The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast. It's the Monday edition of the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. What's up, peaches? Obviously, the Idaho Falls Gooblers thing, totally fake. Well, no kidding.
Totally fake. I do like that one of our knew it and knew it was fake. One of our listeners made me laugh because he came up with this whole AI generated, like, story that I sent you this morning. Yeah. About, like, if you hear the slobber, you're already too close.
I saw another one pop up about, like, a ghost woman in the river. Yeah. That was the same guy putting the AI generated picture of, like, this ghost woman in Snake River just staring into the camera. Yeah. Very obviously AI generated.
Watch. Give it, like, five, ten years, and those stories will be on all the haunted websites. Like, here's stories from Idaho Falls of real hauntings, and they'll all be on there. Because But then, does that make Bigfoot just some prank from way back in the day? In my opinion because I know there are a lot of people very passionate about Bigfoot, and that's totally cool.
In my opinion, yes, Bigfoot was a big prank back in the day. Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster, a big prank from back in the day. I think most things like that were somebody messing around. Crop circles? Why don't we have crop circles anymore?
Have you seen the there's a a whole explanation that some guy thinks that the Loch Ness Monster is a certain, fish upside down. I have not seen that. I can't go into detail about what it exactly is. Okay. Yeah.
Something like that. You you know what I'm talking about there. I think I'm guessing. Yeah. It's like a certain big fish upside down and people think that's like the head of the monster.
Yeah. I watched a, a Nessie documentary one time where they were simply talking about, okay, the size of the creature, what it would need to eat to maintain its size, and how there's just not enough food in Loch Ness for this creature to survive. So, you know, science tends to destroy my belief in a lot of things. How big is the Loch Ness? Well, it depends which, cryptozoologist you ask.
Nessie could be a variety of sizes, but I think generally pretty big. Not the monster. I meant the body of water. Oh, I mean, it's, it's it's large, but, you know, when you're talking about a sea beast. 21 square miles, maximum depth depth of, 745 feet.
Yeah. It's a good chunk of water. Why not bring down a submarine? Well, yeah. No kidding.
And go explore around and be like, yeah. Clearly, there's no giant green creature. I'm pretty sure they have taken submarines into Loch Ness. Let's take a take a look here. Yeah.
They have a, a vessel named Viperfish, and that's what they have used to, search for the Loch Ness Monster. And there's nothing? Nothing they've they've discovered whatsoever? No. They haven't found anything.
Okay. That's not real. I'm pretty sure Nessie is not real. Sorry, everybody. I'm pretty sure I don't think there's a Bear Lake monster either.
Like if you've ever seen a picture of an elk swimming, it looks weird because you've got this, you know, head and neck sticking up with these big horns and people don't realize that elk and deer swim. So I'm guessing the Bear Lake Monster came from somebody seeing an elk swimming across it and was like, what on earth is that? Because, you know, they got hooves. You don't think much about animals with hooves swimming along, but they do. Like, horses swim, you know?
It is weird to see an animal like that swim. It is. Like a bear. Bears swim. Elephants.
Yeah, dude. So, you know, I'm sure people have encountered stuff that looked weird, but there's there's likely a good explanation. And I'm not trying to poo poo on everything here, everybody. But, yeah, Bigfoot and Loch Ness, I just I don't think there's enough proof. I think with Bigfoot especially, we would have found bones.
Something. We would have found bones. There wouldn't just be one Bigfoot either. There'd be multiple There'd be a lot. Hundreds of thousands across the whole world.
There'd be tons of them. Yeah. And, you know, sorry, but a a big footprint, I just go, oh, Peaches was out there for watching. Right. Right.
Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Like, it's it's not hard to fake a footprint. So yeah.
And couldn't you have, like, a helicopter fly around? Be like, you clearly don't see anything that's, like, eight foot tall. With that infrared camera photography where, you know, heat sensing cameras? Like you see on, well, GTA five when you zoom in on the forest Yeah. And then they have that little Bigfoot Easter egg where he's standing there and then he just disappears.
Yeah. Like, I, you know, again, I know there are a lot of people around here really into Bigfoot. We have big Bigfoot conventions and things, and I have friends really into Bigfoot. I just don't personally buy it, because I haven't seen, to me, what is good proof, you know. Show me the dead body.
You only believe, I think, in aliens. Right? You don't believe in anything else. I mean, ghosts Hey. I've been trying to talk to you about that.
I mean, we should definitely go to those haunted places in the month of October and try to find some sort of just, you know, proof. I'm all down to go out. Exist. I'm all down to go out ghost hunting. There's no stupid light orb on the wall from somebody's flashlight.
