Alrighty. Here I am. It's Peaches Pit Party on this, uh, very dreary and gray Monday. It's a very empty office inside the building here. I mean, we have most of the staff, don't get me wrong, but without Victor, without Jade, it kinda feels like K-Bear's only filled up by one person. And that one person is me. [laughs] And, uh, I don't know. It's, it's just one of those days where I feel like the weekend should've been longer. This is why we should have three-day weekends. There shouldn't be Mondays anymore. There should be Tuesday through Friday, four-day work week. If you wanna get ahold of me, you can over at 208-535-1015. That, uh, well, we talked about it on the Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem. Maddy and I were in here talking about the, uh, Set It Off Tour with Fame on Fire, Vanna, and The Pretty Wild. I was, uh, trying my best to line up an interview with The Pretty Wild, and their record rep said, "Hey, ask me that question again middle of next week." So, I said, "Sure." Usually when they say that, it's just a reminder, it, for them to try and get it all set in stone, but
literally, right as we ended recording, we, right as we stopped recording the Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem, [laughs] I looked at my phone and The Pretty Wild put out this long letter. And, you know, any time a band does something like that, you're, you're kind of in trouble. They decided to step out, leave the Set It Off Tour, and replacing them will be Autumn Kings. I've already seen Autumn Kings. I don't necessarily want to, uh, see them again that soon. They're great and all, but I was definitely excited for The Pretty Wild. Very disappointed, but, uh, I'm gonna try my best to get the, uh, the two girls from The Pretty Wild on Zoom at some point. Get an interview in with those two because they, uh, seem to be on the, uh, what's the, the up and coming? They're, they're, they're an up and coming artist. And, uh, I'm definitely gonna try to interview Set It Off again. They're the three nicest dudes you will ever meet. Ever. Cody is awesome. I, I will always say make sure to support Set It Off because, uh, th- they, they grind hard to get where they are. Same with the Funeral Portrait. I mean, Bad Omens grinded their butts off, and it seems that there's a, uh, tour. There's a rumor, rumored tour
that could be happening, and there might be a stop in Salt Lake City. Victor and I talked about it on the morning show, and it would be awesome to see Bad Omens again. Really. Uh, I, I saw them when they were at the Union and
Noah's Voice wasn't necessarily there, so they had to have the guy from Era do the harsh vocals. They had to have the guy from I See Stars do the clean vocals. Noah tried his best. I was very thankful they didn't cancel the show, because at that show, I interviewed Jolly of Bad Omens. And if they canceled, that whole thing would've been thrown out the door, thrown out the wi- uh, uh, out the window. And my conversation with Jolly did happen. That's, uh, that's available on demand wherever you get your podcasts. Places like Spotify, Apple, et cetera. You can also find Peaches Pit Party anywhere podcasts can be found. We'll continue here in just a few on this, uh, very cold, dreary Monday. Hopefully, this, uh, this station can warm you up, I guess. One of those dumb, uh, radio surveys. Well, surveys ma- m- done for radio purposes, if that makes any sense. Like, "Oh, 42% of people say this is about Halloween," you know? And then, then there's, there's supposed to be a discussion based off of the survey. This one popped up about never being too old to celebrate. 62% of adults aren't willing to let the kids have all the fun on Halloween. Instead, they want to embrace and celebrate Adulthood. No, just call it Halloween. Just say, "Forget the kids." I mean, the kids can be a part of it, but I never understood those people that said, "Aren't you a little old to be trick-or-treating? Aren't you a little too old to be trick-or-treating?" Like, buzz off, lady. It's none of your business. That type of thing, right? Again, I was always the bigger kid. Always the taller kid. So, from like, I don't know, when did I start trick-or-treating? Real young to like age 10, maybe?
