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 that dreadful s word that is Spotify, their wrapped day. A lot of people, have been waiting for this day for a little while now. Yeah. And it's funny because I don't know why people get excited about this.
They get to show off their music taste. They get to show off their personal preferences. But what everybody gets duped into doing is giving Spotify, just like we're doing right now, endless free advertising. It's a trick. It's a trick by Spotify to get people to advertise Spotify.
Yeah. That's why I didn't share any pictures of mine online. Screw them. They don't pay bans. Dirt bags.
So yeah. I mean, I talked about my list. But as I got thinking about it and was seeing it everywhere Right. Like, every Reddit post It's gonna get worse throughout the day. Yeah.
The days to avoid social media are days like Spotify Wrapped Day, National Girlfriend Day, National Couples Day, National Boyfriend Day. You don't wanna see people happy in a relationship if you're the single one. Right? You don't wanna see the post and look at my significant other. Sometimes you laugh because you're like, oh, that's who you chose?
But no. I'm kidding. Love is love. No. So if you haven't looked at social media yet today, that's pretty much all you're gonna see.
Endless. Look. I'm in the top 0 5% of my favorite band. Right. And the band doesn't care.
They don't make any money off of streaming at all. But the bands will give Spotify free advertising by sharing their look how many people listen to us this year. Everybody's getting duped by this. You know who was in my top five for the podcasts was you. Really?
You're number 3. Alright. Hey. Behind Joe Rogan and The Woody Show. Very nice.
I would prefer be ahead of both of them, but I'll take number 3. That's fine. My top 5 podcasts were, knowledge fight at number 1. I don't know. Let let me pull it up here because I I don't remember.
Shout out to, Jesse Lee from SiriusXM Octane. Super nice dude. He was number 5 on my list because I do like to listen to his interviews, and I do respect how much work this guy puts into, all all these breaking news stories that he puts out there. He puts out his top ten trending tracks. There's a lot of work behind the scenes.
Alright. That's cool. He's he actually messaged me on Instagram saying, dude, thank you so much. Thank you for listening. And I said, as a guy who also works in the broadcast media DJ industry, I appreciate all the hard work you do every single day.
Like I said, keep it up. And then he was like, dude, where where do you DJ at? And I said, k Bear 101, then you heart the message. So Alright. That's the end of that conversation.
We'll wait to kiss his butt a little bit. Peach is very nice. Very nice. I respect those who, you know, work hard in this industry. Yeah.
It most people don't survive this industry. They don't. That's why me and Jade are the old guys. You know? Like, we're not old, but somehow we're the old guys because True.
I mean, most people, they just it you don't make a lot of money. It's stressful. There's tons of work that people don't know about. It it's just not a job for everybody. And most people in your shoes, if they are still in the business, they have the producer, the social media director.
They have a whole bunch of people doing those specific roles for, like, their big time morning show. Yeah. I literally do the jobs of, like, 13, 14 people here. Yeah. You know, by doing all these stuff.
So my podcast, back to that, my top ones were at Knowledge Fight, Last Podcast on the left, Midas Touch, uncovered, and then Behind the blank. Behind the blank. Behind the blank, a word that means, someone who doesn't know what their who one of their parents is or something like that. Well, very nice. Yeah.
I know. I I haven't gotten a single text from my parents yet about the, top song of mine of my, list there. Cut, bleed, repeat from project vengeance. Why don't you give the listeners, pull it up in NextGen a little sample of my top song of the year? Oh, yeah.
Yeah. I thought you were gonna say pull up mine. I'm like, yeah. We can't do that. Yeah.
No. Don't pull up mine. Let's you know, you'll have to delete this little chunk out of the, podcast version of the show, the little clip, but let's give listeners a taste of Victor Wilt's most listened to song of the year. It's not really my most listened to song of the year because I don't really listen to a lot of music on Spotify. Why do we have to remove it from the podcast version if we're just giving a little sample and commentating on it?
Well, it's it's a gray area. I guess if we don't play too long, it'll probably fine, but we might get a copyright flag. It should be okay. But here here's the chorus of Victor's number one most played song from Spotify for 2024. It's true.
Oh, man. It's a banger. It's a banger, man. From Box. I like it.
It's it's it's almost like, do you also have a crush on Dua Lipa, Victor? I don't have a crush on her, but I like her I like her songs. Well, she's a little too young for you too. Yeah. I'm old, dude.
