We interrupt this program.
Previously, critics had brailed against the duo as crude, dumb, ugly, thoughtless, sexist, self-destructive, and foolish.
They are not part of the legitimate business world.
What they do is they celebrate underachievement.
And all candor, I would tell you it's outrageous, Phil.
And if I could find some way constitutionally to do away with it, I would.
It's a Friday. We did it.
No!
We did it.
Blood.
We did it.
Blood.
Thank you,
packs for them bitty's
already bright and early.
Let's get cooking.
Crickets.
Crickets.
Paperclips.
Cartoon muffin.
A bestest.
I'm making muffins as best as I can.
How's everyone's Thursday?
Good?
Yes.
Yeah.
Oh.
What did I?
Yeah.
That's a big deal.
What did I,
uh,
with football last night. I saw a clip of a guy crying on the sidelines. What happened?
I don't know. Who's the quarterback? For who? I don't know. I think I should have got more information.
Justin Herbert. Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz was crying on the sidelines because his shoulder was
bashed in or something. Oh, really? Oh, no. I don't know. I didn't have the audio.
Yeah. Yeah, it says that, yeah.
Is he like out or something or? Probably. He just got beat up. All right. All right.
man
Gadsden
What Gadsden do?
Well, so
in our league, my big
money football league, you have
$100 to spend all year
on waivers. I desperately
need a tight end. Gadsden was
Yeah, he does. Gadsden
was available. Okay. Right? So I put
in a waiver claim for $35.
A large, large, large amount.
Not real money, but that's like the money in the game.
It's all we get for the whole year.
But I went, it doesn't matter.
I'm not going to need any much more than that.
That's a huge amount.
I'll be fine for us to everyone else is good.
Who's in?
Two days later, I went, no, that's all your money.
Change it to 25.
So I dropped it back to 25 because I needed to pick up a wide receiver.
I said you immediately needed more of that money.
So I did that.
The guy that won, $31.
I did not get gas.
Wow.
Stuck with Kate Otten from the bucks.
None of this sounds fun.
None of this sounds fun.
And he had another.
We had another five for 77 and a touchdown last night.
So stressful the things you tell me about these fantasy football leagues.
Sex to me.
Yeah.
Again, that's, you people like your fantasy sports.
Yeah, I do.
I do like it.
It doesn't sound appealing to me to be distressed out all the time.
I do like.
Who am I to say?
It's fun.
Twitch and YouTube always streaming.
Type in K Rock CNY there.
What's going on on a Friday?
Just to hang today.
I got no guests, I don't think.
Nobody's visiting us.
So it's just these two dumbdums hanging out with you today.
Just taking a relax, having a hang.
Getting ready for tonight's spooktacular stroll.
Cody, we'll be out at Killebrew tomorrow.
Is there a noon game?
Nooner, bro.
Yeah.
And that's good.
Because I think originally it was a 3.31.
So that's good.
Let's just noon.
A couple hours and then we'll just move on with our weekend and have a great weekend.
You know what I mean?
That's okay.
You're not sounding face.
That's okay.
You know,
we'll just get it on.
And then that's fine.
And then that's over.
All right?
And then that's over.
And then that's over when we get on with our day.
And then everything is okay.
You know,
when he paints it like that,
see,
right.
Right.
And then that's fine.
You at least get the chicken wings and some beers.
Yeah,
you come hang out and say hi and we'll bring some stuff.
And then it'll be good.
And we'll get on with it.
I mean,
it's,
they're good,
but it's not,
they haven't like,
blown people out.
Georgia Tech?
Yeah.
So, I mean, we'll see.
We'll see.
Okay, bud.
We'll see.
They only beat Florida State by three.
Okay.
So you're telling me there's a chance.
There is a chance.
Okay.
There is a chance.
They're good, but not like the bestest.
So we'll see.
I'd love to see a victory, but I'm a realistic person.
Oh, too.
I think they can.
Will they?
Mm-hmm.
Um, I'm not one to ever think it's a good idea to take,
like these are called bad luck volcanic stones no i'm not going to steal those or like when you're
like yeah i'm not in egypt and you're like i'm going to steal this sargophagus or whatever i ain't messing
with that stuff no or when you're seeing people just like writing their names on things i ain't
messing with that stuff i ain't going in mummy's tombs no i don't even like going into graveyards
there's this whole creepy ticot theory about the cleaning girl who like she started out cleaning graves like
you know one of those TikToks were like, I'm just cleaning the graves.
Yeah, I've seen some of those.
And like, I don't know if it's a long con or something,
but like she started to go crazy and then she just vanished.
That's weird.
It'd be like the coolest movie idea ever.
Some of those are neat.
But people are like, she was messing with the spirits.
She shouldn't have been doing that.
Where they have like a spirit box next to them?
Yep, yep, yep.
And it'll talk, dude.
It'll be very relevant to what's going on there.
There's one video where like the flowers just kind of like get picked up
and set back down right behind her.
There's a shovel that moves, and she's just missing that.
It just popped up again in my random algorithm for whatever any reason,
that Tesla thing that we just mentioned a couple days ago when it picked up
bodies in that graveyard.
Blood.
The glitch.
That Tesla car had there.
So I mean, oh, no.
So this is a guy who stole stones from a volcanic site.
A visitor returned volcanic stone.
he had stolen, and I'm sorry if I'm mispronouncing this,
from Spain's Timmyf, Tim and Fire,
Tim and Fire, National Park.
Tim and Fire, National Park.
After they brought him what he claimed bad luck,
the tourists sent a handwritten letter to park officials
explaining his decision to return the rocks,
quote, I've heard of legends where if you removed the volcanic rock
from its source of origin, it will bring you luck,
and I fear this has befallen me.
after a major personal tragedy,
I am compelled to return these few grams of rocks to Fire Mountain.
Does that do it, though?
Like, if you took the spirits?
Yeah.
If you bring it back, they're like, okay.
I would say so.
It's like the spoiler alert.
It's like the whole Lord of the Rings thing.
Okay.
So if you bring, I've never watched Lord of the Rings,
so I don't know anything about it.
But honestly, I did.
I'm not even sure if that was, is it bad luck?
So they threw it into the lava.
I don't even know.
And so everything was fine.
Is that like Joe versus the volcano?
Yes.
They should have just, never mind.
All right.
He met Eagle all the way to the stupid mountain and whatever.
The visitor asked officials if he could take the stones back
and put him at the hot cold spot where he originally took them from
because he thinks they're bringing him bad luck.
If you knew that, why would you even bother?
Maybe you didn't know until after and you're like, why?
There's all this personal tragedy befallen me.
And then you, that'd be a real weird correlation.
I wonder if those volcanic rocks have any meaning.
Oh my God.
Oh my God, they do.
I must return to the site.
And at that moment is when he realized he effed up.
He effed up and he got a curse.
Park authorities warned that removing rocks can result in fines
and cause a dangerous domino effect to ecosystems.
Yeah, like a butterfly effect.
I get that.
But my man just thought he was getting bad luck.
And he wanted them back.
Hopefully taking rocks from places isn't to do a real butterfly effect.
You'd be cursed.
I'd take rocks from a lot of places.
You would explain a lot, though, wouldn't it, though?
If it was bad luck.
If you've been just getting bad luck on bad luck because you can't stop taking rocks?
From everywhere.
Whoops.
The spooktacular stroll.
This is the final weekend, friends.
Bring the family out tonight, tomorrow, or Sunday over at Long Branch Park in Liverpool.
I bet it was so much fun last night.
It's going to be fun all weekend long.
tickets at spooketacular stroll.com by the carload.
I guess I'm trying to understand.
At the end of yesterday's show, we announced this whole like gambling thing.
Yeah.
Can you explain what happened to me?
Like the mafia's involved?
I guess, man.
Yeah, really weird, bro.
Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier and Damon Jones.
And that's probably just a little.
were indicted with more than 30 other suspects who include alleged members of prominent organized crime families.
I guess I'm ignorant that I didn't know we still had organized like gangs or like the mafia is still a thing.
I'm sure it's a lot different now.
I'm sure they just are more, you know, like...
Quiet.
Yeah, not so much.
We're going to be out in a, you know, sitting at the diner.
It's like behind the scenes kind of stuff.
We're going to wait to shoot up the alley with the boss.
You know what I mean?
