Noon Hour Of Madness & Mayhem

On this episode of The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, Viktor debuts fresh tattoo ink while Peaches unveils a new level of commitment to his weight-loss journey by having an AI-generated victory speech read back to him during his walks like he's training for the final scene of a sports movie. The conversation quickly spirals into discussions about healing crystals, burning sage, sardines turning the Z103 studio into a biological hazard zone, and whether East Idaho News employees are secretly living in the bathroom. The guys then tackle the hard-hitting journalism of the day: Jelly Roll's rumored divorce, celebrity breakups nobody asked to be emotionally invested in, Justin Bieber's apparently expanding head size, and a prank involving Nate Eaton, a laser pointer, and what may or may not resemble a hostage situation from the end of a hallway. Later, Peaches recounts an evening spent watching the sunset from a rich-guy neighborhood while having deep conversations, getting excited over deer sightings, listening to devastatingly sad songs, and calling his dad in tears after convincing himself he was living inside Red Dead Redemption 2. Add in country music complaints, Asking Alexandria stories, Conway Twitty life lessons, and two grown men trying to figure out when exactly they became the type of people who sit outside admiring wildlife, and you've got an episode that somehow feels both ridiculous and strangely relatable.

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!

[upbeat music] The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast.

[upbeat music] What's happening, Peaches? Good morning or afternoon, whatever it is. It's lunchtime. It could be morning, could be afternoon, heck, it could be evening, depending on your schedule. What up, dude?

Dude, we get it. You have a tattoo. Why do you, why, why do you have your sleeve up? You never have your sleeve up.

Because I-

You get some n- you get some new ink, all of a sudden you're like, "Look at this."

Well, that's 'cause I'm-

"I got the Donnie Darko bunny on my arm." [sighs]

It smears the Aquaphor on the skin.

Oh, geez.

I, uh ... Well, my shirt's been rubbing up against it and, like, irritating it, and my skin gets all red. Uh, so I had Becca bring me by the stuff I need to be putting on it. Put the stuff on, and I don't want it to rub all over my shirt. So that's why the sleeve is up. Uh, I was going to chop some sleeves off of a shirt and just wear a sleeveless shirt, but I forgot to bring one to chop up today, so ... 'Cause I'm not, uh, tank top guy.

You're gonna, you're gonna do that at work?

Yeah.

I mean, I wasn't gonna take my shirt off-

[laughs]

... sit here bare-chested. I was gonna bring an extra shirt, and then yeah, just swap them real quick. But I might pick one up at lunchtime. I just gotta find one I can chop up that I'm like, "Yeah, it's fine to chop this up."

Just go to Ross.

Yeah, but they might not have a cool shirt. Even if it's sleeveless, I want it to look cool. I don't want, I don't know, just a plain shirt.

No, but they'll, they'll have something with a weird design on it maybe.

The other shirt I chopped up was a, a Mastodon shirt, but it had ... You, you might have seen me wear this shirt-

Why would you do that for? [laughs]

... outside of work.

You just ruined a Mastodon T-shirt. I was gonna make a Brent Hines joke. I stopped myself.

Oh, I'm glad you didn't. Uh, well, this one I don't wear to work 'cause it has, um, naked women on it that are blue. They're ... I don't-

Very nice.

Very nice, but they're blue. So they're like aliens or something, but they're-

It's the opposite of the Blue Man Group.

Yes, it's the Blue Lady, Blue Naked Lady Group. And, uh, it just didn't feel appropriate to wear to work. So I gotta find another shirt that would be the work shirt for sleeveless, and then I need to get swole to show off these guns.

Hey, come join me.

Yeah?

I reached a whole other level of insanity.

What'd you do?

I, uh [laughs] I had ChatGPT generate my official weight loss caption that I reached my goal, and I had it do text to speech over and over as I was walking.

Okay.

So that way I could, I could, uh, sort of speak it-

You can do it

... speak it into, into fruition, you know?

Ooh.

I'm hoping to reach 350 by the end of the month.

What, are you gonna buy that book The Secret next?

What's that?

Oh, that, that was a thing back in the day. Um-

Was that a thing to win over ladies?

Well-

Was it that book?

Well, it could, it could let you win over, like, anything. It was this book that came out and, uh, it was about the law of attraction.

Oh, no.

