own podcast, consider using libs in as your podcast. Oh b, I
can't, maya. I'm starting to worry because sometimes I don't know if this
is just a symptom of getting old, which I am. But sometimes I
can't remember certain words. I know what they are, but I can't pull
them up. I don't know what that means. But I'm not going to
go to a doctor or anything. I'm fine. If you do a podcast,
use libs in promo code fronds two months for free. I like using
it. It's good. There you go now as we are no calls,
not taking calls still. This is Friday night. The calls will return in
due time, but for now, I'm going solo here, and hopefully I
do remember a couple words. I seem to remember the important ones. The
word the I think I've got that one down. The word A as well
as the letter A. I've got a pre firm grasp on both of those,
an, A, N. I think I understand that the These are
my favorite words, by the way, that's about it. Anything beyond that
I could be a little bit of an uphill battle. But we'll see,
we'll see what we can do. Bear with me vocabulary not what she used
to be. I guess I don't know. Whatever. It's fine, I'm
good. I've I've had it's it's been I was off last week. So
we're back again, So thank you for hanging with me, for saying apologies
for being away. We are back again, so yeah, it's good to
be here. And yeah, frankly, I don't have anything in particular planned
for the show. That won't stop me from making it anyway, though,
And we're going to make this good because there's honestly, every day I had
the sorts of things that I like to talk about on this show. I
actually have the I would call it the luxury of being able to entertain sorts
of ramblings that are doing the show. I have similar ramblings in my own
head a good portion of the day on in your daily So I'm lucky in
that regard. I'm sure most people would think that's extremely unlucky, but I
actually value that. It's a valued commodity that I hold onto that I am
happy to be able to hold for now. So I'm making the most of
it. Whether it's talking in my own head, internal dialogue, it's usually
words, but it's not always words. I mean, some people think by
talking in their head. I do that a bit, but there's more than
that too, there's more than one way to think. I think it's good
to sort of mix it up different sort of forms. I mean, the
mind can do so many things. Try to try to push it to the
limit or whatever that's worth. I might pull up some news articles. I
actually I try to get a couple of different guests on this week to talk
about the eclipse which will be happening on Monday. I don't have any information
personally, really, I just vaguely know what everybody else knows. It's going
through the continental US kind of going what it's moving northeastern direction across the or
or that's not moving across Earth. That's where it will be visible. That's
that's where here on our in our country, you'll be able to see it
in this sort of direction that goes from the southwest to the northeast. And
so if you're in any of those spots, the the eclipse will be happening
at the same time in those spots, but those that's where you have to
be in that band to see it. So if you're in that band,
I hope you do get to see it and that you enjoy it. I'm
not in it. I won't be seeing it. And that's that's okay,
no big deal on that. I can it's it's all right, it's all
right. And again I don't have any special information on it. But what
do I have? I have? Uh, let's see here I have I'm
I well, yeah, let's just go to these news articles, is what
I'll do. Let's see here. We'll go to one. I think I
saw a pretty good one. I'm pulling from Jpie Satilly's news vandal rundowns where
I usually get these news articles. So I'll pull one up that mentions north
Syrup Grumming. It's gotta be good and this is pertinent to the show.
The age transitions have title, well, where is this? What the site
is? This is an odd one English dot almadean dot net can't quite tell
this is some news. I don't know, well, that's what it is,
but it says by Almandan. I don't know if this is a news
service or what is. But anyway, the title this article is Northrop Grumman
partners with tech company to develop AI drones the US based military giants is the
new collaborations aims Okay, they worded that wrong and starting off anyway, The
new collaboration aims to improve drone capabilities using artificial intelligence. Northrop Grumman announced on
Wednesday a new partnership with EPISI to enhance the artificial intelligence capabilities of unmanned aerial
systems uas. According to the US based Weapons and Technology Manufacture, this collaboration
aims to improve the performance and functionality of these systems using AI technology. Northrop
Grumman is collaborating with EPSIDE to further develop advanced trusted autonomous tactical solutions for the
United States and its allies. Oppressed really said the company plans to incorporate epsized
tactical AI software into its aeronautics system architecture to accelerate the deployment of advanced autonomous
solutions enhancing the capabilities of its drones. Grumman stated that this move will lead
to the creation of drones capable of adjusting to evolving mission needs, which will
offer military leaders greater flexibility to operate in challenging and dynamic environments. So this
is just more of the same when it comes to the Age of Transitions,
right, I reference the UAVs and the military apparatus this when it comes to
this sort of thing. In the two thousand and eight video, I made
the Age of Transitions, and you know the Killer robots singing noise one of
those stealth helicopters with computerized noise cancelation capability. They're still working the chains out.
Wow, do you know about stealth helth coups? All dot conspiracy dot
black dot helicopters. There we go. Yeah, that's where I get my
information to So yeah, I mean nothing new. Killer robots it's a debate,
uh, I mean yeah, just more of the same there there.
First of all, the drone hit the scene. These the big manufacturers like
North of Grumman and Raytheon and all that made their drones to be used in
war have been being used for quite a while now. They're just integrating AI
systems into it. I mean, of course they are. They've been piloted
remotely this whole time, so they're basically just big RC vehicles, right,
fancy versions of that. But eventually they could be fully autonomous and pilots themselves.
I think these systems aren't full I don't think it's saying it's fully automous,
although I'm not quite clear on but I mean it's a whatever thing like
that. They can be and they will be eventually. So this is a
matter of you know, the ethics question is like will they be allowed to
be blah blah blah blah, And it's like it's gonna happen. I mean,
come on. So this is interesting because it does lead me into something
that I've had on my mind as of late. North Brumman, one of
the major defense contractors of the Old Guard. I've spoken on this show there's
the old guard aerospace companies that really are the military industrial complex. They are
the top dogs in that scene as we know it, have been since.
You know, there's a history that goes back, you know, through to
World War Two and comes up to today with these things. And so it's
fascinating to see just that, but also the new kid on the block,
the new guy coming in challenging the old guard, and there is some tension,
to say the least, between these two factions. I think they're two
factions, the old guard of the aerospace companies and the new Silicon Valley companies
coming in. Now we see here in this article that this subcontractor EPSI is
working with North of Grumman. That's how the big companies have always they've always
contracted, subcontracted out a lot of work on their big projects. They have
the big project and they subcontract out all sorts of little parts of it.
That's nothing. No, And I don't know specifically with this Episide thing,
if they're like coming from Silicon Valley or what. And Silicon Valley is not
necessarily new to you know, certainly the governmental sphere or the military sphere,
I mean, Silicon Valley you could argue just came out of that in the
first place. However, this sort of new. I mean, when you're
talking Silicon Valley, you've got the venture capital financial aspect of it that we
we know so well of Silicon Valley success and that whole so it's you can
be bounced all around. And yes, we could say, well, yeah,
I mean, Silicon Valley just came out of this world to begin with.
But what we're seeing happen now is sort of a new twist on this
whole thing where they're getting more and more of these contracts. I think there's
a competition. Really, there's a competitive thing going on, like, well,
who's gonna get more contracts? And is even the the entire setup of
like the defense contract procurement set up the Silicon Valley guys have placed themselves have
been well placed to change just the procurement of contracts. So the whole contract
side has been is in the process has been in the process of being rewired
by of all these interesting panels on artificial intelligence and whatnot. Again, our
buddy Eric Schmidt seems to be at the head of this or he's if you
want point to a name that's an easy name to point to is like,
oh, yeah, him, But of course it's not just him, it's
it's this huge apparatus. But uh, Silicon Valley. And then the old
aerospace companies. Now, if we're thinking about and it may be a bit
silly to say, like, oh, yeah, the old aerospace guys are
falling out of favor a bit, and and they're looking old and clunky,
and and there's a new kid on the block. They're better, they're they're
new, they're more they're more positioned to handle today's problems. Blah blah blah
blah blah. But I think an interesting sort of weird, synchronistic sort of
situation, something that I think in a mass psychological level is playing into this.
And I don't know if I don't think any of this is like intentional,
but it's a series of events that just kind of feeds into this whole
movement of like, oh yeah, the old guys are kind of fallen by
the wayside, and I don't know if that's even true, but the appearance
of that happening is being boosted by what, let's think of another major aerospace
defense contractor Boeing Massive one one of the big ones. Again, there's like
the top five or raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing.
I don't know if that's for there's bae Systems. I think those ones are
the biggest ones. So Boeing major aerospace, military industrial contractor what have we
the public the general public? What are we aware of Boeing in the recent
past. What have we been hearing about Boeing. Well, we've been hearing
how their jets are falling apart, right, and the once highly it was
a highly venerated company by not just industry insiders but among consumers. Right,
everybody was like, you say the word Boeing, It's like, oh,
yeah, this planes. They make the best planes, right, I fly
on them when I you know, name whatever air travel company used, and
they've got Boeing planes in their fleet. Right, So it's one of the
major commercial aircraft manufacturers. So it really I think in the public's mind when
you say Boeing, the average person thinks of a seven forty seven, They
think of flying, They think of buying an airline ticket to travel, right,
they think of that, So the average person thinks of now. Also,
less people would be inclined to think of the military, the military contract
that Boeing has, although you know they're well known for that too, that's
no secret. So, I mean, it's I just find it fascinating that
Boeing has had so many issues. And it's not just it's been a couple
of years now where they've had several they had a plane crash like a year
or two ago, They've had that door come off recently, doors have come
off a couple of times, and I've read several pieces about you know,
what happened there? And it's not a simple explanations like oh, well,
what happened? But I think it is fair to say that if you were
to boil it down, like, well, what what's going on with Boeing?
