00:00:00,100 --> 00:14:58,364 [Speaker 0]
[upbeat music] Yes, indeed, it is pre-Friday, AKA Thursday, January 15th, twenty twenty-six. Tomorrow, I am leaving at least for a week. All right? I'm not leaving permanently. I'm just going home for a brief bit. Won't be back in studio till Monday, January twenty-sixth. So I had to play that Blink-One eighty-two track, California, of course. I was gonna play the, uh, Nick Nocturnal song, where him, Paula, and also, uh, the Punk Rock Factory, they did, like, a parody Blink-One eighty-two song. They called it Take Me Back Home to California or Take Me to California, something along the lines of that. And I was gonna play that, but, uh, the lyrics were a little too, uh, iffy on, on some parts to, uh, be able to play on the air, unfortunately. I even tried getting a karaoke version of that song, and I was gonna make my own radio edit, but the karaoke version still had some of the words for some reason, so that was rather annoying. First world problem, I know. I know. If you wanna get a hold of me, you can, over at two oh eight, five three five, one oh one five. I'll probably give away some more Megadeth Behind the Curtain tickets at some point this afternoon. Go see either showing January twenty-second or the twenty-fourth, um, at the, uh, Regal Edwards Grand Teton Theater. Megadeth Behind the, uh, Curtain... Is it Behind the Curtain, or is it Behind the Mask? I can't tell! Is it Megadeth Behind the Curtain, Behind the Mask, behind the what, Behind the Scenes? Whatever. The new, uh, Megadeth movie coming out before the album. Yeah, I'll, I'll just call it that, the new Megadeth movie that dives deep into forty years of Megadeth. There's gonna be, like, a, an interview, an in-depth interview with Dave Mustaine. There's gonna be, like, this whole thing, uh, analyzing the band over forty years of being together, that type of thing. Um, they're also gonna play the full, uh, new album. It's gonna be like an album listening party during that movie. And why not listen to a new, uh, metal album in a movie theater? It's gonna sound great, right? Nice and loud and everything, how D- how, uh, Megadeth should sound. So yeah, I'll probably give away some tickets for that. Uh, make sure to listen out for that cue to call, and I'll talk about some more random crap here coming up soon on Peach's Pit Party. [whooshing] Instead of fighting a losing battle with shampoos, sprays, you know, that one guy that always wears a hat? More and more dudes are choosing to bald max, which is just embracing your hair loss by shaving it all off. You know, you'd hate to see that one guy, and I, I was that guy for a while, that tried holding on, holding on, holding on, and then eventually I'm like: You know what? Screw it. And it was the day before my birthday, I decided to shave it all off. The only person who didn't like it was my mom, and now she just doesn't care. There's a lot, there's a lot of psychological stress of hiding a receding hairline. It's way more painful than just being bald, all right? Guys are leaning into the look now, reporting a massive boost in self-esteem. It does help. I mean, if you wanna really, really... Like, if you're, if you're thinking about it, go to R slash bald on Reddit. Go to, uh, Bald Cafe on YouTube. Bald Cafe, I believe the guy's name is Harry. He talks to-- It's funny, his name's Harry, and he's bald. Um, he talks to a lot of different guys who are, uh, going bald, and he helps them by saying, "Hey, man, you'll look a lot better if you shave it all off." And sure enough, they do, and they feel a lot better. They talk about how much, uh, how, how many compliments they get now. Um, people also say it's very liberating to no longer have to monitor their reflection in every window. I've seen some, uh, old pictures of myself from a few years back, and I'm like: You know what? I wish I sh- would have shaved it off a lo- a long while ago. You know, that type of thing. So again, yeah, if you're that type of dude, and you're, like, worried about your hair, your hair loss, go, go look at R slash bald and see if you can muster up the confidence to shave it all off. Trust me, trust me, you're gonna feel a whole lot better afterward. [whooshing] You know what? I'll probably ask this for to Peach Theron. Yesterday, I asked the question: What's the most overrated video game of all time? And I figured I would get the stereotypical answers of, like, Call of Duty, any EA game, you know, all the popular ones. Halo, definitely. Um, that could be one of my answers. I'm not the biggest fan of Halo, and I always thought it was just kind of, eh, you know? So I, I saw this question for today. What's a, quote, unquote, "normal experience that somehow never happened to you?" Let's go through this here and see if any of this stuff has happened to me or you. I've never had a real friend group, just individual friends from different phases. I had a, a core group of friends. I still do. Friends with, friends with, uh, most of them, I should say. W- uh, I still talk to them on Discord. I've been friends with them since two thousand eight, I think, around there. When did I go to middle school? I don't know. But yeah, I've been friends with them since, like, sixth or seventh grade. Breaking a bone? I, I, uh, tore a ligament, which chipped the bone when the ligament tore, when I landed on my, uh, ankle in a weird way. I think I landed, uh, with my foot sideways, my right foot sideways. I was playing basketball, jumped up to grab a