Alright. Here we are. Tuesday, 08/05/2025, kicking off the show with the latest track from We Came as Romans, Where Did You Go? He's just simply asking that. That's it.
It's Peach's Pip Party. If you wanna get a hold of me, you can over at (208) 535-1015. There's a new report out showing that over half of American teens have seriously considered careers as influencers, models, or even content creators on sites like OnlyFans. Yeah. We've officially entered the era where I want to be an astronaut has been replaced with I wanna have a ring light and never pay for lunch again.
Now on one hand, I get it. You're 16. You know, you're in high school. You're looking down. You're looking to the future, and you see student debt, wage stagnation, jobs that want you to have a degree, five years of experience, and the willingness to work weekends for $17 an hour.
It's hard to get pumped about traditional careers, especially when you're scrolling TikTok and you're seeing people just get rich by being hot, funny, or vaguely unhinged. But here's the kicker. The fame and fast cash looks glamorous, but the there's full on grind too. You know, constant content, chasing trends, staying relevant, monetizing your entire existence for existence for clicks. I I've talked with Casey Carlson of Deadlands not that long ago.
She has, like, 400,000 Instagram followers. And on top of being a content creator, she's in a touring band. She's making music. She's always doing something. And she was, talking with me and the the rest of the crew that was there at the, SoundWell in Salt Lake, And, she was showing all the, videos she had saved on her phone, and she talked more about how she records all these videos all at once to then post them, you know, throughout the year.
And it's quite crazy. I mean, I have to post every single day on a whole bunch of different platforms here. I can only imagine also being in a touring band. And it's not just them. Like, From Ashes to New posts a lot on social media, I Prevail, Motionless and White.
There's tons of bands out there that way you need to have a social media person to really help you get that online boost because it's all about streaming. It's all about clicks. Just saw that survey. I was like, that's kinda crazy. And it is wild to see, like, people on OnlyFans, you know, gain tons of money just by showing off their body, that type of thing.
What a weird future. Anyway, if you wanna get a hold of me, you can over at (208) 535-1015 We'll continue here in just a few. Starting on August 13, YouTube is testing a new machine learning system with a limited group of US users. Instead of trusting the birthday on the account, it analyzes behavioral signals like what videos you search for, watch categories, account age, and more to decide whether the user is 18. If the system flags someone as a teen, YouTube automatically rolls out its youth protection suite.
Personalized ads are blocked. Digital well-being reminders kick in. Content recommendations on sensitive topics are restricted. Even bedtime or screen time prompts get triggered as well. But mistakes can happen if the AI misidentifies an adult as a minor.
The users can appeal by uploading a government ID, selfie, or even a credit card, which is nuts, right, for manual age verification before regaining access to age restricted content. So, what's my YouTube search history? A whole lot of old Howard Stern clips, a whole lot of content creators trying different foods. Every time that I eat, every time I'm I'm on something like my lunch break, I I sit in my car eating whatever food I have. And to feel, not so bad about myself, I'll watch a content creator eat, like, the highest calorie foods at different restaurants, or I'll watch, like, different food critics critique different hot chicken sandwiches, things like that.
Would that consider me under 18? I I think maybe the old Howard Stern clips, maybe the AI will think, hey. This guy must be older than what he actually is because he's listening to old radio clips from back, like, the early nineties, mid nineties. I do listen to a lot of different old radio clips. Such a radio nerd that I just look for those on YouTube, so I think I'll be safe for now.
You ever feel like your vacuum cleaner just sucks? It's sucking. It's not doing its job. There's a, TikTok cleaning hack going viral. Apparently.
I haven't seen a single video of this happening, but I also rarely ever use TikTok. I kinda just post a video, get off of there, and I only use the Khabear account. I have my own TikTok account, and I switched over to it last night, Saw people had DM'd me. I went, oh, whoops. Forgot to get back to this person.
They sent me videos back in early July. Just haven't gotten to them. Well, supposedly, there's this cleaning hack gone viral where people place a full watermelon on top of their vacuums to add weight to it, supposedly boosting suction and getting that deep carpet clean. Tom's guides, the website, tried it themselves. The extra pressure did help the vacuum, dig dirtier dust out of the carpet, but the watermelon kept rolling off mid clean.
