Well, it is Monday, November 18, 2024. Good afternoon. I had a productive weekend of just getting my place together, did the dishes, washed the bedsheets like I do every weekend for what I like to call sheet Saturday, threw a couple end tables away because I knew they wouldn't sell on Facebook Marketplace, and I didn't wanna deal with the hassle of haggling with different people and all that. And so, essentially, just got my place looking a whole lot nicer. Could it be better?
Well, it always can be better. The weekend was, was also weekend of watching a lot of fighting. I watched the, Paul versus Tyson fight on Friday. And then Saturday, I watched the UFC fight between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic. We talked a lot about the Paul versus Tyson fight on noon hour of madness and mayhem powered by Jalisco's, but I do know that people tune in at different times.
So, essentially, what I said on Friday, was true. You can go back to the Peaches Pit Party podcast for Friday, hear me predict that Jake Paul was going to win in the very end after the match went all the way through with a whole lot of well, nothing, just a whole lot of dancing, cleaning on to each other. I knew there was gonna be no crazy knockout or anything like that because if Jake Paul were to knock out a 60 year old man, no matter if it's Mike Tyson or just some 60 year old old guy, it was going to look bad on his part. So he just wanted to say, hey. I fought Mike Tyson, leaving out the fact that he is, yeah, close to 60 years old.
Overall, they made a whole lot of money. There was Netflix issues. There was just some funny memes also that came out of this fight. We got to see Mike Tyson's bare butt when he turned around after, kissing his son on the cheek saying, hey. I love you and just turns around.
And what looks to be shorts on the front were completely just it was just completely bare on the backside. He turned around, and it looked like Rikishi from the good old WWF days. And then not only that, there was also Cedric the entertainer looking like what people were saying online, a Nigerian scammer. That outfit choice was definitely unique to say the least. You know, he could pull it off, though.
If I were to wear something like that, I would get beat up. Right? If you wanna get ahold of me, 208-535-1015, that is the number to do so. We'll continue Peach's Pit Party here in just a few on k Bear 101. It's that time of the year again when the, world's largest dictionaries look back on the biggest news and cultural moments of the past 12 months to figure out the words which rep best represent 2024.
Oxford Dictionaries has revealed its shortlist for word of the year, and the public is invited to vote for the one they think deserves to be the winner. Voting is open till the end of this month, November 28th, and the winner will be announced on December 2nd. Some of the finalists, lore, a body of supposed facts, background information, and anecdotes relating to someone or something regarded as knowledge required for required for full understanding or informed discussion of the subject in question. You got brain rot on there, supposed a deterioration of a person's mental or intellectual state especially viewed as the result of overconsumption of material now particularly online content considered to be trivial or unchallenging. You got dynamic pricing on there.
You got demure, which I cannot stand that whole very demure, phrase that is, trending. You got slop on there and romantasy, a genre of fiction combining elements of romantic fiction and fantasy. Basically, just, you know, what the girls look for at the bookstore. Romantasy right there. You can still vote, like I said.
I don't know. What's the website? Is it just Oxford word of the year 2024? Is that all you have to Google and it takes you right there? There you go.
Breaking Benjamin right there, their latest track, Awaken before that, some ACDC. Speaking of ACDC, there was supposed to be the big announcement last week that they were going to, unveil their North American tour, show all the different stops. It was rumored that the Pretty Reckless would open up for them. Obviously, that hasn't been announced yet, so it's rumored to be happening this week. But then I started seeing these, different news reports popping up of Axl Rose joining ACDC for some reason.
If that's the case, no. I'm not watching what, what cutesy, I I love the whole cutesy online nickname theme that the Internet does. They're calling it Axle DC. I definitely do not wanna see that. Why is it that Brian Johnson can do the, European tours, the Power Trip Festival, and all that, but he can't do the North American tour?
That's just online speculation. I'm sure somebody just decided to spread that and then magically everywhere everyone followed with it, and now it's getting reported by these, almost TMZ esque news, news outlets that are like ACDC is about to announce a North American tour with Axl Rose instead, and everyone's freaking out in the comments section. Goes back to that whole thing about, if you post something controversial, the comments the the comments are gonna be through the roof, and it's gonna bring a lot attention to your article. I'm hoping they at least announce the tour this week. Today is the day that, Malcolm Young unfortunately passed away.
And so I was hoping they would make a big announcement calling it the remember the remembering Malcolm tour or something like that, but usually tours get announced on Tuesdays. So I guess we'll have to wait and see for tomorrow. Now if you're like me and you don't necessarily like the traditional Thanksgiving, What exactly do you do that's non traditional? Meaning, like, not eating turkey, having something like pizza instead. Eating by yourself because, let's face it, having the family over, going to family, going to a friend's place can not exactly be overwhelming, but just awkward and not all that fun.
