00:00:00,100 --> 00:14:20,948 [Speaker 0]
[upbeat music] And yeah, we're here. It's Wednesday, March eighteenth, twenty twenty-six. I am Peaches. Sometimes i-it's a struggle for me to find stuff to talk about on the show. Other times I can talk about so many different stories, but today is one of those days where I'm just like, I'm stuck. It's always like that in the middle of the week. For some reason, I, I look at a, a bunch of different articles, and I go, "Yeah, they wouldn't care about that. They don't care about that. I don't think they would like this. I don't think they would like that." That type of thing. There's also listeners that sometimes just say, "Hey, I wanna listen to music only," but that's what, you know, streaming services are for. You know, DJs drive the radio stations. They've been doing that ever since, uh, radio stations began, I feel like. Yeah. So if you wanna get a hold of me, you can over at two O eight, five three five, one O one five. I see that thread popping up still here from, uh, yesterday. What's something you're pretty sure only you do? Not necessarily the, the question. It's the same question I asked the K-Bear one O one Idaho Rock and Metal Facebook group, but I see it here on Reddit. L-l-l-let's look at some of these answers here. When I'm nauseous or get grossed out by something, I think of a stock picture of strawberries to feel better. Okay, that, that's something I've been doing as of late. Whenever I feel like I'm eating, like, junk food or I feel sick, I think about fruit. Like, I think about a nice mango for some reason, and that always makes me feel better. Maybe I should eat more fruit. Maybe that's what my body's, uh, needing. It's like, "Hey dude, your last name's Peach. Eat some of those, for crying out loud." I mist my kitchen spider's web every few days, so she can have a sip of water. Why would you keep it there? Anytime I see a cobweb, spiderweb, any bug in my house, I kill it right away. If I see a bug outside, that's where they belong. I don't touch it. They just do their own thing. But the second they invade on my territory, I, I, I immediately execute and toss the body. What's something you're pretty sure only you do? When watching a show, all I can think about are the actors telling someone they love that they got the part of this character. I think about, like, whenever an actor has to kiss another actor, I always think about, like, that awkward conversation they probably have to have with their wife. Like, "Yeah, you know Scarlett Johansson? I'm kissing her on screen. How do you feel about that?" It's like she's one of the prettiest actresses ever [laughs] and you, you're kissing her on screen, and she has a husband too. Shoutout Colin Jost of, uh, Saturday Night Live. Let's do one more here. Um, I talk to the commercials on the radio and tell them they're not the boss of me. I've joined in on other radio shows in the past because I'm, I'm such a loser that I would often, uh-- Well, back in the day, in college especially, I would listen only to the podcast version of this, uh, LA morning show called The Woody Show. And any single time... Well, no, he would start off the show by saying, "Good morning, everybody." And I would say, "Good morning, Woody," like I was four years old watching, like, Blue's Clues or something, you know? I was all into it. I'd make my own jokes to the breaks. Wow, what a loser. What a dumb thing to admit to on the air. Again, if you wanna get ahold of me, you can over at two O eight, five three five, one O one five. Peaches Pit Party will return here in just a few on K-Bear one O one. Peaches Pit Party on K-Bear one O one, Idaho's only rock station. Uh, I was looking here. I was reading this article about how Amazon is launching one-hour and three-hour delivery options across many cities here in the US. Now, I don't believe that we're gonna get that anytime soon, 'cause I don't think Amazon here in the state of Idaho, um, has even next-day shipping. I always really enjoyed that when I was, uh, at my parents' place when I wanted something. Back when I didn't have to pay any bills and I was just buying CDs, DVDs, video games all the time, I'd buy them through Amazon, like, every single day, and they would arrive r-- alm-almost-- Like, actually, sometimes even the same day it would show up if you ordered it early enough. It was so nice. Then I come out here, and you try ordering anything off Amazon, and it's like, well, four to six business days, and I hate... For some reason, that makes me irrationally mad. You know that question, what's something dumb that makes you just irrationally angry? Whenever something says business days. Like, I just got myself another credit card, and it s-say- it says it's