[upbeat music] And we have made it to Friday, January ninth, twenty twenty-six. I hope all is well with you. I wanna get through this afternoon as fast as possible. At some point tonight, I'll be giving away the final pair of tickets to go see Ghost live at the Delta Center, February tenth, as part of the Skeletour World Tour in Salt Lake City. Uh, Victor forgot to give away both pairs on his morning show, so I'll be making up for that. Listen out for that cue to call. I'll play the final lyric, and then you gotta be caller twenty, guess the song correctly, win those tickets to the show. So they unveiled the future at CES, and apparently, the future is a fridge that talks back and doesn't even work right. You gotta, you gotta hear about this. Samsung showed off this AI-powered fridge that's supposed to open when you tell it to. Voice-activated fridge because turning a handle was just too much, too much work for humanity. We're, we're slowly going towards, uh, the WALL-E era. You know how everyone's fat, floating around in chairs? Th- that's how it feels. The fridge just didn't open during the demo, though. The fridge straight up just sat there, and I'm, I'm, I'm just imagining some guy going, "Open! Open! Open!" This thing's got a screen, cameras inside, food tracking, grocery suggestions a- as well, and knows what you eat, which is kinda creepy, when you eat it, and probably why you're sad. It can't do the one job fridges have had locked down since nineteen thirteen, that, that is opening. So the AI fridge, I believe, took home-- took the gold, an annual Worst in Show award at the CES Gadget Show. If you don't know what CES is, it's kind of like, yeah, just the future of tech. Nerds come about, or nerds gather and, you know, talk about what, what's, what's gonna be available to the public in the future. Like, what's the future gonna be like with robots taking over? AI does not need to be a part of the fridge. It doesn't need to really be a part of anything. AI should be only used for tedious work that you don't want to do, like typing out a whole podcast episode description. Every single day, I gotta have a podcast episode out. I gotta have multiple podcast episodes out because there is the Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem, there's Peaches Pip Party. There's also my other podcast that I do, Talking Between the Songs. So I have ChatGPT take the transcription, give me a description, give me a title, all of that stuff, and I just put it out there available on demand. The, the, the podcast itself is not AI, but the description will list stuff that we talked about on the show and all of that. So yeah, make sure to check out those podcasts available on demand wherever you get your podcasts. I just thought it was funny someone thought of an AI fridge, and sure enough, it just sucks. Anyway, if you wanna get a hold of me, you can, over at two oh eight five three five one oh one five. I'll talk about some more random crap on this fun Friday. [whooshing sound] There's a story out of Louisiana, where police, uh, were called because a woman was swimming naked in her neighbor's pond. Imagine you're just walking out the-- either the front door or to the backyard, and you see your koi pond, but then you see this like, I don't know, drugged-out woman just naked, swimming in your pool. Swimming in your pond, not even a pool. So the neighbor calls the police. They sh-- they, they, they show up, told her to get out. She refused because she said, and I quote, "She was trying to be a mermaid." This is a real story out of Louisiana. Not metaphorically, not spiritually. No, she was trespassing naked in cold water, insisting this was part of the lifestyle. They try to get her out because it's freezing, obviously, 'cause it's wintertime. She ends up fighting a deputy, kicking, punching, resisting arrest. Even the taser barely slowed her down. Now, I've always wondered what it would be like to be tased, but at the same time, I would never actually want that. I'm afraid my heart would just be like: "Okay, we're done." And I, I've seen, like, a, uh, radio DJs actually get tased in the past on video for entertainment. Uh, y- you kind of, uh, lose control of your body when you get tased, if you catch my drift. Like, there w-- the, the guy had to change pants afterwards in one of the videos. So th- this girl gets arrested. She, she goes to the hospital first because she got beat up severely by the cops. Then, you know, arrested, charged with a whole bunch of stuff. I, I, I would think the... Uh, it'd be funny if I were to just, you know, go to Victor's place, hop in the hot tub without showering before, too, make him even more mad, and just-- And he's like: "Peaches, what are you doing here?" "I'm just trying to be a mermaid." That's it. It's Peaches Pip Party, now with Breaking Benjamin, "Awaken" on K-Bear one oh one. [whooshing sound] I'm telling you, we're getting lazier and lazier. A couple in the Netherlands just had their marriage annulled because