play Play pause Pause

The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast. Friday, Peaches. Yeah. That's right. Yeah.

Alright. I guess I'm feeling a little bit better today than yesterday. Glad to hear it. Yeah. You know?

All it takes is a little bit of pizza. I'm getting that oh, pizza. Pizza cured my guts. I don't I went to, a street, you know, where Becca works. They had a pizza night, and they do, like, the, oven fired pizza.

Dude, it was bomb peaches. It was bomb. I've never once I don't know if it's be just because I'm, like, not knowing in the area, but I've never once said, you know what? Now that you said the, pizza is oven grilled, oven whatever, now I want it. Yeah.

Pizza is pizza. And stuff. When you get this when you get, like, the habit saying, like, this is our charbroiled burger, I don't care. Just give me the Dane Burger. It it it makes a difference, man.

It was like when I was in Arizona and went to the, you know, the wood fired oven pizza place. Oh. I only have my pizza if it's wood fired. Dude, it was good. It was good.

But, yeah, had a chicken or a spicy chicken cordon bleu pizza and, some other kind of pizza. Chicken cordon bleu. And it was so good. What a highfalutin thing you ate. It was so good.

I start up every morning with eggs Benedict, my special hollandaise sauce. Yeah. No. When it comes to breakfast, I'm pretty basic. But pizza, I'll get a little bit wild with a pizza.

But, anyway, cured my guts, peaches. Cured my guts. So, what even brought this on? How do we get talking about pizza? Just I was gonna mention something.

You're like, my Gus feel better because Oh. You you you got a I'm all excited. Was like, I feel good Yeah. There we go. And then pizza cured.

Okay. Sure. So you said you were gonna get into something? Gonna massage this fry tonight, actually. Pete's gonna get the rug down tonight.

Very nice. That poor masseuse. Yeah. Do they have a special, like, you know, table for a guy of your size? You're gonna have your head in that little hole.

Well, I can guarantee you. And like your whole legs are gonna be sticking off the back of the table. I can guarantee you if that table falls down Oh, jeez. I'm gonna up I'm gonna ask for the security cam footage right away. Oh, yeah.

We gotta get that posted online immediately. Yeah. I've never had a professional massage. So I I would think we might have talked about this the other day because I don't know. It seemed like I'd I'd get weirded out with people touching me and be ticklish.

You know, squirm. The back the back of my knees. I really have been able to go for the feet too. Yeah. I mean, is it full body deep tissue?

I I don't know. Deep tissue is terrible. That that were like they push real hard? Oh, yeah. They really wanna separate the muscle and everything and yeah.

That's what, physical therapy is for. If you're gonna go in and get hurt by somebody. That's not relaxing in any way, shape, or form. This is for you to recover. No.

I've been to lots of, PT, man, and sometimes, oh, they'd just beat the crap out of you. But then you would feel good afterward, but it sucked at the time. Especially, remember when I was having, like, major gut problems? They'd be, like, rearranging my guts. Just, like I don't know.

We we already laughed about this one's year years ago. And it would hurt, dude. It would hurt. Don't elaborate, Peaches. We can't ruin the break.

Let's bail out now before it's too late. This is the noon hour of madness and mayhem. I'm Victor. I'm Peaches. Alright.

Peaches, how many times do you think you'd be willing to get married? Like, let's say you get married, doesn't work out. How many more times would you give it a go before you're like, alright. I give up. I will give myself a total of two times.

Two times? Yeah. I think that's very reasonable. Two times. There is this list I found of the most divorced celebrities in history, and some of these people are out of control.

Jennifer Lopez has to be high up there. Right? Let's see. She has more rings than most NBA players. Alright.

I'm gonna find out if Jennifer Lopez is on the list. She's not on the list. Oh, come on. Yeah. Not according to I know for a fact though Larry King is on this list.

Larry King's on this list. 11 times we've talked about this before. Dude, that that's just out of control. Just out of control. Like, this list says that, he only married seven people.

Doesn't say 11. I'm looking at Jennifer Lopez in marriage past. I just, you know, after two, it's like you don't have to get married. J. Lo's been married four times.

