00:00:00,100 --> 00:12:07,928 [Speaker 0]
[upbeat music] Well, good afternoon. It is hump day, February 11th, 2026. I did not expect to take yesterday off. I'm not sick or anything. I just woke up in the middle of the night around 4:00 AM. My heart was racing. I went, "Oh, no! What's this?" You know, you know how in the middle of the night when your, your brain is going a million miles per hour? That was happening on top of the racing heartbeat. Wasn't out of rhythm, just going fast, so I thought something bad was about to happen. I thought my right arm was going numb. You know how you get paranoid as well. So I was swinging my arm around again. I ran to the bathroom. I believe it was the fastest that I had ever gotten out of bed 'cause I was just ready to go. The heart must have been going fast for a short while. Not exactly if it was... Uh, not exactly sure if it was my CPAP that didn't properly blow air into my face, 'cause maybe the hose disconnected or something. There's been that- I, I, I've been using this mask for a short while, and I feel like the back of it, the rubber side of it, is kind of, uh, it's kind of giving out already 'cause it's start- it's starting to blow air again, like, up my nose, and it really is annoying. So I replaced it with a new one last night, and so I fixed that. Slept just fine last night. I don't know why I was freaked out. I started calling Aubrey over and over and over again, then realized after about eight times of her not answering, I try- I just tried my best to calm myself down 'cause I'd also realized, yeah, it would've been selfish of me to wake her up. She just started a new job, so it would've been weird for me to wake her up in the middle of the night and talk about how I was freaking out, then make her worried about me. Finally fell back asleep around 6:30, and then woke up again at 7:20 when Aubrey started calling me because, yeah, she woke up, saw the missed calls, and went, "What on earth happened? What's going on?" And so she was freaking out. Calls me, wakes me up, I answer. I was knocked out asleep, woke up, I went, "Well, okay, you know what? [chuckles] I'm just..." Uh, y- yesterday, I just- I was just like, "I'm calling out. I, I, I'm not gonna come to work." I, I... Victor, Jade, Maddie, no one was going to be here, so I, I, I might as well have, uh, just decided to take the day off, and so I did, but now I'm back. And yeah, Maddie, Victor, Jade, they're all coming back today from Salt Lake City. Ghost performed at the Delta Center last night. I feel like a good portion of the KBEAR Rock Army went down to Salt Lake City yesterday. It looked like it was an awesome show. I don't care if you love, hate Ghost, they put on one amazing live performance, and many people saw that last night at the, uh, the Delta Center. I'm looking forward to going to see Bad Omens, uh, Beartooth, and President, also at the Delta Center, coming up in 11 days. I'm thinking what happened, uh, two nights ago, was a panic attack. I had, like, a cold sweat as well. I'm not trying to get diagnosed with anything from a listener or anything like that, so, but you're, you're more than welcome to hit me up for anything else over at 208-535-1015. It is Peaches Pit Party. I'm back in studio doing this show. We'll find some stuff to talk about right here on KBEAR 101. [whooshing sound] There are a lot of people out there who like to date people, uh, date others with many red flags, and that's okay. Well, somewhat okay. If they're- if they've got, uh, trouble with the law, if they've been in trouble with the law before, maybe you should, uh, you know, turn them in if they have an outstanding warrant out for their arrest. If you're still bitter about your ex this Valentine's Day, uh, Harris County, Texas, if you're streaming us via the KBEAR 101 app or at kbear.fm from close to Harris County, Texas, and you have that ex that's just, you know, bothering you still, a-a-and you realize, "Wait a minute, weren't they arrested a couple years back, and they were still..." Or they, they weren't arrested. They, they did something, uh, not that long ago, and maybe cops are still looking for them. Law enforcement down there is once again running their Arrest Your Ex special. If your ex has outstanding warrants, you can call it in, and deputies promise limited, uh, limited edition platinum bracelets, a one-night stay with complimentary PJs, even a professional glamour shot. You get it? I feel like I might have to explain that joke to some people. A one-night stay with complimentary PJs, you know, jail, professional glamour shot, mugshot. Overall, turn