The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast. It's the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. I am Peaches. I'm Victor Wilt. And, you know, the break I'm trying to find the story about is sort of in this realm, Peach, is I guess we're doing kind of relationship advice, sort of.
I mean, sure. Yeah. We couldn't find anything else. Hey. Every once in a while, we gotta throw out an area of expertise that we are at the top level in, and that's relationships.
I'm glad you put I'm glad you put me in that group. So, what was the thread you were looking at there, Peaches? What's the biggest nah. I'm out moment you've had on a date? And I mentioned off air, you know, I don't know if I ever really went on dates.
I'm trying to think back. I don't think I ever really went on, like, dates. I mean, once I had a, like, a girlfriend, we'd go on a date, but I didn't do the thing where people would, hey. Let's get to know each other and go out on a date. Oh, good for you.
Yeah. I I don't know. So I can't think of any of those kind of moments. That's the most annoying thing is the small talk. So what caught you in the radio?
What what made you move out here? What do you plan on staying here? All these same old questions. I'm just like, just shut up and let me eat my food. Peaches, it's called getting to know someone, and the most basic questions are how you get to know someone.
And I I don't wanna date anybody. Yes. You do. Don't lie. I know that Peaches wants to date somebody.
No. My last straw would happened on New Year's Day, and that's it. I'm done. Alright. Oh, I'll keep that statement in mind a few months down the road.
Sure. Okay. So, what were some of the examples of, alright. I'm out on dates? Some guy said she showed me two pictures of exes and asked where I would rank myself with them.
Oh, well, okay. You know, nobody wants to see anybody's exes, but you just go, I'd rank myself way higher than them. Look like a couple well, actually, if you bash their exes, you're sort of bashing on them because they were, like, hooked up with with them. So you gotta be careful about bashing on exes. It's a it's a tricky play.
That's why I hate it. It's like it's like it's like trying to diffuse a bomb. Yeah. So you you've gotta have an angle there where the ex you know, maybe they did something specific. And you know, like, that guy's a real piece of crap for what he did to you, not just, man, he's ugly.
He what a loser. I like one of the replies, rank based matchmaking. Yes. So I don't know if that would be weird, but I don't think I'd bail on that one. I I might let that one one fly because she might just be seeing if you're really uptight and can't handle the fact she had previous boyfriends.
There's a lot of dudes talking about women in this thread. It's not Okay. The other way around. Is any of it appropriate for air? I mean, yeah.
It's more so just like it was our fourth date. She brought up the exes conversation. How many relationships have you been in? Why didn't they work out, etcetera Okay. Without skipping a beat.
Oh, okay. I can't say this last part. She said most likely, she she said she would probably still be with her last partner. Oh, okay. But he left because she lied about taking something.
Okay. Okay. Alright. Well, Oh, here we go. She drove through a red light going 50 miles per hour and totaled two cars.
Almost killed me. Alright. That might be a hey. You know, it was nice getting to know you, but I I don't think this is gonna work out. I'd like to live.
Alright. You know? So I'm not surprised that it's a bunch of dudes complaining because dudes whiny dudes is a very popular trend right now. So Yeah. Yeah.
You're right. Yeah. No. I think one of my favorite stories, it comes from, like, one of my former best friends. He was on the highway with his girlfriend at the time Mhmm.
And they were listening to Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. Okay. And if a girl turns that song on, there you go. I'm out. That's the red flag.
Nope. Done. So they get into a complete major car accident. He goes to the hospital, everything. The car is totaled.
It was like a classic 1972 Datsun '2 '40 z. Yeah. A classic car completely ruined. And he went on this whole thing about how they both fell in love to that song, Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. So when me and my other friend Zach saw the Goo Goo Dolls live, I still have the video on my phone.
We're screaming the girl's name going, Caitlin, you ruined my life. People around us were like, what is going on? We're just making fun of the guy. Here, pick up this caller. Let's see let's see if they have any, dating red flags.
K Bear, you are on the noon hour of Madness of Mayhem. Keep that in mind. Who's this? Ed. That's not what Ed is.
Oh, it's this guy. This guy. Ed. It's this guy. What's happening?
Doing, boys? You know, we're doing pretty good. We're just talking about, incidents that happened on a date that made you immediately go, alright. I'm out of here. You know?
What what do you got? Let's see. Let's see. Yeah. You're gonna make me think way back in the day, man.
