Alrighty. It's Friday. Let's get to it. Alrighty. It's Friday.
Thank Thank goodness. December 27, 2024. Hope all is well with you. It's been eventful the past day or 2. I've had some, water issues at my place.
Had some car issues happen yesterday. Just a whole bunch of nonsense, a whole bunch of stuff all at once. When it rains, it pours. Right? Found out the water at my place is not oh, I'm I'm getting no hot water overall.
Getting zero hot water. Tried taking a shower last night. It was cold. I'm like, you know what? Maybe I'll just wait till tomorrow morning.
I tried taking a shower this morning, and sure enough, still no hot water. Had to leave here for about 10 minutes or so to find out the entire water heater needs replaced. That's always fun. The city has to shut off the water, go into my place, completely replace that whole entire thing. Luckily, I don't have to pay for that myself.
I just, you know, pay the rent every month, which is not fun. I'm anticipating April to come around, and I get that email. We feel it's necessary for a rental increase. I have two choice words that I can't say on the air for any email like that. Anyway, if you wanna get a hold of me, you know the number.
208-535-1015. We'll continue here in just a few with a perfect circle breaking Benjamin and more on KBAR 10 1. It takes a lot to be a delivery driver of any kind, Amazon, especially, trying to deliver all those packages before Christmas. The holidays are potentially the worst for any delivery driver out there, I would assume. Right?
Well, I found this, article from fortune.com. Police say this Amazon driver ditched 80 packages in the woods before Christmas because they were stressed. Eighty packages. I wonder how they found it. That's what I'm trying to figure out.
If they ditched them in the woods, they must have done done a terrible job hiding all of them, or maybe someone spotted. Maybe there's, you know, maybe there's, like, a a camera on the car. There has to be. Right? There has to be some sort of tracker on the Amazon vehicle, and they're like, yeah.
This, one specific driver kept going to the woods frequently or maybe just went to the woods, which is very odd for them to do so. Maybe they just, used the restroom. I don't know. Then the police proceeded to go over there and see all these Amazon boxes behind a tree. They went, oh, this is not supposed to be here.
It says sergeant Sean Robert from the Lakeville Police Department was on patrol when he spotted oh, okay. So it was hidden in plain sight. He spotted 3 large Amazon totes of more than 80 packages just sitting in the woods. What was this sergeant doing in the woods? Just looking for hoodlums that were out there, potentially teenagers, just walking around?
He was there early Sunday morning around 2 AM in Southeastern Massachusetts. Sergeant just found those 3 Amazon totes. The mystery was short lived. An Amazon driver visited the Lakeville Police Department the following day, admitted he that he left the packages on the side of the road. Oh, so it wasn't even in the woods.
It just said he left them on the side of the road close to the woods. Not even behind a tree, little to no effort. Wow. You deserve to get caught. You know, every year around Christmas, there's always that joke on Facebook saying, how did the McCallisters afford that giant house in Home Alone?
Well, the official director of the Mooney of the movie. The movie was on the Awards Chatter podcast, and he said back then, John Hughes and I had a conversation about it. We decided to on what the jobs were, Kate McCallister, the mom, played by Catherine O'Hara, was a very successful fashion designer, which is where the in the McAllister basement came from. Meanwhile, Peter McAllister, played by John Heard, may have worked in advertising, but it's unclear. The father could have been based on John Hughes' own experience, worked in advertising, but he says I don't remember what the father did.
One thing is for sure, though, the McCallisters were not in the mob according to the director. Not organized crime even though there was, at the time, a lot of organized crime in Chicago. How the McCallisters were able to afford their iconic enormous house, which is located in Winnetka, Illinois, has been at the forefront of Internet debates year after year around the holiday season, a time when most people watch Home Alone. They go, how did they afford that house? Well, there you go.
There's your answer. When exactly is it the right time to take down your Christmas decorations, put away your Christmas tree, or if you have a real tree, throw it out to the front yard? You know? I took down my Christmas tree last night. I meant to do it, late on Christmas, but I had my friend Bryson over.
We hung out, then I went back to his parents' place, hung out with all of them. By the time I was done with that, it was around 9:30. I'm like, you know what? I'll take care of it tomorrow. And sure enough, I did.
