Blake Saul right there, teaming up with Census for Burn It Down as my pick of the day today. We are officially a week away from Christmas. Can you believe that? Last night I did some... Well, as in true Peaches fashion, I decided to do some last-minute Christmas shopping. I- I- I needed to get presents for my family, all right? I- I needed to get something. No matter if it was real cheap or real tacky, real dumb. I was- I was like, "I have to give them something." 

00:00:41,140 --> 00:05:20,400 [Speaker 1]
Ended up giving them a- a few things that were peach-related. I've been trying to find this artificial peach tree. It's not what you would expect. It doesn't actually have like fake-looking leaves, or it doesn't have like that realistic look to it. I don't know how to put it. Like when you see a fake plant, you know it's fake, right? This one was more so decorative. It was... I can't even think of the material, but there was one time my- m- my parents and I got into a major fight when I was like a teenager. Of course, me being a rebellious teenager, we get into this huge fight. I don't know if I backed into the tree or what happened, but I knocked it off the table and it broke, and my mom's like, "That's a great representation of our family: broken." [laughs] And so ever since then, I've been trying to find that specific tree. And I'm sure once I do find it, it's going to be rather expensive. It seemed like an antique at the time, and that was 11, 12 years ago? No, I'm 29 now. That was 16 years ago when I was like 13. Geez, was it really that long ago? Sometimes... I was just thinking about it. You know, last night, I stupidly stayed up until 1:00 in the morning playing this game called Web Fishing, and there's no point to the game rather than you just fish and rank up. You fish, you sell your fish, you get better bait, you get a better rod, you can get cosmetics for- for your character. You're either a dog or a cat, it's very cartoony. Think Animal Crossing for this. And what's funny is you can fish in the ocean and all of a sudden catch a whale. Like that's realistic, right? It's crazy though because the whale is l- life-sized in the game, so when you catch it, this giant thing comes out of the water. It's scary every single time. It's crazy. Web Fishing, it's like five bucks. You should download it. I've been playing it mindlessly. I played it all last night, talking with my friends, reminiscing on the good old days. That's when you know you're old, is when you reminisce about stories from your teenage years and you go, "Man, life was so much funnier and better back then. Now look at us, sad adults all far away from each other." My friend Zach lives in Tennessee. I live in, you know, Idaho Falls. O- other friends live in California, another one lives in Cumming, Georgia. We're all over the place. I'm very thankful Discord exists. I'm very thankful that I live in the time that we do so I can talk to my friends. Otherwise, I would be that guy. Like if I was around in, I don't know, the '80s or whatever, I- I'd be calling my friends all the time checking in on them just trying to talk to them 'cause I'd be so lonely. Anyway, enough of that. [laughs] If you wanna get a hold of me, you can over at 208-535-1015. Appreciate you tuning in. Let's, uh, continue this afternoon. Let's try to get through this pre-Friday, AKA Thursday, as fast as possible. Oh man, I love seeing this kind of news. Doctors are warning that the most wonderful time of the year is also the peak season for, uh, uh, for something called Holiday Heart Syndrome, which seems to be a real thing. It's a sudden irregular heartbeat that strikes otherwise healthy people after they overdo it with salty food, holiday stress, or too many festive cocktails. ERs typically see a spike in cases around Christmas and New Year's. And while it often, uh, clears up once you hydrate and rest, it can increase your risk- risk of a stroke if ignored. You know, as a guy who deals with AFib and who takes pills every single day to prevent that from happening, you- you have to take care of your heart. It's one of the scariest things to have an irregular heartbeat. I- I still vividly remember that night, December 13th, 2023, when I woke up at like 2:00 AM. This was before I had my CPAP. This was before... Th- this was when I- I was figuring out, this was the wake-up call that I had it. Well, that I had- I had to give up the energy drinks. I had to, uh, get myself a sleep study. Thankfully, I did. I sleep so much better at night with the CPAP. It really does help. If you snore, and you even- you snore heavy too, go get a sleep study done, all right? Find out if you have sleep apnea. Get yourself treated. It- It's s- I didn't realize that I wasn't breathing at all. I thought I was just sleeping normally, but nope. Found out I wasn't breathing like 28 times per hour. I've talked about this openly on the show before. 

