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. So, Victor, I think it was earlier this week I asked the question on my show, not for the peach throne, just genuinely asked, does anybody know anyone that works for PETA? Because I feel like knowing somebody that works for PETA would be a nightmare. They would be the biggest party pooper out there when it comes to, like, Thanksgiving. Oh, I don't want the turkey.
I need tofu because I'm vegan and blah blah blah blah blah. So I titled the podcast, does anyone know anyone that works for PETA? Uh-huh. What do I get in my email today? Somebody who represents PETA.
Reaching out to you. Reaching out to me. Her name's Nicole. Okay. Goes, hi, Brendan.
We heard you ask listeners if they knew anyone who works for PETA. They didn't actually listen to the show. Maybe. They just saw the title. And the AI generated a picture for it that says, does anyone work for PETA?
Okay. All this lady did was say, I'm one of the happy to answer your questions directly. As an animal rights organization, we stand up for all animals from dogs and cats to chimpanzees and rats. And while we don't expect everyone to agree with all of our campaigns, we're sure that if you take a look look of of what PETA does, you'll find that we share a lot of common ground. You may be surprised to see some of our many victories for animals, including prompting the rescue of nearly 4000 beagles from notorious laboratory supplier Envigo Yeah.
Searching securing the rescue of 25 chimpanzees and counting from decrepit roadside zoos and private homes as profiled in HBO's Chimp Crazy. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, when it comes to PETA, there are certainly lots of things I agree with him on. Right.
You know, every once in a while, like, she mentioned, you know, a campaign. You know, it's kinda like those people who will go do an environmental protest and chuck a bunch of paint on paintings in a museum. You know? I think there are better ways to raise awareness than some of the extreme things that some of their I don't even know if they're representatives or people that just go, hey. I'm here in Portapita.
Almost like a cult follower. Like like a bad representation of the company. Yeah. Because there's, you know, people who are into all kinds of different things that might go out and say, I'm doing this in the name of blank, but maybe they're not necessarily at all affiliated with them. Yeah.
And, I mean, I don't know tons about PETA, you know, and the the different controversies that have arisen over time, but I've I've looked at a lot of their material. And I just know they're complaining about everything. They're boycotting certain issues here and there. Like, I think it was more so they were boycotting this movie because of the, way rats are portrayed Yeah. In the movie, and that's what I that's the whole break was I was making fun of PETA for just being that person that's just, I don't know, complaining about a lot of different things that don't necessarily have to be complained about.
And, I mean, it it's a weird one because, like, the I read the story about the rats in the, whatever movie it was. Yeah. I was like, do you guys glorify Ratatouille? Because it's like they're smart creatures in that movie. Like, oh, no.
That's great. So, you know, that seemed a little silly to me because it's a movie. I'm sure no rats were harmed in the movie. Rats do pack disease and things like that. Oh, you said that.
Fan of rats. We already mentioned PETA, so I feel like they're gonna listen in now. I you know, either way, even if their campaign's ridiculous, it does draw attention to the issues. So I think as long as they're not hurting people in any way or, you know, if they're not causing harm, even if the way they go about it seems silly to me, I think it's good to raise awareness on, you know, issues with them because there's there's a lot of terrible stuff that goes on with animals. You know, factory farming, and you gotta be careful talking about it around here.
But, you know, there's been a lot of investigations into things like that, and you see some pretty terrible things sometimes. So, you know, even though PETA can be annoying, I guess, I I don't really get mad at them. I'm also wondering because this lady, Nicole, she's the media officer for PETA. Then you should interview her. I'm assuming that she just, well, she's not in the radio business.
Why would I interview her? Because she's their media rep. Yeah. I'm okay. Talk to her about No.
I'm not that you might learn some stuff about PETA. I'm not all that curious about it. I was just more so making a joke in one of my breaks, and I'm thinking she's just scouring the Internet for any positive or negative anything, about PETA and then sending these emails to a whole lot of people. See, I told you you need to fill out all that information and transfer. I told you that SEO I do.
It worked. I'm on top of it. It worked. I'm in charge of 3 different podcasts. I know.
The SEO worked good. PETA found it. So It's the title of the podcast itself. It's not the transistor thing that you're talking about. You just made a reference on on the air that nobody's going to get That's why.
Tuning in right now. They they don't need to get like Jade because he's always eavesdropping. Yeah. They don't need to. Like PETA.
He's looking out for he's complaining about dumb things. Nitpicking here and there. Jade is our PETA. I want you to interview her about the movie with rats. No.
No. I'm okay. And I'll be like, if you heard the song by Ghost, What do you think about it? Come on. Clearly, we are fans of rats.
We play the rats songs all the time. We love rats and bats and everything. And Victor's a cat guy, so settle down. So, Victor, I don't I don't wanna bring up the local competition, but you do know how nice Shaggy is as a person. Yeah.