I haven't been on a date since Jimmy Carter at Silverbilt. Yeah. I was gonna say, I don't know if I've ever even been on a date unless I was already in a relationship with you. Oh, good for you. Would you like to go out and get a cup of coffee?
Right. She she's swiping on Tinder at the coffee date. Do you wanna go to Denny's? I mean, I mean, I think last one, she thought I was like 53 and I was 22. I don't, I don't know what it says about me though.
You must look like Jade Davis. I do. I tried sounding like Jade Davis, but I can't have someone punch me in the throat that hard without suffocating. Yeah. Yeah.
I think he got punched a lot as a youth, you know, he's, he's kind of hateable. So, yeah, I've seen him. He's got that face. He's got that kind of face and that attitude walks around like he owns everything. I know.
I know. Look at me. I'm a boss man. Oh, good for me. Look at my beard.
Isn't it cool? Straighten my beard every day. Did we ever get a definitive answer if he straightens his beard or not? Yes. He he he replied that, yes.
He he does. He has to. Every morning, he has to sit there with, like, the the the iron. Isn't it? What what's it called?
It's a it's a The straightening iron. The straightening iron. Yeah. Yeah. He sits there and holds it?
Yeah. You just you kinda slide it down. What if he burns it off by accident? It could happen, but, yep, I think you'd have to be pretty reckless to burn your hair off with a straightener. I used to use a straightener.
They they they make beer straight. I've got a beard straightener. They make spit they're combs. They're just hot combs. That's right.
He bought like a teenage girl straightener for his beard. That sounds like that. I don't know. But I did. I had a straight up, girly hair straightener back when I had long hair.
But, Yeah. Now I don't have a need for that. So that, that checks out as well. I think you had pretty barrettes and everything. Hey, don't make fun of my pretty barrettes.
All right. They kept my hair out of my eyes. Anyway, we gotta hang out soon, boys. Sounds good, man. Good to hear from you.
Good to hear you guys too. I'm always listening if I can hear it over top of my dozer. Alright. Well, crank it up loud, man. Hell yeah.
Hey. Can you guys get me some well, you know what I want. I want more death clock. More death clock. Alright.
We'll see if we can get some going here in a few. Much love. Take care, boys. Hey. Thanks, man.
Peace. Alright. So, what other we we could dig into some more of these, is there any other funny incidents that you see in the thread? When he told me, I reminded him of his sister and then wouldn't stop talking about her. So there's a girl replying to this.
Okay. Yeah. That would be weird. Yeah. I need to ask my dad why he married a woman with the same name as his sister.
That would be weird too. Both are named Karen. But I don't think she she was really close to the family. I think she was really far apart and for good reason. Yeah.
But I don't know. It's weird. I I could never date a Bailey. Yeah. If I don't think I could date an Amanda either.
Right. Yeah. It'd be strange or someone that, like, has your mom's name. That would be weird. I don't think anybody's named Karen anymore for the most part.
Nope. Sorry did the Karens and the Cabaret Rock Army, but I mean like Yeah. We got a few K Bear Karens. Yeah. You're not Karens.
You're K Bear Karens. Well, there are some K Bear Karens as well. Yeah. But they tend to be dudes. Exactly.
Hey. Somebody, for once on AskReddit has a really good question. It's a great question because I've been playing a number of post apocalyptic. I just played Fallout four for a little bit yesterday. Yeah.
I bet I played through The Last of Us one and two, and there's a point in the you know, you see horses in post apocalyptic. Why am I struggling to say that? Post It's post apocalyptic. There you go. It's not hard to say.
Post alone, post apocalyptic, post hardcore, post serial apocalyptic, post serial. So anyhow, the question was why aren't there bicycles in post apocalyptic stories? Why aren't bicycles more common in post apocalyptic fiction? And then someone said not as cool as Dodge Challengers with skulls strapped on the hood. That's what okay.
That's fair. That's fair. When I was playing through The Last of Us part two at one point, you know, I'm in Seattle, and we go through a bike shop, a bicycle shop, and there's a big hole in the floor because everything's, you know, all dilapidated. And so you can't get to where there's bicycles on display, but they're there. And I'm like, wouldn't it be great if you could use a bicycle?
So it's so funny that that question just popped up because you don't see that in movies or video games that take place in a post apocalyptic world. Well, it says here, little known fact of post apoque fiction, all bicycle air pumps are the first thing wiped out. Second thing is bike chain repair tools. I'm sure. Sure.
I was just joking. It's not food or anything. Yeah. Bike pumps. Hurry.
