[announcer voice] The Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast.
Peaches!
Yeah!
We out here!
Yeah!
Woo!
All right!
I looked like a creep at the Mountain America center just now.
Did you?
I'm the only car in the parking lot and I'm standing there behind my car with a guitar.
[laughs]
My back hurts so, like I can't really stand straight, so I'm all hunched over behind the car, like peeking over.
[laughs]
Peeking with Peaches, watching the guys, you know, get ready for the show tonight.
[laughing] Ah, been a busy morning already.
We've had some weird names with these, uh, staff members here.
Um, yeah. [laughs] I, we're not gonna share 'em.
One of them, yeah, one of them was pretty funny and I was like, "Uh, the so-and-so and Peaches connection," and we're making all these jokes on the other side of the building.
[laughs] Uh, so how'd your interview with, uh, the Funeral Portrait go?
It went well. Um, I can tell the band, uh, just woke up. Um, Lee was kind of, I don't know, I could tell ... Uh, they've been on the road for almost 290 days.
Geez.
Like, they've done so much touring this year that-
Wow.
Yeah. They're gonna go to Europe too. I mean, these guys are working hard.
Well, good for them.
So, I'm, I'm hoping that most people will, uh, see those guys tonight. I know there's been a lot of people unfortunately that I've talked to that have said, "Oh, I'm, I'm excited for Dayseeker." And I'm really worried that everyone's gonna leave, and In This Moment's gonna come on stage and they're gonna be ... It's gonna be me and you out there, but yay.
Nah, it'll, it'll be good. And if you leave before In This Moment, you're a fool.
Right.
They put on a great show, and they're, they're way heavy. Like, uh, they're way heavy live.
Mariah's fun too.
Yeah.
She's a nice lady.
Super nice. Um, you know that interview I did with her and, uh-
Chris?
Chris.
Yeah.
They were fantastic. You know, super nice, super grateful to all the fans, and, you know, "Come dressed up tonight," is what they told me in that interview.
I, I saw some lady, not some lady, some dude in the
group, Kerry was posting about how there's a costume contest tonight.
That's what I was told by Maria.
A- and I'm like, "What costume contest?" 'Cause he posted, "Hey, Victor and Peaches, any word on this costume contest?" And I have no clue.
Let's, uh, look up some information here with the old Google. In This Moment costume contest, and see if anybody's posted anything. Uh, let's see. "Join the Black Mask Tour," Black Mass Tour, "for a spooky Halloween costume, uh, contest." Let's see here. "Your chance to win a Halloween prize package and score a photo on stage with Maria Brink when it ..." Okay. It says, "Plan your look." I, I don't quite grasp what you're supposed to do.
I'll dress up as Howard Stern tonight and go, "Hey, now," e- e- every five minutes.
[laughs] Yeah, I don't know. Let's see. Dress up contest at Maria's show. Let's go to her Facebook page.
She's encouraging everyone to dress up for the shows. Okay, this is her official fans page. Uh-
Don't you hate that? I- I ... Drives me nuts.
So I guess it says she brings you on stage and the crowd judges, and the winner gets to, uh ... This is according to a fan page, everybody.
Interesting.
Okay?
Yeah, I would-
According to a fan page. [laughs]
I, I would not repeat this, Victor. [laughing] I feel like-
I'm gonna throw it out there.
W- we're gonna have someone in, like, a giant Wheaties box costume try to jump on stage.
[laughs]
They get mauled by security.
Yeah. Let's see. "Keep an eye on her socials to know what time and booth to be at for your show if dressing up." Okay. Maria Brink, uh, Instagram.
Victor, just show up naked and say you're a streaker.
[laughs]
Just run, run across the-
That'll go, that'll go great.
[laughs]
I'm gonna show up wearing no pants.
"See security? There's nothing in my pockets."
All right, let's see. There's ... She's slinging some merch.
Whoa.
Uh ...
Yeah?
I don't know.
You having fun over here?
I'm not seeing
anything specific. [laughs]
You know what? Just dress up the way you wanna dress up.
Yeah, and like, "No guarantees on a costume contest." That's what she told me. Okay. Become the show costume contest. This is her official page, and it says, "Every night a costume gathering will take place. The three best costumes will come on stage during In This Moment set. One winner will take a portrait with the band and get a prize from the merch booth."
Would it be a Funeral Portrait?
And, uh, it does have our show listed on there.
He's not even paying attention right now.