No, you know, what was that sound? And now when it comes to aliens, I don't know if I believe aliens have visited us. I believe that there have to be aliens statistically, you know, somewhere out there. Are they the little round headed gray aliens that you always see? Who knows?
Because I think that, you know, when it comes to UFOs, I've yet to see compelling footage of something and go, alright. There's no explanation for that. Aside from some of the military videos, like the Tic Tac, those I still think are experimental military aircraft. I don't think they're they're aliens. And the lack of modern UFO photos where everybody has a camera in their pocket I mean, look at the dump truck incident recently, Peach, is where a dump truck with the, the backup went through a stoplight.
Everything that happens is captured on video now. Everything. The the why is every why is every cryptid so shaky, so grainy, so awful? Well, the the thing I've heard, Peaches, which maybe is the truth, is that all of these cryptids are actually blurry. That's just what they look like.
What? They're just blurry, and that's why we don't have any good photos. Like the Bigfoot picture. Yeah. Bigfoot's always Like somebody's just with the with the camera, like, I don't know what's going on.
Like, how even when even when I'm, like, most terrified, I'm not gonna be that shaky. Well, and if you're if you're filming video, you can get good still photos out of it. I could not eat for three days, not drink water for a couple days, and I would still not be that shaky. Yeah. No, dude.
That's that's again why I I don't really buy it. But I'm open to it, and I would love to see, you know, definitive proof of all of these things, ghosts and monsters in the sea. And, I mean, have you ever seen a sturgeon peaches in the river around here? My mind just went to sturgeon Simpson. I I sorry.
Sturgeon is the it's a gigantic dinosaur fish, and they used to catch them by you know, they'd get them on the line, and then they'd have to use horses to drag them out of the water. So now people will slowly you know, you can't keep them, I don't think. But I watched one getting reeled in on the Salmon River. It looked like a sea monster. It would they're huge.
Most fish are. But sturgeon, like Especially if we go to, like, the ocean, you we don't know what's down there so ever. Do they have gigantic whales and things? I mean, I'm sure tales of sea beasts back in the day. Imagine the first time somebody ever saw, like, a blue whale Oh.
Come up out of the water. I would my job would hit the floor. Yeah. I mean, I hit the floor now, but I couldn't imagine, like, back in the seventeen hundreds traveling by ship. You sure know?
And next, you know, there's a giant all you hear is that, like, whale noise in the distance. You're like, what in the world was that? Exactly. And you see the tail come up. Dude, animals make weird sounds.
Like, if you had never heard an elk and you're out in the woods, the sound an elk makes is kind of like a shrieking demon. You've heard an elk. Right, Peaches? Yes. I have.
Yeah. Imagine you had never seen an elk or even if you had and never saw them make the sound. You wouldn't think that an elk would make that sound because it does sound kinda like a demon in the woods. I was trying to figure out when they wrote, Moby d and If you can say the name of the fuck. It was 1851.
Yeah. So imagine, like, knowing about whales back in the eighteen hundreds. I remember the whole book about this, like, captain captain of a ship battling, you know, some giant whale in the water. Well, I mean, there was a lot of sea travel back in the day. That was probably a super exciting story for people, you know, because most people had probably never seen a whale.
So the descriptions are all you get. So a fun action packed, you know, battle against, you know, the giant white whale. I'm I'm sure that was, like, wild reading back in the day. When was the the typewriter invented? That had to be a long time ago.
Right? Let's see. I would assume. Typewriter invention. I mean, I'm not really sure.
1868. Okay. So they wrote that book via quill and ink. I I can Oh, it would take forever. It would take forever.
Not only that, but I feel like it was written on the ship or something like that. Like, oh, I have a great store idea for a story. And then the whole ship's wobbling. Well And you're just letting me shake you right the whole story. If you're, you know, traveling by mast, you know, like the wind is blowing the boat, can you imagine how long it takes to get across the ocean?
You have plenty of time to write a book by hand to board as crap on this boat. It'd be awful. I wonder how many books have been, just lost at sea. Probably a number. What could have been, you know, making people suffer in ninth grade now.
I'm gonna read those stories, you know, like the Scarlet Witch or whatever. Yeah. Maybe it's Good They're Gone. Uncle Barry Finn, one of the worst books ever written. Haven't read it for a long time, so I I can't judge.
But I hate the the way it is a classic. It's it's written in the accent. I hate that. It's it's the stupidest thing. Yeah.
I mean, if you're gonna write with an accent, you gotta be thoroughly entertaining like the big head. Well, I mean, it definitely is for most people, just for me. Nah. Don't care for Huckleberry Finn. Yeah.