No kidding. Making the whole process awkward, slow, and kinda messy. They had to proceed at a snail's pace just to keep the melon in place. Are you so instead, could you just lean down on the vacuum? Like, could I put all my weight on it and break the vacuum, and I'm out of a vacuum?
My vacuum, the one that I have is awful. I haven't upgraded at all ever since I bought, like, my first ever like, you know, when you have, like, have one of those toddler toys that says, my first vacuum my vacuum's sorta like that, but I feel like it also does worse than those toddler toys. And every so often, I'll borrow a friend's vacuum, and it, it works. You know? They come over, bring the vacuum.
I vacuum for, like, five minutes, give it back to them. Simple as that. Every so often, I get notifications of, players in sports, no matter what the sport is, signing a massive contract, five years, 250,000,000, eight years, 500,000,000. You know? It's just outrageous what these, athletes are making.
But Meta just dropped a staggering $250,000,000 to recruit this single 24 year old AI researcher. Yeah. You heard that right. Matt Ditke, I believe that's how you say his last name, turned down a 125,000,000 offer from Meta. He just turned it down and said, no.
No. Thank you. So that prompted, you know, the good old Zuck, Mark Zuckerberg, to step in personally, doubling the offer and sealing one of the largest tech compensation deals ever reported. Ditke left his PhD program at the University of Washington, rose to prominence developing Molmo, a multimodal model chatbot multimodal chatbot using vision, audio, and text at the Allen Institute for AI. He later cofounded this company called Vercept, which has raised around $17,000,000 to build autonomous AI agents that execute online tasks on their own.
Believe it or not, one headline summed it up. We have reached the climax of revenge of the nerds, an economist's metaphor for just how bonkers the tech money game has become. But, it isn't all hype. Users are saying Ditke's previous AI tool, Vi, had real limitations, fine on chat GPT and all this stuff. But could you imagine $250,000,000 offered to you personally by the Zuck himself?
How unreal that is. Just to think, you know, I'm barely getting by doing this. Maybe I should get into the whole AI business. This season, ACC games on ESPN will broadcast real time conversations between referees, replay officials, and the league's command center, giving viewers a behind the scenes look at the decision making process. It's a first for college football and also in cool a cool improvement that makes sure everyone, including fans, coaches, and broadcasters know exactly what's going on out there.
The Baltimore Orioles did something for the first time in the modern baseball era on Sunday, but you might not have noticed it until you looks closely at their lineup. The Orioles started Jackson Holiday at second base, Jeremiah Jackson in right field, and Alex Jackson at catcher. It's the first time since 1900 that three players with the name Jackson as their first or last name were in the starting lineup for a team. This is news, apparently. Plus those three also combined for a play at the plate as Jackson threw to Jackson, who threw to Jackson, who tagged out the Cubs' Carson Kelly out at home.
Damian Lillard of the, Portland Trail Blazers is the latest basketball player to take a job at his old college. Lillard has been named general manager of Weber State's basketball team. The school says that Lillard will work closely with the coaching staff and the athletic department to provide insight, mentorship, and guidance using his experience at the collegiate and professional levels to elevate the program. Lillard's move follows Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry, who will serve as assistant GM at his alma mater Davidson and Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young, who will serve in that same role at Oklahoma. Why not do one more?
In a surprising move, the NCAA has decided not to expand the men's and women's basketball tournaments for the upcoming season. There were discussions about increasing the number of teams, but the tournaments will stay put at 68 teams for now, preserving the format we all know and love at least for another year. Now that does it for your Shot Clock sports update right here on KayBear one zero one. Peach's pit party on KayBear one zero one. I remember not that long ago, Victor was, wanting to go live on his TikTok, but just couldn't because, he didn't have a thousand followers.
Apparently, you need that to be able to go live on TikTok. And now as of this month, you now need a public account with at least 1,000 followers to use Instagram's live feature. Should I check and see real fast if Victor does have a thousand Instagram followers? I don't think he does. Let's see here.
Victor Wilt, 960. 40 away. If you wanna follow Victor Wilt, help support him. Get past a thousand followers so he can go live on Instagram at Victor Wilt. It all if you're not if you're under the 1,000 or your account's set to private, you won't be able to broadcast live anymore.
