Well, here we are, Tuesday, April 8, the week of just all this work to prepare for my next week off. I went home, last night after the show was over, went right into that bathroom. I mixed together baking soda and water to make that paste. I got my $2 grout brush from Walmart, and I just scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed some more to get rid of all that gunk between the shower tiles. And during all of that, one of my friends who's, coming out here to visit me in July just all of a sudden went on this drunken rampage on a Monday afternoon, started spamming the group chat, talking about, kayaking in Twin Falls because we have that planned for the, fourth of July weekend.
And I mentioned very briefly before I started the whole deep cleaning process that potentially one of the other friends in the group for the trip out here doesn't necessarily wanna go kayaking. And this guy just went off, and, I mean, just completely went off the rails. It was so annoying. I'm trying to scrub scrub scrub, and I got baking soda stuff all over my hands, and I hear my phone every five seconds. I had to mute all the group chats.
So annoying. I barely made any progress with that shower. Yeah. It was it was a hour long, maybe more process of me just scrubbing around each tile. I'll probably have to do it again maybe this weekend.
I don't feel like doing that again tonight. I feel like I'll move on to the kitchen, start putting away all the dishes that are right there on the counter. It's a fun life for sure. Work here, work at home, getting ready for, my vacation next week. Very excited for that.
If you wanna get a hold of me, you can always call (208) 535-1015 We'll be back with a much more enticing show coming up here in just a few more minutes. Tuesdays are typically the days when bands announce tours. Sometimes it'll happen on a Monday. But today, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace announced a co headlining tour with Return to Dust. They're gonna be in Salt Lake City September Twenty Seventh at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater, formerly known as the USANA Amphitheatre.
I need to get that one posted on our concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. I saw a bunch of other places we're celebrating. Blink one eighty two also announced a late summer, early fall headlining tour, and they'll have Alkaline Trio open up for them. That, unfortunately, is not coming into work close. I'm sure they're doing some, some giant arenas with that one.
I'm assuming because Blink one eighty two is just huge. So you can find what shows, which tours are making their way to our area, Boise, Salt Lake City, even right here in Eastern Idaho by simply going to our concert calendar that's always available to you at riverbandmediagroup.com/calendar. Also, if I ever miss a show, feel free to hit me up on social media at Brendan Peach. You can find me on there. You can message the K Bear page as well.
And you can also find the concert calendar through the shortcut on the K Bear one zero one, alt one zero one, and Cannonball one zero one apps. Alright. So this is not the first goring of the year, but it's the first tourist getting in trouble at Yellowstone, at least making headlines. MSN.com posted this not that long ago. When was it posted?
Four hours ago. A Yellowstone National Park tourist was sentenced to jail for getting too close to Old Faithful. That's right. Angela Flaherty of Seattle. She was sentenced to seven days in jail after pleading guilty to coming within 10 feet onto the Cone Of Old Faithful, violating a federal law.
And I'm sure there's no signs there. Right? Well, of course, there is. And I'm sure it's common sense not to get that close to a geyser. But sure enough, you know, tourists, they don't listen.
Overall people, we've talked about it many times before, overall, people do not listen at all. And the law requires foot travel in all thermal areas and within the Yellowstone Canyon between the Upper Falls and Inspiration Point must be confined to boardwalks or trails that are maintained for such travel and are marked by official signs. She was also ordered to pay a $40 fee on top of the jail time. So and she's not the only visitor who has gotten too close to the attraction in recent years. I'm sure we'll see more and more of these stories pop up, and we'll soon we'll soon see the first goring of 2025 from the bison.
Does a petition really solve anything? We've talked about this plenty of times, that petitions don't do anything, especially a change.org petition. However, I will sign this one to put googly eyes on New Jersey transit trains. Yeah. I just saw this.
It got shared. A 15 verified signatures so far to put googly eyes on all of the New Jersey transit trains. Now googly eyes on trains has been a massive success in Boston. Now has it? Have they add actually added googly eyes, or is this some sort of, like, online joke?
I feel like this is a a chat GPT generated description. Googly eyes on trains has been a massive success in Boston. Everyone doubted the googly eyes at first, and now seeing them as the best part of people's day. If Boston could do it, so can we. Let's bring a smile to the New Jersey commuters.
Let's put googly eyes on the trains. Can you see the vision? And the guy who made the whole petition said, if New Jersey Transit agrees, I'll personally pay for stick on googly eyes myself. There will be no cost to the taxpayer. It's proven.
