excited about this. The Uncle Show will be just after this one, so
Uncle is just as excited as anybody. So it's good we're back at this
day. This timeslot ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific for this show again.
The next hour is the Uncle Show, so it's good to be back
here. I'm excited about this. If you want to call in, you

He'll bring you on the show. So type him a message. He's
Charles dot o'helly on Skype, where you can call three one nine, five
two seven, five zero one six. We are in the age of transition
as always. We may not always be aware of that, but it's been
this way for well as long as I can remember, it's been this way.
Things keep changing rapidly. It's all due to all of these amazing breakthroughs
happening everywhere, and technology is just kind of running away from us faster all
the time. Can't keep up, don't try to, you won't be able
to. But it's crazy. Lots of changes, lots of changes we've seen
in a very short amount of time, and I think just the rapid speed
of change is really what's frustrating so many people. And it's hard not to
be frustrated. Everybody is at some point in time, and more often than
not, maybe you know, we're all we all have been as of late.
It's been tough times up there. So I hope you're doing as well
as you can. And you know, take heart, we're going to be
We're gonna make it one way or the other. So let's just do what
we can here. And I don't know, I don't really have anything planned
for this show. However, I do have a article that gets into a
topic that I've been covering for quite some time now, and little bits and
pieces, this overall story keeps developing, and it's it's one of those like
obvious stories that anybody who's paying attention can see that's occurring. It's it's a
pretty fascinating see change shift in the way business is done. It's it's massively
important for our country, America, for the and for the world really.
But yeah, it's just one of those things that I don't think it somehow
goes off the radar, and maybe that's due to some fancy technology that was
designed to be not seen on radar. That would be apropos because we're talking
about the military industrial complex, the Defense Department's defense budget budget, specifically how
they use it to fund all sorts of emerging and advanced technologies for warfare obviously,
but all sorts of technologies across the board that you wouldn't necessarily think are
military they end up coming out of this. I mean, this is the
history of this world, the development of technologies. So it's a long story.
But the modern interesting thing happening these days that I think doesn't get enough
airtime is this sort of war between these different like these two factions that are
vying for all of the funds, right, these public funds, the defense
budget that they can get defense budget backing for their technological products. And the
two factions are really the old guard mega corporations that came out of the aerospace
industry. So really the aerospace companies you know, all the which are also
major defense contractors Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop, Grumming, Lockheed Martin, all
those guys, those major companies are the old guard companies that are that are
very much at war with the new kid on the block, which is generally
speaking, Silicon Valley and the tech industry, the consumer tech industry. So
those are the two groups that are really I don't know even the full extent
of this, but I am sure that they are at odds with one another
and there is an antagonistic thing going on. There's definitely rivalry. I think
would be putting it lightly. So there's definitely a change. And you see
all these papers being written by the new kid contingency, the Eric Schmidt.
It just I mean, really, Eric Schmidt is big lynchpin in this.
We've talked about him many times over on this show. But if you look
at what he like, the posts he's been given, the military posts and
national security posts he's been given in the past couple of years. And you
just read everything that he says and all the major bullet points he puts out.
Those not only are those like big talking points that are working their way
in and kind of seeping in from the mainstream political dialogue, like things you
will actually hear in like a presidential debate and things like this. It's not
only that, but these are the things that are being used to reshape defense
spending and the military industrial complex as we know it. You know, the
big narrative of what I would say, the major one is just like great
power, what they call it the Great power. Uh, it's basically the
tension new Cold war between China and the US primarily, but also other nations
are involved, Russia certainly, around all these countries that are adversarial to US,
but primarily the technological race, the technological war between China and the US,
and certainly when it comes to the development of artificial intelligence and any cursory
look at the news of the past year. I think anybody has a general
sense of that now. So I think it's interesting that we all can see
what the mainstream talking points have been in that world, right, we all
have seen it. But it's something that's an ever developing story and something that
we need to look at, and something that on this show I've been talking
about for quite some time I will continue to talk about. I'm going to
try to see if I can get some guests that can really speak to this
well this coming year. That's I guess. If anything, a resolution for
the show is get guests that can speak to that. So we'll see what
we can do there. If anybody has any suggestions on guests in that vein,
feel free to send them to me. Friends at the Age of Transitions
dot Com about to speak to anybody who can talk about this topic. But
yeah, back to the main point here is this sort of butting of heads
between the old guard the new guard of the guys in the military industrial complex.
You've got the old companies and you've got Silicon Valley that I guess let's
call it aerospace versus big tech, right, you can put it that way.
There's a very good article here and I got the link to this through
jpce Atilly's news Vandal Rundown. This is where I that's really where I read.
Any news article that I end up reading is from his list that he
puts out there. His mailing list is news Vandal Rundown. So this is
a standout article for me that I'm going to read parts of it now because
it definitely is. It's a great article that gets into an overview of this
topic and where we're at now. This piece was written on January fifteenth,
twenty twenty four. It is from Responsible Statecraft Responsible statecraft dot org. The
author is Seanna Marshall. Title, how VC is busting the military industrial complex
for its own benefit. Didn't think there could be anything worse than the existing
defense bureaucracy. This next is a real killer. So I'll just start reading
from this. It's a bit ver bosa, I'd like to I'll read it
anyway. We got time. Ties between big finance and the weapons industry are
not new. The first venture capital firm in the US was founded to profit
from new technologies developed for use in World War Two, and the role of
military spending and turning Silicon Valley into a tech hub is well documented. I
could give lots of commentary on that, but I'll just continue. But today's
biggest VC titans are making transformative investments in military technology that pose serious consequences far
beyond another hype driven tech bubble. Weaponizing their financial assets to expand the production
of war material will not only divert technological resources away from other critical domestic priorities,
but also so forge novel devices of warfare that will generate demand for battleground
testing battlefield testing grounds both at home and abroad, new exciting ways to make
money right for those that are again fighting for these government contracts. Anyway back
to it. But before the defense tech evangelists can resurrect the age of American
global supremacy, they must transform the way the Pentagon does business. This involves
seducing Pentagon planners with exotic promises arranging from atriatable autonomous systems or swarm technology to
subscription models for weapons systems. God not because these fit some strategic framework,
but because they align with the VC business model. Imagine that venture capital and
private equity is about making limited investments in mobile assets technologies engineers to get a
startup to the IPO stage or trim the fat from an existing operator and cash
out. This is at odds with a military industrial complex. That boasts millions
of employees and a handful of oligopalistic firms with billions of dollars of permanent infrastructure,
huge upfront costs, long time horizons, and extremely complex procurement processes.
Okay, I'm going to jump in on that. Yeah, so the old
way of doing business when it comes to the MIIC has definitely become a vested
special interest group. I mean, it's obvious that these aerospace companies have built
up an industry that only they can occupy. This was done over a period
of decades, really, yeah, World War two to now, this has
been built up, this whole system of doing business. And yes, they
have definitely done everything that they can to build up the business model so that
they are the only players in town. Right, I mean it's they call
it here, all agappalistic firms. Yes, I mean it's it's I suppose
it's not an actual monopoly because what there's like five giant companies and then there's
all their little subcontractor companies. It's like there's there's plenty of companies in the
space, but nobody's making their way in there. All the little companies again
are just like subcontractors for the big ones. Essentially, so many decades of
building up that business model now being threatened to be shaken up because of again
all of these the things that Eric Schmidt writes about in his white papers for
the nsc AI and whatnot, saying, oh, yeah, if we don't
hurry up and speed up the defense procurement process, China's can get one up
on us, and they're gonna tomorrow they'll have this crazy AI technology that we
won't be able to keep up with. And in the name of preventing that,
we have to speed up the way that the defense industry does business.
And yes, of course that's going to take on the aspects of doing business
in Silicon Valley. And that's exactly what this article is talking about. The
venture capital and private equity firms, these giant investment firms that are behind these
are these are the profiteers of big keech. These are the ones that make
all the big money. There is the guys that aren't big investors, right
and so and so, Yeah, this could turn into something very lucrative.
