All right gang, what kind of week would it be on the active self-protection podcast if I didn't bring you an ad for palm pepper spray?

This week will be no different.

I'm particularly excited about their newest, I believe it's their newest offering.

The home defense unit, this thing is a chunker.

It's not something you want to carry

around with you probably let me keep in your house it looks a little bit like a fire extinguisher

this thing is pretty dope it gives you 20 bursts or up to 10 seconds of continuous spray although

i wouldn't recommend spraying someone for 10 seconds continuously kind of defeats the purpose

but here's the exciting part reaches Reaches up to 20 feet.

It's a stream. It's up 20 feet. It's got a pistol rip, a safety pin in it, kind of like a fire extinguisher. It allows you to securely hold the 7.2 fluid ounce unit of spray. And there is an expiration date at the bottom of the canister. Make sure you check the expiration date on your pepper spray ladies and gentlemen. This expire. do me a favor check out palm pepper spray at get dash asp.com slash palm. Get dash as

usp.com slash palm. Well, already again, welcome back yet again for the active self-protection

podcast. I am as always your host, Mike Williver, and I remain your favorite former fed with probably with pneumonia. I haven't gone to the doctor yet. We'll talk about that a little bit later. We've been battling that in my house. I just talked to Steven Katowski maybe an hour and a half ago when I was in the middle of editing that to put out to you good people. And I have, hold on, Kegan on the line. Did I say that right? You did say that correctly, yeah. We had a whole discussion about that. He has two difficult to pronounce names. So he's a pain already right off the bat before we even get started. He is in Southern Maine. He is a merchant marine cadet. I definitely want to talk about that. He is single and a student. Keegan, how are you, sir? I'm doing well. How are you doing? Not too bad.

So are you wearing the uniform of a merchant marine cadet as we speak? Is that what I'm

seeing? You are seeing our work blues, as we call them. So we have a variety of different

uniforms that gets put out in the plan of the day by the regiment of the shipment, very complicated,

but this is our work blues.

And basically we just wear that on days that we have work.

Very good.

Yes.

Not unlike the Navy.

Like the Navy doesn't really think people think that the average sailor wears that

spiffy white uniform as he's like down in the engine room. No, no, he or she does not. They wear something very, very different. It looks not unlike what Keegan is wearing right now. So the merchant Marines, as people probably know, listen to this show long enough. We have a maritime tradition in my family. My brother was a sailor. My father was a subskipper and Naval Academy graduate.