00:05:20,400 --> 00:06:56,676 [Speaker 1]
That plus all the energy drinks that I drink, uh, all the stress caused my heart to go into AFib. In December 13th, 2023, I woke up at like 3:00 in the morning. My heart was going like 140 and it was irregular and it wouldn't stop. It would just... It- it was coming out of my chest, and so I had to go to the ER. Drove myself over there, got shocked back to a normal rhythm. Been treated for it ever since. You know, I take those pills, like I mentioned. So, be extra careful this holiday season. You know, it's great. It is the most wonderful time of the year, but you also have to take care of yourself. You know, everyone gains weight this time of the year as well. I know I have. I felt really self-conscious because I used to be considered an athlete.And when you have people make comments about, like, your appearance from a couple of years ago and say, "Oh, is that a different person?" You know it's bad. You- you know it's bad when one of your girlfriend's brothers all of a sudden asks, "Hey, can you still do a pushup?" And then you go, "Yeah. Of course I can," and then you think about it and you're like, "I- I- I really can't." Wow, that's bad. I might- I might attempt to do a pushup here in the studio just to see if I can. [graphics whooshing] Peaches Pit Party on KBAR 101. Today, National Re-gifting Day. I don't necessarily like to talk about the stupid holidays that get celebrated or not so celebrated, but- but radio DJs point them out anyway. You know, "Today is Bad- Bake Cookies Day. Ho, ho! What's your favorite kind of cookie? Let us know." No, please don't. National Re-gifting Day and there's this whole survey that it talks about where 

00:06:56,676 --> 00:07:08,975 [Speaker 1]
more than 110 million Americans admit to re-gifting or reselling unwanted presents. Guilty. 100% guilty of doing so. 

00:07:08,975 --> 00:07:42,476 [Speaker 1]
If people gift me junk, I- I- I'll wait a week and then it'll just all of a sudden disappear. And then when they ask me about it, I go, "Oh, I love this gift." Is that a jerk move? Should I have admitted that on the air? Did I just add a whole bunch of pressure to people that I know that wanna gift me something? They're like, "Wow, screw this guy. I don't wanna gift him something and then he just gets rid of it." You know? There was something that somebody gave me here in the office. I'm not gonna say who, 

00:07:42,476 --> 00:07:48,015 [Speaker 1]
that I'm like, "Do I really need this or could I give this to a, 

00:07:48,015 --> 00:08:21,095 [Speaker 1]
I don't know, my girlfriend's, uh, nephew?" Maybe give it to him and say, "Merry Christmas, buddy. I hope you like it." I don't know. I don't know. I- I- I might just throw it away, to be quite honest with you. I've been trying to get rid of junk. Last night when I was, uh, signing off for the night, I talked about how I needed to go through all of my stuff in my place to just get rid of, uh, most things that are- that are just sitting there collecting dust or they're really gross. Like, I have all these old cups from 

00:08:21,096 --> 00:09:52,876 [Speaker 1]
my- my parents' home. Growing up we drank out of those cups. My parents gave me them. I put them in the cabinet. I must have the grossest cabinets on the planet. I- I looked inside that cabinet recently and went, "What on earth happened to these cups?" And they're still sitting there. I meant to go through that tonight, but last night I finally had some time to myself, so I took it upon myself to play some web fishing like I talked about at the beginning part of the show, to hang out with my friends on Discord. I- I went and went Christmas shopping for a little bit. Came back, gamed some more. I should've cleaned up. I- I really should've. M- this weekend, this weekend I have to. All right? I need to get rid of all this excess junk. I- I- I will give you permission. If I- if I come on the show on Monday and say, "Hey, I didn't clean up." Y- you better call in and yell at me. That's all I gotta say. At 208-535-1015. [graphics whooshing] I just realized tomorrow, tomorrow morning to be exact right as I get here, I'm gonna have to cut off the form for Merry Axemas with the Advocates Injury Attorneys. Not just one form, no three forms. Take down the forms on all three apps and then print out all those names. Cut them into little slips, put them in the big bowl. Also, include those people that have won entries with the Sounder on the Air. And then one lucky person. All this work for just one winner is ridiculous. I wish we had some type of mass cutting tool to where I could cut all the names on one piece of paper at once. 

