Really wish it was a little bit later in the week than Tuesday. [laughs] Last weekend just went by way too fast. I blinked and it was over. Very, very annoying. [laughs] Eh, it is what it is though. Every weekend goes by way too fast, which is why, you know, we're gonna need a three-day work week. A three day, yeah, three-day work week to be mandatory. All right, I'll go for four. Ah, can you tell my brain ain't working yet?
It's way too early to have an additional cup of coffee. Um,
I don't know what I'm gonna do. And I had a strong one today. [laughs] I was kinda concerned, like, should he have put that many scoops of that instant coffee in that cup? Oh well, I, I'm, I'm, uh, still here, still going. Okay. I think Peaches asked this question for To Peach Of Their Own yesterday, "What's an album that's 10 out of 10, no skips?" I got a bunch of 'em. Got a bunch of 'em I could name. Now, the most popular answer I'm seeing so far on the internet is Rumors by Fleetwood Mac. It's a fine album. Not a huge Fleetwood Mac fan. I highly doubt I'd ever turn that one on. The songs are fine.
There's just better stuff to listen to, like Tool, Lateralus or, uh, Tool, Ten Thousand Days. Nine Inch Nails, The Downward Spiral. Nine Inch Nails, The Fragile. Many Beatles albums. Uh, there, there's tons of stuff you can throw on if you want a 10 out of 10 album. What else is the internet saying here? Uh, Dark Side of the Moon, I think I would have to agree, a 10 out of 10 album, for sure. Massive Attack, Mezzanine. Haven't really listened to full albums from Massive Attack. Uh, Queens of the Stone Age, Songs for the Deaf, I would give that a 10 out of 10. It's fantastic. All right, Depeche Mode, Violator. They're fine. Another band that, uh, you know, they have some good songs. I don't know if I'd turn on a full album. Uh, let's see here. Beastie Boys, Paul's Boutique. I'm sure I've heard that album, but, uh ... Another one I doubt I'm just gonna throw on. Let's see. Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morrissette. Very popular when it came out. I don't remember all of the, uh, songs on it, just the radio songs. Probably not gonna throw that one on. All right, how about Mars Volta, Deloused In The Comatorium. I haven't listened to that album in many, many years. It is a fantastic album. I think I'm gonna have to check that one out again sometime soon. Mars Volta, I think is a, uh, pretty underrated band. They're really good. Pearl Jam, Ten. I really liked that album when I was younger. Right now, only remembering the big hits off of it, but I know I had it on cassette. That's how old I am. I had a cassette. I'd rock that in my car, yeah. Green Day, Dookie. I loved that album when it came out. Still haven't, you know, turned it on in a long time. All right, finally somebody threw some Tool, Lateralus in there. Absolutely. All right, Boston, Boston.
All right, you know, I mean, there's some good songs on that. Probably not gonna turn it on. Uh, Linkin Park, Hybrid Theory. You know, it's a great album. I'm not a huge Linkin Park guy, so don't tend to turn those guys on in my spare time. It's funny, I've talked to other radio programmers about this, or you know, coworkers, when it comes to picking songs for the radio stations. And you know, I'll get my list together and be like, "All right, here's what I'm gonna put in this week." And they're like, "Oh, I don't like this song. I don't like this one. That song sucks." And I'm like, "Well, it isn't up to you, for one. [laughs] But two, personal taste does not dictate what should go on a radio station." And I think that's a major problem at a lot of radio stations around the country. You got these programmers who they think it's all about them, and if they are personally not into something, they won't play it, or if they don't understand it, they won't play it. If it doesn't fit, they won't play it. I am not a big fan of lots of stuff we play on K-BEAR, but I know that tons of people like it. My job is to play music for everyone, not for me. If you want a radio station that's just for you, that's what, you know, burning a CD or Spotify playlists are for. There you go. You throw together your own mix tape, your own playlist. That's what pr- probably 99% of the radio programmers I'm aware of out there should be doing, especially when it comes to new music. Looking at what people are playing for new music, it is just sad and annoying. It gets me, uh, it gets me frustrated, so I probably shouldn't even talk about it. [laughs] Radio can really, really suck. It can suck badly. All right. Morning's moving along
slowly, but the day will be over before we know it, so let's just keep powering ahead and crush it down. Let's crush and destroy Tuesday. I'll be back with more tunes, many of which I probably, you know, didn't, uh, personally enjoy. [laughs] No. I like a lot of the stuff we play. Uh, ro- we got a caller. They wanna go live. All right. I was gonna bail, but let's see who we got.
Robert, good morning.
K-BEAR, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this?
Hi, my name's Robert. I'm calling about the, uh, best albums.... comment on the radio. I think Waken the Fallen from Avenged Sevenfold's pretty good.
That's a classic, man. Pretty good stuff. I haven't listened-
It's yeah-
Haven't listened to the full thing in a, a long time, but it, it's really good.
It's been awhile, right?
Yeah.
All right. So, you have a wonderful day today. Thank you for doing what you do.
Hey, thank you, man. Really appreciate it and hope you have a good day as well.
You too.
See ya. Okay, so there you go. Listen to some Avenged Sevenfold today. Enjoy that. [energetic music] Morning, my people. What is up? [energetic music] Or if you're listening on demand, happy whatever time of day it is. Uh, let's see. Small inconveniences that make your blood boil instantly. Should we try to get each other mad? Get each other frustrated at like 7:00 AM? Why not? Why not? That could be fun. All right. Let's see. People who walk through a door and then just stop. Yeah, [laughs] that's a mild inconvenience, and it is annoying. Get out of the way. Jeez. All right, what else do we have? [laughs] People saying they will be ready at a certain time and end up being 20-plus minutes late. Okay. Now,
I am probably guilty of that, so I'm sorry for mildly inconveniencing people when I've done that before.
