[podcast intro music]

[KFAM intro music]

Sammy Welcome back, everyone. The time is 4:44AM here at King Falls AM.

Ben It’s a slow night. You wanna do… weather and traffic?

Sammy It’s warmin’ up! And if there’s traffic at this ungodly hour, we got problems.

Ben *snickers* Got that right, Sammy! Uh, before we go back to the phones in a sec, I’ve got an email I’d like to read you. I think you’ll get a kick out of this. [definitely smirking]

Sammy Oh! Well, very cool. Alright, whatcha got?

Ben [eager] So, you know I wrote the producers of Mission Apparition, right?

Sammy … No. What are you talkin’ about?

Ben Yes you do. It’s that brain tumor of a show on Channel 13?

Sammy I-I- I know the show, Ben! I’m saying I didn’t know you wrote them.

Ben Dude. You’re gonna love it. I emailed trying to get them booked as guests so we could tear them apart. *snicker*

Sammy Well, I mean, they did keep the lights on a few weeks back, running an ad, of course. [not hopeful] So, please don’t tell me you got confrontational?

Ben If telling the truth about their staged scares counts as confrontational, then… [smug] I totally did.

Sammy Okay, so you accost a paid sponsor of King Falls AM; please continue…

Ben *excited laughter* Okay, let me read this to you. “Dear Sammy,”- [aside] sorry, you— left your station email up.

Sammy Uh-huh.

Ben “Dear Sammy, We at Mission Apparition are extremely sorry! you feel the show is “Overly Produced” and not “true to the nature of actual distressed spirits.” In actuality, Dan and Larry are two of the most highly trained professionals in this field. While we appreciate constructive criticism, name-calling just isn’t needed. If you have any real suggestions to make the show better, please let us know.”

Sammy Ben. [resigned] What did you call them?

Ben Doesn’t matter. What does matter is that I wrote them back, and they’re going to be shooting a future episode- of the show- in King Falls.

Sammy No way!

Ben I said “we have many fine spectral establishments here.” The gauntlet was thrown down and they took the bait.

Sammy As much as I hate to say this, you’re gonna get to see the Mission Apparition guys in a real situation at least.

Ben Oh yeah. [stoked] I’m not sure which to offer up the old Slaughter House off Cottontail Hollow or the library.

Sammy I’m not gonna make a you’re-trying-to-impress-Emily comment here, because I know that that place is chock full of activity.

Ben Exactly.

Sammy But… [semi-muttered] You are trying to impress Emily.

Ben *deep breath* Whatevs. K-ca- Okay, get this though! After I told them I was co-host of a late-night AM talk show? they asked if I’d like to come on set so I can get an interview live.

Sammy Well, book it! Make it happen!

Ben Done and done.

Sammy But please stop using my email.

Ben No promises.

Sammy Alright folks, after that exciting announcement, we’re gonna open up the phone lines to you, our dear listeners. And, uh, Ben? You got a topic?

Ben *tsk* I absolutely do, but you can’t have it until a touch after the 5 o’clock hour, Sammy.

Sammy You heard the man, ladies and gents. It’s a bonafide free-for-all for the next ten minutes or so. Give us a call 424-279-3858.

Ben Or hit us up on twitter @kingfallsam

Sammy Lucky Line 1, you’re live with Sammy and Ben.

Line 1 [deep, nasally, almost bestial voice] Uh, yeah… *heavy breathing, smacking lips* Did you check the mail? Heh

Sammy [mildly sarcastic] Maybe once or twice in my lifetime, uh, do you have a topic? Or is this Ted Kaczynski[1] calling from prison?

Line 1 Uh… you’ll have a topic sooon… heh… [ominous click, dial tone]

Ben Yoouu know I should go take a look in our mail slot now, right?

Sammy [exasperated] Don’t.

Ben It’s a verbal triple-dog-dare! I’ll be right back.

Sammy *sighs* One day, it’s just gonna be a head. I just know it. Line 5, welcome to King Falls AM.

[ominous music]

Line 5 [voice is male, higher pitched, and very nervous] Oh, I got through! Sammy?! I- I need to speak with you in private. Please!

Sammy Iii’m gonna be a little bit sir- we just came back from break. But I’m happy to talk about whatever.

Line 5 We really can’t talk about this on the air. Ehh *nervous breathing* It’s about… wwel-I- *quick sigh* - I really don’t wanna say too much, but— I sent you a text message about, uh…ohh…a month or so back? We need to speak! It’s incredibly urgent!

Sammy Sir, I get a lot of texts over the course of a month.

Line 5 W-well- we can’t talk about this on the air.

