Starting point is 00:00:00 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. Oh, beautiful, beautiful master. Happy Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:00:49 Oh, yeah, you're a beautiful bastard. Ow. Ow. Narnly driving this morning, folks. I'm sure I'm not breaking that news to you unless you're just waking up and we're letting you know. You're going to need some extra time. Woo! Lil slippy.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Very slick. A lot of schools, not a lot, but a good amount, delayed. Syracuse City closed. Yeah, it makes sense. Congratulations. Yeah, these city streets aren't very clear. No, they're bad. Usually there's like three different spots where I'm like,
Starting point is 00:01:19 all right, we'll be fine. And none of those. When I pulled out in the main road. He pulled out! Pull out, chance. Pull out, chance. When the main road wasn't cleared, and that's the road that, like,
Starting point is 00:01:31 the Onondaga County sheriffs are on, and that's always somehow magically, like, first. Hell yeah. So weird. And I don't mind because I benefit. But that wasn't even done. And went, I'm going to slide down that hill and die.
Starting point is 00:01:48 This is a nor'easter, I guess, is what I saw on the news last night. Oh, really? So that's what we're getting. This kind of went through the country. Like, are the Midwest got this? Oh, that's what that was? Yeah. Yeah, it was rough.
Starting point is 00:02:00 It was rough. That was that slip slide you were a couple times. Slip sliding away. I felt my whip kind of just turned. And I'm like, if we're going to go down the hill, I'd rather go down backwards. because I don't want to slam head first into a tree or telephone pole. He does not want to slam in the back of your Dragula.
Starting point is 00:02:18 He does not. No, no, no. I'd way rather just bash the back end. Dig through the ditches. Yeah. No, I was going about 45 on 690 all the way in today. So give yourself some time. I know, well, Mohawk Valley,
Starting point is 00:02:33 but like north of Mohawk Valley. And Tug Hill is getting it worse today. So I guess that Adirondack area and, uh, just east of the lake up there north of Oswego beginning it today. We're getting it here. We're getting it here. Unlike the pickup truck that came ripping up behind me before I got out onto the...
Starting point is 00:02:55 Physics don't matter to big guys and pickup trucks, dude. Well, I saw him and I was like, and I kind of was like, this isn't gonna... I mean, it might get a little whiplash, but I'm like, I'm about to get my vehicle paid for because he was coming in hot. Yeah. It's where over by follower, when you come on out of the main road, you know, it splits.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Like it's two lanes before you turn on to whatever the hell I should know by now I'll live there for five years. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. But I saw him coming and I went, here he comes. And you could see where his headlight, that one headlight, I was like, that's not over far enough. And then you can see him fish tail.
Starting point is 00:03:26 And I'm like, I just kind of braced for the impact and looked up and he was like, you know, he was next to me, but not the way he wanted. Everybody knows that big trucks, big lifted trucks with huge tires don't go off the road. That's why they can go full speed, you guys. No, it's crazy. Lots of two-hour delays. Like I said, some school's closed, so. Is it that crap, though, that they're trying to make kids do?
Starting point is 00:03:49 Well, they got to get online? No, we're not doing it online. Knock it off. Stop it. I mean, for the most part, you've got to tell the kids to pay attention, and yes, whatever the school, yes, you've got to just do it. But that one, I might tell my kid to be like, no, oh, you're sick today? Well, it's assuming quite a lot of privilege.
Starting point is 00:04:05 You're assuming that a kid's got a computer or their Chromebook at home, that they've got internet connection, that they've got a support system around them, that they don't have parents trying to figure out what to do with their kids. Or you have to go get dropped off at a before school program, because your parent has to leave her work at a set time. They can't wait two hours with you. Like it's not a thing for everybody. And they act like that teachers are the same where they have a two hour delay.
Starting point is 00:04:35 So it's, yeah. Well, we're just going to kick back then for these two hours. Yeah, like if my wife had a delay, but our kids don't. She still got to get our kids to school. Yeah, they have families. It just doesn't make sense. It's a stupid, stupid thing. Anywho, we're busy on a Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:04:51 You guys know that's. Oh, it'll be a beautiful night for Wegman's Lights on the Lake. I know a couple boys who went through Lights on the Lake yesterday. Oh, man. And do we have a story for you next hour? We'll tell you about involving a bus and a couple costumes. I'll tell you about that. That was fun.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Next hour, but this is a, I don't know if this is going to affect, I don't know if this was in this country or South Korea. Because I'm reading the article and I don't know which. Well, is it in English or South Korean? It's in English. Okay. Okay. Well, that's just one hint, though. South Korean authorities have arrested four suspects for hacking over 120,000 internet connected cameras to sell a legal.
Starting point is 00:05:39 sexual videos. Uh-oh. Police say the individuals worked separately to exploit passwords on IP cameras and houses and businesses. Creepy. They would then take footage
Starting point is 00:05:52 from Pilate Studios, private residences, gynecologist's office. Oh, come on, man. There wouldn't be a camera and a gynos inside the room. But like, there's...
Starting point is 00:06:03 So you wouldn't be seen, but Gene. What about like a computer? Just a computer that's, you know how it's just... Photos of it? Or just put like, you know how, like, say you're the lady and you're up in the stirrups or whatever the hell that thing is, and your giniest face and me. Yeah. And I'm doing the gini stuff. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:20 And I spin around and I'm like, like, chik, chik, chik, chik, chik, chik. Oh, then you hack the. I'm just like, check, let me see, because it looks terrible down there. Oh, my God, your giant is terrible tough. And then the computer, I don't know, I don't know. Do they do that move or like if you go to the dentist, they take photos? Like, I've only ever been to a dent, an orthodonist or a dermatologist as a kid. kid, and they'd always take photos like
Starting point is 00:06:41 your before and after. Do they do like before and after gianty photos? Just be like, one sec. Take a look at it, and then we'll see how that clears up. On sec, this one's for my records. Do you see them like zooming? You're like, hey, wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:06:55 One suspect hacked 63,000 cameras and created more than 500 videos earning roughly $12,000. That seems like not a lot of money to have that many videos. That's just so weird. man. They produced the videos on an illegal website last year. Additional people were arrested for purchasing or viewing the content.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Yeah, you ain't innocent either. So what is it? Do they just kind of like, all right, I've hacked your laptop. Now I sit and wait. Not even laptop. Like, just like, I'm sure that like most of our, like, ring doorbells are hackable, like your indoor camera, your Google Nest cams. Those are all connected to the internet.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Go back through. Unless you've got like peak security on your things, they're pretty hack. Like, and just from a nerdy standpoint, you might think, oh, I've got my cameras locked down, but you might not realize that while your thermostat is connected to the same network, so all they got to do is hack your thermostat and you're like, how would they hack my thermostat? And they do really nerdy things like that. That'd be so weird. If all of a sudden your house was like 100 degrees for no reason.
Starting point is 00:08:00 But they can use that as a back door into your cameras because now they're on your network. And now that they're on your network, they can figure out the cameras and they can just look inside your house. If they're looking at my house, they're seeing my naked ass letting the dog out at 5 o'clock in the morning. Just go! P! Go! Come on! I got to go to work! You see, this camera cuts to, because it's facing one way when you're standing at the door.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Yeah. And you just kind of see you from the top, done, kind of looking at your backside. Yeah. And then you're done, and it sees you, like, shuffling away with your butt. Yeah. Uh-huh. I always do cover my genitals when I walk around the house naked. I never know who's going to pop out.
Starting point is 00:08:36 I just kind of be the hand. That's over the front. You're better, that's a better idea than my dad. My dad never cared. He never did. No. He had Dad Dong out all the time. He just didn't care.
Starting point is 00:08:46 I don't want to be, I don't want that experience for my children. Like, oh, okay. I feel like Dad Dong was a quintessential, like 70s dad, 80s dad thing. Yeah. I don't want to bring that into this era. I don't want to be the dad with the dong out.
Starting point is 00:08:58 You know what I'm saying? No, I get it. Yep. So I just cover myself up. But I don't have an ass. I got a long back. So I just like a flat back with a crack in it. Which might be more harm.
