The age.

You're listening to, the Age of Transitions. I'm your host, Aaron Franz, coming at you live this Friday night, October eleventh, two thousand and twenty four. Live every Friday night from the facilities of Chili dot com ten pm to midnight Eastern Standard time. First hour is the Age of Transition. Second hours uncle the broadcast.

And it starts to.

Get change in a way that goes beyond our ability to do the consciously alter things. And honestly, the life of a human being is way more unconscious than it is conscious when we're being honest with ourselves. Just as a matter of course, And we could take this back to the quote unquote natural.

World before the fall.

Happened, before we left the garden of Eden. Even if we want to look at it that way, I could even say, well, back then it would have been more unconscious than conscious anyway, because that's just our nature. So we do think we act subconsciously, we act unconsciously. We have conscious awareness, Yes, can we consciously control things?

Yes?

Do we do that a majority of the time?

No?

Is it useful to note that we usually are not doing things consciously?

Yes?

I would say yes, absolutely it is because it makes whenever we do have conscious choices and we are actually aware and affecting things with actual purpose, it makes it that much more powerful and useful and purposeful when we know how rare and fleeting of.

A moment it is in our lives.

That's a time that we're doing it being perfectly aware and in the moment and actually conscious for once, because we're not usually in that state. This is all fun stuff. I had no idea I was going to say any of this, but here we are, and I did kind of want to make a comment on the Age of Transition's title as well. I've done this plenty of times, but we can't give credit enough to where credit is due. That being our friend Newt Gingrich, he's the one who

We think of him.

As that quintessential Republican of that era before the neocons Raus to prominence, right, it was before any of that even happened.

He was like the.

Template for the Republican conservative politician in DC on Capitol Hill, working Speaker of the House.

He was that guy.

So he was very sort of run of the mill, very generic in many ways. He exemplified a lot of the values ascribed to the Republican Party at that time, absolutely, which have changed very much over time and up to the present. We're not going to talk about all the changes that have occurred, but clearly I think everybody can see who's been around this song can see that the changes have happened and that we both parties have changed

Now he was saying all that.

Meanwhile, the point I was making that the party line had shifted and was certainly in a period of shifting rapidly as Trump and Maga rose to prominence in twenty sixteen got elected.

So it's just.

It's fascinating to see mister Age of Transitions hop on that before it was a bandwagon and say, hey, look this is the future. He's doing the same thing with the Age of Transitions essay, where he talks about transhumanist technologies.

He talks about all sorts.

Of converging technologies, artificial intelligence, nanotech, all these things that the transium in is talk about all the things I talk about on this show in my book in the Age of Transitions video that I made all of these things about emerging technologies, converging technologies. Jingridge was there in two thousand and one at that NBIIC conference the Department of Commerce put on.

He was at that. So he's somebody who very much in the Age.

Of Transitions essay is like, look, this is the way that free market capitalism is going. This is the way that the American system needs to adapt itself to these technologies to be competitive in the world. But also, you know, the business capital world.

Has to.

Aggressively develop these technologies and integrate them into the governmental sector as well. So, as I recall, he does talk about that sort of public private symbiosis in that private industry has to developed these things and then share it with government, et cetera, et cetera. I should go back into the notes and look at that, maybe read the whole thing again. It's useful to read every now and again and see the particulars of that. But I do

All of the different.

Ideas from there were brought in very purposely into the magasphere used as part of the campaign, the original twenty sixteen Donald Trump campaign, and used to great effect and contributed certainly to him winning the first time around. It wasn't the only thing that made him win, but it was a big part of It's a big part of what MAGA is is this response to the old guard system that is corrupt, right, drain the swamp to.

Get rid of it.

Here is this new, completely different sort of person that we're creating. He's not a politician, but all of a sudden, he's a president. So don't think of him as a standard politician because he's not that. He's a businessman, right, business interesting, So you've got that, You've got to bring it back to the subconscious level. The electorate and the American people at large have this subconscious realization that we

That's beside the point.

That's his identity, that's who he is, at least in the world of appearances. So that's all that matters when it comes to propaganda, public perception, that sort of thing, mass consciousness. So that was a significant move that occurred, and once again media communications, technology technologies, online media not only had a huge effect on the outcome of that election, but an outcome on the presentation of all politics and all political discourse from here on out. We're living in

And we will talk about it.

And I've I mean, I've been talking about the past year here and different ideas about it. I don't want to be labor a lot of stuff, I really don't. I want to try to give different points of view that I don't think I've really discussed yet. And there's things that have been on my mind that seem kind

That visual.

The entire Maga movement uses this visuals from those various films, and the fringe online community has for over a decade now, a couple of decades at this point, has used the iconography from the Wachowski films and taking it on as their own. If we've mentioned this before, but the fifth of November is when the election takes place. Boy, we're gonna have a fun time. I hope you all have

To me.

It seems like it could go either way. It really does. I could see either way happening, but I do have some ideas about what will happen.

In either.

It's important to see what people have already said, how they've described this election. It's been described as perhaps the last election that we'll have. Our democracy as we know it hangs in the balance that it may not exist afterwards. People have said this, this is all things that I've heard this is just sort of a you've heard it too, So we're just you know, going back in our own heads repeating these things that we've heard over and over and over and over the sole election process. So it's

This is the winner.

Be certain is uncertainty because in any case the other side is.

Going to.

Call foul and say the election was this election was stolen, or this election the results are in question because we had this and this and this, and of course that's gonna happen if Trump goes in there. I mean that of course, as we did last time. Was so he's gonna do again. We understand that that's not even that's a no brainer. And he's been talking about this the whole time. They complain about this on TV that I go. He's he's saying it's gonna contest the results. He's already

Uh.

And not only are they gonna be say no, there's no way it was stolen. Of course we won. There's no way that we could have lost. But they're going to point out the hypocrisy from the other side, and they're gonna be like, hey, remember when we said that the election was stolen the last time around, when Trump lost and and and we were telling you over and over and over it was stolen, it was stolen.

It's on.

Everybody said we were crazy, everybody said we were evil. And look look at things now, look at how the tide has turned. And now you're we expect you expect us to sit here and say, oh, yeah, of course, do you see you catch my drift?

Right? I just there's no way that is not happening.

If Donald Trump wins, absolutely that is gonna happen, and it's gonna feed into all sorts of insanity. It's not it's gonna be horrible, and it's gonna be crazy to see the Maga crowd go like, yeah, no, not stolen. You're a bunch of hypocrites. It was stolen for us,

They'll probably use that line.

Like look, we're going through with a peaceful transfer of power, and they may use those tropes from the previous time around and use that in that transitional period. It's like, Okay, Trump's coming in, we have to make sure that our democracy is upheld, and like the you know, all of our time on our traditions and all this stuff that we've heard before, they will use that. Meanwhile, just going going to town, like all of these crazy people on

And so.

Franchised with the system, the American government, the political process, the electoral process, that there's.

Going to be.

Desire to alter the entire thing. I do think that that is going to happen. It has been happening. If we're looking back over these decades once again, we see the changes of our time and just the general sentiment about the American political system as a whole. Nobody's happy with it. Nobody's happy with our system of government. Clearly

And they have it seems like.

