Ep. 4 - 12/03/2024

On today's show, we discussed what is the worst gift we have ever received, some weird would you rather questions, most pretentious drinks to order at a bar, and we talked a lot about movies in the last break. 

What is Noon Hour Of Madness & Mayhem?

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!

The noon hour of madness and mayhem powered by Jalisco's, the podcast. Victor, I got a question for you here. I got answers. What was the worst gift you've ever received for for Christmas or maybe even your birthday? We can make it universal.

Say the worst gift you've ever received overall. I'm gonna go with a sweater, multiple sweaters. What's wrong with those sweaters? They're not my style. Oh, come on.

You know, these are, like, light color like a light gray with some blue stripes. I ain't gonna wear that. Of course, I would wear something like that. Yeah. Not me, though.

I accept any gift. I don't care if it's socks, underwear, whatever. See, socks and underwear, you know, that's a different kind of thing than a main piece like a sweater. Alright? I see.

All black clothing all the time. The louder the clothes, the better. You've seen some of my shoes. Yeah. See, that's not my style.

Every once in a great while, I'll throw on a tie dye, and I feel like, well, I'm going crazy. Look at all the color. When you wear that Trivium shirt that's like a a a olive green Mhmm. Yeah. That that throws me off.

I'm like, woah. Victor's in a different color. Yeah. I've got, you know, maybe, 5 shirts that are not black. I've got a, gray Mario shirt.

I've got that green shirt. I've got a red shirt that says you know, it's just like a Heinz logo, but that one's just too bold. I can't wear that. I'm sick and tired of, like, every one of my band shirts being black. Like, I've now started looking for other band shirts that are other colors.

Like, my I Day to Remember shirt that I just bought over the weekend, it showed up, and I I was wearing it. I'm like, this kinda looks like my skin color. It looks like I'm not wearing a shirt at all. Looks like I'm wearing a a Data Remember logo on my chest. Yeah.

See, that that would make me feel really awkward. Yeah. I I I can't it's like something out of the corner of my eye if I see those bright colors. I'm like, you know? The worst the worst is like a white T shirt.

I can't think of oh, the white T shirt is not nearly as bad as the gray T shirt. If you ever wear a gray T shirt on a hot summer day, it it's it's awful. Yeah. Yeah. It is.

Because you'll see the sweat. You'll see the the the curvature of your, your giant stomach. You know? Right. I'm not talking about you.

I'm talking about myself. Well, I I can feel that. I can feel that too. Right. I saw the video of myself yesterday.

Oh. I'm glad I wasn't wearing a gray shirt. Yeah. I saw the video of myself. Man, I need to lay off the the fast food.

We talked about this on yesterday's show. Now what do you think is the worst gift you've ever gotten? I don't know. See, that's the thing. My parents like to prank me.

They like to send me, like, the Roto Wipe. And have you seen the box for that? No. It's stupid. It's like a a toilet paper on a wheel that rotates when when you're done doing your business.

Okay. But it's a prank box, and then they put, like, an actual item inside the box type thing. I can't really think of any that's why I was asking you. Like, I can't think of any terrible gifts that I have gotten. I mean, and it's not like these were, you know, crappy sweaters.

They were good quality. They were comfortable, but they weren't my style. Like, the person you know, the family member who bought them for me, I'm like, what, you know, inspired you to buy this? My grandpa did get me a very ugly sweater with no intent at all of making it an ugly Christmas sweater or having me use it as an ugly Christmas sweater. But you did.

I wore it to an ugly Christmas sweater party, and everyone was like, that's hideous. And I'll I'll show you a picture of it. I have a I have it on my Instagram, I think, from years ago. Yeah. Let me cast judgment.

But my grandpa and my my it's funny. Both grandparents, both sets of grandparents on my mom and dad's side, would just get rid of things and call it cleaning, but they would give it to us. Okay. So my grandma on my dad's side, she smoked for many years, and all the stuff she gave us smelled like cigarettes Yeah. Through and through, and it was awful.

Oh, delicious. So we would just throw that away every single time. Where is that photo? There it is. Yeah.

Okay. Let's see. Oh, yeah. That's pretty ugly. That's pretty ugly.

It's just a vintage sweater. Yeah. That would be a fashion statement now. Do I wear that around now? Dude, that it would be hip for sure.

But, yeah, can you imagine me wearing something like that? Sure. I Demi might as well yeah. Do it. Maybe as a goof.