I'm glad I did. It's nice and open my apartment again. I do like my Christmas tree being up, but it gets in the way, blocks, like, half of the path to the kitchen, so I gotta, like, do almost, like, a sideways walk into the kitchen. So it's the best place to put it, unless I find somehow, some way a new place to put it. Maybe I'll put it in my second bedroom next year.
There's more room in the corner for it there, I would think. Put the presents in there and all of that. Just keep my living room nice and open. I don't know. I I I I'll I'll figure that out next year.
So that's that's a next year problem for sure. Well, this is going to be a different Shot Clock Sports Update because I found this list here from New York Magazine, the 10 biggest sports stories of the entire year. You know, it's December 27th, 2024 is almost over. Let's briefly go down the, top ten here. Juan So to signs the biggest contract ever.
That was nuts. Right? There was, like, 15 years, $800,000,000, something like that. Not exactly sure. I don't even wanna go through all 10.
Let's just go through some of these here. Shohei Ohtani's wild and ultimately perfect year. One of the best players to have ever played baseball, doing so well in the Dodgers, bringing home the Dodgers, world championship. That was really cool. I'm excited to see him do the same thing next year.
Jake Paul and Mike Tyson remind us that we're all morons. I like how they put that in the headline. I I figured it was gonna be a bust for sure, and I still stupidly watched it. Luckily, I didn't spend any money. I just watched it on Netflix and said, wow.
That was a waste of time. The Chiefs go back to back much to the NFL's delight. You know, everyone now saying the Chiefs games are rigged. Sports gambling starts to fray a bit. I don't know what that's all about.
But, yeah, this is a pretty decent list. Number 1, Simone Biles, Snoop Dogg in the 2024 Olympics. That was certainly the highlight of the year. And, obviously, Caitlin Clark and the explosion of women's sports because of her coming to the WNBA and really just having the spotlight on her. I'm hoping more and more people watch women's basketball next year.
That does it for your, very odd shot clock sports update right here on Kay Bear 101. I think I've asked the question before. What's the worst injury you've ever had? I think for me, it was breaking my ankle. My junior year of high school, I landed on a teammate's foot.
My foot went completely sideways, chipped the bone or tore the ligament, then chipped the bone because of that. I can't imagine any other worse pain. I don't wanna go through any other worse pain than that. I'm reading the story here. I gotta I gotta shred lightly with this about this UFC fighter named Mathias Mendonca.
I believe that's how you say his name. He, got kicked in the downstairs area, and he felt this very absurd pain. And he had to be rushed to the hospital because, well, he fractured what's down there. He he basically had, like, a lump. They had to do a surgery.
And, yeah, it turns out he fractured the entire thing. That sounds like the worst pain possible. What what like, what's the worst pain somebody can go through? Let me ask chat gpt. What's the worst pain you can endure?
Kidney stones, cluster headaches, childbirth, complex regional pain syndrome. Oh, these all sound horrible. I'm glad I just chipped my bone to my ankle, and that's about it. Just to give you the heads up, the noon hour of madness and mayhem powered by Jalisco's is available on demand anywhere you get podcasts. Earlier today, I uploaded the conversation we had with dog face 208 back when he was in studio with us in June of 2022, I believe.
That was a fun time. That was a real fun time with him in studio. You can listen to that. You can also listen to, yesterday's show. I'll be sure to get, today's noon hour up on demand as well.
For those that were not knowing at all what I meant by my Facebook question on the, Kay Bear 101 Idaho Rock and Middle Facebook group asking, who would you rather pick, Victor Wilt or Travis Kelce? I'm sure most people were like, I don't, I don't know what they're talking about, what he's talking about, but I'll just vote for Victor. Because it ended up with, like, a 113 votes for Victor, 6 for Travis Kelce. I'm shocked that some people still chose Travis Kelce. Like, I'm sure they had no idea what that question was about.
But you can catch up on all the noon hour lore on the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem powered by Jalisco's The Podcast on Demand wherever you get podcasts. That's right. I forgot Squid Game season 2 was released yesterday, and I've been meaning to watch it. Yesterday or last night, I just took down all the Christmas decorations. Didn't feel like just watching a TV or a movie or anything like that.
I just felt like taking care of what I needed to take care of. And yesterday, it was already an eventful day in the morning. My head was hurting. I was stressed out. I did not wanna go through anything else or try to attempt to watch a movie and end up turning it off or anything like that whatsoever, but I'm excited to check it out this weekend.
