[upbeat music] You know, I had to kickstart the show with some Whitechapel because they announced an epic tour, one of the heaviest tours I, I would say, uh, ever. Whitechapel, Chelsea Grin, and I believe also Netherwalker.
The 20th anniversary of, uh... Oh, I forgot the album title. There, there was a lot of tours announced today. That, that's, that's why I'm starting off this show talking about, well, first of all, the Whitechapel tour, making its way to Treefort Music Hall in Boise, December 4th. Also gonna be in Salt Lake City the day before at the Union Event Center December 3rd. Underoath announced a tour with August Burns Red opening up for them, Atreyu as well. November 19th, the Union Event Center also. Windwalkers, they're, they're a smaller band, but they're still killing it. They're, uh, they're gonna bring their headlining tour to the Urban Lounge in Salt Lake City. Necrogoblicon
with, uh, Aborted, Signs of the Swarm, and Party Cannon. That sounds like one fun night. Necrogoblicon making their way to The Depot November 8th. You can find all of these shows on our concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. I hope your, uh, Tuesday is going well. It's n- it's, uh... I a- I almost said November 9th for some reason, 'cause I'm staring at one of these dates here. It's June 9th. It's six-nine day.
Yeah, it's, uh, six-nine day. Yeah. All right? It's Tuesday. If you wanna get ahold of me, you can over at 208-535-1015. Yesterday, I sliced my head open. Now I got a Band-Aid on my head like I'm some sort of big, dumb idiot. I was very, very happy this morning, uh, when I went to the cardiologist. This was, this was the first time I went to the cardiologist in a positive state of mind, 'cause I knew I lost weight,
and I, I didn't want to know the number because I'll become obsessed with trying to lose weight, and I feel like I'm already there. And, well, as of, uh, this morning when I got weighed, I have lost 32 pounds so far. I say so far because it's still a long road to go. I think I wanna lose, like, 130 more, but we'll see. Uh, we'll, we'll see exactly what is healthy, what is maintainable. Because back when I was 240, I was going to basketball practice multiple times a day, also running on my own, and I was just eating, uh, the generic meals that my parents packed for me. Now I'm on my own. You know, that's what really sucks when you're an adult, is that you have to make your own dinner and all of that. And I went to Mahana Fresh on my lunch break. Got myself some basmati rice, a kale crunch salad, some chicken.
That's all I've been having, is just chicken or salmon or some other type of lean protein. Sometimes I'll have pork, but
o- other than that, I'll just have, for the most part, chicken with, with rice and vegetables, and that's pretty much it. In the morning, I'll have that yogurt.
The, the, the long road. I, I, I'm so glad I've also motivated my friends in the Discord server. They're all talking about losing weight with me, changing up their diets. It's nice to be a positive change. Peaches Pip Party is here on this fine Tuesday. We'll be back with some more random crap to talk about here in just a few on KBEAR 101. On that last break, I didn't even get into how I sliced my head open. I, uh... Well, we talked about it on the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, and I still need to get that podcast episode up. But I was, uh, shaving my head last night 'cause it was getting a little long. And by a little long, of course, I mean, like, barely anything, a little bit of stubble. And I was like, "I gotta shave it off." I start to feel dirty [laughs] if the, if the stubble up there starts to get a little too long and I start getting that Dr. Phil cut, or I see the outline of it. I'm like, "Okay, here we go. Get the razor." [imitates razor] You know? And I don't know what happened, if I crinkled my head a weird way or what, but all of a sudden I felt this just cut right as I went gliding over that part of my head with the razor. I'm like, "What happened here?"
And then I stupidly went over it again. And then, of course, yeah, uh, here we go with the graphic, or here we go with the, the blood.
The, a chunk of skin came off, and it would not stop bleeding.