Starting point is 00:09:07 If your kid comes out of the room and you're just standing there with your, and you're, it's just you with your hands over your genitals standing at the door and like, dad, and you're, huh? I'm cupping it. No one's awake when I'm awake. Katie says put clothes on in the chat. No one's awake. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:28 They're all upstairs. I'm fine. It's my house. Well, it's my wife's house. My wife's house. I'm allowed to be naked in it. I'm allowed to be naked in it. He's just fanny and I.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Twitch.TV slash K-Rock CMI. Stupid body parts. So gross. A gnarly drive today. Rob, slow down. Slow down, Robert. Everybody slow down out there. Man.
Starting point is 00:09:58 No, it is pretty gross out. So give yourself some extra time. Watch out. Few school delays, not as many as I'd expect, as it is pretty gross out. But a few, a couple closed. If, depending on the, the, the, well, you had before, if it wasn't too cold, you were probably all right. I think it was that it was so cold that, you know, the salt didn't work that they put down beforehand.
Starting point is 00:10:20 It's so cold. I was a... I was the back on. But yeah, that didn't work. So as soon as that hit, man, it was slick. Yeah, so be careful this morning. Give yourself some time, as yesterday was quite the day here in, I guess in Syracuse area media
Starting point is 00:10:43 as I was watching just the fallout on Q Sports Talk yesterday about the 3 and 9 season and all the people calling in and all the changes Fran made. If he doesn't, if it's parable next year, then you can start turning a little on him. But that's not a sports nerd way, but if you're like,
Starting point is 00:11:07 you got a fire his ass. You don't know. dingus about football. Thank you. That's what I was going to say. Even if, even for me, who doesn't know dingus about football, knows you gotta give a head coach.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Fire them. More than two years. Yes, he can't, it was a, yes, the backup quarterback thing is, well, what about everything else?
Starting point is 00:11:27 The backup quarterback thing. That's a bigger issue. It is, yeah, it is weird that it derailed everything. But again, not all his players and next year we're bringing in like
Starting point is 00:11:36 big recruits. Yeah. So, if, If it's, you know, doesn't show and prove what's next year, then you can start worrying about it. We can start with some of the firings. I don't know the teams, you know, coordinators, so I'll just read these off. He has released Ricky Brumfield, special teams coordinator, offensive line coach, Dale Williams, defensive backs coach Joe Schaefer, and co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, Robert Wright.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Can I ask you a stupid question? What do all these people do? What is the job? Honestly, it's the kind of while they're all off to practice running their separate drills, those are the guys that are leading it
Starting point is 00:12:20 and come up with, like, the coordinators themselves or, you know, come up with schemes and stuff like that. I mean, yeah, it's important, but I don't know, there's too much talent on that defense for that to have gone that bad. Okay, so you can point you point to that coach a little bit?
Starting point is 00:12:38 Yeah, there's just, there's something wrong. So head's got a roll. Can't be Fran. No. You can get rid of everyone else. I don't know. It's not the D coordinator himself, right? The co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, Robert Wright.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Yeah, that's fine. He can go. And the strangest news that we're all trying to wrap our head around is that while we released people yesterday, we signed a rapper, I guess. Yeah, I, that's very confusing. If anybody can help me pronounce Tusi, is that how I say this? Tunesi, the driving cat? Tunesis, the driving cat?
Starting point is 00:13:16 I'm not a youth. I'm an old man, so I'm not familiar with Tusi. No. He's a Syracuse born rapper. I'm excited, though. He moved, I guess he was born here and then moved to North Carolina at the age of 12. Okay. Where he played high school football.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Last year he decided, I'm changing history. I want to be the first multi-platinum recording artist to go back to school and play D1 football. I mean, next year I'm going to be on somebody's team. Mark my words. He went to Maryland to practice. He's been doing workouts at North Carolina. All right. What is he?
Starting point is 00:13:58 This. No. I don't know what position he played. Yeah, that's what I'm at. Oh, he was off and switchman, rapping and singing. Oh, wait, no, still doesn't answer me. I don't know what he plays in the football world, though. Looks like a cornerback.
Starting point is 00:14:15 I don't know how to find his high school record. It just seems like a weird. A wide receiver. Weird day to commit a rapper to the team of all days, you know? Or a perfect time with all the negatives. Yeah, all the negative whatnot surrounding the team. Perfect time to bring in the complete opposite, you know, diversion of
Starting point is 00:14:38 we've done terrible and we're firing people so we just signed a hot rapper he is a successful rapper like I'm not just saying like he is a multi-platinum award winning rapper born here
Starting point is 00:14:50 lifter Dillew is 12 that's awesome has 4.5 million followers on Instagram maybe he's a good he's only 25 yeah he's always 25 maybe he played great football he's been working out he's trying to do the thing yeah so I don't I don't hate the hustle he wants to do it
Starting point is 00:15:05 Fran must have saw something. With how old all these guys are now, that's not bad. And back in my day, I watched a, I believe, 27-year-old Chris Winky win the Heisman and lead my Seminoles to a national championship. All right. So there you go. His name was Chris Winky. You got, you know.
Starting point is 00:15:22 He didn't change his name from Chris Winky to anything but Chris Winky. Katie was a good point too. And might keep some players from leaving. If they go, I can play with Tusi? Yep. I can be at a team with Tusi. Two-seat? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Because he's not a guy who's going to go pro, but he wants to play a little college ball. And it's a big deal for kids to, like, be in his social media world. Hell yeah. That's, like, forget, yeah, playing with him, but, like, we're going to be in, like, you're going to hang out with a social media video. Yeah. He's going to beat your practices every day. He's going to beat your games every day.
Starting point is 00:15:56 You're going to travel with him. And it be kind of cool. Even if it is a little bit of a stunt, maybe, at this point, we went three and nine. And maybe he can show some of the football and basketball, players when he pulls up in a fancy car, what it's like to actually, like, work for a really, really expensive vehicle. That'll be a good thing for these kids to learn. Not just demand it with your nose in the air.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Be like, you see, I went out and made a music career. That's where I got my money. Now I'm playing football. What have you done? And not getting a ticket or two or three every single day. Every single day. What are you talking about? What do you point at?
Starting point is 00:16:27 Homer, two hour to line. Is it really? Homer, 200, oh boy, I would really like that to go side with. Guys, it is a busy week for Coco and myself. As, get this. Coming up on Friday, we're going to be at two different stewards locations. Yeah. As they are doing their annual holiday match campaign.
Starting point is 00:16:52 I'm excited. We're going to be out at a bunch of stewards here in the month of December. As they are, every penny they make or donated, they match. So if somebody donates a dollar, Stords will match it. That's their holiday match campaign. They're going to be doing that. They're going to do that at all their locations.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Cody and I will be at the stewards on Buckley Road from one to three. Okay. And then stewards on South Bay Road and Cicero. I stopped at that one a day early. 3.30 to 5.30. Okay, it is that one. I stopped at that one a day early before it opened. It used to be a little tiny like Mon Pod gas station with a terrible car wash
Starting point is 00:17:34 Oh, okay. But it was one of the first places I learned that certain car washes have to keep their pipes. They're running the water running. So you can get the free trickling sprays. But you don't have to do that at all. Take me down to Stews. The best. It just says Stewart's on Buckley Road, Joe.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Are there multiple ones on Buckley Road? I'll get you the exact address. But yeah, that. And I like going to those because I like mingling with people. You do? Yeah, just, I don't know, I like. Just being around people? That and not like, like, I like messing with them and having fun and like that old guy that
Starting point is 00:18:09 when you came up to the last one that I was already five minutes into messing with, remember Katie Cup. Oh, yes, that's right. He just, he starts whole, he does things for no audience. You don't know, I doesn't understand this. Yeah. He does, he goes through life entertaining himself. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Even if I'm not around, no one's there to observe it. he'll start things just to enjoy the moment himself. Yep. So come by and see us and... Oh, you'll be weird with you, I guess. They're just fun. I like mingling with the local folk. I think I am going to watch this docu-series came out.
Starting point is 00:18:48 I guess, did it start yesterday? Streaming today. Sean Combs, the reckoning. I was going to say, I saw that on, was it Netflix? Yeah. And then I went, I don't need an air. As I was saying that, it said producer Curtis Jackson, Fittie, and I'm like, oh, uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:19:09 I guess, I don't know why. He's going to drag him. Good. Does Fiddy, Fiddy, right? Yeah, I'm pretty sure they were the two. He's in a couple feuds of people, but I'm pretty sure that's another one that. I guess once, once P. Diddy's arrest and trial were looming, 50 Cent started following him with cameras.
