A replay of Peaches Pit Party which you can hear on KBEAR 101 weekday afternoons 2pm - 7pm MST
A little more than 2 weeks till Christmas, December 9, 2024. Hope you are doing well. It does not feel like it's almost 2 weeks till Christmas. Really, it doesn't feel like that at all. I've seen the cool lights, and I've seen people's, Christmas displays and all that.
Just doesn't feel like it this year for whatever reason. Maybe it's because of the situation that I'm in. I don't know. There's not there's not a particular situation that I'm in. I'm just living by myself.
I set up the Christmas tree. I have the gifts below the tree that my parents shipped out here. There's nothing really different at all. It's just, for some reason, does not feel like it's almost Christmas. It's very weird.
Anyway, if you wanna get a hold of me, you can over at 208-535-1015. I hope your weekend was awesome. Mine flew by as per usual. I looked at my clock on Sunday afternoon and realized, well, got another full week ahead. We gotta I gotta mentally prepare myself for another bunch of work to do, meetings that I don't wanna go through, people that I don't wanna talk to that I have to talk to, you know, that type of thing.
It's one of those. But, oh, during the weekend, I did spend a good majority of it playing the new Indiana Jones video game. It is awesome. I I'm so glad there's finally a new great game out there. You know, all the past titles that have been put out this year, even Black Ops 6, not all that great.
Black Ops 6 is hilarious to me right now because they thought they could get away with putting in this artwork that is 100% AI generated. They're doing this merry Christmas thing with zombies, and there's a zombie clause. And if you look at him, he has 6 fingers on one of his hands. Same with this, gobblegum situation they're doing with the the zombies mode. 1 of the hands and one of the photos has, like, 8 fingers on it.
Like, they're totally clearly just using AI in putting that into the game. No effort at all to come up with their own artwork. And I'm wondering if we're gonna see more of that in the future, if we're gonna see these AI mishaps. You know? I'm sure we will.
But Indiana Jones, that game has been fun so far. I can't wait to go home tonight and play it. It even has puzzles in it, and, usually, I hate puzzle games. But this one, I've been really just trying to figure out the different different parts of it. Like, there was these different numbers, and you had to open up the tomb below the Vatican.
It's pretty cool. It I and what's funny is that I have not seen any of the original Indiana Jones movies. The one Indiana Jones movie that I have seen is that terrible one, the crystal skull one from years ago. Yeah. Watched that movie.
And back then, I was like, that was fun because I was a kid. And now it's considered one of the worst Indiana Jones movies, one of the worst movies of all time just because of how awful it is. But, haven't seen any of the original. This game is really making me wanna just binge watch all of those movies in a row, for sure. So like I said before, 208-535-1015, that is the number to get a hold of me.
I'll be right back with The Offspring, Gojira, and more to continue Peach's pit party. Idaho's on the rock station, cabair 101. I do have a weird sense of humor, and I was looking at this article here about how United Airlines is now offering free flights to the, quote, unquote, North Pole for kids in need this Christmas. The flights that will depart from 13 cities around the world this month will see the kids and their caretakers board a plane that will briefly take to the skies and circle around before landing at a gate decorated to look like Santa's workshop. Now in my head, I was thinking, what if there was a sick pilot on board?
And he was like, you know what? I'm just gonna actually fly to the North Pole, land this plane here, and just drop these kids off and take off. That was the dumb joke that I had in my head just to see the reaction of those kids and their caretakers. Like, oh, we're actually at the North Pole. He makes them jump out of the plane and parachute to the ground and just land in the North Pole.
And that's it. Alright. Yep. United Airlines offering free flights to North Pole. Like, what if just one of them?
I again, stupid joke. I know. I just saw that. It's a very wholesome thing, and I'm just making a dumb joke out of it. A super cool thing that I saw get announced earlier today was the band The Used.
They announced this, this tour, and I thought it would just be a regular tour. Turns out it's a 25 year anniversary tour that'll be making 3 stops in a whole bunch of cities. Three different stops each night. Like, there will be 3 nights in one city, 3 nights in another city, so on and so forth. I saw Salt Lake City actually is going to be a part of that tour.
May 3rd through May 6th, they'll be at the Union Event Center down in Salt Lake. They'll be doing 3 different albums, 1 per each night, and I thought that was extremely cool. Now I don't think there's an opener because it says the shows start at 8 PM. Most likely, it is just the used doing those albums in full, then doing a bunch of other hits afterwards, maybe just a couple other hits afterwards, and that's about it. But you can find those 3 shows on our concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar.
