Ep. 175 - Why Is It 95 Degrees in the East Idaho News Restroom? - 05/14/2025

play Play pause Pause

Today is just one of those days where I'm like, ugh. It's Wednesday, and I'm I'm in a bad mood. Feels like everyone else is in a bad mood. Not necessarily a bad mood, but it's more so just like a, I wanna go home, go lay down, take a nap, enjoy a day. For some I think it was because of the comedy show last night that I, for some reason, in my head, thought it was Friday.

Today would be Saturday. Woke up this morning, but but my alarm at 07:25, had to skip the morning shower, go right to work. So I did put it on deodorant. I don't I don't smell like a typical metal head. I have my degree sensitive spray.

Had to do an armpit check right there. I, wanted to mention this. Okay? I don't know if you've ever dealt with something like this at your workplace, but at ours, we have one restroom for the guys, one restroom for the girls. And if you really have to go and the restroom's being used up, you can walk all the way down to the other side of the building to go use the East Idaho News restroom, which I feel bad for doing because what if they want to use their own restroom?

But maybe they can come to our side of the building if they if that one's taken up, and that could be, like, a weird trade deal. Right? I go over to their restroom because ours was taken up. Somebody was in there for, like, twenty minutes. I'm like, you know what?

Fine. I'll take the extra steps because I gotta go. I go over to their restroom. The heater is on full blast, and I'm sitting there, and I think I'm in one of those weird gym saunas. I'm sweating trying to just use the restroom.

Why does it need to be that hot in there? I'm a guy who overheats anyway, but first world problem I know, too much heat in the workplace bathroom. Sometimes I like to go over there too just because there's some people here in the building. I'm not gonna name names, but when you see them come out of the restroom, you're kinda like, okay. That room is gonna stink.

I should go use the other one. That type of thing. I wish I could call people out. Nah. I wouldn't wanna do that.

Anyway, if you wanna get a hold of me, you can over at (208) 535-1015. will continue here in just a few on K Bear 101. I believe this has been brought up a couple of times how the younger kids, Gen z, Gen a, Gen a, Gen alpha are into knowing exactly where their friends are at, apparently. You know, Snapchat has that thing called the Snapchat map, which you can share your location with literally anyone who's on your friends list. And most people who are older think that's weird.

I I myself, I keep myself on ghost mode on the Snapchat map. There's no need for people to know where I'm at. I mean, I'm either here or at my place, at the grocery store, sometimes the gym. Those are the four main places. I don't really go anywhere else.

Sometimes when I go visit back home, you'll see me in Southern California, but other than that, nothing. Nothing at all. But, apparently, friends like to keep track of each other on the Snapchat map. They'll watch, like, the grape the the grape the great Snapchat migration. The Snap Map migration is what they call it where all their Bitmoji little cartoony figures all, like, go towards one area.

Like, if there's a party going on, you'll see your cartoony character and all the others all just converge into did I use the word correctly, converge? All meet up in just one spot, and they'll, all be hanging out with each other. Sometimes I'll look at it. Like, if I accidentally scroll left or something, I open it up by accident. I'm just like, oh, cool.

There's somebody right by me. And I'll be extra creepy, and I'll screenshot their location to my location and be like, hey. I see you're getting close. Then most of the time, there's no response. No surprise there.

I was reading this news about Oasis, about how, though, even though Liam Gallagher has joked about Oasis having a new album to go along with their reunion tour, the band's co manager has confirmed there is no new music on the agenda. So there's that. And I was thinking about it more so recently about how Oasis has, for the most part, Wonderwall. That's what everyone knows them for. It's their biggest hit, plays on the radio nonstop, especially if you listen to, like, any alternative station around the country.

And I was thinking about it because I do today music history on Cannonball one zero one. I break down three different stories, talk about that. You can hear that every every two hours on Cannonball, which, by the way, you should download the app for that too, available through any app store. And I was doing all this news about Oasis, about how they sold out their tour within, like, hours. It was, like, the world's biggest selling tour.

And I was thinking about I'm like, is Oasis really that good to people? Like, to me, it's just whiny and different, and it's not that good. And then I'm thinking like, oh, I sound like one of those, sleep token haters where you see every time on Facebook, I just don't get sleep token. I just don't get Ghost. I mean, I clear I don't go on Facebook and yell, I just don't get Oasis, but I say it on the air here.

But if you're an Oasis fan, sorry. There's no new album. Are there any actually tickets left for that, tour, or are they all sold out? And I I believe it's all international, isn't it? If you wanna go to a show in the area here, well, you can check out our concert calendar, riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar.

