And we are here Pre-Friday, AKA Thursday, October 16th, 2025. It's Peaches Pit Party right here on KBAR 101. I've been listening to nonstop, uh, just extreme metal tracks 'cause we're getting ready to add a whole bunch more, uh, songs to Jank Show, which happens, by the way, Saturday nights, 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM. Adding some, uh, what do we got here? Cryptopsy, Resistor, Igore, New Testament. A band called Big Bleep Truck. Yeah, there's that too. If you wanna get a hold of me, you can over at 208-535-1015. I have to go through every single one of these songs and make sure there's no naughty language, you know? Sometimes bands are nice enough to put out the radio edit, but then still,

I will listen to the entire thing 'cause you never know what can happen. There was one time

I was sent the new song, I was sent some sort of song from the Butcher Babies. And it said radio edit, but I still listened to it. Sure enough, the first five F-bombs were censored, but then all of a sudden it just stopped being the clean version halfway through, and then there was all the rest of the F-bombs. And I talked to Heidi from Butcher Babies shortly after then and said, "Hey, you know that radio edit that you sent out? It's got some naughty language on there still. What are you doing?" [laughs] All of my interviews, by the way, can be found via the Artist Interrogations podcast, wherever you get your podcasts. Me talking with a wide variety of artists like Heidi from Butcher Babies, uh, Jolly from Bad Omens, Chris Motionless of Motionless in White. The list goes on. And Peaches Pit Party will continue here in just a few on KBAR 101. My back is definitely healing. Feeling a whole lot better compared to a week ago. Last Thursday it was awful. Awful. And through tons of, uh, time with the heat pad, tons of ibuprofen, uh, a couple chiropractor visits, it's finally feeling a lot better. I'm kinda tired of standing up, uh, looking like an obtuse angle. My right hip just goes out a little bit. It's not as bad as it was last week, but it's still not 100%. At least my back didn't break [laughs]. I was reading about this story, I was reading this story about this bride's mom was hospitalized after a freak cow accident at, uh, at her daughter's wedding. She said she felt her entire spine just crack. Yeah. The- the mother of the bride claims a cow jumped on her back at the reception. Where were they hav- oh, they, they had it in Wisconsin. I was about to ask, where, where on earth were they having this wedding? Just on some random farm somewhere where the cows are just loose? And also during the reception, wouldn't you kind of, I don't know, be aware there's a cow behind you? Or did the cow charge her just out of nowhere, like specifically her? So many questions. Was everybody just celebrating and this cow was like, "You know what, I'ma take this lady out." Just ran up to her, broke her back. At least she's alive. That's the good part. Oh wait, here we go. Guests were enc- uh, oh, here we go. Guests were encouraged to take photos with the cattle, so the mom did just that, but her cute photo opportunity quickly turned into a nightmare is what People Magazine wrote. She says, "I just squatted down to give one a little kiss on the nose and to take a picture, and within like a second all, all of a sudden, the cow had jumped up and put his hooves on my shoulders." Yikes. Yikes. Well, she's alive, thankfully. I'd rather have my back issues than have my entire spine just completely broken in half. I'm hoping this lady eats a lot of burgers as revenge. You know what's crazy? I just saw the news that over 50% of the internet is now AI slop. Can you believe that? Somebody researched it all and said, "Yeah, over half the things online

are now all AI generated." And ChatGPT launched in November of 2022, tons of people on Facebook have been sharing AI generated crap. I myself posted the one video, the one video of me dressing up as Peach Man at Peach Fest. I think somebody even commented saying, "Where is that?" It's entirely fake. I wish Peach Fest was real. I'm sure there's something called, uh, uh, something similarly called that maybe in Georgia, 'cause, you know, that- that's the peach state. I know there's the Brigham City Peach Days that I have still, I still need to go to. There was one time I went to Winco and they had peach everything. They had like peach plates, peach bowls, peach cups. I don't know why. It was just that one time four years ago and I bought every single one of them, and they're now a part of my, uh, peach collection. I think that's what sparked my peach collection. My parents have cabinets full of peach stuff. I need to keep that tradition going. I used to have a bath mat that says, "Peachy Clean," on it.