Squid Game season 2, I think there's even a video game based off of it. It's pretty sad that, you know, Hollywood is not necessarily all that original anymore that we have to depend on other countries putting out great content for us. Squid Game season 1 was by far one of the biggest things when it came out, and now I'm extremely excited to see how season 2 works out. Makes me wonder why this guy went back to the stupid game in the first place. You think you would be, like, emotionally distraught and never wanting to come anywhere close to Squid Game at all, but we'll see what happens in season 2.
And I won't will not spoil it on the air. I won't talk about it. Well, maybe I'll talk about how I'm feeling about the show, but there won't be anything more than that. I don't wanna ruin the show for you either. Yeah.
It was yesterday I posted a meme about we should start seeing Valentine's Day crap in stores any minute now. Sure enough, I go into Dollar Tree last night because for some reason, you know my habit of wanting to have wanting to have some sort of sweet after dinner, some sort of treat after dinner, and I was like, you know what? For some reason, I'm craving lemon heads out of all candies. Lemon heads. So I I know Dollar Tree has them, and I figured I'd be you know, I'd I'd go to Dollar Tree, go get some paper towels and other stuff too, go see what they have for real cheap because, you know, Dollar Tree is great and all that.
But, sure enough, right as I walk into the store, right there on the right hand side, all Valentine's Day crap, the day after Christmas. I'm sure they had it up before Christmas too. It didn't seem all that, like, new. It seemed like it was there right up front, Valentine's Day, and I'm sure Walmart will follow suit and, oh, man, it's gonna suck seeing all that overpriced chocolate right there in the front. Yikes.
It's that very weird week when nothing's going on. It's almost like that time portal into the next year. I I don't really like this week all that much because I never really have any plans for New Year's, and I always wanna try to have plans for New Year's, and then New Year's Eve comes around and nothing happens. I treat it just like every other day. I go to bed early.
I don't even say it till midnight. I just go to bed at 10 PM because there's nothing for me to do. Like, I just go, you know, I'm tired. I'll I'll I'll put down the Xbox controller, wake up tomorrow, treat it as any other day. Are we off on the first two?
I think we might be. I do like the days off of work, but then there are sometimes where, like, man, you know what? I need to go to work and get things done, and I think I'm planning on doing that this weekend. Just spending the entire weekend here doing what I need to do because it's been rather hectic the past couple of days with whole bunch of stuff that came out of nowhere. Really, life hits you that way.
When it rains, it pours. Like I said at the beginning part of the show, It just it sucks when things happen like that, really. But, yeah. Yeah. No.
I'm I'm excited to see what happens in 2025, to see what what bands decide to do what. Should we do an end of the year, K Bear bingo type game and put out our predictions and look at it, like, at the end of the, at the end of next year, see what actually happened, see what didn't happen? I feel like it'd be awful if we did, like, the Khabare deathpool or deadpool, whatever it's called, and talk about which celebrities do you think will die in 2025. Oh, man. That would that wouldn't be good, but at least predict some weird things happening.
Right? Something's bound to happen next year, for sure. I see stories pop up like this all the time about a person returning a way overdue book to the library, and you wonder what exactly the library is gonna do after the book's been gone for, what, 50 years? This library informed a man that he could keep a book he had checked out and kept overdue for half a century. I mean, what is the library going to do if it is late?
They're They're gonna continuously call you and then fine you every time that it's late, but then oh, do they even find you? I wonder how do you have to have a credit card on file? I haven't been to the library in years. Years. I've been meaning to go to the one in Idaho Falls, but I I mean, I feel like that's the way to get people to return books is you keep, like, their credit card information on file.
I don't think you can do that at all, but that way, if it's a day late, they just charge you, what is it, like, 10¢ or something like that to to, hey. You gotta return the book. So you're telling me you can just keep a book from a library as long as you want. They won't throw that big of a fuss and then many years later have, like, I don't know, your son or your grandkid return it and then go, hey, you know what? You can just keep that book.
Is it the way the best way to start a book collection, to start taking from the library very slowly? But please don't do that. I'm only joking. I'm only joking. I have said it many times before, there are people who are just straight up elitists when it comes to Christmas music, very similar to metal music.
There's a lot of people out there that enjoy listening to Christmas music all the time, and I mean all the time. I can't stand it. I'll turn it on occasionally, but am I gonna sit there and listen to a music channel play consistently over and over and over again? Definitely not. I'll have it on when I'm wrapping presents or if I'm driving around and I wanna look at the lights, I'll turn on Christmas music there.