I got a lot going on, you know? I keep pretty busy. And even when I don't wanna keep busy, it seems like I end up keeping busy. Last night, all I wanted to do was sit around and watch TV and play video games, and, uh, I got looking around the house and I'm like, "Mm,
uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh." So, I just did chores, like, w- way too late. It was a stupid move. I shoulda just went to bed. [laughs] But, I got a lotta chores done, I guess. So, hmm, something. All right, what else do we have here for mild inconveniences that make your blood boil? Oh, when it takes more than a couple seconds to open a website, like we don't live in the freakin' 2010s. That definitely... [laughs] It's definitely something I can, uh, agree with. Yesterday, I was trying to open like 20 tabs here on the computer, and a bunch of 'em just wouldn't load. I was so irritated. So irritated by it. I mean, if any website doesn't open right when I need it to, if I'm having internet problems, that just aggravates me. And you wouldn't think that it would, where I'm an old school internet user from like, you know, the '90s, back when you had to use dial-up internet. Some of you are lucky you never had to deal with that. [energetic music] Like, I remember back in the day when you wanted to get a photo. Like, "Whoa, I can get a photo on my computer?" And it would take like an hour to load up a crappy, grainy photo, and it was so amazing. You'd think I'd have patience for the internet now. No, that's what happens. You get used to something, and you start to expect that as the norm. And then when it's, you know, not working out, you're like, "What is this?" All right, what else do we have here? This is probably a bad thread for 7:00 AM. Some small inconveniences that make your blood boil. You just sit there and get thinking about it and go, "Y- yeah, I'm, I'm getting mad." Oh, when you go to click something and you get a pop-up and you accidentally click the pop-up instead. That's really annoying. All right, when you drop something, bend down to pick it up, then drop something else. [laughs]
That could be pretty annoying. Slow people. Now, eh, I'm pretty patient, all right? If I'm driving and people aren't doing the speed limit, that can make me, uh, pretty frustrated, especially on Sunnyside at the time of day I'm on the way to work, 'cause there ain't a... I mean, I, I shouldn't say there ain't anybody out there. There are people out there, but
not enough that traffic should get backed up. And we're talking 5:45 AM. Uh, g- give me a break. Pick up the pace. You can do at least 40. That's the speed limit. It's Sunnyside, k? There are only [laughs] like three intersections at lea- okay, during the little chunk that, that I drive every single day. All right, we're, we're again talking small inconveniences that make your blood boil.
If I want to leave a conversation, ugh, let me. Yeah. That doesn't happen too often. Um, but every once in a while, somebody just keep yapping. Keep yapping, and maybe you're not in the mood for it. I always pick up the phone, though. You, your listeners aren't a problem, k? [laughs] Generally, that's like, uh, nah, nevermind. I don't even wanna think about it, 'cause then you start getting yourself, uh, irritated. Rude customers that speak to you like dirt, then getting offended if you disagree with them or tell them not to speak to you like dirt, knowing they wouldn't take it at their place of employment. Um, I mean, uh, just rude people in general that talk to you like dirt and then get offended when you disagree with them. Or people that get, yeah, offended if you disagree with them, period. Like, I enjoy having a nice discussion. You know, I try to engage people sometimes with discussions about things like politics, and inevitably, I start getting called names. [laughs] Uh, I don't ever attack people when I start having a discussion, but some of the, uh-[rock music] Phrases I've been called over and over again. I'm like, "That, that's all you got? Why don't you come at me with some facts?" Enough with the, uh, the name-calling. Name-calling is not how you win an argument. People having a typing sound on their phone. Uh, to me, it's a lo- a lot of the time just having sound on the phone on period [laughs] can be annoying. My phone's, like, always on vibrate, and the only time I'm mad that the ringer isn't on is when I can't find my phone. Then, then I'm like, "Well, why didn't you turn your ringer on?" Oh, geez. This thread is getting me annoyed, so I'm gonna, I'm gonna stop it and we're gonna play some music. [rock music] Sorry that it's only Tuesday. Hopefully this week goes by quick. Just need, as usual, a nap. Yeah, go to bed early everybody. [laughs] It's good for you. I don't know [laughs] why I stayed up so stupid late last night. I was just on one, on one doing chores. Took me forever to get to sleep. Sucked. All right, I just keep finding aggravating things on, uh, social media and stuff, so let's see what we can find at eastidahonews.com. Maybe there would be something, uh, fun and cheery we can check out there. When I, when I'm struggling to find things that aren't just negative online, I tend to go to the features section there. All right, I'm not gonna look at East Idaho Eats. [laughs] I like to look at it and find out about restaurants, but, uh,
you know, I've been to a lot of shows recently, and, uh, concessions are expensive, so I don't think I'll be, uh, going out to eat anytime soon. What else do they have here under features? Oh, I'm not gonna look at Dave Says, 'cause Dave Ramsey makes me crazy. And who wants to real- like, who reads Dave Ramsey articles? You know? He's the money guy who tries to, you know, make you feel bad about your money situation. Yeah, way too early for that kinda crap. What else do we have here? Pet of the Week. There we go. Get yourself a, a furry friend.
They got Axel, the current Pet of the Week. It's a pretty metal name. Getting the hiccups. What the heck? That's annoying, too. All right, Axel, the five-year-old black Lab at the Snake River Animal Shelter is the current Pet of the Week. So, if you've been looking for a doggo,
maybe go check out Axel. He needs a home. Needs a home. All right. You have to see this. Okay, this section could be fun. Man sets world record for biking up the Eiffel Tower. So, I, I guess he gets on his bicycle and he rides it up the stairs. You have to see this! All right, uh,
Cruise Ship Passenger Gets Stuck In See-Thru Water Slide Over The Ocean. Okay, I do have to see this. Let's see, uh, how terrifying this is.
