Wow. It has been extremely weird the past couple of days. Yesterday and today, it's, it's hump day, May twenty first twenty twenty five. It's Peach's pep party here. I tell you, I'm I'm wondering what's going on with everyone.
Is it the weather? Is it the time of the year? I don't know what it is. So first of all, last night, I, went to go do a Walmart pickup order, the very first time I've ever done anything like it. Right?
And then I see my friends post in Discord. Hey. We're, like, hanging out in the driveway for whatever reason, like a bunch of old dudes. I'm like, you know what? Let me just go over.
Go say hi to them. Hanging out. I get handed over one of those Michelob Ultra Zero drinks, and I'm like, okay. Cool. So I post about it.
People thought I was actually drinking. No. It's the zero the zero alcohol, nonalcoholic, you know, Michelob Ultra. And so one of the people that I know that I sent the Snapchat to of me holding the drink was, like, say it said something. I forgot exactly what.
But then I said, yeah. I heard they're they're pretty bad. And then they go on this whole thing about how I'm I don't actually try things before making an opinion about it, something like that. So that threw me off last night. There was that whole thing to deal with.
And then I go on to r slash Seether. Now here's the whole thing. We talked about this already twice today, but I wanna make sure I can talk about it here on my show considering it did happen to me. Before my interview with Dale Stewart of Seether, I asked r slash Seether on Reddit. Hey.
Do you guys have any questions for me to ask Dale? I'm about to interview him prior to the show in Idaho Falls. I get all these questions from, you know, their quote, unquote fans asking, telling me to ask him, why haven't you changed the set list in so many years? Why haven't they released this box set? Why haven't they released a deluxe edition of the surface scene so far?
Blah blah blah blah blah. Like, all these, like, really just, like, almost threatening questions. Like, if I were just to ask a string of those questions, it would have been awful. They would have been like, what's wrong with this guy? Like, what what's he what's he trying to get at?
So then I ended up saying I I my my mistake was is that in my post, I said, I've I've seen the complaints about the set list in this, subreddit. I'll potentially ask about that. And they took that as, like, some sort of golden promise. So then the interview happens. I ask none of their questions because all their questions, like I said, were extremely just dumb and mean for no reason.
And when you interview somebody, you wanna go with the flow of the conversation. And so if Dale brings up fishing, of course, I'm gonna talk to him about fishing and talk to him about the the great Idaho fishing spots and all that stuff. And we went on about talk about the tour, how I first heard Seether back in 02/2008 when, Fake It was part of the, Burnout Paradise soundtrack. So we had a little quick ten to fifteen minute long interview. It was great.
I had a fun time with him. He seemed to have a great time. The tour manager was like, hey. Thanks so much for keeping it on time and everything, as you should. When a tour manager gives you a rule, you follow it.
And so I post the official interview finally yesterday. Had it set to premiere at 6PM. It's on our YouTube channel, k Barret one zero one r m g. I it's on there. There was a few people from the subreddit that actually thought I would ask all of their questions.
And so all of them now are just full on trashing me in the comment section of my, my post on sub on the on the subreddit saying that, like, this guy just had a chat with Dale and this whole thing. I I I hate to say it, but the Seether fans are really proving to be the worst fan base in all of rock and metal. And what we're already in a weird time as it is with all these people just complaining nonstop online, especially on places like Facebook and Reddit. But usually, when you post an interview, people say, oh, thank you so much for sharing. I can't wait.
That's what happened with, Rory Rodriguez of Dayseeker. Tons of people were like, oh, we can't wait for Dayseeker's newest album. Thanks for the interview. That's what you're supposed to do, not complain. You know?
And so from now on, I'm not gonna ask any subreddit to provide me questions ever. I'm just gonna talk to the artist, put it in there. If they like it, cool. If they don't, well, so what? Move on.
You know? If you wanna get a hold of me, you can over at (208) 535-1015. I promise we'll be more we'll be more uplifting with the rest of this, afternoon show right here on Cabaret one zero one. Well, I did say I was going to try to be more uplifting, but, you know, the big news that popped up earlier today, I saw the Instagram post first thing. Nick Nocturnal, the, metal content creator, now officially stepping away from YouTube and also, I think, Twitch.