So yeah, there's that, there's all that. I think, uh, Aubrey saw a whole peach vase looking thing at, uh, at DI, so she got me that for a buck 50. Anything peach, anything peach whatsoever, I enjoy. Uh, I have these kitchen towels that say, "I love you," to Peaches. Silly stuff, I know. Milwaukee Bucks fans have, uh, worried about Giannis Antetokounmpo getting traded to another team while his value is at its peak. And now they have to worry about him heading back to Greece before his playing career is over. In an appearance on a Greek talk show...Yannis said, "I'm 30 years old. I can play in the NBA until I'm 36, 38 maybe. I would like to end my career in a Greek team. Why not? I don't want to live in the United States. As soon as I leave the NBA, I want to return to Greece," is what he said. The Los Angeles Dodgers, uh, sprinted out to a, uh, 2 and 0 lead in the NLCS over the Milwaukee Brewers. And that came even though one player's family wanted to get away from ghosts. The... Is this called the Pfister Hotel? P-F-I-S-T-E-R. Do they try saying it's Fister? Maybe it is Fister. The Pfister Hotel. Oh, man, that would suck. The Pfister Hotel is legendary for having ghosts that haunt the rooms of, uh, visiting players. Dodgers' outfielder Tioscar Hernan- How do you say his name? Tioscar... Wait, Tioscar... Tioscar Hernandez, he told reporters, "I don't believe in ghosts. I have stayed in there before. I've never seen anything or heard anything. But my wife, Jennifer, is on this trip, and she said she doesn't want to stay there whatsoever, [laughs] so we had to find another hotel." Hernandez added, "I've been, uh, hearing from other players and other wives that it's something happening in these, uh, couple of nights." ESPN and Amazon football analyst Kirk H- Herbstreet, Kirk Herbstritt, is one of the busiest sports broadcasters each fall as he works Thursday Night Football, hosts College GameDay on Saturday mornings, and calls the biggest college football game of the week on Saturday afternoon or night for ESPN. And all that travel leaves him a, a b- a bit disoriented. Herbstritt was recently asked, asked how often he wakes up in the middle of the night and doesn't know what city he's in. He says, "It happens quite often. I think the hardest thing is if you said, 'Where were you last week?' That's the hardest thing to know. I know where I am right now, and I know where I'm going this week. But other than that, I don't know a whole lot." So I basically... Uh, basically, he can just relate to every touring artist or band out there. That does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on KBAR 101. I debating sharing what I shared on my Facebook at Brendan Peach. I, uh, basically... Well, somebody made an image that just said, "Hey, don't be mean to teenagers." Overall, it said, "Don't be mean to teenagers who are just trying to trick-or-treat." You'd rather have them innocently celebrating the holiday rather than partying, right? It says, "Halloween reminder. Teenagers who seem too old to trick-or-treat, choose, uh, they chose childhood over partying. Be, be happy and hand over the Reese's." And I, I k-... Uh, I say this every year. Please do not be that person that says, "Aren't you a little old to trick-or-treat?" It may sound funny to, to some, but I was always the bigger kid. I mean, I was 5'8" at 10 years old, right? I was larger than all my classmates growing up. And every single year, starting from like seven to, I don't know, when I stopped trick-or-treating, I would get asked that question by some old boomer. "Aren't you a little old to be trick-or-treating?" And then my mom would have to butt in and say, "No, he's not. He's eight," type of thing. It sounds silly, right? But I mean, that could be detrimental to some kid who is just trying to celebrate the holiday, you know, with some other kids who are much, much shorter and look much younger. And still, why is there an age limit on trick-or-treating?

