#0190 - Cookies vs. Bears, Tuna vs. Broadway, and Me vs. My Last Few Brain Cells - 04/30/2025

Sup? It's Victor Will. Morning to you. Alright. Let's take a look at some things that might improve our quality of life.

You heard me complaining the second I walked in. Tired. It's early. Alright. Maybe general life quality improvements would prevent me from doing that for the first break of the day, like, pretty much every day.

Alright. What improved your quality of life so much you wish you did it sooner? Okay. I'm guessing. Oh, exercising, eating good, blah blah blah.

Let's see what we got. Replacing my Amazon Basics office chair with something that actually offers lumbar support. Don't get me started on chairs. Alright? I don't have a lot of, complaints about work aside from, you know, waking up early.

But the chairs around here, they do suck. I really wish Jade would put me in charge of chair shopping. Alright? I don't think we're doing any chair shopping anytime soon, but I tell you what, the the people who in the past have been in charge of purchasing chairs around here, they do not know how to pick a chair. Alright?

I don't know if they just go based on looks or price or what, but you can get a good quality chair for, like, hundred 50. Alright? Guarantee my office chair cost way more than that. And, it looks nice, but it's not good. Anyway alright.

Let's move on from that. I don't need to be getting annoyed about chairs this morning to start the day. I've given up on fixing the studio chair that, you know, peaches broke. Sorry, peaches. I know it's been a while since I brought that up, but you still did break the chair.

Okay. Let's see. I am a software developer, so I spend over eight hours a day looking at a screen. Okay. That's me.

I mean, I'm not a software developer too dumb for that, but I do spend about eight hours a day looking at a screen, started having severe tiredness, depression. And this lasted a couple of years, no matter how much sleep I got, I didn't help became irritable, started having headaches. I thought it was sinus headaches. Oh, this sounds all too familiar. Found out that it could be eye strain.

I started resting my eyes every thirty minutes, focusing on something around 20 feet away. Okay. Yeah. That is a good thing to do. That's happened to me in the past.

Doctor recommended that I start, giving my eyes a break so I might, like, walk outside or something. I haven't done that in a while. Maybe I should do that. Maybe I've got some eye strain problems while I'm all exhausted. Blackout curtains.

You know, if you work a funky schedule like me, they're essential. You know, right now, I mean, it's not like I'm getting to bed early, but it would be impossible without blackout curtains. And now I've put blackout curtains pretty much everywhere in my house so I can go home after work and just turn it into a cave. It's pretty awesome. Alright.

Let's see here. Understanding that working with someone smarter than you is a privilege and an opportunity to learn and hone your own skills, not a threat. Oh, yeah. I mean, I figured that out back when I was a teenager, you know, being in bands, find people who are smarter and more talented than you bring them on board. Yeah.

Surround yourself with the best. It's the way I roll. Alright. Any other, big life tips here? Moving out of my hometown, I never felt like where I was from was home, was never comfortable, kept hitting hurdles, trying to come up and be better.

But once I left, my entire life trajectory changed for the better. There you go. Leave. It's so easy to do. You know, every time somebody fires off at me on Facebook, why don't you leave Idaho?

Like, why don't you leave? I've been here, you know, my whole life. Who are you? Maybe I would up and leave, but you gotta find a job. Gotta be able to afford housing and, well, the places I'd like to go, the housing's more expensive than here.

So here I remain. At least we're in the nice time of year right now. Don't have to deal with winter or anything like that. Quit that toxic job. Yeah.

Or quit that toxic relationship. You know? Anything toxic. Cast it out if you can. Oh, there it is.

Diet and exercise. Yeah. I knew that would pop up. Alright. I know.

I need to work on that. Buying a dishwasher. Alright. I'm spoiled. I've had a dishwasher for quite a while.

I don't even remember the days without one. Blocked them out of my mind. Alright. We're rolling. Didn't really, discover anything life changing there, but that's fine.

Well, we all know that reading the news these days isn't necessarily fun in a lot of situations, but that's why I like checking out East Idaho news. They've got other sections aside from, like, news news that you can check out. For example, East Idaho Eats. I talk about this often enough because who doesn't like food? Right?

If you don't like food, you're gonna have a rough time in life. So I always enjoy finding out about newer restaurants in the area. Now this one's been around for a bit, but they did post a recent article about smoking fins. Been a while since I've been there. I should probably get over there one of these days, have myself something good to eat.

