as always. We may not always be aware of that, but it's been this way for well as long as I can remember, it's been this way. Things keep changing rapidly. It's all due to all of these amazing breakthroughs happening everywhere, and technology is just kind of running away from us faster all the time. Can't keep up, don't try to, you won't be able to. But it's crazy. Lots of changes, lots of changes we've seen in a very short amount of time, and I think just the rapid speed

of change is really what's frustrating so many people. And it's hard not to be frustrated. Everybody is at some point in time, and more often than not, maybe you know, we're all we all have been as of late. It's been tough times up there. So I hope you're doing as well as you can. And you know, take heart, we're going to be We're gonna make it one way or the other. So let's just do what we can here. And I don't know, I don't really have anything planned

for this show. However, I do have a article that gets into a topic that I've been covering for quite some time now, and little bits and pieces, this overall story keeps developing, and it's it's one of those like obvious stories that anybody who's paying attention can see that's occurring. It's it's a pretty fascinating see change shift in the way business is done. It's it's massively important for our country, America, for the and for the world really.

But yeah, it's just one of those things that I don't think it somehow goes off the radar, and maybe that's due to some fancy technology that was

designed to be not seen on radar. That would be apropos because we're talking about the military industrial complex, the Defense Department's defense budget budget, specifically how they use it to fund all sorts of emerging and advanced technologies for warfare obviously, but all sorts of technologies across the board that you wouldn't necessarily think are military they end up coming out of this. I mean, this is the history of this world, the development of technologies. So it's a long story.

But the modern interesting thing happening these days that I think doesn't get enough airtime is this sort of war between these different like these two factions that are vying for all of the funds, right, these public funds, the defense budget that they can get defense budget backing for their technological products. And the two factions are really the old guard mega corporations that came out of the aerospace

industry. So really the aerospace companies you know, all the which are also major defense contractors Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop, Grumming, Lockheed Martin, all those guys, those major companies are the old guard companies that are that are very much at war with the new kid on the block, which is generally

speaking, Silicon Valley and the tech industry, the consumer tech industry. So those are the two groups that are really I don't know even the full extent of this, but I am sure that they are at odds with one another and there is an antagonistic thing going on. There's definitely rivalry. I think would be putting it lightly. So there's definitely a change. And you see all these papers being written by the new kid contingency, the Eric Schmidt.

It just I mean, really, Eric Schmidt is big lynchpin in this. We've talked about him many times over on this show. But if you look at what he like, the posts he's been given, the military posts and national security posts he's been given in the past couple of years. And you just read everything that he says and all the major bullet points he puts out.

Those not only are those like big talking points that are working their way in and kind of seeping in from the mainstream political dialogue, like things you will actually hear in like a presidential debate and things like this. It's not only that, but these are the things that are being used to reshape defense spending and the military industrial complex as we know it. You know, the big narrative of what I would say, the major one is just like great

power, what they call it the Great power. Uh, it's basically the tension new Cold war between China and the US primarily, but also other nations are involved, Russia certainly, around all these countries that are adversarial to US, but primarily the technological race, the technological war between China and the US, and certainly when it comes to the development of artificial intelligence and any cursory look at the news of the past year. I think anybody has a general

sense of that now. So I think it's interesting that we all can see what the mainstream talking points have been in that world, right, we all have seen it. But it's something that's an ever developing story and something that we need to look at, and something that on this show I've been talking about for quite some time I will continue to talk about. I'm going to try to see if I can get some guests that can really speak to this well this coming year. That's I guess. If anything, a resolution for

the show is get guests that can speak to that. So we'll see what we can do there. If anybody has any suggestions on guests in that vein, feel free to send them to me. Friends at the Age of Transitions dot Com about to speak to anybody who can talk about this topic. But yeah, back to the main point here is this sort of butting of heads between the old guard the new guard of the guys in the military industrial complex.

You've got the old companies and you've got Silicon Valley that I guess let's call it aerospace versus big tech, right, you can put it that way. There's a very good article here and I got the link to this through jpce Atilly's news Vandal Rundown. This is where I that's really where I read. Any news article that I end up reading is from his list that he puts out there. His mailing list is news Vandal Rundown. So this is a standout article for me that I'm going to read parts of it now because

it definitely is. It's a great article that gets into an overview of this topic and where we're at now. This piece was written on January fifteenth, twenty twenty four. It is from Responsible Statecraft Responsible statecraft dot org. The author is Seanna Marshall. Title, how VC is busting the military industrial complex for its own benefit. Didn't think there could be anything worse than the existing defense bureaucracy. This next is a real killer. So I'll just start reading

from this. It's a bit ver bosa, I'd like to I'll read it anyway. We got time. Ties between big finance and the weapons industry are not new. The first venture capital firm in the US was founded to profit from new technologies developed for use in World War Two, and the role of military spending and turning Silicon Valley into a tech hub is well documented. I

could give lots of commentary on that, but I'll just continue. But today's biggest VC titans are making transformative investments in military technology that pose serious consequences far

beyond another hype driven tech bubble. Weaponizing their financial assets to expand the production of war material will not only divert technological resources away from other critical domestic priorities, but also so forge novel devices of warfare that will generate demand for battleground testing battlefield testing grounds both at home and abroad, new exciting ways to make money right for those that are again fighting for these government contracts. Anyway back

to it. But before the defense tech evangelists can resurrect the age of American global supremacy, they must transform the way the Pentagon does business. This involves seducing Pentagon planners with exotic promises arranging from atriatable autonomous systems or swarm technology to subscription models for weapons systems. God not because these fit some strategic framework,

but because they align with the VC business model. Imagine that venture capital and private equity is about making limited investments in mobile assets technologies engineers to get a startup to the IPO stage or trim the fat from an existing operator and cash

out. This is at odds with a military industrial complex. That boasts millions of employees and a handful of oligopalistic firms with billions of dollars of permanent infrastructure, huge upfront costs, long time horizons, and extremely complex procurement processes. Okay, I'm going to jump in on that. Yeah, so the old way of doing business when it comes to the MIIC has definitely become a vested special interest group. I mean, it's obvious that these aerospace companies have built

up an industry that only they can occupy. This was done over a period of decades, really, yeah, World War two to now, this has been built up, this whole system of doing business. And yes, they have definitely done everything that they can to build up the business model so that they are the only players in town. Right, I mean it's they call it here, all agappalistic firms. Yes, I mean it's it's I suppose it's not an actual monopoly because what there's like five giant companies and then there's

all their little subcontractor companies. It's like there's there's plenty of companies in the space, but nobody's making their way in there. All the little companies again

are just like subcontractors for the big ones. Essentially, so many decades of building up that business model now being threatened to be shaken up because of again all of these the things that Eric Schmidt writes about in his white papers for the nsc AI and whatnot, saying, oh, yeah, if we don't hurry up and speed up the defense procurement process, China's can get one up on us, and they're gonna tomorrow they'll have this crazy AI technology that we

won't be able to keep up with. And in the name of preventing that, we have to speed up the way that the defense industry does business. And yes, of course that's going to take on the aspects of doing business in Silicon Valley. And that's exactly what this article is talking about. The venture capital and private equity firms, these giant investment firms that are behind these are these are the profiteers of big keech. These are the ones that make

all the big money. There is the guys that aren't big investors, right and so and so, Yeah, this could turn into something very lucrative.

