All right. We're safe for now. Dolly Parton, she's not dying, all right? She's doing just fine. Her sister just went online yesterday basically saying, "Hey, keep Dolly in your prayers. She's not doing too hot." Well, she... She just meant that, you know, Dolly was kind of sick or she was going through some sort of thing that wasn't necessarily life- threatening.
And so when she tweeted that out, or wha- whatever platform she put it on, everybody freaked out, including me. I ran to Justin. Was like, "Justin, Dolly Parton's dying." [laughs] And then this morning, Dolly Parton's sister said, "Uh, yeah. Sorry for the, uh, the over-exaggeration. She's not dying." And then Dolly herself was doing commercials for the Grand Ole Opry, posted a video saying, "Hey. I'm still here. It's October 8th. I'm alive and well." She's 79 years old. She looks great. And I hope she continues to live for a very, very long time. It sucks her husband died earlier this year, back in March. They were married from 1966 to this year. That's a long time with somebody.
Usually, if you lose somebody like that who you've been with for that long of time, it's extremely difficult and usually the other person goes, but, uh... Yeah. There's a... Wow. What a great way to start the show, talking about Dolly Parton potentially dying. I don't even know if I can say the name of the celebrity, Richard Van something, on the air. Can't even say his first name, I don't think [laughs] on the air. I'm sure I can, I just don't wanna put... Say it and then all of a sudden I get in trouble. The dude from Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and, you know, other various works. He was making a joke online yesterday. Or he just said yesterday, I don't... I don't think he was online. He just joked and said, "Hey, what if I don't make it to 100?" He's 99 years old. Imagine that. Born in 1926. Incredible. To live that long, really. 1926 to now, what a difference. W- how crazy would that be? What is he like at self-checkout? What is Dolly Parton like at self-checkout? Do they use it? Do they have people shop for them? I would love to have that life. If you wanna get ahold of me, you can over at 208-535-1015. It is Peaches Pit Party, right here on KBAR 101. All right, if you were let down by the rapture not happening last week... Was it last week? I don't know. I kinda forgot all about it. There's always somebody who goes online and says, "Hey, the end of the world's coming soon." Then it doesn't happen, and then they go, "Oh, my mistake. We used the wrong calendar."
That's what's happening right now. People claim the rapture is back on for this week because the wrong calendar was used. It wasn't a false prophecy after all. And in fact, the day of retribution has been rescheduled. Just a couple of weeks ago, we were told that the world was supposedly set to end on either the 23rd or 24th of September, this, uh, article says. But both of those days obviously came and went, we're all still standing, you know. So the people who had been peddling the rapture theory on social media were p- were left pretty, uh, red-faced when it never came to pass, especially as people had, uh, had been selling their cars and belongings in preparation for it.
Are you kidding me? Why would you sell your car? What's the money gonna do? Like, what's that profit going to do [laughs]? Nevermind. What, wh- like, you sell your, you sell your car for $8,000. Then what? What's gonna happen after that? You take that 8K and do what? Go to the, like, the preparedness store and buy a whole bunch of stuff? I don't think anybody out here really has a giant bunker. There might be. There might be somebody out here. One person.
Is there that one person in your life you know that has a giant bunker where you could potentially survive the rapture? Uh, I l- I forgot who started the whole thing last, last time, but yeah, it was that South African pastor. He was one of the loudest voices pr- proclaiming that the end of the world was, was here. And he boldly declared he was a billion percent certain that it would take place last month.