Not that so much as I don't know how they do their what-nots,
but it's a lot of this stuff where they don't have to do the...
Well, I don't want to piss off any mafia, so I apologize.
No, I don't know anything about anything.
I don't know anything about anything because I am a sports gambler.
Yeah.
So trust me, I know nothing.
You can look at my...
Oh my God, my favorite clip...
My favorite clip on the Internet right now is while ESPN is reporting this story.
Yeah.
The whole bottom ticker is ESPN bet.
Yeah.
About like odds and stuff.
Isn't that funny?
And then suddenly some producer must have realized the optics of that.
And they just delete it.
They just removed it.
Because it's, it's what it is now, man.
It's.
Yeah.
It's easy to do all this stuff.
The NBA said in a statement,
Rozier, am I saying these names right?
Rozier and Billups.
Rozier.
It doesn't matter.
Either.
We're put on leave and the league is cooperating with authority.
One of the federal cases unveiled Thursday involves allegations of cheating in high-stakes poker games.
Oh.
Operated by mafia figures.
Okay.
The elaborate cheating scheme netted more than $7 million from rig games, prosecutors say.
Which is so weird.
And it's being investigated by Cash Patel, so you know there's going to be texts that say,
I love gambling, can't wait to gamble.
Big time gambling tonight.
Gamblin's my favorite thing.
And then there's going to be a big sack of money with.
the dollar sign on it.
Somebody wrote on marker.
This is,
this is,
this is Bill,
Chaunty Billups money.
Totally not.
My one.
Yeah, right.
The other case involves
bets on basketball games,
which were allegedly placed
using insider information related to injuries.
Someone like Billups,
I feel like doesn't need this.
Rozier might,
I mean,
I said,
I don't remember what he's got,
but he's got plenty of money.
So does Damon Jones,
but like,
why you need to do this,
I don't know.
It's very weird.
It's very weird to see these guys.
Cash Patel just found a basketball on the scene with on the marker on the side wrote,
I hate legal gambling.
Gambling is what they wrote on it.
So that's a good sign of evidence.
Well, wait, I think they just, was it fine?
I think they found Chauncey Billups boat on the back.
It says gone gambling.
Gone gambling.
Gone gambling. Good, good, good.
Very good.
Gone gambling.
The poker ring indictment alleges that wealthy people were invited to rigged games
with well-known professional athletes
known as face cards
who receive a portion of the proceeds.
So did people know they were going to be rig games?
This is the part I didn't really understand
when they were talking about it with the gambling
because I don't understand that.
I'm not a...
I don't know how to play poker,
but I don't understand, like, is it like...
It's like the movie heat
where they're going into houses
and they're playing like million-dollar hands and stuff probably.
Are people going in there to play
because they're like...
like, oh, Chauncey Billups is going to be there.
We're playing with Chauncey Billups, and that's cool because I'm a rich guy and I like to be
around rich people because we know that rich people love athletes.
No matter what their status is.
No matter what their status is, if you put a rich white guy in a room with an athlete, they're
rock hard.
It's over.
So they're like, yeah.
And now these guys are willing to bet more.
Yeah, because Chauncey Billups is there.
Chauncey's there.
One such game in April of 2019 allegedly involved Billups and Jones.
Jones and they used the
design, sorry,
they used a device
described as I agree.
Oh my God.
What's that black van just go?
Feeling lightheaded.
What?
Using a device known as a rigged
shuffling machine that was
secretly altered to read the cards.
Oh.
And the victim was defrauded
$50,000 in that game.
So that's a thing.
So that's a thing, I guess.
A machine that,
that while it is
shuffling the cards,
it reads what they are.
So the,
but,
oh man.
So how do they,
but,
right?
How did they go after the fact?
So,
all right,
so it reads the cards.
So then what,
it knows where they are stacked
and then,
I don't know,
man.
Then it'll tell you like the next three are,
I can't.
I'm so happy.
I was way too high last night
for this to be happening now.
But here's,
here's what's good for us,
is we're too dumb to understand this organized crime
so we can't get involved in it.
Yeah, no organized crime for me.
You and I are too stupid to know how to use a card thingy.
We wouldn't know.
I'm not even good enough at that mafia video game.
Right.
So we're too dumb to be involved in this.
I'm good.
I think it seems like a lot of it was what you're saying.
Like, wealthy people love to be around athletes.
We see it all the time.
Oh, here we go.
What?
They had poker chips with hidden cameras.
Whoa!
Special contact lenses and glasses that could read pre-marked cards
and an x-ray table that they could read cards face down on the table.
And none of these people getting swindled caught on to this?
That's crazy.
You're just getting your money taken from you?
Like that.
And if the mafia is listening, great job.
You do a great job.
I was just going to say that's, that's, now we know how the mafia.
and we're not going to wait for you.
It's all high tech.
We're going to have a goddamn X-ray card table.
It's all high-tech.
That's crazy.
I got to see this movie.
I can't wait now.
Because I want to watch someone explain to Leonardo DiCaprio.
Now with this poker chip, here's what I mean?
This is going to have a camera in it?
I've seen some small hidden cameras.
That's small.
Come here, Daniel Craig.
Take this contact lens in.
Now you got this contact lens in.
Now you can read.
Now, this is the one that you, I think you mentioned this yesterday when we first write about this.
The indictment highlights a March 23, 2003 game involving the Charlotte Hornets who Rozier played for at the time.
Yeah, this one seems a lot easier to do.
He allegedly told a long time, Fred, he would leave the game early, claiming to be injured.
What a narc that friend is.
The indictment accuses Rozier of providing that information so that his friend could place bets that predicts.
predicted Rozier would underperform during the game.
But, Roger stopped playing that night after nine minutes.
It's got to be just so easy, though.
Not that people do it, but you know what I mean?
Like, we're buds.
Yeah.
I'm in the NBA.
Hey.
We grew up together.
I'm like, hey, man, I got an ankle injury tonight.
Or just, yeah, just like, hey, Josh, just, I know that you might, you know,
gamble a little bit.
I was seeing that my over-under for points tonight is 10.
I don't think that's happening.
Yeah.
Just saying have a good one.
Yeah.
Because like, but it is illegal, but you could also help your friends out a lot with
some life-changing money.
Like all the rich people don't help out their friends.
Oh, don't get.
That's what I mean.
So we're just doing a little.
We're just doing a little.
You should be able to do a little bit of crime.
Just a little insider trading with gambling at work.
You should be able to do a little bit.
They listed off a bunch of people who are,
allegedly involved with the Gambino
Crime family and the La Cosa Nostra,
whose names I will not read on the radio because I don't want to be
on anyone's radar, okay?
But there's a lot of them.
Those SUVs just...
What's going on?
Yeah, well, there's a lot.
You can look them up for yourself, but there's a...
Clearly organized crime is still alive and well.
In the very least, this 30 for 30 is going to be wild.
Like that whole time that I just...
said the Kosa Nostra and
Cody just said something, I was scrolling the
names of the people involved in this. That's how
many people are involved in this.
It just goes on and on and on.
No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't.
Everything's fine. Oh, God, what have I said?
You thought you're gambling that we
ain't listening to you. I guess the most shocking
part of the story was the
poker stuff. Like, we
both assumed it was what we said.
I'm not feeling like hitting 10 points tonight.
That, oh, I'd make sense.
Oh, I hit the rim. But freaking hidden
cameras and x-ray machines and all this gambling?
Contact lenses so you can read pre-marked cars.
It's insanity.
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
Right, yeah.
Illegal gambling and jewelry heist.
We're back, baby.
Sunday, big show over at the landmark theater.
Huge.
I've given away all my freebies, but tickets are still available on Ticketmaster.
In this moment, funeral portrait, dad, and Dacey.
speaker, all live and on stage at the landmark.
It's going to be a masquerade ball,
come in costume,
and our favorite costumes to get pulled on stage,
three of you,
and one grand prize winner gets a photo shoot with Maria Brink.
That's going to be awesome.
That's going to be awesome.
What a cool Sunday you guys are going to have.
Normally we pick on a lot of Guinness World Records.
Rightfully so.
Because a lot of them are stupid.
Rightfully so.
This one is not stupid.
This one is a very impressive and very important.
Guinness World Record, Cody.
Which absolutely means it's going to be stupid than all of the others.
I think you'll even agree with me on this.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Congratulations to Norbert the pig for being the world's fastest skateboarding pig.