Oh, no, I'm not listening to you at all, Peaches. Um, and it says, "Tomorrow we'll do a post for contest entering instructions," so let's go to tomorrow. There was no post tomorrow.
All right.
[laughs] So that's from Maria Brink's own socials. I have no idea, but I'm sure if you dress up, it's fun to dress up, and it'll be a good time.
I was glad to see a few people dress up as Chad Gray with the, uh, makeup at the Mudvayne show in Pocatello.
Yeah. Yeah, that was pretty cool for sure.
I'm hoping this one has a lot more, uh, freaks, you know?
Oh, yeah. I know I've, I've gotta figure out what I'm gonna dress up as.
Again, the streaker.
[laughs] Hey, you guys wanna see me with no pants?
Listen to us take a picture?
[laughs]
You're just naked smiling real big.
[laughs]
"You're always talking about how you love nudist resorts. This is my first nudist concert, guys. This, this is empowering."
But everybody has to be naked. [laughing] It can't just be one person.
What if we somehow cor- coordinated that? [laughs] Where everyone in the audience was naked?
Next time my band plays-
They come out, "Whoa!" [laughs]
Next time my band plays, that'll be a requirement. It'll be at a 21 plus venue. Everyone has to be naked.
Who's walking by the studio today?
Who's out there? Oh, it's, it's some, you know, Charlie Brown looking fool.
Oh, Josh from-
That's right
... Class of 97.
Won't you get-
Charlie Brown looking fool?
[laughs]
Josh had a great, uh, meme for the Facebook page that I was thinking about, 'cause it's, uh, Steve from Blue's Clues birthday. I was gonna say, "Happy 52nd birthday to Steve Burns," and post a picture of Victor.
Hold on Josh, I gotta activate your microphone here.
Victor's going to the show naked tonight, Jade, just in case you're wondering.
Yeah. I figured it was a good idea.
No one wants to see that.
Yeah, they do. Everyone wants to see that. What are you talking about? That's what I was told, and I, I thought it was perfectly legit as a representative of this company.
You know the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark when they open it up, the face starts melting off?
[laughs] Yeah.
That's what's gonna happen if you do that at a show. Everyone's face is just gonna like-
Ah! I know. 'Cause I'm so hot. That's why their faces will melt off. Huh, guys? You know you wanna see. [laughs] You called me a Charlie Brown lookin' guy. Yeah. When you're the good griefiest of us all. [laughs] Oh! Look at you. [laughing] That's the best burn I've heard all day. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. [laughing] Well, us, us three cool dudes are gonna be at the show. What are you doing, loser? When? Tonight. Oh, not that. [laughs]
That's what you get for dissin' on me. Callin' you a loser. Ha, take that. Bam. [laughs] Okay. What's your shirt say? Oh, a fish... It's a fishing shop. I know. It's a fly shop. [laughing] I- I just wanted to read it. Uh, it looks like it says, "Fish fu mommies." Fish food mommies? Fish fu mommies. Fish fo mommies. [laughs] Like- Like we don't have fish and- Is Chantel a fruit? ... fish and fo mommies? Yeah. I'm like, "Is Chantel a fruit with that skirt?" [laughing] Yeah. She's in for a... [laughs] Oh, I guess she is a mommy. This is the noon hour of madness and mayhem. What's up, Peaches?
I had a morbid break yesterday. I don't know if you saw the story about the one lady who died while on the Haunted Mansion.
I did. I talked about that.
[laughs] I'm just imagining... [laughs] I, I wanted to make the joke on the air, but I stopped myself 'cause I was laughing too hard. Uh, you know... [laughs] Can you imagine if they take you to get your photo taken at the end? [laughs]
[laughs] Oh yeah.
[laughs] You're, you're smiling, she's just dead in the seat next to you. [laughs] And, and, the, uh, the... when you ride the Haunted Mansion, they put a ghost, uh, on top-
Yeah
... or like, on you. So, I just imagined [laughs] her ghost. [laughs]
Oh, that's messed up, Peaches. [laughs] They make you look like a ghost, but she was one.
The last thing you see before you die is Jack Skellington. [laughs]
All right. Sorry, everybody. If anyone recently had a family member pass-
[laughs]
... we're sorry. We don't know that it happened, and we make these jokes sometimes. Okay? [laughs]
My aunt there before Christmas. [laughs] She's just, she has a health event and passes away. Poor lady. I know she gets to get stretched out of the park.
