The Show - ROCK ‘EM, SOCK ‘EM

Episode Date: February 10, 2026

Absolute epic NBA brawl last night, but these fellas might do better in this new “run full speed at each other” sport. A High Strangeness takes us back to Appalachia to learn about The Moon-Eyed People. Plus, things that sucked about the 90’s and 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. Big temperature swing today, man, high of 30. Wow. It's currently 14.

Gonna be balmy A.F. This is my island in the sun. Right. Holy cow. This is going to feel like... It's going to feel like spring. Oh, my God. If the sun comes out and it's 36. Right?

I'm going to open the door. I might pass out. I don't know. Oh, hi, ho, everybody. Happy Tuesday. I like the idea that at some point... Those 2.20-somethings are going to be complaining to their friends about the unhoused problem in downtown Syracuse, and it was just Coco. Yep. Coming to work.

This morning, I, uh, if I can kind of explain my viewpoint from this room. Yeah. I can see into Armory Square, and I know to the left of me is the front door. Yes. And I could hear the front door open because you were knocking the snow off your boots. Yep. And I watched these 220-somethings. stop walking as if there was an unhoused gentleman making their way towards them.

And I go, oh, they're worried about Coco. And what's funny is that I could tell because I didn't see them at first. And then when I did, they kind of just stopped. So it was like, oh, they think I'm a homeless guy. Yeah. So I made sure that once I was banging my boots, I had my hand just up against the door. Yep. And I had to make sure that at the last second, I quicked the thing and whipped it

open until they thought I was... They thought you were just... They thought you were just a fella leaning against the building, hacking up along. kicking his boots. kicking his boots. Yep. Yep. I mean, you would have taken the money if they would have given you something.

I should have just asked. Can I get anything? Should I just ask. Hey. Can I get anything? Before I go down to see if there's any pizza down there. Hey, have a nice day, all right. Good, any bagels.

Hey, yeah. Well, how's everyone doing? How was your Monday? What are you guys even watching for sports? Mondays. What is there? Besides NBA? There was basketball. Lottie, do we have an NBA update? Yeah. Lottie does. Well, Lottie does. Well, I'll let Lottie to say it because I'm sure he's excited about it.

But I ended up watching Raw instead just because I turned it on and didn't turn it off. But there was supposed to be a good college basketball game. Oh, yeah. I forget college hopes still happen. And number nine, Kansas. When your hometown team is doing so poorly, you forget the college basketball exists. Well, it's also hard. I get it because as a, as a. UCLA fan. You know, West Coast, my games don't start until

I'm bad times. Are they any good UCLA this year? They're decent. They'll probably get in the tournament. Okay. They might be in the playing tournament, which would be weird. Okay. Yeah. See that?

I read in the middle of his comments. What is he? Big old fight last night? Where was there a fight? Yeah, Charlotte and who the hell was it? Another team. Going back and forth. That was pretty cool.

I don't know if I have audio of that. It'll be, oh, I don't know if you can play audio. Oh, really? I bet you can't play any audio. Why did it have, like an actual like ball? Just go to ESPN.com. I bet it's right up on the other foot page. You can't be fighting in basketball guys. Come on. Yesp.

It was awesome. Oh, I didn't do that. Yeah, get it back, yeah. I see that number nine Kansas, hands Arizona the first loss. Oh, and I was watching wrestling. Yeah, you missed Arizona's first loss of the season. See why I have homo.

Four players ejected after a brawl breaks out between the Pistons and the Hornets. Pistons, Pistons. Damn, and a flare up into Hawks Timberwolves game. Really? Yes. Nas Reid and Mohamed Gieh, ejected after Tepers' flare at Hawks Timberwolves. Those big boys.

Can we just please get along, guys? No, this is good because that means we're heading into the All-Star break here. And then they'll come out for a hot second half. Punch is up. Wow, yeah, yeah? Is that the Hornets one? That's the Hornet one. And it goes...

Damn, it keeps going, Mom! For a while. It's a while. I have never seen Musa Diabate like this. Wow. Yeah. Sounds like a WWV match. Right.

I have never said it have like this before. Oh, because it goes... Watch. Now, ready? People coming off bench. Yep. Whoa! Yep.

This is out of control. That's out of control. I say Stewart gets out there for the piston. Dude, they're like, it's not bench clearing, but there's random guys just running out of nowhere laying haymakers. You get suspended for a game if you go like this. If you like what? Just like step in someone's direction? If you come off the bench, one foot.

Dude, they are going after each other. Because of the pistons and the malice in the palace and the palace, you take a step. You're suspended for a game. Well, pistons in it again. Neither's no teams are playing them tonight. Oh, man. Go watch that video if you guys want to see you. It's great.

an action, a little bit of a brawl last night. Yep. We will be giving away another Valentine's Day concert package. I know. Look at all the stuff that's in here. Yeah, there's a little bit of, I thought you got me flowers, but, you know, whatever. Those are years until the winter comes and picks them up. Those are from Rose Petals Florist in Little Falls. If you're in the Twitch stream and you want, uh, Twitch and YouTube, by the way, double streaming today. You see a couple roses by Coco. That's from Rose Petals Flores.

Is that that place over at a 343 South Second Street? How did you know? I knew it. He knew it. Anytime I'm out in Little Falls, that's the only place I go for my roses and flowers and flowers. The best place to stop in Little Falls. We gave away some yesterday. I'll give you the keyword again later this morning, probably closer to the 8 o'clock hour.

You're going to text that in. It's Nuggets. And I'll pick somebody at random. It's not Nuggets. They're going to get a pair of tickets to a concert of your choice. Now, unfortunately, the longer this goes on, the less choices you'll have. Because that's how deductions work. But as of right now, you'll be able to pick between Alterbridge,

Evanescence, Godsmack, five-finger death punch, Robert Zombrot with Manson, and you get the beautiful little bouquet of roses over here. Thanks to Rose Petals Floreson, Little Falls, be listening near the 8 o'clock hour for that keyword. Yeah, Ken's wife won yesterday. Oh, look at that. Yeah, she did. She picked Godsmack.

Well, that means that. And she has that trash panda tattoo, so she's been a lucky couple months. Sorry, Ken, that means you have to put out. Wow. Nice, I like it. It's the reverse. As if you needed another reason to move to Dallas, Cody. You love your cowboys, but now

they've deployed 300 goats to just clear invasive vegetation. I love those videos, too. They bought a bunch of goats. It's such a good idea. I love it. It's the best idea. The goats just go to town.

They get food. Yeah, it's a win-win. Yep, that guy just, fences them in. Awesome. And they just were like, okay, we just go. We just cut it and he's like, yep, have it. Go ahead. Yeah, it's wicked cool. The

Dallas Parks and Recreation Department paid approximately $15,000 for the goats. That's a pretty good deal. They will graze one to 1.5 acres a day. Oh, man. God, goats are crazy. That's so

much random crap. And just because this is how the simulation works, they, like, these goats will target the invasive shrubs. Yeah, for some reason, that's like they want to eat. Yeah, they like that stuff. They have electric fencing that'll guide the herd through a total of 11.5 acres. Wow. Well, like a goat herder is going to be out there keeping an eye on them.

Yeah. Five to ten sheep will handle the grass areas. Oh, my God. The hooves then break up the dead vegetation helping native wildflowers return. Yeah, because they stamp on everything. Nature, man. Just ever think about nature. That's so cool.

