I even had a whole other song chosen, and then realized what day it was. It is December 1st, 2025. So, as tradition over the past, like, three years,
I have played that cover of All I Want For Christmas from Alex Terrible. You know, the vocalist for Slaughter to Prevail? It is officially December, the last month of 2025. Pretty soon, 2016 will be 10 years away. 1996, 30 years away. 2006, 20 years away. You get the picture, right? Crazy, huh? Anyway, it's Peaches. I am here, finally. You know, last week I was pretty much gone for all of it. Actually, I was here only
for part of Monday, and then we had that short day Wednesday before our Thanksgiving break, and then I was off Friday. So I did the afternoon show on Wednesday, but I wasn't... I wasn't fully here, I can tell you that much. Like, I was just mentally exhausted. I don't know what sickness I caught. It started off, uh, Sunday night, where I started to feel some chills. Like, I felt cold, which I, I hardly ever do, so that was already concerning. Really thought nothing of it. I thought I, maybe, like, my... Now that I'm just get older, I'm al- I'm getting older now, that
it would get, uh, harder for me to embrace the cold. I don't know, but these chills were different. And then, yeah, Monday comes about. I'm sitting in here for the first half of it, and then I'm like, "You know what? I'm, I'm, I'm feeling tired now. I need to go home and take a nap on my lunch break." So I was planning on doing that, but
I ended up getting so lethargic and so drowsy and so dizzy
that, uh, I just texted Jade like, "Hey, I'm not coming in for the rest of the day." Just slept all of Monday. Even took Tuesday off. Laid in bed. Ate nothing, really. I was not hungry whatsoever at all this past week, which is a huge thing for me. Usually, I'm the guy, it's like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I, I usually despise people who just have the one meal a day crap. But for the p- most part of last week, that's all I, all I did, was just eat, like, one thing, and I would be... Uh, I wasn't even hungry for that. I was just... I, I ate a whole lot of oranges. I, uh, drank a whole bunch of different, like, aloe vera juice or aloe vera water. Water, of course, regular water. Some, uh, pineapple juice as well. Drank some good juices. You know, [laughs] ate a whole lot of fruit. I think Wednesday, on my lunch break, instead of having anything traditional or reg-... Like, anything regular, I had an acai bowl from Jamba. Yeah, that's what I had for my lunch on Wednesday. So yeah, feeling a whole lot better overall today. I am, I'm very glad that I am here. I'm ready to go. It's another Monday. It's the start of December. It's Peaches Pit Party. We'll be back here in just a few on KBear101. You know, of course there's Black Friday, which has changed over the course of time. You know, uh, back 20 years ago, people were fighting over a whole bunch of different items that were heavily discounted. Now you see these Black Friday sales that are like, "Hey, buy four, get one for 12% off." And that's essentially it, right? There's Black Friday, and then they tried making it Small Business Saturday, where you only shop small business. There's nothing on Sunday, but then the- today is Cyber Monday. I haven't seen a single deal out there. Like, usually, they're all... I, I'm force-fed a whole bunch of different deals. There's nothing on my Facebook. Nothing at all. And, uh, tomorrow is supposed to be Giving Tuesday, but then I read something about how tomorrow is Travel Tuesday. It's where the, uh, travel industry offers significant discounts on flights, hotels, cruises, vacation packages. It occurs on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. So if you're looking into potentially wanting to bu- get a cheap vacation, go somewhere, even if it's not that far, or you just wanna, like, be like me and potentially get another trip back home, tomorrow might be the day to do it. I might look into a, a, a rental car. Find one that actually fits me, you know? Or maybe I can book the flight to Atlanta, Georgia that I need to, need to take, uh, during March of next year. That's gonna be a fun time. Go to the Peach State. I think if I, if I actually do make my way out to Georgia, I will have to bring just an entirely separate, uh, separate suitcase that's just empty, just for peach souvenirs so I can expand my peach collection. Tomorrow, Travel Tuesday. Look out for the, the best deals, even though I haven't seen any deals whatsoever for Black Friday, Cyber Monday. I haven't really seen anything. I need to check the, uh, Steam