The Show - O 69

Episode Date: March 30, 2026

March is absolutely Mad as UConn knocks out Duke with a 3 from the logo. Coco continues to grow his cotton candy empire. Josh goes out to Turning Stone to play some BINGO. Plus, TNA World Champion Mike Santana visits us ahead of his taping at The OnCenter & so much more on a Monday!

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. Get it into Boozer. Back for sure.

A head, Boozer. I get it, man. Could not believe that was happening. That was really cool. Unbelievable. I was back in the office at the house, and my wife goes, there's a close game on. So I went out to the living room to watch, and I was lucky enough to catch that. Oh, what a game, dude.

Unreal. Made up for the previous game being a crusher. Who was that? Michigan. destroyed them. Who did they play? Kind of C. Yeah. Crushed them. Man. Man, I get it.

That was awesome. Wow. That was awesome. And then he sweared. I mean, I don't know. I looked up on the clock and it's in five seconds. So I tried to get the ball to somebody who had made one in the game and he wanted to throw it back. So, I mean, I saw three seconds. It was the last shot.

Just happy to see that shit go in. It was so great. He was a freshman, right? Yeah. Yeah. Brailin Mullins from the logo. Unreal. He said, ish. I was screaming.

I was so excited for that. That was awesome. Bye, Duke. Cry about it. Bye. Sorry. Bye, Duke. Beat Duke.

Well, good morning, everybody. Happy Monday. Happy spring break to a lot of you educators and kids. You're off this week. Yeah, I'm going to do you stuff. Oh, you still take me. I want it. Keyers.

Hey, my food. Can I still go. Can you get McDonald's? I'm bored. I'm bored already. I can. Make sure you do this for me. Oh, no.

Can I get your foot? Yeah, you can get it? Yeah. Hey, let's go. You're sure you don't want to go back to school today? Let's go today. How's that? Hey, y'all, get chivalet.

Can I get Chifflin? All right. All right. How is everybody's week? And yes. Yeah. What did we do? Well, I, uh...

Oh, I had a fun weekend. We'll talk about a lot of it. I went to the casino. I know. I tell you about that. Mr. Money bags over here. Fed some bigies, buddy. Mr. Money bags over y'all.

Ah, I'll tell you about that. Did a little house party Friday night. That was a bachelor all weekend. I had nobody at the house. It was me and Fred hanging out watching movies. Just getting down. Hanging out. So many movies.

So much. so much WWE, I'm told. I've watched. I went back now back in the first season. Oh, you're watching it? I never watched the first season. I started in the second season. Oh, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.

And then there's new episodes coming this summer, I guess. Oh, already? Wow. Yeah, I guess because it's a relatively easy show to shoot. Wait. Yeah, you're right. Show to shoot. Yep.

Yeah, because you're just every Monday there's something, every Tuesday there's something, every Friday there's something. You could easily make an episode out of, you know, two weeks worth of content. We got a whole busy weekend and a bunch of you were out of some protests on Saturday. How does go? We got a, speaking of wrestling, we got a jam pack wrestling week.

Not only, we got TNA, do they say superstar in TNA? What do they say? Yeah, that's fine. TNA superstar Mike Santana in studio today, bud. Yeah, that one's. That's a big get. Yeah, that's exciting. That makes me the goosebumps.

He's going to be here at 8.30 in studio. We're talking to him. He's one of my favorites. He had a little incident Friday night. Yeah, Kate, did you do right in the first? accidentally connected with a guy and thankfully it's not a concussion, but who was the other guy's name? Steve Macklin.

Steve Macklin was like doing that hand thing and I go, uh-oh, they said not a concussion. I'll ask him about that. He put out a statement yesterday. Then we got Chris Jericho on the phone. Yeah. We're talking to him later on. So, dude, we're busy.

We got a lot going on. How are you all doing? We're very busy. How was your weekends? What'd you do? What did you get into? You could all just shut up as I'm on the quest for a Stanley Cup right now. my game. Good morning. This is K Rock. I'm up two games on the Winnipeg Jets.

I got a lot going on, Cody. Okay? Are you like a top goal score and all that stuff too? I know because you know how like they write little, we're talking about NHL 26 for some reason. You know how like in between games that are like show like fake news stories about you? Yeah, yeah. It says gross vent, especially quiet during playoffs. I'm getting assists, but I'm not scoring goals. I'm not getting good looks. I'm getting. Are you getting goals? Yes, but I'm getting an ass ton of assists.

Like left and right, man. Because I just wait. I can do all of it because, again, I have no rules. Yeah, yeah. So I can do what I want. Right. And I just wait for a guy to get open. And I just, boom!

Yeah. That was a major focus of my weekend was playing that game. Yeah. I did a little. I did a little in between the what-nots. But, you know, I was mostly at a hotel with a ton of ladies. Yeah, they were actually Swifty fans. Oh, they're all over.

They were all kids. Do you have fun with that? How was that? I asked Bosslady about it. A little smaller than last year, she said. Yes, but it was really fun. I think the fact that there was no cheerleading competition in town. That really helped last year.

The fact that another 200 Swifty girls showed up out of nowhere was a godsend. Yeah. And we also pointed out that we didn't realize that she's not doing anything right now. Sure. Yeah, last year was right in the middle of an album cycle. But it was still, there was the hair braiding women that puts the fun little, you know, like, bedazzly things in your hair, face paint in and, you know, activities. I had a little swiftly put that together for me because I couldn't get my little.

What's it say, Cody? Is that your girlfriend? Cody and Elsa. Aw. That's sweet. That's my dog. That's my dog. But thank you for my bracelet.

That's sweet. And then there was a place selling cupcakes and cookies and all this stuff. I got, I definitely got some. And then what do all the girls do? Just dance to Taylor's music all day? Yep. Okay. Joe Nats was spinning the tunes.

They do two things that I thought were the funniest things ever, because they have scavenger hunts and stuff. It was great. They do a thing where they roll out of red carpet, and they give them a bunch of light up glow stick things. And they do this, like, fashion show, dance. What a little kid thing. And it's hilarious. Also, I forgot how funny it is to hear just 30 little kids singing like Pink Pony Club.

That part, that's the song for some reason. That's the one they sang the loudest. That's cute. Pink Pony Club. And I was laughing so hard, I was crying. Isn't it fun? I don't, I. It was hilarious.

Maybe it's just the dad of me, but I like when kids are having fun. They had a blast. They had a blast. I like when they're just out there living their free life and having fun. That's cute. That pizza. How'd your candy do? Pretty good.

Although, son of a bitch. What? I made an exponentially more amount of the pinks than I did only some of the blue because they're swifties. They're all going to want. You done standard pink. Strawberry, you know, pink for the, you know. Versus your blue dress.

Blue red. Just flying out of there. So fast. That was gone so quick. By the way, Cody is a owner of a cotton candy company. If you are getting up on these summertime events and you want to. want Cody to provide you with tubs of cotton candy he can tubbs bags whatever you want he's your guy he'll happily do it for you he's running an up-and-coming cotton candy business over here

up and coming cotton cany-canon-eer yeah candy ear you're a confectioner confectioner i like that one because it's you know a chocolate ear is yeah so i don't know what you'd call a guy that just burned sugar while you were doing that jojo and i were playing bingo i don't what the hell bro you're out there just i went and played bingo on and played bingo on Saturday, Brad? He's out there feeding pig playing a bingoes. Is it like

I blank down the word? Fancy bingo. It was next level bingo. Like, not like, rock and roll bingo. I'd never done, she said they do that at night. This was the early session.

That's for later, you partiers do that bingo. So yeah, this was like, sugar, it must be nice, but I saw you were very busy sugar and vaginas

and buttholes on Saturday. So you made your money, Nice. So I, family went out of town. Yeah. And I had really nothing to do. It was,

you know, house party Friday night. Yep. Saturday morning, no kings. And then I was like, what am I going to do early afternoon?

Jojo's like, do I come play bingo? It was going to be her and Rob. And then I guess Rob can't sit still there on. Just me and Jojo with a bunch of old ladies. Yeah.

