Starting point is 00:00:00 We interrupt this program. Previously, critics had brailed against the duo as crude, dumb, ugly, thoughtless, sexist, self-destructive, and foolish. They are not part of the legitimate business world. What they do is they celebrate underachievement. And all candor, I would tell you it's outrageous, Phil. And if I could find some way constitutionally to do away with it, I would. Orden dummies. You, hoi, ho, you precious dumdums.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Bless your hearts. Oh. They're all precious, Colin. They're all blessed. Oh, bless their hearts. They're just, they're just a little dim. Just a little dim. I could bless them technically with my, uh, you are ordained.
Starting point is 00:00:56 I don't know what blessing that means. I mean, I could send you to heaven when you die. Yep. I'm sure you could take some kind of confession. Well, I can do like the last rights thing. That's what a lot of that stuff is where I have like the clergy badge and all that. Like if I need to. Rush into a hospital and run up there.
Starting point is 00:01:21 Yeah. Heaven. Go ahead. Yeah. It's in the book of what you can say and everything. It's like, whoa, some of that's actually serious. Like, yeah, I've married people and it's how that this is cool. But that part is like, wait what?
Starting point is 00:01:33 Mm-hmm. You could just do like a blanket blessing at the end of every day and to be like, you're all going to heaven. Thank you. All of you. All of you. All of you. And now that I've watched that, and I won't spoil it for those of you who have not watched it,
Starting point is 00:01:47 but now that I've watched that midnight mass, you could be that guy. Oh, yeah. You could be a pastor. Yeah. Live for her. I started going back to watch that after you said that for Halloween time. I forgot how cool that is. It's a really good show.
Starting point is 00:02:02 I wish that guy would do more. stuff. It's the same actor. I don't know if it's supposed to be the same character. Well, I want, like, that guy in the writer to, like, okay. I'm going to do another one, yeah. Do that again. Yeah, keep doing scary stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Do that again. Happy Tuesday, everybody. Congratulations to your Cowboys last night. Yeah, that was a fun game to watch. You had the Raiders scoring some points towards the end. You step up to the end of it? Yeah. Just it was an easy one.
Starting point is 00:02:29 I just looked at the box score. That would they call it in football? Yeah. You had a big, like, first half for the Cowboys, so I figured you could probably be like, all right, that's good. It was good all day yesterday. I was trying to do that stupid announcer thing where I tried to. Preparing yourself, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Little Dallas Cowboys, and it just wasn't sounding natural. You and I are both good at preparing ourselves for the worst possible outcome at all times. Probably not a great way to live. It's probably detrimental to our mental health, but we're always just preparing for the worst possible outcome. And all day yesterday, Cody kept imitating. the announcer, and the Raiders destroy the Dallas Cowboys, 56 to Zero. Because it was such an easy. And Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys come to Las Vegas and gamble and lose.
Starting point is 00:03:19 As the Raiders bet on black. See, he was doing that all day. That upset the Cowboys. He's setting his expectations. We try to set our expectations. You hope for the best, prepare for the worst. And now they were even laughing about it on the TV comes a stretch. We were talking about yesterday where it's enjoy the,
Starting point is 00:03:40 oh, yeah, enjoy the Chiefs on Thanksgiving. Now your schedule's rough, you. Sorry, not even that yet. Enjoy the Eagles on Sunday, this upcoming Sunday. Yep, short week. And then enjoy the Chiefs on Thanksgiving. Four days after that. And then enjoy the lions a week later.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Yeah, yeah. And then Vikings charge. Vikings and Chargers you could beat, right? I don't know, man. Commanders, you could? Yes, maybe. On Christmas? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Yeah, we're on Christmas too. Did they always play football on Christmas? They just started that. It's where the NBA, they were like, the NBA doesn't get to have all this, because that's really when people would start watching the NBA. Myself and losing. Yeah, but I feel bad for everybody involved.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Like the people that got to work the stadium. Oh, yeah. There's even random college games now. I don't feel bad for the teams because they're making millions of dollars they can do Christmas another day. But no. But I feel bad for the concession workers that got to go in on Christmas. On Christmas.
Starting point is 00:04:35 There's multiple games. Ridiculous. Hope they get super holiday pay. Not just regular holiday pay, super holiday pay for that. Oh, that would be awesome. Listen, we're all in this together, and we need to help our family and friends who are facing food scarcity this time of year. That's why we are having our annual Thanksgiving hangover show over at Bagelicious.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Now, it's not just us. They're collecting all month long at Baybear. Plaza in Liverpool. You know bagelicious. They're right back there. You love them. I do. We'll be there live on Black Friday at 6 a.m.
Starting point is 00:05:10 the day after Thanksgiving, but they are collecting non-perishable food items right now up to that date. So stop mine. Give some goods. Help the people in our community. Oh, a little can. A little box. Stuffing.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Yeah. And notoriously, you guys usually give really good stuff. I'm not going to lie. There's been several times where I'm like, you know, you're just going to give them that box of Triscuits. And what I like about that bagelicious show is we see the same faces every year. Like every year, I won't blow up anybody's spot. Every year, one guy will bring you so much weed.