I, myself, I'm really quiet when I eat. When I'm eating my food, I'm just silent. If people talk to me while eating, I kinda just look up and go, okay. Let me answer that question or follow-up the conversation. I'm kind of what's the word I'm looking for?
Physically showing that I do not wanna be bothered, which is an uptight thing to say. I know. But for some reason, I've gotten into the habit of just being quiet when I eat. I've talked about it plenty on the show now that no matter where I go, if it's back home with the family or my friend's place, my my friend's parents' place for Thanksgiving, I should say, I always get asked the same questions. What's it like being a radio announcer?
They can't say the name of the job. They say radio announcer, then they tell me if they listen to the radio or not or and also what exactly do they listen to besides me. They ask how I how everything overall works. Do I choose the songs? How does everything go on with that with the with the station?
And it's like I can sit there I can't sit there and break down every part of radio for you. I saw some people talking about what they do that's nontraditional for Thanksgiving compared to, you know, having dinner at 3 PM with turkey and all the other boring stuff. I did like what this one person said. They said on Wednesday night or Wednesday evening, they go out to Vegas, and they stay there from Wednesday to Saturday because the the hotels are real cheap. You got some interesting people in Vegas for Thanksgiving.
I'm sure there's plenty of food to choose from. And, also, Black Friday, you have the outlets right there in Vegas. See, if Victor was smart, he would have waited till Thanksgiving to them be like, okay. I'm going to Vegas to get a much cheaper deal on a hotel, have a much more fun experience. At least that's something I would do.
Maybe next year, I could plan a trip down to Vegas. And my parents, you know, my family, my friends, everybody who lives in Southern California is not too far from Vegas. That's about a, what, 4 hour drive. They can make the road trip. They can meet me there, have some fun too.
Other than the problem of glitching and buffering issues, the Mike Tyson, Jake Paul fight was a huge success for Netflix, not for the viewers. The company claims that the fight was viewed by 60,000,000 households while, of course, the reviews for the fight were mixed. You've got to give Netflix and the fighters credit for putting together putting something together that so many Americans were paying attention to at the same time. The best studio show in sports will continue. I was so happy when I saw this news.
Even after TNT's deal with the NBA ends next year, inside the NBA featuring Charles Barkley, Kenny the Jet Smith, Shaquille O'Neal, Ernie Johnson will be seen on ABC and ESPN starting with the 2025, 26 season. The move comes as part of a settlement of a lawsuit between TNT's parent company and the NBA over the new broadcast deals that start in the fall of 2025. The settlement will see ESPN trade the rights to a few, college football games to TNT Sports for the rights to air inside the NBA. My friend Olin did send me a hilarious post on Twitter. Somebody screenshotted their text message or somebody's text message to them saying, what if Disney now owns inside the NBA?
They can put Charles Barkley in Kingdom Hearts. Just food for thought there. The return of the NBA to NBC in 2025 has many fans awaiting the return of the iconic theme round bow round ball rock that the network used on all of its broadcasts. But, apparently, there's a snag between NBC Sports and the theme's composer, John Tesh, as he's been asking for much more than NBC is looking to pay to use the theme. Now Tesh has even considered licensing the song to another media company or selling the rights to a a venture capital firm firm.
No matter what happens, you'll likely hear Tesh's work in the 2025, 2026 season as he submitted 2 different themes to Amazon Prime for their NBA package. That is it for your Shot Clock Sports Update right here on KayBear 101. Idaho's only rock station, KayBear 101. Earlier this morning, I uploaded yet another episode of the artist interrogations podcast. What I'm essentially doing is taking all of my interviews and putting them, out there on demand wherever you get your podcasts, and I'm starting with, the first one.
I think that was AJ and Richie from Fire From the Gods going down, alphabetically. So now I'm in the c's, and I just uploaded the Chris Motionless interview, which you can catch, on the Peaches Pit Party section, the Peaches Pit Party page, wherever you get your podcasts, or if you just simply search artist interrogations podcast, it'll pop up there as well. Now in radio, you're kind of given a time limit when it comes to talking with artists in most cases. Sometimes most of the time, I should say, I'm given, like, 10 minutes to talk with somebody, So I come up with a few questions here and there. If they're a talker, most of the time, I'll ask, like, 2 or 3 questions, and then they just keep going on.
You wanna let the artist talk in that allotted 10 minutes. And with Chris Motionless, we ended up chatting for close to half an hour. And I felt bad at the very end because I was like, man, I think I just dragged it on too long because I was fangirling it. He's a super nice dude, one of the coolest guys out there. And we chatted about the, well, back then, scoring the end of the world just came out.
And then I said for I mentioned to him that in high school, there was a particular section of the campus that the students called Emo Hill, where it was a little hill. All the Emo kids, all the kids that wore the band T shirts hung out there. And And he said he was gonna name the next Motionless and White album Emo Hill, which that would be hilarious if he actually remembered to do that and just did that. If I actually had any influence on the next Motionless and White record, that'd be pretty cool. But I know it's not going to happen.
