[upbeat music] Man, it's only Wednesday. It's February 18th, 2026. I am Peaches. Hope you're doing well. If you wanna get a hold of me, you can, over at 208-535-1015. I, uh, posted a voting poll in the KBEAR101 Idaho Rock and Metal Facebook group. The reason why is because last night I was, uh, chatting with a group of, uh, well, friends of mine, but also they're listeners, too. Shout out to them. Um, one of them was talking about how he absolutely hates it when KBEAR plays stuff from the late '90s, early 2000s, more specifically, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, the list goes on. I, myself, not necessarily... I am a fan of it, but after hearing it so many times throughout my, uh, years of growing up in SoCal, coming here, working here, having to hear the playlist over and over and over again type of thing, I am kinda sick of Rage Against the Machine, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, especially Pearl Jam. [chuckles] I have never been a fan of those guys whatsoever, but Soundgarden, kinda over them, too. Definitely Sublime, you know, 'cause in, in Southern California, they worship, uh, grunge, alternative, et cetera, so I had to listen to all of that. And then when you listen to any rock station overall across the country, they're playing those, uh, staples. So I did post the, uh, question: "Do you honestly like the late '90s, early 2000s rock being played on KBEAR? Example, like Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers," more and more right there. But, uh, it's not looking good for my friend who says he hated it, because, well, I think there's about six other people on his side, but then the other side, there's about 70 [chuckles] on the other side saying, "Yes, I, I, we, uh, we do honestly like hearing that stuff," which is good to hear. It's good to hear. Anyway, it's Peaches Pit Party on this snowy hump day. I hope you are doing well. All right, I'll talk about some more random crap here in just a few on KBEAR101. [whooshing] You know, every single time somebody asks me that question, "What was your first concert, Peaches?" I wanna jump right ahead and say something cool like AC/DC, 2008, live at The Forum, uh, the, The Black Ice Tour. I was 12 years old. That was my second ever concert. If we're gonna go off of a, a technicality here... Well, actually, you know what? Now that I think about it, do The Wiggles count? [chuckles] Back when I was way young, I was, like, three or four, I think. Would that be considered my first concert? 'Cause they're playing instruments, and they're live on stage. Does Barney on Ice count as my first concert, even though I was asleep during that whole thing as a baby? I would not fall asleep. My parents were so mad, and then finally, like, once the show actually started, boom, I just fell asleep, slept through the entire show. My parents woke me up after the show ended. I was wondering why they didn't just wake me up during the show, 'cause there-- I, I would've been so frustrated. Been like: "Hey, you know what? We dragged ourselves to this, so you could watch it, so you better watch it," type of thing. [chuckles] My parents are way better overall people compared to me. But my first ever, I would say, like, concert would have to be Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers at the Staples Center, also in 2008, when I was 12 years old. My parents surprised my sister with tickets. They not only surprised my sister with tickets, they got a family four-pack, so I joined along, too. Uh, back then as a kid, I did watch Hannah Montana. I did watch The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, and I can't believe it's been 20 years since Hannah Montana's, uh, show has been on the air. And so I'm reading here, "Miley Cyrus will headline a Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special streaming on Disney+ starting March 24th, marking two decades since the Disney Channel series that launched her career debuted in 2006." Who would've thought 20 years later... I mean, hopefully, she announces a Hannah Montana Tour, calls it The Best of Both Worlds. You know how, how great that would sell? Even I would attend that again, all right? I don't care. I'll gladly see a guilty pleasure like that. All right, I watched the show. I know the songs. Yeah, would love to see it 20 years later, now that I'm almost 30. Let's do some Linkin Park right now, Up from the Bottom on KBEAR101. [whooshing] Peaches Pit Party on KBEAR101. If you've, uh, been in a relationship for the past I don't know how many years, good for you. Luckily, I have found my girlfriend. We're, we're happily together, and so I no longer have to worry about put my- putting myself out there on Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, you know, all the dating apps. I'm glad those days are over. And so I saw this question, "What made you walk out on a date?" and it made me think of, uh, my own personal answer that I've talked about here on the air a, a few times, where I went to the beach. No, I went to go get food with this one girl, then we went to the beach, and I specifically remember her pulling up the Notes app
