And here we are. It's pre Friday, AKA Thursday. I sincerely hope all is well with you. Hopefully, you're doing better than the band, Gel. They were supposed to open up for Spiritbox on their upcoming tour, the tsunami sea tour, which, by the way, that's gonna be in Salt Lake City, I believe, at the complex in May.
You can find that show on our concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. You can also find the shortcut to the concert calendar through our apps, the Cabir app, the Cannonball app, as well as the ALT one zero one app as well. But, GEL, this morning, very early this morning, they just posted, hey, everyone, friends and fans. GEL is no longer a band and therefore will not be playing any of our currently scheduled upcoming shows. The reason is pretty simple at its core, and then they go on to say that their former guitar player, Anthony Webster, has committed, quote, such heinous acts in trying to forward himself in his musical career that he's done irreplaceable damage to the band in the process.
They went on to say that he stole 10 thou tens of thousands of dollars from them, and the best part of that is that he left it all on record for them to eventually find. He spent it on his own rent, personal food orders, really whatever else he wanted to because for a long period of time, no one had access to the bank account or any accounts for that matter. But him, despite numerous attempts to gain access, they just couldn't do it. So not only that, but he also posted nude images of band members on Reddit for the world to see. Did that on purpose for whatever reason.
Yeah. Awful human being. Kind of a I believe he is the d bag of the day, which, by the way, you can hear that segment occasionally at 06:45 on the Victor Wilt Show. I feel like that dude completely deserves it for ruining that band. Gel, supposed to be was going to open up for Spiritbox like I mentioned.
I wonder if they'll put another band on the lineup or if it will just be Spiritbox, Dying Wish, and Loathe, which, like I said before, is where you can find all the shows coming to the area by going to our concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. So many people were posting on social media. I'm sure r slash sleep token on subreddit is horrible right now. I'm not even gonna attempt to look at it. There was a few people that texted me specifically about the presale codes for the sleep token tour because the, tickets went on sale today for the presale, and I think the general on sale is is tomorrow.
I don't really pay attention to stuff like that because for when I wanna go to a concert, I just, you know, get them through specific people and go. You know? Oh, good for you, peaches. I know. I know.
But I've seen a whole lot of people experience what my dad and I went through when trying to get those ACDC tickets. I still don't know how my dad got those, but he did because I tried in my car. Like, I tried getting in the queue to wait through Ticketmaster. I think I was, like, thirty second thousandth in line for my my chance to get tickets, but my dad waited, got through. There was a few people that gave up.
I think loyal listener, Quint, texted me saying he was, like, forty one thousandth in line. Another listener, thirty seven thousandth in line. And then the tickets all went away, which I assumed they would. A highly, highly sought after tour. That's why they're playing the Maverick Center, you know, one of the bigger venues.
People were saying, why can't Sleep Token come to the Mountain America Center? That that place only holds 6,000 people. The Maverick Center holds double that, I think, exactly. I think it's around 12,000 that the Maverick Center holds, which is pretty crazy that this band, almost a year and a half ago, a little more than a year and a half ago, was playing the Knitting Factory. They've just blown up ever since then.
One of the best things to ever happen to you. When you start that's how you know when you've made it as a band. I think I saw a question like that somewhere on social media, maybe Reddit, where I was saying, like, hey. How do you know you've made it as a band? When you start getting so much unnecessary hate, that's one of them, especially when you're in the rock and metal rock and metal, genre, John Ruz, that when you're also your songs get played on radio consistently, you're up in the charts, You're making a whole lot more money to where you can just, yeah, base your whole life off of your band.
I feel like that's also a key factor there. But, yeah, congrats to Sleep Token for, I'm assuming, selling out an entire tour. I didn't get the chance to listen to it this morning, but I'm assuming Victor got somebody else to papa scream the weather for our papa roach rise against under oath ticket giveaway. I saw another name was added to our sheet here. That means there's only one more shot tomorrow to try and win tickets for the show.
If you haven't heard about this, if you've been under a rock or haven't been tuning in to K Bear for some reason, when you hear that cue to call not right now, not right now, but when you hear that cue to call for tickets for Papa Roach, Rise Against and Under Oath live at the Maverick Center on April 3, you gotta be caller 15 again. Not right now. But when you are caller 15, you have to scream out the weather. And, I mean, scream it as loud as possible. We had some really good ones throughout the week.
