#0038 - Most radio programmers should probably retire. - 08/06/2024

I shouldn't be surprised that people would do something as dumb as attempt to emulate Olympic athletes and then end up hospitalized. I guess I was a little surprised. A lot of people watching the Olympics, which is good because they got to see Gojira tear it up. But, yeah, I guess doctors are seeing a rise in injuries from people trying to do things like the high jump or back flips or hey, I I skateboarded when I was a teenager. I know I'm in my forties now, but let's get on the skateboard.

Yeah. You don't wanna be that dad. Alright. What happened to your dad? How did he break his leg?

He said, you know, he used to be able to do a 360 or 720. Something about some guy named Tony Hawk. Next thing I know he's laying on the ground with you know his shin just kind of sticking out jeez Yeah. Don't try to do backflips. K?

It's just a bad idea. I don't know. Maybe real young people and you got a trampoline. Maybe. But if you're my age, you just can't be monkeying around like that.

K? Again, it's gonna suck. It's gonna hurt, and you'll be an embarrassment to your family. So don't do that. K.

Just kick back, watch the Olympics, leave it to the pros. So I was just reading that this family was trying to travel, go out of the country. Where were they here? Attempting to travel from England. So they applied for a passport for their 6 year old daughter.

And apparently the UK government was like no That's a fake name. You got a fake name Or they also said the name was trademarked? Anyway, it was one of the these people who named their kid Khaleesi after game of thrones. And, I guess this can cause you problems down the road aside from just your kids being made fun of for a wacky name. Might not be able to leave the UK or whatever country.

I don't know what the, trademark would have to do with it. Nah. It's it's in the article here about, hey. You know, you've you've been denied because that is a trademarked name. Now eventually, they fixed everything up.

You know, we're like, oh, sorry. You you can go. We see it's your real name. So I don't know what the trademark deal is here. But eventually, they were able to leave.

But, again, people who named their kids Khaleesi, I recall at the end of Game of Thrones, a lot of them being very upset because of, you know, some actions that character took toward the end of the the program. I mean, to me, that that makes it more metal, more of a metal name, but a lot of people are not looking for a metal name. Don't name yourselves or, you know, I guess you could name yourself after whoever. That's per perfectly reasonable. Don't name your children after characters whose story arc has not been completed.

Don't get tattoos for, you know, bands you like and things like that. You never never know if somebody's gonna end up being a dirtbag. Just be cautious when it comes to things that are semi permanent. You can always cover up a tattoo. You can always change your name, but it could end up being very awkward.

You know, don't name your kids after celebrities. Alright? There've been a lot of celebrities that turned out to be not so good. And even if you're a big fan, you don't wanna end up with a kid sharing that name. I don't even need to give examples.

You know what I'm talking about. So anyway, there you go. Don't name your kids Khaleesi. It's a weird name, anyway. Alright.

Kids at school are gonna be like, what what's going on here? Alright. Oh, man. I might need more coffee or something. I thought I got a decent amount of sleep last night, but I must've woke up a lot or something.

I'm I'm just a little bit out of whack. Need a nap. You might need some medication after this next one, and my apologies if you don't wanna hear about this, but we're we're getting into it. We're gonna talk about bed bugs. I just read this horrifying story at eastidahonews.com.

That's right. We're going local. Pilot suffers over 80 bed bug bites at local hotel amid lack of regulation. I'm not gonna personally throw the hotel under the bus. You can go check out the article at eastidahonews.com.

But, yeah, they got pictures of this guy, you know, showing off his 80 large itchy red welts and I Crawling out of my skin right now. Alright? Already had a little bit of a headache this morning. Just wanted to go back to bed but now, yeah, maybe I don't wanna go back to bed. I don't have bed bugs at my house.

Okay? I haven't woke up with large, itchy, red welts. Oh, I bet it would really mess me up because mosquito bites, they they make me really sick if I get them. They hurt and they swell up, and then I feel really ill. So I would imagine 80 bed bug bites.

I'd probably just wanna die. Oh, jeez. Now East Idaho News was able to verify this man's stay at this hotel. Apparently, in Idaho, there is no form of regulation as far as hotels go when it comes to bed bugs. No bed bug regulations.

Alright. The CDC and the, USDA all consider bed bugs a public health pest, but Idaho does not identify them as a public health issue. Yes. Let's see what, AJ McWarder says. The spokesman for the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare says bed bugs are generally not considered a public health problem because they're not known to spread disease.

They're certainly a concern to the public because they might cause itching and loss of sleep and have a definite gross factor, but local and state public health agencies are not responsible for investigating hotel bed bug reports even if guests are bit. I would think if you've got a bug infestation at a hotel, there should be somebody who needs to deal with this. Right? Yeah. Let's see.