A video has captured the concerning moment-
Is this that water slide that pushes you through-
... a cruise passenger becoming stuck over the water slide-
... and you're, like, underwater the whole time?
... hanging over the ocean. Check it out.
Or was he able to breathe?
The woman can be seen inching her way along the transparent-
Uh, what happened here? Did the guy go down backward?
... 60 feet, 60 meters above the water.
Guy is stuck inside of a water slide. All right, that's making me claustrophobic. All right, what else do we just have to see
at eastidahonews.com?
Car crash. You know, I don't need to see that. That, that doesn't sound pleasant.
Child walking on a monorail track at Hershey Park. You have to see this! Well, uh, it doesn't say that, uh, the kid was hurt, so at least that one's not gonna be an unpleasant video. Oh, country star Riley Green does gender reveal for couple while on stage during Idaho Falls concert. Nothing like a show getting interrupted by a gender reveal. Well, [laughs] at least nobody got hurt, far as I heard. All right. I'm gonna dig elsewhere. There's gotta be something that's not annoying online.
Like I said, social media, cesspool this morning, so wish me luck. [rock music] You know, we haven't done this in a while. We could go ahead and cue the outrage.
Now might be a really good time for you to get angry. That's my secret, Captain.
I'm always angry.
All right, let's talk about the Super Bowl, an event that I couldn't care less about, 'cause I'm not a football guy. But a lot of people get pretty passionate about the Super Bowl, and especially the Super Bowl halftime show. Now, every year, the Super Bowl halftime show is not very exciting, and people lose their minds and they go, "Why isn't Metallica playing?" Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 'Cause they don't understand that the NFL is trying to appeal to people who don't watch football to get them to tune in to watch all those ads that take place during the Super Bowl.
It's the one time of year that people, for whatever reason, get excited to watch commercials. They can't wait to be pummeled by just relentless ads. So this year, they booked a very popular artist named Bad Bunny, who a lot of people who don't listen to popular music are not familiar with. But I can tell you, Bad Bunny, one of the most popular artists in the world and here in America. So apparently, uh,
Turning Point USA says they're gonna be throwing their own Super Bowl, uh, halftime show, you know, to get people to tune out-[rock music] And there's this [laughs] fake flyer that's been making the rounds about the, uh, Turning Point USA halftime show. And it's so funny to me that, uh, people didn't notice that it was, uh, that it was fake, 'cause it should have been pretty clear. Now, maybe if you look at the lineup, you're like, "Okay, that seems like the type of halftime show that, uh, people would probably want." Um,
if you're just adamant that Bad Bunny shouldn't be doing the Super Bowl halftime show, the flyer says, "Kid Rock: America's Halftime Show, Ted Nugent, Travis Tritt, Jason Aldean, Aaron Lewis, John Rich, Lee Greenwood." But if you look at the bottom of the flyer, [laughs] it should've been pretty clear that it was a joke, 'cause it says,
"Featuring a guest appearance from Measles
and sponsored by Grindr." Grindr, a, uh, we'll just call it a dating app. I saw people sharing this every year everywhere yesterday, all excited about it. [laughs] And I was just laughing. Like, if, if... You guys, you gotta, you gotta read the whole flyer.
Or Google it up. How many times do you hear me say, "Google it up and see if it's true"? People will just share anything without looking in to seeing whether it's true or not. And that's why I think social media is in its worst state ever, and why people are just getting dumber all the time. And now that we've got AI videos floating around, I mean, people are sharing all kinds of fake stuff left and right that they believe is real. Um, please, please utilize Google. Or, I don't know, DuckDuckGo. There are a lot of different search engines out there you can use to, uh, you know, scroll through various articles and determine whether or not something is real. [laughs] But it did make me laugh that, uh, so many people failed to catch on that that was, uh, fake and also a joke, [laughs] with the Measles and Grindr stuff on it. But again, some people just, they, they don't look into things and stuff goes over their heads. And stuff goes over my head all the time, so it- it's not like I could say anything. But yeah, if you were looking forward to that, I'm sorry, it's not real. Now, they will probably be announcing something at some point, but I'm guessing it's just gonna be Lee Greenwood. Maybe Kid Rock, I don't know. [rock music] Dayseeker and Pale Moonlight. That band certainly crushed it the other night with In This Moment: The Funeral Portrait in Dead. Great show, but I am kinda glad that, uh, we've got a little break from shows coming up right here in the area. Gone to a lot of 'em recently and those concessions, yikes. Start looking at your statements going, [groans] "Yeah, I'm gonna have to get myself a part-time job." Anybody hiring out there? You want Victor Welt on board? I need money. [laughs] Gonna be doing a lot of staying cooped up at home. That's, uh, what I got in my future. Hiding in the house. All right, let's see here. What was I looking at?
"Phrase that instantly makes you lose respect for someone." Hmm. This is just who I am. [laughs] Yeah, I've heard a few people say that one before. It's like that, "Now, you could change some things about yourself, you know that? You don't have to be a turd all the time." [laughs] I'm just brutally honest. "No, you need to think before you speak. That's what you need to do." Uh, yeah, I've, I've dealt with a few people over the years that, uh, they, they don't take a breather before they speak and they just say the first thing that comes to mind. And you're like, "Dude, y- you didn't have to say that. All right? That is not helping things." Shut up. Okay, what else do we have here?
