We out here. It's Friday, 01/31/2025. I don't know if I should celebrate my four year anniversary today or tomorrow considering the weekend shows, they're prerecorded. News flash for those that thought I was actually in here in studio on the weekends. That's why I always end every Friday show saying you can hear my voice on Saturday and Sunday.
Tomorrow, February 1 will officially be my four year anniversary of working here. It has certainly flown by. I still had that recording of all of us in the studio at the time wearing masks, recording the noon hour of madness and mayhem powered by Jalisco's. I I think there's even the clip of, Jade saying, hey. Let's call them peaches on the air.
And sure enough, it has stuck with how different things are now. I'll make a post tomorrow celebrating four years of peaches on Cabaret, and that's all that it deserves, I think. Right? Maybe for my five years of being here, we'll do an entire day of just Peaches highlights. No.
I'm only kidding. I'm only joking. I'm not a narcissist like that. If you wanna get a hold of me, you can do so over at (208) 535-1015. I'll dig for content, find at least some stuff to talk about today coming up shortly here on Peach's Pit Party.
I was all excited for the warmer weather to get here this weekend. I was seeing, like, a high of 40 for one day. Maybe that was Monday. I'm not sure, but the lows were, like, 30 and up. I was very excited for at least some warmer nights.
Right? Because when you go from the negatives to about thirty, thirty five, it's gonna feel like a summer day. I might bust out the shorts. But East Idaho News posted this article saying that we need to be prepared for snow, wind, and winter. No.
Snow and wind on the way as winter warnings and advisories are issued. Here's what to expect this weekend. The National Weather Service has a winter storm warning in place until 5AM Sunday for places like Ingham, Soda Springs, Saint Charles, Downey, etcetera. Moderate to heavy snow is expected with five to 10 inches expected in lower elevations and 10 to 20 inches for higher elevations. Wind gusts could be as high as 40 miles per hour.
Now this weekend is definitely not the time to, bring out the rental car and, drive it around town because you know what happened last time? I was at a intersection. Was it two Fridays ago? Three Fridays ago? It was, yeah, two Fridays ago at that at that red light.
Boom. Get rear ended by another driver. I that that better not happen with this rental car. I I will be so mad if that's the case, but travel could be difficult. Stay safe this weekend.
If you wanna see the full article, go to eastidahoneews.com. Well, if you're feeling stuck at your current job, you might wanna consider getting a gig in Antarctica. The British Antarctic Survey apparently has job openings for scientists, engineers, chefs, electricians. Salaries start at around $36,000. All living expenses are covered.
The contract runs from, the contracts run from six to eighteen months and are considered, quote, unquote, flexible. Those that salary is a little low, way low. I mean, what's the weather like in in Antarctica right now? Weather let's see this here. Let me type in currently.
Just give me the give me the numbers. Negative 26 degrees Fahrenheit feels like negative 54. Got nearly 20 mile per hour winds, and it's not looking like it's gonna get any better. Does it say what time these jobs start? Hopefully, in the summertime.
And what what's what's it like in the summer over there? Is it at least fairly warm? I know what's it's it's Antarctica. Of course, you're gonna have, you know, cold temps, but it can let's see here. Temperatures range from negative 10 degrees Celsius to negative 60 degrees Celsius depending on location.
The warmest month is January, which is right now, and it feels like negative 54. Yikes. Yeah. Have fun. If you wanna take up that job, go for it.
Alright. I might need to ask this question for the peach throne later this afternoon just to see what your answer would be. What's a lie you were told as a kid that you didn't realize wasn't true until embarrassingly later in life? Looking at some of the responses on Reddit, that was that it was illegal to ever have the dome light on in the car while driving. My mom used to freak out about that.
Both my parents used to freak out about that. I would turn it on. My mom started screaming, turn it off, Brittney. What are you doing? Another answer that my senior cat whose health was, waning was taken to a big farm for senior cats where he'd be happy and taken care of.
Sure. Sure. That cat that farm has a ton of cats now apparently. Every time you pick your nose, the nostril gets stretched a little bigger. If you pick your nose too many times, it'll take over your entire face.
I've never heard that one before. I've always heard if you swallow a watermelon seed, a watermelon will grow inside of you. You chew bubblegum, swallow it. You start farting bubbles, you know? Fish won't bite unless you stop talking.
