#0090 - I guess we're gonna talk about dead people. - 10/28/2024

So what'd you do this weekend? I should have done more chores, but I had a pretty good weekend. Watched a lot of TV, watched some movies, kicked back and relaxed with my lady, and I also went to a show. Went and checked out a local metal show at the heart, a variety of bands playing cover sets for other bands, and it was a lot of fun. You know, always great hanging out with the local metal scene and, you know, checking out the new Hart, they moved to, down on capitol way, I believe, is the road.

Yeah. Just Google it. But much bigger place for shows. It was great. Really like the setup they've got going on in there.

The staff's always wonderful. Got up and did a song. You know, first time I've got up and sang with a band in many years, so that was really fun. And the crowd was so enthusiastic. My homies that were headlining Godbone, they came out and did a well, they never left the stage.

They did some encore songs. It was kinda funny because then I was reading about encores on the internet this morning. You know, why has it become normal for bands to do this? And I think what they need to do as far as encores go is only do them, you know, if the crowd, like, earns it. If they're calling for it.

If people are bored and, you know, because you go to every show and you just expect an encore. Now I've seen a few bands address this and be like, we're not gonna pretend. We're not gonna leave the stage and, you know, pretend that we're done and come back out. We we plan to play our our big hit songs to end the show. So here we are.

But most bands, it's a planned thing. You you know it's coming. And I think the crowd should have to earn it. You know, if the crowd's not all screaming for more songs, just turn on the lights, you know, the overheads and shuffle everybody out. And that might encourage, better crowd participation and enthusiasm at shows.

You know? Just my thought because an encore is definitely more exciting if you feel like you may not have gotten it. You know, some bands might be really good at faking it too. You know, maybe they do every night multiple encores, but I've been at shows where it feels like, you know, the crowd did earn some additional music. So that's where I'm at with that.

Earn it. Earn it, fools. Hey. In case you've been slacking, you've got a few more days to get signed up to win that awesome guitar and amp package with us and No Limit Guitar Company. Yeah.

Gonna draw a winner on Halloween at no limit. Peaches and I will be hanging out there, awarding people prizes galore. The grand prize package in ESP Ltd Aero 200 electric guitar with a PRS Sansera 20 combo amp, $1700 value. But we're giving away a bunch of other stuff with no limit as well. We've got a Yamaha amp, a Fishman acoustic pickup, a ukulele, an overdrive effects pedal.

Lots of really good stuff. So all you've gotta do to get in to win these prizes is sign up in the KayBear or ALT app. And if you wanna get an extra entry, few more days of the big six year anniversary sale going on at No Limit Guitar Company, swing in, buy something, get an extra entry. And if you're lucky, on Halloween, you will be kicking off that holiday with a brand new espltd arrow 200 electric guitar and PRS sons era 20 amp. I know I'd love that prize package.

And even if you don't play guitar, do you got any friends or family who do? Yeah. Christmas is right around the corner. That'd save you some dough. Hook somebody up extra sweet, enter to win, fire up the k bear and all taps, and good luck.

You've got just a few more days to get in on that awesome giveaway. Hope Monday goes by rocket quick for you. Mondays, they're just, you know, not great. Not very wonderful. This should unleash a, crap show.

Over in Florida, a postal worker's been arrested after driving his mail truck to the woods and dumping over 1,000 pieces of mail. Now could be a variety of things going on there because it was all the mail he had, which happened to contain some election mailers and one mail in ballot than, you know, just piles of other mail. So it could be politically charged, or this guy just wasn't having it that day. It's all hot and humid. He's in Florida.

Yeah. So forget it. I'm not gonna go deliver my mail today. They busted him for a couple of reasons. 1, he got back to work way early, and his coworker's like, man, you delivered the mail pretty fast today, Might be suspicious.

But then also, just wanna remind everybody, there are cameras everywhere. K. Everywhere. So there's footage of him dumping the mail in the woods. You know, in this day and age, chances are you're going to be caught on camera doing what whatever kind of terrible thing you're up to.

So he's in a lot of trouble. You know, dump in the mail like that, that's one thing, but I guess if you are dumping things like ballots and interfering with an election, they take that pretty seriously. So he's facing, serious federal charges with severe penalties. Hopefully, again, because of the chance of this just unleashing a crap show, we don't see any more of this kind of stuff because the election's gonna be enough of an aggravation anyway. You know, who knows how long we're gonna have to wait to get the actual results, unless it's like a total landslide in one direction or the other.