We'll have to save those for sure. Shout out to everybody who's won so far. Let me see if I have the name list of names pulled up. Georgina, I think, was the latest winner. Tomorrow, one more shot.
The final pair of tickets. You'll have to listen for that cue to call at any time throughout the day, morning, midday, afternoon. I might even pop in here late tonight. I I would do something like that. Set my alarm for, like, 01:30 in the morning, drive over, see if anybody's paying attention, see if somebody will scream at the top of their lungs at 01:30 in the morning.
Papa scream the weather. The NCAA March Madness tournament has officially begun. Josh has been playing those games on one of his monitors in the, classy studio. Louisville versus Crichton. I think I had Louisville beating Crichton in four out of my five brackets, which did not happen.
Only one of my brackets is still perfect as of right now, knocking on wood. Nobody ever ever has gotten the perfect bracket. So I'm just hoping for the most accurate out of all the brackets on the wall. If you wanna see a little glimpse of our bracket wall, I posted a video of, Josh Tyler from Classy ninety seven showing it off on our Instagram at k bear one zero one FM. I think I'll I think I also shared it to our YouTube channel at k bear one zero one r m g.
I put up five brackets. Josh put five brackets. I believe Jill at the front desk put one. So did Maddie, our marketing assistant. So did, Victor did one last minute as well, which is awesome to see.
And I think he got one of the games correctly. Again, you have to be the most accurate. You don't have to be perfect because if you if you end up having a perfect bracket, people are not gonna believe you, especially in in today's day and age. You would you would have to officially fill it out online way beforehand. I did see the NCAA was giving away a car for somebody who would have the most perfect bracket.
That'd be pretty sweet. Right? Imagine you're driving your all new whatever it is. Somebody asked, hey. How'd you did you just buy that?
No. I won the, official March Madness tournament. I somehow got extremely lucky. Oh, good for you. And this right here is your Shot Clock sports update.
The Miami Marlins, they have the lowest payroll in Major League Baseball, and their cheap ways have extended to getting their minor league team some extra playing time. A since deleted ad on LinkedIn offered nonprofessional players a chance to play against the club's low a affiliate in Jupiter, Florida for a daily wage of a hundred and $50. The offer implied that joining the practice squad could act as a pipeline to becoming a pro player. The ad raised some suspicion, though, at the Major League Baseball Players Association, which now included which now which now includes minor leaguers. When the union asked MLB about the ad, they were told that MLB officials had already ordered the Marlins to scrap the plan as it would violate baseball's roster's rules roster rules and labor practices.
EA Sports is up in the ante for colleges, college athletes by offering $1,500 for their participation in the upcoming college football twenty twenty six video game. This is a bit of a boost from the $600 offer, offered last year and is due to the massive, success of last year's version of the game. The bigger payout will affect around 11,000 guys, which is around 85 players per team. I've been playing a lot of, EA Sports College Football twenty twenty five. I just created a giant quarterback, and I named him after one of my friends in the Discord call.
Made him look all ridiculous. He has, like, this curled mustache. For some reason, he's that player on the field that has his jersey sort of like a crop top, which I think would hurt if you were to legitimately do that in real life. But, again, it's just a video game. That does it for your Shot Clock sports update right here on Kay Barrel one zero one.
Peach's pit party on Kay Barrel one zero one with this NCAA March Madness, tournament going on. It's time for that yearly guessing game, which asks, where in the world are these schools competing in the men's bracket located? I mean, there's a lot of schools, tons of schools. I believe there's 64 that are starting out. Only one will win.
And you look at some of these like McNeese University. Where's that at? Lake Charles, Louisiana, Creighton, Omaha, Nebraska. There's a lot of these a lot of these schools in just awful cities. And I'm not trying to be mean, but when you're a star athlete, you wanna be a star athlete for, like, Florida State, San Diego State.
You wanna be in a highly attractive city. You don't wanna be in Omaha, Nebraska. I mean, Vanderbilt, Nashville, Tennessee, that's pretty good. Cincinnati, Ohio, Xavier. Drake, Des Moines, Iowa.
That that's a that's kind of like a letdown, isn't it? Des Moines, Iowa. Never been there, but from from what it looks like, I I wouldn't wanna pay money for an airplane, an air voyage to Des Moines, Iowa of all places. It is officially the, first day of spring, which, of course, it doesn't look like it here in East Idaho. Just happens.