They got that or at least they used to have this, like, deep fried avocado with, it was like crab or lobster on it or something. All I know is it was ridiculous. Really good sushi. They've even got, Wagyu cheeseburgers and something called a vampire taco. What is a vampire taco?

Oh, I'm looking at a picture of them and they sure look good. Holy cow. Alright. I shouldn't look at this food at 06:42AM. Normally, I don't get an appetite because I don't look at food at this hour.

Yeah. I think I'm gonna have to go hit up smoking fins. Anyway, if you wanna find out more about smoking fins, just go to eastidahonews.com, pull up the features section, and take a look. I mean, there's a lot of different things on there. They have the, seven questions, which is an interesting feature.

You've got Nate Eaton's daughter, Emmy, interviewing celebrities. Pretty fun. You've got feel good Friday, just stories that make you feel good. And, you know, looking back, that's a section we dove into last week talking about the, cave full of bones and the, human fly who carried his wife across the edge of the Rigby Hotel back in, like, the nineteen thirties. Oh, no.

It's it's just nice to be able to get away from regular news and just look at some interesting stuff. So if you're looking for a new place to scroll, eastIdahonews.com. Go check it out. Radio can be super cringy. I'm sure, you know, you listen to my show.

We go cringe. That's for sure. But I saw a local radio page, just a random post. And I don't know why this annoyed me. They were just talking to their audience and they called the listeners of the station, basically the same name as the radio station.

And, I don't know why that seems super cringe. Like, you know, we've used certain terms for our audience over the years, The Kaibear rock army, pretty cringe, pretty basic. I thought it was pretty fun when we started calling y'all the Scat Pack. You know? I don't know.

It's some type of a, engine thing. I I you're not talking to a car guy here. K? But, you know, bears, scat, that was pretty funny. But if we just called our listeners like bears or cubs or something like that, I've I've heard a a number of these over the years and, you don't need to have some kind of a silly name for your audience.

You're just people. All right. You're just part of it. K? So I I know listeners is kind of boring, but I'm not gonna start calling you all the the grizzlies or something.

I don't know. Heard some rumors of, changes in the local radio market. That's kind of fun. Always interesting seeing what the geniuses out there come up with to try to get people to listen to a radio station. I've said it for years, and it'll never happen around here.

But if a radio station in town wanted to change their format and actually get people to listen, you have to implement a format that's not already out there. And pretty much all that East Idaho is lacking is a straight up hip hop format. You know? I think if you were to make a radio station that played a combination of new rap music and classic rap music, it would crush. But the boomers who run radio, no way.

Not gonna happen around here. So I never really get excited when I see a local radio station mentioning they're gonna do some changes because they're just gonna do something boring. You know? Like just want, want, want. So anyway, as soon as I get more info on this, I'm guessing a Monday, we can start poking some fun, but, Yeah, It it's just so funny to me.

It's like the constant underestimating of the rock and metal format. You know? Rock radio nationwide still afraid of metal. It's like you guys are idiots. No offense.

I I guess, how do you call somebody an idiot and say no offense? But, you know, anyway, I'll keep you updated when we get this, radio station's format flip, fully underway. See what they're gonna do. But I know it's gonna be just boring. It's not gonna be anything exciting.

It's not gonna move the needle because you have to give people something that they they don't already have. And there are not very many creative people in radio around here. So, anyway, that's what I was looking at. You can find a lot of weird stuff on Facebook Marketplace. I enjoy looking at it.

You know? I've found some good items for the old house on Facebook Market. Don't think I've ever seen a World War one shipwreck for sale, but apparently, some guy just purchased one. Now the original person who owned this purchased it hoping to find, you know, things of value and then just found a rusty old ship. It's it's underwater.

So this guy who's into diving was like, alright. $400, it's mine. The SS Almond branch, a British defense armed merchant ship that, was taken down by a torpedo in 1917. So, yeah, you never know what you're gonna find on Facebook market. I don't think I would dump $400 on a shipwreck for a variety of reasons.

I'm not gonna go diving. I mean, you've heard me talk about natural waters. Not my thing. Oh, yeah. I need to well, okay.

