#0318 - Australia Has a Fatberg and Poo Balls - 02/27/2026
Speaker 1: Friday! What's up everybody? Yeah! Oh man, I am so excited for the weekend. I just need, I just need a couple days off. Need to sleep in. Now I do want to be lazy, but I got a lot of crap to get done around the house. I was productive yesterday though. I did do a bunch of laundry mayhem. And then this morning on my way out I look into the laundry room and it's like the mountain of clothes, it hasn't changed.
How is this possible? Oh well, just keep chiseling away at it. You've got to be able to beat it somehow. There's only so many clothes that can be dirty in a day. It's like, ah, chores I tell you. You know what it's like when your house is a mess and it's been a mess awhile. You just want to clean it up?
Yeah, it's where I'm at. But doing chores sucks too. Like Resident Evil 9 comes out today.
Resident Evil 9. And I'm sitting here going, alright. I've spent a bunch of money recently. You know, I mentioned buying a snowblower. Other things like a carpet shampooer. I spent a bunch of money recently. Should I go drop $70 on Resident Evil 9? And then probably not end up really playing it.
I don't know. I'm pretty into Resident Evil. I have a feeling if I got it, I would actually play it. But then I saw an article floating around that said all the physical copies were already sold out. Let's see. Let's go to the store locator at Best Buy and see if we've got any local copies in stock.
Alright, it says my store is selected. Idaho Falls. Resident Evil. Yeah.
If you haven't played Resident Evil 7 or 8 or the remake of Resident Evil 4 that I played once and then forgot to get back to, they're just all so excellent. Alright, pick up unavailable. You've got to be kidding me. Alright, maybe I'm not going to get that game today because I'm old school. I like getting physical copies of games. You know, you can't trade in a digital copy. You can't loan a digital copy to a friend. I don't really like this move toward all games being digital. That's probably why physical copies appear to be unavailable.
Let's go to Google. There have to be some physical copies somewhere. They couldn't really be all sold out from pre-orders. Ugh.
Game stop. I mean, I'd have to go to the mall. Are they going to have it in stock?
I don't know. I know this isn't a very quality break, but it's something that is on my mind. Like, oh yeah, Resident Evil 9 comes out today. Not available for pick up at Game Stop. Maybe it's because nowhere's open yet.
You know, maybe that's what's going on. This is dumb. Well, I might save myself $70 today because I am not going to buy digital copy.
No, I flat out refuse. Speaking of video games, we are still in the middle of make the switch with Brent Gordon Law. So don't forget to sign up in each of our apps, the K-Bear app, the Alt-101 app, the Cannonball 101 app. You can sign up once per app to win a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle from Brent Gordon Law, just in time for the time change.
We're going to draw a winner one week from today. And then also listen for that Mario sounder. If you hear that played, B-Color number 20, that'll get you an extra entry into the drawing. So yeah, you don't have to spend any money.
You just win. And I guess I should be digging for content, but I'm going to dig around on the internet here and see if I could find any, any Resident Evil available anywhere. There's got to be somewhere to get it.
Come on, this is ridiculous. Alright, I think I found a copy of the new Resident Evil game in stock, locally, physical copy. I better double check and make sure that wasn't a digital copy.
Early in the morning when you're still waking up and haven't had a lot of caffeine, not necessarily the best time to shop. Anyway, let's see here. I had some kind of stupid thread up that seemed like it might be fun to read through. Okay, we'll talk petty things. Yeah, what is your most ridiculous? We won't work out romantically criteria.
The silliest reason you would not be interested in dating someone. We've looked at threads like this before and sometimes they're pretty funny. Hopefully, we don't strike out here.
Alright, the current top answer. Someone I used to work with met a really cool guy, good looking intelligent, a talented musician who worked in music education with deprived kids. She wouldn't date him because he has too many things in his pockets. Alright, yeah, I would, I'd probably be in trouble if my lady wasn't down with having too many things in your pockets. I always have a bunch of crap in my pockets. Like I think someone even, I need to get a new wallet and I need to take just the essential things out of my current one and then keep that with me. Because I know when I introduced Poppy on stage in Salt Lake, I was probably a year ago or so, you know, somebody posted the video of it and someone was making fun of the size of my wallet in my pocket. It is kind of ludicrous and it's filled with mostly stuff that I am not going to use on a regular day.
So yeah, need to get myself a little more compact wallet to put in my pocket. Alright, what are some other ridiculous reasons people say they wouldn't work out romantically with someone? People who rely on AI summaries for important and serious topics. I've talked about Google AI summary. Like it is so inaccurate sometimes. A lot of the time. And it's the first thing that pops up when you Google something.
