Hi, everybody. Okay, the show's officially going now that I have fixed what I needed to fix. Let's see here. Uh, th- throw some, uh, crap on in the background. There we go. Okay. All right, what was I looking at here to talk about with you? I was reading an article at eastidahonews.com about American Falls, pure excitement. American Falls, shout out to our American Falls listeners. Now, uh, somebody's putting together a website called the Atlas of Drowned Towns. I don't know if you're aware, but the original American Falls is under the reservoir. Yeah, sometimes when the water gets low you can see, you know, foundations from some of the old buildings and stuff. And the main thing you can see is the old grain silo, 'cause that's always sticking out of the water. But, uh, yeah, apparently there are thousands... Yeah, that's what it says, thousands of drowned towns across the US, uh, in the west. Mainly in the west, where, you know, they needed to build a dam so we could start trying to grow some plants, make the desert bloom. Uh, and the article says, "A phrase indicative of the mindset of the time." You know, I think now we've kinda learned that, uh, dams can cause some issues, but we'll get into that, it's a semi-political issue here. But reading through, they interviewed a guy who lived in American Falls at the time that they, you know, just- just drowned the town and he was like, "Yeah, it sucked." You know? They just put my home underwater. And, uh, I think he was, uh... if I read correctly, just renting at the time, so you know, he was just kinda screwed. You know, you see these things pop up around here from time to time. They, you know, wanna build a new road, make getting around town a little bit easier. 'Cause I don't know if you've been out and about recently, but it kinda sucks driving anywhere, you know, once people are awake. Even this morning, I got aggravated on my way to work 'cause, you know, I've been doing this show a long time, and when I first started doing the morning show, there would be nobody on the roads, at all, on my way here. So much traffic this morning, I hit every single red light, and that drives me nuts. Drives me crazy. Can you people start work later? I don't know, I guess it gives me more people to talk to at this time of day, but, uh, anyway. [laughs] Gotta stop saying anyway. It's gonna drive me nuts. [laughs] I don't care when Jade tells me not to do it, but when other people start noticing... Ugh. Okay. So yeah, you know, can you imagine not something like a road being built and they maybe have to encroach on your property a little bit, perhaps force you to move, but they just drown the entire town, just put it underwater? You know, there goes your home. Eh, we sunk it. We had to. Sorry. I can only imagine the, uh, Life in Idaho Falls Facebook group, or Life in Pocatello, the endless, "How dare they?" Eh, it's gonna happen eventually with this road situation. It- it can only go on for so long. Again, when people can't get anywhere, they're gonna have to do something around here. By the way, uh, ITD, please get on expanding the freeway between Blackfoot and Idaho Falls to three lanes. That would be fantastic. I know they're doing it between Blackfoot and Pokey, but come on. Come on. Anyway, I'm gonna bail on this break. Stop saying anyway. Now somebody's calling right now? It's time for me to talk.
See who it is.
All right, K-Bear, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this?
This is Jim.
Jim, what's on your mind, dude?
Well, I just got in my truck, turned on... turned it on, and it says, "K-Bear, call now." [laughs]
Oh, yeah, uh, if you feel like it, you can, and you did. Uh, not, you know, doing any giveaways or anything right now. It just, uh, encourages you to call, so...
I gotcha.
All right.
All right, brother.
Hey.
But what was this all for then?
Uh,
n- no, I think it just, uh... s- you know, it's the message there in case you need our phone number or something like that. [laughs]
All right, brother, man.
Yeah, I'd have to go back through what we call the RDS.
Oh, okay. [laughs]
That's the thing that, uh, pops up the messages and see what it says. I don't know, it's been a while since I monkeyed with it, so...
All right, brother. So you're not gonna put this on the air then, are you?
You're live on air right now. [laughs]
Oh, boy. All right. [laughs]
[laughs] Hey, thanks, Jim.
All right, man, you have a good morning, my friend.
You too, man. Peace.
All right, brother. Bye-bye.
