Speaker 1: so that's going once again. Thank you for listening. And
Speaker 1: there's been a lot going on, my goodness, gracious, too
Speaker 1: much to keep up with. It's impossible to keep up with.
Speaker 1: So if you're not, don't feel bad about it, because
Speaker 1: you couldn't. So it's not anything to be upset about.
Speaker 1: And we're just doing our best, and keeping up is
Speaker 1: keeping up is a losing game, so there's no point
Speaker 1: in that. But what we're gonna do here is just
Speaker 1: try to figure out a little bit of what's going on,
Speaker 1: at least trying to come to some sort of understanding.
Speaker 1: And it's tough. It's tough to do that, but we're
Speaker 1: going to see what we can do on. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's so many things that are upsetting, and I think
Speaker 1: I'll get to that. I'm frankly, I'm a little too
Speaker 1: tired to be upset right now, but I'll get there.
Speaker 1: I'll be upset in a moment, believe me. After talking
Speaker 1: about all this nonsense, listeners to the show are probably
Speaker 1: well aware of the fact that this past week Talent Here,
Speaker 1: the wonderful veillance artificial intelligence defense contracting tech company that
Speaker 1: is quickly taking control of the United States government for
Speaker 1: its own ends them along with their other Silicon Valley,
Speaker 1: big tech industry friends. But then they're they're one of
Speaker 1: the primary suspects in the complete destruction of the old
Speaker 1: American the recreation of a fascistic technocracy. But this past
Speaker 1: week they posted online, definitely on Twitter X and I
Speaker 1: think probably other places I don't know, but I was
Speaker 1: on X so I saw this. Say, they posted a
Speaker 1: nice summation of what is titled The Technological Republic, which
Speaker 1: I suppose, and I didn't know this before this week.
Speaker 1: I guess it was a book by Karp. Alex Karp,
Speaker 1: the CEO of Palntier, who, by the way, was the
Speaker 1: highest paid CEO in the country, I believe, in the world,
Speaker 1: but in the US last year over a billion dollars
Speaker 1: he made on his salary in a year, if I
Speaker 1: remember correctly, which is insane. That goes to tell you
Speaker 1: something about this company profitable, right, But anyway, he wrote
Speaker 1: a book called The Technological Republic. I have not read it.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I will. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I can bring myself to it, but I guess I
Speaker 1: don't have to because they were real nice and they
Speaker 1: posted this nice bullet point summation of the whole thing
Speaker 1: it's just twenty two main takeaways from this rock solid,
Speaker 1: wonderful book. I'm sure it's great because we're gonna What
Speaker 1: I'm going to do is I'm going to read from
Speaker 1: this godforsaken thing now and just give commentary on it. So,
Speaker 1: you know, my apologies for putting everybody through this, but
Speaker 1: here we go. We're going to let's see what we
Speaker 1: can make of the Technological Republic. So these are all
Speaker 1: numbered one to twenty two. Actually, you know what, now
Speaker 1: that I think about it, the number twenty two has
Speaker 1: some cob baalistic significance, but you know that pright doesn't
Speaker 1: mean anything. These guys don't know about that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm not doing it a call. I don't
Speaker 1: have any me to talk occult esoteric religion tonight, I
Speaker 1: don't think. So we're just gonna keep it very mundane,
Speaker 1: run of the mill sort of stuff. But anyway, Number one,
Speaker 1: starting with number one, Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley, Oh, dear Lord,
Speaker 1: Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that
Speaker 1: made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley
Speaker 1: has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of
Speaker 1: the nation. Okay, so, oh, they're so altruistic, these guys.
Speaker 1: They're first of all, they're grateful. They're such they're they're
Speaker 1: so grateful for their billions upon billions of dollars that
Speaker 1: have been showered upon them. Uh, not only by the
Speaker 1: users of their little programs. And this goes for Silicon
Speaker 1: Valley as a whole, their products, their services, not just
Speaker 1: you know, the consumers, but the government, which increasingly is
Speaker 1: giving them more and more money. Big surprise. Uh so
Speaker 1: silicon value. Oh, is a moral debt. We're getting ethical.
Speaker 1: We're talking morals. These guys are the they're just bastion morality.
Speaker 1: So they owe a moral debt to this country. Oh gosh,
Speaker 1: they have an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense
Speaker 1: of the nation. Okay, well we know what that means.
Speaker 1: That's pretty cut and dry. They the Silicon Valley elite,
Speaker 1: engineering elite are now the new military industrial complex. Mission accomplished.
Speaker 1: I've been talking on this show for a few years
Speaker 1: now how they've been trying to usurp the old aerospace
Speaker 1: companies which came up during World War Two and the
Speaker 1: rise of the Air Force, and actually tragedy, and Hope
Speaker 1: spends must spend like hundreds and hundreds of pages talking
Speaker 1: about this. Actually the rise of the Air force and
Speaker 1: all this. This gets a little talked about with Quickly's book,
Speaker 1: but I'm just throwing at in there. But anyway, World
Speaker 1: War two, in the post war period military industrial complex,
Speaker 1: we know who they were. They were the aerospace companies. Well,
Speaker 1: in today's day there has been what I believe is
Speaker 1: an antagonistic relationship between the old guard aerospace and the
Speaker 1: new guard big tech companies Silicon Valley, where Silicon Valley
Speaker 1: is turning to strong arm their way and basically supplant
Speaker 1: the old aerospace companies. And I do believe we're going
Speaker 1: to see that happening through this Iran war fiasco. Now
Speaker 1: I'm really going off at tension. I know I would,
Speaker 1: but here we go. There is talk of making a
Speaker 1: new insane like one and a half trillion dollar defense
Speaker 1: budget for Strongman's idea of some golden Fleet, Navy, some
Speaker 1: golden dome as you know, all these old ideas, and
Speaker 1: this Iran war really is the culmination of the American
Speaker 1: Empire's moment. If you were to like look back the
Speaker 1: post war period and especially the Middle Eastern wars that
Speaker 1: happened starting in the nineteen nineties with Bush Senior and
Speaker 1: on through the war the War on Terriers to now Iraq, Afghanistan,
Speaker 1: you know, we know the story, and the War on Tear,
Speaker 1: all of that leading up finally to Iran. Now it's
Speaker 1: all using the same old aerospace tech that America has
Speaker 1: come to see as the symbol of our technological and
Speaker 1: military supremacy over the world and a symbol of our empire,
Speaker 1: which we never want to admit is an empire. But
Speaker 1: don't worry, it's falling, so it won't be one anymore.
Speaker 1: And this war will show that because new forms of
Speaker 1: warfare are here already, and don't worry, the new military
Speaker 1: industrial complex is going to be there when we need
Speaker 1: them to defend us in the ways that we need
Speaker 1: to be defended now. And we won't be wasting hundreds
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars on one jet. We won't be
Speaker 1: spending god knows how much on a destroyership or a
Speaker 1: or an aircraft carrier. That's all waste of money. So
Speaker 1: these guys that when they say they have an obligation
Speaker 1: to participate in the defense of the nation and they're
Speaker 1: acting like this is some sort of morality. Give me
Speaker 1: a break. We know what you're doing. You're taking over
Speaker 1: the government from the inside out. You bought it, You
Speaker 1: bought and paid for it. First of all, you put
Speaker 1: in the damn president who's in there now. These tech guys,
Speaker 1: they're the ones who placed him there so that they
Speaker 1: could finish the job of becoming the new military industrial complex.
Speaker 1: And that's what is now occurring. Okay, we live in
Speaker 1: their world now, and they will have all of the
Speaker 1: defense contracts, they will be the government. They will take
Speaker 1: over the irs. And don't think. Okay, well we're going
Speaker 1: on and I'm only on point one, and I'm going
Speaker 1: off on this. I got a dial back a lit
Speaker 1: because we'll get into more details as we are. Let's
Speaker 1: hit two. But that's one we're getting. These are again
Speaker 1: the bastions and morality. These guys the defend a nation
Speaker 1: and then they'll craft all the propaganda, try to get
Speaker 1: us to believe we need them and all that. So
Speaker 1: look forward to.
Speaker 2: More of.
Speaker 1: It's going to become more sort of gotic style to come,
Speaker 1: I believe. Okay, point two, Uh, what's this stupid thing
Speaker 1: called again? Uh? Technological Republic. Point two, we must rebel
Speaker 1: against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our
Speaker 1: greatest creative, if not crowning achievement as a civilization. The
Speaker 1: object has changed our lives also now be limiting and
Speaker 1: constraints and yes, hey, don't we do that. Numbskulls are
Speaker 1: gave the stuff the the silk and act like you're
Speaker 1: criticizing yourselves. That's real funny. What they're doing here is
Speaker 1: saying They're saying, like, look, the old tech is going
Speaker 1: to be replaced by new Okay, so get ready for
Speaker 1: the latest and greatest. It's gonna be some sort of
Speaker 1: virtual reality, augmented reality enabling device. It may not even
Speaker 1: be a physical device. It's going to be enabled by
Speaker 1: it's going to have artificial intelligence integrated into it. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be great. It's gonna be way better than the
Speaker 1: crappy iPhone is, So get ready for that. So it's
Speaker 1: almost like a preview of their upcoming little toys are
Speaker 1: going throughout us, which will be the byproducts of their
Speaker 1: military contracts and all of the research that they're doing
Speaker 1: as part of that.
Speaker 3: We have.
Speaker 1: It's all great. Consumer tech has always been that and
Speaker 1: they're they're proud to carry on that tradition. Three point
Speaker 1: three free email is not enough. The decadence of a
Speaker 1: culture or civilization, and indeed it's ruling class, will be
Speaker 1: forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic
Speaker 1: growth and security for the public. Okay, now, now we're
Speaker 1: going after those evil elites that are keeping us down.
Speaker 1: Oh thank god these guys are here to do this. There.
Speaker 1: It's funny that the very ruling class that's now in
Speaker 1: charge is going to depose themselves, right, because that's what
Speaker 1: they should be saying here. But they're not. What they're
Speaker 1: doing is they're just piggybacking and rolling, steamrolling on their
Speaker 1: propaganda train that they have been using for a long time.
Speaker 1: Now you might be famililiar with it, viewers. It's pretty
Speaker 1: much anything you've ever ever heard in all media and
Speaker 1: in all media which was also used to do what
Speaker 1: it alt media and conspiracy culture ideas and this idea
Speaker 1: that internet all things to do with Internet and independent
Speaker 1: voices coming together in a grassroots political movement, We're going
Speaker 1: to depose this shadowy elite that runs our country. Guess
Speaker 1: what these guys have taken over that entire narrative. They
Speaker 1: used it and exploited it to once again put in
Speaker 1: the government they want for their own purposes. That's what
Speaker 1: this idiotic maga nonsense is. It's their little ploy to
Speaker 1: get everything that they want. And yes, they have used
Speaker 1: alternative media to do that. And right here in this
Speaker 1: stupid point number three, they're picking little bits because I
Speaker 1: can see I see every single one of these bits.
Speaker 1: I recognize it when I see it. I've been around
Speaker 1: this crap for long enough. Decadence of a culture okay,
Speaker 1: we get that all the time with the culture war stuff.
Speaker 1: You see this also in Russian propaganda likes to part
Speaker 1: this too. It's like we're a decadent civilization that deserves
Speaker 1: to go down because we don't have Christian values. Blah
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. They're pulling that out right there.
Speaker 1: The ruling class. Yes, so they're just using a buzz
Speaker 1: term as if we're going after the ruling class, which
Speaker 1: are what democrats or something like That's something idiotic, is
Speaker 1: usually what that boils down to. Oh yeah, and then
Speaker 1: they're acting like they're gonna they're going to provide economic
Speaker 1: growth and security for the public. I'm not even gonna
Speaker 1: comment on that. Let's just got to point for uh
Speaker 1: the lit hell boy, the limits of soft power, of
Speaker 1: soaring rhetoric alone have been exposed, oh boy exposed. The
Speaker 1: ability of free, democratic societies to prevail requires something more
Speaker 1: than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power
Speaker 1: in this century will be built on software. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: that's Pete Haiksath is right on that project. So don't
Speaker 1: don't even worry, mister guy. Mister praying to the God
Speaker 1: of violence is all over that. And Okay, so here
Speaker 1: they're complaining about the soft power of the old neoliberal
Speaker 1: order of which we there was a topic that of
Speaker 1: soft power, and I don't want to spend too long
Speaker 1: on this, but the soft power of the United States
Speaker 1: in being a global cultural force that everybody in the
Speaker 1: world recognizes the United States, and we have an influence
Speaker 1: because part of that is we have a cool factor
Speaker 1: because people used to like our country. People would used
Speaker 1: to be like, boy, I wish I could live in America,
Speaker 1: or they would look up to us like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: the people in America. They made jazz music, they make
Speaker 1: rock music, they have they wear jeans, they do this,
Speaker 1: you know, just all that banal stuff from culture. But
Speaker 1: more than that, politically too. We used to be admired.
