#0155 - A Virus in the Machine, A Treasure in the Mountains, and A Fart in the Wind - 02/13/2025
Hello, and, happy Thursday. Happy frigid Thursday. Alright. Well, I'm glad that the computer issues I'm having are happening today and not yesterday. It's still super annoying, but I don't know.
I don't know. I'm just gonna keep, doing IT work here to fix a stupid issue. I believe on this particular computer, somebody must have installed something they shouldn't have because, yeah, it looks like we've got potentially some kind of a virus going on. It's not like anything crazy, but, currently in the middle of a scan. Nothing like starting the day with a full fledged system scan.
Hopefully, it finds the problem and fixes it. Otherwise, I don't know. I'm gonna be I'm gonna be fighting this thing all morning. Why can't I have a nice relaxing day? Okay.
Sorry. You might be trying to get going for the day and you're like, jeez, dude. I got a bunch of stress now. Alright. I don't wanna hear about your problems.
It's early. Alright. Alright. Alright. That's fine.
I'll settle down. Stop talking about it. It's just so aggravating. All right. Well, what's going on here?
What's going on here? Weird facts that sound fake, but is actually true. You can't just accept this kind of information because you see it online. K? I'm gonna read through some of these, but I don't know if any of them are actually true.
You know, you gotta do a lot of, double checking with any kind of information nowadays. Talk about it all the time. You know, people share complete just garbage, complete misinformation relentlessly. So is it true that the Venus flytrap can only be found in limited areas on the border of North Carolina and South Carolina? I don't know.
I would assume that means in the wild because I've seen them at Winco. We'll just go ahead and, accept it as true. Alright. How about that the sound made by the Krakatoa volcanic eruption in 1883 was so loud, it ruptured eardrums of people 40 miles away, traveled around the world four times, and was clearly heard 3,000 miles away. It's like being in New York and hearing a sound from San Francisco.
Is that true? I don't know. It sounds good. You know? I mean, it wouldn't sound good to hear that sound and have your eardrums explode, but, you know, the factoid sounds pretty good.
Can you imagine what it would sound like if Yellowstone blew up? Yeah. We'd plot we'd probably have some, busted eardrums right here in East Idaho, though, you know, we're all gonna gonna die if that happens. Okay. Wait.
I was gonna try to be more positive here. Alright. This user says scientists discovered ants navigate by counting their steps. How did they figure that out? The ants whose legs were what?
What kind of a test is this? Says the ants whose legs were cut short stopped short of their goal. The ones they attached to stilts overshot their target. How do you hook up stilts to an ant? And also what alright.
We're gonna see if they can make it to where they're headed if we chop their legs short. Do we need to know how ants navigate? I mean, I'm sure it's interesting, but if you have to that's what they meant. Right? Hack their legs off?
Gee. Okay. Wait. That's not really cheery information. Sorry.
I'm just reading factoids here. Let's see. The US is only four presidents lifetimes old. Okay. So you got Biden who was born while Hoover was alive.
Hoover was born while Andrew Johnson was alive. Andrew Johnson was born while John Adams was alive, and John Adams signed the declaration of independence. Yeah. We're not a very old country at all. It's kinda crazy when you really think about it.
I mean, that kinda breaks it down right there. Four lifetimes back, we're at the declaration of independence. We're we're a baby country, aren't we? I I know people don't necessarily wanna hear that, but it's true. How long will we last?
I guess we just gotta wait and find out. I'm just failing at the, positivity thing this morning, but I'm staring at the scan that's running and finding nothing so far at 30%. I don't like that. I know we've got a problem. Okay.
Anyway, I'm gonna just keep fighting my computer. I appreciate you tuning in and hanging out today, and let's do some architects. My goodness. Fighting and not winning. What's up, everybody?
I'm afraid to log in to my email on this computer. I'm afraid to log in to anything. I don't know what's going on here, but, I certainly don't want, you know, my information stolen. What happened to this computer yesterday? It was working just fine until I left the studio.
Then all of a sudden what'd you do, peaches? What did you do to this computer? Anyway, I'm working on it. Okay. It's so distracting.
I'm so frazzled by it. I guess I could look at, eastidahonews.com. See what they got going on there. I don't have to log in to that website. Yeah.