I think he's stepping away from content creation as a whole. He's just taking this indefinite break according to his, Instagram post. He's been creating content for over eleven years, and he talked about it. I watched the whole YouTube video of him explaining it. He's just fatigued from doing all that.
He needs to worry about his health. He's driven family and friends away because all he could talk about was just music, his content, and all that. And trust me, it does get overwhelming having to deal with, you know, podcasts and posting on social media every day, all that stuff. It's just super annoying. And he has the freedom to be like, you know what?
I can step away from this, be done with it for a while. I can come back eventually. He has, like, 1,300,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel. And, who knows what he'll do next, but, you know, we've had him on the, both of our shows before. And you can find, I believe, my episode with him as part of the Artist Interrogations podcast available on things like Spotify, Apple Podcasts.
I have been going through all of my old interviews from back in the day, and, I might, have to upload that one next. I might have to skip what was next and put that one next and be, like, as a tribute to Nick Nocturnal for retiring from, retiring for good from, content creation. I'll put it out there online. First, the Outdoor Boys YouTube channel. You know, that was the big thing earlier.
Was it last week or this week? It might have been this week. And now Nick Nocturnal stepping away. Which content creator is next? I guess we'll, we'll find out.
Peach's Pip Party on KBAR one zero one. So last night, I, got on finally started playing college football 2025 again. For some reason, during the week, I get so fatigued by work that I'll get home, and I'll either lay in bed after make dinner, lay in bed, talk to friends on Discord, and that's about it. Finally got online to play a game yesterday. I go to the dashboard.
First thing I see, brand new games to Xbox Game Pass. Police Simulator and Firefighting Simulator. I downloaded both of them right away, And I gotta tell you, a police simulator, so much fun. So much fun. You start off the game by giving out parking tickets.
So I, and for you don't get a police car. You're out there on foot. So I was running around, you know, pedestrians, the NPC pedestrians will say, like, oh, hi, officer, and you have to greet them back to earn points. But then there's people who park illegally. Like, they'll park with the, the meter expired, so you give them tickets.
And you can also, the game will give you alerts like, hey. This person just jaywalked, and you walk up to them. I was a nice cop. Okay? In that game, I was, giving people verbal warnings.
There was, like, one person who acted angry towards me. I'm like, you know what? That does it. I'm giving them the ticket. It's like, it was a ticket for littering, and I got I, made them, pay $25.
And, it's funny because, there's also I so, eventually, I got upgraded to start being able to do, accidents. Like, I would start, like, you know, evaluating car accidents and such. And one of the guys had more than one ounce in the game of marijuana, which is illegal in that game. It's like, hey. If you have more than an ounce, you're done.
And so I arrested the guy, but, apparently, that's not what I was supposed to do, so I lost points for doing that. It's a fun I actually ended up rage quitting just because I kept losing points for doing things that I guess I wasn't supposed to do. I don't know if I'm supposed to follow this whole formal thing. There was, things on people's driver's licenses that I would get because you would always ask for their driver's driver's license and insurance. And it said he had no gun permit.
But when I searched him, he had a gun on him. So I I arrested him for that. I lost points somehow. Trying to figure out if that's a bad thing to do or if I should just be like, hey. You know what?
You're fine with this gun. Just make sure to get a permit. That type of thing. Police simulator, I'll give it another try tonight. Maybe I should stream it.
Maybe I should take one of these webcams home. Do I still have my old webcam in here? Maybe I should just hop on Twitch and stream it for the Kay Bear listeners who follow me to see. Who knows? Kay Bear at +1 01.
We're getting closer to Memorial Day weekend. We're gonna have Monday, Memorial Day off. So just giving you the heads up right now. But that next Monday, the the week after, Monday, June 2 at 8AM, Victor and I will be, alongside Teton Auto Credit. We'll be doing a community cemetery cleanup.