00:09:52,935 --> 00:10:34,356 [Speaker 1]
Instead, we just have these horrible office scissors here in the- here in the, uh, studio, and I have to sit here like I'm in the, uh, second grade, cutting stuff up again. All this work for one winner. It's like planning a wedding, and then you have those few hours where the wedding happens and that's it. W- all this work I have to do and I get nothing. Meanwhile, one listener gets a signed guitar from Bad Omens, Halestorm, Fall Out Boy, Sleep Theory, and Never Tell. If you wanna win this guitar, make sure to sign up within the apps before tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM. Right as I show up, like I say, like I said, I will be, uh, cutting off those forms 

00:10:34,356 --> 00:11:14,915 [Speaker 1]
and that'll be it. All those names that are in there, one of them will win that awesome signed guitar. Again, thanks to the Advocates Injury Attorneys for helping us out with our Merry Axemas guitar giveaway. Don't worry if you don't win this giveaway, we have something planned for the day after Christmas. More details to come on that soon enough. [graphics whooshing] The Kentucky men's college basketball team is at a rough start to the season, dropping out of the top 25 after racking up four losses in the first six weeks of play. And all that losing has taken its toll on the voice of Head Coach Mark Pope. He revealed that- that his doctor told him to not speak over a conversational volume this week 

00:11:14,915 --> 00:15:19,832 [Speaker 1]
due to a strain on his voice from yelling during games. Pope added, "It's been a pretty emotional several weeks and it's been taxing on my voice." You know, you gotta yell all the time as a basketball coach. It sucks. Organizers of the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Olympics are not making the same mistake as FIFA did by promising bargain tickets for each game and then jacking up all ticket prices. On January 14th, uh, registration for tickets starts, and LA Olympic officials said there will be at least one million tickets sold for 28, uh, just $28. I almost said $28 million like an idiot. For $28 to honor the year of the event, plus a third of the overall ticket inventory for the games will be priced at $100 or less. I- I can't imagine how crowded LA is going to be in 2028. It's going to suck trying to go home. In case you missed it, the College Football Bowl season is underway.The IS4S, is that how you say it? The IS4S Salute to Veterans Bowl. The LA Bowl, the 68 Ventures Bowl, and The Cure Bowl were earlier this week. And the Xbox Bowl is tonight. Who would've thought? But don't worry, there are plenty of strangely named bowl games still on the schedule. There's the, uh, how do you even say this one? The Gasparilla Bowl, December 19th. Comin' up tomorrow, Myrtle Beach Bowl. The Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl. I wonder how much money he paid to get his name on that thing? The Pop-Tarts Bowl. There's the Cheez-it Citrus Bowl. There's the Duke's Mayo Bowl as well, that's happening January 2nd. And let's not forget, the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl, which will be played on New Year's Eve. And it's- it's- it's sure to be great! Okay, sorry. That does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on K-Bear 101. Speaking of, uh, simple men, I've joked before that football players don't exactly, uh, help themselves with the stereotype that they're, you know, not the, not the smartest. And this week absolutely did not move the needle in the right direction. Puka Nacua of the LA Rams, he was on a livestream and straight up said, "Concussions aren't real. That they're just in your head." Which is an incredible thing to say in a sport where the entire league has spent the last decade pretending to care about head trauma. Torn ACLs, real. Concussions, a- apparently a mindset issue. And then, it gets even worse. Almost like the universe wanted to keep the streak alive, his brother, Samson Nacua, I saw the news earlier today, gets arrested for allegedly taking a car that didn't belong to him. Not just any car either. It belonged to a Los Angeles Lakers player. Cops tracked it down because it gets valet parked. It's not a crime story, it's a sitcom subplot, really. So, between brain injuries are fake and, "Yeah, I'll just borrow this SUV this week," really did its part to keep every football stereotype alive and thriving. You know, now's the time of the year where churches, [clears throat] excuse me, they put out, they put on this massive show. Mega-churches especially. They put on this massive show of the birth of Jesus. You know, the- the- the classic nativity scene. I saw this story. There was a Christmas performance at a church in Houston, full nativity setup, big production, the whole thing. And they decided to bring a real camel into the show. So, during the performance, the camel just turns and kicks a woman. Drops her! Whole thing caught on video. I bet that guy who recorded it was like, "Yeah! All right. Let's get this onto Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, AFV right away." Look, I'm not blaming the camel at all. That camel didn't sign up to reenact the whole thing in front of a crowd, right? That camel didn't ask for stage lights, music cues, or applause. That camel woke up and chose violis- violence because someone thought, "You know what this needs? A live desert animal indoors." 