Yeah. You might as well get some something not is the word flavor is that what I'm looking for? You add some flavor to your wardrobe there, Victor. I got lots of flavor. I mean got at this.

I mean, you you got the, like, the teen reject look going on every single day. That's You know? The guy in the back of the class that you don't know what he's up to. He's just quiet and sitting there. You don't know if he does any homework or anything like that.

He's just in the back of the class sitting there, most likely listening to early motionless and why, early asking Alexandria. That kinda sounds like me in high school sitting in the back, not doing my work, but I wasn't quiet. I would cause problems in class. Right. Yeah.

But, yeah, yeah, I dress the same now as I did in high school. But you gotta change it up a bit. No. No. Yeah.

You gotta shock the lady. You gotta, like, just pull up for, like, a vest or something. Yeah. Throw on it the dress clothes. Oh, I hate wearing this dress.

You in a suit at the classy prom, that threw me off. Yeah. I have one suit, and I haven't put it on since then. I'm I'm guessing that I'm I'm too big for it now. Your inspiration to lose the weight is when you put on clothes from back then or you get those side comments from people.

So that's the difference now is that, when you say when you tell a woman, you're much skinnier back then. You can't do that. Right? Exactly. I just made it, oh.

Yeah. You can't do that. Say that to me and be it'll be totally fine. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, someone could say that to me. I wouldn't care. Be like, I get hurt. I'm like, secretly, my gosh. I gotta run half a marathon, eat eat a breath of fresh air for dinner or something like that.

Yeah. I mean, I've I've given my kids all of my clothes that don't fit me. I'm like, here here you go, girls. You can have these T shirts. Yeah.

You can lose the weight and ask for them back. It'd be like, there we go. Even if I lost tons of weight, I don't think I could ever get into, like, a medium T shirt again. Really? I just don't think that's gonna hap I'd have to be so small.

So small. Yeah. I used to try to squeeze myself into an XL, and that was really bad. And now I'm on, like, a 3 XL. I'm like, okay.

I gotta just because I gotta go back to 2 XL. Most websites don't offer 3 XL. Well, you you said you got on the treadmill for an hour. I did. Gonna do the same thing tonight.

Alright. I'm gonna get on my couch. I'm gonna send a picture of, my my treadmill to the Kayberg group and go, Victor, open challenge every single day. I mean, I can show you. I did set up my TV in front of the treadmill, and I was like for you.

That looks great. Look at that. I've got a TV in front of the treadmill. Fantastic. The glorified iPad kid.

You have to have, you know, something to stimulate yourself. See? There we go. Perfect. It's all set up.

That's literally against the wall. Wait a minute. Yeah. That's facing the corner against the wall. Yeah.

It's the only spot it'll fit. So and then I can fold it up, and I'll still have a bunch of room in the living room. Okay. But, yeah, I I wanted to, like, put it in front of the big TV, but then it's just taking up so much space. So I was like, I need a little TV in the corner.

You got a raw dog. You gotta turn the TV off and just think about certain things while while walking or running. Come on. No. That's so hard.

Get on there and run, Victor. Uh-uh. Let the let the music be your imagery. Oh, jeez. Get out of here.

Victor, I got some would you rather questions here for you. Alright. I love these. Would you rather get snowed in with your weird uncle who only talks politics or with 3 screaming kids who hate you? Oh.

I guess I because I enjoy a political argument. I'd go the weird uncle because I do have a weird uncle who enjoys politics. But are the kids related to you? You can't say I wanna be snowed in with kids. Like, that just sounds a little It's kinda strange.

Little creepy there. And it says they hate you, so I'm guessing they've gotta be somewhat related. Right? But why would they hate you? Like, that's what I would try to figure out the entire time.

Be like, alright. Let's, make amends. Let's, try to figure this the whole issue out here, and, I don't know, maybe, like, fire up a gaming system. I mean, your weird uncle is not gonna be playing video games for the most part. No.

He's gonna be babbling on about politics. Yeah. He's gonna be comparing Red Dead Redemption 2 to, like, the modern age, like how, you know, the Arthur Morgan's woke or something like that. That would be my uncle. You know?

But the keyword in there was screaming children. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They're they're screaming. But they won't listen to you type thing.

Yeah. And they hate you. So I I would sit sit around and listen to somebody babble politics I don't agree with before 3 screaming children. Could you chuck them out the window? I don't think so.