Yes. If you call when I'm yapping, on air you go. Okay, let's see here. What was I gonna talk about? [laughs] I don't even remember. Oh, I was looking at a list of movies that people say are 10 out of 10 but you'll never watch again. The first one that came to mind for me was, uh, even though I wanna watch it again and I've watched it multiple times, uh, Requiem for a Dream. It's a masterpiece, but I tried to watch it a few months ago. I made it about, I don't know, three minutes, and I was like, "Oh, I can't- I can't do this right now." Again, a masterpiece of a movie, but it's dark. It's bleak, it's depressing. You feel dirty by the end of it. So good though. Maybe I'll have to try to give it another- another shot. Uh, these folks are saying Saving Private Ryan. Now-
[rock music] I've seen that movie, but it's been so long that I just don't remember much ab- about it, or the emotional impact it had when I viewed it. But I know it's one of the most brutal war movies of all time, so maybe need to give it another go. This is, like, basically a list... Hey, do you wanna watch something depressing? Let's talk about depressing movies. All right, next on the list, The Green Mile. All right, pretty depressing movie. Fantastic Stephen King story and a, a pretty good adaptation for a longer Stephen King book. Usually if they're more than, you know, 100 pages, they butcher it, but they did a pretty good job with The Green Mile. But I, I'd watch that again, and I think I would call it a 10 out of 10 movie, for sure. And it's been years. Maybe I need to fire that one up. All right, what else do we have? What Dreams May Come. Okay. That movie I've seen one time, and I know it was very depressing. I actually picked up the book at a, uh, bookstore in Washington couple years ago. But I remember the movie being so bleak. I was like, "Yeah, I'm not gonna read that book." [laughs] Probably should one of these days. Grave of the Fireflies. Never seen that. I don't know anything about it. Uh, people saying, "I've tried to rewatch it. Can't get past the opening scene. Best movie I will never, ever watch again. That movie took something from me and it was absolutely a 10 out of 10." Grave of the Fireflies. What's this ab- I mean, I, I don't like to know what movies are about when it, you know, I'm about to watch 'em. Okay. "It looks like a Studio Ghibli film or something." Just looking at the, you know, images from it, huh, well. "Hey, you want something fun to watch with your kids? Well, it's got 100% on Rotten Tomatoes." Is it Studio Ghibli? It's gotta be just looking at the animation style. Huh. All right. Well, might have to check that out sometime. What else we got here? I do enjoy depressing movies. I really like 'em,
but man, they, they can be just rough on you.
Atonement. All right, I have not seen that movie either. Not familiar with it. Uncut Gems, "The movie gave me so much stress." I'd watch that again. And it is a stressful movie to watch. Recently watched a fairly stressful movie with my girlfriend called Together. Uh, I talked about it on air. I don't know if it was this week or last week, but a, uh, pretty stressful horror movie though I thought it was really good. I don't know if I'd give it 10 out of 10. I'd give it a pretty high score though. It was really good. Very stressful though. Uncut Gems, Adam Sandler movie and it's a serious movie.
"The other guy..." Uh, all right, I don't want to give away any spoilers on it, but it's frustrating to watch. [laughs] It's, it's, it's good. It's a really good movie. Uh, re- Oh, there's somebody mentioned Requiem for a Dream. "Fantastic score and impactful story. Depressing AF though." Uh, "That movie traumatized me as a kid." That's what, uh, people are commenting here. Already talked about this. What? All right, this person says, "In high school, one of my history teachers had us watch this movie. No clue why, as it has nothing to do with history. Great movie, but yeah, I can't bring myself to watch again." I would think if you as a high school teacher
had... Uh, you couldn't show that movie in class. No way. Like, and even asking your students to watch it at home, there are some very, uh,
inappropriate scenes in that movie. [laughs] I would think that if you did that, you would get fired if you had your students watch that movie. There would have to be at least half of the parents that would have a complete meltdown.