Bro, I'll tell you right now. I don't know if it's my grandma in my, like my grandmother's DNA. I love bingo. I've never played. You've never played bingo? Mm-mm. Dude. We've tossed that around as an idea.

Dude. To do a K-Rock bingo. Even if it's just like, I asked Jojo how that would work, even if we're like, hey, there's going to be 10 of us meeting up a bingo, you want to go? Well, that I would do. I am just so used to, like, firehouse basement bingo. Yeah. Or, like, VFW bingo.

Is that not like this? It is a hundred times. bigger deal. Oh. What do they do? First of all, imagine like a giant conference center ballroom with hundreds and hundreds of people playing bingo. Oh, really? It's huge.

The bingo hall. I pictured like 50 people. No. Oh, like I would say, Jojo, how many you think we're in there? 300? Oh my God. They had to keep opening up tables because they were doing a deal, I guess. Oh, okay. It was like $14. Gotcha. So here's what we do.

I get there. So there's going to be some Seriously 300. Dude, yeah. But the payouts are huge. Like, people are winning thousands of dollars. Real, damn. So it's a, it's a home. I'm not going to throw you to the wolves with this.

No. You've got to be ready with this. It's, no, it sounds way more intense than one of my favorite Rosanna episodes. Oh, they did do a bingo episode. She gets addicted to bingo. So Jojo meets me out there. And I'm like, you got to walk me through this because I'm not ready for all this. Yeah.

We go up. The guy gives me a stack of papers. Multiple? You're playing games, bro. How long do you think I play bingo Saturday? Oh, man, I don't even know. Guess. Hour.

Three hours, it takes. I was there for three hours. And I was fine with it. Are you doing one card at a time? They give you a sheet that has all the games they're going to play. But you know how some people play like, give me 10? People were doing that. You're just doing one, though?

I'm just doing the entry level. Bingo. I'm not getting crazy. So I got my sheet and it tells you what card you're playing. Did you need a thing? Jojo gave me one of her davers to play. Because if you didn't have one, are you screwed? And we were just across on these other people who were playing bingo. We became friends with them throughout the course of the day.

Nine cards on one pack. So we get going. Now, I didn't win anything at bingo. Spoiler alert, neither to Jojo. But it was... The friends you made along the way. The friends you made along the way, bro. And it was...

It was a touch of the bingo that I used to know, meaning old people were miserable. Some blue hairs. But like 100 blue hairs. But you gotta imagine. These people take it very seriously. And... Yes.

Anytime someone's phone would ring. Oh, boy. Oh, my. Turn it off! I was dying. Anytime someone's phone would accidentally ring, someone would... Two or three old people would yell,

turn it off your phone! And I loved it. I hear it here's when you're calling. Anytime they called 069, hello! A bunch of old people. That's my favorite. And they would laugh. And I was trying to focus on my cards.

There's like a whole thing where I guess in this bingo, if you don't call your bingo before the next number, it invalidates the bingo. Oh my God. So I was like, you have to be like, you've got to be dialed in, bro, and they're dialed in. Don't worry about it. And then you're playing these games.

and just like they, just like when I used to remember from the old, you know, fire department bingo, somebody calls bingo and we're, oh, oh, F you, bitch, bitch, I loved it, I loved it. Is it similar to, uh, uh, I got it? Is it like that? How so? Like, just the atmosphere of like from the fair of five and a lot. It is fun, it is fun. And if someone gets it.

Oh. I loved the bingo caller. Shout out, Jerry, the bingo caller. She apparently is a legend in this bingo hall. Oh, really? She won an award. while we were there. Like, the bingo director was like,

before you go to your final game, congratulations to Jerry, who has won, blah, blah, blah. I was like, what is this? I love it. Jerry's got the biggest house you've ever seen. I love it. She's doing a great job.

Jerry's life could probably be an HBO series. You don't even know it. I go to Jojo. I go, I really, I wouldn't mind Jerry's gig. When Jerry retires, I'll come out here, and I'll call bingo at Turning Stone. I love it. Turning Stone?

Yeah. Yeah. So he played, and it was really fun, and there was just a lot of, like, Cosmic Bingo. They do that. They have all these lights. That's the word I was looking for.

I don't know if I could handle a cosmic bingo. This was stressful enough. Well, it's always funny because it's such an intense thing around you happening while you're playing bingo. Yeah. It's like, um, go, so, um, boom, boom, boom, boom, b 22. It's embarrassing that I'm, I'll say this, I'm only 44. Most of these people were over 60. Double that.

Yeah. Yeah. And they were more dialed in than I was. Damn right. They're not a noob. I was like, your brain is younger than almost everybody in here. Not almost everybody. 90% of the people. And they're all like working multiple cards.

You could buy electronic rent-like tablets that would run a second game for you. Damn. Did they have it? Was it like a big board? Tons of big boards, TVs. You saw the balls popping up. Did they have like little characters and such? Was it like little videos or anything?

No. But they do a pick-a-pet round. where like if you get the bingo, you get to pick a pet. And whatever prize is under that pet, you go home with. So this guy calls bingo, he gets to pick a pet, one $700. All right. The payouts were tons of money. Damn.

Okay. All right. Off floating. If I could do an emo bingo night. Obviously, I couldn't take over like the Turning Stone Bingo Hall, but I think I could run a pretty fun K-Rock bingo night. Yes. Because I have the app on my computer.

Yeah. It wouldn't be that intense. It would just be us over at the Wildcat or something doing. Yeah. So I'm going to do a bingo night. And you just buy the, there's websites to get those things. Easy. We'll do a bingo night.

What? Didn't you do that? I did one for safe space. Okay. All right. Yeah. I was going to say, oh, my guy. I was called bingo a couple times.

Oh, my brain. But I have never run a K-Rock one. That'll be awesome. Yeah, yeah. And then I'm leaving. So I didn't win anything with bingo, but I didn't mind. It was like 20 bucks to play. Yeah.

And I'm leaving. And I'm like, well, I'm going to feed some pigs before I get out of here. That's the move. I go and I find the piggies. sit down, first spin, hits for like $11. I'm like, that's pretty cool. Hit a couple more spins. Goodbye.

Hit for like $23 more. I was like, that buys my pizza for the night. Goodbye. Cashed out, I was gone. Cashed out, I was gone, picked up a pizza on the way home and just. Place that shall not be named? No, I got sales. I got chicken bag of ranch from sales.

Chicken, chicken bag of rain. It was really awesome. Okay. All right. Oh, that'd be pretty cool. Beulanch. If we did a weed? Night, a bingo night's blazed bingo?

We could find a spot that would let us drink and do that. That'd be pretty cool. You need to be a warmer in a kind of outside area that's uncovered a little bit or something. Then you'd be good to go. Lock one's that got a pavilion I could do it over there. Regardless, shout out turning some bingo. That was so much fun. I'm my first time doing it, and I really loved it.

I have heard about people going to do that. It's really, really fun. Well, that's fun. I think that it's an enjoyable hobby I'll be getting into more. Bingo? I think I'm going to get real serious about bingo. No, not really. But I'll go once a year.

That was fun. That was something to do. Start hitting out of his local churches and such. Yo, I'm going to get the itches. They start running this scene. I can enjoy it once, but I think I'd get too anxious if I start like infiltrating different bingo rackets. You'll never know until you try a little. Just like one quick VFW one.

Just to get the taste. All it'll take is that you get a win somewhere. Oh, if I got a win at that bingo, I was so nervous to win. And I was even more nervous that I was going to call a win and not have a win. because one person did that, I think that they were killed. I think they were killed on the spot. They were dragged out. Yeah, they were dragged out of them.

I could see Josh gets, he had multiple pincos, but his anxiety wouldn't let it call it out. No, no, it's wrong, it's wrong. Never mind. Because I wouldn't want to be mad at me. Yeah. You have it again. No, everyone will be mad at me, so I'll just. No, they're all my friends right now and they like me, so I don't want to make any of them mad.

I don't want to make everybody mad at me if I went. It's six bingos. Yeah, I'm embarrassing. You guys, this Friday, is the first stop on the diner tour. Don't come here on Friday. I'll go as omelet. You have to go to Oswego on Friday.

