All righty. It's the start of a new week. I am Peaches. If you wanna get ahold of me, you can over at 208-535-1015. Today is Monday, November 17th, 2025. Now, I saw this pop up this morning. GameStop apparently does a thing called Trade Anything Day. It's coming up soon. They accept most things, but sorry to those that wanted to trade in, like, maybe a dead animal or some illegal drugs. They're not taking that, okay? The fine print for the December 6th event states that people can only bring in for trade items that fit into GameStop's own 20x20x20 box and that employees have discretion to reject any item. So, you could... I could make some jokes here about some things you could bring in, but I don't wanna get a jade- a JPA, a jade pucker alert.
In terms of the specific exclusions, GameStop said people cannot bring hazardous waste, weapons, dead or alive animals, although
taxidermy is okay. All right? So, if you wanna bring in that, uh, that moose head, try to trade that in for a potentially... A, a, uh, pre-owned copy of Cyberpunk 2077, go for it. They won't take alcohol, tobacco, drugs, illegal or otherwise. Oh, nevermind. I see. Right. I was about to make a joke about something, but yeah, it says they're not taking any explicit items, if you catch my drift, or items resembling body parts, I should say. If you wanted to ac- actually take a look at the full list of exclusions, it's available on GameStop's website. Should we pull it up here real quick? Oh, it took me to just- to just the- the general overall website. It didn't take me to the list. I don't wanna dig for it, but anyway, Peaches Pit Party will be back here in just a few. Happy Monday. It's K-Bear 101. We've talked about Eddie Trunk quite a lot on the air, and he posted something earlier today that I wanted to discuss. He said, "Today, Foreigner and Lynyrd Skynyrd announced a co-headlining tour." Assuming Lou Gramm, the, you know, the original lead singer of Foreigner, doesn't do these dates, pretty sure this will be the first tour where... Or ever, where neither headline band has any original members. Eddie Trunk further goes on to say, "Which supports my brand over band theory and how no band will ever have to end if people don't care who is or isn't in the lineup. Not being critical here, more an observation on where classic rock is today and its ability to be sold. I think fans should care about who is or isn't in a band and what they are actually seeing and hearing, but from a business standpoint, interesting." Now, I think Lynyrd Skynyrd potentially should have stopped when most of the members died in a plane crash, right? Am I the only one here that says that? Foreigner... I- I- I... The thing is about classic rock is that we're- we're getting further and further away from the years they were in their prime, and
they're- they're dropping dead, you know? Not to be morbid or anything, but they're old now. Any single time that I make an update to the Cannonball 101 Facebook page, it's somebody from that playlist dying, you know? Whether it's a minor member of some band or it's, like, the- a major singer, the- the chances are they're gonna be dying soon. Classic rock is in the past, right? There are plenty of bands now that are taking the spotlight. I- I could dive deep into this, but no- the old people, I don't really think care all that much, like what he's trying to say here, too. They just wanna say, "Hey, I wanna see Lynyrd Skynyrd songs, Foreigner songs performed by some people who can do it." I don't know. Like, I- I personally would not go to this show.
It seems kinda dumb to go see Lynyrd Skynyrd made up of entirely other people. Foreigner, the same thing. I didn't care for Journey getting announced for the Eastern Idaho State Fair because they don't have Steve Perry. Like, that's just one member. I believe they still have their legendary guitar player, Neal Schon. I don't know much about the drummer or the bass player. I just know they didn't have Steve Perry, so I didn't care about going to see somebody else sing what Steve Perry should have been singing at the Eastern Idaho State Fair. So, I- I just saw that and was like, "Let's talk about it on the show." Here's President with their original members as of right now, Fearless on K-Bear 101. Peaches Pit Party right here on K-Bear 101. I think I posted something dumb like this in the K-Bear 101 Idaho Rock and Metal Facebook group before. Somebody had plants and, like, a whole bunch of crap, like decorative crap, inside their refrigerator, and everyone was just making fun of what was inside that person's fridge. I shared it saying, "What do you think?" as a joke, pretending it was mine. Everyone was just laughing, how stupid it looked. Well, there's a definition to decorating the inside... Or, there's a- there's a term, I should say. There's a term for people decorating the inside of their refrigerator, and it's called fridgescaping. I'm looking at some of the pictures here. It's quite silly. There are literal plants, massive plants,
uh, little tea trays with vases on them, plants in those vases [laughs]. There- is there a framed picture? Yeah, framed photos. There's even eye cream. Wait, wait, what? I'm sorry. Did I just read that correctly?"Antique butter dishes might share a space with flowers, framed pictures, or even eye cream to create a visually stunning display," is what it says here. Allison Hester, a Charlotte-based photographer who is known for her foraging and gardening content, remembers when she first came across a fridgescape about a year and a half ago.
