The Noon Hour Of Madness & Mayhem can be heard live on KBEAR 101 weekdays at 12pm MST. Viktor and Peaches talk about a wide variety of topics depending on the day and you never know what to expect!
[upbeat music] The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast.
It's the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, and what is happening, Peaches?
I know you were, you were devastated yesterday. That's why you took the day off.
I know. [cries]
You were just utterly emotionally shocked-
Oh, I couldn't believe it
... to find out-
What, what happened?
... that Tom Segura and Christina P-
Oh [laughs]
... are, are getting a divorce-
Oh, no, not-
... after 18 years of being together
... not Tom. Not Tom and Christina.
Good old, good old Papa Jeans, Mommy Jeans, you know?
Didn't they used to do a podcast together?
They still do.
Oh, they-
And they're still going to do during this whole divorce. Now, people are speculating that this is a marketing tactic because there was that one time when there was a hurricane somewhere, I forgot exactly where. There was, like, some severe storm, and Tom and Christina pretended like they were stuck, and sure enough, TMZ was like, "Tom and Christina stuck on, on, on this island."
And he just made it up?
And they were just joking.
[laughs]
But
multiple news outlets reported that these two were getting a divorce. It was bigger-
Yeah
... than Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo.
I saw it everywhere, and I was like-
Poor Jelly Roll
... why do people care? But-
Jelly Roll has been stress eating. I read about that.
Oh, has he? Oh.
He might get fat again.
[laughs]
Yeah, I was talking about this on the air yesterday. Now, if I lose all this weight and somebody brings the hashtag, bring back the fat Peaches-
[laughs]
... I'll get very sad.
I'm gonna do it.
Like they're doing for Caleb Shomo of Beartooth. They're doing for-
Oh, that's messed up
... they're doing for Tom Segura. They're doing for, um-
What are they doing-
... Jelly Roll.
What are they doing for Tom, stop being a smug, rich dude?
That, that's, that's the problem, is that he's gotten so much money now, or he's gotten so much, like, h- he- his, his wealth has gotten to his head.
Well, and he's rude about it.
Yes.
Like, very condescending, and, like, I could see a joke here and there, but I've, I've seen so many clips of him just being, like, a smug, rich turd.
Well, there was a, a, a good ... There was a long time there he was making fun of wrestling overall, calling it stupid and all these other names.
Yeah.
And sure enough, where does he pop up? Monday Night Raw.
Of course. Of course.
Does it for the money.
[laughs]
It was him and Bert backstage.
Yeah, I've s- I've seen a number of, uh, accusations of potential publicity stunts recently. Did you see what happened with, uh, Charlie Crockett and Twin Temple?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
That was hilarious. I, so here's the thing. I'm so out of touch, I thought Charlie Crockett was, like, a country singer from the 1950s.
He sounds like it.
I, I didn't realize this was a modern person.
Yeah, he sounds like, uh, 1950s, which is why it almost makes sense, you know, sonically from a sound perspective-
To have-
... Twin Temple.
Yeah.
They might fit together really good. But, you know, the country audience [laughs] the average country fan,
ah, I don't know-
They show up to, like, a carnival with that, "I, I exercised my Second Amendment" with, like, the AK on their shirt.
Do you ... Th- if they saw Twin Temple live, 'cause I've seen them a couple times, um-
They unironically wear camo pants.
Yeah, they, it, it could bother them a little bit.
They wear boots everywhere. It's like, dude, this is, this is Costco. You don't need to wear cowboy boots here.
Like, I remember the first time I saw Twin Temple, they were opening for Ghost, I believe, in Salt Lake, and I w- was looking around at the crowd when they were-
[laughs]
... ending their set 'cause they do this ritual at the end of their set.
Oh, I saw them live when they opened up for Ghost.
And yeah, looking around, there were people who did not like that.
It was me and Phyllis sitting at the Fort Idaho Center, and she loved them so much she bought their vinyl, and I think the vinyl was, like, dripping blood.
[laughs] And how you can take Twin Temple seriously? [laughs] It's doo-wop music with a, a s- a satanic theme. It's like people who take Ghost seriously.
Right.
It's like, listen to the music and watch the stage show.
Well, there was that whole thing-
Very silly
... with Bring Me The Horizon when that last album was, uh, w- when the al- last album got released. There's that particular song with, uh, Spencer of Underoath.
