[upbeat music] Back from Los Angeles indeed. Well, not necessarily. I, I sometimes visit Los Angeles on my trip back home, but for the most part, I, I stay put in Orange County with my family. Uh, I'll sometimes go to Los Angeles to hang out with friends, but I am back overall. It's Peaches here. Hi, how's it going? It's Monday, January 26, 2026. If you wanna get a hold of me, you can, over at 208-535-1015. It's a mixture of both excitement and also sadness at the same time. Like, I don't know how to describe it. I'm excited for... I, I'm excited I get to have something to do, but I'm also sad that I'm back at work and not hanging out all day, going to places that I wanna go to. You know, vacation's fun and all, but it always come to an end. It always comes to an end. Good things come to an end, and yeah, there, there's that whole thing. But I'm looking forward to the next time I get to bring my girlfriend back out to California with me. We'll go ahead and go to the beach more and all that. We barely went to the beach on the, on the trip. Like, we went to Seal Beach. She dipped her feet in the water, and that was about it. We didn't do a whole beach day. We just went there and said, "Yay," and then went down Main Street, Seal Beach, and checked out a few of the shops and all of that, and then made our way back to my parents' place and just kind of, uh, tried to do what we could in the span of a week. You know, California has so many different things that you could spend a whole month there and still have a ton you didn't do. Like, Victor this morning asked if I went to the Hood Life Tour. No, because that whole thing's expensive. Uh, we barely touched the ocean, like I just mentioned, where there's a whole list of restaurants that we still did not go to. Um, we-we'll just have that stuff to do when we get back. We did go to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, checked out all the fish. Um, I know the next time we go, we'll have to go to the LA Zoo because that's what my girlfriend really wanted to do, and we missed out on that. You know, there's a whole lot of stuff, but it's also very expensive, and also, you have to pay for parking everywhere, which is one of the many things I love about living here in Idaho, is that you don't, you don't have to pay for parking. You don't have to pay ten cents per bag, all of that crap. So yeah, hopefully there's some, uh, stuff to talk about this afternoon, 'cause Victor did warn me it is a slower news day. There's a whole lot of tragedy in the news that I'm not gonna necessarily cover because it's already on your Facebook feed, and as you probably know, I don't talk about politics at all on this program. I keep it fun and hopefully entertaining for you. Speaking of hopefully entertaining, I just recorded, uh, my reaction video to the new Megadeth Ride the Lightning cover that came out, uh, like, last Friday, this past Friday, January 23rd, when the album came out. Um, I'm about to post that on our YouTube channel at KBear101RMG. You wanna hear a first-world problem? I'm sure you do. I'm sure you're excited that I'm back here entertaining you. [chuckles] I posted that I was back in the, uh, KBear 101 Idaho Rock and Metal Facebook group. I got, like, fifteen likes, and some of them were my family members, friends from back home, like, "Hooray, Peaches is back!" [laughing] Anyway, anyway, I have this love-hate relationship with my belt. I hate the fact that I need to wear it because, well, I don't want my pants to fall down, you know? But also at the same time, like, when I do wear it, it's digging into my waist and digging into my stomach, and it hurts sometimes when you wear it for a prolonged period of time. So I might need to just take it off here in studio. I'm just taking it off right now, actually. Sliding the thing off, you know? Why is it so warm? [belt snapping] It's also hot in the studio, doing my live show. [chuckles] There's a secret sound suggestion: Peaches' belt coming off and landing on the counter. [belt snapping] There, there it is. [laughing] All righty, well, that, that, that's a break, I guess. Yeah, I'm already running out of content, and we're barely starting the show. This is gonna be terrific. Hollywood Undead now with Savior. There were a lot of shows that, uh, got announced when I was gone. I, uh... I, I stay on top of things by when, when I see something on my Facebook feed on my phone, I screenshot the, uh, concert poster and save it onto my camera roll, so that way, when I come back to work, I can see what shows got announced and then add them to our concert calendar. That's always available to you at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. Um, you should take a look at it. Um, it's-- there's, I think there's, like, close to eighty shows on there. 