GetTheP.com. You listening to the Micro Effect? Yeah, me too. And they go by and they're trying to tune in. They get me one too. The Station. Yeah, then everybody can tune in. Yeah, that'd be great. Welcome back folks. Our number two here on the morning intro report on the deal week deal. Waiting for Mark Cornke to return to the microphone. But nonetheless, here we have about one minute after the top of the hour. That's 59 minutes before, depending on which way your clock is running. And we hope that you're listening at www.themicroeffect.com, tmeradio.com, as well as on the satellite. and terrestrial stations, AM and FM all across the country. I want to remind everybody, we got an interview coming up next hour. We're going to have Ed from the HickoryShedsWest.com joining us. I've talked many times on the air about sustaining yourself at cheaper prices. People are going to be running out of... money or real estate, loser house, you know what have you. We'll be discussing that next hour when I bring and he's actually up here in Spokane, Washington. Okay, so we'll have him up with us here next hour. So if you have any questions and join us join us in the chat room. If you have any questions, we can read that there at tmeradio.com. If you've never been there, go there and visit with other people that are listening to the Micro Effects. all around the world actually, literally. We have people that come in a chat room on a regular basis from other countries that are, hey, what y'all Americans doing over there, you know, and they're kind of exchanging a little bit of dialogue going, yeah, we like pizza too, you know, that kind of thing. Hey, we back with this Mark? The universe it's the world man. Yeah. Well, that's for other parts of the planet. There's no place you can go on the planet and offer a pizza That wouldn't make friends. Yeah pizza dude. It has anchovies. Let's get the anchovies Well, you know what's funny about that is that again I learned a long time ago that if you want to have lots of pizza, I don't like anchovies Okay, we put anchovies on only half the pizza and the pizza comes with the anchovies cooked on half the pizza. traditionally eat pizza. It was a Friday food. Philomene, she made a traditional Italian, what we call pizza. There was no refrigeration. The week, anything that was a little bit of this or a little bit of that big flat, fluggy bread dough thing. And then you threw some tomato paste from that jar you had to use up before it went quite moldy. And then you threw everything else on it. Here's your pizza. And that's how pizza originally came about. So if you have a traditional Italian pizza, they're not even around mostly. The idea was that the cook was in a hurry, it's Friday, I'm tired of cooking for you people. So the idea was if you have a real Italian traditional, like really deep old age Italian pizza, it can be any shape, but usually it's kinda like flood eat. It's more like, because it's still the pizza crust, okay, that kind of dough, but it's funny because usually they would butter it, they'll use the oregano and the garlic on that, and then you spover what is kind of a lumpy bread rather than a nice pie plate like you see like we see here in the US which of course is everywhere on the planet like you said that that design is everywhere now but the traditional is very different in many ways because in some cases you even cook part of the food right into the dough which you see like in pizza or pizza hut does every once in a while remember they do the cheese and the crust everything uh what is it for kosher bread it's probably the closest thing to that really what if you want to see what an old pizza used to be like for kasha or for kosha you know tomato if you guys go to a giving the dough and the other thing a time to cure as Friday comes along electrified countries and was one of the last. Wasn't the only one not to be electrified for a long time because the farther you get to Eastern Europe the less electricity there was. Most all their food, their cuisine comparable cuisine would be like with Korea for the same reason. Poor people figured out how to make their food last, you know, how to make it survive. And the most common thing, I've always thought about this, who are the people that could get along the easiest in the world? My logic is the Thai's, the Korean's and the Hungarian's. Now why is that? Well think about it. Well think about those three restaurants and think about what kind of food they serve and think about the fact that only crazy people go to eat there, right? You come to Thai restaurant, you gotta be ready for a volcano. You go to a Korean restaurant and they smile and don't tell you about it being a volcano. You go to a Hungarian restaurant and buy something that's so hot it'll eat the top of the roof of your mouth off, right? So I figured those three groups of people should get along just fine. If nothing else, because they can handle each other's food. That would be a unique alliance of over the planet, wouldn't it? Yeah, the infamous Korean. The Hungarians. Acid for blood, man. Acid for blood