Here it, Norbert.
See?
Hell yeah, Norbert.
Now that's what we need.
That's a guy.
Norbert the pig.
That pig takes home the bacon.
Norbert the pig from Buffalo Grove, Illinois earned a Guinness World Record.
for the fastest, 10 meters pushing a skateboard by a pig.
He did it in 11.32 seconds.
Don't worry, I got footage.
Awesome.
The 175 pound pig covered 33 feet during his record-breaking run.
Some pig.
Some pig.
That's my friend.
Here's the...
Thank you.
Text, I mean, Twitch and YouTube.
I will show you Norbert.
Thank God.
Norbert, the skateboarding pig.
Animals on skateboards.
Some of my favorite things.
Meatball.
Top-notch.
Rob Deardex old dog, meatball he used to ride.
Yep.
Meady.
Here's Norbert on a scooter.
I mean, on his skateboard.
Go.
Go, Norbert.
Norbert.
For those you're just listening, it's exactly what you think it is.
He's a big fat pig pushing a skateboard.
He's riding it.
And then he hops on.
He's riding it.
Yeah.
Oh.
They're so smart and we eat the hell off.
I know. Well, they're so good, too. That's the problem, you know?
I know. Look at it.
Congratulations, Norbert.
Now, he said, O'Rourn Vincent Barron discovered Norbert's skateboarding ability
using a childhood skateboard and unsalted peanuts as treats.
How?
We just...
I think he just said, boredom.
Yeah, I mean, boredom.
Bordstone. I don't know.
He went outside, laid the board down, and took some peanuts.
In about 15 minutes, I had him standing on the board.
After a couple more sessions, he was pushing himself down the street.
He looks like a natural on the board.
He has the nickname Tony Pork, John and legendary Tony Hawk.
All right.
Congratulations, Norman.
All right, that one is worth it.
That one's worth it.
Try to beat that.
The Spooktacular Stroll is back tonight.
It's not so scary, poppy.
C&Y is not so scary
Walk through Long Branch
Park
Tonight, tomorrow and Sunday
And then that's a wrap
Because we got to move on to Lights on the Lake
Have one last weekend
And then we're moving on the Lights on the Lake
It's time for their little
Lights on the Lake
They gotta be almost set up by now
They were putting them out like a month ago
When I was there
Carrie was on my TV screen yesterday
So they must be doing something
Any questions
Yes, many
Several
Sputacular stroll.com, don't forget about it.
You can trick or treat tomorrow night and Sunday night with the kiddos.
And honestly, like I said, even if you don't got kids, just go ahead check it out.
It's a fun vibe.
It's something fun to do.
Yeah.
Walk around the park, enjoy some food, some treats, some games.
Have a good time.
Sputacular stroll.com.
The tickets are by the car load so you can load them up.
Load them up and load them in.
Load them up.
Get all them damn bugger eaters into the car.
and bring them out there to get them in.
I don't know if we do this around here.
But assuming I could get a ride home after,
I would like to do this.
I guess there's an event where cops need to practice with real drunks.
Okay.
So they get people to volunteer.
Okay.
To get intoxicated.
Nice.
So police can like figure out what to.
look, that thing just scared the hell out of me.
When I turned my head and saw
smoothie's wiener, I thought
it was a face looking at me.
Listen, listen. You and his
wife for the last however many years, brother.
Get it because it's scary.
You're looking at it.
So this is
a Dewey
training event where people volunteer to get
hammered. Are you
in like a closed area? Like
in a car?
Are you doing, you know what I mean? Like, obviously
you're not driving around, but are they having you like, in a parking lot or something?
Well, here's the guy explaining it. Let me see.
This is what they call a wet lab.
They get a bunch of volunteers to come in and drink.
Terry, I need you to go have a double.
And so they get a double drink until they have the right BAC level according to the breathalyzer.
Now we'll see if any of the people.
What is the right BAC?
Do you?
About a point one eight?
That's about my right BAC.
Whatever it is there, that late night toggle bell.
That's the right.
Who we're drinking can pass a sobriety test.
The guy who had the most to drink had 14 drinks over about two and a half hours.
Yeah, he didn't pass the test.
Neither did anybody else.
The cadets said that they would have arrested every single person who was in that room drinking if they were stopped on the side of the road.
Yeah.
That's the important message.
The cops can tell.
I want to try.
I want to do this.
Yeah.
I want to see if I can ace the test.
Is that a challenge, police officers?
Maybe I'll do it out of whiskey Wednesday.
Like, tell me what I got to do.
I got to do the, I couldn't do the.
I couldn't do the backwards alpha that thing if I would.
No, I don't know.
I don't know it now.
The walk on a line thing?
Don't even tell me.
Like I keep thinking of that Reno 9-1-1 where she's like, boom, boom, hip-ball change, boom.
Pivot.
Pivot.
Like.
I do like that.
I don't know what other like tests.
And also, like, is that one guy okay?
Who drank 14 drinks in two and a half hours?
Oh my God.
That's, I mean, that's blackout level.
That's a guy with a real tolerance.
And I like, they were like,
that guy did not pass.
I know.
I would hope not.
I would hope not.
Can you imagine if he was like, yeah, go ahead.
Oh, me?
Oh, 14.
There aren't people out there with super high,
I mean, I got a pretty high tolerance.
Boom, boom, boom.
Boom.
Boom.
I'm walking lines.
ZYX, boom, done.
They're like, oh my God.
Yeah, those are a lot of drinks.
Uh-uh.
BAC of 0.37.
That would be, holy cow.
Wow.
That's so high.
You're gonna...
I thought you partied, I guess.
I don't know.
I thought you partied.
I didn't know.
But I'm sure we could find that study somewhere to get you in on it.
Sister says it takes place in a room.
All right.
They're just hanging out.
Just hang it out in like a...
Sign me up.
I'll Uber home.
I want to see if I can stump the police officers.
We'll just get one of those alcohols and do it here.
Well, I did call the cops on you.
I did do the DWI glasses.
Yeah, those I don't know how many drinks you got to have to do that.
Because I've never been drunk enough to have that be my vision.
Trust me, I can put it down.
But I've never been so drunk that I was really like the glasses I had.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Like wavy and you couldn't see anything.
That's what I'm saying.
I've never been so drunk that that's my vision.
Mm-hmm.
No.
Yeah.
So, all right, 315, 364, 101.
That's K Rock text line.
Listen, don't drink and drive.
Please don't drink and drive.
But when this test comes up,
Syracuse City Police or
Sheriffs, I'm in.
I'm in.
He's your boy.
Put me in a room.
Sir me boozy.
Hi.
I'm sorry, did I startle you?
When you're used to hearing a certain type of commercial,
something like this, Ken, well, take you by surprise.
That's kind of how it is with the Lexus RX,
a vehicle that has continued to defy expectations for over 25 years.
From the first luxury vehicle of its kind,
to the first hybrid luxury vehicle,
to the only plug-in hybrid worthy of the RX name.
We understand you want more than the everyday SUV.
It isn't being understood an amazing feeling.
See Burdick, Lexus, and Cicero.
For anybody gambling on sports this weekend,
I will not be playing.
I will not be playing in tomorrow's SUV game.
All right, I don't know if that affects anybody's bets.
Taking the under?
My points.
I know my points.
I'm expected to get two toddies tomorrow.
Couple toddies, dude.
Not playing this little insider information for you.
A little bit.
I will not be on the field tomorrow.
I didn't hear that from.
Anywhere. Thank you so much.
Nope. Nobody.
Tomorrow, though, if you'd like to watch the game and you're not in Georgia, right, it's in Georgia, Georgia, Georgia.
Georgia?
Yes.
Head over to Killabrew.
Coco will be over there for that noon game.
Hang out for the first half.
He'll get some wings and drink.
Stop by, say hey to your boy.
You're bringing out some stickers and stuff?
Katie's headed out there with me, so it's already all packed up.
So, you know, we have all of the things.
are all ready to roll.
So swing on by Killebrew tomorrow for that noon game.
Yep, that'll be fun.
I'm excited to, I like hanging out there.
It's a fun little spot.
I love Killebrew.
I love their wings, man.
I can just sit there need a big old tray of them.
What?
They had, uh, for their whiskey Wednesday last week, they had, where did it just go?
They paired it with a, a, a, a, a Blantons.