their wedding vows were written by a ChatGPT, and it did not include the legally required language, not a metaphor. The court literally said, "The marriage never existed," because the ceremony skipped the official wording. They said, "I do," celebrated, filed the paperwork, and the judge was like: "Nope, that doesn't count." [chuckles] And this is what happens when people won't even put effort into the one day you're supposed to, uh, you know, try a little. You didn't write your own vows. You didn't double-check the script. You didn't google legal wedding requirements. You just copied and pasted and hoped the government would roll with it. The, the marriage lasted, [sighs] well, what, what's it called? But, like, the same amount of time as Kim Kardashian and Chris Humphries, that whole thing. Remember that? If you're so tired, you outsource your wedding to a chatbot, maybe eloping is the more honest option. [whooshing sound] You know how people are absolutely devastated that the old Idaho Falls water tower is being taken down? The demolition started today, and people are legit emotional about it. Some people are even saying they would love a piece of it to keep on the mantle or something, which made me think maybe Idaho Falls should do what Buffalo Bills fans have the chance to do right now because Bills fans can actually buy urinal troughs.... from Highmark Stadium. Yes, the real ones from the actual bathrooms, the, the famous men's room troughs. They're clearing out as much as possible before the stadium gets demolished, and if you're looking for a real conversation starter in your man cave, nothing says home decor like something forty thousand dudes used at halftime. [whooshing sound] The hottest beer in New England is one named after Patriots quarterback, uh, Drake May, the Love the Drake brew from Massachusetts-based Stellwagen Beer Company blends a Seinfeld reference with a nod towards, uh, May. Elements of the Seinfeld logo are worked into the can art, and it also features a, uh, quarterback in a navy number ten jersey and silver pants scrambling with the ball.
I guess that's something to t- talk about here. [chuckles] There's another NFL head coach opening. The Miami Dolphins fired Mike McDaniel on Thursday after four seasons in charge. That means there are now eight openings to be filled during the off-season: the Dolphins, Ravens, Browns, Giants, Raiders, Cardinals, Falcons, and Titans. Yeah, [chuckles] there's a, there's a lot. Playing back-to-back nights in the NBA is usually the least favorite part of the schedule for players, and for LeBron James, it seems like that part of his career is over. When James was asked about playing the end of a back-to-back Wednesday night against the San Antonio Spurs, James told reporters, "I'm forty-one years old. Every back-to-back for the rest of the season is to be determined. I am forty-one. I got the most minutes in NBA history. Bank it right now, okay? What are we talking about?" James did sit out that, uh, that Lakers l- loss. His next chance to, uh, skip a back-to-back comes next week as the Lakers visit Sacramento on Monday and host Atlanta on Tuesday. You know how I feel about that? Is like, hey, if you can't do your full job, you can't be there for the full season, then you should just retire. You know, forty-one years old, you're good! You've been in the NBA for how long now? You've made all this money, you've, uh, tried proving yourself as the greatest of all time, and you've come close to it. The greatest of all time is still Michael Jordan. Still... You know, Kobe's up there, too, but I- I would say LeBron has played in a very, very soft NBA compared to the, uh, compared to the GOAT himself, that is Michael Jordan. I w-- I'm not the biggest fan of Michael Jordan as a person or a player, but you gotta give him his respect. That is it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on KBEAR one oh one. [whooshing sound] All right, you know, this is, this is something that I would do. There is an insecticide company in Japan that just held a memorial ceremony for the bugs that died during product testing. They literally gathered people to honor insects that got splatted in lab trials. So they put flowers out, did a moment of silence, basically paying respect to the very creatures their chemicals are designed to murder. Uh, I, I could only imagine being an ant that died because you wanted to test out the, uh, latest formula for Raid, and you just put out a thing of flowers. There's a picture. D- d- did somebody give a speech? Like, imagine going home and telling your roommate, "I, I went to a funeral for ants." Who signs up for that? Did someone bow their head and whisper, "Sorry, little beetle, your sacrifice helped us, uh, kill your cousins"? Like, w- why did they... [chuckles] I would love to learn more about how this all went down. Somebody's gonna hang that photo on their fridge next to the birthday pics. All the neighbors walking by like, "Oh, yeah, that's Greg. He really