Sammy Who am I speaking with?

Ben [returning] We have mail, Sammy!

Line 5 [almost whispered] I turned the power back on…

Ben Mr. Thompson?

Probably Mr. Thompson Err— no! [click, dial tone]

Sammy Hello? Sir?

Ben What was that about? [laughing slightly] I swear that dude sounded just like my old science professor.

Sammy Can you get a number on line 5, Ben?

Ben … Yeah! Yeah… uh, in a minute! Look at this!

Sammy *laugh* Is that a cassette tape?

Ben Yeah. No letter— just a tape. It’s labeled “D.D.” [eager] We should play this.

Sammy I hope it’s Duran Duran.

Ben I’ll just stick this in… heeere.

Sammy Uh, do you think we should listen to that first? I know you got a trigger finger on the dump, but…

Ben [smugly] You’re looking at the fastest finger in the tri-state.

Sammy You know, there’s a dirty joke there that, for our friendship, I’m just gonna cruise- right on past.

Ben Where’s the play button on this hunk’a junk? Merv, why do we have a cassette player in the studio?! It’s 2015.

Sammy I think you know why.

Ben [hands rubbing together] I’m excited! [sounds of tape being inserted in the player]

Sammy You better be payin’ attention. I don’t want to hear one –

[TAPE PLAYS]

Lance [heavy Australian accent, narrating like a documentary] “This is Lance McCord checking in. I’m about 5 kilometers off the Stealth Ridge Trail now. It’s heavily wooded and just getting thicker.”

[stop click]

Sammy Do you know this guy? “Lance”?

Ben Never heard of him. But if the “R” word was politically correct for broadcast? I’d totally use it for him right now. That trail is like the boonies within the boonies.

[play click]

Lance “So far so good. I was- I was a bit worried with all the tall tales surrounding the ‘Devil’s Doorstep.’ I guess that’s why I’m talking to you; tracing my steps. Nothing strange or out of the ordinary. I have noticed a lack of wildlife and birds, to be this far in the bush.”

[stop click]

Ben … There is no way.

Sammy “The Devils Doorstep”?

Ben Definitely the R-word— or has a death wish! Or both!

Sammy Where is this place?

Ben [reluctant] It’s north of King Falls. It’s a dark-ass set of woods. Obviously, this guy isn’t from around here because he’d know you don’t even talk about it, much less go there.

Sammy Ominous…

Ben And We Don’t joke about it.

Sammy [challenge accepted] It sounds so inviting, The Devil’s Doorstep. What kind of Welcome Mat do you think the Dark Lord picks out? Do you think he has a “NO SOLICITING” sign?

Ben Stop it. I know you laugh about stuff like this, but… Don’t.

[play click]

[eerie siren-like singing in bg]

Lance “Right, about 30 minutes from my last check in. My mobile has lost signal. It- looks like it’s just you and me, pal. I lost a little bit of, uh, time. I got turned around a few minutes back. All the paths are starting to look really similar, so, it’s hard to… [ominous chant-singing in bg. there’s static/rustling/indistinct whispers that fades in and out] Still no wildlife. I don’t know if any men or women have ever stepped where I’m stepping. I kind of like that.”

[stop click, siren song stops]

Sammy Did you hear something there?

Ben NOPE! NO SINGING.

Sammy I didn’t say singing. I said something.

Ben I didn’t hear anything!

[play click]

[static or whispers in bg]

Lance “It’s getting colder now. Darker. That or my- mind is playing the tiniest of tricks on me. Voices, singing— whispers. It’s, uh– it’s head games. [siren song begins] Nothing’s gonna stop me from making it to the gate.”

[stop click]

Ben I think that’s enough.

Sammy Ben, honestly. “Gate?” I’m not following here. You’re the expert, what’s he looking for? Or- or why’s he even looking for it?

Ben COMMERCIAL TIME! Let’s do this…

[KFAM theme music]

Sammy And welcome back to King Falls AM that’s 660 on the radio dial. We’ve just been listening to a tape we received anonymously. Apparently, there’s a hiker out adventuring in—

Ben [desperately, voice breaking] LINE 8, you’re live.

Finn Ooh boy! Things are getting tense on that tape, y’know?!

Ben Forget the tape! Ha-how-how’re you doing, Finn? Is everything— still intact?

Finn Doin’ swell, just swell! [scratching sounds]

Ben You okay there, Finn?

Finn Oh sorry! Didn’t think you’d pick that up. I’ve just been scratchin something awful the past couple weeks. I got in some poison oak, or— something – I don’t know!

