[upbeat music] The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast.
It's the Monday edition of the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. Yay.
Woo-hoo.
Hi, Peaches. What's up?
Um, was your weekend filled with just Jim Carrey news?
Uh, no, but my Facebook feed has been today, 'cause apparently there's somebody claiming to be an imposter.
Uh, no, Jim Carrey apparently was killed by the Illuminati-
Okay. [laughs]
... and this is a clone.
Okay, I missed that.
I'm not even kidding.
I thought that, like, somebody dressed up as him at some kind of event.
Well, so I don't know what event happened. I, I really don't. I think it was the, uh, it was some sort of Academy Awa- Award show, something like that.
Some kind of thing like that.
But Jim Carrey, he had different colored eyes. His face looked completely different. His hair was way long, and his mannerisms, everything, were off from the original Jim Carrey. And I, I'm sure you're well aware, the, uh, the OG or- uh, Jim Carrey do- does, does not really care for the spotlight all that much.
Yeah.
I mean, he's do- he's done his thing. He's sort of, like, retired. He, uh, this, this clip of him on the Jimmy Kimmel show kept popping up of him doing the Illuminati signal with his hands and his tongue sticking out.
[laughs]
And he's, and he's like, "Come on, Jimmy, you know what I'm talking about. You're a part of it. I'm a part of it. David Letterman's a part of it."
[laughs]
And then all of a sudden, you know, this, uh, that, that guy disappears. This new version comes out into the spotlight, and I mean, there's a makeup artist. You know this, this one person, I don't even know if, uh, if it ... It's a, it's a guy, I think, and his name's Alexis.
Yeah, I saw.
Uh.
That was the article I saw, was about him claiming that he dressed up as Jim Carrey.
Yeah.
Well, people are calling BS on that. But then Consequence just posted, confirmed by TMZ as well, that Jim Carrey's publicist said, yes, that was the original Jim Carrey. It's not a guy dressed up as Jim Carrey. That is him. He showed up to the, the award ceremony. He was accompanied by, uh, friends and family at the, uh, [laughs] at the, the ceremony, too.
So he probably just had some, uh ... He, either it's been a while since we've seen him, or he had some plastic surgery.
But so many people have gone ballistic about this. Not just Jim Carrey. It's more so with Jim Carrey, but it's happened in the past with Jamie Foxx, how he technically died. Um, uh, who else is there? S- Simon Cowell, how he looks way different.
Uh, he l- he looks like a mess.
Well, he had a giant accident that happened to him that nearly killed him.
Oh, did he?
Yeah. [laughs]
Oh. I thought he just had a bad plastic surgery job.
No, he had, like, his broken spine, broken face, a whole bunch of stuff.
Oh, okay. All right, all right, I shouldn't be mean then.
Um, they were trying to say Shaq at one point was cloned, which-
Shaq?
I mean, that's a big guy to clone. Uh, there's been tons of people they've, th- suspected of being cloned.
Hmm.
Like, uh, Avril Lavigne, which by the way, um, I do have here a giant list of wild conspiracy theories haunting pop icons.
Oh. Well, maybe we should save that for the next break.
I think we should.
I think we should, too. I mean, you go back even to the, uh, the '60s, people thought Paul McCartney died in a car accident and was replaced by a lookalike. The Paul Is Dead.
Yeah.
Yeah, you can go down a deep YouTube rabbit hole on that.
Absolutely.
Yeah. And, and that's kind of a fun one, too. And then the Beatles rolled with it. They started putting weird messages in their songs and-
Well, I thought it was a prank by a college radio station that-
I think it was
... Paul McCartney was shot and killed or something like... Not shot and killed, but he just died.
That he died in a car accident.
Died in a car a- yeah, yeah.
And then after that, The Beatles just seemed to kinda roll with it.
I mean, I would too.
Yeah, you might as well have some fun, you know? Keep, keep the conspiracy going. Keep people talking. If you can keep people talking about you, they're gonna stay interested, so.
Well, I think more people nowadays are just so crazy. I mean, they're-
[laughs] Well, yeah.
I mean ... [laughs]
[laughs] That's for sure. Or else we're just seeing more of it 'cause of the internet. I don't know. People are nuts, though.
