#0165 - I Played Red Dead for 1,000 Hours and All I Got Was This Episode - 02/28/2025
What up? Yay. It's Friday. How's it going? It's Victor Wilt.
Good morning. Alright. Friday is when I start thinking about all of the productive things I'm gonna do this weekend, like sit around and play video games. Yeah. Well, I was looking at a thread about addictive video games.
What's the most addictive game you've ever played? Now, I think the games I've gotten addicted to are not necessarily addictive games. I think you gotta have a certain personality type to get really hooked. I mean, if you're a long time listener, you know I've got a Red Dead problem. I can just go back to playing that game.
Like, time and time again, I've put in over a thousand hours into that game. It's ridiculous. What game did I play a little bit of last night? Red Dead. You know what I was doing?
I was trying to beat the gambler challenge number nine, which is where you have to win three games of dominoes in a row. And, I played one game, lost, and then I just got furious and decided, okay. It it's bedtime. What are you doing? Because I could've ended up sitting there playing dominoes all night.
I did beat that gambler challenge number eight couple nights ago, and that's, I think, the most aggravating one because what you have to do is play blackjack, and you have to win three hands where you hit at least three times. So not only do you have to, like, make it through three hands of blackjack where you hit three times without busting, you also have to win. So, basically, it's luck. It's pretty much luck because that's five cards on the table. So you gotta, you know, wait for the dealer to deal you out like a four to start And then just keep hitting and hoping.
Alright. Low cards every time. Anyway, that's the most addictive game I've ever played. Behind that, maybe, for me as an older person anyhow, Super Meat Boy. I'm sure there were games I was hooked on when I was younger, but I I played Super Meat Boy until I became a pro at it.
And it's a it's a challenging game. So the most popular answer online, not a surprise whatsoever, World of Warcraft. I had multiple roommates who got totally hooked on World of Warcraft back in the day And the fact that every single person I knew who played the game got super addicted to it, I just didn't even ever try it. Like, I I I don't need I don't need that kind of addiction. I I don't have enough time for the things I wanna do as it is.
No World of Warcraft for this guy. What other games are people are saying are addicted? Civilization five. I haven't played that. The Sims.
Okay. I did kill a lot of time on the sims back in the day. This would have been when I was about like, I don't know, 19? I got really hooked on the original. The original sims.
Yeah. That you would think with as ultimately stupid of a game as the sims is, you would not get hooked on it. You could just do everything in the sims in your real life, But there's something more fun about controlling, imaginary people doing the day to day tedium. You know? Make your sim get up.
Make breakfast. Go to work. Come home. Take a shower. It's like, why is that game fun?
I don't know. I don't know. This is a pretty great threat because it's letting me know what games to not play. Age of empires, Skyrim, Factorio. I I only heard about the game Factorio, like, yesterday.
This isn't good because it keeps popping up in front of me. It's like the, cosmos is like, you should check out this game Factorio. What's Factorio? Alright. I gotta pull it up here.
Oh, it doesn't look like my type of game. You build and maintain factories, hence Factorio, a construction and management simulates simulation game. Alright. Yeah. I never got much into, like, sim city and games like that because, I think I was too dumb for them.
Diablo two, maple story, halo two rocket league, Tetris. Yeah. I could never get addicted to Tetris because I suck at it. So, all right. Lots of games to avoid there if you are prone to video game addiction.
And, what's going on? What's going on this morning? Anything exciting in the news? I'm gonna dig and find out. Are you currently going to SKU?
Well, there's a list of, at least according to Redditors, careers and college degrees that people are pursuing that are a waste of time in the current market. Wanna help you shift things up. Perhaps you're engaged in, you know, learning a trade that it's going away in the modern age. Well, let's find out. I'm sure radio's gonna be in the list somewhere.
Luckily, I didn't go to school for this. Yeah. If you wanna get into the the radio biz, do not go to school for it. K? It doesn't necessarily help you get a job.
And, honestly, everybody who's come out of college and I end up having to, supervise, you gotta, like, totally just retrain them on everything. Alright? They might as well be a brand new to radio person, because whatever they're teaching in in college, at least around here, It's perhaps a little bit dated or something. Yeah. Certainly not anything to do with the, professional radio business being taught in school from what I've seen.
