Join Brian and Mike for something completely different! After years of managing serious content on the UKPN (UK Preppers Network), these two friends are stepping away from the doom-and-gloom to just have a laugh. They’re launching their new YouTube podcast, “Bad Preppers,” where the only thing they’re preparing for is a good time.
Escaping the Apocalypse (Temporarily)
For anyone who’s ever spent time in the world of preparedness, you know the content can be heavy. From supply chain breakdowns to societal collapse, the topics are usually serious and often stress-inducing. Brian and Mike realized they needed a break, and they figured their audience probably did too.
“We have always tried to keep our humor through bad times here on the UKPN,” says Brian. “So, ‘Bad Preppers’ is just a podcast where we can do only that. No serious news, no doom and gloom, just two mid-life crises playing out on screen.”
The title “Bad Preppers” is a humorous nod to their main gig, signaling to their current audience that they shouldn’t expect survival tips or gear reviews. The only things they’re stocking up on here are inside jokes and ridiculous stories.
What to Expect on “Bad Preppers”
The new YouTube channel is the antithesis of a standard prepper broadcast. Imagine two friends sitting down with a couple of drinks, letting loose about life, hobbies, and whatever viral nonsense is currently clogging the internet—a true escape from the weight of preparing for the worst.
Instead of debating the best way to filter water, you might catch Mike recounting an embarrassing DIY disaster, or Brian offering his expert analysis on the newest dad-rock album. The show is designed to be a digital hangout, offering viewers:
- Zero Serious News: They’re intentionally ignoring the headlines that cause anxiety.
- Pure Banter: The core of the show is the chemistry between Brian and Mike. Expect relatable, middle-aged humor, self-deprecating jokes, and genuine friendship.
- Mid-Life Mayhem: They’re ready to share the chaos of being forty-something: strange new hobbies, questionable fashion choices, and attempts to relive their youth.
If you’re a longtime follower of Brian and Mike, you’ll get to see a side of them that’s usually reserved for the pub. If you’re new to the channel, you’ll simply find two funny guys trying to navigate the modern world with their sanity—and humor—intact.
Tune In and Laugh It Off
“Bad Preppers” is proof that even those who prepare for the worst need to enjoy the present. It’s an open invitation to put down the gas mask, stop counting the calories in your MREs, and just share a laugh.
The new podcast drops this Friday on YouTube. Subscribe now to the “Bad Preppers” channel to join Brian and Mike as they take a well-deserved, hilarious detour from the apocalypse.