So I wonder what's gonna happen now. Has he showed his face in public since then? Or is he in his house like, "Oh, man. I shouldn't have said that big of a percentage. Maybe I should've, uh, [laughs] said..." It, it could happen. It potentially could. KBAR 101, I don't know about you, but I've been getting multiple countless videos, uh, of people... Uh, of AI generated little clips here and there [laughs], of people using, uh, Sora 2. I think it's called Sora 2. Might just be Sora, they might have just gotten a new update, I don't know. I tried downloading the app for it yesterday during the show just to see if I could maybe make a video or two, just to see how it would do, you know. There's been a lot of these dumb videos making the rounds, like I've talked about many times already, how Martin Luther King Jr., everyone's parodying him. Everyone is, uh, having Stephen Hawking participate in the X Games. They're going up and down a ramp with him [laughing]. I shouldn't laugh, but it's... [laughs] It's, it's quite funny. The w- the worst thing I've seen, though, is that people are sending Robin Williams' daughter, uh, AI videos of her dad, which, I mean, that's a messed up thing to do. Come on. Just put it out there on the internet, you know? Or don't make it at all. I've seen the, uh, the wrestling edits. There was a... [laughs] There was one that I saw. It was, uh, it was classic Monday Night Raw, WWE. Michael Jackson was in the ring doing some type of promo, and then Tupac comes out and starts beefing with him.I think there was a video, Victor was talking about yesterday how this guy had a bear on a leash, and was at the front door or just walking around Yellowstone. Something along the lines of that. I s- I think I saw a different one where there was a kid with a bear on a leash at the front door, and there was a Ring doorbell and it was a fake Ring doorbell camera, that type of thing. AI's getting pretty freaky. And there's a lot of people in the comments section going, "Yeah, I'm definitely gonna get scammed when I'm 50 when AI becomes, you know, super realistic." And we're gonna have that major issue of not knowing what's real [laughs], what- what- what it, what's- what's real, what's not. I think there was an AI generated video making the rounds of, uh, this, uh, sort of, kind of like what we have here, the crazy figure eight car races. It was like one of those races, but they got canceled due to some weird reason. And this whole video's AI generated, by the way. And the guy in the video starts screaming at the reporter. Obviously, it's fake. There's that fake video. There's people wrestling in Walmart. There was a guy who suplexed an associate off the top shelf. That's another AI generated video I've seen from time to time, uh, so far from time to time. So far I've seen that repeatedly. Um, yeah, those Sora videos, they're getting out of hand. I completely forgot to mention in that last break the reason why I couldn't use the Sora editing app for the AI videos, is because the- you have to get an invite code. So I was on the computer here, kind of try- trying to look around to see if anybody leaked an invite code. I don't think I did too much digging. I was kind of worried if I did post a video, most people would be like, "Hey, why are you posting AI slop?" You know that's the trendy thing to say. "I'm disappointed in K-Bear for posting AI slop." Well, let's talk about real movies for a second here then. On the K-Bear 101 Idaho Rock and Metal Facebook group, I, uh, posted a picture of the best, uh, horror movies of 2025 so far. There's some good ones in there. And, uh, there's plenty I haven't seen. Bring Her Back, want to see that one real bad. I want to see The Ugly Stepsister. The thing is, is that I've talked about this as well before. I- I want to watch it with my girlfriend, and she doesn't really want to watch them because she can't really handle too much, uh, scary, too much gore. I don't really care for that m- much gore either. I like, I like the scary movies. I love horror. It's one of my favorite genres, but I know my limits. I know I won't go see a movie like Terrifier just because that's just
Art the Clown brutally murdering people for two hours. That's it, right? I don't need to see all those Terrifier movies.
