[upbeat music] The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast.
[upbeat music] Victor, I heard you talking this morning about becoming a Hydro homie.
Yeah, I'm, I'm thinking about it, 'cause I don't drink enough water. So maybe I need the giant jug, and it'll encourage me, like, "I gotta finish it! I gotta finish the jug."
I can warn you right now, it makes you go pee every five minutes.
Well, uh, I mean, that's not a bad thing. It's good for your kidneys, right? Keep flushing things out.
Can you be overly hydrated? I think you can.
You can. You can, like, die.
Mm-hmm.
Remember, uh, We for a Wii, that terrible radio competition?
Oh, but she also was holding in the-
That's true
... the end product.
But I think you can still... 'Cause I remember one time I had, like, the flu or something, and I was so thirsty, so thirsty! And I was just drinking t- tons of water, and I got, like, extra sick.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Okay.
Not good, not good.
Well, I, I, I've been drinking a whole bunch of water out of my Hydro Flask, and I've just been going to the bathroom nonstop. Feels like my water broke.
[laughs] Oh! Well, speaking of your water breaking, you know, if you've got a baby on the way, our friends at Z103, they got a great, great contest going on, and today's the final day to sign up.
Yeah, so if you're pregnant, and you, you crave a weird food... Like, for some reason, right here next to me, there's a mild sauce packet, a mild taco sauce packet.
Yes, I was, uh, eating a breakfast sandwich earlier today-
Ooh
... in the dark.
Sounds good.
And I grabbed what I thought was a ketchup packet-
But this is-
'Cause in the dark, it-
Pretty good.
That's my favorite packet hot sauce [laughs] Heinz taco sauce.
[laughs]
But no, I did find some ketchup packets, 'cause I do enjoy a weird food combination to a lot of people: breakfast sandwiches with ketchup. Like, I'll even eat a McGriddle with ketchup, and that's-
I, I, I s- I still say to this day, you ate a b- you ate a sushi roll with ketchup.
I-
I still say to this day. I... It's n- it must be a Mandela effect.
Yeah.
I, I s- there, there was one time where I walked up to your office, your, your doorway, and I see you sitting there jabbing sushi with a fork and then just drenching the pieces in ketchup.
Yeah, no, soy sauce. Like, that, that's about it, dude. Unless I had... It's possible-
You're gaslighting me
... like, sweet and sour?
That's what you're doing. You're gaslighting me. [laughs]
No, Peach, I did not put ketchup on sushi.
Yeah, you did. [laughs]
But that would be a weird food combination that you could submit for Ma- Mama's Munchies.
Yeah, with Mountain View Hospital and Z103. Make sure to submit it before the end of day today-
Yeah
... so that way you can win a great prize, like a, a newborn photo shoot. New, great prizes, newborn photo shoot and also a full-on nursery.
Yeah, like a crib and a changing table, a swing, all that stuff. Uh, all you do is go to z103.fm, click on the link, fill out the form, and bam, you're in to win. It's that easy.
It's also on our app, too.
It's in our app as well.
It's, it's on our app.
Okay.
Z103 Mama's Munchies. Says right there in the menu. Click on it, takes you right to the proper form.
Yeah, so you know anybody who's pregnant, tell them to submit, 'cause things are expensive.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know what a crib runs nowadays, but I'm sure it ain't cheap. [upbeat music]
Well, Victor, I did it. You know, I posted in Life in Idaho Falls not that long ago about, uh, the Starlight Skating.
Yeah, I talked about it on air, actually-
It's, it's-
... about your post.
It's always incredibly crowded. Aubrey was the one that was like, "Why is it always so busy?" You know, sounding like Jerry Seinfeld-
Yeah
... right there. [laughs]
And-
Not, not her, but me trying to... "Why is it always so full?"
Yeah, and it is an interesting question. I thought it was a reasonable question, and you still managed to get outrage for that question. [laughs]
Well, that's what I, that's what I wanted to talk about. There's this one old lady that's called me an explicit version of a jerk.
Yes.
And so she liked her own comment.