So then I had to, uh, go to the, go to the kitchen from my bathroom. I have blood dripping down the side of my head. I look like a ECW wrestler
trying to make my way over to the kitchen, wipe the blood off me, put some ointment on. I, I got this massive Band-Aid. Luckily, I had a box of Band-Aids. I was shocked to have them. I'm shocked I actually had them in my cupboard. I must have had those guys for years. I'm glad, [laughs] I'm glad to have those just in case for situations like that. And I had this giant almost comedical, uh, or comical, uh, Band-Aid on my head. And then this morning when I took it off, it started to bleed again, so then I put on a smaller Band-Aid. And luckily, nobody has said anything so far. But yeah, if you're, if you're, uh, a potential... If you're a bald person, be careful. Or if you're thinking about shaving your head, uh, be careful using a razor up there. It's gonna be weird for the next couple of, uh, weeks, I should say, because, uh, there's gonna be that little patch of hair, 'cause I'm not gonna be able to shave that part unless I wanna make it bleed again. That's the annoying part. Just keeps bleeding, keeps going, keeps going, keeps going. You're like, "Come on, stop." You know? Anyway, enough of my complaining about cuts. Here's, [laughs] here's Scatterbrain, "Fast Lane" on KBEAR 101. At 7:05 this morning, Victor announced the flavor of the day with Juice City Vapor. KBEAR's No Beach Beach Bash. If you hear the flavor of the day, uh, be played, which for the most part, uh, all of these flavors of the day are gonna be weird songs that we don't usually play. So if you hear one of these weird fruit titled songs play at any part throughout the day-Be caller, uh, is it caller 10? I should have the notes pulled up here. When you hear that song, be caller 10 at 208-535-1015 in order to score an entry
into this drawing for this awesome, uh, beach getaway package. It's valued at $500. There's a cooler in there, a wagon, towels, chairs, umbrella, waterproof floating speaker. Uh, what else is there? Uh, sunglasses, water blasters even, ice packs too, s'more supplies, all thanks to Juicity Vapor, and I will be at Juicity Vapor in Idaho Falls on Friday, June 19th. I'll be there from 3:00 to 5:00 PM. If you stop by my, uh, remote there, not this Friday, but the Friday after, you'll, you'll, you'll score five bonus entries just for stopping by K-Bear's No Beach Beach Bash. 'Cause, you know, East Idaho, we don't have a beach, but we wanna give you the, uh, the equipment, the necessary, uh... I wouldn't say tools, but the necessary items to bring with you wherever you go. Like, you know, if you go to Southern California, if you go to Florida, if you go to, uh, Houston, if you wanna go to their beach, or even New Jersey [laughs] or Hawaii, any place that has a beach, or if you even just go to, like, Rigby Lake, 'cause let's be honest, you know, traveling's quite expensive.
You can still bring all of this stuff for free. Again, thanks to Juicity Vapor if you're our lucky winner. All right, what's an item that you bought that made you say, "I should have bought this years ago"?
Just some of the responses. The first one here, dishwasher. I grew up without one. I think my parents had one, but they never used it, or it just stopped working and they never w- got it fixed, so I've always been accustomed to washing dishes with my hands. A, a Scrub Daddy sponge, some Dawn dish soap, and that's it. And you put it on the, the dryer rack, and then once it's completely dried, you, uh, put it back in the cupboard, which I never, ever do. They mostly just sit there on the, uh, the drying rack. But anyway, what did you buy that made you say, "I should have bought this years ago"? An air fryer, one of the best things ever. Absolutely love not only my air fryer, but also get yourself an Instant Pot. I talked about it with Victor, how I bought a dozen eggs
and, uh, I just hard-boiled them in the Instant Pot last night. It was super easy. You f- you put a cup of water in the Instant Pot. You put in all 12 eggs.
You then, uh, put it on high for five minutes.
Once it's done, you let the whole thing naturally, uh, lose pressure for another five minutes, and then you put all those eggs in an, like, an ice bath for another five minutes. It's the 555 method, and those eggs came out fantastic. I had four last night 'cause I was hungry and I did two laps around the green belt, and I was like, "You know what? I wanna have some protein." Eggs are great for you.
I have three more here today. I need to go buy some, uh,
buy some more eggs. I know you love hearing me talk about what I need to do, my boring chores.
