Ep. 159 - $88 Ice Cream, $75 Posters, and $25 Beer — I’m Not Okay - 04/10/2025

play Play pause Pause

Alright. Here we are. Pre Friday, a k a Thursday, only today and tomorrow to go, and then I'm gone for at least a short short while. Last night, I stayed an hour later catching up on all the podcast episodes that I hadn't uploaded that needed to be uploaded. It is all caught up now.

If you want to hear any previous afternoon show, you can find Peach's Pit Party wherever you get your podcasts. You can also go to RiverbendRiverbendMediaGroup.com. Now I don't know about you, but when you travel anywhere, do you like to plan everything out, or do you just like to show up and go with the flow? I'm more of a go with the flow kind of guy. Like, sure, I'll make some plans, but nothing too crazy to where I feel like I'm a celebrity going from one scheduled appearance to the next.

That would just drive me crazy. And there's always gonna be people that you don't see when it comes to making a trip back to your hometown. That's just how it goes. You kinda do what you used to do on Myspace, and you rank your friends. And you say, okay.

I wanna see these top five people, and the rest, well, if I if I see them, I'll see them. If I wanted to see everybody, I would make, like, a two week vacation in order to see everyone. I'm sure my uncle Sonny would probably wanna see me. I have a few friends that wanna see me. But now I've reached that point in my life where some of my friends that I've known since middle school are now leaving Southern California.

1 of them already left. He's go he moved to, Nashville, Tennessee. He's now there with his wife. Another one who moved two hours away from our hometown is going to move again to either Oregon or Massachusetts, which is pretty crazy. I have another friend who's gonna be going to Sacramento, which is still in California, but it's twelve hours away.

I'm not driving that far. You know, once you become an adult, everyone goes their separate ways, but at least now we have tons of methods of keeping in touch, like Discord. Of course, we got our smartphones. We got social media, all of that. I think social media killed the high school reunion pretty much.

But, anyway, if you wanna give me a call, you can over at (208) 535-1015. I still need to talk with Victor about about Traffic School powered by the advocates, if it's going to happen or not since I'm the one hosting it because he's out this week. Last time I checked, Lieutenant Crane was going to have to call in, so I'll keep you updated on that. You can also find Traffic School powered by the advocates available on demand wherever you get your podcasts, and I'll continue Peach's Pip Party here in just a few on on Kay Bear one zero one. Now this was some wild news last night.

The wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, Julian Lauren, she was shot by LA police Tuesday while they were pursuing three hit and run suspects. Yeah. I saw that headline immediately put it on our, Facebook page at K Bear one zero one FM. LAPD officers claim they were assisting the California Highway Patrol in finding three suspects following a hit and run-in the Eagle Rock neighborhood. Shortly into their search, they were checking behind a residence, for one of the suspects when they spotted Lauren outside a home with a handgun.

So police claim they commanded her to drop the gun multiple times, but claimed that she refused and pointed it at them. And then officers, you know, shot her right then and there, which is awful. But, I mean, TMZ reports that Lauren ran back into her home. And then thirty minutes later, Lauren and her babysitter emerged from the house with their hands up and surrendered to cops. LAFD paramedics took her to a local local hospital to be treated for non life threatening injuries.

TMZ reports that she was absentee booked for attempted murder, but KTLA reports that Lauren and the babysitter were released from police custody on Tuesday. So it's not clear if the DA will go ahead with the charges. And then it says here at the very end, Scott Shriner and Weezer are scheduled to perform at Coachella on Saturday. Yeah. We'll see if that even happens.

We'll see. This is definitely a great question. Once you start living on your own, you realize how expensive some things are. Like for me, I I get shocked every time I go to buy one of those mega packs of, paper towels or toilet paper. I go, do I really need that many rolls or do I go for the much cheaper two roll option, but then I have to buy them more frequently?

It's like buying $20 worth of gas and then, you know, you run out of gas pretty shortly afterward, and you gotta go back to the gas station. So what's something you didn't realize was expensive until you actually had to buy it? I saw this on Reddit. I'll for sure ask this for to peach the wrong later this afternoon. Outdoor furniture for sure.

For the longest time, I just wanted a simple patio furniture set, and everywhere, they were expensive. Everywhere. But the cheap ones would always sell out. Like, there'd be some cheap options, like tiny little chairs available at Target, gone within an instant. As soon as they put out their their spring summer collection, it's all gone.

A cemetery plot? Oh, that's gonna be a nightmare. Dental care, veterinary care, new tires for sure. Luckily, I don't have to deal with this, but bras well, I I did buy my ex a couple once and they were rather expensive. The fancy Victoria's Secret kind.

You know? Insurance, definitely. Child care, a mattress. Luckily, my dad bought me a new mattress when I, moved out here. He's like, I'll get you the new bed.

