The Show - PLASMA TORNADO

Episode Date: October 14, 2025

Not only is Josh a TB survivor, he’s also a burger assault survivor. We get in to a High Strangeness with a real-life time traveler. The movies scientifically proven to scare us the most. Plus so much more on a Tuesdee!

We interrupt this program. Previously, critics had brailed against the duo as crude, dumb, ugly, thoughtless, sexist, self-destructive, and foolish. They are not part of the legitimate business world. What they do is they celebrate underachievement. And all candor, I would tell you it's outrageous, Phil. And if I could find some way constitutionally to do away with it, I would. Oh. All right.

All right. Enjoying the cooler weather? All right. Happy Tuesday. October 14th. Just about halfway through the month already. Hope you're soaking up all that Halloween fun. Get it all up in you.

Drinking it all in. Drinking it all in. Drinking in. Drinking in. Who's in chat? We got packs. We got Mickey. Sugar lifts.

Devin's there. Sarah B. Donkey. Pink. T.K. Everybody checking in. Right. early on Tuesday.

Right. Wow. Coming off of Bill's loss, unfortunately. What happened last night? What a couple of games. This year seems to be a little bit harder to make Josh Allen, you know, do everything. And the defense isn't as good. Yeah.

So. Didn't we lose somebody? Who did we lose? Didn't somebody go somewhere else? I mean, they got rid of a lot of older players. All right. a couple of pieces on offense, but and James Cook wasn't as effective.

It was just, it's kind of like that perfect storm down in Hot Atlanta. Then the Bears won last night? By a dang field goal. That's been happening a lot. Couldn't even give Mama Mac a birthday win. Aw, what did she have a, is the other team as her team?

The commanders. That's her team, that's right, yep, you're right. Yeah, she's always been a Washington fan. Why? How did that happen? I don't know. Very weird. Very weird.

She's always been very much in the Native American culture. Loves Joe Seisman. Loves it. All right. Big Joe Thysman gal. Yeah, it is a Tuesday. What will we get into? Well, the Baldwin's hit a tree last night, so I'll play that clip.

Did you see this stupid-ass outfit, Stephen Paul? They're just like, yeah, it's just like, go away. Alex's weird disheveled look, which you know that after he hit the tree, he made him look disheveled to make it look like I was disheveled and then I was in a frantic base and then I hit the tree. They just look like two Long Island teens getting into shenanigans

and Stevens dressed like I don't know like a hipster holo. I heard the tree. You heard that tree. And then he said like he didn't say much, he just said this. Cheese but I got cheese butter got cheese leg out cheese like that. No. That's what he said. This morning I was in this car accident guy cut me off in a truck. A big garbage truck

I made a garbage truck the size of a whale. All right, good. That's weird. It kind of sounds like the biggest garbage truck. I've never seen a garbage truck. It must have been something commercial for like taking away material from construction or something. It was the biggest garbage truck I've ever seen any. Anyway, to avoid hitting him, I had a tree.

I hit a big fat tree and crushed my car, my wife's car. That's all fine and I'm fine and my brother's fine. How you say? My wife's car is pretty smashed up. Big tree, big fat tree. How you say Fabrication I say

I say Big Fat 3 Oh my gosh Wow He is just got He's the ultimate Just grifter He's just gonna

He's just gotta be like It's the biggest I'm the biggest garbage I've never seen My life I've never seen a bigger garbage In my life It's like there's a class for that

Yeah like what are we doing And so It's like there's a class for weird gas lighting We'll get into a huge High Strangeness today I got a ton of audio for this one so we'll get into that at 7 o'clock. Look at Ash in our Twitch chat.

I moved to Jacksonville, Florida, from Syracuse, and I've made Josh and Cody fans out of all my coworkers. Thank you, Ash. Well, howdy y'all? Howdy Jacksonville, Florida? Some of y'all down there got the right sense of mind. We're Jacksonville's number one morning radio program. No, I think that we'd be far.

I don't, I mean. Far too outside of Jacksonville. I mean, maybe they like that. Oh, then she says no one talks like that down in Jacksonville. Well, you ain't in Jacksonville. I think we know better than you, as. Tell you right now. I don't know what that voice is.

That's just one of those where I can't help, but keep doing it. I realized last night that I've lost track of what streaming things are, where, and they're all blending together in my brain. It's a weird thing that's happening. Yeah, it's hard. I 100% can't tell you the difference between HBO and Apple TV. anymore. Those are all the same shows in my brain for some reason. That's one of

the reasons I have a hard time following up on watching shows. I'll see something somewhere and then be like, I don't remember where that was. Don't remember. Couldn't tell you. Because Apple TV Plus announced that now they're just going to be Apple TV. Okay. See, we're doing this now.

We're HBO Max plus extras. Now it's just HBO Max? They're trying to make it as easy as possible probably with Like one word that way when it's combined into whatever conglomerate that two or three of these are all going to turn themselves into eventually to form a nice little monopoly. It'll be easy for you to not care. Apple B.O. or a mount and flicks? You know, just it'll be Apple flicks.

Apple flicks. Just something, you know what I mean? It's going to be something easy when the couple of them all bend us over and be like, well, I'm sorry. I don't have to tell you. you can either have the Hulu service with all these, the Netflix service with all these, or the Apple TV service with all these. Unless you want it, the only way to get everything

is to pay like $1,000. You know what I mean? Yeah, but then they're going to do what they're doing already, which is, yeah, yeah, yeah, you can get the Apple TV. Yeah. But do you want the exclusive events? You got to get Apple TV plus. Yeah, they're making it all so eventually

when they turn it back into cable, like we've been saying forever. that way they can just be like, yeah, no, this one has already got, look at the Hulu one has already got ESPN Plus. Right, right. And so you might as well just get the Hulu version. That one will have all of these,

but you'll be missing out on Netflix because they're eventually going to get us. Because last night I wanted to watch something. I didn't know what I wanted to watch. And then I decided I wanted to watch the first episode of Tim Robinson's The Chair Company. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And my brain wouldn't differentiate

exactly what's going on right now to you. No, I was just going to say it. Where is it? Where is it? You're a massive Tim Robinson fan. Where is it? Because I'm picturing it in my head, but I'm picturing it on prime. Yep.

Nope. You're wrong. This is what I went through last night. This is what I went through because I knew it wasn't Netflix. I know I'm like, all right, that's where Detroiters and I think you should leave is. It was on a different one. I know it's on a different one. So I got rid of it.

Nope. I just said that. Yep, you did. That was me last. night as I stood in my bedroom going, all right, it's got, is there a silver logo near it? What am I seeing? And I could have

just Googled that I know. I'm Google. I don't care. I don't care. Yeah. It doesn't even. You'll find it. Oh, HBO, HBO, HBO. I said you have a panic attack. It's not on just the front page of Google. No, because

here was me. I was like, all right. It's not on. Like you, I was like, I know it's not Netflix. I didn't think it was prime. I was like, maybe it's a Hulu one? And it wasn't there. And then I go, okay, it's one of the silver ones. Not that I don't think, I don't even think HBO Max is silver.

But in my brain, it's like a silver. Yeah. And I go, all right, I think it's one of the silver ones. It's either HBO or it's Apple Plus or whatever, Apple TV. Huh. Yeah. And I tried Apple TV. It wasn't that.

I eventually landed on HBO and I watched the first episode. Loved it. It was great. But that was my brain, like everything is melding. All these stream. services are melding into one big, like you know when you have a bag of gummy bears and they melt in your car and it becomes

one big kind of mixed up gummy bear? That's what all these streaming services are. Then you have to cut them into strips with the scissors. Yep. Yep. Because I don't understand why Tim Robinson is allowed to have shows on multiple... I know, but like, wouldn't Netflix be like, no, we'll make

the chair company, but they don't want the chair company so this other place makes it? He probably shopped it. A whole different show. True. It's true. And if you don't have that, like the, like, I don't know, the deal that Adam Sandler has, but, you know, he has to have five or whatever for Netflix. If he doesn't have anything like that, he could just be like, I have a show.

