Well, good afternoon. It's pre Friday, AKA Thursday, January 16, 2025. If you haven't heard, our phones are back up and running. You can call us at 208-535-1015. I was reading responses here from this question on Reddit asking what's a dead giveaway if someone grew up an only child.

I I'm so glad I didn't grow up with annoying siblings. I have the best younger sister anyone could ever ask for. As a matter of fact, I was the annoying sibling if you could believe that. She did outshine me when it comes to school, extracurriculars, much better looking compared to me. You know, she's overall much better than me.

Right? But I'd rather deal with that than some younger sibling or even worse, multiple younger siblings go through my belongings and so on. You know, most people who know me know I get extra irate if someone touches my stuff, moves my stuff without telling me. It's hard to believe how old my sister is getting. She's 24.

She's gonna be 24 in the next couple of oh, not the next couple of days. Next month, almost a month from now, she'll be 24 years old. And, of course, I only see her as the, you know, the little girl with pigtails that used to just mind her business in my parents' place. Now she's a kickboxing instructor. She graduated college.

She's also a TikTok, quote, unquote, influencer. My dad was telling me she got an email from some place in Southern California that was inviting her to show up to their event because then she would post about it on her TikTok and that would hopefully, inspire people to show up to this place. I think she has, like, 8,000 followers, but she had this amazing idea to give scare actors, like, at a haunted car wash, for example. She would give them friendship bracelets, and that series of videos on her TikTok has millions of views. You know, too bad TikTok might be going away this Sunday, but she could just move right over to Instagram.

That, and I also don't believe TikTok is going anywhere, I predict. Now here's a peach's prediction that last minute, maybe tomorrow or Saturday, there will be some sort of major buy in TikTok stays. You know? I think there was a a a story that was popping up as I was getting ready for the show today about how Trump was, wanting to extend the date to about 60 to 90 days to try to come up with some sort of deal. He's wanting TikTok to stay as well, but staying here to stay here in America.

That's that's about as political as I'll get here on this program. Anyway, I got, Poppy Architects and More to continue our afternoon here together. It's k Bear 101. Is anyone else also tired of celebrities giving their kids horrible names? Like, when I plan on having a kid, I want to name that I want to have give them a unique name, but it's a it's a normal name.

It's not gonna be like something ridiculous. I'm looking at Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Britney. They just had their 3rd child. And this kid, I believe, its name is Bronze? No.

Wait. The Mahomes kids now names are Sterling, Bronze, and now Golden. So there already was a kid named Bronze, and then they named the the younger sibling Golden. Could you imagine how you would feel as a kid being told, hey. Your name's bronze, and then sure enough, well, you you get ready for your sister.

Is it a sister? Is it a girl? I think it is. But their dogs are also silver and steel. The dogs, I understand.

You can give them silly names. Pets can get silly names. You know? Some of those pet names are fantastic. Sometimes I'll go to the Snake River Animal Shelter website and go look at the different pet the animals' names, and some of the cats' names are great.

I think at one point, there was a cat named Peaches there or it might have been a dog. And there were multiple people, I mean, multiple people telling me to go adopt this dog. This the animal shelter should have just teamed up with me to, you know, have me spread the word that Peaches is up for adoption. And you could adopt a dog named Peaches. You can't get me, but you can get the dog named Peaches who is much more well behaved.

But, I mean, come on. Naming your kids. So what was it again? Sterling, bronze, and golden. Golden Mahomes.

Don't even get me started on this other football player that I saw over the weekend. This is a legitimate player. His name's Poop Johnson. Well, that's not his real name. His his nickname is Poop.

Corey Poop Johnson. Okay. I thought for some reason, I thought it was his real name because there were so many articles saying, welcome Poop Johnson to this team. And it's like, what? Poop Johnson?

I love how every band is either cryptic online like I talked about yesterday, or they post things like big things coming, and then it ends up being a letdown. Well, Kenny Chesney, I guess, did say something along the lines of, like, hey. A big thing is coming soon. And then I saw he announced a residency, 12 shows that kick off Memorial Day weekend at the Las Vegas Sphere. And I'm thinking, why would you wanna book Kenny Chesney for that venue?

You'd wanna have some sort of visually appealing band. And I'm not saying, like, the artists themselves. I'm saying, like, you know, graphics on the the whole sphere, things like that. Things are gonna trip you out. Like, Tool at the Sphere would be absolutely insane.

