[upbeat music] The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast.

All right, Peaches, we've got a lot going on around here, so I figure let's do a recap for anybody who didn't listen to the morning show today. All right? Lot of stuff going down. Yesterday, two winners for the Secret Sound. Two winners. So those were too easy.

Oh, good for you.

Yeah.

Two people.

Two people winning 101 bucks-

Yeah

... with the Secret Sound, powered by The Advocates-

Boy, I could use that.

Well, you don't get it.

[laughs] Sorry, dude. All right. Getting a barrel to the top of you.

That's right, a barrel to the top of me.

[laughs]

The Secret Sound is powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys.

We cannot forget them.

That's right.

[laughs]

The Advocates are the best. Um, so we've got Secret Sound number three going. I just realized right now I need to go update the website. I forgot to, with the incorrect guess.

You slacker.

I know. I... It, it's been a busy morning.

And guess who's gonna get yelled at for not having the website updated? Me.

Uh, Peaches.

Yeah.

[laughs] That's right. So I'll get in there and upl- update that.

Last thing I want is a Jade email at 8:00 AM tomorrow, "Uh, please update the square. Why is this not here?"

Mm-hmm.

Oh, that drives me nuts. If there, if there was ever a, a thing that genuinely made me very upset were those stupid 8:00 AM emails.

[laughs]

There, there was no greeting to them, nothing. It was just like-

[laughs]

... why isn't this here?

[laughs]

It made me wanna do, like, a Homer Simpson, Bart Simpson thing.

Do your job, Peaches.

Yeah. [laughs]

Why don't you do your job?

[laughs]

Yeah. I, I just forgot. Uh, 'cause right after I did the Secret Sound, like right after, we announced a big show for the Portneuf Health Trust Amphitheatre in Pocate-

That's right. The wrestler's coming.

The big show's coming.

[laughs]

[laughs] Uh, Papa Roach, Set It Off, and Autumn Kings, July 23rd.

The last time Papa Roach was here, I was actually pleasantly shocked on how great their live performance was.

Dude, they're a really good live band.

Like, they opened up with Kill the Noise.

Mm-hmm.

We got to do a hard intro right before-

Yeah, it was awesome

... and said, "Hey, here's Papa Roach." And the lights went off, and we, we-

Fire

... we had to run off stage in complete darkness.

Yeah.

That was a fun time.

That was a fun time. So it'll be a fun time yet again on July 23rd. Uh, tickets go on sale Friday, but we got a pre-sale code. We posted it on social media in the comments.

That's right. Mm-hmm.

So you can get tickets on, uh, Thursday. You know, if you wanna get ahead of the game, get the best seats, get them pit tickets.

I think the pre-sale starts at 10:00 AM our time. It ends 10:00 PM.

That, that sounds about right.

Yeah, so it goes on for 12 hours. Make sure to get in there early with the password. Get ready to go buy tickets. But also, we'll be giving away a, a whole bunch.

Yes. We will be doing ticket giveaways, so settle down, stay pa- But if you want a guarantee you go, you gotta buy your tickets.

Yeah. I mean, J- Jeff, I mean, me and him were just talking about buying tickets for Bill Murray. I bought mine a few weeks back.

Mm-hmm.

And then he bought his last night 'cause [laughs] I saw that low ticket warning and went, "Ugh."

Ugh.

That's gonna sell out.

Yeah. Low ticket warnings are no good. So get right on it. Get your tickets on Thursday with that, uh... It's LASTRESORT, right, is the pre-sale code?

Yes, LASTRESORT, all capital letters, no spaces.

Okay. LASTRESORT on Thursday. You can buy those through the, uh, Portneuf Health Trust Amphitheatre website. Just go to our concert calendar to find the correct link.

Oh, I don't, I don't have the, uh, show posted, actually.

Oh.

I need to update that part of the website myself. 'Cause I, I was posting the other ones that were announced this morning as well, like other shows happening in the area.

Mm-hmm.

And I did that before 9:00 AM hit.

Ah.

So I moved on to other tasks after I finished that.

[laughs]

Wow, I need to get that on our concert calendar.

Yeah. It's, like I said, been a busy morning-

Yeah

... today. So, um-

Yeah, yeah

... I'll get the, uh, Secret Sound page updated during the next couple songs. And, uh, yeah, that's, that's what we got going on right now. Lot of activity around here, so.

It's exciting. I mean, really show your support if you're wanting to go to this show. Really buy- like, buy tickets if you can.

