00:00:00,080 --> 00:17:01,062 [Speaker 0]
[upbeat music] Check, check, check. All right. Well, it's a very, very, very windy pre-Friday, AKA Thursday, March 12th, 2026. Jeff, w-we're, we're both not gonna fly away from this wind, I can tell you that much. I'm not too worried about it. Uh, [laughs] I, I did get moved slightly. I did, too. Going on my lunch break. I, I had to take, like, two steps to the left. Brace myself. It, it, it grabbed my hood and ripped it over my head a little bit. [laughs] And I couldn't see for a second. Uh, what's it called? Uh, we used to have this joke called, uh, the Jade Kite. [laughs] Where we would tie him to a whole bunch of strings, have him fly around. I'm a little worried about Melissa down the hall. Same with Maddie. Kennedy as well. Yeah, I told Kennedy to put some weights in her pockets before she went to lunch. This is the perfect day that if you are, uh, very skinny, uh, wear some ankle weights, the heaviest ankle weights that you have, and, uh, make sure not to fly away. I'm hoping that we're able to stay on the air during the time that, uh, [laughs] Jade is not in the office. We've only had the power go down once today. Really? Yeah. It's gone down? Yeah. When? Oh. It, it crashed for a second. Okay. Well, well there's that. So, yay. And, and of course, like I mentioned, Jade's not here today and also not here tomorrow, so it's gonna be a fun day if all of a sudden... Because, uh, it always happens during my show. That, that sounds about right. There, there's a glitch with Next Gen that happens every so often where it start... It freezes, so then it starts to loop the audio, whatever's playing. Oh, yeah. So sometimes it would be me on the air talking. Sometimes it would be like, uh... There was one... There was a w- there was one time where the song just kept repeating the same chorus. Oh, it was Puddle of Mudd's Psycho. [laughs] That's what it was. It just kept repeating that chorus over and over and over again. But overall, the reason why you are in here is because I told you that I... Well, I had to drive home on my lunch break, um, because one, I had leftovers in my fridge, and two, um, there... My Dayseeker poster finally showed up. Whoo! I bought it back in early February, and I was a little worried that it was gonna be flying away, seeking for another day. I-I was trying to make a joke out of the whole wind situation, but- Yeah ... it failed. But, uh, no, luckily my front door is, uh, hidden by a, a corner. Like, it's, it's hidden by a wall. Yeah. So it was just fine sitting there. Oh, that's good. That's good. So I, I brought it anyway just in ca- just because I wanted to unbox it on camera here to hopefully get Dayseeker's attention. [laughs] That I spent $30 on a poster. [laughs] And, and, you know, I'll get that social media, uh, verification that they repost it on their story. Yeah. I get, I, I get that, uh, validation. That's the word I was looking for. I get that validation that I was looking for. [laughs]  They reposted me on their story. They acknowledged me. That's right, it's Peaches Pit Party. Um, if you wanna see a video of me unboxing the poster, I, I'm sure I'll get it up soon on all social media platforms at KBEAR 101 FM. I'm sure there's a few hundred trampolines flying around Idaho Falls as I speak. Uh, I saw the post from not that long ago from East Idaho News. Uh, reports of home damage, trees falling, sign damage, power poles down between Bonneville and Fremont Counties. A whole lot of pictures they're posting. Yeah, one signal, uh, right there on... Is that Broadway? Yeah, just completely off where it should be. [laughs] I was a little worried. Close to, uh, Idaho Falls High School. I take Holmes all the way back to my place, which is also the bane of my existence every single weekday at 5:00 PM because it's just every single time I go home, there's everybody else trying to do the same thing, and it's a one-lane street, so we, we move at a snail's pace. What used to be a five-minute commute is now, like, 20 minutes. But yeah, that street's awful. And, uh, those, those, uh, lights on those strings right by the high school, boy were they, uh, getting ready to launch. And I was really worried driving under them that today would be the day, and I would be the extremely unlucky individual to have a massive signal just fall right on my car, and have to explain to my insurance that the Idaho wind is the reason why my car got severely damaged. I, I, again, I'm glad Jade is not here today. Otherwise, we would have to, uh, seriously unleash the Jade Kite. Uh, tie him to a couple of strings, have him fly around in the sky. I was legitimately worried about some other people here in the building who are, uh, let's just say, uh, pleasantly skinny, that could have flown away. I know Victor's still out there somewhere. I don't know if he's, uh, at home hunkering down, or if he's on his way back here, but, uh, hopefully he's okay. You know, he has, he has that, uh, sturdiness to him, I should say. But, uh, yeah, there's