Sammy Glad to hear you’re doing well, after…

Finn *growling* [scratching continues]

Ben [apprehensively] … You got a travel buddy with you tonight, Finn?

Finn Oh, no. [horn in bg] Just got cut off going down the highway, here. [muttered] Lousy drivers… [almost shouting] we got three other lanes y’know! [distracted] Ahh! Look at the food billboards!

Sammy Okaaay. Um, what’s on your mind tonight buddy?

Finn Ah, just callin’ in to say hi… that sorta thing. Plus, this story? Wooweee, who is this guy? Have you talked about this place before? I don’t think I heard you mention it… Uhh, I don’t think…

Ben Because we don’t, Finn.

Finn Spoooky stuff, fellas!

Sammy Yeeaah… I don’t know if you were–

Finn *howls loudly*

Ben I- I’m sorry. Yyou gotta keep your pup- quiet.

Finn [confused] Pup? No doggy here! Just you two fellas- and mee, rolling down the rooaad.

Sammy You don’t have a dog with you, Finn?

Finn Couldn’t if I wanted to. I’m allergic. [scratching]

Ben Are… are you feeling okay? Did you ever get checked out after that night you hit that… were— dog?

Finn What?! I wouldn’t lay hands on a pooch! Are you feelin’ alright, Ben?

Sammy *laugh* He’s talkin’ about the dog you accidentally hit awhile back. Uh, y-you got out to check on it and the call dropped off?

Finn Uh… Naooo, wasn’t me. Y’know, I think I’d remember somethin’ like that! [honking in bg, sound of semi passing] Dammit all, I gotta go, boys. Can’t scratch, drive, and talk at the same time. Finish that tape, it’s givin’ me the willies!

Ben Stay awake and- stay safe, Finn… Make a doctor’s appointment!— maybe…

Sammy Or a vet…

Finn *chuckles* Oh, you two! I’ll catch you later. *loud howl*

[click, dial tone]

Sammy Now, Ben. You know- I love what you do on this show. I wouldn’t wanna do this with anybody-else… BUT. I’ve got a tiny issue with you cutting to unscheduled breaks during conversations.

Ben [innocently] Did that happen? I’m so sorry, I just… I’m so interested in—

Sammy In doing everything but playing that tape. You got us all interested now, man. You gotta follow through.

Ben Okay– [definitely not having fun] it was fun! but I think we should just forget about it.

Sammy Impossible.

Ben S-sit down, don’t—

[play click]

Lance [wind gusting] “There’s no doubt that something is, uh, keeping me away from the gate at this point. [siren song in bg] My- watch has just stopped working, so I don’t know what time it is. I can’t really see the sun from the thickest overhangs to tell… I checked my compass [sing-chanting in bg] to ensure I was… [rustling] WHAT THE?” [creepy sing-chanting intensifies]

Super Creepy Whisper Voice “TURRRN. BAAACK. NOOOW.”

Lance “My fu[bleep]ing compass- is literally spinning like a top! There’s EVIL in these woods! You can feel it- in the air! It’s palpable!”

[stop click]

Sammy Ben! Don’t be mad!

Ben [seriously upset] We shouldn’t be playing this! This isn’t a joke, man! This is a tape that probably needs to go to the proper authorities! I’m gonna google Missing Persons.

Sammy Look, I’m not against that. But let’s finish this up, and at the very least talk to me. Tell us a little bit about the woods.

Ben If- if I tell you, will you stop playing the damn tape?

Sammy Absolutely! Help fill these last minutes until your actual topic of discussion arrives.

Ben *heavy sigh* The path, Lance is on, is called Stealth Ridge. It’s about a five-mile round-trip hike up north in- Perdition Wood.

Sammy You guys really know how to name things here.

Ben *deep breath* Okay, supposedly— as in, “legend-has-it” kind of talk, way off the beaten path— I mean WAY off, as in nobody’s ever seen it— is what he’s looking for. A cave called… [reluctant] “The Devil’s Doorstep”

Sammy Uh-huh.

Ben [agitated] Put two and two together here- Sammy! It’s an entrance to the gates of hell! Many people have went out looking for it! None have ever found it— SOME never return.

Sammy [softly] Have you been up there, Ben?

Ben Once…

Sammy And?

Ben Are you serious?! HELL NO, I haven’t been! I’m not crazy like Crocodile Dundee[1] on that tape.

Sammy I mean, he’s gotta be okay, right? The tape made it here! [getting nervous] I-it could’ve been him who dropped it off in our mail and called tonight! Right?

Ben This was fun for a minute, now it’s just massively creepy. Let’s move— [play click] SAMMY!