[laughs] Yeah, I saw your response.
So... [laughs] And then luckily enough, some KBER listeners had my back and started to attack her.
Oh, geez.
And then she said, kind of like, "Screw you," kind of to-
Kind of
... to one of our listeners.
Uh-huh.
So then I, I reported that to the admins-
[laughs]
... and guess whose comment got deleted? Hers.
[laughs] For using profanity?
That's right. For using profanity and also attacking another member of the group-
That's right
... which is not allowed. Have you seen the admin's, uh, uh, what's it called? Her, her thing about nicknames in that group?
Yeah, she hates nicknames, which is funny, because, uh, I post in there under a fake name.
Well, don't tell her that. Don't, don't say that.
I'm saying it on air. But I don't have a profile. My profile is a fake name. My name that you know me as, listeners, is a fake name. Does that count as a nickname, though?
Uh-
'Cause that would be like if you posted as Peaches.
I, I, I could see where we get a pass because we're a part of the community with these names that people know us as.
Okay. All right, I guess that's fair. What if I... You know, what if your name is Robert, and you call yourself Bob? That's a nickname.
Technicalities here. I'm, I'm-
I know
... she's more so aiming at those people that are like, "I'm a FreakShow970"-
[laughs]
... not to attack our listener for saying that, for that being their name, because that person's awesome.
Yes.
But, and people with nicknames are welcome here. They're encouraged here.
Yeah.
Like Crazy Jay.
Yeah! We, we, we got a lot of listeners with nicknames, but, uh, I, I do find it funny that the nickname thing bothers her, 'cause are you allowed to post as anonymous?
Let me check.
Yeah, 'cause then you're, like, totally... I mean, I guess the admins can tell who you are, but they could tell who you are with a nickname anyway, so I don't know. But yeah, your, your question was very reasonable about Starlight Skating, and I was actually informed by your, your post because I learned that they do a lot of different things there aside from just skating. I had no idea.
You can't post anonymously. I just checked.
Okay, okay.
Uh, I think it's because people would go on there and then just talk crap about local businesses and hide their identities, so they turned that off-
Ah
... which makes sense.
Yeah.
'Cause it's like, why would you go in there and be, and th- throw this whole-on tantrum about, like, "Oh, Garcia's, they went downhill, didn't they?"
[laughs] Yeah, I know. People are so crazy, dude. Post about any business, and people just lose their minds. There's gotta be somebody to complain about it.... I mean, if you posted about K-Bear in there, somebody would say, "It used to be better back in the '90s!"
I, I can't c- comment about K-Bear in there anymore, 'cause somebody's gonna put under there something- or not, not somebody, but, like, i- i- if we mention K-Bear, I think we got sort of like a red flag from the admins previously from the whole thing about that one, uh, hater listener that posted about me, took me out of context.
Yeah, well-
Made a stupid post in there trying to get people riled up about me.
I think we could post about, like, our promotions and things. I just ... Re- remember I had you post, like, [chuckles] something-
"Do you like Victor Wilt?"
"Do you like Victor Wilt?" [chuckles]
Yeah, and then that got-
'Cause we thought it would be funny, 'cause tons of people would be like, "No, he's a piece of crap. I hate his guts!"
Yeah, that got immediately rejected because, yeah, just the whole thing from previous about that one guy.
And I embrace the hate. You know, if you wanna talk crap about me, that's fine. I don't ever attack anybody. You know, people can call me dumb or what- whatever! Call me terrible names. I will try to make a, uh, smart aleck remark back, if anything, but I'm never mean, you know? I could easily poke, poke at a lot of people. You know, I'll pull up their profile picture, attack their appearance, [chuckles] you know, m- make fun of their family. I could do all kinds of mean things.
You should.
[chuckles] I should. I'm gonna start being a total jerk online. I'm just gonna change my tune.
Why is my phone going off during the middle of the noon hour? People never hit me up outside of when I'm on the air, and it's super annoying. Stop texting me.
Just tell 'em [chuckles] something mean, Peaches.
I'm putting my phone in sleep mode.
