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. It's the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. I am Peaches. I'm Victor Wills. What's up?
The first thing I see, Jade tells me to follow this Facebook group called Post Hardcore Posting to sort of help with programming alt one zero one. Oh. Tons of people posting there. Post hardcore posting. Yes.
Okay. Jade's idea of what alt is is a little bit different than the average person, but alright. So what do you got? Well, this person, of course, on Facebook complaining about My Chemical Romance, Welcome to the Black Parade, being played on pop two k on SiriusXM. I hate to break it to everybody, but, Welcome to the Black Parade's probably gonna start getting played as time goes on on stations like Classy.
It is. It sounds like a Christmas song too, so it would be perfect year round on Classy. I'm trying to see when it came out. Dude, it's it's old, man. 02/2006, almost 20 years old.
It could qualify as classic rock. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's old, and all the people that grew up on that song are old. If you're over 40, you're old.
We already we already had comments about, you know, being old in the K Bar Group. Luckily, Jennifer was just teasing with us. I know. I'm 40. And like Stewart said, I feel a lot older than I did about ten years ago.
The beard shows it too. There's, there's a lot of white in the beard. So I'm looking at Leanne's comment though on this on this specific post about pop two k. Isn't just pop. She was listening to Creed on there earlier today.
It's just hit songs from that decade. Guess where you might hear Creed. Classy '97. That's right. Aren't they like a Christian rock band for the most part?
Well, I think they started off that way, but, you know, as time goes on I mean, Green Day is on Classy. Dude, I couldn't imagine going going full in, all in on a Christian rock band and thinking you're gonna be successful. Like, majorly successful. What? There's tons of them that are huge.
Not really. They make a lot of money to do. Dude. Dude. That that's a pretty big thing.
They just don't tend to get, much radio play. I mean, Skillet, they're still playing arenas. But they're not really Christian rock anymore. Oh, yeah. Dude.
Like, John Cooper's like, don't cancel me. I'm cool to be uncool. Yeah. But see, he's thinking He's turning into Ronnie Radke. No.
He's thinking he's getting canceled because of his, beliefs. That's what he said in a a few interviews, which that's why I disagree with him. I'm like, dude, nobody's canceling Skillet. You know, Skillet's as family friendly as it gets. Yeah.
If there if there's dude, they're definitely still a strong Christian rock band for sure. I I don't know, what other, like, bigger tier bands there are in that genre, but I mean The biggest Christian rock bands. Yeah. I don't know who it is. It up.
But I I know that there have got to be some that are doing very well. The biggest Christian rock bands of all time, Skillet, Thousand Foot Crutch, k. Reliant k. You also have Striper. Yeah.
Striper. POD. POD. They just came back. Back on the scene.
Put out some killer new songs last year. Switchfoot as well. Mhmm. Flyleaf. Flyleaf.
Red. Red hasn't done anything for a while. Wasn't it one of those guys? A lot of these bands are just they're they're they went away from their original sound. Well Like Skillet does not sound like the I'm awake.
I'm alive. Yeah. But they're still saying that you know, putting out the same messaging. You know? I mean, there are straight up, like, hard, heavy I've played shows with Christian, like, grindcore bands, Peaches, where they're like, and then they do a prayer in in between the songs.
I'm not lying. I I know, but I'm I'm trying to compare the lyrics now of awake and alive. I'm at war with the world and they try to put me into the dark. I struggle to find my faith as I'm slipping from your arms. Okay?
K. Let's go to unpopular from Split. That's the dick no more. Am I the only one who ain't come undone? Everybody's lost their dame minds.
When you check your feed, it's like clown TV, and you're waiting for the punchline. Yeah. I know he's he's angry right now, but I guarantee on the album, there are typical, lyrical themes that you would expect from Skillet. No no no no doubt about it, man. Thousand Foot Crutch, I don't think has done anything in recent years.
It's working. Put anything out in a couple years. We've, you know, played a bunch of those guys over the years. Really nice dudes as well. Under Oath, is a band that was a Christian rock band.
And they went away from it? Yeah. But they I see Anne Berlin as well. They went away from that. They brought in Maddie Mullins as their lead singer now.
Yeah. But, dude, honestly, you have a better chance of making money in that genre than just being a regular rock band. Well, you you make it harder upon yourself to go in as, like, a grindcore band and think you're gonna be successful Yeah. Or be like any one of those extreme metal bands that like like Cattle Decapitation, they're huge in their own their own way, but you bring them to the mainstream Yeah. Hardly anyone's gonna wanna hear them.
Yeah. No. But if you put out, music that sounds like, you know, Skillet or Creed, just mainstream rock music. If you were to, you know, approach it toward a niche audience, yeah. It's it's gonna work out better for you than just trying to, blow up alongside all all the other bands that are fighting for attention.
