Well, where do I even begin? Well, I do know. It is in fact, a hump day, Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025. I have zero volume in my headphones. There we go. Much, much better. If you wanna get a hold of me, you can over at 208-535-1015. What an eventful night last night. All right. So, I'm- I'm sitting there... Well, okay. Here's the thing. I get off work. I go to my beard appointment. I get my beard all nice and trimmed. Make myself look better. Couldn't get any worse, but yeah. Tried making myself look better. Shout out to Cahoy. You know, styling it, profiling it, everything, you know. I go to my beard appointment. I then go back to my place. I then DoorDash food 'cause I didn't really wanna go anywhere else. I- I was, uh, petrified of the weather, so I- I instead made the dumb decision to pay extra money to have someone else deliver my food to me. Have them, you know, put themselves at risk, slipping in the snow. Hopefully you stayed safe last night as well. But, uh, yeah, no. So I, uh, made my way back to my apartment. I was sitting there playing some UNO with the homies via, you know, D- Discord and all of that, and
we're just hanging out, having a good time. I then stopped playing UNO, switched over to Postal 2. Started playing that dumb game about wh- where you just kill people for no reason whatsoever. It's why- That's why it's called Postal, Postal 2. And then all of a sudden, my phone goes off. I get a notification from Reddit. Usually, whenever I get a notification from Reddit, it's some dumb thing about like, "Oh, hey. Somebody posted here. You should check it out." Blah, blah, blah. I look down at my phone. Just glance down at my phone and saw it said, "Permanently banned." So that immediately made me go, "What?" And I- I go look at my phone, and it said I have been banned from the subreddit R/Seether.
Seether, the band that had a lot of hits back in the early 2000s. It was their subreddit that I got permanently banned from. So, here's the thing. This is like my third time explaining this today. I'm tired of explaining it. I gotta explain it one more time when I post a video all about this, 'cause I- I just- it's just such- such a funny situation. Where I, uh, s- six months ago s- Was it six months ago? Back in May? Yeah, back in May. Whenever Seether was here in Idaho Falls, I asked that subreddit prior to that show, 'cause I was interviewing Dale Stewart of Seether. They're a guitarist, right? So, I decided, as a nice gesture, to be like, "Hey, you know what? Let me go to R/Seether and ask any Seether fanatics in there what are some questions that you guys might have that I could potentially ask Dale from Seether." So, they- they... Instead of giving me like these actual pretty good questions, they- they give me the usual questions of like, "Why haven't you guys released this? Why haven't you guys done this?" All this, like, very, uh... Oh, oh. It was like... Very... It- it... Questions that were basically me interrogating Dale. Like, asking him, "Why haven't you done this in a while? What- what happened to this?" Blah, blah, blah. That type of thing. So, I didn't ask any single one of their questions, 'cause I knew for a fact the interview would not go well if I asked one of their questions. I get 10 minutes with Dale prior to the show. We go to this like little mini locker room inside the Mountain America Center. We're at a round table. Wasn't even set up for us. It was just there. We just sat down and had the conversation there. I'm only allowed 10 minutes with Dale. I'm not gonna start, all of a sudden, go, "Why haven't you guys released the deluxe edition of the latest album yet? What's going on with you?" So, I do my interview. Goes normal. Dale leaves. I- I felt like he had a great time. I then upload the interview and then share it in R/Seether. That was my big mistake. You wanna know why? Because every- not every single person, like five loudmouths in there... One of them was the moderator, I found out. And like four other people were just so irate that I didn't ask their very negative questions,
that they just started throwing a fit. They gave my interview a bunch of dislikes. They started leaving comments in the comment section. You know, that type of thing. And so then, it wasn't until recently, like a few days ago. Fast-forward to now. Victor is now uploading all of our podcasts to our YouTube channel. So, the episode from, I believe, May 23rd of Peaches Pit Party On Demand. S- The title of that podcast was Seether Fans Need A Hug, and it was me talking about the whole situation. Well, the moderator of R/Seether just heard that last night apparently and got so mad at me that he decided to leave like a four-paragraph essay in the comment section, trying to justify his end of the whole thing. And then he proceeded to call me a garbage interviewer and that I shouldn't have a job in radio. Something like that.