Starting point is 00:05:49 And we look forward to that. There's a show bro that shows up before the show because he goes to work, but he brings us stuff. Yep. Like, I just like seeing all of you and your support. So we'll be back there. It's a fun little community event. I like being in there.
Starting point is 00:06:02 I like being in a little space where we can be loud and they don't mind. I mean, we had a ska band one year for Christ's sake, so let's go nuts. Yep. Can I get a fight from within this year, get a little louder in there? I still want to do that at some point. I still think that'd be really funny to have a hardcore band play a couple songs. Oh, boy. Well, a 10-year-old boy drove himself home in Tennessee after an argument with his mother.
Starting point is 00:06:26 And I just picture him just ripping a heater being like, I told that bitch I can't I'm just gonna drive myself home I don't need this I've just had enough I told that bitch twice I know that bitch twice
Starting point is 00:06:38 I can't I said I got to get to bedtime I just can't with her I just can't She's always yapping at me We got Double recess tomorrow Bless her heart
Starting point is 00:06:49 But I ain't gonna be We got the parachute in gym class tomorrow I can't think right I'm on the blue team 10 year old boy drove himself home From right elementary school Friday after arguing with his mother.
Starting point is 00:07:01 So I'm trying to understand how this. So, all right, the incident began around 1 p.m. When the mother left her child in the running vehicle to drop paperwork off inside. So the kid's inside the car. Angry that he's having to sit there. She runs paperwork in. She's like, just stay here. I'm going to leave the heat on for you.
Starting point is 00:07:20 You're 10. You should be able to sit in the back seat and not touch anything. Having a chat inside. Police say they witnessed a car back. out recklessly, jump a curb and speed off. Oh, no. This woman, I just can't with her. I got to get out of here.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Jump the curb. I did it on purpose. Boy told police, Short cut. He drove home following a disagreement with his mother. During the investigation, authorities discovered the father had an outstanding warrant. This kid screwed the whole house. Daddy, doing nothing.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Dad's just home. What the hell? Why are the police here? Why have my boy getting out of the car or the front seat? Man, that kid just ruined everything. Oh, man, what a little ball bastard. Big day yesterday for our oldest, by the way. Yeah?
Starting point is 00:08:11 So we've been doing, we've been practicing driving. Finally jumped to curb? We jumped to Kurt. Hell yeah. Practicing driving, mostly around like Phoenix. Yeah. I think we've gone up to Oswego once. But that's just Route 48.
Starting point is 00:08:23 That's weird. I can get any sub-shop, but that's weird, but you just go ahead and go to Oswego once. Big day yesterday. Drove through the city. Oh, nice. Had to go to Fayetteville. Okay. So I let him drive all the way from our house to Fayetteville.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Handled construction on $690, all that. Do you teach him where to give the finger and all that? All the fingers flipped, yeah. Perfect. Awesome. We got into Fayetteville and I'm like, all right, you want to drive home? Like, nah, I don't want to drive anymore in Fayetteville. I get it.
Starting point is 00:08:49 I get it, but you got us here. Let's just tell them it's okay. You've got to learn where to give the finger and the thumbs up and all that. That way you can let some of that anger. out because you got on these roads. Since we were out here, we did some thrifting, went to the Soundgarden yesterday. They'd never seen the Soundgarden, blew their mind. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:09:08 The kids that age don't understand that, like, those stores exist, or they're just DVDs and music and clothes and posters. Yeah. It was awesome, man. They exist, but there's few and far between now, man. We walked around for an hour. It was incredible. Oh, yeah, you could say there for forever times. So much stuff going on.
Starting point is 00:09:25 That's weird, though. So no shop shop from us, so we go in, no wrestling DVDs. No. That's weird. They have them. I don't know if you're right there. They're on that wall. We did.
Starting point is 00:09:36 We did get a cut. Well, here's the thing. And this is maybe me not being as nerdy as I thought. When we go thrifting or we go to these places, they like to get, like, horror DVDs. They collect horror DVDs. And when we go to like a thrift store, they're a dollar. So I don't care. Even if you don't like it, get it.
Starting point is 00:09:55 But at the sound guard. It was like they were new. It's, and it was like 30 bucks. I don't know, bud. Thrift prices. But I don't know what, I'm sorry if I'm dumb. The DVD says 4K Ultra. Do I need like a special DVD player for 4K Ultra?
Starting point is 00:10:10 I don't know. Does the PlayStation play 4K Ultra? Would it? Would a PlayStation 5? I don't know what plays 4K Ultra DVDs. Because would like a regular DVD player? Would it just be like, I don't know what this is? It's too much for me.
