This is not easy to do. Although perhaps we make it look or
sound I guess it's not. You're not looking at anything, are you.
We make it sound easy, perhaps, but it is not. This is
a labor of love. We're doing this, but we need help. So

how many people read books anymore. I don't read books as much as I
should. I love them, but I don't read enough of them. I
need to hit the books get back to them. Really, I need to
because I was reading a lot for a while, and I have been away.
I need to return myself, so note to self. But if others
are reading and buying books, the link there on my site to bookshop dot
org. Okay, it is a Friday. We're live live on the Ochili
Radio network. Glad to be here. They say, get in where you
fit in. Somebody said that somewhere at some time. No, I remember
it. I've been trying to do that. But I mean a question arises,
where do you go if you don't fit in anywhere? It happens if
you're a misfit, happens if you're a misfit among misfits. You kind of
have to go out into the wilderness and go your own way. That's not
so bad, really, it's it's it's not the worst thing that could happen.
It's I mean, perhaps the worst thing that could happen is getting in
somewhere where it seems like you fit in, only to find out that you
don't like it too much, and then you're stuck there. I'm not claiming
to be in any sort of wonderful position. I'm not claiming to be in
a horrible position either. I'm just saying I don't fit in. But that's
that's okay. I'm not lamenting, I'm not celebrating. I'm not doing either.
I'm just kind of stating things. Let's let's be judgment free. Let's
not judge yourselves, let's not judge others. This is kind of attempt neutrality
here. Of course, will fall from that ideal. We won't make it
there, but we can we can set the ideal in place. There's there's
a lot going on. There's so much confusion. I mean, I'm always
mentioning that, like one of the topics I like to discuss, I like
to return to, is just the mere confusion of our day. Hard to
make sense of anything. I'm not gonna say it's impossible to make sense of
anything. It is possible to make sense of things. You can do it.
However, there are way too many obstacles on the road to doing so.
I mean, what we could sit here and say, well, is
it really any different than it ever has been in any given time? Are
there not unique obstacles that must be overcome? Yes? The answer is yes.
Right now, there seem to be all sorts of new ones, and
they're hitting us at rapid speed, new thousands of them every day. That
is what makes are day and age unique. Things were a bit slower in
the past. Things were a lot more steady, rocky one there had been
I mean, there's always been changes, changes over time, but they're happening
very quickly now. That is the nature of the age of transitions. So
much change in so little amount of time. It's wild. It's alchemical.
It's an alchemical process at work. Another thing I like to point out,
it's I enjoy. I enjoy in the way that one enjoys seeing something that
is absolutely ridiculous and horrible and so asinine and stupid that it's entertaining to see
it's it brings. It brings entertainment to see buddy so glibly, so blithely,
so arrogantly saying all these things. They think they know everything when clearly
they don't know a thing. The confidence, the confidence with which they speak
when clearly they don't know anything. There's a lot of that going on these
days, too, which is frustrating. Frustrates me. I try not to
let it get to me, but boy, it does. Let's be honest,
But I'm speaking specifically. Now, let's zero in on one thing.
One thing that I tend to notice I've noticed here and there as the years
go by, is people bring up the topic of alchemy, the topic comets,
and the generic sort of one liner that you get all the time.
You've seen it over and over. You've probably seen it. I've seen it,
is that alchemy was this idiotic idea by these batch of morons in the
Middle Ages that were frying their brains by smoking lead out of beakers and their
home their home laboratories. So a bunch of nutcases like smoking weird homemade like
meth sort of things that you could have made in the Middle Ages, and
they're a bunch of morons that were literally trying to turn lead into gold.
So in the process, you know, they are throwing lead and acid vapors
are coming up, they're houffing them, and they become brain dead morons.
And that's what alchemy is. That's it. People, A bunch of idiots
trying to turn lead into gold. Who's so stupid to think that could actually
even happen? A bunch of morons? Okay, move on down the road.
We know everything about alchemy. Now have you seen this before? Have
you seen anybody say that before I have. It's pretty annoying to see that
because it's a very It doesn't quite it's missing the point, right, it's
missing the point the idea of alchemy. I'm not saying here saying I'm not
like championing alchemy as this thing we all need to be doing. It's wondering.
I'm just as I was saying before. I'm not value judging good or
bad. I'm not saying it's great. I'm not saying it's horrible. But
what I am saying it is very real. It's absolutely at the core of
all these changes of almost everything that the human race does. Certainly we know
it in our world here. Alchemy is a thing. But no, it's
not about a bunch of guys make vapors in the Middle agesn't dying. That
may well have happened, and I'm sure there were guys doing that. Fine.
But the other deepper, more esoteric, interesting and important side to alchemy
is the one that delves You have to go to the philosophical side of it,
the side of things that it's not all about actual material, objective things
that you can hold. It's not necessarily all about that. Although it does
loop back around to very much affect those things and bring about change in physical
reality. It can do that, but it does that with a focus and
a beginning point. In the philosophical, in the intangible, in the abstract.
These are the things that we human beings seem appear to uniquely have the
ability to even be aware of. To be aware of abstract concepts, abstract
ideas in tangibles, to have an imagination, to be able to think of
things that aren't necessarily real, to fantasize, to imagine, to have visions
just to come up with an idea of something that doesn't exist. Yes,
when you just open your eyes to look out into nature, you look out
into nature. Nature is wonderful. It is. But nature is as it
is. That's a beautiful thing. We have the ability to look at nature
and think, well, we can do a wide range of things. We
can see it and imagine things that may or may not be there. We
might see various gnomes in the forest. Right, We might see was its
sylphs flying in the air. We might see undines in the water, might
see Salomon in the fire. Right, we might believe those things are actually
there. That's interesting, but not just that not just those four elements.
We can also just come up with an idea for like, you know,
what if what if this stick could fly through the air. You look at
a stick that came off of a tree and you goun the stick is just
laying here. There's no way it can fly. I mean, I'm not
stupid. I've never seen a stick fly, except if you count it falling
out of the tree onto the ground, if that counts as flying, but
we don't. I'm talking about it going from the ground and flying up in
the air. We can imagine the stick doing that. That can be something
in our head that exists like a flying stick. Now it seems silly,
and just thinking that isn't going to make the stick pick up and fly through
the air. It's not happening. Is just because we mentioned it happening,
And yes, that exists in our mind, and there is something to be
said after that alone. However, if we want to make dick fly in
here, you might find if you're clever enough and inventive enough, you might
actually find a way to do it. But it's not gonna happen immediately.
You're not going to have a thought. I wish the stick could just fly
through the air and then it does. That would be its own horror.
If we were able to have that kind of ability and only I mean it's
like a Twilight done episode. I think got into that. That would not
be a guest sure, given the correct circumstances. The first circumstance is merely
the idea. So we thought of it. And when you think of that,
it's what has to come first, is the idea. The idea has
to be there, otherwise what we're just gonna aimlessly walking around. You can
aimlessly walk around us, fine, I think that's good too. Sometimes that
keeps us out of trouble, can get you into trouble, but can also
keep you out of trouble. In terms of the scarier, darker sides of
alchemy, you're not going to go there. But if you're inclined to take
on the alchemical process, that's what we're talking about here. You require the
idea number one, flying stick number two. You have to come up with
some sort of clever method to do it. This is the hard part.
This is where it takes engineering know how. This is where the science aspect
things aspect of it does come into play. To figure out a way that
that stick can get up up the ground. This gets into the other thing
that you need to carry out the alchemical process, which is Time's going to
take quite a bit of time to see this idea through to completion. It's
not just gonna happen. As I said, you have the idea, it
instantly happens. Thank god, it doesn't. Now, if you're committed to
this idea, you think it's a good one. You want, you want,
you need. This is a dream you want to make come true.
Dreams really can come true. Right, that's alchemy, not just smoking lead.
Uh, Disney, you may ever see that anyway. So I mean,
let's let's just uh, let's cut ahead to some guy living in the
forest in prehistory thinking about a stick flying, and move ahead closer to our
period of time. Lots of time has elapsed. Think of a glider,
a balsa wood glider. Even falsa is wood, it's you could say it's
made out of sticks. It's the same material. It's a tree that's been
fashioned in the wood. That's a whole process in and of itself. Then
you take the pieces of balsa wood, you arrange them in such a way
that forms a glider. That when you hold it and you throw it,
it flies in the air. Now, if you want it to be self
propelled, you could do the little trick where you make a little propeller.
Maybe you make that out of wood too, I don't know. I'm not
getting super technical on Oh you need plastic, you need never whatever. You
make a propeller, you make a rubber band, you spin it on.
There, it spins, it takes off by itself. There you go.