I don't recommend you kids get into the radio biz. It's fun. It's fun, but it's a very, very competitive industry at this point because, radio groups just keep firing people. Yeah. They're kinda like the, federal government.
Just mass layoffs. Alright. What's the Internet saying? Journalism. This person says I studied journalism back in the nineties.
Going by articles I read now, I highly doubt anyone studying it anymore. Yeah. I've I've complained about the news plenty. Perhaps people should be going to school for journalism. Maybe we could get back to a, day and age when the news just reports the facts.
Yeah. Wouldn't that be great? It'd be helpful. Alright. What what else do we have here?
Useless careers. No. Not according to me. This is according to the Internet. So, you know, if you're in one of these fields, don't get mad at me.
I didn't say it. I'm just reporting what the Internet's saying. My best friend has a PhD in cartography and used to joke that she was the most educated person working at Walmart. Yeah. You know, we talked about that on the noon hour yesterday, actually.
Nothing more frustrating than racking up a bunch of college debt for a certain field you get out and you can make more money working at a entry level job so you might want to take a look at something like that what else do we have here This person's not being helpful at all. Sometimes all that matters is having a degree, blah, blah, blah, blah. No. We wanna know about specific degrees that people should not be pursuing. If you have a useless degree, it's useless.
I don't know. When people send me resumes, I don't care in this business, in radio, if they have a degree or not. You know, I look at their experience as well as their, their talents, you know, take a listen to what they're doing as far as commercial production and their show. Yeah. You you have yourself a a a PhD in radio.
I couldn't couldn't care less. What else do we have here? Getting into graphic design right now seems wild. You know, we've got a lot going on with AI, and I'd say graphic design is a pretty risky field to get into right now. But if you are really talented at it, that's going to stand out.
So don't let the Internet, stop you if you've got a natural talent in a certain field. I think there's always going to be a demand for real artists, but I don't know. Maybe once AI figures out how to make hands, you're all doomed. I don't know. Let's see.
This person says my BFA in theatrical design and production has gotten me several retail jobs. Yeah. I mean, anything relating to the entertainment business, that's like rolling the dice. You know? I I got very lucky.
I got very lucky to be working in the entertainment business and getting to the spot I'm in today. Most people don't. Most people don't. There are way more talented people than me who tried radio. And again the gamble just didn't pay off they were working for I heart meteor or something and it was time to downsize well the bottom line's all that matters so we don't care about your talents get Alright.
Maybe maybe I don't wanna look at this here. Yeah. Again, I'm I'm scrolling through the comments here, and all I wanted to read was specific college degrees that are maybe not worth the time, but people are just talking about, like, college in general. I don't know if that's the Internet for you. People can't stay on topic.
We'll be back. While she sleeps to the flowers, if you wanna catch them live, they're gonna be in Salt Lake City, April Sixteenth at SoundWell along with Barry tomorrow. That'd be a pretty great show. I have not seen While She Sleeps live, and I'd like to, so I might have to, attempt to go. I don't know.
Midweek, though, it's a little bit rough and, gonna be taking a little PTO right before that. So probably slim chances of me attending that one. Alright. I got a text message from Peaches directing me to Twitter. Making me go to Twitter.
Gross. But anyhow, it's a post about a 100% AI generated streamer. So I'm looking at a video here. At first glance, it would appear that this is a, you know, 100% real, young lady playing a computer game, but there are some signs. You know, you see a little, funkiness with the hands here and there.
Also as someone who plays computer games, you don't have the same image on both of your dual monitors. Alright. It's not how it works. But she looks pretty real. I would imagine that most people would probably, if they were scrolling past this video, think this is a real person.
And the debating in the comments is going wild. And what are the streamers of the future gonna do? AI is gonna take over. And I don't know. There's a lot of people in the comments saying, like, no.
People have a demand for real people. Alright. We're never gonna see a time when AI actors or AI online celebrities, you know, become a popular thing. And I gotta say, I doubt it. I, I think within probably a year, we're gonna start seeing AI personalities that people are huge fans of and follow and engage with all their content, chat with them, even though they're not real.