after... I don't know what I said. It might've been something controversial, knowing me, or maybe I just said, "Hey, you wanna get yours? I'll get mine," type of thing. And that's when she goes, "Oh," and she pulls out the notepad on her phone and changes the ranking of her top 25 dudes she is talking to. I was number seven. I think I got moved down to, like, number 10 or [chuckles] something like that, which still isn't bad out of 25. Still not number one.... You know, seventh place, still not good. I, I was just shocked on how gutsy this girl was for pulling out that list of the top twenty-five dudes. I mean, if she lost me, there's twenty-four others, right? So I was looking at some of the responses for this question: "What made you walk out on a date? He showed up twenty minutes late, didn't apologize, and spent the first half hour loudly complaining about his ex and how women are these days-- and how women are these days. I went to the bathroom, paid my half, and left." Another one: "His wife called. She was in the emergency room with their six-month-old baby." How could you do something like that? Uh, that, that's something that I-- that baffles me. How could you be married and be like, "You know what? She's about to give birth, I wanna go on a date with somebody else. Let's spice things up," you know? Completely ruined my life, actually. [chuckles] This per- person just wrote, "He wore flip-flops." That's it! He... What's wrong with sandals? I mean, I don't wear them, 'cause I don't want people seeing my feet. I, I save them the trouble from seeing my giant feet, you know? Oh, no, she goes on to say here, "He kept interrupting me when I was talking." That's a big no-no. You know how p- Victor gets mad when, uh, I barrel over the top of him, but that's also because we're doing a radio show. Um, she goes on to say, "If he wasn't interjecting, he'd just contradict most of what I'd say. I left him halfway through dinner when I couldn't get a word in without being contradicted." This just makes me feel more happy that I no longer have to deal with, uh, the weirdos out there, or, like, the giant walking red flags, as they say. You know what's hypocritical of me is that I like to make fun of those radio shows that exclusively talk about relationships, but that's what we've been talking about for the past... Well, no, th- this break and the one before, all right? I didn't mean, I didn't plan for this to happen. I, uh, talked about that question just a g- a couple minutes ago, "What made you walk out on a date?" And then I scrolled down on the, uh, radio prep here, and it brought up the whole roster dating term. [chuckles] And I just m- talked about that one girl that pulled up that list of twenty-five dudes she was talking to. Um, yeah, it turns out there's a whole bunch of people doing that type of thing. Roster dating, basically a new dating trend where singles keep a small lineup of people they're talking or, uh, seeing, not exclusively, while they figure out what they really want. Think starters, bench players, backups, they're all on the dating team. You know that whole thing where she tells you, "Hey, don't worry about this guy, he's just a friend"? Don't believe that. As a guy who's lost two exes [chuckles] to two dudes that are just friends of theirs, be wary, all right? I- it's kinda weird how it is a competition, so to speak. It's like you should know that you're worth more than being somebody's bench player, or you're trying your absolute hardest to date someone who doesn't necessarily want you. And there always is that phrase: "If they wanted to, they would." And that's something that I had to implement into my life before I met, you know, my, my girlfriend, Aubrey, who's the, the absolute best. But I was just thinking about, you know, trying to fight for, um, girls' attention in the past, and I'm like, "What am I even doing, all right? What's going on here?" No, you, you wanna be somebody's one and only. Forget this whole roster dating crap, unless you're into that sort of thing. Sports curses have been talked about for hundreds of years, but how about a curse on a specific house owned by athletes? That's what some fans in Philadelphia believe happened to former NBA star Ben Simmons and just-released Phillies player Nick Castellanos. In twenty nineteen, Simmons, then playing for the seventy-sixers, bought a brand-new house in nearby Moorestown, New Jersey, in twenty nineteen, and shortly after purchasing the two point two five million dollar home, Simmons had the most infamous moment of his career, passing up an open dunk in a game seven loss to the Atlanta