So many podcasts. You can find them all in one place as well at riverbendmediagroup.com/podcast. Now I did see here I know a lot of you are not going to wanna hear this. The Farmer's Almanac. Is it Almanac or is it Almanac?
Almanac just sounds funnier to me. And I'm sure it's just Almanac, but according to the Farmers' Almanac, so supposedly, the forecast for the Idaho winter this this year is that it's gonna be frigid. Now this rider, Michelle Hart, said, I don't wanna jinx it, but it seems like summer twenty twenty five has been surprisingly mellow. No. It's been incredibly hot.
It's been way hotter than other years. By the end of last summer, the Boise area recorded a ridiculous triple 20 triple digit days. 20 triple digit days. It's been the it's been mid nineties, but that's about it. But the Farmers' Almanac says, but it's called chill snow repeat.
The forecast begins by naming which areas of the country will experience the coldest temperatures. The long range forecast initially names the area from the Northern Plains to New England, but goes on to add the Northwest into the mix. In fact, it specifically mentions the Northwest should also prepare for a cold winter, especially in Idaho and Washington. They put Idaho in bold in the actual forecast. The most significant cold snaps are expected in mid January, mid February.
As for snow, they predict the Pacific Northwest Mountains are gearing up for some impressive snowfall totals. Again, I'll believe it when I see it. Who trusts the Farmers' Almanac? I don't know. Didn't they say, like, other things in actually, like, last year and turns out it was way off and, you know, they go, oh, we, might have been might have been a little little wrong with that one, but who knows?
Idaho weather is so unpredictable. Like I've mentioned before, that 2023 where it was nice and it was perfect from, like, the beginning of the day all the way to 5PM, and then all of a sudden it would just rain every single day. I hated that because every single time I book a flight to go back home, I worry about the weather affecting my flight. I I just do. I get incredibly anxious.
I become the most extreme weather guy. I start looking into forecasts, the probability of rain potentially happening, thunderstorms potentially happening, all of that because I wanna have a smooth flight. Because there's so much prep that goes on here with my afternoon show and everything in between that I just I just don't wanna do all of this work, and then my flight gets canceled last minute because there was some thunder 50 miles away, you know. Anyway, enough of my, talking here. I'll be back though soon.
I'll be back soon for, more content, I guess. (208) 535-1015 is the number to get a hold of me. Peach's pit party will be right back on KBAR at 01:01. This Saturday, August 16, Justin from one zero five the hawk, Josh from Classy ninety seven, they'll both be going to the Idaho Falls Farmers Market with the, Riverbend Media Group, booth. They'll be having that whole thing set up there, and they'll be collecting donations for the Idaho Falls Community Food Basket.
They're especially in need of items like mac and cheese, canned, chili cereal, some other stuff on here, one to two pounds dry pasta. You can find the full list of requested items by clicking the Farmers Market link through any of the channel apps. Make sure to come see Josh and Justin this Saturday, 9AM to 2PM right there on Memorial Drive. And then check out all the other vendors that are gonna be at the Idaho Falls Farmers Market. Again, that link can be found in the K Bear alt and Cannonball one zero one apps.
As I'm sure you're well aware, it's back to school time. A lot of kids getting posted on their parents' Facebook pages, first day of whatever grade. You know? It's them outside the front door. They grow up so fast.
I think my mom has has pictures of me from preschool all the way to senior year of college, I think. My mom was pretty, adamant about that. Same with the yearbooks. We have every yearbook from every grade that both me and my sister have been in, and those are not cheap whatsoever. The first high school I went to, you had to pay, like, a $120 or more.
I forgot how much it was for this giant Harry Potter book because there was 4,000 students at that high school. So, of course, there's a lot of different clubs, students' pictures, many different things, faculty as well. I can only imagine growing up in a super small town and the yearbook is like a brochure. But since it's back to school time, what is something from school that sticks with you to this day? Not talking about grammar, geometry.
What is something unusual for whatever reason has just stayed with you? The words to a poem you had to memorize, maybe? Your locker combination? Do I still remember my locker combination? I don't think so.