I go here? No, you're going to go to Brist Street and Oswego. Downtown, I swear I'll drive to. Right here? No. Wade's in Oswego is where we will be. No, I don't go to college anymore. No, well, okay. He's not going to be there.

He's no way he's making it. You guys are crazy. This Friday, kicking off the diner tour 6 a.m. Live at Wade. come by. We'll be sitting in the booth, eating some breakfast, doing a show. We'd love it if you swung by and got yourself some breakfast, said, hey, how do you do? And so on. We got free posters to give away. You can win one of these beautiful mugs.

Did we think of a, like, a thing? Did we want to... That's this week's job is to find the Planko board. I think we want to do a Planko board? I like the Plinko board. I just got to make it harder to win. Yeah, where it is? Somewhere it exists. We'll find it. That's a problem for later, Josh. Bring your key now, Josh. We'll get it upstairs, so we'll find it.

There's something up there we can use for something. Diner Tour driven by Burtig BMW. You want to buy some Kit Katz? Yeah, sure. I got 12 tons of Kit Katz. Are you, did you do a heist in? Thieves stole 12 tons of Kit Kat chocolate bars. He did a heist.

Give me a break. Twelve thousand. Give me a, break me off a piece of that. Football cream. They were traveling between Italy and Poland. Oh, so it was probably good, chocolate. It's good, it's real chocolate. We don't got that over here.

The stolen shipment contained 413,000 units of the company's new chocolate range. What? What does that mean? Of the company's new chocolate range? I don't know. What does that mean?

No. Chocolate. They coming out with even more Kit Katz? The truck left a central facility in Italy bound for Poland when criminals intercepted it. Wow. A Nestle spokesperson said, we've always encouraged people to have a break with KitKat,

but it saves things I'm taking that message. You don't got to spin everything into something stupid. He did. That's a good PR we got right there. The theft may cause Kit Kat shortages before Easter as stolen bars could enter unofficial European sales channels. You're telling me there's an underground chocolate? Yeah.

There's an underground chocolate to... That one, I bet you could easily sell on eBay and that type of crap. You just got to look out for someone that all of a sudden. The company did warn that stolen chocolates could be traced through unique batch codes on each bars. No. I don't think so. I don't think you're, we're tracking now. I mean, they're gone.

They're just gone. I don't know what happens from here on out. Oh, were these? What is it? I just typed in new Kit Katz. What is it? Look at these. These look awesome.

They got like fillings. Salton caramel, double chocolate and hazelnut. Yeah, those look good. Fillings of that stuff in between the, the layers. Although, they want balls of the wall with the flavors. Because it's probably a very easy candy bar to mess with the flavors. Don't be trying to get all crazy.

I can see Kit Kat. They're starting to pull here. They're like, well, we can make it a rabbit shape. We can put stuff in it like this. It's like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. They're going to forget about their bread and butter. Relax, careful. They're going to forget about their bread and butter.

We can make a jumbo. Which is fine. All right. You want to, but don't get crazy here. and oversaturate. Because look what happened. We just did that thing about the chips. Too many chips.

We don't need double salted caramel, hazelnut, chocolate stuffed, you know. Yeah, and Bob and Chad is right. Japan level of Kit Kat flavors. If you ever find one of those spots, like, is everybody snacks still opening a street? He does online stuff. He does online now. But those, some of those stores are wild. With other countries, Kit Katz, it's wild.

There's so many. They got some good ones out there. There's so many flavors. Well, if you track down any, uh, if you, if you, uh, if you're, if you're, if you, If you tap into some underground chocolate market, would you let us know, please? I mean, if there's anybody that's got it. I mean, if any, we could, we could, come on. I mean, what do you got out there?

Take a little bit. Puka, Bella, I'm sure you've noticed some changes. How are you talking to? I'm just practicing for when I have to tell the dogs about the twins. You know, because they'll be fine in the spacious third row seat. But the twins. Can sleep peacefully thanks to the rear manual sunshade. And what about the extra cargo space for strollers and dog beds?

I guess you're right. Can we go to the hospital now? The contractions are. They're getting closer. The three-row Lexus TX, because everyone should feel like the center of the universe. See Burdick Lexus and Cicero. Shout out to Hamilton beating Hobart over the weekend, I guess. Hobart had lost the game since 2003.

Well, now you have. Now you have, Hobart! Got hole in the name! Yo, what up! Ooh, okay. Oh, right, dirt. Yeah, Hobart had the goalie giving up 0.9 goals a game. Damn.

Good for Hamilton. All right. I love a little college hogging. But on this night, Hamilton is greater than the Hobart. You'd be into this new trend that people are doing. Like, everybody is, it's all about protein lately and getting your protein and stuff. Oh, yeah, yeah. Like protein bars, protein shakes.

Every fast food is like, here's your protein balls. Like, you're KFC. I did just see a thing where it was like, here's this wicked protein packed snack. I just thought it looked good. Yeah. But that is funny that you say that about protein Because that's like it's a big thing They had those big fancy letters all the time

And they were showing you how to make it Oh yeah 30 whatever protein because it's all potato and meat People track their macros and all that stuff Macros and cheese I just eat Olive Garden at 2 o'clock in the afternoon And a whole lot of it And I did on Friday by the way

So we close at 1115 Or 11 p.m. So 1115 you wouldn't be able to order I mean a.m. Yeah. Oh I put in the first order Friday After I left this show.

They were the dead. The phone was ringing from the people were outside to like, the phone's already ringing. That was the first physical human that they served. We're not open yet, phone. We're not open. 10.58, he's gone on the phone. I don't understand. Where are they?

Where are they? Where is my Alfredo? People are putting yogurt and coffee to boost protein now, I guess. I can see some of those. The guy who started it is a gym bro, obviously. Jordan Bearstein, Berenstein, Berenstein, Berenstein Bears. Oh. The original recipe was cold brew with Greek yogurt and coconut water.

Then you'd add some cinnamon for flavor. Okay. People started dabbling in that and finding different ways, like by putting... So it's... Flavored yogurt and coffee and stuff. It's a healthy version of what I do. What do you do? Anything but...

Oh, ice cream. Ice cream, cotton candy chunks. Yeah. I've tried coconut water because I didn't have creamer. I was like, I got to make it sweeter. Did it do it? Not really. I didn't like it.

Reviews are mixed. People saying, just drink the coffee and have the yogurt on the side. Yeah. But then you're not getting multiple macros, protein macros? That is. Yeah, you got to get those macros. You got to load in your multiple protein macros? Jim Rose love loads.

Facts. Have you been drinking coffee still at home? I know you got it back in your coffee for a little bit. A little bit here and there. What do you mix it in it? Just what do I have right now? Flavored creamers? I still have a little of my little Debbie Christmas tree cake.

All fun. Fun. But it's like a creamy, creamy bruley. Creamy one? Cremberle. Oh, creme brulee, got you. Okay. But it's good.

That one's pretty good. Which is, it's just caramel. Yeah. It's just a caramel. Yeah. I like that. Some people are mixing flavored yogurts with their coffee. Like maybe like a cinnamon yogurt would be pretty good, right?

I could see like, yeah, it could work. But it would be. it's not a gross way because it's just yogurt it'd be like chunky because it'd be impossible to you'd have to put it in like a mixer. I've just started seeing this thing as you guys know I don't drink coffee I don't like hot liquids in my mouth

I don't drink hot liquids but there's this thing I see these coffee shops offering now where it's like it must be similar to a five hour energy but it's like with those pumps but it's called something oh really so they'll do like a like a fizzy water

with some pumps of that and then some cream Is it like my little, remember those little shots that had the extra whatever in them? Maybe, maybe? Or you just, so maybe it's like that and you just, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, so whatever that is, I want to try that. Oh. That's the thing. Is angry barista in here yet?

It had a name because everyone's like, can I get the blah, blah, blah, whatever it is? Handbone might know. It's like a pump of like a, the one I saw was a blue raz energy something in fizzy water with some cream. And it looked interesting to me. I don't know. I mean, there's a ton of random. That's why I think that you might like some of the things that you could get a hold of because it's not just here's coffee now.

