[upbeat music] The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast
Well, it's a packed house in here for the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. I am Peaches.
I'm Victor.
Jade Davis.
FJ.
And, uh, Josh from Class E97 will be here in, in a minute.
Well, maybe.
Maybe.
He, he might be afraid.
He's gonna wuss out.
He does all the time when it comes to food challenges.
Yeah. Where, where did you get this from, Jade?
Well, from my buddy Dutch brought it over on the weekend, and it's Carolina Reaper popcorn, and it comes in a, a, a bag about the size of a cellphone.
Okay.
Um, and the challenge is to eat the whole bag.
Okay.
And I had a kernel.
[laughs] And that was enough?
It was enough.
Is that why you're bright red? [laughs]
[laughs]
Uh, that was, that was two days ago.
Still bright red.
Yeah. [laughs]
So there's a green one and a yellow one, and the green one's supposed to be hotter, and that's what I had.
Okay. Well, I ain't gonna be no wuss, so I'll eat a green one.
Okay.
But, uh,
what about the rest of you? What color are you going for?
I don't want heartburn. I'll go for yellow.
I'm going for a yellow one.
[laughs]
[laughs] While Josh gets the other one.
Josh gets a green one then.
Here, quick, quick, grab one, Jeff.
Yeah, you better-
Point is for not showing up on time.
Give me that middle sized one.
No, you can... You get the big one.
No, Josh gets it 'cause he took too long to get here. I'll take the middle sized one.
No, throw, throw away the tiny one then, 'cause I don't want Josh to be tempted to grab that one.
Oh, I'll eat that one.
Jade's gonna take the tiny one.
Okay.
Jade gets the little guy.
I've already suffered this, so.
All right. Well, we might as well-
But we, we, we gotta wait for Josh.
So-
Josh, hurry it up
... which might give you enough time to put this on Facebook Live so you can watch all the snot and spit come out of your face.
Is it gonna be that bad?
It was bad, dude.
No, it couldn't be.
Oh, boy.
It's just a little piece of popcorn.
Got water? I do. Okay.
All right. I've, I've got some water.
I filled mine up on the way down.
All right.
You got a fancy bottle there, Jeff. What is that?
I, I don't know. My neighbor gave it to me.
[laughs]
[laughs]
I do believe he found it in a dumpster.
Oh.
It was still in the box, so-
Dumpster juice
... I felt like it was good.
Heck yeah, dude.
[laughs]
All right, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go live in the KBER group, I guess.
I was gonna say, it's better to do it on the phone rather than just me sitting up these cameras in here for all of that.
Well, that would just... Yeah, it might take us a bit long. Okay. Where is the go live option?
There he is.
Devil's-
This room is a box of idiots
... Devil's Heat 3.0 challenge is what it is. The hottest peppers on Earth. How many Scovilles it is, Jade?
Do you know how many Scovilles it is, Jade?
Four million.
Four million. Oh, boy.
Four million. Okay.
How much was the, uh, the one chip?
Uh, I don't remember, but I know it was bad.
A little bit of pro- progress.
How do you flip the camera in this stupid-
Oh, actually this one might be the next one up.
Oh, boy. The, uh, the one chip was 1.5 to two million
... uh, the, this is the next one up. This is eight million Scoville.
Okay.
Oh, boy.
All right.
If I spit it out-
[laughs] If you... No, no spitting it out
... I'm gonna spit it out. I'm gonna... [laughs]
Nope. All right. Anybody just tuning in, we've got Carolina Reaper popcorn,
we got Josh Tyler, we got FJ, we got Peaches-
Hi
... and we got Jade Davis. Jade brought this here, and he's really hyping it up, so.
It was not pleasant.
All right. Let's find out.
All right.
Just a full kernel?
Yeah.
The flavor's fine. It's actually a pretty good flavor.
It's a little sweet at the beginning. Oh, there we-
Mm-hmm
... there it is.
[laughs] Just wait for it.
All right, I'm waiting. Tastes like Carolina Reaper.
Yep.
[laughs] Pineapple there.
Oh, I'm pointing this at the ground.
[laughs]
And J- Josh isn't having fun yet.
My quality
[laughs]
It's getting warm.
You know. That's just lame.
[laughs] Lame? As in not hot?
I mean, honestly. Like, it's hot. There's heat in here.
Yeah, it keeps-
And there's a lot. And it keeps-
It keeps coming
... it keeps building.
[laughs]
For sure. But this is-
Yeah, it's getting worse
... not the hottest, grossest thing I've ever had.
Mm. No.
I got the hiccups from it.
My ears are burning for some reason.
