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 somewhere constitutionally to do away with it, I would.
Christmas, go.
Happy birthday.
Go Christmas Copter.
Go, go Christmas legs.
Ahoy, hoi, ho.
Happy Tuesday.
Is it a week till Christmas Eve or is that tomorrow?
Tomorrow.
No, tomorrow's Christmas Eve.
You're right.
Yep.
Yep, tomorrow is.
Week in a day.
Week to Christmas Eve.
How's everybody doing?
Are we good?
Yes.
Still snowing up off the lake in the Tug Hill.
How are the rest of us doing?
Good.
Good.
Have you having a good time?
How was Monday Night Football last night?
Oh, fault.
Socked.
That was the game you needed something to happen on?
No, I needed nothing to happen on.
I needed to be super boring.
And basically the guy did, and then he randomly catches a stupid touchdown,
and that was the only other thing he did for the rest of the night.
Sorry, bud.
And there we go, 0.8.
So you're out of all your playoffs then?
No more fantasy.
Nope.
No more fantasy from my bud?
No more football.
Sorry, buddy.
I know, I know.
Doesn't matter.
It's basketball season.
Hockey season?
Doesn't matter, it's hockey season.
What other sports are happening right now?
Doesn't matter.
There's still Premier League.
A couple games left.
Indoor High Lie.
Oh, bro.
It's Indoor High Lie season, bro.
I don't want to hear about it.
Bro, you're talking indoor highlight?
Yeah, it's indoor rugby season, bro.
I don't care what you're watching.
Yo, you turn on K Rock.
We're finally talking indoor Highline.
Finally!
About God damn time.
Finally.
We got an actual station that talks about High Live.
I mean, I've been waiting for years.
Uh-huh.
I'm texting it and I've been calling.
I mean, I used to freaking call in Dexie's show.
You're like, hey, Dex!
Hey, Spud, hey!
Let me hear your thoughts on the indoor highlight.
Hey.
Nope, nothing.
All right, today is also the anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.
Hey, now.
First text, someone sends us on the text line from this number.
Today is the anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.
Well, there you go.
How do you like that?
Mm-hmm.
Well, you like that, but all the bulge.
That's when two guys just kind of just mushy.
Oh, is it?
Nice.
They don't even have their clothes off.
They're just, they stand like this,
and they just push each other, like against each other's bulges like this.
Yeah.
Whoever, you know, falls over first.
See, so you've been to my improv practices.
Don't act like you haven't.
You've been to my improv practices.
Don't act like you didn't go some Sean Cass practices.
315-364-1009.
K Rock Text Line. Thank you for loving me.
Today we'll get into, where is my damn Twitch? There it is. All right, thank you. I couldn't
find the, I'm clicking like every single thing. I can't find. I mean, I'm, Grandpa's mad.
It's okay. Not any angrier than. I don't know what he's on about next door.
Jeez. Ah. Oh, God. Say it's something Paulie did. I can arrest assure of that. Something
Paulie did not do. Hey, he was very easy. I got a lot going on.
Six or seven Dr. Dr. Trayshog.
There's a lot going on.
Have you seen our female numbers?
They're huge.
They're huge.
All right.
So we'll get into a high strangeness today.
Today's high strangeness leans a little bit more on the high.
On the strangeness, maybe.
Okay.
Can thank addibles for that.
Hey, it's the end of the year.
It's cremice time.
Because I prepped it and then I watched it back this morning to make sure everything is ready.
And I go, huh, this was a lot.
more crazy when you are watching it at home, but it's all right.
We're going to enjoy it.
Remind everybody, you know, give us like a 10, 15 minute head up.
Okay.
We'll all do the proper things and then we'll be here.
Textline says today is also of Verona Collective's 100th harvest.
That seems like a lot of harvest for Verona Collective, right?
That's pretty awesome.
Congratulations to our friends out of the Verona Collective.
This Friday, we will be live at Log 1 Distilling in Phoenix, New York.
I bought the items needed for another game.
The game I showed you yesterday.
I can't even.
I don't know.
I was going to translate to the radio, but oh, it's going to be fun to watch.
This one might just be for us.
This is going to be for us.
I don't know how it was going to work out.
I don't know.
That was just the funniest thing I had ever seen.
Twitch.tv slash K-Roc, C&Y.
Tune in Bright and Early at 6 a.m.
and you can watch all the action down there at Lock One to Stilling in Phoenix, New York.
Come on down to your TV if you won't.
Come on down, why don't you?
Well, Miriam Webster's word of the year is...
Six, seven.
You almost said it. Slop.
Oh, wait, what?
Digital content of low quality that is produced usually in quantity by means of artificial intelligence.
So this show, right?
Yes.
Except we have real intelligence.
Yeah, it's not artificial.
It's just lower.
We're like I-Heart radio and they're like no AI anywhere.
Don't worry, but also.
But also.
No people other than the one salesperson that goes around to fool the community
into thinking that we're still very local.
We have one salesperson and we have one guy that'll do mornings on another station
and pop out to events, but we are not AI.
Live in Cincinnati.
They define it like I said digital content.
of low quality that is produced usually in quantity,
but by means of artificial intelligence.
Have you seen like AI slop, is what they call it?
I don't think so.
I've never heard of this word.
I feel like I'm, uh,
I'm,
I'm super stupid.
Coca-Cola is getting a lot of AI slot backlash right now.
Because they did that commercial?
They did a,
oh, I like that commercial.
They've been using AI in commercials.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and then SNL used an AI image this weekend.
I don't know, like,
they're all tipping their toes in to see what they can get away with
that the people tolerate.
Yeah, but my question is like,
I'm so split on this.
Because I recognize you want to support artists,
you want to support graphic designers and all that stuff.
Yeah.
But also, like, new tools come along.
I was going to say, yeah, it's a,
I mean, I don't want it to be all be AI,
but it's the same like you were saying.
It's just, like, this is going to happen.
Yeah, it's an evolutionary.
of, like, they started...
Like when Photoshop was released,
where people mad that artists
were then using Photoshop?
Like, you can't use computers.
Probably.
Right?
So are we just doing that now?
I was thinking back even further
on like the Disney level.
All right, we're drawing all the cartoons with pencils.
All right, well, now we're using computer.
Like, wait, what?
You're taking away animators' jobs.
I mean, this is a little different,
but, because you, that's,
at least they were creating it.
Right.
This is AI just creating it.
AI doesn't create anything.
It just steals ideas.
Yeah, like they're not coming up with their own like sketches and stuff.
They're just going, all right.
Tiny, tiny bear cub with its mom in the snow, Coca-Cola bottles.
You know what I mean?
Like that.
And then it generates, you know, whatever the hell.
And I know they got a lot of kickback because they were bragging about how many, like,
how long it took to make that because of the prompts that are involved.
90,000 prompts.
I was going to say, I've seen you do that part a little, and that looks challenging.
So there is that aspect of having to learn that.
Yeah.
I don't see.
I like that commercial.
Right.
It's the one where they have all their elements in it.
It's the truck, the bear, the house, the dogs.
People are like, oh, this is AI slop.
And I go, it probably is, but that's like a tool.
I'm sorry that artists are, like, getting screwed over by it, but.
Yeah, just got adapt a little.
Like, I wanted to make a dancing Santa Claus to promote the house party last Friday.
So I just made it in meta.
I wasn't going to hire a graphic designer or an animator.
I was just making a dancing Santa Claus.
But I don't know what we're supposed to do about it.
AI content got so cheap and easy this year that it's unavoidable now.
So hence the rise in AI slop.
They say they picked it because it managed to sum up the problem in just four letters.
The word sends a little message to AI when it comes to replacing human connectivity,
sometimes you don't seem too super intelligent.
I don't think AI is never going to replace human connectivity.
