The Show - GONE COUNTRY

Episode Date: November 12, 2025

Candy canes can be a pain in the ass, but Brach’s has an answer. A massive spider den in an underwater cave. The Bearista cups continue to create a stir. Some of the worst fast food fries. An AI Country song goes to Number one. Plus so much more on a Wednesdee!

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. Good morning. Happy Wednesday.

The November 12th, 2025 year of our Lord. Hey, yo! Hey,o! I think the hardest part about yesterday was just a shock to the system, you know? Like, I don't know what totals you guys got. We got almost eight inches up in the Fulton area. Yeah. It was just a shock to the system.

We were thrown into ice water yesterday. That was a quick one. It usually, but do you see what I mean, though, about what I've been saying all year, about the weather being like that, moody teen you're trying to get to do something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just you're trying to get Mother Nature to slowly, hey, I'm just asking you nicely, we've got some time.

If you could ease us into winter. No, no. And then. No, eight inches of snow. Yeah, all right, I will. Okay, fine, I will. All right, I'm just letting you know, though, just reminder that we're getting it. You know, now it's November just an ease into winter.

You know, nothing crazy. Just, you know. All right, I will. Here. And then you get eight inches of snow. No, not. I didn't mean. Not all that.

And it's winter. Yeah, I posted on my Facebook page yesterday. that, like, I went out and started shoveling, and my brain just snapped me back to last winter. It's like there was no time had passed. I was out there in it again. No, I remember vividly walking Elsa when it was still, not like this, but, you know, cold or whatever, when we were coming into nicer weather. Yeah, yeah.

And I was like, all right, we just got. That's so far away. And like another, I know, we got like another month. I was like then this, the grass and everything will start to, you know, turn and said it won't be 30 or whatever and all that. And I was doing that yesterday when it was blizzarding, walking Elsa. And I was like, we've got like six months. Yeah, bud. Yeah.

I don't know why we do this to ourselves. I don't know. It is pretty for a couple of months around here. These two months, I like it. I like it for November and December, and even some of January is okay. But then the next half of January, all of February, once we get into like March, I don't even, I'm not even saying that it needs to be 70 degrees. No, just 50 is good.

Just like, yeah, upper 40s, low mid 50s, no snow. So I hope you got March Madness with the doors open. Hope you got yourself dug out from yesterday's little fun. I just didn't, I didn't enjoy driving in it yesterday. I didn't enjoy being out in the cold yesterday. Yeah. Just a lot of PTSD that came back yesterday from the previous winter. And there's still spots like I was looking around.

Like, you weren't even, you're not even done doing fall yet. I know, that's what pissed me off too. Mr. Tree? Is I'm driving around yesterday and like, you know, depends on where I went, like, three to six inches of snow. But also leaves fall. I'm like, well, we haven't even finished the fall part yet. That was also a very weird part about... There's leaves on top of the snow.

But being outside is that it was also still fall. I'm like, okay, you can't figure out what you're doing. We did it though, folks. We live in a weird spot, but we have each other, don't we? It is a whiskey Wednesday. Oh, yeah. We'll drink a little French toast whiskey tonight, Bod. Did you try any of that?

No, it is not available where I went yesterday to, because I wanted to get those new Welch's ones. Oh, what new one? They're not. Yeah, I don't know if they're new, but those ones. I'll bring you a little sip of it for tomorrow. The guys that Timeless tried it after you left. Yeah. They all loved it.

Yeah? They said it was fantastic. All right. We'll try that. It's not, I don't think it's available at liquor wine and moonshine. Yet, but they're working to get it. So I will talk to Tina over there today, let you know when they had that. But of course, they're still sponsoring tonight show.

Get the booze, Tina. Tina, get the booze. Whiskey Wednesday tonight at 7 o'clock. Come and get yourself. to drink. Twitch.tv. slash K Rock, C&Y, presented by Liquor Wine and Moonshine,

State Fair Boulevard, and East Coast Emeralds. You should do a cash grab. Just do a country album. Me? Me? Me? Well, people buy that?

Everyone buys that stuff. And come and get your sales something to drink. Just do it like C&Y, whatever. Call the album Cash Grab. Yeah. Okay. Literally just, yep. Oh, fishing out the dog down at Phoenix Lock on.

getting them where's you to drive? No, y'all, I'm country now. Where I just did? Come on, I'm country now. That was the first song, Fishing Hole. What? Just give me the lyrics again? Oh, what did I forget what I just said?

Come down to the fishing. Some fishing down at the Phoenix at the dock at the lock. Grab your ride and reel. Come on down. Get the feel of a real. Shipping on whiskey. Catching big fat ass. Something else.

Going to bombers and looking at that fat ass. Going to bombers. There's the local titan. There's the entire village of Phoenix will buy it from one song. I like that. I like that, Josh guy. He's country like me. I always knew that I liked that fella.

He seemed a little off for the most part, but I don't come around to him. I like what he says. I'm done coming around too. How do I say the candy, Brox, Brach, Brach? Brach, V-R-A-C-H? How do you say that? Is that Brox?

Because it's... Brackys? I think it's Brax. Bracks. I think. All right. Brax is releasing a new item. It's going on sale next Monday.

And it's a gimmick and it's stupid, but it's also a good idea, and I would buy one of these. It's called the cane opener. The candy cane opener. Now imagine, like, I'm going to show you a photo of it. I think I'm sort of already in.

Imagine like a little pencil sharpener that you kind of hold in your hand. Okay. And you just put the candy cane in and you give it a little twist to open up that, get that plastic off that candy cane. I don't hate that at all. You know what my move is? Just to suck it until the plastic comes off? No, not. I couldn't you bring my something.

Just. No, I just, I snap it. And then that way the plastic is already kind of whatever. Good idea. But I actually like that. They have a new limited addiction. candy cane opener. Looks like a little pocket lighter.

I think it looks more like a pencil sharpener. Yeah. The idea is that you stick the long end in... Go ahead. Tell us how to do it. And then that's all you do. Yeah, we figured. I guess you twist it a little bit. Stick it and twist it.

That's... No, I actually like that. That's a good idea. The opener also doubles as a Christmas tree ornament, so when you're done, you just kind of hang it on your Christmas tree. Oh, that is funny. Which is convenient because then you'll know where it is at all times.

See, that's a company that's sitting around trying to come up with new ideas, not just being like, we got candy corn, candy canes. And those little after-dinner mints that are kind of soft, but not really, but look like a chunk of a candy cane. That's good enough. They're only five bucks to go on sale Monday. Uh-oh, we're off the air. Hold on. They'll be gone. Uh-oh.

Uh-oh. Yep, we're off the air. Okay. Uh-oh. Well, congratulations to the Twitch and YouTube viewers. Each one sells for five bucks. Go to the cane opener.com. You like spiders.

Yeah. Do you like 110,000 spiders in one web? That's too many. That's too many spiders. Yeah, yeah. Researchers have found what may be the world's largest spider web. Oh, boy. In an underwater cave.

What? Yeah. Yeah. That's the part I can't wrap my hat around. It says underwater cave. So like if I do I have to swim into this cave? Oh, I don't know. And then I come up in the cave and it's air.

And it's the most spiders ever that has existed in the world. Because that just gave me the most goosebumps ever to think about that. An underwater cave? That you pop your head up out of that water. To get air. And it's the most spiders that have ever existed in the world. Yeah. And I think I saw, did I see a video of people poking at this spider web?

Oh, I don't know. Because I did see a video recently. of like hold on a second. No, I want to see. Look, Kelly says, my neighbor just told me he has 20 tarantulas. What? I ate one.

You did. That is true. Largest spider web. I have held tarantulas. They are wicked cool. They don't bite you. Yeah, world's largest spider web. Okay, yeah.

I'm going to show you a photo. Oh, my God, I don't have a cute on. Let me see. Did you look it up? Did you see it? Just Google it yourself. I can't bring it all up on my screen right now. Holy cow.

