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. Hey, Victor. Did you see this story? I don't know because I can't see your screen. About, the Seattle Kraken hockey team's mascot got chased by a bear in Alaska.
No. I did not see that. The video is pretty crazy. So they're for some reason, though, they're fishing in in Anchorage, close to Anchorage. They were actually, they were in Anchorage for their annual partnership trip with the Bristol Bay Native Corporation.
Okay. A union that tries to bring hockey and community engagement together to hockey fans in Alaska. Okay. So they're in the water fly fishing, and the Seattle Kraken hockey player mascot is called Bowie. And he's in this giant costume and everything.
Okay. And sure enough, a bear approaches. The two fishermen go off to one side, and then buoy the mascot still in the middle of the water, and the bear starts running towards it. Full on running towards it. Luckily, it stops.
Grizzly bear. Oh, jeez. Yeah. Big grizzly bear going to the middle of the the water here. That is nuts, dude.
So nobody got hurt or anything. Nobody got hurt. They they just thought the bear was a little bit threatened by this weird looking creature standing in the middle of the water, and that's the reason why it charged. Holy cow. Yeah.
Imagine being in that in that costume, though, and thinking, like, this is the end. Yeah. The grizzly bear is running after you about to tear you to to shreds. Yeah. It's not a way you wanna go.
You know? I mean, even if you weren't wearing a costume, getting ripped apart by a grizzly would, suck pretty bad. But to have to die in a mascot costume, that that'd be awful. What would they do with the costume after that? Would they just kind of put it in like, let's say the grizzly bear got to the mascot.
Would they just put him in, like, this little glass case to commemorate a fallen soldier type of thing? I would hope so. Like, oh, this was our mascot that was killed by a grizzly bear? We we have to put this up as a tribute. I I would, I would think it needs to be on display permanently.
Yes. In in honor. You know, it'd be ripped to shreds, but, you know, it'd be something for people to go pay their respects to the Kraken. But, also, like, are they ever gonna have that mascot in the water again? Are they ever gonna put those hockey players in the middle of the water again?
Probably not. I have a feeling it's gonna gonna change, you know, their their procedures moving forward. Because why would why would they also like, a lot of these leagues now, for some reason, going international. They're going to these crappy fields, crappy rinks out in the middle of, I don't know, let's say a place like Mexico or in is somewhere, like, also over in Europe too. There's gotta be a good paycheck.
There has to be a whole lot of money the NFL is getting. Yeah. Sure. Because there's no way that anybody as a as a football fan, I would never wake up at 6AM to watch an NFL game over in Germany. No.
A lot of people who watch soccer I mean, first of all, soccer, in my opinion, is one of the worst sports out there. But why? But also, like It's not much different than the rest of them. Why is soccer not again, it's full of a bunch of just, like, you know, I I don't even wanna get into it because it's just it's it's it's not that great of a sport. The the score can end zero zero after ninety minutes of watching the game.
Does sound pretty boring. Yeah. And also, they're flopping everywhere. There's red cards. I I just don't find it at all entertaining.
Just watch a ball get kicked around the field. Yeah. I don't I don't I don't find many sports entertaining. So Hockey, I think you'd like because there's a lot of fights. There's a lot of teeth get getting, you know, coming out of the mouths.
There's a whole bunch of stuff. Football is just giant dudes trying to tackle each other. Yeah. Basketball has gotten way soft for sure. Basketball reminds me of soccer.
It's just back and forth with the ball. Well, you also you do a whole lot more in basketball compared to soccer. I I mean, you throw the ball. You don't kick it. The score is also, like, a 120 to 80.
Yeah. Get dunked on. Sometimes there's fights happening. It used to be a whole lot worse. What about those sweet moves where the guy, like, you know, do a backflip kick, knock it in goal kick?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. See? When it find when the score finally reaches one nothing after fifty minutes of gameplay.
That's right. Woah. Good job, Ronaldo. We might have a little cue the outrage, but I feel like it's almost rightfully so from what I've seen online so far. Okay.
What you got? The Idaho Falls Downtown Development Corporation, the I F D D C, is introducing a new paid on street parking system with the business improvement district transitioning from the current two hour free parking. What? So you'll have to pay They'll always have to pay. The new system managed through the park smarter app will be rolled out in two phases with the first phase beginning in October.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, the initiative aims to improve parking availability and turnover for customers ensuring a more vibrant and accessible downtown. I'm assuming that, phase let's see here. I'm trying there's so much information here. Well, I think we all know that trying to park downtown sucks. You know?
It it's it's just terrible. And it's not like it's only Idaho Falls. Downtown anywhere Yeah. Absolutely sucks. And I mean I usually love going downtown places, but I also love when there's a whole lot of less people.
I mean, the place is growing. You go to any bigger city. You general city. You gotta pay to park, like, everywhere. Yeah.
So I'm not too surprised. And if it does help make it so you can park easier, I wonder how expensive it's gonna be. Because usually they have, like, the meters, you know, and you just put the money in the meter. On street parking proposed rates will be tiered at $1 for the first hour, $2 for the second, $2 for the third, and $10 for the fourth. Jeez.
