All right, here we are. Monday, September 15th, 2025. Where is my s- uh, Musicbeds bar? Where's it at? There it is. There it is. All right. We are now officially here. It's Peaches Pit Party kicking off. If you wanna get a hold of me, you can over at 208-535-1015. It was a great weekend. Didn't really do too much. I played on my new PC, my gaming PC. Played some, uh, High Action Thrillville. I don't know if you remember that video game at all, but it's one of those like old-fashioned roller coaster tycoon type games. I remember playing it back when I was a kid. I was very excited when the, uh, second one came out, which is what I'm currently playing. I don't think the original is available on Steam, but I did find the second one, Thrillville Off the Rails, on sale for like 10 bucks. Said no problem to that, bought it. Been playing that. It's super easy. It's kinda dumb, but at the same time it's nostalgic. Played that while my lady, my girl, she, uh, scrapbooked on the, uh, the beanbag in the same room. We just kinda did that for most of the weekend and had a good time. We also hung up, uh, all the posters that were in this tote box that I had from various bands who I've seen live or met. So, we, I have this now like poster collage. Now, Command Strips, they absolutely suck. They're the worst. They used to be actually
pretty good. But now, for some reason, in recent times, their quality has gone way down. We tried our absolute best to hang up those posters with Command Strips, but they just kept falling and falling. And so we just gave up. Started put nails into the-put holes into the wall with, uh, all the nails, so that's gonna be fun once I try to move out of my apartment, to try to patch all those up. But anyway, the po- the, the poster wall got done. I'll make sure to try to get a picture of it tonight, share it in the K-Bear 101 Idaho Rock and Metal Facebook group. And I'm planning to add more. Hopefully I'll add a, uh, a poster of Hollywood Undead when I go see them September 27th. Gonna try my best to go to that show with Point North and Autumn Kings. Is it at The Complex? I believe it is at The, uh, Complex in Salt Lake. You can find that show and many others like it on our concert calendar always available to you at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. Peaches Pit Party. We'll be back here in just a few on K-Bear 101. So we are giving away passes, four-day general admission passes to the one, the only Aftershock in Sacramento, California. We have your passes, but you have to fund your trip to California yourself. We don't, we're not providing that in any way, shape, or form. We're just giving you the ability to go to the festival, which is quite cool, right? All those bands that are essentially a part of the K-Bear playlist performing live in Sacramento, California from October 2nd through the 5th. If you wanna win these four-day GA passes, you'll have to play our half-and-half game. So basically, not right now, but when we give out the cue to call, be caller 20 and then you'll play this half-and-half game where there's five seconds of audio from one song and five seconds of audio from another song. Both bands will be on the Aftershock lineup, so there's your, there's your, uh, cheat sheet almost, if you will. And you'll have to guess both, both the names of the artists and the song titles in order to win these passes. So yeah, Aftershock, Sacramento, October 2nd through the 5th. It's our halfway giveaway to Aftershock. Listen out for that cue to call right here on K-Bear 101. Dayseeker right there, Pale Moonlight, which by the way, they're opening up for In This Moment also. Funeral Portrait, also Dead gonna be on that lineup at the Mountain America Center on Friday, October 10th. We have your tickets to the show. Not only your tickets to the show, but also ... Are you ready for this? A VIP, ultimate VIP upgrade to where you can meet Maria Brink and then walk with her on stage
prior to their set. Yeah. It's the whole VIP e- experience that one lucky listener will get out of all of our ticket winners that we'll be getting this week. Listen out, by the way, for those back-to-back tracks from any one of those four bands that I just mentioned, In This Moment, Dayseeker, the Funeral Portrait, and Dead. Listen for back-to-back tracks, be caller 20, win tickets to that show, and potentially the opportunity to meet Maria, walk with her on stage, be in the moment with In This Moment. It's K-Bear 101, Peaches Pit Party. We'll be back here in just a few. Holiday travel sucks 'cause you always see the same articles every year about more and more people are trying their absolute best to battle the crowds at airports and battle traffic to get to where they need to go. Every single year around this time, I get asked, "Hey, are, are you planning on going home for Christmas?" The one year that I ended up going home for Christmas, my parents sort of hated me because, well, I un- I unwrapped my presents