But what better way to die?
You die at the happiest place on Earth. [laughs]
Yeah, that sounds like a good way to go.
If you could choose the ride you could die on [laughs] at Disneyland, which one would you choose? [laughs]
I mean, the Haunted Mansion seems pretty good-
Come on, what Space-
... 'cause then you get to haunt that place.
What about Space Mountain? [laughs] You just, but then you come outta the darkness and just... [laughs]
[laughs]
Mountain or Matterhorn, you're floppin' around. [laughs]
[laughs] Oh yeah, you'd fly out of that cart, dude. [laughs]
The teacups, you're spinning, and you fly out of the cup. [laughs]
[laughs] Oh, man. Oh, yeah, that story, um, I, when I read it, I was just like, "That sounds like a good way to go." You know? In the Haunted Mansion, it's a fun ride, it's a classic, and then you become a ghost in there.
I think that ride is legitimately haunted. I mean, we dive deep into this whole thing about, uh, you know, the haunted areas of Disneyland and how workers have died and, um-
Oh
... people have seen ghosts come from the Haunted Mansion area out to the walkway of the park at night, and-
Let's pull it up. Let's pull it up
... all of that stuff. I mean, they've gotten rid of a ton of stuff that used to be there. I know Thomas Sawyer's Island used to be right across from there.
Oh, yeah.
Um-
And now it's all closed off, right?
Yeah.
Like, you can't go there. All right, there is a page that talks about ghosts in the happiest place on Earth.
I'm gonna stand up 'cause my back is hurting me.
Oh, poor Peaches. "My back is hurting me." Oh, poor fella. Um,
geez, [laughs] this page I pulled up, it has a YouTube video linked, the seven most gruesome deaths at Disneyland.
What if that-
[laughs] I don't know if that's appropriate for air.
Well, what if that was your uncle, and you're like, "Yeah, my uncle made it to number one most gruesome death at Disneyland."
[laughs] He's the, he's the best, number one.
Nobody can top him. He fell off the Matterhorn at the top.
[laughs] I mean, I am gonna watch that video.
Oh yeah, you have to.
I, I've gotta see it now.
Yeah, yeah, I, I should send you some of those videos of, uh, people explaining submechanophobia, and it's, it's in... terrifying to me.
What's that?
It's when you're, like, you're afraid of giant robots underwater.
Oh yeah, you told me about that one time.
Uh, like, there's tons of different, uh, amusement park, uh, attractions that have giant robots underwater who are just terrifying to be next to.
Yeah, dude, this page, um, it does seem to go over, I, I didn't even have to watch the video, in naming the places that it says are haunted, it tells why. And it's generally because somebody died in that area, like on the monorail, uh, Space Mountain.
How many people have died at Disneyland?
That's a great question, Peaches. How many people have died at Disneyland? It's gotta be a lot, 'cause a lot of people go to Disneyland. Um, let's see.
I mean, thousands of people go there in a week. I can only imagine over the course of when it was first opened back in the 19... was it '50s?
Uh-
... to now?
... something like that.
70 years of being a park.
Okay, '96. '96, and there's an article that provides a list of every reported fatality... oh, at a Disney Park, not just Disneyland.
Do you think they make their medics wear Mickey ears?
[laughs]
[laughs] When, when they were trying to revive this woman? They give her CPR, [laughs] then she goes, "Oh, oh!" [laughs]
[laughs] That's messed up, Peaches.
It's the noon hour of madness and mayhem.
I'm just thinking, like, if your relative dies at Disneyland, do they send a Disney character to your house like when a soldier passes away? And like, Goofy shows up and goes, "Oh gosh, your, uh, Aunt Shirley died." [laughs]
Oh. [laughs] Geez. Now, okay, has anyone ever had a Disney-themed funeral? Has-
Oh, I'm sure.
Have to be, right? Oh, geez, [laughs] there's a website called magicalpassings.com, [laughs] and, uh, it says you can send them to the Castle in the Sky.
Wow.
Um, all right, let's see what services they offer.
You also have to pay $1,000 when you get there.
Yeah, it's magical themed funeral services, Disney-themed funeral services. Um, they offer, oh geez, near end of life services for family members in hospice. Um, z-... and they can, uh, you know, help you out with music, special props and backdrops. Uh-
Somebody posted on Reddit a year ago, on R/IsIt... I can't even say the, the letters. IsItB... S-
Okay.