It's already happening. We've talked about AI girlfriends and things like that on the show before AI companions, you know, people just checking out from the real world and, engaging in a chat with, you know, chat GPT and having a great time doing so. Imagine when you've got somebody who looks like a real person just talking back to you and, you know, I'm not gonna get into details, but scrolling through the comment section on here, I think there are certain particular industries that are going to definitely see a transition to a ton of AI content. We'll just call them adult oriented industries. Yeah.
Guaranteed. Guaranteed. It's gonna get so weird moving forward. And without question, people are going to be following AI celebrities. Hopefully, my time in the entertainment business is not about to come to an end.
I don't know. I think I've got a somewhat unique personality, but I don't know what computers are gonna be able to, create. They might be able to make some really entertaining people, and they'd probably be more skilled than me. You know, trained. Trained through AI to not flub and fumble over your words and be a disaster.
You know, they're never tired. They don't have to chase their cat around in the yard in the dark in the morning so they don't end up being late to work. They're always there. They're always on their a game. We're doomed.
But, you know, as long as the AI can take over the government, then I I think we'll be okay. You know, if we can get rid of these, human politicians and implement the AI government overlords, I'm I'm ready to give it a shot. I think most people probably are at this point based on the feedback I'm seeing on social media. I think most people would be willing to give, computers a shot at running everything. So, anyway, there you go.
Google it up, AI streamer. It it's kinda weird. Again, looks like a very real person, and there are already, again, Instagram and, other platform TikTok celebrities that are 100% AI, and people are engaging with them as if they're real people. So, yeah, this is gonna get to being more and more common, and it's gonna get real strange. I am not having a great time here.
Few minutes ago, I don't know, maybe fifteen minutes ago, all of a sudden, my allergies just started kicking in like crazy. So I've been sitting here just coughing, like, blowing my nose. Thankfully, I brought my allergy meds. Forgot to take them yesterday, but this is not jeez. See what I mean?
This is not good. I got a lot that I need to get done today and most of it involves talking. And I can't even just sit here and sit. I'm gonna do my best everybody, but, oh, I've been sneezing. It's a nightmare.
Always remember to take your meds everybody. Right. I'll do my best to turn the mic off when I start hacking. I swear I'm not sick. Feel fine other than oh.
It's just relentless. Okay. Kind of like this robot that I'm watching attack people. Okay. So this was at a music festival in, Northeast China.
You should Google this up. Google humanoid robot attacks crowd and check it out. It's, this must be like a rave or something and you've got this AI powered robot wearing a a festive, vest. And all of a sudden, it just starts lunging at people in the crowd. It's kind of frightening.
Looks like something out of Black Mirror. You know, earlier I was saying I can't wait for the, AI overlords to take over the government, but if they're this aggressive, I mean, I would imagine that an all metal robot with an AI brain, if it decides it wants to beat the crap out of you, it could probably do it. Alright? I mean you punch it in the face, what's gonna happen? You gotta do some serious damage to take down an AI powered robot.
So let's go ahead and, avoid the physical AI beings for the time being. Oh, I'm so distracted by the, relentless urge to sneeze or cough. This is so unpleasant. I took the allergy meds though, so hopefully they'll kick in. Maybe they'll kick in by freak news coming up here in a few minutes.
Or you might get lucky today, and you don't have to listen to me do much yapping. I don't know how traffic school's gonna work. Lieutenant Crane, gotta learn how to run the board today. Alright. Let's see if I can get through some freak news without all of a sudden sneezing like a madman.
Ugh. What an annoying morning. Jeez. I haven't got, like, just brutalized by allergies out of nowhere like that. That's that better be all that it is.
Seems like the Zyrtec's starting to help a little bit, but, oh, last thirty minutes. Not fantastic. Alright. Let's go. Let's go with some freak news.
The Internet is raving about nature's Botox. Does it work? What is that woman smearing all over herself? Let's see. Flaxseed.
Okay. That looks like such a pain. Like, is it isn't that gonna clog up your drain? I know flax seeds are small, but she has flax seeds all over herself. They're in her hair.
