And that’ll be the end for me. Uncle, by the way, I can’t seem to open up my internet browser. Uh, I talked about that on my show, which I had to start a half hour late today. uh because of internet issues and I can’t open up I’m just saying I can’t open up my browser and even see if we have international people listening but I will do my best I’ll do my best to get to that before the end of the show and also we have I think the same caller rejoining us okay so you want me to turn them on yeah turn them evening caller my name is Darren Fron I’m the new co-host at Uncle the podcast I’m just totally excited that you called in and I know you’re going to contribute a lot to this Joe.

It’s not It’s not that big a deal really, but you know. Yeah. It’s really something special when Jimmy James, Ed, or Count Puffer call into the show and they add that extra special something that only a caller can do. Well, yeah. And Darren, I would also add you you should probably mention sometime soon that Robin too because he’s back and I’m very glad he is. By the way, shout out to you, Robin, because uh I am going to have the new computer operational within the next week, I hope. And uh I do have the tower in my hands and it is thanks to you sir. So hopefully you’re listening and if not you’ll catch the podcast later. So I wanted to throw that shout out in so I don’t forget in the midst of chaos. Um and there you go. I don’t want to keep interrupting uncle. Sorry. Go ahead. Okay. I guess we’re back to it. Uncle how we feel. This is this is interesting. But to have kind of situation here um Mr. F. Um so your hustle host. Oh, you’re talking about Darren France, not you. Oh, yeah. I thought you form. Oh, Darren Frost. We got a problem here. I was going to mention it, but right now the man isn’t on the line. We all know where we’re going with this. At least this house does. the the um the the um the school subject. Five 541 area code. You are live on the Uncle Show again. Oh. Oh, we do have a caller. Oh, hello caller. Hello. Who’s this? Hello. Oh, you’re back on. This is you. You’re back. Hello. What is this? Is this Jacob? Is that this Jacob again? Yeah. Hello again. What do we have? He’s having pro, guys. I think he’s having problems with his phone there, Jacob. Uh because he he said yes and then it cut off in the middle of him saying yes and boom, he was gone again. So, I don’t think he’s playing with us. I think he’s having trouble with his phone. But anyone else, anyone else can join in if they like, especially if you’re having trouble with your phone or not. Doesn’t matter. Call into uncle. Maybe we can fix it. 319. It’s really something special when Jimmy James Oh yeah. Call James said something. Well, Jimmy could join in too. That’s true. Uh Darren, but hang on. 319-5275016 is the number to call in and uh you can join into this and I will uncle. Do you want me to just drop the callers on live this today or you want me? Since you’re busy with what you’re doing on your end, just throw on them. Just throw them online and just go ahead and what you’re doing get it organized for yourself. So for yourself, okay, I appreciate that, Uncle, but I I want to make the show good. So you tell me what you want. You want me to announce the calls or should I just drop them on and all of a sudden you’ll hear somebody make a noise? Yeah, just drop them on. But because of what you’re doing on that end, I mean, it’s sort of uh uh hurting you actually way too because you’re trying to fix something. Too much going on. But it’s okay, Uncle. It’s okay. For the sake of the show, I will sort it out and I’ll and I’ll deal with it if you want me to do the announcements. But if you want just chaos callers, they get on right away. I’ll set it up so they’re on right away. Okay. Up to you. Oh. Um, why don’t we just pipe them right in? Well, you want to just pipe them right in. Okay. Sounds easy. That’s what I was thinking. Just pop them right in. And then All right. I just got to change I just got to change one setting. And now I will not be in control of the switchboard. You call in, you’re on. That’s it. Oh, damn. Uh I do still have control to uh cut you the hell off, though. So, don’t come on here and make trouble, but if you want to come on here and talk to Uncle, you’ll be right on with them automatically. That sounds good to you, Uncle. Yeah. Yeah, that sounds okay for now. Excellent. So, that’s what we’re going to do. And we’re going to Let’s see. We’re going to put this in open mode. All participants are unmuted. Correct. Oh, there it is. Oh, that’s what we’re It’s on now. Listening, too. So, you can call in. All right. Now everybody. Yeah, that’s good. There we go. Okay, now you heard that from the Patricia. Now everybody that wants to call, that’s the number to call. Go ahead and start ringing. We do have a lot of action in the chat room as well. Uncle, there’s a lot of people there. There’s quack. There’s a lot going on over there. So, there’s a lot of activity. This is exciting. Thank you everybody. You may call in. Don’t be scared. Crazy Bob, where is he at? Crazy Bob. I’m still waiting on my drink. Oh, well, I don’t know. Uh, but yeah, we’re having a good night. I think it’s going to be another regular night. We’ll see. Good evening, Uncle Chuck, all you customers, and to a lesser degree, Sidekick. I hope we’re all ready to have a great night of podcasting. Yeah. Well, Darren’s excited about this show, though. I know he’s he’s ripping and ready to This is the way things to go. But this is the point I’m trying to explain. What point is that, Uncle? We’re back to the school problem. We’re back to the squirrel problem. What is that? Listen here. Listen here, people. We had dogs barking at the window trying to get out to protect the dang food. But come to conclusion of this whole thing, this tree out there by the thing is no more fruit. If you get lucky, you get maybe one if you’re looking at it, but I wouldn’t take any chances of having a good year on that tree. So, what you’re talking about is how squirrels are eating our pomegranates, right? Correct. Your squirrel problem’s just beginning. Uh