But, yeah, we don't need this kind of stuff going on because you can hear whichever side loses screaming about the election being rigged yet again, have to listen to that kind of babble for who knows how many years. You know? Postal workers, just do your job. Alright? We're not even dealing with winter yet.

You know, it shouldn't be too bad to deliver the mail at this point. But again, this was a Florida postal worker. I'm getting all the election mailers at my place. I'll tell you what. By the way, if you haven't followed us on all of our socials, you should.

You know, we're trying to expand, make more and more content, outside of our radio shows, like, you know, YouTube content and things like that. I don't know if you'd find it interesting or not, but I did check out a new video from Lady Gaga this morning, and I recorded my thoughts on it as I was listening to it. Actually, thought it was pretty good. Giving me some of those 9 inch nails vibes. Definitely had a, you know, pop industrial beat going on.

It was pretty cool. Pretty cool. So you you never know. You might be tuned in to our YouTube page and see me reacting to country music videos or something. I don't know.

Just trying to expand. So, yeah. Follow us on YouTube, kbear 101rmg, like riverbend media group, kbear 101rmg, and it's kbear 101fm on all of our other socials, you know, Instagram, Facebook, blah blah blah blah blah. Follow us everywhere because we do our best to keep you entertained everywhere we go. So, yeah, go go do that.

K? Make me feel like making this content is worthwhile. And in the meantime, I'll try to dig up some content for this show. I mean, we're about 15 minutes away from Freak News. Gotta get it together.

Freak News is powered by Greasemonkey, voted Idaho's best oil change morning. Alright. Let's begin with, the danger of selfies, the danger of taking photos, period. We've talked about it before. If you're on the edge of the Grand Canyon, don't ever take a selfie.

You know, if you stumble on the edge of the Grand Canyon, you die. Also, if you are standing next to an airplane with a propeller going at high speed, just don't take any photos next to it. If you happen to back into an airplane propeller, you are going to die as well, like this woman in Kansas did. Backing up into a moving airplane airplane propeller while taking photos. We don't need to get into the grizzly details, but, yeah.

Just be cautious. I don't know how many stories I've done over the years about somebody taking a photo and dying in the process. You know? Standing on the train tracks taking selfies. You you'd think people would know better, but, you know, do it for the gram, and, you know, it's not gonna pay off.

Alright? All the photos in the world on Instagram ain't worth anything if you're just, you know, dead from your efforts. This next story, the woman lived, You know, you gotta be careful out in the woods. Guess she got lost in the woods for 6 days. She was out doing, guess what?

Yeah. Photography. Another photography related incident here. Went out to the woods to do some photography, and then people noticed she hadn't come back, you know, supposed to return the rental vehicle and such. She was in the coast.

How do you say this? Kosciuszko Kosciuszko National Park. She often documented wild horses living in the mountains, so she went out to get some pictures of horses. Instead got bitten by a snake, spent 6 days in the woods, wandering in temperatures as low as 0 degrees. She's alive though.

She's alive. They did manage to find her even though she had been bitten by a snake. And, thankfully, it wasn't a super poisonous snake. What what did they say it was? Well, they said it was a copperhead.

Now is is that a rattlesnake? They say the venom is powerful, can be fatal without medical intervention, so I guess she just got lucky. Yeah. Sounds terrible. For 1, being trapped in the woods for 6 days.

It's gotta be terrifying. But then you get bit by a snake. You've gotta feel lousy from that. And it's just getting worse and worse by by the day. So I'd say if you're gonna go out into the woods, bring a friend.

K? Bring a friend. There are bears. There's mountain lions. There's a lot of reasons.

I don't know. Did she not have a firearm, I guess? You know, firearm versus snake. It's not wonderful, but better than being bitten by a snake. It's just gonna be a hard shot.

What else do we have here? Complaining about tourists. I I don't remember opening that one. Where did all these tabs come from that I've got in front of me right now? Speaking of another way to die, we'll just do all death for freak news.

They have reopened a volcanic site in Iceland after 6 eruptions in a year. This is site in Iceland after 6 eruptions in a year. This is Grindavik, and, they're just warning you if you wanna go check it out. You know, it could erupt again, and nobody's gonna come save you. You might die.