And he was just very, very, very mean. And then proceeded to then, after that, m- permanently ban me from Seether's subreddit. Again, this is not a guy affiliated with the band. This is just some random loser who decided to, like, be in charge of Seether's subreddit. A band that, you know, predominantly peaked in the early 2000s. Had a lot of great hits back in the early 2000s.And they've just been touring recently. You know, they were awesome at the Mountain America Center. But I could not believe the audacity of this, like, whiny fan club.
Just they're so mad. Uh, uh, uh, they're so mad at a radio DJ for not asking their questions. That makes me a garbage interviewer. That's my long story to start off this show. [laughs] Victor this morning was talking about how it is a slower news day today, so
I guess we'll talk about whatever we can find here on Peaches Pit Party on KBear 101. [graphics whoosh] Yeah, I saw this headline pop up yesterday. Um, a customer at a GameStop store in Grapevine, Texas traded in a Pokemon card for $30,494.70, setting a record for the most valuable GameStop trade-in ever. It was a fully authenticated PSA 10 Holo Gengar. It was found to have a, uh, a fair market value of around 33,000, so, of course, GameStop, doing what they do best, Gave him less money for it. Uh, that's still quite a lot of money. I mean, did they have that in the register? Like, did they just give them a check? Like, h- how did they give this money to him? You know, GameStop officials took the opportunity to push back against any trolls who publicly claim that GameStop trade-in values are bad, is what it says here, "Adding any prior and ongoing objections to our trade values are now deemed without merit and factually invalid." $30,494, that gets you a pretty nice car. And you have that in a Pokemon card. It's pretty wild, you know? Again, did they just have this in a check waiting for 'em, or like how, what, what, how did they get him the money? Did they just g- give him a whole thing that says, "Hey," like, "please go to our corporate office," or maybe the bank will get you your 30 grand for a Pokemon card? Let's do some Autumn Cain's Sleep When I'm Dead. It's Peaches Pit Party.

[graphics whoosh] I haven't seen any of these stories pop up. This is the first time I've, uh, heard about it. Stories are supposedly swirling out there about something called the boomer stuff avalanche. It seems older people are just trying to downsize by giving away stuff to their kids. Some of the stuff is nice, usable, maybe sentimental, but other stuff is making people with older parents feel overwhelmed. It's too much stuff. And at the end of the day, it's unwanted. I remember when, uh, my grandparents, my grandma specifically on my dad's side, would try to gift us things. But it was more so her way of cleaning out, and she smoked a lot. Smoked like a pack a day back in her "prime." So it sucked when she would give us things 'cause it would smell like, it would just reek of cigarettes, and then we would just throw that crap away. Like, she would give us these dumb dolls and stuff. She had a whole doll room. My, my grandma, big time hoarder. Had birdhouses, had dolls, all this stuff. I can't imagine what my uncle Bob had to go through. My uncle Bob was my caretaker for my grandparents on my dad's side for many years before, you know, both my grandpa and then eventually my grandma passed away. Um, but I can only imagine going through that giant house and trying to sell everything, toss everything. Who knows what? But my grandpa, not my grandpa, my uncle Bob eventually downsized into a much smaller house. They c- they filled up a giant mansion in Huntington Harbor with all this crap. I mean, that would take a lot of stuff to buy. And I, I would hear stories about how my grandma would go to Amazon or even just go to HomeGoods and buy thousands of dollars worth, worth, worth of things. I'm t- if I had that type of money, I would do the same thing, but then I would also worry about my kids and grandkids [laughs] being bombarded with all this crap. Right now, I'm trying to minimalize everything. I talked about it last night. I'm trying to go through my entire apartment and just toss away all this excess stuff my parents gave me before I, uh, moved outta the f- the, the