We’re on Rumble and in addition to ochelli.com. So, we got a lot goingon. It’s real exciting. I’m looking at the monitor now. It looks like we’re up and running on all those platforms. So,it’s a good thing. We’re doing a fine job here, Uncle. They’re finally running, right? Not bad, right?So, we’ll see how many people we can get. And here what I got on Tic Tac. I’mgoing over the top. What’s happening over there? We’re getting a lot We’re getting a lotof people. Lot of lot of views on some of those videos, huh, Uncle? Yep. I mean,what do we got? Pretty soon we might be getting money for them. I’m thinking, have we made it to that point already?Getting close to it. But I’m what I’m thinking is to help youout in your shooks that if I could do that and get that started that pull youand get you busy. For those that don’t know. Yeah. Things you normally in addition to doing this online media.I along with my wife also sell things online. We sell we have an Etsy shopwhere we sell um vintage clothes actually and that does okay. We dopretty good with that honestly. That’s not too bad uh for a little bit of extra money. And so uncle’s thinking aboutmaybe doing little commercials through his Tic Tac for our little Etsy shop with the uhclothes and all that. So yeah, we’ll see. But the Tik Tok, we should be talking about that. Well, yeah. Yeah, of course. Our Tik Tokis flying high and it’s going pretty good. Going real good. What I don’t understand why people neverlisten much listens to them. You’re talking about to this or to listen to the tic tac video. Listen to what?Tic tac. They don’t listen. Some people do. Some people don’t. Who’s not listening? Who is this?Well, I’m not going to mention names in right now. Well, well, we’ll let’s discuss a specific success with Tik Tokbecause we we have videos do pretty decent around a thousand to we had onevideo of you doing one of your recipes where you’re making one of your lunches that had like that’s up to almost 8,000views now and a lot of interactions with comments and a lot of follows from it. That did good.I’m thinking the food makes go pretty good. People like food.People love the food. I don’t I don’t get to understand this stuff, but it’sjust going crazy with that. They love that. I don’t get it. And then our most viewed videos, one ofour more recent ones where what it is is I have this cactus in a pot. It’s acascading like sort of long cactus that’s like fuzzy. And what I did was I burnt it with alighter and it burns like crazy. The fire is You want to know how many people got on that? They jumped on that one real fast.That got to be popular, that video. So, it’s it’s it was at 250,000 views lasttime I looked. It’s probably go past 300. It may be past 300 now. It just keeps getting more and more and more andmore more and more. So, that one is I dare I say a viral video for as far aswe’re concerned. So, that’s our most viewed video. know it does decent in terms of bringing people in forfollowers and stuff, but uh I feel like we’re on the right track with it, Uncle It feels that way. Might be I don’t knowif that’s maybe I shouldn’t feel that way, but I do. You feel good about this, Uncle? Yeah, I do. Cuz it’s picking up where Ithought I would left off, but now it’s kicking up more. It’s kicking, right? Kicking more people.It’s kicking people. But whenever we started doing this, this is true. We started this in orange, thistalk show, the podcast. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And now we’re jumping into Tic Tac andgetting more people. You’re just going crazy. We’re jumping right in there. I’m goingto look I’m going to look at the Tic Tac monitor. It looks like we have somebody viewing now. Okay. Oh, we were gettinglikes over at Tic Tac. I’m going to say thank you for the likes.Uh, everyone keep them comingif I can spell right there. Okay, there we go. So, thank you everybody over there on Tic Tac. You’re doing help.It feel It’s fun. It’s fun. Um, uncle, I was saying on my show in theprevious hour, uh, sorry for mentioning it, but I I was saying how I logged intomy old YouTube channel that was the me specific YouTube channel, not the not the uncle one. We have the uncle one,but I have my old account that’s just like essentially like government hour channel.I logged into that for the first time in years. So, I I’m think about maybe making some of my videos on there. Maybea song about that in the first time. Throw it over to it and build that up.Yeah. I mean, why not? I mean, I’m trying to get What I’m doing is doing this show.Mhm. On top of the tic tac. I’m working two kind of operations on my side. You mightas well get another one on your side. While we’re thinking about it, may as well. I don’t see why not. Yeah.So, I mean, we got we got a lot of irons in the fire is what what we do.We promise we’re not spread thin completely. I mean, we probably are, but we’re not