A replay of Peaches Pit Party which you can hear on KBEAR 101 weekday afternoons 2pm - 7pm MST
It's Peaches here, and this is Peach's Pit Party, the podcast. A lot of puh sounds with that title. A replay of today's full show, which you can hear weekday afternoons live on k Bear 1 zero one. I hope you like what I have to say. And if not, well, then I'm sorry, not sorry.
Enjoy. K Bear 101. Happy Friday, July 19th. It has been a day so far. It's Friday, though.
I'm excited for the weekend, but at the same time, there's been some weird things going on. Of course, I've mentioned on the air before how every single time I try to travel, something goes wrong with the weather, something wrong with the planes themselves, something wrong with my family back at home, something. A week from today, I'll be going home just to spend time with the family, go on a little bit of a vacation, go to the beach for sure and all that fun stuff. What do I see the first thing this morning when I wake up and go on to Facebook? The Microsoft outage causing more than 1,000 flight cancellations here in the US alone, more than 2,600 delays reported according to, FlightAware.
Just some bug that got into the new software up update that then crashed the whole entire system for the whole globe. And, of course, you see people going nuts on Facebook. They're just getting us prepared for the real thing when they shut down everything. The the the tinfoil hat people coming out in full force, just acting nuts. Costco's now selling these apocalypse buckets.
This is just, a there's they're preparing us for something. So stupid. So so stupid. The CrowdStrike CEO had to come out and, release and release a statement on Twitter saying today was not a security or a cyber incident. Our customers remain fully protected.
We understand the gravity of the situation and are deeply sorry for the inconvenience and disruption. Of course, still people going mad on Facebook even after seeing that. That's what they want you to think. Anyway, 208-535-1015 is the number to reach me here. If you're listening live on the, music channel app, the K Bear 1 0 1 app, You're listening through your radio.
I appreciate you joining the show today. Bring me the horizon, the funeral portrait, and more on the way to continue our afternoon here together. I'd even dive further as to how weird this day has been for me. I mean, besides the, whole flight delay thing going on or flight cancellation thing, the whole software crashing or whatever. Luckily, the app, the for my, airline is back up.
I did see my my trip for next week. Next Friday is still on time. Everything's ready to go. But then for some reason, I checked my bank account today. Had a whole charge come back again for a 3rd time.
Had to walk out to my car this morning and close the door, make sure nobody was around, and then yell at the people at my bank for doing making this mistake again. Luckily, they were, this time, nice, and we're like, oh, we're very sorry. We'll get rid of that right away. And then that got resolved. And then as I'm getting back from my lunch break, I eat my food in my car now just to kind of, well, have my privacy, I guess.
And I'm just sitting there watching a YouTube video, eating my chicken nuggets. And this, older couple pulls up next to me, and the lady gets out of the passenger side there. She was totally fine initially, but then she swung the door open even farther. There was no need for her to do that and hit my door and then just gave me this, like, bulldog stare at me for 10 seconds and then walked away. And it's always funny how they say, like, you know, growing up, your grandparents are the ones that say, hey.
Don't stare at people. Be nice. Be polite. But then most of the time, most old people are the the worst ones out in public. Isn't that ironic?
K Bear 101. Again, this is one of those times where I see something and go, man, what would the outrage be like here? Not even in the United States, just here in Idaho. If this were to be a a thing. Thanks to, thanks to new government regulations.
Many cars in Europe are expected to be fitted with AI technology that will limit speeds. Yeah. The politicians get their way. This new gadget can, in some cases, slow the vehicle down if it's exceeding the speed limit, and then it asks the question, that's a bit creepy. Don't you think?
I just think it's more control over there. But if you are one of those people that's going a 100 on the highway, there's no need for you to break the speed limit. You're gonna get pulled over anyway. I get that. But if you're going, like, 82 in an 80 zone and they slow your car down, that's stupid.