Mm-hmm.
And there's a lyric in there that could be very offensive, is very offensive to, uh, devout religious followers.
Yeah.
And people were, like, trying to cancel Bring Me The Horizon a- saying, like, "Oh, I thought they were a Christian band." And I c- I can't believe people are obsessed with, like, Christian rock as much as they are. There was that one lady that was wanting an all-day Sunday Christian rock feature on KBEAR.
We, there's not enough of it for us to play.
And I'm like, why would we wanna do that?
You know, we'd have, like, we'd have Skillet, Thousand Foot Krutch, Red. Um,
I, I don't know. I, I'm sure there were a few others, but you couldn't do it all day. You might be able to do, like,
like a four-song feature every Sunday-
Yeah
... or something.
For Christians only.
But generally, the Christian rock bands don't sing about Jesus anyway. Like Skillet, you know, they might have a few songs, but their hit songs are just, like, uh-
I feel like a monster.
I feel like a monster.
I'm awake and alive.
[laughs] Ex- exactly.
I wanna scream.
[laughs] I wanna scream. [laughs] So yeah, um, people just need to settle down a little bit. Uh, Charlie Crockett, though, he's being, like,
a smug turd about this whole Twin Temple t- thing too and acting like he just didn't know them. But there's, I think there's photos of him at, uh, like a Danzig party that he and Shooter Jennings were at, and Shooter Jennings produced the new Twin Temple album.
And it-
Like-
And Danzig's pretty dark, isn't he?
Yeah, Danzig-
Yeah. [laughs]
He's, like, one ... He's the, the original singer of the Misfits, man.
I, I have a, a poster that has Danzig in blood red font.
Yeah.
And there's a dripping goat skull-
Yeah
... with these other skull candles next to that, and it's definitely satanic-looking.
Yeah.
But did you see what Jack White did in response? To Charlie Crockett?
Yeah.
I thought that was hilarious too.
Yeah, Jack White's like, "Come on, Twin Temple, let's do it. Let's do some shows."
Would you rather t- tour with the White Stripes or would you rather [laughs] tour with Charlie Crockett?
Yeah. Hmm.
Charlie Crockett-
Hmm
... sounds like a failed steakhouse.
[laughs]
Why does, like, Charlie... "Che- let's go to Charlie Crockett. They got that $30 T-bone."
And he, you know, again, ain't bad, 'cause he, he just does old-school classic country music, but his response to this whole thing has made me not, not a fan.
Oh, Charlie Crockett.
'Cause it's like, dude, don't lie. You knew who the opener was. You knew who was gonna open your shows.
It's like Dave Mustaine.
And somebody whined to you and you threw 'em off at the last minute.
Remember when Dave Mustaine had that meltdown? [laughs]
Hmm. Same deal.
Missed that one bet. [laughs]
It's like, are you not involved? Okay, be more involved in your career.
But like I told you, when I interviewed Dave Mustaine, I was like, "Hey, have you heard of this band, Bad Omens?" He's like, "I like that name. I've never heard of them before."
A lot, yeah, I guess these guys, a lot of 'em-
Slipknot he's never heard of?
How weird.
That was back in, like-
Like a, a year ago
... 2023.
Or two. Still, though.
When they, w- w- w- whenever they played in Pocatello with Biohazard.
Yeah, and those bands were both massive at that time. I, old people stop listening to new music. It happens. [upbeat music] It's the noon hour of madness and mayhem. What's up, Peaches?
Uh, you just got, uh, a bad case of FOMO from what it seems like.
Yeah, and so, I'm, I'm, I'm looking up on my phone here. We're gonna try to call somebody if they still have the same number [laughs] that they had
a really long time ago.
Do you think we should, uh, call them on the studio phone?
Uh, yeah, 'cause that'll be even more fun-
Maybe they would recognize-
... and it'll sound better
... the, uh, the phone number and be like, "All right."
I mean, I would hope.
'Cause that person just commented on your thing about taking live callers on the radio.
Oh, they did.
Yeah.
Okay. All right. Well, let's call them. Um, I'm gonna have it muted here so we don't have a hacker.
[laughs] Dox this person, dox this person. [laughs]
Yeah. You know, we don't want them to be able to hear the number and figure out what it is.
Why don't you give her a call and say,
"Uh, where's my credit card, Robert?" [phone ringing]
[laughs]
I, I need to get my headphones on. Hey, I'm, okay, hold on.
