#0103 - Idaho's creepiest town featured in an episode of X-Files! (Yep, it's Burley) - 11/20/2024

So yesterday, I'm hanging out here doing my work thing, and I had some very tedious, just time consuming work to get done after the show. It involved sitting at my computer working on clocks. Now clocks are a radio thing. I won't get into the details, but it's very time consuming. The good part is it is one of those rare times when I'm not working on audio here so I can actually listen to some music or something while I work.

You know, I listen to the playlist we've got going during the show, but haven't thrown on a full new album in a while. So yesterday, I sat down, finally listened to the new poppy album, which is really good. I think it's probably the best poppy album since I disagree. I I really like it. I also listened to the new Devin Townsend album, power nerd, and it was pretty good.

I mean, Devin Townsend never puts out anything bad, you know, but it was for Devon Townsend, I'd call it okay. You know? It it didn't completely blow my mind. There were a couple really good songs. Poppy, I think I enjoyed for whatever reason just a little bit more.

So if you're looking for something outside the box to check out, wanna hear some new music, anywhere you can find full albums, check out the new poppy. Check out the new Devon Townsend as well. Like I said, it's it's still really good. It's Devin Townsend. You know, I just at least on one listen, wouldn't put it, like, at the top of his catalog, but it it was still a great listen, and I'm gonna give it another.

So yeah, they say as you get older, you know, once you hit about 30, you stop getting into new music, and I'm so glad that my brain doesn't work that way. I love hearing new music. So if you're into new music, you're honestly listening to a a pretty good spot to pick up new music. Peaches plays a brand new song every day during the old 5 o'clock hour with it's so new. And I throw new music on the show when I get it as well.

So yeah. If you like new tunes, k Bear, well, we do our best to unveil all of that stuff for you as it comes our way. Will we get any new music today? I don't know. I haven't, checked my email.

So maybe I'll go do that. And if I got something good and new, I'll play it for you. Alright. We'll be back. So I'm still finding the end of daylight saving time to be annoying.

I don't know if I'll ever adjust to it at this rate. It's like, come on. It's been weeks. What's my problem here? It's just the getting dark out so early.

Yeah. It it feels like even for me who gets out of work when it's still light out, it's like there is no day anymore. I just wake up, go to work. I'm home. And all of a sudden I'm back here.

I don't know what the deal is. Could be worse though. You could live on the edge of a time zone. Like when I was in Nevada and it was getting dark at, like, 4 or even worse, you could live in Alaska where there are areas right now where they're about to enter into, like, 2 months of no sunshine. That's why I say all of these arguments against just making daylight saving time permanent or or garbage.

Alright? People like, oh, but the kids are gonna have to go to school and start outside. There's lots of places in the country where kids have to go to school when it's dark outside due to the fact that we get rid of, daylight saving time. Well, would it make a difference? Let's see.

You fall back, so however light out it was, exam anyway, in Alaska, they do everything while it's dark. And if they can survive, so can we. I just don't wanna have to deal with the, adjustment in the future. You know? Throws me off.

I think I'm just looking for any excuse to go, you know what? I should go back home and go to bed. It was so comfy in there. When it gets cold like it is today, nothing like just staying in bed. Right?

It it's frigid out there, or at least my house sure felt frigid. Yeah. It's like 13 degrees. Boo to that. Could be worse, though.

Could be worse. And it's supposed to warm back up in the next few days. So, yeah, get through today. We'll be all good. Was just reading through some people complaining about f one racing in the Las Vegas subreddit.

Yeah. I forgot they had implemented a track in, Vegas prior to going down there for that concert I went to couple weeks ago. And I gotta say as a tourist, the f one track setup at some areas was so annoying just because they blocked everything off. You know? If you wanna see these cars go by in the blink of an eye, you better pay lots of money.

Yeah. I would imagine that it gets to be an aggravation for the people who live there because they use, you know, the the main roads in, Vegas in the area of the strip. So everything's gonna shut down when they I I don't know how often they have these races. I would enjoy going and seeing an f one race, but it's a little out of my budget. Can't afford to do so.

So anyhow, just be forewarned if you go there, check your dates. This is a lesson I learned with that trip a couple weeks ago. You gotta check for major events in Vegas because if something like the CEMA show is going down, everything is going to be completely outrageous, super busy. It was crazy what we had to pay to stay at a not so fancy casino, which is normally, like, $30 a night. More like 200.

So if you're planning a trip, even if there's a big event, like, I don't know, sick new world, Make sure there there are no other bigger events happening because you're gonna pay. You will pay. Lots of conspiracy theories floating around about the Mike Tyson, Jake Paul fight. If you watched it, you could probably understand why. Didn't seem like Mike Tyson was throwing punches like you would think he would.

