00:00:00,100 --> 00:23:07,788 [Speaker 0]
[upbeat music] It is hump day, January 28th, 2026. Good afternoon. I am Peaches here with you, like always, leading up to Hard Drive XL with Lou Brutus. If you wanna get a hold of me, you can, over at two oh eight five three five one oh one five. Uh, don't believe everything you see online, especially with how AI is being used for pretty much everything. This is not AI-related, what I'm about to talk about. Um, I saw this, uh, video get posted from Tom Segura and Christina Pazsitsky, uh, his wife. Um, they were in the Caribbean vacationing. Well, they weren't gonna make it back to the US in time to do their next episode of their podcast, so the podcast producer sent them a message saying: "Hey, you're not gonna be here. Uh, could you please put out a video on social media saying there will be no new podcast this week?" So they record the video [chuckles] and pretend... You know how Tom Segura, if you, if you're a fan of his stuff, you know how sarcastic he is, how deadpan he is and everything. He, uh, made this whole joke about how they're not able to travel out of the Caribbean because of the whole, uh, Venezuela capturing of the president, that whole thing. So they posted that video, and sure enough, pretty soon after that, TMZ and Deadline posted that Tom Segura and Christina P. were stuck [chuckles] out there, and they were just joking! And it's so funny how people are so quick to not realize that he's being sarcastic either, because if you look at the comments, people are saying, "Good, g- good riddance. Get rid of him," the whole thing. [chuckles] It's like, come on, it's a joke, people. It's a joke. You gotta read more than just the headline. The Super Bowl is next weekend, not this upcoming one, but the one after, Sunday, February 8th. Uh, next year, the Super Bowl is going to fall on Valentine's Day, which I believe is going to cause a lot of couples to break up. [chuckles] It's gonna be rather ugly. Uh, Super Bowl LX is also set to be played at Levi's Stadium. The presumption was, was that the Seahawks and the Patriots would base their preparations at the nearby San Francisco 49ers training facility. Turns out, that won't be the case because of this thing called the substa- Substation Theory. It suggests prolonged exposure to electromotive force, EMF, could be contributing to the team's longstanding injury problems. The, uh, Niners' training facility has come under scrutiny in the past few months due to this whole weird theory. It, it centers around an electrical substation adjacent to the 49ers' training complex in Levi's Stadium. Very weird, right? The setup is pract-- as, as practical, as both teams get their own private space, minimal logistic overlap, tighter security, but the timing makes it hard to connect it with the Substation Theory surrounding the 49ers. It's v-- it's very weird. [chuckles] I, I-- like, just let them practice where they wanna practice, but still, what a weird online theory: EMF causing, uh, football players to get injured. Anyway, let's continue here with Return to Dust. It's Bored on KBIR 101. So back in college, um, I had to turn in essays via turnitin.com, and it was that website where you would... uh, it would detect if you plagiarized somebody else's work. You know, i- it's, it's quite, uh, funny how bad I was at writing essays, and I would go to, uh, somebody else's work on the same subject matter, and I would just type it in myself. Uh, like, it would be what they wrote, but way dumber, right? But now, there's AI. Uh, you know, back when I was in college, back in my day, we didn't have AI at our fingertips like we do now. There's this escalating arms race on US college campuses between students and AI cheating detectors. Uh, teachers are using software like Turnitin and GPTZero, meant to spot AI-gener- generated work. Students are finding that those tools often flag real writing as AI. That means even someone who didn't cheat can get labeled as a cheater, so students started using something called AI humanizer tools. These aren't detectors. They try to tweak or rewrite text so the, uh, detectors won't think an essay [chuckles] was generated by AI. Some students are running their drafts through multiple detectors and humanizers to avoid false flags. Basically, we're fighting fire with fire. The headline even says: "To avoid accusations of AI cheating, college students are turning to AI." This sounds like one of Victor's worst nightmares, this major sewer pipeline that carries, uh, wastewater from Virginia and Maryland towards Washington, DC. Um, it collapsed, sending millions of gallons of untreated sewage, about forty million gallons a day, into... Is it the Potomac River? The Potomac River. Officials say this includes so much raw wastewater that in some places, it's being described as a small geyser of poop water bubbling up and flowing out in all