Victor is going to be at Rose Hill. I'll be at Fielding Memorial in Idaho Falls. We'll both be, helping, you know, preserve what's there, take care of the tributes left behind. If you've got some time, you can come out and lend a hand with us. It's a simple way to show some respect and give back.
But if you wanna help out somewhere else, like, let's say, you're in Rexburg, Justin with one zero five, the Hawk, and Teton Volkswagen will be at the Rexburg Cemetery at 10AM, Monday, June second. Classy 97, Josh and Chantelle, they'll be at the Blackfoot Cemetery at 8AM with Teton Honda. And then Katie Lee and Teton Toyota, they're gonna be at the Shelley Cemetery bright and early at 7AM on Monday, June 2. You can find all the information on what I just talked about by clicking on honor and restore on the KBAR Alt or Cannonball one zero one apps. Do that and, join us.
Help us, take care of those who we've lost because they've they've served this great country. Let's come together to honor, remember, and restore Monday, June 2. Like I said, Victor will be at Rose Hill, albeit at Fielding Memorial in Idaho Falls at 8AM. The stardom of Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese has led to the has led the WNBA to some of its best TV ratings. The opening day game between Reese's Chicago Sky and Clark's Indiana Fever averaged 2,700,000 viewers on ABC, making it the most watched regular season WNBA game since February.
And the only WNBA telecast on ABC to have a bigger audience was last year's all star game, which brought in 3,400,000 viewers. Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams, he was fined $25,000 by the NBA for wearing a shirt with a curse word on it to a press conference. The find isn't that surprising, but who made the shirt was. The offensive shirt which said, bleep art, let's dance, is from the merch line by the British ska band Madness. You probably know them best for their only US top 10 hit, Our House.
It's not clear if the 24 year old is a big ska fan or if he just left the shirt and had a cool message. I'm guessing that that's the reason why. He was like, cool. I'll wear this. But, anyway, $25,000, nothing to him.
Ever since Tiger Woods was at the peak of his powers, the golf world has wondered who the next Tiger Woods might be. There always has been a lot of talk about players, but none of those players have stepped up and dominated, maybe, possibly until now. By winning the PGA championship over the weekend, Scottie Scheffler became just the third player since World War two to win 15 PGA Tour events in three major championships before the age of 29. The other two guys, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. That does it for your Shot Clock sports update right here on K Bear one zero one.
You know, there's things that you want to, live on forever. Right? Like, you want your pet to live alongside you. Unfortunately, dogs don't live all that long. You know, maybe, like, eight to eighteen, if you're lucky.
Eight to eighteen years. But tonight is the finale of season forty eight of Survivor, a show that's been on the air for twenty five years, and I don't think it's going to stop. I'm sure they'll do some huge thing for season fifty. On Friday, Mission Impossible, the final reckoning will be in theaters. That's the eighth Mission Impossible movie with the first one being released nearly thirty years ago, and that's all after the original TV show was on the air for seven years.
I mean, could you imagine the Simpsons also? Isn't that still, like, the longest running cartoon? Do people still watch the Simpsons? You know you know it's been on for too long when people say that question or ask that question? Do people still watch it?
Like, Grey's Anatomy, I think, was on for the longest time. The Simpsons has gone through a lot. Didn't, like, Homer and Marge get divorced at one point? They got rid of Apu completely, and they've changed it so much over the years that I feel like now it's not the same. SpongeBob, by the way, I think that's, like, the longest running Nickelodeon cartoon.
It started back in 1999, and everybody my age is wondering what on earth happened to the TV show. Because back in the day, it was funny. It was good. Everyone seemed to like it. But now you watch, like, a five seconds of SpongeBob that's posted online.
You're like, what happened? Why does it look so weird? Why is it so gross at some points? There are some times where you're like, okay. That all good things must come to an end, and maybe it's her favorite TV show.
But, I mean, eight Mission Impossible movies. How can this is this movie still believable? Like, do we believe Tom Cruise at, like, what, 60 years old is still able to go? It's like watching The Expendables movies. I I think they're making another one.
