[upbeat music] The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast
[upbeat music] It's the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. I am Peaches.
I am Victor. Well, Peaches, we've got some interesting, uh, rock and metal, uh, news of sort from unexpected people popping up today. I, I hadn't seen the article about Kanye West's daughter.
It was posted a few minutes ago by Rock Feed. Northwest, again, one of the dumbest names out there. Northwest.
[laughs]
Not the direction. No, the 12-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West has announced her debut EP, North Forever, but it's spelt like what you would see on a license plate, like N-0-R-T-H, the number four, E-E-V-R.
Okay, note to bands, if you make a band name difficult to spell, it's not good, unless it's Korn.
Well, it's just her album name. Just her al-
K-
Just her album name.
Oh, okay
Like, her, her debut EP, North Forever, dropping tomorrow.
How old is she, did you say?
She's 12.
Oh, okay. [laughs]
Well, we- we've played a, a song from, from Harper. We still play it on Jenk's show, when she, when she, when she was 13.
That's true, and she was... She did some pretty good metal vocals.
It's called I Hope You Choke or something like that.
Now, the thing is, a lot of people say, "I'm putting out a metal album."
[laughs]
And there's a lot of different wa- you know, [laughs] ways metal can be labeled, I guess.
It says here, uh, this isn't her first step into music. North appeared on some other thing. Um, she was leaning into that emo trap sound reminiscent of Lil Uzi Vert and Playboi Carti.
Okay.
But I guess this is different, and there's some sort of a teaser here.
Let's hear it.
Okay, I'm hoping there's no cuss words.
[laughs] 12-year-olds, I guess they do swear. [rock music]
I hear some guitars.
[rock music] Forever and always. [laughs] Okay. I want them, but they talk about me all day.
Okay, there was an F-bomb in there, I think.
I don't think that was an F-bomb. I think she said, "Talk about me." You know, what are, what are 12-year-olds singing about?
Let me see. Let, let, let-
Go, talk about... Let's play it one more time. [rock music] Forever and always. I want them, but they talk about me all day.
Oh, she did say, "Talk about me."
Yeah, talk about me all the time.
I was gonna say, a 12-year-old-
[laughs]
... with a potty mouth couldn't be related to Kanye West.
Yeah. Oh, yeah, never. Never.
[laughs]
He's never said anything bad.
Or Kim. [laughs]
[laughs] So-
But not, not only, uh, is this, uh, Northwest person, uh, also dropping a heavy metal album, uh, you said Halsey as well.
Yeah, I guess Halsey, like, unloaded on her fans at a recent show, 'cause they were just standing there, um, holding their phones and not moving, and she was going crazy and playing some heavier tunes, and she's like, you know, "I, I hope you're ready for some heavy music, you know, and you gotta react to heavy music." Uh, working on a new album. She did an album with Trent Reznor at one point that was really good.
Also, Charlie XCX said, "Hey, the dance floor is dead. I'm going towards metal."
Good.
I'm going towards rock, at least.
Good. Enough. People are getting bored of that crap. Let's, let's, you know, bring that audience to the metal world, make metal the biggest genre in the world again. I was watching, uh, Trainwreck Woodstock the other night while I was trying to go to bed, and it's pretty crazy.
So you, you-
Late '90s, '99, the biggest artists out there were Korn, Chili Peppers, Limp Bizkit.
As a tactic to fall asleep, as a way to fall asleep, you decided, hey, you know what? Let's turn on a documentary about a concert travesty.
Yes. That... You know me.
[laughs]
I love, I love a good tragedy.
Oh, yeah. Absolutely. No, but Charlie XCX and, uh, who... There was somebody else. MGK, yeah.
Oh, yeah, he just put out a song with Limp Bizkit, as a matter of fact.
Yeah, we need to add that into the playlist, of course.
We do. We do. We need to get that in and, yeah, the, the more, the merrier. The more, the merrier.
Who do you think's next? Post Malone?
Who do I think's next? I... That one wouldn't be a huge surprise to me. Um-
The, the two easiest ones, the, the two easiest artists to predict are Post Malone and Demi Lovato.
