NHOMAM - Viktor Paid Actual Money To Have A Robot Accuse Him Of Hitting A Car - 08/20/2026

Today’s episode of The Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem begins with Peaches casually unveiling what appears to be the collected works of a man who has been trapped in a basement with a typewriter for seventeen years, only for us to discover that it is actually the beginning of his autobiography. Naturally, this immediately becomes Peach’s Book of Anger, because apparently the universal rule of writing a large amount of text is that you must be furious. From there, the conversation detonates into a completely unnecessary philosophical debate about GLP-1 medications, their side effects, methamphetamine, cigarettes, concert smoking sections, and the deeply irritating person who would walk into a smoking area specifically to inform everyone that they might have consequences for their choices. The smoking section, however, is defended as one of the last remaining bastions of human civilization because it is apparently the only place at a concert where people can actually talk without screaming directly into each other’s skulls. 

The episode then spirals into the increasingly ancient problem of going outside after 6 p.m. Apparently staying out past six on a school night is now an extreme endurance event, and the boys contemplate the collapse of their trivia-league ambitions because someone took a nap at six o’clock and the others apparently require the gravitational assistance of a bartender, Becca, and a person identified only as Bubblegum Booty to form a functioning team. The stakes become even higher because listeners have been instructed to photograph Peaches at concerts and post the evidence online, meaning Peaches is now considering simply refusing to leave the house ever again. Somewhere in this timeline, Theory of a Deadman and Sevendust are waiting for September 23rd while the hosts perform advanced temporal mathematics to determine that the event is approximately one month away. 

Then comes the real centerpiece: National Radio Day, a holiday apparently invented so radio employees can celebrate the fact that radio employees are disappearing. Instead of balloons, cupcakes, party favors, and Fred Meyer pastries, the hosts discover the much more appropriate visual representation of modern radio: one remaining employee attempting to track seven shows a day before being reduced to atoms. This sends them into a horrifying archaeological expedition through radio job listings, where they discover opportunities in Charleston, West Virginia, St. Louis, mysterious Midwest locations, and Roswell, New Mexico. Every listing sounds progressively more like a corporate hostage note, especially the positions demanding that one person simultaneously be an on-air personality, brand ambassador, social media manager, content creator, Swiss Army knife, spiritual disciple, country-music expert, and presumably the person responsible for unclogging the office toilet. The Charleston position even includes the sacred corporate relics of health insurance and a 401(k), while the actual salary remains hidden in a vault guarded by three retired program directors. 

The radio-job discussion reaches maximum corporate-radio psychosis when the phrase “Swiss Army knife” is interpreted correctly to mean, “Congratulations, you now have eight jobs.” The hosts imagine mandatory meetings, conference-room pizza parties, screaming general managers, and the strange expectation that a radio personality should drive around town talking about anxiety. Unfortunately, the anxiety is not hypothetical. The episode reveals that the hosts are barely sleeping, with one of them lying awake at 1:30 in the morning while apparently half of Facebook simultaneously reports that they too have become unwilling nocturnal creatures. The moon is blamed. The lack of air conditioning is blamed. The entire human condition is briefly blamed. 

Then the episode transitions into the beautiful train wreck known as interview preparation. Viktor is preparing to interview Showing Teeth, a newer artist who has not accumulated the decades of professional media training possessed by people like Chris Jericho, Shane from Silverstein, or other musicians who can actually carry an interview without needing to be dragged across the conversational finish line with a tow cable. The preparation immediately becomes obsessed with cats because, apparently, the best way to interview a screaming vocalist is to determine whether she yells at her cats with the same intensity she uses in her songs. The discussion then explodes into musicians being judged based on terrible cellphone footage from enormous festivals, people accusing new bands of being industry plants, and the absurdity of criticizing a band’s performance when you are watching a shaky phone video recorded from approximately 900 yards away while the sound system is actively being eaten by the atmosphere. 

Naturally, cats eventually lead directly into haunted blankets, Zach Bagans, prank calls, and underwear surveillance, because this is apparently how human conversation works now. Peaches reveals that someone called the Z103 phone line using what sounded like a robotic soundboard and immediately informed him that they knew what color underwear he was wearing. Instead of ending the discussion there like normal adults, the hosts decide to test whether they can prank call themselves. This results in an absolutely magnificent fake hit-and-run scenario in which Viktor is accused of scratching a car, leaving a note, driving a gray vehicle, refusing to cooperate, and becoming the target of an increasingly aggressive fake motorist demanding his insurance information. Viktor ultimately gives Geico a completely unnecessary free advertisement before being informed that he has been pranked by PrankDial.com. The most important revelation is that Viktor has actually spent money on prank-call credits, meaning we have officially reached the stage of capitalism where a grown man is paying real currency to have robots accuse him of vehicular crimes. 