Hawks in the Eastern Conference semifinals. His career was never the same after that moment, and he was traded in twenty twenty-two. Simmons sold the house for nearly double, four point five million. Actually more than... yeah, it's double. My, my stupid math skills. Look at me. Four point five five million to Castellanos, and while the outfielder, uh, m- may help- may have helped the Phillies reach the World Series and made the All-Star team in twenty twenty-three, last season, he was one of the worst starting outfielders in all of baseball and was cut earlier this month. Players headed to Mexican Open in Acapulco. Uh, I, [chuckles] I just butchered that word. Acapulco? Aca-pulco. I wish I had someone in here that could actually properly say it, so that way, they can just say it for me instead of me butchering that word. People headed to the Mexican Open starting on February twenty-third will have to go without meat for a while. Tournament organizers revealed that its player restaurant will not be serving any meat to make sure there's no doping contamination. The World Anti-Doping Agency has warned that various banned anabolic steroids are used in Mexico and Colombia to fatten cattle. The tournament will provide high-quality protein options that do not include meat, and included, incll- and included a guide on how to get sufficient protein from fish, eggs, and other sources that are not meat. MMA icons Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano, I believe that's how you say her last name, Carino, Carano, they're coming out of retirement to face off May 16th at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. This super fight should be some kind of spectacle, considering, you know, Ronda Rousey's nearly forty, hasn't competed for a decade, and Carano, at age forty-three, has been away for seventeen years. The event will be the real deal. Uh, Rousey and Carano will face each other at one hundred and forty-five pounds for five five-minute rounds, using four-ounce gloves inside a hexagon cage. That does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update, right here on KBEAR one-oh-one. I haven't checked the, uh, the pop category of our concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. You can also find the shortcut to it via the KBEAR one-oh-one app. I mostly check out the rock and metal portion, 'cause, you know, I'm in charge of that portion. I have over a hundred shows on that concert calendar. I try my absolute best to keep it as updated as possible. I don't necessarily know...... like anybody personally that uses that calendar. I have seen people say they've accessed it in the past and that type of thing, so I'm glad at least a few people are going to check it out. But I was trying to see, um, I was trying to remember off the top of my head if Pitbull is coming to the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre still. I think he's supposed to be coming with Lil Jon this summer, but Lil Jon's son just died, and he was only twenty-seven years old, so I don't know if Lil Jon's still feeling like he should perform after something crazy like that happens, especially with Lil Jon being like, "Yeah, what!" You know, that type of guy. But Pitbull is in the, was in the news for, uh, hi- his mission to break the world record for largest gathering of people wearing bald caps, which had me wondering, can, can legit bald people show up to this, or does it have to be a bald guy wearing a bald cap in order to count? That type of thing. That, that's just my big question. I saw the, uh, article pop up on my Facebook feed from that, uh, from that page called Dexerto that's known for breaking news about stories like this, and I commented, "My culture is not your costume," and sure enough, it had, like, fifty likes. I consider myself now to be a Facebook comedian, all right? [chuckles] No, no stand-up tour needed. I just crack my jokes on this show, Peaches Pit Party. Wasn't there somebody in the area recently that was bragging about how there's a particular new radio DJ coming to their station that was, like, the relative of Donny Osmond? Not even Donny Osmond himself, but, like, his brother or his dad maybe. I thought Donny Osmond was old. I can't imagine how old his dad is. [chuckles] He must be in his nineties. How old is Donny Osmond? I need to look that up real quick. Donny Osmond,