I was always asked, "Aren't you a little old to be trick-or-treating?" My mom would have to come to the front door and say, "Hey, he's eight. He's just the same height as you, you know? [laughs] Give him some candy." There's no need to ask that stupid question. Stupid questions are stupid, all right? Just give the people candy. If they're at your front door, they say, "Trick-or-treat," hand them the candy. All right? That's the way that it should be for Halloween. There's no need to ask stupid questions. You can ask them what costume they are, but don't ask them, "Aren't you a little old?" "Aren't you a little, like, old to be here handing out candy?" [laughs] There are some old people out there that are just all up in your business, and they shouldn't be. Really, they shouldn't. Just mind your... Pass the candy... Okay, I've repeated that way too many times. But going on to the survey here, moving forward into the survey. 71% believe Halloween belongs to grown-ups too. 54% believe they deserve their own hal- adult Halloween night without childcare responsibilities. After dealing with friends who have kids and just hearing the chaos, it kind of makes you veer towards the direction of never wanting kids, 'cause I was hearing all these horror stories about kids drawing on the walls, things like that.And I'm a guy who doesn't like my stuff touched whatsoever. Really. I wanna have kids in the future, don't get me wrong, but I don't wanna be that parent that says, "Oh, my kids are going to behave," and I end up being like the drill sergeant dad, 'cause I wanna be a mixture of, like, the fun dad, and then also the mean dad at the same time, where I'm like, "Hey, if you touch the wall with a crayon, you're gonna be sitting there cleaning that thing until it's spotless." And I've seen these, like, horrible videos online of kids
breaking the TV. I- I see that video from time to time where there's, like, this four-year-old kid that is swinging a bat at the living room TV, and he utterly shatters th- th- the screen, and ruins, like, a very expensive giant TV.
That right there would make anybody never wanna have kids, ever. But still, overall, the- the- the point of this break was to simply say don't be that person on Halloween that says, "Aren't you a little old?" Just hand out the candy. [graphics whooshing] I didn't hear any feedback whatsoever about the, uh, Dayseeker album being played from start to finish on Friday. Hopefully, everyone enjoyed it, played their new album, Creature in the Black Night. Is it Creature in the Black Night or Creature in the Black Light? Creature in the Black Night, right? For some reason, it popped up in my head that it could be Creature in the Black Light, and I look like an idiot trying to say, "Hey, where's your feedback?" And I say the album name wrong, but no, Creature in the Black Night from Dayseeker. I played that entire thing from start to finish on Friday during the 5:00 PM hour. Hopefully, everyone enjoyed that.
I was looking here about, uh, this whole- this whole article about vacation days, about how one in four American workers did not take a single vacation day this year, even though most have access to paid time off. Because it's a mix of guilt, pressure, overloaded schedules. You know, some employees feel that they've- they have too much work that they can't miss out on. Some worried that- that are f- some are worried that they'll fall behind. Another portion said they'll- they'll feel guilty about leaving their team shorthanded. Now, I'm more selfish when it comes to coworkers taking the day off. Like, when Victor takes the day off just to, you know,
rest or whatever, I'm like, "Well, there goes the noon hour of madness and mayhem," you know? I have to do it by myself. That's an extra hour of solo radio that I have to do. Luckily enough, the mad dog, Maddy Kid, was able to join me today. But, you know, it's like for my own selfish reasons, like, "Hey, stay here and do this show," [laughs] that type of thing. But if people wanna take the day off, I mean, go for it, right? You have those, uh, you have that PTO, use it, all right? I used to be that guy. Well, I still am that sort of dude. Like, if I'm feeling 100% and I feel like I can show up to work, I'll show up to work. I don't hate my job. I love it, you know? If this was In-N-Out Burger, I'd be saying, "Hey, any PTO that I have, I'm gonna use." [laughs] I hated working there. I hated customer service.
