A little bit of turnstile right here on Peach's Pit Party kicking off this Monday afternoon together Monday, 06/09/2025. I sincerely hope all is well with you. I hope you had a fantastic weekend. It went by extremely fast as I talked about on the noon hour of madness and mayhem that all of a sudden, it was just Sunday 5PM, and I had to mentally prepare for the full week in about two weeks. full work week, Monday through Friday.
I had the promo meeting this morning and all of that, but this day has been made because the Russell Storms, who, used to be Jade's assistant here in the building, we had him on the air quite a few times, quite a lot of times, I should say. And, he stopped by and brought us some, Japanese candies, some Japanese snacks overall for us to try. Victor is not here today, so I guess tomorrow we'll have to dig into these. He was explaining them to me, and they're all, of course, in Japanese writing, so we'll have to figure out exactly what these are with Google Translate. Russell speaks fluent Japanese, so he was kind of telling me what exactly some of them were.
But, again, I one ear out the other. So we'll try those tomorrow with Victor and, shout out to the redneck for stopping by earlier this morning bringing donuts to us for Victor's birthday even though he's not here. I I dig I did eat a maple donut in Victor's, honor. We had a little, birthday party get together at Victor's Place Saturday night. That was the highlight of my weekend.
If you wanna get a hold of me, you can over at (208) 535-1015. Peach's Pit Party will continue here in just a few on Kay Bear 101. I was reading about this this morning. This neighborhood in Minneapolis, more than a thousand people gathered on Saturday for this annual ritual where there's this sharpening of a gigantic number two pencil. It's a 20 foot tall pencil sculpted out of a mammoth oak tree at the home of this couple, John and Amy Higgins.
The beloved tree was damaged in the storm a few years ago when the fierce winds twisted the crown off, so neighbors mourned. A couple even wept. But the, Higginsness Higgins saw it not so much as a loss, but as a chance to give the tree new life. So they do this, they do this every year where they just have this sharpening ceremony on the front lawn. It has it has evolved into a community spectacle that draws hundreds of people to the, leafy neighborhood on the Lake Of The Isles complete with music, pageantry.
Some people even dress as pencils or erasers. Sometimes I think life is boring here in East Idaho. And then I see stuff like this, and I go, okay. So it's not just us. Okay.
Two Swiss, Alform players provided part of the, year's entertainment. You can read more about this if you really wanted to Google search it. The gathering of the gigantic pencil. Watch it get sharpened. I mean, I would rather go to something like this than go to New York and watch the ball drop.
You've see you've seen stories about that every year where people, like, you know, wear diapers so they don't leave and, you know, get their spot taken away watching the ball drop in New York. I'd much rather watch, like, a giant 20 foot pencil just get sharpened. Dress up as my, dress up as a giant eraser. Show up and cheer it on. Sure.
Peach's pit party on Cabir one zero one. I talked about this on the show, last week, talking about how expensive it is going to be to stream Ozzy's last performance, the Back to the Beginning farewell concert. It's gonna be about $30 just to stream it. Now if you wanna get a nice t shirt with it, it's about $65 for that package. When the show was announced back in February, Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Hailstorm, bunch of other bands were on the lineup in addition to Sabbath and, of course, Ozzy as a solo artist, as well as many other individual musicians from huge rock and metal bands.
Well, over time, more groups were added to the bill, including Guns N' Roses, Tool, Rival Sons, the surviving members of Soundgarden. But it seems that one of the bands that was scheduled to play the event has since been booted from the bill after Sharon Osbourne had a falling out with their manager. This is what she said. I had a huge, huge to do with the manager over this celebration for Ozzy and Sabbath, and it was probably the worst way I felt in years. And I don't care what this person says about me, thinks about it because he doesn't know me, and he's now going around making up a complete and utter, garbage.
I'll I'll clean that up there for you because I threw this band off of the bill. Alright. Well, I wonder which band that was. I wonder which one is gonna miraculously just be off the lineup. It doesn't say anywhere who exactly it is, but I'm sure people will figure it out once they, you know, compare the old bill to the new one and go, oh, yeah.
There's so and so missing from this. But will I stream it? I don't know. My friend, Matt, like I said, like, my friends are gonna be out here during that time, that day, July 5, when they're gonna be doing this big concert. And my friend, Matt, adamant about watching this livestream even though we'll be in Twin Falls kind of, adventuring.
