And we are here. It's President's Day, Monday, February seventeenth twenty twenty five. Peach's Pit Party kicking off here on Kay Barrett 1 0 1. Did you see the big announcement this morning made by the, Portniff Health Trust Amphitheater, aka The Port? Two legendary punk bands, August 1, Dropkick Murphy's Bad Religion, as well as the Mainliners.
The Summer of Discontent tour, the last time the Dropkick Murphy's were here, they were a ton of fun at the Mountain America Center. And the last time I saw Bad Religion was, I believe, 2012 when they had Brooks Wackerman on the drums. He was still in the band at the time. It was the Sunset Strip Music Festival in LA. Bad Religion opened up, Black Label Society, and then The Offspring.
It was a very odd but fun lineup. We might be doing something with that, Pocatello show just to give you a hint right there. (208) 535-1015 is the number to get a hold of me. Peach's pit party will be back in just a few. This weekend, I just did a ton of cooking at my place, which after buying all those groceries, it does seem cheaper just to go and get fast food from somewhere.
But I decided to make my own homemade mac and cheese, and I learned exactly what a roux is. My friend Zach kept saying that on Discord. You gotta make a roux, and I thought he was somewhat sneezing. I'm like, what the heck's a roux, dude? The final product ended up coming out real nice.
Next time I try this, I might try to do a nice pepper jack instead of the mozzarella. Gotta add the sharp cheddar in there. Keep that in there. I wanna give mine a little kick, maybe add some jalapenos to it as well. I was chatting more with Zach on Discord because every Sunday, we like to do movie nights, him, his wife, Rachel, his brother-in-law, Jordan.
Well, Rachel was talking about how it was a supposed signature dish in Rachel's family to have mac and cheese with mixed veggies in it and hot dog cut up into it as well. Now I can see the hot dog. It's sort of like what you would call a white trash meal. Right? But it's a nice cheap meal.
It keeps you full. It's yummy. But when they add the mixed veggies, I don't know. Just something about that, taking a nice big bite of mac and cheese, expecting mac and cheese, and I bite into not only the mac and cheese, but a bunch of peas, corns, and carrots, I'd be mad heated. That's like when you eat the the tuna salad or coleslaw, and it has those raisins in it.
Just something that's unexpected. Kinda like when you go into a chocolate chip cookie and you realize it's oatmeal raisin. Now I did ask the question to the k berry one zero one Idaho Rocky Middle Facebook group. Do you like mixed vegetables in your mac and cheese? I was surprised to see there were that many votes for it.
But, of course, there was a ton, and I mean a ton of people, against it as well, against veggies in mac and cheese, which I was very glad to see. I'll keep my my veggies separate. I'll eat those on their own. Aussie's final show well, Aussie and Black Sabbath's final show in Birmingham, UK back where they all started. Back to the beginning show on July 5 in Birmingham, England totally sold out.
I think it sold out within, like, five minutes, and people were, you know, complaining about it online as per usual. You gotta expect that when you get a giant bill like this one. Right? Well, they're still adding other bands onto the lineup. Guns and Roses, Tool, Rival Sons, they have signed on to perform, plus Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the former Megadeff bassist Dave, David Ellefson.
Is that how you say his last name? Ellefson? There's a bit there's a ton of star power on this lineup here. And now Ozzy said, well, I'm not gonna be necessarily performing for the entire thing. I'll be doing bits and pieces, which rightfully so.
The man is, what, 77 years old? We already talked about this. It's great that he's still alive, to be quite honest with what he's been through. But to see all those bands in one night, I mean, not only Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, TOOL, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira. It would almost seem worth it to go to The UK.
You know? But, unfortunately, my friends, they're gonna be coming to, here to come see me for the full week. Otherwise, I would if they weren't doing that, I would highly contemplate getting my passport and flying out to the good old UK for this final show. Now I have to be honest, I didn't necessarily watch any part of the NBA All Star weekend just because I didn't know where to find it. Did I care really that much about it?
Not really. You know, it's just a silly little thing they do. Sure. It's all the greatest players in basketball, But at the same time, like, they don't really play defense. They don't really try hard.
I heard the dunk dunk contest was The one guy who continues to bring in viewers for the dunk contest is this little guy named Mac McClung. I say little guy because he's about let me see how tall that guy is because I know he's not all that crazy tall when it comes to the NBA. He's six two, so he's very short for the sport of basketball. Isn't that funny? The world of basketball, if you're six two, six three, even six four, you're very small.