a high wind warning. I was reading also more at East Idaho News. Um, the National w- uh, Weather Service office in, uh, Pocatello says winds of 30 to 40 miles per hour with gusts up to 60 miles per hour are, uh, forecast from 9:00 AM this morning to 9:00 PM tonight. So it will be going all day long. Uh, officials say the strong winds could make travel difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles such as trucks, trailers, RVs. You know, the winds may also cause isolated damage to trees, power lines, signs, and small, uh, outbuildings, along with the possibility of scattered power outages. Um, yeah, all, all the good stuff there. If you wanna learn more about it, eastidahonews.com, that's the website to go to. I had plans tonight for Aubrey to come over. I'm like, "Hey, the wind's gonna be bad. Let's just do a personal night. Let's just both stay home and just wait for tomorrow when the winds are hopefully, hopefully nothing like this next Guns N' Roses track on KBEAR 101." Nine Inch Nails right there, As Alive as You Need Me to Be. They're gonna be at the Delta Center tomorrow night. I'm sure a lot of people, uh, who, uh, spent a lot of money on tickets here in the area are gonna be headed down that way. Those who are, uh, financially blessed, I should say. I, uh, did not want to spend the money on the tickets. 'Cause in radio, you get tickets for free for the most part. There's very ever... There's very rarely ever a time where you have to go out and buy tickets.I was close to buying tickets for, uh, Tool when they came to the Mountain America Center, but then I'm like, "You know what? With the perks of my job, they should have given us some comp tickets. They're making, uh, the radio DJs pay, too. I will not support them. I will not give them my money. I will stay home that night." Sure enough, doing the exact same thing tomorrow because [chuckles] well, I, I also just didn't wanna take, uh, some extra PTO off and, uh, you know. It just... I, I, I wanted to save that for another time. Maybe for when I wanna go on a nice spring vacation and, uh, go out, go back home and see my family and all that. I am planning on going to Slaughter to Prevail, Whitechapel, and Attila in about two weekends on the 28th over in Boise. Hopefully, I'll see a good amount of listeners at that one as well. Go to our concert calendar anytime at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar, or there's a shortcut to it via the KBEAR 101 app. It dawned on me earlier today that today is the last day to sign up for tickets to go to Emo Nite Brooklyn down in Salt Lake City on April 17th. It's just an emo party. There's a, uh, DJ blasting the best emo tracks. You just get to party all night long. During the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, we were talking about that one guy that, uh, that was looking for goth girls. Maybe they would be at, uh, at that. Emo Nite Brooklyn, The Complex in Salt Lake City, April 17th. If you wanna win tickets to that, make sure to sign up within the apps before tomorrow morning. Sign up on the KBEAR app. You can just sign up there if you want. Earn yourself that one entry. Or you could also sign up on the Alt app or the Cannonball 101 app. Sign up on all three. Get yourself three entries into the drawing for Emo Nite Brooklyn, again, at The Complex, Friday, April 17th. It's Peaches Pit Party now with Tom Morello featuring Caleb Shomo of Beartooth, "Everything Burns." I like how it says Miami (Ohio) heads into the Mid-American Conference tournament today. Miami, Ohio, not Miami, Florida, uh, with a chance to extend their historic unbeaten season. The 31 and nothing Redhawks were just the sixth team to run the regular season table since the fields were expanded. The field was expanded to 64 teams in 1985. It has been a unique season with some controversy about their, uh, strength of schedule, and plenty of sports, uh, talking heads, those sports talking heads, saying they don't deserve a trip to the NCAA tournament. Insiders say that even, that even if Miami, Ohio, doesn't finish undefeated, the selection committee will still likely include them. No eligible team with two or fewer losses has missed March Madness since 1985. If you've been following the Big 12 basketball tournament, you've seen the games being played on a dazzling LED glass floor. That might look great on TV, but it seems to be failing the players because while the high-tech surface allows for flashy in-game graphics, the players say it's slippery and it's, it's giving them headaches. In the high-stakes environment of March basketball, the Big 12 may have traded something reliable, tried and true, just simple hardwood, for a shiny light show. I remember back in the day playing basketball against, uh, schools like Long Beach Poly. Uh, most of those schools had slippery ice rinks for basketball courts, and they were awful. I can only imagine some giant, flashy, shiny screen below you as you're trying to focus on the game. It would be awful. Are you ready for