The noon hour of madness and mayhem powered by Jalisco's, the podcast. Victor, are you ready for some yacht rock? No. Did you see what was announced? The what's the official name for it?

Is it the Minnesota Yacht Rock? Oh, no. No. Here we go. Minnesota Yacht Club Festival.

Oh, that sounds terrible. You got hosier, Alabama shakes, train, Sheryl Crow, father John Misty. You also have Fall Out Boy, Weezer, Green Day, Sublime, 311, Garbage, Semisonic, Beach Bunny. Now how is all of that yacht rock? That's what I'm trying to figure out too.

I don't know. Well, it's the yacht club. Right? Yeah. It's the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival.

Bunch of highfalutin' turds. From from July 18th through 20th at Harriet Island Regional Park in Saint Paul, Minnesota. We're gonna go hang out on Lake Minnetonka. And go see our favorite, classy band that is Green Day. I don't wanna be an American idiot.

They're just sitting around sipping wine, watching Green Day. That's right. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh okay. What what would you think this guy produces? I'm guessing, indie style.

That's exactly what I'm thinking here. Yeah. Indie style alternative music. What would you like to call Starbucks rock? Alright.

Let's hear it. Alright. Here we go. Wait. There's a song called Corey Wong.

Why is that? No way. Question. Does he have a song about himself? Corey Wong doing Corey Wong like Black Sabbath Black Sabbath?

Alright. Here we go. Cosmic Sands, which is a a font. Okay. No.

That that's Comic Sands peaches, Not Cosmic Sands. But but he's doing a he's doing a play on that. Oh, okay. Why isn't that is it playing in the Cannonball studio? Is that play on this web browser.

Okay. Here we go. A little funky. Now imagine some highfalutin person on a yacht going, oh, I like this jam. The glaze.

Coupon. Let's see what I'm seeing here. So far. I do like this intro. It's not bad.

I jam to this with a glass of wine. This is when they get up and dance. You know? Alright. I'm gonna dance in my tuxedo and have fun.

I'm gonna cut loose. You're on camera. Oh. Go ahead. Is it just all instrumental?

I'm assuming so. Let's fast forward here. Yeah. Is that, guitar he's playing with the guitar synth? Yeah.

It looks like okay. Because it could be a keyboard too. It's all instrumental. Alright. You know, it's fine.

It's what I would expect, I guess. Looking all around at the people I see. Just a little buzzed. Bit of a throwback funk thing there. Sounds like a seventies, like, TV show theme song.

And the dream. It does. It does. State Ethel Jones and her family type of thing. Alright.

Yeah. But I I had a good question for you here for this break. The whole point was to talk about this and say, what would be the worst band to be stuck with on a cruise ship? Worst band to be stuck with on a cruise ship. No.

I think I already know your answer. Probably James Blunt, Maroon 5. Maroon 5 would be one of them. Trapped? Trapped is another one.

Trapped would be pretty bad. Kid Rock, I I don't think I'd wanna be stuck on a cruise ship with Cape Rock. I know we play Kid Rock here on Cape Bear. Both of us don't like it. Oh, no.

You knock the camera over. See, this is why this is why That was Kid Rock. Don't want this set up. I'm sorry, Kid Rock. Didn't mean to offend you, Kid Rock.

Okay? Yeah. Close-up of you. There we go. Perfect.

Even better. Just you're right in the camera. Hello? Alright. Alright.

That's enough. That that that was what I got. So Victor Boomers on Facebook are, falling for yet another AI trend. This has popped up on my Facebook feed at least 6 times today. Okay.

Which trend is it? It's an AI couple that shows them they just got married. Right? Now there's right next to that photo, they put a picture of the same supposed couple, but old now. And it says together for 76 years.

She's 94. He or he's 97. True true love stands the test of time. And it's been the same caption for every single one of them. Yeah.

Clearly AI generated couples. Mhmm. Some of them don't even look like the other couple. And then you see in the comments, oh, beautiful. I love this.

Me and my husband have been together for 55 years now. Congratulations. Congratulations. Now see, pat patricitz. I don't know how you say what that what kind of name is that?

Let me see if I can bring up the r I c I z, Patricics. Patricics. Let me see if I can bring up my, history here because yes I think it was yesterday. I almost got fooled by an AI post. Oh, you're turning into one of those boomers.

Yeah. You're getting too old. I almost got fooled. Media. Let's see.

Search are are you logged into Facebook right now? Yes. I am. K. Search for Camille, c a m I l l e.

