[upbeat music] The all new Knocked Loose featuring Denzel Curry, "Hive Mind." I did a reaction video to that track, and I had it put it up on my own YouTube channel, @brendanpeach, because, well, it contains a lot of naughty language, and we can't have that on the K-Bear YouTube, can we? That one @kbear101rmg. It's me, Peaches. I am here. It's also pre-Friday, AKA Thursday, February 12th, 2026. You know, I've been saying this for a while, that a lot of people become fans of something or hate something because of what the internet tells them to. That's been happening for a long, long time. Now, somebody a long while ago also coined the term coworker music, meaning you have zero music taste. You listen to generic bubblegum pop that has no substance. Fast-forward to now, that term is being used for anything really popular: Disturbed, Three Days Grace, et cetera. Any mainstream rock band, that's supposedly coworker music to people who specialize in listening to bands that have, like, forty-five monthly listeners on Spotify, and it sounds like their recordings were done in a cave. This new Knocked Loose track that I just played for you, the metal elitists are a little upset that Knocked Loose has become as popular as they are and have now started labeling them as coworker music. Which, I mean, there are a lot of people i- in this office that if I were to play Knocked Loose everywhere in this building, they would all run away and say how much they hate it, so, uh, coworkers hate it, too. But also, I think the thing is, is that we've talked about this so many times, how there, there are also those AI-generated social media accounts, and their whole purpose is to cause fights online. I think people are still falling for those accounts' 'cause you see them pop up on Facebook from time to time. It's rather annoying. You see them put like, "Ghost is not metal!" And then people, surely enough, just reply back to that bot. That person's not even real. There's also people just looking for attention, and we gotta ignore those people. You have to. So anyway, yeah, Knocked Loose, I was just reading into the whole debate about how Knocked Loose with this, uh, with Denzel Curry, this particular track of theirs, is now being considered coworker music on Twitter, or X, as they now call it. I just logged on to our Twitter account for the first time in a long time. I immediately saw two naked guys. One of them was [chuckles] on a crosswalk, or in a crosswalk, just, you know... I, I don't know what he was actually doing, and a bunch of other weird stuff, so I, I didn't wanna have this all on my, on the work computer, so I got off of it immediately, and, and that was on the kbear101 account. We're not even following those accounts. They just pop up now on Twitter. That's how big of a mess Twitter is. Anyway, if you wanna get ahold of me, you can over at [chuckles] two Oh eight five three five one Oh one five. It's Peaches Pit Party right here on kbear101. [whooshing] There are many things that I will never do in my lifetime, like bungee jump. That seems so stupid. I mean, people can do it, all right? It's just my opinion. If people wanna do it, go for it. It's fun to watch from the side. I, myself, am never going to do it. I, I also think I'll never skydive because, well, I just don't feel like jumping out of a plane unless it's absolutely necessary, you know? [chuckles] That type of thing. I would-- I also never wanna, uh, ice skate, and I never, ever, ever want to rock climb. Rock climbing, for me, just seems like there's no point what-what-whatsoever. All right, people can do it in their free time. Like I said, to each their own. Uh, but last month, there was that whole guy named Alex Honnold... Is that how you say his last name? I'm not exactly sure, of Free Solo. He climbed the Taipei 101 skyscraper in Taiwan, but a high school in Taiwan has been supposedly way ahead of that curve. The school is famous for challenging students to scale a five-story-high wall to receive their diplomas. Students there take six climbing lessons each week and have to get to the top to graduate. To be clear, the kids don't see it as something to be scared of. Instead, they're, they seem to love the rock climbing activity, and some even team up with their parents to climb in their free time. Now, is this whole high school supposed to be about rock climbing, or is this something that they just came up with one time? It's one of those really weird things. The high school in Taiwan's Changhua County, is that how you say it? Has become famous for challenging students. Oh, I see the wall here. It's, it's pretty crazy looking. I, I, I just don't see the point in doing this. Like, uh, wh-wh-why? I-is there a lot of things to climb over there, and they're, they're like, there was-- they wanna make kids the next... I, I, I don't know what they're supposed to be. W-what's the point of this? [chuckles] They'll teach anything in high school besides, uh, actual things you need to know in life, like taxes, buying a house, buying a car, et cetera. [whooshing] You know what? I'm gonna overshare here on the air. We're gonna talk about farts, all right? 