The original Trump election. I think that's a post that we haven't fully reckoned or come to terms with. But if I may be so bold, I'm going to attempt to now. I think that post there was the one in which once we passed it, those ideas which were once seen as fringe, once seen as conspiracy, once scene as lunatic, that only the fodder for maniacs who are terminally online and out of their damn minds. Only people

Just takes one post uh online for them to get going.

But for the average person, we've heard all of this. Everybody knows about all these things. The Epstein story came out during the Trump years. That was something that was the fact that that became a mainstream story was really wild because that exemplifies so much of this sort of out there concept that there is a the elite segment of the population of people who are power brokers. They have influence either politically, in business, or both entertainment. They're

It was always a mess.

Frankly, it may have always been more trouble that it's worth. But you're really in the long in the long view of things. But it's not getting any easier or any better for us, just the average person who's trying to to educate themselves and understand how the world works, because absolutely the stuff is being used as a weapon against

Any given.

Topic that we might address, we could address, all of it is at least based in reality. Okay, The issue is how are those issues used, How.

Are they.

Thrown together, what other sort of concepts ideas information, what sort of general purpose are they being put toward. Are are they being put toward actually finding solutions to these different issues? Are they more so just being used to rile up a population, which yes, has been disenfranchised by a corrupt system which is giving everything to more and more a tiny minority, and creating advance for large, large capital groups just to come in and make more money.

But to what end?

What is the purpose of all this? And this is the question I've been asking over and over all these years, and looking at the dark side of this, seeing what side of the conspiracy is the conspiracy.

Against all of us?

How is this weaponized and used as a tool of dissolution in the alchemical sense, to break down the old system, to dissolve it so that it may alchemically be melted down in the crucible, only to be recast into something else later. What is that something else? It remains to be seen. How much later We don't know. We don't know where we are in this process. Presumably there's going to be a lot of rapid sort of ups and downs. It's gonna be very The heat in this alchemical laboratory

And yes, it might.

Not mean anything, but I just always find those sorts of concepts pretty wild and I think useful. To me, it means something. It's funny to see how symbolic literacy and understanding the deeper sides of occult concepts sort of felter the cracks the whole time when we were supposed to be pointed towards those topics. All we get is the occult means that Satan is here. We're supposed to believe that because it doesn't mean anything. You don't have

And that's real easy to say.

And I realize that I can say this and even I will get caught up in so many things. But I'm just trying to remind myself not too more often than not. And we'll see what we can do about that as things get wild and crazy. But maybe it won't be so bad. Maybe we're reading a little too much into this. Maybe all this talk about the end of democracy, is itself just a big propaganda push that we shouldn't even be putting any merit in hard to say, per certain, but uh, yeah, we have a lot. We

Comes out of that trial.

It's like, Okay, yeah, this evidence was entered in, this was ered in, this was earned in, and this was the verdict.

He was guilty on this charge. He was guilty on this church.

He's guilty on this charge, and this is all the evidence that was stacked up against him. Pretty fascinating to see that, to see that happen. And I think that's another aspect of the decaying Old world that we see are our old world's crumbling all around us, no matter, there's nothing we can do about that.

We are in the midst of that.

And I think that whole Diddy story, I think what we're seeing there an interesting thing to pull out of that is the destruction and the disposal of the old icons of the old entertainment and media system as we knew it. He's a fascinating guy because he came up around that same time that I was referencing in the year two thousand and then into posts nine to eleven. He came to prominence at that time, and I think that's feltworthy.

You know a couple of things, Aaron, I want to drop on you right here at the end, because you got my mind swirling. You know. On the one hand, there is the and appreciate your sentiment about the dogs. There's something weird going on with him. I can't sort it out, but anyways, but weird thing you got my mind swirling about is I'm listening to you. Is that on the one hand, the crazy, easiest of conspiracy theories.

I don't. I'm not sure what you mean, Chuck.

But you're gonna say, of course when I say this, but how about it was all faked?

Oh you're talking about the George Floyd incident with his death.

Yeah, his death, the video, all of it was faked.

Yeah, well that's standard. Fair with any given news story, there's always somebody saying it was fake, it was an actor putting up a scene because fill in the blank that any news thing is always like that.

But being that it's a right wing thing that is pissing off the right wing, you figure they would leave it alone. But no, there is a contingent out there that wants to say it was all stage, none of it was real. You know, George Floyd was an actor, you know, the same people that came out and said, oh, that guy is actually from the cash Cab. Remember that they said that one of the cops was actually the cash Cab comedian.

Okay, all right, yeah, well this is standard fair two. Of course you said that, I know, but okay, okay, But anyway, but there is a contingency out there that swears that there is that it was all fakery. There's nothing real there.

It was just staged. It was a total crisis actor thing. And yeah, we're used to that, but it's a weird one to hit. Usually they don't hit something like this. It's always got to be you know, it's a school shooting. It's not a real guy. He's mk mind controlled, you know. But anyway, the weird thing is that the most far out crazy crap gets proven true, and people should be able to celebrate that and say, look, you know you were calling us crazy a few years ago. This stuff

There are people praying around like, look, we're right, We're always right, because I feel like that's a trip to Jones is always said that I'm always right about everything.

I said this, I remember, that's just him. What I'm saying is that there were a lot of people. Remember Dave Chappelle said, you know what, there's a lot of weird stuff going on. I went to Africa. Yeah I got away, but they tried to, you know, do a character assassination on me, and that was all true. That was really bizarre, the stuff they did to Dave Chappelle and the way they manipulated entertainers. But then people get into a deeper, darker thing and they go, you know

And yes, yeah, it was almost a question of like what is this guy even doing, Like what's his is is he a rapper?

Producer? Is he a producer? He's got the making the band, the TV show all of a sudden, he's got TV shows, He's a superstar, right.

Yeah, where'd he come from? What's he doing? I don't understand this. All of this whole machine is like trl MTV and it was on gets all wrapped into one giant presentation. It's all very cranny, it's all very stupid looking and in the media that nobody will care when it's turned in the trash.

He's garbage to begin with. And even though he wrapped a bunch of gangster like guys, he wasn't a gangster, right. He was the goofy pop guy, and he launched his whole career off of the corpse of Christopher Wallace, who everybody else knows is Biggie Small's or the notorious Big Yes. And now people wonder, you know, hey, did he have that? Did he have Christopher Wallace murdered? How about did what about this? Tupac and Biggie both of them unsolved murders? Right?

D D.

I mean, seriously, though, this is like a weird pop culture kind of twisted thing that has gone on. And there is also, let's be honest, you and I are you know, basically were considered white guys. There's also the black conspiracy theory, uh community, Oh yeah, yeah, that's which nich has always exist. He always has, I mean, to be honest with you. When when h what's his name? Uh, the guy who was you know, the radio guy. Oh

Uh.

They have soda out there which is going to turn around and uh what was it? It neuters black men, right, and it renders them stale? Uh sterol. Excuse me, I cann't get the word out sterile.

Uh.

All that stuff that was real, Church's chicken poisons black people, right, all kinds of weird stuff like this. They had different things against products which I quite honestly thought their competition was launching against them. You know, why do black men drink so much grape soda? They've been programmed to drink it. Why do they all smoke menthols? Oh it's a thing, it's a mind control thing, etc. They have a deep hidden conspiracy thing that they only discuss amongst themselves mainly.