It's definitely been lucrative for the aerospace industry for all these years, but again
it was their way of doing business is lucrative on their terms, that very
much is being threatened now by this whole new shift in things brought on by
I mean technology is at the forefront of this and the speed this, uh,
the speed at which technological progress is just taking off, the singularity sort
of scenario of Ray kurtzwel right, the bell curve is starting to shoot up
and so to and so here we are. So you've got this interesting aspect
of things popping up. Let's see here where am I at on this agreement?
Keep reading this? Okay, oh yeah, this is a good paragraph
right here. So we're picking up article from Responsible Staycraft. The fingerprints of
VC priorities are everywhere, from the Pentagon's offices, Pentagon's Office of Strategic Capital
and the Small Business Investment Company SBIC initiative to the Defense Innovation Board. That's
a big one. They got so many of these things. But anyway,
I'll go on a collection of Silicon Valley scions elevated to a permanent department under
the Secretary of Defense. That's the DIP. Typically, the Pentagon acquires technologies
or equipment through private contracts with a company or by supplying grants to provide funds
for research and development. The new Office of Strategic Capital, established in December
twenty twenty two, lets the Pentagon behave less like a public agency and more
like a VC investor. It was in this new spirit that Silicon Valley investors
in March twenty twenty three lobbied the Pentagon to bail out Silicon Valley Bank,
where many of them had hundreds of millions deposited, by claiming that they would
be damaged thereby losing the Pentagon critical capabilities if they weren't rescued. Deploying the
argument that a run on SVB would be a national security risk, the Pentagon
and its supporters advocated for federal government intervention, according to the intercept, and
the Treasury Department ultimately interceded to bail out SVB on March twelve, protecting investors.
Did you know that little tidbit about that whole Silicon Valley Bank bailout?
You know that the military aspect of this and the fact that the big Silicon
Valley investors involved in that got the US government to bail them out by making
the claim that was a national security risk if it wasn't done like that,
that's pretty interesting. The vision of Eric Schmidt is starting to come into view
here. That's pretty fascinating. Anyway, the financial services sector is likewise providing
innovative products to facilitate the expansion of VC backed defense tech in Pentagon contracting.
One example is Leonid Bank, which is an invoice factoring company that basically lends
to the events tech startups based on the DoD invoices that those startups have for
future projects to provide them with more money over and above the contract value,
which is not something that has ever existed for Pentagon contracts. Okay, let
me see. Now we're getting kind of into the details here. Let me
see. I don't honestly, I don't know if I need to read much
more. I'm going to scroll down see if there's anything really interesting. Venture
capitalists. Venture capitalists are eagerly supplying geostrategic justifications and policy blueprints to the Pentagon
on how to shape reshape it's contracting ecosystem to facilitate this shift. Yet I
mean, they keep saying the same thing. They just got to speed up
the contract process, which is quite fascinating because, as we were speaking to
earlier, the aerospace industry definitely helped set things up where the contracting process itself
was long drawn out, involved, and there was a host of reasons for
doing that. This is just a way to keep things rolling along and keep
like, you know, keep generating money over a long span of time.
But also it made it so difficult that nobody else could get in there.
So now there's this shakeup, right, is that going to is the old
way of doing business going to continue? I mean this brings up a lot
of interesting questions ideas. Yeah, it's just it's crazy to look at.
Definitely. I mean, if there were some sort of crazy, some sort
of like cyber security issue that popped up, and I've said this on the
show before, like it seems like a foregone conclusion that at some point there
will be like cyber versions of if not nine to eleven scale, certainly smaller
scale incidents where cyber security is blown up and seen as a bigger issue because
it will be a real, true issue that it hasn't been in the past.
And in the wake of those sorts of things, Definitely, I can
see a lot of traction being made in this realm of the military industrial complex.
Like Okay, well these guys were right, we do have to really
start moving. We need to, you know, in the realm of cybersecurity,
start funding all of these solutions coming from these small from anywhere, coming
from anywhere, small company, big company, whatever. We need to get
this thing up and running immediately. We can't wait five years for this thing
to come into existence. We need a solution now. So I think it
will be pretty What I'll say is that we need to keep our eyes open
moving forward as the story develops. It certainly will, I don't know how
exactly it will. I can take a few guesses at generally what could happen,
what might happen, things like that, and yeah, that's what we're
speaking to here. Exactly what will happen, we don't know, but pretty
fascinating to see this, And yes, this is a story. We will
keep our eyes on as the year goes on and even forward, because it's
wild, it's very important, huge money. This defense budget itself has always
been a massively important thing to understand and one of those things that I definitely
do believe has been swept under the rug when it comes to media coverage and
has not been given its due because if it had, I think there would
be well, one would hope there would be a lot more resistance to it
and a lot more political action going on to say enough is enough, Like
what are we doing spending these ridiculous amounts of money on defense ostensibly? Is
that really what it is? Or are we defending ourselves? This gets into
questions of you know, the use of the US military foreign policy, but
it also gets into like sloppy business practices. And yes, people can make
that old tired argument that hey, look these bureaucracies, all they do is
they're just built to waste time, energy, money, And it's a fascinating
thing with the mic, because yes, that is very true. But you've
got the private side of there's a public and a private side to this,
right, there's both things going on here. Yes, it's a bunch of
government money, it's a bunch of public funds. Where are they going there
and going into the hands of private corporations which are in turn making massive profits,
massive profits off of public funds. So it's a public private partnership,
right to me, that's the most interesting thing to if we're talking about politics,
let's not talk about the government, right, Let's not talk about how
evil the government is. Let's not talk about corporations, how terrible they are.
Oh, capitalism, we got to overthrow it, you know, wave
the red flag. There's a revolution tomorrow. We're going to fix everything.
No, it's both of those views are stupid because it's about the public private
ammal gam. That is the world we live in. Finance is interesting,
I mean if you really get to like, what the hell is this money?
First of all, where's it coming from? Who has the authority to
make it? That's interesting. But it's out there and it's being shuffled all
around. We're living for it. And yes, there's there. There are
powerful entities in government. They're powerful entities, corporate entities that are all part
of this process of moving currency around and in so doing doing very real world
projects. And yes, a lot of them are quite wasteful in more ways
than one, waste of money because a lot of times the contracts are just
built up to just keep money coming in just for its own sake, right,
I mean, look no further than the now infamous F thirty five.
It's just a thing that was designed. It's it's like planned obsolescence. It's
it's it's like a perfect example of that. But aerospace, right, and
this supposedly high crown jewel is what it should be. The F thirty five
is supposed to be this crowning achievement of technology, American military supremacy and might
strength, right or we love being strong? Okay, how strong America is?
Look at this giant metal aircraft equipped with the deadliest weaponry in the world
that can be at the in a heartbeat. It can just be dispatched to
anywhere in the world and it can blow up a city, or it can
just you know, who do you wanna Who do you want to bomb?
Who do you want to what do you want to blow up? We've got
the F thirty five. We can do it, aren't we great? But
it's not even that. It seemed as like this piece of junk that just
like constantly breaks down. You can barely stay in the air it's got It's
interesting because you know, the the aerospace companies have developed their own little tricks
on keeping money coming in, right, and so that F thirty five exemplifies
that. Now, do we think if Eric Schmidt wants to get up there
at his podium and act like Silicon Valley and the tech sector won't do the
exact same thing but probably ten times worse. You got to be kidding me.
This article made a it's mentioned something about subscription models and using that for
you know, some sort of military technology now, And that's a laughable example
of everything's the subscription model now because why because it makes more money for the
company putting a product out as a subscription instead of you just pay once for
this thing and you have it, you own it. So it's like you
keep paying in, you keep paying in, and so yes, the aerospace
money. The aerospace industry became adept at creating similar models for use, specifically
in their transactions with the United States government, the military, the Department of
Defense. They build up all kinds of elaborate systems of those, but those
are now under threat by these new guys coming in that have figured out all
sorts of scams to run on the American public, mainly and ways to get
more and more money out of nothing. Although the tech industry is very interesting
and venture capital and all these sorts of things, they don't when you look
at it. Actually a lot of these companies don't even like turn profits,
and they don't really technically make money, but they bring money in for their
investors. And that's a fascinating story right there. But I guess that's all
that really matters. It doesn't matter that you're putting out a good product,
it doesn't matter that you're even making a profit. As long as the investors,
the venture capitalists themselves brought in money for themselves, then fine, right.
