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. Victor, do you refuse? I do refuse. I refuse to do my job today. I told Jade that.
I he's the you know, he's down the hall somewhere, and he can't get here fast. So I'm a crack cold one peaches. Yeah. What are you gonna do, Jade? That's right.
Nothing. Because you can't get here fast enough. You're cracking open a nice polar seltzer is what you're cracking open over there. Whatever peaches, this is some hard stuff right here, man. Get crazy.
I got my hydro flask full of water. I'm staying hydrated. This keeps you hydrated. It's water. Right?
Sure. Water that makes you burp. So get ready listeners. Will you turn my headphones up, Peaches? Yeah.
I was sitting here There we go. In the in the studio chair rowing because we were listening to a monomarth. We rule the waves, off the air. We are fighting kings. They they do need to get a full fledged pirate ship like a real one and just tour the world on it.
Do shows on it. Fun. Yeah. They're like Awesome. You know, they do the cruise ship thing, but no.
Pirate ship. Is it shiprocked? Yeah. Shiprocked. We need to get the, I don't know, the Viking vessel of something.
The Viking vessel. Yes. I I don't know. But it it would be cool. Make all the band members row?
They better. They claim to row all the time. They look like they do. I wouldn't mess with those guys. Well, speaking of traveling, international travel teaches, this is just a great transition.
For some reason, in a an article about Andre the Giant popped up on my Facebook feed, and it was talking about, how he'd eat about 20 pounds of food a day. And, they had a fourteen hour flight. You know, it's lunchtime, so this is a good time to talk about food. But they had a fourteen hour flight from Tokyo to The US, and I guess, Andre had to use a bathroom. And, Brutus the Barber Beefcake claims the stench was so intense that passengers began gagging, crying, and puking as the smell spread through the cabin.
Isn't there the infamous story of Andre the Giant, how he did, like, a twenty second lawn fart on the set of the princess bride? And somebody asked him, like, are you okay? And he said, I'm better now. Yes. After letting go of that fart, I wish somebody caught it on audio.
But Yeah. I know. Totally. Legendary stories about him drinking, what, like, a 100 plus beers on a flight. The most beers ever in one sitting.
Ric Flair Yeah. Brags about it and drinking with Andre. I don't think Andre the Giant was all that big. You know? He wasn't crazy tall.
No. He was just a big fat French guy. Yes. He was. And, boy, I guess, could he unleash a stench.
I thought Jade was bad, but I've never seen total chaos, people falling into the aisles, unable to handle the fumes while some some wrestlers were on the floor laughing. That's what I would be doing. There's no way he fit in that lavatory. No way. No.
Was it one of those, like, or Maybe it was a private jet. Well, Well, because back in the day, planes were a lot roomier. Yeah. I bet the bathrooms used to be bigger because I hate having to go into the airport bath. I can't imagine being you.
I do have a video of me standing there in front of the mirror in one of the plane bathrooms, and I'm, you know, shoulders in. Yeah. Because your head's gonna hit the ceiling too. I'm sure. Yeah.
Like yeah. It'd be terrible to be a bigger guy. And, I mean, to have to fly, period. Because those seats are cramped for me. You know?
Imagine you being the person that has to sit next to Andre the Giant. I would assume they give him two seats. There's no Right. Well, yeah. But I'm it would still be cool to sit next to him and talk to him.
Wouldn't wouldn't understand a word he's saying. That's what I was gonna say. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I've tried to watch interviews with him, and I have no clue what he's saying. Rocky impression. See, that's why I watch movies with subtitles on because, you know, there might be a character with an accent. And I'm like, I don't know what they're saying. Anybody want a peanut?
That's that's still Sylvester Stallone. But the whole talk he had, like, the pituitary gland problem, I think. Yeah. Mhmm. Yeah.
Like, there there's some of those guys that like, who's the tallest guy of all time? Was he Robert Wadlow, eight foot eleven? Eight eleven. He died at, like, 27 years old. Just from being tall.