It's definitely been lucrative for the aerospace industry for all these years, but again it was their way of doing business is lucrative on their terms, that very much is being threatened now by this whole new shift in things brought on by I mean technology is at the forefront of this and the speed this, uh, the speed at which technological progress is just taking off, the singularity sort of scenario of Ray kurtzwel right, the bell curve is starting to shoot up

and so to and so here we are. So you've got this interesting aspect of things popping up. Let's see here where am I at on this agreement? Keep reading this? Okay, oh yeah, this is a good paragraph right here. So we're picking up article from Responsible Staycraft. The fingerprints of VC priorities are everywhere, from the Pentagon's offices, Pentagon's Office of Strategic Capital and the Small Business Investment Company SBIC initiative to the Defense Innovation Board. That's

a big one. They got so many of these things. But anyway, I'll go on a collection of Silicon Valley scions elevated to a permanent department under the Secretary of Defense. That's the DIP. Typically, the Pentagon acquires technologies or equipment through private contracts with a company or by supplying grants to provide funds for research and development. The new Office of Strategic Capital, established in December twenty twenty two, lets the Pentagon behave less like a public agency and more

like a VC investor. It was in this new spirit that Silicon Valley investors in March twenty twenty three lobbied the Pentagon to bail out Silicon Valley Bank, where many of them had hundreds of millions deposited, by claiming that they would

be damaged thereby losing the Pentagon critical capabilities if they weren't rescued. Deploying the argument that a run on SVB would be a national security risk, the Pentagon and its supporters advocated for federal government intervention, according to the intercept, and the Treasury Department ultimately interceded to bail out SVB on March twelve, protecting investors. Did you know that little tidbit about that whole Silicon Valley Bank bailout?

You know that the military aspect of this and the fact that the big Silicon Valley investors involved in that got the US government to bail them out by making the claim that was a national security risk if it wasn't done like that, that's pretty interesting. The vision of Eric Schmidt is starting to come into view

here. That's pretty fascinating. Anyway, the financial services sector is likewise providing innovative products to facilitate the expansion of VC backed defense tech in Pentagon contracting. One example is Leonid Bank, which is an invoice factoring company that basically lends to the events tech startups based on the DoD invoices that those startups have for future projects to provide them with more money over and above the contract value,

which is not something that has ever existed for Pentagon contracts. Okay, let me see. Now we're getting kind of into the details here. Let me see. I don't honestly, I don't know if I need to read much more. I'm going to scroll down see if there's anything really interesting. Venture capitalists. Venture capitalists are eagerly supplying geostrategic justifications and policy blueprints to the Pentagon on how to shape reshape it's contracting ecosystem to facilitate this shift. Yet I

mean, they keep saying the same thing. They just got to speed up the contract process, which is quite fascinating because, as we were speaking to earlier, the aerospace industry definitely helped set things up where the contracting process itself was long drawn out, involved, and there was a host of reasons for doing that. This is just a way to keep things rolling along and keep like, you know, keep generating money over a long span of time.

But also it made it so difficult that nobody else could get in there. So now there's this shakeup, right, is that going to is the old way of doing business going to continue? I mean this brings up a lot of interesting questions ideas. Yeah, it's just it's crazy to look at.

Definitely. I mean, if there were some sort of crazy, some sort of like cyber security issue that popped up, and I've said this on the show before, like it seems like a foregone conclusion that at some point there will be like cyber versions of if not nine to eleven scale, certainly smaller scale incidents where cyber security is blown up and seen as a bigger issue because it will be a real, true issue that it hasn't been in the past.

And in the wake of those sorts of things, Definitely, I can see a lot of traction being made in this realm of the military industrial complex. Like Okay, well these guys were right, we do have to really start moving. We need to, you know, in the realm of cybersecurity, start funding all of these solutions coming from these small from anywhere, coming from anywhere, small company, big company, whatever. We need to get this thing up and running immediately. We can't wait five years for this thing

to come into existence. We need a solution now. So I think it will be pretty What I'll say is that we need to keep our eyes open moving forward as the story develops. It certainly will, I don't know how exactly it will. I can take a few guesses at generally what could happen, what might happen, things like that, and yeah, that's what we're speaking to here. Exactly what will happen, we don't know, but pretty

fascinating to see this, And yes, this is a story. We will keep our eyes on as the year goes on and even forward, because it's

wild, it's very important, huge money. This defense budget itself has always been a massively important thing to understand and one of those things that I definitely do believe has been swept under the rug when it comes to media coverage and has not been given its due because if it had, I think there would be well, one would hope there would be a lot more resistance to it and a lot more political action going on to say enough is enough, Like

what are we doing spending these ridiculous amounts of money on defense ostensibly? Is that really what it is? Or are we defending ourselves? This gets into questions of you know, the use of the US military foreign policy, but it also gets into like sloppy business practices. And yes, people can make that old tired argument that hey, look these bureaucracies, all they do is they're just built to waste time, energy, money, And it's a fascinating

thing with the mic, because yes, that is very true. But you've got the private side of there's a public and a private side to this, right, there's both things going on here. Yes, it's a bunch of government money, it's a bunch of public funds. Where are they going there and going into the hands of private corporations which are in turn making massive profits,

massive profits off of public funds. So it's a public private partnership, right to me, that's the most interesting thing to if we're talking about politics, let's not talk about the government, right, Let's not talk about how evil the government is. Let's not talk about corporations, how terrible they are. Oh, capitalism, we got to overthrow it, you know, wave the red flag. There's a revolution tomorrow. We're going to fix everything.

No, it's both of those views are stupid because it's about the public private ammal gam. That is the world we live in. Finance is interesting, I mean if you really get to like, what the hell is this money? First of all, where's it coming from? Who has the authority to make it? That's interesting. But it's out there and it's being shuffled all around. We're living for it. And yes, there's there. There are

powerful entities in government. They're powerful entities, corporate entities that are all part of this process of moving currency around and in so doing doing very real world projects. And yes, a lot of them are quite wasteful in more ways than one, waste of money because a lot of times the contracts are just built up to just keep money coming in just for its own sake, right, I mean, look no further than the now infamous F thirty five.

It's just a thing that was designed. It's it's like planned obsolescence. It's it's it's like a perfect example of that. But aerospace, right, and this supposedly high crown jewel is what it should be. The F thirty five is supposed to be this crowning achievement of technology, American military supremacy and might strength, right or we love being strong? Okay, how strong America is? Look at this giant metal aircraft equipped with the deadliest weaponry in the world

that can be at the in a heartbeat. It can just be dispatched to anywhere in the world and it can blow up a city, or it can just you know, who do you wanna Who do you want to bomb? Who do you want to what do you want to blow up? We've got the F thirty five. We can do it, aren't we great? But it's not even that. It seemed as like this piece of junk that just

like constantly breaks down. You can barely stay in the air it's got It's interesting because you know, the the aerospace companies have developed their own little tricks on keeping money coming in, right, and so that F thirty five exemplifies that. Now, do we think if Eric Schmidt wants to get up there at his podium and act like Silicon Valley and the tech sector won't do the exact same thing but probably ten times worse. You got to be kidding me.