Gather them. Yeah, dude. Oh, because they tend to be set in America and because fleeing from a horde of zombies on a bicycle makes for less dramatic action sequences in movies. Could you imagine Zombieland? And you just get on a bike you just get on a bike and ride away.
Looking people in Mad Max on bicycles? They should redo Mad Max part three, and all the vehicles have run out of gas. Not not not not like a regular bicycle. Those old fashioned eighteen hundreds ones with the giant wheel in the front. Yes.
That's the kind of bicycles that they need to be escaping on. Yeah. I'm guessing in video games, it's just because it would lower the excitement level. Being stuck on your feet makes it, more scary. You know?
I don't know. Seeing Joel in, The Last of Us riding a bike also sounds awkward to me for some reason. Dead Rising has, I think, bicycles and different vehicles you can use. Alright. No.
That game's pretty hard to beat. No bicycles in Red Dead either. I was playing a little bit of Red Dead last night. That's that's super old. When was the bicycle invented?
Dude, bicycles have to have been around for hundreds of years. They've gotta be I mean, I don't know. Nineteen seventeen. Yeah. The first bicycle was invented by German Baron Karl von Dre von Dreis?
Arthur. Look at this contraption. Look at this thing. I mean, look look at this thing. This looks silly.
You need to hang this up in your bathroom. Look at the way the legs are. And you're telling me you're gonna see Arthur Morgan in one of these weird doohickeys? That's right. I wanna see Arthur Morgan on the bicycle with the big wheel in the front.
Dutch. I got it I got it figured out. We're gonna take these bicycles, ride to California. Let's get out of here. Had it with Valentine and horses.
I mean, if you got the option of a horse or a bike, I mean, horses can go faster than bikes, but, can you imagine seeing Arthur Morgan on a bicycle? It'd be hilarious. Dutch going after you on a bicycle. I got a plan, Arthur. Yes.
He's pedaling to the max. Why don't you ever see bicycles in Old West movies? You know? If they've been around since 1817, there had to be bicycles in the Old West. I'll save this question for when I'm interviewing Shane from Silverstein and just ask him, like, hey.
Why aren't bicycles more more like, why aren't they there in these post apocalyptic films? Did, random ask Reddit questions for band interviews could be pretty funny. I I told I was talking about it on the show yesterday. I'm like, you know what? I'm just gonna interview him as Scott Stapp from Creed.
Just pretend? Because of the poppy Courtney LaPlante thing. And just be like, well, I got Scott Stapp from Creed on the show and see if he's like, no, man. This is a a a a I think of the name Ron or is like or see if he'd be, he'd flip out. Yeah.
I that's when you wanna kinda know their sense of humor beforehand. Shane, I feel like, would just laugh it off. It could be. Could be. But who knows?
Has Silverstein ever feuded with another band? I don't think so. They're Canadian. Or he he they think they're all Canadians are pretty mellow, Yeah. Well, then Scott's no.
No. Nickelback's from Canada. Yeah. They are. So you could do Chad Krueger.
You know? Take that route. What up, Chad? Chad is such a bad name, isn't it? No offense to our Chads out there.
I like the name Chad. Chad? Yeah. To me, it sounds like the male Karen. Chad.
No. It's the male Karen would have to be oh, what's a should we ask Chad GPT? Yeah. Ask Chad GPT real quick what the what the official name for a male Karen is. It sounds like a Chad to me.
I'm very curious what Chad GPT thinks. It's Giving you nothing? It's just for everything's freezing up in here. There we go. Okay.
Okay. Ken. Yeah. Probably the most widely accepted mainly because it flows nicely with Karen. You also have Kevin.
Kevin. And then Chad at number three. Chad at number three. I knew it. I knew it.
Oh, and then there's also Greg, Brad, Steve, Terry, and Richard, aka another name. Yeah. Okay. Alright. Long as they don't have a Victor on there.
No. I see eight names here. None of them say Victor or Brendan. Alright. We're good to go then.
Victor, as you were talking to Jill at the front desk Mhmm. Justin came by and was like, hey. It's National Fart Day today. National Fart Day? You better push that fart button then.
Where's the wall? Come on, computer. I gotta scroll down here. I gotta click on this. Gotta go to the wall.
There you go. Yeah. You gotta get your wall arranged. Peach is on the new setup. I gotta go to the supervisor.
And we have multiple farts on there. Where? They're the brown buttons. Oh. You know, makes sense.
Right? Yeah. Okay. National fart day. Very nice.
