And here we are, Friday. Finally made it to the end of the week, 02/28/2025. I hope all is well with you. If you wanna get a hold of me, you know the number. (208) 535-1015.

I'm still laughing at my post in the, SiriusXM Octane fan club Facebook group. If you weren't tuned in during the noon hour of madness and mayhem, we were talking about how on Facebook for some reason right now, there are a lot of pages just posting generic statements that are controversial, so to say. Like, ketchup is is the best condiment out there. You can't disagree. Something like that.

And sure enough, people are going to talk in the comments. There's gonna be a whole lot of traction, a whole lot of rage bait on Facebook right now. So we asked Chad GPT to come up with rage bait for rock and metal. And sure enough, it came up with this whole thing about how Greta Van Fleet is the best thing to happen to rock since Nirvana. And I told it to really make it just antagonizing to people who hate Greta Van Fleet.

It's this lawn post that says, face it. Greta Van Fleet is the best thing to happen to rock since Nirvana. They brought back real musicianship unlike the generic screaming metal bands that all sound the same. Meanwhile, washed up legacy acts like Metallica and Foo Fighters are just coasting on nostalgia. Rock needed saving and GVF delivered Stay Mad.

Right? A full on AI generated post. I put that in the Octane fan club. As of right now, it's sitting at a 22, reactions, 74 comments. Luckily, for the most part, most people are realizing it's satire, but there are people just screaming at me.

And all I'm doing is hitting the laugh react to them, which might might make them even more mad. I don't know. But Facebook trolling's always fun. So that was my entertainment for this, Friday. Hopefully, we'll find some awesome stuff to talk about this afternoon.

Beastie Boys, Pop Evil, and more on the way here shortly. Yesterday, I didn't do it to peach their own question. It was just an online, hey. What's your favorite color type of thing in the, K Bear one zero one Idaho rock and metal Facebook group. Because during that time, I got the chance to sit down with Johnny Hawkins, the vocalist for Nothing More.

Super nice guy. I was shocked on how fast that interview went because I got an email ahead of time saying, hey. Please keep it to thirty minutes, and then he has to be out out of there. And usually when you get an email like that, you stick to the time. Right?

So I'm sitting there chatting with him. We're going back and forth. I look to my left at the timer. We were at twenty five minutes, and I go, okay. One last question here.

That was it. So it was like two friends almost catching up. Like, we were just going back and forth. It was a fun time. I'll get it up on our YouTube channel here shortly at k barrel one zero one r m g.

There's just so much to do today. So I'll put it on our YouTube. I'll also put it on our artist interrogations podcast as well. I might need to time stamp it. I shared a little clip of the interview yesterday because, apparently, Nothing More has a tour that's, hasn't been announced yet.

But, you know, that Scorpion's tail that he brings out on stage that he rides on? It's like this weird contraption that he stands on the top of. They're kind of revamping it for this, unannounced tour. So I might need to share that with all the music news outlets and everything. But, overall, fun conversation.

I think you'll enjoy it. Look out on our YouTube channel, k Bear one zero one r m g. Well, we have another major death that no one saw coming. This one's not a person. It's Skype.

It'll be shutting down in May after twenty one years. It started in 02/2004. I thought it said 02/2003. Isn't it twenty two years? Well, anyway.

Anyway. Microsoft is shutting it down. It was very weird because during the pandemic, everybody was using Zoom or Google Teams. Is that what it's called? I think it's Google Teams, but nobody was really using Skype.

And Skype was used, for the most part, the whole time before then. Skype really let Zoom and Google Teams just beat them during the year that everyone was using video calls. And, I mean, I don't really know that many people still using Skype, which is why Microsoft is like, yep. Shut her down. Rest in peace.

Twenty one years of just, well, Skype. Okay. And this right here is your Shot Clock sports update. With the Philadelphia seventy sixers season slipping away, Paul George made a decision that he thought could help. He's stopping his podcast.

After the team dropped its ninth straight game Wednesday night, George told reporters that he made the move because he's trying to turn things around here, and the full focus is trying to get this team together. It was a noble team first gesture, but, unfortunately, numbers get in the way. It seems that George was actually playing better this season. After an episode of his podcast dropped, it'll be fun to see if George's stats or the success of the team improves without podcast p. Gregg Popovich, the legendary head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, made an made an emotional visit to the team yesterday.