The stick has taken flight. And once again, as I was just mentioning,
people could be like, well, blah blah blah, it's not really
stick flying. You're wrong. I think that's probably where the bulk of the
human race are. When they hear some nutcase like myself saying this sort of
stuff, they would they would be like, well, no, you're wrong,
because and you know, proceed to tell me how I'm wrong. That's
fine. I don't need to be right. However, I just find it
interesting, and I think I'm beginning to make my case here. I believe.
See, look, we have done things like this, things that seem
ridiculous. But if you go back and again, the time aspect is very
fascinating. I think it's a key aspect of alchemy as a whole, especially
if you're talking about this great work sort of concept, if you want to
put it, frame it that way as the secret societies like to do.
It's time, it's ages, it's millennia, it's many, many generations upon
generations of people working, working, building on what other people have done.
As I was saying with the balsa wood glider, simply like finding a way
to make a balsa wood I mean it's not a stick, doesn't fall down
as balsa wood. That's a processed piece of wood. There, So that
aspect wood working, it's just like one craft, one human craft. But
there's a lot of details that go into that, especially the modern version of
it that we do with machines. In all this, What are machines?
Where do these machines come from? They grow up out of the ground.
When you climb up on top of a mountain and you look out into the
vista, they're just machines everywhere there probably are now there weren't always These things
have appeared in our world. They have been generated. They have been created
by what by us how by this creative process. And yes, people are
going to say I'm mislabeling the creative process as alchemy when that's not what it
is. It's science. It says you're mentioning these I don't think so.
I don't believe that I am. I think there is a there is an
abstract philosophical reality to the human condition, to the human story, to our
history that we do not we choose most of the time not to pay attention
to. We don't want to look at that. I'm not exactly sure why,
but we don't choose to look at it in an entirely different way where
to my mind, we're taking for granted a lot of what we're actually doing,
and so much of the technologies, the various techniques and objects we fashioned,
and all of the modern marvels that we live amongst today that we have
created. We take them for granted because it's kind of easier to do that,
and we want to believe we have created the modern world solely as a
convenience. We want that's what we want it to be. We want life
to be easier, and it's easier to not think completely about what it is
we've even done up to this point. It's funny that, like sitting on
your butt and using your mind is such a labor right. It's something that
most dare I say, of us choose and want to avoid to the death,
like we don't want to go there, We do not want to think.
And I might be wrong about this. I may be wrong about this,
But it seems that way, doesn't it. It seems as though this
is the way we choose to go about our lives. And maybe it's not,
but it seems that way. And so it's with alchemy and our power
of creation, our creative power, that we have gotten into where we are
today. Things have not magically appeared whatsoever, but perhaps they have, depends
on what your idea of magic is. It is all quite practical if we
choose to view things in the standard method of viewing our world. If we
then and we can, it's good to I don't know, Okham's razor everything
sometimes that I I mean, generally, it's not a bad thing at all.
But ignoring the more arcane aspect of our nature. I don't think does
us any favors all in all, And we should remember all of the issues
that have arisen in our modern day. We're up against a lot, We've
got a lot of new issues that have arisen in this strange world that we
have built, this technological society that we live in. It's easy to sing
the praises of this world that we have created. It's also easy to tear
it down. But sticking with our ideal on the top of the show,
we're going to try not to judge either way. It's tough for me to
do. I know you can probably realize that, but I'm going to do
what I can here. I'm going to try not to tear the entire of
the modern world down as much as I would like to. But I think
it's fair to say that we haven't figured everything out. That yes, a
lot of modern problems have arisen, that so many of so much of what
seems wrong in the world today is these various things going on, oftentimes in
our own heads. Mental health, the mental health crisis. Yes it's real.
Not disparaging that idea at all, it's real. But we might find
that we've handicapped ourselves in dealing with anything within the mental scape, within our
minds. Within that app distract realm of ideas, thoughts, thoughts pop up.
And it's funny if we're talking, if we wheel back around to secret
societies, the a you could call them the progenitors, if not just the
practitioners of things like alchemy. A lot of their work has always focused on
simply the psyche and the herculean task of maintaining some semblance of peace inner peace,
very difficult, always has been, always will be. Well, the
easiest thing to say that you're gonna do is like, oh, I'm just
going to sit, I'm just going to relax, I'm going to be at
peace. The easiest thing to say that you want to do, it's the
easiest thing to desire, yet it's one of the hardest things to attain.
It's it's it's uh, it's one of those wild things baffling a confounded everybody,
uh, for for seemingly the whole of our human history. So yeah,
things like meditation and all the various meditation practices that have popped up in
occult circles and in uh, non occult circles. It's it all has that
aim. It's like attaining some semblance of interpeace, which is a good thing,
which is something we should all be striving to do that to the extent
that we're able to. So that I think I do believe that has always
been one of the aspects of not only the great work, but of you
know, occult practices generally speaking, have sought that. Now you might say
that the Western occult tradition has this added onto the search for inner peace and
self perfection. The ideal of that they're also is this aspect of the alchemical.
Like I've been outlining, it's like, yes, we can perfect ourselves.
And once we perfect ourselves, we will more we will be better equipped
to perform the alchemical process within our time, our lifetime which is short,
but we can make our contribution to it. And the only way to make
it is by going through this these practices of self cleansing and self help,
really so that we may be able to focus on the great work of alchemy,
which has everything to do with making sticks fly in the air. And
it sounds like the dumbest thing in the world, but look up in the
sky and you see flying giant pieces of aluminum flying through the air. Sure,
these days they're falling apart in the middle of the air, but we
were able to put them up there, which is impressive enough. Sure the
bolts don't stay in the door falls off, No big deal. I mean,
just the fact that can fly in the first place. Is that not
enough? Is that? Are you not impressed? Have you have? You?
Have your senses been dulled so much by mundane existence, which really isn't
that mundane at all, that you can't see the miracles that we've actually been
able to perform. It's insane the things that we've done. You have to
put yourself in the shoes of prehistoric man, which is another mystery, the
mystery of our past, which is a fascinating thing to meditate on. In
its own right. We don't really know, and we're far removed from that.
But at the same time we may not be that far from because it
is our nature, or biological nature that's still there. Our biology is constantly
in this It has been thrust alchemically into a crucible where it has to now
exist in a space where the natural world of prehistory is still here, not
only outside of us, but inside of us. It is us. We
don't only have that, we have this new whole of alchemical creation which we
have brought upon the natural world. We have has been born up out of
the natural world, because there this is artifice. All these things we've created
are artificial, but the raw substances, they've all come from Earth. We
haven't been mining things from space yet. We really want to do it,
and we seem to be on the very verge of doing that right now.
However, we have not yet taken that alchemical step. It's not because we
for lack of trying or wanting, but we haven't gotten to that point quite
yet. All of the materials that we've found, it's the Earth reconstituted.
I'm looking at a VCR right now. Yes, that's an outdated piece of
technology, but still something that would be completely alien in the prehistoric world.
It's an alien piece of technology. We're dealing with time once again. Most
important aspect of this alchemical process probably time. If you were able to time
travel the VCR back to prehistory have a human look at it, it would
probably horrify them. Honestly, they wouldn't have no idea what they're looking at.
There'd be no rhyme or reason for its very existence. How did this
thing come to be? Why is it here? Think of just all the
questions that would pop up by the prehistoric man just having in their hands something
that, again mundane and stupid to us. Everything's taken for granted. Everything,
everything we do, every day of our lives, every second of our
lives, every action we take. Nobody's thinking about anything. We just mindlessly
go about our lives, or at least it seems that's what's prescribed to us.
That's what's been prescribed. It's up to us whether we want to choke
down the pills or not. But what is emerging here, at least as
far as I can tell, is the truth of our situation, the truth
of life within the age of transitions. What the hell is going on?
That's what we all want to know. And it's not an easy question to
answer. It can be answered, not with a simple, one line,
one size fits all answer, not something that can even really properly articulate.
I'm almost doing that now, but it cannot be done. It's like the
dow. You can't label it, you can't describe it, you can't write
about it, you can't speak about it. It does it in justice.
As soon as you even begin to try that. You can experience it,
you can know it, you can know that it's there, you can know
it's real. But the second you try to put your finger on it,
it has eluded you, and therefore, in the world of books, in
the world of weights and measures, it doesn't exist. It may as well
not be real. You're telling me it's real, show me the evidence.
Okay, here, op, you've opened your mouth. It's already too late.
