Well, it truly sucks to start off a show like this. I saw this post posted this morning on Facebook from the Dropout Kings band. Adam Lee Ramey, unfortunately, passed away, yesterday, the vocalist and founder of Dropout Kings. And the band the rest of the band decided to post a nice little, tribute to them, but you can find it. I'll probably share it on our Facebook at KhabAir one zero one FM.
Starts off by going live, comes at you in ways you can never predict. The roller coaster of chasing your dreams and building with your brothers and friends is a joy few get to know in the most genuine sense and, one, we were beyond blessed to experience with one another as dropout kings. Even still, we cannot always expect things to go the way we dream nor can we understand just how special each moment with our friends and family are until those moments are memories. And it goes on to say, with the heaviest of hearts, we share that our brother Adam Ramey has passed away. Doesn't doesn't really say the cause of it anywhere, but, does say his passion, energy, and love for music shaped dropout Keynes and touched countless lives.
So I figured today, as a, somewhat of a tribute, at least for my pick of the day, Dropout Keynes virus. Here we go. Well, it truly sucks to start off the show like that, but, you know, unfortunately, things happen like that. And, just as they put, make sure to cherish moments with your, your friends and family. You never know if that could be the the last time you ever see that person.
I mean, Adam Ramey I I believe that's how you say say his last name. Right? Correct me if I'm wrong. Adam Ramey, thirty two years old. Only 32.
Only about three years older than me. Crazy to think about. So that was at least somewhat of of a of a tribute for the guy. If you wanna get a hold of me, you can over at (208) 535-1015. We finally got my interview all ready to go for our YouTube channel at k Bear one zero one r m g.
Prior to the show, Sunday nights at the Mountain America Center, I had the chance to sit down with, Dale Stewart of Seether, the bassist, and also, I believe, the acoustic guitarist. At least he was on stage for when they performed Broken, so I'll I'll label him as that. But, yeah, it'll be up on our YouTube channel tonight. I'll I'll set the premiere for 6PM. And, yeah, I'll I'll share it everywhere, get people all, ready to go to watch it.
I mean, it's not the not the longest interview, and I wouldn't necessarily say it's the best, most in-depth interview you'll ever hear, but it's just me talking with Dale prior to the show. I I kinda like to avoid the same old questions that you would tip that you would typically hear somebody ask. Like, you guys put out an album last year. Are you working on more new music? Are you enjoying the tour?
I mean, obviously, I had to ask that to kinda make it more so an icebreaker. Like, hey. Are you enjoying the tour now that you've done it for so long? But, I I don't wanna spoil on what's to come. You can just find it on our YouTube channel, Kay Bear one zero one r m g.
My sit down conversation with Dale Stewart premiering tonight at 6PM, Kay Bear one zero one r m g. Make sure to subscribe. Alright. So Josh Freese unexpectedly got fired from the Foo Fighters. But Zack Starkey, that poor guy, the now, again, former drummer for The Who.
He was fired, rehired, and then fired again. A perfect example of fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. His replacement, Scott Devours, who plays in Roger Daltrey's band, has commented on his new gig because now he's the drummer for The Who. He writes on Facebook. What does it say here?
He writes on Facebook on Sunday with a short simple Instagram post. Pete Townshend and Roger once again changed my life forever. It's hard to express the tsunami of emotions that I'm processing since that incredible news, but there are a couple of things I feel compelled to say, and he goes on and on here. I feel bad for that poor dude, Zack Starkey. Hired, fired, rehired, fired again.
And, hopefully, he finds something else where he can stay there permanently. It kinda reminds me of just, like, what happens with radio. You know, one of my good friends who, had a job down in Salt Lake City, she made this big move from Southern California. She was Ryan Seacrest's producer. She then went to San Diego for a little while, then had the big morning show gig in Salt Lake City for $97.01 ZHT, was there for thirteen months, moved her entire life to Utah from SoCal only to be there for a little over a year and then was randomly laid off along with her cohost, and that morning show was no more.