It's joyful, and it's 100% risk free. Email me at googlyeyesnj@gmail.com. Do they make googly eyes that big? And how much are those things? They have to be quite expensive for the giant ones because if we're putting giant googly eyes, actually, I don't know.
Giant googly eyes, Amazon twelve inch. Okay. Well, I'm seeing here 18 inch white inflatable glow. Those are inflatable. I don't need what inflatable.
12 count giant wiggly eyes. I mean, they could be I don't know. They could be expensive, but the guy said he'd pay for it himself. And, does this affect my day? No.
But I could only imagine some people actually going onto the tracks to take a picture of the train from head on to show off the googly eyes. And next thing you know, they're ran over. The Pittsburgh Pirates have apologized to the family of Roberto Clemente after an ad for a canned vodka drink replaced the Hall of Famer's logo on the right field wall at PNC Park. The change was spotted when the Pirates played the Yankees over the weekend, and it caused quite the stir among Pirates fans. Pirates team president, Travis Williams, claimed the change was an honest mistake and that the logo would return to the right field wall.
Williams said that the area was used for ads pre COVID and that what they when they didn't have a sponsor, the team added the number 21 logo to that part of the wall. With the NFL draft coming up in less than a month, there's been plenty of chatter about Chidur Sanders, Deion's kid, who's regarded by most as the second best quarterback available. Rumors have swirled that Deion might advise Choudhury to avoid certain crappy teams. In a recent interview, Deion said he's not going to get involved. Instead, he's going to let the process unfold normally for Chodor.
That means the team that picks Chodor won't have to deal with any drama at least on draft day. And Netflix has had a lot of success with the Formula one docuseries Drive to Survive. And now the streaming giant is looking at another type of racing, Race for the Crown, which, debuts on April 22, offers a behind the scenes look at horse racing throughout the Triple Crown season. It features interviews with owners, jockeys, and trainers, plus lots of horses in action. No.
Thank you. But you know what? There's definitely a fan base for that. That is it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on Kay Barrel one zero one. Something I could have mentioned during the Shot Clock Sports Update is that last night, we had a nail biter of a championship game for the, NCAA men's basketball tournament.
The Florida Gators secured their third national title first since 02/2007 with a sixty five sixty three victory over the Houston cougar Cougars in San Antonio last night. Despite trailing by 12 points in the second half, Florida's supporting cast kept the Gators in the game just long enough for Walter Clayton Junior to get going in the second half, erasing a 12 deficit on their way to a sixty five sixty three win. Clayton, who had been scoreless in the first half, finished with 11 points, seven assists, entering the final four's most step most outstanding player award. Reflecting on his teammates, support, Clayton said my team held me down until I was able to put the ball in the basket. The head coach, Todd Golden, at 39 became the youngest coach to win a national title since 1983.
Florida also helped me win $5, 5 whole dollars in the in office, tournament. I was really hoping Houston would lose because that would just kick me out of third place, and then, I wouldn't win anything. But sure enough, Florida won. Our new general manager, Kevin, he won the entire thing. He had Florida Houston in the championship with Florida winning in one of his brackets.
Had about a 70 plus points. Josh Tyler from class, he came in second place with, like, a hundred and I think he had I think he had a 70 exactly. And then I finished with a 62. At least I got some money. I got half the money I put in the joys of gambling.
Right? So Jason Momoa is actually gonna host the Black Sabbath back to the beginning concert July 5 in Birmingham, England, and it's only because he started pestering people for tickets. Yeah. He told NME, I don't know how I'm gonna host, but I'll figure it out. I'm just so excited to be there.
It's funny because I was begging for tickets, and now I turn out to be hosting. The first person he hit up for tickets, well, he hit up Metallica guitarist Kirk Kirk Hammett. Hammett told Metal Hammer that Momoa called me up about the whole Sabbath show. Like, can you get me tickets? I was like, bro, I had management send a message that Jason Momoa wanted to come to the Sabbath show.
And next thing I know, we'd been told Sharon Osbourne had called him to ask him to MC it. Momoa does have some previous connection to the Aussie camp. He filmed the music video for Osbourne's twenty twenty single, Scary Little Green Men, that, was teased on YouTube but never actually released. So, again, fame gets you places. I wish I wish one day I could do something like that.