rebound, landed on my teammate's foot. Foot went completely sideways. That's when the, uh, ligament tore and the, the, the bone chip happened, and then I had to, um, one-leg hop to the, uh, nurse's office after that. So does that technically count? I'm hoping, knocking on wood, I never experience a full break. Having jury duty? Again, knocking on wood, [chuckles] I hope I never have to experience that. I'll, I'll post this in the K-Bear one oh one Idaho Rock and Metal Facebook group. What's a normal experience that somehow never happened to you? [whooshing] Just a heads-up, today is the final chance to enter Mama's Munchies with Mountain View Hospital and Z one oh three. You've probably heard me talk about this on the air a couple of times now. If you're an expecting mom or know someone who is, submit those weird pregnancy food combos through the K-Bear one oh one app or the Z one oh three app. Either one. The winner will score a full nursery setup plus a newborn photo shoot. You know how expensive those things can be. Don't overthink it. Just submit it. That's right. It's the final chance to enter Mama's Munchies with Mountain View Hospital and Z one oh three. Submit it before the end of the day today. [whooshing] A player in the Australian Open qualifying tournament learned the lesson of one sports cliché: It ain't over till it's over. Australian Sebastian Ofner took a seven-one-... and a third set tie break against Nishesh Basvareddy. Is that how you say it? Of the US. And, uh, Ofner raised his hands in celebration and pumped his fists as he started walking toward the center of the court for a handshake. In ATP tournaments, seven points with a lead of at least two points is enough to win a tie break, but in Grand Slams, they are played to ten points, and you can guess what happened next. Basvareddy ended up winning thirteen to eleven and advanced [chuckles] to the third round of qualifying. Nike is getting serious about pickleball. The company signed eighteen-year-old world number one, uh, Anna Leigh Waters, as its pr- first professional athlete in the sport. After years of staying on the sidelines, Nike made the move under new leadership to get involved in the sport that has seen over three hundred percent growth since twenty twenty-two. Waters, who already earns an estimated two million dollars annually, will debut her new Nike gear this week at the Carvana Masters tournament in Rancho Mirage, California. Now, fans of Bad Bunny, they're big mad after a height requirement for the Super Bowl... Oh, what's LX? Is that fifty? Is it... Wait, LX, Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. Usually I'm great with Roman numerals, but this one's throwing me off. The, the field team. Yeah, people are mad because there's a height requirement to be on the field team on-- a- and so people are yelling about it on social media. The application for the stage crew, which is the team responsible for rushing the set onto the field, requires participants to be between five foot seven and six foot, leaving many shorter fans out of the running. Organizers say the specific height range is a critical mission for the logistics of moving the stage, but that hasn't been stopped, or hasn't stopped people from storming social media with their complaints about missing out on the chance to be near Bad Bunny. I mean, who cares? Really, I mean, [chuckles] who cares? There's plenty of jobs out there, like to be a character at Knott's Berry Farm. To go in that costume and all that, you have to be between, like, four foot eleven and five foot three. It's, it's something that's needed for the job, for you to fit in the costume. You- I wouldn't be able to fit inside a Charlie Brown mascot outfit. Are you kidding me? That does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on KBEAR one O one. [whooshing] Well, I just realized I missed a huge chunk of the show. Originally, what started out as a meeting to talk about a specific promotion with our, uh, graphics, uh, people from down the hall, ended up being, like, this conversation with Maddie and Star about what celebrities does Maddie know and who she doesn't know. She barely knows anybody. We- me and Star were shocked that she didn't know who Harrison Ford was, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nicolas Cage, uh, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, she didn't know who he was. She thought she... Th- th- this is how she knew who Elvis was. She knew who Elvis was when, uh, wh- when we asked her: "Who's Elvis Presley?" She went: "Isn't that the guy who died on the toilet? "And she's not wrong, but that's what you know him from? Like, is he that far gone that [chuckles] all these young kids don't know who Elvis is? I, I, I really wonder if all the other young kids are like that or if it's just her because she doesn't really watch most movies. She makes media but doesn't consume media. Yeah, I mean, I wish I could, uh, revisit things for the first time. That'd be pretty cool. Revisit, uh... I don't know. She kn- she knows what Red Dead Redemption II is because she plays that game, like Victor, nonstop. But I wish I could revisit some of those classic movies from all those actors that I just listed for the very first time and just revisit them. I've actually been watching a few classics I have missed myself. I just, uh, re- I just watched, for the very first time, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Gonna finish that series hopefully soon. I might watch Psycho in completion for the