2026 is looking to be a packed year when it comes to concerts. I mean, the first show on here is the, the show we gave away tickets for, Ghost, the Skeletour World Tour at the, uh, Delta Center, February 10th. I still don't have those tickets. I know every single time we do a ticket giveaway, Live Nation fails to just give me the tickets right away. I have to wait for them to finally send them, and then I have listeners bombarding me with, "Where are my tickets at, Peaches? Where are they at? I just wanted to know." You know, that type of thing. It's like, "I'll get them when I get them and send them to you, all right?" I hate having to wait. [chuckles] Live Nation sucking as per usual, you know? Yeah, Ghost, February 10th at the Delta Center, and then also Bad Omens, Beartooth, and President, February 22nd, Delta Center as well. Look at that show, man. There's, there's too many coming up. I'm scrolling down here as I'm talking, and, uh, the, from now to about the end of April, early May, is when I think-- Oh, uh, there's, there's way too many shows. I'm planning this back-to-back Salt Lake City trip to go see Slaughter to Prevail, Whitechapel, and Attila, March 27th, and then the next day, go see Lamb of God with Kublai Khan, Fit for an Autopsy, Sanguisuga Bog at The Union in Salt Lake. Just do a two-day span out there. Why not? I have this giant Whitechapel poster, courtesy of one of the, uh, former DJs here, uh, Mohawk Mikey.... um, he gave me a giant Whitechapel flag. It's like four feet by five feet. It's a huge thing! I definitely wanna try to interview Phil Bozeman, get it signed by him, have that up on my wall. You know, might as well get a signature on it. I stare at it every day because when I get home, I go on another computer and go on my PC and do more computer stuff. Too much computer work. You know, I'm, I'm working that Monday through Friday, eight to five life, where I'm on a computer all day. I'm on four monitors here, and then I go home and spend more time on the computer. Anyway, go check out that concert calendar. It's always available to you, riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. There's even a concert calendar shortcut on the KBEAR 101 app. [whooshing sound] I have been bombarded with those constant advertisements for sites like, you know, ZipRecruiter, Indeed, and those sites, honestly, they suck. I've tried using them in the past, and they're just downright awful. You know what works great and is also highlighting jobs right here in the area? Hireeastidaho.com. I wanna talk about this particular job, for example, here, working for State Farm as an insurance account representative. There's a few of the, uh, requirements here, like must obtain Idaho property and, uh, casualty insurance licensing before hire, experience in customer service or sales. That's obvious you need to have that. You need to be detail-oriented, able to multitask, communication, interpersonal skills as well. If that feels like the right role for you, an insurance account representative for State Farm, go to hireeastidaho.com and apply, all right? Make sure to do so. Find yourself a new career in, in twenty twenty-six. I-I-If you're looking for something new, if you're just looking for a change, or if you're trying to change altogether and looking for a, a new way of life, like your current role, your current job isn't fulfilling you like you thought it would, make sure to go to hireeastidaho.com. Apply for this position and many others like it: hireeastidaho.com. There's a shortcut to it via the KBEAR 101 app. [whooshing sound] I honestly don't even wanna talk about sports after what happened to the LA Rams last night. But anyway, last week, the Buffalo Bills, they fired their head coach, Sean McDermott, so now, of course, the team is looking to replace McDermott. On Friday, they brought in former quarterback Philip Rivers for an interview. He has head coaching experience at St. Michael Catholic High School in Fairhope, Alabama. That's about it. Whoever gets the job with the Buffalo Bills will have big shoes to fill, especially since many fans are upset that Sean McDermott was fired and have actually set up an online petition to pressure the team into hiring him back. On Friday, the NCAA gave the green light for Division I teams to wear commercial patches from paid sponsors on uniforms and equipment starting this August. Each team can rock up to two four-inch, four square inch logos to help pay for players, which pretty much will turn, uh, student-athletes into walking billboards for the regular season. Some number crunchers at CNBC ranked seventy-five universities in terms of just how much the athletic program would be worth as if it was a business. A shocking thirteen schools have athletic departments that are worth more than a billion dollars. Texas at number one with one and a half billion, Ohio State's one point th- three five billion, Texas A&M at number three, Georgia at four, Michigan at five. I don't wanna go down through this whole list, but you get the gist of it, right? That is it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on KBEAR 101. [whooshing sound] When I was away, I was obsessed with watching Ronnie Radke's stream on Whatnot. I, I barely know what Whatnot is, but I get the overall, uh, hang of it. You know, it's a, uh, it's a place where you live stream and you sell things, and you do these little auctions here and there, and there are a lot of people on it selling sneakers, Pokémon cards, uh, et cetera, you know, different, weird, fun things. But Ronnie Radke has been, uh, streaming on there and selling merch that he personally signs, or maybe it's a limited edition T-shirt. Who