As if the week already didn't suck enough with the passing of Aussie, we now have lost the wrestler that I believe started it all. You know, the first big superstar to come out of WWE that everyone loved back in the eighties. Hulk Hogan passed away this morning at 71 years old. I received a Snapchat from my homie, Bryson. He was recording his TV for some reason, and then he zoomed in.
And it was some news source that was playing the clip of Hogan at the Trump rally ripping his shirt off to reveal just a Trump shirt beneath it. And the bottom of the screen said, Hulk Hogan dead at 71. And, again, it was one of those moments where I gasped. I didn't want to believe it. Immediately, that dreadful article pops up when I googled Hulk Hogan.
That dreadful TMZ headline that nobody wants to read about their favorite celebrity. Hulk Hogan dead at 71. He was taken from his Clearwater, Florida home in a stretcher. From the details, it seems to be cardiac arrest. So, yeah, you can find that article on the Ka Bear page.
I also posted it in the Ka Bear group on Facebook, Ka Bear one zero one Idaho Rock and Metal. It it really does suck because all this time, I thought I thought for some reason I would be able to get this tiny Hulk Hogan statue that I've had for, I mean, twenty years now. I think I've had it since I was eight years old. I received it as a Christmas gift from my parents. I talked about it when I, broke the news earlier this morning on the air at around 10AM that my parents, back when I was eight, saw that I had a Hulk Hogan action figure.
Back then, I I collected WWE action figures. And so they saw that. They somehow went into a store. I don't exactly know the store's name, but they had they found this place that had statues of various athletes. Not like big statues.
They're two and a half, three feet tall. They're quite cool. They had different ones, and they saw the Hulk Hogan one, and they bought it for me. And all this time, I was hoping that maybe one day I could meet the legend himself and have him sign it sign it and, well, that unfortunately can no longer happen. I was, wanting to honestly fly out to his, Hogan's Beach shop in in Florida and meet him there and be like, yo, Hulk and, you know, just to tandem the statue.
Could you please please sign this? I saw him in 2005 at WrestleMania twenty one when they went Hollywood, when they were at the Staples Center at the time. Now it's the crypto.com arena. It was one of those weird storylines where Mohammed Hassan, the wrestler, attacked Eugene. Eugene, out of all wrestlers, if you know about Eugene, he's he's like this dumb, funny, childlike character.
You you couldn't really have a character like him or Mohammed Hassan now, but Mohammed Hassan had him in the, the camel clutch as they call it. And Hulk Hogan came out as the patriot, you know, as the giant Hulkster that he is and, you know, took care of him, beat up Mohammed Hassan, rescued Eugene. It was a crazy moment that I was in the same building as Hulk Hogan. May he rest in peace. You know, 71 years old, still feels incredibly young.
You know? I was, thinking about it last night with my, parents, my mom and my dad. Oh, my dad's about to turn 60 on September 2. And to think 71 is only 11 away for him makes me wanna call him every single day, even more so. Call him, like, all the times that I can just to be like, hey.
You know, you're you're great and all that. But, yeah, rest in peace to Hulk Hogan. We'll continue on with the show just like usual. I just wanted to kick it off with, Hulk Hogan's old theme song, one of my favorite theme songs of all time. I don't care if it wasn't heavy enough for Khabar.
I just wanted to do some sort of tribute for one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. If you wanna get a hold of me, you can over at (208) 535-1015. I believe I might do more giveaways for dropkick Murphy's Bad Religion of Mainliners. I might even do a Weird Al Yankovic ticket giveaway this afternoon. Be on the lookout.
Listen out for that cue to call and be caller 20 for either one at (208) 535-1015. Not right now. I'm just letting you know. It might happen. I figured most people's, moods are down because of all the, celebrity deaths that have been happening recently.
I mean, there's not only Ozzy Osbourne and Hulk Hogan. There's also Huxtable from The Cosby Show. I forgot his actual name. Pardon me. I didn't really watch The Cosby Show growing up, but it's still extremely sad, especially when I think he drowned something like that.
