The noon hour of madness and mayhem powered by Jalisco's, the podcast. Yo yo yo. Victor, we had a lot of tour announcements today. That is true. Go over them, peaches.
I'll sit back and go, yeah. That's a good one. Well, let me open up our concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com, which by the way, you can use any single time you wanna try finding a show that is coming to the area. That is correct. And, well, there was the 9 inch nails show, the big one that got announced this morning.
I did see that early this morning. I even tried calling Josh on the classy hotline to let him and Chantelle know because Chantelle might have a little bit of a crush on, Trent Reznor. Really? No wonder Josh is like, I hate 9 Inch Nails. Josh doesn't like 9 Inch Nails or Dua Lipa because her dad is apparently good looking and Chantel has a, little thing for him too.
Jeez. Jeez. But I don't feel, you know, What what is it? Insuperior, unsuperior? Yeah.
Or just insecure about things. Yeah. You already got her, Josh. Yeah. Yeah.
You've been married for a good amount of time. You have 2 great kids with each other. That's right. You're good. Racked up all that debt together.
You're stuck, buddy. You're good. Right. Right. Nothing to worry about.
But there's that show happening at the Mavericks Center on August 11th. Woo. 9 inch nails at the Mavericks Center. Yeah. I mean, we got shine down in Bush, like, 3 days before that.
So I'm thinking I might just if I if I really want to, I could spend a good week or so in Salt Lake City. That's a long time in Salt Lake, peaches. I don't know. Yeah. That's what it is a long time.
I don't know either. I don't know if I wanna see shine down with Bush. I'm gonna be like one of our listeners and say, if it was shine down with Beartooth, then maybe I would go. I mean, what is wrong opener. Bush put on a good show.
Bush. They put on a good show, man. They put on a good show. You can always call up Howie Rock. Hang on.
I'm going, Howie, can I come stay at your house for a week? Yeah. Can I bring my CPAP and sleep in your garage or something? Maybe your home studio. I can kinda cut the show from there.
Exactly. Just, you know, give him a call. He seems nice enough. He might be nice enough. Jay did say he's gonna try to go to the 9 inch nails show in, Boston on August 29th because it's him and, you know, his wife's anniversary.
Why would he go all the way to Boston? His anniversary is the same date as my birthday. So I think we're both planning to take the same week off because I wanna go back home and just Okay. Celebrate with my friends and family, you know? Yeah.
Boston is a nice city. I'd only been there once, and, I saw Sleep Token. It'd be fun to go see, 9 Inch Nails in Boston. Is that the TD Garden? Not familiar with it.
I I'm sure that, Judith's been there before. I I I think it's a famous venue. What's it called? Oh, it's home of the that's what it is. I was wondering, like, I know I know it's a sports venue.
It's home of the Pittsburgh the Boston Bruins. That's what it is. I was at Pittsburgh Penguins. The Boston Bruins. That's where they play.
What's the name of the venue? TD Garden. TD Garden. Oh, okay. I thought that Did I say that?
You did, but I thought you were unsure. So alright. Yeah. I mean, Salt Lake seems, easier to me. You know, if I'm gonna fly to Boston for a show Boston.
I'm gonna see a show we can't see here. But, you know, I guess it's a good excuse to go to Boston. Well, now we have nonstop flights to, to Denver and back from Idaho Falls. Yeah. And that's pretty cool.
Go to shows out in Denver. That that's true. That's true. I saw 9 inch nails was gonna be in Phoenix, but, I think it's during a brutal time of year. Oh, yeah.
The time where Victor can get a tan. That Phoenix winter, you know, August. Phoenix winter. Yeah. You know, You stay inside because it's 120 outside.
Average temperature, Phoenix, August. I'm guessing 110 average high. 105, low of 81. Yeah. If you get if you get, 105, you're you're sitting pretty good.
I've been to pot desert before when it's like at 125. It's unbearable. Dude, it's crazy. But that that dry heat is not fun. But it it's not as bad as the humid heat.