Sammy Du- you’re looking at me! I didn’t push the button!

[siren song]

Lance “It is so cold. [wind gusting] I’ve des-scended a great deal from the initial crest- of the ridge it seems … I saw what appeared to be—”

Super Creepy Whisper Voice “LAASST. WAARRNING. MORRTALLL.”

Ben TURN IT OFF!

[click of buttons being pressed on tape player]

[rustling/cracking in bg]

Lance “What the F[bleep] is that?!”

Sammy [sarcastically] Good job!

Ben Alright it won’t stop. Unplug it! I’m not kidding.

Sammy It is unplugged!

[creepy sing-chanting starts, chilling scream]

Lance *breathing hard* “It’s after me! … [calmer] Umm, I- I don’t know what that was. [song/chant continues in bg] I’m heading to the lip of this cove, here. I think I’m just gonna- wait it out- u-until morning. I’m wet, cold– I, uh, caught my jacket in the bush. I’m bleeding— Jesus… My, uh- my phone is missing. God dammit. It really is just you and— [rustling/cracking]

Super Creepy Not-Whisper Voice MEEE!!!

Lance “No! [impact noise] Help me!!” [sound of running, anguished scream from Lance]

[sing-chanting continues]

Put two and two together here, Sammy! It’s an entrance to the gates of hell! Many people went out looking for it, none have ever found it. Some never return.

Sammy:

Aventuras del ultimo día de clases (31/03/2017).

Todo comenzó como a las 5 de la tarde, yo me estaba muriendo de sueño, de hambre y cansancio. Estaba mareado y ya veía borroso, pero tenia que terminar todo mi trabajo y hacer extracciones de DNA en el laboratorio.

Pero era viernes, así que a esa hora todos suspendieron sus respectivas actividades y ya por fin pude irme, así que iba con Héctor comiendo un queso chihuahua que le habían regalado y en el camino desde el laboratorio hasta la estatua del caco, encontré muchos amigos, incluyendo a Diana y Astrid. Desde lejos me hablaban que fuera, así que fui corriendo y llegue hasta donde estaban, resultó que estaban viendo una capsula del tiempo que hicieron como evento para el día del Egresado en la facultad, en ese momento me dieron ganas de poner algo que valiera la pena, pero no tenia nada de nada, por eso, en ese momento pensé en tomarnos una fotografía, y a un chavo del grupo llamado Omar se le ocurrió ir a revelarla en City club. Así que fuimos Diana, Omar, Welsh y yo a City club.

Ya en City club, revelamos la foto y una copia para cada quien, aunque aun moría de hambre, así que fui con diana a ver que compraba para comers, luego, pasamos por un pasillo con puras señoras con muestras gratis de comida y fuimos a casi todas. Ya después compramos una bolsa de charrones y pues, técnicamente esa fue mi comida. Terminando eso nos devolvimos a la facultad para poner la foto en la capsula. Volviendo a la escuela, pusimos la foto en la capsula y aun seguían varios de los chicos de la foto, y todo estaba muy loco en la facultad! pusieron lunecillas y muchas mesitas con sillas, ademas de que pusieron a los de mesa directiva de meseros y había músicos tocando violines, todo por el día del egresado.

Entonces, entre los músicos que estaban tocando en la escuela, todos vestían con traje muy formales, pero, había uno con camiseta tocando así tal cual, y yo lo conocía! era un amigo que estaba buscando desde hace unos días. Terminó de tocar y me puse a platicar con el de unas cosas, para ese momento ya solo estaba presente Diana, Astrid y su Aramis, pero se agregó este chavo (Dalí) al grupo.

Fuimos al metro y todos terminaron yendo por caminos distintos, sólo quedamos Dalí y yo. En eso, nos encontramos al amigo que que estuvo en la fiesta de vinz y se unió a nuestro grupo. Íbamos todos para el mismo camión, así que nos subimos al camión y en eso me encuentro a Hector, un amigo con el que había ido al Museo Marco hace poco, y ya el grupo había cambiado completamente del que era al inicio. Entonces ya Hector y el amigo de vinz se fueron y continuaron su camino en el camión, mientras Dalí y yo nos bajamos para ir a su casa, porque quería que me ayudara con algo. Quería que Dalí me ayudara a terminar la canción que había hecho hace unos días, llegamos a su casa fuimos por su saxofón y luego en su carro pasamos a mi casa por mi guitarra. Por suerte, en ese mismo momento una amiga suya llamada Delcia lo invitó a ir a su casa, Dalí le dijo que si podríamos tocar ahí con ella, y dijo que si.