Based on those training videos that we're making the rounds, he sure seemed to have had lots of opportunities to charge in and just pummel Jake Paul, but seemed to be holding back. Well, there are a variety of people in the news saying, oh, there was a contract clause. No uppercuts from Mike Tyson. Now this is all obviously alleged, but NFL Hall of Famer Michael Irvin thinks the fight was a ruse, and he claims a a clause in the contract prevented, Jake Paul from getting hit. Yeah.

Saying there's a clause that Tyson couldn't go all out. Did you see a single Mike Tyson uppercut? No. I mean, it was one of the most disappointing fights of all time to watch. I mean, it could just be Tyson's old, but I don't know.

As I was watching it, I really saw a number of, you know, perfect opportunities for Tyson to lay into Paul, and he he just didn't. Thankfully, the matches before that were really good. They were really good, top quality boxing. But, man, Jake Paul is just so cringe, is he not? Well, anyway, that's what's making the rounds.

We'll never find out. We'll never find out if, you know, it was a ruse. People have said that about a 1,000,000 fights in the past, but, you know, it's still in the news. Earlier, I mentioned that I sat down and listened to the new Poppy album yesterday. It's really good.

Let let's hear another song from it we haven't played on air before. This one's called push go. Alright. We're living in weird times. You know, metal does not get a lot of respect or recognition.

You know, talk about it often enough here on the show, how rock radio is just deathly afraid of the metal. Well, Jimmy Kimmel isn't. Didn't expect to see this in the news. Knocked loose to perform on the Jimmy Kimmel show November 26th. Now I believe Jimmy Kimmel, is he out of New York?

Anyway, if you're a super fan, you can RSVP to get tickets. They're doing an outdoor minishow, and it's gonna be, broadcast on Jimmy Kimmel Live. That's next Tuesday, and it looks like, they film in LA. So, if I was in LA, I would definitely have to go to knock to lose on Jimmy Kimmel, but that should be pretty fun to watch. I mean, when you think back to metal bands on late night TV, what do you got?

Slipknot on Conan? That's about all I all I can think of. You know, broadcast TV, not generally very kind to the world of metal, but, hey. If knocked loose is getting on Jimmy Kimmel, what's next? What's next?

Slaughter to prevail on, Jimmy Fallon? Now that would be pretty funny because it I don't know. Jimmy Kimmel seems to have a little bit more attitude than Jimmy Fallon. I Jimmy Fallon seems like he'd be terrified of a band like knocked loose, but who knows? Maybe he's a super fan.

Maybe he's a big fan. So, anyway, that's going down on Tuesday. Enjoy. Thanksgiving's coming up. We're about a week away.

If you're looking for something really classy for your Thanksgiving meal, Well, do I got a product for you. Irvine Winery in Kansas has teamed up with Pizza Hut to create tomato wine, capturing the essence of your favorite slice in every sip. Made from juicy, ripe tomatoes infused with natural basil, offering an aromatic blend of fresh herbs and spices with rich sun ripened tomato notes and a subtle hint of toasted oak, reminiscent of a perfectly baked pizza crust. They're saying it just tastes like, white wine, but yeah. You know, if you wanna class it up for Thanksgiving, go to Irvine winery.com/pizzahut.

Alright. What are they selling Pizza Hut wine for? I gotta find out here. Yes. I am 21.

Okay. $25. K? They did have a gift box that included 2 Pizza Hut wine glasses and a bottle opener, but that's sold out. So you can only get the wine, $25 for a, 375 milliliter bottle.

It would look pretty funny on the shelf, would it not? Alright. There you go. You're welcome. Well, looks like the transportation department in Boulder, Colorado has its work cut out for it.

They got a rough job here having to remove vulgar street signs. People have been putting these up under speed limit signs, and I think these are great. I think they're awesome. But, oh, they're not very friendly, and they have naughty language. We can't have the children seeing this.

Like, here's one speed limit 35, then speed limit. Get off your darn phone. They didn't say darn, but you know, Jade gets mad. So, speed limit 45. Don't kill any kids today.

You know, it's not a cheery message, but it gets the point across. Speed limit 35. Speed limit slow the blank down. We appreciate what everybody's trying to do to, you know, get the word out about watching for children while you're driving, but we just can't have this kind of naughty language. Yeah.

They're calling it criminal tampering. Yeah. This is a crime to put up these signs. I mean, I've seen people put up signs like slow, you know, children at play, stuff like that. What makes a difference if it's got a little bit of bad language?

I've seen people flying flags from the back of their vehicles and right out in front of their homes that have foul language right here in East Idaho. And we're as conservative as it gets. So why not implement these kind of signs around here? I think they're attention getting, get people talking. I think they'd be way more effective than your basic boring speed limit signs.

Yeah. If you're driving down the road and you see don't kill any kids today on the side of the road on a sign, it's gonna get your attention. Right? Like anything else, people would see it a bunch of times and then it would just be yet another landmark that nobody pays attention to. But I do think it's fun.

