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!
[upbeat jazz music] The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast.
All righty, it's the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. I am Peaches.
I'm Victor.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Hey! Oh, there I am. Hi, Peaches.
I was gonna have you scream from across the room the entire show.
[yells] I'm Victor!
[laughs]
[yells] Hey, everybody.
[laughs] I'll just turn both of our mics off. Why not?
Oh, yeah. Then, then there's nothing.
Yeah, then there's absolutely nothing at all.
[laughs]
Here, I'll just k- I'll keep yours on.
Okay. You'll keep mine on, and then you'll yell.
Yeah, so I was thinking about this, 'cause I was like, can anyone actually truly sing?
What? Oh. [laughs]
I, I was thinking, uh, can anyone actually truly sing, or, or are you just born with that gift, kind of?
Hmm. I think some people are definitely born with a talent, but-
Like, if you can sing opera, that's, that's extremely talented.
Yeah.
That's so cool to, like, you know [sings note] [laughs] just, uh, bust that out.
But I, I do wonder if anybody, if they took vocal lessons and, you know, vocal training, if, if they could get really good at it. I don't know.
AI Overview says, "Yes, absolutely. If you can speak, you can sing. Singing is essentially a learned physical and motor skill-
Okay
... rather than just this innate genetic gift."
Well, and actually, thinking back, um, if you were to find recordings of me with my band when I was a teenager, um, I never had any vocal training of any sort, and I was terrible. I was awful. Over the years, I did learn techniques and, uh, did improve, got better. I, I wouldn't call myself a good singer, but-
[laughs]
... I did improve.
You know what I'm [laughs] ... I just realized something. For Memorial Day weekend, besides going to Al's Sporting Goods tomorrow from 3:00 to 6:00 for the, uh, huge tent outdoor sale-
Mm-hmm
... I feel like once that's over with and I get back to my place, or, or I should go to Walmart, get myself a DVD player, or just come here when nobody's around [laughs]
[laughs]
... and start doing The Art of Screaming DVD.
Yeah. Uh, I watched that, uh, many, many years ago. I learned some good stuff from it. And, uh, the vocal warm-ups are a-
I'm telling you once-
... choice. [hiccups] Oh, I got a hiccup.
Once I, once I learn how to sing, I'm gonna go ahead and just bust out the best, saddest songs you've ever heard.
[laughs] You're beautiful. [laughs]
[laughs]
Sounds like you've already got the voice for it. [laughs]
[laughs] [upbeat jazz music] It is the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. I am Peaches.
I'm Victor Wilt. And, uh, I think it was in the Octane fan club group, we were talking about Beartooth off-air, and it reminded me that, uh, somebody made a post about Caleb Shomo. This was a SiriusXM DJ, I guess. Maybe they didn't make a post. Maybe they were just talking about it on-air. But they saw Beartooth play, and I guess, uh, Caleb had a, a purse with him on stage. And she was like, "I wonder what's in his purse." And then that turned into a big dumpster fire on the, uh, the Sirius Octane fan club.
I feel like he's slowly mor- morphing into, uh, Boy George.
May- possibly.
[sings] I'll tumble for you.
You know, g- got that, uh, you know, getting into his David Bowie era-
Sure
... something like that. But, um, you know, people were fighting back and forth about this. She didn't say anything bad about him having a purse. She just said, "I wonder what's in his purse."
What's in the purse?
What's in the purse? And so I got thinking about it. I'm like, well, there was that time I dressed up as, uh-
Victoria Rose
... Victoria Rose, and I had a purse. And it, it was just all the stuff that was in my pockets. [laughs] You know, you put your wallet in there, your phone.
'Cause girls' pants, they don't have proper pockets.
No.
They're, they're not built like, uh, like our pants.
No. So they gotta have a purse to carry all their crap. Um, so I'd probably have some, uh, ChapStick maybe, some, uh, keys. It, it, it's probably nothing too exciting in Caleb Shomo's purse.
Interesting, 'cause I, I've never, I've never actually, like, used ChapStick on my own. Like, someone's already to- someone's told me to go, go use it. I'm like, "Sure, I'll go do that."
You've never used ChapStick?
Like, hardly ever, yeah.
Do your ... What?
[laughs] I just hardly ever-
Your lips don't get chapped?
Not really.
What?
[laughs]
I remember ... Oh, it was so terrible. We were ... When I was a kid, me and my dad were driving from Idaho to Minnesota, multi-day trip. And I don't know if I just didn't know what ChapStick was-
I wish I could have met the legend that is Papa Wilt.
