The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast. You know what sucks about doing this show solo is that it's basically just an extension of my show. At least when Victor is here or Maddie's here, I get to have some other voice on the air with me to, talk about other things with. Well, I wanted to begin Peach's pep party with this. I still might talk about it, but I figured why not also the very first time I hop on the air today, talking about the biggest news that I saw last night, Howard Stern.
Now it was reported by The Sun, not necessarily the best news source, but for some reason, Barstool Sports also said Howard Stern is done. He's his show is getting canceled. But then I see New York Post posted a couple, hours ago. Howard Stern's future with SiriusXM up in the air as $500,000,000 contract nears its end. $500,000,000 He got a $100,000,000 for five years each year.
Isn't that crazy just to be a radio show host and you know, what's even worse is that he's off for the summer. He's not even on the air right now. He's just racking in millions of dollars while a team of people puts on his, best ofs from for for many years worth of, radio. So, I mean, it's not necessarily like he just stumbled into that position. He worked for it.
Clearly, he's been doing radio for many years, started out as one of the craziest shock jocks ever. You know, he was the first ever shock jock. You know, shocking audiences. People would hate listen to him and all of that. He is 71 now.
And, what Siri what, what the sources are saying to, the Daily Mail is that he may do a one to two year contract if they can meet him where he wants financially. He doesn't want to pull the plug on his employees like that is what he says. Now his show now, I I've argued with Victor back and forth saying it's not the same whatsoever. He just does celebrity interviews. He doesn't really go at it the way that he used to.
He used to make fun of everything. But then he became also very political and very obviously one way. And once you start getting political on the air, I feel like I don't know. People will just stop listening overall, to be quite honest with you. I myself avoid politics like the plague.
I hate talking about them. I keep all of my views private, all everything. So it's just once he went off the rails and started, like, accusing people of doing of, you know, not staying inside back in 2020, he's still doing that now. He does the show from his basement at his house in Florida, I think, because I don't think he lives in New York anymore. He just went to some place warmer as everybody does once they get old.
I can't believe his dad or is it his mom that's still alive? His dad lived to, like, the age of ninety eight. One of his parents is still alive, which is wild to me. I wonder how they're doing. But, yeah, I mean, if he retires, one of the greatest careers, the greatest career in radio history, 100%.
Another source said Howard Stern is even thinking about parting ways with SiriusXM. Stern stated the second, iteration of the Howard Stern show on SiriusXM in 2006 has remained, oh, and it has remained a staple ever since. Yeah. He started in Sirius in 02/2006, gone almost twenty years on on satellite radio, and he's almost done. But, I wonder how many people are still listening to that show.
I was looking at the comments. Everybody was saying the same thing I was. Like, he used to be great. Now he sucks. Is that money still up for grabs?
Am I able to, take over that contract? Do the show from wherever I want, make that much money per year, take summers off, go vacation? Imagine that lifestyle. Oh, good for you. It's the noon hour of madness and mayhem, and what the heck is that title right there?
I just read, a Russian mommy blogger broke her spine while attempting the viral Nicki Minaj stiletto challenge that has taken TikTok by storm, apparently. I love when things take TikTok by storm, but I never see these viral videos popping up on my feed. For this one, I have. But the one that I talked about yesterday about people taping watermelons to their vacuums for it to be pressured to the ground and have it do its job better. I haven't seen a single video like that.
Just recording yourself vacuuming this stiletto challenge. Basically, you have to do like what what kind of pose is this? You put, like, one foot on top of something small. You're wearing stiletto heels. You kinda look like a character out of Assassin's Creed, if that really paints the picture for it, if you haven't seen this type of thing.
You maybe look like, for the older audience, something out of, like, The Karate Kid with training with mister Miyagi, where you're doing this weird, like, crane pose on top of the tiny little thing. But, basically, what this woman did, she's an aspiring influencer. She only has a little over 1,200 followers on Instagram. I'm almost at more followers than her. So you basically hit this pose while the camera rotates around you.
The Nicki Minaj song plays behind you. This lady just broke her spine. Just completely shattered it. Did she end up posting it? I I see screenshots, so I'm assuming she did unless I don't know.