It gave me hiccups and, and a clogged ear.
Oh, cool.
[laughs]
It's getting bad for me now.
I got the hiccups.
[laughs]
[laughs]
Yeah.
[laughs]
He's already... That's his third drink.
Ah.
Fourth hiccup.
I think Victor's doing the worst.
[laughs]
I thought it was gonna be worse than that. Oh.
Yeah. It builds over time. But you got the yellow one.
Yeah.
Yeah, you guys had the yellow one.
Tastes like pineapple.
You got the yellow one?
Is the green one-
I got the yellow one
... worse?
The green's supposed to be hotter.
Yeah, it's not good.
I just got the hiccups real bad.
Not good at all.
[laughs] Not fun.
Why would you eat this for fun?
Why not?
On a road trip.
Yeah.
Road trip?
Yeah.
With no AC. Dude, I'd be sweating in the car. [laughs]
Yeah.
You just have some friends over for a movie, make some popcorn, throw those in there randomly.
I can feel it in my gut.
[laughs]
Look at your eyeballs, man.
[laughs] Get a better angle on him.
Great. Now Victor's gonna do a no-show tomorrow.
He's tearing up.
[laughs]
My tummy hurts.
Look at your, look at your tears, dude. Oh, he's glistening.
Dude.
Dude, you look like the Warheads logo.
I haven't touched my water yet.
I haven't either.
Come on, man. You're about out.
Oh, it's really bad now.
Wow. [laughs]
[laughs]
Ooh.
Jeff, you're doing pretty good. And Josh, you're doing pretty good, too.
I'm a- I'm all right. It's-
Yeah.
I mean, my tongue's a little vibrate-y.
[laughs]
Yeah.
Vibrate-y?
Yeah.
And hiccup-y?
I feel like my hiccups have passed.
I feel it in the tongue.
Victor looks like he's about to cry.
Yeah. He is.
[laughs]
[laughs]
He is weeping.
Ooh. Ooh.
Those are tears of pain.
Oh, yep, I see a tear.
[laughs]
[laughs]
[laughs]
Cue the I did that sticker.
Here, just rub your Carolina Reaper fingers into your eyeballs.
Hmm. Yeah, I'm glad you reminded me.
[laughs]
I need to wash my hands.
Whoo. [laughs]
All right.
Let's play a song. [upbeat music]
It is in fact still lingering.
If you missed out on the beginning part of this noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, we tried Carolina Reaper popcorn, and my mouth is still on fire.
Dude, that was way worse than I expected.
I truly don't understand why people decide to eat stuff that just causes you pain. Like, I like spicy food.
[sighs]
But I don't wanna have something that potentially kills my, my taste buds.
Yeah. My, uh, my guts hurt. My guts hurt, and, um-
Well, everybody get ready for, uh, uhNo morning show tomorrow morning. Victor will come in the next day and go, "I had some s- terrible stomach pain."
[laughs]
"I sat on the toilet all day."
[laughs] Well, geez, I can't believe that the challenge is to eat the whole bag of popcorn. 'Cause one piece of that green... You had the yellow.
One piece of green, I mean, it, it hurts.
I don't know what, what I'm gonna do for lunch now. I might just get something like, uh, maybe an ice cream bar.
Mm.
Something like that.
I wish I had some ice cream.
[laughs]
That'd be about perfect right now.
Well, I- we- me and Russell ate the, like, entire quart when we tried the One Chip Challenge.
Yeah. Yeah. This was, uh, was pretty bad for one piece of popcorn.
Well, while we're in pain, you wanna talk about, uh, something cringey here?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, Jade's back.
Oh, yeah. Let's speak of something cringey.
Are you still crying?
Yeah. [sniffs] [laughs]
[laughs] That's so sad.
No, it hurt, dude. Hurts me.
Yeah. [laughs]
So what cringey thing did you wanna talk about, please?
Uh, I thought about our next, uh, K-Bear promotion. I'm glad Jade's here, as a matter of fact. Did you see the latest post from Crappy Radio Jock?
Um, I don't know.
From Jammin' 107.7, they have-
Oh
... MILF, MILF Madness 2026. [laughs]
Yeah.
[laughs]
MILF Madness, dude. Yeah.
Now, it, it says-
[laughs]
... it's like March Madness but way hotter. Doesn't the NCAA get mad when people use March Madness?
I think so.
Yeah. Only if it's in a, a s- a paid sale, like advertisement. If you're just doing something and talking about it...
So this is a flyer for a promotion. Does it have a sponsor on it?
Yeah. Uh, no, it does not.
Ah.
If, if there was a sponsor, it'd be a problem. But it says, "Think you've got what it takes to be the MILF Madness champion?