bel- on Christmas morning, and then sure enough, I just had to leave all my presents there because then they had to ship them to my apartment. So I didn't really get them till like two weeks after I opened them. So it's not necessarily the best idea for me to go spend Christmas at my parents' place. Usually every year, they ship me my parents. They ... [laughs] My parents. My presents. They ship me my presents and I open them up via FaceTime, Zoom, whichever one. I'm thinking [sighs] maybe one year. I, I don't really want to do this. I feel like the once was enough
when I drove from Seal Beach, California to Idaho Falls when I first moved out here, and that drive was about 13 hours. There's no way I want to do that again. I really hate the drive to Salt Lake City and Boise, let alone trying to drive...... a- a whole full day non-stop. I mean, there's, there's some brief stops in between, but still, 13 hours is a long time. And I- I remember finally pulling up to Idaho Falls when I first moved out here, and I was shaking inside the Chili's, just because we drove for that long. Ate at Chili's that day. Uh, the reason why I'm talking about this is because, uh, I was seeing here about this whole Google Flights number cruncher article thing, where they're talking about the, uh, numbers for 2025, and pinpointed the sweet spot for scoring cheap tickets for flying home for the holidays, like, for Thanksgiving. The magic window is between 24 and 59 days before you fly with the absolute lowest prices showing up 35 days out. So, you should try to book the flight on October 23rd is what it says here. For Christmas, Google says the best deals usually pop up 32 to 73 days before departure, with the cheapest fares around 51 days. So, if you're flying out Saturday, December 20th, your best bet is to book on Halloween. So, there's that for you. In general, though, domestic flights are usually cheapest about 39 days before departure and 49 days for international travel. I'll- I'll remember that the next time I'm trying to just book a trip home overall. Anyway, here's Starset Siilos on Peaches Pit Party. It's K-Bear 101. [graphics whooshing] On Saturday, Georgia Tech upset number 12 Clemson with a 24-21 victory that featured a game-winning 55-yard fire drill field goal as, uh, time expired. That was fun, but not as much fun as, uh, as the fans in Atlanta's Bobby Dodd Stadium rushing the field to celebrate the win, and then marching goalpost through Atlanta and over to the mansion of the university president, where they threw the goalpost into his swimming pool. You could tell the Georgia Tech fans to act like you've been there, but they're not listening. WrestleMania 43 is heading to Saudi Arabia in 2027, marking the first time the event will be held outside North America. The last time WrestleMania was outside of the US was in Toronto for WrestleMania 18 back in 2002, which I- I have my own personal opinion. I don't know why they- they... I- I- I mean, I know why. The- the- it's because of the money. But they keep going to Saudi Arabia, and they continue to produce some of the worst, uh, events ever. Like, it's so stupid. They're ju... Uh, the- the WWE executives are just doing it for the money. Meanwhile, everyone just, including the wrestlers, hate Saudi Arabia, or wrestling in Saudi Arabia, and just everything that goes on over there. They'd much rather, you know, do it here in the US or maybe in, like, a place like Toronto. Back in March of 2024, former Jacksonville Jaguars employee, Amit Patel, was sentenced to prison for stealing nearly $20 million from the team and funneling it into his FanDuel account. In an effort to resolve the issue completely, FanDuel has agreed to pay back the Jacksonville Jaguars $5 million. The NFL reportedly nudged both sides to find some middle ground, with one source saying FanDuel was motivated to pay the Jaguars in the interest of being a good partner with the league. Everything is back to normal for everyone, except Patel, who's now serving his six and a half year prison sentence, and is in the middle of his own lawsuit against FanDuel, claiming they exploited his gambling addiction and ignored red flags. Anyway, that does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update, right here on K-Bear 101. [graphics whooshing] Peaches Pit Party on K-Bear 101. So, me and the lady and two of her friends went and saw The Conjuring, not last weekend, but the weekend before, I think. It was pretty recently. We saw the latest Conjuring, Conjuring 4: Last Rites. And the real-life Rhode Island farmhouse in The Conjuring is going up for auction on Halloween. It used to be a tourist attraction, but it's n- it's now in foreclosure after its owner defaulted on payments and lost her entertainment license. So, in case you're interested, it's nearly 200 years old [laughs]. It's a little over 3,000 square feet, 11 total rooms, three bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms. 11 rooms? 11 total rooms, three bedrooms, and one and a half bathrooms. Uh, what are the other rooms? Just... Never mind. It also features hardwood flooring, four fireplaces and a full unfinished basement.