Hit up some sort of band member, ask for tickets. Next thing you know, I'm on stage hosting some giant festival. Wouldn't that be nice? So down in Prospect, Kentucky, the Ohio River's been doing its best impression of a homewrecker flooding everything in sight. And Captain's Quarters Riverside Grill, instead of fighting the water, they just invited it in.
Well well, sort of. Sort of. They filled the entire restaurant with six feet of clean water on purpose. Why? Well, science, apparently.
Something about balancing pressures, pressure so the walls don't cave in, which is clever. Sure. But also sounds like someone just lost a bet. You know? Like, imagine showing up to work and your boss is just swimming through the dining room like it's normal.
Yeah. Just mop the ceiling when you're done type of thing. Well, I mean, the owner did a great job because the, you know, the restaurant's still intact. They're they're gonna be okay. I wonder if he just remembered that from science class or if he just is knowledgeable.
I I would love to know a thought process on how to do on why he did that because I would have never ever ever thought of that. And I'll say, you know what? Maybe I should remember this just in case, you know, it floods here in East Idaho, and I need to protect my apartment. So I just start putting water all over the floor. I'm sure I'll forget about this and end up just panicking.
Maybe I'd be the stupid guy, you know, tubing down the flood, tubing down the dirty water down the street. Somehow, I ended up on Yahoo News out of all places. Yeah. Very weird. Right?
And I had to do, like, an Internet double take when this headline popped up. I studied Hooters Girls for a living. Here's what I learned about their well-being. And I was like, which sick old dude decided to write this? Well, it's actually a lady.
Diana Brooke wrote this, this past Sunday. Yeah. She spent, years years studying Hooters girls, like, as a job, like, actual research with funding. She apparently worked there undercover, blending in, taking notes, learning the inner workings of Hooters' hierarchy, which honestly sounds less like socio sociology and more like the the plot of a very specific kind of reality show, like Welcome to Hooters Academy, only one can earn the golden pitcher or something like that. But turns out there's a lot going on under the surface, like complicated dynamics, rules, expectations, even emotional labor.
Still, imagine explaining to your parents that your college degree involved memorizing the difference between mild, medium, and nine nine one one sauce. You know? Academia is wild. Academia is wild. I can't even say the word properly.
More wiens, more nonsense. I feel like there should be a Netflix documentary, and most likely there will be, on the downfall of Hooters. And you know what? I'll watch it. You know, I'm having a tough time trying to figure out which one's the more, fat thing to do.
Not that long ago, I talked about the Kentucky fried chicken flavored toothpaste that you can get from HighSmile.com. I thought it was His Smile, but I'm like, why is there only one s? I believe it's HighSmile.com. They actually have a wide variety of flavored toothpastes, and I didn't know about it. But it is, like, $11 per tube plus shipping on top of that.
So there's that option that, you know, you like KFC, you like fast food so much, you're like, you know what? Let me brush my teeth with KFC flavored toothpaste, or you can ask for a Snickers themed coffin. This guy, Paul Broom from England, he was recently laid to rest in a unique Snickers themed coffin. He was known for his quick quick wit and mischievous sense of humor. He had, often joked about wanting such a coffin, and his family ensured his, wish was fulfilled.
So that's nice. The coffee designed to resemble a Snickers bar featured the phrase, I'm nuts, a no de bruise playful nature. So being buried can I can I see what this, coffin looks like? Can I click on this thing here and take takes me to it? Oh, it's not even like okay.
I see. Yeah. So it's like a regular coffin, but there's, like, stickers on the outside. Like, there's giant nuts. There's the bottom part looks like it's the Snickers getting unwrapped.
That's kinda cool. I I I personally think the fatter thing to do is to use the KFC themed, toothpaste. Does that make your breath also smell like fried chicken? That wouldn't be good. Right?
Because I I want something other than mint, but I I don't want something that's gonna, like, ruin my breath even more so after I brushed my teeth. KFC toothpaste. I can't get over that for some reason. You think it's easy being the Easter bunny? Think again.
You're out here hopping mall the mall trying to spread joy, maybe hand out some plastic eggs and jelly beans, and then, bam, jumped by a bunch of teenagers in Naples, Florida. Oh, yeah. Over the weekend, three teens, two 13 year olds and a 14 year old attacked the Easter bunny at the mall, just full on ambushed the poor poor rabbit, pushed the rabbit, pulled at the costume, shoved them around for absolutely no reason. The Easter bunny in question, a 24 year old woman just trying to make a buck and probably hating every second inside that giant sweaty suit. Luckily, she wasn't hurt, just probably rethinking every life decision that led her to this moment.
