Well, here we are. It's Monday, 03/17/2025, better known as Saint Patrick's Day. It feels like I was just here for the noon hour of madness and mayhem. Victor had a blast yesterday from what it looks like at the, Poppy Show in Salt Lake City at the complex. Same with a bunch of our listeners.

Shout out to, loyal listener Vortex for getting footage of Victor on stage doing his little stage announcement. A huge thank you to Poppy and her people as well for allowing for Victor to even be on the stage. You know, 200 miles away from where we broadcast, Victor also interviewed her, so I'm excited to hear how that went for the, two of them. I know he was, very excited not only to see her live, but to do that as well. I'm sure that's awesome.

I mean, it's really, really cool. I'm sure he'll play that whole interview on tomorrow's morning show. Saint Patrick's Day used to be so much fun as a kid. Now it's barely a holiday, at least to me. I was listening to a morning show that broadcasts in Los Angeles, and they have two of their DJs, I feel weird even saying this, butt chug a variety of beers.

Something I couldn't imagine posting on social media here. How much trouble we'd get in if we were actually to do something like that would be through the roof. If you're planning to drink, celebrate Saint Patrick's Day tonight, make sure to get a ride. Don't be that dumb you know what who decides to to drink and drive, potentially get into a wreck, injuring, or even worse, killing yourself and or others. I remember Saint Patrick's Day back in elementary school when almost all holidays were actually celebrated in a fun way for the kids.

You know? We'd get back from recess or lunch, and we'd see the room was just completely trashed. And the teacher would say something like, oh, the leprechaun came in, destroyed the place, but it looks like he left, gold coins, aka chocolate, everywhere. I think one year, we had green milk and those, store bought four leaf clover cookies. At my parents' house, we would hunt down all the, chocolate gold coins around the house.

I should just get myself a pack of those, chocolate coins, put them in the ice cream that I got from Culver's last night, celebrate the holiday that way. Right? I had the corned beef and cabbage over the weekend, Bought that meal kit from Grocery Outlet. Surprisingly, did really well with preparing it. By that, I mean, doing following the directions on the on the package there and put it in the, Instant Pot.

The meat slash stew option for thirty five minutes turned out spectacular. That was good. I had the leftovers yesterday. Enough of my chitchat here. If you wanna get a hold of me, you can call me up at (208) 535-1015 We'll be right back here on K Bear 101.

So we have started another concert ticket giveaway. If you missed out on your opportunity last week to win tickets to go see Seether, POD, and Nonpoint at the Mountain America Center on Sunday, May 18, well, you can win tickets to go see Papa Roach rise against and under oath at the Maverick Center coming up here soon, as a matter of fact, on April 3, which I believe let me see what day of the week is that. Let me get my cursor on the calendar. Where is the cursor even at? There it is.

April 3. When is that? That's a, Thursday. I mean, you can have an extended weekend. Go to Salt Lake.

Go see the show. I don't know. Spend the Friday Salt Lake City again. Drive back that day. Whatever you wanna do.

But we're giving away tickets to that show, and we're not doing it just by having you sign up through the app. I mean, you could sign up through the app as a little bonus entry into the contest because we are gonna set some tickets aside for for people who sign up within the, Kay Bear alt and Cannonball apps. If you sign up within all three, those are your three entries into the drawing for those tickets. But we're primarily giving these tickets away on the air. And the way that we're gonna do it, if you haven't heard the promo, if you haven't really paid attention, if you've if you've been busy, whatever it may be, we're having people papa scream the weather.

I think Jade came up with a better name for it. I think it was papa weather report as a last resort. Kinda has a ring to it that way. But what you gotta do is listen for that cue to call. Not right now.

I'll do it at some point this afternoon. Listen for that cue to call, be caller 15 at (208) 535-1015. And then no matter where you're at, whatever you're doing, you're gonna have to scream out as loud as possible. Your weather update doesn't have to be exact with the numbers and all that. It just has to be your brief weather update.

You gotta scream as loud as possible. Sort of like well, you can scream like a like a regular scream. You could do it in an early two thousands, new middle fashion, whatever it may be. As long as you scream out the weather, you get tickets to go see Papa Roach, Rise Against, and Under Oath live at the Maverick Center, Thursday, April Third. Like I said, you can also sign up through the apps as a secondary option, but most importantly, listen for that cue to call at any point throughout this week, any point throughout this day, all throughout the week.