You can just go there and check out the news. You can even, like, find yourself a pet looking at a whole bunch of different dogs looking for homes. I'm under the, pet of the week at features@eastIdahonews.com. There's, Chico. I don't know.
It's some kind of a white dog. I don't know my dog breeds. Let's see here. Terrier pit bull mix. Alright.
Yeah. You can go check out the video of, Chico. We've got the the dog smile going on. Mhmm. Lots of different stuff you can do at eastIdahonews.com.
You can find out about, local restaurants. Like, yesterday, talked about, you know, the eighteen. I guess it's a bar restaurant. I mean, they've got delicious food. Oh, look at this.
Homestead pizza and bowling offering gigantic burgers. Just what I need to see at, 06:45AM as I'm trying to eat better. Look at this gigantic burger, man. Come on. Why don't you come do some bowling and mow down a burger?
Or oh, their pizza looks good too. I haven't been bowling in a really long time. Maybe I'll have to go one of these days, and have a gigantic burger while I'm at it. They look good. They look pretty good.
You know, you don't really think of the, bowling alley as a place to go get some good food, but I think now I do. Look at that sandwich and those tots. Oh, alright. How's the, the old virus scan coming? Found nothing.
Great. 58%. Well, we've still got 42% to go. Hopefully, it'll find it and fix it. Otherwise, I don't know how I gotta start that really ripping this computer apart.
Anyway, I'm gonna I'm gonna attempt to dig up some content for the next break. Again, I feel bad for those of you who tune in during the first hour of the show sometimes. Oh. Either I'm a frazzled mess or things are broken. It's fantastic.
Oh well. And Jade's gone. You know, Jade's gone for the whole week so that's that's even better. You know? The one guy who when I give up and go, alright.
I can't fix this. One guy who might be able to figure it out, not here. So alright. I'm gonna keep, I almost said punching the computer, but I I don't want the bosses to think I was being, for real on that. Oh, the scan completed, and guess guess how much, or how many problems it found.
Zero point zero. Great. Great. Time to try something else. Okay.
I'll be back. It's the Victor Wilt Show. Good morning. Happy 07:00 hour. We're starting the show nice and fresh.
Computer issues fixed. And other than that, I guess I'm doing okay aside from it being just cold and miserable outside. And then I saw an article about impending snowstorm. Oh, great. Just what I wanna hear.
Gonna get, dumped on supposedly. You never know with the weather, man. Heavy snowstorm headed through Eastern Idaho Thursday and Friday. Totally lame. Winter storm warning in effect from 11AM today to 5PM tomorrow.
Looks like it should hit pretty much everywhere. It's it's also, like I said, frigid cold out this morning. So if you don't need to go anywhere, don't. As far as how much snow we're gonna get, I'm not really sure here. Maybe I don't want to know.
Oh, man. Well, yeah. I guess I shouldn't complain. I have a snowblower. Yeah.
Plenty of you just out there dealing with the shovel. Okay. Four to six inches. That what what they're guessing for Idaho Falls, about the same for Pocatello. You know, if you're up in the mountains, you might get pummeled a little bit more.
Yeah. I'm hoping for minimal, minimal snow. Tired of dealing with it. Alright. Let's check out, some rock news here.
Win a trip to London to see Lincoln Park and Spirit Box. I'm at the, Loudwire website. I could use a, trip to London. That'd be pretty cool. Oh, the link didn't work.
Okay. I guess, yeah. I shouldn't be promoting other people's contest, but I was like, oh, I'd love to get out of town. London's probably pretty miserable right now though, isn't it? I don't think it's known as a, nice weather destination pretty much ever.
So alright. Well, that that would still be cool. I'll I'll go just about anywhere right now just to get away from the upcoming snowstorm that I don't wanna deal with. Okay. Anything else happening in rock news?
Not not really. Not really. I saw that, there was a Super Bowl halftime show related post that I don't know is true, but it said that Kendrick Lamar traveled more yards during the halftime show than the Chiefs did the entire day. That's pretty funny. It's not really rock news, but it I I guess music news.
You know, we already did the rock and roll hall of fame yesterday, so pretty quiet in the rock world. I would imagine we'll be getting some new rock news soon, though. Band's gotta put out new music and things like that. You know, I've gotten to hear a few new songs recently that are coming soon that that I'm pretty excited about. You're just gonna have to wonder who they could be.