So many. That's real? The massive web covers 1,076 square feet along sulfur's cave wall and houses approximately 110,000 spiders from two species. Holy cow. They then break down like the names of these spiders. I don't know how to pronounce all these. The Tanginiara domestica. The Prino-Begas.

I don't know. Yeah, dude. Yeah. No, that was it. You're right. It's a unique case of two species cohabitating within the same web structure in this huge number. One of the scientists said it marks the first documented colonial web formation for these species.

Wow. You don't know. If you can't Google it right now, imagine like Halloween decoration level spiderwe. web. Like that stuff that comes in the bag. Yeah. And you spread it around. Yeah. Now do that like a hundred thousand times. Right. It's that dense. What is it? A thousand feet long?

It's square feet. So it's like, 176 square feet. That's, that's insane. So like most of our like homes. How big is your home? A thousand square feet? That's insane. All of it. Two thousand square feet. All of it. Now imagine it full of spider webs and spiders, Cody. Big ass.

spiders too. I don't even know what they are. Are they really big? Yeah, they don't, I mean, they look like a cross between like a weird tarantula and the, like, you know, those like, you know, like the spiders you see on the side of houses sometimes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Those. But like, maybe this is a dumb question. Why, what, how, what are they all eating? I don't know. Because in my, in my familiarity with spiders, they got to make a nest. Yep. They got to write some pig in it. We all know that. Yes. But like that, one spider needs that net to catch a lot of bugs so it can eat. Yeah.

If you've got this many spiders, where are they going to get all the bugs? Yeah, and it says it's one of the most extreme habitats on Earth. Completely dark filled with hydrogen sulfide gas. So what are they eating? Cave dwelling organisms. So like things that we've never even seen, dude. I guess. So you're telling me.

Things, they're just like, mm. There's 110,000 spiders living off cave dwelling organisms and, And noxious gases. Right. And we're not lighting that on fire. You got it. Because if that gets out, if any of those get out. You just got, you should just.

Just light it on fire. I don't want to hear about habitats and how everything's cohabitating. Just to get ahead of this, burn it. Light it up. Can you imagine, you know that, you know, when you're like walk by a space and there's like, you know, a car and like a house next to you? So you have to walk between them and like a spider. done its deed throughout the night. And you walk through that spider web.

Imagine that for a thousand feet. Yeah. And you can't escape it. And it's just this big thick blanket of spider up. Yeah, ew, ew. For a thousand feet. No, ew, no more. Ew, ew.

I'd poke it with a stick. We gotta burn it. But you got to be a priority, I think. I understand that, you know, they all leave them alone. They're not doing anything or blah, blah, blah. Right now they're not doing anything. Yeah, I don't care. Until they become sentient and find the way out of this cave.

they all form together as one. And they do like a transformer kind of situation where they all link up in some way, shape, or form. Yeah. Can you imagine though if it's underwater? What they had to do is they would be born and then they all descend

into that wherever they are in the water and they all just pop up on the shore or on the top of the water and they all somehow stayed waterproof in that big web and that whole web pops up on shore. And then you just And like I...

Surface of the waters. I know it's a real place, but you're not helping the case when it was studied by the University of Transylvania. Yeah, every time I see that, I'm like, that's not a real space. But it is a real place. And that's not helping me. It's not helping me with my fear of this situation. Yeah, don't worry. We tell you the spiders are cool.

Don't have any problems. Something's going on down there. Don't worry. Leave them alone. I don't like it. It's rubber chickens. Oh, what talent. Why is it so...

Why is it working so well? The guy, credit for fighting chickens with different tones. He had to find all these different tones. That's impressive. Good for him, man. It's just one guy. Just one guy. Playing a bunch of chickens.

Here, look at him. This is him. You can see him. I didn't bring it up my other screen, but that's him. He's just playing the chickens right there. Oh, my God. He's got like 20 chickens. Hanging off of strings.

Yeah. Yeah, bud. Yeah. That's not at all what I thought was going on. He's got, like 30 rubber chickens hanging in front of them. I thought he was just standing in front of

a microphone with one chicken going he he he he no, they're all different tonalities. They're all different tones. Playing just a lot of rubber chickens, bud. Good thing he's got no free time at all.

He figured that out. No. But I like that. He brought it to me. That was hilarious. Listen, music calms the mind. I've been trying to find ways to like, well, that does. It comes of mine. Rubber chickens. I've been trying to find ways to use my brain

other than doom scrolling all day, so I've been playing more guitar lately. Oh, really? I like that. I've been jamming out in the office. Will you play a little bit again? There's someone that brings their dog to work every day and loves those.

Oh, no. All right. Those noises. They have the toys that make them. So just give just a little taste for him. There you go. There you go. Now that I know, he's like running a rock.

He's running around. He's got a whole thing. Sorry, dog on the text line. Your, uh, our apologies. Our apologies. That's so funny. That dog's definitely doing that head tilt. What?

What is that? What is that? Who is that? What is that? What is out there? The hell? Happy Whiskey Wednesday, everybody. We will be live tonight at 7 o'clock on Twitch.

Dot TV slash K-Rox C-N-Y. Get yourself something to drink. Popper liquor, wine, a Moonstrand, State for a Boulevard, and East Coast Emerald. There's a little recipes. or that you can make with the little French toast stuff. I saw that on the back of the bottle. Yeah.

Speaking of beverages, Sophie Rain paid $1,000 for the Starbucks Barista Cup. Oh, that was my favorite stripper, Sophie Rain. She is an only fan's model, so you probably could go look at her, but if you wanted to. Sorry, how much does she pay again? A thousand bucks. Wow. The limited edition, Bear-shaped Tumblr, and I complained about this yesterday,

these poor Starbucks employees, they're just beaten. down. And now every day, they got to do something. Like, I, I think it's true. They only get, like, one or two of these stupid bear cups at their locations. Probably. So then they're gone. I'm watching all these TikToks of people, like, getting up at 2 o'clock in the morning to go sit in the parking lot of a Starbucks to wait for them to open.

And then they go buy the first one. Wow. For a cup. Like, it's a cop. It happens. They, they do it better than almost anybody with those, with the cups. People go nuts for the winter. Mm-hmm.

The Christmas cups or whatever? Those, remember the holiday collection? Pink Stanley or whatever that. That one that, when those came out, it's so weird. But they have, yeah, exactly. Yeah, they've got a lot of these places, like a Walmart and like Katie just said, Aldi posted, we have Bear Cup at home. And they have that.

It's just the honey bottle. It's a bear. No, but they've got that Bear Cup. Just the only thing that Starbucks has is, the bear is holding a Starbucks logo and his hat where mine says Grow Brewery. Yeah. There says Starbucks. Yeah. It's got a little green logo on it.

Yeah, I know. Like that's all that's different between these and the ones that are at a Walmart or an Aldi. Consumerism, bro, they got to have it. If you can't have it, I got to have it. That's so weird. She posted on her TikTok. I have $1,000 cash in my car I can give you for one of these cups.

She went to like 50 locations, I guess. Somebody agreed to sell it. The barista cup features a teddy bear wear. wearing a green knit hat with the Starbucks logo, eBay listings have them up to $1,200. Yep, there he is. And for what? For nobody to care about it in two months? She got it.

But yeah, I mean. Like, what do you get? All of this for a lot. What's the end game? Well, the end game usually, when a business does this, usually the end game is to then release an ass ton of them so you can make a ton of money. I feel like Starbucks doesn't ever do that part.

They just are like... They have manufactured scarcity and they hype it up and then... And then they go, hmm, see, told you should have gotten them and we told you to. And it works. Idiots are waiting in parking lots at 4 in the morning to get one. This lady's paying $1,000 for one. Yep. Yeah, no.