No, I remember back in college when those Starbucks bottles became a thing. I would occasionally get those and I didn't hate those. Right, it's basically like that. Yeah, it was cold coffee. You would like the coffee I drink. But it's all candy. There's no coffee thing. There's no good.

It's all just sweet. Ten seconds to go. Get it into Boozer. Back for Saar. Ahead. Boozer. Deflected and stolen by Mullins. Caraband two seconds.

Mullins tosses it out. Possible. March means drama. Estounding. All Duke had to do is hold the bowl there. Absolutely. Dead in the water. To come back and win this one, 73 to 72, a March hero is born.

Grayland Mullins hits the dagger. Wow. I thought it was Tantino's drama. Wow. Man, what a finish. Yukon's 19-point comeback is tied for the largest in Elite 8 or later in the NCAA tournament. Nah, boozer, that's a young guy mistake.

You just tripled that clock out, bro. They were trying to go. There was a guy. What he was doing was there was a guy on the other end. You're trying to get it to? for a nice dunk to end the game instead of just dribbling it out because he was like, oh,

they tipped it. It has been 36 years since Duke won against Yukon that way when Christian Leitner hit the famous infamous buzzabeter to take him to the final four. That was similar, but that will never be topped. And of course, because I'm a sucker, I just felt really happy that he hit that three

and then he, I was so proud of it. because he's a freshman. He's so proud of it. He's just a young man. He was so... He did it. I can't believe it. He did it.

He hit that three and he's going to go back to school and be so popular. Oh my God. Yeah, dude. Yeah, dude. Because now they got some time. When is it next weekend or something? For the final four? Yeah, so now I got to see who's where everything stands.

When is the first game? Saturday night, I want to say it is, right? And then it's, then Monday is the, uh, the whole shebang. Why isn't it giving me the matchups? It's not giving me the matchups. It's Illinois and Yukon versus Michigan and Arizona. All right.

So the winner of Yukon and Illinois takes on the winner of Michigan, Arizona. That game is going to be blow your balls out your pants. Which one is Michigan, Arizona? Yucon and Illinois should be good too, but Michigan and Arizona is like a, that's the championship game. Those two have been like the two best teams all year. They both are riddled with NBA ready players. They both have just been smashing people. How was your bracket looking?

It's not the worst. A lot of it are kind of gone. I've got Michigan winning several. The ones I didn't have Michigan winning. I had Duke. So those are out. But I still have a couple that have Michigan. I think, let me just, because now that you say that,

I'm not really sure. I want to, for the Work League, I might be up there still because I'm, I had Michigan winning in our work league. Yeah, I didn't even do a bracket this year. Let's see. Here I am. Still third.

All right. Nice. Still third. Who's a... Scottie Hoover, Super Salad, and Gomez. Gomez. Are above me. He knows.

Gomez is not sports. And then I'm sitting on top of Polly. He's fourth. So proud of Braylon Mowlands? You got the big man's get? I mean, I don't know. I looked up on the clock and they said five seconds. And then he said it's a five seconds.

And then he's going to get the world. to somebody who had made one in the game and he wanted to throw it back. So, I mean, I saw three seconds. It was the last shot. Just happy to see that shit go in. Yeah. It feels so good to go back home. I can tell you that. I'm so excited. But we're ready for Indy. We're ready for Indy. Yeah, but I had to rewind that because I was out in the

kitchen. Did he just say ass on TV? And I went, wait a minute. And I ran back and I rewind out. He did. That's why I'm saying. We should be able to say swears on TV now. It's 2026. Well, and then what game was it? I forget what game was on, but it was one of these games. And a guy hurts his knee.

Mm-hmm. And he's laying there. And the camera is right on him. And he's laying there going, F! Oh, he's swearing and they're just pan right at him. Yeah. And he's,

AF! I'm like, pan out! But it was just still on him. And he said it like five times. Mm-hmm. You got to think that the guy, like, the producer and the control was like, guys. Guys, I said camera three like 20 times.

Anybody? Yeah. Because he can't get double. But I wasn't traumatized. And on the radio. Yeah, no child is shocked by a curse word. No, not with the... Just words. Not with the internet anymore. It's just words. The internet and streaming, like Netflix and all that stuff. Are you kidding me? Were the... Yeah, but... Whoa. Can't say F on the radio. It's my biggest hang up, man. Like, how am we supposed to compete? Not that it like... Swearing makes you competitive.

No, it's like... It would add a whole number level. Every other medium is allowed to curse and say what they want, except broadcast television and broadcast radio. Because a kid might hear it. Like the kids never heard you swear parents? Not in my proper Christian home. Well, it's just weird that everything else has it. But that's not the issue. Well, no, they don't have violent.

The video games make them violent. They kill people on the radio and they swear. And they go over there and they say the swear words that they're nuns. Yeah, right. Yeah. I digress. As we stick with sports. First of all, in college sports today, at four,

SU, I guess, will formally introduce Jerry as a head coach. He's not. I think we've done this like three times. I thought we've introduced Jerry, but I guess today is the formal, maybe press conference or something. Okay. And as of an hour ago, no, Mike Hopkins is not going to Sienna. I don't know why that was news over the week.

I don't know. I saw one of the couple of news stations around here. Put that up a couple hours ago that now he's out. Yeah. Why would he have ever been considering going to Sienna? That was very confusing that you heard zero about him being a attention for Syracuse at all, even a little. They weren't even mentioning them, yeah.

But for Siena Chobo, that opens up well. What? Yeah, it didn't make sense to me, but I guess that's been... You know, and as a lifestyle change, I would not want to do that. You're an NBA. You're in the NBA. Hang there for a while. Maybe you get a head coach and drive the NBA some point.

I mean, does that mean he's looking then? He's going to be trying that route, then? Trying to start over that way he gets a look as an NBA coach? I don't know. Also in sports, Tiger Woods, another dealie. Knocked it out. Yeah, bro, get a driver. Get a driver, man.

Not a golf driver. A driver driver for your car, bud. I'll never understand why rich and famous people don't get drivers or Uber's or just have somebody on your staff. Pay somebody $100 grand a year to just drive you around. Right. It doesn't even have to be, if you want, every day all the time. But if you know you're going to be impaired. Tiger Woods flipped his land road.

on Friday afternoon in Jupiter, Florida. He blew a 0.0 on a breathalyzer, refused to take a blood test, and police say he did seem impaired. So what, pills, drugs, something? I don't know, I don't really know then. If there's nothing with the booze, then something makes you look the way he did. Police say Tiger showed signs of impairment, but he blew a zero on the breathalyzer, refused to take a blood test.

And then that part, yeah. And there's no word on what he might have been under the influence of. I don't know drugs enough to know what he might have been in. like Zanis? I don't know. I don't know. But even if it's, you look like that

because you're in such rough shape mentally or physically. Yeah. Also not the best time to be driving. No. So something needs to be addressed with him, whether it's the use of, you know, pills or whatever while he's driving.

He suffered some pretty serious injuries back in 2012. Yeah. Boken bones in his legs. Yeah. This one, he seems fine. The Masters tournament in Augusta kicks off on the ninth so next week Is he gonna play? I don't know. He hasn't said

whether he'll compete or not. No, don't. I mean, it some, just right off into the sunset, man. You were, he is killing that whole story that he was, you know, nobody remembers

anymore. That he was this phenom that came up and... That made golf what it is now. Yeah, because he keeps getting behind the wheel of a car. You're doing all these crazy things. Um, a source says, quote, he is disappointed and a little pissed, all of his girlfriend, who apparently is a Trump, it's the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr. I didn't know that. It's the weirdest timeline

ever. Trump via penis. She's pissed. Source adds, he has to get things under control or she's not going to stick around. So if his girlfriend is saying he's got to get things under control, maybe it's a bigger problem that any of us know about. Right. She might know more than we do. Yeah. Yeah. Fans of Tiger were already wearing shirt. with his mugshot on them at the Houston Open Golf Tournament on Saturday. Oh, great. All right. Yeah.

That sucks, but I mean, this is what you're putting out there for everybody. You got to get it together there, Bob. Yeah. Get it together, Tiger. Gizboosh. Good morning. This is K. Rock. Hopefully you all tended to your bushes this weekend.