You're I'm six nine, and I'm, like, around average. When it comes to the league, there are guys who are seven three, seven four. It's ridiculous. But the one thing I I do like to point I would like to point out is that for this year's dunk contest, Mac McClung jumped over the Kia, the car, which happened years ago with Blake Griffin. Now Blake Griffin's taller than me, or I think he's around the same height as me.
I think he's also six nine. They they elevated his height to six ten, six eleven. But back when the NBA started introducing where they had they introduced real heights or something like that because, you know, when it comes to sports, especially in college, they want to make their players seem bigger on paper. So the other teams go, wait. They have a guy who's six nine three thirty?
What? What is this? But, yeah, Blake Grimmond's around the same height as me. He jumped over the hood of a Kia. The hood of it.
Mac McClung not only jumped over the entire car, there was a guy in the car handing him the ball, and he got it, scooped it up, and dunked it backwards, which I thought was absolutely awesome. You look at something like that and you go, man, that doesn't look all that crazy. But then you try it yourself on a shorter hoop than than 10 foot, and you go, okay. Alright. This is, this takes some skill.
And this right here is your Shot Clock sports update. The city of Philadelphia wrapped up their NFL season with an epic Super Bowl parade featuring more than a million spectators who got to see 700 pounds of confetti, 15 jumbotrons as the players and coaches drove five miles along the parade route, waving, smiling at fans. The running back for the Eagles, Saquon Barkley, who set a combined single season rushing record during Super Bowl fifty nine, knows that that record also belongs to the offensive linemen who are blocking for him throughout the year. With that in mind, he recently gave each of those offensive linemen a truck full of Bud Light. Each guy getting twenty one sixty two thousand one hundred and sixty cans of beer or just about one beer for every yard Barkley gained in the regular season.
Not too shabby there. Last time for the first time in twenty years, LeBron James did not play in the NBA all star game. He decided to sit out the game to rest his injured left ankle and foot. He hopes the ankle and foot heal, heal enough and quickly enough for him to play for the Lakers on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. Now this was the highlight of the entire weekend.
The four nations face off hockey tournament, it's rolling, seems to be capturing the imagination of the nation. The tournament includes NHL players from The US, Canada, Finland, and Sweden and all battling for their countries. While bat while playing in Montreal on Saturday, fans went out of their way to boo team USA even during the national anthem. This angered the team led to a bunch of fights. I think there was three fights in nine seconds.
It also led to team USA winning the game in dominant fashion. Team USA takes the ice again tonight in a match against Sweden. We'll see how that goes. That does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on Kay Barrel one zero one. Well, today, I learned that over in The UK, Librarians are being abused.
And it's so bad that, librarians could wear body cameras to curb the abuse, which I was like, man, who's abusing anybody out there, let alone librarians? You know? Like, I could see I I I would love to see, fast food restaurants, their workers start wearing body cameras on the shift because you never know what wacker's gonna come and start screaming their head off about my fries were cold. There was 42 fries, and I thought there would be 46. There's so many reasons why people complain.
Or there's so there's so many few reasons why people complain, and they still continue to do so. Like, just be happy. You know, I was talking to my friend Hunter, and I was kind of, like, you know, upset that I went to another drive through. And sure enough, they say, hey. Can you pull forward?
We'll get you your food out in just a second. And I was like, well, it's called the drive through. Why am I pulling forward and sitting and staying? And Hunter's like, well, they could be understaffed. Like, he really just, you know he's like, hey.
You know, chill. And I thought about it. I'm like, oh, you know, you you're right. You're right. Because why should I be upset?
Like, it's just the drive through. Drove through, got my food even though I did have to pull up, like, 20 feet and wait extra long. Oh, whoop de doo. Much bigger problems to worry about, like, being a librarian over in The UK and having to wear a body camera because I guess people are just abusing them for whatever reason. It's a very sad story.
You ever feel like YouTube knows you a little too well? Like, one day you just watch one single video on how to make sourdough bread, and now you're apparently an expert, baker who needs to see every bread making technique known to man. Yeah. YouTube's algorithm has you in a choke hold, but don't worry. There is a way to break free.