And so I mean, all this is is just what do we even
label this? It's just like everyday corruption, but it's at a large scale.
It's at obviously large public scale that affects everybody. This is about the
public interest. It's about the public being lied to. It's about obfuscation of
the truth of the situation. It's about propaganda because we're talking about the American
foreign policy and God blessed the military and things like that, so they can
cloak all of their self interests in that it isn't that nice, which also
had ought to be there ought to be more energy spent, and people just
haranguing those that use that, that exploit patriotism and just all of those I
can't think of the word right now, but basically propagandizing the public to believe
to look one way while all the while they're sitting there cashing there constantly coming
in checks. The checks are coming in like every five minutes. It's not
a check for like two hundred dollars to check for two hundred thousand dollars.
It's coming in constantly, all day, every day, twenty four hours,
twenty four to seven. It's about money, you know. Don't worry.
At this point, I won't. I won't wave the red flag like I
was talking about before. I'm not here to advocate for some communist solution to
the capitalist oligarchy or whatever. I'm not going to do that. But you
know, I, I don't know. It's just crazy to see how this
stuff keeps going on, and the shifting is fascinating, it really is.
I'm fascinated to see like these quarrels between the old and new guard of these
guys trying to get the defence budget into their trying to cash in on that.
So it's interesting and we'll keep following that. But in many ways,
it's the same old thing. It's just shifting around, reorganizing, different players,
moving in and out, you know whatever. We're still constantly under threat
from something, right, so be scared. We're all in tro China is
evil, Russia's evil or Roun's evil? Who else is evil? There's a
lot of evil people out there, a lot of evil out there, so
we gotta keep making weapons to stop the evil doers. The weapons are great.
They even when they fall apart, it's, uh, well, we'll
just fix them. We'll fix them. It'll be fine. F thirty five.
Isn't that bad? It could be could be worse, right, Yeah,
I don't know, man, there's there's so much going on. Now.
Well, Aaron, let me let me ask you something, because you
go through this and and look, we don't have any callers, so figured
it. I'll jump in for a minute. But I got to ask your
opinion about this. How can you blame the mi C for creating You know,
at some point they have to get the subscription models right because every other
industry that is a major concern. What do they base their whole existence on
repeat customers? Now? I get the idea that if you give somebody a
bomb, they can only use it once. And okay, they got to
buy more bombs, But why not do the thing that everybody's doing right,
every single thing. It seems like you have to have some level of repeat
payment in order to maintain it. It doesn't matter if it's your Amazon Prime
or if it's a piece of software that you know, you you depend on
to do something, whether it's artistic or you know what I'm saying. Like
you can't get the whole package anymore and you're done. Like you used to
be able to just buy the package and you're finished. But now you got
to maintain. So why is it that you wouldn't have the maintenance part of
the equation in business? It seems to work everywhere else, whether it's the
medical industry obviously, give somebody, don't don't ever treat the illness, mind,
you just give somebody a drug that'll keep masking the symptoms, and they're
gonna want those symptoms to maintain being masked, so you got to keep giving
it to them, right, I mean, why not? It is the
model, whether it's on a street level, or it's on the larger corporate
level, or it's entertainment or anything else. Just like when these streaming services
they put out, you know, a good product, right, and they
put out a good show, and they lose money on it because they spend
millions of dollars do the best top of the line. I mean, I
think there's and something like twenty five million dollars an episode for brand new star
treks right on a paramount. But here's the thing. They don't have to
maintain a good product. They just have to get you hooked in so that
you won't cancel your subscription. They're not interested in necessarily serving the fans as
something or creating something in and of itself that is unique or stand alone.
But if you get hooked in, will you stay? That's the big part
of the model, right, Like Netflix lost money for years and years.
They made no money. Their stock price didn't drop somehow because they were so
prevalent, but they were losing money every single year. And now that they've
stagnated a little bit, I'm sure the bounce back is there. The stockholders
are getting taken care of. It is what it is. But it was
all about holding up subscribers and that becomes a constant revenue stream. So why
wouldn't you do it with bombs and bullets and planes same time? Right?
Yeah? Yeah, I mean that's the idea there, and certainly these VC
guys will do that. That's part of their model. So yeah, yeah,
yeah, I'm just saying like it's it's almost like the of course they're
going to like why wouldn't you use AI for this or that? Or the
third of course they will, you know. I was remarking to somebody the
other day that I was kind of surprised, I don't know how it is
in California, because I was looking at some California news and you've got some
wacky stuff going on there. By the way, your cicada population is about
to go up in southern California, by the way, it's they apparently there
have been some cicadas underground feeding for ten years about ready to oh yeah those
okay, yeah, the ones that only come out everything. I remember them
in Pennsylvania, like there was this one specific kind of cicada that came out
only like every seventeen years or something. Then yeah, when they come out,
there's a ton ton of them. I remember. They were a regular
cicada's like green. It has like green eyes, sort of like green coloration.
Yep. These ones had like red eyes and they had like red coloration.
They were everywhere out in the woods. I went to a state park
and they're man, it was noisy. They're making a racket or dead ones
all over the place, So I guess I could relive my childhood out here.
I'll be exciting. Yeah, California is about to get hit with him.
But I mean I was just watching some of the wacky news out there
and and uh, you know again it's so strange, but like, uh,
oh man, I forgot where I was going with this. But the
cicadas are funny because I was just like, wow, look at this,
and there was people on the news going, I think I'm going to run
to San Francisco because that's the only way to escape these screepy cicadas. And
I'm like, are you worried about the cicadas? But I guess that's crazy
what goes on out there. Uh. But I mean seriously, like if
everything is on a subscriber model, I mean, it just makes perfect sense.
And when you take a look at especially what's what's about to happen out
there regarding you know, a bunch of these other things. They're going to
create subscriptions for everything. You know, it's much like the the the the
apps are going to be part of everything. Like you're going to have to
participate in certain technologies. If you're going to participate in certain businesses. And
that's just the way it is, you know, so it makes perfect sense.
It's just a natural evolution. Oh I know where I was going,
Like in California, did you guys retain any of those kiosks, the McDonald's
kiosks, because they were about ready to fully automate, like you know,
you know, the whole argument over fast. Oh yeah, yeah, the
the minimum wage is going up and now hamburgers are cost forty five dollars apiece,
and now of course there's going to be automated restaurants. Is that what
we're getting into. Yeah, I was about to go there, because you
know, we got the experimental kiosks here for McDonald's of all things, in
Georgia. And I was just remarking the other day to somebody. I was
like, you notice that failed. Nobody seemed to hook up with it here
in the South. I mean, we got terrible McDonald's. I was even
telling the guys that if you want to, you know, you want your
order screwed up, go to that one, you know, And the guy's
like, yeah, yeah, I know. But I'm like, but but
here's the funny part. We had the automated kiosks where you could punch in
your own stuff everything, You could decide what to put on the burger,
what not to put on it, and it would just show up at the
counter. We had all of that there. Now they did it mainly with
the I don't know if you remember the higher end burgers that McDonald's tried to
do. For a minute, Uh, what year are we talking. It's
only maybe five six years ago. It seems vaguely familiar. I don't exactly
remember it. Yeah, they served your french fries literally if you ate in
you know, in the in the restaurant you were going to eat in store,
they served your french fries in a metal bowl that looks like a fry
basket. That obviously you know they want it back. You know, you
couldn't keep it, but you know, like you're instead of it being in
a cardboard thing, it was in a fry basket, and your burger was
higher in you actually had an artisan type bun, and it was higher quality
beef and all this stuff. But they exclusively ran them through these kiosks where
you punched in everything, you chose the type of lettuce you wanted, and
oh yeah, yeah, no, we have those at the restaurants. But
what it is is, yeah, you walk up to it and you type
in your order and then it you know, you could if you want to
go to cashier into it, but they also have those, and then if
you do that, you pay there with your card and then the food will
come out and it's sort of just like anything else you order inside it.
That's what you mean, Just that like giant iPad thing they have in there.
Yeah. Now see those are gone from here, really not work.
