[upbeat music] The noon hour of madness and mayhem, the podcast. Okay.
I was saying, did you like my post from, uh, uh, from r/wendys?
I don't know if I saw it.
Do you like Wendy's? [laughs]
[laughs] That sounds like it could potentially be bad too, Peaches. [laughs]
Well, uh, in r/wendys someone posted, "I ate a pretzel baconator in the woods," and that's, that's literally it.
Oh, that's it?
I posted it. Nobody has said anything about that meme [laughs] in the K-Bear 101-
Uh, I'm gonna like it. [laughs]
... Idaho rock and metal Facebook group, so there's that.
[laughs] It must've been a black metal band. They were out doing their photo shoot, but they needed something to eat. You know, you get hungry out there. It's cold.
I had to, uh, explain to Aubrey what black metal was
'cause, uh, she saw the book. We were moving my bookshelf. Uh, we, we, we rearranged my now computer room.
Oh yes.
And we moved the tiny little bookshelf to the right-hand side. Moved the, uh, statue of Hulk Hogan 'cause I still have that. Uh, moved the beanbag to the corner. Uh, she kinda has now her, her scrapbooking beanbag corner there.
Ooh.
And then I'm on the computer, so it's like a little doggy bed for the-
For the girlfriend. [laughs]
... for the lady in the background. So if I ever go stream on Twitch, she can just sit back there and go, "La, la, la, la, la." And glue stuff together, cut stuff up.
Hey, you know, she could start her own stream. Scrapbooking stream?
Sure.
There's gotta be some nerds out there who'd wanna watch that.
I mean, there's tons of people watching dumb stuff all the time. I go on TikTok and you see all these different businesses that are like, "Oh hey, we got these, uh, poorly wrapped tumblers. We're selling these for $20 each if you want Chuck E. on a tumbler."
[laughs] Dude, there's some-
"Buy this plus $7.99 shipping and handling." It's so dumb, but they make a ton of money.
Oh yeah, dude, there's tons of garbage content. Um, it blows my mind some of the terrible content that just gets tons of views. It's like what are we doing? [laughs]
There was that one TikTok that I posted of you just messing with the AC unit.
It was very popular. [laughs]
And it got 10,000 views on our TikTok a long time ago.
I know. [laughs]
I remember you walked into The Hawk studio 'cause I was, I was afternoons on The Hawk at the time and you were just like, "Peaches, you're a jerk for posting this."
[laughs]
And I'm like, "What? What did hap- what happened?" And you were like, "This got 10,000 views."
[laughs]
Me with my hand up messing with the AC in the K-Bear studio.
I got another one. The light bulb over there wasn't cooperating, so I could try to turn it on and get mad at it. Old man tries to figure out lamp.
Are you gonna fake a, fake a video now?
Yeah, that t- well not really 'cause it is not cooperating. And I'll be like, "What? What do you mean I need to use an app? Why do we got to use an app for everything nowadays?" 'Cause you hear that complaint.
Uh, I do have those, uh, RGB bulbs in that-
Mm-hmm
... in that, uh ... Why, why does every light here in Idaho look like a, uh, chest area for a woman?
Uh, 'cause people like it.
For some reason-
They're not.
... every single light in my place has that.
[laughs]
And the one in my kitchen, this is a first world problem, the one in my little dining room area m- more specifically, um, won't open up so I can't put more, fresh light bulbs in there. One of them's dead, so I just have half a light-
Ooh
... on my dining room table. [fake crying]
That is a first world problem. [laughs]
Yeah, right? I, I can't believe it.
Oh, what am I gonna do? I can see not as good as I could otherwise. [laughs]
But I can totally relate to the, uh, having to open up an app and change the color of my RGB l- lights. And, uh, it looks kinda silly from the outside, you know?
Yeah, that's why I haven't turned ... Like, I was in here for four hours today. I could have easily turned that light on and fired up the app. And gone, "Okay, that's the light that's now yellow," and turned it back to re- or I could light them up different. We could try blue.
Sure.
You know?
There's a lot of red in here. It looks like Kane's about to come into the studio and choke slam us.
I know. All right, but h- hold on, while, while we yap I'll pull up the app and figure it out. But oh, I got to go over there, turn the light on. It's so rough, Peaches. It's a lot of work.
My dad was telling me that, uh, th- they're, my parents' neighbor, uh, Nancy, she's a l- she's older.
Mm-hmm.
But for some reason, she bought herself a new Lexus.
Okay.
And that thing i- is like a, that thing's a monster, uh, to her.
Yeah.
She's a tiny woman.
Okay.
But it's a whole touch screen on the inside.
Mm-hmm.
