also shamelessly promote my book, New Jersey Gun Law. It’s the Bible of New Jersey gun law, and if you don’t have a copy, you’re at a severe disadvantage, because it is the best anti-GOFU medicine there is. My book is written to protect law-abiding gun owners, to teach them what they need to know to try to remain law- abiding in the extremely challenging state of the Democratic People’s Republic of New Jersey. So, get your copy of New Jersey Gun Law by going to EvanNappen.com. Evan nappen.com. It’s the big orange book. It’s over 500 pages with 120 topics, all question and answer. Scan the front cover QR code there and join my private subscriber base. It’s private, and you will get email updates. You’ll also be able to get access to the archives. You’ll get email alerts from me as the law changes. Go to EvanNappen.com and get your copy today. Evan Nappen 30:08 So, speaking of GOFUs, what do we have this week for GOFU? Well, I’m going to tell you. We were just talking about security at the beginning of the show, but, you know, you’ve got to be careful with your own security. Because you don’t want to have GOFU if you’re using cameras. You want to be careful about your own privacy. You want to be careful about what you film. And yet, sometimes by not having cameras, you can be put at a disadvantage, and that can be a GOFU. So, the importance of your cameras can help you in a situation of self- defense, because it can demonstrate that you were justified. But at the same time, if you acted wrongly, it could be a problem. But since you are only going to act properly, it will end up documenting in video what occurred, and this has made the difference in cases that I’ve had where there have been Ring and other video that exculpate. That’s a fancy legal word for essentially proving or demonstrating innocence. Exculpating the client from certain charges. Evan Nappen 31:43 So, the GOFU can be a GOFU if it’s not used properly, but in this instance, the GOFU might become the opposite, an advantage, when used properly. So, consider that when dealing with your security situation, and think about the scenarios that you may have to deal with in how you place and distribute your cameras and your alarm. And how you take care of your guns and your dog and how you maintain physical security, by securing your firearms when they’re not being used, etc. These are all important considerations as you begin this new year, so that we can all stay safe.

Clark’s quote for a modern home security system came in at $2700 + $25 a month monitoring or $300 a year. Meanwhile, Clark’s been touting self-install systems for years so he decided to give it a try. Clark looked at Nest, Ring and Simply Safe on cost and features. Clark bought the Ring system for $179 on sale at Costco, complete with motion sensors, sound alarm, enough door/window coverage & keypad. He already had Ring doorbells and cameras that would fully integrate - $100 a year for professional monitoring. Christa reads listener posts about how Clark has missed the mark in his advice this week. If you have a "Clark Stinks" to share you can leave it here. Learn more about your ad choices.

Fourth Sunday of Easter, May 12, 2019 The assured feeling that we are safe:Because of who Jesus isBecause of what Jesus gives.Jesus is the Christ as attested with his words and actions—-no one else can be our Savior or give us the assurance that we have salvation.He appeared in power, to assure them of his presence and providence for what lay ahead..The risen Lord still comes with power through Word and sacrament, assuring us of his forgiveness, promising his Spirit for lives of faithful service, and guaranteeing our resurrection to eternal life..Pastor Timothy Patoka

Hey everyone!  It’s Keri TV, and today I’m talking about some of the things that make your home the smartest home out there.  I go into a lot of homes, obviously, in real estate, so I see some things in your home that really will level up your lifestyle.  Stay tuned for today’s episode.   [music]   I wouldn’t be true to myself if I didn’t start with Alexa.  Alexa is obviously the top choice for a smart home system.  Whether you like her or you don’t, if you get to know how to work with this app, it will literally change the way your home exists.  The reason is, this app connects into a lot of other different apps.  You can do anything from locking your front door from anywhere you are, turning on and off your lights, setting your lights so they go on and off at certain times, you can connect them to your shades, you can set alarms, and you can set a morning routine.  You wake up in the morning and can say, good morning.  I have three in my house.  Play my morning routine.  She can start with a positive quote.  Today I had some really weird Albert Einstein quote.  I think I’m going to tweak it.  A quote or a prayer.  She can say your affirmations.  Then, she can put on a book from Audible.  She can put on a music playlist.  Whatever it is that you love to do in the morning.  I love that little tidbit.  I just started adding that into my routine.   She can also control the security systems and look up recipes.  My favorite, and I use the most often, is music.    Of course you have to learn how to speak to her.  Try to have Eric play Camila Cabello music.  It took maybe ten times.  Like anything in life, you just learn how to use it and once you do that, it frees up a lot of your time, so when you’re running around your house in the morning getting ready or trying to leave for an appointment, you can get your schedule, your calendar that day, hit your morning routine, listen to some Drake or Justin Bieber, you know how it goes.  I highly recommend it.  