some football on Thanksgiving Eve? The NFL is considering scheduling a game on the night before Turkey Day. That w- This would e-expand the number of Thanksgiving games to five, as the league already schedules a triple header on Thanksgiving Day and one game so far on Black Friday. As expected. As expected, Iran is withdrawing from the 2026 World Cup. Considering the chaos going on over there and considering the United States is hosting a number of games, Iran's, uh, sports minister, Ahmad Do- Dondomali, said that it was not feasible for Iran to send a team to the U.S. in just three months. That does it for your Shotclock, Shotclock sports update. I almost said Shock, Shotclick sports update [chuckles] right here on KBEAR 101. I wanna sort of, uh, get serious here for a minute because I saw this post from the official Rexburg Police Department Facebook account. This is not a parody. This is not a meme account. This is the actual Rexburg Police Department Facebook account. Um, it goes to say, "Do you believe that mental health is a concern in our community? We're about 70 days into the year so far. In that time, we have responded to 38 calls specifically for individuals in mental health crisises and 88 welfare checks, most of which are related to mental health issues." It goes on to say, "Check our math. That totals to 126 mental health calls so far, which is close to two per day. Our officers are trained in responding to mental health calls, but we don't pretend to be dedicated, uh, mental health professionals. In these calls, our goal is to ensure the safety of anyone involved and connect the person with community resources to get them the help they do need. If you ever need help, call 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. If there is an immediate safety risk, immediately call 911. If you know someone experiencing a mental health crisis, please speak with them, listen, encourage them to seek help. We are willing to get involved." This is what the Rexburg Police Department is saying. "We are willing to get involved when necessary, but for a lot of people experiencing a crisis, having cops show up to your home can be pretty traumatic. Don't suffer alone. Reach out." Yes, that is the easiest way to get help. 988, or if it, if, if it, if it's a dire emergency, call 911. All right? Just wanted to point that out here on Peaches Pit Party. Now, with Linkin Park, "Heavy Is the Crown." So I briefly mentioned this on the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. Uh, Morrissey canceled his, uh, his concert in Spain because he's a little tired. Yeah, he's sleep deprived. That's actually his reason that he put out there. He, he was saying that, uh, he couldn't sleep in the hotel due to the loud noises happening overnight, I guess, so he canceled the entire show. I wonder who was causing that much noise to disrupt Morrissey's sleep cycle.And that now he just ruined the night of I don't know how many fans were supposed to be at that concert, but the whole thing's done. He even said he needs like a year to recover. I, I do believe him when he says that because I, I talked about this on the show previously that he holds the record for cancellations. Over two hundred and eleven canceled or postponed, uh, out of six hundred and thirty-nine scheduled shows since 2012. Can you imagine that? He has canceled or postponed over two hundred out of the possible six hundred plus. Probably all due to the same dumb reason. Like, "I'm a little tired. No, thanks. I'm not feeling it." You know, that type of thing. I almost feel like i-if you're dealing with a musician like this, the, the tickets should be way cheap because it should be treated as if it were like an unreliable airline. You know how some airlines, they're, they're about fifty percent happening, fifty percent not. Morrissey's about sixty percent not happening, forty percent not. You can buy a ticket for twenty bucks. Who knows if you'll get a show? [whoosh] If you've ever used Uber or even just filed your taxes, this story is a little unsettling. There's a growing problem where, uh, people are getting tax forms from Uber for money they never made. Turns out scammers are stealing identities, using them to set up fake driver accounts, so someone out there could literally be driving strangers around using your social security number. Uh, one couple got a tax form saying they made nearly seven thousand dollars driving for Uber, except they've never driven for Uber in their lives. Uber says, uh, fraudulent accounts are rare, and they shut them down when they find them, but it still leaves people stuck trying to explain for the IRS why their side hustle apparently involved picking people up at two AM. Nothing like discovering you've been working a second job, and you didn't even get the paycheck type of thing. You know, if you receive some weird document in the mail, make sure to double-check it. Don't fall for a scam. I've been talking a lot about scams as of late. [whoosh] What was that movie I watched recently with