Post your best pick below."
Ladies. [laughs]
I wonder what entries we would get. You know what? Let's do this for Z103, have Katie take a look at these pictures.
Yeah, yeah.
Replace Idaho's number one Baby Bump. Re- replace the, uh, Mama's Munchies. Have this happen.
[laughs]
[laughs]
MILF Madness. Come on, Jade.
Might as well do it on Klassik.
[laughs]
[laughs] It says the, the, the, the prize, though, is a trip to Las Vegas, the official MILF Madness crown, and ultimate bragging rights.
[laughs] I'm the biggest MILF in, in where?
[laughs]
Where is this from?
Jammin' 107.7. That is... It says here somewhere.
I'm gonna blow my nose again. I'm stalled.
[laughs]
Snot Madness. Jammin' 107.7. Where is this located at? Yammin'. Bradford, Rhode Island. Okay.
[laughs] The best MILF of Bradford, right? Right, Victor? [laughs]
[laughs] That's right. The hottest MILF in Bradford. [upbeat music]
All right, Victor, let me see your wallet.
[laughs] No.
Yeah, let me see the wallet. Come on.
It's-
What kind of wallet is it?
It's packed to the brim.
So it's, it's a typical trifold.
Yeah.
It's leather, right?
Yeah. It's a piece of crap. I need a new one.
I was, uh, pre-recording the last part of my radio show, 'cause you know I'm out of here at 5:00.
Yeah.
I try to tell listeners, "Hey, post 5:00 PM, I'm not here."
Mm-hmm.
"I'm going home."
Mm-hmm.
Um, I, I did a whole break about this on my show. This is my new wallet.
Well, it looks like a phone case.
It, it's a rodeo wallet.
Oh. Yee-haw.
I was trying to figure if this was a manly enough wallet, 'cause I talked about it on the break. The, the, this... It's, the, that's the weird thing when it comes to pre-recording a show, is that I pre-record these, uh, breaks, like, now.
Yeah.
And then they air around, like, 5:30, 6:00.
Yeah.
So I introduce the whole thing then.
Yeah.
But we're actually talking about something in the future-
Oh, okay
... now kind of thing.
I mean, I would assume if it's a cowboy wallet, it's manly.
It's manly, right?
Yeah.
Well, 'cause I, and I know a guy that, you know, he's one of those dudes where he wouldn't be caught dead in a minivan, 'cause that's not manly enough.
Okay.
He needs to drive his lifted Ford, kind of guy.
Okay. Yeah.
So he... Jeez, I still feel that popcorn in my mouth.
Dude, that popcorn was brutal.
Uh, he's, he has one of those, one of these kinds of wallets, and I was like, "Why is he carrying around a girl's wallet?" Like, he's, he's the type of dude to be like-
Ah
... "You can't drive with two whe- two arms on the steering wheel. You gotta have the one on top" kind of guy.
[laughs] Gotcha.
So I was, I was diving deep. I was overthinking this. I bought this for, like, 13 bucks at Ross.
Uh-huh.
And I was like, "Should I, should I buy this?" 'Cause I wanna have more room for cards. I want something different.
All right.
But then I was talking to Josh more about it, and I was like, I kinda wanna, like, be that guy that spends a good amount of money on a great wallet in, like, Jackson. Like, the same kinda style.
[laughs]
But I wanna say, "Oh, I got my fancy wallet from Jackson, Wyoming," and he's all like, "Well, you could buy it here, Peaches, for much cheaper."
Yeah. Yeah, dude. Uh, you could go spend a lot of money, I would imagine, on a wallet in Jackson.
But I, I can't say, like, "Oh, my wallet's from Idaho Falls." Like, that doesn't sound, you know-
Eh
... highfalutin enough.
Just say, "I picked it up at Vickers."
It's, yeah. [laughs]
There you go.
That almost sounds like a, something wrong there. [laughs]
[laughs]
The name of that store's a little... If you mess it up [laughs]
[laughs]
You might be in trouble.
[laughs]
Vickers Western Store.
Oh.
One of those places. You, you still, you doing okay?
Yeah, I'm still... My mouth still hurts from that, uh, popcorn. I'm kinda surprised.
Oh, I had a whole break planned with that whole MILF Madness thing. I wanted to talk about how we could potentially alter it for our show.
Mm.
You know, do the most misogynistic promo of all time. [laughs]
[laughs] MILF Madness is pretty close.
It, it's awful. It's awful.
[laughs]
But most radio shows, most radio stations across the country, they, they sort of do their own version. It's not even, like, their own version. They all do the same version where they make, like, '90s movies face off against each other. Vote for your favorite '90s movie.