Starting point is 00:19:31 And that's what this footage is. I guess it's like the ultimate troll, right? You're doing a documentary about the guy. We have to find somebody that'll work with us that has dealt in the dirtiest of dirty business. We're losing. Puffy, Puff Daddy, Ditty, Sean Coles, all of these re-incarnations. All those name changes are attached to really be. bad deeds.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Everything in life, you're going to have people that are bad and people that are good. You have to choose your side. I think you're bad. You're in jail right now. We've seen the footage. Are those pictures that come out with him real? So, I know what photo you're asking of. Do you have him in the cell playing video games?
Starting point is 00:20:23 Yes, no. No, no, that's Photoshop. But there were two videos leaked last week. Okay. One is him showing up for work at the library. And it's just kind of him, like, taking his coat off and, like, you see him put his earbuds in. Like, that was real. And then there's another footage that came out of him, like, just walking down a hallway and he's got, like, a gray beard and gray hair now.
Starting point is 00:20:44 You're talking about, yes, the ones of him playing video games or the one, like, holding ramen noodles, baby oil. Yeah. That's all AI. But there were, they're based on what he does look like now, which is he's got, like, gray hair and a great beard and all that. Well, good. He should get dragged. I hope it's, uh, what's the word? Damning, damning, damning?
Starting point is 00:21:02 Yeah, but what? What would be more damning than video of you violently assaulting a woman? If that doesn't turn people off to P. Diddy, I don't know what would. Like, what more could come out? I don't even know. If that didn't, if that wasn't enough. Like, that's enough for me to say you're a scumbag and I don't want to hear your music anymore. Not enough for a lot of people, but it's enough for me.
Starting point is 00:21:23 No, it's weird. I wish they would release Biggie music with Diddy removed. Can somebody do that? There's got to be a way. somebody would make an ass ton of money. There needs to be... If they were like, listen, I'm sorry, but we gotta re-release these.
Starting point is 00:21:41 I want biggie music, Sands P. Ditty. I want Mace music, Sands P. Ditty. You could have anybody else do it. The record company should just release it. Be like, hey, we know, this guy's a scumb bag. Or, I mean, you could, with technology, have, like, Snoop. Do it.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Or, I don't know anybody. You don't even anybody. Just have AI do it. Just have Biggie albums with just Biggie, please. Yeah, we don't need... I don't need P. Diddy in the background, saying stupid things. I don't need to have a P. Diddy verse. I want just my Biggie music back.
Starting point is 00:22:13 I want Mace back. I want all those bad boy artists that now I don't want to listen to because of him. Yeah, what's Mace doing? I feel like there have been a good time for him to come out and, like, do something, make some money, be like, look, I'm the good one. Well, unless you're not... Oh, no. You know, you never know who was at those parties, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:30 All right. I'm going to roll on the top of the... Other side of this, we're getting into a real, it's a big, big high strangeness. Like I got a lot of clips. Oh, okay, okay. Because I went on this deeper dive. She's thick?
Starting point is 00:22:46 I got a thick high strangeness. So. Noids. Yeah, the people love high strangeness, Cody. Everyone always jumps in. That's the last. They like the weird, the unexplained, the strange. It's the last.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Today's a big one. Today's going to take up a big chunk of time. It's a whole big story to tell, I guess. Okay. All right. I'm in. I'm excited. So let me take you back to how I started looking into this.
Starting point is 00:23:21 I'd never heard of this location. And Sundays at my house is Laundry Day. Okay. I don't really care about much football. I'll watch like the Bills game or whatever. That's a very dangerous day. Very dangerous day. Very dangerous type.
Starting point is 00:23:35 So I usually get up and I'll put down like. like, you know, a Discovery Channel or like a travel channel. Do the, you know, sort the laundry and watch them in and out or whatever. And they had this show on, that was the dumbest show. The show was dumb. About killer Bigfoot in Alaska. And the reason the show was dumb is these guys were all like overacting it. And they're doing that Bigfoot Griff that I don't love.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Yeah. But they were capitalizing on a really cool story once I started looking into it. it. Like these guys are like, someone's throwing giant rocks at us. It's like all that guy, right? Yes. And I'm like, what are they, what is the background of this killer big foot in Alaska? Well, I dove deeper into it. And it is the town of Portlock, Alaska.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Okay. So today's high strangeness, I tell you the story of Portlock, Alaska, which is crazy. Okay? Some of the things you're going to hear in this video, and I'll post the whole video. It's like a 22-minute video. I edited it down. for shorter, obviously for us, but some of the things in this video you can find proof
Starting point is 00:24:43 of. It's going to sound wild, but like there's stories in like local publications from back in the turn of the century, 1900s documenting this stuff. So let me take you back. In 1785, Captain Nathaniel Portlock
Starting point is 00:25:00 landed on a secluded blay in the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska. While surveying, they found remnants of of an abandoned native village. Nobody could fathom why this indigenous village was abandoned. There was plentiful game,
Starting point is 00:25:19 shellfish, it was a prime area, and Nathaniel Porlock couldn't figure out, well, why would these people leave? This is a great plot of land. They set up, his, I guess, party, like his party who was on the ship with him, all started to fall sick,
Starting point is 00:25:37 They all started to feel uneasy. They were things that were like kind of going bump in the night. They weren't feeling well. There was weird vibrations happen. And eventually they left too because it was just so unsettling on this plot of land. Yeah. So when they left, nobody knew what was going on because it was the 1700s. Where I'm going to pick you up here is 80 years later when another group moves to Portlock.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Okay. I don't like Alaska I don't like this I don't like where this is going I'm hopeful the video will work guys if not the audio will and you can just listen to it you gotta mirror it for more than 80 years
Starting point is 00:26:18 portlock remained a ghost town then in 1867 a community of nomadic Sugpiyak set up camp in the bay of what is modern day portlock they were grateful for all the food they could easily access in the area
Starting point is 00:26:33 plenty of large clams and easy to catch fish moose, which the natives had hunted for thousands of years, if they settled there, they would never be without food. So they settled and they celebrated, but not for long. Within a month, the Sukpiyak settlers were attacked, but the attackers didn't want their fish or food. The attackers wanted them. The Sukpiyak described the attackers as cannibal giants who began raiding their village. Sometimes the raids would happen every night, and the giants displayed animalistic savagery that the Sukpiyak had never encountered before. Initially, the natives fought to keep their new home, but the attacks kept happening. Whenever there was more game to hunt in the forest, the giants would stop attacking.
Starting point is 00:27:20 But just as the villagers thought the danger was no more, the giants would return, seeking human flesh. Whenever there were fewer animals to hunt in the forest, the giants started attacking the village more frequently. So it's not surprising that the Sukpiyak left the village. But they took with them stories of the man-eating giants and their horrifying raids. This happened in 1905, after which Portlock would remain abandoned until 1921 when a nomandic community of Russian Alutic tried to settle the bay. So now this is the third group of people. Yeah. The third group said, all right, we're going to make our village here. They started reporting that these giants would come down from the woods,
Starting point is 00:28:07 kill them, eat them. Which they obviously didn't hear about when they settled there from the, you know, some of the rumors from the... No, they're the first people to start reporting on it. Because Nathaniel Portlock comes back in the 1700s. He's like, I don't know, it was weird, a lot of weird stuff going on. But there's not a lot of documentation. The third group goes there.