completely spread thin. If ifthis hand So, those of you who have the video are going to be able to see my hand. I need to pull up me here so theycan see it. Uncle, here’s my hand. Now, pretend my hand the flat part at the topis a piece of toast. Okay? You see this, Uncle? You following this? Top of the hand is toast. Now, herecomes the butter. Here’s the this little pad of butter right here. I’m going to spread it. I’m going to spread it. Spread. Spread. Spread. Spread. There’sa lot of butter. I just It was a little I don’t know if you noticed, Uncle, but it’s a little tiny piece of butter. I’m spreading. I’m spreading spreading. Now,now at this point, the top of my hand is the that tiny little bit of butter hasbeen spread out through this old hand of mine, and it’s been literally spreadthin. But be that as it may, hold it. thinking of that. We got aphone call. We better. All right, let’s see who this phone is. Cole, you’re on air. Go ahead.Well, this is Jimmy James. How you doing, uncle? Oh, honey. Hi. What’s been happening onyour side of the story?Oh, all kinds of little adventures.Yeah. Well, now we got Hey, you guys were mentioning mass communicationand I have a question on that. I’ve heard that those shortban radios can beheard all over the world. Oh, could you broadcast from that? And is itlegal? That’s a very good question. What’s the deal with that? I like this question and I wish that Iknew the answer. That might be something worth researching. I bet you got to research that. Now you gotsomething him to do. It’s a good question to research that now. Maybe it could be worth.Okay. So, so Jimmy, you’re talking about the shortwave radios cuz I’m not sure whatwe’re talking about. Are you talking about ham radio or shortwave radio?Uh I don’t know if if there I don’t knowthe difference between the two. Ah okay. Well there but I do know Yeah.Oh go ahead. Well I was just going to explain. Look there’s shortwave and longwave radio inaddition to AM and FM. And shortwave radio has a lot of different frequencies.They do tren tend to travel very long. Like if you get a good shortwave radio, we can listen to stuff almost anywhereon the planet. If you have a good shortwave radio and somebody has a decent transmitter almost anywhere. UhI’ve tuned in to people in Australia and um way up in uh you know different partsof Russia and uh throughout the Netherlands uh you know sitting in you know on the eastern coast of the UnitedStates with a shortwave radio. Now, generally, shortwave radios don’t have abroadcaster built in. most of the pedestrian stuff. In the old days, we used to be able to go to RadioShack, andI know there’s places online where you can get transmitters, but uh those transmitters are um youknow, you you need a few skills to be able to operate them, some electricity, and um you know, basically what you haveis a portable radio station that is absolutely legal, you know,and you have to set your own frequency. and shortwave has the most available frequencies all over the world. Um, butit’s certainly not as popular a thing as it once was. Uh, but there are places uhlike there’s a lot of shortwave radios, people don’t know this, in uh Cuba that receive a lot of stuff. They don’t havea lot of broadcasters, but they have a lot of receivers. So, if you, you know, put your signal out there and peoplefind it, that’s all there is to it. I mean, there’s no way to really advertise for shortwave radio or anything likethat. It’s like a it’s like a crazy longwave uh CB radio, you know,except that most people uh don’t have a uh a handset to be able to talk on it. So, you know, for that, like I say, itused to be easy. You could go to Radio Shack and and get, you know, various types of radio broadcasters and youcould even set up a small FM, lowowered FM in your own neighborhood, no problem.uh with very common and fairly easy to assemble stuff from RadioShack. But nowadays, you’d have to hunt and findthe stuff. You’d probably have to learn how to build it. Uh I would have to go and review even even though I’veactually assisted in building some of these things before. And indeed, you could go buy a lowowered AM stationright now and be legally compliant in the United States. But uh if you wanted to be able to be heard all over theworld at this point, you would need a shortwave to do it from a uh you know an analog sort of old school broadcastperspective. Most people have abandoned this though due to the access of the internet. You know what I mean?Right. But is it true that you can actuallypick up that radio with a crystal and not even havebatteries? If that’s true,I think people are nuts not using this. I have not seen a setup that doesn’tinvolve a battery with the exception of one thing. There is um a concept whereyou use like underground pipes and things uh almost as an antenna and receiverand that requires no local power source. Uh but I’ve never