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, the podcast. Happy pre Friday, Victor. Yay. I'm actually glad that it's Thursday because of that fact alone. I can't believe it's Thursday.
Let's do a hacky radio show. Alright. What do we got for this day in history and celebrity birthdays? I'm not doing that. That's what the, you know, typical radio shows do, Pete.
We're not gonna do horoscopes. We're not doing the weather. We're not doing any of that crap. I was just making a joke. It makes the show so easy.
You just pull up this day in history, and you do it every day at the same time because it's really exciting and people will care. My first world problem when it comes to today in music history is that I have to do that for Cannonball. And I usually do it during the 4PM hour when Emma's checking logs. And she's very adamant about sending me emails reminding me to do it even though I do it every single weekday. Well, Peaches, do it earlier.
Then she won't send me messages. My schedule. I'm not changing my ways for somebody else. I'm a man. Then she's not gonna alter her emailing you schedule either.
But but you know what? There's a block button, and she's getting blocked. Oh, yeah. Sure. Sure.
And I'm just getting the fellow employees. No. I'm glad I'm glad she's reminding me because it helps me out. No. It is good.
I you know me. I need reminders. So, the more reminders I get, the better. Yeah. Kind of been a, uneventful day so far.
I'm just buried in the classy 97 database, and, it takes a lot of coffee to deal with that kind of music. You know? Oh, by the way, on this day in history, 02/06/1952, King George the sixth died. Elizabeth becomes queen. Oh.
And then she was the queen for the next, like, seventy years or something, wasn't she? Yeah. Holy cow. I cannot believe they still have kings and queens there. It's pretty silly.
On this day, on in 1937, '1 of my least favorite books, Of Mice and Men, is published. I've never read the book. Because of so many people saying, oh, Brendan's the big dumb guy. Lenny's the big dumb guy. We'll call him Lenny.
Leonard. Leonard. Leonard. I'm gonna just start yelling that at you from now on. Didn't know it bothered you so bad.
Lady. Lady Peach. That's your, country radio name. Do you know how many times I could or how many names I could call you? Sure.
Dish them up, dude. I'm not going to. It's so it's stupid. I'm trying to go away from the weird, stupid online nickname route that everyone does, you know, not my Linkin Park, you know. Oh, jeez.
Yeah. I think that people have moved on from that. Right? I haven't seen a lot of the only complaining I've been seeing recently was people complaining about no new information about GTA six. I did I did like how I was talking to Joey and Lauren for that new podcast, and they also were talking about the Facebook comments being negative everywhere.
So Were they? Yeah. So I was very happy to see. We're not the only ones. Alright.
I thought it was just my Facebook feed for a bit, but, it's the worst I've ever seen it. It's it's crazy out there. I I don't know why, people can't just settle down. You know? The it's exhausting.
So, you know, it's made it nice because I'm not really looking at Facebook because everything just makes me frustrated. That could be a great segment, zero to negative. Instead of zero to political, we can just do zero to negative and see how many times it how many comments it'll take before it gets negative. One comment every every single time. Okay.
One comment. Let's let's pull up East Idaho News here. Alright. I won't pull up some political article because that's too easy. Yeah.
Pull up something that's, not political, and let's see how long you you read me the headline and I'll guess how long till, negative comments pop up. Couple recovering from severe injuries after motorcycle crash in Pocatello. Okay. I'm sure there will be some kind of negative comments, but it might might take a little bit on that one. And I'm trying to think the angle people would take on being negative.
Wouldn't it be amazing if there weren't negative comment or there are negative comments in there? The first two I see right here. Jeez. How do you have a negative comment about that? Oh, the the first one's just like, hey.
It's Jessica, not Jennifer, trying to get the person's name right. Jess, all my prayers are with you and your guy. Reach out if you need anything. That's a nice comment. Okay.
That that I won't count that one. McKinley, I love how the old man hasn't been released. When you turn a certain age, we all shouldn't be driving anymore. It's true. I mean Clearly, because we won't be able to see or judge distance, and everybody in my life wonders why I'm terrified of bikes praying for recovery.
Is that considered negative? I'd say it's negative because it seems to have agree with it. Well, I think you should have to take a driving test, like, every ten years. I deserve it. You you need to get shocked if you're at a stoplight and you just immediately pull out your phone.
I hate that. Every single stoplight I've been to so far, I've sat there and and I see the person in front of me, looked down at their phone, and I I I rise and turns green. I honk the horn. I know they're not I know they're not paying attention. And I startled them.