This article made a it's mentioned something about subscription models and using that for you know, some sort of military technology now, And that's a laughable example of everything's the subscription model now because why because it makes more money for the company putting a product out as a subscription instead of you just pay once for this thing and you have it, you own it. So it's like you keep paying in, you keep paying in, and so yes, the aerospace

money. The aerospace industry became adept at creating similar models for use, specifically in their transactions with the United States government, the military, the Department of Defense. They build up all kinds of elaborate systems of those, but those are now under threat by these new guys coming in that have figured out all sorts of scams to run on the American public, mainly and ways to get

more and more money out of nothing. Although the tech industry is very interesting and venture capital and all these sorts of things, they don't when you look at it. Actually a lot of these companies don't even like turn profits, and they don't really technically make money, but they bring money in for their investors. And that's a fascinating story right there. But I guess that's all that really matters. It doesn't matter that you're putting out a good product,

it doesn't matter that you're even making a profit. As long as the investors, the venture capitalists themselves brought in money for themselves, then fine, right. And so I mean, all this is is just what do we even label this? It's just like everyday corruption, but it's at a large scale. It's at obviously large public scale that affects everybody. This is about the public interest. It's about the public being lied to. It's about obfuscation of

the truth of the situation. It's about propaganda because we're talking about the American foreign policy and God blessed the military and things like that, so they can cloak all of their self interests in that it isn't that nice, which also had ought to be there ought to be more energy spent, and people just haranguing those that use that, that exploit patriotism and just all of those I can't think of the word right now, but basically propagandizing the public to believe

to look one way while all the while they're sitting there cashing there constantly coming in checks. The checks are coming in like every five minutes. It's not a check for like two hundred dollars to check for two hundred thousand dollars. It's coming in constantly, all day, every day, twenty four hours, twenty four to seven. It's about money, you know. Don't worry. At this point, I won't. I won't wave the red flag like I

was talking about before. I'm not here to advocate for some communist solution to the capitalist oligarchy or whatever. I'm not going to do that. But you know, I, I don't know. It's just crazy to see how this stuff keeps going on, and the shifting is fascinating, it really is. I'm fascinated to see like these quarrels between the old and new guard of these guys trying to get the defence budget into their trying to cash in on that.

So it's interesting and we'll keep following that. But in many ways, it's the same old thing. It's just shifting around, reorganizing, different players, moving in and out, you know whatever. We're still constantly under threat from something, right, so be scared. We're all in tro China is evil, Russia's evil or Roun's evil? Who else is evil? There's a lot of evil people out there, a lot of evil out there, so we gotta keep making weapons to stop the evil doers. The weapons are great.

They even when they fall apart, it's, uh, well, we'll just fix them. We'll fix them. It'll be fine. F thirty five. Isn't that bad? It could be could be worse, right, Yeah, I don't know, man, there's there's so much going on. Now. Well, Aaron, let me let me ask you something, because you go through this and and look, we don't have any callers, so figured it. I'll jump in for a minute. But I got to ask your

opinion about this. How can you blame the mi C for creating You know, at some point they have to get the subscription models right because every other industry that is a major concern. What do they base their whole existence on repeat customers? Now? I get the idea that if you give somebody a bomb, they can only use it once. And okay, they got to buy more bombs, But why not do the thing that everybody's doing right,

every single thing. It seems like you have to have some level of repeat payment in order to maintain it. It doesn't matter if it's your Amazon Prime or if it's a piece of software that you know, you you depend on to do something, whether it's artistic or you know what I'm saying. Like you can't get the whole package anymore and you're done. Like you used to be able to just buy the package and you're finished. But now you got

to maintain. So why is it that you wouldn't have the maintenance part of the equation in business? It seems to work everywhere else, whether it's the medical industry obviously, give somebody, don't don't ever treat the illness, mind, you just give somebody a drug that'll keep masking the symptoms, and they're gonna want those symptoms to maintain being masked, so you got to keep giving

it to them, right, I mean, why not? It is the model, whether it's on a street level, or it's on the larger corporate level, or it's entertainment or anything else. Just like when these streaming services they put out, you know, a good product, right, and they put out a good show, and they lose money on it because they spend millions of dollars do the best top of the line. I mean, I think there's and something like twenty five million dollars an episode for brand new star

treks right on a paramount. But here's the thing. They don't have to maintain a good product. They just have to get you hooked in so that you won't cancel your subscription. They're not interested in necessarily serving the fans as something or creating something in and of itself that is unique or stand alone. But if you get hooked in, will you stay? That's the big part of the model, right, Like Netflix lost money for years and years.

They made no money. Their stock price didn't drop somehow because they were so prevalent, but they were losing money every single year. And now that they've stagnated a little bit, I'm sure the bounce back is there. The stockholders are getting taken care of. It is what it is. But it was all about holding up subscribers and that becomes a constant revenue stream. So why wouldn't you do it with bombs and bullets and planes same time? Right?

Yeah? Yeah, I mean that's the idea there, and certainly these VC guys will do that. That's part of their model. So yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just saying like it's it's almost like the of course they're going to like why wouldn't you use AI for this or that? Or the third of course they will, you know. I was remarking to somebody the other day that I was kind of surprised, I don't know how it is in California, because I was looking at some California news and you've got some

wacky stuff going on there. By the way, your cicada population is about to go up in southern California, by the way, it's they apparently there have been some cicadas underground feeding for ten years about ready to oh yeah those okay, yeah, the ones that only come out everything. I remember them in Pennsylvania, like there was this one specific kind of cicada that came out only like every seventeen years or something. Then yeah, when they come out,

there's a ton ton of them. I remember. They were a regular cicada's like green. It has like green eyes, sort of like green coloration. Yep. These ones had like red eyes and they had like red coloration. They were everywhere out in the woods. I went to a state park and they're man, it was noisy. They're making a racket or dead ones all over the place, So I guess I could relive my childhood out here. I'll be exciting. Yeah, California is about to get hit with him.

But I mean I was just watching some of the wacky news out there and and uh, you know again it's so strange, but like, uh, oh man, I forgot where I was going with this. But the cicadas are funny because I was just like, wow, look at this, and there was people on the news going, I think I'm going to run to San Francisco because that's the only way to escape these screepy cicadas. And I'm like, are you worried about the cicadas? But I guess that's crazy

what goes on out there. Uh. But I mean seriously, like if everything is on a subscriber model, I mean, it just makes perfect sense. And when you take a look at especially what's what's about to happen out there regarding you know, a bunch of these other things. They're going to create subscriptions for everything. You know, it's much like the the the the apps are going to be part of everything. Like you're going to have to

participate in certain technologies. If you're going to participate in certain businesses. And that's just the way it is, you know, so it makes perfect sense. It's just a natural evolution. Oh I know where I was going, Like in California, did you guys retain any of those kiosks, the McDonald's kiosks, because they were about ready to fully automate, like you know,

you know, the whole argument over fast. Oh yeah, yeah, the the minimum wage is going up and now hamburgers are cost forty five dollars apiece, and now of course there's going to be automated restaurants. Is that what we're getting into. Yeah, I was about to go there, because you know, we got the experimental kiosks here for McDonald's of all things, in Georgia. And I was just remarking the other day to somebody. I was like, you notice that failed. Nobody seemed to hook up with it here