I think Saw was the same way. I never planned on watching those just because it was the same thing. Just a whole bunch of different traps people are dying in, you know, that type of thing. I want some good scares. Watched The Conjuring. Thought it was pretty decent. Wasn't too bad. The Substance was the weirdest movie I have seen in quite some time. That, that... I'm not gonna spoil the ending, but as the movie progresses it just gets weirder and weirder and weirder. But if you want to take a look at that list, um, there's a whole thing, a whole image I posted in the K-Bear 101 Idaho Rock and Metal Facebook group there. During Sunday's game between the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Jets, cameras caught Cowboys owner Jerry Jones flipping the bird at fans at MetLife Stadium. Yesterday, the NFL hit Jerry with a $250,000 fine, which of course is totally unfair. As Jerry explained, flipping the bird angry and loud New York sports fans was totally accidental. Jerry intended to give those fine fans a thumbs up. No big deal. Jerry has until Friday to appeal the fine. Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw is hoping to win his third World Series title before he retires at the end of the post season, and he thinks too many teams are not trying to win a World Series for their fans. Kershaw said in a recent interview, "Once you get to October, anything can happen. Ultimately, yes, I think we'll all be disappointed if we don't win the last game of the year, but I think 29 other teams should have that mindset, and whether that's a reality or not, that should be the case. Most likely for a lot of them, it's their owner's fault for not trying." Wow. All right. And Denver runners laced up for a 50K ultra-marathon with a twist. Along the 31-mile route, participants of the Taco Bell 50K needed to stop at 10 Taco Bell locations and eat at nine of those locations. We're not talking about [clears throat]... Excuse me there. We're not talking about a nibble from a cinnamon twist here. Each runner had to chow down on a, uh, Chalupa Supreme or Crunch Wrap Supreme by stop four, and then a Burrito Supreme or Nachos BellGrande by stop eight. Adding to the challenge, the runners were allowed to use the bathroom at one and only one location that was off of the race course. Runners had to cross the fi- the finish line in under 11 hours to be considered a quote-unquote "survivor" of the Taco Bell 50K [laughs]. I wouldn't mind stopping at 10 Taco Bell locations. The running part, no thank you. That does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update, right here on K-Bear 101. This topic has been brought up twice to me today, talking about the worst cities in America. Barstool Sports, they, uh, they have this podcast called The Dog Walk, I believe. I don't know, it just got tagged in their post. And I've seen these posts pop up from time to time about different topics. This one they did the- the worst cities in the USA draft, and there was five different people that shows what they think are the five worst cities in America. That got brought up early this morning, and I was potentially m- wanting to make that as my, uh, to pitch their own question, but I'm- I'm afraid that a lot of people will just say either Idaho Falls or Pocatello [laughs]. Or there'd be someone saying, I don't know,Somebody's saying a city and then another person gets mad. Maybe I, maybe I will ask this for a To Peach Their Own during the 4:00 PM hour just to see what answers I'll get. Maybe, no, no, what I'll get is a whole bunch of people saying Los Angeles even though they most likely have never been there. I myself would not say Los Angeles is the worst city. It's not a good city whatsoever. It's not the worst city in America. I've seen terrible cities before. I've seen other places in California. Like, somebody on this podcast said Bakersfield. Bakersfield, California, what a dump. I'm sorry. I know we have a lot of people streaming us from across the country. [clears throat] So if anybody wants to call in for To Peach Their Own, do it during the, uh, 4:00 PM hour. It's gonna be a fun time potentially doing this question. Uh, Ronnie Radke was just getting interviewed, I forgot exactly by who, but he was mentioning what he thinks are the worst cities.
And he was briefly talking about Charlotte and then he goes on this whole rant about how Buffalo, New York is the worst city of all time, according to Ronnie Radke. Now, that could be his online persona.
That could be how he honestly thinks. Who knows? I mean, it's all subjective really. Like, this list is a bunch of cities from all over the place. I see Green Bay, Wisconsin. I see Houston, Texas. I see New York, New York on here. Terre Haute, Indiana made the list. That is hilarious. I'll have to send this to my friend Hunter who lives in Terre Haute, Indiana. I can't believe they got a mention on this list here of the worst cities in America. Um, keep an eye out on the, uh, K-Bear 101 Idaho Rock and Metal Facebook group. I'll post that thread there. And then during the 4:00 PM hour, I'll ask for your answers live on the air at 208-535-1015. All right. We went from worst cities in America to now the greatest songs of the 21st century so far. And you know who put out this list? Rolling Stone. So it's guaranteed to be one of the worst lists you have ever seen. I don't know... Who's in charge of the lists over there? Let me, let me Google search that, see if anything pops up. Who is in charge of the lists at Rolling Stone?
Oh great, I'm getting the AI overview. "While Rolling Stone's lists are overseen by its co-editors and chief, Shirley Heplerin and Sean Woods, the lists themselves are created through a broader polling process." Yeah right.
I'm sure they probably get the right votes and then they change everything up to, you know, be in their own way or they have, like, these terrible options and you're like, "Okay, this one's better than that one."