It's ridiculous. That is going to lead to the hair. Okay, this person, it was the girl's laugh. Said she sounded like a donkey. Alright, if you're not into a bad laugh, I would also be in trouble there with my lady. Glad she puts up with me and doesn't seem to hate my laugh.
Chewing loudly with your mouth open. Alright, I don't know. I don't know if I pay enough attention. I don't think very many people do that. Because I don't recall seeing anybody do that recently. You know, just being a poor speller.
Okay, bad grammar. Yeah, I mean, dumb people. I think if someone's just dumb, that's gonna be a, you know, a deal breaker for me. So I'm glad it isn't for my lady.
She puts up with me and I'm pretty dumb. What do we have here? They can't appreciate and respect tranquility.
So just being able to relax, you know, chill on the beach and just listen to the gentle waves. No, we got a goat on stop. Oh, yeah, having to go nonstop. That's that's no good. This person says my ex fiance told me she didn't find me attractive anymore because I drink warm drinks. That does seem like a pretty petty reason to not want to be with somebody. But I don't like warm drinks.
I don't know. Maybe on the right day, I'd be like, okay, hot chocolate or something. But yeah, hot beverages. Just not my thing. Not my thing. They have that thing where they don't like the taste of cilantro. You wouldn't date somebody because of that. I could let cilantro go. I could, you know, I could pass on that.
Let's see here. Oh, someone who wouldn't date someone because his teeth were not perfectly straight. As someone who's dealt with crooked teeth.
Yeah, I'm not gonna make a big deal out of that one. Here we go again with people that spit in public. Peaches and I were talking about spitting the other day. And he's like, I'm like, is that is that weird to you that people are so bothered by, you know, spitting on the sidewalk? And he's like, I don't spit. He just says he just doesn't spit. Like sometimes you got to spit, right? I mean, if you if you're spitting up like chew or something, sure, I could get that. But just every once in a while, you spit. I mean, I don't think I spit very often.
But I don't know, I just thought that's something that you have to do sometimes. Here's someone who wouldn't date somebody if they didn't like to stay up like you know, I like staying up late. How about you know, someone who just has to be up super early every day? Oh, there are some people out there mourning people. Yeah, they're just up and Adam ready to go. That's not this guy, even though I'm here right now.
But I don't think it would be a deal breaker. My crazy lady dragged me out of bed last Sunday. It's like 6am. I still like her. It was a surprise that I wasn't ready for but I still love her. All right, it's a little after seven. Please let this day go by quickly. Please. I'm done. Done with this work week.
Pussifer and apocalyptic. You know, it never fails if I like put in a song that I'm like, all right, I want to listen to this song myself. I'll put the song in.
And then I'll get a call from somebody who talks to me for the entire song. Thanks a lot, JD. No, just kidding, JD.
It's always good to talk to you. It's just funny. I don't put in songs just for me too often. But every once in a while in the phone will always ring. Always ring. But I'm here doing it live and I'll answer those calls just like I'm gonna during traffic school powered by the advocates coming up and about cheese an hour and a half.
All right, I should probably go make a Facebook post see if anybody has any online questions, things like that. But I can't rely on that. I need to rely on you listening to call in and join us live for traffic school powered by the advocates. If you've never heard that feature, Lieutenant crane of the Idaho State Police joins me on the show. And for about a half hour, we just answered questions about traffic law or whatever you can call and ask us anything. And it's a lot of fun. And it might sound boring.
Oh, ask a cop. That sounds boring. No, it's a fun feature. All right, it's entertaining.
And you should check it out today at 845 and every Friday morning at 845. And I did officially order a copy of Resident Evil nine. I purchased one online at Target pickup.
They had four left. So if you're wanting to get that game, Target in Idaho Falls appears to have it. They appear to have it. We'll see.
I could end up getting a text. Sorry, that item is out of stock. Don't you love that when you buy something? And then all of a sudden it just doesn't come like something you purchase from Amazon or whatever. Sorry, item is out of stock.
It's like, what are you talking about? Wasn't out of stock when I ordered it. Or like you, you know, buy a plane ticket. Sorry, this flight was oversold. What are you talking about? How do you screw that up?
There's only so many seats. Anyhoo, I am now going to spend some time digging up some content to share with you. NJD, I will get your song in the system. It's just going to take me a minute. A little bit frazzled.
I need to drink a little bit more of this energy drink I bought on the way to work because I was rushing to get out of the house and didn't slam down an instant coffee shooter. So lots to do here. Lots to do.