It's not. But still, I mean, when you sit there, like at 9 PM and you're sweating eating a cheeseburger because it was during COVID when I was there. Oh, yeah. And we had to sit outside because, you know, the sickness could get inside. And, I'm sweating.
I got chopped chilies on my burger so it's spicy and I'm just I'm looking like an idiot. Just a big fat sweaty mess outside the window. My ex is, you know, wiping me off. I'm just like, it is weird. Just just chowing down on this burger.
It is weird being in those places where, you you know, it could be midnight and you crack the car window and it feels like you're in an oven, you know. But the desert's pretty brutal, man. Yeah. Pretty brutal. I I don't think I'd book a concert vacation in Phoenix or Vegas that time of year.
Yeah. Yeah. Well, there's also there's the 9 inch nails show. What else is there? There was, oh, 25 years of Bayside that I told Josh Tyler of Classy 90 7 about as well, and he was jumping for joy in there.
Yeah. I quickly I love Bayside. I love Bayside. You know, he's he's going nuts. Didn't he go see them a while ago with Jade?
He did. He's never been to the depot. That's where they're performing. They're doing they're doing 2 separate nights. I believe the first night is half of their albums.
The second the second night's the other half of their albums. Okay. Yeah. You know, not not my thing, but I hope he has fun. I just like I just like saying that Josh does stuff even though he doesn't.
I think Josh is going to a Broadway show this weekend as a matter of fact. Down in Salt Lake. Oh, I know which one you're talking about. Yeah. That's gonna be a fun one.
I've seen it twice. I would go to. And it's excellent. It it's amazing. I was watching I I saw some sort of thing about how Jake Gyllenhaal warned Josh Gad about not performing in that specific Broadway musical because it's a little too raunchy or explicit or out there, you know?
Yeah. Josh Gad ended up just fine. Oh, yeah. I think he did pretty well for himself. I think he did very well for himself.
Especially with that Olaf role. You know, that very tiny Olaf role. Yeah. No. You know, those movies were only a tiny bit popular.
Frozen. Yeah. I think Josh Gad's okay. Well, there's that one. And then there's what else was there today?
There was something else too. I I All I saw was 9 Inch Nails that got me excited. Oh, obituary as well. Oh, that's right. And I might wanna hit that one up since my homie Charlie's, their lighting guy.
I think I've met him before. I think he did his show. Met him. Did he do the Royal Bliss show at the I bet. At hurricanes?
Yeah. He gets up here for Royal Bliss stuff. He's a good dude. My homie. I feel bad.
I I wanna talk to him about Meshuggah's lighting guy because I wanna know what's it like to be Meshuggah's lighting dude. Every single YouTube video, their lighting's going crazy to the beat of the songs. I've actually talked to Charlie about, Meshuggah's lighting. Have you? And, a lot of lighting guys are not a fan of Meshuggah's lighting because, you know, it's I can only imagine why.
It's nonstop or relentless, and they're like, no. You're gonna create the mood, but it works perfect with Meshuggah's music. It does. Because the guy knows the songs and he's in time with them, and it's really crazy. So Meshuga, I I think if I don't go to Meshuga in Boise, my friend Nick might no no longer be my friend.
He's been very adamant I have to come there. I mean, April 6th, that is a It's a Sunday. Right? It's a Sunday. So it it's doable.
The show in Salt Lake City is the Saturday. Yeah. You should just go to that one. Yeah. It's closer too.
I can stay at Nick's house for free in Boise. Oh, oh, so he lives over there. I thought he lived here. No. No.
He lives in Boise. So I mean, I would love to go to that show too, but so much stuff is going on in April. I'm already planning my spring trip back home. I was telling Jade about it because he was like, are you are you going back home anytime soon? I'm like, well, right now there's the the scorched earth, you know, fires galore.
The another Another one just started in Riverside County. Oh, great. And then, you know, there's the massive sewage spill in Laguna Beach. So if I went down south, you would just get a big stink. Right.
I'm not doing a cannonball into that. Oh, you're a legend. Yeah. I saw well, we can bring up this story in a minute. We'll tie it into that.