And I think she's close to 80 years old. To her, it's probably like trying to fly a plane.
[laughs] A UFO.
And so she hates it. My dad's also reaching that age where he's calling them gadgets and gizmos.
[laughs]
And he, he's just like, "I don't, I don't need a car with the gadgets and gizmos. I want a knob."
[laughs]
[laughs] Like, okay Dad.
Oh man. One of these days, it's gonna be us, dude. It, it happens.
I feel, I, I'm gonna be real sad once I reach that age. I feel like the old man Peaches is gonna be so, even more bitter and mean. [laughs]
I mean, I get closer and closer to it every day.
Right.
You know, with ... I'll find out about the new apps that the young people use. And you know, I, I just can't do it. Like Discord, I get it, but I, I just can't use it.
Oh, Discord's fun.
I know, but I've got a phone. I can just text message somebody.
Nah, just jo- join, join the Discord call.
Ah.
Hop in there, we'll, we'll do some, uh, some fun stuff. I don't know.
Yeah, but-
Play a game.
... we've talked about this.
I have a PC now. Now that you can, I can turn my webcam on, you can see me. [laughs]
I know, I've used it. I'm just ... I mean, I guess part of the problem is I need to work on my PC. Haven't been doing that. Been working on unpacking boxes and-
Trying to figure out those parts. Now that's something I'm lost on.
Ah. S-
Trying to figure out wha- what's compatible on my computer. I found this website called canirunit.com.
Mm-hmm.
And I was trying to figure out if I could run Cyberpunk and it says not recommended.
What?
But, but it does recommend me to run Red Dead Redemption 2.
Yeah.
And that's a much bigger game. Uh, I think it's because Cyberpunk is packed to the brim with all this stuff and you need like a monster-
Yeah, but you could-
... of a computer to really run that thing.
Maybe if you wanna run it at like ultra settings, but I would think your computer would r- run Cyberpunk fine. Mine runs it.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, mine runs-
You should be fine, dude.
I'll try.
Can I run it? Can shut up. [upbeat music]
There we go.
That's what I say.
It can take a free fall. [upbeat music] Victor, I have an honest question for you. What do we need the dodo bird for?
... we don't have it anymore, do we?
Well, the, the scientists, scientists are closer to bringing back the Dodo bird, is what I'm reading here. It might be extinct, but it's not forgotten, the first line of the article. And now it's one step closer to a comeback. You know the same company trying to bring, bring back the, uh, woolly mammoth?
Yeah.
They're trying to bring back, bring, bring back the Dodo bird.
Why don't we bring back tyrannosaurus? Come on, let's just-
Wh- why?
... go, go full Jurassic Park.
No. We, we've seen plenty of movies that say not to do that.
[laughs]
Are you kidding me?
Yeah, but who cares? Who cares in this day and age? We might as well go crazy.
Imagine getting killed by tyrannosaurus rex in 2025.
[laughs] Dude, I'm all for it. Let's bring back all the dinosaurs. Like what, what other hideous creatures from the past could we bring back? Saber tooth tigers?
What would be the worst possible animal to bring back?
From extinction? Yeah.
I'm looking that up real quick.
I'm guessing it's gotta be a dinosaur. You know, 'cause they, they, they're just huge.
The megalodon.
The, the-
The ma- massive shark.
Yeah.
It's like 40 feet. [laughing]
That's right, let's bring it back. [laughs]
Till I, actually I think they're bigger than that, I think they're like 100 feet long. It's gonna be ridiculous.
I don't know, we got to look it up, dude.
Like they're huge. I've seen exaggerated pictures online but I actually wanna see like the, the, the legitimate l- uh, size of these things. How big was the megalodon? It was bigger than 40 feet. Maximum length ranging from 50 to 60 feet. Some research suggests a potential length of up to 65 feet. They could weigh around 114 tons.
Geez. Yeah, let's bring them back, dude.
Yeah, why?
Because
And peaches- Nobody would ever wanna surf again, dude. I- This- But that'd be fun. Tha- tha- even just looking at a picture of it freaks me out. Just looking at the jaw of this thing.
[laughs]
What would that thing eat?
Uh, hopefully people.
All, all the seals?
[laughs] Yeah, I guess the oceans would probably deplete fast.
What's the, uh, Deinosuchus? What is that? [laughs]
Deinosuchus?
Yeah.
I've never heard of that one, Peaches.
Oh, it's the, uh, you know the sort of mega alligator in Jurassic Park?
Uh, mega- oh yeah.
Tha- that's the one.
Yeah.
It would suck to bring back. I would never, ever, ever step foot even in the bathtub if they brought back either of those two animals, let alone, um, [laughs] let alone the ocean.