Doesn't sound like the most pleasant way to go being killed by a volcano, whether that's a pyroclastic flow or just, you know, carbon monoxide and smoke. I don't know. There's worse ways, but you could also just not go and visit an active volcano that could erupt and kill you. Go to, I don't know, somewhere where things are a little more settled down. Hawaii?

I I don't know. Anyhow, things to avoid. Photography, I guess, is number 1 on the list. You gonna go take pictures of a volcano? Surprised there wasn't a death story in that one.

Lots of people dying with their cameras right now. Be careful, everybody. Freak news powered by Grease Monkey, voted Idaho's best oil change. Halloween, Thursday. Don't be a moron.

Kate, please be extra cautious. Gonna have kids out on the roadways. I mean, hopefully, kids will stick to the sidewalks. Make sure to look both ways. But Halloween, one of the deadliest days of the year for pedestrians, especially children.

People tend to go, oh, what about the candy? They're putting razor blades in the candy. No. You need to worry about your kids being hit by a car. K.

If you're a driver and you are driving around on Halloween, you really need to keep your act together. Cell phone down. Be vigilant in keeping aware of what is happening around you at all times. K? Let's try to make Halloween as fun and safe for everybody as possible.

What's the weather forecast looking like for Halloween? I hadn't even checked. This last weekend was beautiful. Guess how much yard work I accomplished. Yeah.

None. Do we got a nice week ahead to where maybe I can get some of that done later on? No. No looking like rain today. And then the next few days, it's gonna be chilly.

I have about 48 on Thanksgiving with a low of 30. Make sure to disconnect your hoses outside, things like that. Be aware, freezing temperatures have arrived. Boo. But who knows?

I mean, Thursday is a few days away. It could potentially warm up a little bit more, and that 48 was in the Idaho Falls area. Pokey's usually a bit little bit nicer. Rexburg, potentially worse. But, you know, it it could be even worse.

I don't see the old snow icon popping up, so I got no complaints yet. Just wanna remind everybody to be as safe and cautious as possible with the upcoming Halloween holiday. K? Watch out for the children. Hey.

Just a friendly reminder to not be a piece of garbage to other people. You know, try to be nice, be, you know, supportive. If you're playing video games with a friend and they're not very good at them, don't be rude. Don't, like, yell at them and stuff. If you can't handle a subpar teammate when you're playing video games, you need to just let your friends and family know, hey.

I'm a serious gamer, and I can't play with other people. I was reading a bunch of, posted texts online from some guy messaging his girlfriend who she just isn't as good at this video game they're playing as him, and I can't even read them because they're they're so bad. But, yeah, it seems pretty unnecessary to me. It's just a video game, dude. You know, if you're engaging in competitive play, that that's one thing and you probably don't just bring random people along with you.

But if you're just playing for fun, oh, well. Get over it. Settle down a little bit. Just try to Video games are supposed to be fun. Try to have a little bit of fun.

You know, take it from a guy who Like, if I play a first person shooter with my kids, they laugh at me. They know I'm terrible, but they're not, you know, thoroughly insulting like this. You know, it's more about a jokingly, insulting, which is one thing, but just being rude. Messed up. Very messed up.

So just a Monday reminder, people are a little bit stressed right now. We're heading into the winter months. Just try to be nice. Last chance to get in on that drawing for an awesome guitar and amp package from Nolan Guitar Company. Tell you what, you can never have enough guitars.

We're gonna draw winners on Halloween. Good luck. Idaho's pretty cool. Yeah. Way better than some of those towns in the Midwest.

Dude, the Midwest, I think, by a lot of people, is very overrated from my experience. Especially this small little town. This place never left COVID. Quincy. Yeah.

Welcome to Quincy. I'd never even heard of Quincy. You're not missing much. No? No?

Okay. Now what's the the big thing to do in Quincy? Leave. Because people are driving. I was trying to find that.

There's nothing. There's nothing, Yeah. Oh, that's very sad. Well, you do Unless you like, I don't know, manufacturing type jobs. Oh, that's what you do for fun.

Work. Yeah. Do they have the the one town bar that everybody hangs out at? I think I found that on the last night and then when I got there, I realized that everyone was related to everyone. I'm like, yep.

This is a interesting place. Dude. Yeah. There are a few towns like that where you roll into the bar and, yeah, you always wanna be under your best behavior because the Klan, the family Yeah. The whole bar will attack you.