And basically if you, you know, think positive thoughts, good things will happen to you. [laughs] I mean, it's

a bunch of hokum, as they say. Um- [laughs]

[laughs] The way you bounced in the air when you said that is prob- funniest part. [laughs]

Yeah, all you gotta do is sit around and wish, Peaches. Just sit there and dream.

I wish. [laughs]

I wish I'd lose all this weight, while you're just mowing down cheeseburgers. I wish.

Injecting myself with GLP-1s at the same time like I'm committing seppuku.

Well, that's an actual, uh, you know,

medicine, Peaches. It's ... You know, that's science. We're talking about wishing, dude. [laughs] You gotta ki- ... You can't add in actual science. You just have to sit around and wish.

I, I surrounded myself with healing stones.

Yeah, do something like that.

And I got myself a weird-looking candle.

Sure, sure. But you can't use the meds. It's gotta be all-natural, Peaches. So yeah, so burning candles I think is fine.

Burning sage?

Burning sage.

How about that?

Sure. That brings or that casts out, uh, you know, dark spirits or, uh, bad things.

I'm not going that far.

Yeah, don't be walking around in here burning sage. Probably set off the fire alarm. I don't know if we got sprinklers in here, but I don't wanna monkey with that.

You want sage and sardines? Go to the Z103 studio.

Ugh, ugh.

I was, uh, eating some hard-boiled eggs this morning. I walked back in there, I'm like, "Oh, yeah, they're, they're evident in there now."

[laughs] Oh, God.

Oh, yeah. And then Jade walked in to help me with a certain thing, and I could tell there was a, a disturbance on his face. Like, "Oh-

Well, good

... what's that, what's that stench?"

Usually it's him spreading the rotten egg smell that comes out of his butt.

[laughs]

Stinky farts. All right, so-

Did he wipes? [laughs]

"Why does it reek of smoked fish in here? Oh, Peaches was here burning sage, mowing down sardines."

[laughs]

Fantastic. [upbeat music] All right, Peaches, this may not be a surprise, but I'm getting really annoyed by the news today.

No way.

Yeah. Um-

I'm getting really annoyed by the news people taking up our bathroom.

Yeah, how long does it take to repair a bathroom? What's it been now, two, three weeks?

I don't know. There was some East Idaho News person in there, uh, this morning, and Josh and I were in the break room just going, "Oh, look at me, I'm taking my third bathroom trip of the day and it's not even 9:00 AM."

[laughs]

"I, I'm Fiber Maxine." And, and they s- like, we're saying that right outside the-

[laughs]

... the bathroom, where I'm sure that person, whoever was inside, could hear us.

Yeah, you can hear it. You can hear people talking outside the door. [laughs] So ...

And I'm not quiet when it comes to that kind of thing.

No, you're, you're loud. So, uh, whose feelings at East Idaho News did you hurt?

We'll see if there's an anti-Peaches article popping up. [laughs]

Well, um, I am gonna throw East Idaho News under the bus-

Uh-oh

... for this one 'cause they're one of the many that ... Like every single news source out there ... Let me verify that East Idaho News and not just Nate Eaton's personal page posted about this, but to me it is ... You, you'll see people comment, "Yeah, what does this have to do with East Idaho?" on East Idaho News, which they, they don't have to just stick to East Idaho when they do news. But

why is this news at all? That's a reasonable question to ask regarding this story of any, any news source. Yes, East Idaho News themselves did share it as well. Peaches, did you hear that Jelly Roll's getting divorced?

I, I did.

Oh my God, it's the biggest breaking news I've ever heard in my life.

The dude loses 200 pounds. All of a sudden he goes, "Hey, I'm too hot for my wife," and then says, "Hey, g- get lost and eat dirt."

Yeah, and she was already way too hot for him.

Oh, yeah.

You know? So anyway, yeah, it sounds like ... 'Cause I actually did, uh, read some of the comments on one of the articles. Didn't read the article 'cause I don't care, but, uh, yeah, it sounds like he just had another baby born from another woman.

Ooh.

Naughty, naughty.

Jelly Roll.

So dudes, you know, if you're gonna cheat on your wife, which it would appear was going on, you know, if they're not divorced yet, but a baby was just born from another woman, um-

Wasn't she a certain kind of star before?

She was. I, I did read that about her, but she had, uh, quit.

I mean, y-

I mean, Jelly Roll's made a lot of money in the last few years

... I was gonna say, he started out as a fat guy in prison-

Uh-huh

... and now all of a sudden he's a skinny dude with a whole bunch of money.