seen it uhdemonstrated uh like really effectively over a long term. like there’s no likepermanent thing you can tap into again without power um for a long period of time in thatweird network of like say broadcast from you know the pipes of the world.Um, but it is theoretically possible. And you know what’s funny is that uh youactually know somebody who has a pretty deep uh deep set of knowledge in in that hobby so to speak of like longwave,shortwave broadcasting around the world, that kind of stuff. And you don’t even know it because he never talks about it.Larry Hancock is uh highly knowledgeable on this subject.you should get him to do a show once on it just about it. I bet there’s a lot ofinteresting things about it. Yeah, I’ve actually uh pitched that as something I’d like him to cover. Andhe’s, you know, he said he told me basically once he’s done working on all these projects that he would considerdoing it, but uh oddly enough, he he told me something uh along the lines of he doesn’t reallyfeel like a good enough expert to do a presentation on it. And I promise you he is,you know. Interesting. Oh, wow. Very interesting. Well,man’s probably the like for me the Oh, shoot. Go ahead.No, it’s okay. Larry’s just very humble and realistic and, you know, doesn’ttake the uh the idea of his expertise or doesn’t want to mislead anybody. Hetakes all that very seriously, you know. So, even though I guarantee you he could teach classes on this, hehe won’t unless he’s super confident that he knows what he’s, you know,he’s super competent by his own standards to talk about it.Okay. Well, I find it really interesting andI have a feeling that he’s a long time user, so he no matter what, he used thisthing during the Cold War. that alone he’s got interesting knowledge.Yeah, I don’t want to speak about his background because I don’t want to get anything in incorrect about it, but I’llgive you this hint. Definitely he was exposed to radio operations uh duringhis time in the military. So,yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. Okay. Well, uncle, I guarantee he’s gotpeople would not Maybe everybody’s looking in the wrong direction with like this Tic Tac and uh online stuff andlive streaming. Maybe it’s all about going back to the old stuff and usingthe old radio equipment. I mean, I’m I’m not even joking when I said maybe. Idon’t know. Who knows? It’s possible because go back to these things sometimes.Yeah. Why not do it the old way? Yeah, the old way is good. Backward leaps. I got a question for allof you guys because backward leaps in technology. Aaron will have almost no idea about what I’m about to bring up,uncle, but you’ll remember. That there used to be UHF channels.Oh, yes. And yeah, UHF has been basically, you know,removed from use all the way around, right? Everything is pretty much either VHF or digital over the air or whatevernow. Mhm. Um, but for people that can, you know, it’s hard to find something that canreceive a UHF signal now because UHF signals are being used for something else. Just like the CB uh ban that Italked about, the Citizens Band. Yeah. Was uh a lot of that was adopted used for cell phonesfor tower transmissions, right? You know, so the weird thing is Yeah.Sorry. That that show you just did about that guy that just passed away, MichaelFanni. Yeah. Was he the host of Alternative Views? I don’t recall him being the host of anyof that. He was a professor for years. Kind of a radical left professor, but he wasn’t the host in I just brought itup because I could swear that’s the guy in the 80s and he brought uh up. Well, that’s what I used to watch him on.Well, whoever the host, there was two of them of alternative views and that nameI could swear that was the guy. But anyway, well, I’ll look that up some, but I don’t recall that in parentheses uhhistory. I remember his lectures and some of the stuff he wrote and I found it inspirational, but uh but again, he’skind of a controversial guy because he’s extremely leftwing.Fairly fairly back then. Oh yeah. Yeah. Big time.All sorts of interesting uh media people out there. I’ll call uh there is one thing we kind of jumpedoff off the subject here. Okay. What what do we need to be t covering right now? What do we need to hit?We also Well, I was into the uh Olympics thing. Yes. And I know Chuck want to hear somethings. Let’s hear it. There is this free dancing too for thewomen that they did. They got the gold. The free dancing women won the gold.They did. Okay, there we go. Good job, freancing team. Women’s free dancing team on your gold medal. You bring ithome for the US for us. Thank you. What is free dancing? Oh, cool. It’s the dancingum with just the person, not with you’re talking about Wait, is this figure skating?Figure skating. Okay. Okay. The figure skating. Figure. There we go. figure skating, the freedance version of that. Yeah. Okay. So, uh what it