You know, there's a lot of bands that we play. And let's see. I know of at least I know of three no. Maybe four upcoming songs, and I thought they were all good. So I'm pretty stoked on it.
Who's it gonna be? Well, just stay tuned here. When we get new music, we play it that day. We'll hook it up. Alright.
Show has again officially begun now. First hour spent fighting my computer, but I'm a tech wizard. Got it fixed. What a waste of, waste of my time this morning. Well, if you're a long time listener to this program, you may know that for whatever reason, I find treasure hunting interesting.
Probably from being a fan of The Goonies when I was a kid. It it had to come from there. You know, imagine you're just kicking it on the Oregon Coast. I don't know. You rent an Airbnb.
You go up in the attic. You find an old map, leads you to treasure. I need money. That's what I need. The lotto doesn't seem to be cutting it.
Every once in a while, you know, pick up a a dollar ticket. Lose my $1. But, maybe I need to take a different route. Do a little bit of treasure hunting. Now, obviously, today, a bad day for it.
It's, you know, just freezing outside and we got a bunch of snow on the way. But there are a number of old legends about treasure in Idaho. So it it could be a fun adventure. You know? I mean, people have been looking these looking for these treasure stashes for, you know, potentially a couple hundred years and haven't found anything but I don't know.
Maybe you're bored and trying to figure out something to do when the weather gets nice. Looks like maybe you need to cruise out to the Salmon River area. That's where a whole bunch of different treasure is supposedly, you know, hidden away. And if you've been out to that area, I mean, you've got endless gold mines. You know, take a look at what they did to the Yankee Fork with the big dredge there.
Pulled a lot of gold out of some of those areas out there, and maybe some of it got stashed away. I mean, I've been in that area on a four wheeler just cruising through the mountains. You know, there's a lot of, like, old cabins and things like that that have been abandoned for probably a hundred plus years. It does seem like an area that potentially could be hiding some riches. Like the lost gold of the Nez Perce tribe.
Looks like they supposedly hid a large stash of gold somewhere along the Clearwater or Salmon Rivers, but it's never been found. Never been found. I mean, even right around here. Supposedly, somewhere along the Snake River, Spanish Explorers believed to have hidden a treasure of gold, jewels, and other valuables. Yeah.
I mean, to say somewhere along the Snake River doesn't really narrow it down. Might take you a while to really search that both sides of the bank throughout the entire state. Anyway, I'm I'm just trying to figure out a nice side hustle and maybe maybe treasure hunting is where I'm at. How about, treasure hidden near Lost Creek near the Salmon River? That's, you know, kind of narrowing it down a little bit more.
I mean, nobody's ever found it, but Shoshone Falls, supposed to be some treasure around there. No one knows where it is today. That's what what the article says. Well, no kidding. No kidding.
Alright. The Lost Mine of the Blackfoot River. Alright. This is gonna sound like a really stupid question, but where is the Blackfoot River? I would assume near Blackfoot.
I don't remember there being a river near Blackfoot. Blackfoot River, Idaho. I mean, it it it's gotta be oh, it's a tributary of the snake, So maybe that's why I was unaware about well, that narrows it down a little bit more. I just need some dough. I need some dough so I can fly somewhere nice and warm right now.
Find a big enough treasure haul. You might be able to, you know, just take work off permanently which would be pretty good. Well, anyway, I guess I'm gonna have to Google deeper or find some old books at the library. Yeah. Old Idaho history section.
Find some old treasure hunting book. Mhmm. Again, it might just be a good hobby if you're bored. And it's good to get out and walk. So yeah, get a little bit of exercise.
Alright. I guess we'll play more music. I've already given up on treasure hunting. Too cold. It's the Victor Will Chill.
Let's dive into this list from Forbes. The, you know, quintessential one stop shop for all of your rock information. Why is Forbes making a list of the best rock bands of all time? I guess to get people to go to their website like me. Let's check it out.
I like a good list and casting my judgment upon the opinions of those who make said lists. Who made this list? Quintin thing singer. Okay. Well, Quentin, let's see what you got.
Not listener, Quentin. This is, Quentin who works for Forbes. Alright. Top 30. We'll mow through it quick.
Aerosmith. Alright. It's fine to put them on a list of the best bands of all time. ZZ Top. Alright.