Sylvester Stallone, I believe, is almost 80, if not 80, and all the rest are incredibly old too. At that point, you're like, okay. Now I'm just watching old men hobble around, pretend to beat other people up, and you want it to be believable. But you know for a fact, if a giant buff guy was supposed to get in in into a fight with old Sylvester Stallone, you know he's gonna get his butt kicked. Peach's pit party on KhabAir one zero one.
The delay of Grand Theft Auto six until next May, a year from now, has cost in the gaming industry big bucks. Some industry number crunchers concluded that there will be a staggering almost $3,000,000,000 decline in revenue in 2025 because of the delay. It's a huge amount, but the gaming market will survive and thrive as it's expected to hit to cross the $200,000,000,000 mark this year, thanks in part to the Nintendo Switch two. I wonder if all other gaming companies are avoiding trying to release a game in May of next year now because of GTA six. You know, everyone's going to be playing it.
It's like when a giant band is expected to release an album, and you know for a fact they're gonna dominate the charts. So you wait a little while longer till, you know, they get off the charts and it's done its thing, and then you release your music. Grand Theft Auto six, I have a bad feeling there's gonna be tons of negative Nancies online just talking about like, I'm already seeing the people talk about how they're not fans of the, main characters of the game. GTA five. I feel like there's a sleep token effect type of thing where, like, you know, sleep tokens take me back to Eden caught everybody by surprise.
It got it was huge, and it was a a massive, massive album. And even in Arcadia, the new album still is massive, huge, but many fans are like, you know what? It's not necessarily up to the same level as Take Me Back to Eden. A lot of people saying that, and I have a bad feeling we're gonna we're gonna get the same thing with Grand Theft Auto six. GTA five, one of the best selling video games of all time.
Maybe GTA six breaks that record, and maybe people like it more. Who knows? It seems like it's going to be a great game. I think I might join Victor and do the whole, like, take the day of release off, play that game. Oh, I actually we need to talk about so that this just reminded me of something else.
We'll talk about in maybe the next break. Yeah. We'll talk about in the next break here. This is this was pretty funny to see online yesterday. Hang on.
Funny that that song played ain't no rest for the for the wicked from Cage the Elephant only because that was the opening song for the first Borderlands game. This is what I wanted to talk about, after the previous break about how Borderlands four is coming out soon, and somebody tweeted out to the Borderlands creator. I believe it's the he's the head of Gearbox Studio. What's his name again? Randy Pitchford.
He's a unique looking guy. Looks like he's a a fun dude. But, someone tweeted out to him saying, Randy, this game better not be $80 for Borderlands four. Don't take that risk. A lot of gamers aren't gonna pay $80 and feed this notion of constant increase of the price tag.
You are the CEO. You have some say with the price when it comes to your publisher, and he actually responded. A, not my call, and then this is where he made a lot of people very upset. B, if you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen. And then he goes on to provide an example.
My local game store had Starflight for Sega Genesis for $80 in 1991 when I was just out of high school working minimum wage in an ice cream parlor in parlor in Pismo Beach, and I found a way to make it happen. Well, just because you found a way doesn't mean I wanna find a way. You know, I'm not gonna pay $80 for a video game that should be around 50. I mean, I remember back in the day when video games were $50, and my dad was freaking out at GameStop. Fifty bucks.
What on earth? And then they started to slowly increase, or they would be like, oh, now now the whole thing is to have the game for free. But if you actually wanna do anything, you just have to put out money for these microtransactions, which is something EA is known for doing. But, you know, after he said that, I was kinda like, you know what? My tactic wasn't gonna change.
I wasn't gonna buy Borderlands four the day it was released. I personally don't have 50 or $80 to, to spend on a video game. I I like to wait. I like to wait till it's, like, a year or two later. Black Friday comes around.
That game is, like, 75% off. That's when I decide to buy it, just like what I talked about at the beginning part of the show. I've known about police simulator, firefighting simulator for quite a long time. And, I just saw it get out of the Game Pass, which I pay, like, $10 a month for. I know it's not technically free, but it's better than just paying $80 for one game.