It's, I mean, it's not... It's a cup. It's glass, though, right? Do we know if it's glass? It's not plastic. Oh, I have no way. It better be glass. This thing better be at least a quality.

the item. Is the Starbucks barista cup glass or plastic? Exactly, Katie. It's going to be $3 at thrifty shopper. Wait until February when it's over. Glass. It's glass, yeah. It is glass. I at least like that a little more than it being plastic, but it's not swaying any of my thoughts on the matter. You know what I mean? I don't need one. If I thought the cup was cool at like a scale of 1 to 10, it was like a 2 or a 3, now it's like a five. Because that's a nice little glass thing,

but it's not, it's a mason jar now. Yeah. I have that mason jar at home with a lid with a straw through it. You can get those. You can get those. And it seems, I agree with us, it'd be hard to clean because it's got so many nooks and crannies in there. And you know what's going to happen is someone's going to think that.

And then be like, just put it through the dishwasher. And it's going to just rinse off and spray off all of the, all the Starbucks logos, the bear's hat or the thing. green. It's just going to be a clear hat now. Does it fit in cup holders in your car? Not a chance. Can you even drive with it? Not a chance.

I bet. Listen, whatever. It's stupid. If you stumble across one and resell it on eBay, make some scratch. Yeah, for real. Some money out there for it. But the bills will make you dance right here on K-Rock. Your home for... Enough!

Buffalo Bill's football right here. You can get out the Mastro Vito Hyundai Bills. Boss, they're heading out to... Eagles at Bills coming up in December. Cover the driving, the tolls, the gas, the parking. You just got to have tickets to the game and we'll do the rest of the traveling. Go to Kairrock.com for tickets and information right there. Boom.

Bam. Stepping up a notch. Topical. Amarola Gatsy. Boom. Got on. Got them. Let's talk French fries.

I love French fries. You guys know that. As the takeout did a head-to-head and used a service. Certain criteria to find the best and the worst. We always talk about the best, but they found some of the worst fast food French fries. Okay. All right. Because I will tell you, and this is my, I've eaten a lot of places in Central New York.

And I will tell you right now where the best French fries are in Central New York. Can you guess where I'm going to say? Trying to think. I don't know. That's where your boy got six patties over the Q's. Oh, is it? You think so? Best French fries in the area over the Q's deli. All right.

Mark my words. They're the good fries. They're the ones that are super crispy on the outside. I like a good, they can be from anywhere, but I call them like the Little League Concession Stand Fry. You know what I'm talking about? Is it a crinkle cut? No, just the regular, you know what I mean, like a hot ass.

It looks like a crinkle cut, but no crinkle. Okay. You just get it like a beacon skiff. I know you're saying then, yeah. I mean, add an apple orchard or something. Almost steak fries, but not steak fries. Okay. Those have been slapping.

Do you like your boardwalk fries up at Enchant Forest? I mean, that's my favorite fry. Do you like skin on or skin off? I prefer you don't, but if there's some, that just means that you're doing fresh taters. I can live with some skin. I mean, unless you're talking, the Wendy's, in which case, go back to your old fries. Oh. Remember from back?

They did have, yeah, I like their old fries, way better than the new ones. The sea salt with like the skin on them. I don't like the new Wendy's fries. come up in this list, so hold that thought. Uh-oh. They analyze things like the crispy exterior, contrasting a soft and fluffy interior, which I agree, that's a good methodology.

That's how I describe Josh to people when they ask me. Like, how, let's describe him, and I don't know if you can or quick. That is a pretty good definition to me. I have a crispy exterior with a soft and fluffy interior. I like to think that I'm a sweet person on the inside, but I don't want to ever have to, I don't want anyone to know me close enough together.

get on the inside of me. And sometimes you smell like ketchup. And sometimes I do smell like ketchup. Or gravy fries, too. Sometimes I get that flavor. There you go. For many, they say that this is the ideal contrast in a French fry. Yeah. It's that crispy outside. Agreed. With that fluffy interior, especially those smiley fries, they're like mashed potatoes deep fried. Yeah. That's the contrast. Yep. So when it comes to fast food, not all French fries measure up. So let's break down the best and the Worst, as finally we get to celebrate one of their favorite fries, ShakeShack. Yeah, I've heard that they've got a good fry. The restaurant serves a crinkle cut fry.

All right, that turns a lot of people off. Quote, because these grooves and cuts, there's more surface area of the fry. When we fry it, it gets crunchier and crispier than most fries out there on the market. I can get down with that. Every time I drive by, though, there's still wicked packed, so I'm not. Are they really? It's much as the negative reviews from the negative nancy's. Bad fries?

I've heard they have good fries, so I would try them. Raising Cains gets a bad review on the takeout. Didn't you not really? We went? Was that the place? When we were in Vegas, me and the family wanted to try Raising Cain to hear all about raising canes. Pauls Malone telling you about Raising Cains.

Yeah. And I'm not ashamed to say it's mid. It's just the chicken is mid. Fries weren't anything good. Where were they? Are they crinkle too? The Raising Cains, fries are also crinkle-cut fries. The restaurants, French fries don't live up to the high standard set by its chicken.

I think it's mid-chicken. It's mid-chicken. Yeah, you said it was just like a tender we could get here. It's worse than a tender than get here. It was like frozen, though, right? I again preach the amazing food area we live in that is central New York. Yeah. We have it so good right here.

I've done the research, folks. He's eating the fries. I've gone all the places. Another bad fry. It doesn't impact us because we don't have in-and-out burgers, but in-and-out burgers are freshly cut, never frozen, cooked in sunflower oil. Everybody loves the burgers,

but the fries are almost universally acknowledged as garbage. Okay. Yeah, just fried in the beef tallow. But what hits the high? McDonald's fries. I mean, you get a hot... You get a hot McDonald's pie with that crisp, dude. Just correctly salted.

Not over salted, not under salted. Yep. Oh, good. I got to ask Cody on that. Golden Spike and East Syracuse fries coming in on the Texas line. Have you had their fries or just their chicken? Oh, no, those are good. Yep, those are good.

I've had their fries. The tenders are, obviously. The tenders are top notch. But, yeah, their fries are, yeah, they're better than, I would say, just a regular old average one. And I think what McDonald's gets with French fries is they're consistently the same fries. You rarely get a wildly different set of fries at McDonald's, right? Yeah.

I always know what I'm going to get there. The problem is it's you never know what you're going to get, though. What do you mean? With McDonald's fries, at least with some of these when you're talking about consistency. Yeah, you're going to get the same fries, but the way you serve them is not always the same. Yeah, you never know. That's the issue. Cody and I both dislike the Wendy's fries, but this article, the takeout.

They're not bad, but I liked their older ones a little bit. They're praised for their thicker-sized, crisper texture, starchy coating, ousting McDonald's thinner fries. I like the thinner fries in that case. Yeah, I like the McDonald's ones. But you also drink them. You drink them. Going back to Over the Cues, I like their fries so much, I touch them with my fingers.

That's how he knows that you know they're good. I touch them with my fingers. That's how you know that Josh likes you, he touches you with his finger. Also getting some high rankings. They said Culver's is bad. I've never had Culver's. I've got of Wisconsin and stuff. Don't know them.

Burger King getting high praise on their fries. When they're good, they are also very good. But when they're cold, they turn to just. They feature a slightly thicker cut than McDonald's. You can't go wrong with their French fries. They're always tasting fresh. But like you said, sometimes. Not always, but sometimes.

Yeah. No. Getting a real bad ranking on this list. Johnny Rockets. I haven't eaten to Johnny Rockets in a long time. I used to love that place. The only problem is, I hope you don't have anything else to do for the rest of the day. Why is it all day? Well, you have to go home and change, but that doesn't matter because you are still going to smell like Johnny Rockets for the entire day. Yeah, that's kind of any diner. But there, for some reason, it's insane. I don't know what they do. And then, making the highest rating, and I hope they're not a sponsor.

Because I also think that five guys is mid. Oh, I love them. I don't like their fries. Their burgers are way too expensive now. No, they're expensive, but I do like their fries. But that is their gimmick, right? You walk in, and there's the potatoes, and there's the oil. Yeah.