Speaker 1: We're not. We haven't been for a long time, so
Speaker 1: that that is waning because we are hated now, as
Speaker 1: we should be. And I would throw it back to
Speaker 1: these scumbags writing this crap, but you know, what good
Speaker 1: is that gonna do? But once again, instead of just
Speaker 1: using soft power as if that they're saying, that's not
Speaker 1: enough anyway, even if we had that anymore, which it's fading,
Speaker 1: but if we did, it would still suck, because we
Speaker 1: just need to go around being tough, right in the
Speaker 1: same way that with the Iran war, we're acting tough
Speaker 1: in the old sense, but that's now outdated and we
Speaker 1: haven't realized that yet. Well, we need to continue being
Speaker 1: tough and we're off first. So there you go. They're
Speaker 1: kind of building on that defense. And then they stuff
Speaker 1: talking about the new form of warfare which they will
Speaker 1: profit endlessly on, and the new military industrial complex which
Speaker 1: they are, and the new establishment, the new country that
Speaker 1: they are America. Now that's what they're hoping if we
Speaker 1: allow it. Oh well, here we go. Point number five.
Speaker 1: The question is not whether AI weapons will be built.
Speaker 1: It is who will build them and for what purpose?
Speaker 1: Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates
Speaker 1: about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and
Speaker 1: national security applications. They will proceed. Okay, we've heard this
Speaker 1: a billion times, Eric Schmidt. This was his whole pitch
Speaker 1: for when he was put on like ten different AI
Speaker 1: government AI councils at the same time. Right, remember when
Speaker 1: he was doing the rounds there. This was his whole thing. Well,
Speaker 1: we got to make these new AI and emerging technology
Speaker 1: weapons because China, you know that they're gonna do it,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna they'll do it, and they'll rule the
Speaker 1: world if we let them, So we better hurry up
Speaker 1: and do it first. So this is just that. Again,
Speaker 1: it's nothing fancy about number five. It's kind of lacking
Speaker 1: in creativity. But that's been the theme so far. Zero
Speaker 1: point six. National service should be a universal duty. We
Speaker 1: should as a society seriously consider moving away from an
Speaker 1: all volunteer force and only fight the next four if
Speaker 1: everyone shares in the risk and the cost. Well, that
Speaker 1: one's not hard to decipher. They want to bring back
Speaker 1: the draft, Okay, cool, you want to start a war
Speaker 1: so that you can use your new fancy AI killer robots,
Speaker 1: your cyber warfare techniques, all this stuff that's going to
Speaker 1: keep us safe from China or from whoever, from Iran
Speaker 1: or whatever rogue terrorists pops up out of the woodwork.
Speaker 1: You're gonna keep us safe. But there will be a
Speaker 1: war that needs to be fought. And let's let's bring
Speaker 1: back the draft to get people to fight, because who
Speaker 1: the hell would want to fight in this crazy thing, right,
Speaker 1: nobody should. It's their war. They want to conscript us
Speaker 1: to fight their war. It's hard to even it's hard
Speaker 1: to commentary falls flat on this that there's there's no
Speaker 1: real You could scream at the top of your lungs.
Speaker 1: You could. I could hold my middle finger up here
Speaker 1: for just a whole hour and just have that be
Speaker 1: the show, and it would be apropos. But that would
Speaker 1: be not doing justice to what this. What this is,
Speaker 1: This is people who have taken over our country and
Speaker 1: they think they can do anything, and they'll pull off
Speaker 1: all sorts of dirty tricks and they will continue to
Speaker 1: make billions upon billions of dollars doing it. Anyway. Let's
Speaker 1: see here, one number was that Okay, National Service point
Speaker 1: six number seven. If a US marine asks for a
Speaker 1: better rifle, we should build it, And the same goes
Speaker 1: for software. We should as a country be capable of
Speaker 1: continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad
Speaker 1: while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have
Speaker 1: asked to step into arms. A way, Yeah, because now
Speaker 1: they are literally asking that the demanding Apparently the ask
Speaker 1: will be a demand because the draft will be here
Speaker 1: and they'll force you to go to their war, so
Speaker 1: they should at least give you good equipment to fight
Speaker 1: it with. And it's just more of the same thing.
Speaker 1: It's like, here, we're here to build your weapons for you.
Speaker 1: It's like every single one of these points has that
Speaker 1: same theme built into it, you see in that. Yet
Speaker 1: everybody else noticed this, right about this stupid thing. Zero
Speaker 1: point eight. Public servants need not be our priests. Any
Speaker 1: business that compensated its employees in the way that the
Speaker 1: federal government compensates public services servants would struggle to survive. Oh,
Speaker 1: the masters of libertarian ideals, the Silicon Valley engineering elite
Speaker 1: that are now running our country. Thank god, finally we
Speaker 1: have smart technocrats in there are the masters of the
Speaker 1: wonderful capitalist system. That they're just the embodiment of the
Speaker 1: wonders of capitalism and libertarian values. And so what if
Speaker 1: they're monopoly capitalists, that's their form of capitalism. They want
Speaker 1: a monopoly on everything, where the even the idea of
Speaker 1: a government is just rolled in to their gigantic military
Speaker 1: defense corporation. It's all the same thing. So what's the
Speaker 1: difference government corporation? And they'll play their little stupid semantics
Speaker 1: game where they're pretending to be political. We're libertarians, so
Speaker 1: that this is just paying lip service to anybody's, to
Speaker 1: anybody who is idiotic enough to believe any of that garbage.
Speaker 1: There you go. Public servants aren't our pretty same wore
Speaker 1: goddamn government. So there's that. Does that make you feel better?
Speaker 1: Point nine? I'm gonna lose. I'm I'm doing everything I
Speaker 1: can not to just lose it. But we'll get through this.
Speaker 1: I thin't you get a drink of water? Its real quick, Okay?
Speaker 1: Point nine? We should show far more grace towards those
Speaker 1: who have subjected themselves to public life. Oh now we
Speaker 1: feel bad for the public servants. No, we're playing good
Speaker 1: cop bad cop. But anyway, let me start over. Let
Speaker 1: me read this whole thing and see what we can
Speaker 1: make of this schizophrenic nonsense. We should show far more
Speaker 1: grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I see what's going on. The eradication of
Speaker 1: any space for forgiveness, a jettisoning of any tolerance for
Speaker 1: the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche, may leave
Speaker 1: us with a cast of characters at the helm we
Speaker 1: will grow to regret. So it's kind of foggy. I
Speaker 1: guess I gotta read the whole book to really understand
Speaker 1: this one. It sounded like they're kind of dovetailing with
Speaker 1: that last point and talking about public servants, government officials.
Speaker 1: But if you're talking about somebody in public life, it
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily mean that. It just means somebody who lives
Speaker 1: a public life and online influencer. Perhaps, you know, this
Speaker 1: gets into the world that they've built for us with
Speaker 1: their social media platforms. Everybody kind of lives a public
Speaker 1: life now, So are they referring to that anybody that
Speaker 1: we should have more grace towards the tradwives who it's
Speaker 1: so easy to criticize and the manosphere influencers. I mean
Speaker 1: those it's very easy to deride them, but we should
Speaker 1: have a little grace when when we a little understanding
Speaker 1: and put ourselves in their shoes. Wait, you don't want
Speaker 1: to be an influencer sit around at home making apple
Speaker 1: pie videos and pretending that it's, you know, going to
Speaker 1: make the country a better place, all the while Palenteer
Speaker 1: embeds itself into every office in Washington, DC. I don't know,
Speaker 1: let's try not to let's not even try to understand
Speaker 1: this one. I think we're gonna be better off that way.
Speaker 1: Number ten the psychologization, psychology, psychologization, I don't think is
Speaker 1: that a word. It might be. It's underlining it in
Speaker 1: my little app thing here as though it's not a word,
Speaker 1: but let's read it as though it is one. The
Speaker 1: psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who
Speaker 1: look to the political arena to nourish their soul and
Speaker 1: sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life, uh,
Speaker 1: finding expression in people they may never meet, will be
Speaker 1: left disappointed. Ohkay, So don't trust politicians again. Is the
Speaker 1: same point we're making, but in a different way. We're
Speaker 1: talking in a more we're getting psychological and we're doing
Speaker 1: it at a sort of a what a macrocosmic scale?
Speaker 1: That get Carl Jung here, we need him to do uh,
Speaker 1: to help us out with this analysis, right, So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean they're right with that. We shouldn't put our
Speaker 1: idea onto politicians and politics, we shouldn't play identity politics.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's funny again coming from this sect
Speaker 1: who have exploited to the fullest this very method of
Speaker 1: politics to get their way. So, you know, hypocrisy, Yes,
Speaker 1: Does everybody realize how it's hypocritical? No, because once again
Speaker 1: it's not just a regular just a known fact of
Speaker 1: what these guys have done propaganda wise to get to
Speaker 1: the point where we are and how effective it's been.
Speaker 1: Just a sad thing about it. Okay, So point eleven.
Speaker 1: Our society has grown too eager to hasten and is
Speaker 1: often gleeful at the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing
Speaker 1: of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. Well,
Speaker 1: all right, Karp, why don't you your own advice because
Speaker 1: I feel like every time you go out in public
Speaker 1: you're talking about how we need to destroy our enemies
Speaker 1: and smite them down. And how you know even enemies
Speaker 1: of the company need to be just murdered. I mean,
Speaker 1: he said things to that effect, and now I'm getting
Speaker 1: downgraded by YouTube or saying such words. But who gives
Speaker 1: a damn? So yeah, again hypocrisy. And since that's another
Speaker 1: one of the takeaways from this wonderful list of points,
Speaker 1: let's see number twelve, right, twelve, Well, we're we've we've
Speaker 1: gone past the halfway point. Thank god. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna make it through this whole thing, actually
Speaker 1: just for time alone, which is probably a good thing,
Speaker 1: but it's a number twelve. The Atomic age is ending,
Speaker 1: one age of deterrence. The atomic age is ending, and
Speaker 1: a new era of deterrence build on AI is said
Speaker 1: to begin great again, same thing, Eric Schmidt, the AI,
Speaker 1: the new Great Powers competition, the same narrative we've been
Speaker 1: hearing for years. It all center centers around artificial intelligence
Speaker 1: and emerging technologies. We have to do it first. This
Speaker 1: will be the below the new Cold War era. Whether
Speaker 1: it's cold, whether it's hot, one way or another, these
Speaker 1: guys are going to keep stoking the flames of fear
Speaker 1: and claiming national defense. There will probably be the false
Speaker 1: flag or two thrown in the mix to get us
Speaker 1: to dump more money into government contracts, which, well, we'll
Speaker 1: change the name of that. There's not gonna be there's
Speaker 1: not going to be a government anymore. That's not libertarian enough.
Speaker 1: It's we're just going to be the the Corporation of
Speaker 1: the United States of America. Okay, And that's good because
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be one giant monopoly and it's not
Speaker 1: going to be a government. It's going to be completely different. Okay,
Speaker 1: in the game only. But so the new age of deterrence.
Speaker 1: Isn't that just wonderful that they're letting us know the
Speaker 1: little excuses they're going to use to continue to make
Speaker 1: money hand over fist and keep the contracts rolling in.
Speaker 1: They're going to be very busy. They're going to be busy,
Speaker 1: and they love it. They wouldn't have any other way.
Speaker 1: They're hard workers. Nobody's taken that away from them. They
Speaker 1: love being busy, busy with all the wrong things. Thirteen.
