Hey gang, check it out. I feel like sometimes I'm a little too joky, jokey when it comes to some serious stuff. And I, you know, I make jokes during the ads for Palm Pepper Spray. That's peace of mind, P-O-M-Peper spray. But I got to, for once, I've got to be real serious here. I want you to understand how important this is as a tool to you, the defender. Palm has certain points they want you to hit during their ads, so I'll hit those because they're important.

Flip Top. is a tool to you, the defender. Palm has certain points they want you to hit during their ads, so I'll hit those because they're important. Flip top, prevents misfires, so you can't accidentally trigger it, right? Strongest legal formula there is. So if there's any stronger, it would be illegal, like Sex Panther, illegal in 20 states, right? Index spring, that little ring, that colored ring around the middle,'s there for a reason. It helps you index the pepper spray so you can hold it properly, as well as a reversible pocket clip, which also for me helps me index into a knuckles I've talked about a number of times. And it's made really, really well. Look, if I had to leave the house with, if I had to choose between a gun, medical, and pepper spray,

I'm going pepper spray.

I'm going on palm pepper spray every time because I just, I've heard too many instances of it working really well and getting somebody out of a really bad bind and see, literally saving lives.

The lives of children, as I mentioned, in a previous ad.

So do me a favor.

active self-protection podcast. I'm, as always, your host, Mike Williver. And I remain your favorite.

Former Fed with me today. Thank you. Ethan, a new friend of mine, Ethan. Ethan is from Michigan, not the UP, for those who are going to ask that question, because everyone asks that question. He is single with no kids, and he owns a lawn care business, but not for long. Ethan, how are you, my friend? I am doing well. How about yourself? Not too bad. So I mentioned, I don't know if Dave P, I won't say his last name, a former partner of mine from San Diego listens or not, but he also had a lawn care business with a really great motto that I can't repeat on the show because it's mildly inappropriate. So you said you're not long for your lawn care business. Why is that,

Ethan? Well, I'm going to be joining, hopefully joining the Border Patrol. I'm thinking probably October somewhere in there. So I'm hoping I can finish out the rest of the season.

But if I end up getting in and I have to get in before lawn care season's over,

then, you know, that'll just be what will have to be. I'll have to cut it short.

Well, you can give you customers a heads up, right? Oh, definitely. Yeah.

They'll understand. So mean, green, Border patrol. I was never in the border patrol to be

clear, um, although I was, I did receive a border patrol special agent plaque on my desk for

some reason when I first got started and everybody made fun of me claiming it. It was like a false

claim to border patrol history. Um, I was never in the border patrol, but I worked with a ton

of border patrol agents and former border patrol agents who I worked with a ton of Border Patrol agents and

former Border Patrol agents who became criminal investigators and the like with my old agency.

And I have a very high opinion with the Border Patrol.

They get a bad rap.