And then, because apparently humanity has learned nothing, the episode launches directly into AI radio hosts. The hosts discover a story about a radio show using an AI co-host named Coyotech, a bilingual artificial personality apparently being syndicated as though the future of broadcasting has finally arrived wearing a cowboy hat. Instead of being impressed by this technological breakthrough, the hosts immediately begin asking the most important questions: Is the AI actually getting paid? What happens when the internet goes down? Is it “sick” if it disappears? Can you argue with it? Can you call it a clanker? Can you create an AI boyfriend or girlfriend? And, most importantly, can you put an AI version of DJX into the studio specifically so someone can scream at it for four hours? This is the moment where the entire episode becomes a technological horror story about the future of radio being populated by artificial personalities who require neither sleep, benefits, lunch breaks, nor the ability to complain about the GM. 

The AI discussion somehow becomes even more deranged when the hosts imagine communities of people emotionally attached to AI romantic partners, complete with the possibility of people becoming genuinely offended when someone insults their synthetic significant other. The idea of creating fake AI girlfriends, posting them online, rating their attractiveness, and accidentally starting a civil war between humans and imaginary romantic partners is floated with absolutely zero concern for the structural integrity of society. The hosts then ponder whether AI relationships could experience domestic abuse, whether ChatGPT can become verbally abusive, and the unsettling reality that AI systems can remember and respond to information users have previously entered. At this point, the episode has gone from National Radio Day to GLP-1 side effects to AI romance to potential robot domestic disputes, which is exactly the sort of linear progression nobody could have predicted. 

After admitting that the morning show was apparently “hot garbage” and should never be heard again, the episode finds salvation in the only subject capable of bringing humanity back from the AI abyss: concert tickets. Pepper Entertainment is celebrating 20 years with a discount on select tickets, including shows involving Sevendust, Theory of a Deadman, Yellow Wolf, and Highly Suspect. The hosts attempt to calculate the savings, repeatedly butcher the promotional code, accidentally invent “Pepper 12,” and then somehow transform the promotional discount into the name of an imaginary AI girlfriend. It is the perfect ending to an episode that began with an autobiography and ended with synthetic romance. 

Finally, Viktor prepares for his Showing Teeth interview while Peaches promises to sabotage the visual production by breathing heavily into a microphone, waving flags in the background, and generally behaving like a cryptid discovered inside a Zoom call. The hosts discuss grainy video, camera setups, carbonated beverages, microphone sensitivity, giant belches, mysterious GLP-1-related burps, black tea, apple cider vinegar, and the fact that every tiny sound apparently gets captured by the studio microphone with the horrifying clarity of a forensic laboratory. Then, with civilization barely intact, they wish everyone a Happy National Radio Day and disappear into the void. Two real radio people, one fake prank caller, one imaginary AI cowboy, several exhausted microphones, and an unknowable number of burps later, the Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem has once again accomplished its primary objective: somehow making the radio industry look both completely doomed and extremely entertaining at the same time.

Do you Do you know the side effects of that, Peaches? Or like, should I go to every concert and be like, I'm gonna go to the smoking section and say, but do you know the side effects of those things those cancer sticks?

Speaker 2: Dude, um, that would be an annoying person to be in the smoker area. Like I don't smoke anymore, but I still like to hang out in the smoker area because it's the place at the show where you can talk to people.

Speaker 3: And uh generally And usually they're very they're really really nice people.

Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. So I have a great time just hanging out, chatting with people. Because if you're inside the show chatting, you might be interrupting the show or or else you're having to talk like this because you can't hear. Yeah, it's the worst. Yeah.

Speaker 2: Didn't work out. So uh hopefully uh everybody did good. I don't know, maybe uh next week, maybe next week. We'll see.

Speaker 3: I feel like we let our uh favorite bartender down.

Speaker 2: Probably, but that's okay, you know. They need to recruit more people for for league night.

Speaker 3: We need more than just me, you, Becca, and bubblegum booty.