It's true. That is true. Yeah, he can chop it around if he doesn't have that sweet Adam Sandler exclusivity deal. Which I'm sure he's making pretty decent off of these now, just because they're all, everything he's doing is exploding. Mm-hmm. So. Well, they're only doing episode.

because it's HBO it's one episode a week. Oh, yes. So only one has come out and I can tell you that I enjoyed the first episode of it. It's very fun. It's kind of like a mystery, but it's like I think you should leave,

but like with a mystery element, but it's written like I think you should leave and the dialogue is similar. I like it. So if you're a fan of that, the chair company. His mannerisms are just good. He's got a lot of those manorisms. Susan, I told you, I cannot watch.

I cannot watch that John Camer. documentary. I'm going to be crying my eyes up. Not ready for it. Yeah, you had any way? Wait till... That seems like it's a good, like, Thanksgiving and after. You know what I mean? It's cold. You know, it's like a cold Saturday or something.

That's what his past weekend was. It was good, like, snuggle up on a blanket watch a show. Then you can watch a couple of his movies. That type deal. Well, let's hear for Ray Ray, everybody. Ray, Ray the cat. Traveled 100 miles clinging to the roof of a family's van.

What's all these cats going for drives lately, man? Where do they think they're Toot's? Get out. Tunes is the driving cat. A family in Pennsylvania went on a road trip. And about 100 miles in, they pulled over for gas. That's when they realized their cat Ray Ray. Unreal. Was along for the ride clinging to the roof.

They had one of those soft cargo carriers, I guess. Yeah. Ray Ray was holding on to the fabric. Oh my god. Scared to death. A hundred miles is like hours. That's insane. They were driving around 70 miles an hour down the freeway.

Nobody like beeped at them or anything. Maybe he was just like hidden. Or maybe he was underneath it. Ray Ray was unfazed. So they decided just to continue on and bring them along for an epic vacation, which included a marathon in New Hampshire and then going to New York City to see Hamilton. They went to a pet store, got him a little bit of, box in one of those cat backpacks and started sharing Ray Ray's vacation on social media.

Wow, man. That's crazy. That's a lucky cat, man. Ray Ray is an indoor, outdoor cat. They snuck them into the Airbnb. They did not have proof of that. But, you know, they can do whatever they want to do. Yeah, who cares?

Ray, is a survivor. You used to sneak my little tiny dog Harold into the hotels all the time back in the day. Well, hotels would say no dogs? How would you do it, like luggage? Yeah, you just wait and do you go check in and leave him in the car? and then you go back and you grab him, throw his ass in a bag, and walk him right up in a there, and he wouldn't bark or anything.

Ray Ray is just a single cat who works two jobs. Loves his kids never stops. Never stops. Hi, mom, meow, yeah. You guys, what are you doing? Are you listening to Big Smoothie in the afternoons? Yes, but only for the few minutes it takes me to complete. Yep.

K-Rock presents in this moment with Day Seeker, the funeral portrait and dead. Day Seekers a fun band, if you guys ever heard of them. That's going to be a hell of a show over to Landmark Theater on October 26th. And all this week, big smoothies putting you in that big row. It's a Halloween masquerade at the concert. Oh, that's going to be a cool show. Where your best costumes, top three costumes will get to go on stage.

And a grand prize winner will receive a special in this moment Halloween prize package. Wow. And a photo with Maria Brink. Lovely Maria. That's cool, man. That's going to be a fun night. Get him a Ticketmaster.com. Of course, smoothie's got him all this week.

Be listening, yeah. That's a heck of a lineup, man. The funeral portrait, dad, day seeker, and in this moment, get all there. That's a very cool show. Well, a man in Florida, which is where everything starts. He's facing battery charges after allegedly hurling a cheeseburger at a man. Geeburger, Che burger, Cheat burger, Cheat burger, Mr. Baldwin, G, Mr. Baldwin.

I didn't have that clip ready to go fast enough. That's okay. But he did do it. Oh, here's. Cheese butter, cheese butter, cheese, legger, cheese, luggage, cheese, burger, investigators say Jordan Cotto was arguing with someone at a strip club, and he threw a burger at them from his car. So it was a drive-by-burgering?

Oh, drive-by burger. Now, as someone who has been assaulted by a cheeseburger, I can tell you. I've always forget that that's happened. As a cheeseburger survivor. You are a cheeseburger survivor, too, man. As a cheeseburger survivor. The trials and tribulations of your life. Bro, I've survived tuberculosis,

cheeseburger assault, your toe thing, whatever that was. Your foot. My foot, I mean, my ankle, yeah, dude. You don't even know what it's like. I mean. Susan, if you don't remember the story, when I worked at McDonald's at Great Northern Mall,

there was an area where you cleaned the trays and it was right inside the door and some woman was not happy. There was something on a burger, onions or pickles or whatever. and I was just cleaning the trays, and she walked up to me and threw the burger right at me, and I go, huh.

Well, that was like 16, so. Those are the days. I was bludgeoned by a burger. During the argument, Jordan allegedly grabbed a cheeseburger from his vehicle, so we already had it. It was already in there. I was going to say, did he get it from the strip club? Because I'm telling you, do not ever underestimate strip club kitchens.

Hell yeah. It's not the strippers making the food. No. Grinding on you and grinding. their genitals on your fries. But I wish it was. I wish it was. It can.

I'm sure for a price. I want one of those open kitchens at the strip club where they're nude. Yeah. But they're also... You can see... Yep. ...thoropting tots, putting burgs down. I'd watch that.

I did smash birds last night, as a matter of fact. Did you give a while? I... Dude... I'll go back to the store in a second. Yes. But I made a terrible miscalculation. Uh-oh.

I bought the ground beef. Okay. Only three out of four. four of us in the house eat meat. Our oldest does not eat meat. So I was like, all right, I'll just divide this meat into thirds and make three patties. They were like the size of butter. Hell yeah.

So big. That's awesome. They were leaning off the bun by so much. I was like, I'm sorry these patties. I should have just made four. No, that's awesome. I should have just made four patties. Oh, that's the best.

So what? It was probably good. It was so damn good. They were banging smashburgs. Yeah, the oil splatter would. Yeah, I get it. Yeah, that's true. That's true.

When, uh, although I do find it sexy when ladies are naked under an apron. So if they can wear an apron and just have that side boob, I'd be fine with that. I don't think I've ever had it happen, uh, enough or at all to have an opinion on it. I'd have, I mean, yes, it would absolutely be, uh, hot, but. And then when they turn around, you might see some butt cheeks, but when they're working the friars. Yeah, then they're okay. Because they will be working the friars. Oh, yeah.

covered. Yeah, they got to be working. When questioned by officers, Jordan admitted to the crime, he said, I did throw a cheeseburger from my vehicle and I would do it again. According to the court documents, he was booked on a misdemeanor judge order to avoid contact with the victim as they investigate. But can you imagine that, though? What? Like that?

Not that I don't think we'd get fired from our jobs here for that. But still, go explain that to Boss Lady, Carrie, Ed, or. Or Ed. Then I threw a cheeseburger or somebody? Oh, I was in jail over the weekend. I got booked on a misdemeanor. I'm throwing a cheeseburger. It's a little being of paper.

You know what I mean? Like, he's going to laugh at you. Ed would laugh at that. Yes. And then the other one you're going to give you very stern talking to. Yeah. We're going to be very embarrassed. Yeah.

Because you got thrown in jail for throwing a cheese burger. But that makes great morning content. So it's really a trade-offs, you know? You know? I'm just more curious about the burger. I haven't even thought about the strippers or the various jokes. If he just had a sit in his car, it was a wrapped up. It was just wrapped up.

Twitch.tv.TV slash K.Rock CMI.M.I. Does that make it premeditated? Uh-huh. Premeditated burger in? Your honor. My client purchased the burger with no plans on allegedly assaulting someone that night. This was his going home burger. He felt in the moment that his life was in danger.

And he used this burger on self-defense. The only way he could get free. So toss that bird. Giving a burger whip. This is not a premeditated burger whipping, sir. This was his going home burger. Objection! It's old corner!

Just salt my gift. Oh, good morning. Happy F Tuesday. The Sputacular Stroll returns Thursday. Long Branch Park. Get your tickets now, sputacular stroll.com. Just do it. What is a...

I keep seeing it. about this Domino's rebrand? Domino's pizza, what are they trying for? I don't know, they always smell delicious when I go to the Walmart there in East Syracuse. I just, I'm at a time where I don't want pizza. It's like, you know, two o'clock in the afternoon. It's not dinner time.