Now is the perfect time to give somebody, concert tickets for Christmas. You might as well go to our concert calendar, see all the ones listed for next year there, find which ones you like, which one you do like. Maybe there's none of them. Maybe it's a complete wet or waste of your time, but know that any single time a tour gets announced that is coming to Boise, Salt Lake City, or even right here in the area, It'll be posted on that concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com. And this right here is your shot clock sports update.
Even though the New York Mets, they had the highest team payroll in Major League Baseball for the 2024 season, they found a few more bucks to sign Juan So to to a record breaking 15 year, $765,000,000 contract. The deal makes So to the highest paid player in baseball history as the deal exceeds the $700,000,000 contract Shohei Ohtani signed a year ago and the difference between the 2. Now I'm not really familiar with Juan So to's game, but I know he's not nearly as high up as Shohei Ohtani is 15 years, $765,000,000 to play baseball. If you're a young kid hearing that right now and you see that news or you hear about that news and you go, maybe it's my time to really practice my craft, try your hardest. Try to see if you can make it to the major leagues and get a contract like that.
A reported 72,000 fans showed up at MetLife Stadium yesterday to watch the New York Giants lose to the New Orleans Saints in heartbreaking fashion. Those fans also got to see an airplane flying over the stadium dragging a banner addressing owner John Mara that read, mister Mara, enough. Please fix this dumpster fire. The Giants are now 2 and 11 and are suffering through an 8 game losing streak. When asked about the fix this dumpster fire banner, the head coach Brian Dabble responded by saying, look.
We've won 2 games. I'm not happy either. And for the most part, that guy is most likely going to be fired. That's the that's what happens. The head coach always gets fired.
In professional sports, all the blame goes to the head coach, not the professional athletes out there on the field. It's always the head coach's fault. Late last week, stories were swirling about a sports gambler who placed a $3,100,000 bet that the Philadelphia Eagles would beat the Carolina Panthers. That bet paid off, but not before a bit of drama at the end of the game. The Panthers were fighting for a chance to overtime to get to overtime before time expired, but the Eagles prevailed.
So instead of losing $3,100,000, the better ended up taking home about $443,000. Still better than nothing. How about a 4th update here? A special 4th update. On January 6th, WWE Monday night Raw will be broadcast for the first time on Netflix.
And during a recent interview, Triple h, who serves as the WWE chief content officer, let it slip that Pat McAfee will be a part of the broadcast team and paired with Michael Cole. I thought that was pretty cool. I'm excited to see how Raw will look on Netflix if it if it will even be worth watching. That is it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on KayBear 101. If the kids haven't given you their Christmas list yet, you really should bug them for it.
My parents bug me every single time at the end of November, and I go, oh, here you go. Here's a few items that I want. And I think this year, for the most part, I just wanted some new clothes. I just went through both my closets and was, like, getting rid of this, get rid of this, get rid of this, and, only have a few shirts and pairs of pants left. I also, well, asked for a new bedding, a new toaster air fryer that I talked about in a previous show.
You can find that conversation on a previous Peaches Pit Party podcast. That's available on demand wherever you get your podcasts, but it is almost 2 weeks till Christmas. There's still a lot of shopping to be done if your kid hasn't given you the, Christmas list as of yet. My my Christmas list, like I've talked about on the show many times, has devolved over the years. Back in the day, I would ask for video games and different expensive items.
And sure enough, this year, it's just like, hey. Can I potentially get some new bedding? That'd be cool. Oh, yeah. And some socks?
That would be that'd be great as well. Now I'm genuinely curious about this. Does anybody know anyone that works for PETA? Every time I see news about PETA, it's always something bad. They're protesting something, boycotting this, going against that or whatever.
I just saw this article about PETA protesting Nosferatu for promoting shameful stereotypes of rats, and I'm thinking, does anybody know anyone that works for PETA? And are they the least liked person in your family? Like, when Thanksgiving comes around, the holidays in general come around, do you not invite them because you know for a fact they're just gonna be a complete and total, utter party pooper? Are they actually following the PETA rules of being vegan and all that? This whole shameful stereotypes of rats is, like, what are you even talking about?
They are criticizing the film for perpetuating harmful stereotypes, but emphasizes that rats are intelligent and social creatures and should be respected. Do they glorify ratatouille? Are they saying, like, that's how rats should be treated? They saw that movie and went, oh, yeah. Sure.
