Oh,  here we go. We got our first phone call. We got a call. Who knew? Hello. Where? Who’s on this  line? I wasn’t sure we took calls. Don’t They already know the number. They do. Yes, he just  told it. You You’re getting blown here, Sidekick. Hello. Here. There’s the monkey man. Hello. Hello,  uncle. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, I’m your I’m a big fan of your tic tac. Oh, tic tac. I don’t um was  that that couch you were assembling you were hooking was that happened to be uh an IKEA?So Danny is referencing the tic tac video we posted today on just now that you just did.  It was the one I posted now. We actually shot that like a week or two ago. It was where the  dog was sitting on the couch. Oh yeah. Oh that one. The dog. The dog scene. Oh that’s what you  have to say. It’s a dog scene. The dog scene. The dog scene. Yes, that’s the new one. That was the  new one that the new video. The new video. But we had him sit there and I was explaining this dog  is sitting here while we’re moving along putting this thing together. That’s exactly what I said,  I think. Does that answer your question? Did that answer your question? Yeah. Yeah. That was It was  in a night. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was the couch. Did we get that couch from IKEA, Uncle?  I don’t remember. Oh. Oh. Where did that couch come from? I don’t remember. I don’t think it  was IKEA. It was somewhere. No, no, I don’t think it. But it has several pieces. It’s a large couch,  which I don’t know where it came from. You got to ask the ladies. I don’t know who. Yeah. Yeah.  That’s their area. That’s their area to know. I’m not sure. I can’t tell you. I don’t think it was  IKEA, though. No, I don’t think so. Cuz that’s my favorite. That’s my favorite. Um that’s my  favorite place. IKEA. Yeah. Do you like the food there, Uncle? Is that No, the the the furniture.  Furniture. Okay. The kids got furniture. I know. But they they have the little ice cream cones.  They have like spaghetti plate you can get. And uh the meatballs. You like the food there,  Danny? You like the meatballs? I mean, I like the meatballs. You like the food? The Swiss meatballs.  I do. I do. But I got I got another question for all here. Right. Now, I know you you’re you’re  when you’re you’re a big um you’ve had a lot of UFO or UPI or whatever unidentified seeing  objects, but I read an article within a British I’m not sure if it was a tabloid or a regular  newspaper and there was this biogeneticist and he was looking at the studying the DNA of those  who claimed to have been abducted by aliens and relatives. and he has found nonparental genetic  markers. Your thoughts? Well, unless it was one of those guys main is is brain is brain talk.  It has to be a brain tool. Has to be. It has to be. It has to be a brain talk. There’s no  other way around. But if it was uh one of those fellas, aliens. Alien. If it was an alien, ask me  it going through the brain. It not going through the mouth. It’s through the brain. Cuz there is  um the I meant to tell you uh did you hear this last week? Telepathy Danny about what’s  that word? It’s an advanced system of telepathy. Telepathy. Telepathy. This lady these extraterrestthrough telepathy telepathies. And they’ll they’re going from brain to brain, from another world.  Another world. And he and she is hearing it from him. She’s a medium. She’s uh what do they call  that? She’s a channeler. She’s channeling us. Yeah. Cherry. That’s what’s happening. That’s  cherrying them. Cherry. Cherrying it for trying to tell us what he is saying. That’s what it is.  That’s a big scene on Tic Tac, too, Danny. I don’t know if you noticed that, but a lot of channeling  of aliens going on. I haven’t seen that. I haven’t seen that, but I do remember when my son,  my 11-year-old son dragged me to see Independence Day. Oh, I remember the president got by the  aliens. I do remember that thing. That that that is true. That alien that uh independence game.  That’s that’s a that’s a good one because I remember that movie and and and and the aliens.  One second. Yeah. One second, Uncle Just to be straight about this. One second. Oh, no. Uh you’re  talking about the scientist getting his face pushed up against the window when the president  was there. Right. Right. And then the the alien uses his vocal cords. See, that’s not channeling.  That was him physically. No, he physically grabbed the dead man’s vocal cords and made them work.  That’s how alien, right? And he went in there and in in our language and everything was like,  “You’re all going to die.” Yeah, those are aliens. I thought that was a alien itself just talking to  them. That really got my attention. Well, but see, the alien did something even more bizarre than the  alien talking. He took a dead man and used him as a puppet. So he had a meat puppet literally going,  “That’s right. I’m going to kill you all.” That to me is way more scary than the guy just showing up  going, “Yeah, like look, nothing you’re going to do is going to work here, so be a shame if  something happened to your planet. You better cooperate.” No, this guy showed up and said,  “See this person here I killed with no effort. Now I’m going to make him into a meat puppet.” Ah,  you see how tough and special you are now? You see what I’m saying? The demonstration. Amazing. So,  I think we should get there’s no there. Oh, no. I was I was really getting into it, Chuck. Yeah,  but this alien movie because when you said that, it it just took me right out. I think it  deserves to be noted that Independence Day is from the ‘9s. The ‘9s is a long time ago. So,  no longer is relevant at all to anything. Not not not now at this time of year. Not this time  of year. Yeah. The only thing that matters is Tik Tok now, Uncle Tic tacking. It’s tic tacing. Yeah,  right. Tell them about it. The only thing that matters now what they’re doing. Two things before  I go, fellas. Two things before I go to though. Just one thing is Yeah, maybe maybe Independence  Day isn’t so relative relevant, but you better watch out because you know, Will Smith could tell  you