Anyhow, that's coming up, so get those questions ready. It's our final day of ticket giveaways for the Hairball Show going down tomorrow night at the Mountain America Center. Listen for that hair spray and blow dryer sounder to be played, be caller number 15 and score tickets to the show. And then at 10 o'clock, peaches and I are going to announce our next big giveaway that we're doing with the advocates and that is going to officially start on Monday, but we'll give you the full scoop at 10. For now, it's got to remain a secret, but I'm sure you'll like it.
It's something we've done before. I'll just say that. So lots coming up on the show today. And of course, whatever dumb news I could find floating around.
So far this morning, just trying to get caffeinated. I bought a ghost energy drink and it's America Pop flavored and it's got a picture of like, you know, an Astro Pop, you know, those red, white and blue popsicles. And I guess they do kind of taste this way. But what I found interesting about this is it sort of, sort of tastes like cola, you know, like Pepsi or Coke. I don't know the color of the can and the popsicle image. It's not what I was expecting for the flavor, but it's fine.
It's fine. As long as it wakes me up and gets me all pumped and jacked to give you a good show today. We'll see how it goes. Let's take a look at the weather as well.
Weather brought to you by Sinclair Lubricans. Hard work is their heritage. Made American, made true. What do we have in store? Is the weatherman still as optimistic as he was earlier this week?
Let's find out. Is my internet running so slow? It was kind of cruddy on my way here. It was kind of cold. But today's going to be decent, looking at a high in the area of about 51. Another chilly night though, low of about 27. Don't see anything about any potential rain or anything like that. Yeah, just going to be kind of cloudy.
And then the weekend is going to be great. Yeah, we should get back up into the 60s and over the next few days. Well, high 60s. So next week should be in the high 50s. Should be pretty good. All right.
There's your weather and I'll be back in a minute. I swear I'm getting so old. I scrolled past somebody asking online, you know, what would you do if you had $500 million? And the first thing I thought right now was like, oh, I would first thing make sure I had a full week with nothing to do. And I would just sleep as much as humanly possible. Every day I'm sleeping in. And then, you know, I'd pay off all my bills and you'd probably never hear from me again. But that'd be the first thing a week of just laying in bed watching movies and just dozing off whenever I felt like it and just doing nothing but sleep.
Yeah. I would assume other people would have probably a little bit more exciting ideas of things to do with $500 million. Just nap time. Maybe rent an Airbnb that's like in the middle of nowhere. Now an Airbnb on some serious acreage where no one can bother me and it's just super quiet. And Becca and I just go take a week long nap. That's right.
A bed in. That's right. All right. Thankfully it's almost seven o'clock. I'm hoping this day goes by fast. I hope that every day goes by fast. But you know, where it's Friday, got a couple days off ahead.
Supposedly plans should be going to Salt Lake City. I'm just hoping it goes by quick. And then I just got to make sure to get some good rest tonight to be super charged for probably more activity than I want to be engaged in tomorrow. All right. So as we roll toward seven o'clock, I got more music and stuff. I'm going to get back to drinking this weird energy drink and trying to get pumped. My goodness.
Could we have a better news day than today? What is going on here? Nothing. Nothing I want to talk about anyway. Jeez, the news sucks. So anyway, what do we got going on locally? Pocotello A &W to close this week.
Dang it. Get yourself a burger ASAP. Always sad when a burger place goes down. Now, I think there's still an A &W in Blackfoot just off the freeway, but don't quote me on that.
Could be wrong. What other restaurants are opening up? I haven't looked at that East Idaho eats in a bit.
Blisters Barbecue. Hmm. Don't think I've heard about this. Let's take a look. I like some good barbecue. Oh, look at those loaded fries. Don't look pretty good.
This isn't a Rex bird. Yeah, I've been serving food in a new location just over a year. They were a food truck, but apparently it moved into Mother Hippards country store.
So, or no, that's where they were at one point, but anyway, they've got their own location. That sandwich looks pretty good. The barbecue looks pretty good too. Okay, well, you're looking for an excuse to roll into Rex bird. People in Idaho Falls are pokey.