That's that's how rats should be in the cinema. What Did they rats as a whole, they're dirty. Are they mad at New York for trying to get rid of the rats? Because New York has a giant rat problem. I was just reading the story about how this, wedding proposal, this marriage proposal, was upstaged in the worst way possible.
There's a rat that just completely ran through. They're at this beautiful place in New York City. I'm looking at a photo right here. It's like a it's like a archway with a whole bunch of plants around it. Sure enough, rat just comes running through and completely ruins the moment.
It's all over TikTok. No. It's not it's not an archway. It's they're underneath a a giant cool Christmas tree right there in downtown New York. And sure enough, I do see the rat.
A giant rat right there just runs across. PETA, stop with the boycotting. Stop with the protests. It's, again, such a terrible organization. As a kid growing up, I've always wondered how other families do Christmas because there was always this tradition that we would wake up first thing in the morning, go downstairs, or do the big reveal, I should say, that Santa came and there's presents all over the living room.
Our stockings were full, and we would open stockings first. We'd take out whatever is in our stockings and then, sure enough, eat breakfast, then go to the living room and open presents. That was our tradition, still is our tradition. And I've always wondered how other families do it. I have heard other stores go, really?
You guys do that? Like, you guys open presents before Christmas? I have the patience to where I can just wait until December 25th. I feel like I'm breaking this almighty rule if I open Christmas presents beforehand. This family living on a sailboat, they do Christmas in a in a different way.
They embrace that minimalist lifestyle. They have how many how many kids? Four members. There's those 2 kids. Instead of chocolate, they use small surprises like stickers, seashells, stationery, and notepads is what the mom said.
Interesting. Yeah. I'm trying to think about it because it's like, how do you you must have a PO box somewhere, and then you just go to that PO box whenever you're like, okay. I need to check the mail, see if anything important has come through. But then do you take the sailboat out into the open water and then just live out there?
Do you live by the dock? It's very different. They put up a small small tree. Well, I'm hoping they do because you can't put a giant Christmas tree on a sailboat. They play Christmas music.
Do how do the kids go to school? Like, that's a very unique thing. I wonder if, like, other kids wanna hang out with those kids because they wanna see what it's like to live on a sailboat or be on a sailboat? Like, hey. Come back to my place.
Oh, sure. By the way, I live in a sailboat. Wait. What? And then you take them back.
Do they have rooms? I I'm I'm so curious as to how this all works. Forget Christmas. I wanna see what it's like everyday life for this family living on a sailboat. Peach's pit party on Kaybere 101 at a hose only rock station.
Smelly foods, do you simply just say, hey. They don't bother me at all, or do you throw a big fit when you smell something like tuna on an airplane? I had some coworkers get so upset with me back when I worked at TMZ because I would have, tuna sandwiches for lunch sometimes, or I would bring in, like, a can of tuna and put it on top smear tuna on top of a cracker and eat that for a snack. It's a very healthy food, a lot of protein. It's good for you.
Well, this dude named Xavier Torrance, he instead he instead of going up to the passenger that was on the plane with him eating the tuna 7 saying, hey. This this really smells. Can you please put that away? He instead pulls out his phone and records a TikTok of the guy eating the sandwich and then posted about it, complaining about how he was stinking up the entire plane. I feel like that's a much worse move to do something like that, to record somebody than complain about them and sort of make fun of them online because you know commenters are gonna be ruthless on any social media platform.
That poor guy probably even know. He probably was a nice guy, would would wouldn't mind putting a sandwich away, but instead he's just getting made fun of online because now this video has acquired more than 700,000 views. And maybe I don't know. It's it's tough to say because I feel like if you're just wanting a tuna sandwich, you're just gonna eat it. Like, I think I've eaten a tuna sandwich on a plane before.
Got no complaints. That was before TikTok, though. Maybe somebody has a video of me eating a tuna sub on a on a on their phone somewhere. And they're like, man, screw this guy eating smelly food on the plane. Who does he think he is?
There's this story making the rounds about how this, Thanksgiving host wants to cancel the Christmas get together because her guests took all of the leftovers on Thanksgiving, and she was very mad about that. The anonymous woman wrote on Reddit that she made 2 turkeys, a ham, £20 of mashed potatoes, and 2 pans of stuffing. However, the next morning when she was craving leftovers, she opened the fridge and stood there in shock. It was empty except for a bag of turkey wings and half a bag of dressing. Her husband said he saw guests leaving with unopened desserts, gallon bags of food.