in the South. I mean, we got terrible McDonald's. I was even telling the guys that if you want to, you know, you want your order screwed up, go to that one, you know, And the guy's like, yeah, yeah, I know. But I'm like, but but here's the funny part. We had the automated kiosks where you could punch in your own stuff everything, You could decide what to put on the burger, what not to put on it, and it would just show up at the

counter. We had all of that there. Now they did it mainly with the I don't know if you remember the higher end burgers that McDonald's tried to do. For a minute, Uh, what year are we talking. It's only maybe five six years ago. It seems vaguely familiar. I don't exactly remember it. Yeah, they served your french fries literally if you ate in you know, in the in the restaurant you were going to eat in store, they served your french fries in a metal bowl that looks like a fry

basket. That obviously you know they want it back. You know, you couldn't keep it, but you know, like you're instead of it being in a cardboard thing, it was in a fry basket, and your burger was higher in you actually had an artisan type bun, and it was higher quality beef and all this stuff. But they exclusively ran them through these kiosks where you punched in everything, you chose the type of lettuce you wanted, and

oh yeah, yeah, no, we have those at the restaurants. But what it is is, yeah, you walk up to it and you type in your order and then it you know, you could if you want to go to cashier into it, but they also have those, and then if you do that, you pay there with your card and then the food will come out and it's sort of just like anything else you order inside it. That's what you mean, Just that like giant iPad thing they have in there. Yeah. Now see those are gone from here, really not work.

Oh no, no, we have the those are in I want to say, if they're not in every McDonald's, they're most of them here. So yeah, that's the weird thing is that now you go into a McDonald's in California and that still remains, although they didn't fully automate the restaurant, right,

no, no, no, no, okay. So I traveled from Georgia to Texas, you know, in November, as you well know, and along the way, B Pete and I, you know, I gotta be honest, we stopped all be Pete really appreciates and eats his fast food, so we stopped and ate fast food along the way, and and you know, as much as we could while we were there. Because it was the cheaper option, obviously, and they taxed you heavily in Dallas especially,

you know, tourists and stuff. But the restaurants are extremely expensive. It's very hard to eat. So, believe me, eating a fast food burger on the way was a lot more of a sensible thing to do or even when we got there. So here's the thing. I probably ask food in like Louisiana, and I want to say Alabama maybe could be, I don't know, Arkansas, and in Texas. Okay, none of this crap is there. There is none of that big kiosk. There's none of that big

like you said, the giant iPad. Nothing is automated. They have all gone back to the walk up to the counter, talk to the kid. He punches it into the machine and then he hands you aback. Okay, got it. So California does things a little different. I'm just pointing out, I guess so yeah, yeah, But I want to say, it must be like that in like New York and whatnot, right I'm thinking it is. I got to ask people do they still have that. I have

not asked somebody in New York recently do they still have them there? But I know that the test but the test markets were weird for that because they didn't put it all over the country and it remains in California. Now, that was supposed to be a step toward automation though, because eventually they would take not just the high end burgers, but why not put everything on it?

Right then? Yeah? Yeah, everything is on it now. Yeah, okay, Well you can do that same thing with if you want to do that with a big Mac. You can take off all the ingredients fun by one. You can do that, or you can build up your burger from scratch, and it's not it's not an artisanal burger. It's just the regular junk they have. Okay, you can do that with everything. Yeah, you can put extra salt on it, you can put mustard on it,

you can eat all that stuff. Okay, So they did automate partially in California and they kept it. But I'm telling you all those states that I just mentioned, from from Georgia to Texas, no sign of that crap, none of it. It's not there. So what I'm saying is that it's just it's you know, even though things are nationally and they're supposed to be, you know, a cookie cutter thing. They are sort of skewed toward regional concerns. Now, when you're talking about the military industrial complex and

you're talking about these other larger industries. Uh, even though they might be skewed toward automation, they might be skewed towards certain things. The experience runs a little different. So uh, let's see we have them in the macOS here. Oh okay, well yeah, all right, I get it. And uh, the Ford freaking the chat room is saying that they have those in Australia. The keya there you go see. Okay, so it's it's

uh international chuck, there you go, there you go see. But this is what I don't know because here I sit and then that crap was pulled. It's god. They nobody wanted any part of it here. And again it was a step that was supposed to be Even McDonald said, eventually we can make it so that you know, one guy runs the McDonald's right. Sugar Bear wasn't having it. He complained, you've been nearly put his fists

through the chios. Sugar Bear, she didn't like it. Okay, cool enough, no, and all the other honey boobos here in the southeast. A right, I'm gonna shot up now before I get myself, but I'm not mistaken. Sugar Bear and Honey Booboo or your neighbors, Chuck, I don't know, but I think they're near you. For what that's worth, which isn't a whole lot. There's a lot of weird people near me. Remember the same state. Marjorie Taylor Green lives in, right, you know.

And look, I'm not even talking about her politics. I saw a picture of her on the beach. What the hell happened to her feet? Jesus Christ. I never like I've seen, you know, women with weird twisted up toes from wearing you know, pointed high heels for most of their lives or whatever. But what the hell she looks like? It's like a lobster. Have you ever seen that? I know, I know, I don't know what her feet looks like, and I'm happy to say that's the

case. It was the weirdest. There was this picture of her on a beach, right, and somebody sent it to me and was like, can you believe this? And I was like, what, it's the idiots standing on a beach? What do I care? And and somebody said, no, look at her feet, and I was like, okay, So I look back at the picture. I'm like, holy crap, they don't look human. It's really bizarre. Maybe did she did she like injure her foot

at some point of everybody strange. Nobody's ever explained this. It's just really weird looking. Like I said, some women, you know, like they they've had those weird shape, pointed high eels or whatever, and they developed strange callouses and their toes get twisted up after years and years of wear and stuff or whatever. But she, I swear I couldn't even count the number of toes on the one foot, Like it was so weird looking. And I don't mean to obsess that. I'm just why, how the hell did

I get on this? Oh? Because she's in George. All I know is that the world is a better place when MTG meant magic to gathering, right. Indeed, because she is. She is absolutely white trash Barbie. So all right, all right, I'm done, but go ahead. Oh, by the way, you have a caller. Oh okay, that's good. This is it's perfect timing. Actually, I'm sure the car will bring a lot to the table. So we'll go directly to them. Caller, you're on the Age of Transitions live. What's their name and where are you

calling from? This is Jimmy James calling from the frozen, far far far up north. And I have a mccomment. I have a mccomment. The other day. I was reading in an article and oh no, they haven't given up on the machines. You don't get it. They're trying to get them so that they're fully automated as and they'll prepare the food and everything. I have heard this, Jimmy, and I believe it. I could, I could see it happening. So what else on this front, Jimmy,

what's going on? Well, that's it. I just had that one mccomment. Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, they keep talking about that. I mean honestly, I could see. I'm surprised there. And what I think the next step is likely to be is they will keep the kios. I don't know if they're going to make their way back to Georgia or not, but they're definitely here in southern California or they're elsewhere. I would think they stay with that model. And also, you know, the the it

the apps on your phone, same thing. And what they do is to cut the costs of the staff. They'll cut the staff down by just having the cooks in the back. You order on the kiosks and then there will be like a wall where you don't even see the cooks. They just like make your food, throw it through a slide. It comes out a hole

and it's like got your name on it, and you take it. Then if you have a quandary or a complaint, like there are pickles on here, I didn't want them, you'll have to go through the kios again. You know, you won't be able to yell at the person at the cash register anymore. There's just a type it into the thing and if you're lucky, it'll come down the hole the right way the second time. And Jimmy,

I'm sure they haven't given up on automating the restaurants. But what I'm saying is that they suffered a serious setback here in the South because nobody wanted to screw with those stupid kiosks, because I don't know why, but everybody just got aggravated with it and didn't want to do it, so they ignored them. And then they pulled them out even out of the test areas where they put them in. They were like, come on in and try it.