Go check out blisters. Or if you're in Rex bird and you haven't, there you go. Well, at least you can rely on East Idaho News to let you know about like a new restaurant somewhere you can stuff your face, not just all the unpleasantries of the world.
I mean, they've got all that stuff on their website too, but all right. Well, I'm going to keep digging people. I'll be back. Oh, I just read about a really horrible way to go. Death by diarrhea. A lesser known virus that can cause fatal diarrhea raging in Northern California. It's called rotavirus. And it's like norovirus. Give you those horrible symptoms. You know, diarrhea and puke, fever, stomach pain, nausea, and then you die. Geez.
Doesn't look like a good time to take a trip to, well, San Francisco. Holy cow. It causes the most severe symptoms among children between, you know, three months and 35 months old. Extremely contagious as well. That's scary. That's scary. Yeah. So anyway, oh, it looks like they have a rotavirus vaccine.
So that's good. I had norovirus one time. I've talked about it numerous times on this show. One of the most miserable things I've ever gone through. I mean, if you've ever spent a whole week feeling like you're just going to puke every second, you know what I'm talking about? Oh, it was so bad.
So anyway, yeah, be careful if you're planning a trip to Northern California. Yikes. Wash your hands, people.
Wash your hands. We've got a major scandal, a major scam going down in Canada. This is unbelievable. Maple syrup scam.
Yeah. Bogus Maple Syrup found on grocery store shelves. I guess some journalist went and picked up a, I didn't even know he could buy maple syrup in a can like this.
It's like a soup can. But anyway, he bought some and he was like, hmm, this tastes a little bit off. It says pure maple syrup. So he sent it to a lab and they tested it and they're like, oh, this isn't pure maple syrup. No, this is at least 50% cane sugar. This is an outrage.
That's some not so pure maple syrup. I guess it's a problem. You know, you're getting ripped off.
I mean, I get it. Okay. The difference between fate syrup and pure maple syrup to me, it's pretty huge. Okay.
Like once you go pure maple syrup, you can't go back to the, you know, Mrs. Butterworths. All right. Stuff's just, it doesn't even compare. So yeah, if I bought a can maple syrup, I'd be, I'd be pissed too. I mean, how much maple syrup do you have to eat to buy it by the can? Because you know, normally around here, you see it in a bottle. And you can put it in the fridge.
Yeah. A can, you can't like, what are you going to put some press and seal on it? Because people are just slugging down maple syrup up in Canada. Well, it's delicious. So anyway, the company, you know, produced the cans, they're blaming somebody else, blaming the maple syrup suppliers like, nah, it's the guys with the trees, man.
They're cutting this stuff with sugar, man. It's a long article too. This is a big deal in Canada. This was from their like, their main news source, CBC.
Well, if you buy your maple syrup by the can, just be aware, might be, might be getting ripped off. Makes me want some waffles. All right. Are you hungry? Well, time to whip up some boy kibble. Sounds disgusting. It's a terrible name for this boy kibble, like dog food for, I guess, men. It's basically sloppy joes.
It's what it looks like to me. You just mix ground beef, rice, and then maybe throw in some vegetable or something like that. And, you know, it's a quick easy meal. Get yourself some, you know, rice and beef in your guts. But apparently it's a trend and it's called boy kibble. It looks good.
I just don't like the name. And you can make it pretty good for you. You can make boy kibble with ground turkey or chicken.
I don't know if you throw it at your kids. You guys want some kibble for dinner? Gross. Gross but good. Like I said, it looks delicious. Just a horrible name.
All right. AI robots starting to fight back against people. Well, we knew this was going to happen eventually. Two delivery robots crashing into two bus shelters in Chicago within a matter of days. Smashing them up. Look at all that broken glass. I guess they're investigating, trying to fix the robots. And serve robots said, we're aware of the incident.
No injuries reported. And we got people there to clean up the glass. We're sorry. We're sorry.
