WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.559 You'll Chilly Effect is sponsored by Wallstreet, Window dot Com 2 00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:05.919 and listeners. 3 00:00:05.719 --> 00:00:13.160 Liking now the mostivated in a media. 4 00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:19.719 Yeah, underrated is a funny statement anyway. It is December five, 5 00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:23.440 twenty twenty five, allegedly, according to that thing we call 6 00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:27.440 a calendar, and uh damned if I'm not still alive. 7 00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:30.480 So here we go with the first live broadcast since 8 00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.200 I returned from Dallas, and I'm waiting for my co 9 00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:37.280 host to join me here on the stream. Hopefully he's 10 00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:41.560 seen his link I sent it over to him, and 11 00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:46.159 hopefully he'll pop up momentarily. So I've got phone lines 12 00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:50.079 set up three one nine five two seven five zero 13 00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:55.079 one six in a great deal of pain, I really 14 00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.000 am not going to be talking about it too much, 15 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.439 although probably I'm gonna mention it here and there, so 16 00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:05.640 there's a little double talk for you, you know, for 17 00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:09.400 those of you that are where, I'll just give the 18 00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:12.200 simple facts about that trip in a moment. But like 19 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:14.359 I said, I'm hoping for my coast to jump on 20 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.439 in at some point here and waiting to see if 21 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:22.200 he does. And hopefully he does. But I haven't seen 22 00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.200 him there yet and told him I was setting up. 23 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:27.799 He said okay, and I sent him the jitsy link, 24 00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.000 so I don't have the chat room in front of 25 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:35.120 me where he usually is earlier than myself. But looks 26 00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:38.799 like everything is broadcasting live, so hopefully you guys are 27 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.599 hearing it. Look, I'm a little behind on the news. 28 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.200 I've had some difficulties this week and last and well 29 00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.159 the week before that too. Now, I guess because I 30 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.319 left here in the teen days what the eighteenth, I 31 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:57.000 guess of eighteenth or nineteenth of November, and I have 32 00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.519 not broadcast live since I bailed on doing the hell 33 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:03.439 in high Water with Maria and a few other things, 34 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.760 because first of all, I didn't get back home on time, 35 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.960 but also I had to carefully deal with some issues. 36 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.919 And I'm doing the best I can here because anyway, 37 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:17.759 I'm live. And if you want to talk to me 38 00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:20.759 and you're hearing me live, three one nine five two 39 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.080 seven five zero one six, let's see, it is just 40 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:29.159 ten after the hour of eight pm here on the 41 00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.599 East coast of what we used to call America. So 42 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:34.439 if you're hearing me on December fifth, at twenty twenty 43 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:38.280 five on that particular time, you're hearing me live. Otherwise 44 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.560 you're hearing a replay, and you've been hearing a lot 45 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:43.240 of replays on the ocell network as of late, so 46 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:45.520 I don't expect a lot of people to even tune 47 00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:49.759 in because this will be a limited engagement. But I've 48 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.039 also got the Age of Transitions and Uncle to produce 49 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:57.919 starting at ten pm Eastern here on ocelly dot com Radio. 50 00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.479 So let me talk about a couple of things that 51 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.800 are going to change in the near future. I don't 52 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.479 know how it's gonna turn out money wise in April, 53 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.800 when I've got to pay some big bills, uh, But 54 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.520 I'm gonna try to keep the live stream going. I'm 55 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.199 gonna try to keep the website up, gonna try to 56 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.919 keep the feed that gives you the podcast going as 57 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.080 best I can. But there's gonna be some changes here. 58 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.520 I think I'm gonna go down to just three Ocelli 59 00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:30.719 effects per week as a constant, and each one is 60 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:32.840 going to have a point. You know. One of them 61 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.960 will be an interview day where I have a guest. 62 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.879 Will maintain this Friday night call in thing, but we're 63 00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.000 going to change that up a little bit too. I'm 64 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.479 redesigning it and we're going to change things a bit. 65 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:47.439 Now I'm gonna keep my show's name and all that, 66 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:51.400 and who knows what else this little network might produce. 