36
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.240
I'll get you at least a piece
of merch from the show you appreciate the

37
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:04.960
most if you show up in Dallas. So there you go, a little

38
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.759
little thing there. And I love
promoting you anyway, and want to get

39
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.319
more people reading your book anyway,
and I'm hoping that I'm going to hand

40
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:15.240
it to some JFK people. But
for Age of Transitions and Uncle listeners,

41
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.000
there you go. Show up and

43
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.800
the Age of Transitions or Uncle on
the piece of merch. Is that a

44
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:30.479
cool deal or no? I like
it all right? I like the deal.

45
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:35.560
Yeah. So yeah, please show
up in Dallas if you're able to

46
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:39.280
everybody be cool. I wish I
could. I just I simply can't.

47
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.479
I would. I would love to
be there, but it's just for me.

48
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:50.479
I won't be there. One day
I'll be able to do something other

49
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:57.639
than the incessant routine at some point
that that will happen at one point,

50
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.120
but it's going to be a little
wild, so I get back to that

51
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:04.680
point in time. But that's okay, because we are maintaining pretty well,

52
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:13.840
I think. I think the maintenance
that I'm performing at present is good.

53
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:24.959
And I see like the different stages
and points in my life is I like

54
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.800
to look back, I like to
look forward, but also especially being the

55
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.680
present, and I'm pleased with the
way that everything is going, has gone,

56
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:35.079
and is adding into the future.
And I've said this before, I

57
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:42.279
do think that the Age of Transitions
project is an investment, not necessarily and

58
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:51.480
most highly unlikely financial investment, but
an investment of time. Absolutely, I

59
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:55.360
put a lot of time in this, but I think it's going to bring

60
00:04:55.439 --> 00:05:00.759
returns again, not necessarily financial returns, but returns in that it will.

61
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.839
It's all. It's all been a
good use of time, I feel.

62
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:10.279
And we're moving forward into the future
and certainly some of the things I've pointed

63
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:15.879
out in the past are making a
little more sense to more people at present.

64
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:19.800
The book again revolve Man Scientific Rise
to Godhood. That book, what

65
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:28.120
it's about is about transhumanism. I
split the book into half. There's like,

66
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:30.560
the front half of the book is
essentially, Okay, here's a list

67
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:35.079
of all these technological projects. Here's
what transhumanism is. Right, you take

68
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:40.800
all these converging technologies. We've got
artificial intelligence coming up in the future soon,

69
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:47.040
right, it's going to actually be
workable and to change the world dramatically

70
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:51.639
soon, that's coming. And plus
we have these other things like nanotech,

71
00:05:51.759 --> 00:06:00.439
life extension research, cognitive enhancement technology, the brain implants and things like that,

72
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:06.319
robotics, genetic engineering, all this
stuff. The transhumanist vision is to

73
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:10.480
take all of that and march into
the future, make a bold, brave

74
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.600
new world out of it. So
the first half of the book is,

75
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.800
Okay, here's all the things that
happened happening in that realm. Here's where

76
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:23.959
the stakeholders are staking their claim thus
far and projecting out in the future.

77
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.439
Here's what they say is going to
happen. Here's what they are already doing

78
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:32.040
Bertha a few years back now,
twenty eleven. So that's the first half

79
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:36.000
of the book. The second half
of the book is a bit more esoteric.

80
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:44.480
It's about the sort of occult religious
aspect of the entire transhumanist idea,

81
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:55.240
the alchemical, the alchemical project that
is involved in realizing the transhumanist vision,

82
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:04.480
the great work, as it's called
in a cult circles specifically that applied to

83
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:10.480
technology. But I think anyway,
that's that's the second half of the book

84
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:24.120
is the esoteric occult religious thing.
Now, it's a It's an interesting area

85
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:29.600
to go into the occult, into
the esoteric, into the religious, because

86
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:34.560
it gets it gets difficult real quick, actually, and I've seen a lot

87
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:46.920
of people over the years in alternative
the communities go into those areas and as

88
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.600
far as I'm going to serned,
just crash and burn and just like fall

89
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:56.720
and trip over to themselves and just
fall victim to utter stupidity. And it

90
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:01.519
seems very difficult not to do that. I'm sure. I'm not saying I've

91
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:07.519
not made any mistakes myself. I
mean, you're gonna kind of it gets

92
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.240
to be difficult. However, I
am. I am proud, I gotta

93
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:18.759
say, and I think I've I've
been measured as much as I've been measured

94
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:24.360
enough in that I do believe my
take is better than most. Let's say,

95
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:26.480
so this is me boasting a bit
here we go. I feel good

96
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:37.960
about myself tonight, and I do
know that the esoteric occult side of things

97
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:46.080
is appealing to a lot of people
who you know, might be there able

98
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.120
to pull the levers of making transhumanist
moves, you know what I mean,

99
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.799
like big power players, And definitely
there have been some already that have.

100
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:00.639
You just can tell when somebody is
in the know, so to speak,

101
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:07.279
and actually understands occult concepts and like
observes them one way or another themselves.

102
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:18.200
And certainly with the more intelligent sides
of the transhumanist crowd, that is apparent.

103
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:24.080
And not just the more intelligent,
but the more influential I think the

104
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.480
more influential, more powerful people get, the more they're kind of inclined to

105
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:41.200
have this religiosity over themselves and their
own success prosperity doctrine or whatever they apply

106
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:46.559
that. But there's a definite,
real occult angle to it, and you

107
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:50.559
can go off in a lot of
different directions with this. You can take

108
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.039
any certain individual and go like,
okay, we can look at them here

109
00:09:54.039 --> 00:10:01.320
here here, and it's very interesting. But the last week headlines have been

110
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:09.720
made by one of these sorts of
characters. A billionaire no less, Mark

111
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:16.200
Andresen, who was famous for starting
up Netscape back in the early days of

112
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:24.399
web browsers. Old folks might remember
using Netscape to browse the Internet. He

113
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.320
was behind that, and then later
he became a venture capital guy in Silicon

114
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:37.720
Valley investing and lots of successful ventures
out there up there in that beloved portion

115
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:46.639
of the world, Silicon Valley.
I want to go off on a weird

116
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.360
tangent with like Ohio State there for
a moment, but I'm not going to

117
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:58.440
do that anyway. Mark Andresen recently
published his piece called The Techno Optimist Manifesto,

118
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.320
not too long of a sort of
essay sort of thing, and it's

119
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:11.559
gotten a lot of critique in the
media the past week, and deservedly so.

120
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:13.200
A lot of people are giving him
a hard time over it, which

121
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:18.159
they had ought to do. However, there are a couple of things.

122
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.279
I haven't been able to read the
whole thing through. I've skimmed the entire

123
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.879
thing. I haven't sat down to
read the whole thing. I need to.

124
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.159
I will, and I think when
I do, I'll come up with

125
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:33.399
more points even But I'm just gonna
try to hit a couple of interesting things

126
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.879
tonight that I noticed about this piece. But yes, first of all,

127
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:46.600
Andres and himself, Silicon Valley billionaire, somebody who's very much ascribing to the

128
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.279
transhumanist vision, which is what this
manifesto is all about, and makes itself

129
00:11:50.360 --> 00:12:01.759
clear there someone who is. He's
a one percenter, right, and it's

130
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:07.639
fascinating, I think off the bat, I'm just gonna say this. We

131
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:20.399
get this general concept that the one
percent is like this opposition force to those

132
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:22.799
of us down here to the masses, right, So it's the masses versus

133
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.320
the one percent. The one percent
are in charge of they're the ones that

134
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:30.240
have all the resources. And this
is all true. I'm not disputing this,

135
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:37.000
but I think the thing where sometimes
we might slip up is to think

136
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:41.879
that, like in the minds of
these one percenters, that they have something

137
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:48.320
else going on, that like they
are the and the conspiratorial view of things

138
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.840
would be like these are the guys
in charge, pulling the levers again and

139
00:12:54.200 --> 00:13:01.679
making the decisions and getting one over
on us. When that is true to

140
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.960
extent. But there's also another aspect
of this where I would say that the

141
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:13.360
very things in alternative conspiracy culture that
we ascribe to and that a lot of

142
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:20.399
us should be familiar with, that
these one percent guys actually believe with the

143
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:26.919
same sort of religious fervor that you
know, a hardcore conspiracy theorist does actually

144
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:30.919
And I couldn't help but notice that
in this manifesto. Is that a lot

145
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:35.480
of conspiracy tropes or whatever popped up
when I was looking at it. And

146
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:41.600
I guarantee you Andrewson believes these things
very much, so as much as any

147
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:46.559
you know, the stereotypical guy who
lives in his parents' basement and is very

148
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.720
much into alternative things, right,
the guy who has nothing, So the

149
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:56.200
guy who has everything and the guy
who has nothing. I think intellectually there's

150
00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:01.600
not as much of a divide as
one would want to think there is.

151
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:07.360
In fact, it's probably a lot
more similar than people think. And that

152
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:13.919
brings up a lot of interesting points. But we won't we don't need to

153
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:18.279
even speak to them now that Let's
just go through this a bit and I'm

154
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:22.600
going to try to, like see
if I can make some of the interesting

155
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:28.320
points right right off the bat.
I will I'll take this one quote that

156
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:35.879
fits back into the revolve Man's scientific
rise to godhood story, and that is

157
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:41.519
the belief in the occult and things
like that and how it applies to technology.

158
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:46.919
So this is a quote taken from
this piece. Artificial intelligence is our

159
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:54.519
alchemy, our philosopher's stone. We
are literally making sand think. And that's

160
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:58.679
that's a quote that if I had
had it, had it existed, that

161
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:03.039
this wrote Revolve, I absolutely would
put it in the book. It's another

162
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:07.759
like smoking gun evidence of like,
look, these guys, they're into these

163
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:13.320
ideas all right, bare minimum,
but whether you believe them or not,

164
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:20.039
Like these guys certainly do. They
believe. They believe in their own powers

165
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.840
right, and in the power of
technology in the occult sense. They believe

166
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:30.879
in alchemy because it's an alchemy.
The thing with belief in alchemy, you

167
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:35.320
just have to understand what it actually
is. It's uh, it's it's a

168
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:41.440
lot of like metaphor really and and
people want to make it something more than

169
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:48.000
it isn't And by making it like
people want to take it literally all the

170
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.879
time because we've kind of been trained
to take everything literally and if it's not

171
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:58.720
literal, then it's useless. You
absolutely cannot have that frame of reference when

172
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:02.840
you're dealing with alchemy or anything occult
for that matter. You're in a nebulous

173
00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:07.879
gray area where things are often symbolic
in nature. However, the fact that

174
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.480
they are symbolic doesn't mean that they
don't exist, they're not real. Just

175
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:17.080
because they are intangible does not mean
that they cannot affect the tangible world,

176
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:22.240
right, It's this weird interplay between
tangible and tangible material, immaterial things you

177
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:27.559
can touch, things that you can't, spiritual material above below all that stuff.

178
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:37.039
I know for a lot of people
that's difficult. So thus the problem

179
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:42.960
with it. I would, I
think an interesting observation here would be anybody

180
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:48.399
who has the time to sit and
think, who has some leisure time and

181
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:56.039
an inclination towards intellectual pursuits, is
going to be able to crack these codes,

182
00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:03.960
which aren't that complex. Really takes
time and will and effort to do

183
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.519
it, things that you know a
billionaire might have. You know, I

184
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.799
know that I'm not saying that you
know, you make a billion dollars by

185
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:15.880
being lazy not doing anything, But
I'm also saying, once you have that

186
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:19.920
kind of money, you should be
able to find some free time sometime for

187
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:26.839
leisure and intellectual pursuits might be something
you're interested in being a guy, like

188
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:33.480
mark and treason. So okay,
onward, he's alchemy interesting alchemy. Quote

189
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.279
there, right, we're making sand
thing I do. Actually I like that.

190
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:42.839
But anyway, so he's making Okay, he's at the beginning. He's

191
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:48.839
got these different headlines or these different
what do you call them? I forget

192
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.720
the headings, the different headings to
this essay. One of the headings is

193
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:56.880
lies, he says, have we've
been lied to? That the future is

194
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:02.279
all terrible and technology is awful and
it creates waste and it's going to kill

195
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:06.400
us. Like he says, that's
all lie. Next heading is truth.

196
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:11.559
Our civilization was built on technology.
Our civilization is built on technology. He

197
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:15.119
goes on blah blah blah. You
get the idea. Next heading technology,

198
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:19.759
he breaks out the techno optimists term, which he's using here. This is

199
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:27.839
the techno Optimist manifesto after all.
So he kind of gets into he starts

200
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:33.599
getting into the libertarian sort of philosophy
here. He gets more into it later.

201
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:41.559
Something interesting he's hinting at right here, he gets at in more hero

202
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.839
ilis read this. He says there
are only three sources of growth, population

203
00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:53.440
growth, natural resource utilization, and
technology. Develop societies are depopulating all over

204
00:18:53.480 --> 00:19:03.480
the world across cultures. The total
human population may already be shrinking. Okay.

205
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:08.279
Natural resource utilization has sharp limits,
both real and political, and so

206
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:12.039
the only perpetual source of growth is
technology. Okay. So he's doing this

207
00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:23.000
weird thing. He's noting that population
numbers are now declining, especially in developing

208
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:27.000
societies. That he's saying, true, that is happening. Now he's saying

209
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:38.880
that is a bad thing. He's
he's mentioning that. He's also mentioning that

210
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:45.839
the resources are finite. Right,
there's a natural resource utiliz utilization has limits.

211
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:52.519
But he's also getting at if you
can use technology. What he's saying

212
00:19:52.559 --> 00:20:00.119
is, if you use technology properly, then you can multiply growth. And

213
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.759
that's an alchemical principle. Is the
art of multiplication is you can take a

214
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:08.640
very tiny or even non existent thing
and amplify it, multiply it into something

215
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:14.240
more. You get more from the
something from nothing, more from less.

216
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.480
Things like that, and so he
says, we believe, we believe technology

217
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:22.160
is a lever on the world,
the way to make more with less.

218
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:30.880
Okay, so make us into economics
markets. So this heading is markets.

219
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:37.720
He gets basically again the libertarian principles. He gets into here, we believe

220
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:41.480
markets lift people out of poverty.
In fact, markets are by far the

221
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:44.599
most effective way to lift vast numbers
of people out of poverty, always have

222
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:53.400
been. We believe markets are an
inherently individualistic way to achieve super collective outcomes.

223
00:20:55.519 --> 00:21:03.119
Okay, enough markets whatever says planned
economy are doomed to failure, Communism

224
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:10.400
trouble that sort of thing, which
again interesting, I mean, the whole

225
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:18.079
libertarian thing, and being scared of
the plant. So he's saying he's doesn't

226
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:21.000
like the idea of the plant society, which again fits into the you know,

227
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:25.240
that sort of alternative way of viewing
things. So he's he too,

228
00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:30.119
is if you're worried about a plant
society, So is Mark Andriesen. I'm

229
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.519
just saying, not really making a
judgment there, I'm trying not to.

230
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:38.640
Okay, here's another heading, the
techno capital machine. Oh, dear lord,

231
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:47.079
we believe the techno capital machine of
markets and innovation never ends. Ben

232
00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:55.480
said, spirals continuously upward. Okay, God, largest number of jobs I

233
00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:59.440
can talk about all that. Oh
jees Okay, now here's something very fascinating.

234
00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:06.839
We believe in, we being the
techno optimist, right, we believe

235
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:14.759
in accelerationism, the conscious and deliberate
propulsion of technological development to ensure the fulfillment

236
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:22.279
of the law of accelerating returns capital
letters there, to ensure the techno capital

237
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:29.519
upward spiral continues forever. It's interesting. I mean, accelerationism is a generalized

238
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:40.200
sort of philosophical, philosophical idea.
It's been used by some interesting groups across

239
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:45.640
the political spectrum. Uh, some
of which are downright, Uh that,

240
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:51.279
I mean, they're they're far right, like neo Nazi groups and things like

241
00:22:51.319 --> 00:23:00.160
that apply it accelerationism to their idea
of like like the race wars and and

242
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:11.160
saying that deliberately trying to make those
things happen, and accelerating conflict, racial

243
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:15.079
conflict and division, things like that, and tearing down the entire system.

244
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:22.319
That is, we'll bring about this
inevitable better world that we need to go

245
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:26.559
to. So that's one again,
He's not I'm not saying that in reason

246
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:33.000
is a neo Nazi or anything like
that, but just accelerationism is a fringe

247
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.039
concept to be sure, and you
can apply things like that to all sorts

248
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:42.440
of fringe ideas. But again,
just an interesting sort of thing there.