And if I'm getting Domino's, I'm not getting it and saving it for later, you know what I'm a minute. Domino's Global Chief Marketing Officer Kate Trumbull said that while companies typically rebrand themselves when they're struggling. Domino's is doing so after years of category defying growth. Yeah, they really did, man. They had that swing when they rebranded their or redid their pizza where it actually worked. Because their pizza, it was bad.

Were they the ones who just had this commercial out right now where they're like, we never had a stuffed crust or is that little Cesar's? No, it's Domino's. Yeah, okay. I do like that commercial. Because that's smart. We're like, yeah, I hate a Domino's stuffed cross. Like, we never had one.

Never had one. But, yeah, because whenever we had it when we were brewing the beer. Yes, we did, and that did slap you're right. And it was banging. So much like McDonald's has ba-da-ba-p-ba-ba. Yeah. They've released a new tag. Oh, okay.

What? Shaboosy does it. Ready? Dah. Mmm, minnose. Huh? Daum. M-Minoes.

Like, like delicious? Dah. Menoz. I mean, it'll take some ketchup. catching on. All right. It's no Nyeyeye. That ain't no Nye, Jam.

No. But I, I don't know if it needs Domino's, I don't know if it needs a little, the problem with Domino's is it's not that I don't remember Domino's. You know what I mean?

It's not like, I know of it. I'm like, oh yeah, completely I've never even thought about Domino's for pizza. It's that, it's one of those things around here what we say all the time.

We have so much good pizza, phenomenal pizza. It's not really on my radar, yeah. that we're allowed to have Domino's every once in a while because it's still good, but there's a ton of other options. But for the price, are they hot and ready? Do you see what these questions I'm asking are all reasons they got to do better branding, I guess?

That I'm not sure because, again, they're right there in front of the Walmart's there, but I don't know. I mean, you could order it and then do your shopping and then grab it on the way out probably, but I don't know. I really don't think I've had Domino's probably since we had at the brewery years ago. No, absolutely not. I have not. But in college, a Domino's,

Domino's was the one pizzeria that would take our plus plan. Yes. So we'd get the bacon cheeseburger pizza from Domino's delivered. See, we, I don't know if we ever, I mean, we had got Domino's, I'm sure, but we would always get Subshop. Yeah, always Sub Shop. Always Subshop. It was Domino's, Enzo's, or Subshop, they would take Plus Plan.

Or, pardon me. Or what the move was. And this was funny because I was sitting waiting for my sub shop up at Oswego, who spent weekend and I was thinking about it because I can see the pizza place across the street that was still randomly there

and I remember what the move was is that you get, you go full plus plan when you're for your food plan you go full food plan when you get up to Oswego then when the semester starts you reduce your meal plan

and then what you can do is take a giant chunk of that and put it towards the cash part of your plus plan that way you can get a bunch of different stuff and in your stupid an 18 year old brain, you're like, this is so smart. That's my money.

That's my money. You're just, it's just, you're moving numbers around on a giant student loan that you have. Yeah. But we didn't know that. You know what? Back then, it was brilliant because you felt, you felt like an adult kind of because you were in control more of your own. Your destiny, your decisions.

Like your own food and stuff because you could only go to the, the dining hall a couple times. One time a day is mine. Yeah. My freshman year I had unlimited. And I was eating like a big fat pig. Yes. And then I learned this trick that we did.

Yep. And I could only eat once a day, so I'd have to time it out. So I'd go to dinner right at 4.30 because I was starving. Yep. And I would gorge. And then that night I'd get late night at like 10. That was the move. And I'd be good.

I forget what I had. We didn't have one a day. I forget how many was. It was like nine a week maybe. Oh, wow. You made one of those because. You could double up. Because that way on the weekends and stuff, for a couple days, you know, you got to get lunch or whatever.

But then there was a couple days where you didn't get anything or you get plus planned. But you always got late night. Always got late. As soon as that started, no matter what your deal was, you could always still go over there. Everybody's getting pizza slices or a calzone over late night. You got to them. Which again is where in our Twitch chat, Tibbs and I started that tinfoil ball. Yes, you did.

That he eventually had to take home until he was an adult. And his dad was like, dude, we need to throw away the tinfoil ball in the garage. You know, but it's got memories. He's good. Yeah, but, of course it is. It was big. I'm putting my little tiny arms as wide as I can. Imagine the biggest beach ball you can see. That's what he's doing right now.

It was hilarious. All tinfoil. Other side of this, we'll get into a very detailed high strangeness. I've got a lot of audio for this one. It could take a while. So we'll lock in for this. Keep it lock. We got a good one today, folks.

I'm excited. Good morning. This is K. Rock. Hepin Tuesday. You want to do something Halloween. the family, ha, weenie. Spooktacular Stroll

over a Long Branch Park, Thursday through Sunday for the rest of the month. Presented by our upstate Honda dealers, head over to spooktacular stroll.com. So a lot of moms putting hot dogs in the rolls. Oh, wow, nice. Awful. It is time.

Oh, it is time for a high strangeness, my friends. Um, a sight of. Today's high strangeness was a recommendation by showbrough Alex and I've heard this man's story before. Okay. But Showbro Alex DM me over the weekend and said, you should do a high strangeness about

Madman, Mike Markham. Do you know Mike Markham? It depends. So he became like a, an Art Bell coast to coast legend. He was on coast to coast a lot. Okay. I was say it kind of sounds familiar. And you might know a lot of his story because he was an alleged time traveler.

Okay. Then yes, yes. I have heard a couple of those episodes. He called in about... He didn't call in. Art Bell sought him out. Because he heard about this guy who was building a time machine. Gotcha. So the clips I'm going to play today all come from the Y Files on YouTube.

I got to give credit to the Y Files because he did a phenomenal breakdown of Madman Mike Markham. I'll post the entire 40-minute video on our Facebook page if you want to dive in. But all the clips we play today come from the Y Files. Great YouTube channel. Very funny with the hecklefish and all that. Let's start with who was Mike Markham. Mike Markham from Stambury, Missouri was an amateur inventor who liked to tinker. He lacked formal science training, but he had a natural aptitude for electronics.

The back porch of his house looked like a home appliance graveyard. Old TVs, radios, and CD players were all dismantled with their inside spilled everywhere. There were spools of copper wire and magnets of all sizes. His current project was a Jacobs ladder, a device that consists of. of two metal rods, which start close together at the bottom and spread apart as they go up. You know what that is, right? This produces climbing arcs of electricity. But Mike had an idea for a modified version of a Jacobs ladder.

Hovering above the device was a sphere of distorted air. It looked kind of like the wavy mirage you see over a highway on a hot day. But this wasn't some powerful ball of energy. It was hardly visible. If you weren't looking for it, you'd miss it. Unsure what this thing was, or if it was dangerous, Mike tossed a sheet metal screw into the energy field. The screw disappeared.

Mike just stood there for a second confused. He didn't know if the screw got vaporized or what happened. Then the screw fell out of the field and landed on the ground a couple of feet away. Now, he repeated this experiment a few times with the screw, and every time the same result. He tossed the object in, it disappeared for a second or so, then reappeared out of the of the energy field. Now, Mike didn't know if his machine was teleporting objects or possibly sending them a few seconds into the future.

After a few more tests, the machine overloaded. The lasers were dead and the components were fried. Now, even though all that was left of Mike's invention was a burnt-out box of parts, he knew he was onto something. So now he would rebuild the machine, but this time, instead of it being 18 inches tall, he'd build it eight feet tall.

And to do that, He'd need access to a lot more power. And Mike knew exactly how to get it. So Mike is building... Tim Allen. So Mike is building a Jacobs Ladder. He's just this random dude who likes playing with electronics and he has all these old TVs in his garage.

Jacobs Ladder is what you see in like old-timey horror movies or like Frankenstein, whatever. That static that's going up. So he notices, and they mentioned lasers in this, I went in like a three-hour deep dive into Mike Markham yesterday, prepping this segment. So in the W-Files episode, I'll post. They dive it, like you're really into electronics. He dives deep into an explanation that you'll understand.

I edited it out because it was about like pointing lasers at ionized gas and all these things. Yeah, nope, don't understand that there. But Mike seemed to understand it. Yeah. And he was throwing, he noticed like at the top of the Jacobs ladder was like a wavy orb. and he's like just tossed a screw at it, it would disappear and come up somewhere else. The weirdest thing ever.