I think you just have to sit there and deal with their screaming. Could I put them in the trash can? I think you could go to jail for that, potentially. Snowed in? Snowed in so they might not find out.

Sounds terrible. Sounds terrible, but I'll go the, political political angle. How about would you rather eat nothing but canned cranberry sauce for a week or drink a gallon of eggnog in one sitting? I'll go with canned cranberries. I love canned cranberries, but the thing is is that it's for a week, and you only eat that.

That it's gonna get old really fast. Mhmm. A a gallon of eggnog, that's really gonna mess up your system in one sitting. Gonna throw it up. I I apparently got some people mad that are lactose intolerant with that question or that that question the hot take that I had in the Khabar group when I said 2% milk is better than any other milk.

Oh, yeah. And someone was like, oh, I can't digest a regular milk. This is you know? And I was thinking That's when you come back with your own hot take that I think almond milk's the best or oat milk or whatever. Yeah.

I mean, I told you. I I I think I commented on there that I like almond milk. Yeah. You're weirdo. I think it's good.

Almond milk's terrible. You know, it's, a Almond milk's great, but almond milk just I don't get it's not flavorful at all. It's just See, and I like the unflavored, unsweetened, plain almond milk. A weird dude who likes the triple IPAs. Yeah.

And those have tons of flavor. That's just like drinking a bitter drink for no reason. You've never tried it, though, so you don't even know how tried the IPNAs. Yeah. And that's not the same.

That's not the same at all. Those have zero flavor compared to a double IPA. The IPNA is horrible. Yeah. I mean, I don't really like any nonalcoholic beer.

The nonalcoholic Blue Moon is good, and the nonalcoholic, Black Butte Porter is really good. But I've I've tried a variety of, nonalcoholic supposed IPAs. You can't have an IPA without the, you know, just brutal alcohol taste. It's gotta taste like somebody poured a shot in it. You know?

I'm typing into chat GPT right now, the most pretentious drinks to order at a bar. And, see, I'm an OG with the IPAs. K? They got really popular. I got into hardcore IPAs when I was, like, 22.

You know? It's not like I was following a trend. IPAs were not popular when I started drinking them. I also had a former friend named Bobby who also ordered the triple IPAs, and he was the most pretentious dude I I have ever met. He he was not he he liked tool in the end.

That's when he started taking up a certain hobby that I can't talk about. Oh, okay. California Habit. California. Yeah.

Yeah. These guys are great, man. They're they're an experience. Type of thing. Like, 6 double IPAs deep.

They used to send us some Snapchats while he was, under the, you know, the whole thing, and so there's some of his selfies are just laughable. Like, you should see his eyes. It's just like the under like The Undertaker, but half knocked out. Alright, Victor. We didn't get to my list here of the most pretentious drinks to order at a bar.

Okay. I can't wait to hear and go, oh, that's my favorite. Oh, number 1, I don't even know how to say this. Negroni Bagliato. It's s b a g l I t o Yeah.

With Prosecco in it. Okay. Ever since that viral TikTok moment, this drink has become the go to for those wanting to feel extra fancy while pronouncing it poorly. Okay. I've never even heard of that.

I mean, I've heard of Negroni, but, Is that some type of wine, or what is that? See, I thought I'm oblivious. I thought it was a beer, but it must be, must be some type of a liquor. Google it up. Let's let's see.

It's a cocktail. Okay. Combines equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth vermouth. Alright. This lighter gin, this lighter variation swaps the gin for Prosecco or another sparkling wine.

Now I'm an idiot. I thought Prosecco was cheese for a second. See, and I thought Negroni was a a brand name, not a, specific type of drink, but, yeah, it is a cocktail. So, yeah, never heard of it. Next time I wanna be a total snooter.

How about the holiday the Christmas party for our for our work? I would like a Negroni, please. The classiest drink you have. Bill, let me order you a Negroni spagliato. What are some of the other pretentious drinks, like martini and stuff?

Martini number 2, but it says martini, but make it complicated. Ordering a bone dry martini stirred, not shaken with a whisper of, is it vermouth or vermouth? Vermouth. I think it's vermouth. Vermouth in a twist of organic lemon screams.

I've read one too many cocktail blogs. This is what Chad GPT said there. Jeez. The mezcal old fashioned for the person who thinks bourbon is too mainstream, but still wants to talk about hints of agave smokiness for 10 minutes. K.