Mel Gibson? He plays an overnight radio DJ in Los Angeles. It wasn't recently. I think it was at some point early last year, maybe like around a year ago, I watched this horrible movie [laughs] with Mel Gibson. Yeah, he's this overnight LA radio DJ. He's allegedly a legend in this movie. And he, he drives... He do- he does a live overnight shift, which you don't necessarily see in radio anymore. For the most part, in overnights, you'll get some type of a late-night syndicated show. Maybe you'll just get... But mostly you'll just get music overnights. But you won't have this actual, like, live DJ going from midnight to six AM. It would be awesome, though, if we had around-the-clock DJs right here on KBARA 101, but the best we can do is Victor in the morning, one hour of us together during the midday, and then me in the afternoons. But yeah, this movie with Mel Gibson, it was horrible because he, he was able to cuss on the air, which obviously you can't do on terrestrial radio. He was dropping some F-bombs, all the, all the seven Ron words you can't say. You know, that, that whole thing with George Carlin. And he, he was also... I should have known the movie was, was gonna be bad from the beginning when he was driving to the, uh, the, the radio station and, well, [laughs] there was no traffic. And he's supposed to be an LA radio DJ. There was absolutely zero traffic on the road. No matter what time of day it is, it is always going to be clogged in that city. Plus, there was nobody on the sidewalk, nothing. Should have known it was bad then. Then when he showed up to the radio station, there was like somebody working the front desk that late at night, which obviously does not happen, I don't think. Even when I was at iHeartMedia, I think the person at the front desk was there from like eight AM to five PM, and then after that, the building is considered closed until the next day. The reason why I'm talking about this whole thing is because I saw this question get asked, "What is a job that looks incredibly fun in movies but is actually miserable in real life?" And I'm not trying to say being a radio DJ is miserable. Sometimes when you have to deal with a tedious project it is, like ranking songs or, uh, trying to outline a budget, that type of thing. That-that's when it gets bad. But it's nowhere near downright horrible. It's a, it's a fun job, all right? So I wanted to look more into the answers here for what is a job that looks incredibly fun in movies but is actually miserable in real life. I see the top one right here. Lawyers. They're always making passionate, high-stake arguments in front of juries in the movies. Ninety-five percent of lawyering is paperwork in the real world. I wouldn't know, but of course, Hollywood has to make it entertaining, right? You can't just have a movie or a TV show about a guy doing paperwork the entire time. A spy. [laughs] A spy. Spies, a, just, it just says spy. That-that's it. All right. [laughs] That's a good answer. Bartender or chef. I feel like Gordon Ramsay 

00:17:01,062 --> 00:17:07,742 [Speaker 0]
has, has made it worse for chefs because he, I, I believe, uh, you know, he, he kind of made it 

00:17:07,742 --> 00:21:42,202 [Speaker 0]
[sighs] to, to be loud and mean in the kitchen, that's the way you're supposed to do it. And so there's probably a lot of Gordon Ramsay copycats that are just berating their employees, berating their cooking staff, and the rest of the staff are just miserable. I'll have to ask my friend Andy, how, how miserable is it actually? How miserable is it to be a bartender? I wouldn't think it's all that miserable. Uh, from what I've heard, being a man... Okay, I can't say that answer. That answer is, uh, uh, it, it would get me in trouble. You know, let's just move on. Forget this whole question. Let's play some Three Days Grace, uh, Kill Me Fast. [whoosh] All right, this story is a little preview of the future, and honestly, it's terrifying. If you, if you remember what middle school was like, um, I remember back in elementary school in fifth grade. It was my last year being in elementary school, obviously, before I went into middle school. And I had this teacher, this, uh, controversial teacher at the time by the name of Mr. Wynn. He had a, a little bit of an attitude. And I wondered why back then he was so mean to kids, or some kids at least. He was nice to some, mean to others. Obviously, he was mean to me because I was the only ten-year-old in that class that was the same height as him. And I think it's the only ten-year-old he'll ever see that was the [laughs] same height as him. But, uh, yeah, he picked on me.Uh, uh, what's it called? He didn't really pick on me. At the time, I thought he was just full-on picking on me. Now that I think about it, he was more so trying to guide me to be better. At the time, I was obsessed with mechanical pencils. For what reason, I, I don't exactly know. Like, I knew the models of certain ones. I, I had all the lead types. I had .5, .7, .9 even. Yeah, I had all