00:00:00,080 --> 00:21:33,452 [Speaker 0]
[upbeat music] Brand new music from August Burns Red, Behemoth, as my pick of the day today. I love Fridays, especially Fridays like today, where there's a whole bunch of new music. There's, um, a giveaway that just started with us here with Brent Gordon Law, Make the Switch, where we're giving away, once again, a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle. All you have to do is listen out for that Mario sounder. When you hear it, be caller twenty at two oh eight five three five one oh one five. You'll score an entry that way into the drawing, and also, you can just simply sign up in the apps right now, once per app, once in the KBEAR app, once on the ALT app, once on the Cannonball one oh one app. That'll get you three entries into the drawing just by filling out the form, and then you can keep stacking those entries when you hear the Mario sounder. You could continue to be caller twenty for the next two weeks, stack up all of those entries, and potentially win that Nintendo Switch 2 bundle. You know, unfortunately, on Sunday, March eighth at two AM, we spring forward an hour, which, a- again, I still don't know, don't know why exactly we do that crap, but we're here to make the time change a tad bit easier for one lucky listener. Also, thanks to Brent Gordon Law for helping us make the switch once more. Very excited also for this weekend. It's gonna be a three-day weekend for me. Monday, gonna be my day to just come back with my girlfriend from Salt Lake City, um, and enjoy, uh, a nice four-day week after that. I always, I always think a four-day workweek should be the new norm, all right? Schools are doing it. Businesses internationally are doing it. Why aren't we? Work Tuesday through Friday, keep weekends to three days. That way, there's more of a break. Oh, it'd be... It would be so great. If you want to get a hold of me, you can, over at two oh eight five three five one oh one five. I'm very excited for this Sunday. The reason why I have a three-day weekend is because of Bad Omens, Beartooth, and President at the Delta Center. I'm hoping to go to the pop-up store prior to the show. I'll see how ridiculous those prices are. I'm not just placing the blame on Bad Omens. I'm overall placing the blame on this, uh, terrible economy [chuckles] and how and why merch needs to be so expensive for bands to stay afloat. I was just talking to the creator of the, the Facebook page, Deathcore Specialists. I was interviewing him via Zoom, chatting with him a- about content creation, about, uh, deathcore specifically, about, um, what it takes for bands to earn money, to, like, that metalcore money, even. There's that whole joke that metal bands don't make anything because, well, yeah, it's tough to be in a band. It's tough to make music, make money off of that. Shout-out to those that can and will continue to do so. I mean, Bad Omens, they're one of the more successful bands out there, so yeah, the pop-up store, I'll, I'll check it out. If I don't see anything worthwhile, uh, I'll just maybe save my money and instead worry about paying all that money for, for gas to get to Salt Lake City, for a Trader Joe's grocery trip, maybe even a Double-Double from In-N-Out. You know, I had to buy the Airbnb. There's no way I'm gonna try to drive back the night of and try making it to work on Monday. So yeah, I'm taking Monday off next week, a nice three-day weekend. I know. Oh, good for you, Peaches. Anyway, we'll talk about some other random crap throughout this afternoon, and I'm hoping to get that interview with, uh, Dagen Wood, the, uh, cr- the content creator known as Deathcore Specialists on Facebook. I'm hoping to get that interview up on our YouTube at KBEAR one oh one RMG. [whooshing] I've mentioned it on the program a few times that I haven't been to Vegas since I was, like, eight or nine years old, so it's been twenty years since I've been to Las Vegas, and I, I'm reading something here about how they're dealing with this, uh, major decline in the number of visitors. Like, weekends, they're still bustling, but the Las Vegas Strip looks a l- a lot different from Monday to Thursday, with plenty of open parking, plenty of room to move around. It's something to, uh, keep an eye on if you're interested in visiting. Hotels there are offering deals and discounts, especially on weekdays, to attract new visitors, so I feel like that's maybe the perfect excuse to just take a few days off from work, go to Las Vegas, and go maybe check out a tour, a show, that's not making its way over to this area, Salt Lake City, Boise, East Idaho, uh, even Denver, Bozeman, you know? Go, go see a show in Las Vegas, maybe even at the Sphere. You know, that would be