Secret sound times today. We're just gonna be calling people. So there are no secret sound times today. Sign up in the app. And if you're lucky, we will call you.

Okay. I'll give out some secret sound times. We'll do a couple on air calls. Hang on. We'll get back to this Facebook market stuff in just a second.

I just looked at the clock and was like oh geez it's already after seven. Why don't I have a pen? Where's all my, where's all my stuff? Jeez. Okay.

Today, we'll do, blue nine and two. K? Nine and two, the hours to listen for the secret sound powered by the advocates. Okay. Back to Facebook market.

I was wondering if I'd find anything weird in my Facebook market. Because if I find weird stuff for a good value, I do like to, have that around my home. Oh, look at this. Complete Stephen King collection. 103 books total.

$2,500. Got any collectibles in here? Alright. Now it's hard to tell. There could be some books of pretty good value in here if, say, the Salem's Lot or Cary were first editions.

You know, they could be book club editions. There are some dark tower hardbacks, Say the, first four books in here, I feel they could be worth upwards of a hundred bucks a piece if they are first printings of that particular edition. Okay. I I gotta get out of this. I I don't need to buy any of these, and I don't have $2,500.

But, anyway, if you wanted to get the entire Stephen King library all at once I mean, it's not the entire thing. You know, I don't see, like, my pretty pony or some of these other, really rare books in there. But it it's a good collection looking at it here. They've even got his wife's book. Okay.

Sorry. I get distracted. I was looking for weird stuff. Two sets of small animal harnesses. What kind of animals are these for?

Squirrels, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pig. I don't think you're allowed to have a pet squirrel. And could you train a squirrel to, you know, walk on a harness? I don't I don't know if you could. Sounds like quite the challenge.

Cheese cave fridge. They use this fridge for aging cheese. Okay. I mean, it looks like a wine fridge to me, but I'd be much more likely to have a cheese fridge, I suppose. Oh, man.

They're really trying to feed me the, Stephen King books here. Alright. Stephen King paperback book lot. Alright. I have all those.

Show me the weird. Show me the weird. Oh, guitars. Yeah. I don't have money for that either.

Nothing weird popping up. I mean, there's a homemade sourdough loaf. Sure. You need some bread? Good.

Alright. I'm disappointed. Disappointed. Usually, I fire up Facebook market and something bizarre will pop up. Apparently, not today.

That's just lame. Eight foot dark angel animatronic. That's pretty cool looking. Hundred and $25. Halloween right around the corner.

What? We ain't got no shipwrecks or anything like that? Come on. Come on. Alright.

Anyway, I'm gonna bail on this one. Disaster. We'll be back. So someone on Reddit asked for medical professionals to give information on ways that people may be getting sick that they're unaware of. I hate getting sick.

I don't like using my time off because I'm not feeling well. I always feel guilty too. You know, don't feel guilty when I take a day off that's planned. But if I'm just sick and shouldn't be around people, yeah, I just sit there and beat myself up about it at home. It's ridiculous.

So, anyway, anything I can do to avoid getting sick. I'm down for some new info here. You know, wash your hands, keep your phone clean, stay away from people. Alright. Let's see what they got.

Right out of the gate. This is not related to sickness, but injury. Alright. It still might be good information. After a certain age, different for everyone, you should get rid of every slippery pair of socks, uneven area rug, or any other tripping hazard in your homes.

Very easy to trip and fall in the dark trying to get to the bathroom, and a lot of people have major complications trying to recover from a broken hip or other leg injury. I really need to put a railing on my stairs to my, Second Floor. I I know that, going down those carpeted stairs in socks with no railing one of these days. How much does it cost and how difficult is it to put in a railing? I would assume you just, you know, screw into the, you know, the the the boards in the wall, you know, find yourself a stud.

Alright. Anyway, I'm not gonna think about that right now. I ain't got no money for that. What else do we have? Ways to actually avoid getting sick is what I'd like to find out here.

Leaving a tooth infection without treatment. Oh, yeah. That's, horrible. If you're having teeth issues, like, you should get them looked at immediately. There is nothing worse than a tooth issue that goes too far.

You wanna talk about excruciating pain and sickness? Ugh. People don't realize how their partners make them mentally sick. Yeah. I mentioned earlier, if you're in any kind of a toxic friendship or relationship, get out of it.