Starting point is 00:28:25 They're like, all right, what are all these things, these giant cannibals coming down from the Alaskan wilderness, they eventually abandoned it. There are still cabins there from that settlement. Oh, really? Oh, geez. Now we're on to the fourth settlement. Now we're into the old times,
Starting point is 00:28:42 the years when Joshua's was born. Yes, 1921. So now you're going to have to like actual documentation starting. But unlike the previous settlers, the Aleutic brought 20th century industry with them. They set up a cannery to process salmon, which was abundant and easy to catch. in the area. They also built a post office and a school alongside other institutions to turn
Starting point is 00:29:05 portlock into a 20th century town. But Portlock was no ordinary town. The Aleutik shared ancestry with the Sukpiak, who had fled the area 16 years ago, so they had heard the stories about the raids from what the Sugpiak called the Nantanak. According to some translations, it means half man, half beast. And according to others, Nantanenna. K'nok translates to, giant hairy thing. Whatever it was, the Aleutic did not want to come across it, so they quickly implemented strict rules, starting with a curfew at night. They also had armed guards to protect the schools and the cannery,
Starting point is 00:29:46 and guards who would even patrol the streets, which is perhaps the reason why the town was pretty safe, at least initially. Or perhaps it was safe for another reason. The Aleutic never ever went out in the fog or the fog, forest. They had heard the stories of what lurked in the forest, and they did not want to disturb it. During foggy days, they could hear the Nantanak prowling the town's streets, but since no one was outside, it would leave without incident. The rules helped the Aleutic survive in an area where no one before them could, and the town thrived without incident for about a decade.
Starting point is 00:30:23 All right, if you're just tuning in, this is the story of what they now call the killer Bigfoot of Alaska. Yeah. And I wanted to dive deeper into it because I didn't understand what they were talking about. It sounds kind of like the village. We're like, don't go out of night, don't go in the woods, whatever. Yeah. You're just tuning in.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Let me get you caught up. Nathaniel Portlock shows up there in the late 1700s, discovers there's an indigenous settlement that's been abandoned. They don't know why. His crew starts to turn sick. They don't report any evidence of like these, you know, cannibals in the woods. but they're like this, I don't feel good. There's weird vibrations.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Maybe they were attacked. We don't know. But they're like, we got to get out of here. So they're the second ones. They're like, we got to get out of Portlock. It's named after the thing of Portlock, obviously. Then a bunch of a tribe, I guess, essentially, of just nomadic people shows up. That's the third attempt to settle in Portlock.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Ah, we got this. They start settling. They're getting like cabins up or whatever, but they're still not having a great time. They're reporting things in the woods That'll come down and eat them when they're hungry I don't think that's fun They're not having the best time They're being eaten
Starting point is 00:31:38 They're being eaten by woodland big feet Yeah, but giant mammal is eaten them So they're not having the best time right now Eventually they're like we gotta get out of here We got scramed They're the third group of settlers They get the hell out of poor law All right well
Starting point is 00:31:51 Now Shama fool me once Fool me once Fool me three times Now we're on to the fourth settlement. And they seem to have figured it out. They think they figured it out. And this is all documented in like old newspapers because it was the 1920s.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Yeah. They're in Port La Calaques, Alaska. They're like, all right, we got a post office, we got a school, we got our industry, a couple of rules. Nobody's going out at night because we hear these things come out at night. Nobody goes in the woods because when you go in the woods, that's when they find you. They would all hide inside. They'd have guards. Well, then someone's got to go out in the woods, don't they, Cody?
Starting point is 00:32:26 Someone out in the woods. Someone's always got to go out in the woods. Someone's about to be eaten. By 1930, the Aleutic community had grown bigger and was more successful, so they started getting overconfident. They let their guard down and got lax with their rules. And just a year later, they would realize why that was a mistake. In 1931, a logger named Andrew Kamluck went into the forest to chop down a tree.
Starting point is 00:32:54 Previously, all logging work was limited to the edge of the forest. But Kamluck had gone deeper, and when he did not return, his friends formed a search party and followed his footsteps. They found Kamluck, but not in the condition they hoped. The logger's head was caved in with the log-moving sled, which was obviously too heavy for any human to lift. Comluck's dogs, who had been dragging the sled, were found torn to shred. and the sled itself seemed to have been flung far away from Kamluck and his dogs.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Kamluck's friends were terrified, and rightly so, because they didn't even know what to think of what they had witnessed, and for a while nobody knew what to make of it, until one fateful day. Another resident, Tom Larson, went to chop wood for fish traps, and that's when he saw a large, terrifying, hairy creature on the beach. It was standing like a human, but was too large and furry to be one. For some strange reason, Larson ran home and returned with a rifle. He had the creature in his sights, ready to pull the trigger. The creature turned around and stared at him.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Despite his finger on the trigger, Larson could not explain why he never fired. But his account helped others understand what happened to Kamluck. The Aleutik weren't surprised by the existence of a large, humanoid creature. What concerned them was how bold the creature was getting. Not only was it venturing out in the open, but it was also targeting humans. Soon after Kamluck's body was discovered, more portlock residents started disappearing. It seemed like Kamluck had agitated something in the forest. First, a few gold prospectors vanished, but people assumed they were on extended prospecting trips. Then, a group of hunters disappeared.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Again, people dismissed it as an extended hunting trip, but a clear pattern was emerging. Each disappearance was getting a little closer to the town. It would seem like something was moving in on the Aleutic, but the people did not attribute the disappearances to the Nantanak, until bodies started turning up. Some bodies would wash up in the bay with claw and bite marks. Others would be mauled beyond recognition. The Aleutic were terrified and went back to their original. rules, but nothing would stop the creature that had developed a liking for human flesh.
Starting point is 00:35:28 So now this creature that we now know is the killer Bigfoot of Alaska, however discovery is penned it, you've got this fourth settlement. They're like, all right, they're not having a good time now. Everybody goes in the woods seems to get mauled or killed or just totally disappeared. Nobody goes in the woods. Everybody stays right here. And it gets to a point where now they got to leave. They're like, we got to leave Portlock.
Starting point is 00:35:53 They're going to be the fourth group of people to leave Portlock because of whatever is in the woods coming down. I don't know why this Bigfoot seems to crave human flesh. Because it doesn't know. Once you get the taste for it and they're easy, they're right there. They're just standing there. It's a buffet. Just standing there.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Just standing there waiting. I know it's a long, high strangeness today, but it was a big one because I wanted to know the story of Portlock. While most Aleutic had started attributing the deaths to the Nantanak, some skeptics still assumed that the attacker could be a very intelligent bear. Then, one day, they found a body that would turn even the most skeptical Aleutic into firm believers of the Nantanak. The body seemed to have been swept down the mountain by spring rains. It was torn and dismembered in a way no bear was capable of. The Aleutics started getting stricter about going out and started posting more guards,
Starting point is 00:36:54 but nothing could stop the force of nature that was snatching and mauling residents. Up to three dozen bodies had turned up along trails, rivers, and in the bay, all grossly mangled beyond recognition. And many bodies never turned up. People would go missing and stay missing. According to official reports, 15 people were reported missing during this time. The Aleutic disagree and say that the number is far higher. They also emphasize that the way the bodies were mutilated
Starting point is 00:37:26 was unlike anything a bear or a wolf could or would do. At one point, the cannery workers collectively refused to come to work. They said that they were scared of whatever was prowling in the woods. They were begged to return the following season with promises of around-the-clock protection from armored guards. The Aleutic tried their best, to continue living in Portlock, but the death toll just kept rising.
Starting point is 00:37:53 So eventually, they left. But the way they left was pretty strange. So now they got to leave Portlock. And they're going to do it in a way where they're going to try to outsmart whatever this thing is. Because they're like, it's kind of intelligent. It's hunting humans. Yeah, they don't want to follow them where are going.
Starting point is 00:38:13 Yeah, exactly. They're like, they're hunting humans, whatever these creatures or multiple creatures are, they're hunting humans, we got to get out of Portlock. They do it overnight all at once. They all leave Portlock,
Starting point is 00:38:28 but they leave one guy behind. Aw. In 1950, almost overnight. 1950 this happens, guys. So they're there for a little bit. This isn't like, this isn't 200 years ago. No. Everyone except a post office worker
Starting point is 00:38:43 abandoned the town. It was like they were trying to trick a highly intelligent predator. One day, the Aleutic seemed to be going about their business, and the next, they all left. But they left someone behind. A post office worker virtually barricaded himself in the Portlock Post Office. He reported hearing the sounds of a heavy two-legged creature
Starting point is 00:39:07 roaming the empty streets of the freshly abandoned village. Fortunately for him, the post office closed, and he too left Portlock. By 1951, Portlock's population was zero. I love that even the post office is like, bro, you got to stay. There might be mail. Yeah, right?