I don't know if it'd be worth it. Oh, here's a woman with a brown banana peel just rubbing it all over her face. Yeah. Apparently people think that, bananas will reduce wrinkles. What are doctors saying?
I I don't know. This article's really long. If you're you're into, smearing, you know, seeds and fruits all over yourself, you could probably look up into, you know, this information on your own. Oh, here we go with the allergies again. Anyway, maybe it works.
I don't know. I just wanted to let you know that's a thing. Alright. What else do we have here? Peaches talked about this actually yesterday during the noon hour of madness and mayhem.
And I thought, you know, okay. Peaches, it this is just due to the type of stuff you and your friends have been talking about and or pulling up on your phone and sending to each other. But, no, it turns out it was an Instagram error that turned Instagram reels into a never ending scroll of murder, gore, and violence. Now, I mean, that's not great. You know?
I I don't like people being subjected to that kind of stuff. But, yeah, I don't scroll reels very often, so I didn't experience this, but Peaches was like, yeah. Every video I'm getting is, like, people getting murdered and, like, I don't know, Peaches. What you've been looking at? Yeah.
Apparently, Instagram apologizing for the mistake. I'm not gonna describe some of the things that people were seeing, but, yeah. It was like, rotten.com had made a made a 2025 comeback in the form of Instagram reels. I hope you didn't have to go through that. You know, kind of, funny that this all happens after, you know, some of the content flagging was eliminated by the meta platform.
All of a sudden, you're gonna get to see gruesome murders. Way to go, Zuck. Way to go, Zuckerberg. Alright. What else do we have here?
Thieves bought a lottery ticket with a stolen credit card. Somebody, broke into a French man's vehicle and stole his credit card, bought some lotto tickets. And I guess won the jackpot. French people are really nice. Not saying the thieves are, but the the guy whose vehicle was broken into, he's offered to share the jackpot with the thieves.
I cannot imagine this happening in America. I mean, I myself, somebody broke into my truck and stole my credit card. I mean, you shouldn't leave a credit card in your vehicle. But if somebody stole my credit card, used it to buy lotto tickets, and then won, I'd certainly be like, that's my money. Give me all of it.
Every cent. Yeah. You know, as much, as you hear people talk crap on the French, there must be a few few pretty nice folks in the midst over there. Alright. We'll dig into, some more stupid news throughout the program.
I'm gonna continue to, drink water and try to crush these allergies. Oh, I just feel like I'm gonna sneeze or cough. Time to bail. The Zyrtec has kicked in. I'm doing pretty decent now.
It it was rough there for about an hour. I was like, oh, no. Am I, like, getting down with the sickness? Thankfully not. And I woulda jumped on air sooner, but I got a, phone call from my daughter.
And, you know, when the phone rings early in the morning, it's, you know, a little after 07:00 where she's at in Phoenix. I'm like, oh, jeez. Oh, no. What's wrong? So I pick up the phone, and she's like, dad, I've got some epic news for you.
I'm like, oh, okay. Good. I like the way this is starting. And I thought it was gonna be like, oh, my kitties are getting along because she got a new cat recently. And, you know, that that would have been surprising because it's a long process to get two cats to not wanna kill each other.
That was not why she called. She called me to tell me the very important news that she had just beat Red Dead Redemption part one. And I was so proud as a dad and Red Dead Maniac to hear that. I've been trying to get, you know, both the girls to play Red Dead one for many years. My daughter Maddie has played through part two, but Taryn, neither game.
So I had gotten her GTA five for Christmas, and, she really enjoyed that game. So I was like, alright. You you gotta play the, you know, the king of all stories. You gotta do Red Dead one and two. So for Valentine's Day, I sent her a copy of the PS four version of Red Dead one, the, you know, remastered version, as well as a copy of Red Dead two.
And she loved Red Dead one. She, you know, cannot wait to jump into part two, and it's hard to talk to her without, giving any kind of spoilers or anything. And, yeah, I'm just really happy that she, dug the game as much as I hoped she would because, I mean, you know how big a fan I am. So, she was very excited. And, I can't talk about what she said because I don't wanna spoil the game for you if you've never played it.
