Ep. 147 - Room Temp Water Drinkers Can’t Be Trusted - 03/25/2025

play Play pause Pause

Here we are Tuesday, 03/25/2025. I sincerely hope all is well with you. If you wanna get ahold of me, you can over at (208) 535-1015. If you wanna try to win tickets for the fierce fighting championships, you can, just sign up within the K Bear app, the alt app, and the Cannonball one zero one app to earn your max three entries. You can just sign up on one app if you'd like.

Or if you wanna do all three, you can go ahead. Just don't do more than once per app. Alright? At some point this afternoon, I'll also give out that cue to call for whispering three eleven. And we'll, see if somebody can guess the lyric correctly, win tickets to go see three eleven Bad Flower and Sitting on Saturn live at the Portniff Health Trust Amphitheater in Pocatello on Saturday, August 16.

It's gonna be a great show. Even though I'm not the biggest three eleven fan, but I'm excited for at least another big show to make its way to the area. But, anyway, I was reading this story here prior to, well, starting the show about this, 81 year old coach, Jim Zullo. He's facing charges of harassment harassment in the second degree and has been summoned to court by cops as a result of well, he's a coach of a girls' basketball team. And I don't know the pretense of this story.

I don't know what happened beforehand, but the coach pulled the girl's hair. Like, pulled the ponytail, made her tilt her head back, and that was it. It was all caught on video. A lip reader supposedly revealed what he said, but, yeah, this is a high school basketball team. You can't you can't touch players, dude.

I get it because he's 81. He's used to his, older ways of coaching. I mean, I've heard many stories, not just from my dad, but from many other people who have played high school and collegiate sports back in the day and even myself playing in college at Fullerton College and Cypress College. Things can get very, spicy or intense at, practices, games. I mean, tons of stuff I can't repeat at all.

I mean, I barely had any hair, so they couldn't pull it. But, I mean, now they really can't. They can try pulling the beard, but I did have a coach when I was a kid, grab me from my collar and pull it up. That coach got in trouble too. I mean, I'm sure this coach being 81 years old, probably back in the day, got got away with a whole lot more than what he can now, but now he's out of the job.

He's completely done. I don't know if the school is gonna reward anything to that girl, but that girl is a senior. She was, tearing up for some reason. Maybe the game didn't go the way they wanted it to, but, yeah, this guy named Jim is it Jim Zullo? His last name, Zullo, had been a long time high school basketball coach in Upstate New York initially retiring in 1999 after a thirty four year career as a coach and just decided to come out of retirement in 2023, and that didn't last long.

So, yeah, maybe he's better off just retired and letting the younger people, coach the team and not touch the players. I was reading here that the the, Texas House of Representatives is considering a resolution that would make the Tomahawk ribeye the official stake of Texas. Do we have an official stake of Idaho or any other state for that matter? Official stake of Idaho. The finger stake.

Well, duh. Yeah. Okay. Well, Idaho doesn't have an official steak. The steak the state is known for its Idaho finger steaks.

That makes sense. Crunchy, breaded, or batter fried strips of whole beef often served with a nice tangy sauce that sounds delicious. Sounds pretty good. What's the official steak of California? Let's see if there even is one.

The tri tip is sometimes referred to as the California cut or the Santa Maria steak. Okay. Sure. Sure. But the tomahawk ribeye, the official steak of Texas representative Ken Keane, is leading the charge claiming the tomahawk ribeye is the most premium cut in the lone star state.

Comes in, this move comes in response to the senate's proposal to rename the New York Strip as the Texas Strip. Are we doing this type of thing now, like the Gulf Of Mexico, Gulf Of America theme, but we're now doing it with steaks? The New York Strip, the Texas Strip, who cares? It's steak. And, I mean, to me, steak is one of the more overrated foods.

