I want to hear these new people. You want to hear the new people? If I can get them on. If you can get them on. Um well, that’s what I’m looking for. I’m going to pull up that’s why I’m doing this. I’m gonna pull up the Tic Tac to see if I get comments there. A nonlogged user joined. All right. So, somebody’s joining in on Tic Tac. So, join us anywhere that you happen to be. Once again, call number 319-5275016. That’s what we really want. We want you to call in to join us. Okay. So, that’s how you do that. And that’s how you wanted to start the show. Is that right, Uncle? Correct.Okay. Okay. Well, we did that. We got that out of the way. Um, you know what? I did want to mention at the start of the show, something that I should have put in the shoutouts last time. We did our beer review of that Voodoo Ranger that was brought to our refrigerator by Becca and Aaron. So, that that was really brought to us. The beer was brought to us by them that they left in the refrigerator. And I didn’t mention that. Really? That was a Oh, it was I didn’t even know. You didn’t know that? You didn’t know that’s how I got there, Uncle? No, no. I didn’t know who it was from. I I actually don’t know who it was from. Which that was their So, they had been staying at our house housesitting while we were away on vacation. I know that. And they had beers that they left for us. They also left us some Modell. So, thank you you two for the beers. That was a neglected shout out. We really should have done that. I was I wasn’t in the right mind space last week. So, apologies there. We shout out to you guys to tell you we appreciate it. Thank you.Never mind. It was about that. I didn’t even know. Yeah, right. That’s that we really missed that one. But um what do we got here? We’ve got all different You know what? There was some different things I want to bring up if I may tonight. Go ahead and bring these things you got on the side. Yeah. I’d like to know what we got. Okay. Yeah, I’ve got a couple in the mailbox. I know what this was. I got a really good piece of mail that was so good. I’m going to mention it. In fact, I’m going to mention the company name because which is something I don’t do. This is not a paid advertisement. We are no way affiliated with this company. We’re not getting paid. None of that. This is just what I’m going to put into the category of something I want to encourage is uh alternatives to going to the big online shopping pages, which we know what those are. There’s the same merchandise sometimes for the same price, sometimes for a little bit more. Often it’s worth paying more, but this one was the same price. the website. It was a music website. So, it’s music gear. It’s Sweetwater is the name of the company. Sweetwater Music. Um, look at this. This is the thing. They sent me a sticker. What did I order? I ordered a Seymour Duncan Hot Rail pickup, which is a pickup made for a Telecaster guitar. I actually have this guitar kit that’s not an actual Telecaster, but a Telecaster style. And I I want to put I have like this whole concept. It’s going to be an interesting build. I’m working on it. I want to put this pickup into it because it’ll fit the sound that I want it to have. Um and it’s an awesome thing. I mean, the product itself rules. They sent me this. They sent me candy. Thank you for buying. Look, they sent me candy just because. And I got like uh somebody actually got a hold of me like, “Hey, I’m the rep if you have any questions.” Yeah. Sweetwater. They’re cool. It’s a good Sweetwater sends you candy. Every time you order a piece of equipment, they send you candy. That’s right. Yeah. Little little piece of candy. Maybe a Tootsie Roll. And uh sweet. What do you call it? Those uh little uh Oh god, what are they called? Little round things. Yeah, they’ve got the little mints like you get at Pizza Hut. The white and and red ones. And they’ve got double bubble bubble gum. Have you bought from them before, Chuck? Have you bought some? Yes, I have. Okay. Yes, I have. You have? What have you gotten? That That’s how I know. I got Tootsie Rolls and I got uh what do they call it? Smarties. Yeah. Yeah. I got Smarties and Tootsie Rolls. When I ordered my stuff, I ordered a board. Yeah. I would have bordered and strings from them. Cool. Base strings and a and a and a mixing board and they uh sent me that. Yes. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. So, you were pleased with the customer experience there too then, Chuck, I gather, right? Oh yeah. Very cool. Plus they, you know, they if they wanted they you’d follow it up. They could help you out find other stuff that goes with your stuff, the whole bit. Yeah. Very good.Yeah. So, I’m just It was so good. I was so impressed that I’m just doing this. Again, it’s not a paid advertisement. It’s just just something that I want to encourage because again, this product was I think the same price as Amazon. I feel way better buying it from here. The customer service is better. Yeah, of course it’s better. Uh, how much more is it the difference in Amazon to buy off of what you just bought? Well, I believe it’s the same price. I’m pretty sure like dead on the same price, I think. Yeah, they’re they’re either the same price or they’re a little lower. And if you have any complaints, if you buy a used something or other, if you have any complaints, they do their best to fix it like right away from what I understand from other people. like you know you’re dissatisfied with the condition of something that you bought used, they will like try and fix it with you right away, give you credit or replace it or whatever fast. Yeah. Yeah. So, I’m going to make a point to keep buying from them. If I need musical equipment, I buy from the local music shop, too, but I’m going to buy from them and and them for all my this sort of music stuff. And I’ll probably get a mixing board, like you said, Chuck, I need one from them. So, that’s cool. I I see what you’re trying to do. trying to build up your keto. Yes. Yep. That’s what it is. That’s just simp. And I would have known exactly what you were talking about. I’m going to I’m going to try and get this guitar done hopefully quick. And I’m I’m going to set as a goal to have it done before the revolution so we can play the uncle music on this new guitar. Would be nice. Oh, you Yeah, I should have it done by then. It’s going to be pretty Well, you got you got a while for that. So you can probably get that done. I hope so. So that’s your aim for your your um that’s my half your resolution. Revolution problem. I call for levolutions. There we go. I like it. So you got to play that. Should be a cool guitar. Hopefully I build it right. But it’s a good kit. It’s got interesting components I’m putting into it. It’s going to have this cool pickup. Don’t buy scratch. Oh, I got to hear this guy how he does this. Oh, you’re talking about the guitar. Yeah, built by scratch. That’s something that’s something interesting. It’s not bu I’m not being a true luier building it up from scratch and all like I I shaped the wood. No, it’s a kit, so it’s it’s really easy. It comes with all the pieces. They already cut the wood and the neck. It all fits perfectly together. I just put it together. I painted stuff like that. I looked at I looked at two kits. I looked at two kits with them. I wanted to buy either the SG kit, which was like Tony Iomi style. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. or the uh the Les Paul kit I looked at. They they had both of them at the time. I don’t know if they still carry them, but they were the lowest price for the build-it-yourself kits that I could find. That was on Sweetwater. Yeah. See, I got the kit through a different uh kit company. I might have to check out Sweetwater if I want another kit, which I presume I probably will because I’m excited about this one. Just depends on how well I can do this. But yes, those are good choices, Chuck. The SG and the Les Paul. Those Yeah, that’s awesome. Right. When I was thinking about buying and then I ended up settling with an epohone that I picked up out of a pawn shop because it was even cheaper, but I thought about building it myself and you know doing less Paul. You got the epohone less Paul? Yeah, that’s what I wound up with. Okay, that’s cool. Does it sound good? It It was not bad at all. Even though it was one of the Chinese-made ones and all that, it actually was pretty damn good. had had a nice warm sound and everything and and gave you that full depth that the old ones did. So, yeah. Cool. Yeah, that’s what it’s all about. Okay, that’s cool, man. All right, that’s But I was very close to buying the kit because it was like that just looks like something I could easily do if I put my mind to it. And they had a good price on it. Now, I don’t know, you know, their prices come and go because they change with things and whatever, but they also have an everchanging inventory of used stuff over there, too. So, you know, you always got to consider them. They’re they’re they’re just one of I’m not paid anything by them either, but they’ve just always been really good to me about buying some hardware. So, you know, I buy my wires and my cables from Amazon, but my hardware for music. I would definitely suggest Sweet Water if you’re doing a mail order. Yeah. Yeah. They’re awesome. I I was I was blown away by how good it