The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast. Well, hello, peaches. Welcome to the Thursday and bummer edition of the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. It's pre Friday. Pre Friday.
That sounds great. I am definitely looking forward to Friday. I need a four day week calm down. Yeah. But it wasn't fun.
But you didn't work or do anything. Dude. Did the last week off too? What are you talking about? Dude, if I I would have much rather been at work yesterday than dealing with what I was dealing with.
It was not pleasant. And I still don't feel great today, but I'm gonna try to eat food after this show. And hopefully, it doesn't come back up. Next week, I have my, four day week myself, and then I'm gone. Good, Rich.
Gone for a week. Oh, I can't wait. To the land of, I don't know. The land of, what is it? The land of?
Too many people. Yeah. I would say that. So anyhow, today's kind of a bummer day in the world of rock and metal. If you haven't seen the news online, you know, I you know, I'm a huge fan of this band, and it's been kind of a bummer situation with this band for a while because, you know, Brent Hines, you know, founding member and guitarist of the band left, and then there was all this drama and Well, he got kicked out.
Yeah. Well, was was it kicked out or left? I don't remember. He was saying he got kicked out of the band, and then I'm gonna censor myself saying this. He said they're a crap band with crap people.
Yeah. So a lot of drama, and that that always sucks because you always hope, alright. You know, they'll have some time off, and then, you know, they they get it back together. Because, I mean, Mastodon is one of the best live bands on the planet. And Brent Hines, man, playing live, he just killed.
Just killed. Not not the right word in there. But Well, I'm sorry. It's a bit this is this is metal talk, peaches. I don't think he would mind me saying that he killed a guitar.
But, sadly, he was killed last night in a motorcycle accident. Yeah. You gotta be careful out there driving around. There's been so many accidents that I've seen here in the area. And Atlanta is a huge busy city.
Busy 10 the South is known for terrible driving. Mississippi's always ranked like the top state for crashes with deaths. Yeah. When I was talking about hating driving in Seattle, somebody called mentioned Atlanta. So that sucks.
I was really looking forward to seeing him play live again sometime. He's a metal legend, especially in the world of, like, crazy prog metal. It just sucks. There had been too many deaths lately. Please, you know, if you're out there driving, watch out for motorcycles.
K? You know, we we see a lot of motorcycle accidents, people not paying attention, be extra vigilant and paying attention on the roads. There's a lot of people traveling this time of year. And, yeah, sucks, dude. Imagine being the guy who crashed into him.
It's terrible. That's a whole thing to go through. I mean, imagine being the person who crashed into anybody. You know? I'm saying with that whole situation too, it's just like imagine, like, oh, that's, that's Brent Hines of Mastodon.
You just went to the hospital, and now he's no longer here. So bummed out about that, but, you know, ripped to, Brent Hines, you know, thinking of his family and friends. A lot of metalheads sad today. So, of course, we gotta play play a lot of mastodon. Gonna bust out the beginning of the show with a couple tracks, then we'll be back and we'll try to get into more pleasant things to talk about.
Here's peace and tranquility. Couple of Mastodon's latest tracks in memory of Brent Hines, former guitarist of the band who tragically passed away last night in an automobile accident. Yeah, I don't know what else to say about it, Pete. Just Well, you know, yesterday, you missed out on a very important holiday for us. I I saw the post from every single person in radio that I know, National Radio Day.
So thank you for posting a picture of me on the, KhabAir page. Yeah. I wanted to keep the KhabAir page one simple, but I kept mine, you know, I kept mine comedic. Making fun of those two at the same time that Yeah. Have tattoos of old microphones on them or they've been in the business for fifty years and they've been all over the all over the country.
They just kept getting fired. You gotta like the, call letter list. Oh, yeah. You know, when they post every station they've ever been at. Mhmm.
Which I guess I could have done that and posted all of our stations in the building, like KCVI, KCVI HD two, KCVI HD three, KFTZ, KFTZ HD two, you know, and so on. Farm country twelve sixty. Farm country. Farm country twelve six. I don't know why that was hard to say.