gonna take seven to ten business days. That's a very long time, you know? W- Amazon launching this one-hour, three-hour delivery, I wish they had the same thing for credit cards. Um, enough of my complaining here, all right? I'll play some Sleep Token right now, Caramel, on K-Bear one O one. Here's something actually worth your time if you're looking to switch things up or, you know, you just, just get a solid job lined up, if you just want a solid job lined up. Rio Products International in Idaho Falls, they're, uh, hiring production workers, and this isn't one of those, uh, gigs where you need a stacked resume to even get looked at. There's no experience required. That's honestly the best part. Now, if you've got patience, you can focus, and you don't mind working with your hands, you're building fly fishing lines that end up getting used all over the place for this, uh, position with Rio Products International. It's Monday through Thursday, which already beats the standard five-day grind, and you've got two options: early morning or later in the day. Pay starts at thirteen dollars, twenty-five cents, bumps to fourteen if you take the later shift, and they're actually throwing in real benefits too. I'm talking medical, dental, vision, four O one K, the whole deal. Not bad for something you can get into without prior experience, right? If you've been stuck scrolling job listings, going nowhere, this is one of those where you can actually get in, learn something, and have a steady setup, all right? Hit farbank.com/careers to apply. And if, if you wanna see what else is out there locally, hireeastidaho.com, the two websites you should remember from this break. Farbank.com/careers, and also if you're wanting to just look at other jobs, hireeastidaho.com. It's got a ton of options straight up. If you've been saying you need a job, here's, here's one staring you right in the face. Here's one of those studies that sounds wild at first, and then you kinda sit with it for a second. Uh, a new survey says around nine-- nineteen, nineteen million Americans, yeah, million, have at some point seriously thought about, uh, shooting someone.Not just being mad in traffic or yelling at your TV. They're talking about actual serious thoughts. Now before everybody starts side-eyeing their neighbor, the part that stands out is this most people don't act on it, thankfully. A lot of them don't even have access to a gun, and some actually told, uh, someone they were struggling, which is probably the smartest move to do in that situation. Again, if you're ever in a situation, call nine eight eight, all right? Just dial nine eight eight, the best way to get you out of there. And this whole thing, it just kinda shows how common it is for people to get pushed to a breaking point mentally. Usually, we talk about funny stuff here on the show, but I wanted to make sure to point this out. It's not... It's, it's not saying it's normal behavior, but it's a reminder that a lot of people out there are carrying more stress, anger, or frustration than you'd ever guess just by looking at them, right? You see people smiling all the time. You think they're doing just fine, but no, at the end of the day, it's less about the numbers being scary, more about what people do with that moment. Do you either let it pass, talk it out, hit the gym, go outside, do literally anything else, or you go down a road that wrecks lives, including your own. So that's really the takeaway here. Everybody's got a boiling point. Not everybody lets it boil over, all right? Let's just- [laughs] Let's lighten the mood now with a fun track from, uh, Tom Morello featuring Caleb, uh, Shomo of Beartooth. It's Everything Burns on K-Bear 101. With the first round of March Madness starting tomorrow morning, all eyes will be on the sport of college basketball. Some, uh, number crunchers at WalletHub figured out the best cities in America for college basketball. They looked at nine key metrics, including stuff like the number of teams in each city, how much they win, their stadium capacity, among others. Here's a rundown of... Well, let's, let's do the top three, 'cause this is kind of one of those dumb things where it's like, "Hey, hey, let me list off a bunch of cities for you," of, uh... Here's a rundown of WalletHub's 10 best cities for college basketball fans. You ready? It's pretty obvious. Number one, Los Angeles. You got UCLA. You got USC. You got some good schools out there. Number two, Durham, North Carolina, which I, I, I can't tell you what schools are exactly in North Carolina. And number three is Lexington, Kentucky. All right? There you go. [laughs] I guess that's something for your, uh, Shot Clock Sports Update. Uh, now, moving on to college