00:00:07,540 --> 00:05:01,740 [Speaker 0]
Did you understand at all what he was saying in that track? The latest from Archspire or Archspire, I forgot exactly how you say that band's name, but yeah, we do play them here [laughs] on K-Bear 101. The reason why I say that is because I- I went onto our TikTok and I see a lot of these different videos that, uh, people mention us in, which is awesome that they're mentioning us in these videos. These videos are overall making fun of radio, and rightfully so. I mean, most rock radio stations, especially, they suck. They play the same old late '90s, early 2000s grunge. It's awful. I- I have shown, uh, Maddy, we- I've taken Maddy from Down The Hallway, along with my girlfriend as well, um, to Salt Lake City for a few shows now and every time we're down in Salt Lake City, we turn on their K-Bear 101 and it's literally the same voice guy and everything, just the music choice absolutely is awful. I mean, it's- it's downright just... You might as well just call it, uh, the- the gr- K-grunge, that's what you should call it. K-grunge 101, it's Stone Temple Pilots, it's Pearl Jam, it's, uh, just... Oh- oh, that Sound Garden, Rage Against The Machine. You might as well call it, "Hey, you wanna listen to early 2000s radio? Here you go. This is the- what happened in the early 2000s and we're gonna play the same five songs from the early 2000s over and over and over again." Anyway, if you wanna get ahold of me, you can over at 208-535-1015. I just saw multiple people mention us, uh, at K-Bear 101 FM on TikTok on videos like that and I wanted to talk about it, especially on a day like today when I- I don't, when I play the new, uh, Archspire in the middle of the day. Like, no other rock radio station is going to play something like that ever, let alone at 2:00 PM on a weekday. Make sure to let your friends know about the right K-Bear 101, us. You know, tell them to download the app if they're out of state. If they're here in the area and they wanna listen to some good music, they want to discover new rock and metal, definitely have them listen to us, you know, 101.5 on the dial as a [laughs] old-fashioned radio DJ would put. A- again, like I mentioned, if you wanna get ahold of me, you can over at 208-535-1015. Peaches Pit Party will return here in just a few. What do I have coming up? Oh, I have some Slipknot that also most other radio stations won't play. I have some Devil Wears Prada as well. Their latest track everybody knows, it's- it's K-Bear 101. The correct K-Bear 101. It's K-Bear 101 and I- I'm still laughing at the whole Seether subreddit drama. These loser moderators in that group ar- are just so funny to me because any single time I mention the Seether subreddit, like, in a podcast title, they're so quick to it. I mean, I feel like they're looking out for Seether more so than the band as a whole. Like, nobody in Seether really cares all that much about themselves [laughs], about the band more so than the moderators in the Seether subreddit. And it's so funny, I was looking at my, um, history on Reddit 'cause you can just do that. I- I'm not really familiar with Reddit, I- I mostly use it to promote the show, promote my interviews, things like that, you know? So, any single time in the past I would do an interview, I would share it in that band's subreddit. So I was looking at my history, I shared my, uh, interview with Shane Told of Silverstein in the Silverstein su- uh, subreddit, everyone in the comments, "This is awesome." "Cool, Shane's a nice guy." "Awesome, glad you shared this." Same thing with, uh, Matty Mullins of Memphis May Fire, I shared my interview with him in the Memphis May Fire subreddit. People were commenting, "How cool Matty Mullins is. Thanks for sharing the interview." Same with Day Seeker, Rory Rodriguez, the- D- Day Seekers audience is full of just, uh, supportive people. You get people in the comments going, "This is awesome. Thank you so much for sharing this interview." And- and then the Seether interview happens and sure enough, those fans in that particular subreddit, oh my God, they suck. They're the worst, the worst possible people. I mean, there was other interviews that I could've- um, that I could've said like, um... What else was there? Nick Nocturnal, the same thing. "Thanks for sharing the interview." "Awesome, cool." And- and the Seether subreddit, I ask them ahead of time any questions that you guys might have as suggestions for what to ask Dale from Seether. I don't ask any single one of their questions, I instead just, you know, ask what I can- ask what I want to ask. I- I chat with Dale for 10 minutes prior to the show in- in Idaho Falls. Sure enough, I share it to their subreddit, "Why didn't you ask a single one of our questions?" They're still upset. I mean, I uploaded, uh, another episode of my podcast from December 3rd 