There are people that date AI now.
Yeah, right.
It's going to push it.
It's going to get right up against the wall of, you know, as close as it can
before it starts to, you know, radically come back down, I would imagine.
Like I saw a famous photographer on TikTok the other day
yelling at a guy for taking digital photos
because he says real photographers don't shoot in digital.
So it's like in any world this battle happens.
Like, no, you're not a real artist because you use AI.
You're not a real photographer because you...
Capturing what you capture.
Use a digital camera.
It's just confusing.
Like, new tools come along.
Well, yeah, you can see that it's going to get a little pushy.
I saw that commercial with, what's his name?
Pete Davidson.
What's...
Where the Alexa is just basically a human.
No, but if I...
That's going to get bad.
If I got to see Pete Davidson, Melissa McCarthy, or Kevin Hart as little Elfs on the shelf, one more time, I'm going to blow my TV up.
Verizon is running the hell out of these little Kevin Hart, Melissa McCarthy laying on the tracks.
Pete Davidson.
Hey, but at least they're real people.
But are they?
Like they were put into that somehow.
I don't know.
It's close as you and get, I guess.
Well, go enjoy Wegman's lights on the lake.
tonight if you're looking for the holiday spirit.
That's stupid Verizon commercials making me angry.
Tonight and every night through the holiday season, your Wegman's lights on the lake.
I think Tuesdays are the best nights.
Do you?
I'm just saying.
Wife is dabbling with us going over there tonight.
I don't know if the teenagers want to come, but maybe her and I go.
It's the best night.
It's basically, it's free.
Yeah, it's not free, but you're going to go over there.
You're going to get $10 in splash cash, so you're making your money back.
now you've already, you broke even.
Then you're getting a Taco Bell,
just the coupon, boom, now you're making money.
It's profitable.
And if your wife wants to go, you have now,
uh,
I'll say it.
You now have made your wife happy.
I'll say if you're not pleased your wife.
No, I've never done that, but I'm saying tonight would be fun for you.
You know what I mean?
Not, now you're enjoying it.
Like, once you get going, you'd be like,
hey, want to get something to eat after this?
And then you're now grade A number one holiday husband,
bro.
We got to wait for basketball,
because we got a basketball practice tonight,
and then after that we could either do a dinner out and hit up lights on the lake,
do a dinner to home, and hit lights on the lake.
Or.
I don't know.
Or dinner to go at lights on the lake.
Well, that was the other pitch I was going to make to the teens.
I've done that.
Why don't they get some food in the back seat?
I've done that.
Enjoy little Mickey Dees through the lights on the lake or a little KFC.
That'd be awesome because I've made a, uh,
I made like a cheese and cracker plate once years ago.
That type stuff, a bunch of little snacks.
It's fun.
Because, again, just when we were, you, when we had our fellas date, you and Tom, it takes a minute.
Takes a minute.
It's like a 45-minute drive.
You can really enjoy it.
It's awesome.
I love it.
So that is tonight.
Check it out.
What's that place?
Tuxans?
Susan says take her to Tuxans.
What is that?
Tucson?
Tucson.
Arizona?
Arizona, Susan?
No, no.
It's here.
It's Liverpool.
Bops does get a bag of snack wraps and enjoy the lights.
Hell yeah.
Just a bag of double bergs?
Can I just get like 10 double cheeseburgs?
Thank you.
That new bird plays.
It is right over there.
So, you know, tonight's the night to go.
Of course, Taco Bell Tuesday, like I said.
Or I could just pregame with Taco Bell and get a follow-up on the way out.
Yes.
So the raccoon, they got hammered, and it was all over the news,
and everybody was laughing at the raccoon that passed out of the bathroom.
I'm glad he wasn't dead.
He's not that.
He's fine.
They're not going to relocate him because I guess if you relocate a raccoon,
like it's got the wrong smell on it or something, another raccoon.
I mean, this raccoon's going to smell like booze.
Yeah, right.
And you smell like a party.
So it was a couple of weeks ago, I think, at this point, that the raccoon was discovered,
intoxicated at the Ashland ABC store on November 29th.
He was hammered.
Turns out, this is like the third break-in.
This raccoon is done.
He likes a little beanie.
He broke into the DMV once and ate some of their snacks.
He broke into a karate studio, probably because he had a karate lesson.
I mean, he probably was seen if there's any ninjas to fight or anything.
And then he broke into Ashland ABC liquor store where he locked himself in the bathroom.
What?
Is this, is it like wall one plaza and it's like the oldest set of buildings ever?
So there's just like a little hatch and top of the roof?
Yeah, I would need to like look up Ashland ABC on Google Maps.
Or it's like every movie ever where the like the pipes up on top of the roof lead.
right directly into the business itself.
So he just, you know, looks down, drops in,
and all of a sudden he's in their ceiling.
I'm on their Google map.
Okay, yeah.
I think it's a strip mall.
I think it's a strip mall.
There's a pet co down there.
This might be his favorite strip mall then.
Yeah, it's got pet smells and food smel.
Bodies, heritage insurance partners.
This just might be a strip club.
I mean, that's strip mall.
Nice.
It's got a food lion right there.
Oh, hell, yeah.
Yeah, he wants the scraps.
He's on the run.
roof. He's in the back.
Yep. See, he's getting... Tanning salon
right there. See, so he does. He parties.
He gets to get some vapes. He gets up to liquor
store, gets a nice tan before the weekend.
These are the places he have caught him in.
You don't know where he's... Yeah, you don't know where he's been.
Where he spends his nights. Well, other
than good news,
the Hanover County Animal Protection
Shelter released
merch. Oh.
They're calling it trashed panda
merch. This is what it looks like.
like it's hoodies, it's t-shirts, it's a cartoon of the panda passed out with a bottle next to it,
and it says Trashed Panda.
That's funny.
I'm glad they got to it before, you know, just some random other...
Well, Randos will now make copies of it.
But in the meantime, it has raised over $250,000 for the Animal Protection Organization.
That's awesome.
So good for them.
You can buy them at bonfire.com slash trashed panda.
Oh, yeah.
It's...
Make sure we put it in our Discord and in our...
reason why and all that because that's that absolutely has to be on there that's making it to the
wheel for sure trashed panda coming up next year on the wheel yep uh god willing on the creek
don't rise when josh spins for his time it's time for a little high strangeness friends
and like i said earlier in the show i think the high might overpower the strangeness this week
good as uh i think the edible and the whiskey hit a little hard in this video
was like one of those, whoa, man.
But we'll get into it.
We'll discuss it because it's fascinating stuff.
Today we talk about Antarctica, Cody.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
You just said Antarctica last break.
I know.
But today we talk about Antarctica
because none of this is real
and it's all a simulation anyways.
I was just scrowling the coasts.
I know you were.
I was just on the coast of Antarctica yesterday.
You were just visiting Antarctica.
That is weird.
But there's a lot of confusion
mystery around Antarctica.
Yeah.
And this small creator on YouTube I was watching the other day
made a video about Antarctica and the strangeness of it.
So I figured we'll get into some high strangeness and explore Antarctica.
Oh, I love to think of that weird crap that's frozen in ice.
Yeah.
On either of the polls.
And all the military bases that are randomly there from every country.
And why are there no actual photos of all of Antarctica?
And why are things so hidden?
Yeah.
Maybe it's not.
I ain't trying to spin up conspiracies.
Maybe Antarctica's just too cold to visit.
You never know.
So nobody goes down there.
You know that we can't get past the ice wall and the North Pole
because after that, that's where Santa is.
That makes sense at least.
But they also address the Antarctica ice wall and the center and the tunnel of all that.
So let's get into this week's high strangeness.
It's simply Antarctica.
What the hell's going on down there?
This is Antarctica.