Yeah. His, no. He died of something else. I completely forgot. It was like some sort of disease.
We thought he had his head on something, you know? No. He died. Yeah. He he, was the tallest person in history.
His height was due to gigantism. Doesn't say how how did he die. Let me just how did he die? Nice pleasant time. '22.
He died of '22. He died from septic shock from an infected blister on his ankle. Oh, geez. The infection was caused by a faulty brace that rubbed against his ankle during a public appearance. Oh my gosh.
Despite Really? Despite blood transfusions and surgery, his condition worsened, and he passed away in his sleep. See this this is why you always go to the doctor, kids. That poor family with that casket. That'd be a 10 foot long box, dude.
They had to custom make it. I'm sure. I'm sure. If if he didn't ask to be cremated out of respect for his family's bills. Yeah.
Casket. I'm I'm looking it up to see if it's real. I think he yeah. They buried him in a casket? 12 foot by 10 wait.
12 by 10 no. That's a pic size of the picture. Where's the casket? Yeah. And did he have to buy two grave plugs?
But he did die he did just naturally go. They didn't cremate him, but there's, like, 20 people holding his casket at his funeral. Yeah. When usually there's, what, like, four pallbearers? How is there oh, this was taken in 1940.
This is the actual this is the actual picture of his funeral. Yeah. Oh. In a 10 foot long steel casket that were wrought that required 18 pallbearers. 18.
Why did they go with steel? The b r d. Well, mine is better. That's right. I've changed my mind.
I don't wanna be on display like Lennon at the, museum of Idaho where they have to, you know, constantly keep my body, you know, preserved. I guess they could go ahead and put me in a metal box because I don't wanna be metal. He was just wanting to see people's he wanted everyone to struggle. I think because he was only 22. I feel like he was just that rebellious teenager still.
Oh, yeah. He was like, you know what? Put me in a steel casket. Steel casket. You should do that too, Pete.
If he lived to 40 years old, he would have been ten feet tall because of the old the his he would have just kept growing. Wow. Yeah. That's crazy. I think he wore, like, a size, like, thirty six shoe or something like that.
Holy crap. Yeah. Could you imagine seeing that freak back in the day? Oh, it's like it's like nineteen twenty something. I guess for you to call him a freak, it's fine.
Yeah. Have you seen his statue at Ripley's Believe It or Not? They always have that, that robot of him Oh, no. Where he's sitting in the chair with a cane, and then he stands up. And you can stand next to him and see how short you are compared to him.
Shaq has a picture of, him next to that guy, and he looks so tiny. Uh-huh. I'll have to check it out. I'm not even seeing it. He's almost he's a foot and ten inches shorter than Robert Wadlow.
That's crazy, man. Eight foot eleven. Imagine seeing that guy walk into the room. Well, he definitely have to duck. I mean, the he is the ceilings in here are what?
Eight foot? I think. I think they're about eight foot ceilings. So, yeah, he'd just be hunched over all the time. Be terrible to be that tall.
Back. His joints would be awful. Oh, yeah. Yeah. What bed is he sleeping in?
He wouldn't even fit in a California king. Usually, I get asked these questions, but, you know, I'm asking him. I'm I'm asking, I don't know, his spirit. I'm guessing He's not in the room. Two twin beds, and they were laid end to end.
Dude, he died in 1940. He he was born in what? 1918? The world's biggest cot? I don't know if you just Yeah.
What did they do? Like, what was his bed like? Can we look that up real quick? Robert Wadlow bed bed size. Let's see here.
Robert Wadlow used a custom made 10 foot bed at home. When traveling, he slept on two double beds pushed together together according to the Farmville Herald. I called it two double beds end to end. Dude, look at this picture of this guy. This is how this come around.
We gotta recreate this photo. There's a dude talking to him, and he's laying out like a French model. Wow. He's so huge. He like, because he's not only tall, he's just big.