Listen for that cue to call, b caller 15, and papa scream the weather for those tickets. Of course, the entire radio prep is all about Saint Patrick's Day. Yeah. If you're celebrating Saint Patrick's today Saint Patrick's Day today with a pint of green beer, it should be safe. Most health officials have concluded that the dye is not any worse for you than the alcohol itself.

Green dye number three is safe to use and permitted to be used here in The US even though it is banned in some other countries. Sorry to those other countries. No green beer for them, I guess. But, yeah, like I said at the beginning part of the show, don't be dumb. Be smart.

If you're gonna celebrate, make sure to get a ride. Get a ride with Uber, some friend who that that's 100% sober. Don't be that person. Most people don't listen nowadays, and for some reason, it's still a big issue that people still feel the need to drink and drive. Like, I'll be fine.

No. No. Get a ride. Be smart about tonight. I'm gonna be staying in, I think.

After I'm done here at work, I'm my back's killing me today. I feel like such an old man saying that. Here's my first world problem. You ready for this? On Saturday, I got, Taco Bell.

It's my go to fast food place. I get their medium Pepsi as part of the, Luxe Cravings box. And I think what happens, because this has been a big issue not only with Taco Bell, but every fast food place when I order through the app. I don't think it was Taco Bell. I think it was Arby's on Saturday that I went to where this happened.

But, every single time I order a medium drink and I order, like, a Coke or a Pepsi, it'll say m e d space Coke or Pepsi. And I think the associate there will see the d Coke or d Pepsi and assume it's Diet Pepsi and give me Diet Coke or Pepsi, which I, for some reason, cannot have. I I have my mom's genes to where when she has sucralose or any artificial sweetener, it messes with her nerve endings, and it messes with mine too. And I stupidly just drank the Diet Coke. I'm like, one shouldn't be an issue.

Right? Well, sure enough, today, I'm walking around with a limp like an old man. It's awful. So I I was gonna try to go to the gym tonight, but, I'll see if I can even make it into my front door walking properly. If I can't, well, I'll skip the gym today.

That's a valid excuse. Right? Well, here's a pretty wild one for you. A man was just awarded $50,000,000 after suing Starbucks for an alleged hot tea incident. Yeah.

You heard that right. Hot tea. Now you're probably thinking, okay. Maybe a coffee spill, but tea well, apparently, this tea wasn't just piping hot. It was more like a molten lava situation.

The guy claims the lid on his tea popped off, spilling the scalding liquid all over him resulting in some pretty serious burns. Now here's the kicker. Are you ready for how much money this guy got? $50,000,000 in damages. 50,000,000 serious cash for a tea related accident.

I mean, why didn't I ever think of suing my coffee shop for the time they gave me too much foam, something like that in LA? Something stupid. Right? But the real question is, how does a lid just pop off like that? What kind of tea were they serving?

It sounds more like a user error if I'm not you know, when you drive, I feel like a lot of people because I I've worked with the drive through many times. Many, many years. A lot of people like to check their food, check their drinks, take the lids off. I'm sure this this dummy decided to pop the lid to see if he got the right tea and then just spilled all over him. Now I'm just assuming things.

Now I didn't see the actual video of it happening, but Starbucks looks like they'd even didn't even try to settle. They took this all the way to the court. They were thinking, hey. If we're going down, we might as well take down the entire hot beverage industry with us. The guy is getting a ton of money out of this.

I mean, could you imagine being a multimillionaire just because tea spilled on your lap and you got some burns? Imagine being the Starbucks employee who gave him the drink and just lost the company that much money. And this right here is your Shot Clock sports update. A flaming hot Cheeto that's shaped like Michael Jordan Michael Jordan's famous Jumpman logo has hit the auction block. Jumpman Cheeto is three inches long inside a plastic case that also has a replica of the 1985 Nike photo that launched the logo.

The auction runs through March 29. I'm sure that'll sell for a ton of money. Again, if you're eating chips, make sure to check them. If they're shaped like any prolific figure out there, sell it on eBay right away. The Atlanta Dream owner, Larry oh my goodness.