I gotta say,
for my answer for this question, what did you buy that made you say, "I should have bought this years ago," Walmart Plus or any one of those subscriptions that helps you... Or, I mean, Walmart Plus is the only one I really use to help me deliver or get my groceries delivered to my place so I never have to step foot in the store ever again. It's one of the best things ever. And you schedule it for when you want, and it's, it's always great just to have all of that stuff just pop up at your front door. Helps you save money. Helps you buy what you, uh, necessarily need.
Now, there's some other great answers here on this question. I'll po- I'll post this one in the K-Bear 101 Idaho Rock and Metal Facebook group. What did you buy that made you say, "I should have bought this years ago"? Well, we still have a series in the NBA finals. All the celebrities showed up for game three at Madison Square Garden, and they went home disappointed as the San Antonio Spurs beat the New York Knicks 115 to 111. The Knicks are still up in the series two to one, and the Spurs are still digging themselves out of a hole, but the victory ensures there will be at least one more game in San Antonio. Game four in New York is scheduled for tomorrow, tomorrow night. In college football news, a couple weeks ago, Texas Tech quarterback Brenden Sorsby was declared ineligible by the NCAA for wagering on college sports, including his own team. He quickly filed an appeal in court, and would you know it, a judge reversed the ban, making Sorsby eligible, eligible to play in 2026. Not surprisingly, NCAA bosses are outraged by the court ruling as it opens the door for more college athletes to make huge mistakes in the gambling world and seemingly get away with it. And in another twist, there's been some talk that some, uh, Big 12 teams could refuse to play Texas Tech this season if Sorsby takes the field. Stay tuned, as this, uh, mess isn't going away anytime soon. In baseball news, Yankees star Aaron Judge is going to be out of action for a long time with a fractured rib, but part of him is still out on the field. Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. decided to use Judge's bat and hit a three-run home run against the Red Sox on Sunday. Chisholm's own bats are 34 inches, 31-ounce models, while Judge's is a 35-inch, 33-ounce bat. Chisholm said that, "When I pick up his bat, I know I can't swing as hard as I can," and that's because the last time he used one of Judge's bats in April of last year, he whipped it so hard that he injured his right oblique. I mean, I gotta- you gotta think, like, Aaron Judge's bats have to be, like, Thor's hammer 'cause the dude's massive. He's, like, 6'7", 250. Of course he needs, like, a giant bat to hit as many home runs as he does out there. Anyway, that does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on K-Bear 101. The Fourth of July is coming up sooner rather than later, and if you're looking for plans, of course there is the Idaho Falls Community Hospital River Fest, presented by ICCU.And Riverbend Media Group. It's basically this all-day Fourth of July party at Snake River Landing. If you're new to the area, if you're just now tuning into K-Barrel 101 for the very first time, or if you're like on your own, let's say, and you're like, "Man, I want to celebrate the Fourth," especially since this year marks 250 years since America has become a country. 1776 to now, 2026. Well, if you've got kids, you can hit up the Stone's Kia Kid Zone. All-day wristbands, just 10 bucks. If you want to try something a little bit more adventurous, our Rev Motorsports will have Can-Am's available in the off-road demonstration areas. You can see what those machines can do. If you need a break from the heat, the misting station is going to be your best friend. Of course, it's Idaho in July. Of course, it's gonna be hot. There will be, there will be food vendors all over the place because no great Fourth of July celebration starts with, "You know what? I'm not hungry."
Now let's cover a few things that'll make your day a whole lot easier. Bring sunscreen, bring water, bring ear protection for the little ones because when the Melaleuca Freedom Celebration starts, it's big. And if you're thinking about bringing your dog, uh, don't. The crowds, the heat, and especially the fireworks are not gonna be a great combination for your four-legged buddy. Also, no motorized, uh, vehicles, including rental scooters. And here's a big change for, uh, this year. There will be no RV camping at Snake River Landing. Organizers say the space will be used to expand general parking and improve access for attendees. So if you're planning to come in an RV, make your arrangements now instead of finding out on July 4th and then posting about it in Life in Idaho Falls or something like that, how, how you'll never go to River Fest again. And then when the sun goes down, settle in for the largest fireworks show west of the Mississippi, the Melaleuca Freedom Celebration. If you've seen it before, you already know. If you've never seen it before, you're about to find out why people travel from all over the region for it. It's Idaho Falls Community Hospital River Fest, presented by ICCU and Riverbend Media Group, happening July 4th at Snake River Landing. If you wanna find, uh, more information on it, go to freedomcelebration.com or use the River Fest link within the channel apps. I saw this story, and as somebody who's about to turn 30, I had one immediate reaction. Am I officially old now? Because apparently some college professors are saying they're seeing students show up to class who struggle to read at a level that used to be expected in college. And we're not talking about reading War and Peace. We're talking about reading normal sentences. One professor said it's not even a critical thinking issue. The problem starts before that. Some students are struggling to simply read and process the words on the page.