That sort of thing. But the 10 greatest songs of the 21st century so far, they're all pop songs. One of them gets played on Alt 101. You can download the app for that today through any app store. That co- that one comes in at number two. I wouldn't consider that one one of the greatest songs of the 21st century so far. You ready to be disappointed by this list? You got Frank Ocean, Thinkin' About You. Is that in the system? We don't have any Frank Ocean in the library for Z103. That surprises me. Wow. At number nine, you got Britney Spears, Toxic. Which we do have that, of course, on Z103. Also, Throwback 103, our other music channel. Radiohead, Idioteque at number eight on this list here of the 10 greatest songs of the 21st century so far. Kendrick Lamar, Alright. Then you have somebody named Robin, Dancing On My Own. You got Taylor Swift, T-Swizzle, All Too Well, number five. Then you have... Okay, so this one's not necessarily a pop song. It also plays on Alt 101. It's one of my least favorite songs of all time. Should- should I play it here? Should I gi- give the grand reveal as to what is number four on this list here from Rolling Stone?
I'm sure you have probably heard it at a sporting event. You've probably heard it at... Why is my music bed still playing? You've probably heard it, um, let's see, on the radio many times. No matter what rock station, they always play this track. Here it is right here. [music] The White Stripes, Seven Nation Army at number four on this list
of the 10 greatest songs of the 21st century so far. You've gotta be kidding me. Number four on the list? [music]
The vocals just annoy me.
Yeah, okay, I'm, I'm done with that one. Uh, number three, we have Beyonce featuring Jay-Z, Crazy In Love. You see what I mean? Rolling Stone putting out one of the worst lists ever. Number two, the one that we play on Alt 101, another one that we play on Alt 101. I remember hearing the remix of this track when I saw that movie Project X from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It's Maps. [music] You know this song? Let me fast-forward a little bit in here for you. [music] They
got this at number two of the greatest songs of the 21st century so far. This right here.
That's one of the greatest songs of the 21st century so far according to Rolling Stone. And then number one, do we even have this? We don't even have number one in the system. It doesn't play on Classy, it doesn't play on Z103. The greatest song of the 21st century so far according to Rolling Stone, Missy Elliott, Get Ur Freak On. That's what they have. Yeah. Maybe I'll have to save this for another To Peach Their Own question maybe tomorrow. What would you consider is the, is the greatest song? Maybe I'll switch-... from, from the whole worst city topic. 'Cause I know a lot of people are just gonna put Los Angeles, any city in California, you know, just because, the- the, that- that- that's the pop- that's what I predict. So, I might have to ask this one. What would you say is the greatest song of the 21st century so far? And see what the K-Bear Rock Army has to say for To Peach Their Own, in a little bit here on Peach's Pit Party. As part of our K-Bear Rockin' Halloween, haunted by Juice City Vapor In This Moment Roots, extremely excited to see them Friday. Yeah, it's coming up soon. Friday at the Mountain America Center, In This Moment with Dayseeker, the Funeral Portrait, and Dead. Four great bands. If you want to see them, um, make sure to buy your tickets. Go to the proper websites, and, uh, l- let's, let's pack the Mountain America Center. We gave away all of our tickets to that show already. We're gonna have a few, uh, surprises on Friday as well hopefully if everything goes according to plan. So, that should be a whole lot of fun. In This Moment, Dayseeker, the Funeral Portrait, and Dead at the Mountain America Center this Friday. The final show in the East Idaho concert run, as Victor called it, uh, a couple days back. Four of four concerts. Four of four [laughs] concerts. I mean, I went to Hollywood Undead out of my own free will. You know, just 'cause I wanted to go to that one. Then Chevelle was last Tuesday. Gonna get Mudvayne Static-X and Vended. Which, by the way, those, uh, pictures from that show that our one and only Maddie Kidd took, our marketing assistant from down the hall, our concert photographer, jack of all trades, Maddie Kidd. Uh, the pictures, just some of the amazing pictures that she got at the show are now on our social media pages. More specifically, our Facebook and Instagram at K-Bear 101 FM. Make sure to check those out. And, uh, let's pack the Mountain America Center for the final show, for what I think is the final show here in the area at least, for 2025. And we'll look forward to 2026 after that. Let's go with some I Prevail right now. Violent Nature on K-Bear 101. All right, we've talked about the cult following when it comes to Dr. Pepper. How there's no person prouder to