Episode 477: There's Got To Be A Morning After (Part 2 of Winter Series 2025 Et Tu Y2k)

Show Notes Episode 477: “There’s Got To Be A Morning After” Part 2 of Winter Series 2025 “Et Tu Y2K?” This week Host Dave Bledsoe found some dusty bottles of pale yellow liquor in an old fallout shelter and woke up three days later in Nicaragua. (Again.) On the show this week Winter Series 2025 continues when we tell you all about the Y2k Prepper Movement. (Which wasn’t called that until 9/11) Along the way we learn that there are SOME things even Dave won’t eat. Then we dive right into the history of survivalism in America, going all the way to the very first Europeans. (They survived, the Indians not so much.) Then we move along to learn the difference between “Preppers” and “Survivalists” (The number of Nazi flags, basically.) Finally we detail EVERYTHING you need to survive Y2k and where you could buy it. Our Sponsor this week is Arnold’s Apocalypse Palace Returns Department, who want you to know all sales are final. We open the show with a concerned family man and close the show with Mystic Inscho who has hope for a brighter tomorrow!