Sure. Tool at number 28. Alright. Not everybody has taste as good as me. Not everybody's gonna put Tool toward the top of a best rock bands of all time list.
But at least they're on there. Alright. If Tool wasn't on here, I would probably be pretty disappointed. So 28, it's kinda low but alright. We'll just keep moving at Oasis.
Oasis ahead of TOOL. Oasis is one of the most overrated bands of all time. Alright? Pretty much just a Beatles wannabe. And what do they got?
A few hit songs? Just a few? I just don't get the hype on Oasis. I've never understood it. Wonderwall, maybe it just got ruined for me by too many dudes busting out Wonderwall on an acoustic.
Like, if if you want to unimpress any other guitarist, bust out Wonderwall. And I don't think it's really gonna help you pick up chicks either playing it at a party. Alright? Always some dude back in the day playing Wonderwall at a party. Ugh.
KISS at twenty six, they're not better than TOOL, but I I guess I could imagine they're pretty popular being on the list. Okay. Radiohead at 25, super talented band. They deserve to be on the list. Journey, not surprised they're on the list.
Okay. Nirvana, twenty three. I would have thought Nirvana would end up higher on the list, but I guess they did only drop a few albums. So alright. You know, they changed the world, but, anyway, Cream?
I mean, Cream's a great band. I'm kinda surprised they show up on the best rock bands of all time list just because well, I mean, they I guess they do have a few few hits. You know, they had a few pretty big hits. Hart at 21. Alright.
G and r only showing up at number 20. Very curious where this list is gonna go. I have a feeling I'm gonna start getting, disappointed as we go on. Rage against the machine at 19. Cool.
Rush at 18. I mean, without rush, there'd be no tool. So I guess I can't judge. I mean, I'd put tool ahead of rush, but that's because I like tool better. Iron Maiden at number 17.
Alright. Alright. U two at sixteen. Well, I'm not a big fan of them, but they're pretty legendary. The Clash at fifteen, another, game changing group.
The Doors at fourteen, great band. The Who at thirteen, I like The Doors better, but I'm not too surprised to see The Who on the list. Sabbath, number 12. Alright. Can't have a list like this without Black Sabbath.
That's cool. Fleetwood Mac at eleven. ACDC at ten. Metallica at number nine. The Eagles at eight.
Van Halen at seven. Rolling Stones at six. Alright. I'm very happy that they didn't put the Rolling Stones at the top of the list. I mean, honestly, if the Beatles aren't at the top of the list, what kind of list is this?
Right? If you're gonna have a list of the best rock bands of all time, the Beatles should always be at number one whether or not you like them. Alright? I am a big fan. I'm a huge fan, but I don't know.
I never got into the Rolling Stones. They got a few good songs. Jimi Hendrix Experience at number five, Pink Floyd at number four, Queen at three, The Beatles at two. Who on earth could could you put ahead of The Beatles? They're gonna put Led Zeppelin, aren't they?
I bet they are because we haven't had them pop up on the list yet. And, yeah. The it is a Led Zeppelin at number one. I don't think Led Zeppelin should be number one on the list. Yes.
They put out some great songs, but they also had many, many lawsuits over stealing music from from other musicians. You know, some of those lawsuits ended up with them having to give songwriting credits to other artists, some did not, but still come on now. Come on. Can't put Led Zeppelin ahead of the Beatles. Get out of here.
Get out of here. Alright. Well, there's what Forbes thinks. Overall, pretty solid as far as the artists that were included on there. But, yeah, you you can't put anybody but the Beatles at number one.
Come on. Well, if you eat hot wings or any type of spicy food with your hands, you should always wash them afterward because you might end up giving yourself quite the scare like this radio DJ in Australia. He went on air, was telling his co co hosts and all of his listeners about how he thought he picked up an STD. You know, uncomfortable topic to just jump into on air. Hey, everybody.
I've got a burning sensation. Oh. Yeah. It turns out, he didn't wash his hands, you know, before he used the restroom after eating hot wings, and hot wings can be very spicy. Alright.
Get some of that hot sauce on your skin. Sensitive areas going to be, well, a little bit more sensitive to that kind of thing. I don't know if I would jump on air even if, you know, if you thought you had something like that going on. Hey, everybody. Guess what's happening today?