249
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:49.160
Intelligence heading. Okay, okay,
oh, here's the quote. We believe

250
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:55.400
artificial intelligence is our alchemy, our
philosopher's stone. We are literally making sand

251
00:23:55.440 --> 00:24:00.680
think. We believe artificial intelligence is
best thought of a universal problem solver,

252
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:06.279
and we have a lot of problems
to solve. We believe it can save

253
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:11.640
lives. We believe any deceleration of
AI will cost lives, therefore stopping it

254
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.720
as a former murder. We believe
in augmented intelligence just as much as we

255
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:22.400
believe in artificial intelligence. Intelligent machines, augment intelligent humans driving a geometric expansion

256
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:29.279
of what humans can do. Very
transhumanist concept there. Okay, enough of

257
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:33.599
that energy. Energy is life,
we take it for granted, but without

258
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:38.079
it we have darkness, starvation and
pain. Energy. Is there anything interesting

259
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:47.359
here? Oh? Okay, okay, okay, I'm trying to see there's

260
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:49.000
something I want to pick out of
here. I want to make sure I

261
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:56.839
don't pass it up. I don't
think I have yet. Abundance is a

262
00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:03.960
heading, let's see here, blah
okay, So yeah, like every good

263
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:07.400
techno optimist that's come before him,
because he's not the first. There's been

264
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.160
other of these guys. It's like, Yeah, we're gonna make a world

265
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:15.200
of abundance for everybody. It's it's
coming just around the corner. It hasn't

266
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:22.319
happened yet, but it's I mean
they say it has, but I mean

267
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:26.279
down here, from on the ground
where we're at, you could definitely say,

268
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.720
yeah, I see what you're saying, Like there's conveniences, but also

269
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:36.960
getting by is more difficult than it
ever has been. And how's technology stopping

270
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:41.000
that? It isn't And hey,
you're doing pretty good. You seem to

271
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.480
have an excess of abundance, So
why don't you? Why don't I Why

272
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:52.960
why do you have it? And
I don't? And and the the the

273
00:25:52.160 --> 00:26:00.319
argument there is that you know,
the system is set up so that all

274
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:06.319
of the abundance is it goes into
the coffers of a tiny minority of people.

275
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:10.400
I mean, it is set up
that way at present. If you

276
00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:12.440
don't believe that, you're out of
your damn mind. I don't. I

277
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:17.160
don't know how anybody doesn't see that
at this point, because pretty much everybody

278
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:22.480
does. Kind of takes zero intelligence
to see the obvious, and it's just

279
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:26.000
annoying when somebody like inrees and says, yeah, it's it's gonna it's gonna

280
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:29.799
happen, and some of us are
just saying like, well, why isn't

281
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:33.279
it happening right now? Like well, why why do you have all of

282
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:37.880
this? I mean, it's just
obvious. The way that the economy is

283
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:44.359
set up, the way that markets
have been structured to just line the pockets

284
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:48.799
of the investors of these companies that
are you know, just built to pull

285
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:53.920
profit in at any and all costs
so that they just make more and more

286
00:26:53.920 --> 00:27:00.559
money for themselves and that's it,
that's all. And they pay their chief

287
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:04.039
executive officers a lot of money.
They basically are paying them off so that

288
00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:07.920
they do a good job in filtering
all the money to them. And then

289
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.599
they buy the politicians off to make
all the laws that work so that they

290
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:18.400
can make more money and not get
in any not get any trouble over what

291
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:22.559
they're doing. Nothing, what they
do, it's all made legal because you

292
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:27.079
get your lobbyists to push off the
legislation that's going to make you the most

293
00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:32.279
profits, right, so you just
buy off a bunch of like idiot scumbag

294
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:37.039
politicians that are like some the biggest
loser you ever knew, the biggest like

295
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:41.640
idiot can be a politician just as
long as they know how to say yes.

296
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:47.240
If they know how to be a
good yes man and make sure that

297
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:52.599
what they're told to do is done, they will get paid. And maybe

298
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:56.160
if they're really good, they'll get
really good stock tips. Right, they'll

299
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:00.359
get good stock tips, and maybe
they'll get so good, maybe they'll get

300
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:06.079
to feel like an insider, and
maybe they'll be almost an insider themselves because

301
00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:08.079
they're given so many perks, like
oh, yeah, you're doing such a

302
00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:11.279
good job. We'll tell you what
to buy, when to buy it.

303
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:14.599
You'll make a fortune yourself, not
as much as us, but you'll be

304
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.519
you'll be doing way better than everybody
else. This is the way the world

305
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:26.160
works. It's it's not even complicated. It's not complex. It's not even

306
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:32.400
like conspiratorial or anything. It's it's
just it's just sad and pathetic the world

307
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:40.160
we live in. And I'm I'll
digress, digress from that and get back

308
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:45.480
to the techno Optimist manifesto, because
I guess tomorrow is going to be a

309
00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:51.599
new day. So let's just keep
reading about how great technology is, how

310
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:56.519
great technology was is and always will
be. Let's see, we believe that

311
00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:02.640
out of all these people come scientists, technologists, artists and visionaries beyond their

312
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:07.920
wildest dreams. It's real nice to
be to talk like this and say artists

313
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:11.480
and visionaries. I mean, being
an artist and a visionary can be nice.

314
00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:18.559
Doesn't necessarily necessarily pay the bills.
And if it doesn't, I mean,

315
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:25.400
what good is it in our world? It Quite frankly, it doesn't

316
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:30.559
matter, like I being in There's
different ways to be an artist. You

317
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:33.759
can be like a true anybody can
be a true artist. You you don't

318
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:37.039
have to make any money to be
an artist. You just have to have

319
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:41.839
like a way of viewing the life
and living your life and like creating things

320
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:48.960
where you're consciously doing things and doing
things that aren't that are somehow out of

321
00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:52.880
the ordinary, but you have a
philosophy behind it. There's a reason you

322
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:55.680
do it. You're trying to be
different. You're trying to make a point,

323
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:59.000
either to yourself or to a wider
audience. It may not matter,

324
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:03.160
but you're doing things to be different. That's being an artist. There's also

325
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:07.279
another form of artists, like maybe
this should be called a commercial artist.

326
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:11.400
If you're clever and you can figure
out how to get grants, and if

327
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:15.119
you figure out how, if you
have good social skills, you know who

328
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:22.319
to talk to so that you can
work either alongside them or for them,

329
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:27.519
or again get the grant money from
them, or get their attention somehow.

330
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:33.680
You get in the in crowd and
you make you turn your art, which

331
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:37.839
may be legitimate art still I'm not
saying it's not, but you you market

332
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.759
it into a viable product, so
you put a lot of effort into marketing.

333
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:47.559
Therefore you make it a living.
Okay, So that's that's the form

334
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:56.200
of art that can make you a
living then, And I don't know just

335
00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:02.640
that anytime somebody talks about this kind
of stuff and just talking about like a

336
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:06.480
wonderful future, we're all gonna hold
hands, everybody's there's gonna be abundance for

337
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:10.039
everybody. It's they're just it's just
not that way. And I don't know

338
00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:12.880
at what point this changes. Then. I'm not saying it's even wrong that

339
00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:17.480
an artist is like you know,
like the starving artists, Like, is

340
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:21.559
it wrong that that is a thing, is a real thing, Like is

341
00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:23.640
it good that that's the way things
it? Does it make it more pure

342
00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:27.920
when you're not getting paid? Does
it make it? Is it abominable?

343
00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:32.400
Should? Uh? You know?
It just raises a lot of questions.

344
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:37.799
He got me off on a tangent
on that. Uh another heading, not

345
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:44.359
utopia, but close enough. He's
saying they don't believe in utopia. Let's

346
00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:48.920
see here, let's he say we
are adherent to what Thomas Salle calls a

347
00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:56.839
constrained vision. Uh contra, the
unconstrained vision of utopia. Communism and expertise

348
00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:00.119
means taking people as they are,
testing ideas empirically and liberating people to make

349
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:04.920
their own choices. Okay again,
libertarian the individual things like that. We

350
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:13.880
get it. Heading becoming technological Superman. That old idea again, it's been

351
00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:21.640
a popular term among transhumanists for decades. Was it rc W? It was

352
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:24.720
Edinger? It was his last name, And was it RCW? His last

353
00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:29.680
name was Edger? He did that
Man into Superman was an interesting piece from

354
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:36.480
I think the seventies. Let's see, I'm trying to see if there's anything

355
00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:37.920
to pick out from here. I'm
not seeing anything I'm gonna have to read

356
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:40.680
this whole thing and come back.
I think again on this one, because

357
00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:46.759
there's a lot going on. Technological
values is a heading. We believe in

358
00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:51.200
truth. We believe rich is better
than poor, cheap is better than expensive,

359
00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:55.440
and abundant is better than that.
Abundance term is just I'm sorry,

360
00:32:55.480 --> 00:33:00.039
it's it's incredibly annoying every time I
see that damn word. You know.

361
00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:07.119
We believe in making everyone rich,
everything cheap, and everything abundant. Okay,

362
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:13.319
there's a lot of cheap junk that
we've done that much. Everyone rich,

363
00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:22.039
I don't know about. We believe
extrinsic motivations wealth, fame, revenge

364
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:27.359
are fine as far as they go. But we believe intrinsic motivations intrinsic the

365
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:30.240
satisfaction of building something new, the
camaraderie being on a team, achievement of

366
00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:35.079
becoming a better version of oneself,
more fulfilling, and more lasting. Yes,

367
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:39.839
that's good. We believe in the
Silicon Valley code of pay it forward,

368
00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:45.279
trust via aligned incentives, generosity of
spirit to help one another and learn

369
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:52.319
and grow. We believe technology makes
greatness more possible and likely. Oh boy,

370
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:57.799
here we go, petting the meaning
of life. Oh lord, we're

371
00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:00.039
not necessarily left wing, although some
of us are. We are not necessarily

372
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:05.519
right wing, although some of us
are. Sounds like the accelerationists. We

373
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:09.400
are materially focused for a reason,
to open the aperture on how we may

374
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:20.039
choose to live amid a material abundance. Material abundance from markets and technology opens

375
00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:24.159
the space for religion, for politics, and for choices of how to live.

376
00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:30.039
Oh, here's the enemy. Okay, I think there's something interesting here.

377
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:34.639
The enemy. We have enemies.
Our enemies are not bad people,

378
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:37.800
but rather bad ideas. Okay,
Oh yeah, yeah, here's something interesting.

379
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:42.440
I'm gonna read this paragraph. Our
present society has been subjected to a

380
00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:49.679
mass demoralization campaign for six decades against
technology and against life, under varying names

381
00:34:49.760 --> 00:35:00.000
like existential risk, sustainability ESG,
sustainable development goals, social responsibility, stakeholders,

382
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:07.159
capitalism, precautionary principle, trust and
safety, tech ethics, risk,

383
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:15.679
risk management, degrowth, the limits
of growth. Okay, that that paragraph

384
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:21.639
stands out to me because he's pulling
a lot of buzzwords from the Agenda twenty

385
00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:31.079
one document the un that made quite
the stir in again. Alternative conspiratorial circles

386
00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:37.400
a big deal for a long time, and continuing to do so. This

387
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:49.039
whole push in the in the fringes
in alternative circles, the tendency and again,

388
00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:52.000
and this is always I'm generalizing,
so please don't crucify me, But

389
00:35:52.199 --> 00:36:00.000
the tendency in alternative circles, from
my observation point being here for so long

390
00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:06.320
over the years, is that one
tends to go towards the concept that the

391
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:10.960
UN goals for sustainable development as outlined
in Agenda twenty one, are part of

392
00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:16.800
a grander conspiracy by the globalists to
take control of the world under the guise

393
00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:25.000
of environmentalism, so that all things
you hear about climate change, global warming,

394
00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:30.480
all of that can be dismissed aside
as, not even true, because

395
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:39.639
it fits into this sustainable Development Agenda
twenty one conspiratorial worldview that we've created.

396
00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:46.760
So any sort of like viewing of
degradation of the environment, again, climate

397
00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:53.159
change tends to be thrown out the
window as a non factor or beyond that,

398
00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:59.679
even like a distraction to push us
further into our enslavement. And you

399
00:36:59.719 --> 00:37:04.840
know, new world order globalist agenda, right, that's the idea I would

400
00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:08.119
say from the looks of things,
Andresen is very much on board with that

401
00:37:08.760 --> 00:37:15.119
alternative concept. It looks like he's
using a bunch of buzz terms right here

402
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:22.840
in this one paragraph sustainable development goals. The Limits of Growth was the title

403
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:32.239
of a book published by a group. It was I don't know if it

404
00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:37.719
was the IPCC, but it was
somebody affiliated with that scene. If it

405
00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:44.320
wasn't the IPCC, the International Panel
on Climate Change itself, it was a

406
00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:49.199
bunch of people that were involved in
that that got together and published the Limits

407
00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:52.519
of Growth book. I think it
was the IPCC, there was. The

408
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:55.800
Limits of Growth was the big first
publication. And then even more oh,

409
00:37:55.880 --> 00:37:59.599
it might have been the Club of
Rome. I think it was the Club

410
00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:05.440
of Rome was involved in this too, which is just tangential to the whole

411
00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:09.599
same group. Anyway. There's the
other one that made waves, which I

412
00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:14.639
have a copy of. Gosh,
the title will lose me now, it's

413
00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:22.320
killing me. Uh oh, The
First Global Revolution. That was the big

414
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:29.039
book that is quoted all the time
and again in alternative circles where they're saying

415
00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:34.199
like, look, the world as
we know it cannot stand. We have

416
00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:37.639
to do this. Sustainable development thing
or the Earth is going to be destroyed.

417
00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:43.360
I wish I had the quotes from
it, because I've read the book

418
00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:46.719
myself and I still have it,
I have a copy of it. But

419
00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:52.000
it very much fits into that.
And I would say that, I mean,

420
00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:55.440
to me, it's clear that Andresen
is very much on board with all

421
00:38:55.519 --> 00:39:02.320
of that. Which, again,
if you're the average conspiracy theorist kind of

422
00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:09.719
you know, it's contrary to the
narrative because is Andresen as a one percenter

423
00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:14.880
as a big Silicon valley guy,
a venture capitalist, silicon valley guy.

424
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:17.079
Is he not the enemy? Is
he not the problem? Is he not

425
00:39:17.199 --> 00:39:27.280
one of the conspirators? Is his
adherence to this part of alternative thinking?

426
00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:37.159
Is it just a ruse? Like
what's going on for me? My at

427
00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:44.480
where I'm at now, my interpretation
of this is that Andreason is very much

428
00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:49.840
this whole essay he's putting out,
He's very much it's a heartfelt thing.

429
00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:55.239
He's not bssaying. He's putting what
he actually believes out there with this piece.

430
00:39:55.480 --> 00:39:59.360
He's not like telling you a lie. He's not trying to like pull

431
00:39:59.360 --> 00:40:01.960
a fast on you know, he's
not trying to like you know, obfuscate

432
00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:06.840
or do anything fancy like that.
This is the way he actually thinks.

433
00:40:06.960 --> 00:40:15.400
I do reckon, okay, and
I think that what might what we might

434
00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:22.119
want to stop and think and find
fascinating because I do, is that somebody

435
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:25.119
like him, like a through and
through one percent guy, for sure,

436
00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:44.280
is very much he very much ascribes
to alternative, contrarian, conspiratorial views of

437
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:51.480
the world that are not far off
from those of again, somebody who has

438
00:40:51.719 --> 00:40:57.639
nothing and also is into the same
ideas. He's very much into fringe concepts.

439
00:40:57.800 --> 00:41:04.159
I've said this about the transhumanist movement
fairly quite a bit too, is

440
00:41:04.199 --> 00:41:12.920
that it's very good to criticize them. But what you have to remember is

441
00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:16.039
that the transhumanists, if nothing else, they are absolutely a fringe group,

442
00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:22.800
and as such they are subject to
a lot of the same things that conspiracy

443
00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:31.679
alternative communities are as well. The
same achilles heels are there, the same

444
00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:37.960
faults are there, the same the
same virtues are there too. I mean,

445
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:43.840
there is virtue in having alternative ways
of thought and being on the fringes.

446
00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:51.519
There's a the place of virtue that
brings you into that frame of reference

447
00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:59.199
to begin with. It's it's somebody
who legitimately wants to do good for the

448
00:41:59.239 --> 00:42:02.599
world. I think why most people
go that way. I think that's true

449
00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:07.880
of the transhumanists. I think that's
true of conspiracy theorists. I think we

450
00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:10.559
need to all remember that. I
think it's true of Andreas, and I

451
00:42:10.559 --> 00:42:15.480
think he really actually wants to make
the world a better place. Is he

452
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:22.960
insane or his ideas ludicrous? Probably? But he means, well, yeah,

453
00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:27.000
so you know, we got that
going for us. He's got that

454
00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:34.599
going for him. He doesn't mean
it's like he's look right here, it's

455
00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:37.639
the same heading the enemy. We
have enemies. Our enemies are not bad

456
00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:42.519
people, but rather bad ideas.
Yeah, exactly, they're living in our

457
00:42:42.559 --> 00:42:47.199
own heads, and Reason is not. He is subject to this as much

458
00:42:47.239 --> 00:42:51.360
as anybody he's writing about. We
all are we all, we all,

459
00:42:51.719 --> 00:42:58.280
we all have this hurdle to jump
over. We all have to realize our

460
00:42:58.320 --> 00:43:05.280
own shortcomings, and we gotta we
gotta be real careful on the road ahead

461
00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:07.239
as we move forward with all of
this, is all I am saying.

462
00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:14.320
So you know that's as much true
for Mark and Reason as it is for

463
00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:17.480
you or I or anybody else.
Okay, So let's just remember that.

464
00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:27.000
So also, along with the sustainable
development and the midst the growth and all

465
00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:34.599
that stuff, is the Malthusian view
of population, in that you know,

466
00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:40.199
the earth can only handle a certain
size population, and then once it gets

467
00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:45.400
there, it has to be cut
back, either artificially or naturally artificially.