But, you know, we talked a little bit about, the the ending and such, and, she's definitely very curious how they could possibly pull off a Red Dead two. I'm like, well, you just get ready. You get ready for the greatest game of all time. So, yeah, that was my productive, work this morning for the last, I don't know, ten minutes or so. Just talking with my daughter about Red Dead one and her experience playing it.
Well, I guess it's not just me. Peach has said he got a little bit irritated when he walked in the studio. Yeah. I came in to grab one of those, headphone adapters from the back drawer there. And I get to the Cannonball studio, and I sneezed, like, three times in a row.
Maybe it's something, yeah, in the air because it it was brutal for about an hour. It's really sucked. Is Jade rotting up there? Maybe so. And I maybe he snuck by and crop dusted.
I don't know. He turned to dust, didn't he? He he could. He's pretty old. So what's going on with you today, Peaches?
Oh, nothing. Same old stuff. It feels weird. It feels it doesn't feel like a Friday because I have those two days off during the middle of the week. And I got here yesterday, and I was talking to Star.
She was okay. Fine. Like, she was over the week, same with a lot of other people here at the moment. It's been a long week. It definitely feels like Friday to me.
You know? So, hopefully, I can get my crap done. I was trying to work on, like, commercial spots and things, and I'm just like, sneezing and runny nose, but, it it seems like it's cleared up. Thankfully, I'm always packing meds, you know. Had some Zyrtec.
I had some allergy eye drops. So I I just hit it from every direction. I'm glad you also pointed it out yesterday. You also saw what I was seeing on my Facebook. People just posting generic statements that are kind of controversial in order to gain traction on Facebook.
Well and I made that post, and I think people didn't read what I said at the top where I'm like, oh, I need to up my game. This is how you get 11,000,000 followers. Because I saw that page, and it was that post was obviously getting a lot of traction. So I went to it. I'm like, who is this guy?
It's the same thing yesterday. We talked about it at the noon hour. Yeah. 11,000,000 followers that guy has. That other guy had 1.6 that was like, the younger generation doesn't wanna work.
Yeah. And this post was, I can't be the only one that thinks rap isn't real music. And I think a lot of people only saw that part, not me saying, I need to start making posts like this so I can get more followers, because, obviously, I'm I'm a fan of rap. So, I do think it is real music, everybody, in case you didn't understand the angle I was taking with that post. Well, Peach is off air.
We were talking about the fact that today's the day you're not supposed to buy anything. Economic blackout day. Yeah. Works out great when you got the kind of money I do because I didn't plan on spending money because I don't have any money to spend today. So, yeah, I can protest not even by choice.
Yeah. I bought a sweatshirt from Walmart and the the one in Twin Falls on the way to Nampa. I'm like, maybe I should just get, like, a nice hoodie in. There's one with a frog as a samurai on the front. Oh, yeah.
I'm like, sure. Let me get that one. And I almost wore it and kept the tag on and returned it the next day. But then I was thinking, like, they're gonna have it's gonna have that concert smell. I'll feel like karma will get me.
I just won't wear it. I'll return it. I don't feel like spending this extra $20. I need that money. So Alright.
Returned it the next day. I'm gonna need to buy some new hoodies because last time, Taryn was here, she shows up from Phoenix in the middle of winter, and she didn't bring a coat. So, of course, you know, she borrows my, zip up ghost hoodie And takes it. And took it because she needed a jacket when she left. I'm like, well, I guess that's now your hoodie.
You gotta go to a place like Ross. That's where I picked up a few hoodies. Well, at least one. I got that, the coffee one Oh, right. In Vegas.
Mhmm. And it it was a great deal. It was, like, $6. I should probably scope our local Ross for new hoodies because Definitely. The the other recent hoodie I bought was, regular price at, Spencer's, the sleep token one.
So that, ate into my budget. But, anyway, speaking of the cost of things, the new Poppy single they're gonna be pushing is The Cost of Giving Up, so I figured we'd play it right now. It ties in. Look at that. The magic of radio.