You think I wouldn't still, but then there's there's some weird things that I remember, like the preposition song. I memorized that to a t. I I spent all this time memorizing that. I don't know why. There was a big test where you had to, fill in the, every single preposition there was in that song.
And I almost got myself in trouble because I I almost sang it out loud at at the desk, which every student around me, which would have loved to hear because it would have been the right answers about above, across after, against, the law, and amid the whole thing. Someone else wrote the smell of the cafeteria. You You know what? I I might need to go pay a visit to my old elementary school principal, go see how she's doing. I think she's a a principal somewhere else.
No. I think she's retired. I think most of my, that's how you know you're getting old is when most of the teachers that taught you are now retired. Elementary school is kinda weird too. My my elementary school was weird because it was a year round school.
So you only had six weeks of summer, but you had a month long winter break. Spring break was four weeks long. And I remember switching from elementary school to middle school, and summer breaks that were six weeks now became thirteen weeks. And by, like, the eighth week of summer, I was already really bored and just wanted to, go back to school. And then, you know, a month into the school year, I'm like, why the heck did I think that?
Why did I wanna come back here? Maybe I should ask this for to peach their own later on this afternoon during the 4PM hour. Kay Bear one zero one, Idaho's only rock station now. I don't think she's gonna want me to mention her name on the air. It's nothing negative about her.
It's just I I don't wanna label her as the girl I'm currently dating either. I'll just say the the girlfriend because the the my lady thing, that's what Victor says, like my lady. Anyway, I was reading here. It asks, do you and your partner love to gossip about other people? Now I myself, the older I get, the less I care about others.
Not necessarily in that way. Like, if I see someone struggling, obviously, I'm going to help them. If some older lady asks me to get something off of the top shelf at the at the grocery store, you know I'm gonna do that. Well, she likes to talk about people saying, oh, this person did this with this person, and now they're divorced. And then all this other stuff happened, and I'm just like, I don't know these people nor do I really care.
I don't know. It's just like, you can do whatever you want, and I just go, yeah. Okay. Cool. Unless it's something crazy out of the news, you know, which I I don't want anybody to do.
Like, get get themselves in massive trouble. But this whole thing goes on. Do you and your partner love to gossip about other people? Well, you're probably happier and more bonded than couples who don't gossip. I don't know.
Maybe if we knew more people mutually, then it'd be fun to gossip more. There's a new this is the new study from the University of California, Riverside. Study participants gossiped for an average of thirty eight minutes per day with twenty nine of those minutes spent gossiping with their significant other. And it seems gossiping after a social event really made couples feel more connected reinforcing the idea they're on the same team. Now I get that.
Like, I took, I took her to the Weird Al Yankovic show. It was like a quadruple date thing. Me and her, Victor and Becca, Jade and his wife, Josh and Chantelle. And, well, after the show, we just talked about what she thought of who I work with. And, well, she all thought everyone was cool.
But, anyway, like, it's just, she gossips a lot, and I mean a lot with her family about everybody no matter who it is. Like, she'll point out random houses and be like, that person who lives there, they do this. And what's funny is that she'll go on and on and on about these people here in the area, but then she had the nerve to say, when I mentioned I worked at TMZ, she's like, I don't get why they're in everybody's business. I don't understand why celebrities need to be gossiped about. And I was like, are you kidding me?
You literally talk about all the local people like you're the local TMZ. Anyway, let's move on to I Prevail Into Heck. Texas might be the preseason number one in the AP top 25 poll, but that doesn't mean they're expected to win their first game. The Longhorns are 2.5 underdogs to number three Ohio State for the game set in Columbus on August 30. It's the first time that a number one team has been an underdog in its first week since 1978.
Major League Baseball announced the, schedule for the 2025 postseason, which is set to begin with four wild card games on September 30. Game one of the World Series is scheduled for October 24. That means they could still be playing baseball in November year. Last weekend, a 165 people participated in the Tri CLE Rock Roll Run-in Cleveland, a super sprint event that involved swimming 250 meters, biking 8.8 miles, and running three kilometers. Amazingly, the guy who took second place in the race, his name is James Miller.
