#200 - EPISODE 200! - 05/16/2025
Checked out some new metal as I got rolling this morning. Not like Korn, you know, not new metal, but new metal. Lorna Shore dropping a new track today called Oblivion. It was pretty good. Sounds like Lorna Shore.
I'll admit I was hoping for, I don't know, some kind of a surprise, something that would mix it up a bit, maybe some clean vocals or a big hook. It's just an outright, you know, assault on your ears in a good way. In a good way. Very heavy song. Very fast.
Very crazy. But I probably need to give it a few more listens as it did not just blow my mind. So check that out again. I'll get a copy. We'll play it on the show.
It sounded like it had a bunch of bad language in it, but, you know, I could have just been hearing things. I wasn't listening intently. Speaking of other new music that, I'm gonna admit didn't totally blow my mind. Let's talk a little bit about sleep token. K.
The new album, I do like it. I don't want you sleep token fans getting crazy at me here because I am one of you. I am a hardcore sleep token fan. Best show I saw last year, sleep token in Boston. No question.
Album of the year, 2023, take me back to Eden. I like the new album, but parts of it are just kind of meh to me. You know, there are some songs on it that are really good. Other songs, I'm just kinda like, alright. So I'm one of those sleep token fans that I would love it if they had something else coming as a surprise.
Not because I'm disappointed. Just because I'm greedy and I want more. And the band's teasing something. We talked this talked about this a few days ago. You know, they had this countdown timer, and now they've got something going on saying the battle continues.
Now I have a theory on what all of these images of battles and things like that are that have been popping up in the videos for their latest latest singles. I think this battle has to do with Vessels' battle with fame. K? Read into the lyrics of the album. Definitely struggling a little bit on the fame front as I would imagine anyone would.
You're not gonna really know what that's like until all of a sudden you're one of the biggest rock bands in the world. And with these guys, they blew up so fast. Not a lot of preparation for that. So it's gotta be stressful. So that's what I think this battle is all about.
And when they say the battle continues, I think it's relating to my prediction earlier in the week that the band is going to be announcing a European tour. K. There's been a countdown that was directed at people in, Germany, Austria, and somewhere else. Isn't it obvious? I I don't know where people get the, new music theory from.
You know? Oh, is this potentially a double album? You know, they've got, lyrics on Apple Music and Spotify with punctuation errors and things like that. Look through lyrics from other bands. This happens on Spotify and Apple.
I don't know if this is intentional, but my guess still remains just this simply being a european tour announcement you know people get really excited about things but how many times have we seen a band pumping up oh, big thing coming. Countdown. Alright. And then it ends up being a merch drop. What if that's what this is?
A merch drop. Overpriced merch that's only available to people in Germany, Austria, etcetera. We'll find out. I don't know, when that countdown timer was going to end. And, again, it was something that you could only see in other countries.
So I'm not seeing any updates on the sleep token subreddit, but as I get more news, I'll let you know. I hope it's something exciting. I just you know, I've seen bands do this enough times that where they just barely dropped an album. I can't imagine that so quick they'd get back to suddenly dropping new music. It it's gotta be tour dates.
If it's a merch drop, that would be really sad. Yeah. Then the fans might actually lose their minds. I'm sure plenty will still get upset that they thought there was a double album coming, and it ends up just being a tour announcement. But, you know, there are people in other places aside from The US.
The band does need to go play some shows for them, so that's my prediction. We'll see how it goes. Now let's take a quick break, and then we'll get, we'll get pumped to bring you some more content. Alright? Hang on.
Let's talk a little bit about advertising. You know, when I first got started in radio, the most popular complaint about radio was, oh, it's got ads. Too many ads. And this was during a time of transition where you started seeing other entertainment options pop up where you could check out music without ads. Like back in the day when YouTube was new, I don't remember there being ads.
That that became a thing fairly quickly, obviously, but it's not anything like today, you know, where you're just relentlessly pummeled with ads unless you pay for YouTube premium, which I do not. And there are other platforms, which I do pay for, and I still get ads. Things like Spotify. Alright? I use Spotify as a tool.
It's simply easy to look up new music on it, check it out, and go, okay. Should we play any of these new songs on the radio? You know, rather than me, like, download them, unzip the file. The radio industry sometimes doesn't make getting the songs very easy. It it's kinda ridiculous with how easy it is to get music, how hard it is sometimes for me to get my hands on a file.
But, anyway, I've seen an increase across all platforms with advertising in recent years because it's tough for them to make money. You know, you'd think with the just teeny tiny royalties that these companies are paying to artists. Yeah. They can afford to maybe tone down the advertising, but, you know, if you listen to podcasts on Spotify, you can have their most premium subscription. It doesn't matter.
You will still be pummeled with ads. I I mean, at the beginning of a recent last podcast episode I was checking out, I think there was, like, five minutes of ads at the beginning at least. Anyway, Netflix adding more ads in 2026. I think we're just gonna keep seeing this with all platforms. My biggest prediction has been ads on Spotify even with a, premium account.