Just wait. They haven't started attacking people yet, but they've been busting people's fences up. You know, just like all the animals out there that are attacking people more and more, we're going to be dealing with this from robots. Keeping things interesting. Speaking of annoying animals, you ever been out to the coast and had like seagulls just suddenly flocking and try to steal your food?
Yeah. In some of these big touristy areas, like the California coast, the seagulls are not afraid of people. What you need to do apparently is put googly eyes on your food and that keeps the seagulls away. They did a big study on this. What are we going to do about the birds taking people's food?
Let's try googly eyes. And they said it worked pretty good. You a lot of the time kept the seagulls from swiping the food. So you might want to give it a shot next time you're dealing with that. Cause oh, it's so annoying. Where was I?
Somewhere near Monterey. And the seagulls were just out of control and birds are gross. And I don't know if these seagulls got some kind of disease or something.
It's like get away from me. Disgusting. Uh, the guy who eats Big Macs every day. He didn't say it was disgusting, but I guess he didn't like the new Big Archburger at McDonald's.
This guy's maniac, dude. He's been eating two Big Macs a day since May of 1972. He's eaten 36,000 Big Macs in his lifetime. He has the worst haircut I've ever seen. He's not fat.
You just wonder about these things, right? He's 72 years old. So, you know, he's made it to a pretty decent age.
He looks in decent shape. You would just think if you eat two Big Macs a day, you're dead quick, right? I mean, you're not supposed to eat a bunch of burgers all the time. Uh, I feel guilty often enough getting myself a cheeseburger. Did I have a cheeseburger last night? I think I did. They're good.
They're so good. Alright, we'll get into some more of this freak news throughout the program. Also, don't forget, coming up in about 45 minutes. Traffic school, powered by the Advocates' Injury Attorneys. If you're listening to this on demand, I post traffic school separately on a separate episode, so just keep that in mind if you're wanting to recap traffic school. But yeah, get your questions ready for Lieutenant Crain of the Idaho State Police.
Anything you want to know about the law, I'll get you some answers. That's coming up in about, again, 45 minutes. And we'll just keep rolling. Oh, you're not gonna bother me on Friday, are you? Of course I am.
I got more work for you. No! No, this is a federal statement of dog! No!
I say no! Well, you can't. You're the bottom of the barrel, stum! It all rolls downhill and you are downhill. Well, today I'm too busy, Jade. We've got the company Easter Egg Hunt going on, so I just can't do anything.
Speaker 2: I found an egg while sitting across from me.
Speaker 1: Uh, hey, wait a minute here! You're calling me egg-shaped, egg-like. You said it! Yeah, that's funny, because for some reason it made me think of the Humpty Dumpty, and I always like to point out to people, it's one of the darkest nursery rhymes of all time. It never says Humpty Dumpty's an egg. It's the guy who fell off a wall. Fat guy.
Probably. Egg-shaped fat guy. He fell and he broke so much they couldn't put him back together again. He was smashed up on the ground.
That's pretty brutal. Well, so you found an Easter Egg and you opened it and you told me what was in it. They all have the same thing. I think so. Okay, I have one sitting in my office that peaches found. Peaches like a little kid. He hears Easter Egg Hunt. Peaches! What eggs!
Speaker 2: He's been going wild and he found like three of them. Stars like one egg per person peaches, so he just told me where one was. I was like, okay, cool.
Speaker 1: Well, awesome. Easter's on Sunday, huh? Yeah.
Speaker 2: I forget about those things when you don't have kids in your house.
Speaker 1: And I should remember because I think we... You have kids in your house.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like... One sitting across from me. I think that the Easter Bunny needs to figure out some stuff today. It is what I think is to happen. Well, you got one egg. That's it, that's all you need, right? Just one egg. Well, Jade, what was I going to tell you about here?
I had a bunch of stupid tabs open. Oh, it's good to see that TV are getting the radio treatment. This WRTV... A bunch of layoffs. Yeah, right before they went on air.