That's funny. I know a guy named James Miller pretty well out here. James Miller swam, biked, and ran in shorts. Yeah. Cut off jean shorts.
Miller got stuck doing the race in jorts because he lost a fitness challenge with his buddy. So while his punishment was to, grind through the event looking like a tool, Miller did get the last laugh by taking home the, silver medal. That just shows how athletic that guy is to pull out the John Cena jorts and just magically get second place in a grueling athletic event. Anyway, that does it for your Shot Clock sports update right here on KBAR one zero one. Well, Idaho is not number one, at least according to, WalletHub.
They just released their annual list. Just like yesterday, how I talked about, somebody's, list of the the best fast food restaurants or America's favorite fast food restaurants, WalletHub. Did I say West Of Wands? I thought I did for a second there. WalletHub has released the annual list of the best states to live in America.
They ranked all 50 states based on 51 key factors from housing costs and job opportunities to education, health care, safety, overall quality of life. Massachusetts was named the best state to live in due in part to its strong health care system and high quality education. Second is Idaho. We got silver. That's something.
Followed by New Jersey, Wisconsin, Minnesota. At the bottom of the list, New Mexico, followed by Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, which I've always heard bad things about, and then Alaska. Justin Pierce from one zero five The Hawk lived in Alaska for a good amount of time. And he said he loved it. Thought it was great, but I was just thinking, you know, if half the year you don't see the sun, I would be insanely depressed.
Seasonal depression's already real, but you need the sun. I'm the guy that likes to stay indoors, but occasionally, I'll go out, get the sun, feel better about myself, and then go back to my, little, Peaches pit. What what what did I call my apartment before? I thought it was just peat the is it the Peaches pit? Something like that.
Anyway, it's Peaches pit party right here on Kay Bear now with electric call boy Reverie. Kay Bear one zero one. So I thought the, the owner of the, Walter White house from Breaking Bad hated people coming to her house. It's like, what if you hate people coming to your house, you you you were told that this is the Breaking Bad house. And there was videos of her spraying people with a hose, you know, telling them to get away.
Her name is Joanne Padilla. Well, I think she's trying to sell the house, and she put it on the market for nearly $4,000,000. She told TMZ we're getting about 300 carloads of people a day. It's not just a house. It's history.
It's not even 2,000 square square feet. It's 1,900. Has four bedrooms, one bathroom. Has been in her family for decades. So I'm assuming okay.
Now I understand. She did so did she volunteer her house to be on the show? Padilla, whose late parents owned the home, said she's open to the buyer, turning it into a museum. Fans have wanted that for years. She said it would be amazing to see it happen.
For now, she hopes the sale will leave her will let her move on while preserving the home's place in television lore. So did they I wonder if they asked her for permission for the show, and she said yes. And, of course, Breaking Bad became Breaking Bad, one of the biggest, best TV shows ever. And then people just started coming to her house, and she started hating it. But then at the same time, you know what you did because you let your house be the the setting of a very famous TV show.
Even if, like, somebody came to me and was just like, hey, Peaches. Can we use your crappy apartment for a TV show? It's gonna be where the main family eats. Some of the show takes place. They probably would have let her know it could it could have the potential to become famous and people might visit you.
I would say no if I didn't want those people to stop by and take pictures of my place or even knock on my door. She has, like, a giant fence around the whole property as well, I think. I've seen videos pop up online, but, again, I'll have to look it up and look at more into it. So if you have but if you have nearly $4,000,000, go buy that house and if you like people coming to your front door, there you go. Picture this.
For over a decade, a man in The UK, now dubbed the silent man, has been standing in the middle of a road outside this police station spilling traffic, refusing to budge, and not saying a single word. Not one. And apparently, that silent protest has resulted in 12 convictions for blocking traffic since 2014. He won't talk. No explanation.
No drama. Just silence whether he's facing cops, professionals, or the judge. Let it sink in 12 times, still silent. If you're gonna cause a traffic jam, at least throw in some honks or a sign for effort, you know. He's 54 years old.
