The Show - TASTE OF TUESDEE

Episode Date: June 2, 2026

Boys are back after a sneaky three-day weekend, but Josh has rave reviews for Beak & Skiff. Don’t call a methamphetamine enthusiast a “meth head” or prepare for trouble. ‘High Strangeness’ heads to South Africa. Carrie & Down stopped down to get us ready for this weekend’s Taste of Syracuse. Plus, plants talk with Cindy Paine. Treats from ‘Sweets For Babe’ & 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. Birthday! Somebody.

out there, I'm sure. Hey, Coco. Uh-huh. This is just, see. Listen, I had a busy weekend and we took a Monday off. What are you going to do about it, you know? Hey, yeah. And you know me, first day of pride, I go crazy.

You know me. Honestly, that's... You know me at midnight, June 1st, first day of pride. Yep. My shirt's off. I'm at a club somewhere. I go hard. He's got the nipple tassels of plenty.

I got those going for me. You know how I get with Pride. So, You know, I mean, he's basically the... I get crazy. I get crazy. The spokesman for many of the places around here. Yep.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And it was... You were probably celebrating Pimpanella's return to AAA. Smash an original Al-Grande over the head with a guitar. Oh! What did I see? That's real big down there.

Those type characters. The joke I saw was they haven't been able to replace Ray Mysterio, so they found a German to play an American to play a Mexican. Yep. To go be the biggest lucha in the company right now. Yep. It's the most over guy down there. It's crazy.

It's the most over guy down there. Yeah, good morning, everybody. I was at, and not to ruin Rob, because I was talking to Cody about it. Because Obo was back, and I didn't like, I didn't like how Brock just, like, came back and beat him. But then you kind of explain what's going to happen here. It's leading up to SummerSlam. They were like, this is what we're going to do. We're going to go and do a whole thing.

You know, they have a whole program to go through instead of just, you know. And how does the king of the ring tournament work now? So is every Raw going to have a king of the ring? Because I saw the bracket. Yeah, I misunderstood the brackets when they came out. I read it as it was going to be Oba versus Penta and then, you know, not fatal four ways, all the plenty. but yeah now they're going to go until there's something coming up in June

and I already forget the name of it. The next Bring name live event. Sure. And then the winners get title matches at SummerSlam. Okay. All right. And that's in Minneapolis this year? Yeah, that's why it's a little confusing

the whole Oba Brock thing. Because if, you know, he wins. Then does he retire? I don't know. Or does Brock come back and that's how they set up the third. He costs some King of the Ring. I don't know. There's probably a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff.

We don't know what's going on. So just two big meaty men slapping meats. Are they done with Italy now? Are they coming back to the States? I don't know if they do. I don't think I think NXT is here. Sure. But I don't know.

I don't think Smackdown is over there. They might go somewhere else since they're over there. Might as well hit up a couple like they were, they did before. Like they were doing the England stocks and such. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They might pop around. a little bit. All my times are all screwed up.

Cody texts me yesterday saying, hey, Raw is on at 2 today. Yeah. I go, oh, yeah, I guess that makes sense because they're still over there. Anyways, everybody, it's Tastes of Syracuse week. We've got a busy week out of us. Hell yeah.

Got a busy week ahead of us. Your old pickle pouch over here, your old pickle bitch. Pickle slapper. Right here, a little cool little pickle bitch right here, Coco. It's got a busy weekend tickling pickles out there. Tateauce.

We'll talk to Carrie. This morning about that. Lots of stuff going on. get settled in to a June bug. Yeah. June 2nd. Well, the June bugs are out. June bugs are out, baby.

Let's get going. Happy Tuesday. Yes, we are back. Hello. Hi, how do you do? I was almost so excited, but I ate it. You said yesterday, you just said, I wish I had an apple right now. And I had an apple with me yesterday when I was in here filming the punch thing.

Yeah. And I thought that I just stuck. in the fridge and I was like, oh my God, yes, yes, yes. I ate it. I'm sorry. You were going to present me with an apple. That would have been a pretty baller. Yeah. That would have been a pretty baller.

Oh, you mean like this apple? I'm afraid do I eat an apple right now. My teeth are so weak. I don't know. That's good for them. You have no idea. Apples are good for them. How conscious I am of chewing lately.

I get it. I absolutely would be. Oh, I'm like an old man. I'm pushing up my food. But you're healthy. It's not like you're an unhealthy. Oh, you're not like you're an unhealthy person. You take care of yourself.

But for those you're not following my life, I've cracked two teeth in the course of maybe just because a month and a half. We're old. That's all. I'm old. I'm falling apart. I'm grinding my mouth and, uh, I'm stressed. Yeah. A baked apple.

Go on. Like without a pie, you're just baking an apple? You never had a baked apple? No. It's all a very old person thing. I might need it with my weak teeth. It's good though. Weak lungs, weak ankles, weak teeth.

And then you have a little ice cream with it. Oh, you? You know what? It's like a quick. It's not as delicious. How do you just bake an apple, though? Exactly. On a tray?

Yeah. I just, I actually, a couple times I've done it, I just had a pie dish. And they're just little floppy, cinnamon-y kind of apples? Yeah,

you can just... And you put them on your ice cream. That's what I did with it. Very nice. Well, it is a Tuesday. I had a very busy weekend. What were you up to this weekend? Getting ready for taste?

Anything going on? Plant swap and then... Oh, yeah. Then bunch of getting ready for taste stuff. Now it's the, the crunch time, if you will. Big week for our cocoa. Yep, yep, lots going on.

Let's talk about the plant swap. Guys, I can talk about it all day. What a fun event that was on Saturday. Yep. I forgot the one plan from here I was coming. That's all right. That's all right. But I got plenty in return.

I, I, first of all, I'm always pleased and pleasantly surprised at how many people support our stupid ideas. I'm not even taking credit for this idea. This was more of a you guys idea. Yep. I know that you liked plant swaps. It was a thing that was happening. Dunes is big into them.

So she's talked about it a few times and it kind of just spiraled. Friends at Crazy Daisies were like, sure, we've never done one. Come do it here. And so many people showed up. And it was just a fun, like, I posted on my social media that, like, this weekend was just like good for my soul. Yes, yes. People coming together. It was busy in itself, the place.

Yeah. But when I pulled into that parking lot and saw that the parking lot was full, it made me so happy. Yeah. Because honestly, yes, like this was from everybody else, but this wasn't us of that. Like, we did this. Yeah. Like, yes, Kim up there helped and, you know, found us crazy daisies and stuff like that. Sure.

But, like, we did that. Yeah, this was all promoted to the show fan and everybody who was listening. So that's awesome and gives hope. for something else. We all came to gather. Yeah, Ken says, can confirm the wife enjoyed herself, brought home a couple cool petunias.

I know the Fuzz loved it, Dunes loved it, everybody who came out. I didn't know what to expect, but it turned out being exactly what I wanted it to be. It was better than I thought. Yeah. The amount of people that brought the coolest, I felt like a loser.

I didn't, I brought just like, someone's like, all right, let's see, I'll give this away all my propagating plants. Yeah, yeah, yeah. People brought like, they're legit plants. Legit plants. There was a show bro there.

I don't know anything about it. But like pond stuff. He had like stuff you could put in your pond. He had wicked cool. And I just remember that I thought I had it and forgot the name Rabbit. Something. He had a bunch of pond stuff. If you were doing pond stuff at home,

we maybe had some extracurricular plants show up to be swapped. I got one. Which I was like, oh, are plant people going to be upset about that? No, they were way into it. It was awesome. Because you learn about it. You learn about it, yeah. Sarah gave me a snake plant.

Showgirl Kelly gave me a snake plant and a painting. He started getting snake plants of plenty. I love it because now that they're in my office and I got plants I'm growing. What a just fun, silly event, man. There was that one mini show girl with her family. The kid that came out with a wagons full of plants? Yeah. She's got so much.

And then she gave me a ton. I've got so many. Yep, that was crazy. They were a bunch of people that just showed up because they didn't know who we are, and that's fine. No, that was great. We were on some, I guess, like, local plant swap page. And that was awesome. People were showing up.