The maximum on street parking time will be four hours. These proposed rates were discussed with the Idaho Falls City Council on Monday, July 28. Is there any is there any certain hours that this is gonna take place, or is it, you you know, twenty four seven? I'm assuming it's probably I I don't see a time here. Wait.
No. Here we go. Beginning in October, on street paid parking will be enforced Monday through Friday from 8AM to 6PM. Parking will remain free on evenings, weekends, and federal holidays. Yeah.
I mean, I I guess when I've had to go downtown during the day, I get very aggravated, but it's just as bad on the weekends and in the evenings. Well, there's still that free lot behind the library. For now. For now. Don't tell people about that bitches.
We have people who just moved here. Yeah. But you people are gonna be dumb no matter what. They're also gonna take over. But there's tons of people out there.
I love it when the snow comes around and all the bugs and the literal human pests all leave. That's true if there's any benefit to the horror that is winter. It's no bugs and less people. Like I've talked about, you don't deserve Idaho at its best if you're not here for the worst. I disagree.
Why? I if I could afford it I wouldn't I would not live here whatsoever. If I had tons of money, I'd be out so fast. Before you even said the name the word rich Well I'd be gone. I'd probably if I, like, won the lottery, I'd probably like to have an Idaho house, but I'd I'd go somewhere like Victor or, you know, something like that.
Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.
Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.
Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.
Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.
Wait. Wait. Winter, no. No. Yeah.
Not a fan, dude. Not a fan. You wouldn't you wouldn't you wouldn't choose even some even one more secluded place. Like, a more secluded place. More more secluded than you.
You're the gods. Like, I love having no people around. Yeah. I I don't know. I'd probably wanna not deal with snow ever.
So and also it gets kinda hot here in the summertime. I'd probably go, like, Oregon Coast for the, you know, summer months, the the nicer months, and then Arizona for the winter, like every other old person. Not Florida, though. No way. Not like Vegas?
No. Southern California? Uh-uh. Too many people. Too many people.
Nah. There's there's a there's a lot of area of California that you What? You want me to move out to the Salton Sea? I mean, you can move to Big Bear Lake. That that I don't know.
I I like Oregon better than California. You've never really explored California. I have seen all of California. Like, I've driven from the top to the bottom. Yeah.
You've never really stayed there. You've just driven through. No. I I've stayed in, Big Sur. I've stayed, in Monterey.
I've stayed in what what's the name of that town? Depot Bay or Depot Bay. I've stayed in LA. I've stayed in San Diego. San Diego's fantastic.
It's great, and it's nice there year round. But That ideally is where I would go. Carlsbad right there. Yeah. Too many people.
Laguna Beach maybe. There's too many people there too. Yeah. And it's it's pretty good. I'd much rather be in San Diego than LA.
Oh, yeah. 100%. For sure. I don't know who wants to actively move to LA. I'm moving there, peaches.
You're giving it all away. This was supposed to be my seat. Oh. I I got a new radio job. Bye, everybody.
I'm shocked, Victor. You didn't talk about this yesterday on your show. Yeah. I thought about talking about it, but it it just to me, it was a very disturbing story. I thought Because of the way they put it.
You know? Yeah. Yeah. I can only imagine just someone with a Danish accent saying thank you for your donation, and then they just put down your pet and give it to the, the predator at the zoo. Yeah.
Denmark Zoo wants the public to donate their pets so they can feed them to the zoo's predators. And they're like, so if you have any unwanted pets Like guinea pigs, rabbits, and chickens is what they're mostly looking for. Also, if you have a horse, you can also bring that to them. He's yeah. They did say they would accept horses.
And okay. They said they wanted to do it for, like, encouraging, or ensuring natural behavior and blah blah blah. Yeah. They want more natural diet for their big cats. But they euthanize them.
So it's not like I mean, I I don't know, dude. You know I've got cats. So the thought of my poor little kitty Don't worry. Yeah. It's a 100% awful.
I think it's terrible. It's crazy. I thought watching someone feed their snake a live mouse before was one of the worst things I've ever seen. Yeah. I don't wanna see that.
Gives me the heebie jeebies. But Totally. It says the online call for pet donations is accompanied by a picture of a wild cat bearing its teeth with its mouth wide open and a link to the zoo's website. Like, they've gotta be getting a lot of backlash for this. Right?
Yeah. There was a lot of angry reacts and shocked reactions on, Facebook for sure. I'm sure. I don't know how the people of Denmark are, especially in Copenhagen. I thought that Denmark was, like, the happiest place on our boat.
Get the Michael Poulsen of Volebeats on the phone? Yeah. No kidding. What is going on in your country, Michael? What are what is going on with the zoo?
Can Can you imagine if the Idaho Falls Zoo was like, I don't know. Well, that's what I said. I'm like, imagine that. Like, imagine, like, I made that joke yesterday talking about how, like, you know, we accept donations from time to time for the, at the Idaho Falls Farmers Market. And I was gonna tell Jade, like, hey.
