The home team right there, who will be opening up for Bill Murray in 2026, April 18th. I forgot exactly where they'll be performing. But yes, there is a show in Salt Lake City, April 18th. It's on our concert calendar at, uh, Riverbend Media Group dot com/calendar. Oh, man. So many shows lined up for next spring. It was just announced this morning that, uh, the Chaos and Carnage Tour is gonna be coming to the, uh, complex in Salt Lake City. You- you wanna talk about heavy bands and you s- you watching
a- a bunch of heavy bands all in one night? But by the- the- the fourth or fifth band, you're kind of just like over it, you know. Look at this lineup. Thy Art Is Murder, Body Snatcher, Carnifax, 200 Stab Wounds. Who else is on here? I can't even read those, uh, [laughs] I can't even read those logos. Injested
as well. Gates to Heck. Body Box. Never even heard of them. I like to call them Gates to Heck but they're actually called, uh, Gates to Hell. Sorry. If you wanna get a hold of me, you can over at 208-535-1015. The, uh, Chaos and Carnage Tour coming to the complex in May, May 23rd. Um, they're also gonna be at the Treefort, uh, Music Hall venue in Boise, um, I think like the day before, maybe even the day after. I don't know. The exact dates are on that concert calendar at Riverbend Media Group dot com/calendar. It was a, uh, fast-paced weekend. This, uh, this month as a whole has been going by so incredibly fast. I mean, we are only 10 days away from Christmas, and part of me wants to wait until payday to be able to just, you know, buy a whole bunch of presents. But payday is not until this Friday. And that'll be six days away from Christmas, and that leaves me no time whatsoever to be able to ship things from Amazon to my parents' place and all of that. The l- I already have one gift for my girlfriend as well. I can't buy too much this year because of the lack of funds, you know, which absolutely sucks because I love Christmas because I'm able to gift, uh, things to my friends, you know? Gift things to my family. Uh, watch their reactions as they open up my presents. But anyway, anyway. Peaches Pit Party will be back here in just a few. We're gonna talk some about the, uh, the- the John Cena Grand Finale. Not even really a grand finale. We'll talk some more about that coming up here in just a few on KBear 101. So, it all came down to Saturday night main event, this past Saturday obviously. I forgot exactly where it was. Was it Washington DC where it was located? Where it was, uh, taking place? It really does suck knowing that a piece of my childhood is now dead, you know? John Cena has been wrestling my entire life. I remember going to WrestleMania 21 at the then called Staples Center in Los Angeles. It was WrestleMania Goes Hollywood. My dad paid a ton of money for me and him to sit in the nosebleeds at the Staples Center and watch WrestleMania 21. It was full of great matches. It had Chris Benoit versus, uh, Eddie Guerrero I believe. It had Kurt Angle versus, uh, Shawn Michaels. It had, um, The Undertaker ver- I for- it had
so many legends all in one night. And it had John Cena versus JBL. It was The Undertaker versus Randy Orton. Now, I remember that now because it was the legend versus the legend killer, you know? And that whole event was awesome. Uh, it- it was awesome. I wish I, uh, could go to something like that now. I can't believe they're already on WrestleMania like 40. Like it's been that long. I mean, no, not even WrestleMania 40. It's 20, 42? 'Cause, you know, it's 20 years after WrestleMania 21. Next year will be WrestleMania 42. Jeez. Wow, time flies by. But yeah, John Cena, he announced his retirement. It was like the first ever wrestler, uh, retirement tour. You know in the NBA when they announce their retirement, they'll like, they'll- they'll e- they'll probably do it before the start of the next season. They'll say, "I have one season left in me, this is my retirement tour." Every venue then does something for that awesome player, you know, that type of thing. John Cena announced his retirement tour. He's been doing all these different matches throughout the year. Everyone's been kind of just dreading this date, December 13th coming up. And it came and went, and the grand finale was absolutely awful in my opinion. Like sure he was supposed to lose because that's like the, uh, unwritten rule that you're supposed to lose your final match to push the other superstars into stardom, you know? But at the same time, I wish there was something- something great