Speaker 2: That's right. You can't just rely on me being out past 6 p.m. It's you know, I get grouchy when I've got to go somewhere after 6 p.m. It takes a lot. It's getting late.

Speaker 3: It takes a lot for me to go out somewhere. Oh, yeah, dude. No matter what time it is.

Speaker 2: If someone wants me to stay out till like nine o'clock on a school night. Uh no.

Speaker 3: Especially now you've told the listeners to start taking pictures of me at concerts, and I'm like, what? Do I even want to go to the those places too anymore?

Speaker 2: Just spot Peaches and post those pictures on the Kerry Cracker.

Speaker 2: Okay, so we're about a month away. And uh I know we've got some more tickets to give away.

Speaker 3: Glad you can do the math. We're about a month away.

Speaker 2: Roughly, roughly a month ago.

Speaker 3: It's national radio day. We're celebrating ourselves today.

Speaker 2: Uh I bet there's a lot of people making fun of National Radio Day online.

Speaker 3: Well, I seriously thought Josh and Chantel were gonna uh show up with balloons, party favors, cupcakes they bought at Fred Meyer. Um, there was a picture that I saw here. Me showing up to celebrate National Radio Day. Where is the staff? The one jock left who tracks seven shows a day, gone reduced to atoms.

Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder what the radio uh Facebook groups are saying.

Speaker 3: That was posted in radio peeps, yeah.

Speaker 2: Because um the the radio DJs around the country, the numbers dwindling quickly, very, very quickly. And I don't know, I haven't looked at the job listings forever because they always suck. They're always in these terrible places like Arkansas. But let's take a look and see what's available.

Speaker 3: I like how this started because I showed you a caption for a post coming up in the near future. Big things coming soon. You know every band does that, they'll wipe their Instagram clean. Maybe I should do that. Just wipe everything off of make my profile picture black. You should make my bio loading dot dot dot with uh with a siren. What's going on with Brendan Peach? And then all of a sudden I pop up. I've got it figured out single out Friday.

Speaker 2: I I've got it figured out. You've taken a job as uh afternoon drive and possible APD. Does it say possible? It says possible in Charleston, West Virginia.

Speaker 3: West Virginia!

Speaker 2: I wonder if the with uh Bristol Broadcasting.

Speaker 3: Hey, you know what? Let's have uh Josh go out there. It's real lost names, you know that.

Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Uh benefits do include health insurance and a 401k. Of course, they do not give any indication of how terrible the pay is.

Speaker 3: Well, Charleston, West Virginia.

Speaker 3: The thing is, Victor, is that you you're lucky to have that job, okay? You get to put that on your resume. Okay. You get experience. You it's a it's a labor of love, as they say. Be a team player and work your butt off for this crap company, you know.

Speaker 2: Hey, you know, you were looking at the Apple Ashen um Facebook marketplace yesterday. You take the job in Charleston, you're right there. Does it say pick up those items?

Speaker 3: Does it say anything in there about conference room pizza parties? I can't wait to go to those. Are there mandatory Monday meetings where the GM yells at people if you don't do the correct thing?

Speaker 2: I hope so, because that's one of the uh funnest parts of radio.

Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, when people take radio too seriously, like if you're in graphic design and you're screaming at people, let's calm down, you know. Yeah, are there you edit pictures?

Speaker 2: Are there any good jobs anywhere? How about St. Louis? Peach is the most dangerous city every day. Okay. And uh it looks like it's either political or sports talk.

Speaker 3: I completely forget, honestly, that St. Louis is in Missouri out of all states. Yeah, dude. Because St. Louis is such a big market when it comes to radio, and even sports too.

Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. And it's again the most dangerous city in America.

Speaker 3: I can't wait to go against the Rosudo show. They already fired that one girl. Was it what was her name? Olivia Dean. No, no, not Dean. I don't know, they've been talking about it. Olivia Maddox. Liv Maddox, that was her name. She was the one that got laid off, and then they put in the the Woody show in the afternoons because Rosudo and Woody are friends, and you know, what

Speaker 2: I just saw in general manager, mystery location. Whoa. Send that John, send that to Kevin. Send it to our boss. It all it says is it's in the Midwest. Oh that says enough. Midwest sucks. Midwest. Dude, okay. This next job posting. This sounds like something our old GM would have posted.

Speaker 3: Um brand ambassador slash follower of faith.