You see, this is the way these things work. It doesn't mean
that they're not real. It doesn't mean that they're not there. It just
means that they defy logic, they defy quantification, they defy a lot of
things. It doesn't mean it doesn't mean it's not there. It doesn't mean
it's It doesn't mean we have to forget. It doesn't mean we have to
be like, well, I only believe in stuff that's real. We don't
have to do that, not anymore. I don't think. In fact,
I think if we keep doing that, we're going to get ourselves in bigger,
bigger trouble than we already are. And we are on the path of
continuing down that road where we want to act like we know it all.
We want to act like everything that we see is everything that there is,
and anything else ain't. Therefore, get it out of the way doesn't mean
it's not there. It doesn't mean that it's having its way with us as
we think we know what we're doing. The big picture. The big picture
is this one of alchemy. It's one of human history throughout the ages.
It's one that spits in the face of our tiny lives that lasts almost nothing.
It's a difficult thing to confront for the individual. It's difficult to the
ego. It's difficult to the rational mind that knows obviously we are born and
then we almost immediately die. It's a rational, completely sane thing to realize
it's absolutely true, that's what we are as individuals. It would be stupid
not to think that. Quite frankly, we don't have to lose grip of
reality to understand these things. We don't have to pretend we're something that we're
not. It's okay, we can be humble if we can remember how to
be a big ask. But there might be a way to do it,
may still be a way to find that. We can choose to put it
a little higher on the old priority list. It's in dead last right now
on the old priority list. Humility. It's okay, But yes, what
we are doing is we are all within the midst of this grand scheme.
Of things, and the grand scheme is the natural world and the rise of
the artificial world from out of the natural world. How from whence did this
artificial world arise? We've been covering that it arose from us. We were
the vehicle, we were the conduit. Now we are not separate from that
natural world. We are a part of it. We are a part of
nature. Prehistoric man, we're going back to the garden of Eden. Prehistoric
man was living in a natural state, in harmony with nature in that time,
which is long past, long forgotten, is now only exists as a
memory of biological memory within us. And it's still there. It's still us,
as we've been saying, it is still what we are. However,
we do not live in the natural world in that state. Therefore, we
are the We are the subject and of alchemy. We are the product of
the alchemical process. We have changed, we have the artificial world. We
have produced, but in turn, the creation has recreated us. That's a
scary thought that, yes, we have built all of these things to make
life easier, life better, ideally, but what we have done is that
and the whole time, what we have been doing is altering ourselves and that's
been the point of the whole thing. If it wasn't the conscious idea all
along, it most certainly has been the subconscious idea all along. How much
of this process is conscious has probably minuscule in terms of how much has been
subconscious and just done. As a matter of course, again, how many
of us even take the time to think about anya. That's not many,
which is almost unthinkable when you start thinking about it. But here we are,
so we have reshaped ourselves. The transhumanist philosophy starts working its way in
here. You can see right, it's like, well, this is what
we have been doing, this is what we were meant to do all along.
Let's continue this project on into to the victory lap whatever that is.
That's not clearly defined. It's apotheosis, but what does that mean? And
again, that's the ideal, that's the gold to attain to, turning the
lead that base metals into the gold. It's about us. So this is
the alchemy of man, mankind, humankind. Whatever we want to label it.
I don't know, it doesn't it doesn't matter what it's called. This
gets back to that same sort of concept of you can't really label the to
you can't label man either, although we need labels to describe things with the
language, just so we can communicate some semblance of reality. It's the best
we can do. It's not great, but it's what we got. And
here we are, here, we are trying, We're trying away, we're
doing this, We're living our lives out with all of the modern conveniences.
And it begs the question, which is better, Which would have been better,
would be better if we had never started the process at all? Or
is it best that we end up here? Let's continue with the theme of
the show in not answering that with a judgment for or against. I don't
have a good answer to that. I know which way I tend my personal
inclinations. I know those I'm inclined to believe that we've personally, that we
made a lot of bad decisions and that ultimately where we are is a completely
all nearly completely and it's not. And again, philosophically, this is just
us doing what we do. But I think we've gone the wrong way here
I go, breaking my own role. But but that doesn't matter what again,
it does not matter what I think, It really doesn't. It doesn't
matter what any of us think individually, things are going to keep happening as
they do where this process is well underway. To put it, I mean,
what kind of understatement is that we've been talking about the whole human history?
Yeah, this is good luck ondoing that we're not going to do that.
We're here. We got to take what we're given. Got the hand
of that you're dealt is what you got to play out. So that's what
we're all doing. We're all playing out our hand and trying to make the
most of things. But it just seems to me that we could try to
do it with a little less ignorance than the way we've become accustomed to,
maybe talk about herculean task somewhat, just a little less ignorance than the way
we're approaching the entirety of our existence. We're doing it in complete ignorance,
complete darkness. We're living in darkness, right if we want to use the
alchemical cult symbols, we are living in darkness. Do we care? Maybe?
I don't know. These These are rhetoricals. These are the questions.
Is are we even able to put things on or we are we able to
write the course? Can we stop doing some of the horrendous things that we
are doing at present, and we have to realize our ability to do these
unnatural artificial things is multiplied greatly from that of our not even long ago,
but recent past. Alchemy is the art of multiplication. It's one way,
it's been described, many ways it's been described, but I like that description,
the art of multiplication, and that it does bring out this aspect of
really what we're experiencing now with our age of transitions. This is the great
problem that we fail, is that of multiplication. These things are taking on
a life of their own, these creations of ours, and really it's starting
to beg the question who made who? Like? Are are we living for
our creations or or our creations there for us to live? Have we made
these things to amplify and better our life? And what does it mean to
better our life? Are we just creating this buffer between us and the natural
world as it exists without our influence? Is that really what we want?
Do we want to be so far removed from all pain, suffering and all
the bad aspects, all the crone aspects of the mother Goddess that nobody wants
to look at, nobody wants to even have be around anymore. Is that
the sort of alchemical thing that's happening, is that what we the great subconscious
work we've been doing all along, is to eliminate those things that might be
Really the biggest question to ask in all of this is what do we desire?
What are we carrying out? What is that ideal? Is it to
destroy the negatives and delete be rid of the aspects of the natural world that
are uncomfortable entirely when you look to wheel back around to the transhumus again,
when you look at at them, at least some of them say, yes,
that's absolutely what we should be doing. The whole paradise engineering turning carnivores
into herbivores, which I like to joke about here on the show, joking
about the herbivverised predator's Twitter account. It's easy to have a laugh at,
but at the same time it makes a point that seems to be what we
want to do. Is whereas the goddess character was a trinity within itself before
Mary, Mother and chron we want to reduce that to a duality Harry,
Mother, not Chrone. We don't want to die, we don't want any
disease. We don't want any form of violence, I mean anything, we
don't want to be possible for those things to happen. Is is that what
we're going for? And if the answer is yes, we had better quickly
return to the philosophical side of this again, because if we think we're gonna
go about that sort of project without having any philosophy backing it up, I
can't see anything but complete and utter ruin for all of us. Am I
being am I catastrophizing? Am I am I making something out of nothing?
Am I being a fool? Have I? Am I a fool to merely
entertain the seemingly ridiculou this concept of herbal verizing predators, which I agree it
is ridiculous. However, maybe not, Maybe that is what we all want.
Maybe we're in the middle of doing that right now, and maybe because
we are, there might be a negative side of doing those wonderful things that
we just haven't noticed yet. I haven't noticed the darker underbelly to bringing total
light to the world. I haven't seen those things yet because we forgot how
to be able to see. Perhaps perhaps that's what's happening. Probably not,
I probably don't know what I'm talking about. That's what I want to be
the case. I want to be an idiot who believes in dumb ideas of
lead smoking degenerates from the Middle Ages, who certainly weren't my heroes at all,
but I believe in them that they were doing more than just getting high
and dying swift deaths. I think more was going on than just that.
And no, I'm not celebrating the fact that somebody in pursuit of a bad
idea meets an untimely end. I don't think that's a wonderful thing. I
don't want more of that to happen. I'm not championing ignorance. All I'm
doing is pointing out something that nobody thinks is actually there. Well not nobody,
but most people don't think so. I'm just trying to point something out
that I believe, and I'll admit that I believe this. I don't have
a thousand facts to lay before you to prove any of this. I don't.
I don't have to prove. This is not the ultimate expose, this
is not the truth, this is not the entire truth exposed in one podcast.
It's anything but that. It's just me thinking, just me thinking,
having some thought experiments. It's playing around with ideas, bouncing around in my
head, going playing around with the old nogging for what that's worth. Maybe
nothing? What's a thought anyway, It's not real. It's just something in
your head. You just made it up. It's all make believe. It's
all imagination. It's what children do. And then they grow up and they
realize reality. They come to know better. They come they know better.