But sure. If you wanna go to any concert coming to the area that has been announced, make sure to go check out the concert calendar at riverbandmediagroup.com/calendar. I've done a great job keeping it updated, Victor. Say your signature phrase. Way to do your job.
There we go. Welcome to the new hour of madness and mayhem powered by Jalisco's I am Peaches. I'm Victor Will. Peaches, you were talking about Laguna Beach, which, was tainted by, what, 500,000,000 gallons? No.
500 1,000 gallons. 500,000,000 gallons would just be the absurd. That that'd be that'd be a lot for Southern California. 500,000,000 gallons of human waste. And I was talking about it with with Jade too in that meeting.
I can only imagine the uppity uppity of Laguna Beach, especially like Newport Beach. If those people travel out to Laguna, they want, I'm gonna go swimming. Oh, what is that stench? You know those uppity Californians? Why is the beach a darker brown color that I remember?
Get those people to clean it up this instant. I wanna swim. Well, when you've been out on the beach, have you ever seen mysterious Oh. Tarry balls I I know what you're talking about. On the beach?
I know a story this is about. I I have not seen these tarry balls, giant bulbal looking balls. Is that what you're talking about? Like balls of black sludge. Oh.
And, well I'm sure my friend Matt would go poke at 1. He's not sure. Let me pick it up and throw it at Jose. Yeah. If you see a ball of sand on the beach, don't pick it up.
You know, most people it it will you know, because they'll roll in the sand is with the waves, so they'd look like a sand covered ball, all black goo. Miniature version of what Target has outside their store. It's black colored black on the inside. There's sand on it. You know, we watched that video while back.
So what's a boba? I I guess, boba is a variety of colors though. These are black. Usually bobas black. Okay.
Well, anyway, they're not creatures. They're a disgusting combination of we'll we'll say human waste, cooking oil, chemicals, and illicit drugs. They kind of sound like what Jade and I talked about on air the other day. Gutter oil. Poop.
Poop. Jeff Peaches. That's, that's what's inside of them. What shouldn't you do? Poopy discoop.
No. Don't you don't wanna scoop it. Poop de poop. I mean, someone needs to scoop it because it needs to not be there. Do they explode?
I would imagine Is it like a water balloon? Explode. I I don't know. There was people there's the warnings I've seen online about these these balls on the beach. Yeah.
And I can only imagine they're on Australia, aren't they? These ones are in Australia, but they're saying that they, Yeah. Let's pretend we're 2 Australian dudes on the beach. Now do your best Aussie accent. Oh, I gotta figure out that accent.
It takes me a well, let's see. Oh, that's not a knife. Oh, crikey. That's not a ball. I can't do Australia very good.
I was gonna say pretend you're a guy about to throw one of those black balls at your friend. And I I gotta warm up the accent such. But I was gonna say they believe that these came from a, a waste spill from a ship like what you, you know, read about at Laguna Beach. Did they do that on accident or did they do it on purpose? I'm guessing it was an accident.
Let's drop the black balls into the beach of, Sydney, Australia. Well, no. You know, because they kinda mix and blend. The ocean's like a big blender. So you got the human waste It's ocean boba.
Tar and o it's ocean boba. Yeah. That's right. It's ocean boba, and it might be coming to a, beach near Southern California soon. You know those stupid looking ocean sunfish?
I I was just reading about this. You know those giant fish? It's They're huge. They look they look kinda they look sideways. Let's see.
They have big dumb faces. Sunfish. Don't you dare say they would look like me if I was a fish. I know I know what you're about to do. Look at the photo one now on to.
He said it not me. Peaches is an ocean sunfish. That's your spirit animal. Those are some weird looking fish. Yeah.
So apparently the, aquarium in Japan Are big too. The aquarium shut down. And so the, the sunfish that they have there are in distress because they're curious creatures and they're used to seeing people walk up to their cage and look at people and be happy that there's people staring at them. Okay. So they've been rubbing themselves against the tank.