Here's what's going on in my life. I I don't know. I would assume he decided to do the bit after he figured out that it was from the hot wings, not before. And his co host going, didn't you eat hot wings, dude? I mean, I know it's been tough to find content lately on the radio because of all the political stuff.
But, you know, getting into your, you know, private health matters. I don't know. Alright. What else do we have going on here? Okay.
This one's kind of strange. This must be the best taco truck of all time. This was in Memphis, Tennessee. So this this is kind of sad. There was a shooting outside of the, Parkway Village.
I think it's a grocery store or a gas station. Anyway, there's a, food truck out there. And yeah, there was a a shooting. Somebody got killed and people were just stepping around the body to keep buying tacos. Like, I went to the one of the food trucks, one of the taco trucks in Saint Anthony with lieutenant Crane and his family, and they were, like, the bombest tacos I've ever had.
They were so good. But, you know, there was a dead body on the ground. I might lose my appetite even for those tacos that were I mean, they were great tacos. Sorry. I shouldn't laugh.
You know, there's a dead person involved in the story, but, you would think the line would have, you know, disappeared. Apparently not. Fantastic tacos at the, Parkway Village gas station in Memphis, Tennessee if you happen to be visiting that area soon. What else do we have here? Okay.
How can I work around this one? Everybody's got something that gets them excited And I found a map that shows, the most searched for terms for things that get people excited in every state. You know, it could be things like, tickling, wrestling, socks. Okay. Some of the other terms I'm not gonna get into here.
What do you think Idaho's most searched for term in this realm was? It was the same one in Virginia. What's wrong with you, Idaho? Bunch of weirdos. Fart.
Yeah. Fart. Is this because of yesterday when I was telling the story about the guy who makes, like, $20 a year with fart videos and all of a sudden everyone's like, fart videos? How do I get into this business? Yeah.
Only Idaho and Virginia looking into, farts. Again, y'all are weird. I mean, how often have I pushed the fart button on this show or talked about farts? I guess I'm contributing to the problem. Queens of the stone age on Khabare.
Morning and happy 08:00 hour. Hope your morning is going by quickly. Mine's moving at a a decent pace, but I I don't know. I feel kinda gross for some reason. Wonder if I ate something that, my body didn't like yesterday.
Anyway, too much info. I mean, all I said was I feel gross. Okay. Maybe it was because I was reading this article. Now, you know, every every place has their traditions.
This one just seems kind of, to me, like something I wouldn't wanna get involved with because I don't wanna pick up germs and get sick. Only time I tend to risk that kind of thing is going into a crowd at a show, which this is essentially that kind of thing. You got, about 8,000 people, 8,000 dudes in loincloths just fighting to get to the lucky man in the middle of this crowd. I guess there's a guy who is known as the lucky man and if you can make it through the crowd of thousands of people and touch him, you get good luck. So, yeah, these people are they're all just sweaty and packed in and everyone's surging toward the center.
It's like the the worst wall of death of all time. Yeah. I mean, if it brought you good luck. Okay. Cool.
But it just looks like a sweaty smelly mess that you're gonna pick up germs and get sick. But maybe not. Maybe that's how you cure the sickness. Luck is the opposite of sickness. Right?
I don't know. Anyway, they do this every year. If you wanna go check it out next year right around February 10. So alright. Hey.
Unique life experiences? Give you something to tell the grandkids about, I suppose. I was just reading that goth is back. Gen z picking up on all of the trends from when people my age were teenagers, apparently. You know, you got the baggy clothes getting to be popular again.
I mean, my kids took, like, half of my t shirts. You know? My, you know, daughters, I should point out, took about half of my t shirts. They dress like me. Well, they might be moving on to the, goth phase next because apparent I I don't know if it's because of the Wednesday TV show or what, but goth is apparently in.
So, you know, get your trench coats out. Get that, black fingernail polish. Gotta get that eyeliner going on. Hang on. Just walk around and pretend to be a vampire.
You know, I've always enjoyed the goth scene back in the day. Not quite as fun as the punk scene. A little more moody. But I mean who didn't have fun at a typo negative show. Right?
Mhmm. Exactly. So I'm all down with gen z bringing back these trends, but we did have the story the other day about the, skinny jeans coming back. So yet another trend from when I was young that, I don't know. I don't know if we need that one back around, but I'm not built for skinny jeans.