I mean, it's it's expensive. You gotta be really good a really good chef in the kitchen to know how to properly cook it, keep all the juices inside. There's a lot of work involved. I'd much rather be lazy when I'm in the kitchen and just, I don't know, throw it in the, pressure cooker, throw chicken in the pressure cooker, cook it up that way instead. Cook it up something so cook up something else that's so much easier.

Me, personally, I have a huge fear of missing out on pretty much anything. Any holiday comes around and I'm not doing anything, I want to go out and do something, something at least. And I see this question on AskReddit. No matter what people tell you, what is something you're fine with missing out on Times Square on New Year's Eve? I want to experience that at least once.

But instead of being one of the many people sardine into the the area there, I'd much rather be a part of, I don't know, hosting it. Take over Ryan Seacrest's position. That'd be nice, wouldn't it? And I I think his biggest complaint about doing that was that there's no good food when the whole thing is over with because all the restaurants are closed, which I doubt. I doubt.

Victor and I made fun of that. You can listen to that. I believe that that break is available on demand as part of the, Peaches Pit Party podcast, one of the previous episodes. I don't know which one. But if you really wanna dig it up, you you sure can.

High school reunions now. I I was kind of bummed out. My first high school that I went to actually had a reunion, but it was the weekend after Thanksgiving, and I didn't necessarily want to just fly back for that. I could've, but I was mostly wanting to fly back home for Christmas. And then the other high school that I actually graduated from, Ocean View High School, didn't have anything with a high school, reunion.

I think they're only doing the 20 reunion, thirty year reunion, forty year reunion. They're not doing ten, which, I mean, I get it. But still, ten years is a long time. A lot of my classmates look entirely different. I mean, I look entirely different from back when I graduated high school.

Yeah. Instagram, it's causing a huge issue with mental health is what someone wrote. I wish I could be like that, but, Instagram, I just like to share memories. That's like my online scrapbook. Crypto, what is something you're fine with missing out on?

I might need to ask this for to peach their own later this afternoon during the 4PM hour. Well, this is terrifying. Almost as terrifying as the, story that I talked about on the air, which also terrified a few listeners about the guy that, picked his nose and ruptured an artery. He He almost ended up bleeding out. He had to go to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Well, if you have one of one of those massage guns, those Theraguns, they can be great for releasing muscle pain, but never use it on your neck, apparently. This video on Tik TikTok of this lady now I don't know if I believe her explanation because I don't really trust TikTok videos, especially when a girl's just talking to her phone. She talked about a friend who did just that. She put the massage gun on her neck, and that friend suffered a stroke. The friend's doctor says the massager may have created a blood clot in the brain stem triggering the stroke.

What's the problem? Well, the muscle in your neck, the muscles in your neck are actually very small, and it's a lot easier to hit arteries, major nerves, or other critical body parts. It's quite frightening to see stuff like this. I mean, I don't wanna I don't have a massage gun. I I don't plan on it now.

This right here is your Shot Clock sports update. Kentucky's men's coach, Mark Pope, and his wallet, they're both, very happy that the Wildcats made it into the w the w. The NCAA tournament's sweet 16 during his first year as coach. The accomplishment achieved a clause in his contract that gives him an automatic one year contract extension worth $6,250,000 and a $50,000 bonus. Nice solid, oh, good for you from Mark Pope.

Pope will need that bonus to pay a bunch of bills as he promised to give fans gas money if they drove from Kentucky to Milwaukee, which, which is where the team played during the first weekend. South Carolina pitcher Dylan Askew missed a start over the weekend because of an injury caused by a teammate. Askew was in the, bullpen at Arkansas's field with his fellow pitchers during his team's batting practice. One of his teammates crushed a home run, and, apparently, Askew wasn't paying attention as the ball just right in the head hit him right in the head. Askew ended up being placed in concussion protocol after the accident.

That would be my luck for sure. The Chesapeake Bay Sox is a minor league baseball team in Maryland. They hopped in the trend of doing a fun renaming stunt and came up with the Chesapeake Oyster Catchers. The rebrand also included a new logo of a catcher's mitt with an oyster inside. Yeah.