was was watching that andand there was her in this in the seatwaiting to the last person to do it. And it was a theChinese girl was the last person left. Okay. that if she could have, you know,gone over and beaten her, then she would have gotten a goal. But she did not. Itwas close. Let me tell you, that thing was close.It was close. But she pulled it out. The And the US got the gold.The US got the gold. Partner of the other one. See, there wastwo ladies. Yeah. And there were two US ladiesdoing this. And she was there for a little while, the first one, but she gotbeat with another person. I think it was a Chinese girl beat her.This like an elimination thing like you get eliminated as it goes. Eliminate. Elimination. Exactly what itis. Okay. And so and so it was going on back and forth and then came to the lasttwo and it was the girl that got it and the other one and shebarely barely came back and won it though. Okay. It was that close, huh?It was close. Okay. I never seen a contest that close. That close. Okay.But it was they they did win it. Was this on today? What day of the show? Um, the other day, I think.The other day. Okay. I think. Yeah. Okay. So, okay. We’re doing the US doing pretty good.Oh, and hockey. Hockey and hockey and figure skating, dude. Figure skating. They What about Whatabout this the loop throwing in the snow?The loop throwing. They throw loops. No, they throw the uh make them like horseshoes. play horseshoes on us.They they they make designs in the sky just and they go down with the skates.Are you talking about like free skating? Are you talking about like the jumping like when they do like on skis when theygo off the big jump like what is that called? I’m not sure. What is that cool?Well, I know in snowboard it’s called big air and they just have that giant ramp that they go off and they like spinlike uh five times around. I don’t know who took the gold in thateven though I was watching it. You talking about the skiing one? The skiing one. Okay. I I’m not sure who won that.They have other competitions too where they do like uh what used to be called the snowboard park in these old in theold days. They they have one of those where it’s a course with all sorts of different uh obstacles like they haveramps, they have rails, they have like this set of different things and you go down, you do a routine where you dothese different sets of tricks along the course and you’re judged on your entire run.There was another thing I meant to mention. The US girl, she got hurt andyeah, seen that. She had to go in a hospital. Are you talking about the skier?The skier ski. Oh yeah, that was early on. That was one of that was in the first week. I know forsure. I remember that. I for What’s her name? Was it Is it Lindsay Vaughn? Is that skier?I think it was her name. I think that was her. But yeah, she’s This was not her first Olympics. No,she’s like almost or she’s about as old as me, I want to say, which is too old to be in the Olympics.About your age to be quite frank about it. About your age now? Yeah, she got herself hurt. She hurt herself bad.It was how she landed, I think. Horrible. It’s these things when they go down theslide and trying to put it down in the right position. Yeah. They have to put it down in the rightposition. Otherwise, you’re going to have them accidents. Yeah. I mean, they’re going down thehill at like 80 miles an hour or something. It’s just that it’s just that way onskis. And on top of that being the snow coming down and they’re trying to getthis organized thing straight to do it right. It it’s absolutely crazy.It’s tough to pull off, you know. It’s just I don’t know. I mean I I feel horrible for it’s because it’s a badinjury. They were saying at one point like they would maybe have to amputate her leg. It was that bad. I don’t knowif that’s going to happen, but I mean it was I mention that at some point. I don’t know what’s going I just know it’sa bad injury and you know that sucks. That’s you know you don’t wish that on anybody but Nope. There’s a new one. There’s there’sa new one. A chick took a ice skate to the face and got cut up.Oh, by the way, can anybody look up on that thing? There was a skater. I meantto ask him. And and a dog behind him. Can anybody look it up?There’s a skater with a dog behind them. Yeah, there was a dog behind him and hewas skating and on on the no on the on the on the snow.I think he skiing or skiing. Skiing. Skiing and and andmy my cousin was telling me about this. Ask this on the show and see if anybodycan look it up. I mean, see if you can look it up. You’re you’re Okay. So, there was askier skiing and a dog was with him and this was at the Olympics. That’s what happened. Yeah. The Olympics. And it was and hesaw it and said, “Nah, that looks like a roof. No, it’s a dog.”If anybody has seen this, please call in 3195275016. Tell us what this was. I want to hearall