And I need a deep breath. Such a good song tool right in two from the 10,000 days album. It's funny to think back to when that album came out and a lot of tool fans thought it was a decoy album. Like this isn't the real new album.
But can you imagine that being a throwaway album? It's so good. They just slapped this together.
Like what are you talking about? Anyhow, I was just trying to catch up on my Facebook notification and Becca had tagged me in a post from Horror Forever saying, Hereditary has officially been voted the best horror film of the 21st century by horror fans worldwide. Ari Astor's terrifying masterpiece continues to haunt audiences years later, proving it's slow-burned, red, and unforgettable for performances changed modern horror forever.
Now, they don't link to anything showing where horror fans worldwide voted it the best horror film of the 21st century. So I'm not sure where that came from, but man, it's a good movie and I really want to watch it again. It's one of those movies that I think you either love it or just hate it. Like Peach has thought it was terrible. Now, he did not enjoy that movie and to me, it's a masterpiece. Just a masterpiece. But I love that director too. Ari Astor was talking on the Facebook comments with Becca and mentioned we need to watch Midsommar as well, which is another just fantastic movie. But he got me digging.
I'm where did they dig this up? That Hereditary was the best horror film of the 21st century. Now, I mean, I might put it in that position myself.
I don't know. There are so many good horror movies that have come out in the last decade that it's really hard to say, but it's definitely up there. It's one of the best and might be the best. So I figured I'd pull up a few lists of the best horror films of the 21st century and, you know, see, see what we find here. So at the Hollywood Reporter, they did a countdown and they had Hereditary at number 10, which, all right, whatever. But they put the conjuring ahead of Hereditarian. The conjuring is a fun movie, but it is not better than Hereditary.
Now they got Pan's Labyrinth in here, which is another, I'd call it a masterpiece. It's really good. Need to watch that again.
Train to Busan at number seven. Excellent movie. It's so good. If you haven't seen Train to Busan, holy crap, it's fantastic. 28 days later, another classic. Been needing to watch the new ones. All right, have I seen the host?
I don't know if I've seen the host. I recall it popping up on Good Horror List. No Burn Horror Movies, where you just gotta sit back and watch every second. Pulse at number 9, I don't think I ever saw that movie, gonna need to watch it. Cabin in the Woods, great A, Top Tier, that movie is so fun, that's a great movie. Alright, they got the Conjuring at number 7, The Invisible Man at number 6, never saw that one.
BobaDook again, coming in at number 5 on this list at Rolling Stone. I'm gonna have to go back and watch it again, cause it just didn't hit the first time. They've got Let the Right One in on there as well, and you gotta watch the Swedish version with the subtitles. Don't watch the American one, alright?
It's no good. Hereditary at number 3 on the Rolling Stone list. 28 days later, coming in at number 2, and get out at number 1. Alright, we got a caller here, let's see what they got for us. Kay, Bear, you're live on the show, keep that in mind, who's this?
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, It Follows is a really good one.
Speaker 1: You know, that was a little bit higher up on one of the lists I was looking at, but that is a great movie that I've been wanting to watch again.
Yeah, it's pretty terrifying. And I think, I don't know if they've completed filming, but I think that It Follows 2 is supposed to be coming out. Oh, they're doing another one? Yeah, I don't know, it looks like there's been some delays and things like that, but it's in the works.
Speaker 2: And the witch sucks.
Speaker 1: It's a good movie. I'm gonna make you watch it again. It's terrible. I'm gonna make you sit down and watch the whole thing again.
Speaker 2: I'll walk away. I feel like no.
Speaker 1: It's an awesome movie, it's so good. No, it's not. Well, I'm gonna make you sit through the 3-hour director's cut of Midsommar 2. Alright. Be ready, it's horror weekend. No, no, it is horror weekend and video game weekend. But the witch sucks and I'm not gonna watch it. You're gonna watch it again.
Bye. No, it is definitely gonna be a horror weekend with officially purchasing the new Resident Evil game. I hope it's scarier than the last one. Now, Resident Evil 8 was a fantastic game.
It was so good. It just wasn't as scary as part 7. Part 7, utterly creepy. And I really liked that about that game, but when they put out Resident Evil 8, a lot of fans said it was too, you know, 7 was too scary. The game was too scary.
So they toned down the scariness in part 8 and made it a little more action oriented, which was fine. But, no, if you're too scared to play the game, why don't you get, you know? Why don't you man up, oh, video game, too scary for me. Anyway, this new Resident Evil, it's been getting really good reviews.
So it better be really good. Because 70 bucks, the last time I bought a game for $70, I believe was Red Dead Redemption 2. And it might have only been 60 bucks. I don't know, that was a long time ago when that game came out.