pretty cool. I know Tool has been in talks w- to have a residency at the Sphere, and I know how expensive that would be, but everything else being cheaper, I feel like that would be somewhat better, even though Tool's prices might still be way extremely high. But still, overall, maybe catch a show in Las Vegas. I would love to. I might need to text Aubrey right now and be like, "Hey, you wanna go to Vegas?" Oh, no, she just, she just started a new job, so she doesn't have any PTO yet, but, uh, once she does, we'll, we'll plan that trip to Vegas. Let's do some Nine Inch Nails, As Alive As You Need Me To Be on Peaches Pit Party. [whooshing] I had the slightest bit of hope that Steve Perry would join Journey. I don't care if I get made fun of for liking that band. That band is my, my mom's favorite band of all time, loves Journey, and I would have easily have, uh, flown back to California to go watch them with her, join the other middle-aged women watching Journey with my, uh, ph- phone flashlight in the air, waving it to Faithfully. Unfortunately, Steve Perry, he, he is not returning to Journey. I had the slightest hope that he would for the, uh, forthcoming Final Frontier Tour after Jonathan Cain said in an interview that Neal Schon, the guitarist, asked Steve Perry to join them, and he, quote, "Didn't say no." Perry then issued a statement saying it won't happen. He writes, "I've been hearing these recent rumors, and I wanted to speak to you all directly. While I'm always grateful for the love people still have for Journey, the rumors about me rejoining the band are simply not true, and I want to gently put them to rest." He also goes on to say, "I completely understand why people would hope for that. The music we created together means a great deal to me, too, but I'm continuing to explore new creative work and really enjoy working on new music that reflects where I am today." Sounds like a lot of-... garbage. [laughs] oh, just join the band, Steve. Come on why not? I mean, how old is Steve Perry now? I, I, I need to know this, because I think he's probably close to eighty. Seventy-seven years old. Come on, you barely have time left [laughs] just please grace us with one last Journey show. Maybe he's not doing it because he just can't do it anymore and doesn't want to disappoint the Journey fan base for that being the final hurrah, where he tries doing Don't Stop Believin', and it sounds like me trying to do, like, bar karaoke. [whooshing] I saw this, uh, news story last night about how the, uh, the grandson of the guy who invented Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, he's publicly calling out the Hershey Company. His name is Brad Reese. Says he thinks Hershey has been quietly swapping out the classic ingredients, like milk chocolate and real peanut butter, for cheaper alternatives in some products, and he says the changes have hurt the quality and the taste of the candy people grew up with. He even called one of the newer versions "not edible." Hershey's response, they're saying the original Peanut Butter Cups themselves still made the exact same way they have always been, and that recipe changes are mostly in newer variations and innovations, not the classic cup. So the debate now is basically a fam- family member saying the candy's been compromised, and the company say, is saying the original hasn't exactly changed. Have you seen, have you seen the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Heart? Not the chocolate ones. I think it's, like, a strawberry [laughs] Reese's. Uh, is it strawberry Reese's? They, they released this Re- Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Heart thing, and if you flip it upside down, it kind of looks like something else. Anyway, here's Ice Nine Kills, "The Laugh Track." [whooshing] The US women's hockey team won the twenty twenty-six Winter Olympics gold medal by defeating Canada two to one in overtime. The team was dominant during their Olympic run, going seven and... seven-nothing, seven-zero, and outscoring opponents thirty-three to two. There was a big, loud cheer yesterday afternoon, and when I walked down the hall, it was, uh, Justin watching the final moments of that hockey game in the 105, the Hawk studio. The NBA plans to make an- anti-tanking rule changes for next season. The new rules will mostly affect the draft lottery and will hopefully remove the incentive for teams to lose games on purpose with the goal of getting higher draft picks. During his All-Star Weekend news conference, the commissioner, Adam Silver, said that tanking has been worse this year than we've ever seen- than we've seen in recent memory and is now clearly doing something about it. Some college basketball players are now featured in