Luckily, now she's found a more permanent spot in Denver as a cohost for, like, the Stark show. But I feel bad for her career. Imagine I'm gonna pick up your life that many times. So that's what happens in, radio as well as, I guess, if you're a musician. You'll move from band to band if you're one of the unlucky unlucky few.
I was highly upset when I saw this news announced this morning. It would have been really, really cool to see this tour come to the area. Falling in reverse, they have released a new song with Marilyn Manson. It's called God is a Weapon. It features Ronnie Radke, Manson taking turns on the verses while singing together on the chorus.
You can find the, video on YouTube. I'm sure we'll try to get a copy of it. I'll talk with more talk about it more with Victor. But Falling in Reverse has also announced the God is a Weapon tour that starts August 10 in Denver. So you have a little bit of time.
If you really wanna go see the opening opening night of the tour, there are nonstop flights from Idaho Falls to Denver with Allegiant. I'm not, I don't I'm not sponsored by Allegiant. I just know that. Like, they have cheap flights to and from Denver. I I would do something like that.
Go see the opening night of this stacked lineup. You have Fallen in Reverse, Wage War, Sleep Theory, Hollywood Undead, Slaughter to Prevail on the lineup. I mean, there's so many cool bands in the lineup. I don't know exactly who's gonna be in Denver for what, but, Wage War will be the opener. Oh, no.
Wage War will be the opener from August 10 through August 27. Sleep Sleep Theory will also be opening that same night in Denver. Hollywood Undead will join later on in the tour. So if you do go to the opening night show, you get fall into reverse, wage war, sleep theory, and I think there's Slotted to Prevail on it too. Let me check this one out.
I hate when they make you do, like, the whole, like, symbol matching thing. Let me see here. Okay. It's hard to read. August 10, Wage War.
Oh, Tech nine and Sleep Theory is what you get. Slaughter to Prevail joins also on August 29 along with Hollywood Undead. It goes on from there. Well, there you go. There you go.
But I have updated our concert calendar with what is coming to our area. Make sure to go check that out. Riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. As I'm sure you're well aware, Memorial Day weekend is this upcoming weekend. And as per usual, tons of people are gonna go on these little mini vacations all around the country.
And so this weekend, we will see roughly 45,000,000 Americans traveling away from home according to, triple a and of those, about close to 4,000,000 will be flying. It's only about a 2% increase over last year, but this year may present new challenges with more delays and cancellations due to FAA staff shortages and equipment issues. That's why the TSA is strongly urging travelers to arrive at the airport a minimum of two hours before their scheduled domestic flights. I don't think you necessarily have to do that here, luckily, at the Idaho Falls Airport. I've never dealt with the Pocatello Regional Airport, but I'm sure it's not that bad over there either.
I'm sure in Salt Lake City, it is going to be a nightmare. It goes on to say if your plans include flying into or out of Newark Liberty International Airport, which has been plagued with problems the past few weeks, you may wanna look into flying into another New York area airport. The one time I flew into JFK, it was like a maze getting out of there. It's awful. The, triple a says the most popular destinations for flyers this holiday weekend will be, of course, the stereotypical major cities like New York, Chicago, Seattle, Orlando, Denver.
It would suck to fly this weekend. I'm glad I'm just staying here. I I I like to leave. I like to go back home in Southern California when nobody else is really traveling. But, oh, yeah.
There's also the StarCard thing that's been going like, the StarCard is now implemented. Like, you have to have a StarCard or a passport to travel domestically even. Like, you need to have the StarCard. There's gonna be tons of people that most likely didn't listen, have will try going through TSA, and there's gonna be fights at the airports all around the country. I'm predicting it here now.
Bill Belichick's decision to coach college football and all the noise created by his girlfriend has brought a bunch of attention to his North Carolina football team. Thanks to the circus created by Belichick, North Carolina sold out its allotment of 20,000 season tickets despite a 25% bump in price this season. Scottie Scheffler won his third major of his career over the weekend at the PGA championship, and he did it with a golf club he'd never used used before. The USGA conducts tests of players' drivers to see if the club confirms, conforms to regulations. And Scheffler's club that he'd been using for almost a year did not make the cut.