All right. [phone ringing] It's ringing. She could be working. I don't know. We're gonna try. [phone ringing]
I know she knows this number. [laughs] The hotline.
Yeah.
[laughs] She knows 53... or s- is, yeah, it's 535-1015. I almost said the old number.
Hello there. Thank you so much for reaching out. Uh, unfortunately, I'm not able to get to the phone right now, and it could be I'm just not standing in the one spot in my dining room where I can actually make and receive calls. And so-
Oh
... a text could possibly work. Uh, if you don't feel like texting, go ahead and leave me a voicemail, and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I hope you have a lovely day.
At the tone, please record your message.
We'll leave her a message.
When you've finished recording, you may hang up or press one for more options. [beep]
Now, you didn't say the name of yourself on your, your answering machine/voicemail, but I'm assuming this is the one and only Piper Finney, formerly of KBEAR. It's, uh, me, Victor, and I've got Peaches here.
Hi, Piper. W- w- we've only talked, like, once.
Yeah, and w- we were trying to call you, but apparently you weren't in the one area of your dining room where you can receive phone calls. So, uh, y- you don't need to call us back or anything. I just wanted to inform you that, uh, you need to have a guest bedroom ready on Saturday, September 5th, uh-
Victor likes seltzer water
... I, uh-
Uh, make sure to have that in the fridge.
I do enjoy some seltzer water.
Have some nice beef sticks, uh, some Chomps-
And I-
... ready to go bedside
... I, I think in North Carolina it g- it gets a bit humid, right, Peaches?
Uh, maybe. I don't know.
So-
Never been there
... I'd prefer, uh, central air and/or air conditioning of some sort.
Yeah, Victor's a fat dude, so come on.
I, I don't like it when it's real, like, hot. Um, but-
September 5th, it shouldn't be too bad.
Hmm, September, you never know. You never know. So September 5th, uh, I don't know how many of us are coming to stay at your house, Piper, but it, it could be a big crew as we come to v- you know, check out Acid Bath, Neurosis, Melvins, and Kylesa live at a place called Hellbender, which is a great name for, for a venue.
Especially for an Acid Bath show.
Yeah. So, um, you know, just start getting the, the guest rooms ready, and, uh, we'll be, we'll be there to see you soon.
I wonder if Charlie Crockett's ever performed there.
[laughs] It has the word hell in the title, so if he's a-
I refuse
... if he's afraid of Twin Temple, I'm, I'm guessing he's probably not gonna play that venue anytime. [laughs]
He'll perform at the church across the street like a good boy.
[laughs] So yeah, Piper, we'll see you here in, um, just about a month and a half as a matter of fact, since we're halfway through July, and tell Greg hello. All right, uh, let's hang up on Piper. All right, so there we go. We're gonna go visit Piper. That, that's the best Acid Bath lineup I've seen yet.
Yeah?
Acid Bath with Neurosis, Melvins, and Kylesa.
That's definitely your show.
That, that, that's it.
All it's missing is Tool and Devin Townsend, and that's the ultimate dream Victor Wolf festival.
Dude, the heaviest band that I've ever seen live was Melvins, like, as far as just crushingly heavy. Neurosis, I've been told, is even heavier, and Acid Bath was really heavy, but they were, when I saw them, they were on, you know, a festival stage. It's gonna be a little bit different than when you're the headliner dialing in your stuff. So if you wanna go get crushed, uh, you gotta go to Asheville, North Carolina, which is a ways. But, uh, Piper, I think everyone's welcome to stay at her house. I'll, I'll go ahead and just say That's approved
I'm, I'm looking up flights right now
Okay, yeah. Look, look around that weekend, Peaches-
[laughs]
See what you can find.
Oh.
I'm, I'm sure they're dirt cheap, right?
About $400.
Okay. All right.
Let's, uh, do September 4th through the 11th.
I bet the-
Oh, there we go. It's even worse, 547.
And I bet the tickets are gonna suck, too. Well, maybe, maybe, maybe Piper, you're gonna be free from guests. We'll see. [upbeat music] It's the noon hour of madness and mayhem, and-
[laughs]
What you got, Peaches? You're chuckling over there
There are two different things we can talk about here. Why, why don't, why don't we start with this one?
Okay.
Um-
We'll do this one and we'll do the other one next break
No matter how much I cry ... Now here's the thing.
