[upbeat music] The noon hour of madness and mayhem, the podcast.
Victor, I think everybody from my old college radio station, Titan Radio, unfollowed me on Instagram.
Well, screw 'em. [laughs] That's what I'd say.
They're a bunch of hippies anyway.
Well, yeah, it sounds like a... Titan Radio.
Listen, connect, express.
Yeah. Yeah, I, I don't give a crap when people unfollow me. I'll see 'em pop up all the time on People You Might Know and I'm like, "Oh, screw that guy then."
[laughs]
Yeah? F- fine.
Name them right now on the air.
I will. I'll go through my People You Might Know and we'll just call 'em all out by name. I don't care if you unfollowed me.
I was sitting in here wondering what happened to one of my classmates, and so I looked up his name on Instagram. His, uh, Instagram account didn't pop up, but a video of him, uh, giving a tour of the, uh, Titan Radio Station in the-
Mm-hmm
... in the, in the basement of the library at Cal State Fullerton. He was giving aw- giving out this tour virtually on Instagram, and I noticed the one poster that was missing was the one I put up of AC/DC.
Oh, they just tore it down, huh?
Yeah, all the others that, that have been up there for the past, I don't know, w- w- how many years ago is 2018, seven?
Hmm, it's probably 'cause you moved on to a real radio station-
Yeah
... and they're like, "Well, screw him then." [laughs]
Well, he didn't, I didn't have eclectic taste like them, you know?
No, mm-mm.
They, they would, they would play these, uh, indie bands-
Yeah
... that nobody's ever heard of, which is way worse than a metal elitist.
Oh, yeah.
When he meets an indie music elitist.
Oh, yeah. Indie, indie turds, yeah. You, you get it.
They wear those Birkenstocks and they have those stupid mustaches and they smell of, like, natural deodorant-
Ah
... and their sweat.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Yeah, I, I don't, uh, use antiperspirant. I just sweat and smell like pine.
Sometimes those men wear skirts. You're like, "What are you doing?"
[laughs]
"What's going on here?"
California, man. California radio. Uh, yeah.
Uh, barely.
Well-
It's an internet radio station, so it's-
Yeah, they suck
... like, it's a, it's a way for students to express themselves and you should really hear [laughs] some of those shows they do on Titan Radio.
[laughs] I'll bet they're great.
I think there was one time when I first started here that I would prank call them. I would, like, listen for the worst possible radio show 'cause I would look at their schedule, and I would just listen for the worst possible DJ who just couldn't handle being on the air. And then I would call them repeatedly till they finally answered. [laughs]
[laughs] Well, good. You know, you gotta be like our listeners. Just let those phones ring. Eventually we'll pick up, we swear.
Yeah, exactly, exactly. Well, I- I made something, speaking of our listeners. I made a, uh, AI track again.
Oh, boy.
Should we play this one or should we-
Why don't we-
... wait for the next break?
Why don't we save it for the next break?
I just wanted to use this break to bash Titan Radio.
Okay.
'Cause I lo- I think there's only maybe, like, one or two people. One of the, one of the guys... Have you ever had someone that, like, was friends with you, and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, they just started, like, hating on you and they unfollowed you on everything-
Oh, yeah
... and you don't know what exactly you did wrong?
Yeah, and I, just like I said about your f- your supposed friends at Titan Radio, said, "Screw them!"
Yeah, it was weird. This one guy named Raymond, oh, he was just, like, super nice to me in the beginning. All of a sudden, some switch flipped and he hated me.
Hmm.
Unfollowed me on everything, kinda, he... I'm very hard to miss at a public gathering.
[laughs] What are you talking about?
I don't think you're aware of that.
Yeah, I can't spot you in an entire arena of people instantly.
There was a Titan Radio party thing that we were doing, and he was going around hugging everybody. He comes to me and kinda looks down and walks the other way. I'm like, "Dude, qui- how old are we?"
Yeah, you should've, uh, just punched him in the face.
I wish.
Oh, never- nevermind. Don't, don't just punch people, people.
Oh, there we go. There's the first complaint. K- Kay- radio, Victor on K-BEAR said for, uh, y- people to punch people if they don't like 'em.