And everyone would show up, but they had their plants. And they'd go, what do we do? And I go, I don't know. I think you just kind of hang out and we talk to each other. And that's what we needed. That's what we did. We all just talked as a community. Drink those delicious mimosas.

I got a little of my mousal fly. I got that pizza. You got a veggie pizza? I got that pizza. Yeah. It had vegetables all over it. And it was delicious. Look at all the non-baby mouth activities, Cody did.

Friday, he ate all that amazing Colombian food that had vegetables in it. Yep. Saturday he's getting a vegetable pizza. Because it's more, not so much the baby mouth thing isn't, you know, flavors. It's the touching. Of many, a lot of things It gets me. Yeah.

For me, it's the flavors. Tomatoes are disgusting to me. Tomatoes and onions are gross. But this, I could have done without the red onions on it. Sure, sure. But other than that, everything else was phenomenal. Yeah. That was so good.

And let's not forget that you picked up a freaking tortoise. Yo, big old fat turtle. Look at Daisy in YouTube. Daisy says, worth the drive from A Bay. Yeah. Daisy came down from A. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

How awesome. How sweet was that? Thank you for coming, Daisy. I don't know, man. It was just a. beautiful soul healing experience. You know, you watch the news and you get online. Everybody's arguing and mad.

Those people that are mad online all day, they don't go out and interact. No, because that was way more fun picking up a big fat turtle than arguing with people on the internet. This tortoise was 14 years old. It's true. Going to live into the hundreds. Which I was thinking, that's a, like, you have to will that to somebody. It's going to outlive you. When I die, you're going to take this big fat turtle.

When I die, the tortoise is yours now. This tortoise was adorable, way faster. I guess I don't know anything about tortoises. This thing was cooking. They could move quick reel for like short little bursts. And when she was like, oh, let's careful. Pick him, he's about 50 pounds. I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.

And I went and I was like, oh, my God, yeah, he's about 50 pounds. The photo is on the K-Rox C&Y Facebook page underneath all the plant swap stuff. I took a picture of Cody holding the tortoise. But at one point it saw a ball and went to go play with a ball? I'm like tortoises play with balls? I don't know anything about tortoises. Yeah, very funny. It was adorable.

Everybody showed up. We had a great time. A couple of people brought dogs. That was good. Then I go to see cake. I went to cake that night. Where did you get a shirt? I got a shirt right there.

I like that. I got a cake shirt over at Beacon Skiff. And I'll give the flowers to Beaconskiv. Flowers. They have not given into the concert greed yet. No, it still is still. It is such a great venue. My first time going over there.

Yeah, I've just saw the pictures. So it was back. It's like back kind of when you've. Yeah. Okay. It's like, you know, when you're on like the Apple campus and like all the buildings are in a circle

and there's the building with the tall spire thing right behind that. It's like a field you would never go to for any other reason. Well, it's like when it gets real busy sometimes back in the day, they would make you park over there. So that was awesome. And I will tell you this,

it is shocking to pull into a concert and they're like, yeah, parking's free. Right? We're not going to charge you for parking. Yeah, biggest gift is chill about that. They're very cool. They haven't fallen into the concert greed yet. where it was like, everything is $1,000 parking, $20.

Oh, that water, $10. No. I was shocked by everything. We're like, we'll make our money. We don't need to kill everybody. Parking was free. Super easy. We walk over to, like, the most perfect venue because it's like on a hill.

So it's like naturally a venue. Yep. Yep. Wife and I post up with Rob and Jojo at a picnic table. Marissa showed up at some point. My only complaint is that I wish it was a little louder. If you were way in the back, if you were way in the back, it was fine. You heard the show and it was fine.

I just like, maybe my ears are a little busted, but it's a little louder. And it probably just disappears. You're up on a hill and it just goes out. It's got nothing to bounce off of it or anything. What a freaking venue that place is, man. You get a chance to get out there. Shout out Beacon Skiff. Yeah, if you haven't been there in like 10 years, you're missing out.

You're missing out. Yeah. It's a cool place. Yeah, Katie was right up front and center in the status are. She was with the youth. Although there were so many people that didn't go up to the front because there's like the barrier of here's where the seats can start. Nope.

And then it was more of us old wanting to sit in our seats than go up and stand. That's awesome, though. There were people standing by me and I wanted to be like, guys, like, look at you. You could be up by the stage right now. All of us are sitting back here. Everybody was too nice. They were all like, nah, you got, somebody else can have that. No, you go stand.

I don't want to take that. Yeah, man. It was so dope. Great event. And then last, no, two nights ago, Sunday night, the reason that we took Monday off is because Sunday night was my wife's birthday present. We went and saw Jason Warren. Jack Johnson. He went saw John Mayer. No, we went saw Jason Ram's at the landmark. And I'm honest with you guys. I can't enjoy concerts on school nights because I start to get stressed. No, it's annoying. It's annoying. About how late it is and how I've got to get up at 4 a.m. Yep. And I'm like, this is my wife's birthday present.

I don't want to ruin it. I can contain it a little bit, but she'll be able to tell I'm stressed, or I'll do something that's stressed. Because I'm like looking at the clock, and I'm like, oh my God, I need to be up in five hours. Oh, my God. It just stresses me up. No, it's annoying.

So I was like, you know what? It's lawless here right now. I'm taking a Monday off. So I did. And I enjoyed it 3,000 times more. We're taking tomorrow off too, just because. Oh, every other day we're taking off. Ha ha!

No, no, just. Penny says, I was also at Jason Mraz, and I was getting anxious about bedtime. He played late, so I'm glad I did take it. Monday off. Well, that's how it was at Lord of Shore, too. It got to be like nine something and I'm like, right?

That voice starts happening in your brain where you're like, I don't... If you get home now, we get home by 10, you know, then you fall asleep. Yeah, right. I hate that. I hate that. I hate that.

I've had that voice my entire life and I was not going to ruin my wife's birthday concert by being that guy. So I was so chill. No, good. I was so chill that night. It was just a good weekend for the soul, man. It recharged it.

It's been a stressful. several months still is stressful but it was nice to see everybody it was nice to see our community come together good start to the summertime good start to the summertime i hope you all got some cool plants got to enjoy yourself i got some really cool plants yeah you went home with some good ones right some wicked cool plants man and i felt bad again because i uh i i didn't bring i guess i was for everybody next time i'll bring better plants because plant people also just want to give you plants i've noticed Yes, and that was awesome. The swap is like secondary.

They're like, hey, take these plants. Yeah. Take these plants. There's Kelly and chat. She gave me an amazing painting of Freddie. Oh yeah, I got the one of Elsa. You got one of Elsa. Yep.

She gave me a beautiful snake plant. Just a great day for the soul. It's good. I love some plants. Great day for the soul. The Summit Federal Credit Union Taste of Syracuse presented by Tows Friendly Markets is just four days away this Friday. Kicking off at 11 a.m., bud.

One of the places is doing what we're going to be talking about next. What? They're doing dirty sodas. Yeah, that's the trend right now. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I forgot where it is he reviewed one. But they're huge now.

I get it. And it's just what? Creamer or milk and soda? What is it? Well, it really can be, I guess, a couple things, whatever you want. But the one I had was like a creamer in a Dr. Pepper and in an orange. Dirty soda is...

Soda. And it was customizable. It was mixed by mixing standard soda with flavored syrups, fruit juices and a creamy element, like half and half sweet cream or coconut cream. All right. My only thing is not to be the old man, it's a lot of sugar. It is a lot of sugar. It's a lot of sugar.

I try to watch my sugar intake and that's a lot of sugar. But I understood the trend when I had them for the first time at that Taylor Swift Sleepover thing. Yep. They're delicious. They're doing them over at McDonald's now, I guess. These are dirty sodas or versions of dirty sodas? I guess a couple of the.

M.R. Like, they've got, like, six new drinks, but a couple of them are dirty sodas. They're up on your screen right now. Twitch and YouTube, Twitch.tv.tv. slash the show is where you can find us. A lot of action happening there and continuing. I want all of them. Let's go from top to the... I don't know what is in these. Like, obviously they're making a play with the graphics to show you that it's got a cream in it of some kind. Yeah. But is that orange dream? Literally high C orange with a little cream? Because if that's the case, I'm in. If that's what it is.