Uh, more people have access to the internet now, which is not good.
Yeah, I don't think it's really great. [laughs] I don't think it's really great. I thought the internet was gonna change the world in a good way as it, uh, became a new thing-
No
... when I was younger. It, it has not.
Post-2020, everything's a conspiracy theory.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
They're trying to take us over. The, everything.
Dude, yeah. Uh, Facebook was a, just dumpster fire all weekend. All weekend. So yeah. Well, we'll dig into more conspiracy theories here in a minute with, uh, pop stars. I'm excited to see what you got, Peaches. [upbeat music] This is the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. I'm Victor.
Certainly madness. I am Peaches.
[laughs]
Uh, Selena Gomez, she was one of the latest, uh, pop stars to be, um, uh, what's, what's it called? Uh, pointed at, to be called out for, quote, "being a clone." She supposedly died during that kidney transplant, and she's been replaced by this, quote-unquote, "fatter model." [laughs]
Oh, geez. She put on some weight.
It's not what I'm saying.
It's not her.
It's what the internet's saying.
[laughs]
I think she looks amazing.
[laughs] Oh, my gosh. Geez. Benny Blanco defends personal hygiene after fans begged Selena-
Yeah
... Gomez to divorce, divorce him over dirty feet.
Did you see that, those clips of him with those dirty feet on the couch?
[laughs] No.
They're, they're black on the bottom.
All right, let me, let me see if they post a picture in the article. His feet are filthy. [laughs]
You would've hated that. [laughs]
Ah, yeah, I don't like it. Get your feet off the couch, bro. Go wash your feet. [laughs]
He, he's a multimillionaire. I think he's doing just fine.
No, it just goes to show anybody can get, get themselves a lady. [laughs]
Oh, yeah, if you have money.
[laughs] If you have money.
[laughs]
Uh, what are, what are some of the other, uh, celebrity pop star conspiracy theories you've got over there?
So as I mentioned, uh, Avril Lavigne supposedly died back in 2003, was replaced by Melissa.
Nice Melissa.
Not the one down the hall.
[laughs]
But the one ... [laughs] Uh, yeah, it says, "One of the most infamous music conspiracies claims Avril Lavigne died years ago and a lookalike named Melissa took her place."
Okay. I mean ... And do these all just go back to these artists are so big and popular, the music industry needs them to keep making money, so that's why they clone them, just to keep the-Keep the money train rolling in
I, maybe they, uh, were about to leak the secrets of the Illuminati, so they just-
Mm
... killed them right then and there.
Yeah, apparently Avril Lavigne laughs off false rumor.
Or they made it look like an accident.
[laughs] There's a lot of articles about Avril Lavigne, uh, being cloned.
There's a whole thing about how Kobe Bryant was supposed to testify against a giant pharmaceutical company, and that's magically right as he passed. Right after that, he just passed away from the helicopter crash.
Hmm. Hmm.
Hmm.
That seems suspicious.
Uh, Katy Perry. A conspiracy theory against her is actually JonBenét Ramsey grown up.
What? [laughs] Okay, I think I've heard that one before. [laughs]
[laughs] She's just the, uh, grown-up version of the tragic child pageant star JonBenét Ramsey-
Okay
... who died back when I was born.
Sounds legit.
Uh, I don't know about this one. I don't even know who Solange even is. Maybe you do.
Solange? Who-
Beyonce is actually Solange's mother, not sister.
Okay. Um,
I haven't heard that one. And is that S-O-L-A-N-G-E?
Yes.
I don't know how to say it properly either, but-
Yeah, I'm ju- I'm assuming that's how you do so, but I don't really care for Beyonce, and that's why I'm like, "Who's Solange?" I-
I, I'm not super deep into my, uh, you know, pop world knowledge. I, eh, a little bit, but-
This one I feel like is actually true.
Okay.
Stevie Wonder's just messing with us.
Oh. [laughs]
I think he's not actually blind.
[laughs]
He caught a mic stand on stage.
[laughs]
Uh, Shaq has said he got recognized by Stevie Wonder in an elevator.
Well, maybe you can just sense when there's a monster next to you. [laughs] You know? Like, when Peaches is walking by, I'm like, "Oh, that's Peaches."