Yeah, 'cause she's already been doing a little bit of rock stuff. Post Malone should. You know? All right, we get it. You d- you wanted to do a country album. Yay. All right, we've, we've heard your, uh, what- whatever that type of pop is that you do. Let's hear s- uh, did you ever see when he covered a full set of Nirvana songs?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. He did great. Did great. Give us some rock music, Post Malone. Come on.
Also, Olivia Rodrigo, after you're done promoting this album, why not,
why not go the Paramore route at least?
Yeah. Yeah. C- but she's started rocking a little bit more-
Yeah
... on her last album. I, I can see her doing-
Be fun to have you here. [laughs]
Come on down. Hang out with us. Yeah, you're, you're all welcome. All pop stars, come in, hang out. Let's get, let's get heavy. [upbeat music]
It is the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. I am Peaches.
I am tired.
Of course you are.
[laughs]
Of course you are.
[laughs]
Take a shot every time Victor says that, you'd be dead.
[laughs]
Uh, I w- yesterday I mentioned on the show how I'm gonna be interviewing, uh, Vanna. It got confirmed.
Mm-hmm.
The lead singer of Vanna.
Yeah.
And, uh, she's, she's huge into, uh, card collecting.
Yeah, you mentioned that yesterday.
And so I ended up making a post in the, uh, the group that you're banned in, uh, the Life in Idaho Falls Facebook group.
[laughs] The Southeast Idaho one?
Yeah, yeah, the Southeast Idaho one. I made a p-
Why don't they unban me? Why are they so weak?
I, the heck if I know.
[laughs]
It's, it's ran by a lady who's middle-aged. The other guy's, like, a volunteer firefighter.
Yeah. I mean, I-
I think he has more fish to fry
... I don't care, 'cause I'm not missing out on much. What's the best burrito in town?
Yeah, yeah.
You know?
Exactly, the lo- so that's what I also asked is, like, "Hey, where... Are any local card shops able to help me out in trying to get a pack or two of whatever Magic: The Gathering thing that she needs?"
Mm-hmm.
Just so I could show up to the interview and kind of talk to her about it-
Yeah
... and make that more so, 'cause I, I wanna make this interview more entertaining than just, like, "So wh- when's your next single?"
Yeah. Yeah. E- ev- everybody asks those questions.
Are you also gonna dress up half-naked for that one?
[laughs] Geez.
[laughs]
So did you, did you get any help?
Um-
Did somebody, uh, you know, name some places?
Uh, a loyal listener by the name of Tyson, um, I dropped, uh, I dropped by, or I stopped by his house yesterday-And he gave me a whole bunch of Pokemon cards to give her.
Oh, all right. Well-
Like 15 packs of the specific Pokemon thing that she wanted. The-
Okay
... the trick or treat bundle that she-
[laughs] I-
... she's been asking for.
I have no clue what, how the world of, uh, cards like that works.
If I still had my old, uh, Yu-Gi-Oh collection, I would just give her the entire thing. I would just show up to the interview with a giant box of cards and be like, "Dig through this and take whatever. Throw the rest away."
Yeah. That reminds me, I've been meaning to go through boxes in my garage, and I swear my sister gave the girls a binder full of, uh, Pokemon cards from way back in the day. These would've been from when Manda was a kid. And my kids, I, I think they left a lot of that stuff when they moved out, and I might have a big paycheck sitting around in a box somewhere. I'll sell them.
Why not?
I don't care if they're my kids.
Make a fortune. Yeah.
That's right. [laughs] I need the money.
Well, the thing is that your inheritance is gonna go to them anyway, or their inheritance is gonna go to them anyway.
Yeah, exactly.
So-
So I might as well sell them
... make, make the money now, spend it so that way they have nothing left over. [laughs] Take that, kids.
Yeah.
Gotta drive your own future.
Exactly. You're adults now. It's time for fun for me.
But yeah, a lot of people in the posts were, or a lot of people in the post were making comments like, "Hey, um, you should check out this place, this other place," that kind of thing.
Mm-hmm.