Keep that in mind, ladies. If you know a fat guy with talent-

[laughs]

[laughs] Hook up with him and then get, just dump him and divorce him later on and take half of his money.

I wanted to tell you about this, uh-

[laughs]

... this prank that our, uh, that somebody here in the building came up with, and I thought it was the funniest thing ever. Uh, wait till East Idaho News posts like some sort of controversial article.

Mm-hmm.

And then, uh, go to the end of the hallway, 'cause now you can see Nate Eaton's office. He looks like the banker from Deal or No Deal.

Yeah.

You just see the silhouette of him through the window. [laughs] And this person, I'm not gonna name their name on the air, was like, "Hey, I'm gonna stay at the end of the hallway with a laser pointer-

[laughs]

[laughs] ... and point it into the office." So Nate's all freaking out, "I've gotta get, I've gotta get down."

Oh, jeez.

[laughs]

Oh, that's, that's a pretty messed up prank.

[laughs]

I have a laser pointer at home too.

[laughs]

It's for my cats, but probably work for Nate Eaton too. [laughs]

Just have him freak out. He's taking cover under the desk.

I wonder if that laser pointer would go all the way down the hallway.

I'm sure it would.

It's a long hallway. [laughs]

Yeah.

And-

You've seen those, uh, crazy powerful laser pointers that if you, like y- you can point them to the sky, but you have to wait till the helicopters go by or the planes go by 'cause you don't want to blind the pilot or whatever.

I al- I always like pointing them at the planes and helicopters-

[laughs] Whee

... Peaches. It's fun. [laughs] You're like, "Look at there."

You can't make that joke after Oliver Tree died in a helicopter crash.

Oh, yeah, I guess that's right. Uh, RIP to Oliver Tree. But yeah, I don't know how many times I've seen this stupid picture of Jelly Roll and his, uh, soon-to-be ex-wife. Every news organization around the country seems to be talking about this.

I'll, I'll, I'll be talking about it on The Daily Squeeze-

[laughs]

... with Brendan Peach on Z103.

Yeah, on a stupid radio feature, sure, but this is ... Can you imagine if you got divorced and it was news?

Dude, okay, somebody posted on, uh, r/justinbieber, um, asking, "Did Justin Bieber's head get bigger?"

[laughs]

And there was a side-by-side picture. And if somebody ever analyzed me that way, I, I just, I wouldn't even, I wouldn't even p- appear outside.

That is just as important as a news story as Jelly Roll is getting divorced. Nobody cares.

Oh.

Um, it's, again, his own private business anyway, but just what a waste of time. Are we gonna start making a big news deal out of every celebrity getting divorced? Are there other celebrities that are, that are splitting up? Let's see. I'm sure if we search divorced and go to, uh, Google News it's all gonna be Jelly Roll.

Well, yesterday for The Daily Squeeze it was all death. One of the executive producers of Love Island died. Uh, Oliver Tree died. That YouTuber died.

Yeah. Let's see.

James Corden got arrested.

Uh, the only other divorce news I'm seeing relating to celebrities is J.Lo makes a shocking confession about divorcing Ben Affleck.

Well, J.Lo's also been through like four different husbands. At some point she needs to realize she's the problem.

Yeah, I watched a pretty terrible rom-com with Becca over the weekend with J.Lo in it.

I heard you talk about that.

Eh. I don't know why she likes those movies, but you know what it, what it's like. You, you gotta ... You can't just pick everything.

What's that J.Lo movie where she goes, "It's turkey time, gobble gobble"?

[laughs] I don't know, Peaches.

[laughs]

And I will say-

It's Ben Affleck in the movie

... J.Lo is not a, a good actor. [laughs]

Or musician or-

Well, she's worse as a musician.

[laughs]

I mean, I'm sure she's a nice enough person.

No, I don't think so.

No? She-

I heard she's one of the meanest people.

Let's find out. So Jennifer Lopez, uh, rude celebrity.

She was married to, uh, Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees for a little while there too-

Let's see

... before going back to Ben Affleck.

Yeah, she has frequently faced online backlash and rumors labeling her as a rude celebrity.

Absolutely.