it was. It really was. So, I’m going to encourage that. and and anytime that I it just deserves to be encouraged something that good. So, I’ll say that we do have a lively chat. Uh we have creative accidents being the whole of it. But he’s saying a lot. He’s saying, “Hello, friends. Uncle still cannot believe the biggest recount on last week’s show from 10 to three.” He’s talking about your beer review change of heart. He says, “Uh, I didn’t know I didn’t realize it was from them either. I was looking.” Yeah. Yeah. There’s a lot about that beer we didn’t know. Huh. the Ochelli chat. The Ochelli chat is currently disabled, by the way. So, go one of the others. Yeah, it’s still disabled because I put in new code and it still doesn’t work. So, I’m going to scrap the old chat room and I’m going to create a brand new one and try and uh uh plug in a new chat room at the website because it’s not working at all and there’s no good answer for it. They can’t debug it and even BP tried to debug it and uh yeah, we can’t seem to fix it. So, we’re going to have to scrap the old Ochelli chat and create a new one. Yeah. Well, that you can do maybe for next week’s or or a couple weeks back. Yeah. Yeah. I miss I miss it already, Chuck. I do like the Ochelli.com chat. I see Aaba has joined us on Tic Tac. Hello, Aabaga. Stick with us. Uh, join the chat over there at Tic Tac. I will see what you’re saying and we’ll respond to you. So, please join there. Or if you’re really bold, you could call in and talk to us. This is the phone number. Great. 319-5275016. If you’re called out on your phone, you will be patched in and talking to us. Yeah. So, do consider that or just join the chat over there at Tic Tac. We’ve got Creative Accidents at the chat on Twitch. He He He doesn’t talk. He does. Mr. Put Mr. Not on the phone. Not on the phone. I’ve been trying to get him, but he won’t do it. He He has to be our number one chatter ever, but not so much on the phone. Yeah. But Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, credit where it’s due, Uncle. is he’s live. He does it he does it the way he does it, but when you want him on the phone, that’s another story. I mean, well, that’s him. I mean, I’m just saying. So, let’s see what he’s saying in the chat. Crave Accent says, “Hey guys, today is Ruckus’ 50th birthday.” Okay, Ruckus. Yeah. Can we acknowledge our friend of the show, Adam Clark? Ruckus, maybe a shout out at the end. Yeah, we we’ll acknowledge him here. Happy birthday, sir. Hope you’re feeling well. Happy birthday. And um to shout out to the emojis of the present, the birthday cake, and the trophy are in order. That’s also in the chat from Creative Accent. So, thank you.Um now, Uncle, we had another segment of the show that we had planned last week if you remember, which do you remember what it was going to be? Um something about a shirt here. Right. I’m looking over here. What’s going on with the shirt? It’s It’s the game. It’s the thing of the week. It’s the thing of the week. I’d like to know what am I looking at. You’re looking at the thing of the week. This is a um pool. Um it’s a pool. It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s a t-shirt. So, what this is is the sidekick t-shirt of the week. Sorry, I need to make a graphic for this. I don’t have a graphic, but what I do have is this amazing shirt, which is for sale at my Etsy page, which is Own Life Clothing. Uh, clothing store. It’s our Etsy clothing store. So, this piece is for sale now. I’m featuring it. What? Okay. What is it? First of all, it’s Luna Luna 87. So, this I know what it is myself. Yeah. Luna Luna was this fine art exhibition that was like this town sort of thing created by several different artists, famous artists, different ones made pieces. They put it together as like this little like town amusement park thing as amusement park but built out of fine art pieces as the rides and it stood for a certain amount of time that was broken down. Then it was put back together. I uh this shirt I believe was from when they put it back together. I think. And uh so this was an actual souvenir shirt from the show. Oh. Uh it’s it’s a fine piece. This you’re not going to find this shirt really probably anywhere other than our shop. You’ll be hardressed to find it. And it’s um the shirt’s been doing really well the past couple weeks. Actually, everybody’s been favoring it, favoriting it, uncle on Etsy. How much you asking or uh You know what? I for that personal one, I should say. Uh you I do not recall the price. I could look it up. Let me pull up my Etsy page and I will let you know the answer to that right now. It’s not cheap because once again, this is one of our sort