One one guy jumped and almost threw his phone in the passenger seat. Yeah. Let's see. What were we talking about right before your comment about the, the phone in the car? I don't remember.
I had something to say, but I guess it didn't matter too much. Oh, I was just saying, for older drivers. At first, I said every ten years. I think you should have to do some type of a quick driving test every five once you hit about, probably 60? 50.
50. I think even 50. You know? People's people's brains start deteriorating like at 40 or something. So, I know that older people don't want the hassle of that, but I think if you are unable to properly drive on the road no matter what age, maybe we do it every five years for everybody of all ages, you know, because I don't think it's just old people that have a problem with driving.
For sure. There's people my age. There's people your age. People younger, older people. Wasn't there somebody just a lot of bad drivers.
Wasn't there somebody that complained about this when Josh and Chantel talked about it? Yeah. I'm sure we're making it right now. I'm thinking if you're offended by this, you're you're the shoe fits wearing. Yeah.
You know what? Theme. You tend to see that a lot. Usually, people that, lose their minds over statements, they, you know, they tend to have a reason, you know, a personal reason that those kind of things can irritate them. Like, I'll go take a driving test today to prove I can still drive properly.
If that was the rules, or if those were the rules, I I wouldn't have a problem with it. And I think we need to do everything we can to keep our roads safer. So And I gotta say, I I've been dealing with with two accidents with young people. I think the teenagers are way worse. Oh, they absolutely.
Absolutely. Because they just don't have the same experience on the roads. They're probably a little bit nervous, and especially when you get your first season of winter. Oh, yeah. You know, the first time you drive in winter weather, it it takes some getting used to.
You know, you gotta totally change your driving habits. So, yeah. I mean, most young people, they are passing those tests, and then they gotta get out and get the life experience on the road. But I don't see any problem with, further testing to, you know, ensure that people have the ability to actually drive properly. We're getting feisty with it on this intro of the new hour of Madness mayhem.
Getting cray. What's next? I attack dog moms again? Oh, boy. Peaches.
No. I'm just kidding. No. You can enjoy your pets. The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem.
I am peaches. I'm Victor Wilt. Our friend down the hall, crazy j Miller, he shared a post about an event going down this weekend, Peaches. And, being our local Californian guy, I thought it might be fun to see you take part in this. Have you ever done a polar plunge?
No. No. Okay. We have we have those in California too, but Do they? I just never participated.
What? You gotta go way up in the mountains or something? Did I pour a bunch of ice cubes in a pool? I don't know. Yeah.
I never participated in one. Okay. So, anyway, this will benefit the Shannon Welker Foundation and the Community Food Basket. It costs $10, and it's open to everyone in the community. Basically, you, show up and jump in some freezing cold water.
Oh, there we go. So I looked it up. There is the Big Bear Polar Plunge where and it's in the mountains and it's Okay. It's, you know, snowy up there. So this is going down at, let's see, Apple Athletic Club this Saturday at 11AM.
It's, again, for a really good cause. Jay Miller says it's good for you, to go in ice. How about you do it? Because the last time I did something for the Shannon Wilker Foundation, it was for the, the dive the what the what's that called? The dunk tank.
The dunk tank. Did you get dunked? Of course. Multiple times. And the water was ice cold.
Why didn't we have any video of that? What's going on? We that would have been great social content. Yeah. Every every time I fell on the tank, my feet hit the ground.
Blusted ankles and things like that. Yeah. And I just stood right back up and got back on it. It was so funny because there was, like, a there was a girl on after me, and you can tell all the all the teenage boys were like, oh, now I gotta dunk her instead of this big giant fat guy before her. Because the line sort of the form as she got on it, she took over the position.
Ah, she was more popular? Is that what you're saying? Yeah. Yeah. For certain reasons.
Alright. Alright. Well, I I don't like cold peaches. So, I don't know if I'd be able to, do a polar plunge. Now when I get into the shower and the water's not hot enough, I'm like, oh, I hate this.
The worst is when I get out of the shower, my apartment's ice cold because the heater's not on. See, I've got a, why can't I think of the word for this? Space heater? Space heater. I was like We're doing great today.
Heater. All my energy has been from the Shane Told interview yesterday, and then I talked with Joey and Lauren for an hour earlier today. You've been doing a lot of talking. Yeah. Every morning when I get up, I walk into the bathroom, turn the space heater on, shut all the doors, then I feed the cats, get myself some instant coffee.
And then by the time I start getting ready for work, it's nice and warm in there because I hate getting ready in a cold room. You know? Only time I like cold room is during summertime, or, you know, when I'm trying to sleep. I can't sleep in a hot room. Is when you just you get these pants, like these jeans, and they just came out of the dryer and they're still a little damp.