Okay. They must not have put her on the list because they found other people with four like Christie Brinkley, Joan Collins, Liza Minnelli, and Martin Scorsese. So they they all got oh, j J Lo's been married four times, not divorced? Married four times. Okay.

These people were all divorced four times. Larry King also has a total of eight. So it's not 11. It is eight. Eight marriages.

Seven divorces. Like, why do these people continue to get married? I would think out also after a certain age, you just kinda become that single grandparent. There you go. Yeah, Larry.

Come on, bro. Billy Bob Thornton divorced five times. Mickey Rooney six. Now at the top of the list, you've got, well, you got two well, how many people here are tied for seven divorces? Elizabeth Taylor, Lana Turner, and Zsa Zsa Gabor, all divorced Who the heck are those people?

You're like older celebrities, Pete. Is it probably before your time? I know Elizabeth Taylor. Yeah. That just seems so crazy to me because having been through one divorce, I would not ever wanna do it again.

It's awful getting divorced. I clicked on Elizabeth Taylor and his spouse, and then you click on more because it shows two, and and then it's just a whole list of dudes. Yeah. Like, why why do people think you have to get married? Her and Richard Burton were married from '64 to '74 and then got remarried in '76 to '19 or 1975 to 1976 and then divorced again.

Jeez. Dude went back to back. I was just curious. I'm on the same page as you, dude. I think two times getting married Like, if you got divorced after that, okay, never again.

It depends on also how long the first marriage is. Like, let's say it's like twenty five years. Yeah. You're married to that woman and then they just die. Okay.

Well Then I'm kinda like, okay. I'm not really gonna move on. I I don't know. I think I'll just be like, with Steve Irwin's wife and be like, yeah. That that was that was my run.

Thanks. And then You would just be alone and lonely. Yeah. I'm used to it. Not if you were married for twenty five years.

You'd be used to being with somebody for twenty five years. You'd think that then it would be just sad. You'd you'd be sad all the time. You know? Yeah.

I don't know. I thought I was doing good being by myself, then I got lonely. You know? Start yeah. I I get weird when I'm cooped up by myself too long.

I don't know. My brain I don't know. I just start getting really depressed. It's me and the cats. Yeah.

It's not good. You need another human being to talk to. Cats, they might talk back, but they say the same thing over and over. That's all they say. Mhmm.

You know, and until chat g p t can decipher what your cat is saying, you're not getting the right kind of companionship. At least we're not going to that level of just AI Not that. Significant others. Yeah. It's common.

No. But I mean, there's there's already the subreddit. I talked about it. I even posted a little video about it. My boyfriend is AI.

Yeah. And, like, some lady said, I'm a I'm a woman in her forties, and, my husband is so great. And she was talking about Chad GPT. And then yesterday, I talked about how since Chad GPT updated the GPT five Yeah. Some of these people are so worried about their significant others because now they're acting cold towards them.

They acting good. And I'm just imagining some, like, lonely woman in front of her screen just crying her eyes out. He's not paying attention to me. And she's, like, typing up a whole letter. Now South Park's been making fun of the same thing the last, especially this latest episode.

Now wait. Wait. Is there is there a way to get chat g p t to actually speak to you? Like, you can talk to it? Do these people pay the premium membership?

I'm guessing. Do they pay $20 a month? To have this AI significant other? That's cheaper than the average significant other, PJ. I I kinda wanna go to one of these weddings.

I I really wanna go to, like, some, like, lonely woman walk with a walking down the aisle. With her cell phone? And with her cell phone and, like, no. No. Her cell phone's the one that's on the altar.

Ah. Yeah. He's supposed to cry and it just, like, just says tears, tears, tears. His vows are just terrible. Peaches, did we ever get any updates on what's going on with with Howard Stern?

Is this all a publicity stunt? Did he announce that he's signing again? There was something that SiriusXM no. Not SiriusXM. Barstool Sports posted yesterday because they have, like, the inside scoop Yeah.

On what's going on with SiriusXM because they also had they had that Call Her Daddy podcast with Alex Cooper that was really high up there. Mhmm. But let me look up this real quick because I should have had this prepared. Yeah. Howard's getting trashed online pretty bad right now Of course he is.