drink a soda than a fan of Dr. Pepper. Also, there's the cult following of Costco. There's those many Instagram, social media pages overall. TikTok pages where people talk about their, uh, their- their favorite Costco items and what to get at Costco. You don't see that really for any other store besides Costco. Well, you know, the cult following for the Android, the Google Pixel ... Not necessarily the Google Pixel actually. More so just the Android. Um, that crowd is extremely loud, and they'll always, you know, bash the iPhone. I'm an iPhone user through and through. Forget the green text. Forget the Google Pixel. Josh from Classy97 was, uh, talking some mad- some mad trash [laughs] about the iPhone early this morning on Wake Up Classy97 because in the latest- in Apple's latest iOS 17 update, which I don't know why they're calling it iOS 17. Aren't they on iOS 26? I just upgraded my phone to that last night. Not last night, couple nights ago. Apparently, in the latest update, there's a new feature that lets you ask someone why they're calling before you even pick up. The new Ask Reason for Calling feature is kind of like having your own receptionist when someone who isn't in your contacts calls. Your iPhone automatically answers the call with this whole automated message asking for their name and reason for calling. The caller is then placed on hold while their response is transcribed in text displayed on your screen letting you decide whether accept, decline, or ask for more information. Which I feel like if I were to get that automated reply, I would just hang up. Really. I- I forgot exactly what it's called. I used to have a friend named Bryce and I would call his home phone number to see if he wanted to hang out. I think it was so long ago that he just didn't have a cell phone. So, I had to call his home phone and see if he was even home. And it was kind of, uh, anxiety-inducing because when you would call, it would just automatically go to this voicemail and you would think that they didn't pick up. No, you had to basically
say exactly why you were calling and you had to keep talking until someone finally picked up. So, I would call their house and just keep talking and talking and talking and talking till finally either Bryce answered the phone or his dad answered the phone saying, "Hey, Bryce isn't home." And I just spent like the last five minutes on speaker in their house saying, "Hey, it's Brendan, just trying to reach out to Bryce, wanting to hang out." [laughs] I wonder how, uh, well this ... Do I have this on my phone? I wonder. I might have to upgrade to the iOS 17 Pro Max. What a pretentious name that is, the Pro Max. Anyway, enough of me talking about this. Let's move on to a Halloweenish track for our K-Bear Rockin' Halloween haunted by Juice City Vapor. Victor's gonna love this one. It's Acid Bath Grave Flower. You know, daylight saving time is approaching us. Yes, it is. Daylight saving and not savings.
It's approaching us, unfortunately. We're gonna fall back an hour on November 2nd. We might be doing something to, uh, to help at least one listener with, uh, making the time change a little bit easier. More details on that soon enough. And I- I really wish there was a law passed already to get rid of daylight saving time altogether. There was all this talk about it a couple years back. Then nothing else, then nothing else, and of course, nothing else. Everything else here has been outlawed except for daylight saving time. But I'm glad to see something like this. Something good in California for a change. Politicians over there, they've just passed a new law regulating the volume of commercials being shown in streaming services, as in how loud the commercials sound on your TV. Uh, can it just be cable as well? Can you- can you do that w- worldwide, countrywide at least?The- the law requires platforms like Hulu and Peacock to make sure ads don't blast louder than the shows themselves. Don't you hate that?
There's that classic scenario. You'd fall asleep on the couch. 2:00 AM hits. Magically, you just get that whole commercial that blasts out of the speakers, wakes you, wakes your parents up. Federal laws... Oh, so it already... It- wait, it's already... These federal laws like this are already in place for broadcast TV and radio. Hmm. I- I really can't tell the last time I've had a commercial that was extremely loud. California lawmakers closing the loophole that was still open for the streaming companies. That's good to see. Something positive there. Turning into Peaches' Positivity Party for at least one break. Ice Nine Kills, Ex Mortis as part of our K-Bear Rockin' Halloween, haunted by Juice City Vapor. And Ice Nine Kills, they're gonna be releasing a new track tomorrow, technically tonight at like 10:00 PM called The Laugh Track. It's all based off of The Joker. They've been, uh, teasing all about it online. And, uh, well, you know I'll be playing that for It's So New tomorrow.