about it. Uh, Jimmy, did you see the skiing dog? Did you see the skiing dog? We wentbehind him. Oh man, skiing dog ain’t nothing, man.It’s Michigan. I’ve seen bears going skating. No, I mean you just I just found thatout with my cousin. My cousin told me that. I didn’t see it, of course, when Iwas watching it, but he did. And I said, whoa. I said, “Wait a minute. How can ananimal be doing that behind him?” I snuck up on a bear once in the wildand he was wearing ice skates. All I could figure is it’s just something the DNR did to them becausethey’re really sick people. Wow.There’s so many mysteries to unpack in this year’s Olympics. Uncle, there’s there’s a lot going on.The first time I heard of it, don’t follow them, though. I mean, I never seen that happen. I didn’t even see it,but my cousin said he did. That sounds like something that might have happened. I don’t know. Let’s seehere. Funny. It looks like I’m checking out the streams. We’re still going out on everything. We’re on Tic Tac. We’re onYouTube. We’re on Twitch. We’re on Rumble. We’re on the Ochelli Radio Network. Oh, I should pull up the Ochelli.comchat room. What chat points doing? What? It looks like it’s just chucking the chat now.Yeah, not a lot going on in my chat, but uh Jimmy, there I got some links there to that TV show you mentioned. And uhthe internet archive has something like I don’t know two or 30 hundred shows that you could download off of uh thatthat particular TV show. It’s right up your alley. The kind of stuff I would expect you to want to watch back then.Uh but it was syndicated out of Texas slowly but surely. It started out with one station. It moved all over thecountry apparently. I I forgot about this show. I’ve seen clips before but uhforgot about it myself. But there you go. There’s the TV show. You can download it yourself. Watch it. Ron Paul’s on there. Bunch of differentthings. CIA, covert action, uh, you know, uh, the Kennedy assassination,Iran Contra, all kinds of stuff on there if you want to check it out,Jimmy. Uh, oh, did we? Oh, yeah. I don’t know. I don’t hear him. Where’d he go?Well, really? Oh, yeah. Okay. Sorry, I didn’t hear you. Oh, thank goodness. Yeah, butYeah, but Jimmy, just so just so you know, I put the link in the chat room at ochelli.com for you to go ahead and follow up on that TV show andeverything. Uh, and you can download bunch of the shows off the internet archive. Okay.Yeah. So, was that guy on that show or not? Well, I didn’t find him as a guest in my initial searches, but it would makesense if he had been a guest at some point. Not a host, but a guest.Bobby was. No. Yeah, I used to watch that show like all the time.It just jumped to my mind when you mentioned B or uh UHF. Oh, yeah. And they were a strangeexample of like an organic sort of syndication where they just kept adding cities.So, well, you know, well, examples of things you’re never going to see again.There we go. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it’s all about tic tac now. Okay. So, we’re going to see what’s on tic tac. Weknow that there’s burning cacti in Tic Tac and people really love that. So, we got that going for us.I can’t believe that people like those kind of things. Well, I mean, it’s got fire. It’sexciting. It’s exciting. Short video. It’s kind of content. Videos, too. I’ve been saying that shortvideos. Shorter better. Yeah. Much better than the longest. Well, why don’t we bring this up? UncleChuck had the idea to do a series of videos where we’re talking about tradingcards. Oh yeah. Yeah. And we’re going to do that. In fact, I got them right behind the stand here.Right. They’re in here. I just brought them up the stairs. Some help trying to get them up here. I mean, I loads of them.There’s a loads of them in here. There’s a whole box whole box full. So that’s that’s a what they call thatis a box of content. Yeah. It’s a box full of content right there.In there. It’s up there. So, we’re going to get to work tomorrow and make some Tic Tac videos of your card collection. We’re going to seewhere that goes. Yeah, let’s pull that up and let’s see what happens with that. We can um try todo something with it. I would I thought something would be interesting to do.That would be I got some old old oldbaseball court. I found this one that I showed you. Yeah.It’s a New York mix. A New York Yankee. Oh, that old old one. Yeah. Yeah. I Idon’t That one was some money, let me tell you. Okay. Maybe we could do a series of videos on that one card potentially.Pay attention on the one Clinton. You could do a video of, “Look, I have this card.” And then you could do another video like, “Oh, this card, this playerwas blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.” And you could do another video on, “Oh, I’m looking this card up on eBay. Look what it’s worth.” And youcould do another video on, “Do you think we should sell this card or