College football 2025, when that came out, all my friends were playing it. And then I got it a couple years later because I just waited and got it for much cheaper. I got it for, like, 15. So it's best to wait. Good things come to those who wait.
Alright. So here's maybe a helpful little, ask Reddit question that I just, just saw here was something people thinks, saves them money but actually loses them money. Driving across town to save 3¢ a gallon, you're just driving the gas out anyways. If you're an arts crafts person seeing something you want and thinking I can just make it myself and it'll cost me a lot less, That's the devil whispering sweet lies directly into your ear. If you don't already have nearly all of the necessary supplies on hand, it will cost you more to make it yourself.
I've I've experienced that with cooking. I'm like, you know what? I'll just make this at home, and then I end up having to buy, like, the heavy whipping cream, the cheese, the garlic, all that stuff to make a nice homemade Alfredo sauce. And I end up spending a ton more, way more than I actually should. What else is there for things that cost people a lot of money even though they think they're saving money?
Avoiding doing maintenance on things. Sure. It's cheaper today, and it'll probably be fine tomorrow. But sooner or later, it's gonna bite you. You gotta take care of your car.
Number one, get it get the oil changed. Alright? Keep the maintenance going on that because you never know. You decline that, decline that, decline that. Next thing you know, your car fails, you gotta pay, like, what, a few a few g's to get it replaced.
Buying really cheap stuff. I'm not saying you have to buy top of the line, but at least get something semi quality so you don't have to constantly replace it. Yeah. I've dealt with that with, toilet paper and paper towels. It's one of the worst things when you have one ply toilet paper.
I'm not gonna go into detail about that, but you get what I mean. So I came across r slash millennials, the big question that this person was posting on Reddit. Did we get ripped off with homework? Says, my wife is a middle school and high school teacher and has worked for just about every type of school you can think of. Private, public, title one, extremely privileged, and schools in between.
One thing that always surprised me is that homework in large part is now a thing of the past. Some schools actively discourage it. I remember doing two to four hours of homework per night, especially throughout middle school and high school until I graduated in 2010. I usually did homework Sunday through Thursday. I remember even the parents started complaining about excessive homework because they felt like they never got to spend time as a family.
Was this anyone else's experience? Did we just get the raw end of the deal for no reason? As an adult in my thirties, it's wild to think that we're taking on eight classes a day and then continued that, that work at home. It made life after high school feel like a breeze, in my opinion, is what he wrote. Now I didn't have all that much homework.
I would kinda do some here and there, but that's about it. College, especially, it was nonexistent because I took film classes because I graduated with that cinema and television arts degree. So I was, like, I was told to watch these classic movies, and I would still not necessarily do it because I'm like, you know what? This classic movie doesn't interest me. I can just get the notes from somebody else.
Sure enough, I graduated, have my degree, but my poor sister, one of the smartest, smartest people you will ever meet, had, like, nearly a five point o GPA in high school, took all AP classes. I specifically remember seeing her, like, cry because not only did she have school, she had volleyball, and then she would come home to hours upon hours of homework. And at that point, it is way too excessive. I think even just giving somebody a sheet is is too excessive. Like, the only homework some students should be doing is studying for the test for the next day, and they should do that in doses.
Other than that, nothing. Nothing at all. That's just my opinion. Just because I I've seen what it happens to people. I'm she was crying, and she had to quit volleyball, not only because of that, but because of, like, you know, high school sports politics.
I could go on and on about that. But, you know, she had to deal upon hours upon hours of just at home doing things for different classes, and she somehow got away with all a's. And I'm so proud of what she was like, what she accomplished in her academic career, but I can't imagine most kids going through that stuff. It's just awful. It's terrible.
You want you want to grow up remembering high school as being a fun part. At least, that's what I think. It'd be a fun part of, like, oh, I grew up, get to hang out with people after high school, go to parties, go to prom, that type of thing. A lot of people resent high school most likely because, a, they didn't have any friends or, b, they just you know, they'd wake up early. School's a weird thing.