00:15:19,832 --> 00:16:21,372 [Speaker 1]
At no point did anyone go, "Hey, camels are kinda unpredictable. You know they spit?" No, instead they said, "Let's walk it down the aisle like it's a trained theater talent," and now someone's going to the ER because a camel has had enough of Christmas. Every single time I go down the, uh, the- the side road here by, uh, Sunnyside Road and I drive towards Culver's or some other place, uh, maybe like Walmart on Utah, something like that, I'll drive by the camels at the Idaho Falls Zoo. And every single time, I'll scream out, "Camel!" A- and they'll just look at me. And hopefully they don't have, uh, precise aim to spit at me in a moving vehicle. Here's something that put a genuine smile on my face. In Portland, Organd, Organd? Really? Did I just say that? In Portland, Oregon there's an annual holiday fundraiser. I can't even say the name of it, otherwise I would get a Jade Pucker alert to JPA. The name for it, it sounds wild when you first hear it. I'm not gonna say it, 

00:16:21,372 --> 00:18:11,812 [Speaker 1]
but it's put on by a- a group of local performers and entertainers who get together each year to raise toys and money for this, uh, children's hospital. Over the past 14 years, they've raised more than $180,000 worth of toys and gifts for kids who are in the hospital during the holidays. It started as a small thing. The first year they raised a, uh, few, just a few hundred dollars. They filled a little wagon with toys. It has turned into the biggest single toy drive for that hospital. The money people donate gets spent at local shops and toys that go straight into the hospital's, uh, child life therapy program, which uses them to help kids, uh, feel a little bit more like kids when they're going through really, really tough medical stuff. I love that this thing exists. It's the kind of story where the headline might make you raise an eyebrow, and if you're not knowin' what I'm, what I'm talking about here, it says, "Strippers are now the number one donor of toys to children's hospital in Portland. This year they broke their own record." You see what I mean? The impact is straight up good. People coming together, doing something positive and actually making the holidays brighter for families who need it. That's, that- that- that's worth talking about. I love when radio shows talk about mundane things. You know, I'm guilty of doing it here. I was looking at what the, uh, Woody & Wilcox show was talking about earlier this morning. Ideal thermostat setting for your holiday party. You ever walk into that old person's home, you know, it's most likely grandma's house that you're going to. You walk inside wearing your best ugly Christmas sweater. You're bundled up because it's cold outside. You get in there and it's like a sauna, and it sucks. And you're extra hot 'cause you're trying to be festive. You're wearing that nice Christmas sweater that keeps you warm, so you sweat. 

00:18:11,812 --> 00:18:49,340 [Speaker 1]
Oh, it's unbearable. It's- it's awful.Luckily I never had to go to my, uh, grandma's house back when I was a kid 'cause my- my grandparents... My mom- my mom's mom passed away when I was like three, so there was no spending time with her. My dad's mom lived until about, I think last year. Was it last year when she passed away? She would never h- host anything. She didn't like people. [laughs] She just... M- my uncle Bob took care of my, uh, my grandparents on my dad's side, so my uncle Bob would stop by the house 

00:18:49,340 --> 00:18:53,300 [Speaker 1]
and my grandparents would stay in the car. 