According to the EPA, 21 states have some level of law or regulation regarding bed bugs, but Idaho is not one of them. Okay. Nevada, as you would expect, is one of the places that has ordinances in place. You know, when when you're a city, I'm I'm guessing this all stems from Vegas. When you're because why why why else would anybody go to Nevada?

There's no reason to go to Nevada unless you're going to Vegas or Reno. Right? Or some other small town with casinos. People only go to, like Nevada to gamble. So you gotta make sure there's not bed bugs or people ain't gonna come back to your casino.

Oh, man. Why do they got so many pictures of this guy with all of his bed bug bites and these giant close-up pictures of bed bugs? Alright. So what do you do if you find bed bugs? Let's see.

Report it to the hotel. What? So they can go, sorry. That's what they did to this guy. They're sorry.

What? What are you gonna do, man? I I don't know if they were rude to him or anything. Yeah. What did happen?

Did they give him a refund? I mean, if you stayed in a hotel room and got ripped apart by bed bugs, I would hope they'd give you the, the room for free. That's what I would hope. Yeah. Said reported it to the front desk who seemed to be unfazed.

Yeah? What about it? We all get eaten by bed bugs around here. Gross. Girldy.

Anyway, just be forewarned. Look around your hotel rooms really good when you check-in because in Idaho, they ain't gonna do nothing about it. You just go ahead and get eaten by bed bugs. So grody. What's happening?

Alright. Let's roll. See what we got here. Hash brown theft. Okay.

Recently, we heard that hash browns were one of the most popular foods in America. I said I didn't believe that. But I think if you pull out a gun at McDonald's to try to get a free hash brown, you must really love hash browns or you're a moron, and a psycho. Maybe a little bit of both. I mean, come on.

Hash browns are really good. Is there anybody out there who's like, I hate hash browns? What's wrong with you? You apparently never had quality hash browns. Alright?

McDonald's hash browns are pretty good. Yeah. Okay. Anyway, guy pulled up to the drive through and said, give me a third hash brown. And they're like, well, you only paid for 2.

And then he started using naughty language. He's like, don't mess with me, but he said something else. I can't say it on the radio. Get in trouble. While using the employee's name from his name tag, don't mess with me.

Jason. I don't know what the guy's name was. Don't mess with me. So then he got a gun out. Yeah.

Now it wasn't a real gun. It was a replica pistol, but I hate to break it to you. If you pull out a fake gun, you'll still get charged with pulling a gun on someone. So yeah. Don't do that.

And I know that the price of food has gone up. Hash brown. What what are they running now? Like, $2? I mean it's probably a rip off where you can get a bag or a, you know, a package full of hash browns at Winco for a few bucks.

But that's the price of convenience. Alright? Anyway, he's in jail. What else do we have? New York city woman accused of pushing 2 tourists onto subway tracks.

She's a pusher. Jeez. You know, you're just visiting New York City for the first time. Hanging out. Let's go on the subway.

So let's see. I I think they ended up being okay. Yeah. Treated for minor injuries, but, you know, other people have gotten pushed onto the tracks and hit by a train, so not nice. You know?

Don't push. Don't shove. And I think she just did it because she's a psychopath as far as I could tell. Alright. Let's go to Philadelphia where a man named Dave is trying to get himself a date.

Alright? It looks like it's working for Dave too. Dave went and got himself a billboard. He spent about $1100 to put up a billboard, and it says I'm trying to read it here. It's it's a really small picture of Dave's billboard.

Well, so Dave, he kind of looks like Shaggy from, you know, the competition sort of competition down the road. Not really competition. You all know Shaggy, right, from the pick? That's what Dave looks like. He's got the, the red hair.

Anyway, so Dave put up a billboard. I'd like to read it to you, but I just can't. He has a picture of his cat on it, and this is what the kids would call sus. He has a cat named Peach. Now anything relating to peach and peaches, I'm gonna go with the sus.

So we got a a guy who looks like Shaggy with a cat named Peach. I think something weird is going on here. The simulation is breaking. That's what's going on. But Dave who put up the billboard, he's gotten, like, thousands of messages, from single people reaching out to date the billboard guy.

You know, good on him. I I don't think I if I was, single, I'd be brave enough to put up a billboard. I would just be, you know, the guy with the cat sitting at home because I'm too shy for that. You know? So good job, Dave.

Get yourself a date. But, again, I don't know what's up with that cat named Peach. Okay. Anything else for freak news? Man dead after hiking on Circumference Trail in North Phoenix.