You can't be having a crush on young pop stars. That's That's weird. That's cringey. Yeah. It's cringey.
I'm like, well, that's just disgusting. Imagine being somebody in their sixties. Like, oh, yeah. Look how pretty Dua Lipa is. And then the and, like, top the top 40 radio world, like, that old fogey somewhere saying that type of thing.
Oh, take a look at that. Olivia Rodrigo. Smell good? Yeah. Exactly.
What does Katy Perry smell like? Yeah. You don't wanna be that guy. So, The noon hour of madness and mayhem powered by Jalisco's. Everybody's outraged by, you know, the, quote, unquote, Lincoln Park.
I think Pantera part 2 Mhmm. Sort of flamed that because everybody's like, you did not really see the real Pantera. It's like, well, the OG Pantera fans killed the actual Pantera. Well, one psycho OG fan. But, yeah, I we've talked about this a lot on air, and I kinda go in both directions on this.
I don't really think any of these bands should use their original name. I think they're when you're missing someone like, Dimebag Darrell, Vinnie Paul, you're missing Chester Chester Bennington, They're such a huge part of those bands that it's not really the same. And I do have a hot take on this too because if you're a bass player and you're not really known for your crazy bass playing and somehow that bass player gets replaced, they can keep the name, the same name. Yeah. Unless you were talking like, I don't know.
Primus or typo negative. Red Hot Chili Peppers. Peter Steele's not known for being an, you know, insane bass player. But But he's the vocalist. He's the vocalist.
And, and Even even Rush too. That doesn't count. It's like he's the vocalist too. Yeah. Because you couldn't have Rush without, Geddy Lee.
And I You really can't have it without Neil Peart either. Exactly. But that's that's just a 3 piece band, though. Yeah. It's like any one of those guys being gone.
I mean, Green Day is the only other one where you're like, okay. Who are the other 2? If you're not really familiar with Green Day Yeah. Totally. So there's rumors circulating around or I guess the band has is it official?
It's official. Playing this, like, a benefit show or something? Yeah. It says Soundgarden is reuniting for charity. The other members of of Soundgarden are gonna be joined by the Seattle singer named Shania Shepherd, who is in no related to no no relation to the guy Ben Shepherd in the band.
Yeah. But she is filling the shoes for the late Chris Cornell. But you did say that they're not gonna call themselves Soundgarden. Yeah. They'll do a brief set under the name Nude Dragons.
And I appreciate them doing that because if I was in a band at that level, I understand why they would use, the original name. Because, you know, Pantera, if they came out as something else, they wouldn't be playing, you know, amphitheaters. Lincoln Park wouldn't be playing, like, stadiums if they came out as, I don't know, what whatever kinda name you wanna give them. Well, they I think they saw what happened to Lincoln Park, what happened to the Pantera. They're like, okay.
We can't use the Soundgarden name because I'm we're we're I I would think if I was in their shoes, be like, okay. Chris Cornell's daughters might come after us. You see what what's what's happening with Chester Bennington's son. He's screaming a fit. You know?
Oh, yeah. Yeah. For sure. So I think it's in better taste to not use the original name, but you're not gonna make anywhere near the same kind of money if you get out and, put out new material and tour under some new name. You'd be playing clubs.
You know, you'd be playing small clubs compared to playing stadiums. But at least this band is just doing a Seattle Children's Hospital show Yeah. Raising money for a great cause at the Showbox in Seattle where I believe this network Soundgarden originated. I think so. I think that was where I, saw Devin Townsend.
But I would not be surprised to see this lead to something else. You know, they're coming out doing this one off thing. You know, we we could have. Well, we got together, started working on some new songs, and next thing we know, Soundgarden's back with I don't know. That seems even more blasphemous than Linkin Park with no Chester Bennington.
Well, I think it is with no Chris Cornell. With Linkin Park, Mike Shinoda is the originator. He is the guy who has written all the songs, formed the band, everything. Yeah. Chester just did those great vocals that he did.
Yeah. I know. There's no 2 vocalist combo in Soundgarden. It was just Chris Cornell with his eloquent vocals, but he sadly, you know, passed away, so now they have no lead singer. Yeah.
And he, you know, wrote a good portion of the material. I mean, he's, like, the most integral part of Soundgarden. But people who are mad about the whole Pantera theme versus those that are just excited to see that music performed, most people, I would think, for, like, you know, most generic people that aren't necessarily into metal like we are is are not gonna care about the guitarist Yeah. At all. See, maybe I'd feel different if I hadn't seen Pantera multiple times back in the day.