00:18:53,300 --> 00:19:09,660 [Speaker 1]
And they wou- they wouldn't even just... They wouldn't even say hi, nothing. They would just sit in the car and wait outside until uncle Bob came out like 10 minutes later, and said, "Okay. I made an appearance for you guys. Let's go somewhere else." Yeah. There was that. But 

00:19:09,660 --> 00:19:14,660 [Speaker 1]
I- I have gone to, uh, friends, families', uh, 

00:19:14,660 --> 00:20:48,780 [Speaker 1]
Christmas gatherings before, and it does suck when you have to wear that nice big Christmas sweater. And you go inside and it's like 82 degrees in the house. You're like, "Wh- why on earth is the house this hot? There's 30 people in here." 'Cause, you know, families out here, there's a ton of kids. Everyone knows their cousins. Everyone knows their- their great-aunts, whatever that is. Uh, I grew up just knowing my parents, my sister, and one or two uncles. Uncle Sonny, uncle Bob, that's pretty much it. And I- I- I hardly ever got to see my cousins. All my cousins were not- were not even really my age. I have a cousin that's like 47. That's my- my uncle Sonny's kid. I- I- it's... Uh, I grew up just knowing my immediate family. So, when I come out here and I see these families knowing everyone in their family, I don't know if I get jealous or if I'm like, "Oh, whew. I'm glad I dodged a bullet with that one." I don't have to have this giant, you know, giant gathering at grandma's house where it's 85 degrees on the inside and I'm sweating my butt off. Those presents that grandma... Th- those presents from grandma better be good on Christmas if- if the house is that unbearable. Are you aware of that show, My Strange Addiction? It's a- it's a weird one. I- I- I have never really sat down and watched an episode of that show 'cause I feel like I would be grossed out completely. It's going to return January 7th, 9:00 PM Eastern Time, on what channel? TLC. Featuring shocking news stories about people being addicted to things like raw meat. Apparently, the first episode shows a woman eating raw hamburger just daily. 

00:20:48,780 --> 00:21:23,960 [Speaker 1]
Another one, blending meats to snort. What is going on here? A bodybuilder's size obsession. Someone living with over 100 snakes. Imagine going to that person's house. You know that house would have to be hot on the inside too. We just talked about where like your grandma's house is over 80 degrees for some reason 'cause old people, they're very frail. If it gets below 65 degrees, it's freezing to them. I can't imagine how hot and miserable it'd be, and scary it would be at the same time, to go into somebody's house that has over 100 snakes. Do you sign up to be on this, uh, show too?

00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:48,300 [Speaker 1]
 Are you like, "You know what? I- I have a weird addiction. I eat raw hamburger every single day. Why don't I sign up for this show?" Who do you contact to sign up for this? Do you submit an email to somebody? How do these people get on the show? 'Cause most of these people... I- I can't imagine being a hoarder 

00:21:48,300 --> 00:21:53,000 [Speaker 1]
and you get signed up to be on that show. You know how mad I would be? 

00:21:53,000 --> 00:22:08,240 [Speaker 1]
[laughs] Someone signs you up, like, "Hey, your house is so bad I signed you up to be on the TV show Hoarders." Th- those have to be mostly fake, right? I don't know. But My Strange Addiction... Wasn't there someone that was addicted to eating mattresses? 

00:22:08,240 --> 00:24:10,040 [Speaker 1]
Did th- that guy's best friend sign him up and go, "Hey, by the way, I got you on My Strange Addiction. I don't know how much they'll pay you, but if they even get paid at all... I just... Yeah, I just volunteered you for the show My Strange Addiction. You're gonna get blasted to the world about how weird you are." Alright, so you know how I, uh, did my list with Metal Burb? Shout out to Metal Burb. He's awesome. I, uh, interviewed him for about 40 minutes or so. It's on our YouTube, @KBear101RMG. I, uh, shared him... Shared with him my list of my favorite albums of 2025, and he seemed to like my list. Now, Barack Obama has revealed his favorite songs of 2025. This whole list is a bunch of songs I have never even heard of. I'm not gonna judge him for his music taste 'cause I know other people have way different music tastes compared to me. That's how everyone is. Everyone's different, you know? With radio it's hard to... It's hard to, uh... What is it? It's try- It's hard to please everyone when you're- when you're in radio because a- a vast majority of people love Sleep Token. But there's that group of loudmouths that hate it and they tell you every single time that they hate Sleep Token. They know who they are. They want everyone to know that their music taste is superior. Anyway, I'm looking at 2025 Barack Obama's Favorite Music, and I see Abracadabra from Lady Gaga at the top. That's one of the like two songs I recognize on here. I recognize that one and I recognize The Giver from Chappell Roan. And d- I need to remind you that I think it was last year that I was calling her Chappell Roan. I had no idea who- who she was, what she looked like, anything. Jason Isbell, Bury Me. Okay, maybe I recognize that track. But some of these I'm like, "What in the world are these names?" Pending from Lil Nay, N-A-A-Y, and Myke Towers. Okay. There's a song called Metal by The Beths. 