And another- another portion of people on the survey thought their, uh, boss would react negatively if they took a full week off. Jade is the only guy that says, "Hey, you know, take some more time off," to me. [laughs] You know, sometimes I come in on the weekends, and he's like, "Dude, go home. Enjoy the weekend." I think the next time I plan on taking a week off is the end of, uh, the end of the year. After Christmas, I will, uh, hopefully take a nice week-long vacation, take my girlfriend with me to k- Southern California, have her see the ocean for the very first time ever. She'll get to experience a California winter where it's below
60 degrees outside. Not negative 60 degrees outside, just 60 degrees, maybe 55. Everyone in California's screaming, "It's a little chilly outside. Maybe I should put on my giant winter coat." I hate when people say it's chilly outside. Just it's cold or it's not. You know, it's a little, it's slightly chilly. My friend Matt, w- my friend Matt, my friend Christian and my- myself, we went to this place called Erewhon. It's that uppity, uppity Los Angeles store. We decided to go in there just to see how expensive and laugh how stupid the whole store is. And Matt had the nerve to say, "It's a little chilly in here." And I went on this rant like, "Dude, you would never survive an Idaho winter where it's -10 sometimes.
You would never survive." But he's from Florida. I could never survive the humid, disgusting weather that Florida has. Maybe when I'm older, I'll like the heat more, but I hate the heat. A- and I'm from Southern California, and it's like I hate when it's above 75 degrees outside. I wanna have the AC blasting. I wanna have my room feel like the Costco, uh, dairy department, where it's freezing. I- I fall asleep in a very cold room. Oh man, I hate the heat. I- I'm kind of excited that the, uh, colder weather is here, but at the same time, I could- I could go without the snow. [graphics whooshing] If you haven't signed up for Make the Switch with Brent Gordon Law, make sure to do so. We're giving away a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle, just to make the time change a tad bit easier. You know, we fall back an hour this weekend, which I'm kind of happy we gain an extra hour of sleep, but I do know daylight saving time messes with people's hearts. And after going through the whole AFib heart thing, I'm worried every year that, all of a sudden, my heart's gonna be like, "What's happening?" And freak out.
But, you know, I- I take it day by day. I get- I get enough rest. I- I sometimes eat better. I need to eat better all the time. But I take my pills. I do what I can to make sure my heart doesn't go crazy. Knocking on wood,
after me saying that, watch what happens, you know? Something dumb just goes out of whack one day. I have to leave work. No, thank you. Do not wanna deal with that ever again.AFib is no joke, all right? I always tell people, you know, I used to be the guy that would drink energy drinks all the time. Now I'm the guy that says, "Hey, stay away from them." You know, Maddie Kidd from across the hall, uh, Katie from Z103, they're all addicted to Red Bull, and I'm like, "Hey, you should really, you know, be careful." I'm like the dad now where I'm like, "Hey, be careful. Don't be drinking too much caffeine. It's bad for you. You don't wanna end up like me and, you know, wake up one morning or wake up in the middle of the night, all of a sudden your heart's going 140. It's going extremely fast." But anyway, back to daylight saving time. [laughs] Let's, let's make this break a fun one by saying, hey, make sure to sign up to give away a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle. Sign up in the K-Bear app, sign up in the Alt app, sign up in the Cannonball 101 app, and if you have the Cannonball 101 app and it keeps crashing, you have the old one. You need to download the new one. We had to do this thing where we switched over to a new Cannonball 101 app. I know, it's very unfortunate. First world problem, you gotta download a whole new app just to listen to Cannonball and also sign up for contests. Make sure to sign up once per app. Don't be that person that signs up like 16 times on the K-Bear app and I have to delete 15 of those entries and just give you the one, 'cause it's a waste of time more so for you than it is for me. I just have to hit that little garbage can and go delete, boom, done. All right, sign up in the apps and then listen for the Mario Sounder on the air, Be Color 13, when you hear it at 208-535-1015. Make the Switch once again thanks to Brent Gordon Law, giving away a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle, a Nintendo Switch 2 with Mario Kart attached to it. [swoosh] The World Series moves to Los Angeles tonight for game three. Of course, tensions are high between the players as everything is still on the line for a championship after a long season. Two players might have a little less pressure on them, Blue Jays infielder, Buddy Kennedy, and reliever Jose Ureña. I don't know how you say his last name, Ureña? That's because both of these guys made appearances for both teams this season. That means they are theoretically eligible for World Series rings regardless of how the seven-game series goes down. I wonder what it's like in the locker room for those, uh, for those guys. Do they just say, "Hey, you know what? We'll try our best. Hopefully we'll win. If not, I still get a ring, you guys get nothing." [laughs] Over the weekend, all eyes were on the World Series games being played in Toronto. Starting tonight, baseball fans can enjoy watching the big games being played in the second-best baseball city in America. At least, that's what some number crunchers at WalletHub figured out. They looked at the, uh, energy and successive teams in Major League Baseball, as well as Minor League and college teams in hundreds of cities in America.