Scheffler said that he didn't have a problem with the ruling. However, he thinks the USGA doesn't go for enough testing by only doesn't and doesn't go far enough by testing only 50 players in a tournament. Pretty crazy there. USA Football has announced the 12 players who are on the roster of the men's national flag football team, which will be competing for a championship in September. There are currently no NFL players on the roster, but football fans are keeping an eye on the situation with the Summer Olympics rolling into Los Angeles in a few years.
If NFL owners and players agree to take on the risk of injury and allow the players to be on team USA, it seems like they would dominate and it would be really fun to watch. It would be a flag football dream team. Stay tuned as all this stuff gets sorted out. Imagine that. Sort of like a weird different sport recreation of the nineteen ninety two dream team.
Go Team USA. That is it for your Shot Clock sports update right here on Cabaret one zero one. You know we like to talk about brutal beef and liquid cheese around here. Wendy's only in Canada has launched a new burger that will probably just clog your arteries by the end of this sentence, the grilled cheese cheeseburger. It's a quarter pound of beef, melted cheese, caramelized onions that's in between two grilled cheese sandwiches made using hamburger buns.
I'm looking at a picture of it. Yeah. It looks like too much. I'm shocked that it's in Canada. There's no word yet if this will make it its way across the border, but most likely, it will be.
This is the most American thing. And something like this now as I get older, this kinda looks just gross to me. You know, I see these videos all the time of different YouTubers going to the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas. I don't know if you've ever heard about that place, but they have tons of burgers there. I mean, it's just all burgers.
If you weigh over three hundred and fifty pounds, you'll eat for free. And it's real sad. It makes me so bummed out that I'm actually close to that weight. I'm a think I'm, like, three twenty. I I need to go back down to, like, two fifty, two sixty at least, something like that.
But I in high school, I was two forty, and I was skinny skinny. I don't think I'll be wanting to go to wanting to go back down to that shape just because it's it was so much running, so much conditioning I did back then. I practically was just covered in sweat every single day because I was exercising nonstop. But, yeah, the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas, they have this Octuple Bypass Burger. And I think it's, like, 40 meat patties, 40 pieces of bacon, 40 slices of cheese, and it's awful.
It looks awful. And if you don't finish it, you're then spanked in front of the entire restaurant. Something about big food just grosses me out. This grilled cheese sandwich, other people can enjoy it. I'll just gladly take either a grilled cheese or a burger.
I don't need to have both at the exact same time. I'm not the biggest Fortnite player around, but I have seen the memes popping up on Instagram. Legendary actor James Earl Jones, he passed away less than a year ago. He was, like, 96 years old. But thanks to AI, his voice now lives on in Fortnite.
The Darth Vader character has returned as a boss in the battle royale mode so players can ask Vader questions, which will be answered in Vader's voice using conversational AI. Thankfully, the father not not the father. I was gonna say he's not around. The family of James Earl Jones gave the blessing to the programmers of Fortnite to include this cool feature for fans of the Star Wars movie and Fortnite alike. But some of the stuff that they're having him say is just downright absurd and hilarious.
And it reminds me that, you know, if AI were to try to take over, people would probably still mess with it. I can't even repeat some of the jokes. That's what sucks is I I I would love to talk about it and play some of the audio on the air, but, I would get in massive, massive trouble and, wouldn't be here if I were to play any of those funny memes. You can just look it up for yourself, AI, Darth Vader, and Fortnite. Alright.
I know I'm gonna mark my calendar for this. This Friday, May 23 at 2PM eastern time, the iconic Oscar Mayer Wiener Mobiles will will trade their usual leisurely pace for high speed thrills at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as part of the Indy five hundred's carb day festivities. All six I didn't realize there was six. I thought there was only, like, one or two. All six Wienermobiles will compete in their first ever race, aptly named the Weenie 500.
Each vehicle represents a regional hot dog favorite. You got the chai dog, you know, symbolizing for the Midwest, the New York dog, the slaw dog, the Sonoran dog, the chili dog, shout out chili dog, Seattle dog. This event makes marks the first time in over a decade that all six Wienermobiles will be at, have been at the same location, making it a historic meetup for the brand. You know, I talked about these these stories previously about how they were wanting drivers for the, what's it called, the, for the Wienermobiles. They were wanting just a a a a wiener ambassador or something like that.