But I think I mean, if I was in charge, I would make it the day after Thanksgiving to Christmas and then back to normal music. If I was ever in charge of a radio station that's in charge of Christmas music, I wouldn't be like this lady who I just saw commented on Facebook on a, I forgot what post it was. But this lady named Lisa, which that name is also I feel like maybe a a tad worse than Karen. You see a lot of Lisa's in the news causing trouble. No.
I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Christmas isn't over until January 6th according to Lisa. But then she says, but it's all good. Spotify has Christmas channels all the time, so you do your commercial Christmas.
I'm over here celebrating real Christmas. Don't you love an online departure? Isn't that fun? I'm going to Parkway Drive. You know, that consistent thing of, like, nobody cares.
You know, People will get mad no matter what, especially when it comes to radio. There's people mad about certain songs, certain artists, certain genres being played. I mean, a lot of artists as of late have been doing this, country core stuff. You know how many times I've heard why y'all playing country music on K Bear? And it's like, well, I I don't wanna explain the whole backstory to you about how, you know, a lot of these metal artists are just doing this cowboy core stuff because it's a, common theme right now, and we're playing what's popular, what people are streaming, and it's not necessarily unpopular.
There's a lot of people streaming that music. There was even, somebody, talking to me about the, Cory Marks song, Make My Country Rock, which I didn't think had a place here on KBR at all. But I think Victor did a voting poll. Most people wanted it, so we decided to include it in the playlist. Majority rules when it comes to, our playlist around here, which, by the way, by the way, if you ever want to provide your feedback on any song that we play here, you can always use the Kay Bear 1 zero one app and hit the thumbs up or the thumbs down.
Like, that one lovely lady that that called in for the peach throne not that long ago, and she was like, I don't like falling in reverse. Anytime I hear one of their songs, I give them a thumbs down, which is what you should do. Be like her. Get the Cabir app. Let us know your feedback.
You know, people take tipping way too seriously, and I mean way too seriously. We just had that post in the Cabir 101 Idaho rock and metal Facebook group that was just out of nowhere. Like, hey. If you can't tip, don't go out. And there was over 200 comments on that post of people debating that.
Oh, man. That was a fun time. And now I just saw a story all around tipping about this, one lady, a 22 year old delivery driver for Marco's Pizza. She was working out in Florida at one of the businesses or one of the Marco's Pizza in Florida, and she was a she delivered a pizza. She delivered a whole order, $33 worth of food, a pizza and wings, and she received a $2 tip.
So you know what she did? She didn't just take the tip and said, you know what? Forget that order. Hopefully, I get a bigger tip on the next one. No.
She instead finished her shift, clocked out, returned later that night to stab that customer 14 times. Fourteen times. Do the cops count that, or does she do that when she's stabbing the person? You know, 1, 2, 3. It goes until 14.
Alright. I'm done. Falls to the ground. No. Most likely, the cops just looked at the body and said, oh, there's 14 stab wounds.
I mean, that's a lot. Yikes. I mean, a $2 tips, a horrible thing for a $33 order. What's 15% what's what's is it, like, 20%? What's 20% of 33?
6.6. So you should have just given the lady $7. She would have been happy, and you wouldn't have been stabbed. I'm hoping the person's okay. Luckily, the late the person who did that, the little girl now in jail, no longer at that job any longer.
Do you think Marco's Pizza would give her some free pizza after that? Something? Maybe, like, free pizza for a year all because of this lady? You would have to do something. Right?
You're responsible. The name of the business is in the article. This lady just made Marco's Pizza's reputation around Florida a whole lot worse. I watched a lot of movies as of late. I've watched about, like, 4, which is a lot.
Right? Brawl and Cellblock 99, great movie, very dark, very gritty. Watched, The Dead Don't Die. That one was mid. It wasn't all that great.
Then what else did I watch? Oh, I might have just watched 3 movies, not 4. The 3rd movie I watched, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. There were so many people hyping that movie up saying it was the the greatest comedy, the greatest Christmas comedy you could watch. Watched it, and I was like, that was it.