She talks about how she saw someone had an orchid in their fridge, and everything was in an aesthetic jar or picture frame, and it just lit up the dopamine centers. Who says something like that? I don't know. If I hear someone say, "It lit up my dopamine centers," I'm like, "What's your- why?" J- just say it made you happy. "Lit up my dopamine centers." It seems like a waste of space. On my- n- no, on the cr- contrary here, my, my fridge is very sad-looking. There's a couple sodas here and there. There's a Costco, half-eaten Costco pumpkin pie in my refrigerator.
Do you think maybe I should spice it up and throw some plants in there? [laughs] And just, my girlfriend opens up my fridge, "Uh, why do you have this in here?" "I'm fridgescaping, all right? It's my new hobby." I have to tell you this. People complain about, uh, high prices, high fast food prices, McDonald's specifically being expensive. But when that McRib gets announced, when that McRib makes its return, everybody loses their minds. Our friends at 100.3, the X over in Boise, Big J and Nick, they were talking about the McRib return. I, I only know one person, besides those, besides those guys, that is obsessed with the McRib. It's my friend Matt. He loves the thing. I think he has a classic McRib wrapper on display, like on a shelf in his closet. To each their own, right? To peach their own, as I like to say. But, uh, the McRib is, is one thing, and then the holiday pie has made its return. And I tried it. It's not, it's what you'd expect, right? They advertise this great picture of this cool-looking holiday pie, this great-looking, delicious holiday pie. And then you get it. It's quite small. You're done with it in four bites. And you, and you go, "That was okay. That was good."
But I'm also kind of tired of these, uh, fast-food restaurants announcing these specialty items. They have them for a couple of days. And then they just sell out. Like if you don't go within like the first couple of days it, it's announced, you're gonna get that, "Oh, we're sorry, we don't have that," and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm kind of tired of that. The holiday pie, it's decent. The McRib I haven't had it in years. I- if for some reason it's on a discount, which I'm sure it won't be... Wait, there's a McRib locator. If you want to know if locations near you have it, you can go online and check out the McRib locator. They're only launching it at specific restaurants. Whoa! This website pulled up a map of every single McDonald's in the country that has it, and it's zoomed out so all you see are a bunch of red pins. You zoom into Idaho.