Get off. No. Sorry, buddy. All right. He was busy. Yeah. Got a whole other kind of cotton candy down. Well, nice and fluffy.

Nice and fluffy, nothing to do with Easter or cotton candy. Good morning, everybody. Real quick, don't forget to get the show on demand. Wherever you download your favorite podcast, typing K Rock the show, and boom, there we are. Before I get into this story by NPR, I love this little girl. She's here to spill the tea, and her mother caught her off. She's just trying to talk about how great her classroom is, except... I love this.

Except... What's the same? I am very proud of myself and all of my other friends inside my class. Good. And my class is really sweet except one little boy. Oh, and I need to tell you. And she is going to tell you. Now hold on, sis, come back.

I would have, yeah. Now let her go. Let her cook. Let her cook. Let me hear. Where are we going? If there's some annoying little boy, call him out. Call his ass out.

Go ahead. Because that way he can stop whatever little boy behavior is going on. I love it. I love it. Let her cook. Give her a minute on stage. Right? Yeah, I wish they would have let her go.

Well, NPR has an article. I think we could all use in these trying times on ways to train your brain to be more optimistic. Your brain to be more optimistic. Oh, that's peaceful. I like what's on NPR. Let's do our whole show. on NPR voices? Oh.

I don't know if I could. No, it makes me very anxious to use this. No, I think my voice is too squeaky and annoying to ever be on NPR. And it builds up anxiety in me when I talk this low. Does it really? I can't. I have to use my normal one. You know how weird life is and how full circle life is?

I have to yell. I can't. I'll get it out. It's so weird how full circle everything is because when I was getting picked up from school events, my stepfather, all Bobby Bunk Cakes there, he was always listening to NPR. Boring talk radio. Yeah, no. And now when I pick up my kids, I'm listening to NPR.

Boring, talk, radio. I think it's the circle of dads. Yeah, my stepdad would do that with sports radio. And I'd be like, what are we doing? Yeah. Sports radio. My kids will put in their AirPods. Because, oh, yeah.

Oh, it's break down the draft for 83rd time. Because they don't want to hear about, you know, the analysis surrounding the straight of her muse and all that. So they're just going to go ahead and put their AirPods in. The kind of situation is. desire. Kids? Kids? You don't want to hear about the infighting with the House Republicans? No? Okay.

Are you sure? The Civil War is happening in the Congo Republic. Well, if you want to feel more optimistic, NPR has talked to different, I guess, behavioral therapists, psychiatrists, and I've read this, and I've had therapists try to teach me this. I just can't find optimism. I try to. I want to be optimistic.

I'm a very blessed man. Everything in my life is phenomenal. But I just focus on the bad, Cody. I just focus. I know. So you got to train your brain. What if? What if?

What if? What if everything didn't suck all the time? Right? Wouldn't that be better? Huh? Huh? So here's a couple steps they give you. From a behavioral scientist,

psychologists, three easy science-backed ways. Oh, science. To be more positive. Number one. What? It's scientific ways to prove they to be more pop. Just trying.

We're all trying to get to the day. There's science. Maybe it'll help. Step one, make a to-da list. At the end of your day, write down everything you've done. Like magic. Even the small things.

Finishing laundry, drinking enough water. The goal is to remind yourself you did a lot today, bud. You built, you can build confidence. I accomplished a lot. Can I do? Can I think of things? I try to do that at the end of my day. I told you, and you can pick on me.

I don't care. I'll do a little journaling at the end of my day. Or I recap. I look at the things that are good. Go on. Why is he hiding in the bush? Who, Tiger Woods? Yeah, why is he.

He was hiding in the bushes. I don't know. He was hiding. He was doing it. He was doing it. No, no, no, no. Number two. Oh, boy.

This one's schedule worry time. My worry time is a nine to five job, bud. So I'm not scheduling it. Then after that, Then you do your to-da list. Then I do my to-a-list. Then you do my to-da-list. Because you also accomplished a lot today.

Instead of stressing all day, give your worries a set time and a place, write them down as they pop up and come back to them later. There you go. It all sounds good in theory, guys. I would love to do these things. Ask yourself, can I control this? If the answer is no, try letting it go.

That's a good one. What if you can't control anything? in your professional life at all currently. What do you do that? Let it go. Don't even care. Okay. Bye.

Bye. Use realistic affirmations. What's that mean? The 7 out of 10 rule. Pick something you believe 70% already. Like, I am a hard worker. And you say it daily. Oh, okay.

And you build it up in your brain. Oh, like you can make that 100%. The daily affirmations. Oh, I was George Smalley. Good enough. Like right now, in my brain, 70% I'm a fantastic lover

And if I just say that over and over Again cut? No And then you believe it It doesn't work Nobody's gonna believe it Sorry that Maybe not someone

Or that one But like Hey You you drive to work every day I do So well And I have fewer DUIs The Tiger Woods

Look at that Yes I have zero DUIs Where Tiger Woods I think has two now I think That one's about to be So look at that

See Look at me Look at you, huh? I'm not driving as intoxicated as Tiger Woods. You're a roll over your... You're gonna roll over your Rangerover? Never, I can't afford a Ranger Rover, so look it. See what I did there?

I went to the negative and I shouldn't have. No, we're not even worrying about that. No, worry about that I can't afford a Ranger Over. I have never rolled my vehicle over. Because you don't want a Ranger Rover. You don't like them. You don't like them. Started my defensive driving course yesterday.

That's... Can I tell you what's aft up about car insurance? That's so messed up, man. I'm getting dropped by my car insurance. That's so screwed up. Jesus, man, I get kicked off an Uber. I can't do anything right. No.

Because apparently I had, quote, two at-fault accidents in the last year. In the snowstorm where I drove into the telephone pole, fine, I'll take that one. Maybe I was doing something wrong. Those shouldn't count as... But number two is I was at the Grand Canyon and a rock flew off of a truck. Yeah. Hit by the windshield and that's my fault? Like, I'd want to speak with my agent.

at that point. That's aft up, isn't it? I'd be like, I want you to tell me to my face that because a car that I was driving on a family vacation at the Grand Canyon, the desert, mind you, had a rock fly up. And dude, it was nonstop. If you've ever been to the Grand Canyon, I don't know, there must be a mine around there or something. It's a desert.

Yeah, but there's these giant trucks driving just full of rocks all day long. Yeah. And I'm driving past one in a bunch of. Rocks flew out of the truck and one hit the windshield. Right? And because it cracked, I had to play to have a replace. So now... What you did there.

There's your... Oh, okay, there. You had to pay for that. Now it's done. Then you get... Now I'm an at-risk agent or whatever, customer. Then what's the point of insurance? That's the whole reason you get insurance.

That's what I thought. But now I'm costing them too much money, I guess. See, that's why we... Let's call them. Let's call them up. So regardless, I'll follow the rules. if I take this six-hour defensive driving course, I get a 10% discount, I guess.

So I started doing that yesterday. And it's all pretty common sense stuff, but you just got to sit through it. And then you answer the questions, and then you sit through it, and they keep testing to make sure it's you doing the test. Oh, really? So you have to, like, talking to a microphone.

It's weird. Like in the beginning of it, you answer a bunch of questions only you know the answers to. And then after each module, They throw one of them at you. How big is your right testicle. Yes. Yeah.

That's me. Grape size. No, it's things like, have you ever ridden a horse? Which I did. I did. I mean, whatever. I'll play along to get my 10% discount. I get it.

And then find someone that will love you for who you are. But at this point, liberty, liberty, I'm just going to go drive my car into a river because you still got to cover me for one more and one. If you're breaking up with me anyway, I'm going to be a crazy ex. Yeah. I'm going to be a crazy ex, Liberty Bibbitty. That's fine.

I'm going to wrap this Volkswagen around a tree. Nice while. I'm going to light it on fire. Oh, no. Well, too soon. Too soon. Sorry, bud. I'm sorry.

But if you want me to go full crazy X, Liberty, Bibbri, I can. And I will. You got one more month with me. That's it. The diner tour kicks off this week, as we will be live at a local diner every Friday throughout the month of April. That's a bad. Let's kick it off this Friday at Wades in Aswego.