You know, everybody got their own taste, but it's not what I'm gonna pick up and read anytime soon because I got way too many others I've Well, every book I've read for dive into. I've been forced to. Oh, well, see, that's a problem. If you're being forced to read, you're not gonna enjoy it. You know?
You gotta make that decision for yourself. Forcing people to do things generally doesn't work. You know? Like, trying to force somebody, you need to stop drinking. You're a piece of crap.
That doesn't motivate people. Right. It's like telling the depressed person, hey. Be happy. Oh, no kidding.
Yeah. Yeah. No. You you gotta motivate people. An anxious person, calm down.
Yeah. No. You gotta you gotta motivate people in the right direction, not cut them down for, you know, things they're dealing with. So, anyway What a hefty break this has been. That's right.
Send us your Bigfoot photos. Wanna see them. Alright, Peaches. What? I know you're into a little bit of hiking.
Are you and your Yeah. You and your homies gonna go do any hiking when they show up? Alright. Alright. Well My friend, Matt, has been taking over that dang trip.
You know? We're gonna go to Twin Falls. We're gonna hike for a little bit, and then we're gonna spend the night there, go kayaking the next day. I hope you guys are ready to paddle. Say, okay.
Relax, Matt. Like, this is not Bear Grylls adventure. Well, I I think you guys should try this for your next trip. I was reading about this, ice cream challenge where you hike Oh, I know. I saw this.
You hike the Appalachian Trail and then you have to mow down tons of ice cream. Sure. Yeah. One of the worst hikes I ever did was Santiago Peak, and it was 6AM to 6PM. And it was one of those, like, snake trails all the way up about Yeah.
Switchbacks. Yeah. It was awful. But, like, we ended up I ended up crawling into In N Out after the whole hike was over. Did you order a milkshake?
I ordered two four by fours, two fries, and an extra large shake. Wow. Because of the how much calories I burnt that entire day. Did you puke after? No.
Because after a long hike, the last thing I wanna do is eat. I I then got home, climbed up the stairs. I mean, crawled up the stairs. Like, crawl like, army crawled up the stairs. I couldn't walk normally.
I just laid in the shower like a sad person listening to, you know, you know, terrible music. Yeah. I just I I dig the, sound of this because the potential for you hiking, though. Potential for vomit is very high with this event. Yeah.
And I I think people, that are just wrecked after hiking, you know, like, a thousand miles, then watching them be forced to eat ice cream and try to hold it down. I I like that kind of a challenge. We did the Upper Palisades hike four years ago when my friends were out here, and, they wanted to do the upper like, we so we did the Upper Lake, and we were just exhausted afterwards. Right? Oh, yeah.
Get back to the car. We're driving back. We're like, we need to get food right away. We need something. Square ice cream.
That's what you did. Right? There was a gas station right by. Mhmm. And ever since then, Christian's been raving about that specific gas station with their with their ice cream.
Yeah. And it's just, you know, I think it's Reed's Dairy Ice Cream, which is good. It's like this is the best ice cream I've ever had. And it's in a square shape. You know, that's the novelty part.
They cut it into squares. Is that why Wendy's is so popular? Because of their square burgers? Yeah. I'm sure it's part of it, you know, because it's it's their thing, but I think Wendy's is also one of the better fast food places.
So Back when they had the yellow, the with the yellow Yellow packages? Yellow containers. Yeah. Yeah. That that's when they were, like, elite and they had the plants inside.
You know, Subway looked all fancy with, like, the plants inside too. Yeah. And then they also went down the downhill. Everything went this boring modern look. Look at McDonald's.
McDonald's. Or the worst downgrades I've ever seen ever. Yeah. McDonald's used to be fun. Yeah.
You know, now it it They got rid of Ronald. Sad. They really don't have Ronald anywhere anymore, do they? No. And do they even have toys at McDonald's anymore?
Okay. They have toys. I mean, I don't generally go inside. You know, I don't have kids around anymore. That's the weird part is I don't like this whole future.
Like, you don't have to go inside. You can just sit in your car and get it from get it for the, the curbside pickup. Yeah. I mean, McDonald's drive through has gotten to be so efficient. It wouldn't surprise me if they eventually move to a you know, at least getting rid of the toys and probably a very limited dining room.
Know. I never walk in there, so I don't know if there's a lot of people sitting down eating. I did a risky thing Saturday where I wore basically, like, no pants and just a t shirt and just went out to my car, did a Walmart pickup order, and then did a curbside pickup lunch order, and I didn't have to get on my car whatsoever. I could have been, like, if I got into a car accident, I would have had to step out of the car with my underpants, like, nothing shirt and stuff. You never know what you're risking going out on the street.