It was the first time they had seen Pop since his stroke in November. After the meeting, Popovich issued a statement saying he won't return, as coach this season, but hopes to return in the future. Travis Kelce has decided to return for his thirteenth season with the Kansas City Chiefs, putting retirement rumors to rest. Kelsey, who's 35, is coming off the worst season since he was a rookie. If Kelsey would have retired, he would have walked away from $19,500,000 because he's now playing the 2025 season.

He has nearly $20,000,000 to look forward to, and NFL fans have another season of a certain pop star in the luxury box to look forward to. Why not do one more here? Besides voting on the legality of the tush push, it looks like the NFL's competition committee will also be reviewing the rules for overtime. Receiving the ball first has become more of an advantage than pre 02/2011, which was when overtime was just a sudden death period. Receiving teams won almost 57% of games in overtime from 2017 to 2024.

That's up from 55% from 02/2001 to 2011. The NFL also wants to level this out a bit and might just take action to do so before the 2025 regular season gets rolling. That does it for you. Shot clock sports update right here on K Bear one zero one. I would ask this question for the peach thrown, but I'm afraid most of the answers I would get would not be radio friendly or able.

I wouldn't be able to air any single one of them here on K Bear. What's the strangest thing you've seen someone do confidently in public like it was totally normal? Some of the responses on Reddit, one guy said he saw a dude feeding birds at the Redondo Beach Pier. The Redondo Pier is actually very nice. Last time I was there, I think, was 2020.

Yeah. 2020. It's like it's a good it's a fun pier. It's like a mini San Francisco, but in a good way. But this guy that was feeding the birds, he was biting into a loaf of bread, an an entire loaf of bread and spitting the bread pieces out all at the birds.

Another answer, one saw a man in a full business suit get up from his seat in a busy, airport lounge, do elaborate martial arts moves for about ten minutes and sit back down again without making a sound. I've seen people like that in the gym. Many people like that in the gym. Just doing those weird tai chi moves. I'm like, I don't know how you can do that confidently.

I feel weird exercising sometimes in front of people or sometimes I think I'm too loud on the treadmill. I have my headphones in and for people that see me at the gym they'll see me take my headphones off and I'm wondering. I'm like, am I breathing loudly? Am I stepping loud on the on the the treadmill? I don't want the the person behind the counter at the Planet Fitness to ring the luck alarm and then I will be so embarrassed I'll never go to the gym again.

Alright. Let's talk about a, cinematic disaster waiting to happen, Shrek five. They finally announced it for a moment. We were all ready to party like it's 02/2001. Then they went and, switched up the animation style.

And they, of course, had to include Zendaya because, like I said before, Hollywood likes to use the same five people for every movie nowadays. And now everyone around my age, everyone who wants wanted to feel nostalgic about Shrek and having excited for Shrek to make the return, they're now upset. Very similar to me because Shrek doesn't look like the way he did before. Not at all. He looks weird.

Same with Donkey. Pinocchio, I I would've easily passed on him. He kinda looks the same, but, yeah, it's weird. It's very weird. And now Shrek yeah.

They Shrek and Fiona, they have a daughter who's voiced by Zendaya, and I'm wondering how exactly they're gonna make this movie try to work. I don't think it'll do well, unfortunately. Did they introduce anybody else into this movie? Because all I saw was were the brief screenshots. I didn't watch the trailer.

I should've, but, yeah, it just doesn't look good. And I'm not excited for it. I haven't been to the movies in quite some time, which absolutely sucks. I I kinda wanna be excited for a movie again. It's kinda like video games.

I wanna be excited for a new video game coming soon, but GTA six is pretty much the only one that I know of that I'm, like, really excited for. It's a very weird time when it comes to entertainment. Well, we all wish our dogs could live forever. Right? Yeah.

While we're not quite there yet, scientists are making some exciting progress. There's this biotech company called Loyol. They've developed an antiaging pill specifically for dogs, and it's one step closer to hitting the market. It's still waiting on full FDA approval, but the agency has given it a thumbs up for its effectiveness. Now the pill itself is beef flavored, same to dogs 10 years and older, weighing at least fourteen pounds.

So those tiny little chihuahuas, I guess they're I guess they're out of luck. This pill this pill is designed to help boost their metabolic health, keeping them happier and healthier as they age so they can just simply live longer. Now dogs themselves, they don't live all that long, especially when you get to the big ones like the Great Danes. They live to, like, 13. But you see somebody's chihuahua that's, like, 20.