Right? I I love seeing those memes where it's like, oh, I woke up at 10:30. No. I woke up at 7AM, and then we'd have lunch at 10:30 or eleven and eat a hamburger with milk like it was normal. But, yeah, if you ask me, and he put me in charge of all the schools, no more homework for the kids.
Now today is what the headline comes from Florida because, of course, it does. A man who's proudly known as the most annoying neighbor ever just hit a personal milestone, twenty five years of just making his entire town angry as can be. His name's Alan Davis, known as the junk man, has turned his front lawn into what only can be described as a scrapyard themed amusement park. We're talking mountains of rusted appliances, broken down cars, scrap metal, and the fuselage of airplanes. Why?
Because well, why not? The city has hit him with more than $5,400,000 in fines, which he's refused to pay because nothing says, you know, American patriot like thumbing your nose at zoning laws. To celebrate twenty five glorious years of annoying the living heck out of everyone, he installed a six foot fiberglass sculpture of a human butt on his lawn. Yeah. He says it's a message to his neighbors in the county.
You can all kiss my booty. Fantastic. So the next time your neighbor, you know, lets their dog poop in your yard, doesn't pick it up, just remember, could be worse. You could live you could live next to the guy who thinks a giant butt statue is the Statue Of Liberty. I'm hoping they add this dude.
I'm hoping they add him to GTA six. Make this an Easter egg. If anybody knows someone from Rockstar or if someone from Rockstar is somehow listening, make this dude an Easter egg in the game because GTA six will be taking place in Florida, Vice City. Might as well add this character. Now I think this guy is trying to make a quick buck.
A Texas man named Demery Ardell Wilson. That's a name right there. Suing Whataburger for nearly $1,000,000 after allegedly finding onions in his meal despite requesting none. Wilson claims he suffered an allergic reaction required medical attention. This isn't Wilson's first rodeo with onions either.
He previously filed a similar lawsuit against Sonic Drive In in 2023, which was dismissed due to insufficient proof. Whataburger denies the allegations, I mean, obviously, stating they had no knowledge of any defects in the meal and that onions are not listed among their potential allergens. Just know that if you order a burger, you're more than likely gonna have onions on it. I mean, that's like saying you're gonna be allergic to bread or tomato or lettuce. You know it's gonna be on the burger unless you specifically ask for it.
I I'm calling Cap. You know, there's that whole subreddit I've mentioned on the show a couple of times now, r slash untrustworthy pop tart, where people say like, hey. I got seven cookies in my bag of five, and it looks like someone obviously just planted two more cookies in there. This guy's story belongs in there. If it hasn't been posted already, maybe I'll post it.
It. R slash untrustworthy pop tart. You remember that Pirates fan who took an unexpected dive from the stands at PNC Park? Well, the plot thickens. On April 30, the 20 year old Kevin Markwood fell 21 feet from the right field bleachers during a Pirates Cubs game sustaining severe injuries, including a broken neck, back, collarbone, also a brain injury on top of that.
He was hospitalized in critical condition but has since shown signs of recovery recovery, luckily, moving out of the ICU, beginning physical therapy. Now authorities have charged 21 year old Ethan Kirkwood with two misdemeanor counts of furnishing alcohol to a minor. Yes. Surveillance footage reportedly show Kirkwood purchasing two twenty four ounce beers at PNC Park and handing one to to Markwood. Later footage captures both men holding beers.
Kirkwood I like how these guys have similar last names. Kirkwood, Markwood. Sounds like a funny law firm. Kirkwood, Markwood. Kirkwood admitted to buying the alcohol for Mark Wood, who was underage at the time, a preliminary hearing is scheduled for June.
So don't don't give alcohol to minors. You know, you could be like this guy. One wrong move. Imagine the guilt this guy must have felt. Like, he was the reason, mostly the reason, why this dude was probably, you know, a little bit tipsy, a little bit buzzed, falls, almost dies.
Luckily, he's doing okay, though. Thanks for listening to Peach's Pit Party, the podcast. If you enjoyed the show, please share, subscribe, and rate the podcast.