Hey. Is that peaches? Where's where's his clothes at? I think, you know, bare minimum, I'm gonna wear pajama pants that look ridiculous Right. And go out.
Then that's when, like, the listeners spot you the most. Because I don't think it's against the law to go out wearing just your underpants. I think you can. Ask lieutenant Crane. I'll try to remember.
That's a number of days away. There's a thing called the notepad on the desktop there. Just use that. Yes. I I could do that.
That would be a good idea. You're not typing right now. I don't I don't type it. But then watch you also forget it. Go out in public in your underwear.
Only underwear. I bet you can because I bet you you can't in certain areas. You can't stuff. If I go to the Grand Teton Mall and just my undies, that's that's like a what they consider like a private type thing. Maybe it depends what type.
Like if you got boxers it's okay, but like tighty whities and a, you know, tank top might be Well, that's why Push it in a little while. That's why also I feel like if you have that sign up that says no shirt, no shoes, no service, I feel like that's a you're entering a trashy spot. Because what's the ideal what's the, you're not really seeing many people just show up in their underpants places unless you're unless they're headed to, like, a trashy restaurant or a trashy type of store. Right? Maybe we need to start advocating for more of this in public.
Go out in your boxers. It's hot outside. You know, you're trying to keep cool. Boxers in a tank top. Or, you know, if I saw somebody wandering around in tighty whities in a tank top, that would be hilarious.
And it's got I don't think it could be illegal. I don't think it could be. I think it could be in some ways. You couldn't enter certain places. You could you could you could go to Carl's Jr in your tighty whities and your what's it called?
The wife beater tank top? Well, we're gonna find out on Friday with traffic school powered by the Edmonton Giant Tournament. Go to Walmart. You're gonna go try it? No.
You you go to wall I'll go to Walmart. I'll pick you up one of those, little tank tops and tighty whities, and we'll see where can Victor go wearing this outfit. The video content would be pretty embarrassing and funny. And then we have to have poor Maddie with the camera following you. This is the old bald guy, fat, tighty whities and Just a camper somewhere with a camper sticker on.
I don't think Jared would approve of that. Probably not. No. It's the noon hour of madness and mayhem. I am Victor.
I am peaches. Now, Victor, did you see the story from earlier this morning? The giant sphere that fell from the sky? No. I did not see it.
After severe weather sweeps through the area. Hold on. Let me pull it up here. Giant sphere news. Okay.
Is this like some sort of wrecking ball that just got loose because of the wind? Now Indianapolis. Residents of an Indianapolis neighborhood came upon a rather sizable spherical object that flew into their neighborhood Wednesday evening when thunderstorms rolled through Indiana. It's about the size of a small shed. Will do use anything but the metric system.
You know? Oh, there's an ad popping up. About the size of a small shed, the the object was found sitting sitting on the side of a side of the road with part of its flat bottom part onto the curb. Yeah. It's a weird looking item.
Now It turned out to be a radome, r a d o m e. Radome. Yeah. A large orb like enclosure that is used to protect radar antennas. Oh, okay.
So, yeah. Perhaps with high wind, it blew it off the top of the tower or something. Okay. So then it up there. You know what's a big danger then?
If we're having spherical objects, those target balls. Oh, they have at the store. They have at the store. I feel like those could go flying. Right?
Probably. Yeah. They say that, they had severe thunderstorms with wind gusts of about, 65 miles per hour. I was about to say our target doesn't have balls, do they? And I don't think they do.
Yeah. Our Target's so small. It's like the size of a shoebox. Yeah. We don't have the, like, Super Target.
Like, a lot of places that have groceries. That's what Twin Falls has. Twin Falls has a Super Target? That's what I'm excited for. When I go to Twin Falls with the homies, I'm like, guys, we're going to the Target Superstore.
We can look at all the frozen goods. We can look at all the groceries that are way overpriced. Oh, my goodness. Yeah. It's it's unfortunate because I have heard that Target has some unique products.
You know, some grocery stores have their own lines of stuff, and I've heard Target has some good stuff. We have a loyal listener that's a manager over there, so I feel like she needs to let us know when she gets the, the supply. Expand Target. I I don't know. There's probably not any room over there.
They'd have to take over something else. I am curious what they're doing at the old, Big Lots? Well, Big Lots, but then also the Super Deals or whatever whatever it's called. It's Oh, the Big Deal Outlet right there by the way? Yeah.
Because they moved Big Deal Outlet next door. It's a red store. It's what? The outside is red. Oh.