like aliens. I guess there are a few other countries where you can get hot, but maybe they could include the Spanish in there on the side. Okay, maybe. And the Mexicans? Well, yes, because the Mayans. Well, their whole culture. Interesting thought. Food? Yeah, I'm getting y'all hungry, I hope. Are you ready for a Thai breakfast this morning? I am not. A little more kai sauce at your cereal, eh? Which country would we be in with milk, sugar, and eyeballs or something? Yeah. Well, that's pretty much anybody that's starved. I mean, if you think about it, China, yeah, North America, absolutely. Most of the European cuisine eyeballs are in there. Actually, for a different reason, though. Am I in the Middle East in about three inches of... That typically is, by the way, part of the wedding cuisine. I can't wait. And the frame about 50 to 70 eyeballs are staring back at you, but don't worry, the centers are poked in with... My mouth is watering. Oh, it's just the thought of that crunchy inner core, but getting to it through the soft outer wishy... Oh my God, what's that? Don't worry, it's dark in this room. It's great. Those were great. How do I know these things? Well, I have done too many weddings, and some of them quite traditional, I'm telling you. Well, because my mother... Yeah, so you can see into the future. What it's like to be looking through a go-tire You know what's funny is it's you see the choice of different societies here in Apache Oh We need me laid out and then cooked in the olive oil. You know the one that bothered me was the one that went Yeah, that was one off to the side there and everybody seemed to avoid it for some reason. Yeah, it was reading dude Well, this is really important stuff to be bringing. Well, I just remember painting pictures. See, people understand, you can paint imagery on radio quite well, and some people don't necessarily like it. Oh my god, how could you do that? Well, starving or Godai balls. Starving or Godi... See, that's the thing. Most Americans have never really, truly been hungry to any degree. See, the truck stop showing up, it's going to be fun to see how people adapt. I'm not talking about Godai balls, but most of the cuisine that Americans these people don't have a clue about anymore and it's gonna really be a problem because it's gonna be what's available. Like I said, if you really wanna, if you're a prepared, if you're a person preparing out there, guys, you buy a case of sardines and a crate of oatmeal for one reason, your neighbors. Does everybody understand that? You buy a crate of sardines, buy a case of sardines at least. Now you can get them at the dollar store, mark, and immediately, Joe, I'm sure people are going, no mark, mark, Marcus got radiation from Fukazilla! And it's like, well, what's your point? I'm not gonna be eating them. See, when the neighbor comes up and does this, I'm your neighbor that never talked to you before, but I was a nosy person and you look like you're preparing, and I am hungry. Now you gotta have a rule here. What you do is you get a couple slices of mildly stale bread, and you take some, you layer it between, and, We've also got to remember that old trick with the Mexicans when they're hauling stuff that they don't want people to look at. Take a big bite of an old Vidalia onion off for a second. When you come to the door, yeah? Fucking something. Hi, how you doing there? Oh, I got two things. In fact, you can have half of my sandwich here. It's mustard, oatmeal, and four-week-old stale bread I got from the store before everything shuts down. With some anchovies. You can have half of it. I can eat that? You see, because when they came to the door and did the You know what they're expecting they're expecting you to walk up and give them that brand new shiny MRE that fresh bottle of Perrier water Yeah, a piece of apple slice of fresh apple pie that you did took all the time to cook with all the stuff you had prepared You know in your preparedness locker. So instead it's like well, I do have stuff to share I mean you could you basically this is what we got I got some old onions, but they're still not they're not they're not moldy or slimy yet. I got quarter pound of old rolled oats you'll have to cook it and I got some sardines in mustard sauce is that good now I do have a few little cans of the baby squid in spice sauce and by the way they make those guys well there you go now you're standing there holding a couple slices of demi moldy bread real dry with a slug of oatmeal in between it so you're not offering them anything you're not eating You'll find it after a while. Now, you sit this way. Stop. Stop. Just stop right there. I have to eat it first. Oh, you just nibble on it. You gotta remember it's pops. It's like Hollywood. You can even have a piece of bubble gum in your mouth. It won't make any difference. You gotta have a couple bites out of it though, because you gotta remember how people think. The rat in front of you will be looking at you and looking at your sandwich and looking at you. And then they'll look beyond you like, there's gotta be something