to get that alien word out of your mouth, right? You know, and smack you while you’re  on stage at the Oscars. So you got to watch out for that. That might be relevant. And number two,  you know, uncle, it’s a comedy show, right? Yeah, I know. I know. I’m just helping out. The thing is  this channeling though, to be clear, is something completely different. It is popular on TikTok,  though. That’s for sure. But channeling is someone being a psychic, right? And they’re getting a  message through an invisible connection. And that invisible connection gets into  them because they’re special. And they channel it back out by telling you, interpreting, hey,  here it is. This is actually what this person from beyond this realm is communicating and they’re a  special person. There’s whole industries about that. So that’s different than an  alien grabbing a body and saying, “Hey, see this guy just killed meat puppet time. Here you go,  Bert Ernie. Where’s Big Bert?” No, different story. So, I’m just saying I want to make that  clear while I was testing something. And Danny, here’s a great point. Go ahead. You guys go at it  and I’ll shut up now. But I wanted to help out and also run a little test while I was entertaining.  Best I can I juggle here. Anyway, guys, sorry for the interruption, Uncle. Wonderful. Wonderful. Um,  yes, I even though I’ve never seen a a UFO and I’m not even sure if I even believe in them,  but I am fascinated by people who do and have seen stuff. huge fan of X files,  but usually when they do something, it’s usually like done with uh like implants,  but I found it was really interesting that they found some he found nonparent genetic markers  and I thought that would be really relevant to some of your UFO sightings or UAP sightings that  you’ve seen there in Riverside. Well, Mrs. Mrs. sidekick. She’s the one that really really if you  want to really talk. She got the ideas and know what she’s talking about. If that’s the one really  who you should be really talking to. We got to do a study on her. The study on her that she’ll pop  it out to you. Is she was she has she ever been like have missing time or claim to be abducted or  anything or she’s just seeing strange stuff? No. Yeah. Yeah. Nothing like that. just uh you know  what I would implore because I think uh my wife is listening now. Why don’t you call into the show  and answer these questions for yourself have have you experienced missing time? Have you had a close  encounter of the third kind uh my dearest? So you know you know what the number is. Call in and  maybe you can answer that. But my understanding is no. She hasn’t been uh abducted. She hasn’t  seen any we’ve seen the um things in the sky all the time now. She she’s always looking up.  Hold on, Danny. I think we got a call. Let’s see who this is. And you’re on air. Hello.Well, I used to stay up in the Minnesota area for a while, but now I’m down in the Baja. He’s back.  Who is this, Uncle? You don’t know who this is, man? Is it Jessie Van Ben? What? What?  What happened? Eric Bur, the Minnesota man. I’m watching I’m watching the the game right  now. Seattle Mariners against Detroit. Two two worthy and 11th in the 11th. And uh favor. Hey,  hey, Kent, do us a favor. Please mute that sound because otherwise we’ll be rebroadcasting without  the express written consent of Major League Baseball. Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah,  cut that down a little bit there. Cut that down a little bit there. I turned it way low. Yeah. Well,  mute is best, but whatever you can do, we don’t want to rebroad without written or  expressed concern. I don’t know. All that stuff. We don’t have right stuff. You get a strike on  uh you’ll get a strike on YouTube or whatever, too. You know, if we were on YouTube. Yes. Oh,  the Uncle Show is on YouTube. Yeah. Get a strike. on YouTube. Yeah, we will just start talking about  that guy, Kent. We were talking about that. We were in the middle of talking about the baseball.  Baseball in the background. That was just uh a bunch of noise I was making to be funny. So,  there you guys go. Cool. Cool. Perfect. We got it all set up. We love this. We’re talking  uh postseason baseball is what this is. This is talking baseball, but um right now right  now there is there is that game going on tonight. There’s one tomorrow about the same time and and  and to find out who who the Dodgers are going to be playing. They don’t know. So this is going on  the other side is have that same kind of game too. That’s that’s before tomorrow though. waiting to  see what happens. They’re waiting on the winner of this game tonight. Right. Right. Yeah. Toronto’s  waiting. And they said and and Toronto’s saying, “Keep it going. Keep it going. Burn them out.  Burn them out.” That’s what they’re saying. Hey, Sidekick. Yes. Sorry, Uncle Sidekick. Can Uncle  There volume in Uncle’s headphones? That’s maybe too low cuz he’s having a little trouble. He can’t  hear. Um, let’s see. Are you having trouble hearing, Uncle? He’s talking over the callers  a lot. And I don’t think I think we might have to check this. Hold on. Hold on. I don’t know if  it’s Yeah, I don’t want to stop things, but maybe you could just bring his volume up a little bit so  it doesn’t bother him and he can hear the I can’t test the mic. We have to test. I think. Hold on. I  just want It’s hard to I’m maxing out on volumes here. Oh, yeah. But is that yours or his? And is  there a separation? No, there’s no separation. Here’s what I hear. Um maybe you could take one  of your phone off for you and crank it up just a bit more. Well, that’s that’s what I’m saying.  I can’t I’m trying to knob this. I’m trying to do the knobs, but I’m not seeing the knob that makes  the volume go higher. Let me see if I’m missing it because I’m looking across. Okay. So, I don’t want  to spend a lot of time on the knobs, but just try and keep I get distracted from there because I got  something to say about baseball. Yeah, but it’s hard to keep the flow figure that out. Can you  all hear me though? Yeah, just fine. Ken, it’s hard. I think going though. Honestly, I don’t  think it’s any different. I think it’s a Uncle You feel a little excited right now? Some Yeah, you’re  you’re you feel excited to be on the microphone? Yeah. I think it’s just uh too much enthusiasm  is what’s going on. That’s where we’re at. Cool. But I just Okay. I just want to try and fix it if  that was the problem so that everybody could talk back and forth without, you know, having issues.  