But that is so... I mean, it might keep kids from using drugs. Maybe that's what the teacher was trying to do. "Hey, I'm here to warn you about the dangers of heroin. Watch this movie." Definitely make you not wanna do heroin, that's for sure. Schindler's List, yeah, that's a dark movie. I haven't seen that for a long time. All right, Manchester by the Sea. Never heard of it. Dear Zachary, I don't know if I've seen that. Bridge to Terabithia. You know, I've, I've heard that one's pretty dark. I, I think Peaches has brought that up as being a pretty, uh, messed up movie. Clockwork Orange. Yeah, th- that movie's darker the, the older you get, I think. And it... I, I'd watch it again though. I actually saw it in a theater one time. It was wild. All right. Ugh, just reading through some of these, I'm like, "Oh yeah, that reminds me of a bunch of depressing crap." So I should probably move along.
Man, I'm kind of bummed out right now. Not only because I'm just tired, just want to take a nap, but 'cause I got a text message from my daughter last night telling me how awesome the Nine Inch Nails show in Phoenix was.
Really wanted to go see Nine Inch Nails on this tour, but it just didn't work out. And I couldn't go to Salt Lake,
couldn't go to Seattle even though we were close, you know, as far as the date went when we were in Washington. And just when it comes to time off and money, couldn't go to Phoenix. She said it might be the best concert she's ever been to. Her favorite's probably still the first Ghost show I took her to. Took her and her sister to see 'em in Vegas and it was a Ghost headlining show on the Perkel tour.
[Rock music playing]
... and they did, you know, two sets basically, no opener. It was freaking awesome, for sure. But as I was scrolling the internet, being bummed about missing Nine Inch Nails,
saw somebody post [laughs] about... I, I don't know which show this was [laughs], but I guess somebody had some gas and somebody took to the Nine Inch Nails subreddit to post about it. I'm gonna do my best to work through this, uh, and clean up the language, but it's a really funny post. [laughs] "I wanna start by saying I understand we all fart. It's natural and normally not an issue, but these were next level abominations in an area you just can't walk away from. I can fully forgive the first one, but you don't know how bad a fart's going to be. I shouldn't have to taste it four times over the course of a concert. If you know the first one was as bad as it was, why would you subject everyone else around you to that? We literally had to spray our hands with hand sanitizer to breathe through it without gagging. Whoever you are, you disgust me and I hope you ended up, uh," [laughs] having an accident, not... They didn't say like a car accident, a different kind of accident, "on the way home. May God have mercy on your soul and your bowels. Reminded me of a really funny story about my friend, Nick. We went to," [laughs] um, we, we'll just say Little People Wrestling at the Knitting Factory in Boise, and, um... [instrumental music playing] I bet Nick had a fart just as bad as the one this person described in the Nine Inch Nails subreddit. "This was one of the funniest things I've ever seen at a show. We're hanging out on the floor in the crowd and Nick just rips this horrible, toxic," [laughs] like vile, "fart." And you could basically see the fart. You know, you, you might be like, "What are you talking about? Farts are invisible." Well, this one, you could watch it travel through the crowd 'cause you could see when it hit people in the face [laughs] of the absolute disgust. And we just sat there laughing so hard watching this invisible cloud travel through the crowd [laughs]. It was bad, you know? But it was so funny that I didn't care that it was that disgusting. Um, you know, maybe you got stomach issues. I don't know. [laughs] But I do think if i- if it's this bad, if it's, you know, multiple times, you should probably go out to the, the lobby or hallway or something. Try to not torture everybody, you know, surrounding you at a concert. It's not nice. [laughs] [rock music playing] Yo, be careful what you post on social media. Could prevent you from getting a job. Yeah.
Something to think about if you're on the job hunt. Prospective employers do tend to look at people's social media pages, see what, you know, they're up to, kinda maniac you might be dealing with. And I just read one little, uh, post online about somebody who didn't get a job, and I'm like, "Oh, jeez. I probably have this kind of content on my social media pages, violent content." All right, here's the post.