Well, if you see the logo, I can't describe what it looks like on the air. But, yeah, the team saw what the logo looked like, figured this out quickly, and is making the most of it by announcing that they'll be donating 10% of all oystercatchers merch to a, cervical cancer charity, which, I mean, that's a good way to put it there. That's a great thing to do. Kinda ride the meme, I guess. But, anyway, that does it for your Shot Clock sports update right here on KayBear one zero one.

Sometimes I think life around here isn't all that boring. There's things happening all the time. But then I see stuff like this pop up and I'm it's a huge part of the community. I I get it 100%. Even I grew fond of the, old water tower that basically is a symbol of Idaho Falls or should I say was a symbol of Idaho Falls.

The Museum of Idaho just posted on the Life in Idaho Falls Facebook group a, an event, the water tower tribute event. Join us as we bid farewell to the historic water tower at this free community event happening this upcoming Monday at 06:30. Are we gonna stand around the old water tower and sing Kumbaya? Is that what we're doing? Let me see what the description says here.

This event will feature a presentation by some team exploring the tower's history and significance followed by a community open mic. Are people actually gonna give speeches about the water tower? I mean, if it means that much to you. I'm not trying to knock this in any way, shape, or form, but to me, I'm just like, hey. It's a water tower.

Like, who's gonna provide this emotional speech? Is somebody gonna cry at this event? Like, I'm gonna miss it so much. You know what? I make fun of that.

But at the same time, when my parents decided to get rid of a tree in their front yard, I was kinda sad about it. So maybe maybe maybe people will cry, and it's valid. It's hard to believe that on this day three years ago, we lost Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters, of course. I mean, I posted a nice little tribute to him this morning, but three years, I mean, that went by extremely fast. I remember because I was getting back from an afternoon jog, and I opened up my Facebook because I was about to approach my apartment.

For some reason, I'm like, you know what? Let me see what's on Facebook right now. First thing I see is radio host Eddie Trunk saying Taylor Hawkins just died? What? And he, like, posted some status about it.

I'm like, no. This can be. I know Eddie Trunk has credible sources, but I'm like, yeah, I'll have to I'll have to dig into this. And sure enough, yeah, right as it was announced, he died. I, saw the news.

TMZ put up an article about it. And then I think at the time that there was a Friday night into Saturday that it happened. So I think one of us came in here to the studio and lined up a Foo Fighters song at the top of every hour. I kinda did something like that, but I can't believe it's already been three years since that happened. I should have played, the Foos as part of my or should have been my pick of the day, but maybe I can make up for that here in, just a few.

Idaho's only rock station, k Bear one zero one. The video that I posted in the KBAR one zero one Idaho Rock and Middle Facebook group about, Randy Johnson killing that bird accidentally. He pitched a, fastball right down the middle of the bird just somehow, someway just somehow, someway flew right in front of the baseball as it was in the middle of its pitch, and the the bird just exploded. Feathers went everywhere. Everyone you know?

It was on it was yesterday, twenty four years ago on that day that that event happened. And, well, Randy Johnson is now a I believe he's a concert and sports photographer. Randy Johnson, I think, is the tallest baseball player ever. Tallest professional baseball player ever. He's six foot eleven.

He's taller than me by, like, two inches. And the dude was one of the best pitchers of all time, and it's cool that he's now into photography. But I was thinking about him. Like, you know what? People are already complaining that I stand in front of them at shows.

I can't imagine that guy in the, photo pitch right in front of the stage. Are people gonna start attacking him, telling him to get out of the way? A hall of fame baseball pitcher that's trying to take photos? I would love to do something like that. Just take photos at concerts, put them up on our social media feeds.

But, I mean, maybe if Randy Johnson's getting away with it and people aren't getting mad at him for getting in the way or being too tall for people to see, maybe I can do it. Sure. I mean, I need to make the millions of dollars that like he did when he played professional baseball in order to get myself a nice expensive camera. So, I mean, I better start practicing pitching now. I still have time, right, to make it to the major leagues for baseball.