468
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:47.599
It starts to get really scary because
then it's like, well, who's controlling

469
00:43:47.639 --> 00:43:51.760
the population by what means? You
know, you get eugenics involved, it

470
00:43:51.800 --> 00:44:00.519
gets horrible here on on this side
of the thing. Let's here, So

471
00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:02.519
let's let's see if we can get
to this. Our enemy, this is

472
00:44:02.519 --> 00:44:08.199
interesting again. Our enemy is deceleration, d growth, depopulation, the nihilistic

473
00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:13.239
wish, so trendy among our elites. Oh, look at that, so

474
00:44:13.400 --> 00:44:16.840
trendy among our elites for fewer people, less energy, and more suffering and

475
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:24.559
death. So our enemy is Friedrich
Nietzsche's Last Man. I tell you one

476
00:44:24.679 --> 00:44:29.679
must still have chaos in oneself to
give birth to a dancing star. I

477
00:44:29.719 --> 00:44:34.960
tell you you have still chaos in
yourselves. This is from Nietzsche. Alas,

478
00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:37.360
there comes the time when man will
no longer give birth to any star.

479
00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:40.920
Alas, there comes a time to
the most despicable man who can no

480
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:49.159
longer despise himself. Okay, well, anyway, it's interesting. It's this

481
00:44:49.239 --> 00:44:54.039
is fascinating because again, like at
some point in here he's saying, like

482
00:44:54.079 --> 00:45:00.559
we actually have to increase the population
to like h fifty billion. I remember

483
00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:06.960
skimming through this and he says something
along those lines. So he's like he's

484
00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:13.000
doing the thing, which again is
what the knee jerk response in alternative circles

485
00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:19.360
is. Well, if if this
side of the coin is saying this,

486
00:45:19.639 --> 00:45:22.559
and they're wrong and they want to
control us, therefore I should go to

487
00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:27.639
the opposite direction, and then that
is the right thing to do. So

488
00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:30.719
if the Malthusians are saying we need
to depopulate the world, to say of

489
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:34.719
the planet, the actual right thing
to do is to keep populating and populating

490
00:45:34.800 --> 00:45:37.639
until you know, so we don't
start, just keep going like never stop.

491
00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:42.880
There are no limits to growth,
like you just keep going and it'll

492
00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:45.039
actually not make things worse but make
things better because there's more of us we

493
00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:51.360
can do more. Right, So
he very much goes in a direction which

494
00:45:51.400 --> 00:45:58.039
is interesting. Okay, this is
okay. The patron saints of techno optimism

495
00:45:58.119 --> 00:46:04.280
are also interesting to see. But
anyway, I mean, that's it.

496
00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:08.000
That's that's enough for now. I
might give this thing an entire read and

497
00:46:08.320 --> 00:46:14.039
make even more notes on it and
see what I can derive from it.

498
00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:21.880
But for now, that is my
first take on the Techno Optimist Manifesto by

499
00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:27.559
Mark and Treeson. I mean,
I'm not too far removed from ourselves.

500
00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:32.840
Sure, he's a billionaire, and
you know he's he's living a different life

501
00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:37.679
than us because of that. But
other than that, in his mind,

502
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:40.400
he's not a whole lot different than
you or I is he? That depends

503
00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:44.639
on how your mind works, but
I know how mine does, and it's

504
00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:47.840
kind of similar to his. It
certainly has been. I can admit that.

505
00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:55.480
Can you? Can you do that? That's my question? How crazy

506
00:46:55.519 --> 00:47:00.760
do we have to get moving forward
in this bizarre world that we've all played

507
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:05.239
our part in building. We've all
done our own little part in this,

508
00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:12.199
and we all continue to do so. Should we be optimistic? Should we

509
00:47:12.239 --> 00:47:17.079
be pessimistic? How can one even
be realistic in the middle of all this

510
00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:22.800
madness? How are we supposed to
make anything heads or tails out of any

511
00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:28.079
of it? Am I slipping headlong
into nihilism. Am I getting in that

512
00:47:28.119 --> 00:47:31.920
trap that Nietzsche warned us about?
Is that the problem here maybe is God

513
00:47:32.039 --> 00:47:37.400
dead? When somebody says God is
dead, When Nietzsche said God is dead,

514
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:39.440
what does that mean? People like
to pick that one apart, don't

515
00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:50.360
they? I would, I would
just say that For me, I find

516
00:47:50.400 --> 00:47:54.639
that to be a highly esoteric sort
of thing to say. To begin with

517
00:47:55.119 --> 00:48:00.199
God being dead, there's a concept
of the dying God. What is the

518
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:05.960
dying God? I think might be
a clue to if God is dead,

519
00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:08.639
we might want to look back into
the past of what the dying God is,

520
00:48:08.760 --> 00:48:19.880
what it was, what that means, things like that. And Nietzsche

521
00:48:20.039 --> 00:48:22.920
is interesting. Nietzsche is one of
those guys that you read and when you're

522
00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:27.159
reading him, you hate the fact
that you're agreeing with a lot of what

523
00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:30.360
he's saying. For me, that's
what it's like for me when I'm reading

524
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:35.960
It's like, this is really terrible, and I agree with it, and

525
00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:39.480
it's and it makes you kind of
upset. But you know, he was

526
00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:45.000
giving a philosophy, philosophical take on
our bizarre well, I mean, he

527
00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:51.519
came before our time even but he's
still what his philosophical take on things is

528
00:48:51.559 --> 00:48:59.639
still very much relevant to the strange
technological society that we are in keeps evolving,

529
00:48:59.800 --> 00:49:06.000
and it has a evolution all its
own. I think an interesting question

530
00:49:06.079 --> 00:49:12.880
to ask is the technological society?
Are we evolving along with it? Is

531
00:49:12.920 --> 00:49:16.079
it evolving beyond us, past us? Is it taking over us? Is

532
00:49:16.119 --> 00:49:20.480
it going to leave us behind?
Or are we a part of it?

533
00:49:21.199 --> 00:49:25.199
Or is this simply our Is this
our evolution that we're taking hold of?

534
00:49:25.239 --> 00:49:32.400
And technology is merely a tool.
Things like this we might want to start

535
00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:38.360
thinking about too, like who made
who? But who's in control? Is

536
00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:46.679
anybody really in control? Is it? Should we even want to be automation?

537
00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:55.920
Artificial intelligence? What is actual intelligence? What what makes something artificial?

538
00:49:57.000 --> 00:50:00.719
To begin with? What is artifice? What have we done with the artifice?

539
00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:04.440
Already? Again gets back to the
question of what is art what is

540
00:50:04.559 --> 00:50:07.840
artificial? It seems like it's these
It seems like it's easy question to say

541
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:12.559
answer, doesn't it? But you
start trying and it's actually you find out

542
00:50:12.599 --> 00:50:15.960
it's not. It's not so easy
after all, And a lot of things

543
00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:19.360
that we take for granted, maybe
we've made a mistake in doing that.

544
00:50:20.679 --> 00:50:24.559
You know, maybe it is all
about the small things in life. Maybe

545
00:50:24.559 --> 00:50:30.639
there's more meaning to that than again, the sort of exoteric way that we

546
00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:36.920
want to view that, And it's
sort of like the romantic version of it's

547
00:50:36.920 --> 00:50:40.840
all about the small things, the
little things in life. There's a hallmark

548
00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:45.679
version of that, and then there's
a horrific version of that as well.

549
00:50:46.440 --> 00:50:50.840
So you gotta take the good with
the bad, you gotta. You know,

550
00:50:50.920 --> 00:50:54.800
it's the merry mother and crone world
we live in, right, You

551
00:50:54.840 --> 00:50:59.800
have to. You can't just embrace
one then forget about the other two.

552
00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:08.840
It's a trinity that we've we've been
given. Our lives are cyclical in nature,

553
00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:15.960
as that trinity points out, So
we do have to remember that that

554
00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:23.199
we are part of this perpetual motion. That do we view it as a

555
00:51:23.320 --> 00:51:28.079
machine? Is nature? A machine? Is a nature? A natural machine?

556
00:51:28.360 --> 00:51:34.400
Or is artifice that our creation?
Is that? The only true machine

557
00:51:34.719 --> 00:51:39.199
is the perpetual motion that we're all
part of naturally? Is that above and

558
00:51:39.239 --> 00:51:43.880
beyond the artificial? Or are they
one and the same. It's the artificial

559
00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:52.119
just a reflection of the natural.
Is it wrong to make divisions? Such

560
00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:57.159
divisions and things? I don't know
Hey, I who am I to judge?

561
00:51:57.480 --> 00:52:00.079
I'm not. I'm certainly not gonna
tell anybody what to believe in it

562
00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:07.679
comes to these strange philosophical musings.
But you know, they're they're fun,

563
00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:12.119
they're fun to have. It's great. Why why don't you sit down one

564
00:52:12.199 --> 00:52:16.440
day and write something like the technoof
your version of the technoof to this manifesto

565
00:52:19.239 --> 00:52:24.480
many already have. You certainly could, and I encourage it, certainly writing

566
00:52:24.519 --> 00:52:30.360
something like that, there's no harm
in doing And I definitely don't think there's

567
00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:34.719
any harm in Andreason writing this.
If anything, it helped so we get

568
00:52:34.760 --> 00:52:42.760
a little view into an interesting guy's
mind, an interesting and influential guy.

569
00:52:43.039 --> 00:52:51.239
I think it's very good to have
some sort of be given, some sort

570
00:52:51.239 --> 00:52:57.320
of understanding as to how the mind
is taking And certainly that Andreason gave us

571
00:52:57.400 --> 00:53:00.199
such a gift with this. So
thank you, sir, I do I

572
00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:07.199
thank you for your service in that
regard. Whether anybody learns anything from it,

573
00:53:07.239 --> 00:53:10.320
is you know, that's the balls
in our court now? Probably not,

574
00:53:12.519 --> 00:53:16.119
but you know, the possibility is
there, The possibility to learn something

575
00:53:17.239 --> 00:53:22.719
always there any given situation. We'll
just make the most of it. Or

576
00:53:22.920 --> 00:53:28.199
perhaps we'll make the least of it. I don't know whatever. This is

577
00:53:28.239 --> 00:53:30.920
the Age of Transitions. It's the
show you've been listening to here and we

578
00:53:31.159 --> 00:53:36.719
are getting towards the end. I
want to thank you for being here in

579
00:53:36.880 --> 00:53:40.800
a live show or podcast format again, the Age of Transitions dot com.

580
00:53:40.800 --> 00:53:46.119
That's the website. Check out revolve
Man's Scientific Scientific Rise to Godhood. You

581
00:53:46.199 --> 00:53:52.079
might get it. It does.
There's a lot of interesting material when it

582
00:53:52.119 --> 00:54:00.719
comes to the esoteric that and specifically
as it relates to technology and transhumanism.

583
00:54:00.800 --> 00:54:07.800
So if you are interested, as
is obviously Mark Andres and then you might

584
00:54:07.800 --> 00:54:10.599
want to pick up the book.
I doubt that he's actually read it,

585
00:54:10.599 --> 00:54:15.599
which is I don't know who's read
the book. I always wondered that,

586
00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:19.000
but I'm always fascinated to hear when
people when somebody has like, oh,

587
00:54:19.039 --> 00:54:22.559
yeah, I've read that. That's
always really cool. So if that sort

588
00:54:22.559 --> 00:54:25.239
of stuff interests you, pick up
the book and read it, and you'll

589
00:54:25.280 --> 00:54:29.559
be supporting the show. So I
say thank you, hey really quickly.

590
00:54:29.639 --> 00:54:32.760
Guess the guy who recently interviewed you, did he read your book yet or

591
00:54:32.920 --> 00:54:37.360
because I know he was interested in
it, I don't know. I didn't

592
00:54:37.400 --> 00:54:40.400
ask him. I know that he
brought it up on his shows, which

593
00:54:40.440 --> 00:54:45.800
I was very happy about. I
didn't ask him whether he read it.

594
00:54:45.840 --> 00:54:49.400
I don't know. I wrote,
well, I wrote a little bio FOREW

595
00:54:50.559 --> 00:54:52.480
because I wanted to get you on
there. So I wrote a little bio

596
00:54:52.519 --> 00:54:54.880
and I was like, and you
gotta definitely check this out. And here's

597
00:54:54.880 --> 00:55:00.880
what people said about it. I
found a I think a review one of

598
00:55:00.920 --> 00:55:06.000
those sites, maybe like a good
Reads or something. Yeah, okay,

599
00:55:06.039 --> 00:55:08.119
And I sent him that and I
was like, yeah, definitely, this

600
00:55:08.280 --> 00:55:12.159
is definitely you know, he's not
just a podcaster. He also is an

601
00:55:12.159 --> 00:55:15.760
author, you know. So I
was like, uh, yeah, definitely.

602
00:55:15.039 --> 00:55:19.559
But he hasn't released that podcast yet, has he. No, it's

603
00:55:19.599 --> 00:55:22.639
not released. I don't know what
his schedule is that I know. I'm

604
00:55:22.639 --> 00:55:29.039
not sure either. Yeah, I
know. It's like it's like his own

605
00:55:29.079 --> 00:55:31.239
personal podcast. It's because he does
the radio show that he does his own

606
00:55:31.280 --> 00:55:35.880
show, so it's his own thing
that he's putting it out through. So

607
00:55:36.239 --> 00:55:37.119
yeah, he does. He does
a couple of things. He's got like

608
00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:42.199
the indie podcast still and then he's
got like a regular radio gig, and

609
00:55:42.239 --> 00:55:45.320
then he's also got some TV thing
going, you know, And that was

610
00:55:45.360 --> 00:55:49.480
the thing I like for the first
two people who did I put up,

611
00:55:49.719 --> 00:55:52.039
I said, you gotta have Aaron
Franz and you gotta have Larry Hancock.

612
00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:55.280
I was like, the these are
the guys, and he got both of

613
00:55:55.360 --> 00:56:00.079
yet, but I don't know what
he's doing with the order there. But

614
00:56:00.159 --> 00:56:02.159
no, And I suggest you to
people all the time, and you'd be

615
00:56:02.199 --> 00:56:06.159
surprised that some of the people that
are like, either I have the book,

616
00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:10.280
or I have read the book,
or I you know, like the

617
00:56:10.320 --> 00:56:13.079
one guy told me one time,
it's like, yeah, it's on my

618
00:56:13.159 --> 00:56:15.880
pile here with the other books.
I have to read that. And I

619
00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:17.360
was like, oh cool, you
know, because I always talk about you.

620
00:56:19.199 --> 00:56:21.840
Yeah, that's a good pile book, that's for sure. Well,

621
00:56:22.119 --> 00:56:23.000
no doubt about it. But the
great thing is that, you know,

622
00:56:23.000 --> 00:56:28.480
anybody who listens to this show,
you could even support Aaron's work by telling

623
00:56:28.519 --> 00:56:31.719
other people that they need to check
out Aaron's work. You know, that's

624
00:56:32.159 --> 00:56:36.480
that's true. Yeah, that does
work a little share on social media.

625
00:56:36.519 --> 00:56:39.199
I mean, Aaron doesn't do Facebook, so you could do Facebook for Aaron.

626
00:56:39.719 --> 00:56:43.039
You know what I'm saying, just
say, you know, mentioning.

627
00:56:43.119 --> 00:56:45.920
Since we're talking about AI and all
this other stuff. You know, there's

628
00:56:45.960 --> 00:56:47.800
this guy who listened to all the
time, who wrote a great book and

629
00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:52.199
just so happens, and you never
know, some people might just look at

630
00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:53.480
it, you know, get an
idea, be interested, and go buy

631
00:56:53.519 --> 00:56:57.559
it. That have never heard of
Aaron before. Next thing you know is

632
00:56:57.559 --> 00:57:00.880
Aaron's got a book sale, he's
got a new podcast listener, et cetera,

633
00:57:00.920 --> 00:57:04.840
et cetera. And you could do
that, you listener right, Yes,

634
00:57:05.119 --> 00:57:07.199
I would encourage it. So if
you do that, you are helping

635
00:57:07.239 --> 00:57:12.440
the show. You are supporting the
show, and that you might that is

636
00:57:12.480 --> 00:57:15.400
good to remind people of because they
might not realize that's what they're doing.

637
00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:20.000
But if you take the time to
do that stuff, it's it's a big

638
00:57:20.039 --> 00:57:22.440
help. I can only do so
much. Like I put out the show,

639
00:57:22.599 --> 00:57:27.639
I publish whatever on the Age of
Transitions dot com. The book is

640
00:57:27.719 --> 00:57:32.519
up there and I can do that. But if you can just recommend it,

641
00:57:32.639 --> 00:57:37.719
I mean, it's gonna be somebody
that I don't know, like you're

642
00:57:37.719 --> 00:57:40.119
talking to whoever. Even in the
technological age, though, you know,

643
00:57:40.760 --> 00:57:45.280
a word of mouth still works.
You know, even if you do it

644
00:57:45.440 --> 00:57:47.320
with tech and you just you know, like I said, bring it up

645
00:57:47.320 --> 00:57:52.159
on Facebook. Hey you want to
talk about automation. This just so happens.