else. And then they'll look at your sandwich again and they'll kind of, well, they'll look their lips, but they're really, they're still in the I deserve better real mode, right? Now there's a problem with this theology though, is you've already told them that you have something. Right now, they're expecting McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut in an MRE pouch, and Perrier drinking water. They didn't have any water even on the shelf, but they'll expect yours. The other thing is to perhaps have kind of like some, you know, like take a little bit of a pot of booze and warn because you found it along the road. They've got water too if you need it. Make sure they can see it and look at it. It's a little, I got it from the gutter over there, but we strain it mostly. That's what we use. If you want some, you can have some, or you can go get your own from the gutter. Now, the problem is this, in week four, five, or six, they'll turn their nose up because they're still expecting the pizza. Okay, or they're still expecting, but then there's that knock about a week or two later. Have you still knocked? You see, after a while, stomach will start beyond. Now it'll be, and back at the house they came from, they've already been eating cardboard. All of a sudden the sardines will sound a lot better. But then you can, what you do, I had a bunch of it and the other guys in the neighborhood here took most of this. Now you didn't give it to anybody because nobody, but when you show up at the door this time, you just have a crust and you make sure you take a couple pieces of potash and you put a little black mark in each of your cheeks so they look a little sallow. And don't look, don't look happy and don't look healthy. You might even want to take your finger and a little bit of potash. You're just a little dusty, but you got to look a little gray. And you don't look real good. And then you might want to cough a little too while you're chewing on that crust. And then you can offer them a half-opened can of sardines. It's the only thing that's left. There's a little bit of a mold there. You can have these if you want them, man. Most people, if you like me, it'd be like, how much mold are you going to have? And how many sardines? I learned a long time ago, you better get what you can, why you can. And if it's free or cheap, it's that much more life. Look at these ass! Well, what are you going to... Yeah, you're going to get hungry enough you'll eat the rear end out of a pasta. the problem with the ones you're facing? You know why I say this? Let me point something out. Have any of you looked at the new military menus? Joe, have you looked at the new military menus? I have not. I could not believe the cuisine of these. I mean, we don't have, it used to be it was a big deal, we had six menus, guys. How many of you guys ate C-rations? Okay. There were maybe at any given time about six menus, maybe eight. If you had two cases of C-rations, you would probably get, you'd get multiples, but you'd get all the flavors you could get in the NC rations. When MREs came out, it was a big deal that we actually had, but today there are so many goofy off-the-wall menus that, well, if we just don't get that kind of food, I can't be an army! And I'm thinking it's like, wow, this is Far Cry from World War II. Have you ever seen what a K ration really was, guys? Have any of you ever opened up a K ration? Whether they call them K or... back in World War II. Have you ever really looked at the menu? Have you ever looked it up to see what the troops ate? And Spam, by the way, was part of that. And if you said, Spam, Spam was part of that menu, guys. Now, today, you'd have all these characters turn up there and go, I can't eat that. So here's an example of even your quote unquote, Victorian guard and how we've had to desperately satisfy the mind of the, of the, this, this On the Russian army side, they were excited about the idea that they had two cans, guys. Two cans of food, two flavors. They had red cabbage and they had green cabbage. And then they got a chunk of stuff that you would use. Now, they called meat? You're not exaggerating. You would call it lard. You're equivalent to a kind of a spam thing. In fact, I know a lot of Russians to this day that grew up in that era. That's why I have to laugh when people say, well, just roll over these people. Well, you know what? You know how this lives. You know what kind of people your dealer was here? and they don't have a whole lot of fear of seeing that's the part that really perhaps the brains are all you will look at our technology that really will have to battle survival and you're not ready for it. Here's something you're not ready for. Uh oh. Now while you're talking, I found this article here about a discovery program is keeping some of the details for the moment but has released a couple of promos. We're told that Rosalie covered himself in pig's blood to make himself appetizing to the snake being an anaconda. Since the snake is a proof suit, he's got a snake proof suit on, has a cord at the top of it, Rosalie is presumably