I don't think boulders should be taking them down. I think they should put them up everywhere, all over town. Are you looking for some cheap housing? Italy might be where it's at. Not the first time I've heard of this place, Sardinia.

Throwing out the opportunity for people to score themselves. $1 homes? Now they're gonna need a little bit of work, but they're kinda marketing this toward people who are fed up and they're they're done. They need to leave America. You know, this happens every election no matter who wins.

Half the people in the country, oh, it's not the results I wanted. I'm leaving for a buck. I mean, this town looks pretty nice. I'm looking at the images here of Sardinia. You know, you got some nice green mountains.

Looks pretty beautiful there. Now they don't have the list of properties available yet, but But I think they only go up to about a $105,000. So, you know, depending on how much work they need, could be a pretty good deal. Could be a pretty good deal. The only issue I have with, moving overseas is how do you get your, stuff over there?

You know, I got a lot of stuff. I don't wanna get rid of my stuff. Okay. Anyway, just letting you know, if you wanna check out their website, live in o l l o l a I. Ololai.

Ololai. It's in Sardinia. Alright. And, again, it looks very nice there. But I'm not very handy, so I guess I'm stuck here.

Alright. What else do we have? Delta to shirt serve Shake Shack burgers on flights? Dude, I mean, like, I like Biscoff cookies. K?

And pretzels are okay. But Shake Shack burgers oh, it's only for 1st class passengers. You deserve a burger if you're gonna pay those prices, I guess. But, man, that's kinda messed up. Serving the 1st class passengers, you know, Shake Shack.

Well, everybody else behind them has to mow down. Nothing but Biscoff cookies. Half a can of soda with ice. Very disappointing. Very disappointing.

Let's see. Man camping in Amazon rainforest wakes up to find 10,000,000 ants tearing apart tent. Yeah. That's why you don't go camping in the rainforest. Alright.

Guy wakes up to leafcutter ants ripping apart his tent. Lucky they weren't ripping him apart. I am just trying to sleep, and I started hearing hearing all this racket. Oh, these tearing sounds. Yeah.

They're carrying the nylon away into the night. He's trying to dismantle his tent and build their, I don't know, their ant city. Oh, man. Oh, he's got video of it. I I don't wanna see video of this guy getting surrounded by ants.

Alright? Camping, I tell you. The only way to do it with a camper. But even then, I found some weird bugs and spiders in my camper after I get back from camping. It's like, oh, I was sleeping with that.

That's great. Finally, we all end on a, nice cheery note here with a Russian ballet star. Latest Putin critic to die in a fall from building. It's been, preliminarily is that a word? Ruled to be an accident.

Yeah. You know, professional ballet dancers are not very coordinated. So, you know, falling out of the window of a building, you know, it it sounds sounds totally logical for, you know, somebody who's into that type of career. Jeez. You know?

Could complain about our them is not gonna get you chucked out of a building. Yeah. At least not yet. Hopefully, that's not in the, American future. Yikes.

Anyway yeah. Don't move to Russia. Russia is truly terrifying. I still can't believe that potato news today dot com is a real website, but it is. And every once in a while, since it's potato news today.com, we get some somewhat local news.

Apparently, US buyers suing potato processors and potatoes USA over an alleged price fixing scheme. 4 of the largest potato processors in the US accused in a pair of new lawsuits of conspiring to overcharge grocery stores, other commercial buyers, and consumers for years. You know how them tater tots got to be all outrageous? I just want some tots, man. Come on.

These used to be my my cheap frozen easy meal. Tots. Now what? $5 a bag? It's ridiculous.

Well, anyway, a number of these are local companies. Right? Lamb Weston, Simplot. Then you got, McCain Foods, Cavendish Farms. I'm not sure where all of these are from, but, yeah.

This is what's being alleged, that they, competitively or shared competitively sensitive data with a third party industry group that provided market snapshots and that disincentivized the companies from competing. Just, hey. Check it out. Here's what's going on. Let's jack up the price.

We we've read a lot about, you know, price fixing for things like groceries and stuff like that. Well, maybe this is one way to bring things back down. Start unleashing the lawsuits. Yeah. Anyway, you know, this is just what's being alleged.

Well, it looks like they're taking a look at maybe doing a consumer class action lawsuit as well. Here you go. Here's your $5 for overpaying for potatoes. Alright. Anyway, that's what's new in the world of potatoes.

You know? Gotta keep it local sometimes. Well, we talk about Australia often enough on this show. It's a weird place with weird creatures. And not only do you have to worry about the weird creatures being out there, like the funnel web spider, the world's most venomous spider, But the Australian reptile park zoo is like, hey.

We need more of these. Why don't you catch them for us? Yeah. Imagine if there was a campaign to catch, I don't know, black widow spiders and things like that. Just doesn't sound like my idea of a good time.