I- I'm pretty sure it's gonna be exactly like every Ice Nine Kills song. It's gonna have the signature Spencer vocals, gonna have the overall theme, quotes from whatever they're make... The- whatever the theme's about, and then a cl- a crazy breakdown. I'm assuming that, right? Watch me be correct tomorrow. Anyway, that was just what I wanted to talk about. Um, there is new Ice Nine Kills coming out tomorrow. And then also, um, still listen out for those scream tones. Thanks to Wackerley Auto Center and Minuteman Services. We're giving away those haunted passports still. Tho- that, that, that's your ticket into four different haunted attractions. You got the Lost Souls Attractions in Shelley. You got Idaho's Haunted Hospital in St. Anthony. You got the, uh, Haunted Mill in Teton, as well as Slaughter's Realm in Blackfoot. One of these haunted passports will get you into all four. Listen for those scream tones. You'll hear the scream. You'll hear the call now. I think somebody must have heard the promo get played on the air or something earlier this afternoon. I was sitting here minding my own business. Somebody was calling in, and I'm always sitting here in the studio, so you can always call me, and I'll just talk to listeners most of the time off the air. And this one person [laughs] called in. I picked up the phone, said, "Hey, K-Bear, what's up?" There was nothing, and then, I heard a woman's voice say, "They just said, 'K-Bear, what's up?'" And then, there was like the fumbling of the phone, and then they hung up. I don't know if they were calling in for that contest, but you gotta listen for that specific scream tone where you hear the scream and then the, "Call now," which then that's when you have to be caller 13 to secure yourself a haunted passport. Again, all thanks to Wackerley Auto Center and Minuteman Services. Of course, this happened in Southern California, a beloved dinosaur mascot, it's- is back home at a Los Angeles gas station after a bizarre theft that caught the attention of the internet, even Jamie Lee Curtis. Claire, a four-foot-tall, 50-pound fiberglass dinosaur was stolen last week from outside a, uh, Sinclair gas station in Brentwood. Surveillance video showed someone using power tools to remove the statue and load it into a white pickup truck. The theft sparked outrage online with Jamie Lee Curtis posting a video of the incident calling out the thief saying, "Not cool, dude. Not cool." Fans of the dino even left flowers at the scene. That's real sad. But then early Monday morning, Claire mysteriously just reappeared. She was wrapped in fabric, left outside the gas station. A note was attached reading, "I'm sorry for stealing. Please don't charge me." No arrests have been made, and police are still investigating. At least this person apologized, right? I do see the, uh, the post here from Jamie Lee Curtis
posting the full article, "SOCIAL MEDIA WIN," in all caps, with the picture of Claire wrapped in the hole, th- the tow- the towel or whatever. I feel... That's a, that's a good person bringing it back even though they stole [laughs] it in the first place. That does it for today's What the Headline right here on K-Bear 101. One of the weirdest sports stories of the year, or even over the past few years unfolded over the weekend in Indianapolis. I should've talked about this on the, uh, Shock Clock Sports Update right as it happened. Former USC and New York Jets' quarterback Mark Sanchez, he got into this altercation with a, uh, 69-year-old guy, which resulted in both men being bloodied and stabbed. It also resulted in felony charges against Sanchez. The location of that stabbing,
uh, was on a stretch of downtown sidewalk, has turned into one of the, the hottest new tourist attractions on the mean streets of Indianapolis, out of all places. People have been stopping by and, of course, taking pictures at the scene of the crime where Sanchez limped after being [laughs] knifed around midnight Saturday. Imagine that. Imagine being so famous, you get into an altercation with an old man. You somehow get stabbed by that old man. You walk away with some wounds. And the next thing you know, you go on Instagram while you're at the hospital receiving treatment, and there's people going like, "This is where Mark Sanchez got a knife in him." There's somebody like happily taking a selfie where you got stabbed. Wouldn't that be pretty wild? Uh, at least I think so. I got invited by my friend, uh, Tyler. We call him Kirk. His last name's Kirkpatrick. We just simply call him Kirk. I don't know why or how that started, but we just do. Uh, he's getting married during the early part of next year in like March all the way out in Cumming, Georgia. And I wasn't really planning on going until I got that text that says, "Hey, you're invited not only to come to the wedding, but you're invited to be a groomsman." And I've never been one of those before. For some reason, he trusts a dude he's only ever talked to on Discord, he's never seen me in real life, trusts me to, you know, be there [laughs] for that wedding and be a groomsman. Whatever I have to do for that, sure.But that, that also means I now have to fund a trip from, I don't know, Salt Lake City maybe. Maybe I'll have to drive down to Salt Lake, take the flight from there all the way to Atlanta.