of higherend shirts. We do have cheaper ones, but this is a nicer one. Um let me scroll through. Anyway, Luna Luna Art Exhibit. Uh it for the longest time. Okay, it’s $90. It’s $90. $90. So again, not cheap, but it’s in three people’s carts on Etsy right now. So it could sell at any given time. Like I said, $90. So my buddy’s own interest for $90. That’s very uh high expense there. That’s pretty good. It’s been a hot item the past couple weeks for I don’t know why. Maybe Luna Luna is back in the news again. I don’t know, but it’s been hot lately. So I I expect it to probably sell soon. So that’s why I’m featuring it. say about I give it a 10day Olympic span. Yeah. If somebody calls for it, it must been a rich man. Or which person? I mean, that’s what my thinking would be. It’s It’s not the cheapest t-shirt in the world, but for the right person who wants it, I mean, it’s not an it’s not a ridiculous price. As I said, you’re not going to find this thing anywhere. That’s that’s the appeal of a lot of the items we have. And and once again, not all of our shirts are $90. This is on the higher end of our inventory. Most of our stuff’s like 30 or 40 bucks um terms of t-shirts. But this one is special, so I price it as such. And like you said, I give it about 10 days. It’ll probably be sold. So 10 days. Give it 10 days to know at least somebody will bite it have a bite to a price. I mean, you know, it’s never they’ll ask you. Yeah. You know how they ask in the in the things. Oh, I do. Bog up, bargain down, but you have to stay with that price. I do. Yes. I mean, won’t budge. I’m sorry. I mean, that’s the thing. It’s not like a free market where you can bargain. Actually, you you are able to negotiate the prices on on our items. And sometimes I accept offers that are like for less. Sometimes I’ll accept it. But on this one, I’m not going to because I know what I have. Okay, that that uh that’s a phrase online that’s been popular lately and it’s it’s true in this instance. It’s it’s a special piece, so I don’t want to just give it away. Um so that’s the sidekick shirt of the week. I’ll make better graphics next time. The Etsy shop is Own Life Clothing. Own like OWN, like my own life. That’s a Orwellian newspak term. Originally, I wanted to name the the shop Double Plus Goods, but somebody already had that, so it became own life clothing. Well, so there you go.But anyway, whenever and whenever we get going, like I said, with these cards and get your son on this price list and get it organized. Yeah. And see what I do with the cards. And like I said, you can bring it over to the cards if you want to. Yeah. Yeah. We’ll feature cards for sale. Yeah. On it because I’ll put it together with You could do that, too. Yeah. So many options. Put it all together. See, it’d be better than having it separated. You know what I mean? Creative Accents is saying, “This is better than QVC.” Uh, straight out of Westchester, Pennsylvania. QVC. Yeah. Better than QVC. QVC. the home shopping QVC. You know, QVC, what we were doing was like the same as a QVC show. Oh, so we’re going to knock them out of business. I’m next. You’re going down. We already We already took out dollar store. They’re next on our list. Uncle, that’s a shock. That That’s because he ruined his shirts. That’s some high praise right there. QVC. Uh Creative Accents is also saying we need this can recycling report. Camwling. Yeah. What’s going on with can recycling these days, Uncle? Can we? The can. Can can recycling? Aluminum cans. What’s happening? It’s slowing. It’s a little slow right now. Um, what I do with it is I get average of two containers full. Try to get three, but two is average what I’ll take plus the plastics. But I, like I say, I throw the glass out to the recycle containers. I don’t fool with the glass, but the other two I take and I’ll bring them up to the recycle containers. Cool. So, that’s what’s been going on lately with all of your can recycling. Yeah, there you go. So, there’s the upto-date recycling report. Always recycling. You can guarantee that that we always have that going on at any given time. Acts, I got three garbage ps. Oh, whatever gets full, like I said, and I get them and I take them, but they have to be completely full. Creative Accidents wants to know all about every side hustle that we have going on here, which is a lot. We got a lot going on in here. Oh my gosh. We can’t even get to the cards anymore daytime. So, so much the cards the card man they try to be on the auction. I couldn’t I can’t even get on the auction yet. We can’t auction anything off. Huh? Well, because busy. Yeah, it has been busy. That’s for sure. So, I mean, whenever we have a little