He passed away. Ozzy passed away. Hulk Hogan passed away. Chuck Mangione passed away. So many celebrity deaths all at once.
So I figured I would, put you in a better mood by telling you about this, this local celebrity in Auckland, New Zealand. He's not a person. He's a cat. Yeah. His name is Leo, but he's now being called Leonardo Da Pinchey because he's going around the neighborhood in Marengi Bay.
I believe that's how you say it. He's 15 old. He will go around, clothes lines and different bedrooms in the neighborhood and take your underwear. Yeah. He's got expensive taste according to the article.
His frequent hauls include silk boxer shorts, thick men's work socks as well, preferably with clothes pin, still attached. And in one mortifying episode for his humans, a brand new 300 New Zealand dollar cashmere sweater. The the the owner of Leonardo da Pinchey said my daughter was at home sick and she ringed me at work saying it's bad. It's bad. This is the worst thing he's brought in.
It's really bad. Talking I'm assuming about the, the sweater. There's a a picture here that I'm looking at of the complete haul. He not only steals the underpants, he also steals, the pants, different socks too. Growing up, I had this, older cat named Bandit.
My parents had him since, he was a kitten. But when I, you know, was about five, he was about, like, 15. He was older at the time, but he got his name because he would steal money from, my parents' money jar. And my dad was blaming my mom's dad who was living with, my parents at the time for stealing the money. Well, it turns out, you know, it was the cat.
My dad lifted up one couch cushion one day. Magically, there's all that money that was missing. A $100 bill, couple twenties in there, and that's why he was named Bandit. I do like this name a whole lot better, though. Leonardo da Pinchey, causing causing a whole bunch of trouble out in New Zealand.
Now I completely forgot what that website was called that Victor said to use to, fact check fake articles. I wanted to see if this one was, was real or not. I believe it might be. I have a feeling it is. It's from newsweek.com.
You can now Venmo the government to help pay off national debt. The federal the federal government will accept Venmo payments from citizens who want to help pay off the national debt. The treasury has begun accepting Venmo transactions as contributions towards the national debt, which currently stands at $36,000,000,000,000. The context is that The United States national debt surpassed 34,000,000,000,000 in 2024, raising ongoing questions about deficit spending and fiscal policy. I'm not trying to get political here on the show.
I'm just saying this is kinda funny. Now you can now just send a Venmo payment to the government, be like, okay. I did my part. You know, it's not not even your part. It's It's not even your fault.
You're just living. Just made me laugh. Somebody tweeted it out. You can Venmo The United States to help pay off the national debt. So if you feel like if you feel like doing something good today I don't I don't even know if it's good.
If you feel like doing so actually, I don't even want to say if you feel like doing so because I don't know. Is this a real website? Pay.gov? Is that really let me check this out for myself here. Pay.gov.
Does it actually load up a legitimate website? Oh, it does It says make a VA medical care co payments pay a former former military or civilian employment debt or employee debt I don't know. Visit a national park. You can pay for stuff there. So the site is legit.
I've never used it before. But, yeah. Well, there you go. I don't know what their Venmo username is, but I'm sure it'll be pretty easy to find out. Peach's Pip Party on k Bear 101.
You see a story like this and you never want your dog to kiss you ever again. A woman has died after a dog licked her wound. A court has heard. Her name is June Baxter. Her name was June Baxter.
83 years old. She cut her leg after falling, falling from her commode. The heck is a commode? Hold on. Copy, paste, commode, definition.
A piece of furniture containing a concealed chamber pot, a chest of drawers. Okay. Oh, so it's like an old chest type thing, but, apparently the dog licked her wound and the next day, she felt unwell. It was taken to the hospital, and then there was, like, some sort of bacteria commonly found in the mouths of animals that was on her wound, and then she died from septic shock. Secondary causes of death of death include kidney, liver, and heart condition, so she wasn't in the best of shape, but still.