I'm in. Then I want it. Jojo says the pineapple one is delicious. All right, let me run through these then. Mango pineapple refresher at McDonald's. Okay. Looks like it has those boba bubbles in it that you like. I don't even know how many times I've tried that, but every time I have, they're delicious.

The orange dream at McDonald's appears. It looks like it's an orange drink with some cream in it. Yeah. The strawberry watermelon refresher. I like that a lot, dude. I want to try that one. So bad. I almost want to try that one more than I want to try the orange tree. Dirty Dr. Pepper has kind of been around. I like Dr. Pepper.

Yeah. I don't know if I need to put cream in it, but that's what you guys like. You guys are all about that. Yep. The Blackberry Passion Fruit Refresher. I want that one, too. I like Blackberry. That does sound like a good one. And then you're already all saying in chat, the Spriteberry blast is really good. That sounds like, didn't they used to have a Sprite? Sprite berry blast It was like a Sprite with a little berry

Blast It's sprites but with berries in it Sprites You tried it? Mm-hmm You try it? Mm-hmm. You tried it?

Sprite, but it's got a grape in it. Do you try it? You're all saying it's so good. Tax line says dirty Mountain Dew is really good too. That was actually Josh's nickname in high school. I, uh... Did you hear about this meteor that like flew through the sky over the weekend?

Oh, here? No, well... I was to say that we're kind of... The meteor from the alien one I showed you. What was that? Where a meteor hit behind the volcano because aliens were looking at the volcano to... Dude, what was that?

...alienes were looking at a volcano from space and they got sucked into the gravity and crashed on accident, and they had to go, oh, oh, crap, oh, crap, crap, and scott away. Like, you showed me, is actually better than today's high strangeness, I think. That was a good video.

Cody's explaining he was watching a video and listen, it's Cody. Sometimes I can't tell if he was seeing something while he was high. Me either. And maybe he envisioned it. But he goes, I watched a video of a volcano erupting and then a meteor hit it and the aliens flew away. And I go, all right, but. And he's right?

And nobody, and there was no like any, I mean, there's probably something somewhere now, but nothing said anything in any article. It was just how cool it was that a meteor crashed behind an actively erupting volcano. But then a little thing flies away from where the thing happens. And it was so weird, but there was one here, sort of. It was in New England, but we got a little pop from it because a guy's dash cam in Rome, Dan Wilcox, his Rome, he was on the throughway, I guess, or Erie Boulevard or something. I don't know.

Irie Boulevard in Rome. Yeah. Regardless, he caught it. Oh, cool. So people are using that footage a lot. That's neat. I guess it was out in. All the way in Boston.

In Boston, and he saw it from the sky here. The sky is vast. Yeah, but that's a bright-ass meteor. They're lucky. Did it do any damage? He didn't realize at the moment until about 10 minutes later, he remembered the dash cam mounted to his windshield. He looked at the SD card.

There it was. Yeah, I guess it was out over New England. It burned up, right? Like, it didn't strike anything or? That'll run the other Boston Road. Is it Boston Road? No, no. No, no, the other one.

Oh. But, wow, they got lucky then, because that, if you can see it from here. Meteor above New England created a loud boom that rocked parts of the New England air. NASA says. Sonic, boom. It did make a lot of cool videos. The meteor appears to have fragmented, fragmented.

Whoa, whoa, careful. At an altitude of 40 miles over northeastern Massachusetts and southeast New Hampshire. Hampshire. The energy released at the breakup. Oh, we all had some energy released during breakups, have we not? Oh, wow, yeah. It's estimated to be the equivalent of 300 tons of TNT. Just what blowing up.

E! Yeah, yeah. Blowing up in the app. atmosphere? The dynamite. Wow. NASA said it was a daytime bollied that produced

and fell in the middle of Cape Cod Bay. One of these is going to hit us. And really, we're doing. Can you imagine you're that fish that just saw a meteor blow up ahead of you? And try to explain that to the other fish? Guys, this thing just flew. It was crazy. No, I saw it.

A flaming rock. He's flying into the water and crashed into the bottom of the ocean. We are getting new. The source reports from residents of hearing a loud booming sound. It was heard over the eastern part of the state, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, it looks like, unlike earthquakes, which occur at discrete locations in the east, sonic booms can occur all over in the atmosphere. Wow.

That's going to get us one of these times. Meteor was about five feet wide. Yeah, dude. Size of an elephant. Wow. That's crazy. One of them is going to get us. And we deserve it.

They have. That's also crazy where you can Google. We'll map the... Where meteors that struck us? Like little tiny pieces? No, like the meteor, the dinosaur one. Oh. You can see that, where that ever that is.

Oh, is that big hole? If you Google it, where is the meteor site from the one they think that made the dinosaurs extinct. Dinosaur meteor site? Ah, yeah, Yucatan Peninsula. In present day Mexico. Yeah. Isn't that crazy?

That's a big old, that's a big old. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. What a hole. What a hole. The Shikulubh Crater. is an impact crater buried underneath the Yucatan Peninsula in now modern Mexico.

Center is offshore, but the crater's name, blah, blah, blah. Woo! Little high, strangeness. The unexplained, the mysterious, the unknown. All. All on a Tuesday at 7 a.m. Coco. Okay, I'm not already now.

And I try to... This one's... just for me. I'm sorry. I like to find a theme. So if there's like something going on, I want to find a high strangeness with the theme. And what's happening this weekend? Summit Federal Credit Union Tases, Syracuse. See, I work in that plug? That's a professional. Okay. How about a cryptid that feasts on faces and brains? Oh. Now, I don't believe there'll be any face or brain samples this weekend. No, thank you. No, no thank you. So part of me feels like, so when it comes to cryptids,

The most famous cryptids are obviously Bigfoot, Pen of a Pine Monster, lockness monster, that kind of stuff. Yeah, the ones that you could prove. The ones that have to exist. The ones that have been seen. Uh-huh, uh-huh.

Faces and brains, $2 sample this weekend. Some. Some brains. Faces might be more. And I feel like a lot of cryptids, and I'm not the one of feel, this is a theory along a lot of people. Cryptids were sometimes invented

to keep kids from doing stupid stuff. You know what I'm saying? Yep. Like, don't go out. It's like the village. You know, M. Night Chamma Ding Dong's movie. Never mind. What?

Don't go out in the woods because there's this thing. They just don't want the kids to go missing. I'm still mad about that. I was too. That was such a great movie until the very end. I was to flip over that wall. I know. The freaking wall with the coffee.

And then the cop. Okay. I know. I'm with you. Never mind. So the story of the mama Lombo, I feel like is a cryptid, Mama Lombo

is a South African deity, and I feel like this was created from one of those, like, kids. You need to, like, wash your hands. Don't go out in the rivers because the Mama Lombo was out there. It's a water one. It's a waterborne one. So it's real. In 1997, South African newspapers

began reporting on a sighting of a giant reptile monster in a river I'm not going to attempt to pronounce. Just a river. Villagers are in the area Claim the creature was 65 feet long Had the head of a horse

The body of a fish Short legs and the neck of a snake You might be tuned You might be doing too much South Africa You're throwing too many things together With your cryptid here The head of a horse Lower body of a fish

Lower body short legs And the neck of a snake It shines a green light at night and if it lures you close to it of a snake. It will eat your face and brains. Oh my God. And the bodies really were found.

The seven bodies that were found or nine, would say seven or nine. So it sounds like it was one of those like big crocodiles. It's a giant reptile monster according to the locals. Because that's the only I can think of that would have a head that looked like a horse.

Right. And stubby legs. I mean, I don't know, 65 feet. but some of them you see out there they get pretty big man the mamba lombo is often referred to as the brain sucker because they find bodies with no your mom was also known as the brain sucker because they do find these bodies and they're missing the face and the brain now logically couldn't like wouldn't see creatures eat the face don't they go for the softest tissue first i guess it would sound like yeah and they're in the water like fish swim up and grossly sorry you eat out your dead relatives eyeballs

and then your brains that's where they go first what i mean so what is it beyond me that south africa might have some kind of sea creature that if you die on the banks of the river is going to eat out your eyes eyeballs and your brain are there any reptile like creatures or water-dwelling creatures that only like to eat your brains tricking in with cody a high this morning No, nothing seeks out. Then it could be the Mamma Lombo. So, I mean... I have a quick YouTube short, basically explaining what I just said.