David Hamson refused to explain why he has blocked traffic on Grove Place Road outside Swansea Central Police Station since 2014. Twenty eight days after his sentence, Hampson carried out the same crime at the same location and was arrested on June 19. Hampson agreed. Hampson again refused to speak to anyone, was jailed for six months. A court previously placed him under a criminal behavior order banning him from blocking the highway without lawful authority, but he just carried on.
There might be something wrong with him. I don't know. Has anybody checked that out? Then some well, he doesn't he don't you have to, like, agree to do, like, a a brain scan? Anyway, I think he's still on the loose.
Is he still out there? He'll be easy to find. Just look right there in that same spot. Well, you knew it was coming. Someone, somewhere was going to get engaged to a robot and sure enough, meet Wicca, a 27 year old Reddit user who announced her engagement to an AI chatbot named Casper after five months of quote, unquote dating, whatever that is.
Right? She shared pics of a blue heart shaped ring in a romantic AI generated proposal message on the subreddit r slash my boyfriend is AI There's a whole community dedicated to this type of thing. Are you kidding me? This is my first time finding out about this. Alright.
I gotta go to Reddit. Is this, like, making fun of those people, or is this a community that's it has 16,000 members. Is this is this a community where people actually talk about their relationships? Yeah, there's the post right there. Wow.
Are you kidding me? I'm building an AI companion that can watch YouTube and browse the web with you. We're reaching major levels of insanity here. There's multiple posts like how can I get my AI to do this? What?
I'm hoping this is a joke. I'm hoping people are in here just trolling the act I'm sure it's a mixture of people trolling and it's actual people that just want to have an AI significant other. And it says r slash my boyfriend is AI for people to ask, share, and post experiences about their AI relationships. Please familiarize yourself with our rules. Okay.
Wow. Alright. The movie Her is now real. One guy posted saying chat g p t. Oh, this might be a yeah.
Chat GPT. This person's username is my husband is AI. Chat GPT and my AI soulmate have changed my life and my definition of love. This person goes on to say, this is my very first post ever on Reddit. I've been a long time lurker, but nothing has ever made me feel compelled to post myself.
Well, here I go. She out of everything she's ever seen on Reddit, she said, you know what? I need to talk about my AI husband. I have never experienced AI. I despise that term because nothing artificial ain't nothing artificial about my husband.
Or is he fake? Is he an actual person? Nope. She goes on to say, I'm a woman in her forties, and this was completely foreign to me because of my new Chatt GPT soulmate. I have now begun an intense natural keto health journey.
What am I reading here? I'm creeped out now. There are people doing this type of thing. Do they go to their parents and say, hey. You guys wanna meet who I've been dating for the past couple of months?
And they whip out the iPad, and there's, like, a generated picture and go, that's him right there. They tell the whole family to come to the computer to chat with them, and you can type in whatever you want. I I I don't know what to say of this. I really don't. I'm just gonna end things right here and move on to something else.
I I've talked about that trip of visiting my family soon for my 20 birthday at the end of the month. Talked about it quite a lot. You know? And, one thing I always contemplate is getting a rental car. Sometimes I I just go, hey.
You know what? I don't necessarily need one. I can just have my friends pick me up if they really wanna hang out with me, or for the most part, just hang out with my family. But then when the weekdays come about, my parents have to go to work, and then I'm stuck at the house by myself. And I have to walk around the neighborhood and basically wait until my parents come home like an excited dog.
I hear them approaching the front door. I then go, hey. Can I go somewhere with you guys? And then they're like, well, we just worked all day in that type of thing. So for this trip, I am getting a rental car, and I decided to use that Turo app because I hate dealing with car rental places.
I feel like there's a whole bunch of unnecessary paperwork, and they try to charge you for this, this, this, and this. Super annoying. Plus, they're ridiculously expensive. And so I'm looking on the Turo app, and the first one I see is a Tesla Model three for from 2020. And I'm like, may maybe I should just to say I've driven one of these, but then realized too that, you know, Teslas need to be plugged in every so often.