So now, well, they got to go bigger, right? If that did that, we got to make a bigger one. You got to huck an animal under there. He knew there were six industrial grade transformers just sitting in a yard doing nothing but getting rusty. But that yard was a substation for the King City, Missouri Power Company. So Mike called a couple of friends with pickup trucks, and in broad daylight drove to the substation.

loaded up the Transformers and drove away. A few weeks later, he had his next version of the machine. The transformers were connected to the grid. New lasers were in place, and the wirehanger conductors were upgraded to four-foot-long half-inch metal rods. This thing was a beast. Now, the moment of truth. Mike powered up the machine.

There was a loud crack, a spark, and then nothing. Now, remember, he's running, I don't know if the extra. like what that's like 20,000 volts. It's something absurd. Like the amount of power he's pulling into this thing to make this bigger Jacobs ladder. His whole house went dark.

The new machine knocked out the power. Then Mike looked out the window. He knocked out the power in the whole town. It took some tinkering, but soon Mike was able to get the machine running without causing brownouts all over town. And the machine?

It worked. It created an energy field or vortex a few feet wide. So Mike sent objects through the vortex. But this time, objects weren't reappearing a few seconds later.

They weren't reappearing at all. The object were just vanishing to who knows where. One afternoon, Mike had a few friends over and they were tossing small objects into the energy field.

They wondered, could a big object go through? Well, a few of Mike's buddies got behind the living room couch and pushed. The couch went into the energy vortex and was gone. So now,

they're building these bigger Jacob's ladders and they're seeing these bigger energy vortex has happened. This is high, Strangess. We're talking Madman

Mike Markham. When it was small and he would throw the screw, it would just kind of land nearby. Yeah. And you're going to see the trend that the bigger

he makes these Jacobs ladders, these machines he's working on, and the bigger items he puts through, they reappear on like an east-west trajectory. Meaning they never, he'll explain it in here.

They're just kind of like to one direction of the device, meaning maybe the Earth's rotation impacts it, whatever. Now in this moment, because he did cause a brownout, madman Mike Markham did get arrested because he did steal those transformers. Oh yeah, forgot. Yep, yep. No, that's one of those words. It's funny. Very Oswego County story. You're on the other side of that and a couch hits you.

the head. What the hell was that, right? Where did that even just come from? So now he goes to prison for 60 days because he did get in trouble, but he can't do that. He's on probation for five years or whatever. He gets out, and now he's caught, well, he's looked up by Art Bell, from coast to coast fame. And you and I are radio nerds. We love coast to coast.

Oh, I used to sit over there, your clear shadow when that was out all night in the big, dark, empty building and just grip the desk and hope that no aliens we're going to show up. So now Art Bell finds out about this Mike Markham guy who's allegedly making time travel devices and he wants him on the show, so he tracks him down. From the high desert and the great American Southwest, I bid you all. Good evening, good morning, good afternoon, wherever you may be in the world's time zones,

all of them covered amply by this program coast to coast. A.M. I'm Art Bell. It is my honor and privilege to be escorting you through the second half of the weekend. And what a program. It is going to be tonight. I set out to find young Mr. Markham, and I found him. Michael, are you there? Yeah.

Good. Art Bell interviewed Mike Markham for about an hour and a half on the Coast to Coast radio show. Not only did Mike sound legitimate, but he clearly had considerable knowledge and expertise in electronics. And so did Art Bell. Let's say it's 400 turns in your primary, and say there's 4,000 turns in your secondary. 10 times the turns, then you'll get 10 times of voltage. Right. And he didn't try to fool anyone.

Mike came across as humble. He wasn't looking for fame or attention. In fact, Art Bell is the one who tracked Mike down and convinced him to come on the air. Millions of people listened to that interview that night. And before long, people were calling in with offers. Some had transformers they would donate. Others had property he can use. And plenty of people were ready to financially support Mike in building a new, bigger machine.

you feel about the possibility, Michael, of somebody coming along and being your mentor even more than this, maybe contributing money to build a great big, gigantic version? Oh, that'd be great. I'd be like a dream come true. For the next few days, offers came in, and Mike, with his new team, created a plan. He corresponded with a few physicists and picked their brains about his technology and how it could be used for time travel. Several scientists helped Mike come up with an idea for a mechanism with rotating magnets that would make the machine easier to control. So Mike got a warehouse, all the equipment he needed, and access to more power than he could

ever use. It took about a year, but he finally built a newer, larger, and highly upgraded version of his time machine. And you know what? The machine worked. So now we got a big warehouse. We got all these transformers. They got all these people because Art Bell on coast to coasts.

Rich people looking to... They're like, yeah, let's build a time. If I had that kind of money, be like, yeah, we're going to, you think you can build the time machine? We're going to build a time machine. Yep. I'm sure you're all waiting. You're like, when's he going to go through it? Now, now he's going to go through it.

Okay, I was wondering how long it was going to take for a person. There are varied stories. There are varied stories about what leads up to this next point. Gotcha. There's a story that he put a cat through it. Nobody can prove the cat. Okay. You're going to hear in this, they start putting like guinea pigs, like literally.

get any pigs through it and stuff? No, actually, I think that that was the basis for that song. The cat came back. Oh, the very next day. I think actually that's what that's from. So I think that one, that's actually true. Yeah. That part's true.

This is the story of Madman, Mike Markham. Showbro, Alex reminded me about this. And I found a great Y Files episode. I will post the whole Y Files episode on our Facebook page. If you want to go deep. And then in the comments to that, if you want to get really nerdy, I found an entire three-hour episode of, Coast to coast with Art Bell.

Yeah. Where he's up, Mike is on it. Oh, wow. And he's like recounting the whole story. So if you want to... That show was just the craziest. So, so crazy. People will be talking to him and then they get cut off.

Several signs said that if building a time machine was possible, Mike's technology was on the right track. Because Einstein's equations do allow for time travel. And they're blueprints. Blueprints for different kinds of time travel design that are compatible with Einstein's theory. For example, gigantic spinning cylinders, you go around the cylinder, and you come back before you left. So now Mike started testing the machine by sending objects through the vortex. First, with small objects like bits of wood, baseballs, and little things like that.

And they went through just fine, but they just disappeared. But they really didn't disappear. They just ended up in different locations. So, well, what, it's teleporting stuff? That's hacklefish. No. The objects would go in and vanish, and then about it. about two minutes later, they reappeared.

But the objects ended up between 50 and 150 yards east or west of the machine. And always east and west, never north or south. So remember that, never north or south. The items would appear outside of his warehouse like 50 to 150 yards away, but only on an exact east to west plane, meaning if it did time travel. So say this thing went, I don't know, into another dimension. Yeah. But the Earth's rotation was spinning.

Maybe it comes back because of that. That's going to matter in a little bit when Mike gets inside the time machine. Mike thought this could have something to do with the Earth's rotation or magnetic field. And look, I know the story sounds crazy. But these tests were witnessed by 15 people. Anyone who donated money or equipment, Mike let them be a part of the project. So people saw this happen. And those people showed up.

I would have too. The tests were so successful that Mike started sending small animals through. specifically mice, hamsters, and guinea pigs. So at this point, there was really only one final test to try. Yeah. I mean. Yep. Mike stood in front of the vortex, took a deep breath, and jumped.

There was a flash of light, and Mike disappeared. Now, remember, Art Bell had been following this project closely. He was even planning a trip to the warehouse. But when Art checked in looking for Mike, nobody had seen him. He was just gone. I got two more clips. I know this is a long one. I hope you're enjoying it.

I love the story of Mad Man Mike Markham. This is weird. So now he's going to time travel. This is just weird. This is high strangeness, all right? He gets, he's built this device that's created whatever this magic vortex is. They explain it as like a plasma tornado, whatever. My band plasma tornado was actually opening for that in this moment.

Oh, you're going to be down there? Okay, I'll make sure you get tickets to that. Smoothie's got tickets for the plasma tornado. Only a meet and greet with plasma tornado. That's it. So now he's going to get in there. And he just did. And he vanishes.