Man, Cacci Petit is on a on a good level here with most of people. I've, tried Mezcal before, but it was some weird brand. We called it Cactus Crusher. I like that. It was one of the most brutal, torturous, horrible drinks I've ever tried.

Any festival promoter in Arizona, please start the Cactus Crusher Festival. Yeah. Come on. I'll host. There we go.

Even though Jose Mangan's from Phoenix. Give him the boot. He's still broadcasting in Southern California. Yeah. That's right.

Get, you know, get him out of there. I'll come down. I'll go ahead and host your show. A lavender infused gin and tonic. That does sound pretty, highfalutin.

Craft beer flight. It's not a drink, but an experience as well. Now this is something I have done. If you don't know what a flight is, they have, like, 4 little glasses. And so you could be like, okay.

Give me Like, give me one of those double IPAs, one of those triples, one of the hazies, and, give me another triple. And then you have your 4 little glasses, and you sniff them and drink it. No. I Do you swig it and spit it out, or do you just No. What is this?

A wine? Wine tasting? And if you spit out your wine at a wine tasting, you suck. That's a waste. If you're going to put booze in your mouth It's one of my family favorite Family Guy moments is when they go a wine tasting, Peter's drinking all the wine.

He has his pants off, and he's walking around. An espresso martini, which our mutual friend, Andy Matter, he's a huge fan of that. He's also a bartender, and he loves making it. So Okay. I guess go to his bar in New York, Pennsylvania.

Yeah. I mean, in mixing caffeine with booze, I mean, I'm sure it's fun. But Four Loko. It's not recommended. Look at all the stories.

Yeah. That's 4 Loko. Though. If you order a 4 Loko at a bar, that's a trashy thing to do. But if you get the espresso martini, that's a that's a high class move.

I know, and it's just 4 Loko. It's the same thing. Absent anything is what, this list also says here. I think I'd agree with that. Absinthe can be kind of fun because you get the little spoon and put the sugar cube on it, pour it over, it gets all cloudy, and you feel like you're doing something.

It says in quotes, do you have absinthe? I wanna channel my inner tortured artist while scaring the bartender. Exactly. Japanese Whiskey neat because asking for something aged in a specific region and barrel is the ultimate flex. Oh, okay.

Alright. Yeah. This all sounds pretty highfalutin. Custom mocktail with exact ingredients. Now the thing is is, like, I I'm not a drinker at all.

I'm not gonna ever order a mocktail, really. It just sounds stupid. Yeah. It sounds like a very expensive soda. Like, when I used to go to restaurants and you would get, like, the the $6 soda with no refill, it's like, what's the point of this?

No. No. Yeah. I'm I'm not on board with that either. I'd just get a Doctor Pepper.

But that's that's what I call going wild in Rexburg, the the custom mocktail of the exact ingredients. That's going hard in Rexburg. I do like asking chat GPT for content. Yeah. It's working out great.

Only because it came up with a category for a peach's hot take. Alright. End the hour with a spicy or sarcastic rant. Oh. Gives an example, why do adults still get advent calendars?

Are we 5? That's what it says. I think if you have an adult advent calendar, you're a tool. Or chocolate's pretty good, though. My dad has one, but it's for just, like, these little I don't know if they're Legos or they're just little pieces that eventually get set up into almost a nativity scene, but it's the cast of, what's that movie with Chevy Chase?

Vacation? Vacation. Yeah. Vacation. Yesterday was its 35th anniversary or something like that.

Yeah. That's crazy. It's that old. Yeah. Yeah.

I haven't seen the movie at all. You haven't seen Christmas Vacation? Need to. For sure. Yeah.

It's a Christmas classic. See, I grew up with Elf. That was Okay. Like, my era. That's good.

But, yeah, Christmas vacations, it's a classic. It's got some very funny moments. Yeah, it it's a must see for Christmas. Alright. It's no home alone, but it's still Oh, did you see, by the way, that if you're older than 1990 Justin posted this this morning on the Hawk page.

If you're older than 19 90, you're now older than Marv in Home Alone. Jeez. I'm much older than Oh, you're not older than Joe Pesci. No. That's true.

That's true. He's, like, in his seventies, eighties now? I'm not sure. I'm not sure. But, what a great movie.

Home Alone. That's that's my hot take is why is Joe Pesci always the tough guy in every movie? You see this dude. He's 81. Mhmm.

5 foot 4. That's like having Russell play a tough guy on TV. He's good at being scary. Is he? Yeah.