Oh no, no, we have the those are in I want to say,
if they're not in every McDonald's, they're most of them here. So
yeah, that's the weird thing is that now you go into a McDonald's in
California and that still remains, although they didn't fully automate the restaurant, right,
no, no, no, no, okay. So I traveled from
Georgia to Texas, you know, in November, as you well know,
and along the way, B Pete and I, you know, I gotta
be honest, we stopped all be Pete really appreciates and eats his fast food,
so we stopped and ate fast food along the way, and and you
know, as much as we could while we were there. Because it was
the cheaper option, obviously, and they taxed you heavily in Dallas especially,
you know, tourists and stuff. But the restaurants are extremely expensive. It's
very hard to eat. So, believe me, eating a fast food burger
on the way was a lot more of a sensible thing to do or even
when we got there. So here's the thing. I probably ask food in
like Louisiana, and I want to say Alabama maybe could be, I don't
know, Arkansas, and in Texas. Okay, none of this crap is
there. There is none of that big kiosk. There's none of that big
like you said, the giant iPad. Nothing is automated. They have all
gone back to the walk up to the counter, talk to the kid.
He punches it into the machine and then he hands you aback. Okay,
got it. So California does things a little different. I'm just pointing out,
I guess so yeah, yeah, But I want to say, it
must be like that in like New York and whatnot, right I'm thinking it
is. I got to ask people do they still have that. I have
not asked somebody in New York recently do they still have them there? But
I know that the test but the test markets were weird for that because they
didn't put it all over the country and it remains in California. Now,
that was supposed to be a step toward automation though, because eventually they would
take not just the high end burgers, but why not put everything on it?
Right then? Yeah? Yeah, everything is on it now. Yeah,
okay, Well you can do that same thing with if you want to
do that with a big Mac. You can take off all the ingredients fun
by one. You can do that, or you can build up your burger
from scratch, and it's not it's not an artisanal burger. It's just the
regular junk they have. Okay, you can do that with everything. Yeah,
you can put extra salt on it, you can put mustard on it,
you can eat all that stuff. Okay, So they did automate partially
in California and they kept it. But I'm telling you all those states that
I just mentioned, from from Georgia to Texas, no sign of that crap,
none of it. It's not there. So what I'm saying is that
it's just it's you know, even though things are nationally and they're supposed to
be, you know, a cookie cutter thing. They are sort of skewed
toward regional concerns. Now, when you're talking about the military industrial complex and
you're talking about these other larger industries. Uh, even though they might be
skewed toward automation, they might be skewed towards certain things. The experience runs
a little different. So uh, let's see we have them in the macOS
here. Oh okay, well yeah, all right, I get it.
And uh, the Ford freaking the chat room is saying that they have those
in Australia. The keya there you go see. Okay, so it's it's
uh international chuck, there you go, there you go see. But this
is what I don't know because here I sit and then that crap was pulled.
It's god. They nobody wanted any part of it here. And again
it was a step that was supposed to be Even McDonald said, eventually we
can make it so that you know, one guy runs the McDonald's right.
Sugar Bear wasn't having it. He complained, you've been nearly put his fists
through the chios. Sugar Bear, she didn't like it. Okay, cool
enough, no, and all the other honey boobos here in the southeast.
A right, I'm gonna shot up now before I get myself, but I'm
not mistaken. Sugar Bear and Honey Booboo or your neighbors, Chuck, I
don't know, but I think they're near you. For what that's worth,
which isn't a whole lot. There's a lot of weird people near me.
Remember the same state. Marjorie Taylor Green lives in, right, you know.
And look, I'm not even talking about her politics. I saw a
picture of her on the beach. What the hell happened to her feet?
Jesus Christ. I never like I've seen, you know, women with weird
twisted up toes from wearing you know, pointed high heels for most of their
lives or whatever. But what the hell she looks like? It's like a
lobster. Have you ever seen that? I know, I know, I
don't know what her feet looks like, and I'm happy to say that's the
case. It was the weirdest. There was this picture of her on a
beach, right, and somebody sent it to me and was like, can
you believe this? And I was like, what, it's the idiots standing
on a beach? What do I care? And and somebody said, no,
look at her feet, and I was like, okay, So I
look back at the picture. I'm like, holy crap, they don't look
human. It's really bizarre. Maybe did she did she like injure her foot
at some point of everybody strange. Nobody's ever explained this. It's just really
weird looking. Like I said, some women, you know, like they
they've had those weird shape, pointed high eels or whatever, and they developed
strange callouses and their toes get twisted up after years and years of wear and
stuff or whatever. But she, I swear I couldn't even count the number
of toes on the one foot, Like it was so weird looking. And
I don't mean to obsess that. I'm just why, how the hell did
I get on this? Oh? Because she's in George. All I know
is that the world is a better place when MTG meant magic to gathering,
right. Indeed, because she is. She is absolutely white trash Barbie.
So all right, all right, I'm done, but go ahead. Oh,
by the way, you have a caller. Oh okay, that's good.
This is it's perfect timing. Actually, I'm sure the car will bring
a lot to the table. So we'll go directly to them. Caller,
you're on the Age of Transitions live. What's their name and where are you
calling from? This is Jimmy James calling from the frozen, far far far
up north. And I have a mccomment. I have a mccomment. The
other day. I was reading in an article and oh no, they haven't
given up on the machines. You don't get it. They're trying to get
them so that they're fully automated as and they'll prepare the food and everything.
I have heard this, Jimmy, and I believe it. I could,
I could see it happening. So what else on this front, Jimmy,
what's going on? Well, that's it. I just had that one mccomment.
Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, they keep talking about that.
I mean honestly, I could see. I'm surprised there. And what I
think the next step is likely to be is they will keep the kios.
I don't know if they're going to make their way back to Georgia or not,
but they're definitely here in southern California or they're elsewhere. I would think
they stay with that model. And also, you know, the the it
the apps on your phone, same thing. And what they do is to
cut the costs of the staff. They'll cut the staff down by just having
the cooks in the back. You order on the kiosks and then there will
be like a wall where you don't even see the cooks. They just like
make your food, throw it through a slide. It comes out a hole
and it's like got your name on it, and you take it. Then
if you have a quandary or a complaint, like there are pickles on here,
I didn't want them, you'll have to go through the kios again.
You know, you won't be able to yell at the person at the cash
register anymore. There's just a type it into the thing and if you're lucky,
it'll come down the hole the right way the second time. And Jimmy,
I'm sure they haven't given up on automating the restaurants. But what I'm
saying is that they suffered a serious setback here in the South because nobody wanted
to screw with those stupid kiosks, because I don't know why, but everybody
just got aggravated with it and didn't want to do it, so they ignored
them. And then they pulled them out even out of the test areas where
they put them in. They were like, come on in and try it.
We'll give you a coupon off on your And like I said, they
even offered higher end food in the kiosk to try and be like, hey,
look this is special, you know, come over and get this.
And you know it's not hard to automate the whole restaurant and cook it and
everything. Yeah, so you know, it's very possible. I mean,
I'm sure a sophisticated set of conveyor belts could could come up with these things
and fix everything to order, you know, not hard. I think Wendy's
might. On the X Files, well, did you catch the one where
Moeller walked in the back to talk to the sheriff and or the sheriff the
chef and there's a bunch of robots and they all just stopped froze what they
were doing, and they were like, ooh, I don't yeah, I
don't think I saw that one. By the way, I put that Marjorie
Taylor Green image that I went and searched on the internet real quick and grab
just to show everybody what the hell it is. I was ranting about for
a second. There, great, great, we're all happy about that,
chef, Thank you. I do I do know that there was I read
a story about this machine that like it's kind of like it takes up a
huge space. But what you can do is you program it to make a
bowl, is like the bowl o Mattic or something they called, and you
know, like in Asahi bowl. So you could like have a bowl restaurant
and as long as you have like a ten by twenty foot area in the
back, that's where you put this machine and you know, you can set
it up to make your your own bowls. So I know that they have
those things, and there's all sorts of that stuff, but that's the one
that comes to mind. Yeah, bowls you're talking about where like where they
put either rice or noodles on the bottom and they just put stuff. Well
well yeah, yeah that but I think the bulls they're talking about were like
Asahi balls. You know what Asahi bowl is. Yeah, well okay,
but that's an Asian thing where where you know, but if I'm correct,
it's like just Asian food, but it's all in one bowl. But they've
had American versions of this, like KFC has a bowl, right, they
have different bowls or they just put mac and cheese or potatoes underneath. But
but yeah, no, no, I see bowl restaurants would make perfect sense.