We just need you out of the house. Please. You're 24. Move out. What's something you didn't you didn't realize was expensive until you actually had to buy it?

I'll have to ask this later on this afternoon for it to peach their own. You might wanna start digging through old boxes, those old boxes in the garage that you most likely have because some of that eighties junk you forgot about, it is now collector gold. We're talking first edition transformers, original Nintendo systems, vintage Swatch watches, even those, chunky old school Casio keyboards. If you've got an old Macintosh or Rubik's cube or a legit pair of Air Jordan ones collecting dust somewhere, you might be sitting on a payday. I was looking here at this list that was put out there that, people are now selling these, collector's items from the eighties for huge bucks, and I mean huge bucks.

Looking at more of the stuff here, vintage, band T shirts, Polaroid cameras from the eighties, He Man and Masters of the Universe action figures, old school Sony Walkmans, pretty much anything eighties. If you just have it sitting there as a DC, a dust collector, you might as well try to sell it. Now this is hilarious. The two longest losing streaks in college baseball came to an end on Tuesday when New York's Yeshiva University, which had lost 99 straight games. Imagine that.

Imagine being on that team going back to 2022. They played Lemon College, losers of their last 42 games, which is still a ton, but compared to Yeshiva, that's that's not that bad. Yeah, they faced those two colleges faced each other in a doubleheader. Lemon College won the opening game in extra innings, snapping their losing streak and giving Yeshiva its one hundredth consecutive loss. But but the Yeshiva Maccabees battled back in the second game, one nine five to snap their streak.

I feel like they intentionally made those two schools face each other so that way they could both end their losing streaks for at least one game and then go back to losing. LeBron James is the all time NBA scoring king and a four time champion, but now he's really made it. He's in the Barbie universe. Mattel announced that the, LA Lakers star is the first professional athlete to have a Ken doll released in his likeness. The James doll will be one inch taller than the standard, Ken doll, Comes with multiple accessories designed by James.

Now it costs $75 and goes on sale April 14 at midnight through Target, Amazon, Walmart, and Mattel creations. I have a good feeling that that that thing's gonna sell out. And there's gonna be a lot of dudes who won't admit they bought one, but they'll have it in their room. Buffalo, New York might just be the most painful sports city in The US. The near misses of the Bills and the playoffs have been well documented.

But did you know that the Sabres have just missed the NHL playoffs for the fourteenth season in a row? That's an NHL record, and they are now tied with the New York Jets for the longest active playoff drought in pro sports. A lot of losers today in this Shot Clock Sports update that does it right here on Kabir one zero one. You know how everyone has now moved on to flipping Pokemon cards? Even the sneaker reseller guys have moved on to trying to make a profit off of these Pokemon cards.

There's this story out of Japan where they have this small town called Kawara. I believe that's how you say it. The hottest trading cards aren't Pokemon or even Yu Gi Oh. No. They're middle aged men.

Not even kidding. They've created this card game called or featuring 47 local is it Ojisan? Ojisan? Ojisan? I wish Russell was here.

He speaks Japanese. Older guys from the community, each with their own stats and special abilities. You've got mister Honda, aged 74, a retired fire brigade chef with the firewall move, mister Takeshita, the soba master, aged 81, and the all star, mister Fuji, a 68 year old former prison officer who's now the town's MVP and community volunteer. Kids are literally lining up to get his autograph. I thought this was cool.

The whole thing's getting, is actually the whole thing's actually boosted community participation as well and brought different generations together. I think that'd be fun. We should start the, trading cards for, K Bear DJs. Make three of the make three starter ones, Jade, me, Victor. Make Lou Brutus's a a special edition rare card, something like that.

I don't know. Be the first radio station to have her own trading cars. That'd be awesome. I've seen this story pop up in a few places, and I meant to talk about it earlier on in the week. This, lady took her kids to go get some ice cream at the, or on the National Mall, and she was charged $88 for four small cups of ice cream.

And she honestly thought the food truck vendor made it a made a mistake, but no. He the food truck vendor said, like, nope. Not a mistake. You are getting charged $88 because it's $22 a cup for ice cream. Food trucks are like the one place I know that are more expensive than a millennial burger spot.

Have you seen those memes about millennial burger spots? It's hilarious. You get charged, like, $18 for the burger alone. Fries are, like, $5. If you wanna make them Cajun, quote, unquote, where they just put seasoning on top, it's 7.

And then they say their sodas are handcrafted so they can charge you, like, 3 to $4 for one of those. You end up spend spending about, like, close to $30 for a burger combo. And you can just go to McDonald's, Jack in the Box, In N Out, any one of the Burger King, Carl's Junior for much, much cheaper compared to that. It's almost like those, those hipster spots at the farmer's market. The three most expensive things, millennial burger spots, obviously, a food truck in a high touristy area like that, and three, those hipster tents at the, farmers market where they charge you, like, $30 for a bag of popcorn because it's locally made.