about this, uh, this ending. Something w- with a little bit more, I don't know, something more memorable. Because when Ric Flair announced one of his many retirement matches, or he announced one of his many r- He- he announced his retirement like multiple times is what I'm trying to say. Ric Flair. I'm not the biggest Ric F- uh, Ric Flair fan, but there was one time where the- the WWE did this whole like video montage for him. Every wrestler came out individually and like hugged him in the ring and all of that. It was an, like an awesome thing that they did for him. They should've done the same for John Cena. It really did suck just to see him get, you know, get put into a headlock by this, uh, guy named Gunther. And then the match just ends and then he walks out, does his final bow and leaves. And he thinks everyone, John Cena thinks everyone will forget about him like when it comes down to, uh, WrestleMania next year. It's like no, dude, you're the, you're being considered as the greatest of all time. I wish we got just at least one more awesome match between him and a legend like hi- him and Edge or something like that. I wish Chris Jericho came back to fight him. I don't know. The whole thing just-... sucked in my opinion. And I was told that the John Cena match would be the sh- the, the, it would be the, uh, match to, uh, kickstart the show. But then, so, so Saturday night, I'm rushing my girlfriend around town, trying to get what we need to get done so we can rush back to my place and sit down and watch his match before it goes, you know, it goes on live and then everyone starts posting about it on social media. We get back to my place and sure enough, yeah, the whole thing's at the very end. I'm like, "We rushed for no reason at all." [sighs] Again, John Cena, a huge thank you to that guy for an awesome, awesome career. Let's play some Hollywood Undead Savior right now. [swoosh] Last night we saw the emergence of one of the craziest stories, I would say, ever.
There was this story that popped up saying that two people, two people were found dead inside Rob Reiner's house.
Then all of a sudden, I come to find out a little bit later that those two people were in fact Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele.
I don't want to go into the grizzly details of what exactly happened to them, but Rob and his wife, Michele, are no longer with us, unfortunately. It's very, very sad. Very tragic. Like I said, it's one of the craziest stories I have ever heard. And I, I, I was looking at Rob Reiner's filmography. I mean, I know he started out in All In The Family, and then he went on to direct This Is Spinal Tap, then The Princess Bride. No, actually no, no, no. This Is Spinal Tap, then Stand By Me, then The Princess Bride, and then when Harry Met Sally, he also did Misery, A Few Good Men. This guy was on a roll. He also was in The Wolf of Wall Street. [Laughs] Like I'm just looking at this here. Geez.
So many different movies. I didn't realize he did the Andre The Giant documentary too. I'm just scrolling down here, looking at his different works. The Enforcer with Clint Eastwood, another movie. What a tragic, tragic tale. I wish I could talk about it more, but yet again, I don't want to really go into the grizzly details of it. Um, their son has been arrested. Nick, Nick Reiner has been arrested. I think, I think I saw his bail was set at $4 million. Oh, man. Truly, truly tragic. All I can say is rest in peace to Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. [swoosh] This Friday, we are giving away that awesome, awesome signed guitar from Bad Omens, Hellstorm, Fall Out Boy, Sleep Theory, and Nevertell. If you want to win this guitar, make sure to sign up within the app, sign up once per app. You wouldn't believe how many people have won with the sounder, won an entry with the sounder, and then have told me they haven't signed up through the apps yet. Do so before the 19th because if you keep waiting and waiting and waiting, and by the 19th comes around and you haven't done it yet, the forms will be taken off right as I get to work on Friday morning at 8:00 AM. So yeah, you, you only have until then to get those, uh, entries in through the forms, once per app, KBear Alton Cannonball, and then all this week listen for the sounder at 208-535-1015, be caller 20. When you hear that sounder to earn an extra entry into this drawing, making it a merry Axemas with the advocate's injury attorneys, winning that signed guitar from Bad Omens, Hailstorm, Fall Out Boy, Sleep