Goats will selectively remove problem plants while being gentle or near water. Dallas has used grazing goats previously. Officials encouraged photography from a distance while remaining people. Oh, my God. Because you're going to see a bunch of goats and that's cool. And you're like, yeah. I wouldn't be, I don't know what I'd be able to do. A whole swarm of goats and I have to keep my distance.

That's asking a lot. I mean, Chanter Forest lets me jump right in the pen. Exactly, man. So. Electricity is more than a source of energy. At its best, electricity is a rush, a thrill, a feeling. From hybrids to plug-in hybrids to the all-electric Lexus RZ, this is our take on electric. One that puts what you need, what makes you feel confident, inspired, excited, above all else.

After all, if it doesn't spark something in you, is it really electric? See Burdick Lexus. and Cicero. We will get to your high strangeness coming up in the 7 o'clock hour. Yay!

I am watching this foot. If you want to jump in Twitch real quick, Twitch.tv. TV slash K-Rox, C-N-Y or YouTube. We're doing multi-streaming, YouTube.com slash K-Rock, C-N-Y.

I'm watching this fight from last night. The NBA fight we talked about. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Here's the, I got a different angle of it, I guess. They slowed it down. Okay. I don't know any of these players so you can jump in,

but they're all. Isaiah St. Not just regular. There's no. No big games. No, you can't even take one step off the line. And then Miles went after Duren. And then Isaiah Stewart.

Yeah, you can't do. Who wasn't in the game at all? He just got a T-shirt on him. He's out there. Got him in. He's got some blows in. Never seen Musa. Anywhere close.

Wow. This guy going nuts from the hornet from, man. They can barely contain them. Well, and it's probably annoying that there's, They're all grabbing on them and crap. Get off me. I hate when they do that. Get off me for a second.

Let me walk it off. I'll calm down, but stop pulling on me. If you're not in the game, during an altercation is a massive no-no in the NBA. Well, a lot of people getting suspended, and I don't know who started it. It was like a somebody threw a punch. It was just a foul. A hard foul. And then they got...

It became a punch and it was all that. And they got head to head. And there was some pushing. and then that started it. But that one, the big one there with Isaiah Stewart, those guys weren't even, they, it was like a minute after everything. Well, if the NBA won't have them,

I know an organization that will. And that's Australia's run national championship. Did you see this footage going around this weekend? No. No? I don't know what that is. Oh, I can explain to you what this sport is, Cody. Run?

Run national championship. This is the national championship that just happened. Oh, why? They even asked me if I wanted to be in it, but okay. We could compete right now if you want. It's very easy. You start at that end of the mat. I start at this end of the mat,

and we run full speed into each other and see who gets knocked out. Like what you do when you have like pillows or you ever do that in college with the mattresses? Yep. You run at each other, or you get a pool float, and you run at each other? Yep.

It's exactly what I just said. I'm going to show you a clip where some of these NBA players might find their next professional career. I'll go blow up your pool floaty donut. Two competitors run toward each other to collide head on with the purpose of knocking each other down. The clash usually ends with the winner still standing and shouting

and the loser reeling on the ground disoriented. I don't know much about brain damage, but I'm thinking this is going to give you a lot of it. Boys is so stupid. These are grown-ass men. These are muscular men. It's their boys. Here, want to see a clip?

No, but yes, very much so. I'm like, I'm disturbed by it. Yeah, and say no, because I don't want it, because I hate this and I hate, I mean, I hate that slap thing, so I'm sure I'm going to hate this. It's an Australian. But I do need to see it. If you hear an Australian swear word, tell me, I didn't hear any, but maybe I'm missing. Why, don't put that on me? Yeah, that's brain damage.

Open the fridge. He is out cold. Oh, my God. I cannot believe it. Both men have been knocked down, Mick. So we want to see what happens here because if it ends up in a no contest, because there's been two exchanges, it will go to the judges school park. Oh, my God. Like, for those of you just listening, yeah.

Oh, my God. It's exactly what I'm describing. You're just running full speed at each other for some reason. Idiots. Because it's what, rugby? Like, you do this in rugby? I don't know what the point of this is. I do not like.

I do not like. I'm not a man's man, I guess. I'm not a rube. We're not manly enough for that. I'm not a real tough guy. That's insane, man. You can just hear their bodies slapping. So gross.

No. I just, I get that something's, oh, it's just funny, man, or whatever. No. It's exactly what they're doing rugby.

Not really. No, and it's funny now until you're 45 years old in a chair being fed through a tube because your brain is jello. I didn't like that. I didn't,

I knew I wouldn't because I don't like that slap thing either. No, I don't like it. I think that's so stupid and you got someone like Dana White encouraging these idiots with a bunch of money. But like you said, great. That way you'll have the money to pay for your at-home care.

Yeah, now you have your living nurse when you're in your 40s because your brain is completely Swiss cheese. Now, that being said, you give us each a big old pillow and a couple helmets, I'll run right at you. Yeah. That's the fun. Yeah. Well, and then you got to think, like, those were some of the best drills when you played football. Well, are you just hit each other?

That was a drill. Yeah. You just line up when guys got the. the ball and you just got to get by him or I forgot the name of it where you have the ball, you lay on the ground and the ball is that in between two of your heads

and the coach just says, and you got to get up and oh that makes me nervous too. And I get the ball this time so you get it and go. That's what I mean. You have all that stuff on. That was fun. Put these two guys in big sumo suits running each other and I'm in.

That I'm in. That I do. That'd be hilarious because I want to do that. thing in the ball really bad. Oklahoma drill is what it was called. Yeah, there you go, Oklahoma. But I want to get in the, yeah, I want to get in those balls. And run each other? I want to get all up in that balls.

You love balls. That one, you know, those, you know, those big hugeers here, are you smack in? Where it's your, other than your little, my little life is sticking out. Yeah, that's fun. This not so much. I want to see my little body flying through the air. I do too. Yes.

Why does the home computer have viruses now? What's this? The Frozen Pigs of. Somebody was on GEOC. He's typing in big booty Latinas. What does that mean? What is P-A-W-G, Josh? Gosh, that's too much, Bush.

I believe I'm out of the woods. For those of you keep checking, my parents are now home. They got home yesterday. Which I... The home is still standing? Is it bad that I'm upset that there wasn't something? I know that makes me... There's going to be something.

I just haven't heard about it yet. Does that make me a bad friend? No. That I wanted their... to have been a phone call? I just don't know yet. Or is your mom trying to be like, no, just leave it. He watched the house. It doesn't matter if he... There might be a little behind the scenes negotiation like you're saying.

Where she... Because I was thinking, what could have I done wrong? Something in the fridge you were supposed to throw away. I was giving no instructions about the fridge. Oh, that's a potential. I'm sorry. I thought you had comments. Oh, Josh. All my fruit salad turned, Josh.

You were supposed to toss until it stayed fresh and aired out. The cat had food the entire time and water the entire time. I took off my shoes to walk around the house, so it's not like, because I was thinking that, like, maybe like, did you wear your boots in the living room, Josh? I don't think I don't think I did. I put all the packages in mail where they were supposed to be. I got no feedback on that. I did.

I went through a mental checklist of what could I have done wrong? I mean, it seems like you were good to go. I think you're all right. The only thing I know I did wrong and he'll deal with it, he's very particular about how he shovels his snow and I ain't shoveling in the way he shovels. What? I ain't, bro.