I know he jokes around like that, but it would be cool. Right? Emo Hill be in the next you would sell a lot of merch with that. That would be a great marketing tactic to just send or to sell Emo Hill T shirts. You can listen to that full conversation, like I said, with the Artist Interrogations podcast wherever you get your podcast.
There are a lot of things that Gen Zers do that I cannot stand, but some I'm like, okay. This is something I like. Something called loud budgeting is trending, and it's basically a way to keep your holiday spending in check instead of silently stressing over finances this holiday season. Gen zers are openly sharing their budget limits with friends and family, essentially yelling, I'm broke. I can't get you anything this year.
No more awkward moments when you can't afford a fancy dinner or expensive gift exchange, anything like that. You just kinda put down that barrier and say, hey. You know what? I'm struggling as is a lot of people, so don't be expecting much from me this Christmas. But when I when I, receive gifts, no matter what it is, it could be something as small as somebody handing me a Jolly Rancher.
I'm incredibly thankful because they thought of me. It's a thought that counts, truly. Could be something as small as a Jolly Rancher. Could be something as big as what my parents have given me over the years. Many, many, many things.
A drum set, an Xbox. Too many things to count. I feel so bad. And it's like, I wanna give my parents, my sister a whole bunch of stuff, but I can't because I can barely afford things for myself. Loud budgeting seems like it could go a long way.
As I was throwing stuff away this weekend, throwing away my 2 end tables that I knew could not sell on Facebook just because if I tried listing them on Facebook Marketplace, they'd be listed there for weeks, and those end tables would just sit in my place, and I wouldn't be using them. So I'm like, you know what? I'll just throw them in the dumpster. Took care of that. I also threw out one of these, those, like, thumbtack boards that had my, photos on it with me and my friends at the beach.
I'm like, hey. You know what? This wasn't a good idea. I'll just throw this away as well. But instead of throwing the pictures away, gathered all the pictures and then mailed them to my friend, Matt, because he was in most of them.
Like, here you go. Just take these and enjoy them because he also likes to collect pictures of all the different memories, different trips that we've we've done over the years. And, I had to use a stamp calculator for the first time just because I'm I I thought one stamp would be it, but then for some reason, a part of me was like, well, what if, like, one stamp is not enough? I need to put another stamp on there. I ended up just putting 2 stamps on there.
And I have I have a whole thing of these USA flag stamps in in my on my desk back in my place. I might need to get these ones as well. Just saw Betty White will get her own 2025 forever stamp. I rarely ever send things in the mail, but sometimes I do, and that's a perfect stamp right there. Betty White, her face on a stamp?
Sure. It's people like this in the news that give us a bad reputation, with other countries going over to a place like Japan. My friend, Kirk just visited Japan with his family. I'm sure he didn't do anything remotely close to this. A 65 year old American tourist has been accused of using his fingernails to carve letters into a shrine in Tokyo.
The Japanese police said he finalized a pillar at the Shinto shrines on his second day in the country. He was arrested the next day after officials reviewed security footage, found out it was him. He faces up to 3 years in prison or a fine of up to $2,000, and most likely, he'll never learn his lesson. He'll be posting something online like, I can't believe they're doing this to me. Somebody come save me rather than, hey.
I decided to try to ruin something that is ancient history. The genius of the day, you can catch every weekday during Victor's morning show at 6:45 AM. Here I was all excited that gladiator fights were returning to the Roman Colosseum. Saw that headline. Oh, okay.
Let's check this out. Was let down big time. Airbnb in the ancient Roman Colosseum, they're collaborating to bring gladiator fights back for the first time in 2000 years. Not exactly gladiator fights. 8 platform users and a guest will be able to participate in, quote, unquote, gladiator fights on May 7th May 8th and will be able to take the same underground route ancient fighters would have taken.
Wannabe participants can apply starting at the end of this month, November 27th, and these supposed gladiators will be chosen by lottery. It's more so just like a pretend thing. Boo. A way for them to make tons of money that I'm sure this thing will sell out immediately. People will pay tons just for this lame experience.
I got to go underground at the Colosseum or go in the tunnels of the Colosseum that that's completely falling apart. Woo hoo. Well, I haven't seen the TikTok video for this. I should look it up. This, TikTok user haven't seen the TikTok video for this.
I should look it up. This, TikTok user posted a video where she was asked to pay using a contactless payment device in her hospital bed, and the text overlay said, POV, you almost died, but you live in America. She can be seen pulling out her credit card to insert it into the tablet. Now commenters had a field day with this one as would I. It looks, they say it looks dystopian.