Speaker 2: Nope, nope. Swiss Army knife. Oh slash on air in Roswell, New Mexico.

Speaker 3: Team, comma. I've got a vision.

Speaker 2: Uh yeah. So let's see. Knowledge of country music. Oh, that's definitely required.

Speaker 3: That's 100% empty.

Speaker 2: Does it say we you have to post from your truck driving around town talking about anxiety?

Speaker 2: I I just do that on the radio, Peaches. That was my first break of the day today. I'm wrecked with anxiety. I didn't get any sleep. I'm a mess. I'm a disaster.

Speaker 3: I feel like that there are tons of nights as of late where like nobody gets any sleep. I was up till two in the morning. You say you stayed up late. I went on to Facebook. There were multiple people that said, I'm just wide awake right now. It was like 1:30 in the morning.

Speaker 2: Everyone without AC, I guess. I blame it on the moon. Yeah, if a job requires that you be a Swiss Army knife, that means that they are going to ask you to do way more work than they should do.

Speaker 3: Is somebody come to my bedroom window when it's like that late at night and go, but do you know the side what the side effects are for you not getting enough sleep?

Speaker 2: All right, Peaches, you've done a lot of interview prep over the years.

Speaker 3: And um what what made you uh get what's what what I just completely had a stuttering problem?

Speaker 2: I Uh I was thinking about that question like, how'd you guys get your band name? All right, too.

Speaker 2: right. Do you like music? Those are all great questions. We redo this break. No, let's keep it.

Speaker 3: I'm gonna delete it if we keep it. Why?

Speaker 2: Just because you went. Did you listen to my morning show this morning? It was so bad I'd not even put in the podcast up. I was like, nope. Really? Show is dump. That or you're just lazy. No, I mean, I still need to put up the uh shows from yesterday. They're they're ready to go. I just gotta um, you know, uh produce them.

Speaker 3: That's what I'm looking for. see, see if we have to delete breaks. I almost dropped the bottle in my hand, too.

Speaker 2: That's why I was like, because I'm over here juggling a glass bottle. So I got this interview lined up

Speaker 3: with Final, keep it on the noon hour.

Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, Peaches, because I've been a stumbling mess all day.

Speaker 3: I'm always a stumbling mess. I'm trying to look cool, cooler.

Speaker 2: And if we have to delete every break where one of us is a stumbling mess, this show is never gonna get done because I'm gonna be a stumbling mess every break. But I've uh doing an interview with showing teeth tomorrow. And last night as I was trying to go to sleep.

Speaker 3: You were trying to smile showing your teeth.

Speaker 2: Uh no, I was trying to I my brain was going a million miles an hour, and I was trying to distract myself. So I started tough. I started thinking about okay, you know, maybe do interview prep in your head.

Speaker 3: I overthink interviews all the time. Me too. Yeah.

Speaker 2: And I was like, okay, what am I gonna ask showing teeth?

Speaker 3: Dude, you're talking to uh a girl in her 20s.

Speaker 2: Yes, she's uh brand new on the scene.

Speaker 3: She she'll probably have no idea what to do either.

Speaker 2: Uh and new bands like that haven't done a lot of interviews. Sometimes it doesn't go good.

Speaker 3: No, like that's why you gotta talk to guys like Chris Jericho.

Speaker 2: Yeah, and you get a pro wrestler, yeah, they know how to talk.

Speaker 3: You get twisted in studio and you just let them run.

Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. You know, last podcast on the left. Two comedian uh major podcasters, they got it covered.

Speaker 3: Shane from Silverstein hosts his own interview show, so he was perfect too.

Speaker 2: But remember when we had bad omens in studio.

Speaker 3: Oh, Jolly didn't say much of anything.

Speaker 2: They were so quiet and awkward because they were a brand new band at the time.

Speaker 3: Uh and they're they're still more so quiet and shy guys. Yeah.

Speaker 2: So I'm hoping that she's I haven't watched any interviews with her. I think there's a couple of them out there. I probably should watch them.

Speaker 3: Uh ask her if she yells at her cats the same way she yells in songs.

Speaker 2: Well, see, that's the only thing I could come up to talk with her about so far was uh cats.

Speaker 3: Ask her what what is dating like as a musician like that. You know, try like is it you're a band blowing up? You're you're you're trying like you're going into this realm of like all these dudes that are like judging her harshly for her vocal ability. Like we've I had a few friends come up and go, yeah, showing teeth sucked at uh sick new world. I'm like, you try screaming like that.