I’ll try and turn uh I’ll try and turn Kent up a little bit. Yeah. Uh coming from my end,  maybe that’ll help. But I don’t think I have a lot more slack with that either. So, we might not be  able to make him louder, but I’ll try and make Kent a little louder. Okay. That’s cool. Anyway,  sorry. But I know that Kent was having trouble like having you hear him when he’s trying to tell  you something. Yeah. And I want to make you can hear each other. Well, that’s all. So, I had to  Can y’all hear me? Yes. I I pulled off two fixes here without interrupting the show on other audio  issues, but this one I couldn’t do without your help. I’m sorry. Anyway, did the best. Go ahead.Well, okay. Okay. So, it’s 2-2. We’re the We’re in the top of the 11th. There’s two outs and and  Gilbert’s in there. And I I got faith in him. We got two men on base first and second. Two outs.  Who’s up? So, uh it’s very dangerous time right now for me. Who Who’s up? Seattle Mariners. Who’s  up? Who’s up now? It’s been a pitching game. That’s what I was saying that. I was saying  that when I came up saying this is a pitching tool right now. So, what they’re doing is just  what the uh Blue Jays wanted them to do. Keep it moving. Keep it going. Burn out. Burn out. Blue  Jays is just waiting. They’re They’re waiting on us. I know. I know. I know. This is what  they keep saying, though. That’s what they keep saying, though. This is a battle, man. Like, like  it’s been a battle. I know. the these teams like I hope uh you know people in Toronto understand that  either one of these teams that come there next you know Sunday night is going to be battle tested.  Both of us are and here we are. This is the third game that we’re in overtime over you know well  this ain’t news this ain’t news for me. This ain’t this ain’t news for me cuz I just saw the  uh I just saw the uh the uh the Phillies and the uh Dodgers get into one and this the crazy pitcher  screwed up big time for the Phillies and let them watch it on television. So now that that made that  made it a great team. Um it just but the Dodgers right now and I’ll say this and I’m a Mariners  fan. I’m watching my team here sink or swim but uh sink or swim right now. The Dodgers are the best.  They’re the defending champions and they look like it. They’re the best team in baseball. I  don’t see anybody beating them. But let’s see if they if let’s see if the Blue Jays gets by. Let’s  see. Cuz what I’m saw when they were playing the Yankees, they have gave them a game, let me tell  you. I’m going to be rooting on LA anyway because I know they’re going to win. Anyway, I’ll handle  the updates, guys. You talk about whatever you want, but I’ll handle the updates on the scores  as I see them come in. Okay. Okay. And we just about in the 11th in uh we’re at that we’re end  of the 11th now. We’re going to the next inning and my Mariners are at bat. One strike of the bat,  one just one home run can win the game. Bottom of that inning. Tied to two. Okay. So, I got it.  I got a live line on it. So, don’t worry about it. I’ll let you know if something happens. All right.  All right. Okay. I’m just watching, but I’m here with you guys. Um, I I can tell you right now,  Elvis and Hulk Hogan fake their deaths. And uh you know there’s something about the flat earth  and and and sailing out to the island trying to meet him. I think Aussie might have actually  fallen off the flat earth. But there’s there’s conspiracy theories going around about all this. I  just wanted to point that out earlier. Uncle Todd. Well, I was telling people think that uh you know  Hulk might still be alive, but he might be still alive. Well, he might be faking. He’s faking his  death. What are you talking about? Tell us that uncle. What’s he here? We go again with this guy  again. What’s happening? What’s I said that’s what you were talking about. But I’m telling you now,  I just hope that Charlie Kirk’s not hanging out with all of them. That’s all I’m saying. Uh, well,  let me tell you something, brother. I’m still alive. I’m hanging out. Hey, hang out. I told you  he’s still alive, too, man. These guys always want to you bother me. But there you go. And the macho  man. Yeah, he faked his death. Everybody’s faking their deaths these days. Yeah. Well, I interviewed  one one of Elvis’s bodyguards on my show once and uh so did another guy. They said in 10 years I’m  gonna fake my death, so I don’t know. Yeah. Well, you got to have enough money to fake your death  and then enough money to live after your fake death, you know. So, make sure you got the cash  because uh ain’t no turning back. Well, they said there’s this island out there and and and all the  girls are over 18 and you live out there and I suspect that’s where Hogan and Elvis and Azie  and everybody else who dies and goes to heaven is. But, you know, I might take my death one day and  go out there with them and join them. They’re expecting me anyway. Cool. Well, look, if theyand you got the ability to get a seat for a friend, just tell them, “I’ll come along.” But,  uh, I want the, uh, women to be, you know, over 40 and under 60. That’s where I like them. So,the when you when you go to heaven, you’re 33 years old. I know this because Peter Teal told me  this, Uncle, did you know about that? When you’re in heaven, you’re 33. You like that? Isn’t that  good? Good. I know I’m headed but else I don’t know. All those 25 year olds, you know, so you  don’t have to worry about uncle. I mean, all he does raise possible with the Lord. All things are  possible with the Lord, Kent. But, uh, you know, if that’s a reality, uh, let’s, you know, anytime  I I’m I’ll I’ll take the I’ll take the There’s no reality, you know. Uncle, where you where you  going, uncle? I’m 55, an old man. I look like I don’t know. I’m listening to my guest talking.  