I would almost almost say this is false advertising. Woman died from dog lick. She was 83 years old. 83 lived a really long life. I know, but sucks that, you know, now she's being labeled.
Now her way out was a dog licking her licking her wound wound just trying to be nice. That's all. Well, a 12 year old little leaguer from New Jersey named Marco Marco Rocco. Is that really his name? Marco Rocco?
He was ejected from playoff game after flipping his bat in celebration of a home run, making matters worse, league officials citing horseplay and safety concerns also suspended Rocco for one more game, which happens to be the upcoming state championship game. His father, Joe, Joe Rocco, is challenging the move in court and has requested an emergency temporary restraining order to try and reverse the suspension. Colorado Rockies' first round draft pick Ethan Holliday, who happens to be the son of Rockies star Matt Holliday, just agreed to a $9,000,000 signing bonus. That's the biggest bonus received by a high school player in draft history and the fourth biggest of all time. Holiday beat the mark previously held by his brother Jackson who got 8,190,000.00 when he signed with the Orioles in 2022.
It seems having a dad in the big leagues certainly helps when teams are looking for future stars in the draft and also helps a bit when signing the that that first contract. Keeping a spring football league running has always been tough, and the UFL is proving that again as the league is shutting down the franchises in Birmingham, Alabama, Detroit, Houston, and Memphis, Tennessee. They're moving them to new locations for the 2026 season. Boise, Idaho and Columbus, Ohio, along with yet to be determined cities in Florida and Kentucky. There you go.
Boise getting a UFL football team. That does it for your Shot Clock sports update right here on K Barre 101. There are certain people out there that are addicts to certain, I don't know, junk foods. I love Taco Bell. There's different sodas people are addicted to.
For the most part, you always hear about people and their obsession with, with Doctor Pepper, which I've talked about many times in the show before. And I think Addison Rae, the the the young influencer, has a, pop song that's called Diet Pepsi or something like that. I myself can't drink any diet drinks whatsoever. It has, aspartame in it or sucralose or or is it called sucralose? I forgot which one it is, but apparently, that messes with my nerve endings, so I can't have soda like that.
I just have to go with the full on or or water, You know? Be a hydro homie and drink water all the time, which I do drink tons of water. This morning, I I had to get up and use the restroom, like, 10 times because I was just sitting here drinking water the entire time. I did get a nice cherry Coke when I was at Costa Vida. Now here's my first world problem.
You ready for this? When I was at Costa Vida, I, had a sip of my Coke, after leaving the drive thru, and it definitely tasted like Diet Coke. So I did that thing where I just looped back around, went right into the restaurant and dumped it all out, got myself a Cherry Coke instead. I know I had to get out of my car to get up to get the soda that I wanted. The reason for me talking about this is because Fat Joe yeah.
He's no longer really fat. He's just he was just nicknamed that way back in the day. He's lost weight, and you can't really call yourself Skinny Joe. I mean, he could, but it's not necessarily the same. You've already built the brand as Fat Joe, but he's looking to be the king of, of Diet Pepsi.
Apparently, he says he drinks between 30 to 40 cans of Diet Pepsi per day. Mhmm. I guess he was on this podcast where, he was talking about it, and the people, the hosts were very concerned. And he was like, I don't care. I drink I drink too many Diet Pepsis.
Very, very much. I got a problem. 30 to 40 a day is what he said. And then he said, let me tell you something. If I went to the doctor and they told me, yo, you have a problem with due to Diet Pepsi, I gotta take that on the chin.
That's what he said there. So at least he knows he has a he has a problem. The first thing is to acknowledge it. The second thing is to really just cut back. I couldn't imagine drinking 30 to 40 sodas a day.
The day that I would knocking on wood. I I don't even wanna say this out loud. I don't wanna what what's it called? Manifest it into a real thing. I I really the the day that I'll stop drinking soda is the day that I have something like a kidney stone.