That's gonna be a long flight for sure. At least I'm not the best man. I was looking at this story here, this best man at a wedding, they have a lot of responsibilities. So the groom expects him to plan the bachelor party, hold the reins, make a memorable toast. In rare cases, like at a recent wedding in Minnesota, he may also be called upon to handle a wedding crasher with extreme prejudice. This guy, Steven Andrew James, was the best man at his friend's wedding in Maplewood last weekend. This uninvited guest shows up and tries to confront the groom. I don't know if it's just because he's had a crush on the bride his whole life, and is now going, "He can't... She can't get married to you. She's going with me." James reportedly stepped in, shot the wedding crasher in both legs. Wedding guests used belts as makeshift tourniquets to stop the bleeding, rushed him to the hospital while the best man got arrested, charged with second-degree assault, being held on $250,000 bail. Jeez. And that happens at your wedding? Yeah, my best man got arrested. He just shot a crasher. What? I mean, at least that's memorable. You want it to be the best day of your life, at least for the bride, you know? It's always the biggest deal. It's supposed to be the best day of your life. Next thing you know, the best man shoots a wedding crasher. It seems like security was top-notch. [air whooshing] So what would you say is the greatest song of the 21st century so far? If you haven't seen the post in the KBear 101 Idaho Rock and Metal Facebook group, I posted the top 10 in there. A lot of people just critiquing the list, not necessarily giving me their answer for what they think is the greatest song of the 21st century so far. Two people have put... Well, one person put Slither by Velvet Revolver. The other one put Fall To Pieces by Velvet Revolver. Really? Those are the best songs of the 21st century so far? What is your response? 208-535-1015. I did like what, uh, Mullet Man had to say in the comments. No Linkin Park, no Limp Bizkit, no System of a Down, like just nothing?
They weren't in the top 10, but I think they were on the full complete list of 250. Like, they had Mastodon Blood & Thunder at like 220-something on that list, which is still very low for such a great song. What would you say is the greatest song of the 21st century so far? Let me know for to peach their own. [air whooshing] There she is, the ultimate concert photographer, Maddie Kid.
Which mic?
That mic right there. Mic two. Grab that one. Yeah, there you go. It's gonna make some noise, I think, 'cause it's such a bad microphone now.
Oh, I'm sorry that I grabbed the really crappy one.
No, that's fine.
What up?
I- i- it's good. Uh, I just was admiring your pictures on Facebook-
Thank you
... of the Mudvayne show, and then, um, I was gonna talk to you about this particular to peach their own question that I have here.
Okay. What up?
R- Rolling Stone released one of the worst lists I've ever seen when it comes to the greatest songs of the 21st century. They released the top 250.
Oh, no.
I, I put a screenshot of the top 10 in the KBear group.
Okay.
They had Missy Elliott Get Ur Freak On as the number one-
Missy Elliott Get Ur Freak On-
[laughing] I know
... is number one in the top of the 21st century?
Yes. That song right there. We don't have that song in the library for Z.
Dude, you are so lying.
Or, no, right there. Look. You can look at my computer screen right here. Rolling Stone.