Right? My cruise control that I have on my car, I do like, but I also hate it at the same time. Because when I'm traveling on the highway in the right hand lane there and I have the cruise control on, somebody, like, goes in front of me, then my car will purposely slow down because the radar detects that somebody's right there, and it'll it'll slow way down. The people go around me and give me that dirty look like what that old lady did to me when she hit my car door earlier today, just as we're driving by. Sometimes I have to turn the cruise control off and just take back control.
But, you know, to to those freaks on Facebook, the robots are slowly taking over. The last cards were dealt at the Mirage in Vegas. The last hand of cards has been dealt over there, which opened in 1989. 100 of, you know, fans attended the casino's closing ceremony on Wednesday yesterday. Not yesterday.
Wednesday. Just Wednesday. And watched its, iconic volcano erupt for the final time. A 137 Mirage employees have been with the 3,044 room hotel from the, very beginning. Wow.
That is crazy. So Jim Allen, the new property owner, plans to turn the location into the, Hard Rock Las Vegas, which I think is cool. Right? The new structure will be in the shape of a guitar scheduled to open in 2027. I think I was hearing more about that.
I think there was supposed to be, like, elevators up the, neck of the guitar. It's supposed to be a very unique looking building. I'm excited for it, but I also feel feel bad for those employees. Hopefully, they can find a new job soon. I know Vegas was probably extra crazy.
I mean, can you imagine trying to travel to Vegas during the time that wasn't Biden supposed to show up there? Imagine showing up to Vegas with that going on, plus the whole outage that happened. Oh, it would be a nightmare. This right here is your Shot Clock sports update. It looks like Russell Westbrook is on the move again.
The Los Angeles Clippers traded Westbrook to the Utah Jazz for salary cap reasons. The Jazz are expected to wave Westbrook again, and reports are swirling that he'll sign with the Denver Nuggets. When that happens, the Nuggets will be Westbrook's 5th team as he's already played for the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Houston Rockets, the Washington Wizards, and, of course, the LA Lakers. Tiger Woods struggled in the first round of the open championship yesterday, shooting an 8 over 79 and is in danger of missing the cut in a 3rd straight major for only the second time in his career. If he can't turn things around, today, Woods, who has won this tournament three times, will not be playing Saturday or Sunday.
And this is my favorite part right here. Mark it on your calendar. ESPN 8, the Ocho, will be returning for 4 days starting August 1st with 54 hours of content across ESPN, ESPN 2, as well as ESPN social and digital channels. Some of the sports and events will include, Papa Shot, Major League Paintball, the, National Havoc Robot League where robots fight each other. I don't know what this is.
The 3 Rivers Waitr waitress competition. That sounds pretty interesting. The 2023 World Jump Rope Championships, and then you also got Ultimate Tire Wrestling. That sounds awesome. I will definitely be putting that on my calendar.
Put a reminder on my phone. As a matter of fact, right now, that does it for your shot clock sports update right here on k barrel 101. All I can say is never give up on your dreams. This 36 year old man named Teng, he's been trying to get into China's top university since 2009. He's known as China's most stubborn man.
He has taken the national college admission exam 16 times in his quest to score highly enough to attend Tsinghua University. I believe that's how you say it. While his score has improved, he has still not ranked highly enough, but he may finally be ready to pursue different goals at another school. He thinks that getting into the country's top prestigious university is a great success helping to, open up a good life, but life has many ways to be successful, a director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute in China said. I I feel like once you've taken the test, like, 3 times, maybe it's time to give it up.
Maybe. But then also, there is that mantra to not give up on your dreams. I mean, you should know the answers by now. It's been 16 years, and you've taken this exam how many times and you still don't know what's on it? You're kinda dumb.
Uh-oh. A TikToker going after Tropicana. They're accusing Tropicana of shrinkflation. They did this whole analysis about how that the, that a new Tropicana apple juice bottle contains 1 ounce less juice than the previous bottle. Woah.
She claims that the, old bottle contained 12 ounces while the new redesigned bottle's only 11 ounces. That's how they get you. That new cooler looking bottle that holds less fluid for the same price. The price hasn't changed yet. See right there.