Well, yeah, of course, he's dead. You don't go outside in Phoenix right now. What was it on Saturday? A 116 degrees. Yes.

Stay in the house, bro. It's Phoenix winter. You don't go out there or you be dead. Well, one of these days, people will learn. Man okay.

Let's see. This guy's not dead, but man stabbed at regaland festival. Can you imagine you go to a reggae show and get stabbed? I thought that's supposed to be all, hey, man. Hey.

Yeah. Relax, bro. And you got those terrible reggae riffs? All reggae music sounds the same. We'll dive into that in a minute.

I'll show you after we listen to some reggae. K? I got some Sublime coming up, and then we're gonna talk about what I find to be one of the most boring forms of music. I'm not against it, and it's not bad. I just wish they could somehow change it up.

I'm actually dropping the ball left and right today. I forgot to record a number of breaks for the on demand version of this show. Why am I sucking so much? What's my problem? Jeez.

What an idiot. Okay. You always suck. Peaches, you suck. Alright.

I was talking about this man who was stabbed at a reggae festival. And that's why I don't go to reggae festivals. It seems like the type of place where you would not get stabbed. Imagine being stabbed at, like, one of the worst music festivals of all time. Like a reggae festival.

Yeah. Because alright. We've talked about going to, like, all metal shows. I've gone to death metal festivals where it's, like, 2 days of nothing but straight brutal metal, and by the end, you're like, I can't take it anymore. I need to listen to, I don't know, some kind of pop music or something.

That's why I didn't wanna go to that, summer slaughter tour. The summer slaughter show in LA last week. But I think an all day reggae show would be way worse because Same thing. You know, reggae music all sounds the same. Right.

We we make fun of country for having only 4 themes. Reggae is the same. It well, in I don't know about the themes, but just the sound. Well, it's just the same theme. Because the guitar happy.

Maybe some of that. Yeah. Looking at the names of I found a best reggae music. It's like an hour and a half mix on YouTube from 2 days ago. I'm sure it's just one song on loop.

No. It's it's got 20 songs, Peaches. Supposedly. You're still the one. Always remember.

Stuck on you at my worst. Okay. No arms could never, beautiful, one of us, angel baby. There are love songs. But what drives me craziest about reggae is how they just can't figure out how to mix it up.

You know? Come up with some different sound and songs. Every song you have that riff. Wank. Wank.

Wank. Wank. Sublime does it. You know? Every song.

Wank. Wink. The most boring riff to play ever. Wink. Wink.

You give me that guitar and peach and I'll play reggae riff right now. I'll just slay reggae riffs. Let's see. Alright. There there's a song that's just kinda going.

Put your headphones on. Let's jump, 10 minutes in. And there it goes. Oh, I hate that riff. Let's jump another 10 minutes in.

Right. Right. Right. Hey. This is a cover cover tune.

As a matter of fact, let's jump 10 more minutes in. Oh, this music is so bad. What is this? Hey, peaches. Welcome to the show.

Oh, that guy was off key. Let's jump 10 minutes in here. Oh, they're picking it up. It's a little faster. Does this make you feel like you're at home, Peaches?

No. When you hear these songs It's not in the least good. I wanna go back to California where all the music sound like this. Do they have, one man shows on the side of, Venice Beach playing these kind of songs? Oh, I'm sure they do.

I avoid them. That's for sure. You you know that artist Aurora Wave that I showed you where it's basically reggae but then metal mixed in? Oh, yeah. Like the dude from the ghost inside was screaming in one of the shots.

I was happy to hear somebody do something different because that's my problem with reggae is, like, alright. Bob Marley's done it. Come up with something new. Come on. I don't know how you make it different because that's just what that sound is.

But it seems like it needs some innovation. We need some sort of, like, crazy steel drum solo. Yeah. Maybe they I don't I don't I don't know. Maybe there is no way to revolutionize reggae, but it seems like it's gotta be possible.

Well, it's supposed to be, like, easygoing. That that's all that it is. It's just easygoing, sit there and chill music. I know, but there's gotta be some way to make it a little more interesting. Maybe, I mean, Sublime's about the only ones who did.

Right. And then, you know, I guess they're still going. They're still going, but Barely. They they're doing pretty well for themselves. You know, they they they brought the the sun in to do some vocals and stuff.

Mhmm. You know, seemed like they're tearing it up. I don't know. We'll see what they're saying, man. Wink.

Wink. Tearing it up. Tearing it up with those ribs. Wink. Wink.

Anyway, not trying to shame the reggae community. K? I don't know if there is a reggae community. Around here, there seems to be. Around here?