Muse, I've heard they're one of the greatest live bands you can see. That'd be insane to see them at the Sphere. How about get get someone in there that's gross like a cannibal corpse? You put those graphics on the on the walls of the Sphere. Freak everyone inside and outside the venue out.

I don't know if you're familiar at all with the Costco guys, Big AJ, Big Justice, the little kid that's known as the Rizzler. They had this pop song that, you know, what was used as a meme for the most part. But now I guess as of, like, last night or this morning, they released a new metal single called breaking the boom meter. It's not all half bad, and I was thinking about playing it as my, I'm picking the day tomorrow just to make everyone upset. Do it call it the fun Friday twist.

I I don't mind those guys. I think they're fun. I think they're unique. They're silly. A lot of people are so annoyed by them, and I think, you know what?

It's not that bad. It's it's funny just to hear people go boo or the or, like, I think Costco loves those guys because that without I I don't think they were a Costco plant. I think they just were one of those Costco cult following families. You know, they love the deals at Costco. They they only shop at Costco.

They always talk about it online. They're just big fans of the store and decided to make a series of videos based around the store. And magically, now they have millions of views. And the dad, he's a wrestler, and he was, he was wrestling in AEW at one point. My profile picture now on Discord I like to be stupid on Discord.

The big show, the wrestler, the former big show is now known as his real name Paul White on AEW. He led this little kid known as the Rizzler to the ring. And if you're familiar with wrestling, you know, the big show is like 7 foot, £400. This kid is tiny, tiny, tiny, small little, you know, chubby kid. He's leading them out to the ring.

My friend thought it was funny to Photoshop my face onto the big show on that picture. So that that's been my profile pic on Discord for the longest time. And sometimes my friends and I have very serious conversations on Discord. Like, there's a whole venting channel and all of that, and I'll talk to them about my issues and stuff, and we'll go back and forth. And meanwhile, my profile pictures are photoshopped my my face photoshopped onto a wrestler leading a little kid to the ring.

And this right here is your Shot Clock Sports Update. The world of NIL deals is getting a bit feistier when it comes to college football. UAB head coach Trent Dilfer did a radio appearance where he talked about how hard it was to keep up financially with other schools in the American Athletic Conference. He then said there were 2 teams in particular that will go out to go to their roster and sign double or triple what these guys can make on our roster and make them backups on their roster so we can have them. Now Dilfer said we could he couldn't he wouldn't name the teams, but then Tulane coach John Sumrall shared a clip of Dilfer's appearance and tagged the social media accounts of Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield and South Florida coach Alex Golesh.

Sumrall also included eyeball and wink emojis in his post. I tell you, there's a a ton of politics involved when it comes to collegiate sports. In pro football, the city of Cleveland is suing the Browns over their proposed move to a new domed stadium in suburban Brook Park, which is about 20 minutes away from Cleveland. The lawsuit invokes the Model law named after Art Model who once owned the Cleveland Browns and moved them to Baltimore. The the law requires teams using tax supported facilities to give 6 months notice or get permission before moving.

The situation will be something to keep an eye on as it would get it could get ugly with both sides digging in their heels. The Indianapolis Colts, they're set to make history by hosting the NFL's first ever regular season game in Berlin, Germany. The Colts will be the designated home team in that game, which will be played at the at the iconic Olympic Stadium. The road team date and kickoff time will be announced when the full NFL schedule is released. That does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on KayBear 101.

There's more talk in the news about flying cars, which we already can't drive as it is on the roads. I can't imagine a flying car, multiple flying cars going around. The Chinese automaker Xpeng Xpeng seems to be getting closer to manufacturing a flying car. This thing called the Aero HT Land Aircraft Carrier, what a name that is, combines an SUV with a lightweight quadcopter designed for vertical takeoff and landing. It's it can supposedly stay airborne for over 30 minutes per flight.

That's nothing. That's nothing. And it's scheduled to hit the market by 2026 with a price tag of around $270,000. Now I could see owning this would be great if you're in a city like LA and you're leaving a concert at what was what's formerly called the Staples Center now, the crypto.com arena. Like, let's say you're leaving a Lakers game, for example, or a concert, and you don't wanna battle the traffic.

Like, you don't wanna leave early because you don't wanna miss the encore, but you also don't wanna battle the traffic on the way out, which absolutely sucks. I'm not looking forward to the traffic in and out of the Rose Bowl for ACDC in April. I might tell my dad be like, hey. Well, it's not gonna be out till 2026, but we should definitely, maybe get helicoptered in and out. Be like that ritzy family that gets helicoptered in.