Theory, and Nevertell. Here's NeverTell and Sleep Theory right now with Break The Silence on KBear 101. [swoosh] Soccer fans are furious about the price of World Cup tickets. Previously, details were leaked suggesting 2026 World Cup tickets would be affordable, quote unquote. A list published by the German Soccer Federation revealed prices will range from $180 to $700 for varying group stage games, which seems less than what many soccer fans [laughs] would consider affordable. According to a new study, PGA Tour players play worse when they're paired with golfers who don't share their political views. Uh, researchers found that golfers play i- playing in politically mixed groups scored 0.2 strokes worse per round, ranked approximately 2.5 positions poorer, and faced a 5.3% reduced probability of making the tournament cut. That led to a financial loss of approximately $13,000 to $23,400 in each PGA tournament. I guess that's sports news right there. [laughs] Bowling Green linebacker Gideon "ESPN" Lampron, yes, ESPN is actually his middle name, is heading to the transfer portal after a monster season. And the name isn't a nickname or a typo. His sports-loving dad literally wrote ESPN on the birth certificate. So far, the branding has worked. Lampron transferred from Dayton, became one of the most disruptive defenders in the conference and turned himself into a serious player who's hoping to make a few bucks in the portal. If all goes according to plan, he'll end up at a bigger school and get more exposure on ESPN. That does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on KBear 101. [swoosh] You have to be very careful when you put up those Christmas decorations. I was, uh, reading here that, uh, nearly 160 people, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, nearly 160 people are injured every day while putting up holiday decorations resulting in, uh, thousands of hospitalizations. And those numbers have been ticking up each year. More than half the injuries are from falls, others are from slips, trips, burns, shocks, scrapes, cuts, and of course, some are the result of decorating while under the influence of alcohol. I remember the one time my mom got electrocuted by our old, uh, Christmas tree. She just [laughs] tried plugging it in. It was an old Christmas tree at the time. Uh, uh, something happened when she tried plugging it in to the point where she, like, just got shocked and couldn't let go.... Of, uh, the little thing there. I forgot exactly what it's called, but yeah, she couldn't let go of it. And then finally once it stopped, she just dropped it immediately and we returned to the, uh, Christmas tree right away. Luckily, I, I... No, no accidents have happened so far in my apartment, knockin' on wood. I, uh, got myself a wreath for my front door. Got one of those, uh, things from Dollar Tree. Even the Dollar Tree... Can I tell you something? The, the, the, the dol- the Dollar Tree, everything in there is a buck 50 or higher. There, there's nothing in there that's a dollar. Uh, the thing that I wanted was at the very front of the store, and they were selling these things for $7. At the Dollar Tree, for cryin' out loud. Story of the Year. Here's Gasoline, All Rage, still only nub on K-BEAR 101. Did I say nub? Uh, still only numb. Numb. Geez. On K-BEAR 101. [laughs] [swoosh sound] Peach's Pit Party right here on K-BEAR 101. You've heard me talk about this thing called The Giving Machine, that very unique vending machine where you can donate to global and local charities. Well, now it has been moved. It was in Pocatello. It was actually in Chubbuck in the beginning, and it was just in Rexburg, and now starting today, it is going to be at the Grand Teton Mall in Idaho Falls. It'll be there till January 1st. You go to this vending machine, you choose as many items as you wish to donate. You swipe your card. Unfortunately, there's no cash accepted. Only, uh, card or mobile payment. And then 100% of your donation goes to the, uh, chosen charity. There's so many different options in this thing. I believe tonight there will be the, uh, ribbon-cutting ceremony. I think a few people here in the building are gonna be at that. So yeah, Grand Teton Mall in Idaho Falls, The Giving Machine. If you wanna learn more about it, you can go to givingmachineeasternidaho.org. Uh, I believe it's just eastidaho.org. Givingmachineeastidaho.org, or you can click on The Giving Machine within the K-BEAR alt or Cannonball 101 apps and it'll take you directly to that link I just