Speaker 1: No other country in the history of the world has
Speaker 1: advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States
Speaker 1: is far from perfect, but it is easy to forget
Speaker 1: how much more opportunity exists in this country for those
Speaker 1: who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation
Speaker 1: on the planet. The sad thing is that that probably
Speaker 1: still is true for the most part. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: other places where there's opportunities, but that's how bad the
Speaker 1: world is when America is still probably one of the
Speaker 1: best places for that. So you know, just when you
Speaker 1: thought all hope was lost, the world is worse than
Speaker 1: you thought it was. Okay, So just remember that. So
Speaker 1: at least we're not somewhere else. At least we're not
Speaker 1: in me and more. Okay. Fourteen American power has made
Speaker 1: possible an extraordinarily long piece. Too many have forgotten or
Speaker 1: perhaps take for granted, that nearly a century or of
Speaker 1: some version of peace has prevailed in the world without
Speaker 1: a great power military conflict. At least three generations. Billions
Speaker 1: of people and their children and now grandchildren have never
Speaker 1: known a world war. We've just known these proxy wars,
Speaker 1: the endless wars of that aren't actually declared wars that
Speaker 1: of the American Empire. Right, we've been waring this whole time,
Speaker 1: but it hasn't been a world war. So we're lucky.
Speaker 1: But if it's up to these guys. I'm sure the
Speaker 1: World War three will be right around the corner. But
Speaker 1: maybe what they're telling us is with this again ties
Speaker 1: into the point they're making before, is the age of
Speaker 1: Terrence is definitely preferable to the World war scenario because
Speaker 1: you can just keep that going, keep that going, keep
Speaker 1: the contracts going, keep scaring people, keep building the new tech.
Speaker 1: The new tech will be used for the military, but
Speaker 1: will also be used to control the domestic population. And
Speaker 1: that's a good model. So if they can avoid the
Speaker 1: World War, hey, everybody, it will be better off. Fifteen.
Speaker 1: The post war neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone.
Speaker 1: The defanging of Germany was an over correction for which
Speaker 1: Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and
Speaker 1: highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also
Speaker 1: threatened to shift the balance of power in Asia. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: this kind of fits into the whole Great Powers competition.
Speaker 1: We got to revive Japan to go after the evil China,
Speaker 1: and maybe it's just a little foreshadowing of what's to
Speaker 1: come with all of that on the world stage. Sixteen,
Speaker 1: we should applaud those who attempt to build where the
Speaker 1: market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at
Speaker 1: Musk's interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to
Speaker 1: simply stay in their lane of enriched themselves. Any curiosity
Speaker 1: or genuine interest in the value of what he has
Speaker 1: created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a
Speaker 1: thinly veiled scorn. Oh oh, sorry, we need to thank
Speaker 1: Elon Musk more than he demands at present, which is
Speaker 1: a whole hell of a lot. That's what he's turned
Speaker 1: X into. Is already attempted to just make it his
Speaker 1: personal self gratification network, in addition to being a political
Speaker 1: propaganda platform for him and his cadre of colleagues, which
Speaker 1: here are at Pallenteer. They're all buddies, That's why they
Speaker 1: look after each other. They're all part of this elite
Speaker 1: club that are taking over our country. Now, we should
Speaker 1: applaud his efforts to want to steal the country away
Speaker 1: from all of us, attempting to build where the market
Speaker 1: has failed to act. We're almost laughing at it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right. We shouldn't be laughing at it. We should
Speaker 1: be demanding he get the hell out of our country.
Speaker 1: Him and the rest of you go away and never
Speaker 1: come back, because we know what you're doing. We know it.
Speaker 1: We're what you're up to. We're not stupid. Okay, now
Speaker 1: we know what you're going to do as well. I'm
Speaker 1: going to pull off all sorts of dirty deeds to
Speaker 1: justify your existence and justify the system that you're building.
Speaker 1: That's what this whole little piece is foreshadowing is the
Speaker 1: horrors that you have in store for us. We're aware
Speaker 1: of that, and we know that you own all media, now,
Speaker 1: all of it, the old school one that the boomers watch,
Speaker 1: the new one that's all online, and whatever else is
Speaker 1: coming in the weird virtual worlds. That will be the
Speaker 1: actual metaverse that Zuckerberg did not make, but it's coming.
Speaker 1: We understand that, we understand that the transhumanist post human
Speaker 1: nightmare is what you want to own and operate. And no,
Speaker 1: we are not going to applaud your efforts, you pieces
Speaker 1: of trash. I will only applaud when you are gone.
Speaker 1: And I don't frankly, I don't know how that's going
Speaker 1: to happen, and I don't know that it will. You might,
Speaker 1: you might just walk away with the whole thing. Enjoy it,
Speaker 1: Enjoy this dump that you've made, Keep building data centers,
Speaker 1: keep trash and everything. Yeah, you're just you're just trying
Speaker 1: to hold out and wait until nobody is born anymore,
Speaker 1: and you're the only ones left keeping yourselves alive with
Speaker 1: life extension technologies. You're gonna bring Don Laughlin back from
Speaker 1: outcore h as cryogenic tank in Arizona? Is are you
Speaker 1: gonna bring it? You gonna be nice and bring him
Speaker 1: back to hang out with you guys? Or is he
Speaker 1: he's too old West for you? O old West? Gammon?
Speaker 1: What's he gonna do hanging out with you guys? Don't
Speaker 1: even bring him back. You guys are the ones you
Speaker 1: you live forever, okay, all and you know, try not
Speaker 1: to fight amongst yourselves. I don't know what your dealings
Speaker 1: with one another are like, and frankly, I don't want
Speaker 1: to know, but I hope you're I hope it's amicable
Speaker 1: your relationships with one another, because you're the only ones
Speaker 1: that are gonna be left under your scheme. And enjoy it, Okay,
Speaker 1: enjoy the world if there is one left after what
Speaker 1: you do. Okay, have a lot of fun. Let's see
Speaker 1: what the again. I'm losing my place trying to keep
Speaker 1: up with this garbage. This is enraging, this short list
Speaker 1: of twenty two absurd paragraphs. Seventeen am I on seventeen? Yes,
Speaker 1: when I'm on seventeen. Oh, Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley must
Speaker 1: play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across
Speaker 1: the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to
Speaker 1: violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem
Speaker 1: or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors
Speaker 1: in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should
Speaker 1: be a desperate bid to save lives. Oh good, you're
Speaker 1: going to be the ones bringing law in order to
Speaker 1: the streets, that to the decadent and evil blue cities
Speaker 1: that we know all about those blue cities and how
Speaker 1: they're just overridden by crime. There's crime everywhere, lawlessness, no morality,
Speaker 1: no decency, Just homeless people killing homeless people of color
Speaker 1: of course, killing poor, defenseless white women every five minutes.
Speaker 1: This is happening. We know this because your wonderful social
Speaker 1: media feeds have made us all aware of the horrible
Speaker 1: problems that I'm outlining here. Thank you for thank you
Speaker 1: for bringing awareness to this very important issue of crime
Speaker 1: absolutely everywhere. It's all around us, complete lawlessness. I can't
Speaker 1: wait to see the total panopticon surveillance hellescape police state.
Speaker 1: Can't wait to see you not only create military hardware
Speaker 1: for the military to use abroad, but I can't wait
Speaker 1: for you to use that same technology and sell it
Speaker 1: to law enforcement and build a domestic police state to
Speaker 1: keep us all safe. Right, that's what you want. We
Speaker 1: know what Ellison said about this. I feel safe already,
Speaker 1: so safe. And once again getting back to the propaganda
Speaker 1: aspect that you fools have been running on us a
Speaker 1: whole time with the MAGA BS. That was a big
Speaker 1: that was always one of the huge talking points of
Speaker 1: the campaigning. The political campaign is was Oh god man,
Speaker 1: I'm so tired law and order. Law and order was
Speaker 1: one of the buzz terms for the campaigning of this
Speaker 1: nightmare government that you've installed. So thank you. I can't
Speaker 1: wait to see how you shift years after you dump
Speaker 1: the old man that you are now. I love how
Speaker 1: you're getting all of your right wing social media media
Speaker 1: producing numbskulls out there to be in unison to go
Speaker 1: against the guy that was God's gift to America. Who's
Speaker 1: going to save all of us in twenty sixteen and
Speaker 1: in this past election, save us from the evil, demonic
Speaker 1: Democrats that are Satan worship. I love how you're you're
Speaker 1: having your little media toadies tell us that the old
Speaker 1: man it sucks now and we're supposed to just believe
Speaker 1: them when they just on a dime turn and act
Speaker 1: as though they care that they really care about anything.
Speaker 1: First of all, once again, we're not stupid. You think
Speaker 1: we're stupid, but we're not. You think you can just
Speaker 1: keep I know you're getting You're gonna up. This is
Speaker 1: an attempt at changing the narrative. And you think people
Speaker 1: are just gonna listen to these idiots, Well, at least
Speaker 1: replace them. Can we get some new faces. I'm sure
Speaker 1: we will, and I'm giving you suggestions which I should
Speaker 1: stop doing. But whatever, Once again, losing my place. Silicon
Speaker 1: Valley A violent crime God help the police State's coming,
Speaker 1: brought to you by the new military industrial Complex. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be like OCP and RoboCop right number eighteen. The ruthless.
Speaker 1: The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures
Speaker 1: drives far too much talent away from government service, the
Speaker 1: public arena, and the shallow and petty assaults against those
Speaker 1: who dare to do something other than enrich themselves has
Speaker 1: become so unforgiving that the Republic is left with a
Speaker 1: significant roster of ineffectual empty vessels, whose ambition one would
Speaker 1: forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm just gonna go over that one.
Speaker 1: I cant I feeling the need to talk about that.
Speaker 1: You guys own, You guys own these politicians. Now you
Speaker 1: put them in place a quick crying about it, all right?
Speaker 1: The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive.
Speaker 1: Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all.
Speaker 1: You're happy with what I'm saying? No, you like the
Speaker 1: things I say here? Why don't you blast it out
Speaker 1: on all the social media? Why why don't you get
Speaker 1: your little influencers to repost the show I'm doing right now?
Speaker 1: How about that? Oh, here's a better idea. Why don't
Speaker 1: you have everything I say taken, distill it into a
Speaker 1: completely new message that fits your agendas, of course, and
Speaker 1: repackage it with once again the same idiotic influencers that
Speaker 1: brought us this ridiculous magat administration at your behalf and
Speaker 1: get them to get the message out, because I know
Speaker 1: that's your game, and we'll see. I can't wait to
Speaker 1: see how that works out. It's going to be great.
Speaker 1: Twenty The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles
Speaker 1: must be resisted. The elites intolerance of religious belief is
Speaker 1: perhaps one of the most telling signs that it's political
Speaker 1: project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within
Speaker 1: it would claim. Okay, I'll just break that down as
Speaker 1: keep pretending to be Christian, Keep pretending to be Christian,
Speaker 1: keep playing the Alexander Dugan playbook with your propaganda. Twenty one.
Speaker 1: Some cultures have produced vital advances, others remain dysfunctional and regressive.
Speaker 1: All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden.
Speaker 1: Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain
Speaker 1: cultures and indeed subcultures, have produced wonders. Others have proven
Speaker 1: middling and worse regressive and harmful. Are we the good one?
Speaker 1: Are we the one that produced the good stuff? You're
Speaker 1: giving me a lot of cause to wonder about that,
Speaker 1: But I'm sure you'll tell us what to believe soon enough,
Speaker 1: so I'll just wait for further orders on that twenty two.
Speaker 1: We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and
Speaker 1: hollow pluralism. We in America and more broadly the West,
Speaker 1: have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures
Speaker 1: in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what. Yeah,
Speaker 1: enough of that woke crap. Already, enough of that multi
Speaker 1: cultural cultural Marxism stuff, pat it with. That's it up.
Speaker 1: We need our culture, we need to be proud of it.