football, quarterback Matt Leinhart. I don't know how you say his last name. Matt Leinhart? Is that how you say it? He's a legend at USC. He won two national titles with the Trojans, nearly won a third, and because he also won a Heisman Trophy, the school retired his number 11 jersey. But over the past few years, USC has asked him to unretire the number because they wanted to give it to an incoming hot prospect. Leinhart won't do it because he doesn't want, quote, "some random dude" to take his number and, quote, "transfer after a year." Leinhart did say he'd make an exception if his son Cole Leinhart, a freshman quarterback at SMU, or one of his two younger sons wanted to wear number 11 at USC, but that's it. I, I, I kind of agree with Matt, all right? You know, most pl- most college players just go there for barely a year. They, they then, they then declare for the, uh, professional league, and boom, they're out of there. The pitch clock and this season's new ABS, balls and strikes review system, both got their start in the minor leagues, so there's a chance that we could see this season's new experiments end up at an MLB stadium in the future. Some of these experiments include the second base bag being slightly moved so it's in line with the other bases. It will be about nine inches closer to both the first base and third base bags. Catchers and pitchers challenging checked swing calls and meeting with the batter timeout, or messing with the batter timeout system, with some leagues banning batter timeouts, uh, completely. That does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on K-Bear 101. All right, I guess we're talking about this. Why not? Florida back at it again. They actually tried to pass a law to ban first cousins from getting married. And, well, it didn't go through, which means as of right now, it's still completely legal there. Like, there was a real conversation people had in a room, and the end result was basically, "Well, we'll, we'll deal with it another time." And I'm not trying to sit here and judge anybody's family, but if your family tree starts looping back on itself, that's usually a sign to maybe rethink a couple things, right? What's funny is Florida is taking all the heat, but they're not even alone. There are a bunch of states where it's still allowed. Florida just happens to be the one that makes headlines every time something like this pops up. It's one of those stories where you don't even need to add anything to it. You just read it and go, "Of course, that's still a thing somewhere." I'm betting one of those places is Alabama. Peach's Pip Party on K-Bear 101. There's a, uh, woman who posted a video saying she got kicked off a, uh, got kicked off a Frontier flight because she's deaf. Like, she couldn't hear the flight attendant. Things got misunderstood. Next thing she knows, she's being told to get off the plane. Did they sign that to her, or did they tell the person with her, and then that person signed it and that's when she gasped, you know? Or did... Could she just read the lips? I feel like she could just do that, too. You, you watch the clip. She's upset, saying it's embarrassing. Well, I don't think the best thing to do in an argument if you're getting kicked off a plane is to pull out your phone and record a TikTok. I mean, maybe. May- uh, well, actually, you know what? Now that I think about it, you could use that as evidence, but still, it's not gonna help out your case. Maybe the person with you pulls out their phone to record the entire thing. People around her even sticking up for her. And you're thinking, "Man, that's a rough look for the airline." But then Frontier basically comes out and says, "Yeah, that's not what happened." They're saying she got removed because she brought an open container of alcohol on board, which you're not allowed [laughs] to do. And when they called her out on it, she just chugged it right there.They also said there was nothing on her ticket saying she had a hearing issue and that she was communicating just fine with staff. And now you've got one of those situations where it's like, all right, what actually happened here? You know, the airline trying to say their own thing so they can defend themselves. You got her trying to potentially sue the airline for the most money possible. Depending on which side you believe, this is either a really bad misunderstanding involving someone's disability or it's someone breaking a rule and then the story getting spun after the fact. That's why these viral clips are tricky, man. You're seeing one angle, one moment. Everybody immediately picks a side. Meanwhile, the full story is probably sitting in the middle, somewhere in the middle. And nobody online wants to wait long