I was contemplating starting the afternoon show with some Bilmuri, but you know what? I went against it. There was the whole post on Life in Idaho Falls talking about country pop on Kay Bear. It was pretty funny. Because if you if you're not a part of that Life in Idaho Falls Facebook group, you should definitely join in.
Join our Facebook group, Kay Bear 101 Idaho Rock and Middle. Always good stuff in there too. We're back at it again. The 1st full work week of the year is January 6, 2025. I hope your weekend went extremely well for you.
Mine was laid back for the most part. I meal prepped yesterday for the first time in forever. We'll see how long I last do doing this type of thing. I'm just doing it the way that I want to. I oftentimes go to Reddit or Google for help, but there's so many things out there that it's overwhelming.
I mean, there's a whole subreddit called meal prep Sunday. Tons of posts of people doing what they wanna do. And I figured, you know what? I'll do the same thing. I'll do what I wanna do.
And I got the cheapest ingredients I could, got some whole grain pasta, got some, ground turkey that was real cheap. It comes in a tube, which, by the way, when you put that ground turkey, like the whole tube of ground turkey in the pan, it looks disgusting. It's a giant red cylindrical blob that you just have to then take a spatula or a knife and just, you know, break it apart, cook the whole thing through to where it's this ugly brown, and then you put it in each meal prep dish, of course. But, yeah, I did that. Pressure cooked some chicken for dinners with, sweet potatoes and broccoli.
We'll see if I'm, like, lethargic by Wednesday, if this diet's not enough food for me because, you know, I'm a bigger dude. I can't follow what other people follow. I have to eat more. It's like gassing up the semi with, only 14 gallons of gas and then expecting it to go on a full trip. It would suck.
I'm also following the strict schedule of waking up early, going to the gym, then going to work throughout the whole day, and then going back to the gym at night for lifting. You know, in the morning, I feel like cardio is the best thing, a double dose each day, keeping track of what I'm gonna work out, what I'm gonna do, eating the proper things. The goal is to lose weight. I know that's cliche for this time of the year. Everybody wants to do the same thing.
I just figured the goal is £80. I talked about this, I think, a year or 2 ago. Now it's really happening. Now it's like, okay. Something clicked in me.
Something turned on in me, and now I'm ready to go to lose 80. Hopefully, get back down to, like, 245. We'll see if I can get get to that. That was, like, my high school weight, and that was basketball practice every day. That was running every day.
That was a whole bunch of stuff every single day. We'll see if that happens. I should make it a thing, though, during the summer when I'm running outside, if listeners spot me just to honk at me or, you know, say things like run faster or something like that. Keeps me motivated. I would say to call me if you want to, but the phone lines, I believe, are still down.
They've been down all day today. So if you've been trying to get a hold of us, we apologize. We're not trying to avoid you. It's just the phone lines have been down for not only Kaibear, but all the other channels in the building. So once that's finally back up, I'll keep you updated on that.
And if I'm even doing to Peach Thrown this afternoon, I guess I'll find out with you. Rage Against the Machine, Breaking Benjamin, and more to continue our afternoon here together. It's K Bear 101. Well, United Van Lines, they've released the results of their annual list of the most moved from states in 2024 to give an idea of where Americans are going. The most common reasons for moving out of the state were a desire to be closer to family, retirement as well, a new job, company transfer.
For the 7th consecutive year, New Jersey saw the highest percentage of outbound movers followed by Illinois and then New York, The state with the highest percentage peep peal of people moving in was not Idaho. It was West Virginia followed by Delaware, South Carolina, the top 10 well, I'll just go over the top five states for inbound movers, West Virginia, Delaware, South Carolina, District of Columbia, and North Carolina. I wonder why exactly that area. Maybe because it's so much cheaper. You know?
Idaho's prices have gone way up. You You know? I'm suffering along with you. My rent keeps going up every single year, and it sucks. I moved here, and I got a little bit of the taste back in 2021 of how, you know, good Idaho prices were.
And then shortly after that, boom. They started skyrocketing. I get that rental increase letter in the mail every time. We feel it's necessary. Stupid.
Stupid. But I wonder what's going on in West Virginia out of all things. Because what exactly is there to do in West Virginia? I knew a a coworker from TMZ that moved from West Virginia to Los Angeles. And I think she's still with TMZ, but, yeah, she always talked about how boring it was over there.
Maybe, all the people moving in will spice it up. Who knows? Every time I go on TikTok, there's somebody live just unboxing not even unboxing, unpacking or going through, different card packs. Pokemon cards are the most popular. Then I see baseball.