[gasps]
Yeah, there's that.
Beyonce?
Beyonce, Jay-Z, Crazy In Love at number three. You have... Fr- so yeah, if, if you wanna look at the list, go to the KBear 101 Idaho Rock and Metal Facebook group. Um, so what would you say is the greatest song of the 21st century?
Um-
Better yet, what would, wha... Should I ask ChatGPT?
No, no, no. I have, I have an answer for you.
Okay.
First of all, I would like to comment on the fact that whoever makes these lists, they have h- horrible taste.
They do.
Um, but I also am probably about to drop a really bad take, so I will take that back in just a second. But I think Fireflies by Owl City is the-
[laughs]
[laughs] ... the top song of the 21st century. Oh, man. If you... Wait, no, no, no, no, no, no. 1000 Miles by Vanessa Carlton.
Okay. All right, Maddie.
Dude, trust. Trust. It's bangers.
Again, you were born before most of these songs, or before... Born after most of these songs came out.
Probably.
I see 2001, 2003, 2003, 2003.
Oof.
Uh, you were 2006.
Yep.
Uh, so I asked ChatGPT, and it already gave me like a, a, a couple better answers than what Rolling Stone has given me.
What is- wh-
It said, "Oof, that's a loaded question, Peaches. It really depends on what lens you're looking through," but it gave me Mr. Brightside, The Killers.
No, that's a banger. That is a banger.
Hey Ya from Outkast.
Okay.
Seven Nation Army, The White Stripes.
Mm, classic, but not a banger.
Crazy, Gnarls Barkley.
Mm.
And then Rolling In The Deep from Adele.
Ooh. I do love me some Adele. Um, I think if... I don't mean to be a Taylor Swift hater, but I think if there's like any top 10 songs that have Taylor Swift on it, especially taking into consideration her new album, um, the list is immediately marked down in my mind, unfortunately. 'Cause she has some bangers like, um, I Knew You Were Trouble-
Mm-hmm
... or one of the oth- We Are Never Getting Back Together. Ooh, those are hits, but would I say they're the best? Mm, no. I'm sorry. Um, but Fireflies, Owl City. Don't even get me started, brother.
Yeah, so ChatGPT legitimately gave me Mr. Brightside, gave me those are the-
I do agree with that one.
Oh, no. Gave me Mr. Brightside at one, Hey Ya at two, Rolling In The Deep, three, Seven Nation Army, four, Lose Yourself from Eminem at number five.
Okay.
Bad Guy from Billie Eilish at six.
Nah.
Humble from Kendrick Lamar at seven.
Okay, yeah.
Clocks from Coldplay at number eight, Uptown Funk from Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars at number nine, and then Shake It Off, Taylor Swift at number 10.
Bro, um, actually, can I propose Play That Funky Music, White Boy?
That's not from the 21st century.
Is it not?
That's from the... [laughs]
Dude, when was that song released?
[laughs]
It's from back in the medieval days.
Yeah, from back when Jade Davis was a kid. 1976 was when it was released.
Oh, really?
[laughs]
Jesus. Where have I been?
[laughs]
Never mind.
You were born 50 years af- or 40, 40 years after that.
That's actually the year my mom was born, so-
All right. Shout out Mama Jen. All right, listeners, what would you say is the greatest, [laughs] greatest song of the 21st century? Let me know. [air whooshing] Hey, KBear. How's it going?
[laughs] Hey, Jordan here. Just, uh, wanting to answer your question on air, Peaches.
[laughs] What would you say is the greatest song of the 21st century?
Honestly, if it were up to me, I think that, uh, Unfainted by Slipknot is the greatest song to come out in the 21st century.
All right. All right. We got a finally a metal answer. Are there any Slipknot songs on that list? I should have had this thing pulled up and s- should have, uh, searched for it, but, uh, yeah. Well, great answer, Jordan. Appreciate the, uh, the response here. I'll give it... I'll, uh, play it on the air for you too.
Oh, thank... I appreciate [laughs] that. Thank you so much.
Absolutely. You have a good one.
You too. Bye-bye. [upbeat music]