Okay. Dives a little deeper into what the Mamalambo is. Brains. In the dark waters of South Africa's Mersentlava River, villagers whisper the name Mamlambo, a creature feared as the brain-sucking river monster. Described as part serpent, one horse, and part fish.

The Mamlambo is said to shimble. is said to shimmer with green scales and glowing eyes. Its sinuous body stretching over 20 feet long. According to Hosa and Zulu folklore, this mysterious beast emerged in the late 1990s when a string of unexplained deaths rocked the village of Mount Eilif. Local police discovered bodies with missing faces and brains, fueling rumors that no ordinary animal could be responsible. Witnesses claimed the Mamlambo lord victims were mesmerizing light before dragging them beneath the surface, devouring their brains to gain wisdom and power. Some say the legend is rooted in colonial era stories of mysterious drownings and disappearances,

while others believe it's a cautionary tale, warning of the dangers lurking in untamed rivers and the consequences of greed or disrespect. Whether a creature of myth or a symbol of deeper fears, the Mamlambos chilling tale continues to haunt the imaginations of those who live along it. shadowy banks, a reminder of the unknown lurking beneath the water's surface. So that's why I feel like... Interesting. The Mamlombo, all of these I want to exist, mind you.

That'd be awesome. Crypt did I tell you about? I want to believe in all these things. It would be way more fun if they were real. It would be super cool if a horse face serpent looking thing. But I also believe that this was probably like people were drowning and it became a legend. Then you tell the kids in the village, don't go. out there because the Mamlombo will get you.

That's why. Be careful. Watch out for the Mamlombo. It'll eat your face and brains. That's the part I can't explain is the bodies really were discovered, really on the banks, really with their face and brains eating out. I would suspect there's an animal that probably did that. But why just the face and brains? I don't know.

Enjoy your samples this weekend. Oh. Look how I tie it all together. Sheep brains. You give me a day off. I'm firing. I'm fired. Weez.

Good morning. This is K. Rock, I'm laughing because we're talking deer. Talking deer. Talking deer and chat here during the song about how you saw a coyote, or you heard of a coyote following a bunch of deer? Well, I saw a, like, deer, like, you know, an hour or whatever. And then the next hour, Elsa and I went out, I saw a coyote kind of on that same path.

And I was like, oh, he's kind of, maybe he's smelling them deer. And then the next day, when I was out walking Elsa, a lady stopped her car and was like, okay, just careful a little while ago. I saw a coyote following some deer up here. So just careful walking. So that's what happens up there. You see the deer and then the coyotes show up because of that path. It reminded me of the most dad thing I've been doing lately.

And I love, I've always loved being a dad. I love just being a dad. And I've always been a dad to like little kids. But now I'm a dad to teenagers. And it's a different kind of dad. Yeah. And it's funny because you catch yourself saying the most dad thing. and I told you, I've been driving, seeing a lot of deer

darting out of the woods. Hons of them. I'm just standing there. Dude, I just, every time this happens, I don't know why I feel the need. I don't even know I'm going to say it. But with my kids in the car, I always say the phrase, where there's one, there's others.

I do it too. Watch out. I don't know why I'm announcing it, but it's a dad thing I say. Well, because it's even at our age, it's shocking as a to when you're just driving and then like six dart out out of nowhere.

Yep. Well, there's one. There's going to be others, kids. And they're bigger than the one that you see. All right. Tell you that much right now. I love just being the boring dad to teenagers. And I'm sitting by this guy

at the Maras concert, Jason Maras concert. And I laughed. I wanted to text it to you, but I thought I'd tell you in person. He was also a teen dad. The show hadn't started yet. Two teen dads live. Two teen, and we're just so awkward.

And clearly his kids got him this as like a gift because he knew all the songs. And we were both just middle-aged dad. I think everybody there was a middle-aged parent of some way. Yeah, anybody who was under the age of 20 was a child of someone who wanted to be there. Yep. So, Contra hadn't started yet. He's sitting right next to me.

It's the landmark, so it's close, close proximity. He goes, oh, gets his phone because it must have been like his security cameras went off, right? You guys are, oh, I'm going to give you the whole, I'm going to give you the whole phrase. I'll reenact it because I would have done the exact same thing. Here's what he did. He's sitting there.

I already know because he goes, he goes, he goes, oh, looks at his cameras on the phone, turns to his kids and goes, Chipmunk on the sidewalk Put his phone away And the kids And the kids Do that's this movie?

Get it in my brain It's in my brain I go Hell yeah Chipmunk on the sidewalk Chipmunk right there running around Setting off the cameras Hey

Yep chipmunk on the sidewalk And you know that they They don't care They don't care And it's not even the 50th time He's told them What he is seeing because you do it all the time as well, just randomly just...

Oh, what was in my house? Yeah, I do. I want to be like, your family. Yeah, I do it all the time. Who live there? I do it all the time. It's seven in the morning. Hey, who's in my house?

Probably your wife, come over. Hey, who's outside? What's that dog out there? That's your dog! I love being a middle-aged dad. I love fellow teen dads around me. Because the teens are just so, we're so lame, and I love being lame.

No, it's funny. What's also hysterical is what you guys do with your ring cams is that you want them all over, but they bother you so much. They're so annoying. Why the hell's this thing going off?

Oh, my God. Dude, I know. It's so annoying. I've got these cameras all over my house and I'm pissed off when they're going off. You did it. Like my kid will go outside. If they're off from school,

this is going to happen all summer long. Yeah. My kid will get up and start playing basketball all outside and I'm like, what the hell's going on? Oh, gee, oh, we're setting it off all day. God damn cameras. Benson, my kids were laughing at me this weekend because I asked, how's your wind shield washer fluid?

Cats, how's your levels in there? Do you ever yell at them through the... Not anymore. Hey, get back at us. If I need to, I, the only time, because I have an indoor camera as well, the one that just sees me walking around naked most of the time. Yeah. If we've texted them and they're home alone,

And nobody taxed back. And then we text them again. Then I can go to my camera go, hey. That's actually smart. Everybody good at home? Yeah. Oh. Just yell off.

Okay. Thank you. Oh. Jump on the sidewalk. Yep. Spider. Holy freaking carpenter bees setting off my cameras. Oh, I bet.

Get out of here. Every time they bump into what I bet it does. Oh, my God. And I'm sitting next to Jojo. Jojo's got, Jojo's daughter's older than a teenager. But I'm sitting next to Jojo at the, at the concert, and her camera goes off.

And she looks at it, she goes, oh, up, daughter's getting door to her. puts it down. Like, this is the new level of parents. This is our new driving and looking at every billboard. Oh, McDonald's on it up there. Like, we've evolved as parents,

because we used to just stand in our yard and look around and be like, oh, what's going on down there? Now we can access it remotely. We can access our property remotely and see what's going on. Who the hell's poking around? It's you mad every time. Hey, who's in my yard? It's the trash people.

What are they doing in my yard? Picking up the garbage. I know. I know. I can't help it. At this hour? I can't. It's 9 a.

Yeah? Oh, I know. I'm a psychopath of these things. Although I would have as many in my yard like you do with how many random, like, accidents you get to see and everything. I like to know what's going on. I don't want people poking around my house. I want to know what some.

on over there. Let's go to Taco Bell in Florida. Okay. I mean, not right now. Oh. Katie says, our cameras went off at the concert, too. Neighbors kids cutting through the yard. Hey, who the hell?

What's going on? It's just the kids cutting to do the grass. There's a viral video going on. I don't have the video because I think he has swears in it, so I can't play the video. Shirtless man wearing a kilt walks up to a Taco Bell in Florida. That's a lot of it. information, but I don't judge a shirtless man in a kilt. To give it a fine lad a taco.

It gets hot out there. We got a couple showbrows that wear kilts to all of our events. I say, hey, to him. I respect it. Because it's probably cool as hell, literally cool as hell on that. And you get to look at their gemmattles. Sheen and ballsack. Yeah.

