The Show - CARDIFF GIANT (HOG)

Episode Date: August 26, 2025

Slow down past the Fairgrounds, because it’s only 55. The most expensive sports card ever sold just went to Mr. Wonderful. High Strangness is already solved, but celebrates The Cardiff Giant. And so much more on a Tuesdee!

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. I wish. I bet two.

Tuesday. It'll be a cake. I got a cake right here in these underpants, but look out now. Hey, oh. Can I ask a question? But Kate. Oh, it is. It's Master Danger's birthday on our Twitch.

Happy birthday, Danger. I told you, when I say that, odds are somebody's birthday always. It's got to be somewhere somebody, right? There's people listening over the course of, you know, all the downloads and everything the podcast gets. In an effort to avoid getting a speeding ticket or, like, to help show fam avoid getting a speeding ticket, I know that they usually lower 690 to 55 during the fair, right? Oh, do they? That's what I'm asking.

Because in my memory, they've always put a little 5 or 6. Oh, I didn't know they could do that. I didn't think that was a thing. I never. To slow traffic up by the fairgrounds. Well, it's 55 now, but it's not the temporary signs. It's real 55. Well, I was going to say, I don't think it's 65 anywhere on 690.

It has always been 65 as soon as you get out of past the mall. Oh, really? I don't pay attention enough. At least it did. I mean, I've been driving that route for 13 years now. And then I'm 65 all the way up until almost like Henkel Boulevard. It turns 55 again. Remember I got a speeding ticket there?

So I know where all the things change. Yeah, I don't know. But now. I don't pay attention now. It just looks like it's permanently 55 by the fairgrounds. Do I need to know that? Can anybody tell me that? Or is it a temporary 55 by the fair round?

Or they just put that up a while and they left it because they knew they were going to have to anyway? Yeah, maybe. And we're like, eh, beat it out. But I'm so used to go in 65 rep there. I don't know. They used to be 65. They were talking to changing it.

All right, so maybe it's permanently 55. Because in previous years, those signs, they would just like attach a five over the six. You could tell it was temporary. These are not temporary signs. No, no. This is a normal. These are the real deal.

So I guess, all right, make a note. Because coming the other direction is 65. It starts 65 and I can go all the way to the fair, 65. I'm just asking questions to avoid any more speeding tickets in our lives, friends, okay? If anybody has information on that, I don't know what the rules are. You'd have to bring up, like, that way zap or something and take a peek. Oh, good morning, though. How are we otherwise?

Are we good? Anybody get up the fair? You got a great week for fair this week, man. It's like not hot. It's going to be like 71 or two today for a high. Got those patches of the race. rain where you can bounce around and be like, and avoid all the stupid people. Yeah, jump into a building for a couple minutes.

I loved watching the videos of the people when there was that storm that got caught in it and they're just out there and it's like, what were you doing? Like in the rain, you mean? Yeah, like you saw those videos and I know that there's some, you know, obvious people that you know, nothing you could do. But there just seemed to be a lot of people in those fair videos that, I don't know. Did not see covers what you're saying? Yeah, like, do you think everyone was just yanking your chain when everybody else was sprinting into those buildings and you waited until it was downpouring?

We go through this sprint. Have you not, have you learned nothing yet? Oh, okay, it's going to rain. Oh, sure, okay. I'm going to be out of here with my family. No, actually the news is broken and said it's going to rain. Oh, the news? Oh, did they?

Your news? Okay. Yeah, the one that's here. Yeah, the one that's at the weatherman is on TV. Right behind us. He's right there. He broke into the Little League Hall of World Series. Jim. Jim. Yeah, it's going to rain in a little bit, right?

Yeah. Yeah, because I'm 10 feet behind you. There's a weatherman on site. Okay. Well, I'm looking up, but I don't see rain. Like, these are the people we deal with now. Dunning Kruger is in full effect in this country, and we just enjoy it. We enjoy the ride. And then are they just wet and smelly the west of the day? Yeah. Yeah, they are. I mean, there's, I've been there when it's rained, and yes, not like that. but it's you hang out uh we were in the

I think it was that weird science building that 4H building on at the end there no no no the like the the national grid building you know what I mean? Yeah okay I want to cross from the center of progress that there's like sciencey stuff in kind of but not fun side.

Yeah we were in that and I remember just it was over and then it was done it was just okay everyone just go back to doing what you're doing bye yeah uh-huh you could just see people just walking around just soaking wet. Sister said there's video of a guy who lost his shorts carrying a stroller up the stairs. Oh, man.

There's nothing you can do with that. I speak your name. Because I mean... You see they lost like a $100,000 screen. Oh, really? Like it blew over over by like that state fair, the state police display. Oh, really?

That one. It was like a big screen there. Yep. Got knocked over. That's going to be rough. That's a bad time. Yeah, that sucks. I don't want any damages to happen.

Well, it is a Tuesday. We'll get into your high strangeness today. Kind of a state fair tie-in. But not really. It's just one thing that I want to really talk about. I like the cut of this man's jib. He goes to a town. Oh, my.

Council meeting. Cecil, Pennsylvania. Cecil. And there was a meeting on whether or not the city would be shutting down a local motocross track. Okay. Where they race dirt bikes, I guess. It was too loud, too loud and too annoying for them.

Aw, people having fun. So the guy goes to his town council meeting. Pretends to be a dirt bike. My kind of guy. My kind of guy. I really just came up here to say that. Sorry, real quick. We just need your name and your address for the record, please.

I just came up here to say that. I'm sorry, I need you to stay. You're either going to hear them where they're allowed to be. You need to state your name and address. Okay. You need to be in the video he's running around pretending to be on a dirt bike and I respect the hell out of that, bud.

Awesome. Now he's going to ride back to his seat. Thank you. That's what you're going to get. Don't shut down the motocross track. Now we need. need your name and yeah because we need your name sir sir that's how i'm going to get out of every meeting going forward i'm just going to write out like a dirt bike because that's thank you that's always

worked in a political atmosphere when the so there's somebody trying to uh get a point across when that person the other person that doesn't like it tries to immediately stop them over and over and over it always works it always works out yeah hey hey no no sir i need your name sorry like keep going it were if he didn't answer the first two times he'll definitely respond the next eight Cut off shirt, shorts, riding that dirt bike right around. I love it. Lottie, that's not supposed to get out of jury duty. That's, yes, that's what you're supposed to do.

All right now, do you feel like you are suitable to serve on this journey? Nain, nane, nai, nai, nai. Sterebutt'll hit a big jump. Oh, he just jerry cycled out of here. I don't know where he went. And then just leave. Big smoothie will be out at Ashley Lynn Wine Slushies. Coming up this Friday, 5 to 7, but you don't need to wait for Big Squeaky.

Get over there and see our friends, Lindsay and Leon and the whole crew. I don't know. I should have asked Lindsay if the shakes are available. I don't think they're available at all the locations. I think the shakes are only at that colonnades location. Where we are. Where we are. So if you want to try that peanut buzzer, the cookies and cream,

all the other good good they got over there. Yes. Get over and see our friends at Ashley Lynn Wine, Slushie. A rare dual logo man card featuring NBA Legends, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant sold at auction yesterday, Cody. Okay. It is now being listed as the most expensive sports card ever sold. Oh, wow.

I will tell you what's on it. A couple million then. It is a two-thath, it's a one-of-a-kind, 07-08, upper deck, exquisite collection card, which includes player jersey patches and autographs. And it's a split, so it's a Kobe Jordan. It must be, yeah. Mm-hmm.

How much do you think that sold for? Which is interesting because Jordan didn't. They didn't play together, no. I don't know why they made this card. Let's see here. $2 million. I don't know. I don't know the highest card.

So I'll tell you this. The Honest Wagner baseball card that everybody coveted, the T206. Okay. Sold for $7.25 million. Oh, oh boy. Oh, okay. Mickey Mantle's card, the number 311.

Wow. Sold for 12.6. million dollars. This card sold for 12.9. Wow, that is insane, man. There's been an uptick in cards again. Car collecting and stuff. Thank God, because

people like me that were told to sit on your cards, your entire life, missed every wave of any time they were popular. Are you going to miss this wave? Are you going to sell them off? I don't know. I mean, because, I mean, there's our voice. I mean, I could, but I don't know the, I mean, Polly could probably handle it.

He's doing it. He's got a whole side hustle where he's selling it. I mean, there's selling cards. Because I don't know if I'd miss it, but some of them I probably would. Because the last time I looked at any of them was unfortunately when Kobe passed away. And I looked and I, at least then, I had some valuable Kobe Bryant cards. So, I mean, that'd be nice. If I got close to what they were worth, I would have a couple grand from some basketball cards.