Quote, unquote, before you die, please tap or insert your card. One one person wrote, would you also like to add a tip? I could I could definitely see a nurse here in the area flipping the iPad around and going, it's gonna ask you a couple of questions. Alright. I have a first world problem to talk about here.
Every single time I log on to Facebook, I see there's a couple notifications, and I get all excited. I'm like, oh, maybe somebody, commented on a post that I, put out there or I don't know. Something's happening. Somebody may have added me. Somebody may have followed me.
I just click on the notifications first thing. The first thing I do when I log in to Facebook and I see a number there, I open up my notifications. And for the past couple of weeks, I've had notifications pop up. I click on them, and it's literally just a band putting out a status update. That for some reason I'm getting notified about it.
Lorna Shore wrote thank you, Japan. See you in February. Body Snatcher. They wrote tour is over. As always, a huge thank you.
Pale Face Swiss, another one right here. I'm looking directly at my notifications. They added a new photo about the, cursed North American tour, which I'm definitely going to that show. I would love to see Pale Face Swiss live. It was just announced that Stray From the Path is going to be one of the openers.
And, it might be Stray From the Path or Stick To Your Guns. I get those 2 confused with each other. And the, other opener is this band called Nasty. I feel like that's just gonna be a overall fun show, and I've always wanted to see Paleface Swiss live. By the way, if you ever wanna go to a show, go check out that concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar.
That Pale Face Swiss show is on there. I'm just tired of getting these, banned notifications on my Facebook. Like, why are you filling up my feed? Why am I getting notified about this stuff? There's another one for Sleep Token.
I'm just scrolling down here. There's so many different ones for all these different artists that I follow. Kay Bear 101. It's Peach's pep party. Black Friday is going to be here.
Well, I think it's already here. Black Friday deals are already happening. Sometimes I'll get text message notifications, and I'll think it's somebody actually wanting to contact me. And then I'll see it's hot topic out of all places trying to promote their deal. Sometimes I get excited about those.
I'm like, oh, sweet. 70% off the entire store. Let me check what they have. And I'm thinking for these sales, they happen for weeks upon weeks now. Black Friday is no longer just that afternoon where you or that early morning where you just wake up, go to the stores, fight other people for a massive TV.
Those massive TVs are everywhere now. I know Walmart has, like, this 98 inch television that's not necessarily the best picture, but it is a giant TV, and that's all that matters when it comes to some people. Right? My dad my dad is one of those dads where he's just like, I need to get a bigger TV. I need to have the biggest TV in the neighborhood.
My 55 inch TV, just fine. The worst part about getting a 98 inch television or anything bigger than, let's say, 80 inches is the TV stand. The TV stand is gonna be more expensive than the TV almost. It's just you can't find anything wide enough to hold a giant TV, and I can't wall mount a TV in my place. There's no way I'm gonna try to do that on my own for the very first time and then rip down the entire wall, expose the, my apartment to the neighbors.
That'd be great. The elderly lady living next to me, all of a sudden, she hears a loud crash. Next thing you know, the wall between our apartments just down parts part of it. I'm I'm over exaggerating, but, yeah, I'm not hanging up a giant TV in my place. And Black Friday around the office, it's starting to look it's starting to look like this office will be empty on Black Friday because people will be traveling for Thanksgiving, doing whatever they do on Thursday, then wanting that day off the next day.
I'll just treat it like any other day. Thanksgiving, I'll just have a nice separate day off compared to the weekend. Friday, I'll come in, get some stuff done, and then, yeah, enjoy my weekend. That's about it. It's a little past 4 o'clock, which means it's time for to peach their own.
Are you ready for today's question? I know, unlike me, there are a lot of people that are very excited for Thanksgiving. They're looking forward to looking forward to the food, the sides, whatever it may be. I figured, why not ask a Thanksgiving related question? What side dish do you look forward to the most on Thanksgiving?
It could be your cousin's, green bean casserole. Could be your mom's, stuffing. I don't know. Just let me know your answer. 208-535-1015.
Call in live to the show. I'll get you live on air here in just a few. Hey, K Bear. What's happening? Nothing much.
You wanna know my favorite side dish? Yeah. Sure, Crazy Joe. I would love to hear it. I know it's not vegetable related because I know how much you hate vegetables.
Yes. It would not be vegetables. Actually, it would actually be the only vegetable that I really eat that much of is corn, and that wouldn't be bad on Thanksgiving. Right. Yeah.
So what's what's what's the side dish for you? The side dish is cranberry. Oh, yeah. They're good. Aren't they?
Not not the real cranberries. They suck. You're talking for free crab. Yeah. The canned cranberries are the best.
Yeah. Alright. They are. I I eat those really great. Yes.
I I eat so many of those, and then I drink milk afterwards. It's my weird combination for Thanksgiving, and I love it. I love it. Thanks for listening to Peach's Pip Party, the podcast. If you enjoy the show, please share, subscribe, and rate the podcast.