[laughs]
Here's the thing. If you, if you are actually dealing with any mental health issues, go see somebody. Dial 988. We're not making fun of people with mental health issues, dealing with any kind of, uh, trauma or, or anything like that.
Peaches and I both suffer from mental health issues, you know?
You suffer.
I-
I, I am bettering myself-
Okay, I just su-
... during this time
I just suffer. I need to book some counseling appointments. I've been sucking at that, but I have been taking my medication.
I'm like Chuck Norris-
Actually, I'll, I'll take four a night
... I tell my, I tell my counselor what to do.
[laughs]
[laughs] Yeah.
So let me get out my mental health meds. Thank you for reminding me, Peaches. I need to take those. But go ahead.
Hey, you can't just pull out a needle in the middle of the studio, Victor.
Peaches, I-
[laughs]
... I like it to quickly enter my bloodstream.
Vic, you can't roll that paper. Come on.
[laughs]
Get that outta here. [laughs]
[laughs] I gotta deal with my depression.
And so there's a weird smell in here now. [laughs]
This'll help my depression. [laughs]
[laughs] So yeah, no kidding. Um, no matter how, how bad it gets for me, I am never gonna be that person that posts a teary-eyed selfie on Facebook-
Oh
... and says, "Heavy heart today. Anyone else?" [laughs]
I hate it when ... Don't vaguebook.
Th-
Don't vaguebook, everybody.
This has-
Let 'em know what the problem is
... 12,000 likes. [laughs]
12,000 likes?
And over 3,000 comments.
Do you still have the crying, um, filter on your phone?
Oh, I do. I mean, yeah, I can, I can-
Will you take a picture of me?
Sure.
And I'll, I'll post it, and I'll leave the exact same caption-
Here
... that she did on her phone.
Should I turn this light on? Oh, I'm about to knock the light over.
Yeah, yeah. Light, lighten it up. [laughs]
[laughs]
All right. Text that over to me.
[laughs]
[laughs]
And include the exact caption from her, her post so I can see if I can get a ... I don't know. I think, uh, women crying online are gonna get more sympathy than a man. [laughs]
Yeah, yeah. Like, like I told you, it's like the time when I posted that Instagram picture and I said, "I'm about as ugly as this ugly Christmas sweater," and all my friends were like, "Yeah, you are."
[laughs] Exactly.
And then, like, my sister, she's posting these, like, little, little dainty selfies here and there, and her friends are like, "Oh my gosh, you slay," you know, all this stuff.
[laughs]
And it's like, no dude is gonna say, "Oh my gosh, you slay," unless, you know, they're try- they're trying to-
Oh, I ... There's this one account that I w- I think I got a friend request from it, and it appeared real. I'm still not sure if it's a real person. It might be AI, it might not. Uh, but it's, it's a woman, and-
I'm, I'm making this your new contact photo. I'm sorry.
[laughs] It's gonna pop up. She pops up on my page all the time, and you know how you've used ChatGPT enough to, like, read a caption and it's got the emojis and, like, dashes and-
The em dashes, yeah
... and it just looks like ChatGPT wrote it. So this, this wo-
That's not this. That's this. Yeah, I've seen the-
So this woman's page, I, I would've deleted it, but I'm just, like, sitting there laughing hysterically reading all the thirsty dudes commenting on her posts where she's talking about mental health problems. [laughs] And-
It's a fake person talking about mental health
I, I don't know. I can't tell if she's fake, but I don't also wanna start messaging her and be like, "Hey, are you AI?" And-
Dude
... then all of a sudden I'm in a conversation with some woman. A- a- so I just sit back and read the dudes who are like, "I could help you feel better about that bipolar disorder." [laughs]
You, you know what's hilarious?
Like, dudes, stop.
There was one listener that, he's older. I say was one listener. He's still alive.
Okay.
I think.
Oh, but he doesn't listen to us anymore.
He no longer listens to us because at one point we were making fun of old dudes flirting with AI, uh, profiles on Facebook-
[laughs]
... and this guy was guilty of doing that. He would share their pictures and be like-
[laughs]
... "Look at this beaut."
Oh, no.
And there was one time I p- like, I posted something in the K-Bear group, and he said, "This is why I no longer listen to K-Bear," and then he just deleted the group, the page, a- a- both of us o- off of his friends list.