I've been out here for now four years. I completely understand how Idaho's weather works. Expect the unexpected, essentially. There must be somebody new to the area that just joined the r slash Idaho Falls subreddit because, well, this guy was like, I'm tired of these real sunny days and then snow the next day. What's going on?
A lot of people commenting, hey. That's what happens here. It's it's basic. If you're new to the area, this is normal. Alright?
I mean, I'm now mad at my parents every time they mentioned to me, oh, it's 55 degrees. It's chilly in Seal Beach. And I go, oh, good for you, mom. Good for you. That's t shirt and shorts weather.
I mean, I'm out here wearing a t shirt and jeans on a windy cold day like today, and I'm just fine. There was that one time I showed up back home. My parents' very nosy neighbor named Linda. She was, when old people ask you this, it's so annoying. Does it it is I feel like only old people ask tell or ask somebody this, like, where's your sweater at?
It's freezing out there. Well, to old people, it is most likely freezing in Southern California. That's why all the old people flock to Florida. It's nice and hot year round down there. I think Linda sets her house at, like, 75 to 80 degrees year round.
That that would be like a sauna. I keep my place nice and cold. I rarely ever turn the heater on mostly because well, I'm a I'm a cheapskate and I don't want the utility bill to skyrocket. I'd rather be cold and pay less money than, you know, be nice and warm and pay a a ton. Well, spring is officially here today, like I mentioned not that long ago.
I think the break right before this one, Spring is officially here. First day of spring, that means it's uncuffing season for a lot of couples. The holidays, cold winter months known as cuffing season, where people cling to relationships whether they're with the right person or not. But with spring and summer weather on the horizon, breakups start to happen, which is always fun to see. Right?
Sunshine, longer days make people happier, more social, more adventurous, and that often means wanting new experiences. Basically, just like spring cleaning your house, some people are more inclined to clean out their personal lives as well, which is a dumb thing to do. Right? I I know quite a few people that have, that have done something like this, and it's awful. Breaks people's hearts, hurts people's feelings.
It's kind of annoying too. It's fun to see on social media when you're not involved. When you see couples break up, you see that giant relationship status at the top of their Facebook profile, and then you see it disappear. You see them update their profile picture. They now have a new look.
They're trying the best their best to attract someone new. Sometimes you'll get really lucky, and you'll see them start posting inspirational quotes to motivate them to get back to the way things were. Oh, I might be hitting too close to home, especially for me as well. Idaho's only rock station, K Bear one zero one. Forget quiet quitting these days.
Workers, they're revenge quitting. Basically, it's a huge take this job and shove it type of thing. People who are tired of their low wages, lousy treatment, they just quit their draw jobs in the most dramatic disruptive way, like leaving in the middle of a shift, quitting at a really busy time of year, even sharing negative opinions about the company policy. I've only ever seen one person just get up and leave during the middle of a shift. That's it.
I've never seen anybody else do anything come anything close. I know I never ever would do anything like that. I'm so afraid karma would come and get me. And, also, like, you have to have a plan before you leave somewhere. You can't just quit a job and then have nothing lined up afterward.
You can't pay the bills that way. I mean, if you can, good for you. I know a few people that have just quit with no follow-up plan, and it's weird that people will do that because it doesn't make any sense. Like, there's no no cash coming in at all. So good luck.
Good luck. And I don't think the company really cares either. Most big companies will be like, okay. Put a job opening online. They'll refill the position right away because there's a ton of people wanting to get hired.
You know, some people flip sneakers, others scalp concert tickets just like what happens with, Sleep Token starting their presale today and selling out of everything. But the real hustlers, they're out here slinging DMV appointments like it's the hottest club in town In Florida, out of all places, there's, scalpers that were caught selling free DMV appointments for $250 in Miami. Yeah. These scalpers amassed appointments using bots and fake accounts to exploit an online system. The tax collector's office spotted 200 suspicious appointments in the first three weeks after opening a new Downtown Miami location for driver's license services.
