The noon hour of madness and mayhem powered by Jalisco's, the podcast. Alright, Victor. I'm recording on the camera on the webcam. Alright. I'm recording also the podcast version of this show, and we're on the air at the same time.
Alright. We'll just record everywhere. And, I'll put my my phone pointed at you when we try these, Jacklynx wild meat sticks. I saw these at grocery outlet last night. They're inspired by the flavors of Doctor Pepper.
I sent out a Snapchat saying I'm gonna make Victor eat this meat stick. Alright. Well, I hope it doesn't, you know, have the flavors of, listener Doctor Pepper. I hope this is the soda. You know what I'm talking about?
I hear you're saying. So Oh, I don't like a camera in my face. I'm setting up my phone Alright. Leaning against the against the, the pole. That actually actually looks pretty good.
Makes you look taller. I'm very tall. I never lie. Alright. There we go.
Should we just eat these? Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. The smell is definitely brown sugar.
Oh, yeah. And meaty. Mhmm. Have a nice whiff, people. Yeah.
Scratch and sniff the camera or the screen. Alright. Doctor Pepper jerky meat stick. That is a that is a lot sweeter than I thought it would be. I'm really pondering this one.
You wanna hate it, but you also somewhat like it don't you? Yeah. I'm, I don't taste Doctor Pepper. It's not the worst thing we've eaten. No.
No. I'd eat the whole thing. Those pickle balls that you we we tried a while back were a whole lot worse. Really bad. Yeah.
No. It's Wait. Did that just like take another bite of it. I think there's some sort of, like I was gonna say fluid inside. You guys like listening to us too?
I bet you do. People like ASMR. You you you would taste it. Right? It did seem There was like a liquid.
Something. Did they put Doctor Pepper in the middle of this like a gusher? I still, don't taste Doctor Pepper, but I taste just like a sweet meat stick. Sweet meat? Oh, yeah.
Like, some sweet meat. That's getting added to the soundboard. So $1 at Grocery Outlet? Yeah. 99¢.
It's a regular price regular price $4 for one of these. Wow. Well, I mean, they are huge. They're like 2 feet long. So, I like it.
It it's just different. And the, the texture is kind of weird for a meat stick. I think that's what that sensation of the liquid inside. It's good though. That was the whole point of us trying these out was to get a jade pucker alert because we we know, like, there's a lot I'm not even gonna repeat what I wanna say.
Yeah. Yeah. Let's let's, play it safe. But Jade is up on the mountain. So But there is a liquid of this meat stick.
You think so? Yes. As you've taken more than 2 bites? Yeah. About 3 or 4.
Okay. I mean oh, yeah. And you pointed out they hide the, nutritional information on the inside. It's like, oh, it's packed with protein. How much salt and sugar is in it?
Look at the ingredients. Beef and pork, mechanically separated chicken, and then water, sugar, salt, and then there's more like All those, like, weird things. Yeah. Weird oils and stuff. Things that would make RF Kennedy friendly.
That's what I was gonna say. RFK is gonna be banning these before we know it. Oh, I don't like the meat sticks with Doctor Pepper, only with the real pure cane sugar. I know it's fine. There's been a lot of people online as of late that have pointed out how in Mexico there is that sticker that says Excesso Calorias.
Yeah. And if it if if a cereal has that a cereal box has Excesso Calorias on the box, there's no mascot because they don't want kids to eat it. Oh, really? I didn't notice that when I was in Mexico. But I what I did notice is if it said Excesso Calorias, for some reason, it ended up in my shopping cart.
It's a magic trick because they have such delicious meal. Oh man. You know, going to Walmart in Mexico is incredible. Everything is so cheap. They have all kinds of great treats and stuff.
It's awesome. I mean, it's been a couple years. I I would assume everything has gone up there as well, but, shopping for food and treats and, I mean, beverages, everything in Mexico, it's so great. Just because, you you get so much more bang for your buck. It's awesome.
If you go out to eat in Tijuana, can eat like a king and it's dirt cheap. It's great. Well, as a bonus for the people that will tune into this episode on the podcast, they can hear us audibly review the Jack Wild, Jack Links. Wild meat stick inspired by the flavors of Doctor Pepper, 11 grams of protein, but they failed to mention that there's also, like, a ton of calories and a bunch of sugar and all that stuff in this thing. You might as well avoid this.
Well, I don't know. I think if you wanna try something different You know what? Maybe a representative of Jack Links will, hear this on the air. I endorse this. I say, you know what?
Put it in all the schools. Let's just disagree with RFK and I don't eat meat sticks. Right. I only eat raw meat. No.