So maybe that's why I don't like them. It it if you saw me wearing skinny jeans, oh, it'd be so pathetic. Though, in the last year, most of my jeans are starting to become more like skinny jeans. I really need to start exercising. Police investigating a cat shaving spree.
Now, boy, there are some inappropriate jokes you could make about this. I'm not going to do so. This was in The UK. Yeah. Just a number of pet owners having their cats show up back home and somebody's shaved their cat.
It's, you know, it's rampant, this type of behavior, and that's not nice to do to kitties. You know, period. But it's really cold outside. I don't know what it's like in The UK, but that would be a terrible thing to do here. Alright?
It was like I don't know. My truck said one on the way here. Online, it said, like, minus 10. So bad day for the shaved cats outside. I mean, thankfully, they're not really harmed or anything.
They're just miss missing patches of fur, but who do who does this? Who does this? Hope they bust this person. Anyway, I just also saw that, back in was it 1970? Hold on here.
That's what I get for scrolling away from it. Anyway, on this day at some point in history, yeah, 1970, Black Sabbath released their debut album, Black Sabbath. So after the break, we're gonna play the song Black Sabbath in celebration of holy cow. Fifty five years? Wow.
Wow. And it's still good. Still good. So that's coming up next. So last week, peaches and I sampled a orange cream Coca Cola.
It I was not impressed with it. It barely I mean, just barely tasted like orange or cream. Just tasted pretty much like regular Coke. And I think a lot of companies have lost the spark for doing wacky things. You know, back when we were young, there were all kinds of weird products floating around.
Like I was just scrolling, Reddit, of course, and saw a picture of a bottle of crystal Pepsi. Some of you young people might not recall this product. It was Pepsi that was clear. Tasted like Pepsi, but I'm guessing because it just didn't have that, you know, dark brown look to it, people didn't like it. Kinda like the, well, the blue Pepsi, I think, had a berry flavor to it.
I remember there being a blue Pepsi as well. But I always thought the, crystal Pepsi was kind of fun just because, generally, a clear soda, it's always lemon lime. Boring. Not a huge fan of, seven up and Sprite. It's fine, but I don't know if I'd ever go just pick up a bottle.
Like, alright. I'm in the mood for a nice seven up. You know, what were some of the other weird items back in the day? Let's, bring up a list here, see what we can find, see if I remember any of these, if I tried them. Jones soda turkey and gravy.
Now Jones soda put out a bunch of weird sodas back in the day, but I did not ever try the turkey and gravy that supposedly tasted like a Thanksgiving dinner. I don't know. That that don't sound very great. Soda's supposed to be sweet. Peaches, did you ever try a Jones soda turkey and gravy?
No. I've tried the ranch dressing soda. Oh. No. No.
The bacon soda. That's what I tried. Not baking. Bacon. Yeah.
How was it? Did it taste like bacon? It tasted like very sweet bacon. I worked at a Pei Wei, the Asian diner at the time, and I was making all the chefs try it, and all of them were just, you know, gagging in the in the kitchen. It doesn't sound good.
Yeah. I was talking about how we tried the, the Coke orange cream last week. Not very impressive. But back in the day, there was there was all kinds of weird stuff floating around. Well, I heard you say that about Pepsi Blue.
It was real. I just found this list of, like, the 25 forgotten sodas. Yeah, dude. But we we had all kinds of weird stuff back in the day. What's whistle soda?
Let me see the Oh, it launched in 1919. Oh. Okay. That's why we don't remember it. Only jade would.
It's bold orange flavor and unique citrus blend quickly became a favorite. Okay. Well, it must not have been that much of a favorite. Oh, then I see surge at number three. Okay.
I remember surge. Surge was like, I mean, sorta like Mountain Dew, but I guess it was more like a Mellow Yellow and was supposed to have extra caffeine, kinda like Jolt Cola. We had Jolt Cola back in the day. Vault. Vault when they had it at Carl's Junior in the soda fountain.
I don't remember his vault. Energy drink. My parents gave it to me before wired. And I think I was too jittery, and then I just crashed right at the end of the game. Oh, I'm sure.
In my parents' car just asleep, I think. Oh, man. Tab. Now Tab's still around, ain't it? Launched in 1963.
It got discontinued in 2020. Oh, okay. All I remember with Tab is that it had a warning on the can that was like, warning, this might cause cancer in lab rats. And you're like, what? You don't see that on other sodas, but that's what Tab said.