We all know concerts are expensive, but I was looking at this here. A new report breaks down the costs by songs or by song, I should say, for some of the biggest tours of the summer. You know, Beyonce, one of those artists I will never listen to. I'm just not a fan of her in any way, shape, or form. But with her cowboy, Carter, and the rodeo is it Chitlin Circuit tour?

Her show goes for about a hundred and forty eight point five minutes, covers 36 songs. Fans attending those shows pay an average of $490. That's a cost of $13.63 per live tune at a per minute rate of $3.30 sick 30 seconds 30¢. Sheesh. Lady Gaga's Mayhem Ball Tour is next on the list.

Her one hundred and thirty minute set covers 23 songs. So with an average ticket price of $321.33, set fans are shelling out about $14 per live song, $2.50 per minute of performance. Isn't that crazy? I always see stuff like this, and I get kind of interested. Lana Del Rey tops the list.

Her short eighty three minute, set on her summer tour features just 15 songs with an average ticket price of $240. That means fans are paying around $16.02 for each live tune broken down by time. It's about close a little close to $3 per minute of performance. Where's Taylor Swift in this list? Do they have that here?

I know she performs for, like, three hours, doesn't she? I know my sister was talking about that with me, how she, like, will go on and on and on. Taylor Swift has to be on this list. Oh, I see ACDC on here. They performed 21 songs, a show length, a hundred and thirty two minutes.

What's the average ticket price? A hundred and $93. So not not nearly as much as going to see Beyonce. So you're essentially paying about $9.21 seconds per song or cost per song. Cost per minute, not too bad there.

Yeah. About $1.46. Is Taylor Swift really not on this list? They went for all the big artists except for her? I kinda wanna know what her her stats would be.

Studyfinds.org. That's if you wanna find the study, look at it for yourself. There you go. In a move that's turning heads across the baseball world, Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred officially removed Pete Rose and shoeless Joe Jackson along with other deceased players from the league's permanently ineligible list. Manfred's decision ends the ban that, that Rose accepted from then commissioner Bart Giamatti in August of nineteen ninety 1989 following an investigation that determined Rose had bet on games while managing the Cincinnati Reds.

And Jackson, who died back in 1951, is now back in the fold even though he was swept up in the World Series fixing scandal over a century ago. Because of this move, both Rose and Jackson are eligible to be inducted into the Hall of Fame as early as 2028. What else do we have here? The 2025 NFL schedule will be released tonight. We already know that the Minnesota Vikings players betters, players better have their passports ready for the upcoming season.

The team will be the first in NFL history to play back to back international games in different countries. The Vikings will play the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 28 at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland. It's the first NFL game in Ireland, then the Vikings will head to England to take on the Cleveland Browns at London's Tottenham Oscar Stadium on October 5. Following HBO's success with Hard Knocks and Netflix's quarterback, Amazon Prime is now getting into the NFL documentary business. The home team, New York Jets, is a six part documentary series that follows six New York Jets players throughout the, 2024, '20 '5 regular season, which saw the Jets stumble to a five twelve record and the head coach and GM both get fired.

Amazon says the series will provide an authentic peek into the emotional journey these players and their families go on over the course of a seventeen week NFL season. That does it for your Shot Clock sports update right here on K Barrel one zero one. K Barrel one zero one, Idaho's only rock station. If you wanna go to Seether or Mudvayne, either show, Seether POD non point live at the Mountain America Center this Sunday. Very excited for that show coming up quick.

Four days away. And then also Mudvayne Static X Vended live at the Portneth Health Trust Amphitheater in Pocatello, Friday, October Third. Still got a ways for that one. But if you wanna win tickets to either show, listen out for the for that cue to call at any point this week. And then, also, if you want to, make sure to, have your name in the drawing, you can go to the app right now, the free Cabir app.

You can also go to the alt app, the Cannonball one zero one app as well. Sign your name up. Get your name in that drawing Friday. After, Victor's morning show is done and over with, we'll draw the names for the final winners for cedar, POD non point, Mudvayne, Static X, Vended, and Pokey. Gonna be two great shows.

I'm very excited for this year's, this year's concert season. Gonna be awesome. But, yeah, listen out for those cues to call. Try your best through the app, and, let's pack the house for both, especially coming up this Sunday. Cannot wait for Seether, POD, and Nonpoint at the Mountain America Center.