One of my friends just had that or had two of those actually because he drinks so much Doctor Pepper, and he's still drinking the Doctor Pepper. I would be scared straight. I would be like, you know what? I would become the hydra homie. I would say water all the time, maybe some juice, maybe some milk, but never never any soda after that.
I know this is rather sad almost too soon to talk about, people are questioning, the making healthy choices. They're questioning healthy living because Ozzy lived longer than Richard Simmons. Ozzy Osbourne still outlived Richard Simmons causing many to seriously question the healthy eating and exercise thing. Obviously, there's a whole parody article being made about this, but you gotta think, it's all about genetics. People were wondering how long Ozzy was going to truly last and, you know, Tuesday was the day that unfortunately, he he was gone and, you know, Hulk Hogan unfortunately passed away earlier this morning.
Ric Flair has lived longer than him. Keith Richards has lived longer than him. Clint Eastwood. One of the comments on this whole thing says no one wants to admit it. It's all about genetics.
It is literally all about genetics, and it truthfully is. 100%. You can still take care of yourself. But, I mean, also, you gotta think, like, doing this whole, like, outliving each other thing is kind of bogus because what if, like, the healthiest person on planet Earth gets run over by a car or gets shot something like that, you know? Not necessarily, like, the best way to you got cut short, you know?
You can't say, well, that person lived longer be for compared to that person. You just gotta I I don't know where I'm going with this. I just saw the headline and people were saying, you know, Ozzy lived longer than Richard Simmons, which means I can, do drugs and things like that. Please do not. Alright?
Don't develop that horrible habit. Hey. If you think you look like Adam Sandler or you have that one friend that kinda looks like him, maybe just, let him know, hey. You should fly to New York tonight and, see if you can win this Adam Sandler look alike contest they're doing to celebrate the release of the movie Happy Gilmore two, which comes out tomorrow, I believe, or technically, like, tonight at, like, you know, 10PM. I don't know how it works with, movie releases.
I know with music, every every Thursday night at 10PM on the dot, I start getting a barrage of emails being sent my way of, like, hey. This track just came out. You should play it. And, it's it's usually most exciting around that time because you get to see what what all has come out. I look on streaming, see all the release radar playlists and, you know, new music, new all new metal playlists to come out and see what's, what I've missed out on.
Well, Adam Sandler's look alike contest coming to Vesuvio Playground in New York City tomorrow. Contestants are encouraged to channel their inner sandman by wearing oversized tees, baggy shorts, and be ready with a, Billy Madison impression. The winner will take away the winner will walk away with what I think is a kind of a letdown of a grand prize, a bag of pickles, a Happy Gilmore two hockey putter, and most importantly what it says here, bragging rights. There's no cash involved. Just the Happy Gilmore two hockey putter that you can say, hey.
Yeah. I won this Adam Sandler look alike contest, and now this is hung above my, my mantle, hung above my fireplace. And then they also gave me a bag of pickles. No money, really. Kind of a letdown, but that seems like something Adam Sandler would do, to be quite honest with you.
K Bear one zero one. It is Peach's pip party. I was sitting here wondering when was the last concert I I was at? And then I realized, oh, yeah. It was Cody Jinx not that long ago.
For some reason, I was thinking that it was disturbed back in February at the, Ford Idaho Center. I'm like, that was that really the last concert I was at for the year? But then I realized also that Tuesday next week, I'm hopefully gonna be in Salt Lake City at the Scene Queen Deadlands show. I know most people are not familiar with those bands, but Deadlands, Kasey Carlson, she is more so. I don't want I don't wanna necessarily call her an influencer, but I wanna say she does more TikToks of, her covering different tracks, but she's also in her own band called Deadlands.