646
00:57:52.199 --> 00:57:54.159
I know about this book, this
guy, you know what I mean,

647
00:57:54.400 --> 00:57:58.159
he's got a podcast, he's got
this, he's got that. Plus

648
00:57:58.159 --> 00:58:00.440
he does this other thing called Uncle. You know, you just need a

649
00:58:00.440 --> 00:58:04.360
little entertainment here you go, et
cetera, et cetera. I mean just

650
00:58:04.440 --> 00:58:07.639
saying, man, it's always helpful. And the more that you know other

651
00:58:07.679 --> 00:58:13.639
people circulate our work, you never
know who's listening and all that kind of

652
00:58:13.639 --> 00:58:15.880
stuff. Actually, I got I
got a weird word on somebody who's been

653
00:58:15.920 --> 00:58:20.559
listening to the network lately who's a
fairly well known person, and I'm trying

654
00:58:20.559 --> 00:58:23.079
to confirm it, and it's just
weird that they just sort of like knew

655
00:58:23.079 --> 00:58:28.760
somebody like somebody's cousin this or that, and yeah, so it was like,

656
00:58:28.880 --> 00:58:30.480
oh that's cool. Yeah, yeah, it's cool how that kind of

657
00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:32.800
stuff will pop up. You'll just
like hear that. I'm like, oh,

658
00:58:32.840 --> 00:58:36.039
okay, that's good. It makes
you feel good, it does,

659
00:58:36.360 --> 00:58:38.480
yeah, definitely definitely. So and
you never know, I mean, somebody

660
00:58:38.480 --> 00:58:42.079
could go to airin and be like
you know what, we need a new

661
00:58:42.119 --> 00:58:45.000
guy and to write about AI stuff
on name the TV show fill in the

662
00:58:45.039 --> 00:58:49.159
blank. You know what I mean. Oh yeah, I could. I

663
00:58:49.199 --> 00:58:52.239
could. I could sit here and
like write scripts or books or like come

664
00:58:52.280 --> 00:58:58.280
up with like fictional scenarios based on
transunonism. I could do it. I

665
00:58:58.280 --> 00:59:00.400
could stay up twenty four hours a
day doing it, because it's it's endless,

666
00:59:00.440 --> 00:59:05.199
Like there's like so many ways you
could go with this, especially if

667
00:59:05.199 --> 00:59:08.800
you're going into fictional realm you have
you're completely unfettered. If there's so many

668
00:59:08.840 --> 00:59:12.920
ideas, like you could go on
forever. Like imagine this for a moment,

669
00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:15.199
right, somebody who you know just
happens to work for Netflix or whatever,

670
00:59:15.280 --> 00:59:19.480
and they're looking to, you know, do some sort of extra Black

671
00:59:19.519 --> 00:59:22.760
Mirror universe, and they were talking
about doing the Red Mirror Universe and all

672
00:59:22.760 --> 00:59:25.159
that. They might turn around and
somebody might say, you know, there's

673
00:59:25.199 --> 00:59:30.840
this guy who's written about transhumanism.
He might have some interesting insights and da

674
00:59:30.920 --> 00:59:34.159
da da, you never know,
you miss, Please take it take a

675
00:59:34.280 --> 00:59:39.800
chance on me, you insane people. You might I might actually you might

676
00:59:39.840 --> 00:59:45.599
actually find that I do well by
you. Because previous employers I've a I've

677
00:59:45.639 --> 00:59:49.320
got references if you need. My
previous employers all seem to like me,

678
00:59:49.519 --> 00:59:52.239
so maybe I'll do good for you
too, exactly, And I'm very you

679
00:59:52.280 --> 00:59:55.880
got to sell yourself here, and
I can attest, just for anybody who

680
00:59:55.920 --> 01:00:00.360
would happen to be listening, I
can attest that Aaron is very easy to

681
01:00:00.400 --> 01:00:05.239
work with. So there you go, just telling you no fuss, no

682
01:00:05.400 --> 01:00:09.920
must, intelligent guy and excellent author, and I guarantee you can make a

683
01:00:09.920 --> 01:00:15.039
contribution to stuff like that any day. Plus very flexible individual as far as

684
01:00:15.079 --> 01:00:21.880
his mentality goes. You know,
you love experimental stuff. You love media

685
01:00:21.920 --> 01:00:24.119
to be odd, the odd ball
thing. You think you need a script

686
01:00:24.119 --> 01:00:28.800
for something that's too odd, you
know what it might be exactly what Aaron

687
01:00:28.880 --> 01:00:32.440
wants to do, because Aaron is
also a performance artist to sorts. So

688
01:00:32.760 --> 01:00:37.039
you know, just saying yes,
a lot of angles, a lot of

689
01:00:37.079 --> 01:00:39.400
things, and people could just make
it the right move one day, put

690
01:00:39.400 --> 01:00:43.280
the right thing in front of the
right person, and you never know,

691
01:00:43.480 --> 01:00:47.440
your humble podcaster here could be you
know, the next big thing, pumping

692
01:00:47.480 --> 01:00:52.360
out scripts before they too turn it
over to chat GPT to write them all.

693
01:00:52.840 --> 01:00:58.079
Yeah, I know, who needs
any of us? Right? I

694
01:00:58.119 --> 01:01:00.519
saw you know what this week I
actually wanted to bring them one thing up

695
01:01:00.519 --> 01:01:05.360
to you. Did you see the
weird like fervor they're having online about look

696
01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:09.599
at the weird AI people that they
put into the backgrounds of movie scenes.

697
01:01:09.599 --> 01:01:15.039
Have you seen this lately? I've
heard little bits and pieces of it.

698
01:01:15.159 --> 01:01:19.320
Yeah. Oh yeah. They look
like really like if you could imagine like

699
01:01:19.679 --> 01:01:22.760
real dolls that were beat to hell
or sort of thrown in the background.

700
01:01:22.760 --> 01:01:27.079
They look like rubbery, strange people
that the AI sort of filled in.

701
01:01:27.679 --> 01:01:30.400
And like in some cases you got
crowd scenes where there's like half a person,

702
01:01:31.440 --> 01:01:36.800
and like the the AI didn't even
bother to create a whole person.

703
01:01:36.840 --> 01:01:40.000
They'd like the person's cutting half because
it wouldn't be noticed generally in the deep

704
01:01:40.000 --> 01:01:45.519
background of a movie scene. Weird
stuff like that is already happening. Okay,

705
01:01:45.599 --> 01:01:52.559
so you know, okay, that's
great and that Yeah, just you

706
01:01:52.599 --> 01:01:54.360
know, pay CLO's attention. You
know, one of your kids could get

707
01:01:54.360 --> 01:01:59.079
a horror film out of a Disney
film now, because in the background of

708
01:01:59.079 --> 01:02:02.280
a crowd scene there might be half
a person wandering around. Okay, I'm

709
01:02:02.280 --> 01:02:06.920
just saying it is there, it's
present. I saw it this week and

710
01:02:07.440 --> 01:02:09.599
the news hasn't made anything out of
it. But there are people online freaking

711
01:02:09.639 --> 01:02:13.639
out like, oh my god,
look at the word the AI is doing.

712
01:02:13.719 --> 01:02:16.239
The AI doesn't care about making old
people. I'm like, well,

713
01:02:16.280 --> 01:02:22.039
why would it, you know?
I exactly. Anyway, there you go,

714
01:02:22.679 --> 01:02:25.440
get quick, quicker time with that
sort of half a body than a

715
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:30.639
full body. So yeah, I
mean that's it. Though this is the

716
01:02:30.679 --> 01:02:35.599

Michael Swanson explains the great national transformation that

745
01:05:30.960 --> 01:05:34.360
took place and put the Kennedy presidency
in the context of the Times and reveals

746
01:05:34.480 --> 01:05:40.440
never before published information about the Cuban
missile crisis. President Kennedy would not have

747
01:05:40.480 --> 01:05:45.159
been assassinated if he had been president
two hundred years ago. His assassination took

748
01:05:45.199 --> 01:05:48.079
place in the context of the Cold
War and the rise of the national security

749
01:05:48.119 --> 01:05:53.000
state. Before World War II,
the United States was a continental republic.

750
01:05:53.360 --> 01:05:57.519
In the decade that followed, it
became an imperial superpower. Generals such as

751
01:05:57.559 --> 01:06:00.559
Curtis LeMay not only wanted to invade
Cube, but knew that there were short

752
01:06:00.679 --> 01:06:05.119
range missiles on the island armed with
nuclear warheads that they could not destroy because

753
01:06:05.119 --> 01:06:09.880
they were on mobile launchers. Their
invasion could have led to a Third World

754
01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:14.199
War, and they wanted to go
to war anyway. The War State by

01:12:58.680 --> 01:13:03.279
back back again. Good. I'm
glad. Uncle. Yesterday we did a

784
01:13:03.319 --> 01:13:11.279
fun little live stream. Oh yeah, funny live stream we're going to we're

785
01:13:11.359 --> 01:13:18.439
starting actually started it last Saturday yesterday
yesterday. This first one we did first

786
01:13:18.479 --> 01:13:24.000
one we did, and we did. We did. We did a kor

787
01:13:24.760 --> 01:13:31.319
funny thing. We watched old NHS
Casett yeah yeah, and Call one and

788
01:13:31.840 --> 01:13:39.399
Against one that Crazy Accidents went yeah
yeah. So so we got into that

789
01:13:40.520 --> 01:13:43.800
and then we're in the middle of
a bode one. Yes, we're not

790
01:13:44.000 --> 01:13:49.159
finished it yet. So it's it's
Uncle's VHS watch party or watch VHS watch

791
01:13:49.239 --> 01:13:54.039
Party with Uncle as what it is. And it's just hopefully it's the same

792
01:13:54.119 --> 01:13:57.880
thing as like the vintaged gaming with
Uncle streams, like wherever we have time

793
01:13:57.960 --> 01:14:00.479
on Saturday, will just break out
the old VCR do a live stream.

794
01:14:01.079 --> 01:14:04.239
And I bought some VHS tapes from
the thurf store. I've got like six

795
01:14:04.319 --> 01:14:08.600
of them. We went through two
and a half. Now, Uncle was

796
01:14:08.640 --> 01:14:15.199
saying, so we watch them and
I I'm going to return them. Yeah,

797
01:14:15.239 --> 01:14:17.079
so I buy them from the thrift
store or whatever. We could buy

798
01:14:17.119 --> 01:14:19.560
them from somewhere else, Uncle,
but we'll give them back to the thrift

799
01:14:19.560 --> 01:14:23.560
store when we give them back.
I wrote a little piece of paper in

800
01:14:23.640 --> 01:14:27.800
there what Uncle and I rated it. One day we raided and then we

801
01:14:27.920 --> 01:14:30.279
put it in write down on a
piece of paper and we put an Uncle

802
01:14:30.359 --> 01:14:33.399
card in it. We put that
in with the cassette and we return it

803
01:14:33.479 --> 01:14:38.279
back to the thrift store. So
if anybody is actually crazy enough to buy

804
01:14:38.319 --> 01:14:42.279
the tape again, they'll know what
Uncle raided and then find a website.

805
01:14:42.359 --> 01:14:45.840
They see it, they see the
cord, and then they'll go to They

806
01:14:45.920 --> 01:14:48.560
might go to the show. Go
to the show to push me for more

807
01:14:48.640 --> 01:14:51.920
customers. How about that for an
idea of getting customers. Uncle this is

808
01:14:53.039 --> 01:14:58.720
That's a nice idea, a very
smart Verice Moon idea. But listening to

809
01:14:58.880 --> 01:15:03.279
something on that I think is funny. Yeah, yeah, I mean it's

810
01:15:03.359 --> 01:15:11.720
something ruining experience. The first one
with the call was very learning experienced,

811
01:15:12.680 --> 01:15:15.560
final to figure out how to fix
corts. That really got to mind.

812
01:15:16.039 --> 01:15:20.840
Car factory, yeah, factor,
it's a video targeted at children. I

813
01:15:20.960 --> 01:15:24.119
wasn't sure if it was until it
started, but it certainly was. But

814
01:15:24.239 --> 01:15:27.039
it was inside a car factory and
it was cool. It was like inside

815
01:15:27.079 --> 01:15:30.760
of a Saturn factory. They're building
a Saturn car, if you remember that

816
01:15:30.960 --> 01:15:34.920
make of car. It was the
factory and you got to see the machines.

817
01:15:34.920 --> 01:15:39.000
There's a natter narrator telling you what's
going on. It was cool.

818
01:15:39.760 --> 01:15:44.399
We watched that. We watched the
country Line Dancing instructional video, which was

819
01:15:44.479 --> 01:15:48.159
a lot of fun. I did
some of that. You learned something,

820
01:15:48.199 --> 01:15:51.840
I know something, But I did
dance on that and did realize when I

821
01:15:51.960 --> 01:15:57.159
was wasn't it that you've done I
have done it? Then a few of

822
01:15:57.199 --> 01:16:00.520
them then I said, yes,
I did this before. Brought back memories.

823
01:16:00.600 --> 01:16:08.479
Yeah, but me and Chunky and
crazy Horse he uh, crazy Horse,

824
01:16:08.600 --> 01:16:11.960
he would go nuts, he would
do that. Yeah. Yeah,

825
01:16:12.079 --> 01:16:15.000
so we had we had the good
engagement in the chat. It was fun.

826
01:16:15.079 --> 01:16:17.399
It's fun. We're just it's like
you're saying around watching TV. Yeah,

827
01:16:17.960 --> 01:16:21.600
but you're doing it and and and
we're we're promoting the show where I'm

828
01:16:21.720 --> 01:16:26.199
fun, We're engaging the audience.
It's a good time. So we hope

829
01:16:26.279 --> 01:16:30.119
we can do it next Saturday too. It looks like Creative Creative Accents is

830
01:16:30.159 --> 01:16:32.039

now. Yeah, he's in there.

831
01:16:32.600 --> 01:16:34.920
So he was with us at the
ind of the day, So thank you

832
01:16:35.079 --> 01:16:41.319
Creative Accents for being there. It
was kind of fun sweating to the oldies

833
01:16:41.399 --> 01:16:45.159
place. Yeah, that would be
good if we could get an old Oh

834
01:16:45.439 --> 01:16:47.760
what's the guy's name, Richard Simmons. Yeah, that'd be a fun tape.

835
01:16:48.319 --> 01:16:53.119
Yes, that would be more exercise. Yeah, that would be hilarious.

836
01:16:53.359 --> 01:16:59.840
That he's a very good uh good
as he's entertaining edits him in his

837
01:17:00.399 --> 01:17:04.119
If I see that tape, I
want used to buy it, watch it,

838
01:17:04.760 --> 01:17:09.760
watch that, plug it out.
These is but the exercise, it

839
01:17:10.000 --> 01:17:13.479
was the way he gets you.
He inspires you. Yes, I want

840
01:17:13.520 --> 01:17:15.000
you need to get up and here
we are holding on to the things and

841
01:17:15.119 --> 01:17:21.760
how we're gonna have to do with
the dancing head look funny. His motivational

842
01:17:21.960 --> 01:17:29.000
style is it's entertaining. It's it's
it's undeniably entertaining. Richard Simmons, He's

843
01:17:29.000 --> 01:17:30.560
one of those guys that you like. When you think about me, you

844
01:17:30.760 --> 01:17:32.960
just go like, where did that
guy get to? He just kind of

845
01:17:33.000 --> 01:17:38.079
like disappeared. He was huge for
so long and I haven't seen him in

846
01:17:39.119 --> 01:17:42.560
a decade or so. I don't
remember last time I saw on TV.

847
01:17:42.720 --> 01:17:47.239
But he used to always be there. I was help. Everybody knows him

848
01:17:47.319 --> 01:17:50.640
that everybody of a certain age,
I mean the younger generation, I don't

849
01:17:50.680 --> 01:17:55.680
think too, but certainly old folk. To Oh and Sally Dalls back in

850
01:17:55.760 --> 01:17:58.640
the chest. She was with us
for the VHS watch Party. She's back.

851
01:17:59.640 --> 01:18:03.159
She said. The question is did
Richard Simmons have a headband or no

852
01:18:03.600 --> 01:18:09.359
head band? Wait a minute,
Uh, this is one of those mandolic

853
01:18:09.479 --> 01:18:13.920
questions. R. I don't think
so, but he did he? I

854
01:18:14.000 --> 01:18:17.039
don't think he did. But oh
no, so he did not wear a

855
01:18:17.079 --> 01:18:20.680
headband. Okay, that's only I. I don't remember him wearing a headband,

856
01:18:20.720 --> 01:18:27.359
although I feel like probably certain videos
he might have a headband on.

857
01:18:27.840 --> 01:18:32.079
Did had some and some didn't.
It's depending on which ones you've been watching.

858
01:18:32.359 --> 01:18:35.439
That seems right to me. But
yeah, I didn't realize that was

859
01:18:35.520 --> 01:18:43.880
one of those issues. That's funny
they're dropping Richard Simmons images in the Ochli

860
01:18:43.960 --> 01:18:49.239
dot com chats or doing that.
Uh. And Chuck is asking what happened

861
01:18:49.279 --> 01:18:54.399
to the lady named Susan Powers.
I'm not sure who that is, but

862
01:18:55.159 --> 01:19:00.960
probably the same thing that happened to
Richard Simmons. I can only imagine Suzanne

863
01:19:00.000 --> 01:19:03.039
Powers really quickly because I got to
step away from the screen for a minute.

864
01:19:03.079 --> 01:19:06.720
But Suzanne Powers was that lady that
used to scream stop the insanity with

865
01:19:06.800 --> 01:19:12.279
the really short blonde haircut, and
she used to do uh, infomercials about

866
01:19:12.319 --> 01:19:15.359
her her diet plan. You can
eat like fifty potatoes or whatever instead of

867
01:19:15.399 --> 01:19:23.800
a slice of cheese. Remember that. Yeah, that seems familiar exactly.