What's the whole million square miles of frozen?
wilderness. In recent years, many world leaders and high-ranking officials have visited this
remote land, and the question everyone keeps asking is, why? At the same time, strange and fantastic
theories have emerged about what really lies here. Unexplained aerial phenomena, traces of ancient
civilizations, stories of extraterrestrials, hollow earth theories, even whispers of hybrid humans
living beneath the ice. But one thing is certain, whatever lies on Antarctica is being carefully
kept out of the public eye. Will it stay that way forever no one knows? But for now, let's look at
some facts and discoveries that might change how you see this continent. Although Antarctica was
officially discovered in 1820 by a Russian expedition, some researchers claim that humans may have known about
it long before. They point to the Peir-e-Rais map from 1513, drawn by the Ottoman Admiral Peary
race. On this map appears an unknown landmass connected to South America, drawn without a
ice with coastlines and features that seem suitable for life.
Mainstream scholars dismiss the idea that this map could show Antarctica as it once looked.
So they're saying basically a map from the 1500s shows it with no ice,
and there's animals like drawn on it.
Like this is where the animals live.
They'll get into some of that.
When Antarctica was cool and it wasn't mainstream, it was like,
man.
No.
Cash grab.
No.
It's cash grab.
But few people realize something important.
We do not have a single complete satellite photo of Antarctica.
What you always see is a mosaic.
Thousands of stitched together images.
You're shaking your head.
What do you think about that?
I can.
Yeah, you're right.
You go, there's a lot of spots on Google Maps where it's like, well, I can't see this.
Why is there?
It's black.
Why is there's spots here, but not here?
Yeah, it is.
Interesting.
Now, when I'm watching this video, because this is the fifth time I've watched this video,
I have to wonder, is there like a reason we can't get satellites over?
Antarctica? Like, is there a weird
gravitational thing that I'm too dumb to understand?
I don't know.
I don't know. I assume the satellite can.
Or has slight gaps
in the public maps. And it is often
covered by a large, circular, black
void. Why?
What exactly is being hidden?
These are claimed to be authentic images taken
by NASA's Lansat satellite.
But again, the question remains.
Are we really being shown what's
actually there? What little
imagery exists is blurred,
censored or wiped out, especially near the areas where the world's most powerful nations keep their bases.
Now, I'm not again trying to ramp up conspiracies, but this is high strangeness.
Yeah, but why not?
That's fun.
Why is everything blurry?
Why can't we get a photo of it in 2025?
Like, really, there's so much secret stuff going on on top of those buildings that we can know they're there, but they've got to be blurred.
And he gets into that, too.
Like, we know they're a Russian military base, but you better blur it out.
Oh, okay, then never mind. It's not there. You blurred it.
And if you're just tuning in, I will post the entire video on our K-Rock Facebook page.
I love it.
The crazier it is, the better.
Where's my Antarctica?
Realm of Secrets is this channel that I just found.
Realm of secrets.
So it's a pretty small creator.
And if Google Earth lets you zoom in on Area 51, then why can't we see Antarctica clearly?
Even in the year 2025?
Scientific studies show Antarctica is composed of two massive landmasses,
East and West Antarctica.
And East Antarctica was once physically connected to South America and the 80s.
Mysteries began to appear during the earliest modern expeditions.
Although today, Antarctica is said to be a frozen wasteland.
With almost no life, the first explorers reported something very different.
So now he's going to get into the people who were first there
and started documenting what they were finding.
Again, it's not an easy spot to visit.
It's Antarctica.
No, when they said about the Russian explorers finding it on an adventure or whatever the hell,
that's got to be the worst voyage.
Like you're sailing from a cold, crappy Russia and then all of a sudden you're...
Oh, look, we discovered...
Oh, it's worse here.
Don't you think it be good if we explore Caribbean or we...
Maybe someone nice.
Maybe we go somewhere Hawaii, a somewhat hot.
Not good frostbite.
In 1893, Captain Carl Larson discovered fostering...
fossilized trees and various worms on Seymour Island.
But he also found strange clay spheres placed on tall pillars,
objects that looked man-made.
So he found balls, like clay balls placed on pillars that looked man-made.
Hmm.
Okay?
Doesn't make any sense.
Also fossilized trees that aren't there, but we're there at some point.
Later studies dismissed these as natural formations.
But not everyone agreed.
Between 1928 and 1930, Admiral Richard Byrd
led the first of five major expeditions.
Upon arrival, they were stunned by evidence
that Antarctica had once been full of life.
The expedition cost $400,000,
an enormous sum at the time,
funded by Edsel Ford and John D. Rockefeller Jr.
Oh, so two really wealthy guys,
wanted to go explore an uninhabited place.
Interesting.
Huh, Mars, like we're doing now?
All the rich people are going to space?
Why were the rich people back then going to Antarctica?
Let's see.
Let's find out.
A 1930 article described the mission.
They expected to find solid proof of past life on this continent.
And they did.
Vegetation, fossils, and traces of a warmer, once-habitable climate were uncovered.
But was there any life left today?
In 1947, the U.S. military reported discovering a location they named the Bunger Oasis, a region not covered in ice.
Oasis, Brahma!
Ro, raw, a little bit.
Arctic, bra.
Later in 1956, the Soviet Union built a base there.
Interestingly, Germany had found this same oasis back in 1939.
Brava!
Roy!
So, oasis.
Going down, I'm going to need your pocket, mate.
But kept it completely secret.
The Soviets soon began transporting massive amounts of equipment to the site, raising concerns
among Australian diplomats that Russia might build a permanent naval base with docks for ships and submarines at that time.
So they find this oasis, brava.
Bra.
And then all these militaries start racing towards it to build bases.
And then Russia builds a base near what he's going to explain it.
And if you want to jump in Twitch, I'm showing the video.
It looks like...
Kind of looks like a vagina.
But it also looks like an opening into like the underground part of Anarch.
They'll show you that photo.
It's no coincidence that one of the greatest anomalies on Google Earth lies just 35 miles from the Russian base, an enormous opening leading into the ground beneath Antarctica.
Is it a natural cave system or a man-made structure allegedly covered by a dome like...
Look at that Antarctica's...
Metallic entrance.
No one has the full answer, but it's curious that Russia chose that location for its first Antarctic base.
It's worth mentioning that even in...
in 2025, the region surrounding this alleged entrance on Google Earth still appears noticeably blurred.
Look, it's blurred now.
So, if he's just listening, he's, this guy's using Google, he made this video two weeks ago.
He's using Google Maps to try to zoom in on these parts.
They're blurred out, or they're really pixelated, or they're just literally in the middle of
Antarctica is a black circle.
But you can't see.
With strange distortions, broken textures, and sun.
sudden pixel glitches. Whether this is simply low-resolution mapping or something intentionally
obscured remains a matter of debate. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, explorers found more and more
of these so-called oases regions without ice, where waterfalls flowed into freshwater lakes
and mountains held fossilized remains of ancient forests. These oases were located deep
Brother.
Within the continent, far from the coast.
In 1947, the U.S. military even found two more oases
only a few hundred miles from the South Pole,
large enough to build entire bases with airstrips,
but the exact locations were kept secret to prevent rival nations from claiming them.
So if you're just tuning in, we're talking about the mysteries of Antarctica,
the unexplained, the confusing.
There's all these military bases being built there.
There's evidence of like past civilization,
text line is saying like the the theory is that like we don't want our species to see that like
you know populations have been wiped out before like are they hiding that from us i don't think they're
who knows i mean it's there's places you can definitely ramp up conspiracies around antarctica
some of it makes sense some of it doesn't and the world didn't always look like it does now so who
who knows where that part was before and then you know got buried or you know who knows and the part
that's weird now they're going to talk about, I'll let him explain, is apparently there's
patches of land. If you were to visit Antarctica right now, it's going to look like a big
frozen thing, but there's patches of land that get like 77 degrees. And it's for, and like things
can live there. Volcanoes right underneath it probably. These Antarctic oases were said to have
a dramatically warmer climate than the rest of the continent, allegedly featuring open lakes,
drinkable water, and temperatures reaching 77 degrees Fahrenheit, 25 degrees Celsius,
with warm winds blowing across the water and supporting various forms of plant life.