What do you mean he's particular of how he shovels his snow even? I don't even know what that means. it's snow you toss it yeah but you don't want it too close to the edges of things bro bro if I could explain to you this psychopath not only does he has a particular way how his snow gets shoveled

and I'm not doing that so like if this is the edge of the driveway yeah yeah yeah it's gotta be because you never know we might get six feet of snow so you gotta go beyond it so let me explain to you so like that first time he has to shovel?

Yeah. Does he scoop and walk it into the yard? Oh, yeah. Or throws it. And then walk back because he's not walking on the lawn. My mom made him get a snowblower after we graduated. Yeah. Yep.

So he has a snow thrower. Okay. But I want you to envision the mail. The mailbox is the real key here. Okay. Because I don't, I've never understood this. The mailbox has to be cleared of snow. Road?

Mailbox? The one by the road. Okay. I know what I'm saying is it by the road? By the road. Okay. Has to be cleared of snow. So when I say that to you, what does that mean to you? And as a person that hated when the mail person would drive on to my part of my lawn.

When I had a mailbox that was by the road, I would imagine he wants it all around it just kind of cleared so they can just have access to it. Yeah, he wants all around it cleared. How much around it do you think it's cleared? See, that's now. it's going to get the crazy territory, because I would just make it so they didn't have to, you know, be troubled in getting to the mailbox. So just like, like a shovel, like a shovel. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Like you shovel to it and around it. This is a six to eight foot radius. If you went to my parents' house right now, you would see a mailbox with an eight foot radius of nothing. It's just like, it's like the saddest little mailbox with nothing around it. It's cold. It wants to be tucked into the snow. And he thinks all of his neighbors want that too,

so he'll walk around with a snowblower and clear all their mailboxes out too. I love that. That's hilarious. So I didn't do anything with the mailbox. I love overzealous snowblower guy. My dad was that guy in North Syracuse. Well.

Where you'd see him six houses down, just randomly doing some of like the little ladies walkways and stuff like that. There has grown in my parents. Go, bud. In Pennaville, New York, where my parents live. Yeah. There has grown a lot of snowblower enthusiasts.

Oh. To the point where my parents' neighbor has like a tractor with a snow thrower on it. Oh, that's one that's due to the driveway, right? Yes, but like another guy has a thing. And then when I would go check on the house, there was this dude on another tractor who was just going like up and down the road. Oh, I would. I think it's just a bunch of retired guys who are looking for reasons to clear snow.

Oh, I absolutely would. I would do the road if I am like if I had up like a more. private type road or whatever or this in front of my neighbors and us and I had a plow up and down absolutely like I don't think I I don't think that the like there's municipalities that should study NSF in Pennaville New York and how these old men are clearing all the snow the town will come through and be like we didn't it's fascinating dude we didn't do that road yet it's fascinating how is it clear just got like six 80 year old there's like there's like a bunch you dudes and not even, Bob's not even

old, like they're in their 60s, 70s, and it's just a bunch of guys on tractors in Pennaville. And they've all like got this dance going. It's impressive. It's impressive. The street looks phenomenal. No, I used to love removing the snow. I wouldn't be shocked if the town of screwball can just be like

you can skip Ennis. They've already cleared it. I'm saying, they're like they did it. Although I used to hate it because I was on the end of a what the hell is it called where it starts one street like chinkepin started a street over and it was like a big horseshoe type kind of like a call to sack but not really yeah it was just it was huge and i was at the damn end of it so all the snow that would build up would then end up right back into my driveway every damn time and don't get it twisted if i had money for a big ass tractor with a snow blower on it i'd be doing the whole street too yeah i would really be enjoying that i'd be out there clearing all the snow i'd clear you wouldn't see any snow in the town of grambi i'd be i'd clear you wouldn't see any snow in the town of grambi Yeah, they're clearing everything out. No, I get it. By the way, be careful today. Watch out for those ice dams.

Yeah, stuff's going to be slipping. It's going to get over freezing today. So, it's going to be slipping. So check your pumps. Okay, some waters in the basement, and watch out for those ice dams sliding off the roof. There's one right above me when you come out of my apartment building. That I want, I'm like, uh, we,

feel like we should maybe get a ladder over here, maybe knock that down. Or, you got a lawsuit coming here. Before I die, I'll be dead. I don't even get to enjoy it. 315, 365, 4009. Did you rotate the water pipes? That's what that jug of any freeze was for.

I don't think he had water coming in the house. I think he unplugged him. He said everything stopped. Yeah, there wasn't a drop. I don't think he's even turned it on yet. He's like, Tam, we got to get the house up to temperature. That was it. Walking around with candles to heat the house, preheat it.

Yeah, buddy. On Tuesdays, we get into the unexplained. I'm ready. The mysterious cryptids and all. things unsolved on our high strangeness segments. Like the case of who pooped my pain. Who did it? You can't exactly dust for vomit.

Somebody out vomited. And then, uh, no, today. Today is going to be one that I'm barely going to scratch the surface of. I watched almost two hours of content on this last night. Ooh. And I was like, there's no way I can boil this down to like a 10 minute radio segment. I love that. But I'm going to give you a little bit.

And you guys can then do deeper dives. I've got a couple of clips I'll play for you. There we go. There we go. Well, you remember last week, we did the Appalachian Mountains. We were in the Appalachian Mountains with that weird six-legged cat thing. So I was like, what else is going on in the Appalachian Mountains? And a lot.

There's a lot. Yeah, that's usually where most of these shows and things start. In the foothills. The Appalachian Mountains. Stuff out there, right? Sits this. And they. And they go from there.

So today's high strangeness is the story of the moon-eyed people, Cody. I don't know. Now. I don't like the, just the sound of it doesn't sound. I guess the good news is they're not around anymore. So you're not going to bump into these moon-eyed people probably anymore in the Appalachian Mountains. That's what you think.

But the reason, I always say that with all this stuff. The reason this is going to be if you want to get into a deeper dive, there's so many layers and it got really cool historically. Okay. So the moon-eyed people, here's the big kind of explanation. They're a group of what we believe were humans that lived here before the Cherokee, but they were of an evolution that they were sensitive to sun.

Oh. So they had these big moon eyes. and they lived in caves and only came out at night. So part of the deeper dive you'll have to do on your own is that... That's already weird. Sorry to break this part to you. There were people on this landmass before Chris Columbus discovered it. The Cherokee supposedly came over during the last ice age.

So during the final ice age, the Cherokee were able to cross into whatever this landmass was. Yep. The Cherokee have stories that when they got here Those things were already just being like And the deeper dive you're going to have to do is that Eventually the Cherokee There's two different stories I watched last night One says the Cherokee

Chase them off to the west Okay They were on the East Coast and the Cherokee were like Oh you're weird Get out of here That's how we got Mormon's That's where those came from The other story

that you'll have to do in your deeper dive is that the Cherokee burned them alive in their caves. The moon-eyed people. Now that you say that, I think I have heard a little bit about this. Like the Cherokee... Now that you said them burning them alive in their caves thing.

They realized that these moon-eyed people were just... Were just... I guess they were kind of weak because they couldn't handle the sun. Yeah, they weren't fighting creatures. they were just here. Now you're going to hear, I got two clips from the Y Files and I got a clip from an Appalachia storyteller.

Okay. And the Y Files, he's talking, and by the way, if you're not familiar with the Y Files, you're going to hear a little high-pitched voice check in from time to time. That's Hackelfish. It's a sidekick. It's very funny. But I realize it will be confusing in the audio world.