Oh, you you texted me this. Did I did I text this to you? Yeah. Camille Monfort? Are you sure I texted it?

Because I didn't think I sent it out anywhere because, Camille Monfort. Okay. This is well, the first thing I see, this is not an AI generation of me. This is Camille Monfort, the Amazonian vampire who could be my older sister. Okay.

I haven't seen this particular post, but this is the post. Okay. So let me come around. Okay. So that's the picture now.

Can you read more? There's nothing there. There's nothing more. Okay. And that looks like the same post.

Some random dude just said she's stunningly beautiful. Yeah, of course. Okay. Scroll down. There's gotta be one.

The pagan collective, that group? I think so. I think so. So look at this one. Post.

So look at that big giant post. So I I just kinda scrolled past the picture, and I was reading that post. Go ahead and read some of it. Camille Monfort, known as the Amazon vampire, became a legend in 18/96 when Belem Brazil flourished from the rubber trade. The city saw a sudden rise in wealth as rubber exports enriched local farm workers who built grand mansions using European materials.

This goes on and on about the history. On and on. So, you know, I'm reading this and I was like, wow. That's I've never heard this story, you know, because she supposedly drank blood and all this stuff. So I Googled her name, you know, like you just did, and it brings up results, you know, but as I kept going, I ultimately realized the entire thing was fake.

Like, somebody took a lot of maybe they did it with Chad GPT to write a story about the Brazilian vampire. But the giveaway is the photo. I mean, you look at it and, you know, you compare it to old photos from that time. Nobody was that good looking back in the day. Alright?

That should be the giveaway. People were a lot uglier back in the day. But but her face clearly The the face is AI. It's a lot of makeup. It's a lot of It doesn't look like an old photo.

No. You know? Look at somebody from a from 18 what what year was it? 18 96 or 18/90/6? Or Something like that.

18/75 portraits. And that's what got my attention. I'm like, I've never seen a picture that looked this good Yeah. Look at this. From the late 1800.

Yeah. Like, look at all the I mean, there's some decent photos in there, but, as you could see, those people are ugly. Well, I I decided to tell Chad GPT. Give me a story about the legendary cowboy, Victor Wilson. Okay.

Alright. What do we got? Born in 18/75 under the blazing Texas sun, Victor Wilt entered the world with a with a cry that sounded more like a war whoop than a newborn's wail. Yeehaw. Folks say it was a sign of the tempestuous life that awaited him.

Uh-oh. I I had a rough life coming up. His family owned a small ranch near the bra is it the Brazos River? Okay. Not familiar oh, I should be familiar with it.

It's where I grew up. But from the moment Victor could toddle, he had no interest in fences. What? The open range called to him. And by the time he was 12, Victor had already broken his first Mustang and shot straighter than any man in town.

Dude, I do go out and break wild horses like every weekend. By 18, Victor had earned a reputation, not as an outlaw, though many confused him for 1, but as a man who could solve problems. Be it driving out rustlers, taming wild cattle, or dealing with a saloon full of troublemakers, cowboy Victor Wilt was the man for the job. He didn't fight for money. He fought for respect, for justice, and most famously, for a sense of wild freedom he believed everyone deserved.

Sounds totally true to me. And, I mean, there's different stories. There's the great buffalo standoff. There's the peck the Pecos duel. There's the mystery of Black River Canyon, legacy of a legend.

Dude, in 5 years Oh my god. It took my phrase that I I say you push, I shove and used it for one of your stories. Dude, in 5 years, we're not gonna know what's real history and what isn't anymore because so much of this stuff. I mean, I feel like we already are aren't because there's a lot of textbooks that could lean one way. Yeah.

Other people that wanna lean the other way. I know. We're getting to that point where they wanna put a bias into a knowledge. To be quite honest with you, do we really know what Christopher Columbus did or any one of those people from way back when? I mean Do we ideally know what they've done?

I think Like, even the 1800, there was no cameras. There was nothing. There was no cameras, so we are relying on the recorded history of the times. And I'm sure there's lots we don't know. But You know, can you imagine how much fun find out that Abraham Lincoln was shot in the head?

Because there were tons of witnesses, newspaper Tons of witnesses. Newspaper reports, police reports. So let's go before that even. Let's go to, like A lot of history is thoroughly documented peaches, you know, by I mean, you if you go to places like, like Japan, for example, that's how they figured out that, the megathrust earthquake hits the West Coast of the US about every 2 to 300 years. Who painted George Washington crossing the Delaware?