Do you like money or cards more? I like money more than I like collectibles. I mean, the money would help more, but I've had, you know, I've had the Kobe Bryant's. There is rookies a couple of them, so it's like, I've had him for so long. I don't know. This sold to Shark Tank Star Kevin O'Leary, who is insufferable, but he's got more money than he needs, so that's why he has $12.9 million to buy this card. Previously, the top basketball card was a one-of-a-kind Steph Curry logo man,

rookie card that sold for $5.9 million. Really? Mm-hmm. I would not have guessed the Steph Curry card, but okay. The gold variant. I don't really know much about any of the sports cards anymore. Not that I ever did. I don't really either.

I just know some that I have. I know a couple of them are of decent value. Because there's still card shows that go on all the time, right? People are going to these card shows. But now I feel like these card shows, they focus a lot more on like Pokemon or Magic to Gathering, stuff like that. Yeah, a lot of those when you go into them. So it's a lot harder to find.

Because, man, back in the day, you just go in any more. mall in any given weekend. They were having those card shows right in the middle of everything all the time. Yeah, I only got into basketball cards briefly because my friend in school liked them, but I never really kept anything or knew what it was worth. Yeah, I've definitely got

of the things that I still have of my possessions, my card collection is still with me. What if you're sitting on a million dollar card? Don't even know it. Honestly, no joke for the for the cards that I have. I wouldn't be shocked if I actually really did.

I've got a pretty decent collection of really old ones and good ones because when I was collecting was, it was like the heyday of, especially the basketball players, man. You name a basketball player. I mean, I probably got his rookie from, you know, anywhere from 1990 to, you know, 2000. Might be time to spin those off for some cash money, bud. Well, speaking of things I will spin off was I was looking,

And I've got some, like, random wrestling figures. Like, I've got a Hulk Hogan three-pack that I just, I randomly Googled just to see. And it's going for like 70 bucks right now, and I have it. Yeah, start spinning this stuff off. That I don't. What are we saving it for? Let these other people have their collectibles. I like money more.

If it means something to somebody, they have the three-pack of Hulk Hogan from, you know, 2000, whatever, then sure, there you go. I mean, yeah, Deb held on to all this stuff for a reason. Go ahead and get yourself some cash. money for this. I still, I do want to look. To see if you have that Menendez Brothers card? Because honestly, I really could.

A lot of people did. I really could have that card. You don't know who was the player? Mark Jackson. So Mark Jackson is printed out a card in the background or just the Menendez brothers. And wasn't it like the day or it's like around the time they killed their parents? It had to have been close because they're adults. You know what I mean?

Like they're, if you told me that they used the money from the whatever to. To buy front row seats? Then I would say, okay, that makes sense. The Menendez brothers, yeah, they're there. I'm looking at it. Mark Jackson. They're right there in the background. Yeah, but I got to know the story behind this. It's got to be.

It's got to be. Well, if you look at them in the card, they're of that age, so it's got to be within a year. In 1989, the Menendez brothers infamously murdered their parents and went on a lavish spending spree, including buying court side seats to a New York Knicks game. Oh, you can't kill your parents. then go to a basketball game.

So this is like, this is a freshly murdering duo on a card. Can you see the card? Yeah. What team is Mark Jackson? Is it the Cavs or the Knicks? He is on the Knicks.

Okay. He's passing the ball. And which makes it really easy is that back then, you didn't really, you know, again, OCD, no, that's not a thing. I was just very anal. Yeah. All of my,

particular. All of my cards are, for all sports, are sorted by teams. and by my liking of that team at that point. So the Knicks have their own section. It would be very easy to find, and they'd be in my first binder because I liked them. So that'd be a quick find.

Yes. He'll know how to find them easily. Again, Cody's just particular. Yeah, no. We're just going to separate every single card I have by its team. I can't figure out what this is because there's a 94-95 rare Michael Jordan Menendez Chicago Bulls poster? Were they at a Chicago?

Did they go to a Bulls game too? They made it out of Michael Jordan poster. They sell them for two grand. No way. The Menendez card doesn't work that much because I think they printed so many of them. Yeah, no, it's just like a random low-level card. Like if you get a mint one, it's a thousand bucks, but generally it's like 20, 30 bucks. No, that one I would be, I want it to have just to keep.

I want to just see if I have the Menendez brothers card. Oh, the Menendez brothers. What a weird world this is. Also, I got to remind me, I got to ask Badger whenever he's done vacationing, working at the fan. Yeah, double time. I downloaded that shoe app, that Stock X thing, because it dawned on me to finally figure out what type of Jordan shoes I have. Yeah. I just did my phone thing.

The ones that you found? No, that I bought for not even that much, those rare, the rare retro Jordans. And I Google lensed or whatever. and it brought up some pricey numbers. Dude, sneaker heads are big money spenders. I got to get rid of these things, man. You got to sell those off. I got to get rid of these things.

I got them just to flip them anyway because I believed the person when they said that, you know, they needed them gone because they were, you could get money for them. Yeah, as your financial advisor, I'm saying one in the hand is worth two in the bush. Let's sell some stuff off. And these aren't even anything that I can't even wear them. So, I mean.

There's nothing to you then. That's what I mean. I bought them just to flip, but I can't figure out how to sell things on this stupid app. Yeah, you got to ask Badger. There comes a point where all these things you're holding on to, what's the point, you know? What's the point?

Because you're going to die and there's going to be an estate sale. Well, especially if... And Randos will start buying your stuff. Might as well live some money, make some money live off it. Especially if your stuff, you don't really... Some stuff you don't care. Right. Like these, I don't care.

I bought them specifically to flip. So... I don't think I have any collection. collectibles at all. The more I think about it, the only things that I really like to save are like banned posters that have been autographed. I guess you could say those are collectibles,

but I like them as art. I like looking at them. I eventually, I have one of my things like in a, like where I made it myself, like a big collage. I've got a ton of that stuff too where I got to figure out something to do with all of them.

I don't think it's worth anything. No, no, no. No, I just want to put them all up into something because I have them all in a box. Like, you know, I've been here for almost 20 years. Sure. Sure. I've accumulated quite a bit of banned stuff. Autographed things.

Yeah, like on my wall right now, Robin Jojo gave me an autographed soul coughing poster. Love them. I've got my autographed Harvey Danger set list. Got my autographed Chevy Chase Christmas poster. That's awesome. My autographed Napoleon Dynamite poster. Awesome.

Those are the things I like saving, you know? Yeah, I've got stuff like that. I don't know anything. Yep, like my Paul Rubens. Yes, Peeley. My Peeley-Ierman poster sign, that stuff, yep. Chris and Veronica gave me a Doc Brown autograph with Christopher Lloyd signature on it. I think that's what that was from.

I just like all that stuff. Chris and Veronica also gave me a real big fish skateboard that was autographed. I like autographs on stuff. And then I can look at it, but I don't think it's worth any money. No, a lot. Like my little treasure trove of trinkets there that I have set up, I don't think many of them are worth all that much, but they're just my favorite little things. The real values, the friends we made along the way.

And that other part of that saying. Something, I don't know. Longtime listeners of the show. First time callers. First time callers. Know that I've been a Grandpa Joe hater from day one. Yes, you have. I've always hated Grandpa Joe.

Now it's a big meme on the internet. I'm not saying I started it, but I was on the... You were the one that turned to me. I never really thought about it until, you know, you brought it up. He was sitting in that... bad for a real long time and then suddenly they win a ticket to a chocolate factory and he couldn't help

his poor. I'm dancing around. Daughter do anything there. Just laid there with his weird Coke nail. Laid there. And listen, I get mad at Charlie too because of all the people he could have brought his mother, his mother's working her ass off for you, Charlie. Yep. But you bring your grandfather who just lays in his bed. What about the woman doing laundry and making

cabbage soup for the family? Cabbage soup for the family, Charlie. But I digress. Because the new movie character that we're all hating, and I'm on board for this one too. Ooh. Rose from Titanic. Do you file the hate for her?

No, yeah, this one's an older one. It's an older one? I like this one. I'm on board with this one. I can't remember the first time I saw it. I've seen it a few times, but it's getting real traction, and I agree with it. No, I always thought it was funny, just because of the... It's so infuriating.

Well, there's room. There's room. No, no. Oh, there's more? The other thing that Rose did. So there's, yes, you're right. I've never seen the Titanic. Oh, wow.

I never needed to. It's everywhere. Well, no, it was one of those where I was like, it hits an iceberg and they all almost die. Yes, you're right. So I guess there's two branches of hate for Rose from Titanic. So is it the when she pose nude thing? No.

What's the other thing? She couldn't get on the door, yes. And that's one, phase of hate. But at the end of the movie, when she takes, you'd ever seen it. So let me explain it to you. They're out on the Titanic looking for this

heart of the ocean necklace or whatever. That she throws back into the ocean. For whatever reason. And people are all like, rose through a $250 million necklace into the ocean to honor a guy she hooked up once. Meanwhile, her husband spent his life working and her granddaughter had to care for her. Rose is the real villain of the Titanic.