00:05:01,740 --> 00:11:46,736 [Speaker 0]
onto our YouTube channel and that moderator from that Seether group commented right away saying, "We have the screenshots, why are you still talking about us?" 'Cause you keep trying to fight with me [laughs]. I'm just doing a radio show and this person just keeps making these, like, terrible, dumb comments about me and is so butt-hurt about me making fun of the subreddit. So I'm making fun of them again, you know? R/Seether, don't join [laughs]. This is probably the most publicity they're gonna get, you know? Anyway, let's continue this show here with Greta Van- Greta Van Fleet, Highway Tune, K-Bear 101. I was not ready for Poppy to make a post like this. You know, Poppy is putting out a new record, um, it's called Empty Hands, it's gonna be released on January 23rd. So she posted a picture of herself on her Facebook page with the caption, "Putting out a new record next month," and receiving an onslaught of questions from journalists that are- that are the equivalent of, "You like heavy music?"Name five bands. Then she goes on to say, "Journalism is so toast. I've had better conversations with plants." Usually, she's the type of person to put like a very minimal caption. She doesn't really talk much at all. I mean, you can listen to th- that, that, uh, that interview Victor did with Poppy, um, backstage at the Complex when she, uh, was on her headlining tour, They're All Around Us Tour. Um, she doesn't really say much, and Victor was incredibly nervous [laughs] during that whole interview. He sounds, uh, very shaky during it. You can find that at K-Bear 101 RMG. But I feel like Poppy should all of a sudden just start screaming back at those people that claim she's not metal, that claim that she's just, uh, an industry plant. I've, I've seen some of those comments before. I love seeing those. Everyone just repeats what they've, uh, seen from another person, like, "Oh, that's coworker music." Like that became a thing, uh... This, this whole post. [laughs] I'm glad to see her fighting back. I'm excited for the new Poppy album. Now here's the thing, here's the thing. The few tracks that I've heard, they've kind of, they kind of all sounded the same to me. I'm hoping there's something incredibly heavy and weird on this record, Empty Hands, uh, coming out January 23rd. I have to give a major shout-out to, uh, listener, Terry, in the K-Bear 101 Idaho Rock and Metal Facebook group. Recently, Terry has been sharing a whole bunch of pictures and videos from concerts, um, that was, uh... That were attended by Terry in 2025, and I was thinking about doing the exact same thing, 'cause for some reason, recycled concert footage is doing extremely well on social media. Um, I posted a video... What was it? Last year, when Ice Nine Kills' Avatar TX2, uh, came to town, I posted a video of Spencer doing the whole beheading thing on stage. That got a lot of views on our Instagram. Um, I posted David Draiman of Disturbed getting electrocuted as part of the whole, you know, onstage antic, or antics, I should say. Um, that got a lot of views. Even our... My, uh, Trans-Siberian Orchestra video. Um, though... By the way, that show was awesome. The best show I've ever been to, let alone of 2025. Trans-Siberian Orchestra, so cool. I may be sitting there like going, "Ooh, look at the pretty colors," but [laughs] the, the lights, the pyro, the performance, everything about it was just so cool. Like usually when I go to a concert and I have to sit through like four bands, I get pretty bored, you know? By the third band I'm like, "Okay, can we wrap this up? I wanna go home." The Trans-Siberian Orchestra show, there was no openers, but overall that performance was just like song after song after song. The screen was, the screen was mesmerizing, everything was mesmerizing about that show, and they just put on a fun show. I posted that on our Instagram. That got a lot of views. So I'm thinking about just digging through my camera roll, finding what videos are cool enough to post on our socials at K-Bear 101 FM, try to find some, uh, cool little highlights from each concert that I attended in 2025. I don't know how many I attended this year, but I think there was quite a few. Let's move on. Let's play some, uh, new Shinedown Search Light on K-Bear 101. It's Peaches Pit Party. I saw this news pop up yesterday. 44-year-old Philip Rivers, who happens to have 10 children and one grandkid, is leaving all that family fun to once again play quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts. Rivers has not played in the NFL since his one-year stint with Indianapolis in 2020, but after Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending injury over the weekend, the Colts called and Rivers decided to get back into the game. He was signed to the Colts practice squad and could very well see some on-field action as the team finishes out the year. And I mean, could you imagine a 44-year-old coming out on, on the field? I mean, that's one year older than Victor. One wrong tackle and this guy could get seriously injured. I mean, I, I would just stay retired, you know? You've made a ton of money, you have all those kids you need to watch. Please [laughs] like just enjoy life. Drama continues to swirl around the return of NHL players to the, uh, Winter Olympics. First were the delays in construction of the main arena in Milan, Italy, which is now set to be done on February 2nd, three days before the women's tournament starts. Uh, that was followed by the revelation that the rink size isn't to NHL specifications. Now the league has worries about the arena's ice, which will have to support over 30 games during the Olympics. NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daley, or Daley, said that if the league's, uh, players feel the quality of the ice at the Olympics in Milan is unsafe, then we're not going to play. It's as simple as that. Uh, fights happen in hockey more than any other non-combat sport with players throwing punches at one another for various infractions. With that in mind, The Athletic surveyed NHL players to find out who has the most punchable face in the league. Ottawa Senators center Nick Cousins led all players with 24% of the vote, with one player saying, "I can't stand him. I heard he's a good guy, but I'd still love to just punch him right in the face." Brad Marchand of the Florida Panthers came in second with 20% of the vote, and then Matthew, uh, Tkachuk, is that how you say his na- his last name? T- Tkachuk, Tkachuk, uh, also of the Panthers came in third with 10%. How would you feel if you were Nick Cousins finding out all those other players just wanted to just deck you right in the mouth? I feel like you would be extra feisty throughout the season. That does it for your, uh, Shot Clock Sports Update right here on K-Bear 101. So I came across this thread, "What's the most dangerous thing people do daily without realizing it?" Number one answer, simply driving. Hands down, driving plus some sort of distraction like you're tired, texting, buzzed, angry, et cetera, is just asking for issues. 