You can use this car to vertically take off from the stadium. Go about, I don't know, 30 minutes or so to where the car can't fly for, for I don't know why it can't fly. Is it just because it just it dies out on you? Like, what would happen if I were to fly it for over 30 minutes and I went over the time? Would it start beeping and then just fall right to the ground?

Or would it let you know, like, ahead of time, like, hey. You only have this amount of time left to fly? But I was saying, like, you could just fly out of LA and land on the highway or land somewhere, like, on a street maybe, and then make your way back to the highway and drive off. That would help out with some of the commute. Right?

Kobe was the smartest dude with flying a helicopter all around LA, going to and from places. That guy would that that whole move man, if I was rich enough, I totally would. I totally would helicopter everywhere. I'm sure you've seen the news already. I posted about it on our Facebook page at Kay Barrel 101 FM.

David Lynch, the filmmaker behind Blue Velvet Mulholland Drive, the TV series Twin Peaks, unfortunately passed away at the age of 78 today. He it was revealed last year that he was diagnosed with emphysema. His family announced his passing in a Facebook post basically saying it's with deep regret that we, his family, announced the passing of the man and the artist David Lynch. We would appreciate some privacy at this at this time. There's a big hole in the world now, and he's no longer with us.

His career spanned 5 decades, quite successful. Beginning with Eraserhead back in 1977. He also had the Elephant Man. And then he also, of course, went on to make Twin Peaks with Mark Frost that earned him 14 Emmy nominations, winning only 2. And I was thinking about it.

Like, were awards like that, like the Emmys, Tony's, Oscars, especially the Grammys don't necessarily mean anything. It's more so the impact that you have on the masses more than anything else. Those dumb awards, like I said, especially the Grammys aren't anything anymore. Alright. So I was already contemplating going back home because I I originally wanted to go back home for a week, go see the family, go see the friends.

This month in January, the fire started. And I went, maybe now is not the best time. Maybe I should wait until 1st week of February. Maybe I should wait just a little bit more. And then I looked at my bank account.

I'm like, well, I don't really have the money to just buy a plane ticket all of a sudden. And I was I was feeling bad for maybe waiting till April, but now my friend Jose just sent me this in the group chat saying there has been a sewage spill in Laguna Beach because I thought, thought, you know what? Maybe LA is off the table. I don't necessarily want to go towards LA with all the smoke and stuff. Have my friends, Matt and Jose, drive down to Orange County, come hang out in that area like we did last time I was at home.

We went to Laguna Beach and Laguna Beach just had a giant sewage spill. I'm talking nearly 500,000 gallons of just sewage. The whole long stretch of Laguna Beach is closed because of it. So I'm thinking now I'm not gonna feel as bad, you know, going back in April when it's when the weather's a little bit better here when may maybe I should just take, like, a 2 week vacation then. I have the I have the PTO for it.

I have a lot of PTO. I take no days off. And when I do, it's to take trips back home. So maybe I'll do, like, a week and a half. Maybe.

Just do an extended stay. Really help really help, clear my mind of work and just go on vacation mode. You know what's funny is I spent a good portion of the day earlier today, updating our concert calendar. Usually, if I see a concert announcement like on my Facebook feed or our Twitter feed, I'll screenshot the, the show that is making their way to, Salt Lake City or Boise. And so I had a ton of those on my phone, so I'm like, you know what?

I'll just spend about 45 minutes today updating that concert calendar. I even added shows that don't necessarily fit the cabaret format, but they're still rock shows. There's this band called Turnover that announced a tour that I I know a couple of people who are fans of them that we don't play here, but I still I still put on there. Even the band Chicago, you're like, what? That old band?

Well, right as I was right as I was thinking about potentially not posting it on our concert calendar, I went to my Facebook feed and I saw there was one of our listeners who added me on Facebook that shared the post of Chicago making their way to Salt Lake City and tagging their friends saying, hey. Let's go. And I went, okay. I guess it's getting added. So there's a wide variety of rock shows on that concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com.

Easiest way to get to it is riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. That'll take you directly to it. You filter out all the other stuff. You just put rock concerts right there for choose an event type. It'll show you all the shows.

All the shows coming to Salt Lake City, Boise. I think there are some here in the area. I'm not exactly sure as of yet. I'm sure some shows will come our way to the area soon. Very soon.