them in! I'm not saying this is, like, the pettiest Valentine's promotion of all time, but it might be the, the pettiest Valentine's promotion of all time. Imagine getting a call like, "Hey, I got you something for Valentine's Day." Next thing you know, click, click, silver bracelets, mugshot lighting. Now, obviously, this only applies if they've got actual warrants. Don't go snitching just because he still owes you $40 and a hoodie, that type of thing. But I'm just picturing someone sitting there with chocolates and a glass of wine like, "You know what? Let, let, let's make one phone call." Nothing says closure [chuckles] like county jail. [whooshing sound] I find it so much fun when there's an actual AI program built or something gets built, and then the internet ruins it, right? There's a new government-backed nutrition chatbot that's supposed to help Americans make healthier food choices, and, well, the internet immediately decided to test it in the weirdest way possible. Instead of asking about, you know, maybe protein intake, balanced diet, somebody asked it about the best foods for extremely unconventional uses. I'll, I'll, I'll just put it that way, all right? The bot just calmly started recommending bananas, cucumbers. N-no hesitation, n-n-nothing. Just said, "Hey, you should try these." At what point does the AI stop and say, "You know what? I think you need a different kind of professional," huh? The government put this out there for, uh, health help, and sure enough, people decided to ruin it. I, I, I thought it was pretty funny. [whooshing sound] I was reading here about this, uh, 12-year-old kid in Dallas who literally built a nuclear fusion machine and is trying to be the youngest ever in the world. He has spent four years on it, starting at eight. He's got plasma in there, and now he's submitting it to Guinness World Records, basically trying to out-science the rest of us before he can even vote, right? I, I'm still trying to figure out simple things that Jade explains to me r- uh, involving or revolving around, uh, music production.... meanwhile, this guy is over here messing with nuclear fusion. Are, are, are his parents smart? Is he one of those rare thing-- what, is he like young Sheldon, where he has those parents that, you know, they're, they're of normal intelligence, maybe a little tad below? Sure enough, their kid comes out like a genius for whatever reason. That would be such a pain. You just walk into your kid's bedroom, you see him messing with things, and he, he's taking stuff out of the kitchen, out of the bathroom. You walk in there, he's doing some kind of experiment. That'd be worse than having, like, I don't know, a kid like me who's just bigger than most, but acts like a baby. You know, a giant two-year-old that cries louder than most people. I would rather deal with that than ever deal with, like, a young Sheldon kind of character, where, uh, you have to basically buy him the expensive calculator because, well, he's gonna be taking those advanced math classes in high school. You know that for a fact. My sister was like that, and I, I remember one of her, uh... What, what, what's that, what's that sheet they give out at the beginning part of the semester, where they say, "Hey," oh, the school supply sheet, where they're like, "Hey, you'll be needing this for this class," you know, so on and so forth. I remember my parents seeing that calculator that they specifically wanted, and that thing was, like, two hundred dollars. It's utterly ridiculous what they expect out of, uh, people. Do they still do that? I'm not sure, but I just thought this was a, an, "Oh, good for you" story about this twelve-year-old genius making me look bad. [whooshing] Last night, the unranked Florida State men's basketball team took on number fifteen Virginia in Tallahassee. Head coach Luke... Oh, how do you say this one? Uh, Lux? Luke Lux. Oh, that's, there's the pronunciation guide right there. Luke Lux wanted to energize the home crowd, so he bought beer for the first five hundred fans who showed up to the game. Well, unfortunately, the free beer in the stands wasn't enough to power Florida State to a victory as they, uh, sputtered in the fourth quarter in a heartbreaking loss to Virginia. LeBron James did not play in last night's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It was his eighteenth missed game, making it impossible for him to reach sixty-five games played this season. This means he won't be eligible for the league's annual awards, including a spot on the All-NBA team. It's a bummer for James because, well, he