I just gotta learn how to throw a 100 mile per hour fastball, curveball, change up. I'm sure I could do that. Right? Again, I'm only I'm I'm joking. I'm joking.

Middle school fundraisers. Those unforgettable rites of passage that many of us would rather forget. Remember the endless catalogs filled with overpriced cookie dough, wrapping paper, other trinkets? We were all coerced into hawking these items to unsuspecting neighbors and relatives all for the promise of, you know, those glorious prizes like plastic toys or if you were, quote, unquote, lucky, a chance to be principal for a day, which I don't know if any if I knew anybody that won that or if they really got to do anything. I think they just got to hang out in the principal's office, but the real prize was the character building experience of facing rejection at every doorstep when it came to one of these dumb middle school fundraisers.

I was reading the story here about this, family outraged that this, fifth grader at a Mann Elementary School in Long Beach, California, very close to my hometown, literally the town next, next next door. But, yeah, she, raised a hundred and $60 for the school's fundraiser, and the teacher gifted her a prize, a prize that nobody would really want, a toy monkey, a toy toilet, and fake poo. Now I would be e easily entertained by that, but raising that much money for a school, you think they would do better. But I'm just thinking about these horrible assemblies we used to have where the overly energetic guy would go on stage, and he would talk about what the top sellers would get. They would get paraded around like heroes while the rest of us sat there plotting ways to outsell them next year or vowing to never participate again.

Oh, I wanna forget that. That that's the one part of my childhood that I absolutely hate. Just those stupid fundraisers. It was earlier on the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem earlier today. I'll try to get that podcast up, but I gotta catch up on the Peaches Pit Party podcasts first.

So, yeah, on the noon hour, we were talking about how well, we wanted to troll other groups besides the SiriusXM Octane fan club. My post from yesterday has close to 500 reactions, 300 comments, all pretty much attacking me. There's a few that are like, hey. I agree with what you have to say about Sleep Token being the greatest band of all time. But, a lot of them were just, hey.

You're an idiot. You're stupid. Sleep Token sucks. Blah blah blah blah blah. So I thought about it.

I'm like, maybe I could not get away with trying to troll the other station's Facebook groups like IMZ one zero three or one zero five the Hawk, Idaho country music fans. Not even close with classy ninety seven community. I feel like if I were to troll that group, it would be, I don't know, a crime to do so. I would get in major trouble talking to. Like, hey.

Why would you post whatever I post in the, the classy ninety seven community? So in the KBEAR group, I posted, well, not anything music related. I just said, hey. Give me an unpopular opinion, a nice hot take to talk about that would maybe rile people up. And I thought about, you know, the room temperature water people.

You got a lot of people who are just fans of room temperature water, and I think that's gross. Honestly, I do. I think I'd much rather have ice cubes and a cold water in my cup than a cup that's been sitting in my bedroom, and I go to take a sip. I'm like, wow. That was that was that was great.

So this whole post goes, room temperature water is garbage, and if you drink it by choice, I don't trust you. Like, what kind of criminal wakes up and says, yes. I'll take my water the exact same tempest, sadness and regret. Ice cold water is the only way. I want it so cold, it gives me a brain freeze and a personality.

I want it punching my why why did it it almost roast me? I want it to give me a personality. I want it punching my throat on the way down. If I don't audibly go, ah, after a sip, throw it out. Room temperature water is for people who clap when the plane lands.

It's for people who call it who call it sammies instead of sandwiches. It's for people who think raisins, balan, and cookies. Do better. Oh, yeah. One of my favorite phrases, do better.

I love those posts. Chill your water. Be a decent human. And then it also gave me hashtags, team ice cold, hydration war, room temp drinkers can't be saved. We'll see if that gets any action.