Starting point is 00:10:24 They say PS5 does. Okay. All right. Yeah, I don't know. The back of the DVD was like 4K with 4K cable. And I was like, what do I have to? Remember that?
Starting point is 00:10:34 I don't know what this is. When I first started and he'd be like, here's Blu-ray Ultra, whatever. And you'd be like, yeah, sure, thanks, bud. Yeah. Regular DVD. Thanks, though. Yeah. But then I was talking to AJ yesterday because I was like, yeah, they're really into horror movies.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Yeah. Oh, yeah, he is. He's in that weird stuff sort of like that, right? He probably got a whole bunch of places. And I'll tell you guys this, unless this is going to impact my movie. life. He sat, because he works, so AJ, if you don't remember AJ, he used to do the show, my best friend from my school, lives in Colorado now and he works at a library out in Colorado. Of course he does. He says that's, I mean, his life is just the weirdest. He says,
Starting point is 00:11:09 you've got to download Canopy. It's a streaming app that you can sign into your local public library or school library and you can watch tons of vintage horror movies, TV, educational content. He goes, you've got to look this up. So I'm going to look up Canopy today. That's neat. Anybody else use Canopy? That seems like a cool app. Twitch.tv slash K-Roc, C&Y. So while this kid ripped out of a parking lot at 10 years old,
Starting point is 00:11:34 my 16 and a half year old did a great job driving to the city construction yesterday. That's where it's at. Big day of driving. Nice. Coming from a space to teach you of the Pleiades. Can't stop the spirits when they need you. This life is more than just to read through. How can I work Pleiades into a song?
Starting point is 00:11:52 I don't know, Anthony. He just figured out, I guess. Just put down the Thessalon. For us for a little bit. Do a little jibber jibber. Please. Good morning. And you'd be good to go.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Happy Tuesday, it's doggy drive-thru night at Wegman's lights on the lake. Coco and Elsa will be driving through. He lets Elsa drive, which I think is dangerous, but listen, it's his life. She's not bad at. She doesn't seem bad. You haven't crashed yet. She'll bump you. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:18 If you're not moving right along. Yeah. She likes to go through it a little quicker than I do. So if you're in her way, she will give you a little uptap. Because she can't reach the wheel and the pedals at the same time she's got to put on cruise control. So she's got to keep rolling. You just got to get out of the way here. I try to teach her how to use the hand ones there.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Yeah, the ups and downs. She's not as good at it. It's all right. Well, tonight, you can drive through lights on the lake with your puppers or cat or lizard or really anything. I don't care what animal you bring. Go ahead. And the money goes back to two great causes. Tonight, lights on the lake.com.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Get your ticket for just five bucks. Lights on the lake. I think didn't we hear we have somebody take their horse through? Not on the horse, but like... In a wagon, maybe? In the thing? I feel like I remember that image, but time is a flat circle. I don't remember anything anymore and everything's a blur.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Yeah. The older I get, the less I remember things. So maybe you're waking up right now, and you want to just stay cozy in your bed. No. I know I do. Although I haven't had to use an alarm in probably months. I'm just naturally waking up at like 350. A.m. now. Sucks.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Yeah. Just wake up. All the time. There's nothing worse than that. It's always like, oh, I could have just stayed asleep for half an hour? Yeah, no. Thanks, Pottie. That'd have been great. No. I'm just awake. But if you can be cozy, have you
Starting point is 00:13:39 seen the new potato bed trend? Potato bed? People making potato beds? No. I don't know how it would work if you, like, sleep with someone. Like, I got a lady in my bed. Oh.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Yeah, not trying to bread. Oh, this guy. I got a lady in my bed. Pontea. All right. It's a new trend people on TikTok are showing where here's what you do. You make a, basically a pillow baked potato that you climb into. You take a fitted sheet, turn it upside down.
Starting point is 00:14:12 So like the elastic is on the top. Yeah. Then you start loading it with pillows. Yeah. And you climb in the middle like it's a big, I mean, I would say it's like a womb. but a baked potato. That's a good idea. Grab a fitted sheet, put it upside down.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Two, fill the edges of the sheet. Yeah. With pillows and blankets. And then climb in, pull a blanket over the top. Potato bed. That's pretty cool. Ring it, ding, ding, ding, potato bed. Seems like it's more relaxing than just sleeping on a boring mattress.
Starting point is 00:14:42 I think it's because your body feels probably contained and safer, right? And it's like how sometimes I make the pillow barrier, so I can't flip over on my other side if I got like bad ass a reflux. and I want to stay on my right, I'll take a bunch of pillows and, like, down by your leg, and the back behind my back, that way I can't roll over. So it's kind of the same, but this is a way better idea. That'd be fun for, like, kids and all that crap. Put a pillow between my wife and I.
Starting point is 00:15:07 She requests that I don't touch her for some reason. Yeah, no, I get it. Yeah, Katie's right. It's like for those, it's not going to be good for those of us to get night sweats. No, I can't be underneath that. But I like the idea of you take that fitted sheet. you know, whatever, and then you put the pillows in it, and then you flip it up, flip it upside down.