the Season Five update of NBA 2K, as the games include current and former, uh, men's and women's players from sixteen schools in the My Team and My Career modes. Be on the lookout for players like, uh, Cameron Boozer from Duke's men's team and UCLA women's player Lauren Betts, along with alumni players like Kevin Durant from his time at Texas and Paige, is it Bueckers or Bueckers, during her time at UConn. One final theme here in the world of pro football. As the Chicago Bears try to get a new stadium built, politicians in Indiana continue to make moves and offers to convince the Bears to build that stadium in their state, in their state! The politicians are currently putting together a deal that would result in a domed stadium being built near the Wolf Lake area in Hammond, Indiana. We'll see if the politicians in Illinois step up with something better or if the Bears will be playing their games across the border in a few years. That does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on KBEAR one-o-one. [whooshing] Peaches Pip Party right here on KBEAR one-o-one. This could have been a qualifier for today's What the Headline. Police in Italy are looking for a guy accused of training his dog to illegally dump trash so he wouldn't get caught on surveillance [chuckles] cameras. Security footage shows this dog casually walking down the street, carrying a garbage bag in its mouth, dropping it off on the roadside, and then heading back to its owner, who stayed out of camera view. Authorities say the dog was cl- clearly trained to do it so the human wouldn't be filmed dumping the trash himself. Officials basically summed it up perfectly, saying, "Creativity is not an excuse for being lazy and trashing the city." Again, why was this guy so adamant about putting his trash on the roadside? I, I don't know. [laughs] Uh, honestly, imagine explaining this when you get caught. "So, sir, why is your dog committing environmental crimes?" Uh, the wild part is the plan almost worked until cameras caught the world's most suspiciously helpful dog making repeat deliveries. So now, somewhere in Sicily, there's a very confused dog that thought it had a job and a guy realizing he probably should have just taken the trash out, uh, normally to stay out of trouble. That's all you need to do. Anyway, it's Electric Callboy now with "Tans Need." [whooshing] So there's this new study people are talking about that tries to explain why ice is slippery, something most of us take for granted every winter when we're trying not to face plant on a patch of sidewalk, right? You've probably heard the old line that ice is slippery because it has a thin layer of water on the surface, but this new research suggests it's not a p- not just a passive layer. It forms be- uh, when pressure and movement interact at the surface, the ice actually reorganizes itself in a way that makes that slippery, uh, layer appear. Essentially, the scientists are saying that as a skate blade, tire, or shoe presses and move, moves across the ice, the surface molecules behave differently than they do deeper down, creating that slick... s- that, that sick layer that makes you fall on your butt. So yes, there's now a whole physics explanation for something we've all just accepted since grade school, and researchers are actually trying to pin down the molecular details of it. Your travel tip: still wear good shoes on ice, okay? Don't be like me and fall and completely eat crap in a, in a Walmart parking lot. I, this, that's one of the many reasons why I hate winter. Freaks me out. I, I slip on an ice patch, especially with me being as big as I am, and m- some people know what I look like. Most people know what I look like. I'm the giant dude, you know? They're gonna see me fall and laugh at me, and it's gonna be like, uh...... I don't know, high school all over again? I should have included this in the Shot Clock Sports Update. This might be the most unnecessary delay in NFL history. Construction on the new Buffalo Bills stadium actually got paused because someone went inside and vandalized parts of the, uh, the building, including luxury suites, with explicit graffiti. That's about as far as I'm gonna go with saying it, but yeah, somebody really looked at a multi-billion dollar stadium project and thought, "You know what this place needs? E-exactly that." Officials say the damage is around $150,000, and now about 300 workers are being interviewed because the graffiti showed up in secured areas, which means whoever did it likely had authorized access. There's even a $100,000 reward being offered to the figure who did it. So imagine being the person responsible for delaying an entire NFL stadium build because you decided to act like a middle schooler