He talks about, and I'm not going to say this right, Cahokia. So Cahokia is a town. that these alleged moon-eyed people had built. Before the Cherokee got here. It was bigger than London. It was, they had like fortifications. They had built basically what we would have built

during the Revolutionary War and all that stuff. They had like buildings these moon-eyed people to protect themselves. So I'll give you some Y-Files explanation of what the moon-eyed people were. And then I'll give you a little story from an Appalachia storyteller as well. The Cherokee do not consider the Moon-Eyed people white Indians. They say the Moon-Eyed people were a separate race. And there was no evidence of their appearance until...

Until 2015, when the Cherokee County Historical Museum put on a display of a very unusual artifact. A statue of two humanoid creatures about three feet tall and carved from a single block of soapstone hundreds or thousands of years ago was discovered in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. So it was a farmer was digging in his field and discovered this. 2015, the Cherokee has a museum. They're like, yeah, we discover this. We think it's the moon-eyed people. Now, Haclfesh is going to obviously say, is it aliens?

They don't think it was aliens. They think it was just when he said. They were here. Yeah, when he said white Indians in the beginning of that, I guess there was like a tribe of Welsh settlers that came over here. And again, I'm telling you, there's a lot of layers of this. Yeah. Welsh settlers could have, I guess,

uh, so, okay. I'm sorry. High strangers, man. Welsh settlers may have, you know, maided with people who are here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They did the sex to each other. And there may have been some albino genes in those settlers.

So they think that if these were seeing these, quote, moon-eyed people with the blue eyes and they were white, could have been albinism as well. But still. But they don't know. So they discover this statue in this guy's farmlands. And the Cherokee are like, yeah, that's. It's the Moonite people. We've been telling you about them forever.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, you're not going to say it? What? Hell alien. Yeah, a few others have proposed that theory, but for the sake of this video, let's assume that the Moonite people are not from outer space. Obviously an alien. Okay, would you let me get back to this? You got it, Kibisabi. Small and stature, with light skin, light hair, and large round eyes, the Moonite people were said to have lived in Appalachia until they lost a long and bloody war with the Cherokee.

The Moonite people were finally defeated when the Cherokee attacked them during a full moon. Their blue eyes were so sensitive to light that they only came out at night. Even the full moon was too bright for them and the Cherokee took advantage of this. After the moon-eyed were expelled from Cherokee land, they went west and disappeared. But they left a serious imprint

on the land they inhabited. The pre-Columbian city of Cajon. So this is the city that they had built. They built it. That's why they can zip around. Yeah, they can zip on that like a little buck. They built it. Yep.

Tokia is said to have been built by the Moonite people. Cloaca. Cahokia. What I say. At its height, Cahokia's population exceeded 40,000 people and covered about six square miles. Now, for comparison, at this time in history, London, one of the world's largest cities, had a population only of about 15,000 people covering about three square miles, so half the size of Cahokia. In fact, it would take almost a thousand years for a city in North America to reach 40,000 people.

Philadelphia did it about the turn of the 18th century, and no city in North America would reached six square miles until the 20th century. So, Cahokia was a metropolis. What happened to it? Nobody knows. But you can visit the ruins of the city at Cahokia Moundstain Park in Illinois. So like he says here. Illinois, wow, went all the way to.

Right. So you can still explore different parts of Cahokia. If you're just tuning in, this is a big high stranger sign, you can spend a lot of time on this one. It's the moon-eyed people. They were a pre-cherokee, you know, race of people. sensitive delight could only come out at night.

They would battle with the Cherokee for whatever reason. Eventually the Cherokee chase them off out west, but remaining are these buildings they had built. They built. The site is over 2,000 acres

and contains 80 man-made mounds of varying sizes, and it's the largest and most complex archaeological site north of the Aztecs. So if the Moonide people are a local legend to the Cherokee, then we shouldn't expect to see stories

of white Indians or light-skinned, white-haired people anywhere else in the Americas, right? Wait, wait. Have they found Moonite people in other places? They sure have. They did. Oh! They start, that's a good idea. It's an hour video. Oh, we

got two! They have found Moonite people in Utah. They have found... See, Mormons. There's a weird... And again, I couldn't even tell you what video this was. It might be in this Y files. I'll post this

on our Facebook page. There was a weird story of a guy who was exploring these caves, like in this century. Oh. And remember I told you, the Cherokee allegedly burned the moon people alive in their caves. Yep. He goes into these caves and he discovers bones that were like 6'6 from thousands of years ago. Imagine being 6'6.

Right. That, you know, years ago. So they were like, well, were these the Moon-Eyed people, these gigantic Welsh six-foot-six-six-foot-6 red-haired things? I got one last clip. or were the bones their money. The bones are their money. So now you're like, all right, I can go visit these things. You can.

It's called Fort Mountain. It's mystery shroud at Fort Mountain. This one's in Illinois. This clip is from an Appalachia storyteller who talks about specifically the plot of land they had and how they protected themselves from the Cherokee. When the Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto, Spanish, waved proudly over towards his Fort Mountain in the earth. Early days of the 16th century, a mystery of the moon-eyed people was already old.

But the fortress they built in defense of the Cherokee Indians still stood, and once again it protected a white people against the natives. It's still standing today, and the flaming banners of sunrise and sunset. Vault of mystery still unsolved. The semi-circular wall encloses approximately 100 acres on the top of Ford Mountain. The steepness of the cliffs on three sides of the mountain form a natural defense on the east, the south, and the north. The wall contains 29 pits located at intervals of 50 or 60 feet,

which a man might stand waist deep and wield a battle axe or any other weapons he might have handy. But what if the moon-eyed people built this structure as something more than a fort? It turns out that there's actually a significant amount of science behind the positioning of the stones. The wall is in line with the sun's east-west axis, Perhaps the stone structure was a calendar or a means to keep up with a growing season. The northeast position of the wall even aligns perfectly with the summer solstice.

This was important because it's possible that the moon-eyed people used this wall as more than protection. In fact, it's likely that they used it to predict the positions of the sun and the moon in the future. And using this knowledge to know when to plant their crops and when harvest might be late, Oh, that was powerful magic. Still. So they knew.

Powerful magic. Powerful magic. So they built these structures, the city that you can still see parts of out there at this fort. There's so much that you can uncover. If you want to spend time learning about the Moon-Eye people, I encourage you to do it. It's fascinating history, man. Yeah. A lot of weird stuff.

Predating the Cherokee in this country, they had been here for a while. Maybe even people predated the Moon-Eye people. Who knows? Who knows? but they're still finding things all over the place. So cool. That's a good one. That statue was just found in 2015, the two, the two little,

the two little alien looking, not alien things. Yeah, those are the blue-eyed people. Weird. And I hear that if you're, like, if you know any, you know, relatives of Cherokee, they still have stories. Like, I'm sure you can learn, yeah. Or knowing about. They got a lot of stories.

It's the moon-eyed people. They're gone. Gone from. Or are they? Hey. Hi, strangers, baby. My favorite part that came out of yesterday was that we all learned that that bunny sat was people's dressed as grass, and I liked that.