'Cause I was reading this whole thing about how a team at the University of Maryland basically said, "What if your boxers could control your farts?" They created a... Not control your farts, like track your farts. They created a sensor that clips onto regular underwear and measures hydrogen gas, which is only produced by gut bacteria. That's actually smart because hydrogen levels can reflect fermentation patterns and diet changes. The wildest part is that this underwear has ninety-five percent accuracy in detecting diet changes, mapping gas patterns across the country. Uh, they're launching something called Human Flatus Atlas, which sounds fake, but it is very real and also hilarious at the same time. We're officially entering an era where your underwear knows more about your microbiome than you do. Which, I mean, it's also great that we're using technology to track stuff like this, 'cause what if there's a sincere problem? And a lot of people out there, this could really help out. But my biggest worry is that, for some reason, they're gonna tie in some, like, subscription service into this. Like, you can get the premium version of these underpants if you pay ten dollars a month....And if you're paying a subscription service for undies well, I, I, I, [chuckles] um, hear me out now. I, I just realized, as I was saying that, 

00:06:10,623 --> 00:08:03,964 [Speaker 0]
that I used to be that guy that would pay seventeen dollars a month for those fun me undies boxers. Yeah, I, I wore those fun, decorative boxers, some-- they have cool designs on them. What are the ones I have on today? I'm gonna peek down real quick. What are these here? Oh, my peach ones! [chuckles] How nice. My peach boxers. [whooshing sound] Poppy with chaos times four, it's Peaches here. Peaches Pip Party, to be exact. I was laughing at what Randy Bly said on a podcast. He was talking about the old Lamb of God logo, and I was more so thinking that the classics from Lamb of God, like Redneck, Walk with Me in Hell, so many others, they're considered, uh, dad rock at this point, right? 'Cause when did they come out? I'm looking that up real quick. I'm gonna make everybody feel old right now, including myself. All right, 'cause I'm no, I'm no spring chicken. Okay, let's look up Lamb of God. I'm scrolling down to their discography. Yeah, it came out in two thousand and four. Ashes of the Wake, two thousand and four. I see, uh, two thousand and three, As the Palaces Burn. Sacrament, two thousand and six. That was twenty-plus years ago, so yeah, I'm considering it dad classic metal at this point like, like Slipknot. It's hard to hear. I know, I know, but the reason why I wanted to talk about this is that Randy, uh, was on this podcast talking about how the old Lamb of God logo uses the, uh, Papyrus font, which has been made fun of by that infamous sketch on SNL with, uh, Ryan Gosling, and also it's been made fun of for quite some time. A lot of graphic designers, I don't think, like it. I wish I had Star and Maddie in the studio here to talk about it, 'cause there are graphic designers here in the building, and I think Maddie has a certain... a certain [chuckles] way she looks at Papyrus, and I forgot exactly how she looked at it, but I think it's more so a meme right now, Papyrus. But the old Lamb of God logo, he compared it to something-- He compared it to 

00:08:03,964 --> 00:22:54,951 [Speaker 0]
what, what, what you would see on a falafel restaurant menu, and I thought that was pretty great. But the new logo is kind of simple. I wanted something more crazy. I wanted a nice tumbleweed of sorts, kind of like a Psycho Frame. You ever see their logo? Look up theirs. Theirs is awesome. Let's do some Architects right now with Broken Mirror on KBARA one-o-one. [whooshing sound] So seventeen-year-old Charlie Wood, Tiger's son, is ranked twenty-first in the American Junior Golf Association and has committed to play college golf at Florida State. It's not a bad choice, considering five-time major winner Brooks Koepka and Paul Azinger, the nineteen ninety-three PGA champion, also attended FSU. Indiana University alums are, are still excited about the team's first-ever National Football Championship. So much so, in fact, they'll pay an outrageous amount of money for something that touched head coach Kurt Signetti's... Is that how you say his name? K-Kurt Signetti's head. The headset he wore on the sideline during the championship game was put up for auction