That the damn doors are coming off? What happened? If you want
to boil it down, I mean, it's the same thing that happens everywhere.
What is every company doing, oh, I know, cutting costs,
cutting corners, you know, reducing costs everywhere across the board throughout their company.
So that what why do you reduce costs to increase your bottom line to
boost your stock valuation. It's like the only thing that matters in today's business
world is like, what's the stock worth? What are the shareholders getting?
This bizarre financialization going on with these companies, like buying their own stock.
I know Boeing is huge on doing that nonsense. I mean, as soon
as you start talking about that to me, I don't know what everybody else
thinks, but whenever I hear about companies doing that, it's like, what
sort of make believe pretend game have we turned our world into? Where companies
are spending all this time and effort to buy their own stock, to do
what to boost its value, to do what to make themselves more money?
That's all they're doing. I mean, it's just it's it's annoying, like,
what the hell kind of world have we made? So anyway like that
is going on? Right, So this high faluting, highly respected champion of
the industry, Boeing, And if we're talking about the industry at this moment
in time, we're talking about the commercial airliner industry, not the weapons manufacturing
industry. Although it was it was at the height of both of those,
it's tanked, at least to the public mind. And now they are having
problems, They're having serious problems. They're Boeing when it comes to that.
So I think it's fascinating that that has been happening over the course of a
couple of years now at least that's kind of going on in the background,
or perhaps you could more correctly say that's going on in the foreground, because
that's what the public is seeing. Again, the public sees the seven forty
seven, They know the commercial airliner. They don't think so much about the
military contracts, both their massive parts of the business of Boeing. So we're
seeing and we're reading about Boeing airliners falling apart, falling into disrepair, the
company's struggling, and then in the background, what's happening within their military contracting
departments. Right now, I don't I wish I had more information specifically on
that on Boeing and how things are going in that part of their business when
you compare that to the other part of their commercial airliner business. That's something
I might have to spend more time looking into. But I will say that
that general take that I have that the old guard companies, Boeing and the
other aerospace guys are falling out of favor, at least to an extent.
They still have the majority of the big money coming in. But that seems
to be, you know, that's not a guaranteed thing going on forever.
I don't know. It's just fascinating to see these things happening, like these
two aspects and these sort of dual lives that it's the sort of like exoteric
esoteric aspect of the business world. Really, I think these companies are really
they're exemplars of that of that principle that everything, everything has an exoteric outer
appearance to it, and understanding that everybody just kind of has its you know,
consensus reality sort of things like Boeing seven forty seven's. That's the associations
that are made in the public psyche and in the public mind. What is
the immediate association you make, and this is marketing? What is the marketing
for a company? Boeing's marketing is the seven forty seven. That's the image
pops up instantaneously when you when the word Boeing is uttered. What is the
esoteric side of that company? Big military contracts, weapons systems, all sorts
of stuff. They've got, all sorts of high tech military technologies. Boeing
has had those going on for years. Don't get as much play as the
exoteric does, but nothing ever, nothing esoteric ever does not meant to write
it may be hidden in plain sight. As I said, it was no
secret that Boeing is a massive military contractor. Nobody's like pretending like this is
it's not a conspiracy theory to say Boeing has huge military contracts. I would
like to see somebody some sort of debunking thing or like I'm debunking these conspiracy
theorists that say Boeing is a military contractor this is utterly absurd, and then
actually that would be a really funny video that could be. Somebody start a
YouTube channel where you do that, where you do your your idea is you
make these debunking videos and you're debunking things that you're calling conspiracy theories but clearly
are like and and don't don't go, you know, don't go with things
that are clearly just like very run of the mill like this, like Boeing
is a military contractors, say that's a conspiracy theory, you know, don't
don't start saying like pizzagate, and then it's like the channel is dead,
like what the hell are you doing? Like you gotta you gotta know your
limits on this one. So there you go. I just gave you an
idea, YouTuber, take it and run with it. That could be really
good Because I I don't have the time to do that right now. I'm
not about to do that, but I like the thought of it. It's
a fun thought. And the information war goes on and on. The insanity
that is everything our daily lives continues. We keep arguing to ourselves in our
own heads. Just as I was saying, I have an inner dialogue that
I enjoy, I'd argue with myself in my own head. I mean everybody
does. But you know that sort of argument that we have crafted with all
of the wonderful information streams we have available to us today, all the important
issues that we feed into our brains that we spend a lot of time on,
that maybe we shouldn't all that stuff. The culture wars, boy,
we love them. Love a good culture war. It's I mean, who
doesn't two the best things? Culture and warfare both wonderful together? It lasts.
I mean, what took so long? Should have done this earlier?
And that's that's uh. Let's complain about the books in the elementary school library's
Let's take this book about Peter Rabbit out of the kid's library. That's it's
causing problems. Let's let's really get really mad about I don't know, I
don't know whatever is why not even start this? And I'm just gonna get
annoyed. But the fact that so many people are obsessed with the culture wars
and it's a major, it's a major engine of the political theater that we're
forced to endure now. And it's it's uh, it's gets results. Uh,
it does what it's intended to do. It gets votes. For one
thing, It gets people politically energized behind candidates, behind issues, even if
the way that they are portraying their views and what their issues are is this
weird distortion of what the effect actually ends up being. So you keep on
focusing on the exoteric thing. You know, Boeing's most important contribution to the
world is the seven forty seven and that's all. And you know that the
seven forty seven is falling apart now. So Boeing sucks, right, not
saying you're wrong about this, but if you come up with some political campaign
where you believe that if we, I don't know, get some sort of
law past that force is all Boeing seven forty seven to be grounded and not
even produced again in the name of safety. Right, we got to save
the children. Let's say we're saving the children doing this right. I don't
know. Maybe to get this done, it would be a good idea if
we just said, all of the all of the board members of Boeing and
everybody at the top of Boeing is all, you know, part of some
pedophile ring or something. Let's just say that. You know, it's not
doesn't have to be true at all, but we'll just say it because it'll
help us make sure that all seven forty sevens there's not one flies ever again,
and all will be right with the world. Might be, you might
be surprised when the law actually ends up passing and thank god, the seven
forty seven is gone forever. Boy, I feel safer already. The world
there's a better place now. It's a good thing we did that. I'm
just applying the logic of the culture Wars to everything. Now, any problem
I see in the world, I know how to take it on. Now
I'm going to I don't know, sell some merch that we say is made
in America, but it's actually made in China, but we just scratch out
the tag where it says made in China, we pretend like gets made in
America. That might be a good idea. So enough of that. I'm
getting annoyed by stupidity, and that's not gonna get much done because I don't
know, no matter how upset I get about it, it will persist.
So there's no need worrying about that sort of thing, not at the moment,
not until stupid gains so much power that you it's it's given too many
resources, and then it just feels entitled to do whatever it wants to do,
which is incredibly stupid things. I'm hoping to avoid all out catastrophe on
that end, but we're gonna need to. There's a lot of work ahead
of us on that front, that's for sure. The dumbing down of America.
We've all played a part in it. We've all seen the fruits.
We're seeing the fruits born all around us. The ripest fruits are none the
wiser that they're fruity themselves. If they if they knew so, they might
they might have to cancel themselves for being i don't know, not family friendly
or something You're going to scare the kids. It's gonna you're so fruity,
You're going to scare the kids. I'm gonna have I'm sorry, but I'm
gonna have to ship you to a democratically controlled state and city. I'm gonna
put you in a big bus. I'm gonna ship you off to San Francisco,
where you're gonna get killed by all the felons that are loose on the
street killing each other. You're gonna be killed now by them. Are you
happy? This is what we do again? I'm falling into the chap of
stupid and acting as though it actually matters when let's just assume that it doesn't.
Stupid is as stupid does. That finally makes sense to me now,
at long last, I have unlocked the meaning of that enigmatic phrase talk about
cultural phenomenon. We're really getting to the bomb of so many mysteries tonight,
and I feel very proud to be doing it, so proud of myself in
this show. With what we've done. We're really saving the world here.
And you got to have the right attitude about this. You got to know
when to pat yourself on the back. You got to champion your accomplishments.
That's something that I have not done enough in the past. So from this
point forward, I solemnly swear that I am going to celebrate my accomplishments and
not just pat myself on the back so much as I'm going to raise myself
up onto a soap box. No that's not enough either. We're going higher.
We're going all the way. We're gonna get on top of a building,
and we're going to megaphone the world, and by God, the world
can be a better place for it. You gotta celebrate your accomplishments. It's
been too little of that with the Age of Transitions, and I'm not gonna
have any more of it. I'm going to be very excited about the wonderful
gifts I have given me and the Age of Transitions as a platform. You
are welcome, world. There's more where this came from. So let me
go down through. Oh, now, this could be a funny article.
I might have to read this this. Yeah, we're gonna go with this.
This is from axios dot com. I do know that website. I'd
have seen that before. So axios dot com April fourth, twenty twenty four.
The headline Amazon's no checkout flop shows AI's limits. Let's read from this.