Yeah.
In this Movie Madness. It's always something associated with madness.
Yeah, yeah.
What did you just open up over there? I heard that sound.
No, I ripped a piece off my phone case.
Oh.
[laughs] It was bothering me.
[laughs] Okay.
[laughs]
All right. What is going on today?
I don't know. It's one of those days. [laughs]
It's the noon hour of madness and mayhem. Our tongues are numb.
Mm-hmm.
We're, we're done. All right? We're almost done. We got one more break. [upbeat music] Well, again, this is one of those moments. Victor, what are you watching over there?
I didn't mean to watch anything. My phone just started making racket. [upbeat music] Why is it auto-playing audio? Oh, it was people dancing in front of Raising Cane's.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
They opened up today in Pocatello. I mean Chubbuck.
Yeah.
Is it Chubbuck?
Chubbuck.
Same, same thing.
Yeah, it's like Ammon. You know Ammon, Idaho Falls?
Right.
No difference.
Yeah, of course. And people, do people actually get upset by that?
Probably.Probably people who live in Ammon and Chubbuck
I felt like, uh, an In-N-Out hater for a little bit, uh, this morning when I saw those pictures of everybody hanging outside Raising Cane's-
Yeah
... the new location. Because they did promise, like, 20 people free chicken for a year, right?
Uh, maybe. I don't know.
Something was going on with that. It's something along the lines of that. And I was thinking, 'cause, you know, any time In-N-Out gets mentioned on, like, the Life In Idaho Falls Facebook group-
Mm-hmm
... people were, are so, so quick to go, "Overrated."
Yeah.
"I don't like it."
I saw-
But-
I saw some Raising Cane's comments like that.
But I, I did feel like that... I did feel that way about Raising Cane's, 'cause for me, chicken strips, chicken tenders, chicken nuggets, uh, they're, they're so overrated.
Yeah.
I, I can't eat with people who just only eat chicken tenders.
Yeah, I mean ch- Raising Cane's is good. You know, I've, I've had it once before, and it, it was good. They've got, you know, their special sauce, which is fry sauce or whatever.
The Cane's sauce, yeah.
Yeah, it's fry sauce.
They call it Cane's sauce, but yeah.
Yeah, you know, every place has their special sauce, and it's fry sauce. Um-
And people for some reason just hate on coleslaw for, uh, what? I don't know, but-
Coleslaw's good
It's good? Yeah, sure.
Yeah, it's great.
Yeah. I'll use their Texas toast to make a nice little sandwich.
Yeah.
Why not?
Yeah. It, it, it's fine enough. I mean, I wasn't about to barrel down to, uh, Poky today, you know, spend two hours on the road just to get some, uh, chicken strips.
Just to go to the most overcrowded place in Pocatello, I mean Chubbuck, right now?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I'll, I'll give it a couple weeks.
Oh, yeah.
You know?
I mean, Cafe Zupas, when that opened up here, it was beyond packed-
Yeah
... for soup and sandwiches.
Yeah.
That's it.
Dude, uh, well, Raising Cane's, chicken.
You know what? I-
It's like Chick-fil-A.
When-
Chicken
... when In-N-Out comes to this area, uh, uh-
Oh, yeah
... uh, but it's gonna be awful. I, I, I hate to say it, I, I won't be able to eat there for the first, like, eight months, 'cause it-
'Cause it'll be too packed?
It'll be so packed. Everybody on Facebook will be the first to complain, you know, it's overrated, garbage stuff. You know, they try to have that hot take.
Mm-hmm.
But the second it opens up, the day that it opens up, that drive-through is gonna be at least 10 hours long.
I just hope it isn't close to my house. [laughs]
You should see the location. We were in Twin Falls over the weekend.
Yeah?
Right, right across the bridge-
Okay
... is the new In-N-Out-
Okay
... coming to Twin Falls.
So everybody would go there too.
And there's already a Swig right there next to it, and so that Swig already has a bad enough drive-through as it is. When we pulled up, there was about 10 cars.
Oh, geez.
And that In-N-Out's right next to it.
Ah.
So that parking lot is gonna be awful.
Ah. Well, hopefully if we get one around here, they'll build with lots of space.
Well, I don't know-
And-
... 'cause, no. In-N-O- not In-N-Out, but, uh, people like to... They, they, let's just say they like to put businesses where they shouldn't be [laughs] overall.
[laughs]
I mean, I feel so bad, 'cause Grocery Outlet's now gone.
Yeah.
And everyone's saying, "Put a Trader Joe's there." They're not going to, 'cause that parking lot's too big for it.
