Ep. 123 - Name a Cockroach After Your Ex... If You’re That Petty - 02/05/2025

Well, I had hardly any time to plan for this show. I spent the last forty minutes, close to an hour, talking to Shane, the lead vocalist of Silverstein, one of the nicest dudes out there after talking with him for that long. I'm shocked he wanted to be on Zoom with me for that amount of time, to be quite honest with you. Usually, radio interviews, they'll last for, like, ten minutes, and then they have to move on to the next station and talk to another radio person. And And I'm sure that's quite annoying as an artist, but Shane was real cool.

We chatted like we were friends for for years. And those are the best type of interviews, especially, he's a podcast host. He knows what it's like to be on the other side and ask questions. So he was quite the talker. I was sitting there letting him speak.

Obviously, I'm not gonna play the full forty minute conversation on the air. I'll probably do I'll probably air some parts of it tomorrow and, just say, hey. Catch the full thing as part of the Artist Interrogations podcast wherever you get podcasts just because tomorrow, I have another interview, but not for an artist. But I also have, or I have two radio people that are gonna be on my other podcast. So much stuff behind the scenes that I'm doing that I have to prepare myself for.

I feel like every time I'm done here doing the show, I go home and I have to, like, do my research on another person, you know, scour their Instagram, somewhat stalk them almost. That's what he did for Shane. Found out he was heavily into sports, pinball, all that stuff because of just looking at his Instagram and doing my deep dive. I wasn't like Nardwuar coming up with things from his past, but I thought I did pretty okay. He complimented me during the interview saying, dude, these are great questions.

So and, oh, good for me. If you wanna get a hold of me, you can over at (208) 535-1015. I figured I would start off the show with some August Burns Red. They're awesome. They're one of the best live bands you can see, and we'll continue things here shortly with some godsmacked dead poet society and more on Peach's pit party.

Now I have to be honest with you. I completely forgot the Super Bowl is this weekend. As a kid growing up, I used to hate the Super Bowl because I would ask my parents to be like, hey, can I go play at so and so's house? I think it was my friend, Matt, at the time. Not the friend not my friend, Matt, that I talk about quite a lot.

A previous friend named Matt. And my dad would look at me and be like, sorry, Brendon, but the Super Bowl is on. They're watching the big game. It was like, as a kid, I didn't realize how big it was. I'm like, who cares?

I just wanna hang out, you know, do something. I'm bored here by myself. Forget football type of thing. But now now I watch the game. I enjoy it.

I think the halftime show should be pretty interesting with Kendrick Lamar. Maybe he'll play that diss track to Drake in front of the biggest audience you could get as a musician. The Super Bowl halftime show is like a whole other you you cannot have any mistakes during the halftime show. People will remember that forever. Wasn't there, like I think the last time a rock band was the halftime show performer.

I think it was the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Before that, I remember the Who played, the Doobie Brothers played. No one was really interested in that. The big ones are Prince, Michael Jackson. Those are the two biggest ones ever.

I would love to see now here's my thing is I know I know a rock band will never ever ever ever play the Super Bowl halftime show. Like, the the ones that you we play here, they're not gonna play the big thing, you know. But I would love to see Weird Al Yankovic be the Super Bowl halftime show performer. That would be fun. Family friendly, seems incredibly cool.

People know his parodies and all that. That would be a fun time. Well, Valentine's Day is coming up as well, February 14, and I see this pop up every single year. It used to just be the San Antonio Zoo, but now it's, like, all the zoos. Well, the Bronx Zoo, El Paso Zoo, the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago, they've all brought back their name a cockroach programs allowing people to name a roach after their ex for just a small donation to the zoo's conservation efforts.

So the money you spend is going to a great cause. But if your ex is still on your mind like that, so much so that you wanna do like a little name a roach thing after them, it's kinda sad, isn't it? Because, like, you're still thinking about them. Meanwhile, they've moved on. They're happier somewhere else.

The San Antonio Zoo will also let you name a rat or a vegetable after your ex and then watch it get eaten by a predator. Okay? Like, let's say I I decide to chip in and give money to a rat being eaten by what a snake or whatever predator they choose. And I go, yeah. Alright.

Cool. That was fun for, like, five minutes. Are you gonna send it to your ex too? Is that what you're supposed to do? Send it to them?

