[upbeat music] The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast
All righty, it's the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. I am Peaches, and Victor's not here today, nor will he be here for, like, the first part of next week. So up to Wednesday, I believe I'll have the one, the only FJ-
Hello
... here in studio with me. He does Saturdays on Alt 101, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
Yeah. Yeah.
All right. Yeah. What, what, what do you have planned to talk about tomorrow?
Robots taking over the planet. Uh, the 25 weirdest animal names.
Okay, that's cool.
Only, there's only 19 on the list.
[laughs]
I'm not really sure why they call it a 25 list and then give you 19.
They just round it up for no reason.
I think so. A lot of lists do that, it turns out.
[laughs]
Like, "Hey, there's 100 of these," but there's only 30 on the list.
What was the weirdest one?
Aardvark?
Oh, no. It-
Platypus?
It was, like, a angry,
hairy armadillo or something.
Angry... Okay.
Uh, there was a satanic starfish.
That's cool. [laughs]
Uh, some of them we can't say on air.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
There were some good ones, though.
There was a particular Missouri city that just experienced an earthquake. Did you see that headline pop up this morning?
I have not yet.
Uh, I can't even... I don't think I can even say the name of the city.
[laughs]
It's kind of like that one Idaho town that's A-T-H-O-L.
Don't try to say it.
I'm not... Uh, uh, yeah.
It's like when you... Like that old trick where it's like, "Hey, stick out your tongue and say apple."
Yeah, yeah.
That whole thing.
Uh-huh.
What was I gonna talk about also on this, uh, this beginning part here? Oh, yeah. So Lieutenant Crane and I, uh, I did Traffic School powered by The Advocates this morning, and Lieutenant Crane and I were coming up with predictions for what Victor will say when he gets back from Vegas.
Um, number one, "I am tired."
Okay, yeah. I'll write that down here on this list, 'cause I have, he'll come back with a bug.
[laughs]
You know?
He arrives tired, or he'll... He says he's, he's tired from the trip.
He needs some caffeine.
He, he needs some caffeine.
Of course. Those are the basics. Um, his stomach hurts.
[laughs]
I'm guessing also, like, maybe
he, uh,
had something stolen from him. Like, maybe his, uh, his CPAP or something like that.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Like, the hotel staff took it or something, maybe. That's a stretch. Maybe he, uh,
had, like, uh, hi- his, his pass stolen and he couldn't make it back into the festival, something like that.
Oh. [laughs]
For those that don't know, Victor is going to Sick New World with his, uh, I don't know if I should call, call her his wife or-
He does
... Uh, sure, yeah. His wife, Becca. [laughs]
[laughs]
They're not legally married, but they just say they are.
I keep telling him we could do an on-air wedding for him.
Oh, that'd be fantastic, wouldn't it?
Uh, yeah, I can perform the ceremony.
You could officiate it?
Oh, of course.
Are you ordained in the state of Idaho?
I sure am, through the Latter-Day Church of Dudeism.
Oh, sure, true. True.
The Dudeabides.
You told me about that before. [laughs]
Yep, yep. It's the Big Lebowski Church. The state of Idaho recognizes it.
I'm actually ordained in the state of California, so I can marry anybody down there.
Nice.
Yeah, so then there's that, too. So if they wanted to get married in the most, uh,
overly expensive way, which I'm sure they don't-
[laughs]
... they can just go down there. Maybe we could just do, like, a, a ceremony on the sand. You, you can just do a ceremony on the beach, couldn't you, if it's a public beach?
Oh, yeah. You can do it anywhere.
Yeah, as long as we have the officiant and... People can walk right through, though.
Some witnesses.
Some witnesses there. You know, some of, uh, Becca's and, uh, Victor's relatives.
Yeah.
If they're still alive.
Oh, yeah. That, that's easy.
[laughs] All right. So, so far on this list we got, he'll come back with a bug. He says he's tired from the trip. He needs some caffeine. His stomach hurts. We could make this a drinking game, but I also feel like we don't want to encourage people to, uh, drink that early in the morning.
I was gonna say, that'd be, like, waking up to doing it.