Yeah, even when he didn't talk about it, he said that he did, and he said that he's right.

A back, right. He predicted nine to eleven, supposedly right. He didn't predict nine eleven. Bill Cooper said some crap about nine to eleven ahead of nine to eleven. Yeah, but Alex Jones co opted Bill Cooper and then turned around into famed him, called him a drunk and said he was just you know, some jerk and everything else, even though Bill Cooper is the originator of what Alex Jones does.

Yeah, yeah, and he went out in the fashion that everybody sort of romanticizes in that world, with like the law enforcement coming and gunning him down, which is Yeah.

Another wild thing is the guy was shot dead by you know, these cops and everything. Weird situation, you know, on his property, you know, and he's again another guy was part of the patriot movement, you know, and there's something to it. There's something to that, but I can't put my hands around it entirely, you know, did Bill Cooper know any of the real deep dark secrets.

No.

Bill Cooper was selling the wrong end of a lot of things, including you know, the driver shot Kennedy, all kinds of nonsense which he pushed.

And he ma, can't it. He's like, oh, yeah, I was on the alien stuff before. I'm sorry. That was obviously misinformation. So he went back and forth with things too.

I mean when I saw him in person in I think it was around ninety four ninety five, I went from Jersey down to Georgia. It was like one of the first times I'd ever been to Georgia. And we went to go see him at like this high school. Oh wow. Yeah, Like he actually would go to he went to weird places to do his presentations where he'd show his Kennedy video and then he'd show all these

There has to be so many videos of him, if only people would like their home cameras or VHS cameras that were like, I'm gonna go see both, Cooper, I'm winning videotape it.

No.

I saw guys with video cameras there, so I know that video was taken.

Yeah, man, And honestly that stuff would have value now, so I don't know who out there has that sort of thing, but I.

Mean, I don't know. It might be up on YouTube. I'm sure somebody's decided to sell it by now, because at one point, you remember, conspiracy videos were one of the most popular things on the Internet. We've talked about the you know, the obsolete man and our friend there who used to manufacture them in masks so you can hand them out for cheap. Right.

Yeah, that's that's a whole interesting time and phenomenon in and of itself, without a doubt, But those we're not in that time anymore.

We're in a time of just like everything is just always online. There's the physical media.

Everything is streaming, everything's on YouTube, everything's on YouTube video, everything's on TikTok.

Everything's mashed up together.

See.

That's the amazing thing is I don't know how to classify the transitional period we're in now. We're in a constant age of transition. I even found your video on some website. I put it in the chat room, by the way, I don't even know if you know your videos On these other websites, people have grabbed up other people's material and put it elsewhere, and you've got no control over it. Like, unless you're one of these major corporations, you can't be hitting people for copyright strikes, you know.

Yeah, yeah, I don't have the AI system that goes out and pulls all this stuff from various channels.

It's on Youah No, but I guarantee you there's people making money off of your work.

Oh yeah, oh yeah, they always have and now they're able to do it more. Yeah, I'm sure it's probably people use it for TikTok videos and stuff. Probably maybe, I don't know, it's probably at least in pieces like use like a little clip of it or something.

I don't know. I don't even been on TikTok. Well, look, ultimately, I've made your show run over time, but I just want one of these days for you to come up

You know what, that might be a useful project to like make a visual sort of timeline of this sort of stuff and like classify these different periods and these different activities, like give them actual classifications, make graphics, make timelines.

That could be a useful project now that you mentioned it, and maybe talk to a couple older I think this would be great for like your Patreon or some new YouTube video for you, would be to like talk to some older people that pre exist you or me, right, you know, talk to me a little bit about the time period just before you, but talk to a couple other guys about like the time in the seventies and eighties when people were manufacturing were literally like printing their

What did they call them back then, the binder like the binder ones.

Yeah, they had a name for that though there was something that they called them something, but they were like one off books. And even Howard Weisberg, who had regular published books, turned around and started making copies of his own books in his house because the book companies would no longer seriously if you sent them way to Howard Weisberg and I got one of them and he literally like laminated the outer cover.

Yes, but you could tell it was a homemade job. You know, they called a monographs cheap. It's very cheap and homemade. But in a way, I mean, those things are a piece of history. If anybody cares about.

It, I don't know.

I mean it seems like a niche sort of interest, but at the same time, I also view it as an important aspect of history.

That's my pointy on ow. It's like the Internet of things. Before there was an internet, you know, is something people distributed tapes, like I've talked about the May Brussel tapes and Bill Cooper's tapes, and you know, there were people that were tape traders, and I did that in the eighties and nineties, but some people did that in the seventies when cassette tapes were a little more expensive. You know, you couldn't buy them at the dollar store stuff like that,

On that note, Yeah, I went to Best Buy today. I have been there in a while. But what they have as essentially its own department. But it's own section. I don't know if you call a whole department, but there's an entire section devoted to podcast product.

There you go. You see what I mean.

Iast thing slash live streaming products. It's a whole little section. I'm like, dang, this is an entire section of this major retail store.

Now, whereas while yeah, twenty years ago though, it was almost a joke. Yeah you know what, are you a podcaster? Okay, whatever, dude, that's going to go nowhere? You know, what are you going to do? Give it that away for free? Now? Granted, get everybody made podcasters.

They were all losers that Howard Stern trashed him like he trashes everything and all that sort of stuff.

Well, just like the Internet, what is it good for bloggers? So what you know? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, anyway, And there was a time in which even I uttered the words, what the Internet that's the thing for like nerds? Yeah, granted it was like nineteen ninety five when I said it, but in ninety six, ninety seven. I went, wait a minute, this might be interesting, and I started getting in and that is totally like, it is not recognizable to what we have today.

I'm just saying, there's multiple Yeah, nobody, no, when you think of it in that sense, nobody really sees what's coming next. Even though we really had ought to be able to to see and understand what the next iterations of things are, we're not.

We know that they're coming, right.

I think I have a fairly good sense for what's happening, at least compared to the average person. But even even I admit I can't predict everything that will change.

But you know, it's like, at one time, this is hard to imagine, but at one time, people paid about ten to fifteen dollars for about a forty five minute long piece of vinyl that they called an album. And you could get a comedy album this way, spoken word, or you could get music. But they were only like forty five minutes long. Most of these things.

Oh yeah, forty forty five right, No, no, no, forty five. We talked about forty five RPMs.

Is a forty five, and that's a forty five. That's RPM. That's revolutions per minuted or whatever. But you know, that's not the same thing. I'm talking about. Forty five minutes was like the take a look at an old ACDC album. It's how long is it? Forty four minutes, forty five minutes, you know, fifty minutes maybe, and that's it. And that was the whole thing. Some of them were only thirty something minutes, right, Even though led Zeppelin or you know,

It almost sounds like an academic project potentially.

But a great one. You could break into different parts. I mean, you could put out a video on it, you could do podcasts on it, you could do another book, and each one of these things could have unique elements in it, and I would love to see I don't know, guys, tell Aaron what you think. I mean, give him some feedback here. I think it would be fascinating to see Aaron Franz explain not just one age of transitions as new Gingrich was looking at it because he's only focused

Well, yeah, it's crazy that that Gingrich was talking about one sort of really political aspect of age of transitions, but he himself exemplified this weird media and yes, even this conspiracy world age of transitions concept in himself, in his own identity as a public figure, he almost exemplifies it in a very bizarre way.