K? It's never too late to get out of it. Even if you're, like, 50, 60, 70, you got a toxic partner. It's never too late to get divorced. Alright?

It's probably for the best for both of you. K? Alright. So far, we're not getting any real tips aside from the tooth infection thing of how to avoid getting sick. Don't stop your meds because you're feeling better.

Yeah. Yeah. When it comes to things like antibiotics or, you know, probably any type of meds that a doc has told you take the full run, take them. K? What?

If your toes start turning black from untreated diabetes, it's not going to get back if your toes are turning black, go to the doctor immediate. Who's gonna think that, oh, my toes are turning black? It'll be fine. So far, this seems like a lot of common sense to me. You have a tooth infection.

You know, it, your partner's like, oh, it smells like there's a dead body pouring out of your mouth. Jeez. Okay. Brush your teeth. Again, this is all common sense here.

Untreated sleep apnea. Okay. I've talked about this plenty because I have sleep apnea. Alright. It's kind of embarrassing at first, like, oh, I have a CPAP machine.

I'm so old. But, man, what a game changer. If you have any issues with sleeping, go get a sleep study because you never know. You might be, like, just not breathing during half of the night. It's not good for you.

It'll kill you. So, yeah, if you have a partner who snores or, like, goes and they, you know, literally sound like they're not breathing, they should probably get that looked at. K? Yeah. If you're tired all the time, go get a sleep study.

Okay. Don't swim with your contacts in. Interesting. I would think that, just swimming in general. You know?

What what difference does it make if you have contacts in? I don't know. It's what they're saying here. Again, with stopping the antibiotics. Don't drink alcohol and wash your hands.

Yeah. Drinking can kill you, and it lowers your immune system so you're more likely to get sick. So try to avoid the old booze. I know that one could be tough. Don't let your dog lick an open wound.

Who would do that? Yeah. You know when people say dog's mouth is cleaner than blah blah blah. No. Dogs eat all kinds of nasty stuff.

K? What kind of, you know, ancient remedy is that? Just have the dog lick that open wound. What? Alright.

This this thread's getting a little baffling. One supposed doctor here says he's had many male patients with that. We'll just say butt problems because they don't wipe. What? That he said this with multiple people.

That is disgusting. I mean, you should probably, like, shower afterward. I mean, alright. We're not gonna get into the the grizzly details of that. That is absolutely hideous.

Sorry. Now you're sitting there pondering. Who do I know? They're just like in the movies when they use the, toilet. They just get up and pull their pants up and walk away.

That is just vile. Do you enjoy bleak, depressing content? I do from time to time. Nothing like throwing on some Black Mirror and just feeling dirty afterward. Came across a thread here about movies that messed you up for days after watching them.

Alright. There've been a few that I've seen. Always go back to Requiem for a Dream. You know, that it's such a good movie, but it's so horrible. I tried to throw it on recently and give it another watch, and, yet, it didn't happen.

I made it, like, three minutes. I was like, nah. No. I'm not, mentally prepared for this right now. So let's see what movies bother people on the internet here.

Alright. This user said, I wouldn't say messed me up, but every time I watch The Big Short, I just feel like, well, we're gonna be screwed again sooner or later. At the end of that movie, they let you know that we're screwed again right now. You wanna get aggravated? Watch The Big Short.

Yeah. I guess that could mess you up. Not like sad, just angry. I watched that not too long ago, and it's it's a very, very frustrating movie. Alright.

A movie called Dear Zachary. I don't know if I've ever seen that. Seems like I've heard of it. Alright. They say it's a documentary.

It'll simultaneously be one of the most sad things you will ever watch as well as one of the most infuriating things that you will watch. Okay. Yeah. I I I guess I'm gonna have to pass on that for today. You know, maybe when I'm feeling down on the weekend I I like to watch stuff that's really bleak when I'm not feeling well.

Natural disaster stuff, depressing movies, Black Mirror. Alright. The movie seven. I I wouldn't say that messed me up for days after watching it. Another really good movie.

If you've never seen it, I I'd I'd recommend it. How weird that this one popped up? AI, artificial intelligence. That movie popped into my head the other day for the first time in years and years and years. I really wanna watch it again because I remember, you know, really enjoying the movie, also it being, you know, kind of bleak.