Yeah. Waking up, and then also just completely ruining the rest of your day, maybe even the rest of your week.
Although if, if they just listen to his podcast for it, then they could do it later in the night-
[laughs]
... and turn it into a drinking game.
Sure. There we go. Yeah. Listen to the Victor Wilt show on-demand podcast wherever you get your podcasts, and make that your Saturday night drinking game. If he says, "I'm tired," if he says, "Hey, I'm, I'm feeling a little bit off today," if he says, "I need some caffeine," if he also says, "My stomach hurts," and also, you, uh, you should drink more. You should drink... Like, what's, what's more... What's bigger than a shot? I, I've never drank in my entire life.
Well, I mean-
Why not drink, like, a whole pint [laughs] of-
Oh
... of Guinness or something like that. If he says, "I fell out of my hot tub again."
Yes.
Something like that. We can-
His back hurts. That's gonna be another one.
Oh, that's another one? Yeah, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah. Let me write this down on this list here. His back hurts.
All right. Yeah. If any, uh, listeners have any suggestions for this, uh, prediction list, give us a call at 208-535-1015 or message us on any one of the social media platforms we're on. [upbeat music] So it's the n- it's the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. I'm so used to saying that now, it's almost like one word for me.
[laughs]
So it's the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem on K-Barre 101. I remember when I first started, and it took me forever to, uh, remember it.
It's a tongue twister.
And that was back when we were, uh... That was back when it was 2021, and we were all wearing masks.
Oh, y- yep.
And it was, uh... I was just thrown on the air. I, I di- I didn't know what was going on, didn't know the schedule back then. I, my first week was exclusively on 105 The Hawk.
Oh, nice.
And that's where I got my training in the afternoon. And then I made my way back, or I made my way to K-Barre middays, then 105 The Hawk in the afternoon.
Oh, fun.
Yeah, it was fun. Kind of, I was still the same person. Like, they tell you in radio, you gotta, like, uh, adapt to the demographic. I'm like, I feel like country listeners and metal listeners are similar.
They're, they're kind of the same thing.
They're, they're both re- rebellious in their own way. Like, one has cowboy boots, cowgirl boots, the other one has piercings, tattoos. They wear black.
One only sings about-
They both smell bad? [laughs]
... losing their girlfriend and one
sings about losing their dog.
Yeah, sure. Yeah. Yeah. Exa- country listeners are also elitists in their own way.
They do think they listen to the best music out there.
Right. And, uh, who was... There was something recently. Oh, yeah, Victor and I were having that AI battle.
[laughs]
And we were just going back and forth. I didn't, I didn't even use AI in that beginning photo. Basically what happened is that if people are, haven't caught up yet, or if they're just now tuning in for the first time in forever, Victor fell out of his hot tub or fell in his hot tub and hurt his back pretty badly.
That is a scary picture.
And I wish... I, I seriously wish we had the footage, but his camera in the backyard conveniently is not char- charged or was not charged.
Oh. That's what he's gonna tell us.
But he also was mentioning that he was naked, so we'd have to censor his entire body-
[laughs]
... to, uh, [laughs] to put the footage on our Facebook page. I mean, that could have gone viral for us.
It could have.
Morning show, uh, radio DJ hurts his back falling out of hot tub, just slips, and Becca was there to witness the entire thing, and usually she records everything. She sent me a video this morning of, uh, [laughs] of V- she's wide awake, but Victor is knocked out asleep. I, uh... Yesterday Victor made a post in the Sick New World, uh, Facebook group saying that, uh, they're gonna be on their way from Idaho at 6:00 AM to drive down to Vegas. She sent me this video at, like, 6:30, 6:45.
This morning?
This morning. I woke up at 7:30 by my alarm and immediately checked my phone and saw her nine usual snaps that she sends out.
[laughs]
And the whole series is her trying to wake him up, and apparently he talks in his sleep.
Oh, that'd be fun.
Like, he, he'll, he'll talk back to you, but he's not awake.
Really?
So he was talking [laughs] about how he spent, like, $90 on 12 ounces of something.
