All righty. Here we are. It's Monday, October 6th, 2025. I did the noon hour of madness and mayhem by myself in the sauna known as the Cannonball 101 Studio.
Jay, before he left for today, got the K-Bear studio fixed, thankfully. Shout out to the tech wizard himself, the one and only Jay Davis. He was at the Mudvayne show this past Friday. Same with Victor, same with me, same with Matty. Saw a lot of listeners. It was pretty cool. I never get... I never get tired of the same... Not the same people, just different people seeing me with the, uh, same message of going, "Oh, you really are that tall." Like, do you think I'm just making it up? There's either like the- the comment that goes, "Oh, you really are that tall," or "I thought you'd be taller. I thought you'd be at least seven foot three." There's always those two, right? Anyway, if you want to get ahold of me, you can over at 208-535-1015. That song I just played for y- played for you from the band Gore called Wrath, I highly recommend listening to their EP. It is phenomenal. It's greatly produced. I love the vocals. I love the, uh, diversity in the tracks, the different sounds you get, the, uh, musicianship overall is fantastic. I meant to make a post about it on my Facebook, but I've just been, uh, rather busy. I talked about it on the noon hour of Madness & Mayhem just a tad bit earlier that this weekend I traveled to and from Twin Falls just to hang out, get out of town for the weekend. You know, you're supposed to enjoy the weather before it gets a whole lot worse. But Saturday it was bad with the rain.
There was a... There was a part where I hydroplaned for a solid five seconds, got really freaked out. White-knuckled gripped the steering wheel. I didn't have cruise control on. I was getting very nervous that something bad was gonna happen or I was just not meant to go to Twin Falls, and I should've made a proper U-turn, but I was already like more than halfway to Twin and just... Yeah, I felt like it was easier just to battle through the rain. Luckily, I survived. I'm all good, I'm here. Nothing bad happened. Victor went to Sleep Token last night at the Maverick Center, so he's, uh, sleeping in for today. I'm sure he'll be back tomorrow, and my best bet is that he's gonna come in and go, "Oh, those strobe lights, they mess me up. I have a headache. I ate a bad hot dog. My stomach hurts. I- I might need to leave early, Peaches. You might need to just, uh, do the noon hour by yourself today. I'll- I'll see how I feel tomorrow." Tha- that type of thing. He's- he's always not feeling well. There's always something going on with our old, old pal, the one, the only Victor Wilt. Anyway, I'll be back here in just a few on K-Bear 101. I really hate how this chair is just completely broken, and Victor is so quick to blame me. But it's not the quality of the chair that he blames. It's me sitting down just in this chair that he blames. And he's like, "Well, I'm gonna get my own and just hide it in my office." I'm like, "Yeah, if you really want to be that guy who takes his own office chair down the hall, rolls it up and down the hall because he wants his own chair, watch his fat butt break that chair." You know, [laughs] I- I- I come into work sometimes and I don't even say anything. Nothing at all.
And I just tune into K-Bear and I hear him talking all this trash about how I'm breaking the chairs here. I'm just sitting here, doing the show. It's legitimately it. Maybe I should send him to Mount Everest. Be like, "Hey, go climb this and leave m- leave me alone." [laughs] I just... I saw this whole thing about how over 600 people are currently stuck at the top of Mount Everest with no way down after a blizzard strands them at the summit. Now, I would say maybe you should, uh, keep track of the weather before you ascend one of the tallest mountains in the world, but I also stupidly drove to Twin Falls when there was expected heavy rain throughout the whole day Saturday. So, there was nearly 1,000 climbers that were trapped on top of Mount Everest. Hundreds of them luckily are... Well, about 350 people are already safely down from the mountain, but the rest are still fighting, braving the elements. And how do you get down from there? Like, what's the emergency situation? Do they fly a helicopter up there? Can they do that? Oh, geez. There are many things in life that I want to do. Climbing a mountain is not one of them. One of the worst hikes I have ever done was the ascent to Santiago Peak in Southern California. We left at like 4:30 in the morning to get to the hiking trail itself. Got there around 6:00 AM, started the hike around 6:30, ended the hike 12 hours later, and I was crawling to the car. That is the biggest In-N-Out order that I have ever