There's a whole lot of stuff going on this weekend like I talked about just a couple minutes ago. Seether, POD, and Nonpoint live at the Mountain America Center. There's also the twenty sixth annual second chance prom with class c 97 in Browning's Honey that's happening at the waterfront at Snake River Landing, Saturday from eight to 11PM. You can buy tickets for that, or you can just get the overall ticket information by clicking on the second chance prom link within the app. I'm looking at, what else what also we're doing that day on Saturday.

We're also gonna be headed to the Farmer's Market, the Idaho Falls Farmer's Market. We'll be there the entire time from 9AM to 2PM. It's gonna be me and then I believe Josh from Class e ninety seven. And I was trying to find what exactly I can't there's so many emails that I get. Oh, here it is.

Okay. Because for this visit at the Idaho Falls Farmers Market, we're taking donations and bringing them to the Idaho Falls Community Food Basket. And so they sent us a list of what exactly they need. The foods that they're in most need of, cereal, canned chili, mac and cheese, canned tuna or chicken. Those are the main four right there.

Cereal, canned chili, mac and cheese, canned tuna or chicken. Then you also have canned soup, one to two pounds of dry pasta, peanut butter, pasta sauce, side dishes, not mashed potatoes, but more so stuffing flavored rice, noodles with sauce, canned pasta like SpaghettiOs, ravioli, etcetera, one to two pound bags of rice, canned veggies, or pretty much any other food you wish to donate to the Idaho Falls Community Food Basket. Just look for the Riverbend Media Group tent at the Idaho Falls Farmers Market this Saturday. I will be there around eleven, I think. I think Josh is doing the, the morning shift that Saturday.

He'll have the tent. He'll be setting up the tent and everything, and I'll be the one to tear it all down. And he'll have, free prom tickets, I believe, as well. Like I said, it's a a very busy weekend ahead. We got those events, then we have Seether on Sunday.

I'm gonna be one tired peach on, on Monday. Luckily, I'll get to sleep in a little bit. Jade's letting us, kinda stay at home, get in closer to ten, which is which is nice. Thank you, Jade. SpaceX, you know the company.

They're getting sued. They were literally monitoring how long one of their employees was in the bathroom. The dude had Crohn's disease. Legit medical diagnosis told them that. He had a note from his doctor, and they still gave him grief if he took longer than ten minutes.

Ten minutes. That's not a break. Really. They told him if he was over the limit, he would get written up like his intestines operate on some corporate approved timer. You think the company launching billion dollar rockets into orbit could grasp the concept of a digestive system with issues?

But nope. But, apparently, having a chronic illness didn't stop them from saying his performance was lacking, which is rich coming from a workplace that's, you know, apparently, just one long episode of survivor cubicle edition. So now he's suing for disability, discrimination, and a bunch of other violations. And, honestly, good. If the bathroom's the most hostile place at work, maybe the company isn't as forward thinking as it claims to be.

Ten minutes. I find it funny. I like how SpaceX is only good really at launching lawsuits and making people mad. But, sure, you know, Mars sounds like a great idea. Let's let's definitely keep doing that.

Deadlands with Limbo. I think that was one of maybe it is the first time I've ever done a Peaches pick of the day and It's So New being the same song. But, you know, Deadlands, they're awesome. My interview with Casey Carlson, the lead singer, is available on demand wherever you get your podcasts. I might need to add well, here's the thing.

What I'm gonna be doing here from here on out is going back through my old interviews, seeing if there's video versions of those interviews, and getting those slowly but surely uploaded to our YouTube channel at k Bear one zero one r m g. I'm gonna start with my oldest interview, which I believe is Chris Daughtry that's available on video. And I saw it and went, like, wow. Babyface peaches. Four years can really age you, man.

But, Casey Carlson and the rest of Deadlands, they're awesome. They're gonna be in Salt Lake City, by the way, July 29 at the Soundwell opening up for Scene Queen. It's one of the shows marked in my personal concert calendar that I'll be for sure trying to attend to see them finally live. They canceled the show in Boise last year. I forgot for exactly what reason, but, I was hoping to make it to that one.

But, yeah, this July, you can find that show on our concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. And, tomorrow, another new track coming your way for It's So New at the top of the five PM hour on Peach's Pit Party. So a Tennessee family takes their three year old daughter, Laney, to Ford's Theater in DC, you know, the site of Lincoln's assassination. They give her a brief history lesson. A long time ago, a man named John Wilkes Booth hurt president Lincoln.

Laney processes this and decides Booth is now her personal boogeyman. Back home, bedtime becomes more a historical horror story horror show. Laney's convinced. Booth is under her bed ready to snatch her stuffed animals. Her mom tries to reassure her, hey.