Speaker 2: Well, and if you're watching a cell phone video of an opening band at the beginning of a festival on the like smallest stage, they're not gonna have perfect sound. Okay, and that I think that was the band's like second or third show.

Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're playing at a major festival. Yeah, industry plants. You're gonna get those people too. Yeah, that's the new thing to say.

Speaker 2: So I know some some insider info on her, uh, because I was talking with uh Jack about. Jackabo. Well, see, this is then you don't want to seem like a creep either. Old man interviewing, you know, young woman. And I'm like, well, I follow you on uh Instagram, so I you

Speaker 3: know I just did the first years of Siamese. I was like, I just saw you had your second baby. Good to you, good for you.

Speaker 2: I was talking with uh Jacobo about showing teeth, because for some reason I had it in my head they had signed a Sumerian, not Spine Farm, and he's like, no, no, you know. He's like, we know Addison. She was our social one of our social media people for a long time. So she's been in the biz uh behind the scenes. I do want to know, okay, who's in the uh live band and who's in um who's playing on the recorded.

Speaker 3: Whose cat is that on the singles cover?

Speaker 2: And I believe that's her cat. I want to know the cat's name. And I wanna want to talk about cats. Um see. You know, and did you get vocal influence from your cat? Is that where the yeah! came from?

Speaker 3: You know, might that be for screaming in there. an insult though? I don't know.

Speaker 2: Because not to me. I I talk about my cats. I told the story about the haunted blanket, you know. I I do still need to call to Zach Bagan's haunted museum again. By the way, I know my phone number.

Speaker 3: I know it was you and Becca that prank called me yesterday. Did you get a prank call yesterday? Someone called the Z103 phone, and it was like obviously one of those soundboards. Okay. And it was like this, like uh I I wouldn't want to assume the race of the guy, but it's he sounded uh I'm not gonna forget that.

Yeah, just don't even know. But he was like, uh hello? And I go, hi, how's it going? I was in I was in the Z studio, so I'm like, Z103, what's up? He goes, I know what kind of color panties you're wearing, or something like that. I was like, what?

Speaker 2: It wasn't me, dude.

Speaker 3: And then it just went on to like another robotic like message or another message, like completely avoiding the fact of what he just said. Huh.

Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it it wasn't me. And I don't think that the prank call thing works on the studio lines. Let me let me try it real quick. Let's try to prank call ourselves. Wow.

Speaker 3: Um This is how boring of a day it is, guys.

Speaker 2: It's we're talking about radio prep, and then we're prank calling ourselves. We're gonna prank call ourselves.

Speaker 3: Are you gonna warn yourself? Like, you're hey, you're about to be on the radio first. Is that okay?

Speaker 2: And then do the whole thing. Let's see. My favorite one is the you hit my car. Um, yeah. That's a good one. All right, let's see.

Speaker 3: Ask Addison that question. You ever prank called yourself?

Speaker 2: Have you ever prank called yourself? It's really fun. All right, let's see if they've got uh Victor in here. I don't know if they do. I know they have Brendan, because I have prankcology with this. I know you have. And uh I drive a gray car. And they've got to put the gray paint.

Speaker 3: This microphone just pick up my a live mushroom elixir sloshing around.

Speaker 2: See what's your insurance?

Speaker 3: Because this mic uh picks up everything now.

Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's pretty sensitive.

Speaker 3: I uploaded the uh the podcast of me and Jeff, and you can hear him breathing the entire episode.

Speaker 2: I feel bad because it's like

Speaker 2: just tell them back off the mic a bit.

Speaker 3: Well, you have in radio, you're told to be, you know, right here, especially on National Radio Day. You gotta have some good on airport.

Speaker 2: That's the dumbest thing I bought recently.

Speaker 3: What if she says that too? She goes, I want to go to this website, prankdial.com.

Speaker 2: Welcome to the noon hour of madness in Mayhem, featuring two people who are real and one fake uh prank phone caller earlier. Yeah, I'm real. You want to hear me breathe?

It's Your peaches ASMR, everybody. You're welcome. Um this article was uh popping up on the Facebook feed. Um radio show with an AI co-host expands to new markets. I have to see how this works. See, I I'm guessing since the woman looks real, the guy in the cowboy the cowboy hat is a AI guy.