Oh, that that one that one didn't work out. One of my favorites, the Chewbacca. Alright. And then there's also what happens if you fart too much. Poop.
Poop. Yes. That that is accurate, Peaches. Alright. Well, happy National Fart Day, everybody.
Shout out. Peaches, I wanted to know what you would do in this situation. Now there's a subreddit that I follow called cat advice, you know, for cat owners. I don't really I don't really need the advice because I'm a cat expert, but, other people might. And occasionally, you know, somebody will ask a question and I might be able to give them some cat advice.
So I did give some advice to this person, and I wanna know what your advice for them would be. So this guy says, I've read plenty of threads like this, but I need something I can show her to maybe change her mindset. The, title of the thread, sorry, was girlfriend wants my cat gone, need advice. So recently moved in with my girlfriend of three years, and she has not let up on this. She wants my cat gone.
She used to be fine with him when I had my own place. She spent a lot of time around him and was nice to him often. But now that we live together, she's constantly worried about what he's doing and gets on to him for everything. He's already an anxious cat by nature and she actively makes it worse. She won't let him in our room at all, kicks at him when he tries to sit on the couch with us, and says she can't use one of the upstairs rooms because of the litter box.
She also keeps saying she wants to, kick him outside with the stray cats, told her he's been raised indoors, could get hurt or killed if I just throw him outside, says the litter box is super clean. It's a fancy system this guy built and that she also can't wait till he dies. And, so he's asking for advice. What can I do to get her to chill out and accept that he's part of the deal? I feel like I've tried it all.
What would your advice be to this guy? Dump that girl immediately. All my advice. That's all I posted. Dump her.
That's a horrible thing to think about. That's that's your that's your pet. Exactly. Kick at a pet or kick a cat and then go, I can't be in the same room as a litter box. Yeah.
You spoiled brat. Like, if you're dating somebody and they have a pet and you decide to move in together, pet's part of the deal. They're part of the family. Yeah. Yeah.
Exactly. Like, if if that happened to me, it would definitely be a sorry. See you later. Right. You know?
I can't imagine you without cats. Yeah. I mean, you saw I was a disaster when Lucy was gone for two days. That's why I did my hardest to try to find her. I mean, I was in that was, like, the most mentally messed up I've been in ages.
And, yeah, I just felt bad for the the kitty and, you know Is there a picture? This dude. No. They don't have a picture, but, you know, anybody who's mean to animal and he gets in and says later on, like, edited the post and, like, she's not, you know, like this and and and she's still the cat and and she hopes it dies. Yeah.
Get rid of it. Exactly. Get rid of her. Dump her. Dump her.
And, you know, people are saying the same thing. Like, that's a major red flag. You know, somebody who's abusive to animals. And I mean, it's gotta be tough if you're willing to move in with someone you really like them, but all of that stuff should have come up way beforehand. I mean, what what a nightmare to move into somebody and I mean, that's why you should always move in and live with somebody before you get married, kids.
You know? But see, my parents have told me the opposite. What? Like, my parents have told me the complete opposite. Like, don't you're not moving in with somebody if you guys are not married together, that type of thing.
Yeah. What? What is it? 1,500? I'm No.
Trust me. You the the only way you're really gonna get to know somebody is living with them. So you you should live with them for probably a few years before you get married. Because everything's very different when you live together than when you're each living on your own. It you know?
And, I mean, have you had roommates before peaches? No. Okay. So even with roommates, like, I've had roommates that are still to the this day, some of my best friends, but living together, there are a few times we wanted to kill each other. You know?
You living with people is difficult, so you should never get married. That's a legally binding contract. Never get married without living with somebody first, for sure. Yeah. That that that's my advice.
You know? I, you know, lived with my ex for many, many years before we decided to get married. It still didn't work out, everybody. So you you should, definitely take your time with these things. And if they're mean to your pets, get rid of them immediately.
You you hear me make jokes on the air about pet dogs and cats and stuff, but you saw me with Lucy. Yeah. I know you're good with pets. Yeah. Peaches that's why I was like, Peaches needs a cat.
I wanna pet Lucy again. That was fun. She's getting big. She's getting big. I know.
I know. I need to see the big girl. Yeah. She's she's getting into her standoffish teenager phase. Uh-oh.
So she's not quite as, cuddly right now. I miss Mia. Mia was my favorite. Yeah. Right now, if you want cuddles, you go with Koopa.
