We are back. It is October twenty ninth, getting toward the end of
the month, getting toward the end of the year. Whenever Halloween rolls around.
You know, that the year is pretty much over. So we did
it. Pat yourselves on the back, everybody. We're making it through this
year. We're still here. For now. Everything seems fine, you know,
like we I knew we'd do this. I knew we'd make it.
You know, it always seems like the world's about to end, but it
never quite does, so you know, don't worry too much about that.
But oh yes, if you want to call into the show, just use

Type him a message. He'll bring you on the show. Or call
three one nine five two seven five zero one six. And something very appropriate
and uh a synchronistic just happened there, just happens to be a black cat
who jumped up next to me in the chair. Is it an omen?
Is it an Is it the spirits of all Hallows Eve? It's not all
Hallows Eve yet, but it will be soon. Is it a harbinger of
the gateways opening between two worlds? Is it just a cat that's in my
room? I can't quite tell which of these it is. It could be
any of them, but he's here, he's sitting next to me, and
this is interesting. So maybe I'll use that black cat energy to summon up
a show that is at least a notch or two above terrible. That's what
we're shooting for by that's my expectations for myself. You gotta you know,
you gotta have goals. You gotta set the bar high, you gotta go,
you gotta go for it. You gotta try. But there's nothing wrong
with being realistic either. You know. We got to remember that now.
You don't have to. You don't want to overextend yourself. You don't want
to over exert. That's how you get an injury. Can be downright and
dangerous. So you just got to know when to slow down, take it
easy. Everything's going to be fine. And I think that's a good overall
message for all of us. Just like remember that, remember the good things
what there are of them there, because there's usually quite a bit when you
think about it, do you have to stop and remember those things? I
do this with myself and with the people close to me. I'm like,
well, remember this, remember that. You know. It's like we don't
have to get too upset about whatever happens to be at the moment, because
you know, whatever, right, it's like, not that big a deal.
We're going to be fine. Halloween's nearly here. The kids are going
to be wearing and costumes. It'll be fun candy. There's gonna be some
candy. That's pretty cool. I guess phase shifter give me a hard time
about saying we've made it through the year when we actually haven't made it yet.
We got two months more. You have good observation. We're not there
yet. That's the other side of this coin, isn't it. We have
to be like, Okay, we're doing good, but you know, don't
drop the ball, don't put your guard down, because we got to make
it to the other side of this thing. If there is another side,
I'm pretending that there is right now. On the other side is January first,
twenty twenty twenty four, because at least, if at least if we
make it to there, we will know that we've made it through Uncles New
Year's Revolution. And there's another one on them in the old archives, so
the world would be that much brighter. Right, We have one more Uncle's
New Year's Revolution that is a graced the digital airwaves, live streaming for four
hours at least every New Year's Eve, Uncles New Year's Revolution and yeah,
it's mark your calendars. We're gonna do one again this year. New Year's
Eve had here at Ochili dot com. Be with us will be live streaming.
It begins only at eight, eight, nine, ten eleven. Yeah,
it begins at eight pm Pacific time, which should be eleven pm Eastern
time, and it goes for four hours. We have a fun get together
New Year's Eve. We celebrate New Year's Eve being brought in across the time
zones. I was having issues with the time zones earlier. Today we do
have a guest on the Uncle Show, and I was tripping over myself remembering
when the stark time for the show was. I eventually figured it out.
So time it's hard to keep track of, you know, get you get
in a routine. The week has its own routine, right, and that's
pretty easy. You just set your alarm, right, you set your alarm,
you wake up, you go through the motions, you go back to
your room at night, you set the alarm again, you wake up,
you do it again. You do that five times a week. But then
when this pesky weekend rolls around, you got to figure out what to do
with yourself. Man, it's easier said than done. You think it's just
you wake up, or you hope. Actually you don't have to wake up,
you hope you just keep sleeping and you wake up. I don't know,
like at noon you wake up, and noon you roll out of bed
and you proceed to sit on the couch and not do a thing. That's
the ideal, right, I think that's the ideal. But I take these
what I like to believe are surveys, which is just me talking to people,
and make note of what they say, what they say, what they're
telling me it is that they do with their lives. And according to that
version of reality, which is shaky at best, I think this is what
people do. They wake up late on the weekend and they don't do anything.
That's not the way it usually works out, at least for me.
I end up having to wake up early again for one reason or another.
I have to do stuff which isn't difficult and don't believe for a second I'm
complaining. It's just you know, expectation versus reality. It's never the same.
And look the big problems here the weekend. Oh boy, I can't
sleep. I want to. I'm just in here whinding away about stuff that
doesn't matter. But maybe maybe i'm not. Maybe I'm actually enjoying things for
what they are. And maybe this isn't so bad because I know that it's
not. It's actually pretty cool, and the routine of the week isn't really
that bad. It's interesting in its own way. If you take the time
during your daily repetitions to just kind of think about what it is that you're
doing, or use your spare time, if that's what it is. If
your mind is able to multitask while you're going through the motions, then maybe
that's actually a luxury. And I do frequently come back to ask, like,
look, my mind is wandering. My mind's wandering. I can pretty
much I'm free right now. Yes, I'm doing XYZ because it's part of
the mandated schedule, but I'm also doing one two three, or maybe it's
the other way around. Maybe it's one two three is what you got to
do in X Y Z is what's in your head, or maybe it's another
string of the letters or numbers. I don't know what they are, but
whatever they happen to be at the time, they change from time to time
depends on your mood. Right and len and behold. Multitasking is a real
thing. Sometimes it seems fake sometimes like it seems like a big play just
to make everything acceptable, make like the insanity we're that is thrust upon us
sounds like it makes sense, you know, like, yeah, you need
a multitask and when you do, you're doing more and you're that's what you're
supposed to do, okay, So yeah, it sounds like something that somebody
made up just to get you to, you know, go along, to
get along or whatever. But maybe maybe it is real. Maybe it's true.
Maybe using your head and living in your own head, at least for
a moment is good because you get to do what you want and you to
think what you want. And again, if you have the luxury to do
that, that's something, right, because I know not everybody does. I
know that's the case. I know a lot of people are totally consumed with
like if you don't give one attention to your prescribed tasks, then there are
gonna be consequences potentially your life right or someone else's life. You know,
if you work in the healthcare industry, other people's lives are in your hands.
I look at people to do that. I don't know how, Like,
I don't know how you can deal with that. I don't. I
don't think I could do it. It's a lot of pressure. I and
if if I were to mess up, I don't know if I could.
I don't know if I could continue. If I if I made a mistake,
you know what I mean, Like that would get to me. But
it can happen at any moment in anyone's day. You can make a mistake
and there can be consequences that you cannot be undone. So we have to
remember that too. So do pay attention, do your best at what needs
to be done, and whatever you can carve out time to think about whatever
it is that you feel as necessary or whatever happens to pop up, and
go for it. I think the point I might be making, and I'm
probably not, is that for a lot of our days and hours, the
time that we exist, we spend them in our own heads. We live
in our own heads. We are our thoughts right. The things that are
going on in our mind are what consumes us. It is literally what commands
our attention, and a lot of things can command your attention. The immediate
is always there, and sometimes if you're losing sight of the immediate, that
gets to be become a grave danger. That's what I was talking about.
You need to pay attention to what you need to pay attention to in order
to continue existing without harming yourself or others. That's just the basic getting along
in the waking world. Sometimes easier said than done, depends on what's going
on with you. Some people end up having issues where they just can't do
that, and that's unfortunate. But for those of us that can, we
are fortunate there and that we can hold it together. We at least have
that much. And going back to counting your blessing blessings, we have that
or those of us that do, we have that. So that's that one
up on the mantle and celebrate it right when you come back at home at
night and think about the good things. That's one of them. Even when
it seems like it's a burden, it's actually a good thing. And the
incredibly mundane, boring, trivial. Sometimes if you look at another way,
it's actually a good thing, and it's nice to be able to do It's
nice to be able to do just regular things, right, regular stuff.
So I will remember that. I do remember that. I hope we all
do. But yeah, we live in our own heads, our headspace,
and a lot I mean, there's a lot of room there in terms of
the headspace realm. Right, there's a lot of things that can come around
to affect your state of mind. And this again, your thoughts. What's
going on in your head is your that is you, that's your existence.
Like whatever you think is going on to you, that is what's going on.
Right. You might be psychotic and you might think things that definitely aren't
happening are but it's crazy to think that to a psychotic that is that's what's
going on. And I think that's what's so horrifying to think about, you
know, such things as like jeez, Louise, like this person sincerely,
I mean, I mean, there's just no way around it, Like this
is what they're seeing. They see this and to them it is happening,
and to me, I can sit back and like act like, yes,
of course it's not. But you know what about for them, what does
that mean? What does that mean that they're living in such a way they're
living in a psychotic state. It's still a person. It's another human there,
another human being who that is their world is something that is just what
do you even call that? I mean, it's it's just it's something that
got into their head due to their condition that is out of their control.
So they can't presumably there's no way to control it, you know what I
mean. I mean, we can sit here and act all cool like oh
yeah, like and you know, you could become a guru or something like,
oh, you will never become psychotic if you follow my method, and
you'll be able to always be in control of everything in yourself and blah blah
blah blah blah blah. But I don't think it probably works that way,
does it. In fact, if you do, you know, start following
somebody who starts talking like that, maybe you might be more prone to falling
into a psychosis at some point in the near future. Perhaps, But I
don't know either way. I'm just saying, so be careful what you think.