How was this possible?
Scientists didn't know then, and they still don't know today.
John Barant, who explored Antarctica in 1957, wrote about beautiful lakes surrounded by meadows
filled with never-before-seen flowers growing along the shores.
He concluded that these oases could easily support life,
and were perfect places for permanent bases, which leads to a troubling question.
Why can't we see any of these places on Google Earth?
The contrast between ice and green land would be unmistakable.
Yet after all these decades and hundreds of researchers stationed on the continent,
we still have no new photographs of these regions.
Why? What is the real reason?
I want to briefly mention the rumors that have circulated for years
about a massive ice wall surrounding Antarctica.
Not just a natural formation, but a barrier, a border.
Some researchers claim it wasn't formed by nature alone,
pointing to its immense size and the near-perfect continuity of the cliffs across the continent.
According to conspiracy theorists, this ice wall isn't just a frozen ridge.
It's a shield, hiding whatever lies inland.
Some even believe it was deliberately created to keep us out, or to keep something in.
So there you have it.
This week's high strangeness.
Keep something in.
The title of this week's
High Strangess is Antarctica.
What's going on down there?
What's going on there?
What are you guys doing down there?
No, it's mysterious, man.
You can't really see much on maps.
There's really not a lot of updated photos.
There's a random opening.
Well, used to have a frog.
There used to be frogs and different people and plants down there.
There's a lot of weird stuff going on there.
I love watching all those weird videos about those type
places about how there's, you know, on the other side of those walls as, you know, like
another world and like different civilizations and crap like that.
It's crazy because it's fun to think about because, I mean, if you don't know, then you don't
know.
So why not have fun with it?
And what's the reason I buy into it, like with conspiracies like the moon landing and stuff,
there was too many people involved.
Somebody's going to talk.
But with this, like how many people.
Gone to Antarctica, you know?
That's what I mean, where they still like...
Like, if it's less than a couple dozen, you can keep those people quiet.
And they said that scientists still can't figure out the reasons for, you know...
For the warm spots.
They're not sending back new photos.
I don't know what's going on.
And it's way more fun to let your brain be like, who knows?
Then to be like, no, it's nothing, you stupid jacket.
I like to have a little mystery around there.
It's way more fun.
Seeing Joe is right.
200% tariffs on Antarctica now.
200% tariffs.
Anything that comes from that wall.
To design the Lexus ES, all we had to do was listen.
Your ears said exactly where to put the speakers.
Your eyes told us where to put the available head-up display.
Hey, Lexus, find me an alternate route.
Even your right foot helped out.
It let us know you'd enjoy a little more torque.
Turns out, you had a lot to tell us.
We certainly heard you.
The Lexus ES, not just for you, by you.
See Burdick Lexus and Cicero.
Friday, we will be live.
Lock One distilling in Phoenix, New York.
It's already Friday.
For our big festivist for the rest of the show, we'd love it if you joined us.
Unreal.
Of course, if you want to get on the VIP list, I am pretty much full, but you can stream
us live all morning on Twitch.com.TV slash K-Rox, C&Y.
Watch the feats of Strength.
If you want to air your grievances, text them to K-Rox text line right now, 315, 365,

I'm collecting those to read off Friday morning.
We have some fun games plan, some fun giveaways.
There's a Mama Mac prize pack apparently that she wrapped for people.
So there you go.
If you are going to be in the audience, don't forget to get your dollar store gift exchange.
Wrap up a silly gift you find it a dollar tree or dollar store, family dollar.
And I mean, it might be getting full, but I mean, real fans tailgate.
Oh, I mean, I'm just saying.
I'm just saying.
If 6 a.m. in early enough for you, too early for you to drink.
If 6 a.m. is too late for you to drink and you.
and you want to start earlier.
Get there early.
Go ahead.
Get out there.
Yes, they will have Mimosa flights, Mimosa Towers.
Yeah.
Brunch in a box.
Some other food options.
I'm just excited.
This is going to be fun.
Potential to be a real drunk morning over there at lock one distilling as we get things cooking.
I like when you can see like they do the initial.
Hey, we're here and everyone's loud.
And then just to say hello.
And then it just ramps up.
It does.
It starts to ramp up.
Every break gets a little crazier.
People are getting a little more hammered.
We'll start playing games, and some of these games are very physical,
and they get very silly.
We're going to have a great morning.
Hope you can make sure you tune in and watch that live as it happens.
Today is National Chocolate Cover Day, Cody.
I mean, we've got to do another version of a butter, Cody.
I mean, start melting.
Start melting.
Let's go. I...
Pour on me feel.
Found a one of my favorite treats at the Wegman's Y.
yesterday and that's yogurt covered raisins.
I know it's not popular with a lot of
a lot of you, but...
I like the chocolate-covered ones better, but...
Mm-hmm.
So, I mean, but I'll accept a yogurt one,
but now, God, I like the chocolate ones.
And America's favorite chocolate-covered treat is, can you guess?
Prethos!
Nope.
Oh. Peanhas.
No.
M. M.
Nope.
Prethos.
Bacon.
Chocolate-covered bacon is America's favorite chocolate-covered treat.
It's a popular treat, dude.
I mean, it's good.
Mm-hmm.
But sometimes it depends.
You got to have a good bacon.
Because you've ever had a bad one of those?
I like the ones that Lindsay and Ashley Lynn makes.
That's a good one.
She makes the good chocolate-covered bacon.
Because you take a bite and it's a bite.
It's a crunch, yeah.
I'm not going to, because I don't remember where they were,
but I remember getting one from a place once and, like, taking a bite and, like,
all the bacon.
And I'm like, it's got to be good cooked bacon.
Like, what is this?
It's got to be good cooked bacon.
Lindsay did a good job.
She has, like, a crunchy bacon.
You're taking bites off it.
I know exactly what you're talking about.
Yep.
So, going by state, if you break it down, so almonds, chocolate-covered almonds are our top New York one.
Almond.
Almond.
Nah, those are the ones I throw out for the birds and the squirrels.
I think my favorite chocolate-covered treat would be a chocolate-covered raisin.
Oh, strawberries.
All followed by a strawberry.
What the hell?
The problem is they're just really expensive.
They are.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Box of raisinettes I can just get at the movies.
That's true.
Chocolate covered strawberries are an investment.
Does anybody want chocolate cover pretzel?
Do you have some?
You just want one?
Aw, he's going to mall rats me.
So then they started breaking down more unique chocolate cover treats.
And, dude, no, no, I want all of these.
I like when things.
that aren't usually covered in chocolate,
it covered in chocolate.
California makes chocolate-covered blueberries.
Yes.
I've had that.
I want that.
Whatever, but I've had of chocolate-covered blueberry.
That is really good.
Pennsylvania's doing chocolate-covered apple slices?
Oh, that I don't know if I ever had it.
I don't want that in my mouth.
I go through the caramel with the apple.
So I would say a chocolate would be pretty good.
Even if it was like dunking in some melted chocolate,
that would be really good.
apples and chocolate.
Oh, Granny Smith.
New Jersey's doing
chocolate covered pineapple.
What's your vibe on that?
I like it because of all arrangements.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
So I know that that is a combo I enjoy.
Yeah, Governor Chat says chocolate-covered potato chips.
Those are the, quote, wings that chocolate-covered pizza company does.
That's something completely different.