pulled back out of the snake's mouth after being eaten by the snake. They were also being told of the snake. Does not die. I just wish what support says man. You know what will people not do? No, but they're frustrating the snake drama. How can they allow this? Yeah, where are the pet protectors or what have you? Well, I think we're skeptical in case you're skeptical a discovery representative assures you that the announcement is not a hoax eaten alive has been filmed and will air Sunday December 7th One of the major broadcast networks was quietly developing a very similar eaten by a snake special that you're titled Manaconda that never made it to the air. It sounds like they're getting desperate to try and play gladiatorial Roman sports. You know what I mean? I mean really, is there anybody out there listening that has a desire to be eaten by an anaconda just for, oh I just want to have the experience. Yeah, I know everybody out there has never been done before. They're gonna tie a rope onto your leg, right? And while this intercom is crushing your bones and everything, you know, get everything to fit, you know, I don't know, where do you go from there? Jesus. Well, the shark episode, you mentioned sharks earlier, the shark episode is really much shorter. They did tie the rope to the guy, but there's something about those rows of teeth that just, he gets the purpose. Yeah. You have to wonder what the hell people are thinking, man. Well, you brought up something else. You guys, what you see in movies, as opposed to the real world, is, remember, there is a reason that the snake is coiled around you, and what the snakes, snakes are nothing but one big, long muscle. That's it. And they want to make you fit inside them. Right. Now to do that, they want you to be kind of limp and dead. And to do that, they wrap themselves around you. And then while they're wrapping themselves around you, like you said, there's another part of that process that you can hear while you're being wrapped by them, but you don't hear outside, although maybe you do on occasion. They don't want the pokey bones in the way, so to speak, and some are longer or bigger than others, and you're getting a little embarrassing. So while they're squeezing, they're picking places to squeeze and go, not a place. I don't know, do you think this is something they practiced in times of, I don't know, Egypt or Noah or something? We didn't get a report on it. Well they did, but there was no rope attack and they didn't get the guy back. They didn't care. Hey, what are we going to do today? That's Friday, isn't this television day? Yeah. Okay. Okay, go down to the pool. We got that anaconda ready? Yeah. Look at what the world is turning into, okay? You have, what do they call that mixed martial arts, where you're getting a cage with a guy and you just do it out. Blood, there's no rules, nothing, they don't stop. Oh, that's traditional knuckle boxing is what it is. But it's just the idea of it. And people go like that at a Roman arena, they go to pay to watch that. And now over here you got guys getting eaten by snakes. I mean, really, how insane does it get? Well, stay tuned, folks. It's still coming. Somebody else's creative idea of being seen shooting on YouTube or maybe even mainstream television. I'm sure that... ...teach people to build things... Mark, do you remember when they came out with those... there was five films, Face of Death, I think it was called, where they were real live footages. There was five films. You read it five films for five days for five dollars. And what it had was, I really didn't know what to expect, but it was people who did some extremely stupid things and they actually recorded it. One was a college student there in Ohio. They were celebrating his birthday. This is America's finest, right? It was his birthday and they're all standing on top of a, I don't know, it must have been like a six or seven story building, apartment building, and he's going to bungee jump. Well, they didn't have any bungee cords, so they just used rope. Okay? Now, he doesn't dive, you know, like when you see bungee jumping, you see a crane or a bridge or something out there. So there's no objects close by, so when that thing snaps you back, you don't fly into the wall or something along those lines. So here this guy, this is just one of them that I remember very distinctly. So here this guy, on his birthday, they're all drinking beer and they're standing on the edge of the roof, yeah, baby, go, go, go, go. And here's all his college friends telling, go, go, go. Well, not, I already knew it wasn't going to work because they were using rope. But even though they were just using rope, he had just a sliver of a chance. But somebody forgot to measure the rope. So when the guy just headfirst, he dives off the building, yeah! And of course there's somebody down below there filming the jump. And as he landed in that shrubby bush, oof, that's all you heard. He was, he had plenty of rope. He could have kept right on going. And this is America's finest. You know, other things that, you know, tricks