Resultó que era una casa con puras chavas, las amigas de Dalí eran cantantes, pianistas, violinistas y todo eso. Así que nos pusimos a ensayar la canción y les gustó demasiado. Les dije que era un regalo para mi chica, así que estaban entusiasmadas por escuchar y ayudarme si es que se podía.

Yo no las conocía a ninguna, pero me cayeron bien y nos hicimos amigos muy rápido. Y volvió a pasar el mismo suceso de antes, el grupo de amigos de ese momento había cambiado completamente por segunda vez. Entonces fuimos a comprar sushi mientras les explicaba como era la canción, ya después ensayamos un rato y esta fue la canción:  http://jmvalerous.tumblr.com/post/159103225230/feliz-cumplea%C3%B1os

Feliz cumpleaños, Tamara.

Mis estimados y ficticios lectores; si ustedes por casualidad, en algunos otros años habían pasado por esta página en las fechas de septiembre, podrán haber notado que era mi sitio una tribuna en la que afirmaba, año con año, que el patriotismo en México no existe y que lo poco que medianamente hay, solo se presenta durante los quince primeros días de septiembre. Este año me cayeron el hocico.

Cada año presumí mi patriotismo y critique a quienes, por el simple hecho de hacer una peda con los cachetes pintados de verde blanco y rojo, presumían su orgullo de ser mexicanos, y cada año también los invité a seguir demostrando su patriotismo todo el año.

Para este 2017, tenía ya listo un artículo que, a Dios gracias, no terminé por falta de tiempo y que iba a llevar por nombre “Septiembre y el falso patriotismo”. ¡Qué bueno que no lo acabé!

Porque el pasado 19 de septiembre los mexicanos callaron mis llamados de patriotismo para demostrarme que de la mano con ese valor viene otro más importante: la solidaridad.

Y no hablo de la solidaridad como programa institucional de la que hablaba Salinas, sino de la que espontáneamente tomó las calles del país tras los sismos, primero el del 7 de septiembre en Oaxaca y con más fuerza en la Ciudad de México luego del terremoto del martes 19.

Hasta el cansancio se difundieron los videos de edificios cayéndose, de construcciones bailando, del gringo que no soltó la cerveza en Xochimilco, pero con el paso de las horas las redes encontraron una vocación más noble difundiendo los rostros de quienes salieron a ayudar.

Y vimos todos a los chavos que a las dos horas del sismo ya estaban levantando escombros con tal coordinación que sugería ensayos de meses; vimos al señor qué salió a repartir tamales gratis a los brigadistas, a la pareja de adultos mayores que regaló champurrado. Vimos a Frida y los binomios caninos de rescate; a los Topos, a los hipsters, a los fresas, a los millennials.

A los estudiantes de la UNAM que mientras organizaban brigadas cantaban el Cielito lindo. A los efectivos del ejército que marchaban por las calles de La Condesa en medio de aplausos. A las televisoras nacionales que, en medio de sus filias y fobias transmitieron ininterrumpidamente por más de 30 horas.

Y vimos también miles de centros de acopio en todo el país repletos no sólo de donativos, sino de manos, gente que hacía fila para ayudar un rato y demostrarle al mundo que no existe el cangrejo mexicano.

Vimos a las marcas que pusieron el ejemplo donando víveres: a Heineken México enlatando agua, a ADO transportando gratuitamente a voluntarios de protección civil o a Facebook, Google y Apple que donaron cuantiosas sumas en favor de la reconstrucción de nuestro país.

Vimos a los discapacitados ayudando; vimos caras de rescatistas irreconocibles por tanto polvo y cansancio, vimos la bandera nacional ondear mil veces… pero también vimos el llanto profundo de un soldado al no poder rescatar con vida a una de las víctimas del sismo.

Estas imágenes dieron la vuelta al mundo y estoy seguro que pasarán a la historia por ser un claro ejemplo de la fortaleza de los mexicanos. Por eso este septiembre hizo la diferencia. Por eso este mes y sus terribles acontecimientos me callaron la boca.

Es cierto, podremos no ser patriotas siempre, pero cuando lo somos, alcanza para todo el año. ¡Ya no dejemos de serlo!

  Fuerza México, canta y no llores.

Solidaridad y patriotismo: lo que el sismo nos dejó. Mis estimados y ficticios lectores; si ustedes por casualidad, en algunos otros años habían pasado por esta página en las fechas de septiembre, podrán haber notado que era mi sitio una tribuna en la que afirmaba, año con año, que el patriotismo en México no existe y que lo poco que medianamente hay, solo se presenta durante los quince primeros días de septiembre.