The teens got hit with misdemeanor battery charges. Meanwhile, the b the bunny's taking some PTO and a, therapist recommendation. Florida, man, it never ever takes a holiday. At first, I thought this was an April fools day prank, but I saw it was posted April 2. Texas is reportedly planning to test America's First Autobahn style highway where there's no official speed limit.
Is this a real story, or am I just reading something that some random guy posted on Facebook for clicks? Because, again, you can easily easily do that now. Well, I see here someone. This this is just a random person, multi car stand top retail expert. Why am I on LinkedIn?
Did someone post this on LinkedIn? Did they just put this post on there? Texas is considering a pilot program to test the nation's first Autobahn style highway featuring sections with no official speed limit. The proposed 25 mile stretch between Austin and San Antonio aims to cater to high performance vehicles and drivers seeking a high speed experience. The design includes extra wide lanes, advanced camera systems, and warning signs for slower drivers.
I doubt this is real. I doubt it big time. It doesn't even give me a credible source for the article. Just as a transportation official was quoted saying, we trust we we're trusting Texans to use good judgment and great tires. That sounds like it was a chat GPT generated parody article, very similar to the one that we posted on the Kaver page about lifted trucks being banned from Idaho, and there was people that actually believed it.
Come on. Come on. We're not that gullible. Stop doing this fakes fake rage bait online because this got a ton of laugh reacts on Facebook. And, yeah, I don't believe this is real.
You ever just hit that phase of adulthood where you wake up one day and just go, you know what I need? A giant dry erase wall calendar. Like, not a normal planner, not a Google Calendar. I don't mess with the online stuff. No.
I'm talking full giant monthly view, color coded, vacations tracked, house projects tracked, when to buy dog food when I get a pet tracked. I feel like I'm the manager of a midsize company trying to keep track of all the stuff that needs to be tracked. I have a small little calendar my sister got for me here in the studio, but it's not big enough for me to write on certain days. Like, it's, it's pretty funny for the wall. It's just it's a how to talk to short people wall calendar.
And what I put on there is, like, hey. I'm interviewing Johnny Hawkins this day. I'm interviewing this person this day. I'm taking this day off, that type of thing. But I wanna get a even bigger one and put it in my house so that way I can, you know, keep track of when taxes are due, when I need to get my oil changed, a whole bunch of other stuff.
So I feel like I've unlocked that level of adulthood where I need to get all my stuff organized, especially once in the once in the future I start having a family and stuff, and I gotta keep track of kids too. Oh, that's gonna be a nightmare. Now I talked about this question on the noon hour of madness and mayhem earlier today, talking about what is a piece of outdated tech you secretly miss. I figured I could ask you for the peach throne. Top answer, I miss when Google gave you the best answer, not the most sponsored one.
Google Images and Google Shopping basically merged years ago silently. I didn't even I didn't even know about that, to be quite honest with you. So if you wanna give me your best answer to this, what is a piece of outdated tech you secretly missed? Two zero eight five three five one zero one five. Call in right now for the peach their own.
K Bear, what's happening? Hey. What's going on, peaches? Oh, nothing much. Same old stuff.
What about you, man? Nothing much. Just working too. Yeah. I am, as you can tell by the sound of me, I am just exhausted, and it's only Tuesday.
So we'll see how the rest of this week goes. Yeah. I know. I thought it was Wednesday, honestly. Right.
Right. Yeah. So do you have an answer for it to Pete Throne? Yeah. I actually do.
Alright. What's a piece of outdated tech you just secretly miss? I would have to say the, Microsoft Zune, MP three player. I honestly never used one of those. Let me see here.
I used to have one. I used to have the, the bulky ones where they went, they kind of copied the, the iPad. Was it around the same time as the iPad? Because I know I the iPad is basically what everyone had. Yeah.
It was still around at the time, and then it got outdated because Apple got popular. Oh, so Zune was before the iPod? Yeah. Oh, okay. Gotcha.
Yeah. Yeah. I'm looking at this thing. It's, I I definitely do miss those, old school just music players like that. Yeah.
I I used to like the bulky ones, though, the the big Zunes. They used to hold a lot of music, and I had a whole bunch of, good songs on there, but I I got lost. So Alright. That's one thing I wish I still had, was my old iPod. I feel like that'd be funny to revisit what I had on there back then and all that.