This is by Scott Rosenberg. Okay, Amazon's decision to shut down s
grocery stores flashy just walk out technology delivered a slap in the face to some
of the most extreme prognostications about a let me click this pop up. Okay,
Why it matters, AI is still not ready to operate on its own
and complex physical environments full of people, like grocery stores or roads. Driving
the news, Amazon is phasing out the just walkout system and its full size
Amazon Fresh grocery stores. That's the tech that lets shoppers bypass checkout lines by
tracking their purchases with cameras and sensors. Instead, shoppers will use a smart
cart that scans and registers each item as it's added. That makes sense,
Okay, The Information First reported the information that's some sort of news website or
something too is The Information Capitalized First reported the news Just walk Out will continue
to operate and Amazon Go convenience stores between the lines. The experiment and cashier
free stores offered convenience, but the data obsessed tech giant seems to have concluded
that wasn't improving at a fast enough rate to make it cost effective. Experts
suggest how it worked. Just walk Out, like many AI systems, relied
a lot on old school human labor. Amazon used workers in India to label
the data that trained its Object recognition AI. They also served as backup reviewers
for problem transactions. The AI industry relies heavily on cheap labor, often in
developing countries, for data labeling tasks. AI experts regularly argue that most of
today's systems won't work accurately and safely without a human being in the loop.
Human reviewers rate AI responses, and those ratings are fed back to the system
so it can improve. This technique requires a lot of humans at the start.
The system is supposed to keep improving until it no longer needs human feedback.
What we're watching AI may not be ready to make supermarket checkouts obsolete,
but there's a silver lining. If it's not capable of tabulating a grocery bill
on its own, it's also not able to destroy humanity. Good point.
Okay, this is interesting because I didn't know exactly how the what do they
call it just walk out tech? Worked? It is pretty fascinating to see
what they're replacing it with. What this article is saying that they're replacing the
old tech with is a smart cart, right where you everything you have,
everything in the store will have some sort of like you know, like an
RFID chip. Remember that, remember that being all of the rage in our
community about ten years ago or so, or even twenty years people are talking
about RFID or give being planned and everybody. It's just a chip that tracks
things as long as you have some sort of like tracking thing that allows each
product, if it has that on there, you put it in a cart
and it can read it when it goes in there, then the system makes
sense, right, Like it's okay, every time the thing goes in there,
it's just boot. The sensor is sense and it's almost like it's hardly
any different than going to the checkout and you know, you scan the bar
code and then that's what you know, gives you the product idea. So
it's another form of that, but it's done within the cart and like some
sort of sensor in the product. I'm surprised this system isn't in use actually
throughout all of industry. I can see how it would apply to every industry,
and I think something equivalent to it will at some point to enable further
automation of everything. You could do so much if you had these ID chip
technology in products, could automate so much. That hasn't happened yet. I've
always imagined that being like this first step in automation is just everything has a
dam chip in it, and and and it's and that's how you get these
autonomous systems actually working. But anyway, smart card is a new thing.
The old system of the just walkout was somehow they the cameras were watching you
in the store, and then the AI they had an AI object recognition thing
going on where you put it in the cart, and by the time before
it goes into cart, the camera identified what it is you're holding, and
and as you put it down in there, it adds it to your list
and then you're built for it based on that. So it depends on AI
object recognition software working properly, which is is as this article is pointing out,
that's not easy to do, and also points out that the object recognition
thing it's done, how those AI systems are made to work is all on
training the system, and that requires massive amounts of human labor to train the
damn systems, So it's just ridiculously labor intensive to even begin to get them
to work. When they do, they're not always accurate because you know,
I just think of a million ways of like, Okay, so if you
are, you know, a savvy customer that wants to scam this place and
you know how the system works, it's like, okay, we got a
camera on us. It needs to be able to recognize this box of cereal
as I pull it out. So what's a tricky little thing I can do
to make this system not recognize what the hell I'm doing. Maybe I get
like some sort of like you know, I carry a bag or something,
or I have something big in my hand that when I grab the cereal box,
it obscures the cereal box. Like maybe I tilt the cereal box in
such a way so it's like my hand with that big Say you're wearing just
like one of those big foam gloves like you get at the baseball game.
It's like it says number one, but it's really big, like a big
foam hand, and you put that over our top of each paruct. You
can like flip it down real fast so that by the time you pull it
off the shelf and a camera is supposed to see it as this giant glove
obscuring it, and you just kind of put it in the cart, like
maybe the side of the cart, and maybe you got something in the cart
so that like it obscures the image of it too. Like if you're clever
and doing it that way, I bet the damn thing would not know what
the hell you had in there, and you would be able to successfully scam
it. You would have found the exploit in the system. And so yeah,
it's kind of stupid to have this super high tech thing that's easy to
cheat, right, Not that there's not a way of cheating this smart cart.
You just find where the hell of the sensor is and you pull it
off or whoever, if indeed that is exactly how it works, I'm just
assuming that it is. I don't know everything about it, but there's an
exploit for every system. But uh, you know, never mind that technology
will save us, Uh, it's it's making the world better. You can
trust numbers because numbers are holy. They are never wrong if you are looking
at calculations based on numbers, and the calculations are all as long as the
math is right. There's nothing to question. The numbers don't lie, right
have you heard that one before? Well, maybe they don't. But what
the hell numbers are we looking at? What what calculations are we doing?
Like? What what is the data that we're focusing on? What data aren't
we focusing on? What is the purpose of these numbers? What numbers?
What you know? We're tracking, We're tracing everything. Everything we do is
surveilled, every you know at work. This is certainly true in our personal
lives. This is true when we're shopping at the Amazon Fresh store. This
is definitely true. Tracked, traced, monitored. To what end is it
all being done? To what end are we being tracked? Monitored, traced,
recorded? Every single thing we do is put into the system and the
numbers are crunched and it pops back. What to us a lot of times,
most of the time, is to see how efficiently either ourselves or the
system it's that we are part of, is working. How efficiently is all
this thing working? And in terms also of a business, a grocery store,
it's got to make money, so it crunches the numbers and it does
all its separate calculations and it runs its different spreadsheets to see what are the
numbers here? What are the numbers here? And then we compare them together
and what, uh, what's our grocery sets, what's our expensive blah blah
blah like all to the end goal of what what's the profit of Amazon Fresh?
Is it making a profit? Is it not? And I mean again,
if if a business is making a profit or not, fine, I
mean we don't. I guess you can't argue whether or not the numbers came
in in the positive or the negative to get there. But again, it's
not about the uh destination, it's about the journey. What the hell were
we doing to get to endpoint in? Was it the same old story like
we saw with Boeing of the ridiculous financialization and the stock buy back buy backs,
all this weird like toying around with the numbers that that's all money is
too? Is just another stupid number that we've put up on a alter and
to venerate thinking that it's more than it actually is. Is it another case
of the same old thing where we are believing that these things which are completely
nebulous, made out of thin air, it's just data that has been entered
into a digital system, that's where it derived from, that's its source.
It's not even a tangible thing. It's all these intangible, weird things that
we make out of nothing, out of thin air. Then we believe that
it's a hard objective fact, and we live our lives based on it,
and we we objectively spend our time throughout the day doing whatever it is we
do in a day, and it's all based on this stuff. We're all
playing the numbers game. We're all a part of it. We're all adding
numbers in to be calculated by these systems. It's all gonna it's gonna shoot
back this data that supposedly means something important, and I guess I can't argue
that it's not important, because again we look at it and we base our
collective actions, and then we decide what to do based on this feedback that
the machine gives us on ourselves and on itself simultaneously. It's all the same
thing. We're all part of it. It is us, we are it.
This is the wonderful modern world we live in that if frankly, if
somebody isn't at least you know, questioning this at this just basic level,
your brain dead. If you go through life and you never have thoughts like
this, at least be like, what the hell are we even doing?
You're not alive. I know that everybody thinks this. I'm not the only
one that's some special person making a podcast about stuff that nobody's thoughts, nobody's
ever entertained before doing quite the opposite, I'm entertaining the same thoughts that everybody
has, seemingly to my mind on a daily basis. I know, to
me, when I'm talking personally, I have them all the time. I
don't know if it's obsessive to do that. I don't know if it's abnormal
to do that. I don't know if it's normal to do that, but
I want to believe it's normal. I think it's normal because when you have
conversations with people and you bring up this sort of thing, they just go
like, oh, yeah, of course, just seems to be common knowledge,
right, because of course everybody thinks this, because that's the nature of
our world, and it's complex, yes, unnecessarily complex. It's making complex
out of something that at its most basic essence is not very complex at all.
We're just making up a bunch of stuff and believing it that's the simple
yet most important understanding of this whole thing. It's like, yeah, we're
just kind of making everything up as we go along. But it helps to
believe it, because otherwise, what's the motivation in the first place, and
what makes us wake up and just do what it is that we do.
You have to have some kind of belief there, and believed in all sorts
of things is crumbling quite a bit, at least seemingly so in our day,
and it's causing all sorts of problems. Everybody's freaking out about it.
Everybody's all worried, concerned. It's the end of the world as we know
it. We don't know what we're going to do. We don't know if
the system can continue. We don't know if the system should continue. A
lot of people think they have ideas for a replacement system to this one.
I shuddered to think what would happen if that replacement were put into place more
often than that would be even worse than what we're already doing, which says
a lot, because we're definitely not doing everything right. Again, just common
knowledge, we know this to be true from personal experience. We feel this,
we into it, but we can also, so when we sit down
we think about it, we can make up some numbers of our own if
we really want do we want to play that game? Do we want to
sit down and make a spreadsheet about how everything is wrong and presented to I
don't know who we're going to present it to, and nobody's gonna care.
I post it online. I suppose that's what. So man, that's what
I'm doing right now. We good? Ah? Are Is it going to
make money to do that? Probably not? Therefore does it matter? The
answer is no, that's the answer that is given within the framework of what
matters. Right. So, with that reality confronted, that begs the question
what does one do in the situation? And I'm not going to answer the
question for anybody. I'll say that we all have to we certainly, we
have to figure out a way to live within this mess and just deal with
this situation we're given because it's such a massive scale thing that you're not going
to change it. So you have to deal with it one way or another.