parent, the, my family's house. Uh, anyway, let's do some sleep talking. Here's Emergence. [graphics whoosh] With a record of nine and three, the Chicago Bears have been one of the biggest surprise stories of the NFL season, winning nine of their last 10 games after an oh and two start. When the rest of the sports world didn't believe in the Bears, at least one bettor did, and wagered $50,000 on the Bears at 66 to one odds to win Super Bowl 60. If this happens, the bet would win $3.3 million, which is not too shabby, right? Get ready for another Brady to start making headlines in a pro sport. Tom Brady's niece, Maya Brady, was chosen number one in the Athletes Unlimited Softball League Expansion Draft. Maya, who played shortstop at UCLA, joins the Oklahoma City Spark, which is one of the two teams joining the league for the 2026 season. Tom has called Maya the most dominant athlete in the Brady family by far.We'll see if her athletic dominance translates to success in the world of pro softball. And when you have Tom Brady saying that about you, you best believe that is the best, uh, letter of recommendation you could ever get. Two of the most iconic basketball broadcasters are finally teaming up in front of the camera. Dick Vitale and Charles Barkley will call two games together this season. The deal made possible with TNT working with ESPN where Vitale has worked for decades. Vitale and Barkley will analyze a game on ESPN December 13th between Indiana and Kentucky. Then they'll work on a first four matchup to begin the NCAA tournament in March on TruTV. This will be the first time the 86-year-old Vitale has called an NCAA tournament game on TV. This does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on K-Bear 101. You know, everyone's going to disagree with a list like this. Consequence, they, uh, did their 2025 annual report, the best metal and hard rock albums of the year. I'm quite shocked at some of their choices. Like, they, they put Hailstorm's Everest, is that the title of the album? Yeah, Everest. They put Hailstorm's Everest at number eight. I listened to some of the tracks off of that album. Even Katie Lee from Z103, who is a die-hard Hailstorm fan, said it's easily one of their worst albums, and that's at number eight on their annual- Consequence's annual report of the best albums of the year. Ghost Skeleta, number seven. Wasn't necessarily attention grabbing to me. Kind of the same old cookie-cutter Ghost for that one. You have some artists in here that I'm not necessarily familiar with, like Horror, Tomorrow We Escape at number six. La Dispute, No One Was Driving the Car at five.
One of the most underrated albums of the year, Spiritbox Tsunami C, that's at number four. I might need to play one of the tracks off of that album tomorrow for my pick of the day at 2:00 PM. Uh, Deftones' Private Music, not necessarily the biggest Deftones fan. I would say the second whiniest group behind the Seether crowd was that fan club when I did a reaction video to, uh, the first Deftones single that was released this year. I did a reaction video to it on our YouTube at K-Bear 101 RMG, and I did it, like, literally right as the track come out- came out. So many people in the comments were like, "Why would you react to something you just don't care for?" I'm like, "I can react to whatever I want to." It's my radio show. It's my, my YouTube channel. Of course I can react to this. I can react to Zillow listings if I really wanted to. Turnstile, Never Enough on Consequence's list at number two, uh, the, the list of the best albums of 2025. Turnstile, Never Enough. I personally thought it was a pretty good album, but Turnstile is now wildly different compared to how they used to be. So a lot of their classic hardcore fans aren't necessarily liking their new sound. And number one, number one on this list is Deafheaven, Lonely People With Power. We played Deafheaven on Jank Show. It's a, it's a tough listen. If you're not into black metal style vocals, this album is not gonna be for you, okay? [laughs] Lonely People With Power from Deafheaven says, "Deafheaven returns to black metal, but with a more guided hand, combining the whirlwind textures of their seminal Sunbather with the best elements of their softer 2021 release, Infinite Granite. The alchemical