Papa Wilt? Yeah.
That, that would've been so cool.
He was pretty awesome. But I, I think I'd never, like, heard of ChapStick, and my lips got chapped, and they hurt really bad. And I don't know if I just didn't tell my dad or he just wasn't listening to me, but I think I went, like, two days with the most painful, horrible [laughs] chapped lips before somebody finally got me, like, Carmex or something, which is-
I-
... terrible ChapStick
... I think I've just lived with it.
[laughs]
Like, if my lips, like, crack, I'm like, "Okay, sure. They'll heal."
[laughs]
I'll put water on them. I don't know. [laughs]
Peaches, and the ladies like some nice soft lips, Peaches.
[laughs]
You don't wanna be coming at them with, you know, the ... looking like the, uh, Texas desert, you know, cracks.
Mine are like big fat fish lips, all right? [laughs]
[laughs] Yeah, you should give ChapStick a whirl, Peaches.
My mom calls my dad the, uh, the paper cut lips, and I got my mom's mouth. [laughs]
She calls him paper cut lips?
'Cause he, he doesn't have any.
Oh, 'cause he doesn't have any lips.
Yeah. [laughs]
Oh, gotcha. I thought his were like yours, just all cracked up.
Oh, no.
[laughs] It looks like they were covered in paper cuts. [laughs]
[laughs] There's nothing there. It's just, like, two, like, two lines.
[laughs]
He used to have this mustache, my dad, and he used to have, like, this, uh ... It was blonde. And, uh, me and my sister both said it was green. You know, like, in third grade-
[laughs]
... they have you describe your parents with, like, different adjectives. Like, that was a thing, that we got handed this, uh, this sheet, and I got into an, an in-depth argument with my third-grade teacher, Mrs. Cristiano. Um, she's, she's awesome. S- she's friends with me on Facebook.
[laughs]
Her family was featured on, uh, Kitchen Nightmares.
Oh, really? [laughs]
Yeah, it was, uh, Dino's Kitchen in Long Beach. Her brother's the one that goes, "My name's Nino!"Oh, that, that, that whole episode?
I haven't seen that one. [laughs]
Oh, it's hilarious. They made a whole T-shirt about it. But I was arguing with Ms. Cristiano 'cause she thought, she knew my dad's hair was brown.
Yeah.
The, the horseshoe.
The horseshoe, yeah.
She knew it was, she, she knew it was brown, and I'm like, "It's jet black!" [laughs]
[laughs]
I'm screaming at her, like, "It's jet black, I swear!" Like a third-grade Brendan screaming at a teacher.
Well, I've gotten in those kind of, uh, arguments as an adult.
But I think I described my dad's mustache as seafoam green. [laughs]
Seafoam green. [laughs]
And now looking at mine, I'm like, yeah, mine's blond like his.
It's... No, it's seafoam green, Pete. It's-
It's seafoam green
... [laughs] nice green mustache.
Maybe I should cut out the rest of the beard and just have the mustache.
You should. It, it'd be hilarious.
It's gonna look so weird.
It would be hilarious.
It would look bad. I'd look like Will Sasso.
[laughs]
But the problem is he's 50, and I'm, [laughs] I'm supposed to be in the prime of my life.
And then let the, the hair grow back in a little bit more too.
Oh, God. [laughs]
[laughs]
Go for the, uh, Dr. Phil?
Yes, [laughs] exactly. [upbeat music]
I feel like, Victor, we're gonna make a bunch of, uh, punk fans upset with what we're about to talk about because we've been accused of not playing enough punk here on, uh, K-Bear 101. Um-
Yeah, listen to Alt 101. You want more punk?
I mean, we should be playing some more punk here and there, I feel like.
I mean, uh, well, we, we've got a good amount in, but the hardcore punk scene, they wanna hear a bunch of underground, like, crappy-sounding punk like the Misfits, you know? No offense, Misfits fans. [laughs] The recordings are terrible.
Ar- aren't, aren't they, like, super old, too?
They are super old.
I mean, most of their fans are probably dead now, so.
Yeah, so, you know, um, the underground punk, it's, it's kind of like black metal. It just sounds bad.
I, I saw somebody complaining on Reddit, by the way, about how, like, metal nowadays is overly produced. I'm like, no, I like it.
I like it.