And that's what we're all doing. That's what this day to day thing
is. Yes, we're being surveilled constantly in the process of doing it.
But you have to. Unfortunately, you have to accept that. I'm not
saying it's a good thing, but it's a fact to life. I mean,
that's how things are. You have to make peace with it, that's
how it is. But then you have to find ways in which you can
find You have to find other things that matter, and you have to pursue
them to the best of your ability. And I don't know, you need
to know your limits. Like again, we're not none of us are going
to change this entire situation. But that's okay. So yeah, the acceptance
of that is like, well, you know, I'm not going to change
this whole thing. That's okay. I'm going to live within it. I'm
going to make my way for what it's worth. And I'm also in addition
to just doing that, which is all I'm asked to do, which is
pretty sad, it's just you know, be a part of this thing.
Make your numbers, and you will be allowed to continue to exist without being
given a problems by the said authorities. You can carry on if you meet
your quota of whatever. Make your quota. It's fine. It's not that
hard to do. It's like school was. School was easy. School was
a joke. Did we learn anything? I mean a couple of things here
and there. Did we waste a lot of time at busy work? Mostly?
Was it boring? Usually was it hard to do? No, just
treat it like that. Just do your damn schoolwork, turn it in,
and then in your free time have fun and do cool stuff. And then
maybe in addition to just having fun with friends and doing cool things and like
living actual life, maybe you can find like actual important things that better the
world. If they don't fully change the system, when they probably won't,
maybe it can change something to a degree where things aren't as horrible as they
would be otherwise. I don't know if that's setting the bar high or setting
it low. Let's call it being pragmatic. I think earlier this year I
said that I was going to make a make an effort to be more pragmatic,
and that we're being pragmatic and that's how we're got things done. So
that's that's what we're doing. It's not setting the bar low, it's not
setting the bar high. It's being pragmatic and it's getting things done. And
I know this is possible, and you got to, you know, take
your wins where you can. So there you go. This is this is
downright positive and this feel good. So it is a feel good podcast.
I'm not sure what genre of podcasts are or call this, but definitely feels
good to do it. It's uplifting, it's motivational. Maybe motivational. You
call this a motivational self improvement self improvement to podcast called all sorts of stuff.
So somebody come up with some labels and email them my way. I
need to know how to index my website better than I do. I need
some more. I need to get better at categorization because it's not a strong
point, never has been been. I've had difficulty categorizing anything that I do
again on my own for my own purposes. If I try to label it
throw it in a category, I usually just go, I don't know what
the hell this is, but I did it. And even when you ask
me why I did it, I usually struggle with an answer to that too,
I say, why do you do this? I don't know how long
did it take you to do this? I don't remember. I just remember
I decided to do it. It was probably a while. I don't know
why. I can't remember what the exact they kind of remember why I did
it, but exactly I don't know. Why don't you ask the computer that's
been surveilling me my entire life, why you ask chat GPT that's got access
to my permanent record, and why you ask it what I've been doing my
whole life. It'll have a lot of good answers for you. I don't.
It'll be able to tell you all about me. It'll probably be real
accurate too, And if we're lucky, it hasn't. It's not running off
of training that has been done overseas by labor that costs forty cents an hour
to do. Maybe that's the best case scenario. But you know, you
gotta don't aim too high. You gotta be realistic here. Let's uh,
let's be real. Let's be pragmatic again and then realize what world we're actually
living in. Nothing wrong with that, nothing wrong with the truth. I
do enjoy it, even when it's horrendous. It's a good thing. So
there you go. We've got the truth. Those other guys they talk all
about the truth, they don't know. They want no truth if it's slapped
them upside the head. Quite frankly, I'm sick of people paying lip service
to the truth, and I would like to slap more than a couple of
faces that believe they have it. But that's not what life's about. That's
not what we do. I do not condone violence in any shape or form,
even if it is a simple slap. That's not the right thing to
do. We can just kind of lament things and kind of again just somehow
make peace with it and be're like, well, there's a lot of stupid
people doing idiotic things and they think that it's good. If that makes their
life somehow better, then I guess who am I to stop it? It's
freedom. It's freedom to allow people to do what they want to do.
The same people screaming for freedom would want to stop so many if it were
flipped around the script. But whatever, I digress. That doesn't matter right
now. We don't have to worry about We don't have to worry about that
at present. Maybe somewhere in the near future, but let's worry about that
when we get to it. In the present moment. I will say thank

My name is Erin, my nephew law here the Star Show. Uncle.
Oh, dere's three nine we on tonight. That's right, three hundred tig.
I don't believe I didn't hear him. We have a guest, someone
we don't. I don't believe that I didn't hear him. So what do
we having to talk about tonight? Well, first of all, you're right,
Uncle, we don't have a guest. I thought we would, but
that's okay because I knew you didn't have him last hour? Yeah, yeah,
talking to yourself. Yea, I was. But we're live. We
were off last week. We're back. So anybody listening live tonight, thank
you. If you're listening to podcast, that's cool too. We're live on
our Chilli dot com Friday night. We're here. So yeah, Bob Bomb
the Bomb, I know what I'm talking about. Bomb the Bomb be a
drinker is still drink and doing he said, was on my podcast talking about
the drink. I heard him on his podcast saying that. So you've been
keeping up on by mind Bob Bumming with Bobcat his podcast. We've had him
on a lot lately. So you're listening to the show. That's good that
you're keeping up with his show. Everybody should be doing that, the drinking
part of the new ones. But he's not yet got the new one out
yet. You see what I mean. The new show's not out about some
drink's new drink, new drink out, No new drink out. It's the
same one regularly. I was going to have a glass of it, come
up with oh the one that with the mad Dog twenty twenty spikes that we
reviewed on the show in the bridge, Yeah it's down there still, Yeah
it is. I was going to have a little drink over in the old
wine cellar. Well, we'll break that out when we need to. I'm
not sure when that's going to be, but I don't think it's gonna be
tonight. But yeah, uncle, I do know there was Oh yeah,
that was the potential guest. I know what my problem is with the guests,
uncle, and I usually don't do this. I actually sent a tweet
out saying who the guests was, and I go listen to the show.
We'll have someone on. Usually I make it a point, even when I
know there's going to be a guess not to say even we have a guest
or who it is, I just say, listen to the show and then
I hope the guest shows up. They'll say it that way. It's easier
that way than say I know who it is. In my opinion is I
like like being It's like being surprised for yourself and me. So we get
on the shows, I wonder who is going to be And it's nobody's fault.
I'm not mad at the guests who would have come on at all.
First of all, I'm not mad at myself for not saying it upright or
what. Just this stuff happens. I mean, just just a big deal
for now one. That's the idea for now one. You get a guess
if it comes on, don't let us know who it is. Just let
it go through. I mean that way. Yeah, you know, when
I do the social media promotional material, I would be like, listen to
uncle this podcasts Tonight Live, will we have a guest, find out you
better listen. That's that's the approach will take. You could say that that
better than given out the person who Yeah it would be. Yeah, it's
it's just better to everybody. So that's I think that's the way we're going
to go forward. But Uncle, I do have a bit of important news
that's permanent to the show that I think you i'd like to get your commentary
on. We want to hear this. Okay, let me let me lay
this out to you. This is going to take some backstory. Listeners,
I'm sure are aware that we've done our dollar store beer reviews in the past.
Now, I've never really mentioned the actual dollar store that we got our
beers from, but I will now the store that we used to buy our
beers from was the ninety nine cent only store. You know that store off
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. They dried out a system. They drive
the system out. Yeah, they don't have that. They won't. They
haven't had anything good for a long time. I mean they have, don't
be you well, now, don't we supposed to do it? Come in
with them if they don't give you the punt, the posit project, the
punt, what is it calling. Well, that was bad enough, uncle,
that they did. Weren't getting any good beers anymore. That was the
least. That's the least of our worries now, because it's gotten even worse
when it comes to the nine nine cents store nine night cent Only, And
let me tell you what that is that recently, this just came out that
nine night cent Only is going to cease its business operations and close down all
of their stores. Not just some say that shuts it down? What did
I tell you? What did I tell you? Eliminated the ninety nine cent
store? So when people will not go to them, gon't be said for
you. Joseph though, because he always goes. He likes it there,
right, he goes, goes to him for getting people go there. Yeah,
I mean, I know, you know what's strange. Like a year
ago, Uncle said, because they don't have beers anymore, that store is
gonna be gone. Uncle said that like a year ago, like he literally
put it together. He said, you know they don't have the beers,
there's gonna be no store. And I said, oh, come on,
it's a ninety nine cents story, you know. I mean, it's got
other things. It doesn't just sell beer. You would think, well,
so they don't want to sell beer anymore. Like in New Jersey, no
ninety nine cent store could sell beer. They're not allowed, right, they
can't sell that. Yeah, you know laws, yeah, Louis state laws
in New York. It gets even weirder, which is why, Like in
New York State, there was a store once that opened it sell p up
just to sell beer, no kidding, because the liquor stores couldn't sell beer
and the convenience stores couldn't sell beer, so nobody could get beer, you
know, anywhere near half of these colleges and stuff. So they were like,
well, how are we going to fix this? And they literally created
a store called the Inconvenience Store and that's all they have is beer, that's
it because they had to get a specific license. So they went around.
But in California, you can sell beer at these kind of stores. So
Uncle was right when he predicted. He said, you know, since they're
not gonna have beer, there's gonna be no store. I thought, Uncle's
just mad because they don't have a beers meant what I said, I know,
you got it. You know what I'm telling you, you're doing.