Oh. Because nobody's watching the ocean sunfish. If they shut down, why didn't they transport them somewhere else? Well, the people that are running the aquarium have now put cutouts of people in front of the tank. And those are some of them just smiling swimming by.
I mean, I guess it's a solution. But why not just set them I guess they can't, you know, live in natural waters anymore. Well, I don't know. The ocean sunfish are kinda kind of dumb. I I was I was looking at a bunch of comments I don't know.
But they they they They look like they'd be dumb. Big chunks of them will be taken out of them because other fish will eat them and those continue swimming with that stupid face. I guess it's a good analogy for life. If things happen to you, just be an ocean sunfish and keep on going. That's great, Pete.
Are you gonna make a motivational poster with a ocean sunfish? Have you seen the chump front? Out of it. That's what I was looking at. It's terrifying.
Scary. This is another example of why Victor will then go in natural waters. Well, I mean, you're not gonna go that far into deep ocean, are you? I don't think these things are washing up on shore. At least they're they're they can get up to, like, 10 feet.
Yeah. They're they're huge, dude. They're huge and scary. Let me see. Oceanside fishes.
They've got to be one of the ugliest fish I've seen. Oh, there's olive flounders. Up to 10 feet long and weigh up to £5,000, Victor. Yeah. I see a guy standing next to one and it's gigantic.
£5,000. Oh, these are gross. Do they taste good? Do people eat them? Are they are ocean sunfish edible?
You know, because, you know, we know people don't like to eat cute animals. They're not commonly eaten and they're considered endangered, but, yeah, ocean sunfish are edible. In some Asian countries such as Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, they're considered a delicacy. Okay. Yeah.
You know, when you see that something's a delicacy in some places, it usually means it's not good. Yeah. It's been banned in the European Union. Okay. Yeah.
Leave the ocean sunfish alone and let other fish take bites out of those, dumb looking pancakes. Victor, you're an old gamer. How dare you? I already talked about being an old gamer earlier. Did you see this posted on AskReddit old gamers what 10 plus year old game is worth?
What playthrough? Oh, no. I didn't see that particular one. I the post I saw was Yeah. Gamers who are 30 plus, what games do you still go back to from when you were in your prime and play?
It's like, I'm in my gaming prime right now. Alright? At 42. I wouldn't say your prime. I I wouldn't say.
I mean, I'm probably 1st person shooter. I feel like, well, you might, musk it if you will. I I bet if I practiced enough, I could get better, but, you know, I don't know. I'm just not huge on the first person shooter. Well, the top common 10 plus year old, that's not so old gamers then.
Witcher 3, Fallout 4, GTA 5. Yeah. I was gonna say, like years old. You gotta go back further if you want some kind of a recommendation because, most of these big games keep getting released over and over again and everybody's playing the same stuff, that's been out for a long time. I mean, they just rereleased The Last of Us part 1 a couple years ago.
It's the Hollywood effect of, like, let's rerelease these classic games because we're not doing anything spectacular on our end. No. I mean, I just played through the remastered GTA San Andreas. I mean, there's nothing else besides, like, GTA 6 that everyone's excited for. Yeah.
Nothing else. Pretty much. I can't think of any upcoming games that I'm, like, so pumped for. Well, Resident Evil 9, you know, because I'm What's that coming out? I don't know.
I don't know. I I I wanna say I saw something about it coming out this year, but but, yeah, old gamers games that came out 10 years ago. No. A lot of these 4 year olds in the comment section are extremely mad at this guy for posting this. It's like, dude, if you wanna talk about old games, we gotta go back 30 years.
How about what what games were 30 years old in 2025? Find out when was Super Nintendo released? I bet it's older than I, think. When was the Super Nintendo system released? In 2020 5, games like Chrono Trigger, Front Mission, Mega Man 7, Mortal Kombat 3, and Super Bomberman 3 will be celebrating their 30th anniversary.
Oh, geez. As they were released in 1995. Wow. Mortal Kombat 3? Time Crisis, twisted metal.
Yeah. See Taken 2, Command and Conquer. So, yeah, those are old games I would say at this point. And to me, they're not even like super old. When I think of old games, I think of Atari.