And you know what else would make perfect sense is if they did it
at those convenience stores, those larger places like yes, sheets and sheets,
yeah, yeah, yeah, sheets and blah blah yeah Pennsylvania exactly. Well,
if you go into Pennsylvania used to be you had to go to the
what was it the uh oh, the same people to make the ice cream
something farms. I know that Ohio has United Dairy Farmers. I can't think
of well, I can't. I can't think of the farm zone from Pennsylvania.
Everything. The damn thing looks just no, it's not prairie farms.
The damn thing looks just like Khuahwa. But it's almost like a perfect ripoff
of it. And it's uh oh, man, I can't think of that
one. There was like what Turkey Hill, Turkey Hill, that's it,
thank you Turkey Okay, Turkey Hill. The Turkey Hill stores are looked just
like Wohwa's. They're they're perfect ripoffs the Wahwa and the same kind of fast
food in them and all that stuff, and she''s kind of developed a similar
sort of deal. But I bet you can automate all that stuff and Taketo's
and all that roller stuff. That would be nothing for an automated system to
handle. Really. Anyway, Look, I'm gonna shut up because you got
about three minutes left on your hour and you still got Jimmy on the phone,
so I'll let you go. But but always fun to talk about this
stuff and how it relates to not only what they feed you, but what
they feed you. Okay, yeah, I got it all right. Well,
on that note, Jimmy, did you want to do you want to
hang out on the phone for the Uncle show or you gotta get going?
Well I got called back because I got telephonical issues lately, but uh,
I just want to make that little mick comment. Alright, thanks for calling
Jimmy. We'll talk to you again, all right. Yes, So we
definitely covered a lot of ground tonight, didn't We talked about the ever changing
face of the military industrial complex, and we talked about hamburgers, and we
talked about MTG's feet. So, I mean, what else do you really
need to know about there's nothing really of importance out there that I can think
of off the top of my head. Uh but we are live on the

foreign countries, we got our Australia, Canada, UK, Germany and where's
that other one? Oh Italy? Okay, so there you go, Italy,
Germany, uh, UK, Yes, UK doesn't tell me specifically.

I don't know where that is in the UK. But welcome in India.
Yeah, so very cool, right, Australia is new, that's new,
that's new countries. Oh uncle, somebody's in. Electric Daz is in the
chat and he says, hey from the UK, So Electric Daz is there,
electric k I am going to tell anyone the crack crack room because I
got something to say about the crack rooms. Oh boy, here it goes,
there it goes. We figured out we a poker contest twenty one and
he's cracking up here, just trying to crack blackjack, and I'm figuring it
away how to talk to them, you know, And I tell you guys
in the crack room. I tell you guys, if you guys want to
call in or figure out how to do it on your cell phones, call
in on my show and then this this thing is very very easy. Then,
since I found out how you call the number on the phone on the
phone yourself and send in your message and then go through us. But but
but what's so funny about it is they hit the name I told her about
I told her about the I told her about the movie I was watching.
So okay, okay, all this back it up a second, and I
told you I was going to talk about it. Yeah I know, I
know, but I think a little context needs to be put in here.
So what Uncle I'm saying is Uncle has a new blackjack game that he plays
on his phone. So you got a blackjack game on your phone. You
play the game, and you're playing. It's an online game where you're playing
with other people online on people and so the game has a little integrated chat
room in it, and so people chat in the chat room. And then
for a while, you're trying to figure out how the chat room worked,
right right, you're asking me like how you get this to work? How
do you work? And how to how to talk to the dealer? But
the dealer, strangely, is that the ladys he's trying to talk to is
that dealer? Well, well she's the one yapping. So wait, okay,
she's the one yapping. So the main person talking in the chat room
is the dealer. No, No, is the point talking back? Oh
yeah yeah yeah. The your fellow players are the ones in the chat room.
The dealer doesn't say anything saying but what you you click to them,
Hey, you can play the game if you want, and say your name
and play the game and see what I'm talking You better get into this one
and play the game, I mean, because I can't tell you you have
to play it good. But but when I said my U, I said
first word, I said big dog. But how many big doors? She
said? How many big doors? Is about three or four big boys?
So I had to change it to John to know who the heck she's the
chat? So I had to take another name? What take my first name?
What is the name of this blackjack app? So other people can get
it and talk to uncle on it? But what I'm going to do when
I hear it again, I'm going to push the subject a little further mm
hmm, to tell him that I've got a broadcast. Yeah, but do
you know what the name? What's what's the name of the little app?
What's the name of the game? Does it happen like twenty one Jack Street

the app store right now. I'm on the app store right now, and
I see something that says twenty one Blackjack free pack Platch Trent twenty one black

There's a lot of these, Okay. There there's Blackjack twenty one by uh
a comic Karma Games. Uh. There, there's House of Blackjack twenty one.
There's just an app called Blackjack from Triple Dot Studios. There's UH and
there's Blackjack World toward Blackjacks one one online online. Uh No, twenty one.
It wasn't online. It was on the phone, but it is.
I just got twenty one in the titles. Yeah, twenty one. These
are all ones. With twenty one, you're gonna play a game and you
talked to them, Well, I got five. I can't talk to him.
And the next week of my show, do you tell you? Uh,
yeah, show, I don't tell you. I was playing around with
the app myself. I did didn't look at the title of the app.
I just didn't. I was I was too busy trying to get the chat
to work. And we got that going. But the name, I can't
recall the name of it. Well, you got to get the name of
the app, because yeah, yeah, no, no that I'm gonna let
so I can't do it and let him play a game. Okay, we
can, Uncle, I'll tell you next week. You know what we can
do, Uncle, what we can post it to your Twitter. We'd be
like the name of the APPOSI and maybe we'll even give a link to it.
So what people have to do hold a minute? Can I hold a
minute? Or get the phone and you do that? No, no,
no, What people have to do, Uncle, is go to your Twitter.
At podcasts, they need to hit the button so that they follow you.
But when they do, they will be updated. When after the show,
we'll go look and I'm posting of the app is and then you will
be rewarded. So we're getting Twitter followed or something. And then then that's
the way to do it. And I can do the same thing on Instagram
too, that's also we'll do that. We'll do that because I wanted to
do this to get on my show. Well, you know what's great about
it too is that you know, if you guys get a lot of traction,
a lot of traffic over there, you could possibly say, hey,
why don't you sponsor Uncle the podcast? And that's the other thing I mentioned
to say, That's what I'm gonna tell them. Mentioned to say something to
oh with the Blackjack app. Yeah, the app, because they might have
something where you know, what if you sign up for at our Blackjack app
and you put in the word Uncle or whatever, you get a bonus something.
You know what I'm saying. And uh yeah, yeah, yeah,
an affiliate Uh, it could be an affiliate advertisement. Yeah, why not.
I mean I'm just saying, take a look at it, see if
it can get done. But I mean even if we just go on there
as followers of the Uncle Show and play together, it will be fun too,
right Yeah, yeah, it could be good. Yeah. I like
the idea. Well, we'll do that. We'll have that done, we
figure out show him how to do it, and and then here I put
it on the AB and we'll do it. I'll have that done next week,
so we'll have one hundred and twenty two episode will be that one.
So that's good. Yeah, yeah, so we've got that. I'll plan

Who's on the phone. Oh, Jimmy James. H h did you
hear our conversation? What's huh? Yes? Oh boy, you're gonna have
We're gonna have. I'm gonna have more customers for for my cutting for my
show. Could happen? Could happen? Possibly, definitely possible? And uh,
hey Jimmy, I got something to talk to you about taking my team
now. Uh some move. I'm at Seminoles because that here dandire. I'm
glad for them. I'm glad for your team for another reason. Now wait
just a minute, so I can't Okay, I'm not saying anything. Yeah,
quiet, okay, And I'm glad so the Lions. I won that
because I think the may Tree some upsetts. Even though those two teams were
rested, it doesn't mean he will probably win. You talked about Baltimore,
Baltimore and San Francisco. Yeah, they came in as the top seed.