[laughs] I say bring it all back, Peaches. We need some excitement in this world.
Uh, we nee-
It's time.
We need to bring back like the sloths that were the size of vans-
Yeah
... from way back when.
Dude, I'm down for that too.
You know?
Totally down.
What else is there? The quetzal c- uh, coatless. Uh, that, that, that giant flying ... It's way bigger than a T-rex, like it would eat giraffes.
And it flies?
And it flies.
Oh dude, can you imagine it swooping down, just picking up people?
Y- y- all of a sudden like you're, you're flying-
[laughs]
Like I'm flying back home from Idaho Falls to-
[laughs]
... to Seal Beach and all of a sudden some quetzal coatless lands on the plane.
[laughs]
Crashes the whole f- [laughs] thing.
Yeah, dude. You know? Come on, let's kick it up a notch in the excitement level in this world.
Their wing span was nearly 40 feet. [laughs]
[laughs]
That's how big. They weight, uh, around 500 pounds too.
Wow. Five-
The quetzal coatless.
That's the largest bird ever to li- have lived on earth. You're really quiet over there, what are you doing?
Oh, just searching for, you know, hideous creatures [laughs]-
Are, are you-
... to bring back.
You're looking if it ... Y- y- I, I feel like you're not doing much-
[laughs]
... because you're also changing the lights in here.
I have ... Well, I told ya. I ha- I was gonna monkey with the lights, be productive, and now look.
Well, the, the light back here was all red, now it's green, red and blue.
Yeah.
That looks like strawberry lemonade over there.
Yeah.
And the ones behind you are now flashing so I have to stare at them.
Uh, well I could change those so they're not so annoying. Hold on.
Should I post the video of you with, uh, the police lights in studio? Uh, that were ... They're red and blue everywhere. Every light in here was flashing red and blue.
Did we not ever post that?
I don't think so. Lieutenant Crane and his wife were walking in-
Oh yeah, dude
... and the whole place looked insane.
Yeah, it, uh, kind of hurt my brain, uh, when we were looking at it. So, um, yeah Peaches, I, I think we should post that.
Okay, I'll get it posted-
I think that's a good idea
... on our TikTok at KBARO 101FM. Uh, maybe that should be today's "To Peach Their Own Question." What would be the worst animal to bring back? [laughs]
[laughs] Yeah.
If you could.
That's a good To Peach Their Own Question.
I can only imagine like they actually bring back the dodo bird and kids are kicking the dodo birds, it's a whole viral challenge. You know-
They just ... Yeah, they wipe 'em out again.
People are stupid enough to go up to the bison, the same company is trying to bring back the wooly mammoth. Could you imagine the amount of people that will go, that are, that will go up to wooly mammoths and try to like, you know, pet one?
Yeah.
Or take a picture with it. Especially if they bring them back, 'cause you know that's gonna be a viral thing, to get, to get footage of that wooly mammoth right as it comes back. Somebody is bound to get gored by their tusks.
Oh, I can't wait.
And that person's body would be on their tusks 'cause nobody would wanna go up to the m- the, the mammoth and take it off.
I know. I'm all for it. Bring 'em back.
And just have the skeleton on the t- that'd be pretty metal.
I love how all the animals are starting to attack people. The orcas attacking boats and everything.
Well, 'cause people are hunting them. It's-
I know. So let's bring back wooly mammoths. [laughs]
Yeah.
Let's, let's ... We need some more beasts to attack people. [instrumental music plays]
Okay Victor, I was looking f- uh, further into the whole worst animals to have ever existed.
Yeah.
And, uh-
Love it.
There is the ... Oh, what the heck, how do you say this? Gigantopithecus.
Gigantopithecus.
I was called that in high school.
[laughs]
It's an extinct genus of ape that lived in central to southern China from 2 million to approximately 200,000, 300,000 years ago.
Oh geez.
It is a huge, huge animal. Look at the jaw of that thing.
Yeah, I'm looking at it right now. Uh, the largest primate to ever live. So you know how gorillas are really scary? This thing could be 10 feet tall and weigh between 550 to 1300 pounds. [laughs]
It's in the same family as the orangutans.
Yeah, it looks-
And-
... kinda like an orangutan.
Orangutans are funny 'cause I'm looking at this picture of one just sitting in a tree. Can you imagine looking up and just seeing this giant orange beast just squatted, eating some fruit or whatever?
Oh, I'd be terrified even if it was just a regular old orangutan.
Right.
You know, tho- those guys can rip your arms off.
Oh, th- they're super cool looking, but yeah, from a distance.
Oh, man.
I'd, I'd rather see this, uh ... Imagine a zoo with these extinct animals.