868
01:19:24.239 --> 01:19:28.479
So Richard Simmons had Sweating to the
Oldies and deal a Meal. That was

869
01:19:28.520 --> 01:19:30.960
his two things. Remember deal e
Meal. You have the deal Meal cards.

870
01:19:33.640 --> 01:19:36.760
I don't remember the meal thing.
I know the exercise stuff, I

871
01:19:36.800 --> 01:19:40.439
don't know the meal. No.
Dealer meal was like your diet plan.

872
01:19:40.560 --> 01:19:43.239
So you have these cards and you're
supposed to move them like from one side

873
01:19:43.279 --> 01:19:46.319
of a wallet to the other or
some some some such thing. And it

874
01:19:46.439 --> 01:19:48.840
was like you're you know, when
you're doing your sweating to the Oldies,

875
01:19:48.880 --> 01:19:53.479
you get your deal a meal and
you put it together. You know that

876
01:19:54.439 --> 01:19:58.640
Sally Doll is saying that this Susanne
whatever her name was, was so cool

877
01:19:58.760 --> 01:20:00.920
as what she's saying. Yeah,
she had she had the shortest haircut I've

878
01:20:00.920 --> 01:20:03.680
ever seen on a woman on television, like up to that point for sure,

879
01:20:04.279 --> 01:20:10.000
she says, shaved platinum blonde.
She was like five hundred pounds and

880
01:20:10.159 --> 01:20:15.159
lost a craft ton of weight.
Yeah, from his exercise that he is

881
01:20:15.319 --> 01:20:19.560
one with the posting make an exercise
and pussing his weight and wants to lose

882
01:20:19.640 --> 01:20:26.039
weight. That she he pushed them
too, Simmons. Simmons pushes it.

883
01:20:26.479 --> 01:20:30.119
I mean I watched him on the
TV show and I see now he pushes

884
01:20:30.199 --> 01:20:32.880
this. Yeah, he too had
struggled with weighting in the past, so

885
01:20:33.119 --> 01:20:36.800
exercising and then I remember one of
his things was he would be like he

886
01:20:36.880 --> 01:20:42.720
get really emotional with people who were
current like women who are currently overweight,

887
01:20:43.079 --> 01:20:45.079
and be like, they get all
emotional and be like here he had to

888
01:20:45.159 --> 01:20:47.600
hug them and be like, it's
okay, we can do this, like

889
01:20:47.760 --> 01:20:50.560
you're strong, blah blah blah blah, It's gonna be all right. And

890
01:20:50.680 --> 01:20:54.279
like, I remember him doing that
a lot. I remember that being his

891
01:20:54.439 --> 01:20:58.159
thing. And yeah, I mean, if hey, I'm not gonna sit

892
01:20:58.239 --> 01:21:01.199
here and say, don't change your
life for the better, how could I

893
01:21:02.640 --> 01:21:05.439
powder? Powder? Okay? I
thought it was power, but powder.

894
01:21:05.600 --> 01:21:11.920
Okay, fine. They put a
picture of her. That's even better powder.

895
01:21:12.439 --> 01:21:15.640
They put a picture of her in
the chat room there sore. Oh

896
01:21:15.720 --> 01:21:18.000
okay, let's go to the Chilly
dot com chat let's see. Oh wow,

897
01:21:18.119 --> 01:21:21.199
okay, And I just grabbed Richard
Simmons with a headband by the way,

898
01:21:21.279 --> 01:21:26.239
so just to show you stop the
insanity, I do remember I remember

899
01:21:26.479 --> 01:21:32.319
holding her hands to her head like
that. Exactly. Can you see that.

900
01:21:32.479 --> 01:21:35.319
I'll hold a little the hands to
the head like that. She'd be

901
01:21:35.399 --> 01:21:41.439
on three o'clock in the morning on
broadcast TV. It would be like and

902
01:21:41.560 --> 01:21:45.079
then the next thing would be like
ron Pa Peel's Pocket Fisherman or whatever.

903
01:21:46.439 --> 01:21:51.159
Ron Co, Yeah, Ronco exactly
the best brand there is. I can't

904
01:21:51.199 --> 01:21:57.359
think of a better one. Insanity. Oh yeah, I can see it

905
01:21:57.520 --> 01:22:01.600
is not like familiar, man.
I guarantee if I search it on YouTube,

906
01:22:01.680 --> 01:22:06.560
somebody's got like retro crazy commercials like
with her on it. I guarantee

907
01:22:06.560 --> 01:22:12.079
it if I look, oh yeah, oh yeah, Sally saying, oh

908
01:22:12.199 --> 01:22:17.800
yeah, I watched that too.
Ye yeah, hey yeah. The Ronca

909
01:22:17.920 --> 01:22:20.520
stuff set it and forget it.
I mean, he's got a lot of

910
01:22:20.600 --> 01:22:25.760
classics, you gotta you got a
lot of ron pop piol Who do we

911
01:22:25.800 --> 01:22:28.960
get on the line yet? I
don't think we have any body hand the

912
01:22:29.000 --> 01:22:34.199
line. Nobody yet. That's an
image of shock. Oh it's like a

913
01:22:34.279 --> 01:22:40.800
statue or something. You got a
check a statue. Now, Well,

914
01:22:40.880 --> 01:22:43.119
what I was gonna say is,
you know, you should probably get an

915
01:22:43.159 --> 01:22:45.439
Uncle avatar like that, because there's
an avatar maker. Well, you're an

916
01:22:45.520 --> 01:22:48.840
artist, so you could do it
yourself. But you take a picture of

917
01:22:48.960 --> 01:22:54.000
Uncle and you can make him into
a statue or an emo guy or whatever.

918
01:22:54.119 --> 01:22:57.560
You can make him into the joker, you know, like with one

919
01:22:57.640 --> 01:23:00.119
click, you just feed the picture
in. Got it that? That's what

920
01:23:00.279 --> 01:23:02.680
I got that from. I can't
do art like that, you know that.

921
01:23:02.800 --> 01:23:06.680
I mean that's pretty yeah, it's
pretty good. Good image. This

922
01:23:06.920 --> 01:23:11.600
is uh I think this is Susanne
powder right here? Oh god, sorry,

923
01:23:11.640 --> 01:23:14.159
hold on it. They put a
commercial on top of the commercial.

924
01:23:14.199 --> 01:23:17.119
I'm trying to play, Yeah,
commercials on commercials, so I'm going to

925
01:23:17.159 --> 01:23:20.640
play on YouTube. But they got
to give me another commercial for you.

926
01:23:23.399 --> 01:23:27.960
Anyway, Let's see what we could
do. Skip ed okay. Her name

927
01:23:28.119 --> 01:23:32.960
is Susan, a woman whose own
disappointing experiences with the diet and fitness industry.

928
01:23:33.439 --> 01:23:38.199
Let us you discover the truth.
It take you can. I'm becoming

929
01:23:38.399 --> 01:23:43.399
lean, strong and healthy. Thousands
have heard her message, and now you

930
01:23:43.680 --> 01:24:00.039
can too. It's time to take
It's time to stop the insanity. I

931
01:24:00.079 --> 01:24:03.880
can wait five six, seven,
eight breath, Come on, let's breath.

932
01:24:04.560 --> 01:24:09.800
Want you a free preath with me? Please, let's break agree,

933
01:24:12.560 --> 01:24:15.239
It's all like, put this together
for a moment. Just let me give

934
01:24:15.279 --> 01:24:20.000
me a moment. I have to
say, all right, not about dieting.

935
01:24:20.560 --> 01:24:25.520
It's a program that will change your
life, any age, any weight.

936
01:24:26.199 --> 01:24:30.560
Stop. The insanity makes it possible. I had to play it for

937
01:24:30.680 --> 01:24:34.920
you. The insanity, Okay,
I was. I was trying to find

938
01:24:34.920 --> 01:24:38.279
her really quick, scanning to see
if I could get her screaming it.

939
01:24:38.399 --> 01:24:41.239
But because you used to screaming,
like great, you can hear her screaming

940
01:24:41.319 --> 01:24:44.920
doing her live thing in front of
people. It just so happens that that

941
01:24:45.079 --> 01:24:46.880
seminar was held in Dallas, Texas, by the way, So I was

942
01:24:46.920 --> 01:24:49.600
just cracking. All right, great, anyway, I'm gonna I'm gonna put

943
01:24:49.600 --> 01:24:53.479
the link in the chat room.
If somebody else wants to scan this like

944
01:24:53.600 --> 01:24:58.800
full infomercial, they can do it. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Hey,

945
01:24:58.960 --> 01:25:01.000
if that was on a VHS tape, I grab it and watch that

946
01:25:01.159 --> 01:25:03.760
too, exactly. Any of this. This is the sort of stuff I'm

947
01:25:03.760 --> 01:25:08.000
looking for. I'm not wanting to
grab like a full movie, like just

948
01:25:08.119 --> 01:25:12.760
some old movie we watch a whole
movie it's like the kind of more the

949
01:25:12.880 --> 01:25:19.560
different special interest kind of VHS things, and like the informative non fiction uh,

950
01:25:19.800 --> 01:25:26.239
and just bizarre whatever we run into, honestly, and things that are

951
01:25:26.560 --> 01:25:30.279
also be less likely to be copyright
violations and things like that, not that

952
01:25:30.399 --> 01:25:34.159
they can't be, because remember the
warnings we were given at the start of

953
01:25:34.199 --> 01:25:39.600
those tapes. Uncle it told us
like there were severe criminal penalties for Yeah,

954
01:25:39.640 --> 01:25:42.640
I was afraid of those. I
don't feel like to have them in

955
01:25:42.760 --> 01:25:45.239
that and he had to have that. We took a chance, though.

956
01:25:45.439 --> 01:25:47.960
We took the chance, and like
I said, I'm gonna keep doing it

957
01:25:48.079 --> 01:25:55.279
till we get to see some desist
from this square dance instructors attorneys? Why

958
01:25:55.359 --> 01:25:59.399
did the tourneys will be about a
tape? Like I don't understand, Yeah,

959
01:25:59.399 --> 01:26:01.000
exactly, I don't. No,
I'm guessing they won't. The tape

960
01:26:01.119 --> 01:26:05.000
was made in like nineteen ninety two, so they really care that much about

961
01:26:05.079 --> 01:26:09.880
it still, Like I don't know, I would imagine the answers no,

962
01:26:10.680 --> 01:26:14.479
but hey, maybe we'll be unpleasantly
surprised if we are, fine, I'll

963
01:26:14.520 --> 01:26:16.960
just take the video down. So
what We'll just make another Only you mean

964
01:26:17.239 --> 01:26:21.199
you mean differently to put it on
and then they look at it. We

965
01:26:21.680 --> 01:26:28.319
are talking about the exciting realm of
intellectual property law. Uncle, I just

966
01:26:28.479 --> 01:26:31.760
I didn't know that was involved in
this. It always is when we're making

967
01:26:31.840 --> 01:26:36.600
media. We have to always be
mindful of these things. But it can

968
01:26:36.680 --> 01:26:41.000
be fun. It can be fun
even if we're making a joke out of

969
01:26:41.039 --> 01:26:45.479
it, which I think that we
have the way to do. Again,

970
01:26:45.520 --> 01:26:50.640
I'm not scared by making YouTube videos
where we're watching country line dancing instruction.

971
01:26:50.880 --> 01:26:55.720
Just don't when we're in the mint
of something and something like a layer comes

972
01:26:55.800 --> 01:26:59.000
up, what do you do?
I'm scared. I'll take care of that,

973
01:26:59.159 --> 01:27:02.560
uncle, don't worry. WHOA all
right? Any such wrongs and should

974
01:27:02.600 --> 01:27:10.079
they arise? Let's see Sally Doll
says stuff that won't be copyright claimed.

975
01:27:10.119 --> 01:27:13.560
Yeah, yeah, that's that's exactly
had. Late Late night PBS was the

976
01:27:13.640 --> 01:27:16.760
best. She also said, So
I guess late night PBS had. Yeah.

977
01:27:16.800 --> 01:27:23.600
I remember personally. I remember watching
the USA cable network. It was

978
01:27:24.039 --> 01:27:27.720
USA the channel. I remember if
you had watched that at like three or

979
01:27:27.760 --> 01:27:30.520
four am, it got pretty weird. Like I remember waking up for some

980
01:27:30.800 --> 01:27:34.520
job I had when I was younger, and I happened to turn the TV

981
01:27:34.640 --> 01:27:36.960
on that and I can't remember what
was even on there, but I was

982
01:27:36.960 --> 01:27:41.640
like, what the hell is going
on on USA TV at this hour?

983
01:27:41.800 --> 01:27:45.279
Like I didn't realize it was like
this that it's slipping my memory. All

984
01:27:45.319 --> 01:27:50.720
I remember is it was really bizarre. So a late night programming got different.

985
01:27:50.880 --> 01:27:55.319
It was a different, different stuff
that they would air. Uncle.

986
01:27:56.359 --> 01:28:01.840
Yeah, I'm sure you have memories
of that sort of stuff TV. Uncle.

987
01:28:01.880 --> 01:28:10.560
People can call in calling people the
number three one nine seven five zero

988
01:28:10.640 --> 01:28:14.720
one six. I can't too much
talk in case I lost Jack and what

989
01:28:14.840 --> 01:28:17.000
I'm talking about? What are we
talking about them? I don't know.

990
01:28:19.920 --> 01:28:25.920
I need I talk to get me. Do you want to talk about your

991
01:28:25.960 --> 01:28:30.560
shirt? Do I mention that?
Oh? Yeah, I was gonna put

992
01:28:30.640 --> 01:28:34.960
this online, Yeah, to show
people they got this crazy shit. It's

993
01:28:35.039 --> 01:28:39.840
crazy. So we have to put
this online as I show it. Yeah,

994
01:28:39.840 --> 01:28:42.239
I could put the camera on it
right now about you know here,

995
01:28:42.239 --> 01:28:45.399
we're doing some special camera work.
Check this out. Everybody can get on

996
01:28:45.640 --> 01:28:50.640
with the microphone. Okay, so
as you can see, this is Chuck's

997
01:28:50.680 --> 01:28:56.920
own design. Oh gosh, we're
getting crazy. So this is Chuck's well,

998
01:28:57.119 --> 01:29:01.680
my design and well it was a
collaborative project between Chuck and myself the

999
01:29:01.840 --> 01:29:10.079
artwork. But it is an MST

call it that we started it actually on

1002
01:29:17.880 --> 01:29:24.560
my new evolution. I play the
music on a new evolution. That's when

1003
01:29:24.640 --> 01:29:29.840
one evolution comes up. That will
be only my show. He won't have

1004
01:29:30.039 --> 01:29:34.359
his show because mine's a very long
show. Yes, on that, I

1005
01:29:34.479 --> 01:29:38.159
know you're talking about the New Year's
shows four hours long. Yeah, the

1006
01:29:38.199 --> 01:29:41.680
full hour show, the long show, yeah, and until you right out

1007
01:29:41.720 --> 01:29:44.000
of it. Do you want to
play some punk songs on it? Is

1008
01:29:44.039 --> 01:29:45.359
that what you're saying? We could
because we'll have the guitar. We do

1009
01:29:45.439 --> 01:29:48.600
a special guitar intro and all that. So maybe we could do some punk

1010
01:29:48.680 --> 01:29:54.560
songs if you want this year and
this year and we'll do some. I

1011
01:29:54.600 --> 01:29:58.760
would like to play some special little
clips and stuff for the show this year.

1012
01:30:00.039 --> 01:30:03.399
What is Uncle dressing up as for
Halloween? Do you have a costume?

1013
01:30:04.159 --> 01:30:09.399
No? Just look like this,
Yeah, I think wearing this shirt.

1014
01:30:09.720 --> 01:30:13.800
The shirt if you wear that out
in front of the house and you

1015
01:30:13.840 --> 01:30:15.800
give out candy. I think that's
crazy enough. That is crazy enough.

1016
01:30:15.880 --> 01:30:23.520
They just look at the shoot yeah
they you here you oh yeah, yeah,

1017
01:30:23.520 --> 01:30:27.359
you're gonna do the mohawk. Yeah, that was doing issue in the

1018
01:30:27.439 --> 01:30:34.520
back. That would be cool.
Shoot Creams striped Cream. Creative Accents is

1019
01:30:34.560 --> 01:30:36.800
saying that he has that shirt too. Yeah, I know he has,

1020
01:30:38.079 --> 01:30:44.039
so Chuck made the shirt. He's
going to give them out at Dallas for

1021
01:30:44.119 --> 01:30:46.319
anybody who's going to that. He's
gonna have some for if anybody shows up

1022
01:30:46.359 --> 01:30:48.800
to that, you could have that
shirt too. He's kind of bring on.

1023
01:30:49.000 --> 01:30:56.640
So just a handful of those plus
uh, Aaron's DVDs, Aaron's book,

1024
01:30:57.319 --> 01:31:00.399
right, a couple of a couple
of baseball hats still left too,

1025
01:31:00.640 --> 01:31:05.359
and uh yeah, and there's a
couple of mousepads which have combined a bunch

1026
01:31:05.359 --> 01:31:10.680
of shows on them. I wouldn't
get a mouthpad for this. Yeah,

1027
01:31:10.800 --> 01:31:15.640
mousepad is actually handy. Yeah,
you know it would be a mouse pad

1028
01:31:15.920 --> 01:31:18.199
that that nine on the front would
be a great design for a mousepad.