Oh, Koopa runs away from me. I think he's freaked out. Yeah. You're something about, your height, I think. He's like, I've never seen anyone this big.
But he he's not as scared as you as he was the first time he saw you. That's true. I do pet him still Yeah. From time to time. But yeah.
Wrapping up this noon hour of madness and mayhem. Now, Victor, I I talked about this two weeks ago, the Blue Man Group. Okay. They they officially called it quits after doing more than 18,000 shows in New York alone. Wow.
Thirty some thirty something years of being together. And I didn't realize they're all wearing bald caps. They're fake baldies. Oh, I didn't realize they were cap too. Right?
Yeah. Come on. Just shave your head. Yeah. Come on, dude.
Commit to the bit. But I was thinking, like, what do these guys what are these guys like in real life? You know? And how often do they have to put the blue paint on? Did it ever stick to their skin?
Yeah. I was thinking all of this stuff. Like, when you live next to somebody like, let's say you're a rich guy, you know, in your case, you are. You you you're in a rich neighborhood, and there's a person next to you, and they don't really tell you what they do, and you assume it's something illegal. If they're secretly a part of the Blue Man Group or something like that, and he just won't tell you.
Yeah. And you're like, what are these what are these cans of blue paint doing in the closet here? Or doing this, this little on the shelf here. This guy's got a lot of blue paint. Yeah.
You know? And this house is not blue. Come to think about it, back in the day, there's a game called Earthbound. I I know you're familiar with it, Peaches. In that game, at one point, there is a cult that paints everything blue.
Oh. Oh, well, that's a bummer. I never saw the blue man group. So they canceled, all shows? No.
They they did retire. They're done. They're just retiring. Yeah. Yeah.
I'm surprised that they didn't just find new people to do it and franchise it out and keep making money. I think you could. I mean, who I and I just should look at the members of the blue man group and see how many there are. Yeah. I got a I got the right haircut for it.
Do they have a, you know, kind of a fat guy in the blue man group? Brings the, the comedy to the show? I'll paint myself one. No. There's two guys that have been in the group since 1987.
Holy cow. Wow. Chris Wink, who actually is bald. Well, I hope so. If you founded the Blue Man Group and you were not bald, come on.
Yeah. He he was a cofounder of Blue School. What is that? Blue School? Okay.
That sounds like that area in Earthbound as a matter of fact. I don't know about these guys. He's 64 now. Let's go to this, Matt Goldman guy. Yeah.
He's well, he's not bald. So So he's a bald cap wearer. He's a fake bald He's a fake baldie. Fake bald. Speaking of bald peaches, let's talk about babies for a second here.
Alright. I just saw a video on Reddit. Oh, it's just been three dudes this entire time? Sorry. I can't That's okay.
It's been Chris Wink, Matt Goldman, and Phil Stanton. But these, these babies, you know, babies are generally bald. This video claims that babies are not afraid of snakes and you've got I'm guessing these are like pythons or something. How do they test this out? Do they put, like, some baby near a rattlesnake?
They put the babies on the floor and just put a bunch of snakes around them. Well, they don't know what snakes are yet. Yeah. My whole point was babies are uneducated and dumb. You know, it should be a natural instinct should be a natural instinct to be afraid of snakes.
That's our title of this podcast. Babies are uneducated and dumb. It's true. Like, you don't have to teach a cat what a snake is. They see it.
They know to fear it. They see a dog. They know to fear it. Right? Anything even It's now peaches.
Be nice. Be nice. Set me up for that joke. Speaking of bull, Josh is right outside the studio. Hey.
The biggest baby in the in the house. He's talking to somebody. Oh, okay. I thought he was coming in. Oh, two two old guys.
What do you want? I don't know. We were just talking about how babies are uneducated and dumb, and I was wondering if you guys agree. You didn't talk about yourself that way. I'm not a baby.
Babies. You know? They're uneducated. I've seen you throw baby fits. Well It smells like a baby diaper in here.
It smells like a baby diaper in here. It kinda does. Did somebody fart in here? Or is it this peach? Baby diaper.
The peach fume again. That's that's my gingham legend. Gingham legend again. Yeah. No.
We just saw a video where they said babies are not afraid of snakes and they had all these babies I saw that because babies are dumb. That's what that was my conclusion as well. Well, that's because fear is a learned, a learned reaction. Right? Like, it's a learned emotion.
So if you haven't been taught fear, then you wouldn't know fear. But what about wild animals? Wild animals, That's that's evolution. Babies haven't evolved. That's true.