I'm with it. Because I've seen like SNL things. Aren't they doing Are they really doing a thing where she's like sitting around recounting and there's a bunch of weird people like sitting staring at her?

Dude at the end. Is that what it really is? Right? Yeah, where she comes back. And it flashes back to her and it's her and she's like there's an old lady. Spoiler alerted. Jack must have been the greatest hog of her life

because she is just like fantasy. It's all she thinks about. Poor husband's sitting there like Yeah, thanks. Thanks, Rose. I've helped you raise this family. We've raised children together, but yeah.

Where'd you get that necklace? You banged a guy on a ship once. Right. You banged a stowaway on a ship once. Oh, you banged an illegal immigrant. You hook up with that guy, and it's all you think about. Great, all right. Maybe that was her fur?

I don't think it was her first. Because wasn't she hooking up with that? I was going to say the whole word. A-hole? I almost just said it. That A-hole everybody hates on Titanic. I love that guy. Is it Billy Zane? Yeah, Billy Zane, the mummy.

Cindy, it was love and lost. It was lost. It was lost. The only thing I ever knew about that movie is growing up when like chicks wanted to watch it and you, they would take it out and you would see that it was two two cassettes. No, no,

anything else. Anything else. Two VHS. That's one of the, that is one of the times that I actually I've shared the story before. Where I pitted my parents against each other. Yep. Because there was a girl who lived at the end of the road who I dated briefly.

She wanted to watch Titanic, which I knew I was going to get to make out with her if we watched Titanic. It's three hours. Yeah. So I asked my mom, can I go down to her house and watch Titanic? My mom said no. When mom left, I go to Bobbles upstairs. Stepdad. He doesn't know what's going

on. Yeah, yeah. I go, hey, can I go down and oh, yeah, Josh, go, whatever. I don't care. So then when I came home from making out, Tam Tam was not pleased. You had your tongue down and dirty old throat, didn't you? Listen, you got to get where you can get it, you know what I'm saying? All right.

But for those of you who are considering making out during Titanic, it's too long for a makeout movie. It's three freaking hours, dude. It's one of those where you got to start it and then, you know, at some point through it, you take it somewhere else. and then once you're done, if there's still a movie left, you do that awkward, do you watch a movie show?

See, I never took it to somewhere else. I was never going to go to another location. It was only going to be making out. Not even like over the shirt stuff. That you knew. Yeah, I guess you're right. Never know. Well, Rose is the real villain of Titanic, and I like that.

And I do know that she shows her movies. That I know. Kate Winslet, you get to see some. She shows her boobies. And my favorite meme on the internet. That is the one where Jack is showing Rose something, like his book of sketches. Yeah. But they replaced it with something ridiculous, like his book of pogs or something.

And he's like, his is my pogs. Pokemon cards. I like that a lot. I like that a lot. Good morning. Happy Tuesday. Tuesday means. High.

Strange. Isn't it. The unexplained, the unsolved. The unsolved. The Strange. Now, the bummer about today's is that it is solved. This is not a mystery. It's a hoax.

But it's a very cool hoax with very local ties. And the reason I want to do it, and I'm going to say this, I need to be careful because I don't want this guy to, you know, sue me or whatever. Sue me, sue me, sue me. But at the state fair this year, a gentleman named Snake has brought BigFee. He has the body of Bigfoot. Oh, yeah, I forgot. On display.

I want to want over there to see Bigfoot. Right. And I don't want Snake to sue me, so I'm going to say, sure, it's Bigfoot. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I got to see for myself, then I'll tell you. Sidebar conversation is I did not know how into Bigfoot Christy Cassiano is, dude. Really? Oh, boy.

She's real, like, they did the episode, like, Channel 9 went to, went to Snake and, like, looked at the thing. Yeah. Christy was so into it. I mean, all right. But listen. What? Why am I? I'm not doing a Bigfoot story today.

What this reminds me of is one of my favorite local stories and that is of the Cardiff Giant. And I don't know if I referenced the Card of Giant a lot on this show and I don't know if people know the story. So I figured this would be a good opportunity because the Card of Giant is local. The Card of Giant came through Syracuse quite a bit very much like a state fair exhibit was not during the time of the fair. I was going to say, I don't think I, was it ever when we'd be able to see it?

No, it was a turn of the century, 1869. Oh, nice, 69. But the cool thing is there's a lot of local elements of it and it got us the attention of P.T. Barnum, if you're new to the show on K. Rock, I'm a circus freak. I love the stories of circuses and old traveling exhibits and road shows. One of my favorite things to learn about. So let's talk about the cool. Cardiff Giant. Oh, right?

So for those of you that don't know the Cardiff Giant, back in October of 1969, nice. Workers digging a well in Cardiff, New York, uncovered about a 10-foot tall giant. Now, anybody, I don't want to distract us from the story I'm going to do here. Okay. Cody, just Google Cardiff Giant. I don't even know if I can show it on Twitch. The Cardiff Giant was very well endowed. There's a lot of penis on this thing, all right?

Not to Sully a good high strangeness segment. I don't know why they put so much attention on the penis. But it's a lot of penis. Oh, my God. He died. Yeah. So the story of the Cardiff Giant was, oh, this must be a petrified human from time.

of whatever. Now, with a giant dong for some reason. Yeah, I mean, it's really real. We know now that the Card of Giant was fake, but I feel like I want to go through the story of what the Card of Giant was and watered off. Who faked it? The Well Diggers?

Kind. No. The well diggers were tricked. Oh. So George Hall. It's that Simpsons episode. Was a tobacconist. They designed that show after the Like this. Gotcha.

But the Carter Giant wasn't to promote a mall. The giant was the creation of New York tobacconist George Hall. He lived downstate kind of near Binghamton. He got into an argument, this is so 1860s, he got into an argument with his reverend about Genesis 6-4, which states there are giants who once lived on Earth. Hall lost the argument, but he decided, you know what I'm going to do? is I'm going to make a giant. How did he lose the argument?

Did they get into their time machine? He felt like he didn't prove his case enough, so he was going to make a giant. Gotcha. So what he did is he went, and I'm going to post a video of the whole explanation. I didn't have time last night to do all the editing I usually do, so I'm going to just play a little clip here. But he goes and buys this giant slab of rock, has an artist,

does that make, you know, carve a giant, a 10 foot tall giant. So it's out of stone, it's a stone thing? It is a block of gypsum. Okay. He bought it out in Iowa. They transported it back. He was lying. He was like, no, no, we're going to make an Abe Lincoln monument back in New York.

With a huge crank. With the biggest penis you've ever seen. Let's start with the dog. So nobody knows what the guy does, this is George Hall. He gets this giant piece of gypsum. Has an artist carve it into a 10-foot, 4.5 inch long, and I'm telling you, his penis is that 4.5 inches. Giant. He wants to create a hoax.

So he's got this other guy, Newell. William Newell, who owns a farm in Cardiff. So it's just George Hall and just William Newell, who know this is a hoax. and they take this gigantic giant, go to Newell's farm, and really thoughtfully bury it. Yeah. They bury it under roots to make it look like it's been there for a while. Yeah.

So then George Newell, or William Newell, who wants to get the hoax started, this is where it starts. He has two employees. Yeah. And he says, guys, I need you to go dig a well at this specific location. Now, you know, you and I know why he wants him to go to this. location. That's where the water, best water is. That's where the best water is. Yes.

I'm going to rely on Slapsham Mysteries on YouTube to tell you a little bit more. Could you imagine though if they went to do this and they were just they had, you know, obviously back then they didn't have it. If they had like a jackhammer and they just Bap, Bap, Bop, B, B, B, yeah. I don't know what that was. Bap, Bap, B, B, no! Oh, see it's penis. Oh, it's the penis okay.

I guess that's all I really care about. So let me lean on Slaptam Mysteries. I'll post a whole video on our Facebook page. Get comfy. This is where we're at with the Card of Giant. George Hall and William Newell have buried this giant. They want to trick people into thinking there was giants that roamed the earth back, you know, during Genesis.

Here's where the hoax begins. Newell, ever the trusted collaborator, wasted no time in an acting Hull's cunning plan. He enlisted the services of two unsuspecting workers, Gideon Emmons and Henry Nichols, ostensibly to dig a well in the very same area where the fabricated giants slumbered beneath the earth. Unbeknownst to these laborers, the shovels downward thrusts soon struck something hard and unyielding. As the soil was carefully cleared away, a monumental revelation unfolded before their very eyes. A stone foot, belonging to a figure of gargantuan proportions, began to emerge from the earth's embrace. With a mixture of awe and disbelief, they continued.

their excavation, uncovering the rest of the colossal figure, a giant man reclining on his back, his features, frozen in time. If you want to see photos, and they did get photos of this, we are in Twitch right now, Twitch.com.T.V.T.T.V.T.m.T.W.D.R.D.T.W.D.W.D.D.W. Why? Downward thrusts. Again, I feel like you're all really focusing on the penis. Not so much.