"So basically, I was in the middle of a process to get hired, already did an interview and was waiting for a call back, and eventually they did, but nobody could tell me what they were going to tell me. The human resources girl basically told me they couldn't continue the process with me because they were worried that they found violent photos and videos on one of my profiles. I was confused and I asked, 'What profile?', since all my social media is private, and of course I'm not uploading graphic or violent content, not even memes that could be misinterpreted." You know, if you've ever looked at... Sorry, I'm jumping out of their story here, but if you've ever looked at my social media, pretty clean. Pretty clean. Anyhow, back to the post here. "The girl told me it was a profile about a video game, and images and videos appeared where old people and animals, you know, were attacked among other things. My jaw dropped. Yeah, it was true that I played Red Dead Redemption online and there are photos and videos of my character and other friends doing those things in my account. It's a rock star game about outlaws. Of course you are going to rob, go hunting, or do violent things. Um, also in the videos, my friends and I weren't even saying bad things. They were tutorial type videos on how to rob trains or hunt difficult animals." [laughs] "What blows my mind is how they managed to find that six-year-old account I had back in the day. Not even my full name is in there." Yeah, you never know what they're gonna dig up on you online.
How, how many people do you see get in trouble for things they posted 20 years ago? Stuff like that. Just a reminder to maybe clean up your social media page, 'cause you never know. You might have a dream job opportunity come your way. They're scrolling through and, yeah, find some dumb photo that you and your friends did back in the day where you're being a little bit inappropriate or something. Next thing you know, [imitates electric shock] oh, I'd be so mad if, uh, Red Dead got me fired. "We saw violent content on your page." Like, bro. [laughs] That was Arthur Morgan. That wasn't me. [rock music playing] All right. People might have a number of complaints, you know, about the US and laws here from time to time, but at least we don't have to worry about...... witchcraft laws, right? You can get as wacky as you want, casting spells. I don't think you're gonna go to jail for it. If you're worried about that kind of thing, don't move to Zambia. Uh, couple guys just got s- uh, sentenced to two years in prison for supposedly attempting to use witchcraft to kill the president of the country. They had charms in their possession, including a live chameleon. Um,
as far as I'm concerned, cast spells all day, all right? I'm, I'm not too worried about that one [laughs] myself. But that's me. Some people take these matters a lot more seriously. I've personally talked to people who would, uh, probably be worried about that kind of thing, but yeah. At least we... You're gonna, you're not gonna get sent to jail for that one here, I d- I don't think. I don't know, with the way things are changing, maybe. Maybe that's coming our way soon enough. You know, it'd be like tho- those movies where, even think about doing anything, to jail with ya, right? Th- this one I'm surprised isn't getting people thrown in jail. A apparent TikTok trend where you go into a public restroom, and instead of going to the bathroom where you need to,
you just go on, like, the, uh, counter or things like that. Um, if you're sharing videos of yourself doing that, is that not some kind of a crime? And what a weird and, you know, gross TikTok trend, right? I don't know. [laughs] I guess it's better than ding-dong ditch in this day and age, something that might get you killed, but
still. Uh, they had to shut down, like, every restroom at a high school in Missouri, uh, due to this being such a problem there. Yeah, you know, think about the janitor people, okay? Somebody's gotta clean up your mess. Don't be nasty, y'all. It's gross. Quit being disgusting. And if you're planning on taking a trip to Seattle, well, beware. Owls are fighting back. Love it.
Love it. Owls attacking people [laughs] at parks in Seattle, so they had to send out warnings that owls are dive bombing people. And I guess it's becoming much more common as the days become shorter. Yeah, if you're out and about having an early morning stroll or an evening stroll, if you hear hooting, you need to cover your head and move calmly, or just bring an umbrella with you. And if an owl swoops near you, wave your arms and leave the area right away [laughs]. They even have a place where you can report owl encounters. Um, this must be a major problem there. Ugh. Can you imagine, you're just trying to have a nice little walk and next thing you know, an owl is just a- attacking your face?