[laughing]
It's ridiculous. Stop ... M- my leg's over here vibrating. People are calling me.
[laughs] Don't bother Peaches! If you wanna bother him, call us at 208-535-1015.
Pre-
That's how you bother him.
Pretend I'm British royalty. Don't talk to me unless I talk to you first.
That's right. [chuckles]
That's right.
I am Maynard Backstage. [laughs]
[laughs] I'm Steve Harvey.
[laughs]
That's right. Don't even think about me. Don't even look at me. You've heard about that whole scandal, right?
I haven't.
About how he, he sent out that letter, like, if you're not, um ... Well, if you're not high up on the show, he doesn't wanna talk to you, anything of that sort.
Wow!
If you- if he walks down the hallway ... This is allegedly.
Allegedly.
If he walks down the hallway, you gotta move out of the way like he's Darth Vader type of thing.
We'll have to ask Lieutenant Crane about that, since he's gonna be on Family Feud on the 27th and 28th.
Well, here's the thing, is that he can put on the fake persona.
That's true.
Like, I can put on fake being nice anytime I want to.
I can't. Sometimes I'm j- you know, I- people can tell if I ain't feeling it. I, I'll still talk to people, but you can tell when I'm like, "I need to get out of this store."
It's those years of In-N-Out-w, uh, Burger going, "Hi, how are you?"
[laughing]
Screaming from out, from across the restaurant.
[laughs]
'Cause that, that's a thing for some reason. I hate it when people do that.
Yell across a, a business?
I, I hate it when employees are forced to go, "Hi, how are you?"
Yeah, yeah. Uh, th- that's why luckily we don't have guidelines on how to answer the phone. Yeah.
Oh, don't, don't put any idea in the Jade's head, please.
[laughing] [upbeat music]
It's the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. I am Peaches.
I'm Victor Wilt, and as you know, Peaches, what was it, about a week or two ago, I finally completed my country music project, 105 Outlaw.
Yee-haw.
Got it, got it relaunched.
Mm-hmm.
Well, of course, anytime you're dealing with, like, 700, 800 songs and a full library that you're rebuilding, uh, you have a few errors. You know, I had a few things that I screwed up, so I went in and fixed those this week.
You're human. We get it.
Yeah, and then I remembered that Justin at the Hawk had made this separate list of songs and artists that I had told him, like, "Hey, I'll get to those after I deal with my list." So today I went to pull up his list, and I couldn't find it, so I called him, and, uh, I'm like: "Where is it?" And he's like, "Well, I thought it was done, so I deleted it." And I was like, "What?" Now, I didn't really do that, but-
No, I heard the whole conversation. I'm, I'm in the Cannon Ball studio as this is going on, so I'm between the both of you.
Yes. So I managed to pull it up in the history, and I found the list, and I have now put myself back into country music heck, as we say, because I discovered, oh, there's some stuff on that list that we should probably add to the playlist. So for the last two hours, I have been building a new list [chuckles] of songs to torture myself with over the next who knows what amount of time. And I just wanted to let Justin know I didn't ignore your s- I think he l- I'm thinking he might've got mad and deleted the list. Like I just, you know, put him on the pay no mind list, and that is not the case. You know, I, I try to do things in a very specific order so I don't get confused. You know, when, when, when you get too many hands in and too many different spreadsheets, you're gonna go crazy. So thankfully I was able to recover it, and I just wanna let everybody know I'm throwing myself back into the nightmare [chuckles] of, of building the greatest outlaw country radio station ever. Uh, it's, it's already pretty good, 105 Outlaw. If you have friends or family that listen to country music, they can get the app or listen on 105.5 HD2 on your HD radios in your vehicles. But as of, uh, Monday, it's gonna be even better, and then however long [chuckles] it takes me to deal with the new nightmare I've created for myself, uh, it'll be even better after that. But, uh,
people d-j- don't delete stuff. Don't delete things before you're absolutely sure that they're, you know, uh, fully, fully handled, because, you know, the, y- y- you don't want people, uh, not being able to get the d- the job done right or getting yourself frustrated, thinking, you know, "Oh, they're putting me on the pay no mind list." You know? Peaches, uh, you're over there deleting stuff, ain't you?