felt for those aphids." [whooshing sound] I saw this meme earlier today, and I can't stop thinking about it. It said, "Do you think people back in, like, nineteen twenty were sitting around going, 'Man, I really miss the summer of nineteen sixteen?'" Like, were people back then complaining about the lack of snow, too, or saying, "Winters used to be colder back in, like, eighteen eighty-six?" Because the weather didn't magically start changing when Facebook showed up. People just finally got a place to complain all at once, I think. Back then, if you were mad about the weather, you had two options: you, you talked to your spouse, or you leaned over the fence and bothered your neighbor for, like, five minutes. That was it. No audience, no validation, no strangers chiming in from three blocks away. Like, "Actually, according to my uncle..." There, there was no Facebook groups where someone could post, "Anyone else think it used to snow more?" And then immediately get two hundred comments, half of them arguing, half of them sharing, uh, blurry photos from, you know, years past, like they're evidence in a court case. Now, if it rains for ten minutes, people are online re- uh, acting like this town is collapsing. "If it keeps raining like this, we're all doomed!" Then you get all, those other people that say, "Oh, we need the water." Back then, if the weather sucked, you just lived with it. You didn't document it. You didn't, didn't announce it. You didn't demand accountability from the clouds. I think people complained less because complaining required effort. You had to put on shoes, you had to see another human, and that alone probably stopped a lot of bad takes from ever happening. [whooshing sound] So we got hooked up with some, uh, movie tickets, which I think is rather cool. We're giving these away, uh, tickets to go see Megadeth: Behind the Mask. I didn't even know they were making a movie for Megadeth's final album. It's a cinematic event hitting Regal Edwards Grand Teton on January twenty-second and twenty-fourth. Dave Mustaine reflects on forty years of Megadeth, sharing untold stories, a, uh, career-spanning interview, and more. Plus, the world premiere listening experience of Megadeth's new self-titled album played in full. So what you're gonna do is you're gonna listen for that cue to call whenever, uh, next week, then be caller fifteen at two oh eight five three five one oh one five. Not right now, but starting next week. Listen for that cue to call, be caller fifteen to win a pair of tickets to go see Megadeth: Behind the Mask. Uh, both showings are January twenty-second and twenty-fourth, like I mentioned. I believe the first one is at six PM, and then January twenty-fourth is at two PM. These tickets that we have are good for either showing, whichever one works for you. [whooshing sound] This was posted on Reddit, so I'm not exactly sure if it's credible or not. "During the early Renaissance era, a, uh, large forehead was deemed very beautiful. Women plucked their eyebrows and pushed back their hairline in order to achieve the look. They sometimes burned the follicles with hot pins to keep them from regrowing in order to achieve an almost baby-like bald forehead." I'm looking at some of the paintings from back then, 'cause, you know, obviously there weren't any pictures. All you can get are these silly-looking paintings. This one painting looks very realistic, and it looks so stupid. It looks like her hair is falling off the backside of her head. Same with the second one. I loved the joke that, uh, that was the top comment in the Reddit thread: "Gonna be a lot of people far in the future looking back at lip filler, Botox, uh, Synthol, et cetera, like this." I mean, could you imagine?...Here I am complaining about the, the pain of a single paper cut, while Renaissance women were out here literally cauterizing their hairlines with hot pins just for the, [chuckles] just for the aesthetic. "Beauty standards have always been hardcore." That's another comment there. I, I love how this is a thing, like they intentionally made themselves, uh, balding, but then you go to a, a subreddit like r/bald, and you see a dude with barely any hair on his head going, "Is it time for me to shave it all off? Please let me know." There's this one question that keeps popping up on Reddit: Would you date a woman taller than you? And, well, obviously I wouldn't, because that would make them, like, six-ten, six-eleven, and i-i... N-not really many of those exist, [chuckles] and they don't live all that long, unfortunately. Very, very, very, very tall people live very short lives. I was just watching the old Longest Yard last night, and it has the, uh, the guy from, uh, Happy Gilmore, as well as the Bond movies. I believe his name is Richard Kiel. He's- he was about, like, seven foot two. How old was he when he died? 