talked about. [swoosh sound] If all goes according to plan tomorrow, I haven't seen a confirmation on if he will be doing so, but, uh, there's this, uh, reaction channel by the name of Metal Burb, and, uh, he's p- ... I, I followed him for a good amount of time now. He's been posting a lot of different reactions to modern metal tracks and, well, I'll be having him on the, the show tomorrow hopefully. Uh, like I said, if all goes according to plan. It would be awesome to talk with him about the best of 2025. I know I have my list of my favorite best albums of 2025. I should continue on and do like my favorite, uh, EPs or whatever, but I don't know, I don't really listen to too many EPs. I just, uh, [laughs] I'll see a new track honestly. It sucks in the modern, modern age of streaming where you just listen to mostly songs and not necessarily albums. I know. I, I, I should ... I, I, I kinda just wanna cancel my streaming services, eh, for music and just be that one weird guy that doesn't necessarily have Spotify or Apple Music, and I just once a month buy an album, you know? Which is way more expensive than just streaming the songs, but it supports the artists the most. Like, if you go to their shop and you buy, uh, uh, the v- the vinyl record of their latest album or whatever, it, it supports the bands the most. And that's what you gotta do really. Really. I mean, it would be cool to have a vast library of CDs or vinyl. It'd be awesome to have a whole bunch of CDs. I've seen some people, uh, post in the K-BEAR 101 Idaho Rock and Metal, their CD collections before, and it's awesome. It's awesome. But yeah, sh- Metal Burb should be on the show tomorrow. I'll hopefully get that whole conversation quickly uploaded to our YouTube at K-BEAR 101 RMG. [swoosh sound] All right, I gotta talk about this story because it annoyed me and also cracked me up at the same time. I related to this guy, because I remember when I went like five miles per hour over the speed limit. I was going 30 in a 25, and magically I was pulled over. Or, uh, it was at the time where I had the, uh, California license plates, and I'm sure the cop is all like, "Oh, look at that. Let's get him. Send him back to where he came from." You know? There's this 86-year-old dude in England just out for a walk by a lake minding his own business. A gust of wind blows his, uh, b- blows a leaf straight into his mouth. Not his fault. Not littering. So, he spits the leaf out. That's it. That's the whole crime, right? Immediately, two enforcement officers roll up on him like he just committed this environmental felony. They tell him they saw him spitting on the ground. He's like, "No, I was choking on a leaf." One of them still writes him a ticket anyway. They fine him over 300 bucks. $300. And the guy's 86, he's got asthma, he's got heart issues, walking problems, and somehow the most dangerous thing he's ever done this year is disrespect a leaf. You know, my favorite part is that he called the officer a silly boy. That's just a grandpa being disappointed. You know? They've ... [laughs] They eventually reduced the fine on appeal, which is nice, but imagine having to go through an appeals process because a plant entered your mouth without consent. You know? The city's like, "Our officers only approach people committing environmental crimes." Okay, so now leaves are contraband. I just love the level of seriousness here, like somewhere there's paperwork that says, "Incident report, aggressive leaf." You know, "Suspect compiled..." Anyway, let's do some, uh, Set It Off. Here's Rotten. [swoosh sound] We've already established on this, uh, on this show that people are weirdly obsessed with the Grinch. Like, like, I'm ta- I mean, tattoos, year-round merch, Grinch pajamas in July level of obsession, like he's becoming the new Jack Skellington. You know, there's a lot of people that are obsessed with The Nightmare Before Christmas. A lot. Now, there's this, uh, new development a- about the Grinch, and this one broke my brain a little. People online are now arguing whether the Grinch is a dog or a cat. Not metaphorically. Not like he gives off cat energy, like biologically.He's a, uh, you know, Grinch cartoon man who lives alone on a mountain with unresolved childhood trauma. That's not a species. It's a, uh, lifestyle. But there are full debates about it. Some people are saying he's obviously a dog, loyal, expressive, emotional. Others are like, "No, he's absolutely a cat, hates everyone, knocks stuff over, lives alone, judges you silently."