Just fired the whole staff. This was it. That's when you just turn it on and walk away.
Say somebody else has never done it. Try and figure out how to put them back on air. Yeah, I thought that was only a radio thing. A lot of radio layoffs going on right now. I see such a terrible company, dude.
All of them are. And when you read through the articles about the people getting fired, they've all been at the job for like a year or something. Maybe two years. So they just barely learn how to do their job.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're just getting rolling. It takes a while to build up momentum for a radio show. You know, especially if it's a new show. You got to raise awareness, get people listening.
It takes time. And some of them had won like Marconi awards and things like that during their run. You know, getting good ratings. And they're just like, eh. Useful baggage. We need someone in here cheaper.
Speaker 2: I need a bigger bonus. That's right. And I get that by getting rid of scum at the bottom. You suck. You leave. You bum. Oh yeah. I guess it is the start of a new quarter in Friday. So maybe I better be quiet. You're way too good of a DJ. You bum. Get out.
Speaker 1: Well, earlier on the show, I talked about why you shouldn't visit Northern California right now. Got an outbreak of, I forget what it was called, rotavirus. You know, basically, you know, death by diarrhea. It's not a very pleasant way to go.
Plus the gas prices are just outrageous. Yeah. Not just here. These kids around here with their Easter egg hunt going on. They're exchanging all of them. They're exchanging them. Okay. Katie wants to be, uh. Grab the mic peaches. We can barely hear you. I'm stuck on people. Okay.
Speaker 2: Grab a, grab a mic, y'all. Katie was looking around for this black and pink one. And I saw it on top of a door, but the other tall guy in the building, Colby, apparently took it. And so Katie's been walking around here screaming at people saying she wants that egg. And I think she just got a bright purple one instead.
Speaker 1: Okay. I got the all black one and I'm keeping it. She wanted that one too. Well, that one's mine. That was almost to me.
Speaker 2: I knew that one was going to be a Victor egg. So I told him ahead of time. Because I didn't realize in the email, I don't think she even said in the email, you're only supposed to take one.
No, that wasn't mentioned. So I took three and then Starz screamed at me like, you're only supposed to have one. Like, you know, Easter egg hunt. I didn't think there was only one you get. Yeah. Yeah.
And in Easter egg hunt, you get all the eggs you can get. So I was nice enough to put the other ones back where they were. And I told Victor, hey, the black one is right here if you want it.
Speaker 1: And I grabbed it and I was like, okay, thanks.
Speaker 2: And that's why I got the golden one. You got the gold one. I'm the king of the building. Very nice.
Speaker 1: And there's one hidden in here.
Speaker 2: Well, this is a glow in the dark one that Jeff was like, hey, I need your height. That's why we walked in here
Speaker 1: because he wants to take that one instead of the one he has. Yeah, I'm going to re-hide this one. Or royal blue. Okay. Gotcha. Well, I was just going to let everybody know how much worse it could be with gas prices. I was looking at Northern California where there's an outbreak of rotavirus, death by diarrhea, as I was talking about when he walked in.
Speaker 2: Imagine dying from that, like if it was the late 1800s. Yeah, dude. Be terrible.
Speaker 1: You just find like you find your husband. I can't imagine dying from that right now. You just find your husband dead on the toilet. Oh, must have died from diarrhea. Yeah, people can die from it right now, like Jeff said. But yeah, I guess in the Big Sur area, there's a gas station that is powered by generators. So they're running gas to sell gas.
Oh, wow. And it's just kind of out in the middle of nowhere. And people stop just to get gas to hopefully get to the next gas station because they're just the only option. And the guys got gas right now for $9.99 per gallon, said he'd have it higher, but the pump, it doesn't go higher than that. Wow. That's the highest he can set it.
Speaker 2: Why is it up there? Maxed out. We're rage baiting in the life in Idaho Falls Facebook group by going like, at least we're not California with these gas prices and have like 835 or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty bad. California always sucks for gas. Yeah. Wonder what it's like in Washington where Maddy's at because it's always terrible too.