In time, they understand that their imaginary friend isn't real. They understand that
all the fun stuff they did when a kid as a kid was probably just
a waste of time. It's probably pointless. Better to focus more on important
stuff like making money, buying things like a house and room rooms, and
getting into politics. Politics is what gets things done in the world. You
got to have a functioning, mature mind to engage in politics. That much
is evident everywhere I look the the bastions of maturity that are the political animals
out there in this crazy political jungle. We all have the nature, your
channel. We all own that it's it goes by the name various three and
four letter network names. They call it news. I call it nature.
We want to look at violence intellectual violence of the worst kind. Watch those
things, watch the watch the nature channel ze because there's a lot of them.
Right, we can't have just one thing we need. We need a
lot of choice now to satiate our need. Our needs are very particular.
We have particular tastes and we need them satiated in the ever so specific of
ways. Very important that we do that. Generalisms have to be thrown in
the trash. Wide, sweeping constant ups that pertain to everybody and everyone,
and that might have some way of connecting people with one another and realizing that
we're all really the same as one another. Those things are horrible. I
hate stuff like that. That stuff is the devil. Actually, if you
like anything that does anything like that, you worship Satan. You are of
the devil. Go to church, and when I say church, I mean
a political rally to get your favorite candidate in office. That's what church is,
a tent revival, the campaign trail. Go there today to be saved
by Jesus or his emissaries, which are oh so quick to raise their hand
and say me, me, me, I'm the emissary, I speak for
Jesus. They're doing a public service, they're doing good. They're really making
a better place. It's such a wonderful world out there. Pretty soon that
cron aspect of nature is just going to evaporate without even any effort. Because
we're doing everything so great. I think we're not going to die anymore.
Boy, that's gonna be cool. We get to experience this paradise we've created
for all eternity. Well, I couldn't think of any greater way than the
spend eternity than in a political tent revival to get my favorite candidate elected.
That's just my idea of the perfect eternity, my idea of hell. Well,
there's not time to get into hell. One thing I can tell you
is it's the exact opposite of what we're doing. Now. That's all you
need to know. And don't ask me again. Ask the person who is
telling you that they know everything and that their best friend is Jesus. They
hang out with them when they go home, they're best buds. Ask them,
they'll tell you all about them. I don't know. I never met
the guy. I haven't met him. I've heard about him. Historical character,
interesting, interesting history there, fascinating read about it. They wrote books
about it, bookshop dot org The Age of Transitions. You could buy a
Bible, you choose the version you want to read. My favorite version is
the one that's got snippets of the Constitution in it, which itself has probably
been edited for it to keep things pure and safe for the kids, of
course, always for his children. Luckily, my ranting and raving ends here.
The show is over, and we're all happy for that. It's going
to be the Uncle the podcast coming up next, and that's gonna be wonderful.
It's gonna be a lot of laughs every Friday on the Ochli Radio network,
the podcast Stay Tuned. This was the Age of Transitions The Age of
Transitions dot com. My name is Aaron Franz. I leave you by saying
Secret Segard. The War State by Michael Swanson explains the great national transformation that
took place and put the Kennedy presidency in the context of the times and reveals
never before published information about the Cuban missile crisis. President Kennedy would not have
been assassinated if he had been president two hundred years ago. His assassination took
place in the context of the Cold War and the rise of the national security
state. Before World War II, the United States was a continental republic.
In the decade that followed, it became an imperial superpower. Generals such as
Curtis LeMay not only wanted to invade Cuba, but knew that there were short
range missiles on the island aren't with nuclear warheads that they could not destroy because
they were on mobile launchers. Their invasion could have led to a Third World
War, and they wanted to go to war anyway. The War State by
Michael Swanson reveals why and will show you what President Kennedy was up against.
For more information, The Warstate dot com, Oh Chili dot com a revelation
through conversation. Let them know, Let her know out Chili dot com.
Hoey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey. This
is a Montasey podcast. Code wait, code wait, go wait here we
pick up your I pass your cellphones and him in listen to I'll go to
the podcast. Watch out. If you're sitting down for this or if you're
standing up, the better get ready for this because it's gonna hit the air
drums. I'll go the podcast you were listening to Uncle the broadcast. My
name is Aaron. The nephew needs to start a show. Uncle. Hello,
ladies and gentlemen, three hundred and something. I don't know. Three
three to two, uncle, oh, three three to two. That's we
finally got a number. Not so hard, right, yeah, last week
I'm trying to find out what it was. Now, well we have we're
going to talk about tonight, three thirty two coming at you, all right,
yeah, this what's that have tonight? Since we have no calls?
Well actually actually yeah, actually coming talking about I'm talking about this is a
very interesting chow gonna be tonight. Okay, I'm just trying eating these chills.
Okay, let's get into this. Let's get it tom ewings. This
is the way to eat the shells. Pew them. Oh then you don't
have the headache to pew them, keep teeling them. But a lot of
these people do when they have pistachio. We're talking about pistachios. Yes,
said pistachio. Okay, yes, And and and open them up and then
just and then hand the show to eat. So much easier to eat it
that way than having to open them up for ten minutes. Uncle, I
got a big question for the listener's sake, right, They got to picture
this now. If they're not watching one of the lots, you're running the
live stream right now, Aaron, right, yes, yes, okay,
live not only on a Chili dot com but on our live streams YouTube sausage,
So people don't get the visuals. But I need to ask uncle something.
Does he eat? Now? I haven't seen these in years because I
don't go near him anymore. But does he eat the pistachios that used to
have the red dye on him? Or does he eat the regular natural ones?
Because I mean I won't. I haven't seen the red ones in years,
but I'm told they still are out there. Do you eat those?
Or do you eat the play ones? Just they're playing pistaches a large.
When you talk about I've seen the red ones. I know they have like
this red coloring on it for some reason. Is it spicy? I can't
remember. There's no, there's no spice. No, no, no,
that's not They make spiced ones now, they make flavored ones. Now.
I see those right next to the wonderful ones that I see in the store
all the time. But no, there used to be red ones out there
that just for some reason, and nobody ever explained this to me, just
had red dye on them. Now. I don't know if they have that
in every country, but all over America we used to have vending machines.
You know, we can get like a handful of gum for a quarter or
a dime. Uh, you know, with the little kids toys and all
that. I'm describing this for other people in other countries because we got people
listening uncle in Germany. Let me let me take a look at how many
countries are listening. I'll give you the list real past. Oh, we're
in Germany still. We're at that pub and that pub. Yeah, but
you're those guys in the pub were at the Yeah, we're being played them.
We're being played in Germany at the pub. And there is another listener
in Germany. So there's two in Germany in two different places. There's Australia.
I see up there. I see the United Kingdom. I see Mexico.
I believe that says Baja. So I guess that's like you know that
that part of California Mexico. Technically it's Mexico south of all that. Yeah,
land wise, I mean you could walk from where California ends into Baja,
right, anyways, just saying, so they're listening there UK. We
got that, oh another UK. And I thought I thought Spain was up
there, but I don't see it now. I don't think it's up there.
I don't think it was. Maybe I was seeing things and what is
this flat? Wait a minute, say check. They know Mayella when they
come up, they know Mala, so they off show up and they know
what to avoid. Uncle. But some of these people are your show.
Some of these people. Some of these people are listening early in the morning.
I think it is in Switzerland. What time is it in Switzerland?
Because we got to we got a Swiss listener at the moment as well.
Gosh, i'd have to look at the world clock. I'm bad with the
time zones. It's got to be at least eight hours behind us here in
California, maybe more like ten. You more like it. Let me see
what time it is in Switzerland. Okay, just I'll do the I'll look
it up. Okay, okay, but yeah, but Uncle eating pistachios.
Well, I wanted to let these people in these other countries know that in
America, we used to have these red ones all the time, and you
would just get red ink all over me. It was like ink like they
were soaked in red for some reason. Anyway, uncle eats the plain ones,
right, he doesn't get the hot salted or no no, no,
no no no that ones. Okay, so they may try him, no,
I kick might try him because he's got a uh a pit like uh
louis is uh what do they call it? The taste? He lost his
taste? Oh, he doesn't taste under the hot stuff. You mean he
can't feel the burn from heat when he eats hot Wait wait, oh,
I think it's starting to burn him off. Oh wow, Okay, so
maybe he ate so much hot stuff and burned his taste buds away. But
you and I take that's it. That's it. That's what gotcha. You
and I we appreciate the regular salty pistachios. And what you're telling people is
the right way to eat him. So go ahead. I'll shut up now.