Full on debates. [laughs] I could imagine someone just like
curating a, a nice college essay about this type of thing. Netflix apparently made this worse because people are analyzing his movements, his posture, his facial expressions like they're doing a nature documentary. "Notice how The Grinch retreats to his cave when over stimulated. Classic cat behavior." [laughs] Oh man. Have you seen what's happening with McDonald's and their Grinch meals, how people are trying to get those socks oh so badly? We went to McDonald's, uh, Friday and we went to one of the new... I think we went to the new location in Ammon. And sure enough, right there on the door, a big piece of paper that says, "Sorry, we're out of the Grinch meals." I wonder how many people that disappointed. There was a previous story that was very similar to this one. There was this AI system that apparently mistook a high school student's bag of Doritos for a firearm and called local police to tell them the, uh, pupil was lo- was armed. So I'm reading here about this Florida school that went into lockdown after AI flagged a clarinet as a gun. [laughs] Yeah. This... An, an AI based weapon detection system mistakenly triggered a campus lockdown at a Florida middle school after identifying a clarinet as a firearm, raising doubts about the effectiveness and oversight of this kind of security tools in, uh, US schools. The false alarm occurred on Tuesday at Lawton Chiles Middle School in Oviedo when the automated system interpreted a student carrying a clarinet as a potential gun threat. The, uh, school entered a code red lockdown as administrators and police responded to what turned out to be a musical instrument. I mean, could you imagine how the students must have felt, how the parents must have felt? I'm sure the parents got alarmed that, hey, like o- your kid's school is in code red, they're under lockdown, start freaking out. If I was a parent, I'd be anxious as all heck, thinking something's horribly going wrong, you know? Find out it's a clarinet. Please tell me they, they stop using this AI crap. This is the second story. I'm sure there's probably other stories that I just haven't seen yet. But I mean, a bag of Doritos being fooled as a gun on a previous story, now a clarinet. I mean, come on, some poor band geek was just carrying her instrument, caused the school to shut down completely. There once was a brawl in Nantucket. Santa's naughty list is going to include a bunch of men from, uh, Nantucket after, after they, uh, turned the annual Christmas celebration in the charming New England island into a not so merry melee. I like the title. I like this... I like the sound of that, Not So Merry Melee. That should be a, uh, WWE pay-per-view, or PLE is what they call them now. The town's annual Christmas stroll featuring a tree lighting, shopping, and a visit from Santa was interrupted when a brawl broke out in the streets and guys in peacoats and turtlenecks started throwing holiday haymakers at each other. There's another WWE PLE right there, Holiday Haymaker. [laughs] Police responded, but no arrests were made. And those involved, which included men ranging in ages from 20s to 60s, declined to, uh, press charges. The incident occurred last week, but video taken of the wild scene was just released. It's, it's still unclear what sparked the brawl, but it is under investigation. I would love to know what exactly caused this major fight to break out between everyone. Can I ma- I'm trying to think of a Christmas Royal Rumble joke, but, uh, nevermind. Let's just move on. We've already seen stories abo- about people getting e- emotionally attached to AI, calling it their partner, talking about relationships even with it. People also claiming they're raising kids with AI. Like, it's getting weird, which already feels like we've skipped several steps as a society. Now this comes out, OpenAI is planning to roll out adult mode, an adult mode for ChatGPT sometime in early 2026. I thought it was supposed to come out this month, but no, I guess they, uh, delayed it. They're, they'll say... They're saying it'll be age restricted. They're testing verification, all that stuff. But once it's live, the AI can develop a personalized personality specifically for adult conversations with the user. And at that point, I think we all know exactly where this is going because let's be honest, there's a certain group of people out there who already don't leave the house, don't talk to anyone, and now they're gonna have a customizable, always available, never argues back AI companion. This is turning into that movie Her with Joaquin Phoenix, like I've talked about before. [laughs] I got, I, I get the freedom argument. I get adults doing what they want. I'm not clutching pearls over it. It's just wild how fast we went from AI helps you write emails to AI is now your girlfriend, and that part really gets, gets me... The, the part that really gets me is the customized personality theme because that's just... That's not just content, that's simulated intimacy. It's weird, right? I, I don't wanna go into too, uh, too much detail about this 'cause otherwise I'll get the, uh, Jade pucker alert. I- it's weird, right? I feel e- just gross talking about it. Ugh. Was it last week we talked about the worst gifts you've been given? Like the, like the worst gifts you've ever been given on Christmas. I, I'm trying to think of what exactly the worst gift I have ever received is, and I can't really think of anything. There's been some prank gifts that my, uh, parents have gotten me.