You haven't seen any of those clips? All of that grass out on the field was people in grass costumes. Oh, really? So they could move around. Oh. So there's all this footage of people like going in and out of the stadium dressed as grass. Oh, no, I didn't see any of that. They were like, like, gilly suits.

but like more grassy than gilly suits. Well, that's funny as hell. And they were just sneaking around. I didn't pay attention that much, I guess. So they did a good job. They did a good job. You didn't even know. That's wicked funny.

That's like, so on their little staff thing, it said grass. Foliage. I don't know. Grass. It was sugar cane, right? But I don't know if they were dressed as grass. I don't know. That's fun.

I don't know. I liked it. That's cool. I liked that. I was telling chat that I don't. Maybe it was for. me. I've become a bedbonny fan of. Watch that halftime show three times now.

No, yeah. It's one of those. I like Bad Bunny. I don't know what he's saying, but I like the sound. I like the vibes. Yeah. I like it. He's a good wrestler. He's a good wrestler. I like all you've got to really do. Be a good wrestler. And check. I like it, Mount Bad Bunny. And I was shocked that I was a real wedding, by the way. Right?

You told me that. I didn't even know that. I didn't even know that. And was that really that kid? No, it was nothing. All right. I didn't think so. I was like, that's a big get. 315-364-109. K-rock text line. We'd love to hear from you. Toddler out in Missouri lived my dream as he climbed into a claw game on Saturday. Two-year-old Cooper King, Koup. Koop!

You got to get out of that claw machine, babe. Nope. He climbed up in the claw machine when his parents weren't watching. Took his eye off him for just 15 seconds. It takes a little longer than that. Oh, excuse me. Yeah, that's what I just turned my head for a second. Uh, did you know?

He was stuck inside for 20 minutes before an employee with a key showed up. Here is this mom talking about a go. You're scrolling through Facebook, looking at those reels, thinking, oh, one day that's going to be my child. They're so young still. And, you know, as much as like I was somewhat embarrassed, I was like, you know what? He's safe. He's fine. He's having a good time.

This is going to be a big laugh down the road. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, what are you going to do? He's not going to die in there. Yeah, he's just sitting in there with the sucked animals. It happens at least once a year.

You hear about a kid climbing in a claw machine. Right, if anything, it's just annoying. Although it's very weird how not readily available, like, keys are to these things. Yeah, why to take 20 minutes? Because I know that a lot of them, you know, they're like an outside company or whatever, but you would just think that anything that you would need a key to like that, you would have, whether it's, you know, another company or not. If it's inside your business,

I would want to have immediate access to that. I saw who, where was it? But Lakeview Lanes, I think I saw. Some kid won a PS5 on one of those games. Oh, man. Yeah, I think I'm terrible at all those. I even commented, I was like, this is like a lifelong memory.

That kid won a PS5. I don't know if it was the barber cutter game or one of those games, but I love those things, man. So hard. Yeah, I'm surprised Cousin' J's kids haven't climbed into a claw machine yet. No, but back in the day, you used to be able to reach your hand up.

A lot of those vending machines and stuff, but now they put all those little doors on them. Maybe you need that for children's. Oh, yeah. I don't know if statute of limitations is up, but Cousin Jay and I and my brother Joey, we stole a lot of things over at Striking Sparer. I'll tell you that much.

Yeah, you just reheard. Let's put our hands right up there, yeah. Get down a little stoned animal. We're debating right now. We're master debaters. Because the Beaville School District is toying with the idea starting later. Yeah.

Beaville is Baldwin'sville, for those you don't know. Yep. Um, they right now start high school at 7.35 a.m. And they're considering pushing that to 8.45 to give the kids a little bit later start. Yeah. And I see a lot of people making both sides arguments. I mean, I don't really know what are some of the nose. Well, people are saying you got to get ready for the real world.

So you got to get up early. But that's not always true. Not everybody works at 7 a.m. in the real world. I would say then, yes, then you want them ready by 839. Most jobs do not start at 7.30. Yeah, a lot of them don't start at 7.30 a.m. People hear you hear 8.30. This is another one of those where the people that do that don't really grasp what the real world is themselves.

The real world, you don't get to sleep in enough. Yeah, you do. It's not sleeping at an hour. Not everybody starts at 6 a.m. Not everybody starts at 7 a.m. Well, most of a lot of variations. Yeah, between 8 and 9. I saw a lot of people arguing, well, it's just.

go to bed earlier. I don't think a lot of these kids can. Like I was just saying last night, the varsity game went to like 8.30. So you get home from the varsity game, then you got to eat something. Then you got to do your work, whatever homework you have. You probably can't get to bed until 10 or 11. And again, it's not because these kids are just lazy. That's not what this is. That's not why they're trying to push it back an hour.

It's not they need to sleep more. Let's go to bed early. Yeah, that's not why. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, no, I don't know why. I don't know why there's always like a push that like I have it hard so these kids should have it hard too. Yeah. Don't you want your kids rested so they can have a good day at school and learn? I like that people get to stay up after me. I always stayed up really late in high school.

I've always been a late night guy. And then I started doing mornings and I obviously couldn't stay up late. But I've always liked staying up late. Yeah. But that's the debate they're having. They don't know how it's going to, how it would affect after school activities, what it would do to the bus schedules, teachers, all that stuff. That's where you get the maybe a no from stuff,

is that how hard is it going to be to shuffle schedules? And a lot of these, you know, the bus drivers and stuff, like they're on other schedules and stuff like that. So now you're going to move it around. And teachers and parents have different schedules. I don't know. I can see both sides of it. I would lean more towards let them start late and let them, you know,

just sleep in or get sleep. There's no, because then with the, that's on the same, the people that are like, well, go to bed earlier, damn teens. Mm-hmm. All right, then you of all people, Mr. Damn teens, know that they ain't going to be paying attention to no 7.30? Because there's no way they're paying attention. It's 730.

You got to be realistic. I am just never like the, I had it tough when I grew up, so you should have it tough when you grow up. Like I, we should be better as, you know, the next generation should do better than us. Because studies prove that later starts improves their schooling. Much like, and I hate to say that maybe they were right, taking these cell phones out of the kids' hands has really kind of improved their learning throughout the day. Yeah, let them use them to help with, you know, questions and all that stuff,

but not in class for texts and fear frame. So if studies show they can sleep an hour longer or whatever and get a later start to their school day, that helps them, then why wouldn't we do that? But I can also see the shifting that happens where it's like now, what? Now I've got to go to a basketball game at 7 p.m. instead of 5 p.m. Like, does that shift all of that? It pretty just probably, well, moves it. I mean, I don't know if it messes with the sports schedules,

because a lot of them are, you've got to think that they don't start right when school gets out. There's always that little chunk. There is that chunk of time. Now it's, all right, school's out. Get your ass down to changing and stuff. Yeah, and I think that you grew up in a weird school, because Texan is saying ESM starts at 9. You started late, you said.

Yeah, we started wicked late. Well, I mean, you weren't getting late. That wasn't just you. That was everybody starts at 9? Yeah. Yeah, that wasn't just a me one. My schedule, that was when we all started. That's an ESM thing.

That's pretty cool, I guess. I mean, I used to do, I did the TV news, though, so I would get there at, you know, earlier than everybody. So it's still kind of defeat the purpose of start at 9, but I love that because then you get the good parking spots. Yeah, and I feel like people sometimes, don't remember what it was like to be a teenager. Like, I know that you're in your 30s and 40s now,

but these are like 14-year-old kids. They're not even developed yet. Their brains aren't even grown all the way. Yeah. So if this helps, I don't know. It's an interesting debate. I can see both arguments. I would lean towards letting them sleep in,

let them get a little bit later start and then get in there. Yep. Whatever that does. Same zies. Cody, we are living through, and I don't know if you've probably been as aware of it as I am with two teenagers. But the 90s are back. Everything's 90s again, people love the 90s.