directions. [chuckles] Water samples near the break show bacteria levels thousands of times above safe limits for human contact. Not just a little gross, but genuinely dangerous. [chuckles] Just a small geyser of poop water. I saw that headline, and I immediately had to talk about it. During his NFL coaching career, Bill Belichick won six Super Bowl rings as a head coach and two more as a defensive coordinator, but somehow, some way, voters for the Pro Football Hall of Fame don't believe he's worthy of wearing a gold jacket, as he fell short of the forty out of fifty votes needed for induction to the Hall of Fame during his first year of eligibility. Bill, uh, Belichick was reportedly puzzled and disappointed when he learned the news. Football insiders and Belichick himself believe, uh, politics kept him out. After firing their head coach, Sean McDermott, about a week ago, the Buffalo Bills promoted their offensive coordinator, Joe Brady, to head coach. This is Brady's first time, first job as head coach after leading the Bills' offense for the last two and a half years. He helped quarterback Josh Allen become the NFL's MVP in 2024, and Buffalo ranked fourth in both scoring and total yards this season. Now, Caitlin Clark-... has picked up a part-time job during the WNBA off-season as a commentator on NBA games. Clark has signed with NBC to appear on their new pre-game show, Basketball Night in America. Her first appearance will be on Sunday, February 1st, at Madison Square Garden, as the Knicks host the Lakers. Clark will also appear on Basketball Night in America on March 29th at, uh, Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, when the, where the, when the, when the Thunder host the Knicks. Uh, let's, let's talk about some golf real quick, 'cause, you know, it's still... We had that whole discussion about, uh, is golf a sport? Most people said yes, so it is gonna be included in the Shot Clock Sports Update. Starting tomorrow, Brooks Koepka will be playing at his first regular PGA Tour event in four years at the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego. There's a bit of drama here because he ditched the PGA in 2022 after taking big bucks from Saudi Arabia to, uh, defect the, to the, uh, uh, Liv Golf League. He's now jumping through hoops to be part of the PGA's returning member program and admits he needs to rebuild the relationships he had with fellow golfers and fans before joining that whole Liv or L-I-V. I still don't know what it's actually called, but anyway, that's your Shot Clock Sports Update for today right here on KBEAR one oh one. [whooshing] A classic right there from the one, the only, Pink Floyd. Now, I have to confess something. I'm sure you've heard me talk about it before on the air. I'm not exactly the biggest Pink Floyd fan. I just know they're essential when it comes to rock. I just know classic rock, you gotta think of Pink Floyd, you gotta think of Grateful Dead, you gotta think of The Rolling Stones, et cetera. Uh, Victor made a post in the KBEAR one oh one Idaho Rock and Metal Facebook group, a question we've asked a whole bunch of times: "What's one band that nobody will ever convince you it's good?" Pretty much it's all the Sleep Token haters in there right now, going, "Sleep Token, fight me, huh!" You know, that whole thing. I see some Ghost responses. I see Rush in there, but, uh, I- I would put my... I would put Pink Floyd as my answer. Like, uh, it's just, it's stoner rock, and it's just, eh, like, I have to be, you know, under the influence of something in order to enjoy it really. But I would've put them, would've put Sublime, would've put Three Eleven. [chuckles] I'm not gonna ask that question for the Peach Throne, 'cause I know for a fact most people are just gonna say Sleep Token. The Sleep Token haters, the anti-Sleep Token crusade, is just gonna come out of the, the woodworks and start, you know, spewing off their nonsense. Let's amp it up here with some Lamb of God, "Sepsis," on KBEAR one oh one. [whooshing] So somebody asked this question: "What did you think was peak luxury as a kid but now realize it's actually pretty trashy or just normal?" The, the top answer is, uh, Red Lobster. Everyone thought that was like fine dining, right? At least I-- that's what I thought. Never been to one. My family was never into seafood, even though we grew up right by the coast. My family never liked seafood. I, I love shrimp. I love seafood. I think it's great. Love salmon, tuna, et cetera. Never been inside a Red Lobster. I've heard those cheddar biscuits, though, are, uh, fantastic from over there. Uh, another answer, Lunchables, which I thought was kind of weird because Lunchables are rather cheap, actually. Like, I used to have them all the time as a kid in elementary school. I used to love that one that had the, uh, Scooby-Doo Scooby Snack, but they never... I, I, I can't find it anywhere. I