We are here. It is, in fact, Monday, December 8th, 2025. 17 days till Christmas. Who's counting? If you wanna get a hold of me, you can, of course, over at 208-535-1015. There's a lot to talk about today. I, I'm glad there's, there's a lotta stuff that happened over that very fast weekend. I saw so many different posts and things of the... Like, there's so many things to talk about on this program. I'm very excited for today, because usually, I mean, this time of year, usually you have the news sources shut down. I heard Victor say the whole entire music industry is gonna close for, like, the rest of the year. So, new music is going to be very scarce, um, after this week. This Friday we got our, uh, company holiday party, so there's that. You know, we're getting closer to Christmas, and it doesn't necessarily feel like Christmas. I don't know if it's just because the weather, knocking on wood, has been, uh, sort of like how it is back home for me. Like, back home in southern California, the, the, the weather was a high of 60, low of, like, 45. Wasn't anything to worry about, right? I have been extra scared this winter. I've talked about it over the past week. I have been extra scared to drive on the snow only because I don't wanna go through another accident and that whole headache, you know? But I did see the first post of the year on Facebook. I was waiting for it. I was talking about it with friends. I'm like, "I'm waiting for that one dude to post in Life In Idaho Falls, "Where's the snow?"" You know, but by the fourth time it gets posted, that's when the snow comes. You know, by the fifth time, that's when we have a record storm type of thing. So, keep posting that. A- keep asking, "Where's the snow?" Like it's going to change anything. Like somebody's gonna have the magical answer, and they'll say, "Sorry, I've been hiding it this entire time." And then they chuck it into the air and pretty soon the whole town is covered in that dreadful S-word, you know? Uh, let, let's enjoy the warmer weather while it's here, you know? That sparked a whole thread of people going from, you know, "Oh, it was much, much worse back in 2009." I did see an, uh, plenty of other people saying, "The seasons are changing. Climate change is here. Pretty soon we'll have 90 degree Novembers." Oh wait, there's already people saying that. Uh, why, why don't those people that really, really, really enjoy the snow, why don't they go to the place, go to a place like this? Yakutsk, Siberia. I was watching this whole video on my lunch break about it. Um, this one family, they have 22 kids. 18 of them are adopted.
So, they're taking care of a whole bunch of, uh, a whole bunch of kids. Like, well, not necessarily. One of them was, like, 37 years old. They, they, there was, there was a wide variety of ages. The oldest was 37. Obviously he's out on his own with his own family. There were plenty that were in their early 20s, and there were some as young as six, and they all live in this one house. And I was watch- I was watching this video about how, like, this family of 22 or 24, I should say, with the parents included, um, they try their best to survive the Yakutsk, Siberia winter. And it could, it can reach as cold as -84 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm looking at the weather right now. You're looking at a high of -36 degrees Fahrenheit. Tomorrow, ha- um, a high of -30.
So, if you wanna have that snow, if you wanna have that, that frozen weather that you're al- you're so aching for, go to Yakutsk, Sky- however you say it, Yakutsk, Sk- Siberia [laughs]. Go there. Oh man, I love those posts. Where's the snow? Anyway. Peaches Pit Party, we'll be back here in just a few on K-Bear 101. At some point during the show this afternoon, I'll play the, uh, Sa- the sounder, the Santa sounder for the Merry Axmas giveaway with the Advocates Injury Attorneys. If you haven't heard, if you've been under a rock this entire time, we are giving away one of the, I would say actually the best guitar in our collection. It has five different bands' signatures on it. It has Bad Omens, Hailstorm, Fall Out Boy, Sleep Theory, and Never Tell.
All those bands on one guitar. Make it into Merry Axmas with the Advocates Injury Attorneys. You just have to sign up within the apps. Sign up once per app.