That's a whole different level.
You can't get what they do there anywhere else.
Because it has like some peanut butter, too, right?
I don't know how they do.
But it's like a melted peatopal.
peanut butter that's still melted inside of the chocolate covered potato chip.
Yeah.
I don't know how they do it.
Dude, I love a chocolate covered marshmallow, like a big marshmallow with the...
It's just...
They have them down at sweet on chocolate.
Dude, I'll spend $30 on chocolate-covered marshmallows down there.
Yeah, those are so good.
Popcorn in Florida.
Chocolate-covered popcorn?
Okay.
All right.
I do like that.
I do like that mix.
A chocolate with some salty popcorn.
I like popcorn with a chocolate decoding.
I think too bad.
of the Buckeye flavored one in my cupboards right now.
Let me ask you about Ohio, and if you'd be down with this,
chocolate covered pickles.
Because, again, you don't like pickles just the juice,
so you wouldn't like biting into a pickle probably.
I like pickles, but not...
No, not like that.
No.
I don't think...
I don't know.
I'm trying to envision it in my head.
I would try it because it's a salty sweet thing.
If it were a chocolate-covered pickle...
chip.
Oh no, that's what I'm
picturing.
I'm not doing a spear.
I don't want a big
kosher deal.
No, no, no, no.
Yeah, it's got to be a chip,
like a pickle chip.
Also, that just made me remember
that I forgot to put
pickles on my burger last night.
That was going to be like a main feature.
You just forgot to do it?
Did you have the pickles?
And I just remembered right now.
Yeah.
All right.
And then
grapes in Kentucky.
Hmm.
Did you forget to make them raisins?
See, I would try that,
But the problem with some of these is they're wet.
So you got to make sure they're really dry before you get them all chocolate covered.
But then in a grape, it's wet inside.
So you got to, I don't know.
I don't know how it works.
Sustainability.
And then North Carolina is doing chocolate covered crickets.
I don't hate that.
I'll have that.
I don't hate that.
That sounds delicious.
Bugs are good.
What's your favorite chocolate covered treat, folks?
Inside the door, kids.
He is.
He is, you better not about you better not cry.
There's nine days left for you little snot-nosed brats to get your ish together.
Yeah.
Stop being little jerks to your parents.
Yes.
Or else.
Listen, I don't make the rules.
I went through it too.
Yeah.
You either.
He's watching.
He sees you when you're sleeping.
Oh, and he knows when you're awake.
He knows when you've been better.
Just saying.
All right, I'm just saying, kids.
Well, you know.
And all the elves on a shelf are reporting back, a bunch of snitch asses.
You could turn it around still.
Uh-huh.
You can make amends.
It's like those Catholics.
They go into their confession booth.
Hey, listen, mom, dad, or whatever your situation is at home, your caregivers.
Yeah.
Grandma, grandma, mom, whatever is.
Hey, hey, I effed up.
I know that.
I'm making amends with you.
I'm making amends with you.
with Santa. I want to be on the up and up here for Christmas. Now tell Santa to bring that ass.
The kid just, just cutting the mustard, just straight to it. Hey, hey, hey, come here. I know I've been
a little naughty this year. I see the error of my ways. Should not get in the way of my PlayStation.
That's not. That's on me. That's on me. That's on me. That's on me. As I did this.
I threw a tantrum at the target. That's on me. Did I not get the cycle set that I wanted even though
you promise me that I can get one thing if I behave myself
and I behave myself the entire day.
That is not a hino there.
If you can't keep good on your deals,
that's not a hino there.
Because now we're going forward today, okay?
I apologize for things I have said
and things I have done in the previous year.
I do not want to be reflected so in my gift receiving.
Thank you.
Where's that little bitch winky, that elf on the show?
You watching this?
Uh-huh.
Where is he today? Where is he today?
I'm going to be a good boy.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Good sight.
Send nudes.
And by that I mean your nude Christmas tree, which I guess is the trend this year.
Did you know this?
What?
Nude Christmas trees or naked Christmas trees, they're calling them.
Just the lights.
Oh.
Tree with just the lights.
I mean.
The naked Christmas tree trend is going viral this year as people are obsessed with checking out nudes.
Send tree nudes.
Online.
I don't like the ones that are like crazy packed,
but I get it because people with kids,
there's nothing you can do.
I mean, I have too many myself.
My box of ornaments,
it fills up a tree like way too much.
Yeah.
So even my own box of ornaments,
I don't put all of them up when I put them up.
I go nuts.
I got to see all the pictures of my little babies
when they were little and preschool.
I got to see all that.
Yeah, you got kids, so you still are in that.
I got to see him and I got to get emotional about it.
You got to put up all the little, and don't jump over the table here, because I did the same thing.
All the little crap they made for you and you were growing up where they...
Look, it's my face inside of a wreath.
And I love it.
Oh, but it's the size of a paper plate.
Put it on the tree.
It's not really a...
Because I guarantee you right now, you go to Debb and Tam and Depp's house.
Our little preschool faces are still on that tree, bud.
That's what I'm saying.
I know that we did it too, but.
My mother has an ornament that I made.
I mean, she's got all my baby little ornaments.
There is an ornament that I'll see this year with me, probably 1986,
1987, and the wreath is made out of pretzels.
Those are 38-year-old pretzels.
You're damn right.
And that's holding strong on Tempton's tree.
Put it on the tree.
It's not a, it's the size of a construction, piece of construction.
I do not care.
I do not care.
I will speak now on the other side.
I get why she does it.
I've never taken my babies off the Christmas tree.
They're always going to be on that tree.
Till they're old and miserable just like me.
I'm going to have their little cute faces.
They're a little cute.
What's the one?
One of them is holding like a candy cane.
Oh, my sweeties.
A tree without any ornaments, decorations,
tinsles, or even lights.
Some people are just trees up.
I'm done.
Yep, we're done.
It's modern and.
Minimalist.
I don't like that look.
I don't like modern minimalism.
I like maximalism.
I like stuff.
Look at the studio.
We like stuff.
Yeah, I like stuff for the holidays like that.
That's the one year that, or one time of year really, I don't mind clutter.
Put it all, all the stuff up.
But also, again, don't try to act like you're reinventing the wheel.
No, this is modern minimalism.
As Cody, it says, you're not doing a thing by just not doing a thing.
You didn't decorate the tree.
Oh, no, this is elegant, peaceful, and streamlined.
That was intentional.
Oh, really?
But you still spend $85 on the tree,
so you're really not minimalizing much by spending $90.
85, bro.
You wish it's $5,000 for these trees, these balls of the ones?
Oh, I was just thinking of a random one they went and chopped down and put up and then didn't do anything with it after.
That's what I'm picturing in my head.
I texted Cody the other week.
Because when you're thrifting, you're in a different world.
it's a mixed world of people who are just looking for good deals,
people who are in need, there's a lot of people in there.
And the people you encounter are fantastic.
And I was looking through my albums.
Follow me on K Rock Josh, TikTok and Instagram, K Rock Josh,
where I listen to albums I buy the Thrust Store, K Rock Josh on TikTok.
And I texted Cody because they had two Christmas trees,
used, you know, Christmas trees.
They weren't bad.
The one of them was like it had the lights on it.
They had the little cranberry things and a couple little birds.
It was a nice tree.
And I think it was listed for like 40 bucks.
And this woman, she wanted everyone to know that price is ridiculous.
And it was right next to where I was on the album.
And she comes in.
Is it too much?
40 bucks.
She comes in, she goes, she looks at it.
She goes, $40.
I can buy one brand new for $4.
$40?
And then she didn't stop there.
No, well, no, no, nobody gave in, nobody acknowledged what she was saying.
Now she's got to walk and it's like, I don't want to be sucked into this.
I'm like, I don't, please don't address me.