67 00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.719 I considered retiring the Ocelli Effect name because it feels 68 00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.960 kind of useless when I've gone from you know, having 69 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.240 five listeners to or let's put it this way, eight 70 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.639 listeners to eighty thousand and then back down into the 71 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.400 low thousands over the course of this little trip since 72 00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:12.840 twenty thirteen, so you know, that's where I'm at. I 73 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.439 don't know why BP has not joined me as of yet. 74 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.839 Maybe I should check in and see what's being said 75 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.360 in the Ocelli chat room to get an idea, because 76 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:25.439 usually he's over there unless he's got a phone or 77 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.600 internet problem. And I don't like this because I really 78 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.160 wanted him to just kind of join as I am 79 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:35.639 running things here. But then again, team sucks, so I 80 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.680 don't know. Maybe maybe that's the problem. 81 00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.279 Because I sent them the message via teams. 82 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:49.040 Maybe that's the issue. Let's see, I don't need chat GPT, 83 00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:53.720 what the hell anyway, Let's see if I can find 84 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:57.079 my own website about that, because I'm working on a 85 00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.600 new browser because I've had problems and to be honest 86 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:06.240 with you, you know, after learning really, really the hard way 87 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:08.480 who my friends are in the past few weeks and 88 00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:11.839 who they are definitely not. It's been a hell of 89 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.279 an interesting journey, I gotta say. So, let's go check 90 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.680 with its live chat room, which you can find at 91 00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:19.959 Ocelli dot com. If you go over there and search 92 00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:23.079 and you hit the listen live button and for some 93 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:26.680 reason your browser doesn't work right, you'll be able to 94 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:30.480 click on a button to go straight to the Chatsango page. Hey, 95 00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:32.600 it does look like I got ppete, so I don't 96 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:35.000 have to finish going to my own website. B Pete, 97 00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:42.000 how you doing? Oh? Maybe be Pete good. Oh for 98 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.519 a second there, I thought you didn't hear me. I 99 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.160 decided to go live so we wouldn't waste more time, 100 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:48.800 you know, And I was trying to get on time, 101 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.120 but I missed by about five minutes, and I said, 102 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:53.319 to hell with it, let's get it live and let 103 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:57.319 you join in progress. So anyway, I was talking about 104 00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:59.480 a couple of things that I'm planning on changing in 105 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:09.319 the new year, for sure. But yeah, go ahead, I'm sorry. 106 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:10.079 I didn't mean to interrupt. 107 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:11.759 You're saying I tried to join the room once and 108 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.959 it started to enter the room and then it foes. 109 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.720 Oh okay, new glitch. Plus, it seems like there's a 110 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:25.120 delay on what I'm saying to you. Yeah. Yeah, Well, 111 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:26.800 well we'll get through it one way or another. I 112 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:32.079 have I think, Yeah, yeah, apparently big delay. 113 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.040 Go back to what you were saying about changes. 114 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.360 Wow, okay, So I'm going to change things up in 115 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:38.879 the new year. I want to change the focus of 116 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.120 I'm going to keep the call in show, but we're 117 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.839 going to change this a little bit because I think 118 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.160 it's high time that we pay more attention to you 119 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:51.519 and me talking because we're not attracting new callers, and uh, 120 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:53.839 you know what, maybe that's not the key. I mean, 121 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.319 we'll leave the phone lines open, and obviously everybody can 122 00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.000 still call in, but we might handle it a little different, 123 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.040 and I think it should focus more on you and 124 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:06.000 me talking through things. This is based on third party 125 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.519 advice that I got, because you know what, I'm sitting 126 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:11.160 there trying to figure out. As I said at the 127 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.360 beginning of the show, you know exactly why I made 128 00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:18.519 the journey from eight listeners to eighty thousand, you know, 129 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.680 to practically nothing now except a couple thousand. You know, 130 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.560 this is this has been a rough, weird journey over 131 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:30.319 the past well twelve years, and I think some new 132 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.759 changes need to be implemented in order to get back 133 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.959 to what needs to be done on here. So yeah, 134 00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:38.079 I think you and I should have more of the conversation, 135 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:41.800 and I think we need to format that a little different. 