that people, you know, like some guy, he's a magician and he's got a steel ball with all these spikes. And it's a burning candle on the rope, you know, that kind of trick. And he has to get out of his chains and all this. And then all you hear is, oof. and he just gets this big steel ball sticking out of his head. You know, people, I have to share with you. I watched all five of those films in total amazement. But what I felt when it was all over with was a total disconnect from anything concerned or we would consider to be a reality or warm and fuzzy. It was just like, I felt like a death culture, you know, like, Wow man, this is what people... and now you have, I don't know, people being eaten by anacondas, you know, pay to go down. Tell me how mankind is evolving. You know, where are we going here? Just think about it for a second. And it's not over yet. I mean, this is just the latest in the grid. Hey, I had an idea, man. Let's do a film by somebody being eaten by a big snake and we'll tie a rope onto their legs. To be all the other things you like mark was describing crushing bones You know I'm sure there's nobody there with enough experience to say hey man when it swallows your head Be sure to you know hang on to that oxygen hose or something But yeah, but I can assure you there's no experience I've been eaten by snake people standing around to share their experience. They sell t-shirts. Yeah, there's two or three of them Yeah It's incredible. Well, it's part of what we call LOH, loose operator head space crowd. That's when the swatch back in the years is too great because there's not enough gray matter to fill the space. Right, and it's just swishing back and forth. You've got operators know what I'm talking about? They're all loose operator head space. You mean a failure of the weapon? No. It's incredible. Well, the thing about it is what gets me is, like I said, we're teaching people how to build things. We could be doing things that are quite exciting and dynamic and lifting up society. How many people in the world would we consider the person that got ate by the Anaconda and survived a valuable asset and encourage youngsters to do the same to make money or something? There was a whole team of actually 11 and 9 year olds who were watching who are part of Team Snake and that's what their job was to watch and prepare to be the next people eaten by Snake team. And so they're there and they're all watching and one or two of them are going to anger to death. That's crazy. Well, my wife can't bring me here. This guy's crazy. Well, how twisted would you have to be? You know, I'd like to see the numbers. Okay. Well, man, billions of people tuned in to watch this guy you need my snake. Well, my problem is, it's kind of sad. I mean, you know, it's, you know, like, kind of a bungee jumping thing. Remember when they got the idea for that? Mortenets, Wild Kingdom, there were a couple others around there over the years where they used to go. Remember it was a guinea and they got their early dealers noticed compliments. Which one? They would go out and actually do the tower every year and part of the right of manhood is they would do like the equivalent to bungee jumping where they would take vines and they calculated the drop so that they had to hit head first, remember that? Right, exactly. Yeah, that's where the whole idea came from except, well guys, you might notice the natives got their act together, they know the length of the vines and they also made sure they dug the sand up and then you wanted to have to keep just fast enough to hit with your head but not where you can act. And just think those college students that even had calculators. Yeah, they had calculators in a real world. Alright, we'll be right back folks who are down here at the bottom of the hour.

I don't know, intelligent decay, moral decay, societal decay or something we're putting on television, people being eaten by snakes or what have you, consider that as entertainment. And you have to know in years past, you've heard about it, you've heard about it. Kids will emulate or imitate What they see on television? They'll they'll do it man. So, you know, we'll watch the show and then a year later you know this kid and you know in a whole Pizzarino, California something whatever Saw that on TV and thought he'd give it a try Yeah, you know, he wants to be famous too, but what they Didn't catch You know, you have to wonder how much money is offered or paid to the guy who's actually gonna get eaten by the snake You know and and what will you do for money? fish heads and rice and why? It was a lot of money in those days. Let's go to Donald Ohio and see if he would be willing to be eaten by an Anaconda. Good morning, Don. I wanted to bring up, have both of you, to silence being able to do what I'm being attacked in a fire wall. They can't really attack my computer. of what I think, tell me if it makes any sense to you, if they're attacking me outside and I'll get the web outright being an- I don't have any. Well, the thing is, yeah, they could be doing that, they were the chain program, the