Well, there's also, um, how he's been able to avoid stage equipment with his eyes.
Hmm.
Unless he's like-
I w- I j-
... Daredevil, I don't think he can ... [laughs] I mean-
I bet they set his stage up the, like, the same every time so he knows where everything is.
I should ask ... Oh, that'd be really bad if it was just al- all of a sudden altered every show and they watch him, they just send him out there, he doesn't know where he's going, falls off the stage. [laughs]
Yeah, that'd be messed up. It-
[laughs]
They've gotta have some kind of cues there for him to be able to make his way around the stage.
We should have Pete from Cannonball pitch in on this whole thing.
Yeah. Pete, what do you think?
See if what he knows.
What do you think about Stevie Wonder and his lies?
His-
[laughs]
This one, this one made me laugh so hard. Lorde, you know, the pop star-
[laughs]
... apparently is a 45-year-old woman posing as Gen Z.
[laughs] Okay.
If you look at a picture of her, she does look way older. [laughs]
[laughs] I thought that she was Randy Marsh from South Park.
Oh, that's true.
[laughs] That, that was the one I heard.
Some theorists claim the singer Lorde is much older than she appears, a masquerading as a teenager to appeal to a younger audience.
[laughs] Could be true. [laughs]
This one's pretty scary, Victor. I hope you're ready for this one.
Oh, scary.
Taylor Swift is a clone of a Satanic high priestess.
Okay. [laughs]
Fans have concocted th- uh, theories linking Taylor Swift to secret cults-
Okay
... claiming she is a clone of a Satanic high priestess. Well, I can guarantee you right now somebody listening to us who's, like, a mad person, who's, like, obsessed with these crazy conspiracy theories-
[laughs]
... believes this one is true.
Oh, yeah. Just listen to her music backwards, man. [laughs] You'll hear all kinds of evil stuff.
Just like Led Zeppelin.
Yeah.
Uh-
She's scary.
What about Sam Smith and Adele being the same person? You've n- you've never seen them in the room together.
They do look ... No, they look completely different. [laughs]
I, I've seen Sam Smith in real life. He looks nothing like Adele.
[laughs]
He's a very quiet, humble dude.
[laughs]
But at the same time, like, you- nobody's ever seen them. Google search Sam Smith and Adele. Let me see if this is true.
All right.
I didn't look this up myself. I should have.
Yeah, that's true. Sam Smith with Adele. Let's see if we can find a, a picture. Um, mm, not seeing them stand... Wait, wait, is that them singing together? I think that's them singing toget- I can't tell if it's two photos put together. There's a photo of them together. Yeah. They have been seen in the same place at the same time. I- it could be AI, Peaches. Could be AI. They're the same.
I, I have five more if you wanna do this in the next break.
Sure. [upbeat music] It's the noon hour of madness and mayhem with five more celebrity pop conspiracy theories from Peaches.
I do like this one. Harry Styles supposedly is bald and wears a toupee.
[laughs]
The theorists suggest Harry Styles hides hair loss under stylish wigs despite his public image.
Let's see. Harry Styles bald.
Okay. We do have a, a lot of people [laughs] are asking about this. [laughs]
Now, my, my answer-
So
... or the th- the way that we should find out about this is we get Katie to interview him in studio.
In studio.
And then we run in-
And just grab his hair
... and just hold him down, grab him by the hair, and rip it off.
[laughs] Oh, I'm, I'm sure that wouldn't get us thrown in jail. That'd be fine.
I'm sure security officers wouldn't beat the crap out of us.
Yeah, no. No. [laughs] Not at all.
Especially when we both come running in.
[laughs] Oh. Should we go post him in the, uh, r/bald and Is It Time? [laughs] Just, just to see. [laughs]
Uh, Louis Tomlinson. Tomlinson? Is that how you say his name?
I, I-
From, uh, One Direction as well.
Oh, okay.
His baby was fake, parentheses dollgate.
[laughs] Dude.
The dollgate theory claims Louis Tomlinson's child is a prop, fueling online speculation-
[laughs]
... among obsessive fans. Now, here's the thing.