Whenever you think that you're better than you know this that the other or
somebody else, or you think that something is beneath you, or you think
something can't happen to you, because if anybody who's paying attention knows that bad
things happen to good people, first of all, nobody can ever predict what
will happen. You know, any given second, what's going to happen next.
Nobody can predict the absolute certainty. You can't do it. And so
this isn't a bad thing. It's just a realization. It's like, oh,
I realize this, and that's you know, one of those almost like
Buddhist sort of things, is where you realize these horrors of the world in
which we live, but you accept them, and you, in your acceptance
of the horrors that exists all around you, you're able to exist in a
peaceful state of mind, come as close to a peaceful state of mind as
is humanly possible. Because it's tough. It is tough to do, isn't
it All sorts of chaos and discord waiting right on the peripheries, it's right
there. And maybe that's what psychosis is. Maybe it's just like the that
enters in and how would it not. I mean, it's right there,
it's right on the edge of you know, the mundane, ever so normal.
This is never going to end existence that we do day in day ass
like, oh I'm fine now, and it's just gonna keep being this way.
And that's what we want to believe. We know, we all know
that the horrible things can happen, but we don't want to think about it.
And if you do, dwell on it. And that's the horrible thing
in and of itself. So back to the necessity of finding peace, finding
a way to accept the seemingly unacceptable. And then you get into the interesting
philosophical questions of life. You get it, maybe you're thinking theologically, and
you get to the age old issue of you know, oh the God,
if there's a god, how could it let this happen? And why it's
impossible no God would ever do this? And I mean, first of all,
I don't know for this is me personally, my take on that particular
little thing. If there's a god, how can you say what in the
world it's doing at all? Right? Is it not? By its very
nature like above and beyond us to such a point where like if we try
to pick apart whatever God's actions are, that we are doomed to fail because
we're so much less than right. We're at such a lower level of existence
understanding that we can't possibly fathom what God is, how it works. Any
sort of ascribing of values is going to be an an anthropomorphization of a deity
first of all, and of course we do that with everything. But as
long as we realize that's what we're doing, and then okay, And I
think that's what a lot of these guys and funny hats over the ages have
been doing. They know full well what they're up to. They know that
any God that exists is so far beyond that. Yes, we can sit
here, we can answer promorphize, and I think they realize, like,
yes, that is what we're doing. We're answer promorphizing, and this is
our particular interpretation. And we know it works in our culture because this,
this, and this, and we're just kind of going with it because you
know, it works, right, it works, It gets the job done.
What is the job keeping the people happy? We know, by as
we've been saying that is perhaps you know, the twelve tasks of Hercules.
Maybe that's all just you know, a fancy allegory for how does one possibly
attain any degree of happiness in this insanity that we've been thrown into? Right,
see what we're up against here? How are we supposed to do it?
I don't know Hercules did it though, he's pretty cool. So yeah,
the guys in funny hats, if they're smart, they know what they're
doing. If they're not smart, then they believe their own bs honestly,
then that's you know, isn't that always a question at any given time?
Like, oh, does this kook really believe this? Or is it just
you know, is it his bread and butter? Right? Is the evangelical
Christians? Do they really believe this? Like the guys who've made their way,
the guys who have made it, you know, maybe they're a televangelist,
they've made their livelihood building up some silly network, some Christian TV network
or whatever. Maybe they're an evangelical politician and they're pandering to their base and
it's worked out pretty good for them. You know, They've they made their
way into Congress, they've cut some deals, right, and it worked out
for him. And you can kind of understand that, right, Okay,
Yeah, this guy's just rolling with it because it's a it's just another scheme,
right, might even be a scam pipe be that makes sense. It's
like, okay, actually that makes the most sense. It's like, oh,
okay, yeah, yeah, he's he's a Charlotte in dirt bag that
will do anything to get by. I've seen a million people like that in
my life and this is just, you know, I guess a glorified version
of that. That makes sense. Now if this person believes what they're saying,
they believe the evangelical lines. I don't know what's that I that I
have difficulty, but I on's why when because again it gets back to like
those basic questions like well what is God? It's like, I don't know,
Go ask God, Go ask God that and and and find out and
maybe if you're lucky, God will talk to you and it won't be psychosis.
If you're unlucky, it will talk to you and it will be psychosis.
So you know, have fun with that one because you're rolling the dice.
When when you get into that realm and we want to get back to
the cult aspect of things, Oh boy, all sorts of ways to keep
oneself into trouble. Out there, and there's there's no shortage of them.
Maintaining sanity, maintaining uh, maintaining a sense of self is it requires a
degree of pretense. You have to know that so many things are just masks
and personas. That's not necessarily a bad thing. You need to do that.
You need to be a certain way in a certain setting. You need
to be a certain person when you're doing a certain But when you're a certain
space, you're doing a certain thing, you become. You take on the
role, so to speak. So you're you're you're an actor, you're acting
out the part. Right. What was that sound? I thought I heard
something? Thing was count chalcula. Oh, there we go. So it
wasn't voices. I'm not psychotic yet. It was an actual uh recording.
There. I didn't recognize that one. I don't know about it. I'm
sorry. I'm trying to drop in Jimmy Schwagger doing his apology when he got
busted because you brought up televangelists. Oh okay, that's who that is.
Yeah, it wasn't that good, I guess, But that's the whole thing.
When he cries, and that's the famous thing. I've sinned against you,
my Lord, and Ozzy Osbourne did a whole thing on it, and
in the song miracle Man. Anyways, just thought I played in there,
dropping in there. I didn't want you to pay much attention to it.
Sorry, yeah, no, no, that's all right. Now that is
familiar now, I know I've seen that. Yeah, oh yeah, it's
his whole thing. And then it became a whole big deal. And then
of course she got to pose the hooker. He had got to pose in
Penthouse or payboy or whatever. But it was, you know, it began,
that's cheer, my little, that's that's cheer, my little. I'm
not gonna keep playing it just it was so over dramatically, ridiculously clearly Jerry
Lee Lewis's cousin. Everybody anyway, sorry, oh man, Jerry Lee Lewis
Ky nice, Okay, Well you didn't know that that that's his cousin.
No, I didn't remember that. No, yeah, no, it's true
story. You could look it up. He was, you know, the
killer I mean, the you know, the Great Balls of Fire. That's
his cousin. Jimmy Schwiger, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, the piano
guy that married an underage woman, right, right, right, yeah,
okay, sure, okay, well it runs into family, I guess the
sin. But again, these that's what happens out there. Things get a
little weird. I mean, that's like the eighties there. Man, that's
a long time ago. So you know anyway, I mean you you could
go into that Jessica Han, the Jim Baker thing. That's why I brought
up the amusement park in the chat room, because you know, Jesus wants
me to build a water slide. You know, was the whole thing with
Sam kitt Is and I. I cracked up every time he's gots. And
the other thing is that this Peter Popov is still out there. You know,
this guy with the miracle water. I don't know if I know him.
He offers you a bag of miracle water. I'm not kidding. You
get the bag of water in the mail. He'll send it to you for
free. You get the bag of water in the mail, you drink the
water, and then you're meant to think that they're gonna send you checks.
So you're just gonna get checks in the mail. All your financial problems will
go away. The miracle water. Yeah, it sounds like I'm leaving things
out right. But I'm telling you that's what the commercial. I want me
to all go find a commercial. Well, I you boy, it's it's
bringing a lot to mine. It's bringing a lot of ugly memories back to
you. Okay, I don't mean to traumatize you. Yeah. The thing
that the thing that actually it brings to mind is Isaac's Road. I think
I've talked about this a few times on the show. Is Isaacs Road out
here on the fifteen Interstate fifteen. I think I always have trouble with interstate
numbers, Like I know how to drive down them, I know where they
all take me, but the actual number of each individual road is difficult.
But if you're driving from here where I'm at in southern California, out to
Las Vegas, Uh, there is an interesting road off of the freeway and
exit called is Isaax. It's spelled zz y z X. Can I see
here? It seems like I see here. It seems like these kids are
just regurgitating Bible versus. I don't know if you really understand. Somebody put
down in the chat room and I accidentally kicked it. So that's okay,
that's okay. Weird things are happening tonight. I didn't mean to play that
other clip five times either, but the cat did it. This is what
happened. Okay, now it's all clear to me. Your cat, your
cat is doing this, not in line. I don't have a cat.
I know, I know my cat. That's that's it. Oh he's gone
now. Oh looks like that is it? Back into the ether with you?
All right? All right, that's how this Halloween's gonna be. But
yeah, Isaacs Road. There was this guy who was I think he's credited
as like the first radio evangelist. Actually he was an early one. He
was on the radio. This is a guy named Curtis Springer. And here
I have an article up here. Okay, this is from Torrisquarner dot net.
Okay, so it says in nineteen forty four, Curtis Springer, a
radio evangelist from Los Angeles, filed a mining claim with the government and used
the mineral springs found there Isaacs Road to create a resort, which he named
Isaacs. The resort drew people from all over to try the false medicines and
enjoyed the relaxation and healing that he provided. However, the government eventually discovered
what he was doing and kicked him and his followers out, eventually giving the
area to the California State University System to be used as a desert research center,
which it is today. There's like these weird like springs out there.