I see 1 piece cards out of all fames, basketball. I mean, everybody's back into card collecting, going live on social media, doing some type of unpacking video, and there's tons of people watching this stuff. I even caught myself watching one of them just it was cool seeing the, Japanese Pokemon cards that this person was going through. And then I see, how Costco started selling Pokemon cards by, like, the box or whatever. I forgot exactly what I'm so lost when it comes to that type of thing, but there's giant boxes of Pokemon cards people are buying at Costco.
And I guess the craze has gotten so bad that people are not even collecting the cards to keep the cards. They're just looking to resell or even, try try their they're just trying their best to make the most money possible. So you see all these people going to Costco, lining up with carts full of these boxes of cards, hoping to find some sort of rare 6 figure card that is extremely hard to find, it's not gonna happen. It it ruins the whole thing because you have these kids out there that actually wanna collect the cards. They go to a place like Target or Costco, and they see the card sections just completely wiped out.
The worker has to say, oh, yeah. All these, people came through, bought them all. Ruins the fun. Ruins the fun. Peach's pit party on Kayboro 101, Idaho's only rock station.
My good friend, Christian, starts a new job today all the way out in Beverly Hills, California. He's driving from Los Alamitos, which is not that far distance wise, but with traffic and all of that, it's gonna be a good amount of time on the road. And I was reading here about the cities that have longest commutes, and sure enough, a place in California, longest commute, Palmsdale, which I have not heard of. Are they talking about Palmdale, and they miss I don't think I ever heard of Palmsdale, California. Is that closer to the north?
Is that why I haven't heard about it? Not nearby Lakeview. Oh, it's a city north of Los Angeles. So it is it is Palmdale. They just called it Palmsdale.
That's what I thought. I'm like, I've heard of Palmdale before, but Palmdale, California, they spend the people there are driving around just spend over 45 minutes commuting to work. 45 minutes. New York City dwellers, they spend around 41 minutes commuting. Jersey City residents need about 38 minutes to get to their jobs.
California cities take more than half of the top 10 longest commute times in the nation. Mind boggling. I find it so funny that now I'm so impatient when it comes to driving. I was talking to Victor not that long ago about this, when we're talking about how like, driving across town here in Idaho Falls is nothing, like 10, 15 minutes at most. But since you're we're so used to very short commutes around here, that feels like a long trip, especially if it's during, like, the prime time of driving.
Every time I leave here and go back to my place, there's tons of people out on the road because it's the prime time to drive. And I compare it to my commute from my parents' house to TMZ. Nothing even close. It just it's so nice driving around here. And every time I go back home, it surprises me, like, oh, yeah.
Driving around here is terrible. And this right here is your shot clock sports update. If you're looking for a sports trend to follow in 2025, keep an eye on Formula 1 racing out of all things. A recent survey found that f one is experiencing a fan revolution since, 2020. The average age of fans have dropped to 32, and female participation has doubled.
Shows like Drive to Survive and the influence of social media are pushing f 1 new to new heights around the world and even here in the US where the fan base is now 45,000,000. In pro football, seems here that quarterbacks have a special relationship with their offensive line. Definitely true. And Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield decided to honor the people that protect him with something inspired by his name. He had cookies made that looked like each member of the o line and handed them out after a practice along with huge mugs of whole milk.
The linemen said that they tasted delicious. And when you compare it to what Joe Burrow gave to his offensive line for Christmas, you're like, cookies out of all things. Joe Burrow gave his o line katanas with their names etched into them. That's cooler than a cookie, for crying out loud. A recent survey conducted by the website Oddspeedia ranked all, all of the NFL stadiums this season found the number one fan favorite is US Bank Stadium, home of the Minnesota Vikings.
I did see SoFi Stadium made it on on the worst part of this list, number 29 out of 30. Yeah. Yes. Most people are not liking the home of the chargers and the Rams for whatever reason. The worst stadium and I've heard this I've seen this result pop up in plenty of different surveys about the worst football stadiums.
And sure enough, Northwest Stadium, home of the Washington Commanders, is always the one that's dead last. The best one, Minnesota Vikings, then you have Lambeau Field for the Green Bay Packers, and then Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Indianapolis Colts. That does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on Kay Bear 101. Well, Victor shared the big news on our Facebook page, Kay Bear at 101 FM, about how raising canes is coming to Chubbock out of all places. Never Idaho Falls.
Always Chubbock or somewhere in Twin Falls, like, in and out going to Twin Falls. That was a weird weird place to choose. But, yeah, we posted the whole art Idaho State Journal article that you can check out and a lot of other people asking the same question, why not Idaho Falls? I mean, Chadwick's not too far. It's better than driving all the way out to Salt Lake City to go to Raising Cane's out of all places, but I did comment saying, finally, now we need to move on to a Trader Joe's.