She just submitted those photos. I couldn't imagine uploading the video of you breaking your own spine while attempting to do a well, maybe she would. Now she has national attention. So what's her name? Let's look her up because maybe I should fake an injury on online for content creation just to see how many, followers I can get.
What's her name again? Is it something completely crazy? Mariana Bruthakra. Did I just cast a spell? Mariana Barutkina.
Barutkina. Let's see if she even posted it. Oh, is her account taken down? Did I did I spell this correctly? Probably not.
Mariana Barukina. No. I spelled it correctly. I wonder if her account got taken down. It must have, but all of the, screenshots of her, all the articles about her breaking her spine are literally everywhere.
You attempt a challenge, you fail at it, you get blasted, all about it on National News. So yesterday, as I was, flipping around on radio stations, from all across the, the country because I like to just hear how radio other radio DJs sound on the air. And this duo was talking about this complete list of the greatest comedy movies of all time. And I always love dumb lists. You know, there's always people who put out their opinion online.
They list their favorite comedies. They list their favorite whatever. Sometimes it's bad. Sometimes it's pretty good. Most of the time, people will just disagree with you in the comment section because everything's subjective when it comes to this type of thing.
But what is this? Time Out World? Put up the list of the top 50 top 100 greatest comedy movies of all time. I have never seen this classic from 1984, but I've been, meaning to. It's on my list of movies that I'll possibly never get to.
This is Spinal Tap at number one. Number one, greatest comedy movie of all time. For this guy, this is Spinal Tap. Number two, Airplane. I have seen that movie.
It is a fantastic comedy, way ahead of its time. Number three, Monty Python's Life of Brian. I don't care whatsoever about any my Monty Python movie. I think they're awful. Annie Hall from 1977 at number four, a Woody Allen movie.
I haven't even heard of that one. I guess I'll add that to the list. Groundhog Day, number five. The Jerk with Steve Martin at number six. I've seen bits and pieces here and there about the Jerk, and I think it's it looks like a fantastic movie.
Would love to watch it. So Team America World Police number eight, I skipped seven with Nail and I from 1987. Maybe I should post this on our, Kayberg group and also ask later on today for To Peach Their Own. What would you consider the is the greatest comedy movie of all time? Wrapping up the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, I am Peaches.
And this is one of those things again where I wish I could have just talked about it on my show, but I had to bring it to this program to, discuss on here. Maybe I will talk about, I don't know, some of the same stuff. I don't necessarily want you to tune in here, hear the same same stuff later on this afternoon. Add this, though, to the list of things you didn't expect to see online this week. You know, Attila frontman, Chris Fronczak, the Franz?
He's beefing with mister Beast on social media over his newly announced team water campaign. Mister Beast, whose real name, of course, Jimmy Donaldson, he's the most subscribed to guy ever. 419,000,000 people are subscribed to his, YouTube channel. He's also the creator of the show, Beast Games, all of that. So earlier this month, mister Beast and also fellow YouTuber Mark Rober announced a new campaign called Team Water in collaboration with WaterAid.
The proposal aims to raise $40,000,000 to provide quality water access to 2,000,000 people in need for several decades. So Franz calls out mister Beast's campaign in a social media post yesterday alleging that the idea already failed. He said, I see a lot of discourse about this one, but no one is mentioning the fact that mister Beast went to Africa and built 100 wells in 2023, and they all failed one year later due to lack of maintenance. I believe everyone should always help other people, but this idea already failed, he wrote. So, mister Beast, I think yeah.
Literally came back saying, that's a flat out lie. We recently had the 100 wells audited because of these false rumors, which erodes true or which erodes trust in philanthropic, efforts and is not cool, and the wells are working. Feel like the Franz is just desperate for attention. I shouldn't say that because maybe he's tuning in or somebody's gonna report it to him. Next thing you know, he's gonna start screaming at me online.
That would be great at some point in my career to have a rock star, metal musician yell about me on Twitter. It's like getting outed by the, the creators of South Park. That's when you know you've made it. Anyway, I'll see you at 2PM for the start of Peach's Pip Party. I'll leave you with Ice Nine Kills, the great unknown here on the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem on K Bear one zero one.