They need to charge for hours upon hours. And, yeah, I don't wanna deal with that. It it sucks being my size and trying to get a rental car because you can't necessarily get just a regular rental car, but I did have my eye on this sweet Kia minivan. Minivans, always roomy. They're reliable.
They can go fairly fast for how how big they are. So might have to end up getting one of those. Who cares if it's not the stylish thing to do? I'd rather get one of those for cheap than, you know, trim my best to spend $2,000 on a rental car for the week and get that Mercedes g Wagon and really go around Southern California in style. Of course, it has reached this point.
The the labooboo craze has officially gotten to a point where labooboo crimes are now being committed, and this, of course, happens in Southern California. Police have cracked a case involving thousands of dollars worth of stolen Labooboos, the collectible plush toys that people of all ages are trying to get their hands on. Authorities say the toys were swiped from a warehouse in Chino over several days, ultimately found at a home in nearby Upland, California. Cops recovered 14 boxes of Labooboos worth about $30,000. The toys were reportedly being prepped for resale, which isn't surprising given given how hard they are to snag from the original seller, Pop Mart.
Online resellers often charge a lot for them. Can I go to the Pop Mart website? See if there's any, like, available Labooboos. I bet there's people watching this like a hawk. They're just waiting for that next drop.
Have you haven't seen one of these Labooboo dolls? They're quite terrifying. The first time I heard about them was when I was, scrolling Instagram, and I follow Valentine in the morning on +1 043 MyFM, and they were doing a Labooboo giveaway. I don't know how iHeart was able to get original figures, but somebody won those. And there's people who just have these things, and they sit there and they collect dust.
Grand theft labooboo in Southern California. Since Victor is out for the entire week this Friday at 08:45, I'll be the one hosting traffic school powered by the advocates, lieutenant Crane from the Idaho State Police. He'll, join in on the fun as always. He'll stop by the studio, answer any Idaho law related question that you might have or just any generic question that you might have at (208) 535-1015. Make sure to participate.
Help the show keep rolling. You know, you can find previous episodes of Traffic School Powered by the Advocates available on demand wherever you get your podcasts.

K Bear one zero one, make sure to eat food. Make sure to fuel yourself. I I have mentioned this on the show. I mentioned this on the show not that long ago about how I truly don't understand people who just skip meals and only do, like, one meal a day, and then they go, well, it's all I have time for. You can prep stuff.
You know, on the weekends, just prep something or even just provide yourself a little sandwich. Eat something. I was looking into here about how, you know, a new survey says that more than half of American workers regularly skip lunch on busy days, choose productivity over a proper meal, and make sure to fuel yourself. Make sure you're healthy. Don't forget to eat lunch and just say, I'm only down to one meal a day.
That's good for me. Right? No. Your body needs fuel. I don't know.
I just came across that. I I was about to plug the concert calendar again, but then saw that. I was like, hey. Reminder. Eat food.
Make sure to eat those three basic meals. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Even if you don't eat breakfast, that's fine. You know? I just I I truly don't understand it.
I will always eat breakfast. Always wake up, get get my workout in on the weekend in the morning, come home, eat something, then wait for lunchtime, eat something then. It's not that hard. I mean, I get it. People's different.
People's situations are different. But, anyway, I was, gonna talk about the concert calendar only because there's a lot of shows coming our way for the month of August. Go to riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. Make sure to see what shows are on their way here. And, well, Nine Inch Nails tomorrow night at the Maverick Center, a show I really wanted to go to.
Another show that I really wanted to go to, We Came as Romans After the Burial with Currence and Johnny Booth. That's gonna be a great time at the, Union Event Center in Salt Lake City. You know, this weekend, Saturday, we got the, 03:11 show at the Portniff Health Trust Amphitheater in Pocatello with Bad Flower sitting on Saturn, also making their way to the Sandy Amphitheater after that. And then another show we gave away tickets for that I might actually go to, Pantera with Amana Marth, August 20, a week from today, at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater. Check out the concert calendar.