But does he? Listen. This is from the Y files again. When Mike came to, he was not in the warehouse. He was lying in the middle of a field somewhere with the worst headache he'd ever had. And there was a big problem. He had no memory of how he got there. He didn't even know his own name.

So he got up and just started walking. Now, it took some time, but his memories slowly returned. Eventually, he hit Fairfield, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati. And Fairfield is 800 miles due east of the warehouse in Overland Park, Kansas. But Mike had no driver's license or idea of any kind, no credit cards, no money. So he went to the nearest homeless shelter to grab a meal and get his bearings. When he got to the shelter, he saw a newspaper. He had jumped two years into the future.

Mike took a few odd jobs and got together enough money to take a bus back to his warehouse in Overland Park. Now I know you're weird out by that. He was literally a missing person for two years, dude. No one knew where he was. No one knew where he was for two years. He comes, she shows back up two years later. He's going to go back to his warehouse. When he got there, the warehouse was empty.

Everything was gone. The machine, all the videos that he took of each test, and all his notes, every bit of documentation, was all gone. Now, Mike was pretty sure he could recreate the machine. He felt he could remember 90 to 95% of the process, but it would take a lot of money. The equipment in the warehouse was worth a couple of million dollars, but Mike still had memory gaps. He couldn't remember whose donors were. His list of supporters was in the warehouse. And that brings us to Mike's third appearance on coast to coast.

He caught Art Bell up on everything that happened. And although he wasn't looking for money, once again, people were ready to help. Because he'd been gone for two years. Now, he did do prison time, so it's not unlikely that he maybe went back to prison for a little bit. But he was missing for two years. He shows back up. Art Bell's like, dude, where you been? He's going to talk to him here.

They want to build another time machine. They're not done. They're not done, bro. This one guy suggests I'm actually looking at the website now. Go to tell him to set up a GoFundMe account. Yeah, go fund me or, you know, well, that's crowdfunding, right? Art also recommended that Mike pursue a book deal. And Mike admitted that he's no author, but if he teamed up with a ghost writer,

he could certainly cover all the technical details. Another suggestion was, work with the government. No! What would you cooperate with them or? The thing with DARPA, well, I don't have firsthand experience with them, but I'm willing to bet they try to militarize every, I mean, basically the check isn't, it's free and clear, there's always strings attached. I hear that.

All right. I got one final clip for you, Cody. What the hell? Mike's last attempt at time travel. Okay. Okay? This is from the Y files. I will post the entire thing on the K-Rock Facebook page,

along with enough, the big episode of Arts Barbell's coast to coast, where Mike is on it if you want to really nerd out. This is the craziest thing. It's your high stranger second. This guy's legendary, like, in the world of... Because of coast to coast. Yes. Weirdos like me are listening to that late at night about aliens and stuff.

So everybody knows about him. Showbrough Alex reminded me about him. I was like, I've never done a Mike Markham episode. Final clip. And Mike Markham would continue his research and continue to experiment. Mike wanted to travel again, but he needed to bring things with him. So when he woke up, he could quickly get up to speed in cases. his memory failed again, so Mike continued to document his work and built a pretty large following

online. One day, Mike posted that he was ready to go through again, and this time he would go through inside the tube, and he'd take his cell phone with him. That way, he'd had everything he needs, his notes, photographs, even money. It was a great idea. And that was the last anyone had heard from him. As always, Art Bell kept tabs on Mike and was disappointed to hear that he was gone again to where or when nobody knew. Listen. But during one radio show, Art took a disturbing call. The caller had found a newspaper article from 1930.

The article described a man who had drowned. His body had washed up on the beach. The article said he was found in a strange metal drum. And the only object he had on him was a small rectangular device that nobody could explain. The man had no ID, so he was named John Doe. But some people had a feeling. His real name. was Mike.

Whoa. That's crazy. It's the story of madman Mike Markham. A lot of questions, a lot of theories, a lot of people wondering different things. You guys can talk about it on her Facebook page. I put the whole clip up there. Shout out to the Wi-Files.

That's cool, man. That's an amazing episode of that, man. And I'll put the whole thing on the K-Rock Facebook page. We'll come back. It's the show. Hi. I'm sorry. Did I startle you?

When you're used to hearing a... certain type of commercial. Something like this can, well, take you by surprise. That's kind of how it is with the Lexus RX, a vehicle that has continued to defy expectations for over 25 years, from the first luxury vehicle of its kind to the first hybrid luxury vehicle to the only plug-in hybrid worthy of the RX name. We understand you want more than the everyday SUV. It isn't being understood an amazing feeling. See Burdick Lexus and Cicerole. Boys, good morning this is K. Rock. Smoothies got your shot at the big row. Coming up for In This Moment over at the landmark theater talking about October 26 with Dayseeker, The Funeral Portrait and Dead.

Tickets available at Ticketmaster.com, but smoothie's got them every day this week. Get yourself in that big row. Plus, it is a Halloween masquerade at the concert. Wear your best costumes. Top three will get the go on stage and a grand prize winner. We'll receive a special in this moment Halloween prize. and photo with Maria Brink. That's cool.

That'll be a fun, fun time. That's a neat Halloween activity. So, yeah, the, uh, the, Alec Baldwin hit a tree yesterday, I guess, and, uh, the photos are hilarious because it's like, it's like two teenage boys who are just like confused by an accident. It really does look like that.

And it looked, and Alec Baldwin looks like he hit the tree and then muscled up his hair to make it look like he was, oh, so distraught. He probably had to yell at the tree, and then he had to yell at Stephen probably, and then he had to yell at the garbage truck driver. Oh, I'm going to say, I'm sure the garbage truck driver, I'm sure he got a little bit of a little bit of Baldwin. And then he had to yell at whatever paparazzi was in the area. Yep, yelled as an insurance agent.

Some guy cut me off in a truck. It sounds fake. I mean, a garbage truck the size of a whale. I've never seen a garbage truck. It must have been something commercial for, like, taking away material from construction or something. It was the biggest garbage truck I've ever seen any. Anyway, to avoid hitting him, I hate a tree. I hit a big fat tree and crushed my car, my wife's car.

That's all fine and I'm fine and my brother's fine and bobbety block. My wife's car is, he smashed up, big tree, big fat tree. Big fat tree, big fat tree. What is he doing? What? Like his voice? Like that whole thing. What was that?

He was him on Instagram. He makes these little videos where he looks into his camera. And he's all disheveled usually. and had to over-explain the biggest garbage truck. I've never seen the biggest. I've never seen the biggest-a-basket. It's the biggest, it's a big as well.

I agree, Pat Lucas. He still does on me a laptop. You're not wrong about that. He absolutely does. And his brother was too afraid to man up and get it done for you. I mean, you've got to be going pretty fast to hit a tree at that speed

and you're claiming the garbage truck. Listen, I get it. It happens, accidents happen. But you're claiming the garbage truck was the biggest garbage truck to ever seen the world. Ever. But then you had to avoid it by hitting a tree?

Like a wet thing like. You didn't see it. Like a whale. Yeah, whatever. Whatever he says, it's to his benefit. Yeah. I mean, at this point, you really can't. You either believe him or you don't.

You know what I mean? What a weird-ass family. Yelp. Anyways. I hate you. Good morning, everybody. Happy Tuesday. 315-364-1009K rock text line.

We'd love to hear from you in there. Oh, my God. Uh You know I don't know why I ate so many Slim Jims in the middle of the night That was a bad choice That was a bad choice

Oh God That was a bad choice Oh boy Well, you know I gotta just have like a healthy snack I never eat in the middle of the night But I woke up just crazy I was starving

And you just had to have some slim gyms About about 15 of them Yeah Oh boy Yeah sorry bud Yeah it's okay do you eat them all at once or do you peel them

eat peel eat peel eat oh no peel eat peel eat peel eat and then I want another one peel eat I don't know if you peeled peel peel peel peel peel peel peel peel peel peel peel peel and then put them in a big like rubber band them together and just go at it

yeah nah it's like a big like a big cigar you got in your mouth like you're the slim gym crooner I am I bet you didn't know that you were going with a slim gym crue or that you were riding with a slim gym crew I gotta make money off of Slim Jim Krooner eats jaws too good.

My mother will probably yell at me in the chat for eating a... Oh, boy. Slim Jim's in the middle of the night. She's already got me worried about test results, because that's what mothers do. At least you don't, like, turn it into a thing. What do you mean? Like, it's not, like a Slim Jim burrito?