Yeah. I it's not a very seasonal song for this time of year. Why do we play that in Schools Out from Alice Cooper? Not to sound like the, you know, listener vortex, but why do we play this stuff? Because I like to, torture the listeners and also us.
I mean, we're always out of school, thankfully, but there are kids who listen, and I wanna remind them that for some of us, school's always out. Well, don't worry, kids. It gets worse. It does. It's not gonna get any better, kids, as you get older.
So, you know, enjoy it now. Gotta deal with people like Jade. That's right. You're gonna have to put up with Jade. He went back he went to school with Abraham Lincoln.
Yeah. I mean, he's been around a long time. And, yeah. Songs about summertime, that's just just me being rude. Just rude to all listeners.
Like, remember remember how it can be nice outside? Yeah. I I also remembered how nice it could be year round for some areas. Like, when I went to Nampa, and I was like, oh, it's nice and warm over here. There's no snow.
Yeah. And I know for a fact, once I get back home to California in April, it's gonna be nice and hot, and then I'll come back here and be miserable. Oh, yeah. Yep. Taren's been rubbing it in.
You know, the beautiful weather in Phoenix. Right now, we're entering into that perfect time of year to go to Phoenix when everything's all green and the flowers are blooming. Everything here, brown and dead. Yeah. No kidding.
Gotta wait till, May or June before we get to see plant life that is actually alive. And then everyone flocks over here and gets in the way. Yeah. Yeah. Those that got to see the winter get to stay for the summer.
Well, you know, maybe the tourism season will be a little bit different this year. I've seen, a few different national parks kind of, limiting their hours. So that could lead to a little bit lighter, travel through the area if people aren't able to visit some of these places, as often as they're used to. Because I know if we're going back home to Orange County, the beaches are gonna be overpacked because of all the beaches in Los Angeles being closed due to the fires and the damages that were caused by those. Yeah.
That, they'll be going down south or maybe even north. No. You can't really go north because there's not really too many great beaches north of, Northern California. Rocky beaches that are really cold. Oh, jeez.
It's like going to the beach on the Oregon Coast. I mean, you generally gotta be bundled up. You know? There's only been a couple times I've been to the Oregon Coast that it was warm outside. I've heard the beaches in Texas are even worse too.
I bet they're, like, hot and humid. Texas Beach sounds awful to me. Yeah. My friend lived in Houston for a while there, and he would drive an hour and a half to the water to go stare at the ocean and feel emotional. Yeah.
I mean, I've only talked to a few people from Texas, but, like, yeah, Phyllis. Yeah. She always said the weather there was just, like, miserable. Oh. Just hot and humid.
But, you know, it was very similar to Idaho aside from the weather. She always called that Idaho cold Texas. So, you know, maybe maybe it wouldn't be too bad. I mean, I've flown into Texas and doesn't look great to me. But I I like mountains, you know.
Texas is just flat flat desert. But see, I don't like I don't care for mountains and hills. I just like the flat land. I don't wanna go up a hill for a driveway or walk up a hill for no reason. No.
I I like the mountains, man. I I like having something in the distance you can see. Even if it's hills, that's something, but just that flat you know, like when you drive through some parts of Nevada and it's just nothing. You know, there there are interesting areas where you got mountains and stuff, but, yeah, like, I I don't think I'd like Arizona near as much if it didn't have the mountains. Well, the I I like it's weird.
I like the city skyline to stare at more than just like a mountain. Ah, so you know yeah. I I've seen a few city skylines that I found interesting like New York City. That was like, okay. That's a city skyline.
Right. Yeah. You're like Vegas too. Vegas has a pretty good skyline. Seattle, I I I do like Seattle.
I just hate to drive there. Miami, Florida. Never been to Miami. You know, I plan on going there in, what, you know, fall? Do you?
Yeah. I'm gonna go to Miami in the fall. Are you? Through through my PlayStation five. Oh.
Is that Grand Theft Auto six? I'm gonna spend a lot of time in Miami. Man. You want to take a great vacation? That's where I'm going to Miami.
K Bear, you're live on the show. What's up? Hey. Just calling about Texas. Oh, who who's this?
This is Justin. Justin. Now are you listening in Texas, or are you just from there? I I grew up. My summer's out there.