store, see if there's any cool video games for sale, or on sale, I should say. Here's Sleep Theory Stuck In My Head on KBear101. It was teased over the weekend, and this morning it was announced, Evanescence going on tour with Poppy and Spiritbox. Now, Poppy is only gonna be doing the, uh, European tour, the European leg. It's gonna be Evanescence and Spiritbox with the, uh, the Nova Twins for the most part, and they're gonna be making a stop, I believe July 25th at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater in Salt Lake, formerly known as the USANA Amphitheater. Evanescence, Spiritbox, Nova Twins. I put that on our concert calendar. Our first update in a while.I tried seeing if there was anything last week, didn't see anything. Usually, I screenshot concert posters on my phone and use those as a reminder to get those updated or get those on the calendar. There's nothing. Evanescence,
Spiritbox, Nova Twins. Seems like a cool lineup. I'm excited for next year. A lot of good tours already announced. I'm excited for whatever else there will be, you know, next year too. What bands are gonna release albums pretty soon? We'll- we'll have the, uh, top 100 songs played on K-Bear for 2025. I believe that list will come out at some point. I did see Spotify already teasing their- their Wrapped as well. It is December 1st, the official last month of 2025. Can't believe it's already here. Hopefully your Thanksgiving went okay. Hopefully it went excellent. Hopefully it was great. Hopefully the food was awesome. And my Thanksgiving, stayed at the girlfriend's place, girlfriend's parents place I should say. Made, uh, the mac and cheese recipe that I mentioned on the air. And, uh, well, it needed something else. It was very bland, very, very just nothing. Like it was just mac, some dried baked cheese, and that was about it. It needed some type of pop to it. So, at least we know that for next time to improve the Thanksgiving recipe. I thought there would be more of a- more spice to it. Considering it was from Terry Cruz, you know, I thought he'd be like the man of like, the man of flavor. I don't know. I found this funny though. I saw this posted on AskReddit. So what did your family argue about this year at Thanksgiving? Hopefully there was no politics. It's always the worst when you sit down and someone brings up even like local politics and you're like, "Dude, shut up." Well, some of the answers here on this thread, whether my father should be wearing his hearing aids more often. My father having not putting, having not put in his hearing aids remains blissfully unaware of the conversation.
Another person says, "Why my 79-year-old father who is still recovering from a broken knee should not be going down 16 stairs? Turns out it's because he's hiding from mom. Falling down a flight of stairs sounds better than hanging with mom." So I lost that argument is what he- what they wrote. Who liked- who the cat liked most
for what did your family argue about this year at Thanksgiving? I feel like this would be a fun one for To Peach Their Own, but I don't know. I feel like if someone were to hop on the air, share their answer for that question, somebody in that family is also tuned into K-Bear and hears that and it somewhat causes a stir. I don't know. I just thought this was funny. Luckily, there was no arguing whatsoever at my girlfriend's, uh, parent's place. It was just a whole lot of conversation about the food. The turkey, well, you know the turkey... You know my feelings on turkey still wasn't great. Even though it was fried... I mean, it's not the person's fault. It's not my girlfriend's dad's fault. It was just because, well, it's turkey. You know, uh, you put it on a sandwich and that's about it. Just a... You know, you eat its protein. That's- that's honestly it. There's nothing else to it. Uh, I'm glad Thanksgiving is over. Now we can focus on the best holiday of the year, which is Christmas. Anyway, here's the Devil Wears Prada everybody knows on K-Bear 101. The Chicago Bears' surprise win over the Eagles on Black Friday didn't just shake up the standings, it triggered a very Chicago bonus thanks to the head coach Ben Johnson following through on a wild promise. The legendary hotdog joint, The Wiener's Circle is giving away free hotdogs to- uh, tomorrow. The deal was simple. If the Bears won, Johnson had to rip off his shirt in the locker room during the celebration, he did it. Chicago gets fed. Johnson kept his word when full shirt-off mode in front of the team, and now fans get to cash in with free food. John Cena closed out his premium live event