00:11:46,736 --> 00:12:22,356 [Speaker 0]
Uh, there, there was a time recently where my friends and I, we were watching car crash compilations, and it is pretty freaky how a car accident can just happen in the blink of an eye and there could be severe consequences, you know? I think one of my other friends sent me another car accident video. A, a Tesla going like crazy o- over the speed limit. Crazily over the speed limit.It goes flying, literally flying down an intersection and crashes into a whole bunch of cars going the other direction. And that person just died. Like, 

00:12:22,356 --> 00:12:28,636 [Speaker 0]
what in the world? What prompted that person to go flying in their Tesla, you know? 

00:12:28,636 --> 00:13:05,096 [Speaker 0]
Someone else for this, uh, thread wrote, "I recently, uh, I recently nearly choked on a small chicken bone, and for the first time in 35 years, I realized that eating is much more dangerous than I thought." There was a time where, I think it was right after baseball practice, it was like a special baseball practice at some sort of college. I was like 13 at the time. We had it at some sort of college field, and sure enough, I get a box of Lemonheads from the snack shack and I just start eating them. I just start, you know, devouring them down. One of those Lemonheads gets caught in my throat 

00:13:05,096 --> 00:14:10,736 [Speaker 0]
and my parents almost had to do the Heimlich on me. It was that bad. And then I realized, yeah, you gotta, like, eat slowly. You can't just devour food. Something like that could happen. You know? There's tons of dangerous things that could happen to you. What's the most dangerous thing people do daily without realizing it? Not having situational awareness. Stop moving around parking lots and sketchy areas while staring at your phone. You won't believe how many dumb people there are out there on the road just texting while driving. I know someone who watches movies while driving, and I really hope they never ever, ever get into a car accident or potentially run somebody over just because they're watching, like, the Minions movie for whatever reason. It's a good thread right here. Let's play some, uh, Mudvayne, Sticks and Stones. It is Peaches Pit Party on K-Bear 101. I found this very interesting, so I figured I would talk about it on the air with you. "To anyone who works at the emergency room, what is one thing you wish people would stop coming to the ER for?" Top response, "Dane, I literally will do anything to not go to the ER." 

00:14:10,795 --> 00:14:56,935 [Speaker 0]
And I'm the same way. I legit want to avoid the emergency room unless I think I might be just dying. There was one time recently where I thought for some reason, I was, uh, overthinking. Oh, surprise, surprise, I was overthinking. Uh, it was shortly after I- I had the whole AFib scare happen to me. I thought I was having, like, a stroke for a second. Like, my right arm went... It didn't go numb. It... Well, actually, it might have, because I was leaning on it a certain way on the counter here to the point where, like, it could've gone numb, but it was because I was leaning on it. So, I thought that was the case. I got really scared, so I basically just drove myself to urgent care, who then said, "Hey, you should go to the ER if you really think you're about to have a stroke." So I went to the ER 