But, yes, if you are a farmer and you want your daily ag reports, I don't know if you heard, we launched another radio station, Farm Country 12:60AM, and you get all your ag reports and farm news and rodeo updates and classic country music. So, yeah. Neat. So I coulda listed 13 stations, and, I'm still at all of them. I shoulda done that, but I I wasn't feeling well enough yesterday to even look at my phone.
I was gonna be a straight up jerk and be like, these are the stations I've been at. ACVI. Okay. Cool. And then just that's it.
But you've been at KTHK. But I wanted to make it a joke Oh, okay. That it was just, you know, one station, not like someone somebody else who's been, like I mentioned, all over the country Yes. Who's been also, in the business for forty years. It's I feel I feel like every radio boomer posts that picture of when I used to look good, I think.
Yeah. I I could've done that. Here's a picture of me with hair. Here's a picture of me now. Well, that's what I did.
Oh, yeah. You did do that, Peach. As a matter of fact. So you did the typical radio post. Very fine.
I did it for, like, hey, I didn't start in the seventies. I started four and a half years ago. And, boy, if you wanna talk about a holiday that nobody cares about other than the people who actually work in the biz, that's National Radio Day. Oh, there's tons of holidays out there that nobody really cares about. Come on.
Well, now Labor Day. Today, we get an extra day off. I can go buy a mattress at a discounted price. Oh, I do need to buy, carpet shampooer. Think those are on sale?
Carpet shampooer. It's very fun. Victor Wilkes. It's very fun and exciting item to buy. I need an adult product like a carpet shampooer.
I do. You know? When you got pets, gotta have a carpet shampooer, and, my other one decided to just start letting all of the liquid pour out of it when you turn it on. So it's, you can still suck it back up, but it doesn't do what it's supposed to. You need to spray and, you know, scrub.
You know Aubrey's parents have a Roomba? Yeah. They just got they just moved into a new place. Carpet's in the basement, you know. They just tested out the Roomba in the the basement, and the the Roomba's not knowing what to do, and they're yelling at it.
It's like, oh, it's a first world problem if I've ever heard one. My my robotic vacuum keeps getting lost. I've thought about getting a robotic vacuum, you know, because I'm lazy and I don't like to vacuum. But I also leave a bunch of crap laying around on the floor, and I think you you can't do that. You know, you gotta have stuff picked up.
Oh, yeah. So, you know, one of these days. Plus, they're expensive. Not cheap. Not cheap.
And I have a vacuum. I don't even have a regular vacuum. I have the one that's, like, awful. That's, like, $30 from Walmart. But right now, I have a a offers vacuum in my second metro.
Yeah. Note to everybody out there. Here's a adulting tip. You have to spend a little money on a vacuum because the cheap vacuums, they don't suck. Same with, toilet paper and paper towels.
That's another thing you gotta really spend a little extra for. I don't know. I buy the Winco brand. Don't buy the one ply? No.
I don't buy one ply. Well, that's what I'm I'm implying here Yeah. Is that if you buy the cheaper brand, you're gonna all of a sudden have a have a surprise. Yeah. And, I mean, some people have to use the one ply if you're on, like, a septic system, you know, out in the country because your toilet, you know, it'll it'll, like, ruin the septic system.
Might as well just, like, take care of business with a leaf or something. You know? Oh, but I don't think you can put leaves in the septic system. Go back to nature. Just go out back.
Alright. We'll be back in a second, people. Peaches. What? What are you naturally good at?
Being fat. You're just naturally good at me too, dude. Being the awkward guy that's in the corner. But then I can't find out, you know. There was I mean, I'm still bothered by the one listeners, like, did you did you not like Seether Peaches?
And it's like, why why do you ask that? Oh, you didn't bang your head or anything. Like, why are you watching me? Well, listen. I'm like, apparently, if Seether was so entertaining, you wouldn't be watching me in the crowd.