1029
01:31:19.119 --> 01:31:24.760
Oh the ms, Yeah, that
would be good. Yeah, going to

1030
01:31:24.840 --> 01:31:28.119
say to get one mouse pad from
him. I think it'd be funny if

1031
01:31:28.159 --> 01:31:31.319
it says something punkish like this mouse
pad or something like that, we could

1032
01:31:31.319 --> 01:31:35.439
write on there or something like this
is something stupid like that would be something

1033
01:31:35.600 --> 01:31:41.840
stupid, something funny. Yeah,
it was something funny. Yeah. Just

1034
01:31:41.880 --> 01:31:47.479
because I'm a mousepad doesn't mean I'm
cheesy, Yeah exactly. Or you can

1035
01:31:47.560 --> 01:31:50.039
just put on it, you know, like just steal the slogan from Chester

1036
01:31:50.159 --> 01:31:58.119
Cheetah. It ain't easy being cheesy. Easy being cheesy. Oh I had

1037
01:31:58.239 --> 01:32:02.680
Chester Cheetah. Yeah, I remember
that, and I wash there was a

1038
01:32:02.800 --> 01:32:06.640
Chester sheet of VHS tape and it
probably is. I think there is.

1039
01:32:08.720 --> 01:32:12.479
I wouldn't doubt it. I'm sure
that there was some kind of weird because

1040
01:32:12.640 --> 01:32:15.960
there was that time when they started
turning all the corporate logos into stuff.

1041
01:32:15.000 --> 01:32:17.840
They even made that which, by
the way, it's an expensive game now

1042
01:32:17.840 --> 01:32:21.479
if you try and get the seven
up spotpot Yeah yeah, yeah, I

1043
01:32:21.600 --> 01:32:29.520
have that on the computer and I
remember renting that from the video rental shop

1044
01:32:29.960 --> 01:32:31.800
when I was a kid. I
rented Spot and I really liked it.

1045
01:32:32.199 --> 01:32:36.680
That game is great. The animation
in that is top notch for the time,

1046
01:32:36.880 --> 01:32:41.720
and it wasn't very popular, but
it is now like this sought after

1047
01:32:41.800 --> 01:32:45.760
collector's item like the cartridge and everything. Yeah, yeah, it is.

1048
01:32:45.880 --> 01:32:47.000
Yeah, it was a rare game, you know, but it's it's a

1049
01:32:47.720 --> 01:32:51.479
it's a good game. And yeah, art art wise and animation wise,

1050
01:32:53.239 --> 01:32:58.359
it's it's great. It's similar to
Earthworm Gym was really good with the cartoon

1051
01:32:58.439 --> 01:33:01.520
animation on Superintent know like that.
Those are two games that pop out to

1052
01:33:01.600 --> 01:33:04.720
me. Like Spot was on n
e s though, which made it even

1053
01:33:04.760 --> 01:33:10.159
weirder. They had a Super Nintendo
one, did did they make They made

1054
01:33:10.159 --> 01:33:13.600
a Nintendo one too. I think
it was on several platforms or they made

1055
01:33:13.680 --> 01:33:15.279
different versions. I think they might
have a game Boy one too. I

1056
01:33:15.319 --> 01:33:17.680
don't know. I don't have to
look it up then because I only I

1057
01:33:17.840 --> 01:33:21.600
remember then e S one only,
so maybe I wasn't aware they made one

1058
01:33:21.640 --> 01:33:26.760
for Super There was Super Nintendo and
Genesis version. That's the one that I'm

1059
01:33:26.960 --> 01:33:31.520
most familiar with. Yeah, I
don't know, so that's that's the way

1060
01:33:31.600 --> 01:33:36.239
those things go, though, they're
there when they were transitioning from the Nintendo

1061
01:33:36.439 --> 01:33:40.920
to the Super Nintendo. There are
a couple of titles that crossed over that

1062
01:33:41.000 --> 01:33:45.520
they would do a version for both, and usually like the Nintendo version was

1063
01:33:45.600 --> 01:33:47.960
just a not as good version of
the Super Nintendo game. Well, there's

1064
01:33:47.960 --> 01:33:51.000
a couple of games like that.
Yeah, the Spot game comes up as

1065
01:33:51.119 --> 01:33:57.960
an n E S game. Really
yeah, okay, I don't know.

1066
01:33:58.279 --> 01:34:00.319
Wow, that's crazy. They're actually
kind of cheap here on some of these

1067
01:34:00.359 --> 01:34:04.199
websites are advertising on eBay. Oh
it's eBay. Okay. eBay has a

1068
01:34:04.359 --> 01:34:10.399
vintage Nintendo NES seven up Spot in
the video game cartridge, tested only thirteen

1069
01:34:10.720 --> 01:34:15.119
forty nine. It's not bad.
It's not bad at all. It's pretty

1070
01:34:15.119 --> 01:34:16.960
good. Yeah, let's see.
Oh, here's one that's factory sealed.

1071
01:34:17.479 --> 01:34:19.920
Oh yeah, okay, here we
go. A factory sealed one goes for

1072
01:34:19.960 --> 01:34:25.920
two hundred and forty nine dollars.
Okay, yeah, yeah, that's the

1073
01:34:26.000 --> 01:34:30.159
collective one. There you go.
Okay, Yeah, I'm looking here.

1074
01:34:30.239 --> 01:34:34.840
Yeah it looks like any as game. Yeah, I know there's a Super

1075
01:34:34.920 --> 01:34:40.760
Nintendo game too. I guarantee it. I guarantee it. Okay, I

1076
01:34:40.880 --> 01:34:45.399
mean I see a playthrough on YouTube. Cool Spot Here we'll go to the

1077
01:34:45.439 --> 01:34:48.560
Wikipedia page. Real Fast. Cool
Spot is the nineteen ninety three platform game

1078
01:34:48.640 --> 01:34:55.960
developed by Virgin Games USA for Mega
Drive Genesis, Super Nintendo entertainment system.

1079
01:34:56.039 --> 01:34:59.439
Also, yes, there it is. Okay, so they did develop it

1080
01:34:59.479 --> 01:35:02.560
for Super New Intendo as well.
Alrighty, I did not know that.

1081
01:35:03.359 --> 01:35:08.039
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I
know that one for sure. But then

1082
01:35:08.159 --> 01:35:11.520
when they released it in ninety three, was then was the Super Nintendo available

1083
01:35:11.600 --> 01:35:15.439
yet? Yes? I forget what
year I think, so I forget it

1084
01:35:15.560 --> 01:35:21.880
was right around that time that let's
say ninety ninety one, nineteen ninety,

1085
01:35:23.239 --> 01:35:26.399
right around ninety or ninety one,
I want to say, the Super Nintendo

1086
01:35:26.800 --> 01:35:30.119
came out. Let's see it like
that. Okay, Super Endia sixteen bit

1087
01:35:30.159 --> 01:35:34.560
home video game console developed by Nintendo
that was released in nineteen ninety in Japan

1088
01:35:35.560 --> 01:35:40.560
and Korea, ninety one in North
America, ninety one in North America,

1089
01:35:40.640 --> 01:35:45.039
ninety two in Europe in Oceania okay, yeah, and ninety three in South

1090
01:35:45.079 --> 01:35:51.800
America. So there you okay,
all right, yeah, yeah, the

1091
01:35:51.880 --> 01:35:56.960
Super Nintendo is good. These booms
seem to be quiet tonight. The phones

1092
01:35:57.039 --> 01:36:00.640
are quiet. Nobody's calling, in
which means we got plenty of open lines.

1093
01:36:00.680 --> 01:36:02.920
People. Uh so three one nine, five, two seven, five

1094
01:36:03.079 --> 01:36:06.359
zero one six. You can jump
in and talk to uncle. You can

1095
01:36:06.399 --> 01:36:10.199
talk video games, or we can
talk comedy or whatever else you want,

1096
01:36:10.600 --> 01:36:15.079
go for it, please, please
do Okay, we need this, we

1097
01:36:15.199 --> 01:36:18.279
need callers. We don't know what
to do with ourselves. I can't know

1098
01:36:18.399 --> 01:36:23.640
what to talk. I can't talk
right now. I named my color not

1099
01:36:24.199 --> 01:36:28.960
to know what to do next.
I'm in the problem. When the clothes

1100
01:36:29.039 --> 01:36:32.159
speak, we talked, well,
we were talking about baseball before we went

1101
01:36:32.199 --> 01:36:36.880
to air, because the playoffs are
happening right. Well, yeah, we

1102
01:36:36.960 --> 01:36:43.520
were playing. We're doing that.
But look look what happened now. Now,

1103
01:36:45.000 --> 01:36:49.800
the Dogies they knew they didn't have
the pitching staff. I don't know

1104
01:36:49.920 --> 01:36:55.640
how they got up there and fast, but they went first. Well now,

1105
01:36:56.119 --> 01:37:02.439
yeah, sure the last scene not
this year for the Dodgers happened because

1106
01:37:02.479 --> 01:37:08.119
they were looking for the pitches.
The pictures Philadelphia Phillies are there. Hey,

1107
01:37:08.319 --> 01:37:12.680
But looking at how the Phillies came
back and they took care of my

1108
01:37:12.880 --> 01:37:15.000
Braves. Finally got mead to those. Yes, I always liked it when

1109
01:37:15.000 --> 01:37:23.520
they beat the Braves. Hated and
just didn't like them. Yeah, with

1110
01:37:23.640 --> 01:37:26.840
them, I never did like age. If you're a Phillies fan, you

1111
01:37:26.920 --> 01:37:30.640
definitely don't like the Braves being the
divisional rival. That's for sure. Yeah.

1112
01:37:30.640 --> 01:37:33.920
I remember watching the Phillies on TV
back in the nineties and the Braves

1113
01:37:34.000 --> 01:37:39.359
were always like the adversary team more
than any other team, and I didn't.

1114
01:37:41.279 --> 01:37:44.359
Yeah that's the big one. Yeah, that's a big one. As

1115
01:37:44.600 --> 01:37:46.920
far as I can remember, Like
my memory is, the Braves was the

1116
01:37:47.000 --> 01:37:50.600
ones that take out. So they
did that. So that's good. And

1117
01:37:50.680 --> 01:37:57.079
now they're playing the Diamondbacks and they're
up through two in the series. It's

1118
01:37:57.119 --> 01:38:00.319
looking good for them. If they
can keep it up, they'll I think

1119
01:38:00.399 --> 01:38:05.159
they played. What time they are
they? Yeah, they got game saying

1120
01:38:05.159 --> 01:38:08.920
I got them on the phone.
I just looked up the Rangers and the

1121
01:38:09.399 --> 01:38:15.359
Astros are tied to three. Huh
tonight looks like it, it says today

1122
01:38:15.520 --> 01:38:19.520
Texas Rangers. Yeah, it says
MLB today. Good good. I don't

1123
01:38:19.640 --> 01:38:24.520
like to see did in Texas team
beat them? Yeah, yeah, it'd

1124
01:38:24.560 --> 01:38:29.239
be good. That'd be something.
Then we can watch a Wolf series without

1125
01:38:29.359 --> 01:38:33.800
watching them. I'll watch I'm watching
a Wolf Series game as long as they're

1126
01:38:33.840 --> 01:38:36.520
out of it. Well yeah,
I mean the World Series. I feel

1127
01:38:36.560 --> 01:38:42.680
like we always end up watching that, like the regular season of baseball.

1128
01:38:42.760 --> 01:38:45.520
I just I feel like it comes
it's like, oh cool, we should

1129
01:38:45.520 --> 01:38:49.319
go see a game in the park
sometime, and like maybe Angel games.

1130
01:38:49.560 --> 01:38:53.640
I just never end up watching one
on TV. I just don't do it.

1131
01:38:53.760 --> 01:38:58.079
And I like to watch them live. You like to watch them one,

1132
01:38:58.279 --> 01:39:01.640
you do not like to watch them
on a tube. This is what

1133
01:39:01.840 --> 01:39:06.720
I I would live to see a
hockey game, yeah, yeah, yeah,

1134
01:39:06.920 --> 01:39:13.840
and they will play that. They
were playing somebody tonight, actually the

1135
01:39:14.720 --> 01:39:17.640
the Ducks. The Ducks, they
were playing somebody good tonight. Yeah,

1136
01:39:18.720 --> 01:39:23.279
but you can get them in the
Ducks of the Rain, I think would

1137
01:39:23.319 --> 01:39:25.159
be good. Yeah, well,
we'll have to try and make it to

1138
01:39:25.239 --> 01:39:28.520
one of those sometimes. And then
yeah, I love seeing baseball live.

1139
01:39:28.640 --> 01:39:32.920
It's great. And then I just
I find I don't watch televised games until

1140
01:39:33.039 --> 01:39:38.640
the postseason. Then I'll start watching
some and ord series. Always watching Rangers

1141
01:39:38.680 --> 01:39:42.279
Astros is tomorrow night, I guess, uh, And then that'll be the

1142
01:39:42.359 --> 01:39:46.039
seventh that's the seventh game. That's
the seventh game tomorrow night, and then

1143
01:39:46.199 --> 01:39:51.399
they're gonna be in Texas. Then
see it's well it says Rangers Astros,

1144
01:39:51.439 --> 01:39:56.720
so that usually means that the Rangers
are at the Astros. Right, Yes,

1145
01:39:57.079 --> 01:40:00.159
wait a minute, they didn't play
two games there three games. It

1146
01:40:00.279 --> 01:40:03.399
sounds like they're in Houston from the
description the title that show, right,

1147
01:40:03.479 --> 01:40:08.079
Yeah, they list the Rangers first, so that to me means, yeah,

1148
01:40:08.399 --> 01:40:11.359
that the Rangers are playing at the
Astros because they back first, so

1149
01:40:11.439 --> 01:40:15.279
they're listed first, right, So
that's the way team home team that second,

1150
01:40:15.359 --> 01:40:19.960
right, So you know, unless
they change that too along with everything

1151
01:40:20.000 --> 01:40:24.239
else, I don't know. So
now it's time. Yeah, well so

1152
01:40:24.520 --> 01:40:28.960
Monday, Monday night, it'll be
three to three Game seven between the Astros

1153
01:40:29.000 --> 01:40:31.359
and the Rangers. In Game six
between the Diamondbacks and the Phillies on Tuesday,

1154
01:40:32.520 --> 01:40:38.279
right, so that's a Tuesday game
for the Phillies and Diamondbacks. Okay,

1155
01:40:38.359 --> 01:40:40.640
that'd be good to watch. They
we should watch. That would be

1156
01:40:41.199 --> 01:40:44.439
that I really enjoy watching. Well
we can if I got if if we

1157
01:40:44.560 --> 01:40:51.479
can get it, pv A pie, you know, pulled off your sons

1158
01:40:51.600 --> 01:40:57.199
games while maybe we'll be able to
watch them apia. Yeah and you know

1159
01:40:57.239 --> 01:41:01.399
what I mean? Yeah, I
usually I usually I'm just not watching TV

1160
01:41:01.560 --> 01:41:04.319
personally, and then somebody else is
like, they can watch TV. What

1161
01:41:04.399 --> 01:41:11.199
do I care for a baseball series
is only yeah you would want? Well,

1162
01:41:11.199 --> 01:41:17.399
it's getting serious now is time stop
playing the games for a few minutes

1163
01:41:17.399 --> 01:41:23.600
and the watch of baseball. So
the Diamondbacks will be at the Phillies home

1164
01:41:23.720 --> 01:41:27.800
stadium on Tuesday. Uh yeah,
eight o'clock, eight oh seven start.

1165
01:41:29.239 --> 01:41:34.000
Oh yeah, so the Phillies are
playing at home against the Diamondbacks. Go

1166
01:41:34.199 --> 01:41:43.319
good to deal with Philadelphia exactly.
The Diamondbacks used to have that good picture

1167
01:41:43.399 --> 01:41:46.359
though for me, who was it? I I just remember that they had

1168
01:41:46.399 --> 01:41:53.119
a good picture. But he came
from he came from the It's like Leander.

1169
01:41:53.199 --> 01:41:59.560
It wasn't him. Did they have
him? I don't know. He

1170
01:42:00.479 --> 01:42:06.000
came from San Francisco. And he
was a good batter too. Oh you're

1171
01:42:06.079 --> 01:42:13.359
talking about Oh yeah, I know
you mean, oh gosh, bum bum

1172
01:42:13.680 --> 01:42:18.159
bum guard. Right yeah, yeah, that's yeah, Okay, I'm going

1173
01:42:18.239 --> 01:42:20.720
I forgot he was on that team. He was on that team. The

1174
01:42:20.800 --> 01:42:25.000
only thing I regret about missing on
the playoffs this year is I got to

1175
01:42:25.079 --> 01:42:30.039
miss the the Yankees getting beat Huh
okay, finish those Yankees are finished.

1176
01:42:30.079 --> 01:42:39.600
I like watching the Yankees lose.
That's good. Always got to the Mets.