Let me see if I could bring up the exact warning on the, Tabbeda, Tabbes. Sprite Remix? I think I did. I I seem to recall that being better than, regular Sprite. Well, this one looks pretty cool.
Josta. I don't remember Josta. I do like the, the imagery there. I remember the old the old Cherry Coke logo and I used to think that was an alcohol at the soda fountain. Oh, yeah?
Because it said cherry coke and, like, the hardcore lettering. It it did look pretty hard. I remember, picking those up. That was my go to at school, you know, because The can was cool. Because we had a soda machine and yeah.
One of my favorite forgotten sodas, cactus cooler. Cactus cooler. That's I hope that's still around. It still is. That's really good.
But most people, I don't think, really know about it. And it's funny that you I heard you say the the comments about Sprite and seven up and what what's it now called? The starry. It's Oh, yeah. You only really drink those when you're sick.
Yeah. Pretty much for whatever reason, either a ginger ale or Sprite. Right. My tummy hurts. Here, pound down a bunch of sugar.
It'll make you feel better. My dad loves those starries. I don't know why. Thinks they're great. Yeah.
It's just not my go to, lemon lime. Yeah. The tab can said, use of this product may be hazardous to your health. No. Wait.
That's that's a different can. What's Doctor Pepper Red Fusion? I don't remember red fusion. Oh, there's Volt right there. World's hardest working soda.
Shows a guy carrying a a steel beam with holding a Volt bottle. Maybe I did see those. The that image made it look more familiar. Yeah. There was, like, orbits.
Do you remember those? Or Yeah. Had the little, gelatinous balls floating around in it. Mhmm. I guess that moved on to, you know, what are all the kids into now?
Boba t. Boba t orbits walk so Boba could run. That giant orbits is basically Boba tea. Did you ever drink Slice? That looks familiar.
Is that another seven up type product? Or is it orange? There's different flavors. There's lemon lime, mandarin orange, pineapple, grape. It looks like blue raspberry.
I wonder who ever started the blue raspberry flavor because those aren't real. Yeah. I don't know. Somebody was like, alright. We've already got cherry soda.
Let's make a raspberry one, but we gotta make it unique. I'm looking this up. Let's make it blue. I'm intrigued by this now. Now are you sure blue raspberries aren't a thing?
No. Okay. Blue raspberry created. The Gold Medal company is credited with pioneering the blue raspberry flavor in the nineteen fifties. The flavor's popularity took off in the seventies with the introduction of blue raspberry ices and otter pops.
Yeah. This says that, you know, a red dye that was commonly used for raspberry flavored foods caused such a ruckus that they started using blue, so that the public would continue to buy raspberry products without being worried about the harmful red dye. Isn't that funny how it happens like that? Nah. Like, there's, like, these famous accidents, like potato chips were mistakenly invented.
Hey, you know? There's been a lot of good foods invented by, you know, people that don't know what they're doing in the kitchen. Yeah. Who invented the cheeseburger? I don't know, but I gotta thank them.
I gotta thank them. I'm looking this up now. I mean, cheeseburger. Mayer McCheese. No.
Who? Yeah. And why is it called a burger? Well, it's from Germany. Oh, yeah.
I guess in Hamburg. Hamburg, Germany. It's actually his real name, Lionel Clark Lionel Clark Sternberger, widely credited with inventing the cheeseburger in 1924 at his father's sandwich shop in Pasadena, California. Oh, so it doesn't have anything to do with, Germany. He well, they think that And he's he's German?
Yeah. I'm I'm guessing. Sternberger was 16 years old at the time. He put American cheese on a hamburger patty. He and his father liked the combination and called it a cheese hamburger.
Okay. Yeah. Cheeseburger's got a better ring to it than ham than cheese hamburger. But, Well, then who decided the bread and the onions and the tomato and the lettuce and sauce? You know?
All you really need for a burger is the cheese. Man, well, sauce. I was gonna say, don't need a bun? You just have a piece of meat with cheese on it? Sure.
I'll do it. You're that weird keto guy? That's right. I like protein and fats. Wrap it in lettuce for me.
No carbs for me even though they provide my body with energy. I don't want carbs. Man, this is the first time I can recall in a while that I said the word cheeseburger and wasn't like, I want a cheeseburger. I'm feeling kinda grody. Beat yourself.