But I want to let these people in these other countries know that we
used to have this in America. Goot, but this morning, but but
the steam thing, they went having this compensation at the dinner table, and
say, you know what he's doing, missus sykicked said we take these it
and it just eats them up, eats him up, tear's it. She
found it. She found it humorous that you sat there and took an entire
large bag pistachios and shelled all of them and then emptied that into its own
back into the bag once you took all the shells out, and then you
eat it from there. She thought that was humor. But but what ideal
is I put them in the green container, all the ones I'm gonna eat.
Okay, you see it's I'm telling you it's easier and having no dang
headaches of peeing them. And then you're gonna say, get it clean ache,
get it cleaned it. I'm all they cleaned up as eating this peanut
and and and all they're doing, they're doing just the opposite of they're just
eating the inside to tearing the peanut up and making them more of a mess.
So what you're saying is you take all the shells off, put all
of the pistachios to start with, throw it out away, get it out
of the way. You know, uncle, They they do sell them with
no shells on them. Now too, where you just get them no shell
they're already done. You know that I've seen ads for those. Yes,
I would like to that's your kind, fine, because I'm sick and tired
of them the way. Then then they're gonna say, you got to make
less mess? Right to make less mess? Here's what I'm thinking, Eric,
Do you get uncle the wonderful ones or you just get them like a
clear bag of whatever? Yes, sadly, and I do not endorse or
encourage anybody to do this because the wonderful company is owned by scum bags.
Of course. Uh it's it's it's too long to stay, to get into.
But the short persion of stories, we shouldn't be buying these things at
all. They're bad people, they have bad practices. But you know what,
pistachios are good, I understand. I mean, look, I eat
beef jerky every once in a while. Let's not go there. But the
thing is beef. That company makes a kind that I think instead of it's
usually in a black bag, I think it comes in a green bag and
no shells. The shells are already gone, so that would be another way
to do it. But that's a company making them for people exactly the way
that you recommend all the work you put in probably cost a couple of dollars
more because they do the work of getting rid of the shells. Did you
know that. I didn't know that they did that. Yeah, okay,
I mean, but I mean, but then they put it in the pig
without the shell. Yeah. But what I'm saying is, but what I'm
saying is you open up the bag. It's already done, no shell,
you know what I mean. Yeah, I still like it that way for
something. I'm dead din it that way. So I said, oh,
we got shells here, I'm gonna do this thing to you. That's the
correct way to do. We know that we have to. That is the
correct way to eat a shell. I mean, but they just want to
make the more the people here when they buy the shells, they want to
just make more of a mess. We love that they and then they can
clean it up. I'm not doing the cleanup. Uncle Creative Accents is in
the twitch chat and he's there. He's asking that or he's saying he wonders
if uncle would rather peel shrimp or pistachios the same. That's the same Uncle
me personally, when I eat shrimp, I don't even bother peeling it.
I eat the shell on it well, and sometimes yet sometimes it's okay,
depending on what kind of shell it is. Yeah, I'm trying to remember
if you leave the shell on too, Do you leave the shell or do
you do you take it off? I can't remember what your practice is,
but mine is just to eat the whole damn shell. You guys are crazy.
You're telling me you leave the shell on shrimp like it's a soft shell.
Cra Yes, schuck. Not only will I eat the shell, but
if there's the head, and I prefer that there is, I'll eat that
whole thing too. I had I'll tell you what it's Sometimes it's okay.
You're all the time. You're on another level. You're eating a shrimp with
a head on it. That's an ugly good shack cow shrimp hed shrimp shrimp
heads. Oh you should try it. I'm telling you don't. Don't.
Don't knock until you throw it up. Okay. Yeah. Sure. From
the people that say ran stressing is good on pizza, I guess that's the
entire state of Ohio, Chuck. I only lived there. I'm not from
there, and I'm perfectly happy to laugh at their dietary choices. Therefore I
rest your mental cases. All right, that's a mental case. Then you
have eaten the shells. But though, but though, in fact, I
had actually want some up here, just from Minxico trimp. No, oh,
pay attention, sidekicks, stay stay on topic here you see and see
my text message too, by the way, so I can put them in
potting and came up. Now they were the ones that were already peeled.
I'm sure. Yeah, yeah, okay, you took the shelves off.
Okay, so you brought them up to you. I did see you eat
those. Okay. Good. So now you're all energized, you got your
protein, and you're ready to go. You can be able to pull off
this show. It's going to be a great one. I'm excited. Uncle.
We could choose to do something crazy tonight if you want what would you
want to do? We could open up the phone lines if you want to.
Let's try him for tonight. You want to try it, then let
us see what's what's hanging out there. Okay, we do have the phone
line set up, right shot. Oh yeah, the the phone line is
set up. So, uh, you want me to give out the number?
Sure, sure, let's get going. It's been a little while,
you know for this, Well, it's been a little while. Sidekick might
have forgot the number by now, I don't know. So how about it.
Oh he's got Hey, you're telling secrets now. They probably can't even
see that on the live stream. Okay, So three one nine five two
seven five zero one six. Once again, that is three one nine five
two seven five zero one six. That is the number to call to join
Uncle on the show. Or you can reach out to me Charles dot Ocelly
on Skype, ask me to and I will call you into the show.
How about that. Yeah, that's great, Thank you. Check than colors.
Yeah, let's say it. We have. We have a lot of
excitement in the chat room. Uh, creative accidents is accent. Hear you
the first day, the first time he lets him talk, he's yeah,
please call in creative crazy accidents. You call him. But he's saying in
twitch now in the chat he's saying, have you guys been to Texas Roadhouse
barbecue where they serve your peanuts and everyone throws peanut shells on the floor.
Yes, yes I have. I have been there. I've seen that happen.
But do you know they stopped it. They did. They stop it
for what reason I don't understand. The reason is because of people with peanut
allergies. Yes, peanut allergies could be so severe that even the shells being
on the floor could like have somebody flare up. And they don't want to
have a legal case on their hands because of it. I didn't even I
didn't hear that about that supplied to me. I never because I know the
last time that happened me wait, eating peanut and near it the ships,
you know. Yeah, on the East coast. Though Uncle might have run
into this before at a place called this is a fairly famous but small chain
called the Ground Round. I don't know if Sidekicks ever been at a place
called the Ground Round that used to be a joint in New York, New
Jersey. Yeah you ever heard of it? No? No, I haven't
even heard of it. No one. The place was famous for you would
walk in there and it was crunching like you were living in the projects,
cause, you know, except that would be cockroaches you'd be crunching, but
so many of them every steps as you're going through, because peanuts shells all
over the floor at the Ground Round no kidding, but it sounds like fun.
I mean, I'm not opposed to shells being all over the place.
And it's a cool gimmick. It's fine. It's fun to eat and just
throw stuff everywhere, to wallow in your own filth, so to speak.
Well, they did that. They did that. And the other weird thing
they did is they projected Heckel and Jeckyll cartoons on the walls. I could
never understand what the theme was there. But yeah, anyway, okay,
a schizophrenia could be like, let's simulate being insane, speaking of I'm not
opposed to the idea, mind you, I'm just saying, uncle Shechelle's we
love them, we hate them, we like to peel them. It's a
fun thing. It's that you like to do. You do you do do
it my way? They you can't do away. There's two kinds of kinds
of people. How they want to do it. Yeah, you can't on
you that I'm not not on colorphone. Call Oh god, let's have this
call the phone. So, okay, call her. You're on you.
Oh, I got some pistachio information. What's that cat? Is that?
Uh? They're nactually so actually, when you get them without the red.
That's because they bleached them. Oh dang. Oh, so that's what Chuck
is trying to explain and trying to understand. They should be read. They
should be then kindness. I did not know that. I don't know that
process food there and process food. Jimmy, are you cracking a bunch of
pistachio shells right now? I here crackling going on? What is that you
go? Right now? That's a cracking? Your phone? Your phone acting
up? He's calling from the ground round. Yeah, that's what it sounds
like, you know. I let me see something. I'm looking at some
articles here about this red pistachios thing. Jj. I got to challenge you
on this. I don't think they were natural. Yeah, according to some
article I'm reading here, it says they weren't. But let me let me
dig into this a little more. It says that the tradition of dying pistachios,
they died them red, originated with a Syrian importer who died his pistachios
read to distinguish them from his competitors, but that this actually wasn't their natural
state, and they even came in pink. I never remember seeing pink but
anyway, I got I got a couple articles on this. I'm gonna post
them in the chat room. Yeah, I know what crazy Accidents was in
Chili dot com chat room. And I think he actually has a link in
the Chili dot com chat now to a link that explains us. I don't
know either way. Maybe maybe they're naturally read, maybe they're not. Maybe
some of them are naturally read. I think he was saying some of them
are well see some of them of course. Okay, so reading from creative
accident story. Uh. For those of us old enough to remember red pistachios,
apparently there's an old old man thing, uh, partner childhood memories.