knows? But the amount of money he has made doing this... I think I've talked about this before. When he first started, he made, he made over, like, a hundred grand just by selling merch on there, and he, uh, well, do-- He's doing this thing currently. I believe he's live even now. Somebody from his team, I believe, is also handling most of the live stream. Like, he's not there for the entire thing, obviously. When you're rich like him, you can just have other people work for you, you know? But [chuckles] I believe there's one or two dudes doing his live streams for the most part, and then he'll pop up occasionally, and then that's when everybody goes into the room or goes w- goes and watches the live stream, and you should see the amount of money these people are spending. Um, they gave away VIP for life. Somebody spent six thousand eight hundred dollars on that. I'm just thinking, like, how do you have that much money to just spend on Whatnot, especially? Like, if you're sitting there like, "Hmm, I have s- I have this extra seven grand just burning a hole in my pocket. What should I do with it?" And then [chuckles] they just see Ronnie selling VIP for life and go, "Oh, okay, that's where I'll spend it." Hopefully, that person's not married because I could only imagine if, like, me and my girlfriend, once we get to that eventual stage and everything, you know, and I tell, I tell her that I just spent seven thousand dollars on VIP for life when Falling in Reverse comes to town. I guess I'll get to meet the band and everything. And usually, when you do a VIP at a concert, a VIP experience, you get to see the band for, like, ten seconds, and then they go, "Okay, cool, thanks. Next person," you know? This person gets to do that at every show. And what's even funnier is that what if they become too much, and they attend every show, or they, like, they go to multiple shows in a row and attend VIP and, like, Falling in Reverse gets creeped out? But that person did just give the band almost seven thousand dollars.... Again, you should ch- you should check out Whatnot [chuckles] and go watch the Ronnie Radke live stream and maybe laugh at a few of those people that are spending ridiculous amounts of money, like on a Falling in Reverse T-shirt. I saw someone bought one of those for, like, fifty-five dollars. I, I would never buy a T-shirt for over, like, twenty-five, thirty. So I have officially transitioned from Xbox gaming to PC gaming. I still have my Xbox Series X at my place, but I canceled Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. I thought it was quite shady that, uh, that, uh, Microsoft amped it up to thirty dollars a month, which is actually quite ridiculous, especially for the lack of games they put out there for you to play on the Xbox Game Pass. So I got rid of that. I only use my PC to really game now, and, uh, hopefully, I can keep this thing updated. I, I don't really know much about computer parts. Um, luckily, I do have some people here in the building that are especially good at building computers and all that, like Jade, Victor, Josh, you know. But, uh, I was reading here about the PlayStation 6. I can't [chuckles] believe we're already on the PlayStation 6. You know, I, I remember getting the PS3 as a kid. My parents, uh... they, they're, they're the best parents ever, and I cannot emphasize that enough. They, they got me a PS3 when it first came out. It cost them, like, seven hundred dollars at the time to get me a PS3. I played it for, like, a year or two and then went, "Mom, Dad, my- all my friends are on Xbox. Can I get one of those instead?" And at one point, I had both systems. Anyway, gamers looking for the next generation of consoles might have to wait quite a bit longer. Uh, analysts now expect the PlayStation 6 to be delayed well beyond its original 2027 window. Um, there's rising production costs and soaring RAM prices that are forcing Sony to extend the life of the PS5, a move that has caused a dip in Sony's stock prices as investors are figuring out what to do during this cycle of stalled consoles. I mean, it's quite crazy to think that Grand Theft Auto V came out in 2013. The, the woman in the bikini on the loading screen, she's holding an iPhone 4. We're on the iPhone 17 now. Quite ridiculous, right? I think I have the iPhone 14, and I'm three generations behind. Oh, man, I, I, I don't know what will happen with the next Xbox, if I even consider getting it or if I should just sell both Xboxes and really commit to the whole PC gaming, the PC, uh, era of, of Peachz, you know? It is quite fun to, uh, download games onto it and to hopefully get- hopefully build it even bigger, build myself a nice mega PC, uh, get a better graphics card, eventually get that top-tier PC that I want. I think pretty soon I'm gonna start streaming, and when that happens, I'll keep you updated on my, uh, Facebook profile, my social media pages, @brendanpeach. When I was back home in California for the past week, um, I was telling people that you can simply listen to K-Bear 101 in Southern California or anywhere else for that matter by simply going to kbear.fm. It's that simple. Honestly, if you're at work, and you are just, like, bored out of your mind, you want something