So I don't know if he's gonna play it on his phone or what, but, I'll try my best to watch this, Back to the Beginning farewell concert. Hopefully, not see Ozzy die on stage. Thank you. I wish I saw this. That would have been cool to watch.
This epic robot battle was held recently in China featuring humanoids squaring off against each other. The robots controlled by humans with remote controlled units punched, kicked, and knead their way through a, six robot tournament in the final showdown. A sleek black bot named AI strategist or strategist faced a green rival called Power Core Guardian. In the end, the AI strategist took the crown, becoming the world's humanoid robot kicking kickboxing tournament champion, next level rock them sock them robots. I wish I still had that toy.
That was a fun little toy that I had when I was a kid. My parents got it for me, and it was a unique little thing. I remember those soccer boppers too, those blow up pillow boxing things. Like, you put them on your hand and you're supposed to have fun just kind of, like, battling your friends. But I took it a little too far, unfortunately, when I was a kid, punched my friend, a different friend named Matt at the time, and he cried and told me told on me and stuff.
And sure enough, I I said goodbye to soccer boppers and, rock them, soccer robots. I mean, that could get violent, you know, yelling at the other person for cheating. I don't know. But this, if they ever do this again, I'll be sure to watch it on TV, this, humanoid tournament type thing. Who knows?
Maybe we'll have this, become a worldwide sport where we have nerds building these robots, making them face off against one another. I mean, there's already robot battles, but having humanoids going off against each other or battling each other would be pretty cool. It seems if you can't make the finals in the NBA or the NHL, your job as head coach is toast. Just a few days after the New York Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau because the team couldn't make it out of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Dallas Stars have done the same to their head coach, Pete DeBoer. DeBoer had led the Stars to three straight Western Conference finals, but couldn't get the team over the hump to play for the Stanley Cup.
And so in the unforgiving world of pro sports, he was shown the door. A couple weeks ago, the enhanced games, which will feature athletes who will not be drug tested, were announced. It didn't take long for World Aquatics, the global governing body for swimming and other water sports, to chime in and ban any athletes who take part in the enhanced games. To juice or not to juice, that is now the question. It looks like 2025 is setting up to be the summer of the Savannah Bananas.
The Savannah Banana Experience featuring dancing umpires, back flipping outfielders, and lip sync battles, scored a national TV deal and will be shown on live TV on the CW network on July 27 when the team plays, at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. My parents, like I mentioned last week, got to go to that, one of those actually, two of those games at Angel Stadium, and it looked like such a fun time. They brought out the great Hambino, p Patrick Rena from the sandlot to to go at bat. And sure enough, he did okay. But, I mean, it would be such a fun time to go see the Savannah Bananas play.
Anyway, that does it for your Shot Clock sports update right here on KBAR one zero one. So Victor is going to be out and about twice this, this week. Wednesday, he'll be at Tag and Go Car Wash at 725 West Broadway in Idaho Falls to be there with Alon alongside, Jazz Bear, the mascot for the Utah Jazz. I believe the Jazz Bear is doing some type of, like, show as you're getting your car washed. You can spin the wheel for prizes.
You can also take your kid and have them enter the, the chalk art contest. And if you if your kid wins, like, the best chalk art, you can win a month's worth of, washes, which is quite convenient. You know, car washes are quite expensive if you have the, you know, monthly membership and all of that. So you might as well, get a month's free while you're there. See if you can see if your kid is very artistic.
But, also, Victor is going to be at the Idaho Falls Farmers Market this Saturday from nine to two on Memorial Drive in Idaho Falls. He'll be there from around nine to noon. Katie from z one zero three will be there from eleven to two, but we'll have the Riverbend Media Group booth set up there for, pet food donations, which, if you wanna learn more about all about what the Snake River Animal Shelter needs, you can click on farmer's market right now on the, K Bear Alt or Cannonball one zero one apps. It'll show you all the information on what exactly is a high priority for the Snake River Animal Shelter, what exactly they don't need, all that good stuff there. Gonna be a busy week.
You know, the weather's warming up. We're now going out and about even more. And, Victor's the one who's gonna be out and about this week, and then I'll be somewhere later this month like I talked about on the new now of to mayhem, but more information will be on that here, soon enough. But just, you know, this Wednesday, ten to noon, Victor is gonna be at Tag and Go Car Wash and then the Idaho Falls Farmers Market this Saturday. Architects right here on KBAR one zero one.