Times were simpler back then, and people called friends from land lines. Okay,
let's see now. In February twenty sixth, National Pistachio Day was February
twenty sixth. Apparently it's time to revisit the relic of the past and answer
to burning questions. Why were pistachios died red in the first place, and
why aren't red pistachios around anymore? So? Apparently again they were, Yeah,
they were unnaturally dyed red. Weird. Let's see Carter Apparently Jimmy Carter
has something to do with this. Blah blah blah. There's all kinds of
stuff here. Let's see. Let's see the history. Okay, the history
of the red pistachio. It all starts with a steer, the same thing
I was telling you before. The Syrian importer widely cultivated from Afghanistan, Mediterranean
as well as California, while Persian chef and writer blah blah blah insists Iranians
didn't. Specifically, Oh, apparently this is okay. For Iranians and Turks,
pistachios play an important role in their culture and cuisine. They're everyday snacks,
roasted, salted, sometimes a lime juice. Blah blah blah. Let's
see pistachio meatballs. They got all kinds of stuff here. Shuck, we're
experiencing some sort of technical difficulty. Creative accent says, it sounds like you
are underwater. I'm not sure what happened. Jimmy James line is cracking.
I don't know what's going on with my line, but I'll just shut up.
If I'm causing a problem, I'll go away. It sounds like something
and then that that was when he there's also some kind of snap crackle on
popping happening crackling. The crackling is coming off of Jimmy James line. I'm
sure that because if I shut him down, you'll go away on me?
What about? How can mean? Now? Yeah, That's what I'm saying,
is that even with you with your line open, unless I if I
mute you, the crackling will go away. Here. Watch see how quiet
it got. Okay, that's Jimmy's to make it sense. It sounds better.
Now, imagine that Jimmy was Jimmy's line, Jimmy's a a. Oh,
so it's Jimmy's line needs to be fixed. Never would I have imagined
that Jimmy James not talking things would sound better. That's just that's an amazing
concept. I would never imagine, nor anybody who's ever listened to this show.
This was a test in five minute tests, and we found out,
Oh, okay, the show's about to get a lot better. Back again?
Who this phone is him? Again? Hey it's the count. Oh
now that sounds much betterer. No, no, how come you don't have
no problems? I don't know you guys are like radiated or something. The
gegger Counter is going all, Yeah, what happens is when you're on Skype
and there's a noise, it drowns out like the loudest noise that competes for
the loudest noise, whichever one wins. That's what it goes with. And
when it does that, it starts to screw up things like if I'm talking
and Jimmy's crackling, or if Aaron's talking and Jimmy's crackling, if Jimmy's crackling
is louder than Aaron talking or me, then it starts to mess with it.
It goes back and forth like it's battling to pick which sound it should
actually push forward, so that that's that's what's going on. Jimmy James line
has static and therefore it was it was drowning the other the other sound.
Yeah, that's what happens. Sorry, but the couch talk fine on the
live on your website, Chuck, he sounds fine. I can just feel
like that Eiger Counter sound. What's weird right now that Chuck is on this
phone call. It's like you're screaming in my ear, like the volume of
you. Yeah, I'm sorry about that. No, but but yeah,
you down, then low him down. I'll bring my voice down. Ye.
Well yeah, it's odd. Yeah, so it's because these things haven't
been on for a while. Yeah, that's probably it. I mean it's
nothing. Well, no, I use the phones all the time. But
when you got too many noises going on, you know, it causes a
problem for competing sound. That's all. So sorry about that. I might
be a little loud because I was set for my my show before. Uh,
but there we go. I'll turn myself down a little bit and maybe
is that better? Count? Am I not screaming in your ear? Now?
Yeah? That's better? Yeah? Okay, sure you're fought fine on
your live feed your sound, but on the call, yeah, because I
have extra filters that go out for you know, it kind of controls the
sound a little better for the filter. Anyway, nobody cares about this.
I'll go back to the Pistachian. You were talking about the shells, the
shells of shells out today. Yeah, just do you have a view on
that. You got a view on now, Well, I think uh sidekick
is insane for eating shrimp pole. Yeah you know that, thank you?
You know that o'pen dying to have a nice plate if shrimp since that can't
what's his name can't find the hope, can't find the west one. And
that's when he getting made about you have to cook it? Got the hat?
Shrimp or some ugly little creatures? Are shrimp? Ugly little creatures?
Count? Or am I crazy? They are ugly? I'm allergic to them,
so I can't you know, I'm simp that's that. I'm sorry to
hear that some people. Can you one of those guys who needs an EPI
pen get? I mean he then he'd be then he would be a shame
of going fishing on the boat because there's a lot I can't. You can't
in the ocean, Okay. It's not like if shells were on the ground
and you came inside the place of the shells on the ground, you'd be
Okay, it's not like Texas. Kay, that's good. Right. My
opinion on that is, if you have a penalogy, don't go there.
Well that's true, Yeah, I get that. But somebody might be coming
there for the first time they have no idea like, oh, let's go
eat steak, okay, and I don't know, and then you know,
you get in that situation you know, let's blame the lawyers they did this.
I'd be like me going into the seafood help and mean like upset about
something like, Ah, you know, it's great to hear you count.
How have you been, man? Any other interesting things you got going on?
Uh? Doing all right? I'm eating you guys, know, walafules,
eating those nice nice I like that. I'm just freaking ginger rail from
watching the X Men show that came out. It's pretty good X Men x
Men show. Uh you remember the nineties cartoon. They brought it back.
Oh it's the animated one. Yes, it was like on fire. Yeah,
yeah, I remember that one. Yeah, they back and like it's
I don't want to say, it's still a cartoon, you know, but
now they all to have like blood in it. Mm. But they brought
like the voice actors, all the surviving ractors back. Pretty good. Okay,
cool sounds good to me. I'm younger than everyone here. You know,
I'm young and I'm nerdy. Are you still doing your twitch streams?
Count? Uh? Not as often, but I've been trying and hop on
there. You know, it's hard to find motivations for things like that,
but you know, I do stream on Twitch with that TV flash cown Pepper
usually old B movies out there. Yeah, yeah, I watched that one
stream. We've been well, we've been doing the show. What we've been
up to? Uncle? What are we even doing? I don't know.
It's just been just talking, trying to and put on putting a show.
I'm just trying to put putting to put a show together. What I can
talk about and that would be the show. But that's how I've been trying
to work my show. You see. That's the thing. Anything anybody want
to talk about, what they ever want to talk about? Tonight it was
pischio, but tonight, yeah, it was a pistachio that had to be
talked about. It had to be talked about because it was talked about this
evening family down downstairs and they're complaining about the shells and I had them split
open and you just had to eat them instead of having fun of tearing the
shells off. So he take the hope shells off and then put them in
the container. That's what I did. I mean, well, that's what
that's like, really self restraint on your behalf. I'n told like, I
don't know how you can like, you can just do that. You want
to start eating one? You don't him what you do. What I have
in my room is a yellow container of anything I put in it, like
my snacks, like boys, anything, so, but this was pistachio containing
So I said to myself, Oh, tearties, open, trumped the pistachio
in the midd in the box and get with of these dingy shells. So
I started doing it, and then I have comments from the peanut gallery in
the in the downstairs. He's going shows now it's easy to eat them instead
I have to peel them. Get with the program. Creative access says another
question uncle. In the chat, he's asking if you uncle, are the
peas can't touch the mashed potatoes? Guy? Potato guy? So so so
in other words, do you do you have to separate everything on your plate
or do you not care? You'll eat everything together? Well, no,
I havenything to get the But if something has to be peel, that's a
different story, completely different things. And if that's what he wanted, I
would say, you prefer mixing things together, even things that most people would
think don't go together. But we've done it. They can handle it.
It's just that the people when they see me eat it, they can't in
the state, they might not be able to handle it. That's a visual
thing on their party because of visual thing. That's the wad I see the
vision thing from their part because they can't understand how do you eat these things?
They can have to eat him like I can do it nice. Stummach
says, You're welcome to do it. There's a few on Instagram. I'm
different. There's all different kind of people trying to figure out push that button,
push a button, friends to see and that and that thing would would
be to open up whatever it is and start eating. M hm, No,
you following all this, Pepper, I'm trying to follow us you uh
you back when you're cold fall uncle? Oh the colts Law? Yeah,
yeah, was it costs law? You were it was cabbage or sarakoud sar
kraus salad cloud cloud back from your out. I did finish. It's starting
to get to that season. Yeah, we have to. When I when
I wanted to make the meat loaf and I still haven't gotten the meat.