way it's, you know, some backdoor or at least a mechanism of some kind, some backdoor or side, sidebar, where you've got, you know, for years, in fact, everybody saw this and didn't think about it, it was the best way to explain it. You're in the class, King, that the clock would turn turn to 3 o'clock so that everybody could leave the classroom in second grade. Then you're looking at the clock and the clock goes nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn When you look at it and you go, I'm curious about that, well how does that work? Well, I didn't know until later. It's like, well guess what? The signal is piggybacked on the power line. Reset itself. The power line is a separate piggyback to the power supply. You don't have to hook up a second line. In the clock, this whole clock system is run out of the main office, dial office, you know, in one box and they just hit a switch and timed and it automatically recycles and processes the signal out so that all at the same time again. Just in case some are slower than others because where they are, they're mechanically isolated. The same is true with what they can do with piggybacking a signal, but it's very specific. If it's piggybacking or they're doing something like this, it is an aggressive software attack of whatever kind. And we do know that there's a whole bunch of the idiots out there doing this. I mean, there's a whole bunch of people our tax dollars pay for to do nothing but this. What you can do with Apple, well, we all know what Apple just did and what they financed, right? Well, I spent three and a half hours on the phone with them and then it turns out well they get the problem but they want to charge me. It's not a dysfunctioning of my or malfunction of my computer. It's just like you were describing. Well, when you say signal, what do you mean specifically? Okay, I'm online with you right now. Okay. I'm using Time Warner. Okay, that's the company that I'm using. Time Warner Cable and I'm getting all of my services through that. I spent a half an hour on the phone with them, and a half hours with Apple last night. Believe me, I was picked about it, and I knew more than I was being told. And I said, you record all this, because we're going to go to court. You were a participant, hacking of my signal. The attack on my computer, I've not authorized you to allow anyone to do this. So on some level, you should have an interest at the company. You should have an interest in what I'm saying, okay? Oh, they want to charge me. I'm being criminally attacked. That's like going to the police and they say, okay, pay $10,000 and we'll investigate this. Well, we'll investigate. I mean, it's insanity. When people are dumb enough and or think that something is in a very... Well, you know, I have to share something with you, Don. I'm going to be very frank. I could give a... I couldn't give a crap about computer services, computers, because I think I could live my life without a computer if it was necessary. So, you know, I'll tell you what, I want to just cut this off right where it's at here. I appreciate your call. Thanks for calling in. Let's go to Bill in Texas who is online too. Good morning, Bill. Good morning, guys. And like, so we moved into this new house and in the back of the garage, I don't know, and these things were like 25 years old around there, a little less. Didn't taste that bad. Good flavor. No, my point is that, you know, here's the thing is for me, So it's funny because there was maybe one or two fles you had basically. You had turkey chicken. It was just simply, as you usually say, in gravy or in the sauce. And it's just like when you have stuff you're buying on the shelf. You know, you have sardines. I joked about the sardines, but it's sardines in mustard sauce. You know, that kind of thing. The menus are very simple and they were very, that's why, you know, the big thing was, today, that's what we call your, your expecting chef. Well, that's why the guy who knew how to cook out of his pot, knew how to cook out of the mess kit, the favored chef of the unit, they could change the whole idea. Yeah, exactly. A handful of spices can change the world. And we try to explain that to people that just carrying a variety of what are considered to be ethnic spices. And everybody goes, Mullabark, what do you mean by that? It's like, well, cuisine. What makes up the Italian cuisine? You can actually buy an Italian flavoring nowadays that's spice mix. And it's Italian. And then you can get another one, and it's Spanish or Mexican. And the idea behind this is that whatever you've got in there, it's probably got a neutral flavor. It's one flavor fits all. How do you make that different? What do you do? Rice and that one flavor of whatever and then the spices. Today I'm going to have Mexican. Tomorrow I'm going to have Italian. The next day I'm going to have boiled European, which is plain. The way to think about this, how do we change it up? And that's what the guys used to do. I mean, I know this is weird, but the two that I liked, I got used to Christmas meals. Because we got