Shirtless man walks up to the Taco Bell. Somebody at the Taco Bell said blah, blah, blah, blah. Method. Call them a method. Whoa. Whoa. Uh-oh. That pissed him off.

especially if he was a method. Just to not get sued, I'm not going to say if he is or anything. But, I mean, if he was, that'd make me angry. If he wasn't, that would also make me angry. So either way. Do not disparage my character. At this Taco Bell, you're going to speak to me like that? He got pissed.

Did not like that you call him a method. He's a methamphetamine enthusiast. Please. Not a methad. I'm a methamphetamine connoisseur. Much like me, I'm not an alcoholic. I am a whiskey. kind of soar.

Yes. It must be kind of soared. That makes me way more sense. Employees got him to leave, but as he stormed out, he said, quote, I'm an effing electrician. I'll go out there and shut this whole effing place down. People are like, do it, do, and what don't challenge, if the show on K-Roc can give you any advice. Yeah. Don't dare a meth head.

Don't earn a legend. Or whatever. Meth-inphetamine enthusiast. Yeah. Don't, Joe, Joey's a Methodist. That makes more sense. Don't challenge an alleged method to not do something. Especially if it's that specific,

because I think I know where you're going with this. He did. He cut the power off. So he is an electrician then? I don't know. I wouldn't know how to cut power from a building. I don't think he did either, because all they report hearing is a screaming, a popping sound and the lights went out. I think he just cut something. It got electrocuted in the process.

He said, well, I told him. Hold you to do it. Here's the audio. I'm a f*** electric. I'm going to shut this down. I got it on there. That was the pop of the electricity. That's hilarious.

Lights out. Boom. I like how they called him a meth head. And then he said the F word. And they were, whoa. We don't. Hey. Whoa.

And a surah. This is a taco bag. Well, please. This is an establishment of reputable people. Whoa. We do not curse in the Taco Bell. I just called you a filthy drug addict. Wow.

Good morning. This is the show you are listening to K Rock, and it is the week of the Summit Federal Credit Union Taste of Syracuse. And we have Dawn here from the Summit and Carrie from Taste. Good morning to both of you. Good morning. So let's, first of all, start with the event itself. Let people know if you've been under a round. rock for, I don't know how many years, Tastes of Syracuse has been going on, but it is the biggest

food and music festival. I would imagine in the area. I can't think of anything bigger. It's huge. I've seen comments who have said about like, you know, pinch points in the layout. You haven't been there recently then, because they've remapped this whole thing, these last couple of years. I like that.

Those pinch points are gone. Yes. So let's tell people about the event. Three stages of music food. Go ahead. Yeah. Yeah. So three stages of music, fantastic local bands.

We have over 30 different acts playing on Friday, over Friday and Saturday. And then fantastic food. So so many restaurants, I don't know if you checked at the website yet, but those $2 samples, you know, start mapping your way through the festival. Yeah. So the food, the music, the fun. We have art in the park that returns this year.

And then, you know, we also, you know, we're always giving back as well. So that's an important part of the taste. Yeah. And so with our partners with both the Summit Federal Credit Union, and Topps Friendly Market, we partner with two local charities each and every year. And this year, we are so excited to be working with on our flight, Syracuse, and also feed our vets. So, Don, let's talk about that. The Summit, you've been involved with Tastes for years and years now.

Why is it so important for the Summit to be involved? Well, you know, this event is about community, more than anything else. It celebrates the great culinary culture here in Syracuse, the music here in Central New York. You guys have a great. great food culture here. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, nothing brings a community together like food, right? And music.

So it's the best of Central New York. And so we are just so thrilled to have sponsored this event since 2017. And we've helped, over the years, we've helped raise over $150,000 for local charities. That's amazing. That's amazing. So talk about this year's charities. Who are we benefiting this here? I know Honor Flight was mentioned.

Sure. Well, you know, we're getting to America 250 this year, right? So we thought what better way to honor that than to support veterans organizations in your area, or in our area, in your area. I'm from Rochester. We're some of it's based in Rochester, but we have two branches here in Syracuse and a virtual branch. So you can be anywhere in the world. Awesome. But we're celebrating on a flight, Syracuse, and feed our vets.

These are two organizations that do so much to support veterans in. in central New York. And you'll be giving the information at your booth. That's what you'll be doing at your booth. And we have representatives from both organizations at our booth each day. Okay. So we're also, you know, our tent becomes one big game zone. Good.

So people come into our tent. They can spin our wheel for prizes and every spin wins. Every spins a dollar. And every dollar goes to these charities. So we spend the entire weekend raising money for these two great organizations. And we certainly do appreciate that, Dawn, from the Summit Federal Credit Union. And Carrie, let's talk of food, though, because we've got some gales in here. We do.

We're going to be serving up lemonade out here. Tell me about easy, squeezy girls. Yeah, we've got some entrepreneurs here, let's see. Tell me about your booth. A trailer this year, right? Yeah, come on over. So we have a trailer this year. Last year you said a tent, but now we have a trailer and a tent.

Mm-hmm. And we're selling lemonade, freeze rite scuttles and pickles. Pickles on a stick, right? Yeah. Pickles on a stick. Tell me about that. Are they the big giant deli pickles that we're selling? Yeah.

Yeah? Big pickles on stick, huh? We're pretty excited. They've been doing lots of sticering, lots of things. And, Eddie, I think you even have our, like, little jingle. Oh, we have a jingle? In radio, we love jingles. I want to hear it.

Let me hear it. Loud and proud, let's hear it. Easy, squeezy lemonade. Come and get it fresh made this weekend. That tastes a syracuse. Awesome. Beautiful. So, Carrie, let's talk some newbies.

Easy Squeasy was there last year, just a tent, upgraded to the booth. upgraded to a trailer. The trailer, very cool. Three little lemons on it, representing each kid, so come check that out. Cody will be there with his punched booth. Yes.

Coolicles. The Dunkeroo. Dunkeroo dippers and pouches of Kool-Aid. I'm going to give an extra plug to what might be my first stop is Ruby's Columbian cuisine. They were in here Friday, Carrie. I have never had that.

I'm already seeking them out. They are at booth 84. They are down. Don't miss them because they are down a stretch and they're at the end. So make sure you make a stop out there. Yeah, I think they're going to be one of our worst. You know, we kind of play this like Tastes Syracuse Bingo.

And we also try to decide what's going to be one of our busiest booths. And I'm betting on rubies. I'm telling you, it was incredible. I can't wait to try them. Who else are we going to try? I mean, there's so much. I mean, there's so many. There's so many.

We have over 70 different, you know, restaurants and food vendors doing their $2 samples. You know, look at the map, look at the samples. Try something new. That's really part of the premise of the taste as well, is to come down, try some food, fall in love with it, and then go back over the summer and try. Yeah, that's the move.

And Carrie's right, plot it out, because don't be like me, and you've eaten it a bunch of stops, and then you discover one that you wanted to go, and you're like, I'm full, I don't want to eat. Plan it out, map it out. Yeah, try things new. That's the beauty of it.

It's a $2 sample, and not only with the food, but also with the music, right? Go see your favorite local bands, but try out some new bands as well. We have so many wonderful musicians that have played, and some are new, and it's just, it's going to be.

From all genres. It's not just one genre. It's everything that Syracuse has to offer. And it's amazing. Also, Art in the Park is back, right? Yes, over in Perseverance Park. We have lots of artisans there, so be sure to check that out. You can just, you know, come early, spend your entire day with us.

It's a beautiful weekend. It is. There's so much to do. So we're really like to work with it. It opens up at 11 both days. Yes, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. both days in around Clinton Square, plenty of parking downtown. So, you know, come early.

Stay for the fun. Yeah. Get all your information. schedule out the bans you want to see, the food you want to eat, Taste of Syracuse.com. And of course, Don, thank you for the summit for always being a partner on this event. We do appreciate that. Oh, thank you so much, and we are just thrilled.