Like, the the hot dog, the glizzy glizzy ambassador. It was like the brand ambassador. Like, what I'm named here, but for the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, I I I kinda wanna see, is this gonna be televised? Can I see who can we make bets on which, which dog is gonna get number one? Of course, I'm gonna root for the chili dog.
Even though it's representing the South, the chili dog's the best one. I I don't like just a regular hot dog. I need to have chili, cheese, jalapenos on it maybe. Something like that. Peaches Pit Party, in Caber 101.
I talked about how busy this Memorial Day weekend is going to be. Make sure to travel safe. Don't be dumb out there on the road. And, next week, Monday, June 2, we are going to be doing a community cemetery cleanup. And so Victor and I will be at two different places entirely.
He'll be at Rose Hill. I'll be at Fielding Memorial in Idaho Falls. We'll both be there at 8AM. If you wanna take part and help us, you're more than welcome to do so. We've teamed up with Teton Auto Credit for this Memorial Day cleanup.
And if you're, like, I don't wanna travel to Idaho Falls, like, let's say you're in Rexburg. Well, one zero five the Hawk, Justin Pierce will be at the Rexburg Cemetery at 10AM, Monday, June second with Teton Volkswagen. Classy 97, Josh and Chantelle, they're gonna be at the Blackfoot Cemetery, 8 AM with Teton Honda. And then Katie Lee with Z103, she'll be at the Shelley Cemetery bright and early at 7AM with, Teton Toyota. And like I said, I'll be at Fielding Memorial in Idaho Falls.
Victor will be at Rose Hill. All of this happening Monday, June 2. You can find the info page on what I just talked about by clicking on honor and restore right there on the Kay Barrett one zero one app, the ALT one zero one app, and the Cannonball one zero one app. Real quick, some updates are coming to that place we all hate, you know, the DMV starting this summer. Idaho's rolling out some changes, new license plate designs, tweaks tweaks to instruction permits, more security stuff, even an option to add emergency contacts to your license.
Some of it kicks in July 1. So if you've got DMV business coming up, brace yourself. I know I gotta renew my my actual license, coming up on my birthday later this year. I do need to actually put that on my calendar here, my online Google Calendar. And, you can get the full rundown of what exactly is going to happen with these new laws bringing changes to, to Idaho DMV services by going to eastidahonews.com.
Check out the full article for yourself. You know what? I gotta give props to this teacher, this, person who posted a TikTok talking about how, her teacher canceled class using an AI generated pop song. It's gone viral. She's sort of, like, making this face like, hey.
What what's the point of this? Why would you do something like this? I I like it. I think it's cool. She canceled class ahead of time, and the song goes like, yo, fam.
It's your teacher. I'm down bad coughing like crazy. Head is feeling head is feeling mad. I'm not ghosting. Just caught a bug.
It's kinda catchy. I like it. I think it's better than driving all the way to college or walking all the way to your class, however you get there, and you see that sheet outside the door just saying, hey. I I I showed up today. The teacher's not here, so I don't wanna be marked absent, that type of thing.
I remember having to drive all the way from Seal Beach to Fullerton, and there'd be times where, like, most of my classes got canceled that day. And it's like, why even bother showing up to school, really? I'd be stuck on campus all day. At least this person warned her students ahead of time. I kinda dig it.
It's it's on it's on TikTok. But if you wanna check it out for yourself, it was posted by music four, the number four, life o seven one. You think if this person has a username like that, she would appreciate her teacher doing something, you know, sort of musically to make it fun that she's absent. There's no class the next day. You think you'd be stoked.
I was always stoked when class was canceled. I was like, oh, sweet. Cool. Thanks. Now I won't say I'm scared of snakes.
I'm scared of finding snakes in places they shouldn't be. You know what I mean? Like, if I'm expecting to go to, like, some place where there's gonna be a snake, I'm not afraid of them. But if they were to pop up, like, in my toilet bowl, I'd be terrified. How often do you pop the hood of your car just to take a look?