How do you say this guy's last name? Gotzidenar? Gotzendiner? Announced that the team's May 22 home opener against Caitlin Clark in the Indiana Fever was moving from the Gateway Center Arena, which fits 4,000 fans to State Farm Arena due to a scheduling conflict at Gateway. Many basketball fans made fun of the team's, quote, unquote, scheduling conflict excuse and figured it was just a way to sell more tickets to see Clark play.

But the team wasn't kidding about the conflict. The Clayton County Public Schools have scheduled four high school graduations for May 22 at the great the Gateway Center. 4 graduations and the crush of fans wanting to see Caitlin Clark play would be just a bit too much for one arena. Now there's controversy brewing as the X Games have banned electric motocross bikes. Competitors wishing to enter the motocross events at the X Games must ride gas powered bikes.

Things will very likely change in the future, but for now, the organizers are attempting to maintain a level playing field until they can sort out exactly what to do with the differences between EV bikes and the old school versions. That does it for your Shot Clock Sports update right here on Kay Barra 1 0 1. Well, I think I think this was one of my sister's favorite stores back in the day. I think she just occasionally shopped there. I think again.

But, Forever twenty one filed again for bankruptcy the second time in six years, this time for chapter 11 bankruptcy, bringing the brand that helped pioneer the low price on trend retail model for fast fashion closer to, shutting down hundreds of stores across the country. Is there even one here in the area? I haven't paid attention to them because, well, I don't shop there myself. You think they're gonna carry a three XL in in men's clothing? I don't think so.

But, it does suck to see a store like this going out. I mean, there's this really cool one back at home. Their entire wall is a bunch of lights, and it changes colors. It's very distracting when you're on the freeway. The freeway like the 405 where you drive and you see this bright what what looks like to be a party going on to the left.

You're everyone's all distracted going, oh, pretty colors. Next thing you know, they're in they're in an accident. I wonder if some other store is gonna take up that that that space there. Maybe. I don't know.

I feel like everything's gonna be going online. That's the thing that sucks. Forever twenty one's website and stores will remain open while the company begins, winding down operations, seeks a buyer for some or all of its assets. Right now is the perfect time. If you want some, cheap clothing and you can fit into Forever twenty one clothing, you might as well go to their location.

Is there one here in the area? I need to look this up. Forever twenty one near me. I see a Rue 21. That's the first thing that pops up.

You might just have to shop online to get to be to, take advantage of their, bankruptcy deals. It must be real bad when the, National Guard gets deployed. Devastating series of tornadoes and severe weather swept through multiple, US states from Thursday to Sunday resulting in at least at least forty deaths. The most significant casualties occurred in Missouri. Twelve deaths and twelve deaths.

Mississippi, six. Alabama, three. Arkansas, three. Road accidents caused by dust storms. Killed eight in Kansas, four in Texas.

I'm sorry for being such a letdown on a Monday or such a Debbie Downer on a Monday. Fast spreading wildfires in Oklahoma that killed at least four people, destroyed more than 200 homes. I saw those pictures of that dust storm, man. It's crazy. It's it's wild how weird weather can be.

The storms caused widespread destruction, thousands of homes damaged leading to extensive power outages. The National Guard was deployed in Arkansas. Federal assistance on standby to support the affected regions. The National Weather Service issued warnings advising residents to avoid seeking refuge in vehicles or under trees due to the risks, posed by the storm. My friend, Hunter, he loves storm chasing.

He lives in, Terre Haute, Indiana out of all places. And, he was like, I'm gonna go storm chasing tonight, and he got some great pictures of the of the tornado. At least he's having fun with it. Right? Yet another one of those stories popped up about, a specific person returning this very overdue library book.

There's no due date when it comes to doing the right thing is the first, sentence of this article. So a public library in New Jersey has forgiven the family of Mary Cooper for hanging on to an overdue book for 99 years. Yeah. The 81 year old says she was going through her her mother's old belongings when she found an old book, which had been taken out of the, Ocean County Library. The book titled Homemade Toys for Girls and Boys was due back at the library, 03/31/1926.