Yeah, thrust and all that. Gertie, downward thrust with their hard throbbing. But today's high straitist is less strange and more like circusy and kind of, you know. But back then, can you imagine that? They probably freaked the out. The people that, you know, didn't know, like those two workers. Can you imagine you're just, oh, what is this? And it's off.

But. Yeah, of course, it's because no one knew how anything worked back. in the day. Yeah. What is this? Yeah. Jojo says, is this the giant

that is at the Farmers Museum in Cooperstown? That is a replica, but yes. In the midst of this extraordinary discovery,

one of the men reportedly exclaimed, I declare some old Indian has been buried here. News of the astonishing find spread like wildfire

through the tranquil streets of Cardiff, beckoning curious onlookers from all corners of the town. Men abandoned their toil, rushing to the scene

of this while women cradled their infants and gathered their children, eager for a glimpse of the sudden spectacle that had graced their quiet lives. So this is one reason I'm obsessed with the circus. If I can just do a sidebar quick, the reason that the Card of Giant was so, I guess, exciting for people is because back in that time, nothing really happened. No, nothing's been ruined yet.

Nothing's been ruined. Nothing's been invented yet. So. I get it. When I watch my circus, documentaries and read about circuses, that was the one day of the year, anything happened in town. Yeah. Otherwise, it's just misery, working.

I mean, look at how this started. Yeah. Two people were arguing over a Bible verse or whatever the hell. Like, that's because that's all there was. So if you're like, books and stuff. No, no, there was get up. Somebody may have had one, but you'd be real rich. Tend to the land until you die, go to bed.

Yep. So now you're telling me, wait a minute. One of these farms down the road has a 10-foot-tall giant with a huge dong. I'm going to go see that. If you hear there's a giant with a huge dong, you go. You cradle your children and you go and look. The region known for its deposits of fossils. It was only natural that assumptions ran rampant.

Many speculated that this colossal figure was, in fact, the petrified remains of an ancient man, preserved through the ages by the waters of a nearby swamp. Even experts of the time lent credence to this theory, as some embarked on early examinations. Among them, a science lecturer from Syracuse offered an intriguing alternative, that the giant was not a man at all, but a statue, perhaps carved by French Jesuits centuries ago. As Cardiff grappled with the enigma that had surfaced on its doorstep, the true nature of the Cardiff giant remained veiled in mystery, poised to challenge the very foundations of belief and understanding.

So now there's a gigantic giant giant giant, sorry, for the redundancy, in Cardiff, New York. And people want to travel to see it. And now it's making money, because now people are going to pay to see this giant. Yes. On the first day, visitors were able to see the giant with no fee charged. Although the next day, Newell caught on. And we started charging visitors 50 cents for a 15-minute session. Think about 50 cents back then, dude.

I was just going to say that back then was probably What, wait, what's the, I don't know what, I was going to try to do the, what? The conversion, 50 cents in what, 1869? What's the, in, how do I say this? Like how much, how much is 50 cents worth? How much was 50 cents worth in 1869? Here's what I found.

50 cents. I don't know. I don't know. Siri sucks. Siri's the worst. I don't know how to ask what I want. It's like a month's pace, Cindy is right. But it's a lot.

But the other thing is that with all, I like that it took, of course again, from Syracuse, all these people that were doing these collaborations on it. Like how many people didn't just be like, it's stone.

Well, I think that researcher from Syracuse tried. Right? That's what like, but it's also 1869. People are like, people look at petrified. Maybe.

Yeah, people don't turn to stone. That doesn't happen. But we don't know. We don't know. But again, yeah, we don't know stuff yet. We don't know stuff yet.

You're just tuning in today's high strangest is the story of the Card of Giant. One of our very local, it's equivalent of like 17 bucks. Wow, so you got to drop a 20 spot. That ain't bad. This is the story of the Card of Giant. One of our local, not a mystery because we know it's a hoax, but it's a cool timeline and a story

and something that we would have seen at the State Fair had we been alive. As the spectacle of the Cardiff Giant continued to capture the imagination of rural New York. William Newell, the humble farmer who had become an unwitting conspirator in the grand hoax, found himself thrust into a role he had never anticipated. Stop with thrust! In the part of the modest farmer, Newell presented himself to the throngs of curious onlookers,

basking in the intrigue and awe that surrounded the supposed antiquity discovered on his land. At one point, he even declared his intent to re-bury the giant and wash his hands the entire affair. But his neighbors, astute and forward thinking, argued that this unearthed wonder might hold significant historical value, a realization that altered the course of the Cardiff Giant's

history. Uh-oh. Rural New York had never witnessed a spectacle quite like this. Newspapers heralded it as a new wonder. The Syracuse Standard. The Syracuse Standard writes, the Valley of Onondaga has a romance of beauty in its wild

scenery, and as the home of the famous tribe of Red Men and of the Forest, the Onondaga, around whose council fires the chief and the young warriors of the six nations. I can't read old papers. What the hell? Did they have sentences back then?

Did we not invent sentences back then? It's probably the same people. Can't work it over there now. It commences at the head of Onondaga Lake. That's a good joke from sister. What sisters are that? That's all you can read if you're not a subscriber. Damn it.

The Syracuse Standard demands I give them 12 cents to continue reading this article. I need a one a nickel if you won't read anymore about this petrified joint we do, mate. Not so, fan, then. I think so, Joshua Grisphan, of the gross fence of you, Ica. Hold on a second. Hold on a second. Here you, hear ye. I am Donald of the Syracuse standard to announce that one of your local easel. Did not pass inspection. Oh, can you tell us who it was?

Give me 12 pence and I will. I already bought the paper. Wait, hold it. Where can I eat? Oh! Wouldn't you like to know subscriber exclusive? Two of your local restaurants are okay. Three of them have got a touch of the play.

Who might they be for chance? Who would you know? I don't know. Can you just tell me, you know, as a service to the community you provide? Not so fast. Here at the Syracuse standard, you must pay for the Googling that we do. Oh, there's only one muddy trail out of town. It's out of service.

How long would it be out of service? We never know. You'll never know. Many of your local maids are witches. But you'll never know who. Why? Because that's a subscriber exclusive. Oh, so I don't know who the witches are?

Uh-uh. If you give me a... If thou's... If thou wish to know who thine witches are, present me with one. couple pennies to find out oh may a plague come on your family

spoiler the restaurants all have rats they all have rats and they all have plague sorry anyways back to you back to you back to someone in the studio who's back in the studio oh man this is the this is the Card of Giant

oh yeah sorry we got distracted sorry Your Honest Brahms performed his classics Last weekend at the local park Jeff Herbert covers exclusively in this article Give me two pence Your local jesters performed this weekend We did not care for it

No, we were not a fan We did not like all the night at your jesterathon. I'm sorry, I'm getting distracted, just crapping on Syracuse.com. All right, back to the Card of Giant. Free. And the words spread like wildfire.

As the crowds continue to pour onto Newell's farm, he erected a pristine white tent and enshroud the supposed relic. They can't stop. And began charging a modest admission fee of 50 cents. Eager visitors flocked in droves, with around 2,500 people descending upon the site during the very first week.

There's six in that, With each passing day, the number of experts among the visitors grew, each eager to offer their perspective on this mysterious find. James Hall, a professor of geology at New York State, and Henry Ward, a professor at Rochester University, publicly endorsed the theory that the giant was indeed a statue. So the pros are saying, guys, this is a statue, and we're all like, yeah, let me go look at it. You think, yes, they are very smart back then. You know, a lot of, they all came up with the things we know today, blah, blah, blah, blah. think about how much old-timey

scientists and like the smartest people didn't know. Like yeah that statue's made of or that's a statue it's made of stone. But there's ghosts in your blood. Yeah. You also need to do cocaine to take care of the tuberculosis you have. But it also goes to show

that people never trusted experts. Nope. Like literal professors are like, guys, this is a statue. The smartest of the, you get, The $5,000 dopes are outside the tent going, Yeah, but I'm going to look at it too. Here's most of the money I have for the week. Let me look. Yeah, but here's my eating money, because I want to look at it.

I'll do my own research. We just shot the president in the head. But let me take a peek at what you got. The most remarkable single object ever discovered in the United States. Why? However, skepticism began to creep in, and doubts about the object's authenticity multiplied. Locals recalled the enigmatic presence of George Hull and his massive crate in the region the previous year.

Investigative journalists on earth financial transactions between Newell and Hull. Oh, oh. How? ... substantial sum of money changing hands after the sale of most of the rights to the giant. The questions and suspicions surrounding the Cardiff Giant followed its journey through the month of November, as it made its way to Albany and Syracuse, where thousands more spectators marching. So that's how much it caught. So it says right here.