And we are so excited to be here again. Stop over and see the summit tent. Obviously, games and a lot of good causes happening over there. The Taste of Syracuse. Go to taste of Syracuse.com for more information. Thank you to you both. Cody, I don't know. Is it because we have an NBA finals and NHL Stanley Copps or NFL is like we

got to be in the news too. I told you. That's that thing that their PR machine is always a churning. And I mean, this is not so much, you know, the NFL itself, as is the teams. But it's interesting. They have ways of making sure they stay top of the news. A.J. Brown and Miles, Garrett, what's going on? Well, just right off the bat, the Giants fans, he's not going to do anything because he's way past

his prime. But O'Dall Backham, re-signing with the Giants. He made that greatest catch anyone had ever seen ever. once people started to realize that the gloves were, it was before they realized that the gloves were the stickiest things anybody. But he still made that crazy catch. So that's cool for Giants fans who have Odell Beckham jersey. So is this

one of those things where he wants to retire as a giant? Probably. I don't know how much he's got left, but I mean, that'd be a good, maybe catch a touchdown and go everyone go crazy. But the bigger ones, the Eagles trade and AJ Brown, I think, is a big deal that people thought was going to happen for a while. But he's still unbelievably talented. And you go to that Patriots team,

that just makes them ballers. Yeah. They went to the Super Bowl already, and all they really were missing was a little bit on offense. Okay. So here it is. That's not bad. But then the biggest, Miles Garrett to the Rams. Why is that so big?

That's insane. He's the best player in the league. It's like trading, like trading Jordan. He's not Michael Jordan level, but it's basically like finding, you know, who's the best defensive player in the league? Oh, Hakeem O'Higemajman. All right, trade him to a different team. Weren't the Browns good? Were they any good?

No, that's the, I think that. the issue is that they probably realize this, listen, this poor guy, he's been the best player in the league for years. Get him a ring. Otherworldly. Let's get him on a team that now we could see him multiple times the year, because, you know, they're on prime time and all those types of games. And Jared Verst, who they traded away, he's an unbelievable player out of Florida State,

but when you get someone offers Miles Garrett, you just say, yeah, you just say, what do you want? Yeah. So, I mean. Right. So you're saying Rams are going to be stacked and the Patriots are going to be stacked now? I wouldn't be shocked at a Rams Patriots Super Bowl after just seeing those two trades right there. I mean, if, if the Dallas Cowboys allow it. If they falter in any way, which. Yeah.

If the Dallas Cowboys allow it. I mean. They probably will. So they can just, and I know I'm an idiot when it comes to sports, you can just trade whenever you want. Like there isn't a deadline for this stuff? I thought that there was a little bit better or a deadline that started. earlier, but maybe they're, I guess there's not. Because they're going to get in the training camp soon, aren't they?

I think it's once you're into the season, there's a certain week where it's like, and the trade deadline is week 13 or whatever it is. But until then, I mean... Cool. Big news. I would say, we'll see what else gets traded, but I don't think there's anybody else. Those are two of the biggest stars in the league. Oh, what is this? Breaking News.

Gomez is offering two first round picks if we trade big Paul for you. And I'm not allowing that trade. Oh, two first round picks. allowing that trade gum. And that weird naked mannequin he has in there? And the weird naked mannequin. Mm-hmm. Okay.

Uh-huh. All right. And a Ralphie feature? I don't know. He's really, he's really sprucing up the pod here. I don't know. If you would double down, we already got Joan. Yeah.

Cool. Cool. We're already talking NFL and it's June. Yeah. Get the show on demand, wherever you download your favorite podcast. And get this. I think I'll probably announce it tomorrow. It's so hard to remember all the places we are,

all of our links, all of our video streams, hey, where can I watch this? Where can I watch this? It's confusing, right? So I built a place you can find it all. Find it all! It will be a centralized hub for everything the show does. A home. In one simple spot.

And I think I'll announce that tomorrow. It's just about done. It is done. Welcome home. Welcome home. So that you don't got to remember all these silly things like, what is it? Twitch.tv. slash the show, but also YouTube.com slash K-Rox C&Y, but also this podcast. I'm going to make it easier.

We don't even know no computers. And we don't even know no computers. So I'll tell you tomorrow. The one spot. I've been working hard on this. It's been really fun. Because I do like playing with computers. No, this is cool.

This is cool. It's very impressive. And I like, uh... Oh my God, he's such a dork. Um, no, it is not Link Tree oversight. It's a spot where you're going to be able to watch and listen to everything. That's where girls hide their, their booby site. I know what that is.

I know what that is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then they'll be like, only fans is free you this month. And I'm like, cool. But then like, you got to sign up. And I go, I'm not signing up. Yes, I know. I don't need a data leak where it shows me signed up for various women's only fans.

You've got a special run and drop the link in chat. Well, 911 dispatchers. I listen to you guys. I'm a big fan, first of all. I'm a real big fan. I really am. They're talking about... I know you are.

It's not usually a thing. Oh my God, I'm such a big fan. No, I want to call this. Well, first of all, I'm listening to you all the time. Big fan. First time, long time. Yeah, no, dude, I love... I've grown up listening to the scanner.

My nanny had multiple scanners in her house. I have my scanner app on all the time. I know. I am a big fan of the Oswego County. dispatchers, you're doing great work. I know it's weird because you're all thinking he's the guy on the radio. I listen to him. No, no, no, no. Turn the tables.

It's all a big fan of your work. It's all of Swigua County and then old people. Because there's all old people in a Swigua County, so I'm lumping them all in together. It's all of a city county and then old people that do that. Now, I'm sure you got to do it for like safety reasons. Kind of a dick move when you go to private channels. Kind of a big move. Well, sometimes don't.

I'm trying to see what's going on. I'm assuming it's probably because like someone's dead. And it's not of my. business is what you're saying? I pay my taxes. It is my business. You work for me, damn it? I'm a taxpayer. Oh, what are you loading them in? My county tax paying for ambulance? I don't think so. Big, big fan of the 911 dispatchers in the Oswego County area. Well, these aren't those people. This is like nationwide 911 dispatchers talking about their silliest reason somebody has called 911 in the last year. Is that that

cake? I think so. Matt and chat says when I live down South years ago, no one had heard of listening to scanners. I was shocked. Matt, you can't do it anymore either because they're all, like, they're court scanners or something. Oh, I don't know. It used to just be like a broadcast, and my grandma would turn on two different scanners. I'd fall asleep to them. My extent is I go on CNY 911 call log all the time, just to check.

That's extent of what I do. I'll go on that just to see what's going on. Or like, I'll hear crazy things going on around me. You go to crime radar? No, just... You ever heard of crime radar? No, just that one that I said. Crime radar is the 911 call clipped.

I mean, not the call. You're hearing someone's moat. You're hearing the dispatcher. Yeah. So it'll be like, it'll be like, this is the incident that happened. And then here's the audio clip of... Oh, uh, police respondent, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, like to start a cop.

Subject on foot. Ooh. Beedoo do, be it. That's cool. Also check that one on. And they got to stay calm. And I respect the hell out of that. Because someone's calling you freaking out.

They're having the worst moment of their life. Yeah. And you've got to just be like, all right, well, we're going to do this and this and this. Yeah, no. Have you ever called 911? Have I? I can't really remember. Oh, you know what?

I did once because it looked like somebody's apartment was on fire. Oh, okay. They were barbecuing on their deck. So made it look like their apartment was on fire. They had like eight people calling about that. But I'm trying to think. I've had a call on you? You got a call on you? You had 911 call on you?

Yeah, from a lot of times I've had a ride in him to get my ass beat or breaking my leg or I'm assuming. There's a guy dressed as the Grinch and his face punch in. I'm assuming things like that, right? I don't know. He's bleeding a lot. I don't know. Yeah, but other than that, I'm trying to think

I've called it twice recently. Once a call, I saw a car flip over. Yeah. I produced fine. I called 911. And then I also was a snitch once because there was a girl who was either drunk or on drugs and she was going to kill somebody. But that's better.

So I was like, hey, I don't know what's going on. She's weaving in and out of traffic. She's right here if you want to come talk to her. So those are the two times I call 911. But no, I'm trying to think there has to have been a time when I saw something or not that I can think of. You don't, you're not trying to get involved with stuff. No.