It's out in the desert. And yeah, it's just off the freeway.
If you take the exit to Baker a couple miles down the road, there's
like the back roads will take it to Death Valley National Park. So it's
pretty well out there in the Mojave Desert. And this guy was an early
televangelist and he was doing just that. He was selling mineral waters. You'd
sell all sorts of like tonics and stuff that you could buy from him.
And I think he used is Isaacs as like one of his gimmicks. He
said it's the last word in health, I think is what he said,
because literally it was like the last word in the telephone book. Because he
spelled diz z y z x. He made it that name, so actually
be the last name. Oh, this is a little bit he did.
Okay, well, look you go, you're gonna fix it. He make
sure you get the last thing. And I mean, there's no way anybody's
gonna put something behind that. Yeah, it's good idea. Yeah right.
Well, he was doing all this like back in the forties, and he
was there for many years, and he ran it like a cult, and
he would like coax people out there like hey, if you want to come
out here, you stay here. And you know, he'd be all nicey
at first, but then he'd somehow find a way to gouge your life savings
out of you, you know, and you'd be living there. The streets
were named like Boulevard of Dreams and things like this. They're still named that,
I think today, if you go out to the Desert Research Center,
it still says like Boulevard of Dreams. I tried to go downs Isaac's Road
a year or two ago. We're taking a trip out to Death Valley,
and I was like, we're getting off here, like I want to see
this. I want to get off, and like everybody's yelling at me.
The wife, my sister in law was in the well. You know,
I'm like, we gotta do this, we gotta do this. I pulled
off the road and we drove down it a little ways and then this ranger
pulls us over. He was yelling at me. And this was just at
the beginning of the COVID thing. This is twenty to twenty. He didn't
have a mask. He was yelling, spot that spit was flying on our
spy. What are you doing? You see the sideback like, it's all
right, it's all right, we'll leave. I'll hit the highway and we'll
hand off. The Death Valley calmed down, so we turned around. We
left. So I didn't get to see the Boulevard of Broken Dreams. I
didn't get to see any of that. But I maybe I'll go back and
it'll be opened back up again. I don't know, but I don't know.
Just mentioning that it makes me think of that, and well a couple
of times real fast. You have a caller number one, number two.
I just put a link for Peter Popov's Miracle water link that I found.
It is funny because in the commercial that I caught, it just hit me
up side the head. When I was watching, was I looking at?
Oh? I was looking at They have now made new silver dollars. The
US men has issued these new silver dollars. So I was looking at one
of those, you know, buy o sober dollar collection you know things.
Late at night. I was looking at it and all of a sudden it
goes to another commercial, and the other commercial was Peter Popov and his miracle
water. And I went, okay, And it's funny because these people in
the commercial were saying they drank the water. And at the very top of
the thing on his website it says, note do not ingest the miracle springwater.
The topical the miracle spring water is a powerful biblical point of contact.
Almost all of the miracles in both the Old and New Testaments happened when a
point of contact was used. I believe the miracle springwater will help you to
use and release your faith as we agree together for the miracle. You need
no kidding. This is what do not note in big red letters, do
not ingest the miracle springwater. I'm not kidding. So, but the commercial
as these people on there going I drank it. I had checktion the mail.
I had all my you know, they got checktion the mail. I
from what I don't know. I guess you know what this is, Chuck,
is it's a test of faith, right, because if you have faith,
you're going to read that one and go God's God's here in charge of
this. I'm not gonna this is miracle water. I can drink it.
That could be fine. Hey, God can care anything. Okay, right,
it's a test of faith. That is exactly what it is. Hey,
Look, I cannot even begin to argue with or know what everybody's strategy
is with these things anymore. I give up. So you could be very
very right, or you know what, Jimmy James might have a different view
on it. He's waiting on the line. Okay, we'll go to him
in a second. But obviously Peter Popov picked a peck of barracle water and
it was good. I mean it says that in the Bible unless I'm mistake,
and like it doesn't say that in the commercial. But I could have
swore. These people in the commercial were like, I drank the water and
I got these checks. I'm very sure. Maybe I was tired, and
I tell you, you know, dizzy from staring at these cool coins because
they're remaking the Morgan Dollar and the Peace Dollar, and they're putting them out
there like we have these brand new silver coins. You can buy them straight
from the you know, and and I like silver coins, so I was
looking at it, and I'm like, okay, and then the next thing
I know is getting hit with drink the miracle water, you know, and
I'm like, okay. It was probably like three four in the morning.
Anyhow, I'm sorry, I totally derailed this whole conversation. But creative access,
what's uncle to rate? Well, you can apparently he'll send it to
you for free. The link I just gave you there you could get a
free bag of miracle water sent to you. Oh wow, what a deal.
I'm just telling you, what what's the catch to that one? I
don't know know? There is one I don't know. It says you enter
your prayer information, all that, and then they'll send you this miracle water
if you give me your address. That's what it says. I think.
I think I'll go with the mineral springs water at Isaac Strode if I can
ever make it back there. I think that's gonna be my personal mineral mineral
water. I think a good old Curtis Springer I go. He seems right
to me. I go locally to the Creek Indians because they have a sacred
spring and you can go there. They let you fill up your bottles of
water if you want, you know, for nothing, you can just go
there and do that. And it's you know, the water is filled with
minerals and it it actually is good. It's just you know, straight natural
spring. Oh yeah, there's there's one like that up off of but what
is it. It's it's this road that goes up into the mountains you go
into Azusa, I think it's the thirty nine Highway goes up into the mountain
and you pull off a the side of the road when you're pretty high up
and just water. There's like a little mini waterfall right and rocks and you
put your water bottle up to it and the water is possible and it's it's
it's great. It's like cold. It's it's like the best water you've ever
drank. It's good, so good. The Creek Indian things, same thing.
It's cold. It's already you know, even on a hot day,
it's cold. All that. You know what, I got that Peter Popov
commercial. Let me see if it makes me play another commercial, we can
Oh, it's gonna make me play hang on it. We're not going to
play whatever this other craft commercial is along with Get Ourselves in trouble that way
secure site through Wick. What about let's go, let's go to colder.
Should we go to short faith now by calling for your free packet of miracle
spring water? Hang on a second, here we go anyway. My husband
brought the spring water, but I drank it, and I'm speaking today.
I had no speech, don't part and now I'm testifying. You have sent
me the water and I used it. If you told me I was going
to get a check for seven thousand dollars, so I got a check in
the middle it was exactly seven thousand dollars. This faith tool will help you
to see liberation from the bondage of d free. I want to send it
to you, no obligation, Okay, I told you. See Now,
I flipped through the commercial and I found the lady with the seven thousand.
But she's not the only one. She says seven grand. Somebody else said
they got many checks. Oh in this commercial. I got three four checks.
And what a deal you're getting chicks like, Look, all I got
to do is drink a bag of water and people are gonna start sending me
checks for thousands of dollars. I mean, I'm in ellly, Yeah,
yeah, it's you know, it sounds good. Sure, Okay, I
just I wanted to prove that I wasn't crazy because I'm sitting there going wait
a minute, it says don't drink it, But meanwhile, that lady said
she drank it, right, I do you know why? It wasn't even
paying attention. I'm to see what the hell she did with it. I
just heard the seven thousand dollars check and say, okay, well, I
don't know. At least I'm partially right then. Anyway, I'll shut up
now, and if you want to do whatever you want to do, is
you're showing me the hijacket. Nah, No, I mean, I mean
we're talking about black cats and sycosis and things, televangelists, televangelists and all
that good guys with funny hats, all that kind of stuff. So you
know, anything goes tonight with that. Let's go to the phone lines.
Okay, caller, you're on the air. Wow, that's really weird because
I used to there's this guy named Peter pop Off. He used to send
me checks to pee and bags. James Cora, it all makes sense.
He Wait a minute, there was this guy named Peter popwom used to send
me bags to pee and then I would mail that nice. In other words,
if you got the miracle spring water, you might have gotten Jimmy James,
miracles ringwater got you. Okay, yeah, that's it's all coming together
now now it actually makes sense. Now it's beginning to make sense. So
you're you're blessed in this way, Jimmy James. Well, I feel cheap
that I didn't get no seven thousand dollars checks. I got like three dollar
checks. So it only costs three bucks for you to pee in a bag.
You know, you could probably make a better living in some places and
three dollars a bag. Yeah, they're odd profits up. Look, you
used if you use the facilities, you just throw money away. That's what
due to Papa told me. Enough. So that's that's the other end of
his business that you don't hear about on the commercial. Okay, we can
insider information here. This is an exclusive you're to hear first breaking news.
Well I didn't, Hey, I didn't play the whole commercial. No way,
no coracle. Real people with real needs are receiving real life changing miracles
when they used the miracle spring water. My husband brought the spring water,
and I drank it, and I'm speaking today. I had no speech,
totally paralyzed, and now I'm testified. You have sent me the water and
I used it. You told me I was going to get a check for
seven thousand dollars. Sure enough, I got a check in the mill.