had been named All-NBA for a record-setting twenty-one straight seasons. As a comparison, basketball legends Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant, and Tim Duncan are in second place with only fifteen All-NBA awards. YouTube has finally announced its long-rumored Sports plan package, which allows subscribers to just stream sports channels. It costs sixty-five dollars a month, down from the eighty-three dollars a month that regular YouTube TV package costs. Um, the Sports plan includes all of the ESPN and Fox Sports channels, NBC Sports Network, TNT, or the NBC Sports Network, TNT, TBS, and TruTV, USA Network, the NFL Network, Big Ten Network, NBA TV. Uh, do I have to keep listing these off, or do you get it? All right, one m- one final thing here about the Super Bowl, and then I'm done talking about it. While Super Bowl LX was a big day for sports betting, Nevada sports books saw a decline in action this year. Nevada sports books won almost ten million dollars on a hundred and thirty-three point eight million dollars in bets. Both numbers were down from last year, when Vegas won a record twenty-two point one million on one hundred and fifty-one point six million dollars in wagers. In general, the entire Las Vegas scene has been in decline since the floodgates opened for nationwide legalized sports betting, and that trend looks like it will continue with wagering casino games now available on cell phones in most states. That is it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on KBEAR one-oh-one. [whooshing] March 14th, better known as Pi Day, you know, three point one four. You're probably going to wake up, scroll, scroll your phone, maybe complain about the weather, or you could throw on a hoodie and actually do something that matters. There's this, uh, Frosty Footsteps 5K that I've talked about plenty of times on the air r- right by now, but I'm still gonna talk about it even more so. It's happening at the Snake River Landing Waterfront, and every dollar that's raised by the Frosty Footsteps 5K will go straight to the Idaho Falls Rescue Mission. Not a portion, one hundred percent. Run it, walk it, sponsor it, volunteer. If you've been meaning to get involved in something local, this is your sign. The Frosty Footsteps 5K, again, March 14th, Snake River Landing Waterfront. If you want more details, walkinthecold.com is the link. [whooshing] So over this past weekend, it was extremely unfortunate. I talked about how it actually made me very sad. Brad Arnold, the vocalist of Three Doors Down, passed away. He was only forty-seven years old. I mean, that's too soon. Way too soon. Forty-seven years old, died of stage four clear cell, uh, r- renal carcinoma. Is that it? Kidney cancer, overall. That's what I'll just call it, kidney cancer. He passed away from that, and so I posted a video of Three Doors Down back when I saw them at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre in August or September of twenty twenty-four. It was them performing "Kryptonite." I had a pretty good camera angle. I see Brad right there singing by the American flag. You know, their, one of their, uh, members is a huge patriot, so he was wearing the, "My pronouns are patriot," or something like that o- on his T-shirt. There's the American flag on stage. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm just saying, he's... They're, they're extra proud about the, about the country. And so I had this awesome camera angle of Brad singing right by the American flag. And sure enough, I just said, "Going through my concert videos, came across this moment of Three Doors Down performing 'Kryptonite.' Grateful I got to see it." I did not expect that video to take off the way that it did. I'm looking at it. It has over two thousand likes. I think there's, like, twenty thousand plus views on it. Twenty-six thousand five hundred and twenty-four views as of right now on that video, and since my Facebook is monetized, I've made, like, five dollars just by posting a random concert video. So maybe after all this time of me telling people, "Hey, do not record concerts on your phone," [chuckles] maybe it's good, but I feel greedy for taking that money. So 

00:12:07,928 --> 00:21:15,668 [Speaker 0]