Okay. These, uh, claims stem from viral red carpet interactions, so I guess there's video, and then unverified reports from service workers. I would imagine if you are rude to the people on the red carpet, you're probably horrible to people in restaurants, [laughs] anybody in the service industry. Yeah, I guess there was a video showing her barely making eye contact and ignoring verbal greetings from somebody as she prepared to pose. Um, hmm, who cares, but

... What were we talking about at the beginning of this break? [laughs] I don't even remember.

How East Idaho News posted an article-

Oh, yeah

... about Jelly Roll and Bunnie splitting up.

Yeah.

Bunnie XO, I mean.

Bunnie XO. Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO, aw.

You know what that means though, right?

Splitting up. [fake cries]

Jelly Roll's all of a sudden gonna drop an album that's just full of I'm sorry Bunnie songs or i-

Or they'll be angry.

Oh, dude, what if he releases-

They'll be angry

... like a crazy metal album out of nowhere?

Ugh. Let the country world have him at this point. [laughs] All right? All these guys who move over to country, just stay. You know? Aaron Lewis.

Royal Bliss.

Just ... Eh.

[laughs]

I like, I like Royal Bliss.

I just wanted to bring that up again.

I mean, they should have never gone country.

Oh.

But [laughs]

but they're good b- good enough fellas.

I mean, Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria, he does pretty well with the, the blues and the, the country feel.

Well, and he doesn't seem to have any passion for Asking Alexandria anymore, so stick with country.

I think he's depressed.

I, I mean-

We might need to do a wellness check on him. I made him laugh the last time, uh, he was in Idaho Falls

Did ... Oh yeah, they did play here.

Yeah, not that long ago.

I forgot about that. Huh.

He made a height joke to me, and I told him the Wilt Chamberlain story, and he was dying laughing.

Yeah. And they were pretty good at that show too.

Yeah.

I don't know why that didn't stand out to me. It's probably 'cause Ben wasn't here. Ben from, uh, Asking Alexandria.

Ben Bruce?

Yeah, Ben Bruce is a great dude. Interviewed him numerous times, hung out with him. He's fun. He's fun, but I guess he's just sitting back, collecting that Asking Alexandria money and being a dad.

I would.

Yeah. Well, at least he's not taking the jelly roll route. [laughs] You know?

Well, not yet.

[laughs] Oh.

Who knows?

Not yet. [trumpet music] This is the noon hour of madness and mayhem. Peaches was talking to me off-air about watching the sunset. [laughs]

Well, what, what is it, what is it about, like, the older you get, the more you just wanna stare out the window-

[laughs] I don't know, dude

... and, and just watch, watch what ... Uh, whatever's out there. I mean, the sun could be setting. Uh, me and Brian were sitting on the, on his patio just watching the sunset. I told, I told-

Holding hands.

I, I told him, I'm like, "I need an acoustic guitar."

[laughs]

"And I, I, I need, like, a John Fogerty song or something."

[laughs]

"I need to sing something."

Yeah, I, I know as I've gotten older, like, simply taking a drive out, [laughs] you know, in the woods, it's great. Like, driving around Yellowstone just looking around, listening to music.

We were having a deep life conversation.

Great.

I'm not even kidding. [laughs]

[laughs]

We were talking about, like, uh, uh, relationships and scenarios and all of that. And then I'm in the middle of this sentence, and he goes, "[gasps] A deer." And a deer comes flying out of the house, out of the house across the way-

Whoa

... and goes across the field. He's like, "I, I, I didn't think I'd see one out here yet." I'm like, "We're recording it." [laughs]

[laughs]

Like, like two old guys [laughs] getting excited over an animal just running across.

Yeah, yeah.

And then so what's even worse is it, it felt like the ending to Red Dead Redemption 2, only I wasn't dying, that I know of.

Spoiler. [laughs]

Uh ... [laughs] So I'm driving. Like, I'm leaving Brian's place. It's about 9:30 PM. I did the walk up the mountain and everything. And [laughs] I was coughing like I had tuberculosis.

[coughs] [laughs]

And so [laughs] I-

Why is Arthur coughing?

[laughs]

[laughs]

I love on Reddit when somebody who's playing the game for the first time like, "It's really weird. I was just,

you know, cruising on my horse through Saint Denis, and all of a sudden Arthur fell off and is sick. What, what does this mean? Is there something I can give him?" [laughs]

[laughs] So I'm driving down the hill 'cause Brian lives up there with all the rich people, and the sun's setting. And I fe- like I said, I felt, it felt like Red Dead Redemption 2. And I'm like, "You know what? You know what this moment needs? Sad music."