The library told her the, the later fee adjusted for inflation would likely amount to about $18,000. But luckily for her, the library had already gotten rid of the late fees several years ago. Her library was happy to have the book back, and it's since been put on display for visitors to look at. Not check out, but to look at. I I guess that's what comes out of this story.

I mean, I I I see stories like this all the time that pop up on the radio prep. Some guy delivered the book back to the library over a hundred years later. At that point, it's yours. Right? Right?

Well, we have another one of those articles talking about an asteroid potentially heading towards Earth. This one, they can't really see or detect because of the sun, apparently. A city killer asteroid is what they're calling it. Could be hurtling towards Earth but going completely undetected, a space agency chief has warned. Humanity has only just recovered from the near miss of asteroid y r four, which threatened to blow a huge hole into the Earth's crust.

That one, they were trying to say, was the equivalent to 8,000,000,000 kilos of TNT scientists calculated. But there could be another asteroid like it or worse lurking in our blind spot. An astronomer has warned the problem is we still don't have the tech to let us search the space between the Earth and the sun because it's simply, too bright to get around the issue. The European Space Agency is building a cutting edge planet defense system that will boost our space vision. That's pretty unique.

Right? Luca Converge, an ESA scientist, told the sun there's a chance that something the size of y r four is approaching from the sun, but we just haven't detected it. Which city do you think it's gonna head towards? That could be a great to peach their own question. What city is the asteroid gonna no.

Never mind. Forget that dumb joke. If you're not into college basketball, the NCAA March Madness tournament begins this Thursday, March 20. And, luckily, Josh from Classy ninety seven, he has been nice enough to organize this entire thing within the office to, basically have a little bracket competition between me, him, Josh, our new GM, Kevin, I think. There's gonna be a few of us trying to see who can nail the perfect bracket.

Of course, that can't happen. Hasn't happened, but we now have the tool of AI. I feel like maybe I should spend the $20 on chat GPT four point o and just ask it, hey. Out of this bracket right here, after evaluating all the schools, all the players' stats, how their team has been all year long, which team do you think will end up on top? And I'll probably have Chad GPT do its own bracket, but under my name.

So that way, if it is 100% perfect, I could just be like, oh, you know what? I I knew it all on. I know my basketball. No one really does. This thing's all about luck.

Any everybody in the office here could try their absolute hardest, and somebody who doesn't know basketball at all could win the entire thing. That's the beauty of March Madness. When checking out of a hotel room, it's always a good idea to do a once over and, make sure you're not leaving something important behind like a phone charger, your medications, maybe even your pet alligator. Yeah. Police in Michigan, they were called to a motel in Pine Rivers after cleaning personnel cleaning personnel entered a just vacated room, found a three foot alligator just lounging under the bed.

Now cops figured out that the gator's name is Wally, and he belongs to a man whom who owns multiple exotic animals and brings them to elementary schools for demonstrations. He told police he knew Wally was missing, but thought he had somehow gotten away from him. He didn't realize he left Wally at the motel. Police held on to Wally until he until he could be reunited with his owner, which is good. He got back to its original owner.

I I just can't imagine forgetting something as crucial as a pet, maybe even your own kid. There was a a family friend years ago that forgot their daughters at softball practice and just took off. And I still, to this day, wonder what exactly was going through that dad's mind to forget his own children. I don't think we'll ever know. Now this is one of those real stories where I feel like it it could be a great Netflix drama if they executed it correctly.

This research group trapped at a small base in Antarctica. I always have a tough time saying that word, ant Antarctica. They are fearing for their safety after a team member allegedly attacked and threatened to kill a colleague. Yeah. This team of 10 scientists from South Africa, they're stuck at this base.

They could be there for several months due to extreme weather conditions making it almost impossible to get in and out of the area. One of the groups one of the group members sent an email claiming a colleague had attacked and made threats to kill another member of staff. Isn't that pretty wild? You wonder how it's gonna happen? I feel like everything should be just fine there.

They'll find out who it is. It's almost like real life among us or the what's that classic film? 10 little is it 10 little Indians? No. It's not that one.

Is it? I forgot which classic one it is, but it kinda reminds me of, like, a knives out glass onion type thing. Thanks for listening to Peach's Pit Party, the podcast.