And you put them on. It's ice cold. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It wakes you up though when you when you gotta wake up early in the morning.
Woo hoo. You go outside in this weather, pants freeze solid on your legs. Oh, the worst was when it was, like, negative temps. And I would walk outside after the shower and have to put my beard oil in and everything, and it starts to freeze. Yeah.
Frozen beard's not fun, especially if it froze, like, enough and all of a sudden part of it busted off. Oh. You know? Wouldn't that be pretty brutal? Yeah.
Then you'd have to trim it down, you know? No. I have to trim down that beard. It's getting pretty long, Peaches. Mhmm.
You challenging Jade for the beard length? No. I'm not straightening mine or doing anything like that. I'm just keeping it the way that it is. Okay.
I think you should ZZ top it, man. No. That's stupid. Why? That's not my thing.
Come on, Peaches. You could be Santa Claus. No. There's there's plenty of dudes that can pull it off. It's not me.
You don't think so? Nah. I don't know. Yep. You never know until you try.
I can't grow a beard that long. Like, the hair on the sides of my face grows in kinda thin. So if I try to grow a beard out, I look like an idiot. My mom would hate me. That's the thing.
If you grow as easy time to do? Because she already hates the beard as it is. Because I would totally change my look if I could. Dude, you should really, you know, prank your mom and, you know, use some Photoshop and put some, like, tattoos on your face or something. I would give her a heart attack.
I I do not wanna get an angry call from my dad that he has to drive my mom to the hospital. You know? Big this this poor lady. This poor lady. Her son's already a disappointment as it is.
Yeah. You might as well make it as bad as it can get, peaches. That's how you get her to accept everything. You know, tattoo on the head. She won't be worried about anything anymore.
Now, Victor, do you have one of those friends that when you hang out with them, they take over everything and they want to, make sure everyone follows what they wanna do type of thing? My friend, Matt, I found out, oh, from the last trip, is exactly like that. My former friend Bobby was the exact same way. Luckily, I'm not friends with him anymore, but then Matt's slowly morphing into what Bobby used to be. Yeah.
I I don't really think so. I mean, if anything, maybe I could personally be that way sometimes. I but I don't know. We tend to try to reach agreements on what we're gonna do. I I don't hang out with people too often anymore.
So, you know, if I've got a friend in town, usually, it's like, alright. We're gonna hang out at the house, crank up the guitars, turn up the music, and, have some fun. You know? Let's watch a movie. Usually, we reach agreement on that pretty easily.
I don't know. If and my friends, if they wanna do something and it's something I wouldn't wanna do, I just tell them like, nah. You guys go ahead. I'm I'm not gonna go on an eight mile hike with you. You have fun.
I'll sit here at the But see, I wouldn't invite you to something like that. I would know your limits. Yeah. I mean, if it's a nice day, if there's shade, and, it's not too far, I'll hike. But yeah, I I don't know.
There there's certain activities that a lot of people like that, you know, it's just not my thing. So Like, Matt Matt already bought his ticket like I told you. He Yeah. Surprised me this morning by or yes last night by showing off his receipt that he booked the flight from LA to Salt Lake City for no I'm like, dude, why can't you just fly from Santa Ana to Idaho Falls? Is he gonna rent a car there and drive up?
Yeah. I'm I told him, I'm like, dude, I'm not driving Yeah. To and from Salt Lake City twice to drop you guys off, pick you guys up type thing. Yeah. Why why not just fly here?
Because it's supposedly cheaper. And it's like, dude Yeah. It might be a tiny bit cheaper, but the amount that you're gonna spend on gas and the amount of time is It doesn't explain it to me. I understand it. Yeah.
Like, I I cannot imagine, doing that drive for no reason. I think what he's planning on doing, what, you know, keen Matt wants to do is fly to Salt Lake City, then take the Greyhound bus to Pocatello out of all places, and then I have to drive down there and, you know, pick them up and everything. What a mess. Pick him and Matt or pick him, Jose, and Christian up. We have an airport here, and flights from LA to here aren't that bad.
To go down to Santa Ana, fly with Allegiant. That's what I say all the time. Yeah. And then he's like, well, it's too much of a road trip for me. I'm like, who cares?
But he's willing to do three hours on the road to Salt Lake on a bus? Right. Yeah. Dude, and the bus drive, it'll be longer than three hours. Well, he wants to, you know, adventure.