I love live broadcasts. Do you? It's fun. Do you? It's somewhere different to be. I just, it's neat. I like being around the, you know, the locals, and I like the awkward interactions and stuff like that.

You know, the normal people that are those diners are like, what the hell are these guys? And we're over there. I like it. I like it. I like it. They don't know what's going on, but we're there. And then our friends will stop by.

All our show fan will pop in and say what's up. It's fun to get out there and see the people. And, I mean, I'm going to eat. And I'm going to get you sausage gravy. That burke. I know it's at the very end, but it's like the holy grail. It's the whole thing is a countdown to that. That was quite possibly the best burger I've ever had my time.

I've gone back for it since. Yeah. We had a burger at Golden's last year that was like he's saying, the best burger ever. And now I'm, anytime I've been in downtown Utica, I'll walk over to Goldens. And I'll just sit there by myself and eat a damn burger. All right, so we'll see you guys this Friday. Over a Waves, we'll be there from six to nine. Woo!

O-69. Oh, 669. Oh, I see what you know about her. Hey. The juicy George, man. Is that it? Is that it? Is that the name?

Yeah. So, speaking of foods, have you watched really any baseball yet? Have you gotten in any baseball mood? Yeah, yeah. A little bit's here and there. Reading this article about some of the crazy food. I always love every year the snacks they come up with.

Yes, they have some wild concoctions, man. We've talked about the 9-99, which ended up already causing controversy because it's not full-sized dogs or full-sized beers. Well, I think it's Major League ballparks taking advantage of a trend. They can't legally serve you nine beers in a game. That and they want to make themselves as much money as possible, so they're not going to give you nine hot dogs. Or if they did get to sell you, that it would be like $75.

Yes. That was like somewhere. The Otani Cup did that. They had to change the price. There was an Otani Cup that the Dodgers had available that was like a hundred-something dollars just to get it. It was just a fancy cup? Yep, just a cup. They had number 17 on it.

It looked like his jersey. Well, in LA, they could probably afford that. Right. Some of the foods you can try around town. Let's go to the Arizona Diamondbacks. They're taking me out to the ball game shake. It is a milkshake with whipped cream. peanut butter, sandwich cookies, and

Cracker Jacks. I have a feeling... You can't do dairy, I can't do that much dairy. I have a feeling the Cracker Jacks are not going to hold up in... And what are sandwich cookies? You mean like Oreos maybe? Right.

They're in there? Houston Astros. And I used to poo-poo this combo, but it's actually a pretty good combo. Brisket donuts. I used to put in a burger on a donut. I used to like, ew, I don't want to, but it's actually really good. That's one of the things I get at the fair. The brisket is inside a donut, which is then covered with barbecue sauce and then some mac and cheese.

I mean, I'm picking it up. You're eating it with a fork. Yeah, I don't want the mac and cheese on it, though. Kyle says that Otani Cup is free refills for the year, though. So you got to bring it to every game. I got to bring my cup back. You got to bring a cup back with you. Now, this was my nickname in college, the Glezilla.

Oh, boy. Colorado Rockies, two-foot hot dog covered in whatever toppings you like. Oh, my God. It's awful. So much hot dog. So much hot dog. And then I don't know if it's covered with something. How are you going to pick that up?

A big chili, chili, cheek dog. Well, what do you, how do you even say it's not? Yeah. I just want the dog in the bun. You're still sitting at your seat like this. You know, I've done that? I'll post that photo again if I have to. It's me with a two foot hot dog.

Is it a two foot hot, really? Did I miss that? Hold on a second. I mean. I've definitely shown you this. I'm sure I have because it's ringing a little bell, but all I can think of is my favorite story is, of you.

eating the corn dog. A foot long odd dog. Yeah. In 130 seconds. And shocking. Uh-huh. Your wife's parents. Yeah. If you don't know that story, we were at the fair.

Would you throw it out? Dating my wife at the time. And we were with her parents, and we were leaving the fair. No, it didn't. And there was a two-foot corn dog stand on the way out. Oh, two-foot two-two. Sorry, sorry. Was it, or was a foot?

I don't even. It must have been a two-foot. It was a big two-foot corn dog. Yeah. And I bought it. And I bought it. start walking out to the parking lot by the time we get to the car, naturally the dog's gone.

Naturally. My in-law's like, oh, did you throw out? Oh, you didn't have to throw him. No, I did not. I ate completely. I ate it it a whole thing. I eat it did it all in it. I eat it all in it.

The whole thing. I'll find you that photo of me with a two-foot dog. I got it in Connecticut. It was delightful. I'll eat it again if I can. Oh, man. The Schwarbaum? Is that a player?

Schwar-Bah. Phillies. Oh, okay. Yeah, Kyle, uh, Schwarm, Schwarmor. Yeah. The Schwabombeam Sunday is a mini helmet of ice cream,

which we love. Yes. Topped with a funnel cake fried, uncrustable, strawberry sauce. Huh? And fruity cereal. You want to see what it looks like?

What? It's an ice cream sundae. Oh. And then the ice cream's in there with a donut in there. And then the, that's actually an uncrustable that's been deep fried. Okay. All right.

Yeah, now I'm in. That sounds good. I love that, man. That used to be, like, the best thing ever over at the... Friendlies or wherever you'd get it. No, no, at the ballpark for Sky Chiefs games or Chiefs games, they used to do MLB ones. Oh, yeah.

MLB ones. I used to collect a couple of them, and I remember I absolutely got a Braves one once. Ice cream just tastes better when it comes out of a little mini helmet. Yeah, when you put it in some plastic. The Miami Marlins and the Chicago White Sox are doing something called the Machete. Karnayasada Kasedia

2 feet long Okay On a dog? No, it's just the machete Here's the dog It's just a long Casidia That looks kind of like a blade

of a machete It comes in a box Like that All right Okay Okay, I like that That's cool And I agree with Cousin J

Why are we just going Mini Helmets? Let's go full-size helmets And put some ice cream in there Aren't there some that Probably It's probably a challenge Yeah there's somewhere

That I've seen that But Yeah, that That's interesting because that is just, that's a very easy one to do at home. You just find yourself the biggest ass burrito shell. Shell you can find and all they did was flip it. Yeah. That was it.

I don't know. Okay. Okay. And this one I think you invented at your house. You've done this. The smores cassidia, the Kansas City of Royals, it's a cassidia. Inside is Nutella, marshmallow fluff, and grandcracker crumbs. Oh, man.

Then it is topped with a strawberry pico de Gaia. Oh. right here. Wait, what? It's a, if they're using pico, but it's strawberries. That's a pico to guy

I can hang with. Strawberries? Yeah. That was. Awesome. No, for a while, I was,

I had perfected the peanut butter and jelly cassidia. Yeah, and your little crimper thing. Yep, I had figured out the right amount and like what you do and what you put on the outsides

so everything stays in. It was hard. It was a hard process to figure out because you put in too much or too little squeezing out the sides. You go, it's,

You're just eating tortilla, but like you said, too much. And it's the most boiling, hot, jelly mess. It's a delicate dance. You cannot eat it with no shirt on. It's a delicate dance. Take that visual with you to the bank, all right? You can get the show on demand wherever you download your favorite podcast. Type in K Rock the show and boom.

There we are. How do you do? Pretty good. How you do? Pretty good. Don't pretty good there, bud. Don't pretty good. How you don't?

Don't pretty good there. I don't know much about how vehicles work. But there's a rumor going around that there's gas stations diluting the gas. Oh, you've got to be careful. And what in that room? Cars? Yeah, you can't. That's a problem for a couple places that I know of in particular.

Did that. They get in trouble? And got in trouble for that. And also a place that did it is the one, it's close. So I can talk about it. The one that's on Thompson Road over there that there's like that Burger King and a couple other places. They were doing it there.

And they also, but what sucks is they had the other than. I'll say allegedly in case we can't say that, but I don't know. They're all shut down. So I don't know the name. I'm not, I don't even remember the name of the place. But other than nice and easy's pizza, they had like the best gas station pizza, man. Oh, they did. They did.