Los Angeles is number two, New York number one, Atlanta number three, St. Louis four, Boston five, you know, pretty much the biggest cities in baseball, their cities. Boston Red Sox, St. Louis Cardinals, Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Angels, Dodgers. It's weird how the Angels are considered Los Angeles even though they're in Anaheim. Or as I like to call it, Ana-crime, 'cause, you know, tons of crimes happen there. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim never made any sense to me. But that does it for your Shot Clock s- sports update right here on K-Bear 101. [swoosh] I figured we could go down this list together. What are your biggest regrets from your 20s? We have a lot of listeners who are older, we have a lot of listeners who potentially could be teens, you know? There's people of all ages who are a part of the K-Bear Rock Army. I myself, I'm leaving the 20s next year, going right into the 30s, which is hard to believe that next year I'll be 30 years old. And then I al- every time I think about my age, I always hear that listener in the back of my head, "Oh, you're so young. I wish I could be 29, 30 again. I'm 72." Where's the old car horn? Should I play that real quick? [car horn blaring] No, that's gonna interrupt the music bad, forget about that. But I figured we would go down this list here. What are your biggest regrets from your 20s? Not saving or investing sooner. Compound interest is no joke. Yeah, definitely take advantage of your, uh, of your, uh, what's it called? Of your savings. You know, put everything in your savings. You know, spend some money for yourself. Treat yourself every once in a while, but, you know, for the most part, save up what you can. I myself cannot wait till my car payment is officially done. Really, I can't. The car payment absolutely sucks and I'm getting closer and closer, but it still feels so far away, you know? Not taking more w- uh, risks and worrying too much about what others thought of me. I always think about what others think of me. If there's that one subtle comment that some person makes negatively about my show or something like that, it sticks in my head, you know? And I shouldn't give that power to the haters who don't necessarily know me. They just hear me for five minutes and go, "Oh, I don't really like this guy 'cause he insulted one of my favorite things," or something like that, you know? What are your biggest regrets from your 20s going down this thread here? Not enjoying my social college life at all. Yeah, I graduated very early. I graduated at 21, went to college at 17, 'cause I turned 18 my first day of college. It was, uh, I don't know. I went through school really fast. I tried my best to enjoy the time while it happened, but at the same time I hated assignments and I didn't necessarily want to deal with running a club on the side of all of my homework, you know? Drinking nearly the entire decade. Now here's the thing. I myself have never drank anything. It's not for religious reasons at all. It was just something that I never really wanted to do. I was always told by the DARE program in elementary school that, you know, alcohol is poison, don't touch it. And so I have never touched it, but then I'm considered the weird one for not drinking. I've been called the weird guy for not doing so. I've gotten those stupid looks from bartenders every time I've ordered o- uh, just a water, maybe even a Shirley Temple. They go, "Oh, that's what you're getting?"Like, what do you want me to do? Be- be- be the manly guy and get a shot of whiskey? Pull out a syringe and do- do some meth? I don't know. What- what do you want me to do? Like [laughs] if I don't drink, it's my business, not yours. Don't be that person that's like, "Oh, that's a weird thing to do, Peaches." My friends from back in high school never really invited me to those parties 'cause I wouldn't drink. I would just sit there and chat with people. For some reason, that was just not what they wanted at the party. What do you want me to be? Burt Kreischer? [laughs] It's a pretty nice thread there. Eh, it's- it's okay. Just a dumb break, you know? Our K-Bear Rockin' Halloween is Haunted by JuCity Vapor. You know, this Friday, nonstop Halloween music. Very excited for that. Let's continue with some, uh, Halloween music. Type O Negative, Creepy Green Light on K-Bear 101. [screen swooshes] Peaches Pit Party right here on K-Bear 101. Be extra careful when, uh, carving pumpkins this week. I'm sure there are a lot of people who have already carved pumpi- pu- pumpkins, hopefully safely, of course. I was looking at this here article that nearly 50%, five-zero, of pumpkin-related knife injuries