And then the girl also goes on to say, you also owe me 17¢ or 1 apple or 1 ounce of apple juice. I need all 12 ounces of apple juice. Don't charge me $1.99 for 12 ounces now, so $1.99 for 11 ounces. That's not how things work. What is Tropicana gonna do?
I I definitely want an update on this situation here. I heard Victor talking about this this morning about how there's this town in Massachusetts that's expected to spend upwards of $20 cleaning a public pool after somebody, just one person broke a glass jar of salsa in it. I'm sure it was some tipsy lame person that just went, woah. Oopsie. And then walked away.
That's all that that's I've seen that happen many times. Just that one lame person that has the shaky arms that for some reason just chucked it into the pool, and now the pool needs to be closed down, and, obviously, a lot of money spent by the town to clean it up. I mean, glass shards on the bottom of the pool. Ugh. Pools are pools are great and all.
Like, imagine going on a a nice hot summer day. You wanna go to the pool. Next thing you know, someone ruins the pool party by breaking a glass jar of salsa. Alright. Everybody out.
Oh, you know, it is July. There's always that classic thing about Christmas in July, and some stores are even putting out their Halloween decorations already. Well, Home Depot knew to drop this one early because it's probably gonna be gone pretty quickly, considering how popular they've gotten. These, 12 foot tall skeletons that you've seen, Skelly, he's in stores now. And according to the company, Skelly will still have piercing blue Lifes and will be priced at $300, the same price point as last year.
So that's great. There's no shrinkflation with Skelly the skeleton. If you want 1 in your yard this year, you better act now. I mean, if you wanna join that coveted 12 foot tall skeleton owners Facebook group and then brag about how you still have that, how you have it up, and then you're gonna keep it up all year long, put it into a nice pilgrim outfit for Thanksgiving, then dress it up as Santa for Christmas the month after, then give it a nice party hat and one of those, like, you know, blowy things for your party for New Year's. Just keep it rolling.
Give it a give it some wings and a couple giant arrows and a bow. Have it dress up as a dead cupid for Valentine's Day. Like, you can just keep it up all year long. More people my age are meeting on dating apps. Before, dating online was, like, made fun of, at least from what it seemed like.
Right? Well, now Gen z is like, hey. We wanna get rid of the dating apps, and we prefer meeting our matches at weird, odd hot spots like funerals. Yeah. Rather than scrolling through Hinge, Bumble, and Tinder, 20 somethings are hoping to score, score that perfect someone in more unconventional settings such as virtual reality protests and funerals.
I can't tell which one's worse. Oh, let let's protest climate change, and magically, the rest is history. 5 or 6 years later, they get engaged, that type of thing. Maybe even, grandma's funeral is the reason why you met the love of your life. That's a little weird to say.
Right? At least it is for me. I like how there's a label with this grocery store tourism is trending on TikTok. It's essentially, hey. When you go to a new area, buy stuff that's unique to that area.
Doesn't matter if you're going from Idaho to Utah or anywhere else in the world. You just wanna buy cool new foods and share them on TikTok, I guess. Grocery store, tourism grocery store travel. I've been doing that for quite some time. Every time I go down to Salt Lake City or even Boise, I go to Trader Joe's, get a nice big haul of groceries, bring them back.
I still have that aloe vera juice that I got from Trader Joe's. Man, is that stuff awful? There's a whole gallon of it. Supposed to be good for you, but, I don't know how I feel about drinking that every day. I don't know if that's gonna really benefit me all that much.
This right here is today's what the headline. So a Texas man who first appeared in the news back in April when he legally changed his name to literally anybody else and then announced he's running for president is still taking his candidacy seriously and asking for ride in votes. Mister Else, he's 35 years old, so he barely makes the cut. You have to be at least 35 to run for president. He's a middle school math teacher and a military vet formerly known as Dustin Eby.
Says he changed his name to, protest presidential politics. And because he doesn't like any of the options in this year's election, he has failed to get his name on the ballot in Texas because he fell short of of the, a 113,000 signatures required by the Texas secretary of state, so he has launched a write in vote campaign. Sure. Go for him. Don't don't take my advice.