You listen to me and you'll get some accomplished. Exactly, I got I
got it. That's why I'm pointing it out. I listen. I always
like to say, I'm not one of these guys. If somebody's right the
right, you know, what I mean. So I say, look,
you know this guy had a right. I just want to let everybody know
Uncle said there wouldn't be any more store because of the beers. All right,
Yeah, the prophecy has come true. Uncle, Yeah, they're done.
Ninety nine cents star is So now what we're going to have to do?
Same thing? We're not going to nine nine cent stores? What are
we going? Where are we going to find them? The only place that
I can see it's gonna because you a couple of dollars grocery store. Yeah,
I think. I think what we'll shoot for is just whenever like a
sale pops up, it's like crazy, we happen to find anywhere. Really,
we'll just buy a deal goes on on Fridays. Now, this is
what I'm on groceries. We've been going grocery shop on Fridays. You can
get you can get what are you doing? You can get. You can
get a sale at a grocery store at the close store. But you have
to make sure it's beer. So on Fridays they have beer sales. They
may or may not. But that's the thing. That's the catch. You
don't know, but you have to find out but they do have them.
They're five sents sale. It's a five cents sale. Two, that's all
we get. I want more than that. No, five dollars, I
heard that's what the five dollars Friday. Okay, but but see if they
have the beer of the five dollars, they might you have. That's what
you have to find out. I've heard of five dollars Friday. It's it's
some stars today. She was going to go, but then said, Melissa
is not with us, so she didn't know what to do today's Friday.
Yes, so you didn't do the usual Friday grocery shopping. That's where they
have to deal as the deals, and they might roll beer into it if
they do. That's how we could get cheap bears. Yeah, that's when
it was fine. Other than that, I don't know else. Yeah,
and we can't do nice night and I used to always and the special beers
that we get from the drinker, Oh yeah, that is separate. Yeah,
I mean he's buying a special case, special case, special cage in
a special place. We got a street cream to go find it in Texas
or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, we'll keep having Bob back on of course,
and keep saying that. So he'll come on with special drinks and we'll
enjoy those and it's gonna be a good time. So we will do that,
and can twenty do that? I was ready for some of the wine,
Yeah you want that tonight? I wanted. I forgot it. I
don't know. I don't feel like I have it in me to drink that
drink that's just wine. Yeah, yeah, that's the problem. You know,
me and wine don't agree too much too often. So I mean,
I go for wine over beat you any you're not throwing over the table,
you do okay? Wine? Wine, okay, over the over the That
makes one of us. Yeah. But yeah, So that was an important
piece of news that my wife pointed out to me. Actually, so I
did want to Yeah, yeah, she did. She let me know,
and it's important to the show. So yeah, I figured we had to
bring it up. The dollar store beer. You not only have we not
been able to find it for so long now it's not even gonna be possible
to do it anymore. So that's part of the archives in the past.
If I think I think they had the idea that they said, well,
I'm going to lose the audience and they knew it was money. Is that
what happened to the store by the close down? Closing down? That's why
I have a feeling that's what it was, because heck, if you don't
have the drink for the Friday night, people just shut down the whole operation,
what's the point of having a store? Have it down? So boom
it happened. Okay, see things just happened like that. They sure do
they sure pop down and line damn pop Mike Joe's getting popular? Was it
going to stay openess then shut down? We're moving up and I can tell
yeah, oh yeah, that even going. We're moving up in those podcast
ranking something. We're doing a fine job. This is exciting. I'm glad
to see the show grow to something. Is one doing no in a liquor
store now? Were going for a lot of tickets. I was just wondering
if they have They'm sure they have beers in it, but I don't.
Oh yeah, yeah to carry out. Yes, yes, you can buy
a lottery ticket. You can buy Maybe we can make that a segment too.
It's like we buy a lottery ticket, we buy a drinker. I
don't know, something like that. I don't know something like that. Something
in the future. That'd be something to think about. Yeah, to do
that. The power ball is all the that's a big story again because the
jack pot's gone so high, continues not to nobody's won for so long,
and it's growing, and it's got the ticket tonight. Oh here we go,
I thinks again, excited nobody else went out the stool and got a
ticket. Un As you guys stop, I think we w out to the
deserts today and I do believe we did pick up one. So we have
one. Yes, we have one and two hundred million chants of winning just
like everybody else or whatever the odds are. Just feel good about that.
So yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a desert day for us. That
was nice. Exciting Uncle, I'm excited by so many things. The podcast
clearly growing, it's gaining traction. We got a lot of influence. We
brought down entire store. How many people do we get an audience talking?
Oh no, that that is the fact that we single handy took down the
ninety nine cent only store is easy to understand. But the actual numbers that
we have in terms of listeners has a bit more nebulous. Uncle's got to
be high. Well, it's got to be high if we're able to do
this, that's as I know that much. But the exact numbers not so
good about this is interesting because I was talking about numbers in government our believe
it or not, now we're kind of it just kind of came up again.
I believe I'd like to know if I'm gaining or distracting on my end
of my shows. I mean, I'm findings. I'm assue like I'd be
gaining more than losing. I do believe, yes, the general trend is
upwards. We've been doing pretty good. If we keep up the good work
of continuing to get guests, and if we put our best foot forward in
terms of social media and making videos blah blah blah blah blah. If we
put enough effort into that, the show I do believe would grow. So
we got to continue attempting that. What we need to do is I try
to go shopping, but I think they can't get stepped. And I can
cook, like I've been asked in a month here to make meat loaf,
but nobody wants to go it the meat video for me. I need the
meat to do the meat loaf too, but nobody thinks I can kick it.
Well, I mean not at the bottom line, Yes, well that
would be a great video. That that's that's something that that's what I can
do it because I cook one before. Nana wouldn't believe me. Well,
it's a perfect example of whether you make it or not, the video would
be great. It would be a great video to do. There are a
couple of silly obstacles we have before us in getting it done. The main
one is just time. If if I'm able to achieve all of my life
goals, we will be able to have more time on our hands. I
don't know when that would happen, but that's the main goal again for life
is to make more free time so that we can make Uncle makes the meat
little videos. And I think we can do it. I know those people
in the crack room would love to hear my dang food. Yes, who's
listening to clackworm? Uh? The crack room. There is not much action
in any of the crack room bouncing. The o'chelly crack room is pretty slow.
I think Ed is in there, but that's it. Ed and Chuck
are saying a couple things. Oh, I see Creative Accents just showed up
late but here Hello, hello, Oh great, okay, so that man
he fixed that Johnny on the spot there, look at him go. I
was pretty good. So thank you Creative Accents for being there. There's no
chat on YouTube x or Twitch or the other two which are Trovo and Kick
we have. I don't usually mention them by name, but those are other
live streaming platforms. Do follow us at those if you have accounts that those
follow us our livestream videos there. It was a bit of a slow week,
uncle, but that tends to happen when we're gone the previous week.
It's nothing, That's what I mean. What we need to do, what
we have to constantly do to pick up is have it every week. Yes,
I mean if we have it every week, boom, you're gonna see
it go. Look. Yes, yes that's the problem. But I know
we have problems with to stop. You're not going along. You don't do
it today? Oh are you able to do it today? Well? Showing
up the boys, she is telling you what to do. Not with last
week. I just wasn't. I wasn't around, I wasn't here to do
it. So I mean I couldn't do it last week. Usually, I
mean, if we're around, usually nobody says. We have pretty free reign
to do the show on a Friday night. That's not a problem. But
sometimes things pop up and then that's when we have problems. But we'll see,
we'll see. We're fine. We're doing a show, we have a
broadcast, we have what number are we on again? I had it pulled
up. Well, which was it? It was three we've done. That's
kind of high. That's a lot of podcast episodes. Well, yeah,
I can go to it's pretty good. I go up. They we are
there. That's kind of crazy to think about. Uncle, we've done a
lot of these and we're not done yet. So it went to the next
revolution. That's gonna be yeah, four hundred. I guess always coming up
on the next revolution, it's it's uh because that's the gold one. Yeah,
it's gonna be a big one this year. So make sure. I
hope we get more audience people though, I like more talk because yeah,
they're doing now. It's tough to know what to do in today's podcasting world.
Honestly, it's tough to know how to get traction. I think,
honestly, just the act of doing this, making a show regularly. I
think it's enough and putting in extra effort where you can is good. And
we will We'll keep doing. We'll keep that approach going. I think we'll
be just fine, not too worrying. And there was one guess that you
said that it came back, Yeah, party people am and who those guys?
Yeah. I talked to Rod on social media and I said, like,
if you want to come on, that's cool. But I know that
they really prefer doing the live because they do their live show with it.
They have a whole studio, They got a good setup, and we just
don't have that set up here, and I would like to maybe we'll get
up a better Maybe we'll get a good setup going where that brings up a
whole other issue. If we get a live broadcasting studio where we invite people
to come here on Fridays and be here and they sit across the table from
us, we do a show that way, which would be great. We
have to be able to convince people to come out here is the one thing
we need to be able to. I think if we were in LA it
would be easier. What we need to do is you know people that are
on podcast people turn the locals out here. Yeah, I can mention a
couple of names. But well, you know why, I have had an
idea in my mind of integrating locals, like cause we live in Riverside.
There's some Riverside things that when I'm just driving around, pique my interest.
And I think even if we went into like these various businesses and just did
interviews on the spot with a proprietor, I think it could be a really
cool piece of audio or video. There's one business in particular that I've been
wanting to go in for a long time. I kind of want the first
time I go in there, I want to like ask them I can't hey
man, could we we have this podcast? Can we make a video interview
with you real quick? Or like? Is that cool? Like? And
it's just based on the name of the business. I'd like to do it.