will happen this week. The US sees about 2,000 emergency room visits per year related to pumpkin carving accidents. And they're pretty much all in the month of October. You see a few stragglers carving pumpkins in like, what, maybe November for some reason? I don't know. That number only includes the people who actually go to the hospital, so the total number of pumpkin carving injuries is, uh, much higher. I know if I cut myself and I get that deep enough cut, I'll be running right to the emergency room. A study found your thumb and index finger are the prime targets. Roughly 60% of carving-related cuts involve one of them. Many experts just suggest ditching real knives altogether. Those flimsy orange pumpkin carving tools that come in kids' kits are designed to be dull enough not to slice through fingers. That's good to know. This week, I- I know we plan, me, my girlfriend Aubrey, her friends, Maddie from down the hall, we plan on doing a group pumpkin carving, uh, night, which sounds fun, right, from the- from the start. But then when you really get down to it and you're trying to pick a design for your pumpkin and you put it on, and you're like, "What did I get myself into?" Why exactly am I carving this intricate of a design into a pumpkin, when you know four days from Halloween it's gonna rot right there on your porch? And it might in- it might attract random animals to all of a sudden feast on it. You know, squirrels come and vi- uh, come and infest your, uh, patio. Maybe a deer, if you live out in the country. All of a sudden, a bear [laughs] is just at your door. I know that wouldn't be the case for people living in the city, but I mean, for those who are out there in the middle of nowhere, who knows what could happen?
Maybe the pumpkin's all of a sudden ... Maybe you do want to leave it out to leave as a nice treat for the animals. You know, y- but you put your hard work into it. You get it posted on social media. That's all that matters, right? If you didn't post it on social media, and you just carve the pumpkin, and it sits out there, what are you even doing? You know? But deseeding the pumpkin, getting rid of all the seeds in the inside, getting rid of all the guts. Oh, the dr- that's, uh ... I don't know. That's just gross to me. It's almost like what I talked about last week, those fears of things that aren't necessarily scary. Putting your hand in something like that. Putting your hand down the drain, putting your hand inside the pumpkin. But at least you can take the seeds out and, uh, bake the pumpkin seeds. That could make for a nice snack. [screen swooshes] I was going to repost this image on our socials at K-Bear 101 FM that, uh, Johnny Frank of Bill Murray shared on the band's, uh, Instagram, the band's social media pages as a whole. It's a great picture. But Johnny Frank, unfortunately, you know, giving us the, uh, one finger salute. And if I reposted that on the, uh, the company's Facebook page, Instagram page, whatever page it is, I'm sure that would be, uh, a talking to and that would be a violation. 'Cause, you know, no swearing on any one of our pages, but, uh, it's a- it's a hard photo. I mean, you got Johnny Frank in the pic. You got Noah Sebastian of Bad Omens in there, Cody of Wage War, Jeremy of A Day to Remember. I believe the other guy is also a member of Bad Omens as well. So
says here, "Songs written," check, "Album kinda hard tbh." So
I'm assuming that, uh, they're all collaborating on an album together. I mean, if that's the case, that's gonna be an epic album. I mean, Bill Murray, obviously very fun, Bad Omens, Cody of Wage War. I would love to see what that session is like musically. I mean, Cody from Wage War has produced a ton of tracks for other bands. Noah Sebastian, I mean you saw the behind-the-scenes footage of him recording The Death ... th- th- The Death of Peace of Mind, him clapping sandals together, coming up with different beats for those songs. Would love to see how his mind all works. I mean, all this pic is pretty much missing is just Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails [laughs]. And it would be like the Mount Rushmore of, uh, music producing. Well, not necessarily. I mean, you still got ... Who was the one guy that did everything? Uh, Rick Rubin. You got him who's, like, the king, the godfather of producing. You got Trent Reznor. Who else is high up there? Rick Beato. I mean, this is more so just, like, the up-and-comer crowd, but still, I think it's awesome that all of those guys are together, hopefully producing something that'll be, uh, I don't know, iconic, hopefully. Let's continue Peaches Pit Party here with Avatar, Tonight We Must Be Warriors. [screen