'Cause I was shocked to see he lived rather a long time for such a big dude. He lived to seventy-four. He died in 2014, was born in 1939. I think he lived around the same time, uh, I, I think... Hold on here. Burt Reynolds. I was about to say he lived about the same amount of time as Burt Reynolds did. Yeah, Burt Reynolds was eighty-two when he died in 2018. Richard Kiel was about, was seven foot two. He was a giant dude, [chuckles] and he's always-- I, I always love when Hollywood, you know, casts a big guy to play the big, dumb, strong character. There's never a, a giant smart guy. But yeah, going back to this question, would you ever date a, a woman taller than you? There was always those people back in high school that would be like, "Oh, look, Brendan, there's, there's a girl here that's taller than every guy in the class. You should go out with her. That's your girlfriend now." Drove me nuts. There was a, uh, time my... I think my freshman year of high school, I had my algebra whatever class, and I'm sitting there, and everything was going fine until one day, like a month into the semester, some extremely tall, very, very skinny emo girl that wore giant heels, I'm talking like, like four-inch heels, she comes walking into the class, and of course, the desk next to me was open. So she sits at that one,
and keep in mind, she's, like, six-four in these heels. You wouldn't believe how many digs I got that year from s- [chuckles] from so many different people. "Hey, I saw your girlfriend walking to her next class. Oh-ho!" You know, so stupid. Not all of us tall people, you know, want each o- [chuckles] want each other that badly. You know, Liz Cambage of, uh, the WNBA, she's six foot nine. My, my, my girlfriend's five-ten. She's perfect. P- perfect height. Five-ten is great, you know? Five-ten looks- She, she always makes this remark every single time we take a picture together. She goes, "I look normal size next to you." Either she's calling me fat or, [chuckles] uh, we just look normal. We look like normal people until somebody else comes into the picture. We have plenty of pictures with just us two, where we look like normal-sized people, and then Maddie from down the hall will sometimes take a picture with us, and then we're back to looking like giant freaks. I was reading something here about how the creator of Tetris wants Rubik's Cubes launched into space as a symbol of civilization. Not like satellites or telescopes or anything practical, but Rubik's Cubes. Apparently, when future aliens or robots look up and see cubes spinning in orbit, they'll think, "Ah, yes, advanced puzzle culture," you know? This is the same guy who made Tetris, a game about blocks falling, making perfect lines, so obviously, his solution to everything is more blocks in weird places. The idea is that if we send up Rubik's Cubes, we're sending up something that represents humanity's creativity and problem-solving, which is great until you realize that that thing just floats up there eternally, forever unsolved. Imagine an alien civilization finding one of those cubes, trying to figure it out, and a million years later, they're all still arguing about which color goes where. Meanwhile, back on Earth, people can't even solve them on the first try without peeling the stickers off. Some of us barely solved childhood experiences. Now the plan is to shove more three-by-three squares into orbit. Didn't we already talk about how
in, uh, what's it called? Space junk will fall from the sky pretty soon 'cause there's so much debris just floating around out there, that eventually, they'll all, like, come back to Earth's atmosphere, then come flying down, maybe even hit a plane flying in the sky. Crazy, man. Fit for a King right now with Shelter on KBEAR 101. A West Virginia animal shelter getting a lot of attention after a dog named Dawson pulled off what is basically the canine version of a prison break. This dog somehow got out of its locked kennel, ran to the front door, and then, this is the best part, unlocked the door himself while the shelter was closed. There's security footage of this. Dawson stands up on his hind legs, uses his mouth to mess with the lock, and then pushes the door open like, you know, he just pays rent there, just casually letting himself out. The shelter even posted the video online and joked, "This guy is much smarter than he looks," and added, "This is not AI, though we wish it was." There's been a lot of those dumb videos [chuckles] making their way around on- online about, like, pets doing weird things. There was literally a time where... I'm not gonna name their name, and I'm not gonna give away who they are, but this one person said, "I swear this is not AI," and they sent a video of a dog doing, like, the, uh, the Chicken Dance.... and we all just laughed at that person, just 'cause it was like, "How do you believe that's real?" They're, they're, they're older, so