Now they use these spiders to create life saving and a venom because people in Australia get bitten by these spiders and die. So can you imagine? Alright. I'm gonna help people. I'm gonna help the people of Australia.

We're going on a spider catching spree, and then you get bit and you die. You're like, listen. All you need is a jar. K? It's not a big deal.

You just need a jar. It can't crawl up glass, so you you just gotta get it in that jar. Anyway, I'm looking at a picture of a funnel web spider here. This is hideous. They're they're big and they're scary, and I don't like it.

I don't like it one bit. But if you're into that kind of thing, I don't know. You might be able to make a job out of it. You know? I can't imagine there are tons of volunteers.

Maybe you become Australia's spider catching guy or gal. Just throwing it out there. You know, I know people are looking for looking for work. Gotta put up with Australia, though. Good luck.

Do they have these WAG bags on local hiking trails? I think they should. I think they should. And I think anybody with a horse should have to use them as well. Like, if you've been up the Palisades Creek Trail before, I'm sure it's much nicer to take a horse up the trail and just sit all the way up to the upper lake.

But not all of us have horses, so we gotta trudge. And you tend to be trudging through a bunch of horse crap. Well, in other areas, you're also dealing with human waste. So at Colorado's highest peak, Mount Elbert, volunteers from the Colorado 14ers 14ers? Yeah.

14ers initiative Just hung out and gave out wag bags. These are bags for you to, yeah, you know, scoop with the poop so that, you know, people hiking don't have to encounter that because nobody wants to see that. You're out and enjoying the great outdoors and, smell that fresh air. Oh, what is that? I mean, I'm sure that it's not great having to walk around with a bag of dookie in your backpack.

But you you gotta think about everybody else. K? Either that or you need to pack a small shovel with you, and you need to dig a hole. K? That stuff should not be encountered while you're out just enjoying your time in the woods.

Alright? I don't wanna see it. Nobody else does either. So I think you should invest in a wag bag. That's what I think.

Shouldn't be up to groups to have to hand them out as a responsible hiker. Pack it in and pack it out as they say. K, Bear. What's happening? Hi.

I was just listening to you on the radio, and you're talking about the WAG bags and picking up dog poop when you're on the trail. And people poop. I I did not carry my dog's poop. I tied it around his collar and made him carry it. Nice.

There you go. I was like, I am not doing that. I go, and if you poop more than once, you're gonna have like 15 bags around your collar because I'm not carrying it. So, yeah. So there's a, there's an option that you can throw out there.

Alright. I think I shall. I'll play your call on air. Okay. Well, appreciate you listening.

Yeah. You have a good one too. Bye. Bye. Hey, man.

What's happening? Hey, Victor. Hey. Just walking my mail route in Pocatello. What are you up to today?

Just finding trying to find crap to talk about other than actual crap. Right on. So the 14ers is a club group for people that climb the peaks that are over 14,000 feet. Oh, okay. I may have heard that.

Called the 14ers. Okay. That makes total sense. We got a whole bunch of them in Colorado. They're over 14,000 feet high.

Right on. Right on. Alright. Well, I appreciate that. Good job, bud.

Hey. I'm trying. You. I'm trying to slow news day. So well, good luck out there, man.

Try to stay Right on. I will. Alright. See you, man. What up, Peaches?

Good morning. How's it going today? Well, sometimes I I tell people how hard the job is around here. We do more than just talk between the songs, and that's about it. That's why I'm so tired today.

I think I wore my brain out yesterday doing the tedious work I must continue after the morning show today. It's very mentally exhausting. Right. And then I spent the next the past 20, not 20, about 15 minutes, you saw me come in here, take a picture of the studio Mhmm. And then walk out of here and then make a meme for our social media pages.

You should check it on our, our main page. Okay. Let me, pull up my phone here because I don't think I'm logged in on my Oh, my bad. I thought you're all prepared for this. I could've just pulled it up on phone.

No, man. Let's see here. Facebook. What do we got from peaches? Now, you you told me what you were doing, but I'm not sure I'm familiar with this particular meme.

Okay. Well, it seems to be problematic on the air, but low key, I'm just a chill guy. I have not seen this meme. So it looks like you did a pretty good job with it, Peaches. Looks like yeah.

Yeah. You you did a nice job chopping out the whatever that is. Is that a dog? A reindeer? I I do not know.

He's just been popping up everywhere, and I like to keep up with the trends on our end. Alright. Alright. Well, hopefully, we'll get some action out of that. Very well.

Our audience is old. They'll probably, like, what what why is Arthur on the cover of the Facebook page? Yeah. I've never seen that before. They But I And you're younger than most of our listeners.

And I'm online a lot, you know. But sometimes these new memes, I just miss them or I just don't understand them. You know? The stuff that these kids are putting out nowadays what's wrong with these kids nowadays? Brain rot.