Speaker 1: Okay again, just keep weaving your stupid, idiotic right wing
Speaker 1: pretending to be libertarian political propaganda, and keep keep pumping
Speaker 1: up the culture war because it's it's got you this far.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see how where you take it next,
Speaker 1: what at leasts and turns you have in store for
Speaker 1: us down the road, and what your AI programs suggest
Speaker 1: to you directions to take it now, because presumably you're
Speaker 1: using that to help out with steering all of this
Speaker 1: now right, Just advanced analytics tools is all it is
Speaker 1: with you know, AI pattern systems. They're working in the
Speaker 1: magic palenteer. That's what you do that's what Palenteer does.
Speaker 1: It's a company. They're good at what they do. You're
Speaker 1: good at what you do, Okay, there's no denying that
Speaker 1: you're good at what you do. And what you do
Speaker 1: is destroy the country that was America for your own
Speaker 1: selfish benefit. Once again, enjoy the world when nobody's left
Speaker 1: except for the twelve of you. Try not to fight, okay,
Speaker 1: have fun with one another. I can't wait to not
Speaker 1: be here. You guys talk about living forever, talking about
Speaker 1: living forever. They mean it too. That's what they want.
Speaker 1: They think they can do it. They're going to try first.
Speaker 1: They just had to make everything horrible for the rest
Speaker 1: of us on our way out. Presumably, thank you, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. That point about Elon Musk. We don't thank
Speaker 1: him enough. Oh here, I'm rectifying the situation. Thank you,
Speaker 1: sir for all you've done for us. Ah, it's you
Speaker 1: deserve a hero's welcome, true heroes. These guys altruistic moral
Speaker 1: bastions of morality that they're they're going to give our
Speaker 1: nation identity. They're gonna dump the woke crap. They're going
Speaker 1: to that religion. Uh, they're going to prop up religion somehow,
Speaker 1: which remains nebulous what they're gonna do. But for now,
Speaker 1: they're really Christian. They're they're they're the biggest Christians you've
Speaker 1: ever seen. They're definitely not atheists. They're definitely not nihilists,
Speaker 1: they're definitely not transhumanists. They're none of those things. Okay,
Speaker 1: none of that scary stuff that their media system has
Speaker 1: propagandized you to, all the things that they have told
Speaker 1: you to be afraid of, they're not those things. All
Speaker 1: those things are the Democrats. Okay, just remember that. Make
Speaker 1: sure you don't vote for them in a coming election.
Speaker 1: We need to get to a point where there are
Speaker 1: no elections anymore, and pallanteer just predictively picks the next
Speaker 1: best technician to put into place in any position of power,
Speaker 1: because it will know all the best candidates. And you know,
Speaker 1: there's systems again to know who's going to best be
Speaker 1: able to do what job. So why would we leave
Speaker 1: voting up to the moronic public. We've seen what happens
Speaker 1: when we allow that, And the ironic thing is they
Speaker 1: might actually get to a point where they'll be like,
Speaker 1: remember when we when the public vote for Trump, God,
Speaker 1: they were stupid. We gotta prevent that. I could see
Speaker 1: these guys doing that. I could see that that's exactly
Speaker 1: what they would do. I'm not trying to make a prediction,
Speaker 1: but damn that would be and they would laugh their
Speaker 1: butts off. They think. You think you're so clever, you
Speaker 1: think you're so smart, and you know you can pull it.
Speaker 1: You know that you could pull it off. That's a
Speaker 1: sad thing. I agree with the fact that it could
Speaker 1: be done. And when you look at things a certain way,
Speaker 1: it looks like you're trying to do this sort of thing.
Speaker 1: But just realize that a couple people see what you're
Speaker 1: doing for what that's worth, probably nothing, And we're not
Speaker 1: applauding what you're doing. We've seen you this whole time,
Speaker 1: with all of your posturing like your God's gift to freedom.
Speaker 1: We know better, we know better. You're never going to change,
Speaker 1: and we've seen it all along a couple of us.
Speaker 1: How many people can end up seeing it in time?
Speaker 1: And will it even make a difference, I don't know. Whatever,
Speaker 1: probably doesn't make a difference. Something's going to happen. These
Speaker 1: guys are going to put their best foot forward and
Speaker 1: trying to get everything that they want so that's the
Speaker 1: one thing that we know will happen. They want to
Speaker 1: bring back the draft and it's for a war that
Speaker 1: they will profit from and control and push society forward
Speaker 1: with their agenda. It looks like I do see comments
Speaker 1: on YouTube the whole time. I didn't mean to be
Speaker 1: ignoring them. If if that's what it seemed like, they're
Speaker 1: very small on my display here. Let me just see
Speaker 1: who it was. Oh, Gelochio, Hey, what's up man? Well,
Speaker 1: I'll say hello to you now. I'm sorry that I
Speaker 1: wasn't replying to it. But anyway, Yeah, the golf you

Speaker 7: information about the Cuban missile crisis. President Kennedy would not
Speaker 7: have been assassinated if he had been president two hundred
Speaker 7: years ago. His assassination took place in the context of
Speaker 7: the Cold War and the rise of the national security state.
Speaker 7: Before World War II, the United States was a continental republic.
Speaker 7: In the decade that followed, it became an imperial super
Speaker 7: Generals such as Curtis LeMay not only wanted to invade Cuba,
Speaker 7: but knew that there were short range missiles on the
Speaker 7: island armed with nuclear warheads that they could not destroy
Speaker 7: Because they were on mobile launchers. Their invasion could have
Speaker 7: led to a Third World War, and they wanted to
Speaker 7: go to war anyway. The War State by Michael Swanson

Speaker 8: I think.
Speaker 13: I don't know if they picked I'm not sure about
Speaker 13: that one. But there was something else that they were

Speaker 5: Yeah, I know you will, I know, I get updated with.
Speaker 14: Okay, So that's the draft. The draft is on going tomorrow.

Speaker 8: I know you got most of the guys you asked for.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 8: Yeah, cards are selling like crazy, though they're they're they're
Speaker 8: every old card sells, you know, constantly, So you know

Speaker 8: But some of those other guys. You know, you asked
Speaker 8: for some strange guys too, So.
Speaker 1: We're strange. We're strange guys, and we asked for strange guys.
Speaker 1: That's how he goes. Uh, let me go through the
Speaker 1: list here. I'm gonna So we had that Buster Pusey

Speaker 1: memorial thing, him holding on the ball up above his head.
Speaker 1: They've got Dalton Rushing from the Dodgers. I'm having trouble
Speaker 1: reading it, but it's Dalton Rushing. We got him. It's
Speaker 1: a newer card we've got. Who's this Wills, Maury Wills?
Speaker 1: This isn't this is dated nineteen sixty two, but it's
Speaker 1: like a reissue of a nineteen sixty two card turned
Speaker 1: back the clock. Those were the Nylan Ryan carts that
Speaker 1: we sent. You were like that too, Chuck. Were the
Speaker 1: style of card right reprinting.
Speaker 8: You know, some stuff was reprint some stuff was you know, new,
Speaker 8: and I tried to mix it up good and more. Wills.
Speaker 8: I just standed in because he's like, you know, Hall
Speaker 8: of Famer guy, that's why.
Speaker 1: Sure, Okay, let's see what else we've got. This is, Oh,
Speaker 1: this is a playing card, an ace of spades, Roger Clemens.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, and I saw that. That's different, and that
Speaker 5: is different. I saw that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting, we have that. Here's another looks like
Speaker 1: another Dodger. Yes, it's oh, Mookie Batsky and it's sort
Speaker 1: of it's it's horizontally oriented the front of the card,
Speaker 1: which is unusual for a baseball card. And so there
Speaker 1: he is. It's like he's on the field. We've got
Speaker 1: a Chicago Cubs. Who's this Mitch Williams.
Speaker 8: Mitch Williams, you guys mentioned, Yeah, that's why he's in there.
Speaker 8: Did wed I.
Speaker 1: Want to say we did we send you Mitch Williams
Speaker 1: cards too? I thought we did, or maybe I'm thinking
Speaker 1: of somebody else.
Speaker 8: There's another guy, there's another guy with a similar name
Speaker 8: on the Mets.
Speaker 2: You sent me that.
Speaker 8: That's that's what you're thinking of?
Speaker 1: Who played in the Here's Mitch Williams on the Rangers.
Speaker 1: You got the Rangers card and Mitch Williams in addition
Speaker 1: to the Cubs. So there he is again. Carlton Carlton Fisk. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is like a red and orange card the Boston
Speaker 1: White Sox. Carlton Fisk we've got another whole. Oh a
Speaker 1: second Fisk card of him on the White Sox again.
Speaker 1: So two cards of him so far. Nineteen ninety highlight
Speaker 1: of Carlton Fisks. There's another third for Fisk and this
Speaker 1: is some highlight. These look good on video, these cards,
Speaker 1: they should pretty well on video, I guess say so. Anyway,
Speaker 1: what else? Somebody slides this Buster posey again? Yeah, another
Speaker 1: Buster posey. It shows him sliding into home or a bass.
Speaker 1: It looks like he's signing in a home plate. So
Speaker 1: there's another Buster posey. Giants once again. Another Carlton Fisk
Speaker 1: White Sox. This one's in like a plastic wrapper. There
Speaker 1: we go. So Carlton Fisk is back. We've got Oh,
Speaker 1: here he is. Here's show Heyo Tani as a Dodger,
Speaker 1: Show Heyo Tani as a Dodger.
Speaker 8: I made sure to give you. Yeah, I made sure
Speaker 8: to give you Dodgers and Angels. Otani's so had both.
Speaker 1: Oh there's an Angelian, Well, here's here's here's an interesting
Speaker 1: one and National League Leaders that features Otani, Schwarber, and
Speaker 1: Soto all on the card. Yep, so I did ask
Speaker 1: for Schwarber. You threw in Otani there, and Soto makes
Speaker 1: his way in there because he's on this list of
Speaker 1: was this for home runs or something? Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: a top home run guys, which Schwarber tops it for
Speaker 1: this one? That's something different. You got a joker card,
Speaker 1: just a typical playing card with what is this? That
Speaker 1: was a joke on the bike.
Speaker 5: That's a joke that I was thinking that might have
Speaker 5: been the Is.
Speaker 1: The joker a joke?
Speaker 5: That's the joke. But there's no pen. That's not a car,
Speaker 5: that's not a baseball card. That's a joker. Get what
Speaker 5: I mean?
Speaker 1: Jokers joking us.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Plus I wanted to pad the cards to make sure
Speaker 8: nothing happened to him, you know, So I wo' stuff
Speaker 8: around them to make sure that they wouldn't get banged
Speaker 8: up or anything in the mail. So I added the
Speaker 8: joker card and a couple other things just to pan.
Speaker 5: Them a little.
Speaker 1: Oh, we've got somebody in the chat here. Ken Vasquez
Speaker 1: five or eight asking, uh, you guys, asking, do you
Speaker 1: guys ever go to the stadium before the game to
Speaker 1: hound the players for autographs?
Speaker 5: I would love to, but I never can get there.
Speaker 5: Nobody wants to go.
Speaker 1: He's saying that players would would avoid the crowd by
Speaker 1: going through the alternative entrance if they were over I
Speaker 1: have you ever done that trying to get autographs.
Speaker 5: I tried to, but you have. There was no way.
Speaker 5: You can't get them once you can get to your seat.
Speaker 13: Oh unless you've got a good seat down below, then
Speaker 13: you can get in there.
Speaker 5: Then you can see them. They can give me an
Speaker 5: a gift.
Speaker 1: I ken want to if we're up to that. So yeah,
Speaker 1: uncles tried. Uncles tried to do that.
Speaker 5: I mean, but we had to have good seats.
Speaker 1: It's all about the seats.
Speaker 5: It's all about getting the good seats to get a.
Speaker 1: Good the seats. The seats that are real good in
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium are the outfield deck. I remember left field. Man,
Speaker 1: it is wild back there. Everybody's drunk. It's a party
Speaker 1: time out there. Oh man, they're trunk.
Speaker 5: Oh drunk. I thought you said skunk, Yeah I did.
Speaker 1: They're drunk. As one. Dodger Stadium is much more a
Speaker 1: party atmosphere than Angel Stadium. Angel Stadium the big as
Speaker 1: a little lame.
Speaker 11: I know.
Speaker 13: I've noticed that when I was when I was at
Speaker 13: the stadium, when I went to a game, I went
Speaker 13: to a game.
Speaker 1: It's fun to go.