should we keep this card?” So, you see how the uh,as I said, the box full of content. You see how this works, right, Uncle? Yeah. Yeah. So,I’ve had I’ve had all those cars back in actually in in Florida. I’ve had them.I’ve had them collection for a while. For a while since then. All right. Well, let’s see. Let’s seehow uh how these cards do on camera. See how camera friendly they are and see.I bet you we’ll get a lot of people looking at them. We’re going to find out. We’re going to find out. Be another video.And a guy like me will be interested to see, you know, some of the old Met if he’s got old Mets cards. You know, I I Iused to have a massive collection of just the Mets. Uh and I had all kinds of wild stuff. Ieven had some of the 1963 Fleer cards, which were really difficult to find. I only ever got like five or six of them,and they were all New York Mets, of course. I bought them one at a time from different people. Uh, but uh yeah, and those cards, evenwith a no-name guy on it, are, you know, have been worth money uh always. So, yeah. I mean, cool stufflike you might have cool stuff like that that you didn’t even think of was cool, you know, and then people start commenting. They’ll tell you about thecard or they’ll, you know, try and help you out with it or offer to buy it or trade it. You never know.Could work out. Uncle baseball cards. Aaron. Aaron, did you did you mail methat glass? I have not, but I’m glad you asked. I’m going to I’ I’ve been Where you been?I’ve been Yeah, I will. I will. I And I’m going to I’ll pack it up this weekend. I will. I’ve been too late onthat, but it’s it’s here for you. So, thank you for asking. We will send it.Then uh we uh in a unrelated question, if a guy I knew called the post officeand said all kinds of nasty horrible things, is there any way he can likedelete that and reverse? Well, you there’s I mean there’s allsorts of ways to repent. There’s all sorts of creative ways. People have been coming up with them for ages. So, Iwould say go back to the old uh standbys on that one and just apply it to thewhat’s left of the United States Postal Service. Don’t worry, it’s not going to be around much longer. It’s going to beit’s going to be a subsidiary of Amazon within uh you know, give it uh sevenyears. Within seven years, it’ll be just another property of Amazon. So, for now,not going to get no mail at all. Oh, you won’t get mail. But how old post office? It’s It’s going tobe delivered in those Amazon uh delivery trucks, obviously. Come on now, you knewthat. Your your United States Post Office brought to you by Amazon. Yeah, for real.Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking. Just remember the guy who told you so. Umnot that it a little while anyway. You should know about this stuff. Sadly, I do. Yes, I know more than I hadought to, but whatever. That’s a whole another thing. Uh,I mean, we got to have some way to mail baseball cards if we’re going to mail them. I don’t care who does it really when it comes down to it, I guess.Right. Just as long as they get there. I get I get to sell some of them. Watchout. I’ll be making more money than the public. I thinking than the shirtspossibly if this gets started. Could maybe. Yeah. Guaranteed.

You know what I mean? We’re definitely going to cover a lot. So gonna end up with some weird cards to start with.Are these Allen and Gentters? These aren’t vintage pieces. These are brand new, Chuck. I I was thinking you’reordering like things that came out in the 90s or something. Yeah, it sounds like 90s.I can’t afford Yeah, I can’t afford to uh go shopping for older cars.Oh, wow. It’s It’s just the It’s just the collection that IWhat What’s that? See, I got some desert store. Chuck, if youwant me to send a few packs. Sure. I I had those. I had those, too. I I hadthose, Jimmy.

Call your parents to bring them down.I have to look for them next time back there. Yeah. I have to look for the old Desert Storm ones. Storm. Now, now we’re looking at cards.Norman Schwarzoff card. That’s the one card. That’s a good one. Yeah, they got allthe different like military vehicles like the M1 A1 Abrams. Now we’re in service like that,all that stuff. Very exciting. Wow. Yeah. I remember at a certain pointthose Desert Storm cards actually like they they got expensive before they went bust for a second.Yeah. And uh Yeah. I don’t think they’re worth much now, but for a short time there waslike some super valuable like some weird thing that happened in the printing. So, like certain ones were valuable for alittle bit, but you know, as with most things, I mean, they crashed. Uh, I’m also hoping that somebody promised tosend me some Batman cards and uh some KISS cards, but I haven’t seen thoseyet. You know, they told me they mail them and they didn’t. So, we’ll see. Oh, Batman and Kiss. That’s prettyinteresting. I’ll take it. Is getting into music, man.So many