This is what I do. I listen to my guest talking. You’re s that here talking. Can’t you can always  go back to 33 if you know through God can do that, right? So God can say, “All right, now we rewind  your age to 33.” That’s not a bad deal for me. I don’t know about you, but I’m happy with it. Who’s  God? Well, look, we’re working. Who is God and who’s God? Am I talking about who is God and who’s  God? All right. Look, those definitions those definitions are listen, those definitions are not  necessarily needed here on the Uncle Show because Uncle knows who God is and that’s the end of that,  right? So, you know, it’s it’s his hour and this is the way it rolls. I think he’s friends with  spray cancer. That’s all good. Yeah. Whatever. Here we go. Here we go. Up in the air. Up in the  air. Up in the air. He’s going to catch it. All right. We don’t need a playbyplay. What else?  What else is on your mind? Remember, you’re not allowed to give playbyplays. out. I mean, I don’t,  you know, I’m just goofing around with y’all and uh talk about my team at that. We only got one  out and we’re in the bottom of the 11. Hold on. We got a telephone call. We got to go to it. We  got to go to this telephone call. All right. Who’s on this line? And who’s on the next line  here? Hello. All right. Put Kent on hold. And now I got your next caller up. And there he is. Hello.Oh, hey, Uncle Jimmy. James. Hey, Jimmy. Jimmy. Now, wait a minute, Jimmy. I got something to  say to you. Hey, Jimmy. What do you think about your team this year in baseball? I meant to tell  you this last week, but I could get around to it. And I And I wiped the floor with the blue.  the what? He thinks they’re going to win. Uncle thinks he’s gonna go on to play the Blue Jays  and beat the Blue Jays. Oh, you let me help. They’re in that inning, dude. In that inning,  they may have a shot. They are. Yeah. You didn’t hear what Jimmy James said. So, the first thing he  said was, “Hey, you know, Spven Kent’s talking about waiting a quarter century. He’s going to  have to wait another quarter century because he thinks that, you know, uh, Seattle’s going to get  beat and Detroit’s going to move forward.” So he let you know that right off the bat. You probably  didn’t hear him. I couldn’t hear that because of something’s wrong. It’s my fault cuz I’m a  dim. You playing with these knobs? I’m trying to talk and you’re playing with knobs. You’re going  to not talk for next week. I’m not. Yeah, cuz you keep doing these knobs. Oh, is that is that  how I’m being reprimanded? I’m so stupid and not knowing how to do the knobs. I don’t get to talk.  Well, that’s what it’s coming down to because I’m trying to talk to I’m so inept. I’m such an idiot  that I don’t know how to turn a knob that I can’t even talk. Is that it? It’s what it’s  sounding like. Am I that dumb? Am I that stupid? Well, okay. I I’m going to sit here and not talk.  Go ahead, Uncle. Okay. So, what we’re going to do here is I’ve turned volume up as much as I can,  Uncle. And I can’t do no more. So, it is what it is. Hopefully, you can hear and they can  hear you good. That’s all I got to say. What else you got on your mind besides the Mariners  need to wait another 24 years, you think? Oh, me? No, Jimmy. Oh, yeah. Jimmy. Well,I got something going on now. Uh, well, uh, I’d have to say that, uh, other than that. Yes. S,  quit. Come on, man. Man, quit playing with those knives and push your buttons,  man. What are you doing? You’re causing a car. There you go. You don’t want him  to answer cuz then he’ll be talking. So, keep going. Jimmy, what you got?That’s about it. Okay. Uncle, what’s up? Yeah. How you doing, Uncle? What’s up? Nothing. Hey,  nothing up. I’m just I’ve been watching things. been watching that been the last games all I was  watching was the Dodgers and the Phillies game. I was outside watching it of course but they but  they went into uh I think it was the 11th inning. Was it the 11th inning? I believe it was no the  10th or the 11th inning they went into and the and the pitcher screwed up for the Phillies.But this one, this one looks like it’s going as said as All right. Well,  bottom of the 11th and the score is still tied as I see it. But I think we should uh put Jimmy  on hold. Come back to him if that’s all he’s got for the moment. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And uh  move back Danny because I don’t know what else Danny might have on his mind. I think that was  Danny over there. I’m not confused. See what else Danny Okay, Danny. White to say. Well,  one real one real quick thing, Uncle, others can call in still. We’ll get you in 319-527-5016and we’ll make the ringy dingy noise for you also. So, that’s the number to join this 319-527-5016if you’re hearing us live during the 11:00 hour on the 10th day of October, 2025. There you go,  uncle. And I think Danny is live with you right now. You know, D, I’m I think there’s quite a  battle here with the Detroit uh Tigers and the Seattle Mariners. They’re in the bottom of 11th  and um and I was just chatting with my wife prior to coming on here. We went to a trip to Chicago  and went to Wrigley Field and Oh, you weren’t there. She’s always been more of a San Francisco  Giants fan, but she bought herself a jersey and a Cubs jersey and a hat and she’s all excited for  tomorrow’s game with the Cubs and the Marin. I mean the Cubs and the Brewers. Brewers play. So,  oh, so time for playoff baseball. Can you go to the Mariners game? I mean the uh Brewers game.Um, we’re gonna watch it on TV. Cubs. Oh, yeah. Danny lives in the same state as you,  Uncle. He’s he’s in California. He just happened to be visiting Chicago a little ways back when he  got beat the Cubs. Anyway, there you go. Sorry. Want to clear that up. Yeah. So,  so Mrs. Danny’s excite getting excited about the playoffs. So if if they beat the the Brewers,  they’ll face the Dodgers. So I think Oh, you know something? You know,  that would be a that would thinking about that a minute. That would be a good series. Cubbies.  