Yeah, he would never imagine that, but he does absolutely if you really look at the nuances of it and you peel back that entire onion of Nu Gingrich. Absolutely, if you take a look at the conspiracy track that bolstered his rise, because he had a rise to power that comes from basically a right wing talk radio which.

Again, okay, I guess I hadn't fully realized that, but that kind of brings it full circle.

Full circle. Look, it brings you back to this with that fringe of talk radio. AM radio effectively was dead right, and people are like, talk radio is garbage, it's no good anymore. Nobody wants it. And that's why a guy like sorry, but here we go, Rush Limbaugh turned around and gave away his show to like one hundred radio stations. I'll give you the freaking show, you know. He gave it to him for nothing. And then what did he do? He said, Oh, I'm now two hundred radio stations strong.

Yeah, and then let's fast forward to the death of Rush limbod just before he was giving the Medal of honor or whatever the hell that thing was by.

President Trump in the Medal of Freedom.

That was like the culmination of his life's work, which he visibly was ecstatic about and proud of he and I think he took note and consciously was aware that this is a culmination of my life's work. I'm being recognized by the highest figure within this and look, I have.

Achieved my goal. It really felt like that happened. And his literal character arc, okay, through the story of the political world, is in and of itself an age of transition, because he goes from being this guy giving away his show basically being just another goofball right wing jerky radio guy. And there were a bunch of them, but they weren't that successful. They usually were successful in one city at

But that also that ties right into the whole thing too, is like, that's that's exactly what the whole movement was exactly, that's exactly the whole point, right, and it worked.

That actually worked. And he goes from they're not conservative enough, they're not matching our values. Think about Trump for a minute. They're not going far enough, they're not matching our values. We are maga. We want to make America great again. These guys are rhinos, so we're the real deal, even though they're the outsiders. So he's doing that. He goes from being a guy criticizing them to then being a

Well, I never really listened to Rustling Bab but I only know of it.

But you okay, Well, he did a homeless update where he would get, you know, do crazy news stories about homeless people.

You know that that ties into what's going on. Now there's the modern iteration to that and the same ecosis.

All of it. But that's my point. It's exactly the same program being rerun. Rush Limbaugh's story is Donald Trump's story. It's the same thing. It's the outsider saying let me in, let me in, you're not doing a good enough job. He gets in there. Now he says, I've taken over. Now I'm going to tell you what the real deal is. And these conspiracy people have done the same crap, and that's why they hijacked every one of these truth movements. They're all gone right, yep.

They've been mainstreamed in a bizarre way, and you take same is now fringe, but the fringe is now very much mainstream, right.

Tucker Carlson, he's one of our guys. Now. He is exactly the guy that any of these fringe people should never ever back in any way, shape or form, because he's the establishment. He's one of these guys who goes, I'm part of the establishment, but not really. I'm actually you know, Fox News used to say we're not part of the mainstream media, even though they were becoming part

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's another weird And.

Never forget Tucker Carlson was on MSNBC, he was on every channel. He didn't matter wherever you're gonna give me a platform, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna run with it. And that's the thing. So anyway, look, it's now twenty two after uncle is probably losing his mind waiting to get on the mic. That's fine, that's fine.

He's got issues where it'll be good to cut the show a little short anyway.

So that's what we'll do.

Well, we can do a w yeah, yeah, we'll do a longer Age of Transitions and a shorter Uncle. That's actually kind of perfect. Okay, but yeah, we can switch over now, I believe.

Okay, so let's do that. We'll go to a break. But I say, guys, tell Aaron, look, if you're really annoyed that I hijacked the Age of Transitions, I'm sorry, but I think Aaron would be the guy to knock this out of the park, to show us. Look, now, I got an addendum to the Age of Transitions. It's not one age of transitions. It's many ages, and it's many transitions. And yet, just like history, they may not

And heard many different iterations if it was fake. Yes, I've heard all about those.

Yes. And here's the thing. Nobody will cut, nobody will touch my theory on this by the way, everybody hates it. You know, my theory is right. What's the quick version of that? The quick version of it is very simple. This jerky kid was basically a school shooter waiting to happen, and since school wasn't in session in the Northeast at the time, because July, you know this, in the Northeast, they don't have school, you know, in July, in August, even in July they might have school in the South,

It's it's it's it's it's someone, it's it's Okham's razor.

You're Akham's razor, exactly exactly. So with that, I'll shut up now and you can do your thing, and we can get onto Uncle for a half hour so which I'm looking forward to. But hey, we'll do a half hour Uncle, or who knows, maybe we'll run a little long whatever, you guys feel like. I'm here.

We'll see how We'll see how it goes, We'll see how Uncle's teeth hold up, We'll see if we have callers.

We'll see all that. But but with that, I hope I hope you're not upset that I hijacked some of your time. I hope your listeners aren't too angry at me.

Sounds good, Let's do that, Chuck. Thank you for the kind words, and thank you as always for producing. It's always a pleasure of being here live on Friday nights the Chili Radio Network and seeing as how we are, the listeners know what's next. It's Uncle the podcast coming right up, so we will get to that. But I will just mention again the Age of Transitions dot com my website. My name is Aaron Franz. As always, I will.

He's never even heard that. You at least have heard the guy's voice you're telling me Uncle. Okay, by the way, I posted in the chat room just so you know, and I know Uncle always wants to know this. And we got to get to the phone calls because this may be

Didn't getting the people listening to me in Denmark, Uncle.

And that's the weird thing is that we got nobody listening in Canada.

So you know, hey, that's good place in Canada.

Yeah, but you know, you got some buddies up in Canada, and nobody's listening in Canada tonight. They're not, you know, they'll they'll have to get the podcast later. But we got nobody listening in Canada. We got nobody in the UK. And those are usual stops for the Uncle Show. So for some reason, these guys are taking the night off. We got people all over the United States that for some reason, my ID thing is now taken away, letting me know exactly what state they're in for the most part,

I've got this weird Instagram I'm live feed going to, which I have not done yet before shock, so that might be having some kind of effect here.

It's all it is, is just they can't even hear you talking on the Instagram check. That's weird. They're just they're just getting us in the room. So that's something different, you know. Oh and one more just jumped on international. I love this by the way in Corleone, Sicily. Okay, well Giorno too. Corleone Sicily could be could be an o'celli from over there. There is a handful of living Ocelli's in Sicily. Uh, there's an even smaller handful of living Ocelli's in America.

But you might be getting jealous yet, you might be getting jealous because if they're coming over.

To my show, Oh no, no, no, I did hey, look uncle I did a thing on the MOB one night that I advertised in advance, and it was wild. I had a whole gaggle of people from Italy came on that night. It was like all of a sudden, all over Italy, and I'm telling you they were coming from I could see it. It was like Rome and Sicily, and then there was people in Switzerland. I'm like, oh, you're just outside of Italy. I never get people listening

Anyway, I knew all of that.

This is Zeddi.

Baseball, right.

I would none to take care of you guys, know about it, the mess the Mets are playing the Dodgers.