Yeah, like some... With cheese and stuff? Right, like, yeah, it's not, like, part of a whole deal. Like, if you ever done, like, the triple cheese, where you take, like, a piece of cheese, like a provolone, squirty cheese in the provolone cheese stick, roll it up. That sounds delicious. Right?

That sounds delicious. And now I kind of wonder where I'm lactose intolerant comes from. Probably that. Your body goes, all right, you know what? You can't be responsible. You don't get any dairy. That's what I assume. Dairy ain't it for me.

Cider would get me going a little bit. That'd get me some bubble guts. I can't stop drinking it. I can't even explain how much apple I've had this month. There's a lot of apples. In this month, I've eaten probably 20 apples. Oh, my bud. But that's good fiber for you.

Oh, I know. That's a good fiber for you. You're having good BMs, I bet? No, it's not been. Okay. Going through a whole thing of the caramel dip. Yeah, the cider is a real big problem. A couple things of cider.

Hard ciders are a problem. And I usually, I know again, we've got so many great locals. You're getting Walmart. I like they have that flavored apple cider. What is it? There's two of them. One's like a cinnamon.

And I just like it. Oh, that's nice. I didn't know that. Yeah. It's decent. I haven't stopped thinking about that Stewart's blue raz drink. I got to go back and get some of those. The refreshers.

Their raspberry iced tea was one of the batter raspberry iced teas. Because some of them you get and it's too syrupy. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about? Like that weird syrup taste and thickness. Stewart is focusing. That was real good. Stewart is focusing on the two things that I think matter the most.

Ice cream flavors and refreshers. wetest drinks. They've got the wetest drinks. They've got really great drinks in the little bottles and the big bottles. And then those ice cream flavors were clutch. Yep, I keep saying just because I haven't gone back yet, I am going to get that ice cream in a pint or bigger. But there were so many that you guys were right.

If it, thank God that I got that free one outside. Why? Well, we're right out. Because I was staring at the door. They had a million other pints. Yeah, they did on the back. And I slowly felt that creep in because my decision paralysis does a thing where they had them all labeled. It was like alphabetical order of all the different flavors they had.

So it was perfect. Stewart, that's also brilliant as hell. And they all started to fog over. Decision paralysis set in. And they started, I couldn't, I started not be able to read them. And I'm like, oh boy. There we go. Really?

Like a fog broke over your face? It starts to like, the words all start to kind of like either stretch out. or blend together where my brain just starts to be like, yeah, I'm all set with this, we're not going to make a decision. So what's over here? It just can't focus on anything.

Okay. Weird. I didn't know that there was an actual physical manifestation of your decision. Feel it happen. paralysis. No, don't. No, it was clutch, man. Thanks for having us again, Stuart.

That was fun. That was fun. So science has figured out what the scariest movie is. They did this by having people wear heart monitors, different like EKG machines. What scary movie gets people, scared the most. Here's the thing is I don't watch any of these, so I don't know any of these.

Just one hit. Older or newer? By newer, I mean like 90 now to now. Every single one is within the last 20 years. Wow. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Everything is in the last 20 years. I don't know those that.

I've kind of fallen off with scary movies, so I'm not going to know any of these, I bet. I would say, and I think you'd agree with me on this, It wasn't a movie, but that house on Haunted Hill was one of the scariest things I've ever watched. Yes. They did a phenomenal job with that. Yep. And then whatever like the follow-up ones were.

It was okay. That the other one was cool. Or maybe that was the follow-up. Yes, the priest thing. The priest thing. That was cool. But that first one was. It was the scariest thing.

Awesome. So let's go through the top five at least. Okay. This is based on heart data, you know, anxiety, all the, like, scientific things. Number five is the conjuring. which there's a new one out, right? Because my oldest wants to see it. There's a bunch of the conjurings out.

Yeah, I haven't seen it. Insidious is number four. See, I know of all of these. I know of them, but I don't know. I have not seen it. I'm counting on you guys who are like real horror fans, what these movies are. Because I don't know what number three is Skinnamarink.

Spell it. S-K-I-N-A-M-I. Right there. Yeah, what is it? Skinnamarinky-dinkie-dinkie-dink. Skinnamarinky do. Who's been under the elephant costume this all time? Which is, what's wild about that and living in this simulation right now is that

I made up a whole sketch like 20 years ago about Sharon Lois and Bram but as a horror movie? Really? And I sang that Skinnamarinky, yeah, creepy. Like I sang it's slow and creepy. So I don't love the fact that that exists. It would be. All right. It says it's scary because it uses unsettling atmosphere, psychological.

dread and childhood fears creating a nightmare like experience rather than relying on traditional horror tropes. Oh, okay. So, it messes with your brain. Yeah, the film weaponizes common childhood anxieties like being alone in the dark, the fear of the unknown,

feeling of being small and powerless, that type stuff. Oh, I like pain in the dark. You do? That's neat. You don't know what's out there. I do, because you send me photos of eyeballs staring back at you. You got to walk real. slowly.

In the woods. Is there something walking in front of us? Number two. Google this. These form two. Number two is host. These are the scariest

movies according to science based on heart monitor projection and all that. It looks like. Host from 2020. Looks like Blair Witch. Okay. Let's see.

Is host a scary movie? Yes. And the effect uses timely suspense and scares. Jump scares. I don't like jump scares. See, those are the ones I do like, but I know it's the easiest.

where it's not really scary. You're just watching somebody. You know what I mean? Then just because you're not expecting it. Yeah, I don't like jump scares. I like more like mind stuff. Like in that house on haunted hill, they would snap their necks,

I don't know, and it freaked me out. Man, freak me out. Or in that other one, the priest one were like, the first couple times you see that thing sucking the blood.

Like, oh my God. And the scariest... Oh, never mind, never mind. The scariest movie, according to science. Well, host was number two. Number two. Wow, really?

Number one is Sinister. See, I've heard of that. Is that that weird guy with the white face and the yellow eyes? Oh, wait. No, isn't that? Terrifier. That's terrifying. That's the one that Sugar likes with a clown, right?

Well, wait, Sinister's got Ethan Hawk in it. I like him. What is the plot? Let's see. Is it based on a true story? No. Why? Let's see, what's the plot?

It's not telling me the plot. Sinister, I'll just have to type in plot. There's a true crime writer, Ethan Hawk, blah, blah, he's in a slump. Has it in a bestseller in 10 years becoming increasingly desperate for a hit. Who is this? So he discovers the existence of a snuff film. Okay. Showing the deaths of a family, he vows to solve the mystery.

That's the scariest movie ever? I already did that movie. I called it Snake Eyes, and you freaking all hated it. I'm Nicholas Cage. He moves the family, his own family, into the victim's home to get to work. old film footage and other clues hint at the presence of a supernatural force. Well, I bet I'd like sinister.

Not to spoil anything. Taxline said sinister scared me and I don't get scared at movies. Wow. There's a sinister too, so you could have yourself a little booboop. You could watch of these movies six or seven. What do you guys think about that? Do you guys like sinister? Was it scary?

That sounds, it has like a story like that. I like those more. I mean, like if I know that Ethan Hawks are, good actor. I know that'll be good. Like, I don't like those Jigsaw movies because it's just violent and gory and gross. Jigsaw, saw, saw, yeah. I like the first two. Okay.

Or I like either one and three. I know that I've seen like three. I've seen a bunch, but only three were like, okay. Like, I like there's a story to it. Like that black phone movie, there was at least a story it felt like. Yeah. And I was following it. No, yeah. I agree with you, though.

I like the Netflix stuff like that where it's a couple and it's scary instead of just one. movie. CNY's not so scary. Half mile. Halloween walk for the family. Through Long Branch Park is open Thursday through Sunday this week and every week right in Liverpool nine. Theemed sections including the dinosaur dungeon.

Pumpkin Patch. Missed phone call from your doctor's office. And the skeleton graveyard dress the kids in their Halloween costumes and enjoy the food trucks and the treats. to buy the car load So you load up that minivan Make it worth your while Spooktacular stroll.com

Looks like Thursdays is when Antonio's is there I heard those meatballs Were bitchy and meatballs Yeah Walking around meatballs Right Oh, one around meatball

There's a ton of stuff there man I was very impressed Yeah Very impressed with the entire layout Of again like what Four or five people Yeah the event crew Always doing a great job

setting everything up over there. So cool. Good. So many of those places for, and I say it says as a person without kids. So much room with activities. For you to take those stupid pictures that you parents love with all your kids.