Probably, like, never. Right? Unless you're a car person. At least for me, I I never pop the hood. I just get in my car, drive, and that's about it.
This mom in Missouri, she was driving her kid to baseball practice when she noticed a snake casually poking its head out from under the hood. And not just any snake, a black rat snake. Naturally, it slithered right back into right back in like it owned the place. After pulling over and failing to evict the uninvited guest, she ended up driving it to to school, not the reptile school, her actual workplace, where it took a whole crew of workers, coworkers to finally coax the thing and send it back to the wild. Wildlife officials say snakes like warm, dry, engine y places.
So, yeah, maybe next time, check under the hood before your car turns into a mobile zoo. You know? I've dealt with cats below my car before. I always check under my car in case there's, like, a cat taking refuge underneath or there's a squirrel for some reason under there. I don't wanna hurt any animal.
I don't like snakes where they're not supposed to be, and I don't want it to be hurt. So, I mean, if it's just chilling in there, I mean, I'll take it to wherever it needs to go. You know, it is graduation season. Everyone's super excited to either go on to college, go on into their careers, maybe, graduate college, and now they're ready for adulthood. Maybe you're you're doing a elementary school promotion, and you're going to middle school.
I remember when my mom was like, my son's so old now. He's in the seventh grade, and now look at me. I'm nearly 30. Utterly absurd how fast time can go by. But there's always that question that pops up into my head, like, is it really that bad to be that guy that leaves after your name is called?
Do you really wanna I mean, of course, you have your friends that you wanna see graduate, but do you really care about those strangers you never met? I mean, to be quite honest, like, I don't. I'd be like, okay. I get my degree, and I'm out. My high school graduation was cool.
It was fun. We had a guy in a morph suit run all the way across. Like, he totally just, it's not streaking because he wasn't naked, but he he was in a morph suit, ran across. We gotta see our, school security guard run after him, and our school security guard, shout out, coach Melton. He was also a basketball coach.
He wasn't in the best of shape back then, and he didn't really catch the guy. The guy was, actually pretty fast. And I I know if I was the security guard, I wouldn't have been able to catch the guy either. I'm very slow. You know?
No surprise there. But, I was, I was, I enjoyed my high school graduation way more so than my, college graduation. The college graduation was kind of like a letdown, to be quite honest. It's like that concert you go to where the bands, you they don't they don't really do much, and the venue's kinda small and sucky. That's how it was for my my college graduation at Cal State Fullerton.
It was like the, the other cinema and television arts majors all cramped up into, like, this tiny little gymnasium. The communications majors, they were out there. The football field, they had giant screens. I didn't have any of that. It was just, hey.
Here's your diploma. Congrats. You got a useless degree in cinema and television arts. You should have done communications, which is, you know, not not all that much better. I'm probably doing better than most of those, communications majors.
Take that, fellow classmates of 2018. Where you at? No. I'm just kidding. I'm hoping for the best for them.
Well, this is one way to really show that you're ready to settle down. This 28 year old comedian named Tess ran the, Brooklyn Half marathon in a full wedding dress this weekend. Not for a bet, not for a cause. She's just really hoping to find that husband. She even wore a sign on her back that said, just hopeful, which is either super endearing or the plot of a future Netflix documentary.
Sadly, there was no groom waiting for her at the finish line. Tess said, honestly, I think I scare men away. No kidding. You're wearing a wedding dress before even knowing that the there's even gonna be a person there. I mean, she made national news.
Hopefully, there's some guy just as desperate as she is, and, it'll be a match made in heaven and they can run, maybe a full marathon together. If you were tuned in yesterday, you would know my, to Peach Thrown question was, what was the worst city you've ever visited, which had a lot of good comments on that one. There was a few people saying, you know, the generic answers like LA, New York, Denver, San Antonio, etcetera. But then there was a few that were just kind of out of the ordinary, which was what I was really looking for. Hunter, West Memphis, Arkansas.
Didn't really say as to why, but more so just gave me the city name. Would love to know that. But today today, we're going positive with it. What's the best city you've ever visited? What makes it, the absolute best?