to raise money for the school's NIL fund. The opening bid started at four hundred and fifty dollars when the auction began on January twenty-sixth. That number slowly rose to twenty thousand dollars by the morning of the auction's final day, and then people went nuts. By the time the bidding was done, the headset sold for one hundred and twelve thousand five hundred dollars. Linebacker Solomon... Okay, I'm not even gonna attempt to say this guy's last name. Uh, it's Solomon Tu- I'm gonna try it. Ni- no, never mind, I'm gonna try it. Solomon Tulupou is returning to school, will be playing for the University of Montana Grizzlies this upcoming season. It's a remarkable move, considering at age twenty-six, he was granted a ninth year of eligibility by the NCAA. To put that into perspective, it usually only takes seven years of college to get a law degree, and he's on nine. Still trying to chase that NFL dream, and I feel like it might be slipping away. I feel like, I feel like you should definitely be focusing on a real college degree and getting a, getting yourself a nice job somewhere. Let's do-- Let's talk about one more thing here, 'cause this, this sounds pretty hardcore. A brutal new contact sport called Run Nation Championship, RNC, is gaining popular, popularity in Australia. It involves two athletes sprinting full speed at one another and colliding head-on. The league has attracted competitors with backgrounds in rugby and MMA, who compete with almost no protective gear. Of course, doctors and other health officials are not amused because it seems every collision results in a concussion. Yeah, no kidding, it's stupid. [laughing] It's just the dumbest thing on the planet. That, and also those stupid power slap competitions. I mean, those are fun to watch, but to participate in? No, thank you. That is it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on KBARA one-o-one. [whooshing sound] There are people out there who say, "I just go with the flow at the airport." Absolutely not in my case. I watch my flight details like I'm guarding nuclear codes. But listen to this real quick, all right? A guy was supposed to fly from LA to Nicaragua with a quick stop in Houston and somehow boarded a flight to Tokyo instead. Tokyo! Different continent, different hemisphere, different everything. He didn't realize until mid-flight when he asked a flight attendant why his three-hour flight to Houston was taking six hours. [chuckles] If you've been in the air for six hours and you're not in Houston from that, from LA, something is deeply wrong. Now, to be fair, airports are, in fact, chaos. Some gates get reused, announcements blur together, you half-asleep, your brain is fried. But still, at some point, the captain says, "Welcome aboard our flight to Tokyo. The screen in front of you shows a little airplane icon headed across the Pacific." The meal service is not screaming, you know, "Texas layover." There's a meal service. [chuckles] If there, if there is a meal service, that means the flight's gonna be long. Uh, I, I ch-- I check my boarding pass, like, forty-seven times. I check the gate, flight number, I check the tail number of the aircraft. I don't trust anybody. This guy just said, "You know what?...Let me just board this flight. Oops! I don't know how I ended up in Tokyo. I don't understand how people can be that dumb. Genius of the Day material, which you can hear sometimes on The Victor Wilde Show at, uh, six forty-five. Now, let's play some Hardy. It's Jim Bob. [whooshing] I find this to be utterly hilarious. Adam Mosseri, I believe that's how you say his name, the head of, uh, Meta's Instagram, testified in a trial in Los Angeles brought by users and focused on harms to young people, that Instagram isn't something people can be clinically addicted to. All right, the plaintiff claims features like infinite scrolling and autoplay were designed to be addictive and contributed to mental health issues. Mosseri, Adam Mosseri, pushed back in court by distinguishing clinical addiction from problematic use, saying he thinks, uh, people can use Instagram more than they feel comfortable with, but that isn't the same as a medical, [chuckles] clinical addiction. So the, the, the-- basically, overall, the chief of Instagram says, "Hey, there's no such thing. All right, continue using their platform." Make sure to follow us at KBEAR one oh one FM. [whooshing] We all love dumb criminals, and this guy from Slovakia had been on the run from Italian police for sixteen years because he skipped the rest of a jail sentence he was supposed to serve for shoplifting back in twenty ten. Basically, he was a fugitive, someone wanted by the law, who managed to stay hidden that whole time. Fast-forward to now, the twenty twenty-six Winter Olympics are happening in northern Italy, and