I just talked about where Victor is going to be this week. Now there's also another very special event coming up, Saturday, June 21 from 10AM to 3PM at the waterfront at Snake River Landing. Join us at the family fun run-in carnival supporting families with hospitalized children. It's gonna be supporting specifically the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho Family Room at EIRMC. Now this family fun run, perfect for children of all ages and fitness levels, whether they're running their race or just having fun with friends.
The event is all about participation, joy, and community. All all all after the run is over, the fun does not stop. There's carnival games, food, face painting, music. There's even a cash machine there, ponies, and more to keep the entire family entertained. Tickets for the games will be sold at the event.
You can find all the information just by clicking on RMHC Family Fun Run right now on the Cabare Alt and Cannonball one zero one apps. There's all the information you'll need for the times. There's even, like, a a firefighter race between the Idaho Falls fire departments and the INL fire department. Should be a fun time again, all for a great cause, the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho Family Room. So I think even I fell for this picture because, well, I saw it when yeah.
That looks realistic. It doesn't look AI generated whatsoever. And then I took a closer look and went, you know what? Maybe maybe. Now I'm on Instagram reels, and I'm wondering which videos are real, which videos are fake.
I mean, some of them are obvious, but then there's, like, this whole new AI, program called Google v o three or something like that where people can generate completely fake, like, news reports and things like that. It's wild. But there's this picture making the rounds of this one lady arguing with a flight attendant because she has her emotional support kangaroo. Now I know that seems silly, but this picture looks awfully realistic. Like, the the hands have the normal amount of fingers.
It looks like a real photograph. The kangaroo is just standing there with a dumb little vest on, and it's also holding the boarding pass. Tons of people online fell for it as well. And now everyone's saying, yep. I was a victim.
Uh-huh. And I guess there are other photos like that one. Like, it shows a there's another picture I'm looking at here of a capybara in the middle of a kindergarten class just chilling with the students. There's also, oh, there's also a kangaroo, holding a baby, which that one looks definitely fake. But, I mean, AI is looking to be real scary.
I know there's tons of talk about it. There's tons of people, you know, generating just complete and utter garbage with it. But at the same time, like, how realistic is it going to look to the point where we don't even know what's real anymore? You know, the future, looking looking pretty scary. Peach's pit party on Kay Barrett one zero one.
You know, self checkout could be confusing to a lot of people. Every single time I go to a place like Winco, Walmart, etcetera, I see, tons of people in front of me not knowing how to work self checkout. And then what they do instead of, like, actually flagging down the person working the self checkout to help customers, they just stare at the worker, especially the older people. But this Walmart employee, I was reading the story about this, claimed a customer called the police after he, the customer, accidentally overcharged himself for avocados at the self checkout kiosk, then accused the store of robbing him. It was all documented on a Reddit page dedicated to all things Walmart.
What's this what's this Walmart subreddit? I need to join this. User lore archivist wrote about the confrontation prompting others to share their own odd self checkout interactions. As lore archivist told the story, a man came up with a bunch of stuff, claimed an item on the shelf that was priced at $9.99 was showing up on the register at $19.99. The Reddit writer said a Walmart team leader was able to get it fixed for the man.
However, it happened with item again, with item after item after item that couldn't be changed. Lore Archive has said, then he had avocados. I guess he accidentally hit 999 avocados instead of the nine he intended. His total jumped up to over $1,300. That's when the customer freaked out, started yelling before, stating that he was calling the cops because Walmart was robbing him.
It's funny reading the story. You can tell that's just an old boomer that has no idea what he's doing and just didn't know how to work it. And then, you know, he's throwing a big fit, making it horrible for himself. Is there a video of this whole thing? I'm trying to scroll down here.
There's no video of this. But, I I could I guess you could say this guy qualifies for the genius of the day, which you can sometimes hear on the Victor Welt Show, weekday morning, 06:45. Again, it's always those types of people that end up going in front of me while I'm trying just to check out at the store. They have no idea what to do. They stare at the machine.
They they it's like, come on. We've been using self checkout for quite some time now. Everyone should be used to it. Falling in Reverse on K Barrett 1 zero one, Idaho's only rock station. Bad wolves fans are speculating what's happening with the band after their singer DL, unveiled his new gig playing bass for Falling in Reverse.