We'll give you a coupon off on your And like I said, they even offered higher end food in the kiosk to try and be like, hey, look this is special, you know, come over and get this. And you know it's not hard to automate the whole restaurant and cook it and everything. Yeah, so you know, it's very possible. I mean, I'm sure a sophisticated set of conveyor belts could could come up with these things and fix everything to order, you know, not hard. I think Wendy's

might. On the X Files, well, did you catch the one where Moeller walked in the back to talk to the sheriff and or the sheriff the chef and there's a bunch of robots and they all just stopped froze what they were doing, and they were like, ooh, I don't yeah, I don't think I saw that one. By the way, I put that Marjorie Taylor Green image that I went and searched on the internet real quick and grab just to show everybody what the hell it is. I was ranting about for

a second. There, great, great, we're all happy about that, chef, Thank you. I do I do know that there was I read a story about this machine that like it's kind of like it takes up a huge space. But what you can do is you program it to make a bowl, is like the bowl o Mattic or something they called, and you

know, like in Asahi bowl. So you could like have a bowl restaurant and as long as you have like a ten by twenty foot area in the back, that's where you put this machine and you know, you can set it up to make your your own bowls. So I know that they have those things, and there's all sorts of that stuff, but that's the one that comes to mind. Yeah, bowls you're talking about where like where they

put either rice or noodles on the bottom and they just put stuff. Well well yeah, yeah that but I think the bulls they're talking about were like Asahi balls. You know what Asahi bowl is. Yeah, well okay, but that's an Asian thing where where you know, but if I'm correct, it's like just Asian food, but it's all in one bowl. But they've had American versions of this, like KFC has a bowl, right, they

have different bowls or they just put mac and cheese or potatoes underneath. But but yeah, no, no, I see bowl restaurants would make perfect sense. And you know what else would make perfect sense is if they did it at those convenience stores, those larger places like yes, sheets and sheets, yeah, yeah, yeah, sheets and blah blah yeah Pennsylvania exactly. Well, if you go into Pennsylvania used to be you had to go to the what was it the uh oh, the same people to make the ice cream

something farms. I know that Ohio has United Dairy Farmers. I can't think of well, I can't. I can't think of the farm zone from Pennsylvania. Everything. The damn thing looks just no, it's not prairie farms. The damn thing looks just like Khuahwa. But it's almost like a perfect ripoff of it. And it's uh oh, man, I can't think of that one. There was like what Turkey Hill, Turkey Hill, that's it, thank you Turkey Okay, Turkey Hill. The Turkey Hill stores are looked just

like Wohwa's. They're they're perfect ripoffs the Wahwa and the same kind of fast food in them and all that stuff, and she''s kind of developed a similar sort of deal. But I bet you can automate all that stuff and Taketo's and all that roller stuff. That would be nothing for an automated system to handle. Really. Anyway, Look, I'm gonna shut up because you got about three minutes left on your hour and you still got Jimmy on the phone,

so I'll let you go. But but always fun to talk about this stuff and how it relates to not only what they feed you, but what they feed you. Okay, yeah, I got it all right. Well, on that note, Jimmy, did you want to do you want to hang out on the phone for the Uncle show or you gotta get going? Well I got called back because I got telephonical issues lately, but uh, I just want to make that little mick comment. Alright, thanks for calling

Jimmy. We'll talk to you again, all right. Yes, So we definitely covered a lot of ground tonight, didn't We talked about the ever changing face of the military industrial complex, and we talked about hamburgers, and we talked about MTG's feet. So, I mean, what else do you really need to know about there's nothing really of importance out there that I can think of off the top of my head. Uh but we are live on the

So other foreign countries, we got our Australia, Canada, UK, Germany and where's

that other one? Oh Italy? Okay, so there you go, Italy, Germany, uh, UK, Yes, UK doesn't tell me specifically. It's given me numbers and letters that go together like some alpha numeric thing.

Electric Daz is in the chat and he says, hey from the UK, So Electric Daz is there, electric k I am going to tell anyone the crack crack room because I got something to say about the crack rooms. Oh boy, here it goes, there it goes.

in the crack room. I tell you guys, if you guys want to call in or figure out how to do it on your cell phones, call in on my show and then this this thing is very very easy. Then, since I found out how you call the number on the phone on the phone yourself and send in your message and then go through us. But but but what's so funny about it is they hit the name I told her about I told her about the I told her about the movie I was watching. So okay, okay, all this back it up a second, and I

told you I was going to talk about it. Yeah I know, I know, but I think a little context needs to be put in here. So what Uncle I'm saying is Uncle has a new blackjack game that he plays on his phone. So you got a blackjack game on your phone. You play the game, and you're playing. It's an online game where you're playing with other people online on people and so the game has a little integrated chat

room in it, and so people chat in the chat room. And then for a while, you're trying to figure out how the chat room worked, right right, you're asking me like how you get this to work? How do you work? And how to how to talk to the dealer? But the dealer, strangely, is that the ladys he's trying to talk to is that dealer? Well, well she's the one yapping. So wait, okay, she's the one yapping. So the main person talking in the chat room is the dealer. No, No, is the point talking back? Oh

yeah yeah yeah. The your fellow players are the ones in the chat room. The dealer doesn't say anything saying but what you you click to them, Hey, you can play the game if you want, and say your name and play the game and see what I'm talking You better get into this one and play the game, I mean, because I can't tell you you have to play it good. But but when I said my U, I said first word, I said big dog. But how many big doors? She said? How many big doors? Is about three or four big boys?

So I had to change it to John to know who the heck she's the chat? So I had to take another name? What take my first name? What is the name of this blackjack app? So other people can get it and talk to uncle on it? But what I'm going to do when I hear it again, I'm going to push the subject a little further mm hmm, to tell him that I've got a broadcast. Yeah, but do you know what the name? What's what's the name of the little app?

What's the name of the game? Does it happen like twenty one Jack Street twenty one? Something? I don't know? So twenty one Jack Street, Jack Jack twenty one. Every everybody can poker game, poker game, Poker game twenty one twenty one. You get twenty one, you win, pat Well, I see everybody, get on the app store right now.

the app store right now. I'm on the app store right now, and I see something that says twenty one Blackjack free pack Platch Trent twenty one black that's one. That's the one, Okay, So I'm looking at it. There's a lot of these, Okay. There there's Blackjack twenty one by uh a comic Karma Games. Uh. There, there's House of Blackjack twenty one. There's just an app called Blackjack from Triple Dot Studios. There's UH and

there's Blackjack World toward Blackjacks one one online online. Uh No, twenty one. It wasn't online. It was on the phone, but it is. I just got twenty one in the titles. Yeah, twenty one. These are all ones. With twenty one, you're gonna play a game and you talked to them, Well, I got five. I can't talk to him. And the next week of my show, do you tell you? Uh, yeah, show, I don't tell you. I was playing around with the app myself. I did didn't look at the title of the app.