And I still had one of my favorite moments from when that guy thought that I had to wait too long. What do you mean? He thought that I was waiting too long for my food, the Five Guys employee. So when he made the eye contact with me when he was doing the, hey. Mm-hmm. He's just dumping. And you just filled your bag with fries. Oh, all right, great.

But it was the most, it was the most fries ever. It had to have been at least three or four large fries in my bag. Five guys describes their French fries as bliss in a bag. The little morsels of goodness are double-fried in cholesterol-free peanut oil. We'll make some crisper on the outside and delicious on the inside. Yeah. I get it. I just don't like their fries.

And the other thing with that is that, they charge so much for their what-nots. Yeah. But clearly it don't cost them too much for at least the taters. Because they're going ham. You're just giving them away. Yeah, I think that the price really sullies the meal for me.

Yeah, no, agree. When I just order a double cheeseburger and if $15, they get mad about it. I would get them all of the time. Mm-hmm. If it was a little bit better on the wallet.

Because, again, yes, you are good, but you also aren't any bigger than a McDonald's double cheeseburger or whatever. You know what I mean? Like if you were like a restaurant size. Now do they pay well? Because if that money's going to the employees, everybody's getting paid well,

then I guess I got a bitch about it. But I hope that they pay well at least to charge me that much for a burger. Bowen asking that my youngest has a peanut allergy. We don't know, Bowen. Can you have five guys fries? We accidentally fed him Chick-fil-A once and he was fine. We didn't know until he was already done with his nuggets. that it says on the container, fried in peanut oil.

But I guess his allergist, and don't do this without talking to a doctor, his allergist said like, yeah, I guess that's not enough peanut in the oil. But don't do that. Talk to your doctor. You just bootstrap it? Syracuse is asking, what about shoestring fries like copper top? You don't like those? But I also agree with her.

And then there was a couple people that did. They got to be popular because Coppertop sells them a bunch. I dislike them very much. I don't like thin, thin, thin, shoe-string fries. I dislike them very much. And where is this Kenzie's and Cicero? I won't try their fries. That's come in now.

People are saying Kenzie, yeah, a bunch of people saying Kenzies and Cicero. Where is that? I like a good fry. One of my favorites, and it's because I don't usually like a bunch of, like, stuff on my fries when I'm just getting fries would be Bull and Bear's garlic parm fry. Oh, good calls. You got a substitute. When you get your burger, you guys think, can I get the garlic parm fry instead?

Yeah, this article is primarily fast food, but if we're sitting, you know, like talking like local takeout or local, I mean, I guess over the queues would be mine because it's, you can get to go there. I would try it. Your mother says shoestring fries are garbage. Yeah, your mother. Oh. Wait, what? No, I agree. A couple of you saying skip the fries and go right to the onion rings.

I do like the Burger Kings doing this thing now where you're like, you don't want fries? You want chicken fries? You want onion rings? They give you a lot of options in the app. That's cool. But no, onion rings, no. No, I don't like onion rings. No, no, no.

Wegmans lights on the lake. Less than a week away. Never go past to mouth. Never go past to the mouth. Now I'm excited. They're telling you about the walks and the runs. Because some snow beginning of next week looks like to start a couple of the charity nights hopefully. What a perfect vibe.

As much as I've been bitching about the snow, it does add a whole vibe to our Wegman's lights on the lake. So let's break down what we can look forward to. First of all, you can sit in your break. breaking it down. You can save money right now by using the code LOL Santa when you purchase your tickets. Lull Santa. Get $5 off using that code. And as you know, light on the lake is by the vehicle. So get like five people in your car. Boom. There you go. Split the cost. Five to 10, Monday through Sunday. CNY's number one holiday tradition, a two-mile drive-through over at

Onondaga Lake Park. Some of you may be going to work today or earlier. see those lights turned on, do not look at them. Look at the road. Avert your eyes. No, I'll say it's just basically stealing from charity. I mean, you're stealing. You're just literally stealing. That's okay, though.

Don't look across that lake. Not now. It's closed. Happy holidays. It's closed. We are going to benefit a bunch of charities early next week. So what I like to tell people to do is get a couple of tickets. Like go for the charity week and then go back again closer to Christmas.

You have to. Well, you have to, honestly, I like to do a trifecta if I can. It's just harder. You got to go kind of now or before. Yeah. You know, a couple weeks, you know, like a month before to get you into the Christmas mood. Because it's not really snow on the ground, usually. And then real close to Christmas, you go again.

And then like a week or so after when you're like, ooh. Oh, when you're lopie, okay. Then you go a third time to close out the season. Mr. Crabs likes hearing that. Yeah. You had to go three times. Yeah, three times. It's three times.

It's three times. I asked boss lady for... Oh, yeah. So here's who we benefit. Charity night is Monday. Monday is 1117. All proceeds donated go to two local charities. And it's only five bucks to go those nights. So you're giving $5 to one of these charities.

And you're going to enjoy lights on the lake. Two great charities this year. 22 until there's no. more committed to ending suicide among veterans, military members, and first responders by breaking the stigma, raising awareness, providing peer support education, and community outreach, more info at 22 until there's none.net. So that's a great cause. There's a lot of our veterans and first responders deal with a lot of intrusive thoughts. And I like that they have those people to lean on when they need it. Also, we're going to be benefiting serious.

Syracuse Gros, pledging to build local capacity for urban agriculture and community gardening by providing programming, education, and resources to Syracuse residents interested in urban food cultivation. Head to SyracuseGros.org for info on that. So there you go. You're going to be giving back to two great charities on Monday. And then, of course, Tuesday night, Doggy Drive to, Coco and Elsa will be out there for sure. Yep.

I also likes it. All those proceeds that night are split up between Humane, CNY, and C. second chance canine adoption shelter. I know all of you are like, why don't you do the dog walk? Well, because people ruined it, but you can drive through with your dog. Yes. And benefit some dogs that need some love around the holidays. Yes.

And then military nights coming up on Wednesday, totally free for active duty or retired. Wegman's Lights on the Lake, presented by upstate Honda dealers and upstate Galasano Children's Hospital. And no, you can't just drive up and pay at the booth. However, you sort of kind of can because just while you are driving up, pay. Good point. That's not in my notes this year, but that is the truth. You've got to buy ahead of time at lightsonlake.com.

You can do it right on your phone. And if you're out there driving around and you think, hey, you want to go to lights? It takes two seconds to buy them on the phone. So just go ahead and do that. I'm probably going to offend with people. And I know that we have a lot of crossover listeners that listen to us, but also like country radio and then go listen to country. I get that.

I respect that. Careful what you say. I'll pour a drink on you. I know. But just goes to show that not all, but many country fans are just the easiest, dumbest people, man. I wasn't kidding you earlier when I told you to make a country album

because it'd be a cash grab because you could. It'd be a cash grab. You could just do it. It's what a lot of the people do. The number one country song right now, dude, is by AI. It's not even made by people. people. See, now that...

Doesn't that piss you off in, like, so many ways? Yeah, because they're still artists. You know what I mean? There's still musicians that don't deserve to have, you know, their things ripped away because AI. Like, it bissed me off for real musicians who are trying to break in. I have my own feelings about AI,

and I feel like it's gonna pop here eventually. Well, you see now that poor celebrities in Hollywood are being a, Now you're seeing a couple of them starting to voice out. Because now it's going to take away their jobs so they're mad about it. Or they're doing that where they're teaming up with AI. They're trying to get out ahead of it. There's a lot of like, what was the stat? I had a stat in front of me because today's a Lee Baldwin day.

Where the investment we have made into AI to get that return like every person with an iPhone would need to pay $5 a month. Like there's not going to be a return. All of these companies have spent all of this money in hopes of, and like it or not, firing a lot of people. A lot of corporations have spent a lot of money getting in the AI space because they're like,

I hope that I can fire a lot of people. And either they're finding out that they can't or they're finding out that AI's not as trustworthy. Or did a lot of these places, did they assume that people like a normal, just like me, would pay money for like a chat, GPT thing or like an AI service to make pictures and stuff. Did they, is that what a lot of them assumed?