No, I'm looking at the, uh, streaming numbers for Outlaw, 'cause Justin and I looked at this, uh, yesterday.
Uh-huh.
Have people really been picking that whole thing up? Have you guys been sharing it?
I haven't been sharing it at all.
'Cause the peak, uh, uh, the, the peak am- amount of people tuned into the app is 76.
Okay.
That's pretty wild for that station.
Yeah, that's-... Yeah, I haven't even been promoting it yet. Uh, so that's interesting. Uh, that's good, 'cause I [chuckles] I was gonna wait to promote it till I get it exactly how I want it. I've told K-Bear listeners, but yeah, that-
Well, I think they left us, 'cause the K-Bear listeners on the app, we only have about, like, 50 people.
[chuckles] There's more people listening to Outlaw than K-Bear?
Uh, not right now.
[laughing]
I mean, it shows-
But, but-
... our peak is 65. Their peak is 76.
Oh, okay. Well-
So people are listening to us other ways than just the app.
Well, yeah, I mean, most people listen to us on the radio.
Yeah, there was a guy that came in with, uh, Mack, one of our sales ladies, a couple days back and said, like, "Every job site right now is playing K-Bear."
Well, duh!
Yeah, of course.
You know, if you're not playing K-Bear, your business sucks.
Yeah. [laughing] If I walk in-
And you're not hearing this message right now if you aren't. [laughing]
I walk into this one place... I'm not gonna name them. It's a restaurant you've never been to.
I've never been there, huh?
I, uh... We were talking about it with Aubrey in the car.
Mm. Turn the mics off. Okay, okay. Yeah, that's right.
So we're, like-
Not, not playing K-Bear?
I walk in there, Star 98.
Ah, what? That station's garbage! At least listen to Z103.
Or Klassi.
Or Klassi. Yeah, Star sucks, man.
[laughing]
That's a garbage radio station. Broden-
I, I just wanted to rile you up with that.
[chuckles] It's a, it's a dump of a radio station.
They had to quit being a Top 40 station, 'cause they couldn't compare to Z103.
[laughing]
And then they tried attacking... What is it, the best of '80s, '90s, and today?
Yeah.
So it's essentially just like, uh, well, y- what, what Klassi sort of used to be.
Yeah.
'Cause Klassi's more modern now.
Yeah, we, we've done a lot of work on Klassi in the last year to, you know, make it for the target demographics, not people who are, like, 70, you know? [laughing]
[laughing] Yeah. "I don't know how to work an app."
Ah!
"What's an appetizer? Oh, I mean an app-
Yeah
... for my phone. What?"
Star 98, get out of here.
[chuckles] Star 98. Uh, I, I, I've been into a few places that have been playing, uh, some other stations, and I've been monitoring them on my phone.
Well, y- you should probably-
Luckily, Papa Murphy's plays Cannonball.
All right!
So shout out to them.
That's right. If you play us in your business, let us know. We'll give you a free plug. [chuckles]
I walked in, heard my voice... Which by the way, that also reminds me, I was in the Culver's drive-thru yesterday, and I look up, and I see my face staring back at me because of the new billboard.
Yeah, it did!
[laughing]
I didn't know that they were putting that up on the billboard when you sent me a photo of that. I was like, "Oh, look at our big, dumb heads."
I was trying to take a selfie with it, but of course, it was dark out, so you can't see it.
Yeah.
So I'm gonna go during my lunch break today-
All right
... and take a selfie if you wanna come with.
Um, I have to run home and let the dog out-
Oh
... 'cause Becca's at work, so yeah.
That's your girl's dog, you know.
[chuckles]
Let, let, let her take care of it.
She's at work, though, and the dog-
Yeah, it's, it's her fault
... dog might take a dump in the kennel. [chuckles]
Yeah, you know what? Be like, "Hey, it's just... It's your fault, your dog, your problem." You know?