I posted it around the same time as my Depeach their own question, so I don't know. Maybe the Facebook algorithm won't like that, but, we'll see if anybody else decides to argue with me on that post. Go forward it. Go for it. It'll be a fun argument.

So there's this apartment complex in New Jersey. Right? Well, turns out it was built on top of a 120 foot deep abandoned iron mine. Solid, literally, engineers say it's probably fine, which is exactly what you wanna hear when your living room might suddenly become a skylight for the people below you. Imagine signing the year lease and finding out you're basically living on top of the, the set from Descent.

Rent includes water, trash, and the slow realization that the earth beneath you has commitment issues. You just fall like it's the tower of terror, but, hey, it's Jersey. Right? If the, ground doesn't open up and swallow you, the, the traffic will. That should be, to peach their own question that I should do, have you ever had an embarrassing injury?

Well, emergency room doctors at a hospital in China, they have seen just about everything, but then a guy walked in with his girlfriend's hand stuck in his mouth. Yeah. A doctor's jaws dropped when a couple walked in seeking emergency medical assistance. The woman explained that she and her boyfriend were making a funny video for social media showing how she can fit her entire fist in her boyfriend's mouth. She achieved her objective, but then the boyfriend's jaw locked and she couldn't pull her hand out.

Doctors sat the couple down, got them to relax, then used a special device to open the man's jaw a little more until the woman was finally able to pull her hand out. Did they drive there? Did she have to drive with one hand on the wheel the entire time? Which one's funnier? The fact that she had to drive with one hand on the wheel and her other hand in the guy's mouth or the dude drove with her hand in his mouth, and she's sitting there with her arm out like that.

I can't tell which one's funnier. So Consequence posted on Facebook that the Malcolm in the Middle revival will star the original cast members. You got Bryan Cranston. You got Jane the mom. You got Frankie Muniz.

Christopher Masterson who played, well, I forgot which one he is, but then also Justin Barfield. The role of Dewey, originally played by Eric Per Sullivan, has been completely recast to another guy that looks just like classic Dewey. What was the casting call like? Would do they want somebody with big ears and silly looking? Were they openly looking for someone who looked like that kid from Mad Magazine and say, hey.

We want someone to sort of look like sort of look dumb for this role. They they I think they found a guy. They found a good replacement for him. They kinda look like they're brothers. Caleb Ellsworth Clark.

I looked up how old the original Dewey is, Eric Per Sullivan. He's 33 years old. Caleb Ellsworth Clark. How old is he? Doesn't say anywhere.

Has he ever been in anything before or is he like a new actor on the scene? Oh, apparently, he's been in quite a few movies. Back in the day, the silent scene. Never heard of it. Maybe he'll do a good job, but I don't really see the point in doing a whole a whole reboot reboot without the guy who plays Dewey.

If you can't do the original thing, why even reboot it in the first place? So earlier, I talked about this question, made it a brief break, and I figured why not ask it for it to peach their own to see what exactly people are gonna say. Where did I post it again? K Bear one zero one at a rock and metal. No matter what people tell you, what is something you're fine with missing out on?

I was looking at Damien's answer. Video games that become TV shows. Fallout was good though, is what he said. Fallout was a great, TV show. For some reason, I did my usual thing where I watched a few episodes, went, okay.

That's nice. And then just stopped watching it for some reason. For some reason. Kenny has a great answer here. One that I can relate to.

The ocean. I'm sure I'll eventually have to go because the wife is determined to go to Tonga, but Bill Hicks said it best. It's just where water meets sand. It's not that miraculous. Plus the ocean's scary.

Have you ever been trapped while the current's trying to suck you in? It's awful. It's awful. I've been in that situation. It's terrifying.

So no matter what people tell you, what is something you're fine with missing out on? Let me know. Call in right now to the show at (208) 535-1015. Hey, Kiber. How's it going?

Not too bad. James, glad to hear from you, man. No matter who what people tell you, what is something you're fine with missing out on? Bungee jumping or any of those, like, sky coaster things. Dude, I tell you, my friends and I did this hike in California called the Bridge To Nowhere.