I just didn't. I was I was too busy trying to get the chat to work. And we got that going. But the name, I can't recall the name of it. Well, you got to get the name of the app, because yeah, yeah, no, no that I'm gonna let so I can't do it and let him play a game. Okay, we can, Uncle, I'll tell you next week. You know what we can do, Uncle, what we can post it to your Twitter. We'd be like the name of the APPOSI and maybe we'll even give a link to it.

So what people have to do hold a minute? Can I hold a minute? Or get the phone and you do that? No, no, no, What people have to do, Uncle, is go to your Twitter. At podcasts, they need to hit the button so that they follow you. But when they do, they will be updated. When after the show, we'll go look and I'm posting of the app is and then you will be rewarded. So we're getting Twitter followed or something. And then then that's the way to do it. And I can do the same thing on Instagram

too, that's also we'll do that. We'll do that because I wanted to do this to get on my show. Well, you know what's great about it too is that you know, if you guys get a lot of traction, a lot of traffic over there, you could possibly say, hey, why don't you sponsor Uncle the podcast? And that's the other thing I mentioned to say, That's what I'm gonna tell them. Mentioned to say something to

oh with the Blackjack app. Yeah, the app, because they might have something where you know, what if you sign up for at our Blackjack app and you put in the word Uncle or whatever, you get a bonus something. You know what I'm saying. And uh yeah, yeah, yeah, an affiliate Uh, it could be an affiliate advertisement. Yeah, why not. I mean I'm just saying, take a look at it, see if

it can get done. But I mean even if we just go on there as followers of the Uncle Show and play together, it will be fun too, right Yeah, yeah, it could be good. Yeah. I like the idea. Well, we'll do that. We'll have that done, we figure out show him how to do it, and and then here I put it on the AB and we'll do it. I'll have that done next week, so we'll have one hundred and twenty two episode will be that one. So that's good. Yeah, yeah, so we've got that. I'll plan

Oh boy, you're gonna have We're gonna have. I'm gonna have more customers for for my cutting for my show. Could happen? Could happen? Possibly, definitely possible? And uh, hey Jimmy, I got something to talk to you about taking my team

now. Uh some move. I'm at Seminoles because that here dandire. I'm glad for them. I'm glad for your team for another reason. Now wait just a minute, so I can't Okay, I'm not saying anything. Yeah, quiet, okay, And I'm glad so the Lions. I won that because I think the may Tree some upsetts. Even though those two teams were rested, it doesn't mean he will probably win. You talked about Baltimore, Baltimore and San Francisco. Yeah, they came in as the top seed.

Ye on the top seed that there may be too much rest, too much rest. It's possible for two weeks off. Can you imagine two weeks off playing the balls get rusty and get rusty. Maybe it's possible. But but good luck to play in But I know, but I know good luck for Tampa Bay. Campa Bay, let me tell you has got some defense. You don't know how to handle that. What do you say, Jimmy boy, it is well. I suspect Lions forgot to have their way with the

Buccaneers. They should the sound noise, one would think, Yeah, I mean the Buccaneers. I'm surprised how well they've done this far, that they made it to the playoffs, and that they won their first game either does this remind you of something? So I can the man before him and before him that in this house, nobody likes the man in this house, and nobody likes I hope it's not me. No, say you're not a football player. Oh oh Tom Brady? Yes, Oh god, they come back

with another quarterback. Oh you're talking about Tampa Bay had Brady Brady. Yeah, what was that? Now? Two years ago? Was it last year that he was still on the team? That was? Where was that two years ago? Gosh, I can't even remember. Was that two years ago? Jimmy? What was it? Do you know? To block it out of my mind? I don't know. I don't know when what? Well that was last year? You went, yeah, I took his last season? Yeah, last season? Well, I think he just just by just

retired. They got Baker Mayfield and Baker Mayfield now and he's fitting his shoes fitting hissues. Good luck on that position. No, I'm mostly worried about I need those forty nine ers to beat those packers. Those Packers need to go away. Oh you went to Package Ago, Yeah, because that's the divisional team for for the Lions, right, is that right? Jimmy? Am I wrong? They're different divisions. Yeah, they just won't go away. We won the division and they just won't leave. They keep hanging on.

Well, they got to play the tough Fortners. Yeah. Yeah, they're gonna give their money. Well, they're gonna get their moneys with let me tell you that it'll be good. I have an awful feeling that the Packers are gonna win, but I want to win very you do, Yo. There's one that has the agreement on them, Pakistan. I mean those package fans, both of those teams. I find it hard to back either

the forty nine ers or the Packers. But I guess we got a week by the way, so I kicked, when are we supposed to give the money in? And tell her you? Well, yeah, I we'll figure that out. I I I'm very curious about it now because because he's got somebody that would playing this game too. Yeah, the super Bowl box box game, that deal, I know what that is. But yes, uh, I mean the playoffs are heating up. It's getting exciting now. It

is the team's getting eliminated. That the what was it, the super wild Card week guns over and now we're in what the divisional weekend? Divisional weekend borrow, they got ya tomorrow and two Sunday. I think two tomorrow in two Sunday, Is that right, Jimmy? Is that like, Jimmy? It's eight teams, yeah, which makes four games? Four games? Is that right? Oh? Yeah, there's gonna be four games. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think the Lions game good night, isn't that?

No, it's a night game. It's okay. It's the prime timeline. No, no, the pointtime. The primetime one should be the Baltimore and the San francisc No, that's the first one. Those should be those. San Francisco in Texas is the first one. Thirty. No, it's the Ravens going up against Texas. Yeah. Yeah, as I said, four to thirty. Well, I don't know the East. I'm getting confused between the Eastern time. I'm in the Western time. So it's one thirty on

time. We're always wrestling at times. It's time zone in this away every time? Did that revolution? I have a problem. I'm thinking of time zones. But we get our here. The early game started like two, and all the pregame stuff. We start watching one. But that's right, you're one o'clock and whatnot? Right? Yeah, yeah, we got three hours. I think that different. That's what I'm saying. I think that four thirty time is probably Eastern because yeah, I think you guys get a

game around one thirty or something like that on that that's the one. That's the one, the one thirty game, that's the one the Ravens in Texas that would make the most sense. That's the first one. Yeah, that's what I was saying. Well, with my Revolution show though, it really gets me going with them, with them, I see what you mean, Chuck. It's a right, Jimmy, right, right right, I mean

with these time zones, it gets me on the football, right. But it'll it'll all work out because you know, you'll have two pack days of football, right yeah, yeah, fairly passed. Fair Yeah, clap the regular season, but it's packed enough because the games means so much. Now, Yeah, it goes to the goes to the Vegas cash Man, Vegas cash Me closing in on the Super Bowl, which will be in twenty one Back Street twenty one Jacks Trap Traps. What is that? Twenty one craps,

twenty one claps, twenty one Craps. That's the name of the app. Everybody go on the app store and look up twenty one craps with the app you know what I mean? You got it, But otherwise we will leave that on Uncle's Twitter. Yeah no it or Jennerous Circle. We should get into the Sudden Fresh. Oh these they're good food delivery people. Suddenly Hello Fresh. Hello. We hit them, but I think they were like not what I was looking for. Remember that was worth what the name?