He he was a he looks like a big guy, but the guy next to him looks so small. Yeah. It's so small. And the guy next to him is probably, like, my size or something. It has to be.
I mean There's somebody there's a woman talking to him on top of a ladder in another photo, and he's just standing there. And he looks like a giant nerd. He has the thick glasses. He wears the suits. I don't know where the he got the suits from.
Custom tailor, for sure. Robert Wadlow custom clothes. Because I'm sure they were expensive. Robert Wadlow's exceptional height necessitated custom made clothing and shoes throughout his life. He required significantly more fabric for his clothes, including a size thirty seven a a shoe, which was roughly eighteen and a half inches long.
Holy crap. His clothes were not only larger, but also required specialized construction to accommodate his size. Man. See? So you ain't got it so bad.
Well, a lot of those clothes are custom made because he outgrew standard sizes very early on. For example, at 13, he was already seven foot four Oh my god. And needed custom made clothing including a boy scout uniform. They had to make a custom boy scout uniform. Can you imagine a seven foot four boy scout?
How is that guy sleeping in a tent? Oh, camping and with that height. Dude, you because I'm shocked he didn't die from somebody shooting him. He's like, like, oh my god. It's Bigfoot.
Yeah. Exactly. That's why he dressed like a nerd. No confusion. Yeah.
He has to yeah. Well, that's that was a long break about a tall freak. That's There we go. A tall freak. I can call him that.
Victor, have you seen the, the the new term for somebody dating a robot? No. Well, I don't think so anyway. It's called a clanker. A clanker?
Yeah. Get that clanker out of my house. Now they're calling it somewhat of a a slur, I think. They're calling it the new slur for a robotic significant other. Like, what if your daughter comes home with that robot boyfriend and you're like, I don't want a pre I don't want a clanker in my house.
Okay. Well, so is the person dating the robot the clinker or the robot? Let's look it up here. Clanker I haven't heard that. Definition.
Because I saw a reel recently on Instagram of some guy. You know those food delivery bots in LA? One of them was leaving a restaurant, and this guy was all like, get that clanker off of my street. Yes. Already got people turning against the robots.
Yeah. What the heck is this clanker Wookieepedia? Is this the Star Wars thing? I don't want that. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Maybe that's where they got it from, a Star Wars term. I guess. Something that makes a clanking noise, a slang term for a fib or exaggeration, an AI powered bot, or the Farcaster social on the Farcaster social network. I don't know what this is.
I'm guessing it's gotta be the robots. Here we go. Urban dictionary. Not your true care for. A slur for robots.
Yeah. Okay. What a clanker. Jeez. Watch, you know, somebody's gonna pull up this audio in five years, and AI will be sentient, and it'll be now a crime.
You know? Like, you're gonna get canceled post, you know, show five years later. I've been I've been cussing out Chad GPT left and right. Why don't you be nice to Chad GPT? It won't give me the the the the pictures I wanna generate.
It'll just say, like, this goes against our content policy. I know. I've had that with a lot of different AI image sites recently. It's so boring. I had that.
And then I also, with today in music history, I have it organized and summarized the three different stories for today in music history on Cannonball. Yeah. And sure enough, it'll, like, jump ahead and give me, like, the summary and all that. Like like, as I give him the second one Mhmm. And I go, hold your horses.
And I I start, like, screaming at it. Yeah. You need to be nice to chat GPT, Pete. I am also in the back of my head worried that, you know, my chat logs will be forever archived even if I delete them. That's why I still remember.
I always say please and thank you. I'm very nice to chat GPT in case it eventually takes over the planet. It just reminded me of that old person meme where this one old lady was just every time she Google searched something, she would put please and thank you at the end of her searches. I that that's what you're doing. That's what I'm doing with chat GPT, just in case.
Just in case. Somehow, somewhat. I again, I don't know why we continue to develop it even though, like, everyone's against it. Because people are getting rich. That's why most things that people don't like that don't make any sense, we keep doing is because somebody's making lots of money.