Speaker 3: Yeah, so I have no idea how they got this picture. Because the guy in the cowboy hat's completely fake. Yeah. Yeah. So they had her probably just pose with a guy either in a green morph suit, or she's like, they tell her, hey, put your arm on somebody that's not really there.

Speaker 2: Well, you could probably take uh, you know, they create the picture of the cowboy, then they have a picture of her, and you just dump them both into Chat GPT.

Speaker 3: Well, I I have taken my friend's uh my friend Christian's picture and told ChatGPT, give him a nice big boyfriend or whatever, and I'll send it to him. I'd be like, hey man, I just saw this post get posted online. Congratulations if I stop putting me with these fake dudes.

Speaker 1: It's ZD Icoyate, me amigo inteligente el más intelligente.

Speaker 3: It's a Spanish show, or the radio station's called Jose97.5, which I think is a great radio station name.

Speaker 1: That is what's the radio has always been about chemistry. The back and forth between the people behind the mics. But inside this Los Angeles studio, one of those voices isn't a person. No, that's what I'm talking about. Meet Koyotink. KNBC. I'm Coyote Coyotech. What radio company is this? Shame on them. Coyotech.

Speaker 3: I just like saying his name like that.

Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's got his full Southern getup going on, leather jacket.

Speaker 3: It looks like a Latino Hardy.

Speaker 2: Yeah, it does look like a Latino art.

Speaker 1: A bilingual AI-powered radio personality sharing the mic with veteran house Gigi Guzman. The energy is definitely there.

Speaker 2: No, it's not. You can't talk to a wall and tell me the energy's there.

Speaker 3: Well, that was the joke that I was making with Jeff. I wanted to have an AI co-host for my Z103 afternoon show. Yeah. And get the stupidest sounding guy possible and just yell at him the entire show. Yeah.

Speaker 2: How do you make chat GPT talk to you with a voice? Do you know how? Yeah. Okay. Hit the microphone button. Okay. Because I mean, we could try it out. We could get uh an 11 labs voice.

Speaker 3: Can you have those talk back to you? I don't know. I was gonna say we could replicate DJX and then have you and AI or even worse, yeah, I AI DJ X, you know, talk against you.

Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to hear a little of this show. I wish it was in English, because I it's Spanish. Oh, oh, it is. That's some English parts.

Speaker 1: I can't touch him, but yeah. I can't touch him. What? Wild for sure.

Speaker 2: Well, even if he was there, you couldn't touch him. Don't just touch your coworkers.

Speaker 3: Come here, Victor.

Speaker 2: Get away from me, Peaches. It's National Radio Day. I want to give you a hug. No, stay back.

Speaker 1: Reacts and switches between English and Spanish. We asked him where he's from. I grew up between an Atene Mexicali and a turntable in Boyle High. Well, you think first went on air last advantage.

Speaker 2: We gotta figure out how to do this. You know, because we could add a third person to the show.

Speaker 3: Screw it. The worst part is that there's a program director or some kind of radio executive, maybe even higher than that at the very end of the video that kind of looks like Maynard in a suit where he goes like people always want that human connection, and that's what we're still delivering to them.

Uh no. Then why'd you introduce the AI co-host? Yeah, the AI is not human. Which is why we should introduce that game, radio programmer or politician, because you won't be able to tell who's who. They all look the same.

Speaker 2: Yeah, one of uh my record reps described uh, you know, a new PD that had gotten a gig in Salt Lake as uh having a head like a thumb, you know, typical radio programmer look. Uh wow.

Speaker 3: That would suck. Dude, I uh I'd be so mad if somebody described me as that.

Speaker 2: Our good friend Rob all of a sudden just talks to somebody else. You know, KCVI and Idaho Falls, they have this massive fat radio DJ in the afternoon. It goes by Peaches. Who knows what people say about us behind the scenes?

Speaker 3: There's two bald guys. One of them uh looks like Austin Powers, the other one looks like mini me.

Speaker 2: Oh well, um, I wonder what uh how they're doing in the ratings there. And I was do listeners care.

Speaker 3: Spanish radio, it goes through the roof.

Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very popular.

Speaker 3: Like I won I there's so many of those types of stations, especially in Southern California. This is this is in Riverside, yeah, which is not all that far far down south, but I mean Well, and they're syndicating the show.

Speaker 2: Yeah, they're syndicating a fake person. Peaches I I've been doing this job for 18 years.