Sign up once in the K-Bear app, once in the Alt app, once in the Cannonball 101 app. And then listen for that sounder, Be Color 20. When you hear that sounder, not right now, but when you hear that sounder, Be Color 20 at 208-535-1015 to score an extra entry into that drawing. And you can keep stacking those on-air entries. And then December 19th, that's when we'll pull, we'll take down the forms. We'll print out everybody's names who have won th- with the sounder, won an extra entry on the air. We'll put them all in the one big bowl and draw that one winner. Who is going to win that signed guitar from Bad Omens, Hailstorm, Fall Out Boy, Sleep Theory, and Never Tell? Let's continue Peaches Pit Party right now with Linkin Park, up from the bottom on K-Bear 101. So, over the weekend, my girlfriend and I went to Ross, and we were just looking around. I forgot exactly what we were looking for. I think we just liked to window shop in there. Just go around, see what they have for sale. She'll usually do this thing where she'll... I've talked about this before. She'll go to the, the, the girls' section, see some shoes, see, like, like a sweater. And go, "Oh, that's cute." And then put it back. Like, it's a complete waste of time. If you're not gonna buy it, why are we walking through this whole thing [laughs]? I, I'm the type of shopper to where I go where I need to go, get my things, and I get outta there, you know? Especially in a place like Ross, where
most of the aisles are overcrowded with clothes on the floor that people just chuck on the ground, you know?I feel bad for the poor staff because, you know, [laughs] right after the, uh, local election ended, there were a lot of people going back to the whole conversation about Ross and how it's always messy in there. And I, I've, I, I'm d- I'm with the staff of the store. Like, they can only clean so much before, you know, the next horde of people comes in and starts throwing clothes on the ground, shoes on the ground, making a mess. You can't blame the staff. It's like having a bunch of kids living at your house and they're just playing with toys, you know, chucking things around, running around. You can only clean so much before they make that mess right there again in that same exact area. Or it could, could be worse, you know? But we were going through the, uh, the Christmas section and there was all these different, like, little Santa figurines, Mrs. Claus figurines, and then I saw him, the creepy Christmas elf that I have been looking for. Victor did leave during his lunch break. I'm hoping that they had an extra one for his house. Um, I just posted a picture of me inside Ross with the creepy elf on the, uh, K-BEAR 101 Facebook page at K-BEAR 101FM. I might upload it to our Instagram as well. I'm looking for name suggestions. The reason why I'm so excited that I h- I got this elf is because Classy 97, Josh and Chantel, they've had this elf named Roland for about three years now and they used to antagonize our former head of sales, Jay Miller, with it. There was a few people here in the office that were just te- terrified of this little tiny thing and I don't know why. So
they, they would put him in, like, all these different positions around the office. Like, he would, uh, b- be in the lobby with a pair of, uh, toilet paper rolls, like two toilet paper, brown toilet paper roll things, and he would pretend those are binoculars. Like, Josh and Chantel were very creative moving him around the office. There was that one point I put Roland in the ceiling and I moved the ceiling tile to where he was just peeking down at you. It was quite creepy actually, but it was funny, right? You just look up and see this elf staring down at you. So I ... Apparently Hobby Lobby stopped selling those elves, those exact ones that Classy 97 has. So I was kind of upset that they don't ... Hobby Lobby didn't have them. Uh, I think Michaels didn't have anything close to it. Somehow Ross just had, like, two of those guys left and I bought him for 20 bucks. My girlfriend, Aubrey, was very, uh, very scared of it too. Uh, she was like, "This does not go in your bedroom at all." So my current elf, who has no name, is sitting on top of my, uh, movie display in my living room and I need help with coming up for a name for him. The one with the most likes, the one with the... Yeah, the one with the most likes. Let's just go with that on the K-BEAR 101 Idaho Rock- ... Not K-BEAR 101 Idaho Rock 'n' Metal. Our K-BEAR Facebook group. We have too many pages. Our K-BEAR 101 Facebook group at K-BEAR 101FM, let me know what I should name the elf and yeah, that'll be his name from here on out. [whoosh] I'm glad to see my post in r/Metalcore taking off. We had this discussion on the, uh, Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem, talking about the worst songs of 2025. You know, Avenged Sevenfold released Magic, a song for B- Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and