I don't wanna host Christmas because of this greedy behavior, she wrote. Usually, when I go to, like, a Thanksgiving gathering with my family, my extended members of my family, they're trying their best to get rid of all the leftovers. They don't wanna have any single one of them. They're like, hey. Please get this out of my fridge.
I just spent hours prepping it, and we expected to eat all of it on Thanksgiving. Now if there's all these leftovers all these leftovers, just take it with you. To to each their own, to peach their own, I guess, with the situations like this. I, for 1, would just be glad. Well, I don't know.
Maybe I would want, like, some leftover thing. Maybe, like, put some to the side or something next time instead of throwing a big fit and posting on Reddit. Peach's pit party on Kaybarrow 101 at a hose only rock station. I I saw this whole article talking about how some men married to Taylor Swift fans cannot deal with their wives' unwavering love for the pop star, and it can lead to blow up fights, tears, and ultimately divorced. Could you imagine?
Yeah. I divorced my wife because she's too big of a Taylor Swift fan. I'm sure the contrasting music tastes is hard to deal with, but that's what you have to deal with when you're trying to get married to somebody. My parents have complete opposite music tastes. My dad, ACDC, classic rock through and through.
My mom, REO Speedwagon, Journey, likes now Andy Grammer, more of, like, today's pop stars even too, her and my sister. We talk about them quite a lot. And I'm, like, just the black sheep where I'm like, yeah. I like modern middle. They call it, you know my parents are calling my music screamo and stuff or my mom doesn't even call it that.
She calls it the r music because I I showed her Lorna Shore one time. And it like, for some reason, those types of vocals gross her out. So if I ever wanna, like, just antagonize her, I'll turn on a little clip of, I don't know, Phil Boseman doing his heavy vocals, and she'll be like, Stan, turn that off. Turn that off. My sister, diehard Taylor Swift fanatic.
Good luck to anybody that wants to, try and date her because I know she will not give up her Taylor Swift fandom. That's for sure. My sister's been to a lot of different Taylor Swift shows, has the merch. Of course, she likes other artists, and she's not gonna have this, she's not gonna make it a part of her personality at all. Maybe that's what this article is trying to aim towards, those women or those people overall, I should say, that just have Taylor Swift as part of their personality?
Worshipping a celebrity. Now I did see another study that popped up somewhere saying worshiping celebrities shows, was it lower intelligence in people? I I thought that was an interesting read. I didn't talk about it on the show. I just found this whole article funny.
You gotta deal with contrasting music tastes. You know? Maybe listen to I don't know. Maybe listen to a podcast when you're in the car together or something like that. Or I don't people will have a compromise.
People will find a compromise. There you go. Not all couples are getting divorced because of Taylor Swift. I I tell you right now, though, the weird news category in the radio prep just literally has Florida man doing this, Florida woman doing that, Florida family going through this, and then animals on the loose. Or or I do see here, another truck just crashing on the freeway, spilling a whole bunch of, melted chocolate all over the freeway in California.
But I found this story even more ridiculous than that. Of course, a Florida man involved this time. Police in Florida have arrested a man who was found inside a stranger's house with no pants and in possession of a carpet cleaner. Yeah. Cops say they received this 911 call from residents of the home saying they were awoken by a loud bang at the front door.
They then found a man in the living room wearing only a shirt, no pants or shoes. They also noted that he was holding a carpet cleaner, a carpet cleaner that belongs to the owner of the house. One of the residents yelled at him to leave. The man dropped the cleaning device, ran out. Officers arrived to the area within minutes, arrested this 23 year old who had no pants on still.
He told them he had no recollection at all of breaking into a home because he was on meth. That that's the explanation right there. Again, like I said many times before, you could add this guy as a GTA 6 Easter egg. So many Florida stories. It's it's utterly it's utterly it's it's ridiculous.
I just saw here that it's Christmas card day. I decided to send out my own Christmas cards this year, gave one to Victor. I still need to give one to Jade as well, Gave one to Josh from Classy, Josh and Chantal from Classy. And then I also just sent out a whole bunch to my friends and family back home, some friends here. And now I have this ongoing list for next year's Christmas card recipients, just every everybody's mailing address on there.