Wow, the only one who's selling it in East Idaho is the, uh, McDonald's in Pocatello, on Yellowstone Highway. There are five... Wait, no. Oh, these, there's different symbols on these, uh, little pins. Okay, wait a minute, wait a minute. I gotta go back to the, uh, Pocatello one. It is indeed at the Pocatello location. That's the only McDonald's selling the McRib according to the McRiblocator.com website. Not a single McDonald's in Idaho Falls is selling the McRib. Uh, Rexburg, nope. Blackfoot, nope. Just Pocatello. You go to Boise, you go to the west side of Idaho, there are, there's one that's a definite yes selling the McRib, there's four question marks, and then there's o- there's one X. Uh, one, one McDonald's in Boise refusing to sell the McRib. All right, there's your McRib update, okay? [laughs] Shout out to the Pocatello McDonald's selling the McRib, the, the, the world-famous, the beloved McRib. We've talked before about how bad the, uh, New York Jets season has been, which we could have said in any season for decades. But here's a quirky stat that shows how odd the 2025 season has been for the Jets. Through 10 games, they haven't picked off a, uh, single pass. That's, that's, that's no interceptions at all. They are just the second NFL team since 1940 to have zero interceptions on defense in their first 10 games of the season following the 2017 Raiders. ESPN seems to have learned a lesson when it comes to the NBA, don't mess with their box scores. When the new season started last month, the network's website and app used a new layout, which, uh, separated rebounds into offensive and defensive categories, plus separated shooting percentage into two points and three-point shooting. People complained and one of ESPN's NBA, uh, analysts, Tina, or Tim Ledger, Tim Legler, Legler, agreed with fans and posted he'd do some- he would do something about it. And sure enough, the NBA stats are back to the way they used to be on ESPN's site, with points listed first, followed by field goal shooting and lump sums for rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, turnovers. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Here's some great news for fans of Major League Soccer. Beginning in 2026, the league will no longer be behind a separate paywall on Apple TV. This season, uh, Major League Soccer was only available to Apple TV subscribers if they kicked in an extra $99 for the MLS Season Pass. That's gone. Starting next year, all MLS games will be available on the Apple TV streaming service. And in case you're interested, all of this season's postseason is out from behind the paywall.MLS, uh, playoff games are available on Apple TV until the MLS Cup Game is played on December 6th. I would pay $99 for soccer to be completely off TV. Completely no longer a sport. That's just how I feel. That does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update, right here on KBear 101. I talked about it on the air over the weekend, there is the Giving Machine, um, that is a very special vending machine. Instead of buying candy or maybe even just some other snack, you're donating something that truly matters, like a year of school for a girl, prenatal care for a new mom, a beehive for a family, meals for seniors who need a hand. The Giving Machine, it's a great way to give both locally and globally. So right now, the I- uh, the Giving Machine is at the ICCU Headquarters in Chubbuck till November 30th. Then it'll be at another location, later on, that we'll talk about once it reaches that location. You visit the machine at the ICCU Headquarters in Chubbuck, you choose one or more items to give, you can give multiple. You swipe your card, only takes credit or debit, or mobile payment, no cash, and 100% of your donation goes directly to the charity you select. If you want to learn more about this, you can go to givingmachineeastidaho.org, or you can use the KBear 101 app right now, open up the menu and click on The Giving Machine. It'll take you directly to the site. ICCU Headquarters in Chubbuck, November 15th through the 30th. Go visit it. Donate what you can if you feel like doing so. Here's Evanescence Fight Like a Girl on Peaches Pit Party on KBear 101. I was extremely glad to hear a listener during To Peach Their Own last week, say that because of Victor saying how much he loves Red Dead Redemption 2, that he decided to give it a try and it became one of his, uh, favorite games. I thought that was awesome. Just because of what Victor has said over the course of, I don't know how many years since Red Dead Redemption 2 came out. Was it 2018?