Okay, that... I can say that. Cool.
That's totally fine.
Um, he said,
"No one has died, but for one of my classes I'm essentially pretending to plan my own funeral. I stumbled upon this whole Magical Passings page that we're talking about-
[laughs] Okay.
... and wanted to know if anyone knew if these were legit. Like, is there actually someone I could ask about prices and stuff for my literal research purposes?"
Well, in the FAQ, Peaches, it says-
Oh, it's a, it's a parody.
This is a parody website?
Somebody said, "It's completely and utterly fake." Someone else has already clarified that the first link is parody, magicalpassings.com. And there's a second link that they have here for Magical Funerals on Facebook, the page. There is no official Disney funeral stuff. There are funeral places/coffin makers that can make Disney themed stuff, but they won't be officially sanctioned.
Ha, okay.
It's impossible the service might get sued by Disney for copyright-
I-
... or, because if they... like, if you have Mickey Mouse all over your casket, you can't-
Yeah, you can't sell it
... like, well, I don't know, because Mickey's, uh, went back into the public domain, didn't he?
Well, Steamboat Willie did.
Steamboat Willie.
Play the old car horn.
[laughs]
Arr!
I don't have that button up. [laughs]
It's right there.
I've only got the losing horn.
It's right there. Bottom left.
Bottom left?
Right, right above your, your... the blue bars, right there. It's the first column.
First colu- I, I don't see it, Peaches. Oh, old car horn. [car horn] [laughs] There we go, Steamboat Willie. [car horn] well, th- that's unfortunate that magicalpassings.com's no good, 'cause, uh, they've got the FAQ and, you know, people are asking like, "Can you play music inside the casket?"
I got Grandma buried in a Toontown urn.
[laughs]
Or she's cremated in the Toontown urn.
Yeah, dude. It, it sounds like a good time to me.
Chippendale right there on the front.
I think we should try to make funerals more fun. They're generally just a downer, you know?
That's why you need to get buried in the KISS casket.
Ah, no, I gotta get buried in like, uh, you know, a Tool casket.
Sure.
You know, I don't-
So it'll cost like 70 grand.
I don't want Gene Simmons' face, Gene Simmons' face on my cask... Oh yeah, a Tool casket would be the most expensive casket ever.
I think there, I think there was a TMZ follow-up about Gene Simmons, funny enough that you say that.
Oh yeah, he got in an accident, right?
He got in an accident, then his wife, I think she said she was terrified he was driving or something like that. Like, TMZ would talk to the wife.
Huh.
Yeah.
Yeah. Uh, but he's doing all right?
I, I, I would hope.
Yeah, I mean, we haven't seen the, you know, the TMZ update. You know how quick they are about those kinda updates. Um, he's recovering, it looks like. So he's back to slinging caskets. If you wanna order your KISS casket, I th- I assume you can do so at, uh, kiss.com, right?
He's also, um, trying to sell his own merch while he's in the hospital.
[laughs] Well, yeah.
Get the KISS IV.
[laughs] It's the noon hour of madness and mayhem. Uh, congratulations, Peaches.
[clapping].
Facebook official.
Uh, I was shocked. Uh, we talked about it last night.
Yeah?
And she kinda just told me this whole thing as to why she wants to be more private and such-
Yeah.
... and I was, was respecting that. And then literally as I was sitting here in the studio, um, it just [laughs] all of a sudden popped up. She wants to list, list you in a relationship with her.
Yeah.
And, uh, I almost hit ignore.
[laughs] No, I tried to encourage you to do so. Just kidding, Aubrey, if you're listening. [laughs]
No she's not.
[laughs]
She, she, uh, she's a trooper, though, for coming to these shows too.
Yeah.
Um, she was, uh, she's, she kinda has like this look on her face that, uh, she's being blasted with air when you play her a metal song.
[laughs]
'Cause she just gets so anxious listening to it.
Well, maybe she'll really dig, uh, some of the bands tonight.
Oh, she loves Dayseeker.
Okay.
Her brother, uh, is huge into Dayseeker, um, and, uh, The Funeral Portrait, she's like, "I like the sound of him, he's not too screamy."
Okay.
I'm like, "You're secretly an 80-year-old woman."
Okay, so In This Moment might not be her jam then, when Maria just starts screaming.
I don't think she's... I don't think she minds them.
Really?
And I, I played her some Kublai Khan, or "Koob-lai Kahm," and-
Yeah?