And I would still go see the new Pantera because the songs are good. I saw Phil Anselmo, with Super Joint Ritual do Pantera songs at, you know, small club, and it was awesome. I also think if you were to get rid of Angus Young or if he passed away and ACDC still tried to perform, That would be a huge loss for a lot of people, but there would still be a ton that would say, oh, I wouldn't saw ACDC Yeah. Without Angus and without all these other Malcolm Young's no longer in there. Yeah.
Yeah. It's so that's why I say I go both ways. Like, I get it. I like that there's an opportunity for people to hear these songs live, but, it also, you know, does kinda leave a bad taste in my mouth when they use the original name. But I you know, what would you do in their shoes?
I'd probably take the money. Well, look at Sublime with Rome. Look at Jeff Lynn's ELO and not the actual ELO. Yeah. Yeah.
Van Halen was still predominantly Van Halen because there was Alex Van Halen, Eddie Van Halen in the band. Yeah. And that made sense. You know? So I don't know.
I I guess I'd have to just hear it, I suppose. You know? I think that, what Linkin Park put out is, you know, good quality music. You know? Sure.
I'm I'm fine with it. It's good quality stuff that they would have put out with Chester. Yeah. She's not replicating Chester in any way, shape, or form. People are accusing her of that.
That's the way that she sings. Yeah. Yeah. She has that grovely, deeper woman's voice. Yeah.
You can go listen to dead Sarah. She sounds that way in that band. Yeah. So They just chose her because she sounded great and Yeah. They they clicked, and that's, you know, what you need.
It's somebody who fits. Right. So it'll be interesting to see video of this, woman singing for Soundgarden. I I don't know what to expect. I'm not familiar with her.
The only thing I don't like is the band name. New Dragons is just not that appealing compared to Soundgarden. Well, yeah. Soundgarden's a great band. I was I was very disappointed in what Howard and Adam came up with for the new What are they calling their band?
Burnt something. It was like burnt to remain or let me see. I saw an article about it, but the name didn't stick with me. Yeah. It was something that, like, some 8th grader would come up with.
Bern eternal. Bern eternal. Yeah. That one that's gonna be hard to That's a great song name. Yeah.
But for, like, a band, you gotta think of something like Metallico's so unique. ACDC is just funny because they looked at an electrical outlet, and we're like, oh, yeah. Sure. There we go. That's us.
Then there's the Beatles, which is, you know, funny. The Beatles is, like, the best band name that I've ever seen. Right. Because it's, you know, it's got multiple levels going on and, it made a great logo too. You know, that Beatles logo, the classic one on the front of the drums, but whoever came up with that because there were a lot of bands around before The Beatles, like the Crickets and, you know, all these bugs and The band.
The band. So you got the Beatles, but with an a Yeah. Because the musical beat. I mean, it's just a great band name. Victor, I saw a, post from the one, the only big j at 100.3bx in, Boise.
Okay. And he was this is what he said on Facebook. Absolutely bewildered and even a bit depressed that rock and metal tour after tour getting announced is not stopping in the Treasure Valley. I saw this. This is funny because, Big Jay, why don't you come spend some time over here, buddy?
You know? Nobody wants to see somebody in a city that gets lots of shows whining about how they don't get shows. You know? Go on. Settle down, big j.
And he even said lots of factors, but man, having all of the all of these shows in October is not fun. I can I get that, you know, because we go out to events and, hang out with the crowd, maybe do some stage time? And when you have a lot of shows in a short period of time, it's kind of overwhelming. It it is, but I'm also thinking, like, this guy's never been through the whole Salt Lake City travel to to 3 hours to a show, then 3 hours back that night. Yeah.
That's what East Idaho has dealt with our entire lives. Right. That's why, you know, when we talk to record labels and stuff, and they're like, oh, you wanna give away tickets to a show in Salt Lake? Or you wanna give away tickets to a show in Boise? Why?
Like, because It's not coming here. Yeah. People here are used to driving to those cities to go see shows. Yeah. We pack a lot of seats in Boise and Salt Lake.
People from around here go to Salt Lake City sometimes to go to Trader Joe's or go to get things that we don't have here and then come back. Totally. Hey. There's some skeleton walking down the hall. Sorry.