I think part of the problem is pretty obvious. We're all reading all day long. We're not just reading books. We're reading texts, TikTok captions, Instagram comments, headlines. We're consuming thousands of words a day. And as somebody who reads scripts quite a lot here in the building and reads stories and talks about them,
uh, who wants to sit down and read 300 pages about anything? That becomes like a, a superpower. [laughs] I'll spend an hour scrolling through nonsense on my phone, then look at a book and think, "Wow, that's a lot of words." You know? But I'll, but I'll read 500 comments about people, or from people arguing in the Life in Idaho Falls Facebook group or something like that. And it really is sad when you try playing a, like a card game
against, uh, people who are, I don't know, in their early 20s or maybe, uh, 18 to like 21. You try playing like Cards Against Humanity with them, and you hear them try to come up with- try to say these sentences, and it's real sad and scary at the same time. All right, let me ask you a question here. How many jobs do you have? And if your answer is just one, well, you're apparently becoming the, uh, minority, myself included. A new study found that around 54 million Americans now have multiple sources of income. That's up from 41 million just two years ago, and a lot of it is being driven by Gen Z.
I don't know whether to be impressed or exhausted because when I was growing up, having one job was enough, right? Now you've got people working a full-time dr- uh, job, deliver- driving for a delivery app, selling stuff online like what I've been doing [laughs], streaming, freelancing, somehow still finding time to sleep. Well, maybe. The study says nearly, uh, 16% of Gen Z has more than one job, which is about five times the rate of, uh, baby boomers. I get it. Part of it is the economy. Part of it is opportunity. It's easier than ever to pick up extra work with apps and online platforms. But man, at some point you've got to schedule a, a meeting with yourself just to figure out whether you're suppo- uh, where, where you're supposed to be, you know? "Sorry, I can't make dinner tonight," kinda thing. [laughs] I've got my second job after my first job before I start my side hustle. The good news is that there are plenty of opportunities right here in East Idaho if you're looking for meaningful work. I wanted to talk about this with you.

And while you're there, explore hundreds of other, uh, opportunities from employers across East Idaho. Hire East Idaho, connecting people with opportunity. Now let's play In This Moment, their latest track, "Sleeping With the Enemy" on Peach's Pit Party. I had to look up how to, uh, properly say this word, and I think I'm still getting it wrong. The, uh... Well, y- you, if you're a soccer fan-First of all, I'm sorry. Uh, maybe you should watch a better sport. Uh, second of all,
there are these people in the stands all the time that play something called the vuvuzela. Is, is that [laughs] is that how you say it? The vuvuzela.
It just goes bzz. Happens for, like, you know, the typical 90 minutes that is a soccer match every game.
FIFA has officially banned these vuvuzelas from stadiums at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
They're these plastic horns. The became i- they became iconic during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, but they've also been criticized for sounding like a giant swarm of angry bees.
All you heard is bzz. I mean, if your mascot is the bee or, like, the fighting bees or whatever,
you should have every fan have these just to kinda, you know, mess with the, the, the, uh, away team.
I, I think it's funny, all right? I also think it's hilarious whenever there's some kind of boring golf tournament and there's that one dude in the crowd screaming, "Baba Booey." I think it's absolutely hysterical going off of that, by the way, that when you see these people get so upset like they're about to, uh, tee off. Is that what it is? They're about to drive the golf ball down the, down the hole, whatever. And somebody blasts an air horn, completely messing them up, and then you see these old, angry men go charging after that person. It started with, uh, Johnny Knoxville and the crew doing that many years ago, and many other people have done it since then, and it makes me laugh every single time. You know I like to make fun of, uh, corporate buzzwords on the program here. And luckily enough, after reading these responses, I haven't really heard, uh, most of these.