Hopefully soon. Some great stuff has been announced today. First, we had the trailer that Victor played on the air, the Nintendo Switch 2 trailer, which, I haven't seen yet. I haven't even messed with at all, the first Nintendo switch. I've heard it's a great system though.

I might eventually get one, like I've talked about for my mom and I to, to play on, play Animal Crossing on. Maybe get 2 of them, like I said, so I can play with her on Animal Crossing, which I don't think she would play. She played she played it on the Wii, but I don't think she'd play it now on the switch. Too much of a change for her. But I'm looking here at the, the announcement of season 5 of the show you coming out April 24th.

I'm excited. This is one of my favorite shows of all time. Favorite shows of all time. I'm so happy that they're doing one more season even though it's the last season, which foreshadows something might happen to Joe in this last season. If you haven't watched the show You, I highly recommend it.

If you ever wanna recommend shows to me because I never know what to watch, I sit there like a brain dead idiot looking at the Netflix, options. Just go, this morning I was doing that on the treadmill trying to find something to watch to keep my mind off the fact that I'm just walking in place. And I think I ended up rewatching baby driver, which is an which is also an incredible, incredible movie. But I need I need something new. I need something new.

The Houston police department, they're taking new steps for storing illegal narcotics seized from criminals because they've noticed drug addicted rats have been getting in and eating them. Yeah. You heard me correctly. The department says police headquarters have been storing the drugs some as long as decades, even though the cases they're linked to have long been concluded. There are said to be 100 of 1,000 of pounds of seized drugs stored in the evidence room.

And the mayor said, yeah. We've got about £400,000 of marijuana in storage. The rats are the only ones enjoying it. The department now says that evidence collected before 2015 that is no longer needed will be properly disposed and not left hanging around to feed the rats. Maybe that's what ghost was singing about.

Rats. I can only imagine the people trying to find all of those drugs just, you know, quote unquote properly disposed. I bet they're gonna put it in some dumpster, and people are bound to find that dumpster. K Bear 101, it's Peach's pip party. Now I just saw the news that the Home Alone mansion in, what was it again, Winnetka, Illinois sold for $5,500,000.

A lot of money, but it's a big house. It, it has 4 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, I believe. 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a high end movie theater as well. Even a top tier indoor sports court perfect for dodging any would be burglars is what the TMZ article says. How's how's silly?

But, yeah, the gym looks great. The basketball court looks awesome. So does the movie theater. It has a big poster of Home Alone on the wall. There's even a giant Lego statue of Macaulay Culkin, or should I say Kevin McCallister screaming after he put the aftershave on his face.

It looks like a great house on the inside. The living room looks insanely insanely cool. 5,500,000 for a house in Winnetka, Illinois. And now the new owners have to realize there's gonna be tons of people that show up to this house to look at the outside and take pictures outside. No longer can they just simply, you know, put on whatever shoes in their underpants and walk out to the car and grab something they forgot.

No. Because there will be people outside photographing you. Kay Bear 101. It is now that time for to peach their own. I saw this whole thing about Rush, about how Alex Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee of Rush have both spoken about the jams they've done together in the years since Neil Peart unfortunately passed away.

And now Lifeson has revealed that they make sure to record every time they get together. He told Classic Rock, it's good to jam with friends as you get older. I need to play once a week. I go to GED's. It's on the calendar.

I keep my fingers moving, play Rush stuff, new jams. We do record it, but I couldn't even begin to tell you where it'll go. And once Lifeson, oh, and Lifeson once again insists that if he and Lee were to do something together, it would be under the Rush name. So I was thinking, you know what? What would it be like to be inside that studio watching them do their thing?

Watching the magic of the spirit of radio? No. No. Nope. Sorry.

Terrible rush pun, but it it inspired today's to peach their own question. If you could be a fly on the wall while any band records their next album, who would you pick and why? I saw 2 great answers on the, Kay Bear 101 Idaho Rocket Metal Facebook group. The first one from Chad that made me laugh. He said he said Oasis, the dumpster fire between the brothers would be amazing.

There's a whole lot of bets about how Oasis will break up during that upcoming tour. And then Alexis also commented sleep token because I would love to know where their creative genius forms and seeing them live. They're even better in person. It would be weird to see sleep token working behind the scenes and hearing them speak in their actual voices. I know they don't record the music in their get us.

Maybe they do. Maybe it's like, it's a whole part of their thing. You're like, you know what? We need to be in character for this. But, you know, vessels on vessels putting the black paint all over them, putting on those robes, putting on the mask and goes, alright.