[laughs]
And then, [laughs] and that, uh, he spent too much money, and he's apologizing to her. And he's like... Uh, uh, she's, she goes, "I'm gonna get the water bucket." And he's like, "I dare you to." [laughs] He's just knocked out asleep.
Wow.
What if she would've? That would, that-
That would've been great
... I should've texted her, "Hey, I, I'll come over before I start my shift here today," and just doused him with the ice bucket of water.
Right? [laughs]
Wake him up. That'll be our next secret sound. "Hey, what's this sound?" Just a big splash. "What the peaches?" [laughs]
[laughs]
Him waking up. I'm hoping their drive goes smoothly. Today w- today's not a good day to, to drive around town.
Ah, it'll be fine.
I... But, uh, he, he's a lifelong Idahoan.
Yeah.
Every, every one of you people around here are used to it.
Yeah, snow-
I, I don't say-
... driving in snow's not a big deal.
I don't say "you people" in a bad way. You guys have a-
I hope not
... you guys have a skill. You g- you guys can drive in the snow. For me, it's like I gotta put on the snow tires, I gotta put on the massive boots. My parents, [laughs] when I first moved out here, they equipped me with all of the stuff like I was moving to the, the planet Hoth.
All the snow gear.
Yeah, all the snow gear, all the coats, all the, the, the snow tires my dad paid for. It was ridiculous.
I've never used snow tires in my life.
I've seen a lot of Idahoans are very proud to say that, but for me, it's like, well, I need my training wheels still.
[laughs]
I need to have the, uh, I need to have the, the bumpers when it comes to bowling kind of thing. So-
It's kind of the same thing. [laughs]
[laughs] Well, anyway, it's the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. FJ and I are here hanging out. Um, a little bit later on during my, uh, afternoon show, I'll be doing another album playthrough. Uh, I gotta thank, uh, Rob sending me the, uh, clean copy of the new Amity Affliction album.
That's gonna be a good one.
Called House of Cards. A lot of, uh, the OG Amity Affliction fans still very upset that Aaron is no longer in the band, but, uh, I, I feel like he seems like this... He's a, oh, he's a, what's it called? He's a hazard.
Oh. Yeah. Uh, yeah.
He's, he's a big time, uh-
Liability
... liability. That's the word I was looking for. Uh, but he's doing his own thing. He has this band called Self Checkout, and they kind of-
Is it good?
They have their, their own... They're, they're, they're very heavy, too.
Okay.
They're good. They're good. They're good. But the Amity Affliction, I feel like this latest album is also extremely good.
I'm gonna be listening to it later today.
It's called House of Cards. Yeah, I'll be playing it during the 5:00 PM hour from start to finish. It's about 40 minutes long, so it should last about the entire hour. But I think I might... Of course I'll, what I'll do is I'll do my It's So New track-
Yeah
... beginning part of the hour, and then do the album playthrough. But right now, on the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem here on KBEAR 101, we got Sleep Theory, "Static." [upbeat music] Still thinking about that show, Jeff. Bill Murray, we just played, uh-
Oh
... Always Let You Down with Jeremy from A Day to Remember.
Yes.
What a fantastic show. I'm glad that you got tickets for it. I'm glad Jade showed up for part of it.
I can't believe he left early.
I know. I know. He, I mean, uh, did he pay for... No, he had a free ticket. That's, that's why I was like, "There's no way that he paid and only showed up for four songs." I didn't even see him the entire time.
I, I saw him a few times.
I have to take these, uh, heart pills, these heart medi-
Yeah
... this heart medication, and so, it, they're horribly timed. I have to take one in the morning-
Mm-hmm
... take one in the middle of the day, and then take one at night. And usually I take the last one around 7:45. But when I'm at a show, I, I...
What's it called? Like, we get there at, like, 6:00.
Yeah.
The doors open at 6:00.
Yeah.
We're in the venue. I've already seen one opener by then, so what I do now is I'll take one of my pills, put it in my earplugs container attached to my keys.
Oh, that's pretty smart.
But then, but then it looks mischievous and suspicious because I'm pulling out a pill during the middle of a concert.
Like, "Hey, guys, don't look at me."
And I have to convince, uh, the security if they do ask me, like, "Hey, you know, this is a beta blocker. This helps with, uh, me not going into AFib."