career this weekend at Survivor Series 2025 in San Diego, but not with the ending fans have hoped for, or fans hoped for. Cena lost to Dominic Mysterio, son of Rey Mysterio, after a chaotic finish that included the, uh, referee getting knocked out in a surprise return from Liv Morgan who helped Mysterio seal the win. It capped a memorable night at Petco Park, marked the end of an era for one of WWE's biggest stars. If everything stays on schedule, Cena has one more appearance lined up, Saturday night's main event on December 13th, and then he's officially walking away from the wrestling game. Back in 2023, Inter Miami CF made a massive splash by signing Lionel Messi, and that move is paying off in a big way. Miami is headed to its first ever MLS Cup after a 5-1 demolition of New York City FC on Saturday. The blowout was fueled by a hat trick from Tadeo Alande, or I don't know how you say that guy's name, and a clutch assist from Messi sending Miami into next weekend's title match against the Vancouver Whitecaps FC. That does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on K-Bear 101. Time for me to say I'm not hip with the kids, you know. I'm nearly 30. Next year, I will be 30. Oh, not looking forward to that whatsoever. Saw this question pop up. What is some of the new lingo that annoys you for no reason? And the top one wh- I 100% agree with, I- I actually thought about this recently. When someone uses the word unalive to replace die. "He- he was unalived." "No, he died." "Self-censorship annoys me to no end," is what they go on to say. Unalived. Unalive. Dumb. That one's stupid.
I did like this answer. It just caught me off guard 'cause all the others were actual answers. This one was like, "Hey, my landlord is always saying, 'You're three months behind on your rent.' It's so annoying." The brainless, uh, people at work all simultane- simultaneously started, uh, saying "around" instead of "about" a year or so ago. "Let's have a meeting around that." "Bob, can you talk around that?"I, I haven't heard anybody around here say that, but
would make sense. Oh, yeah. 6/7. Of course, you know, there's that one. Oh, journey? Yeah. My weight loss journey, my social media journey. It annoys me for no real reason. Addressing people as chat.
Oh, here's a, here's one, thanks to Taylor Swift. Being in an era, gym girl era, renovating era, running era.
You go to the gym a couple times. I'm, I'm in my fit boy era. I've been in my fat boy era for the past couple of years. Now I'm in my fit boy era. The ick
is what someone else wrote for this question, "What is, uh, what is some of the new lingo that annoys you for no reason at all?" [clicks tongue] I still gotta say the whole un-alive thing is the most stupid, pointless thing. Here's from Ashes to New. They're, they're dropping a new track, I believe, uh, Friday this week, maybe. I don't know. They, they had, uh
... They basically hinted at something. They hinted at, like, what's, looks to be a new track, but who knows? It could be a tour. Could be merch. Yeah, it could be. The worst is when the, the band and just teases merch for no reason at all. But no, I think it's a new track coming this Friday. Um, they, they posted about it all over their socials. Here's their, uh, latest single, at least for, at least for now, New Disease.
[whoosh]
Peaches Pit Party right here on KBear 101. You've heard me talk about this, uh, a couple of times now on the show. By a couple, I mean a lot. But, uh, there's this thing called the Giving Machine. If you haven't heard me talk about this, it's a very unique vending machine. Instead of candy or snacks that you buy for yourself, you're donating something that truly matters to, uh, you know, so- someone in need out there. Like a year of school for a girl, things like that, you know? You walk up to the machine. You choose one or more items to give. You can give multiple. You swipe your card, credit, debit, mobile payments only. No cash there. And then 100% of your donation goes directly to the charity you select. Now, it's, it was at the ICCU headquarters in Chubbuck. Starting today,
it is now in Rexburg at the Heming Village. It'll be there till December 14th before it gets moved to a different area. You can visit givingmachineeastidaho.org or you can check the, uh, the channel apps. Just click on Giving Machine on the KBear alt or Cannonball 101 app. See what the Giving Machine is all about for yourself. If you wanna learn more about it, maybe just drive to Rexburg right now. Check it out for yourself. If you're already in Rexburg, drive to Heming Village. See what it's all about.