Here we go. Time to bust down a new record. So if you could be a fly on the wall while any band records their next album, who would you pick and why? Let me know. Call in 208-535-1015.

K Bear, how's it going? Not too bad. James, now what band would you be in a would you be a fly on the wall for and just watch them in studio perform or record? Rammstein. I don't know how they would be now in their older age trying to record their music.

And the thing of it is is they don't do anything unless they all agree to do it. I mean, the band is a total democracy. I thought they had a lot more members than what I what they actually do have. I thought for some reason they were, like, slipknot and had, like, 9 guys in the band, but they have 6. Still a lot.

Yeah. I mean, but it well, I mean, when you think about it, for most industrial type bands, I mean, you you tend to see a few more people. Now do you think Till more so has the say over somebody like, I don't know, the keyboardist in the band? I'm pretty sure it's, it's between him between Till and now I can't remember his name, but the but the keyboardist. Oh, so it's between Till and the keyboardist.

Like, those are the leaders? Well, it like yeah. Like like, if I remember right, I think they're the ones that are, like, the 2 main creative minds behind things. Interesting. Okay.

Because I I'm looking at I thought he'd be, like, the least important, but he has the nickname. He is the he's the only one that has a nickname in the band. Christian Flake Lorenz? Yeah. Flake.

And there's also, like, Oliver Riedel, who's the bassist. Christoph Schneider, the drummer and electronic musician. Maybe the drummer or the bassist is, like, the the least important when it comes to decisions for the band. Well, yeah, most of the time. I mean, look at just about any band out there.

I mean Except for, like, Rush. Or Primus. Yeah. Rush or Primus, you know, where your bassist is the front man. True.

True. I was more so thinking the drummer too. But, yeah, the drummer, like, you know, Neil Peart, the Geddy Lee. No. They're always tucked behind, you know, a drum set.

Definitely. Nobody nobody ever cares about the drummer. Come on. Well, except for Neil. Neil is, like, the only one who ran things.

Yeah. K Bear, how's it going? How are you doing, my friend? Oh, doing good. Just getting those answers for to Peach the Rhone.

K. Questions for the day. What would you, well, hold on. If you could be a fly on the wall while any band records their next album, who would you pick and why? I would like to say TOOL, of course, just because that would be great to see if they actually record one more album.

Any other band? Revenge 7thool. Oh, interesting. Interesting. I feel like for TOOL, that would just be a meeting of the minds.

Maynard would sort of lead the charge, but Danny's, like, the got the genius behind the drums that just follows everyone else silent, you know. Avenge Sevenfold would be weird without the Rev and Matt sort of leading the charge. I mean, m shadows, you know. Yep. The way I understand the way Sewell records their music is the 3 without Maynard get together and they lay down a whole bunch of track.

And after they've said, hey. We're done with everything we've done. Maynard comes in and puts lyrics to it, writes the songs to whatever they decided to jam out with. Does that makes any sense? Definitely.

Yeah. It would be cool to see some of some of the more prolific bands out there like Tool recording in the studio. So, basically, it'd be the fly on the wall watching Danny, Adam, and, Justin. Watching them just get together and have a jam session. And then Maynard comes in later?

Maynard comes in, like, a year later. Wow. That's kind of a for real thing. Well, I hope we're all ready for this. As per usual, as what happens during an Idaho winter, sub zero temperatures coming through Eastern Idaho this weekend.

I was looking at the weather and I saw, yeah, minus 3, some pretty low temps coming our way. And you know what's even worse is that my two friends, Jose and Matt, who I've talked about on the show plenty of times, they both live in Southern California. Matt is actually vacationing right now in Hawaii, and he's sending pictures. And I'm over here in Idaho in the winter just jealous. Just overall jealous.

He's over there snorkeling, which is something that I would never do. I mean, maybe once maybe once I'll overcome my fear and snorkel. I don't care. But still, to go to Hawaii, how hot is it over there? What's the temperature like?

I'm sure it's a whole lot better than here. My mom was all like, it's 70 70 degrees in California right now, and I have a blanket on, and I'm like, mom, you've never experienced life until you take a shower, you get out of that shower, there's no heater on at all, You're in this cruddy apartment that's always cold all the time, and you have to make that risky run from the bathroom to the bedroom. Man, does that suck. Man, does that suck. Even with the heater on in my bedroom, it's still not great.