He only eats the stuff on the side of the road. He does like roadkill from what he's said. You know, he does enjoy, picking up a nice carcass and bringing it home and, I guess, slicing it up. Weird. I can't imagine coming home.
Hey, honey. Look at the dead possum I just got. Yeah. I mean, around here, you know, people will do things like, harvest a deer that's been hit by a vehicle. That makes sense.
Yeah. But, RFK seems to me like he would harvest squirrels and things. Yeah. Weird food. You know, didn't he say he decapitated a whale?
I think he did. Yeah. That's not something to brag about. I was I was harvesting it. I was very hungry.
Like sure if you're if you're like in a remote Alaskan village Yeah. Then that's something worthy, you know, doing. Whale doesn't sound like it would be very delicious, you know? Sounds very chewy. It does sound very chewy.
And I mean, I'm not a big fish fan to begin with, the band or the food, but, you know, like a nice halibut. That's really good. Whale. It just, it I don't know. It's kinda like shark.
Just doesn't sound good. You know? Maybe, maybe we need to get RFK on the show to talk about his favorite roadkill. And do you, do you think he'd, I'd be happy to talk to a radio in a, you know, conservative place like Idaho. I'm just imagining the artist drop that we would get out of him.
Hello. It's RFK, and you're listening to k there. I like that letter because it's it's my name. Give me some of that Doctor. Pink Pepper beef.
The whole point of this break was just for you to do an RFK impression. I guess so. I'm gonna take another bite of this Doctor. Pepper beef. Even though I just ate a cheeseburger, might as well have more beef.
And we're not supposed to eat in the studio, so don't tell Jade, but he's up on the mountain. Walked by and saw you. Katie, I didn't do it. Don't worry about it. Gone now.
Alright. Yeah. She she didn't she didn't see nothing. And didn't you say Jade's on the mountain? Yeah.
So he didn't go to know. But he's tuning in right now, isn't he? Maybe. Yeah. He's not listening to any other station besides us.
Jade, we're just playing. We're not really eating in the studio. That's right. Victor has a post it note in his mouth. Yeah.
This is, as far as I know, we can have gum. Right? It was just chewy. Yeah. Chewy.
It was a nice, juicy fruit. So people like to complain What? About a lot of different things. What? What are you talking about?
Weird things. Alright. What do you got, Peter? I sometimes check-in on the SiriusXM Octane Facebook group, but I got I got to thank SiriusXM Octane for playing a lot of the y'all alternative cowboy core songs now because I was just chatting with loyal listener Troy Mhmm. And his wife who doesn't necessarily like us for whatever reason.
What? Us personally or our radio station? The station. Okay. Station.
Alright. But I think she only listened to SiriusXM because she liked the no commercials and it's only music. Occasionally, you'll get Jose Mangan talking about bands he hung out with, etcetera, but there's no real show on Octane. Yeah. And they disguise the commercials, everybody.
Come on. According to Troy though, that she's getting annoyed by the amount of country they're playing. So she's thinking about joining the K Bear Rock Army and listening to us. She needs to start immediately right now. And, yeah, we're guilty of a country tinged track every now and again.
But they're playing jelly roll. They're playing tons of Lakeview. Yeah. Hardy. Hardy.
It's Tim Montana that guy Tim Montana. Tim Montana gets played on hard drive. Yeah. Yeah. Not on our like, you know Yeah.
We play them on, Outlaw, 105 Outlaw. Yeah. We got Tim Montana over there. If you're into outlaw country. Yeah.
And, you know, as far as the country tinged stuff we play, we, you know, get kind of weird with it like Bill Murray or, you know, we throw out demands for listener feedback like with the new Cory Mark song, and that's definitely very, distorted guitar driven. I mean, it's definitely got a country feel. I was gonna say I heard it for the first time in a while, and it does sound very country. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, doesn't it have like Alan Jackson on it and And I don't know.
Sully Erna of Godsmacking it too. Yeah. Couple a couple country artists. This guy named Brandon in the SiriusXM Octane Facebook group decided I don't like anyone with a name even close to Brandon. Go ahead, bitch.
I got a salute for you right here. He says, does anyone think Spirit Box's songs are kinda all over the place and lack structure? I like them, but I feel like there's no obvious chorus. Oh, yeah. Okay.
This guy has never been introduced to anything proggy ever in his life. No. Are people leaving comments, like, with, links to, I don't know, King Crimson? Let's see here. Maybe Stephen Wilson, impossible tightrope.