Maybe I had Chris. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. I know right now.
Right. Right. Well, awesome, man. Well, thank you for that answer. Yeah.
No problem, Peaches. You have a good one. You too. K Bear, how's it going? Hey, Peaches.
How you doing? Oh, doing fantastic. You're here to answer today's Depeach the wrong question? Yes. Absolutely.
You best believe. Alright. What's that piece of outdated tech you just secretly missed? So first thing that comes to my mind is the Nintendo GameCube. Like, for real, the video gaming was, like, at its purest back then.
And, like, it didn't seem like every company wanted to, like, give you a kind of a a half game and then suddenly, you know, make you pay for the rest. You know what I'm talking about? Right. And they they also had bonus levels back then that you had to secretly find. You didn't have to buy DLC and then add add on.
You know? Exactly. Right. We sound like a bunch of normers with this with this question. You know, if if that's how it is, that's how it is.
But the simple fact of the matter is that, like, too many video game companies have turned into, like, these cash cows where they'll sell you a half game and then make you pay for the rest and they'll throw in a bunch of, like, you know, cosmetic details that don't actually mean anything. Like, it it was a lot it was a lot purer back then, for reals. And how do you feel about games going up to, like, $80.90 bucks now? I mean, if they can if they can deliver a good solid product that I feel, you know, like like that's worth it, then a %. But the problem is most companies aren't doing that anymore.
So it's yeah. It's gonna be $80.90 dollars for and then you're gonna have to pay, like, an additional, like, you know, $30.40 to finish the story. It's gonna be nuts. Right. Right.
I'm excited. I'm actually not excited. I'm, I'm kinda scared to see how much GTA six is gonna cost me because I feel like that'll be the first game. Oh, man. I don't know how many years that I'll pay full price for because all I've been doing is seeing what's on Game Pass, downloading those games and playing those.
Oh, yeah. And if it's anything like GTA five, you're gonna end up buying, like, four versions of it as well for four different systems. Yeah. And then also, like, oh, yeah. It's gonna be here forever.
That'll be the game. I'll be 40 when that game is still you know, they're still adding stuff. That's, like, twelve years from now. That's wild to think. But, yeah, man.
Thank you for that answer. I appreciate it. Of course. Hey, buddy. Have a good one.
You too. What's a piece of outdated tech that you just secretly miss? Let me know that answer. Two zero eight five three five one zero one five. Just looking at some of the answers for this to peach their own question.
I posted it on the K Barrel one zero one FM Facebook page. The Dreamcast from Jacob, Sega, Manny, keypads and iPhones, the actual buttons. I don't miss those. Really, I just don't. I do miss, however, landlines.
And instead of us having some, you know, crazy cell phone, I do miss just having a landline. Somebody said they missed a pager, though. I never used one of those. I feel like those things would have been a pain. I would love to know why this person misses a pager.
Katie also saying my iPad. Lot of different answers here. So, yeah, if you wanna answer today's the peach throne question, it's on our Facebook page, Kbert one zero one FM. What is a piece of outdated tech you just secretly miss? Hey, Kbert.
What's going on? Hey. I'm just calling in to answer your question of the day. What's that piece of tech you missed that's, what's the outdated piece of tech that you missed? I would say, CD players and cars.
Dude, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. I I completely forgot about that.
100%. Because, you know, like, I I do. I actually have CDs and, most of the, newer cars don't have a thing where I can slide my CD in and play it. It's like sometimes I don't have access to Internet or radio, and I I'm wanting to listen to my CDs. And most of the cars don't have that, you know, and that's something that really needs to come back.
That and, side note with that also, so many cars just have screens and zero buttons. In my eyes, that is, more unsafe than safe because, you know, you're, like, trying to change something and and you there's no surface. It's only a screen. You aren't able to feel anything. So you have to take your eyes off the road to look at it.
Definitely. Definitely. I wholeheartedly agree with everything that you just said, especially the CD players being taken out of cars. It took me, like, a couple months to realize that the new car that I have, the Santa Fe, didn't have a CD player. And I was so bummed out the very first time I saw that.
Oh, man. I'd be so upset. Oh. Yeah. Yeah.
Part of me was just wants to get a vintage car in the future, not only because I just wanna, you know, do a have a whole fixer upper, but also have that CD player just right there. Do it, man. They are way better. Right. Thanks for listening to Peach's Pip Party, the podcast.