You cannot pay me to spend a night there. While there's- there has been no any mention of any ghosts, demons, or other supernatural beings, it did sell for about one and a half million the last time it changed hands in 2022. So, if you have just, you know, $2 million burning in your pocket, uh, go for it. I mean, the thing is, is that it- it... You're gonna have people showing up to your place. I mean, that's the big thing, right? It- The address is, I think, public, so anybody could show up to your house, take a picture. Yeah, there it is right there. I'm- I'm looking right at the, uh, property. Yeah, that would suck. That would suck to not only live in, like, a super haunted house, but also have to deal with tourists dropping by. I mean, if you- if you buy it, you're into the movies and you're into the attention. That's without a doubt. [graphics whooshing] Lieutenant Crane stopped by on, uh, Friday. Friday midday? The middle of Friday? It might have been right after Traffic School: Powered by The Advocates. Now that I think about it, after the whole show was over, I think he... Well, I think he went back out somewhere and then came back with a whole bunch of passes to the Crazy Figure Eight Car Races happening September 27th at the Rigby Fairgrounds. If you want a family four-pack for that whole thing, probably... I- I'm assuming it's probably the last one of the year before the weather starts to get cold and we can't do that anymore till next year. If you wanna win this family... these, uh, family four-packs, sign up right now within the apps K-Bear, Alt, or Cannonball. You can sign up on all three if you really want to. We'll be drawing winners this Friday. Again, it's for the Crazy Figure Eight Car Races happening once again at the Rigby Fairgrounds, hosted by the one, the only Mad Marvin, AKA Lieutenant Crane of the Idaho State Police. It's always a fun time.If you wanna win, sign up now. [whoosh] So, I'm a little bit confused here. Now, there was a previous thing that I talked about. I don't know what it was, but it involved the, uh, software iOS 26, which is what Apple just put out. So, you can update your iPhone from iPhone 11 to, uh, whatever the current one is now. You can update your iPhone to iOS 26. And I thought for some reason, like... Whatever happened to iOS 19, 20, 21, 22? I looked at my phone, iOS 18.7 is what I should have updated to be the latest software, but then it says, "Oh, you can also upgrade to iOS 26." Like, what happened to the rest? Was there no- Why... Let me Google Search this real quick. Why did Apple jump from iO- so I'm not the only one who Google Searched this. Okay. "Apple jumped from iOS 18 to iOS 26 to unify its operating system naming, aligning all operating systems with the year of their primary release period. The 26 signifies that the operating system is for the 2025-2026 release cycle, which begins in '25 and continues through most..." Okay. Okay, so that makes sense. iOS 26. I thought for some reason they just jumped the numbers for no reason. 'Cause, you know, the iPhone. I'm a loyal fan of the iPhone. I don't understand the whole Android supremacy. You know, there's a lot of people out there that speak about their Android the same way Dr. Pepper drinkers speak about their favorite soda. You'll never meet somebody who says, "Oh, my favorite soda is Fanta cr- Fanta Orange, all the rest of you suck." [laughs] Like, you always meet an Android u- user that's just like, "Oh, I'm superior 'cause I have an Android." Like, I'm loyal to the iPhone. I'll always stick to it, but it has gone downhill, in my honest opinion. Will I ever go to the Android? Absolutely not. But iOS 26, I'm looking at it here, it's nearly 6 gigabytes. And it p- says, "It brings a new design, intelligent experiences and improvements to the apps you rely on every day. The new design with Liquid Glass brings a more expressive and seamless experience." It kinda feels like it's more... More of a thing for the iOS 7, not i- o- iOS, iPhone 17. Like, I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max. I feel like if I upgrade to iOS 26, then all of a sudden my iPhone battery starts dying a whole lot faster, my phone starts breaking. That's how they get you. They want you to upgrade to the latest one, and
I might do that anyway, just because my iPhone 14 is now three generations behind. I can't imagine trying to own an iPhone 11 and upgrading to iOS 26, and just completely ruining your old- old... But that- if you have an iPhone 11, please get an upgrade. All right? Get a better phone.