I was a little scared. You know, we were talking about ghosts earlier. Okay. Jade walks by and that'll get distracted. What do you have to build for the ghost of Jade to show up?
Or maybe you don't. Don't build anything. Do your job. Right. It was a scary clickety clackety skeleton.
Anyway, going back to the whole big j post I did see he was commenting more on about it. And it's like, dude, your guys' station attaches their name to every show. You you you don't even bother. I was asking Big Jay for the last show, the Wage War Show. I'm like, hey.
You're gonna be here. I'd love to meet you in person. I don't feel like it. It's like, I I understand. But at the same time, like, if there's a show, I would take advantage of everything.
If I was over there in Boise, I'd be a show in town. You know? Like, I felt bad I didn't do the, hour drive to Pokey on the weekend to see, Mosh for Santa. I asked you if you were gonna go, and you said, no. I'm too beat.
I and I was. I was beat. And I was thinking about going myself, but I don't really mosh. Don't really I just wanted to watch the bands, and that whole room when it was gonna be swinging their arms in the air. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. I saw some video, and, there were definitely people moshing. I didn't wanna have, you know, Peaches from Kay Bear punch some guy. You know, that type of thing pop up. But, I mean, I've even popped into shows I don't wanna see here, like, you know, country acts at the arena, and I'm like, alright.
What's this all about? Okay. I've heard enough big and rich for my entire life. Let's go. Time to leave.
I'll go to Cody Jinx. I'm gonna go to Cody Jinx. We saw him perform live. That was fun. He's got that guy Tanner Oozery, I think, is how you say his name opening.
He's really good too. So they also announced, for you country fans, Jon Pardee today. I would much rather see Cody Jinx Me too. Than Jon Pardee. Even though Jon Pardee is a fellow tall king, we gotta Oh, is he?
He's about 67. Jeez. Yeah. He's a big dude. He's a monster.
Kinda cowboy hat he wear. Right. Does he have a giant head like you 2, peaches? Probably not. You should get yourself a cowboy hat.
I bet if there's a hat that'll fit you, it would be a cowboy hat. No. There's not. You know how expensive that would be? Pretty pricey.
I feel like I would get some cowboys yelling. Don't appropriate my culture or something like that if I'm wearing a cowboy hat. It's like wearing a band T shirt of a band that I don't even listen to. Name 3 songs. It's like name 3 rodeos there, Brendan.
Yeah. I've got a photo of me on a horse wearing a Pink Floyd tie dyed t shirt wearing a cowboy hat. We gotta see that sometime. No. I'll find it.
I'll find it. I feel like Katie would get mad if I walk around here with a cowboy hat on. Well, you know, I think that kind of thing is sorta in because that Yellowstone show got very popular. Right. I've seen a lot of people dressing like cowboys that didn't in the past.
So Yeah. And there's a lot of people who are just into the country music who are from big cities that, for some reason, are now dressing up like a cowboy because they moved here. And it's like I understand, Katie's a full on, like, farm girl. She's a real cowgirl. Yeah.
She wrangles up cattle and a lot of stuff. Exactly. I would never do some wear something like that if I don't actually embrace that lifestyle. That's why you see me wearing, like, Harbor Surfboard Company T shirts and stuff. Embracing that California lifestyle.
That's right. I should drive a Volkswagen bus. Peach from the beach. Peach from Seal Beach. That's right.
Represent. Wrapping up the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem powered by Jalisco's with a little bit of, cue the outrage for some people. People are mad. I I I was wondering why this photo of Chris Daughtry was going making the rounds. I thought he was naked in the photo.
Okay. And I thought he was wearing body paint, But, no, apparently, he blacked out his entire arms, like, both of his arms completely. And you know how Johnny Hawkins puts on that paint on himself when he's shirtless on stage? It kinda looks like that on Chris. But But it's a tattoo?
It's an actual blackout actual blackout sleeves he got on both arms. Okay. Why are people mad about it? Because they're saying, like, oh, it looks bad. Why would you do something like this?
This is stupid. It's his body. Shut up and let him decorate it however he is. Honestly think it is stupid. I think any blackout tattoo is stupid, but it's not my thing.
I mean, if if I'm getting a tattoo, I want something that's, you know, crazy looking, something weird. Look at Ronnie Radke without a shirt on. Have you ever seen those videos of him on the beach with the the the actual, like, inked t shirt he wears because he's blacked out all on the top? It looks stupid. It looks like the stupidest thing on the planet.