That's the only reason I like it. Well, maybe that that could
be good started. Let'sn't have something like that to start it, Yeah,
I mean, and then that will probably bring even on natives to come home,
a good way to get involved in our community. That's what I'm That's
what I'm talking about That's what I'm niming for. And then what you just
said, we might have to do that. We might have to make a
point to one of these weekends I go out there, I go that stort,
like, hey, can we do this? Is that cool? And
if the answer is no, it's like that's fine. I'll try another one
like that and just do that just to get more people that can talk.
And it's only for the people that can talk on phone at the ham locally,
Yes, we could get that. We could get guests, local guests.
We could have them actually be the guest that call into the show and
they could be our guest friend the night too. We could go about it
that way as well. That way, so I want to open up the
lines again. I think that that's what I was thinking. I like that
idea as a format for a show. So it just comes down to going
out and inviting people onto the show when we're out and about maybe we might
have to start doing that. Do it that way, let them get used
to We can listen to this guy talk boom and we go and have some
conversations. We definitely take some getting used to it. Well, that's true,
Well that will come in time, but still but still I can get
it going with the talking. Yes, you know I could do it.
No, I know, I know about shiekick, what kind of his on
side of it, But that's the same my side. Yes, yes,
yeah, government now with me, the government. These are all things that
I've had in my mind. We just have to we just have to go
about doing it. So it's yeah, So there we go. There's an
idea, the news of the nine nine sense store. What else? I
didn't have a whole lot? What else is new ocle? What? What
does our audience need to know? What important stuff is going on out there?
It is? You know we uh, we have the gummy boys here.
We know what the gummy boys are. The gummy boys, I call
it the gummy boys, not the gummy bears. I mean the gummy beist
the gummy bears. You know what we're talking about. We're talking about gummy
beasts. We're talking about the like the ones with the cannabis infused ones.
Is that what we're talking about? Well, I told WebM mississide Kick that
when when I get some cash, I was going to go in the store
there and this was new area over here. But I don't know where it
is located. Okay, but she does. Okay, Okay, so you
and you want to get some gummy boys in there. Yeah, I'm a
little low on one bed, but we can get some of those. Yeah,
I need to get a few. I mean yeah, yeah, maybe
an employee from one of those stories would be fun to talk to you.
I own that too. And that's another thing because you know how those guys
tour there, and that kind of guys would bind go on to broadcast.
Yeah, those guys, that's something to think about. They're definitely they're typically
characters when when working in there, so you would assume that they'd be sort
of receptive to coming on a podcast. That's the first way to get started.
Yeah, that's one way to do it. Well, the figure things
out, and this is how we operated. They got the go from the
Funny Funny Boys. I know what it is, but Michael it the Funny
Boys. And then we have a conversation. We're glad to see where like
to be, you know, and at that tool, well, Uncle Creative
Accidents has a lot to say in the chat room. Let's go. He's
got some questions for you, So let's go to him. And he says,
is uncle still boycotting Big Gerald Sanders or you can eat shrimp and barbecue.
Yes, then he's not allowed. He's not allowed on the show.
Not Ben, not Ben. You can't ever come back. Never's your answer
this, you got the answer to that. Now other question, next question
from Creative Accidents, He says, Uncle Chris from the Path of Tea,
he said hello to you and sidecake. He said he'll he'll call once you
start taking calls again. There we go, Oh that's the guy that had
the tea. Yes, oh yeah, yeah, I've had a troubled good
tea. Bit. It's passing day. I've been drinking. Somebody's kicking.
Yeah, somebody's kicking the crackerroom crackling kicking. They I've been. I have
a couple of bags left of the white. I haven't started the the red
one yet. The tea still have yeah, full one and you know I'm
just doing it slow. Look all right, So you're into the T so
yeah, I'm into the T thing good but not coffee. Oh yeah,
I can't. I don't understand you. I take the cold baby, the
cold coffee today, cold bruise, my favorite bag clothes I had a cold
pooge today. That's the best coffee. I don't I seem to like the
cold so creative accents. The next question is how's five point zero underscore the
goat five point go. That's that's the car of our our YouTuber neighbor.
You know that that white car down the street. Oh him, Yeah,
lamb man down the street. You can you can hear him coming down the
street. Yeah, I mean just I think just the other day I saw
him talking through sister or someone something he was talking about about the driving thing.
I didn't know was this in a video he made or you saw him
in person saying talking say something as I was walking walking by it. I
just walked walking by it. I heard this and and just talking to her
and him and they were having a conversation. Yeah, I asked the guy
that with the with the mistake. I kind of follow him on Instagram,
but that doesn't mean a whole lot. I don't. Yeah, technically,
yeah, technically technically uncle the podcast Instagram account follows him. But don't you
do it just every now and then I kind of see a video. I
didn't see him. It's it's I can't I have trouble keeping up with all
that stuff. I feel like I don't have time to do all that.
What kind of stuff are they working on those? It's it's the you know,
it's like the TikTok style of content generations. You're just constantly making a
video, this, that the other thing. Like I can barely keep up
with this what's for dinner tonight? Let alone that stuff. It's see,
I think I know the system on neighbors situation. I'm starting to understand how
they operate. How's that just what you were doing talking about making the contact?
Making the contact, but then you can't make the contact because this so
wound up on their dish side. They can't have a conversation with you and
your contact kind of stuff. I think that's the problem with the nable one.
Now, Uh Creative accidents is saying five point zero the goat versus the
wu stang he wants to see. Yeah, that's Kooly's car. Oh yeah
about COOLi did he ever get my my my my sticker? I did just
talk to him on the phone. Yes, I meant to ask you that
he got a new tattoo. He's he tells me he's going to get that
too. Tattoo soon and he's going to get the ad D TV flag,
which is a video I made with the inverted flag colors. But he hasn't
got him yet. He's going to. He's doing well, He's doing pretty
well. But yeah, the Wustang versus five point zero the goat the Mustang
battle is a fine idea. So maybe that's another seed idea we have for
maybe the show can make happen. But oh yeah, another question from Creative
Accidents. He says, are you going to watch the eclipse in the desert.
The problem about that is we need the glasses. Oh you know what.
I was in the desert today and they're selling the glasses. They're selling
them. You should have gone a few or three convenience story. They're selling
the clips, but I wouldn't like they gotten them before him. Otherwise we
got them on Instagram. I'm Instagram. It's in uh what's the color place,
and it takes about three days to get them. The sad thing is
it's only gonna be a partial view. It's not gonna be the total solar
eclipse where we're at here. It will be something to see, it'd be
something That's what I'd like to see. I mean, I can't see a
plank eyepol. No, no, no, no, I mean you put
it on a plank eyepoll and you be that blind for the year. That's
true. I mean, but you don't want to deceive me. The way
the way I look at it is this way. Not look at the sun.
Just look out and said, noticing it's getting dark. Yeah, that's
how you know it's closing. It does do that. It does do that.
And then boy, this is nice. And you're not looking at it
sun, just looking at the way the Earth is working. This is the
way you gotta look at Diggs. Like these weather people, they don't know
anything out behind a window. Creative Accent says that Trump did not use eclipse
sunglasses. Oh famously. Remember back that that was right after he was elected.
I think maybe even twenty sixteen or seven. Back then, I think
his eyeballs was having a bum they were. He was that famous shot of
him squinting up the thing, the squirting going yeah, if he doesn't need
them, I donat him. That's my point of view. Who needs them?
I I yeah, I don't know. It's not gonna be a total
eclipse here where we're at certainly if we went out to Landers, it wouldn't
be total. But but depending on the on the clouding situation is supposed to
clear some. But no, it's like his hands been cleaning up. But
the moll supposed then me this weekend. Oh yeah, you're telling we've been
having a lot of rain. It's surprisingly cold here today. It's been very
cold. It's been I think this is the coldest it's been a winter.
Oddly enough, now here in April fifth it's colder and has been the entire
winter somehow. But whatever, I know, I can't explain things. He's
got to roll with it. This is what happens these days. And yeah,
so we're covering all the important news stories. Uncle, nine nine cents.
The are not there eclipse. You get the glasses, but you should
see half the people on the news. We got our glasses. I'm going
to see see it when it comes out. Yeah, exactly, Yeah,
I know. I am going to look at our numbers, our numbers on
We've been doing pretty good streaming on the Twitter x platform as well. How
many people on that more than more than either Twitch or YouTube. Oddly enough
YouTube, it doesn't look like anybody's watching at the moment. Somebody will go
back later probably watch it. But nobody's watching now on YouTube but on twitter.
X. Yes, we got a few people X which is Triple X.
I never understand what that means. What all that in here? That's
Triple X, the spy movie, my favorite spy movie, Triple X.
Not only is it a spy movie, it's also an extreme sports movie,
which is why I love it. Uncle never heard of it. I don't
even got on my phone. You know the star of the movie, Uncle
Vin Diesel. You gotta put that on my phone. Okay, where's your
phone? Let's get this ongain. You want watch the original Triple X movie
now, I don't know, you know, I need to get that on
you. It's a good one. It's a good movie. Yeah. I
eliminate one to get the other. Maybe what your phone versus your iPad?
Or is that talking about? No, the U one, the purple pillowed
one. I can take off to put to replace that. Hey, if
that's what gets you to watch Triple X, I'm all for it. Okay,
Yeah, well we just had to put it on it get rid of
that purple that's going Yeah. So yeah, so we've got movie recommendations.