And, yeah. I'm gonna have to fire that up again. I don't remember it messing me up, but, there's Requiem for a Dream. I knew that would have to pop up on this list. The Land Before Time.

Yeah. That movie's horrible. Very upsetting as a child. All these movies that came out when I was a kid, they're just not great for, mental health. You know, I've talked about all dogs go to heaven.

That movie scared me so bad when I was a little kid. Land Before Time sticks out as another one. It's been a long time since I watched it. I don't remember what about it was even so bothersome, but I remember it being pretty bleak. K.

The Fox and the Hound. Another sad movie. Bambi. Right out of the gate, Bambi's mom gets killed. The butterfly effect.

I haven't watched that in a long time. The mist. Alright. One of the few examples of a movie ending better than the book. You know, a lot of people hate the end of the mist, but I I know it's dark and, kind of frustrating, but I thought they ended it pretty good.

The road is a movie I've never watched. I have the book. I've been wanting to read that, but it's always on every list of the most depressing, bleak stories you could possibly dive into. So yeah. I don't know.

Haven't felt very, happy. So gotta you gotta be in a somewhat good mood to read really dark material. No Country for Old Men, that that movie's pretty dark. The Green Mile, Event Horizon. Human Centipede.

How could Human Centipede mess you up for days? It's a comedy, people. Maybe I need to go back and watch it again. It's been lots of, lots of years since I watched the human centipede, but every time I've watched it, it just made me laugh. It's ridiculous.

Bambi, Schindler's List, Memento. Alright. Yeah. I don't know. Y'all be weak.

Memento's messing me up for days. Hereditary messed me up for day. Hereditary's a great movie. I mean, it makes you think, and it's fun to watch YouTube videos after you've viewed the movie and see all the little things that are hidden throughout that movie. It's a it's a great movie.

I can't wait for the new Ari Aster movie. Alright. Anyway, I guess I better get digging up some freak news. I was I I was hoping I'd find something. Like, I gotta see this movie, but it seems like it's just the road.

That's the only one I haven't seen on the list. So I I guess I coulda kept going, but no. Time to get ready for freak news. Back in a minute. Okay, my people.

Freak news time. Hope your morning's going good. See what we got here. Alright. A Florida man helping deputies wrangle a gator on the side of the highway.

I'm watching video of it here and this guy's a pro. He's doing all the work and he's barefoot. This just makes me want GTA six. This guy screams GTA six character. Yeah.

He's wearing a camo shirt. It's a tank top, camo shorts. Yeah. He's all buff. Looked kinda like, you know, a a beach jock, and he's just, wrasslin' a gator.

Fantastic. I gotta visit Florida one of these days. It's just such a crazy place. Yeah. As far as the news goes, you just have to hope it's as exciting when you get there.

I'm down for seeing crazy people in public. Alright? Sometimes I'm one of them. So yeah. Alright.

Let's see. Flatulence spray responsible for people fleeing a Connecticut beach carnival. Yeah. Apparently, somebody used the flatulence spray, fart spray, easier to say, near the exit of the McKinley Carnival on Jennings Beach. And I I guess people, I don't know, thought there was a, you know, toxic nerve gas released or something like that.

Started running, screaming. It was just a nasty fart smell. But, you know, you you smell something toxic. I've wanted to run screaming out of the studio many a time when Jade stops by to say hello in the morning and decides to drop one of his toxic bombs. So, well, from what I've heard, fart spray can be pretty nasty.

I have not, had the privilege of smelling it. It's supposed to be pretty bad. So, yeah, that was in Connecticut. Also in Connecticut, I saw a story where'd that tab go here? Was about them releasing this, criminal, the Connecticut cannibal who showed aggressive behavior in prison.

Okay. His name is the Connecticut cannibal. If that's your your nickname, I would say chances are you're going to be an unreasonable person. You know, if you hate people, you're probably needing to stay, you know, in a secure facility. That's just my opinion.

The Connecticut cannibal. Alright. Well, good luck to the folks in Connecticut. Oh, in Bridgeport. Wow.

Okay. Sorry. My, my lady lives in Connecticut, and, thankfully, you know, decent amount of, distance between Bridgeport and where she's at. And finally, I guess if you're dealing with bears in Florida and they approach you and you're scared, hit them with a bag of cookies. What a woman did?