And I wanna come up with a more creative one next year. Unfortunately, this year, there was not really that much snow or snow at all, especially in certain parts. So I was trying to, have this funny picture of me in the Hawaiian shirt with a boogie board out in the middle of the snow saying, Merry Christmas from tropical Idaho. Thought it would be funny to do something like that, but there was no snow where I wanted to take this picture. And I think I would have had to set up my phone and, like, put it on a 10 second timer, then run out to the middle, sit myself down or stand myself up and try to pose for the picture.
I just figured it would be a whole lot easier to just Photoshop something together from photos taken throughout the year and then use those. Everybody's been liking my Christmas card so far. A lot of my friends out of state, sent me pictures of the Christmas card on the counter saying, hey. Thank you. By the way, it's it's looking good.
Took me forever to get that thing printed. If you're not aware of that, I talked to you all about that on the, on another Peaches Pit Party episode. You can find that show on demand wherever you get your podcasts, just in case you wanted to hear that whole scenario there with trying to get it printed from from from Walmart. And, man, that thing, that took forever. So many different phone calls.
Way too much of a hassle. I think next year, I might just, well, we'll see. We'll see. I'll have to just figure out if I wanna still go through with Walmart next year because it is the cheapest option, but is it worth going through all of that again? No.
Definitely not. If you have a Christmas card, I I would say send it to the Kaver studio. We should do something like that, collect listeners' Christmas cards. I I I might post that. I might post our mailing address on Facebook, say, hey.
Mail us your Christmas card. We can get them hung up here in the studio off to pass that by Victor and Jay and see what they think about that. I did see the big news earlier today that system of a down is doing 3 different stadium shows across the country. They're teaming up with different bands at each stop. I think one of them was Avenged Sevenfold.
That was that was in, Chicago. I did see they're teaming up with Deftones for another Korn for the other one. I'd I forgot which one was which. I think Korn was with the one in Toronto, and the other one, I forgot what the third one even was, but because it's not relevant to the area. So I was, like, oh, it's not coming close.
Forget about it. I did talk about how The Used is doing their, 3 nights in each city tour, 3 albums in each city tour. 3 of those, stops are gonna be in Salt Lake City. I thought that was pretty cool. In May of next year, those shows are on our concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar.
Guns and Roses will be back on the road next year. The group posted a video on social media this past Saturday that announced a world tour 2025. Didn't include any specifics. Now I did see a poster making the rounds that was supposedly leaked from them, and it was more so just a whole bunch of stops overseas. And there was nothing here in the US.
We'll have to see if they even come here. Who actually wants to see Guns N' Roses now is beyond me just because, I mean, they're kinda like they're they're the same boat as Motley Crue. Axl Rose doesn't sound the way he used to. Slash, I'm sure still kills it, but Axl Rose still, I I consider the Kanye West of rock and roll, one of the biggest d bags there is in the genre for sure. He seems like it for 100%.
But, yeah, if you wanna go see any concert that is coming to our area, go check out our concert calendar. Riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. Alright. It's debate time for Tapish Their Own. We were discussing this question on the noon hour of madness and mayhem powered by Jalisco's.
We were discussing overall controversial questions to ask on Facebook to get people to talk within the comment section. And this question right here, I was I was was figuring, you know what? This is perfect for the type of scenario that I'm in every single time I go to a concert and somebody buys the seats or I'm forced to sit in a seat. I am not the biggest fan of seats at any venue because they're always small. The one place where the the seats have been actually pretty big is the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater, formerly known as the USANA Amphitheater.
But other than that, places like the Rose Bowl, The Forum, the Mountain America Center, any single venue has super tiny seats to where I feel like I'm partially sitting off of the seat when I do sit in it, and my knees are digging into the seat in front of me. Sometimes my knee is to the back of somebody's head in front of me. But sitting or standing at a concert, should you respect the seated rows or standing fair game at any show? Now for me, I am 6 foot 9. If the person in front of me stands up, I'll have to stand up, and then those poor people behind me will then stand up and still only see my back.
And I apologize to every person that sits behind me or stands behind me at any concert because it sucks. Why would you spend money to just see my back? And, luckily, Dave relates to my situation. He put in on our in our comment section on the main Facebook page, Kay Barrett 101 FM, at almost 7 feet tall. Everyone around me would love if I sat down.
I usually sit unless people in front of me block my view than I'm standing. My exact same situation there. And I did see some people going back and forth. Andrew, respect the seated rows. If you wanna stand, get tickets in a standing area.
Not everyone can stand or sit for an entire concert. 208-535-1015. What is your stance on this for the peach throne? Should you respect the seated rows or standing fair game at any show? Let me know right now.