It was exactly seven thousand dollars. This faith tool will help you to see
liberation from the bondage of that spring. I want to send it to you,
no appligation to call me. When you told me to annoint my check
book. Yesterday I received a letter from over forty five thousand dollars to my
second words was people, get the spring water. Drink the spring water,
or whatever is you need to do. But it really works to see.
Now, no, wait a minute. Now the way said drink The first
woman said she drank it for sure, yes, and now this other woman
said the other way. Annoy kept hearing is that they kept saying I used
it. I didn't hear anyone specifically saved drink. Oh yeah, first woman
did. Hold on, the first woman did, and this one did.
Here hold on, Jimmy James, I'll play for you, all right,
drink the spring water or wherever here brought one more time. Second work just
pep off, get the spring water, drink the spring water or whatever.
See drink the spring water or whatever you gotta do with it. The other
way, that lady definitely said drink. Yeah, yeah, she said whatever
it takes, basically, And there was do what you gotta do, even
though it says not to. If you have to, you got it.
And the one woman that looks like she want me ask you this, the
one woman that looks like she might be cousin. Sorry, the one woman
that said she looks like she might be Sharre's cousin over there. That one
said to anoint her check book with it. That's what she did. Let's
see if there's any other instructions before we get to your comment, Jimmy James,
hold on net to do with it? It really works. Release your
faith now by calling for your free packet of miracle springwater. It's free just
for calling. Okay, there was no other instructions there. I just wanted
to see if there was. Go ahead, Jimmy James. Sorry, well,
I was just thinking in defense of pet Peter Papa, how would this
be any different than physicians prescribing placibos. Aren't they both basically doing the same
effect for the same reason. Oh, I don't care that he's doing it.
I just point out that it's just you know. But like I said,
lady says, I drink the springwater. I got my money. I
got the one said forty five thousand. That was a lot paid over second
mortgage. Nice, which do whatever you had to do, get it.
I get it now. Not bad. By the way, his uncle's guest
is the I think maybe uncle's guest might be on the line because we have
another caller, and I'm thinking that might be all those guests. I don't
know. Why can you tell if it's in Texas? If the answer is
yes, then that should be who that is. And if so for seven
nine area code, hang on a second, let me let me find out
where the four seven nine area code is and you can keep talking to Jimmy.
All right, okay, okay, yeah, yeah yeah. If so,
I'll just say briefly thank you, guests, and hang in there.
We'll be switching over here as the alur turns over and we will be going
right to you, and I'm looking forward to that. But in the meantime,
Jimmy, are you doing okay? Man? You were away for a
week and you feeling okay? I hope? Uh well, I wasn't yesterday
and I could uh a lot burger today. Good looks like arkansaw Aaron Arkin,
Arkansas? Bill? Let's uh okay. In that case, it may
be the guest, but that's all right. Let's go to the caller.
We're gonna go to the caller and see. So let's here, so new
caller. Yep, you are on the air. Hello. What's your name?
And are you calling from Arkansas? Actually I'm calling from Houston, Texas.
I have an Arkansas cell phone. There you go, I thought maybe
yep. Yeah, Arkansas was the location of the Canavial of the ozarks By
compound up there until I sold it. Got it? Got it? All
right? Cool? This is the guest for Uncle show. Yeah, yes,
yes, this is William correct. You can call me Bill, Bill,
Okay, Bill, all right, Bill. Well, it's great to
have you on. Do you want to hang on for five minutes and we'll
go to you and you will be the guest. Sure, cool, cool,
we'll be back to you. Man, Just hold hold on there,
and I can't wait to talk to you man. Thank you for coming on
the show tonight. Yes, I'm gonna put William on hold or Bill.
Sorry, I don't know if he wants me to call. Maybe I don't
have the invitation. We'll put William on hold. Jimmy James is back on
the line with you though. All right, what's going on? Jimmy?
You feeling okay? Oh? Yeah, well I'm feeling well. Let me
ask you this what what what hits you in the gut? Worse? Bull
from Night Court? Dang or Chandler from Friends? Oh there's a tribune?
Uh yeah, I know that Matthew Perry just did die yesterday, Danny in
his in La. I think he was right here. So and Bull from
Night Court passed away on Friday. I think he did. Okay, See
I didn't even know that, so I has to by default the answer is
Matthew Perry because I didn't know about that other one. Well, let me
ask you this there and real quick. Are you into the impression that Bull
died years ago? Yeah? I thought that he did. Now when you
mentioned that, I thought, I was like, oh yeah, remember when
he did. This is comparable because it's another TV guy, right, that's
what I was thinking. Yeah, but no, he just died on Friday.
But apparently there was a false report of him dying some years ago,
So it's not a Mandela thing. It was a false report some years ago
of Richard mal dying. Interesting. Yeah, yeah, I thought he died
ten years ago. Me too. That was the thing. I was like,
wait a minute, didn't he isn't he already dead? While Yeah,
yeah, but no, it turns out there was some big false report that
came out. But because I was double checking it live on the Friday Show,
let me ask you this. In my world, Dan Fielding also died
a few years ago, and yet he's going to be on the new night
Report. So he's apparently not you mean John Lawrope yet yeah? Oh yeah,
yeah, yeah, he's still around. Wasn't even aware of his status.
Actually, John Lowell kid, they're making a new night Court for sure,
now, huh yeah, well maybe less like Clean all the Bulls team.
But I don't think they necessarily needed Well for night Court, right,
I mean, well, he was kind of the most beloved guy on the
original show, and I think he was going to be involved with it.
Well, it would have made sense if he made some cameos or whatever.
But yeah, yeah, well, I was just gonna say I read the
Dan that guy's gonna go back and play Dan Fielding as a I's weird.
I thought he was dead too. Yeah. No, he's still alive.
Apparently he started his acting career in nineteen seventy four, so notable credits the
John la Roquette Show at one point, and a matter of fact, he's
in the movie JFK. If you if you remember in the director's cut,
you remember that Jimmy James. No, no, who did he play?
I don't remember him in there? Oh yeah, he plays the like the
Johnny Carson esque character, the one. Okay, yeah, I guess I
yeah, he's the talk show guy that you know, kind of ambushes or
sandbags Garrison on TV. And it's John la Roquette like playing the Johnny Carson
esque character. Because they couldn't do a full on Carson. They would have
sued the crap at him. Even though it was a real thing that happened,
he was still in charge, still the show going. He still had
enough to cause big problems for somebody in the early nineties. Johnny Carson.
Yeah, sure, that's funny uncle, and I watched Johnny Carson on VHS
tape yesterday. How about that? I was wondering if you had a VHS
to that because there were tons of those best of the Carson Show tapes that
were sold by Yes. Yes, it was one of those that we watched.
It was only half an hour long and it had some of those like
animal clips was all it was. It was, ye, a half hour
tape. That's the crazy thing is they put together those boxes of like twenty
VHS tapes, right, They're all like a half hour long, and so
that you get like one or two a month to try and fill out your
collection. You got a subscription, yes, yeah, so it was back
in the days of like say Columbia House, where you know, you paid
way too much for a freaking album and stuff like that. But also the
time Life series, the books everything you get stuff in a series. So
the Johnny Carson was and was like, will send you two tapes this month.
You know, I had a special introductory price of nine to ninety nine,
and then you passed twenty dollars every month and you'll get a brand new
Carson. Yeah that's interesting. Yeah, that's for sure. What that was
then, because that's all it was, was a half an hour just animal
clips. It's on. It's ever. It was weird. It was released
in the year two thousand. Yeah. I love finding stuff like that at
broad sales or flea markets. It's like, oh wow, look at that.
That was part of the Time Life series of whatever. You know.
They did everything from creepy stories to uh, you know, how to fix
your house to uh, you know, everything a video and book form of
just about anything you could think of. Time like that series. Yeah,
we were World War two. They've done DHS. Yeah, it was World
War Two, and then after they did the first World War two set and
that was about done with its run. Then they came back out World War
Two in color. Yeah. That was the big thing because you know,
people are like, oh, there's no color film. There's plenty of color
film around in World War Two. It just wasn't used commonly. So there
was plenty of opportunity for there to be color film, but it was a
little more rare and it's use. So most of what you used to see
on World War Two was in black and white. And then they were like,
now we have it in color. So yeah, well I think with
this, it's a perfect segue to the Uncle Show. I think we'll just
go to that now, because you know, we got the guest here and
all that, and we're ready to go, so I think we can close
the book on this black Cat edition of the Age of Transitions. There you
go so big times that. Jimmy James for calling in, and I'll shut
up and put you on hold. Jimmy. We'll see what we're gonna do
with the second hour. But we know we have a guest coming up,
So enough out of me. Aaron, you go ahead and handle your business
here for the last minute or two, and we'll have an even hour for
the Age of Transitions and we'll be transitioning into Uncle the broadcast. Yeah,

or if you're standing up the batter got ready for this because it's gonna hit
the head head drum. I'll go to the podcast. You are listening to
Uncle the broadcast. My name is Aaron. I'm the nephew in law.
Here is the starting show, Uncle. It is Comedy Our People, three
hundred and fourteenth episode. This is the comedy hour, No Business, His
business show Business Uncle, not your business is out this hour. I know.
Oh my guest number one. Let's see who this guess is. I've
been trying to figure it out who it was. We do have a guest,
I'm asking the guest man, you calm down, okay, side kick,
uncle, your mission is to ask the guest. Guess what am I
asking? Well, I don't know. You seem so sure of it.