Starting point is 00:15:27 So where, you know, you know, then you just lay on top of it, like a more comfortable, like little, like, beanbag chair without the beanbags. We were just surrounded by comfy pillows. My dream has always been. I mean, since my childhood is something I call the bird's nest, which isn't that, it's not an invention. People sell these now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:47 But if I won the loto, I would have a finished basement with one of those couches. that's like you climb into the couch and then it's like you're surrounded by the pillows. I know exactly what you're talking about. Oh, it's my dream just to climb into a bird's nest. I want one of those giant huge beanbag chair things you see that's like... My yogi ball? That's like, but bigger. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:16:07 It's like quarter of this room. Dude, those are, those look nice too. That'd be a lot of fun. I don't know where you'd put it. No, no. No idea. That are those human dog beds. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:19 That's very similar to my bird's nest idea. Yep. Rihanna got one on Amazon. Ken and Chad says separate blankets are a game changer. Yeah, I get it. Like, if you could, like, the Dick Van Dyke Show wasn't wrong to have separate beds. You probably sleep better. I probably, I know I upset my wife's sleep every night.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Right? You just, it's like the King of Queens. You just pop them beds separate there. Separate them, yeah. Anytime that you know, you want to do handholding, and then, right. She asked me to sleep in another room for some reason. I don't know why, but. My, my.
Starting point is 00:16:51 place? Yeah, I got to go to Cody's house. Weird, I don't know. She sleeps better if you're in my place. It's because she sleeps better if I'm not there. Yeah, yeah. Well, we're going to nationwide, not you and I, but the area, is getting nationwide attention as price chopper is doubling your penny value.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Yeah. And news stations all over the country are picking up on this. I bet that made it so annoying for my poor customer service. Oh, really? I'm assuming that's where you had to go. I have an interview with Mike Weiss, maybe, from Price Chopper, one of the managers. The way it works, if you're listening, I mean, we have Price Choppers around here. It's a great idea, man.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Whatever you bring in for your pennies, they'll double the value in a gift card to Price Chopper. So you got $100 for the pennies, they'll give you a $200 gift card. Yeah. Pretty smart idea. Here's Mike Weiss talking about it. We're not getting armored car drop-offs with pennies anymore. So we're running into a situation where we may not have enough pennies. they get us through the holiday season or through the rest of 2025.
Starting point is 00:17:53 That's just good thinking. If they're not going to get them delivered, they're like, all right, we'll collect them and we'll give you some money for them. It's worth doing that and giving out whatever they give out than having to deal with, you know, the customer service base of every single customer having to figure out, all right, do we round up, do we round down? You know what I mean? I hope they have one of those machines where they just kind of like the coin star or something.
Starting point is 00:18:18 You don't got a hand count them. Yeah, I don't know how that's working if they're putting it in the Coinstar and then coming up with the slip and then saying, all right, here's what CoinStar said. But you have to prove that it was all pennies and not other coins. So are they having to count? Any of our Price Chopper listeners text me? How's it working? It's got to be in pennies.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Yeah, that's what I mean. It's got to be rough. And knowing how some of the customers are and all of these. world, especially when I was dealing with you guys as a price shopper customer service rep. Some is used as jerks. Some people, all customers? Oh, yeah, they got, they got it. So I'm sure they have to figure this out.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Oh, Brianna says the coin star has it listed by denomination. So to say how many pennies you dumped in? All right. So, I mean, I have, I was going to go to empower. I have a giant bag of pennies. Go to the pea chop, double your money, bud. So I might as well get a gift card, even if it's, hell yeah. Even if it's $10 in food, you're leaving money on the table.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Yeah. Do it up. Shout up price job, you're getting national attention for this. Good thinking, good marketing idea. Oh, Tuesday. Tuesday is for high strangeness. The unexplained to the weird, sometimes aliens, sometimes ghosts, sometimes missing. person's.
Starting point is 00:19:52 And today's high strangers is something that's been referenced on this show a bunch and my fellow internet nerds know a lot about it, but I've never actually just played the whole story out. I asked Cody last night if he remembers it and he doesn't. So I'm going to play the whole story out.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Okay. And afterwards, you'll understand kind of why I have certain conspiracies in my head. Okay? It's the lamp story. Now, a lot of people say this is like copy pasta from Reddit and people just kind of like made up a story or was a real. This was a story that was posted on Reddit by somebody.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Okay. Years ago. And it goes down as one of the strangest stories really. I don't want to say too much because I'm going to give it away. But I've got, uh, oh, I didn't save who this is. Hold on a second. Mr. Ballin, I think this was. What, what is copy pasta?
Starting point is 00:20:45 What does that mean? It just means like somebody kind of like, It's copy, paste, copy paste. Like, it's a story that you hear over and over again. Okay, okay, okay. I don't know if it was like, oh no, not a term I don't know now. Nah, it's just nerdy stuff. Oh, where's my history?