Starting point is 00:39:26 There might, you never know who's going to work. What about the mail that's still on its way right now? I know that there's allegedly a cannibalistic crew of big feats up there in the woods, but we got to keep getting mail. I know they're all leaving the people of the mail those four, but what if they get mail? Mm-hmm. Yeah, I know they're leaving.
Starting point is 00:39:44 So now it's abandoned in the field. 50s. I got a couple more updated reports of people who have wandered into Portlock and it's not ended well. It's like happy. You can't get you into Portlock but I can't get you out.
Starting point is 00:40:00 18 years after the abandonment of Portlock, a hunter ventured into the forest near the ghost town. He was looking for wild goats, but what he found instead gave him nightmares for years to come. At first, he felt like someone was
Starting point is 00:40:15 stalking him. He heard slow footsteps and distant rustling. But then, within seconds, the footsteps sped up. He wasn't being stalked. He was being chased. He started running and never looked back. The creature chasing him was screaming and making horrendous sounds, and it kept following him until he was out of the forest. Five years later, in 1973, three hunters were passing by Portlock when a storm forced them to take shelter in the abandoned town. They could not sleep the entire night because something kept circling their camp. It kept growling and uttering sounds that were unintelligible,
Starting point is 00:40:57 but threatening, and each hunter swore that the thing walked on two feet. The walking on two feet aspect is something that another group of hunters also brought up. They were tracking a moose when they noticed manlike footprints that were over 18 inches long. The hunters were,
Starting point is 00:41:14 realized that the creature was also tracking the same moose. Then they came across an area where the grass was flattened. It seemed like something had wrestled the moose, and it was clear who had won. The moose tracks did not go beyond the grass, while the giant man-like footprints continued upward into the mountains. Considering the size of a moose, it's clear that whatever those man-like footprints belonged to was no man. One of the most recent accounts is from 1990 when an Anchorage Paramedic was called to aid someone who was incarcerated in the Eagle River jail. The inmate, who had suffered a heart attack, was a 70-year-old Aleutic. He was limp and silent, so the paramedic tried to engage him by telling him about his adventures. The inmate remained unresponsive
Starting point is 00:42:04 until the paramedic mentioned that he had gone hunting in the forests around Portlock. The elderly man sprang up and grabbed the medic by the shirt. Did you see it? Did it bother you? He asked as guards rushed in. Did you see it? Did it bother you? He repeated while looking terrified. As the guards took him away, he kept asking over and over. Did you see it? Did it bother you? Did you see it? Did it bother you? The story of Portlock, Alaska, my friends. No one knows. What's up there?
Starting point is 00:42:36 It's got a lot of history. See, now we got to send an army tank up there and let's find this big foot. Well, that's what they were doing the show about. They're like, we're in Portland. Oh, and they were up there. But they were all putting, they were all acting. I didn't like that show. But they were like, oh, there's a rock.
Starting point is 00:42:51 It's being a rock at us. Well, we know human could throw that rock. It was just a lot of, it felt like a lot of grift to me. But it's a creepy story. That is weird. No one seems to be able to go around Portlock. Even if it is like a murray. murderous giant bear.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Uh-huh. That's still terrifying that there's a giant murderous bear that sometimes walks on two legs while looking. Would also need to be like 200 years old at this point because it keeps happening. Right. Keeps happening. All right. Show trip to Portlock, Alaska guys are hiding up there.
Starting point is 00:43:22 All right. Shout out Motek on YouTube. I made that whole video. I'll post the whole video on our Facebook page if you want to watch it later or share it with somebody's story. Portlock is a weird one. That was weird. That was weird.
Starting point is 00:43:32 I like that one. Your high strangest for today. It's K. Rock. 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.
Starting point is 00:43:49 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. Take your time on those roads. A lot of show fam checking in with us once they make it to work. Be careful, slow down.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Just go slow. You got to go. Snow fighters are out there doing their best, but it's a little bit of a Nor'Easter we're trying to stay ahead of here. And if someone wants to ride your fanny, let them. Let them. They are at fault if they hit you. It's not the best situation, and it'll suck.
Starting point is 00:44:30 But, hey, it's not a long. It won't be your fault. You just go, you know. Guys, you know, the bigger vehicles and stuff, I promise you, your weiner does not shrink if you go slow in the snow. I know. I know that you want to go real big, real fast in your big trucks, and you want to force us all over the road.
Starting point is 00:44:51 And I know that your truck is the best, and it's so grippy and fast. But I assure you, I have seen big trucks and ditches too. Yeah. So it's possible. Maybe slow down a little bit. Just go slow. Be careful out there, gang.
Starting point is 00:45:02 It is a lot. Same for the same piece. It's almost the same with the little tiny little cars you see that dudes rip around in like that where it's like, you realize what you're driving, right? Yeah. You seem like going in.
Starting point is 00:45:13 I don't know if they do. Like what are you, what are you doing? I don't know if those are people who have ever practiced slipping around a parking lot to know what snow feels like. I had a little Honda,
Starting point is 00:45:22 one of those little tiny ones go rip around me when you're leaving Bagalicious last Friday where I'm like, you go right ahead, man. You go right ahead. That's always the answer I have mentally. Instead of getting angry, I always say, all right, I'll see you at the next red light, because that's always the case.
Starting point is 00:45:37 They rip by you and then you're side by side of the next red light. Or I'll see you in the ditch up there. Yep. Because you can't slow down for some reason. Or it just makes you feel good to just know that you've got to, you're so, you're going to get to work, that you hate yourself and your job so much that you just got to do that. So I'm just like, oh, you go ahead, bud. And I would imagine these bigger trucks are going to stop a little longer to stop. Slow down on.
Starting point is 00:46:02 Slow down. Everybody take your time. We want you all to be safe on them roads, okay? Amazon is currently testing what they're calling ultra-fast delivery, Cody. Maybe not right now because the same goes for the drone. Yeah, right. No, this is only in Seattle and Philadelphia right now. But you're rolling it out to bigger cities.
Starting point is 00:46:19 I can't imagine we'd ever get it here. It wouldn't be possible. I want the drone delivery thing. Because they guarantee purchases at your front door in 30 minutes. That should be capable, very. In cities. In cities. In sort of.
Starting point is 00:46:33 We have the giant. Oh, the distribution centers? They're right there, but it's just a matter of they don't have everything in there. They say the 30-minute delivery is being tested in Seattle and Philadelphia. Unclear if it will be expanded. I can't imagine me out in Granby would get a 30-minute delivery because that's how long it's going to take to get there. It's available 24 hours a day in both of those cities. You check the Amazon app, see if you can get 30-minute delivery in the navigation bar.
Starting point is 00:47:00 Interesting. If you need something that fast, I guess I would say just go to a store, but maybe you are disabled and you can't get out to a store. Yeah, I think of like those commercials they use of like maybe you are a mom by herself or something. Yeah, there be reasons. Maybe you're homebound and you can't get out. You have two kids and they're both diarrhea. So you have to have diapers now.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Like that. Like medicine and diapers and stuff, I would get it. Like when I dooredash you flu stuff. You're not going to go out and buy flu stuff. No, no. And if it was when I had the vid, it was the, I couldn't anyway because I'd get all dizzy. Yeah, you couldn't stand up. Cousin Jay says, I've had packages delivered to my door between 530 and 6 in the morning, all the time.
Starting point is 00:47:50 It's insane. The delivery people I see ripping up at all hours of the night and morning up by me, man. I've had that same thing. I've seen an Amazon guy when I've been walking outside like a Saturday at 5 o'clock in the morning. Right. And there's just, you're Amazon. I'm like, bro, that's what I'm getting at it. When all this comes to an end, that's what I'm going to adapt to. Because I like early morning hours.
Starting point is 00:48:15 I like getting my work out of the way. I'll go be one of those Amazon guys. Just ripping around. Not necessarily in the truck, but I'll be one of those like freelancers who's like, I'm up at 4 a.m. You want me to deliver some stuff? I'll deliver some stuff. I'll be the annoying person in a shiny vest dropping off a package at your door at 5.