Brain rot. That's right. No. They're all crazy and be a old boomer. There was a comparison of the, GameCube being sold in Target for $49 compared to the, Skibbty Toilet action figure they can also buy for $49 at Target now.

Did you say a GameCube? Yeah. Like, from way back in the day back when the GameCube was in that showed the old Target. It was actually $49? That that doesn't sound right.

Back then, it probably was. Yeah. Nah. I bet it was, like, $300 or something. Let's let's find out.

Because video game systems and video games themselves haven't really changed price wise since, like, when I came it. How But it looked unrealistic. Did GameCube cost on release? Because now the GameCubes are $300. What?

Here okay. There are people arguing about it. Okay. It was, $200 at launch. So not too bad.

PlayStation 2 and Xbox were both $300 at launch. So, you know, price of consoles has gone up maybe a little bit, but, you know, games ultimately ain't too bad. You know, thankfully The games used to be 49.99. That was like the crazy one and that I remember specifically my dad and I walking into GameStop and saw a game for 59.99 and went, man, it's ridiculous. Isn't it?

Well, I've showed you the receipt I have for, Mortal Kombat 3 Super Nintendo. Oh, yeah. $70. You know? That's just how it was back in the day.

So that's why when people lose their mind about $70 games now, I'm like, k. How old are you? Because we went through a a little period where I think because the games were on discs instead of cartridges. You know, they went down a little bit, and 50 to $60 kinda became the common price, but I remember a lot of games being $70 on Super Nintendo. 64 and 64, I bet there were games that were even more than $70.

Well, I know you put the $5 down to preorder. That used to be the thing. Mhmm. And then you would just show up day of release. Sometimes there'd be a midnight launch, like, for the Halo games.

Yeah. Because And then you would pay the full price then. Because, yeah, if everybody bought a GameCube for 49 I mean, if GameCube was $49, everyone on the planet would own one. I I missed mine for sure. I wish I could get my hands on 1.

Yeah. I gave mine to my, brother. He has it. So but nowadays, you know, if you get a switch, you could just play all those same games, and you can use a GameCube controller, I think. I think.

Don't quote me on that. But you could play GameCube games on the regular Wii as well. Yeah. You could play them on the Wii. Yeah.

But my parents sold their Wii, I think. Yeah. You I would imagine you can get a Wii pretty cheap. I haven't shopped for one because I just don't care. Right.

I've been playing GTA San Andreas. That's what I've been playing. It's, it's good, but it, you know, it ain't no GTA 5. I really wanted to add, CJ on fire because you just hear him screaming. And then add it to our imaging, k Bear 101.

There are some pretty funny lines in it. You know, I'll I'll give it that. And it's getting better as I go along. But, you know, the funny thing with old games is once you get used to playing the newer games, stuff that was, like, earth shattering amazing when it was new, like San Andreas, it's just kinda like, well, alright. This is an old game now.

I I gotta play GTA 5 and go around all the NPCs because apparently Tyler the Creator was a voice for one of those guys where he just say, I like potato salad. Do you like it too? It's just random things. I didn't know that. One thing with the, like San Andreas and some of those older games, they used, like, Hollywood stars, like Samuel l Jackson Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Because it was a GTA 3. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

And then they moved on. I think it's better when they use unknown actors, you know, because it's distracting. Mhmm. Like, when Samuel l Jackson is a cop and starts talking, you know it's Samuel l Jackson, and it kinda takes you out of the game. Well, you get that guy like, who's it?

Steven Ogg? Yeah. Who who's Trevor and he's like, no, all upset. People just call him Trevor. It's like, dude, that's your only, like, notable role.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he'll pop up and other stuff from time to time. Like, he was in better call Saul. Right.

Yeah. But he still seemed like he was playing almost Trevor Yeah. In better call Saul. So, yeah, I like that they use these unknown actors, like, you know, the guy who played Arthur Morgan. You know, I'd never heard of him before or since.

And, he's gonna be that character till the end of his days. It'll always be Arthur Morgan. The guy who plays Dutch is a famous voice actor. I forgot how many voices that guy's done or how many roles that guy's had. The John Marston guy.

Mhmm. I mean, he's he'll always be John Marston, you know. You hope these actors can get some roles out of these deals, but they don't I don't think Hollywood understands what these guys actually do because they're hooked up in those suits. You know, it's full motion capture. Yeah.

The motion that's what it is. Motion capture suits. Yeah. So when they're doing these scenes, they're acting out the scenes. They film it like a regular Hollywood movie, but I think people just assume these guys just sit in a box like we do and just throw the voice lines out there.

But, you know, all that, like, crawling around and, you know, hunching down while shooting. Every one of those animations, they, actually filmed. There's a great in-depth video of I think his name is Benjamin Wells or Benjamin Myers. I forgot the guy's name for Dutch, but he was talking about how he's a little bit taller in person compared to Dutch. Yeah.