DL posted on Instagram about his two shows with Falling in Reverse this weekend, calling their set at Rock Am Marine in Germany the most intense show he's ever played. He replaced Tyler Burgess, who apparently was fired from the group earlier this year. I didn't even know about this, to be quite honest with you. This new gig has led Bad Wolves fans to speculate that perhaps ex singer Tommy Vexed is returning to the band, Vexed who left in 2021 and filed various suits against the band and their management afterwards posted in March that he was about to be a part of the, craziest comeback story in the industry's history. After that cryptic post, the guitarist Doc Coyle and bassist Kyle Conkeil, I believe that's how you say it, they both left Bad Wolves in April with guitarist Chris Kane returning in a new bassist, Kevin Creekman joining.
I'm hoping you're following the flowchart here. Creekman had also served as the bassist for Vex's, Vex solo venture. So I don't know. Wasn't their bass player, the previous bass player, fallen reverse, like, quite talented? Like, everyone was talking about to how great he was?
Tyler Burgess. Now who is the other guy in Fall in Reverse that was doing, like, the backup rap for Watch the World Burn? I don't know. But, I mean, DL to be the basis for Fall in Reverse, that's pretty wild. Just to have the former lead singer of Bad Wolves now the basis in the band, it seems like a I I don't wanna be mean to bass players here, but that seems like a downgrade.
You know? Like, you are fronting the band. You're having a good time, and next thing you know, you're now the basis. I mean, who knows? Maybe, Ronnie will incorporate his singing ability in future songs.
Well, I'll I'll have to keep you updated on the situation, as soon as I receive word from anything happening with this whole thing. Alright. Here's what's coming next at the, the airport. TSA is apparently working on these wild touchless pat downs. Yeah.
Forget the whole awkward feeling of having some, you know, stranger's hand poking around, certain areas of you. Now they wanna slap on VR goggles and, special gloves to feel you without actually touching you because nothing says private and safe like a TSA agent seeing your body through a headset while pretending you know? Oh, forget it. Never mind. Honestly, I'm just waiting for the part where they add a little, haptic feedback that makes you feel like you're getting, like, tickled by a ghost.
I mean, it's it's the future. I mean, I don't mind it. Touchless pat downs from TSA. I don't think I've ever had to have one of those. They just you know, I go in the machine.
I put my hands up. I'm too tall for the machine, so I have to, like, sort of crouch down and then put my hands up. And then they go, oh, hey. Okay. You're good.
And I walk out. They do a little one wave or something like that, and that's it. Nothing really else. Knocking on wood. I don't wanna be frisked at the airport next time.
Watch some TSA agent hear me do this break and go, okay. You know, next time, let's give Peaches the true pat down. A runaway pet zebra named Ed has finally been captured after spending a week on the lamb in Tennessee. Ed had escaped from his owner's property near Murfreesboro and made a run for it. He had been spotted multiple times during the week, even spent some time running along the highway, but animal officials hadn't been able to corral him.
Ed quickly became an inner Internet sensation as videos of him spotted trotting through neighborhoods was shared on social media. The Rutherford County Sheriff's Office finally finally wrangled Ed on Sunday after he was spotted in a pasture. A helicopter was called in to airlift him to a a wanting, awaiting animal trailer. Ed's owner, Laura Ford, said the, equine is safe and 100% healthy. Welcome home, Ed.
I did post the, picture of Ed being airlifted. It's pretty funny on our Facebook page at k bear one zero one f m. K bear one zero one, Idaho's only rock station. For some reason, these, this trend's been popping up as of late grandma showers. Is it okay to have grandmas, four grandmas to have their own baby showers to celebrate the arrival of future grandchildren.
Now I think this is just like some call for attention. Like, hey. I'm the grandma in this situation. I'm welcoming the grandchild. Why don't we just celebrate me?
That type of thing. But, I mean, still, without the grandma, the daughter wouldn't have been born, and then the granddaughter would definitely not have been born. But at the same time, like, where's the grandpa shower? Where's the, you know, the guy in the situation that, you know, sort of half helped with the with the kid? You know?
Where where's his little get together party type thing? I love how, like, this is a ongoing dilemma. Like, should there be grandma showers? I think this is just another one of those, like, lame excuses to kind of, like, be like, hey. I provided somewhat of a role.