And somebody commented back, said that's never gonna happen. Maybe Boise or Meridian. And it's like, well, there's already a few, I think, over in Boise. Maybe just one. I think there's a couple over in the Boise area.
Same with, Salt Lake City. There's a couple there. A lot of the big cities have them already. I just would love to have a Trader Joe's closer nearby because every single time I go to a concert, I'm not necessarily excited for the show. I'm more so excited to spend the night there in that area and then the next morning go to Trader Joe's and do a nice big stock and then drive all the way back to Idaho Falls to put all the new Trader Joe's products in my apartment.
I just finished my, bottle of olive oil that I bought from there. I love their their orange chicken. All the stuff in there is super cheap too. Much cheaper compared to any other store. I just I'm hoping they can somehow find a way to get to get a distribution center close to or closer to us, get a Trader Joe's nearby.
Man, that would be awesome. I think it was last year or I don't know how long ago it was, but I was talking about modern day refrigerators and how they're making them to where you can't put fridge magnets on them anymore, which sucks because I'm a guy who likes to have a lot of different fridge magnets. I have a ton on my freezer door. Every time Victor goes somewhere, he makes, sure to get me a fridge magnet. Every time I go somewhere, I make sure to get myself a fridge magnet, especially if, it's back home in a city I haven't been to in a while or if I go someplace that's weird, like around here, especially some tiny little town.
But the thing is is that if I try going to a place around here for a fridge magnet like, if I wanted to go get a Rexburg fridge magnet, I can't. Because if I go to the Rexburg Walmart, all they have are just generic Idaho fridge magnets or Yellowstone National Park because they know that some tourists from Yellowstone are gonna make their way over here and all that. But, yeah, I was reading here about this, new fridge that will let you know what fridge you're low on and can order it for you. Samsung's Vision AI Food Recognition Technology, which is in 2 new models due out this year, can identify what you have in your fridge and determine what, you're running low on. Then they use Instacart's product matching AI where it'll suggest items you might need and put them on a shopping list, which you can order from using a screen on the fridge.
I think that's pretty cool. That's that's awesome. Right? It's like the modern day Milkman. But, I could see some things going wrong with this with this whole Instacart thing.
I'm the one thing my parents take advantage of that I should is they go to Walmart or they don't even go to Walmart. They just well, they do go to Walmart eventually, but they order through the app, and then they show up and they just pack up the car full of groceries. I I kinda wanna do that instead of just hunting around the store. But I don't know. I feel like I might go around the store and find something that I want and then buy it because I just saw it, didn't see it on the app, but I saw it in real life.
There's pros and cons to all of this, but, overall, I'm I'm the most mad about these modern day refrigerators not allowing fridge magnets. Should I start a whole series of clothing, make refrigerators magnetized again? Is that the proper verbiage? I don't know. Well, I might need to ask this question for Depeche Tharon if the phones are working by the time Depeche Tharon starts.
I'll keep you updated on that, but I did see this one at the top of the AskReddit subreddit. What is a, what's a rich person thing you would be totally into if you became rich? And the top answer is the the answer that I was going to say, a personal chef. You know, there are plenty of celebrities out there that say, oh, if you eat right and you train hard, you'll get the physique that I have. And then there's actually the other ones that say, hey.
You know what? Most of you work 9 to 5, have families. You can't work out the way that we do because we're training and getting paid at the same time, and we have people making our meals for us. We have unlimited gym time. We're in our own with with a personal trainer.
Whole bunch of stuff. That's what I would that's my answer is I would get a personal chef, get a nutritionist right there on the spot, get I would have the personal chef actually be the guy who's planning out my meals. Perfect. Perfect. That's it.
What what other answers are there? I'm I'm curious. Buying stuff without looking at the price tag or having to check my bank account, that's another thing too. Going into, like, a well, I can't even go into a store to get clothes. I have to go online.
So if I go on my phone, I can just get all the band shirts that I want and not have to worry about a a clearance sale happening at that time. I can just go, you know what? I'm buying the shirt. I don't care if it's $30. Maybe I will ask this for the peach of the throne.
We'll see. So I think Victor on the morning show, the first break of his morning show, right around, like, 6 AM, he decided to, go through the top 10 most played songs on KA BAR of 2024. My prediction came out completely wrong, surprisingly. Number 2, I think oh, I forgot number 2 already. I might need to go back to that break and listen to it.