Speaker 5: They need a couple of those.
Speaker 1: Good for the kids.
Speaker 5: But but but it was lame, as you said, it
Speaker 5: wasn't like the Dodger state different.
Speaker 1: Let me go through the rest of these cards. Got another.
Speaker 1: This is Schwarper yet again from the Phillies. This is
Speaker 1: a small, like old style card, like tiny like sort
Speaker 1: of thinner and little things.
Speaker 8: This is him on again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's like sort of throwback car there. He
Speaker 1: is Tobacco cards. It's Trey Turner as a Philly after
Speaker 1: he left the Dodgers. We need to find him as
Speaker 1: a Dodger now. But here he is as a Philadelphia Philly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is him. Uncle. You know this guy, right, you've
Speaker 1: seen this guy before, Trey Turner. Oh yes, yes, remember
Speaker 1: when the Dodgers had Turner and Turner and it was
Speaker 1: a little Yes, he was one of them. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: let's yeah, we got a couple more cards. We've got Oh,
Speaker 1: this one, Oh, I like this one. This is street
Speaker 1: Fighter from the movie The Street Fighter from the nineties.
Speaker 1: It looks to be a still from the movie. It's
Speaker 1: just it's the speed boat going through the whole Scott's
Speaker 1: on the back and like what's going on in the scene.
Speaker 1: It's pretty I like that one, Chuck, This is fun.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I thought uncle would like some of those odd cards
Speaker 8: in there, so you know, and you like them too,
Speaker 8: so there you go.
Speaker 5: Oh I was wondering with that lunch.
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, I wasn't looking at him closely at these
Speaker 13: at these.
Speaker 1: Street Fighter to the movie based on the arcade game
Speaker 1: from the nineties. So that's well. And you guys do
Speaker 1: those video cards?
Speaker 8: You guys do those video games?
Speaker 1: Should we do?
Speaker 8: Good?
Speaker 1: Yes? And we played street Fighter too on one of
Speaker 1: those streams.
Speaker 5: So how many was that?
Speaker 1: That's that's all the baseball cards that we have in
Speaker 1: this pile, and then it's these stickers that you sent,
Speaker 1: which are also fun. But no more baseball cards.
Speaker 8: Okay, so you're mission. You're mission. At least one mailer
Speaker 8: that's still on its way. Then that's what she.
Speaker 1: Would still have.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's still coming. Yep, you still have more, some
Speaker 13: more coming. Okay, Okay, then I have to look. I'm
Speaker 13: nothing through the mail and nothing yet.
Speaker 1: Very exciting. Now, Chuck, we did send that pile to you?
Speaker 5: What what?
Speaker 1: Uh? How did that go? Were you happy to find
Speaker 1: any of the things that we did send or what
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on the things that we sent you?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 8: Yeah, every everything in that box was was great because
Speaker 8: I need to rebuild my Mets collection, you know. And uh,
Speaker 8: the only unhappy thing is you sent me Bobby Benia.
Speaker 8: But that's all right, I understand.
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, yes, he was a he wasn't even. I
Speaker 1: sent that as a little bit of a joke, that one.
Speaker 5: Wasn't he a bet?
Speaker 1: Well he was. He wasn't a Met.
Speaker 8: No, he wasn't.
Speaker 5: He wasn't he wasn't mad he was.
Speaker 1: But on the cards that I sent, he wasn't even.
Speaker 1: He was on other teams, And I just thought it
Speaker 1: was funny because he comes up so often in conversation
Speaker 1: on the show. I'm like, oh, I got to put
Speaker 1: a couple of these. I did that. I need you
Speaker 1: to appreciate that because.
Speaker 8: The Mets were paying him, and the Mets paid him
Speaker 8: off for like twenty years after he stopped playing for
Speaker 8: him because he was so bad, and every time they
Speaker 8: traded him to another team, they ended up paying part
Speaker 8: of this massive salary to the other team. So, but
Speaker 8: the you guys sent me a couple of them. On
Speaker 8: the Pirates, I was like, Okay, whatever I did.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh he did, you did. He's picking them out
Speaker 5: and I'm.
Speaker 1: Well, oh, it looks like Ken is there in the
Speaker 1: chat again and he's giving us more tips on how
Speaker 1: to get these autographs. He says, Yeah. He's saying, like
Speaker 1: back in the day, at certain stadiums, if you would
Speaker 1: go to the stadium seven to eight hours before the game,
Speaker 1: the home team players would have to check in at
Speaker 1: the stadium before the games, and then that's where you
Speaker 1: could hound.
Speaker 14: That's pretty early, uncle, he ever did that.
Speaker 5: They never get that. We never get there that early.
Speaker 8: Well, some stadiums.
Speaker 5: Here, we have to get at that point that early
Speaker 5: just to do that. Yeah, you're talking about what he's
Speaker 5: talking about.
Speaker 1: That's like a job.
Speaker 8: Yeah. No, the stadium's on the East coast, right, You
Speaker 8: go like two or three hours early, and you can
Speaker 8: catch these guys in batting practice and then you can
Speaker 8: try and call them over. You just go all the
Speaker 8: way down to the field because nobody's seated yet. You know,
Speaker 8: if you can get access to the stadium. But it's
Speaker 8: hard to do and very few people get it.
Speaker 1: But leave me.
Speaker 8: There's plenty of TikTok videos that people getting signatures too,
Speaker 8: especially kids. But but there's plenty of signatures being gotten,
Speaker 8: and you know, the kids getting it, but they're getting
Speaker 8: it for the dad, you know what I mean. It's
Speaker 8: pretty funny. But yeah, they go like two three hours early,
Speaker 8: and these guys are in batting practice and some of
Speaker 8: them are just standing around like if they're a picture.
Speaker 8: They can only warm up so many pictures on the side,
Speaker 8: you know. So like some of those guys are just
Speaker 8: standing there, and some of them will come over if
Speaker 8: you call to them, you know. So that's something you
Speaker 8: can do on the East.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 8: I don't know how the security is on the west.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I've never tried that. I mean,
Speaker 1: that sounds like a good suggestion. But man, also, I
Speaker 1: don't know I had enough time to do that kind
Speaker 1: of thing, especially now these days. But it's a good idea.
Speaker 1: It's a good idea.
Speaker 13: So I do I do get started some No one
Speaker 13: else has these basketball coins or hockey carts.
Speaker 5: You guys got any of them?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I got hockey goes, I have them.
Speaker 8: I got some. I got a little bit of hockey,
Speaker 8: a little bit.
Speaker 1: Of basketball, not much, but a little bit. Oh you do, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got quite a bit of basketball uncle from the nineties.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I was going to go through the basketball if
Speaker 13: someone if they're interested in training some of them.
Speaker 5: If you're interested in Chuck.
Speaker 8: Well, the nineties basketball, Yeah, the nineties basketball. You might
Speaker 8: want to look at the resale on them because a
Speaker 8: lot of that stuff is way up because you got Jordan,
Speaker 8: a whole bunch of guys playing early on or even
Speaker 8: rookie cards that are worth a lot of money, you
Speaker 8: know right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, the basketball is Yeah, we've got to go
Speaker 1: through them. We got to, Yeah, we should. We might
Speaker 1: have to do. I mean, there's so many cards, but
Speaker 1: we might just have to go in and do the
Speaker 1: work and pick throm and see if we can find
Speaker 1: something good, because.
Speaker 13: I'm sure I got it quite a bit of few
Speaker 13: good stuff in.
Speaker 1: Me that's got to be mixed. Well, you got Apple tech, right,
Speaker 1: Oh you're talking about how just show the pictures to
Speaker 1: AI and let it let the AI tell you if
Speaker 1: it's valuable.
Speaker 8: Well, there's the AI, but there's also apps specifically designed
Speaker 8: to go search prices.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, oh my gosh, sorry, Well, I mean I
Speaker 1: have seen ads. You know what is interesting when I
Speaker 1: am on TikTok. I get ads specifically for this shirts
Speaker 1: at the thrift store, because this is what I do.
Speaker 1: I go to get shirts and resell them. So it
Speaker 1: knows that. And so it's like, here, get this app,
Speaker 1: and what you do is you just wave your camera
Speaker 1: at it and it'll show you. You know, what's what.
Speaker 1: Anything happens to be worse at any given time. So
Speaker 1: I've seen that app. So of course there's one for cards.
Speaker 13: Well, we got to get those, then, I think that's
Speaker 13: what we're gonna have to get.
Speaker 5: Do we have to get the apps? Can we get
Speaker 5: the apps? Where do we get them?
Speaker 13: They're out there, man, because I could use them because,
Speaker 13: like you're saying, I got the expensive cards, I want
Speaker 13: to see what.
Speaker 5: I really do have. I don't even know I'm collecting
Speaker 5: these cords and I don't know what good and what
Speaker 5: the good ones like.
Speaker 1: It would be nice just to have an app where
Speaker 1: you just go card by cart, you're hold in front
Speaker 1: of a camera at it tells you thirty dollars, like, oh,
Speaker 1: we got a good one here. Maybe you can call
Speaker 1: it up one dollar like okay, another one.
Speaker 8: Well That's what I'm telling you. There is there is
Speaker 8: an Apple that does them. Sure, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 8: There's exactly an Apple does.
Speaker 1: That of course. Yep. Yeah, I want to get in,
Speaker 1: We want to get in. Yeah, okay, Uncle, put down
Speaker 1: the to get app list. We definitely need that.
Speaker 13: One because I'm going to have to go through because

Speaker 1: Fully valuable cards. We will put them up as their
Speaker 1: own online auction that you buy that individual card. Maybe
Speaker 1: we'll even go to cards shop and get graded by somebody.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll do that and that'll help us list it.
Speaker 1: And then we'll definitely do that, so we'll see. But yeah,
Speaker 1: this this just goes to show Uncle, we need to
Speaker 1: further our efforts in becoming full time resellers. I mean,

Speaker 1: to be on a million views. We did excited.
Speaker 5: You have to get something different.
Speaker 13: I'm I'm thinking to a point, let's get something different
Speaker 13: to say. But we haven't had to go to the
Speaker 13: place store and get these things to do something different.
Speaker 1: Something different. Yeah, that's what people come to our tic
Speaker 1: tac for something something a little bit different. I think
Speaker 1: we provide that service as content creators is something different.
Speaker 1: It's the one thing I think maybe we're able to do.
Speaker 1: So I'm proud. I'm proud of what we're doing. Uncle.
Speaker 1: We're making content.
Speaker 13: And we ever get crazy drunk beer. Bob come, we
Speaker 13: got the drinks still in the fridge.
Speaker 1: We do. I ought to invite him back soon because yeah,
Speaker 1: we have those. We have two more drinks that he
Speaker 1: he obviously has already reviewed them on his show Bumming
Speaker 1: with Bobcat and Bumplinebob dot Com. So check those out.
Speaker 1: But we want to have him here on our show
Speaker 1: where he can help us understand what we're drinking. So
Speaker 1: we have that what was it, the four local Camo
Speaker 1: and the other what's the other drink? Oh?
Speaker 13: Oh empty twin dragon food we got.
Speaker 5: That's the one. I'm waiting to taste. That is when
Speaker 5: I'm waiting to taste because I.
Speaker 1: Like dragon good flavor. Yeah, I'm always surprised.
Speaker 5: And I'm still waiting to put that tree up that no, no,
Speaker 5: that that the tree and get them get the stuff
Speaker 5: to build it. I'm been waiting.
Speaker 1: You're ready to build a tree that.
Speaker 5: That dragon food tree.
Speaker 1: I've been waiting this is a landscaping issue.
Speaker 5: Landscable.
Speaker 1: A neighbor slash friend gave us a dragon fruit plant,
Speaker 1: which is a succulent plant, and they grow on the
Speaker 1: ground here, and Uncle's been asking me to plant in
Speaker 1: the ground. I haven't because to do it the right way,
Speaker 1: you really want to build a trellis like out of
Speaker 1: wood or something, so that the plant climbs up it
Speaker 1: and then when it gets at the top, it's cascades
Speaker 1: over like a wide You make it wide at the
Speaker 1: top of cascades over, and then that holds the fruit
Speaker 1: up in the air, so that's not on the ground
Speaker 1: because it'll just crawl across the ground otherwise.