Starting point is 00:20:59 A bunch of nerds. I don't even know. It's called scabies. Oh my God. This is Chris and Mr. Ballin. Okay. Discussing, this is Mr. Ballin reciting the lamp story. All right, I broke it up in two segments because I'm just going to let him talk it through.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Because I want you to hear the whole thing, and you'll understand why I reference you. reference this all the time and why it's so strange all right okay in 2004 there was this guy named Mitch who was going to a university in Louisiana and he's a senior and there's this girl in his class named Kayla who's also a senior and he just loves this girl he wants to date her more than anything and you know he's tried several times to to you know woo her but she's not that interested you know she's kind of playing hard to get but she you could tell there was something there maybe maybe she likes him And eventually she does kind of acquiesce and say, okay, you know, like let's go on a date, you know. And they hit it off.
Starting point is 00:21:55 You know, Mitch and Kayla hit it off. You know, they're an item. And they end up graduating. And after graduation, they get married. And by 2006, Mitch and Kayla have bought their actual, you know, white picket fence dream home in Louisiana. And, you know, life was great. You know, they love their careers. They both of them were very intentional about spending time together on the weekends and really
Starting point is 00:22:18 making, you know, their time together as a couple very important. And then by 2007, so they've lived in this new home for a year now, they have, they welcome their first child, their daughter. And then two years after that, which puts us in 2009, they have their son. And then they're done at that point. They got the girl. They got their boy. And it's like life couldn't be better. You know, Mitch loves his job. His wife loves her job. And they always had, you know, family game nights on the weekend and and Mitch and Caleb made a point to still have those romantic dates, you know, anytime they could. They always got babysitters to spend time together. So this is like a, it's the American dream in many ways. So this is Mitch and Kayla. They meet in college. They get
Starting point is 00:22:59 their house. They're married. They got their kids. It's 2009. And Mitch is at this little dream home. And he's watching football. He's sitting on the couch watching football. And, you know, it's just like any other day. And as he's watching the game, there's this lamp that's in the back right corner of the room, this non-descript, you know, target lamp. You know, it's a red lamp. And Mitch, he's seen this lamp a million times. It's in his house. And he's watching football. But at some point, he notices something odd about this lamp. And he looks over at it. And for some reason, the lamp itself, not the light ball, but the actual physical lamp, like the base was blurry. And the rest of the room is in focus. There's plenty of light in the room. But the
Starting point is 00:23:42 lamp is blurry. And so Mitch, he's, you know, he's looking at the lamp. He's rubbing his eyes to see if there's something in his eyes, but still, the lamp is blurry. He goes back to the TV, not blurry. You know, Mitch has good eyesight. This doesn't make any sense. And so Mitch finally, you know, he's worried about this, you know, is there something wrong with me? And he stands up and he walks over to the lamp. And as soon as he gets up to it, it's still blurry. And he touches it. So he turns around and he goes back to the couch and just does his best to ignore the still blurry lamp. And so he's watching the game, he's watching the game.
Starting point is 00:24:13 He's glancing periodically, but he's mostly focused on the game. And then at some point, towards the end of the football game, the lamp changes. It remains blurry, but out of the corner of his eye, he sees it moving around and he looks. And the lamp with having not been interact, no one's touched the lamp at this point, but the lamp is now turned upside down, which is, you know, it's not possible. It's flipped upside down and now it's blurry. And so now Mitch is, he's looking at this lamp thinking, okay, huge problems here. There's something wrong.
Starting point is 00:24:40 I might very well be having some sort of medical emergency, but for some reason that Mitch just could not place, he couldn't bring himself to call the doctor. I mean, this is a situation where you call the doctor. There's something wrong. And he knew it, but he didn't do it. Instead, he just could not stop looking at this lamp. He's not watching the TV. He's just staring at this upside down blurry lamp. And at some point that day or that evening, his wife Kayla and his two kids, they come home. And the second she comes in, you know, Mitch kind of breaks out of his, his fixation. And he thinks, I should tell Kayla about this lamp. I'm having a medical emergency. I should tell her.
Starting point is 00:25:15 But again, he doesn't. And in fact, he quickly thinks to himself, I can't tell her. I'm going to pretend this didn't happen. He kind of forgets about the lamp. And he goes and he sees his wife and his kids. And it's a normal night. She has none the wiser that he spent the day staring at a lamp that's blurry and upside down. And, you know, when Kayla came in, the lamp was not blurry and upside down.
Starting point is 00:25:33 She's not experiencing this. You're just tuning in. This is your high string just today. All right? The hell? You ain't here, dude. You ain't even ready for the second part. Okay?
Starting point is 00:25:42 Sit down. This is Mitch and Kayla. They got two kids. They're living the perfect suburban life. They met in college. Get that. And just random. This is the famous internet lamp story.