Yeah. What? A reggae community where? I I've seen a lot of people talk about, oh, I love I love slightly stupid and dirty heads, and he even told me to add it to our concert calendar, and I'm like, damn. But that doesn't mean that there's a reggae community.

There's been people sitting around in a drum circle with the one guitarist going wink wink. Oh, we got somebody calling in now watching. Alright. Maybe they got some tips on where we can find, some progressive reggae music. K Bear, you're live on the show.

Please keep that in mind. Who's this? This is Jim in Pocatello. Jim, what's up? You gotta smoke a you gotta smoke a bunch of ganja to make Wag a interesting.

Jim. Alright, Jim. We'll pass your tips on to the listeners. That's the only thing that makes it interesting. Alright.

Thanks, Jim. That was a good one. We dumped out of what Jim said. I could have probably left it. I could have left it.

Yeah. He'd say he said it properly. He did say it properly. But it is true. I get nervous with Jade down the hall.

If you need like an outside influence to listen to something, you know it's not good. Yeah. Yeah. You have to be relaxed Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. To make the music interesting. I almost brought one of those things back, to Idaho. It was one of those, Deaches that stuff's illegal here. Those those mushroom coffee things.

You know, like Mushroom coffee. It's like a huge thing in LA. They have, like, that magic water. I almost brought it back for you. That sounds like you'd get arrested when you rolled into the Idaho airport.

It was on sale at, Erewhon. I saw that the store. At Erewhon, the fancy grocery store? Gonna bring that back for you. Be like, here, here's some magic water.

Drink this to do the show. It's called mud water. That's what it's called. I've heard of mud water. Oh, okay.

That's not like magic mushroom water. There there's some stuff in there. I could have came back with, like, some giant jar of organic sea moss and be like, here you go, Victor. Have fun with this. Organic sea moss.

Hey. I mean, you know, wanting to introduce more vegetables into my diet. Organic sea moss. This jar only cost $50. That's right.

Giant glass jar. Organic sea moss. I don't know how TSA would have, liked that or not. If they would have liked that or not. Probably not.

It because it was it in liquid? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

No big bottles of liquid. You know? That's, no, that's a That's a shame. That's right. That's Git.

That's Git. Canada be wild and Montreal, I guess taking a page out of the Las Vegas playbook here. Creating a designated 24 hour nightlife district. I don't know if that's a good idea. K.

I think they've gotta shut down, you know, drinking at some point at night. You gotta get people to go home and go to bed. 24 hour drinking just leads to problems. Alright? You might know somebody who's gotten themselves in trouble in a place like Las Vegas.

Yeah. Sometimes, you know, people just gotta be told no. No. Sales have been stopped for the evening. Let's see.

I guess they tried it out, back in February. Let's go ahead and see what happens if we leave bars open till 8 AM. And now they tested this in Canada. Maybe that's the difference here. I think people in Canada might behave a little bit differently than people in the US.

K? Because, you know, I've been to the bars late around here, and the later it gets, the crazier the people that stay out late get. Alright? Now I'm not saying you shouldn't be able to stay out late and responsibly enjoy some fun. I just know that there's a lot of lunatics out there.

The type of guys who would go, you ain't from around here, are you? I I'd tell you. That was a late night local crowd in Lava Hot Springs. You ain't from around here, are you? Yes.

I am. Please don't drag me outside with your cowboy friends and give me a stomp and I I don't even remember what I did to make those guys mad. I think I was singing, like, karaoke or something like Pantera songs. No screaming and yelling. You ain't from around here.

Around here, we listen to only country music. Kinda city folk are you? Pocatello city folk. That's right. From the big city, Poke.

Woah. Okay. Now a video fired up, and I'm watching them make make these drinks. I don't know what was going on there. What was that?

They were, like, pouring, look like nitrous or something out of a giant jug into these cups, and there was just smoke billowing up everywhere. Maybe they do get get a little bit crazy in Canada. I've never seen that kind of a drink, whatever that was. It didn't appear to be a dry icing. Alright?

I don't know what was going on. Anyway, I guess if you wanna party hard, you go to Montreal. Alright? Good luck to you. Don't get yourself in trouble.

You have a clip for me. Yeah. Alright. I can't wait to see Peach's clip of the day. I feel like meeting the Peach's of the day.

Which is clip of the day. Would be Alright. But I feel like this is what Iheart has as for a backup just in case, you know, the, radio DJs wanna get cocky and they're like, well, we have this. Wait. I don't know where Alright.

To replace you. Where do I find this? Go to my folder. I'm in it. Go to the bottom.