I've seen a lot of the like the trends of outfits and clothes and stuff like that. If you go to like Target, you can get portable CD players and portable cassette players. Yeah. Ceddy players, no. Cets?

You don't want any of this. No. CD players, yes. Yeah, that'd be fun. Yeah. Because back when you and I were growing up, everything was like 70s. The 60s and 70s was cool. Yeah.

Maybe even a little 80s. So now we're at the point where the 90s are back. And people, the youth, are asking, and this is a BuzzFeed article, which means somebody on Reddit probably asked it, and BuzzFeed wrote an article about it. They like to discover the 90s. People like teenagers now are asking, well, what wasn't so great about the 90s? Because there was a lot of stuff that wasn't great.

Like we can all nostalgia, you all have that little nostalgia itch, but there was a lot that wasn't that great. Diesel's WWF title run really well. wasn't the best from like 95 to 96 until Sean. Uh-huh. You know, the Brett and then handed it over to Sean. Then it picked up.

But right about there, I mean, you want to talk like those battles with Mabel all the time. All right, good. Oh, wait, we, not talking.

Well, I can say that like, um, I don't know. I can. It was great. It does feel great, but there was a lot.

It's when I broke all my bones and everything mostly, but still great. It was great because it was the last time we had no, like, I had no responsibility. in the 90s. Yeah. My job was to be a kid bouncing around.

So they asked, what was some things that weren't great about the 90s? Somebody said, cigarette smoke was everywhere. You'd go into a restaurant, you're going to smell cigarettes. You'd go on it. They never bother me. I don't think it bothered me. But I was also a child. I don't remember.

I mean, wasn't our best for our health. Yeah. But it wasn't ever, I never really cared in it. Yeah. I mean, my dad always kind of smelled like cigarettes, so I didn't, wasn't offended by it. Well, and smoking makes you cool, kids. Absolutely. So obviously there was a lot of cool people hanging out.

I mean. Technology and how much it was. And a good point of that is to get a big TV back in the 90s was a major flex. But they're saying this is, I guess, almost a list for now what you look back. Yes, that it is. Back then, you were like, oh, man, I wish I had a 50-inch flat screen. We didn't know that would be $100. at Walmart in our lifetimes.

Yeah. Um, oh, this was a nightmare. When you wanted to date someone, you'd have to call their home and potentially have their parents pick up. Yeah. Now we're talking. That sucked.

Because that used to suck, especially if the dad didn't like you. Kids now can cut their parents out of all their relationships. They're Snapchat and each other. They're TikTok. When you found that one of your girlfriends, friends that was, was a girl in high school or earlier had their own line. Rosa had her own line. It was the, you're it.

Rosa had her own line. That almost made you more attractive. Rosa always had boyfriends though, so I was never looking to date Rosa. Yeah, me and her, we always had her own line, so I was never really calling her house. But we used to, we used to have a move. You would do the call and you let it hang up. That's the way the girl would know to call you back because the dad would always be, what do you want?

Yeah, my first girlfriend ever had the scariest dad. and he was big and burly with a mustache and he didn't say many words, but I'd be like, my voice can't go as deep as this man's voice. I was like, is she home? Hold on.

Or worse, worse than dad to me was older brother. Oh, she had that too. Older brother was. Yeah, what do you want? Can I talk to her? For what? For who?

Who are you? Get off the phone. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, that did suck. Also going back to technology, people asking, what about the 90s wasn't so great? We didn't have all the movies any time we wanted. I mean, streaming is pretty dope, you guys.

Yeah, and the funny thing you put up on Whiskey Wednesday all the time is like top-notch, number one, you just said that, is the lack of porn. Oh, it was nowhere. From the 90s. It was nowhere. It wasn't like now. where it's just I could have a burginer on my phone in 12 seconds if I want. No, no.

These teens are, no phone. These teens are gooning out like crazy now. We got, we had nothing back then. I just learned what that means. Gooting? So I was on TV a bunch and then I was like, what is that? And I looked it up, so now I know. Yeah, they're gooning out.

Yeah, they're gooning out. They're gooning out. Back then it was, like you said, was that a nipple? Is that an elbow? You don't know. You never knew? Can I hear a moan? I think maybe that's why I'm so, like,

audio focused, because I couldn't see the naked ladies, but I could hear moaning and slapping. And at some point, I believe they were making macaroni and cheese. Yeah, it's crazy. How much mac and cheese they used to making the horns back in the 90s. They made so much mac and cheese or, like,

someone's boot was stuck in the mud or something. I don't know what was going on. Yeah. This was true. Hearing a great song, but not knowing how to find out. it. So, like, I know it's cliche now. Yep. If you're, if you're listening to the radio and I play a song and then I say what the song was.

Yes. That's all we had back then. Yes. We didn't know what that song we just heard on the radio was. No, you had to wait for. I couldn't shazam it. Jirks like us to tell you what the song was. And hope that they come back and be like, oh, that was Len would steal by sunshine. I don't know why my brain went to Len, but okay. Yeah. No, that would I would. That would have been. Hey, what was that last song you guys just played? That was Len, steal my sunshine. Okay, thanks. Was the new radicals?

I don't know if this ever happened to me, but when a friend would move away, you'd probably never hear from him again. Like, if you had a friend that moved away, unless you made an effort to call or write this person. I have a couple in my head where I remember we were friends with this kid, and he left in like second or third grade, and then I remember him popping up,

on like Facebook. Uh-huh. And he had a very like, you're like, I remember that kid's face. And you, I remember clicking and messing and be like, are you that, that from that?

Yeah. And you're like, yeah, that was me. And it's, it was weird because now Facebook allows you to do that. But that really would be the case. They would,

you, you'd be gone. You would graduate second grade. Yeah. And come back for third and be like, did we? I mean, Harry Bush is the best example ever.

Third grade Miss Mentrax class, that mean old bitch, she's dead. It wasn't matter. That's all right. We had Harry Bush. Was a real kid. I swear to God, a real kid.

Okay. Red-haired Harry Bush. Oh, that poor kid. We graduated third grade. Never to be seen again, Harry Bush. Harry, if you're out there, 315, 3,6, 4, 1009. We want to reconnect you with Cody. Where did you go, Harry Bush?

He's been thinking about you all this time. All right. Oh, I hated. Miss Mantra. Not to put any, not to put my family's, like, private business out there, but that's also a running gag in my wife's family. because her brother had a best friend named Larry who moved away and he just never saw him again.

So we always make jokes about like, I wonder what Larry's up to right now. Right. Because he'll bring him up. He'll be like, here, Larry and I used to play. Where are you at? We never know where he went. Larry.

You vanished back in the day. Harry and Larry are gone. But yeah, that was weird. And I didn't know about it, but I have to imagine that was such a fun time for my parents. Why? To have someone named Harry Bush in my class. Oh, my God.

Forget about it. And me probably not understand it. Forget about it. That's great. Ms. SJLC says when someone would pick up the phone, you weren't on the internet anymore. Yeah, you kids don't understand that. You're just done. You don't.