So he puts the cup closer so he can pretend he's Dutch's height. Oh. And he's doing all these different things, like, to sort of be the character in that morph suit. You can't take a person seriously wearing that suit too. No.

No. It's yeah. Shout out to those actors to be, you know, dressed up in that way, and you've gotta just be in your head in something you can't even envision. Mhmm. You know, they don't know what the game's gonna look like or anything when they're doing that.

Yeah. I can't imagine, like, being in a horror movie being chased by 2 dudes in, like, green screen morph suits. Help. And you have to pretend it's a creature. Scary.

I didn't realize that for the Alien movie, that Robert Bob Kropsky, I don't know how you say his name, but like, he actually plays the giant alien person and people thought it was like a CGI creature. Oh. This dude's 7 foot 7 and he just comes walking in and looks terrifying. Okay. Maybe that's your future, Peach.

I'm not 7 foot 7. He's almost a foot taller than me. But you're tall enough to play a monster. Yeah? I could be Michael Myers.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Throw it out to Hollywood here. We got we got a a big scary old Peaches.

You know monster? You know how many people, like, look like me that are probably even worse looking than me that fit that role? Well, you know, I still think you should give it a shot. Don't count don't count yourself short, peaches, you know, because you're tall. Yeah.

Feel mentally lazy today. I don't know what my deal is. Makes me wonder, like, are you just being forgetful when you look at things like this? I've I've never heard of any of this. Am I just tired?

Looking at a list of the most disappointing albums ever from Rolling Stone. And aside from one of them, I don't think I've heard of any of these. Alright. I only looked at the top 10. Maybe I need to go back a bit here.

Scrolling and scrolling, going through the top 20. Again, a bunch of albums that I've not heard of. Now there is one album in here listed as one of the top 10 most disappointing albums of all time, and it's an album that I actually like. That would be Chinese democracy by Guns and Roses coming in at number where was it at here? It was pretty high on the list.

Number 5 of the most disappointing albums of all time. I think it's the best Guns N' Roses album. I know. I know g and r fans ready to, you know, burn me at the stake for that one. But it's true.

As far as my personal opinion goes, I think Chinese democracy is the best Guns N' Roses album. I I'm I've got weird taste. Alright? But the rest of these, I guess there's a reason that I haven't heard of them. That being that they were so disappointing, people just forgot about them.

Coming in at number 10, Michael Jackson, Invincible. Number 9, yes. Tales from Topographic Oceans. Number 8, Stevie Wonder's Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants. 7, Beach Boys, smiley smile.

6, Bruce Springsteen, Human Touch. Then we mentioned, Chinese Democracy. Number 4, David Bowie tonight. Number 3, Bob Dylan self portrait. Number 2, the Rolling Stones, their satanic majesty's request.

And then at number 1, John Lennon sometime in New York City. And even as a big Beatles fan I don't remember this John Lennon album. Sometime in New York City? Alright. Well, anyway, if you wanna listen to some terrible albums, there's a 100 of them listed at rollingstone.com.

But, you know, the fact that number 5 on the list, I would say, is the best g and r album. I don't know about this list now. Chili Peppers, 1 hot minute. People didn't like that album very much. I don't remember what, singles were on that one, but, a few standout songs did emerge, like arrow aeroplane.

Okay. That's not few. That's one. I do remember that song. Black Sabbath Technical Ecstasy.

Alright. It's, you know, definitely one of the weak Black Sabbath albums. Alright. I think this is a it's a decent list of of bad albums, at least, aside from g and r, aside from that masterpiece, Chinese democracy. Listen to it if you haven't.

My recliner awaits. Last night, I decided I got a little bit motivated out of nowhere. And I'm like, I'm gonna do some Christmas decorating. So I dragged my Christmas tree out of the garage. It's in this big, huge box, you know, and get it all, you know, not really set up.

I didn't shape the branches and this and that. I just put the three pieces together, found a spot for it. I was like, alright. Boy, that's enough work for tonight. Yeah.

I thought I was gonna get the ornaments out and everything. Like, I'm gonna get festive because it was, I don't know, 6 o'clock when I started. And instead, I just sat in the recliner and watched Lucy the kitten go crazy in that tree. She loves trees. I've talked about her climbing trees, how I had to get her rescued out of a tree by a tree guy And, you know, thankfully, now she knows how to get out of the trees by herself.

But she goes outside and she's well, she gets she gets way up there. She loves trees. So she was so excited by this tree that I put up in my living room last night. I should actually post the videos. I posted a, photo.

Actually, on the kBear YouTube, I did post video of her playing in the tree. So you can look at our YouTube shorts, kbear101rmg. She's very cute. But, yeah. I'm pretty sure it would be a waste of time to put ornaments on the tree now.

Now, as my lady put it, it's her tree now. It's Lucy's tree now. Ornaments gonna be all over the place. I would hope she doesn't chew on wires, but I'm nervous to put lights on it. Maybe I'll just have a bear tree.