It was bad. About 45 minutes in, I I wanted to turn the movie off, and I was watching it on Christmas Eve. Like, I have to watch a Christmas movie on Christmas Eve and watch the full thing and then go to bed to sort of mimic what my family and I used to do back at home. And now that I'm on my own, I still wanna keep that tradition alive. I know Victor's against traditions, but I do like my family's Christmas traditions of watching a Christmas movie on Christmas Eve, going to bed, being told not to go into the living room at during the night.
They're like, don't leave your room at all throughout the night and then, come morning. I can just go out there and see what what Santa brought type of thing. It's my family's Christmas tradition. I'm hoping to go back home for Christmas next year. I did not like Christmas at all this year.
It felt so un Christmassy. It's not even funny. But today's question for to peach their own, what movie did you go into with high hopes only to walk out feeling totally let down? It can be a movie watched at home and not just in the theater. I mean, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation certainly is my answer for this question for sure.
208-535-1015. Let me know your answer. Call in now. Hey, K Bear. How's it going?
Not too bad. Alright, James. Now what movie was just a major letdown after you thought you you heard all this great stuff about it, or maybe it was you just had high hopes and, it was a major letdown? The the one of the first Jason Statham movies I ever saw, like Crank. I love that movie.
What are you talking about? Yeah. It just it just didn't do it for me. It's a funny one for sure. It's it's a weird concept.
Crank 2 is even crazier than Crank 1. Yeah. No. I might have to go back and try watching it again because I think I was, like, 16 or 17 the first time I tried watching it. And it, yeah, it just didn't do it.
I think I watched it in a film class, one of those, dumb classes I took in college. They're like, yeah. Let's watch Crank, and then sure enough, I thought it was hilarious. That was a great movie. It's better than most, action films that are taken actually seriously compared to that one.
Yeah. Well, that that's why I love going back and watching a lot of the old, eighties action movies, like, the eighties nineties action movies because those were just funny because they were trying so hard. The cheesy one liners from Arnold? Can't get enough of those? Oh, yeah.
Or, Dolph Dolph Lundgrens. Yeah. One of my favorite dumb action movies is, The Expendables. And he, Oh, yeah. Shoots that grenade launcher at one of the bad guys and goes a little low and blows them up.
Yep. Yeah. No. My my favorite one, like, gotta be, Demolition, man. Yeah.
I haven't seen that one. I need to watch it. I mean, there's so many movies and TV shows I'm trying to catch up on. It's crazy. What movie did you go into with high hopes only to walk out feeling totally let down?
I'm not a movie goer, and, technically, I slept through the Fast and the Furious 10 at home watch unit. That title itself just sounds like a letdown. Fast and Furious 10. I did get kind of frustrated. Somebody made the great joke online saying they should have called that movie Fast 10 your seat belts, but they ignored that and just called it Fast and Furious 10.
How how how uncreative. And, technically, I guess they're gonna make it Fast 11? Yeah. They're gonna continue making those movies until, you know, somebody major dies again, and I'm sure then then they'll wrap it up. Once, Vin Diesel's like, I've had enough or, you know, maybe he unfortunately has an accident and can't do it or something like that.
Who knows? Maybe they'll have fast, 28 in a couple of years. Hey, K Bear. How's it going? Good.
What movie did you go into with high hopes, only to walk out feeling totally let down, man? Pretty much any of the new Star Wars. Yeah. There was one particular one that I saw that I mean, it's probably the the prequel one. I think it's the last Star Wars movie I saw in the theater, whichever one that had the, CGI Carrie Fisher to make her look young and how she was in back in the older days Yeah.
That that movie just kinda stunk to me. No. The only one was the one where they had the what is it? The pod racing. That one was halfway interesting, but some of the others drug on.
Just they were trying to steal time. I just I'd not and I loved the first three. I mean, I mean, went to the theaters as a kid. Just I mean, it was a thing, these new ones. Just kinda disappointing in my eyes.
Yeah. They're definitely trying to milk the the already dried up cow. Like, it's it's they're trying to their best to make so much money off of it because now it's owned by Disney, and I'm sure they'll continue to make Star Wars movies very similarly to how they're making all those Fast and Furious movies till finally nobody shows up to see them, and then they go, okay. Maybe we should move on to something else. Right.
And Disney paid big bucks to Lucasfilms for that. I mean, it wasn't I mean, you know, yeah. They're gonna try to get it back. But, yeah, that's that's the one that came to mind. I mean, just really the later ones just really to me, it's just almost grabbing any character and trying to pull a plot out of it and really not all that great.