I feel like what I'm gonna do is, whatever gets raised in total on this video-... I'm gonna donate it in Brad Arnold's name to a cancer research fund something like that, 'cause I, I would feel horrible just taking that money for myself [laughs] and keeping it and being like the- I, I, I, uh, what's the word I'm looking for? I took advantage of Brad Arnold's passing and took all the money for myself. Absolutely not. No, I wanna make sure that five bucks can go to the cancer re- cancer research fund, uh, uh, in Brad Arnold's name, just as a small little tribute. I know I played "It's Not My Time" on Monday. I, I could add on to that and donate some money as well. [whooshing sound] I, I really wanna know, do people actually sit there watching the Super Bowl halftime show just seething with anger? 'Cause it seems like it. We've got a brand-new crisis in America, the Super Bowl halftime show. Apparently, one of our elected congressmen thinks the real threat to the nation is not inflation, crime, or anything else, it's widespread twerking. [laughs] A Tennessee lawmaker has officially called for a federal investigation into Bad Bunny's halftime performance. Like I said before, it was so funny watching how many people online, uh, right after the Super Bowl were like, "I watched the Kid Rock halftime show!" But those, those same people were making fun of Kid Rock not that long ago for being an awful artist. [laughs] You know? Uh, it's been... This guy called for a federal investigation into this whole thing, saying the NFL and NBC should be hauled before Congress before people moved their hips on TV. It's basically the political equivalent of yelling at clouds. I mean, you've seen the show. Millions watched it. It features dances, guest stars. Now someone wants the FCC to dust off a magnifying glass because um, apparently, America was ruined by booty shakes. [whooshing sound] I hate to be that guy, but people still play Pokémon GO, really? It's been around forever now. By forever, I mean 10 years. It, I, I think it started in 2016. The weirdest headline about it isn't a rare shiny or a community day. No, it's that the developers just removed a PokéStop that was on Epstein Island. Yes, that island. After players started, uh, spoofing their GPS and pretending to go there to catch them all. You know, it raises the question, first, how does a kids' game ever end up with a landmark on the most inappropriate place on Earth? And second, are people really like, "Yeah, I'll, I'll travel there for virtual items?" [laughs] Like, really? So is it Niantic, or Niantic finally pulled the stop once they realized they accidentally made the most controversial tourism campaign in video game history. Uh, I, I remember working in Knott's Berry Farm back in 2016 when that game came out and people were playing it on the log ride, the ride that I was working at, and so instead of joint- en-enjoying the ride and watching all the different things that happened on that ride, they were focused on their phones. 'Cause I, I think there was a PokéStop in the middle of the park, or there might have been Pokémon, like, on the ride itself that they were trying to catch. It was pretty funny watching these people with their phones out, just completely soaked from the ride, coming back, and they go, "I caught a, I caught a Gastly!" or whatever that Pokémon's called. [whooshing sound] It's a middle-of-the-week check-in. If you're sitting at work right now thinking, "There has to be something better than this," you are not alone whatsoever. HireEastIdaho.com just redesigned the site, and it's packed with local jobs from local companies, not listings three states away. This week's job of the week, you know, Melaleuca, a prominent company- company right here in East Idaho. They're hiring a morning shift quality assurance specialist, $16.10 an hour. If you're detail-oriented and like hands-on work, it's, uh, worth a look. No cost to you. New jobs are added all the time. Again, that's HireEastIdaho.com, HireEastIdaho.com. Go find yourself a new job. [whooshing sound] Moose are incredible creatures. They're not something to mess with whatsoever. I had to look up, how fast do, uh, moose run? They, they can run up to 35 miles per hour on land and trot steadily at 20 miles per hour. Also, despite their large size, they are excellent swimmers, moving at speeds of up to six miles per hour for up to two hours. Their long legs allow them to navigate deep snow, mud, and water with ease. Moose are one of those animals you don't realize how big they are until you see them. You're like, "Whoa! [laughs] Now that, that's massive." They're massive, right? This Saskatchewan man, the reason why I'm talking about this, he, uh, fought off a starving moose with his own fists, a shovel, and some bullets to save his mother. He got in between the moose and his mom to fight it off. Luckily, uh, yeah, the moose ran out of there. Sure enough, you know, f- it's, it's fight or flight, and