Look at that bottle.
Look at that chicken.
People love Blantons.
Is that fancy?
Yeah.
That's the, the one that you had with the horse, right?
The horse on it.
People collect those.
bottles and you can spell out blantons people like to collect those oh really

They'll be there for the football game.
There is technically a soccer game tomorrow happening.
I would like, you know, no, the football game.
Syracuse at Georgia Tech tomorrow at noon.
Yes, yes.
Football.
I don't know if I agree with this, because people are trying to figure out,
is trick-or-treating dead?
Because now we do trunk-or-treats.
Now we...
The pandemic changed a lot of crap, man.
We do treats on the trail at Spooktacular Strull.
People trick-or-treating in different ways.
So is trick-or-treating dead?
I don't think so.
Not the last, even if I think of last year it was packed.
Just from, I mean, watching the, you know, when we did it out in Cicero, when the weather was nice,
absolutely not.
I don't think it was dead.
No.
When it was nice, the bags of candy we would go through.
was insane.
Not stop.
But I mean, I think it's evolved in different ways.
And it's maybe not died off, but, you know, move to spots where, you know,
maybe it's not everywhere does it.
Where if you're a house that, like my, like over by where my mom is, it's dead there.
Nobody goes there.
It's dead there.
Where you've got just.
Why?
That's a nice little area.
It's weird.
It used to be the move was everybody would hit up that little couple streets over and
or in New Syracuse, you go over into the village and you do all the rest.
But now you'd be like two kids.
Whereas back in the day, you know, there would be a ton before we would go trick-or-treating
because they would have to stay there to hand out candy.
Village of Phoenix is a great little spot to trick-or-treat if you're looking.
Shout up to our boys over at Lock One distilling.
They're doing like an adult thing.
Okay.
So they're doing like trick-or-treating and then they're doing a thing with Grimsley's Gorge
and then you go to Lock One.
It's a whole night over there.
That's cool.
But I love the town to do that.
Caz does that.
No, that's great.
Yeah.
I do like that.
I like when the towns help keep it going.
It also, like, yeah, like what Mel says.
What?
Her neighborhood is dead.
There's no kids here.
When it changes.
Yeah, when the neighborhood changes, yeah.
Like, that's what happened with our neighborhood.
You all grew up and moved out.
We all left.
It was all of us.
And we all grew up and left.
And then there just wasn't, you know, groups of kids that came back over.
Mom, if you're in chat, do we still get, do we still get kids on NSA out there in Peavville?
Do we still get an NSA?
to have a Sixbury, the whole crew out there?
People still trick-or-treating?
Well, they say,
now people are saying it's trick-or-treating not cool anymore.
It's still cool.
I love trick-or-treating.
It's cool.
But here's the thing.
What?
Not in a way of like, it's not cool,
but it was never a cool thing.
No, it's for children.
It was just...
It's not a flex.
No, yeah, there was never anything about it that was like,
you're going trick-or-treating, cool, cool, dude?
You know what I mean?
It was just...
We're going trick-or-treating.
Mm-hmm.
It's candy.
Mm-hmm.
You're just going to trick-or-treating.
Mm-hmm.
So, I mean...
Trunker-treating has actually been around since the 90s,
but it's become increasingly popular and widespread in recent years, post-COVID.
Yeah.
Some people say, argue that it is retired trick-or-treating because they prefer trunk-or-treating.
Yeah, but...
I don't know.
I'm old-school.
I like pulling around the wagon at nighttime.
Because, yeah, that was...
In the neighborhood.
With that, with trunk-or-treat...
Yes, I know a lot of communities, they do it up and there's a lot of cars,
but there's no way there's the same as going trick-or-treating out in the neighborhoods.
It's a limited space.
It's a parking lot.
And it's just like, isn't usually just like a circle?
Yeah.
And there's like, what, 50?
I think the kids' schools are doing it this year.
Like, there's going to be like a trunk-or-treat event.
How many are at these trunk-or-treat things, though?
I can think, here's, now if I can play the opposite side here.
If my kids were real little.
Yeah.
And I was like...
That was going to be the next thing I asked.
Just go do the trunk-
Trit and then I'm done with it, you know?
That was going to be the next thing I asked is that.
If they're like under five,
and you just do a big circle.
But it also, it's, that is for the people that are like,
oh, trick-or-treating is, it's dead, it's dying.
Oh, man, those are the same people that'll just do the trunk-or-treat.
The whole trigger-treating experience is you're going house to house.
You're seeing like decorations.
You're seeing your neighbors.
I mean, yes, you're seeing your neighbors in the trunk-or-treat thing,
but I don't know, I feel like it was more community when you're out, you know, all the streets
were doing stuff.
I love that.
I guess it's the same community that's getting together to all trunk or treat.
So I'm disagree with this.
I don't think trick-or-treating is dead.
I don't think it's over.
I think a lot of people are still doing it.
It's evolved. It's probably different by generation.
Like, you got to figure, like, our parents' trick-or-treating was different from our trick-or-treating
and our kids' trick-or-treating will be different from what we did.
Yeah.
It all evolves.
changes.
See, that.
What?
Now, that I disagree with.
What is I?
Whereas, yes, you may have had a ton of people out at West Cheney.
Mm-hmm.
Not inside.
No, you don't trigger or drink or treat or any of the others outside.
That's going to be a boomer take.
I agree with on Cody.
You got to put in the work.
You get soaking wet if it's raining or it's freezing cold.
You put your coat over your costume and you walk up and down these streets.
I don't care if it's pitch black and nobody can see your makeup now.
You get outside.
You don't go inside.
side and trick or treat.
But I also like that it's not on Halloween.
What do you mean? What? They did it.
Wednesday evening. Yeah. So that way, see, that's the other thing is these places that do
trunk or treats, you could also double up real well.
Yeah. You could do those. Then head out, you know, hit the streets like Inc. Ma.
Yeah.
Text line. Sorry, my cousin Jay in chat says,
had a coworker who asked her son, do you want me to buy you a costume so you can trick or
treat or do you want to buy a video game?
I knew some people that would do this.
I knew some people will do this.
But then also the work is you get the video game,
and then that night you're like,
I don't know, I'm just going to go out real quick.
Yeah, you go out of your costume, it's all right.
Yeah, you're fine, you go out with your friends.
Then you'll win twice.
You just don't make your parents do anything.
That was also probably a nice relief once you got older
where we just, all of our friends just stopped.
I mean, we'd make our parents help us.
But, you know, after a while, you're kind of on your own.
Yeah, this is these last year, like last couple of years,
you're on your own. I'm not coming out.
I'm not following you around. You're on your own.
Bring a backpack. Yeah. Costume.
You do whatever you want.
Yeah. Good luck.
At the very end, we would call for a ride once we could.
Or probably our funniest Halloween moment is when
it was all of us and we were Smurfs
and got pulled over.
Awesome.
Because they thought we were smashing pumpkins in neighborhoods.
But you weren't? There was no evidence of it.
It was just a, it was a whole thing.
thing where the guy was kind of being a dick
where he was like, God made us get out.
And we were like, bro, we're all
wearing blue paint. Don't you think you'd
see us? And then the one other cop is
the guy that showed up because you need a backup.
Got it back up. There's dangerous smirks.
The other cop agreed with us where we're like,
take the flashlight, shied it on us.
There would be pumpkins
somewhere on any one of us, at least
a little. And the one guy was like, oh yeah, I guess it's
good. Mm-hmm.
See, Katie says, my oldest is
going to the SUV game, asked if he got
extra money to spend since he didn't have him buy a costume.
That's nice.
It's always a negotiation with these kids.
They're always working an angle.
I didn't make you buy me that so I get this, right?
Why can't I do that?
Let me ask you another question.
Do any of your kids do the opposite where they'll hit up a trunk or treat
and then also trick or treat and then they'll go to a Halloween event?
That's what I mean.
That's come home with candy.
Now that there are these trunk or treats, you can double up.
Do they do the festival circuit and just like...
Yeah.
Sorry.
hitting all of it.
Uh-huh.
That's where it's at.
Yeah, that's the move.
Whose kids are doing that?
Sputacular Stroll tonight, tomorrow and Sunday, and then that's a wrap.
So get your tickets now, Sputacular Stroll.
Dot com.
We keep forgetting, dude, we keep running our mouths and forgetting about baseball games.