I've had her on the show before and she is awesome. And, she's an up and comer in the game as well. So it's cool to to help out help support, spread the word about these up and comers in the rock and metal scene. So I'll be seeing Scene Queen in Deadlands next Tuesday, hopefully, at the sound well down at Salt Lake. And then Friday, that a week from tomorrow, I will I'm going to be at in Pocatello, hopefully, for the Dropkick Murphy show with Bad Religion, the main liners.
We're we're wrapping up our ticket giveaway for that show this week. Listen out for that cue to call. And then shortly after that, a week after that show is gonna be Weird Out, which I think I also am hopefully going to attend. So there was a there was a little bit there where there was hardly anything and then all of a sudden three concerts in the span of, like, two weeks. And I'm excited for it.
If you wanna go to any show, check out our concert calendar available to you at riverbedmediagroup.com/calendar. I am very excited for what's to come in August. I'm gonna try my best to go as many as I can, but also at the same time, I'm planning my trip to go back home to celebrate my 20 birthday on August 29 and go back to California, spend it with my family, spend some time with my dad because he'll be turning 60 on September 2. So, yeah, I'll be doing a whole California getaway towards the tail end of summer. But I will I will try my best to go to as many concerts as I can this year.
Riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. Hopefully, I will see you at shows in the future. I wish I went to go see this person, Poppy, in Salt Lake City. Here's the cost of giving up. Earlier today well, on Tuesday, I interviewed Molly, the lead singer of Living Dead Girl, and that was also the day where Ozzy passed away.
Then today, I was, scheduled to interview Speed Speed of this band called Silvertongue. And sure enough, Hulk Hogan passes away this morning. I'm kind of afraid to go do another artist interview. I'm real worried. I I just shared a clip to Justin from one zero five the Hawk.
We're both, wrestling fans. You know, he's much more familiar with the more old school wrestlers. And I shared a clip of Ric Flair, crying over Hulk Hogan's death. It's truly tragic to see, but Ric Flair, man, he's not looking good at all. And there was somebody in the Ka Bar group when I posted about, like, what I posted about Hulk Hogan's death in the Ka Bar group and somebody said, be on the lookout for Phil Collins next.
And I agreed with somebody replying to him saying, hey, don't you dare. I I I shut your mouth. I can't. I I would be extremely sad, devastated to hear about the passing of Phil Collins, one of my all time favorite, classic artists there. We've lost a lot this week.
I I'm hoping that we don't lose any more and I just want this week to be 100 over with. So I was sitting here just scrolling Reddit trying to find anything to really talk about. It's one of those slower news days. I could continue talking about the passing of Ozzy and Hulk Hogan because it's literally every single post on my feed. Also, there were some other, passings as well that kind of gotten overlooked because of Ozzy and Hulk Hogan, rest in peace to those as well, like Chuck Mangione and, all of that.
But I was scrolling, and I I came across this subreddit called r slash anti consumption. And this person was bragging, talking about how they have zero labooboos. I still really don't know what the heck those are. Zero episodes of Love Island watched even though my one of my, not necessarily friends, just more so a classmate from high school was on that show. I still didn't feel the need to watch it.
I'm not necessarily a fan of trashy reality TV. I don't know. Something about it. And then zero Dubai chocolate products ingested. I was just at Costco yesterday, and, I saw a box of those Dubai chocolate bars, and I was going, what is drawing people to these?
Are they just that tasty? Do they have pistachios in them? Do I need to spend $18 on a box of these, you know, chocolate ice cream bars? And I could go to some place like Winco and get, I don't know, maybe, like, a whole bunch more for less money. And the older I get, the more I think about, like, all the useless crap I used to buy, like those, I didn't so I have, like, seven Funko Pops.
I didn't buy a single one of them. They've all been gifted to me. No. I take that back. I bought one years ago back when I was a diehard fan of Five Finger Death Punch.
I bought Knucklehead, the, you know, the the mascot of the band, but all the rest I didn't buy. I was gifted those Funko Pops, and I'm sitting here like, those things are just dust collectors. They're DCs. Is what I like to call them. You know?