I have heard Victor say, uh, "Strap up by your bootstraps" or whatever that phrase is. That one's dumb.
Or what's the other one? Circle back. That one's been said before. I feel like the one here that's been said a few times that got kind of annoying is that, "If you don't do this, you're doing yourself a disservice."
That one was annoying. Also, when anybody, uh, starts off an email with the word team. Team, comma.
And then they end it with cheers or best. Ugh.
But I saw this question here. Office workers, what's that one corporate buzzword used in meetings that instantly makes you want to quit?
I have never heard this one ever. I'm gonna give you some time back, but that's on- that's only when a Teams meeting ends four minutes early kinda thing, so luckily we don't use Microsoft Teams around here. I know at TMZ we used, uh, Slack to instant message each other to one giant newsroom, and all we did was just, you know, "Hey, do you have this story up yet? What's, what's, why, why, what's taking you so long?" This one I've heard plenty of times, and it was more so at those previous jobs that I had where you're mostly just working there because you wanna earn some cash. You wanna s- build up your savings. You're not there to make a career out of it, like when I worked at In-N-Out Burger, Pay Weight, uh, Asian Diner, uh, Knott's Berry Farm, Foot Locker even. When you hear this phrase, "We're like family here."
Normally I don't like saying red flag, but yeah, gigantic red flag. Peach's size red flag if you hear, "We're like family here." [laughs] Let's put a pin in this for now. I haven't heard that one. Circle back. Yep, that one we've heard. Out of pocket. Okay, yeah. I, I've been, I've been told my, my jokes sometimes are out of pocket. Drill down, deep dive. Haven't heard those.
Let's workshop that. I mean, for us, it's like, let's brainstorm on that.
Let's take that offline. Haven't heard that one. Uh, piggyback. Leveraging bandwidth. I should stop looking at these answers. These are just making me sick. One last breath indeed. Um, if you didn't hear the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem earlier today, hopefully I can get that show, uh, the podcast up on demand here soon. The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, if you ever miss it, you can always listen to the previous episodes on demand wherever you get your podcasts. Um, I was talking about my, my snack choices as of late. Trying to prioritize protein and lesser carbs, healthier fats. I've had turkey sticks for quite some time. I'll eat, like, three of those mini ones.
I just found out there's a hole in my shorts. [laughs] I just readjusted myself in the chair,
and sure enough, I was like, "Wait, there's a hole here." [laughs] Well, time to toss these shorts into the trash can after I leave here, of course. Maybe it's because I've been, uh, fart maxing with these, uh, these snack choices as of late. I, uh, hard-boiled eggs last night. I have, I have those.
Uh, I have three of those in my lunch pail. I also have sardines, 'cause I started eating those every so often.
So of course there's sardines and hard-boiled eggs. Those two, immaculate combo.
The turkey sticks as well. Protein shakes.
Uh, I'll, I'll... We should have a camera set up or a microphone set up. Maybe we should have, like, a fart mic set up in here. You know how they have that on Your Mom's House, the podcast with Tom Segura and Christina P.?