And half of them were the the police station and the other half were like the manufacturing workers. So it's just like, what's happening here? Quincy. I don't know why the name of that sounds something like that. They got this like redneck thing mixed with some boss by Baston.

Baston. That's a weird It was a very strange accent. Well, you told me they had an awesome rock radio station. So I was trying to find out Go to the the radio locator website. Okay.

I'm on it right now. And then the only one that actually says rock. Okay. So there's kzzk1059? That was it.

Okay. Let's see who this is. The bear? The Grizz? Yep.

The Grizz. The Grizz. Hey. That's pretty metal. The Grizz.

Alright. See if I know anybody on their, staff. Oh, they call their staff Airheads. I like that. Okay.

So they have the Bob and Tom show in the morning Which is terrible. The it is a terrible show. Now is this an active rock station? They they claim that. Why would you put Bob and Tom on an active rock station?

Bob and Tom are they should be on oldies at this point. Not even classic rock. They should be on oldies. Straight oldies. Just like you.

Now listen. I'm not that Oh, boy. Move, fella. Hey. I even went to a concert the other night, and I was up till, like, 2 AM.

Oh, good to see you. That I was wild in jade. I stayed up late. It was it was actually a really fun show. The heart moved to a bigger building.

I heard that. And, I really like their new setup. There were a variety of local metal bands that were playing sets as, other bands. So, like Dan's band, God Bone, they played a set of Hatebreed songs. Oh.

And, I'm trying to remember who else. There was a band that played a set of Minor Threat songs and a band that played a set of Mortician songs, which was an interesting choice. But I got up. I did a Hatebreed song with, God Bone. That was fun.

I actually screamed pretty good, so I I was happy. But okay. Let's see. We got the original grizzlies. They do a noon to 3 show Heather and rock dog.

Look at rock dog there with the hat sideways. He's really old and it's rock, R a w k. Like the hawk dog Hawk dog. That's Justin's new nickname. You ain't gonna like it?

Hawk dog. For sure. Alright. Paul Erickson in the morning. Let's see.

He he's got a faraway picture of himself yelling at a sign that says quiet zone. I can't tell if I recognize him from that far away. You've got Heather doing the, afternoon shift and then the Griz night shift, which it looks like there is not an airhead. It's probably just music. Well, but then they have jock free rock on Saturday Sunday from 9 AM to all day on the weekends.

Don't tell peaches about that. I found this station in Quincy, Illinois that there's no weekend shows. On going there. There you go. The dream come true.

Quincy, Illinois, man, where they see see no value in the jocks. Oh, that place. Can you can you see their playlist? Does it have a recently listened to? Because it it was not good.

K. Right now, lit my own worst enemy's playing. I wanna see the previously played. Okay. So 5 finger death punch.

So okay. This is weird. 5 finger death punch, lift me up, came after rat, lay it down, and then oh, they have all of their, like, imaging or promos in the they need to set their settings so that these are not set as songs. Like, well, we had weather and weather, and here's all the names of all our commercials. You got Walmart, Manchester Tank, radio gets results, popcorn bourbon 20 24.

What's that? Some kind of a Quincy festival? Dude, their their player sucks. Okay. So before rat, Motley Crue.

Mhmm. Yeah. You were mentioning that their, their playlist is not set up very well for, artist separation. You would not wanna play rat and Motley Crue back to back. Yep.

So, Collective Soul Shine, Whitesnake before that. What is up with this station? Yeah. It And that's as far back as it goes because all the slots are filled with commercials. And I must have found like a godsmack block or something because they played 3 godsmacks tunes in a row.

Yeah. I mean, it looks like there are not any rules in place. They just kinda schedule it. Like, hey, the scheduler work. We've seen this.

Yeah. Yeah. Where people don't put the rules in the scheduler and they're like, alright. Easy. Or they're just doing it on paper.

Yeah. No one's scheduled. This day is perfect. Here's a nice block of, we'll do Nirvana followed by Stone Temple Pilots followed by Sound Soundgarden and Alice in Chains. Alright.

I think I heard one just like that too, actually. Probably. The Griz. Alright. Well, how about Saint Louis?

Did you listen to, their rock station, k she? Nope. As I was in Saint Louis, I was just trying to find where I was going. And then once I got there, I was out of the car. Oh, okay.