[whoosh]
This is honestly my least favorite time of the year when it comes to doing a radio show because e- every major market starts to, uh ... Well, every major market lets their talent, like, go on a nice long vacation, but
every major market also just tosses their talent. Like, they just get rid of their DJs to, to save money. You'll see people get laid off this time of the year, right in time for Christmas when it comes to radio DJs. I mean, it is December 1st. And mo- sometimes, like, radio shows, they'll, they'll basically end on December 15th, probably halfway through the month, and then they won't come back until, like, mid-January. They get a very long break, a very long break. I can only imagine what that would be like
just to have a full-on, like, month at the end of the year, but then you're also worried about, "Hey, am I gonna have a job when I come back?" type of thing. [sighs] It's ... Radio is a weird business, a very weird, weird business. You know, it's usually this time of the year where most radio people wanna look elsewhere because there's all these openings all of a sudden at major markets across the country. Or they wanna hire a new DJ just in time for the new year so they can welcome in a new talent and then have them work there for six months
and then, you know, let them go. They magically disappear. I really hope all unemployed DJs right now can find some sort of gig. It really does suck seeing people just get miraculously let go. I mean, Liv Maddox, who I talked about on the show previously,
I might try to get her on the, uh, Talking Between the Songs podcast that I have completely forgotten about. You know, I was, uh, lo- looking back at the, uh, episodes that I currently have. The Talking Between the Songs podcast was me interviewing radio people. I started off with, uh, my friend John Camuchi, who's an LA radio DJ. He's the co-host of Valentine in the morning. I interviewed, uh, Pete, who, Pete Gustin, who is the voice of Cannonball 101. And then my third episode is with Joey and Lauren, who you can hear weekday mornings on Z103.
And then I did an episode with Cutter, and I have not put that one up, and it's almost, like, seven, eight months old now. I might just sneak it onto the, the, the Talking Between the Songs
on-demand podcast and just leave it there and not really promote it just 'cause I feel so bad for saying, "Hey, this, uh, episode's eight months late." Poor Cutter probably is wondering where it's at too. I mean, he sat down for, like, over an hour with me, talked with me about his, uh, radio career. Which, by the way, you can hear the cutting-edge countdown with Cutter every Sunday night from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM right here on KBear. I might even get Lou Brutus on the show as well and hopefully get his, uh, episode out on time.
[whoosh]
I talked about how boring my Christmas list is, that it's mostly just clothes and maybe a pair of shoes. Some new, uh, dining ware for my, my, my various meals. You know, give me some plates, bowls, et cetera.
'Cause I, all I've been doing now is I've been ... Well, I, I, I sometimes eat at my place, and then I put the plate in the, in the sink, and it doesn't get washed for-... Like a f- a few weeks just because I, I'm, for the most part, after work, either go to my girlfriend's place or I come back to my place and then I just go right to my computer and start gaming
and just start enjoying my time, and the last thing I want to do is go do the dishes. And so when I'm done gaming, I'm like, "Oh, time for me to go to bed." Wake up the next morning, get r- get myself ready for work. Go to work and repeat the cycle, you know? It's how it, how it usually goes. So what, what I've been ha- what's been happening is that I've been just throwing away some of the plates that I have because they're like 50 cent plates from Walmart. I'm like, "Yeah, I don't need these." I, I'm better off just having the paper plates, which I might have to get a bag of those from WinCo tonight or something, but I was reading something here about this cookware company, All Clad. They've dropped the price of their 71 piece All Clad Legacy set
from a staggering $8,690 to the low, low price of $5,000. A small price to pay for the gift of some pots and pans. Yeah. Things are expensive. When you're an adult, you gotta pay for your crap. You gotta start paying for things like this. You gotta pay for pots and pans. You gotta