Oh, these guys will spend $10 a month for services like these to do this stuff. Some of it, but there's not a muff money there. No, because I mean. You wouldn't. I'm not. So I didn't know if maybe that backfired on them and they thought everybody would want a chat GPT on their phone. I have a SORA account.

That was free. I have Mid Journey. I use Mid Journey, but that's $10 a month and I'm happy to pay for that. But you are. But I'm a tech savvy that get, yeah, that likes to, and you use it for work and stuff. I'm in the way fringe of people. That's what I mean. As opposed to me that is not going to buy, even at, you know, $1.99 a month.

Right. I'm not paying for an AI thing. And I think that it does have its uses. As someone who uses it. There are things that I like about AI that I can use in a creative space. know that Just Joe has been doing a lot of music where he'll use like there's an app now where you can help make like backing tracks and stuff. He's been doing that.

I think it's a tool. Yeah. Yes. There's a tool element to it. Like the guys at Timeless, they'll like to get inspiration for something. They can like type into chat, GBT. What would a dragon doing this look like? And then they draw.

And then that can help. Yes. And then that helps them. Yeah. I mean, yep. That stuff I'm down for. I like that Facebook or some of these other ones will make my dog into four. on pictures. That's fun. There is fun.

But that's for me. Is it worth a trillion dollars? No. There's no way we get back all the money we've put into this. And just because I still don't really understand it, but from what you hear with how much electricity and water and everything it's using, it's dangerous. It's a lot.

And I think a lot of it comes from big corporations who are excited to lay off a lot of people. And it's weird. Hence the major push and the excitement around it and it's cool. I think the backlash will happen on the other side of it when yeah people start losing their jobs but also people are like i don't want to watch an ai actress i don't want to but also i'm talking out my ass because i

could say well i don't want to listen to a i music well country listeners do because it's the number one song i i can't believe that the number one song in the u.s is walk my walk by breaking rust and it is so no pandering it's going to be And vanilla? How quick does a truck get mentioned driving through their country? Good bet. I wanted to listen to it live with you. I've got it queued up.

Start a timer on your phone to when they mention a truck. Okay. All right? I'm going to play it and I'll read you about it. This is the number one. This isn't a joke. This is the number one country song in the country right now. And it's made by AI.

You ready? Tell me when you're ready. Yep. Then be down. But I don't stay low. Got mud on my jeans. Still ready to go. Every scar's a story that I survived.

I've been through hell, but I'm still alive. They said, slow down, boy, don't go too fast. But I ain't never been one to live in the past. I keep moving forward, never looking back with a worn out hat and a seat. Six-string strength. You can kick rocks if you don't like how I talk. I'm going to keep on talking and walk my walk. Ain't changing my tone.

Ain't changing my song. I was born this way, been loud too long. Can I just say something? Good God. We'll kill the timer. It took 50 seconds. It was close enough with my muddy jeans and my six straight. You're not all tough guys who've been beaten down by the world.

and you're, I hate, I know, I hate this approach like, hey, that's just how I am. That's how I was born. That's how I was born. You don't like how I talk. You might just be unlikable. You might just be an a hole. That's a you. That's how I roll.

That's how I talk. A lot of people tell me that I'm a piece of trash. I'm beating down. Maybe you are. But it appeals to somebody, man. Maybe you're a piece of trash. Maybe you should be a better person. Maybe that's why.

Maybe you should be a better person. You're not old down. Trot and beaten by the world. I get it. Life sucks. It's hard out there. But it's never harder for anybody than a country boy. And they're taking, like, vocalists have soul and you feel soul.

And all they've done with this AI is they've lifted like a Chris Stapleton jelly roll. They went jelly roll mixed with Chris Stapleton, please. Kind of like, and they're doing the runs like, like, that has a great sound. Clap, clap, clap, stomp. And it would work if it was a person. person's voice, but you're not all beat down a print. Beat down, I got dirt out my dine, no, but, okay, dude, okay. Maybe wash them then.

Like, relax, we all hear about how hard you are. My style, you can roll your eyes, but I ain't slowing down. I was born to rise. So kick them rocks, if you don't like how I talk, I'm going to keep on talking and walk my wall. He's going to keep on talking and walk his walk, Josh. You cannot stop breaking rust from talking to their talk and walking their walk. It's not like, it's so, it's so meta and maybe too deep to even get into us, but the fact that this is manufactured country music says so much.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ending over just to please a crowd. If I fall down, I'll fall down proud. I'll talk my truth. I live my way. It's literally word salad.

Yeah. Just appealing to just the tough guy cowboys. Yeah. Yeah. That are not going to change who they are. That's, that was. I'm universally hated. Yep.

Okay. That's the worst part is that that's, I can see. Yep, I can see why that's number one. I can see why it's number one, man. This is where we're at. Like, everybody has to, like, they've got it the hardest, the toughest. You don't know their story. You don't know their plight.

And I'm not denying people got it bad. No, but the people that do that usually grew up in a extremely nice split-level house with the manicured grounds, you know, you're with rich parents. But you got some land. Your parents union some money. So that means you're a country boy. It's just weird that this is so pop, but it's not. I say that, but it's not. It's not.

It's not good. It's not. Anybody wants, if you want to be rich and you can sing like that, write songs like that because there's a huge audience for it. You would think that country music stars would be furious over this. Maybe they are. I don't know. I don't follow a lot of country music news.

But you would think they would be like, get this off, of wherever this is being played with the way that, you know what I mean? That. Yeah. You're playing that. What are you playing that for? Hey, you're talking about.

Why is everybody got to be so hard all of the time? Yeah. You've got to be fighting all of the time. You're so mad all of the time. I'm just angry. I'm going to tell you about it. This road's been rough, but I learned the trade is sweat, soul and dues I paid.

You can kick right. If you don't like how I talk I'm gonna keep on talking Oh this is the chorus This is the chorus Gotcha I ain't changing my tone I ain't changing my song

I was born This way Been loud too long And all this does Is it stops any introspection at all For a human To be like

No I'm not gonna grow Or change Or learn anything from my life I am I am And this is who I am And if you don't like it You're wrong

And this is shown Exactly why I am Correct Like that. You're wrong. Whatever you say, you're wrong. Because the Breaking Rust AI country song said,

I can walk my walk, I can talk my talk. Got dirt on my jeans and a corn cob stalk. Whatever the hell is. I don't know. What a bird, man. There's real musicians with real pain out there.

All they did is manufacture that exact feeling. That's why I assume that it's, the country world would have been angry about this. Maybe they are. Maybe they will. It's literally the most popular song in the country, and it doesn't have a single human on it. It's wild, man. Wild times.

I'm done bitching. 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. Whiskey Wednesday tonight at 7 o'clock on our Twitch channel. I'll be at my house. You'll be at your house. We all pour ourselves a little drink and have a little chit-chat watching music videos hang out. I'll be at one of your houses too.

I'll be in your home. You don't know it. The call will be coming from. Inside Your Home. Whiskey Wednesday presented by Liquor Wine and Moonshine, State Fair Boulevard, and East Coast Emeralds in North Syracuse. Trying to think what you can get from liquor wine and moonshine that would pair with it. French toast?

Yeah. They got a lot of good stuff over there. Because it doesn't necessarily. Like a maple whiskey, but I think this one has like a syrup taste to it. It might not even need to be a whiskey. I don't know what else you would combine it with, but you could combine it with. You could combine it with, I don't even know. I don't even know.

I got those yesterday, the Welch's ones that. You did? The mules, the mules that people were saying. Oh, yeah. I didn't like the watermelon mule. I don't like mules. I don't like the Moscow mule. I don't like those.