I got enough problems with cat pee. No need dog poo. [upbeat music]
Wrapping up the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, and I gotta say, Victor, I hate the fact that all my friends are having kids.
You hate it, huh?
Because I go on Discord, they can't hop on, 'cause they have that stupid screaming baby in the background.
[laughing]
I, I, I predicted that my friend Jordan would not be able to go into the Discord call as much as he was, because, uh, his wife is gonna pressure him. You know, that, like, "Well, you should be taking care of our son, Jordan."
Well, yeah.
Like, that type of tone.
It's what you gotta do when you have kids, Peaches. Your life changes.
But then you go, "Screw you! I pay the bills."
[laughing] Yeah, it doesn't work that way, Peaches. When you got, when you got kids, there goes, uh, a lot of your, uh, previous existence. Your life has changed, and now you have a top priority-
We used to do, uh-
... which is the little one.
We used to do, uh, movie nights every Sunday.
Mm-hmm.
And that stopped because nobody wants a screaming kid in the background, right?
Yeah.
Uh, it's just... You see the mixture of parents. You see the ones that over-parent, which those annoy the cr- the crap out of me. They, they micromanage. They helicopter. They do a whole bunch of stuff. They, they're really, they really coddle their kids.
Mm-hmm.
And then there's the ones that just don't care. [chuckles] Or they, or they have, like, uh-
Those are your favorites. [laughing]
No, they, they have those kids that are just like... They're, they're, they're nice. Like, they're easygoing.
Yeah.
Like, I was, uh-
Yeah
... we were eating, uh, dinner with, uh, Aubrey's friends-
Mm
... and they all have kids, 'cause they had them relatively young and-
Oh, you're doomed, Peaches.
Uh, but what?
If, if all her friends have kids, your friends are having kids, dun, dun, dun, you're getting older. You don't wanna be one of those old dads. You don't wanna be an old dad, dude. It's... I mean, uh, trust me, it's exhausting. I'm glad I had kids when I was young.
I feel like I'm gonna be-
It's a young person's game.
I'm gonna be, like, the, uh, the strict father that I don't want to be, but I have to be.
Probably. [laughing]
"Who wants to meet Mr. Shoe?" [laughing] And brings out a giant-
[laughing] Oh, gee
... the giant shoe.
"Don't make me get the belt!"
[laughing]
"What'd you say to your mother?" [laughing]
[laughing]
Where was I going with this? Now I just went... I completely got sidetracked.
I don't know. You were complaining about your friends who have kids.
Oh, so yeah, but so a lot of those kids, they run around the restaurant. I find that super annoying.
Uh, yeah, keep your kids in line when you're out in public.
Yeah. Uh, there's... But there's this one son of this one friend that he's just chill. I don't know how... I think he's, uh, y- younger than, m- I think he's about a year maybe.
Okay.
I don't know. He just sits there in the high chair, and he just, he, he... Like, the dad was handing him ribs. He was eating them. He was just chill, so I hang out with that kid.
Yeah, see, some kids, Peaches, they're just bad kids.
Right.
[chuckles] They're born that way.
You gotta, you gotta really- [chuckles]
[laughing]
... It's like an untrained dog.
[laughing]
You know, you gotta, you gotta, like, really take them to some sort of sitter. [laughing]
Get a shock collar.
[chuckles] Yeah. I was about to make that joke-
[laughing]
... but, you know, I don't want some, like, listener taking me out of context, putting us in the, uh, the Life in Idaho Falls Facebook group, and predominantly in this area where people have a lot of kids, which also I wanted to talk about that, too.
Hold on. Let me real quickly jump in and say we were... We're not making light of child abuse, okay?
Yeah.
You shouldn't hit your kids with a shoe or a belt or put a shock collar on them. That is a horrible idea that we do not approve of. Now go ahead, Peaches.
I was gonna say that, uh... I just completely lost my train of thought now.
Um, I'm sorry.
Oh, yeah, for an area where they say, "No more people coming here"-
[laughing]
... they surely pop out a lot of kids.