A second ago to say who's on in mine? And who's a guest for
tonight? That's what I was trying to say. Okay, all right,
Hello, I'm here. My name is Bill Virick. I'm the owner and
builder of the Many nine oh five art car, which has a nine foot
space shuttle on top. When do you think of that? Uncle? This
is a guy who has a Mini Cooper? Is his car? Really confused?
And on top on top of his car is a miniature space shuttle.
Wait, I've seen pictures on people social media this thing I know I have
with the space shuttle on top of the car. Yeah, you know we're
watching these videos. I guess we're we're watching these videos and the one was
making making cars. We were we didn't watch one of those like that,
And I was wondering if you knew anything about that kind of thing, low
guests, about making cars, Yeah, making art cars or just makeing like
assembly line vehicle production bill they hand, they hand a production of the cause
to be built, and as there was the kids, it was the kids
looking at it. You're talking about making special cars, uncle, right,
like this one with the Space Shuttle on it. How much does he know
about making custom cars? Is that what you're asking? Yeah, customer,
Yeah, that's a customer cause. Okay, yeah. So Houston has a
huge art car movement. And while I've been to art car events all over
the country in my first art car and then also this current one, Houston
is the largest. Houston has about two hundred and eighty entries each year.
So it's a really big parade of really eclectic cars, all embellished way beyond
the mundane, and it attracts three hundred thousand spectators every year. It's huge.
Okay, well built. I'm showing uncle the pictures of your car right
now. So you see this, uncle, Yeah, see that it's a
Mini Cooper club Man and on the roof is look, it's it's a Now
is that a scale version of a Space Shuttle? Bill? It is pretty
accurate, about one twelfth one thirteenth scale. And you know, as a
kid, I built plastic model. Kids. I built every different Space shuttle
model that was out there. This is just a little bit okay, yeah,
press construction because it's outdoors in the elements all the time. Believe it
or not. It won't fit in the garage. It won't because you have
that thing on the top and it doesn't fit the type because it don't hand
the room right. Tall, right, that's what I meant. It's ninety
tall. It won't go through a car wash in the garage. Man.
That means you can't wash it either. It's a handler. Yeah, that's
my hand, and it takes it takes two hours because you're it's like washing
two cars. Oh sure, sure, got it, got it? Whoa
nice uncle? What do you think of this? What? What has What
do you think that Bill has got himself into? You think this is a
great thing? Or you think like he's is he making too much work for
himself having to wash such a car? Or is making an interesting thing in
something? It's interesting? Right? Yeah? And maybe maybe in the future,
maybe if you decided to want to do something like this, make it
for the people like these electricas, Oh, go to the assembly line round
like start producing these things. That's what I was asking him. Yeah,
I actually make Christine. I lived in clear Lake, south of Houston,
which is right where Johnson's Center is the man Space Center man Flight Space Center.
So I need a lot of interesting astronauts and engineers, and usually they're
family members. They want to tell me all about their involvement in the space
Shuttle program because they all worked on it. And so I meet a lot
of interesting people. But you know, I hand out a lot of postcards,
a lot of stickers to kids. I do you know. I've done
parades, I've done car shows. I was at the wings Over Houston air
Show two weekends ago, and I did a little fall festival yesterday. I
like to tell people, you know, I'll do weddings all the barnments as
if I if you want me to. Yeah, now, if I'm not
mistaken, I believe our friend Crazy Accidents met Bill at the air show.
He just mentioned that you have met I think you met a listener of ours.
He never talks on the phone, but buy I think so yeah,
yeah, so so that's that's that's right. We got we got a referral,
so we're glad to have that. And yeah, it's an air show.
I mean it makes sense that an air show it's got the Space Shuttle
is air and space. Okay, it's actually it also sounds like it also
has a know how, we have a of shows every couple of years on
airplanes. It'd be something like that, exactly like that, that's actually like
that, exactly exactly like Ellington Air Force Base where the Space Shuttle when it
was being ferried from California back to Florida, California, they had to get
the shuttle back to Florida. It would land in Houston and refuel at Ellington
Air Force Base where this air show took place. It was a familiar sight
for everyone there, a local legend. No less, you know how you
know how when they take off with the rock right, Oh yeah, it
starts in Florida, it goes to California, then they refuse, it goes
back to Florida to get a new getting another one show up. I think
that's how it's it's licking you, okay, you like a U shape.
It goes up, it goes to the upward part of the atmosphere, it
turns back around and comes down to almost back down on to us side,
making a U shaped shake. That's how it works, is it. No?
No, well that's how well, that's how they would good space shadow
people. Sometimes it seems that way. That's how the wood. Okay,
So I I put a picture of the the Mini Cooper with the shuttle on
top of it in the chatroom at ochelly dot com for people to see,
uh in case you know, you're not able to visualize it out there.
This way you can take a look at it. You click on it,
you can see it. Yeah, it's got the blue stripe on the side.
What what is on that blue stripe there? Bill? Okay, that's
that's the cheap stripe. The car is actually emulating the seven forty seven that
ferried the shuttles back from California. Okay, that's the actual jet. The
seventh shuttles is at Space Center Houston, which is the visitors center for Johnson
Space Center here in Houston. So that is on display with a shuttle on
top of it. And I've got some really nice pictures on the website of
the car in that in that plaza. And so yeah, the car,
the car looks exactly like it excepted to Mini Cooper. Got it. That's
the line, it's it looks like the jet. That's good. I like
it. I like a true art car. It's it's a replica. So
this is this falls into I guess if you're to cat your eyes art cars,
this would be like a replica of sorts, like it's a modified replica
of the jet carrying the Shuttle's that right? Right? So I think most
art would agree. We don't like to be categorized, all right, So
I'm putting a picture. I'm putting a picture of the actual plane in the
chatroom mittochelly dot com for people to follow along a picture of the plane that
this is emulating. And what is what is your website? Because you said
you have the stuff up on your website. What's the web address? Yeah?
The website actually goes through the entire build and it also gives a brief
history of my first art car, which was the entire car was a Space
Shuttle. It was the Shuttle band. It had a seventeen fog machine and
I toured all over the country and that about ten years ago, well fifteen
years ago. So it is homemade Space Shuttle dot org. Oh wow,
I'm going there right now. Homemade Oh yeah, yeah, Here it goes
it's popping up. Oh yeah, I see it. Okay. Cool.
Here on that homepage you can click through any of those chapters, but the
build goes through the building of that space, of the space shuttle that's currently
on my car, on every step of the process, every mistake I made,
you know, starting from cocktail napkin sketch, which is where every good
idea comes from, all the way through putting in. It was originally on
a many Countryman that was kind of that rust color. So the car was
the external tank of a lost stack and that's how it rolled in its first
parade. And I since replaced that Countryman with a three hundred horsepower Clubman,
which is terrifying, but and then turned it into the plane instead. Got
it. Yeah, And I am looking at the old van that you had
that looked like the shuttle. That's cool. I'm definitely into that. Yes,
it looks like it's a lot of fun. There's like smoke coming out
of it. What is that. I had a seventeen hunderd rock fog machine
built into it with big old boat batteries inside. People hated being behind and
parades because I make their car disappear with the smoke. Of course it was
Bill a tennis court chest deep in a minute, so bottom ofall seventeen under
rock fog like six times bigger than what DJ's does in a club. So
anyway, and outdoors, it's really has a really different effect. But that
I drove that around. I put fifty thousand miles on it as an art
car, but it was a Christler product. It's no longer living. Okay,
Yeah, I got it, and I will apologize for earlier. Bill,
you said that art car enthusiasts don't want to be your eyes. I'd
say that you're in good company because same thing with this podcast. I think
some people tend to categorize podcast. But good luck if you want to categorize
Uncle the podcast, because I don't think the good luck. That's all I
gotta tell you. Yeah, I produce the thing, and I gotta tell
you all the time. People go what is Uncle? And I go,
well, I can't explain it. You produce it. How long you've been
produced it, six seven years, You can't explain it. Nope, I
gotta hear it for yourself. That's we'll just we'll just call it do.
All I do is have a comedy show whoever wanted to speak. Yeah,
with comedy on it, and I'm plain and simple and let him speak it.
You listen. Yeah, they want one. That's that's that's mine.
I understand. But if I say that they want more? Sorry? Good?
Here you go ahead, Bill? What are you saying? What are
you saying? Bill? God sake, don't box me in? There you
go? There we go. I like it. I like that. Uh,
credo there, Bill? So yeah, that's cool. Would you agree
with that? Uncle? Do you feel that way? Do you feel that
way? Right? I'm wanted to push in. I guess online they have
speaking to speak. It's a world country. Well to speak on my show.
We're all we have to do is you want to speak and he talks.
We're real First Amendment enthusiasts. You might say, yeah, that's that's
what we are. I was trying to figure out the world. Bill at
the balls in your clerk. First Amendment? Here, What do you got
for us? How do you want to use it? How do you choose
to use how do you choose to use the white lod He's finally learning on
this way. I'm a firm believer in free speech, and I'm also a
firm believer and do no harm. There we go. Okay, we're getting
philosophical with our guests today. I know you don't mind the moment. Guess
we Bill have to get Jimmy back on the line. Oh yeah, we
do have a car. I know why. I mean, I mean,
man by Jimmy up there, all right. I didn't because you had noo
this conversation. And when I get into a guest, I lose control.