I mean, you know, boomers can fall for anything online. [chuckles] I do love some of those AI videos, man. They do crack me up. Think about how wild that is, though. A dog- your dog at home can't figure out where you hid the treats, but this one's over here picking locks, executing an escape plan. Now, that's today's What the Headline right here on K-Bear 101. [whooshing sound] You know what sucks is that it's 2026, and for those of us that have to sleep with a CPAP, like me, there's a whole lot of work that needs to go into a CPAP machine, all because you can't breathe while you sleep. And you know, getting a sleep study is very crucial. If you snore extremely loud, if you feel like you stop breathing during the middle of the night, if someone tells you, like, if your, uh, significant other tells you, "Hey, um, it sounds like you just randomly stop breathing," go get a sleep study done. Trust me, it'll really, really help. As a guy who h- didn't realize he had sleep apnea for a long time, and then woke up in the middle of the night one night to have my heart be in AFib and have to go to the hospital and all of that, and then realize, "Oh yeah, I do have sleep apnea, and I do need a CPAP," the CPAP has worked wonders. I highly recommend getting one if you wake up feeling tired still, all of that. So anyway, the CPAP also [chuckles] involves some work. Not as much work as there probably used to be, like, let's say, if you had sleep apnea back in, like, 1986, but you still gotta wash the water basin. I'm a lazy person, naturally, of course. You gotta wash the tubing. You gotta replace the mask. I, I get calls every couple of months that I need to replace my PAP supplies. I get that automated voice call from, uh, the specific place, and [chuckles] they're like, "Hey, it's time to replace," and then they bill you as well. It's not free. You gotta pay for all that stuff, too. I have a couple of tubes and all of that. It's weird when you have to deal with, uh, you know, some sort of problem with it, 'cause then you're like, "Well, well, crap, I can't just sleep without it. I need this thing to work." I was just talking to my girlfriend on the phone during this, uh, show here about how there's been, like, a leak outside the front of the mask, and that I also desperately need to clean my CPAP because the water basin, it, it gets caked with I don't know what. I don't even want to describe it. It's just gross. [chuckles] But you, you gotta put, like, Dawn dish soap in there, scrub it, and the worst part about it is, if you don't let it dry enough, or if you, like, uh, you know, just r- right after you wash it, you then put on the mask and try going to sleep, you get a nice big whiff, a nice big, overpowering smell of, uh, Dawn dish soap right to your nostrils. I can only imagine pulling a prank on somebody with a CPAP. You fill up their water basin with, like, Diet Coke while they're sleeping, something [chuckles] like that. That'd be horrible. Do not do that, please. All right? Leave people with CPAPs alone. [whooshing sound] A week from today, I'm going back home to go see my family, bringing the girlfriend along to meet my parents. I know it's such a big deal. She finally gets to see, uh, my, my wacky family down in, uh, Southern California. And you know when you travel to Southern California, or when you travel anywhere, you wanna save up as much money as possible, so you wanna find the cheapest flight. But then you also think, like, while you're on that flight, like, "Hey, maybe I should have upgraded to a more comfortable seat." Airplane seats are not comfy at all. They suck. You gotta pay, like, 30 bucks extra to have extra legroom, and I naturally need extra legroom. You can't be that person that calls shotgun and then makes the giant dude sit in the back of the car. It, it, it's, it's like having the old lady stand while you sit, you know? It's just not a good thing to have. [chuckles] So not only that, but then you also need a rental car. There's been plenty of times I'm- I go back home, and I'm like, "I, I don't need a rental car. I don't wanna spend that extra money," and then I get to California, and then I'm like, "Okay, I'm just stuck at my parents' house while they're all at work." That's another thing, too, that I've talked about quite a lot, is that when you, when you go back to, like, your hometown, wherever that is, you realize, "Oh, wait a minute. Everybody has lives. Everybody still needs to go to work. They're not gonna be off that entire week like you are. They're gonna still need to go to their job, run errands, do all of that stuff." They're, they're living life. You're just, uh, coming back to j- get away from where you're currently at in your life and that sort of thing. [chuckles] I got myself a nice, uh, minivan as a nice rental car for California. I just wanted to see what it was like to drive one, really. You get the slide-out doors. You know, we can, uh, pack all of my tall friends in there. Minivans are cool, all right? I don't care if anybody insults me with it. I love minivans. I love vans overall. I wanted to rent a Mercedes Sprinter Van, but those things were, like, $1,200 to rent them for the entire week. This minivan? A nice 240.