Be like, yeah. Look what I did. Named a rat after you. That will show you. Honestly, I forgot how many great hits are on the Sickness album from Disturbed.

I'll get to see the full thing from start to finish performed live at the Ford Idaho Center Arena coming up soon in about twenty days. Closer towards the February, I gotta book my hotel room and all that fun stuff. I like going to shows, but when you have to drive three hours, four hours to these places, it does get annoying. Salt Lake City shows, I'll drive back the night of. Boise, forget about it.

That that extra hour really does make a difference. I don't wanna come back home at, like, four in the morning, be completely wiped. That drive is brutal. Brutal. Brutal.

Brutal. So I'll I'll stay there, spend the night, go to Trader Joe's the next day, get my big grocery haul done, and then, you know, make my way back here. Hopefully, I can get a guitar signed to give away to you guys as well in the Cave Air at Rock Army. We'll see. We'll see.

But if you wanna go to any show that is coming up, go check out that concert calendar at riverband media group dot com slash calendar. Just go on to that. You can filter out all the other shows. Go to Concert Rock right there at the top right page. I need to update it actually for, a few more shows as well.

I just saw Pop Evil got announced for Boise in July. No. Is it I think it's April. I'm not sure. I think it might be April 22, another show in April.

Like, April was already stacked as it is. And then Slightly Stupid as well, gonna be in Boise in July. I'll get those posted on that calendar once again at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. And this right here is your shot clock sports update. Funny enough, during the interview with, Shane Told of Silverstein, we talked about the, Luka Doncic trade considering he's a fan of literally any sport.

He even talked about golf. Well, for this, Shot Clock Sports Update, we got some baseball, pickleball news. Six time MLB all star, JD Martinez, hasn't signed a contract for the upcoming season, but he also hasn't announced his retirement just yet. Regardless of how this season shakes out, the 37 year old has already lined up his next career, professional pickleball. He's signed an exclusive deal with pickleball company Jula, and he said, I see pickleball as a sport I'll be involved in for the long run, and Jula's commitment to the sport and my personal growth in the game makes this partnership even more special.

Also got some more basketball news here, some college basketball news. East Coast viewers will have a better chance of staying awake for the end of March Madness this year. The NCAA announced that they're moving up the, tip-off time for for the men's championship from the lawn running 09:20PM eastern time to 08:50PM. The game, which will air on CBS, is set for April 7 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. A very short shot clock sports update today here on Kay Barrett one zero one.

As you're probably well aware, there was that major plane crash and then there was another plane crash in Philadelphia, and everyone's freaked out about traveling by airplane now. There there was some reels that I was seeing on Instagram where it was like, when when all these, Instagram when when all these, airplane crashes are happening, but your one friend is still adamant about going to Japan this year. Then I just saw another story pop up, a real unfortunate story. Luckily, they didn't they weren't in they weren't in the air yet. Just two planes collided at the Seattle Airport, tarmac.

They backed up into one another. Wouldn't that be a scary thing to go through? Wouldn't that suck, though, at the same time? Like, you're wanting to go on that big vacation. Maybe you're going to, I don't know, some other place to go to a concert that you've been really excited to go to.

Your plane backs up to take off. You're like, alright. I'm ready. Right into another plane. Boom.

Whole whole whole thing ruined. Let me click on this article here and see if they, see if they say anything about the the the people that are on those flights. A Delta spokesperson tells TMZ this morning, Delta flight 1921 from Vancouver touched down for a layover and collided with a taxiing Japan, airlines plane. Doesn't say anything. So they're they're on a they're at a layover.

Is that what it was? I'm sure they had to, what's it called? I'm sure they had to compensate every single person, get them a hotel room, that type of thing, elongate their trip. I'm glad everyone's okay, though, compared to the, other accidents that have been happening. I mean and and you're probably well aware about this.

You know, when one major accident happens and then some other smaller one happens after that, next thing you know, TMZ will focus on everything plane crash for the next couple of weeks because they know it'll get clicks. This was just a minor inconvenience compared to those tragedies from before, which really, it sucks overall. Another example of how no band ever really retires unless, you know, a major part of them dies, but then they'll come back with that same band name and somebody else completely different and, you know, continue things. Nobody in Black Sabbath, luckily, for the most part, has died. You still have the original lineup here, for the most part.

Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, Ozzy, Bill Ward, and they're coming back. They're calling this one the final show, which they've done in the past before. This one's happening July 5 in Villa Park, Birmingham, UK where they first started. You got Black Sabbath. You got Ozzy doing some solo songs.

You got Metallica showing up, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Hailstorm, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, Anthrax, Mastodon. And there's even additional performances from, a a bunch of different other acts as well, like Lizzie Hale by herself and Billy Corgan by himself and Fred Durst by himself, which is weird to see. I wonder what exactly they'll do. But if you look real closely at the smaller list here, Papa five Perpetua pops up for Ghost, which is the new character that Tobias Forge has moved on to. And I was talking to somebody about this announcement, and they were all upset that, like, it wasn't a huge thing that Ghost has announced, like, a a big reveal.

And I'm like I'm thinking, like, well, they just had to announce this whole show before Ghost could announce something big, which I'm sure is gonna be on the way shortly. Right? If you wanna fly to The UK and go see this, it's, the whole flyer is posted online. I'm sure you can get tickets for real expensive. I don't know how many pounds those things would be, but it's gonna be a lot.

Tickets do go on sale this Friday. Not this Friday. They go on next Friday? Valentine's Day, Friday, February fourteenth at 10AM. If you do try to get tickets, let me know how expensive they are.

Peach's pit party on K Barrett 101. I talked about this on the show right as it was first announced, the Skyline chili flavored ice cream, the greater Skyline chili flavored ice cream, people freaked out. I talked about it thinking it was gonna be insanely gross. But Jason and Travis Kelsey, they both attended the University of Cincinnati. They got they were real close to Skyline chili.

My I have a couple of friends over in the Cincinnati area, and they they they say Skyline Chili does have a cult following. And even Jason and Travis Kelce both say there's no way they would try it. But plenty of people who have tried it say it's actually very good. I don't know how you can get it. If I need to, like, buy it and have it shipped over here, I don't know how you would be able to ship ice cream, but, I'm sure that would cost a lot of money.

Wait a second. What what? $85? There's no way. I I just pulled it up from the, from eater.com.

6 pints for $84.95. You've gotta be kidding me. There's no way I'm trying this ice cream for that price. I'll I'll stick with regular flavors. Thank you.

I didn't realize how annoying it was to time stamp a video for YouTube. I was putting together the entire conversation available on demand on YouTube between me and Shane Told of Silverstein, which we recorded just earlier today. Super, super nice dude. Chatted with him for about, like, forty five minutes. He was in a hotel, in Denver because they were in Salt Lake City last night, a show that I wish I could have gone to.

Made their way to Denver afterward. It would have been nice if the if the tour was routed perfectly to where they could have maybe stopped by the studio. And maybe Shane could have, you know, been the first the first guest with this, new equipment, these new lights. There's a whole now podcast studio that we're setting up in the back, which I'm very excited for. Oh, it's gonna be so great to finally get stuff on social media the way that we should become better than everyone else, which we already are music wise.

Just now we need to step it up on social media, really be the powerhouse of rock and metal. Make sure to follow us on everything k Barrett one zero one FM. We also have our YouTube channel, k Bear at one zero one r m g. Somehow, when going through article after article, finding things to talk about, there's a cleaning conundrum about, gym clothes. Should we wear gym clothes three times before washing?

The French government apparently has faced a ridicule for their new laundry edicts, which include wearing a t shirt five times before laundering it. I was thinking, isn't France already well known as Paris especially well known to just stink, smell bad. I have never been. I can't pass judgment onto them. But, other than the smell, I've heard it's a great place to go.

I've just heard it overall. Stinks over there for whatever reason. For being the most romantic city in the world, apparently, you've seen it romanticized everywhere. And I'm sure it has a lot of downsides just like how Los Angeles is romanticized in everything. New York City as well.

And then you actually go to, like, a downtown LA, and you walk across you know, walk around and see a bunch of different homeless people asking you for money, seeing people freak out. I don't know. You see a lot of different unique characters in, in Los Angeles. But in the movies, man, it looks like you're going to the greatest place on Earth. Sure.