136 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:43.360 I'm going to talk to you off air about it, 137 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.480 but I think we should format our conversation a little 138 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.920 and make it something that is a little more attractive 139 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:53.600 to new callers because we need more of them. I mean, 140 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.319 I appreciate the people that join us, but you know, 141 00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:58.240 we've been stuck in a rut now for a while. 142 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.839 And yeah, I've got a new design idea, so I 143 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.040 want to do that. I think we'll do one night 144 00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.240 a week of the Ocelli effect, where I actually talk 145 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:09.560 to somebody else who's like, you know, a guest co 146 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:14.319 host or interview subject, and then we'll have one other 147 00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:17.759 night where I'm just gonna go, you know, straight for 148 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:22.000 here is my weekly roundup of the information you need 149 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.279 to know, whatever the hell it is I think you 150 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.759 need to know. And I think that's where I'm gonna 151 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:29.319 go from now on because if I streamline it that way, 152 00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:33.840 maybe maybe uh, it'll you know, be better quality content 153 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:36.399 as opposed to the quantity I put out. 154 00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:37.080 Over the years. 155 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:43.559 What do you think, Well, it sounds like a good idea. 156 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:47.559 I just hear what the past four years I've been 157 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:50.840 with you doing this, what's six? Yeah, just over six 158 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:54.120 And I've noticed in the past three or four years 159 00:08:54.159 --> 00:09:04.320 that it's just getting so saturated with podcasts and rumble 160 00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:09.799 and the whole genre is just swamped right now. 161 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:15.639 Everybody's got a yeah exactly, And I think, but I 162 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.559 think that you know, you and me and and me also, 163 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:21.000 and whoever it is that continues to work with me, 164 00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:22.440 because Aaron is stuck with me. 165 00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:25.720 But outside of that, whoever continues to work with me, 166 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.480 we got to find ways to stand out among this 167 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:32.200 sea of nonsense, because there is a big sea of 168 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:34.559 nonsense out there. You know, there's a bunch of crap. 169 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:37.480 And if it's custom made for the thing you already 170 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:40.039 want to hear, well, that's great. There's plenty out there 171 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:42.639 for you, right and it doesn't matter if we're talking 172 00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:46.200 about politics or Star wars. Okay, you can find the 173 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:49.559 thing that already reinforces what you want to hear. I 174 00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:53.639 don't do that, So I'm gonna stop trying to do that, 175 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:55.879 and I'm going to go back to you know in 176 00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.279 my mind what it was that made this show work 177 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.720 and grow, so well, that's what I'm gonna do. And 178 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:05.759 I know everybody who is bothering to listen tonight wants 179 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.039 to hear about Lancer and the trip and all that. 180 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:10.720 I got a little bad news and I wanted to 181 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.000 wait for you to get on the line with me 182 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:17.519 before I delivered a bad news, so and then I 183 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:19.759 want to hear what you got to say. Okay, because 184 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:21.360 I'm taking up too much of this. This is one 185 00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:22.519 of the things that we got to learn to do 186 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:24.519 too on here is I think you and I need 187 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.960 to turn the mic over to each other a lot quicker. 188 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.039 We're going to do that in the future, but for tonight, 189 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:34.000 I'm going to finish my list of announcements and then 190 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:37.279 we're going to change things up in the future. Anyways, 191 00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:42.039 Clearly some people know that I got into a nasty accident. 192 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:44.559 A lot of things happened over the past couple of weeks, 193 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.879 and quite frankly, I don't want to discuss the accident 194 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:57.279 or the Lancer conference at all publicly. The reason is that, frankly, 195 00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:03.759 there's multiple investigations going on for multiple reasons, and I 196 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:06.080 am not going to be involved in messing with any 197 00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:09.320 of it or causing something to become a piece of 198 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:15.720 evidence from this podcast. So I'm not discussing Lnswer, I'm 199 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:20.159 not discussing the accident. I'm only gonna give you guys 200 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:22.919 kind of a cryptic sort of message about these things. 