It might have been. So, I was- I was reading this news over the weekend that Rockstar's classic game, Red Dead Redemption 1, that was released in 2010, is getting an updated release across nearly every major platform, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X & S, Switch 2, iOS, Android and Netflix. The- the re-release is scheduled for December 2nd and will feature, uh, the fresher visuals and the Undead Nightmare downloadable content as well, which is one of the best DLCs of all time. It will also be available, uh, available as a free upgrade for anyone who already owns the game on consoles, while Netflix users will be able to play the mobile version free of charge. I wonder how that's gonna look on your phone? It'll probably look terrible, but... Red Dead Redemption Part I, I think that listener that I mentioned, uh, said he never played the first one, he just hopped right into the second one. So, I highly recommend it for anybody who's only ever played Red Dead Redemption Part II or has pla- played Red Dead Redemption back in, like, 2010 and hasn't touched it since, including myself, we should all replay it again. It's a very, very, very good story. The Rockstar did an amazing job with Red Dead Redemption. I know once I see that pop up on Steam... Oh wait, no, it's not coming to the PC, is it [laughs]? I'm an idiot. Once it pops up on Xbox Series X, depending on how much it'll be,
I'll- I'll certainly play it again. Such a great game. I'm super glad that Josh and Chantel from Classy97, they have a whole lot of patience. They're a lot nicer than me because I- I have access to the Classy97 Facebook page and I see when messages pop up on my lock screen for the Classy97 Facebook page. And for the past, like, well, I- I should say maybe, hmm, past couple of months, ever since October started, I mentioned it
during the beginning part of October that I- I said,
"I'm shocked nobody has messaged the Classy97 Facebook page asking when does Christmas music start." Sure enough, the next day, one message popped up. It was, like, October 8th when that person messaged the page. And now, they're getting a plethora of different messages
asking, "When does it start?" And they've been posting non-stop on the page. They've been- they've been posting this countdown starting, uh, last week, it said, "Seven days to Christmas music." A few hours, they posted that. Somebody asked again, "When do you guys start airing Christmas music?" The countdown continues and there are people in the comments saying, "Oh, I'm so excited." But then there's also plenty of them that say, "Start the day after Thanksgiving. This is unacceptable." Like, "Okay, we'll bow down to you. Sorry. Sorry, queen listener." You know? L- if you want to listen to Christmas music now, you can turn on Spotify, you know? You never hear a radio DJ say that, but if you're one of those people that specifically wants, like, something your way or the highway, there's plenty of other ways to listen to music, plenty. Classy- Classy97 will start Christmas music on November 21st, which is this Friday. And I was making the j- the- the big joke to Josh that considering Josh and Chantel will be on stage at the, uh, Trans-Siberian Orchestra show, which I've heard non-stop rave reviews about. I will be at that show. I'll be bringing my girlfriend and her parents, and all that fun stuff. And I think a lot of us are gonna go to that show. I've heard they put on one of the best shows you'll ever see, so I'm prepared. I'm expecting ...... amazing things to happen on that stage. But I would laugh really hard if Josh just started screaming at people on stage, on the microphone, saying, "Christmas music starts tomorrow. Are you happy? It's finally here." Just to appease those people who have been flooding the Classy97 Facebook messages. [air whooshing] The Devil Wears Prada, When You're Gone for It's So New, right here on K-Bear 101. Their album, Flowers, was released this past Friday with, uh, Everybody Knows. We've been playing that. We've been also playing, uh, For You. There's another track, For You, When You're Gone. Think I also played Ritual, when that came out. Has, uh, 14 tracks in total. And I think there's one hidden track on the album, which is funny because, well, here, I'm gonna talk about this first. A lot of people extremely disappointed with how The Devil Wears Prada is sounding compared to their, you know, olden days, back when they were real young, right? They had that song, Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over. Like, there's some pretty funny song titles, but the songs were elite to those listeners back in the day. And now they're like, "What happened to the band? What's going on?" So this album's receiving a whole lot of bad reviews. I see r/MetalcoreExperts, uh, bashing it, you know? But what's funny, is that they included a hidden track on, I believe, the physical copy of the album, which is an old-school thing to do. They, uh ... What, what's the title of it again? Let me look it up real quick, 'cause I, I don't think I can say the full thing. The Devil Wears Prada hidden track. Yeah, Play The Old Bleep. That's the hidden track on the album. It sounds like their old sound, and the lyrics are making fun of those people that have been making fun of their new sound. Literally, the spoken word at the beginning part of the track, "I, bleep, hate The Devil Wears Prada. They never play their old bleep." It's basically what Architechs did with, uh, Scene Red, how they're just making fun of those fans that miss the old sound. Now, I like it when bands, all of the sudden, just get angry, you know? Were people asking if, uh, Phil Bozeman of White Chapel could replicate his, uh, older vocals, and then he just put out the band, White Chapel, just put out that latest album and really proved all of those haters wrong that they still have it? Phil Bozeman, one of the