I mean, I wouldn't call him competition. That's not fair. Right. But Shaggy is very nice. Well, me and Shaggy both, at the same time, sent each other this particular video of, you know you know that account there?
I ruined it. Yeah. They decided to upload. I don't know if you saw this yesterday or not, but a Creed version of well I didn't see that. Red nose reindeer.
It's Had a bear shining nose. Yeah. I was hoping to have this play at the same time he we were trying to set it up to where we would both play this during the noon hour Oh. On both stations. That's right.
We were just confused, those people just going through the channels. Well, now we got another new song the next time we interview Scott Snapp. Alright. Remember fans feet. Have you heard the the mashup?
The Rudolph. Yeah. Somebody posted it in the, the k Bear group. That's where I saw it. So, pretty good.
I don't know the word. The can girl take me I I I did see they announced that a good continuation of that summer of 99 tour for next year with, Mammoth Wolfgang Van Halen, I think, and, the same usual Daughtry and all of that, but they're not coming anywhere close, unfortunately. Down, etcetera? Yeah. Yeah.
You went to the show in Salt Lake. That's right. Yeah. I wish I coulda caught it. I'm sure it was fun.
The Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater has the best seats out of any venue I've been to so far. Oh, really? Because it's they're nice and wide. There's enough legroom for me. Yeah.
I will give them the legroom. Hate places that have the tiny, tiny chairs. Yeah. And I even posted about it on my personal Facebook page where where you commented saying, oh, good for you when I said the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater has the best seats. I I don't see, that's how much I remember things.
You know? You you put in the Christian mail, oh, right there in the comments. Yeah. I don't remember, comments I made 5 minutes ago online. So Right.
I heard your, intro part of the show this morning, and you're like, I forgot what podcast I was even on yesterday. Well, I forgot the name for a second. You know? But that was also, to be fair, 6 AM, and I I was very tired. So tired today too.
It's been it's been rough. And I did 2 hours of straight talk with, Chris on that podcast. I figured you would be a perfect guest for a podcast just because you you sit there, you say I you ask a question, you let Victor go. Yeah. Pretty much.
I've I was started feeling bad as it went along because you're like, usually, I do them about an hour. I'm like, okay. Cool. And we got an hour in, and I could tell he still had a lot of stuff he wanted to ask me about. And I'm like, is your wife gonna get mad at how much of your time I'm eating up?
He's like, no. It's cool. I mean, when I asked when I had John on the podcast, I got carried away, and I showed him a bunch of different videos. And, what's it called? He he can tell, like, he was wanting to get going, I think.
Or at least I'm just an overthinker like that, and I think he wanted to get going. And I'm like, oh, thank you, John. Appreciate it. And just logged off after being on Zoom for with him for 2 hours. Yeah.
It it was fun. It was fun to be on the other end, you know, not running the show. It it was nice. Yeah. At some point, I would like to be a guest in a podcast, but we'll see.
Yeah. I'm never cool enough for 1. We gotta get these these local guys. Come on. Write us on your show.
Yeah. Come on. Victor, when I go on to Instagram, I sometimes see podcast highlights Mhmm. Of other people talking about whatever. Yeah.
And there's these 3 dudes that, I guess, run this podcast. I don't know what the title of it's called, But this conversation has gone viral between the 3 guys because they highlight this orangutan that used to live oh, what zoo was it? It used to live in the San Diego Zoo. Okay. And they called him Harry Houdini, but his name was Ken Allen.
Now they they named the orangutane Ken Allen out of all things. That's a weird name for an orangutane. Ken apparently was an escape artist. He would always escape the pen, and he hated this fellow orangutan named Otis. And he was caught stoning Otis What?
A couple times, and I think with rocks. The zookeepers are finding out, like we were thinking that, like, it's because Otis had 3 females in his pen, and Ken didn't. Oh. So Ken was upset. Well, I'll bet.
It's messed up. Give Ken some, you know, some companionship. And one of the zookeepers accidentally left a crowbar in his What? In Ken Allen's pen. So That's terrible.
Ken didn't know what to do with the crowbar. So one of the females that was in his pen because I think there was, like, 2 or maybe just one female in Ken's pen. The other one had a lot of them. Yeah. The other one was, like, the playa of the San Diego Zoo.
And so one of the female orangutans somehow used the crowbar to open up some crevice to where Ken Allen escaped again. I love that. It's a I need to find the official audio of these guys talking because they the way that they did it, the way that they talked about because they were trying to say, like, oh, the the maintenance guy who dropped the crowbar was in on Ken Allen's escape. I think Ken was just wanting to escape. Could be.
I saw that movie Chimp Crazy, that TV show we talked about earlier. Crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, there are definitely people who would help, you know, all kinds of primates escape from the zoo.