You go there for it. But I don't know. The EPA is planning to allow stations to cut gasoline with ethanol in May. What does that mean, though? We don't like ethanol, right? Doesn't that hurt your engine? I don't know. I'm not smart enough for that.

You know how when you're at the gas pump? Yeah. It'll say like 87, 89, octane, all that. Yeah. The higher that number goes, the less ethanol, I believe, is in it. So if you have, like, a performance engine, you don't want ethanol because that messes up your vehicle. Where's Joe? Is Joe in there?

He's probably at work by now. Is that no good? That's bad, right? I don't think we want more ethanol, right? It sounds like you can have some, but. What it sounds like is that the reason they're going to do it is because it's going to make you use more gas so they get our asses to the pumps more than they already are because you know that's the reason for every goddamn thing is how much money we spend on gas and how much oil they can give us. Well, gas is up like a dollar per gallon across the country in these last 30 days. So they're trying to find a way to get the gas to go further.

There is a rumor on social media that gas is being diluted to stretch the supply, and drivers are now noticing that they are getting less fuel mileage. Cutting gasoline with ethanol reduces fuel costs and lowers greenhouse gas emissions, as ethanol is often cheaper. I don't know. However, ethanol contains 30% less energy per unit volume and can cause fuel system corrosion or damage to small engines. I don't know. I don't know. This isn't good, right? I don't know. I'm not buying any of these companies doing anything to help us. No, it's about profits. Absolutely not.

The EPA announced they're planning to tweak the rules. Is he here? Thanks. Tweak the rules on May 1st to allow more gas stations to cut gasoline with ethanol to make it cheaper, but it also yields less power. The idea is fortifying the domestic fuel. fuel supply, and that's just a temporary thing from May 1st to May 20th. Oh, so it sounds like it's an option? So confusing. I don't know.

I never understand things. It's not like I'm taking care of my car really as much. It's doing damage. Yeah, that's what I mean. I don't, if it's like having water in your car, but not. I don't know. I don't know anything about things. You guys are out there in the world?

What is it? Are they doing it? Are they doing it? Are we in trouble? Do they have to tell me if they're doing it? Like, the gas station has say this has more ethanol in it? Like, I should be able to know that, right? Is it going to be different numbers at the pump now?

Like, 88 or whatever? Tell me something. Oh. Limbiscuit. Good morning. This is K. Rock. I posted a video because it was the anniversary on our Facebook page of when we peaked as a society was when Fred Durst blew up a boat during MTV Spring Break in 1999.

Remember that? It's on the K-Rock Facebook page. I kind of do. He was performing on the show. And he got to the end of the show And he was like, I'm going to blow this boat up Yeah, and it just did You'll want to blow his boat up! And it was just on fire.

And then he just hit a thing and it blew up. I feel like that was our peak as a society, 1999 spring break on MTV. That was our peak society. All the spring breaks from MTV, yes. That was it. What about his boat up? Little did we know.

Little did we know that it was all downhill from there, guys. Oh, well, good morning, everybody. 315364-101. Of course, Ket Rock Texan. I encourage you to jump in our Twitch or YouTube stream. Do it. Because coming up here in a few minutes, TNA champion. Mike Santana is in studio. Coming off of, well, an incident Friday with Steve Macklin. We'll ask him about that.

He's going to be coming to town here. Thursday night impact. These are TV tapes. Yeah, this isn't a house show. It's not just like, oh, yeah, W.D.B. Coming through with a house show. It doesn't mean nothing. They're going to have fun.

No, this is a TV taping. is the last time wrestling taped or aired anything from Syracuse. Bro, I didn't get to go through that Raw that was here way back when Austin was corporate for a minute and then threw all the stuff out into the crowd. That's the last time I can think of. I'm sure there were others maybe when last time T&A was here, but really, man. And T&A airs on A&E, what is it? Is it AMC? AmC or AME?

What one are they air on? AMC, I think. Yeah. Whatever the movie one is. Yeah, cool, cool, cool. So that's neat. No, I've been watching some Santana matches. He's really good.

Oh, he's one of my favorites. He's really good. Yes, I like, because it's one of the things when you do this job a bunch, you meet a bunch of musicians. You don't always get jaded to it. But there's a point you're like, it's professional. How are you doing? Yeah.

There's one of my favorites. Very excited to have our guest in studio, TNA champion. Mike Santana, what's up, Mike? How you doing? Good morning, good morning. We are good, man. Honored to have you in here. I told you before you sat down that Cody's,

actually paid to meet you before. And now you're... I have a little roller. Here it is, John. Now I invaded your little office. Yeah, I love it. So you will be coming to town for... It's kind of a big deal.

We can't remember the last time a TV taping has happened in Syracuse. And you're doing two nights with T&A Thursday Night Impact. You can get tickets to this. It's Tuesday, April 14th, Wednesday, April 15th, filming right here in Syracuse. What are those shows like, those Thursday Night Impact shows? I mean, man, it's constant energy from beginning to... end, crowds are always rowdy, where everybody's putting out their very best, especially now that we have this new TV deal with AMC, like we're trying to deliver the very best TV show that

we possibly can. So everybody's on point. It's total non-stop action, you know what I mean? I love it. Let's go back to Friday. I know you've made a statement on the Steve Macklin incident. Just kind of an accidental thing. I love people like to say, wrestling's fake.

Well, sometimes it's something happens, but everybody's good, you said? Oh, yeah, everybody's thankfully great. I communicated with Steve, you know, since Friday. Everything is good. And, again, man, I can't put over enough the constant professionalism from T&A, from the referee. And just everyone involved, man, like it. I feel like the situation was handled right away. And it prevented, you know, something that could have been very bad for everyone involved.

Yeah, you could see her get in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But thankfully, you know, again, we all react. It was professionals doing professional stuff. Right. You know what I mean? And thankfully, everyone is good and time to move forward. So we're talking to Mike Santana, T&A champion Mike Santana.

What has it been like going from, you know, tag teams to just these singles matches you've been doing? It's been great. I mean, the journey has been awesome. The past two and a half years since I've been back from my injury, like, it's been such a great learning experience. and like you said, going from tag team to singles wrestling, it's a huge transition. And of course, tag team wrestling, you get to tag out. Yeah, you get a little time to breathe,

but now it's all on you, right? And you've got to keep that crowd rocking from beginning to end. But I've always been one to embrace new challenges and new chapters of life. So this is just one of those things. And I like to say I've been pretty successful. Yeah, you're sitting here in the belt. Sitting here is world champion, man.

But that's just a testament to, you know, the work that I've been putting in. And again, like, this is my life. Yeah. This is my passion. This is how my daughter eats. You know, so I'm going to put in the very best that I can every time I'm out there. We like to say that the world is a simulation. It's no joke.

In an hour from now, we're also interviewing Chris Jericho for a totally separate reason. Tell Jericho, I say, what's up? His band quarantine is coming to town. Oh, right. So to have you and Jericho on the same day, totally wild. But let's talk about your daughter. Let's talk about family and kind of working that into the storylines. I see you bring her in the ring from time to time.

She's a very important part of your story. Absolutely. She is the reason why I'm here today. She's the reason why I'm the world champion today. As I've been open about, I had a struggle with addiction while I was out with my injury. and, you know, I said my rock bottom was her, you know, coming to the realization that I had a problem, and she wrote that Santa letter one Christmas, and that was the slap in the face that I needed, you know, and thankfully it was just that, you know, and, you know, some people's rock bottoms are different,

right? But thankfully, it was, you know, it was the realization of like, man, I can't give my daughter the same life that I grew up living, you know, and that's just not what we do. And, yeah, and that was the motivation that I needed and I went to rehab. I got better and got to work. We're over a thousand days now, right? Yeah, I have a thousand, 34 days today. Yeah, and you work, these are being worked into storylines and I feel like you're kind of using your voice to talk to maybe other people who might need help, right? Absolutely. Absolutely. I think it's important because, you know, I feel like addiction is something that is looked at as something shameful sometimes, you know what I mean? And a lot of people aren't very open about it.