He's going to take care of you.

Flying taking if you go down to the down to the freeway, you could probably wave at the Padres bus on the way back to their little border town. They're front.

You know something by Padres right now, I'll still by bye, wooterzone board you on water, zone board waters.

Water in the Pacific Ocean.

Even I'm saying this, saying that.

In your talking you you I wouldn't.

Worry about it because uh still by Bye, I still believe your studies ain't that good against this ment.

They're not gonna be that good. I'm telling you work about him. You're they're gonna have a big pulblem you that before.

The last two games. Man, So I might be changing my mind about maybe the pitching's coming around just in time for the Mets.

Yeah, something something happened. Something worked out, that's for sure. I saw the beginning game tonight.

What happened. What happened?

Is they.

The fourth game they finally woke up. Let's put it that way. I realize the series. But you don't sitting on your luck and choose but but but but he's butts it. You gotta then we gotta then? Probably good?

Right now?

The hot No, the Mets are hot.

I know.

I'm not sure that the Mets would have been my choice to go up against because they're hot right now, I would.

Be I would be having in them to go up against him.

Oh you saw this?

Kind to me, uncle, because right now we me and Chuck good at them.

Well, wait a minute, I thought you saw. I thought you saw the Podrais Mets coming.

No, no, no, Uncle, you've been seeing you. I'm telling you this. Oh boy, Chut knows it and I know it. What is Chuck? No, I I had to step away.

Chaos, No chaos, I'm talking to Eddy.

Okay, I missed a whole lot of the content. Uncle, Just let you know. I don't know what happened. I don't know what was happening in the past couple of minutes. I had to step away because not only is there chaos on the phone lines, but I chaos in my house, and I got chaos with my dog, and there's all kinds of weird stuff. So but now I got it settled and go back to Uncle Chaos. Okay, Uncle Chaos. That should be your new show, Uncle kaos the podcast.

Oh yeah, maybe that could be Transition Transition.

Mann with Uncle Man.

I'm saying.

I'm saying this Uncle Chaos with the Transition Man. What do you have to signing?

It's it's coming close? Se Mets and the Yankees on the Siege series. Under Siege series. Okay, got down again, going on this subway come to series. I'm nothing to tell the.

Subway you're predicting the Mets Yankees World series? Is that where let's mark it down here. Uncle's predicting the Mets Yankees World series, a subway series of Chuck's talking about last week.

Yeah, thats what we were talking to, which teams and love and I'm still.

Pulling for the Coast to Coaster man, We're going to have a Coast to Coast playoff series here. But then you know, the Yankees if they got to go back and forth with the Mets.

The Dodgers are trying to take back they're looking at it may even be sweet the Dodgers Eddie, the Dodgers. The Dodgers are trying to take back their blue Eddie because they got the pitching. They got the pitching Dodgers, Dodgers.

Dodgers just got slight.

They don't have it to do it.

Dodgers don't have the good pitching.

Yeah, maybe the pitching is coming around now, you know, some of those guys were coming off. Maybe they're getting their mojo back and we're ready to take on the Yankees or whoever else.

This this is a shock. If they're doing up, well, this is a shock. If they're doing up, it's a shock because look.

Hey, I don't know, I don't know. When the Dodger pitching is thrown two games in a row, eighteen innings plus whatever before the they might have had before the other game, shutout innings, that's like, yeah, that's unheard of. Seriously, recent time.

One of those pictures, there was two they were good the last week.

The last well, there was it Thursday, Friday, Wednesday. It was when they played it.

Before yesterday. Some of them that were good because.

They had one and the bullpriend gang and yeah, the one and the one and the one and the one tonight and the one tonight.

So yeah, up at the bullpen stowed up.

Man, they need them all work.

But now they realized, Uh, I gotta play though, we gotta play those Mets.

Oh, that could a big problem. That could be a problem problem.

He might have been a bigger problem than the Mets. I don't know the Padres. Padres are no slumpers.

Man.

The Padres had a really good team this year.

Still, I'll still a by Padres shot.

Not an easy thing.

Oh.

No, Tigers, Tiger, Tiger, How the tiger is coming along?

Tiger?

Let me, how did Tiger's coming along?

Jimmy, you're asking about the Tigers.

Yeah, I think the Tigers are in, aren't they know?

The Tigers are still wild.

But they got they'd be bread and then they will be I got it.

I thought they gotta play tomorrow. They're playing tomorrow. You know what they're playing tomorrow?

Tomorrow, that's what they have that game. Yeah, the Yankees opponent is still to be announced. It looks like right still to be determined.

Yankee.

The Yankees are in.

The Yankees are in.

Yeah, but their opponent is to is to be announced. Looks like to be determined, right, let me see one, two, three, Yeah, it looks like, uh, they haven't determined them yet, right.

Tigers? Are the Indians or Guardians?

Yeah?

Yeah, Tigers Guardians tie two to two?

Picture and his relief picture that look they're both pitching at eight hundred and what your guys is doing.

So what you're telling me is, how is your.

Piy staff, Jimmy, how is your pitching staff?

Detroit?

I haven't really been watching them. I just told you they're doing very good.

Oh that was them that.

Average.

That's why I was wondering, what kind of how's your pictures?

Yeah, they're they're tied to too with the Guardians, but it looks to me like they've kept it pretty low scoring so far. Uh you know, let's see they got zero Okay, in the first game against the Guardians, they gave up no runs. Uh in uh, let's see in the next game, what did they do well, let's see, well, wait one one, let me go back a little because in the first game it was different. Okay, in the first game they gave up a lot of runs. Seven all right, that's my mistake there. In the first game

Down for three hits, they hits is what you're looking at.

No, I'm looking at runs. I don't know about that.

And and the ones, the ones and the hits put together. I should have said, well.

Usually look to the logic in baseball is obviously, if you can string together enough hits, you get run.

Yeah, real hit and runs.

I mean if they if they row them down and do not hit me stuff, that means they slow them down.

Yeah, And it looks to me like, uh, you know when the one guy okay, the one guy who pitched four innings gave up four hits. Uh that's Trevor Biby in the one pitching match. I mean, let's see it. It doesn't look too bad. It looks like they're keeping it pretty tight all the way around the Tigers, except for that one game. They kind of lost control there.

You know.

Interesting, Leman still might we still ain't see it in tons.

I mean those Tigers, we could be.

All lost up. They can make it all have the ability to do that.

He'll see the bracket in front of No offense to Jimmy, but I don't see the Tigers getting through this.

To be honest with you, I think the Yankees might held him up. No, I think the Yankees will beat him up if they can survive this series, which they should be able to against uh uh, you know against the Guardians. They should be able to beat Cleveland. But I think the Yankees will hand them their head. I really do look out.

Yeah, man, big upsets happened.

Oh yeah, it would be great to see. I'm serious. I'm pushing for the Subway series. But when first the Mets have to survive against the Dodgers, which is the Mets playing to try and get back. You know, the Dodgers are trying to beat up the team that stole Dodger Blue from them, you know what I mean, because that was the that's how they came up with the Mets colors.

That is it happened.

That's what you was talking about that last time. Yeah, they took the Dodger blue, and they took the orange from the from the Giants, and they even took their n y exactly their style of n y. It's the same one that the that the Giants had. So they took Dodger blue and the Giants orange and y and there you go. That was the Mets colors. So the.