1177
01:42:40.800 --> 01:42:45.520
My cousin was looking to tell me, watch a message. What's the

1178
01:42:45.600 --> 01:42:50.319
message? Start watching the Mets and
they're starting falling apart. What the heck

1179
01:42:50.359 --> 01:42:55.000
am I watching here? He was
saying, we're not going to be watching

1180
01:42:55.039 --> 01:42:58.399
it no more as a guy,
as a guy who even to this day

1181
01:42:58.439 --> 01:43:00.680
still owns a couple of Mets.
Let me tell you something, maybe if

1182
01:43:00.920 --> 01:43:05.640
we want to be depressed, go
ahead watch the Mets. Okay. I

1183
01:43:06.199 --> 01:43:09.680
love that scene and Family Guy.
You ever see that in Family Guy with

1184
01:43:09.760 --> 01:43:15.720
Stewie Uncle. He goes, oh, this is worse than being a Mets

1185
01:43:15.800 --> 01:43:17.640
fan. And then they bring him
to the stadium real quick and he's got

1186
01:43:17.680 --> 01:43:21.319
a Mets hat on. They go, Welcome to Opening Day at Shay Stadium,

1187
01:43:23.039 --> 01:43:32.159
and the season's over. It's beautiful
anyway. At least other teams have

1188
01:43:32.319 --> 01:43:36.880
like peaks and troughs. The Phillies
definitely aren't like that. Yeah, they

1189
01:43:36.960 --> 01:43:41.880
actually get good every Yeah, Phillies
get good every couple of years. And

1190
01:43:42.000 --> 01:43:45.600
playing in that home stadium, there
is a home team home field advantage when

1191
01:43:45.640 --> 01:43:48.239
you when you play in Philly because
those fans are wild. I mean,

1192
01:43:48.479 --> 01:43:54.279
that's one of those I try to
tell people about that out here in California.

1193
01:43:54.319 --> 01:43:58.920
People don't realize out here how insane
it is in Philadelphia, especially when

1194
01:43:58.960 --> 01:44:01.760
it comes to press sports and how
crazy the fans are. They just don't

1195
01:44:01.800 --> 01:44:03.960
know that out here. I tell
them. I'm like, uh, the

1196
01:44:04.279 --> 01:44:10.279
Miami Philadelphia game this week, they
were talking about, yeah, Miami is

1197
01:44:10.319 --> 01:44:14.680
practicing. I'm like, yeah,
they're practicing taking uh full beer cans to

1198
01:44:14.800 --> 01:44:19.800
the face, because that's what they're
going to practice. Philadelphia. You know,

1199
01:44:19.840 --> 01:44:24.600
you gotta remember the Tri State area, we invented throwing D batteries at

1200
01:44:24.640 --> 01:44:29.600
players, you know what I'm saying, Like they did you remember the Mets

1201
01:44:29.880 --> 01:44:34.560
they were getting hit with D batteries. I mean, they really get and

1202
01:44:34.760 --> 01:44:41.000
flogged. These impias who say stop
throwing them in the stadium. It gets

1203
01:44:41.079 --> 01:44:46.039
crazy. I guarantee you going to
so many damn battery out of the coins

1204
01:44:46.960 --> 01:44:54.079
the videotape out there, they had
to stop a game because like the one

1205
01:44:54.199 --> 01:44:57.479
night, somebody threw a couple of
batteries right, so people got mad.

1206
01:44:57.680 --> 01:45:00.000
And then the next night so many
people came back with batteries. It was

1207
01:45:00.039 --> 01:45:04.199
like raining batteries in the outfre.
They had to stop a game. I

1208
01:45:04.319 --> 01:45:08.560
remember watching this game on TV and
I'm like, this is this just lovely

1209
01:45:08.720 --> 01:45:12.199
wonderful? Uh? And I was
just like what are they doing? And

1210
01:45:12.359 --> 01:45:17.560
the announcers like, I think they're
throwing D batteries and yeah, I remember

1211
01:45:17.600 --> 01:45:23.439
they had letting them change them.
Yeah, well that's what I'm supposed hard.

1212
01:45:23.640 --> 01:45:27.479
It's hard to stop. They couldn't
stop them doing one thing. They're

1213
01:45:27.479 --> 01:45:30.840
gonna do something. No, I
remember, I remember distinctly because it was

1214
01:45:30.960 --> 01:45:33.840
like a sports channel New York and
uh what was it. Keith Hernandez and

1215
01:45:34.199 --> 01:45:39.039
Ron Darling are sitting there trying to, you know, like be nice about

1216
01:45:39.039 --> 01:45:41.600
it, and they're like, I'm
not sure what they're throwing, and Keith

1217
01:45:41.600 --> 01:45:44.920
Hernandez is like, uh, it's
D batteries. Ron, come on,

1218
01:45:45.720 --> 01:45:50.479
you know they watching them and they
might have hit them on the heads.

1219
01:45:50.880 --> 01:46:00.600
But I got the helmets on.
You know, he outf exactly walk around

1220
01:46:00.640 --> 01:46:02.760
like John Olrud He used to he
used to wear the helmet in the in

1221
01:46:02.840 --> 01:46:09.079
the field, remember all root.
Yeah, well he had some head injury,

1222
01:46:09.239 --> 01:46:13.239
so he wore a helmet even when
he played first base. And it's

1223
01:46:13.279 --> 01:46:16.680
hilarious because you know, it's like, these guys need a veteran stadium.

1224
01:46:16.720 --> 01:46:19.960
That would be a wise choice all
the time. Yeah, and my my

1225
01:46:20.159 --> 01:46:25.960
uncle has great stories not just of
sporting events, but concerts. They's been

1226
01:46:26.000 --> 01:46:29.760
two and man, some of the
stuff that happens at venues in and around

1227
01:46:30.000 --> 01:46:34.239
Philadelphia, it's pretty wild. Well, another worst kept secret is Giant Stadium

1228
01:46:34.279 --> 01:46:40.159
because Giants fans are absolutely complete jerks. They're they're just absolute ers, and

1229
01:46:40.279 --> 01:46:44.279
they'll beat you up everything. You
know, don't show up a giant stadium

1230
01:46:44.319 --> 01:46:47.000
where in the other team's jersey,
you know what I mean? Not a

1231
01:46:47.079 --> 01:46:53.479
good idea. And that was a
lovely team with the Giants, though,

1232
01:46:54.600 --> 01:46:59.680
the would the Dodgers, right,
Oh you're talking you know, well I

1233
01:46:59.760 --> 01:47:01.680
was talking football there for a second. Oh oh yeah, because there's a

1234
01:47:01.840 --> 01:47:06.439
Giants base Yeah, that gets confusing
the football the football Giants the baseball Giants.

1235
01:47:06.479 --> 01:47:11.800
And that's what I was. No. At one point they were both

1236
01:47:11.840 --> 01:47:16.520
in New York, but not since
what nineteen sixty or something right somewhere in

1237
01:47:16.600 --> 01:47:21.239
there, we know when when California
got the Dodgers and the Giants, right,

1238
01:47:23.039 --> 01:47:29.760
you know too funny. All you
need to know about the attitude and

1239
01:47:29.960 --> 01:47:32.640
what you're gonna deal with when it
comes to Philadelphia sports fans, it's very

1240
01:47:32.760 --> 01:47:40.640
very simple. Take a look at
their hockey mascot gritty. So I gotta

1241
01:47:40.680 --> 01:47:44.600
know, look at gritty and tell
me what you think of. Tell me

1242
01:47:44.680 --> 01:47:49.319
any positive thought you have when you
look at gritty. Get on the name

1243
01:47:49.439 --> 01:47:56.319
too gritty. Have you seen gritty
uncle gritty thing? Oh it's good.

1244
01:47:56.399 --> 01:48:00.000
Oh you got to show Uncle gritty
you do think? So? It's idious

1245
01:48:00.159 --> 01:48:04.920
funny. It's completely insane. It
looks like it looks like a mascot went

1246
01:48:05.000 --> 01:48:11.680
completely insane. His jersey's dirty.
I mean, I'm serious. He's like

1247
01:48:11.800 --> 01:48:15.079
he looks messed up. It's like
it's like it's like somebody beat up mister

1248
01:48:15.199 --> 01:48:18.239
met and any and he liked it. You know what I'm saying. Like

1249
01:48:18.319 --> 01:48:21.079
he's got his eyes are all bulging
out of his head. I'm serious.

1250
01:48:21.079 --> 01:48:25.159
Show him gritty. Yeah, I'm
pulling. He got images up. Now

1251
01:48:25.479 --> 01:48:30.399
there he is. You see that's
Uncle Gritty Gritty. That's the Flyers mascot.

1252
01:48:31.119 --> 01:48:36.000
I never seen it. It is
clever. I it is clever for

1253
01:48:36.319 --> 01:48:43.119
for a Philadelphia teammate. It was
I know it, did see it till

1254
01:48:43.239 --> 01:48:45.600
now. It's funny. He got
it. He got it all right there

1255
01:48:45.640 --> 01:48:49.760
with Uncle's reaction to it. Oh, I mean, yeah, I see

1256
01:48:49.760 --> 01:48:53.960
it. I see and I see
the baseball guy. Yes, well,

1257
01:48:54.720 --> 01:48:59.039
yeah there is with the Philly financial
fanatic guy. I know him. Yeah,

1258
01:48:59.039 --> 01:49:02.199
everybody knows the finish Yeah, classic
man. That was the best,

1259
01:49:04.159 --> 01:49:06.800
believe the best mascot of all time. Well that's back when they were.

1260
01:49:06.840 --> 01:49:10.239
You know when they were it was
funny, it was like cute. It

1261
01:49:10.319 --> 01:49:12.439
was it was good for kids and
everything. You know. They had the

1262
01:49:13.479 --> 01:49:16.720
Philadelphia Fanatic and the what it was
it the San Diego Chicken. Those were

1263
01:49:16.760 --> 01:49:20.840
the two. Yeah, they were
I remember him, those were the two

1264
01:49:20.880 --> 01:49:27.439
past you remember the chicken. Yeah, mister met was just the guy with

1265
01:49:27.560 --> 01:49:30.880
a baseball for a head. Yeah, yeah, that was his head with

1266
01:49:30.000 --> 01:49:36.680
a baseball head. It works exactly. It's something no I like gritty though,

1267
01:49:36.800 --> 01:49:42.359
gritty as hilarious gritty. He just
looks crazy, funny. He looks

1268
01:49:42.399 --> 01:49:45.359
like a fan. But yeah,
yeah he was actually a fan. He

1269
01:49:45.439 --> 01:49:54.039
looks like a Philadelphia is a fan
standpoint of a mascot. He looks like

1270
01:49:54.119 --> 01:49:57.439
a fan that showed up to watch
the Flyer game. But here's the thing.

1271
01:49:57.520 --> 01:50:00.319
He actually showed up the day before
for the teen Nuja cut consert,

1272
01:50:00.439 --> 01:50:10.000
right, and he's been drinking everything
long time. Yeahouse, when it's supposed

1273
01:50:10.000 --> 01:50:13.840
to come. When are we supposed
to watch these hockey games? Yeah,

1274
01:50:14.079 --> 01:50:16.840
exactly, they watch the Flyers.
Uh, but the Ducks play the Flyers.

1275
01:50:17.840 --> 01:50:21.960
I don't know if they do.
I don't know how the conferences.

1276
01:50:23.079 --> 01:50:26.239
I don't know any of that.
With the NHL, it's it's confusing as

1277
01:50:26.279 --> 01:50:30.600
hell. I even used to look
at this schedule. Oh yeah, I

1278
01:50:30.680 --> 01:50:34.159
know that the schedule. I'll tell
you what, uncle, Look, you

1279
01:50:34.239 --> 01:50:38.239
can figure out the playoffs for almost
anything else. You tell me how the

1280
01:50:38.279 --> 01:50:41.880
playoffs work in hockey, please,
because I don't even understand it in hockey

1281
01:50:42.520 --> 01:50:45.800
hockey. I don't know the conferences. I don't know who plays who.

1282
01:50:45.960 --> 01:50:48.359
I don't know any I no idea. I would imagine the Ducks and the

1283
01:50:48.399 --> 01:50:51.279
Phillies won it because they're on the
opposite sides of the country. But I

1284
01:50:51.359 --> 01:51:00.680
don't know who ever gets uh stays
up on the top. That would be

1285
01:51:00.800 --> 01:51:05.960
that's who plays the other people on
this side of whoever was on that side.

1286
01:51:06.079 --> 01:51:09.840
I have to see it on.
What I have to do is I

1287
01:51:09.960 --> 01:51:13.720
have to see it on paper,
the sports page paper, and and I

1288
01:51:13.840 --> 01:51:17.880
can explain it. You look at
the grid, okay, but even so

1289
01:51:18.199 --> 01:51:21.359
you you I guarantee you won't be
able to tell me who's actually gonna make

1290
01:51:21.399 --> 01:51:25.920
it for like their version of the
wild card, forget it, because they

1291
01:51:26.000 --> 01:51:30.159
got they got like the Campbell Division. I gotta I gotta pull this up

1292
01:51:30.199 --> 01:51:33.159
because it's two point you gotta pull
it up. Ample divisions. Yeah,

1293
01:51:33.319 --> 01:51:36.000
games like that. Yeah, weird
like that? Hold on, yeah right

1294
01:51:36.079 --> 01:51:45.000
exactly, hockey as well, get
into this. I definitely don't know it.

1295
01:51:46.760 --> 01:51:53.960
NHL divisions you go, Okay,
divisions, all right, So where

1296
01:51:54.079 --> 01:52:00.640
are the divisions. Let's see the
NHL games news standings. Okay, NHL

1297
01:52:00.760 --> 01:52:03.000
divisions. Okay, Official site of
National Hockey League. Okay, you got

1298
01:52:03.039 --> 01:52:10.720
the Eastern Conference ESPN Complete NHL okay, Official Site of National Hockey all right.

1299
01:52:11.479 --> 01:52:15.399
Uh, you have the Metropolitan Conference
okay, and the Atlantic Team,

1300
01:52:16.239 --> 01:52:20.560
which are two subdivisions of the Eastern
Conference. Then you have the Western Conference

1301
01:52:20.640 --> 01:52:29.079
with the Central and Pacific and okay, they've simplified this. They have simplified

1302
01:52:29.159 --> 01:52:31.760
this. Yes, they have the
Metropolitan in Atlantic which are both part of

1303
01:52:31.800 --> 01:52:35.199
the Eastern, and then in the
West you have the Central and Pacific.

1304
01:52:36.239 --> 01:52:41.359
So they've actually made more sense out
of it with the expansions after the Ducks

1305
01:52:41.359 --> 01:52:44.479
and as that's what happened. Okay, yeah, man, and put the

1306
01:52:45.039 --> 01:52:50.079
expansions in and they changed it around. Okay, so the expansion team team,

1307
01:52:50.319 --> 01:52:56.319
yeah, but not before the more
recently, what the Vegas Golden Knights.

1308
01:52:56.560 --> 01:52:59.439
Okay, yes, the Laden Knights. They are the ones that win

1309
01:52:59.560 --> 01:53:02.960
it this past year. They've got
a lot of new Yeah, they won

1310
01:53:03.079 --> 01:53:09.079
it this past year that I do
know. Yeah, teams that I know

1311
01:53:09.199 --> 01:53:12.439
were not around when I was a
kid. Vegas Golden Knights, Okay,

1312
01:53:12.880 --> 01:53:19.000
the Nashville Predators, the Minnesota Wild
because I know there were North Stars and

1313
01:53:19.079 --> 01:53:24.119
now they have the Dallas Stars.
The Colorado Avalanche came after I was a

1314
01:53:24.199 --> 01:53:28.279
kid, for sure. The Anaheim
Ducks after the movie, right, yeah,

1315
01:53:28.399 --> 01:53:31.960
I remember that they used the same
cartoon from Disney and the original logo

1316
01:53:32.199 --> 01:53:36.520
with the purple, teal and black
kind of like a goalie mask, right

1317
01:53:38.039 --> 01:53:40.880
like, yeah, yeah, it
was a goalie mask made that looked like

1318
01:53:41.039 --> 01:53:45.840
Donald Duck. They cartoon goalie mask. The Arizona Coyotes I didn't even know

1319
01:53:45.960 --> 01:53:53.640
existed until I just looked now,
the Counties, the Coyotes. Have you

1320
01:53:53.880 --> 01:53:57.439
seen them play? I never even
heard of them before. Yeah, they've

1321
01:53:57.520 --> 01:54:02.399
got a they got a. Their
cooti logo is very Southwestern Native American kind

1322
01:54:02.439 --> 01:54:09.279
of looking imagery. The coyote I
remember, correct. The Florida Panthers,

1323
01:54:09.399 --> 01:54:12.560
I don't remember them existing. At
one point there was something called the lightning.

1324
01:54:12.800 --> 01:54:17.159
I thought in Florida. No lightning
is the lightning. There is the

1325
01:54:17.800 --> 01:54:25.600
blue and white, the Campa Bay. They're Tampa Bay. They were in

1326
01:54:25.640 --> 01:54:28.720
the playoffs. They were in the
playoffs a couple of years and won it.

1327
01:54:28.920 --> 01:54:31.159
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's
the Tampa Bay Lightning. They won,

1328
01:54:31.319 --> 01:54:34.720
right, they won it one time, but one time. They want

1329
01:54:34.920 --> 01:54:39.479
a couple of years back, well, which probably means seven, don't.

1330
01:54:39.760 --> 01:54:43.880
I don't even see a lightning anymore? Okay, really, yeah, I

1331
01:54:43.960 --> 01:54:45.319
see the Florida Panthers. This is
what I'm telling you. If I list

1332
01:54:45.399 --> 01:54:49.720
all these teams. The Carolina Hurricanes
is another team that didn't exist when I

1333
01:54:49.840 --> 01:54:55.640
was a kid. Okay. Oh. Columbus Blue Jackets. Yes, now

1334
01:54:55.720 --> 01:55:00.760

to school in Columbus Nation Hide Arena.