It tasted exactly like Welch's watermelon juice. 100%. I like the grape and the cranberry so far. The grape is perfect, so why would I drink anything else? Cranberry is second best. This one's got passion for mule too. We'll see. I told Tina to get this.

those, I said, you got to get on those Welch's drinks. People love them and they're not really easy to find around here. No, no. She's looking into those as well as tonight's French toast whiskey. Get some. So, Halloween night, a couple weeks ago now, right? Can we? Oh, I missed it.

Kids going around, knocking on doors. And you've counted these stories before where you, the parents are always like, what do you say? This boy had a different approach. Uh-oh. What do you say? Excuse me I farted You're killing me

I farted Which is yes buddy You're right You do say that Yeah What do you say Excuse me I'm

Killing me Okay Hey George up there Go with daddy No I mean he's right I like that he just keeps repeating Because he's like

I'm not wrong Yeah you say what I said excuse me I farted. I said it's, oh, the trick or treat thing. That's right. That's hilarious. It is a trick, Joe. It's a trick. Yeah, you said. You got trick or a treat. You got tricked. Joining us in studio, Kelly Tompkins from Blue Moon Yoga. Hello, Kelly. Now, I'm going to say something. Cody and I are always at a 10. We're very loud. We're very, a lot of energy in here. We're very tense. You just being in here for the last couple of minutes is already calming. You have a very calming vibe about you, Kelly, thank.

you. You're welcome. So let's talk about Blumen Yoga as you were kind of educating me on the different kinds of yoga you offer. First, I'll tell you where they're located. You know where Hides is? And then across the street, there's the halo tattoo right there in that triangle building. They're upstairs of that right there. So let's talk about the kinds of yoga that you offer over there to walk me through a couple of the things. So we offer classes from Krapalo Yoga, which is the yoga of compassion. It's a very heart-centered yoga class. So you're warm and fuzzy and filled with love by the time you leave. If you come to the Sunday morning class, you end class with a crystal sound bath.

So honestly, is that what the thing where they go around the balls? I like that sound. Your whole body vibrates. It's a peaceful sound. We have basically a beginner yoga. It's called foundational flow. teaches you the poses, the postures, figure it all out and see what you like and what you don't like. Okay.

We have Dharma Yoga, which is traditional yoga. Moves you through all the functions and gets your body moving the way it's meant to move. We also have Aravadic yoga, which is earth-based yoga. It's a class that changes with the seasons so that your body can build the heat it needs to build. Oh, that's good idea. Or you choose your body how to cool down if it needs to because it's summertime. We also have yin classes and vinyasa classes. One of those?

Yin is more for gentle movement and stretching. And then vinyasa is the flows that most people think of for warrior one, warrior two, forward poles. Sometimes they can be very flowery or they can be quicker pace. So you can slow them up and move them faster. So we try to keep our schedule moving in a flow of its own. So every day is not the same on our class schedule. I see that it's listed out by Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, all the other different day. And it kind of goes as an up and down flow based on what your body could need based on how the weekly schedule goes.

We don't need the same class structure every day of the week because every day is different. Mondays, most people really don't love Monday. and going back to work on Monday, right? Oh, yeah. And Sundays, a lot of people have the Sunday scary, so we try to tailor our class schedule for Sundays so that people can calm, go inward and relax before they start the work week on that day.

How long is a class generally? Our classes range from 60 to 75 minutes. Okay, so you're in there for a good chunk of time. Now, Cody and I, as we enter our 40s here, are finding that we probably should be stretching a lot more. I feel like we're not alone in that. I got a lot of tight months. and cramps and all these things.

Is that something Yola would help with? Yoga definitely will help with it. Yeah, I need that. You also need to hydrate, too. So we offer a little tea shots. Yeah, tell me about the apothecary. You got the Blue Moon Apothecary right there. Yes, so the apothecary has been open for over three years.

Okay. And we offer over 40 different blends of organic, handcrafted proprietary tea blends that I create. Oh, and they all probably have a different purpose? They do. So to give everybody a taste of what we have in the shop, I do tea shots for after class. On the weekends, though, the students come over for a cup of tea. Okay.

So what we highlight is the Daily Special. Okay. So if people want to get started with you, is this like a gym membership thing? Is it a per class thing? How does it work? So we do offer drop-ins. So you can come in for $18 a class. Okay, that's great.

You can just walk in. We have loaner mats. Or you can sign up in advance. But right now, we're kicking off. off a Black Friday special. Yeah, tell me about that. Here we go. $99 a month, unlimited, 12-month membership.

Oh, wow. Any class you would like to attend, there are a couple exclusions. It does not include the special events that we host, like the Blue Moon Wellness Experience, or the sound baths, and, of course, our prenatal yoga class. That is a partnership we have with CNY Dulas. But any other class on our schedule, you can come to every class every day. And some days we have three classes a day. I just want to let you talk for a while because you're just relaxing me.

I feel like your classes would be good for people like me who are tense, tense individuals. And what's great too, and I know that, because I recorded your commercial, you get out of work, you're doing 6 p.m. classes if, like mom or dad wants to squeeze in a class on the way home before they go home. Yep. We even have 715 classes. Ooh, very nice. And those are the relaxing ones. So when you're done, you can just go home and go to bed. I like all of this.

All right. Blue moon dash yoga.com is the website. are right across from hides in that little flat iron looking building above a halo tattoo. You can check them out, see all their classes right there on their website, taking advantage of that Black Friday deal. Is that a one day only? Do I got to go win to sign up for that or what? We're running the special through Black Friday.

Through Black Friday. So go over there right now, $99 a month. Any class exclusions do apply. Kelly, I like your vibe. Thank you so much for being on out with us. We appreciate that. Thanks for having me. I have to get over there and do a class.

I think, Cody, stretch out a little bit. All right. A bunch of these things. Kelly, Tompkins, Blue, Moon. yoga, blue moon dash yoga.com. Thanks, Kelly. Thanks for having me. Wegman's Lights on the Lake.

Less than a week away, we're kicking it off on Monday. Head to Lightsonelake.com for information. Get your tickets now and save five bucks when you use code L-O-L-L-Santa. I think they're all changed over now. A little Santa. All-L-A-D lights now at this point. They started that process a couple years ago, which had to have been awful. Uh-huh.

Probably a big project. But the most, if not all an hour, probably, because that's, if you haven't been even just, I won a couple years ago, it's nothing different. That's not true. Whoever puts those up, is it the Anadai County workers? Shout out to the workers. Yep. Did a great job this year. You got all those up real fast.

I was going down. I forget what road is it long, the road that goes in front of Long Branch Park. I was driving that way yesterday. Yeah. And I got to see the little snowman thanking me for coming a light on the leg. I said, I'll see you soon, Snowman. Bye, snowman. Bye, snowman.

Hope you find your dad. Sorry, by snowman. But I really did say bye to the snowman. man, because I do. Right on the lights on the lake website is you could apply to those positions if you want. Oh, sick. That's sick, man. They did a great job.

They have all of them. They have the setup. You can help operate and you can help take down. And they go for a while. Can you dress as the gingerbread man and greet people as they come in? Bap, but wide range, it doesn't say, but isn't that? That used to be stupid dumb Zach. I was to say that.

Yeah, that was, isn't that more us? That might be us. We might have that or the county or something. But I'm just, no, thank God. We don't have to do that. Yeah. We could put code. in the gingerbread costume and he can stand out there.

I don't know what it was, but that one night we did for the dog thing was the coldest I ever was. That was the coldest night ever. I was wearing like eight layers and socks and boots, but for some reason, man, it was so weird. Trust me, you rather drive through with your dog than walk it. Although I wasn't there for the New Year's Eve night.

I heard that was worse. For Hansen, that was colder. That's an event that I'm so glad went away. Yeah. Let's just put up a tent. Hang on outside in the snow. And it's like negative 30. Can we not, though?

Oh, my God. Hansen did a great job. Yeah. Yeah. But first, let's get through Thanksgiving, shall we? As maybe you're looking to get into a Thanksgiving vibe. Well, here's some of the movies you can watch. Oh, okay.