to entertain your ear holes while you're, uh, you know, doing your job, that type of thing, kbear.fm. That's the place to go. You don't need to open an app on your phone. You can just simply plug your headphones into your computer, or even better, blast K-Bear at your office or in your, in your- at your desk or, you know, in your cubicle, wherever you are. Kbear.fm, play us, and hopefully, we can entertain you with the best playlist and DJs possible. Well, not necessarily DJs, but you get the point, right? The Devil Wears Prada now everybody knows here on Peachz Pit Party. I know this doesn't necessarily fit the K-Bear audience, but I wanted to talk about it anyway because I'm the, the brand ambassador for Cannonball 101 as well. If you want to win tickets to go see Devo, you know, the Whip It band with the funny hats, those red hats they wear, they're bringing the Mutate Don't Stagnate tour to The Complex in Salt Lake City. I need to see the date on that. I believe it's, uh, April 7th, if I'm not mistaken. I do have the, uh, official poster on our Facebook. April 7th. Okay, there we go. I pulled it up. Devo, the Mutate Don't Stagnate Tour, April 7th, The Complex in Salt Lake City. If you wanna win tickets to that show, all you have to do is sign up within the app. Uh, there, there's a form on the K-Bear app. There's a form on the Alt app. There's also a form on the Cannonball 101 app. Sign up once on all three apps, and boom, you get three entries into the drawing. We'll be drawing winners for this on Friday, and then we're starting another ticket giveaway for a different show this Friday. Stay tuned for that. Make sure to sign up if you wanna win Devo tickets. Right now, I got some Set It Off with Rotten. It's Peachz Pit Party on K-Bear 101. It's Peachz Pit Party right here on K-Bear 101. I saw this question pop up. Why not talk about it? "What's something everyone romanticizes but is actually terrible? Expensive weddings," one of the answers. If you have the money to spend, good for you, but if you're going into debt for a wedding or blowing out your savings for a one-day celebration, then it's just a... such a bad decision. And I'm the type of guy that I, I really want to have a grand wedding. I don't wanna be that guy that just, you know, goes to Vegas and has the cheap, little, dumb ceremony. I mean, it's not necessarily... I, I shouldn't say dumb because, you know, s- that might be someone else's dream. 

00:17:45,296 --> 00:20:31,004 [Speaker 0]
And e- everyone does their- every couple does their wedding their own way. I've always wanted to be the guy that invites everyone that I know to such a big day where Peachz finally finds love, you know? Grand public proposals, another one of those where it just depends on who you're proposing to. Do they wanna have all the attention on them? Do they want to have something private, intimate?...What's something everyone romanticizes but is actually terrible? Being the special soul who can tame the bad guy. All right, that's a [chuckles] funny answer. Uh, uh, hustle culture is just burnout wearing a motivational quote. Yeah, saying that you worked a 16-hour shift out in the, uh, out in construction, I mean, that's nothing to be really proud of. I mean, you're just working yourself away. This one made me laugh: a suitor that won't give up. It's not romantic, it's super creepy, and yes, it's just as bad when it's a woman. I, I mean, y- you ever go up to your grandparents and ask, "Hey, how did you guys meet each other?" And then your grandpa says, like, "Well, I used to stalk Grandma outside the- outside her, [chuckles] her work and follow her home, and then, uh, by the eighth time I did it, that's when she fell in love with me." [chuckles] It's kind of like one of those stories. The Old West is another answer here for what's something everyone romanticizes but is actually terrible. Literally yesterday, we were watching, uh, A Million Ways to Die in the West. You gotta think about how actually horrible the Old West is. I, I'm glad that movie points that out. You die very early. The food, the living conditions, the medical care available. Can you imagine living in Arizona or Texas with no air conditioning? You can't shower, so you're gonna smell horrible. Red Dead Redemption 2, living in that era sounds like a complete and utter nightmare. [whooshing sound] Today is such a slow news day [chuckles] that I'm reading here about a cow that picked up a broom and scratched herself with it. This pet cow in Austria started using a broom to scratch herself, the first-ever documented case of bovine tool use. [chuckles] Yeah, that exists. For the first time ever, not only using a tool, but selecting which part to use when scratching at different parts of her body. Imagine being the farmer who has that. Was he just recording? Am I looking at a video here of the actual thing? Did they just know that this cow could do this and said, "All right, you know what? Let's gra- let's grab the c-- let's give the cow a broom. Let's pull out our phone. Record this." I'm watching... I'm, I'm actually watching the video here. Yeah, she's using the, uh, not the bristle end, but the stick end to scratch her belly, and she picked it up with her super long cow tongue. 