Giants fans to go over there, but the Dodgers fans that hell no man.

Yeah, well they might have caught you know, okay my color, but no, no good.

So what were you saying, Jimmy's.

No yeah, sum Sammy.

Wait a minute, boy, he played with the Cubs.

He's got he's got an odd look these days. He's it was it was Cuddy. Steroids will do that to you. Look at the size of Barry Bond's head.

You know, Hey, I got a question. Here's a baseball. This is something I want to know. How did Big Poppy get a pass on on the roids. Man, everybody gets gets uh, you know, dirt thrown on him for a big Poppy just slid right through man like a you know, grease rail man.

I was looking at Sosa's uh, and he's.

Known to be he was known to be a juicer. Even I've talked to Boston fans at the Mariners Ballpark and they tell me he goes through side because you know, when he's juicing and when he's when he's laying off.

Yeah, they do know, have told me that. Yeah, but they don't care. They don't care. Look as long as we as long as we can beat the Yankees and the ghost of Babe Ruth, we don't give a crap. That's really what that's about.

Yeah.

Yeah, but didn't Big Poppy go right into the Hall of Fame?

Yeah, no problems. Now here's what's funny about Sammy Shosa.

What you got I don't know?

You know is I don't know. That's a weirduse. That is a big weird question.

Question I got about the whole thing.

Maybe he's got, you know, pictures of somebody I don't know, but something he's got, that's for sure. I'll tell you what's funny about Sammy Sosas. You said, he's a Cub, and that's when he was at the height of his career. Uncle, is when he was a Chicago Cub. But you know he was also, yeah, but he was before that, he was a Chicago White Sox. And then after the Cubs, when the Cubs cut him loose, you know, when he had to stop juicing and he stopped hitting home runs,

Did, I know what talking about? Now said, so I don't know him.

Yeah, you know him. There was another home I heard you think. Yeah, they went for the Cubs for a while. That it was from ninety two, from ninety two to two thousand and.

Forty, you know, guire were racing for home run records.

Man, right, yeah, well that was the thing. McGuire was the first one to break out, right, and he was, uh, well he started with the open A's but then where did he go? McGuire's He went to the he was, he was a cardinal. He was in Oaklan A. Then he was a cardinal.

He was a cardinal.

I know, yeah, right, you know, he was a cardinal for a while, and he was also an Oakland a. That's where he got his That's where he got the big contract. Is when he was with the Oakland A's and he was on that team with Conseco and all that, right and the bash brothers. Banilla, the big bust Banita. Yeah, well, the Mets brought him and he went right in the toilet. So the the Mets just finished paying off his contract, like last year, that guy Banilla. They had to defer series.

How long was he there for?

What with the Mets. He did two stints with the Mets, but one of them was like in ninety two or ninety one somewhere in there. That's when he signed the massive contract. It was the largest contract in like all baseball history. But let me see when maguire was with which team and then I'll check Benie out, but I know that.

Yeah, he did with St. Louis when he hit the most.

Yeah, that's when he's Lewis heard him.

But he got his fame. He rose to fame initially with the A's and they were realized he was a power hitter then. But then when he came back to when he went to uh, you know, when he went to Saint Louis, then all of a sudden, his arms, which were kind of big to begin with, they got freakish. They started calling him Popeye right because of the big freaking forearms. And if you remember MacGuire talking about, yeah,

I would know if.

Code number the doctor a little while too.

Yeah, I'm just talking about his player days. You know he's playing days. He they say something about him being with the padres, right, but what teams were?

So I didn't know that.

Yeah, I didn't know that. Yeah, I can't remember. They move around so much.

It's mississid kick.

So she what you know?

Maybe she may because she I could have been during the era she was watching the game.

Since she's living there, she may know.

You may know the good question. May ask her that because I didn't know that.

Thanks so much, playoff actions so much. You talk about uncle. You're talking a lot more than we thought you might. Huh.

Yeah, it's because I'm leaning over to the nice side. The tooth is it's on this side, but I'm leaning my tongue over.

Yes, so people know issue with his teeth in the air. There's a different set of teeth than usual. But so we're working through it, but looking power through.

I'm walking through it because I know I'm talking now not touching.

The Probably use a drink, man, I'm thinking you could use a drink.

Well, I don't know if that would help him or heard him with his uh talk.

We have out of it, man, do we do?

We live in person Joint two? We can let's you know what I need them.

We need to add the mini fridge in this room, so I could just grab something. Yeah, I'd have to track to the downstairs and.

Do that. I mean I could, I could.

I just.

Yes, I'm just looking at all the different chords on the floor Instagram. Instagram viewers will get to see all cords. Aren't those beautiful? All the chords on Instagram.

We got all of those cords, and not one of those cords is going to the mini fridge.

Yeah, exactly.

Contained that's problem.

That's what the fridge could be. That would definitely have to get one. You got an open slot for the mini fridge. Huh yeah, we're all ready to go and see him here.

I assume here it's meant to only use it, Well, we only use it on foot so we can put the drinks in it. You don't have to up and down the stairs.

Yeah exactly, I know. I know that's hard.

To take a boat just to get the get drink.

I know, I know.

I mean, so let us think about that.

On here, think about it we will. I feel like, where are we at, Chuck? Is this the end of the show?

Well, where we passed that?

We don't know what we do?

We're past that already.

Who knows about the line.

Anymore. People on the line start talking.

Yeah, no, they're they're on there, they're open. So whatever they want, let's go.

Let's go.

People keep calling, keep calling.

Come on man, Oh right, you can call in anonymous right now.

There you go. Creative accidents could show up.

Who did man?

Who's the bent before he broke that record?

Oh McGuire? Who are we asking about? McGuire?

Bonds has a record? He had seventy three.

One Yeah, yeah it was buns. Yeah yeah, it was buns.

Seventy three home runs.

Oh you know what McGuire was. Also, McGuire was also part of one of the Olympic teams, by the way, Oh he was. And according to his Wikipedia, which is the only place I found this put together properly. Uh, he only played for two teams, the Oakland A's and the Saint Was Cardinals. Now he became a coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers's and the San Diego Padres. As I said, I knew he was somewhere in the Padre uniform,

That tells you if we forget about the Royds, he was respected as a guy that knew about hitting well.

Right, and remember this, I told you he started to hit insanely well in ninety seven right, So he made the All start. He made twelve All Star appearances, and from eighty seven to ninety two he's in there. That's way before steroids. And then he got back in in ninety five and continued on to the year two thousand, So from ninety five to two thousand he's on the All Star team, and from eighty seven, which is really his first full year, to ninety two he's on the

He was respected in the game beyond the Royds as a guy who knew hitting or they're not going to hire him as a hitting coache right, and they His.

First World Series appearance was in eighty nine. If you remember that, that was the Great Earthquake game. Oh, yes, really the Freeway ses he there?

Eight?

Yeah, the Freeway series between between the A's and what was the A's and the Dodgers, right in eighty nine?

Right, No, No, that was the Giants in the A's the Dodgers. He was in the eighty eight series with the Dodgers.

No, he well, he wasn't in that way, Well thought the Giants was in that one.