You're way off. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's when you know it's off if a cheeseburger doesn't sound good. I ate a banana, but that did not help.
You're eating the same stuff every day. I feel like that's not good for you. You're eating a lot of carb stuff too. Oats. Some bread and oats.
Yeah. Is banana packed with carbs? Tons of carbs and banana. Alright. Well, I always thought they're supposed to be good for you.
But On potassium? Yeah. Getting some vitamins. K. It's fruit.
It's good for you. Yeah. Don't be like one of those people that says fruits full of sugar that's natural sugars. Natural sugars. Yeah.
You're telling me it's it's the same thing as, like, a Volt or, like, a Sprite, you know? Down a a Reese's. Yeah. I mean, they they keep, there was a whole essay I saw online about Reese's, about how they keep, like, adding on these different Reese's flavors, and they shouldn't because the classic Reese's is the best. I don't know.
I've had some of the newer Reese's in there. They might be better than classic Reese's. Oh, okay. Like the, the caramel Reese's or the, what do they call it? Like fudge, fudge cake explosion or something about that.
The lava one. Lava cake. I think they've run out of ideas with the one they added Reese's pieces on the inside. They're like, okay. Let's put more Reese's inside the Reese's.
The one I thought was weird was with the chips inside. Like, come on. They're they're trying to go for that, like, chocolate covered pretzel, the sweet and salty mixture. I see what they're trying to do. Had pretzel ones already.
Why potatoes inside of Reese's? I don't know. I mean, I love Reese's. I mean, the potato Reese's were still, like, not bad. No.
They're still good. Alright. Since we seem to be living in a broken simulation in the timeline where, you know, Biff Tannen gets the sports almanac as I saw online, figured we'd talk about the Mandela effect. We've talked about this before, but it's always kinda fun. Seems like every time I pull these up, I find new ones and they tend to be a little bit mind blowing.
You know, some of the most famous examples of the Mandela effect are, you know, people thinking in The Empire Strikes Back that Darth Vader says, Luke, I am your father when he just says, no. I am your father. Or like the Berenstain Bears, you know, how it was spelled. Everybody seems to remember it one way. You pick up one of the books and you're like, this can't be right.
I know. I know it was spelled differently. Well, let's see what others pop up here that we may or may not have heard of or seen before. Shaggy from Scooby Doo with a big Adam's apple. I guess a lot of people seem to remember Shaggy with a big Adam's apple.
That does sound familiar for some reason. I don't know why. But according to this article, no examples of this anywhere. Or let's see here. Cap'n Crunch versus Cap'n Crunch.
I guess it was never called Captain. It's always been Cap'n. Cap'n Crunch. That's kinda weird too. I mean, looking at the logo, it looks normal as Cap'n Crunch, but nobody call calls it Cap'n Crunch.
You know, it's Cap'n Crunch. Alright. What color is Snoopy's tail? Some will tell you it's black, but in reality, it's white with a small black spot on it. That one, I I don't know.
I don't know. Let's see here. Sinbad, never in a movie called Shazam. That's another one of the really famous examples. I will admit I seem to remember there being a movie called Shazam with Sinbad in it.
I don't know why. Maybe I've read too much about the Mandela effect, and it just kinda stuck in my head. Okay. Most of these, it seems like I've seen before, like the the Berenstain Bears, Looney Tunes, you know, being spelled t u n e s. They're not, you know, tunes like cartoons.
Curious George didn't have a tail. Febreeze only has one e, which would make it Febreze as far as I'm concerned. Fruit Loops, two O's. Okay. I was I was hoping I'd find something something new here, but doesn't look like, anything seems to have popped up recently.
You know, you got the fruit of the loom that a lot of people remember with a cornucopia behind it and they even have an image of it showing it and it looks like what I remember. I swear it was that way but apparently not just always been a pile of fruit. Alright. Okay. I noticed this one while watching Star Wars recently.
C-3PO has a silver leg. Go back and watch it. You might think I'm crazy. But no. It's it's true.
C three p o. One of his legs silver. Kinda weird. Alright. Well, dang it.
I was hoping for some, brand new examples but I don't seem to see any of those popping up. Yeah. Smokey Bear. He was never Smokey the Bear. Blah blah blah.