This podcast does a lot for people. Uncle. We're really providing a lot
of services. Movie recommendations, yeah, Eclipse suggestions, Eclipse viewing suggestions,
important news about retailers like the nine nine cents store. I didn't even know
that we was going out of business tonight. I didn't even know anything about
then. Something people need to know. We're offering services where we're really bettering
the way. I had a figured though, if something was going to happen,
but I didn't think it was that fist. Yes, I mean,
we apologize. We might not have wanted the entire store to go down,
but hey, when Uncle says something, he means it goes, whoops the
daisy. These things happen. That That was the guests that we're gonna have.
You probably recognize him. Yes, yes, let's remind people that we
have our Instagram that you need to push the button and subscribe to that.
It's at Uncle Podcasts on Instagram as well as Twitter x at Uncle Podcasts.
Push the button there as well, and let us not forget that. On
YouTube, it's also at Uncle podcast and you need to push the button there
too because we have quite a few videos there the podcast right now is going
to be made into a video. It's being made into video as we speak.
It will live there in perpetuity unless we shut down the channel. Oh
and I see we have a special chatter over at YouTube right now. Sally
Dall says, high friends, Oh I've seen. Yeah, she's been there.
I think she was that last week, the week she was on two
weeks ago. Yeah, week she was on. So Sally Doll says,
push it real good. Yeah, she's not about the button. Don du
du dun dun. We should make a little promo for the button that says
push it real good, and we get people to subscribe to our YouTube and
others soon towards it may listen to that and induce them they may do that.
That's a good point. I know, are just saying things in that
mind help. That could be some great marketing for us. I think I
could really work out. I like the idea behind it. Really come up
with some good concepts in these this meeting we're having today. So there we
go. We had nobody on YouTube and now we got somebody. So this
is exciting. It's fun to see how you pick up viewers as you go.
And certainly if we do it. I've noticed with this video streaming platform,
Uncle, is that a lot? What these streamers tend to do is
that people do hours and hours on end of streaming. That seems to work
out good for the format. Like you do six hours, you do like
eight hours. You're streaming all time. Well, I see now what you're
talking about when you do the streaming on the TV shows. I'm going back
because you do a lot of that. Oh yeah, And just a little
while ago, I was on what do you call it? Finishing up the
show? Hello Johnson? Johnson? Johnson? The show is called Hello Johnson.
I wish it was I'm dad. Is it cool? Triple X?
Hello Johnson? I wont all that here. I've seen it before. It's
not like trouble. You know. Somebody hears that out of context thereon.
That's pretty dangerous string of stuff there, Hello Johnson, the TV show.
I wanted in here all this. This is really weird if you cut it
the wrong way. Okay, I'm just saying, oh, we're just watching
Hello Johnson. Yeah, he's all saying I want all that. You're not
making it any better on the ming show. You made a story out of
it, Okay, Okay, you know last Friday, I was on TV
uncle you will, Yeah, what were you doing? What was that shot?
I was on Blaze TV last last Friday. What is Blaze TV?
I can't remember it. Glenn Beck's network? I heard of that. Wait,
who you know Glenn Beck has his TV network? Oh, it's his
network. Who was the host, Pat Gray? Okay, I listened to
that podcast. I didn't realize it was now it makes now those now the
Christian conservative phone plan commercial makes sense to me. Yeah, okay, so
what happened and is Yeah, I recorded part of what was going on behind
the scenes, the audio for the last half hour. But the TV show
you can find it on YouTube. No, you did good on that shuck.
Like I loved the infal on the jfk assassination. That was great.
Well. I was on there for two hours though, but but I only
put a short clip out the audio. You know. I went over to
that guy's show specifically because I saw you all talking about on Twitter. I'm
like, I want to see this show. And I listened to the whole
thing on the podcast, so that I did enjoy that. Oh, okay,
there you go. So I was just letting uncle know that if he
has Blazed TV and one of his little TV things, he could have seen
me on TV last Friday, but I had to start at seven in the
morning, though it sucked. I do have Oh my god, do you
have on the TV show you did? I have it on my on the
screen. It's on the screen. Okay, I didn't know my show's on
it too. No on Blaze TV. No, Glenn, We're not on
Glenn Beck's network. I can tell you that. No. No, I
have not received my complimentary Christian conservative cell phone. Therefore, I know I'm
not on the right network. I want one of those things that was was
my phone right now isn't working right. I can't make my direct line called
to Jesus, and I don't like it. Well, your phone doesn't know
about freedom, Eric, That's what the problem is. That's the problem.
Did you hear that commercial where it was like, if you believe in freedom,
you need this cell phone. I'm like, Okay, that was Chuck.
I'm not kidding when I say that might be. That's certainly in recent
memory my favorite like commercial I've heard in a long time. If not like
it might top the list of all I'm my favorite humorous radio commercials. I
want to say, Okay, no, I just I thought it was really
hilarious that they'd like, you know, turned to me after that and I'm
like, uh, okay, you know, and then they just start firing
questions at me, which is really funny, which I which I was able
to put up with for two hours. Well, I gotta say I did
enjoy the show. I enjoyed that the topic and I don't know, that
was good, so I appreciate. I just I didn't know if uncle knew
that I had been on TV recently, because usually you don't see my face,
you know, I haven't known it. If it's not on the certain
ones I have, I don't know you on them. Okay, No,
probably I have to put myself. Somebody has to set me up with it.
Yeah, it's on YouTube now, so I mean you could find it
on YouTube now after it was live on TV. But you know, every
everything goes to YouTube. Guys. You know, would you say TV,
Chuck, is that like an actual? Is that like a what's TV mean?
In this? What is that network? Exert? It's on I don't
even know, you know, it's on some cable networks and satellite audition networks
and stuff like that. It's a it's a cable channel. Okay, okay,
all right, that's cool. I knew that when I heard it.
I'm like, these guys are actual broadcasters. Uh, they're they're you know,
they're that's their career and you know, it's it's a put together show
and the voices like so it's like I didn't know exactly what's going. I
didn't know it was Glenn Beck's network. I don't know any of it.
Maybe we can get them on us. Well, you know, if you
guys had gone to Dallas. Here's the funny part, right, is that
they're actually in Dallas, those guys. That's right, yeah you said,
I remember remember hearing that. Yes, yeah. So like the funny thing
is if I go to Dallas again this year and like other people coming to
meet with me or whatever, I'm trying to talk them into coming down,
like you know, to a live report for their morning news show from you
from the conference. Yeah, that's what I want them to do. Yeah,
you know, it wouldn't make sense and it wouldn't make them money too.
Well, that's what I'm thinking, is that they'll get a whole new
viewers like, hey, we're the only network that came down to you know,
see what we can do and can we get that down here? Yeah?
Why not? Well, I say, if somehow I got you guys
there, or we've got you know, some people that are representing Uncle there,
it would be great, Like we just have all Uncle t shirts on
their TV network, you know what I mean. Yeah. Still, I
was not able to go this year, as you know, Chuck, but
I still want to go sometime. I'm going to try to one of these
years. I want to go to it. I really do. So let's
let's let's pencil that in as something I definitely want to do. Let's go
to the Lancer. Okay, So I'm going to be the NC again this
year, you see. So I'm going this year in twenty four here November.
So I'm just letting you know that I'll be, you know, working
the conference again. Yeah. I don't know. I'm not saying I'm gonna
do that every year, but they invited me back to come do it again,
so you know that's cool. So I'll be there and I'm hoping to
have like you know, o Chlly dot com people come by again like we
did last time, it was great. Creative Accidents came down there in person.
Yes, that's right, Uncle, exciting time it was, Yeah,
one of these live in person things. That doesn't get much better. We
do. They actually have them meetings, Chuck, Well, you're talking about
Dallas. They always they haven't at a hotel, right, but you know,
but we don't just stay at the hotel like like, Creative Accidents I'm
pretty sure went with a bunch of my friends when I was too busy,
but a bunch of like bepeat my Coast and a bunch of guys. They
went to you know, an Italian restaurant that was run by one of the
gangsters that went and visited, uh, Jack Ruby in jail, right,
so they got a table there. Jack Ruby used to eat here, this
kind of thing, right, and so you know what I mean. And
Creative Accidents went to the sixth floor museum too, went to go check and
they all over the place. Then, yeah, no, we went all
over the place. But I mean I was stuck at the hotel, mostly
because I got to be announcing people in between and help them run the conference.
Right, So I'm stuck at the hotel, But everybody else can go
and travel around and do stuff, and plus when I'm done at night.
I mean, I loved it. When I got a chance to go out
to eat and this and that, it was great. Matter of fact,
there was twenty two of us around the table, and some of the guys
came all the way from England. Oh man, that'd be nice to get
those guys. Well, that's what I'm saying. And I only you know,
look, I handed out Uncle cards, and I handed out some Sidekicks
book, and I handed out you know, Uncle stickers, whatever I had,
I handed them out right. And I gave away Uncle T shirts like
that punk rock T shirt. Again the art combined art from Aaron and creative
accidents, believe it or not, and a little bit of an artistic contribution
from me. That shirt's like a three way piece. Put that out,
you know. And yeah, we gave away about five of those, probably,
like I don't know, hundred, a couple of hundred Uncle cards and
stickers in a pile were there. They're gone. A bunch of stuff that
was associated to the show. We had black black budget comics, that's right,
that's right. Yeah, all the copies of your book, Aaron,
that I had gone one of them creative accidents took over to a guy who
was doing a live presentation at the movie theater. You know what I'm saying,
it's an interesting time to network with people that would be interested. Do
listen to podcasts, you know what I mean? Yes, yes, yeah,
you know. Plus you can learn about the assassination too, because that's
the point of it. But I'm just saying. People had a good time
just spending time together, you know. And look, you don't want to
eat at the expensive hotel, you know restaurant. There was a burrito joint
and some people I saw bags of McDonald's show up, you know, stuff
like that too. You know what I mean, I won't be doing it.