I guess my dad just wanted peace and quiet. I understood it more as I got older. Oh, yeah. Here's a big one. That cracking your knuckles gives you arthritis.
I believed that for years. And used to yell at my friends for doing it only to find out later it's total nonsense. Now I crack mine constantly out of spite. There was a commercial of some older lady whose hands looked all messed up and she had arthritis. And I think I I remember my parents showing that commercial to me.
They're like, hey, by the way, if you crack your knuckles, you can end up like this woman. That put what a terrible thing to say. And this right here is your shot clock sports update. The New Orleans Police Department, they're warning Philadelphia Eagles fans not to climb light poles in the city if the Eagles win the Super Bowl. The police do not want another tragic accident like that college student who fell from a light pole a week ago and sustained fatal injuries.
They also point out that many of the light poles in New Orleans are quite old. Climbing on them risks toppling the, light pole. Yeah. There you go. The NHL is attempting to attract younger viewers of the show called NHL Hockeyverse, which is a thirty minute animated recap of the week's games.
The show debuts tomorrow, Saturday, February 1, and will feature teenaged commentators doing the play by play for these cartoon hockey games. I guess that's cool. And And then the Utah hockey club might stick with that placeholder name. If that's what the, fans choose, the team is having fans vote on three choices for a permanent name over its next three home games. Besides Utah hockey club, there's also the Utah mammoth and the Utah outlaws.
I did see the Utah outlaws is in, as one of the options because they tried putting in the wasatch one, but the the the team named after the mountain range, and I'm like, nobody's gonna get that. Utah mammoth, Utah outlaws, two much better names compared to the Utah hockey club. I I I I feel like they're gonna go with the Utah Hockey Club because they they wanna keep it simple, UHC, something like that. I don't know. That does it for your Shot Clock Sports update right here on KBR one zero one.
I honestly forgot this subreddit exists, ask old people, which is cool. You can ask old people pretty much anything in there. And this Redditor recently went on the ask old old people page to inquire if people really had to shower naked after sports in school. It's be it became obvious that older generations were subject humiliation of what amounted to a, you know, a group shower after PE class. But what also became apparent is that now is that now that it is no longer required, schools have gotten a little smelly.
One reply said, as a middle school teacher, I can confirm, yes. They actually do reek now. Another middle school teacher wrote, I regularly have to talk to kids about them smelling and have a few deodorants in my drawer to gift kids that need it. Could you imagine that sitting there in, like, your core class? Teacher comes up to you, hey.
By the way, you might need this. You you stink, dude. Obviously, they're not gonna say that last part, but I feel like if I were a teacher, I would say something like that. Hence, why I'm not a teacher. That would be embarrassing to a kid for sure.
For sure. I I I I the we didn't really have to do the whole thing like that when I was in high school either at all. People would bring trunks. That's about it. I mean, I'm I'm I'm kind of, curious to see what else is on this ask old people subreddit.
I might need to join this one and take a gander at it while songs play. Alright. I kept looking at the ask old people subreddit, and I saw this question. What was your starting hourly pay? Top comment, $3.35 an hour in the mid nineteen eighties.
Wouldn't that suck to make that now? I don't think the minimum wage here in Idaho is all that much better compared to that. A lot of people just agreeing with that person. Someone said a dollar 75 an hour in 1977 at Dairy Queen. Oh, that would have been so weird.
How things costed a lot less back then, but still didn't seem like all that much. $19.62, 50 cents an hour, free meal every day I worked, and $1 from each waitress at the end of shift. And, wow, $19.62, 50 cents an hour. Bus boy, dollar 60 plus tips in 1977 in Ohio. I'm getting too distracted by the subreddit.
Peach's pit party on k barrel 101. I didn't even realize this weekend. Tomorrow at 4PM is the Royal Rumble for WWE. And I love the Royal Rumble every single year only because you get to watch 30 different wrestlers all get in the ring, not at the same time, just collectively, and one person ends up on top. Sure.
It's scripted. Sure. It's fake. Sure. They they throw fake punches faker than most LA people, but it's still enjoyable for me to watch.
And you know what? The weather, the the snow that's coming this weekend, maybe I'll stay more so indoors, clean up my place while the soup the not the Super Bowl. The Royal Rumble's going on in the background. But a lot of people like to spoil surprises. I mean, really, there's a lot of these, people who are obsessed with wrestling, who are outside, the hotel where all the superstars are staying at in Indianapolis, Indiana and trying their best to see who is going to show up that is not a part of the main roster that could be surprising people at tomorrow's Royal Rumble.