I’ve got three in my house and I love them.   Another one I want to talk about is the Smart Mirror.  Obviously, if you spend some time in the morning getting ready, I just woke up like this, I’ve always wanted this.  Something on my mirror that has everything going on that day.  The weather, etcetera.  There actually are smart mirrors that are in the works.  I believe one released is the Capstone Connected Home Mirror, where you can check your Google Drive. You can write an email. You can check your schedule and the weather.  It’s all displayed in front of you while you’re looking at yourself.  The second mirror is from LG.  It scans your body type and can suggest certain clothing and have them delivered to your door. The third mirror is an advancement on that. That’s made by Artemis.  That uses artificial intelligence to predict your health and wellness. It will tell you about how a certain hairstyle will look, beauty regimes, body mass index, weight, and look at clothing.  It’s a whole beauty wellness mirror.  That is going to be twenty thousand plus, so I’m going to stick with the Google-enabled mirror.  That one sounds pretty fun.   Okay.  This third one is super cool. Smart fridges.  Obviously, the health and wellness industry is huge and booming.  Everybody wants to be on the forefront of being the best version of themselves.  It comes with your food intake, meditation, and lowering stress.  That whole thing.  There’s such a huge push on this.  You think, okay.  What can they do to help us get one step ahead?  Now these Smart fridges are so smart.  They have an inside camera, so if you’re at the store and you can’t remember if you’re low on milk or eggs – I don’t even drink milk anymore – it has a camera so you can see inside your fridge.  It also has a transparent screen on the front so you can just touch it and look to see what’s inside the fridge before opening it and using that energy.  If you just like to open it and stand and look at it, you can still do that.  Or you can just press a button, and look at it.  I think the Smart fridges are really cool.  Some of the main things they can do is coordinate the family’s schedules.  You can set up notifications when food’s expiring or notifications that you need to buy that product, which is interesting.  Then you can just tell Alexa to order it from Amazon, who will also tell you when your packages are arriving, so that’s pretty cool.  So you can set the expiration dates.  You can create individual profiles for each person.  You can create recipes and get notifications of what you need to buy for that, and then have the cameras go inside the fridge.  So many cool things.  I think the Smart fridge definitely will be one of the top things that I get.   After you have dinner, obviously, maybe it’s time to watch some TV.  I don’t like the way TVs look in certain bedrooms.  I don’t have one in my master because I don’t like the way it looks.  Either way, you could have a beautiful piece of artwork, maybe just a fireplace that you want exposed or a nice view.  The disappearing TV is just a sixty-five inch sound bar with a 4K screen that rolls up that is completely invisible when it goes down.  I know.  You’re thinking, how is that even possible?  Well, if you look at this link and look into it a little bit more for all you tech people, it’ll explain a little bit more about it.  I know this is definitely something I will be getting, especially because it’s in 4K.   You’ve got all these apps in your home and you want to protect them, right?  You’ve invested in the best technology.  You’ve got a lot of personal information on it.  What do you do?  What do you need?  It brings me to my fifth one.  Security systems.  There are many out there, Ring, Vivint, and Simply Safe, just to name a few.  Again, all of these link into each other into Alexa.  I didn’t realize I would have to film this video and not be able to say her name the whole time.  Use your Echo Show?  Anyways, all of these can tie into that app and you get notifications when people come to your door, whether that’s the doorman, not doorman.  Whether that’s someone dropping off a package.  You know something’s delivered.  Especially if you’re leaving something out and someone’s picking it up.  It’s just peace of mind to know that it was picked up.  How many times have packages gotten lost?  This way, you would know that, yes, it happened.  I was able to film it.  If you’ve got dog sitters or nannies, you can watch them coming in and out of the home.  You can also use the cameras inside for pet sitters, nannies, teenage kids, real estate agents, and a lot of different things.  You get twenty-four seven surveillance, and you get notifications when people are in the house and movement.  There are all sorts of ways to set this up.  The point is, you feel secure and safe with anybody accessing your home.   The Ring Peephole is pretty cool.  You can also set up notifications on your locks, so even though you can use that from the Echo Show to lock and unlock your door, the security system can also have those apps.  Then you can get a text when people open the door.  You can set codes that expire, whether it’s an hour.  If a contractor wants to go in, you can give them a code and have it expire.  You get notifications when somebody opens the door and locks the door.  There are so many ways to make your home extremely safe and savvy, tech enabled to give you a little bit more time to have you time.  Even if you sit back and have the Echo Show read you a book.  There are so many cool options.  My favorite, as you know, is just, Alexa, play Drake, which I do all the time, but with alarms, morning routine, knowing the weather, and seeing my schedule, Alexa and I have a really nice relationship.  There’s a lot of cool things out there.  I hope this was helpful.  I love knowing the cool and latest trends, and there’s a lot more I’ve got up my sleeve.  If you want to chat further, you know where I am.   Thanks, guys.  See you next week.   [music]