first time. I might actually make that the movie I watch on the plane tomorrow. [chuckles] Just make that the movie for... I always watch a messed up movie on a plane. Always. Might as well keep it going, right? Let's play some My Prevail, "Into Hell," and I promise I'll be in here for the rest of the show on KBEAR one O one. [whooshing] Yesterday, for the Peach Throne, I asked the question: What is the most overrated video game of all time? And, well, I, I said Super Smash Bros. Don't really care for that game. I don't see the hype in it. I sound like a sleep token hater. I don't see the hype with this, but yeah, I really don't. Uh, what else is there? Um, Halo, I think that's overrated. But Victor, his answer was Minecraft, and I particularly love Minecraft. I think it's a fun, just kind of, I don't know, but a game to play with your friends. You get to build stuff. If you're really wanting to go at it, you can build up some giant structure, build up something cool. I'm not gonna be like this guy. This YouTuber, Minefact, spent five years, five years, recreating New York City in Minecraft at a one-to-one scale with a team of builders. And luckily, it wasn't just him by himself, but five years with a team, it looks phenomenal. I mean, with the, the pictures I'm looking at... You can find it. A- again, the guy's name is Minefact, M-I-N-E-F-A-C-T. You can look at the pictures, you can look at his videos. This New York build is insane. One of the coolest things I've ever seen. But i- is it ever gonna be, like, wiped out? Like, i- is it gonna stay there forever? Is the creator of Minecraft gonna make sure that this world never gets deleted? Could you imagine spending five years on something, and then somebody can just hit the delete button? Like, let's say your little nephew comes to your house, g- somehow gets on Minecraft, and deletes your world. Is there a way to restore it? I mean, I've been here working at this building for almost five years now. I can't imagine this entire time working on the entire city of New York, [chuckles] rebuilding it in Minecraft. [whooshing] There's this particular trend online right now where you share a picture of yourself from twenty sixteen. I, I talked about this previously on the show. It's a part of the, uh, Peaches Pit Party podcast if you wanna go back and listen to it, where people are glorifying the year twenty sixteen just because they wanna feel nostalgic. They wanna feel like... They, everyone sort of thinks that twenty sixteen was a great year for everyone. I mean, obviously it wasn't. There was probably some- there's probably a lot of people out there that say twenty sixteen was the worst year I've ever been through. For me, it was a fantastic year. I loved it.... wasn't until the year later, the year after, I should say, twenty seventeen. Twenty seventeen was by far the, one of the worst years of my life, for sure. But people are sharing online pictures of them back in twenty sixteen, and as I was having that ridiculously long conversation with Star and Maddie down the hallway, I was thinking about it. I'm like, "You know what? Maddie was born in two thousand and six." That means in twenty sixteen, she was ten. I was nineteen years old, and I was going through my camera roll trying to see if there was any, a- any picture whatsoever that I could take from my, my, my camera roll and then also find a picture of Victor from twenty sixteen and post it on our Facebook. But unfortunately, I was, uh, dating my ex at the time in twenty sixteen, and so I think a majority of my photos from that year were with her. 'Cause I looked back at my camera roll, and there was, like, five pictures of me, and that's it. I must have not taken that many pictures back then either. I, I still don't really compare to a lot of people. You, you hear about people having, like, forty thousand pictures in their camera roll. I think I have, like, two thousand. I need to do better. [whooshing sound] I just talked about people wanting to feel nostalgic. They're wanting to go back to the good old days. If you ever find yourself missing a physical newspaper, which I don't think many people really miss a physical newspaper... I mean, I certainly don't. I, I, I never liked the, uh, texture of it. I don't know. I'm weird like that. A CD? Yeah, I definitely miss having, you know, a whole CD collection. I miss people just collecting CDs to listen to music. Now you get those, uh, people who think they're comedians online, but saying, "What's a CD? [laughing]" You know, that whole thing. Or even, like, the fun of just going to Blockbuster to rent a movie. It was one of my favorite things. It really sucked, though, when Blockbuster, um, was on its way out, 'cause we would spend-- My dad would get so frustrated with me. He would, uh, take me to Blockbuster, then I would take, like, forty-five minutes to an hour trying to find the perfect video game that I would rent for a week. And then once I finally chose one, my dad's like: "Finally, we're out of here!" So we go to the desk, and sure enough, the Blockbuster employee would just go, "Oh, I'm sorry, we don't actually have that." And then that's the, that's the one... That's the- one of the v- very rare times I would see my dad transform into a Karen and start screaming at the employee [laughing] just 'cause he was so frustrated with me taking so much time in the store. The newest pop culture trend right now, according to Forbes, is that twenty twenty-six, um, is the official year of analog living. It's an apparent pushback on artificial intelligence, social media algorithms. Consumers are looking for less tech, more honest experiences. I've talked about this also on the show plenty of times before, that my parents have this next-door neighbor. I'll be seeing her, actually, uh, hopefully this weekend. Seeing all the neighbors, uh, when I get back to California, uh, tomorrow. But, uh, um, m- my parents' next-door neighbor, Nancy, she bought a brand-new car, a brand-new Lexus, 