Listen. If you buy a house that's from an iconic TV show like Full House, be prepared for tons of people to be outside taking pictures of your home. If you wanna live off the grid, this is the complete opposite thing that you should do. The iconic house from Full House, it just sold for $6,000,000. And the article that I'm looking at from, cracked.com gave out the full address, and I'm sure you can find the full address elsewhere.

But, yes, located at 1709 Broderick Street in San Francisco, Pacific Heights. It's 3,737 square feet. It's three stories. The interior has been somewhat modernized. It was built in 1883, and I've seen these houses in person.

These houses in San Francisco are no joke. Like, you pay tons of money for something normally, you pay tons of money for something incredibly small. I mean, $6,000,000 is kinda normal when buying a house, especially in San Francisco in California, of all places. It even offers views of the San Francisco Bay, but the house has been a magnet for fans attracting up to 1,000 visitors on weekends alone. Neighbors have described the situation as a nightmare with clogged streets, limited sidewalks.

I mean, could you imagine you just wanna make make a trip to the grocery store, you gotta battle through people taking pictures of your home. You can't so here's the thing. Us dudes, for some reason, just like to stare out the window. And every time I do that, I'm in, like, a t shirt and boxers. If I lived here, it would suck.

People would get me in every single photo. They'd be they'd be, you know, throwing up after they see it. What what is that? Why is that guy in the in the in the shot there? I can't tell what's worse.

The amount of people at this house or the people that, are throwing pizzas on top of the Breaking Bad house, which I think I'm didn't they put build, like, a giant gate around the Breaking Bad house because of that problem? Now I feel that one's definitely worse. That one's definitely worse. Peach's pit party on Cabaret one zero one. I just got reminded by not only the Idaho Transportation Department, but also the Idaho Falls Regional Airport because I followed them on Facebook.

Less than one month from now. Less than one month, I should say. Less than one month until you must have a real ID to travel on any domestic flight. You must have that star card. And I was thinking I was panicking slightly.

I'm like, wait. Do I have my star card? And I quickly got my wallet out then realized, oh, yeah. Wait. I, when I when I got my license out here years ago, I I got my Star card, and I'm gonna have to renew my license here shortly and update my picture.

Yeah. I was looking at it. I was like, man, no more hair. It all moved to my face. You know?

Do you also lie on the, weight on the star card? On the on the on the ID overall? Because I was looking at mine. I'm like, mine says two fifty. Yikes.

I wish I was. I wish I was. So I fell into one of those cursed corners of the Internet today. Apparently, George Washington kept a travel diary that reads, like, the world's first Yelp reviews. Like, yeah, father of the country, crossed the Delaware, but also elite level complainer.

He stayed at one inn and wrote, not a good house. The road was intolerable bad. That's 17 hundreds for one star, no hot tub, and the wagon parking was a nightmare. Another one he called a very indifferent one, which sounds harmless, but that's basically, colonial for this tavern ruined my life and I'm telling Martha type of thing. And, honestly, I respect it.

This guy helped invent a country, still had time to throw shade at a bad night's sleep. Meanwhile, I'm over here writing three paragraph essays on the Taco Bell app because they forgot my chalupa again. Today's what the headline has broken the Florida streak. It comes straight from Minnesota where a woman named Vanessa Guerrero literally journaled her crimes like it was the burn book for Mean Girls. She wrote an actual quote here, Totally stole a car today.

Something I never thought of doing. Super freaking out about it. Like, Vanessa, you're not on this, quirky coming of age arc. This is not a deleted scene from Lady Bird. You stole a 02/2004 Ford Freestar.

That's not a car. That's a beige apology on wheels. She sold it for scrap, told the cops she had no idea it was stolen. Meanwhile, her diary is like, dear journal, crime is fun. And where did police find that diary?

From her mom, which, by the way, just feels like a betrayal and peak small town energy. Like, imagine your mom turning you over, turning over your Lisa Frank confessionals to the, sheriff. Also worth noting that Vanessa was a DoorDash driver, which means at one point someone in Mancato got their Taco Bell delivered in a stolen minivan by a woman who was actively on probation and documenting her life like she's auditioning for True Crime the Musical. She's facing up to five years in prison, but on the bright side at least, she'll finally have time to finish her journal. So, apparently, there's this new trend on TikTok where Gen z is making coffee at home.

Like, they just discovered that you can, in fact, brew your own caffeine without needing a $7 oat milk vortex latte served by a guy with a nose ring and a superiority complex. They're calling it budget friendly barista hacks. The rest of us, we call it what our parents did every morning since, I don't know, 1972. Like, I watched one video where this kid was amazed amazed that you could use a French press. Bro, that's not innovation.

