The Dogface Dudes have taken TED names.We are now Uncle TED Talks.This is episode 16 in that series.allenmarcus.com has the links."Nothing captures the disorienting comedy of the post-modern, post-COVID world quite like the acronym MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+. It's a tragic reality (the MMIW part) lost inside a bureaucratic clown car of letters. This is the world we're living in: a place where 'Technates' and 'BRICS tyranny' sound like sci-fi villains, but you can't get raw milk without a secret handshake, and the government wants to register your backyard garden while demanding you use the correct pronouns for a shrimp. Welcome to the 'Teds Against Razors' summit—where we're just trying to 'Fire the Grocery Store' before they make cow insemination a sex crime."Late-night cabin talk that starts with viral oil tanker charts and ends on why you should probably fire your grocery store. We break down the rerouted-supertanker myth, look at why BRICS is just technocracy repackaged, and call out how much "independent" media quietly herds audiences back to the same script. Guest Crackbaby, a Marine vet and first-time cattleman, walks through what small-ranch life actually looks like: chasing livestock on foot through steep hills, patching fences, and rebuilding pasture without heavy equipment.From there we get into Oregon’s IP 28 proposal, the USDA garden registry pilot, and the quiet push to regulate home food production. The fixes are practical enough. You can split a quarter cow with neighbors, track down local processors on Beefmaps, or find regional raw milk networks. Between the food talk, the panel riffs on Canadian funding acronyms, the Shrimp Welfare Project, military boot camp lore, and why nineties sketch comedy still lands better than modern TV.If you’re tired of performative outrage and want actual steps to secure your food supply, this episode just lays out the basics. Members get the uncut afterparty afterward.Cows, Carburetors, and Controlled Narratives: A Night in the CabinFire Your Grocery Store: Ranch Life, Food Freedom, and Media MythsFrom BRICS to Barnyards: Deprogramming the News and Rebuilding LocalThe Teds Against Razors Summit: Self-Reliance in a Clown WorldGas Fumes & Beef Truths: Laughing Through the Great ResetUncle TED Talks, Episode 16The Dogface Dudes are now all named TED. This one starts with viral oil-tanker charts and ends on why you should probably fire your grocery store.We break down the rerouted-supertanker myth, explain why BRICS looks like technocracy in a new jacket, and note how much "independent" media just herds people back to the same script.