Starting point is 00:25:53 I've never. Nobody ruined it for Cody. Don't look at chat. I have no idea what's going on. Don't look at anything. I've referenced this a lot because I have this. You'll understand in a second. So Mitch is.
Starting point is 00:26:04 watching football and he notices that this lamp is weird, just like this physical lamp, it's blurry, it's strange, everything else in the room is fine, but this lamp is strange. Now it's upside down and Kayla comes home and he's like,
Starting point is 00:26:19 I think I'm having a medical emergency, so I'm seeing this lamp. Like a stroke. He's having a stroke. Right. So that night, regular night, you know, they put the kids to bed and, you know, Kayla and Mitch, they go to bed too.
Starting point is 00:26:32 But then after Kayla had fallen asleep, Mitch is wide awake. You know, you can't sleep. And there's something telling him to go down and look at that lamp. And so Mitch gets up and he sneaks downstairs and he goes to the couch and, you know, the light is not even on at this point. But even in the darkness, he can tell it's still blurry. It's still upside down. And he sits in the couch and he just stares at the lamp. And all night, Mitch sits on this couch and stares at this lamp in absolute silence. And then in the morning, Kayla gets up. She comes down. It's, you know, during the week, so it's a work day. She comes down and she finds out. And she finds out. And she finds out. And she finds out. Mike on the couch and she's like, what are you doing? And he kind of breaks out of it. And he's like, oh, you know, I wasn't feeling well last night. You know, he's lying to her. I wasn't feeling well. So I came down here.
Starting point is 00:27:12 And in fact, he tells her, you know what? I feel so sick. I can't go to work today. And Kayla's like, you've never taken a day off from work ever. And you don't seem sick to me. Like what's happening? And he's like, no, I just not feeling up for it. And so Kayla's like, okay.
Starting point is 00:27:28 But she's thinking there's a red flag here. So he sees this lamp. It's strange. He's up all night. staring at this lamp. He's having a medical emergency. Now he's going to take a sick day. Because something is wrong with this lamp. Yes, the lamp. But she doesn't know what it is. And so ultimately, Kayla and the kids, they leave for the day. And Mitch stays home. And he just stares at this lamp all day. He is staring at this lamp.
Starting point is 00:27:51 And by the evening when Kayla comes home, this is like eight, ten hours later, when she walks in the house, all the lights are still off, except for the red lamp. and she sees her husband who now is not breaking out of his trance. He's sitting on the couch and he is absolutely focused on this lamp. And when she walks in, she's like, what's going on with you? No reaction. Mitch is fully locked in on this lamp. He's completely unresponsive. And so Kayla is like putting it together that, oh my God, something's obviously wrong.
Starting point is 00:28:21 And so she grabs the phone and she calls the doctor to be like, what do I do about this? And she's at the same time kind of yelling for Mitch on the couch. There's no reaction. She's shewing her kids away, you know, go upstairs. you know, we'll deal with this. And so as this is happening, Mitch, who can kind of tell, you know, his wife is on the phone with the doctor, eventually he can't even hear her anymore. She disappears completely. And he's left with just this lamp. And the lamp begins to change for a second time. Now, in addition to being upside down and blurry, the lamp begins to grow inside the room. And so as it's growing, it's taking up more and more of this field of vision until this lamp is so big, he now is basically consumed by the lamp. And it's at this point that he begins to feel its blinding pain in his head. And he doesn't know where it's coming from. And then he hears a ringing in his ears.
Starting point is 00:29:07 And then all he hears is just people screaming everywhere. And it's total darkness. The lamp is gone. And then he opens his eyes. And he looks around. And he's surrounded by a sea of people that are all looking at him. And he's on the ground. It's broad daylight.
Starting point is 00:29:19 He's not at his house anymore. And he's looking around at this crowd of it looks like college kids. And he's looking for his wife and his kids. He can't see him. And he stands up. And he doesn't know what's going on. And as he's yelling for his wife and kids, Kayla, he was yelling for his wife and kids, a police officer comes charging through the circle and he grabs Mitch.
Starting point is 00:29:38 And without saying anything, he lifts him up, a grown man and just runs with him to his police car. And the whole time, Mitch is like, I don't know what's going on here. His head's still like, you know, he's still got pain in his head. He has no idea where he is physically. He has no idea where he is. And he gets thrown in the back of this police car. Obviously, there's some emergency happening right now. And the cop without say anything, he hops in the driver's seat.
Starting point is 00:30:00 and they start speeding down the road. And as they're driving, Mitch just starts saying, where's my wife and kids? What's going on? And the police officer was like, sir, you just hit your head. I'm bringing you to the hospital. And so ultimately,
Starting point is 00:30:12 the police officer brings Mitch to the hospital and they end up, you know, he gets treated by the doctors and nurses, but he discovers what's actually happened. Mitch was a senior in college, and he got tackled by a football player and he hit his head on the ground and he was unconscious for a fraction of a second,
Starting point is 00:30:29 like 10 seconds or something. And in those 10 seconds, his brain constructed an entire life with a wife, with kids, with the white picket fence, the house. None of it existed. He never had a wife. He never had his kids. They're not real. And so he realized what had happened when he was at the hospital.