Yeah. There's radio companies out there just doing the bare minimum when it comes to running radio stations. They put on those stupid AI DJs. I'm glad AI Ashley failed. I really am so happy.
I prayed for that downfall. Oh, yeah. And, I mean, I think everybody knew it would because the technology isn't there yet. Given a few years ago just like, who wants to listen to that, like, robot? I wouldn't wanna listen to a robot.
No. It would have to be a really good robot. And we know you're out there, good robot, chat g p t u, whoever you are. Alright. Relax.
Alright. Here we go. What are signs that you shouldn't get married somebody put on AskReddit? Victor's an expert in this field. Yes.
I can't wait to say yes or no. Give these thumbs up and thumbs down. Now is the top answer, Peach, is you are 18 years old. No. The top answer is if the other person is one foot out the door every time there's any kind of difficulty, especially if the difficulty has an external cause.
Okay. So, like, you know, you're getting in a little bit of an argument and like, I've had it. I'm leaving. Sure. Yeah.
You gotta be able to sort out your communication, issues and your differences. You gotta be able to talk about things. That's very important. If you lived with that person in the same house and couldn't solve your core issues, getting married or having a child would not solve them. If anything, it only complicates everything.
I am not against marriage, but I think people should look at it. Look at this like an investment and really be wary of the potential damage that could come of it. Yeah. And I've told people before, you need to live with somebody for a really long time before you marry them. You know?
Step one, move in together and see if you can tolerate each other for a few years. I'd say a few years. I know a couple of couples that have been together for, like, six months, and they're already, you know, getting married. Did they live together? One of them moved in with the other person that still had an apartment they paid for elsewhere Yeah.
But just lived with the fiance now. Okay. Or still lives with the fiance now, but they still pay for that apartment elsewhere. Yeah. See, that's a waste of money.
Quite dumb. But yeah. What are you doing? Save the dough, throw in on bills together. It's one of the reasons to live together.
Save money. If your primary motivation isn't the person you're marrying but the approval you'll get from others. I hope that nobody does that. If you're only doing it because my mom will be so happy or it's just what people our age do or you're afraid your partner will be disappointed if you don't propose. What?
Do not is what this person said. They're right. Like, absolutely. My mom will be happy if I get married. That's a terrible reason to get married.
No. You should get married because you wanna be with that. You're, like, confident. I'm gonna be with this person forever. And because there are some, like, tax breaks and things you get.
I mean, it's it's kinda strange, really, because it should be all about the love. Right, Peaches? Well, not only the tax breaks, but also, like, if you marry someone who's, from elsewhere and they need to have that citizenship here in The United States. I don't know if that's working anymore. Oh, yeah.
That's true. They're trying to change everything about that. You avoid hard conversations or shut down during agreements, major differences in life goals, kids, money, religion, lifestyle, career priorities. Yeah. You feel you must shrink high to perform to keep your partner happy.
Mhmm. These are all good reasons to not get married. You're afraid to speak your mind or pursue your own interests? Oh, yeah. Yeah.
These are all good. And a lot of people out there are in bad relationships. And I know it's hard to end a bad relationship. You know, it's much easier to just stick it out. But seriously, if you aren't happy in your relationship, just get out of it.
Alright? You need to think about yourself. You gotta put yourself first sometimes, and a relationship should be, a thing that's beneficial to both of you and that keeps you happy and that, you know, you look forward to seeing that person. You know, if you're like, the work day's almost over. I gotta go home.
You should probably break up. I'm glad we got rid of those, hate your wife, jokes. Hate your wife jokes? Have you ever remember those, like, old dudes that would go to the bar and be like, it's better than being at home with the wife? Yeah.
Those are guys that should get a divorce. Like, if you make those kind of jokes, then you you've got a bad relationship. There's two extremes. There's those people, and then there's the happy wife, happy life crowd. Yeah.