bit of time, we’re doing stuff like this. Posting t-shirts for sale and whatnot. We’re not on whatnot as much as we should be. We I have that whatnot [snorts] account. I want to start selling clothes on there, too. I think that could work out pretty good. So, haven’t really kicked that into gear. The Etsy is the main thing now. I I’m going to get a um what’s that one called? Debop. We a debop page, too, because it would be good to have both debop. And maybe eventually whatot. I’d like to do this full-time. I don’t I feel like maybe I could, but I it needs to be justified. So, I’m not going to jump into anything that crazy right now. It’s will remain the side hustle and that’s what it that’s what it it’s doing pretty good. It’s doing pretty good. So, I’m I’m happy about it. So, anyways, I mean, man, man, that shirt section the shirts Yeah, the shirts they’re doing okay. They’re doing all right. And I I just imagine if I spent a lot of time doing it, it would it would do pretty good. That’s like this is my side job. That job you talking about the shoots or is your side job? You know, you got side job besides your work. Sidekick’s got a side job. Yeah. No, that’s why that’s why you have these things. Sure is. And so yeah, so join us. Um, I’m going to check out the streams, see what kind of numbers I see on them. It’s not huge numbers tonight. Don’t have a ton of people. We have creative accents in the chat. I don’t see if anybody does pop in at Tic Tac. Let me pull up Tic Tac again. Um, you’re letting them use I don’t see that anybody is in the tic tac. Uh, but if you do start chatting there and I will see it. I will be able to see it and I’ll talk to you. We’ve got Creative Accents there. We’re on Rumble. We’re on YouTube. We’re on Twitch. were on the one that liked the uh Tic Tac. One of our customers and one of them did. Well, we’ve been posting a ton of Tic Tacs as of late. Uh we’ve been posting every day is a new Tic Tac. Mostly the European vacation videos keep going up every day now. Well, we got those are they all done? Uh the vacation. We still have more.

I’m excited. The people respond to the videos pretty well. Hey, pretty soon. Keep getting more followers. Pretty soon we’ll be able to make money on that. Uhuh. Oh man, I’m saying but but we’re up to that point. We could if we wanted to. Well, another side hustle, isn’t it? Yeah, there’s possibilities. There’s little things Tic Tac has where it’s like here, join this campaign, you can win money. Join this. I’ve joined a couple to see if I can get anywhere that so far. No, but uh we’ll see. We’ll see how things go. We’ll just keep building the thing up. Lots of good content. Gonna have a new video every day. So, do subscribe to that, everybody. If you’re on the show or listening to the show now, do call 319-527-5016. We need you. We want to hear from you. Uh last I vet to know callers are not even calling. They’re not here tonight. No, that’s surprising. Yeah, I um I mean usually at least a few come. We had a really good lively show both with calls and in chat last week. It went really well. So I was kind of hoping off the heels of that it’ be similar. It hasn’t been yet, but watch everybody flood in at the end of the show. Maybe is what could happen. If I extend this any longer, people be falling asleep on the phone. I mean, I can’t do it for Chuck, though. Can’t Chuck be exhausted. He’s already being there’s enough of me doing the evolution. That’s plenty enough. I can’t have him. So what you’re saying is you don’t want to do one of these super long like 4 hour threeh hour podcasts that some people do. You want to keep it short as we do with one hour. You don’t want to go any longer than that. Yeah. No, because of him. I mean I needn’t be ready to do these things. There’s there’s no need to Yeah. No. You know what I mean? If this were our full-time job, if we’re bringing in like serious income, then yeah. Okay. Maybe we do 3 hours every 3 hours. I would do it maybe manically if it was money and a lot you just said we had the big sponsors or big sponsors one way or another then yeah we’d be doing that but we’re not and we don’t and it’s fine one hour a week is pretty good I’d say uh creative accents is asking did you send Chuck his shirt sidekick what shirt that’s I’m trying to remember what shirt was I oh Chuck was wanting some of the Oh, yeah. Yeah, cuz his uncle shirt died. Oh, yes. Yes. So, no, I have not. I need to I need to send those out. I need to send the Age of Transition stickers out. All that mail I haven’t done yet. So, it’s on my pile of needing to send out. So, I I will I got to send Chuck a lot of stuff. And when are you going to do my shirt of