Sure enough, I've seen posts like, oh, this person has showed up. Do you think they're gonna be a a wrestler in it? And it's like the the this version of wrestling is so much worse compared to before. Compared to before, there was actual surprises. Now, Now, like, everyone's speculating different things.
There's a lot of people with inside sources sharing things that they shouldn't. I try my best to not not have it spoiled for me because I'd much rather just watch and be surprised myself. Try to avoid it when you're scrolling social media to find stuff to talk about or scrolling social media just to, you know, keep up to date with what I what we need to post here for the stations. Anyway, I'm excited for the Royal Rumble nonetheless, and we'll see who ends up on top tomorrow. I was just scrolling, saw today as National Fun at Work Day, which, I mean, I I have fun here every single day to be quite honest with you.
No matter what I'm doing, it's always fun to do exactly what I wanna do. And this whole thing was going on, saying things. Can you honestly say that you have fun? You have a fun work environment? Do you have an extremely boring workplace?
Does that does the company try to implement fun activities? I know when I used to work at In N Out there were these meetings on Saturdays that we would sometimes have to go to. Like, it was mandatory for us to go. It was like a shift. And oftentimes, they would have these, you know, team building activities.
And everyone there besides the managers don't want to be there. It's early morning on a Saturday. No one wants to get up and talk about how many burgers we sold. And In N Out has this thing called burger television that they show off during the meetings, and it's literally just what are all the In N Outs up to? Lindsay, the founder, what does she what does she have planned for the chain?
Things like that, and it was it was pretty bad. And then you would you would get, like, those awards or those critiques, like, if one of the the the secret shoppers came in, like, one of those executives from In N Out disguised as the customer. And if you missed one of the questions that you're forced to ask the customer, then you were docked points. And if you get a really bad grade, you know, it was that type of thing where, like, the the store manager would come up and be like, alright, guys. I'm very disappointed in how we performed.
Blah blah blah blah blah. Oh, I'm so glad I'm not I'm no longer there. That that job the the restaurant's great, but working there was one of the worst things possible. I will never ever ever go back to something like that ever. I used to have to work the pay window, the drive through window.
And as you I'm larger than most people. The the pay window is already tight tiny enough as it is. Imagine me trying to bend down, hand you back your change. My my shoulder was, like, the only thing that fit through the window. Oh, what a nightmare that was.
What a nightmare. I'm glad I'm here now doing this. It's been four years of just overall fun so far. Oh, man. I can't wait for more of it.
I don't necessarily pay attention to Groundhog Day. Sure. I see the news about it. Do I think that's the isn't Punxsutawney Phil notoriously bad at predicting the weather? What are the stats of Punxsutawney Phil?
Let me see. How do you spell Punxsutawney? Okay. Cool. I put in p u n x, and I already knew how to fill in the rest of it.
Punxsutawney Phil predictions record. He has a 35% overall accuracy rating over one hundred and thirty five years. That should show you right there that Groundhog Day doesn't mean anything. But I do predict that let's see. What what does Peaches predict that Punxsutawney Phil will do?
I think he's not going to see his shadow. Does that mean that we get a longer spring? That's what I'm hoping for. That's what that's exactly what I'm hoping for. This article goes into that whole PETA thing where they're like, we need to stop using Punxsutawney Phil and instead use a weather reveal cake.
No. Thank you. We'll continue to use the Groundhog at one of the silliest locations names ever, Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Alright. I'm extremely tempted to, fly down to my hometown, Seal Beach, California, which is right next door to Long Beach for, you know, the Warp Tour that is coming up.
Point North was just announced as one of the bands specifically at the Long Beach Warp Tour. I saw Bowling for Soup, Miss May I, a lot a lot of different bands. A lot of lower tier bands have been announced so far. And I'm wondering who exactly is going to be the big headliner. Are they gonna announce it, like, here soon or is it gonna be just a couple bands per day and eventually we will get the big names that are gonna be at Warped Tour?
I was I was trying my best to keep up with all the bands that have been announced. I saw the Home Team just got announced for the Long Beach location as well, another great band that we, don't necessarily play here. Oh, look at that. Fame on Fire, I think, is also going to be a part of, Warped Tour. They're going to be at the Orlando stop because I think those guys are originally from Florida.