The Miami Herald reports. The agency has its sights set on individuals who are part of local driving schools as suspects in strangling the DMV system, which I mean, going to the DMV in a big city is 100% awful. That's what I love about the going to the DMV here. The most you'll get is a small line outside the building before right before it opens, which reminds me of my, I need to renew my license later this year. I also need to renew my registration, which I think you can just do that online.
Happens with me every year. I just renew it online. I get that state park pass even though I never go to the state parks. This year, I'm changing that. I'm gonna venture out in the summer.
I'm gonna do some fun stuff around here. The high price of eggs causing a lot of pain in the purse these days. There was a whole couple of months there couple of weeks, I should just say, where people were just going on and on and on about the price of eggs. It was getting quite annoying. There's people still talking about it, not as much as they used to be, talking about getting into buying chickens so they can grow their own you can have they can have their own eggs right there in their backyard.
But this one Florida man, he has found a much cheaper alternative, iguana eggs. Yeah. His name's John Johnson. That can't be his real name. That's horrible.
He's the owner of Down Goes Iguana, an iguana removal company. Green iguanas are an invasive species in Florida, and Johnson's business hunts them. Well, Johnson recently started removing the eggs from the dead lizards and whipping them up into iguana omelettes. He insists they don't taste any different. The chicken eggs, he says, it tastes like eggs because they are eggs.
Yeah. I bet he's wincing while also eating the egg going, mhmm. Yeah. These are great. Aren't they?
They're awesome. Stupid. Stupid. I mean, we could try it for Brad Eats even though Brad hasn't worked here in couple of years now. Ewe Snow from the Chili Peppers.
Not the song, but I'm more so just talk saying ewe to the, snow in general. Kinda tired of it for the, for the season. I'm ready to move on, head towards, well, allergy season that is spring, summertime. We get all nice and sweaty, be forced to put on sunscreen before every trip outside just because I know I'm I I burn very easy. Very easy.
Thanks, genetics. Thanks, parents, for being 100% European. I've talked about that story on the air about how I'm legitimately, after doing the whole twenty three and me test I know twenty three and me is a scam. They're taking your DNA and storing it somewhere. I did it because when I was an intern for Coast one zero three point five in LA, they had a whole partnership, a whole endorsement with twenty three and Me.
So they gave me one of those kits that would usually cost somebody, like, hundred and something bucks. Quite a lot of money, but I got it for free, did it, and my results came back % Northwestern European. Nothing else. Just big old white dude. Anyway, the seasons are always the seasons have their various pros and cons.
I wish there was a time of the year that I I think it happens, but I also wish it lasted longer, I should say. A time of the year where the high is, like, 60, the low is, like, 50 something. Oh, I love that time of the year. When it gets above seventy seventy five, that's I'm like, okay. Too hot.
My place doesn't have AC because it sucks. You know? We've talked about this plenty of times before on Victor's morning show. Some listener, I think it was Jeremy, shout out to Jeremy, was super nice enough to give me an AC unit, but all of my windows first world problem, I know. All of my windows slide sideways, so I need to get a specialty AC unit.
I might invest in one this summer. Depending on how my bank account looks, I might need to. I might do the tactic that Victor told me to do, get the 0% interest credit card for thirteen, fifteen months or so. Use it that way. Buy a nice weird window AC unit and, stay cool for the summer.
I I do really like when March Madness takes place. You don't even have to be into basketball to just join fun, as I like to put it. There's so many brackets on the wall in the, well, close to the break room here in the office. I got five of them up there. Only one, I think, is still 100% accurate.
I'm hoping it can stay that way so I can win the the few dollars that, gets the first place the first place trophy. If I win, I'll have my dad, you know, make make up a trophy. Maybe I'll make him do a maybe when I go back home in cal to in to California in April, I could put together the first, second, and third place trophies for the office. Because I I still remember how to do it. I did a presentation in third grade, how to build a trophy.
I think that was a part of the I think it was third grade. I think. Maybe. But I I do remember specifically. We had to do a how to report, and I had to learn from my parents at a very young age how to simply build a nice trophy because they own they own a trophy store, and it's done extremely well.
Glad they're still doing it. It's that busy time of the year. I can always tell when my when my dad's incredibly busy, the by the way he answers the phone. And he goes, oh, hey, Brendon. How's it going?
I know he's nice and relaxed. But if he goes, hello? Like, he's scared out of his mind, that's what I know. He's just he's losing it at work. And I wish I was making that Howard Stern money in radio to help him retire because he he he deserves it.