Why can't I just go out and trick-or-treat? If I'm in a costume and I have a bucket and I show up on Halloween night and say, "Trick-or-treat," can that be an experiment we do? I feel like I might be forced to do something like that. Put on my best costume Halloween night, go around maybe Idaho Falls. I, I should test it out in all the different cities. No, I don't think there'd be enough time for me to do so. But maybe if I were to go around Idaho Falls saying, "Trick-or-treat," and maybe have like a little hidden GoPro on me, some... I wish I had those, uh, Ray-Ban meta glasses that I could use to record 'cause then I could put on the Howard Stern costume even though he doesn't have a beard. I'm not gonna shave off my beard for a costume either. But maybe... Hmm. Maybe I could just put on the Howard Stern wig that I have, the glasses, the outfit, and such, and just go around town and trick-or-treat. See how many people ask me that dumb question. [laughs] Who cares if I'm nearly 30 and just want some candy, okay? "Hand over the Reese's," as this, uh, picture says here. Let's talk some more about, uh, Halloween candy 'cause it pops up every year as well. Those stupid memes about, uh, like, hey, if you like ti-... If you, if you like, uh, candy corn, you'll like eating crayons as well. I don't mind candy corn. I think circus peanuts are really bad. I also think... You know what really does suck? Those stupid wax bottles. My, my dumb butt tried eating one of those whole bottles in my mouth. And I'm like, "Why is it still so chewy?" Oh, it's wax. You're supposed to just have the liquid from inside the bottle and then throw away the rest. [laughs] Yeah, genius of the day. By the way, you can hear that segment every weekday morning 6:45, or some weekday mornings at 6:45 on the Victor Wiltz Show. I was looking at this map. Now, I don't know how credible this map is. You never really know. And it's just, it's just dumb radio things to talk about. Wh- where trick-or-treaters are most likely to get candy corn. And there's a state-by-state map of which... Uh, whatever state you're in... Let's see here. What state is number one when it comes to most likely to get candy corn? Mississippi. Every time, every time Mississippi is in the news, it's never good. They're number one for car accidents. Uh...They're number one for crime, for the most part. [laughs] I've noticed quite a lot of bad things about Mississippi, hence why a giant house down there is like 20 grand. They'll pretty much pay you for a house in Mississippi. What state is this below South Dakota? Do I really need to pull up a m- another map with the state names on it? Am I that bad at geography? USA Map, just give me the, uh, state-by-state one. Nebraska. Nebraska's that high on the map? Okay. Yeah, I guess I am that bad at geography. They're number two

when it comes to most likely to get candy corn. Idaho is number 38, so we're kind of... We're, we're kind of decent, I would think. California, 44. Texas, 32. Iowa's number four. Where's number three at? Kentucky, most likely to get candy corn. I don't... I don't mind candy corn. Really, I don't. Uh, oh, wow. This, this article really goes in depth about Halloween candy odds, like where you're most likely to get a Reese's, where you're most likely to get peanut M&M'S. The list goes on. Toothbrushes. You know what? Now that I'm older, I wouldn't mind getting a toothbrush. If I got multiple toothbrushes on Halloween, I would just save them up, you know? Have some backups. It doesn't hurt to have those, right? [swoosh sound] Now, I don't know if this is true or not. I've been told this, I think, by my parents growing up,

that if, uh, if you own a black cat, around... Oh, I mean, if you have a black cat around this time of year, make sure to keep them inside