it's just like their last album. Not necessarily my favorite. I think it is their worst release by far. [laughs] A lot of people have agreed with me because wh- ... Well, we had this whole argument back and forth. Victor likes it, I don't. We did a Crank It or Yank It with the track, which by the way, the track will be getting replayed at 5:00 PM for it's so new. I'm just giving out that warning right now so that way I don't disappoint a whole bunch of you. Um, I'm letting you know and ahead of time to tune out if you don't want to hear it again. So I posted in r/Metalcore, my coworker and I were having this argument about, about Avenged Sevenfold's latest release, Magic. I said, "It's the worst song of the year by far." But he thinks the weirder they are, the better they become. So long story short, I'm putting together a list of the absolute worst songs released in 2025 and I want to hear what everyone else thinks, which tracks made you roll your eyes or hit skip immediately. They can be from big bands, small bands, or anything in between. I'm looking for songs that just completely missed the mark this year. I'm up to 65 different comments, people debating about Avenged Sevenfold's Magic. Um, I did see a few people in here saying Rob Zombie's latest release, uh, Heathen Days, as well as Punks & Demons, not all that great. To me it just sounds like a copy-paste Rob Zombie track. There was also the very popular answer of A Day to Remember All My Friends being pretty cringe. Catchy melody but the lyrics make it a skip whenever I listen to the album according to Uppersawn16 on r/Metalcore. Um, you do have some people just putting, um, Moist Critikal with Nick Nocturnal. That's, that song came out, yeah. Moist Critikal, the YouTuber sung in a track and it's as, as awful as you would think it is. Nothing against Moist Critikal, but I was just, I was just shocked to see his name pop up. [laughs] Like if so- ... If Nick Nocturnal asked me to do a metal track, I'd be like, "Hey man, let's save everyone else's ears, all right?" A lot of people are Ice Nine Kills haters now too. I've noticed that. Their latest track, The Laugh Track,
it's not that bad of a song but it is just about a Batman villain and it has that, uh, you know ... Was it, was it Kissing in the ... Kissing the Devil in the Pale Moonlight? Something along the lines of that. Like, I've heard that lyric this entire year thanks to Pale Moonlight from Dayseeker. So yeah, if you wanna participate in that, uh, subreddit thread, r/Metalcore, worst songs of 2025 so far. I mean there's still-There's still plenty of time to release an even worse track than Avenged Sevenfold's Magic. That's not a challenge. That's just saying somebody's a, somebody can. Somebody can be capable of doing so. [air whooshing] Oh, boy. We're talking about soccer again. Here we go. The draw for the 2026 World Cup unfolded on Friday, which determined the groups, matchups, and venues for next summer's tournament in North America. The United States men's national team ended up with a favorite draw in Group D, or favorable draw in Group D. They'll play Paraguay and Australia to start. This is good news because they already beat both Paraguay and Australia this year. Good for them, I guess. The NHL's return to the Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy has hit yet another snag. Oh, boy. How do you say this? The Santa Goia, Santa Goia Arena, a 16,000-seat venue scheduled to host 33 hockey games is still under construction. And now it's been discovered that the rink is three feet shorter and just barely wider than the 200-foot by 85-foot dimensions required under NHL rules. NHL Players' Association officials are worried about the possibility of injury because the, uh, shorter length will leave very fast and very strong players with less room to maneuver. Last Thursday night, LeBron James scored eight whole points, which ended his streak of 1,297 straight games of scoring 10 points or more. The last time James scored single digits in a basketball game was January 5th, 2007. How much has the world changed during this streak? How about this? You ready for this? Three days after the streak started, Steve Jobs announced the first iPhone [air whooshing] would come out in June. Google Maps', uh, Street View was five months away. Bitcoin was two years away from being invented. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who was last year's MVP, was eight years old in 2007. How old was I? I think I was also... No, 2007, I was 11. Yeah, I was 11. That does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on KBAR 101. [air whooshing] I keep getting notifications about my comments in the Life In Pocatello Facebook group. We talked about this on the, uh, Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem earlier today. Why, why not talk about it again, you know? There's been a lot of this, uh, talk about, uh, businesses coming to East Idaho. Businesses that plan on coming, businesses that aren't coming. P- p- people want them to show up here, but then there's also the others that are like, "Why would we want that? Because we already have this," you know? Someone named Damien posted, "Why are so many people excited about a Chipotle coming to Pocatello? We have plenty of awesome small business Mexican restaurants in town. Why would you want a large chain to come in and increase the competition for the locals?" Now, here's the thing. People want variety. That's what I wrote. It's a great thing to have variety. You know, I'm sick of people saying things like, "But we already have a Cafe Rio. We don't need a Chipotle." Good, then you can continue to go to Cafe Rio. L- be like Damien. Continue going to the local Mexican spots. There's nothing against them. It's just people want variety, you know? Chipotle is quite popular. And then I was also reading some comments about how Chipotle was already in Pocatello but they failed the first time. I don't know much about that, but, I mean, people just want overall variety. That's the thing, right? People wanna have the Americanized, um, almost... I would say it is fast food, 'cause you walk in, you get in line and there's so much pressure when you're in that line trying to figure out exactly what you want, 'cause you're just to let them know right then and there. "I want a burrito, uh, wi- with rice and, and beans and..." I stupidly at one point was ordering at the one in Rexburg, [laughs] and I was... And they asked me if I was having... They, they asked me if I wanted queso, and for some reason I heard them say like, "Are, uh, is your day going so-so?" Or something like that. And I went, "Yeah." And so they put queso on my burrito and they charged me like four extra bucks. That's my only gripe with Chipotle, is that they, they charge you so much extra money for these add-ons. Like guacamole costs a ton, a ton. But yeah, if you wanna support local Mexican food spots in Pocatello, continue to do so. But people who wanna go to Chipotle, they can go there. It's all about variety. [air whooshing] I was adding some, uh, more shows to our concert calendar that's always available to you at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. Um, Avenged Sevenfold announced a tour with Good Charlotte. They were teasing about it. I knew they were coming to Salt Lake City 'cause, well, Live Nation Salt Lake City posted the death bat
and it said, "A7X + GC." I'm like, "Well, I already know who A7X is." I'm just trying... I was, at the time, I was trying to figure out who GC was. And then there's this page that I follow that kind of, uh, you know, uh, they'll say like, "Oh, rumor is that these bands will tour," and like 98% of the time they're correct.
So shortly after I saw the tease from Live Nation Salt Lake City, I saw the post that was made, um, from Wolverine Kills that Avenged Sevenfold and Good Charlotte are gonna be on the... hitting the road together in 2026. And sure enough, yes, they are coming to the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater on August 25th. So that show's on our concert calendar. I did see the, the band Varials announced a tour. I did see, uh, the classic rock band known as Toto with Christopher Cross and the Romantics also announced a show in Salt Lake City.
So I've been trying my best to keep, uh, or trying my best to get our concert calendar with all the shows coming to the area next year. The... I believe the last show is coming up on December 13th that I have on our concert calendar before it hits Ja- before it goes to 2026. Cattle Decapitation at the Urban Lounge in Salt Lake City, [laughs] December 13th, with, uh, Frozen Soul, Tribal Gaze... Oh, man.What a crazy lineup that is. And then, yeah, January 19th is the next show with The Offspring. I believe they're coming to, uh, the Ford Idaho Center arena. It's quite a gamble to go to a show during this time of the year only because, you know, the weather, it could be as nice as it is this week, could be as ugly as, uh, what, February of 2024, I believe, when I was supposed to go to Beartooth: Sleep Theory and Invent Animate in Salt Lake City, but then all of a sudden overnight, we had all of the snow that we should have had earlier on in the winter just dump all in one night and it would have made driving to Salt Lake City a five-hour road trip, like it was that bad. So yeah, the weather's a gamble this time of year. You might as well wait until like, I don't know, mid-February. And that's still even a gamble too. I mean, we got, we got some good shows, uh, coming our way in February, like Ghost at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, uh, February 22nd, you got Bad Omens, Beartooth, and President, Delta Center February 22nd like, wow, next year is looking stacked. I'm just scrolling down here looking at all these different shows. You can look at these shows too, riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. Obviously for those people who have tuned into the show before have heard me talk about my experience working at In-N-Out Burger. I was there for like three years. It absolutely sucked. I mean, there are a lot of people who are passionate about working there. I, for one, hate customer service and working there made me hate people. 