enough to figure that out. They just want to start spewing out stuff. End of the day, it just turns into another air travel is exhausting situation. And also a reminder that once things start escalating on a plane, you're probably not winning that argument. That's safe to say, right? Should I be concerned? My girlfriend Aubrey tells me there's a guy who passed away in her, I think he was in her high school class or something like that. He passed away a few years ago. And he keeps showing up in her dreams. And my brain didn't go to anything normal. I immediately went, oh, cool. Like, you know, ghost dudes trying to slide in from the afterlife. Awesome. You know, like I'm sitting there thinking I'm going to break out this Ouija board and be like, hey, man, respectfully find somebody else. And then there's the other possibility. She used to have a crush on this guy and just isn't telling me. Now I'm over here beefing with a dead dude. You know, that's where I'm at mentally. Meanwhile, I'm having my own weird dreams. I meant to talk about this on the air the other day. I had one where my buddy Matt was burying someone I knew in high school in a trash can. Like he just 

00:14:21,028 --> 00:19:54,224 [Speaker 0]
headlocked, put him in a headlock, threw him in a trash can. You know how at some restaurants they have that trash can with the little circle on top? He somehow was able to squeeze him through that circle into the garbage. Just that, you know, it was at In-N-Out out of all places, like a place that looked like In-N-Out and was supposed to be In-N-Out but didn't look exactly the way that it looked when I worked there. So Aubrey, she's telling me this guy pops up every once in a while like it's casual in her dreams. And I'm over here wondering if I need to start competing with the paranormal, you know? Apparently there are people who say dreaming about someone who passed is just your brain processing stuff like memories, emotions, whatever. That sounds nice, but still, I'm keeping an eye on that ghost dude. Yeah, so it turns out people actually do want something they can hold. Not talking about like their baby. I'm talking about vinyl. Just crossed over a billion dollars in sales again. It's not even close. Records are making up more than three quarters of all physical music revenue right now, which is wild when you think about it because we've got every song ever made sitting in our pocket and people are still going, no, I want the big record, the artwork, the whole thing. And it's not just older collectors either. It's not someone trying to relive their 20s. No, Gen Z is driving a lot of this. They're buying records, building collections, actually sitting down and listening to albums front to back again. It gives me hope, you know, right? Kind of proves something. Streaming's convenient, but it's disposable, right? Vinyl feels like you actually own something. And honestly, there's just something about dropping the needle on a record that Spotify is never going to replicate, in my opinion. Let's go with some Des Rocks right now. This Land on KBEAR 101. Peach's Pit Party on KBEAR 101. I've talked about this many times on the show before, how the mall that I used to work at, the one that I used to just go to as a customer quite a lot, it's going to be torn down, I think pretty soon if it hasn't been torn down already. I'm talking about the Westminster Mall. I worked at that Foot Locker there for a little less than a year. It wasn't the best job, but it was my first job. A lot of memories inside that mall, just going there, shopping at Bookoff, you know, all the different stores in that location. But I was reading here about how shopping centers aren't really about shopping anymore. Like the report just came out, more than half of all retail space being leased right now is going to service type businesses, not stores. We're talking gyms, wellness spots, medical offices, that kind of stuff, which makes total sense because anything you can buy, you're probably just ordering from your phone. Like I just talked about earlier on the show, how I used to get all these different DVDs, video games, CDs, vinyl on Amazon with that next day shipping back when I was living in California. Nobody's driving across town to grab socks really anymore. Well, you know, that reminds me, I do need to get a new thing of socks because all of mine are getting holes in them and it's just super irritating. It's not irritating to me all that much, but it is kind of just like I get embarrassed going to like my girlfriend's parents' house and I take off my shoes at the front door. My socks have holes in them and they just see my feet and just they stare at it. You know, I feel like how a girl feels when they take like a