I'm sure all of this boils down to taste slash opinions, but I agree for the most part, at least for me, even when the sound shifts to a heavy part, there's a feeling of energy seems to be missing. Sure, old girly isn't ugly, but sure, she tries way too hard to be sexy. Wow. Okay. This is a couple of weeks.
From a guy named Shaggy. Shaggy. Come on, bro. Come on, bro. Dude, how how cringe these ladies This guy said I really like her sound, but I also don't really care for a lot of female singers.
So wow. Wait. What's his name? PJ. PJ.
PJ. He also has a nickname in in his name too. Howling Wolf. Are you kidding me? PJ howling Wolf Rodriguez.
That's, that's his Facebook name. Oh, PJ howling Wolf Rodriguez. We have shaggy. We have howling Wolf. Well, so you're telling me that rich broadcasting has invaded There you go.
That's what I was alluding to. Fan club. Don and Shaggy just hanging out trash and spirit box. Which I I don't think they would at all. I don't think they would either.
I mean, when when I saw Don at, Judas Priest, he was having a great time. Yeah. He was he was having a lot of fun. You can't you don't always just listen to one genre. You listen to a lot of different genres.
For sure. You saw my top song of the year. That's right. And you saw Trent Reznor say his favorite song of 2024, Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso. Yeah.
And see, that one I don't get. I I can't, it's kinda like with Taylor Swift. I don't know. I just can't click with, the music of Sabrina Carpenter. It doesn't do anything for me.
Do you think Trent has a crush on her? He's kinda old. I know, but there's there's some older dudes that are into the younger woman. Or look at Shaq acting weird with Ispice. Leonardo DeCaprio.
It's gross. Bill Belichick too with the the 24 year old girlfriend. It's like, dude, he's like And how old is he? He's like 70. 70 2.
Yeah. I mean, how would you have anything to talk about with someone with that kind of age difference? Especially with him. He's like a football freak. He's very weird.
If Yeah. He's I I don't know. That's not my relationship to a judge, but still at the same time, it's like, dude, that's a little that's like me trying to relate to my friends, talking with them. They're my friends, they they vary in age. Yeah.
But, like, a lot of my friends on Discord, they're much younger because it's my friend's younger brother's Discord server. So his friends also can go from 19 to 24, 25. Yeah. I'm I think I'm the oldest one in there. Okay.
It's it's funny talking to some of them that are born in the year. I don't know what would I'm not doing the math right now, but they're born late. Yeah. And it's weird talking to them because one of them didn't know who Grimace was. I'm like, how do you not know who Grimace is?
How do you not know? But he just you know, he he grew up with anime and weird crap. Oh, yeah. Yeah. The the kids now, you know, they they definitely got a very different world of entertainment than we had Definitely.
Back in the day. Right. Back in my day, it was better, Pete. Just, man, I'm a typical person. Back in my day back in the day, we actually had better entertainment here in the US that we didn't have to go to foreign countries to, you know, take theirs and put it on our platforms.
Yeah. Well, you know, it's all going downhill. It's all going downhill. The going woke, Victor. Oh, jeez.
Don't let's not go there yet. The noon hour of madness and mayhem powered by Jalisco's I Am Peaches. Victor Wilt, guess what I did last night, Peaches? You went to bed early. Well, I tried to do that.
Failed. You didn't, what else do you think? Shave your head either. I did not give myself a haircut. You're growing the hair out.
I did not, shave my face. I'm now bolder than you. You are bolder than me right now. That's what caused me to be late this morning as I was, you know, getting carried away with the razor on my head and was like, oh, it's 7:55. I gotta run.
Now, you know, I was talking about that one time when you you called me and I'm like, I'm I'm shaving my head. I'm giving myself a haircut. Well, that was also that the stations were off the air. I'm busy. I'm giving myself a haircut.
No. What I did last night for the first time in many, many moons, I logged in to Twitch. Yeah. I log I logged in and I watched our mutual friend, Andy, matter. Oh, good for you.
And, I had a good time. You know, we were talking about prog music because of that octane post and you showed me a little bit of this band from Salt Lake. Octane post, and you showed me a little bit of this band from Salt Lake. Andy was playing music, you know, well, yeah, funny. Does.
Yeah. So someone mentioned the band Black Moth, and I thought they were talking about Black Moth Super Rainbow. So I was like, yeah. That band's great. And then he started playing it.
I'm like, oh, this isn't who I was talking about. Like, here, throw on this song from black moth super rainbow. Here, can you pull up, search for black moth super rainbow, forever heavy. Right? So Andy's show was just, you know, filled with really heavy music.