Ye on the top seed that there may be too much rest, too much
rest. It's possible for two weeks off. Can you imagine two weeks off
playing the balls get rusty and get rusty. Maybe it's possible. But but
good luck to play in But I know, but I know good luck for
Tampa Bay. Campa Bay, let me tell you has got some defense.
You don't know how to handle that. What do you say, Jimmy boy,
it is well. I suspect Lions forgot to have their way with the
Buccaneers. They should the sound noise, one would think, Yeah, I
mean the Buccaneers. I'm surprised how well they've done this far, that they
made it to the playoffs, and that they won their first game either does
this remind you of something? So I can the man before him and before
him that in this house, nobody likes the man in this house, and
nobody likes I hope it's not me. No, say you're not a football
player. Oh oh Tom Brady? Yes, Oh god, they come back
with another quarterback. Oh you're talking about Tampa Bay had Brady Brady. Yeah,
what was that? Now? Two years ago? Was it last year
that he was still on the team? That was? Where was that two
years ago? Gosh, I can't even remember. Was that two years ago?
Jimmy? What was it? Do you know? To block it out
of my mind? I don't know. I don't know when what? Well
that was last year? You went, yeah, I took his last season?
Yeah, last season? Well, I think he just just by just
retired. They got Baker Mayfield and Baker Mayfield now and he's fitting his shoes
fitting hissues. Good luck on that position. No, I'm mostly worried about
I need those forty nine ers to beat those packers. Those Packers need to
go away. Oh you went to Package Ago, Yeah, because that's the
divisional team for for the Lions, right, is that right? Jimmy?
Am I wrong? They're different divisions. Yeah, they just won't go away.
We won the division and they just won't leave. They keep hanging on.
Well, they got to play the tough Fortners. Yeah. Yeah,
they're gonna give their money. Well, they're gonna get their moneys with let
me tell you that it'll be good. I have an awful feeling that the
Packers are gonna win, but I want to win very you do, Yo.
There's one that has the agreement on them, Pakistan. I mean those
package fans, both of those teams. I find it hard to back either
the forty nine ers or the Packers. But I guess we got a week
by the way, so I kicked, when are we supposed to give the
money in? And tell her you? Well, yeah, I we'll figure
that out. I I I'm very curious about it now because because he's got
somebody that would playing this game too. Yeah, the super Bowl box box
game, that deal, I know what that is. But yes, uh,
I mean the playoffs are heating up. It's getting exciting now. It
is the team's getting eliminated. That the what was it, the super wild
Card week guns over and now we're in what the divisional weekend? Divisional weekend
borrow, they got ya tomorrow and two Sunday. I think two tomorrow in
two Sunday, Is that right, Jimmy? Is that like, Jimmy?
It's eight teams, yeah, which makes four games? Four games? Is
that right? Oh? Yeah, there's gonna be four games. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, I think the Lions game good night, isn't that?
No, it's a night game. It's okay. It's the prime timeline.
No, no, the pointtime. The primetime one should be the Baltimore and
the San francisc No, that's the first one. Those should be those.
San Francisco in Texas is the first one. Thirty. No, it's the
Ravens going up against Texas. Yeah. Yeah, as I said, four
to thirty. Well, I don't know the East. I'm getting confused between
the Eastern time. I'm in the Western time. So it's one thirty on
time. We're always wrestling at times. It's time zone in this away every
time? Did that revolution? I have a problem. I'm thinking of time
zones. But we get our here. The early game started like two,
and all the pregame stuff. We start watching one. But that's right,
you're one o'clock and whatnot? Right? Yeah, yeah, we got three
hours. I think that different. That's what I'm saying. I think that
four thirty time is probably Eastern because yeah, I think you guys get a
game around one thirty or something like that on that that's the one. That's
the one, the one thirty game, that's the one the Ravens in Texas
that would make the most sense. That's the first one. Yeah, that's
what I was saying. Well, with my Revolution show though, it really
gets me going with them, with them, I see what you mean,
Chuck. It's a right, Jimmy, right, right right, I mean
with these time zones, it gets me on the football, right. But
it'll it'll all work out because you know, you'll have two pack days of
football, right yeah, yeah, fairly passed. Fair Yeah, clap the
regular season, but it's packed enough because the games means so much. Now,
Yeah, it goes to the goes to the Vegas cash Man, Vegas
cash Me closing in on the Super Bowl, which will be in twenty one
Back Street twenty one Jacks Trap Traps. What is that? Twenty one craps,
twenty one claps, twenty one Craps. That's the name of the app.
Everybody go on the app store and look up twenty one craps with the
app you know what I mean? You got it, But otherwise we will
leave that on Uncle's Twitter. Yeah no it or Jennerous Circle. We should
get into the Sudden Fresh. Oh these they're good food delivery people. Suddenly
Hello Fresh. Hello. We hit them, but I think they were like
not what I was looking for. Remember that was worth what the name?
Same? Son? I do it? This is oh you're talking about like
the Uber eats and all that kind of stuff. That's what I'm saying you
when you order from a restaurant, they bring it to you. No,
he's mentioning Hello Fresh, which is like Hello Flesh. Oh that thing,
yeah yeah, yeah, we know about that. We know about that.
Yes, yeah yeah my sister in law was subscribed to that for a while.
Yeah yeah, I don't know. You guys need Hello Fresh flesh.
Uncle, see right, you can have you can have that. Don't don't
fill my phone already. Get I'm trying to get another ad. I bet
they probably do have affiliate advertise for they have to look it up. It
would be likely look it up to look into that one for an advertiser,
Uncle, they do they do on podcasts. Well that's why they like the
podcast. Okay, there we go. Well, there could be our cash
cow. Right they're selling them food. Well, they don't put my final
food though, because it's got a lot of pasta. I don't you can
give to a non pasta plan. The let's let's hold off on selling this
service before we're actually an affiliate advertiser. But when at such a point we
are, we will. We'll hop right on board and we'll talk about how
they don't have pasta. We got that whatever you want to get it on
my meals because that does the sugary lining up and down, and that's why
I do. That's the last thing we need. I don't need that.
Well, right now I've had this court full battle battle. You're doing pretty
good right now, uncle, you're right now, you all under control.
I was worried about that coming into this. I have a pump of hot
tea next to me just in case and if I do cough, I got
a call to the side and I haven't handed. Yeah, you've been good.
That's exciting. Yeah, I was worried about that. If you can
continue this streak tomorrow, we might be able to do a VHS watch party
where we watch tapes again. Yeah, I wouldn't like it too, because
I saw this one when you had your hour. This one might be a
very good one to look at. Yeah, this is gonna be one of
our upcoming tapes. What is it? Thrilling, chilling, amazing plays in
Sports volume three? So this is everything in it, I guess. I
mean it's got it's like a sports clips tape. It's how what's the runtime
on this? It looks like approximately thirty minutes? It says, oh we
can do that one quiki. Yeah, so this is years from ninety three.
So yeah, this'll be a fun one. We got to watch the
rest of that candid camera tape too, so we'll start watching that. We
I have that, so we'll break that back out. We'll watch the rest
of it. Maybe we'll get into this tape. And I think I have
another tip we could watch if we keep going. So everybody check out their
YouTube channel. Yeah, YouTube channel. I remember those those are big,
like uh people were okay, so you remember when they started like to really
offload the VHS's and like retail stores they they oh you mean dump them because
the format was done? Yeah, because the format was done. There were
tons of those kind of sports highlight things, like all different volumes, different
things. Sports Illustrated put them out. There were tons of them, maybe
like every kind of sports thing put them out right, and it was all
like highlights and crazy plays and collisions and wild stuff like you know, baseball
collisions, and they were trying to get everything. The first wave of VHS
stuff was like non copyrated stuff, right, because the first Hollywood was boycotting
it, banning it. So the first things, like the first two films
I ever watched down VHS was Night of the Living Dead and didn't isn't that
a program show? Now? Well no, no, no, you're yeah,
you're thinking of the Walking Dead, but no, the originally that yeah,
the original Night of the Living Dead. Because there was no copyright on
it, like there was one hundred versions of it out there on VHS.