Was there an artist there at the time? Was there somebody with, like, somewhat of a sketchbook or maybe just a piece of paper and was like, I wanna draw this later. I wanna paint this later. It's a good question. I don't know.

I don't know. I mean, we don't even know if, you know, George Washington really looked exactly like he did in the paintings. Do you know of him? You know, I mean, what kind of guys would wear those stupid wigs? I mean, it doesn't make any sense to me.

Imagine if we had to do that here. If we had to do that everyday life, I I would be I I would be To cover up the sores on your head? You covered the sores. Yeah. That's why they wore the wigs.

I know. I know. It's so gross. That's why we go back to the whole full circle thing about, you know, that girl is not all that pretty. Most people were not pretty back then.

They're pretty gross looking. Well, and A lot of dudes looked like, they had the scraggly beers. They probably smelt bad. Oh, people definitely smelled bad. In the mines all day.

Yeah. Having to come home and eat bread for dinner. But the story was what almost got me because it was so in-depth. I was like, oh, I'm gonna read more about this story. And then I got googling and was like, oh, wait.

This is not real. Dude, I I'm I'm all 100% sure. If we got the camera from Maddie and we decided to edit your a picture of you wearing, like, a cowboy outfit and made it look super old. And we're like, this is my great grandpa. And I told chat GPT to give me an in-depth story about, you know, cowboy Victor Wilt.

Now he hated old man Jade Davis and, like, this whole frame. We had a a good old fashioned what what did they call it back in the day? A duel. Well, we could've had a duel. A duel of high noon.

But you had, like, you know, what what were those, you know, what? There's a word I'm looking for. I'll find it by the next break. The new hour of madness and mayhem powered by Jalisco's, I am Peaches. I'm Victor Will.

We got old man Jade over there yawning in the corner. I need a nap. Well, we've got a great place to take a nap now. We get it better all the time. Did you go check out the new break room setup, Peaches?

No. I haven't but I opened the door for the guys to bring the couches in. That's right. You did help the old leather. They're nice.

Don't poke a hole. No farting on my new couches. But the leather won't absorb the farts like these chairs in here. Right down down through Andrea's office. Poor Andrea.

I appreciate that. Yeah. We should start, getting to a lot of a ruckus in that room now. That's our our hang spot. So we can drive the sales team crazy on that end of the building.

Don't know if it'll drive them as crazy as it will me and Andrea and Emma. Well We're all right there within blasting zone. You know, Andrea, I would feel bad about, but you, you know, obviously What about Emma? Emma's, you know, she's kinda your little minion. Yeah.

She wears her headphones all the time. I feel like she wouldn't complain about much. She's we I think we need to get through a little bit. Guys don't like her. That's not true.

How dare you? Causing inner office drama. No. We're just trying to be annoying, not have drama, just be an irritant. You know how it goes.

So we got, Josh and Jade hanging out. Yeah. I'm here too. I just haven't said anything. I'm just standing around.

How do you like, the mess we've created in here? It's getting better every day. A little bit every day. A little bit. A little bit.

A little bit. A little bit. A little bit. A little bit. A little bit.

A little bit. A little bit. A little bit. This is from out front, I believe. Oh, really?

From out front in the sign. Yeah. Or just the the front foyer. Okay. We were trying to, I was trying to figure out where it came from.

I know it's been. Out of the old cabaret van was smaller. Yeah. And, it's been sitting around here forever. I've tried hanging it up a few times, but it just doesn't look good anywhere.

It's a weird put a light behind it. I buy me some are you saying we need some lights? Yeah. Go buy it. Hey.

As a matter of fact, Josh and I've been talking about this a lot recently. Go buy some. Can we use the company credit card? Just buy you couches. You're welcome.

Hey. Well, but I don't need a couch. I need lights. Lights and cameras. You look pretty comfy on that couch earlier.

It was pretty comfy. By the way, peaches, did you leave the rock I brought you from Sedona just sitting in the bullpen? No. Along with your shelves? I just left the shelves in there.

Okay. We found one of my Sedona rocks in there. Somebody doesn't care. I took the rock home. Oh.

Yeah. Okay. So it's someone else. Who else? Who else you give a rock to?

I don't know that isn't here anymore. I mean, maybe it was Katie Lee or Justin. Oh, I appreciate that. They did have desk space in that room. You're right.