Got a bear off of her dog? Yeah. I mean, you can throw a bag of cookies at just about anybody and stop a confrontation. Right? If I'm feeling mad and someone's like, here's a bag of cookies, I'm I'm gonna change my tune immediately.

Just like a bear. Yeah. Alright. Well, anyway, kind of a light freak news day. I mean, there are some really funny stories going around, but they're all political.

They're one of one video I saw was so funny. I wanted to play the audio from it, but I know that I know that some people just can't laugh. Can't laugh at their own side, but it was funny. Alright. Anyway, I shouldn't vague book on the radio.

We'll be back. Generally, when you hear of people sneaking things into a show, it's pretty much always, illicit substances or booze. Right? Well, some people sneak in snacks. Woman headed to a Broadway show.

I guess didn't wanna buy the refreshments that they may or may not have had available, so she snuck in her favorite snack, can of tuna fish, and then just opened it up in the middle of the show and just started mowing it down. Yeah. That's like bringing fish to work and, you know, nuking it in the microwave. You just don't do that. Alright?

People are trying to enjoy a show and you just got this fishy smell floating around and it's like a a toxic fart just as bad. Don't do that. Okay? You're gonna sneak a snack into a theater. Make it something Well, you shouldn't do that.

That's against the rules. I better throw that out there. Don't wanna get accused of, encouraging breaking the rules. But, yeah, sneaking in candy bars. Snickers.

Nobody's gonna care. I mean, it might make that sound when but opening a can, that makes a whole bunch more racket. You know? So, ugh. It's a weird snack too.

Just tuna fish straight. And then you just gotta mix it up with some mayo or something like that. Put it on a bare minimum a cracker. Who just busts out a fork and just starts mowing down tuna right out of the can? And you gotta drain it too.

It's all watery or oily. That's just, it's getting kinda disgusting here. So yes. Snickers. Alright.

Candy. It's a much more enjoyable snack when you're watching a movie. You don't always have to be healthy or a Broadway show or whatever. Alright. Get yourself some Reese's.

Alright? Now just because I talked about your farts earlier didn't mean you needed to bring them in, dude. I don't know what you're talking about. Well, apparently I just had taco Tuesday yesterday. So you know When you had Taco Monday the day before that.

Yeah. You guys And then nacho Tuesday with leftover hot sauce from Taco Tuesday. You're making my guts churn, dude. I I was feeling a lot better today, but now you got, tacos and hot sauce running through my brain. I'm like, maybe my guts aren't better.

Oh, hot sauce is good stuff. It was good. It was good. I don't know what's to blame for, some of the horrors I Old wolves with. That's what's to blame.

It could be that. You know? When you get old, you just start falling apart. And we are getting very old at this point. No offense to the listeners older than us.

You're old too. You are. You're old. You're really old. If you're older than me and Jade, you're decrepit old.

Just playing. Just playing, JD. No. I'm not. He's decrepit old.

He he is. He really is. Good dude, though. So, we were talking off air about this, and I think it's a good time to bring it back up. Some fun things we're doing with the, secret sound to, kick up the chances of winning this week.

Yeah. You know? Because who doesn't need $1,000? I could use $1,000. Dude, if somebody handed me a thousand dollars, I mean, I'd it would make a tiny dent in the bills.

You don't wanna buy a couple of cartons eggs. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it would help a little tiny bit. Here here's another thing.

We have something special coming for next week that'll correlate with the secret sound. Oh. And you're only gonna get some of that if you sign up through the apps. Apps. Ah, and I know what it is, but I'm not gonna say yet.

It makes me tired to even think about it. And I think I'm too fat to wear my suit now. What am I supposed to do? What the heck? I know.

Like, I've really bulked up over this winter. And, you know, last time I went to the classy prom, by the way hibernation plug still in? Apparently. You know? So I was thinking about it.

I'm like, what am I gonna wear to the prom? I don't have any nice clothes. If you haven't ever read about the hibernation plug, the bears. Oh, I have. But for those listeners who might not have caught what we were talking about there Sign up for the app for the Gabrielle on Sacred Saturn Road.

Yeah. Century Attorneys. And you might win some money. Good luck. Good morning, Peaches.

Good morning. Hey, Dave. We were talking about old timey radio off air, and it reminded me of a news article I read earlier about this, radio station that's rebranding themselves. KSRW. They're a, classic rock station.