Yeah. I I but if that's what you're into, I mean, whatever. It's it's your body. I I wouldn't attack anyone's tattoo online. I see a lot of stupid tattoos.
I'm like, man, those are that is a dumb tattoo, but I wouldn't comment it. Yeah. Yeah. Right. It was just local random people.
That's a stupid tattoo. When someone posts their baby, you're like, man, that kid's ugly. Yeah. You're not gonna you know, most people have a little bit of self control, and you're not gonna go ew or something, please. Somebody posting their newborn.
It just might. You know? If if it's really that bad, sure. Dude, there was one time I saw somebody post a picture of, like, their their girlfriend or something. Oh, no.
And somebody said them I don't remember what they said, but they said something so mean in the comments about her appearance. I could not believe it. Bro married his third act or something like that? It was it was it wasn't even funny. It was, you know, there was no joke to it.
It was just a brutal, rude statement. I was like, oh, what kind of person does that? I think I've seen she's gonna look at the post. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. And then you see And now you just ruined your your friendship with with him too. It's like the people who would put the laugh react on, you know, news articles when people died from COVID. Oh, please. You know?
It's like that's somebody's family member. Jeez. What is wrong with you? I don't put laugh reacts on everything. Like, like, I have a Duck Donuts, advertisement popping up here with 21 reacts.
Yep. Yep. There's 1 guy laugh reacting to the peppermint mocha iced latte. What's so funny about that? Again.
It's there I don't get what the laugh react would be for that. I I do love seeing those people on Facebook that are, you know, a little bit older. They don't really know how to use it. I don't know how my ex's mom did this, but they told me this story about how, like, one of her friend's sons died in a tragic accident or something like that. So Hilarious features that's so funny.
Well, what the ex's mom did is she accidentally put her Bitmoji, her little avatar character, on a stripper pole, and it said, I don't care as a as a comment to that post. Yeah. I've seen some great, great awkward posts from old people who didn't know what they were doing. Right. Isn't there a whole subreddit dedicated to just old people being dumb online?
Boomers being fools. Boomers being fools. That's what it's called. Fools. I feel like r slash ate the onion is one of them.
Oh, and, leopards ate my face. That's another one. Seen leopards ate my face? No. It's a phrase for, like, you you'll see things in there where a politician comes out and does something, like, exactly like what they said they're gonna do.
And then people are like, I can't believe this is happening. You know? And it's like, well, you voted for them. They said they were gonna do this. Where's that one that my friend Dan was telling me about last night?
Untrustworthy Pop Tarts. I haven't seen that one. That's a fun one because oh, no. That one's a that's the different one. That's a different one compared to what I was, trying to find here.
There's one that was dedicated to people thanking those with awful usernames. Oh, okay. Just real bad usernames. I can even repeat most of them. Yeah.
Untrustworthy Pop Tarts is talking about how, like, there are these weird things like, hey. I bought this pack carton of ice cream, and there's a frog in here or something like that. It's a typical, like, how did that get in there? Alright. This got this post from yesterday.
Husband bought a package of gummies from our local, dispensary. Okay. Got an entire package of silica packets instead. You go Jeez. And you go The the little things that they put in Yeah.
You know, just like beef jerky packs and stuff. Yeah. There was one post I was really looking forward to a creamsicle cocktail. Darn it. And it's a pack of sun kissed, like, one of those 12 packs.
Uh-huh. But inside was Canada Dry. Like, all of Canada Dry cans. And you're wondering, how did that get in there? Alright.
I'll to check out that subreddit. It's a fun one. There there now needs to be one for old people getting fooled by AI, like terrible AI creations. I'm sure there's already one out there. Boomers being fools covers some of that stuff Good.
For sure. Now I feel bad for some of them because I know most of the older audience, they get upset, you know, when we talk about them in this way. We love our Kay Bear boomers. Alright, everybody? There's a bunch of Kay Bear boomers that are downright awesome.
I'm glad they're trying to keep up with what's active in rock and move. And we have the smartest audience in east Idaho. So we're not anytime we talk about boomers, we're talking about different boomers. Exactly. We're not talking about you guys.
You're you're the best. If you're hanging with Kay Bear, we we love you. Now if you know one of those boomers that's listening to, like, a competitor station, that's when you're like, okay. Yeah. Then we're like, oh, kind of, you know, a regular old boomer.