swooshes] The Devil Wears Prada with Everybody Knows for It's So New here on K-Bear 101. Their new album, Flowers, will be released November 14th. I played Flowers when it was first released. Also, did we play Ritual when that came out too? I forget. There's so many songs that I have played on the new music feature, and I feel like right now, we're getting every single band all at once. You ever watch a Fourth of July fireworks display and you see the grand finale, and then all of a sudden it just ends, and then you have to go home?That's how this time of year feels, because it feels like everybody right now is releasing new music that... Who wants to, who wants to release new music, they're releasing all that they can. And then November comes around, December comes around, and it's dead quiet. And all of these bands take a holiday break or they do some writing. They, uh, just maybe spend time with their families. Who knows? But there's hardly any music that gets put out there during the winter months, which sucks because It's So New sort of becomes, "Hey, you've never heard of this band. They have three monthly listeners on Spotify. Here's their latest track." Which, I mean, that's also a good thing for a lot of up-and-comer bands. Just saying. You know, if you're in a, if you're, if you're in an up-and-comer band, make sure to release your new music during the wintertime so that way a majority of the audience who wants something new gets something new. It's So New, weeknights at the top of the 5:00 PM hour right here on Peaches Pit Party. I was looking at our Facebook page last week and looking at our most viewed videos, and for some reason, that one time that I shared a video of people getting this, uh, botched surgery where they, uh, sort of de-age themselves. Like, you'll see an old person look normal, and then all of a sudden they have this procedure done to where it looks like they took somebody else's smooth skin and put it over their face. And it looks so disturbing, [laughs] so disturbing. It grosses me out. Like for some reason, I can't have cheese after watching that video. And I'm over here scrolling Reddit, and next thing you know, another one of those videos, not the same one, another one of those videos with a Vietnamese doctor
who ha- who's wearing the surgical outfit. It feels like the... It looks like the procedure's already been done, like it just happened. And he gets up and does a whole video where he's like, "Hey, I got a facelift, got a neck lift." I, I look... He looks a whole lot younger, but at the same time, he looks like
a filter has been permanently put over his face. They show the old picture of him, [laughs] and he honestly looks better old. You know? Somebody made a great point in the comments. So I just imagine this face, like a very young face on a 70-year-old's body with, you know, drooping areas, liver-spotted hands, but they look young too, so he... [laughs] He look young too, so he got the facelift deluxe package, you know? They must have done the neck too on this guy, 'cause yeah, his neck doesn't look all that old either. But I mean, your face and neck looks normal. No, it doesn't look normal, but looks young. And then all of a sudden, the rest of your body just looks like an old person. You gotta age naturally, age gracefully. Don't get this surgery. I feel like I should just put on some, uh, lotion, and if it does... If it helps me out, I put on that daily moisturizer. I don't know, I always feel like those, uh, face lotions, they might mess something up. I always feel like those, uh... The- here's a conspiracy theory for you. The skincare companies are actually going to, uh, wreck your face more than just, I don't know, keeping your face au naturel. Age with grace, overall. That is the message. Slayer right there is part of our K-Bear Rockin' Halloween, haunted by Juicity Vapor. If I'm not mistaken, Slayer is headlining the, uh, Sick New World Festival, one of the festivals, actually, happening Saturday, October 24th, 2026. Basically a year from now at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. It's System of a Down, Deftones, Slayer, the third biggest act on the bill. 40 years of, uh, Raining Blood, which I'm assuming if they're doing something like that way later on in the year, there might hopefully be a tour announced before then. Maybe. Hopefully. Maybe Slayer will do some sort of, uh, 40 years of Raining Blood Tour. Local venues, I'm looking at you. If Slayer could come to the Mountain America Center or the Portent of Health Trust Amphitheater, that would be [laughs] fantastic. But you know how, uh, booking tours goes, especially when Live Nation's involved, it's kind of, uh, tricky, unfortunately. But, uh, yeah, if you do wanna go see Slayer as well as a bunch of other bands, you should go to Sick New World. Let me know how that goes for you. I've always wanted to go to a festival. I feel like Texas during that time of year would actually be pretty okay compared to, like, what, July? Isn't there a band called Texas in July or something like that? 