Let's see. That's just how I was raised. Well, you, you, you can, again, you can work on yourself. You can always change yourself. It might be hard. Go see a therapist, they'll help you out. Talk to a friend. There's people who can help you change if there's things you don't like [laughs] about yourself. Can't just blame your parents, okay? Like, you know, I wasn't raised perfect,
but I'll accept responsibility for who I am. You know? Any mistakes I make, it's like, "Yeah, I did that, okay? Not gonna point the finger [laughs] at other people." Ugh. Good vibes only. Now, that's just annoying. Doesn't make me lose respect for people, but... It, it's kinda like the word, "Idaho." You know, when I see a sticker or like a piece of wall art and it says, "Idaho," or I see #Idaho, I don't know why but that annoys the crap outta me. I don't know what it is. It's not like it's that terrible, but something about it. [laughs] Just can't stand. Good vibes only. Well, sometimes there's bad vibes, okay? And g- have, have you ever met someone who hangs up, "Good vibes only," and then you're like, "Hey, wait a minute, I'm sensing a little bit of not good vibes going on here. You ain't living up to your wall art." Mm-hmm. That's just my truth. Ugh.
[rock music] Well, no, that's just your opinion a lot of the times. Can't call an opinion your truth. Let's see here. Everything happens for a reason. [laughs] No, uh, I don't believe so. And I'm not gonna get into some grisly, horrible things and then say, "Everything happens for a reason." Generally, when you're saying that somebody, they don't wanna hear that, okay? [laughs] Probably going through something terrible, "Everything happens for a reason." Shut up! Sorry, I'm... I didn't mean to yell so much today. [laughs]
Need to take that, uh, ibuprofen. I don't know why. Woke up with a
little bit of a headache, just a little bit off. Just need to go to bed earlier. All right. Now, that, that... This page is actually getting me annoyed, so closing it out. [rock music] Well, in case you were wondering, throwing cheeseburgers at people as you, uh, drive by them, uh, it, it is still battery. Now, where was this at? It's gotta be Florida, right? "Arrest made in drive-by cheeseburgering." Ah, "Former strip club employee been arrested for a drive-by shooy- shooting." Okay. They were trying to be silly. They're like, "Ha, ha, it's more of a drive-by cheeseburgering. The guy just drove, drove by a crowd and chucked a cheeseburger at him, causing him bodily harm," that's what it says.
What was on the burger, okay? And was it, this guy, a Major League Baseball pitcher? You gotta throw a cheeseburger at somebody really hard to actually hurt them. Come on, it's a cheeseburger. It's just gonna explode. Was it wrapped in, like, you know, sharp aluminum foil? I don't know. All right, it says the guy was not seriously injured. He, he couldn't have been injured at all. And I'm not trying to justify chucking things at people. I think that's inappropriate, all right? [laughs] But, um,
anyhow, in case you were thinking of throwing things at people, no matter what it is, you can get charged with battery, and you're gonna potentially end up, uh, yeah, going, going to jail, okay? All right. I mean, I'd, I'd rather have a cheeseburger chucked at me than some of the other crap that I've dealt with out on the streets. Actual threats. Be careful out there. People are getting really dumb, really dumb out in public.
All right, what else do we have here? "Kids who use social media score lower on reading and memory tests, a s- a study shows." They didn't even need to do a study. I could tell you, social media is not only just making kids dumber, but certainly adults, okay? Social media is making everyone dumber. I would imagine, uh, everyone is suffering with poor reading skills, vocabulary, and memory tests, 'cause instead of reading things that are written by people that know how to write, people are scrolling and reading things written by morons all day, [laughs] all right? If all that you are being, uh, exposed to is stupid information that's written poorly, you're going to get dumber. Glad my... My kids don't seem to use a lot of social media, which is probably good. I use way too much of it, but it's kind of, you know, part of my job. I have to. It's in the title, you know, the job title. And, you know, you look for content on there and things like that. Well,
I don't know what I'd do if I had, had younger kids now. I certainly wouldn't want them to be on social media, 'cause it, uh, makes people crazy, you know? Does a lot of bad things to people's minds, aside from making them dumber, you know? Causes anxiety, depression. Social media really does suck. It used to be so great, but that was way back in the day. Now, no. All right, what else do we have here? "Butte, Montana, was hit by a bunch of snow." Yeah, yeah, that's not very far from here, mm-hmm. [laughs] The article, "Most folks are used to it, and they don't mind the snow that much." But then they immediately quote someone who says they hate the snow. [laughs] I don't understand people who like snow. You know, it's nice to look at when it's falling, but once it's on the ground, it turns to gray sludge, and then, you know, it gets all, like, hard, and the roads are garbage, and then it just sucks around here for like six months. Closing that tab. I don't wanna know about what's going on in Butte, Montana.
"TikTok star hstikytoky arrested after a manhunt." Uh, I guess he'd just been driving around like a total piece of crap for, uh, almost a year, you know, making TikTok videos of himself driving like an idiot. Again, be careful out there. There are crazy people everywhere, all right? [laughs] I don't know what's going on in the world, but people have lost their minds. And I see people like, "No, it's always been this crazy. We just see more of it because of social media." No, no, no, wasn't there, like, a big standoff in Idaho Falls just yesterday? Shutting off blocks? Thi- this happens, like, all the time as of late, you know, places on lockdown. Be careful out there, people. Like, like I mentioned, when I've been in downtown, re- seems like every time I go downtown, somebody makes a threat to me or someone I'm with. Like,
can't we just get out and have a good time? Can't everybody just get along? There's crazies out there. Ugh!... HS TikTokky. Good. Lock 'em up. All right, I'm gonna get into some of this other crap I pulled up later on the program here. In the meantime, it's 8:00. Halfway through the show already. Hope your morning's going good. Hope the day goes by fast. Hope the week goes by fast. And I hope you have a weekend ahead.
Morning, Peaches.
I'm on mic two or three?
Oh, I turned on mic two, but now you're on mic three.
Mic two, out of commission.
Mic two, well, I mean, it works as long as you don't touch it. Long as it stays right there, it's good to go.
It's perfect for me, I think. Look.
I- I think. Let's see.
Check, check, check.
Yeah, it's working fine.