Yeah.

You know, don't, don't take out a loan and things like that.

[laughs]

But, you know, uh, buy, buy tickets.

Sell your mom's stuff.

Uh, you- I mean, if your mom's a hoarder-

[laughs]

... go for it. But at the same time, [laughs] like-

[laughs]

... you know, really show support, 'cause, uh, I, I do f- really feel bad when I see, like, Megan Moroney filling up the Mountain America Center.

Mm-hmm.

And I feel like the rock and metal crowd is a whole lot bigger than the country crowd out here.

Ooh, yeah.

And so when I see these rock and metal shows get announced, and I see nonstop complaining in the comments section, it just makes venues wanna stop booking these shows-

Yeah

... kind of thing.

I mean, our-

Whereas Megan Moroney, when she was announced, I don't think anybody really complained in her comments section. All these, like, you know, fans of hers were like, "Oh, sweet. Cool. Let's go."

Well, and people are like, "Oh, it's a repeat show," 'cause they were here before, but Set It Off's never been here. Autumn Kings have never been here.

And trust me, Set It Off, a bunch of awesome dudes, uh, three awesome dudes in that band, and, uh, they do q- quite a fun performance.

Yeah. And who cares if the band's been here before? How many years ago was Papa Roach here, like five?

2022.

2022, so four years ago.

And people are still harping on Rockzilla-

[laughs]

... like it was the venue's fault.

Yeah.

And I have explained time and time again that it was the promoter.

Yes.

Not-

And this is a different promoter

... not the Port. The Portneuf Health Trust Amphitheatre is just fine. They do- they did a great job booking this show, getting this show out here.

Look at all the great shows we had last summer, bud.

I don't think it's even a tour. I think it's just two shows.

Wow.

I think, maybe, don't quote me on that.

Okay.

I need to check the Papa Roach Facebook.

Yeah, I haven't gone to, uh, their Facebook page today.

'Cause I know in Iowa they're doing, um, two days before the show in Pocatello, um, with Silverstein and Story of the Year.

Yes.

And then, yeah, we got Set It Off and Autumn Kings coming to our stop, but I didn't see a full tour poster from Papa Roach. And then Set It Off-

Man

... also was like, "Hey, we're making our way to Idaho."

Yeah. About time those dudes came our way. So yeah, don't be a complainer. Go to the show. Be grateful we're getting shows.

Actually, it is just two shows. [laughs]

Two shows?

Yeah.

They're coming just for us.

Just for-

Just for us

... just for Council Bluffs, Iowa, and-

Council Bluffs

... and Pocatello, Idaho. Shout out Wes Styles.

[laughs]

I know he was very excited about the, uh-

Was he?

... the Papa Roach announcement. Yes.

All right. All right. Shout out to Wes. You-Get your tickets on Thursday, and Peaches and I'll be back in a minute [upbeat music] Okay, everybody, the website's been updated. Current jackpot for the Secret Sound, powered by the advocates, $126, and I put up the incorrect guess as well.

What did that person guess?

They guessed slapping a plastic cup down on a table,

which is, you know-

I'm tired of this drink.

[laughs]

[laughs]

I hate this. I don't like plastic cups. [laughs] Oh, man. It's been a morning, Peaches.

Oh, yeah.

You know?

It's only Tuesday, as a matter of fact, too.

Oh, I know. And I got, oh, too much stuff to do. You know, having four cats,

it kind of sucks, Peaches. That's a lot poop. [laughs]

[laughs] I almost said one word, euthanization. [laughs]

Oh, gee. No, I like them all.

[laughs]

I like them all.

What's in the box?

[laughs] Oh, no.

Victor's dead cats.

[laughs]

[laughs] Geez. Well, I was just thinking about the litter boxes.

Better yet, just let them outside-

Oh

... and pretty soon you'll see a post on Life in Idaho Falls, "Hey, is this somebody's dead cat in the road?"

[laughs] Oh, geez, Peaches.

[laughs]

Geez. Can people please stop posting pictures of dead animals on Facebook?

Oh, please.

Like, bring them to the vet, they can scan them for a chip. People call around to, like, the animal shelter, vets, when their pets are missing and things.

It breaks my heart every single time I see somebody posting, like, a dead dog-

I hate that

... on, on Sunnyside. It's like, dude, come on.

Dude.

What are you doing? Like, when, when you, when your dog passes away, you don't post it on social media, "Rest in peace."