Yeah, that sounds disgusting. That sounds like check. You you're just like
check saying that I'm talking Jersey boys, Jersey guys. Now, now there
is there's plenty of German immigrants around the area. My my family I think
as one of them for sure, the Franz family, they were certainly the
strangers to sour Kraut. Oh no, nothing wrong with yeah. Well the
weirder thing, it's a it's a common nation is something. That's who was
doing. My only objection to your shower in the food now here comes.
Hey, this is on my only objection to the sour crowns all right,
tension about the sound cloud because you put it in tuna fish. For God's
sake, that's what the problem is. He come up with that and pupper
tuoni fish and sour crowd your thoughts. That's horrible. Yeah, I saw
him. He put it in the big rap. It's disgusting. Well,
one man's trash is another man's food. Yeah, that's collect right now.
Listen, I want to see more of it though. That's good content.
You were getting really good engagement for that stuff. Well you were saying it's
disgusting right now. You sound like Chuck saying the same things, And hey,
you want to see it again. I don't understand you. Yeah,
that's a real catchup. Common don't forget to like us subscribe smash that dough
right now? Both, that's right, that's right. It's hard get notification.
Yeah, exactly. Really Joe Rogan got famous, you know, having
people eat like, you know, the testicles of animals and pig bladders and
stuff. Right, I mean he was doing that and cockroaches here. Have
some cockroaches and pig bladder eat that. Technically it's food. You can eat
it. You know it doesn't kill you, will kill you. I just
don't recommend it, you know, horse member or whatever. No, I
can't do it. But you know, if you're factor fifty grand, why
not? Right? If somebody want to pay me, you know, ten
grand to eat to eat his tuna fish, I'll do it all day,
no problem. You got a kick out of that, though, get yeah,
I mean all it was is you put the stuff into it. Can
you make sure the room with the spoon bo no? Uh ladle first year
I have to put mayonnaise? Oh yeah, of course? And dang yeah
yeah the salad quid? What about telling you the stomach can handle? Mine
can handle? How much are the people's problems? Are the problems like can't
handle. How much of the vinegar water from the saragrott are we pouring into
this? To you? What kind of mixture of vinegar water to mayonnaise are
we looking at? No? No, none, Just the sa karut,
dried, dried sara krauts. We have to dry it. May we put
it in a salad spinner first? Oh yeah, spinner, spin around the
salad spinner. You don't want to get one of them. It's not wet
and keeps it drying out, very important. And then and then you reduce
that in a reduction. Yeah, definitely, and definitely reduced. You gonna
ask them downstairs for the next meal. Okay, I'm gonna ask them.
And if you ask for the meat loaf, you bet it to them and
get the meat. We do that making and I and I can make it.
I'll tell you I can make it good meat. Low. People don't
understand this. Woman, get that meat so uncle can loaf it up.
That's what it's gonna I'll get down there. I'll do that. There's a
there's a promo clip and a T shirt right there. Woman, get that
meat so uncle can loaf it up. I have a party. Have man
the meat loa. You guys think it's funny. Oh, it's there,
It's not dumb. I don't think I can make a meal. We're not
gotta be to make a meal with this peedo. I've had like a baked
potato. Yeah, uncle, you gotta shape it. Yeah, uncle,
your your meat loaf is reaching mythic proportions here. This has come up several
times on the show. But I know people waiting to know when I'm gonna
make it. I have you have to have the ingredients. It's true.
You got me on that one. Yeah, you can't ingredients. You gotta
have the ingredients to do a meal. There's no loaf without the meat.
He everybody knows it. So yeah, well we'll have you have to do
this. It's true, we have to make a video where you're making your
meat. Well, it's I'm not I'm not joking. I'm serious. We
need to do that because it's important. I mean, this is one of
them that back in the past, I was making making a food and you
were adding him. Yeah we're talking about Instagram. Yes, yeah, and
this is what they have to do, have to for sure, when is
the question, I don't have to go get the meat we have the beats
or we don't. It's the issue. We don't have the beats, but
we will, yes, so something to look forward to. Well, will
make that happen. We will make the uncle's beat life happen. I'll have
to. I will. I mean, in all honesty, I won't do
it the way I described earlier. Ab I'll talk to my wife about how
we need to make this happen. One way or another. We can make
magic happen Uncle. Yeah, that could be Disney magic, but it's gonna
be magic. It could be filmed right, cle the hands and what the
menu on, the fixing the meat little it makes it make good design,
so it's a piece of art. Well it's art, yeah in a way.
I mean, then cook the meat load and you'll be seeing is it
pretty good meat load? I want to see their faces though, damn stairs,
I want to see the faces. You might have to make that part
of the video. How how they like it? You need reactions, You're
like taste testing. Yeah, can't just be making the meat loaf and look
at me like, well that's it. That's the end of the video.
We have to actually eat it and maybe get reviews kind of like the cooking
shows where the judges eat what the contestant makes and the judge it. Well
remember that show about the cooking the food and the guy in the refrigerators.
Yes, they do. That's what I would trying to do that kind of
thing. Do you remember that show count Cooking and Refrigerators? No, no,
no, they're taking the things out to cook them. Yeah, that
the show where they have a refrigerator for they take something out of it and
then once they take it out, they cook it. Is he talking about
the grocery like the grocery games, like guys grocery games, like where they
run around the grocery store and they have like fifteen seconds go get your stuff
and then you gotta cook. Well something like that. But but it'frigerated,
I think, Alana. Yeah, but they take out Okay, sit there
and start. Okay now because I remember Guy Fieri, well, yeah Fieri.
Guy Fieri did a guy's grocery like looking for the food. Well,
they made that part of the game, but they got all the stuff out
of those you know, open faced refrigerators that way. So you know,
that's what I thought you were talking about, But I guess not. Sorry,
Yeah, no, this is the other show, the other show with
the refrigerators and the food and the cooking. Yeah, I know the one.
I know. I know exactly what you mean, Uncle. We can
we can use that show inspiration. Yeah, well that's what I'm going to
use it as I don't know. This is the way the deal openator and
on. This stuff is out. We're gonna have it out on the kitchen.
So we got the the first the backboard, the the cutting board.
Cutting. It has to be on fosn. That was step one. That's
where the meat we placed it. We placed it on the cutting on the
cutting board. But it's not to cut it. No, not to cut
it, to shape it. Okay, it's where the It's where the where
the loaf takes shape. It is formed. It goes from meat to loaf
on the cutting board. Hey, you n the place uncle? Do you
remember when the place the meat loaf taste? Do you remember years ago when
there was only one cooking show on TV at all and it was Jewel Child.
Do you remember Julia Child? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Interesting. You know she had a whole background with the oss and everything.
Did you know that, Aaron? I think I remember hearing about it,
but I don't recall it now. Yeah, that sounds familiar. It's
pretty crazy. But at one point she was the only one with a cooking
show out there pretty much, and it was on PBS in like almost every
market right in the country. Just your your public broadcasting channel. Anyway,
I thought maybe you'd gotten to meet little press speak from her, because I'm
thinking that that that always had a big refrigerator on I I mean Pancakes from
Scratch. That could be a show to make pancakes from scratch, Scott.
All I had to do is give me everything with two you need two of
everything, two of everything and pancake, and I will make the pancakes instead
of half to get this. Get that, I've seen you. But you
do it, but you all do it in this little box. Oh that
is not the way to do it. It's the lazy way, uncle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will admit to that completely. Yeah way
to make a pan cake. I actually, Chuck, I was listening to
one of your shows and that guy that goes by the Greek he says that
all of this, even Uncles two and two, isn't the right way to
make a pancake. You gotta Yeah, you gotta bake an entire cake in
the pan, according to him, like you bake a cake in the pan,
and that's a parentcake. Oh yeah, right, don't even get you
get the Greek has a whole methodology to cooking that is, you know,
nothing like your average white man. You gotta tell you that, that's for
sure. So I don't know what to say. But I don't have that
recipe off the top of my head. Otherwise I give it to you.
But yeah, we ought to give that a try too. Uncle, bake
a pancake in the pan. We can try it. If it tastes better.
See if it tastes better than my specials, it could be Uncle's Greek
inspired pancake. You can always try things and to try damn they get one
sanded day. Yeah, and go downstairs and make the breakfast, and Debt
will probably open this family's eyeballs trying to hm it's not bad. Yeah,
well what if uncle, what if you cook something and Aaron cook something the
same thing and you have everyone try it and you get raided that way?
