[upbeat jazz music] The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast
Yo, it's the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. What up, Peaches?
Was that your audition for a hip-hop station? What was that?
Yo. Yeah.
Geez.
What up, Peaches?
[laughs]
What's happening?
Peaches, yeah, yeah, yeah-
That's right
... in the morning.
Peaches making people, some people, frustrated online.
A very few amount of people.
Yeah. If you've never been to Idaho Falls, there's a, uh, Catholic church, I believe it's a Catholic church, at the corner of 17th and Woodruff. And
I think anybody who's seen it thinks, "Oh, it would be fun to slide down that or ride a bike down it or maybe skateboard."
There's a church by my old middle school back in, uh, Los Alamitos where i- if you look at it, it, it, it's certainly a ramp. Like, it goes way down and even has the, the curvature to launch someone.
Wow.
This one's partial.
Partial. And if you did this, you would die.
Obviously.
[laughs] Like, you would die if you tried to slide down this church. But Peaches photoshopped... Well, you didn't even Photoshop it, did you?
I just used ChatGPT.
Yeah.
That's it
Made a, made a image of a skateboarder going down the side of the church.
And he's not even going down. He's going up it.
Oh, he's going up it?
Yeah.
I didn't even notice that. So tried to post it in the Life in Idaho Falls group. It would've been a popular post there, but apparently I can't have fun in the Life in Idaho Falls group.
I think those admins, they must've been paid off by a certain somebody to avoid all of our posts.
Maybe so.
Or maybe I just irritated them with the, uh... I mean, what I posted recently was great community service.
Yeah.
Talking about, like, you can't turn right on a red arrow.
Yeah. No, it's good information to get out to people. Stop accidents, things like that.
And I posted about that twice, and it became very popular within that group.
Yeah.
Before that, I posted... What did I post about? 'Cause there was some- there was something else. Something... I don't know. It was something worthwhile, too. It was-
Yeah
... like, my posts in there have been nothing but... They've, I mean, I followed the rules, all that stuff.
Maybe they thought you were encouraging people to try this dangerous activity.
No. Of course not.
But you can look at it and tell it's fake, 'cause the guy is, he's really big. [laughs] You know, in comparison to the size of the building, the guy is really big.
[laughs]
So it's just a silly picture. They didn't post it. But you posted it on your own page, and it blowin' up.
Yeah.
That's a popular post. Nicely done, Peaches. Yeah, I mean, I wonder if anybody has ever tried to slide down the side of that and has died.
Uh, there's a Short that Josh shared in m- in the comments section-
Mm-hmm
... where it's some guy actually skating down the side of a different church made by the same architecture-
Oh, really?
... or architect.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay. So I guess if you were skilled enough, you might be able to pull it off, but it looks incredibly dangerous.
[laughs]
Don't try this, anybody. Okay? It's kinda like, uh, have you seen the Holter Arena in Poke?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
The giant white-looking tent?
Yeah. Like, that always looked like it'd be fun to slide down the side, too, but I would imagine you'd pick up so much speed [laughs] and just smash into the concrete and die. [laughs]
[laughs] It's the best way to go out, though. I mean, right by a church. When you, you're literally... Uh, I mean, uh, no, here's the thing. With this church, like, there was a lot of people laughing at it. Some people thought it was real.
Yeah.
Plus, there was a few people that were like, "That's so disrespectful."
How is it disrespectful?
And I, I was leaving some pretty horrible responses to them.
Oh, my goodness.
Telling them to shut up and all that. [laughs]
It's not disrespectful, okay?
No, it's just a bunch of old people that are just, you know, "Oh, I, I can't believe it. You..."
[laughs]
If you're, i- if I, if I see the birth year 1960 or before, I just, you know, say forget about it. They'll be g-
You're just like, "Done, Boomer. Done."
They'll, they'll, they'll be gone soon anyway.
[upbeat jazz music] It's the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. I'm Victor.
I was scrolling, uh, r/confession again, and I saw a story about how this guy has been stealing from self-checkout for the past five years.
[laughs] Oh, geez.
But then I found an even better one. "Pretended to be my dad's ghost and may have inadvertently saved my brother's life."
Okay.
[laughs]
Let's, uh, hear more.
This guy says, "My dad died when I was 13 and my brother was 15. A few weeks or months after his death, I got this weird urge to pretend to be his ghost so that my mom and brother would feel c- uh, comforted."