Speaker 5: So let's let's just let's what are we doing this weekend?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 1: Probably nothing.
Speaker 5: Let's go to the store and get that stuff. Okay,
Speaker 5: And well, WI least get it the stuff.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: I think I know where I would plan it, and
Speaker 1: I know basically how I would make the trella.
Speaker 5: Says, we'll do that for this weekend.
Speaker 1: There we go, We got our plans in order.
Speaker 5: Very good waiting dragon But also I'd like to.
Speaker 1: Drink the empty twenty twenty dragon fruit as well.
Speaker 13: Well, then that's waiting and That's why I'm waiting on
Speaker 13: Crazy Bomb.
Speaker 5: Get him on. We need Bob now, I need him
Speaker 5: to come on the show.
Speaker 1: Well he was here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we did. We did the ninety nine.
Speaker 2: Oh what was it?
Speaker 1: We did the cold forty five, the.
Speaker 5: Coked forty five. I'd like to get him think the
Speaker 5: last one that got in.
Speaker 1: But the new Colt forty five, which was clearly different
Speaker 1: than the old. I definitely noticed the difference. So that
Speaker 1: was interesting. Oh we got action in the cracker room
Speaker 1: once again. It's Ken once again. He's saying, isn't it
Speaker 1: too risky to let it grow in the ground in
Speaker 1: the Inmann Empire because the gophers will mess it up?
Speaker 1: Or you guys don't have gophers at your place, I
Speaker 1: think it's safer to go raise beds. No, we have
Speaker 1: not had There are gophers around here, but I haven't
Speaker 1: had problems with them going after our stuff, and we
Speaker 1: have a lot of stuff planted here, so I would
Speaker 1: be confident in growing it in the ground. You could
Speaker 1: do a raised bed, or you could even grow it
Speaker 1: in a pot. I've seen these videos online where there's
Speaker 1: this uh specialized nursery that makes these really big pots
Speaker 1: and they are fully they're dragon fruits, like, here's this
Speaker 1: variety of dragon here's that we have these. You could
Speaker 1: get that, but it's a giant pot. They build the
Speaker 1: trellis in the pot and then that's how you buy
Speaker 1: it and they bring it to here. So lots of
Speaker 1: different options. I'd probably put it in the ground and
Speaker 1: then i'd build the trellis right in the ground.
Speaker 5: We may do that this weekend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a I'm trying to remember Ken, you're our neighbor,
Speaker 1: uh around these parts, right, You're you're out here in
Speaker 1: like Sambordino or something. I think if I remember, Uh,
Speaker 1: let's see here. Yeah, it's Ken's still there. So dragon
Speaker 1: fruits everybody. The kind of things that you can grow
Speaker 1: when you're out here in California. One of the benefits
Speaker 1: of being out here just you can just throw something
Speaker 1: like that in the ground and it will grow.
Speaker 14: We had we had them in Orange, Well, neighbors had
Speaker 14: them planning, you know when we had a wall.
Speaker 5: Remember we did it.
Speaker 1: On a by we you mean that you would walk
Speaker 1: around the neighborhood wall. People don't planning now.
Speaker 13: Back yond an all house, okay, but on our own house,
Speaker 13: the small house.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, when we lived in Orange. Was did
Speaker 1: a neighbor have it and it crawled over the wall
Speaker 1: to our house? Of a dragon fruit or was it there?
Speaker 1: We never ended up planning dragon fruit and Orange. Well
Speaker 1: you are I know, I know it was.
Speaker 5: It was going to the wall.
Speaker 1: I know what you're remembering, you're you're remembering. We did
Speaker 1: a grape vine, I believe. And then there were neighbors
Speaker 1: who had them and you would walk around the neighborhood
Speaker 1: and where you could grab fruits that grew over the
Speaker 1: walls and up and over, and that might have been
Speaker 1: one of them.
Speaker 5: No, No, it was in the back yard.
Speaker 1: Okay, well I know know what was blown.
Speaker 5: But it was something in our backyard.
Speaker 13: We had a yeah, of something had fruits and and
Speaker 13: it was and it was glown like the dragon fruit
Speaker 13: hooked on to the wall.
Speaker 5: But it was something.
Speaker 1: I think it was a grape vine we did. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I believe that's what that was. That was trellist in
Speaker 1: the back wall that we had. I believe if I remember,
Speaker 1: I know we didn't do a dragon fruit there and
Speaker 1: we still haven't done one here. But we need to.
Speaker 5: Rectify that, and it'd better be this weekend.
Speaker 1: Kenn is saying I planted several avocado fruit trees agave plants,
Speaker 1: and those gophers messed me up big time. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: he's up by Ontario. Awesome, okay, cool awesome, Ken, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: very good, thanks for joining us here. Yeah, okay, so
Speaker 1: he's had problems with the gophers. I know that they
Speaker 1: are a problem that the big box stores have a
Speaker 1: lot of you know, like pests products to deal with
Speaker 1: the gophers. But luckily we haven't had issues of them ourselves.
Speaker 1: I want to keep it that way. We'll see gophers, uncle,
Speaker 1: they're a scourge, clue.
Speaker 13: I've seen a little holes in them. The dogs when
Speaker 13: I walk them, they smell them underneath. Even keon he
Speaker 13: goes nuts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll definitely smell smell.
Speaker 13: Them suckers down. Man, She's he's going for the lizards
Speaker 13: right now.
Speaker 1: Lots of lizards, lizards all over the place. I here,
Speaker 1: lots of lots of wildlife out here, all sorts of
Speaker 1: christ crawling around and flying around and living in a
Speaker 1: garden and wanting to eat everything that you might grow
Speaker 1: in a garden. Or so. Yeah, yeah, let's see. Let
Speaker 1: me check down tic Tac once again, because I want
Speaker 1: to see last time I checked, we were getting some likes.
Speaker 1: Coolly had been there. Yeah, let's see, it looks like,
Speaker 1: let me check the o'chilli. We haven't had a lot
Speaker 1: of action in the OLI chat room. It looks like,
Speaker 1: uh like things kind.
Speaker 8: Of leveled off.
Speaker 5: What's twelve?
Speaker 1: The twelve? What total viewers?
Speaker 5: Wait?
Speaker 1: Diamonds?
Speaker 5: The diamonds.
Speaker 1: Somebody might have given us a diamond, but I who
Speaker 1: was it?
Speaker 5: Who was it? I see that eight? What was the diamond?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 1: Okay, if anybody on tik tak actually drop those diamond
Speaker 1: things on us, thank you. It was we got. But
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like we have enough likes that people
Speaker 1: would be dropping those diamond things. But maybe they did.
Speaker 1: I'm a little confused.
Speaker 11: You know what, what.
Speaker 1: Might know? What happened?
Speaker 8: Diamonds? I think you can use for other stuff. Hey, listen,
Speaker 8: you got a call? Uh so I wanted to bring
Speaker 8: them on? Yeah you ready?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, go ahead, zoom on, yeah, waiting calls?
Speaker 3: No problem, Here we go A man, this is ed
Speaker 3: and uh I got a report. I got a little
Speaker 3: I got a few cards too, and uh I won't
Speaker 3: go over them all. There's a handful of cards and
Speaker 3: uh I got a Pete Rose card, which is one
Speaker 3: of my grandfathers and my uh favorite non Dodger players
Speaker 3: back in the day. But best of all, and Chuck
Speaker 3: must have had a little intuition or something. He sent
Speaker 3: me a Fernando Vevenezuela card, who who was an amazing
Speaker 3: Dodger pitcher.
Speaker 2: In the eighties. Remember, Yeah, And sadly this died.
Speaker 3: Last year or the year before, and so that one,
Speaker 3: and I that's a cool one.
Speaker 8: I knew that since you were a Dodger fand at
Speaker 8: that time, you had to like bal Aeuela. I mean
Speaker 8: that's why you go. Yeah, so you know, and everybody's
Speaker 8: little package was different. I tried to customize it, you know,
Speaker 8: based on what they liked and the stuff that they said.
Speaker 8: So you know, I asked everybody, and that was my
Speaker 8: way of saying thanks for you know, helping out.
Speaker 2: Uh so you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: No, I loved it. I loved getting that that whole
Speaker 3: little package. Man, it was great. It was it was
Speaker 3: a kick. And when I saw Fernando, I was like,
Speaker 3: oh man, how to check out to send that one?
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: So sadly he did. I think he had had a liver.
Speaker 3: I think he might have had a drinking issue and
Speaker 3: he ran his liver into the ground and he kind
Speaker 3: of died too young. Died last year or the year before,
Speaker 3: I forget which. Uh, but he was a broadcaster on
Speaker 3: the Spanish speaking channel run there until he couldn't do
Speaker 3: it anymore. And yeah, it was just really sad to.
Speaker 2: Hear that he passed. And it's just cool to have
Speaker 2: that card is also thanks man, there you go.
Speaker 3: Oh shoot, I had something else that was going to pass.
Speaker 3: Oh you guys talk about somebody when you're in Orange,
Speaker 3: you had some fruit growing over your fence. When I
Speaker 3: lived in Whittier, California as a child around nineteen seventy
Speaker 3: or so, we had a neighbor with a pomegranate tree
Speaker 3: and I could climb up on the wall and pick
Speaker 3: as many as I wanted. Man, it was just great.
Speaker 3: Then my grandmother made this delicious syrup out of it.
Speaker 1: Wow, pomegranate.
Speaker 8: Did you have a Did you have the experience to
Speaker 8: know that, you know, you were in the hometown of
Speaker 8: Richard Nixon when you lived in Whittier there.
Speaker 3: I had none of that knowledge at the time.
Speaker 1: No, it's your you're talking about your book.
Speaker 8: Yeah, No, no, I mean Whittier. He's from Whittier, I think.
Speaker 1: Is he from?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 3: Did I lived in Whittier, California for two or three
Speaker 3: years when I lived down you know, when I lived
Speaker 3: in California as a child. So yeah, yeah, yeah, pomegranates
Speaker 3: growing right up over the wall from the neighbors, and uh,
Speaker 3: you know, I could climb up on that wall and
Speaker 3: they call the pomegranates I wanted.
Speaker 2: Man, it was it was fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Now, I think if you look it up, you'll find
Speaker 8: Nixon was also from Whittier.
Speaker 1: Aaron, Oh he was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know that now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3: I just as a kid, I did your I come
Speaker 3: full circle because I used to care about politics and
Speaker 3: not care about politics, and I don't anymore now either,
Speaker 3: So back then I was oblivious to that of courl Yeah,
Speaker 3: I know he's he hails from Whittier.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Well, I guess he moved to your but
Speaker 1: he must have probably moved to your Belinda, because they've
Speaker 1: got his library and your Belinda. Now right, presidential libraries
Speaker 1: out there, and.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, just presidential libraries. There's something I don't know,
Speaker 3: there's just something silly about that. I've always thought they
Speaker 3: all have to have a library. Like there are all
Speaker 3: these all these scholarly learned men, you know, and everything,
Speaker 3: and they got to have a library.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's important.
Speaker 8: Well, you know, it was important to me to have
Speaker 8: the LBJ and the JFK Library to get stuff from
Speaker 8: so that I could see what was going on during
Speaker 8: both presidencies. But you know, honestly, oh you know, those
Speaker 8: libraries are pretty funny though, Like, if you've ever been
Speaker 8: to Reagan's, it's pretty hilarious because I mean, it's it's
Speaker 8: a lot of show business. I forget what town his
Speaker 8: is in in California, but he's he's got one out
Speaker 8: there here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's it's out here. I forget the exact town,
Speaker 1: but it's not far from the Nixon one, I know
Speaker 1: that much.
Speaker 3: You got to wonder what the Trump Library it.
Speaker 1: Will be, like, Yeah, they're already planning it. They're already
Speaker 1: planning it. Yeah, it's going to be grand.
Speaker 2: I'm sure.
Speaker 1: A lot of gold.
Speaker 3: It'll just yeah, it'll be the best one. I'm sure,
Speaker 3: the biggest and best of all of them.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it'll look just like the Trump Plaza did in
Speaker 8: Atlantic City until it goes bankrupt.
Speaker 1: The Presidential Library today, it will happen less.