these different mechanical pencils, knew all the names, everything, was trading with other students, and Mr. Wynn knew how obsessed I was with mechanical pencils, so that way... So then he had my mom... He, he had met with my mom, uh, after school one day and told her, "Brendan's not allowed to use, uh, mechanical pencils anymore." So then I cried. [laughs] I cried. I went to my room. I had this, uh, dry erase, uh, map of the United States on my wall because back in fifth grade you had to memorize the state capitals, abbreviations, and where they were on a map, that whole thing, and so I, I used that to study. And so I put an arrow putting me in Southern California, and I put an arrow, uh, for, for, for, like in as far away as possible, like on the coast of Maine. I put him over there, and I started, like, yelling at him, yelling at a dot on the map because that's what you do in fifth grade, apparently. But right now, currently, there's a lot of talk, uh, about AI deepfakes. You know, fast-forward to 2026, that's where artificial intelligence can generate a video or audio clip of someone saying something they never actually said. The technology basically stitches together images, voices, and patterns until it looks real. Right now, people worry about it in politics or scams, but I'm telling you, the real danger is potentially, like, middle schoolers. I mean, picture this. Like, some cr- some kid has a crush. Another kid starts dating that crush. The jealous kid goes home, opens an AI app, types a few words. Suddenly there's a video of their rival saying something ridiculous, like, "I hate pizza, puppies, and this particular girl." [laughs] And next morning, that video is circulating through the group chats, and boom, social life destroyed before first period. Now, back in our day, if someone stole your crush, you wrote dramatic, like, lyrics in a notebook or listened to sad rock songs, kind of like how I did when my mechanical pencils were stolen. Oh, man. Well, those were the times, I guess. [whooshing] All right, we got today is What the Headline with, uh, that reminder that when you're driving, uh, make sure not to be texting on your phone. Also, don't watch YouTube while driving. I shouldn't have to say that because it should be very obvious. But this, uh, California Highway Patrol officer lucky to be alive after a close call with a, a YouTube viewer. The officer was responding to a three-car accident on Highway 101 in San Mateo, was pa- was, uh, parked on the shoulder. He, uh, lit some flares and closed off the right lane. Somehow a driver in a pickup truck didn't notice the, the, the flares or the flashing lights and managed to crash right into the back of a patrol car, narrowly missing the officer who stepped out of the way just in time. The, uh, driver told officers he had been watching YouTube on his phone, didn't notice the flares or the cars on the side of the road. Amazingly, he wasn't hurt. It's unclear what charges he's facing. But I also really wanna know what YouTube video that guy was watching. 

00:21:42,202 --> 00:24:56,541 [Speaker 0]
Wa- was he watching some sort of a tutorial? Was he watching some sort of, like, weird, like, analysis video? Was he watching some sort of conspiracy? I would love to know. Can, can, can we find out this guy's YouTube history just so I could find out that answer? [whooshing] It is KBEAR 101 Peaches Pit Party, Bring Me The Horizon. They filmed their concert in São Paulo. I forgot where São Paulo is. Is that Brazil? Yeah. Okay. Oh, okay. [laughs] I was like, "I'm not dumb, am I?" [laughs] I thought, I thought São Paulo was in Brazil, but then I was like, "I m- I might need to double-check that before I say 'Hey, it's a city in Brazil,' and someone goes, 'No, dude, it's Chile, you idiot.'" Anyway, Bring Me The Horizon live in São Paulo, Brazil. Uh, they recorded that whole concert with drones and cameras and... Oh, of course with cameras. Uh, with drones and some s- some fun stuff. All right? They recorded the whole concert. I should have just said that. Uh, they basically put you right into the crowd if you watch this movie that they... Uh, forget it. Okay? Bring Me The Horizon, live in São Paulo. Um, that whole immersive concert experience, I should have said that from the start, is being shown at Regal Edwards Grand Teton in Idaho Falls March 25th and March 28th. If you wanna win tickets to that show, um, we'll give away some more tomorrow morning, maybe tomorrow throughout the entire day, 'cause we still have a, a couple of codes that we would like to just, you know, give out to those who really wanna go. When you hear that cue to call, be Caller 15 at 208-535-1015. Should be a fun time, especially for someone like me who hasn't seen Bring Me The Horizon at all live. This could be the closest you could, uh, ever do so. This could be the closest you could... You c- you can before they, they come back to Salt Lake City, Boise, or even hopefully right here in East Idaho. Let's play some "President Destroy Me" on KBEAR 101.