oh. Oh, hey you. That’s the man I want to speak to. Your squirrel. Actually, your squirrel problem hasn’t even begun yet. I don’t think you are going to No. So, go ahead and state your frivolous taste about the squirrels and the pomegranates. Let me hear it. You’re going to hear it. You’re going to court and we’re going to straighten this problem with your squirrels. You come down here, take your schools to your home. Uncle, who are we talking to? This is the guy’s schools. This is This guy’s Ed. Ed, this is Ed. This is the Ed man I’ve been trying to get in touch with. Hello, Ed. How are you doing? Otherwise, aka Squirly Eddie. So, you just so you know who you’re messing with here. I know. I know. I can tell the voice. That one I can tell. Okay, cool. Well, that’s that’s good. We got uh we got Ed on the line. It’s great that we do. I’m really excited about this. Good evening, Squirrel Boy Eddie. I’m really excited you called in and I’m here to help out in any research capacity that may be needed. You get that, Ed? I scared that poor kid off. You’re not going to scare me off with this automated fake thing. Knock it off, Aaron. What do you mean? That was That was That isn’t him. That’s the new new worker. Yeah, that’s that’s our new co-host. That’s our new co-host. Yeah. Yeah. You knock it off, Ed. Yeah. He’s You knock it off with your school. He’s he’s a trained professional in podcasting. So, he uh he’s done a lot, right? While taking my podcast co-hosting graduate classes, I took many many classes on deep research where I learned how to research the correct way and I’m really feel confident today in my abilities to do research and I end up researching on a regular basis. Okay, so that’s the credentials. What we’ve got here is AI artificial artificial intelligence voice. Well, let’s not worry too much about Darren now. Uncle, what’s We have evidence, don’t we? Don’t we have evidence? Hey, where’s your Where’s your son at? Get him in here. My son Well, my son isn’t I don’t know. What? What did he I told him to come here. I’m trying to change the subject. Let’s hear about the uh squirrels in the pomegranates. That’s what we’re talking about. What? Well, Uncle, why don’t you give a detailed explanation of the situation? Let me explain to you what’s happened before we start arguing here. we had and my uh sister is also a witness has some of these um squirrels come from the top of the tree go up the tree. They went up and and and the pomegrants are on the tree right now. Not pulled off. Mhm. They are eating the pomegranates. We have photographic evidence that we’re showing here on the live stream. I know uh Ed can’t see it. I wish you could see this. I wish you could see it. We’ve got some pretty damning evidence, I have to say, here of uh Well, all I’m hearing is a squirrel is eating a pomegranate. What’s wrong with that? I mean, the squirrels and the pomegranates were there long before you guys were. You’re going to have to learn to share, all there is to it. they share any with you. They’ve been eating those things for who knows hundreds of years, thousands of years. We don’t know how long that tree. They just started this coming two years already. What are you talking about? Two years they started where you’ve been, Ed. So Ed’s Ed’s argument isn’t that the Well, that’s what I’m asking. How long’s that pomegranate tree been there? And how long have you guys been there? Because the squirrels in the pomegranates, I suspect, have been there longer than you guys. Well, how long? I mean, you guys have been there what 10 years now or so about. But we’re the ones that planted this tree. So, we feel that we have ownership of this tree. You see, I see what’s going on here. He planted it. I did plant it. Well, yeah, but you planted it on squirrel territory. So, they’re just taking their taxes. You know, they’re Will that will that be taking their share? Will that be would that be the fence line? They don’t There is no fence line in squirrel territory. No. from human territory. Human territory. Artificial. That’s uh what would that be? Uh that would be a a al artificial lines. But you should see these gods how they go into the tree. Yeah. And te this stuff. You guys I wish I could see that video because uh I don’t think you guys even have identified what kind of squirrels these are. Oh, hey. No. The photographic evidence does seem to be conclusive in that the bite marks on the fruit are absolutely those from a squirrel. You can tell by the bite marks and the photo. You hear him? You hear him? That’s what he said. There we go. There’s our evidence. There’s the evidence. Good one, Darren. Good one. Very good one. Very good. I didn’t think of that. I didn’t think it very smart. Very smart. But it was he they do that still doesn’t change the als the artificial lines that uh you guys have drawn around the squirrel territory of Riverside. I believe those are probably ground squirrels. You see up a tree to get food and stuff, but they live underground. Oh, wait. There’s a California ground squirrel. What we’re going to do, don’t you guys have like a wildlife book for that you can look up what kind of animals you got around there? We don’t probably. But you see, you see what’s going on here, right, Uncle? He’s Ed has a philosophical argument against this because he knows he knows what’s going on. He knows that the squirrels are eating our fruit. So, his argument is philosophical in that squirrels should be allowed to eat fruit. So, what we have to It’s okay. A little bit’s fine. A little bit. A little bit’s fine. I’m not complaining to eat a little bit. And that’s a share of it. But for Pete sinks, I go out there, they have they take the whole pomegrant and eat the whole inside. I can’t I never Well, what do you do? You What do you do? Eat a couple seeds and throw the rest away? They’re not wasteful like humans. Of course they eat the whole thing. Oh my gosh. Uncle, you see what he’s doing to us here? So, we have to prove that this is a a crime, Uncle. This is a crime, right, uncle? How are we going to get this to be Yeah. There there’s no grounds for a crime here when people move into