Uh, [laughs] it's too big for Trader Joe's?
I went to the, I went to the Boise Trader Joe's.
[laughs]
That parking lot was awful.
Why do they always have the worst-
Dude
... parking lots ever?
You, you would've hated Boise on Saturday.
Oh, I'm sure.
There was the No Kings protest going on.
Okay.
So the Capitol Building's right there.
Oh, and it was packed, yeah.
And then the Treefort Music Hall was having some kind of festival.
Oh, that's right.
So all these hipsters were walking around Boise.
Yeah, dude. The-
They're taking over. [laughs]
Yeah, when Treefort Music Fest is happening, all of downtown, you might as well not be driving.
I gotta call Maddie and be like, "Hey, let's go to the In-N-Out's in Meridian and get out of this, uh, this area."
[laughs]
'Cause I went to Trader Joe's. Luckily, Trader Joe's was not packed, surprisingly enough.
Everyone was at Treefort.
Everyone... But Treefort was right next door.
[laughs] Uh-huh.
Like, there was no joke. So many dudes wearing Jesus sandals and, you know, the typical button-down tropical Hawaiian shirts.
Oh, yeah, dude. Yeah, Treefort's definitely a h- a hipster music fest.
Oh.
It's fun. It's fun. I, I like it. I used to go, uh, but now I never seem to have any PTO [laughs] during... 'Cause it's on, uh, weekdays, I think.
But yeah, it is. Yeah. But for Boise, I mean, for Boise overall, I, I saw a lot of different businesses. It felt like home to me, and I'm like, "I wish we had a lot of this stuff in Idaho Falls or Pocatello, Rexburg, even Manaen." You know?
Are you calling for more growth, Peaches?
I am calling for more growth.
More growth.
Who cares?
Now.
Yeah, yeah. We, we, we need more businesses, and we need more variety, you know?
I agree. I agree. That's why, you know, a- anything new coming in, even if it's a big franchise, great. Great.
Were there any, uh, were there any comments on that Raising Cane's post like, "But we already have Chick-fil-A"?
Uh,
no.
Good.
No.
I'm glad. [laughs]
Which, um, you know, I still gotta go with Super Chix over Chick-fil-A any day.
Oh, yeah.
Any day.
No kidding. No kidding. Uh, what was I gonna say? Oh, we... The, the one restaurant I wish we had, I wish we had, and nobody ever talks about: The Habit.
Uh, you might have told me about that.
Went there in Twin Falls. Fantastic.
Is it a chain?
Yeah.
Huh.
It's, it's a chain. They have these charbroiled burgers.
Huh.
They have a- like, some of them have avocado on them. There's a teriyaki burger. You would like it a lot.
Okay.
The fries are real good. They have these tempura green beans.
Local investors who are listening to this show, Habit.
Yeah, The Habit's a great spot. I know we already have a lot of different burger places around here.
[laughs] The more, the merrier.
Can't hurt to have one more.
No.
The very, the same way that we have a lot of car washes and credit unions and-
That's right
... soda shops, you know? There's Fizz Bucket. There's whatever. [laughs]
Yeah, exactly. The more, the merrier.
Right.
Give us selection.
Well, we got Chipotle and Raising Cane's coming to Idaho Falls.
Yeah.
That's something.
That's good.
That's something.
That's very exciting.
But I'm curious just to wonder what's gonna happen with that old Grocery Outlet building. They better make it good.
Yeah.
Otherwise, I'll be outside picketing, you know?
It's, it's been a craft store before it was Grocery Outlet, Peaches, so.
I, uh, someone said, "Make it an Aldi," and I'll ac- I'll accept that too.
All, all right. Yeah, sure.
You know? My, Aubry, Au- Aubry was very upset we lost Porter's, the craft store, the, before Grocery Outlet.
Ah.
No, I was devastated. Beyond devastated.
[laughs] I know. I pulled in there yesterday, 'cause I couldn't remember when their last day was, and, uh, it had already happened.
I know. I was so mad they, 'cause they were supposed to close on March 21st, and I was gonna go in there and, you know, kind of reminisce about my times in Grocery Outlet.
[laughs]
Maybe cry a little bit inside the location. And I saw the Facebook post saying, "Hey, we're now officially closed," and it was like three days ahead of that.
Ah, bummer. Bummer.
Um, saying, "It's been a pleasure to serve you."
Mm.
And I felt like, well, Vin Diesel, "How could you leave without saying goodbye?" kind of thing.
I know. Ah, it's, it is sad.
It, it... Yeah.
It is sad.
Rest in peace, Grocery Outlet. [upbeat music]