00:14:56,935 --> 00:17:23,996 [Speaker 0]
and they proceeded to, like, almost hold me hostage there for hours upon hours. [laughs] It was bad. I had to lie to get myself out of there. It took forever. They, they let me get an MRI, which that took forever 'cause I had to wait in line, essentially, for... I had to wait behind those people that desperately needed to get an MRI, which made sense, but I didn't expect this, uh, trip to take... to go from 1:00 in the afternoon to, like, 7:00 PM. It was that bad. I, I, I still would've been there, I would say way later into the night, if I didn't make up this lie that I had to go babysit some two-year-old, which obviously wasn't happening. But they, they... I had left my pills in the car. They wouldn't let me grab those. My heart pills that I needed to take. It was awful. And to this day, I'm like, I, I never want to go back there ever, ever, ever again. So, to anyone who works at the ER, what is one thing you wish people would stop coming to the ER for? What else is there on this, uh, thing here? To get a pregnancy test because they don't want... They're, they don't want the embarrassment of buying one. Interesting. Interesting. Children's ER for a common cold but make sure you wait until after the game is over on [laughs] a Sunday night. It wasn't an emergency until after the game, not all day Sunday when urgent care was open. Oh, you gotta love it. When my kid's appendix burst and we were checking into the ER, this horrible couple came barging in, just freaking out and screaming and tried to butt in front of us because their infant had eaten a grape. The baby was showing no signs of distress, but the mom's grandmother was allergic to grapes, so obviously their baby was about to die. [laughs] What, what, what's... There are, there are a lot of silly people. I mean, I, I, I would also make fun of this person for overreacting, but yet again, I just shared how I overreacted and I also ended up getting, like, a medical bill that was like $900 because I got an MRI. Getting an M- Getting an MRI absolutely sucks. We have another case of, "How did that get in there?" Uh, you know that subreddit I've talked about, Untrustworthy Pop-Tarts? Where people say, "Oh, hey, look, I found a frog in my ice cream." And people are like, "Yeah, right, buddy. You put that there, obviously." This one, uh, lady in New York, she's suing Chipotle, this particular one on the Upper East Side, because she ordered a burrito bowl on DoorDash from Chipot- from Chipotle, 

00:17:23,996 --> 00:18:05,576 [Speaker 0]
and apparently took a big bite into it, and sure enough, she bit into a mouse. And I love how the, uh, the New York Post made a joke right off the bat by saying the burrito bowl came with an extra side of squeak. [laughs] No, but this lady is suing Chipotle, and who knows what could come out of it. I mean, how do you evaluate this whole thing? Do you just look at the security camera footage? You look at the exact time that it was ordered and prepped in the kitchen? Do you look at maybe if there was an employee that planted it in there? Or do you think maybe this lady who's 24 years old, her name's Gia Bernhardt, do you think maybe she 

00:18:05,576 --> 00:19:06,712 [Speaker 0]
might've planted a mouse inside her burrito bowl? I mean, it could be true, right? But I don't see why this girl would have a dead mouse. Maybe a mouse died in her apartment?And she's like, "I'm paying $3,000 a month for this studio apartment in New York, and there's a dead mouse in my floor. Maybe I could come up with this elaborate scheme to order a burrito bowl through DoorDash, have it delivered to my place, pretend that I took a big bite out of this mouse, and then sue Chipotle and hopefully win." Well, good luck to this woman. All right? R/untrustworthyPoptarts. I should submit this, uh, this story to that subreddit. [whoosh] I was reading something here about how workers across the country, this national poll reveals 27% of workers prefer dental work over office celebrations as workplace disconnection deepens. 

00:19:06,712 --> 00:20:56,632 [Speaker 0]
People would rather, like, you know, get some serious dental work done, like a root canal than go to maybe, like, their Christmas holiday party. Which, I mean, if you don't necessarily get along with your coworkers, I totally understand it. You know, in the workplace, the... It's, it's kind of like high school. There are cliques. You know? A couple years back, I complained that I didn't want to go [laughs] to the company Christmas party 'cause I knew there would be, uh, a whole bunch of different friend groups gathered around, and then, you know, I'm stuck by myself 'cause I'm... I was still the new guy at the time. But I, I... Do we really need to have an office holiday Christmas party? It's kind of like those pointless pizza parties that instead of getting a raise, you get awarded one of those crummy pizza parties. Like, "Here's a thin slice of pizza, and if you eat too many slices of pizza in front of your coworkers, they'll make fun of you," being like, "Wow, you're... You're going back for a third slice, huh, big fella, huh?" Eh, do you get paid for the party? I hope so. I, I, I'm kind of excited for our Christmas party here this year. I think, uh, Star and Maddy and our big boss man, Kevin, I think they've put in some, uh, some work into this one, and it's gonna be at a great spot. And it's happening, uh, I think, like, this Friday. Like, very early in the day, and then we get the rest of the day off, which is awesome. And a, a nice headstart into the weekend, so... That reminds me, I need to, uh, pre-record my weekend shows, so I'll get that done while this, uh... Well, I'll, I'll get some of that done. M- I, I, I'll probably work on that off the air. No. Uh, I'll, I'll work on that this, this evening for sure. 