He wants to Well, I guess, right see Salt Lake City and then go he wanted to go to Jackson, but I guess Jackson's more expensive. I'm like, yeah. Because you got the tourists flying in for Yellowstone. Oh, yeah. And, dude, you know, the extra money that you'd spend to fly to Idaho Falls, you're you're right here by Jackson.
You could, you know, fly into town and drive to Jackson in an hour and a half. You know? And the drive to Jackson's a great drive. It's much better than the drive from Salt Lake to Idaho Falls. That's what I did last time.
I picked them up from Jackson Hole, took them out here. We hung out for, like, three days. Luckily, this trip is now five. Nice. But he's, like, trying to plan all this stuff in his head.
Like, oh, we're gonna go to Salmon. We're gonna go to, Swan Valley. I'm like, who's driving all of those all those distant all that distances. Right? I'm not doing it.
Does does he not know how far, Salmon is and things like that? These things take time. That's the thing. He doesn't do his research, I don't think. Or he'll, like, he'll look up things that, like, are cool on social media and then be like, okay.
We gotta do this. I'm like, that's far away. And it it's it's too much. It's a lot of driving, a lot it'll be all all that stuff in five days. It's gonna feel like homework, and it's gonna feel tedious and horrible.
I mean, back when my kids were younger and we'd book vacations, I learned a lesson pretty early on about booking stuff to do every day. It sucks. It ruins a lot of the stuff. It does. You feel like you're a celebrity being dragged around everywhere.
Yeah. You like, we've got this agenda. We gotta stick to it. It's exhausting. Like, doing two days of Disneyland, then Universal Studios, then the you know, go down to Hollywood, then go down to Santa Monica.
It's too much all at once. Yeah. You need a little bit of time, but just just chill. Just chill, see the area, have fun. Yeah.
Like, if you're gonna go to Salmon, make it a a two dayer. You know? Go get an Airbnb, drive to Salmon. But it's more money. I can't spend all this stuff.
You know? Make him spend it. You know? He it's his plan. Well, he was already cheap being a cheapskate with the, the flight to here.
I I only spent $98 on the trip from, you know, Salt LA to Salt Lake City, then he's spending an additional, like, 50 for the bus. Yeah. I I mean, I don't know. People are weird, man. I did tell him, like, July 4, I'm off limits.
I can't do anything. You guys want to, you know, coordinate your own stuff. Just tell him to, yeah, go to the fireworks celebration here. That's what we plan on doing. Yeah.
Well, Matt Wander around all day, eat food. That's what Matt's really excited about is the wild fourth of July. Yeah. Like, well, you can't be full on wild Florida man and, you know, be Peach's friend. You know, I don't want you to go absolutely buck wild and either get arrested.
Get kicked out of Riverfest? That that Wouldn't that suck? That would suck. You know? That would suck.
I would imagine they kick people out every year. I'm hoping that we don't have to we don't have any big shows that get announced during that time either just because I I would I'll deal with the shows more so than dealing with them. Yeah. I would assume the arena and the amphitheater know that, you know, the July 4 is not a good time. Well, when was Rockzilla?
I don't remember. That was, like, July 2, I think. Was it? I don't I don't remember. Because people still complain about that on Facebook.
I saw that. Somebody complained about Rockzilla recently? Oh, yeah. They were talking like, how are these shows going to be just like how Rockzilla was awful or something like that? Completely different promoter.
Again, spewing ignorance. You got whiny dudes and ignorant people all on Facebook. Yeah. Like And they won't dare say it to, like, the person's face or the people that matter. They just do it on Facebook because, you know, they're they're keyboard warriors now.
The the people who ran Rockzilla don't book shows anymore. They were in charge of every single aspect of that. I'm trying to find a date. Happens is completely different now. Rockzilla twenty twenty two Pocatello.
Yeah. Was it 2022? Oh, I'm sorry. It wasn't July 2. It was August 19.
So, yeah, I'm I'm glad that yeah. You know, it's not anywhere close to July 4, so maybe I'm hoping that no venue around here books any big shows. I mean, I'm fine with it because, if if we get a good big rock and metal show, I don't care what day it's on as long as it's not on the actual fourth. But if it's, like, around that time, then I also have to worry about, like, you know, getting them tickets or if they wanna buy tickets and Yeah. I'm doing my own thing.
You know? That's true. I I told them. I'm like, hey. You know, I'm doing my thing.
You know? I'm not no one's stopping me. No one's, you know, altering my path. I'm going where I wanna go. That's the way to do it, man.
Don't let any you know, if they are going to make a bunch of plans, they can't just expect you to be beholden to them. Right. You know? Everybody, has their own interests and their own time and their own money. So yeah.