squirrel territory and draw lines and plant trees on their territory, you know? I mean, they uh they they have no grounds to have. I’m telling you, this this school too. This You’re lucky we don’t eat every pomegranate that they stomach. I know he’s been eating them. They have big stomachs. They had to have a big side stomach eating these things. This territory is controversial, but that’s completely all right because podcasts are out there to push. They’re kind of a nuisance to try to eat them. You know, those little bitty seeds with the little juice around them. They’re hard to eat. Yes, that’s true. So, so that’s another point I guess Ed is throwing at us is that because they’re hard to eat, the squirrels should eat them. I’m not I’m not do you guys usually eat a day off that tree? How big? Let’s put a better extent when there’s any left for squirrels. Is the squirrel’s mouth size? Let’s put that in spec. What are you laughing at? That’s a question. That’s a question. I want to ask Ed this. Since that’s his buddies, I want to know what’s the size of them. What? Oh, we got another caller. We got another caller. talking to Oh, is is that the uh the kid back? Uh caller. Hello. Hello. Where you going? Who Who are you? New caller. Who are you? Hello. Josh Jacob. I forget his name. Jingleheimimer. Oh, well. Anyway, the uh Yeah, I’m just wondering how many pomegranates you guys uh like to consume. He was there, then he was gone. Sorry. How many of you, you know, what’s your habit on the on the uh pomegranates here? It’s a It’s a specific season, first of all, and they’re only in season for a few months, and when they’re there, we eat a few of them, and the tree can only make so many, right, Uncle? We only have so many pomegranates, so it’s not like we have like an endless supply, right, Uncle? Yeah. Let them know. Let them know. Come on. No, I’m just curious cuz uh we have one. It’s been years. I only for a brief time in my life did I live near a pomegranate tree and uh oh I don’t remember the season they grew or anything you know I don’t when it was in winter California we had there was a pomegranate tree that grew up over a fence and I’d go up on the fence it was in the neighbor’s yard so I’m kind of like the squirrels I guess I was getting up on the fence and getting some pomegranates off of there. Yeah. Well, I mean they um I was crossing by those those those those ALS they’re only they’re only they’re only ripe a line they’re only ripe in the fall time really like when September hits they they can start getting ripe. So you got uh the fall through the early winter and then in in when the winter hits it really falls off. So you only have like that fall period to eat them. You see pomegranates uh in uh pictures of Thanksgiving feasts and stuff sometimes and sometimes at Christmas because that’s like the end point of them. So that’s because that’s when they’re ripe. Yeah. That’s so interesting too because you see pomegranate imagery in like in the Bible and stuff and that’s not like real winterlands. You got to wonder. Yeah, I’m getting curious about pomegranates now. Yeah. No, there’s there’s a lot to get into, that’s for sure, with this. And uh You ever tasted one, by the way? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. I’m talking to you. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I used to pick a bunch of them off the neighbor’s tree. So, you know how it tasted? But my grandmother, we we would eat them as a kid. It’s kind of fun to peel it open and peck at those seeds. But no, my grandmother would uh put them in a pot, squish them down, and strain it and make pomegranate syrup out of them. See? Now, Rick and Morty told you, “Don’t f with the squirrels, uncle. And if you’re going to, you got to make a stew out of them, just like he’s talking about with the pomegranates. That’s the only way. If you ain’t going to do it, leave them be.” Oh, there’s Well, Rick and Morty also exposed the fact that the squirrels actually really run the world. So, let’s remember that, Chuck. Okay. Well, this is interesting stuff cuz you you put the video up on that. Hey, that wasn’t me. Squirrels are really running things. That wasn’t me. Actually, not many people know that. I guess we let it out now here on this. No, that wasn’t him cuz it wasn’t shown on his face. No, that wasn’t me. That wasn’t you cuz I know you were you you had your He It wasn’t him. Was that the guy? Whoever that guy was. Sounded a lot like me. I check. Who was this guy? I don’t know. Somebody else on the line. Just a moment. Let’s get somebody else on the line. Somebody’s calling. Somebody else calling. Somebody else. This is what happens when you throw the lines open. I threw I got the lines open and an unidentified caller came in and he sounded a lot like me. Well, who know? I I don’t know. He was uh what do he call it? He masked his number. A block number. Dang. This is getting crazy. So yeah, I don’t know who he was. Number Dang, this is getting really complicated. Well, should we cut the cuz we Well, this is the open lines. I don’t know. Oh, I can’t control that. Should we stop the lines then? Stop. The pomegranate issue is not complicated, though. You guys just got to share with the squirrels. That’s all. Well, we have been. We’ve been chewing it down. People have been there a long time. Longer than you guys. Longer than your tree. They probably thought you put that there. Can be that you guys were like giving them a tribute for being on their territory. And so you planted them a fine pomegranate tree. That’s probably what they think. That’s what they’re thinking. Is that what’s going on? Is that what’s happening here, Uncle? I can’t quite tell. Well, I got to say, it’s the first two that’s been around, and they’re the only two that’s been around eating them. So, I couldn’t agree with you more, Uncle. We only got two squirrels. You guys are crying about two squirrels having a pomegranate. Come on. It’s all of our pomegranates. They’re all gone. And it’s all based on your sister’s testimony or she got a picture of him eating one or something. We got We’ve got photographic evidence. We have photographic evidence. Photo Oh, we’re going to call it photographic evidence. You could take it this way, guys. Look, I’m a I’m a neutral party here. Okay. You could take it this way. Um, you’re feeding the squirrels really well. Two of them. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That that one had stomach. It’s it’s a nice stomach and eating stomach. Well, let’s not body shame. Okay, let’s not body shame the squirrel about the stomach and all. I’m just saying. That’s it. That’s the thing. That’s the thing. They’re chilling down. You think pomegranates are going to make a squirrel fat? I don’t think so. If anything, it’s going to run right through them. You’re going to have more squirrel poop around. I mean, I think I mean, maybe I’m wrong, Ed. Am I wrong? Don’t Don’t pan make squirrels poop or am I crazy? I’m sure anything they eat will make them poop. Well, I mean, but extra kind of because like fruit, I don’t know. When I’ve seen squirrels get a hold of fruit, it’s going to keep their keep them uh keeps them regular. Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking. I’ve done my research and I’ve checked the facts. They’re not infesting your attic or anything like that. They’re not chewing up your your whatever the wires in your cars or anything like mice do. They’re just enjoying the pomegranate. Come on. Right. Well, maybe I’m just I just offered a a third party perspective, that’s all. Cuz you guys are getting heated here. Over two squirrels eating the pomegranates. I mean, you know, how many trees are we talking about? The way they they were talking calling me out last week and everything. I thought that that the squirrels, you know, there like dozens of squirrels just taking over the whole tree or something. Well, how many trees are we talking here, by the way? There’s only really one tree in the back. One that only makes fruit. That’s why That’s why it’s so important because it’s our only pomegranate tree and now it’s been uh ruined. It’s all the fruit is gone. So Fron So France, plant another pomegranate tree. Plant another one. See, that’s what I’m saying. Plant another one. Right. Just plant another one. No, it would they would they too would get stolen. That’s that’s the whole thing. Once But you don’t know that until you do it. No, no, no. You don’t know that until you do it. Let’s be honest. Cuz I’ve I’ve turned around and put two different tomato patches in the same yard. The animals eat the hell out of one and leave the other one alone. And I don’t even know why there is one in the front. Yeah, it gets complicated cuz Yeah, tell them about that, Uncle. There’s two in the Actually, there’s two in the front, but they haven’t produced it. Yeah, that’s the problem. We only have We have like three pomegranates altogether and there’s only one that makes fruit. That’s why it makes it even more bitter and why we’re more pissed off about this because our one fruit making tree is plugged dry. Plug dry. We don’t have anything. So So maybe as the caretakers of the other two trees, if you improve their situation, they will also bear fruit. How about that? There’s my argument. And there’s the mother earth argument. I’m not even arguing on behalf of the squirrels. I’m just about school. Not school. I mean that that that that tree that I got in the front that you don’t see, trim it down and let’s see it and see if they come out. I think they got a point here, Chuck. Okay. And I think that’s what we need. Well, I see I see where we’ve gotten to and it’s gotten to the point where the answer to this whole thing is because I haven’t pruned a tree properly. Well, that’s the real problem here. But if you do, it’ll produce fruit. Okay. No uh arborist is taking care of those uh trees in the front so they’re not bearing fruit. See asks are starving if they don’t eat what little they can get off the one in the back. So ask the crazy blind pagan what to do about this. Fix the trees. See it’s simple. You want to be the caretaker of a tree and you don’t want to just let them grow wild everywhere and you restricted the thing. So now fix it and you’ll have more pomegranates to work with. And you won’t know if the squirrels will even bother with those trees until you actually fix it. And who knows, maybe you’ll become the thing that feeds all the squirrels in the neighborhood. But then again, maybe they’ll leave it alone and you’ll have an even better pomegranate tree up front for your purposes. See, you got to think about it more than one way. Am I right or wrong? I mean, tell me I’m stupid. No, that’s coral feeders. Start putting some hazelnuts in there for me. Try that. So, sidekick, what you need to do? What I need to do? Yes. What? Trim that front pomegranate tree. Okay. I can around it and see what we got there. Okay. When we know we have the other one that’s clear, but that one by the house is what I’m talking about. Trim it around. Get that cleaned out and see what is growing in it. And see what they’re saying. You see, what do you say we let Sidekick take a backseat for a minute? Seeing as how he does only seem to be able to use the knobs and not talk so well. I agree. There you go. That’s what I was talking about there. Okay. That’s that you’re just getting you’re just getting told, Aaron, all over the place. You’re getting told to be quiet. To be quiet. Well, there go. He said it. Not me. He think do you like that alcohol? Well, at least I got somebody f behind me that really can understand something. So you I’ve done my research a lot of different options, you know, take care of the trees in the front so they produce. Get a squirrel feeder, put some hazelnuts in there for them. Uh, you know, and just be willing to share your pomegranates with the native people there, which the squirrels are. Well, I guess we have no choice. I do know one thing. We sure have two good friends of yours and they do have a good size stomach cuz they were eating away in that that that tree in the back. But who can we’re not going to have it anyway so it doesn’t matter to me. Okay, so you’ve changed your mind. Maybe that good side stomach is probably pregnant. Wait