You just reminded me of a funny video I need to show you Okay. About this guy thinking he's too spicy for country radio. Okay. And I would love this. Completely forgot about it until you said something, and it triggered in my head.
Okay. Perfect. Let's do that on the next break. Alright, Victor. I couldn't find the video.
And, it's okay. It's alright. It's this guy who looks who's trying his hardest to look like a cowboy, a poser, if you will. And he's like, this song's too spicy for country radio and he starts singing about some girl or whatever. Uh-huh.
Sounds like every other country track. Yeah. And it's definitely more pop oriented. Okay. A lot of authentic country fans would would hate it.
Well, you know, the majority of the most popular country music is, pop music. You know, you listen to Morgan Wallen, that's straight up pop music. Every single time I think of Morgan Wallen, I I I see you doing that weird shoulder dance like you were in that video on her Instagram. I just wanna love somebody. That whole song sucks.
It's not a very good song. But, you know, speaking of fake cowboys, I mean, I'm not gonna throw any particular country artists under the bus. There are a lot of fake cowboys. Rep Jopper. I mean, he doesn't walk around in a cowboy hat, does he?
But he puts on the fake accent. He talks like a fake southerner, but I don't know if he claims to be out, you know, doing cowboy stuff. That would be funny Yeah. To see him try to do something like that Maybe he could. With Katie or something.
I mean, if you tried to see me get out and do cowboy stuff, it ain't it ain't gonna look good. I mean, clearly, you guys wanted to exploit me to, you know, start doing cowboy stuff with Katie just to just for content. California cowboy. You know, that bit'll happen one of these days. We'll get you out, rustling cattle, put you on a horse, and you can just try to Poor horse.
We're not doing that. Peaches, there are big horses that can handle you. I weigh three hundred and twenty pounds. The the the horse is gonna be like, get this guy off of me. Okay.
We'll get a mule then. That's even worse. Mules are strong, man. Mules, you know, that's a mix between isn't it a mix between a donkey and a horse? Yeah.
And for some reason, I mean, they can pack a lot of weight. I'm not gonna hurt some mule. You're not gonna hurt it, dude. I'm gonna hurt it. No.
Okay. Look up, weight limit to ride a horse. I'm I'm just curious because it's gonna depend on the kind of horse. I bet you could ride a Clydesdale. There's a great clip of Shaq on the back of a horse, and Charles Barkley goes, man, that poor horse back, it's it's gonna break.
A common rule of thumb is that a rider should weigh no more than 20% of the horse's weight. Alright. How much do Clydesdales weigh? Can a horse Between 1,522 pounds. Okay.
It says, okay. As a general rule Adult Clydesdale horses weigh that much. Dude, Clydesdales are huge. I know they're big, but I didn't realize they weighed a ton, like a literal ton. Yeah, dude.
They're massive. According to this, as a general rule, anything over 300 to 350 pounds is too heavy for a horse. See? Now how much should you say? Three twenty.
Three 20. You you know, you're not over three fifty. I'm pushing the limit. Alright. Alright.
Well I'm not gonna hurt some horse. How about let's let's see how much a mule can can carry. Are mules are mules stronger than Clydesdales is what you're saying? Yeah. I'm curious.
Weight capacity. Yeah. Mules, weight capacity. Around a 98 pounds. Ah, okay.
Can carry a mule can carry typically 20% of its body weight in dead weight or about a 98 pounds. Okay. So I I thought mules were stronger than horses. However, some mules can carry up to 353 pounds of live weight. 353.
Very precise. Yeah. Not three fifty five, three 50 four. That's when it collapses underneath you. If you get to three fifty four, you you kill the mule.
That's our secret sound for the next time we do something like that. Peaches kills a mule by, you know, over and encumbering it or whatever the word is for it. Well, you know, I think I saw maybe it was a YouTube video or something where, you know, there was some big guy who really wanted to ride a horse, so he figured out some kind of system where there was, like, ropes and stuff that kinda helped take the weight off. Some kind of a system where we have a lighter on a horse. I I look like one of those puppets, and you have my arms in the air.
I'm marionette peaches. I'm marionette peaches on top of a horse. Yes. Because everybody should ride a horse. I don't wanna ride horses that badly.
It's kinda fun. I maybe it's I think it's something in my blood because I got all those cowboys on, my dad's side of the family. They're all cowboys. And Yeah. My whole family's from, like, mostly Pittsburgh.
Okay. And then we went down to Southern California, and that's it. There's no horses in Pittsburgh, I don't think, for the most part. So I know that when I'm on a horse, it feels kinda natural, but I know I could never take care of a horse or do all the other stuff. But when I'm riding on it, it's like, man, for some reason, this feels right to be riding a horse.