What if we just had a fart mic in this chair? Any single time someone lets one rip, it's just on at all times. So if you fart, it just goes right into the [laughs] right into the break. I'm sure people would love that. We're, we're very mature around here. Here's a heavy one for you. Motionless in White featuring Corey Taylor. It's Playing God on Peach's Pit Party. So of course, with my, uh, obsession of dieting and exercising, I've been watching a lot of these videos online of different celebrities, uh, breaking down their, their diets. And of course-You got to watch those with a grain of salt because well, no pun intended there because these, these, these celebrities, they have trainers, they have,
uh, they, they have all day every day to prepare for a role
and so uh they're gonna have the best thing. They're gonna have the best chefs. They're gonna have the best trainers. If you're like me, and you work that eight to five
and then you got to squeeze in that workout after work, it does get pretty awful and it, it, it-- you got to find that motivation inside of you. But it's so funny watching some of these videos, and you see these alleged diets that these, uh, celebrities follow. Like Terry Crews, for example. You see that dude,
uh, he, he's all muscle. That's it. You know, there's no fat on him, anything like that,
and he allegedly eats like barely anything. He's like, "I intermittent fast, and then I have this tiny lunch, and then I have whatever I really want for dinner, and intermittent fasting helps me so much," and he starts listing off like all of his favorite desserts, and it's like-- and everyone in the comments is going like, "Dude, you, you, you definitely just revealed to us that you just, you just use steroids. You have a trend sandwich." You know [laughing] it's, it's quite sad when you see some of these guys when they're like older than fifty-five, and you-- they, they still look like the way they did when they were twenty-five, and they still won't admit that they're taking steroids. Like, "Oh, no, I'm natural, buddy. I swear." It's like, sure. Yeah. Yeah, I eat a Carl's Jr., uh, double bacon thick cheeseburger and every single night, and somehow I still look like this. [laughing] Come on, come on. Anyway, enough of me talking about, uh, celebrities flashing their diets at us like we're supposed to believe they're actually eating that food. Here's Ghost Lacrima on K-Bear one-oh-one. There's always that one weird person on a sports team. Always. No, it was not me.
[upbeat music] Sort of. Well, I mean, sometimes.
There's always that one weird person on whatever sports team it is.
Um, I'm reading this story here about how there's, there's this Texas softball player by the name of Hannah Wells.
You know how athletes, they have this,
uh, good luck superstition,
like Michigan players have to hit a certain thing before they go out on the field for football? I've-- something. I, I don't know if it's Michigan. Maybe it's another school. Well, Hannah Wells has a good luck superstition that's been with her since she was a kid. If she sees a ladybug, she eats it.
A-athletes are superstitious. We've all heard the stories. You know, same socks, same pregame meal, don't step on the foul line, listen to the same song before every game. That's normal. Eating bugs? I mean, come on, eating ladybugs out of all bugs? Now, if you really wanna freak your opponent out, you should like eat a spider or something. You know, do it in front of their dugout. Walk over there.
Pull out a centipede.
You ever seen the movie How to Eat Fried Worms?
Go, go up a notch. Centipede, millipede, same thing, just more legs, you know. Pull it, pull it out, especially if you have it like in your pocket,
and you just s- [laughing] you just lower it into your mouth like it's spaghetti and just chomp on the thing and then just, just ferociously stare at the other team with these deranged eyes. That'll really mess with them. So this morning I went to the cardiologist. I talked about that on the, the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, as well as earlier on the, this show. I had my appointment for my yearly checkup because I need more refills for my prescriptions, which honestly feels kind of... I don't know. I don't want to sound too much like a drug addict on the phone when scheduling this appointment. I'm like, 'I'm running out of pills. I need more. Let's schedule this ASAP." And of course, the cardiologist that I usually see, he's booked out for months. I'm like, "Well, I only have like
four days worth of, uh, pills left."
I say that with a slight tweak, you know.
Well, the lady at the front desk, she's awesome. She was like, "Okay. Well, I can get you in with a, a PA tomorrow morning, eight forty-five." I had this call with her yesterday. Fast-forward to this morning, had the appointment, saw my weight on the scale, and that's where I realized I lo- I have lost now thirty-two pounds, like I mentioned earlier on the show as well. I'm down to three sixty-seven, and I can't believe I saw that number. I was like, "Six seven." I was about to stupidly do it right there in front of the nurse, and the nurse is like younger than me. She's sitting there [laughing] trying to get paperwork done. I'm about to bust out the, "Six seven."