[chuckles] That's true.
Like, you can't be a father of 12 and say, "I really hate people filling up my town!" [laughing]
[laughing] That's very true.
[chuckles]
You know, I, I, I only had two, so I think I did, I did fine. I'm, I'm not overpopu- and they left!... [laughing] they left. My kids moved out.
[laughing]
They went to other states.
I, I was laughing that, uh, Taryn, your daughter, did write Brokeback Mountain to Josh's question for the whole-
[laughing]
-Western movie thing.
[laughing] Didn't she?
And she put a smirky face in there, too.
[laughing]
Definitely has your sense of humor, doesn't she?
I, I, I threw in Cannibal the Musical-
[laughing]
- 'cause I, you know, I do, I do really believe that's a great cowboy movie. Uh, hopefully Josh and Shantel will watch it together if, if they haven't seen it.
And they have two kids of their own as well.
Yep, yep. They- that they do, and, uh-
It's very different 'cause, uh, A- Aubrey, um, she grew up in an, uh, in a t- an area and also, like, just... It's, it's, you're supposed to have a bunch of kids.
Yeah.
Just-
How many, how many brothers and sisters does she have?
She has five.
Five. So how many kids does she wanna have?
Uh, she wants to ideally have an even number.
And-
So it's either two or, like, four.
[laughing] Or six.
And I'm like, "Well, here's the thing, Aubrey."
How about 10? [laughing]
"Once you give birth to a giant kid like ours is gonna be, you're gonna be like, 'Maybe one's enough.'"
[laughing] Yeah, let him be an only child.
'Cause I, my... It took my parents four and a half years after I was born to then be like, "Okay, let's try for another."
'Cause they forgot. They forgot how, [laughing] how bad it was.
Luckily, Bailey is very dainty.
[laughing]
She's tall, but she's, like, 115 pounds. When you're 6'9", 360-
[laughing]
... and you're, uh, y- you can only imagine how small that baby is.
Oh, good.
Just kidding, how big the baby is. [laughing]
[laughing] Well, Peaches, uh, I'm wishing you luck.
Yeah.
It sounds like you're getting into that when all your friends around you start popping out babies. I don't know, it's like the universe just comes in and goes, "It's time."
Well, my friend Zach, he just got a house in Tennessee.
Mm-hmm.
They, they were talking about... He was a- already married before that, too. They, they were talking about, him and Rachel both were talking about once they finally get a house, then they'll start trying for kids, and sure enough, they made the big surprise at, at Christmastime. It took us forever to realize what they were talking about-
Ah
... 'cause we were playing the, uh, some, some Jackbox game, and they were hinting at it back then, couple months back, and it said mother and father something as their character names.
Oh, okay.
And I, we both just completely... 'Cause Zach's full of weird nicknames like that.
Yeah.
And then he finally started hinting at it more in the Discord call, like, last week. Like, "Yeah, you know, Rachel's eating for two," and, uh-
Oh
... and then it took us a second. You know, the, the, the monkey with the cymbals in my head.
[laughing] Geez.
Oh, they're expecting a, a little Zachary, Zachary to pop up.
[laughing] How many babies does Peaches want?
Uh, just two.
Just two?
Yeah.
Okay, 'cause I was gonna say, if you didn't want any, you could always just have a secret vasectomy.
No. [laughing]
[laughing] Like, I swear, I'm trying.
I know somebody that, uh, like, sh- he's in that situation where his c- now current girlfriend wants kids, but he hasn't told her that he's-
Oh, no! That's not good.
Yeah. [laughing]
You gotta be upfront with that. You gotta be upfront with that. That can c- I've, I've read Reddit posts about that. Yeah.
And it happened before they even got together.
Yeah, but you, you, you kinda gotta tell people. Um, I, I don't know, 'cause [laugh] if they're thinking down the line, "There's a possibility we're gonna make a family," and you can't, and then years [laughing] down the road, you're like, "Oh, uh, I forgot to tell you!"
Or even worse, even worse, all of a sudden she is expecting-
Oh, geez! [laughing]