That's you reverse engineering the nineties. Next thing you know, they'll be like, hot tip. You can boil water on the stove if you don't have a smart kettle. Welcome to the resistance, Gen Z. You've unlocked coffee pot.

So, you know, on Facebook, people will literally complain about anything, and I mean anything. So I found the happy hour section of the, radio prep. Feel good stories. Right? This guy named Chris Owings, he enjoyed a long career in Major League Baseball that lasted eleven years, but he played for eight different teams in all.

That's a lot of traveling, a lot of moving. That long career started with Arizona. He was on the Diamondbacks, and recently, Chris returned to Arizona to visit a high school baseball team down there. Owen stopped in, surprised the mountain high school Jaguars brought gifts including bats, cleats, batting gloves that were used during his career. One player on the team, Noah Burra, described the visit by saying, it's kind of surreal.

You don't wake up every day and see an MLB player and get a new bat. Chris also presented the team with a $1,000 grant and took time to answer questions, share stories, give advice. One of the coaches told me, don't stop here, Chris told the players. You've gotta keep getting better, keep working, and, honestly, that's what got me drafted. Owens said he, hopes the equipment and the pep talk help put help the players push forward.

These are bats that have been in games, Chris explained. So to see them being used here is awesome is what he said. Now I asked Chad GPT. I'm like, hey. How would somebody on Facebook, if they wanted to be a downer, how would they react to this story?

And it it nailed it. I mean, there's a few different comments here. Eleven years, eighteen, sounds like nobody wants to keep them. Used gear? So trash from the garbage?

Trash from his, garage? Wow. A $1,000 grant. MLB pension must be really generous. I that that's definitely what somebody would put.

Cool. He gave a motivational speech. So did my regional manager last week. This is just PR to make himself feel relevant again. Another comment that's not real.

That's not real, but it would be what somebody comments on Facebook for sure. Now it's time for to peach their own. What's something you didn't realize was expensive until you actually had to buy it? I talked about it or talked about it earlier on the show. Childcare, for sure.

A new mattress, talked about that. Luggage, makeup, birthday parties, for sure. Weddings, definitely one, especially if it, if the wedding if the marriage shortly ends after that. Yikes. Big divorce.

No. Thank you. So if, yeah, if you have an answer for today's to Peach Tharone, call in right now. (208) 535-1015. What's something you didn't realize was expensive until you actually had to buy it?

Let me know. Alright. There we go. How's it going? Hey, Peaches.

How you doing, bud? Oh, doing fantastic. Happy pre Friday. What's, what's your answer for the peach throne? That's it.

So, I mean, I'm pretty sure it's already been spoken, but groceries are one thing, you know, that's kinda probably beaten down pretty well. But another thing, you know, I just, just, beer. I mean, I went and bought beer, and I was like, my goodness. How did a 12 pack of beer go from $8 to $12 in, like, six months? Now what is your what what what's your guess for how much beer is going to cost at the ACDC show at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena?

For one, like, 16 ounce cup, how much do you think it's gonna cost? K. So the last Dodger game I went to is about, you know, it was last year. I know you're a Dodger fan. Or at least I hope you're a Dodger fan.

Of course. Anyways, yeah. So last time I went down there, it was $16. I was thinking it was, like, $19 for, like, a Modelo. The ACDC, I'm guessing $25 for a beer.

Right. I'm guessing that too. Someone's gonna buy four of them, and it's gonna be a hundred dollars total, not without the tip, and then they're gonna spill it all and, you know, cry. It's gonna be fine. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, you know, you're a rock show. That's what happens. You know? That's what happens.

So, yeah. I'm guessing $25 a beer. Yeah. A hundred bucks for a four pack. Yeah.

Absolutely. Peach's pit party on KBART one zero one. I did some digging, and I found, well, I found some pictures of what potentially could be at the merch table at the, ACDC show next Friday. They're kicking off their tour tonight at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis and they have this really, really cool poster available at acdc.com I was looking at and this poster is so so cool. It has a giant Viking with, lightning coming out of his hands and then it says ACDC Power Up Tour twenty twenty five US Bank Stadium, you know, all that fun stuff.

But it's $75 for this specific poster. I spent 50 at the Primus show for that poster and I was thinking, I'm like, you know what? That's a little pricey for a poster but 75, I don't know. I don't know if that's because it's being sold online or if it's actually going to be 75 at the venue. I'm excited to see what potentially the Rose Bowl one will look like.

I might have to get it. But then I'm gonna be worried about, you know, taking it back here with me on the plane, having it get ruined in my backpack. I might need to roll it up and get a get a get, like, a poster tube or something. But I also feel like I'll I'll definitely have buyer's remorse spending $75 on a poster. I'll have to wait and see if somebody will upload the official merch table from the Minneapolis show tonight and see if there's anything for much cheaper that I could potentially take back with me.