But, uh, some people were like, "Dude, my, uh, my son has these excess cards. I might just give them to you too." [laughs]
[laughs] Oh, geez.
So again, I might end up with a giant crate full of cards-
[laughs]
... and be like, "East Idaho loves you, Vonna. Dig through these." We might do like a full-on card opening extravaganza. I mean, who knows what could happen.
Yeah.
It's always fun interviewing the... I don't wanna say Vonna is a lower tier rock star, but-
She's newer
... the, the band is new. And w- with Deadlands opening up w- for them, and I had the chance to not only interview the, the Casey and CJ of Deadlands, but I also, um, got to hang out with them. Like, it was a unique experience.
Yeah.
Something that you would never experience with a band like Bad Omens or something like that.
Yeah, yeah.
So I'm hoping that maybe that happens with th- with this band. All of a sudden I'm just hanging out with them backstage or something.
Cool. Well, I hope it-
Talking about cards
... I hope it goes good. And, uh, listeners, if you have extra cards you just wanna get rid of, I guess drop them off at the front desk.
Yeah, stop by the studio. All of a sudden Kennedy comes by.
[laughs]
"Hey, somebody dropped off like 500 baseball cards for some reason." [laughs]
[laughs]
I mean, I think she'd take those too.
Probably. People into-
Kennedy and I'd take them
... people who are into card collecting, they like to collect cards, so, well.
[laughs] Put that to the inspirational messages.
Yeah.
People who like card collecting [laughs] like to collect cards. [laughs]
That's what Victor says. [laughs]
[laughs] [upbeat music] Well, Victor, this guy, uh, posted this, uh, lengthy, uh, lengthy thing about how he had to cancel his wedding, so I figured we would, uh, give our two cents that I'm sure the guy will not hear-
Okay
... on the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. This guy says, "I just canceled my wedding just two weeks before the event because I checked my fiance's phone and discovered she has a secret savings account with over $50,000 that she never told me about. We've been living together for three years, and during all that time I've been covering 80% of the expenses, including rent, dinners, even her vacations, under the premise that she barely made it to the end of the month with her salary."
Hmm.
"I even took out a personal loan to pay for half of the wedding party she wanted so badly while she said she couldn't contribute more because she was at zero."
Hmm.
"While I... When I, when I confronted her, she didn't apologize. She yelled at me that I was a stalker for invading her privacy, and that the money is her emergency fund in case things go wrong."
Okay.
"Something her mom advised her to always keep secret. My friends say I overreacted. That is, that in the end it's her money and there was no physical infidelity, so I shouldn't throw three years away."
Hmm.
"I feel like I lived with a scammer who left me carrying all the financial weight while she built a fortune behind my back. She says that if I loved her, her bank account wouldn't matter to me."
Hmm.
"I say the trust is broken forever. What would you do? Is it okay to have financial secrets like that in a relationship, or is it total betrayal? I'm reading you all."
Huh. That's a, that's a tricky one. I don't know what I'd do in that situation. I mean, when you get... Depending on what state you live in, you know, the marriage laws are all different, and stuff like that could end up be- becoming, uh, both of their stuff, you know. Like, when I got divorced, we had to split up all our stuff. You know, it, it, it wasn't li- Like, we got to decide, I guess. But if it came down to money, the court might order it to be split up. I, I don't know. What would you do, Peaches? I, I would feel
like she'd been hiding stuff from me. And, uh, it's like, if you're gonna hide that, what else are you hiding, you know?
I, I guess. I mean, I, I feel like I would do something similar to where it's like have an emergency fund just in case. You know, just in case something crazy happens. But I put it under, like, my parents' name.
Yeah.
So that way she doesn't take it from me.
Hmm.
I'm a smart thinker like that.
Yeah.
Or the fact that there was that one time in the NBA some, uh, the one, the, the one team this guy was on, um, was about to give him a super max extension, but they waited for the guy's divorce to finalize, then gave him all the money.
Ooh.
So that way he could have it all.
Yeah.