I don't buy it. No, it was actually probably Resident Evil 8. It was the last game I bought for full price. So, yeah, horror weekend, horror weekend, coming my way, I hope. I hope.
All right, I'm going to dig up some freak news, and then I'll be back in just a minute, all right? But yeah, check out Hereditary, and regardless of what Becca says, the witch is great. You should watch it.
It is a slow burn. I don't know, if you don't like Hereditary, you're probably not going to like the witch. All right, let's talk about a pleasant topic, death. I was looking at this article about a new collaboration between Spotify and Liquid Death. The Eternal Playlist, Earn. So, it's basically an Earn-shaped Bluetooth speaker, and it can hold remains, but it also plays music.
So, when you pass on, you can go ahead and set up a playlist, and then from beyond the grave, you can just bother your family members with your favorite tunes. Now, it says they've only made 150 of them, and how do you get one? Okay, got to open up some. This looks like a hassle here. It says you got to open up Spotify, answer some questions. Now, it says that this is not available on this device. What, I got to use my phone? I really want to get one of these, all right?
It seems like it would be a fun item to have just sitting around my house. Well, I'll work on that later. Anyhow, I don't know if I'd want to Spotify branded Earn though. You know, Spotify is kind of a scourge on the music industry. They don't pay artists well at all. Your subscription money is basically going to all the big pop superstars, not the artists you listen to. Yeah, you know what? Screw the Spotify Earn.
Even if it is kind of, you know, fun. All right, what else do we have here? Over in Australia, a Sydney water plant has been ordered to clean the Malavar treatment plant, where a fat bird is birthing poo balls.
That's a real headline. Now, a fat bird, we've talked about these before, but it's been a while. A fat bird is an accumulation of a bunch of disgusting stuff in a sewer system, and it generally leads to problems like apparently the birth of poo balls. They believe this fat bird is the size of about four buses, causing overflow into the beach, and these balls of just disgusting sewage are washing up on the beach. Yet another reason to avoid Australia.
That's disgusting. You see some little ball wash up on the beach. Ooh, what's this?
What's this unique item? Gross. Okay, what else do we have here?
Don't pack your students lunch for school with booze. Got a picture here from a... where are we at? This is in Georgia. A Georgia police department photo showing a student's packed lunch. Looks like we've got a sandwich, a bag of Doritos, and then a cut water lemon drop martini can. I don't know how you screw that one up.
I mean, here you go, son. Those are like super strong, too. Yeah. So anyway, I don't think the student cracked it open, but yeah, be careful to not mix up your cans of potent booze with the Capri Sun. All right?
Shouldn't be that difficult, but some people are lousy parents. Geez. Now, this is funny because the article, which is a bunch of bull crap this sentence here, says the South Fulton Police Department released a picture of what, at a quick glance, looked like a normal school lunch. No, at a quick glance, it looks like there's a cut water lemon drop martini in there. They're like, but on closer examination, the aluminum can wasn't juice soda or any other non-intoxicating beverage.
It clearly says in big, bold letters, lemon drop martini. Okay, anyway, what else do we got? Burger King employees, I feel bad for you. Apparently Burger King is putting AI into employees' headsets to monitor whether they say, welcome to Burger King, please and thank you. They're monitoring for friendliness. Yeah, bad enough, you know, being watched by a camera all day, but now literally every word that comes out of your mouth, your headset is listening to you. And on top of just, you know, invading your little bit of privacy you have at work, monitoring to make sure you're friendly. Now, I don't know, they must have a major problem at Burger King with people being rude. I never seem to have a problem with rude employees there. Only here. Have a true way. What's up, peaches?
Speaker 2: Oh, nothing much. I was talking about this stuff yesterday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you told me about this story yesterday.
Speaker 2: I was talking about how fast food workers are just going to quit because they hate this. I specifically also hate the micromanagement.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean, they're listening to every word you say. So if you want to just say something to your friend that you work with, you got to take the headset off and cover the microphone. Right. And just to have a chat with your friend.
Speaker 2: What if a customer pulls up, you know, what if it's one of your close friends that pulls up and does the classic, like, what the is up, my dude? Like that type of thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And then you say something back next thing, you know, you're getting canned because you weren't friendly to your friend. Right. Because you know how we greet each other. Sir, I'm on shift.
Speaker 2: What do you want on that whopper?
Speaker 1: They're like, what's wrong with you? Why are you being a jerk to me? Then you get knocked for friendliness because, you know, the person in the drive-through, the mic picks them up. Would you like fries with that? Oh, man. Yeah, bad time to be a Burger King employee. That's for sure. Well, we'll get back to more stupid news here in a minute. Welcome to Friday, peaches. It's going to be great, isn't it?