Yeah. I mean, I guess you didn't go to the hotel room and fire up the alarm clock. I can't wait to check out the local rock radio station. Then I wandered around Saint Louis by myself. Yeah.

Did you find anything cool there? There's a pretty fun little speakeasy and then the arch was cool as well. Oh, yeah. The one tourist spot in Saint Louis as well? Yeah.

Now, did you feel unsafe? Because I always read that Saint Louis is the most dangerous city in America. You you know me. I wander around anywhere. I don't care.

I know. I'm the same way. I've been to a lot of places that they're like, don't go here. I didn't feel it any different than, like, downtown Salt Lake City. Okay.

Just just curious because I'm sure if you're dumb and go, let's go down that dark alley where there's people like mean bugging you. Hey, fellas. What's up? I ain't Hey, where do you guys find Idaho? Then, yes, I'd probably be bad, but Alright.

Well, cool. I'm glad the trip went well. Not a lot to report from around here. It was just yet another week. The weather was pretty decent for the most part, and now it's gonna turn to crap.

So yeah. Yeah. About that. You're excited about it. Oh, yeah.

Definitely. Did you get all your yard work all all done that needs to be? No. I saw leaves on the trees. They haven't even fallen yet.

I blew my leaves to the sides of the yard again. So if, you know, we get dumped on before I decide I need to get out there with a rake and rake them onto, like, a tarp and drag them out to the curb, at least, yeah, they'll be under the trees. They'll be fine. The yard itself, the grass won't die. So that that's good enough.

Yeah. Right? And, you know, the essentials are put away in the shed. The faucets are disconnected. No hoses.

There you go. I'm good. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway.

Well, welcome back, Jade. I hope you have a wonderful week around here playing catch up and, don't give me any additional work. K? I'm gonna send you to Quincy. No, please.

Not Quincy. Find me somewhere a tiny bit more fun. What's a tiny bit more fun than Quincy? Hannibal. It's right across the river.

Hey. It's got a a name. Hannibal. That's where the grizz is. That's where the grizz is.

Hannibal. They'll eat your brain. You ever seen the movie Hannibal? Oh, yeah. It's great.

Okay. It it is pretty good. So at least it's got a a horror movie name. Good for Halloween. Why do I have so many dead people stories popping up?

Human remains found in Tempe man's freezer. Yeah. Guess, neighbors reported it. My neighbor got a body in his freezer. How do you find that out?

You know, did, neighbors pop over and be like, I don't know, go steal chunk of meat from that guy. This meat don't look like the kind of meat I wanna eat. Or did he just show him? Check it out. Look what I got in my freezer.

So a cop show up, and they're like, you know, we've got a report that you have a body in your freezer. And he's like, well, you you can't? Look. And then he did mention in passing that his father had passed away 4 years ago, So they found a skeleton, and they say the identity cannot be confirmed. It might be, his dad is what it sounds like.

He is arrested for concealment of a body, which is a felony, and failure to report death, which is a misdemeanor. Let's see. Neighbors say that his house caught fire last year. Crews are current or it's currently under construction with crews going in and out. Maybe someone who worked for the, you know, the rebuilding crew found it.

They're like, man, I could use a popsicle. It's really hot out here in Tempe. And, they they did not find the type of popsicle they were hoping for. I don't know for sure, but, you know, you wonder about your neighbors. Right?

Like, there are some of my neighbors that I see outside all the time. I talk to them and such. But there's other neighbors that I'm like, who lives there? Why don't I ever see people in or out of that house? What's going on around here?

What are they building in there? Well, long as their freezers are stocked with normal things, I guess we're okay. Alright. School's been in session a couple months now and starting to have some school related stories popping up. Somebody posted online asking, you know, hey, what do you guys think about this local high school refusing to teach Hamlet because it's too difficult to understand?

I don't know where this school is. It's somewhere. But they said, I think this mentality is just oof. Older books can be harder to read, but there are treasures in them. There are treasures in them that are worth searching for.

I remember pushing past my first Jules Verne, finding a thrilling story in worlds of adventure that were totally worth getting used to the older language. But, yeah, just not happy about it. What makes it worse is the teacher said she was personally confused when she read it at a college level. Bruh, I don't know. Alright.

I've talked about Shakespeare before. I don't think anybody should be forced to read, Shakespeare. K? You you find some junior high kid and get him to try to read that. Even if you prep him for it, you have him read some other stuff written in the same fashion or ex explain the history.