If you're not watching, I'm going to read the sign they would hang up. It was from the Farmers Museum down in Cooperstown. Cardiff Giant, taller than Goliath, whom David Slain. 10 feet, 4.5 inches tall, 2,900 pounds. P.T. Barnum offered $150,000 for the giant. The most valuable single exhibit in the world today. Wait, wait. Go ahead.

Just real quick. Yeah. Biblical stuff. Yeah. David versus Goliath. Goliath was like, just like a seven foot tall guy. This is very unimpressive now that I'm thinking about it. So it was like me beating up a seven foot tall person.

Is that supposed to be the sciencey fun of that? Cody, you just brought up something that I'd never thought of. I thought he was like a 200-foot monster. Yeah, you could have potentially just shattered all of Christianity with that question. So we're going to keep my rolling. Okay. I don't want the world to collapse in on itself because you are right. Mevers, shat.

If this guy's 10. And I took down Shaq because I whipped a rock in his head really hard. You're telling me Mnup Bowl was bigger than Goliath? Yeah. Or maybe not. Like, so all I did was just. All right. All right.

I apologize. Sorry. All right. If Cody just shattered every religious belief you had. But we're back to the Cardiff Giant. So it says P.T. Barnum offers $150,000. Is that for reals? So listen, now we get into the PT Barnum part of us.

This is a big deal. Yeah. If you're a circus nerd like I am. P.T. Barnum was like, hey, I want to buy that card of giant. P.T. Barnum knows it's a work. Oh. But he's in the business of it. Okay.

I like that, then. There is. So, P.T. Barnum wants to buy this thing. They won't sell it to him. So he's just going to make his own. Oh. P.T. Barnum eventually. You can pretend.

Yeah. Dude. And then there's like 10 new giants. So we have our Cardiff Giant that's going around. And then there's others? PT Barnum's like, I want to buy your giant because, you know, whatever. He's making money. The other cool local little trivia thing, news reporters,

this is a guy, David Hunnam, in reference to seeing the Cardiff Giant, said the phrase that is misappropriated to PT Barnum. He wrote, there's a sucker born every minute. Oh. And everybody says P.T. Barnum says that. He doesn't.

That's that guy? It was a writer in reference to the Cardiff Giant. That's kind of cool. ...arveled at the object. Despite its growing popularity and profitability, a mining engineer... Like it's a shadow of doubt. Asserting that Newell's farm,

with its soggy soil, was an unsuitable environment for gypsum to petrify and endure the test of time. Skepticism reached its zenith when Othneill Charles Marl Marsh, a renowned paleontologist from Yale, set his eyes on the enigmatic figure. With little more than a cursory glance, Marsh delivered a verdict that sent shockwaves through the crowd. He deemed the giant's origins recent and unworthy of the acclaim and fascination it had garnered.

So he just said the same thing everybody else is saying. Oh, and then they listen to him. Guys are the statute. No, of course they didn't. This is America, Cody. Yeah. We don't listen to experts here. We know about her.

We will accept that you are an expert. But we will take none of your advice. As interests swelled and offers to purchase the giant poured in, Newell initially resisted until the return of George Hull to the region changed the course of their fortunes. Uh-oh. Hull and Newell, now fully aware of the potential windfall, entered negotiations with a syndicate of entrepreneurs, ultimately accepting a lucrative offer of $30,000 for 75% ownership. of their astounding creation.

The Cardiff Giant, shrouded in intrigue and controversy, was about to embark on a new chapter in its remarkable journey. So that's our Cardiff Giant. Then it starts going on tour. Like I said, P.T. Barnum creates his own Cardiff Giant. There ends up being, like, I think, four or five different giants. What happened to that one in his glorious penis? Ooh, how dare they are other penises look?

That's what I'm saying. I want to know. Did they shape the dong to look? as it should. What's amazing about our Cardiff Giant? This all happened in like two months. This wasn't years and years. No, that was them planning it, and then it happened.

They looked like it started in the summer. They started in the summer. And then it went into them. They dig it up in October. Yeah. And by December 10th, Hall confesses to the press. He says, yeah, they're all fake. I'm sorry, guys.

Well, then there goes your 30,000, right? I would say you just keep her mouth shut. And then it'd be like, I don't know. I don't have it anymore. Good point. You're not of, you doesn't have to tell anybody anything. The Cardiff Giant was, in 1909, it was displayed in Buffalo at the World's Fair in the Pan American exhibit. Then it moved to Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum in Michigan.

A copy of the Card of Giant is now on display. You can see it, I think at the Cooperstown, New York, the Farmers Museum. Isn't that what someone said there? The duper. And then you can see the, uh, there's one in Iowa, too. But there's a whole bunch of these things. Wow. And I bring that up because we are seeing a big foot at our great New York State Fair.

It gives me a lot of card of giant vibes. Let me know when it's 50 cents and I'll go see the world's largest snake and the one-foot woman. Thank you so much. I saw that and I don't remember it. The tiniest woman? Yeah. I don't remember how they did it. I don't remember how they did it, but it was weird.

I think she's actually a small woman. Like there are. women that are very small in men. Yeah. And I think that she just is. Yeah. But it was awkward because I paid to go see her and then it was just me looking at her and her looking at me and she was like reading a magazine. Yeah.

It's weird. It's not what you should do with humans. No, it doesn't feel like it. But it also feels like for that this is going to sound really stupid. But like, that's okay. People listen to us. Do something. Yeah.

Like, I'm here. Yeah. Let's do something. Right? Wave at me or I don't know. There was that also that whole exhibit. Do they still have that? Remember that there was a whole exhibit of weird,

uh, that you could go in and see. It was the big snake, which I think is mirrors. Yeah. But I mean, you could go in and see like they had the, like jars of stuff as well. It was a whole thing where you could see like the two, two headed little pig things that someone definitely just sewed a pig head

onto another little pig body. And that's all comes from people. PT Barnum, because when he started touring as the circus, yeah, it was just weird. They had to fill the whole day. Yeah. Like, the circus was at night, but they're like, yo, come early and we'll show you a freaking two-headed cow.

They would have anything they could find and be like, check it. You want to see this? Look at this big fat guy we got. It's just a big fat guy. It's not even fat guys. He's like 205. That's a fat guy. Look at the world's largest man, 210 pounds.

He's obese. We're talking nuts in chat right now. I have to limit myself. self. Like, I'm a nutaholic. If I get a thing of cashews in the house, yeah. My BMs are looking like payday bars for the next couple days. I've been going hard for a while. I only have one more of my select peanuts laugh. Oh, your fancy ones, dude. Those, um, I go, the, that's the other issue is that the ones I just put in the chat,

those toasted coconut cashews at Walmart, they don't taste anything like coconut. Mm-hmm. Um, they're five bucks a pop. And I can- For what? The whole container? Yeah. And it's, dude, it's, it's, Cheap for nuts, dude. No, it's like, it's just a smaller one. It ain't, it ain't big. I could, if I wanted to, and I have on accident once you get a little toasted yourself, I've gone through a whole one.

They're so good. It's a problem. I'm pushing out 100 grand bars after I eat those cashews. And what I've started, what I've started to do, because after I got the nuts at Old Forge, the heat, the ones you can heat up from the candy cottage, I forgot. So I was like, I wonder if I could

just heat them back up and you can. So I started doing that to my nuts. Oh, he's heating up his nuts. Where I've been taking my nuts and putting them in a bowl, a little bowl,

and then I heat them up and then I have warm nuts to put in my mouth. Oh, that's the best. I didn't think it was going to work. I just realized you get to get something this week. You've never had like New York City's

sidewalk nuts. Is that what they are? Those? You can just, you can just, get different kinds of nuts right there on the sidewalk as we walk around Manhattan, bud. Some nuts in my hand. They're great carts.

I want these. Right there. Get some hot nuts, dude. You're going to love those. I want some hot nuts. Well, Zong, we're talking about food. I don't remember the butter candle, do you? I remember the butter, Cody.

Butter candle? It's a woman who made a candle out of butter, and then, like, you can just dip your bread in it, I guess. I mean, you freeze butter in a mold. You use a wick, a fift. food grade wick, you light the candle, and then I guess what's the ending there? Am I just supposed to smell butter? Is there going to be melted butter everywhere?

Well, the melted butter, yes, is not great, but I would get those because there's a comedian that makes a joke about a mashed potato candle and a butter candle. And I'm sorry, but I would absolutely burn a mashed potato butter candle. So that you're eating it or just smells like it? No, just so the apartment smells like mashed potatoes and butter. Yeah, that's probably various because you love food candles. I do not. I like the food ones.

I stop myself from buying a lot of different scents for in here. I know. No, well, I think about it too because I'm like, even I, after a little while, I'd be like, okay, we're all said with the blueberry glazed sweet sugar. Bears smell now, please, thank you. I'm embarrassed to admit how much time I spent shopping for candles online two days ago. Because we're entering fall. I do need my fall sense.