gotten after that hike, ever, in my entire life. I had like two three-by-threes, animal fry, and a large shake, just because of all those calories burnt, uh, because of that hike. Oh man, was that a treacherous, treacherous adventure. Was it memorable? Yes. Will I ever do it again? Absolutely not. K-Bear 101, very excited to go see Dayseeker this Friday at the Mountain America Center. They're opening up for In This Moment. There's also the Funeral Portrait and Dead on the lineup. Man, that's gonna be a fun show this Friday, October 10th, the Mountain America Center. What is going on with this light behind me here in the studio? I think it's haunted. It's supposed to stay on the color blue, but it keeps rapidly, I don't know, turning on and off. Oh, now it's doing some sort of like RGB pattern. I'm looking out into the hallway to see if Josh from Classy is messing with me or something like that, but I think he's very busy with his own stuff. I don't think he would do so. Jade's not here. Victor's definitely not here. So, is the building haunted? What is going on? [laughs] I was posting a meme in the K-Bear 101 Idaho Rock and Metal Facebook group. Victor posted some pictures and videos of the Sleep Token show last night at the Maverick Center.And, you know, people are so quick to just laugh react to it. You know, it's just like, "Why, why, why do you have to feel the need to laugh react to a certain post? Like, are you trying to show that your music taste is superior," type of thing. So I posted this meme that, uh- I forgot what page posted it originally. I believe it was Deathcore and Pig Squeals, where it shows the SpongeBob scene where the one fish is telling Squidward, "I'll have a 'I hate sleep' token with a 'I don't understand the hype.'" And the Squidward just goes, "How original." [laughs] It's, it's true though. Like, I- I just talked about it in a YouTube video that I'm about to post at K-Bear 101 RMG. I, uh, decided to react to Taylor Swift's new song, Wood. Put that on there, again, K-Bear 101 RMG. I truly don't understand people who just say, "I just don't understand the hype." Like, did you listen to it and you just don't like it? 'Cause that's a more valid excuse to not liking something. To- to just simply say, "Hey, I don't like it. Doesn't sound good to me," versus, "I don't understand the hype." Really. Again, that's just... This is just me talking. I must be on- I'm in, I'm in an- I'm on a negative tirade this morning. Or not this morning, this afternoon. Need to stop it. We need to turn into Peaches Positivity Party. I've seen those texts before, back when we had a text line. "Peaches, become more positive on the air." That's right, that's when we turn into nothing but happy music for five hours, and we take deep breaths.
No, I'm just kidding. If you're not a part of the K-Bear 101 Idaho Rock and Metal Facebook group, definitely join. Please follow us on social media. Also, K-Bear 101 RMG on YouTube. I decided to, you know, sit through that entire song, a whole two and a half minutes of Taylor Swift's Wood, so you don't have to. And you can see my honest reaction of it on our YouTube very soon. [air whooshing] Personally, I have been loving what's been going on on Instagram. I mean, it kind of gets overwhelming when you scroll Instagram Reels and you see nothing but AI-generated Sora edits. You know what I'm talking about? I think it's OpenAI, the same company that has ChatGPT, they decided to come out with this, uh, program called Sora, which makes you type in a prompt. So you can type in a prompt, and then it generates a video based off of what you typed out. And so, many people have made memes out of this with historical figures. And I'm not gonna go into too much detail about what I've seen on Instagram so far, but I'm pretty sure you, uh, catch my drift. There's been a lot of edits of Martin Luther King, Jr., and one of my favorites was him saying, "I have a dream that Xbox Game Pass was still $20 and not $30." You know, that whole ordeal that we talked about last week, how they increased the price of Xbox Game Pass by 10 bucks. And so, as a result, the- there were so many people trying to cancel their Xbox Game Pass that it crashed the website. And it's not looking good for Xbox whatsoever. I'm so thankful that my parents decided to, uh, be extremely generous and be the best parents, like I mentioned many times, and decide to gift me a- a PC, out of all things. I didn't want them to, but they did. And I was just like, "Okay, cool. Thank you so very much." Uh, uh, it helped me now, uh, be able to get extra money for some computer parts