And he's a good guest. So Jimmy on, just throw me. Jimmy
speak up. Now. The guests were rarity, Yeah they are. They
are rare because I let them take over the Joe. I tackle them,
but uh, I let them talk and then I forget. Sometimes on the
other line, there's another line waiting. We do have a call line.
We have a cool liner and Jimmy's on that. Yeah, and anybody else
could call, and anyone else can call in. The number is speak It's
three one nine seven five zero one six. Join us guest Bill here.
He is an art car creator. He's created a space shuttle, our car.
If you have questions for him, it'd be great. All right,
Now we have a caller. We think it's Jimmy we're gonna go to him
right now, caller, you're on the line, on line Jim, he
did not. Oh uncle, uh, you gotta do something about those rams.
They went lost to the cow girls. Cowgirls. He goes, listen
here, I was in a separate pool. Things are straightened out. Side
kick here, how to pick the team properly, I learned. But his
wife gets in my way. I'm trying to trying to get it straight.
Of course, though if he if, if he would have took then for
today, we wouldn't have this Monday night check numbers. He would have completely
won it. The short version of the story is I should have listened you,
uncle. I didn't. That's what my point in trying to tell you.
So don't listen to your wife. Don't with this, with this,
with the I don't know if I have a choice, Uncle, you have
a choice. Listen to me saying who to pay? So when everybody picks
a team, go to the opposite way. That's that's the role. That's
the wood antionomian. Who won? Did you see who wanted? Though?
Didn't you see who who won it? I did took those chiefs right out
of it. I can't argue with you. That's what my point is.
Jimmy, do you have me Do you have a question for Bill? A
space shuttle car? Look at the pictures of the of the shuttle on top
of the car. It's pretty cool. I put in the chat room.
Uh, Jimmy, Yeah, Well I have a question. Oh wait,
there's a picture. Yea. Actually my question is just are you knowledgeable about
the actual space shuttles? Yeah? I really am, because I've done a
lot of research and I'm a NASA geeky anyway. People always ask me if
I work at NATHA and I say no, I'm just a fan. But
I've done an awful lot of so I end up talking to people a lot.
Like I said was saying before, I meet a lot of astronauts and
engineers to tell me about what they did on the shuttles. But yeah,
I've got a pretty good like Layman's knowledge of the operation of the shuttle.
I've got the full spec sheets on it. I'm kind of a nerd.
It's a new show. That's cool. That's good. Do you have questions
specific to shuttles? Well, it's more of an above question. Everyone's eyes.
You've heard, dudes, you've heard these Moon deniers that we never went
to the moon. Bub buh buh, and they bring up brought the power,
but they don't understand how nasty utilize our atmosphere. Just swing the dim
thing. Do you know about that? Build the sling factor of Earth's atmosphere,
which actually was at play for the Moon the Apollo Moon mission. I
think any of this they launched out of the atmosphere. The atmosphere was utilized
on return on the return trip just to decelerate in the same way shuttles accelerated.
Because you know things are when things are coming back, especially all the
way from the Moon, they're coming back at a pretty fair clip, so
they use the sphere to slow it down just by uh, by friction alone.
But because of that, you have to have a hell of a heat
shield otherwise you're just kind of cooked your crew and any of the any of
your samples that you're bringing back. The slingshot effect was what they used to
get around the Moon to get back to Earth, But we really don't have
much of a slingshot effect through the atmosphere because it's dense. It's denser than
empty space, so in empty space you're usually you're when they talk about slingshot
effect. They're talking about gravitational tugs, so you'd fall into an orbit and
then slingshot around a body like the Moon. Or when we did the Voyager
probes back in the seventies, they slingshot it around Jupiter and then Saturn to
throw them out to the further planets. And it was really remarkable that they
were able to do that, because that was a perfect alignment at that point
in time of the outer planets for them to slingshot around each of them.
And you know, boys, you're still sending us messages back from one point
three trillion miles away or something. Yeah, it takes a while to relay
that sort of kind of thing to Yep. Well, I don't know about
anybody else, but I'm learning a lot. How about you, uncle,
I'm leaning what a bit and I'm talking just listening and taking him from what
he's talking about. See, when I do I guess, I let him
take the show and I listen. That's how you do it with guests.
You learned something's that kick? I maybe when you get a guess on your
show, Okay, you let them talk and then you loan some Wow.
Is that easy? Isn't anybody I forget step all over their own words and
then everyone can laugh at them. You know you could they wanted they want
it's a comedy because it's a comedy show. Yeah, it rules a serious
problem, right, look at this shoe. I do have serious problems.
Hey, no show. Even if he doesn't have a show, he's got
serious problems over there. But but we don't have that much time. Uncle,
let me get to this question. I go mean going quick. If
we want to listen, no, if we want to list all his problems,
We're going to be here all night. Bill's not going to get a
chance to talk, right, That's why he's talking right, So anyway,
I'm not saying so here here's the question. I wanted to give a chance
for Bill to talk about this because I think it'll be very cool. Now
it's not comedy. But what gave you the idea to do this? Like?
Where where is the beginning of this idea? Like what possessed you to
decide? Because there's a lot of things you could have done artistically, a
lot of different things you could have done with the car? Why this,
exactly why did you choose to do this? Well, I'll tell you the
Initially, when I was when I had that Mini Van, I was looking
at it and I knew I was going to make an art car out of
it. But at the time, this would have been say two thousand six,
two thousand and seven at the time. If you and I'm a space
geek, but if you did anything related to Star Wars or Star Trek,
you were gonna have Lucasfilm or Paramount coming after you, right, So I
didn't you known such anything like that then? So the Space Shuttle, I
kept looking at it, and the profile of that Mini the Dodge Caravan looked
like the nose of the Space Shuttle. And as far as I'm concerned,
the Space Shuttle, we all paid for it. It's public domain, so
you know. And I've always been a fan of NASA and the Space program,
so it was a tribute. At that point, I was, yeah,
Hey, what's easier than painted black and white? Well, NASA,
because NASA won't go after you for copyright unless you try to use their films
or their photographs directly in something else that you're releasing, like if you're doing
a documentary and you don't have their mission. But if you do something inspired
by their design, and it's not specific, like, it's not made to
look like one of the Like. You can't go out and make Space Shuttle
toys. They'll give you a problem. But if you're creating an artistic piece
like this and it's clearly inspired by but not a direct copy of, then
you're okay, right because it's funny. You know, the first Space shuttle
that I remember was called Enterprise. The reason why it was called Enterprise because
it was inspired by Star Trek. Right to name it that way that I
understood. Uh, there's also lots of other historical reasons to name a ship
Enterprise, but besides that, it was named Enterprise. Now yours is called
Kobyashi Maru, which I'll mean, listen, I'm a I'm I'm a trek
guy. I know I don't sound like it, but I'm a trick guy.
Anyways, you gotta be a double geek to get the kob Well,
see, I'm a truck I'm a triple geek. I even played Magic the
Gathering, and I used to play the card game for Star Trek and everything.
You know a whole bit. The only series I haven't watched so far
is Prodigy. Anyways, all the rest of them. I'm all caught up.
I've seen them all multiple times and I've seen all the movies. Loved
it, went to the theaters, you name it, Okay. Anyways,
I'm a Trek guy, So Kobeyashi Maru, I know what that is,
and I think it's hilarious because it's for people who don't know. If you're
not a geek. The Kobyashi Maru is the no win scenario test that they
give to cadets at Starfleet Academy while they're in command of a ship in a
simulation to see how they react to a no win situation. And this is
what he puts on the side of the Space Shuttle instead of Enterprise, which,
by the way, they had people from Star Trek go to some of
those initial launches when they were still doing this thing of putting the plane up
with the Shuttle on the back of it, which is the way this started
out early flights. You can find film of it out there, I think,
and I want to say seventy eight maybe it was somewhere in there.
I know it was when I was a little kid. The the the entire
cast of the original series came out to see Enterprise and except for Shatner.
For some reason, Shatner didn't show up, but everyone else was there to
get off. And it's an interesting note. The pilot that flew the Enterprise
off the top of the seven forty seven for the first time was Fred Hayes,
who was also an astronaut on Apollo thirteen. He's his character was played
by Bill Paxton in the movie. And Fred Hayes saw my car at face
enter Houston and had his picture taken with it and posted it on Facebook himself,
and that was like my drop Mike moment because he's my favorite astronaut and
he was a bit you know, getting the shuttle off the back of the
was his big project and he was the lead pilot astronaut on that. It
was really cool, right right, No, it's just great backs. It's
just the yeah good. So the Kobyashi Maru name on the shuttle, interesting
story behind that. I changed I was getting I was planning to change the
name because I was refinishing it. It occasionally needs to be refinished because it's
in the elements all the time. But I ran into I was at Space
inter Houston, and I ran into a very green, very brand new flight
controller who was just starting, just started her job at Mission Control, and
she said, Oh, it's the Kobe loss Kobyashi maru. That's awesome.