Back in my day, we had a it was a controller that had a joystick and one button and it worked just fine. Jeez. I'm looking at games that are 20 years old. Yeah. I bet they're.
Battlefield 2, Diablo 2, Star Wars Battlefront 2. Yeah. See, a lot of these were during a period when I wasn't really doing a lot of gaming because I had, young, like, little babies. Conker Live and Reloaded. I don't remember that.
Live and reloaded? Yeah. I don't remember that. That was, during my gaming, you know, I don't know this, the spell with no games. I don't know what I'm supposed to call it there, but there was a good chunk of time I didn't do any gaming.
And it was right around a little while after the GameCube came out till, you know, sometime after PlayStation 3 had been out of the past 12 months. Started. Was GameCube, but then went to PlayStation 3. My parents bought me it the day it was released and, you know, got it to me for Christmas and sure enough, I'm like, can I switch to Xbox a year later? Because all my friends were on Xbox.
I had one guy that was on PlayStation 3 with me. We just hung out. That was it. Yeah. I had a PlayStation 2, but they were kind of crappy systems.
Hot take. Yeah. No. I mean, there were good games, but the system itself, it, like, stopped working. Like, was it the Xbox 1 that had the red ring of death?
No. That was the 360. The 360. Yeah. Okay.
The series x, I think, is probably one of the worst ones with Really? With the disc drive not working and Oh, yeah. You mentioned that. Things like that. I was just talking to a listener about that.
It would cost at least like a 100 plus dollars to get it replaced. Wow. They would have to rip the whole thing apart and then it That's just crazy. Could ruin the system if it, you know, goes if they've decided to put it replace it, put a new one in, it could ruin the entire thing. This just reminded me of something we talked about the other day, relating to Xbox.
You know, you were talking about the Game Pass Yes. And how people with Xbox, they're they're just not buying games. People shouldn't be buying games, especially these ridiculous prices that they're trying to push for GTA 6 to be 80 to $100, nobody's gonna buy that at full price for the most part. I mean, I shouldn't say no, but there's gonna be, you know, a few hardcore idiots out there that go like, I'm buying it. I'll do it.
I'll do it. $80? You don't think people will buy GTA 6? Bucks is so much money. I I don't care how rich you are, $80 is a lot of money.
It is a lot of money, but I guarantee it will sell like hotcakes at $80. Well, but it still won't sell as well as it should if it was selling for 40 or 50. It's like going back to the whole band t shirt argument. If you're a band that's trying to sell an $80 hoodie and I'm a band that's the same success as your band and I'm selling my merch for $40 for hoodies, $20 for t shirts, I bet I could sell a whole lot more compared to that person who's trying to sell them for 80. Like, if Red Dead 2 came out today, I'd pay $80 for it if it was brand new.
I'd be like, alright, game pass a couple months, you know. We talked about Mortal Kombat 3 a little bit ago. I I've shown you the receipt. I I bought that for, $80, though. I thought it was 5 no.
I thought it was $49.99. $70. Let me look at this. 69.99. I yeah.
I posted the receipt on, I think on the gaming subreddit. I searched Victor Wilt Mortal Kombat on, Facebook. Yeah. Search it on Reddit. All one word, Victor Wilt, and then, Mortal Kombat.
I might be able to bring it up in my, my posts, but it it it might have been $80, but I know it was at least 70. I'm not seeing it. Alright. Hang on. Hang on, buddy.
I'm gonna find it for you. Because I even tried finding it on Facebook because I I remember the post. I don't know if you posted it on your actual page or the other page that you had it for a little while there. My profile. My posts.
I mean, it shouldn't be too hard for me to find because okay. Here it is, Peaches. Here's the image. It was, 69.99 Okay. For Mortal Kombat 3.
And that was on, because it's got the date on here, December 13, 1995. Full price for a game back in 1995. Yeah. I mean, Earthbound cost a $100 when it came out. Price game would typically cost around $50 in 1995.