Well, another thing that I've seen people doing recently that annoys me too is they'll find someone's driver's license and they'll post it and, like, blur out the address, you know, or cover it up.

Their address is on the- the freaking card.

[laughs] You're right.

You don't need to post it. Bring it to their house.

[laughs]

Put it in the mail.

[laughs]

I see it all the time and I'm like,

the location's on it. [laughs]

Just drop it off in their mailbox and put a nice little note saying-

Yeah

... "Hey, this was dropped off in the Walmart parking lot."

Exactly. Like, Becca lost her wallet and I'm like, "Well, we should go to your old place and look for it," 'cause that seems like the most common place you'd look.

[laughs]

Where the, the ID says [laughs] you know,

the thing should be located. People are dumb, man.

Oh, yeah.

People are dumb. And yeah, I get it, you're trying to help find somebody, you know, some pet's owner. But sorry, as a guy with four cats, I like animals. When I just see dead animals on my Facebook feed, that's worse than the political garbage that fills up my Facebook feed. Please stop. Take them to a vet.

I just got reminded of the time when Lucy went missing, and we all-

Oh

... went looking for her.

That's right, it was horrible.

And you were just, you were just devastated.

She's got a microchip now. Yeah, take a, take ... If you happen to find an animal, take it to the animal shelter. They can scan it for a chip and hopefully find the owner, or the owner can reach out to the animal shelter and see if anybody's, you know, brought it in. You don't need to horrify everybody. I start looking at Facebook at 6:00 AM, Peaches. I don't need, you know, dead animal brain at 6:00 AM. It's too early.

I feel like it's not good for you.

No, it couldn't be good to be staring at dead animals at 6:00 AM.

Just overall social media with all the complaints and people being stupid.

Dude, I'm- I'm so sick of social media right now. It's, ugh, it's exhausting. It's exhausting to look at. There's nothing positive at a ... I- I- I'm not even sharing positive stuff. I'm complaining. [laughs]

I was gonna say, you're on your Facebook all the time posting and then deleting.

[laughs]

What are you talking about?

[laughs] I know, I do like to post some angry crap and then go, "Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have posted that." And delete it.

You're like, "Let's not give this person any attention." Me, n- literally that night, I go on my Facebook and I see-

[laughs]

... y- you tagging the guy-

[laughs]

[laughs] ... and then saying, like, something about him, and then an hour later it's deleted.

[laughs] I don't know. Peaches, I'm bored. [laughs]

[laughs] I just feel like you get riled up. You're sitting there in the living room.

That's what happens.

[laughs]

I do. I get riled up all of a sudden. Something'll get me crazy.

Becca's a bad influence. She's like, "Do it, dude, do it."

No, she, she discourages that kind of thing.

Oh, really? Okay, good.

Yeah.

So she also ... Okay, good. Good, good, I'm glad.

Like, there was the one post that I deleted 'cause people were fighting with me in the comments, and so then I reposted it the next day with the comments turned off. [laughs] It was just like, "I don't care what you people have to say. No, you don't get to comment." [laughs]

[laughs]

No comments is pretty good.

And I had no idea what logo that was even for. You were talking about it in the post.

Yeah, garbage person.

Okay.

So that's all that matters. I mean, and see, nope. That's the thing. Only a handful of people will know what that is, and those are the people who need to know that that person's a piece of crap, so.

See, I just figured it was somebody, like, right wing or something like that, and you were-

No

... and you were just spreading your liberal politics all over Facebook, Victor.

No, just-

You're turning Facebook blue even though the logo is-

Just a complete garbage local D-bag.

Oh, okay.

You know? I w- I was at, uh, a local establishment, and that sticker was on the w- you know, hanging up.

Yeah, yeah.

So I tore it down [laughs] and I crumpled it up and threw it in an ashtray.

Can you make a subliminal post about me?

Uh, probably.

Just maybe say, like, "Oh, that ... Th- this is a, a horrible fruit," or something.

[laughs]

And, like, throw a peach on the ground or something. [laughs]

[laughs] I hate all things that have to do with this thing.

[laughs] And then turn the comments off or something.

[laughs] Yes. [upbeat music] Peaches, I'm totally out of touch with, uh, some internet slang. I learned this this morning.

I, I, uh, just recently learned a new one-

Oh?

... and I don't know if I can even repeat it.

Uh, here, I'll turn the mics off.

I think that's fine. There's a movie called that. Um.