And she's like, she's like, that's why I don't donate here anymore.
$40.
And she's trying to get you, go you into it by looking, she's not talking to you, but she's
talking at you.
Talking at me because I'm the only one right there.
I wanted to be like, I think $40.
is quite fair.
Or you just turn and you just turn.
I think that that's a quite fair price for that Christmas tree, man.
That's all you, man.
This money's going to a good cause.
$40.
You crazy.
Buy one brand new for $40.
You crazy.
Back to this.
This is the naked Christmas tree tend, the nudes, if you will.
Some say it looks joyless and unfinished.
I don't think it looks joyless.
It's just not my look.
You can have just, even if you do anything,
just put lights on it at least.
And then you don't need
Ornaments. It's just it gives it
It's your own little flare.
If that's your vibe, if you like the naked Christmas tree, you do you.
But I also don't.
I feel like you're going, it's one of those where
You're...
Why even bother?
Yes, you're going out of your way
To make it look like you're being a modern minimalist.
Modern and minimal.
Really?
Because you went to all the trouble of putting the damn tree up.
Getting a tree, no matter where you got it,
If you went to the trouble of getting a fake one,
then you went to the store and bought a tree.
If you had it in your basement,
you went to the trouble of getting it out of storage
and you still keep a tree because you want a tree.
Or if you caught one down, you did that.
Either way, you had to make room for a tree,
so you're not minimalizing anything.
And in my opinion, you might have done the hardest part.
Yes.
We're just putting the damn tree up.
Yeah, you did the thing.
Now you're just like, I'm done.
No, this is enough.
I'm done.
All right, fine.
Well, take a break.
You might just be tired from lugging an entire tree out of a basement or cutting down a tree.
Usually when lumberjacks are done for the day, they don't bring home their trees and decorate them.
Yeah, so give them a day.
Yeah, then he'll go out of it.
We want to put some cute little tinsel on there, some cute little lights.
Who's doing the naked tree?
Whenever you finish cleaning the studio windows, could you just throw out of here,
we're going to jump on the air real quick.
I got to walking around, cleaning things.
Sanitizing your phone, wiping up the windows.
It's not right.
Good morning, everybody.
Happy Tuesday.
What a beautiful night.
Tonight for Wegman's lights on the lake.
It's a Taco Tuesday, which means everybody who goes is going to get a little coupon for a free taco from Taco Bell.
Plus, everybody gets $10 in splash cash.
So like Cody's been saying, you're making money tonight.
You're crazy.
You're not making money tonight.
You're not going.
Okay.
You just like to throw away a free taco.
Okay.
Okay.
Sure.
Trust me.
That $10 is a splash car wash.
all this, I can't even see out my windows most days.
It's just covered in salt.
Yeah, I mean, probably be a good day for us to head on over there.
Yeah.
I mean, it might be a good day for that.
I've never been a subscription car wash guy.
This is my first car wash subscription with unlimited uses.
I get it.
And we are both addicted.
And I don't know if I can go back.
I get it.
I don't know if I could live like you peasants who just every once in a while
wash your car.
I, no joke.
when I got my car back
I went to my
little place that when it's cold
they don't turn the stuff off
so you can get free water
like a free little wash kind of
but it's just the basic
and I was doing it
and then it does this thing where
because again it's not supposed to
you're not supposed to be washing your car with it
but it stops
it gives you like
45 seconds of a spray
and then it turns off for like 10 seconds
and in that 10 seconds when it's off
I'm standing there I'm going
what am I doing?
What is this?
Why do you got to spray your car off?
Because the salt and sourness.
Yeah, I like to get all the salt off.
I'm like, you know, yeah, I like that car.
I like the way it looks.
So now that I've got this, it's like, I get it.
Because I used to see those people over at a place and at a time like this and be like,
what are you doing?
Mark my words, Cody.
You got to have it.
You guys don't know.
Over the summer, I installed a basketball hoop in our, on our driveway.
to live above the rim.
Where our son lives above the rim.
And the pole is right there at the edge of the driveway.
And this is my first winter with a giant pole at the edge of my driveway.
And when I'm up at 4.45 in the morning,
trying to back out of my driveway with salt all over my mirrors and my camera.
Yep.
I get so close.
I'm going to back into that pole at some point.
I just know it.
I always try to make sure.
Because the same thing that I try to take, like I have like a little
paper towel and I'll try to
get a little condensation on it.
If I remember, go back and do that
just a little quick because I, the same
thing, or I'll be in a situation where I'm
trying to back up and I look and I go, oh my God.
Yeah. It's right
where I back up and now like every morning
I'm like, it's pitch black. I can't see out of any
of my things. Wrap,
I mean, now it would be a little rough, but
pool noodle it.
Oh yeah, it's a good, not bad idea. But also
the greatest
invention that my old Volkswagen ever had.
And I don't know if more cars do this.
My current Volkswagen doesn't and it's my biggest complaint about it.
My old Volkswagen, my Volkswagen golf, my little tiny car where my kids are really little.
You know the circular Volkswagen logo?
It was a door and the camera was hidden in it.
So it was always clean.
So when I back up the door, go.
Awesome.
And then the camera would you work?
That's cool.
I've never seen that on anything.
Not on my new ones.
That's neat.
That's me.
I'm a new one.
No, if anything, mine's just a little bulb that's sitting there that you could probably smash with a rock.
Mm-hmm.
That's cool.
So, anyway, that's my complaint.
Oh, sister's car is a camera cleaner.
Fancy.
Boosy ass.
That's my nickname.
What?
The camera cleaner?
A camera cleaner.
A la la la la.
Um, we got to get a bag of bugles.
Okay.
Because.
I mean, welcome to my latest obsession, but.
Bugles?
Didn't know that you were involved in my, in my, in my,
I had.
Are we doing a bugle thing?
I have to go to Circle K for most of the time because the other one, I don't know
exactly where they're located all the time, but I know that they're always at Circle K.
I want the salt and vinegar and I want the cinnamon toast crunch bugles.
I get the two bags.
I've never had a salt and vinegar bugle, you bastard.
I want to get that now.
Did you hear the second one?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I mean, yes, I hear you, but I don't know if I want that.
I do want the salt and vinegar.
Yep.
So, there you go.
Because it is weird that you've been into bugles and I'm going to do a bugle story here.
You talk about an an arcana.
I don't know why all these things are lining up.
It stresses me out because I'm like wondering, like, am I predicting?
See, one thing about me.
Cody, one thing about you, boy, is I'm going for that worst case scenario.
Whatever the scenario is in my brain.
Could it just be one thing?
I'm going to the worst case scenario.
So in my head right now, I'm like, wow, Josh, you're able to predict a whole bunch of things.
So all those fears you have in your head 24-7, those are actually going to come true because those are real fears and you're seeing them.
Oh, can you predict a...
Let's see.
We're doing that then.
Like, uh...
Let's see.
Do I want a sky animal or a ground animal?
I either want to see a bear up by me.
But, yeah, an eagle wouldn't be as cool as I see in an on a dog of a lake all the time.
Uh-huh.
Well, I just have a bear.
All right.
I have a bear pop out of those woods.
See, it doesn't like...
Well, I'm in the car.
I don't need to see it up there.
I can't, I can't, I can't, like...
Not that one?
Ah.
I can't.
create things, I can only see things that are going to happen.
Gotcha.
And of course, my brain is constantly anxious in seeing the worst outcomes of everything.
So then I start to believe that those are real.
That's...
I get it.
That's...
I got to get back to therapy.
I think it's been too long.
I was going to say, no, that's something that you probably have to...
The OCD and the health anxiety is getting real bad, bud.
Real bad!
But this guy, back to bugles.
They can help me clean some windows and stuff if you want.
Back to bugles.