Well, it's it's truly like one of those like cookoff shows. You're talking
about it and make his pancakes from the box and then you can make your
homemade pancakes. Oh yeah, let's see who stays that's the good line,
idea, that's fair, that's feel that'll feel better, that feels that would
be interesting. Yeah, I would try that count. I think you got
something there. I think we try video line. Yeah, yeah, and
see and see who's his taste better. I don't know, that's what that's
what I want. My box kicks are tough to beat. Let me tell
you you directions looking in the back in the box and you know, no,
this is how you do it. This is how you do it.
It may not be complex, but it's a short fire away to make something
uh wonderful. Open up a box. That's what I say. And that's
how you do everything. Yeah. It might be the wick, of course,
but with the two and I put in, I can get it.
The two of everything, I can get it. Don too. So you're
saying to Cantle, go in this pancake, two candleopes, whole candalopes.
Wait a minute, I forgot how to make. I forgot the talking about
this. Now I know, two wooded two, two tea spoons of sugar,
two cattleopes, No two fish filets, flower flower, flower dough flower
okay, yeah yeah, two okay, okay, and they go from there.
Okay, that's it. That's what you start with. The two cups
of flour and then basically the cake makes itself. Then two eggs two eggs,
yes, and then whatever else goes with two of the rest. But
every okay, but it's a limited amount of ingredients. But there's every agress.
There are two. Okay. That way. It's easier that way to
figure than have to thinking, oh we we have eight, we have six,
we have then just put two of everything and it's simple and simple way
to make things. Okay. But I did that. Actually I did that
in Florida. I follow it, Oh I got you and is in Jacksonville.
I made one. Oh you were the cake maker. I was making
it okay, and they had no complaint about it. So I just wanted
to say, hey, you guys, look here you it could be good.
I'm I'm not knocking it till I try it. I would like to
have these things. So yeah, videos of making food, look for that.
Follow Uncle on Instagram at Uncle podcast. We're also at uncle podcast on
Twitter and YouTube and oh yeah, twitch too. Is also Oh yeah,
Twitch, believe some of you are watching us on there now, so thank
you for joining us there. Thank you for joining on o'chilly radio network.
We're live every Friday, Uncle. This is what we do. It's exciting,
We're talking to callers. We've got Count Popper here with us. Hey,
we hear you. Okay, I was excited. Yeah? Is Twitch
generally Count Pepper? What's going on with Twitch? Is Twitch maintaining us a
platform? Is it the platform of the future? Is it waning in popularity?
What the heck is going on over there? Man? Twitch? Twitch
is dying? I feel like you die. Is it as far as like
as far as uh for off theat weirdos like myself, you know, for
the people who don't fit in not to get into the government hour, but
uh, you know it's very normal. Oh really? Is that what's going
on? Let me ask a question, Yeah, do you want like kick?
Do you want to knock it out? That such? Because you've been
seems like you're talking about and then not getting any kind of comment back.
Well, that's what That's what I'm thinking. What you saying thinking? Maybe
because I'm engaging things, I suppose I suppose maybe I am asking that I
that's what he was asking. Uh, I think that's what what are we
doing? That's what he was wasting time on Twitch? On Twitch? Are
you wasting your time on Twitch? I don't know. It's hard to say
because it was very popular during the pandemic, which is when I got on
there, and then it seems like, I don't know, the smaller channels
are getting less notice compared to like the huge channels. There's a lot of
Twitch content where it's just like and God bless them women just like with their
top tall, not like news, but like they're playing games, like with
a brawl on like that gets like, you know, five hundred people watching
of course, and then you know it's it's hard to compete with that.
Hell yeah, it's hard to compete with that. There's no there's no competition
to you know, uncle, what are we going to do? This is
man, We have got a task in front of us. How do we
survive in this world of live streaming? What do we do? What other
could we use? We have to think about, Yeah, another kind of
plant, you know what's interesting? Popper push it out and trying to see
what we can replace it with. Well, that is the question ask ourselves.
The good thing that we have going for us is that we're able to
stream on several things at once. So I'm going to keep it for now
until I find something that seems to be a better alternative. I will say
that we're on YouTube and also Twitter X, and I'll say Twitter X has
gotten a lot of traction lately. It seems like it's getting better and better
over there. Oddly, Triple X is what I don't understand Twitter. It's
only Vin Diesel's greatest role. Uncle. I've been trying to get on my
phone. I can't get that thing. How can we forget that? Man
starts out with Romsteve Concert? How does it get that? How can it
not be awesome? It's great? Something new though, that had to be
something new. The X into town and I said, well this is something
new. I am this, But what were you saying? What's going on
here? No? I'm just saying that as long as it's not like intensive
on your computer to keep streaming on multiple sites, you just should just chance
that mhm and keep it going. I I published some thick and then there's
a site called draft the Digital where like puts everything on e books that I've
never even heard of, and you'll get sailed. So it's like, okay,
like anything that's a huge net and someone mightst a couple of bucks your
life. There we go, Uncle, just do a little bit of everything
until something sticks to the wall. I guess that's what we have to do.
We can, we can follow that template. That's fine. Yeah,
it's pretty much what we've been doing. So let's do. Hey, Pupper,
could you put that link in the chat room to that site you were
just talking about? Please? Absolute? Yeah? Would that be to the
Twitch streamers to the old chat room if you could? Yeah? Please?
Yeah? You know you want to bounce it into try to get it,
you want to get into it. I guess there's so many streams out there.
It's great. It's a it's a weird media landscape, Uncle, there's
no doubt about it. Any other new ones except the X out there.
Well, the thing is X isn't even new. However, you could dispute
that by saying it's being shaken up and changed so much by Musk and whatnot.
But and it's not necessarily all good. But I guess it's not necessarily
all bad either, because personally if I'm speaking for a personal standpoint, as
I've been saying, our stuff, our videos are getting more views over there,
I think than even even oftentimes more than YouTube. You don't know.
I gotta say something. YouTube seems to me mine. I think it's the
best. It has been. It has been the best out of all of
these shows that we've been putting it on, taking it off, putting it
on and have to big one. Okay, well are we gonna put it
on? So I kick you trying to put it on? These autogram all
these kind of shows to have to get through to my show to get to
see all of them. So what one was the best? Was the instant?
Was that one was the YouTube? The YouTube that was the best out
of every one of them? That you mean it was that should be the
best YouTube was the best that I've known it should And then you got all
these others and what's this? What's that? They got another one that right
now trying to kick it off? There's one called kick that we're on.
We actually have a kick up? No, no, that what is that?
Talk chant quick chant X. They're trying to get off from the from
your tiktoki ki kicktat band that one. Just get that out of it.
Don just get that out of him and stop talking about then think because it's
a long story, tick teck, just get it out and that can be
replaced by some of these new thumbs. Well we can, you can mention
some just make a replacement for a Yeah, they can do that. We
placed tick tech something else with something to cover, and that's I mean,
it's very easy to do. Heads just just rip off the algorithm like whatever
that congressman said, and just make your own version of it. Hey,
guys, with the last three four minutes of the show, I just want
to let you know that Popper dropped off the line somehow, and uh,
I don't know he dropped off the line. He said, the sound cut
out, and I think he hung up, And uh, Jimmy James is
still sitting there. I tried to filter out the crackle a couple of times
while nobody was paying attention, but I couldn't get rid of the crackle.
So but he's still sitting on the line. It could be shout outs.
Time gave me a shout out Uncle jahout JD this and it's about that.
Yeah, JJ hung up, So it's all you guys, okay, everybody
shut out. Who's the first Jimmy's here? Let's have the first one.
No, I just said, Aaron, Aaron, I just said, jj
hung up already. Everybody's gone now. I thought, I thought, was
there crackling away? He was? And then he hung up. Yeah,
because I said there's three four minutes left. He must have said, I
forget it. I'm not going to get on now. So he hung up.
All right, Well, uncle, we can shout somebody out who you
are. Shoutout, shut out the only audience that's been watching my show.
One the trek was mentioning, and oh the others, shout out, shut
out to you all. Shout out to you body who was watching us on
the livestream. Cool. Do you remember that time when Benjamin Fulford said that
an Asian secret society was going to dispatch ninjas to take down the Illuminati.
Oh that's interesting, Yeah in the klatoon. Yeah, did that ever work
out too good? No? It didn't, did it? But here on
Ocelli dot Com Radio network, things work out a bit better, don't they
much better? It's clew and understanding about the programs. The programs much clear.
Getting live people into it. They really have a good conversation going much
better, much better scene. I say, forget Benjamin Fulford and his Ninjas
and listen to the Ocelli dot com radio network. I agree, it's straight
to the point, straight talk, and I like that idea. Oh Chilly dot com