Did they play last night?
No, would they start today, don't they?
Oh, yeah, okay.
I was going to say, they didn't start without me.
Today at 8 o'clock is game one.
Okay, yes, yes, yes.
We keep forgetting about the baseball, the World Series is happening.
I'm excited now.
You are?
I wasn't just because I really wanted to see the Mariners get there.
That's a cool story.
I had a feeling, though, if the Mariners got there the way that,
and I mean, it's the same with the Blue Jays,
how much energy they've exerted.
Oh.
I have the worst feeling about this Dodgers team,
and they're hot right now,
and I could see them just steamrolling, four games done.
Well, tonight.
I hope I'm so, so wrong.
Special guest in attendance, throwing out the first pitch.
Where is it?
It's in Toronto.
Okay, okay.
Rush.
Base player, Getty Lee, and singer.
Oh, really?
Getty Lee's turned out the first pitch tonight.
He's a big deal in Toronto.
He is.
I thought you're going to say Edge.
Apparently, oh, really?
Is Edge a big Toronto guy?
Yeah, I mean, that's his hometown.
Getty is a season ticket holder of the Blue Jays.
Okay.
They haven't been in a World Series in 32 years.
Joe Carter.
He has an, I guess, a mind-blowing,
autographed baseball collection.
Oh, cool.
huge baseball nerd.
Gatti Lee is.
That's awesome.
If I had all that ability
like that,
if you're famous,
I would be all about that too.
You'd just,
yeah.
Like,
like,
athletes and stuff.
I honestly,
I would be a big nerd with,
you know how at the end of the games
they give,
like they switch jerseys
and they do that stuff?
I want one of those.
I want a jersey.
Somebody wore all sweaty
with the man sweat all over it.
These are all of Famers.
And I tried to do it for around period.
Christy Matheson
Sign ball has to be fairly rare
Is that Ted Cappell?
Yeah
No, Dan Rather, sorry, Dan Rather
I learned the hard way that
Because I bought one
For those of you listening
I don't have it on my screen
But he's in a room
With a lot
I mean he's really rich
So he's got like these mahogany
Rich mahogany
Ah yes
Cabinets of his baseball collection
The baseball
Thousands and thousands of balls
The ball cabinets
They look like the China cabinets?
Like you could tell me he's in Cooperstown right now, and I would believe me.
How many base boss he has.
And he looks just like Gerbil.
If anybody wonders what Gerbil looks like.
More money than I would admit.
And it turned out to be a fake.
Oh.
And of course, it just, when a collector buys something fake,
they become obsessed with getting the real thing.
So I didn't stop until I found.
These are all Yankees, 27 Yankees ball and Babe Ruth.
Mickey Mantle.
I'm a big fan of Mickey Mantle's.
when he signed
baseballs and he was a little
in his cups as they say
he would write nasty things.
What do you think?
Best switch hitter of all time?
Yeah, I mean, just incredible player.
Best switch hitter of all time and credible player.
It's a whole four-minute video if you want to see it.
That's cool.
Just Google Gatty Lee shows off his baseball collection
and he's showing Dan Rather
all of this like priceless baseball stuff.
That's crazy.
I heard that you were a big fan of the Yankees too.
Spook.
Spooktacular stroll wraps up this weekend.
Get your tickets now.
Spooktacular stroll.com.
What is it?
Oh, it's just a nice little walk through Long Branch Park.
And we appreciate all of you for not wrapping it up.
That way, you take your kids to Sputacular Stroll.
You had unprotected intercourse and you made a baby or two or three or four or five.
So many.
Yeah, I mean, quite a few.
Got a lot of kids out there.
Go enjoy it.
I think, I don't know if they were all theirs.
Five was the record I saw.
Five kids?
They were pulling two little babies in a wagon thingy.
They also had one that was just walking and then two like the teens.
You know what I mean?
And I bet they looked exhausted.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a lot.
Well, the teens can help six or seven kids.
Oh, no.
Happy National Bologna Day, Cody.
I know you celebrate.
Yeah, National Bologna Day.
You heard something else?
Did you hear something else?
Blownie where the Pampers is
Where a good morning sunshine
What would you like for breakfast
How about some eggs and sauce
I'd really rather have baloney
Bologna? Bologna? Yeah, bologna. Why would you
want that? It is national
Bologna day today. I don't like
Bologna. I love it. If he wants
baloney then. Okay, okay. Who doesn't
love bologna? Today is National Bologna Day.
Good luck figuring out what's in that, good luck
spelling it. It's showtime.
So you, uh, aren't a hot dog fan. Are you a fan of Bologna?
No, no, I'd rather eat hot dogs.
Yeah.
I don't, I don't, that smell.
I don't kind of smell like hot dogs, but the smell is what I can't.
As soon as you open the baloney, mm-mm.
I don't know what it is.
I think it's just growing up on bologna.
I love it.
I love a fried bologna.
I love a bologna with mayo.
Bologna with miracle whip.
Oh, you're not supposed to be.
Bologna and cheese on white bread, dude.
Oh, do you just slat?
Just get a little like this and roll them up.
I love doing bologna and cheese.
roll-ups where I take a piece of bologna and
roll it up and eat it? That's not bad.
Smoked it like a cigar. Put in all the other
one. I mean, I did back
when I was a kid because everybody
put baloney on their face and then ate it.
That is you make the mask.
Yeah, it's the only lunch meat you could
put right on your face and then having a sandwich.
Then some of that bologna that has like the little red
strip around the outside of it. You got to peel
it off. You got to do that.
That's like the real fancy
bologna. The real fancy bologna.
The real
fancy.
Bologna.
That's the boar's head baloney.
What even is bologna?
Like, I know what a roast beef is.
I know what a ham is.
I know what a turkey is.
What in the ass is bologna?
What is bologna?
Large, cooked American sausage.
It's made from ground,
cured meat,
seasoned, and cooked or smoked.
Unlike Italian mortadella,
it's ground smoothly,
making it a common sandwich ingredient
and lunch staple.
Okay.
So is it like a mixed of meats?
Yeah,
pork,
or poultry.
Okay.
Yeah, I know.
It's a big fat,
big fat, thick hot dog.
Yeah, it's a big, big, big, fat, thick hot dog.
Yeah, it's a big old hat bag.
Listen, I like it.
I don't know what's in it.
I don't want to know what's in it,
but I like it.
Get you that.
What we do, what we're going to do is we're going to take some baloney.
Take a bologna right here.
I got it in my hand.
Then we're going to take a big,
thing, a liver worst,
slather it all over the bologna,
so it's like a paste.
Then we take a hot dog,
slap that right in the middle,
and roll it up.
You're trying to gross me out, and I would eat that.
You like liver worst?
I like the texture of it.
I can take a bite, and then I'm done.
Yeah.
One bite, and then I'm done.
I can eat what you just described.
Because it's liver.
Grounded up.
We always had access to baloney for some reason.
I don't know.
Is it like, is it a poor meat?
Or is it just like, is it cheap?
Liver worst? No, baloney.
Oh, no, baloney's cheap.
Blonies like, I'm assuming, yeah, that's like the, like, probably the cheapest one of the lunchmeets.
I like to do a thing where I fold it.
I'd fold it into like a big thick slice and you eat it like a cracker.
I can eat a whole pack of baloney right here.
Oh, easily.
Really?
Just one heat, just peel off a slice.
Because sometimes I'm in the mood for like that thick cut Oscar Meyer stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
Sometimes I'm in the move for a thin cut deli bologna.
I mean, no, no, never mind because I don't want to kill them.
I was like, I'm bringing in a whole thing.
We're just going to watch you eat one course of a show a whole.
Over the course of a show, I could do it in one break.
How many slices?
I would just eat it.
A pack?
Yeah.
It's like 20-something slices of bologna and a pack of bologna.
That's not that many slices.
I mean, there is, yes, that many slices, but the human body can handle that much.
I can handle that much bologna, for sure.
I mean.
Your next day?
You're going to be a bad day in this room with me.
Because you're full of bologna.
I'm full of bologna, yeah.
Which is a normal thing.
Yeah.
Oh, donkey's so right.
You get a cheese stick, a mozzarella stick, and then you roll a bologna around it.
And that's your...
Bologna roll up?
That's your cheap, poor man's version of that thing you like.
The whatever roll-ups there, the meat roll-ups.