This was the standard price point during the PlayStation 1 era where the cost of producing games on CD ROMs is lower compared to earlier cartridge based systems. Yeah. So things went down a bit for PlayStation because everything switched to disk. But games now are, for the most part, digitally downloaded. There's no physical media involved.
There's nothing. I wouldn't Why are they still expensive? I wouldn't pay $80 for a, digital copy of, Red Dead 2. But knowing how much time I got out of Red Dead 2 and the amount of gameplay time like, even if you play it and just rush through it, it's still, like, what, 50, 60 hours? But you didn't know that going into the game.
No. You just assumed Rockstar would do something like that. So having played San Andreas, which has about a 40 hour playtime or something, I mean, there are games that cost $50 that the playtime's like 7 hours. Right. Yeah.
So yeah. I I'd have no problem playing paying $80 for even San Andreas, you know, if it were to come out today. You know, just because of how expensive games used to be. GTA 6 I would not pay any bucks? I've for me, even $30, I don't pay that for any game.
I just get game pass or wait till I get the game gets cheaper and then get the game. But GTA 6 is not gonna be on game pass. No. It's not. Yeah.
They're they're gonna try their best to sell it because Rockstar hasn't put produced a game in Oh, yeah. It's cost to 13 years. Yeah. And I I mean, the cost to make the game, well, it was in the billions. Oh, yeah.
So yeah. They gotta make their money, and I bet they will. And, you know, most games right now, I mean, there have been a lot of them that have gone up to, $70. Which I was glad to see that we went towards the, free model and then just micro transaction for a little while there. Yeah.
But Like Fortnite. Like, if you wanna get a cool skin, you gotta pay $20 for it. Yeah. And that led a lot of other people to follow suit. But, yeah, you're not gonna get that's a different kind of game than a single player gameplay experience like, you know, GTA 5.
You know, if you're into online gaming, that's a different world. And, like with Fortnite, I could see, that that business model working. But it's a it's a completely different world than GTA 6 will be. But I I'd pay a $100 for it. I would.
I'm not trying to I'm not trying to say that they should, and I'm sure there'd be outrage, but I would. I know myself. I'd pay a $100 for GTA 6. If you were to sell that game for a lower amount of money, just like the whole band t shirt thing, I I so bet I could sell a whole lot more band t shirts. Like, if I was Bad Omens, I'm like, you know what?
For a week, let's all of a sudden charge $40 for the hoodies, $20 for the t shirts, and you would see a lot of people who are, you know, lower income that are still fans of your band buy your merch. Yeah. I Don't sucker them out of their cash and be d bags about it. Yeah. I I agree.
T shirts are pretty expensive, but It's like Shaq. You know, when you do the shoes at Walmart, made them cheap and millions of kids, you know. That's true. But, again, totally different kind of worlds. Like, if I had the choice between a $25, band t shirt from TOOL or a $100 GTA 6.
No question, GTA 6. Me. I'm just saying What? You know, I can wear a t shirt, every, you know, few days or something. I've I don't know.
I just think the value of what you get out of a rock star game, I think it's worth a $100. Like I said, San Andreas playing through it again compared to so many newer games that you do not get that kind of a lengthy gameplay. San Andreas is worth more than a lot of new games. There's people trying to argue about how they're trying to make, they're trying to have GTA 6 be the model of like, oh, okay. Now I have an excuse to now charge for, I don't know, a game like, Max Payne 4 or 5 for $80 even though it's only worth like $49.99.
I don't think that That's gonna happen is they're gonna follow they're gonna bow down to what Rockstar's doing. But they gotta deliver something that's worth it is the thing, and they're not going to and then they're not going to be able to sell it. Because Rockstar is, heads and shoulders above everybody else. Yeah. Right now, if you put out a game and you're charging more than $50, it's gotta be a great game.
Like top tier. I gotta be in it. You know, $60 is, kind of the standard for, you know, triple a games right now. But we've seen a few that went up to 70. I don't think everybody will follow suit though because they can't deliver a $100 experience.
No. But I'd say GTA 6 from just rock stars history and, you know, the little bits we've seen of that game, I bet it would be worth a $100.