[laughs] I didn't say it. I swear I was joking. [instrumental music plays]
So earlier, Victor, I was, uh, adding a whole bunch of station-alitys to ALT 101-
Mm-hmm.
Stuff I- I have not put in the system-
Yeah
... that involve movie quotes and different phrases Jade has, uh, provided me. And, uh, you know, ALT 101 got spiced up overall.
All right, about time, Peaches.
Yeah.
About time you do your job.
That's right, that's right. Well, um, as I was doing that, I was also, um, I was multitasking. Uh, I- I did another, uh, AI song creation.
All right, who's this one about?
Now, I was thinking about, of all the K-BEAR haters, I don't know where they've gone. They've kinda gone quiet on us.
Well, it's 'cause we don't care. [laughs]
Y- yeah, yeah.
I'm not gonna pay attention to K-BEAR hate unless I'm throwing the call out for it. I like when people will call and complain. Complaining on social media is, it's just not fun. You can do it on the radio and argue with us.
And then on Facebook too, like, you can't tell if it's a real person or if it's, uh, one of those AI generated profiles to-
Mm-hmm
... intentionally stir things up.
Oh, there's a lot of those.
Yeah.
There's a lot of 'em.
Absolutely.
For sure.
But, uh, yeah, I was just wondering where they've all been, because none of them have really said anything at all. Like, uh, there, there are people negative online all the time, but-
Usually if you don't give 'em the reaction they want, they'll just give up eventually. That's why I just say screw 'em and ignore 'em, or-
Or-
... if I have to, I'll block 'em.
That or you make fun of them.
Or, or, or that.
Yeah.
Now, you're not [laughs] gonna play a song that calls out listeners by name, are you?
No, not by name. [laughs] Not by name. [laughs]
[laughs] Okay.
That would be awesome. [laughs]
[laughs] It would be awesome. [laughs]
No, but I had, um, I had Suno make this, uh, this rap song complaining about people, uh, complaining about K-BEAR playing rap.
Okay, perfect.
And also various other complaints. And you know what the song's called?
Um, no.
The Cornball Hotline.
The Cornball Hotline. All right, I can't wait to hear it.
Now, the lyrics might be a little tough for you in a s- to understand 'cause it, it goes by a little fast.
All right, I'll do my best. And you know I can't understand anything anyway, but-
[laughs]
... I'll laugh, I'll pretend.
Okay, here we go.
Welcome back to K-BEAR 101, where the haters say they're done listening.
[laughs]
But somehow know every word we spun. Call in if you're angry or just keep typing like usual. Let's talk about the legends in the comment section. The brave few who can't handle a different opinion. The ones who swear they never listen, but recap the whole show down to the timestamp when Peaches told a joke they didn't know. They say, "You play the same five songs." So?
[hip hop music] While requesting them daily. Complain about new music like it personally betray them. Say they turn it off when Peaches talks dramatic as hell. But can quote the whole rant like they were under the spell. Then there's the sublime soldiers. Oh, Lord, they shake. One little joke from Peaches and they're emotionally baked. Writing novels on Facebook about respecting the band. Like Bradley Nowell is checking comments from the heavenly land. And don't forget the political patrol. They lose control. Victor breathes on air and they swear it's some liberal scroll. Stop pushing your agenda. Bro, we said Traffic on Fifth. Why you acting like he came at you with a manifesto riff? [laughs] The rap on the station sends them straight to the ER. Even though Linkin Park raised them like a stepdad in a car. Papa Roach been rapping since they wore chain wallets and plaid. But suddenly rap is evil now. Man, that's wild, that's bad. Then we got the metal purists, the high priests of aggression. Calling every normal band cornball with no discretion. Talking trash on radio hits from their basement throne. While their favorite bands monthly listeners couldn't fill a Jamba Juice zone. Bro, your top artist has 43 fans on Spotify. Please don't gate keep music like you certified to qualify. And the Cookie Monster vocals cry babies still appear. Complaining about Screams like they're allergic to fear. But when Slipknot drops, they're blasting it higher. Talking about real metal, bro, with tears in their eyes. Then they whine about locals saying, "You don't support the scene." While four bands play every Sunday like a routine. But they ain't listening to that, they're too busy online. Typing furious essays like they're writing for the Times. AI posting them spiraling like the end is near. Shouting, "This ain't authentic" with a cracked screen and beer. Meanwhile, their whole timeline is memes from '08. Talking about integrity while four Maiden looks like fake. Hm. They call the station screaming then slam the phone down. Like they just delivered justice to the entire town. Buddy, you yelled at a radio host from your Subaru seat. Then hung up like you won a championship feat. And you know the best ones? The ones who say they never listen at all. Yet know every lyric, every break, every call. K-BEAR 101 lives rent-free in their mind. Like a roommate they can't evict, stuck inside the spine. If you hate us so much, why you know every segment? Why you quoting Peaches like it's part of your regimen? Why you stalking Victor's playlists like you doing recon? Why you comments longer than a Tool outro gone wrong? You don't listen. [sighs] Sure, king.