See what his policies are all about. He he could be named literally anybody else, but then you go look at what he wants to do, and it's just awful. K Bear 1 0 1, I have Jake, not from State Farm, calling in. Now, Jake, this is a a very dire survey that I'm glad was done. This is dire knowledge, I should say.
Pepperoni is still the most popular pizza topping. Can you believe that? Yes. Yes. I can.
I mean, can you imagine going to a party and they only have, like, pineapple and mushroom pizza? I would walk straight out there. No nobody agrees on any pizza topping unless you just choose pepperoni and or cheese. That's about it. There's no need for, any weird topping on it.
I mean, I I myself like the supreme pizzas with, like, the the veggies and different meats and such. The more the the more the better, but pepperoni, I'll still I'll still eat too. It's just boring. Oh, always be in my heart, but I'm also like a chicken bacon ranch kinda guy too. That's some good stuff right there.
Yeah. The guy who started California Pizza Kitchen, he was a a student of Wolfgang Puck and then basically discovered that you could have a barbecue chicken pizza and then started a restaurant with that. And he's the guy who created the barbecue chicken pizza, which is by far my favorite pizza. That's my wife's favorite. And, I don't know.
It's real iffy with me. People too put put too many onions on it. I can't do it with barbecue sauce. Oh, alright. Well, what do you what's your, feeling on crust?
Do you want regular crust? Do you want thin crust? I like like a garlic crusted crust. So like Domino's has. You know, it's what I'm talking about?
Yeah. Yeah. Like a New York style kinda? It's good. I mean, it's not, it's not like the stuffed crust.
Like, stuffed crust is elite to me, but thin crust is awful. I I feel like you might as well just go out and eat a stick. It's just that bad. Nice about, like, stuffed crust is, like, that's what we grew up with. Because pizza is already fattening enough.
Can you imagine just, like, alright. Let's, let's make pizza crust stuffed now with cheese. I love stuffed crust. It's great. It's great.
Didn't one place have, like, a Are you eating some right now? I can't have any food in the studio. Otherwise, I would. Oh. Time for to peach their own I forgot the exact wording to this question.
Let me go ahead and pull it back up again. It's overall, what due to experience do you know not to mess with? Of course, we gotta make sure we keep it radio friendly here. I saw some people multiple people putting electric fences. I did see alcohol from somebody, which is awesome.
Glad they're off of it. 208-535-1015. What due to experience do you know not to mess with? Let me know your answer right now for the peach throne. I'll get you live on the air here in just a few.
Hey, K Bear. How's it going? Good. D batteries. What what was that?
You said car batteries? No. D batteries. The phone's cutting out. What'd you say?
D batteries? And what was the reason why? The d batteries. Yeah. When you stick your tongue to them.
No no need to say anything any or don't no need to say anymore. I already already know the story about it. Exactly. K, Bear. How's it going?
Good. Hey. Yeah. Don't mess with bees. Hey.
That's something I used to do as a kid is I would put, like, a bee inside a Doritos bag, then shake it up, and then release it, and then the last person to leave, 1. That's that's horrible, dude. Stupid elementary school kid times. That's what I gotta say about that. 208-535-1015.
What do to experience do you know not to mess with? Hey, K Bear. What what's up? Pleasures. How's it going?
Bees, man. Bees. Bees. Bees. Another person said bees right before you.
Oh, really? Yeah. No. I'm deathly allergic to them. I have carry an EpiPen with me all the time, plus I have to carry a cooler in my car with 2 more EpiPens.
Wow. That must that's awful. So if he gets stung, it's pretty much just a whole horrible experience. Yeah. The last time I got stung, I was in the hospital and out for 3 days.
Wow. Well, I'm glad you're still here. Glad glad everything's okay now. Thanks for listening to Peach's Pit Party, the podcast. If you enjoy the show, please share, subscribe, and rate the podcast.