the Slovak national, uh, decides to go there to watch Slovakia's hockey team play. That was his big plan: catch the game in Milan. But here's where [chuckles] it gets wild. He got arrested as soon as he showed up. The Italian police spotted him because his name was still on their wanted list. He checked into a guesthouse near Milan, and officials basically just waited for him to do that and then nabbed him sixteen years after he disappeared. So instead of join, uh, of en- enjoying a hockey match with fans from all over, he ended up in handcuffs and was taken to jail to finally serve the roughly eleven months and a week he had left on that old sentence. It's one of those stories that's a, that's a little crazy on two levels. This guy managed to stay hidden for over a decade and a half. That's a long time to dodge law enforcement. He literally walked into the place where international attention was focused, thinking he would blend in with all the traveling fans, and instead, that's how they got him, right? It's almost like a plot twist you would see in a movie, decades on the run, only to get s-- only to get stopped because you wanted to watch your team play, right? Here's President Destroy Me. [whooshing] If you're, like, sixteen and paying for Snapchat Plus, sure, that's, like, your whole universe. The badge matters. The custom icon matters. Social currency is real when you're in high school. But if you're, like, thirty-two, paying monthly for a little gold star next to your name on Snapchat Plus, I'm gonna have questions like: What are we flexing here? There's something called, like, a ghost trail on the map. There's also that stupid, stupid, stupid notification that someone rewatched your story. Also, what happens quite a lot, and I'm contemplating just deleting my Snapchat overall because of this, I keep getting alerts for... that, that announce when someone posts to the spotlight, like it's breaking news. I'll hear my phone vibrate or feel my phone vibrate, and sure enough, I'll take my phone out and look at it, and I'm like: Who cares? Who is that for? CNN is not cutting in to say you uploaded a vertical video. You know, if you're using it for analytics or actually trying to build something on Snapchat, cool, but the people who I've seen upload there are the complete opposite of influencers. [chuckles] They're more so wanting people to immediately watch what they uploaded, a- and they're paying five bunks, uh, five bucks a month so their app icon can be purple, and also, people can monitor who double tra-- double-tapped on your thirst trap twice. Again, those people that keep posting that stuff to the spotlight are definitely not posting thirst traps, or at least I don't want them to. [chuckles] It, it just seems so stupid to pay for another subscription service that is Snapchat Plus. [whooshing] There's a team out there called the Oshawa Generals. They're already having a, uh, rough season, and, well, there was this email that was sent out telling their season ticket holders to shower before games because a bunch of people were complaining about how badly the crowd was smelling. Fans were apparently comparing the stench to, uh, cat business, bad breath, all kinds of things no one should ever have to sit next to at a hockey game. So instead of talking about goals or power plays, the team is basically like, "Hey, maybe take a bath before you come watch hockey." That's their official fan etiquette advice now. People online have had a field day with it, comparing it to every weird stadium smell story ever and wondering if this is a new hockey tradition just to smell bad. You know, uh, hockey fans are sometimes metalheads, and so there's correlation there. Someone even joked the team would have to start handing out deodorant at the next door, at the door next. I mean, who cares? Might as well. That'd be pretty cool, right? I feel like that's a great marketing thing to do. The team ended up apologizing after the email went viral because telling your friends-- telling your fans that they smell wasn't exactly the m-- the most popular game plan. So instead of cheers, chants, and jerseys, the Oshawa Generals might be remembered for the most awkward pregame memo in hockey history. "Please clean up before coming to sit with us." [whooshing] Obviously, there was that very, quote, unquote, "controversial" halftime show at the Super Bowl with Bad Bunny, also Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin. Well, tons of people, tons of people, watched Bad Bunny's halftime show, and water usage across New York City just dropped because a whole bunch of people were so into the performance that they didn't want to miss a second, not even to use the restroom. Then the show ended, and in the immediate fifteen minutes afterwards, water usage spiked so sharply