Again, I, I'm down for the animals fighting back. Talked about that a number of times yesterday. But I'd, I'd be annoyed by that. You know, birds kind of give me the creeps. I know, I know. T- that might be weird, but whatever. I can be how I wanna be, all right? Don't judge me. [laughs]
Okay. All right, I'm gonna attempt to dig up more freak news. Kind of a light news day so far, but I'm sure we'll find other crap to talk about to get us through this day. Day needs to move a little bit quicker though. It's always those days when all I wanna do is just sleep, that the day just drags on and on and on. So, hopefully it's not one of those days for you. Hopefully it goes quick, is productive and good.
[rock music]
I hope you're not having a lonely day. Oh man, good morning and welcome to the Victor World show. Just a little after 8:00, which is good. Show's moving along, morning's moving along. You know, if you're concerned about alligators, why would you live in Florida? This woman was complaining in the news
about there being too many alligators in Lake Kissimmee. She's like, "You know, we've had people get attacked multiple times, killed by gators, and this is just wrong." Uh, that's where they live, okay? [laughs] That's Florida. Why on Earth would you get in a kayak
on a lake in Florida? You know? Why? You're asking to be attacked. Yeah, uh, multiple people attacked. Three in two months at, uh, Lake Kissimmee State Park. Uh, one had an alligator grab someone's paddle and pull 'em out of their kayak. And then they, you know, can you imagine getting straight up attacked by a gator? They do that barrel roll thing. Oh, it'd be awful. Yeah. I think one person even got killed, yeah.
Just don't go out in a boat. You know, don't live in Florida, all right? [laughs] I don't know. You know how I feel about going into natural waters. Once I heard that there were rattlesnakes swimming around in lakes around here and such, I was like, "Okay, no. No. I'm out, okay?" It's not the fish you gotta worry about or the bear lake monster. Rattlesnakes, all right? You don't wanna get bit by a rattlesnake while you're just trying to cool off on a hot summer day. Ugh, snakes swim. Ugh, it's frightening. But, I think I'd still take snakes over gators. Rattlesnake ain't gonna rip you out of a kayak by grabbing the oar, are they? No.
Ugh, Florida, I tell you.
[rock music] So as you probably know if you listen often, I enjoy video games. Don't, you know, get to play as often as I'd like, but there's a lot going on. You know, got to get the house cleaned up. Nothing worse than looking around going, "Oh, there's a lot to do around here," and then you're just slacking. Start getting mad at yourself and you can't enjoy your video game time. There are some weird video games out there. Peaches walked in a little bit ago and was like, "Yeah, I played this game, Keep Digging, all night." I'm like, "I've, I've never heard of it. What's Keep Digging?" And he's like, "Well, you dig." So we pulled up a video on YouTube. It's called Digging Until We Can't Dig Anymore, Keep Digging Gameplay. And that's the game. You dig. You get a shovel, go out to the grass, and you start digging. And you just dig and dig, and then you, like, find rocks and stuff. It's, I- I don't know, kind of like, uh, kind of like Minecraft but, uh, without the old school style video game graphics, and all you do is dig. You don't build, you just dig. And it actually looks fun. Eh, it sounds like the dumbest game ever, but it, it looks kind of fun. But, I don't know. A lot of people really enjoy the, uh, you know, power wash simulator game. I tried that one time, I'm like, "I don't dig this." [laughs] Um,