No, but I mean the height.
Yeah, the he- it's only good for you.
Yeah.
Nobody else can use it.
I want them both. I'm gonna switch. Huh? Huh? [laughs]
All right, you better pick the right one. I'll turn them both off.
[laughs]
Don't wanna hear y'all cry.
Yeah.
[laughs] All right, well, anything new going on this morning, Peaches?
Um, it's super pretty outside. Go check it out.
It's super pretty?
Yeah.
What does that mean?
It's rainy and sunny at the same time. The fall leaves are out. I don't know.
Okay.
Try to be positive.
Well, it's not snow, so I'll, I'll take it. 'Cause if you were gonna tell me it was snowing, I was gonna perhaps have a complete mental breakdown.
I'm m- Maddie made it back 100% safe y- yesterday-
Yeah, I saw that
... from Montana.
I saw that Butte, Montana, I talked about it during Freak News, they got a bunch of snow. Screw that. Ain't going to Montana anytime soon, and we better not get any snow here anytime soon. I hate snow.
Well, here's the thing. You get up and leave Idaho.
Well, Peaches, find me a new job where they will, uh, allow me to do everything I get to do here and, uh, live basically the same existence. Anywhere you try to move that's, uh, cheaper than here sucks. Like, what? Mississippi? Pennsylvania?
Yeah, I would say y- you know a lot of people by now in the industry. You could-
Have, have you been reading the radio trades lately? They ain't creating jobs. [laughs] It's quite the opposite. Uh, you know, shout out to all them, uh, iHeart Media employees last week who were just, uh, wiped out. Salt Lake got hi- uh, lots of cities got, uh, and lots of staff positions eliminated. We're in the wrong business, dude. Wrong business. I don't even look at the radio job listings anymore. It's a waste of time. No, not gonna go work in Alabama. No.
[laughs]
All right? Ain't moving down south where it's hot and humid and crappy. Not gonna move to the Midwest. Illinois? Blech. What, Minnesota? No. I've been there. You wanna talk about a place with bad weather, think it sucks here, Minnesota, dude. Awful. Hot and humid in the summer, frigid, below zero, tons of snow, awful in the winter. The only places that the weather is good year round and it's not all humid, it costs, y- you know, millions of dollars, you know, you, you gotta be making like $300,000 a year to survive.
Yeah.
And, you know-
Wait for that giant paycheck from them.
And then you gotta be like, underwater welding if you wanna be able to actually afford it. Ah, not worth it. I'll just sit here and suffer with the snow that's coming soon. Ugh. I really gotta get my garage cleaned out so I can start parking, uh, inside. My garage is a mess and I don't know where to put all this stuff. I gotta get rid of some things. Yeah. Anybody want an old, uh, old oven? It works fine. Works fine, just I had to pull it out. It, uh, it works great.
Are you so desperate for content that you're starting to sell things on the air?
Yes. I, any- anybody want stuff? I got some stuff. It's, it's sorta junk.
This radio. No. [laughs]
It's sorta junk. I've got a dishwasher with, uh, bent hinges. Y- are you handy and you want a nice, uh, you know, stainless steel dishwasher that works great if you can get it to close properly? It's sitting in my driveway. Go pick it up. It, it worked great other than the hinges. The oven works perfect. Free. That's right. The good old price of free 99. You can have it. All right, let's see. There's nothing but, uh, annoying crap in the news today. Crazy people.
I'm just gonna hide in my house from now on. I ain't going anywhere. I've had it with these, uh, these nuts all over the place. So, yeah, nothing much to report, Peaches. Just trying to find stupid news, but I've, uh, exhausted many of the sources I usually go to to try to find things. So, it- the rest of the show could potentially be kind of rough. You know? I don't wanna go to the advice section of Reddit. That's too depressing, you know?
You already talked about the, uh, Taco Bell marathon. Talked about-
Oh, we talked about that like last week.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. No, just everywhere I go it's just bleak, depressing crap. So I'm, you know, I try to avoid that on the show. I like to spread sunshine and rainbows and keep people happy.
You wanna talk about expensive stuff, I was, uh, reading about how Gordon Ramsay's opening up a gastropub in, uh, Downtown Disney. And I think gastropub now is just fancy talk for, "We're gonna charge you $25 for a burger-"
Yeah, pretty much.
"... with a stupid toothpick in the middle-"
Mm-hmm.
"... with like that flag, you know?"
Well, and Downtown Disney is one of the most expensive places to eat anything.
Yeah.
You know? I went there one time and was like, "Downtown Disney sucks. Get me outta here."
Well, they got rid of all the cool stuff now. They got rid of Rainforest Cafe. They got rid of the ESPN zone.
See, neither of those sound appealing to me anyway. I don't need a bunch of animatronic animals making racket while I'm trying to eat subpar food-
Well, I mean, here's the thing-
... that costs three times as much as it should.
... you can go to a regular restaurant and deal with stupid kids running around and screaming, but at least for the animals at Rainforest Cafe they're fun.
Yeah, but they're still the stupid screaming kids 'cause it's Rainforest Cafe. [laughs]
But they're, but they're an- no, no, because they get drowned out by the animatronics and the thunderstorms.
Oh. You know me, l- like-[instrumental music] I, I don't like a lotta racket when I'm, uh, trying to get out and eat. Like, when we were in, um... Where were we? Uh, we were in, uh, Salt Lake after the Sleep Token show. There was a sports bar open, and I was like, "Okay, maybe we could go get some food." Walk in there, it was a huge place. It was packed to the brim with people, and I was like, "I'm out. I can't handle this, no."
You made a huge mistake already mentioning sports bar.
Well, yeah.
There's gonna be those loud dudes that are so into their team that they're just gonna scream and yell and-
But, yeah, but it was late at night.