No, you're right. Oh my God, there's like 10,000 spots of those. Go stand in front of them. Well, your mom takes them with the dogs. And makes me. And you got to them. But go stand by the dinosaur, 40. But, oh, there's so many of them.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, a lot of scenes for you to take cute photos of the kids. A lot of room for having to run around. Oh, my God. They'd be so tired. Fire them out. Yep. Go to bed.

I guess I don't understand how lot of tickets work. So, because I'm going to tell you this story about a guy in Florida that stole a bunch of lot of tickets. Are they not valid until they're like scanned or something? What do you mean? He stole a bunch of like scratch-offs. Oh, yeah. Nope. And he went and scratched them and tried to cash them in, but they don't, they aren't valid, I guess.

Scratchers. Oh. Yeah. Oh. Like you can just steal them off the thing, right? I guess not. Don't do this. Anybody listening, don't steal scratchers, please.

No, but I've only ever heard of the thing that employees get caught up in where they scratch a bunch of them. Thinking they're going to make their money back? So do they have to scan every one of those? You know what I mean? Well, my buddy that got, my buddy lost a gas station job for that. He would do that where he would scratch them thinking one of these is eventually going to hit. And then I won't need to worry about the money because then I can just buy this one ticket. Yep.

That never works out. Nope. Yeah, you're all saying they got to be activated, I guess. So a... Interesting. Florida man named Justin faces federal charges now after allegedly stealing $7,000 worth the scratch-offs.

Who the hell is Justin? Who's Justin? From a Circle K. Uh-huh, can't do that. He drove home, played the Scratchers. I mean, if I had $7,000 in scratch-offs, that would be so fun.

Yeah, just fun. Yeah. Right? No. It'd take a long time. Yeah, I mean, it would be. it would take a little bit, but... Only took him about 40 minutes,

because then he came back. He didn't go to the Circle K. He went to the 7-Eleven to try to cash him in, but I guess like we're learning now, then they were never sold, so they're not active. That's wicked funny. They're just as good as the paper they're printed on.

That's wicked funny. Prosecutors say then he returned to another Circle K twice more. He tried this a bunch of times. So eventually they tracked them down. Police arrested him on May 22nd after surveillance footage and his license plate linked him to trying to keep coming back to cash in these scratchers.

See, that's the case of being greedy. He got away with it. But he didn't because they weren't. I mean, yes, you're right. He got away with it. And then he got away with it. It looks like again. A few times.

A couple more times he had to just keep because, you know, he had that, he wanted the winnings. Man, that sucks. Tax line says years ago, some losers robbed the liquor store in Elbridge and stole all the lotto tickets. They caught the same way. trying to cash in their scratchers.

And now we're just helping the criminals by telling them those are useless. Yeah, you got to steal all their stuff. Yeah, I've got to steal all the stuff. If you scan a lot of tickets at the machine and put them in the inventories, they're scanned in. They're not going to, because when you buy them, they've got to be scanned. Gotcha. All right. All right.

Well, everyone learned. Go get a scratcher today. I love a good scratch off ticket, Mary. Try your luck. Good morning, everybody. Tuesday. Thank you for turning in to K-Rock. You can get the show on demand wherever you listen to podcasts. I've been K-Rop, The Show. And there we are. I'm not really a Rush fan, but they are going back on tour.

I'm not. I have nothing against them. They're just not. They weren't my bag. No, they weren't for me. I respect their musicality and the genius of all the people in the band, but. And I don't know how Rush fans feel, but I'm not even a Rush fan, and I feel. feel like once Neil passed, you're done. Okay. That's, that's, like, that's, like, that's rough. I get you.

I mean, you're gonna, what? I think you're gonna, what? I think you're gonna just go the Leonard Skinner route and then Gettie goes. You just get someone else, you know what I mean? Like, eh, I don't know. No, I agree. It's that, Neil Peart was a major part of that band. He wasn't just a drummer.

No, yeah, not at all. A lot of people probably don't even care about the voice. Alex and Gattie. Yeah, they want the drumming. I don't even know the other guy's name. So, they are going back on tour, and now the ticket prices are coming out. Here we go. Well, they better be $10.

They better be $10. Or for free! Back in the day, in 1974, I saw a rush for $5, and it better be the exact same prize. I brought a matchbox to the hotel and saw them open for the rolling stones for a nickel. Uh-huh. I brought a cash box. canned food item and that was my, that covered my entire ticket. No, they're starting to leak out some of the ticket prices for the rush tour that's coming up.

If you're mentioning it, then it. What do you think tickets start at? Furthest ticket from the stage starts at. Let's see, we paid what, one fitty for Oasis? So that's... They're bigger than Oaxon. $250. Close, $300.

Oh my God. Nosebleeds start at $300. No. Way, man. I mean, there are... I don't know how we come back from this. Yeah. They're fans, like,

this isn't a fair statement to make it all, but if anybody their fans maybe can afford it, the older you've got, you know what? I don't even feel, no, I'm not even going to finish that. Yeah, I don't, I don't know how we come back from this ticket price thing. It's disgusting, because you get that...

It's disgusting. You get the goober, like the goober from Live Nation being like, well, let me put on my leather jacket. Tell you how lucky you. should feel to pay what I let you pay. Like, what, bro? Then you wonder why when terrible things happen, douchebags, we go, oh, man, you see that?

Because the statements like that. I don't know, I don't know how we fix this, because I'm just as guilty. Like, I just paid $100 to see nine-inch nails, which I feel like is the market value of nine-inch nails. No, that's, that's fine. $100 would. Oasis market values, like $150, I guess.

But it's, this must be Rush market value. But it's just unfair. It is unfair. Because they take advantage of it because it's like, well, do you want to see Rush though? You know what I mean? Yeah, I know. Luckily we got, because it was right, we were right in that middle where I thought everything was about to change

with ticket prices where, you know, for the Oasis show, they kind of made sure that things wouldn't transpire the way they had been when people, you know, I'm buying all 10,000 and now they're $500 million. Yeah, they've been better about that. Because I was prepared because they, you know what I mean, I know what they know what they've got in Oasis that, you know what I mean? If it was like, well, it's going to be $300.

I was going to be like, yep. Oh, well, they know what they have and what they're going to. That's what sucks. And there's nothing we could do. We just keep paying it because that's what they keep pricing it at. And we're all letting like, I don't know, maybe our nostalgia take over. I can see it slowly coming back our way with things like wrestling. I never in my life thought I'd get to a point where I'm literally a

flipping off double double birds, WWE. And a lot of wrestling fans are, right? FU. We've paid so much to the Triple H. WW and Vince McMahon, WW machine for so long. And this is our thanks that you sell the company off basically to line all of your millionaire pockets

and then make the fans pay for it. The fans that have supported this stupid, sports entertainment pastime this entire time. Through some pretty bad times. Through the worst times and through people that have, you know what I mean? Think of all the times that wrestling fans have had to back up their support of supporting wrestling. Yeah, I know, I know. And then this is the thanks that they give us where it's, no, well, guess what?

No, no matter what, you're next to $30 a month. Like, it's slowly starting with crap like that. Something's got to give, man. We got to take back our power and our power is in our wallets. They're only going to keep breaking us over the coals like this as long as we pay it. Yep. And eventually something's got to break. Like, people can't afford this stuff.

No. No. And it's nuts. And you can see that they're trying to slowly be like, well, we'll just go to the people that can. Yeah, like the rest of us are just left in the muck, I guess. Yeah, because that's very easily what WWE is going to do. They just appeal to the rich people. Well, they'll be a Saudi blood money company.

Eventually, TKO or whoever is, will sell off or triple, whoever it's got that, it will be owned by the Saudis and many things will happen over there. WrestleMania. WrestleMania. He's going to be there, yeah. Is Saudi Arabia. That's crazy. In a couple years.