Giants in the Earthquake. The year before he was with the A's when the Dodgers and A's, and the Dodgers beat the A's in eighty eight with McGuire.

And uh, yeah, you're correct about that. They swept the Giants. The Athletics swept the Giants in four games in eighty nine. That's what. That's the series eight nine. That's his first World Series appearance.

So was in eighty eight though, too well with the A's against the Giants, I mean as against the Dodgers.

Well, it doesn't say that here on his page, so I don't know. But let's just check real fast.

Was he was he on the T I swear him and him and him? And what's the other guy? The guy that wrote the tell all book about the Royds? Uh? Roder clemen in the forearms at all?

Roger Clemens.

No, the the A's guy.

Oh man.

She starts with a set, yes, you what you want?

Hey?

Well maybe yeah, yeah, the.

Series.

I don't.

You know what it didn't it did not, yes, guys, just to let you know. It didn't list it on his page. But I went and I checked deeper, and I see Mark maguire gets the Athletics their first victory of the nineteen eighty eight World Series with a walk off home run in game three, so that he was there and he participated in the World Series. That's true, but it wasn't on his page. I swear to you. It's not on his I'll take a screen shot.

That's weird.

Yeah, yeah, it's not their career light.

The Internet it has career highlights.

You can't not always, no, not always. But I'm just telling you. Under career highlights, I'm gonna screenshot it. I'm gonna take a screen grab. Under career Highlights, it shows All Star Game eighty seven to ninety two, right, And the next thing down is says two World Series. It only says for two for nineteen eighty nine and twenty eleven.

It's strange that screwed up.

Yeah, and then he was also the AL Rookie of the Year in eighty seven. He's got one Gold Glove in nineteen ninety. He's got three Silver Slugger Awards ninety two, ninety six. Again, this is before he's voids.

I do remember.

And here's the other Yeah, here's the other funny thing is he's the home run leader too. Yeah, he's the home run leader in eighty seven.

Kind of was semi repentant. You know, he kind of apologized.

Right, Well, here's the thing, and he was using human growth hormone if I remember correctly, which was kind of like a gray area.

Yeah, and that shouldn't even be on the list, man, that's ridiculous, true. But here just helps those guys recover from any game.

Yeah, well, that's the thing is that helps you recover from the injuries. It's not really but then again, so does steroids. See to me, some of these steroids are not exactly cheating. You know, if they use him to recover from an injury, it's not cheating. You know, you keep using it to enhance your performance, there's a problem. But anyway, in eighty seven as a rookie, remember he led the majors in home runs, So he's leading the majors in home runs for the steroids in eighty seven,

Oh yeah, he should.

I never heard of that.

Well, I'm not like approving of the Roid stuff, but those those guys were good ballplayers and they deserve to be in the Hall of Fame and all that.

McGuire would have everything.

Like we said last, yeah.

McGuire still would have been a great a great power hitter and a great hitter in general. You know, he did he cheat. I kind of think, you know, you could say he did, but honestly, you know, he would have been great anyway. It's not like that's the only place.

Uh you know, they would have hit fewer home runs because really, what it does, it gives you. It makes you stronger, you.

Know what I want.

Maybe a little faster too.

But you know what I wonder though, is it Bania if Bonilla going in the toilet is because he was on the Roids at the time. Him and Barry were, you know, on the same team, and of course Barry Bonds was kind of protecting him because you'd rather pitch to him than pitch the bonds. Maybe, you know, so you almost want to walk bonds, but you don't want to walk Bania and bonds, So it might have gotten him juicier chance with.

The bases loaded.

Man. Yeah right, that's true, because you knew you were only going to get hurt for one.

Run at least once with the bases loaded.

Yeah, because you knew you But Bana Bania though, he might have been on the roids and then you know, dropped it when he went to the Mets. Okay, I don't need the roids anymore because I got I can't remember the exact figure, but you know what was the what was Bob when he is contract worth? Anyway, as we roll through this baseball stuff, but we are way over you know, time and whenever Uncle, we've I think we've achieved what we were out to achieve.

The Uncle hit we hit to take that hit when Ed, when Eddie gets on the show, he kills my myself up.

Sure you consider that?

Yes, on talking and Jimmy for a minute, cold Jimmy King and a couple of Winton.

Well, here's a big question. If Ed is the jackpot, what is creative accidents. Oh oh my, the mystery. It's like wearing the lottery. The mystery talker, mystery talkers, mystery.

He's he's the what do they call what do they call those mega mega lottery things?

Man, powerball?

Not too late, man, the lines are still open. See a come on, man.

And go. You can show up right now. And well, on the other hand, I think we're.

Hey, we goodn't have a good conversation, but I honestly do it. Who were going with the baseball? But all of a sudden, yeah it prow didn't mind. It's just but hold don't like to Jimmy.

Okay, well you know he is there.

It is true.

If Jimmy's still there, I don't know. Let me go check the line because I'm not even looking at it because people can just get in. Uh, Jimmy's still there and uh lines lines are still open. Hey, one quick note because I mentioned the whole Bobby Bana thing and why am I aggravated? Well, let me tell you something. Bobby Bonia retired years ago from baseball. Right. Well, here's the thing is, if you read an article on July one of twenty twenty four, it says happy birthday Bobby

Dollars a year.

Okay, on each July first since twenty eleven. So they've been paying more than a million dollars a year for a guy who hasn't played for them in over a decade, because they're still paying off his contract.

Did he deign to la When did he be telling? When did he be saying to tell you?

I don't know. I'm gonna take a look now, because that was my next question is wait a minute, how long has it been? He's not even playing? I know, I know, right a minute. I mean, I know it's been.

Like I used to understand, I sympathize with Chuck because baseball stuff gets under your just gets under your skin. Back when oh, uh, what's his name? He's on the Dodgers now, but he's injured. But he drilled Handley Ramirez in the twenty fourteen playoffs in the ribs and cracked his ribs. Ohs hit or that your first game, first at bat disabled the guy?

Oh I can't, I can't.

Yeah, that's the guy who Kelly Kelly Origin. But Benita is the thorn in Chuck's side in baseball. I know those thorns.

Well, here's the deal, I.

Got plenty of them.

The worst thing, the worst thing about Bobby Banie is this ed he retired. Are you ready for this? Bobby Bania retired from Major League Baseball after the two thousand and one Series season. Yeah, exciting money, So he retired. Understand this. He retired twenty three years ago, and for the past decade, the Mets have been paying him a million dollars a year every year on his birthday.

Okay, yeah, you know, Toni's huge contract, a huge, record breaking you know Tony contract. Most of that is downloaded to the end of his career and after his career.

Well, here's the funny thing about They got.

Those baseball fines for if you're over too big a payroll. Yep, So they deferred a lot of a tiny's money till after he's going to be gone.

Well, there wasn't even a salary cap, you know.

You know what I'm saying. I think Bonia had a thing like that.

Bonia got at the time in nineteen ninety one or whatever, he got the largest baseball contract in history. And here's the funny thing. According to this thing on the first thing that pops up the AI overview, okay on Google says this, you're ready. He will continue to receive payments from the New York Mets until ready twenty thirty five, when he will be seventy when he will be seventy two. Didn't they get into is he's called a pension. Damn if that's not even a pinchick.