Now, when you think of a Thanksgiving movie, what do you think of? I got one. I got nothing. I have Charlie, it's funny you say that. I was just thinking that the other day because there was, you know, Hulu and all them have the Christmas movies, blah, blah, blah. But Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is really all I got. That made the list?

Then Thanksgiving episodes of... Of TV shows? Yeah, insert, whatever. Planes, trains, and automobiles is mine. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they're trying to get home for Thanksgiving. Yes.

And it's that wintery weather. That's the only one I ever think of. Well, they made a list here of other ones. All right, what's the other ones then? Ninety-19. What? The Garfield Thanksgiving. That's my fault.

Oh, that didn't even make the list. Was that a movie or show? 30 minutes? It was almost like a little specials, yeah. All right. A couple is I don't know because they're from like 1925's The Gold Rush. I don't know that. It's a silent movie with Charlie Chaplin.

Oh, yeah. I don't know that. 1995's Home for the holidays. What's that? Home for the holidays. Do I know who's in that movie? Holly Hunter, Bob Downey Jr. and Bankroff. Hey, Bobby Downey, Jr. Okay.

Why? I don't know. Teenage daughter Ops out of Thanksgiving Cindy and mother Claudia Loss at Larson travels alone to her childhood home for an explosive holiday.

Okay. All right, standard plot. No, thank you. 2002 Spider-Man is a Thanksgiving movie? Does they do Thanksgiving in it? I was going to say, I can't remember all of them enough, but I guess it would be right, because it was, I think, do they do a Thanksgiving in it?

Yeah. All right. Sam Ramey's Spider-Man is a person. Thanksgiving dinner. Peter Parker is late to Thanksgiving dinner in one scene. Yeah. Okay. I mean, all right. If you want to watch that? See, here's my issue, though, what? With things, with these movies, because it's going to do that, it's going to be the diehard thing. Where it's just one scene justifies it. Just because it's Thanksgiving time or its Christmas time does not make it a Christmas movie or a Thanksgiving movie. Sure. And I agree with Cody on that because there's a certain vibe that,

that has to take over a movie for me to justify it as a Christmas movie. I'm not one of these guys that's going to debate die-hearted. No, no, no. Because it's not, so I'm not going to debate it with you. It's over now. I can't, even though even though I think it is, Bruce Willis said it at the end of his row, said it's not. So I can't.

Bruce Willis is saying it, even if he was joking. To Cody's point, just joking. What he is saying is, just because a movie has a scene that takes place in a thing, Yeah. Doesn't mean it's that thing. Doesn't mean it's the Thanksgiving movie. Now, you could say, Josh, you just said planes, trains and automobiles at Thanksgiving movie.

Yeah, but the whole goal is family and the whole vibe is getting home to your family. Yeah, that one is setting around it. Yeah. But the. Just because diehard has a guy has like a Christmas tree up in the lobby somewhere. It doesn't make it a Christmas movie. Right. But, eh.

Number one, Thanksgiving movie, according to this list. Who made this? Mental floss. Adams Family Values, 1993. Remember the scene? Yeah. I mean, I guess. So glad we invited the Chip was to join us for this holiday meal.

Remember, these savages are our guests. We must not be surprised at any of their strange customs. After all, they have not had our advantages. I love Adam's family. As fine schools, libraries full of books, shampoo shampoo how

I am Pocahontas a Chippewa maiden An Indian Enough said And I am running bear Betroth to Pocahontas In the play In the play

20 grand for summer camp He's Mr. Woo-woo We have brought a special gift For this holiday feast Hogsley I love it I am a jerk What a

thoughtful gift. Are as civilized as we, except we wear shoes and have last names. Thank you what's going on. Wednesday. You have taken the land which is rightfully ours. Years from now, my people will be forced to live in mobile homes, on reservations. Your people will wear cardigans and drink high balls. We will sell our bracelets by the road sides.

You will play golf and enjoy high-reservation. golf and enjoy hot hors d'oeuvres. My people will have pain and degradation. Your people will have stick shifts. The gods of my tribe have spoken. They have said, do not trust the pilgrims, especially Sarah Miller. Jerry, she's changing the word. And then the blonde bath happens.

They light all the set on fire. Adam's family values. Yep. Top Thanksgiving movie. I would say that planes' true. trains and automobiles beats it for me. But that's a great scene. Yep, that is good.

It's a great scene. I don't hate that one. People are saying Dutch with Ad O'Neill on the text line. I don't know what that is. Did I miss an Ad O'Neill movie? Well, I'm sure I missed plenty of Ad O'Neill movies, and the world wasn't exactly clamoring for M or Al Bundy. When you need comedy, you...

All right, hold on. What is the movie? Dutt. It was written by John Hughes. John Hughes is great music by Al Syvestri. That porn star? Dutch Dooley attends a ritzy party with his girlfriend. All right, so this is the whole plot.

What's the theme? What's the story? I've never seen it. On Thanksgiving Day, the family drives Dutch and Doyle to Natalie's home because it takes place on Thanksgiving Day and they have a Thanksgiving feast. All right. Okay. Is that going to qualify as a Thanksgiving movie or just Thanksgiving adjacent?

That's the question. Really all takes. Whiskey Wednesday tonight at 7 o'clock on Twitch. Twitch. Shot TV slash K-Rox, C.Y. Come get yourself something to drink. Whiskey Wednesday, presented by Liquor Wine on Moonshine, State Fair Boulevard, and East Coast Emeralds in North Shurcoz. You should go full extra and turn that the French toast whiskey into some type of syrup and pour over a French toast. I love French toast. We both like French toast most.

That's the most bestest one of the three. More than waffles. French toast is number one. Yep. Agreed. Folks, it's a very important anniversary, and we would be amiss to not bring it up as 55 years ago today. Wow. They blew up that whale.

That was that long ago. Yeah, 1970. November 12th, 1970. Now, the news will obviously recount the story. This has been something we celebrate regularly here on the show. Because it's the best idea anybody's ever had. It's the best idea ever. A dead giant whale washed up on a beach in California.

And they're like, well, we can't move it. You want to blow it up. And then it went awry. So, let's watch the newscast from that day. Is somebody in the window? No, I just keep saying I never know, so I try not to look. Nah. Because they usually just stand there and stare at me.

Nah, there's no one in here. We don't know. Leobaldwin is next. Yep, good. I should get a little blind. I know. Then I just pull it down. I have it through the day.

Yep. And they can knock if they need us. If you want to jump in Twitch or YouTube, we're streaming in both right now, and you get to catch the newscast from that day. It had to be said. The Oregon State Highway Division not only had a whale of a problem. It had a stinking whale of a problem. What to do with one 45-foot, eight-ton whale, dead on arrival on the beach near Florence.

It had been so long since a whale had washed up in Lane County. Now, if you're just listening, this is a whale like the size of a school bus. Yes. It's a huge whale. It's a big, nasty decaying. Just, you know, when you eat, like, imagine, you know, when you, like, make chicken or something and you take it out of, like, the wrapper and throw the wrapper in the garbage. Just the next day. That smell?

Now imagine a dead whale out in the sun. Yeah, dude. Thousands of pounds of it. Yeah. Nobody could remember how to get rid of one. In selecting its battle plan, the highway division decided the carcass couldn't be buried because it might soon be uncovered. Oh, it couldn't be cut up. Because nobody wanted to cut it up and it couldn't be burned.

So dynamite it was some 20 cases or a half ton of it. The hope was that the long-dead Pacific gray whale would be almost disintegrated by the blast and that any small pieces still around after the explosion would be taken care of by seagulls and other scavengers. So their theory was, and honestly, you could have convinced me of this in 1970. I would have been like, oh yeah, I guess that makes sense if we blow it up, but it would just be vaporized. But also, they are banking on what?

A just a descent onto the beach from seagulls? Bears and pumas. Yeah. And predators will take care of the... What do you have? have an organ that's going to flock to the beaches. You got wolves? The wolves of Canada are going to come down.