It says a it says, AI clip for NHOMAM. 27. Okay. I got it here. Let's fire it up.

Isn't clear yet. Then then this is Valentine in the morning. So k. Jill, the co host, was gone. She was, getting married in Hawaii.

Well well What is that? That was something else. Yeah. So she's she was getting married in Hawaii. She does the entertainment report because, you know, every single morning radio show has to have that random woman who's like, this is what's happening in Hollywood and no one really cares.

Yeah. Every once in a while when I'm really desperate for content, I'll go, let's see what's up in the world of entertainment news, and then I just start reading a bunch of crap. Well, they used AI in her absence Okay. But without telling her. And is it her own voice?

Yeah. It's her own voice. You gotta listen to it here. Okay. And just listen and don't say anything.

When you feel like you're supposed to say something, don't say something. Let us take care of that for you. Okay? Okay. Here we go.

1043 My FM. Entertainment headlines. Demi Lovato is stepping behind the camera for the first time. Her directorial debut, child star, will debut on Hulu September 17th. It's a documentary about the highs and lows of being a child and teen actor, a subject that I, Jill, would know a lot about too.

Lovato told The Hollywood Reporter, I hope viewers will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and pressure Do you remember seeing any of this? No. Is that AI? That's AI Jill. This is based by young people in the industry.

How's a fast most disaster. Terrifying. Terrifying. Right? Coming.

Hold on. That's a pretty good AI voice. But that's the free version. If you purchase the premium version, I think there's emotion involved because they talk about that a little bit. They're like, yeah.

She sounds monotone. Did they say where to where they went to do it? That's what I wanted to that's what I wanted to know. I might text my friend John who's in the background yelling there. Oh, yeah.

Find out what site they used because, that would be really funny. I really wanted to make a clip of Jay just saying a whole bunch of stuff. Yeah. I mean, with how many, you know, episodes of our shows are available on demand, I think I'm up to, like, 40 or somewhere in there. I'm sure that's enough of me yapping to, create an AI voice.

Yeah. Dude, that'd be great. Then I can just be like, yeah. I swear I'm in here doing my show. I'll just have chat GPT, write a script, and just plug it in.

And I'll make AI Victor do the Shot Clock Sports Update. Yeah. Just do it. Hey. I've proven that I can do a quality sports update.

I'm a I'm a professional, Peter. And I know there are casual listeners who just listen in for the music for the most part and Who who are they? What? You guys don't like listening to me? And then they'll hear our voices and just we could say anything.

They it wouldn't faze them. No. Probably not, especially if it was good quality. If it could get, a little bit of me yelling, you know, I don't know how you type that in and make it happen, but Well, somehow they got the AI to go pew pew, like that type of tone. Oh, pew pew?

Mhmm. Peaches, are you trying to, get some code out on air here? What? Sorry. Anyway.

It was what? Pew pew is, the way that people try to get away with selling firearms on Facebook marketplace. Oh. Yeah. I don't it it was it was a bad transition.

It was just, you know, train wreck. Train wreck into the dirt. My bad. That was an AI break, everybody. You know, that wasn't real.

I would never features. I would never fail in that way with the content of my show. It's always a grade a top tier. Nothing but the best. So I'm sure someone will take all the things that I hate and then say I like them in my AI voice.

Oh, yeah. For sure. I love dog moms like that type of thing. I don't know what you're dealing with dog moms with, PJ. They're just ladies who like dogs.

I'm a cat dad. Come on. What? I'm just imagining AI, Victor. I'm gonna step on every cat I see.

No. No. Poor little kitties. Oh, so glad my kitten didn't wake up with the cone off again today. She keeps taking it off Wow.

In the middle of she just rips it off her head somehow. And then I wake up in the middle of the night, and I'm like, oh, jeez. You're gonna open your wound. You know? She's a bad kitty.

I got 2 crazy cats driving me nuts for the last week. And you know what? See? But look at me. I don't have any pets.

I'm fine. I go to bed at night. Don't have to worry about some cat scratching me at 4 AM. They bite your feet. Yeah.

That too. That's what they do. They bite your feet. She's she's stopped doing that though. She's stopped biting my feet.

I think she learned that I put her out of the room when she bites feet. So she's, like, alright. I guess I'll go to bed. Or it could be she's just can't get my feet because she has the cone. Oh, true.

It doesn't work. You might need to keep the cone. Just let sorry. You're now permanent cone, cat. My old cat, Corey, she always had to wear a cone.

Why is that? Because she would get, like, anxiety and just lick all her fur off of her belly. Okay. She she doesn't have to anymore. She's doing good.