... fight at the-
It's not like there's any games on or anything, but they still got... I don't know. There's too many TVs on playing old recaps.
Yeah, yeah-
Yeah
... that's what they are.
Yeah, wasn't my jam. I'd rather do a legit-
I'd rather do a Rainforest Cafe than a sports bar.
Oh, they're both pretty awful. I mean, I've, I've... There are some sports bars I like, but this one in particular, I just couldn't handle it at that point. I don't know if it was from being packed in with, uh, you know, 12,000 Sleep Token fans and just being done with being around people, but I, I was out. I was out. No people. No people. Hiding in my house, Peaches. There's crazies everywhere. They're out in the streets.
I talked about it yesterday too, the whole Sleep Token thing. Uh, everyone's recording on their phone the whole time.
Yeah.
That, that Look to Windward opening-
Mm-hmm
... recording on their phone.
Uh, everyone got the curtain drop, except, uh, I... Believe me, I took a picture of the curtain.
Well, can you imagine if Sleep Tokens had no phones at their shows?
I wish they would.
I, I, I wish they would too, but could you imagine, like, the outrage? Big time.
Oh, yeah, 'ca- 'cause they have the whiniest fan base. I'm, I'm pretty sure they're-
No, Seether does.
No, it's sleep-
See- See- Seether has the whiniest [laughs] f- bunch of-
No, sleep-
[laughs] I can't even say the word.
Sleep Token fans are definitely whinier, for sure.
I, I noticed on-
They're weirder
... my Taylor Swift reaction video on our YouTube channel.
Did you get a bunch of angry feedback?
I got a bunch of dislikes, and one lady's like, "I'm in my 40s. How dare you make a comment like that?" And it's just like...
I don't know, I heard one of the new Taylor Swift songs. I wasn't very... I, but I- I still-
I even told the song. I was like, "This g- I like the funk sound to this." And then I said, like, "What, what, what are these references?" I didn't know what she was talking about. Like, when it came to, like, Daisy and Penny, like, tho- like, th- those were cats? Like...
I don't know. Why would you... You know, people expect everyone to understand every aspect of Taylor Swift's life.
Right.
Not everybody's a weirdo like that, kinda like Sleep Token [laughs] fans. You know, making up all this lore and things like that. Like, the band didn't make any of that up. It's all fan, fan fiction. Fan- th- a- and I like Sleep Token fans. I'm one of them. That was pr- probably the best show I've seen in ages. It was amazing. But Sleep Token fans, man, you just go to any of their groups online. They're annoying.
Where they call themselves One Big Happy Family. Ugh.
Do they?
I can only imagine.
Oh, yikes.
I know The Funeral Portrait had to join their Coffin Crew.
The Coffin Crew?
Yeah.
Well, that's... They ain't bad. And The Funeral Portrait I don't think is gonna have annoying fans-
No
... that, uh, are, are, are that whiny.
They've been very supportive. Uh, one of our listeners shared my Funeral Portrait interview in that group, and one guy said, "I love Peaches," and it was really cool.
Yeah, Sleep Token and Bad Omens, that- those two fan bases, super cringe. No offense to those of you [laughs] who are part of those fan bases. I like both those bands.
My Chemical Romance is up there too.
Eh.
They d- there was a whole thing about people solving a My Chemical Romance puzzle, uh, yesterday.
Okay, but-
Putting these numbers together to figure out when are they gonna drop another song and...
I mean, I'm, I'm not against that kinda stuff, that, you know, if the band's putting out little, little puzzles and teasers, that, that's fun. It's just the whiny, the whiny fans. Like, stop your whining.
Well, those are metal elitists in general.
Well-
I mean, you gotta think about it, like, every single little thing. "I liked the show, but the venue had a brisk wind coming in from the southeast and I was just not having fun."
I know.
They have to post that in r/Metalcore.
And I'm sitting here complaining about people complaining, so I'm just as bad as the rest of them. That's me. [rock music] Well, I say it often, but guys are dumb. I was looking at a post on Reddit, and [laughs] apparently this guy
fake proposed to his girlfriend [dramatic music] in front of a bunch of their friends,
and she, you know, started kinda crying. You know, he'd gotten down on one knee, her heart stops, his friends gasp, she starts tearing up, and then [laughs] he just starts laughing. [laughs] Just joking. [laughs] It was a prank. [laughs] And then everyone laughed, but she didn't like it. She said she wanted to crawl out of her body, felt so embarrassed. He's like, "Come on. Come on, it's just a joke. Stop being so sensitive." And, uh, she said it wasn't funny 'cause it felt humiliating. And he's like, "Well, you can't take a joke. Guess I'm not gonna ever propose to you for real." Um... [laughs]
Some people take this marriage thing very seriously, all right? Looking forward to getting married someday. So, you know, you'd been toge- she said they'd been together three years and they had talked about marriage, like, you know, someday. So, she got all excited, and then he just crushed her hopes and dreams. Uh, that's, in my opinion, rude. Okay? [laughs] Don't do that. [laughs] There's a lot of jerks out there. You know what my response to this one is? Oh, yeah, dump 'em. There you go. I don't know, I see so many people in these terrible relationships and they just keep sticking at it. You know, like, "Oh, it's gonna magically get better." Somebody treats you that way, kick 'em to the curb. Dump 'em. I'm gonna encourage you to dump your significant other
if, as often as possible if things aren't going well. Okay? You're only on this planet one time and if...If it's just not going the way you need it to for you, you have to put yourself first, okay? Put yourself first and dump 'em, all right? 'Cause you never know what might await. There might be something better around the corner. If somebody's making you uncomfortable, they're rude to ya, if it, you know, just ain't working, everyone will get over it eventually, or so you hope. I know some people like to continue to make people's lives miserable for as long as possible, which is also terrible. If you're like that, shut up and move along. But also, yeah, somebody treat you this way, dump 'em. There's no reason to let people treat you like crap. You don't need people treating you like garbage in your life, okay? It's all right. Dump 'em, get a divorce, do whatever you need. Find somebody better. [laughs] I, I just thought that one was pretty rude, pretty rude.