that I could then keep it- keep it upgraded as time goes on. Get a second monitor maybe. You know, make this big switch from console gaming to PC gaming. Finally see what PC gaming's all about. And all I've been doing as of late is just playing a whole lot of, uh, nostalgic games. I bought Thrillville Off the Rails. It's kind of like Rollercoaster Tycoon, but I've been 100% completing that game. Once I'm finally done, I'll uninstall it. And then I decided, I just looked up SpongeBob on Steam, just because I wanted to see if there was any SpongeBob games. And sure enough, there's this new one called SpongeBob and the Cosmic Shake, or something like that, and it was on sale for $9. I said, "You know what? Let me just get it for fun." Not really playing the most- not really playing the biggest of titles on my gaming PC. No, there's been a lot of just fun little games here and there. I don't get enough time really to sit down and play through, uh, Red Dead Redemption 2, Fallout New Vegas. I might need to get back into streaming on Twitch. I know a lot of people have been anticipating my return to live streaming my games. And sure enough, like- like what Victor has mentioned many times, after you're done doing this type of thing on the air here, you don't necessarily want to go home and talk more. But anyway, going back to the whole Sora thing, those AI-generated videos. One of my absolute favorites as well has been the edits of Stephen Hawking at like the X Games pretending he's a skateboarder and going up and down the ramp. I don't want to get too morbid here. Let- let's move on to some, uh, Bill Murray more than hate on K-Bear 101. [air whooshing] Two months into the season, the New York Mets were- were the best team in baseball. By the end of the season, they missed the playoffs, which has led to a shakeup of the coaching staff, uh, while Manager Carlos Mendoza still has his job. A bunch of other coaches, including a pitching coach, two hitting coaches, as well as the third base coach, among others, will not return. On Thursday in Los Angeles, the San Francisco 49ers beat the Rams in dramatic fashion. And over the weekend, it was revealed that 49ers quarterback Mac Jones, who threw for 342 yards and 2 touchdowns, had a rough start to his game day. It seems he was on the balcony of his hotel hours before kickoff and saw a, uh, dead body floating in the marina. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is still investigating the incident, but some- somehow, someway, Jones blocked out the dead body drama, took care of business on the field. Two games yesterday were impacted by the Skycam and the cables that make it work, and the refs missed both calls. In the early morning London game, the Minnesota Vikings missed a 51-yard field goal against the Cleveland Browns when the ball apparently struck a cable. It wasn't noticed at the time. If the refs hadn't- had, uh, realized the cables were involved, the cable was involved, the kicker would have gotten another chance to kick.And then later in the day, the Cowboys-Jets game at MetLife Stadium. Jets' quarterback, Justin Fields, threw a, uh, screen pass towards, uh, running back, Breece Hall. It struck the face mask of Cowboys' defensive end, Dante Fowler Jr., and then it hit the Fox Skycam. The refs ruled that it was an incomplete pass. They were wrong. Should've been a do-over. So, we'll see what happens with all of that. That does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on KBAR 101. [graphics whooshing] Peaches Pit Party right here. You know, we have two Halloweenish tracks every hour as part of our KBAR Rockin' Halloween. Haunted by Juice City Vapor. Then on Halloween, non-stop Halloween music. Now, this past Friday from noon to 2:00, Victor was at the, uh, was at Wackerley Auto Center giving out, uh, pairs of haunted passports. We announced those, uh, winners on Facebook Live also on Friday. So, if your, uh, name was drawn, your haunted passport, your pair of haunted passports for each of you are waiting at the front desk. Stop on by and pick those up. And then also, for the rest of the people that didn't show up to the remotes, there's still opportunities to, uh, win these haunted passports, all thanks to our scream tones with Wackerley Auto Center and Minute Man Services. Just listen for that scream tone. You'll, you'll know it when you hear it. You'll hear the, uh, the scream obviously, and then call now. And then you gotta be Caller 13 at 208-535-1015 to win yourself a haunted passport to four haunted attractions here in the area. You got I- Idaho's Haunted Hospital in St. Anthony. You got Slaughter's Realm in Blackfoot. You got the Haunted Mill in Teton, and there's one more. Who am I missing? Who am I forgetting? I, I had this list memorized. [items clattering] I just dropped the AC remote. Where are the haunted passports? Did they all get taken? The... are