No. The internet could be turned off. Yep. And like, it was kind of a beautiful thing, and I, we're never going back to it, but I wish we would. Is that the internet was a stationary location that you could walk away from. Yeah. Like, you would go to the computer. room, you would check in with the internet.

Yep. Let me just see you send it real quick. You would see what's on the internet. Yep. You'd have a little bit of it. In my case, I had a lot of it. And then you'd get up and go about your day. And the internet stayed there. It was there. It was there. It's too much. It was not coming with you. It's too much. Anyways, what were some of the things that weren't so great about the 90s?

And then, yeah, obviously there's tragedies and you're columbine and all that too. Not so great. We don't need to get so dark. But plenty of not great things of the 90s. K-Rock tax line 315, 365, 104, 1009. He was never drunk or anything. No. One. This is K-Rock.

That you know of. Well, I mean, not for us, but we were like, yeah. He was keeping it together. Yeah, you let that old man be. Oh, hooy, ho. This is K-Rock. I remember, like, that guy, that... Bunch of people who left the ESM are bringing up teachers you used to have.

Yep. We each had a couple bad teachers. And again, yeah, they were probably bad. But it was also... Oh, no. No, I was a lot. We're a lot. That's, yes.

I think that we took teachers that were already a little grumpy. Yep. And just kind of pushed them over the edge. Well, the problem was, yeah, you get the- Not all on them is what I'm saying. No, but a lot of what those teachers from our era had to deal with is that you didn't have as many people like us yet. No. So when you did, and we weren't going to not be ourselves because some 70-year-old.

old teacher that it's got tenure that, you know, I mean, refuses to change her ways, but acts like it's a 1950s one-room schoolhouse. Yeah. The teacher who told my mother, and I've told you this story many times, that quote, she wanted to strangle me and watch the air leave my face. Yep. Or whatever,

the life leave my face. She wanted to kill a child is what she said. Right. You're like, I'm going to remember that part. You know? And that was horrific. But that same year, I had Mrs. Robbins, who was one of my favorite teachers of all time. And she's still out there.

She's not teaching anymore, but she was fantastic. That's what I mean. Other than the one I mentioned, the teachers that going to school were, like, the best. Yeah. So they're, any of the hardest jobs. It's not easy. But, again, you know, you and I come with a lot.

Yes. There's a lot of us here. But if you just, you know, you learn how to deal with that and let ourselves burn ourselves out. And then what was it? So when does Central New York get one of these? The Orange County Police. department, sheriff's office, sheriff's office, unveiled their newest fleet vehicle,

an ice cream truck. It's driving around, give it out ice cream. Wait, how it... A sheriff's? Yeah, here, they'll tell you how they got the money. This is our brand new, Orange County Sheriff's Office, ice cream truck. We're going to take this truck around, and we're going to visit

some of our neighborhoods and give out ice cream to kids. Here you go. And that's all in an effort to be. better engaged with our youth. I like it. And to build trust between our youth and the sheriff's office. Oh. The best part about this is this was purchased with seized drug money.

Yeah. Free ice cream. We are not charging anyone for the ice cream. No one is charged for the ice cream. That's cool. Although, if I was like an ice cream truck, I'd be like, bro, what are you doing? Yo, for free, bro? Yeah, I'd be slashing the tires.

Right? It's that King of Queens episode. When I'm going to be chasing you around there in your ice cream truck. Man. No, I love. like that. I, all joking aside, I like when the, you know, local officers and stuff like that try to build community rapport. That I like. That's important for, you know, respect on both sides and all that stuff. And they have the kids feel like they can talk to the officers that they need to. The officers can put like,

you know, they're not just a faceless criminals. And especially when troubled times show up later and a kid can see an officer that they know and knows that the officer knows them, that's a nice comfort to have as well. So I like that part of it. Just if I'm Cody's ice cream, I'm all like, hey, whoa, you got a banana in your tailpipe. Cody and I are just a couple of previous former babies.

We don't know how to talk to police officers. Maybe they should bring us some ice cream, so we're not so nervous. I mean, I'm a dog in a jacket. I am very nervous around officers. They should maybe bring a couple of Dairy Queen Blizzards over here all of a sudden. I would feel a little less scared about it. Oh, what was that?

Oh, no. Is that a policeman? I'm scared. It looked like I had a blue light on top of it, but it was just a little bit of snow. I'm sorry. Syracuse City Police can just bring us some cookie witches. I feel a lot less nervous. That's all right.

New York State Sheriff's Department just brought us a couple of blizzards. I feel so much less nervous. Oh, that's had an officer just. door dashed me, that blue bunny ice cream? Oh, when a sudden. I feel so safe. I got a warm feeling. Leguilli is here. Anthony LaGuilli.

Leguilliata for his monthly visit. And I will say that those are the best ribs I've ever had my life. But before we get into all of this, Anthony, as you posted this clip yesterday, I'll share it. This is when you were out plowing snow before you became an advertiser and a friend to all that stuff. You just texted him to say that you were out plowing snow, and this was us attempting to pronounce your,

name back in 2021. Shout out to Nolan and Anthony. I'm going to butcher this construction name. Leggu... Okay. Lig Oh my goodness. Oh. Yeah. Uli. Liguli construction. Leguli?

Oolie Uli. L. L. Well, hey, Nolan and Anthony with Big L. construction. Yeah. Big Al. We called it Big Al construction. And it just keeps going. Oh, it's three minutes on Anthony's

Facebook page. You left the subject and then you came back. Because I could not believe the letters I was seen combined into a name, but we've made such an annoying commercial where I go, Ligwilly! It worked out perfect. Everyone knows how to say your last name Ligwilly. Ligweary! All right.

Before we get into what we're going to get into, Cody, I want you to try these ribs because he smoked ribs last night. All right. You're not familiar with Anthony's monthly segment. Yeah, he's going to talk, you know, his construction business, but he's a phenomenal smokeologist. I got to play.

Yeah, do you want to play? And tell me what was your process with these ribs last night? Honestly, I just peeled the membrane and then seasoned salt and pepper. What did you say build the membrane? Oh my God. What is that? I peeled the membrane. Okay.

The silver skin on the backside, I peeled that. Or you can score it with a knife. And then all you do is you rub it with whatever rub you want to use. I use salt and pepper and mazes seasoning. Yeah. Right, dude? It's all good. Yeah.

That's incredible. I know. It's like candy. And I like a dry rub whip. Dry rub. myself as well. How long that he's taking the smoker? So, six hours.

Okay. I just do the three, one method. What is that? While you smoke them for three hours, then you wrap them for two hours, and then you put the sauce on for an hour and you get that pullback. But you basically do 225 for three hours, and then you do $250 once you wrap them, and then you take them

out of the wrap for the last one hour, and then you can put the glaze on it, and then you turn the heat up and it gets to pull back. Yeah, you just pull back to tenders. They actually meet the... Tenderism, dude. to grab the ribs. But that, so I actually smoked them.

And once I wrapped them, I put them in the oven because it's cold out. And I just threw them in the oven. But once you wrap them, you're not smoking them anymore. You're just kind of baking them. Are we having this conversation right now? Well, how good those ribs are? I know. That's so good.

I know. I had ribs the other day from a local place. And it was so sad. I was so sad. Nope. Yeah. And I was sad about the mac and cheese. The brislet was good.

The sausage was really good. The homemade sausage, but I was sad about the mac and cheese. That's got to be a big problem about it. You can't go out to certain places anymore because you're like, it's really sad. I don't, I do it better. And it's true. And it's true.