He died back in 1865. Laney, being three, interprets a long time ago as probably yesterday. The fear escalates. Laney starts bringing up Booth in everyday conversations. At church during a sermon about love, she declares, you know who we don't love?

John Wilkes Booth. Hard to argue with that. Her mom shares this saga on TikTok, so the mom is now exploiting her child's irrational fear for views. It goes viral. Turns out Laney's not alone.

Other parents chime in. Their kids also developed irrational fears of historical figures. After museum visits, Ford's Theatre even sends the family some themed merchandise. So the next time you think about giving your toddler a history lesson, maybe skip the assassination part, unless you want John Wilkes Booth to become the new monster under the bed. Maybe Lee Harvey Oswald?

How about him? So Denver, Colorado having a bit of a, identity crisis. On May 15, tomorrow, Ball Arena somehow managed to double book Katy Perry's Lifetime's tour and a Denver Nuggets playoff game. Same night, same building, two very different kinds of fans. None of them happy.

You've got sports bros furious that might miss a pivotal playoff game, pop fans who already bought their outfits, possibly plane tickets to go scream cry to teenage dream, all because someone at the arena forgot how calendars work. Arena officials, they're now scrambling to figure it out, reschedule, relocate, or just wait and see if one of them backs out. Like, yeah, maybe Katy Perry decides she's the bigger person, gives her stage to Jamal Murray, Nikola Jokic, and the boys. Or maybe Nikola Jokic drops his warm up ball shrugs and says, fine. Let her cook, which I feel like he would do something like that.

If they can't figure it out, maybe they just merge the two halftime show becomes California girls, and every time someone hits a three pointer, fireworks go off, something like that. Honestly, I just wanna know who who looked at a playoff schedule and went, yeah. This is definitely the night we we slot in the bubblegum pop. Peak planning right there. Good luck to Denver.

I I am curious as to see what exactly they'll do. I really wanna follow this page on Facebook. I found this from I'm from Denver. For some reason, that popped up on my Facebook feed. So maybe I'll give it a follow and, see what the ballerina does.

Today is what the headline takes us to Las Vegas where one man had a very normal rational reaction to his rent going up. Just kidding. He got drunk and tried to burn the place down. Down. Police say 66 year old Clinton Hogan Junior wasn't thrilled about his rent increase.

So instead of, I don't know, calling a realtor or moving, he grabbed a bottle of whiskey, some paint solvent, and a lighter and decided the leasing building, the leasing office, should go up in flames. Officers showed up and found him still holding all the tools like he was starring in an off brand Home Alone reboot, the geriatric arson edition. He told cops he did it because he was mad. He had to move out. Now he gets to move somewhere new anyway.

It's got, bars in the windows, roommates who snore, and a daily breakfast of powdered eggs. Vegas, Vegas where the rent's high. The coping skills are on fire. Sorry. Terrible joke there.

I know. Peach's pit party on K Bert 101. I I just went on the Reddit. First thing I saw was this question. Maybe I could ask if for the peach their own.

What is the most unfunny comedy movie that you have ever seen? The top answer says Sack Lunch. What is that movie? Is that supposed to be, like, some sort of, I've never even heard of this. Google search Sack Lunch movie.

Okay. Here we go. Rating 9.1 out of 10 on IMDb. How many people rated it? R slash Seinfeld posted or r slash Seinfeld on Reddit, somebody posted sack lunch was the best movie of 1997.

So it was just before my time. Stars Heather Locklear. Is that Christian Bateman? Justine Bateman. Neil Patrick Harris, who looks very young, and Michael Douglas.

Okay. I'll have to add that to my to be watched list. Sausage Party, another answer here for the most unfunny comedy movie. Buddy and I saw it in theaters. We both hated it, and we laugh at all sorts of stupid crap.

I I particularly liked it. I thought it was pretty funny. Somebody said the, Coming to America sequel. I shut it off after about thirty minutes because I just didn't laugh once. That's how I feel about certain comedy movies that people say, oh my god.

That movie's so funny. How have you not seen it? So I'll go watch it. I'm like, this was supposed to be funny? The most recent one, unfortunately, I might have to rewatch it again.

I watched it the first time. I was like, this really isn't all that funny. It just more so irritates me. It's National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. For some reason, I just watched that, did not laugh at all once.

Paul Blart Mall Cop. That movie is, like, supposed to be a comedy for kids, isn't it? Yeah. I might need to ask this question for tomorrow's to peach their own. What is the most unfunny comedy movie that you have ever seen?