sixty-eight years old. His parents, Olive and George. George Osmond died back in two thousand and seven. See, now that makes sense. So he died at ninety. Nineteen seventeen to two thousand and seven, so it must be, like, his brother or something. I don't know. There's a lot of those different... There's a lot of different Osmonds out there in that family. There's Marie Osmond, who I just remember, remember her being on Game Show Network as, um, a weight loss spokesperson. I forgot if it was for Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem. I just remem- remember that specifically. I never really watched her in anything else. I just— I, I was wondering who Marie Osmond was as a kid, and my parents explained it to me, and that was about it. All right, Donny Osmond, I feel like, is the most famous, 'cause I've seen him in a couple of different, uh, Disney Channel shows as a kid. Well, a woman who went to one of Donny Osmond's Las Vegas residency shows, she's suing Donny Osmond, saying she was hurt when she got hit by an oversized ball prop during the concert. Now, I'm just thinking it's a beach ball that was getting passed around, and she wasn't looking, probably texting on her phone. Sure enough, I think she's old because Donny Osmond's also, you know, sixty-eight years old. I'm sure his fan base is right up there with him, and [chuckles] I'm sure she fell over because, you know, she's an older woman and probably felt so embarrassed. Now she's like, "I'm gonna sue him and try winning!" Uh, it, it says she suffered traumatic retinal injury and retinal detachment to her right eye, requiring surgical intervec- intervention. Was he throwing shot put balls? Like, wait, was he throwing bowling balls at his concert? How, how could it be that bad? No, it says right here, she said during the show, she was hit by an inflatable lit ball. That caused that bad of an injury? Just made of glass bones and paper skin. It's Peaches Pit Party on KBEAR one-oh-one. This sounds like a, a Black Mirror episode. So Meta, you know, Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg's company, apparently got a patent for AI that could basically keep posting as you after you die. Like, you're gone, funeral was last week, suddenly your Facebook account, still active, saying things like, "Gas prices are ridiculous!" You know, that type of thing. Everyone's all like: Oh, that's, that's so something Michael would have said. [chuckles] Mi- Michael's now been dead for, like, three months. It's still going. That's where it gets creepy, not just the tech, the social part of it. Imagine scrolling and seeing, like, your dead uncle arguing about the Super Bowl in the comments, or your grandpa reacting to your vacation pics with a thumbs up. Are we supposed to just collectively nod and go, "Yeah, that tracks," type of thing? And what happens when the AI slightly misses the, the, like, the per- the person's personality? Like, your dad suddenly posts, like, something like, uh, "Slay Queen," or something like that. Now what? Do we correct ghost dad? Do we unfollow him? Do we stage a second funeral? [chuckles] It's one thing to preserve memories. That's cool. Old photos, voice clips. I, I know a few people that have since passed, and their Facebook profiles are still up, and I think on some of them it says, "Remembering so-and-so." I can't imagine AI just taking them over. I can't imagine a chatbot you choose to talk to privately, something like that, somebody that leaves comments like, "Oh, there's dead Aunt Karen, you know, just commenting on my po- my, uh, posts again, saying how great I look." [chuckles] It's kind- I can make so many jokes about this. This is so creepy to me. Let's, let's just move on. Here's, here's Vanna with Prey on KBEAR one-oh-one. President right there with angel wings for It's So New on KBEAR one-oh-one. That song came out earlier this morning. I think I listened to it right as it was released. I mean, like, a minute after it was released. I realized it was gonna be released at ten AM Pacific Time, eleven AM our time, right as it was, like, eleven oh one. I turned it on, and it's, it's all over the place. I mean, you got some dance EDM in there. You got some-... uh, pop, you got some rock, you got metal towards the end there. President, Angel Wings. Again, President gonna be opening up for Bad Omens, also Beartooth, this Sunday at the Delta Center. I did not realize that that is going to be the first show of the Do You Feel Loved? tour, and Bad Omens revealed the address for their pop-up store in Salt Lake this Sunday, which I'm hoping we can make it to. I'm hoping the weather doesn't suck, so I can go see all three bands for potentially the, the best lineup of twenty twenty-six: Bad Omens, Beartooth, President. Uh, that show is on our concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. All the people that won tickets should have their tickets. I'm super excited for this weekend. Overall, I'm super excited for concert season to return. It's been a while. [chuckles] I'm, I'm very happy that it's back. President right there, Angel Wings, it's so new. Uh, I believe maybe tomorrow or Friday we get new Wage War. I'm assuming Friday, 'cause that's when new music predominantly gets released. Maybe we'll get, I don't know, Wage War tomorrow. I'm hoping they wiped their Instagram clean. They've been teasing about it. Oh, man, new Wage War is just what the world