You need to be in the middle. You do gotta be in the middle. I mean, I'd say make sure to, you know, do really nice things for your significant other. You know? You should Oh, no.
One of us has to disagree now. You got Jade's rules. That's right. But he doesn't If he doesn't bring you the fork at the table, it's the We want my family and I a while while ago watched I Love Lucy and Ricky Ricardo. Oh, I bet he's terrible.
He he was like, give me a fork. Darn it. One of the saints. And he's like, can't get up and go get it himself. That's right, Peter.
We need to go back to those times. That's back in I ought to back in those days, time were good. Well, Victor, every time that you don't show up for the noon hour, the Maddie kid joins in on the fun. But now she's here joining us. Hey.
What's up? Not much. And you do a great job in my absence. Some some days are better than others. One of us has to disagree.
She does horrible. I know. Try harder. I just you know, I just wanna be a radio star. But Maddie needs, some advice, some relationship advice, Victor, and you're the king of that.
We just did a whole break about why people should not get married. Yes. That was a whole break we did, and I agreed with, like, everything everybody said. So, we don't need to rehash it. But, you know, you younger people, we didn't have the tools around back then that you do now to try to find, a date.
What? You actually have to talk to people now? Victor had to do that. He did. Victor had to do that thing where he would call, her house and then the dad would answer the phone Yeah.
And be like, hey. Can you pass the phone to the so and so? So no late night texts. No stalking social media. Couldn't do that.
No. You had to, like, hope that you could, that she'd, like, go around, turn all the ringers off in the house, and maybe pick up. Maybe her older brother was listening in on the other line. Yeah. You never know.
Yeah. Kids got it so good nowadays. I You young people. Well, depends. Victor also escaped through the window on, like, a blanket rope, you know?
Yeah. You got a parachute. That's right. No. I think Victor's dumb enough to just jump in the bush and think it's soft.
I'd just walk out the door. Oh, okay. I would just down the pipe. Walk out the door and be like, ah, they're asleep and they ain't gonna hear me. Yeah.
You know? Your poor pair. Pale. I they they were nice at least. They didn't get on my case.
True. But we were talking about setting Maddie, a Tinder profile, and setting that whole thing up because she, liked her whole thing about us setting up Russell's profile from back in the day. Did he ever have any luck with that? I I think he I think he's doing okay. Alright.
Now have you ever used Tinder Peaches? I have not. Oh, yeah. Okay. I did.
My daughter found her boyfriend on Tinder, my daughter, Maddie. Okay. Mhmm. So I think people do have pretty good luck with it. So what makes a good Tinder profile?
You get a standout. It's like a resume, Maddie. Oh, yeah. You're promoting yourself. I'm good at building a resume.
But Dude, you should really honestly put videos of, like, hey. This is why you should date me. And then Oh, yeah. You should produce videos. Whole viral thing.
I make my own thirst traps and, you know, fan edits myself. Exactly. That that would you know, the thing is, I think we gotta find you a specialized audience. Right? Yeah.
I guess that's true. So I don't know how it is making thirst like, you know, getting dudes attention is easy because guys are just dumb. Right. You know? Right.
But it I think it'd be a lot trickier. You should be able to make the perfect profile because you know what the ladies are looking for. Right? That's true. I do.
It seems like it would be easier to make a profile. Yeah. I think what I gotta do is, like, dye my hair and get a couple of mirror piercings. Maybe that'll get my niche. Yeah.
I don't know. Well, you're talking about giving yourself an interesting haircut recently. Yes. I did go for the bob, but I'm thinking more wolf cut mullet style. Yeah.
A little bit of red. I thought you were gonna join us with the whole bald look. I'm like, you look good. I know. Join bald clothes.
Katie would kill me. You look like James from Avatar. That's it. Katie would hunt me down and kill me if I went bald. Did I show you a picture of my daughter when she cut her hair, like, super short, basically shaved her head?