Yeah. You're right. I don't know where it was. I think that was Katie's. Katie.

No. I do have to tell them. Katie. We we took one of her nicer chairs. She put a z sticker on the back of one of them.

And so when I came in on the weekend, I took the chair back and put the ladder in the z studio. And I don't think she's realized it's me just yet until probably now when she's tuned in. She hears through the wall. She hears everything we say because she'll yell Right. Through the wall.

Yeah. Like, no. No. You can't do that. Stop.

You know? Because we wanna move all their junk in there. She wouldn't let me move any junk. It's a bunch of bunch of garbage. It is a bunch of garbage.

Just clean it up. I'm working on it. Victor's the cause of the mess, not me. I did come in and just start ripping this place off. I came in, like, what, Monday morning?

And Victor spent the entire morning show on Monday yelling about how I didn't get the shirts all settled. Why are they done? Why don't you do your job? And so I, here, I'll fill you in on the next break about my, hazing while you were gone. Wrapping up the new hour of madness and mayhem powered by Jalisco's I Am Peaches.

I'm Victor Wilt. Jade Davis. Josh Tyler. So is inside. Her.

Since the boss is here, I'll fill you in on all the employees out here. He's out. Doing something. You're the boss, and I'm trying to narc on the other employees for not doing their jobs. Oh, you're a bus driver.

That's Here you go. I'm here to snitch snitch on peaches. You're ready for your stitches then. Peaches? You're making a threat through Jade?

Jade made it for me. No. Peaches did do a good job helping me with moving this cabinet in here. This thing that you told me to move it is. It's moved.

It sucked to move it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's hard to. It sucked bad.

And, you know, of course, me being an old man, I had to do the the heavy lifting, you know, holding the cart and stuff like that. Dad's strength. Yeah. The dad's strength. Yeah.

So, you know, I get it all in here and I didn't have any of the drawers in it or anything like that. And I had all the cabinet doors off and I'm like, alright, peaches have fun the rest of the day. I got a lot done. And then I came back the next day and only thing peaches had done was take the CD rack. That was it.

Yeah. He just took that. The cabinets are still off. Remember somebody else I know when I asked them to do something. What are you talking about?

I moved. We I got moving that cabinet. I had things to do. So then I was like, alright. Remember the first time I asked you guys to move that cabinet?

You didn't give a timeline. Oh, here we go. So like, when was it? July, June? Yeah.

But you know, you guys were like busy and stuff and we had to, you know, rivers west. I asked you to do it. So then I came in Monday and I was like, alright. And I started just ripping stuff off the walls, put the cabinets back together. And then I was like, all right.

These guys need to deal with this merch. And, I informed them. Okay, guys. You need to move that merch. And then I said, what you said, just like that.

Yeah. Nice and calm. Like you guys, please get the, the cannibal merchant, the cabaret studio and get the hawk merchant to the hawk studio. And I waited patiently for about 30 minutes. And then I would Not 6 months like I did?

Yeah. Yeah. No. No. And then I became Santa Victor and I showed up to Justin's studio with garbage bags full of merch.

I'm like, here, don't want this and peaches go get the merch. And, peaches did get the merch in the cabinets. And then I got the bright idea that he had rubber band them up. Come on. Arrange by size.

Yeah. It was like, get it, get it done and pack it tight in there. So we have room for storage. And then I left again. But everybody, they didn't get too mad when I was telling them what to do.

What was even worse is that Victor sent me one of his breaks too, about a certain band called Kingdom of Giants, and he's making fun of me. Hey. It was a funny break. I said, Peaches, you know, came up to me one day and wanted to sit down, and he he needed to talk to me. I didn't talk to you about something.

And I've been thinking about this band name a lot, and it's a place I'd really love to visit. And it was kingdom of giants. Is that, who destroyed the bathroom? Because I got this email. I'm wondering who the culprit is.

No. I don't know. I wasn't here. I wasn't here, but we did determine peaches tried to plug plunge it with the stick yesterday. Yeah.

I was trying to turn it like butter apparently. Stick first. He's he's accusing me of being a gen zer that doesn't know how to use a plunger. Well, is that other things to use if you're gonna try the stick. It's more of a knife.

Oh. Hoop knife. Yeah. We've talked about the poop knife before. Do we need to get one of Jade, will you add that to the things we need for the bath We'll store it in here for you guys.

No. Yes. Put it on the wall. After we use it, just hang it up. The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem powered by Holy Ghost is a production of Riverbend Media Group.