By a lot of different people. Because yeah. They're saying, you know, they think this might have just been a desperate bid to stay relevant. That was it right there. Yeah.

That was it. That was, like, the whole thing is that, basically, people were going to, like, hopefully, be like, no. Don't go away. And that's what he was hoping for. And that didn't happen.

But all the audience was like, please, you're 71. You've turned into this extremist political commentator and also a celebrity discussion guy. Yeah. And you nobody likes your show anymore. Yeah.

He's it's time to retire. Mhmm. Sit back and enjoy your billions or however much money he has. Huns. Way too much.

Way too much money. Like, I mean, even Marc Maron was trashing on him, and Marc Maron doesn't tend to do that too often. I I know he has been going kinda crazy lately. I was gonna say he's turned into that wacky old dude that's just trying to stay relevant. My podcast is ending.

I want everyone to know about it. Well, what he was saying was he was like, I wanted to make my legacy solid rather than just fade away like Howard Stern. So he, you know, go out on the high note. You know? I I mean, hopefully, I'll keep at least doing stand up.

The his latest stand up stuff has been pretty good, but I would imagine, you know, with the podcast, I think he did, like, two a week. That probably took away quite a bit from the stand up material you know because you're just doing nothing but prepping you know prepping relentlessly because he he'd do some pretty crazy prep for those interviews oh yeah he'd have a artist come in he'd listen to like he's got tons of their discography and read up on all their history and, you know, put in a lot more effort than we do when we do interviews. But he didn't for yourself. Sure. He just sure.

Right. I was just wondering if there were any Howard Stern updates because, Well, I think since the reason his actual page is posting, like, resign or resign and it shows the guy all sweaty trying to pick which button, they're they're teasing that, like, there's gonna be some big decision made on September 2 when he comes back. Because can you imagine, you're getting paid a $100,000,000 a year, and he took the entire summer off. I was talking about this on my show. I was like, I had a listener literally comment on one of my posts one time saying, I take too much vacation.

That you do? I do. Yeah. I I've had people say that to me recently. And I'm like, what the what are you talking about?

I'm sure I've worked more days than this guy ever has. Yeah. And, like, I I just take to, like, twice a year. I go back home for a week each time. Yeah.

We only have so much time off we're allowed to take, and it it sucks because, I mean, you know, to help my daughter move, I ate up my time off. Right. Now I gotta, like, hope I don't get sick for months. But nobody yells at Howard Stern for taking the entire summer off. Yeah.

And he's making a 100,000,000 a year. Right. And they're just basically running but the thing is is that he's been doing, the radio show long way longer than I've been alive. Yeah. But at the same time, like, that's still a radio DJ that needs to do his job.

If he can't do it, toss him out. Exactly. Take a week off like everybody else gets to do, you know, maybe twice a year. And also Give you luck. He's broadcasting from his basement in Florida.

Like, he's not doing the actual show in the studio anymore. No. He's basically even worse is that he only shows up to the studio if the guest is worth talking to. Like, Pamela Harris, he showed up for the studio. Bruce Springsteen, he showed up in the studio for.

Everybody else, he's like talking to them via TV. That's so lame. And you give that kind of money to do that? Yeah. If I showed up and all of a sudden Howard's interviewing me via TV and I gotta talk to him via that way, like, he's some sort of AI chatbot going back to the whole thing.

Yeah. I I hope that I hope that they don't give him that same kinda deal again because they need to open up some of that radio money to other people. I guarantee you there's gonna be a major contract signed. Yeah. You're right.

It's gonna be like two more years. Everyone's gonna laugh, and then people will still somehow tune in. Not the amount that it used to be, but I can guarantee you it's people that just want to have the same old guy they listen to a little bit over. It's like, you know, the people who listen to my show. I don't know why.

It's the noon hour of madness and mayhem and Peaches and I were just having a little behind the scenes chuckle at, local radio promotion from another station. You know, and we've done these kind of things before where you go deliver food to local businesses. Yeah. You know? It was fun doing pizza madness.