[laughing] Well, apparently in the St. Louis area, there was an event called Six Seven. I think it took place two days ago on June seventh, Six Seven, that attracted hundreds of teenagers, and what started out as a big gathering turned into fights, police responses, traffic problems, businesses dealing with crowds spilling into their stores. Uh, police reportedly detained several juveniles and even recovered a butcher knife during the chaos. It,
it, maybe, maybe this is because I'm getting older, but when I was a teenager, if somebody said, "Hey, let's all meet up," we would meet up at Almond Park. That was the plan. That was the entire plan. We'd show up, stand around, make fun of each other, maybe get some food, then go home. Now, every story seems to end with, "And then four hundred people showed up, and somebody got arrested." I, I, I don't know when hanging out became so complicated. Well, I think the whole Six Seven meme, there's people that just take it too, too out of proportion. Whole bunch of teenagers showing up. Like, I talked about my old high school, the first high school that I went to. They tried doing the, the Harlem Shake and, you know, kids took it too far, started doing these horrible things to other students during the whole thing. The Harlem Shake, I still can't believe Filthy Frank of all people started that thing back in twenty twelve and that became like a worldwide movement. Can't believe that was fourteen years ago. Anyway, here's Atreyu, All For You, on K-Bear one-oh-one. Well, I don't necessarily have a patriotic music bed, but I do have Pomp and Circumstance, which I mean could work, I guess. Today's What the Headline comes from Connecticut, where an American flag managed to accomplish something most supervillains couldn't.It knocked out power for tens of thousands of people. According to utility officials, a large American flag got caught in high winds during a storm, blew into a transmission structure, knocking out power to roughly 40,000 people across Greenwich. Or how do you say this town properly? Is it Greenwich or is it, like, Greenwich? It's Greenwich, isn't it? Even though it's spelt Greenwich. Don't you love English? Good old America. Gre- Greenwich and St- is it Stamford or is it just Stanford or is it, like, Stuford even though it's spelt Stamford with an M?
Well, if that wasn't enough, the next day crews tried to remove the flag. The flag then hi- hit another power line, knocked out power again. At that point, the flag was not a flag anymore. It was a repeat offender. Imagine being the utility worker giving that update.
Good news, we've located the cause. It's a flag. And then it happened again, the same [laughs] flag. Uh, anyway, yeah, I guess, uh, I guess that happened over in Connecticut. That is today's What the Headline right here on K-Bear 101. I heard Victor this morning talking about, uh, the movie, uh, Backrooms, which of course is based off of the, uh, online series. I've played the game before. Apparently Victor didn't even know it was a video game until I told him. I'm like, "Dude, you gotta play the game. You gotta get that computer up and running. You gotta try it out for yourself." I mean, it is fun, but you do get scared, especially if you have the volume way high like you should.
Or if you're like me and, uh,
y- y- you turn it way down so you don't get, you know, you don't pee yourself, that kind of thing. But anyway, the Backrooms movie is what was made by A24, and I've had an issue with A24 movies in the past. You see, Victor loves those types of films. I haven't seen Midsommar because I already ... I, I've, I've seen Hereditary, and I thought Hereditary was gonna be, like, a great scary horror movie. It, it was just kind of weird and dumb, and I, I laughed in some parts where I shouldn't have laughed. So I wonder if I'm also going to hate Backrooms as much as I hate Hereditary. I have heard plenty of great reviews on the movie Obsession. I might see that one before Bla- Backrooms. And I also might see Scary Movie 6 before I, I watch the first five of that series. And I also ... I, there's been so many videos talking about how Scary Movie 6 has flopped, and I'm wondering if it's a marketing stunt, so people go out and give it good reviews. I mean, again, you can't really trust online reviews. You have to go there and experience it for yourself, especially when it comes to movies. There was a time where I went and saw the movie Hoppers, and you're like, "Peaches, that's a kids film." I know. But the story itself, man, that was a good movie. That was a really good movie. Some of those movies, they boast about being so fantastic. They just suck. Like 2001: A Space Odyssey, I will forever, ever, ever, I will always talk about how terrible that movie is 'cause I was forced to watch it in film class. It wasn't even film class. It was philosophy class. I mean, I should have known that movie was gonna suck when it was shown in that class. That teacher sucked. That class sucked. That movie, of course, sucked.
[laughs] The whole thing was just awful. 2001: A Space Odyssey. I didn't even like Full Metal Jacket.
What other movies that [sighs] are there that I didn't like? I don't know. But, but it's bes- that's besides the point. I mean, just go see the movie. If you're interested in seeing a movie, go see it. And if you liked it, cool. If you didn't, all right, that's also cool. I mean, you'll ne- you'll never watch it again anyway.