Starting point is 00:48:29 at 5 o'clock in the morning. Or at 11.30 on a Sunday night. Yeah, hey, I'm just dropping off this package. A little side hustle action. You can track the orders, and of course you can tip the drivers. Can you tip our drivers? It's got to be just for this. But you, I'm sure you can if you are there and your Amazon guy is dropping off something,
Starting point is 00:48:51 you could. Here you go. Like, I don't know how that works. I tried tipping my Walmart grocery person, and they said they can't take tips. Oh, really? Yeah, so maybe they can't take tips. also why? Well, I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:49:02 Don't tell somebody that's doing something. You're not allowed to have people give you money. Yeah, I should have been like, no. All right, listen. I'm giving you money. Pretend like you're not on the clock right now. There's a tip. Who's, you know the person probably told them that?
Starting point is 00:49:15 The big way making an ass ton of money. No, we don't take tips. No, you say no and you demand no and you walk away. You just loaded my car with groceries. I'll give you five bucks for that. Why wouldn't I do that? Yeah. While it's scary, tonight would be a beautiful.
Starting point is 00:49:29 beautiful night. Oh, this, bro, this would be... For Wegman's Lights on the Lake. Just wait. It's supposed to die down later on this evening. Then once it's done, although with the plows, we'll have plenty of time to getting out there. I'm gonna clean up the roads. You guys will be fine.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Wegman's Lights on the Lake tonight and every night through the holidays. Of course, get your tickets at Lights on the Lake.com. And I know a couple of fellas who went through Lights on the Lake last night. Let's tell a story to the folks, shall we? I know those fellas. We're going to talk about Santa. So do with that information you want to do, parents. Okay?
Starting point is 00:50:09 We're going to talk about Santa for like five minutes, okay? So whatever you want to do with that information, that's your warning. So, as you may or may not know, Cody and I are influencers. We are the faces of Splash Car Wash here in, actually, from Buffalo to Connecticut, believe it or not. You have relatives in Buffalo that saw our ads. Yep, it's us and their... And their mascot. And their mascot.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Max. So we make a lot of videos, and you might see them pop up on your TikTok and your YouTube and wherever these things go. We don't know where they go. They're on the internet somewhere. And we make seasonal videos. We just did a Willy Wonka one that you guys all liked. We did one...
Starting point is 00:50:52 The Buffalo Bills on there. The Buffalo Bills one we did. Yep, for Buffalo Bills. And they were like, well, right now it lights on the lake. If anybody goes through lights on the lake, you get a $10 splash coupon. I never saw the first ones we did. I got all wet with the car wash and you were behind there. We were doing those insults.
Starting point is 00:51:12 You have to ask Tom. I don't know what happened. So we make these car wash videos for our friends at Splash. Because you'd get a deal. You get a great deal. That's insane. If you go to Lights on the Lake, we believe it's tonight and every night. It was definitely last Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:51:27 I went through their. It's every night. Yeah, the little catalog there, and it's every night, man. Every single night, you can get $10 off a splash car wash. And they're like, hey, we'd love to do a promotion around that, let people know that if they go to Wegman's Lights on the Lake, they get the $10 coupon to splash. So we go, okay, well, what's going to be the gimmick?
Starting point is 00:51:48 So we got to put on costumes. If you follow me on social media, Instagram, K Rock Josh, Facebook, K Rock Josh. You'll see I posted our photo, a little selfie. I was Santa Claus. I mean, I had requested Mrs. Claus, but all right. You were in my little elf, you're a little elf ears. Yes.
Starting point is 00:52:07 And we were getting dressed. So let me explain to you what happened yesterday. We were going to meet Tom, our videographer, over there at Lights on the Lake. We met him at a splash location first. You'll see why in the video. And then we got over to Lights on the Lake. And we're like, all right, it was like 445, 430, 445. Has an open yet.
Starting point is 00:52:27 It's got to wait. Not dark yet, but Tom is rigging up the car, as they say. He's putting a big camera on the hood. He's putting lights in. He's got his big camera in the thing. It's a whole to-do. And as Tom is rigging up all the cameras, Cody and I are getting into our costumes. Again, parents, we're talking about Santa right now, so do with that what you want.
Starting point is 00:52:47 And I put on my Santa beard and my Santa hat, and I got my Santa coat on, and you're dressed as an elf, and you're sitting in the passenger seat. And I'm dressed as Santa Claus sitting in my driver's seat. Waiting for Tom to finish with the cameras. And I think like just 10 seconds before all this, you go, I don't think I need to wear the beard. It's fine. It's falling apart. I went, nah, wear the beard. You were right.
Starting point is 00:53:09 You were like, put the beard on. I go, okay, and I'm glad you did. Well, I mean, if you didn't, I don't know who knows of what happened. But this was. So we're sitting there in the car, and there's like cars are starting to line up. And because of that, they're starting to get like back to where we're setting up. So we're just kind of across from cars that are getting. lined up. I mean, literally 20 feet
Starting point is 00:53:30 away from cars that are getting lined up. Yep. And they probably don't know what's going on. They're like, why are these two guys dressing as Santa's helpers? Yeah. In this car. I don't know if it's new this last year, a couple of years, but Centro will send a bus. A Holiday
Starting point is 00:53:46 Express it said on there. The Holiday Express. Which is very cool. Yeah. You can just ride this. I don't know what it costs to ride it, but I know you can do it. Yeah. Where you ride this Central Bus, then. And we see this bus coming. And Cody goes, oh, that's the
Starting point is 00:54:02 bus. And I go, oh yeah, that's that bus they sent through. And we're just sitting there, literally waiting. It's all bust out, all blacked out, you know, whatever how they are like that. Light tore off on the inside. I couldn't see anybody inside of it. But it was wrapped in that lights on the Lake Central Bus thing. Yeah. This bus pulls up, and like I said, now cars are
Starting point is 00:54:20 like right in front of us. And we're sitting in the car and the bus stops right in front of my car. 30 feet maybe? Yeah. And I see the bus driver looking at us. She opens that.
Starting point is 00:54:33 She opens the door. She opens a door. And I don't know why in my brain I didn't think anybody would be on the bus. I was like, oh, we're just, we don't assume. Yeah, just. So I'm sitting there and Cody's sitting there. And I just thought it was some central driver. Maybe they're like, hey, Josh and Cody or whatever.
Starting point is 00:54:50 And lovely central driver opens her door and says, look, kids. It's Santa. We found you. And they turn on the lights of the bus. And suddenly there's 50 kids in a bus. Waving at me going Santa, Santa. And like a deer in headlights, I didn't know what to do. No.
Starting point is 00:55:20 So Cody will attest to this. I just started being Santa. I'm like, oh, hey kids. Hello. Hey, enjoy the life. alerts and I'm like what what's going and obviously it's the funniest thing I've ever seen
Starting point is 00:55:36 and I can't confine and I don't know but my little elf may have been ripping on as vague I don't know what was going on I don't want to happen with me there's a busload of kids waving at us yeah and we're just like okay kids just the
Starting point is 00:55:51 light flip on to reveal a bus packed with little kids it was sick Com level timing. Yeah. Bus pulls up. I think it's just a bus driver.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Obviously, I should have assumed it was full of people. But you don't really... You can't see in the windows. Never would you've expected all of them. I mean, they're parents, but all of them to be little kids. And I'm pretty sure my little elf was hitting his bait.
Starting point is 00:56:18 There's a bus and central bus driver. Hey, kids, look at Santa. We found him. Flips on the interior bus lights and I got a bus load of kids waving at us. Oh yeah, it must be cold Because you can see my alves breath I'm trying to hold my The ears on because my ear falls off
Starting point is 00:56:37 That's gonna be terrifying But they weren't sticking But we did it We didn't We didn't We went on by They got to see Santa Although
Starting point is 00:56:48 And then they would have got to see another one I guess Yep Although they use a couple different ones It lights on the lake Helpers of course The helpers that they've got The one that I saw last Tuesday was one of the best.
Starting point is 00:57:03 Oh, good Santa. Not the other yesterday's helper wasn't. I didn't see anyone. You weren't great, but. Thank you. Thank you. That one was great. But it was so comic, comic, that, of course that happens to us.
Starting point is 00:57:17 Yep. Just a bus full of kids. And I texted boss lady afterwards, I go, you know, she goes, sometimes Santa will get on the bus and say hi to the kids. And I go, no, thanks. Well, I hope they didn't think that I was that get on the bus. guy and I snubbed him. It's the later guy. Yeah, yeah, because I think he had just done that.