It's a pretty good question there. So I just talked about the unfunny comedy movies. I scrolled down a little bit further on Reddit, and I see this question from AskReddit. What celebrity did something awful that people just kind of forget about? And, wow, I mean, I forgot about most of these things.

There are actors out here with rap sheets longer than their IMDB pages, musicians who have committed actual felonies. Somehow, they're still selling out tours, starring in family comedies. Maybe they've since passed, and they're revered as legends. Oh, it's like, oh, he committed what now? But he did drop that fire album back in 02/2007, so bygones.

Not saying cancel culture is the answer, but maybe a little situational awareness, right, wouldn't kill anybody. But, yeah, I see some of them here. Like, James Brown did some pretty pretty wild things, pretty horrible things. Jackson Pollock, he lived off of his wife's work, and he, apparently killed his mistress slash girlfriend while driving drunk. And his art sucks.

Was it his no. Wait. Was it his wife that made all those paintings? Because every time you see, like, a Jackson Pollock painting, you it's let me let me look it up again. Jackson because I I'm having trouble thinking of what exactly his his style is.

Yeah. It's like all these colors. It's like if someone just sneezed with a bunch of pain in their nose, that's what it looks like. Did his wife actually do all of that? Coco Chanel.

Another answer here for celebrities that are actually who have done horrible things when they were alive but are praised like saints. Wait. Isn't Coco Chanel still alive? Or am I thinking of a different person? Coco Chanel.

She died in 1971. Who am I thinking about? Who's married to Ice T, the rapper? He's married to Coco Austin. Alright.

Two different people. Alright. It's now that time for to peach their own. And today's question, I was just like, you know what, Chad GPT? What's, what's a question that could potentially give or potentially listeners could give some fun answers to?

First one, it says, what's something totally normal that instantly makes you suspicious of somebody? Like, they don't have a favorite pizza topping. They call the cops way too fast. They only like chicken tenders. That's, that's my answer for this one.

If somebody comes up to me and says, you know what? Let's go to this restaurant if they have chicken tenders. No. Thank you. I'm not gonna hang out with that person.

I I just if you eat like a five year old, that makes me suspicious. Makes me like, do I wanna be friends with this person? To peach their own, I feel like this one's probably gonna have, like, no answers whatsoever, or I'll have to delete a whole bunch on Facebook. Do I already have him? People that don't listen to music.

That's a fantastic answer. Thank you, Amber. Yeah. For people who say, like, I'm just not into music, that's weird. That is something weird, man.

100%. What's something totally normal that instantly makes you suspicious of someone? Two zero eight five three five one zero one five. Let me know your answer. Well, I was chatting with a different listener off the air about a different issue.

They just called right when Tepeach Thirone started. There was somebody else calling in, and then right as I finished with that other person, they hung up. So somebody was trying to call in for the peach their own for today's question. What's something totally normal that instantly makes you suspicious of someone? Let's look at some of the Facebook comments here.

When they say they hate something but refuse to elaborate, kinda like how I feel about people who just, for some reason, hate sleep, token, and ghosts because the Internet told them to. Robin, when they say they don't like drama, but then they're, like, the most dramatic person ever. That's a good one. I did like Stewart's answer. This question This question.

Driving with the seat belt alarm going off. Yeah. I mean, people who wanna drive without the seat belt on overall or they just, quote, unquote, forget to put it on, how do you forget? That's the most important thing. If I were to, like, drive someone who didn't have a seat belt on and we got into a car accident, they would go flying through the window, and I'd be okay and somewhat safe in my seat.

Safer than them, they just became a windshield cannon. So today's question, 2085351015. What's something totally normal that instantly makes you suspicious of someone? Let me know their answer. Let me know your answer.

K Bear, what is happening? Hey. So regarding that, completely normal and, you know, making somebody suspicious Yeah. Yeah. So from an army point of view, somebody who's been in the military for thirty years that have never deployed.

Yeah. I I I can't relate to that because that but that just sounds fishy overall. Yeah. So you ask anybody that's in the military, what they think about somebody who's never deployed, especially since 02/2001, and instantly, they're gonna be suspicious of them. Do you like to watch those, stolen valor compilations on YouTube?

Those are pretty fun to watch, aren't they? Oh, dear god. I love those things. Dude, some of those guys, they're, like, completely just fake, and they still try to go they they still try to convince themselves. Yeah.

I I I was I I'm enlisted just for Oh, yeah. They are soggy they are soggier than a soup sandwich. Thanks for listening to Peach's Pit Party, the podcast.