I like having that chunky bass and that-
Mm-hmm
... deep guitar tone and those drums that sound amazing, like a machine gun.
Yeah. You can go listen to Black Sabbath, okay? If you wanna hear some old-school mixing. [laughs]
Go listen to some, uh, Behemoth or Emperor if you wanna [laughs] have, like, that-
Yeah
... that cave feeling.
Throw on In Justice for All, all right?
Oh, yeah.
There you go.
Had really bad production there.
[laughs] Exactly. I wish things sounded like garbage like they did back in the day.
[laughs]
But we pulled up a list of the top twen-... Rolling Stone's just churning out lists left and right.
I wonder which writer they're telling, like, "Hey, put out an- another list here."
Right.
"Like, we need, we need clicks."
[laughs] We need clicks, make a list, and the, the poor guy's gotta come up with 100 of them. But we'll do the top 20 punk albums of all time.
Number 20 is a, is an album that we play, we play a bunch of songs from this album.
Okay. Um, is it a Green Day album?
Yeah.
Dookie?
Yeah, you're right.
Dookie.
Dookie is number, uh, number 20.
Wow, what a good guess.
Bikini Kill, Reject All-American at number 19.
Okay. I'm not t-... See, I'm not super familiar with, like, everything in the punk scene. I used to go to Warped Tour all the time. I'd hang out with the punks, but I didn't, I didn't listen to tons of it. Yeah.
I would listen to Bad Religion and be like, "Wow, all these songs sound exactly the same."
[laughs]
Rise Against, the same thing.
[laughs]
I don't know what it is about punk, but sometimes I'm like, "Okay, that's, that's enough. That, that's enough." I don't wa-
That happens, happens to me with extreme metal, too.
Yeah, me too. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I was just talking about it yesterday with the Lorna Shore show that I went to with Aborted and, uh, uh, Of Sulfur, AngelMaker, Body Snatcher. It was five different [growls] bands that just, it gets so annoying after a while.
Oh, yeah. Dude, I, try going to, like, uh, well, Milwaukee Metal Fest.
Oh.
I went to the California version of that. It was two days, all day.
Like, please-
All day
... I just want some Dua Lipa. That's all I want.
[laughs] Yeah, exactly.
Something.
[laughs] We were not listening to any metal on that ride back. We were like, "We've had enough."
Can I say this, uh, this band name, the, the, The Buzzcocks?
Um, well, I, I think people will know what you're talking about, so.
Singles: Going Steady at number 18, that album.
Okay. I'm not familiar with it.
Uh-
Not familiar with it
... The Bad Brains' self-titled album, 17. And we're just gonna go down the top 20 here.
Yeah, just the top 20. Just the top 20.
Uh, did, should we just go to the top five?
[laughs] Let's go top five. Uh, Randy Bly of Lamb of God was, you know, saying B- that Bad Brains album was, like, the best album of all time, so maybe I need to listen to it.
You got Black Flag, Damaged, at 11.
Okay.
You got The Clash, London Calling, one of the most essential albums of all time, at number 10.
Okay.
Nirvana, Nevermind at nine.
Now wait a minute.
Nirvana? I would not call Nirvana a punk band.
It-
Like, they might have some punk elements here and there.
The explanation says, " 'Punk rock should mean freedom,' Kurt Cobain said in an interview just as he was becoming alt-rock's self-canceling messiah. He loved the Raincoats and Black Flag, and he loved Black Sabbath and Aerosmith, too. Nevermind went off like a grenade in the American mainstream, turning junior high dances into mosh pits with music that embodied Cobain's dream of punk rock that the metal kids he grew up around in rural Washington could love."
So because Kurt Cobain liked punk, they're gonna call Nirvana a punk band.
On songs like In Bloom, Breed, and Territorial Pee, I'm not gonna say the rest of that [laughs] title there-
[laughs]
... he took the, uh, punishing sludge of the Pacific Northwest underground rock scene and made it into something relentlessly catchy, powerfully opaque, and weirdly empathetic. And the guy who wrote this article goes by the name of JD.
JD?
[laughs] Yeah.
JD, shame on you.
[laughs]
Nirvana is not a punk band. I, I don't care. They, didn't they basically, uh, spearhead or, like, they made grunge blow up? That's what Nirvana is, is a grunge band.
Well, I think it, there's multiple people on this article, 'cause the next one comes from DW, and I don't believe that's, uh, Arthur's sister.
[laughs]
Uh, number eight is The Stooges' Fun House.