201 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.639 And that's gonna have to stand for now, because yeah, 202 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.399 I'm not gonna shoot myself in the foot, and I'm 203 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:33.919 also not going to cause problems for people who don't 204 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:38.559 need them, And I'm gonna let people do the job 205 00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:41.320 that do this job, to investigate things and turn things 206 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:45.559 over and sort things out. And I'll get involved in 207 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:50.480 it later and I will talk about it later, but unfortunately, 208 00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:57.000 I think it's best for myself and others to have 209 00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:58.840 to say I'm not going to really talk about it 210 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:04.399 at all now. I am hurt, still did not expect 211 00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:06.440 to be as banged up as I was, but also 212 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:09.720 I was kind of worried I was going to get 213 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:12.879 stuck in the middle of the sticks in Mississippi, which 214 00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:18.759 is where I was when the accident occurred. So I 215 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.240 just wanted to get home. I got home, but I 216 00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:23.519 am hurting pretty bad, and the only reason why I'm 217 00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:27.279 in a halfway decent mood is muscle relaxers. Right now, 218 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:39.360 Let's put that that way, And you know, my excuse me. 219 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.919 I got other damages besides that. But again, I'm going 220 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:47.480 to let others sort out their work first and then 221 00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:49.799 we'll be able to talk about it. But also I 222 00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:54.720 can't talk about Lancer because during the course of my 223 00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:59.600 attempt to MC and be part of that organization and 224 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:05.759 all of that, things went wrong, guys, really really wrong. 225 00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:12.159 And you know, I am fairly certain my cell phone 226 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:16.399 got stolen toward the end. But my cell phone disappeared, 227 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:18.840 so I had no way of communicating with anybody, and 228 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.399 it was secondhand. I had to relay things to Kim. 229 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:24.840 So my apologies to people who cared about what was 230 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:27.960 going on and felt like I wasn't communicating. I had 231 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:32.600 no way to communicate for a while, and I specifically 232 00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:34.919 got that phone so I could communicate while I was 233 00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:40.120 on the road, But either fate or somebody's sticky fingers 234 00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:43.559 decided to make sure I didn't have a phone, So 235 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:51.200 we'll leave that there. Apologies. But also another unfortunate thing 236 00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:56.440 where I've got to give another sad announcement, are intrepid 237 00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:01.159 occasional caller Spent Kent is no longer among the living, 238 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:07.799 And you know it's again. I mean, some people got 239 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:10.399 annoyed because he called up and did his professional wrestling 240 00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:14.799 thing and whatever else. But Kent was a good guy 241 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.559 really and for the most part, was worth putting up with, 242 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:23.919 you know, regardless of what anybody else thought about him. 243 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:26.759 And he was getting ready, we were in process of 244 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.639 and I was waiting to get back from Lancer and 245 00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:33.000 all that to talk to him about doing a regular 246 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:36.759 radio show, which he had been part of the show before. 247 00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:39.080 As a regular piece. He did a call in show 248 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:41.080 kind of like what me and B Pete did, but 249 00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:43.879 definitely Spent Kent and B Pete are not the same person, 250 00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:48.159 so it was definitely a different call in show. But 251 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.720 he had also done other stuff on blog talk radio, 252 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:53.080 et cetera, et cetera, and he was so proud of 253 00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:58.960 it that he brought it up every time he called in. Anyway. Unfortunately, 254 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:00.879 on the twenty first and no remember, while I was 255 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:04.279 at the conference, I got informed that spent Kent has 256 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:10.799 officially finally left this building we call Planet Earth. So 257 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:13.799 I'm a little saddened by that. I'm saddened by the 258 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.559 fact that we lost Vance some time ago, but I 259 00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:20.000 found out late on that. I did pop in on 260 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:23.000 the tribute they had for him on the Saturday Night 261 00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:28.000 Anarchy show, but could not stay on the line long 262 00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:32.519 because I was in too much pain. And I just 263 00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:35.720 showed up there at a complete respect for that man, 264 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.840 because he was a good man and I actually had 265 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:44.440 personal interactions with him. I hope someone is going to 266 00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:50.120 look after his daughter, and he was just a good 267 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.799 guy who had maybe different things to say than some 268 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:55.039 of you might have wanted to hear. But he was 269 00:15:55.080 --> 00:16:00.320 at all times