Shouldn't be surprised though, been talking about terrible people all day long today. There are a lot of terrible people out there,
so
get rid of 'em. Get 'em outta your life. I'll try to find something more positive to, uh, talk about for the next break, okay? Sorry. [rock music] Well, how's everybody doing on a Tuesday? Can you believe it's only Tuesday? Ugh. Hopefully it's a good Tuesday for you, though. You know, hope it goes amazing. Hope it's fantastic. And I hope it goes by quickly.
Weekend can't arrive soon enough. Is there any crap I gotta do this weekend? I am hosting a show at The Heart on Friday, Halloween party. Gonna have some metal bands playing and stuff. It's gonna be a great time. So if you wanna come out to that, it's 18+. Sorry kids, gotta be an adult to attend this one. But I'm looking forward to it. Always enjoy getting out, hanging out with my metal homies and stuff like that. And then, yeah, aside from that I don't think I have anything vital going down on the weekend. I know my plan last weekend was to, uh, sit around and watch horror movies, and I did not get around to that. But may- maybe this weekend. Maybe this weekend. Yeah. Just gotta catch up on chores. Boo! Yuck! Did a lot of 'em last night, though.
Stayed up too late. It's like, well, I could just keep doing some more, stay up a little bit longer, and then
finally at one point I'm like, okay, I guess I'll just go to bed. And, uh, shouldn't have done that. Shouldn't have stayed up late, should have went to bed much earlier. I just got my next cup of coffee. Got it right here. 'Cause I got some tedious crap to work on today. It's called music coding. We'll go behind the scenes in radio. This is super boring. Uh, every song that we have in our system
has codes attached to it, and you have to manually go in and attach the codes. And I think I've got, uh, 708 country songs that I need to code. So I'm going to be sitting in my office listening to
the, the bulk of which is pretty depressing country music, 'cause it's not that upbeat, like Luke Bryan crap, you know. << Shake it girl, shake it, country boot it >> You know what I'm talking about. No, this is like the outlaw country where the guys are like, << Grew up in a >> ... Wait up, hold on, I gotta get my country voice on. << Grew up in the coal mine.
Daddy got the black lung.
Buried mama out back near the, the big tree.
Drinking whiskey and crying 'cause the girl left me. I'm gonna drink myself into oblivion. >> There's some sad country songs out there, and they tend to do with, uh, boozing. What's that one called that I've had to argue with the bosses about before 'cause it's just so depressing? Whiskey Lullaby, is that what it's called? I think it is. This is about a guy just drinking himself to death,
you know, 'cause he's all sad. Yeah, there it is. Let's pull it up here and we'll read it. Hold on, I need some sad music in the background. S- let's see. But we won't put the actual song on. We'll put on, uh, something else that's, that's sad.
I will remember you.
She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette. She broke his heart. He spent his whole life trying to forget. We watched him drink his pain away little at a time. But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind until the night. He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger and finally drank away her memory. Life is short, but this time it was bigger. And the strength he had to get up off his knees. We found him with his face down in the pillow. With the note that said, "I love her till I die." And when we buried him beneath the willow. The angels sang a Whiskey Lullaby. Oh, jeez, and then it goes on and on, and then it, uh, gets into the girl drinking herself to death.
I will remember you.
Somebody need to get some of these country guys, you know, a little bit of assistance. Gotta get 'em into some kind of a, a rehabilitation. You know? Maybe some therapy.So, anyway, that's what I'm gonna be doing after my show, listening to dep- depressing country songs all day. [laughs] That's fantastic, when you've already got anxiety. So I'm gon' chug some coffee, people. Never see that in a country song, do you? << Feeling down? So I'm gon' get jacked up on instant co- instant coffee shooters. And then I'm gonna work at my computer, coding songs. >> Yee-haw!
Seriously, 708 songs that I gotta listen to and analyze. And, luckily, it's the outlaw country songs 'cause, man, there are a few formats when you gotta code the music, it really sucks. Like, doing, like, anything that's, like, throwback '90s tunes, '90s country songs, '90s pop songs, [groans] eh. It's a bad day. Or, you know, even a lot of, you know, you're listening to, like, '80s pop and you have to just sit there and listen to it, Whitney Houston. You know what I'm talking about. So, anyway, I know it's a first-world problem. You might be out there roofing or something, digging a trench in the s- you know, sludge out there. And, "Oh, woe is me, I have to sit at my computer and listen to music," but
it's really hard to get motivated to do that. All right? Takes a lot of coffee. Okay, I gotta change up my own playlist here. I'm not gonna listen to stupid songs like that. I won't tell you what it was. It's just a stupid song, so I ain't gonna listen to that. We're gonna listen to some Whitechapel's what we're gonna listen to, something nice, heavy,
'cause that's what I wanna hear right now, something nice, nice and heavy. Wee-hoo! Um, where's the one I wanna hear? There we go. That looked pretty good. All right, "I Will Find You." Just listening to lots of heavy music this morning. I gotta keep myself going, keep myself pumped, 'cause after this show, like I said, nothing but depressing country jams coming my way. Luckily, some of it's good. I know I bash on country music a lot, but there is some country music that's good. It's just kind of like with any genre, few and far between. You've got your Sturgill Simpson. He's great. Tyler Childers, he's great. Colter Wall's pretty good. I'm sure I could think of more if I took the time, maybe some Chris Stapleton. But a lot of it, oh, is rough. It's just rough. Well, it couldn't be as bad as some of these songs. I'm looking at a list online of the worst songs people have ever heard in their entire lives. Let's check some of them out. You know, you're tuned in to hear good music. Let's play some little samples of some of the worst songs of all time according to the internet. All right, this artist was at the Eastern Idaho State Fair, the artist being Train. And, uh, a lot of people saying that "Hey Soul Sister"
is terrible. Let's check it out. I- I'm sure I know it. [ukelele playing] Oh, right out of the gate with the ukulele. Sorry, no offense to people who play ukulele. There's gotta be some way you can do something cool with one, I've just never heard it, and it reminds me of, like, cutesy music. I, I, I, I don't know. Again, e- everybody's got their own taste. I don't know what it is about that instrument, but listen to it. [ukelele playing] Sounds like something you'd play for little kids. Anyway, let's jump ahead and hear.