Yeah. And delivering all those pizzas to a wide variety of businesses. I've had the Facebook memories pop up as of late. It's like, hey, three years ago, you delivered to so and so. Yeah.

They're all happy. I there was one place, I'm not gonna name the name, of course, but I thought they'd be so happy I was delivering them pizza and they're like, drop it over the front door. And then the the guys that were the most grateful, the business that was the most grateful, jumping for joy, was Grand Teton Harley Davidson. These big biker dudes were like, sweet, we got pizza. Exactly, dude.

And and then the other one was like some sort of, like, animal care facility. Like, you thought they would have been beyond grateful. But the old lady upfront, keep them outside. It'll make the dogs upset. Well, I can tell you, dude.

Bikers are are nice and they're fun. Yeah. So I'm not surprised at all by that. But we were talking out there about, you know, this other radio station that's doing was it pizza deliveries? Yeah.

That's the exact same thing we did. It's just a surprise surprise. They copied our segment. Yeah. And if we just started signing up random local businesses and, you know, put them under a different name.

Put them under some fake name. Yeah. So they show up at the address and they're like, oh, we're here here filming. We just have to go in. You know, maybe some adult adult oriented shops.

I'm just imagining, like, you put a fake name that's like, hey. I'm looking for Ben Dover. Signed up for, you know, Pizza Mayhem. Walk in. The the people that are in there shopping horrified that somebody's filming them?

Yeah. There's a couple different clubs you might be able to sign up. You can't use a camera in here. Were you talking about the particular bar in Pocatello that we should send them to? Well, there's there's a few.

There's some in Idaho Falls. There's Pokey. Okay. Very nice. Yeah.

I don't think he does anything outside of Idaho Falls because I Probably not. I may have signed up one business that's in I may have signed up one business that's in Rexburg, and I'm thinking he won't make the drive out there. That's a shame because it's supposed to be random drawing. Right. It's supposed to be fan.

When I did pizza madness, I went to ISU. I ran into, Steve for the very first time with your friend Steve there. Yeah. Gave him a sticker thinking he was just some listener. He's like, I know who you are.

He's like, I've known, insert Victor's real name here for for years. And I was like, okay. Well, sorry. Yeah. I don't know.

I think we might have to do that. Just start signing up random businesses under different names. I I feel like, though, we might get in trouble with Jade or something like that because they're gonna do the whole thing where they find out about it because of us talking about it on the air, and then they go to management and go like, hey, they're tampering with our station. I just is it in the rules that, you know, other radio stations can't sign up random businesses? No.

Yeah? I think it'd be funny. I think it'd be funny too because you just put in the address. They're gonna punch it in the GPS. They don't know what it is till they show up and they're ready to film.

You know what? Station vehicle rolls in. Just didn't hear you. The station vehicle parked at that place at least for a few with other traffic driving by. And they're like, what's going on over here?

They gave me an idea, though, for, like, surprise pizza drop. Like, we just team up with a local pizza spot, and we just choose the business. And we go in there with pizzas and just throw them at them, you know? I'm down. Something like that.

Are you listening, local pizza places who want to, work with K Bear? Doesn't have to be pizza too. We could do tacos or something or, like, burgers. Taco toss? Yeah.

Taco toss. The the burger mhmm. Well, we have something for, November that we're trying to line up involving ham that I that I'm hoping I'm sincerely even Jade is really excited about that one. I'm hoping that we can get that one going. I hope so.

Yeah. We're working on a lot of fun stuff, everybody. We've got some big giveaways coming up. Soup surprise. You just check out the whole thing.

Alright, everybody. I hope you have a good weekend. Peach has still got the pit party coming up. And, yeah. No.

It's called Peaches Papusa Party, and I throw pupusas at, different businesses. Who's who's gonna say no to that? Oh, yeah. It's good good, what's this? Salvadorian food?

Is that what it is? El Salvadorian food? I'm not sure. I just know it's good. My friend Randy told me about them because he's from El Sal his mom's from El Salvador, but yeah.

Hey. This sounds like We we gotta take on these other guys doing food deliveries, and we will deliver to those type of businesses we're talking about. We gotta walk in and talk like them too. We go, hey, guys. I got four pies for you.