Why don't we just donate to the Denmark Zoo? Oh, jeez. People breed their pets. And, like, I've talked to people who have chickens and, you know, they say they're chickens to have a real personality. Like, they're they love their chickens.
Yeah. Animals are cool. You know, like, this is why, you know, anytime somebody just ditches a pet somewhere, you know, they go drop it off somewhere. It makes me so mad. It makes me so angry.
That's disgusting behavior. I would say that's almost worse than doing this. I don't know. Just dumping them somewhere and watching them slowly die because they can't fend for themselves in the wild? That's that is pretty bad.
I I don't know. Please treat your pets well. You know, if you get a pet, that's like having a kid. You gotta take care of it. What's worse?
Getting your giving, like, your pet guinea pig that you know, guinea pigs only live, like, two to four years. It sucks. You know? But what's worse? Giving your guinea pig to this zoo or adopting a dog for, like, three, four years and then returning it to the shelter?
Yeah. Like, I mean, there are situations where people would, you know, for a variety of reasons, be unable to take care of a pet that I could get. But people that just are like, yeah, I don't wanna deal with it anymore. Well, they give pets attached to you. You're its family.
They give the dog to the kids as a Christmas present, and then they go, okay. Well, he's no longer a puppy. He's now a full grown mess. That is Right? Just terrible.
Horrible people like that. I don't know. This day Maybe we should donate those people to that zoo. There we go. What yeah.
Let's donate people. There we go. Wow. Donate the worst of the worst. Everybody Exactly.
I've turned around on this week. Don't donate your unwanted pets. Let's don't donate unwanted people. Wow. So, Victor, you're the massive Stephen King fan, obviously.
Yeah. I'm a pretty big Stephen King fan. This was posted by History Feals, a verified page on Facebook. Not that the verification means anything. No.
You just pay for it. You just yeah. You just look like a sucker. Stephen Keen's wife, Tabitha, threatened to divorce Stephen due to him excessively listening to Lou Begga's song Mambo number five. Okay.
Has this been verified as true? In a 2021 interview, the horror author revealed that his wife Tabitha Kean once threatened to divorce him over his nonstop listening to Lou Bega's 1990 hit, Kean admitted he had the extended version on repeat while working, especially when writing eleven twenty two sixty three. Eventually, Tabitha had enough. She told him one more time, and I'm going to leave you. Well, this appears to be real.
Though it sounds like a quirky anecdote, it reflects the real and often humorous dynamic between two creative people with very different tastes. Married since 1971, the Keynes have supported each other through addiction, fame, and even near death experiences. Tabitha is an accomplished novelist in her own right and has been one of Stephen Keen's, first readers and fiercest critics for decades. Do we have that song in the, system? We do.
Yeah. I haven't heard it in a while. Oh, okay. I think it's on all of it. It's on Cannonball.
It's on Cannonball? Okay. It's a classic hit from 1999. Alright. You just gotta hear the whole He's just sitting there writing his time travel look.
Bouncing back and forth. I'm gonna go back in time and save JFK. One, two, three, four, five. Everybody in the car. So come on, let's ride you the Listening to this on loop all day.
Does this part? Just doing the just writing horror scenes. Like, yeah. That's right. And as I continue This is great.
I've been annoying my friends recently with the whole, with that Sing Queen song. Was it Barbie's Got a Gun with No Safety on? That's the whole thing. Just start listening to it on loop. You know?
Get yourself a nice playlist built of nothing but that. I talked about how I antagonize the whole bar with I get knocked down, but I get up again. Somebody there was a whole article. Wait a minute. Was this the guy admits to antagonizing bar?
Yeah. I talked about this this morning. When the boys are back in town? Yeah. That one.
One because that was a real story. Yeah. So I played the boys are back in town, and then I talked about, you know, what it what it would be like if I just played it over and over on K Bear and, gave some tips on you know, if you get to the right bar that has the right kind of jukebox, you can be a real terrorist in the bar. You know? Like, the old school jukeboxes where you just pay for a song and nobody can jump ahead of yours or anything like that.
The bartender can't just shut the song off. Pink Floyd Echoes, man. That that you put that on, like, three times because it's over twenty minutes long. So it's just an hour of, like, slow instrumental Pink Floyd. Somebody did the same thing.
Same thing, like, ten years ago. Is that the one is that the article that re pop that popped back up? I don't know. It just showed up somewhere today. So I was like, alright.
I'll talk about it. There was a Vice article from 2015 for I played The Boys Are Back in Town in a Bar Jukebox, and, yeah, ruined the whole night for a lot of people. And then for some reason, a video from YouTube pops up from Bill Burr's podcast, Bill Burr destroys Thin Lizzy's The Boys Are Back in Town. Oh, I think I've heard that before. Is it Heat?
It's not appropriate for air. Of course not. I wasn't gonna click on it. But it's funny. My favorite thing about that song is that, of course, the first lyric, guess who just got back today?
Well, I wonder. The boys. The boys. The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem is a production of Riverbend Media Group. For more information or to contact the show, visit riverbend media group dot com.