mean, I, uh, I know they don't sell it anymore, but I can't find any pictures of it or anything [chuckles] of that sort. Somebody wrote limousines on this thread here for, "What did you think was peak luxury as a kid but now realize it's actually pretty trashy or just normal?" Have you ever actually been inside a limo? If you go to, like, the very... Like, if you go, the closer to the driver that you go, they call that the deep end, where you have to crawl yourself out of the limo in order to get out 'cause the door is on the complete other side of it, and it's, it's okay. I, I remember back in middle school, this was talked about in this, uh, specific thread, too. It reminded me back in middle school, the- there used to be that whole stupid thing where they would want you to sell magazines or chocolate or whatever, and if you sold a certain amount, you could get a limo ride to, uh, to a, to a park, and you, they would provide lunch. And the lunch was these tiny little, like, three-inch sand- uh, Subway sandwiches, and that was it. We took, uh... My parents ended up buying a whole bunch of those, uh, magazines in order for me to be able to, uh, take that l- that luxury limo ride, you know, with twenty to thirty other little kids. [chuckles] It wasn't great. It sucked. I've been in a limo other times besides that, and, uh, uh, it's not that great. You see all the celebrities now, they don't roll around in limos. They roll around in those giant blacked-out Escalades, you know, those tiny... not the tiny, those giant SUVs, that type of thing. They're, they're never in a limo. Limos are so outdated. [whooshing] So I talked about it alread- already, that Victor has made that post in the KBEAR one oh one Idaho Rock and Metal Facebook group. The post is asking: What's one band that nobody will ever convince you is good? And as I mentioned before, there's just a whole lot of people just spewing out Sleep Token, 'cause they want to be controversial, and the internet told them to have that opinion, so they have that opinion type of thing. And I was thinking about my answer. Like, I, I had multiple for this one, and I, I had it typed out, and then I just deleted the comment. Uh, I just didn't really want to stir anything up. Like, I have my opinion, and, and people know I don't care for Sublime, 'cause I've made jokes about that on the air. There's been people who have messaged us on, on the Facebook page, [chuckles] like, getting all upset that I've, uh, roasted Sublime in the past, and it's like, chill. It's just my opinion, you know? I, I did have on that answer, though, I did have a few bands. I had Sublime, Three Eleven, Pearl Jam, and I had that guy Jaris Johnson. For some reason, that was, like, an obsession for a short while. There was a lot of people that were like, "Oh, he's so good," and I'm like, it's just generic jock rock to me. But one of those bands that I r- I really just don't care for, it's not that I can't stand them, and I'm, I'm not saying they're not good, 'cause they're good to a lot of people, I just don't care for their sound, is Sabaton. I just don't care for them. I don't like this historical stomp-along music that they do. You know, it's just, it's kind of silly to me, like, "Let's go beat the dragon!" You know, it's just so-... It's so dumb. [laughing] You know, Sabaton, um, like I mentioned, there's a, there's a lot of- the people, they, they have a lot of fans, and it's very unfortunate that they had to postpone their North American tour. They had a show coming up on our concert calendar. I was actually looking at the, uh, calendar recently. I know there's Bad- there's Ghost, then Bad Omens, and then I think Sabaton is the third one listed, or was the third one listed, and they, they were s- they were scheduled for the Union Event Center in Salt Lake, February 24th. The entire tour postponed because one of the members in the band, I'm gonna butcher this guy's name, Pär Sundström. Pär Sundström, is that how you say his name? I, I think he was battling some sort of, like, crazy health issue, and the, he, they can't perform without him, obviously, so they're just postponing the entire tour. I think they were, uh, gonna have Pop Evil and, uh, Wings of Steel on the tour with them, the Legends on Tour tour, [chuckles] unfortunately postponed. But there's, there's a lot of other shows on that concert calendar. Take a look at it. There's a shortcut to the concert calendar via the KBEAR 101 app. There we go, some I Prevail body bag on Peaches Pip Party. I know this is not necessarily a, a typical giveaway that we do here on KBEAR, but, uh, our sister channel, Cannonball 101, is, uh, doing this, and I wanted to talk about it. If you're a, a fan of Devo, the classic '80s group, they're bringing the, uh, Mutate Don't Stagnate tour to the Complex in Salt Lake City on April 7th. We're giving away tickets to that. You can sign