Speaker 2: Well, I finished the project yesterday that I was working on.
Speaker 1: Oh, good job. Right on. That'll give me more work to do. Thanks.
Speaker 2: That's why I wanted to bring you up. All right. I was working on another related project with Outlaw yesterday. So I guess I'll be busy all day today. I don't know if I probably won't get to monkey him with that, but you never know. Never know. I might start doing even more of that library and go to the jink show tracks.
Speaker 1: Hey, you know, you might as well. That means fixed up too.
Speaker 2: There's hardly any songs in there that should be an easy breeze. Yeah, yeah, that shouldn't be too bad at all. And I want that show to be the best it can possibly be.
Speaker 1: Heck yeah, absolutely. I was just reading this post online from a guy who's been fighting with his girlfriend about food. Apparently she'd been trying to lose weight for a while. So she's on a fairly strict diet. I guess this guy, he's like Jade just has a fast metabolism, can eat whatever he wants.
And he's still just, you know, rail thin. So he says he requires a lot of calories or he's like, you know, gonna like pass out or get sick or something. So anyway, he had told her, all right, I'm going to leave a little bit early so I can go get some breakfast because she gets mad if he eats in front of her. And then she started yelling at him, you know, oh, good for you. That's what he actually said. Good for you.
You get to eat breakfast and then gave him the silent treatment for the rest of the day. Listen, everybody's bodies work a little bit different. All right. And I have been in a situation where I've been like shamed for what I wanted to eat. Like going out to eat. It's like, oh, that's what you're going to order.
Really? And then it, yeah, it's like a fight. Oh, I got to tell you how great it is to be with somebody who will just let you order what you want at a restaurant, not judge it. You know, and this was simply because, you know, oh, I need to slim down me.
I mean, if you've seen me before, I do need to slim down, but talk about, you know, there's a ruin in being able to go out to eat. You're going to go out and spend money. Food's more expensive than ever. And, you know, let's say all you want is just something gluttonous.
You should be able to go out to eat and enjoy yourself. I wonder what people are saying in the comments. Oh, just pretty much like, well, maybe, you know, you two aren't the best for each other. You know, something like that. Yeah.
Try not to shame other people. Okay. Okay. Not for things like, like that, you know, if, if somebody, you know, you're dating, you know, like their appearance anymore or anything, just break up, quit being rude to them. All right. Let them have a burger, whatever.
Sorry, that one just kind of aggravated me. I had a flashback like, oh, I remember when I used to go out to eat and it was just awful every time. Anyhow, I don't know where I was going to go with this. So I'm going to take a break.
All right. What a show today, huh? Traffic school was pretty fun. Days moving by at a reasonable pace, which I like. Hopefully you've got a weekend ahead like me. Ready to get out of here, but I got five hours to go.
Boo. And I don't know why, but I'm just stuck in this like relationship loop on Reddit. Had another guy asking if he's a jerk because he wants his wife to dress nice occasionally. Says he's been married to her for 15 years and that she's always been a tomboy who likes loose baggy clothes, prioritizing comfort over looks. And he says, most of the time he's perfectly okay with this.
And he thinks she looks great, but every once in a while he's like, hey, why don't you throw on a dress or something? Now, why don't you do yourself up a little bit? Dude. You've been with her 15 years. Like settle down a little bit. He doesn't seem to say that, you know, he's like trying to take her out to a fancy restaurant or something. He just wants her to like dress up around home. Hate to break a T, dude, but you know, she's not your toy. Not a doll you could just play dress up with. Yeah. This is the person she is. And what's wrong with comfort?
I don't know. I'm, you know, I don't even know where I was going to say here, but I think the baggy clothes look is a good look. You know, my girlfriend wears lots of baggy clothes. My wife and I think she looks great.
So settle down, dude. I mean, when she, you know, throws something on that's kind of out of the norm, it's, you know, cool. It's exciting.
It's fun. But dude, I don't know. Sound like another guy who maybe, maybe ain't with the right person there. Well, she don't dress how I want her to dress however you want ladies. All right. And you dudes, you know, I mean, I dress pretty comfortably over baggy clothes, but that's just how I vote.
I'm always dressed. Anyway, I got a like pound caffeine or something to get motivated to crush all the tasks I got to get done today. So wish me luck. Peaches and I'll be back at noon for the noon hour of madness may have appreciate you hanging out with me today. And yeah, we'll talk to you in a bit. Okay.