combo results in something arguably more potent than the..." Wh- wh- why do they have to talk so fancy with this article? Just be like, "Yeah, it was good. That's why it's a number one." Deafheaven, Lonely People With Power. Oh man, you know, any single time that you release, like, your own list of the best albums of the- of the year, somebody's gonna disagree. Like, my favorite album of the year is Architects, The Sky, The Earth, And All Between. I thought that was the best album of 2025. Let's do some Lamb of God right now. Sepsis on K-Bear 101. This game pops up every year. You think you can dodge Wham this holiday season? They call, they call it Whamageddon, the ultimate holiday survival game. The challenge is to make it 'til Christmas Eve without hearing Wham's Last Christmas. You know, this song is everywhere, from on the radio, on Classy '97, to shops, to the dentist's office. You know, the rules are simple. If you hear the original 1984 version of the song, you're out and have to post your fail to #whamageddon, is what it says here. Covers and remixes totally safe. The song is hard to escape, so be careful. I would say the worst Christmas song out there that you're gonna hear repeatedly is obviously the Mariah Carey All I Want For Christmas Is You cover, right? That's what I would think. I enjoy Wham. I wouldn't want to hear Mariah Carey. She's the one that gets memed about all the time. "She's defrosting, you know, every single time around October." "'She's defrosting.' She'll be here soon." I can't imagine being a, uh, Christmas station radio DJ and having to talk in between Christmas music. I just couldn't do it. I don't think... Un- unless they paid me a lot, then all of a sudden I'm very jolly for the season. [Whoosh] We talked about this on the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, but I wanted to bring it back up 'cause we mostly, for that segment at least, only talked about how Quentin Tarantino just said this one specific actor was just s- sucky. [laughs] And I can only imagine being that actor, and you have one of the best directors of all time just a- openly insulting you. So, Quentin Tarantino released his favorite films of the 21st century.
It started off with Black Hawk Down, and then number two
was Toy Story 3 from 2010.
That's the movie that he chose at number two. "That last five minutes ripped my heart out, and if I even try to describe the end, I'll start crying and get choked up. It's just remarkable. It's almost a perfect movie."That's what Quentin Tarantino said. And you know what? It was... I- I do agree with Quentin, it was the greatest end of a trilogy, and I don't know why they decided to go with Toy Story 4 and now Toy Story 5. Like, he could have just ended it there and left it at- at such. Three was, like, Lost in Translation, Dunkirk was number four. And then he goes on to say There Will Be Blood at five, but then
he says, "This movie would have been better if it wasn't for Paul Dano," who's in the movie. "Paul Dano is Weak Sauce Man [music] is what Quentin Tarantino said. "He is the weak sister. Austin Butler would have been wonderful in that role. He's j- just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy. The weakest actor in SAG." And then he laughed. What if Paul Dano just loses his mind and punches Quentin Tarantino? And just yells, "How weak is this?" And just, yeah, decks him right in the mouth. Goes on a full on- [stutters] goes on a full on rampage [laughs] about Quentin Tarantino. Oh, that'd be great. More Hollywood rivalries, huh? You know what's really funny? I'm glad somebody pointed this out on, uh, Reddit. Um, the stars in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Hollywood Walk of Fame, it- I'm sure on TV and movies, it's made to look like this awesome thing to visit. You get to see all these different celebrity names. You take a picture next to your favorite star or whatever. But then you realize the actual... Well, if you go to- if you go to Hollywood Boulevard, it's- it sucks. It's- it's awful. It's downright ghetto and you- you have tweaked out Elmo trying to take pictures with people. You take a picture with tweaked out Elmo, that person inside Elmo is going to try to charge you, like, 35 bucks for a picture, that's how they, uh, make their money.