yeah, it's a game where you just power wash, like, cars or sidewalks or whatever, and you just spray stuff till it's clean. And people love it. They love that game. I don't know, I gave it a shot. Didn't work out for me. But I've got kind of high standards when it comes to gaming. You know me, nothing but Red Dead 2 all the time. I do need to try a new game. We recently bought the latest God of War game and fired it up one day, I don't know, weeks ago. Gonna have to start that one over soon. It, it was, like, really cool, but, uh, you know what it's like when you stop playing for a few weeks. Let's go to the phones here. [phone ringing] Oh, they hung up. Too slow on the draw, I guess. Thought they wanted to talk about maybe games with a stupid concept that are fun, like Keep Digging. [laughs] So if you have any dumb game recommendations, I can always use them, even though I'll probably not get around to playing them anytime soon. [rock music] So I somehow ended up on this website called iwastesomuchtime.com, and it's got this article called Movies That Are Considered To Be Almost Flawless, and I'm like, "Okay, this might be a good list of movies." And I start scrolling through it here, and, you know, it starts off like you would think, any typical list, and I'm like, "All right, how many movies are they gonna have on here? What, maybe, maybe 10?" You know, you're scrolling through, you got Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which is a movie I've watched one time. It was so depressing and sad that I haven't been able to fire that one up again. Maybe I'll have to do so one of these days, but, eh, I don't know. Keep going. The Grand Budapest Hotel, haven't seen that. Then they name Jaws, you know, the classic shark movie. Unforgiven with Clint Eastwood, a, a great western. There Will Be Blood, which is fantastic. Such a good movie. I've seen that a number of times, it's great every single time. Pretty dark, but still just really good. Then, you know, they go into John Wick. All right, for an action movie, pretty flawless. You Were Never Really Here, a movie I haven't seen, and then I just kept going. I'm like, "All right, uh, what are they gonna have next?" The Witch, which I think is a fantastic movie. My girlfriend disagrees. I think I need to make her watch it again. Think she needs to see it again, 'cause it's, it's awesome. It's so good. Uh, then they got Manchester by the Sea, Mulholland Drive, which that movie does rule. They say it was named the greatest film of the 21st century. Yeah, I mean, a movie I don't think is for everybody, because by the end you're just gonna be like, "What, what happened? What is this?" So I kept scrolling, and I noticed the page just keeps, you know, jumping up and adding more and more. I think that this is just a list of good movies that goes on and on and on. It, it never stops. I've been sitting here scrolling, trying to find the bottom. Like, when, when is the article gonna end? But it just keeps adding more, more and more and more. So I guess if you want an endless list of movies that probably don't really suck, you can go ahead and go to iwastesomuchtime.com
and just scroll your life away. I wonder what else is on this website. There might be some good content for the show, you know? [laughs] I don't know if me talking about scrolling and scrolling and scrolling is good content, but, I don't know, they got stuff on here. "Do you like wasting time on the internet?" At least it's not a social media page. From what I can see, you don't have to get anybody's opinion on anything, or anybody's stupid thoughts. Ah.
All right, we got somebody calling. They're gonna end up live on air. Let's see what they want. [phone ringing] Oh, yeah, you heard me coming, didn't you? Ha! Anyway, I'll be back. [rock music] Told JD I'd play him that song, I don't know, about an hour and a half ago. Sorry, buddy, it happens sometimes. I'm forgetful, you know? But then Journey, Separate Ways popped up, the song JD specifically requested that I don't play, and I was like, "Oh, yeah, I was gonna play that AC/DC." [laughs] Sorry. Again, it happens.
[laughs] All right, there was a drunk Florida woman who got arrested trying to order a Baconator at Popeye's Chicken. Yeah, I, I guess they just arrested her for being hammered and she wasn't even driving. She was just on foot. But pulls up and she's like, "Hey, you guys got my order wrong." And then it's funny, the article even got it wrong, 'cause they're like, you know, she's trying to get a Baconator, which is a staple at Burger King.
Wendy's, bruh. Wendy's. So the woman gave the guy at the drive-through window a fist bump and, I mean, she's hammered. You can watch the video. She is hammered. And, uh, I guess, did they arrest her 'cause she just wouldn't leave the window? Anyway, the cops show up and, you know, they, they take her away. I would assume just public intoxication. Hmm. Anyway, oh, there I go again with the anyway. Ah!