Luckily, I'll he'll get to see ACDC for, I don't know, the how whatever whatever time he's how many I don't know how many times he has seen ACDC. He got to see them back in the heyday. Very first time I saw them, 02/2008 when I was 12 years old. I know such a baby. Such a baby.
I'm excited for them at the, the Rose Bowl at the pretty reckless. Oh, it's gonna be a fun show. It's now that time for the peach their own. Back when I did that question, which one is worst? Worse, doing the dishes or doing laundry?
It was a landslide for doing the dishes, which I agree. Doing dishes, one of the absolute worst things. It just repeats over and over and over again. And it's even worse when you don't have a dishwasher and you just have to use one of those, scrub daddy sponges, put some soap inside, scrub it all down, put it on the rack, then put it away, then reuse it, repeat the cycle. It's terrible.
But there were people saying no dusting is worse than those two, which so I just thought, what is the absolute worst chore to do? Something you just hate doing, but you have to do it. Two zero eight five three five one zero one five. Let me know your answer. I I gotta say, dishes number one, dusting a very close second just because it's it's it's my nose goes crazy, and it's awful.
And I always hear my dad's voice in my head talking to me about, like, oh, look at that dust piling up on that on that Xbox there. It looks horrible. Need to clean up this place around here. What's the absolute worst chore to do? Let me know.
Two zero eight five three five one zero one five. That is today's to peach their own question. So what is the absolute worst chore that you just hate doing? Chore? Yeah.
Like, for me, it's doing the dishes. Oh, you said dishes too. Yeah. Dishes. I clean cars all day.
They're big dishes. That that's I mean, yeah. That that's even worse than the dishes. Yeah. I don't wanna go home and do dishes.
Right. Right. Do you have a dishwasher at home too? It's a portable one, and we changed the sink, so it doesn't work for right now. Oh, yeah.
I I just, I just wash them by hand, put them in the rack. Yep. And then I consider them all done when they're in the rack. That's one of my biggest red flags is, you know, just I leave them there, and then I'll pick from the rack what I need for the next time. And then repeat the cycle of washing them, put them in the the little rack next to my next to my sink, and that's it.
And that's it. And that's it. Heck, yeah. And when my sink's all nice and empty, I put that Fabuloso in there, clean it up, and there we go. Kaye Bear, how's it going?
Pretty good. How are you doing? It just Doing great. What's the, absolute worst chore to do? I have to say the toilet.
Cleaning the toilet. My biggest fear my biggest fear with that is combining stuff that shouldn't be combined and then creating mustard gas and just poisoning myself. Hey, K Bear. How's it going? The beaches.
This is Vortex. Hey, Vortex. What's the, absolute worst chore? Well, I put it in the K Bear group, but I wanted to call it in, as well. But I said chopping wood because I don't know.
It a lot of people in the group, put dishes and laundry, but, I mean, they're not really that physical. They're annoying. Sure. Gross with the dishes. Absolutely.
But if you if you ever had to chop wood, that's gotta be the worst up there, especially when it's cold. Yeah. And, I mean, not too many people have to do that, which, I mean, I I've never done I've never chopped wood in my life. That would definitely suck way worse than dishes, I would think. There was somebody else in the general chat of that KBAR group that said, about, what's it called?
Cleaning up cleaning out a pig pen. And Oh, yeah. That seems awful. Kay Bear, how's it going? Good.
How are you, PJ? Hey. Doing fantastic. Are you here to answer today's to peach their own? Yes.
I am. What's the, absolute worst chore to do? Okay. I got a a three list. Okay.
Number one, putting away dishes. I don't mind doing dishes. I hate putting them away. Two, dusting. Never ending chore.
Three, washing the windows. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You have to you have to go outside too and clean the outside of them? Yeah.
And then you have you're cleaning on the inside and the sun just happens to hit the window just right here, like, I'm blind. I can't see anything. Or it it goes to show that you missed a whole bunch of spots and they have to go back and redo it? Yeah. Or your cat decides to walk up to your window and go, everyone sneezes all over you.
Oh, sure. Like a cat. Yeah. Or even if you have, like, a pet that just will not stop looking out the window and they sneeze or lick the window for some reason and leave marks, and you're like, I just cleaned this off. Yeah.