I've I don't know man. Give me the lasso. I'm ready. I know. I'm riding me a cowboy.
Give me a cowboy hat. I I had a cowboy hat. I don't know what happened to it, but, I I used to wear it for fun. I could never pull one of those off. It'd be so stupid looking.
Oh, well, I was wearing there's a photo of me somewhere wearing tie dyed Pink Floyd shirt. It's all blue and rainbow colored. I got the big stupid female glasses on, cowboy hat down in Arizona riding a horse. Yeehaw. Yeah.
I'm a Idaho cowboy. Victor, I have a side hustle for you. I hope you're ready for this. Did I Start. I need to let you.
Streaming. K. You gotta tell me exactly how this works because I don't think people would enjoy watching me sleep. It would be pretty funny to see some 40 year old man with his CPAP on. Yeah.
You you put a speaker behind you. You sacrifice, like, what, a Saturday night Mhmm. To just say, hey. If you donate this amount of money, you could trigger any sound that you want. Okay.
And then you just don't sleep for, like, that whole night. You can spend the whole day Sunday sleeping in and you make tons of money. This lady who has a, adult only, site as well, she has, like, little account on the, you know, the, the OF, you know, that type of thing. But she also does sleep streams and apparently she does she makes $10,000 every time she does a sleep stream. Okay.
That's because people donate money to, you know, startle her and stuff. So you have a bunch of creeps watching a woman sleep. Exactly. You know? You might as well make money while you're creep while you're, being creeped up.
Are there any creeps that would wanna watch me sleep? There's a there's a there's a there's a guy that I've seen before. There's plenty of people who I've seen do sleep streams. Plenty of people. Kai Sanette just did one recently.
I mean, it's an easy way to rack up streaming hours because you just turn it on and go to bed. Yeah. People can fall asleep with you. Dude, I'm a really heavy sleeper. Like, if it's Well, see, this is perfect for you.
Yeah. You you'd have to try pretty hard to wake me up. You know, the alarm clock sometimes doesn't do it, which is why I have multiple alarms set. And I bet if I set them in the middle of the night, it'd be pretty tough. I'd have to set multi tiered types of sounds, to attempt to, see if they could actually wake me up.
I'd have, you know, a normal one and then just like an air horn. And then the ultimate dono is to have me walk into your house with a water gun and just right on you. Oh, see. Now that gives me the creeps. Yeah.
I don't want anybody walking around while I'm sleeping. I don't know what you're up to. Creeping while I'm sleeping. Isn't that a lyric from a Doctor Dre song? I don't know.
Creeping while you sleep. I don't know if that's really the lyrics, but I know it says creeping. I'm I'm just thinking this could be a great side hustle for you. Well, you know, I plan to get back to streaming. It may happen this weekend.
I might do the, the TikTok live. Yeah. It's so funny. Mhmm. Right as I went on to Andy's stream, our mutual friend, Andy Matter, he was talking about how he would never see himself streaming anywhere else besides Twitch.
Yeah. And I told him, like, hey. Victor plans on streaming on TikTok or YouTube. And What did he say? He didn't really say much on it.
I mean, Andy's not a negative guy. I feel like he'd be like, oh, good good for you, Victor, and that type of thing and move on. I just, you know, I don't have the patience for the growth on TikTok. What I or I mean Twitch. I'd like to get back to Twitch, but I think you have to build up an audience first.
I mean, you already have an audience go to Twitch. On your Facebook. Yeah. Exactly. Can share the stream there too.
I mean, you have close to 6,000 followers on it. And I've shared my Twitch streams on Facebook, and I'll usually get a few people in, but most people don't use Twitch. They don't. It's a small audience of people. So I'd rather go where the people are, and that's TikTok and YouTube.
Absolutely. And then any roses. Yeah. And then if it then if it gets, doing well, then I fire the Twitch back up or multistream, do YouTube and Twitch at the same time. All sites all at once and acknowledge all five chats.
Yeah. And that's the only problem I've had is figuring out how to compile the chats. I don't know. I'm I'm working on it. Sure.
Yeah. I I do have, the home studio all ready to go. So I just need to bring my camera home, plug it in, tinker with the lights, and just do it. So it it could happen this weekend. And, I'll make sure to share posts if I'm gonna be live on TikTok.
So I'll let everybody know, and it'll be fun. I just gotta figure out what I'm gonna do on the stream. I don't it's been a long time since I stream. Eat and sleep. People watch me eat?
Yeah. I Watch your hand shake right as it's about to go into your mouth and then yeah. I am starting to feel kinda shaky today. Oh, boy. I've had no food and lots of caffeine.
Hey. Peaches was playing me a little bit of audio from an LA radio show, and it's a new host. Yeah. Shout out to Nick Carter. I've known him for a little while.