I saw the link here. Let me pull it up again. My activity.google.com. You head there. You delete everything you've done on Google products, things you've searched for, the websites you visited in Chrome, the places you went to on devices with Google Maps installed, all of the YouTube movies you've ever watched the YouTube videos you've ever watched, I should say.
That's the way to do it. And then go into your watch history on YouTube as well, start deleting anything that doesn't match what you actually want to see, and then you start telling YouTube what you like, what you subscribe to. You watch content all the way through. Basically, it's like training a dog. Instead of teaching it to sit, you you're teaching YouTube to stop showing you conspiracy theories about how birds aren't real, you know, that sort of thing.
I don't know. I feel like I should reset my, Instagram algorithm more than anything. Like I've talked about on the show previously, my friends decided to start sending me, like, car crash videos, and the caption would be, bro almost explodes. And sure enough, what happens in the video? The car explodes.
So now every single time I go to my Instagram reels, sure enough, nonstop car crash compilations. It's awful. Hey. If you're an older gentleman and you're wondering why you're, not doing well with the ladies, I was looking at this article here. This guy says, I might be 67, but women, they still want to, date me because I'm an expert in serial killers.
This criminologist, David Wilson, yeah, he's 67 years old. He's a professor, has worked with, some of Britain's most notorious offenders of the last thirty years, including names that I I don't really pay attention to this kind of thing, but I do know there's a lot of people out there, especially women, who are huge into true crime. This guy knew about the murderer Dennis Nilsen, violent prisoner Charles Bronson. I know about that name. I know for a lot of people, including my own sister.
She's she went to school for criminology, also psychology and all that. But before she went to college specifically for that field, she was huge into true crime, and she loved oh, what was it again? NCIS. There was also Criminal Minds. She loved Shamar Moore.
I remember I remember that correctly. I was, I was trying to get Ice T on the show. I still might I still might be able to get him. And, you know, he was in Criminal Minds, that TV show, or at least I think he still is. If that's the case, I feel like I would have to bring my sister on the phone to talk to him as well, ask him a thing or two about the show.
You have to. Right? Because there's more to Ice T than there is to his than just his metal band called Body Count. There's also his rap career. There's his film and TV career.
He overall seems like an awesome dude, and I'm hoping I get the chance to talk to him. But, yeah, if you're if you're an older dude, you're struggling with the ladies, even if you're, like, my age, who cares? Whatever age you are, brush up on your, serial killers and see if that works out for you. There's been a lot of jokes online about the Gulf Of Mexico slash Gulf Of America. I even posted a meme that from now on, we're gonna call it Gulf Of Cabaret 1 0 1.
Well, MoonPie, the folks over at MoonPie, they decided that Crestview, Florida wasn't quite working for them. So they just went ahead and rebranded it as MoonPie Town USA. And the best part, the town is actually going along with it, at least for a little while. Now could I potentially just rename my my place Peach Castle? Could I do that?
I'm sure I could. Right? What's stopping, let's say, Idaho Falls from becoming Victor Welt Central, something like that? We already do have Victor, Idaho. You might as well just take over that town.
Companies taking over town names, which would be awful. That would be a terrible future. To go to Home Depot City or something like that. Nothing against Home Depot. But, I mean, if we can change city names just like that, it's gonna get real confusing to find out where to go and what they're called.
Well, another reason to avoid the ocean. I thought this was an older video making the rounds making the rounds on social media. Nope. Just happened recently. This man out of, Chile, he got swallowed by a whale.
He was on a kayak just in the middle of the ocean when all of a sudden you just see this whale come to the surface, swallow him whole, go back down. Luckily, he got spat right back out. Right back out. His dad was filming the entire thing even after the whole thing. Like, he they he was just casually filming his son on a kayak thinking they're about to make some great memories, but, no, just a memory he'll want to forget.
That's for sure. I can't believe that. It's like, that'd be the most terrifying thing to get swallowed up by a whale while you're on a boat. And whales, they don't necessarily want to eat people. They wanna eat the krill at the surface.
They eat tons of krill because they're huge, huge creatures. I would never swim in a swimming pool again. I already have a giant fear of some large fish, you know, getting close to me, let alone a whale swallowing me whole. Oh, man. Yeah.