Like, I could understand teaching a little bit of Shakespeare, you know, as far as the historical significance. But, man, to try to make a kid force their way through a full fledged Shakespeare play, they're a nightmare to read. They're not fun. They're unpleasant. You gotta be a unique type of person to really get into reading Shakespeare.

Alright? I'm not that guy. I always hated reading Shakespeare. Did it help me read more difficult material? I don't know.

I could see someone being forced to read Shakespeare going, I hate books now. I'm never reading anything again. I could see it. Why don't they bust out some fun reading material in school? We should buy we should be trying to encourage students to read.

And when you plop down Shakespeare in front of them, they're not gonna wanna read after that. Alright? Unless they're, again, that very unique type of personality that is like, oh, this is very artistic and classic. I am moving into only the realm of historical literature, the classics. At this point, there's stuff that I read when I was young that is like old school classics.

You're in high school, let them read Carrie by Stephen King. There we go. Nice, story of the woes of high school. I don't know. There there's tragic and terrible things that happen in Shakespeare books.

Are Shakespeare I I really gotta get over to the library and see what books are now in the adults only section. I mean, there's murder in Hamlet, isn't there? Hamlet, death. Oh, yeah. There there's some, some violence in that book.

That's for sure. Mhmm. Pretty bad. What about, you know, a little bit of whoopie? Let's see here.

Yeah. Yeah. You got Hamlet's gotta be in the adult section. Mhmm. Anyway, anyway, these parents are all upset about it.

I really don't think it's a big deal. And the article goes on, yeah. There's kids. They just struggle to read. Reading comprehension's not as high as it was.

Well, one, they're banning a lot of books in school that were books we had to read growing up. 2, the type of books you generally have to read in school don't encourage reading outside of school and giving book reading as homework. Like, there are so many different angles that turn books into an unlikable medium for entertainment. I really think that the way books are handled in school is a problem. You've gotta make it fun.

Alright? Like, you're never gonna be able to make math fun. It's just never gonna happen. But with books, you could make it fun. There are countless great books that are fun to read.

But, no. Here's here's Hamlet. Or what were some of the other ones? Homer's Odyssey. Did you have to read that in school?

It was horrible. Horrible. And I like to read. I like to read. But, jeez, it's 2024.

K? Leave the classic literature to college courses where you learn about classic literature. Let's try to get kids to actually read. Give them Harry Potter or something. Those books are well written.

There's gotta be a lot of teen books that are well written. I I don't know. I can think of countless books that are not teen books. You give them, you know, something from the adult section that is just quality storytelling. Let them read that.

Get that Shakespeare out of here. Go try to reach some Shakespeare. Telling you. And now I got a teacher calling you all at me, I bet. Hang on here.

K, Bear, you are live on the Victor Will show. It's Monday, so forgive me and keep it in mind that you're live. Who's this? This is Jay. Crazy Jay, what's your favorite Shakespeare?

Say it was probably, isn't it Romeo and Juliet, or is that That that's a very adult book. Definitely in the, adult Yeah. Section. It's got, Yes. That is.

Various themes that are inappropriate for the youth. Awesome. Yeah. So what's What do you think about that you do not you know, of course, some things won't be read by teen kids, but, do you think any book should be against, teen cat read? Do I think any like, the teenagers should not be allowed to read certain books?

Yeah. I guess it depends what age and the mental state of your particular child. See, this is what makes me mad about the whole libraries thing and banning books. I think it's up to the parents to know their children, determine what level of books they, you know, should be reading based on their intelligence level and their demeanor. And if you're unsure as a parent, you read the book yourself and then go, okay.

Yes. You can read this because there may have been books that I would let my kids read that I could see why other parents wouldn't wanna let them. But I, you know, thought my kids were mature enough, you know, at a young teenage age to read that stuff. I think I gave them both a copy of Stephen King's Carrie when they were pretty young, and that that book's definitely got some wild stuff in it. So now Now you want you want parents to actually read what their children are reading?

Yeah. It's called being a parent. Yeah. That, you know, there's an easy solution, an easy solution to all these issues. You be a parent and, be involved in your kid's education.

Maybe, you know, take a look at what they're doing in their spare time and review the content. It's kinda like if your kid has a phone, maybe look at it every once in a while and see what they're doing. But parents, they it seems like a lot of parents have decided, no, the government needs to take care of things that happen with my kids. So let's just make a bunch of dumb rules, and then I don't have to, you know, take any responsibility. So, yeah, that's what I say.