Starting point is 00:57:34 Hi, kids! I think it was just on that one. We got up there. All right. But no, that, so I think that one did. Never a dull moment with this job, Cody. Never a dumb moment. Or you know what? That just blew their minds of that he was there.
Starting point is 00:57:49 By the time they got up there, he was there waiting. That's true, too. You were there waiting for him. That's how fast Santa can travel. Yep. He's got them very speedy, thick. legs. They always got to be on.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Always got to be on edge. Ready to go. Ready to perform. Got to turn it on. Getting lots of reports back. People say traffic is slow moving. Yep, that's rough. Over on 690s, they got a lane closed between Solvay and Hiawatha, so it's a little
Starting point is 00:58:16 dangerous out and about. Take your time. If you can work from home, I recommend you do it, but I get it. A lot of us get into work. We came into work, too. We get it. I can guarantee you there's probably people off the road to everywhere, man.
Starting point is 00:58:28 We get it. It's slick. It's not that there's a ton of snow yet. I mean, there's a good amount, but there's not a ton. It was just everything underneath it kind of melted a little and then kind of froze real quick and how cold it was. Just a steady nor easterner snow all day today. Hey, coming up Saturday, our friends over at one-up wrestling, they got another event coming up. Final Fight 2 is over at the New York State Fairgrounds this Saturday, doors at five.

Starting point is 00:59:39 Yeah, that was a... 33 to 15. It was real quick they were out on them, and then it kind of just... Not that the Patriots let off the gas, but they kind of saw they didn't need to play their hardest. Yeah. But... I mean, they tried, though.
Starting point is 00:59:54 One of the low lights of the game comes from the Giants. kicker, and I apologize if I'm saying this wrong, Young Hokoo, who jammed his foot into the artificial turf while attempting a field goal. Here's Troy Aikman's reaction to it. 47-yard try now by Youngwee Koo
Starting point is 01:00:11 and he stumbled. I don't think I've ever seen that. Look like he just stubbed his foot right into the turf. He's giggling. I guess that goes down as a miss. I don't know. He never touched the ball. I said a miss, but it's not a miss because he never touched the football.
Starting point is 01:00:32 Yeah, perfect. That's weird. Yeah, I don't know what they counted as if you don't, if you didn't touch the ball. During that, the visual, they cut to Jackson Dart on the sideline, mouthing, oh, my God. Yeah, that sucks. Eh, no, poor Giants fans. No, they'll be better next year. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:49 As much as I'm not a Giants fan, they got a pretty solid core. They'll be good next year. All right. It's beginning to look at all. Like a good morning. You're getting, You're getting some Christmas flakes today, bud. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:02:17 Because when she saw the rig I saw her face She did like a Yeah, yeah What is that? Okay Yep much of that. Yeah, you probably don't know what this is. Well, my friend and I are in costumes,
Starting point is 01:02:30 because we are doing a video for lights and the lake. Thank you for having us. We appreciate that. And I don't know why I had to be the elf. I don't really understand what about me makes me better suited to be an elf. I don't get it. Well, regardless of the short, the short jokes, I can just say, we're hoarse for money. Yes. We'll dress is a lot of them for money. I had no problem putting that on. We are for sale.
Starting point is 01:03:05 I'm going to say, I requested Mrs. Claus. Yep. So, uh, money talks. You want to see the boys in costumes. And also, weirdly though, and we'll see once that time rolls around, weirdly for some odd reason, elf isn't on my thing of, I don't, I can't, because I'm short. It's just lepercon. You don't want to be lepercon.
Starting point is 01:03:23 Only a lepercon. There's probably something that you haven't, like. There's something there's something in your memory that you've tucked away that happened. That I did do for school or something where it's make Cody do it. He's so little. And it makes me angry when people make short jokes about you because it's so lazy. Yeah, they're real easy. They're lazy.
Starting point is 01:03:42 That's an easy one. Oh, he's short. Wow. It's a layup. If you got a good one, I don't mind. They're just lazy jokes. So a new report ranks America's most fun cities. Sarah kids.
Starting point is 01:03:56 Look at it, Utica! No. We didn't make it. Can you guess? It's your most fun city. It's your most fun city. Well, I was going to say, I don't, I mean, compared with all the what-nots, it's got to be Old Forge, New York, and Chandon Fork. Is it Vegas?
Starting point is 01:04:15 It's Vegas. Yeah, Vegas is number one. Just with, considering everything that's there now, that they have wrestling events, there's a baseball team, there's that sphere. You don't even have to game. You didn't even gamble when you went. I didn't even gamble. If you have a good amount of money, the things you can do in Vegas, you want to go shoot a damn, like, you know, fully automatic tank-mounted weapon,
Starting point is 01:04:39 you could do that. You want to drive a Porsche? Do that. You want to rent a Bentley, do that. Next time I go, the two things that I needed. Well, I want to see the neon sign thing, but the two things that I want to actually pay money for, I want to go to that place where they just have just a million guns. Okay, let's shoot that one, please.
Starting point is 01:04:55 Yep. You can do that. Whatever guns you want. And the construction site thing you can do. Oh, the digger land or whatever it wants. They teach you how to just use a backhoe and you just go play in the dirt for a little while. Yeah. I would do that.
Starting point is 01:05:06 I'm surprised that's not a thing around. That's a video Cody and I try to, any time sales is like, hey, we got an equipment place that's looking advertise. Do you have any idea for it? Cody and I always pitch us getting to play with the back hose. It never happens. It should probably get in the equipment. You want to drive. We'll drive to things around if they want.
Starting point is 01:05:22 They want us to do that. Yeah, number one is Vegas. Number two. Oh, is it Atlantic City for? No, think Disney. Orlando. Oh, okay, okay. I guess that makes sense.
Starting point is 01:05:33 Is that one more popular than California A-A-1? I don't know. We didn't do the California Disney. No? Had no interest in it. I've been once, I'm good. Orlando is the bigger one. Oh, okay, okay.
Starting point is 01:05:44 Disney was the first one, and then he bought the Orange Groves out in Florida and built the bigger one. Gotcha. Did they both have, like, like is it like universal and all that stuff or is that only you know what I mean is that I think that the California one has less at it because it's smaller gotcha like it's only that that like that super Nintendo thing is just at Florida yeah yeah yeah yeah got like the one in
Starting point is 01:06:07 California was like he wanted to build the spot to show off like his animation stuff okay there's not a lot of space out there so he's like I'm gonna go buy a whole ass orange grove in Florida yeah built there and Universal's not Disney it's totally separate I keep forgetting that it is we didn't go to Universal that it's not it's not it's not we didn't go to Universal That it's a whole different thing. Whole separate thing. So number one is Vegas, number two, Orlando. Number three, Miami, probably because of cocaine.
Starting point is 01:06:29 Miami? Miami? I don't know. I'm not going to Miami. Atlanta? I would. I don't know what's going on in Atlanta, but they're having fun. I mean, it looks fun, but I don't know.
Starting point is 01:06:40 Hot Atlanta? Yeah, over some of the other, like, more touristy-type cities. Like, they're, I can think of what's in Atlanta. I don't know what I do in Atlanta. Good strip clubs Oh there's the best strip club Magic City is in Atlanta So I mean you can do that
Starting point is 01:06:57 It's the best strip club You can do that Uh New Orleans Yeah And then Houston Why Houston So Atlantic City's not on there No
Starting point is 01:07:07 That's weird when I don't know if it still is But as a very recently They were doing better numbers than Vegas Were they really So that's kind of weird They're not even They're not even cracking the New York City is 14th
Starting point is 01:07:20 Yeah So I get it. I mean, I have fun in New York City, but it ain't for everybody. I get that. Yeah, someday I'll get to go. I was going to go this past summer. And then I was going to get a real authentic New York slice and Samarrow. I'm going twice in February, buddy.
Starting point is 01:07:36 If you want to come see Ninus Nils, I ain't got no one to go with. Oh, it's not in, I thought it was in the... It's in New Jersey, but it's right across the road. I thought it was like Philadelphia for some reason. No, it's right into Prudential Center. I'll go down there. Gotcha. We will be at Stort.