[laughs] I like-
Thanks for the ratings though.
Keep crying, I'll cry more. I keep drinking, I'll drink more. Keep listening, I'll listen to your war. [laughs] That's, that's pretty good. That's pretty good.
Uh-oh.
Shout out to all the K-BEAR haters.
Jade is walking by the studio here.
Oh, another, another hater.
Another hater?
Yeah. Oh, what's up, Turd? How's it going? I gotta turn mic four on. That's why he's staying there. Yeah, you do have to turn mic four on. We'll give Josh mic two.
There we go.
I was just listening to Peaches' rap song about, uh, the K-BEAR haters. Oh. You know, our whiny listeners that supposedly don't listen. [laughs] Comment section commandos.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Had to play that for Josh prior to this.
[laughs] Good job, Peaches, good job. Thank you.
Alright, apparently it's a full house for the noon hour of madness and mayhem. I am Peaches.
Victor. Jade. Josh. You know if your name starts with J, you suck. [laughs] Wow. [laughs] Don't make me go get those batteries that I took apart and place them randomly for you. You took them apart? Yeah. Did what? There was four of them. Yeah, why did you take them apart? Keep that, you know, bomb bundled together, and I don't know what you need to do with them, but keep them away from me. Because then I have more opportunity to mess with you. There's four of them. Then get rid of them. Yeah, I want to. They're not safe.
Did you not hear what we-
Wherever you can find them.
Did you not hear what we have planned for next year? We're gonna put battery acid in the box.
Oh, what's in the box? [laughs]
[laughs]
Battery acid. I got, I got that already. [laughs] Victor, shake the box.
What's that sizzle?
Man, Jade's, Jade's trying to hurt me. He brought essentially an explosive into my office.
A Victor drink segment, all of sudden battery acid in the cup.
You're ready to inform him on how batteries work? Uh, no, I don't need to get all science-y on you. [laughs] You've watched too many videos about lithium batteries, though. They blow up. And these are not, these are not lithium batteries. Hey, I don't even know how magnets work, dude, so I don't- No one does.
[laughs]
No one does, so [laughs] how do you expect me to know how batteries work? Put water on it. No. [laughs] No. Not on batteries or magnets, I don't know. Help.
All right, now we're wrapping up the noon hour of madness and mayhem. I am Peaches.
I'm Victor Wilt. Jade Davis. And Josh Tyler. JS DN. JS DN.
Why do you play the next song when you jack off?
Essentially taking your jacket off. I don't know.
Get out of there.
Taco- tacos do sound pretty good.
[laughs]
Tacos are delicious. Listen, I, I got a zipper and buttons. [laughs] Oh, he's doing a dirty little dance in here. [laughs] That's not, that's crassy 97. Oh, is that right? Yes. [laughs] Can we tell you what idea we had for classy? I heard part of it on the air the other day, but I- Yeah. They haven't fulfilled that yet. Yeah, well, after, you know, Christmas is over, maybe to kick off the new year, they spend a month doing Crassy 97, where they're just foul, you know, very rude, say things that the classy audience may have never heard before.
Play some gangster rap, who knows?
Yeah. What do you think about Crassy 97? We'll see how long, uh, both of you have a job after that happens. This wasn't my idea. [laughs]
[laughs]
I'm not gonna be the one on air saying things that are crass. Yeah, it was your idea. You don't have to listen to me.
[laughs]
It's just a good idea. I think it would be fun. He said it, we don't have to listen to him. Play a song. Maybe could we become Crassy 97 for April Fools Day?