I don't know. But I will say kitten was stoked. That band rumored to be putting out some new music soon, Sleep Token. I would imagine we'll see some big tour announcements from them soon as well. Hopefully, they will come somewhere close to here.

Hopefully, they'll just come right here. We got that Mountain America Center. Be perfect for a band like Sleep Token or Bad Omens, Bring Me the Horizon. And don't worry, everybody. I have sent lots of suggestions to the folks over there at the Mountain America Center with my recommendations, and I went wild with it.

You know, when they first asked prior to booking anything couple years ago, I mean, I was like, well, might as well put Tool on the list. I'm not gonna take credit in any way for any band that comes here because I'm not involved in the booking process. I'm just a cheerleader. But the fact that Toole came here shows me we could do we could get just about anybody, just about anybody. So, hopefully, we'll start seeing some rock show announcements soon.

I mean, Weird Al Rocks, but you know what I'm talking about. Something really rocking. And, you know, even if you're a sleep token hater, I gotta say, they put on one of the best shows I saw all year. Highly recommend going and seeing their live show. It's really good, really impressive.

It felt like it damaged my brain. Woke up with the room spinning the next day, and I hadn't had a drop of booze or anything. Wake up, you know, as sober as can be. No hangover, but the room's spinning. Those strobe lights, man.

They get to you when you get old. Anyway, just just daydreaming about the potential for live music in 2025. You know if there's anything exciting coming, you'll hear about it here first. Alright. Back in a minute.

So Peaches, last night, kicked back watching some X Files with Judith, and something very strange happened watching X Files, man. I'm on season 8 episode, I think, 3. Where do you think this episode of the X Files took place? Oh, I'm guessing with the way that you're asking me, maybe somewhere in Southern California. I'm gonna guess Seal Beach.

Nope. Not California. Is it right here in the area? It's I'd say in the area. Is it, Pocatello?

Not Pocatello. Rexburg. Not Rexburg. Idaho Falls? Not Idaho Falls.

Firth. Not Firth. Sorry, Firth. Jade always says it sounds like a fart. Yeah.

It does. Keep going. Finger City? Nope. Nope.

Keep going. Going to the Driggs? Nope. Just naming a voice mail. It's a place it's a place that I've talked about a lot.

Income. Not income. Oh. Place that would be perfect for an episode of the X Files because it's like a town in a Stephen King movie. Arco?

Not Arco. I can't believe you can't guess what it is, Peaches. It's like a town in the Stephen King movie. And I've talked about it plenty of times. Tons.

Tons. Oh, Jerome? Not Jerome. When have I talked about Jerome, Idaho? Jerome, Arizona.

Yeah. It's in Idaho. Oh. I'm gonna just make you keep guessing until you go. No.

I'm not gonna I'm just gonna sit here quietly. I'll give you a hint. I used to work there. Oh, Burley. Burley.

All of a sudden, Burley, Idaho pops up and that's where this episode took place. Perfect place for an episode of X Files because every day is like the X Files in Burley. And let me guess, Burley looked pretty in the episode because they No. Hollywoodified it. What's amazing is, I mean, it clearly wasn't filmed in Burley because Obviously.

Like, you you could just tell. But, like, every person's house, they might as well have had, like, no electricity. They, like, live back in the woods. Yeah. It's like a little house in the prairie.

It was like, yeah. There's some kind of backwoods town with a bunch of, you know, like, old crazy hillbillies and stuff. And then there was a They're making it seem like it's a vampire. Like it's in Montana or something like that. Not like What what am I looking for?

Like, Red Dead Redemption type thing. Yeah. It was kinda like that, you know. They didn't show an actual like, if you roll into Burley, it's a normal town. It it looks like a normal town.

Yeah. Yeah. You've got your Walmart. You got blah blah blah. You know, this was like if Burley was just out in the middle of nowhere and maybe 3 people lived there and everybody lived in a rundown dump.

There's a creepy graveyard and stuff. The whole time I was watching it, I was thinking, well, this is how Burley is in my mind. Like, the feelings induced when I think about Burley. This is how it is even if it doesn't look like that way. Like, have you seen the movie They Live?

No. I haven't. Okay. I need to see that one. So you put on the special glasses and you can see the reality of the world.

It was like if you rolled into Burley and you put on the glasses then it would be like the episode of X Files. I do love how you're just insulting Burley right now. You know, there's lots of nice people in Burley. It's just a weird place where I saw lots of terrible things happen that you just don't see happen in an average small town. That's why when that stupid song came out, you know, try that in a small town, I'm like, do you know what goes down in a small town?

Small towns are crazy. Clearly, he doesn't. Like, the most, corruption happens in small towns because in big cities, there's a bunch of oversight. There's a lot of people involved in, like, local government and, you know, police forces and things like that. Small towns are where you always see the most crazy kind of corruption come out.