Uh, Maddie said it to me, um, when we were going to, when we're, when we were actually in Meridian at the, uh, In-N-Out, and I took a picture of her, like, by herself, uh, leaning against the wall and sent it to her, and she goes, "Wow, I look like such a," insert word there.

Yeah, I mean, I, I think it just means you're, like, an idiot or a piece of crap.Or loser.

I must be that 24/7.

[laughs] Yeah, Peaches' word was, uh, chud.

Yeah.

And I, I think that's fine to say. But I made a post last night, we were talking about me complaining on the internet [laughs] one of the previous breaks, and I made a post talking about how if you're into, you know, man- manosphere alpha influencers, you'll never get a girlfriend.

And, well, okay, what popped up on your YouTube to make you watch a video like that?

Uh, I, I don't know what made me react and go, "All right, I'm gonna jump on Facebook and say something about this." But in the comments, people were using all kinds of slang that I had never heard before. And so I [laughs] had to, like, Google things this morning to figure out what they mean. Like, some guy asked me if I was a sigma,

and I'm like, "What does that mean?"

[laughs]

[laughs]

And apparently, it's, uh, you're like a lone wolf. [laughs]

[laughs]

That's what the internet said. Do you have a different definition for it, Peaches?

No, no, I know, I know what it is, but just the fact that you're so confused is, is showing how old you are. [laughs]

[laughs] I know, I'm like, "I don't know what that means." I mean, I know a lot of other internet words like, you know-

Mm

... incel and things like that.

Beta.

Beta, I know that one. But I'd be like, "Okay-

[laughs]

"... what's a sigma?" 'Cause there's alpha and beta. [laughs] And so-

Inside you, Victor, there are two wolves.

[laughs] I know.

[laughs]

Only one inside of me.

[laughs]

I'm a lone wolf.

[laughs]

I play by my own rules.

Let's hear the howl.

[laughs] No.

[laughs] Come on.

Only one radio DJ in the market howls. [laughs] Sorry.

Well, he just lost his mom. We can't make fun of him. [laughs]

Aw, sorry, Don.

[laughs]

Sorry, man. That sucks.

We're not gonna, we're not gonna tease him. We're not.

What was the other term they used? Let me see if I can bring it up here.

It was like the, the king of all alphas or something. [laughs] But it was like-

Hey, that's my radio name. [laughs]

[laughs] It was a macro name.

Victor- uh, Howard Stern is the, uh [laughs] king of all media.

[laughs]

Peaches is the king of all alphas.

[laughs] Let me see if I can find that comment here. 'Cause I'm like, "What, what, what is that?"

[laughs]

And so I had to Google it.

[laughs] Hold on here. There's a lot of comments. Oh, it's A-M-O-G. Uh, am- AMOG.

And, uh, I don't even remember what it stands for.

Alpha male of group? Is that what it is? Hold on. [laughs] Who, who are these loser dudes coming up with this stuff? Oh, alpha male of the group. So you're like, you know, it's a bunch of dudes that are all alpha, but I'm the alpha-est. [laughs]

Obviously you know about brain rot.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

I know about brain rot, sure.

What about, like, NPC energy?

I, I do know about N-

Okay

... NPC energy, for sure.

What about mewing?

Mewing?

Yeah.

Isn't that what a cat does?

Like maxing your jawline.

Okay.

See, that's what I, I would say-

The Rizzler, dude. You know the Rizzler

... dude, I would say that the AMOG would be into, uh, you know, face maxing and things like that. Um-

Are you-

Don't hit yourself in the face with a h- a hammer, people, okay?

Do, do you like, uh, aura farming?

RF farming?

Aura farming.

Aura farming, okay.

Trying to look cool without trying.

Is that what that means?

You try to build up your aura.

Okay, so I, I'm, I'm putting out the good vibes? [laughs]

Dude, right now you're really showing unc status.

What, what does [laughs] that mean?

Acting old/out of touch.

[laughs]

Unc is, unc is uncle.

[laughs]

So it's like, you know. [laughs]

[laughs] I guess that's me.

You're, you're an unc, dude.

Worse and worse every day.

You were born in 19 whatever, you're an unc.

Yes.

You know, I'm, I'm now being considered an unc 'cause I'll be 30-

Yeah

... in a couple months. And, uh, people like Maddie, who's, you know, still 19.

I'm a sigma unc. [laughs]

[laughs] I'm, I'm gonna get Brian to put that in the voice work right away.

[laughs]

Sigma unc Victor Wilt.