cards. He can’t keep track of how many different kinds of cards they make. All kinds of cards. You know, I Istarted with football and baseball cards. Had bets going and I was puttingthings down, lost like five, 10, and then came back, won about 20 cards. Ijust keep collecting them and they’re just doing it on the numbers. You flip the card over and you have the numberthere. Go by the numbers. Go by the number. The highest one gets them. Mhm.That’s how they did it. That’s how I mean I did it in the in the past. Sounds right. Yeah. You just follow thenumbers. You can’t go wrong. Cards by numbers. That’s That’s the old system. That’s the old way of doingthings, right? Right. So, yeah, we’re It’s going to be exciting to see what we have in that box. I’m excited just thinking about it.So, we’ll do that. Might have to clean this uh tables out though cuz I’ve got lots. Might have to clear it out.We’re going have to make way, huh? Man, make way. Get some of this stuff out of the way. Boom. Boom. Boom.Move away everything that we already have. If you want to get this cards out, that’s what you’re going to have to do.That’s a price to pay. Yeah. Price to play and pay. Pay to play. Play to pay. That’s how it works.This stuff move out of the way cuz we’re going to be doing it here.Right here. Stuff’s got to be out of the way. This is important work we’re doing. Might have to do it on your side, too,probably. Yeah. We got a couple of desks we’re sitting here at. It’s hard to tell on the video, but I’m at a desk and uncle’s at a desk. Andthen the video turns out like this. Look at this great video that we have, Uncle. We made this.Isn’t that exciting? These images. Don’t be surprised if I don’t get a call for some of these cards.Oh, we’re gonna Don’t be surprised. Oh, yeah. They want to trade them. Trade them.Call up to the show. Everybody call up the show and try to listen into this thing we’re doing here.Yeah. Yeah. You can call in. I mean, you calling for any reason, but that would be a new reason. Yeah.I’ll tell you one thing especially would be interesting because he said 88 and 89. And the first thing that jumped to my mind is there was a famous BillyRipken card in the Flare and I can’t remember if it was 88 or 89. Do you knowanything about that, Uncle? No, but I can look in the cards.Thank But what happened is on the bottom Okay. on the bottom of Billy Ripken’s bat,uh, he wrote some bad words. Oh, I knew. And he didn’t realize they were taking picture. Yeah. With his baseball cardthat day and it became a serious like a massive crabecause they were super upset that there was curse words on the bottom of the guy’s bat. Yeah. And it was published clear as day.It was there clear as day cards. H they were there. Yeah. You could see it.The woods, I guess. Yeah. You could see it like on the bottom of his baseball bat. Like youever see a pose when a baseball player’s holding a bat over their shoulder? Yeah. Yeah. And they’re just standing there withtheir hands on the bat, right? Well, Billy Ripken, if anybody looks it up, Billy Ripkentook a picture like that, a boring picture, and on the bottom of his bat was the f-word. Mand uh it it actually said, you know, f-word face. So, and that was just onthe bottom of his bat, just all casual. Some people thought Ripken was trying to cause trouble on purpose and this andthat, but it was a complete accident. He was angry at the bat and wrote that on the bottom. Didn’t even think about itwhen they were taking the picture of him and it became like a scandal.Yeah. They recalled the cards. They tried to get them out and it became a famous error card. later printings, theyput a little black box over the bottom of his bat and it’s obvious like you know that they were blocking out the badwords on the bottom of his bat. Of course. So, who knows? Maybe you have one of those in your pile. 88 or 89.Look for that one. Basketball player from the early 90s where they just found out that thatguy’s rookie cards got the Men Menendez brothers in the background and now it’sworth like a million dollars. Yep. That’s another one. And I got basketball, too. I got themsports now. Even hockey. Hockey cards. Hockey cards. There we go. There’s the good stuff.Gold medal. All right. Well, I think we’re getting toward the end of the show here, so I think we can start winding things downif I’m not mistaken. Do we want to do shout outs, Uncle? Oh, yeah. What do you think?Yeah. All right, Jimmy, you can start. Shout out.All right. Shout out to I don’t know. I hope they find uh NancyGuthrie. This seems pretty crazy in thissurveillance state that we could possibly lose someone.I don’t know. It’s hard to believe. So, I hope they find her.All right. There you go. Savannah got through his mother. In case she didn’t hear I heard that lady. Yeah.Still looking for a matter of fact. This is strange things happening. Yeah. Yeah. Well, thank you.