It's crazy. It's crazy. It's unreal. It's crazy. It's a bigger problem, but I don't know what we're not going to get into it now. But the entertainers just keep taking the money to go over there. According to the blood money. Alternative Nation, nosebleed seats for the Rush Reunion will start at 300, mid-levels, about

350 to 400. Wow. But they go up from there. Premium packages range from $650 to $2,500. And all it gets you is a laminate that says you were there. You don't get access to anything other than the merch booth. And to see a band that most Rush fans will probably agree has lost their best member. So to see a band, just go out there and what?

Well, we're going to... I don't know what we do about concerts, man. Because like from behind the scenes, you guys got to also know that bands are requesting assonite amount of money. Yeah, it's a, it's both sides. It's from both sides. They're getting money from these huge contracts to, you know, play all summer. Right. And then they also request an ass ton to play all summer.

It's like you're just killing your own fans, man. If you had any idea how much, we've told you on air a bunch, but like some of these bands that you're like, they had a hit in the 90s and they still want 50 grand to play a show. It's like... Or even a loser douchebag like Marilyn Manson, who we agree to give them whatever B S he wants. And then he goes, oh, you want? Oh, you do?

Well, then it's more. Yeah, it's like... What? Piss off. The bands aren't innocent in this either. They're getting paid too. That's what I'm saying. That's not on both sides.

I know. It's just, I don't know how we come back from this because it's not stopping. It might be to your point. Like people flipping off things like WWE and saying, I'm not paying that money. No, it's just we can't afford that. We can't afford our bills. I know.

And then a guy comes out and says that we're lucky to pay hundreds of dollars to see a concert. Yeah. Oh. We'll go to work and we'll go home and stare at a wall and like it. Yeah, damn it. Be the cogs in the machine. Radio's free. Radio is free.

We're free. We're zero monies. So this is just a. stupid list of the scariest name cities in each state. I can start with New York. We got a couple weird ones. I mean scary, I don't know, but weird ones, yes. They picked, at least for our state,

a city called, or a town called Execution Rocks. That's pretty cool. Execution Rocks, New York. Although that was an easy one for scariest. Why wouldn't they just include the one from that movie that I'm blanking on now? Sleepy Hollow. Oh, that's another one. No, remember the house, that movie, it was a newer remake.

Yep, that one. Yeah. Just that one. Execution Rocks is in Westchester. It's in the city, but it's a lighthouse. Oh. That's a cool. Is it, see, Scott.

One name? Execution space, rocks. Yeah, that's how it is. That's pretty cool, though. But I can jump around to other towns. What are we got here? Sleepy Hollow really didn't get ahead for anymore. Execution Rocks is just morbid.

Yeah, no, yeah. Yes, it is. So I'll jump around. Let's start up in the A. Spooky Hollow Road. Okay. In Alabama. Alabama?

Dead Man Lake in Alaska. Oh. That's where I... California has a town called Stix, S-T-Y-X. Why is that scary? Like the band Sticks? All right. Because it's all.

That's all. You just have sticks as entertainment. 24-7. It's just that one song. You pull it as you're pulling in from like a mile away. It's like a, ghost town but it's like in a middle there's like a desert surrounding it so as you start pulling in you start slowly and you're like what what is that that you do you hear that's

that's it's you do you can hear my harp is that you are you scared driving down the road little heads pop out of windows Oh! Like, where are we right now? Hey, Matt is coming down from a gather. Are we in sticks? Strobe lights going on. If you get lost in sticks, I can't help you.

I can't get you out of there. That'd be terrifying. Slaughter Beach in Delaware. Slaughter Mountain in Georgia. Jeez. In Idaho, they have a town just called Bone. It's where Inks Moll. lose.

Bone. The most part. Kentucky has a town that is very appropriately named Hell for Certain. That's just all Kentucky. Yeah, this is hell. We're in hell for certain.

It's not that smart. It's just the bottom of every one of their state signs. Maine has a town called Massacre Pond. Okay. Love it. Okay. Love it.

These are all like movie title. Like you should all like, they should make a movie based at every single one of these. Yep. Grave run, Maryland. Bloody Pond, Massachusetts. Oh, that one's got a blue-green algae problem.

Blood Creek, Nebraska. Nebraska, you going down there? Nebraska. Dead man's coach, Montana. What is it? Dead man's coach. That's like rattlesnake cults over here. Jesus, Ohio.

Oh. Jesus, Ohio? No. Gore Orphanage, Ohio. Yeah, that time that orphanage got real cut up. It was real gory. I live in Gore, Ohio. Orphanage.

It was real gross. Yeah. Oh, this would be nice. We're going to get this back pretty soon, Rhode Island. Smallpox Trail, Rhode Island. Oh, there you go. We'll get that back pretty soon here. Is that near Measlesville?

Magiddy Run West Virginia. What? West Virginia. We can't help you. Listen, we can't define you all the time. And actually, I don't think we've ever defended West Virginia. Could you define me just maybe one time? Maybe just like one time?

Witches Galtz, Wisconsin. The list goes on and on. The list goes on and on. What was North Carolina? Devil's Courthouse. That's where I was... Devil's Courthouse, North Carolina. That's where I do my lot.

It's where all lawyers practice anyway. The lawyers, you're the devil's courthouse. Shivers, Mississippi is a good one. Hell Michigan. We all know Hell Michigan. Legendary. Well, I think you're going to get some good shows this week as we got a whiskey Wednesday tomorrow night.

Yep. We got a Cocoa Puffs Thursday. Yep. And I might kick off a house party on Friday. I'm feeling the vibes. See what the West. is, but, uh, cold weather means house party season. Well, we just hang out on a Friday night.

So, all right, we're having some fun. Drinking good whiskey. M-night shamalama ding-dong. Oh, is he trying again? He's got a new movie coming out. I didn't even see the last one. Well, okay. I forgot what you're...

It's not even made yet. Oh, okay. It's based on the magic eight ball. Okay. Okay. And that's what's going to, like, dictate what people do, but then it starts to... I don't know. But the magic was inside you all at all.

It was in us all along, yeah. That's a problem. The live action scripted series based on the Magic 8 Ball is in the works. M. Knight Shammelon is directing it. Gwyneth Paltrow's husband, Brad, is writing it. Brad Paltrow. Brad Paltrow. According to press releases, it will, quote, aim to reimagine the classic magic eight ball

as the centerpiece of a high concept, character-driven, supernatural, that blends psychological intensity with cultural intrigue. There's no word on when or where it'll be, but... I don't know, man. He's just, I don't know, not... He's not having the best run. He did good, and then it was kind of really it. Magic 8-ball's been around for 75 years, I guess, so celebrate that.

Yeah, like, what are you going to do? Ooh! Right, like... It's telling me to kill. We're going to play whatever game you vote on. It's close between Madger. in wrestling right now. I did, I did watch.

What? I never ended up seeing that cool movie split. I heard that was really awesome, all the multiple personalities, but I did watch old. That movie where the beach, they're on the beach, and they just get old. That's a Shamblon movie? Is it weird?

It's bad. No, no, it's weird, but it was not good. But I didn't see the other ones. I didn't see knock at the cabin or trap. All right. It's knock at the cabin. Batiste in it. Oh yeah, when he's now he's like an ass.

There's all those things. But old was not it for me, man. Get your votes in. We will get in to your 90s at 9. Radio friends. You'll be listening to a little cake here momentarily. Oh, I could eat some cake. I could eat some cake.

Twitch, we're going to do our gaming stream. As you know, our gaming stream powered by Ryan Phelps. You are buying flying. Styling and profiling with Ryan Phelps. And whereas we might be playing a trick game, there's no tricks. No tricks. And what he means by that as well? we're going to do oops all field goals.

You cannot score a touchdown. Can you score like safeties and stuff? Oh, I don't. We can just say no touchdowns. If it's a safety, yeah, there's not. That's fine. No touchdowns. No touchdowns.

No touchdowns. Like pick six. You got to run out of bounds. You better. No touchdowns. No touchdowns. It's only field goals and safeties or whatever other rando points we can get. All right.

Touchback. Is that anything? Yeah, I don't really. I think that's it. If you like block a field goal. and recover it. That's a touchdown, so you'd have to still run out about... Yeah, alright, this is going to be ridiculous.

Jump in Twitch, if you want to see a silly, stupid game. Thank you, Ryan Phelps, representing the gaming stream. Radio World, you get cake. Keep it locked. It's Kara.