picture at the beach and they have to like crop out their feet because they don't want dudes to just stare the entire time. But anyway, let's get back on track here. You will leave the house for like a haircut, obviously. I mean, some barbers might do a house call, right? They might show up there. Some barbers, they'll charge a ton of money. You'll leave for a workout. Maybe you have a home gym instead. Who knows? Something you can't get shipped in a box is what I'm overall getting at here. That's why you're seeing strip malls that used to be all retail. Now it's like one store, two empty spots, and then boom, you got a jujitsu gym, chiropractor, smoothie place. And the wild part, those places are actually keeping these shopping centers alive. Vacancy is staying low because as soon as a store leaves, something service-based jumps in and takes the space. Basically, malls do not die. They haven't died. They just turn into places where you go to do stuff instead of buy stuff. Well, the Westminster Mall, there was plans to tear that building down from theFor, for a while now, and I think they just jacked rent all the way up so they could kick out all those stores and then tear the whole thing down for more unaffordable apartments. Yeah, you wanna pay four thousand dollars for a, for a studio in Westminster, California? There you go. But yeah, a lot of spas, a lot of these, uh, service places popping up. Just, just an interesting thing to talk about here on the show. You know, I'm trying my best to build my online presence. I'm currently working on my website. I'm trying my best to, uh, get my following on Facebook even higher. I've been making these silly posts, and by making, well, I'm just going to ChatGPT, telling it to add something to a photo, and then I just upload it. And sure enough, that's been working rather well for my, uh, Facebook profile. That's not the only stuff I post, okay? I also post stuff about my life, actual legitimate pictures, uh, little, little things here and there. I did post that picture of the, uh, the fake skateboarder going, uh, down the ramp of this, uh, church that looks like a skateboard ramp. I don't know the full name of the church, but it's pretty... Uh, you, you'll know what I'm talking about if you, if you've been here your whole life, or you've driven by it in Idaho Falls. But yeah, I edited that picture with ChatGPT and then uploaded it, and sure enough, that, that got, like, two hundred and fifty thousand views on my Facebook, which is insane. So I've been trying to build more followers, try, try to get, you know, the, the Brendan P- Peach brand going. So 

00:19:54,224 --> 00:22:40,524 [Speaker 0]
I have that going for me, and then I see this here. Facebook is basically saying, "Hey, come back," to those who have left the, the, the, the platform. "We'll pay you." They're rolling out a creator program where they'll pay anywhere from a grand to three grand a month if you just switch over and start posting there. But there's a catch. You've gotta already have some weight behind you. We're talking a hundred thousand to a million followers on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. This isn't for someone just getting started. This is Facebook trying to poach people who already built an audience somewhere else. TikTok and YouTube have been, you know, running the show. Instagram's still holding strong. Facebook's like that guy who used to dominate and is now trying to remind everyone he's, he's still got it. Three grand a month, though, just to post where you're probably already posting anyway. There are definitely creators looking at that going, "Yeah, you know what? I'll take that deal. Sure. Why not?" [chuckles] Speaking of a, a few million followers, let's play this, uh, song from Yungblud featuring The Smashing Pumpkins. It's, uh, Zombie on Peach's Pit Party. We have today's What The Headline, and if you've got a, if you've got a pet at home, this one might make you, uh, side-eye your entire house. Uh, this cat in Florida named Midnight gets brought in with a, uh, serious stomach issue. They think it's the worst-case scenario. Rescue steps in, uh, vets do surgery, and they find 26 hair ties just packed in this cat's stomach. 