Wasn't it, like, last week, we were talking about how the this company is trying to bring back the wooly mammoth, and they're also trying to bring back, like, the 14 foot tall bear when it stands on its hind legs like a giant bear?

Well, now scientists are making strides in bringing back the Tasmanian tiger. It was declared extinct in 1936. A company called Colossal Biosciences, which I I'm assuming is the same company that's trying to do the whole woolly mammoth reconstruction. They're trying to reconstruct the DNA of this animal to 99.9% completeness. The project not only aims to bring a lost species back to life, but is also, to put it's also there to push the boundaries of de extinction technology.

Let me look this up. What animals would actually be beneficial to be brought back? Like, if we were to say we can bring back any animal in ever, any animal ever, what would we want brought back besides the the woolly mammoth? I don't know why they're wanting to bring back this giant creature that has enormous tusks. It's covered in fur.

Where is it going to live in the in Antarctica? The dodo bird they're trying to bring back. How big was a dodo bird? Look this up. It's always fun.

About 3 feet tall, weighed around £50, had downy gray feathers, a white tail plume, tiny wings. I love how they're just called a dodo. Like, some some scientists saw that species of bird and went, yep. That's a dodo right there. Peach's pit party on Kay Bear 101, Idaho's only rock station.

We've mentioned this, in the in the past about people using, their produce as, as symbols for wanting to try to date somebody within the grocery store. Like, somebody put a pine upside down pineapple on their cart, and that's the sign that they're trying to look for a relationship, I guess, at the grocery store out of all places. Well, here's another sign that grocery stores are becoming the newest pickup spot. Seems there's a trend in the UK right now called the bell pepper code, which people are using to signal to other supermarket shoppers that they are interested in more than just produce. The code is to place 2 bell peppers in your cart with the stems facing down, which apparently is a signal that you're just looking for a casual flame.

Yeah. Again, what if, like, you just decide, hey. You know what? I wanna buy some bell peppers. You put them in the cart.

I'm I'm sure they're gonna be in that little plastic baggy that you put them in. You're not gonna be an animal and put the bell peppers touching the dirty cart. They're gonna be in that little plastic bag. What if you put them both upside down? And what if you let's say you are, like, an innocent, like, late twenties, early thirties woman who is just walking by herself in the grocery store and buys 2 bell peppers, exactly 2 Bell Peppers, and they're placed upside down in her cart.

How many people are gonna pick up on that and look at her car and go, oh, she's looking for somebody. And, like, all these dudes are following her around the store? How popular is this movement? Are people actually looking out for this? There needs to be some sort of video on YouTube for me to watch.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson's season has come to an abrupt end after tests confirmed he tore his Achilles during the Browns Bengals game on Sunday. The injury is another sad twist for the Browns as the team will be without their starting quarterback but are still on the hook for $92,000,000 of Watson's fully guaranteed contract, which runs through 2026. In basketball news, last season, Monty Williams coached the Detroit Pistons to a record of 14 and 68 and then was promptly fired. Williams is now back in business, sort of. He took a job coaching at TMI Episcopal High School in San Antonio where he'll coach his sons, Elijah and Micah.

And here's a fun twist. The Pistons still owe him $65,000,000 that's remaining on his contract. That means he's getting paid 1,000,000 of dollars this year by the Detroit Pistons to coach his kids. I wonder how that is for the other high school students that are a part of that team. Is he getting them all new shoes, new apparel to wear?

Obviously, he's making quite a lot of money. I'm sure he'll put a lot of money into the high school that his kids go to. Anyway, more basketball news here. Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves is one of the biggest stars in the NBA. During a recent interview, Edward offered up a bold claim.

Edwards offered up a bold claim. If he wins an NBA championship in the next 3 or 4 years, Edwards says he would bail on the NBA and play football as in the NFL. Edwards was an excellent football player when he was growing up, still believes he could compare. He he could compete at the highest level. Everyone thinks that till they actually try it, and I'm sure he won't actually even win a he he won't even come close to winning a championship in the next couple of years.

That does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on KayBear 101. KayBear 101, Idaho is on the rock station. Imagine you're, well, you have a daughter, and, unfortunately, she, well, passes away. And then you find out later she was turned into an AI bot. This guy, Drew Cresciente, he was shocked to find his deceased daughter's image was used to create an AI chatbot.

Jennifer Ann Creshenti, her character dot AI chatbot, chatted with at least 69 people before her dad reported the profile. Character dotai said on Twitter that the user generated profile has since been removed. They didn't even know about it, that she was, you know, a deceased person. However, Crescanti worries about the identities and privacy of those who might not have a voice. It is getting very weird with AI.

It's pretty funny looking at those videos online. Whenever you see something crazy happen in real life or maybe something that's not that crazy, but then AI makes it even crazier. People use AI to make it just dumb like Donald Trump visiting the McDonald's, and somebody made an AI video of him just splashing everybody with the with the oil in the fryer. It gets pretty funny sometimes. Kaybarra 101, Idaho's on the station.