Cubbies against the Dodgers. That would be a good series. That’d be You know who would  be jumping up and down right now? this the guy that was saying the seven uh the seventh inning  stretch. What was his name? Harry Kerry. Yeah, Harry Kerry. He’d be going nuts right now. Did  you know that? Yeah. Yeah. I I I I wish I could do a Harry Kerry impression, but I can’t. Now,  uh I the first time I went to the Cubs game, I went they’re playing the Dodgers and guess who  was son the seventh inning stretch. It wasn’t Harry Kerry. It was actually Tommy Lassort. He  was the guest singer and then when they said for the Dodgers and the whole place was Bill,  but but they’re laughing and billing. It’s a fun It’s a fun ballpark. Yeah. Wow.Okay. I got an offer. my I talked my wife in that we’re going to try to  uh whenever I got getting close to retirement is to go to every ballpark  in the United States and my my wife’s saw on board. So if we’re in your neighborhood,  maybe we can uh my tree I’ll hook you up to a game. Hello. Somebody’s messed up here.Hello.Yeah, I may take a quick break and see if I can straighten that out because  everything is connected but we don’t have audio from Aaron coming through  uh for some reason. Yeah. So maybe doing telepathy. I I Ican hear it. Not these. Okay, Aaron, can you hear me, Aaron? Yes, I hear you. Yes. Okay. Just took  the audio offline here for like five minutes, just so you know. Uh Danny asked a question or said  something and we had dead air for a bit. So Danny is still connected. You’re connected, but you were  not making audio come to me at all. Well, that was that was my error because I was pressing I’ve been  literally trying to uh get the settings correct over here and I incorrectly pressed a button that  uh or output I something about an output button on the settings and I pressed the wrong one. But  now we hear again. I’m actually testing uncle’s uh headphones. though. I’m actually listening through  uncle’s headphones and they sound louder than the set of headphones I was using, but I don’t know.  I don’t know. Uncle, can you hear through those headphones? I could barely I can hear them. I was  hearing you can hear good. Yeah. As Okay. Okay. As fascinating as this may be to some listeners,  I’m thinking not so much to others. So, uh, Danny, you’re still with us and hear all this, right? Uh,  I’m I’m here. Okay. I’m just double-checking because, you know, something weird happened. So,  anyway, enough out of me. You said something about inviting Uncle to a baseball game the  next time or sometime if you guys are in the same place. You said you take Yeah, I’ll be I’ll I’m  planning on here in the notsodistant future. Not this year, but maybe within the next two years get  to a Dodgers game or and an Angels game. I don’t know if I’m down. You have an invite, my treat if  if you’d like. That’s That’s nice. That’s nice. Yeah, that’s nice. Danny, I appreciate it. Yeah,  be nice. I like that. Yeah, you you both myself and Mrs. Danny. So, there you go. Yeah. All right.  So, I hope nobody’s upset that I was trying to straighten out and stop the overlap on the  audio because uh to me it was uh bad, you know, because you guys couldn’t hear each other. So,  I was trying to fix Aaron tried to fix it. Hopefully, we’ve got it all straight now. So,  uh, outside of the baseball thing and inviting them to a game, did you have something else you  wanted to add, Danny, or should I keep cycling through the callers? You Why don’t you cycle  through the call? Unless you want to do like a Do you have a beer review or a drink review? Nah,  I don’t think they got one of those. We don’t have those. He hasn’t been to the  store lately. All right. So, I’m going to take the initiative. You don’t mind, Uncle? You want  to go back around to the callers again? Yeah, go around the callers. I only have Okay, yeah,  new can join us. We do have uh Danny who we just heard from Spent Kent and Jimmy James on the line,  but I can make room for up to a hundred if you want. Okay, so 100 people could call in. What  is happening to a northern man? Have anybody hear anything about him? I don’t know. I hope  he’s okay. I have not I don’t think anybody’s heard from Robin. Aaron, did you get any emails  or anything? No, I uh I sent that message on Instagram. I haven’t seen a message back yet,  so I hope he’s okay. So, yeah. So, sadly, Uncle Yeah, I don’t think anybody’s gotten  it message-wise. I’ll check to see if uh a likely Canada listener or two is on my stream, but that’s  the only guess I got at how he’s doing. I I think I’ve seen the same. Let’s say what’s it been? Two,  three weeks now. At least two, three weeks now. If I’m correct, over a month since we actually  heard from him. A month. Mhm. Boy, that’s what you are. That’s been long. It’s been a while, Uncle.Oh, what? What did Here we go. if Creative Accidents is around. Uh he often will type in  his chat room somewhere. Hey, anybody heard from uh Northern Man. Uh so I don’t even know Creative  Accidents is around because he’s not in my chat room and I can only track what’s on my So I’ll  go take a look and see if we got a Canada man on there. But you go ahead and proceed, Uncle because  the show must go on, right? Yeah. Yeah. There you go. Just trying to get um let’s listen to  Down Under for a little while. I like his voice. He’s down under him. He’s down under him. That’s  right. We Ray. Well, I don’t think Ry is available on Fridays anymore. What happened? Uh and uh Hey,  Mr. Flash also. I think they’re busy at this. Yeah, I think they’re busy at this time. Both of  them. Gosh darn. I was the ones that were making funny shows. Made my damn videos. It’s a really  different time zone. Yeah, it’s a different day in Australia. Uncle, it’s a whole different day. Oh,  that’s right. Yeah, for real. There’s a time zone problem there. I mean, I think right now  as we speak, it might be Saturday. You mean it’s Saturday over there already? What are you laughing  at? Well, you know, I got to work with what I got here, Kent. You know what I mean? But I think it’sWell, we don’t we’re not Go ahead. So, I’m just up to recognize it might have changed. All right.  