[laughs]

So I was listening to Someone Somewhere, the acoustic version from Asking Alexandria.

Oh my goodness.

But then it switched to one of your favorite songs, the one that Jade played for you when your dad died.

Oh, the, the-

Nothing More Fade In, Fade Out, but it was the acoustic version.

Oh, geez, even worse.

And it wa- it was the acoustic, like, uh, something version. And he's just going, "My dad lost his grip, but I gained mine."

Oh, man.

And like Johnny Hawkins and that pretty voice of his.

Mm-hmm.

And I, I called my dad in tears.

[laughs]

I was just like, "Dad,

I just listened to this sad song. [laughs] You wanna listen to another sad dad song?"

Sure.

Listen to Conway Twitty That's My Job.

Conway Twitty That's My Job.

Yeah. Pull that up.

Let's see here. Let me move this window.

Come on. Let's find it.

I'm pretty sure we've got it in the system.

Where are my headphones?

All right, hang on. Conway.

I'll use these pieces of junk over here.

Conway Twitty. We have a lot of, uh, Conway Twitty in the system here. Let's, uh, let's give this one a listen.

Oh, it's in the library?

Mm-hmm.

Wow.

Must be, uh, one of five legends.

Peaches' Pick of the Day coming your way, 2:00 PM. Here it is.

All right. I'm gonna pull up the lyrics so I can look at them here. Conway Twitty.

Think about your dad, Victor.

He probably liked this song. I woke up crying late at night.

"When I was very young." [laughs] Starts singing along.

Yeah, I dreamed my father had passed away and gone. I had dreamed my father. Oh, this song's too slow, Peaches. It's like five minutes long too. I'm like-

He's telling the story of his dad. Come on, continue it.

Here, I'll, I'll just read it. [laughs] It's much quicker.

Come on.

So my world revolved around him. I couldn't lie there anymore, so I made my way down the mirrored hall and tapped upon his door. And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid. How will I go on when you've gone that way? Don't wanna cry anymore, so may I stay with you?" And he said, "That's my job. That's what I do. Everything I do is because of you. To keep you safe with me, that's my job, you see." Uh, does the dad die in the song?

Well, he talks about his dad dying and saying, like, "It's, that, that's my job to take over as-"

Yeah

... you know? But li- it's like the, the song y- your, one of your favorite songs, Monsters from, uh, James Blunt.

Ah.

Talks about the monsters under his bed-

I hate James Blunt

... and how he's now the one to, like ... [laughs]

James Blunt is the worst.

I, I just remember that, uh, performance, uh, recording from ... Oh, was it America's Got ... No, American Idol, where the Ian Tongi was performing. He, the Ian Tongi guy was performing Monsters, and James Blunt comes out [laughs] and s-

Ah, geez. I know it, it went viral

... and starts making those weird facial expressions. "Daddy." [laughs]

[laughs] Yeah, uh, thi- this song's not as sad as, um, as the, uh, Nothing More song, but th- this is a guy who's, uh, hoping he can be as good as his dad someday. Yeah, Conway Twitty, hoping to be good.

Well, I like Nothing More. Nothing More puts out these, uh, very meaningful songs. I like it.

Yeah, yeah. Well, uh,

how did we start this break?

We're talking about being sad or talking about the, uh, the, the, the-

Oh, me, you up in the mountains

... me up in the mountains.

Okay, sad songs.

Yeah, with Bra-

Yeah

... with Brian, you know.

That's right. Why, why didn't you listen to a, a happy song while you watched the sun set, Peaches?

It's a weird thing that people do. They listen to sad songs when they're sad, and it makes it even worse.

You can listen to, "Here comes the sun," and then cry 'cause it's not coming. It's going away.

Well, I, I, I think I was listening to Afraid of the Dark from Motionless In White. Have you looked at the lyrics for that song?

As a ... Yeah.

It's, it's definitely-

It's, it's, it's emo

... it powers you through.

[laughs] It's definitely emo, for sure. Yeah, um, you said new Motionless In White when?

Uh, tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

With Skyler Gray.

All right. Well, looking forward to checking that out. Uh, did you hear the band me and Jade played earlier called Battlesnake?

Uh, yeah, it was on the All New Metal Spotify playlist.

Was it?

Yeah, yeah.