m- imagine like home remodeling, trying to buy all that stuff. Doing all that's quite expensive. I'm looking here at like what exactly you get in this All Clad Legacy set. Still doesn't seem like it's worth $5,000 to me. That's a lot of stuff. Yeah. No th- [laughs] no thanks. Imagine some rich guy gifting his, uh ... Well, I, I don't know. W- would you gift something like that to your wife? 'Cause then it's like, oh, you're implying that she's gonna be in the kitchen type thing, you know? Do you give something like that to her? Like, "Here's your 71 piece Legacy set that was $5,000. Now get to cooking." [swoosh] I don't know if I talked about it on the show, but, uh, I was talking about it at least to my girlfriend that, uh, Bad Omens, they released their final collection of 2025 and there were these candles as part of that collection. And these candles were kinda cool looking, but they were $45 each. They had the wood wick, wicks, you know, the, the ones that burn like a fireplace. They looked pretty cool. They were seven ou- seven ounces. Not too big. Um, $45 is a lot of money. That's without shipping. That's without taxes. I think my total, because I, I, I went to the website the day that it was dropped, like right as it was dropped
just to see how much that total would be, and I think it came out to like $57. I'm like, that's too much for a candle. I could go to the, go to Walmart and get three of those wood wick candles for that price if I really wanted to, but
... Yeah, ended up not pulling the trigger and saw that they sold out completely. Bad Omens completely sold out of their very expensive candle. I wonder how much money those guys make off of merch sales alone. I mean, those candles look cool. I was very tempted. I was telling my, uh, girlfriend that I really wanted one, but I also didn't want her spending that type of money on me either if she was gonna gift me that. I was like, "Please do not gift me this candle." Really, I do not want this candle. I- if it was at like $22 all of a sudden for Cyber Monday, I was thinking about getting it. But yeah, I checked the website just now. Completely sold out. Completely gone. Oh, well. Like I said, I could just go get a nice wood wick candle. It's like when you buy an expensive candle, a very expensive candle, you gotta think
you're just spending your money to burn it. That's essentially it. You're spending your money to burn it, but have it smell good in your apartment or in your house, whichever one you have. I have those wallflowers. They do a good job of smelling my place up. I, I don't need to have a Bad Omens candle on top of that. It'll just kinda be like overkill, you know? [swoosh] A burglar in Maine enjoyed an early Christmas last week when he broke into a family's apartment and already unwrapped their Christmas presents. Police in Bangor said, uh, 50 year old Jose Harvey climbed into the apartment through a bathroom window, unwrapped Christmas gifts before falling asleep on the couch. A resident found him fast asleep, said he refused to leave. Police arrived, placed him under arrest. Uh, Harvey told them he had no idea why he was inside their apartment and he's now charged with aggravated criminal trespassing. I have no idea why I just decided to do that. Unwrapping the gifts, see which one's the coolest, that way he can just steal it. Bad Santa right there. That's today's What the Headline? on K-Bear 101. [swoosh] I saw this question get posted in AskReddit, which hobbies attract the kindest people? And I was trying to, uh, figure out which, uh, which hobbies attract the angriest people.
You know, the kindest people, I mean, I'm seeing in the thread here everyone I've met at the pottery studio so far has been amazingly welcoming and fun to be around. What else is there? Maybe knitting. Bird watchers. Imagine an angry bird watcher. [laughs] I, I, I, I'm trying not to laugh here because I, I haven't been a- really been able to laugh 'cause I'll, I'll just start coughing up a storm 'cause of the remnants of the sickness that I had. Which hobbies
attract the angriest people? I need to know the answer to this. I'm asking ChatGPT. Online gaming, definitely. Fantasy football. Fantasy anything is what it says here, number two. Nothing that activates pure rage like a questionable injury tag
at 9:58 on Sunday. Gym power lifting. I don't know, the people who power lift are quite nice as a matter of fact. We have this, uh, new guy here in the office named Colby and I think he power lifts. Huge dude. One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet too. Car modding and tuning. Trading stocks or crypto. Oh, yeah. You ever meet one of those, uh, those stock guys that has like the, the PCs all around, uh, the, the monitors all around his room? Collectible card games. Golf, really? Yeah, I can see it. I can see it. Hobbies that make you angry. Hobbies, uh ... Who cares? Just enjoy a hobby. I don't know where I was going with this. I, I just saw that question get posted, which hobbies attract the kindest people. I'm like, which ones attract the angriest people? Angry bird watching. That would be a fun club.