Alright. So what you got on, Texas? Well, so I grew up out in East Texas where my family is. There's they have a couple things that they call, you know, mount this or mount that. Mhmm.
But, it's it's just hills, but out east, it's all pine trees. It's kinda swamp. Yeah. Yeah. Texas is so huge, that yeah.
The the eastern part is completely different from the western part. Yeah. Yeah. So when when I go out to visit family, if I drive, it takes me two days. It takes one day to get to Texas and one day to get across Texas.
Yeah. Yeah. I've heard it's a pretty brutal drive, from bands and stuff that have driven all the way across from, like, Houston, you know, to make their way to, you know, out of where of their head in Arizona and New Mexico. You get to some of the metropolitan areas. You know, Dallas is the traffic is miserable.
It doesn't matter what time of day it is. The traffic is just absolutely miserable. You think one day one day drivers out here bad. Texas drivers are pretty bad. Yeah.
I've never driven in Texas. I've just been to, the Dallas Airport. So, that's my my Texas experience. Looking out the window going, oh, it looks hot out there. Alright.
Yeah. I spent I spent fourteen hours in that airport, years ago because they got two inches of snow in February, and they didn't know what to do with themselves. So it it was kinda fun watching the the crews that load the planes and everything since planes weren't taken off. They're having snowball fights and, you know, they're having a good time, but I was stuck in the airport for much longer than I wanted to be. Oh, yeah.
I'm I'm not a big fan of the Dallas Airport. It's kind of, kinda cramped in there and always just very packed with people. So I I'd go Yeah. But it's better than Salt Lake. Salt Lake is a very aggravating airport.
So those are probably my two least favorites, but, I I bet there's gotta be some worse out there. I just haven't been there. JFK for sure in New York. Yeah. I've never never been through that one.
It's one of the it's a maze to get out of there. You have to take a subway, different trains. There's a whole weird map you have to look at. Right on. Yeah.
Dallas is pretty easy to navigate. You do have to take trains, but not too bad. So Yeah. Yeah. It's fairly easy.
You don't have to walk a mile just to get to another gate like you do at Salt Lake. But, so, yeah, I figured I'd call in about Texas. You know, there's not the mountains, but there's out east at least, there's enough of the trees and greenery that you at least feel like you're out in something instead of out in the desert or in a concrete jungle. Nice. So if you were gonna recommend one place in Texas to visit, if you wanted to go visit Texas, what where would you recommend?
I'd say kinda right around that, Eiler or Kilgore area. Okay. Yeah. It's that's east. You'd get there.
They've got a lot of little lakes and stuff that you can go play out in. You've got a couple areas where you can hike in, but then you're only, Kilgore is about an hour, hour and a half away from Shreveport, Louisiana, and they've got a couple casinos over there. I I teased my my so my brother lives in Hallsville, and I teased him that Hallsville, Texas is, Louisiana pretending to be Texas because they they love their Cajun food. Just yeah. Yeah.
I can see I mean, that that area is just, yeah, right there on that eastern border. So, yeah, you looks like if you wanted to visit, Louisiana, you could. You could also road trip it quite a ways to Houston or Dallas if you chose to. But, yeah, I've Yeah. That's an alley I would have thought of.
Three hours away, and then you can even go north up into some areas of Oklahoma if you want. Nice. Well, I I do wanna eventually, you know, visit as many places as possible. So I'm I'm gonna note that because, that's a region I'd never really heard of in Texas. So looks pretty cool.
I I do it in the winter late fall. I was out there this November. My family is complaining about it being cold, and I'm walking around outside at, you know, 09:00 at night, and it's 70 degrees. There's a little bit of humidity, so there's a bit of a chill. Yeah.
But, you know, I I flew out of Idaho Falls out there or out of Idaho Falls to there, and it was I think we were either low teens or something like that when I flew out. When I landed, it was 65. Oh, perfect, man. Heck, yeah. Yeah.
Alright. Avoid the summer because it's hot and humid, and you feel like you're breathing through a wet T shirt wrapped around your face. Yeah. It sounds brutal, man. Well well, dude, appreciate, all the tips, man.