they somewhere else? Oh, they're right here behind the phone. Hang on. What's the final one? I already said Haunted Mill, Slaughter's Realm, Idaho's Haunted Hospital. Lost Souls Attractions in Shelley. Uh, oh, did I say attractions h- poorly? Attractions in Shelley. That's also the fourth haunted attraction you can go to on, with, for, for free thanks to our haunted passport with Wackerley Auto Center and Minute Man Services. Listen for those scream tones, and, uh, let's do a Halloweenish track right now with Juice City Vapor, The Misfits, it's Skulls. [graphics whooshing] Didn't I on Friday find a great question for the Peaches & Thorne and say that I would, uh, well, I said that I would ask it on Monday? I don't have that question on-hand. I apologize. I completely forgot what that question was. Maybe I should go back to the, uh, the archive, the Peaches Pit Party podcast and listen to my own podcast to find out what exactly that question was. Or, maybe I can ask this question for the Peaches & Thorne. What is one skill everyone should learn? All right, let's see if I know any of these. You can as well. Let's play a game here. Do you know... are you more skillful than Peaches? There we go. Handling medical emergencies. Well, it, I mean,
w- do I know what to do in a variety of injury s- situations or a variety of situations where like, let's say somebody passes out or just starts choking? I'm not CPR cert- certified so I would say no, I'm not, uh, that's not a skill that I have. No. Talking with someone you've just met. Well, I feel like I do that all the time. [laughs] I do that with interviews. I do that with listeners. I do that every day almost, talking to people on the phone all the time for the, for the, uh, to piece their own segment. I feel like I know that skill. I can, I have that skill pretty easily. Listening. I have to listen to people's answers when I interview them or just talk to people, ask them questions about their life. So, sure, I'm a good listener. Managing money? Ugh. I feel like I'm somewhat okay. I save for a couple of days, and then there, there's that one day where I'm like, "You know what? Maybe I, maybe I should treat myself to a nice jacket," something like that, and then end up spending a ton of money that I shouldn't have. Oops. What is one skill everyone should learn? Critical thinking and independent thought. Yep, definitely. Cooking and laundry. Two things I learned too late in life, but I, I know them. Swimming. There's a lot of people that I know that don't know how to swim and it's pretty wild, honestly. Maybe it's because I grew up near the ocean or my parents were like, "Hey, swimming's a necessity. You're gonna have to learn just in case you ever fall out of a boat," or something like that. Fighting? I mean, self-defense more like it
other than fighting. Don't be that guy that just wants to fight people. Sales. Yeah, this list gets pretty boring here, but maybe I should ask this for the Peaches & Thorne, see what, uh, the listeners have to say during the 4:00 PM hour later this afternoon. [graphics whooshing] Okay, so I'm reading something here about a, a specific TikTok video. This creator, Gabby Donahue, shared a video of her dad at a restaurant in Italy attempting to order a chicken parm, not by saying the name but by showing the waiter a photo of the dish on his phone.
Now, here's the thing. Did he attempt to look at the menu? Is the entire menu in Italian?
Could he not just look at the menu and see that chicken parm is not on there? 'Cause I'm assuming most menus have pictures, right? Right? Unless all of a sudden in Italy, a- all their menus are just in text. I wouldn't know. I've never been. But apparently he showed the waiter a Google image of the Olive Garden chicken parm in Italy. This Boston-Irish boomer trying to order a chicken parm at a restaurant in Italy. Wouldn't you want something different?
The waiter takes one look and goes, "Only in the States. It doesn't exist in Italy." D- does chicken p... okay, let's look that up. Does chicken parm actually... or does chicken parm exist in Italy? Oh, it's not a traditional dish. But see, I wouldn't have been that dumb to be like, "Man, I'm really craving a chicken parm. Let's go to some random restaurant and I can just tell the waiter who doesn't speak any English whatsoever..." Maybe he does. Actually, he probably does. He just, it says right there, "Only in the States. It doesn't exist in Italy." So he, he definitely does. Does showing him a picture of a chicken parm demanding that? Did this guy get upset? I don't necessarily wanna watch the video.
[laughs]
Well, I guess, uh, the dad was okay with it. I read further into the story here. He just said, "Okay," and then moved onto something else.