Then you got wolves on your beach. You're going to do a move where you release all the gases at once. So that might even scare off some animals. But all right. All right. Happy 55th anniversary to the blowing up the whale incident. Yeah, me. Eagles had been standing nearby all day. As everything was being made ready, we asked George Thornton,

a highway engineer in charge of the project for his final option. What do you think, George? Well, I'm confident that it'll work. The only thing is we're not sure just exactly how much explosives it'll take to disintegrate this. No, you're not sure. So the scavengers, seagulls, and crabs and whatnot can clean it up. Is there any chance it might be more than a one-day job? If there's any large chunks left and we may have to do some other cleanup, possibly set another charge.

If he only knew... Primarily on the leeward side of the big mammal, so as most of the remains, be blown toward the sea. Now their theory is if they put it on this side, the land side or the way, would it leeward side or whatever? Yeah. And below it toward the ocean, problem solved.

Like everyone's saying in here, get a couple back hose. You all line up and you push it back into the water. I think they address that because... Is it not, is it too heavy for the tide to take it back out and it's just going to sit there? Well, not to get ahead of ourselves, but the remaining part of it, they can't really move it.

So it might be too heavy for a backhoe. Or it's too dead. Or squishy. It mushes. And you're pushing it and you just kind of drive into it. It's like that funny, if you ever seen that family guy seen or he's trying to use a forklift to push a whale, whale back into the water and he just keeps stabbing the whale heatedly.

Yeah. And then he tries to shake it off the forks. Someone might be that type deal. Texline says this sounds fake. That's the problem with everybody nowadays. It's real. And there's news footage of it. It didn't really happen.

This really happened. I promise you it's real. About 75 bystanders, most of them residents who had first found the whale to be an object of curiosity before they tired of its smell were moved back a quarter of a mile away. The sand dunes there were covered with spectators and land lubber newsmen shortly to become land blubber newsmen. With a blast blasted blubber beyond all believable bounds. Would you have gone to the whale blow up? Would you have gone to the whale explosion? I would have.

You do that. You tell me a. huge whatever rolls up on like one of the beaches here or something that we don't know how but somehow a whale made its way into lake ontario and it's washed up on Oswego I'm going up there for that yeah I would have to sell been there I would just like I want to go see that I'm going to have to go see that I want to go I would have been sitting right there I don't know if I out my car's the one that gets smashed by junk a junk of whale blumber here it is yeah absolutely well out of doubt 55 years ago today we blew up a whale in Oregon

here we go 10 nine eight seven six I like their Countdown. Five, four, three, two, one. Oh, boy. Listen carefully. All right, Fred. You can take your hands out of your ears. Here goes pieces of it.

Yep. Our cameras stopped rolling immediately after the blast. The humor of the entire situation suddenly gave way to a run for survival as huge chunks of whale blubber for everywhere. Pieces of meat passed high over our heads while others were falling at our feet. The dunes were rapidly evacuated, especially. The spectators escaped both the falling debris and the overwhelming smell. He did, and they blew it up. Everybody had to run for their lives because there was whale blubber flying all over the place.

Big fish stank. A parked car over a quarter of a mile from the blast site was the target of one large chunk. The passenger compartment literally smacked. Fortunately, no human was hit as badly as the car. However, everyone on the scene was covered with small particles of dead whale. Well, now that you're listening, if you're just listening, it flattened the roof of this car with a chunk, I don't know, probably a couple basketball size. Yeah, it was huge. One lucky goa had his car smash.

We now go do Cody Leasy. What happened to your car, son? Well, I don't know. It was about time. I couldn't really think of another way to have my car wrecked or broken into or lit on fire and stolen. And then the weirdest thing happened. somehow lit on fire too. We don't know how blubber landing on it, lit it on fire, but it did.

But it immediately just ignited into a ball of flame. It did. As for the success of the effort, well, the seagulls who were supposed to clean things up were nowhere in sight, either scared away by the explosion or kept away by the smell. That didn't really matter. The remaining chunks were of such a size that no respectable seagull would attempt to tackle anyway. As darkness began to set in, the highway crews were back on the beach, burying the remains, including

a large piece of the carcass, which never left the blast sight. Never left the blast sight. Oh, man. They just got to shove it back into the ocean, man. I think, well, I think they should, he said they might have to set off another charge. Just keep

blowing it up until it's gone. Pack that stanky fish gut up. Let's blow this bitch to Kingdom Come, let's go. Happy 55th anniversary. 55 years ago today. No respectable signal. No respectable signal.

What are even on top to tackle? Lee, Baldwin. Hi, Lee. Good morning, guys. How are you? Dollar Investmentclub.com. You sign up. You get in the game.

Get your hands dirty. Getting that game, pay yourself a bill. 100 bucks a month, 150 bucks a month, whatever you can find, and Lee takes care of the rest. What do we watch it? Lee, what's in the news? Pay yourself first.

Pay yourself first. Yes. What are we looking at? You said Dow 5, what? Dow 50,000. 50,000. Is that the first time it's ever happened? We're getting close to it.

Yeah, we're at an all-time record as of yesterday, as it looks like we're going to open up the government again this afternoon. So the Dow hit 10,000 back in 1999, for those keeping track at home, took 103 years, and then we had a little bit of a down after Y2K and all that. So hit 20,000 in 2017 and 30,000 and 20. 40,000 last year. It's just, it's, it's like, it's... Dumb it down for me. Why is it growing so fast now?

I mean, a lot of it gets down to, it's just the compounding effect. And that's the reason we're talking to people to get into the game because as your numbers, it takes forever to get to these bigger numbers. But once you're there, that's when really the quote unquote magic happens. And so we're seeing that. So it's been a good market so far. And so, but back in the day, and you, guys wouldn't remember that, but they had hats, ball caps, Dow 10,000.

Yeah, everybody at Wall Street was wearing them around, right? Unfortunately, you had a little, like, a bare mark up right after that. So everybody had to kind of give their hats back. Right, yeah. And so. Maybe it was a curse. Yeah, but I never looked back from then. And so it's just, so it's a round number that gets people to talk about it.

Maybe it doesn't mean anything, but you'll get to Dow 100,000 way faster and you got to, like, Dow. Well, Andy, if you think about it now, it doesn't. the, what do you always tell us? Like the top companies, they're all tech companies now, whereas back in the 90s, what were they? Oil, gas, stuff like that? Exactly, right? And more consumer staples, maybe autos, like, and so it's changed. So we're good or bad, it's, it's pretty dominated by tech, but tech's in this, you know, high stakes buildout that we are all watching closer that we talk about. We talk about it all time. I'm obsessed with the AI stuff and where we're going with it and if there's a bubble and if it's going to burst. But that's why you

diversify, right, Lee? You diversify. You try to invest around the world. You have a little bit of fixed income. Have your tech because that's where the money is, right? So that's, uh, so. It does feel like the same five companies are like moving money to each other a lot. Like it's back and forth. But if you're, if you're in a bigger game, right, Lee, we don't got to worry so much about that. And the bigger game and the companies that maybe aren't the ones, the headliners, they're probably going to benefit the most from AI as they can deal with costs and better productivity.

So exciting time in the market. We've got round numbers we're talking about and now we're heading into the holiday season where last year, I think Christmas spending was holiday spending was just under a trillion dollars. Okay. These are big numbers, right?

So everybody will keep their eyes on that. I certainly hope so I know consumer confidence is down a little bit right now. So hopefully we're coming out of that. people can have a nice holiday season. And we talk about that every year because it is important to the economy and so and to everyone's head, right? Yeah, absolutely. And by the way, I saw a good tip yesterday.

If you're a parent like me and you're like, I got to clear some of these toys out, you get all the stuff for Christmas and then you got to clear the house out. Clear the house out now. Put that stuff kind of into the thrifty shoppers and the goodwill so people can afford maybe some lightly worn toys. And then if you can afford new ones, you bring them in and you got that stuff clear out there. Dollar Investmentclub.com. Thanks, guys. You get in there, you play the games.