There you go. This ain’t the revolution yet, people. But it’s coming. Watch it. It’s coming.  Uncle, you ought to try this pair of headphones that you were wearing earlier in the show. They  seem pretty good. Now, you want to switch back? I I can hear in here, but this crazy things. As  long as we make sure that Kemp can be heard and uncle can be heard, we can Wow, what a difference.  Ain’t that a world of difference there? Is there really something? That time got him fixed. Then we  got him fixed. That’s That’s perfect there. Magic. Only only took 40 minutes. Okay. Yeah. 40 minutes.  The guy that lives down in the Baja. That guy too. Hey, Baja. What is going on? How’s the Baja snakes  doing? And alligators is that basketball? I don’t know. I got some alligators near me, but I don’t  usually see them. Oh, yeah. But, uh, it’s going in the 12th inning. And I’ll say this, Jimmy James  says something about another 24 years or quarter century till I see him again in the playoffs.  Well, I doubt I’ll be around because I’ll be close to 80 years old. So here I am now. I took tonight  off. I’m watching my game rooting on my team. And the guy that is a manager used to be the catcher  back when I was watching back in the day. Catcher right now at Cal Rally. He’s going to be the MVP.  That catcher came from Florida State, by the way. It has changed a lot. There’s rules that have  changed. I remember watching a quarter century ago and after they started losing I stopped watching  and a lot has changed since then. Wow. The way they do with the ends up with lefties and righties  that wasn’t a problem back in the day. Small ball won you game. Yeah. But they try to play a little  small ball. They did the lefty and righty switch in order to put you know opposite hand against  opposite hand because the conventional wisdom was Yeah. But it wasn’t like done like it is today.  Every game I’ve seen, we lost game four because of all that. We almost could lose tonight. I know.  And it’s because of bringing Spriars and because he’s a lefty. Yeah. Super money. The middle of the  order. Yeah. Super money ball. Never buck the statistics, right? Anyways, uh just to let you  know, Northern man might be listening because I see a Canada address that looks like it could be  him. Uh just to let you know. And uh we got one in Germany because I know you always like to know  who’s outside the country. one in the UK. It’s very light tonight on the live stream for me. Now,  there could be other people on other streams elsewhere that I can’t see like Creative  Accidents. I’m hoping you’ll pop up somewhere, dude. But other than that, you know, what can  I do? That’s what we’re working with. And that’s what you can do. That’s what you can do. You know,  I’m cycling existing cold callers unless we get a new one. A new one goes first. We’re cycling  through call. Okay. Anyway, go ahead. Go ahead, Kent. What else you got? Because it’s uh top of  the 12th now. Go. Well, yeah. And and they just move the bases from first and second to second  and third. Sacrifice an out. There’s only one out. So, yeah, that’s what’s replaying right now. The  uh pitching good. Another thing I noticed, if I remember back in the day, you can’t bring starters  in after the bullpen. Correct. Correct. That’s correct. one of the starters, Gilbert, right  now. And I’m very happy he’s out there. Don’t you know, don’t get me wrong, but like I don’t  remember that happening back in the day. No, they didn’t have runners on second and and uh you know,  they make these games go quicker sometimes and like, all right, good. We got them. We stopped  the score. We We’re We’re keeping them. Oh my god. Things have changed though. Things are different.  I’m trying to catch up with it and remember and and how things have changed. But it’s funny,  I’m looking at the manager of the Seattle Mariners and I remember Dan Wilson as a catcher back in the  day when I was a young man at 31, right? Wilson was now he’s an old managing. Yeah. Wilson was not  even a star player. The first time we’ve been to the playoff, Wilson Wilson was yet again,  you know, these guys that become good managers usually are not even I’m trying to tell you the  guys who are usually he was one of the best. He was one of the best catchers in the business. What  are you talking about? All right, if you say so. I mean, this Dan Wilson, are you kidding?  There he goes. Hall of Fame material. He’ll be in the Hall of Fame for sure. Okay, cool. Here’s one  thing I know for certain. Uh, there was no rule against bringing in starters whenever the hell you  wanted. It was just that, you know, there they were primadonas. You could pitch a new pitcher  every inning if you felt like it. But um it’s not something that is recommended. That’s the thing.  I mean, think about what they do with all what they used to do with All-Star games sometimes,  right? Each pitcher gets an inning. They did that for a while. Then they went back to let me take it  all the way through. So, there’s no rule against it. Conventional wisdom was kind of against it at  one point. Top of the 12 really quick, guys. Top of the 12, two odds, bases are loaded. Yeah. And  Torres has just stepped up. Correct. And they’re going against Bizarro. He’s almost like Bizaro,  a great pitcher. Oh, that might be dangerous. That might be dangerous, maybe. So, anyway, a unfolds.  Get back get back with um Dan, get back with um what? Who? What? What? That baseball? the the  guy you want to get back with uh Jimmy I gotta get back hold on a minute we got to get back to Jimmy  for a moment 80 years old that’s a 50ear span we heard that of them making the playoffs twice and  me being a fan that’s 50 years of me being a fan you know just crying and crying and crying because  we we were so starving for something now we finally got it so here I am bases loaded two outs  I was barely uh born when Willie Mays went to uh the series with the Mets, right? And the A’s beat  him. But uh you know, then I had to wait until I was 16 to see them actually win a series. I get  it, you know, and the Subway series was a big disappointment. And I forget if it was 2000. I  like 200. I like the uh that’s that series. Subway series. Out of all the series that I’ve been  seeing, I like that one for some reason because I like them too. Right. I loved everything about it  except the way it turned out because the Mets lost to the Yankees. Yeah. Yeah. Which sucked.  