Yeah.
"If you want me to stay alive during the show, just let me take it." "Because there's no way you guys are going to be carrying me out of this venue."
[laughs]
Maybe we should try having me crowd surf once.
If you do it, I'll do it.
If we have a team effort.
It, it would take a team to get us up there.
'Cause I'm losing weight. You know, I'm getting down there.
Yeah.
And by getting down there, I mean, like, 370, so, I mean-
[laughs]
Uh, uh, w- th- but it's awkward, though. There's a lot to it. Like, the, the, the height is what makes it bad.
I, I saw some little people get dropped this last show.
Yeah, and I, when I see people get dropped, it makes me scared to try to attempt it myself 'cause I know for a fact-Some five-foot blonde girl in the front by the railing-
Oh, yeah
... is gonna be like, "I'm not touching him."
"I'm not doing this."
And then her boyfriend also doesn't do the same thing, and then all of a sudden I just come crashing down.
And it's gonna be right on the gate.
It's gonna be like Humpty Dumpty. Not an egg, just cracked wide open.
Yeah.
[laughs]
That's why I've never done it.
My favorite tactic that you... My favorite thing that happened at the Bill Murray show, besides you setting me up with, uh, your, your, your, you told your brother to, to scream as loud as possible, "Peaches from Caper!"
Uh, God bless my brother for doing it.
Shout out to him. What's his name?
Doug.
Shout out to Doug. [laughs] He just runs up and does it. I thought it was one of those just, like, weird listeners popping up. [laughs]
Oh, he, he's definitely weird, but...
Yeah, but I also... I... 'Cause we've had, I've had experiences like that where people just freak out all of a sudden. Just freak out. I mean, I think it's great. I think it's awesome. A shout-out to all the listeners that stop us at concerts, see me at concerts. I know his brother was doing it as a joke because you told him to.
Yes, I did.
But I wish we had it recorded.
Oh, I, I did screw that up. I should've recorded it, 'cause it was pretty golden.
It was g- it was fantastic. And also, there was, uh, some other people that saw me and took pictures with me. There was one person in the merch line that saw me, and Aubrey come by and, uh, buy a potato sack, out of all things.
Yeah.
That's pretty cool. They, uh, were selling those potato sacks. I, I had to walk up to the merch lady and be like, "Hey, can you give me one of your sacks?" with a straight face.
[laughs]
And I bought it for, like, 20 bucks. Wasn't too bad of a deal. But my favorite thing that happened at the show, besides Doug doing that, was when I texted you like, "Hey, when are you coming to the front?" And you go, "Oh, for Bill Murray, I'll, I'll be up there."
Yes.
And I'm like, "When's Jeff gonna get up here? When's he gonna get, when's he gonna get up to the railing?" Out of nowhere, I hear, "Excuse me, director coming through. Excuse me, out of the way, out of the way."
[laughs]
"Coming through." And I see you with, like, three other people.
There were a group of us.
A, a group of you guys just pushing your way to the front. And so I'm like, "All right, Aubs, let's go. Let's, uh, let's follow the lead. Let's join the conga line." [laughs]
That's all you gotta do.
And we made our way in front of this family, this one teenage kid. I talked about this on the show, too, when the... Right after the weekend happened. This guy was farting the entire time.
[laughs] Oh.
Again, like one of those machines where you set it up to spray, like, once every hour or so.
Yeah.
This guy was doing it every 15 minutes, just-
Oh
... pff, pff.
I'm glad he was far enough from me, I didn't smell it.
And the dude behind me is like, "Dude, what is that smell?" I'm like, "That's this guy farting."
[laughs]
So we went in front of him. His whole family gets very upset. They start motioning, like, "What's with this big fat guy in front of us?" And then they go to the right of the pit. I drove them away. Awesome. But then there was also a few people that were just jumping on our feet the entire time.
Yeah, that happened.
Like, I, it, I pushed one out of the way. I hate to say it, but I, I did push somebody completely out of the way. One guy I felt like was intentionally jumping into me. So right as he, like, went into the air, I just, foom, like-
[laughs]
... pushed him into the pit. And he's, luckily he went on the other side, too.