But I do know number 1 was not Bad Omens and Poppy with violence against nature. Turns out, number 1, Sleep Theory Fallout. That was the number 1 most played song on Kebir in all of 2024. I think it was then Bring Me the Horizon Kool Aid, if I'm not mistaken. That was number 2.
Then number 3 was Bad Omens and Poppy, Violence Against Nature. Bring Me the Horizon, top 10 Statues That Cried Blood made the top 10. But I, yeah, I somewhat forgot about Kool Aid. Because I think that came out in 2023, and then they finally put it on the album. The album finally came out, I should say, earlier this year.
So, yeah, look forward to that list on social media of the 100 most played songs here on Kay Bear. Should be on all of our social media platforms at Kay Bear 1 zero one FM. So our sister channel, z103, they have Idaho's number one baby bump going on with Mountain View Hospital's new NICU. If you're a, mom to be or if you know someone that is a mom to be, make sure to, let them know about this. If you submit a photo of you with your, with your baby bump, submit a photo of that to either the z one zero three app, the Vybe's 103 app, or the Throwback 103 app, you'll then get, entered into win a brand new nursery plus a newborn photo shoot of some sort as well.
It's a big prize. Lot a lot of money being spent into a a baby's nursery and all of that. So then this is this will help you out quite a lot. Make sure to sign up with our sister channel, z103. You can actually do so in our app.
So I have it set up to where if you go to the Caber app, the Alt app, or the Cannonball 101 app, you can just sign up. It'll take you directly to the z one zero three form, fill it out, and there you go. I just realized I need to put together my favorite albums, the best albums of 2024, in my opinion. Do people actually care about those? It's always up for debate.
I mean, it's all subjective. If you have a favorite album of 2024, I would love to hear about it. Well, you can't call right now because I think the the phones are dead for the most part. I got that update from Matti at the front desk not that long ago saying the phones are gonna be gone for all day today. So that kinda sucks because I the best part about doing this show is talking with all of you on the phone.
And now I'm really just a guy in in this little box that is the studio talking into a microphone all by myself. Hopefully, I'm entertaining you. Hopefully. I was trying to dig deep on different things and dawned on me. I'm like, oh, yeah.
That's right. I need to put out that graphic of my favorite albums of 2024 because that means something to somebody for some reason. Does it, though? If I put up my favorite albums of 2024, are people actually gonna gonna care? Are they gonna be like, okay.
That's that's neat. Move on. I feel like it's gonna be that. Everyone's gonna see and go, okay. Neat.
Let's move on here. Follow us on social media because there's there's better content on our pages compared to, well, my favorite albums of last year, K Bear 1 01FM. I I forgot about the story till till now. That's why I was laughing at the beginning part of the segment. I don't know if the the microphone was turned on as I was laughing, but I I I forgot about this Alabama man who stripped naked and jumped into the aquarium at a Bass Pro Shop store last year has taken a plea deal to stay out of to stay out of jail completely.
George Owens, he crashed his car into a pole in the parking lot and then stripped naked, ran into the store, and then jumped into the large aquarium. That's right. He did a cannonball into the tank. Did he yell out cannonball? Can I add that to cannonball imaging?
That would be great. Cops arrived, convinced him to, climb out. But as they approached him, he shouted at them and dove right back in. He eventually climbed out, fell to the concrete floor where he hit his head and was knocked unconscious. What a moron.
He's arrested, taken for a mental evaluation. He's not the first guy, and I'm sure I'm sure he won't be the last dude to jump into a Bass Pro Shop aquarium. People like this are gonna be the reasons why they just get rid of them completely, which sucks because they're they're a fun part of the store. I I have never been myself to the giant Bass Pro Shop Pyramid. My friends have been there, and they've taken photos and sent them to me.
But, one day, I'll go see the legendary Bass Pro Shop Pyramid instead of, you know, the ones over in Egypt. Forget about those. I was just talking to Maddie at the front desk because, she was bored up there. I'm like, you know what? Let me go try to at least talk to her for a little bit before I have to get back into the studio and do the show.
But, sure enough, I'm just we're talking about something, and the conversation goes to I don't know if it was big fears on stage or whatever it was, but I was talking about my biggest fears when it comes to, like, another stage announcement is, my voice cracking on stage like, oh, are you guys ready? Like, that type of thing. Or I go on stage, and now that I have the shaved head last time I was on stage, I had hair on my head. And I'm thinking, you know what? Like, what if they reflect the stage lights off of my head and it goes back into the audience and the whole audience is blinded?