Guys, I'm not doing the bologna bit today because I have a long drive with my wife after the show,
and she's not going to want to be in a farty car with her baloney boy for four hours.
She's never messaged in, but she's about to say that she is never and will never call you her baloney boy.
You don't want to be in a car with her baloney boy.
Bologna boy?
Come on now.
Come on now.
Come on and it's the Bologna boy in the morning.
What would your name be?
If I'm Bologna boy, you're going to be, what's your food?
What do you like?
What's your weird food?
Oh, I don't see.
Tucan Sam?
Bolognautti boy and Tucan in the morning.
Wait, what's, what's something you like?
Fruit Looms?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Pumpin?
Yeah, I don't, I don't have one.
I don't have one.
It's got to just be organic.
It's got to come to you.
All right.
If you can think of a name for Cody,
I'm the baloney boy this morning.
You're a baloney boy.
I'm your baloney boy.
Happy Friday, everybody.
Don't forget, Spooktacular Stroll
tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday,
and then it's a wrap.
Close it up.
Okay, we already got Christmas stuff.
I know.
He says,
Bob says Dr. Trail Mix,
the exact time that the TV is showing a trail mix.
So, you know, everything is fake.
That was weird.
It feels like every week we're getting new candy corn hate
on the internet.
It seems like every time, every year, Halloween candy comes off and everybody's got a hate on candy corn.
We've told you how much we love candy corn.
Yep.
I like candy, but time and time again, we love that meaty pumpkin candy corn.
Yep.
But now people are wondering, and it seems ridiculous, but it doesn't seem ridiculous.
I guess in an interview, Taylor Swift said, quote, I'm not into candy corn.
I've never understood it.
It's too many different tastes.
And that's kind of where the decline started.
Well, then that's it then.
If Taylor hates it, then her people will immediately hate it
because that's how many of her fan bases work.
If she says it, then it's gospel.
So candy corn is now canceled.
I hate candy corn.
Taylor told me to hate candy corn.
I hate candy corn.
Well, so let's run through some of some candy rankings
as I like to do these around the Halloween season.
Alongside Candy Corn, which is continued.
Yeah, is seeing a decline.
Licorish.
Wow.
Do you like black licorice?
I do, but...
I like good and plenty.
But I was just saying this.
Because of that story that we did here,
I don't eat it anymore.
It honestly got to me.
Now, what he's referencing is a man who ate so much black
licorice, wasn't it?
Yes, but no, he didn't even eat that much.
He just ate a bag a day for like two weeks.
It was a okay-sized bag, but it wasn't anything outlandish.
Now I'm afraid I'm joshing it up with black licorice.
I'm afraid I'm going to die if I eat black liquor.
He's not wrong.
This was, what year was this?
What was this?
2020 this happened.
No, that was not that long ago.
Happened five years ago, bro.
We're living in hell and every day is a new day.
Oh, we're so.
Doctors at the Massachusetts General Hospital said the unusual case,
I got a
I'm not got a subscribe right now
forget it
but yeah
but yes he ate too much
glyc
whatever's in it
glyceric acid
or whatever it's called
found in black liquorish
yeah
he ate a bag of licorice
every day
black licorish
he was like a construction worker
that would get a bag
on lunch
54 year old man died
and I have the acid reflux
stuff so I'm like
well it's gonna do it
and it's not like
I'll still eat it
I'm not like a terrified
where if I'm like
oh my God
I'm going to eat
piece of black liquid. Yeah, but I'm also a hypochondri accent.
You got me thinking about it. But really at this point, if I died from black
licorice, that'd be a funny way to go, right?
I mean, right. At this point, what did he do?
Does my family get the insurance money? Good.
All right. He ate a lot of black licorish.
If you want black licorish, you may be distressed at the rumors of people dying from
eating too much of it. So what is this? This is healthline.com.
Fake. Fake. Fake. I don't believe it. Okay, sure.
Fake. Emergency. Okay, this is the story.
were just talking about. Back in
2020, 55 year old man
was at a restaurant.
He was experiencing
ventricular fribulation.
Oh, boy. It's an irregular
heartbeat. He was rushed to the
hospital, died 32 hours later
after experiencing
electrolyte imbalances
and multi-organ failure.
Well, you drink your electrolytes, so you
return them. I just got to keep doing my
electrolytes and then I'll be good.
The doctor concluded that the patient
died from, here we go.
Oh boy.
Here we go.
Pseudo-aldo.
Let me start over.
Oh, dude it.
You got it.
Sudo-hyper-eldo-steroonism.
Duh.
Sudo-hyper-eldo sternorism.
A medical condition.
I could have told him that.
Where your body mimics the effects of elevated aldosterone with high blood pressure
and black licorice intake had triggered this man's
ventricular fibulation.
Okay, yeah.
Now, I'm trying to understand, like, was it just this guy?
So maybe...
Why aren't more people dying?
Yeah, I thought we were in America there, Mr. Grossman.
Hey!
Speak English.
Why don't you join...
Get out.
The less of people that need to be American, bad bunny one, you two.
2008 has a story where a 55-year-old woman arrives...
Oh, there's more.
With low potassium levels and high blood pressure, unresponsive...
She needs a banana.
She reported.
ate one to two packages of black liquorish daily for four years.
Okay, no, see, that's, that's crazy.
You're crazy.
Wow.
But, you know what?
You did this to me.
Now, I don't know if I'm going to eat it.
You did this to me!
And then you reverse Uno did on me!
Flipped it up on you.
My, I'll the turntable.
Man, because I do like black...
I'm not eating enough to die.
I'm not eating enough.
I'm not going to talk myself out of black licorish if I enjoy it.
Well, both just...
just split a bag, that way we're safe.
And we're not in our 50s yet, so we're not.
Exactly.
Right?
We're not.
I agree with Ace.
What they say.
That's a very good statement for that.
Man, she is out of control on the black licorice, and I agree.
That lady was out of, that's out of control.
Well, she, much like many addicts, she got black licorice to replace her smoking.
Oh, so anytime she wanted a, duch, any time she wanted a smoking dart.
Gotcha.
Rip open a fresh pack of Sig Newton's and get down to it.
she, like most addicts, finds another thing to replace their addiction with.
Usually it's Jesus or the gym.
In her case, it was black licorice.
Black licorice.
So candy corn and black licorice most hated.
Yeah.
And then right underneath it are those peanut butter treats.
What is that one?
The black and orange.
Oh.
The little wrappers.
Those peanut butter ones.
Peanut butter treats.
I think they do like those.
Those are awful.
Now, this list refers to something as marshmallow candy.
Is that circus peanuts?
Probably.
Because I can't think of any other marshmallow candy.
No, peeps aren't hollow.
I mean, they are now.
We'll just assume it's at.
If it's in the bad list, it's got to be those.
Even I don't like circus peanuts.
Yeah, I can't even.
I'll defend candy corn to the day I die from black licorice poisoning, but I will never defend.
I don't like circus peanuts.
I don't like that taste.
It's like you're eating packing foam.
Well, see, the texture is weird.
It doesn't bother me, but it's just weird, but it's the taste.
It's that weird, like, not orange.
And it squeaks on your teeth.
Yeah, that, yeah.
I don't like any of that.
Nah, get out of here.
Also on the decline, caramel apples.
Oh.
Dude, I'll tell you right now, my favorite apple is a candy-coated apple with peanuts on it,
and they don't sell those anywhere.
I can never find them.
It's always caramel with peanuts.
Oh, yeah, I was going to say,
Walmart.
They have them there?
Like in that produce section, right there.
They've got the whole bunch of the, all that.
You can actually, you can buy that.
The kit?
Yeah, the candy one.
I'll tell you what I will be buying at my earliest convenience that I didn't even know
we're out there until I saw it commercially yesterday.
These Kit Kat counts, look up Count Kit Kat.
It's a Kit Kat is trying to get into the Reese's game where they're making shapes.
and it looks like it's a Kit Kat bar
but in the shape of Count Dracula, right?
Oh yeah, look at you.
What's it called?
What's the actual name of it?
Oh, oh, just Halloween lovers?
Oh, wait, no, no.
Count, no, counts, counts, counts.
Yes, you're right.
It's a big one, right?
Yeah, I'm going to get that so bad.
I'm going to get that count.
Look at that. That's cool.
Right? They're trying to get into the shape game.