w-w-with a spray can. Somewhere, there's a construction manager explaining to executives that, yes, the project is behind schedule, and it was not because of engineering problems, just some immature worker, of course. I'll be honest here. Stories like this always reinforce something I've never really understood about frats and sororities. From the outside, it just looks like a lot of partying, not a lot of sleep, decisions that sound fun in the moment, but, but m- but they make absolutely no sense when you explain them later. And I, I know people will say it's about brotherhood, networking, lifelong friendships, and sure, that probably exists for some people, but every time one of these headlines pops up, it feels like the same pattern. Someone pushes things too far trying to prove, uh, loyalty to a group that realistically stops mattering the second graduation happens. Because once you're out in the real world, nobody at a job interview is leaning forward, going, "Wait, you were an Omega Alpha something? Say no more. You're hired." Right? Like, most employers can care whether you showed up, worked hard, didn't make decisions that ended up on police body cam footage. What I'm talking about is this, uh, article that's popped up. It's popped up on my Instagram Reel feed. It's popped up everywhere about, uh, this, this police body cam footage of about, like, 56 dudes in a, uh, basement, blindfolded, standing silently, many of them shirtless, covered i- in food, with alcohol. It's really weird how when the cop is asking the, the question in the beginning, nobody moves, nobody really does anything. They just stand still. The officers are basically standing there trying to figure out what they just walked into while nobody's, uh, talking, nobody's moving. The whole thing looks incredibly uncomfortable for everybody. The frat ended up suspended until at least 2029 after the investigation, which tells you how seriously the school took it. I- it's quite weird how hazing needs to happen. I just never got the appeal of frats and sororities, but if joining something requires... I, I, I feel like if joining something requires blindfolds, humiliation, or explaining yourself to law enforcement, that might be a sign college priorities got a little sideways, you know? [chuckles] Let, let's play some Catch Your Breath Dark. I would say viral animal stories happen, like, maybe two to three times a year. We had the whole Harambe thing. We've had plenty of animals go viral in the news, and sure enough, the latest one to do so is this lonely monkey named Punch. That's a horrible name for a lonely monkey. Uh, this poor guy, he's been just by himself, and zookeepers gave him a plushie to sort of cope with not having any friends whatsoever. Kind of sounds like me in high school. But, uh, [chuckles] I saw this horrible story that I should not be laughing at, that Punch got punched or thrown by one of the adult monkeys earlier today, but there has since been an update that Punch has now been hugged and groomed by older members of the troop. Zoo staff previously gave him a plush toy for that comfort when he struggled to fit in with the other macaque monkeys. He's, he's an adorable little guy. I mean, macaque monkeys, uh, they can be pretty dangerous, couldn't they? Uh, Punch, little guy, feel bad for the dude. Punch needs a pal. There we go. Start that series, whatever zoo he is at. We've all heard of people complaining at restaurants, trying to get something taken off the bill, but this might be the most committed attempt yet. This steakhouse in Australia is accusing a customer of literally putting armpit hair on their food in an attempt to get a free $600 meal. The restaurant says the customer ordered the expensive steak, then allegedly dropped hair from under their arm onto the plate, complained about it, hoping to get the meal comped. The owner shared CCTV, uh, and, and photos online, calling the whole thing a pathetic attempt at a refund. And yeah, if you're gonna try to, try to scam somebody, put your own hair on a dish, ranked among the most expensive steaks on the menu, that might be a questionable strategy. You should have gotten something that was, like, mid-tier on the menu at best, not the most expensive thing. A- and if... maybe if you even see a camera, 'cause it's pretty easy to spot cameras in a restaurant, right? Uh, that's what I would think. Uh, just overall stupidity, genius of the day material right there. Let's play some Chevelle, Pale Horse on KBEAR 101. Today's What the Headline Pro- approves. Arguments about cleaning the house can apparently escalate way faster than anyone expects. We get ourselves another Florida story here. In Clearwater, uh, police showed up to a domestic dispute