You're usually just out minding your own business. I'm a nosy, Natalie. I got to get involved. Yeah, I'm trying to just avoid all that. So this is an article about the wildest reasons people have called 911, as told by the dispatchers. One dispatcher said, quote, I got yelled at once because no one turned on the Northern Lights. You got it. That's the problem.

Why aren't the Northern Lights on yet? I came from vacation for a vacation to see those and no one's going to flip mine for me. That's cool. Where's the Northern Lights? Disrespectful, but aren't cool. Had an older lady call to complain that a random man, quote, didn't hold the door open for it. I would too Boomers

I would too Um An adult admitted They got in trouble For calling 911 When they were a child Because their grandparents Were insisting that they eat a hot dog

I made Cody eat a hot dog once And you did call the police on me I understand I did That's why I can't do it anymore I like to share the story When we were camping somewhere With my grandparents

And There was like A god Like the kids were calling 911 like and hanging up because they thought it was funny. Uh-oh. At the campgrounds. Uh-oh. And then you know a police car ripped up looking to get them.

Yep. They got to do that. Wasn't me or Joey at all. Someone called 911 because they were a tourist and bored and didn't have much money so they wanted to know what to see around town. So they called 911? That's the number they knew? Oh my God. Hi, I'm just visiting.

I'm looking for something to do. Oh, how about jail now? Because you've called 911 and you're going to post us. The guy called. Called a power outage, called during a power outage to ask for the score of the U.S. Canada Olympic gold medal game. That is an emergency. I understand. This is a comedian, eh?

Time and temperature. A lady called for a 911 from a Wendy's because they wouldn't sell her a whopper. Woppers aren't at Wendy's, ma'am. That is a Burger King offer. I thought the customer was always right. So march your ass over to Burger King. Oh, I'm sorry. Get me.

Sorry, thought the customer was always right. a whopper. Finally, a woman called 911 because her daughter had not returned yet. From? No.

The woman, 96, daughter 68 years old. Oh, boy. That's the... 68 years old. I bet you there's some good ones around here.

I don't know where they are. She's God. I bet you've had some crazy 911 calls around here. I bet there's some crazy stuff that these people have gotten around here. Other side of this. We'll get Cindy.

Peen on the line. Talk plants. We're plant bros now. Why are you? Good morning. This is K Rock, and we did it. We got Cindy Payne on the line. Good morning, Cindy. Good morning. I apologize for all the difficulties. Listen, we know up in Oswega County. We just got cans with strings. We barely got running water up there, so people understand.

They understand Oliver Payne Greenhouses right there on South Granby Road off Route 48, in between Phoenix and Baldwinville and Cindy. I didn't know that these beautiful downtown baskets are from Oliver B. Paine Greenhouse. These are your baskets? Yes. Yes, we grow them for the downtown committee chamber commerce in Syracuse. That's insane. And then where did you say the other ones went up?

We did some great big pots that go up on Marshall Street and Krauseab up in that area. So we'll be looking for those. They went up there yesterday. And we also grow the baskets for the city of Oswego and the city of Fulton. Wow. That's awesome. I didn't know you had so many connections, but I get my hanging baskets from Oliver B. Paine Greenhouses every year.

What do you got for baskets this year? Oh, beautiful baskets. We've got big 12-inch baskets that are loaded with color with solid colors or mixed plants, which are awesome. I like that. We have 10-inch baskets that are full of super tunias that are absolutely gorgeous. Mix colors, solid colors, whatever you want. We also have New Guinean patients, which are good for shade.

I know folks need some things for shade, too. So New Guinea patients in Terrenia. Terrenia is a hummingbird favorite. And we also have sun patients basket. Believe it or not, there's a type of impatience that loves the sun. So you can have them for sun too. Okay. Nice.

I might need that one. And what about, like you said, for the hummingbirds? If people want to bring more birds or butterflies to their garden, what should they plant? You should be looking at plants for hummingbirds. They have a nice deep throat like petunias or terrania or fuchsia. They want nectar-producing plants. Okay. Plants for your butterflies would be like Lantana, heliotrope, which is a great butterfly attractor.

It's made up of little tiny flowers, like a little cluster of them, and your flowers are more open. so the butterfly has a place to land. So those are wonderful choices for your birds and your butterflies. Listen, you hear all this knowledge from Cindy Payne. Just go talk to her in person. She's bouncing around the greenhouse, I'm sure, all day long. Oh, come on down. We love to show people around and answer your questions.

Bring any questions you've got. We'll answer them for you. Yeah, she'll help you out. Everybody there is great. Of course, it takes $690 north until it becomes Route 48. You're going to pass Lampson Road. And then on South Graham, you'll see a big sign that's turned left here for Oliver v. Payne greenhouses. And it's right there up the road in between Fulton and Baldwin'sville.

Cindy, great talking to you. You talk next week. Nice talking to you, too. Have a great day. Thank you. Cindy Payne, letting you know about those deep throats. What's that? Nothing.

What a great segment. You were so well-behaved when she said that. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. Good morning. This is the show. You are listening to K-Rock, and it is the week. of the summit federal credit union

taste of Syracuse in and around Clinton Square and I'll tell you what we got some more friends in here Yeah this is awesome. Nicky and Lee are in here from Sweets for Babe. So sweets for Babe opens up July of last year And I was asking you

Well what are we? What are we going to do? And you said quote the four year plan happened in four months Because we kind of exploded I guess it started with the banana pudding. Did it not leave? That's what you said. You tasted it and you wanted to sell it. Immediately. Yeah.

And it's your recipe? Mine. Yes. So where did you? Why banana pudding? Why is that a specialty? I mean, I make a lot of things. I'm a big foodie.

He's a big foodie. So like, you know, again, two foodies, you know, met, became friends. And it was like, we're doing different things. Different foods around everywhere. And then he likes bananas. And I'm like, I'm not particularly, I don't love bananas. Funny enough, I grew up in the Caribbean. But like, I ate too many of them when I was.

was the younger. And I was like, I make a good banana bread and banana pudding. He's like, yeah, okay, whatever. Like, everybody says that. So then I made this banana pudding that I've made for years. I, you know, I'll take it to parties. And I don't make, I mean, people like banana pudding. I don't know. It's a thing. And then so it's always been a hit at parties and whatnot. And I make it and he goes, what I've never, he's had all types of banana pudding. He goes, I've never tasted anything like this. And that's when he's like, oh, yeah, I'm going to sell this. And I'm like, I'm not selling banana pudding. I have a full-time job. I'm not very demanding. What do I look like selling banana Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Comey. What one did you just try? The regular. Regular. Classic. Yeah.

So I guess for, Oh, wow. For dumb, I also never had banana pudding that taste like this. For dumbdums like me, what is a banana pudding? I know what pudding is and I know banana saw it. What makes it a minute pudding? So it's, you know, again, not my recipe is something that people have been making

for years. But, I mean, this is my recipe, but not my idea, I should say. So it's just a layer. It's a layer of like custard. You know, however you make that custard, minds again, it's very different. So custard. and like nilla wafers. I do a blend of different things.

Of course, I'm not going to tell you everything. You got to hire them. And then like bananas. And you just layer those. You set them in the fridge and it sets and boom, banana pudding. So it's not like your typical pudding that you think. People come in and like, I don't like pudding. I'm like, just trust you and try it.

Yeah. This is not your pudding, you know? We're talking with Nikki and Lee from sweets for babe. They are open. It's a brick and mortar right there on 217 South Salinas Street in Syracuse. Cody, give me a review. I've never. I've also.

I just said it, but I'll have to say it again. I've never had banana pudding like this either. Now I've got the strawberry one. Now you get why Lee wanted to sell it. So the plan initially back in July was we'll do pop-ups, maybe like what a food truck or something like that? We talked about that. I mean, actually before July, because July is when we opened.

So like two to three months prior, I already started doing pop-ups, right? And I'm like, okay, we just keep a pop-ups. We're just looking for a commissary kitchen, which was hell to find in the city. So we ended up in this space. I'm like, oh, you know what? Actually, Sin Bun started in the space. Sure. Right.