00:20:31,064 --> 00:21:06,264 [Speaker 0]
Again, it's a very slow news day. I'm literally talking about a cow picking up a broom. Let's move on. Let's play some Ice Nine Kills, "The Laugh Track." [whooshing sound] So a Florida man could go to prison for throwing a ketchup packet. Here's what happened: dudes- th- this dude is passed out in a bus terminal. A good Samaritan walks up like, "Hey, man, are you okay?" Florida man wakes up, chooses violence, and yeets the Heinz packet. Police say the victim, quote, unquote, "suffered," and I'm using that word very loosely, uh, two small ketchup stains on his jacket. 

00:21:06,264 --> 00:23:38,923 [Speaker 0]
It's a condiment accident, you know? Now, normally this would be a misdemeanor, AKA, "Hey, knock it off," but because this guy has a, uh, prior battery charge, the law says, "No, this is felony ketchup." Five years, potentially, in prison. Imagine explaining that in prison. "What, what, what are you in for?" "Heinz." [chuckles] You know? That is today's What the Headline right here on K-Bear one-oh-one. [whooshing sound] Nirvana, "Heart-Shaped Box" on K-Bear one-oh-one. You know, I went to California this past week. I left on January 16th, came back on the 23rd, and I think I went to LA on the 18th? That Sunday. Yeah, I think that was the day. Um, I wish it would've been this week, [chuckles] 'cause apparently, uh, last night, or it might have been a couple nights ago, I mean, who knows? I, I don't see the timestamp on it, but I, I do know it happened, like, either last night or the past couple nights. Anyway, Sydney Sweeney went up to the Hollywood Sign and hung bras off of it for, I'm, I'm assuming, some promotional campaign. Oh, it's for her lingerie line. It says here, uh, TMZ reports. Um, but apparently, a, a b- the, the Hollywood Sign, it's taken very seriously. You cannot get close to it at all. Like, there are alarms, and if you don't even- if you go... Like, uh, let's say, like, you ignore the alarm, a helicopter will come flying in and tell you to, "Hey, get out of there." Or they might shoot, they might arrest you. I mean, who knows? But [chuckles] I, I, I feel like this is so staged, 'cause like I just mentioned, there, there are alarms. There's ev- there's top-notch security with this Hollywood Sign. I, I can guarantee somebody allowed her to do this because, again, it's Sydney Sweeney. She was a part of a production crew that climbed up to the iconic landmark and strung bras from it. The whole stunt was filmed, and TMZ naturally obtained the video. She did secure a, a permit from FilmLA to shoot on location. There we go. Now I'm reading more into it. The issue apparently stems from a lack of approval from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which owns the Hollywood Sign and its intellectual property. I mean, who really cares? She hung bras off of it. It's not like she spelt out "Hollyweed" with the thing. R- remember when that happened? That was a huge ordeal. The Hollywood Sign is okay and all of that. Like, it's not necessarily, um, much to look at. Uh, I, I feel like if you were to ask me, What w- what's a bigger letdown, the Hollywood Sign or the Statue of Liberty? Hmm. 

00:23:38,924 --> 00:25:21,864 [Speaker 0]
I, I don't know, 'cause, uh, one's a full-on statue, the other one's just a sign. But when I went to, when I went to go see the Statue of Liberty when I went to New York, it was kind of like, "Oh, that's it? Really? I thought it would be bigger. I thought it'd be more like, I don't know, just something cool to see," but it's literally just a statue on an island in the middle of the ocean. Yeah, that's it. [whooshing sound] You know, as a kid, you're told, "Hey, don't touch that lighter. I'll take care of it," or, "I'll use it to light a candle," light a fire or whatever. I had protective parents. Maybe you were told as a kid, "Hey, you could use that lighter," and then you got burned, and you went, "Ouch! That hurt," and, you know, never did it again. Uh, but the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, the CPSC, they have announced a recall of about 7,500 of these TopK torch lighters. They were sold online on Amazon because they, they don't include required child-resistant safety features, creating a risk of fire and serious burns, potentially even fatal injuries. The black metal lighters came in, uh, two-packs with the word "honest" printed on the front, and [chuckles] they were sold on Amazon for this, this, this time period for, like, 15 bucks. But it's pretty funny how, like, uh, these lighters, these torch lighters sold on Amazon were recalled over fire and burn hazards. Like, no, no kidding. Again, it's a slow news day. I'm talking about lighters causing burns. Yippee! [upbeat music] Thanks for listening to Peaches Pit Party, the podcast. If you enjoyed the show, please share, subscribe, and rate the podcast.