yours? Yeah. You got a few things you said you were going to send me, so I’m just waiting. Yeah, I’ll just put them all together, you know. So, I’ve I’ve got a few things. What I don’t have anymore, and I don’t really order them at all anymore, is the Revolve book. I just don’t I just have relegated that to print on demand. And I don’t It used to be that at any given time, I’d have my own supply of paperback copies and I would like send them. I I haven’t really needed to do that. Maybe I should change that. Maybe I should get the stack of like 10 or 20 or so like I used to do there. There used to be that the publisher would give me a discount every now and then and then I’d jump on it and order a bunch and then that’d be my supply for a while. I just Yeah, that’s a good idea. You do? I mean, I don’t know why you actually stopped it, honestly. Truth. Yeah, it just feels like I just haven’t. I There’s no good reason. I just haven’t in a long time. I told you my last copy of your book got stolen, right? Yeah. That’s cool. Got stolen? What’s so cool about it? Oh, we we’ve I I think it’s cool that somebody actually stole the book. That means that they liked it for some reason. I It blows my mind that they would want to steal it, quite honestly. You don’t steal something unless you think it’s of value, you see. So, obviously, somebody thought it was valuable enough to steal. Oh, well, I feel good about that. I hope he’s reading it, whoever it was. I hope they did read it. Yeah. Yeah. If they just stole it and didn’t do anything with it, that’s not great. Now, we’re getting an interesting chat from YouTube. This time we have Grizzly Productions with two S’s at the end. They’re saying, “Greetings from Albuquerque, New Mexico. My wife knows your uncle.” Okay, now wait a minute. Now, wait a minute. This is interesting. Is this uncle? Do you know anybody in Albuquerque? I’m trying to think. Try to guess who this might be. Who do you know in New Mexico? He know. She knows me. Yeah. I don’t know who that is. Uh, you all got me you got me on puzzle tonight. This is this is a puzzle to me now. Let us know, Grizzly Productions, who you might be. You don’t have to say exactly who you are, but give us more clues as to what the heck you’re talking about. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, I’m a little off myself. We’re glad to hear from you. I’m glad to hear from you, though. Uh, creative accents is saying, “Hey, Grizzly. uh like the Bible which is most stolen book in the world. Oh, revolve is revolve is trying to compete with the Bible and getting stolen a lot. [laughter] Got a long way to go but you know it’s a start long Bible let me tell you not going to catch up to that but it’s you know following in the footsteps why not I’ll take it. That’s Following the footsteps is fine. Yeah. Yeah. Why not? Good. So interesting. Oh, here’s Grizzly. Grizzly is saying, “Wife used to work with uncle at the university.” Oh, in cha at Chapman University. So this this is Wait, wait, wait, wait. Now I’m starting to think. So you don’t have to say who it was. It was a woman that worked with you when you were at Chapman University, I guess. Is this Yes. Yes. Now I remember. That’s the spouse of Grizzly Productions. That’s cool. Oh, that’s right. I gave a few That’s right. Did I gave a few cards out when I had them? There we go. To the people and I told them they can go ahead and call me up or listen to my show.

I’m not sure who you are at Tic Tac, but jump in the chat and I’ll see what you say. I’d love to hear it. Um, everyone tic tac. We’ve got chat coming in from YouTube, Grizzly Productions, chat coming in from Twitch, creative accidents. Uh, let’s see. They said something else. Uh, how many cards you passed out in Europe? And did you put an uncle sticker somewhere on the love boat? Well, what we had What’ we do, Uncle? Oh, we put him on No, we know what he did. Put him on a post. He put him on a post. say we just put it on a post here says what it says and the people would go by and read it. Yeah. Somebody that’s how they find it. Some guy did that and that was great. So that was like you did most of yours. Yeah. Somebody did something and that worked out and uh so I don’t know. No, not really on the love boat. That’s we didn’t really hand out any there. We could have though that that’s another thing. I do have a guy that’s interested in one of my shows, but he wasn’t on that one. He was on the other one. Are you talking about a a person on a cruise with you? It was my It was the guy that was cleaning my room. Oh, yeah. Okay. Well, him. You guys, you guys have a caller. Okay, let’s put it on. Let’s see who it is. And we’re going to pipe this one