... the guitar tone of neee...
[laughs]
... that drove her nuts.
[laughs]
And then-
Didn't like the feedback, huh?
I played her Seeing Red from Architects, that was a fun one.
All right, and that one's not super crazy.
Well, you gotta think, she's a boring pop listener, okay?
Okay.
She likes Tate McRae, Benson Boone.
Okay. Oh, so you're gonna start getting dragged to some of those shows?
No.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
Benson Boone just did three sold out nights in Salt Lake, I saw online.
I saw her, her one of a kind Nate Eaton across the hall went to one of those shows.
Yeah, yeah. Looked like he played it smart, waited till the last minute, found some cheap tickets, so that's the way to do it, people. Uh, which, today is the day of the show, if you wanna go to In This Moment, there might be some sweet deals floating around. Uh, don't you wanna hang out with us in the pit?
Yeah.
Yeah. Ugh, that was a burp.
I might be expe- I might be experiencing some back pain during the whole show, so I might just be in the corner, probably be leaning on Aubrey.
We could do a Peaches needs a pal video, just have her go away for a minute. Peaches lost a pal.
That's the thing now, yeah.
Now, now you... everyone knows you have a pal.
Well, that- that's the funny part, is that, um, there has been a couple comments on the post on Facebook saying, "Peaches finally found a pal."
[laughs] Of course.
And they also screamed that at the, uh, the, uh, Chevelle show last Tuesday, when me and her were walking in.
Oh, nice. D-
Yeah.
Nice. Well, we'll all be hanging out with our ladies tonight for In This Moment, Dayseeker, The Funeral Portrait, and Dead. Super easy to find us, look for Peaches. That's how you find us at every show.
I mean, if you see a tiny little girl with glasses, that's Maddie.
Yeah, she's pretty small.
And people are like, "Are you Peaches' girlfriend?" [laughs] You're walking up to her.
Oh. [laughs]
[laughs]
[laughs] She's like, "No, no."
Not even close.
[laughs] Yeah, it's gonna be a fun night. We're really excited to see everybody, so come out, have some fun, and, uh, I don't know, I don't know, we, we gotta get ready, Peaches. Time to get ready for the show.
Yeah, this back pain has made it impossible to put on, uh, socks and shoes, so I might have Aubrey help me put [laughs] stuff on tonight.
I wonder if we could get you a, a stretcher or a, you know, something like that for your Halloween costume. We wheel you in as a giant, you know, just dead man.
Geez.
[laughs] You know? And you can just lay there during the show.
Who's gonna carry me into the venue?
E- They got wheels. We could, you know, get a few of us and push it.
Yeah, that thing's gonna collapse.
That would've been better at Static-X, though. "Yeah! Yo, push it!"
[laughs]
And, you know, push.
That was a great s- that was a great show too.
That was a really great show.
We- we've been spoiled as of late. I feel like this is what living in a big city is like, working in radio. There's concerts every other week.
Oh, yeah. I was talking to Elwood-
Yeah
... in, uh, Chicago.
He also added me on Facebook. Shout out to him.
Yeah, he's good dude. And, um, you know, I was like, "Man, we got a busy week [laughs] with, you know, like gonna be at, like four shows in 10 days." That dude goes to a show, like, every day.
Yeah.
In Chicago, you know?
His whole Instagram is literally him meeting rock stars.
Yeah, pretty much,and doing stage announcements, and just posting clips from shows. I'd, I get tired, youknow?
I, that's the thing for m- tonight, I'm just, like, "Do I really wanna stay up the whole night?"
[laughs]
Like, that's how my back feels.
I've... now, you hear me complain about being sleepy all the time. You know? I'm just ready to, like, tomorrow's a rainy day.
Oh, yeah.
Just coop up in my house, watch horror movies.
I'm gonna have a heating pad.
Dude.
Get some hot cocoa.
Yeah! There you go, partying hard. Peaches with the hot beverage. That's wilding. So, yeah, if you see us at the show, come say what's up. We're always happy to see everybody. If you want a selfie or whatever, we're always cool to do that. And, um-
Uh, d- uh, Victor's also gonna be naked tonight, so...
Um, just, just be aware.
Just kidding-
Oh, yeah!
... everybody.
All right.
I don't wanna go to jail.
I feel like if Becca encourages you enough, you're just like, "Yeah, all right!"
All right, fine!
"Party!"