stuck with a whole pile of Christmas meals in the middle of summer. eating because I love those sea ration fruit cakes. They were tasty and it was all, and I lived off that. And so for me it's like Christmas, everybody else's Christmas meal and turkey, the turkey. It's like, well let's see, which would you rather have? You know, now what did you do to change it up? Well here's another thing. We're talking about like, it seems like we're de-evolving and I never was a big fan of this band called Devo. Saw an interview with the main guy from the band. He got the name of the band because he says like we were de-evolving and he was going through all these examples. That kind of stuck with me and then you go like 15, 20 years later and you see people branding themselves and poking holes in themselves and they don't comb their hair. I mean it is like a group of people are de-evolving. Exactly. And it's like, no man, they're making a statement. No, they're being engineered in a direction. But the main reason I called is the freeze dried guy. I got their newsletter has their monthly special wear meal is $25 off normally 164 and now it's 39 when you round it off and they have the chili $2 and saving and then they have the Thanksgiving fest 2.27 and that they're all from what it looks like. It's interesting but freeze-dried guy originally as they pointed out green ration left And I noticed that nobody's been accepting those recently and I haven't really had those. Yeah, that's a gone commodity. Yeah, and it's not like they don't use them still. It's just the I don't know whether they're remember they're doing because freeze-dry each size cans, you know, the big peach with a high C can or number 10 can really where the Mountain House comes in there's this number 10 can but yeah, if you go they've got the three square meal units one case for a hundred and thirty eight ninety a fall chili special one case hundred and 6913 and the Thanksgiving feast there you live in the lower 40th. Yeah, and that's dice chicken dice potato or two would have just died for that meal actually have that coming out of a can we don't think about that like you said you talked to anybody who's around World War two guys now in fact there's one thing to remember they'll same thing if they got a meal like we quiet you wonder why it was a deal before they and it's like oh boy when I worked in television actually you know when they were shooting the war these heads communication things were in the expression we used when somebody screwed up between the headset so when somebody does something so short between the headset he was a little strange right now he's not doing any orders from the command post so to speak sir yeah or he wasn't listening yeah who do you recommend for like 80% lowers nowadays oh right now well pretty much everybody is buying from the same I mean from two or three companies they may put their logos on them attitude on that is find the best price that's why I buy from run there's a meeting I got to go to Otherwise again, the big thing is grab them while you can because up and down. I know the enforcement guide and cheaper than dirt have been offering them now, but they're little pricier than other locations, but they do have them and they've got them with the jigs. Appreciate your call, Bill. Thank you, sir. All right. Thank you. Thank you. All right. We got another caller on line one. We got Hubert in Tennessee. Good morning, Hubert. Good morning, gentlemen. I'd like to also say hello to Ron and Arkansas there. I hope the situation is getting better. I'd like to give Mark a heads up on this afternoon program. When I call in, I service and the first one put me on hold, calls in for about two weeks. I never do make a connection with you, Mark. Oh, that's weird. Usually, if I'm first, usually it'll just put you on hold and you'll be able to hear. I mean, if there's nobody there, there's nobody there. You gotta be patient. If you're there ahead of time, by even a minute or two, it's gonna sound dead to face. Talking about doing that, remember, with a couple other projects, too. The best thing to do is experiment and try this this afternoon. And if not, disconnect, call back in again and let's see what you know. Again, give us a heads up on what you heard. Alrighty. Appreciate it. You gentlemen have a good day and we're on the side. By the way, before you take off, what's the weather like there in your neck of the woods? Sun is shining and pretty warm. Oh, you rub it in. Yeah, my actually my parents are living down your way now They moved up from Florida again. We don't even want to talk to you anymore. Yeah, you do tonight the weather there. Well, we had plenty of rain yesterday. Where did you go? We're starting to get some spitter even as we're speaking on the air here. I'm looking at the windows are getting a little wet So we got that fall soapy, you know, not real hot rain not real heavy rain. So don't show you Yes sir. Yeah. I hear you. Where did your friends move to? Oh no, they were a little farther north. Right up in your net, but they're on the ridge where you are