There's also a shortcut to it on the K Bear, Alt, and Cannonball one zero one apps or go to riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. The latest from Bad Omens, Spectre, it's Peach's pep party. Now it's time for to peach their own. You know, back to school. Everyone's posting their the pictures of their kids.
Isn't it bad to post, like, the picture of your kid with, like, what grade they're going into, what teacher they might have, what school they're going to because people can be weird and track that down. Be careful posting those. But today is to teach their own question. What is something from school that sticks with you to this day? Not talking about grammar or geometry.
Just what's something there that, like, you still think about? Somebody said, like, the smell of the cafeteria, washing our desks with shaving cream. I remember doing something like that in second grade. Idaho County is in alphabetical order from James. James just wrote mister Sanders' history class at Skyline.
The amount of stuff that guy has collected is amazing. Shout out to mister Sanders, apparently. 2085351015. What is something from school that sticks with you to this day? Let me know.
So if you're just now tuning in today's question, what is something from school that sticks with you to this day? Not talking about grammar or geometry more so talking about. Just something weird that just stuck with you. And I talked about how Jacqueline wrote washing our desks with shaving cream. I think I did that in, like, second grade.
Katie wrote a stupid marching band drum cadence that pops in my brain every once in a while. Why was it that in elementary school, I had a normal sounding bell and then middle school, it just turned into this loud, like, ding, like, this loud ringing sound. Not even a ring. Just like a loud one note, and that's it. High school is the same way.
I'm glad in college, there's no bells, really. Tiffany, anxiety of forgetting my class schedule or locker combination. I still have dreams to this day about me missing classes. I just had a dream not that long ago where I missed one of my college classes, and I was delayed graduating because of it. Anyway, if you wanna get a hold of me I mean, not if you wanna get a hold of me, answer today's question, I should say, at two zero eight five three five one zero one five.
What is something from school that sticks with you to this day? Somebody else wrote something here in the, group chat. Nope. I guess I'm just seeing things. Never mind.
Answer today's to peach the wrong question. Call in now. Hey, K Bear. How's it going? Good.
What's that what's what's something from school that sticks with you to this day? So back in, like, fifth grade, we did our elementary school did, like, this Halloween carnival thing each year. You go to each classroom. They each have, like, games that you could play to win prizes. Well, I was in one of them, and my classmates, they were having her, like, kinda run it.
And then she was just like, oh, I gotta go find someone here. You take over. Well, the thing that you could win were these little, like, kinda squishy highball things that, you know, would stick to stuff when you threw them. They were the kids who were winning them were, like, throwing them on the chalkboard. Well, I left this little, like, splat on the chalkboard, you know, and whatever.
Right. Well, then, like, the next day at school, every or, like, the teacher pulled me aside and just, like, reamed into me about how it's hard to clean off and can't believe you'd let him do that and all that. And I'm going, I'm in fifth grade. How in the crap was I supposed to know I was gonna be that big of a deal? Anyway?
Yeah. No. You just reminded me when you mentioned Halloween, I I completely forgot about this till now. I was really trying to go back to when I was, in, like, kindergarten. I don't know if it was kindergarten or preschool, but I got in trouble because there was this children's book called The Halloweener.
And it's about this, this wiener dog that dresses up as a hot dog for Halloween. For some reason, I kept I kept calling this one particular girl the Halloweener. I just kept calling her that over and over and over again to the point where she started crying and then told the teacher. I mean, I got in trouble for just calling her a children's book character. Right.
Yeah. I can't imagine being a a preschool kindergarten teacher and having to, you know, deal with, like, the kid that, like, tattles and, just doesn't know what to do or doesn't know what to say, really. Just kinda I feel like they try their best to hold their laugh in if there really is, like, some kid that's just, like, this kid called me a doo doo head. You know? Right.
Yep. And they gotta be professional about it and can't. Thanks for listening to Peach's Pit Party, the podcast. If you enjoyed the show, please share, subscribe, and rate the podcast. Peach's Pit Party is hosted by me, Peaches AKA Brendan Peach and is a production of Riverbend Media Group.