Which is, I mean, fair-
I-
... because why does she deserve it? He's the one playing basketball. He's worked his butt off to make it to the professional league. Just because, you know, she, you know, hopped in there with him, you know, that kind of thing-
Yeah
... or she, she joined along later.
But they have those, what, what do they call it? You know, like sometimes one of the people in the divorce will have to continue paying the other person money. I forget what that's called.
Mm-hmm.
But, um,
so in that situation, 'cause it- they'll base it on, like, future earnings or something. I remember Anthony Cumia complaining about it on, uh, the Opie and Anthony show. But, so I don't know. I just say dump her. There you go, buddy. Dump her.
I mean, he already did.
She, she hid stuff from him, so I, I, I think you gotta be open and honest with your partner. You know, if you're gonna get married, at that point, like, "Hey, we're gonna get married," that's when you gotta be open and... I mean, you should be before that, but-
Or just get a prenup
I guess. But yeah, the prenup, she's probably gonna be like, "I want my $50,000." [laughs] And if-
Well, that was before
... if, if he was paying for everything the whole time, and she's acting like she doesn't have money, that's kinda messed up. Doesn't sound, doesn't sound like she was doing her fair share.
It seems like typical gaslighting on her part.
Yeah.
It seems like, "Oh," like, "you- if you really loved me, this wouldn't bother you."
Yeah. I-
Like, it's like one of those people that just cheats and then goes, "It's your fault that I was driven away."
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
It's like, shut up. [laughs]
Yeah. No, I, I think he did the right thing ultimately, just 'cause o- of a, you know, trust issues. I think, you know, if you're gonna get married, you, you gotta be open, honest with your partner. Trust is the most important thing. She's hiding stuff. She's hiding stuff, buddy.
Love is the death of peace of mind.
[laughs] [upbeat music]
Wrapping up the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. Victor, I was telling you that I was doing those, uh, Mounjaro shots, and they've been really helping, helping, uh, suppress my appetite-
Mm-hmm
... for wanting a late-night snack or wanting extra food when-
Mm
... I really don't need it. And of course, I have, like, the l- I'm taking, like, the lowest dosage.
Yeah.
And it's been helping already. I can't imagine taking, like, the highest one. [laughs]
[laughs]
And you're not hungry at all. You're just starving yourself-
Jeez
... which is not the best thing to do.
No.
All right?
No.
Follow a proper diet. The thing's supposed to assist in, uh-
Mm-hmm
... in weight loss. And so, um, I got off the Mounjaro sample, the s- the sample pack that I got from the doctor.
Mm-hmm.
And so I ended up getting, uh, a different kind of, uh, a different kind of GLP-1-
Okay
... where it's, it's, like, in the... It's made in the compounding lab, and it's supposed to be the same thing as Wegovy, but it's not necessarily the same thing.
Yeah.
It's just the same ingredients, but it doesn't have the Wegovy name under it or something like that.
Yeah.
So I pick it up from the pharmacy, and instead of being those, uh, those shots that I was taking with Mounjaro, it's these... it's this little vial.
Mm-hmm.
This little vial of liquid.
Oh.
And what's so stupid is that, like, you have to pay for the, the, the vial, which is, like, 100-something bucks.
Mm-hmm.
And then you pay, like, an extra dollar for the syringes and the alcohol wipes.
[laughs]
So I got four syringes for the month's supply with the, the four alcohol wipes, and I'm like, "Okay, so now I need to play scientist, play chemist, and take the, the liquid out and put it-
Mm-hmm
... in a syringe, and then inject myself with it."
Well, with all your practice shooting up, Peaches-
I guess
... you shouldn't be-
Yeah
... a drug f- [laughs]
Here's my resume of, uh, jabbing myself up.
[laughs] Huh. Yeah, I, I don't know if I could do it. I don't know if I could d- jab myself. Yeah.
You should have Becca do it, but also having Becca do it would be kind of, uh, scary.
Yeah, exactly. It's Becca.
She'd be laughing, and then she'd-
Uh-huh
... probably stab you a few times and-
[laughs] Probably. You know?