because of, uh, weird rituals that people do, and I don't know if I believe that or not. Do people actually do that type of thing, or is it an urban legend that people see a black cat closer to Halloween and be like, "All right. We're taking this one. We're gonna do some sort of ritual with this thing." [laughs] Luckily, somebody commented on this thread saying, "It's been an urban legend where I lived that adoption agencies wouldn't let anyone adopt a black cat in October for the reason of the whole ritual thing. I've never bothered to check if it's true." And then someone said, "I always assumed it was more people who like Halloween might get excited about having a black cat, and they realize they don't actually want a cat, and then return it to the shelter." Which, I mean, anybody who does that really does suck, especially those that gift puppies towards, uh, Christmas time. And then the puppy grows... grows up, you know? And then family's like, "We don't want him anymore. He's not cute." Imagine if you did that with your kid. "Oh, we don't like the kid anymore." G- Actually, there are people out there who have done that type of thing, too. I shouldn't... I shouldn't joke about that whatsoever. I guess, uh, for this one particular thing that I'm looking at, this, uh, this one town banned black cat adoptions over fear of Halloween rituals, and people were just discussing that whole subject matter. I'll have to ask Victor, see what he thinks about that when he comes in tomorrow. Let's go into some, uh, I Prevail on K-Bear 101. [swoosh sound] I'm extremely glad to see that a lot of people right now are quitting Spotify, just because Spotify is allowing a lot of different, uh, things politically. And then also, um, there's been an influx of AI artists popping up on Spotify. And the lead singer of Holding Absence, I believe his name is Lucas Woodland, I think that's how you... I think that's his last name, um, he went on to Twitter, or X as you call it now, and said, "There was an AI-generated band that was modeled after us that now has double the monthly listeners than Holding Absence," and they got that within like two months. Isn't that absurd? I forgot exactly what the band's name is called, and I wouldn't necessarily want to share it on the air because I don't wanna surpr- like give them the spotlight, but Holding Absence has been a band for quite some time and they're awesome. All right. The... I played a couple of their tracks, um, previously. I think there was one recently. I'm trying to figure... figure out what the song was called, but that's besides the point. Um, there are a lot of AI artists, all of a sudden, just popping up specifically on Spotify. And I see people like Rory Rodriguez of Dayseeker, Leigh Jennings of The Funeral Portrait, so many other artists, uh, from Ashes To New, taking stands against AI generated bands. And it's quite sad to see that these AI artists are just successful right now, 'cause there are... Uh, there, there are a lot of people out there that just listen to it and they like the sound of it. There was one making the rounds on TikTok. People were like, "Oh, what band is this?" And then they found out it was AI generated and quickly shut that down, luckily. Luckily, they did, but that band sounded awesome. Yeah, it's... You wanna listen to real people and not artificial intelligence, like this band right here. This band's been around for quite some time and I think they're awesome. Turnstile, Never Enough, on K-Bear 101. [swoosh sound] I've finally finished getting all of these tracks in the Jank Show library. If you're not familiar with Jank Show, if you're a newer listener, Saturday nights from 10 PM to 2 AM, we really amp things up around here and just go four hours of nothing but extreme metal, and it's a whole lotta fun. We added some more, uh, Cryptopsy, Kublai Khan. What else is on this list here? I mean, there's a ton of n- newer bands, bands I haven't even heard of as well. Um, also got bands like Igor on there, uh, Heavy Hitter, uh, Drain, Biohazard, Revocation.... New Testament as well. We really amp it up, and we're not joking. So Saturday nights, if you really wanna party hard, 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM is JENK Show. For the most part, it's hosted by our one, the only Victor Wilt. And I always try my best to keep the, uh, library as updated as possible. I've been, uh, secretly adding tracks for the past couple of months. Um, and then now, here's one of the biggest updates we have done in quite some time. And I'm really looking forward to the feedback on that. If you like it, if you don't like it, let us know. You can always hit us up at 208-535-1015. Hit us up on social media @KBear101FM. Again, JENK Show, Saturday nights, 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM. Stay up late for it. It's worth it. All right, I know Victor talked about this this morning, but I saw it and had to put my two cents in on it as well. On AskReddit, someone asked the question, "People born before 2000, what trivial skill do you have that no one uses anymore?" I was born in 1996. I know, such a baby. Every single time I say that, someone says, "You're so young. You're, you're, you're just so young. I'm 75." Like, okay, cool for, good for you. I'm happy for you. But let's see here. "People bor- born before 2000, what trivial skill do you have that no one uses anymore?" Uh, my brain still has about a dozen landline numbers from 1998 locked and loaded. Completely useless information taking up the space where I'm supposed to remember why I walked into this room. Uh, I have some of my friends' numbers, uh, memorized. I just memorized my girlfriend's number, just in case all of a sudden I collapse to the floor and I need a... Actually, you know what? I can just type in her name 'cause I was about to say, unless I need to remember her number, like go to a payphone, but those don't [laughs] exist really. Uh, cleaning mouse balls when the mouse gets slow and sticky. I don't have those really anymore. Um, I can make a book cover out of a brown paper bag to protect a textbook. That was one of the most unnecessary things in school ever. I remember like sixth through eighth grade, if you didn't have your textbooks covered, they almost shot you. Like, that's how bad it was. Like, my, my teachers were handing out detentions if you didn't have that stupid brown bag on top of the textbook. What do they do now? Do they have everything electronically? Is that what it is? Do the... I feel like such an old man saying that. Where's my, uh, where's my old car horn? There it is.

[horn blaring]

Rolling up to school, blasting that.

[horn blaring].