up for that ticket giveaway by just simply filling out the form on the KBEAR 101 app, as well as the alt app, the Cannonball 101 app. Uh, sign up a maximum of one time on each app for a total of three entries into the drawing. We'll be drawing for winners for that on Friday, and then on Friday, I promise you, we'll be announcing another ticket giveaway that is very much so KBEAR-oriented. Let's do some Pretty Reckless right now for I Am Death on KBEAR 101. It is Peaches Pip Party right here on KBEAR 101. Uh, I talked about the Super Bowl. It's gonna be, uh, coming up February 8th, not this weekend, but next weekend. Um, yeah, it's gonna be the Patriots versus the Seahawks. Gonna be a pretty good game, I think. Uh, I, I'm, I'm not, I'm not really rooting for either team. I'm just gonna watch it, I think. Uh, the Super Bowl halftime show, I'm not necessarily, uh, the biggest critic of the Super Bowl halftime show. I know it's going to be a hip-hop or a pop act every single time, you know, e- every single year. The uh, the, the sh- the performer gets announced, and then sure enough, everyone in the comments is like, "Why not Metallica?" You know, that type of thing. Well, Aerosmith did the, uh, Super Bowl halftime show today, uh, twenty-five years ago, on January 28th. Um, in two, the two thousand and one Super Bowl halftime show, it was Aerosmith, I believe [chuckles] with, uh, NSYNC, Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige, and Nelly all together at Raymond James Stadium in Nampa. There was this whole pre-recorded skit featuring Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, with Aerosmith and NSYNC. It started with the boy band doing "Bye, Bye, Bye," followed by Aerosmith doing their ballad, "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing." Back in twenty twenty-three, Yahoo! Sports listed it as the third worst, saying, "In attempting to appeal to everyone, this dog's breakfast of musical styles and fashion ends up collapsing in an incredibly awkward Walk This Way strut, dancing sing-along." It was two thousand and one. Nobody knew any better. But, I mean, here's the thing: I, I feel like this whole Bad Bunny halftime show, it, it's really not gonna be cared about. It's not gonna be talked about. Um, what was the one previously? I completely forgot. It was that forgettable. I think it was The Weeknd, wasn't it, last year? Not exactly sure. No, it was somebody different. I'm not sure, but I, I, I just, I don't think there will ever be a rock act in the halftime show. There never will be, and so everybody complaining on Facebook, talking about, "Why hasn't Metallica played it?" They're not going to, uh, ever, I don't think. I'm ho- I'm, I'm hoping I'm proven wrong next year, but at the same time, there's not much hope there. You know what I think is so funny? Is sometimes I'll just go into the SiriusXM Octane Fan Club Facebook group. I'll go in there and see what they're fighting about today, and sure enough, I guess Octane did not premiere, do a world premiere of the new Motionless in White track, "Afraid of the Dark," which I also didn't play, for it's so new, but Victor did play it this morning, I think, on, uh, his morning show, did a full reaction to it. We're definitely adding it to the playlist right away, of course. It's the heaviest track Motionless in White has released in quite a long time. It's their first track in four years. I think Scoring the End of the World came out in twenty twenty-two, and I played the entire thing from start to finish on the air. No other radio station does stuff like that whatsoever, and it is always funny to see those listeners that get, you know, spoiled by us, and they go, "Why aren't you guys playing this band?" It's like, go to like, you know, The KBEAR in Utah and ask them to play this band. They'll just not even acknowledge you. [laughing] They'll, they'll just continue to play their whole playlist of 1995 classics, you know? So this gu- this guy, Jesse, posted: "What's going on, Octane? Where's the world premiere of the new Motionless in White?" And all these comments are like, "Well, they're premiering the new Sevendust." [chuckles] And y- I'm seeing this battle between, uh, older people who love Sevendust and the, the, the new age, I guess, quote-unquote, even though Motionless in White is not that new. Um, these younger people saying, "Well, no, Motionless in White is better," and it's this whole thing. I remember when I posted a, uh, picture of me with Disturbed and Three Days Grace when I went to that show at the Fort Idaho Center Arena back in February of last year, and somebody got very upset that I didn't acknowledge that Sevendust was in the line-up either. It's like, well, I didn't get a picture with them. Would've loved to, but they also only did a thirty-minute set. They were barely there at the show. You know, Disturbed is the headliner, Three Days