You don't like Kit Katz?
No, I do. Here's the thing.
I can see it split open.
Uh-huh.
It's just a big Kit Kat.
Yeah, what'd you think it was?
I don't know.
What?
More KitKatty than a regular KitKat, but it's just a big old KitKat.
Yeah, it's just a KitKat, Bud. Sorry.
And so this is, it's making it so I can't.
Kit Kat made bunnies, too. I don't remember that.
So I can't share.
That's what it is.
It's a Kit Kat you can't share.
I never would anyways.
Well, no, but that's what this is.
It's specifically for you.
Just one person only.
I like the...
I'm hoping to get a few of those.
And they're over an eye.
I think they didn't go very well.
The ghost toast ones.
What is that?
Like a cinnamon toast crunch type whatever.
It's a K-Kat?
Yeah, this one.
Like French toast, whatever.
I try that too.
Those are good.
I liked those.
I also found real quick,
speaking of candy at Walmart,
those peelable,
you know,
the peeling candies that were all big forever,
that were like gummies
and you peeled the layers.
Remember those?
They were huge for a little bit.
I don't remember those.
not worth it. They're not good. They were
it. It's fine, but it wasn't anything
like crazy. It just made your hands
sticky. Yeah, I don't
need to party with that. Nah, they were a big deal for
a while. So what candy is on the
incline? What's gaining
popularity here?
I don't.
Something I would. Yeah, I got you.
Haribow gummy bears, my
friend.
Herribo gummy bears. A little bag, I guess.
Because it's those little packs of them people are down
with now.
Little bag, I guess.
Oh, all right.
I don't like that.
Also.
So, little packs.
Up 42% in sales this year, and I can't think of any reason why.
Baby Ruth candy bars.
Baby Ruth?
Baby Ruth?
Did that do anything?
Did the Goonies do anything?
No.
No, why would Baby Ruth be on the increase?
Did that, uh, did Babers die?
And that's what a...
Yeah, but he died a long time ago.
I literally, that's like one of my top favorite candy bars.
Really, baby Ruth?
Yeah.
I love it.
I do like a good baby the Ruth.
That is a good one.
And I can't think of a reason why.
Just Hershey Kisses.
Straight up Hershey Kisses.
37% interest this year.
You don't like Hershey Kisses?
No, I do, but that one's like, yeah.
Got a Hershey Kiss.
You can be bummed out about it?
Yeah, you ain't got no more candy.
That's all I got is a little chocolate drops.
Give me a little chocolate, a little nipple.
A little chocolate little nipple.
Other growth we've seen this year, as far as,
trends in candy.
Macha cookies?
139% growth. What is that?
That's that...
Macha's a drink, right?
Yeah, it's like that green seaweed stuff that I kind of...
Or grass. It tastes like grass.
All these cookies tastes like grass.
No, thank you.
You're picking on me for baloney, but you're all out there eating grass cookies.
I like macha.
Get out of here.
Yeah, you're...
What?
We're terrified.
I mean, you're terrified to eat licorice.
Uh-huh.
But you're over here talking about how I'm going to bring you a 48.
pack a baloney and you're going to eat it in an hour.
Yeah, my body can handle that, though.
It's ready for it.
It's used to, it's used to process meats.
That you're good to go.
It knows.
Bologna boy knows what he's going to get.
Bologna boy, it's going to line your belly.
Bollie boy going to get in there, okay?
It'll be nice for later time.
Also a trend, and I don't know if you like these or not.
Brittle.
Just straight up brittle, like a peanut brittle, different brittles.
That's not Halloween.
I do like brittle.
You do?
Yeah.
Yeah, but that isn't a Halloween.
What flavor brittle are you going to make?
That's just peanut.
Brittle with caramel. That's the only brittal you can make.
Is there different kinds?
I don't be trying to make up different brittles.
Like a peppermint brittle?
That's peppermint bark.
Oh, it is. You're right.
I mean, I don't know how what you're making.
I'm sure you could, but now Brittle lost all meaning.
I can't say the word brittle.
Riddle, brittle, brittle, burt.
It will make any more sense.
Tomorrow at noon, Coder, you'll be live over at, well, not live.
I mean, yeah, I will be live and in person.
Yeah, I will be live technically.
You'll be alive.
You'll be at Calabrew tomorrow at noon to watch that Georgia Tech game.
Of course.
Eating some wings, drinking some bird.
Well, yes.
Come on.
Get yourself something to eat.
I never miss an opportunity to pick on West Virginia.
No, it's a lot of fun.
And this one hits a little close to home because I think that I think Central New York
and the Mohawk Valley share a little bit with West Virginia on this one.
Parts.
West Virginia can't figure out roundabouts.
Oh, boy.
So the state's just going to cancel them.
I don't know, man.
That's really funny.
Not going great out there.
The West Virginia Department of Highways
Just forget it.
Has canceled the roundabout project
because people just
I can't figure it out, Cody.
It's just too much going on.
The edition starts now with a breaking news alert.
Our 530 edition. Today begins with breaking news.
A controversial construction project in Putnam County
has not just been canceled.
Controversia. A roundabout is controversy.
What are they? Cicero?
What are they? Cicero?
Where I'm just supposed to be going in circle?
Man, you guys literally have lost your goddamn minds out there.
You just can't figure out how to navigate those things out there.
I don't know. Where's there a Cicero roundabout?
Well, there's a couple now, but now they've made their way all the way down.
Now right where I...
Right where I lived when you come out of that liquor store area and the Walgreens.
Yeah, that's a roundabout are going to be?
Nope, there it is now.
Oh, boy.
And guess what?
What's crazy is you people that are all flipping out about all that would have known about it.
Let's see, was it four or five years ago, six years ago that I learned that they were going to do it in one of those meetings that nobody went to where they told you.
You expect people to get involved in local politics, Cody?
They told us there would be a roundabout.
And I said that'd be awesome because that love.
intersection is awful.
Anybody who doesn't, I don't know how to...
I like them.
I love roundabouts.
As long as you can do it, as long as people are, that's the problem.
As long as everyone's doing them correctly, then it would be good.
Go over, go over to Griffiths where they got that whole stretch aroundabouts and just practice.
Takes them a little bit.
Just practice.
Because you're going to have to.
I don't know what to tell you.
It is the future.
It helps.
It's the same.
You'll get good at that.
you're going to have to get good at the construction
because it's going to be here forever.
If you people around here,
I just don't understand how we just can't grasp
even light zipper method.
I know.
In traffic.
Every stupid idiot is three miles back pulled over.
And yes, I get it where the guy that comes ripping up the side,
everyone gets annoyed, kind of,
that that guy has come all the way up the side
and now wants to get over.
Right.
But for a lot of it,
that's kind of what you're supposed to be doing.
That's what you're supposed to be doing.
to be doing. You're supposed to do the zipper method.
It's insane the amount of people that
will get over three miles
back and just sit there where like
if you guys would all just slowly
boom boom boom boom boom I know there needs to be
like instead of all these weird AI
like New York State commercials they make
they got to just do some educational
driving and traffic ones.
Like hey the zipper method is proven
to speed up traffic this amount of money
this amount of time. The roundabout this is
how it works. No it's one of those where
if like every
couple years, you know, well,
maybe every couple, but every so often,
you might have to take a driving
class to learn some of the things
that you've never seen in your entire lives
apparently, because some of the boomers
that you see that have never seen
a roundabout or have never seen
some of these, these parking, these traffic signals
or... Carrier circle for my
almost entire life. Right?
And they're still... And you still can't figure it out?
There's still people over there that you see
that it just is baffling.
It's baffling. I mean, I've been
driving carrier circle for at least
since I was 16. It's been
there. I don't know when they built that thing, but it's always
been there. And I mean, I understand
a little if you're, you know, you're nervous or
scared. But also they're...
But, uh, you know,
like, then maybe figure out
another thing or I don't know. I don't know. Yeah,
there's nothing you can do. The one in Bridgeport is
small, but it works. It keeps traffic
moving. It really does.
Once you, they all figure it out
and I think once that
you get it, that, especially
see that one right there in Cicero, it'll be worth it because, man, you would have to sit at that
light forever.
For so long.
And if it works, then they move down to the worst intersection in all of Central New York.
Which is what?
That's where that's headed.
The 41 Cicero intersection there?