Don't be a chud, Peaches. [laughs]

Oh, geez.

[laughs]

[upbeat music] This is the noon hour of madness and mayhem. How's Peaches doing?

Uh, good.

All right, good.

I'm just, I'm just sitting here.

Glad to hear it. Uh, somebody asked online if they'd be a jerk if they'd be, you know, treating their family wrong, if they secretly changed their last name.

Peaches, what do you think your parents would do if you just changed your name legally?

Uh, they would think something's completely wrong with me, 'cause why would I change my last name?

I don't know, maybe you wanted to be, uh, Brendan Apple.

[scoffs]

You know? [laughs]

Brendan Chud.

[laughs] Brendan Chud.

[laughs]

[laughs] Right.

Brendan Sigma.

[laughs]

Uh, 'cause I've thought about legally changing my name, and the only reason I haven't done it is 'cause it's a pain. [laughs] Like, 'cause you-

You have to change everything.

Yeah.

That's the thing.

You have to change every ... You gotta contact, like, every single place that you do business with, uh, that you have a bill for.

All of your credit cards.

Mm-hmm.

Everything.

Exactly. Your bank accounts. You gotta go get new, uh, paperwork from the DMV. It, it just sounds like a hassle, and I'm lazy. So,

like, I don't see anything wrong with it. Like, if my kids decided to change their names to whatever. Like, it, pretty much anything, unless it was, [laughs] like, really offensive or something.

Actually, I, I love my name. I w- I would never wanna change it.

Yeah.

I, I just don't see the point in doing so.

Well, this, this girl-

But I do feel bad for my cousin's kid, 'cause his name is Ryder Peach.

Ryder Peach?

And that sounds a little-

Eh

... uh, a little,

a little chudy, you know?

[laughs]

[laughs]

Not very, not very AMOG or whatever that was.

That's not very AMOG. [burps]

Oh, excuse me.

Oh, you belched in the microphone.

Oh, I know.

Now the local podcaster-

The local podcast is gonna get very chud.

The local chud is gonna be very sad. [laughs]

That local chud that wears a suit jacket.

The local unc. [laughs]

[laughs] Now that's an unc, for sure. Beta unc.

Yeah, but he's, he's dating someone beta.

Oh. Now this, this woman, she's 27 years old, and I guess her last name is German, and it's really hard to say and spell, and she's like, "This sucks," [laughs] "so I just wanna change my name." But her family's like, "No, you can't do it. That's a shame upon your family."

[laughs] Back when I talked to Aaron Jones, I was like, "Are you kind of upset that people don't know how to spell your name? 'Cause mine's the same way." And he's like, "No, I would just, I would just be mad all the time. I don't care." [laughs]

[laughs] Yeah, 'cause people, they'll call you Brandon or Brendan.

Brendan.

Brendan. Yeah. Yeah, but my real name's real easy to spell. [laughs] If I couldn't-

Very generic, very stock.

[laughs] Yeah.

Very NPC energy.

If I couldn't spell [laughs] my real name ... [laughs]

It's giving NPC energy, as the kids would say, Victor.

[laughs] I know, and it's a terrible real name because... Uh, sorry to my family members that are alive, if you're listening. [laughs] But it's a terrible name because it's so common, it'll pop up in movies and things, and it's always, like, the worst character ever.

Oh, please.

You know, they're always, like, [laughs] chaining people up in the basement. [laughs]

Well, Aubrey just told her mom that, uh, she watched a Dateline episode and the murderer's name was Brendan,

spelled like mine.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Hmm.

And so I'm like, "Thanks for telling your mom that." [laughs]

[laughs]

Now if, like, Aubrey just doesn't answer a text, her mom's gonna freak out. [laughs]

[laughs]

"Brendan got her."

Brendan did it.

"That's Hud!"

[laughs]

[laughs]

People are not gonna know what we're talking about that... People could be tuning in right now during this break-

Yeah

... not realizing what we're referencing.

Yeah. Today's a good show to, you know, go back and listen on demand if you-

All the shows are a good show to [laughs] go back and listen in on demand.

All right, that's true, but to... Yeah, if you wanna know what we're laughing about at this point in the show-

[laughs]

... go back and listen to the Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem podcast, available everywhere podcasts can be found, and you'll get it, 'cause we've just been kinda rolling today.

Really, I didn't do anything to Aubrey. I'm just aura farming over here.

[laughs]

Try to cool. [upbeat music]