in, Uncle. Yeah. I want to hit the to my talking. Can’t wait to hear from you, caller. Yeah. Hey, Uncle the Count. How you doing? Mr. Count, [clears throat] what are you up to today? Yeah. Um, uh, today I bought a Venus fly. Venus fly. Oh, a Venus. A conivorous plant is what that is talking about. Yeah, that’s pretty cool. A local farmer was selling them for five bucks and I thought why not? Well, go for that cheap. I would buy anything. Yeah, but I mean anything one but have you ever had one before? Uh puffer? Did you have one before? No, I haven’t. I really haven’t had many plants. I have African violet at work, which I just got two weeks ago. And now I just got this fly trap. Oh, wow. You’re really uh you’re going those carnivorous plants can be a little tricky to grow. That’s for sure. We have a pitcher plant here. Yeah. Yeah, they’re tough. But uh do you have a set of instructions? We we we have a pitcher plant here. I’ve had uh Venus fly traps here and there, but I haven’t been able to keep one alive, honestly. Not in the neighbor this neighborhood. No. Well, certain things will, certain things won’t. And that’s one that won’t. Not easy. But yeah, just see if you can get a good set of instructions somewhere online, and if you put the work into it, it’ll it’ll live for you. I’ll try. I’ll look into it. Yeah. Very cool. Um, yeah, Puffer, it’s great to hear from you, man. It’s It’s been a little while, so it’s good to hear back from you. I know. I’ve been busy. [laughter] Yeah. Hey, man. I started a new job in May and I was just like busy with it. So, okay. Well, we appreciate it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it’s good to see you guys. I know you guys weren’t on for a while either. We took an extended period off. It was actually vacation and that’s what the tic tac videos are now. as we were our amazing European vacation as Europe vacation. What we did was we took the videos figured, hey, if we’re not there, shoot some videos for the Tic Tac to give to show you guys. That’s exactly what we did. Yeah. I gota I got to check it out and catch up on that. I haven’t watched last week’s show either, but I was home tonight and I thought uncle’s probably on. let me check it out. And you are and decided to call in and say hi. That’s awesome, man. Yeah. Is there anything Did you want to just head out? Just stop in and say hi. You want to get going? I mean, I can if I don’t know what else to talk about, but we [laughter] could I can hang out a little bit. A little Yeah, if you listen listen, if you hang out, you can at least uh give a shout out when we get to the end, which is only going to be like 10 or 15 minutes away. So, if would you want to hang hang around for that? I can do that. Sure. Recently, I got an Atari Centipede cabinet. Did you ever play that game, Uncle? The old the old arcade game Centipede. Do you know that game, Uncle? I’ve heard of it. Yes, but I don’t know if I You use the ball to move around instead of a joystick. It’s like a Yeah. No, those were interesting games that had that controller. Yes. I was just going to ask if it has the roller ball or the stick. Yeah. Yeah, the roller ball the original way that it was. You say you got the you got the cabinet, Pepper. You got the old cabinet and everything. I got one of those like three4 scale ones. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. What we got to do is get back to a games. We haven’t been haven’t been doing that either because we’ve been We should do a vintage gaming stream. Yeah, that’s what I was talking about. Those are a lot of fun. I think and they’re more fun to play than I like talking show or video watch party. Yeah. Yeah. Uh Vintage Gaming with Uncle is the uh live streams when we do them. We haven’t done one of them for a long time, but we’ll we’ll have to do it again. Oh, you know what? Uh Pupper, along those same lines, the vintage cabinets, yours is a remade one, which are still awesome, too. like they’re not the authentic antique, but they’re it’s the same game, so it’s awesome. But there’s this place in Menafi here in the Inland Empire that I can’t remember the name of it, but they have a roller rink in the center and then all around it in this huge like warehouse space, it’s loaded with old uh arcade games and pinball games. Like every almost every arcade game you can imagine from like the 80s and 90s and 2000s, they have like one of every cabinet. And certain games like Street Fighter 2, they’ve got like tons of it. Like there are so many iterations of it. They have a cabinet for each one. Sometimes like a double like Oh yeah, they have two cabinets. You know what I mean? Because it’s so popular. That sounds fantastic. What versions of Pac-Man do they have? Oh, they got you know, you know, they at least have Pac-Man and Miss Pac-Man. Well, I mean, for sure Miss Pac-Man because that’s the more common one, but I want to say they probably have original Pac-Man. I don’t remember specifically. I know they have Centipede. They have Rootron. Was it 2040? I love Robotron. It has the same control, right? Is that it? 2064. Is that it? Yeah. I forget the exact Google. The old Google. Yeah. 204, 2040, something like that. But man, that is a classic game right there. 