Funny enough that I, I mentioned that 'cause it, it just reminded me to talk about it on the air. We had our company Christmas party.And we had the White Elephant gift exchange. And now, I'm not necessarily a fan of the White Elephant gift exchange because most people, they go out with this like $15 limit and they just buy some junk, and then we all exchange junk, and that junk either never gets used or, I don't know, you try to sell it on Facebook Marketplace. At least that's what I try to do. I mean, I- I got something that I'm like, "Yeah, I'll probably use it, I think. I don't know whatsoever." [laughs] But I don't be rude and be like, "Wow, this sucks," and just immediately throw it away after the party. [laughs] But I- I- I decided I'm d- I decided to give away the two Funko Pops that I just wanted to get rid of, but instead of just having it be the two Funko Pops, I put, um, this fake prank box on top of the two Funko Pops so when the person who got the present opened the present, they would see the box
that said Roto Wipe on it. And it was this thing that would, you know, take care of business. It would wipe down there for you. It w- I- if you read the box, the funnier it would g- If you read more and more on the box, the funnier it would get. Like, it's a very relaxing 2,700 RPM. It's great for number ones and twos. There's a to-go version of the product where you can use it to, you know, take care of business if you're out hiking, that type of thing. Well, the one person in the office that I did not want- want it to go to, it went to, and it wasn't perceived well by her 'cause she has no idea who- w- she had no idea what 21 Jump Street was. She was like, "What is this? Like, wha- what's going on here?" And so, I believe she gave it to Jeff across the hallway, that present, which I found pretty funny too, but I'm glad he's enjoying the Funko Pops. I'm glad he's enjoying the, uh... No, I took the Roto Wipe box back 'cause it's something my parents gave me. I'm like, "You know what? I'll just take this back." It's funny that it- i- it made everyone laugh at the White Elephant Christmas Party, but that's about it. But I was looking here legitimately at some of the worst presents people have received. "My dad gave me earrings several years in a row. I don't have pierced ears." "Someone gave me a pet turtle when I was 15. Don't do that." Oh, if you give somebody a rare pet, it'd be... That's one of the dumbest things you could do. It's like giving somebody tropical fish and then they need to go out and buy the tank and everything. [laughs] You give someone- y- you give someone a pet without like sort of hinting at it, like that- that- that's a big gift to give someone. If you gave them like a pet tortoise, maybe that would be easier, but just maybe not give them a pet
un- unless it's like a pet rock, you know? That's funny. "What are the worst gifts you've been given? Going down this thread, my uncle gave his wife toilet paper as a gift. To be fair, it was during COVID lol." That- that- that's pretty funny. All right, I'll- I'll give him that one. [instrumental music plays] Thanks for listening to Peaches Pit Party, the podcast.