Ain't that mister, mister on the radio. Said-
Oh, yeah, that song's r- not good. Okay. That's all we're gonna listen to of that. Okay. That's a fair response. "Achy Breaky Heart." Some of you were lucky enough that you weren't kids when that song was a big thing. There was, like, a dance for it and everything. This is, uh, Miley Cyrus's dad, Billy Ray Cyrus.
You can burn my clothes when I'm gone. Oh, you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been.
There's worse '90s country. I'll say it, 'cause I've had to listen to a lot of '90s country. That one's not great, but there is much worse '90s country. Okay? I won't [laughs] dig into it 'cause we already heard enough "Achy Breaky Heart." Oh, here's one that I've mentioned before. Look, good to see I'm not the only one. Let's listen to a, a, a little bit of this annoying song.
Sick to, sick to every time.
[laughs]
And oh my, I, I, I, I like your style. You, you make me-
All right, I can't do it. Can't do "Dance Monkey." All right, so far, I think I've been agreeing with this list so far. I... Maybe not the worst songs I've ever heard, but I'm gonna go with the... Uh, I don't like these songs. All right, "Muskrat Love." What is that? I wonder if that's in the system. Sound like a country song. All right, we don't have that in our system, so we're not gonna be able to check it out. "Facts" by Tom MacDonald.
All you had to say was Tom MacDonald. And I know we've got listeners that like Tom MacDonald, but, man, that guy cringes me out. I mean, talk about somebody who just discovered an easy way to pander to a specific audience and make a lot of money.... just by pandering. I don't like pandering, all right? Let's see. Loving You by Minnie Riperton. Let's see. Minnie Riperton.
Uh, don't have that in our system either. Sorry, list. All right, All Of Me by John Legend. Let's see if we've got that one here. I'm just trying to ruin your morning, okay? I'm gonna- I'm- I'm gonna try to play you lots of terrible songs, show you how good the K-BEAR playlist is. Let's jump into this.
But I'll be all right. My head's under water. But I'm breathing fine.
Yeah, I- I don't- It seems like I've heard that song, but I'm- I'm- I'm not really sure. 1-877-KARS4KIDS. I don't think that counts as a song. Uh, oh, the Katy Perry song where she goes, "Cover me in daisies, daisies, daisi-" Yeah, I've heard that song. That's not very good. Justin Bieber, Baby. All right, let's- Uh, you ready for some Justin Bieber, everybody? He can definitely be pretty cringe. All right, uh, is that not in the system?
Hmm. Interesting. Guess I'm not complaining, 'cause it's one less terrible song that we gotta listen to. All right, um, Friday by Rebecca Black I think has just been trashed on by people for years and years. What's going on, Peaches?
Oh, nothing much. What's going on with you?
Oh, I was just about to take a break. I was just listening to a- a bunch of terrible songs, you know, looking at a list of, uh, just horrible music, 'cause I'm trying to get myself pumped up to code 700-plus country songs.
Well, I also gave you more songs for Jake's show just now.
Oh. Well, guess what's not getting dealt with today? [laughs] That.
I'll just add 'em all.
Uh-
[laughs] I'll take over.
I am not letting you-
M- move or be moved.
... pick the song. I am not letting you pick the songs for our playlist, Peaches. No way. No way. I- I'll- I'll give 'em a quick listen. How many did you dump in the folder?
There was, like, 10.
Oh, okay. That's not that bad. So, yeah. Anything by Yoko Ono. Nah. A lot of these I've never heard of, so I can't really judge on 'em. But
I'm very disappointed to see nobody mentioned James Blunt in this list.
Nobody with a worse voice on the planet [computer trilling] than James Blunt. Can you think of a worse voice? Even Yoko Ono.
No. [laughs]
Better voice than James Blunt.
You've got to be kidding me.
I- Giv- At least she's, like, got some art to what she's doing.
Yoko- Yoko Ono killed many people's ears and also John Lennon.
Yoko Ono-
[laughs]
John Lennon loved Yoko Ono.
I know. He- She ruined him.
H- He loved her 'til the end of days, you know? Who cares what anybody else thinks? She was his lady. So-
I need that shirt that says, "Yoko Ono killed The Beatles."
[laughs] Ah, no. The Beatles killed The Beatles, that's for sure. Ah, yeah, I- I'll take Yoko Ono over James Blunt any day. James Blunt, it- it- Like, is it a gag? Is he being for real? Did it just blow up like a meme, you know? [laughs]
There's- There's worse voices out there. Gwen Stefani has one of the worst ones I've ever heard.
Oh, she's got a way better voice than James Blunt. James Blunt sounds like he's joking. [laughs]
So does Gwen Stefani. [laughs]
No. [laughs]
Gwen Stefani's one of those women that, like, "Ahh!" And just nagging you all the time. Like, shut up.
Oh, Peaches, whatever.
[laughs]
Whatever. Gwen Stefani, a million times better than James Blunt-
Not even close, no
... and his whiny songs and that- [whines] I- Ugh.