Speaker 3: It will be tremendous. No matter what, it'll be tremendous.
Speaker 8: We know that today in the most tremendous fashion like
Speaker 8: no one has ever seen before, the Trump Library went bankrupt.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, that's too funny, looking forward to the future. Ye,
Speaker 1: there we go. All right, So Ed got a mailer too.
Speaker 1: That's exciting, really making a thing out of this and
Speaker 1: still me he.
Speaker 5: Got he's gotten some clutch, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Chuck Adamson, that's cool, that's cool. Oh yes, yeah, because Ed,
Speaker 1: you know by.
Speaker 3: Bill Russell Clark too, he was from that He was
Speaker 3: from that team's back then, Bill Russell. And I'm kind
Speaker 3: of jealous of your guys. Is moriy Will though man,
Speaker 3: because he was I remember him from the even when
Speaker 3: I was really littler, from the sixties, because my grandfather was.
Speaker 2: He loved and hated him.
Speaker 3: You know, he would make the dumbest plays sometimes, but
Speaker 3: he was also a great shortstop. Whenever he messed up.
Speaker 3: My grandfather would be cursing on the porch man.
Speaker 2: One of those and he's he's got a whole thing.
Speaker 3: Many when they did a thing and uh, they went
Speaker 3: they went to Japan or somewhere after one of the
Speaker 3: World Series, after they lost to the Oriels in fifty six.
Speaker 3: I read a whole you know, baseball book about this,
Speaker 3: and uh he uh stopped off in Hawaii and did
Speaker 3: some song and dance routine there and didn't show up
Speaker 3: for the thing, and he got in all kinds of
Speaker 3: trouble with the team. You're like an entertainer on the side,
Speaker 3: and he stopped off in Hawaii or somewhere like that,
Speaker 3: and you know, he was performing in a club. They're
Speaker 3: doing something.
Speaker 2: I forget what, right, Yeah, the character, it's one of
Speaker 2: those characters.
Speaker 8: And it's crazy to think that. You know, there was
Speaker 8: an era in baseball not so long ago where they
Speaker 8: couldn't survive on their season salaries. They actually had.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they worked some of them, Yeah, in the
Speaker 2: off season.
Speaker 8: In the off season. Some of these guys are house
Speaker 8: painters and all kinds of crap, and uh, you know,
Speaker 8: and because yeah, baseball couldn't pay the bills in the
Speaker 8: off season, so yeah, uh and uh yeah, especially when
Speaker 8: you start talking Brooklyn Dodgers. I mean, you know a
Speaker 8: lot of those guys definitely didn't.
Speaker 3: Those guys all had jobs, right, you know they.
Speaker 13: The first game, the first game of the Dodger game.
Speaker 13: You know, they had Brooklyn Dodgers caps. They were representing footy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have one of those. I alternate that with
Speaker 3: my LA cap when if I go to the ballpark
Speaker 3: or wherever.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: But yeah, Brooklyn dodg everybody, Oh man, that's cool hat
Speaker 3: out of Boston hat. You know, because they make the
Speaker 3: baseball hats and every color for every team. Now right,
Speaker 3: I have to shake my head. No, let me explain.
Speaker 3: So they get a lesson in baseball history when they
Speaker 3: say that.
Speaker 8: To me, right, No, I I love that stuff, you know,
Speaker 8: I like my my favorite you know. Common fact, of course,
Speaker 8: is that the New York Mets, their original blue and
Speaker 8: orange represents the two National League New York teams that
Speaker 8: left New York. Which is the orange and white it
Speaker 8: comes from the Giants, and Dodger blue is Mets blue.
Speaker 8: It's the same color.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, yeah, that's all true.
Speaker 5: True.
Speaker 8: Story cracks me up, of course. They they just got
Speaker 8: done break in a twelve game losing streak.
Speaker 1: Thanks, but yeah, I know that to wain eventually.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they're missing Soto though. When he gets back,
Speaker 3: that'll that'll that'll make a change.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but have their st half of their star players
Speaker 8: are injured because you know why, because they're the Mets.
Speaker 3: I know that happens. It's a terrible year when everybody
Speaker 3: gets injured. Yeah, I'm amazed that the Dodgers still have
Speaker 3: their starting rotation mostly intact for the last couple of years.
Speaker 3: They have this great starting rotation and before the All
Speaker 3: Star break they're all on the injured list. And fortunately
Speaker 3: they have some good guys they bring up, you know
Speaker 3: that you know, help, But yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, pitchers
Speaker 3: go down a lot with the Dodgers.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Kim got one of those trial you know things
Speaker 8: for a week, and so I was happy to watch
Speaker 8: a couple of Mets games. And uh the other night though,
Speaker 8: I got to watch the Dodgers right after the Mets,
Speaker 8: and uh yeah, and it was great because Otani was
Speaker 8: pitching and six.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's been pitching. Great.
Speaker 8: Yeah, six innings, shut out ball, no problem, you know.
Speaker 8: And then they put in the bullpen guys, and those
Speaker 8: guys blew it.
Speaker 3: And I was like, man, I remember that game. They
Speaker 3: wrecked that one. Yeah, he threw a good one last
Speaker 3: night too, But the bullpen didn't blow it. He you know,
Speaker 3: he he's kind of slumping at the bat, but he's
Speaker 3: he's been an ace on the hill Man.
Speaker 2: It's been just throwing.
Speaker 13: Bullet, just pitch, just be a pitcher. I mean, let's
Speaker 13: not Oh would do the guy? You know, they got
Speaker 13: mobile Mobile.
Speaker 3: They even had him sit out one game when he
Speaker 3: pitched instead of having you know, D H and two. Right,
Speaker 3: But he was back d H last night. But he's
Speaker 3: went over five too.
Speaker 5: Though they got Yo Gamoto.
Speaker 3: He's just threw six or seven shutout innings again last night.
Speaker 8: I believe Jorgiamoto no no no Otani did six or
Speaker 8: seven shutout innings the other night.
Speaker 3: Connie.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but yeah, Yamamoto. Yamamoto's doing great. Also. Uh you know,
Speaker 8: I think are the Dodgers in first place or not?
Speaker 3: The last I knew they were tied with the Padres,
Speaker 3: San Diego had caught them. They kind of had a
Speaker 3: couple of rough series where they didn't do so good.
Speaker 3: And I guess the Padres are raging right now. They're
Speaker 3: beating everybody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that happens, and they caught them.
Speaker 3: It's early still, you know, a lot of things will change.
Speaker 3: The Mariners are sucking right now. But I mean, hell,
Speaker 3: they they always start out that way and everybody gets
Speaker 3: so depressed up here. But they damn near were in
Speaker 3: the World Series one game away last year.
Speaker 2: By the end of it.
Speaker 3: So I don't know how they keep having a decent team.
Speaker 3: They just they won't spend much money on players, but
Speaker 3: they they still do something. They put pretty big team
Speaker 3: on the year, last on the field last couple of years.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, that's cool and all I.
Speaker 3: Was always rooting for a Mariner's dive World Series. Man, really,
Speaker 3: just one lousy game awaits from it last year. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it'd be cool for Mariners has never even been in
Speaker 3: the World Series. I feel bad for all my workmates
Speaker 3: and stuff that are lifelong Mariners fans, you know.
Speaker 1: So, Oh.
Speaker 8: No, I don't believe.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 8: See, that's the thing right now. We're looking at a
Speaker 8: typical Mets season too, ed because you know what, the
Speaker 8: Mets have the best winning percentage on opening day of
Speaker 8: any major league teams, so they almost always win opening
Speaker 8: to eight for some reason. Uh, But then they always
Speaker 8: go on a terrible tear at the beginning of the
Speaker 8: year where it's like they're gonna spend all the way
Speaker 8: to the All Star Break, digging themselves out of this hole.
Speaker 8: You watch if they dig out.
Speaker 3: Of the home, but they do it somehow. You know,
Speaker 3: it's amazing. Baseball is a long It's the long game, man,
Speaker 3: and teams that start out crappy sometimes going on a
Speaker 3: big rage after or the All Star Break or something
Speaker 3: and overtake whoever was ahead of them.
Speaker 1: You never know.
Speaker 8: Well, that's my only hope for these guys this year.
Speaker 8: But I mean, if they go through another one of
Speaker 8: those twelve game losing streaks, I mean, that's that's that.
Speaker 8: I mean, what else you.
Speaker 5: Oh, they just got they just I know who they played.
Speaker 13: The Mets played the Twins just the other day with yes,
Speaker 13: they won the last two and lost the one against
Speaker 13: them in series.
Speaker 8: Right, Well, that's the thing. One of those games is
Speaker 8: the last of the twelve game losing streak, and then
Speaker 8: they picked up two so far, I think, yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 8: I mean I've barely gotten to watch any this year.
Speaker 8: But but when I could, though, it was great, and
Speaker 8: I was just I was really actually more happy to
Speaker 8: watch uh Otani pitch because I mean he was throwing
Speaker 8: some wicked stuff that you know, yeah, when.
Speaker 3: He's on he's as good as Yamamoto when he's on it,
Speaker 3: you know, he's he's something else.
Speaker 8: Too, right, And they're getting some like almost physics denying
Speaker 8: drops on the ball.
Speaker 2: I mean, I oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the short time they got those three Japanese pitchers
Speaker 3: that they both have that what do they call it
Speaker 3: a split finger or whatever, and that other fellow Soseki
Speaker 3: he's not doing so hot, but he saved their butts
Speaker 3: in the Championship series when they turned him into their closer.
Speaker 3: And some of his pitches it's it's not a knuckleball,
Speaker 3: but it moves like a knuckleball, and sometimes it's just
Speaker 3: crazy when he's on. Yeah, he's not consistent tanen no,
Speaker 3: but if.
Speaker 8: He learns how to control a little better, that ninety
Speaker 8: nine mile per hour knuckleball, okay, because that's what it is.
Speaker 8: It's like a mile per hour knuckleball, which shouldn't be possible. Yeah,
Speaker 8: these knuckleball pitchers usually toss sixty seventy eighty miles an hour. Okay,
Speaker 8: that's what they do.
Speaker 2: So yeah, because yeah, yeah, it's not really you couldn't.
Speaker 3: You can't throw a knuckleball that that hard, But it's
Speaker 3: some kind of a split finger thing he does or
Speaker 3: whatever that he can both throw it really pretty hard,
Speaker 3: and it has some of that same weird it's going
Speaker 3: to go right or left. He doesn't even know which way.
Speaker 2: It's going to go.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but it wobbles like a knuckle ball. It wobbles
Speaker 8: like if you.
Speaker 2: Remember, yeah, who was it when you watch a slow motion, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was it.
Speaker 3: You see it's barely rotating, right, was it?
Speaker 1: Tim?
Speaker 8: Tim Wakefield I think was his name, that used to
Speaker 8: throw a wobbler like that. Yeah, But Wakefield couldn't break
Speaker 8: eighty five when he threw a knuckleball. It was a
Speaker 8: slow ball, so people could steal off, yeah, because it
Speaker 8: was so slow. But this guy throws something that wobbles
Speaker 8: almost like a knuckle ball, except it'll pop ninety nine.
Speaker 2: On the gun And that's just yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 3: I have that going. I don't you know if somebody
Speaker 3: could totally, uh you know, master the control of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean tough on every hitter because the only
Speaker 2: long time.
Speaker 8: Yeah, because the only way you could get that kind
Speaker 8: of effect is if you were cheating, if you were
Speaker 8: scuffing the ball, and they they've checked his ball. This
Speaker 8: kid ain't cheating. He's just somehow able to throw it
Speaker 8: looks like a ninety nine mile prior knuckleball. That's just insane.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's funny. Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So well, my grandfather used to always say, you know,
Speaker 3: uh about everything, Well, them Japs, they don't create much,
Speaker 3: but they sure do perfect everything they get in their hands.
Speaker 9: And that you were seeing it in baseball now, yeah,
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, the only pitch is okay, when
Speaker 9: I pitched the short time I tried to pitch, uh
Speaker 9: in uh, you know, in in little league and stuff.