00:14:58,364 --> 00:18:32,944 [Speaker 0]
and you would think maybe if you're willing to spend that much money on a high-end vehicle, maybe you should have actually, you know, g- gone for a car that could suit somebody in their eighties. She was complaining big time that the car has too many gadgets and gizmos. If you're saying that, that, that phrase, "gadgets and gizmos," obviously, uh, y- you need a car that's, uh, from, I don't know, nineteen ninety-nine [laughing] or something like that. I, I... Why would they sell her a new Lexus? Why would-- She can't even operate a cellphone. I can't imagine getting behind the wheel, u- uh, and all these different buttons look so foreign to you, and you just think you can drive the car. No, just stick to, like, I don't know, maybe even a bicycle. No, wait, that might be too dangerous for somebody in their eighties. But no, I'm saying, like, uh, g- g- get her more so a classic car, something that fits, uh... Maybe something that was, uh, around back when she was in her, her, uh, late twenties, early thirties. I don't know. [whooshing sound] Today's What the Headline takes us to Northern Virginia. A middle school teacher got in trouble for... And then she's, she's up for the running for the Worst Teacher of the Year award, and it's only January 15th of twenty twenty-six. Um, this teacher from Rippon, Ripon, Rippon Middle School in Woodbridge, Virginia, allegedly got upset with this eleven-year-old student, threw her shoe at him. Completely just threw her shoe at him. Witnesses say she was speaking with the boy wh- when she suddenly just reached down, took off her shoe, and chucked it at him. [laughing] The flying footwear struck him on the hand, causing a minor injury. What do you mean a minor injury? Somebody could throw their shoe full force. I'm not talking like giant steel-toe boo, steel-toe boot. You know, I'm not talking anything like that. I'm talking like, what do, uh, what do regular t- what, what's a regular teacher's shoe? Heels, maybe, for, like, the, the... or, like, Converse? You know, if you wanna get real fancy, it is the heel, but if you wanna be more casual, you can wear the Converse. You can wear a s- a sneaker, especially something as tiny as, like, a, I don't know, a, a woman's shoe. What's, like, the average size? I don't know, but, like, a woman's shoe that comes fl- flying at me, hits me in the hand. You're n- you're not gonna throw it so hard that you break my hand, or maybe you could jam a finger if my hand's angled a different way. Maybe that was the case, but I can't imagine just all of a sudden... Even when I was eleven, somebody throws a shoe at me, it wouldn't hurt that bad, where it's cau- it's labeled as a minor injury. Anyway, following an investigation, this lady, Delaya Pruitt, is charged with assault and battery. Of course, she might never teach again, and by might, I mean she'll never teach again. There's gonna be no school that's gonna pick her up, 'cause this is going... You know, this is on national news. This is something in the radio prep that I'm talking about, to you about right now. This story took place in Virginia. We're in East Idaho, so yeah, she's never teaching again. [whooshing sound] I wish Maddie could join me on the air right now. If you didn't hear the earlier parts, or if you didn't hear me talk about this earlier on the show, um, I-- During the three PM hour, after the Shot Clock Sports Update, I went over to Star's office to talk with her about, uh, a, a future promotion coming our way, and somehow, that, that, that ended. Like, that important work stuff ended, and then Maddie kind of geared the conversation, 'cause Maddie was in the office, too. She was over there with me. She kind of geared the conversation towards, uh, Gen Alpha terminology, and then it went into, um, something about... I think I mentioned something about how one of my girlfriend's friends didn't know who Arnold Schwarzenegger was, and Maddie didn't either, which shocked both me and Star, of course, 'cause everyone should know who Arnold is. But then we went down-- We started going down this list of how many celebrities 

00:18:32,944 --> 00:18:36,043 [Speaker 0]
Maddie doesn't know, and, well, 

00:18:36,104 --> 00:19:37,844 [Speaker 0]
I, I, I had ChatGPT come up with a list of actors and actresses that everyone should at least know about, and I had it give me their top three movies by ticket sales. So, of course, there's Leonardo DiCaprio, Titanic, Inception, The Wolf of Wall Street. Tom Hanks, you got Toy Story, Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan. You got Meryl Streep on there, Mamma Mia, The Devil Wears Prada. Denzel, Will Smith, Brad Pitt. She didn't know who Brad Pitt was. Johnny Depp, barely know who he was. Sandra Bullock, she didn't know who she was. There's a whole list here. Yeah, a whole giant list. I'll make sure to print this out, and, uh, maybe I'll film it and put it on our socials at KBIR 101 FM. [upbeat music] Thanks for listening to Peaches Pit Party, the podcast.