Okay, punk. There you go.
Uh, you have-
Sure
... you have the Sex Pistols. Never mind the bollocks, here's the Sex Pistols at seven.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Legendary punk album-
Uh-
... for sure
... Wire, Pink Flag. You got Sleater-Kinney, Dig Me Out, at five.
Okay.
You have The Clash, their self-titled album, at four.
Uh-huh.
The Minutemen, Double Nickels on the Dime at number three.
Haven't heard, haven't heard that.
X-Ray Spex, Germfree Adolescents, at two. That came out in 1978.
Wow.
And then what would you expect number one to be, Victor?
It's, like, The Ramones, huh?
You're right. The Ramones, The Ramones.
Yeah.
1976.
Yeah. Easy guess.
"I want a piece of David." Oh, I mean-
Yeah
... "I wanna be sedated."
And we play The Ramones on K-Bear. We play, uh, you know-I know that, uh, Green Day would be like, "Oh, that's mainstream pop punk," or whatever, but it- Green Day is definitely more punk than Nirvana.
Where's my Sum 41?
It, it's on the list somewhere.
Where's my Rise Against? You know what? I'll, I'll, I'll control F Sum 41.
Yeah, see if you can find some.
They're not on the list.
Not on the list?
No. Rise Against, not on the list either.
Maybe, maybe pop punk doesn't cut it? How would you have Nirvana on there but not one of those bands? I don't know. Rolling Stone, man, their lists do not make any sense.
Again, I'm just, I'm just shocked they didn't have Aretha Franklin at number one.
[laughs] I know.
They always seem to just, like, bow down to the almighty Aretha for no reason at all.
Rolling Stone loves Aretha Franklin.
I, I was reading here from, from the Ramones, Blitzkrieg Bop, of course, you know?
Mm-hmm.
I, I first heard that song in Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, the movie.
[laughs]
When I think all the parents get abducted by aliens-
Oh
... and all the kids take over.
Well, and, uh, nothing screams punk rock like-
"Hi. Oh, let's go"
... like being in a Jimmy Neutron movie. [laughs]
Fun, fun fact, the drummer was, like, 6'6". If you look at the picture of them-
Oh, really?
... they're all, they all look kind of, you know... All the rest of them are, like, even with each other, then you have that one freak in the back. [laughs]
So it's like when we take pictures with you.
Yeah. [upbeat music] Wrapping up the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, and I, I go on TikTok from time to time. I should be uploading a whole lot more to the KBARA 101 TikTok account.
Me-
KBARA 101 FM
... me too. Me too.
Um, I just, I, I, I haven't had the time. I've been too busy selling all of my crap. [laughs]
Yeah.
So I might do an apartment tour of like-
[laughs]
... "Hey, here's my futon, and here's my Howard Stern book on the coffee table," and that's it.
You should do Cribs for, [laughs] for TikTok.
All right, guys-
Once you get rid-
... this is what radio gets you in 2026.
[laughs]
You guys ready to enter this 900 square foot piece of crap? I mean, peach of crap.
[laughs]
[laughs]
It is just all empty.
Just dox myself. I mean, what are they gonna steal?
Yeah. Well, and-
The air out of my place? [laughs]
... you don't have to show them the outside, just the inside. You know?
[laughs]
You don't have to give away the location.
It's gonna be the saddest thing ever.
I know. It'll be hilarious.
[laughs]
"Check out my dining area."
[laughs]
Matty, can you come over with the camera? [laughs]
[laughs]
What was I gonna talk about? Oh.
You were, you were talking about TikTok.
Yeah. So these videos keep popping up of this one lady who keeps harping on the fact that there's this, uh, propeller room, um, uh, uh, uh, as, as part of the Queen Mary exhibit.
Oh, okay.
I don't know if you've ever seen this propeller. If you're a, uh, if you're afraid of man-made things in water-
Mm-hmm
... like, that's submechanophobia.
Yeah.
And, uh, it's a giant propeller, and it gives me the heebie-jeebies every time-
Does it? [laughs]
... I look at it. Oh, yeah. It freaks me out. Anything underwater, I can't.
Huh.
I can't do.
Interesting. Interesting.
Yeah, like, uh, anything
even, like, slimy too, like, even trying to touch stuff in a touch tank, I'm like, "Ugh."
Yeah.
I kinda... But this propeller is as big as this room.
Oh, my gosh.