There's your fun fact for the day. Chicken parm does not exist in Italy. Woo-hoo. [graphics whooshing] Peaches Pit Party right here on KBAR 101. I wish I could get her in here to talk about her experience with, uh, concert photography thus far, but, uh, well, Madi, our marketing assistant down the hall, she has not only done a ton of work f- uh, behind the scenes when it comes to a variety of tasks, but recently she has been nonstop with the concert photography, eh, eh, you know, the, the variety of shows that we've had so far here in the area. I mean, Chevelle, Asking Alexandria, Dead Poets Society, she photographed that show, Mudvayne, Static-X, and Vended this past Friday, which I'm looking at the Vended photos that she has ready so far. They look phenomenal. Vended put on a great performance. All those bands did, especially Static-X. They surprised me with how good they are, really. 'Cause, you know, there's a lot of people out there that say, "Well, it's not really Static-X because it's, uh, you know, Edsel Dope, who's the lead singer," and the-
Mm-hmm.
... honestly, I was quite entertained by their, uh, their, their bubbles and all of that stuff. I just got a Google Chat notification. I was telling Madi to potentially come to the studio to talk about [laughing] her, her experience with concert photography, but I don't necessarily wanna bother her. She'll sometimes text me and say things like, "Peach," and then I'll go, "What? What's up?" And she won't say anything, so I just hit her back with, "Madi." And she put, "What?" Maybe I shouldn't reply. Maybe I should just, uh, leave it as that. A taste of her own medicine, huh? But, uh, this Friday, of course, we got In This Moment, Dayseeker, The Funeral Portrait, and dDEAD. That is gonna be one stacked show, and Madi will be in the photo pit. We'll be there as well. It's the final show of the year, really. I feel like it is.
The final show of the area, I should say. I think in November, I'm gonna make my way down to Salt Lake City, go see Set It Off, Fame on Fire, Vanna and The Pretty Wild. I might get... try to get her a photo pit pass for that one as well at The Complex in Salt Lake. Just so you know, if she gets more experience with [laughs] concert photography, make her work more, and then I enjoy the show from the, uh, the pit area, you know? If you wanna go to any show making their way... making its way to the area, check out our concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. [graphics whooshing] As part of our KBAR Rockin' Halloween haunted by Juicy D Vapor, The Haxns, with Godzilla, two Halloweenish tracks every hour, why not play a Halloween-themed music bed
for my, uh, live radio show here for the podcast? You're not gonna hear anything besides me talking directly to you, sorry. It's just the way that it is, you know? Even though I hate that phrase, it is what it is. It applies for this specific situation. Same thing goes for, you know... Oftentimes I talk about how tall I am. I'm not necessarily just tall. I'm also just a wide dude, so I need to go to the big and tall section at some stores, get that 3XL tee for the best fitting T-shirt, 'cause, you k-... I don't really wanna wear a, a, a 3XL, standard 3XL that just sucks and it shows off details nobody wants to see. So my girlfriend and I will go to the, the, the big and tall section at a place like JCPenney, and it was quite sad 'cause we're, we were talking about how, you know, women's clothes are plus-sized. Also today, by the way, it's, uh, National Plus-Size Appreciation Day apparently [laughs], so there's that. But and we were, we were talking about how what would it be like if women's clothing was also big and tall-labeled, you know? We w-... we kinda made that joke saying there would be a lot of offended people, and then we looked at the, uh, the boys' section, and there's a boy's husky size, something that I've never seen before.