I have reached out to him when I was an intern at Coast just to be like, hey. Do you have any tips on for what I should do after this internship type of thing? Mhmm. And he just messaged back saying you're in the best place to do so talking to Ellen Kaye and all those people, those legends in that Yeah. IHeartMedia building.
Hit up this guy named Jay Davis, peaches. That's what I recommend. Yeah. Reach out to this skeleton I met one time named Jay Davis. In this random state called Idaho.
But, you know, and he did a a fine enough break there. But it was funny because it's his fur was that his very first live break? That was his very first break of the show. I missed it, unfortunately. I was tuned in, and I was hearing him do these different breaks.
I mean, he clearly he was told talk for 10:20 seconds. Yeah. Yeah. Make some stupid joke, make some relatable content, and then go right to the next song or the commercial break. That's generally what they want the afternoon person to do.
Right. He had a little bit of personality to him. He wasn't doing, like, keyword cash, you know, that type of thing like the midday person usually does. Yeah. No.
And he he did good, but it was funny because he just started naming off LA stuff. Well, he's like, I I embrace your land because he's he's from the frozen tundra known as New York, which if you think about it, New York's not really all that frozen. I mean Compared to a place like here or North Dakota, South Dakota Yeah. Any one of these states, they they'll laugh. But, like, even say the frozen tundra known as New York.
Just say, like, the concrete jungle or something like that. Yeah. Just I'm yeah. I'm I came here from New York. Yeah.
I don't even give it everything doesn't need a nickname. I know. You gotta spice it up a bit, Peaches. Gotta spice things up. And then he calls the LA people Angelinos.
Is that what you refer to yourself as over there? I'm from Orange County. So that's that's not Okay. But the LA area. Does anyone I'm from the OC.
Does yeah. You're an Oceer? Yeah. Now do people in LA proper call themselves Angelinos? Probably.
I don't know. Okay. I know that sometimes people get weird about that. Like, in Arizona, Arizonans is considered like a a good way to call yourselves. But if you say Arizonite, I guess there's a negative connotation to that.
Accord according to my daughter's boyfriend anyway. I would have been like Arizonians. Yeah. I think it's Arizonians, and then you hear Arizonites. So I think, you know, it tends to be the rural areas say, Arizonites.
But Nick, went on the air and just said, like, I am embracing the Los Angeles Dodgers, the LA Rams, and, like, all this typical, like He just named, like, everything. Yeah. And all basic stuff. Yeah. You know?
Hey. Here we got, the Santa Monica Pier down the road, and, let's talk about Venice Beach. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You ever been to the Hollywood Walk Of Fame?
See, I would have hopped on the air and be like, hey. You know what? Let's go to Venice Beach and find out which needles for what. Ozempic? Meth?
Ozempic? What else is there? Straight up heroin needle? Yeah. Last time I was here, you wouldn't believe the mayhem I saw when I was down on Skid Row.
You know, I get kinda bored, so I decided to go walk the streets and that. One of the homeless guys in studio. He's live here. Crazy Carl. Let's do something.
That's what I'm talking about. You bring, you know, somebody who probably needs a shower. And I I mean, Hopi and Anthony used to do do that kind of thing. So did Stern, you know, bring just, unhinged people into the studio. Management probably doesn't let you do that at most places anymore.
Well, I would think that there's a top end security team ready at all times Oh, yeah. With Howard Stern and Opie and Anthony for the SiriusXM Building. Yeah. I mean and I don't know what the, Morello Media Building is like in LA. I've never been to it.
But I I mean, again, it was his first first break. It's like, you know, I don't expect him to immediately go off the rails. I heart was on the Fifth Floor. You would take the elevator up. You would go in.
They would have to buzz you through the front door. Mhmm. Then you have to walk down this, like, hallway of lights and then buzz through another door. Oh, wow. Talk to the front desk, get buzzed through a third door.
Wow. And all of their studios are lined up in one row. And the front door to each studio is just like a bank vault. You have to, like, unscrew a whole bunch of stuff and Wow. Yeah.
I mean, we're getting close to that here. It's No. We're not. Multiple, multiple entries we gotta go through here. You know, you gotta get buzzed in and then you gotta somebody would have to let you in the other door.
And those walls were incredibly soundproof. I mean, incredible. It was a state of the art facility. I mean, I would imagine from the images I've seen of iHeart's facilities, they make them pretty fancy looking. So if they didn't, you know, soundproof the rooms, that would be pretty stupid.
The one conference room they have has TV screens all around you. I've talked about this before too with, like, the other break rooms as well that are named after different pop stars. And I said, could you imagine getting fired in the Dua Lipa room or something like that? Time for you to dance the night away right out that door, buddy. The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem powered by Hallease Ghost is a production of Riverbend Media Group.