Same? Son? I do it? This is oh you're talking about like the Uber eats and all that kind of stuff. That's what I'm saying you when you order from a restaurant, they bring it to you. No, he's mentioning Hello Fresh, which is like Hello Flesh. Oh that thing, yeah yeah, yeah, we know about that. We know about that. Yes, yeah yeah my sister in law was subscribed to that for a while. Yeah yeah, I don't know. You guys need Hello Fresh flesh.

Uncle, see right, you can have you can have that. Don't don't fill my phone already. Get I'm trying to get another ad. I bet they probably do have affiliate advertise for they have to look it up. It would be likely look it up to look into that one for an advertiser, Uncle, they do they do on podcasts. Well that's why they like the podcast. Okay, there we go. Well, there could be our cash cow. Right they're selling them food. Well, they don't put my final

food though, because it's got a lot of pasta. I don't you can give to a non pasta plan. The let's let's hold off on selling this service before we're actually an affiliate advertiser. But when at such a point we are, we will. We'll hop right on board and we'll talk about how they don't have pasta. We got that whatever you want to get it on my meals because that does the sugary lining up and down, and that's why I do. That's the last thing we need. I don't need that.

Well, right now I've had this court full battle battle. You're doing pretty good right now, uncle, you're right now, you all under control. I was worried about that coming into this. I have a pump of hot tea next to me just in case and if I do cough, I got a call to the side and I haven't handed. Yeah, you've been good. That's exciting. Yeah, I was worried about that. If you can continue this streak tomorrow, we might be able to do a VHS watch party

where we watch tapes again. Yeah, I wouldn't like it too, because I saw this one when you had your hour. This one might be a very good one to look at. Yeah, this is gonna be one of our upcoming tapes. What is it? Thrilling, chilling, amazing plays in Sports volume three? So this is everything in it, I guess. I mean it's got it's like a sports clips tape. It's how what's the runtime on this? It looks like approximately thirty minutes? It says, oh we

can do that one quiki. Yeah, so this is years from ninety three. So yeah, this'll be a fun one. We got to watch the rest of that candid camera tape too, so we'll start watching that. We I have that, so we'll break that back out. We'll watch the rest of it. Maybe we'll get into this tape. And I think I have another tip we could watch if we keep going. So everybody check out their

YouTube channel. Yeah, YouTube channel. I remember those those are big, like uh people were okay, so you remember when they started like to really offload the VHS's and like retail stores they they oh you mean dump them because the format was done? Yeah, because the format was done. There were tons of those kind of sports highlight things, like all different volumes, different

things. Sports Illustrated put them out. There were tons of them, maybe like every kind of sports thing put them out right, and it was all like highlights and crazy plays and collisions and wild stuff like you know, baseball collisions, and they were trying to get everything. The first wave of VHS stuff was like non copyrated stuff, right, because the first Hollywood was boycotting

it, banning it. So the first things, like the first two films I ever watched down VHS was Night of the Living Dead and didn't isn't that a program show? Now? Well no, no, no, you're yeah, you're thinking of the Walking Dead, but no, the originally that yeah, the original Night of the Living Dead. Because there was no copyright on it, like there was one hundred versions of it out there on VHS.

It was hilarious. And uh, I listen, I go all the way back to Beta Max And when there was Beta Max tapes out in the seventies, it was hilarious. It was three hundred bucks to go ahead and buy a copy of like say Star Wars in nineteen seventy nine, it was hilarious the amount of money. And actually, the funny thing is Beta Max was a better quality tape. The VHS took off, but the Beta Max was better. Yeah, VHS ended up cornering the market. I know that this

particular tape Thrilling, Chilling, Amazing plays in Sports Volume three. It has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of nineteen ninety five, right, twenty bucks. I paid less than that, I can tell you, even with inflation these days, I got it very cheap. Is that. We got that also from the from the the shirt sales. Yeah, in the shirt sales, right at the thrift store. That's what. Yeah, this was yes, yeah, well then, yes, yes we did that. There's all sorts

of great. We have some good. We have a couple of good disk stories here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we had at one of them I got this tape from. Actually has excellent collection of books, like one of the better book collections i've seen in one. No, no, that's our third start. That's where that's from. I was just wondering because I know you went in one way, we went the other when we went to look at the shows. Yeah, it's a really good thrift start. Good

clothes good books. Some of the weird house knickknacks end up being cool sometimes, like weird pictures for your wall. They one time they had a photo of I think it was a band playing live. It was some big rock band, I can't remember, but it was a photo somebody took from a concert, like an old thirty five millimeters photo that they took a picture of and then they framed it and then that was in there, Like weird stuff like that. I was like, Oh, that's kind of cool, Like,

yes, you never know what you're going to see in there. I love them. Cool good stuff. Cool. But yeah, we also get our VHS tape, so if you subscribe to Uncles, you too, Yeah, listen to it and and when we get up put it on. We'll put it on and then have it sit. Then when we've seen it, we put my car in it. Yes, we can send it down back to them, so that way another way we get people. Another promotional trick

we figured out. We figured out how to creative out here. Yeah, and we take it right back to their story with the Uncle cart in there, and we give the rating that we gave it on the back of the carts that people know how we feel about it. Yeah, and it just seems to be a real good way of doing business. And that's the way we do business for my show. That's where bring some more customers over to me, bring them in here because that way, you know. But yeah,

you may call into the show. We've got Jimmy on the line. But you may join us three one seven five zero one six or skype Charles Dotter Chillian Skype. You type him a message and he calls you.

But now god, yeah that one. But because of that and the lady actually hood me, it was shocking. I'm gonna have this done next week. Uncle. Uncle is very used to the chat room, obviously from doing the show, but he's not used to actually being in the chat room himself and using it. This is like kind of

I could tell uncles an athlete get the moves. Yeah, it's a fun time uncle. Arcades. Actually, Uncle, I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but there are entire YouTube channels dedicated to people going to arcades like that and just making videos over and over where they're doing that. Have you

seen those, Robin? I can't say I have found that side of the internet. No. Yeah, my kids introduced that one to me and like, okay, this guy just goes to arcades all day and makes videos. Okay, each arcade might have like obscure games that you know, might be neat to see or something they like, this guy's got the one and only Scubity Bop number one. That's it. Yeah, you know, yeah at the university boo. You Jimmy, I was just gonna say I read where

Magnavox really uh screwed the poop. In the early fifties, the guy that invented video games offered them pretty much table tennis that they could have had built into their TVs in like the early fifties. Oh, but they said, nah, now we'll pass on that. And in the seventies they were back at them, and so they did try it. But twenty years later, can you imagine the nineteen fifties if they had something like that playing some pong on the TV back then? Yeah? Cool, all right? Why not?

Why not start him out right? That would have inspired the inspired the the next generation of of nerds. A bit earlier. Mm hmm, that's all about gaming these days, we would have gone to where we are now a little quicker. Maybe we would have already been in the view. Yeah, so waiting to I tell you guys, I tell you guys something, Wait until next week. Well, I have a lot of people in the chat chat and wait, are you gonna recruit all your poker people earlier?