We use that term in Michigan Control all the time. I was like,
what she said. Yeah, it's a no win scenario. So every time
you run a simulation, we're trying to push it to the point of breaking,
so it's always a no win scenario. So we go, oh,
we're going to run a Kobyashi maru. I was like, well, it's
gotta stay. Michigan Control uses it. It's a given term. The name
sis right literal, a literal instance of you know, art, uh actually
inspiring science and science inspiring art in return. That's the beauty of it.
That's great. No, I just I wanted to get at that story.
Thank you. Yeah, I mean it makes sense that the NASA folk would
be in the Star Trek and science fiction generally speaking, right of course,
it's not surprising. Eat them kind of spreads in all directions. I mean,
touch it all. What do you think, uncle? You remember Star
Trek, you got fine fond members that oh the man with the ears,
but buddy, come with the one with the ears. Mister Spot. That
was the good they always look look down to. He could he could touch
you on a certain spot and knock you out. Yeah. Look they had
a laugh at him. Man me tell me, well then Vulcan right,
Vulcan's planing it vaultan Fulcan races something like that. Yeah, yeah, I
love the fact on that show. You know people originally when again, before
Aaron and I were even thoughts in people's minds, but uncle, you were
alive. When they first put out the production stills for Star Trek, right,
the guy editing the film turned around and snipped the tops of Spot's ears
off. He thought he was correcting the photograph several times when they said,
you're not to post to burn my ears, Well, it's just he's getting
in makeup to put ears on. They take a picture, the guy taking
the picture is developing it and he's changing it to get rid of the points
on his ears. And they took this like three four times. They kept
sending the pictures back. So it's just really funny that when they were first
trying to promote that show, they couldn't even get people used to the idea
of somebody might have pointed ears, which was hilarious. I felt had a
problem with broadcasting with affiliates in the South where that he thought that the Fought's
appearance was that of the devil, and they weren't going to show the series.
They thought because he was on a black and white television that he might
come off as more of a satanic looking character, which is yeah, which
is why they actually adjusted his skin tone. It may have been the pointed
ears or could have just been those silly bangs. Well, they adjusted his
skin tone in the original show Bible, all right, you know, which
is what they called the thing where you build out the universe. In the
original show Bible, he had red skin. And the problem was on black
and white TVs that would appear very dark, and he would definitely appear demonic
if he was very dark with pointed ears. So they said, nope,
can't do that, and that's how he ended up with that mustard color.
That change that they did, which you know, that way on black and
white and color TVs, his tone would be odd, but it wouldn't be
dark and malevolent looking. So that was the thing. They were afraid that
he was going to look satanic because of the point of the ears and the
Dark Skin. Yep, yep, that's true story. But anyways, Yeah,
a lot of weird stuff went on with trying to just even get that
show out. You know, it's remarkable sixty years later. The hero of
getting it out was Lucille Ball. Yep. She had controlling, controlling interest
in Desilu and she stood behind it and kept the series on Desilu Studios.
She fought for a whole bunch of stuff to make sure that things were included
that they were going to get rid of because they thought people were going to
be offended in the South, et cetera, et cetera. In fact,
that's true. Lucille Ball is one of the people who made sure that Star
Trek wounded up being what it was and it wasn't you know, taken down
by the powers that be that wanted to edit it. So yep, that's
absolutely true too. Desilu Studios long forgotten but important and television history, right,
you know, can you know about that? You knew? H I
love Lucy was part of the Yeah, I didn't know that. This is
new to me. Yeah, what do you think, Jimmy, Like I
said, Triple geek over here, Aaron, you gotta remember I'm like triple
geek. Yeah, he's triple geak over there. How does Jimmy think about
all this? Please say, Jimmy, well, what we're discussing this stuff
and I was just wondering what you thought about it? Yeah, any thoughts
on the development of Star Trek. Did you know about Lucy o'ball playing an
a trickle role in it? Stuff like that? Jimmy didn't know about her
being involved so much to start check, But I do know that she was
the first version to give Arnold Schwarzenegger and the acting part one over later.
No, no kidding, No, no, I didn't know that. See,
you learned something every caller you go to, Uncle, you learned so
that one I didn't know, Jimmy cutt one that I didn't know. Oh
really, I'm glad meet on that. Oh uncle, crazy crazy accents is
telling me we need to ask Bill why? What's the question? Why is
it many nine five? Why is that Bill? Why is that Bill?
That's a good question. So the aircraft designation of the original seven ferry carrier
jet, so it's the n A nine oh five. That's NASA's aircraft designation
number for it. With your friend that we met at the air show is
just a all googly that we were able to because he identifies planes by their
registration numbers that it's the jet that sits in front of space Er Houston.
So mine is the Mini Nino five. Nice obscure, but when people have
to ask you, it gives you an opportunity to tell them the story.
Got it. So throughout this piece of art, what you're saying is there
are minor homages to all sorts of real world things that are represented within the
piece. Indeed, yeah, if you look, you're looking at some of
the photos on the side of the car, there's actually tiny little mission stamps
right by the rearview mirrors, and those are on the actual jet. On
the jet, it's each of the different shuttles that it varied, so it
has all six, including Enterprise, and then it has another like a self
drone that they ferried. But just like in the in World War Two you
would have kill stamps for every plane you shot down, the seven forty seven
has mission stamps for each of the shuttles that it ferried back from California or
where wherever else in the country. And so my I have four little stamps
one is the very front, one is the Shuttle vand the original art car,
and then three different renditions of this current art car. Interesting, Okay,
I see how uncle? You know what? That reminds me of the
stickers they put on the full football helmets. That's a similar thing, you
get to. I don't know why they put them on the football helmets,
all the things they put on. Sometimes it's sometimes they put on the things
on the flipplay helmets. That that's if somebody's missed or somebody passes. That's
what that is. That's what that's for. Is that is that a ken
bill? You said that's similar? Would that be like similar? Those are
usually tribute. It's almost like a black flash of your farm for a fallen
comrade. Football usually, especially in college football, they'll put a sticker for
every tackle you get, for every touchdown you score, so you know you
can get the really good jobs have their helmets all covered with stickers because they've
been I know one that's a very good one. Understand. Ohio State has
these stones, and I was trying to understand what the heck is the storming
to on mail helmets to have something like that. It looks like they just
got back from the smoke shop. But that's what it sounds like, that's
what That's what I'm saying. That's not what it is. It's a buckeye
leaf, is what that is. But yeah, that's for me. Yeah,
that's because you and I was thinking about that. So what would you
think about I think about that about that with the hamlet? Yeah, yeah,
but similar, I mean it's I feel like, I mean you could
equate this also to like just stars that kids get from their teacher. Like
I feel like these little badges and stickers and like little like you know,
mementos that we put on things. I don't know what that even is,
but it's something that we definitely like to do, and it's something that definitely
like there's a certain satisfactions like, oh yeah, I did this. I
want to commemorate it by you know, even if it's just like you know,
putting a mark on it's be it a space shuttle, a football helmet,
a kid's folder or whatever. You know, it's all the same thing.
I'm thinking the heel of your pistol because you're a gunfighter. Yeah.
When I when I played Pop Warner football, we used to get a skull
and crossbones on our helmets for for every sack. So yeah, yeah,
there's something to it. I don't know exactly what, but we definitely like
to do it as a well. Like he said, it's like notches.
It's like this. You know, you keep a notch on your on your
gun, you keep a notch on your well. Some people put it on
their headboard, you know what I mean, You put notches on things.
If you see in the movie Gangs of New York, the one Irish guy,
he's got a notch on his sheally for every guy he bashed his head
in, right he did. I don't remember the character, the actor's name
or whatever, but Bill, the butcher comes and bashes his head in with
it, and he puts another notch right on the danel on oil, like
on timetop when that lieutenant used to keep ears from all the manees he killed.
Yeah, memo, I didn't see, don okay, same kind of
thing, Yeah, it is the same thing. Yeah, kind of serial
serial killer version of that. Yeah, going down. Serial killers do keep
trophies. That's another thing. But in all sorts of ways that these things
work themselves out. But uh, uncle, nobody's categorizing a thing here.
I know that much. Just gotta this tonight to me was very interesting.