It was hilarious. And uh, I listen, I go all the way
back to Beta Max And when there was Beta Max tapes out in the seventies,
it was hilarious. It was three hundred bucks to go ahead and buy
a copy of like say Star Wars in nineteen seventy nine, it was hilarious
the amount of money. And actually, the funny thing is Beta Max was
a better quality tape. The VHS took off, but the Beta Max was
better. Yeah, VHS ended up cornering the market. I know that this
particular tape Thrilling, Chilling, Amazing plays in Sports Volume three. It has
a manufacturer's suggested retail price of nineteen ninety five, right, twenty bucks.
I paid less than that, I can tell you, even with inflation these
days, I got it very cheap. Is that. We got that also
from the from the the shirt sales. Yeah, in the shirt sales,
right at the thrift store. That's what. Yeah, this was yes,
yeah, well then, yes, yes we did that. There's all sorts
of great. We have some good. We have a couple of good disk
stories here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we had at one of them
I got this tape from. Actually has excellent collection of books, like one
of the better book collections i've seen in one. No, no, that's
our third start. That's where that's from. I was just wondering because I
know you went in one way, we went the other when we went to
look at the shows. Yeah, it's a really good thrift start. Good
clothes good books. Some of the weird house knickknacks end up being cool sometimes,
like weird pictures for your wall. They one time they had a photo
of I think it was a band playing live. It was some big rock
band, I can't remember, but it was a photo somebody took from a
concert, like an old thirty five millimeters photo that they took a picture of
and then they framed it and then that was in there, Like weird stuff
like that. I was like, Oh, that's kind of cool, Like,
yes, you never know what you're going to see in there. I
love them. Cool good stuff. Cool. But yeah, we also get
our VHS tape, so if you subscribe to Uncles, you too, Yeah,
listen to it and and when we get up put it on. We'll
put it on and then have it sit. Then when we've seen it,
we put my car in it. Yes, we can send it down back
to them, so that way another way we get people. Another promotional trick
we figured out. We figured out how to creative out here. Yeah,
and we take it right back to their story with the Uncle cart in there,
and we give the rating that we gave it on the back of the
carts that people know how we feel about it. Yeah, and it just
seems to be a real good way of doing business. And that's the way
we do business for my show. That's where bring some more customers over to
me, bring them in here because that way, you know. But yeah,
you may call into the show. We've got Jimmy on the line.
But you may join us three one seven five zero one six or skype Charles
Dotter Chillian Skype. You type him a message and he calls you. Or
call three one nine five seven five zero one six. This is Friday Night

Toby went crack street crank. What No, twenty one? Wait a
minute, it's a blackjack blank blank and am listen and and and and and
I got the lady's attention. I send it out to him in the chat.
In the chat room, I had to change to my first name because
there's too many big dogs. Yeah, there was a bunch of them.
I never hold for me, I know so, but but so I said
my my my original name. But now god, yeah that one. But
because of that and the lady actually hood me, it was shocking. I'm
gonna have this done next week. Uncle. Uncle is very used to the
chat room, obviously from doing the show, but he's not used to actually
being in the chat room himself and using it. This is like kind of
like a first chance for him to do that full immersion. Yeah, yeah,
he in the metaverse. See he got all the woods. You put
a loan from him, I should loan from his give him, give some
lessons to sidekick Robin. Send me an email with all the best words I
should be using podcast. Great immersion. Great, I'll give you that one
today and just ad him to him. Because you guys were pretty immersed in
the games room there. What was going on there? S out of your
video You're at the Castle Funhouse or something? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
that was. Yeah, Robin's talking about the video I posted to your Instagram
today. It's a reel I made. Remember when we went to Castle Park
and we were in the arcade and now it's a real on Instagram and YouTube.
Oh it is, yes, it is, hey sidekick. Excellent work,
excellent. Look they're doing something like the content for the people out there.
Yeah, yeah, I gotta give him some give an APF. Was
that exciting to watch, Robin? It's a good video. Yeah. I
saw Uncle's Olympic chops coming out in his technique there. Oh yeah, the
reeling of that fishing rod or whatever. Yeah, I could tell. I
could tell uncles an athlete get the moves. Yeah, it's a fun time
uncle. Arcades. Actually, Uncle, I'm not sure if you're aware of
this, but there are entire YouTube channels dedicated to people going to arcades like
that and just making videos over and over where they're doing that. Have you
seen those, Robin? I can't say I have found that side of the
internet. No. Yeah, my kids introduced that one to me and like,
okay, this guy just goes to arcades all day and makes videos.
Okay, each arcade might have like obscure games that you know, might be
neat to see or something they like, this guy's got the one and only
Scubity Bop number one. That's it. Yeah, you know, yeah at
the university boo. You Jimmy, I was just gonna say I read where
Magnavox really uh screwed the poop. In the early fifties, the guy that
invented video games offered them pretty much table tennis that they could have had built
into their TVs in like the early fifties. Oh, but they said,
nah, now we'll pass on that. And in the seventies they were back
at them, and so they did try it. But twenty years later,
can you imagine the nineteen fifties if they had something like that playing some pong
on the TV back then? Yeah? Cool, all right? Why not?
Why not start him out right? That would have inspired the inspired the
the next generation of of nerds. A bit earlier. Mm hmm, that's
all about gaming these days, we would have gone to where we are now
a little quicker. Maybe we would have already been in the view. Yeah,
so waiting to I tell you guys, I tell you guys something,
Wait until next week. Well, I have a lot of people in the
chat chat and wait, are you gonna recruit all your poker people earlier?
We're gonna send him out, that's questions. He's gonna talk, So why
kick he is gonna talk? And we're gonna get going. If you don't
get any any robots that come over and and then take over the chat trying
to sell us bitcoin, n cooins or something, you know, bitcoin bots,
Uncle might get hey, but you just watch. You gotta be careful
in the chat you got you know, you'll know, you'll know the bots
when they pop up. You can see them. I would like to actually,
after Man'm doing these shows for so much long, so much long,
I wouldn't mind it be in one chat, just to see what it looks
even, you know, that's what That's what I would like to see.
No, well, you know what the OLI dot com chat bike, right
uncle, we got right here. See that's the ol dot com chat room.
See that's on Chuck's website, which is right here. See here,
it is right here. So this is like you listen to our show up
here, you press that button, and then down here people chat that.
Look, I'm gonna chat check it out. I'm chatting right now. Hey,
I'm chatting. I'm gonna be an anon. I'm chatting a temper anonymously.
Yeah, check it out. Now, I'm gonna be all hyped up
on the fact that I'm in a non Hello fellow anons. Now we didn't
get It's really great. Wait, hold on, it's really great being an
anon. We man, this chat is really getting excited. Now I'm hearing
them. They're kicking on my eaves. See that. See how that works?
That cool? I mean talking about the chatom and they really took and
I start saying, wake up, chat They kicking them eaves, Now wake
up. They're looking up. Well, at least we know that they am.
Oh yeah, guy, Jimmy, that guy. Okay. Another fascinating
fact about that guy the work for Magnavus. Do you ever wonder why we
call remote coatrols clickers? This guy in the fifties. One of his big
events, it's was the remote patrol and he kind of made them look almost
like a gun. And this, of course, they had a big influence
in the future. On the Star Trek, the original series, the ray
gun is used. The thing they used, you know, heavily influenced the
aesthetics. Oh god, you know this is this is right? Hold on,
this is almost like right on time. Somebody's dumping some spam into the
twitch chat room. Count Popper, Count Pupper is there? Hello, Count,
I'm glad to see you. However, I'm gonna dump. Yeah,
the bots are on the I called the bots in, but get on the
get on the head. But we got to hear this problem. He's got
foolhardy cow decks. Get out of here. Yeah. I just got rid
of it. So there we go. So we cleared up the chat right
there. We got rid of this one. You're playing the chat and playing
with the chat room when you expect you're gonna get. That's with the chat,
you get the chatter. That's what you get. Good point, chattering
teeth. Yeah, but we took care of that problem. Yeah, yeah,
I like that noise got in my ears. You get out of here.