'Cause it's so brutally hot. They always choose the worst places for most festivals. I'm talking, like, what's that one in Ohio? Isn't it... Is it, uh, Incarceration, Sacramento, California, Aftershock? That one's not too bad. Uh, California's weather is pretty consistent, especially, I don't know, towards Sacramento, I feel like it's pretty consistent. Southern California, it's basically 80 to 50 year round. Even if it gets below that, it doesn't necessarily feel all that cold just because it's California, you know? But anyway, yeah, there's that. Sick New World, Slayer,
Texas Motor Speedway next year. I, I have never been to a festival. Do I plan on going to the one in the near future? Hopefully. Maybe I can go with, like, a media pass and go interview a whole bunch of bands. That would be awesome. But I can't imagine preparing for that many interviews. All of a sudden I have to interview, like, 10 bands in a row. You have to just sit there, and the bands rotate in what they call, like, radio circle or something like that, where you get, like, 10 minutes with the artist and every single person's asking the band the exact same thing. You know how it goes. Anyway, if you wanna know what is coming to our area next year, make sure to check out the concert calendar. It's always available to you at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. Artificial intelligence may sometimes be smart, but it's not perfect. It often makes mistakes. I was literally just trying to make it do something that I'll talk about after this. A high school student in Baltimore learned the, the hard way that AI can make mistakes when he suddenly found himself just-... staring down the barrel of a police officer's gun. Now, I saw this headline over the weekend. I couldn't believe it. Investigators say football practice had just ended at Kenwood High School. 17-year-old Taki Allen, his name's Taki, just like the chip. Taki Allen was hanging out with teammates and snacking on a bag of Doritos. Suddenly, alarms went off, sirens sounded. Eight police cars rolled up and officers jumped out with guns drawn. Allen was ordered to get on the ground. He was then cuffed and searched. It turns out that a new AI-powered gun detection system mistook Allen's Dorito bag for a weapon. The system flagged the image of it from a school security camera, triggering a police response. Allen was eventually released when officers realized he, uh, he wasn't armed, just, you know, had some nice n- ... A nice bag of chips. The incident is sparking questions about the reliability of AI in high-stakes situations. Get rid of it. All right? [laughs] Get rid of it. If you have a situation like this pop up, or if that was like my kid just eating chips and all of a sudden there's police just arresting him for no reason, yeah, get rid of that AI. Make ... I would take my son out of that school, to be quite honest. I was just trying to get ChatGPT to make a, make a picture of me and my girlfriend look more 1920s-esque, because we went to that Halloween party over the weekend, and it was 1920s themed. And I'm like, "Hey, just make it
... Just gim- just give it a 1920s look to it." And it altered the way that I look. It altered the way that she looked. AI, completely unreliable. That is today's What the Headline, right here on Cave Era 101. [air whooshing] You know, back in the day when I was on the dating apps, users would gloss over the truth, with fake or photoshopped profile pictures. The idea, of course, was to do what you could to get conversations rolling, right? If you weren't cheating with a, uh, few white lies sprinkled in your profile, you weren't trying back [laughs] in the day, right? I mean, there was a lot of people back in the day that would ... I'm sure they still do it now, but I m- I say "back in the day" sarcastically, of course, because, you know, it wasn't that long ago. But these days, people are chat fishing, which means they're firing up AI and letting the robot do the talking for them. Something that I did for quite some time, something I still do. Like, if I all of a sudden get a message from somebody that I'm like, "Okay," or maybe some, like, family member that I don't necessarily talk to and they're just trying to check in, I might enlist the help of ChatGPT to do the talking for me.