Well, I think we've learned everybody here on this talk table. I've learned
something, guess I think so even so absolute, I mean, this is
really good. Now, these are what I'm like, you guess, guess
the head. It's great and then we get things out of it, you
know what I mean. It's like it's rewarding. Yeah, it's a rewarding
for us for the audience. Bill, Bill, is this rewarding at all
being here? Or are you sorry you came? You're allowed to be perfectly,
I'm doing this. I this is what I end up doing at art
car events, at air shows, at wherever I show up, or even
at the grocery store parking lot. I end up talking talking about the art
car, talking about I usually end up hearing from other people a lot of
their experience, their their contribution to the space program, which is always I
mean, I find that rewarding as well, because you know people that especially
in this area, the whole the clear Lake area all builds up around NASA
when in the sixties, So everybody has some touch or connection in some way,
shape or form, which is why the car is so popular? Was
brew Bilber on the notion of would you agree that LBJ wasn't popular at all
in Texas until the space program picked up to the late sixties, LBJ kept
getting elected in I mean some Texas and before he became vice president, but
he was pretty unpopular at the time. They named the Johnson Space Center after
him because he was instrumental in getting uh NATA in Houston. I mean,
the first word spoken from Moon was Houston. So you know, there's some
I think after after he h case not to run for election and retire to
the LBJ ranch outside of Austin, people kind of just you know, he
was just that he wasn't quite the statesman you might expect from the other time
president, But I don't I think people kind of still had lb J was
kind of a legend, whether you like it or not. He still carried
some cachet in that sense. Mm, yeah, there you go. So,
yeah, that's interesting. Would you say that kind of like the way
uh Louisianians looked at Huey wrong just kind of like one of the kind I
mean, well, he was such a mainstay in Louisiana politics for so long
it was, it'd be kind of hard to ignore him. Uh. We
we're talking about Louisiana history, right, there's too much, pretty much Huey
longed to talk about the long long list of things from Huey long to be
sure and there you have it, Hey them, do you think when would
be the next launch of the astronauts will be the next one and go to
the moon? Im any idea Artimist Artemist two is scheduled for They keep saying
twenty twenty four. Now, the thing is this, the whole Artemis program
has been just fraught with delays, being originally the Artivation program, and that
was ten It was back during Obama and when Obama canceled that program, but
they kept it, NASA kept it on the burner and they kept putting it
together as Artemis. So Artemist two is going to be the first crude mission
to the Moon and they will do the same figure eight loop that the Artemis
one did. Artemist one tested all the systems. Artemist two will fly four
four astronauts out to the Moon. They'll do a short ordered around the Moon
and then fling themselves further out beyond the Moon about forty thousand miles and then
come back to the Moon and then come back to Earth. They've they've scheduled
that tentatively for twenty twenty four. That rocket is going through all the steps
of completion, and because I kind of watched the progress as it goes,
whether it's going to have twenty twenty four as a crapsheet, because there's always
an excuse delay somewhere, and it makes more sense to delay than to offer
opportunity for disaster. But as far as them setting foot on the Moon,
you're probably looking at twenty six or twenty seven, because in order to go
to the mood to actually land on the Moon, the plan is to have
a space station in lunar orbit, and we don't even have that up and
running yet, so they've got they're going to have to launch a space station
that will get to lunar orbit before the astronauts ever get there, and that's
going to serve as a way station where they go on Earth to lunar orbit,
go to that space station, and then go down to the Moon,
come back, go down to the Moon, come back, So they'll have
the opportunity rather than the land land for a couple of days, then leave
and go back to Earth. They'll have the opportunity to go to a space
station and hang out and then go down to the Moon, come back and
make several trips down and back, and then come back to Earth. So
it's kind of a different different than the Apollo era. But with all those
moving parts going on, you're probably looking a couple more years down the road,
you think. I'm I answered the old question. Yeah, he do
got some good answers when didn't get good answers when you have a guest like
him, that's right, that's right. I'm uh. I know that Crazy
Accidents. Got a patch from Bill. I'm going to show that on the
livestream videos. Here it is, it, says Kobayashi, Maru Many is
it three five clear Lake City? So I see the patches. So that's
your car. That's a nice patch, Bill, it's a car. Yeah,
that's the car, the VR car that's on the path. I tell
people all the time that if if NASA redesigned the toilet on the International Space
Station, they make a patch for it, they're making vision pass for everything,
just like just like the stamps on the side of the plane goes back
to warwarks where if you were in the Army Air Corps is pre Air Air
Force. If you're in the Army Air Corps, every mission, every bombing
mission you went on, you've got to pack, you know, you're you
have a patch for that for making it back a lot. So they make
mission patches for every different you have all the way from Mercury, all the
way crew Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Face Shuttle, everything on the ISS.
So this is actually what I think what you're looking at is the fifth
generation patch that I've done. I made my first one in seven and in
O seven with the Shuttleman, I toured fifteen different cities around the country.
So all those cities are all around the perimeter. Usually you have the cruise
names around the perimeter of a patch. So yeah, every patch has a
story, so usually they have some type of personal reflection from the crew members
themselvels or what that mission is supposed to accomplish. But yeah, patches are
a big They're a form of art in their own god. Yeah, yeah,
well this is definitely a cool patch. I can tell. I know
that Creative Accents is very happy to have his patch. Uncle. He's that
much is clear. So he was happy, has met Bill and got that
match. We make Bill and gott you know what I've got him? So
I've got him on a bomber jacket. I've got a uh, I've got
a backpack, which I call my geek bag. It's just covered in different
NASA patches. There's always place nice, very cool, very cool. Uncle.
We're getting, We're getting. We're nearing the end of the hour.
Do you think that we should get to make so we don't miss it?
Do shout outs? Do you want to do shout outs? Okay, guests
first, what do you want me? So? Bill, this is a
chance to shout out to anyone who thinks maybe listening, or anybody that you
just respect. I want to say, Aaron, we have another caller joining
late as well. We do we do hold on that. Okay, hold
hold that, hold that, hold that thought and uh put him on the
phone. Let's have them on. Everybody's yelling. Who's who's trying to yell
in the background on the phone. I'm sorry, let me straighten it out.
Who's who's trying to say something. We'll get back to the shoutouts.
I promise we'll get back to hold on, hold on. Let's put people
on hold and everything first, because we got everybody open lines here. Let's
put Jimmy James on hold. And then we have a caller from Minneapolis.
You're on the air music. That's a boat okay. I don't know what
was going on there. That was the call from I think that's what's coming
back from one of those missions where we try to search for alien life.
And that's the message we got back from someone where we at They seem you
hung up. I'm checking to see what's going on here. We we had
two callers. One went away, there was that one. I don't know
what's going on here? That's going on with you? Chut Hey, I
don't do I didn't do it. They started calling in. What am I
gonna do? Tell them? Tell call in and speak, you know,
like like Joe Pest said in this movie there where he's start. Look that
the old guy sitting there with the beard, he's looking at you like,
hey, what do you want from me? I'm telling you, I don't
know what these guys are calling in. They made noise, okay, was
a space shuttle Michigan. A discussion with guess yeah, and and and you
come up and say I didn't do it. Hey, I can't control what
people doing it with their phones. People are crazy. All right. Now
look look, look, with that all out of the way, I'm glad
we got to that because now we back around the shout out. Well,
we still have Bill, all right, I have Bill on the open line.
We got Jimmy James on hold, and I'll let you know if anybody
else jumps in. Okayah, yah is perfect, that's probably yeah, yeah,
Uncle. Is the procedure? Correct me? If I'm wrong when we
do shout outs, do we go to the guest first with their shout out?
He's learning people, he's learning, he's learning delay. All right,
Well, I don't know how to pick the NFL game, So I got
this right. So with that in mind, Bill, anybody that you want
to shout out to, you know, anybody who might be listening, anybody
your respect. That mind is a terrible thing. Shout out time all the
different all the personnel that worked on the shuttle program for thirty years and made
it possible and inspired the rest of us to do silly stuff like mine.
Okay, great, a great shout out, Bill, Yeah, and thank
you for everything. Stay on the line. We're still doing the show,
but thank you for being on the show tonight and and for putting up with
us and everything at sales. Absolutely great shout out. And before he goes,

people want to go take a look. I was trying to find it real
fast and I couldn't, but go go Ahead'll give us that website again.

what I'm thinking? Absolutely not. Get away from there. Catch me later.
I'll buy your beer. We on those shows again. That's kick those
Uh so I think kick that. I just heard that was a call.
That was a caller. It sounded like the machine we do on Saturdays VHS
watching party. Yeah, that's what it looked like. Sound like it sounds
like a VHS tape, A true, I don't have to. I don't
have a working VHS. I'm sorry, I don't know. No, No,
I'm just saying. I'm saying, and that's what it sounded like it
did. Now it's because we listened to them on Saturday. Okay, William,
but he speaks, Bill, you broke up. Yeah, you gotta
hang on his he gets knocked off really easy, sound wise. Bill,
we didn't hear yet. Good. Uh if you don't have a VHS,
how are you going to watch all those Carson tapes? There you go,
I don't have one back there. But no, he he doesn't watch him,
Mike go, we did we have him, We watch him on Saturday.
We have them. We did, we did yesterday, we did Saturday.
Yeah, we did them Saturday. I'm getting confused to day. Yeah.
VCR is Uh, it's a it's a VC standing here on top of
a lamp and we've got it on the desk. It's balanced just perfectly.
Yeah. Man, he that's that kick set up and so we you gotta
have that. You gotta have that set up to see the monkey poop on
the Johnny's shoulder. Hey, look, it's almost man, it's almost as
complicated as the shuttle you got balanced on your Mini Cooper dare right. I
mean that's the type of technicality we got here with this VHS contraption, right
right, it's a it's technical wizardry that I will. I'm gonna make a
patch for that, the VCR patch. I'm gonna put that. Every time
that the VCR works and the connection works on the livestream, I'm gonna make
a little patch I'm gonna put on a jacket. How about that, NASA.
That sounds better. That sounds interesting, because every time we're playing with
these wires and we get the stoves, I do desrying to look at the
picture, and you know, the man whoever's talking easier said than done.
It's crazy. You just reminded me. I got two emails this week from
people who said that they would want a Uncle patch for their jackets. And
I have no idea why they want a circular Uncle logo patch for their jackets.
Okay, well all right, well, uh guys, we'll say we
might oblige them. I might be able to get those made for you,
like real cheap and short runs. If you want them, I've got I've
got uh a maker for you. You do nice. There you go.