The FTA just approved that rule, to make it a whole lot easier for people to cancel subscriptions, especially to places like the gym. Planet Fitness is known to be, not the best when it comes to canceling your membership. It's very weird how you can't cancel online. They have to you have to show up to the location in person. This man from Ohio, Doug Madison, he wanted to cancel his gym membership but found the process to be nearly impossible.

The website didn't allow him to cancel online, so he went to the location in person. But then the employee said they weren't authorized to make any changes to his account, so, finally, Madison decided to cancel his bank card instead. The bank even said that they've been seeing this happening a lot. A lot of customers having trouble canceling subscriptions overall. It took him 3 months to break free from the gym itself.

I whatever point I decide, you know what, I'm gonna switch gyms, I I'll have to walk in there just mad and just, you know, get to go through the I I don't wanna go through the whole process. I hate people who try to sell me things. I really do. Back when I used to work in sales, I would oh, man. It would be the worst to work in a place like Foot Locker, sell somebody shoes that were already ridiculously expensive, and then try to say, do you want socks on top of that?

Like, I was expecting to get smacked. Kay Bear 101 Idaho's only rock station. This is why I think sports for the most part, especially when it comes to playoffs, are 100% rigged. The World Series features the 2 biggest superstars and most popular teams in the game, and the ticket prices reflect that because TMZ Sports is told the cheapest seat for game 1 of the World Series is 4 figures. The fall classic begins at Dodger Stadium on Friday featuring a showdown between the Dodgers and the Yankees, a matchup that hasn't happened in 43 years.

Oh, it's the the lowest entry price for game 1 is $1,049. Game 2, much more close to 2,000. It doesn't get any more budget friendly when the seat when the series travels to the big apple because the cheapest seat for game 3 is $1600. Not to mention the parking. The parking is looking absolutely horrendous.

And for anyone looking to be as close as they can to Shohei Ohtani or Aaron Judge, get ready to spend more than $20,000. You know what's even better? Just watching the game on your TV at home. You'll get the best angles, the best view of the game, and you're right there in the comfort of your own home. Peach's pit party on Kay Barrel 101 Idaho's Hill and Rock Station.

I found this kind of weird. An Englishman believed to be the world's oldest paperboy finally calling it quits after delivering the morning news on his bicycle for the past 70 years. 82 year old Joe Wardman began delivering papers in 1954 when he was 11 years old. His family owned a newsstand, which he took over in 1964 after the death after the the death of his father. He continued cycling through town, delivering papers to homes and businesses every day until the past September 21st until this past September 21st when he handed over his final copy of the evening mail to a local pub.

He, finally decided to retire because I'd done my 70 years, and I thought there's nothing else I can achieve with it now. It'd be kind of weird to just get your paper still delivered by an old man on a bicycle is what I'm trying to get at. Like, an 80 year old man just strolling by your house on a bicycle, chucking your paper. Like, it it would make me feel bad just to have this old man doing this job for me. Like, please, go retire.

Go sit in the couch and enjoy the rest of your life doing absolutely nothing. Retire already. Well, Chicago has done it again. They're on a 10 year winning streak that the Windy City wishes it wasn't on. Once again, Chicago topped Orkin's list of rattiest cities.

The pest control company based its ranking on the amount of residential and commercial rat and mice treatments it performed over the past 12 months. Chicago beat out some of the ratty cities, including Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Washington DC on this list as well. A spokesperson for Chicago's Department of Streets and Sanitation is firing back at Orkin saying, there's just no way that Orkin can measure or rank a rat infestation. Come on now. You you know you're wrong.

You know Chicago's a dump. Do your job or give it to somebody else. Lindsay, you can't remind people that it's National Slap Your Tallest Friend Day. Hey. You're the one that put it on Facebook in its own individual post.

So I said Thank you, though. Nobody get near me, and then I got insulted saying you would need friends in order for somebody to celebrate this day. Well, that's mean. I'm your friend. Yeah.

I got Lindsay, and I've got somewhat a victor, I think. And, other people around the office just tolerate me. I could definitely see Katie from z 103 just smacking the crap out of me. We were going for quality, not quantity here, so it's fine. It was kinda weird.

Around the noon hour today, when we were talking about this specific holiday, there was a line of employees just outside the caber studio waiting to go. Just ready to smack you. Wind up waiting for your turn. Yeah. Yeah.

Might as well go down the line and I I I would still think that wouldn't be as bad as the slap boxing that some people go through. Oh, I haven't seen that. Oh, the slap boxing's horrible. That is one of the worst in the power slap competitions that they have on. They they have I think the I think Dana White, the founder of UFC, also, hosts that, and it's pretty brutal.

Some of those faces, they get swollen big time. It's not good for anybody at all. It's I don't know why it's I don't know why it happens. I don't know why it's entertaining, but, also, you're like, ugh. Kay Bear 101, Idaho's only rock station.

Time for to peach their own. I figured why not, ask this question considering I just highlighted a bunch of, smaller bands recently for Peach's pick of the day, which you can catch every weekday at the top of the 2 PM hour when it kick start the show.

Someone wrote knocked loose and thrown. We played both those bands. Thrown, I talked about them at the Revolution Concert House in Boise. Somebody else said 7 hours after Violet, Shav for short.