And I kinda wanna get rid of them. I kinda wanna just ship them to my friend, Cryo, who lives in Southern California. Every single time I go on Discord with him, his collection grows and grows and grows behind him because he turns on his camera and I see all these Funko Pops like he's a a part owner of the brand right behind him. So I'm like, you know what? If I were to ship those to him, they would go to a great cause.
Is Love Island really worth watching? If you wanna message me on social media, please feel free to do so. Let me know your review. Or let me know your review on the Dubai chocolate products as well. Just let me know at Brendon Peach or message the, the Cabear app.
Tap the mic icon there. Let me know. Dozens of peacocks and peahens. Is that really what you call female peacocks, peahens? You learn something new every day.
They have dozens of these, peacocks and peahens have gone missing from a hotel in Sacramento, and authorities are suspecting foul play. No. It all started when a guest at the Ride Hotel spotted two men loading a peacock into a cage on the back of a pickup truck. That tip led staff to do a headcount, and they were stunned to find only four birds remained. David Nielsen, the hotel's general manager, says the staff is heartbroken.
The colorful birds were a big part of the historic, hotel, and guests enjoyed, seeing them just strut around the grounds. Authorities are investigating the case. It's a property crime. And with male peacocks, they're valued around $2 peahens at a thousand. There was no this is no small loss.
Since the news broke, the hotel has received calls with tips and sightings, including rumors of neighbors suddenly showing off new peacock pets. How stupid. Right? Hey. I got this new peacock I just bought from this guy in a van.
In the meantime, the ride hotel is boosting security with more cameras and fencing. They're also getting some great marketing out of this because considering I'm talking about some random hotel in Sacramento, California. Hopefully, those peacocks can be brought home. There's really nothing funny about this other than that stupid foul play comment. Best of luck.
Best of luck to those, those in search of the peacocks and peahens. I have to give a major shout out to my friend Bryson. He moved back to East Idaho from, from Georgia. And on his travels back, he stopped at a Buc ee's down in Georgia, which, of course, is the Peach State. And so he got me not only a sick Buc ee's t shirt, but along the traveling route, he got me other souvenirs.
Like, he also got me a Georgia peach mug that I'll be using to drink tea out of from here on out, a Wyoming shot glass, a Georgia shot glass as well. Even though I don't drink at all, I like to collect shot glasses, but this Buc ee's T shirt, I'm wearing it today. It's nice and comfortable. And the reason why I'm talking about Buc ee's is not only to give Bryson some proper cred for thinking about me and, you know, deciding to give me stuff even though he didn't need to. There was plenty of buzz going around Utah recently about Buc ee's potentially coming to Spanish Fork, Utah for days.
Rumors had been going around that a lawn revered Buc ee's location was going to be built. In fact, the rumors were running so hot, they even had a spot. Of course, Spanish Fork, a fever was growing. People were dreaming of grabbing a bag of those beaver nuggets, some crunchy cheesy curls, or dare we say it's the holy grail brisket. You know?
Even Google AI claimed the rumor to be true that, yes, the mega popular gas station slash convenience store slash wonderland that has become the stuff a folk legend was coming to Utah. So Wednesday night, Spanish Fork City itself squashed the hopes and dreams of those waiting to see a Utah Buc ee's. They they decided to post, some say if you whisper Buc ee's three times at sunset, a beaver appears with a brisket sandwich. That's about as real as the Texas sized rumor going around. Should that ever change, we'll let you know.
So, well, Buc ee's not set to come to Utah anytime soon, but hopefully they do in the near future. We need to have a Buc ee's here. Aren't we getting a Buc ee's in Meridian that's still farther away than, you know, Salt Lake City? But still, I I would definitely go the four hours just to go see the Buc ee's and try try the beaver nuggets. Try the the brisket, the holy grail, as they say in this article.