It's fun in some senses, but other than that, not really. But if I were to wear my gym clothes three times before washing them, on the second and third time, it's gonna stink horribly. There was one time I completely forgot to wash my, practice uniform for my basketball practice. Every single teammate of mine making it very obvious that they didn't like the way that I smelled that day. I sweat a lot, and it did it smelled like it.

Peach's pit party on K Bear one zero one, Idaho's only rock station. Sometimes you feel better about yourself when you watch People Under Pressure on game shows. You see them struggle to answer, like, a Family Feud related question. I I saw this article pop up about how people were asked to name a state from New England to just yeah. Name a name a New England state.

People answered New York, which okay. Cool. But then also Spain. And there were other dumb answers too. I I always love Steve Harvey's reaction to any terrible answer.

Just recently, Justin from one zero five the Hawk and I, we were watching some sort of, like, compilation of celebrity Family Feud bits, or we were talking about classic dumb answers like name a yellow fruit orange. That's if you wanna feel better about yourself. Now if you wanna feel extremely dumb, watch a show like Jeopardy and try answering those questions. My mom can do it really well, but for me, not even close. Not even close.

Of course, this happened in Utah. This Utah man claimed he could dodge bullets and then challenged his buddy to shoot him in the chest. He won't ever be making that claim again. They arrested, Ashton Jonathan Mann. Police arrested him on one count of second degree felony manslaughter.

They say he and his friend had been, you know, partaking in a particular substance if you catch my drift. And the victim started bragging that he could dodge a bullet. So the other guy allegedly drew a weapon, shot him in the chest. He called police, and when officers arrived, they found, you know, the victim with a gunshot wound to the chest lying on the floor. He was rushed to the hospital, but was was pronounced dead, unfortunately.

I heard Victor talking about this break on his morning show on the way over here one morning, and I was laughing because he he he meant he talked about how if I were to walk into the studio and go, Victor, I can dodge bullets. And he would immediately go, okay. Let's turn that into a social media video. No. We're don't ever claim you can dodge bullets.

Stop it. Stop it. I I would expect this from somebody from Utah. So I apologize for not really finding a good to peach their own question for today. I've spent most of the afternoon first recording the interview with Shane from Silverstein and then having to get it ready right away because, Shane unveiled some top notch information that I feel like I should share with the, news outlets.

So I'm getting that all wrapped up. I'm time stamping it, you know, all the tedious stuff. I wish there was a free AI that would time stamp videos for you real fast. But I know Victor asked this question this morning just out of nowhere, and I think he got some callers on it. He posted the the tweet from somebody in the Kayberg group.

What's a song you consider an absolute masterpiece, Start to finish, no second of wasted time, every note, just in a perfect spot, every word true. Victor, you know, the biggest Tool fan on the planet, Lateralis. I'm seeing some great answers here. One by Metallica from Mike, Take Me Back to Eden from Sleep Token from William. I see Joseph not only saying Black Number One, but the eleven minutes sixteen second lawn album version of Black number one by Typo Negative.

Some good ones there. There's some good ones there. But I wanna hear your answer on the air. Call me right now. (208) 535-1015.

That is the, question for today for To Peach Their Own. K Barrett one zero one. I'm reading the story here about this, person over in Berlin. It sounds like they just just they just drove their car to the airport, put it in the parking lot, and then ditched it. Parking at the, Bradenburg Airport costs about $23 per hour.

Usually meant for people coming back to pick people up or could just come in to pick people up. But somebody parked their car there about a year ago and still hasn't come back. Most likely, they won't because they'll have to cough up around over, I'm sorry, over $200,000 in parking fees. Police say the license plates do not match the vehicle, which means they may never figure out who the owner is. It was probably used in some sort of, like, crime.

And the car was recently towed, impounded. Police believe the car was likely stolen and driven to the airport where it was then abandoned. Sure. Sure. It would suck if something real bad happened to that guy and that car was just left there and he the, you know, the guy's dead or something like that.

But the mystery of the car in the parking lot, I don't know. Very long term parking. I I rarely ever I I don't know if I'll ever wanna go down to Salt Lake City and pay for parking down there again. I just didn't like the fact that I came home from California. I came here from California one time for vacation, and then I had to drive three hours back late into the night.