And he probably stayed there.
And I'm not trying to hurt anybody. I'm just like, "Dude, please stop jumping on my feet. This hurts."
Well, if they're getting in the pit, they, they should be expecting to get pushed around a little bit anyways.
Yeah, like I, I, I'm used to it. Aubrey was not, not so much. I had to be like, uh, her bodyguard the entire time. She was close to the pit. I had to put like my arm around her and then drag her to the other side.
Yeah.
And it's an experience, though. That was her first experience in a, in a pit like that. Luckily it wasn't for like a, a super heavy band. And I don't think she'll ever go to a super heavy show. Like, she refused to go to the, uh, Slaughter to Prevail show with me.
Oh, yeah, that pit would not...
No.
She wouldn't like that. That wouldn't be fun.
Maybe I should fly her home and we, we'll go to, we'll go see Slayer and Cannibal Corpse-
Oh, yeah. [laughs]
... later on in November at the Forum. Why not?
She'd love that.
Yeah. [laughs] She loves Hammer Smashed Face. It's one of her favorites.
[laughs]
[upbeat music] Wrapping up the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, I am Peaches.
And I am FJ.
When, when's your, uh, next concert? Is it the Story of the Year one?
I think so, unless I see something else that pops up before then.
The same day is the Papa Roach, Set It Off, and Autumn Kane show. And speaking of that, um, next Friday, May 1st, a week from today, I am going to be at State Trailer Supply. They're celebrating 100 years in business, 2435 North Yellowstone Highway. I'll be there from 2:00 to 4:00. If you see me during that time, you'll be able to win tickets, or you'll be entered in to win tickets to go see Papa Roach, Set It Off, and Autumn Canes. And we might be doing something in the near future for that show that, uh, FJ is going to, Story of the Year and, uh, Silverstein.
That's gonna be a great show.
What venue is it at again? The Complex?
I think so.
Somewhere in Salt Lake City. It's on our concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. Uh, The Amity Affliction is coming up soon, too, with, uh-
Oh, that one's real soon
... with August Burns Red. I believe that's May 1st. I was, I was gonna check out our concert calendar anyway.
Wage War is on May 1st, too, isn't it?
It's on Cinco de Mayo.
Oh.
I was kind of upset 'cause, uh, we were forwarded the ability to, uh, put in a proposal to give away tickets to go see Puscifer on Cinco de Mayo-
Oh, yeah
... for the Normal Isn't tour at the Maverick Center. Um, they never got back. I tried getting a guitar signing with them. Maynard is such a tool, no pun intended.
[laughs]
But Maynard is, like, one of the most pretentious jerks in the industry, I feel like.
It, it really seems like that.
Uh, but yeah, Wage War the same day, the Union Event Center, Cinco de Mayo as well. Why not celebrate Cinco de Mayo with Wage War? Is it Orthodox as well and Never Tell?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm gonna be making my way down to Salt Lake City May 9th, which is a Saturday, for Vanna, Deadlands, and-
That'll be a good show
... I'm, I'm hoping to interview Vanna, 'cause she seems like such a fun person.
That'll be a good show.
I can always tell who I'm gonna get along with and who I'm not going to, and I felt like for Asking Alexandria, they were gonna be the kinda... I don't know. I feel like th- they'll be, they'll be cool once you know them kind of thing. But the first time meeting them was kinda awkward.
They've got a reputation.
Yeah, they do. They do. But tho- those, those who are radio trained are obviously the best ones, like Matt B from From Ashes to New.
Yeah.
Uh, Johnny Hawkins of Nothing More is a great one. Chris Jericho w- was such a [laughs] unique one.
That, that would be a fun one.
I was scared beyond, beyond belief.Thinking that he was gonna cut a promo on me. It's always fun at the very end of the interview to kind of like say, "Hey, could you say you're listening to Peach's Pit Party?"
Yeah.
As a grown man, I'm telling someone to say, "Hey, can you, can you say you're listening to Peach's Pit Party-
[laughs]
... on KBEAR 101?" And then they always ask, "What's the show name? What's the, what's the station name again?"