that city officials tweeted it. It was the equivalent of seven hundred and sixty-one thousand seven hundred and nineteen toilets flushing at once across all five boroughs.... basically a coordinated bathroom rush on a massive scale. I, I find that hilarious. For a few minutes, millions of New Yorkers collectively said, "I can hold it. I can hold it." But one- once the last beat dropped, it was like a citywide release of bladder all at the same time. [whooshing sound] So Sydney, Australia, just found a fatberg the size of four, uh, four buses buried underneath a, a wastewater plant. Four buses! Not a basketball, not a couch, public transportation. A fatberg, by the way, is basically what happens when people treat their drains like a garbage disposal for bacon grease and wet wipes. All that fat, oil, and "it'll be fine," hardens into one giant sewer monster. And here's the best part: for the past year, mysterious black balls have been washing up on Sydney beaches. People thought it was oil, environmental disaster, big dramatic moment. No. Scientists tested them and found out they contained human waste. Turns out the giant underground grease blob is basically shedding, like a disgusting sewer glacier. Water flows over it, little chunks break off, float through the system, and pop out into the ocean like the worst gumballs on Earth. And the city can't even get to it. It's in what they're calling an inaccessible dead zone, which sounds less like plumbing and more like a horror movie. Uh, y- you-- Like, it's like, almost like a Last of Us moment. So Sydney-- So now Sydney's solution: a 10-year overhaul of the wastewater system. 10 years! Imagine explaining that in a meeting. "So the beach is throwing up poop pebbles because we have a bus-sized grease demon underground. See you in 2036." [whooshing sound] This winter hasn't been all that bad, but I am seeing more and more on our Facebook about how there was this certain shift, and all of a sudden, now we're expected to have a whole bunch of, uh, the dreadful S word that is snow. [gasps] You know, knocking on wood, not trying to jinx us here. You know how we all complain about the cold, though, every single year? Everybody loves Idaho, but hates that for the most part of the year, it's cold and it's miserable. Imagine not having the option to just go inside, though. That's what the Frosty Footsteps 5K on Saturday, March 14th, is really about. It's not just a run, it's about raising awareness and support, support for people experiencing homelessness in our community. It's meant to remind us that, for some people, winter isn't inconvenient, it's dangerous. And this year, we're looking for businesses and community members to step up as sponsors, be a part of something that actually matters. It's a simple event. It's a 5K, a walk, families, kids, community, but the impact goes way beyond just crossing a finish line. Sponsorships help, uh, fund programs and resources that make a real difference for people who are walking through winter without a warm place to land. If you, uh, ever-- If you've ever wanted to align your business with something meaningful instead of just another logo placement, this is one of those opportunities. You can get all the details, sponsorship info, and event specifics at walkinthecold.com. Walkinthecold.com. March 14th, the Frosty Footsteps 5K. Run for warmth, uh, warmth, sponsor for impact. Let's play some Royal Bliss by my side. [whooshing sound] I've been doing a lot of different uploads on our socials. I've been really, really, really trying to amp up our social media presence, really trying to, uh, help out our YouTube channel with a whole lot more of just content overall, uh, especially, uh, reactions to specific songs, one of which, uh, just came out. Um, check it out, KBear101 RMG, uh, Don Broco, a, a very, uh, weird band, but a fun band, just released a song with the legendary Nickelback. And [chuckles] so I decided, You know what? I'm just gonna react to this. I saw that... I saw it dropped from a, a particular news source and was like: You know what? I'm not gonna listen to it. I'm gonna watch it on cam and get my authentic reaction, and then upload it to the public, so then people could, uh, judge my reaction. There's been plenty of those reactions on our YouTube where I've made fun of certain artists, and you can tell the hardcore artists got re-- or the hardcore fans got really, uh, butthurt by it. And one guy even left a comment on my Megadeth review and said, "I watched this for two minutes and then just turned you off." It's like, well, you just left this comment, so clearly you watched it. Appreciate the view. No matter how long you watched it, you still watched it. All right, KBear101 RMG on YouTube. [upbeat music] Thanks for listening to Peaches Pit Party, the podcast.