Baconator sounded kinda good. It's a top quality burger. It really is, for fast food. If you haven't had one in a while, get yourself a Baconator. Ah, they don't deserve a free plug. Shame. [heavy metal music] Falling in reverse. Bad guy. Oh, speaking of bad guys or, well, just guys that are turds, I was looking at the Am I the Jerk subreddit, and we've got a post saying, "I told my friend why I don't wanna date him and our friends are saying I broke him. Am I the jerk?" All right, let's get into this post. So, "My 21 female friend of 10 years..." Or okay, she's saying she's 21 female. "My friend of 10 years, Mark," not real name, "called me yesterday to meet him for lunch and that he had something too important," or, "something important to discuss with me. I had free time, so I agreed. I met him and joined him. We had lunch, then talked a bit about random things. Then he cleared his throat and started speaking. He first told me he didn't understand why I was dating my now boyfriend when he's a much better match for me. I asked him to explain and he went on about how he liked me first, he met me first. He's all good-looking, knows me better. He's taller and more successful, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So he told me he doesn't understand how I can be with him when he's always been around waiting for me. I was out of words, asked him if he wanted me to be honest. So I said," or, "He said, 'Yes,' and told him, 'Well, he treats women like crap.'" [laughs] And then the guy, he- he's all quiet and he gets up and leaves. So this girl, she goes home, just goes about her day, and later on, a bunch of friends start calling her like, "What did you do to Mark? He's been a wreck since he met you for lunch. He's, you know, just drinking and won't tell anyone what happened." And so she explains what happened and they're like, "That was really harsh. You broke him." Um, what a cry baby. What a cry baby. Listen, nobody is obligated to date you, all right? "I knew you first." Like, just shut up and get over it, dude. Move on with your life. Yeah, um,
you're not gonna be able to pick up a girl by rolling in and just start, uh, trashing her current boyfriend, okay? She's made the decision to be in that spot.
So it just makes you look even more terrible 'cause you're questioning her judgment to begin with, and then to act like just a cry baby. [fake crying] Oh, geez. Just checking out the Am I the Jerk subreddit a little bit, Peaches. I had another one I was gonna get into your- into here and I was gonna see your opinion on this-
Okay.
... since you happened to walk in. Some guy went to a hot pepper eating competition.
Bad enough already.
That's, whoo, brutal. And he's asking if he, uh, is a jerk for cheating at the competition. I was like, "Well, what did he do?" Um, he has a high tolerance for spicy things and people accused him of cheating.
That's not, that's not cheating.
No.
That's just, uh, genetically enhanced.
Yeah, or you've built up a tolerance. Like, you know, I used to be much more sensitive to really spicy things prior to us eating, like, pickled Carolina Reapers and the death chips-
It's like have-
... and all that horrible stuff
... It's like having a slam dunk contest, right? And you have you versus a guy who's seven foot, who's-
Yeah, why don't you let the normal people win?
[laughs] Yeah.
Oh, man.
I mean, there's still Spud Webb who was five foot eight and could dunk the ball, but he's just a freak athlete.
Yeah. It- it's a- it just amazes me how many people in these Am I the Jerk things are just dealing with a bunch of cry babies, you know?
Did you see the whole, uh, cheating scandal with the, the stone throwing competition?
No.
Yeah, all the... They're making the stones too circular, and so when they throw them, they bounce better.
So what, you bring your own rocks?
No, they're like, uh, they're modifying the ones they... Oh, actually yeah, you do bring your own rocks.
You bring your own rocks.
It has to follow the, uh, the, what they call the circular measurement- measuring thing. I forgot exactly the name for it, but-
Okay
... it has to fit into that circular measuring thing and be like three inches in diameter.
Okay. Well, if you can bring your own rocks,
change the rules then. Hey, we've got a box full of rocks and you just get a random rock, you know?
I thought it was cool. There's like 2,200 people that all go to like this, uh, this island in the middle of Europe, and sure enough-
Huh.
Close to Europe, not in the middle of Europe, but you know what I'm talking about.
All right. I guess there's a competition for everything, huh?
Yeah.
So.
Stone skipping.
Stone skipping. Well, so-
I know I was talking about it yesterday. Imagine being the guy that finds... Like, you find out your friend's, like, a professional stone skipper. You take him camping, he just chucks the rock, and it just goes flying across the lake.
Drunk people are impressed-
Yeah
... for five seconds. Cool, cool talent, bro. [laughs]
[laughs] Well, can you balance a checkbook?
That's right. [laughs]