Yeah, you got to get the good whatever one that fireside won. I want the fires. I want some. There's one called Amber Rain. Nice. I do like a little ball, like a little furs. Like a little balsam furs out of it is. I am seasonal with all of my candles and stuff.

So it's about time I have to put away my, my summertime. me ones in my summertime sense. Same. And move into my fall time waxes and fall time candles because I have one of those fire side candles. Right now. You can't burn that in the summer. No, living room right now is fresh linen, which is a summer scent for me.

Fresh linen is like laundry on the line kind of smell. But that will now transition to either like an apple. Okay. Or some kind of like pumpkin spice. Same. Office candle was black bamboo, which is a summer scent for me, the one we got over there. that'll probably get into, I want like an autumn rain or something back there. Yep, you got to get those.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm trying to think my summer ones, at least this year, were more like I have a watermelon lemonade one. Okay. That ones, it's strong, but it's a nice summertime, like when you smell it, whatever, it's good. I've got a couple berry ones. Do you have any cinnamon bun ones?

I have a cinnamon one. Mm-hmm. Chocolate chip cookie, hazelnut, that type stuff. The fall ones, like you said, though. So I haven't gotten yet because I'm like, no, I still got some time. Yeah. And what I also do is a lot of those waxes are in my decorations for Halloween. Of course they are, dude.

And Christmas time. So, because it's like, well, these ones are all time. They go in my falltime stuff. So I'll have other ones. But man, those are really good. Text line, I love my candle so much. I have shelving units for all of them. I'm burning balsam right now.

So good. Hell yeah. What's your falltime scent? What's your, That's a rock radio morning show topic. Yeah, right. What's your favorite fall time set? What do you like to just...

What do you sniff at? 100.91065K rock. I do need to use the hive mind of the show fam listening right now. I. Because we don't know how to Google this, but we both vaguely remember it. We were talking Cardiff Giant for your high strangers. Oh, yes. This is the speller. Side shows the things we could go see at the fair.

Yep. Textline reminded Cody, you have a better memory than I do of it. I just remember this, yeah. There was a side show with, and I don't know any other way to say this, but a crazy guy. Right? Yeah, it was just like a mentally unstable person. I forgot what they labeled a man. Was it a work or was he really mentally unstable?

I don't know. But it was like, it was like, werewolf man or something. And he'd always want cigarettes, right? He'd be like, give me a cigarette or something. And like the taxes I was saying, you brought food in? Not good? Lost it. You would lose it.

Bad or good? Bad or good? Bad. Bad. He doesn't want food in there. I remember those little things. And I remember, I just feel like remember it, but not. I can't remember the name.

The cigarette thing reminded me of it, but I don't remember anything else. If you brought him any type of cigarette, he would just smoke it. Oh, right. Let me see what Jojo does. The New York State Fair has a rich history of showcasing side showcasing side show acts with documented examples. I was half lady, half baby. The Sutton Side Show in the 1980s, which featured performance like human blockhead, half lady, half baby.

They were common in carnivals. Yeah, wasn't it, though. Was he in a dunk tank? No. No, it wasn't that guy because that guy, I actually saw that guy and I was like, but I could do that for a living. Was it human blockhead?

No. I don't remember. Honestly, if you said this was it and you were positive enough, I would agree with you because I don't remember. I kind of feel like it was Werewolf Man. Vintage Photo of the day. I feel like him being kind of hairy and mean.

So, but either way. I found an article, but I can't see the photo of it. Either way, it was weird to have that be, like here's a dollar, come look at a guy that probably should be getting some special help right now. It was before, you know, it was before the times of. Like, that's the bummer about circuses is that the sideshows were not, like, they weren't treated well. These people were. No, if you just had a deformity, you're a freak.

or somebody had, you know, that terrible disease where you grow hair all over your body. Like, they had medical issues. That's what I think this guy was, was the werewolf man with the hair over and it made him angry. I don't remember, but I... Now you just said that that triggered something, too. Yeah, he was very... He was angry. Yes, he was very hairy, and he was, like, disheveled, and they probably made him do that.

We're getting there. And he, like, I don't know why, but I just remember, like, plain, gross white t-shirt. I don't remember. I don't think I ever saw them. I only heard the rumors of them. No, we would pay for all that stuff as kids because you could get away with, like, back in the day at the fair, the guy with $3, be like, I will give you $0.00 and all three of us are going to go. And you're like, uh-uh, and you're like, okay, well, then nothing. Then nothing, bye.

And they'd be like, okay, fine, give me a dollar. Yeah, you can haggle. Yeah. So show fam, everybody listening. If anybody else. Could anybody help put this memory together for us? I do not. Who was he?

Why was he mad? Who was he? Why was he? When was he? Where was he? How was he? Subscriber exclusive. Sorry.

Dude, I would sing this to so many chicks who would then never do anything with me. I did not like these guys if this is what I think it is. Love Sister Hazel. Oh, no, it's not. Who did you think it was? I thought it was because it was an O-A-R at the fair. Oh, yeah, no, they're glad. I didn't like O-A-R.

I hate that. No, they're at the fair today. Let me give you the rundown. Tuesday. No, no, no, hold on. You would sing. Sister Hazel. Dude, I love singing Sister Hazel.

It might have worked with my wife. I don't know if I ever, I mean, I did used to sing to her a lot, and she married me, so. What else can I do? Six o'clock in Sheffey Court. I'm a song and dance man. He's a song and dance man. What's the rundown? Sister Hazel 6 o'clock, little John 8 o'clock over at the suburban, the big one.

Suburban Park concert. Is Sister Hazel's at Chevy? Sheffey Court, yeah. Lil Johns at the suburban park? Mm-hmm. Wow. Early Herman's Hermit's Starry. Yeah.

Yeah. You're noon there at one. I love singing songs about winter. Long December was a good one. Your winter. That's where the list ends. It used to be very funny. Stuart Scott,

former ESPN guy, the one that passed away from cancer there. Rest in peace. It used to be hilarious. They did a nice tribute to him on that. Oh, that's true. They do the best tributes when it comes to that stuff. What's his name? Came back for that one?

Oh, damn it. Rich. Rich, because they would do it. They would do it. They were awesome. But what was funny is that he used to do it as being dead serious trying to name drop. And everybody else would laugh their asses off when he would be dead serious and be like,

no big deal. Just my boys and sister Hazel. He's like, I just have my boys and sister Hazel. And people would be like, What? Yeah. And especially for him, because that's a Caucasian band, if ever there was. That's what used to be kind of funny that he would try to be like,

that they were like best friends, but, you know, that's still good. Speaking to the New York State Fair, the one of the nice crowd. Nobody has any reference to who we were trying to remember. No, it's there and I just can't remember. It'll show up at some point. It had, maybe it was the werewolf man. That's what I'm leaning towards. And I don't think that they would just put a mentally, they come to the mentally,

challenged man and laugh at him and make him angry. Don't give him food, but you can give him cigarettes. I think we were mis-desc- We were describing it wrong. I think it was the werewolf hairy guy, and he just happened to be angry. And he was just a grumpy. The gimmick wasn't that he was angry, it was because he was a werewolf guy.

Or he's probably hammered because your job is that people are going to gawk at you because you're weird-looking. That's got to suck. That ain't a great way to make a living. No. Although we do every day here, people just peer in on us. How, how long? Hello?

Hello? As you know, China intelligently went and they sort of took a monopoly of the world's magnets. And nobody needed magnets until they convinced everybody 20 years ago. Let's all do magnets. There were many other ways that the world could have gone. So it'll take us probably a year. 20 years ago when China convinced us all that we should all do magnets. Remember that?

Yeah. What? 20 years ago. Yeah. Trying to convince everybody we all to all do magnets. Magnets what? Yeah. Oh, boy.

Good morning, everybody. Happy Tuesday. Nobody thought about magnets until 20 years ago. And then China told everybody, let's do magnets. I think somebody is about time they come out with me. Did Joe Bison out there? I'll spend a good year. Everything because of lack of hoarder's been.

real dry, a lot of good hay for me to eat. Magnets. How do they work? Nobody knows. Oh, Jesus, if I know. A voicemail. I got hooves for, son of a bitch. I ain't old. I think Jojo found it. Jojo is the best researcher ever. Billy the drug-damaged boy. We're going to hell!

This is no... Did we really do this in the 90s? Oh, F. Billy the drug-damaged boy... This was the top attraction. Yeah, that sounds about right. That's why he wants cigarettes. Speaking of drug damage. They sort of took a monopoly of the world's magnets.

They did. And nobody needed magnets until they convinced everybody 20 years ago. Let's all do magnets. Let's all do magnets. I love magnets. So it'll take us probably a year to have them. We're heavy into the world of magnets. All right, go.