'Cause it's just burgers and fries. But so many people are so complex with their orders that it's unbelievable how many different variations of a cheeseburger I had heard during my time there. So when I was working there, I found out that the number 69 is not in the, in the, the base or the database, whatever it's called, for your, your order number. You cannot be order 69 at any In-N-Out location across the country simply because I'm sure you giggled the first time I said the number 69 and I'm sure if somebody went over the loudspeaker in In-N-Out and said, "Order number 69," you know, you would get all those snickers in the back of the restaurant, you would get some guy going, "Nice." You know, people laughing their heads off. Well, now since the whole 67 or 6-7 thing has now become a thing over the past couple of weeks, several In-N-Out locations have removed that number from their system because they don't want to have those screaming kids going, "6-7." [laughs] You know? There, [laughs] there was this Jimmy Fallon bit, I was talking about this with my girlfriend Aubrey. There was this Jimmy Fallon bit, uh, this, this game that he played with Sydney Sweeney called like "What's Going On Behind Me" or something like that and it's a dumb game. Like Jimmy Fallon to me is one of the unfunniest hosts of all time. You want to talk about a garbage interviewer, r/SeetherMods, I'm not a garbage interviewer, Jimmy Fallon is. Like he'll crack a joke and then laugh at it and he'll do like this really fake laugh and he tr- he tries so hard to pander to a, uh, a younger audience that when he had Sydney Sweeney on the show, he, uh, had them do this thing, like he had, uh, the three staff members put on La Bubú costumes and do the 6-7 dance behind her
and the whole sentence said, "What's going on behind me with Sydney Sweeney:
3 La Bubu's do 6-7 at the McDonald's drive-through," and there were so many people on Twitter saying that was the worst sentence they have ever read. And I watched the bit. It's just... Yeah, it's as awful as you would think it is. Let's move on from that. Avatar, tonight we must be warriors right here on K-Bear 101. I meant to mention it earlier on in the show, I got reminded by my good friend Matt that, uh, Dimebag Darrell passed away on this day 21 years ago, December 8th, 2004. There's Five Minutes Alone from Pantera. It's Peaches pit party. Let's talk about, uh, Pollstar's list of the most popular touring art- artists of the millennium. It's pretty crazy how popular Coldplay is. This, uh, new list is based strictly on ticket sales from January 2001 to December of this year. Coldplay has sold nearly 25 million tickets in that time. 25 million.
With U2, who has been around for much longer, following with 20.2 million tickets, Ed Sheeran, 19.65 million. I didn't realize how popular the Dave Matthews Band was. 19.5 million. Taylor Swift, 18.8 million. The rest of the top 10 is like Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, uh, Kenny Chesney, Metallica, 15.5 million tickets sold. Imagine that. You sold 15.5 million tickets
in 25, 24 years. Well actually, technically 25, almost 25 years, 15 and a half million tickets, 15.5 million people went to your shows. Well, I mean, there's probably people who bought tickets that didn't show up, you know, that type of thing, I'm sorry. Forgot to mention that. The average ticket price among all of the artists on this, uh, list from Pollstar of the most popular touring artists of the millennium is $104.83 but Swift, Taylor Swift had the highest average at nearly $200, $165.54 to be exact followed closely by The Rolling Stones who ranked at number 12 overall. But Swit- Swift also grossed the most money with $3.1 billion followed by Coldplay with $2.4 billion. I have to be honest here, I've secretly wanted to go see Coldplay live. For some reason it just looks so much fun. You got lights, you got the lasers, you got the show, you got people into it. I mean, have you seen a live show from them?I kinda feel like it would be almost to the same level as Trans-Siberian Orchestra, which by the way, hands down, the best concert I have ever seen in my entire life. I'm easily entertained by the lasers, the- the- the pyro, the overall show. That to me is so much better than just watching a band perform, like Breaking Benjamin, for example, who just stand there and play their songs. Maybe that's, uh, other people's taste. I don't know, maybe people- other people like that. I don't, like, I wanna have a fun, fun show. Anyway, uh, speaking of bands that- that just, uh, stand there and jam, here's, uh, Chevelle, Pale Horse.