1335
01:55:00.960 --> 01:55:03.960
The Blue Jackets. Yes, it's
a very fascinating team name. I made

1336
01:55:04.000 --> 01:55:06.760
a little video about it, like
what the hell is a blue jacket?

1337
01:55:06.840 --> 01:55:11.600
And then I, oh, here's
about that. Yeah, here's the Tampa

1338
01:55:11.600 --> 01:55:15.560
Bay they exist. Yeah, I
have the video still Patreon. It is

1339
01:55:16.880 --> 01:55:20.359
you look at the Patreon people there

1340
01:55:20.439 --> 01:55:25.119
found it. Okay. I was
going to say, the lightning does exist.

1341
01:55:25.279 --> 01:55:29.079
That's the Tampa Lightning. Yeah,
Tampa Bay. You're right, Tampa

1342
01:55:29.119 --> 01:55:33.159
Bay, Tampa Bay Lightning. That
one it last but three years years ago?

1343
01:55:33.359 --> 01:55:36.039
Yeah, because it was Vegas last
year and then maybe it the year

1344
01:55:36.079 --> 01:55:41.359
before it was. I don't know, like I said, And there used

1345
01:55:41.359 --> 01:55:44.039
to be the North Stars. I
don't see the North Stars anymore, but

1346

is another that that places them. Yeah,

Davis Davis, David Jewish team.
Yes, the San Jose Sharks.

That was a newer team. But
that's all that's a new they're old now.

1349
01:55:59.319 --> 01:56:01.279
Yeah. Yeah, but like I
said, not when I was a

1350
01:56:01.359 --> 01:56:05.800
kid, when I was a kid
watching the Rangers, right, yeah,

1351
01:56:05.920 --> 01:56:09.439
I mean what what teams did they
get rid of? Too? I don't

1352

1376
01:58:14.640 --> 01:58:17.880
see when they have fights. Boy, you gotta watch real live. But

1377
01:58:18.079 --> 01:58:23.000
they have to fight. Sticks go
up, teams go in the wolves,

1378
01:58:23.399 --> 01:58:30.680

01:58:30.439 --> 01:58:36.359
right lambored them fighting and chopping and
going and I have to go in the

01:58:51.960 --> 01:58:56.119
movie. There's a couple of hockey
movies and nick game was trying to go

was it in Boston? It was in

1385
01:59:01.880 --> 01:59:06.640
It was in a Boston Boston team. They were in a game and they

1389
01:59:23.319 --> 01:59:30.880
blowing something. Incurity guy uh was
trying to get after him. I forgot.

1390
01:59:30.960 --> 01:59:33.880
The name of the movie was called
That's Hockey. It's in a hockey

1391
01:59:34.119 --> 01:59:39.520
or it wasn't in hockey meaning and
going crazy. It was I'm still in

1392
01:59:39.600 --> 01:59:45.520
an action movie. Sounds good,
ones, Uh? Was the Robert Redford

1393
01:59:45.560 --> 01:59:48.560
did a hockey movie. A bunch
of a bunch of famous actors have actually

1394
01:59:48.600 --> 01:59:51.680
done some weird hockey movies and stuff. Okay, So I looked it up

1395
01:59:51.800 --> 01:59:56.119
to see because I'm going with him. I having a Mandela episode here because

1396
01:59:56.159 --> 01:59:59.600
I'm saying to myself, why is
Central East? Those are sensible names for

1397
01:59:59.680 --> 02:00:02.239
hockey, right, No, see
in the nineteen eighties, these were the

1398
02:00:02.319 --> 02:00:10.359
divisions Aaron, the Patrick Division,
the Adams Division, the Norris Division,

1399
02:00:10.479 --> 02:00:15.239
and the Smythe Division. Those were
your four sets in the eighties. Okay,

1400
02:00:15.880 --> 02:00:17.199
That's what I was talking about when
I said, oh, they're named

1401
02:00:17.239 --> 02:00:21.479
like something weird, like specific names
there. It is Patrick, Adams,

1402
02:00:21.600 --> 02:00:27.920
and Norris and Smythe. Those were
the divisions full divisional names. Yeah,

1403
02:00:28.920 --> 02:00:31.399
I wish they didn't get rid of
those. That makes it fun. Yeah,

1404
02:00:31.560 --> 02:00:35.119
but they expanded, times changed,
times changed. They try to make

1405
02:00:35.239 --> 02:00:39.560
things, make some a little more
sense for people to be a little fall

1406
02:00:39.600 --> 02:00:44.840
along. So I guess that's not
a bad thing. That's common. Folks

1407
02:00:44.840 --> 02:00:48.720
who don't know much about hockey can

a minute here because it takes a

1425
02:02:13.039 --> 02:02:15.560
minute. I'm looking at the craziness. I just put a link in the

1426
02:02:15.640 --> 02:02:18.520
chat room though, about all these
like crazy uh machinations that the NHL went

1427
02:02:18.600 --> 02:02:23.520
through. And it's only twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, they finally, you

1428
02:02:23.600 --> 02:02:27.079
know, rearranged everything because there were
thirty one teams by then. But there's

1429
02:02:27.079 --> 02:02:30.680
all kinds of crazy stories in there. There's one I'm reading about it's like,

1430
02:02:30.800 --> 02:02:32.880
oh, well, this team played
six games and then they're they're Arina

1431
02:02:32.920 --> 02:02:38.720
burn down, uh like, oh
my gosh. And you know where it

1432
02:02:38.920 --> 02:02:43.800
was, right, It was in
Pittsburgh, So Pennsylvania. Yeah, there

1433
02:02:43.880 --> 02:02:47.279
was literally a hockey team called the
Pittsburgh Pirates, a hockey team. Really.

1434
02:02:47.359 --> 02:02:51.960
Yeah, they already had the Penguins, they had that was the Penguins.

1435
02:02:53.359 --> 02:02:57.840
That was the movie. That was
the team, not nineteen or what

1436
02:02:58.920 --> 02:03:05.039
the movie was about the penguins.
There was a Penguins and and the mascot

1437
02:03:05.279 --> 02:03:11.399
came out and he was he was
that he was a penguin. He was

1438
02:03:11.439 --> 02:03:15.159
a penguin should be and it was
a bad one. But they were going

1439
02:03:15.239 --> 02:03:18.359
in and and the little girl,
I now remembered it now, the little

1440
02:03:18.439 --> 02:03:26.279
girl, the little girl. He
was the guy that was working there handed

1441
02:03:26.279 --> 02:03:30.840
a little girl and and bad penguin
did something. And the bad penguin did

1442
02:03:30.960 --> 02:03:39.359
something, and and and and and
got into the machine and not the guys

1443
02:03:39.439 --> 02:03:44.439
down terrif. Yeah, I just
remembered the part of the movie now that

1444
02:03:44.600 --> 02:03:49.920
was there was a Penguins. It
was in Pittsburgh. Was where the where

1445
02:03:49.960 --> 02:03:58.600
the show was because Penguins Money with
You was was on a show was it

1446
02:03:58.720 --> 02:04:01.960
was a show about there's a show
about the penguins. The dad penguin and

1447
02:04:02.119 --> 02:04:06.960
they will go and they were playing
a hockey game. I forget who dance

1448
02:04:08.880 --> 02:04:14.640
It was in that stadium. Not
a penguin was doing stuff and they're in

1449
02:04:14.680 --> 02:04:17.680
the stadium. Yeah. Now there
was all kinds of other teams that came

1450
02:04:17.760 --> 02:04:20.319
and went because you got to realize
the NHL. A lot of people think

1451
02:04:20.359 --> 02:04:25.760
it only started a couple of years
ago, but I mean their official history

1452
02:04:25.800 --> 02:04:30.880
begins somewhere and it looks like nineteen
seventeen. So when they started back then,

1453
02:04:30.479 --> 02:04:33.119
there's a whole lot of crazy stuff
that went on where they had these

1454
02:04:33.159 --> 02:04:38.399
teams coming and going, and you
know, he had an Ottawa Senators back

1455
02:04:38.439 --> 02:04:44.319
then, in Montreal Maroons, New
York Americans they had at one point,

1456
02:04:44.800 --> 02:04:47.760
yeah, Pittsburgh Pirates. And it
turns out the Montreal Wanderers were the ones

1457
02:04:47.800 --> 02:04:53.880
that played six games in nineteen seventeen
and eighteen before withdrawing after their rink burn

1458
02:04:53.960 --> 02:04:58.600
down. That's what it is,
okay, And yeah, and then they

1459
02:04:58.640 --> 02:05:01.680
actually had a Canada Conference at one
point that was different. Yeah, it's

1460
02:05:01.680 --> 02:05:04.760
all kinds of crazy stuff. They
shuffled these teams around all over the place,

1461
02:05:05.239 --> 02:05:11.199
and teams came and went. The
Cleveland Barons, the Colorado Rockies were

1462
02:05:11.359 --> 02:05:15.319
created. I remember them. Yeah, the baseball's here. Yeah, yeah,

1463
02:05:15.439 --> 02:05:18.119
no, that's yeah, it is
a baseball team. But from ninety

1464
02:05:18.439 --> 02:05:23.800
yeah, but from seventy six ninety
two, that's a new new one.

1465
02:05:24.359 --> 02:05:29.279
Well, baseball expansion. It's Banshie
t nineties. That was a ninety two.

1466
02:05:29.399 --> 02:05:30.399
Remember, yeah, that was a
ninety two. I remember that's when

1467
02:05:30.439 --> 02:05:34.159
the Marlins came in. Mar Yeah, they selling. Marlins came out,

1468
02:05:34.680 --> 02:05:39.319
but in all the mains came.
Yeah. But from nineteen seventy six to

1469
02:05:39.439 --> 02:05:45.359
nineteen eighty two, Colorado Rockies were
hockey team. Oh the Quebec Nordeks.

1470
02:05:45.439 --> 02:05:49.920
There's a team that's not around it
anymore. Tampa Bay Lightning started in nineteen

1471
02:05:50.000 --> 02:05:55.279
ninety two, Ottawa Senators started in
nineteen ninety two. Says okay, Yeah,

1472
02:05:55.319 --> 02:05:58.039
there's a whole bunch of these on
here, the different things, crazy

1473
02:05:58.039 --> 02:06:00.000
stuff that happened, teams that came
and went. It's just it's wild to

1474
02:06:00.039 --> 02:06:04.640
look at it. You know,
I'm exciting NHL history, Uncle, greet

1475
02:06:04.760 --> 02:06:08.760
up on it. The link is
at the ohl dot com chattering man put

1476
02:06:08.800 --> 02:06:13.039
it in this. I'm looking at
your international people, and to tell you

1477
02:06:13.039 --> 02:06:16.039
the truth, it's a little like
tonight, uncle, Yeah, all you

1478
02:06:16.199 --> 02:06:21.960
got is Australia and Mexico. Outside
of the US. Oh my god,

1479
02:06:23.159 --> 02:06:29.399
what's going on? People? Everybody
watching the Dolphins and the you know,

1480
02:06:29.479 --> 02:06:30.880
we're saying they're talking, they're not
doing that. Now then I don't know

1481
02:06:30.960 --> 02:06:34.079
what they're doing. They don't have
an excuse anymore. We're talking to hockey

1482
02:06:34.119 --> 02:06:38.800
and there's no Canadians on here.
What's going on? Yeah, that's surprising.

1483
02:06:38.920 --> 02:06:43.359
You know what's surprising. We're talking
this and I'm surprised they haven't jumped

1484
02:06:43.399 --> 02:06:48.119
on because I heard you listening to
this. I hear you listening to that.

1485
02:06:49.359 --> 02:06:53.319
That's how I get my customer.
It's because they didn't press the button.

1486
02:06:53.520 --> 02:06:58.279
They don't know that wor press the
button. They'd be following the live

1487
02:06:58.359 --> 02:07:01.239
stream right now on YouTube. Push
the button, then people, we get

1488
02:07:01.279 --> 02:07:04.479
those monkey Shoe Twister shirts out there, we get some street cream. It'll

1489
02:07:04.479 --> 02:07:08.399
be all right, Sae. That's
how it works, really, that's all

1490
02:07:08.439 --> 02:07:12.840
we need. Yeah, Uncle,
let's wrap up the show. Do you

1491
02:07:12.880 --> 02:07:15.239
want to do any shout outs between
us? Do you want to shout anybody

1492
02:07:15.279 --> 02:07:23.079
out? Shout out to those listening
and sorry for you, shout out callers,

1493
02:07:23.840 --> 02:07:27.720
shout out to your callers that didn't
have a good conversation for tonight.

1494
02:07:27.800 --> 02:07:30.640
You got your shout out for you
guys. Now, if that's it for

1495
02:07:30.800 --> 02:07:32.520
me, Uncle brings up a good
point. You call out and you get

1496
02:07:32.560 --> 02:07:36.800
to do a shout out too.
He shoutouts for you guys you lost out.

1497
02:07:40.000 --> 02:07:46.640
Shout out to VHS cassettes and everybody
who donates them to the thrift store

1498
02:07:46.720 --> 02:07:54.119
or sells them at garage sales.
I thank you for your contribution to VHR

1499
02:07:54.520 --> 02:07:58.640
VHS watch party with Uncle. He
couldn't make the show without you. You

1500
02:07:58.720 --> 02:08:01.840
know what would be a christ idea, Aaron really fast, just the crazy

1501
02:08:01.920 --> 02:08:05.560
You know those lending libraries you see
in penn parks and stuff where people put

1502
02:08:05.640 --> 02:08:09.159
the books, and they put books
in there. I wonder what would happened

1503
02:08:09.159 --> 02:08:13.520
if people started putting VHS tapes in
there? People would, right, somebody

1504
02:08:13.600 --> 02:08:18.800
might come along and throw what's so
fun about it? What do you think

1505
02:08:18.840 --> 02:08:20.920
about it? Though you might watch
it? We can get this. I

1506
02:08:22.039 --> 02:08:26.840
feel like there's there is a faint
possibility of people like getting into like retro

1507
02:08:28.479 --> 02:08:31.159
VCRs and doing that. I know
that cassette tapes had a research ince a

1508
02:08:31.199 --> 02:08:33.560
couple of years ago. So well, they still sell them. Look,

1509
02:08:33.680 --> 02:08:37.119
you can still see them at like
the good Will store and stuff. You'll

1510
02:08:37.119 --> 02:08:41.760
still see stacks and VHS tapes.
Yeah, That's where I'm good from.

1511
02:08:41.960 --> 02:08:45.439
Yeah, I mean, so the
thing is and I know that occasionally working

1512
02:08:45.560 --> 02:08:48.319
VCRs come in and out of those
places. I've seen them, so you

1513
02:08:48.399 --> 02:08:50.760
know, people use them. And
look if I if I found, you

1514
02:08:50.840 --> 02:08:54.800
know, a VCR and I found
thirty forty tapes and somebody goes, yeah,

1515
02:08:54.880 --> 02:08:58.079
take twenty bucks, take it.
I'm taking it, you know.

1516
02:08:58.319 --> 02:09:01.680
Yeah, it's entertaining, Like you
can spend that many hours just watching us

1517
02:09:01.720 --> 02:09:07.000
things up to a TV. Again, some stuff that was available on VHS

1518
02:09:07.239 --> 02:09:09.359
is not available on DVD, despite
the fact that you will think so,

1519
02:09:09.880 --> 02:09:13.600
you know, like for instance,
if you wanted the original cut of Star

1520
02:09:13.720 --> 02:09:16.319
Wars, you can't get on the
DVD no more. It's all the touchdoff

1521
02:09:18.159 --> 02:09:20.960
you know, retrofitted, changed up
versions. You know that, right,

1522
02:09:20.680 --> 02:09:24.279
Yes, I know that. Well, Chuck, I saw a copy of

1523
02:09:24.359 --> 02:09:26.880
that actually at the third story of
the other day. It was one of

1524
02:09:26.920 --> 02:09:31.159
them. It wasn't full trilogy of
his Empire Strikes Back or something something that

1525
02:09:31.279 --> 02:09:39.800
we can listen to talk about copyright
in Finnish. Definitely that the letterbox version

1526
02:09:39.840 --> 02:09:41.000
of that, by the way,
you know, the letterbox one that came

1527
02:09:41.039 --> 02:09:46.159
in the either the gold or the
silver packaging for Star Wars. One of

1528
02:09:46.239 --> 02:09:50.279
those contains the actual original cut of
the movie that like even the people that

1529
02:09:50.359 --> 02:09:54.640
made the movies claim they don't have
a copy of anymore. Like Disney doesn't

1530
02:09:54.640 --> 02:09:58.119
even allegedly have a copy of this
in their vault. Okay, And there's

1531
02:09:58.159 --> 02:10:01.840
some of those fo on VHS tapes, all kinds of weird treasures like that,

1532
02:10:03.399 --> 02:10:07.800
just saying, you know, all
right, so long story short,

1533
02:10:07.920 --> 02:10:13.520
press the button show us on our
VHS watch party and we'll get a tape

1534
02:10:15.039 --> 02:10:20.039
the tape party. What is that
on? Is that NHS Enthusiast club going

1535
02:10:20.079 --> 02:10:22.520
about? That? Is that on
Instagram? Like? Wh Where do you

1536
02:10:22.560 --> 02:10:24.760

02:10:26.039 --> 02:10:30.319