I think this is a South Park episode, 'cause every time I bring this type of thing up, Victor tells me about that. And I've never seen the episode myself, but I guess people are using ChatGPT or AI as a whole to assist them with talking on these dating apps. Industry insiders say that AI has gotten so b- has gotten so good at making boring people sound more exciting, and that most people so far aren't able to figure out if they're chatting with a person or a bot. Usually, if you see a whole bunch of those hyphens, you know, like those lines that shouldn't be there, that's ChatGPT generated. Yeah, hate to break it to you. If you, if you're talking to somebody right now on a dating app [laughs] and it looks like maybe there's too many hyphens in that paragraph, you m- might be talking with ChatGPT. It's almost tedious to do that type of thing. Like, "Hey, help me, uh, continue this conversation with somebody on, like, Tinder," for example. And you copy their message, put it into ChatGPT, say, "Give me a great reply to this." And then you copy the reply from ChatGPT, paste it back to the conversation. It's a whole bunch of copying and pasting. And then you also have to tell ChatGPT, like, "Hey, make sure to add, uh, this as part of the response, and this and this," and all of a sudden it becomes way worse, way more advanced compared to just talking to the person.

I have to be honest with you that I'm kind of afraid with winter approaching. You know, snow coming down. I gotta put the snow tires on. And even then, I'm just like, I'm afraid of something happening again, like what happened last winter where I got rear-ended by that 16-year-old. I was waiting at a red light, took me a little bit to stop. I had to pump the brakes, you know, to get my car to come to a complete stop. But all of a sudden, boom, comes this, uh, other car right into the back of mine. Had to pull over to the side, on sunny side out of all streets,
completely to the side so I wasn't in the way. Then I had to be on the phone with insurance, and meanwhile it's pouring snow, and it was just awful. I had to drive a, a Chevy Malibu, which is one of the worst tiny, tiniest little cars you could ever drive. But it was the only rental they had. Rental companies, think of tall people when you, uh, you have, uh, options. You know? Think ... Maybe get a car that is reserved only for those 6'5" and above, you know?
I was looking at this East Idaho news article. "Nearly all roads in Yellowstone National Park, south of Mammoth Hot Springs, are closed after a powerful storm created treacherous driving conditions and led to dozens of wrecks across the park." Last night, I was at a little... I was at a little hangout with my girlfriend and her high school friends, and all of that. And, uh, they, th- ... Her friend lives, like, on this dirt road, and trying to drive on that when it's pouring rain and stuff, I was kind of nervous. 'Cause I, I think I was fine before, but then once that one thing happens, then I become a little bit anxious. The snow tires really do help. If you're contemplating getting them, get them. Don't listen to those people that are like, "Oh, I just go with my all-season tires, and they ... I like to just glide on the street." You know, you make one driving mistake, and then you get labeled as the terrible out-of-state driver. And it's like, "Meanwhile, that person has had eight wrecks in the past year," that type of thing. But they're totally fine, right? Makes no sense whatsoever. But yeah, be careful driving out there with these, uh, you know, with winter approaching. You know the dreadful S-word that is snow? That coming our way too. Gotta be extra careful.