00:20:57,612 --> 00:22:23,032 [Speaker 0]
Man, imagine the guitar nerds that show up to this tour. Joe Satriani and Steve Vai announce North American tour with Animals As Leaders. Even Metal Injection says every guitarist now feels worse about [laughs] themselves. Uh, good luck to those that potentially want to go to a concert next year. The reason why I say that is because April, uh, March, April, May, especially April and May, are jam-packed with shows. Like, you'll have to make some sacrifices. You'll have to pick one of the shows in the month of April, and maybe cancel out the other one that you might wanna go to. Only... The only reason why I'm saying that is because there are gonna be so many trips to and from Salt Lake City in the springtime of next year, it is going to be ridiculous. I have been making constant updates to our concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar, and there are still tons of shows. Well, not tons, but a, a couple of shows that I don't have on there as of yet. I need to add those. Uh, I saw Des Rox announced a tour for the early part of next year. That's also taking place in April. Um, who else is there? I mean, there's Bloodywood, Bill Murray, AFI, Klutch, R- Rise Against, Slaughter to Prevail, Lamb of God, uh, Nothing More. Oh, that's, that's, that's in March. Nothing More. 

00:22:23,032 --> 00:22:36,891 [Speaker 0]
So many shows. I'm just, like, looking around on our concert calendar. There's too many. Electric Callboy, April 28th, The Amity Affliction and August Burns Red the next day, Puscifer in May. Oh, f- I forgot Vanna is gonna be 

00:22:36,952 --> 00:25:43,652 [Speaker 0]
in Salt Lake City and Boise in the month of May [sighs]. Oh, boy. Amon Amarth and Dethklok in May. [Laughs] Again, too many shows, too little time. Riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. [whoosh] I, I love a good food fight, I really do. Things went finger licking bad for [laughs] a Florida woman after she was arrested for hitting a friend in the face with a plate of chicken. Jamesha Tashay Wallace and the victim got into a loud verbal dispute last Thursday night, and when the argument turned physical, the assalian, assailant broke out the bird and let it fly. After the chicken was thrown and the situation escalated, deputies say Wallace went upstairs to her apartment and returned holding a kitchen knife. She then allegedly pointed the knife toward the victim and moved it toward her hand, making contact. The victim said she did not want to press charges, but cops say... But cops still filed charges of aggravated battery. Wasn't there, like, a whole other story not that long ago about someone smacking another person in the face with pizza? There was, there's been a whole bunch of crazy stuff. I do like the headline for this one, "Losing a Game of Chicken." [whoosh] So, Odell Beckham Jr. apparently made this bold claim that a $100 million contract isn't as life-changing as people think, and then Carmelo Anthony was like, "Yeah, I agree with you," on a new episode of, uh, Carmelo Anthony's 7PM in Brooklyn podcast. What a weir- [laughs] what a dumb title. The former NBA star... I say dumb, and look at my show name, Peaches Pit Party. The former NBA star broke down why Beckham's comments about the challenges of stretching a five-year $100 million NFL deal made perfect sense to him. Anthony said, "Many fans have no idea how fast that money, how much money, that much money shrinks once taxes, fees, lifestyle adjustments hit." What do you mean lifestyle adjustments? I mean, do you just plan on splurging as much as you can right away? 'Cause obviously you're gonna run outta money that way. You know, the actual rich people, they still live below their means. They don't look like they're trying their best to flex their wealth, you know? Isn't Carmelo Anthony known for going to clubs? That's a waste of money right there. Just chucking your money away. You might as well give me some, if you think 100 million is too... Not that much. Sure, taxes get in the way, but you still have a ton of money afterwards, you know? $100 million, whatever that is. Oh, it becomes closer to 60 million after taxes. Oh, 60 million, such a little amount of money. Poor Carmelo. Poor Odell. [instrumental music] Thanks for listening to Peaches Pit Party, the podcast.
