Episode 871 kicks off with a cabin build update after a weekend of bad weather, mud, and making progress anyway — plus the reality of juggling two-person build tasks when life and work schedules get in the way.

Then we get into a local small-town story: a gas station attempted break-in that blew up across every Facebook group in the region… and ended with three suspects apprehended — all minors. The wild part? One of them showed up with a rifle.

From there, Minnesota keeps doing Minnesota: protests, outrage cycles, and people watching the same footage and somehow arriving at completely opposite “truths.” We also hit Bitcoin price action, the weekly guessing game, silver going on a tear, and the ongoing propane regulator saga that should’ve been a simple fix… but isn’t.

Episode 870 opens the new year with a full cabin progress update after a strong week on site, followed by a deep dive into the sudden U.S. military action in Venezuela and what it signals geopolitically. The episode also revisits the Minnesota Somali daycare fraud case — a story that exploded briefly before disappearing from the news cycle.

Along the way, Brian covers Bitcoin price action, silver market oddities, and why “seeing is believing” no longer applies in the age of AI-generated narratives.