We're having into the world of magnets. Sparler. I've got several on my fridge now. One is a flamingo. ICE is here to pick you up. Billy, the drug-damaged boy. Yep. Was a top attraction on the 1990 Midway, presented as a person showing the effects of crack and cocaine abuse. That's a nice sentence.

The exhibit was met with skepticism by many fairgoers, and some complained it trivialized serious drug abuse. What? What were we doing? you know what's the worst though I thought it would be like is if they were just growing up if all of these damn people were just freaking serious

and leveled with us and we're like listen weed it's not bad yeah you know just be careful wait until you're ready to use it right at the appropriate times all the other stuff is

is not good for you and we're going to be we're going to level with you and tell you about it instead they try these crazy tactics of no what we're going to do Well, we're going to have a guy. Billy.

He's going to be all cracked out. Yeah, but you're almost on to it there. Instead of the dare program, bring Billy into us. That's what I mean. But we all went and looked at it and we're like, ha, ha, ha, look at this crazy bastard. Exactly. You want a cigarette. And then we grew up and were like, yo, straight bumps, bro.

Yeah, dude. Like, none of this stuff worked. Oh, I just started way too hard. Jojo, I think that this is right, the thing you found. We're talking, we're trying to find this, this, like, mysterious side show. I feel like while you ask Billy the drug damage boy is horrific I do feel like the one we're thinking of was more recent than 1990 No it was not it was the 90s it was definitely in the 90s

I don't think it was when I was like You know it going to the fair as like a 17 18 19 year old It wasn't when I was like a an older kid or an adult It was definite like Tax Line 6 11 12 13 It was Billy I had to be 10. I went to the fair with the rents.

Dude was scary. So 1990 would have made sense. Yeah, so it definitely was like that 90, mid-90s region. But again, what were we doing? You didn't have to go so hard with like, this is what happens if you do drug and cocaine. Or you just be like, hey, are you a sweaty person?

Don't do coke. You're going to be even way more sweaty. Oh, all right, cool, cool. Thanks. Appreciate that. Okay, Billy the drug damaged boy. We speak your name. Whatever happened to Billy?

Where'd he go? What happened to him? Hold on. Are you laughing at Mel's thing? Want me to read it? Can I read it? I don't know if you can. In eighth grade, this is Mel in our chat.

The things they did! Twitch.tv.tv slash K-Rock C-N-Y. If you ever want to get in our chat, of course you can text us, K-rock text line. 315-364-109. In eighth-grade health class, a program brought us a man who was damaged by drugs and had his butt hole blown out because he traded sex. for drugs. Wait, you can do that?

What? Like those? I mean, I have no leg to stand on because Dare worked on me. It didn't work on most of you. It worked on me. And I didn't touch anything until I was 40. It didn't work on me. And I didn't touch anything until I got into college.

Right. And it didn't work on me. I remember being, I can, some reason I can remember sitting in second grade. I remember the classroom. I remember the Dare officer. I remember the funny little jokes. And I remember being like, there's no way

that marijuana does this. And there's no way that you're just walking around and the whole, you're going to get offered drugs. My favorite part. Where are these people? Yeah, no one's ever offered me drugs, even in college. Well, I mean, my favorite part, and this will only, I think you'll be able to relate to this.

Well, I'm just speaking of. My favorite part of dare, they would bring in this big frame and in the frame all of the pills were lined up in like rows and lines and that satisfied me so much

to see all these pills exactly organized like sizes and colors oh like my brain was so warm yep nope yeah good question out the text line from Mel did they make a point to tell you his butthole was blown out

like they couldn't just be like he's ruined his life with drugs. No, and guess what? His anus? God. Have you ever seen in the cartoon when a cigar blows up?

Hmm? That's a good question off the text line. I do good... Hey, guys, we could have just stopped by telling you that he lost his family and he lost his home and he lost all his money.

But if that's not resonating with you, yes, he made a point to tell us money. That's not resonating with you. Yeah, no, it's just... Buttholes inside out like a count. Alamari. Have you seen it? You want to see it. Dave, why don't you take your pants down? Show the kids. Bring in that guy, that Mr. Wonder guy that with the outside, inside outside outfit, they would come in and freak the crap out of kids in the cafeteria. Where is he? Mr. Goodbody? You want to get Mr. Goodbody? Man, that used to freak me out.

Well, Mr. Goodbody, you don't like him? Why? Nope. He came to your school? Yeah. We had Mr. Goodbody. Yeah. No, Mr. Goodbody came to Heem Street, man. Oh, yeah. And what did he do? Gave me nightmares about your inside out body? Yeah. Here's your weird inside-out body. And he was wearing a full-size leotard too. Yeah, that's a bulge. What I mean? It was a... All the Milfeyer said he had to mention a special bug plug he has to wear.

Folks, that's enough, I think, for today. What's this special? They make special ones? Is it the screw-in one they use on dead bodies? What? Did I just teach you something? When did they put that in there? Right after you, like, I think maybe I...

You have to ask somebody who's a mortician. look up. I don't even know how you would Google this. But it's a butt plug, but it's threaded because they screw it up. It ain't coming out. So after they, sorry, sorry. Yeah. After they cremated my dad, they had to.

No, because he got cremated. It's right here. I'll show you a photo. Oh, I thought that like they put it in there when they died. They're like, keep whatever we can't keep in there, in there. And then they line them on fire. And then when they get rid of the metal, they go, and we'll throw that butt plug. Oh my God, I just ruined so many of your lives.

I'm sorry. Wait, you're telling me my papa has a butt plug in? I am. I know as many people think that stuff is as funny as I do. You want to see it? This is what they put in. This is what they put in dead bodies. I have a bowl piece for my weed.

I just spit everywhere. That it looks just like that. Sorry to ruin that. No, I didn't. I was just curious. I'm laughing. My nanny was cremated, so I don't believe there's a butt plug involved. Well, maybe not.

Then. Oh, okay. Okay, sure. I mean, you don't know what we were into. That's disturbing. The AV closure is what it's called. It is a seal. I'm sorry.

Oh, they put it in the, I got to stop saying words. All right, I can't. Head out to Ashley Lynn Winery at the Great New York State Fair. Not only the best wine slushies at the Great New York State Fair, they got those wine, those boozy milkshakes, by the way. Lindsay, let me know that they're also available at their spot next to pickle barrel across the Leon's. leather. Gotcha. Two of the three locations, they get those boosy shakes.

What? I've heard less than good things about all sorts of the Sterling tips this year. People are saying they're not good. Everywhere, yeah. Everyone's saying they're different now, and I haven't even got them to tell you. Made me very nervous to see that because I know that, yeah, like, you like to get that. And that's, they're pricey to, I mean, if it's something I've ever had, like that ostrich

burger, I didn't even look at the price. Don't care. You want to pay it to whatever. Yeah. but that, you know, for a tried and true thing for, you know, you don't want them to... Thank you to boss lady. Boss lady gave us some go have fun money for the New York State Fair. They got an ostrich burger. He got an ostrich burger.

And I'm not done yet. I got a walking taco that we're giving recommendations. That's how we're spending your money, boss ladies. We're giving our recommendations. I think I want to try those ribs. Those deep-red ribs. That's what I'm trying next. I think that might be good.

I need to be near sink so I can clean up after. That's true, yeah. And then I got to get into the eatery. That's, that might be the best. spot in the entire fair is the eater is really dull. The International Food Pavilion, which might keep that name I like to call it the international food pavilion. You can call whatever you want.

But the eatery, yes. They're just stuff in there, man. They got two Mexican spots I've hit. Okay. And I don't remember their name, so I apologize. I'm just going to tell you their location. There's one right next to the chocolate taps. You know chocolate taps are at all our events.

Yes. And names me, same. If anybody knows their names, give them a plug. But I'm recommending that for the walking type. That was incredible. Their meat flavor was really good. And the walking taco was great. At the very end, like if you walk all the way down and you're like both sides have food.

In the eatery? In the eatery. Okay. At the very end, there's like a Mexican place that does it like Chapulte style. Yes. Or they just do the ingredients, do the ingredients. You get a good burrito out of there. Yep.

They've got in there. The eatery is the place right on the corner is my piggy parfe. That's yep. Yep. It's my favorite thing there, man. Those are my two recommendations. There's just so many good things all up in there. There's also a place, and I remembered it off the top of my head,

and now I can't remember that cheese curd place sounded really good, too. I like when there's a variety of curds to behold. It's not like a deep fried curd? It's just a... No, no, it is. It's the deep fried cheese curd, but it's a whole truck or whatever. So I would like to see... I would like to know where that is.

Because I don't want to, like, a regular... No, no, no. I want like a Wisconsin-orange... You like to dabble. Like I want to try. For a guy that doesn't like cheese on things, you do like a curd. Yeah, I do like a curd or a deep fried cheese curd. Katie, that's it.