You can have more payroll for other players.

This isn't his pension, Aaron, this is the payments. To defer hold on, let me finish the sentence. He will continue to receive payments from the New York Mets until twenty thirty five, when he will be seventy two years old.

So they see what you mean.

That's what's called nice work. If you can get it, is what you call that.

I see what you mean by that.

Now, still what the counter to that is?

Though?

Good about twelve ten, twelve years ago, they offered Clayton Kershaw when he was at his prime. They offered him like a ten year, three hundred and fifty million. That was the biggest thing anybody every man. He said, Man, I yeah, that much per season. I earned that, but I can't guarantee I'm going to pitch at this level for that long. And he said, let's let's shorten that. And now he goes on one year contracts because he's always injured and everything. So there's a guy that had

Well, they're getting some more theys now saying what he said, what edged It depends on how you define.

You know, Bernia. You know, I'm not blaming him. He got that contract. You can make him pay it. You know, even if he sucked, I.

Believe he do.

Well. What was funny is, you know him and Bonds both went out into the market at the same time, and the Mets were trying to get either one, and I remember it, it was like, oh crap, they didn't get Bonds because Bonds wanted to go to San Francisco. He didn't want to go to the Mets. That was the thing.

And when they went to go get Panilla, I heard nobody wanted Bonds. He got black balled.

No his price Well, okay, so Bond's price was pretty high. But the crazy thing is Benia got paid more. And the reason why is because it was like, we want all these guys from the A's and they wanted to like strip the whole thing. Remember it was like we want the Bass brothers and that was all of them, and they wanted all their heavy hitters and they tried. They were all free agents at the same time, and

Oh yeah, yeah, you're dirting that.

Yeah, bon he was. He was finally you didn't know he was finally diminishing. But he was still going to hit you twenty five thirty home runs, yeah, and you know, hit two eighty and who doesn't need a guy like that in their lineup?

Well, and the hilarious thing is is that bonds not bonds. But his contract starts out as only only twenty nine million dollars. And the twenty nine million dollars isn't so bad. You're saying yourself, well, why do I got to pay him over the course of like twenty years. Here's the thing. It also includes ready interest. There's an interest payment added to it. So as that compounds, that's what did it twenty five years? They pay it out over twenty five

Really good off of his interest.

Man, I'll take his interest listen, pay me to do anything for his interest pretty much. Yeah, but it's crazy, really good.

I could retire a long time ago on his interests.

Man. Yeah.

So, so keep it in your mind, uncle, that yeah, but so bad. He had a good agent, man, Yeah, I know he working for it.

He did, he had it was that Scott's banker or something. Yeah, it was that Scott. Remember that guy. He was the biggest agent in the in the nineties. I think it was Boris, Yeah, Boris right.

Yes, Scott. Boris is notorious for getting guys good, you know, getting big money for guys.

Yeah, exactly.

The teams won't even deal with Boris, right.

They don't even want to forget it is that guy then we're we're gonna have to find another way and.

Refused to deal with him. That's why there they never wind.

Okay, un we hit, we hit that hit. The end of the show here, end of the Okay, uncle, one one last thing you remember that, one last thing to remember before we do shout outs. Uncle. Okay, we'll organize the shoutouts and get you out of here. But you know that Atani contracts it's twenty three and a third times the amount that Bonilla was paid in his initial contract. Yeah, and it's all deferred to and it's got all these days.

Yeah, people, Tony can wish he got the series.

He's got one thing coming ahead of him as much.

Hey, uncle, one time, when you when you're feeling better, brother, we got to talk about your animosity toward towards a Tani. It's not his fault. The Angels couldn't be to get a winning team around him.

No, they never did.

They never came.

The point is.

They never could look at look at what the other guys.

To build around Trout and Otani.

He's just sitting there.

Otani's on a team who has a bunch of wealthy, rich guys who love baseball, and they're willing to spend on putting a good team together. Be happy for a time there you go, So Ed good players around him, and he's in the playoffs for the first time.

Exactly, Ed, Ed. Although I love Ed, although I love all this, uncle's calling it so I got to help him usher it out. Go ahead with your shout out and we'll get through you. And Jimmy James is waiting on the line. I want to give him a chance. Go ahead.

My shout out is to Uncle himself because feeling as bad as he does with the dental work and everything, he still came on and let us talk some baseball and everything.

Thank you Uncle, exactly. Uncle still being a trooper. We love hearing from Ed. Ed. You know what's funny is I put in a special identifier on the switchboard, uh, for when Ed calls in, and actually it's it's custom. It actually says Ed the mailing guy. I put that in years ago because Aaron tells me, hey, look you should see these packages, and they's showing me pictures of packages that Ed had sent to Aaron. Remarkable stuff. Ed would put a whole lot of thought and energy into

Because I was you hit something? Yeh, you hit something because I do this call it uh these letters.

Yeah, I'm sorry, transition man. I'm sorry, transition man. Miss. I didn't mean to shut it down.

My shout out is quick to post office boxes and the like providers on them, providers of mail boxes.

Box all of you p O boxes and the people that love them. All right, I'm still getting my shout out, but we should go to Jimmy. Jim Jimmy, Jimmy James, you get to actually speak. Go ahead your shout outs, brother, Yeah.

Shout out to the Dodgers.

I uh misspoke earlier.

Of course you didn't get to Sham and so so you've got Tommy so which is even better.

Okay, all right, the big fat Tommy last.

Yea, that's a hell of a mix up. Jimmy, Jimmy, Oh my god, Jimmy, that is a hell of a mix up between Tommy Lasorda and Sammy Sosa. You would never mix those two guys up in a bar, no matter how drunk you are. I'm just saying, the guy who does the Tom's commercials versus the home run Simon and he talked like that. And you got Tommy Lasorda, who sounds like the l A version of I don't know me. Uh no, Tommy Lasorda. Wow, that's a that's a whole other topic. Getting to Jimmy James is so

Yeah, he's doing the Special Lives.

Oh he did swim fast, swim fast, right, yeah, yeah, I remember it.

So, yeah, he did swim fast for the like to do because like him, because of the I have a feeling, yes, it would. I believe that's what it was because of him. I have a feeling I think it was.

Not.

Now they're thinking about it.

Oh, isn't it strange? Isn't it strange when you see people like you know, they they just go for a product because somebody they like endorses it. In that wild it's like, well that musician drinks that soda, so I'm gonna drink it, or you know, they like that. They like Avion. They had rock stars selling Avion bottles of water when bottled water was like a rare, like high end thing. Right, It's like, go get the Avion. That's the good water. That's the water rock stars drink.

Right, That's that's why they're paid so much to endorse it.

And long before anybody came up with the word influencers, right, there were influenswers out there. It was like, look the guy from Metallica, he he eats the ritos, you know, yeah, you know the guys from Stone Temple Pilots, Love Taco Bell, go for It, Go run for the Border with the guys from Stone Temple Pilots or what I mean. I'm making stuff up here obviously, but it's still funny. Next next weight, what's coming up?

So just for the listeners to know what Uncle's talking about, we're gonna call in other shows that are now copying us. It seems like they suddenly decided to start doing Friday night open mic because they're copying the Ocelli Radio Network. So the Uncle Show is gonna call them. What do you think of that?