Speaker 2: He wants Gavin Newsom for president, Jeff.
Speaker 1: I don't want Gavin Newsom for president. I hope not. I won't get into who I would think would be best because it might make some listeners heads
Speaker 2: as long as you're not rooting for Gavin Newsom. That's okay.
Speaker 1: No, he's too much of one of those centrist guys. You know, I've had it with these gutless Democrats who don't do anything. I want some lunatics in. You know, if we got to deal with the extreme on the right, get some of the extreme from the left in. All right, let's have some mayhem because right now, you know, the Democrats just sit there and fart around and do nothing. They're gutless. You know, so we need some psychos in. All right. Somebody texted me.
Speaker 2: Psychos on both sides. Somebody texted me when Victor and I were talking about truck nuts and went like, wait, I'm not allowed to have truck nuts on my truck anymore. I'm like, no, dude, like they're outlawed here. He's like, I'm glad I didn't put one on. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a stupid accessory, but it is funny accessory. Well, it's illegal, Jeff, and you're going to get in serious trouble. What if you put them on a car? Then they're not on a truck, so they wouldn't be truck nuts. Well, it's still be displaying, you know, a fake piece of human anatomy. Fair enough. You know, so fake boobs, no good. Truck nuts, no good.
Speaker 2: What if you put like a specific like left foot?
Speaker 1: It's just hanging in the back of your car. No, I think it's got to be, you know, private parts. I'm pretty sure. Just that kind of stuff. I don't know about fake butts. Yeah. It's just funny. Maybe you had a big rubber butt you wanted to hang from the back of your truck.
Speaker 2: But what if there's like some killer out there that has like a real somebody's like left foot hanging from the back of their car? Oh, that's fine. Well, hopefully the guy with the rubber nuts.
Speaker 1: Hey, hopefully they'd notice a real foot that you never know. So yeah, Lieutenant Crane of the Idaho State Police will be in here in a few. We can discuss, you know, plastic butts and whatever.
Speaker 2: He's too short for the some of these eggs that are hidden out here. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, I couldn't get that one. I'd have to get a peaches. Yeah. That's what I did. All right. So Peach is going to snag this egg up for Jeff. We're going to hear some more music and then Lieutenant Crane should be here any minute. So hang on. Hey, what's up, everybody?
It's the Victor Wilde show. Friday. Definitely pumped about that. Hope you're doing good. All right.
I don't know where the tab went. There we go. This guy's a real piece of crap.
All right. He walks into a church in New York. Pours some mysterious drink in a baptismal font and then he steals a bunch of donations.
And I thought he did something else as well. Let's see. Oh, removed a cloth from the altar and then just took off on foot. I mean, cloth from the altar of a church. I don't know. It just doesn't seem like worth facing criminal charges over. But you know, the guy's obviously weird. Speaking of weird.
Speaker 2: What up, peaches? You seem like the kind of guy to steal the pennies from the fountain. What do you mean? Why would I do that? For good luck. I'm taking these kids wishes.
Speaker 1: Hey, now that they've gotten rid of pennies, man, gotta save all those pennies. They're going to be worth money.
Speaker 2: I know they'll be worth more than those burger coins that we talked about yesterday from In-N-Out.
Speaker 1: $100 burger coin on eBay. See, and then you cursed me, peaches, because you got me on eBay. It's one of those websites that I can't go to very often.
Speaker 2: You've been blaming me for a lot of things as of late. Your stomach problems that I knew would happen. Yep.
Speaker 1: You jinxed me and made my stomach.
Speaker 2: I didn't jinx you. Your stomach just sucks, dude. You have the worst immune system as well.
Speaker 1: Hey, I've been feeling pretty good aside from that day where my stomach issues were happening. But yeah, what was I blaming you for other than that a second ago?
Speaker 2: You're just blaming me for jinxing you because you went on to eBay.
Speaker 1: Yes. Yes. So I end up on eBay. And once I get on there sometimes, it just like sits back in the back of my head and like, you should see if there are any collectible books available for a good price on eBay.