Okay. I, Jade, it just popped up in his YouTube feed.

[laughs]

It's a pretty fun video and song I, I, I like Battlesnake. Their songs are silly.

All right.

I listened to another one called, uh, I Am the Vomit, and it, it was, it was all right.

Cool.

I, I like I Killed Satan better. It [laughs] it just had better riffage. But, ah, it's, it's in the system if you need it, Peaches.

I'm telling you, if I- as soon as I learn metal vocals, we gotta go weird. We gotta do a weird album together.

I did. I, uh, if I record any music ever again, I'll be happy, so sure. It, it's a deal.

[upbeat music] Here's the headline, Peaches, from CNN.

"How can Jelly Roll be getting divorced?"

[laughs]

[laughs]

How?

[laughs]

Well, I'm guessing with the amount of money he has, hired a lawyer. That's part of how. [laughs]

Well, what- [laughs] what, what Top 40 radio stations are out there going, "Uh, have you ever cheated on your wife and had a kid with another lady?"

[laughs]

"Let us know. Call into the show." [laughs]

[laughs] Will you do that on afternoon shift?

Absolutely.

[laughs] Oh, that'd be, that'd be funny, dude.

And back in the... You get some old, like, uh, Jeff Roper kind of DJ, "Back in 1989, I was tempted."

[laughs]

[laughs] "Me and Teresa had it going on."

Dude, th- this article, I just started scanning it, and it's, it's so cringey. First sentence, "Jelly Roll has filed for divorce from the woman we all thought was his soulmate."

Oh, geez.

[laughs]

Love isn't real.

[laughs]

My favorite celebrity couple split up. You know, uh, celebrities treat marriage like it's, uh, uh ... What, what, what am, what am I looking for here? They treat it lightly o- overall.

Yeah.

Celebrities will swap, swap significant others all the time. [laughs]

Dude, no kidding. It's amazing how many times they'll ... That, that's when you've got too much money.

And it's okay for-

If you will get married and get divorced, and you just blink. It's like, "Oh, there we go."

It's totally fine for, like, some 60-year-old to date a 30-year-old.

A, in the world of, uh-

Right

... you know, this, uh, apparently.

Yeah.

Well, I don't know. I think once you reach 30, you're old. I think at that point-

Thanks

... sure.

I got two months.

Go ahead and date a 60-year-old when you're 30.

No, thank you.

[laughs] Hey, Peaches, you might find yourself a nice sugar mama.

Hey, [laughs] m- uh, I met this wonderful lady. She graduated the same class as you, Mom and Dad.

Here, I'm gonna tell you something off-air.

[laughs] Jeez.

All right? So-

[laughs]

[laughs] Wow.

Did I say that too loud to where it was heard in the hallway?

That, that probably got recorded on the podcast-

[laughs]

... so I'll keep it in there.

Uh, well, I turned the mics off, so hopefully it didn't. [laughs]

[laughs]

This article, man.

Wow.

"Theirs has been the type of love story country songs are written about. She's inspired multiple tunes the country artist has released as recently as 2024's Kill A Man and 2026's Thorns."

"I only talk to God when I need a favor."

[laughs] "It was a match made in unconventional heaven. He had a lengthy criminal record starting at the age of 14 and-

And she was in particular films. Here are some of the titles.

That's what they did mention.

But it, one of the titles is what you just told me off the air. [laughs]

Why is that an unconventional relationship? Uh, it's two people who-

It's a felon and a ... [laughs]

Well, according to this, she did more than make movies. Um, so-

Oh, oh, yeah

... unless she lived in Nevada, um, I'm guessing it could've been illegal. But she might've lived in Nevada somewhere where-

Didn't Applegreen sing a song like that?

Maybe.

"He was a felon."

[laughs]

"She was a ..."

[laughs]

[laughs] And this article just goes on and on about, "Oh,

you know, the two stayed in touch when, after first meeting, when she was with someone else, and then they were deeply in love." Do, do, do.

Have you ever tried sitting down and watching a Jelly Roll award acceptance speech?

No,

I have not, but I'm guessing we've got, uh-

Thank the Lord. I can't believe I've got this.

Yeah. I was guessing some religion in there. Maybe his mom. Did he thank his mom?

Uh, I don't know.

I don't know about that.

I, I, I just heard that it's, it's-

You know, and-

... it's lengthy, and it's annoying