generous, polite, and decent even of front 270 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:06.279 to people. And so I find that sad, and I 271 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:09.200 find it sad that accompanying him is a guy who 272 00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:13.159 believed in but couldn't articulate it as well. Similar ideas 273 00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:21.120 Kent and Vanarchy. There Vance were similar in their idealism. Now, 274 00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:26.039 Kent was not the best at articulating it, but Vance 275 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:32.039 was extremely articulate in his common way and was a 276 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:35.360 guy who you know, up until he got sick, was 277 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:38.679 a guy who worked on ranches and stuff, you know, 278 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:41.320 an actual cowboy, which is why on that tribute show, 279 00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:44.440 I say my cowboy's gone, because that was the only 280 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:46.639 guy I knew that was listening to me who was 281 00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:50.759 a cowboy in my mind, lived in Texas all that, 282 00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:56.360 and I'm particularly sad that he never did quite make 283 00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:59.039 it because of family emergency one time, and then another 284 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:02.840 thing happened, other thing, and this year he wasn't alive. 285 00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:06.160 But I went to Texas and was hoping that I 286 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:11.119 would have time to run into Vance, and I never 287 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:17.759 got to shake his hand in person. So these are 288 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:20.319 two people that are gone. And this is a signal 289 00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:25.440 to me from the universe that, you know what, change 290 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:30.720 is inevitable and good, bad, annoying, whatever it is you 291 00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:32.799 want to call people, or whatever it is you think 292 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:38.160 of anyone. You know what, Eventually, one day we're all 293 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:42.279 going to exit. And when we do, what we leave 294 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:49.440 behind is what we leave behind. And I felt like 295 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.720 I left a lot of things behind on my recent trip. 296 00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:01.359 I might fully and finally abandon any of my work 297 00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:09.720 in the assassination community whatsoever. But maybe I'm starting to 298 00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:15.359 say too much now. So with that, yeah, I'm not 299 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.039 feeling great, be Pete, I'm not feeling great. I'm not 300 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:21.119 feeling happy. I mean, I'm grateful that I got back home, 301 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:25.839 and I'm also grateful to a couple of very good 302 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:31.839 guys who gave Kim the resources to make sure that 303 00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:34.000 I didn't have to starve along the way. And I 304 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:37.200 also know after the fact that there were people that 305 00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:40.599 probably would have been willing to come and get me, 306 00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:46.079 despite the fact that I was stuck very very far 307 00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:50.559 away and not in a convenient place. And I want 308 00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:53.359 to thank the people who know who I'm thinking right now, 309 00:18:55.240 --> 00:19:00.759 and I appreciate that. And I also appreciate that I know, 310 00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.480 at the very least my family has a Christmas dinner 311 00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:08.480 and uh and and that kind of stuff. Because this 312 00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:13.599 cost me this uh, this trip cost me a lot. 313 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:18.640 And uh it's not just money, but it cost me things. 314 00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:21.920 It cost me part of my health now it's cost 315 00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:27.039 me and uh, I really never imagined that that's the 316 00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:33.839 position I'd be in, but here we are. Anyway. With that, 317 00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.200 b Pete, you know I haven't talked to you in weeks. 318 00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:41.599 I mean, we didn't talk before I left really and 319 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:43.920 wound up. I got to tell you, my memory is 320 00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:47.319 a little fuzzy. I think I spoke to you in Mississippi, 321 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:53.160 but I was in a weird state and still, you know, 322 00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:55.440 I was having trouble hearing and all kinds of things, 323 00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:59.039 So my mind's a little muddled. Yes, but I do 324 00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:01.480 believe I spoke to you Mississippi to at least let 325 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:03.799 you know I was alive. But I had to borrow 326 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:08.119 somebody else's phone to do that, and I did. And 327 00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:12.880 you know, what can I say, except there's a lot 328 00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:15.319 that's going to be said in the in the near future, 329 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.839 but I gotta wait, sadly, But how was your time 330 00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.920 while I was away? I mean, you know, outside of 331 00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:25.640 the fact that you are one of my actual friends, 332 00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:28.519 regardless of the fact that you know some people hear 333 00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:31.759 us argue and whatnot. CVP's my friend who I can 334 00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:38.240 argue with, and it's still my friend afterwards anyway. But 335 00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:41.839 I'm not saying that to you, saying that to the 