But she I don't know. She had some anxiety or something. And, so she she was really weird. You'd put the cone on her, and she'd be the best kitty in the world. Then you take the cone off, and she's a little devil.

You know? Me and me go. Best one for sure. Well, it's because she was a 100 years old. Yeah.

She was amazing. She was a good girl. She was a good girl. Alright. Well, listeners, feel free to, you know, listen to all my on demand stuff, punch it into some kind of a machine, and make AI Victor.

Do not get me in trouble with work. Alright? Don't do it. Electric Call Boy. What up, Peaches?

One of my favorite songs of the year. Dude, it's a great song. It's a great, fantastic, fun song. I cannot believe rock radio is just slacking on playing that one. It's so funny watching the reactions of people that are listening to Octane who expect, like, Bad Wolves and that Royal In Girl.

It's like every song sounds the same on Octane. So when you get something as fun as Babymetal and Electric Callboy together, the reactions on Facebook are like, what is this garbage? I'm going to turbo. Yeah. I got in a a bit of a Reddit, argument yesterday.

I I wouldn't You got into 1? Sort of. Oh, wow. Somebody posted, what do radio stations have against guitar solos? I totally understand why harsh slash heavy vocals, breakdowns, or certain words are not played on the mainstream radio all for different reasons.

However, I've noticed a trend in recent years that guitar solos are often cut from radio slash single versions of a track, and I'm not talking about 4 to 5 minute songs either. It's happening to songs of really popular artists that are 3 minutes long even with the 15 second short and sweet solo, I just find it a little sad. What are you talking about? Guitar solos haven't been a thing for a while now. That's why Nick Nocturnal is making fun of it all the time.

Dude, Yeah. Back when I was a teenager, guitar solos would get cut out of songs. If you listen to the radio edit of Freebird, the whole thing that's chopped out is that awesome, you know, multiple minute long guitar solo. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

But so I, of course, had to dive in. I'm like, well, hang on here. Because everybody was saying things like the reason they chop these songs down is so they can fit in more ads. The Internet the Internet expert. Internet experts.

Internet experts on radio. And I'm like, alright. A topic where I know exactly why. So I jumped in and was like, no. The reason these songs get chopped up is because of radio programmers who are out of touch completely.

Like, they think that if they put a song on the radio that's more than 4 minutes long, listeners will tune out. I was like, they think that breakdowns and heavy vocals and guitar solos and all of that make listeners tune out, and I've argued with programmers about it and said show me proof. Show me data that proves that and they never can. I was like, it's all programmers to blame. It's not ads.

There's not rules. One guy was saying, well, the longer a song is, the more you have to pay in royalties. I was, like, no. Don't you love that? These people are so stupid and they just they just spew out random nonsense online.

Well, and one guy, he sort of, like, appeared to know this stuff because he was talking about, ASCAP and BMI, these performing rights organizations. He's like, you have to pay pay a blanket fee to, you know, play music on the radio and that but that's the keyword, blanket fee. It's one fee you pay and it covers everything. It's a blanket fee. I was like, yeah.

The the fee doesn't change depending on the number of songs you play. You you pay that fee, and it's it's not based on the length of songs, the artist. It's just all tied in with, company revenue. Every radio station pays a different amount for their blanket fee. I've been dealing with ASCAP and BMI for the last, like, 2 years.

I know this stuff. So I I chimed in and, you know, gave my thoughts and, Let me guess. You got down voted for, throwing out facts and logic. No. I actually got very highly upvoted Good.

With, my comments. So Good. I'm glad to see that. Yeah. But, you know, it's a lot of the reason people think that is because they'll, like, call a radio station and be, like, hey.

Can I request this song? And the DJ will be like, we're not allowed to do that. And it's like, okay. Well, that that's not a rule. It's your program director is not letting you play that.

Yeah. There's no rules about what we can play other than language rules. Like, I've I've played a 15 minute tool song multiple countless times. Language or iffy content. Like, if there's some sort of, like, crazy message being sent out there.

But there's nothing that says you can't play a heavy song. No. I mean, we played Knock Blues every day. Lorne Ashore. Slaughter to Prevail.

Exactly. So, you know, don't even when people seem to really know what they're saying a lot of times, it makes you wonder about a lot of posts online because somebody, like the guy who was talking about PROs, he really sounded like he knew what he was talking about, but he didn't. You know? So you can never really for sure believe everything you read online without heavy research because a lot of people are very confident in what they think is the truth, but it doesn't mean it's necessarily real. So if you need to talk to an expert on anything, any subject in the world, you come to me.

Any subject. Alright. Any subject in the world, I know everything. Just play it every time. This is a much better oh.