Why not celebrate me? Bring me presents. Yeah. I do see the, responses here on TikTok. It's peak narcissism.
I don't understand the new role comment. There is no role. We're the parents. They get to observe and show love. No grandmother shower.
No circumstances support this. A cute lunch with some goodies will be great, but wanting gifts like cribs and baby clothes is too much and puts an expectation that the baby baby will be sleeping over at grandma's house a bunch. Yeah. See? It's just yeah.
I don't know. It's just another thing for attention. That's basically it. K Bear one zero one. You know, I was born in 1996.
I can't tell if I'm a millennial. I don't think I'm a part of the Gen z crowd. I think I'm in this weird, like, in between window where I don't belong to either. But, Gen x, those born between 1965 to 1980 is often called the forgotten generation because it is sandwiched between the much larger baby boomer and millennial generations. However, the forgotten label carries a special meaning for the younger Gen Xers because they were probably the least parented group of of kids in American history.
Those born in the seventies were raised when there was more dual income households and divorced parents, so many wore keys around their necks and cared for themselves after school. What they're trying to do overall, young Gen Xers also grew up when when parents were more permissive allowing them to stay out all day on their bikes. They only knew it was time to come home when the, street lights came on. They also grew up in the last analog era without cell phones. Parents had to call around various houses to find out exactly where their kids were.
Like, sure, being a kid in those days was a little risky, but it also fostered a fantastic sense of independence. I'm just looking at this article here. They're trying to say, like, hey. Let's just call ourselves The Goonies Generation. Generation Goony.
And that movie is fantastic. I was watching it just recently, and you can tell the audio for it. It's not really mixed down. I wish they would remaster the audio a little bit better because I was trying to add I think it was a quote from that movie to Cannonball one zero one Imaging, and you can barely understand a word that Chunk was saying just because the audio is just so poorly. I mean, it's, you know, an old movie now.
Why not remaster it? Why not remaster all the old movies, make the audio better, make the picture a little bit better, make sure to keep these timeless classics, you know, up to date? I might need to watch it again. I I wish I was a part of this, like, cool generation, but, no, I'm in that weird, like, zillenial type type thing. I don't know.
There's a there's a few there's a select few of us because I think millennial ends at nineteen ninety six, then Gen z starts at 97. So, again, I'm stuck in between. So last week, there was tons of stuff happening to the point where there was no To Peach Their Own, I think, for almost all of last week. So this is the time that it's back. And I just thought of this question on my own.
There was no AskReddit help, no chat GPT help. It was just like, hey. If everyone on earth had to listen to one band by your command, who are you picking? Who do you want to just expose to everyone on earth to the spotlight that's honestly your favorite? Let me know.
(208) 535-1015 for To Peach Their Own. There we go. How's it going? Good. If I could make everybody listen to one band Yeah.
Black Label Society. Alright. Well, what particular song would you start off with? Stillborn. The classic right there.
I'm about to throw that on here for you. Thank you much, sir. Hey. Thank you. Appreciate it.
Yep. No problem. You have a good one. You too. (208) 535-1015.
If you could force everybody in the world to listen to one band, who would you choose? Let me know for to peach their own. Hey, K Bear. What's happening? Peaches.
What's that? Hold on. One sec. Oh, there we go. Sorry Sorry about that.
For some reason, my board was acting weird. Okay. My bad. Let's restart this. K.
What's happening? You got you got it started? Yes. Right on. It would have to be 7dust black and then start with black and change the whole world.
They were awesome live. I was glad to see because everyone was talking praise about the they're like peaches. You're when you see them live, you're gonna have a great time. And sure enough, they they know how to rock a crowd. Oh, yeah.
No. Tomorrow morning when you wander into the studio at eight, ask Victor about seeing him in the motels in Pocatello. Alright. Will do. Just a little bus.
I mean, they had this they they were actually they actually had a bus. They weren't in a van with a trailer, and they were just really nice guys that just wanted to play music. I do like, is it La John? Is that how you say it? I like his, Uh-huh.
His video of him going, look, look at the rainbow. He's, like, telling everyone in the crowd to yeah. Of course. Look at the rainbow. Exactly.
Yeah. No. It was just it was crazy in the late nineties, early two thousands when they came through Bocatello. No one knew about it. Thanks for listening to Peach's Pit Party, the podcast.