I'm not having a good time in my brain.
He discovered that he can no longer fit bugles on his fingers.
Now, did they make bugles smaller or did he grow up?
That's my question.
I don't know.
My hands have been the same size since I've been like eight.
So you've been able to do witches nails forever, right?
Yeah, I got the tiniest pinky ever.
I don't care.
All my hands fingers.
I bought this bag of bugles for the first time in like 15 years.
And I bought them because I wanted to put my finger through them like a little hat.
You know, none of them have an opening for the hat.
None.
Is this a Dorito?
Bugles.
What happened?
Do they not have the hole anymore?
I don't know what he's talking about there.
I, okay.
You're my bugle connoisseur, please.
I know what he's talking about.
I think that bugles is focused less on the need for them all to be.
I see.
Like, I think back in the day, quality control, I picture, like, being on the vending, you know,
the vending machine going across all the bugles on the little, the conveyor belt,
and a guy being like flicking out the ones that, you know, are closed or now it's like those are still fine.
There's not, they're not, you know, broken or anything.
Because the bag he is showing they're not all.
No.
The classic bugle shape, you know, they are kind of broken.
The ends aren't.
But a bunch are.
But a bunch aren't.
Because, again, I don't think that's as important anymore as, you know, like especially.
You're saying the bugle folks have dialed back on the quality control.
Of that part.
Because it doesn't matter.
Because especially with like a coat.
COVID and stuff where you're like, no, don't put them on your hands and walk around.
Okay.
Just eat them.
But I think it's more of what you're saying.
It's like, I don't know, don't throw out the broken ones because we're strapped here.
Well, because again, they're not even broken.
They're just flatter or they're flat or it's, I'm picturing that one where like one lip is like bloop.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm seeing them.
Yeah.
So, I mean, it's not a bad bugle.
But it still tastes like bugles?
Yeah.
But they're not as bugly.
What is?
And this is, I don't know how to say this question.
in any other way, so I'll just say it.
What is a bugle flavor?
Like, is that a tortilla?
Is that a chip? What's a bugle made?
Is it potato?
Yes.
Ask Cody A.I. Go ask Cody A.
What's that? What's a... Oh, it's in the sanitizer.
It's clean. It's clean. It's clean.
I didn't flip it over. Okay. And you're touching it now, so you've got to start the whole
process over again. What is a bugle?
Yeah, let's see what it says.
Oh, no, no. What is it? A trumpet.
All right. No. What is a bugle chip?
What is a bugle chip made of?
Text lines saying corn.
Chat saying corn.
Made from yellow corn meal mixed with oils, sugar, and salt.
They're then shaped and either fried or baked.
Different flavors add things like cheese powder or spices.
Okay.
Okay.
So yellow corn.
Yellow corn flavor.
Nice.
That's what I tend to go for if you ask me what I want on my taikitos.
A yellow corn?
I would like a yellow corn.
Yeah, me too.
I don't like the flour tortillas.
I go to the yellow corn.
I like a yellow corn.
Oh, I forgot that I got taikitos waiting for me at home.
I got to get going here, guys.
Says a heads up.
What?
Goya changed their box.
In case you're going to look at the...
No, I got great value.
Just saying, in case you...
I've been going through all my taquitos.
I've done the Juan ones.
I've been the Del Mexico ones.
I've done the great value ones.
I think, I'm telling you, you might like the Goya ones.
I haven't found the Goya ones anywhere.
Pea chop.
Okay.
Pchop.
The great value ones are my favorite right now, Walmart ones.
Those are very good.
There are clearly a lot of...
your favorites too because they're sold out whenever I go find them. We will be live and on location
up at lock one distilling in Phoenix, New York, coming up Friday morning for our annual
festival festival. List is pretty much full. I'm going to pull up to call people I posted on our
K Rock Facebook page a little invite option. So I'll reply to some of those comments today. But then I
think we're pretty much full. And I hope to see a lot of you in attendance. Of course, if you couldn't
get on the list, you can stream it live on our Twitch channel all morning long.
And I might have some pull, so if Josh tells you know, Cody could work you in.
I can be bought.
You might have to sit in the restroom, but you'll get in there.
You'll be in the building at least.
I might have to sit directly next to Josh.
Oh, that'd be fun for everybody.
My seat is up for grabs.
I sit on the floor.
I don't know what the rule is if like Amazon sends me a package, but that's not my package.
Like, I can't keep that package, right?
What am I supposed to do?
See, that stuff is weird, man.
I don't really know.
I just had that happen, and I didn't know what to do,
and I just had a Christmas card come to me,
and it was just a Christmas card,
but I just opened it because I didn't look on the envelope first,
and it wasn't for me, so I didn't know what to do.
I put it back in the envelope,
and when the mailman came, I was like,
I don't know what to do, like, this wasn't for me.
I just opened it, and he took it back,
and that was the end of it.
So I don't know if they redo something,
but with a package from Amazon.
It's funny you say that.
There is a house.
How do I say this without saying my address?
My address is similar to another road.
Like not even on my road.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
So it's my house and then number and row.
Some other thing that's very close.
There's another road that's similar.
Okay.
And we would get letters for this guy's address all the time.
And I would get nervous and be like, well, what if this is like an important bill or medication?
so I would drive it to his mailbox
and deliver it
and after like three times I wrote a postal note being like
this gentleman does not at this address
and it hasn't happened since thankfully.
Nope, that happens not as much
but it would happen around my mom
because in Syracuse there's different
there's like different sides of
there's like first street, second street, third street
but there's like east first street
east third street east third street
East, it's crazy.
That's confusing.
You would always get other, like,
the same address, but this one.
Hello, this got delivered in my house.
Well, a woman down near Washington,
a family in Washington, D.C.,
has received more than 100 Amazon packages.
You can't keep, no, you can't.
Meant for the Arlo Hotel.
So I guess the Arlo Hotel's address.
Well, then.
Is one letter away from their address.
Yes.
Because I get packages that are supposed to be going to, like, Holiday and Express.
I don't know if I'm giving them back.
Yeah, that's why I'm like, obviously.
That's where my shady side comes out a little.
Same.
I'm like, what is this?
Even if I don't want it, I'm like, this is the universe giving me a little gift.
What is this?
What is this?
A little freebie here?
Cool, whatever.
Pillows?
People who are staying at the hotel or ordering from Amazon,
since they're like in a metropolitan area,
they're probably like one day or same day delivery.
No.
So people would just order things.
She said she's received cat food, vitamins, and a chainsaw.
Yo, I can give them back no chainsaw.
Well, what's a guy at a hotel down with a chainsaw?
Murderers are getting lazy, bro.
You can't just order your chainsaw.
No, you stay there.
Bro.
You stay there.
I'm ordering a chainsaw, and I'm going to cut you up.
Good.
Address.
Hmm.
Let me just call the front deck, see what the address is.
What's the address to this hotel?
Yeah.
Oh, I'm having a chainsaw delivered.
So if it shows up, could you sign for it?
Luckily, she said the chainsaw guests did come and pick it up, did not ask any questions.
No, no, would I?
I would say, good luck.
No, what are you doing?
I think I might ask lots of questions.
She said late night visitors after 8 p.m.
would be seeking their packages because they were confused.
They'd be like, I think that I sent the package here.
Amazon confirmed it's investigating and developing a solution to the address confusion issue.
Yeah.
No.
I don't know.
I think I keep everything.
Dude, you sent this to my house.
Yeah.
I didn't steal this.
Yeah, if it's, I mean, long as it's not, you know, like an address, if it's just like a Walmart or something.
Like, is there a lawyer listening?
They can tell me what the rule is with this.
You probably have to give it back or do something.
You gave it to me.
It was a gift.
Yeah, I don't know how that works.
That was a gift.
You don't know.