now. Actually, it's funny, they've moved over to another straight up and down corridor here, where my oldest brother is closer to him. They're over down south, south of Nashville, to the stop end. We'll be back down that way as a matter of fact. You might be surprised because we've got a trip to make down to Carter'sville, Nashville because we've got some people there that are in your backyard. So I probably will take you up on that. You let me know and you're welcome anytime. And Joe. We'll eat sandwich and maybe some olive flavored soda pop. Something else. Thank you, Hubert. Well, we're talking about exotic cuisine this morning. I've always wanted to try olive flavored soda pop, but nobody will make it. No, sorry. Thank you, Hubert. Thank you, sir. It'll be green olives. It's got a little more of a bite to it. There you go. And by the way, if everybody goes, that sounds crazy, really? Well, how about jalapeno jelly beans? You know what I mean? Have you ever tried the gourmet jelly beans? You know, they got all the exotic flavors, right? Actually, no. And then they, well, up here, that was a big thing. You know, we got several jelly bean companies, and they make these little tiny jelly beans. Everybody's seeing them, and they're really fantastic. All the flavors are just great. They got blueberry and boysenberry and guava. And everyone has a color, so if you know the colors, you know what you're getting, right? So I'm supposing the jalapeno would be green. Oh yes, it's a bright green, as a matter of fact. So you shouldn't miss it, but you see the problem is they didn't tell anybody. And then they made these jelly bean mixes. Now one of them that really throws you off, they also made a peanut butter jelly bean. Now peanut butter's okay if you know it's peanut butter, but if you're tasting all like this, boysenberry, and then you throw a peanut butter jelly bean in your mouth, it's like dirt. Oh, it's okay, it's peanut butter, it's good. Then they threw something into the mix with the, and especially when they're doing the mixed jelly, they threw the jalapeno jelly beans in there. Well, you do find them eventually. Yeah. What was that? And they were real jalapeno juice jelly beans. So trust me, all the flavors are very rich and robust. And those jalapeno jelly beans, well, the expression on people's faces are quite unique to say, let's say it can't be done. It's already been done in the food industry and it will be done again. But the other one I could said, I'm serious, I used to buy these years ago, we have like special food, everybody has special food places somewhere, or used to. And I used to buy these, just picture instead of some little baby squid, half the width of the cat-like sardines, back and forth, back and forth, inside that sardine can. Special thickens and eating, you could do a little rice, some noodles, some baby squid with sauce, I eaten there kids, I'm telling you. Hey, hey, you never know what kind of field ration you're gonna get hold of, don't you think you're gonna be fighting Chinese? What do you think their menus are like? Well, they probably figured they're gonna be eating your food anyway, so say the least. Just imagine what you might be real o- We're gonna eat tonight! Capture the Chinese food depot! This fish has box over here. What's that mean? Uh, I think it means fish does. What's this limit? Babies squid and sauce? Yeah, that's baby fish. Uh, yeah, that's babies. Yeah, okay, what else? What else you got there? Well, there's something else undescribable. Okay, everybody's going for that box. You better be prepared, because just because you get food doesn't mean it's something you're going to recognize as first on the list of things to do this week. But when you're starving, it's amazing how you can get over that, that, that, that, uh, sh- flavoring real quick, guys. Hungry enough, you'll be able to choose, remember? These two just used to show you that. And soup! And what would he pull out of the, what would he pull out of the pot there, guys? A shoe! Yeah, whoa! We're having beef! People don't know about starving. Really think about it. But plenty of examples that are part of even the old celluloid. that can remind people of what things could be like quite easily. In fact, they aren't even now for other people. It's just not you experiencing it. Be prepared for that. Put some of that little baby squid on the shelf along with the sardines. And don't forget, two or three five gallon buckets of dry oatmeal. Neighbors might be hungry down the road. Don't feed them. It just means they probably won't come back. We are at the top and by the way, 208-935-0094. Again, 208-935-0094. If you could take the time, donate to the Micro Effect. Let's not forget to do that. And we do have a guest coming up next hour, do we not? Yes, we do. Ed from hickoryshedswest.com will be joining us here in the next hour. There we go. And we're at the top, Ben. It didn't take long and for everybody out there again, if you think you got it bad, just talk to grandpa. Tell our great grandpa, yeah, he'll tell you all about the world how it really works.