[laughs]
You should go on Facebook right now to anybody who just had a newborn and just put fake in all capital letters-
Fake
... in the comment section.
That's AI.
A giant sloth.
That's a doll.
That's-
That's just a doll. [laughs]
[laughs]
Wow, that's one ugly doll.
AI, AI sloth. [laughs] Oh my God.
[laughs]
That, that, that might upset a parent or two.
Yeah.
That'd be very funny. [laughs]
[laughs]
I dare you to do it. [laughs]
[laughs] I don't really, I don't really know many people who are just having kids, so.
I'm trying to think. I, I've been seeing people, a few people pop up with babies on my Facebook page.
Oh, my, my friend Zach, uh, his, his kid is due in June. Right a- right on ... [laughs]
[laughs]
It's, it's due on 6/7. You know, it's due on-
Oh
... due on June 7th. [laughs]
Whoa, 6/7. [laughs]
And so I'm gonna, I'm gonna comment AI sloth right as it's born.
[laughs]
Uh, Drake supposedly, I don't know if you know about the rapper XXXTentacion. Is that how you s-
I remember him, yeah.
Uh, supposedly Drake killed him. [laughs]
Oh, it was Drake who did it?
A-
Okay
... fringe theory interprets Drake's lyrics as confessions claiming he had a hand in XXXTentacion's death.
Yeah, 'cause he, didn't he get ... I mean, he got shot, right?
Yeah.
Yeah. I remember he was blowing up real big and then, well, career over at, like, 20. Man, that would suck.
Uh, supposedly Michael Jackson underwent some, uh, different, uh, chemical alterations, I'm gonna say it like that.
Oh. [laughs]
I'm gonna put it as that-
Okay
... to maintain his signature high-pitched singing voice.
[laughs] I think I've heard that one before.
Oh, there's been many, many worse conspiracy theories about Michael Jackson.
[laughs] Yeah, we can-
We can avoid those altogether.
That, that's fine. That's fine.
Uh, and then Justin Bieber,
shape-shifting reptilian.
Okay, now, th- I mean, I thought everybody knew that.
That one's the most popular one.
I mean, that's clearly true, I mean, without question.
Maybe he's both.
[laughs] Maybe. Wait, have you ever seen a reptilian with hair?
Maybe, uh ... Have you seen how, like, his, uh, wife Hailey is a Hailey Baldwin?
I think so.
Now she's Hailey Bieber.
Yeah.
Supposedly she was following him around for all those years to try to have a chance with him, 'cause if you look at pictures from years past, she's right there-
Really?
... in every single one, like an obsessed fan.
Hmm. And then he finally was like, "All right."
Yeah, but I wouldn't want to-
"Geez, we'll go on a date already."
I wouldn't want to marry into Alec Baldwin's family. I hate that dude.
The Baldwins, man. Yeah, I don't, I don't know if I'd ...
Seems like such a jerk.
Yeah.
Remember the one voicemail he left his wife? Was it his wife or was it the daughter?
[laughs] I, I don't remember, but I vaguely recall this happening. [laughs]
[laughs] I think Howard Stern made fun of that thing for many, many days.
[laughs] [upbeat music] You got more conspiracy theories?
Yes. Supposedly, number one here from Cosmopolitan, Beyoncé faked her pregnancy.
Oh, how dare she?
So now if you see somebody online with a baby bump, just say, "Hey, get that beach ball out of there."
[laughs] It is ... "We know that's not real, AI slob."
Yeah.
[laughs]
Uh, Michael Jackson and his sister LaToya are the same person.
Oh, well, that makes total sense to me, Peaches. You know, when while you're reading these conspiracy theories, um, I don't know if you've seen these videos I keep sharing in the Kbear group of this guy making disgusting food. Currently the one that popped up on my feed is make your own hot dogs, and he takes a can of SPAM, puts it in a blender, [laughs] and then wraps the hot dogs, [laughs] the hot dog shaped SPAM, in plastic and boils it up and then ... It, it looks so gross. But anyway, back to your conspiracy theories. [laughs]
[laughs] Um, this one I th- I think was just, uh, confirmed as true.
Uh, what now?
Well, not, not the specific person, but, you know, Kurt Cobain, that case was ruled as homicide.