[whoosh]
Peaches Pit Party right here on K-Bear 101. That was President with Fearless and, uh, Victor did mention that that was one of his, uh, well, that was what he considered to be one of the worst songs of 2025. We were having that major discussion, uh, earlier today on the noon hour of madness and mayhem, eh, because it sparked from the whole Avenged Sevenfold Magic release, talked about it earlier on in the show this afternoon as well. So I went to r/MetalCore and posted this whole thing saying about how like, "Hey, I'm putting together a list of the- the absolute worst songs released this year. I wanna hear what everyone else thinks." I don't think anybody else put President in the, uh, the thread here. There is about 70-something plus comments, a whole wide variety of answers here. We're- I see people, uh, going after Attack: Attack! Uh, [laughs] someone wrote, "Low bar, but All My Women by Falling in Reverse and Hardy made me wanna stab both of my ears with an extra sharpened chainsaw." [laughs] Um, I feel like taking all of the songs on this thread and posting it as a whole list on our, uh, TikTok, maybe even our Instagram and also Facebook. Why not post it everywhere at K-Bear 101 FM? I do like posting those lists. I know every week, uh, for the past couple of weeks, I've posted the, uh, new music release lists. Um, just in case you wanted to- you wanted to know what bands are releasing what, or what- what bands are putting out new music, you can always go to those videos. Again, that's on our TikTok, that's all over our socials. But, why- why- why do I keep saying just specifically TikTok? It's all over our socials at K-Bear 101 FM.
[whoosh]
I like how AP News, uh, put out this article about how a seal walked into a bar. No, not the singer, an actual seal.
It galumped into a bar. [laughs] The seal, i- in Wellington, New Zealand, it was apparently lost, curious, and also it says here in the article, "Well below New Zealand's legal drinking age. It lodged itself under the dishwasher, showed no interest in calling a cab." [laughs] This seal just waddled in, and I guess the, uh, the bartender just yelled out, "Grab the salmon." [laughs] I'm looking at the security footage. Everybody's in shock, obviously. I mean, you- you don't expect to see some just wild seal co- just come, you know, galumping into a bar, but sure enough, it did. Another customer fetched a dog crate from home, and I guess this seal was small enough, must've been a baby seal. An- a customer fetched a dog crate from home, brought it back to the, uh, the bar to catch it, to try to l- lure the- lure it out from under the dishwasher. [laughs] All right, that's pretty funny. Turns out, uh, conservation rangers, uh, were already tracking the wandering seal. It just so happened to have walked into the bar. Oh, the article ends with, "Salmon will remain on the menu." I'm glad the seal didn't get their, uh, beloved salmon supply.