[laughs]
I'm like-
Ooh. [laughs]
[laughs] I just imagine, like, the white sheet. [laughs]
[laughs]
"My brother and I both had the same brand stereo, and so both of our remotes were interchangeable, and there was a crack between his door and frame that allowed me to control his stereo from outside the door with my remote. So I got the idea to tiptoe up to his door one night and play my dad's favorite song, Stand By Me by Ben E. King, on his stereo. I'd gone into his room earlier that day to check the CD to see which number the track was. So I [laughs] I do it three or four times in a row, then go to bed. He doesn't mention anything the next day, and I pretty much forgot about it until about 15 years later when my brother and I started talking about depression and suicide one day." [laughs]
Oh, geez.
This took a dark turn. All right. [laughs]
That's okay.
"He confesses that he almost, uh, ended it right after, uh, d- dad passed away. I asked him what had pulled him back, and he looks me dead in the face and says, 'Well, um, it was that song. When Stand By Me all of a sudden started playing...'"
Wow.
[laughs]
So sometimes being a prankster, you, you can do some good. Yeah, I'll, uh, on our next break, I, I don't know if I wanna give it away, but hopefully nobody's paying attention. Uh, I helped Becca get a, a prank device that she's been having some fun with, and I'll, I'll, I'll tell you about it in a minute, Peaches.
Oh, I, I had a great thing back when I was, uh, when I was a kid. Uh, I was... [laughs] I pranked my sister along with my dad and my mom. We all three teamed up on my sister. We used, uh, one of those m- machines where the lights turned o- when the lights turn off, mosquito sounds start playing.
Oh.
And we ha- thought Bailey was screaming her head off by the end of it because of the whole-
[laughs] Oh, gee
... thing. Yeah.
That's not very nice. [laughs]
My dad acted like, "Oh, I think I got 'em. Oh, okay, now time to go to bed. Good night."
[laughs]
Turns the lights off. Zzz.
[laughs]
"They're still in here."
This is the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. What's up, Peaches?
Oh, nothing much. You, uh ... What, what's this, uh, prank device?
All right. I, I kinda don't wanna give it away, but hopefully nobody's listening that might end up being pranked by it. So Becca always sends me these, you know, prank videos where people will be, like, in the grocery store, and then they just fart real loud. You know, they got a fart machine, and they just go around bothering people, you know, farting in, like, people's faces and things like that.
I've seen the one where this guy, this old man, gets really upset because the dude fake farts on his wife, who's in a scooter.
[laughs] I think I saw that one too.
And his, and this old man goes, "What are you doing?" Starts punching him.
[laughs] So she-
It's always old people
... she thinks those videos are just hilarious. So the other night, um, you know, I didn't tell her, but I ordered her a fart machine, and it showed up yesterday. I don't know if I've ever seen her so happy. [laughs]
[laughs]
She was so excited for this fart machine. So, you know, we ... I even took batteries out of my, one of my electric guitars, you know, from my active-
Why sacrifice that?
Yeah. Took batteries out of my active pickups 'cause I couldn't find another battery around the house. And we ran over to Maverick, and she had it just in her hoodie pocket and just kept pushing the remote button. [laughs]
[laughs]
Just, like, fartin' it up in the store. It, it, it was just so funny. So she took it to work today, and she taped it underneath one of the chairs. [laughs] And-
Remind me to never go there with you guys-
[laughs]
... 'cause I know I'll be the first victim.
[laughs] And I haven't seen any videos yet, but she had mes- I, 'cause it's probably hard to film people and not have them go, "Why are you filming me?"
Well, I mean, you could use the security footage if you ha- if you have access to that.
Oh, yeah. Th- yeah, that's true. They d- they do have, uh, security cameras in there. Um, but I'm hoping she gets some funny video. 'Cause she said she's been getting people with it, and she's just laughing all day. And it makes, like, I don't know, 15 different fart sounds.
Watch it piss off the wrong dude.
[laughs]
One guy actually gets very upset, starts screaming at her.
[laughs] It could happen. But, um, yeah. I just, I was happy to bring her some joy, the joy of a fart machine.
I was about to say, wait till we have, like, a band or a in, in-studio guest.
[laughs]
But then I'm thinking the next in-studio guest would probably be, you know, uh, Frank for, for the-
Oh [laughs]
... for the, uh-
For the 4th of July
... for the 4th of July. [fart] [laughs]
[laughs]
You're like, "You hear that? The fireworks are already going off, buddy."
[fart]
[laughs] [upbeat jazzy music] This is the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. I'm Victor.
So I was, uh, slightly inspired yesterday ... By the way, I'm Peaches, if you can't tell already.
That's Pete.
[laughs] Um, I, I was slightly inspired yesterday to try to call in to the wrap-up show on the Howard Stern Channel-
Okay
... and talk to Baba Booey himself, Gary Dell'Abate, and, and John Hein, who host that show. They were talking about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, 'cause every-
Okay
... old guy cares about that crap for some reason.
