Summary
Wait! Surviving doomsday isn’t just about hoarding toilet paper?! The practice of prepping for disasters is a real thing. And that fellow shopper with a cart full of water, batteries, and canned food? Well, they could be a prepper! Even if they're not the stereotypical macho dude who wants "The Walking Dead" to be non-fiction. So with everything going on in the world right now, it's a great time for Nikki and Malone to talk to author Diane Vukovic about safe and sane prep for the next big emergency. Are you prepared to survive the Apocalypse?

| 0:48.5 | So tell the truth. |
| 0:51.7 | Hey, everybody. |
| 1:12.3 | I am so excited to dig into this show today. And thanks for being here, by the way. Okay, so here's a little bit of a humble brag alert. So the other day, I was in Costco, and I was just blabbing on my phone talking to my mom. And this really sweet woman next to me heard my voice, and she said, hey, are you Nikki Boyer? And I was like, what? So it turns out that she recognized my voice and she's a fan of the podcast. So I got off the phone with my mom, of course, |

Because my aunt side is like, why not stuck up on a few items, right? Protein bars, ibuprofen, seven or eight cases of rosé, you know, just the essentials.