best heavy vocalists of all time. But right there, there you go, The Devil Wears Prada with their new sound, [laughs] When You're Gone for It's So New on K-Bear 101. [air whooshing] All right, let's talk about this. What is something you believed to be common knowledge until you discovered most people had no idea? You wanna go through this thread? If you said no, I'm sorry, we're doing it anyway. I see the top response here. When you're in a touristy part of a city, overly friendly strangers that come up and talk to you unprovoked, not looking for new friends. Now, I've seen, you know, that, that old scam where there's people in Vegas, for the most part, that do this, where they'll walk up to you, put a bracelet on you and say it's, it's like some sort of, like ... Uh, I don't know, it, it aligns your chakras or some crap like that, you know? And they give it to you for free. They say it's free. And then they say, "Hey, could you, uh, maybe throw in some cash for it?" And if you don't, they'll keep pressing you until you do, or they'll just take the bracelet off of your wrist, which I kinda feel like ... That, that's a nightmare to me, really. I hate when people do that type of thing, they try to sell you something. Funny enough, uh, somebody in the Life In Idaho Falls Facebook group, um, said exactly how I was feeling. 'Cause my girlfriend has a Costco membership. We've been going into Costco a lot as of late. They have some good stuff in there. But right as you walk in, there is the AT&T, uh, booth, whatever it is, and there are people working for AT&T, trying to sell you a, a plan. And they always act all friendly to you. And it's like, "Hey, I'm here to shop at Costco. Why exactly are you pressing me about a phone plan?" If I wanted to, I would come up to you, right? I hate the whole, like, let's just stand outside a store and try to sell people something, old-school mentality. Like, can we stop doing that? Like, I'm no- I'm never gonna d- like, go up to, like, a booth outside a store and buy something from them, unless it's Girl Scout cookies, all right? Let's continue down this thread here. What is something you believed to be common knowledge until you discovered most people had no idea? An awful lot of people I talk to don't realize their tax refund is their money anyway. You do see a lot of people like that, where they go, "Hey, look at my tax refund. Look how big it is." It's like, you should've been earning that money throughout the year. The, the best tax return is 0.0. But there's, like, this capitalistic mentality where it's like, hey, th- the bigger the return, the more you can spend on things that you want, right? Right?
What is something you believed to be common knowledge until you discovered most people had no idea? That natural doesn't mean healthy. There is a lot of science behind, um, uh, what's it called? The ... Buying organic, like, it's not necessarily good for you if it just says, "organic." But that's entirely a podcast episode of its own. Right now, let's move right on into some, uh, Mammoth Wolfgang Van Halen, The Spell, on Peaches Pit Party. [air whooshing] God is a Weapon from Falling in Reverse, it's Peaches Pit Party on K-Bear 101. Speaking of Falling in Reverse, I saw this, uh, continually pop up, continuously pop up over the weekend, um, this, this headline that said, "While flying to headline Warped Tour, Ronnie Radke hosted a live merch auction on Whatnot." You know, the app where you can just sell things and hopefully make a lot of money? He was doing a live merch auction on Whatnot from a private jet-He sold over $100,000 worth of merch during the stream, which is crazy, right? Like, he's... Is he selling his own shirts? Is he just going, "Hey, this is a size medium, back from way back when. I'll sign it, and here we go. Let's see how much money this thing could go for." I think it's crazy that he went from being in, in jail for a little while to now, you know,
on a private jet. For those that hate on Falling in Reverse, I mean, [sighs] I hate on Sublime, I know they're doing well for themselves. They pro- they'll probably have more money than me, than I ever will in my entire life. Ronnie Radke has so much money that he's flying a private jet to Orlando to headline Warped Tour with the band, and then I also saw that he just immediately left Florida right after the performance. Like, there are some smaller bands trying to make it at Warped Tour that were at the merch tables, trying to, uh, just meet their listeners, maybe acquire new listeners, sign things for people, you know. He just said, "Screw this. I'm [laughs] out of Florida. I'm going back home." [laughs] Oh, Ronnie Radke selling $100,000 in merch. Maybe I should just go on Whatnot and pretend like some of my old T-shirts are a big deal. Here's a size 3XLT. Nobody will be able to fit in it besides maybe another gargantuan human being like me. Let's start the bids at, uh, $20 and see where we can go from there. [graphics whooshing] I've been talking a lot about Black Ops VII from Call of Duty. After being revealed during this year's Xbox Games Showcase, the game is officially out on console and PC. But as quickly as the game was released, things have to- took an interesting turn. Uh, a