Speaker 2: Yes, Stephen King, like his voice in the back of your head.
Speaker 1: Buy my books. And so last night, hanging out with Becca, she's watching the show.
Speaker 2: I spent $4,000 on a signed limited edition Stephen King book.
Speaker 1: Thankfully, I don't have that kind of dough.
Speaker 2: That's what you want people to think.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Now I've secretly got private jet and all that good kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: I mean, you were just talking about how the Idaho State Police is struggling. You know, I saw a whole article posted by East Idaho News.
Speaker 1: Well, that is because the Idaho State Government has defunded the police.
Speaker 2: Little did Lieutenant Crane know that the high rollers right here.
Speaker 1: I know. Keep it secret, Pete.
Speaker 2: You can be handing Lieutenant Crane money under the table. Just be like, hey, take this and don't pull me over.
Speaker 1: Now my watch list on eBay is all filled up with stuff because I sat there for probably an hour last night, pouring through listings on eBay while Becca was watching the show.
Speaker 2: Well, yesterday I did spend a little bit of money too. What did you buy for 20 bucks? I bought American truck simulator. And I'm driving from Flagstaff to Phoenix. I'm driving from Flagstaff to Indio, California. I have my headquarters in Flagstaff, Arizona. And I'm driving the truck. I accidentally I went a little bit over the speed limit. I got ticketed like 200 plus dollars.
Speaker 1: Oh, dang it.
Speaker 2: Stupid Arizona State Police. I couldn't hit the brakes in time, so I rear-ended the car. And the worst part about it is the ticket for speeding was worse than rear-ending the car. Oh, really? It's like, oh, minus $200. And I obliterated this little Prius. So then I was like, you know what?
Let's have some fun with this. This game auto saves. Auto auto like, you know, I can reload the last save if I wanted to. So I did that. I continued the drive. And my friend Eric, just like the Stephen King voice in the back of your head, my friend Eric was like, hey, why don't you go hit that cop? So this cop was pulling someone over. So I drove the semi. I was hawking the horn, pressing the H button. And I rammed the cop car right into a mountain. Right into a mountain. And it said minus $380.
Speaker 1: I have a feeling in real life the fine would be a little bit higher.
Speaker 2: And I want to be like my friend Hunter, who also has the game. He also has the Idaho DLC, where you can drive to Idaho Falls and actually has the perfect layout of the city.
Really? Like you go downtown on Broadway, everything. That's pretty cool. So everything in that game looks realistic. Like it looks like the actual cities themselves. I'm like, Flagstaff looks like a dump. I'm glad I didn't go to Northern Arizona. Like because that college accepts 98% of students. Yeah. My friends went there.
I'm like, this looks awful, dude. I want to go to like Phoenix or something. So I went to Phoenix. Doesn't necessarily have the giant crowd. It just has like the buildings and stuff. Yeah. Yeah.
I also drove to the Grand Canyon. But the whole game is just so fun. But my friend Hunter, he has the steering wheel. Oh. He has the full on pedals and everything.
Speaker 1: I've wanted to get that for, you know, GT7 on PlayStation VR. But where am I going to put it? And it's just too much money.
Speaker 2: He has the, oh, he said he bought it for around $200. I'm like, I'm not spending that much money on a fake steering wheel. Yeah. It's a little steep. I can only imagine going to a, going home after work every day. All right. Time to get in the driver's seat.
Time to do my truck driving job. Aubrey was with me last night. She's scrapbooking at her desk next to mine. And she's like, do you want a piece of cake? I'm like, I'm driving here.
Speaker 1: I'm on the clock. That's a distracted driving. No. And nobody else calling the advocates.
Speaker 2: Open the window. I want to feel the breeze. I'm going to roll down.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Giving you the chance to win money. Woohoo. I'll take it. You can't have it peaches. It's for the listeners. Giving the listeners money. The secret sound powered by the advocates. I'm abolishing the listeners.