needs. Oh, I'm glad new music is also coming back in full force. [whooshing] I saw this story a few days back about this one six-year-old kid named Pim. I think that's a very unique name, Pim Mary, uh, Anorac Neal. Is that how you say Anorac Neal? She's, she's six, and apparently, this six-year-old had become enamored with selling Girl Scout cookies at just three years old, long before she was old enough to become a Scout. Now she's a very old six from, uh, Mountain, Washington. "Pim is the top seller in the organization's twenty-seven-county western Pennsylvania district. Pim has sold one hundred and six thousand eight hundred boxes of Girl Scout cookies since the selling began on January sixth, and will continue selling until the Girl Scout cookie season ends on March twenty-second." Now, I need to know, h- what, [chuckles] what is the overall world record for selling Girl Scout cookies?
H- by one individual. I should have typed that out. I think Pim... Oh, wait, I see Lily Bumpus in twenty twenty-one, um, she had a hundred and eighty thousand? No, that was held by another girl. This, uh, AI overview is so confusing. Is it... So it's Katie Francis. She's the career record for number of Girl Scout cookies sold, with a total number of one hundred and eighty thousand boxes back in twenty fourteen. I believe Pim is... I, I'm hoping she can break the record. Do you think... I wonder how old Katie is now. Do you think she's gonna hate this Pim girl for stealing the record from her? The Wilt Chamberlain of Girl Scout cookie selling. I can make so many jokes about this. Do you think there's, there was, there-- it's like that scene in Toy Story
where Woody's getting slowly replaced by Buzz Lightyear. That's how Katie's gonna feel once, uh, Pim takes over her record. I mean, that's quite a lot of cookies. I don't know what her, uh, what her, uh, marketing plan is, what her, what, like, her execution of sales is, like, w- how, what's her sales plan, but I feel like that's something you should put on a resume. I feel like this girl is gonna be, like, a, a future, uh, salesperson for a big corporation, something like that, a- and she's gonna say: "Hey, back when I was six, I sold over one hundred thousand [chuckles] boxes of Girl Scout cookies," which I do need to find, um, a Girl Scout selling, um, those Tagalongs, or the, is, uh, uh, is that what they're called? Those, uh, peanut butter ones. Those ones are delicious. I might need to buy a box of those from somebody here in the area. [whooshing] Back in middle school, I used to be that guy that would wear the funny T-shirts, and one of them was a list of all these different questions. I believe it was called The Burning Questions, and it would ask things like, Why does round... Why does a round pizza come in a square box? Why do we drive in parkways and park in the driveway? That type of thing. And one of those questions was, Why do we never see baby pigeons? And, you know, there's that long conspiracy theory that pigeons are actually government drones, the whole thing, right? [chuckles] But people are still wondering: Why do you never see baby pigeons? Turns out there are baby pigeons out there. They're just, uh, very private. Urban pigeons build their nests in little nooks on buildings, under bridges, inside eaves, and other spots that are basically out of sight from people on the street. Unless you happen to peek into one of those little crevices, you won't see them. Baby pigeons are actually called squabs. They hang out in their nest for weeks while they grow feathers and get strong enough to fly. They don't fledge until they're practically the same size as adults, so by the time they finally leave the nest, they already look like regular pigeons, and you would never guess they were babies. So there's something. You learn something new every day. [whooshing] I used to go to Buffalo Wild Wings a whole lot more than I do now. Now I just feel like I, uh... What's it called? Now I mostly just eat at home or eat with my, uh, girlfriend's family, eat with her, that type of thing. I don't really go out all that much. S- s- sometimes we do, but it's very rarely Buffalo Wild Wings anymore. But I'm willing to admit, as a guy who likes to order the, quote, unquote, "boneless wings," th- they're certainly just chicken nuggets. All right? Boneless wings are, in fact, chicken nuggets. So this diner sued Buffalo Wild Wings all the way in federal court, arguing that their boneless wings were misleading because they're really just breaded chicken breast, not actually deboned chicken wing pieces. The claim was that calling them wings was basically advertising deception. I know a guy... I, it's weird how a guy is just so willing to go that far [chuckles] into it. Like, who cares, really? Was this guy that down bad on money?... I, I, I wouldn't think so, because don't you have to pay for, like, your own team