26. This, this cat was out here collecting them like trophies, and it's funny until you realize how easy that happens. Hair ties, rubber bands, little strings to a cat, that's basically a snack. To us, it's nothing. To them, it's like, "Yeah, you know what? I'll eat that." Good news, though, Midnight made it through, recovering, appetite's back, all that, but now every pet owner listening is about to go home, look around like, "All right, what in here is secretly trying to take my animal out?" Do you know my girlfriend's sister, she was freaking out because, uh, I think her cat ate, like, a whole entire thing of yarn, something like that, and I just imagine that whole thing where the yarn is slowly coming out. You know, it's slowly exiting. I don't wanna go into too crazy of a, a detail here, but it slowly comes out. They have to pull the string out. Anyway, let's just move on. That's today's [laughs] What The Headline right here on K-Bear 101. Peach's Pit Party with Stained outside on K-Bear 101. It definitely helps to have the K-Bear 101 app on your phone because we like to do a lot of giveaways around here, especially to concerts, maybe even for just straight-up cash, maybe even for a signed guitar or a new gaming system. We give away a bunch of, uh, great prizes around here, and the K-Bear 101 app, you can receive notifications via that thing 

00:22:40,524 --> 00:24:28,584 [Speaker 0]
so that way you know the next time we launch a giveaway, and you can stay informed. That way you can just... You don't have to call in and ask me, "Hey, what are you guys giving away now? How do I win that? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." No, we tell you literally everything right there. Starting this Friday, we're giving away tickets to yet another show happening this year, 'cause 2026 is looking rather full for concerts. I think there's about 120 on that, uh, concert calendar. Speaking of concerts, I, uh, updated my list entirely of all the bands that I have ever seen. I talked about it briefly with Victor. I thought I had 108 on my personal list of all these different bands that I've seen in my lifetime. No, I've seen 119 different bands. So if you're like, "Peaches, I wanna do the same thing," well, check out that concert calendar. Uh, make sure to spend your money, uh, conservatively. You know, don't waste it all on concerts. There's all these rich people all the time saying, like, "You should invest in memories." Well, be smart about investing in memories. Like, you know, obviously a concert is going to be a fun time. No one's ever going, going to regret a, a concert. Even if it's a bad one, you still say, "Hey, [chuckles] remember when we saw the worst band ever? That was a fun time, right?" Riverbendmediagroup.com/concertcalendar. I just went off on a tangent, and now I have no idea what I... Oh, yeah, the K-Bear app. Download the K-Bear app. There's even a shortcut to the concert calendar on the K-Bear 101 app. Again, all contests, you... uh, happen on the K-Bear app. You can even give a song a thumbs up or a thumbs down. You can even tap the bell icon so that way the app reminds you the next time it plays here on the air. That's right, the K-Bear 101 app. If you're listening f- to the, uh, Peaches' Pit Party podcast out in the, out in the middle of nowhere, or you're in another state, you're wherever, you can still listen to us 

00:24:28,584 --> 00:26:33,151 [Speaker 0]
outside of East Idaho. Download the K-Bear 101 app. Not that long ago on the show, I was talking about that one, uh, supposed, alleged-Deaf lady that was on the, uh, Frontier flight that got kicked off. She says they just, uh, picked on her because, well, she was deaf, and she didn't hear the flight attendant. Well, the, the airline said, "Hey, no, she snuck on an open container of alcohol, and then when apprehended about it, she just chugged the entire thing." Nobody knows the truth. I mean, people are hiding the truth. We weren't there, so we just have to go with what people have said. Anyway, you remember that whole Coldplay kiss cam situation, right? That whole clip of that CEO holding on to somebody that wasn't his wife, and it turned into a full-blown saga. First, it's like, yeah, they're having an affair. Then it's like, no, they weren't. Then it's we were separated. Then it's it was just a bad moment. Now it's someone lied to someone about being married. It just keeps changing, and it all started because, well, they got caught hugging on a, on a jumbotron at a concert. That's it. The tiny... That tiny moment got blown up, went viral. Suddenly people are dissecting their entire lives like it's a Netflix series. I'm sure [laughs] this will end up as a, uh, Netflix series at some point. That's the part that's wild to me. Nobody actually knows the full story, but everyone... Everybody's picked a side already. Every time a new version comes out, people just adjust their opinion like, "Oh, okay. Now I know what really happened." You don't. None of us do. It's just another reminder. You see that one clip, one headline, and think you've got the whole picture. Meanwhile, the truth's probably sitting somewhere in the middle, again, getting lost while everyone argues about it online, just like how I said it before.