Ah, it's not rock music.
Right.
Meh.
Yeah, yeah. So they were talking all in depth about it. And I kinda wanted to ask Baba Booey, like, "Hey, do, have you guys heard of these, uh, newer bands like Sleep Token, Bad Omens?"
Yeah.
So their phone number is very, very, very weird. It's 833-STERN-SHOW. And when you-
Oh
... type that in, it doesn't fit-
Yeah
... the correct amount of numbers you need for a phone number, but it still works.
Okay.
It's a super long thing.
[laughs] All right.
So, uh, so I, I called, rang a whole bunch, never got an answer.
Yeah.
Plus I was like, maybe they'll screen my call. And I, I, I ... I'm, I was already recording the call, so I'm sure the audio ... I think when you, uh, record a call, it always tells the other person.
Yeah.
I even, like, somehow was able to do it before they even picked up, but I was afraid even when they did pick up, all of a sudden, it'd be like, "Recording in progress" or something like that.
Yeah.
But I just saw how Eddie Trunk just posted.
Oh, boy.
Um, we should call in to his show. "There will be news announced today at the start of my show related to a classic rock band at 3:00 PM Eastern Time, right when I sign on."
Okay. So that'd be at 1:00 our time. And, uh, wow, what exciting news could there be about a classic rock band?
I, I have ... I swear he's talked about this topic multiple times. It says, "So we are suspending bands that should've been huge to cover."
Okay.
"Also, the founding member of the band will be live exclusively to discuss."
Hmm. Sounds exciting, Peaches.
Yeah.
I mean, when I hear that there's big breaking news on a classic rock band, I just can't wait, you know?
[laughs] Someone commented, "Can't we just suspend bands that should've been huge?"
[laughs] Yeah, there you go. Maybe they weren't huge for a reason, Eddie.
"Play that topic." I see another one here.
[laughs] Even if, even his comments section's full of people being rude to him.
No, yeah.
[laughs] He's just ... He's gotten to be so smug and annoying this, uh-
"This topic is clinging on more than your hairline."
Oh.
[laughs]
Peaches with the diss. [laughs] Yeah. I, I think I've only gotten through on national radio shows, like, a couple times. It's, it's pretty hard to get through, but maybe we'll have to start trying to call other ones. You know?
I mean, that's the, the perfect way to prank call, I feel like.
It's the only way we can do it.
Right. Exactly.
'Cause-
'Cause I, I saw an old post that you made. I've ... Every time you search Kaber 101 on Facebook, it brings up posts from years ago.
Yeah, for some reason.
And, and you posted something. I forgot exactly when, but you posted something about the, the, the prank calls, about how they're all fake.
Yeah.
And one person's like, "I hear other radio shows do them all the time."
Yeah.
Like, the, uh, your, your advice just went through one ear, out the other.
I know. Like, yeah, you can hear them, but they're fake.
Yeah.
[laughs] Yeah.
Like, "This week's phone scam. Check it out."
Yeah. I, I wasn't saying they're not out there. I was just saying they're fake. 'Cause they are. It's against the law. It's against FTC regulations to put someone on the radio without first telling them, "Hi, I'm a radio host. I'm gonna put you on the radio."
And I can guarantee you at the weird times that we broadcast, especially with your show, when a morning show does, like, a War of the Roses segment-
Ugh
... nobody's picking up their phone at 7:45 in the morning, especially from a random number. And then when somebody call ... If, if, if you get that person that answers, they're gonna, uh, know right away that you're faking it.
Yeah.
If you-
Dude, if some- and if anyone called me at 7:45 AM, I'd be furious. [laughs]
[laughs]
Why are you calling me at this hour? Uh, aside from if I'm doing the morning show. Like, Saturday morning, you call me at 7:45, you're gonna get yelled at.
I, I might do it.
[laughs] No, don't call me.
You called me one time to say, "Hey, good night Pr- good night, Peaches," or something like that.
[laughs] Yeah, I did.
At, like, 8:30.
[laughs]
I'm gonna call you at 8:30 in the morning. "Good morning, Victor."
[laughs] Good morning, Victor. Hey. No, it is a fun thing to do to your friends, just call them, like, you know, it's ... 'Cause it's kinda awkward. Just call your dude friends.
[laughs]
Be like, "Hey, just wanted to call and tell you good night."
Better yet- [laughs]
And they're like, "What?"
I, I have a whole bunch of, uh, tour managers in my phone-
Oh, geez
... from previous concerts.
[laughs]
I'll just call all of them alphabetically.
[laughs]
"Good night, buddy."