And it's quite sad to see an old dog. It's like that Shane Gillis joke. You just see it like an old dog, you know, barely walking into the living room. You're like, oh, hey. There he is.

Wow. He looks great, doesn't he? Well, this is pretty scary. Doctors are now using AI just like students are. But instead of cramming for exams, they're turning to it for some serious health care work.

We're talking everything from diagnosing illnesses to crafting personalized treatment plans. I guess AI is helping them make better decisions faster. It's also saving them time by handling things like medical charts, billing codes, which that makes sense. You wanna get rid of the tedious work, not have it decide somebody's life, to be quite honest. I think there was one time I went to the doctor recently, and I was wondering about one of the side effects of the, the meds I was taking.

And this doctor literally Googled side effects of the certain med and said, well, that's included on this list. I'm like, how reliable is this website? It's not a .gov or .edu. It was just it was a simple .com website that somebody could have up uploaded. It was like me going to Wikipedia to prove my point, which, you know, anybody can edit that page.

The future's scary with AI. It really is. Well, let's talk about some stupid people in the news. One stupid person, I should say. An 18 year old Florida woman with a bone to pick with her ex boyfriend, which, by the way, if you're gonna be petty well, I shouldn't even say that.

Leave your exes alone overall. Don't hit them up. Don't do anything to them. Don't be like this this person who she was arrested for vandalizing, her ex boyfriend's sports car with a can of yellow spray paint making matters even worse. It wasn't even the right car.

Yeah. Police responded to this 911 call about a young woman vandalizing a car. They found her and a 16 year old friend with yellow spray paint next to a back vehicle with the word devil written all over. Now cops say she told them she was upset with her ex because he owed her $700. The bigger problem for her is that it wasn't actually the ex's car.

She had the right color, but the wrong make and model. Just text him. Hey. I need my money. Leave it as that.

Lately, I've been avoiding AskReddit just because there's so many political questions being asked on it, and I hate that. I avoid politics 100% on this show. So today's question for the peach their own. What's the most addictive game you've ever played? I see the top answer on Reddit World of Warcraft, which my, cousin that I only have talked to once, and I think that was the one and only time I ever talked to him.

I forgot his name. Is it Austin? Something like that. But my uncle Bob, it's his that's his son. He was talking about he's like, yeah.

He's been playing World of Warcraft now for the past seventy two hours straight. Like, okay. Wow. A real champ right there reminds me of the, South Park episode, which I did talk about funny enough with Johnny Hawkins of Nothing More out of all people. But but what's the most addictive game you've ever played?

Let me know. Two zero eight five three five one zero one five. Kay Bear, what's the most addictive game you've ever played? Play nine. What what's that all about?

It's, it's like a golf game with cards. Play nine card game. Yeah. And it's like golf, but you just try to get the lowest amount of points with your cards. It's pretty addictive.

We've we've played it for a long time, and it's also a video game, so you can play against other people online and whatnot. So how do you play golf in card form? Do you just, like, put a card down or you get a random card? And then So it's its own it's not like a deck of cards. It's a play nine deck.

Okay. It's actually just play nine. Gotcha. I've never even heard of that game before, so I'm just, you know, curious about it because it seems really cool. It seems like a game that my family and I would love back at home.

Yeah. It's a lot of fun. You just try to get the lowest points just like golf, you know? Yeah. Yeah.

Well I like to call it play nine. I add this to my my little, list here of things to potentially get my family for Christmas. I'm already thinking ahead of time. It's a fun deck of cards, and it's just fun to play, and it gets addicting. Alrighty, man.

Well, thank you so much for that, for that answer. I appreciate it. Alright. Have a good one. Hey, you have a great weekend.

K Bear, how's it going? Hey, what's going on, peaches? Oh, nothing much. What's the most addictive game you've ever played? I have two.

Okay. I think, Battlefield one multiplayer online. I mean, that game was popular for a lot of people, not me, unfortunately. I just didn't really care for it. I don't know if I grew up with just Call of Duty and was like, I'm sticking with this or what.

But Oh, yeah. It is really I mean, like, once you get the feel of it, it gets really addictive. Is that the one where you saw soldiers? Is that the one where, like, you can switch, like, in the campaign mode, I should say, where, like, if you die, you go to another guy? Yeah.

That that was, like, the beginning of the game. And then after that, it just goes into, like, a different stories of, I think, characters. Okay. Gotcha. Gotcha.