And I'm like... I'm just thinking, like, "That's pretty sad," like,
I don't know. I feel like if I... uh, 'cause I, I was that boy that was the husky dude. We didn't have that size back then. I, I feel old saying that, but I don't think there was boy's husky back in the day. I just wore a men's T-shirt. It was just one of those things. [laughs] That, that's basically it. Boy's husky. Uh, what makes the boy's husky size... or what does the boy's husky size mean? Larger, heavier, broader-shouldered boys with a wider fit than standard sizes. I, again, I feel like the old guy saying this, "These kids have it easier. They got... [laughs] they got shirts that fit." Back in my day, I just had to, uh, fit into a size large in... in adults at, like, eight years old. Anyway, fit for a king's shelter here on Peaches Pit Party. [graphics whooshing] So you might as well just change ChatGPT into ConfessionGPT with this one. This 19-year-old college student suspected of vandalizing cars on the campus of Missouri State University finally arrested after he allegedly confessed to the crime in a conversation with ChatGPT. His name's Ryan Shaffer, sophomore at the university, vandalized 17 cars, damaging mirrors, smashing windows, denting hoods. Police reviewed the surveillance footage, suspected Shaffer. Officers paid him a visit, and he denied having anything to do with the crime, but then he gave investigators permission to search his phone, and they were able to determine that he was at the location around the time of the crime. They also discovered that he just went onto ChatGPT and asked several questions, including, "Is there any way they could know it was me?" and, "Will I go to jail?" You gotta be careful. Actually, you know what? Why should I say you gotta be careful? Criminals, be your... b- b- be dumb out there. You know, get caught. Shaffer was arrested, charged with felony property damage. No kidding. That's today's What the Headline right here on KBAR 101. [graphics whooshing] I tried uploading my reaction to Taylor Swift's Wood, you know, one of the songs on the new album The Life of a Showgirl.... Tried uploading it, and immediately was hit with a whole, uh, blocked, uh, blocked, uh, copyright strike, only because, well, I'm assuming it's, it's extra tightly looked at with Taylor Swift. So, I, uh, had to do the whole dispute and fight back, saying, "Hey, it's just commentary on one of her songs. It's not me presenting it as my own. It's me talking about it." I'm hoping I didn't get the Swifties upset. I feel like the most, the most angry fan base I've ever dealt with had to be Seether. With the whole thing about asking them on Reddit what questions should I ask during my interview with Dale of Seether, and I didn't ask a single one of their questions, because it was all about like, "W- why haven't you released the box set? What happened to this?" Blah, blah. It was, it was entirely negative what exactly they were telling me to ask. So, I ignored the, the Reddit users and just asked my questions and then uploaded that interview to the subreddit, and they were all upset saying, "You didn't ask a single question. Why would you even ask us if you didn't do so?" Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I think they gave it a couple dislikes. There was that fan base and then there was the Deftones fan base where I talked about I'm not necessarily the biggest Deftones fan, but I still reacted to their, their, their track. What- what track was it again? My Mind is a Mountain. It was the first track they released in quite some time. Like right as it dropped, I turned on the studio light, recorded the YouTube reaction video. And I said, "I'm not necessarily the biggest Deftones fan." You would have thought I said, "I hate this band," because all the comments were, "Why would you react to something if you don't care for it?" I'm like, "I can do whatever I want. I can react to whatever I want to on our YouTube channel." Hence, why I reacted to Taylor Swift's Wood on the new album, The Life of A Showgirl. But that sh- that video should be out, uh, hopefully soon. Uh, subscribe to our YouTube channel. If you wanna see it, hopefully it will be up there, up there very soon. KBear101RMG. This guy, this Gen Zer, I'm gonna get mad reading this story. This Gen Zer works from home. He's gone viral on TikTok because he shared, uh, the way his employer pretty much tracks his every move during the day. His name's Tim Lee. The company rolled out new time tracking software that takes screenshots every 10 minutes, monitors keystrokes, mouse movement, the URLs he visits, and so, so on and so forth. Even calculates how much time he spends on each tasks, on each task. He calls it pretty dystopian. Says he doesn't feel like his work should be measured by how much time he spends staring at a screen.
He says while he understands the employer's perspective, the whole thing feels more like surveillance than support. No kidding. Could you imagine doing something like a daily recap where you have to log how many minutes you do something
and how many tasks you do in a day? That's just signs of, like, a w- of weak leadership. A terrible employer. An employer that doesn't trust his employees, you know, that type of thing. They just wanna see you be a cog in the machine type thing. Of course, people were horrified by this whole thing. Many urging him to quit ASAP. Well, his TikTok's gone viral. I don't know if he even named the company,
but, uh, I'm- I'm assuming his company is gonna know now, like, "Oh, hey, d- doesn't this guy work for us and he's making fun of our ways? Let's just get rid of him, because he's speaking his mind." Type of thing. I'm hoping this guy can find a better job somewhere else. [upbeat music] Thanks for listening to Peaches Pit Party, the podcast.