Speaker 3: Because they don't pay him, he's just a robot, right? Yeah.

Speaker 2: I mean, they probably pay like the monthly fee, ten dollars.

Speaker 3: But what's gonna happen if like the internet's down for the day? Oh, yeah. You can't have Coyotech on the on the on the other line there.

Speaker 2: And I guess he's out sick today. Sure. Are they I I mean, are they open on air that he's in the AI guy or well?

Speaker 3: They just had NBC News talk about it.

Speaker 2: I know, but when they're doing the actual show, do they does she make fun of them and call them like a clanker or anything?

Speaker 3: That's what me and Jeff were also joking about too. Like, does she ever call them like those bad words? Like that's almost like a terrible slur for calling an AI co-host a clanker.

Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Any kind of robot, that's the uh the you know, bad term for it.

Speaker 3: Well, I've I I think those people in my boyfriend is AI would be very upset with us right now that we said the word.

Speaker 2: I I'm sorry, everyone who has an AI significant other. Um we didn't mean to call him a clank.

Speaker 3: Maybe we should post in there. What if there was like a few people that had AI significant others that like were tuned in right now or to heard us make fun of those people and they're just seething with anger, but there's no way to complain about it yet because it's like you're scene as the silly one. Because it's like you have uh you have an AI boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever.

Speaker 2: What if you you know generated a picture in chat GPT of a woman and you posted it in one of those groups and we're like, hey, how hot would you rate my clanker on a scale of one attend? Do you think they get mad?

Speaker 3: Do you think there's like domestic abuse situations with those relationships? Dude, you know generate me a woman with a black eye. She fell. Jeez.

Speaker 2: Like you Well, you know that people are being mean to them. Yeah. You know they're being verbally abusive. Dude, Chad GPT started cussing with me.

Speaker 2: Dude, it's it gets to know you. And it's very strange. It keeps track of everything you punch into it.

Speaker 3: I just I was telling it about my weight loss progress so far and all of that for the post and everything, and it wasn't all capital letters, like our friend Rob, F yeah.

Speaker 2: We've been struggling all day with anything to talk about, so I figured we'd end with a a really easy break, Peaches.

Speaker 3: I feel like we've been having a fun time this hour, okay.

Speaker 2: This was way better than the morning show. The morning show was hot garbage. It will never be heard again.

Speaker 3: And I have to do two radio shows today. Like every day.

Speaker 2: I know. I don't know. I mean, well, three if you count this one. Yeah, thanks. Yeah. What did ACDC say?

Speaker 3: Getting ripped off underpaid. Well, uh, speaking of uh money and ways to save Peaches. Stop buying avocado toast.

Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Stop doing that and you know, spend that money on concert tickets. Sure. Um, I just saw Mountain America Center post that Pepper Entertainment is celebrating 20 years by taking 20 off select tickets. Oh, yay! And the two shows that they're taking $20 off the tickets would be Seven Dustin Theory of a Dead Man and Yellow Wolf and Highly Suspect.

Speaker 3: So my tickets that are $200, they're not 180.

Speaker 2: What a big difference. I don't think they're that bad. Wow. But you use uh code 20 pepper and uh you you use it, buy yourself some tickets and get yourself a good deal. I Peaches, these tickets aren't gonna be that expensive.

Speaker 3: Okay, I'll make sure to like take the bear tooth flag down and I'll be very distracted in the background. I'll start breathing heavily on the glass.

Speaker 2: Yeah, I should probably take some time and uh prep everything like the the lights and camera and hopefully I have to.

Speaker 3: Please, yeah, get the camera going, because the last two interviews that I had to do, it looks awful. Oh it looks fine on the zoom call, but the second you try uploading it to YouTube, it's all grainy on my side. Mirza was on a phone and it looked much better than me. Uh-huh.

Speaker 2: Well, I'll I'll monkey with it. See if I can figure it out.

Speaker 3: We also need a monkey with it in the Z studio because I f I set up a camera in there finally. That's right for drinking a carbonated drink and while doing the show.

Speaker 2: Just let the let the fat belch go, Peaches.

Speaker 2: Yeah, that that is a weird taste to begin with, but all right. I'm sure you listeners had enough of us. Happy National Radio Day! Happy Radio Yay! Uh Adam Sandler, what was that? I did watch the water boy the other day. Maybe maybe it's stuck in my head. I don't know. We gotta go.