Speaker 8: And also there's something before little league. Uh oh no,
Speaker 8: excuse me, you got you got your regular little league
Speaker 8: and then Babe Ruth League right as what we had
Speaker 8: in your uh. And I tried, I tried, and I
Speaker 8: pitched him both but me, I could only get a sinker,
Speaker 8: a crappy. My curve sucked. I could my curve just
Speaker 8: didn't curve half the time. And but my sinkers were
Speaker 8: pretty nasty. And I tried a fastball, but I couldn't
Speaker 8: really get good velocity even from my age group. And
Speaker 8: I tried, and I wasn't a small kid, it was,
Speaker 8: I was a fairly large kid. But what you got
Speaker 8: to do and who was it? One of the Twins
Speaker 8: pitchers has this really wicked like lower body movement, and
Speaker 8: some of these guys without steroids, it looks like are
Speaker 8: able to throw like one o three, one oh five
Speaker 8: on occasion, which is oh, it's impossible to see the
Speaker 8: ball at that speed, so.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, it is.
Speaker 3: It is for it would be for me, And I
Speaker 3: don't know if i'd have the guts to even stand
Speaker 3: in there in the box once that guy started, these
Speaker 3: guys start winding up, I'd be like running towards the
Speaker 3: dugout as hard as they throw.
Speaker 2: Man hit me.
Speaker 8: Yeah, A strange thing happened recently, and I want to
Speaker 8: tell you something and uncle, and I don't know if
Speaker 8: this will be interesting to either one of you, but
Speaker 8: do you remember a player named Willie McGee?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, see what the.
Speaker 5: McGee? It sense like.
Speaker 8: Willie McGee played with with a few teams, but he
Speaker 8: was also a Dodger at one point. Anyways, he uh,
Speaker 8: I got. I got to speak to him and he
Speaker 8: told me. He told me a story about Nolan Ryan
Speaker 8: and these guys not wanting to go up and face
Speaker 8: Nolan Ryan because somebody had you know, hit a grand
Speaker 8: slam off him, and they left him in the game,
Speaker 8: and uh, McGee's like, McGee's like, take he told I
Speaker 8: forget who he said was the manager. But whoever the
Speaker 8: manager was, he looked at him and said, take me
Speaker 8: out of the game. Why I don't want to go
Speaker 8: up there against no one. Why because he's going to
Speaker 8: put one in my back and I don't.
Speaker 3: Want somebody's going to pay for that grand slam.
Speaker 8: Somebody, somebody's paid for that grand exactly. And he said,
Speaker 8: he's going to put one in my back. I don't
Speaker 8: want to take it. And he kind of argued and
Speaker 8: he went up there and he said, he said, thank
Speaker 8: god that that he didn't put it in my back.
Speaker 8: He put it in the next batter's back.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, you know Don Drisdale, old Dodger pitcher from the sixties.
Speaker 3: His attitude was, you know, you hit one of my guys,
Speaker 3: I'll hit two. I'll hit two of yours, and we
Speaker 3: can do it. Is do it till you're tired. And
Speaker 3: the other thing, if the manager told him to walk it,
Speaker 3: you know, put an intentional walk, you know, because then
Speaker 3: they had back then they had to throw the pitches,
Speaker 3: not like they do now. He said, Hell, I don't
Speaker 3: need four pitches to put him on base one one.
Speaker 8: You know, I got a question, den Man, since you
Speaker 8: like the Mariners, I'm going to shut up after this,
Speaker 8: But since you like the Mariners that I got a question.
Speaker 8: Did anybody ever dare charge the mound when Randy Johnson
Speaker 8: was pitching?
Speaker 3: Because I, well, I don't know, because I only started
Speaker 3: going back in twenty twelve and he was, well, you know,
Speaker 3: already retired when I started, you know, kind of following
Speaker 3: them a little bit. I got to imagine somebody must
Speaker 3: have you know, you might think so if he could
Speaker 3: get pretty wild sometimes even if he wasn't intentionally hitting you,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but think about this. He was a ridiculous looking
Speaker 8: coming at you at what six' six with an Over.
Speaker 2: YEAH i was, LIKE i think he's taller than.
Speaker 3: THAT i was close to six eight or.
Speaker 2: Ten, Man, well maybe that could be, wrong but he.
Speaker 3: Was, yeah he was.
Speaker 8: Big, well look we'll split the. Difference we'll call him six, eight,
Speaker 8: okay an overhand pitcher throwing one hundred plus miles an
Speaker 8: hour sometimes at six foot. Eight, Yeah i'm not charging that.
Speaker 3: Guy, yeah he'll. No, well you better not Charge Nolan ryan.
Speaker 3: Either look what he did to that guy that did
Speaker 3: and that famous uh event where the guy ran at.
Speaker 3: Him he just put him in a headlock and started pounding.
Speaker 8: Him oh, no no longer to beat you. Up no
Speaker 8: one SAYS i Love Nolan. Ryan he you, know he
Speaker 8: doesn't even sign. It he's still. Alive he doesn't sign
Speaker 8: cards anymore unless you send it to his. Foundation, yeah
Speaker 8: you have to send it to his. Foundation he doesn't
Speaker 8: want nothing to do with.
Speaker 2: It you pay.
Speaker 8: Them the money all goes to charity and that's. That
Speaker 8: but it costs like two hundred bucks one hundred and
Speaker 8: fifty seventy five. Something oh to get him to Sign,
Speaker 8: yeah to sign, up like if you mail a. Card,
Speaker 8: yeah you could mail him a card and get him
Speaker 8: to Sign we'll sign. It but, yeah it'll cost you
Speaker 8: like one hundred and fifty or one hundred and seventy
Speaker 8: five something like. That and you, know but as soon
Speaker 8: as you get it, back that card's worth you, know
Speaker 8: five hundred. Bucks i'm just saying. Easily, Easily, yeah.
Speaker 3: Are really hardcore. Collectors know you guys should have your,
Speaker 3: cards you, know, evaluated because you, KNOW i don't know
Speaker 3: some people you, know the serious. Collectors you might have
Speaker 3: something that are.
Speaker 8: Worthwhile, well you got to be careful, though because you
Speaker 8: only want to put certain. Things. Well, Listen i've been
Speaker 8: studying this a lot lately Because i'm thinking about running
Speaker 8: a side business. Here and the thing, is if you
Speaker 8: want to go get them done really and get them
Speaker 8: sealed into a, Slab, okay that's great and, everything and
Speaker 8: you could seal anything into a, slab but you better
Speaker 8: be careful about it because you're going to. Spend even
Speaker 8: when you you're sending in and getting a deal on,
Speaker 8: it it's going to cost you like fifteen dollars a,
Speaker 8: card and you've got to do, like you, know five
Speaker 8: or ten at a. Time so you're talking about one
Speaker 8: hundred and fifty seventy five dollars to one hundred and
Speaker 8: fifty dollars investment to get your cards. Graded, wow, okay
Speaker 8: well what if what.
Speaker 3: If you have a little shop a place like you, know,
Speaker 3: Local you could just walk in there and, say, hey
Speaker 3: can you you, know.
Speaker 8: Well, yeah but the Out, no that's, great that's an evaluation,
Speaker 8: though if you actually want to get them, graded actually,
Speaker 8: graded you get him you, know preserved and graded and
Speaker 8: you know PS A Professional Spots authority is your best
Speaker 8: place to.
Speaker 11: Go.
Speaker 8: Uh they're the most you know record. Okay but Also
Speaker 8: beckett still does. Them uh you, know they do, grading
Speaker 8: and there's a couple of other companies that. Do BUT
Speaker 8: psa is the you, know is the gold. Standard and
Speaker 8: yeah that's.
Speaker 3: For serious collectors there to do.
Speaker 8: That, yeah but either, way but but that's how you do. It,
Speaker 8: listen you get a, again The Nolan Ryan rookie cart,
Speaker 8: right there was a reprint of, it and this guy got,
Speaker 8: him you, know got, him and he was going to
Speaker 8: sell him loose three hundred dollars because he had him,
Speaker 8: signed and you put him in a slab five, grand,
Speaker 8: okay just saying it's a big that's a good that's
Speaker 8: a good upgrade for fifteen. Dollars. Okay i'm just saying
Speaker 8: you everything.
Speaker 3: You do anything that you, know it's so expensive nowadays
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter what it. IS i guess like the
Speaker 3: two recently took up one, second back up smoking my,
Speaker 3: pipes tobacco, pipes AND i ordered a pipe From italy
Speaker 3: same price as it came out, right you, know as
Speaker 3: it would have cost if anybody had had the same.
Speaker 3: Pipe you, know SEVEN. La you probably heard of, them
Speaker 3: AND i got the. Pipe it went through. SMOOTH i
Speaker 3: didn't know if they sold, direct and THEN i get
Speaker 3: a thing FROM. UPS i got to Pay Lord trump
Speaker 3: forty something bucks terraff to get the damn thing on
Speaker 3: top of WHAT i.
Speaker 2: Paid.
Speaker 8: Man, yeah see Those otani cards THAT i sent, you,
Speaker 8: guys if you got those graded, right the two of
Speaker 8: them at a bare, minimum would be five hundred dollars
Speaker 8: if you got. Them you know that in a. Slab, yeah,
Speaker 8: NO i already see what they're going. For they will
Speaker 8: go for about two hundred and fifty dollars, apiece those
Speaker 8: two CARDS i sent, you if they're slabbed and they
Speaker 8: come up with either a nine point five or ten.
Speaker 5: Rating so and if they're, signed probably.
Speaker 8: More no oh, yeah signed would be even. More but
Speaker 8: you'd have to have it. Authenticated that's another. Thing but
Speaker 8: just saying just slab them like, that, Boom, yeah two
Speaker 8: hundred and fifty bucks apiece is what that would cost
Speaker 8: in a. Slab, now they probably sell for twenty bucks
Speaker 8: at most loose like. That you see WHAT i? Mean,
Speaker 8: YEAH i, say but nobody else at the, time and
Speaker 8: we're actually over, Time.
Speaker 3: So, NO I i just want to let uncle, no
Speaker 3: even if he doesn't have an expensive seat down on
Speaker 3: the field, LEVEL i, know before the game, starts at
Speaker 3: least at The Mariners. BALLPARK i don't know if The
Speaker 3: dodgers have different, security but you can go down into
Speaker 3: the field level and go up to the field that
Speaker 3: you got to be able to pass crap through that
Speaker 3: stupid net they have everywhere, now but you might be able,
Speaker 3: to you, know before they get get there, early go
Speaker 3: down to the field level and go, down you, know
Speaker 3: right to the to the field and get an autograph
Speaker 3: if you get a chance to go over, there see
Speaker 3: see if they let you go down before the, game
Speaker 3: because they they should do that BECAUSE i, mean you
Speaker 3: know a lot of people like to go down and
Speaker 3: get autographs and.
Speaker 2: Stuff, yeah that's WHAT i was doing for the.
Speaker 8: Game, yeah that's WHAT i was talking about. Before when
Speaker 8: they're in batting practice and the pictures are like loosening
Speaker 8: up on the, Side.
Speaker 3: Yeah they woundering around.
Speaker 2: Stuff, yeah that's WHAT i was talking.
Speaker 3: About i've seen them a lot of.
Speaker 2: Times, yeah do. That, yeah so you know the other
Speaker 2: guys be able to.
Speaker 3: Do that even if you're sitting up on the third
Speaker 3: deck you before the game. Starts you could probably go down, there,
Speaker 3: uncle possibly and get a chance to get an.
Speaker 8: Autograph, YEAH i believe it or. NOT i told him
Speaker 8: this earlier because the chatter, said you, know you got
Speaker 8: to go like eight hours in, advance and they have
Speaker 8: to check in with the, stadium which is, true but
Speaker 8: that's a hit or, miss and you've got to figure
Speaker 8: out where they're checking, in which entrance are. Using oh,
Speaker 8: yeah the players parking lot is and that's ABOUT.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't even know how to do. That, yeah you'd
Speaker 3: have to go away early because they get there. Early
Speaker 3: it's like a you, know work out and go to
Speaker 3: the training, room all the stuff they. Do but once
Speaker 3: you get in the, ballpark just just try going down
Speaker 3: before the game starts and see if you they let
Speaker 3: you go down to the you, know to the edge
Speaker 3: of the. Field and BECAUSE i GOTTA i got a
Speaker 3: feeling they might still let people do that.