00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,700 [Speaker 1]
Should we listen to some of that? 

00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:33,322 [Speaker 1]
If- if it's a song called Metal, I need to know about it, right?Metal by The Beths. Okay, are the lyrics here? Am I able to read these? Oh, perfect. [metal music] Is that the song? Oh, that is, that is the song. Here we go. [metal music] I kinda like the intro. [metal music] Oh, apparently it is metal. 

00:24:33,322 --> 00:24:47,323 [Speaker 1]
There's no way. Okay, it's listed on Spotify as metal. I'm not kidding. The song is called Metal, and it's listed as metal. The Beths. [metal music] 

00:24:47,323 --> 00:24:51,414 [Speaker 2]
So you need the metal in your blood. To keep you- 

00:24:51,414 --> 00:25:03,254 [Speaker 1]
This is certainly not metal in the least, all right? I'm sorry. [laughs] I don't wanna sound like one of those guys, "Not metal at all," but this is not metal. This is, uh, acoustic, uh, folk or maybe alternative. 

00:25:03,254 --> 00:25:08,803 [Speaker 2]
... alive. And you read the compass in your eyes. 

00:25:08,803 --> 00:25:09,414 [Speaker 1]
I'm waiting for the screaming to start. 

00:25:09,414 --> 00:25:10,883 [Speaker 2]
So you can stay right. 

00:25:10,883 --> 00:25:12,224 [Speaker 1]
Then this is truly metal. 

00:25:12,224 --> 00:25:16,563 [Speaker 2]
So you surf the earth's magnetic core. To keep you alive. 

00:25:16,563 --> 00:25:18,664 [Speaker 1]
I feel like it's not gonna change. Let's fast-forward here 

00:25:18,664 --> 00:25:20,323 [Speaker 2]
... in your machine. 

00:25:20,323 --> 00:25:22,642 [Speaker 1]
I'm now a minute in, and it sounds exactly the same. 

00:25:22,642 --> 00:25:25,904 [Speaker 2]
You're fitted for the stride. So you need the metal in your- 

00:25:25,904 --> 00:25:29,873 [Speaker 1]
Okay, let's keep going. Let's go, uh, about two minutes in. 

00:25:29,873 --> 00:25:33,904 [Speaker 2]
... in. When I try, I see shore. 

00:25:33,904 --> 00:25:40,184 [Speaker 1]
All right. Well, that's, uh, that's Metal from The Beths, right there. 

00:25:40,184 --> 00:25:40,204 [Speaker 2]
I see shore. 

00:25:40,204 --> 00:28:17,803 [Speaker 1]
Made Barack Obama's, uh, favorite music list. I wonder, uh, how these artists feel if they, uh, see themselves on here. Oh, I recognize Ordinary from Alex Warren, that generic track. Oh right, let's just move on. Let's play some Nothin' More. They're gonna cover, uh, Nine Inch Nails on this one. We're In This Together on Peaches Pit Party. Only in Florida do you commit a crime on the way to court for another crime. A, uh, 39-year-old woman, she was arrested after police say she drove a stolen U-Haul van to a federal courthouse, where she was scheduled to stand trial for a massive COVID relief fraud case. Let me repeat that slowly. She allegedly stole a vehicle to attend court for a federal crime. Cops pulled her over just a few blocks from the courthouse after a license plate reader flagged the van as stolen. When officers asked why she thought she was being stopped, she reportedly said, "Oh, I know why. I'm on my way to court for a federal crime," which is not confidence. That's a, th- that's a, uh, resignation letter from your own brain, really. Turns out she rented the van for one day two months ago and never returned it, so instead of walking into court, she got rerouted straight to county jail. And here's the part that really seals it. Prosecutors say she was already facing charges tied to 92 fake COVID relief applications that allegedly pulled in $29 million. Shell companies, money laundering, the whole thing. She was out on a quarter million dollar bond, which is now gone, so congratulations. Not only are you, uh, still facing up to 20 years in prison, but you also managed to add grand theft auto to the itinerary before even making it inside the courthouse. That is today's What the Headline? Florida continues to be undefeated. Okay, so when did people become now obsessed with advent calendars? I've talked about the, uh, recent obsession with The Grinch. Now, all of a sudden, it's advent calendars everywhere. Uh, people were talking about the Red Bull advent calendar. That thing was like 50 bucks at Costco. I saw them for myself. There was also a giant advent calendar that they had for sale, where it was like 100 and something dollars. You would get all these different snacks. This one I'm looking at here, a luxury whiskey advent calendar with a price tag of about $10,500. Is that worth it? Absolutely not. For the pri- for that price, you, you get a handmade oak and walnut cabinet containing 24 wax-sealed drams? Is that how you say it? I don't know. I'm not a drinker. Of some of the rarest spirits on the planet. You better get that for that price. 