The one that's Route 11 and 31 where it crosses right there.
That's hell.
That's hell on earth right there.
It's hell.
And eventually they're going to make it around about you think?
Again, everyone would know this.
It started.
At the, when you take a left to go to Sylvan Beach and Verona Beach and all that right there.
Then it's moving down.
And then it's going to keep moving down.
Now there's the Cicero one now.
Like, these are a coming.
But why would you expect people to pay attention to their local politics?
Yeah.
Okay?
They want to be mad about who's going to be the mayor of New York City.
That makes them angry.
That makes them angry.
That makes me angry.
And that's seeing today that they have scrapped the plans to widen Taze Valley Road.
Charlie Roth is in the newsroom.
Charlie?
Charlie, take us on the roundabout, Charlie.
Tell us.
Hey, Charlie.
Hey, guys, it's a project that the DOH itself called divisive.
In 2024, it announced plans to help ease traffic congestion on Taze Valley Road near Scott's Depot in Putnam County.
None of these places make sense.
No.
...putting the road and putting in four roundabouts.
Supporters of the plan said that it would help with traffic and cut down on accidents.
But opponents were concerned it wouldn't help much, and the project would require some businesses
like the town's decades old dairy queen to close down.
Close down?
Why would it need to close down?
The roundabout is bigger than an intersection.
So if it's right up there on the intersection,
but it's, I mean, it's a dairy.
We can build a new dairy.
Guess what?
It's not a church from the 1800s.
Right, here's the crazy thing about the centuries old dairy queen.
It's a goddamn franchise.
You can build, just put another one up.
You just put up another one.
It's not hard.
West Virginia Transportation Secretary Todd Rumbaw said in the state,
that none of the proposed plans adequately address the problem while reaching an agreement
with the community. Rumbaw saying his office, quote, cannot in good conscious commit state
and federal funding to a project that does not solve the problems identified on Taze Valley
Road, particularly as it relates to reducing crashes. To do so would be...
All right, this is more. I'm bored of that.
Yeah, I was to say, oh my God. So they canceled it. The town was too confused by roundabouts and
they canceled it. They couldn't figure it out. No kids. Big, big.
Big men, parliament.
That's a problem.
Big men, parliament.
Almost.
The spooktacular stroll wraps up this weekend.

What's going on now?
What's going on with your boy Kevin James?
Oh, what?
Have you been following this Matt Taylor thing?
I don't know who Matt Taylor is.
Nobody does.
But it's Kevin James.
But nobody knows why.
So, like, a week ago or so,
and I've been waiting to see if this is like going to fizzle out.
and I don't know what's happening.
All right.
A week or so ago,
this is Matt Taylor.
Started making TikToks talking about his fourth grade class
and how he's an art teacher in fourth grade.
But it's Kevin James.
You want to see one?
Okay.
And it's like, at no point is he ever saying he's Kevin James.
He just keeps saying he's Matt Taylor.
And people are like, what's going on?
Here, this is a quick, if you want to see it, Twitch and YouTube, I'll show you.
Oh, boy.
This is Matt Taylor.
Hey, guys, Mr. Taylor here.
Today, what we're going to try and do is I've had a lot of requests for people having trouble painting a sunset.
And by the way, it's not my specialty either.
But I'm going to try to make it as simple as simple enough that my fourth grade class could actually follow along.
So come with me.
All right, guys.
So I finished my sunset.
Like, he, so what, like this, it's, it's Kevin James.
And he's doing a thing for whatever, was there a show coming out?
Well, nobody really knows.
Like, they say, all right, is he just doing a prank?
Is this like a promo for a movie that's coming out?
Does he have a movie coming out where he's a fourth grade art teacher?
It's, I bet it's some type of promotion for something he's doing.
He's, as much I like King of Queens.
He's not exactly ever been like the brains behind any of his, you know, stuff.
He's just kind of like the guy.
He gets handed some rolls from Sandler.
But no one knows.
Because he's not Chris Farley.
Like no one knows what's going on.
He has an entire classroom in one.
He's in an art supply closet and another one.
He just did the painting one.
Um,
I mean, it's a good painting.
It's a good painting.
It's just no one knows what's going on.
So is he just,
it's been going on for a week.
Okay.
Maybe he just really likes being artsy.
But why is he Matt Taylor?
Who's Matt Taylor?
I don't know.
And I don't think it's AI, for those you're saying it's AI.
It doesn't look like AI to me.
It just, it looks like Kevin James playing a character on a TikTok account,
but never admitting it's Kevin James.
Yeah.
I don't know what this is.
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's going to be for something.
Look up his movie, like IMDB.
Does he have a movie in production or something right now?
Oh, let me see.
That's a good idea.
Kevin James.
Yeah.
Let me see if he's got a movie coming out
where he's an art teacher.
Hold on, how do I see movies on these websites?
I don't know how you kids use your websites.
Yeah, right.
Upcoming.
Playdate and Solo Mio are two movies.
Maybe Playdate one of them.
Let me see what play date is.
Brian has been fired from his job.
He becomes a stay-at-home dad
and accepts a play-date invitation from his brother,
another stay-at-home dad.
Oh, no, from another stay-at-home dad
who turns out to be a loose cannon.
So now neither of the...
Solo Mio.
Yeah?
From 2026.
What is that saying?
After being left at the altar in Rome,
Matt goes on his honeymoon alone
discovering Italy's gorgeous landscape culture and people.
He's Matt.
So maybe he's Matt Taylor in this?
But it's not the same...
You know what I mean?
It's not, he's not like an art teacher or anything,
it says, and there's just he gets stood up
and he's trying to do an artsy movie
because everyone just associates him with, again,
King of Queens,
some of the worst movies ever made,
and then the poor roles that Chris Farley didn't get to do.
Yeah.
It's just weird that we're a week into it,
no one knows really know what's going on.
The other thing is that also...
Is he doing like a Kaufman thing?
No, I was going to say not in a like a...
Nobody cares, because we're talking about it.
But you're Kevin James.
I don't think anyone really cares.
We're confused.
We're confused.
But I don't know if anybody is like losing sleep over trying to figure out.
Like this isn't a who is a.
Who Tony Clifton?
What are you?
No, the who from a, it's always sonny in the mail room when he's trying to find Pepe.
Right.
Was it Pepe Sosa?
So I don't know what this work is.
No one seems to know.
No one's giving any more information.
Right.
No, no one's really saying this is to promote anything.
No one knows what's going on.
So, this is Matt Taylor on TikTok.
If you want to see Kevin James pretending to be somebody else for reasons we don't know.
We're confused.
We will roll into your 90s at 9 with some Jane's addiction here in a moment.
We did it.
What?
Did it a week?
Another week.
Did a week?
Get through the rest of today and you guys got yourself a weekend.
Make sure you stop over see Cody, Akilabrew tomorrow at noon for that Q's game.
Listen.
I'm optimistic, but if it's going to be a beatdown,
it might as well enjoy it with some friends and some food and some booze.
And it's nice and early.
It's nice and early.
Originally a couple weeks ago, it was at like 3.30 now.
It's a nooner.
Nice.
There you go, bud.
Here we go.
You can, of course, hear the Cuse game right here in the Mohawk Valley on 94-9 K-Rock.
And they won technically Syracuse won in our game when we did it.
They did, so it's possible.
94-9K-Rock.
You're home for S-U athletics in the Mohawk Valley, Brostat T-K-9.
has got you covered in the Syracuse and Oswego markets.
Or, you know, just go on down there.
I'm sure there's...
The Georgia?
Affordable travel packages.
Yeah.
I don't know where they play their games.
It's probably frigging gorgeous.
And then they're going to come off this game and have a short week because they play Friday.
Friday and the dome.
Hallorweeny night.
Bill Belichick.
Still booked to me there.
Many things could change.
Yeah, we'll see.
Does UNC plays this weekend, too?
Yeah, this is, I forget who, but...
So they have a short week, too?
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
So listen, we're going to play our football game at the Dallas Cowboy Friday.
You damn right?
We always play the Cowboys.
Cody is his Cowboys.
I will be the Broncos.
I am at home, gaming stream presented by Ryan Phelps Auto Sales.
You are buying with Ryan.
Don't be crying.
Be styling, profiling.
With Ryan Phelps Auto Sales.
90s at 9 starts with some Jane's Addiction.
It's K Rock.