And there's so many people walking up and down Hollywood Boulevard, it's almost impossible to try to hi- take a picture with- next to your favorite star. But what's even funnier is that for you to get your star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, you have to pay a ton of money. I think you have to pay something like $85,000 to not only, um, just apply for it, but then you also have to send in the application that has to get accepted too.
Somebody put it wonderfully here by saying it's just putting an ad in a yearbook. O- o- once you know that you have to pay [laughs] and then put the application in, then get accepted, then you have your whole ceremony. Isn't that sad? There are plenty of people also o- on the, uh, Hollywood Walk of Fame, not people like the stars, I'm talking about like people who just sit there all day and they have golden letters that you can put your name on- on a star. And then you could take a picture of that, but I'm sure they'll charge you, like, 60 bucks to do so. Hollywood is such a rip off. I feel so bad for people who try going to LA thinking it's gonna be this extravagant vacation, they're gonna see some major celebrities, they're gonna see some awesome landmarks, and then they show up and see tweaked out Elmo wanting $30 from you. So I found this subreddit that I'm hopefully not gonna get permanently banned from, let's hope, r/todayIlearned. Usually I don't like it when somebody says, "Today I learned this." You know? But
there was this guy posting about how in 2009, Burger King launched the Whopper Sacrifice Campaign on Facebook, offering a free Whopper to anyone who unfriended 10 people. The app notified the unfriended people, leading to over 233,000 sacrifices before Facebook [laughs] shut it down for violating their terms. I- I- I wish Facebook would,
uh, potentially let people know, "Hey, this person just unfriended you." I- I used to be that guy that would keep track of followers on Instagram. I would, uh, download that specific app and then it would analyze my profile and it would tell me who exactly just unfollowed me right then and there. And I would message that person and be like, "Hey, why'd you unfollow?" "Uh, we haven't talked in forever." It's usually some lousy excuse, some dumb thing, you know?
Facebook, I- I have gotten so many event invites from specific people and I finally learned yesterday how to block those people from ever inviting me to something ever again. Like, I- I'm a hypocrite for saying that because I get annoyed, but then I also invite people to follow my profile because I wanna make sure I get all the listeners to follow me @BrendanPeach.
But there was this one particular listener, I'm not gonna name his name, but, like, every day there was something random he would invite me and I d- I don't accept, uh, invites from people. I think I have, like, 600 just sitting there, but this one particular guy was just inviting me to almost everything and I'm like, "Dude, enough's enough." So I literally took time out of my afternoon show yesterday and Google searched how to block someone from ever sending you an event invite ever again and it worked. It worked. I have not seen a single one since. Granted, it was only yesterday, but still. Still, I blocked this guy from ever sending me an invite. He's still my friend on my friends list, just never spam me crap ever. Well, Victor talked a lot this morning about that drunk raccoon. It was posted everywhere. It was like the one big news story of the day, so I'm not gonna touch that. I have- I have two options here. I have a teddy bear-touched space and is now missing or I have one of Santa's reindeer trotted off from a Christmas event in England. Let's do the reindeer one. Santa was briefly short one reindeer over the weekend, prompting a full-scale search and rescue operation. The animal made a daring escape while making an appearance at a Christmas event in England. Once the disappearance was realized, a massive search crew was assembled, which included police, coast guard, even the Royal Marines. Finally, teams using thermal binoculars spotted the runaway, uh, reindeer on a beach and gave chase. Eventually the animal ran into the sand dunes w- was wa- watched by police until a vet was brought in to safely capture it. Fortunately, no one was hurt. The reindeer should be ready to go Christmas Eve. Yeah. Not necessarily the wildest headline. Should we talk about the other one too? Is this other one just about a bear that got launched into space? You know, it- it's a lost astronaut. You launched the bear into space and then you went, "Crap, now he's no longer here. Where's he at? We lost him." Well, you launched him into space to begin with. Why would you do such a thing? Anyway, those are today's What the Headlines, a double dose on your fine, uh, hump day, on this fine hump day right here on KBear 101.