Yeah, look at this-
Um, what's the, uh, short-faced bear? I thi-
Look that graph of it standing next to the average p-... you know, height man.
Right.
You know, like, you think-
It would, it would-
... Big Foot's scary.
It would make Shaq look small, it would make an- the biggest-
Oh, yeah
... human on Earth right now look tiny.
It's horrifying. Yeah, dude.
The, the saber-toothed c-cat. That's another one on this list here, the worst animals to have ever existed, just 'cause they're the most dangerous.
Yep, bring it back. All they want is some treats. You go, "Come here kitty, want some treats? Come on, come..." It's a good boy. You give it some scratches.
You're the first domestic-
Yeah
... saber-toothed cat.
Uh, you could do it with any kind of cat, dude.
What are those cats that, uh, that... Now what's that one guy? I forgot his name. Damon?
Damon, yeah.
From two bald guys?
Yeah, he's got a, a couple... Oh, why can't I... I had it till I started talking, and I don't know why I can't think of what the name of it is. That's a b- you know, it's a smaller, you know, it's s- semi-wild cat.
It's almost like a cheetah. [laughs] Yeah.
It looks kind of... But it's... Ugh, why can't I think of what it is? Oh, it's gonna drive me crazy. But you know, what I've learned, Peaches, like if you ever encounter a mountain lion, you just go, "Come here kitty, want some treats? Are you hungry? You want some treats?"
Are, are you doing like reverse psychology on this whole thing 'cause-
And then they'll come-
... I can imagine like-
... right up to you.
You see a ghost in a hou- on a haunted house, right?
Mm-hmm.
You don't run away, you just run after it. Be as-
[laughs]
... crazy as you can. Like rip your shirt off and just run after the [laughs] the gho- the ghost will have no idea-
Yeah. What's a ghost-
... what to do
... gonna do to you? There, y- you go right through 'em. You know? They can't do nothing to you.
Right.
Yeah, I'm not worried about it. Yeah.
You start, you start walking like a gorilla and just [laughs] go-
Right, I'm a gigantopithecus or whatever they're called.
[laughs]
Don't mess with me, ghost. Get outta here. What are you gonna do?
Uh, what else is there? There's the, uh, titano-noboa. What the heck is that?
I don't know, I've never heard of that one.
How do you say this, the titanoboa?
Titan-
I don't, I don't wanna try to say it.
Oh.
It's T-I-T-A-N-O-B-O-A.
Oh, a big snake.
It's a big snake.
Jeez, 48 feet long and 2,500 pounds. [laughs] Look at the picture of a guy next to it. This couldn't be real.
I- well, how long, how long ago did it live?
Look at this. Look at that little skeleton next to that snake, dude.
It was first discovered in the early 2000s.
Yeah, dude, look at, look at the pictures where they have a guy next to it.
Oh.
Dude, that snake-
I think that's what inspired the Indiana Jones snake, uh, right? Like, the big one?
Could be. Or that movie, Anaconda. Did you see they're making a new one-
Are they-
... with Jack Black and Paul Rudd?
Oh, yeah. I did.
Yeah, [laughs] the trailer looks pretty good. I, I, I like Jack Black.
Well, I, uh, I'll be the bearer of good news here. The titanoboa cannot still exist as it is an extinct genus of large snake that died out about 60 to 58 million years ago.
Ah, come on, bring it back, dude. Bring it back [laughs] like Jurassic Park.
W- what would it eat? Like let's look up-
People.
... the diet.
Clearly, look at it.
It would eat large, aquatic animals.
Okay.
It would eat fish, crocodiles, turtles and birds.
I'm guessing it would eat people too. I mean, I'm just looking at it here.
But did it go in the water?
It must, dude, snakes swim. Like if you go out to the-
That's the, uh, you go up the Palisades. Oh, I remember-
If-
... I was about to jump in that water and as I just, was l- about to literally like, I'm halfway through and I looked left and I saw this snake just go right on in and go under and just start swimming towards the island.
Yeah, was it a rattlesnake?
No, it was, uh, it was like one of those... I'm not gonna say water snake, but it was not-
Okay
... it was not a rattlesnake. If it was a r- rattlesnake, you would've seen me, uh, hike the Palisades in the fastest time ever.
[laughs] Yeah, 'cause they, they found rattlesnakes swimming around in like the Ririe Reservoir, um, other reservoirs around here. Rattlesnakes just swimming. Imagine, remember when you were in that kayak, Peaches?
Oh.
And it tipped over. Imagine if all of a sudden there's a rattlesnake just swimming towards you.
You would see me walk on water.
[laughs]
That's, that's me.