And on top of the bridge, you can bungee jump for, like, a hundred and $20. You couldn't pay me a hundred and $20 to bungee jump off of that thing. Yeah. No. No.

It's I I feel like I'm so big, though, the thing will just snap, and sure enough, I'll just go flying right into the rocks. Yeah. Show me the the, the inspections, the last load test on the bungee cords, all that good stuff. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

And either men, I'm still not gonna do it. I would you rather no. If you were forced to no. I wouldn't say you're forced to. If you were paid if you were offered a billion dollars to either bungee jump or skydive, which one would you do?

Go skydive. Same here. Same here. Bungee jumping is just one big wedgie from what a lot of people have said who have already done it. Forget that.

Alright. Change of plans. Let's not do to Pete's throne right now. Let's instead give away some tickets to three eleven, Bad Flower, and Sitting on Saturn. First of all, you gotta be color 15.

And once you're color 15, that doesn't mean you win the tickets. That just means you're my lucky contestant for whispering three eleven. And if you can guess what exactly the lyric the ASM artist is whispering in your ear, you'll get the tickets to the show. If you can't get it within the ten second time limit, I do have my stopwatch out here. If you can't get it within the time limit, then I'll move on to the next caller.

So, I mean, you can still get in line after if you guess it incorrectly. But if you can guess it right away, boom, you get the ticket. So be caller 15 right now. 2085351015. Let's do this.

Alrighty. The pressure's on. You're you're my lucky caller 15. Oh, sweet. Lucky caller number 15.

I am ready to hear, the, lyrics. Alrighty. They're gonna be whispered into your ear as soon as it's done. You got ten seconds to try to guess what song it it is. And then if you guess it correctly, you win the tickets.

Are you a three eleven superfan? To be quite honest with you, not really, but I figured I would try. Hey, man. Appreciate you trying anyway. So here we go.

Here is the lyric whispered into your ear. I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored. She's always running from something. So many things ignored. Alrighty.

What's your best guess? I don't even know. Amber? That's not it. That was the song yesterday.

Just keep trying to call in, man. I'm gonna go through this I'm gonna go to this next caller here. Okay. Alright. K Bear, how's it going?

Good. How are you? Good. Lucky caller 15 did not guess it correctly. Are you ready to hear the lyric?

Sure. Alright. Here we go. I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored. She's always running from something, so many things ignored.

Alright. What's your best guess? I I totally missed what the whole game was. I'm guessing the song. I just heard caller number 15.

Yep. That's that's that's come on. You got ten seconds. Sleepy something. I I know you guys are doing a concert or something for that.

Incorrect. Let's move on to the next caller here. K Bear, how's it going? Good. How are you?

Well, lucky caller 15 did not guess it correctly. Caller 16 was completely lost. So are you ready to play this game? Let's do it. Alright.

Here's the lyric. I know a drug store cowgirl so afraid of getting bored. She's always running from something so many things ignored. What's your best guess? Drugstore cowgirl.

That's not the song title. Good that's incorrect. I'll have to move on to the next caller here. Thanks. K Bear, how's it going?

Good. How are you? Doing fantastic. Are you a three eleven superfan? Oh, I don't say superfan, but I'm a fan.

You're a fan, and you know some of their biggest tracks. Right? Sure. Alright. So caller 15 got it incorrectly.

Caller 16 had Caller 17 was incorrect. Let's see if you can get it here. I'll play you the lyric right now. I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored. She's always running from something, so many things ignored.

What's your best guess? Is it beautiful disaster? There we go. You are my lucky winner, man. You got the pair of tickets for three eleven Bad Flower and sitting on Saturn.

Right on. The previous caller said cowboy drugstore, and I think he was I I forgot exactly what his process was for that. I think he was just under pressure. But, yeah, man, he got it correctly. You won the pair of tickets.