I think so. Victor, your daughter that did that looks exactly like you. So if she shaved her head, she's she's gonna look at video. That looks fine. My biggest look like a a boy.
My biggest concern is I didn't get enough tummy time as a baby. So I'm gonna shave my head and there's just gonna be a big, old flat spot in the back in the back of my head. Only one way to find out. I don't think I'm ready for that. Just shave it and you're like, oh, jeez.
I didn't know that that lump's there. Hey. At least I can blame my parents for that one. Yeah. Just shout out mama Jen.
Thank you, mama Jen. Where's the where's the Friday air horn? I mean, I'd assume you've looked at pictures with, you know, women that have shaved their head. Yeah. It it can look good.
I know. But I think my hair is just so thick, and it would grow back really, really curly, and I don't think that's an era I'm ready for. It wasn't like me who barely had any hair. When shaved it off, nobody really noticed. You have a lot.
That's true. Shave it off, everyone be like, woah. What heck? What happened here? I have a lot of hair.
Like, I can make each of you wigs if I cut off my hair. Yeah. Okay. One half of my head would go to you, Peaches, and one half would go to Victor. Halloween costume right there.
Now she's got, you know, some kind of filter on there that you can see with the horns. But I was alive during that Snapchat era. Let me see. Is that a bad look? I never saw her with the shaved head.
I just don't think it's for me. Oh, a shaved in that picture? Yeah. Pretty much. I mean, it's short.
It it started growing back. I thought there'd be maybe a better picture, but, yeah, she she kept her hair pretty straight for a long time. Oh, yeah. Miss Maddie, we would have to have you stand out. And, well, I don't know what pictures you would wanna use if you wanted to get your sweet Subaru.
I have a pretty good repertoire of pictures going. Okay. Like, I got the I got the artsy pictures. I got the French horn. You know, that's a good niche to my to my musical friends out there.
Yeah. You help find some other nerds. You know? I have a video of me laying face down in the middle of the road. I don't know if that would be a good option.
She posted a picture of her crying in water yesterday. Yeah. I was sitting in the Snake River with fully clothed. Just crying. Just crying.
It looked like a sad R and B album. If you just put an explicit tag in the bottom left corner, it'd be a good album cover. We should have shared it in the K Bar group, Maddie Needs a Pal. Maddie Needs a Pal. That'd be a good one.
Well, I I think you should go for it. You know, when it comes to these pictures and such alright. I see that, you know, women use these filters a lot that slightly change their appearance. I do not use filters. You're not gonna use filters.
I don't use Snapchat to take pictures. All the pictures I have are from just like your, you know, open your phone, take a picture, camera. And then I have a lot of pictures from, like, a digital camera because that's kinda, like, my whole that's my whole thing is I like to take pictures and throw it out. Maddie's Maddie's 100% old fashioned. She likes her whole, aesthetic is, grandma's house.
Grandma's house. You know, weird. That's like my daughter. She's got the grandma's house as state. Glass lamp.
Both named Maddie. Yep. Right? That's true. See?
That's true. Yeah. I mean, I guess both about the same age. Sorry, Maddie. She's taken.
It's okay. She's in the state. I'm not tripartner. Your daughter makes her. No.
Because of the father-in-law. Oh, jeez. No. Deep ball. We have butt butt butt now.
So we'll we'll set up the profile for Maddie at some point Maybe. If she wants to do it. I don't think we should tell the K Bear listeners about it, though. Yeah. I know.
It but we could go through when you guys can, you know, rate the picks, rate the answers. That might feel weird. I already helped her, him. I guess more composition, you know, style wise. Alright.
What what was that old rock radio segment? The hot babe of the day? Probably of the day. Put it on the website. Babe of the day.
I know. Maddie needs a pal. He's just not crying, River. The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem is a production of Riverbend Media Group. For more information or to contact the show, visit riverbendmediagroup.com.