Instead, Instagram suggests using private video calls for smaller scale interactions. I remember, like, people back in high school. Not high school. People not that long ago. Some of my friends would friends of mine would just go live on Instagram for no reason.
They would just sit there and talk to each other. So I guess, we're just cutting down on that for whatever reason. Oh, wait. It says here this move aligns with Instagram's, aligns Instagram more closely with TikTok, which it also requires the whole thing. While Meta hasn't provided an official reason, it's speculated that this change aims to improve content quality, reduce infrastructure cost, and encourage more professional use of the feature.
I guess. I guess. Alright. This one's wild. So Jim Acosta, the CNN guy, recently did an interview, not with a person, but with an AI version of Joaquin Oliver, one of the kids that was killed in the Parkland shooting.
Now Joaquin's parents made this digital avatar using AI, trying to keep his message alive about gun violence and things like that. And Acosta went along with it, saying it was a one of a kind interview. Of course, it was. I mean, you're you're interviewing a basically a robot. It's a crazy idea watching this AI version talk.
You know, it's kinda creepy. The the voice, in the interview sounds sounds robotic. The movements were all jerky. Like, it was out of a glitchy video game. People online, you know, not exactly thrilled either.
Some said it felt disrespectful, just plain weird. Others get that Joaquin's dad thought it was a way to hear his son's voice again, but still there's something off about using AI like that, you know, especially when there are real survivors and voices out there who could speak for themselves. I I remember it was such a big deal on Tupac. His hologram was brought to Coachella. What year was that?
2016? I'm shocked they haven't done anything else with that. Like, they haven't taken the hologram on tour. Watch me speak too soon, and all of a sudden that pops up somehow in the near future. I love these dumb food hacks or whatever you call them.
Apparently, there's this new miracle cure for migraines blowing up on TikTok. They're calling it the Mcmigraine meal. I think that's funny. All it is is a large Coke and some large fries from McDonald's. That's it.
Somehow people swear this combo magically just kills your headaches. I'm I'm believing this is more so a recipe for a heart attack than it is to fix a headache. That's that's just me. But caffeine and salt can help with high headaches can help with headaches sometimes. You know, I'm looking at what the, doctors are saying here because, you know, they're shooting this one down.
They're like, yeah. This is not a good thing to do. Get yourself a bucket of soda, a bucket of fries. Get yourself that Mcmigrain meal. Where's the article at?
Oh, there's the part. I was like, where's that part of the article at? Health experts are throwing cold water on it, insisting that it is not a healthy or medically proven remedy. Although caffeine, sugar, salt, carbs may temporarily relieve migraine symptoms, the Coke and Fries remedy packs over seven hundred milligrams of sodium. So if you have something like POTS, you know, a heart condition where you need salt, this is perfect for you.
Only has nine and a half grams of fat, but it also has that 100 grams of added sugar. Consuming the Mcmigrain meal on a regular basis could definitely cause some long term health problems. No kidding. Experts suggest talking to your doctor for ways to treat migraines. It would be funny to hear that doctor visit from somebody.
Hey. Is it okay if I give myself a Mcmigrain meal? Doctor's like, what were you talking about? Oh, you know, just somebody on TikTok said I could, drink a large Coke, eat some fries. No ketchup, of course.
I don't know why the doesn't say anything about ketchup. I'm sure you can dip them in ketchup too. The Mcmigrain meal. I like the name of that, the Mcmigrain meal. I'm loving it.
Maybe tomorrow, I can ask this question for the peach their own. I'll add it to my list here. What's a non serious opinion you'll defend like it's life or death? Usually, I I feel like no. I feel like I've asked this question before where it's been like, what's a hill you'll die on no matter what?
Kinda similar in that vein. You know? The only difference between afternoon soap operas and medical and police drama series is budget. Top answer here. Cans should stack if you make a product in place if you make a product and place it in a can that doesn't stack with your other cans, I will look for a brand that doesn't stack to purchase instead that does stack to purchase instead.
My bad. Jack and Rose and Titanic would have broken up in three weeks if they both survived. The the relationship was based off infatuation, and the honeymoon phase would have worn off quickly. I I guess. What's a non serious opinion you'll offend like it's life or death?
Make burgers wider, not higher. 100%. I, I, myself, don't really care for those thick burgers. I like just a regular one. Anytime someone says, like, it's a huge beef patty.