Starting point is 00:30:46 And he had to grieve the loss of people who never existed and it wrecked his life. He did this huge Reddit post, this Ask Me Anything, where he tried to tell people what it's like to have basically lost your entire family who don't. exist. And he said to this day, he still has dreams where his little son will come running around the corner and he's perpetually five years old. He, you know, and that was his life. And so it wrecked his life and it never existed. It was just a figment of his imagination. That's insane. That's insanity. That's the famous lamp story for your high strangeness today. He was tackled in college. Wow, bro. He lived an entire life in 10 seconds. His brain constructed an entire
Starting point is 00:31:28 realistic life with kids and a wife and a house and a job and he comes to and he's in the hospital and none of it existed. That really is sad. Yeah. He, like, and that's why I live in this fear that like, what if I'm in a coma, you know, like this story really effed me up. That's crazy. I read it years ago and it really effed me up because I'm like, anything is possible.
Starting point is 00:31:56 None of what's happening right now could be true. You know, I hope that it is. I don't want to freak people out. But that's why we do, your high strangers. That was Mr. Ballin telling that story. That's crazy. I don't know. I've been knocked loopy.
Starting point is 00:32:10 I've never experienced, you know, a whole life. Yeah, I've never come up with a whole side life while being knocked loopy. I'll post that on our K-Rock Facebook page if you want to share that. Yeah, it's a lot, bud. Peaceful. Happy life. on the lake. Night two.

Starting point is 00:45:29 In the horticulture building, two sessions, one to four and five to eight. Buy your tickets now. So you'll be there for that six to seven block. Uh-oh, the buy now link is broken if anyone in the event side is listening. Sold out. Can't click the buy now link, just letting you know it goes to an internal server error. Old Taliban layer. So yeah, don't ruin my flight because you got a vape weed in the bathroom, dude.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Ah, see, this is the one of those. Don't ruin my flight. Or if you do, like, don't. How about that? Because don't. There's some places that... Do it edible. Some places you are not allowed to smoke anything.
Starting point is 00:46:08 I don't care if it's weed or not. A jet blue flight from Boston to Tampa had to turn around and make an emergency landing last week after someone vaped in the bathroom. Not allowed to. You're ruining it for everybody. You're ruining it for everybody. Here's the call to the air traffic control. I just have some questions. Is the cockpit secure right now?
Starting point is 00:46:34 Hey, for the cockpics secure, vape in the lab. Wait, all right, your crew... Relax, though. Your crew didn't inhale it. My crew inhaled it. No, they didn't. Maybe a little bit. They got a sniff of it, but they're not going to get high off of that.
Starting point is 00:47:10 Because you smelled it a little bit. You got to, it's not... There's no contact high coming off of a little vape exhaust. If anything, that should be enough of a reason for us weed smokers. To watch where we do it. Yeah. Because there are still people that are so uneducated about it. And uptight about it.
Starting point is 00:47:28 They think that, yes, obviously on a plane. That's right. Don't do it. But just that statement of, and the crew inhaled it. They opened the door and they probably smelled it or something. Yeah. Nobody is about to suffer or whatever. No one's going to get high off that.
Starting point is 00:47:44 But what did he say? It's, and now we're overweight? Oh, I don't know. I missed that part. So did you say that, so the crew inhaled it, got the munch? cheese, ate a bunch of snacks and now they're fat? Overweight. I don't know what that means.
Starting point is 00:48:07 Everybody in the air traffic control know what that means? I'll say here. Overweight landing or something? What does overweight landing mean for air traffic control? It means a pilot is landing an aircraft that is heavier than its maximum design landing weight.
Starting point is 00:48:24 Not how that makes sense then. That doesn't make any sense. I don't know how it gained weight. Overweight. I don't know what that means. Is it because when when you inhale you go Oh and you brew?
Starting point is 00:48:36 Now I have all more hair in me, so I must weigh more. Because even if they did start eating all the snacks, the snacks were already on the plane. Oh, yeah, yeah. The weight was already accounted for. What's latent? King is saying latent. They didn't burn enough fuel. Oh, that makes sense because they're overweight.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Yeah, but that, but the land, why would, I don't understand. Then keep going. Don't say you have to land because you're overweight. Yeah, you haven't finished the trip yet because you were requesting. Right, but because they didn't burn off that fuel. They can take off with all that fuel, but now they're going to be really heavy when they land because they were planning.
Starting point is 00:49:13 So they put so much fuel in the plane to get them to Tampa. Yeah. That adds weight. They can take off and they expect to burn all that off by the time they get to Tampa. Now they're overweight because they haven't burned the fuel off, is what he's saying. No, that's what I mean.