Yeah. Yes. So, tell you. So, we’re here to go in the 13th, guys. So, I mean, or whatever. 13th. You  got to be kidding me. 13 innings. watching sports again like this. It’s been 24 years. Oh man,  mind blogging. It’s just like they’ll be going to the 13th now. My TV’s going still there. Holy  moly. I’m telling you something people. I’m telling you, just like the boat said, keep  it going. Keep it going. Them birds are enjoying it. The birds. The boats. the Toronto Blue Blue  Jays. They’re enjoying hearing this right now, you know, when they come back on and uh Okay,  so I’m happy about that. I want to win this and move on and take on Toronto. Right. So bad,  guys. Okay, you’re getting Uncle’s point, right, Kent? That like his point is the the Blue Jays are  saying, “Yeah, play 20 innings because we’d like to see the team tie or whoever wins.”  Yeah. You know what I mean? That’s what I was saying. That’s what I was saying. But I mean,  they keep on going and going and going. 13 innings now. Either either one might be a little tired,  but we’re battle and we’re on a roll. We’re ready to fight. There you go. So, anyway,  nobody’s making and nobody’s making the main thing. Well, that that’s just Yeah. So, let’s  get Jimmy James back on as requested. Yeah. I want to see what Jimmy say about these Detroit teams.  There you go. What about Detroit, Jimmy? What about Detroit? They’re really pushing it. Well,  Tigers, they just screwed up royally. I Seattle’s coming up to bat, so don’t know. You might get  your way, my he might. So, I guess we’ll see how it goes. But what what are your thoughts? Uncle  wanted to find out what you see with Detroit. I mean, outside of the fact that you think they’re  going to go forward, right? Asking the guy that’s lives in Detroit, he hits his team. You kind of  my uh optimism diminished a bit. Okay. So, what Jimmy was trying to say there, just so you know,  because I don’t think you heard him. No. Was that uh it seems like, you know, the optimism is there.  Did you hear what Jimmy just said, Uncle? Did you hear him or not? No, you didn’t. Really? You  didn’t hear him? Well, I did. I can hear him. I can hear I can hear. What do you say? What do you  say then? I think somebody isn’t listening. Maybe cuz I can hear everything. I can hear everything  through my headphones. I have the volume all the way up. It doesn’t go any higher. It’s on  11. I can’t do anything else. I don’t know. Maybe you missed what he said. Maybe. I know. He’s not  talking clear enough. Yeah, maybe. I don’t know. That’s it. That’s it. He’s not clear talking clear  enough. Okay, the point is that I Okay, I heard him and so did Aaron. So, you know, we’re able to  hear him. We got to figure out what the deal is with you and we’ll figure it out later. But I’m  trying to help you just conversation a little that uh that he was saying that uh you know, he had  greater optimism for the team, then it went down a little, maybe it’s coming back up. He’s going with  the ups and downs of this whole thing and it’s a little nerve-wracking because now 13th 13th, you  know, Yeah. and Seattle’s coming up and they are pretty productive with the offense. So, you know,  who knows? This could be interesting, right? Yeah. Uh but anyway, was saying he’s been on a bit of a  roller coaster with his enthusiasm about his own team. That’s there, Jimmy. That’s right. Right.Yeah. Absolutely. There you go. Okay. Yeah. So now I’m going to show my other team Lions. Uh  the other team, the L My Lions, I feel a lot better about them these days. But Detroit,  uh the Lions are doing good. No complaining there. They’ve been playing good.  Not a complaining on the football side, but uhthe time that first game at the Pack kind of spooked me,  but I don’t know. I got to see them play a real team. I mean, sure, they can knock over  the Bears and the Browns. Whoopdedoo. I They I need to see something feel good about the Lions.  I want to see them be the real team. No offense to Chicago and the Browns.Hey, they won they were they won their division last year. They can be pretty good. I’d saywho won their division. We won our division. I said that. I said that they won. Yeah,  you guys won that division last year. That’s what I said.So, you hear Jay? Yeah, I heard him. So, made this look good first game,  which I don’t know. I’m just saying. Sure, they’ve been the last few games have looked good,  but I’ll wait and see. Don’t they have to play the ners next or something crazy? Who do they play?They play uh Who do they play? Who? Detroit. I stopped paying attention for  a second. Are you talking about the Detroit baseball team or the Detroit football team?No, we’re football. And football. Sorry. Well, lemonade is baseball stuff. It was enough. Uncle,  this is your show. I know. It’s just Take it away. This is the show. And uh I believe I got  a time claim. I’m on for my minute. Uncle, you want me to change some knobs? Wait,  you want me? You can talk cuz I think we’re we’re ending the show. Oh, okay. Because it’s  right now from my standpoint over nine. What do you got? Uh Jim, what I got left is you  got about six minutes left because of the overage and I’m clocking it. So you got six minutes left.  