Just a tad earlier, I mentioned that we are giving away tickets for Dropkick Murphy's Bad Religion and the Mainliners live at the Portniff Health Trust Amphitheater in Pocatello. Well, tomorrow's the last day that we're gonna be doing that giveaway, same with the weird Al Yankovic ticket giveaway. Tomorrow, we'll give away the final pair or pairs of tickets for Weird Al and Dropkick Murphy's Bad Religion and the main liners. Cannot wait for both of those shows. Dropkick Murphy's was a whole lot of fun the last time they were out here.
I'm not even a big fan of the Dropkick Murphy's, to be quite honest with you, but seeing them live the last time, such a fun time. They're rowdy. It's a punk show. You got Bad Religion, who I saw many years ago at the Sunset Strip Music Festival in Los Angeles. It was bad religion, Black Label Society, the offspring, and a couple of other acts out there right there in LA.
So, yeah, it's been it's been a long, long time. Brooks Wackerman, their former drummer, His dad was a teacher at my middle school. Greg Graffin seems like a cool dude. I'm hoping we can get the chance to interview him. Victor was supposed to interview Tim Brennan of the Dropkick Murphys today.
But since he, was not feeling well, he couldn't do it. And then I had an interview at the same time with Speed from Silverton, so I couldn't handle it either. But I did interview Tim Brennan quite a while ago, the last time that they were in town in Idaho Falls. This time, Pocatello giving away tickets to both those shows, dropkick Murphy's Bad Religion, the main liners, as well as Weird Al Yankovich at the Mountain America Center on August 8. So tomorrow, the last day, if you want those tickets to be yours, listen extra carefully on the upcoming on on on your Friday tomorrow.
Well, this question felt fitting for today, for what has happened over this past week. So many celebrity deaths. I mean, Tuesday just felt like any other day that all of a sudden, boom, I see that notification. Ozzy Osbourne has passed away at 76 years old. And then today, this morning, Hulk Hogan passed away.
So which celebrity death hit you the hardest? I see a lot of great answers already on the KhabAir one zero one Facebook page, but I wanna hear yours live on the air. Which one affected you? For me, the biggest one, Kobe Bryant. Obviously, growing up a basketball player, hearing about the Mamba mentality.
You know, I grew up in Southern California being close to where the Lakers played. Got to see the Lakers play, I think, like, twice. I went to predominantly Clippers games because the tickets were so much cheaper because the Clippers are nothing nothing close to the Lakers, especially nowhere near close as Kobe Bryant's legacy. So when he all of a sudden tragically passed away, I was working at TMZ at the time, and I'm glad that I wasn't in the newsroom when it happened because that would have been so much work for me and the rest of the staff there. I I think it was, yeah, it was 2020.
And I think I was off that day or something, but I remember my friend Matt texted, Kobe died? What? And then I was like, no. You're you're clearly reading a stupid rumor. And then sure enough, shortly afterwards, it was confirmed.
Kobe Bryant passed away. What? And so I freaked out, and I was highly affected by that one. So which celebrity death affected you, hit you which celebrity death hit you the hardest? Let me know for the peach their own (208) 535-1015.
K Bear, what's happening? Hey, Peaches. What's going on? Hey. I'd have to say Randy Rhoads.
Oh, another rock star we lost way too soon. Yeah. Way way way too soon. Yeah. What what what year did he die?
Like, 1983? 1982. I just looked it up. '82, I think. Yeah.
Thought he was only, what, like, 27? 25. Yep. 27. Oh, was was it 25?
Yeah. 25 years old. 1956 to 1982, he died in that plane crash. Yeah. And Ozzy always blamed himself for it.
Right. Yeah. I did watch that little clip recently. So that's a great answer, man. Thank you so much for that.
No worries. Thanks, man. Hey. You have a good one. Mhmm.
You too. Bye. Which celebrity death hit you the hardest? Let me know for Depeach Theron. (208) 535-1015.
K Bear, how's it going? Oh, alright. How are you? Oh, I'm doing great. You have an answer for Depeach Theron?