[whoosh]
I can't believe, honestly, the time is already here. John Cena has been doing this, uh, retirement tour from wrestling. He's like the first wrestler to ever do it. Um, this entire year, he's been just wrestling for the last time. I- I- I don't know how to say it. Like it's like, [laughs] he announced that at the end of 2025, he is going to stop wrestling forever. So, this upcoming Saturday is his last ever show. December 13th, Saturday night. I believe it's called Saturday Night Main Event. It's one of those, like, subsidiary shows that don't necessarily- it doesn't- doesn't necessarily matter all that much. Like, it's usually Monday Night Raw, Friday Night Smackdown, and then you- you don't even call them pay-per-views anymore. You call them paid l- you call them paid live events or something like that. PLEs. I remember back in the day, begging my parents, b- my dad specifically, to purchase the latest, uh, WWE pay-per-view so I could watch it live. I had him spend like $50 on a two-hour, three-hour long wrestling event. $50, and that was back in like 2007, you know? Back when I was real young and I wanted to watch some good old wrestling. Now I've tried watching wrestling and I'm like, "This is too fake and too cringe to watch." You know, the punches are terrible looking. I- it's like, it's very predictable at some points, but I might actually tune in just to see John Cena's last ever match and... Supposedly this entire time, there's been this tournament going on of who is going to be John Cena's last opponent, and it's this guy named Gunther who is not necessarily what most people- who- who- who- m- what most people want to wrestle John Cena. Like, they want an, uh, a legend to come back, like Edge or Chris Jericho. Somebody like that instead of this young guy named Gunther, but it's not up to John Cena. I guess it's up to Triple H and the rest of the, uh, company that puts on the- the matches. So, John Cena's last ever match is also going to open the show Saturday, so, uh, it- it'll pretty much be the first match you'll see and then that's it. No more John Cena. Uh, people are making predictions online, hoping that some legend will crash the match and it'll become this epic thing. I mean, who-Who really knows, really? I- I'm ex- I'm honestly kind of excited to watch it, but I know I'll be very sad, 'cause John Cena, right up there with Shaq as one of my all-time favorite celebrities. And now that he'll no longer wrestle, it just means that I'm getting older, you know? Approaching 30. All my favorite people, all my favorite famous people are getting older. My parents are getting older. It sucks to see that happen, you know? Time sucks. [laughs] Here's Pierce the Veil, so far, so fake. [graphics whooshing] Peaches Pit Party, right here on KBear 101. I- I saw this question get asked, "What's your go-to gift for a White Elephant party, uh, gift exchange," you know? I was just thinking, I'm like, "You know what? I don't really wanna spend extra money that I don't need to spend." You know? Not- nothing against my coworkers, nothing against my, uh, my friends, my peers, whatever. Uh, I, I for one barely have money to spend on my parents, my sister, my girlfriend. I'm trying my best just to find what I can for real cheap for Christmas for this year. And, to try to- to have to spend like a limit of $15 on most people that I just get forced to see every day, I'm just trying to figure out what I should get them. And, I- I was thinking about it. I'm like, "You know what would be rather funny?" But I missed out on the opportunity to do so, because Bath & Body Works, their candle sale just ended, I think yesterday. Every three-wick candle was like $9.95. I'm sure that store was a madhouse. I'm sure every person working at Bath & Body Works across the country hated themselves for having [laughs] to work [laughs] that sale or having to work at that store. Uh, Bath & Body Works released this candle. I thought it was fake, but no. Now I've seen multiple people post it, and I've seen people post, uh, videos of them smelling the candle saying it's one of the worst scents they've ever smelled. Bath & Body Works decided to release this candle that's, uh, that smells like chips and salsa. There's a whole line of things like that. There's a, like, a slushy and, oh, I forgot the combination for that one. There was like, there was like coffee and donut, something like that. There's chips and salsa. There was the- the- the- all these different combinations. But the chips and salsa one was the one that was getting called out just because it's so dumb. Like why would you wanna light a candle and have the whole place smell like chips and salsa? I mean, usually, when you light a candle, you want it to be nice and almost romantic, and I can only imagine like you invite your date over and you- you light up the chips and salsa candle, and she comes in and nearly throws up, you know? [laughs] But it would've been funny to put that into the, uh, White Elephant gift exchange, but, you know, I came up with this idea. Instead of spending money, I have these Funko Pops! I sold most of my Funko Pops! I'm glad I did, 'cause all the money I'm- I'm making on selling some of my junk at my place, I'm putting towards spending money for my California trip in January. I- I, [laughs] I'm gonna take two Funko Pops! that I don't think will ever sell, even on Facebook Marketplace, and I think I'm gonna put it in, uh, a nice little gift bag and put it in the White Elephant gift exchange, so that way I don't have to spend money. Is- is that cheap of me? Yes. [upbeat music] Thanks for listening to Peaches Pit Party, the podcast. If you enjoyed the show, please share, subscribe, and rate the podcast.