And I think for me personally, it's become my superpower. Yeah. You know, and everything that I've, like I've always said, before I go out to the ring, I try to reflect and think back of all the things that I've struggled with and the things that I've endured and it's my motivation, you know. Yeah. We're talking to Mike Santana, TNA champion Mike Santana, and let's talk about TNA. Because it would be easy to say, all right, well, there's a couple bigger wrestling promotions

out there, why even try. But this last year of TNA, year and a half, I don't know when the TV deal happened, but it just feels like TNA is everywhere. It's getting guys like you, Hardee's are over there. Like, it's getting a lot of guests. Talk about the promotion, the company. I mean, it's been great.

So I came back in April of 2024, and that was right before the whole WWE and TNA partnership was going on. And there was already some, like, rumblings happening, right? And we were getting some good steam, and we came back to using the TNA name. Yeah. And that got a lot of attention. But then once things started getting rolling and the announcement happened with the partnership, right?

That started blowing up even more, right? And we started having a lot of integrations from both shows. And then, boom, we started breaking records. We, I main evented two of the biggest shows in TNA history, right? Which was slam anniversary at UBS Arena. and then Bound for Glory in Boston. Yeah. So, yeah, we just kept that ball rolling.

It was just a huge snowball effect, and everybody was just motivated. The good thing about TNA is that everyone back there has a common mindset of putting the show first. Let's get this show going. Let's make this show the very best we can possible. And that's been our secret, you know what I mean, is everyone with the common mindset. But, yeah, things have been rolling. And ultimately that led to AMC. Yeah, it's been a weird time to be a wrestling fan because I'm 44.

I grew up during like the Monday Night Wars and stuff. Oh, yeah, same. You never worked with other promotions. And it wasn't guys going back and forth. The forbidden door. It's forbidden and now like guys will even drop gimmick for interviews and stuff. Do you, how do you feel the differences from what we grew up in to now? I mean, man, like.

More opportunity, right? More opportunity, which is great, right? More chance for the guys and girls to make a great living, and you can't fault that, right? But I think the beauty of today and back then was the unpredictability. Yeah. I think that's what makes it exciting, right? Back then, you didn't know who was going to show up. Yeah.

You didn't know what was going to happen on the Monday night, right? And I feel like it's the same today. You don't know who's going to show up. You don't know what's going to happen. There's just so much, like, there's literally wrestling on TV. Every night of the week. And it's amazing. It's the best.

What time, like we, as wrestling fans, this is the greatest time. We're in the golden age, man. 100%, 100%. And I think it's even greater, like, to be in it and to, like, witness it from the inside and see how exciting it's been, right? But as far as, like, back then and now, man, like, it's, I feel like it's better now. It's the golden age. We have two or three indie promotions around here that are doing great numbers, too. like wrestling is is having a moment.

100%, 100%. And it's up to us to capitalize on it, right? Because like with anything, everything is secular, right? Yeah. Everything has its ups and its downs. And right now it's been on a constant up and is up to us to continue that momentum. Guys, be a part of this.

You're not going to be disappointed. Two opportunities. That's going to be fun. To see Thursday night impact that is being taped over at the OnCenter, Tuesday, April 14th, Wednesday, April 15th. You will be there, Mike. I know.

Who else is going to be on that? Bill. We have moose on here? He's going to be there? You have Moose. You have the Hardee's. You have Nick Nemeth. You have Mustafa Lee. You have, I mean, our roster right now, I feel like it's stacked. And there's so much talent. And so many guys and girls with great experience. And, yeah, we're going to have a great show.

Get your tickets. Now, Mike Santana, T&A champion. So nice to meet you, man. Thank you for coming in and making time. Likewise. Thank you. We appreciate it. Joe Stanley has challenged Mike Santana to the belt. So Joe Stanley will be wrestling Mike Santana. Absolutely.

When Joe got here, Mike laughed. He ran away scared. Just saying. Joe Stanley is here. Stanley Law, the maximum award people. We were just sharing before we came on mics. Just, you know, fun things that judges say. And you have an example of a fun thing a judge said recently.

Right, yeah. This is two appellate judges arguing with each other. Federal appellate judges over the Olympic spa case. I think it was one of the appellate courts in the western part of the country. and we're arguing over seeing swinging body parts in the spa. People should be exposed to them,

but they use different terminology. A judge said swinging, then the D word, yeah. And the other judge said, well, you can just cover it up. Yes,

that's true. I would love to know the things you've heard judges say. I probably could say I've heard a few things. Usually they don't write those in decisions, but, you know, they're just feeling Lucy Goosey talking about

male genitalia. But now you have a lot of, a quiz for us, Joe. Go ahead. Yes. This founder of an animal rights group out in California, he was charged with conspiring to kidnap his employee. Now, you say, why was he doing that? Why was he charged with doing that? He was going to kidnap an employee. So, was he going to put him in like an animal cage of some kind? That's what I was going to say. That's what he was going to do. But why was he going to do? Why was he going to do? Why would he want to kidnap an employee? I was just, is it going to be a prank that's gone bad?

Or like an insurance claim? No, no, this is a real, you're getting closer. Does he get to like claim something in? Like his life insurance money or something? No, it's close. He got a $6.7 million verdict against him for wrongful termination and harassment. So he didn't, apparently he didn't like the verdict. He was going to kidnap the guy?

What did he think that was going to do? Can't do that. Yeah. I heard you can't do that. I don't know. of these criminals just don't think things through. Like, it's not like he's carrying the 6.7 million on or whatever, and you get it back. Now you just got another lawsuit against him.

Right, boy, boy, we're going away for a while. Stanley Law, the maximum award people. Joe Stanley, always good to see you, man. Thank you. Thank you. Is it the fairgrounds? That's, yeah, that's the one if you. That's the one they're closing.

Yeah, so watch out for. All right. 690 ramp closure, check that out. So now there's another one. All right. Hey, I like, it's just all of them. all the time. It's okay.

It's fine. It's okay. Everything's fine. And it's about to be summer, so it's going to get even busier with construction. I was lucky. I had to get off at the last second. I was going to run out of gas. I didn't realize on a Saturday

690 was balls. Whoa. And I, my light, I was going to get gas after I dropped off Elsa, my light already stopped telling me. It was like, I've done all I can do. I can do anything else.

I told you how many miles you have left. And now there's so little that I cannot compute. And I got, and I was, and then I hit the traffic jam. And I went, uh-oh. Like, it started to give me like rumble guts. I started to sweat. Yeah, I get that feeling. I'm going to run out of gas at a traffic jam.

There's not going to be anything I can do. Nothing you can do. It'll be hours before. It worked out. See? Yeah, I got off the hospital. Tonight on your journal, you're going to write down that it almost went bad, but it actually.

Mike out. My to-da-lis. Your ta-da-lis. The things I do to-da. Your ta-da-lis. All right, radio world, we'll hand you off to the 90s at 9. We cooked right along today. Oh.

Okay. And then we will get into your gaming stream. Presented by Ryan Phelps Auto Sales. You are buying with Ryan. Locations all over Central New York, including in Rome. Now open in Rome. You are buying high flying, profiling, styling, styling with Ryan Phelps auto sales. Now is the time to get a new car.

Now you get a new car. You get a rip around. downtown. Now you get one, yeah. Put your arm out the side. Dude, see how big your muscles. Maybe you get one of those jeeps with the doors that comes off. You're out there just everything's out.

Oh, man. Just everything's out. I wish. If I had one of those, I would, nothing. There'd be nothing on it. You could achieve that dream. I'm going to put that on your wish. Oh, my todatlas.

On your ta-dala, I'm going to put that on your vision board. Frank had one of those. It was awesome. Yeah. It used to take everything off of it. No doors, no top, nothing. Seemed very safe, yeah. I really, I never understood how that's legal.

Like, that makes no sense. You've got roll bars and you're supposed to be buckled up. But like that's it? So doors aren't mandatory for cars is basically what's that saying. When you say it like that, yeah. There are loopholes around doors. Or like the UPS guys driving around the doors wide open. That is true.

Doors are optional, guys. You don't need backs of them or anything. Backs and doors are optional on vehicles apparently. All right. Radio World, you get the 90s and I'm kicking off with some kick. Your arms around me. I need to feel your touch. Don't know.