00:28:17,803 --> 00:28:48,143 [Speaker 1]
It says here, "If that's a bit out of your price range," well, obviously, that's everyone, uh, most people. The Spirit Company also offers one for only, another advent calendar for only $870, and another for about 275 bucks. I wonder what you get in that one. Can I see a picture of this stupid thing? Oh, wow. Yeah. That thing, that wooden briefcase-looking thing is $10,500? 

00:28:48,143 --> 00:31:32,424 [Speaker 1]
And those containers of whiskey are very, very, very, very small. I would be heated if I paid $10,500 for this crap. Highland Park, 40-year-old, uh, the, there's a whole list here. Do you get the fanciest whiskey on the, uh, [laughs] o- on Christmas Eve? Is that it? The, th... What's the cr- country song that Victor keeps talking about, the "Daddy Don't Come Home Drunk for Christmas"? This is going to fuel that. Y- y-, uh, $10,500, I would start drinking if I paid that much money for anything. Yesterday, I, uh, posted this long speech on Reddit, talking about how the "Where's the snow?" posts are the dumbest thing on the planet, because there is no definite answer to that question. Uh, um, the, uh, well, actually, there is a definite answer to that question. Like, "Hey, it's not here." [laughs] Enjoy the warmth while you can, because pretty soon, once the snow does come, that's when everyone starts complaining about the "How are the roads?" posts, or people start complaining about how the snow is just unbearable, that type of thing. I, I, I just got onto Facebook. First post I see posted in Life In Idaho Falls, out of all places, "Hey, so for those of us who don't have a pulse on this, what is actually being done to relieve the traffic in this town?" One person just simply put "Nothing," and I feel like that's, that's the true answer right there.Another person, "Nothing. The only kind of plan that was proposed was to build a perimeter parkway from the south end of town and cutting north. But of course, people who live along those areas are way against it. So we're gonna keep stacking traffic on 1st, 17th, and Sunnyside." Leaving work every single day absolutely sucks. N- it, you get out, we get out at 5:00, takes me like 20 minutes to get to my place just because of all the people. And you know, it- it's that terrible time of the year where people come back home for the holidays or they, uh... I don't know. But there'll be, there's tons more people here because of the holidays approaching. One guy went on a tangent just saying, "It's going to get worse. Our population is continuing to grow. We have more developers requesting permits for more multi-family and single family homes in our area. The days of light traffic are gone." Way to be dramatic there, buddy. "I was talking about this with my wife the other night, and I remember when we used to go to Sunnyside to a- uh, avoid 17th Street traffic, and now it doesn't matter what street you're on. There is no avoiding traffic to get around town. My guess is that things are going to get significantly worse before we start seeing changes that will actually help reduce traffic." Honestly, I agree with what he's saying. 

00:31:32,424 --> 00:32:42,164 [Speaker 1]
Trying to take Sunnyside and Holmes all the way back to my place absolutely stinks. Absolutely. There's way too many people, like also texting while driving. I've noticed that. Put down the phone, especially when you're at a s- when you're at a stoplight. Don't be that person that, you know, causes e- it turns green and you're still not moving because you're looking down at your phone distracted. Be focused the entire time. By the way, tomorrow, Traffic School Powered by The Advocates. A great plug [laughs] right now. Traffic School Powered by The Advocates, tomorrow morning, 8:45.