Where are they located? I feel like I've heard those call letters before. Let's see. Let me Google it real quick. RW.

Wait a minute. KSRW. I I wanna say it was in California. Yeah. I was gonna say I feel like I've listened to that station before.

Licensed to Independence, California. Let's see. They, cover Bishop and surrounding areas, Mammoth Lakes North, must be Northern California or something like that. They call it classic rock of the Eastern Sierra or at least that's what they used to call it, Peaches, because they've rebranded, and now this station is known as where'd it go here? Apparently, they haven't updated their website with this.

This is annoying me now. Where did that tab go? Hold on. Sorry, listeners. This is a big fail on my part.

There we go. KSRW relaunches as the classic rock asylum. I saw that just now. I I looked it up as you were typing there. KSRW.

Yeah. Classic rock asylum. The change was made announced by Sierra Wave Media who describes it as a way to embrace their lunatic side and passion they have for classic rock music. That's right. They're crazy.

They're crazy. I guarantee you they're not playing any asylum from disturbed or anything like that. They're playing working for the weekend lover boy. That's what they're playing. Dude, there's nothing crazier than that, Pootches.

Moody Blues. Woah. We're going wild tears for fears. Yeah. They're run they're run by the lunatics.

Let's take a look at what they're playing right now. Who's their morning show host? Lunatic Luther or something like that? I think it was a syndicated show if I remember right. Mentally unstable Mike in the midday?

Yeah. You have to rebrand all of your DJs as something relating to a, crazy person. Praise Carl? Yeah. Hannibal Peach.

It's gotta be it's gotta be like Hannibal Hector or something like that. That's true. I mean, the playlist, Peaches, does look wild this morning. It looks like it's run by the lunatics. Did they have, like, culture club karma chameleon on that playlist?

Well, we've got Angel of the Morning by Mary Lee Rush and the Turnabouts, King and Country by the Bee Gees, Water of Love by Dire Straits. Oh, so you have to be crazy to listen to this crap. Yes. Exactly. I mean, it does look like it's programmed by lunatics because those aren't even hit songs.

We're going deep. Yeah. All deep cuts, all b sides. Deep in the asylum. We're at maximum security.

No. No. No. No. No.

The Thrill is Gone by BB King. That's a good song. Something in the Air by Thunderclap Newman. Have you ever even heard of that? That's a DJ name right there.

Thunderclap Newman. Clap Newman. Alright. Hold on. I've gotta hear what oh, now it changed to another song.

I gotta find their image and I really wanna hear what they have to say in between the songs. Nothing crazier than this playlist. What do you Michael Ned Smith. I bet their DJ sounds so bad. Okay.

We gotta find out We're in this classic rock asylum. Alright. Let's see if, they mention the DJs. Okay. KSRW shows.

Steve Gorman Rocks. Okay. I've heard of this syndicated show. He's a founding member of the Black Crows. So, you know, fitting on a classic rock station.

Overnights. We got deranged Dave come coming at you. They got somebody named Buddha man. Buddha man? Buddha man.

Yeah. Do you think he's fat? If you're gonna call yourself Buddha man, you better look like Buddha. You have to. You you got it.

And then they've got, latest from the greatest with the insane Daryl Wayne. Daryl Wayne. I feel bad picking on these guys. You know, if you're at a classic rock station, you know, most markets don't have an active rock station like us. I bet one of them sounds like they've smoked cigarettes for forty years.

I hope so. They have like that Is it from the the asylum. That's right. We're from the asylum. I've been inside.

Well, and then they air religious programming on Sundays. Dude, this is the weirdest station ever. It is run by lunatics. Okay. So every day, you've got weather reports four times a day, fish and snow reports.

You've got, tales among El Camino Sierra, Stories by David Woodruff three times a day. Stories by David Woodruff. And then the on Saturdays, they have Casey Kasem, top 40 of the nineteen seventies. Then at 7PM, Buddha Mans, Echoes of Rock and Roll, and then 8PM latest from the greatest with the insane Daryl Wayne then Sunday Faith for Today by Pastor James Brown the pastor without a pulpit then inspirational music it's you know it's kind of like the, Sunday blessings on Classy. Yeah.