Oh. Sorry. I thought you were done, Peaches. No. This is a much better subject compared to what, I was gonna bring you were asking me if I had content.

We could do it for the next break. Alright. Alright. We'll do Peach's break next. Alright.

Now we'll get into Peach's content since I totally just sidelined it to talk about arguing about radio on Reddit. No. That's great. Yeah. I'm glad you, you did the Internet of service by saying, hey.

This is what actually happens, and, you guys can all shove it. Well and I'm always trying to get the word out about Kay Bear because most people, they're right about their local station. It sucks. Yeah. So I try to tell people out there, like, hey.

You can stream us worldwide. Right. You can get the free Kay Bear app and listen to us. We play cool stuff, like lined up next to band that no radio station plays, Sleep Token. Oh, yeah.

We they're one of the biggest bands in the genre right now. Why isn't anybody playing them? I don't know. That song is almost 5 minutes long. Woah.

So anyway, what's up, peaches? Well, I I don't know what kind of content this is online. You know, there's rage bait that local news sources like to put out there. Oh, yeah. Like, Ohio gas prices went up 6ยข.

How do you feel? Oh, my gosh. Yeah. That type of thing. Like, what kind of reaction do you think you're gonna get?

Like, Smoke, you'll make people angry. Or, like, this street's now closed in Idaho Falls. You have to take this alternate route. Hey. We're gonna be building a new roundabout.

What? Yeah. Well, I don't know what kind of content this is. The radio station that I interned for, Coast, 1.5. 5.

They decided to put out their own, this is what they do. They take, like, a major news story. Okay. And then they strip, they slap their logo on top of it. Oh, yeah.

They write the headline below and then put a photo. Dolce and Gabbana has launched a $100 per bottle luxury fragrance for dogs. I saw that. And I'm thinking now, if you're one of those people that I like to make fun of, like, the dog moms that are obsessed with their kids, their their their fur babies, if you will, this is for you. If you wanna waste your money on stupid dog perfume, go for it.

Now, what does it smell like? I don't know. You know, because, dogs can be smell like peaches. So I don't know. Oh, this one's called Fifi.

Fifi. Fifi. Now if there was a cat perfume, I don't know. My cats don't smell. There's some weird candles out there.

Weird candles out there. Like, Bath and Body Works just did this thing with Stranger Things and there's a pineapple on pizza candle. And I'm thinking, why would you want your house to smell like pineapple on pizza? And I smelt the candle. It's full on pineapple then it slaps you with a tomato smell shortly afterwards.

So does it smell like a pizza baking in your oven? It's like just smells like pineapple first. Mhmm. Because I like tomato and and some dough in there. And some dough.

Yeah. I I'd be down to give it a whirl. I'd be down to fire that up and see if I like how it smells in my house. And last night last night I was at a was it Walmart? Yeah.

It was Walmart. I was walking past the candles and it took me a second. I took two glances at it. They have Kit Kat candles. They have Reese's candles.

Wow. Like Snickers candles. I'm like, who's gonna light up their house to smell like Snickers? I would. It would smell like a date night.

Let me light up the Kit Kat candle. Like, you know, when you're baking cookies in the house and it smells so good? Maybe that's what it smells like. Maybe. Yeah.

It's just weird. Like, I don't know. Just it's weird. It's like I'm gonna light up the Snickers candle. I don't know.

Peaches, maybe that's what what the ladies are looking for. I mean, that's my lady. That's what it's a peach and a question today. Kit Kat candle. Ladies, what do you think?

What what's your favorite candle scent? Is it I mean, because chocolate seems like it would smell good. It would smell like, you know, fresh baked cookies, I would think. I do like those ones that are called Homesick and it's, it smells like different cities. So it makes an amazing, you know.

Alright. Nothing like the smell of Hollywood Boulevard. Oh, Oh, man. I I tell you, I did not miss that stench at all. You know the smell of urine baking on the sidewalk in a 100 degree weather.

That's a fuzzy thought with peaches is that like, who because we were me and my friend Matt were talking about it. Who wakes up one day and goes, man, I can't wait to sell fruit on Hollywood Boulevard. And what's even worse is I'm like, like, oh, I forgot I didn't get my fruit that I needed at the grocery store. Maybe I'll just go to this random person that's selling dirty bananas on the side of they do have some street in LA. I don't know.

Some people like the street vendors, man. Oh, it's all organic. Yeah. Sure. I mean, if it's a banana, it's wrapped in a protective, you know, banana peel.

Yeah. Peel is the word. Right. I mean, like an encasing. It's in the, you know, it's in the sleeve type thing.