We're gonna send him out, that's questions. He's gonna talk, So why kick he is gonna talk? And we're gonna get going. If you don't get any any robots that come over and and then take over the chat trying to sell us bitcoin, n cooins or something, you know, bitcoin bots, Uncle might get hey, but you just watch. You gotta be careful in the chat you got you know, you'll know, you'll know the bots

I mean talking about the chatom and they really took and I start saying, wake up, chat They kicking them eaves, Now wake up. They're looking up. Well, at least we know that they am. Oh yeah, guy, Jimmy, that guy. Okay. Another fascinating fact about that guy the work for Magnavus. Do you ever wonder why we

call remote coatrols clickers? This guy in the fifties. One of his big events, it's was the remote patrol and he kind of made them look almost like a gun. And this, of course, they had a big influence in the future. On the Star Trek, the original series, the ray gun is used. The thing they used, you know, heavily influenced the aesthetics. Oh god, you know this is this is right? Hold on, this is almost like right on time. Somebody's dumping some spam into the

You're playing the chat and playing with the chat room when you expect you're gonna get. That's with the chat,

That's some as MR right there. Chatter. Oh yeah, yeah, Uncle, we need to do more as MR videos. What's this video? He can I recommend one? Yeah? What do you? Oh, here's a sequence I'd like to hear with a SMR. First we got First, we got uncle breathing kind of heavy, all right, It's like he's he's

like he's waking up in the morning, he's getting ready. He's breathing a bit heavy. Then he puts the teeth in and we hear but of chattering as the teeth. Okay, it's just and then and then he makes and then he makes a sandwich, and we hear all the slopping of the of the mayonnaise, and this our crowd and stuff. Oh yeah, away, I got some more sound crowd there, Yeah, we got a fresh jar of it, God help us. Then we hear and then we hear a little soda pop, can't open up, and then a little that's all.

That's a full SMR video right there, both people. You're gonna be serious here. I'm waiting on on getting a bag of meat for a second one day to make a meatloaf. I make a meatloaf. I make a good meatload. Yeah yeah, we do need to do that. And just go to the store and ask get mean big size panca. Only uncle loop it up for us and have those women step away from the kitchen, my alien. Please. The only thing they're allowed to do is run a camera that

record you. That. That will be it. Other than that, No, you are making the meal. We we'll do that. Yeah, we we that's some prime. That's what that's on next meal. If that's what you dies was thinking about. That cut the bag open, you shaped the meat into a loaf and that it's done well unless Yeah, but you can put some ingredients into it? Oh, what people would want? I like me? Like me, I would like some a little bit of onions. So why would put a little bit of onions in it? Mention anybody else

what they want? And what would you want? OK? So you are taking requests on this recipe. Yeah, recipe for somebody who wants to know what they can put in it. Maybe put a little bit of pepper in there. I'll ask count peppers asking if you put sour kraut in your chili? Do you do that? Uncle? No, I haven't tried it yet. You do, Robin? You do love them? No? I was kind of wondering the same. I don't. I've never done it. No, what do you think even of that Jimmy? Hold on him? What

he'd say? Give me? Probably put something funky in his chili? What does he got? No? No, no, I don't put I'm not a sour crop fan and I'm a pre traditional chili eater. Oh well, well, because you heard about what I'm gonna do. So since he since a northern man, excited to talk about get back to making making stuff that will be the first thing on my mind to do, to put it on the champion in the room. That's the thing that we do. We do

have to do that. So that's the first one. What you were saying was right, we haven't been doing it, but that was my first meal that I was going to do. You could put some jalapenos in there, well, spicy. Well, I know some people like him, some people don't. That might that might be a no no for the kids, right, I'm going well, would know who would eat and we know you would eat them. I mean, but no one else would like something hot unless

your wife would. May she may? I think she could see me a person lying on the spice roll, and maybe her after me, and then maybe I can do it in half half of one side, half of a jalapeno. Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna experiment on something on today in my in my supper. Who was good m he's a hot man too. There add things as halipinos. Sometimes you'll get one that's like super hot,

and then other times to get one that's like almost even mild. They really you know what you're getting into if you fry them, if you fry them up, they kind of all go a bit mild. Hm hmm. That's a mile with the onions though. I like an onion taste, but within cooked going to be pretty tasty because I like my onions because I've been eating onions with my salads. But but right, yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be Yeah, you're playing raw. Yeah, there's another video.

Here's another video. Let's see a video of Uncle eating a raw onion. It was another one. Have you ever done that? Uncle? I know you know what I did one time, Uncle, is I juiced an onion. I drank the juice and that did go over too well? What did that taste? Like? I was, why did you go to to that like that that Santa claus wine? Yeah, but a lot like fast forward, A much quicker than the Santa claus wine. It was it burns. I could feel burning in my stomach. Yeah, that one was rough.

That was where what prompted that some health health I think it was boredom, probably back in Ohio. It's just when your boys were sitting around there making yeah. Yeah, we had a juicer and we've been using the juicer, like, yeah, let's juice the son you and I was like, yeah, I'll do it. I put that thing in there. Okay, I drank. It was like, oh okay, that's how it goes. Is that on one of your videos? Maybe I have a lot of videos that

sort of stuff, but that one was not recorded though. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was just for the ether. Yeah, just for fun. You know, sometimes you just gotta do it for fun. So it was. It was a good time. Any any other uh yeah, hold on it. I want to find out if there's any other collers out kind of get the call in callers. Are you out there? Call Yeah, at the moment, I don't have any other callers. We just got Jimmy James on the phone and Robin on the skype. Okay, I need I

And this is the thing that Jimmy Nolan says, right, No, that's not right. There's four of us on the line and none of the Lara. There we go. You got it, Lara Laura. You guys call her that, but that's not no, but that's what she settled on when yeah, no, no, it's it's it's yeah, it's a pseudonym,

You're in the dragon, I think, right, would dragon wood dragon? That's different than the right our dragon. Well, every I learned this to the last year.

Every year has the animal, but then it also goes it goes cycles through the elements you know. Oh okay, I didn't know. Last year was the I think last year was maybe the water rabbit. M interesting, the old school elements, the fire water. Yeah, I don't know. What's not really an element, but maybe maybe maybe it's Earth. One would think it would equate to Earth, right, that might be the new That's the Chinese Pokey Verse. It's been going for thousands of years. There you

go. All we need now we need in this podcast is somebody from China. Oh yeah, that would be good. That would be good, that would really that would get on just changing up. Yeah, I gotta say I've only ever seen a couple of people on my website from China. Only a few, very very few over the years. I'll call, I'm call the podcast might be bound in Shato. You never know. Yeah, I'm thinking, what do you mean? What do you mean by that? They've

got restricted internet over there. It's a very subversive broadcast. I didn't know. I'm gonna know because I didn't know that. Yeah, especially when you're associated with sidekicks Government Hour. He's always criticizing. No, that's his personal owl. Yeah, but there's gonna have nothing to do with his side of

the owl. Yeah, but the problem is there's weird rules in every country, right, so like you go to like, like, for instance, in the UK, if you it's technically illegal to make fun of the British Royalty, right, like, you can't criticize them on airwaves in the UK, So you could get yourself. You can get your podcast banned the same way. Believe it or no, it's weird, then then forget it because I was thinking something. Yeah, everybody has their own national form of sense.

I didn't know, but I didn't know. I didn't notice that. And since he said that, I didn't know that that was downed. You're down to ten minutes, by the way, just so you know what you got left in your broadcast. Good that's exciting. Was being excited here? You exciting? That's what it is. Uncle.