Grace, and you got little, tiny Sevendust right there opening up for both of those bands. [chuckles] So-... uh, but Sevendust, I guess, they, they, they must have a diehard fan base, 'cause literally anytime someone mentions Sevendust o- online, there's no hate towards them. It's all these, uh, you know, older people saying how much they, they used to love them back in the day, and they're glad they're still killing it, type of thing. Let's do some Black Label Society. I believe this is one of their newer ones, "Name in Blood," on Peach's Pit Party. [whooshing sound] There was that whole story last year about that guy who got arrested while on the job. He was working at Chuck E. Cheese. He was, in fact, Chuck E., dressed up as Chuck E., and he got arrested for something. I forgot. I'll probably read about it here in this story, but, um, yeah, he was arrested in the suit, and so he was escorted out of the building in the Chuck E. Cheese mascot outfit, and you see Chuck E. getting arrested, and a lot of kids, you know, they were so traumatized by the event. Uh, this 42-year-old man, this Chuck E. Cheese mascot named Jer- Jermel Jones, I believe that's how you say it, pleaded not contest to stealing a customer's Visa debit card from the Tallahassee location where he worked. When police arrested Jones last July, he was still in costume, and, you know, the whole video of the, the arrest went viral. At the time of his arrest, officers found the victim's Visa in his possession, along with a receipt from a fraudulent purchase. Jones struck a deal, though, with prosecutors, pleading to two felonies and a misdemeanor. While those charges could have carried years behind bars, he avoided jail time. Instead, he'll serve three years of probation, pay roughly about $1,600 in court fees, and stay away from both the victim and the Chuck E. Cheese where he once worked. I have no idea what he's going to do from here on out, if he's ever gonna be a mascot for [chuckles] someplace else. It would be funny if he just went to, uh, I don't know, like, uh, let's say, like, Disney World, became a mascot over there. I'm sure they wouldn't even... They, they would see his name, they would know exactly where he's from, not even take a glance at his resume. He- they would just chuck it in the trash. Anyway, that does it for, uh, today's What the Headline, right here on KBEAR 101. [whooshing sound] Just a reminder that on Wednesday, February 5th, at noon, the Greater Idaho Falls Police Foundation will host its annual Law Enforcement Appreciation luncheon at Melaleuca headquarters in Idaho Falls. You'll be able to join community leaders and local businesses. They'll recognize outstanding service and leadership from the IFPD, uh, Bonneville County Sheriff's Office, Idaho State Police. Tickets and sponsorships, I believe, are still available. Proceeds are benefiting the Greater Idaho Falls Police Foundation. If you want all the details on this, and tickets, go, go visit ifpolicefoundation.org. [whooshing sound] So Katie Lee from Z103 just stopped by the studio not that long ago, and she brought in... Well, she, she, she's been doing this thing with Mama's Munchies with Mountain View Hospital. It's this whole promo, um, for expecting moms, where, you know, when a, a woman's pregnant, they, they crave weird foods sometimes. When my, when my mom was pregnant with me, um, she wanted chocolate bars all the time, Hershey's milk chocolate bars all the time. When she was pregnant with my sister, she wanted olives all the time. There wasn't really many weird foods that she wanted. She just wanted one thing, and one thing only, really. So these, uh, people have been sending in their weird, uh, recipes, their weird pregnancy cravings to the Z103 app, and one of them, I guess, the one today was lemon pepper carrots. Carrots covered in lemon pepper season- seasoning. I, I was hoping there'd be more. I had one, and it was awesome. There's some leftover Takis. During the middle of the day, I get this, uh, craving for a snack, and I don't really pack anything, so sometimes I'll see if there's anything just on the counter in the break room. Like, usually there's a box of donuts just sitting there or something. On the counter today, there was this, uh, half, half-full bag of Takis. I'm like, "Okay, I'll suffer through these." I got that red stuff all over my hands. I can't tell what's worse, the spice from the Takis or the red residue that you get, uh, afterwards, the Takis Fuego. Um, pretty good. I haven't had one of those, uh, haven't had those since, uh, really, high school. I, I, I don't count the whole Wendy's Fuego meal that we tried, where it was, like, the Wendy's fries and the Wendy's chicken sandwich that was covered in Takis dust. Uh, uh, we did do- we did that whole thing on social media not that long ago. It's up on, uh, up on our page @kbear101fm, if you wanna watch that video.