Well, earlier today, I was, uh, chatting with Victor, and he told me that there's a mistake in the Aftershock promo that I took forever to make. The halfway giveaway to Aftershock. In the promo, our vo- our voice guy, Brian, says, "We- we- we mash together five seconds of one band's song with another five seconds of another band's song. You have to name both bands." Didn't say anything about naming the songs, which, naming the bands is quite easy. So, the whole point of the giveaway is to name the two mashed up songs with the bands' name as well in order to win the Aftershock passes. Now, the halfway giveaway. Again, I want to clarify, because I cannot stress this enough. If you win these Aftershock passes, you have to fund your own trip to Sacramento [laughs], all right? Last thing I want is somebody to win and then they go, "Okay, so how do I get over there? Oh, I don't win that? Never mind, I can't make it." And then next thing you know, I have to do the giveaway again or something like that, you know? And you think me talking about it quite a lot would change things, but there is one giveaway, one break where we, me and Victor, literally talked about right then and there like, "Hey, you have to make it to the show tonight if you can call in." And sure enough, people called in. The first guy we got, "Oh, I have to be there tonight? Never mind." [Laughs] And then hung the phone up [laughs]. That's why I cannot stress this enough, I cannot repeat this enough. Aftershock. You have to make your way over to Sacramento. We just get you into the awesome festival. And I was looking at the lineup. The lineup is insane. Basically every band that you've potentially ever wanted to see is going to be at Aftershock, October 2nd through the 5th. I mean, you got the big ones like Blink-182, Deftones, Korn, Bring Me The Horizon, Good Charlotte, A Perfect Circle, Bad Omens, Rob Zombie, Acid Bath, Dream Theater. The list goes on. Then you see the openers as well, like Black Veil Brides, Mudvayne, In This Moment, Dayseeker. It keeps on going and going and going, and we want you to go there. We want people to experience this festival and just say, "Hey, I've seen all those bands live. It was awesome." So, the halfway giveaway to Aftershock. We'll play that game sometime... Well, we'll play it a couple times this week. Just gotta listen out for that cue to call for the half-and-half game, get those songs correct, and win your way into Aftershock. Let's go with some Jerry Cantrell now, I Want Blood, on K-Bear 101. [whoosh] Very excited for yet another show. It's been a minute. It's been a long while. What was the- what was the last show at the Mountain America Center? What was the last concert? I can't remember. Maybe it was Seether? Was it Sea- Yeah, it was Seether. That was a- that was a okay one. I'm excited for Chevelle, Asking Alexandria, Dead Poets Society, coming up in, actually, 15 days, as a matter of fact. Time has flown by [laughs]. Summer has flown by. I'm very excited for that concert. And then shortly after that, like...How many days after the 30th
is September 10th? Wow, that's actually pretty fast. So we'll get two shows pretty close to one another. First, Chevelle Askin to Alexandria, Dead Poets Society, and then on October 10th, in this moment, Dayseeker, the Funeral Portrait, and Dead at the Mountain America Center. And if you want tickets to that show, we got 'em. Listen for back-to-back tracks. Did that, uh, a couple of times this afternoon show today. Victor will do one tomorrow, I think. I think he'll play some back-to-back tracks. And every ticket winner for this giveaway is entered into that drawing for the ultimate VIP upgrade. A chance to meet Maria, talk with her, and then walk with her on stage prior to their set. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Be in the moment with In This Moment with K-Bear 101. Make sure to listen for those back-to-back tracks and try your best to win. [whoosh] All right, this is a perfect To Peach The Throne question. Maybe I'll ask this one tomorrow, even though I feel like I'll probably get the same answers.
Like, Sleep Token, Ghost, et cetera. You know what I'm talking about? Like what... Like, they're a band I could never get into. I just ca- I just can't do it.
And I'm, I'm, I'm seeing here an r/MetalSuggestions on Reddit. What's a band you could never get into but you want to like?
The replies for this th- this thread will suggest songs to get you into them. And I was trying to think of what band would that be. Like, what band do I really wish I just really liked?
And I, I immediately thought of... Well, this is probably gonna make some people mad, but I'm gonna say it. I'm just gonna say it. Gojira, for the longest time, I just didn't really care for. I thought it just sounded generic. It sounded okay. Amazonia got really annoying when we played that quite a lot and he- kept hearing that boing, boing, boing, boing. But then it changed co- somewhat when I saw them perform at the Olympics. Like, I just watched them on TV. I didn't see them actually there in Paris, but
I did enjoy their live performance. And so I was kinda like, "Maybe I should listen to some of their stuff." But then I tried to, and I don't think I got too far. I think I was like, "Okay, yep. Same old, [laughs] same old Gojira," you know? And I'm scrolling down this list here. And somebody said the Devin Townsend project slash Strapping Young Lad. I, I personally love Devin Townsend's, uh, solo work. Love his song, Kingdom, which somebody did suggest to this person. What else is on this list? Anthrax, I don't really know why. It's not The Voice, which is the usual turnoff for me with the bands I don't get into. Anthrax is okay to me. Uh... Oh, I did see Gojira on here. Perfect, so I'm not the only one. Awesome. [laughs] What else is there? Machine Head, not really into them all that much. Oh yeah, okay, here's another one that Victor's really into, but I'm just like, "Eh." Opeth. No, thanks [laughs], you