Starting point is 00:49:27 So keep going. So just keep going. Don't say that the reason you have to emergency land is now that's one of the reasons. Well, yeah. Because you want to land early. keep going. Does that guy go to jail?
Starting point is 00:49:38 Like is that a fatal crime? Oh, yeah. You're not allowed to fly with it. Yeah. Yeah, how do you get it on the plane? You can get it. You can get on the plane. I guess I do know a lot of people that can.
Starting point is 00:49:48 I've never been brave enough to try. I'm not going to. Or they don't go off. The vapes I carry, like, I bring vapes into the dome. I don't use them. They're just in my pocket. But like this one, this doesn't go off. Just put it in your little pocket.
Starting point is 00:49:59 So maybe this is the same thing. But I don't know, man. You're ruining it for us, Stoner. Stop it. Yeah, just stop. There's a big advocate of marijuana. Eat a bunch of edibles, pass out in your plane seat, and wake up when you get there. Yeah, no big deal.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Or just. You can make it. Wait. Boston to Tampa is what? Four hours. You can make it four hours. It'll be fine. Goodness.
Starting point is 00:50:22 Come back. It's fuel. To design the Lexus ES, all we had to do was listen. Your ears said exactly where to put the speakers. Your eyes told us where to put the available head-up display. Hey Lexus, find me an alternate route. Even your right foot helped out. It let us know you'd enjoy a little more torque.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Turns out you had a lot to tell us. We certainly heard you. The Lexus ES, not just for you, by you. See Burdick Lexus and Cicero. We're overweight with fuel. We're overweight with fuel. That was good. Good morning, everybody.

Starting point is 00:52:29 I would say so. Without a doubt. I would say so. Without a doubt. I mean, the love they get. You got me the shirt. So, I'm not surprised by this, but a new poll. Ha!
Starting point is 00:52:45 finds that only 17% of Americans will be buying real Christmas trees this year. Wow. We've all gone to fake. It's easier. It's the,
Starting point is 00:52:56 what's the word I'm looking for? Convenience. That, but like back in the day, it was like, here's a fake tree. But like, yeah, there's just like one. Now, advancements,
Starting point is 00:53:10 advancements. The advancement is fake tree, yes. Technological advancements. Yes. In, yes. They would just be like a normal whatever, but like the one you gave me that your in-laws,
Starting point is 00:53:20 we're going to just throw away that they were even done with that I used forever. Like that, like they looked like a real tree. Yeah, they're getting really good. I mean, I don't have money for those $5,000 like balsam,
Starting point is 00:53:31 whatever those fancy trees are. But those look incredible. Even just like the Walmarts there and Home Depot's and stuff have really nice ones. Mm-hmm. I'm a fan. I just, I like, oh, At least there's something going on, you know?
Starting point is 00:53:47 Some cake or... I like a big, annoying Christmas tree. I like the way they smell. Mm-hmm. All that whatnot. A poll by, and this is a real organization, the American Christmas Tree Association. Okay.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Found that fake trees are now overwhelmingly favoreded to real trees. 70% of people will buy a real tree, one and six. Fake trees have been the preferred option for over a decade now. I guess that's a bummer for, like, Christmas tree farms and stuff around here. Well, also the other thing is, yes, bummer, but also not so much of a bummer as they jacked the bejesus out of the prices of the Christmas trees. So I don't feel so bad for the Christmas tree farmer that through COVID tripled their tree prices from, you know, $20, $30, $40 trees to $60, $60, $100 trees. Yeah, it gets expensive.
Starting point is 00:54:43 Because that part is unfair. It's one of those when they just kept going and kept going and they just passed it along. And there are a lot of work. HK. In our chat says, I got a balsam hill tree and so many of the tips have already broken off. More expensive does not always mean better quality. That's a bummer.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Do they have a warranty on those things? I was, because I was going to, I'm going to finally get rid of that one because it doesn't work. Yeah, the one I should put it somewhere. And then we'll have a real fake Christmas tree somewhere and just see how long it takes anybody to notice.

Starting point is 00:59:17 He's a real guy. Well, I told you, you can't vape on a plane. You also can't bring a meat cleaver on a plane. Whoa. All right, that one's on TSA. How did that get through? That one's all metal. He dealt the flight.
Starting point is 00:59:31 Well, again, this could have been during the shutdown and the TSA workers are like, I don't get a man, I'm not getting paid. Yeah, yeah. I don't care what you do.

Starting point is 01:00:38 Carry on. That's my fault. I'm sorry. Or it wouldn't even be that big a deal if it was other things. You know what I mean? Because there's other things inside of that. Or was it just? Because then I'm still blaming you. If you just had a meat cleaver, I don't care if you just forgot it. You still, that's on you. That's on you. Also, TSA, like, if TSA missed like a little tiny pocket knife, okay. But a meat cleaver, like you said, that's all metal and that's big.