It could be a anyway. It could be Target. It could be a Super Target. No. I don't think so.
And nobody seems to I nobody seems to know in the Life in Idaho Falls group what's going on in that old, you know, big deals building. Alright. So it's pretty big. That used to be, Smith's. I'll go outside there on my lunch break, take a picture of the building.
AI generates some sort of, like, I don't know, logo on the store, put it in the Life in Idaho Falls Facebook group, and just spread false information. Alright. I'm gonna search their group here. What did you what did you say the name of that was? Was it Big Deals?
Big Deal Outlet? Big Deal Outlet. That's right. Let's see if we can get any concrete answers what's happening here. Alright.
Somebody about a month ago asked, what's happening there? And we got 30 comments. I heard it's a Trader Joe's and then you get the one guy going Trader Joe's is overrated. And they say O'Reilly's is going to go in the big space. What?
I mean What? So a auto parts store is not gonna no. I mean, they could be because O'Reilly's is currently, like, two blocks down. Yeah. In a in a regular sized location.
Yeah. We don't need a mega O'Reilly's. Well, okay. It looks like everyone's saying it's gonna be O'Reilly's. Oh, that sucks.
Yeah. Because, O'Reilly's, it does make sense to me to a degree because, generally, they've got most of their stuff in the back. You know, they have the storefront out front where you can get your oil or little light bulbs. Oh, that reminds me. I heard my taillight was out, my neighbor told me.
I'm gonna have to check that in a minute. Gotta replace a light bulb. But what? If they had all rights. Moving down moving from the old location to this new one?
I would assume. That's dumb. Because it's I don't like this. Pretty close by. So Bring the Super Target.
Forget O'Reilly's. I agree. I would like to see Super Target or Trader Joe's or something like that. I can't wait to see how many people get mad at me for saying that. I heard Peaches on Cabir says he hates O'Reilly's.
O'Reilly's is great, dude. Like, that's that's where I go to get, they have, like, the best staff. Those guys who work at O'Reilly's have helped me out a number of times, gone way out of their way with helping me with things. They're, like, top notch. So, yeah.
They are great. Like I said, it it would make sense to me because But the the store's huge. I know. It it does seem kind of too big. Too way too big for the theft.
You know, gonna use the back. You know, they'll just have a small front area and the back is like their main regional warehouse or something, you know, so they can get items to their stores quicker or to local, shops. But then what's happening with their old location that's right there by one time? Hopefully, they, turn it into another fast food place because we don't have enough on our side of town. They're always selling burgers, and that's it.
Every single place around here specializes in expensive burgers. Yeah. You want burgers or a car wash? Come to Idaho Falls. Or soda.
You want Yeah. You want something You want a bucket of soda with a Red Bull and lime juice in it. That's right. Go to a Fizz Bizz bucket of what what I don't know what the what they're called. Yeah.
There's a lot of them. Carbonated Carvana. Something dumb. Yeah. Soda's kinda sounding kinda delicious.
I'm drinking this, you know, energy drink. What was the sugar you saw? Between eating the Benson Boone cookie and this energy drink, I definitely need to go get some lunch because I'm feeling a little bit uncomfortable. So anyway, yeah. That's what it is.
It looks like Peach's O'Reilly oh, it's going to be O'Reilly's part warehouse. So that would make total sense. Yay. It's not, you know, super exciting but it should make things easier for people who need auto parts. Sure.
If you haven't got two blocks down to the regular O'Reilly's, we need the Super one. Yeah. Because they don't have enough room in the back for all the different types of things. Oh, like, there's AutoZone, Grease Monkey, all these other places to put like, take your card to. Yeah.
We need a mega O'Reilly's. Well, that like I said, that's where I go. I need to go there, probably That's what we're gonna put in the front of the building. Victor Wilt likes to come here. Yeah.
And that's gonna be their driving force. I would be happy to endorse O'Reilly's. No. It'll say wanna work out a deal? It'll say guy from K Bear likes to come here.
Yeah. Because that's what people like to call you. Guy from K Bear. Figure out my name. You know my name.
There's this big fat guy named Peaches. I don't know why they call him that. And then there's a small version of him that walks by him, walks with him at certain concerts. Say my name. It's like, how are you a fan of K Bar and not know who either of us are?
I think they're pretending. That's what I think. Well, like that one video of, like, the whole Peaches needs a pal at the farmer's market. It's almost like, who who is this? I'm like, how do you follow our page and not know who I am?
Peaches, we get new followers to the page all the time. So then you go, that's me. No, my name. The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem is a production of Riverbend Media Group. For more information or to contact the show, visit riverbendmediagroup.com.