336 00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:44.559 person who might be hearing us. If anybody's even listening, 337 00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:47.359 I don't know, because nobody's calling in three one nine, five, 338 00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:50.359 two seven, five zero one six. But what's been going 339 00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:50.759 on with you. 340 00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:59.640 It's it's been kind of weird. The weather has been 341 00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:03.160 up down. It's wintertime now, rain and sleep and crap 342 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:07.200 like that. But we got right before Thanksgiving, we got 343 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:10.559 the contractor in. I've got power to the garage. I'm 344 00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:12.519 getting ready to strip everything in the inside of the 345 00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:15.440 garage and rewire everything. But i mean the process of 346 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:19.240 digging an eighty foot two foot deep deep trench. And 347 00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:21.640 I'm gonna tell you something, at my age, i am 348 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:25.160 not really cut out for digging. It's just getting old. 349 00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:27.559 But I mean, other than that, we're getting ready for wintertime. 350 00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:30.720 We're trying to get things buttoned down. We got our 351 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:33.000 Christmas parade tomorrow, and of course it's going to be 352 00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:35.839 raining during the parade. But other than that, just trying 353 00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:38.279 to stay healthy and stay on top of stuff. I've 354 00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.880 been fighting Amazon for the past week. Amazon dot Com, 355 00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:44.680 I'm gonna tell you they can be brilliant at times, 356 00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:49.200 but some of their sellers need to be taken off 357 00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:54.400 the list. Don't offer products if you can't provide them. 358 00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:58.200 Yeah, as with everything, as with everything right, it begets 359 00:21:58.640 --> 00:21:59.000 is crap. 360 00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:03.359 I've been waiting to weeks. Yeah, you get too many 361 00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:06.119 two weeks on parts that are keeping me from being 362 00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:07.039 able to make income. 363 00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:11.759 Well, you know, with everything, if you get too many 364 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:16.240 people involved in something right, you start attracting the extra 365 00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:18.880 people that think it's easy and they come in and 366 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.079 screw things up. See, the initial people that start with 367 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:26.680 things usually care about what it is they're doing because 368 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:29.119 they're the new people, and they want to prove themselves, 369 00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:31.359 and they want to prove in fact, the whole business 370 00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:35.960 of doing things that way, you know, to be viable, valuable, 371 00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:38.640 et cetera. And it don't matter if it's a coffee 372 00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:41.960 shop or if it's a big online business, it's irrelevant. 373 00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:45.559 It's it's like the first people in and for a 374 00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:48.640 little while after that are usually high quality people. Right 375 00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:51.799 when they're building an industry or building a business, or 376 00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:57.480 building a type of food, anything, anything that isn't previously established. 377 00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:03.119 Then there's always a time period, you know, the shit 378 00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:08.039 show shows up. I mean that's just the reality, right, 379 00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:09.559 I mean, what do you think be. 380 00:23:09.640 --> 00:23:15.319 People it all started, yeah, but this well, this was weird. 381 00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.240 It all started years ago back during COVID when we 382 00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:21.119 were having to file a bunch of paperwork and stuff 383 00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:23.440 like that. I had to get a replacement battery from 384 00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:26.920 my laptop. I couldn't find one anywhere, so I go 385 00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:29.960 to Amazon. I buy the thing now that was back 386 00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:35.759 in like twenty So I'm ready to order some parts. 387 00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:40.000 A friend of mine has a Prime subscription, so it's 388 00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:42.759 free shipping. So I would go to them and say, look, 389 00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:44.640 when you make your order, put these things in here, 390 00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:47.640 and I'd give them money for it, and they'd show up. Well, 391 00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:51.400 I go in and I open up Amazon, and I 392 00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:54.720 go to my old account, and I go and update 393 00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:59.680 my address, and I changed my method of payment to 394 00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:06.559 different card, and then I order three things. A set 395 00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:09.240 of tires for the mower, a carburetor for a weed eater, 396 00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:14.319 and some precut strings for a weed eater head. Okay, 397 00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:18.599 it goes through and they build me for the tires 398 00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:25.119 and say they are shipped and all that. Suddenly I 399 00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:29.359 start getting hit with emails. My account has been put 400 00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:32.039 on hold. Two of my tums have been canceled. 401 00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:33.039