I'm like, play this song called forever heavy. And, sorry, there's an ad. Oh, yeah. We we ain't giving them no free plugs, No free plugs on this show. So this starts going.
And it's how long does it start? 4 minutes? 4 minutes 16 seconds. Yeah. Yeah.
So decent length. And it's just weird psychedelic music and then someone else chimed in and was like, hey, is there anybody in here who likes Church of the Cosmic Skull? And I'm like, yeah, they're great. And I like threw this 5 minute jam song and so I I pretty much derailed his stream for about 10 minutes with music like this. You gotta send this to that Brandon guy that was talking about Spiritbox.
Yeah. Yeah. You wanna hear something a little bit weird Brandon? Here you go. Black Moxie and Raywell.
I love these guys. It's almost like baseball music. It's similar to baseball music. They're they're excellent. But in the course of that, we got talking about breakdowns.
Peaches, I think breakdowns gotta go. I think we're done. There's too many breakdowns. See, I love breakdowns both mental and and metal. But, you know, like, I I I also appreciate a good guitar solo and I'm glad architects did did a guitar.
So I saw one of our listeners was like, what happened to Architects? And it's, like, what what do you mean what happened to Architects? This is the reason why they made a diss track to their fan base called Seeing Red. Yeah. I mean, I love breakdowns too.
But it was funny because Andy was like, yeah, I got sick of breakdowns. Sorry. Like in the early 2000. I'm like, dude, you should see modern radio music. Every band has even Papa Roach throws breakdowns into songs.
I think Andy plans on flying out to Salt Lake City to go to that Amber Lynn and Copeland show with us. Woah. He wants to. Okay. So I'm like, hey, if you do, man, we gotta get you into the studio and talk about music and all that fun stuff.
Now why couldn't he pick a better show? He's into Copeland big time. I know he was playing that, American football band on his show last night. I'm like, dude, come on. Get out of here.
My my friend Hunter, who I told you about, who loves trains and all that, he also loves Midwest Emo. Like, the the crappier the vocals, the better. Yeah. I just you know, it's it's another realm that I just can't click. That's all he listens to is just Midwest Emo.
I would definitely listen to Sabrina Carpenter over American football. I think I would listen to Midwest Emo over this. Oh, not me. I love this stuff, man. And their music videos are crazy.
I don't know if you're on just an audio track or Yeah. They're staring at this like rainbow looking thing with the face Yeah. Blowing a bubble. Yes. That sounds sounds about right.
Their music videos are surprisingly dark and disturbing with this type of sound. They're very very fun. But, yeah, we got talking breakdowns in every single song. You just know it's coming and like the new Whitechapel song that came out, like, yesterday or the day before? Yesterday.
That song's great. It's like so heavy. I still look great. Card soon. Yeah.
First trick. I think, you know, Phil is coming out to prove something with his vocals on these new white cap songs. Though. He's the king of the metal vocals. Dude, after listening to these new songs, man, I mean, you know, Will Ramos gets a lot of praise.
Alex, terrible. But Phil on these new songs, man, he's just killed. I think he proved his point when he did that song from Suicide Silence at the Mitch Lurker, funeral celebration events. Yeah. I remember that.
One of the he he covered one of their tracks and Mitch was always known for his vocals. Yeah. Yeah. Phil nailed it. So, you know, it's it's hard because I was like trashing breakdown not trashing them, but saying enough's enough.
You know? They're they're overused. Then I heard that Whitechapel song, which is one of the best breakdowns ever. So I don't know. I just think bands they gotta figure out a way to do it in a in an original way because it's there's a lot of generic breakdowns.
Well, I I hope you're ready because once I learn the metal vocals, like, I'm gonna I'm gonna come up to you and be like and be like, alright. We gotta get Joey, Steve, and you together for a a crazy, pale faced Swiss style album. And I it's gonna go nuts. The lyrics the lyrics are awful. Well, it's not hard to write a generic breakdown.
Yeah? Yeah. But we we gotta open core just done. But we gotta use, like, Steve and Joey to their talents and make it just insane. Well, yeah.
See in that, I'm cool with that if people spice it up. But, you know, when you're just ready for it, here we go. Another breakdown. And it's weird because We're gonna have me and you screaming on the songs. That'd be fun.
It's crazy. Yeah. How long it takes trends to really kick in because breakdowns, I mean, that was a big thing again, 20 years ago. And now it's finally catching on with like pop evil doing breakdowns. You're like, alright.