On the show today we have Kurt Johnsen, the vision keeper and co-founder of Simplified Genetics. Kurt is passionate about positively impacting the lives of people around the world. In fact, as you’ll hear in this episode, one of his strongest motivations is to do good and give back. In addition to his work at Simplified Genetics, Kurt is the senior columnist for Yoga Digest and the official yoga trainer of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. Find Out More About Kurt Here: Kurt Johnsen on LinkedInKurt Johnsen on Facebook@kurtjohnsen on TwitterSimplified Genetics In This Episode: [01:23] - Kurt talks a bit about himself and explains how he got involved in genetics. He then goes into depth about the kind of testing his company does and explain why it’s valuable compared to tests by other companies. [05:40] - Kurt goes into the dieting side of things, explaining that his tests reveals fat and glucose sensitivity. [07:43] - Is a vegan diet healthy for some people based on their genes? [08:58] - Stephen talks about a diet he’s recently heard about that involves simply tracking your macros without paying attention to the quality of the food. Kurt responds by saying he believes we need to eat things that get energy from the sun. [11:06] - Kurt talks about the impact that his testing has had, revealing that lots of people have lost 70-100 pounds after their testing. He then goes into more depth about eating and exercise. [13:54] - Stephan asks about calorie counting, then talks about a fitness tracker called Healbe GoBe Health Tracker. [15:10] - We learn why Kurt is against calorie counting, what he recommends instead, and what he believes is the reason that we’re suffering from overeating (which has to do with the fact that just one or two hundred years ago, this abundance of food would have been unimaginable). [19:30] - Does Kurt think there’s any validity to eating for your blood type? [20:58] - For listeners unfamiliar with the term, Kurt explains what Ayurvedic medicine is. He and Stephan then briefly talk about mesomorph, ectomorph, and endomorph body types. [22:36] - Kurt talks about exercise, adrenergic receptors and positions, and the fact that your body can’t tell what kind of exercise you’re doing. He then explains that there are 162 possible variations on the genetic report (based on four genes adding up to 81 combinations multiplied by two to account for gender). [27:19] - Kurt offers the example of his wife, a yoga teacher who had struggled with her body competition. He explains why his wife’s body reacted very differently than her sister’s to the same exercises. [29:28] - We hear more about how different genetic types can respond differently to certain kinds of exercise, and that it’s not as simple as “calories in, calories out.” [30:50] - How does the concept of fast twitch muscles versus slow twitch muscles fit into this equation? [32:23] - Stephen offers his specific report as an example. He’s a 70-30, meaning he should do 70% low intensity and 30% high intensity exercise. What would happen if he’s exercising in different proportions? [35:29] - Kurt talks about the PPARG, which his wife compares to an old friend who holds a grudge when you ignore them for a while. [37:46] - Stephan and Kurt discuss their relative body fat percentages. Kurt reveals how much of his body fat percentage he has dropped. [40:48] - Kurt returns to the topic of his wife’s weight struggles and reveals how much exercising for her genetic type has helped her with this. He then contrasts this to the proportions of exercise needed by people with the genetic type that he and Stephan share. Next, he talks about why high-intensity exercise often seems to stop working for women after a month or two. [43:43] - Stephan brings up the bioDensity machine, invented by John Jaquish. Kurt is unfamiliar with it, so Stephan expands on it, explaining that Tony Robbins is a fan. Stephan then explains why the machine is so expensive. [46:37] - Developing density with intensity makes sense, Kurt says, and weight training is important. [48:38] - We move from Simply Fit to Kurt’s other product, Simply Safe. Kurt explains that Simply Safe looks at the infamous APOE gene. This gene is responsible for “the response to brain insults” such as concussions or heat stroke. He goes into depth about how this gene impacts susceptibility to concussions, and explains that it’s also linked to Alzheimer’s. [52:44] - Kurt explains the different sports that he would have encouraged his son to get involved in based on his APOE type. He then describes his work with pro hockey players, and reveals why they’ve had to shelf Simply Safe for now. [55:05] - Kurt talks about a study by Dr. Daniel Amen as it relates to the APOE gene in different populations. [57:17] - Stephan doesn’t believe that the FDA has the consumer’s best interest at heart, and explains how this relates to 23andMe. Kurt agrees, stating that it’s our right to have this information that is basically the body’s instruction manual. [59:40] - Kurt doesn’t have a solution, but he explains some rights that he believes people have when it comes to genetics. He then expands on this to talk about a societal victim mentality and the importance of taking control of your life. [63:01] - Stephan runs through a few points for listeners. He then reveals how listeners can get 10% off the Simply Fit test.