I just watched the movie. I talked about it with you yesterday. Rebel Ridge Yeah. On Netflix came out this year. It's about corruption in a small town with the police force No.

And how they just steal all this guy's money that he had in his backpack because he's trying to bail his cousin out of jail. Little did they know that the main character is a guy who's a ex marine. He's an expert in pretty much everything. He just, like, has to fight against this corrupt police chief. I was gonna ask Lieutenant Crane if he wanted to watch that movie and see Yeah.

He's so see if, you know he's like, oh, yeah. That reminds me of a certain somebody. That reminds me of this town in East Idaho. I'm not saying Burley's corrupt. I'm just saying it's it's a weird place, and I don't go there anymore.

I don't roll into Burley. I drive by and I'm like, oh, I'm glad I don't have to pull off on this exit and go to work. You drive through, when you go to Boise for for cars. But you're not, like, in town. You're just passing on the freeway.

Right. You know? Oh, great. Somebody's calling in. Oh, I hope somebody's the mayor of Burley.

The mayor of Burley. Kaybur, you are live on the show. Please keep that in mind. Who's this? I'd rather not actually say my name.

Anonymous. Alright. That's fine. That's fine. Perfect.

Alright. So just talking about small town corruption. Okay. Now hold on. Small town.

Okay. I was gonna say, don't throw any, you know, like No. No. No. No names.

No nothing. Okay. So grew up in a pretty small town around here. And when I was in high school, I dated a girl, believe it or not. Anyway, she had she had recently broken up with one of the local police officer's son.

One day, I get pulled over randomly, and I was cited as not coming to a complete stop when exiting a parking lot at the school. You know, nobody does that. Yeah. But for some reason, I specifically got picked up. I had to get out, walk a line.

He wanted to search my vehicle, And it was the dad of the kid who got broken up with, and I was dating the ex girlfriend. Isn't that funny? Like, I had my California license plate for a little bit, and magically, you know, the I see the cop of his baton breaking my mirror saying I'm driving the broken mirror. I'm I'm driving the broken taillight. He said, you'd be planting marijuana in my back seat.

No. I'm kidding. But, yeah, he pulled me over. He had me go through the whole thing. And I was like, did I do something wrong?

Like, what's going on? He's like, nope. You failed to stop without or you failed to stop leaving the parking lot, so I've gotta do a drunk test on you. I wanna search your vehicle. And you're leaving school?

Leaving school. I did not come to a complete stop leaving the parking lot. I mean, I did see a few instances in school where I saw other kids had been drinking, you know, but generally when you're leaving school, you know, one of the first things on a cop's mind would not be maybe this kid's been drinking, especially if you don't smell like booze. You know? Right?

Yeah. Well and later, I found out who he was, and I was like, oh, he was just hassling me because his his kid is unheard about it. Could be. Could be. You never know.

Parents, you know, sometimes make bad decisions. They get, protective of their kids, and I'll show him. You know, there's bad parents out there. So Yeah. And I was talking to mine about it because this was back when I was in high school.

I was talking to my parents about it, and they're like, oh, yeah. I know him. That's exactly what he was doing. He was known for harassing people. You know, I do a show with the cop every Friday at traffic school with Lieutenant Crane, and, you know, we've talked about like, I talked about when I lived in Burley and I got pulled over for not wearing a seat belt cause you're not supposed to be able to get pulled over for that, and they then accused me of speeding afterward.

Mhmm. And I was like, why would I speed when you were right there? Like, I'm I'm on my way to work. Right. Early in the morning, I don't wanna be late.

Mhmm. I see you. I'm not going to just hit the gas on the main road in Burley when there's nobody else around. But, you know, there's no matter what, industry you look at, there's people who don't do a good job in it. You know?

Yeah. Look at radio. Mostly you do a bad job. I was gonna say, look at radio. A lot of corrupt people in that industry.

Corrupt people and they a lot of them that do a very bad job. So yeah. Yeah. I think you're gonna throw my story out there is maybe not total corruption, but definitely a little bit of, like, small town people know each other, and it's pretty easy to bend rules. Oh, yeah.

They're you know, the good old boy network, that's a thing in small towns and everybody knowing everybody. You know, it's it's amazing how, a lot of my customers in Burley, you know, I worked there for years years years, and a lot of them you'd get talking with them and, you know, like, yeah. You know, I just got off probation, and then they pulled me over again. It's like, well, you you need to move, dude. If you're going to continuously cause trouble, they know you here.

There's a few 1,000 people that live in this town and, like, 2 main roads. You're going to get caught. So Mhmm. Anyway, man, appreciate the call today. Yeah.

Thank you, anonymous. Yeah. Thanks for the show. Hey. No problem, man.

I hope it was decent. Oh, yeah. Thanks, man. See you guys later. Peace.
