KCAA: Controlled Chaos with Gary Garver (Wed, 4 Mar, 2026)

March 4, 2026·1 hr·5 clips

Gary Garver claims he will prove demons are real on his radio show, right after returning from a Vegas trip.

He starts with the show already getting knocked around. ASU and Liberty Mutual ads crowd the cold open, then he comes back wondering whether he can go to Thailand and asking about dentists there. It has the rough AM radio feel right away. He names Control Chaos on KCAA 1050 AM and 106.5 FM in the Inland Empire, then tries to get the morning started. The clearest story is Vegas. He talks about Sunday after eating, going to Korean barbecue, returning to the hotel, having a couple beers, and splitting off for the night. The trip sounds good. Monday's drive back was okay because he had not drunk much, and for a minute it feels like a normal travel recap. Then the condo takes over. Back in the Coachella Valley, he says the demons attacked again and accused him of things he did not do. He circles the same disbelief because that is the whole mood. He cannot believe it happened, and he wants the listener stuck there with him. Liberty Mutual and Whoop keep breaking in, which makes the rant feel even more like station business crashing into a private complaint. He says details are coming after the break and that the trouble started within an hour of getting back, while still calling Vegas awesome. The ending turns local again with a rummage sale announcement near Singleton Road in Cala Mesa, then KCAA reminds younger listeners they are hearing AM radio. This is not a tidy story. It is a host trying to keep a rant moving while ads, travel notes, and condo drama all fight for the mic.

As heard by us

A messy talk-radio stretch where a Vegas recap, a meowing cat, and ad breaks all end up in the same run-on flow.

Gary Garver spends this stretch of Controlled Chaos moving from a Vegas recap to a meowing cat, then back through station IDs, ad reads, and fresh grievances. The result feels loose in a way that suits him.