Uh, Aubrey, luckily she's, she's tame. She's-
Yeah, Becca can get kinda crazy sometimes, so.
But here's the thing. Uh, so Aubrey was nice enough. She was brave enough to... She's been brave enough to inject me with that, with that whole thing.
Mm-hmm.
But this time around, the last time, last Tuesday, um, she injects me with it and just sits there with the needle in me.
[laughs]
And I'm like, "Inject it. P- press the button."
[laughs]
I'm screaming, "Press the button." She's like, "I want, I wanna make sure I didn't hit a blood vessel." And then she-
Oh, geez
... so we're going back and forth. I'm like, "Just inject the medicine into my stomach."
[laughs]
And finally she does, and sure enough, no, no blood came out. Nothing was wrong, but-
Well, that's good
... I was hoping we got the right dosage. Luckily, her, her brother-in-law, uh, he's a doctor, so we were talking about the conversion of milliliters to, to cc's, milligrams to cc's.
Mm-hmm.
It's like, why is it so difficult?
Yeah, they-
Why can't I just get the preset shots? I pay this much money to do my own jabbing.
We're, we're-
BYOM today
... talking about, we're talking about medical stuff, Peaches. They gotta make it as ridiculously expensive and pain in the butt as possible.
This time it's a pain in the stomach. [laughs]
Pain in the stomach.
Yeah, that's right.
You should start injecting it right into your butt cheek.
I think it j- they just tell you to put it in a fatty part of yourself.
There you go.
So-
Butt cheek. Might hurt less than the stomach. I don't know.
Nah.
Jabbing myself in the stomach doesn't sound very fun.
'Cause you have to sit on your butt and-
Yeah
... it, it's like you're gonna have that bruise, 'cause I had some bruising with the Mounjaro once.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, I mean, anytime you get stuck, you can get a pretty nasty bruise, so.
At least it's not like diabetes where you have to, like, jab your finger and get the blood-
Mm-hmm
... and see how much blood su- how bad your blood sugar is and-
Gotta do that, uh, all the time.
My dad had to do that.
Mm-hmm.
I think he's stopped now, but I just can't imagine doing that.
Ugh, I need to start eating better and exercising.
Oh, yeah, my dad was telling me. He was like... [laughs] 'Cause I told... uh, 'cause I was talking to the lady at the, the doctor's office on the phone and trying to get my- the, the insurance to cover the whole thing.
Mm-hmm.
And it's like, well, they would only do that if it's, like, a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis. I'm like, I'd rather have no diabetes-
Yeah
... than [laughs] be covered for this.
Yeah, exactly.
But, uh, when it comes to these, uh, what, what was she saying? She was like, "Oh, let's take a look at your A1C." And she goes, "Oh, that's beautiful." [laughs]
[laughs]
I'm like, that's a great thing to hear from a doctor.
Oh, yeah.
I'm nearly 400 pounds, and the A1C is beautiful.
[laughs] Yeah, you like when they give you the good news.
Yeah, yeah.
For sure.
The worst part is when you step on that scale.
I, yeah.
You go to the-
Oh, my God
... when they have, when they take your weight for no reason.
Mm.
Like, what are they gonna use it for? Just, just for that, to shame you?
Yeah.
You're-
Well, you put on some weight since the last time you were in, huh?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, your $900 doctor appointment, it's like, "Oh, drink water. Stop eating as much as you have." Like, all the basic stuff you know.
Yeah, exactly. You know, some good common sense information.
Yeah.
Pay tons of money for that.
Are, are you feeling mentally unwell? Knock it off.
Yeah, they, they always ask that one, and, um, glad I haven't had to go in for a while.
But I think my daughter just had a super expensive, uh, medical appointment, so maybe I've gotten close to my deductible. Maybe it's time to go get some things done.
Why not, uh, you know, uh, say, like, "Hey,
you, you, you ha- you've had, you have this very expensive medical thing, whatever. I'm gonna sell your Pokemon cards- [laughs]
Yeah
... and use that to buy myself the Dolce & Gabbana refrigerator."
Heck yeah. Good idea, Peaches. Good idea. [upbeat music]