the guy, the s- the son, helped protect his mom, and I thought that was just wonderful. Uh, I'm glad I don't have to deal with that type of thing. I'm glad I don't live in a place like Saskatchewan. Anyway, here's President with "Destroy Me" on K-Barrel 101. [whooshing sound] And now for something completely creepy, a video making the rounds on Chinese social media appears to show a goldfish swimming around a tank without a head. Now, here's the really horrifying part: it's not AI-generated. It's the real deal, and it's completely backed by science. Last month, a, uh, goldfish owner in China posted a video of one of his fish cruising around its take with- tank with a gaping hole where its head should have been. No eyes, no mouth, part of its brain gone, and yet the little guy kept swimming as if nothing had happened. It's Headless Hank, you know? D- so how does something like this even happen? The owner exclaimed, expl- ex- explained that the tissue on the fish's head just started dying off, like, from- likely from an infection, so as the tissue weakened, the other fish in the tank began pecking or pecking at it, eventually leaving the fish effectively headless. Now here comes the science. A goldfish's brain is stretched out in a line that runs from the head into the body. I didn't know this. I was just reading about it here. The front part handles things like sight and smell, but the real support system is tucked safely into the body. As long as that, uh, that brain stem stays intact, the fish can breathe and keep its blood moving. According to the owner, the headless goldfish managed to survive for about two weeks. Is it dead now? I'm assuming so, 'cause how can it eat? Did it just vacuum up the, the food? It, it, it would know where to go. It'd probably keep running into things. I'm sure the other fish are just freaked out by it. They're like, "What's this headless thing just swimming around?" Oh, I see the video of it!... Oh, that's awful! I don't- I'm turning that off. All right, [laughing] that's today's What the Headline right here on K-Bear 101. Maybe I should have included this in the, uh, Shot Clock Sports Update. On May 29th, the Texas Rangers will be giving away throwback jerseys, but not the kind you might be thinking of. These are pretty cool, pretty metal, to say the least. Normally, throw- throwbacks pay homage to a memorable era or year from- for a team. This promotional giveaway, however, will honor one specific game: when Nolan Ryan got his lip gashed fielding a ball and proceeded to throw an eight-inning gem in a soon-to-be iconic white jersey stained with blood. During a September 1990 game against the Rangers, uh, K- Kansas City Royals outfielder Bo Jackson connected on a Ryan pitch, with the sharply hit ball one-hopping off the ground right into Ryan's face. Ryan, unfazed, proceeded to field the ball and throw out Jackson at first, but damage had been done. The ball had opened a two-inch gash in Ryan's lip, one that would require six stish- stitches to close the gash after the game. The key phrase in that sentence, "after the game," 'cause he just kept going and going and going. Of course, Nolan Ryan, the best pitcher of all time. I still talk about that story, about when he was, uh, in his later part of his career. He was about 40-something years old. Um, some batter ran up to him. You can find the video of it on YouTube. Uh, I guess the batter was upset, maybe because, uh, N- Ryan was maybe trying to intentionally hit him with the ball. Who knows? But the batter comes running up, charges the mound. Ryan [laughing] then puts the, the young kid into a headlock and starts punching him in the head. Again, the legend that is Nolan Ryan. YouTube Music has officially announced a brand-new feature, and by feature, I mean, you know, you now have to pay extra money just to see the song lyrics. Yeah, really! Let's take a second here. You want me to subscribe to see the words to the song that's already playing? So if I'm in the shower, jamming to something, and I want the lyrics, I now need, what, a premium plan and a, uh, poetic sensibility subscription, something like that. This is basically the music industry's way of saying, "We know you already pay to stream the song. Now we'll charge you again if you want to know what it actually says." At this point, I'm just waiting for the, for the next update. You can pay extra to hear the chorus louder than the verses type of thing, right? You could pay me. You could call up and pay me if you really wanted to, and I could, uh, say the song lyrics as the song is playing right here on K-Bear.