Who else is there? Nothing else so far that I know no other band that I've I I really know so far, but state champs as well. Whiplash, never even heard of that band, but that's what's great about warpt tours. Maybe you'll discover your next favorite band, but this is happening in what, July? You scroll down here.
It says July I'll forget it. I'll I'll I'll find the date somewhere. But, if you wanna go to any concert that is coming to our area, make sure to go to our concert calendar at riverbend media group dot com slash calendar. I've already made plans to go to the Disturbed show next month. Very excited for that.
Wow. What a name this guy has. Quavius Chandler, an ex con who was on probation for a prior felony. He's accused of attacking his stepfather with a baloney sandwich. The two had gotten into an argument after the stepfather complained that Chandler was playing video games too loudly and took away his PS five.
Meanwhile, I wanna I wanna tell you guys this. Aquavius is 29 years old. His stepfather is 62, and he's still at his at his parents' place playing video games too loudly. But during their argument, Chandler allegedly threw a bologna sandwich, struck his stepfather right in the chest. Police responded, although there were no visible injuries on the stepfather, police still arrested Chandler because he had that, you know, prior he was on probation for a prior felony.
They charged him with felony battery because of his three prior convictions, two of which also involved fights over video games. You think after the second time that you were convicted of something like this, you would just throw your entire console away or just go ahead and sell it, never play video games again, especially around your stepfather? KBAR one zero one, Idaho's only rock station, was looking at eastidahonews.com. Saw they had a they had a whole article dedicated to this huge bison herd that was trekking across the, snowy Yellowstone Valley. You can find it at eastidahonews.com.
And I was thinking, man, oh, man, I'm excited for spring and summertime. I'm hoping we don't get that many tourists. My friends have been trying to plan their trip to come out and visit me here for the first time in four years, which is crazy. Last time my friends, Matt and, Christian were out here was, I think it was July 2021. I was just looking at the photos.
I I I should remember the date, but, yeah, they they they need to come back. It and my friend Jose will join them this time. They'll get to he'll get to see the area for the very first time, get to just hang out for a couple days, do stuff around here. But, one of my favorite parts of the summertime is to, see the tourists that are, you know, dumb enough to go up to these bison and try taking selfies with them. You think people would learn, but they never listen.
No matter how many signs, how many times you tell somebody not to go towards the fluffy cows, sure enough, there's that one daring person that goes, they're gonna like me. Boom. They end up getting hit by one of the bison. Please don't get near them. Please.
To peach their own time, what's a lie you were told as a kid that you didn't realize wasn't true until embarrassingly late in life? A popular answer with this one is that you that it's illegal to drive with the, the lights on in the car. Like I said, my mom used to freak out about that. My dad, the same way. Jake saying that parents don't know anything about technology, that they call the Sega a Nintendo.
I thought they were stupid. Now I call the PS five and Xbox because it infuriates my kids. If you work hard, you can get ahead in life from AI. That's a Debbie Downer answer right there. That it's illegal to park the runway on a street, which okay.
Okay. If you sit too close to the TV screen, you'll lose your eyesight. That was something else. There was also the the the popular answer too on Reddit where it was like, hey. If you crack your knuckles too much, you'll get arthritis.
What's that lie? What's what's a lie you were told as a kid that you didn't realize wasn't true until embarrassingly later in life? Let me know. Two zero zero eight five three five one zero one five for the peach their own. Hey, K Bear.
How's it going? Hey, Peaches. This is Vortex. How's it going? Doing great.
What's a lie you were told as a kid that you didn't realize wasn't true until embarrassingly later in life? Well, I don't know how widespread this one was. It may have just been literally my family, but I was told as a kid that every time I cried, Santa Claus would stub his toe. What? Yeah.
I'd I've never heard it anywhere else, so it may have just been my mom that made that up. But she said every time I would cry, especially in public, that Santa Claus would stub his toe. Just to get you to stop crying? Pretty much. Yeah.
Did you did you cry even harder because of that? Like, no. Not Santa. Yeah. It used to it used to, like, hurt my feelings when I was a kid.
It's like, I don't want Santa to stub his toe because I know how much that hurt. It's like that phrase, step on a crack, break your mama's back. Like, please, no. Yep. Exactly.