Oh, I did see that, uh, there was some cop or somebody saying that he believes that it was a homicide.
And th- this one right here, this, this conspiracy theory, Courtney Love killed Kurt Cobain.
I've heard that one since, uh, way back in the day.
Right.
That was a, that was a big one way back in the day.
This one I fully believe, all right? You can't just have that one sister that's all of a sudden a freak. Uh, Khloé Kardashian is OJ Simpson's daughter.
See, I don't know enough about the family line, but I remember hearing that.
There's Kim and Kourtney who are, like, 5'1", 5'0"-
Mm-hmm
... and then Khloé is, like, the f- 6'0" tall.
Hmm.
Looks different with, b- before the whole plastic surgery.
Okay. I, I mean, it could be. You never know.
Elvis Presley's supposedly still alive. That, that's a classic one.
Oh, yeah, Jim Morrison's still alive. Tupac.
Tupac's still alive.
You know, he's still alive.
Marilyn Monroe was murdered.
I've, I have heard that one. I have heard that one.
Jim Morrison was murdered. The FBI killed Biggie and Tupac. There's that one.
Mm-hmm. I've heard those.
Prince Harry isn't Prince Charles' son. I mean, who cares about the royal family anyway?
Yeah, the royal family sucks.
Uh, J.K. Rowling isn't real.
[laughs] Up ... Okay. [laughs]
J.K. Rowling's origin story is well-known. She was a financially struggling single mother who came up with the idea for Harry Potter on a train, then wrote the first book in cafes. She's now one of the richest authors in the world. According to this theory, none of that is true. Harry Potter was ma- actually masterminded by a team of advertisers and writers who lab created a franchise that would appeal to the entire world, and the woman you think is J.K. Rowling is just an actress hired to play the part of the author at events.
Huh?
Why that actress has gone on to write books that aren't part of the Harry Potter franchise is a mystery to be solved another day. [laughs]
[laughs]
Oh, my God. [laughs]
All right. You must have something pretty good over there.
Stephen King killed John Lennon. [laughs]
Okay. Dude, I've heard ... There's ... Okay, let me see if I can find the website 'cause I've, I've delved deep into this one. Stephen King killed John Lennon. There's a guy who had a website about this.
I have never heard of this before in my life. [laughs]
You've never heard about this?
No.
Okay, lennonmurdertruth.com. Um, this guy wrote a book about it, and I believe he drives around New York City in a car that's just plastered with, like, uh, stickers and things like that, uh, trying to encourage people to read his book. [laughs]
See, this one here says-
It's a guy named Steve Lightfoot.
This one ... Yeah, this one says, "Author Stephen King, not Mark David Chapman, pulled the trigger, killed John Lennon on December 8th, 1980. In 2009, one Steven, one Steve Lightfoot made this very claim after interrupting a meeting of the Sarasota City Commission in Florida. Lightfoot claims Nixon and Reagan wanted Lennon and his anti-war message out of the US and that King posed as Chapman to murder Lennon."
[laughs]
"Sure, the two look sort of similar, but that's about it. Lightfoot has an entire website dedicated to this theory, along with more information, if the price is right."
Yeah, that's, uh, lennonmurdertruth.com.
Is Steve Lightfoot still alive?
Um, I mean, his website's up.
We gotta interview him.
I pulled it up here.
You, you, you gotta interview him-
Oh, geez. [laughs]
... for sure. I want you to dive deep on this one. Be like the last podcast on the left, you know, and just-
I mean, 'cause-
... go all out
... people saw Mark David Chapman shoot John Lennon. He did it in the street, right? He did it in public. So [laughs] I don't know. I guess maybe I need to read through, uh, lennonmurdertruth.com to find out about ... E- Evil Stephen King. Hmm. Yeah, it's got, uh, sections on here, the killer's face and true identity, the killer's alleged name in letter, government codes, Stephen King's writings, Stephen King's letters to me. So Steve Lightfoot claims Stephen King wrote him letters. [laughs] And then, uh, all, all kinds of other stuff. Uh, this website's ridiculous, and it's kinda put together, uh, like comic book style, so yeah, you should check it out, Peaches, next time you're really bored. [laughs]