I could kinda I don't know. I get kinda grossed out by that. This one, I agree with 100%. I don't know a single person that had a terrible 2016. It says that 2016 where everyone was playing Pokemon Go is the closest we'll ever get to world peace, and it's all been downhill from there.
So this one's a little wild, literally. I talked about this. We talked about this on the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem earlier today. The Seattle Kraken hockey team decided to take a break from crushing the Bruins and go fly fishing up in Katmai National Park in Alaska. Sounds peaceful.
Right? Well, not exactly. Turns out some grizzly bears had, had their own fishing plans, and they weren't thrilled about a bunch of hockey players standing in their spot. The bear got pretty close. Well, I guess there was more than one.
There's only one in the video. The bears got pretty close. One even charged at the Kraken's mascot, Bowie the sea troll. And he's in the middle of the water in that full costume. Yeah.
A sea troll mascot versus a grizzly bear. The bear, of course, had the upper hand. Luckily, everyone got out of there safe and sound, but the video the team shared, it's pretty tense. You just see this grizzly bear run towards the, run towards the mascot. The the players run out of the way to get out of there.
Probably one of those, you know, don't try this at home moments. So next time you wanna take a peaceful, fishing trip, maybe leave the, the hockey gear and the and the mascot at home. So check this out. The Portland Pickles, yeah, that quirky summer baseball team grabbed a, quote, unquote, random fan from the stands to bat during fan appreciation night, and the dude absolutely crushed it. On his first at bat, he draws a walk, then steals second, advances, and scores.
In the second, he slams a home run just like that. The crowd goes wild viral video, and now this random guy is the pickles newest player for the rest of the season. Turns out Dixie, as he was dubbed, is actually Eli Steinhaus, a college infielder from Lewis and Clark College. So maybe not entirely random, but if this counts as scouting, sign me up. You know?
I'll try my best at it. His softball resume, not exactly shining in college. Hit a one eighty five average with 24 hits, 14 RBIs over nearly 50 games. Still, he got offered a contract, though, and Portland fans have a new hero now if he keeps hitting like that. So who knows?
Maybe the the hops or even an expansion MLB team could call next. In other words, next time a team picks a random fan to take a swing, maybe if the Chuckers decide to take a random fan to take a swing, I'll go for it. Why not? I made a few updates to our concert calendar, always available to you at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. There's also a shortcut to it on the K Bear Alt and Cannonball one zero one apps.
Let's take a look at that calendar here in two days. The show that I wish I could go to, Architects Era Holy Water Live at the complex in Salt Lake City. There's a there's a couple heavier shows on the way here. Most people won't know the band, Volvodynia. They'll be at the Metro Music Hall, August 8.
See what see what I'm talking about? Stick to your guns as well. Boundaries, another band coming up soon. I wish I went to that Boundary Show. But for those that just like, you know, little little little little lighter rock, shine down and bush, August 11 at the Maverick Center.
Nine inch nails coming up soon, August 14, the Maverick Center as well. We Came as Romans, the band that I played for my pick of the day with After the Burial in Currents and Johnny Booth, August 15, the Union Event Center. You know you know who the band are last night? You know, this is their final tour, and their final shows that you can catch them at are coming up quick. August 15, the complex.
August 16, the Revolution Concert House in Boise. And let's not forget about three eleven Bad Flower sitting on Saturn live at the Portnip Health Trust Amphitheater, August 16. Could be a fun show giveaway tickets for that. Check out that concert calendar always available to you at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. Earlier today on the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, which, by the way, you can catch that show on demand wherever you get your podcasts.
I uploaded today's. No. I didn't. Wait. I gotta I still gotta do that.
Hold on. I don't know why I just lied. No. I didn't upload today's. I need to do that still.
So, hopefully, in the next couple of minutes or so, it will be on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etcetera. But we talked about we talked about, like, if you were to annoy people at a bar, what song would you choose? On the, TouchTunes, the jukebox, whichever one it is, what song would you choose to annoy other, people at the bar? And, Victor said he played Pink Floyd Echoes, which is like a twenty minute lawn song. You know how Pink Floyd is.