He's good at, like You've seen Goodfellas, haven't you? No. I don't care for the Italian stuff. Seen Casino? No.

I don't care for the What? Any of that. It's just frustrating. I don't care for any of, like, the You don't like mob movies? The mob stuff, the Italian mafia stuff.

That's why I didn't really wanna watch The Sopranos. I don't wanna watch some guy talk funny and say gobble ghoul every 5 seconds. Oh, dude. The Sopranos is so good. Last night, I watched a mob movie with, Judith called a Bronx Tale.

And Yeah. I've heard about that one. It was pretty good. I mean, it's it was not Goodfellas or casino good, but it it was decent. Have you seen The Irishman?

That that's another one of those movies where it's like it's 3 hours long. All of the dudes are old Italian guys. I really like that movie. I thought it was really good. I liked it a lot, but I I like mob movies.

So, you know, I was watching the godfather with Nick when we were in Vegas, you know, at the, end of the night. Alright. Let's throw on the TV, kick back, and, we were watching the godfather 2 for a little while. And that's, you know, an old pretty old Bob movie. Isn't it funny how Marlon Brando is not even Italian, and somehow he just got away with that?

I think there's a lot of that movies. Well, like, you see now, it's like, oh, we gotta cast a certain type of individual for this certain role, and you look at all the classics. That right there is a perfect example. Marlon Brando is actually mostly German, Dutch, English, and Irish, not a single part Italian. Well And all he did was squint his eyes and make an Italian face.

You know, he looks close enough that it works. It's not like when they put John Wayne in a movie and had him play didn't he play Genghis Khan? Did no. Wait a minute. I I think it was, Did John Wayne play Genghis Khan?

What? Yeah. I'm pretty sure he did, and look at the pictures. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

It's it's not The conqueror. It's not appropriate in 2024. It's very Just the picture that popped up. I'm sure. The Fu Manchu mustache.

It's The See? So, you know, there's Marlon Brando, and it's like, okay. That's believable and acceptable. Then there's John Wayne as Genghis Khan, and it's not It's poorly rated too. 10% on Rotten Tomatoes, 3.7 out of 10 on IMDb.

Back then, you didn't really pay attention to other other people. You just kinda had the big names in Hollywood, and that's who you chose. I was like, well, you were making a movie. I guess we get John Wayne. There's nobody else.

He was the early rock, wasn't he? The big, burly dude that did this should have done the same thing in every movie. Like, The Rock, you can't really cast him in anything else. Like, you can't tell me that he's gonna be, John McCain in an upcoming movie or something like that. You know?

You never know. Well, Chris Pratt seems to be the chosen guy for most of those roles. True. That's true. He's the go to changed, has it?

No. It's there's some things here and there, like, you know, the the terrible wicked movie that's out there right now. It's like, okay. Why why do they need to be holding hands in every single interview, crying in every interview? She's talented.

The both women are very talented, but it's just like, what is going on with why do we need to remake everything? Yeah. I mean, I haven't seen that movie. I would watch it, but I also heard the movie's, like, an hour longer than the Broadway play Oh. Which is weird.

It's like, why not just stick with it? Make it a reasonable length. You know, if you're gonna do a long movie I I don't know. Maybe it's got a heck of a plot because it's just the wizard of Oz, isn't it? Look at Martin Scorsese's movies.

Yeah. That that guy writes horribly long movies. Yeah. I love them. And The World of Wall Street had a script that was, like, 700 pages originally.

He had to cut it down. Yeah. Yeah. That's a great movie too. That's a that's an excellent movie.

You should really follow his daughter on TikTok. It's pretty funny because she she posts these videos and has him in it, and then he'll try to direct as if it were an actual movie. Oh, to say that. In the background going like, no. No.

We should stage it here, do this here. And it's it's I think it'd be fun to have him, but also annoying at the same time to hear that in the background. Going back to that, would you rather would you rather be stuck in a cabin with with Martin Scorsese or 3 screaming kids? Yeah. I'm gonna go Martin Scorsese even if he tells me everything to do.

It'd be annoying. But possibly. But he might help us out with our TikToks. Oh, sure. Yeah.

I'm director of TikToks. Yeah. The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem powered by Haliscos is a production of Riverbend Media Group. For more information oh, wow. It swallowed my spit wrong while I was still talking.

That's funny. Alright. Okay. Where was I? Oh, for more information or to contact the show, visit riverbendmediagroup.com.