Well, I guess if it gets the kids into heavier music, I'm fine with it, but, I'm so just bored of them. Wrapping up the hour of madness, Samayim powered by Jalisco's I am peaches. Victor, what? We're already on the last break. Already on the last break.
It flew by. I guess so. Time by. I was about to make that joke. Darn it.
You beat me to it. Off air. I think it was, like, yesterday or something. You were listening to the new Costco guys new metal song. Yeah.
Unfortunately. Thank you for throwing that at me, peaches. You're welcome. I also threw something else at you that was also, even worse than that. Oh, I guess I haven't seen that one yet.
No. No. You you you said OMG so cringe to it. The the Tom McDonald of Roseanne's song. Yeah.
Oh. Oh, boy. I said get this on z right away at the top of every hour. Just don't even tell Katie. Just play it.
Well, this is a nice segue speaking of, you know, whiny dudes like Tom McDonald. Oh, God. I've been doing a lot of talking about whiny men recently because there's all these guys. If you're just making breaks about me, at least say my name. Okay.
I know. I've had it with these whiny dudes. But, we were talking off air. I think it was you. Maybe it was Jade about how meet and greets are becoming, less common.
Bands are stopping meet and greets, where for a long time there, easy way for them to make extra money. And I would be willing to bet that a a big part of the reason that a lot of artists, especially female artists are canceling meet and greets are because of creepy dudes. Creepy dudes. I just wanna point out to guys. I'm sorry.
While you were talking, I'm trying to avoid eye contact while trying to eat this meat stick. Jade used to eat a banana every noon hour while holding, you know, just nonstop eye contact. So don't worry, peaches. Nothing could be as disturbing as that. But I just wanna let guys know if you go out and you meet a band and there's a female member and you're taking a picture, don't put your arm around them.
It's not it's not right as far as I'm concerned. You see every photo of me. I don't touch people. Exactly. You look at the pictures of me.
I got my hands usually like in my pockets or to my sides. Like, when we did the, photo with Skillet when they were here a few months ago, Jen Ledger, the drummer, she put her arm around me. I still didn't put my arm around her. Have have you seen sorry to interrupt. Have you seen Keanu Reeves put his arm around people, but his fists are balled up?
Yeah. Like, he's just, like, he's he's levitating over the person? Yeah. Like, I and I don't mind, like, if a listener sees me, like, hey. Give me a hug.
I'm I'm fine with it, but I would imagine a lot of people. That's quite the invasion of space. And I've seen it happen where dudes will just put their arm around some girl and just stop that dude. See, I put my arm around most dudes. Dude.
Yeah. I mean seem like a guy. No, man. What's up, dude? Well, if you know them.
But even, yeah, if you don't know a dude, I wouldn't put my arm around them either. Like, Well, I know for you, you're like the guy who's like, I don't wanna be touched. I'm afraid of germs. Well, not really though because you've you've seen me give listeners hugs and stuff like that. I'll shake hands.
But you look so awkward doing it because you you, like, you're so, like, in Well, I don't wanna be I I I don't know. I just I always want people to be comfortable, you know, and you never know what little slight thing you might do to make somebody uncomfortable. Right. And I've I've just gotta say, I mean, I've seen some weird dudes at meet and greets before. You listeners, maybe I'm talking about you.
No. No. Our listeners are great, but, yeah, just try to be respectful of people's space because I don't think we're gonna, you know, continue to see meet and greets for a variety of reasons, but I'm sure discomfort, it it it's gotta be part of it. I hate awkward photos too. I don't wanna stand there, like, just smiling at the camera with my arm is, like, down to my side too.
I'm trying to figure out maybe I should that's why I do, like, the devil horns in most of the photos. That's why I make that stupid face Right. On most of mine because I'm uncomfortable too. Yeah. Because I want I want to ask Lou how he approaches that type of thing.
I think because I've seen Lou take a lot of pictures with people. I I think Lou's a stand stand there kinda guy. You know? Arms to his sides. Right.
You know, he he gets it. But, just just one of those weird things that popped into my head when we were talking about meet and greets. I'm like, yeah. If I was in a band, you know, especially when you're at a show, you got those dudes who haven't showered for many days showing up, kinda smelly. And they always say some creepy things too.
Yeah. Don't say creepy things either. Like don't leave a weird comment. I used to have a poster of you on my wall. Don't tell people that sometimes you gotta just keep things to yourself, You know?
Just keep it in your head. It's okay. You don't need to tell people. Every thought that comes to your mind, it'll be okay. The noon hour of madness and mayhem powered by Holly's ghost is a production of Riverbend Media Group.