Starting point is 01:07:49 Stort. Take me to do. down to Stews. Take me, take me down to stewies. The only other one I've gotten to stop into didn't have my ice cream. So I've been freaking Jones and bro. You got the itch for a little yours. Okay, I stopped in two. One didn't have it. The other lady was like, I don't know if we carry that one. There wasn't even a slot for it. Wow. Wow. Let's run down what's going on at Stewart. So the next couple of Fridays, we will be at various Stewart's locations. We're doubling up this Friday.
Starting point is 01:08:19 One to three at the Stewart's on Buckley Road. I believe the corner of Buckling Bear is what Joe said. Oh, is it? Okay. And then 3.30 to 5.30, Stewart's on South Bay Road and Cicero is having their grand opening. Get this. Here's the stuff that's going on in Cicero. Okay.
Starting point is 01:08:36 20 cents off fuel per gallon, all grades all day, including premium, non-ethan, and diesel. All day long. I'm going to just put some diesel in my whip for fun then. That's coming up Friday. I'm going to go put some diesel in my car. Free any size hot coffee or tea. Three single scoop ice cream. It's just like we did up in the Svigam.
Starting point is 01:08:58 That was such an awesome time. 99 cent pizza slice. 99 cents sodas or refreshers and so much more. That's only at the Stewart's location on South Bay Road. Their grand opening on Friday, but we will be there. Plus, don't forget Sewards is doing their annual holiday match campaign right now. It's the 40th annual holiday match. This program runs through Christmas,
Starting point is 01:09:22 and every penny donated by Stewart's generous customers will get matched by Stewart's shops. Since its inception in 1986, holiday match has raised more. Guess how much holiday match is raised here? Stoords. $20,000. $39 million. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 01:09:42 I was trying not to go too high. $39 million. $1. Because there's no admin fees and 100% of the proceeds have been redistributed to local nonprofit organizations whose programs benefit children. That's awesome, Stuart Shop. So two times. I'll make a big graphic for social media so you guys know where to find us on Friday. And then next Friday we're up at Stewart's and Oswego. I'll be telling you about that. I know they've been around, but they haven't been like right where I am, you know, living wise until very recently. I'm a fan. I love stewards. I'm a big fan. Take me down to Stewies. They give me that vibe, that nice and easy vibe from back in the day. Yeah, they do. I like the nice and easy vibe. Textline says you got to try the Stewart's Chili.
Starting point is 01:10:24 All right. I would have tried. We were there for... Did you know that was an option? For soup tober. Souptober. Yeah. Oh, sorry, sorry.
Starting point is 01:10:33 Croctober. Croctober. I like souptober better. We just didn't get to. I like all soup to. So the U.S. Department of Energy, I guess we haven't closed that one down yet, says you should set your thermostat to. Oh, it would be a good 6-7 here.
Starting point is 01:10:49 No, 68. Oh, really? Split the difference. Not 69, not 6-7, but 68. I am a kind of a wild, and I skew the numbers, I feel like. Why is that? Like, I either forget, like, yesterday I was like, why am I so cold? It was like 9 o'clock at night.
Starting point is 01:11:07 And I went and looked and I'm like, oh, yep, 63. You didn't get to turn that heat on, bud. Oh, that's chilly. I forgot. Or, you know, I said it low. or I'll be like, screw it. I was to pay for it, and it's like 72 for a couple hours. You want to be real warm?
Starting point is 01:11:20 And I'm just cranking that son-in-it-all-be-out. They always, like, in this article, too, they say, let it be 68 when you're awake and then have it drop lower while you're asleep. I got to ask RJ at Holbrook or whatever if that's a myth. Because I've heard that if you let your house get cold, you're going to spend more money trying to heat it back up. So just leave it 68. I can't ask a professional about that.
Starting point is 01:11:42 Yeah, no, I try to anywhere from. I don't want it to kick on when I'm not there during the day. So I turn it usually way, way down, you know, like pipes to freeze. But, man, yeah, you got to remember if you're a turn it way, way down. Turn it back. Got to turn back up. And Jojo says, Josh, please ask a professional because that is an argument in this house. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:12:05 Yeah, we'll get RJ. I'll call him right now. Next time RJ from Holbrook, Eding, and Air is in the studio. I'm going to ask them what we should be doing. Let it cool down or keep it steady all day long. Let's hear for Joe Bright. Oh, my goodness. So, now you're making me.
Starting point is 01:12:16 This weather. Yeah, well, a lot of people got to do that. Joe, right, Duncan, bright furniture. How are we doing, bud? I'm doing great. I'm, uh, you have made it in here. I think, uh, the roads are pretty bad shape, as you mentioned. But, um, you know, we all got to get to work.
Starting point is 01:12:30 So you just take your time and stress, though. So let's get into the newsworthy stuff and then we'll talk holiday stuff. Sure. First of all, because I've been hearing the spots running here, you're sold off a 30-year building over on Salinas Street, right? That's correct. Tell me about that. We are selling a third of our showroom.
Starting point is 01:12:44 on South Salinas Street to the city of Syracuse Fire Department. Awesome. It is awesome. It's honestly, it's a win-win. They need a facility to work on their fire trucks. A third of our showroom on South Carolina Street has high ceilings and is warehouse style. So that's a part of the building they're buying. Okay.
Starting point is 01:13:00 And that benefits us because we're going to get some discounts, right? I honestly need to, and as quickly as possible, need to sell off a third of my floor. So they want to move in as soon as possible. So I red-tagged everything over the weekend. If you don't mind buying a floor model, which personally I don't. A lot of times they get sat in less than stuff in your house, you know, then there's big discounts on floor models on South Salinas. So is it just like a section of like just beds or a little bit of everything is on sale?
Starting point is 01:13:29 I'm reducing our lineup in every category by a little bit. So bedrooms, dining rooms, living rooms. We took a little bit out of each category, red-tagged it to head out the door. And so we've got everything. And the longer it goes on, the more people buy the floor models, the less I'll have because it truly is while supplies last. But every single category of items that I'm selling off the floor. Oh, if you're looking for something, get over there to South Salinas Street. For real.
Starting point is 01:13:52 That's the original location, right? That's the original location. The OG Duncan Bright location right there. It's been there 99 years. Wow. Yeah. Yep. But it is getting into the holidays. And people, my wife was very big into, and I believe we bought our table at Duncan Bright, as a matter of fact.
Starting point is 01:14:05 But she was very big into having a good dining room table because she wanted to have the kids grow up at the table. table, family meals at the table. And that's something that's important to you guys too, right? Yes. Well, it's important to my family. You know, holidays are big. I just saw my family and my in-laws, of course, over Thanksgiving. But, yeah, this is the time of the year that people invest in dining.
Starting point is 01:14:26 You're having an important meal around the table. So we sell a lot of dining sets. And at Duncan Bright, you can find the dining sets you're talking about. Solid wood dining sets, Amish made, quality. It's going to last for like 50, 60 years. Yeah. solid wood if you've, you know, so. And we also have starting price points as well on dining, $300 dining sets, but we carry the range.
Starting point is 01:14:48 And yeah, and if you people often ask me, how do you decorate it, how do you accessorize it, it's all personal, how you decorate your house in your dining room. My personal preference, you buy a nice dining set, a couple candles, couple accessories. You don't have to clutter it up too much. Buy nice furniture. Classy. Yeah, you can let it speak for itself. It doesn't need to be covered up.
Starting point is 01:15:08 We got the tool. locations, right? The one over former Great Northern Mall right there on Route 31. Correct, yep. And that one is there, and we're having a sale there as well. Okay. So that one, big former Macy's 90,000 square feet. And then, of course, the original location, South Salinas Street. Trying to shrink that one down, Joe. We are shrinking it down. We're gaining a neighbor. We're excited about that, but I got to get the furniture into people's homes. So anybody that's listening will help me if they come by a floor model. Get down there to the OG Duncan Bright location on South Salinas Street, buy up some floor model.
Starting point is 01:15:39 He's got to get him out of their guys. They're priced to move. Joe, good to see you. Thank you for coming in, man. You guys are awesome. It's always good to see you. I need Steph Curry. I'm going to beat you, bud.
Starting point is 01:15:46 He was cold last time, but he was hot the first time I played with him. So now he should be hot for this time. Who am I? You are the thunder. Thunder. Thunder, thunder. Oh. He's the one where I'm going to shoot 30 free throws because it's just like regular life.