And he will open a restaurant at some point. One day. One day, he will be a truck and then that'll progress. I know. I know. All of a sudden, you won't need one of the trailers for construction,

but all of a sudden, wow, that's a really nice trailer for a kitchen. Put a window in there. Yeah, like, 20206, I decided it's going to be the year where I really start whatever my business is going to be. I don't know what it's going to be. There's been several trucks. I don't know what it is. Parkered over there.

A whiskey's all sold out. Are you going to do it again? No. I think I'm done in the whiskey world. No, I like him and his, well, it's more your wife's, right? The baked goods truck. Yeah, wife wants to do a baked goods truck. I'm all about that.

Cousin Jay and I want to bring back, you don't remember Sports Star 2000, but it was Cousin Jay and I's favorite spot. We wanted to bring back a big spot for, like, kids to play. Oh, my God. I was just thinking about that. So, like, my office is right across from like where, not Funscape, but where like a Funscape, just to be in New Syracuse.

I was thinking about Funscape as a kid. It was so cool. All they have is trampoline parks. So all trampoline parks are just big arcades now, and it used to be something different. I despise arcades. The card makes me so frustrated. Why does it make you frustrated? I'll tell you why it makes me frustrated.

Because, one, the kids don't learn the value of money, and they don't get the reward from getting their tickets and stuff like that. And then I have to have more in my pocket, like I had different cards in my pocket. And then you go to restaurants. I'm not going to be name dropping, but they put in the card machines there. But the car machines there. I don't want a card for every single place. I'll tell you why the cards piss me off.

Because it never works out to an even number. Oh, my God. Your card always has like two points on it. I have two left. And none of the games are, you can play for two points, so I just got this card that's useless. My wife has that card in her wallet right now

because I refuse to put it in there. But it's like, give me the tokens. Like, I love, you know, like you can't do cash lists anymore. Like they're starting to make those rules. money. I want to give my daughter money. This is the money you have to spend. Use it wisely. That's how you learn. But if they don't learn,

you spend more money, you listen to you. My tip to you, one of the best things I ever did for my kids is I sign them both up for green light cards, their debit cards. So whenever they do chores, I can put $10 on their green light, or whenever they get birthday money, they can put it on the green light. And they can check their balance,

and they check their balance every day, and they can see what they can afford and what they can't afford, and then when they spend it, it comes off the balance. It's been really good for them. I don't know if your kids are old let's have debit cards. No, no, no. There's six and two. Yeah, no, mine are teenagers.

That's why they have it. A two-year-old's ready. Two-year-old is ready to get out there. You definitely, I can see, I can see the card being nice. And I like, because, like, with the card, in theory, you spent 12 to 15% more. So, like, you see, you have to learn both of them. You got to understand how to use both of them because so many, like, I got a credit card debt when I got to high school. Sure.

I knew the system, and then it just catches up. No. I'm trying to help our kids not make the same mistakes I made. Absolutely. Like, I've always been very nervous about money and, like, not having enough money. So I'm like, do you see how much things cost? So when you're like, can we just go to Panera for lunch?

Do you see how much Panera costs? My mom helped that big time when I was growing up immediately. As soon as I could, she got me the credit card. Yeah. And she's like, here's what we're doing. If you want anything, Snickers, jeans, if you got it, put it on that credit card, immediately give me the money for that Snickers or the jeans. And she goes, and that'll start teaching you a little life lessons on stuff.

They learn pretty quick, how expensive? of everything they think is just, oh, this is easy. All the money in the world. My daughter wants to go to Disney. And I never been, so I'll go once, but that's expensive. Disney, we went one time and that's all I need to go. Yeah, and I'm not a big fan of, like, lines and anxiety. Once I get in, I'm good, but like just the process of getting in, going there.

Like, that's the thing about a cruise ship. You're like waiting to get on, waiting to get off. Yeah. Just like, once I get on, I'm good. Then you're good to go. I kind of work myself up a little bit. But you didn't mention something about trying to think about your new business. So I actually, I'm in the process of starting a new business.

Yeah, we do. Not a food truck, but I'm going to start a nonprofit. Oh, good. And I'm going to offer handyman services for free. Oh, that's nice, dude. I'm going to use profits from my company to feed into that. And then eventually, like, I'll solicit donations and stuff. I'm in the process of doing, like, the 5-1-C3 and getting all that squared away.

Oh, you're the best, Anthony. You're a damn good dude. I've been wanting to do something. And every time I've looked at all their organization, they just, they don't operate the same way. And I like to do, I like to be in charge. I like to come up with ideas. I want to have a voice. So I've always, like, shied away from that.

Like, I sponsor stuff in the community. Sure, sure, sure. The wreaths? Yeah, and the hospice when they do the field, moving night in the field. Okay, cool. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, I think so. At the Lines Bank, but they do.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yep, yep, yep, yep. So I try to give back that way, but, like, one organization, they wanted me to pay five grand just through volunteer with them. I was going to give them labor. I was going to give them space. And they wanted $5,000 just to volunteer. I was shocked.

So your nonprofit's going to be like, you know, family needs repairs. You're going to do it. Absolutely. Single mom needs a roof or whatever. You're going to do that kind of stuff. So I'm going to start with small because I only have so much money. Yeah, right, right, right. So with the handyman, my mind is always going.

So it just came up to me at line of Cups. I was like, oh, I told my wife that day. She's like, whoa, whoa, well, the kids are going crazy. I can't talk to you. I need to talk to right now. I just figured everything out. So if I do the handyman, it's lower costs and I can use different skilled labor because maybe someone needs to help clean out a garage or anything like that.

so I can get more volunteers and get more people to help out. And I can stretch my dollar farther. And then if it grows, then I don't half but anything. So I assume it's going to grow. And then we can get more money and have more money to do more bigger renovations for people and things like that. This is why I love Anthony. He's just a good dude doing good things. It's literally the exact opposite of you here, you know, all the shady construction guys.

He's the opposite of that. Yeah. Exact opposite. He's trying to do good in this world. Well, whatever business I come up with, it would be for profit, whatever one I come up with. Nothing wrong with that. I'm looking to make some money. Different for profit business for me.

It's handy something. Well, your for-profit business can go into your nonprofit. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's the goals. I like giving back, too. Yeah, it's a tool. So, like, I've been trying to find a Y for construction. Like, I didn't plan to do this.

This just kind of happened. I've been trying to find my Y. And I did a work conference last week, and I finally found my Y. What does that mean? Oh, your Y, like, W.H. Yeah, what motivates me? Why am I doing this? And, like, now that I actually, it's not, I don't really care about the money aspect of it.

But now I can grow and the bigger I grow, that means I'm funding money to what I want to do. So that funds that. Yeah. You know this guy? I was super excited. I got it, like, emotional when I talked, I had to give a presentation. And, yeah, I'm ready. It's good.

Cody and I are the same way. We both like to get back. When Cody gets a house, I know he's going to have $100 over there. He's just going to have so many dogs. Yeah, we like to help. I had like 20. Not maybe not 20, but I think he had like 15 dogs. They had puppies and there's just so many dogs.

So cute. I just like giving back to the community that I've grown up in and that has given me so much. And I think the same for all of us. You know, that's a great little sidebar there, Anthony. We'll keep an eye on that. But first of all, let's promote your business that makes you the money to fund. Wouldn't you want to work for a boss like this? There you go.