a minute. Maybe that Hang on, Ed. Ed, hang on a second. Ed fully identify this creature as can’t hear me. I guess Ed, hold on a second. I I got a question here. How do you know that the fat stomach squirrel is not pregnant? How about that? I know if it’s a female or male. But no, you don’t. I’m asking you a question because you keep saying, “Oh, they’re fat off of our pomegranates.” You don’t know that. I’m saying to you that could be a pregnant squirrel eating your pomegranates. What about that? Well, for Pete’s sakes, I don’t know. Who you talking about? I’m offering different alternatives. What you getting a millionaire cut? You’re supposed to be doing your work. You’re doing your work on the other side. My uncle wants me to be quiet, too. See? Yeah. Yeah. Get your get your towel up and get your work done up there and then you can get it set up and we can talk. But I’m trying to talk. That ain’t happening until days from now. But okay. No problem. No problem. You want me to be quiet, Uncle? I’ll I’ll do what I got to do here. I’m just the producer. It’s your show. You got it. Uncle, I’ve got to tell you, I’m wondering why sidekick agreeing with me a little too there, right? I got to come up against both of you guys without an advocate. Yeah. Well, this this court’s getting crazy, Uncle. We weren’t we weren’t ready for all this. I did see this was I think you guys stepped into the deep end of the pool before you were ready here when you called me out last week. You listen, you guys. It’s only two four little squirrels, right? You guys started this because you were complaining and you wanted answers. Well, we’re not just the only two complaining. The whole house is Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I don’t have to hear them. I’m hearing you. So, I’m telling you, you guys complained about it last week and this week you were going off on it again and Ed the mail guy called in just to answer you. So, now you got your answers. Okay. But you asked for this. I know I did. I did. Okay. Well, I’m not complaining about I did ask for it. I wanted to have a conversation with the the school. Some of the folks in the house, maybe not you guys are are making a big issue out of something that’s not an issue at all. Maybe you need to you guys are the men in the house. You’re going to you need to put your feet down, foot down. Oh, good. And tell the women to just mind their business and leave the squirrels alone. I I I somehow don’t think you’re talking to the right man about this. Uh, you saying that? Step in here. Where’s your Where’s your other side? Where’s my other side? To come over here. She heard that. She scream cuz she doesn’t like her school shoes her her her shoes. She doesn’t like her shoes. So, she’ll scream about talk about. So, you you you you stepped in a duty spot there. There, Ed. Now, we’re on the shoes. Okay. No, Ed didn’t do that. I did. You guys need to put your foot down and let the ladies know, hey, that that’s enough of this talk about the squirrels in the pomegranate. We’ve decided they can have their share, whatever they want, and we don’t want to hear any more of your whining about it. Well, we got the problem solved. He’s going to sub down that other tree in the front to see what we get. Okay, that’s going to solve the problem. This whole thing, we got a whole resolution. Uncle, you keep leaning further and further. Where you going? this conversation over here to talk. You’re really leaning into it here. Yes, we’re leaning into We heard that there’s two other pomegranate trees. I was just picturing the one out there, you know. How’s your not How’s your comedy show, folks? There you go. Calm down a try to say something, Ed. These these this tree that they’re eating or we’re eating. Who’s that? I heard you squirrel. And here we here we have here we have an open pomegranate. Freedom that cheat to eat the pomegrans. They couldn’t find the other ones if they tried in the ones in the front cuz that’s all covered anyway is what I’m trying to tell you. Uh oh. Ed, who’s what do you want now? This is this is quite the community issue. They’ll bother with those trees until you get them some pomegranates on there. You know, they’re not going to just come if they’re ground squirrels. California ground squirrels like I suspect. I think they are. I doubt they just want to climb those trees in the front away from these these other No pomegranates up there. Well, so naturally they’re not going out to the front trees. There’s nothing there for them. Well, yeah. I think it comes back to I really need to work on those front trees. Those trees, that’s what it comes to. There’s a lot of work to be done. There’s probably some mulching I could do. There’s probably some composting. There’s probably some pruning I could do. So, your business this weekend, if you get around to it, is do them. Okay, I can do that. Yay. Sounds fun. them and see. I’m not really sure what your guys’ squirrels, you know, what their normal uh diet is, but you guys could first find out if indeed it is a true squirrel and what kind of squirrel it is and check that out and maybe find some other fruits and things you could leave around the yard for them that would be healthy. What else do they eat? And if you’re going to do composting, Aaron, if you’re going to do composting, if anybody in your house drinks coffee, don’t throw away the coffee grounds because if you make that part of your composting, that actually might deter the squirrels. If you make a tree bear fruit and part of the compost was coffee grounds because it’ll be a little too acidic for them. That’s them. I’m just telling you, it’s them two. It’s them, too. I I do save the coffee grounds. I haven’t put it directly on the pomegranate. Maybe I’ll just start dumping it at the root base of No, as part of the compost. As part of the compost, I’m saying so that’ll be part of the nutrient that goes into the plant. It’ll create a mild sort of extra flavor on it that most people won’t even notice, but might actually deter the wildlife from eating the fruit. I’m just saying. Oh, stop eating the fruit. Okay. Oh, I didn’t know that. Or they could get all caffeinated up and, you know, their metabolism gets higher and they got to eat more, too. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, this is all stuff that can be done. Possibility. Yes. But tell you, this is getting interesting here tonight. Well, yeah. I mean, there’s so much going on tonight. There’s This is an exciting show. I’ve learned a lot. I know that. I know. I’ve learned a whole lot. It’s probably what I like the most is the learning experience of this. And uh Well, you learned something. Podcasting is really best left to the experts such as Uncle. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah. I So, Uncle, what do you say to that? He’s right. He’s right. Off the squirrels and pomegranates. Question. How How are the UFOs doing down there in Riverside? Still there. Nobody cares about them anymore. You’re just normalizing now. Everybody’s happy or what? I That’s all correct. Yes, they’re all they’re here. Well, I mean they are here. But we found uh we were having the discussion. Yeah. On the war. What’s the discussion? It’s something in the thing that your side was talking about to me about. Is it a human or is it a dancer? Are we a regular machine? Yeah. In it. But they are coming. They are coming. Well, they’re here. Yeah. To answer the question, they’ve been here. They’ve been here the whole time. They’re still there. They’re in the same place. We see them. We even see different ones when we go out to Landers. I have videos of them. I post them online. Nobody cares. Hey, you should should put them on our line. No one cares. See them out at Landers. But I thought you guys seen them right there down in your backyard. We do. Yeah, we see them every single night. It’s always in the same spot. Oh, yeah. I saw a strange thing. nothing like what you guys have going a few months ago down on my back deck and I turned around and looked up. It was a clear night. It was a quarter moon and there was a bright star just under it to the right to my right and all of a sudden that star jumped over to the left up below and it disappeared over there. And then a second later it lit up and jumped back to where it was. And uh I went in and got my binoculars, but they’re useless because I can’t handhold them and it was late. I wasn’t going to get the tripod out or anything, but it wouldn’t matter. I just wonder uh that that kind of it looked just like a star like you know like or a planet like Venus or something, but they don’t usually jump from one side like like little bit under the moon doesn’t jump one side to the other and disappear and then jump back to where it was. That’s what I thought. Yeah, I have no explanation for it. Yeah, I don’t either. I mean, it’s Yeah, it’s it’s another question of what the heck was that? And I don’t know. I don’t know what the things we see are either. There’s uh somebody up there pretending to be a be a star, a planet, but I don’t know. And then I got kind of spooked. I thought, man, is that thing watching me? Yeah. It’s not what I thought that it was just a a bright star or planet. They don’t jump around like Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. So, it was not one of them. It wasn’t one of those things. Jump straight to the other side, but it would disappear over there. It wouldn’t be lit up and then flash and jump back. Huh. To the other side and look just like a star up there. Big bright star planet, whatever. So many questions. Still, I still wonder about it. Yeah. You guys are way more into the ufology than I am. So yeah, you guys might have seen something like that before. Yeah, we’ve I mean at this point we’ve seen all different forms of them that we’ve seen them doing different things, moving in different ways and it’s been a few different things and and I videoed quite a few not all of the ways that we’ve seen them have I been able to video, but videoed a couple different ones and it’s weird. Yeah. I I I don’t know what’s going on. Jimmy. Jimmy, you are live already on the phone, just so you know. Oh, Jimmy’s here. Jimmy, you’re on the phone. Yeah. Yeah. Hello, Jimmy. Hello, Jimmy. We’re having a conversation. I’m listening to him. And Jimmy, you are super low, brother. Yes. Turn it up some. Can’t hear you. Yeah, everybody’s kind of low to me, but that could just be my ears are bad. You’re No, you’re real loud and clear, Ed. It’s weird cuz you’re both on the same circuit. What I hear what I’m hearing through the phone is a little is a little dim, you know. Well, I don’t want to turn it up too much. And that could just be You’re not hearing us too well because you don’t hear me when I try to interrupt you. But I’m going to turn you up a little, but I don’t want it to echo back is what the problem is. If I turn it up too loud turned up, just turn those guys up so I could hear them. No, I know. That’s what I’m trying to do. But you’re both on the same uh you’re both on the same uh what do you call it? Um you’re both on the same channel. I got Sorry. No, no, it’s okay. It’s just a matter of you’re coming through just fine. But Jimmy, go ahead and say something. Oh, Jimmy, you’re like a vague whisper, brother. Yeah, I can’t even hear him. Yeah, hang on. I don’t even know if the listeners can hear you. You You can kind of hear him. I can hear him a little bit, but yeah, it’s really barely barely. Call back in, Jimmy, please. Yeah, give it another shot. Maybe it’ll work better the next time for some What is it? The phone. No, I’m getting my own echo off of his phone better than I am his voice. So, I need him to call back in. I hear you, too. I don’t It’s his phone. needs to go back to his landline. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, it’s weird. It’s a crazy night here. There’s so much going on. Crazy night. Phone problems. Then we have UFO talk. UNFO talk and now and court is happening cases with with squirrels. What’s going on in this in this creative accidents did drop a suggestion. Are your squirrels kind of gray with they might have some little spottedness to them? They they are the ground squirrels. They are the ground squirrels. That’s one thing. Okay. You have identified that they’re the California ground squirrel. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That’s what they’re called. They’re called the California ground squirrel. And they’re hungry is what they are. They’re hungry animal. You have those there. You have other squirrels there, but those squirrels are pretty much, I guess, unique to your place, right? So, off the squirrel topic real quick, Uncle Sorry. Off the squirrel topic real quick, Uncle. Uh I know you want to know this information. Oh, yeah. Uh, we have two different listeners on Apple devices in the United Kingdom right now according to what I can see and also our listener in Germany who tuned in early when the shows went live and is still there. Uh, as well as one listener in Spain and one listener in Mexico right now. It’s working. You your stickers, they’re working. Oh, did they did they work? They worked. They said they got one in Spain. Oh, maybe one in Spain. Now, hold on. We also need to note that you’re down to your last uh let’s see now. 10 10 minutes here. Yeah, there’s 10 minutes. I I just I just my watch, but I don’t know your watch, but Yeah. No, you got it. 10 minutes left. Yep. Just one note to Chuck, too. I think you’re correct on the uh Monty Irvin was the first Black Giant. Black Giant, if I remember correct. Yes. New York Giant baseball player. I think it was Monty Irvin. That was my thought, but I I wasn’t certain. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, sorry about that. It was about I was talking about Willie Mays during my show and uh I mentioned that. Yeah. Although Willie had played in the Negro Leagues before going to the major leagues. I believe the first New York Giant was actually to be black was um Monty Irvin just like the first black Yankee was Howard. Um, just these are just weird facts that I happen to have in my brain floating around. Sorry. Talking about baseball for a moment. How is it going with the playoff pictures? Ed, was it that likes them? I can’t speak for every other team, but the Dodgers have been playing pretty crappy lately. They’ve won a few now, but they lost seven in a row there for a while. I know. I know. They won a lo six in a what I what I Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Listen here, Dodger fans. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Wait a minute. Now I have to interrupt here. Hey, Ed, Ed, I have to interrupt and cut you off because you know what? You have no room to complain. I’m a Mets fan. So, you know what? Talk about crappy play. No, no, no, no. Dodger fan. Shush. I don’t want to hear it. You got, you know, come on. Here we go. Come on. Now you look at the Mets back in the lineup somehow, man. We’re listen, we are under 500 and we ain’t going nowhere near it. So, you know what? Have fun in the playoffs and don’t complain. All right. And plus, show Otani, shut up. Anyway, you know, hit a home run tonight. He hit one last night. Oh, that’s nice. That’s nice. I like to see when, you know, our our most uh top three multi-millionaires reach first base every three days. Okay. So, go ahead. Have fun with that. You got Otani. Shh. No complaints. Photo’s getting Otani’s kind of money, man. He ought to be be I laughed when they gave him that money. He’s never gonna earn that. Yeah, me too. Me, too. I look at him, I’m like, please don’t strike out. That’s all I’m asking for at this point. I mean, come on. They could have gave him money. I guess that might have motivated him better because it sucks. I’m sorry. Yeah, they gave Otani money, right? He doesn’t deserve that. You’re right. Precisely. He’s never He’s never going to pitch. No, he’s never going to pitch. And he’s probably not going to hit while he’s on while he’s a Met anymore, really. Except Oh, no. You know what? He’s going to drill in a home run in a game where we’re behind by 10. He’s going to do stuff like that. Uh so, you know, to keep his uh his, you know, his own numbers padded a little bit. Uh no, take a look at the young players on the Mets and maybe in two years we’ll have a team. Maybe if they don’t trade away Nolan Mlan and if they don’t trade away Brett Batty and if they don’t trade away AJ Ewing, we might have a team in two, three years. Don’t give up those young guys if they’re looking good, man. That’s what I’m saying. These guys are good. The young kids are great, but they can’t win the game by themselves. And the veterans suck. So you’re complaining Dodger fan in a row. You know, as my sister said, as she’s also a Dodger fan, we we do have kind of high expectations, I guess. So we whine and cry when they go on a losing streak. So they go on a losing streak. They’ve won two game two World Series. Uh so Oh yeah. I’m just talking about the recent uh you know post Allstar break uh little losing streak they had. I know. I know. I I seen them. They just swept the Colorado Rockies. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You you listen you had a bad week. Oh, you had a bad week. Listen, I got a number for you. 2026 the whole thing has sucked. Okay, as far as Mets fans go. So, come on. Come on. Right away. Every star player is injured for six weeks. Come on. Okay. 2026 dead, over, finished, not even coming close to the playoffs. And I felt good before they started playing when I watched them in spring training. You remember I said on here? Oh, I know. And I was like, “Oh, good. We might have a team.” And it looked like on paper on paper we did have a team. But they screwed it all up in the offse. All of it. Nope. It’s no more. Well, that’s why the Dodgers go out and grab every quality starting pitcher they can because they know that before the All-Star break, at least half of them wind up on the injured list. Yeah. And the Mets gave their money and their Mets gave their money to every lazy player they could instead of going out and buying pitchers like they should have. Okay. Please, come on. You know, what are you going to do at this point? Even Even the Braves had the sense to go get pitching. Come on. You know, look what they have. How do we start them playing this thing all of a sudden? Yeah. Cuz he makes me mad. He’s complaining. Oh, I’m going to complain about how the Dodgers are playing. I’m a Mets fan. You know what? I tune into the Dodgers when I’m sick of watching the Mets lose. Okay. Like when I got a little free thing and I can watch a free game, I turn around and I I go, “Okay, I watch the Mets until they blow it, which only takes till about the fourth inning.” And then I go look and see, are the Dodgers playing? Because I might want to look at show Otani for a minute and remember what baseball’s supposed to look like. You know what I’m saying? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know what you’re saying. Yeah. So, complain to me about the Dodgers some more. I live for years, you know, what’s his name? Rupert Murdoch owned the team and then that couple from Boston that bought the Dodgers and they had they were forced to sell the team because they were just laundering money from it, letting all the, you know, the farm system go to hell and everything. Yeah. Yeah. There’s I don’t know, man. I am a fan of the team that traded away Nolan Ryan for nothing. Oh, yeah. So, remember that. There we have it. There we have it. And every every superstar they bring in, what happens? They have their worst year or they’re Willie Mays and they’re trying real hard and it’s their last year. That’s it. That’s it. With that, with that uh with that last response, we’re showing out to a shout out. I think it’s shout out time. It’s shout out timeout. Let’s do this. Let’s do it for you. Sounds good, Uncle. Okay, now everybody. Who is first? I don’t know who who was here first, uncle. Who was first? Anybody? That was Jacob, the little kid that called first. I don’t know if he’s still on. He’s not there anymore. Jimmy is back on the line, but I don’t know if we can hear him. Jimmy. Jimmy. Hey, we do hear you. There you are. We hear you now. Go ahead. Go do a shout out, Jimmy. At least. Sorry you only got in at the end, but go ahead. Yeah, go ahead. Fix that line next week. Huh? Yeah. Go ahead, Jimmy. Go ahead. Here we are in the middle of the process. We got into baseball. I just hope that these undocumented squirrels quit stealing all of Aaron and uncle’s fruit. Okay, there we go. Somebody’s on our side. I knew that. I knew that this would happen. I knew we could count on you. Jimmy, thank you so much. It really means a lot to me. I know that much. So, it’s really something special when Jimmy James, Ed, or Count Puffer call into the show and they add that extra special something that only a caller can do that, too. There you have it. All right. Hey, Aaron. We only got so much time here. Yeah. Go ahead. Go ahead, Ed. Your turn on the shout out. Yeah. Shout out away. Well, I’m going to shout out to those two honorable, brave squirrels that are showed up to teach uh teach Aaron and Uncle some valuable life lessons. Now, it’s going to be up to you guys to teach those lessons to the ladies in the house who seem to be the ones that are in on the complaints as well. There you go. But yeah, shout out to those two poor hungry squirrels in the pomegranate tree in Riverside. There’s my shout out. Okay, there you go. Thank you for calling Ed and talking sense into us. I love you guys as always, man. Thanks for doing what you do. We’ll see you, Ed. Take it easy. See you. All right, so with that, I’m going to kill the phone lines. Goodbye. There they go. And give a shout out really quickly to Robin in Canada because uh with his help, I have the tower now for the new computer setup and am just short a few things. Uh like I do need a new keyboard. I think I mentioned on my show I can’t use the letter C on my keyboard even. So, I do need a new one of those and a couple other little things to get the computer setup set up. So, that’s about it. And so, progress made, but also special thanks to Robin for pushing that over the edge and getting the tower done. Uh, appreciate you, man. And I know you were listening. You tried to call in, but you hung up. So, uh, the caller. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Robin Robin called in and hung up because he was Robin call in. I thought it was the the boy. No, that happened, too. Both things happened. Oh, I’m saying. Yeah. And Jimmy called in and we couldn’t hear him at first and then he called back. Right. I think we got I think when you get your stuff organized on that end and your side there, Ed, I mean, um Chuck Chuck, it will all come together with the calling and everything else, right? Well, no. tonight. These these problems were not my phone problems. They were on the other end cuz you heard Ed just fine, right? So, the thing is Jimmy James was too low for some reason on his phone and the kid Jacob Jacob called in five times just so you know. Uh but he like called in, he would drop off. I don’t know if he just couldn’t keep his connection. So, these are things I can’t control what’s wrong with somebody’s phone. No, no. I mean, on their end, then they got to fix their end, I should I should say, for the next week cuz if they want to talk to us. So, maybe that can be a shout out, uncle. Hey, yeah, that’s a shout out. Let’s turn this into a shout out. I’m taking that for mine for a shout out. You, you’re next. There you go. Fix your phones. That’s uncle shout out. Fix your phones. Yeah, that’s mine. I can’t use that shout out. I can’t tell people fix their phones. The same thing. Uh, thank you to everybody. Thank you to Darren for letting me know that I’m not good at talking in a microphone. Thank you for everybody for explaining to me I don’t know how to garden. Thank you uncle for having me here. Those are my shout outs. I’ve learned so much tonight. Uncle uh what’s your shout out? My um what is it? What was I gonna say? The phones. Oh. Um, my shout out is to those other people that was trying to call us to get organized on that other in on their side of Come on people, get your phones working. Get your phones working. Get it organized for next week’s show. This is Uncle the podcast. Okay. Expect a certain level of professional callers. That’s mine. So, uh, there is 400 and Ninth in the book. We’re done.