If you want to go to shout outs, that’s fine. The next team that the Lions play, by the way,  is the Chiefs. But go ahead. Oh, yes. Oh, that’s who they play, the Chiefs. There you go,  Jimmy. It’s the Chiefs. All right. Well, go ahead and uh I say end the show. But tell who  was the first caller? Let’s see. Um Ed, double check. Who’s the caller still on the line? Ed,  it was. So, we’re going to put Jimmy on hold and go Danny. Danny. Danny. Yes. Okay, Danny. Santa,  it’s time for shout outdowns, I guess. Yeah, I’m my my shout out is for good baseball and  I don’t have a a dog in this hunt because my teams are out of the the playoffs or the World  Series. Mine do. I think it’s interesting. No offense to anybody, but Detroit almost didn’t  even make it. They almost had an epic fail. They almost have a collapse. But wouldn’t it be  interesting with this collapse? They win tonight. They beat the Blue Jays and they be beat the like  the Cubs in the World Series. If they get that, they’ll win it. They get that if they Oh, that’sjust just a thought. Yeah. Danny, two things to consider though. The 69 Mets were not exactly a  lock at the beginning of the season. One. Two, I’ll tell you somebody else who wasn’t is the  Marlins when they went in. I think it was the Marlins who right out of their expansion year  like two years later world champs. They were. They were. You’re right. That’s the one that that that  point there, Chuck. It came I got to question him. That point there when they won that game. But you  said there, Chuck, with winning it, they get rid of the Marlins. That threw me out of baseball. I’m  telling you, that just threw me out of baseball. Sorry. Owners on that team did not know what how  to operate, did not know how to uh run it, and and they just threw all the good players out.  That was my opinion. They knew how to run. Hey, I know they knew how to run what they were running,  but what they did is they took a championship team and just gave it away. That’s stupid. That’s  stupid. The funny thing to me, yeah, they were the fastest expansion team in major league history to  win like that so soon after being created. And you know how I know that? Cuz before them, the  Mets were the fastest expansion team. It took the Mets from 62 to 69. Yeah, took them seven years. I  didn’t know that. That was part of why it’d be so amazing and such a miracle. Took them seven years  from the crap team they assembled. You know, their catcher in that first year, one of their catchers  was named Choo Choo Coleman. Okay. You know, ser Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But not too often because look,  they didn’t have good players. Funny thing is there was a third baseman on there named Roger  Craig who became a a manager, great manager with the with the San Francisco Giants. But anyway,  enough trivia. Seven years from creation, they won. That was thought to be miraculous.  The Marlins turn around and do it in two and then they dismantled the entire team. I I I can’t see  how that operated. That that made me sick. I just don’t understand. They’re not They weren’t like  the Yankees like they keep on doing and keep on going and they they were not even near like them.  and thought this is ridiculous. But no, they were they did they tossed them away and like  replaced the entire team out as if they were losers. They treated them almost like they were  losing to you. But now but now but now look at them. Not even close to the playoffs. Not even  close to the World Series. You the Marlins. The Marlins I’m talking about. Not even close. I got  you. I don’t even know. But anyhow, um interesting thing here. Danny, anything else you want to add  or are you good for the shout outs this week? You got something else? Yeah. Oh. Oh, I’m just good.  I just want good conversation, good baseball, any sports, great. Uh, thank you for having  me. And thank you for joining in, supporting the network and being a uh continued participant in  these shows. So, next up, you got uh Spent Kent. You ready for that one, Uncle? Okay, Spent go up.  Let’s get Spen Kent’s shout out for the week. Well, I’m g have to mute the game here, but  uh uh we we got the B. We got runners on first and second,  zero outs. And uh it just put one in the air. Either way, somebody may advance. Nope,  they’re not advancing. So that means anyways, here I am. I mean, I’m I’m like two outs away  from going back into the bottom of the or into the 13th inning to try to get to a uh you know,  a playoff game on Sunday after 24 years. So, yes, I’m very dedicated. I love my Mariners  uh 100%. Love you guys. And uh that’s about it. I’m, you know, you get a chance, watch the game.I’ve been watching I’ve been watching him. All right, there we go. There you go. Spent Kent  and he’s waiting on the 13th inning now as many of us will podcast. It’ll be all  over and done. So now that just leaves Jimmy James, uncle. All right, Jimmy, you’re up.Good to hear from everyone. Hope you’re doing all right,  Robin. And and uh good luck Tigers. Hope you’re going to win this thing. But if not,  I understand. That’ll just give more luck to the Lions. It could just it it’s all it’s it all works  out in the end. One way or another, you just want one of those Detroit teams to capture the gold,  the pinnacle, the top of the mountain. Yeah. uh with this with him being even in the playoffs,  they still get the money. H but not as much. But not that’s the other question  was was not as much. And there’s and there’s something about being world champs, uncle,  that Yeah. Well, that that that’s another point of reason. So, Jimmy, nothing else to shout out?Nope. Have a good one, everyone. I do. Take care. There you go. Thank you, Jimmy, for participating,  being here, and adding to the show. I appreciate you. Uncle does, too, and so does Aaron. I speak  for all of us on that. We appreciate you. So, now, Uncle, you’re all done. Unless you want  Sidekick to throw something in or you tell us, Maestro, he can. I shout out the Aryan gods,  which control my life. Thank you, O wise gods of war. I aspire to your greatness. My mere Gemini  dual mind can do nothing but break down into a fit. And I’ll try to be better. But that’s my  shout out. What do you say, uncle? What’s your shout out? That sounds okay. Shout out for you,  right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All love and balance. All love and balance to my brother Aaron  in his time as he takes his time. Thank you, my friend. Uncle, I guess that leaves you to close it  out, don’t it? There. It’s the 385th 85th episode. Yep. It is the end of the show. See you next week.[Music]