know? This, this will make a great To Peach The Throne question. I'll mark this one down for tomorrow. What's a band you could never get into but you want to like? [whoosh] All right, so authorities in Oregon say they've arrested a man who was secretly living in a crawl space beneath a condo complex where he wasn't even a resident. His name's Benjamin Bucur, Buck-er. He was arrested on burglary and drug possessing charges. It all started when a witness spotted, uh, Bucur... I don't know how you say his last name. It's B-U-C-U-R. Heading toward the back of one of the buildings, moments later, they noticed the crawlspace door was open. Light was coming from inside, and then the door mysteriously shut. So when deputies arrived, they found the door locked and damaged. The property owner confirmed no one should have been down there, though they had heard strange noises. I did find out myself that there's a crawlspace below my apartment, and I jokingly wanted to go down there and just start tapping below my, my neighbor's f- my neighbor's floor just to drive her nuts. But then I realized my next-door neighbor is the best next-door neighbor you could ask for. I feel bad. She's this older woman, and she's real quiet, minds her own business. She decorates her front door with things like happy summer and things like that, and I think that's awesome. I love when people are into the whole festive thing. And she also, during the wintertime, shovels the snow for the entire building. Yeah, herself, an older woman. She's... She has to be at least like in her 60s. I'm gonna say that because I don't want her to actually be... And somehow she's listening right now and she's like, "I'm actually 86, and he thought I looked 60." That type of thing. She's an awesome, awesome next-door neighbor. Really, she's quiet, like I mentioned, and she... I, I can't believe she shovels the snow. And she usually does it when I'm busy heading to work, too. So, like, I can't go help her. But shout out to her. If I had a worse next-door neighbor, I would totally do something like go into the crawlspace and mess with my neighbor. [whoosh] I immediately saw Orange County, California on this story and thought, "Hmm, maybe I know this person." I don't think I do. 62-year-old Laura Lee Ureks, she pulled off a stunt by signing up her dog, Maya Jean Ureks. You can tell she's a crazed dog lady because she gave her dog a middle name. Maya Jean Ureks. She signed up her dog as a voter. Yeah, this California woman could be looking at six years in prison for allegedly registering her dog to vote and casting mail-in ballots in two elections. One of those ballots was actually counted in the 2021 Goober National... Is that G- Is that really how you say that word, Goober National? I like that. Just the word goober is funny, funny to me. Goober National Recall Election. The other in the 2022 primary, was ej- was, uh, rejected. The Orange County District Attorney's Office says Ureks is now facing five felony charges, including perjury and submitting false documents. It all came to light when she reportedly told election officials in 2024 to 2024... 2024 that she [laughs] had registered her dog to vote, which then triggered an investigation. Why would you say that out of all things?She also didn't do a very good job of keeping it a secret. In fact, she even posted a photo of her dog on social media wearing an "I Voted" sticker next to a ballot. [laughs] So, it's not allegedly, she did it, 100%. You know what? A lot of people are so quick to criticize things, and I for one thought Yungblud, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry did a great job with that whole tribute to Ozzy last week at the MTV Video Music Awards. Not like those awards shows really mean anything, but it was cool to see rock highlighted. For the most part, rock just gets put to the side. They had Tate McRae at that same show performing. I didn't even know who Tate McRae was till, uh, my girlfriend had to explain it to me who she actually is, and I see live footage of... But you know how your phone listens to you? You know how when you say, like, a certain artist or a certain thing right by your phone, magically those things start popping up? Magically, after me and my girlfriend had a whole conversation about Tate McRae, her live performance footage started popping up as shorts on my Instagram, Facebook, everything. And she doesn't even sing during her concerts. She just dances around. She's a, supposedly a good dancer. I don't know. I can't tell you good dancing from bad dancing. I can tell you bad dancing, actually, because it's what I do, if I ever decide to do it. But I was laughing at this, uh... The reason why I'm talking about this is because I looked at the, uh, the radio prep here, and it says, "Tyler Perry and Yungblud studio collaboration." And I went, "Tyler Perry, out of all people? Madea? That guy?" [laughs] But then, it's helpful to have commas. "Tyler, Perry and Yungblud studio collaboration." Uh, W- What are they recording together? All three have posted on Instagram a snippet of themselves in the studio recording what they are calling My Only Angel.
Yungblud also posted a video of him and Tyler embracing, with Tyler saying, "We got a secret." So, a mix of the old and the new right there. Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Yungblud, working on a track together. You know, it's been kind of weird with collaborations as of late. Sabaton doing a collab with Johnny Hawkins of Nothing More. Typical Sabaton sound, but then Johnny out of nowhere with his signature vocals. It was pretty funny. Uh, speaking of Sabaton, they just announced a tour. If you're into that sort of thing, if you're into them, Sabaton, Pop Evil, believe one other band on that line-up, it's on our concert calendar. They're gonna be in Salt Lake at the, the Union on February 24th. So, if you want a plan for next year, it's on our concert calendar, riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar.