A gentleman walked this up my drive.
and put it on my front porch.
That was a gift.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Keeping this PlayStation now.
Oh, yeah.
Shout out to the Sound Garden back on the air running commercials with this.
I love the Sound Garden, man.
The place is great.
I took my oldest there recently as they were shocked to see physical media.
Right.
And it's, I'm like, look at these are DVDs.
These are CDs.
Yep, they get, they used to anyway.
I'm sure they still have some type of variety of really good wrestling DVDs.
Oh, nice.
If you're a horror fan, they're horror.
fan, their horror selection is incredible at the Soundgarden.
Yeah, they got a lot of, just...
Just get over there and try stuff.
All that stuff.
T-shirts, they got, like, clothing and stuff over there.
Metal CDs.
We're going to talk to one of the owners here soon on the air as they are buying vinyl.
Follow my, uh, follow my TikTok, K Rock Josh's.
I'll be over there doing a little vinyl hall at some point, a video with them,
probably after the holidays here.
We got a bunch.
My mom found a bunch.
She did.
She sent them to me.
She says, do you want to listen to these?
And I go, they're too, like, popular.
They were too mainstream.
People are going to know these.
But I was, I like, you know, you have like the Google phone thing.
And some of them are pretty rare.
Like she's got Billy Joel's or somebody's, I think it was Billy Joel.
Still rock and roll to me.
But like somebody in one of their first albums.
There's a, there's some really interesting albums that were in there.
So, I mean, who knows?
They're from one of her previous victims, right?
Yep.
That's what she does.
Property of one of her previous victims.
She waits, hits and waits, and strikes.
I have a very severe health anxiety, so I don't know why I even click these links,
but I was going to read an article about specialty cocktails for the holiday season,
and of course right above it.
New research confirms strong link between alcohol and cancer.
Okay.
Don't read that, Josh.
Well, I got it in your brain.
Something for their mouths to put on.
So don't put that in my brain.
Because who cares?
All I think about all the time.
That's so irresponsible.
I don't know if they can control that.
They put it out because it.
Smarter people would not drink, but I'm not smart.
Don't put that on top of a article that's about booze.
Vintage cocktails.
We know the warnings.
You want to try around the holiday.
See, it's the holiday season.
If you want to die.
Exactly.
Why?
Thanks, article.
I guess I just got to keep getting checked.
That's all I can do.
Yeah, Fuzz, stay off Google.
Just stay off of it.
But I want to hear some holiday cocktails.
I love a holiday cocktails.
The gimblet is a refreshing, sophisticated beverage composed of gin, lime, and sugar, or a simple syrup.
I don't like gin.
I like some gins, but it tastes too much like pine trees to me.
I'm not really a gin drinker.
Too strong for me.
I don't like gin.
Classic Tom Collins, very similar to the gimlet.
Tom Collins is fizzy and served over ice, gin, lime juice, and a sugar, or a simple syrup.
Is this going to be like the Jim Gaffigan joke?
What about Mexican food?
No, what?
Oh, same.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I hope they start breaking it up.
And this one.
Gin.
Sugar.
Boulevardier, maybe.
Boulevardier, a cocktail with sweet vermouth.
No, there's no gin.
Please don't be gin.
Here comes.
All right.
Gin.
But, but the Bolivier, Bolivier, or whatever it's called,
is a bourbon.
Okay.
With a generous portion of Nogroni.
What is it?
And a twist of orange.
Nogroni is a beer?
I thought.
Maybe not.
I don't think I've ever had Nogroni now that I see that.
No, I don't.
No, I was thinking, no.
How about the last word?
It was named.
It's an Italian liquor.
It is.
Right before Prohibition, this drink was popular in the 1920s.
Bold notes of gin.
You got to remember these are classic.
Everybody was drinking gin in the 20s.
Herbal flavors,
Maraschino liqueur
and a green chartreuse
liqueur with a zesty, bright, fresh
lime juice. A punchy cocktail
served in a martini glass.
You can replace the gym with some scotch
of whiskey. How about a hanky
pankey? Can I serve you hanky?
Yeah, it depends. It depends.
Gin, sweet vermouth,
and Furnette Bronca.
Some recipes call for a dash
of orange juice. Little Beatrice
Bourbon. Hot toddy, we know all about.
Hot toddy. There's no gin in that one.
A little whiskey honey and lemon body.
Yep.
A French 75.
If anybody's feeling ill at all.
Whip up a hot toddy and you're good to go.
French 75, well, it is, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, you don't want to know if the
Oswega County French 75 is.
Believe me, you don't.
She's 75 and she will French.
It is an elegant cocktail with a potent kick and interesting history.
Okay.
French 75 blends gin.
lemon juice, sample
syrup and champagne.
I drooled. Guys. I drooled.
I'm trying to read some holiday vintage
cocktails here and all you're doing is drinking gin.
All right, how about a sidecar? I know what we do
is a sidecar. It's a shot ski next to whatever.
Yeah. But this combines gin.
Combines gin. With some classic other ingredient.
Cognac.
Oh. No, I can't.
Alongside orange-flavored liqueurs, sugar, and lemon
juice. You know what that traditionally served in a sugar
go to rim. That's probably good. Okay, that one is probably not too bad.
I mean, I can only have the one because that, no, that's gonna, a coniac can probably knock me in
around. Gin and juice will get you there, bud.
Oh, Pisco Punch.
Who Piscoe in the punch?
All right. Get out of here.
Where's my Piscoe punch?
Pisco punch was the signature cocktail of Mark Twain.
Oh, Mark Twain.
Lots gin.
One of the reasons to the cocktail success was the accessibility of Piscoe, which was a grape brandy.
Oh, boy.
I don't think I want great brandy.
No, that sounds terrible.
The drink was made with lemon juice,
pineapple syrup, distilled water,
and the Pisco.
Pisco.
Okay.
It declined of popularity after, you know, the thing.
Trink a couple, though.
You're going to have to take a couple Piscos.
Death in the afternoon.
Oh.
This is a big concoction.
Absinth and champagne, dude.
Whoa.
Cocktail's greatest claim to fame is that it is said to have been invented by,
Ernest Hemingway.
Oh, yeah, back then, man.
You probably just do whatever you could to get just blackout drunk.
What else you got to do?
What else you got going on?
There's no sports center.
There's no PlayStation.
Exactly.
What are you going to do?
How about the Jack Rose?
The drink gets a vivid reddish pink hue from some grenadine.
Ooh, then once you pour gin in there.
And then once you mix it with gin, no, Jack Rose is, what does it say?
Give you a job?
Apple, brandy, and fresh lemon juice.
Ooh, all right, that one does it sound bad.
And then finally, the pink squirrel.
These are some classic cocktails.
I bet this is good.
It is a cream liqueur.
Marrime, I'm out.
With a white cream liqueur, heavy cream,
garnish with nutmeg.
Yep.
Where's the booze?
Oh, I guess the creams are the booze.
Yeah, cream liqueur.
Cream liqueurs.
So it's like a...
Cocktails, the first incarnation,
called for ice cream instead of cream.
Ooh.
Why is it pink?
Because of the red grenadier,
the grenadine there, whatever it's called.
Yeah, the...
Mm, okay.
Mm-mm, mm-mm.
Anyways, there are some classic cocktails that science say are going to give us all cancer.
We're all going to die and life is miserable.
Beautiful night for Wegman's lights on the lake.

Cody and I are going to play a little basketball.
It's kind of been our game lately.
We're having a lot of fun.
It's been fun.
This year, if you haven't played a basketball game in a couple years,
because you stopped like I did because the shooting was the stupidest thing that's ever existed.
It's real fun now.
You couldn't make a basket.
That's not this year.
No, we really like this game.
So we'll play a little shooting hoops in there.