I'm sure we'll get some of those people that are gonna brag and be like, you know, Pocatello is where it's at. Idaho Falls is where it's at, which is something you could do, but I'm really wanting to hear other answers too. Two zero eight five three five one zero one five. What's the best city you've ever visited? What makes it the best?
Let me know. Call in right now for To Peach Their Own. (208) 535-1015, what is the best city you've ever visited? What makes it the best? I'm looking at, some of the Facebook comments here.
I believe there was one person that tried calling in, and I I I apologize completely. I think I was out of the studio or I was talking to, Melissa who's trying to coordinate something here and that whole thing. So if, if I missed your call and you were that person, I apologize. Please call back (208) 535-1015. Today is to pitch the wrong question.
What's the best city you've ever visited? What makes it the best? I was looking at some of the Facebook comments. Nago, Okinawa, Japan from John. So much culture.
Super friendly people. Beach is beautiful. No worries ever about crime. I did see a few people talk about San Diego, California, which I think Victor did say now it is, like, one of the most expensive places to, rent an apartment at, something like that. It used to be rather cheap back in, like, what, 2020.
A couple years ago, there was cheap apartments to get to get in San Diego, but, now I guess it's, it's risen in prices. And Carlsbad is my all time favorite city. Close by Carlsbad, California, 1 of my absolute favorite places to visit. (208) 535-1015. If nobody answers or nobody decides to call in, I can just simply move on to something else for Depeach Their Own.
Hey, K Bear. Thanks for calling in. You have an answer for Depeach Their Own? Hey. What's up, boss?
Stewart. Do? What's going on, man? What's the best city you've ever visited? I wanna say San Diego.
I've, you know, I've been all over the place. I've been to DC, Atlanta, San Francisco, and San Diego's just got a special place in my place in my heart. You're in everywhere, man. And I I wish I I wish I could have, visited more. I'm trying to.
I'm trying my best to go to, Nashville here in the near future and, also go to Atlanta at some point, just because my friend lives in a city nearby. But, Atlanta is so hot. There's a reason they call it Hotlanta. Oh. I yeah.
I heard nonstop bad things about, you know, this this just the south with that humidity. Yeah. It's like last time I went there, when I stepped out of the airport, I'd forgotten about, you know, how humid it was. And it seriously felt like walking into a wall, walking out, just seeing those doors open. You know, you walk out from those nice refrigerated, airports, and then bam, right into that heat.
You're like, woah. Where does that come from? So I hate I hate dealing with the opposite when, like, you walk out of, like, a place like Winco or the Idaho Falls Regional Airport, and they both have, like, the heater blasting, and then you get back into, like, the Idaho winter, especially when you just escaped to, like, Southern California for the sunshine. And then Alright. You get right back into, the harsh reality that is Idaho weather and you're like, oh, alright.
Fine. Right. K Bear, how's it going? Good. I'm gonna answer to Pete Stearon.
So I'm going to have to say Germany. I went when I was 12. And it's, a culture shock, but I think everybody, if they can get the opportunity, should go. What's the best city you went to or what was the city you went to in Germany? It's been a while, so I couldn't remember.
But, I we I think we went to Italy. I can't remember because we went to, the Vatican, and then we saw the Colosseum. And then the day we were there, the day after the pope died. So it's been it's been, yeah, it's been quite a quite a while, but we went when I was, like, 12, I think. So I think it would be cool to be there for when, like, the white smoke appears and there's a new pope.
It'd be some crazy thing to see. Yeah. That one was interesting because when we went, the pope had died the day after, and they deliberated for, I think, quite a while. And then they put put black smoke out, which means they haven't, like, made an official decision yet. Right.
But it it was it was interesting because my aunt lives the only reason why we went was because my aunt lived in Germany, and she had just had her son. So we ended up going to help her move back to The US. But that's the only reason why we went. Which one did you like? More Italy or Germany?
It's a mix. I liked both just because there was, we ended up going to the Holocaust Museum. And, that one I liked as a little bit better because it was more, cultural and historical for me. But, I mean, it's it's mixed, I guess. Right.
If you could say. Okay. But, yeah, it was cool. Awesome. Thanks for listening to Peach's Pit Party, the podcast.