You know, you gotta be you gotta be under the influence of a particular substance in order to really appreciate them. A twenty minute long song will surely do it. I did annoy tons of people at a bar, back home in California with, Chumbawamba tub thumping. Of course, I I'm predicting I'll see Baby Shark on here. I don't think they put that on the jukebox, thankfully, or the, TouchTunes because I think the, bar owners can choose what gets put on there.
Right? I might be ignorant saying that, but I think they have some sort of, like, influence or say, I should say, and what gets put on the, the touch tunes little thing there because you wouldn't want any annoying songs to be played. Right? Well, I don't know. Maybe there could be a bar owner like me that would do something like that, put some annoying songs on there, like Bloodhound gain, something like that.
Anyway, today is to peach their own question. If you had to pick one song to play at the bar to get on everyone's nerves, what would it be? Let me know. 2085351015. Hey, K Bear.
What's happening? Not too bad. James? Not much. Sorry.
If you had to pick one song to play at the bar to get on everyone's nerves, what would it be? I actually have a few, but the one that I actually put on, mostly to annoy the crap out of my wife is, Iron Maiden's Flight of the Icarus. Well, why does she not like that song? Because it's, like, twenty minutes long, and she just doesn't like Iron Maiden very much. Wow.
And you married her? No. I'm just kidding. Yeah. Yeah.
We just had thirteen years yesterday. Oh, very nice. Well, happy anniversary to you and the missus. And, I know you're one of our winners for Weird Al, so it's gonna be very exciting for that show this Friday. Yeah.
I can't wait to see what my tickets look like. Yeah. It's gonna be, it's gonna be awesome for that show for sure. Yeah. That's gonna be a good one.
Alright. I will thank you for the answer, James. Is awesome. I got, another person, calling in here, so I'm gonna see what they want too. And, yeah.
Alright. Well, have a good one, man. You too. Hey, K Bear. How's it going?
Hey. So to Pete's Their Own, the song you would annoy people in the bar with? Yeah. What does a fox say? Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.
I think that would do it. I forgot about that. When did that come out? Like, 2012? Yeah.
Oh, I'm sure what does the Fox say? I don't know who sings it, but that song can get on some people's nerves. And, you know, I mean, speaking for myself too. Yeah. That's that's a good one, I think.
Came out 2013, twelve years ago. Twenty k. What what what is the name of the song? What does the fox say? Yeah.
It's just what is the what is the fox say? And it's by a guy named Ylvis. It's y l v I s. K. Well, I I think that's a pretty good one for your sig segment right now.
Alright. Well, thank you very much. Thanks, Tom. Bye. (208) 535-1015.
If you had to pick one song to play at the bar to get in everyone's nerves, what would it be? Let me know. K Bear, what's going on? Hey. Not much.
If you had to, if you had to pick one song to play at the bar to get in everyone's nerves, what would it be? Tub Thumping. My Tubba Wamba. Tub Thumping. Oh, yeah.
The classic. Good answer to them, man. Good then. Thank you very much for that. Yeah.
You're welcome. Have a good one. You too. K Bear, what's going on? Just trying to end my day.
What about yourself? Same same here, man. Same here. You still got hours to go, buddy. Well, I'm off at five.
The show just goes till seven. Oh, that's horse crap. Through the magic of radio, my voice is still on the air. Right. Fucking recording.
I I ran into listeners, like, as my show was going on, and I'm shocked none of them were like for real? Yeah. Well, to go on your topic there, Enrique Iglesias, I can be your hero. That song is so cringey, dude. I I remember, like, I thought that was, like, a nice sappy track back in the day, and I started watching the music video and listening to it again.
I'm like, this song makes me, like, cringe big time. I have never seen the music video. I I wouldn't I wouldn't recommend it. It's just him looking trying to look sexy over a piano. And yeah.
Right. Right. Right. Right on. Yeah.
There's nobody better on the piano than Zack Wyler. Oh, for sure. I don't know. What's it called? I like, Eddie Van Halen's, Right Now song.
Right? So good. Right? Have you checked out of any black, Zach Wild's solo guitar or not guitar, piano stuff he's got out there. I do like, that his track In This River, but I haven't heard, like, his, his solo songs.
More songs out there that he's got that are just on the piano. Okay. And if there's one guy that I'd love to have sing me a lullaby, it would be Zach Wild. Thanks for listening to Peach's Pit Party, the podcast. If you enjoyed the show, please share, subscribe, and rate the podcast.