and found pickles and pickle juice all over an apartment, along with a guy holding his head after getting hit with a jar of pickles. Deputies say the couple started arguing about how clean the home was, and then during the fight, she allegedly launched the pickle jar at him. They've been together six years, share a two-year-old kid, and now the situation has turned into a felony aggravated assault charge. She was arrested, later released, and a judge ordered her to stay away from him.... although she is allowed one supervised visit to grab her belongings, which may or may not include whatever, uh, pickles, uh, survived the incident. That's today's What the Headline right here on K-Bear 101. [whooshing] Earlier this morning at 10:00 a.m., we announced we're giving away once again a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle. The time change is unfortunately coming up. Daylight saving time, not savings time, daylight saving time is happening Sunday, March 8th at 2:00 a.m., where we spring forward. You know, they try making it all pretty sounding, you know, spring forward! No, it's really just losing an hour of sleep, and one lucky listener is going to win that Nintendo Switch 2 bundle. Thanks to Brent Gordon Law. Shout out to them for helping us out again this time. Uh, make the switch. All you have to do is sign up within the apps, once on the K-Bear app, once on the Alt app, and once on the Cannonball app, and right there, you have three entries. And then starting on Monday, listen for the Mario sounder, be caller 20 when you hear it at 208-535-1015, and you can keep stacking entries that way. You can keep being caller 20 and make it a whole lot better for you to try to win that Nintendo Switch 2 bundle. Again, all thanks to Brent Gordon Law helping us make the switch. Let's do some Sleep Token now. It is Emergence on K-Bear 101. [whooshing] K-Bear 101, I hate to say it, but I haven't been to the dentist in quite a long time, and after reading this, I, I feel like I, I should not go for the foreseeable future. A, a dentist in Texas facing a felony charge after police say she was intoxicated while performing a procedure on a child at a ped- pediatric dental office. Staff members reportedly became concerned during [chuckles] the appointment, and a dental technician actually stepped in and stopped the procedure mid-treatment because something didn't seem right. Was she that obvious about it? [chuckles] "I'm gonna do this here now, okay?" [chuckles] The child's father called 911. Officers arrived. Police say they observed signs of impairment and arrested the dentist after a sobriety test. She denies the allegations, and her attorney says pending blood test results will show no drugs or alcohol were involved, and I, I somehow think they're gonna be incorrect, right? The, the part that stands out here is that someone on staff trusted their instincts enough to stop everything. That probably prevented a situation from becoming much, much worse. [whooshing] See, if I was doing To Peach Their Own today, I would ask this question, but I'm also slightly afraid I'd get a whole bunch of just really immature answers that I'd have to delete because, you know, rules are rules in the K-Bear 101 Idaho Rock Middle Facebook group. I still love this question, though: What's your favorite "I deserve this" purchase under $25, and how often do you make that purchase? You know, I would get the sa- the same old, like, "Beer, your mom, take that, Peaches, [chuckles]" You know, that, those, that... But what about, like, fancy coffee you didn't, absolutely didn't need, or, like, energy drinks in bulk after a, a rough work week? Sometimes I crave those old energy drinks. I hear people in this building obsess over Red Bull all the time. It makes me miss it, but at the same time, I'm glad I don't drink those anymore. It's been now three years since I've, I've, have had... Almost three years, actually. It's been two and, like, a quarter 

00:21:33,452 --> 00:22:33,472 [Speaker 0]
since I've, uh, last had an energy drink before the whole AFib heart thing happened, you know, that type of thing. A, a breakfast burrito reward after surviving the morning. You know, I've got, I've, I've gotten this, uh, I've developed this horrible tradition of waking up Sunday morning and trying to get to McDonald's before 10:30 so I can just have a Big Breakfast of theirs. I know, again, that's not gonna help my heart out in any way, shape, or form, 'cause it's McDonald's and it's fast food [chuckles], but still, it's, like, once a week. I'll probably tone it down, probably do it once every two weeks, so yeah, there's that. Anyway, um, let's head towards the, uh, 5:00 p.m. hour with some Bill Murray. It's Twice on K-Bear 101.