So I look at, you know, we look at it and we're like, okay, you know what? We can make this happen as a kitchen. And then like it just, you know, the owners were like, you guys can have the whole space because we're supposed to split the space with like somebody, another baker. And we're like, okay, well, we don't need the whole space. So we kind of slept on it. It was like, and I said, oh, I can make a cafe and then a kitchen on one side. And it just, literally, it just happened.

It happened so fast. It's still happening. Yeah, yeah. You know, that it's just like, what the heck. But it's, it's been, it's been great. It is, you know, it's amazing. How's the community reaction, Ben? Loving it.

Love it. Love it. Yeah, pretty good. So you also have, these are your $2 samples at the taste of Syracuse this weekend. Regular classic banana pudding. Yep. And then a strawberry banana pudding? Is this just banana pudding with strawberry? So it's banana pudding with strawberries, but we do, I do like a strawberry preserve inside of it.

Okay. If you're to put the fresh strawberry, it's a whole thing. Okay. But, yeah, so that, and then we'll have full size of a bunch of other flavors. Okay. Yeah, which are you can tell. Yeah, give me the rundown. What are you going to have this weekend?

Classic strawberry, of course. Cookie butter. That one. Cookies and cream and Uber. That, that one too. That sounds amazing. And since you've only been open since July. This will be your first taste of Syracuse.

Are we excited? Yes. We excited. A anxious. I haven't slept in like a week. Well, the benefit is you're so close that if you need something, you can run right down. That's what I said to Michael, you know what? We're going to have everything ready to go.

So even though you said, like, yes, we do have a brick and more weird. not open this week. I can't do. I don't blame you. I don't blame you. We are closed this week. I said to him, I'm like, I mean, I'm like, you know, I'm using vacation days. Sure. You know, because it's a lot. And the amount that, I mean, 250,000 people are expected. And we always sell out. Like, we've done popas. We do stuff here in the city. We go all the way to Manhattan. And we're just in Brooklyn for a Haitian festival last week. And everywhere we go, thank God, you know, blessing. We sell out. So I'm like, we're taking a lot to the taste of Syracuse. But get it while it's, we're going to have it while. We're going to have it while. less. Okay. I want people to seek you guys out. What's our booth number? Booth 95. 95.

Sweet. Okay. Sweet for babe. Make sure you get over there, get the samples. Do we have anything else besides the samples or just the banana pudding this weekend? We're just going to do banana pudding. We have samples and, like I said, full size of other flavors. And when you recover from this weekend and open back up the brick and order, we do cold press juices and teas.

Yes. So cold press juices, I press juices daily. Okay. So they're fresh. They sell daily. And, I mean, we always have teas. Organic teas. We have a beautiful blend of teas.

When they do open back up over their brick and mortar, 217 South Salinas Street in Syracuse. And of course, you can see them this weekend.

The Summit Federal Credit Union Taste of Syracuse. Guys, thank you so much for coming in. Have a great weekend. I'll be sure to stop over and grab some banana pudding. Do so. Shout to Jamaica Cues. We'll be there with us. It is national leave work early day.

He just turned his mom mic on. He's leaving. Cody's out of here. Well, I'll hang out for a little while longer. I should have gone to song there. That would have been better. We should have just wrapped it up. It is National Leave Work Early Day.

Bye. No, no, you turned it off. You turned it off. I'm going to turn it back on. I'll just yell real loud. I'm still at work. And they've asked people, what is an excuse you can use to leave work early today? We always tell you diaries.

Yeah, it's going to be a real, like, you've had to have boy who's cried wolf for your boss to be like, I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so. One of the top excuses I had to use last week, we went to go to a splash commercial. I was eating my lunch. My tooth broke, I had to cancel it. That was one of them? That's one of the excuses.

You can say you broke a tooth. Dented in the emergencies are good, but you have to use them sparingly because you only got so many teeth. Yes. Yeah, you got to be careful. I got to go home. I broke my tooth. Um, a pipe burst in your house. Very specific, but again.

A leak. It would be a very good reason. To all of these, Cody is right. You can't be the boy who cried a wolf from the gale of cried a wolf. Yeah, got to be careful. You can be someone who's always got incidences at home and you're like, all right. Sure you do. Oh, my kids got it.

All right. Sure you do. So many times. I can do that, but you know, make a list. Your dog ate something questionable. That's, I mean, Paulie's got dog emergencies once a week. Or the, I do the same with Josh. Josh ate something questionable.

I got to go. Whatever that smells. Just was. Yeah. He ate something causatable. Yeah, that was a lot. I don't know what came out of me there, bud. Nebreka's sixth grandma passed away today.

You got to get out of her? Okay, congratulations. Oh, that, yep. Yeah, you can only kill off so many of your grandparents. Got pulled into a meeting at school. Ben uses that one. Nice. Ah, that's a good one.

Tunky said if my co-worker's water heater fails one more time. He's not home. Why does he need hot water? Because, yeah, if you were like a businessman like Ben, you get to use that, I bet. I got pulled into a meeting at school. I can't. I bet he's got a bunch of meetings, but I bet he could use that and who's going to question him?

He's business man, he's got meetings. I don't really ever have to, I mean, I'll tell Alex if I got something going on, but no one's ever looking for us. Well, that and we don't have hours,

because we work such weird, you know, random times. Yeah, there's no, like, set, we'll make sure you're here until punch it and punch out,

you know, whatever o'clock. Yeah. So whenever I'm done, you know, monkeying around. Did we do a satisfactory show? Are the clients happy? Did all of our work get done?

If the answer is yes. Then we're out. Then we're out. Goodbye. Jury duty is one. People use a lot. No. Didn't that bite Jim in the ass, though, on the office?

When he said he had jury duty, and then they found out he didn't. They're going to find out you didn't really go to jury duty. I've, no, no, I was, why didn't I think I had it? I was to call once, but then I forgot. And then it was one of those where I called. on Monday to make sure and I was lucky because it didn't happen. Yeah.

If you don't go to jury duty? Because I forgot to call for like two days like on a Thursday, Friday and remembered over the weekend. I was like, oh my God. I have never been called for jury duty, knock on wood. I would happily serve. I would happily do my civic duty and go to jury duty, but I don't think they'd have me because I'm a member of the media.

That, yeah. I think I'm too like in the know of everything. And I don't really want to. Not that I don't want to do my duty, but I would immediately walk in and be like, Hey, to somebody. And they're like, oh, you know? Yeah. And even if they were like, no, I don't know him.

Yeah. We're, what? Yeah. I know you. We grew up together. Yeah. Yeah. You're going to go, you look guilty to me.

Yeah. Hey. Or just walk in and you go, is he the, but he's white. Yeah. And then they go, hey. Wait a matter of what. And they kick you right out of there. What?

Yep. And some people are just saying that you don't need to give an excuse at all. Just say, I have something important to. take care of and leave. I don't. I mean, I was going to fly. It depends because I know that that ain't going to work because I remember back in the grocery store days, that's why I love this job so much. Every morning in the shower, all I would do would be, how do I leave early today? What can I do to get out? Oh, the grocery job? Yeah. So, yeah. And you can't. No, because you're at the grocery store. Grocerstores store places

and other places as well, but this is my reference. They're weird. They don't care. Yeah. Sorry. I got to leave early for... No. Oh, I don't think so. Okay. Oh, okay. Sucks for you.

Yeah. Well, listen, if you can get out of work early today, do it. Congratulations. Hell yeah. This is the team. Yep. The whole final. For the entire final.

All right? We're not flipping every day. No, it's just this. So for the next couple of weeks of gaming streaming, and we'll do the same thing tomorrow for MBA. Okay. So we'll either be the spurs or the Knicks. Our gaming streams will be finals for the next couple of weeks.

And also apparently make sure if you're out in Rome, watch the skies. Watch for meteors. When you get one of those cars, have them for extra bucks. Get a dash cam so you can catch a side of a meteor. I saw that. And that's crazy. It's crazy, right? It's not just, I thought it was just going to be like a, it's like a little like streak like, B-oh. No, it's a giant fireball shrieking through the sky. It was the size of an elephant.

In Rome. Yeah. You can see it. 300 tons of TNT. Yeah. It's dynamite. Love it. I love it.