I looked at the location of this, station. It's way far East Side California, bordering, Nevada. Oh, okay. Okay. So out there in the, desert there.

How do you go from they they do two hours of religious music and then slam back into Casey Kasem at 9AM. Is Casey Kasem. That's you know, I mean, there is a place for religious radio, but Broadcasting from the asylum. Hey. We have seen some unhinged videos of Casey Kasa Oh, we have.

Off air. Do you think they air those? I hope if you're gonna be the asylum, the classic rock asylum. But again, like I was, trying to say you know working at a classic rock station you wanna try to make it cool you know because it's nothing's cooler than Casey Kasem I feel bad. It and they're a small market, you know, Desert California station.

We're making fun of them. I mean, we're in Idaho Falls. Like, I don't know if they can make fun of us. Totally make fun of us all day. I don't care.

I would love to hear a classic rock DJ go absolutely unhinged. Shaggy, we're waiting on you, bro. Wanna hear Shaggy just loses mind. I wanna hear angry Shaggy just go completely unhinged. That'd be hilarious.

I should text him and be like, hey. Just start insulting me out during during the the big meaty lunch or whatever you call it. Yeah. Be like, speaking of big and meaty, you see that big old peaches? I I spotted him the other night at the, comedy show.

Yeah. He looked alone sitting by himself. Just like all of his listeners. I would love to hear Shaggy busting out some disses, but I he's just too nice. I can't imagine him doing it.

The one guy I would love to see insult us is Brad Barlow. I feel like that'd be the funniest. Dude, I know. Brad Barlow sucks, everybody. He's terrible.

Brad Barlow's too nice. Another guy that I would love to see. And he I know he has it in him to go off the rails, you know, but he he's smart. You know, he keeps that community image looking good. He's messaged me, like, compliments before, like, dude, you put out great content.

Appreciate you doing that. So I'm like No. He's a he's a great guy. He was one of the, you know, biggest, supporters as I got started in radio. Very encouraging and, super nice guy.

Still hits me up, fairly often. Always says nice things. I'm waiting for the day. I hate your guts. Something like that.

Hate your guts, fool. I'm not talking to you anymore. I heard you say I sucked on the radio, dude. What's your problem? I remember we said something about Dusty b and sure enough, there was people going up to him on Facebook and saying, hey.

By the way, those dudes on K Bear are talking trash. Yeah. And I I think did he get mad about it? I can't remember. No.

He kinda commented like, what? He was confused. Okay. Yeah. I mean, we'll talk trash on everybody.

I mean, Jade sucks. Josh and Chantelle suck. Katie Lee and Justin, we're talking about you too. No. Just playing.

Just playing, everybody. But, yeah, Shaggy, if I don't hear some crap talk soon, man, we're just gonna start unleashing on you just for fun. We're just picking on the guy who can't pick on us back. You think he's talking like the the PD over there? It's like, hey, I think he is the PD.

Is he? Yeah. I'll say he is the freedom. So he should be able to, talk some smack. When he was talking, one of the guys in the building just goes, those guys in Cambridge keep insulting me.

I can't I can't just keep sitting here and have them do that. I need to do that. Call it the pick. Pick it deep. If you're on vacation, you're out on the town, you come back to your hotel, and you smell something weird.

Run. Just run. Read a, creepy tale here of this woman who was traveling solo. She was in Japan and got back to her room getting ready to crash out for the night, but then she smelled something. She laid down in bed and was like, what is that?

So she looked under the bed and saw someone looking back at her. Yeah. There was a man under her bed. And then to make matters worse, you know, she ran out of a room, called for help. Hotel staff called the police, but they're like, sorry.

We're not gonna be able to figure out who it was. This hotel does not have any cameras anywhere whatsoever. So she moved to a different hotel in the middle of the night, but spent the rest of her trip just basically terrified. I mean, anytime an unexpected person just appears when you think you're alone. Well, okay.

Maybe I could think of a few situations where you'd be like, oh, okay. Cool. But for the most part, unexpected person just appears when you think you're alone. You're gonna have a bad time. Oh.

Yeah. I I think I'm gonna look under the bed at every hotel I go to moving forward. Who knows what kind of creeps under there? That's terrible. Anyway, enjoy your upcoming vacation.

Look under that bed. Look in the closet. Look in the tub. Look in the shower. Good luck.