Well, and at that show, people would get mad if you were moving at all. So Oh, yeah. The fan base is just terrible. Like, no offense Seether fans, but that No. That's that's all offense for me.
All offense for Peaches. Yeah. But that crowd, I I don't know. There there were a number of people in the crowd that I don't know if they'd ever been in an open floor show. They don't stay out of my space bubble.
It's like, you you gotta sit in the seats then. You know, the floor is gonna get potentially a little bit crazy. Well, that's the thing too. It's I don't understand people who just wanna go to the seats. No matter how old I get, I would always love to be as close to the stage as possible.
Oh, I like the seats sometimes. I I don't fit in those. Like, okay, at the Billy String Show I went to on, Friday. K. Never been to this venue before.
Forget what it was even called. Indoor venue. And you'd think that Ronnie Radke had decided to set the temperatures in this building. It was hot peaches. Hot.
And I was just pouring sweat. Pouring sweat. And I was in the seats in an area where there weren't a lot of people around me. There was an open pit full of hippies. Alright?
Packed with hippies. They were all hippies. I guarantee that it was extremely hot down there and, you know, maybe a little smelly. I still think there was a quite there was quite a few, overdramatic people at the falling in reverse show when they when the whole heat thing happened. It's a passing out really.
Oh, you know? This one Worse the Oscar goes to. This one might have even been worse than falling in reverse. It was hot. Like, I mean, I poured sweat the whole show, but it was worth it.
Sorry. I was trying to cover up my cough, but I think your mic still picked it up. Anyway, I was looking at this thing online where people were talking about things they were naturally good at, and I figured it would be an easy way to just throw jabs at you, like, naturally good at getting the item off the top shelf. Yeah. You know?
That's a jab. Oh, I'm hurt. Naturally good at not being able to fit into a Corvette. Yeah. Yeah.
No. Well, earlier we I did that break about short people who wanna extend their legs. Well, I was talking about that whole thing too before, you know, when you had your week off and stuff. Well, it might have been yesterday that I might I might have talked about it because it popped up in the news again about the leg lengthening surgery. Yeah.
I'm like, dude, if you if you get five foot six and you get the leg lengthening surgery and you're like now five foot eleven, you're gonna look dumb. You're gonna have these extremely long legs that when by the time you turn, like, 40, they're not gonna work anymore. No. And your because you broke them. Your legs aren't gonna match your torso.
No. You're gonna look strange. It's gonna look like, what, that SpongeBob episode where he takes Pearl to prom and he has the extendo legs. I don't know. That's me now.
But that is what it'll look like. Okay. When he does it, it kinda looks like Jay Davis because he has the the emo haircut. And five six isn't that short. Oh, well.
You know? How tall is Danny DeVito? Four eleven. Something like that? So I I think Lieutenant Crane is like five three.
Yeah. Maddie's five three and she was in here for traffic school this past Friday, And I saw them both standing next to each other. They're they're even. Five three's not even that bad. Okay.
Come on. Alright. I mean I was five eight when I was 10. Okay? That's how tall I am now.
That's as tall as I'm gonna get, peaches, and it's just fine. I I know. It's kinda like the hair thing like I mentioned. People get real freaked out about their hair. Like, dudes, you'll be able to find a girlfriend as long as you're cool.
You just gotta be cool. It's all it take. Good personality. Most women also like the bold look to be quite honest. Like Yeah.
They don't wanna see the whole you clinging on for dear life. No. No. They don't want the guy with the, the horseshoe. Right.
You know? Oh, the golden one. The worst hairstyle that I cannot stand is when some guy has the horseshoe, but it has a ponytail. Right? It's pretty brutal.
It has like it's like the Paul Heyman look. Maybe I should grow my hair and do that. Do you think I'd still have a girlfriend if I did that? You kinda look like Paul Heyman. The noon hour of Madness of Mayhem is a production of Riverbend Media Group.