There's people who are crazy about them. But yeah. So Harry Houdini or Ken Allen lived from 1971 to 2000. And, yeah, he would he he was, like, basically prison break multiple times. There was no it's it's a whole story behind him.
And the whole stoning Otis thing had me die and laughing just because I can imagine he pulled up to the San Diego Zoo, and you just see an orangutan just chucking a rock that's not even in in his pen. He's just out with the other zoo key the zoo fans. Yeah. Like, you you can't give a a monkey rocks or weapons. Alright?
They cannot be trusted. They're too much like people. I've I've seen that movie 2,001. Wow. He died he died of prostate cancer at 29 years old.
He developed prostate cancer, then he was euthanized on December 1, 2000. Poor. But Harry who Kenny. Ken Allen. I love that whole story.
It just makes me laugh. Oh, man. That's good stuff. So Katie Lee over at z 103, she has I'm z 103 where she highlights different people of the community. Yeah.
And the most for the most part, she's been interviewing musicians as of late. Musicians and, in the past, other creative types. I've encouraged a few people to, fill out the form at riverbendmediagroup.com on the z 103 page and, you know, promote what you're up to. It doesn't matter if you're a k Bear listener and you're like, oh, Z. You might as well go on there because that's a huge platform to go on.
Totally. Lots of people listen to z 103, and you're gonna reach people you probably wouldn't otherwise, you know, if you're doing something creative or or whatever. And if you are a creative person, that's perfect for you. You want more people to look at what you're doing. Exactly.
You wanna get that stuff out to as many people as possible. Well, I think there was a video that I sent over to my friend Bryson, and I'm like, look at this dumb video here. And sure enough, he messages back going, dude, I think that's Idaho Falls. And I looked, and I'm, like, wait a second. I do recognize that street.
That's 25th right there by the mattress outlet in the Taco Bell that I frequently go to. And Okay. Sure enough, this girl named Carolina Roslyn k. She's recording herself driving, and there's people making driving mistakes on the dash cam right there all around Idaho Falls. And she that's all she does.
She just posts people here in the area making driving mistakes. There was somebody that went through the roundabout, like, through the and we can completely messed up. There's another part where someone just there was she came to a four way stop. I forgot which one it is in town, but sure enough, the first person to move was the person that wasn't supposed to move and almost caused an accident. She was commentating on it while driving because there's a camera on her in the car too.
I think that's pretty cool. Yeah. She has 30,000 followers, and it's people just making driving mistakes here in Idaho Falls. We'll have to figure out how to get a hold of her. Maybe we could bring her in for traffic school powered by The Advocates.
Yeah. That'd be great. You know? Alright. What's the dumbest thing you've seen recently on local roads?
And do don't look at my truck out there. Yeah. Well By the way, you've never seen it before. I'm trying to think what exactly the the big reel was that caught my attention because it just literally popped up on my suggested Instagram reels. Oh, really?
It wasn't, it wasn't anything like, oh, you're you're in Idaho Falls. She should join the Life in Idaho Falls Facebook group. And you literally see tons and tons of examples of bad Idaho drivers. She even pointed out somebody with a a Hawaii license plate driving around and making mistakes, and some of these reels have millions of views. You gotta ship your car over on a boat?
Is that what you do if you have a a car from Hawaii? That's what I've wondered. Yeah. I have a friend who lives in Hawaii, and I seem to seem to remember him having to ship his van on a boat when he moved. Well, you're not certainly driving on the water surface because there's no lawn bridge from Hawaii to California.
There should be. Come on. You know? Go make a public campaign and be run Build a big bridge. Build a big bridge from California Southern California to Hawaii.
Yeah. Maybe even, like, loop in Catalina right there. Yeah. Might as well. Yeah.
I mean, that should be high. Enough to where cruise ships can go under it. Yeah. It won't cost much. You have to go up like a roller coaster.
Right? You just have to sit there in the car sort of like you're, like, taking off in a rocket ship. You're leaning back, trying to drive up the car up the steep hill so you go on the bridge and then drive down to get to Hawaii. I wonder how long that would take. Oh, forever.
Just forever. Dude, big bridges make me nervous, man. I've seen too many videos, news stories about bridges collapsing. When I was in Minnesota one time, you know, flew in, drove to my grandma's house. We crossed this big bridge.
Later that night, the bridge collapsed. Jeez. I mean and this is a bridge over the Mississippi River. You know, huge bridge. And so I've been terrified of it ever since.
I know your next vacation, Key West, Florida. One bridge in, one bridge out. That's where Hulk Hogan lives. You can go be like, sup, brother? And Oh, damn.
That bridge out to his place. I do kinda wanna go to Florida. Well, if you go to Key West, it's the very tip the very, very tip of Florida. Yeah. Yeah.