I post the box to sen you will do not have fun. Well,
we gotta get going, man, we gotta get going because I have
some letters coming and I can't get him I know from you know who I
know. See. But that's the thing is, if you and uncle came
right, you could sit at the table with me in the in the you
know, little bookstore area where the authors all sit down to sign their books,
right, and we could sit at a table and just hang out,
look, and meet Aaron Franz from the Age of Transitions. Hey, you
know Uncle the podcast. Here's Uncle. You know what I'm saying, and
uh fun, I don't know. It's just an idea. Since you're talking
about getting out and doing things recently, and you want to do things a
low crowd, Uncle, If you want to make it big, you go
out. You find him to make it big. But that's what you have.
You want to do things locally, that's great, But you start getting
a roll going locally, you could spread out, go to Texas. You
never know, I mean that's my point, just not low and then go
further. Oh yeah two point stretch it out. Plus you never know,
you might find and and here's the crazy thing, right, crazy accidents show
up. He knows where all the dollar stores are in Texas, so he
does. Oh yeah, they'd be shut down. That's the problem. Now
they'll be all shut that's the problem facing this what I'm what I understand sad
day, sad day. It's true. De beat it down. Hey,
I'm just saying, lots of lots of adventures to be had, Uncle,
that's all I'm thinking. What do you think I've said what I've said about
the dollars stores and it happened. How can I where can I go?
For me? What else is he supposed to do? Yeah, we can't
ask too much of Uncle here. You mean taking down a corporate juggernaut like
the ninety nine cent only start is quite an accomplishment. I mean, how
are you supposed to top that? You know it would be great. There's
nothing they can top. They cannot top that, Believe me, I'll tell
you. I'll tell you the most unique video you could ever make with Uncle
ever. Okay, you're ready for this one. And I'm telling you what,
get thousands of views from people who never heard of you before. All
right, you're ready for the idea ic check this out. Go to Daley
Plaza with Uncle right now. There are these guys, Now some of them
are legit, and they get handed these newspapers. Right, they go and
they pick up newspapers. They made an agreement with the city finally, because
it used to be homeless guys went out there and did this. And still
there's some homeless guys that do it right. But there's these guys that run
right up on you. Anytime anybody shows up in Dally Plaza, they start
trying to hockey a story. They want to sell you a newspaper. They
want to give you a big, long explanation about how the assassination went right,
and they all want tips. Okay, so when they're done with their
tip, they sell you the thing for ten bucks, fifteen bucks, and
then you know, tip them a twenty two. They want some money because
they just entertained you for a half hour hour, right, got it?
Okay, Well, here's my video idea. You get Uncle to go out
there with the newspaper. I'll supply him with the newspaper. I will literally
buy them. I'll buy him the papers. And then I want him to
stand over there on the corner, not even in the plaza directly, because
you know, these guys might get territorial. But he can stand on the
corner, just outside of the plaza and just start telling people what he thinks
happened to Kennedy, Oh gosh, and off from the newspaper, John F.
Kennedy, John F. Kennedy. He can tell him what he thinks
happened to Kennedy. It happened right over here. He can say, look,
it happened right over here. That's it. And I won't even tell
him what to say nothing. He can give away the newspapers or sell them.
It's up to him. Whatever he wants to do. I'll get him
a stack of newspapers. You filmed it. I'm going into your business there,
I know, and I promise you this is video gold. What do
you think erin? Yeah, I mean if if the situation arise where Uncle
and I were at the conference, we would do that. Yeah, we'd
make time to make the silly video of Uncle doing that. Yeah, why
not you do this at night? And it would be spectacular because the most
the guys that got me like that did pin me down in twenty seventeen.
It was crazy. It was like I had no money on me and had
I had to give this guy money because he just wasn't gonna leave me alone
until we gave him some money. I had to ask Mike Swanson, please
give this guy a couple bucks. I don't have any cash on me,
just get him to get away. And I used part of that tape if
you remember in my Little Deally Pip remember that, Yeah that was a nice
piece. Yeah yeah, Well, imagine Uncle gets into a discussion with that
guy. Yeah, okay, And I'm telling you that guy it's there's more
entertaining guys for Uncle to talk to than that guy, even if he's not
there anymore, because by the time we get back, it'll be nine years
from the time we were there, right, or eight years whatever. But
I'm telling you, if we go back there and there's a couple of those
guys lingering around and some tourists, all all you got to do is get
lucky. Plus Uncle can see historical landmark his commentary on it. I'm telling
you you would have you know, and I put it on. If you
don't want to put it up, I'll put it on my channel Uncle and
Dealey Plaza as presented by the Ocelli Effect. I'm telling you it would be
promo gold for the radio network for years. Yeah. Yeah. If we
go the conference over top, that will over top even my levelation thing.
Yeah. And I'm telling you look, listen and if you if you do
cut it together and you decide, you know, I'm gonna edit out.
I'm gonna use only part of the big Give me the pieces of the video
you don't want to use even I'll make promos out of them and we'll have
Uncle go viral. I'm telling you, with this. Yeah, okay,
Yeah, I'm for it. It's just a matter of us appearing in daily
Plaza and on a November day one year. Yeah, that's the hard part.
The easy part is making the video. Once we're there, well,
you know, you stay, you stay just outside of that. You can
get a cheap room, right, you can hook up. You probably because
you're doing your you know, your your desert house. You probably have some
sort of you know, little extra discount snatched away somewhere right. Perhaps you
bring him. I'm not getting into your business. I'm just saying, explore
it. If you didn't think about it already, go look, but you
probably have that guaranteed if creative accidents in me are there. If we got
a way to get you guys, some dinners will feed you even if you're
just there for two days. You know what I'm saying, Like you stay
one overnight in a hotel, we figure out a way to get you lunch.
This kind of thing. I'll buy the newspapers. And I don't know
if I can chip in on lunch and buy newspapers, but if I can,
I'm sure that I could even get like say Mike or somebody else to
chip somebody else will chip in from the radio network to get lunch, coffee
something. We'll make sure it's easy on you, all right. All you'd
have to do is get there, the two of you. I'm telling you,
priceless video, useless video. If I tag this like it's a dead
serious it would be like comedy gold, so funny and and I'm just saying
it would be all organic. It totally appeals to your performance artist, a
soul in Aaron. Come, I know what could happen if I get into
something like this. This ain't won't, This won't be serious anymore. It's
a rabbit hole off. It would be exactly when a rabbit hole and a
comedy rabbit hole behind it. Fat That's what it'd be like. It's a
new kind that people aren't aware of yet. Yeah, that's what it may
them aware of that. It would be like that because I can make it
like that if he like he was saying, it could do that if we
do it one time like that, definitely in the realm of possibility. I
know, yeah, because I can do that kind of well. I can
tune in. That's the thing to have it to make it fun. I
know you can pull it right. I know you can pull it off.
A couple of other guys have done this right, have done like, you
know, some comedy stuff around this. They usually haven't really hit the mark
because they don't have somebody like uncle telling you I can hit and I get
hit him like that. That's it because I do it mine like this.
I mean, why not do that? Right? I mean they get at
the only thing that would wound you here erin is that you realize that JFK
people would probably not take Aaron Franz as seriously as they used to. That's
all. That's the only thing you'd lose. But you know there is one
thing that might help him out, don't you guys realized? Hit you guys,
John F. Kennedy, I've been in a Special Olympics do it or
and she did this? That will pick it up? It could it can?
It can tie it up to that what I'm talking about. There's another
beautiful thing. He could bring probably some some photographs, some prints of of
you know, of the Special Olympics that day. Yeah, and he could
sign them. Look, I was a swimmer in the first Special Olympics.
Sore you go. I carried a torch, right, and too interesting.
Stud history, yes, history, yeah, yeah, the way you're describing
it, Chuck, it sounds like Hollywood Boulevard, but the Dallas version of
Hollywood. The characters demanding money when you when you get near them in pictures
and all that. Right, But either at the either at the conference or
at Daley Plaza. Guaranteed you could sell some Uncle t shirts. You could
sell some Uncle pictures if you had him sign a couple of pictures. I
guarantee. Yeah. Well, yeah, definitely the desire for all of this
happened there. Definitely have the desire. Now, it's just a matter of
circumstance, circumstances. Past year, it was was not right. I couldn't
do it. But if circumstance is correct, I'm able to do it.
Absolutely. I want to, Okay, I definitely would like to. I
want to hear. I want to hear from the Franz and Uncle listeners.
Okay, seriously, I want you to do you don't even tell me,
Tell Aaron, Tell Aaron, tell Uncle online, on on the you know,
Instagram, whatever wherever it is you want to message him, tell them
if you think this would be a good idea, If you guys would like
to see this happen. Tell him that, and just just let him know,
let them know. If it's not Chuck's crazy to tell them to go
go go do something with himself. All right, good, good, go
ahead, whatever it is you want to say, say it, tell them,
let them know. Do you want to see Uncle in Deely Plaza?
Do you want to see Uncle? You know? And I'm telling you I
would try and drag Uncle out the TV, out in the in the in
the conference hall and by the book signings. I'd bring Uncle everywhere and all
Aaron would have to do is follow up and film is doing this? All
be great? I yeah, I like it. Well, I want to
take the time, just for a moment to recognize all the people in the
chat room. The YouTube chat room is filled up. Of course. It