Las Delicius. La Delicios. Right next to chocolate taps. They got a good walking taco. Let me see if I can remember. Showgirl Tammy's asking me a couple questions about where to find those ribs. So the ribs, if you're at, like, I think it's still called military row. Lock one is there.

Ashley Lynn is there. You're kind of walking toward the beacon skiff. Peachies donut end? Where beak, yep. Right there. Right there. It's up against the fence. Can't miss it. They got a bunch of different ribs, but I just want to try the straight up deep fried ribs. Let me see. About if I just type in curds.

Yeah, the ribs are next to Peaches Donuts. So get over there and try that. And I need anybody who can track down, is it called Eggroll Love? It's like the whole booth of egg rolls. I know that G. Wu is there with egg rolls. They're great as well. But I want egg roll love because I saw them on the news briefly and they don't want her to try their egg rolls. Look. Do you find it? See, that's the Expo Center?

Uh-huh. That's the ad treads to it? Uh-huh. Right there. Awesome. I'm going there then. Right there. I'm going there then.

Because you know what I love about that booth? And I want to be friends with this couple. On the news, they're talking to egg roll love. And her and her husband just record parody songs about egg rolls and then play them over their speakers there at their booth. Okay. I want to hear the parody songs. songs almost more than I want to eat the egg rolls. I like that. That's like

that lady that makes those funny videos of Judy and she makes the best pancakes. Have you ever seen those funny videos of her breakfast spot? I don't know who she is or where she is, but I want her pancakes. Lawrence and Perry Barbecues. There's a fried ribs. So there you go. Yeah, that... A couple recommendations. I think

they updated the Fair app, to be honest with you. Because it's a lot easier in the search bar. To just type things in? In the interactive map. We were We're just looking for the egg roll place. We found it. And I couldn't find it at all days ago.

Now I typed in egg roll and that popped up immediately. No, I did. Ben said, Christy Cassiano got the milkshakes spilled on her legs. That's a fetish. Some spots. Some people are into that. I've seen that.

You can go see. So what's our schedule this week? Well, as follows, I will be there on Thursday right after the show. So nice and early in the morning like, whatever now? I'm going to go, I got to get out of here. Sorry, bye. No, I'll be there at Lock One Thursday.

That's cool. Probably like 10.30, 11 o'clock. I'll get over there, depending on we wrap up stuff here. Happy National Dog Day. Ain't nothing but the dog in me. Nothing but that dog in me, baby. 315-364-101 K-K-Rot text line. 45% of Americans have a dog.

In a new poll. from the pet food brand Hill. Hills food? Do I like that? I know Hills is where the toys are. They are where the toys. We're most likely to get dog food. If you got a dog from a friend or family member, you're not alone. 33% of owners got their dog that way.

Okay. From a friend or family member. Shelters and breeders, 24%. Come on now. No breeding. Let's get our dogs adopted. And the pet stores. No pet stores either, guys.

Come on. Let's rescue some dogs. I think slowly. pet stores are becoming okay because I think because they banned all that other crap they get dogs from shelters right? Oh good. That'd be good then. I thought so. I thought anyway.

I don't like puppy mills and something like that. I'm pretty sure. No, they shut that down but that's where we got a lot of ours from. But they asked. Puppie mill what are the most popular dogs in the country? By size.

Small, medium, or large? What do you think? I bet people like a larger dog. It's going to be the golden, either the lab or the retriever or the other way around, like the colored ones. I think that if we ever lose Freddie, Freddie will never die. I think our next dog would be a golden retriever because we're really into them lately. They're just so cute. They're just the cutest things.

But Freddie is the most cute. Medium dogs are most popular. 26 to 54-pound dogs are the most popular. Top reasons. people not wanting bigger dogs and not having enough room and they're harder to travel with. Yeah, I get it. I mean, that's, else's that medium dog. I would, I would get a bigger dog.

You would? Well, because I always had little dogs my entire life and then I got Jughead who ended up being, you know, 70 pounds towards the end there. And it was like, oh, this is fun. You like having a big one? I liked it. It was enjoyable. So, I mean, as long as you train them and everything, you know, they're good to go.

Freddie is kind of my perfect size dog. Yeah, great. Because he can lay at your feet like a cat Yep, plenty of room But he can also do dog stuff and run around Yep Kelly says I recommend a lab We have a yellow lab and he's great

I like all that Golden Retrievers are cute We just love dogs So happy national dog day Get your dog Get your dog in them Is this porn music? You should be able to watch a little

Pornoward A little bit of porn work No I'm bucking back with the Sopranos Because we're going down to New Jersey Oh oh oh oh oh oh Duh. Where the New York Giants have reportedly released Tommy Cuddlet. Hey, whoa, whoa, hey, oh, whoa, hey, oh, oh,

Tommy DeVito has been released. Jordan Schultz is reporting the fan favorite former UDFA quarterback is among the moves made by the Giants as they widow down their roster. Yeah, they got James Winston, they got Jackson Dart and Russell Wilson. There's no need for a Tommy. Do you think he finds another team? No. No.

I think he sucks. I never really paid attention to Tommy DeVito But his arm strength is not any good It's Syracuse fans Try to root for him But they always forget that he Looked at this area and went Bye

Yeah he was out So no I don't think He was the fourth quarterback The Giants were using a training camp They can get anybody else on the practice squad They'll be fine without him Unless that's what they're doing But I don't

He could still be signed to the practice squad But I don't see him He's not a good Usually those guys are Mimiker if you will. So you were able to mimic all the things that you're going to be seeing during the week.

Like, all right, you got a Paddram Holmes coming up. All right. Scramble around a little bit and make weird little plays. Yeah, I got you. That type stuff where he doesn't have any arm strength or anything. Because I've seen Bill's fans kind of be a little angry that if anybody watched that game that I forget his name, but his first name, that quarterback,

Shane B something. For the bills? Yeah, they cut him. He just went like 20 for. Yeah. U-E-C-H-E-H-E. Yeah, I don't know how to say that. He went like 20 for 25, and had a couple touchdowns,

and he did good in a preseason game, and then they cut him. And people were like, what the hell? A lot of these guys, what they do is if they realize they could get them on a better deal, usually for themselves, they'll cut these guys and sign them back to the practice squad. Dallas does it all the time where they've released Will Greer. The next day, Dallas Cowboys have signed Will Greer to the practice squad. And if they're on the practice, God forbid, God forbid, everything happens.

To Josh Allen, knocking on wood, knocking on wood. They can call them up. Yeah, stuff like that. But, yeah. Nothing's going to happen to Josh Allen. Although what's funny is that there's a guy that once was considered, I think he did commit to S.U. Lenora Sellers that's on the mock dress for this year coming up,

that they're saying they're giving comparisons to Josh Allen. And it's weird to see that now of, he's got Josh Allen like skills. Legendary. No, yeah. Interesting. What other live? Any other noteworthy moves that you've noticed? As all these teams start dumping people?

Bills cut veteran corner Dane Jackson about a half an hour ago. So they needed secondary help, so that doesn't help by cutting some. But other than that, I don't see anything that anybody around here would really care too much about. Is that what this week usually is? Like now we're getting our roster set? They have to. Today at four. Today by four.

So I bet you at 3 o'clock on ESPN, the TV. side. I bet there's like ESPN roster special where they'll sit there for an hour and I'll watch it where they'll be like, we'll monitor random guys that you don't care about being being fired and all that jazz. All right. Well, something to see. 315, 364, 1009. Come back after Chevelle, get ready to play some, what we're going to do, golf again? Chival. Ahoi, hoi. They're not at the fair this year. They were there the last few years. Nothing this year, though. I guess you do got to switch things up from time to time. I think they went out on tour because they did. Didn't they have a new album? I think so, yeah. I do love seeing them live.

There was a good time. They were great. Man, they were great. Last few times at the fair. Radio side, we will hand you off to the 90s at 9. Oh, my. Weird internet. Because 90s 9 is going to be foo fighters. It's that first foo fighter self-titled record, which no one knows why they changed. Foo Fighters are changing the artwork subtly on all of their albums and no one knows why.

Like this album is the one with the Raygun on it and it's like tan and brown. Now it's more green. The color and the shape they change the things around and everybody on the internet trying to figure out what the hell's FooFiters doing.

What would it do? What would that mean? I don't know it knows. It's like they're going to re-release them. I don't know. That's the extent of my info, but they changed the cover. cover of this album to a greener hue.

Foo Fighters nerds, if you want to dig into that for me. Bunch of nerds. We are going to play some golf. Let's go golf and it's just nice, casual, fun to do. I'll do some golf. Twitch.tv.tv slash K-Rock, C&Y. Gaming stream powered by Dazed dispensary. Open 8 a.m. every day till 2 a.m.