And it's attached to the Queen Mary, obviously.
Okay.
And it's, uh, you, you just peek into it. I'll, I'll show you a picture.
Yeah. Show me a picture. 'Cause-
They used, they used to have a diver, like, a fake diver on the propeller, but it freaked so many people out-
[laughs]
... that they just stopped it. And I think what happened back in the day is that when it was, uh, sailing across the ocean or whatever, um, people died by falling off and getting chopped up by that propeller.
Oh.
So you see this, like, murderous propeller [laughs] that's just-
[laughs] That is awesome
... massive. Here.
[laughs]
Hold on. Propeller room. And it's dark and creepy. They have it lit with a blue light, like-
Oh, to make it extra creep- oh. Yeah, that's, that's kinda creepy, for sure.
And you, you, you basically walk in, and there's a railing, and-
Oh
... you have that feeling of like-
Yeah, I don't like-
... you're gonna be, like, leaping over that railing and falling into it too.
Yeah, I don't like the look of that, when you had the picture further out with the railing.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah. I, I might not like things underwater either.
The Queen Mary is one of the most haunted places, uh, in America.
I actually watched a YouTube video recently where someone was, uh, showing their, you know, their stay on the Queen Mary. Isn't, isn't it a hotel now?
Yeah. I mean, I've been there plenty of times. They also do this thing called Dark Harbor every Halloween-
Yeah
... where they, uh, will do these mazes throughout the entire place. My dad and my sister go every year.
Right on. Have you stayed on the, the boat?
No. I'm, I'm-
Okay
... I'm deathly terrified of haunted places.
Oh, are you?
Oh, yeah. I, I tell you all the time, like, I'm the guy that, like, if I watch a horror movie and then I turn the lights off, I gotta sprint to my bedroom.
Okay. So do you believe in, like, cursed objects and all that stuff? Would you-
Not really cursed objects. I believe, like,
ghosts kinda do exist.
Do you think they attach themselves to things, or they're just roaming?
I think they're just roaming.
Okay. 'Cause Zak Bagans' haunted museum, he says that the museum itself is haunted.
Well, I've gone to the Whaley House in San Diego, and one of the tour guides was kind of like, "Yeah, sometimes, uh, after work, I'll go home, and one of my lights starts flickering. I'm like, 'Okay, come on.'" She, like, said the name of the ghost, and she would drive back to the Whaley House and be like, "You gotta stay here." And then she would go back to her apartment, and nothing would blink at all.
Hmm. Well, I know Zak Bagans said, you know, you had to say, "Hello, Peggy. Goodbye, Peggy" to Peggy the doll, or she would, uh, I don't know, do something bad to you, something like that.
I feel like he's just trolling at this point.
I think he is. I mean, the, the production of this place was really cool. They... You know, it had the right mood, a little bit of fog to it. It's all dark. It was, it was awesome. But
some of the times, you know, they'd have a screen pop up, and he's babbling. I'm like, "All right. Come on, dude." 'C- 'cause I, I think I told you about the doll, that he's like, "I will never look at this doll again, but you can go around the corner and look at it." And, uh, you know, only about half our tour group did. I went and looked at it 'cause, like, it's a doll, [laughs] you know? And, uh, it w-
it was, like, really, uh...
What's the word I'm looking for here?
Uh, nerve-wrecking? Uh-
No. Not, it was not scary. It was underwhelming.
Oh, okay.
It was very underwhelming. You can Google it. It's called Noma, N-O-M-A. The Noma doll. But they did say even looking at pictures of it could get you cursed, peaches.
I'm looking at it here. It looks like one of those creepy, like, just dolls that was, uh, in my grandma's house.
Yeah. It was just a cruddy little doll.
Imagine be- like, being a kid in the 1950s. You had to play with that.
Dude, yeah. It would suck. We have, we have-
Cabbage Patch Kids and-
No video games.
No.
[laughs]
Lincoln Logs. [laughs]
Yeah, dude. Lincoln Logs. Fantastic.
Tinker Toys.
[laughs] It would've sucked to live back then.
Oh, I'm glad that we... I grew up as a Nintendo GameCube boy.
Heck yeah. I know all these people, "I wanna get back to what it was like in the '50s." [laughs] Why? [laughs]
You gotta go to the diner to have a good time.
No. [laughs]
Your, your, uh, your car horn sounds a little bit like this. [horn honking]
Exactly. [laughs] [upbeat music] 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. [upbeat music]