"What'd you just say?"
"Hey, what'd you just call me?" And like the... You're... Okay, and then so James LaBrie of Dream Theater, y- you know that old guy commercial-
Yeah
... buttery flaky crust? That's what it was like dealing with him.
[laughs]
Like, he just couldn't get it. It was funny, 'cause at the time it wasn't Peach's Pit Party. I think I just told him to list- to say, "You're listening to Idaho's only rock station, KBEAR 101," and he messed it up, but he had to write it down. There's al- it's always funny when you see, uh, when you hear w- [laughs] musicians go, "You're listening to my favorite show," and then they, they read the name on the script, uh, "Peach's Pit Party on KBEAR 101," like Lizzy Hale-
You sound really authentic, man.
Lizzy Hale [laughs] of Halestorm said that and made me laugh. And then Colin from Sleep Theory messed it up. Um, there's been a few others, but I keep those mistakes in there. We keep... We, we're fun around here.
It makes them human.
Right. Oh, speaking of, uh, fun mistakes, uh, FJ has so many fun intros for his, uh, his, uh, Saturday show.
Gotta keep them funny.
Th- they're hilarious, some of the best I've ever heard. [laughs]
[laughs]
Just these, these random quotes. Obviously, "My name is Jeff" from 21 Jump Street is on there.
Yeah, that's in there a lot.
I was thinking about that quote when, when, uh, Aubrey and I last night, we were watching that movie Roofman on Prime Video.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, and I was just... Channing Tatum's obviously the star, and all I could think [laughs] was, "My name is Jeff" the entire time.
'Cause his promo for that movie brought it up and-
Oh
... it was great.
Oh, that's right, 'cause his name's Jeffrey something in that movie.
Yeah.
It's based off the true story.
And if your name was Jeff and you went to a certain type of movie theater in the country, they gave you a free ticket.
Re- oh, that's funny. Yeah.
We just didn't have that theater here.
Oh.
[laughs]
My dad would've loved that, 'cause his, his name's also Jeff.
It's a great name.
There's also the other Jeff that we hu- you guys, th- you and that other Jeff at The Union were having, like, a Warped Tour battle, like, seeing who has been to more Warped Tours.
I had him beat on more, but he's still currently going to them, so he has me beat on that.
Yeah, yeah, he's a, he's a devout dude to the, uh, the Warped.
It, it, it's a great lifestyle.
I, I, I feel like I should, uh, fly home during the summertime, but I have some plans, some major lifestyle, life-changing plans-
Oh, boy
... um, in September.
Yeah.
I'm gonna p- particularly do something that, uh, will be hap... I, I can't say anything now.
Okay.
But I'm gonna try my best. I'm missing a, like, a giant part of it that I need to go out and buy. But, uh-
All right
... yeah, the, I'm thinking that my, my only trip to California this summer is gonna be towards the, uh, the end of August, early September-
Okay
... for my 30th birthday.
Woohoo.
Yeah, that's right, turning the big 3-0. Honestly, I thought FJ was, like, 28 when he showed up here. Then he tells me his actual age.
I'm a little older than that.
He's, uh... Do, do you wanna say?
I'm 41. I'll be 42 next month.
I, I was quite shocked, and everyone is shocked [laughs] around here. That's a good thing to-
I've aged really well.
Yeah, good for you, dude. I've, I've been putting on the, the daily sunscreen now.
[laughs]
I'm taking the collagen 'cause of you. I'm like, "I need to stay young so that way I don't..." 'Cause I've- everyone has always said I've always looked older 'cause I've always been bigger than everybody else.
Yeah.
And i- it's happened to me since I was a young kid back when I couldn't talk, and they thought I was, uh, like, eight or nine-
[laughs]
... but I was really, like, two or three. And they would have all these conversations with me, and the only thing I could say is, "Hi," 'cause I'm, I'm a toddler.
They just didn't get it. [laughs]
They didn't get it. But yeah, I'll be back for Peach's Pit Party at 2:00 PM. Thank you, FJ, for-
Yeah
... joining today. Make sure to listen to him on Alt 101 Saturdays, 10:00 to 3:00. [upbeat music]