That's some as MR right there. Chatter. Oh yeah, yeah,
Uncle, we need to do more as MR videos. What's this video?
He can I recommend one? Yeah? What do you? Oh, here's
a sequence I'd like to hear with a SMR. First we got First,
we got uncle breathing kind of heavy, all right, It's like he's he's
like he's waking up in the morning, he's getting ready. He's breathing a
bit heavy. Then he puts the teeth in and we hear but of chattering
as the teeth. Okay, it's just and then and then he makes and
then he makes a sandwich, and we hear all the slopping of the of
the mayonnaise, and this our crowd and stuff. Oh yeah, away,
I got some more sound crowd there, Yeah, we got a fresh jar
of it, God help us. Then we hear and then we hear a
little soda pop, can't open up, and then a little that's all.
That's a full SMR video right there, both people. You're gonna be serious
here. I'm waiting on on getting a bag of meat for a second one
day to make a meatloaf. I make a meatloaf. I make a good
meatload. Yeah yeah, we do need to do that. And just go
to the store and ask get mean big size panca. Only uncle loop it
up for us and have those women step away from the kitchen, my alien.
Please. The only thing they're allowed to do is run a camera that
record you. That. That will be it. Other than that, No,
you are making the meal. We we'll do that. Yeah, we
we that's some prime. That's what that's on next meal. If that's what
you dies was thinking about. That cut the bag open, you shaped the
meat into a loaf and that it's done well unless Yeah, but you can
put some ingredients into it? Oh, what people would want? I like
me? Like me, I would like some a little bit of onions.
So why would put a little bit of onions in it? Mention anybody else
what they want? And what would you want? OK? So you are
taking requests on this recipe. Yeah, recipe for somebody who wants to know
what they can put in it. Maybe put a little bit of pepper in
there. I'll ask count peppers asking if you put sour kraut in your chili?
Do you do that? Uncle? No, I haven't tried it yet.
You do, Robin? You do love them? No? I was
kind of wondering the same. I don't. I've never done it. No,
what do you think even of that Jimmy? Hold on him? What
he'd say? Give me? Probably put something funky in his chili? What
does he got? No? No, no, I don't put I'm not
a sour crop fan and I'm a pre traditional chili eater. Oh well,
well, because you heard about what I'm gonna do. So since he since
a northern man, excited to talk about get back to making making stuff that
will be the first thing on my mind to do, to put it on
the champion in the room. That's the thing that we do. We do
have to do that. So that's the first one. What you were saying
was right, we haven't been doing it, but that was my first meal
that I was going to do. You could put some jalapenos in there,
well, spicy. Well, I know some people like him, some people
don't. That might that might be a no no for the kids, right,
I'm going well, would know who would eat and we know you would
eat them. I mean, but no one else would like something hot unless
your wife would. May she may? I think she could see me a
person lying on the spice roll, and maybe her after me, and then
maybe I can do it in half half of one side, half of a
jalapeno. Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna experiment on something on today in
my in my supper. Who was good m he's a hot man too.
There add things as halipinos. Sometimes you'll get one that's like super hot,
and then other times to get one that's like almost even mild. They really
you know what you're getting into if you fry them, if you fry them
up, they kind of all go a bit mild. Hm hmm. That's
a mile with the onions though. I like an onion taste, but within
cooked going to be pretty tasty because I like my onions because I've been eating
onions with my salads. But but right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that would be Yeah, you're playing raw. Yeah, there's another video.
Here's another video. Let's see a video of Uncle eating a raw onion.
It was another one. Have you ever done that? Uncle? I know
you know what I did one time, Uncle, is I juiced an onion.
I drank the juice and that did go over too well? What did
that taste? Like? I was, why did you go to to that
like that that Santa claus wine? Yeah, but a lot like fast forward,
A much quicker than the Santa claus wine. It was it burns.
I could feel burning in my stomach. Yeah, that one was rough.
That was where what prompted that some health health I think it was boredom,
probably back in Ohio. It's just when your boys were sitting around there making
yeah. Yeah, we had a juicer and we've been using the juicer,
like, yeah, let's juice the son you and I was like, yeah,
I'll do it. I put that thing in there. Okay, I
drank. It was like, oh okay, that's how it goes. Is
that on one of your videos? Maybe I have a lot of videos that
sort of stuff, but that one was not recorded though. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, I was just for the ether. Yeah, just for fun.
You know, sometimes you just gotta do it for fun. So it
was. It was a good time. Any any other uh yeah, hold
on it. I want to find out if there's any other collers out kind
of get the call in callers. Are you out there? Call Yeah,
at the moment, I don't have any other callers. We just got Jimmy
James on the phone and Robin on the skype. Okay, I need I
mean, did you say you're not at home right now or something? Oh?
Me, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy tell telephone telephone. Oh so I'd
like to hear I would like to hear some ladies. When lady that time
when he was listening to uh what was her name? I've been holding him
for a while. We've got a few women, have some colors from Spain
there what was that lady from Spain's name? Or Portugal? Was it?
Oh? Yeah, that one, that one is Spain, Spain. I
always forget her name, and it's yeah, yeah, I know, I

No, no, man, what is her name? I know it,
I can't think of it. Oh, we've gotten them thinking tonight.
And this is the thing that Jimmy Nolan says, right, No, that's
not right. There's four of us on the line and none of the Lara.
There we go. You got it, Lara Laura. You guys call
her that, but that's not no, but that's what she settled on when
yeah, no, no, it's it's it's yeah, it's a pseudonym,
but that's what And that's fine. But I can never remember. Why can't
I remember? Laura? That is the most simple name. Really, I
got right righting on the wall here, just put on the wall, put
something put Yeah, but you guys are ready for Chinese New Year. Yeah,
it's coming up. That'll be a good time Chinese. You're in the
dragon, I think, right, would dragon wood dragon? That's different than
the right our dragon. Well, every I learned this to the last year.
Every year has the animal, but then it also goes it goes cycles
through the elements you know. Oh okay, I didn't know. Last year
was the I think last year was maybe the water rabbit. M interesting,
the old school elements, the fire water. Yeah, I don't know.
What's not really an element, but maybe maybe maybe it's Earth. One would
think it would equate to Earth, right, that might be the new That's
the Chinese Pokey Verse. It's been going for thousands of years. There you
go. All we need now we need in this podcast is somebody from China.
Oh yeah, that would be good. That would be good, that
would really that would get on just changing up. Yeah, I gotta say
I've only ever seen a couple of people on my website from China. Only
a few, very very few over the years. I'll call, I'm call
the podcast might be bound in Shato. You never know. Yeah, I'm
thinking, what do you mean? What do you mean by that? They've
got restricted internet over there. It's a very subversive broadcast. I didn't know.
I'm gonna know because I didn't know that. Yeah, especially when you're
associated with sidekicks Government Hour. He's always criticizing. No, that's his personal
owl. Yeah, but there's gonna have nothing to do with his side of
the owl. Yeah, but the problem is there's weird rules in every country,
right, so like you go to like, like, for instance,
in the UK, if you it's technically illegal to make fun of the British
Royalty, right, like, you can't criticize them on airwaves in the UK,
So you could get yourself. You can get your podcast banned the same
way. Believe it or no, it's weird, then then forget it because
I was thinking something. Yeah, everybody has their own national form of sense.
I didn't know, but I didn't know. I didn't notice that.
And since he said that, I didn't know that that was downed. You're
down to ten minutes, by the way, just so you know what you
got left in your broadcast. Good that's exciting. Was being excited here?
You exciting? That's what it is. Uncle. Yeah, No, we're
having a good show here. This is a fun time getting these calls you
got Jimmy, we got ropping. It's a good show. Uncle. Yeah,
I'm not saying it isn't. I never have a bad show. When

that because well, well that guy always been We've been on my show quite
a while. Yeah, if Cooley hasn't been on or Ed. I haven't
heard from Ed and the squirrels a little. Oh the school man, he's