Wow.
Yeah, so the guy must-
That's pretty-
... be a really sour, you know, boomer
I'd say ... I mean, we're just trying to let people know there are AI people out there. I get friend requests from clearly AI profiles all the time.
I can guarantee you no woman ever is going to look at their comments section, see this 65-year-old man going, "Oh, look at the pair on that one," or whatever-
[laughs]
... and she's gonna be like, "Wow, I really like that guy. I should give him a chance."
I know ... Y- the things that you see guys post or that you read about, you know, girls getting messages about or ... Like, Becca's told me about or shown me some of the messages she gets, and I'm just like, "What guys think these are gonna get 'em anywhere?"
Right.
[laughs] You know? I mean, maybe it works with some
... Probably not the type of women you want to actually date.
Yeah, no kidding.
Yeah. But I, I don't know. I just don't get it. Like, could you imagine Peaches
just
Pulling down your pants, taking a picture, and just sending it to a stranger?
Yeah, let's do it right now.
Am I good to... [laughs]
Here.
How about-
Here, I'll get myself ready to go. You get the camera going.
We already got one picture of me ready.
[laughs]
We can take another one. Here's why he's crying.
With the same filter as your pants off.
[upbeat music]
[laughs] And crying.
[laughs]
All right, Peaches, I have officially made the post. [laughs] Peaches used the crying Snapchat filter on me, and, um, I replicated a post made by [laughs] this one woman.
There it is in your Facebook.
[laughs]
I'll give it a laugh react.
[laughs] So you know how, like, uh, you- you've kinda, i- I don't know if you taught me this, or, like, I just stole this habit from you. Like, every morning you log onto Facebook and you just say happy birthday to whoever's birthday it is that day.
Yeah.
And-
Just go down the list. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
There's been times where I've said happy birthday to a dead person.
Yeah, I've done that too. [laughs]
Um-
That sucks
... I said happy birthday to a stripper today. Um-
[laughs]
There was apparently a, a stripper that added me from the Boise area that I- I've never gone to any clubs or anything like that.
Yeah, sure.
And especially over in Boise, out of all places.
[laughs]
Boise, Idaho, here I come with my ones.
[laughs]
I'll be sitting there like that picture you just posted of my crying emote. "I don't wanna be here."
[laughs]
But I said happy birthday to this person th- using a stripper name by the name of Ginger. So I said, "Happy birthday, Ginger."
[laughs]
And she just went, "Thanks." And I went, "Oh."
Oh. Yeah, um-
I have more of a stripper name than she does. Here's Peaches on the stage.
Yeah. Again, if you are just tuning in, Peaches and I are all about, you know, mental health. Last month was Men's Mental Health Month. As we discussed many times, both Peaches and I suffer from mental health issues.
Again, you suffer. I flourish. I'm digging deep. I'm listening to David Goggins. You know, gotta put yourself in the trenches, Victor. Gotta be the, the alpha male.
I mean, if you wanna clearly see me suffer, just go to-
Inside you there are two wolves. [laughs]
Just go look at my Facebook page [laughs] and you can clearly see me suffering.
[laughs] They're gonna think I'm such a... For, for those people who don't listen, especially if we turn down the transmitters and nobody hears this noon hour-
Oh, yeah. What if we go off-air?
People are gonna, people are gonna think I'm just laughing at you crying.
[laughs]
[laughs]
Oh, I'm just waiting to start getting the messages rolling in. "What's wrong, dude?" [laughs] "What happened?"
'Cause we're, we're pre-recording this at 10:30 in the morning.
Yeah.
Because, speaking of mental health, I got my counseling appointment at 11:15.
Very nice, Peaches.
So I'm gonna tell my counselor, "Hey, my, my coworker might need some help."
Yeah. It's a good thing I took my medication, 'cause, you know, I gotta get this crying out of my system here.
Somebody commented, "Someone give this man a tissue."
[laughs]
And there's two laugh reacts, and it's me and Apollo. Shout out, Apollo.
See, and Apollo, he hasn't even heard this bit yet.
[laughs]
So.
He's a, he's a loyal listener.
[laughs] Um, people ain't taking me seriously, Peaches. [laughs]
[laughs]
I don't understand this. [laughs] [upbeat music] The Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem is a production of Riverbend Media Group. For more information or to contact the show, visit riverbendmediagroup.com. [upbeat music]