2084. 2084. Okay. Yeah. Awesome game. They have that. I mean, everything. Just imagine an old arcade game. They have it. I was a little bummed that um well I was happy to see that they had the double screen double wide with six controllers X-Men arcade game where you can play six players at once. Oh yeah, that one’s great. Oh, that was one of my favorites. But the bad thing was the cabinet wasn’t working. So I tried to play it but it was shut down. The the other cool thing about this place is you pay an entrance fee and you’re then you’re not pumping quarters in the machines. You just walk up to them and turn them on. And so you play as many as you want for the Yeah. Isn’t that awesome? Is it so cool? Maybe it’s this place. It’s Manfy. Yeah. Go ahead. In Philly, there’s a barcade and they have the X-Men double monitor cabinet and it works. I mean, I haven’t been there in a few years, but like I played it there and it was really it’s a lot of fun. Oh yeah. Yeah, that thing is great. That and like the old Ninja Turtles game is similar with the four players. It’s only one screen, but it’s it’s similar gameplay. You know, Sunset Riders, that one’s good. Cowboys. So, I got two other crazy questions. Do they have the original Star Wars game where you blow up the Death Star? Uh, do they have that? Uh, I you know what? I don’t know because when we were there, we’re there for kind of a short time. What I want to do is I want to go back early like when the place opens up like in the early afternoon or whatever and spend like the day there. I want to spend like hours there playing like a ton of games. We were kind of rushed and I don’t even think I saw everything that they had. They No, they you probably didn’t. They do rushing. Yeah. See two games you never do. Two games that could get me lost there all day is that Star Wars game where you actually fly in and blow up the Death Star. Oh yeah. And also the game Tron. Not Rootron, but Tron like from the movie the original video game. Yeah. With the light cycles where you have to do the light cycles and then you have the other thing with the discs. Like you have to do each one of those things in order to beat each level. The tanks. And the tanks, right? Yeah. That would be the Philly Barcade has Tron and it has the Atari Star Wars. [laughter] Nice. So, I know those. Those are great. Oh, wait. But is it the one where it like talks to you and all that? Like you actually hear Obi-Wan tell you to use the Force when you try to blow up the Death Star. It’s like the Vector graphics. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, that is awesome. You know what? I vaguely They have like the control pad thing. You’re actually flying an X-wing. Yeah. Damn, that’s The only thing that I loved more than that, to be honest with you, was the Star Wars pinball machine. Yeah, I’ve never played that. Oh, that was my favorite pinball machine of all time. Star Wars pinball. Yeah, they have they have a really good collection of pinball machines in that place, too. I don’t I’m I can’t remember all of them that they have. I I’m g have to go back there, like I said, spend a day, inventory everything that they have, like write a list of every game they have so I know what it is. They have some bangers, though. I want to say get them online. I mean, well, we can go there and make Tic Tacs. How about that? I I mean, uh, can we put them on? Oh, for vintage gaming with uncle. Yeah, quite a few of those old arcade games. Uh, I have a few of those like 64 in1 games. Some of those are the old old arcade. Let’s bring them out this uh next or this next weekend. Yeah, that would still be the best videos. Like if you could combine that with like, hey, here’s the arcade version. Like here’s the arcade version. Now we’re going to play it at home. Like show everybody all the arcade versions and then show them all the home versions. Like that would be like a series of videos. Oh yeah. Yeah, that would be awesome. By the way, guys, you only got about seven minutes left. I just want you to know cuz we’re actually on time tonight. Okay. Well, Uncle, we’ve we’re going to have to start.