Like, if you there's a hurricane, you're screwed. You can't leave. Oh, yeah. That that one bridge is about to be filled with cars, and then you're stuck on a bridge over the deep ocean when a hurricane's coming. Yeah.
Dude, I'm so excited for GTA 6 because you know they're gonna have hurricanes. Are they? They've got That's gonna be annoying. How could you not have it'll probably wouldn't be like they happen regularly. It'll probably be part of the story.
Yeah. But if you have to take shelter in GTA 6, you know how stupid that would be? I bet they're not gonna have you take shelter. I'm trying to write down, like, go out toward hurricane siren, and you gotta, like Nah. Find cover.
Dude, I've played enough GTA recently. What they'll do is there's gonna be crazy Florida hillbillies that go out, and they're storm chasers. And you know you're gonna get stuck driving the storm chasers out and, you know, some kind of mayhem's gonna go down. But, hopefully, you know, there'll be places getting ripped to pieces, you know, devastation, and then maybe it changes, locations in the map, like, permanently after that. You know?
Because it like That sounds like a lot of Dude, I'm I'm expecting GTA to be drive. I'm expecting it to be super advanced. Because even like Red Dead, there's stuff that progresses throughout the game, buildings that are built and things like that. Or people that you can blow up with dynamite right before a cutscene, and then somehow they pop up in that cutscene as a corpse. Yeah.
Or you see Arthur's hair grow and you can shave it. Yeah. I tried to do that, and I think that was a a scam, that video of Arthur's hair growing in the cutscene. Oh, of, the the hair growth elixir, and you just take a whole bunch of that before it cuts you? And I tried it.
I took, like, a 100 of them. I maxed out the number I could buy, and I just drank all of them. There's a big pile of empty bottles on the ground because Arthur just litters with everything he does. He does. And, Well, there's no trash cans back then.
Yes. You just throw it on the grill. Yeah. There's no, like, designated trash can in the city. So you mow down your can of beans, and you throw the can on the ground.
But, yeah, tons of bottles of empty hair elixir on the on the ground. And, eventually, his hair did grow, but it it wasn't like in that video. I was I was so bummed. I was very disappointed. Find it funny.
There was a particular cutscene where this lady that just goes through the window because through dynamite, and the cutscene gets triggered. And you the lady's all concerned. She's like, Arthur, we need to fix this. Boom. And she flies out the window.
What what people are doing with Red Dead Redemption 2 is fantastic. I'm sure you've seen that video of the guy that's streaming Red Dead Redemption, and the the the the horse drawn carriages are traveling at light speed. Yeah. So it's a horror game. Like, you can't go in the middle of the the street because you're about to get run over and kill.
I haven't seen that one. It's it's popping up, but it's it's it's pretty funny. I think you should mod it at least. Try it on stream one time. Mod Red Dead Redemption 2.
You know, change the horses into the giant frogs that we talked about yesterday. Yeah. I do need to mod the game and give it a whirl because I bet it's really fun. I should do it with GTA 5 too because there's a lot of insane mods for that one. Horrible video that I saw.
People are still modding Skyrim, and that's, think, even even an older game compared to GTA 5. Yeah. That's that goes back quite a ways. And this little kid, he's just a complete piece of garbage in the city. Like, the thing is a girl, actually.
She's just like, what are you looking at? And so what this character does, what this guy does is that he goes and finds this kid's parents and kills them in the game. She? And then she she she gets changed to the orphanage. Oh, no.
And the kids the kid the it cuts to the dialogue of him talking to the kid. The kids are like, I lost my parents. And then so this is a modded version? Well Or would that really happen? No.
I think if you I don't know. See, that's the thing. I wonder if it is a mod because there are mods where you can, you know, hurt the kids. In regular Bethesda games or in any video game, you can't hurt or kill any kids. Okay.
So I don't think there's a mod Red Dead either. But there is a mod for that where you can do that. Yeah. I've seen crazy stuff like that in Red Dead where I mean, the story is so crazy and everything that gets kept track of. Like, you could kill some NPC, and they're related to somebody, and later on, that person's really mad at you.
Mhmm. Oh, I know what you did. And just like it's so every time I play that game, I find something new. Right. And I've put in, like, 2 months of real lifetime.
And you wonder how detailed GTA 6 will be. Yeah. Because it's gonna be people are gonna figure out those Easter eggs. It's gonna be a long time till somebody cracks down the big code on Yeah. Because people are still finding stuff in GTA 5.
Mhmm. You know? That game's been out for a decade. There's unfinished stuff in Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5. Like, you know, Red Dead, there's the giants that you never meet, and you you were supposed to meet them, but that never got made.
I always say, hello, peaches Yeah. When I get to that part. Oh, sure. The noon hour of madness and mayhem powered by Halisco's is a production of Riverbend Media Group. For more information oh, wow.
It smelled of my spit wrong while I was still talking. That's funny. Alright. Okay. Where was I?