I think I ended up getting sick after that. I don't know. It was a it was a it was a horrible trip that shouldn't have happened. When I went back home in January 2022, The first time my first flight got canceled from Idaho Falls to California, so then I freaked out, bought an expensive ticket from Salt Lake City to a different airport in SoCal. Shouldn't have done that.

Should not have done that. I have never financially recovered from that trip. Nothing more right there on K Bert 1 0 1, which reminds me I, need to reach out to our contact to secure that interview with Johnny Hawkins of Nothing More that was supposed to happen this week. It's only Wednesday, but still might have to be moved to, next week. I got another interview for a different podcast tomorrow.

Gotta prep for questions for that and so many questions I ask people. I I would love to be the opposite end of a, interview and actually just get interviewed myself. No prep. No nothing. Just sit there, get asked the questions, give the best answers possible.

But I did see the news about, Nothing More teaming up with, Chris Daughtry for a song before they both hit the road with Disturbed on March 29 in Cincinnati. They posted a photo from a, video shoot, done on Monday. I wish they were the openers. I don't wanna be like one of those people. I don't wanna sound like one of those people.

I wish we would replace the openers that I wanna see with the ones that are currently on the lineup in Boise. I'd rather see nothing more. You know, there's always those people talking about picking and choosing when it comes to concerts. Oh, give me a break. I don't care.

I'll love I I would love to see three Days Grace Disturbed and Seven Dust. I'm I'm glad I'm seeing them February 25. I would also love to see Nothing More live, and I know they're gonna be on their own headlining tour in March. I I don't know. They're they're it's on our concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com.

Hey, K Bear. How's it going? Not too bad. James, what's that song that's just absolute perfection to you? Rush twenty one twelve in its entirety, like, the whole thirty minute version.

Isn't that just the album? No. It's the first half of the album. The second half, the b side of it actually has, like, the all the other tracks on it. But the entire first half of the vinyl album of that one is all just the '21 '12 Overture, Temple of the Syrinx, Discovery, and and, yeah, the rest of it, like, the dream and all that.

Well, you know, I was gonna play, some of these, answers that I get today for this question, but, you know, that would take up half the hour and, we don't have that in the system. So I'm not surprised because I think I've only ever heard it played, like, on the radio in its entirety once. And that was when I was a kid, and it was j one zero five back in Boise. Interesting. Yeah.

It looks like we have a a couple, Rush songs, Tom Sawyer, The Spirit of Radio, Limelight, YYZ. Yeah. Just the You guys need to play YYZ more. Alright. I can You guys play all the all the tired stuff.

All the tired stuff. Yeah. Sure. I can put on, put it on here. Whoops.

Hold on. Hold on. I need to figure this out here. Alright. There we go.

Oh, wait a minute. It's for Cannonball. Let me fix that. Yeah. I used to be able to play the opening to YYZ for at least the first, like, fifteen seconds.

I used to be able to play that on bass. I'm glad I'm glad that you, suggested y y z because I looked at the what song was next, and it was a Sublime Feel Like That with Stick Figure. I'm like, we're getting rid of that right away. Hey, K Bear. How's it going?

Hey. Hey. What's up? It's Vortex. What's up, Vortex?

What song's absolutely perfect note to note in your opinion? The Wolf You Feed by Nita Strauss featuring Alyssa White Gloos from Archenemy. Oh, yeah. Great one. Great one.

It's a fan her guitar solo in there is fantastic. And, And, of course, Alyssa from Arch Enemy has fantastic vocals. So it's like a perfect duo. Most definitely. Most definitely, man.

I can, throw that on after the break for you. There we go. Hey, K Bear. How's it going? Hey, BJ.

Good. How are you? Doing great. What song is absolutely perfect in your opinion? It's gotta be Pantera Walk.

That that song, it's so good. My and I think it's my favorite, Pantera song. I was introduced to them, from my former friend about, with their with their song Cowboys from Heck is what I like to call it on the air. But, I heard that one, and then I heard Walk shortly after. I'm like, Walk's really good.

Walk's a great track. Thanks for listening to Peach's Pit Party, the podcast. Podcast. If you enjoyed the show, please share, subscribe, and rate the podcast. Peach's Pit Party is hosted by me, Peaches, AKA Brendan Peach, and is a production of Riverbend Media Group.