Victor's been up on stage plenty of times, but he has like, he he leaves some hair on his head. Like, he has, like, some patches here and there. I decided this past weekend to use a razor for the very first time on my head, and I can tell you this. I looked like an idiot tapping my head, every so often, the feeling how soft it is. I was even doing it in public.
People were like, what is this guy doing? Why is he hitting himself in the head? I wasn't hitting myself, but I was just tapping the back of it. Because towards the back of the neck, you can feel it. It feels so weird.
I'm even touching it right now. I need to stop. You know how you get sponsored posts on Facebook all the time nowadays? I was just talking to Justin from 105 The Hawk about that because he he gets so frustrated with his Facebook feed that it's just sponsored posts, sponsored posts, post suggestions or, like, page suggestions that you should follow. Well, I keep getting this sponsored post for this company called Custom esignatures.
Basically, it's a whole thing dedicating to or dedicated to revamping your signature on your email. And I'm like, wait a minute. I know that name. That name sounds familiar. Is that really the guy?
And I looked it up, and sure enough, it is. A guy that I went to college with has started up this company, and that's all he does is he just generates a great email signature for you. And most of the comments are saying things like this is great, but other ones are, like, complete waste of time. This is stupid. Why would I spend money on this?
No one really cares, which is, you know, true. But that guy was a hustler ever since college. Like, back in that class, I think he went to the front of the class and said something to all the students, and I think he's just a businessman. And I look at his Instagram now, and I see he has, like, 15,000 followers. That should be a question for the peach throne.
Do you have a famous classmate? See, see what answers I get out of that. Well, it's real unfortunate. I got that email that, the phones are going to be down for the entire day from what it seems like, and doesn't seem that there's a possible solution here in the near future. So I'm wondering what's gonna happen exactly to Depeach Their Own.
Maybe I'll make it an online exclusive. Or gives me that, that excuse to go out into East Idaho, pick a city, and ask people on the streets might have pitched their own question. Something like that. What is a rich person thing that you would be totally into if you became rich? I just talked about this not that long ago, and I was looking at it, and it was about the same.
And not working, in particular, not working for money, you know, doing your own thing, get getting to live live life the way you want it to. I'd take an obscene amount of classes from elder law to beekeeping to scuba diving, rock climbing, and quantum physics, pharmacology, French cuisine. I'd know everything. Knowledge is power, certainly. I might post this question on our main Facebook page at kbert101fm if you wanna answer it over there.
I don't know if this is 100% legit or not, but this was posted by influencers in the wild, one of the best Instagram accounts you can follow to watch people just make a fool out of themselves trying anything for online cloud, but they, shared the headline that Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank aims to buy TikTok TikTok's US operations for an estimated $300,000,000,000. How much is that guy even worth? Kevin O'Leary net worth. His net worth is 400,000,000, and he's sitting to buy it for 300,000,000,000? Let's see here.
Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary announced he's close to purchasing TikTok's US business to prevent its ban on January 19th. He's partnering with oh, he's partnering with others. That's what that's what he's doing. He's partnering with former Dodgers owner Frank McCourt and will need president-elect Trump's assistant to complete the deal, the potential purchase estimated at $300,000,000,000. I mean, I'm hoping it kinda sticks around, but I'm also like, you know what?
What would happen if it went away? Like, so many people's lives who are supposedly influencers depend on that. Would they all have to move to Instagram? I feel like they've already made the move to Instagram. Like, they're still posting on TikTok, but they're ready just to make the jump over to Instagram and be on the reels page instead.
I guess we'll have to wait and see. Well, I sent Victor my official list of artists that I want to interview this year. I always wanna say next year, but it's actually this year, 2025. And it looks like the first person on that list might happen here in a couple of months. I say might because I don't wanna my hopes up too badly, but, they'll be starting their tour here soon.
Unfortunately, not coming anywhere close, but once they make it over to the US, that's when I'm hoping that I can try my best to be like, hey. Can I, potentially talk to this guy? And I'm hoping to interview Matt Tuck of bullet for my Valentine. That is my first, first hopeful completion of my 2025 interview list. I think I also had Matt Hayfee on that list.
Try both at the same time. Why not why not do my first, 1v2 interview? See how that would go. That would be more so just just to hang out, both mats of prolific bands, you know, absolutely, who are who are absolutely killing it. I'm, again, so mad that that tour is not coming anywhere close.
Trivium and Bullet from a Valentine with, is it with August Burns Red? August Burns Red was one of the best bands I have seen live in a while. Those guys can shred. If you ever wanna feel bad about how you don't have any musical talent, go see those guys live. Speaking of concerts, make sure to go check out that concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com.