And you said you had a couple of other answers for this one too? Yeah. And the second one, I would have to pick, Dead Space Remastered for the PlayStation five. I I've been wanting to, get the remastered version for a little while now, but just never had the money for it. But, I mean, I played the original Dead Space, one of the scariest games of all time.

Yeah. Same here. Yeah. The the remastered is really worth it. They they really went all out with it because, there's, like, a lot of side missions you can, do and stuff.

Oh, so they added on to it? They didn't just remaster the graphics? Like, they really just added on to it? Or Yeah. Like, like, everything you felt like I don't know if you ever heard of the, animate the animation version or the movie or whatever?

No. I haven't. Oh, yeah. Well, they made movies of it. And, everything you saw in the movie, they put into the remastered version.

Okay. Interesting. I'll have to add that to the list, and I'll even tell Victor, like, hey. You should stream this to see if he, gets scared on cam. Oh, man.

If if he does, you gotta let me know what is, what did he stream on? YouTube? Or he was streaming on Twitch, but I think he said at some point he's gonna start streaming on TikTok, and he's on everything with the same username. It's just Victor Wilt. Oh, okay.

I I gotta I gotta follow him then because I I would I would watch, definitely. He's fun to watch while streaming, and so he's gonna appreciate this, free plug as well on the air for to find his to find his channels. K Bear, what's happening? What's up, peaches? This is Vortex.

Hey, Vortex. What's the most addictive game you've ever played? I would I I would say probably Call of Duty, but ever since I switched to PUBG, I I never went back to Call of Duty. I I don't think I ever tried playing PUBG. I've seen obviously people online playing that game before, but I mean, it's it's it seems like it looks like it's fun, but I think I went with the Fortnite crowd.

I tried Fortnite, but it was too cartoony for me. I like the more real and I know this is not saying much, but I like the more realism of PUBG and then and, Call of Duty. Right. Yeah. I mean, Call of Duty now, have you tried playing Black Ops six?

No. There's so they they gotten really weird with all the weird skins and and gun skins and everything. I was about to say, dude, do not go to Black Ops six if you're wanting realism. I got killed by a Ninja Turtle a bunch of times. Yeah.

Sounds about right. I mean, that's where they make their money is with all the skins and stuff, so I get it. But PUBG has done in a little bit with the skins and the and the but for the most part, the weapons and the outfits have been relatively tame. Mhmm. So Yeah, man.

I get it. More realistic, you know, more realistic for sure. Well, right on, Vortex. Appreciate that answer. Yep.

Have a good one. Hey. You have a great weekend. K Bear, what's the most addictive game you've ever played? You ready for the nerdiest answer ever?

Okay. Dungeons and Dragons, baby. Oh, yeah. I'm still I'm still mad to this day. My, friends and I set up a campaign, spent all night doing so, and then nothing ever happened out of that.

Oh, I've I've been there a few times. My brother's been playing the same campaign with his brother and with his buddies for, like, fifteen years, the same campaign. Jeez. Must be nice. Oh, good for you.

Yeah. Good for them. Hey, Bear. What's going on? Just calling in, about the most addictive video game.

Yeah. Which one is it for you? There's there's actually three of them. Okay. Borderlands Fantastic.

Borderlands two, and then Saints Row the third. Wow. I thought you were gonna say Borderlands three. You threw me off. Alright.

No. No. I didn't I didn't really like shit. I didn't really like Borderlands three as well. Are you excited for four?

I am. Me too. Me too. I'm excited to see how they how they do with all the guns and everything. And Saints Row three, that was the one with the, the ogre in it, like the giant dude.

Am I thinking of the right one? Yeah. Yeah. That was a fun game. That was a you that was the first one.

They went away from, like, the GTA esque roots, and they went crazy with it and then went crazier from there and completely have changed everything. I don't think they've made a Saints Row. They they made one recently, but I didn't touch it because I heard it was really bad. It wasn't called Saints Row five. It was just called Saints Row.

Yeah. Yeah. I've, I I own a digital copy of it. I've played through it a little bit. The big towards the beginning, it's pretty fun, but it's it's supposed to be a remake at the very first one, but a better version.

Oh, okay. Gotcha. Yeah. No. The Borderlands, great choice.

Borderlands two, I think, was honestly my favorite. I replayed that story not that long ago. Handsome Jack's a great villain. But, Saints Row three, that's another great choice. Great answers here.