Pick up if you're unsure, why don't you pick up the book and read it, and then you give your kids the thumbs up or thumbs down? You know, it's like No. That's not the American one. It's like like when Grand Theft Auto 5 came out. Yeah.

You know, I played the game. I was like, okay. I'm not gonna let my kids play that. That's out of control. But then they reached a certain age, and I'm like, okay.

I guess now you can. Yeah. I know it's amazing, you know, that you could be involved in paying attention to what your kids are doing, but it is possible, everybody. You can do it. You can do it.

You have it in you. So, anyway and if you really wanna punish your kids, if you really wanna punish your kids, you just make them read Shakespeare. There you go. Yeah. They're getting into reading material.

You don't think they should be. Well, now you gotta sit down and read Shakespeare. And then, but then you have to read Shakespeare's notes of the Oh, that's right. Don't they have those cliff notes where you can, like, read through, and it'll just explain what that babble says, and you can go, oh, clearly, I understood every word of this, you know, poetic drivel. I you know, you're an advanced reader.

Sorry. I'm just not a fan of Shakespeare. Oh, I did like the Leonardo, reversion of Shakespeare, of, Romeo and Juliet. Let's see if I could find a sample of Hamlet here. Last night of all, when yon the same star that's westward from the pole had made his course to illume that part of heaven, where now it burns Marcellus and myself, the bell then beating 1.

But who talks that way? That's a dude talking to somebody else. They don't talk that way anymore. They used to at one time. It would have been the worst time to live listening to people babble on like this.

And it's almost Well, do you hear the music from back then? The music? Yeah. It sucked. I well, it's not gonna be as good as now.

That's for sure. Because we're living in the best time ever. That cannot. At least the whisper goes, so our last king whose image even but now appeared to us was, as you know, by Fortinbras of Norway, there too picked on by a most amulet pride, dared to the combat in which our valiant Hamlet foresew this side of our known world esteemed him did slay this Fortinbras. Why couldn't he be like, like, Hamlet, kill that fool.

You see that? He killed him dead. Yeah. You remember Fortinbrath? Hamlet killed him.

Pretty wild, dude. Anyway, I I should become the official translator for 20, 24 Shakespeare. Oh, that was shot. Half in the skirts of Norway here and there sharked up a list of lawless resolute for food and diet to some enterprise that half a stomach int, which in no other asset doth well appear to unto our state, but to recover of us by strong hand and terms compulsory to those forsaid lands. So by his father lost in this, I take it is the main motive of our preparations.

What's that mean? That means that it would have to pay attention to the dribble. I think it was, I think I'm hungry. I think I got some I'm hungry in there or something. I did see food.

The only way you have to actually think of it sort of in reverse. Oh man. Some of these are such long, just babbles here. It just goes on and on. Can you imagine trying to memorize this to be in a Broadway play?

Be terrible. Oh, God. Jeez. Is it have to talk normally after that? Yeah.

I'm gonna close this window. It hurts my brain. So anyway, appreciate the call. Crazy Jay. Hope you have a good week, man.

Okay. I hope you guys do too. Right on. Thanks, man. See you.

Alright. Bye. The latest from spirit box soft spine, a track you're only gonna hear here on Cabare as far as radio goes. They're getting weaker all the time. Jade showed us the station, the Grizz earlier.

The Grizz. Boy, was that a sad playlist? Ugh. Who doesn't want a little bit of metal in the morning for breakfast? Not like eating shards, you know, ground up aluminum or something.

Nah, just play a metal music. I just don't understand. I don't know. Maybe they're all like me, and they're sitting around on a Monday listening to pop tunes to start their day. It's what I have to do.

It's part of my job. Gotta figure out the new music for z 103. But I did check out one track that I thought was pretty good. That would be the new one from Lady Gaga. It's called disease, and it's definitely a pop song.

But it's got some it's got some 9 inch nails vibes going on with the melodies and such. And I kinda like that because I love 9 inch nails. So gonna have to get that one in rotation on z, and I'm also throwing together a reaction video to the song. The full reaction's up. I'll throw the the short.

Just kinda playing a little sample and my thoughts on the the 9 inch nails vibes. But, yeah, keep an eye on our socials for that.