"Everyone talking about reading a map is correct, but folding the map back is the real talent." Uh, uh, I'm so glad we have GPS. I'm so glad we no longer have to use MapQuest even. Like, MapQuest sucked back in the day. Trying to get to people's houses using these pieces of paper that my mom printed out. I would be told to be quiet in the backseat, because they were trying to focus on what street to turn on and all of that. Another, uh, answer here, "For people born before 2000, what skill do you have?" Or what, what was it again? It's, uh, "What trivial skill do you have that no one else uses anymore?" I was trying not to lose my, uh, thing here on the page. "I had a professor in college show us how to fold a newspaper so you can read it on the subway one-handed." Do they even still make the newspaper anymore, or does everyone like kind of use the newspaper to wrap gifts in or things like that? I don't know. Daughtry here, the bottom on KBear101. All right, so today there's two really crazy news stories. One of them is a missing piece of NASA equipment crash landed on this Texas woman's property. There's that story that we'll get to in just a, uh, few more minutes here. I wanted to talk about this Florida man that was arrested for a drive-by attack involving a cheeseburger. A former strip club employee in Tampa was arrested last week for a drive-by attack, not with a gun, but with that cheeseburger. He's 26 years old. Jordan Kato pulled up outside the Atlantis Gentlemen's Club hoping to speak with management, but things quickly escalated into a heated argument. That's when investigators say he reached down, grab a cheeseburger, grabbed that cheeseburger, and hurled it at the man, hitting him on the shoulder. Obviously, the victim wasn't hurt at all. Oh, it does say the victim wa- wasn't seriously hurt, but the beefy projectile did cause what police described as bodily harm. Oh, what do you mean? Like a slight bruise? Not even that. Just a bit of tomato on this guy's shoulder. When questioned, you know, Jordan Kato reportedly admitted to the burger, uh, the burger toss and showed, uh, zero remorse. In fact, he told officers he'd do it again [laughs]. Well, obviously, he was arrested. No gun, just bun, in today's What the Headline, right here on KBear101. So, this woman in West Texas, she got quite the surprise. She looked up, saw a massive parachute drifting through the sky, ultimately crashed landing on her property. She thought the object that landed was a weather balloon and called the sheriff's office. Little did she know that the sheriff was already aware of something falling out of the sky because he had received a call from NASA asking if he had located a piece of equipment that they had lost. Turns out, the equipment had been launched from, uh, Fort Sumner, New Mexico by, uh, NASA's, uh, Columbia Scientific Balloon Team. It was part of an experiment to improve telescope accuracy, but strong winds blown it off the course. It blown it far off course. Uh, she was so intrigued, she called her job to ask if she could come in late. They said yes. She got to witness the retrieval of some high-tech gear first hand. She later shared the experience on Facebook, calling it a once-in-a-lifetime moment. That would be cool. That would be pretty awesome. I thought this was gonna be like something just crashed and landed on her front yard and she was trying to claim it was from NASA. You ever see those like fake stories online? I forgot. Oh yeah, that's what the subreddit's called. I've talked about this particular subreddit before. It's called Untrustworthy Pop-Tart. It's where people claim like certain things are in their drinks or food. Like, "Oh, how did a dead frog get in my ice cream?" And sure enough, they'll, their, their story ends up on Untrustworthy Pop-Tart, which you don't necessarily know if it's true or not.I mean, what if there was somehow a dead frog inside this container, this [laughs] half-gallon of mint chocolate chip, just some frog in there? Somehow that got through? Somebody bought that? What's the... What are the odds of something like that happening to you? I don't wanna d- uh, Google specifically that. W- what are the odds that you find something horrendous in your food? Is there anything at all? No? Nothing? All right. Let's move on to some K-Bear rocking Halloween music haunted by Juicy Vapor Arctic Monkeys here is Pretty Visitors.

[screen whooshing]

I feel like October has gone by extremely slow. It's only the 16th. I don't know if it has something to do with seeing Christmas and Thanksgiving stuff, mostly Christmas, all around Walmart and such, that I'm thinking it's like way far ahead. But no, we're not even to Halloween yet. I don't even know what my plans are going to be for, for Halloween. I know I gotta work that day 'cause it's on a Friday, 8:00 to 5:00, like usual. Same old stuff, you know? Halloween, usually pretty boring when you're an adult. I did share that whole giant thing on Facebook talking about, you know, don't be that person that says, "Aren't you a little too old to be trick-or-treating?" For some reason, people laugh, reacted to that particular s- post that I made, and it wasn't meant to be funny.

I don't know if they were just like laughing at what I said, or if they were just thinking that the joke is funny and they didn't see my caption. I don't know. But don't be a jerk this Halloween. Really, hand out the candy no matter who, to who, no matter who's at your front door, hand them the candy.