We're doing we're we're doing an unboxing of banana. Alright. I just pulled up a list of 12 things minimalist never buy, and you shouldn't either. Alright. I'm not like, a hoarder by any means.

My place is well organized. I do hoard books, but I certainly wouldn't consider myself a minimalist by any means. I got a lot of weird stuff hanging up around my house. If you've seen the Kay Bears studio before, you know I like a lot of noise around me. I don't like the minimal look.

I like lots of decorations, lots of color. So let's see if these are items that I would go. What? Of course, I'm going to purchase this. DVDs and books number 1 on the list.

You shouldn't buy why shouldn't you buy books? People should buy more books. People should read more. What I can't believe that's number 1 on the list. Minimalists don't buy books and you shouldn't either.

Yeah. They say they're clogging up the shelf space in your house. I think my bookshelves are awesome decorations. I have let's see. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9 bookshelves right now, and I need to get well, actually, I have 4 more in my basement that I'm using for storage.

You know, I got actual junk clogging up those shelves, but I do need to get at least one more bookshelf. I should have a bookshelf in my, bedroom. Why don't I? It's a good question. Got a giant TV in there?

No no bookshelf? There's books all over the place in there right now. Probably at least 30 books just sitting around in there. Have I been reading them? No.

Okay. What else do we got? Alright. This one throw pillows and blankets. Boy, did I cast a lot of blankets out of my existence when my children moved out.

Take all these blankets. And then when they came to visit a few weeks ago, they're, like, where are all the blankets? And there there's still plenty. Alright? I showed them where they are.

I'm, like, look. There's enough blankets that I can put them away. Yeah. So they're not clogging up my couch. So I do agree.

You don't need to buy 10,000,000,000 blankets. Souvenirs? What's wrong with a nice souvenir? They they could make good decorations. I guess I am not a minimalist.

Multiple colors of the same cup. Okay. So they're talking about people buying those Stanley mugs. You know what? If you're really into it, whatever.

You can go ahead and pick something up like that. Things that are on sale just because they're on sale. Yeah. I mean, don't buy useless things. Oh, look at this.

They're throwing shade at the ladies, a counter full of cosmetics. What else are you supposed to do with the bathroom counter? You fill it up with bathroom stuff. Right? Even me right now, I've got cupboard space in my bathroom, but I have a bunch of crap all over the counter.

Vitamins. You know, just the toothpaste and stuff. You know, I could put it away. I could make it look neat, but I haven't had anybody over for a while, so my house is kind of a mess. About time to get cleaning.

I'm gonna run out of time. Paper towels? No. You should have paper towels. They're good for cleaning up messes.

Lots of toys for your kids and pets. Oh, these people would not like my living room right now with a kitten around. I got toys all over the place. Yeah. This list is kinda crazy.

Why why not buy a disposable razor? You can get the one that you can reuse. You know, you get new new razors for it. You're gonna throw those away. What a weird list.

I thought it was I don't know what I was expecting, I guess, but I didn't expect them to say you shouldn't buy books and that books are just clogging up shelf space. I don't know. I think books look great, look classy even if they're all horror novels. Like, 95% of my library, all horror novels. They still look nice.

Got a woman searching for a Union Civil War submarine. I didn't realize in the Civil War they had submarines. But, apparently, she's been looking for this thing for 20 years somewhere in New Jersey, and now she has a big clue according to the article. Now, I'm not gonna dive into all this history on trying to search for a submarine. It just reminds me of an X Files episode I just watched.

I don't think you should go searching for sunken anything. Not no more. What if that's not a submarine? What if it's a UFO? And what if there's some type of entity trapped within and it all of a sudden takes over your body?

Natural waters people. You saw what happened when they tried to go to the Titanic last year. Sometimes you just need to let things rest. I don't know. Is it packed with treasure?

Because that would make sense to me if it's packed with gold. Gotta go find it, man. Who doesn't want some gold coins? Yeah. Sorry.

I I like a good treasure hunt. Was still and will probably always be bummed that I did not find Forrest Fenn's treasure. I wish somebody else, some rich old, weirdo could hide treasures somewhere out in the woods because I need the money. I did buy a lotto ticket. Just so you know, if all of a sudden one day I just don't show up here with no explanation, Might have won that lotto.

Then I'm set. Then I'm set sleeping in. Alright. Anyway, just wanted to let you know about this woman's search for a UFO because that's what I'm guessing is going on here. She's gonna find something she doesn't wanna find.

Don't monkey with stuff like that. Alright. I'm gonna leave now, But I will be back for the noon hour of madness and mayhem powered by Heliscos. I appreciate your company. I appreciate you listening.