and all that in court? I don't really know much about it, but this- but the US federal judge in Illinois, this, uh, particular guy who was in charge of this case, dismissed it, saying the plaintiff didn't show that reasonable consumers are actually misled by the term. Boneless wings has been a familiar menu term for decades, so people know what they mean. The idea that you thought you were getting literal wing meat is more of a personal gripe than a legal violation. So for now, Buffalo Wild Wings can keep selling boneless wings under that name, much to the relief of anyone who's ever happily ordered them, knowing full well they're just saucy chunks of chicken goodness, right? All right, today's What the Headline genuinely made me laugh. The headline says, "When Pigs Fly." A farmer in China decided he had found a clever, clever new way to get his pigs to the slaughterhouse. [chuckles] Instead of loading them onto a truck, which he said was slow and exhausting, he strapped a pig to a giant remote-controlled drone and tried to fly it there. As you might expect, his plan was a spectacular failure. On its very first flight, the drone drifted straight into a set of high-voltage power lines. [laughing] The pig ended up dangling in midair for hours. The entire village lost electricity. The farmer tried to free the drone himself, but eventually had to call the power company. It took a dozen workers more than 10 hours to fix the outage, and also the repairs were costly. The farmer told officials he couldn't see clearly because of the weather, but that explanation didn't save him. Investigators later found he had flown the drone into a no-fly zone and overloaded it with the weight of that pig. He explained that the mountainous terrain makes transporting livestock by truck extremely difficult, and he believed the drone would save time and money. And interesting, interestingly, local media says, uh, more farmers in remote areas have started using agricultural drones to move livestock. Imagine seeing that for the very first time. That would've been the funniest thing ever. Some pig flying, gets electrocuted. Fried bacon, that's what it is. That's today's What the Headline right here on KBARA one-oh-one. [whooshing] Yesterday was Pancake Day in London. No, it was not just for people eating stacks of, you know, syrupy goodness on their couches. There was actual racing, people sprinting around a square holding frying pans with pancakes in them, all dressed up in, uh, goofy costumes like a giant pencil, a penguin, a strawberry, and whatever else sounds like a decent Halloween outfit. It's basically the world's best weird exercise class, um, mixed with, like, a brunch relay. You know, this isn't some random flash mob either. It's Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day. It was that yesterday, Fat Tuesday, in many places. Uh, traditionally, yesterday was the last day before the, uh, Lenten fast in the Christian calendar, so people would use up rich ingredients like eggs, milk, butter, by making pancakes. That's literally where the name comes from, pancakes for dinner, breakfast, lunch, whatever else you can shove in your mouth before fasting starts. And somehow, that old food tradition turned into pancake flipping races, people in sil- silly outfits, and probably a little bit of who cannot spill the pancake before the finish line chaos. It's one of those traditions where the serious idea of preparing for a spiritual season gets mixed with good food and people running around like lunatics with breakfast foods. Honestly, it sounds like the kind of holiday everybody should have, a mandatory pancake sprint followed by eating lots of pancakes. Also, I totally feel like this should be some sort of Olympic sport. Uh, instead of watching something dumb, why not add Olympic spr-- the, the, uh, pancake sprint? Why not? [whooshing] For you nerds out there, uh, Zillow just launched Zillow for Warcraft. The same company, you know, everyone uses to browse real-life, uh, real-world homes. They partnered with Blizzard Entertainment to launch a custom microsite called Zillow for Warcraft. It lets you browse houses in Azeroth. Is that how you say it? The world of World of Warcraft. I've never played it. I, I've seen plenty of people play it. I know about the Leeroy Jenkins meme. Um, just like how you'd browse homes on Zillow, you could do so with this, complete with visuals and virtual tours that feel like 3D model walkthroughs and sky tour-style views. The homes include both player-created houses and Blizzard-designed ones, inspired by classic Warcraft architecture. Pretty cool, right? I mean, a site built for browsing real houses suddenly lets you shop for fictional pixel homes in Azeroth. It's like if Realtor.com started showing hobbit holes in The Shire, and you could contact the agent type of thing. I don't know, just something to talk about here.