Forget I would never take a bath again. I would just I I I don't take baths now. What am I even talking about? You know, every so often, we get a wild story about some bull on the loose or those monkeys that made a break from that lab in South Carolina. But today, I bring you a new contender in New Haven, Connecticut.
A gray seal was casually waddling down the street like it had errands to run or something. Local police even snapped a photo of it just chilling next to a patrol car. No one knows where it came from. Maybe it was just sick of the ocean. Wanted to see what all the land hype was about.
Good news, though. The little guy is healthy and now has a cushy new home at Mystic Aquarium. So I'm thinking if I were this seal, what did you think that'd be somewhat of a jail sentence? Like, hey. You're getting your new home as an aquarium, this tiny little tank compared to the ocean?
Anyway, so if you're in Connecticut, if you're streaming us from Connecticut right now and see a sea lion trying to catch a bus, just let it be. Nature is, definitely weird. Lately, it seems like every time we turn on the news, it's either something political or there's another story about an airplane mishap. The media spotlight on these incidents is brighter than ever even though air travel remains one of the safety safest modes of transportation. I mean, I now worry about every time that I fly, like, every time there's a little bit of turbulence, I I white knuckle grip my seat.
You know? Just today, a Delta Airlines flight from Minneapolis had a rough landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport. The plane flipped upside down on the very snowy runway, and it's a dramatic scene. Thankfully, all 80 passengers and crew members have been accounted for. This comes on the heels of the tragic mid air collision collision near Washington DC where an American Airlines jet and a Blackhawk military helicopter colliding resulting in sixty seven fatalities, which is just tragic.
But despite the rarity of such events, the media amplifies the public fear making these accidents seem more common than the army. Every time I go to the news or every time I go on a Facebook I don't even go to the news. No one really goes to the news because it's all political or stuff like this. You know, studies have shown that as aviation becomes safer, media coverage of crash crashes has increased for some reason, creating this, like, skewed perception of air travel risks. It's very weird.
And I've seen a lot of memes now about, like, oh, I'm worried about trying to go to Japan on vacation. What if my plane crashes? Very rarely. Very, very rarely. What what what's the chances of a plane crash?
Let me actually look that up because I know it's something crazy crazy. Let's see. Chances of being in a plane crash. One in eleven million. One in eleven million.
That's that shows how safe you are. Alright. I know I'm about to talk about some pop star news, but, I mean, it's pretty sad to see this type of thing happen on the Internet. Benny Blanco, he's a famous producer. He just got engaged to Selena Gomez.
They've been dating for quite some time. And so over the weekend or I think it might have been even before that, I think it might have been on just on Valentine's Day, they did what looks like a Valentine's Day engagement style photo shoot. Like, it's kinda raunchy. It's kind of silly. Seems like it fits both of them.
The Internet immediately did what it does best, just completely roasting Benny Blanco for no reason at all. He's not exactly the leading man material in the looks department, neither am I, but the dude is wildly successful. He's got a killer career. Clearly, Selena sees something in him that makes her happy, and yet here comes the Internet hiding behind, you know, their animated avatars, dog profile pics, acting like they're all personally offended that she's with a guy who's not Cristiano Ronaldo or Brad Pitt or anything like that. And what's hilarious to me is that how the same people who are preaching about mental health and kindness are the first ones in the comments saying she could do so much better.
This guy looks like he won a contest to date her. Oh, cool. So we're just picking and choosing when, you know, mental health matters, really. And I'm I'm I think there was some stuff on Benny from the past about how he's, like, a a weirder dude, something like that. I don't know.
But to me, I just saw that guy getting roasted all over Twitter, and Twitter sucks, man. Twitter really does suck. You know, people peep that was, like, the OG place to hide behind some anime profile pic or whatever. That is sort of leaked over to Facebook. I've noticed a lot of people who have the biggest complaints in comment sections have a picture of, like, either their, like, animated cartoon avatar or some weird artistic picture that's not even remotely close to them.
Isn't your profile picture supposed to be a picture of you? I I know I know I'll never upload an an animated profile pic. I'll always put me. I don't think I'm the best looking dude at all. I'll roast myself way better than anyone else can.
I just felt bad for this poor guy. You know, he's engaged to Selena Gomez. He's the happiest he's probably ever been. I'm hoping he doesn't go on Twitter. I'm hoping he doesn't go at all on social media.