lot of people fielding numerous complaints against the campaign that I've talked about a couple of times on the show, as well as the Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem, that the campaign is online only. You can't pause an online game, and if you're idle for too long, it'll just kick you. Like, what ha- whatever happened to just a single player campaign? Maybe you could, uh, do co-op if you really wanted to. You're not trying to force people to play with other people online. Just have them experience it for themselves, right? But Call of Duty has been, uh, using generative AI for in-game assets for quite some time. I've noticed it. It's been pretty obvious. It's gotten so bad that there is a congress, a congressional representative by the name of Ro Khanna, a, uh, Democrat representing California's 17th District is calling for regulations that put real human artists in control of how AI is deployed. He further suggests that artists should share in the profits and that mass displacement should result in taxes. I, I do agree there should be regulations on AI. Like, there should be some things that you can do for fun, have AI do tedious things for you like a podcast description or whatever else you need it to do, but to ha- to replace art with it, I, I'm not necessarily the biggest fan. Yet again, I am the guy that has been using the, uh, Suno AI to make these dumb songs, but am I trying to make money off of it? No. Am I using it just for, like, a brief little entertainment break for potentially, like, the Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem? Yeah, but if a real artist ever said, "Hey, I made you a jingle for the Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem," I would be like, "Okay, sick. Let's hear it. Let's play it on the air." Talk about that artist. I'm sure it'd be great. It'd be awesome f- for a person to do something like that. Maybe we should make that a contest. Have, uh, listeners try to make their best Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem jingle, and the best one gets to be the theme song for it's for however long. But yeah, this whole using AI for video games, we got, we gotta add some regulations to it. Okay, the future's looking scary. Uh, I've been messing with that stupid Sora app as well, trying to make these dumb little videos. I, uh, sent a horrible, horrible video that I don't think Victor or Jade has seen. It's, uh, it's quite grotesque. Then now [stuttering] if I see any AI slop out there, I do my best to, uh, send it to Victor to really just freak him out. [graphics whooshing] Now, I saw this pop up a couple of times, meant to talk about it earlier, but better late than never, right? A Pennsylvania man had a very rough day last week when he was shot in the back by his very own dog. Police say the bizarre incidence or accident happened last Tuesday night in the victim's bedroom. The guy was, uh, cleaning his shotgun, placed it on the, uh, bed. Moments later, one of his dogs jumped up, caused the weapon to fire a shot right into his lower back. The man was conscious when, uh, officers, uh, arrived, and he was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. He's expected to need at least one more operation. Police say the shooting appears accidental, but the investigation's still ongoing. It's tough to say your dog did your homework, let alone... Or your dog ate your homework, let alone your dog shot you in the back. I like how this whole article called it a paw-fect shot. I feel bad for the poor dude because this guy just got accidentally shot by his own dog, and there's a news outlet just making jokes about the entire thing. [graphics whooshing] Usually, I hate talking about the national holidays. Today is National Unfriend Day. Time to declutter your social media. Time to just go on there and get rid of people, stop following people who you no longer talk to. There's been a couple of random people that have done that to me as of late. I just looked at my, uh, Instagram, I'm like, "Wait, I think I lost followers. What's going on here?" And then you can see who deactivated their account and you wonder what made them choose that decision. But then you see those people that obviously just unfollowed you. It makes you wonder why exactly they did what they did. Like, why would they feel the need to just do so? Like, do they not like you anymore? Do they just... D- don't care about you enough anymore? It's kinda sad, isn't it, that you can just unfollow people? I wish it was, uh... I wish... Like, I, I, I don't wanna sound like that person, like I was born in the wrong generation, but I wish I was around back in the '70s and '80s when this wasn't a thing, when the number of followers really didn't matter. You just had friends and that was about it. You didn't know people's locations. You didn't know all this extra information that you don't need to know. It just brings you anxiety and dread, right? Like, "Why is this person at this place? What are they doing? They could potentially be cheating on me," type of thing, right? National Unfriend Day. If you wanna unfollow that certain somebody on social media, go ahead and do it. Why not? [upbeat music] Thanks for listening to Peaches Pit Party, the podcast.