Ads during music, I should say, because you you will get those ads again during podcasts and things like that. And they're inserted ads, you know, basically the same as radio where they got a commercial stop set that gets triggered. Netflix is gonna be adding, AI, generative AI ads that are interactive and will start popping up in the middle of programs. So if it's anything like YouTube, what can he expect commercials, like, every five minutes? I love YouTube, but, man, watching it on a TV, it is so annoying.
The ads they pummel you with. And, yeah, you can skip some of them for now. I bet that goes away too because why as an advertiser would you pay who knows how much money to have an ad that in five seconds of its starting can be skipped I I've never understood that one because who isn't skipping the ads when they give you the option? Alright? You skip the ads.
Right? Unless you're only half paying attention like, oh, it's a good time to go to the bathroom. I guess I'll be back. And then you let the ads just run. So anyway, interactive generative AI ads, and people love AI.
Well, a a lot of people do, but a lot of people really hate it. Yeah. It'll be interesting to see in the next few years, you know, what kind of advertising is pummeling us across every imaginable platform. So it has been good for radio. People don't complain about radio ads anymore.
I mean, we only give you ads every half hour. You know, half hour. We're not like the big market radio stations where you get a half hour of ads every hour. Alright. Let's take a look at some radio related news, and it won't be that boring.
Come on. I know I complain about radio a lot, but I'm not gonna do that right now. Instead, I'm gonna complain about the rock and roll hall of fame. Yeah. Haven't complained about that in a while.
So I was reading an article from Jacob's media where they were talking about the rock and roll hall of fame's most egregious snub yet. Now we all know the rock and roll hall of fame should be called the music hall of fame. You know, they've got a lot of different, pop artists and things in there. And then there are tons of bands, rock bands that you would think, okay, no brainer. Put them in.
Like sound garden, for example, or Alice in chains. You know, I'm sorry. We gotta make sure we get, I don't know. I can't think of an example of a pop artist, but yeah. Who could be more egregious to snub than sound garden?
Well, apparently comedian John Mulaney says weird Al Yankovic. And I think I would have to agree. Weird Al definitely rocks. Now not every song he puts out is just a straight up rock song, but Weird Al rocks. And I'll bet Weird Al has introduced more young people to new music than pretty much any other artist out there.
Right? Because he'll do these fun covers of so many different genres of music, and he's just such a a good dude on top of that. Who doesn't love Weird Al? Who is, by the way, gonna be in Idaho Falls later this year. I have gotta go to the show.
When is that show? Hang on here. Hang up. There are so many shows coming to the area that I can't really keep track, which is not a bad problem to have. Alright.
Let's see here. Events upcoming. I mean, it's gotta be somewhat soon. Right? No.
Not till August. August eighth. Weird Al. And last I checked, they were basically, out of tickets, so I should probably get on picking up some of those. Yeah.
Because I I ain't gonna miss Weird Al. No way. I have been a Weird Al fan since I was a little kid. Yeah. There's only a handful of tickets left.
I better get on this. Anyway yeah. What's up, rock and roll hall of fame? Why not Weird Al? He's put out, a few original songs for the most part covers, but, I mean, Weird Al just brings such joy to everyone.
So many bands have said they felt like they made it after Weird Al did a parody of their song, like Nirvana. Like, holy cow. We've made it. Weird Al covered you know, smells like teen spirit. This is crazy.
Anyway, I don't have a lot of hope for the rock and roll hall of fame, quickly getting to giving, you know, accolades to people like Weird Al or Soundgarden, but I'm sure they will eventually. And I'd still go check out the rock and roll hall of fame. Even if, you know, every year when they do their announcements, it's like, oh, okay. Woo hoo. It's never exciting, But yeah.
Yeah. Go see weird out live in Idaho Falls. That'll be a lot of fun. There are still a handful of tickets available, but you better get on it. It's a Friday night too.
October 8, Mountain America Center should be sweet. Jack Black and I Feel Alive from the Minecraft movie. Still need to check that out. I think it's available on demand now. Not sure if it's on any, like, streaming platform where you can watch it with subscription, but think you can rent it from home.
I don't know, though. I might feel weird sitting around watching a Minecraft movie without my kids around. I got plenty of other stuff to watch, Black Mirror and all these depressing shows that I've got lined up in the queue that I just can't bring myself to watch recently. Almost went for Requiem for a Dream again, but watched about two minutes and was like, nah. Not mentally there.
Sucks. I like depressing movies, but I gotta be in the right, you know, frame of mind to deal with that. And apparently, I'm not. Alright. As I was scrolling Facebook this morning, I keep seeing images and video pop up of this Nottoway Plantation in Louisiana burning to the ground.
Guess this happened yesterday. According to one of the articles I was reading, this was the largest remaining antebellum mansion in the South. Alright. You know, these type of, you know, locations are so weird to me. I can understand, you know, having them so that people can visit them like a museum, and we can have discussions about history and things like that.
The Nottoway Mansion was built by slaves. You know, it's like 53,000 square feet. It's just ridiculously grandiose, and I don't think it was used as a museum. It was used as an event center and resort. Very popular place for weddings.
And that is just so weird to me. Why would you want to get married at a plantation? You know, the the with this just horrible history. Why on earth would you want your big special day with that special someone to be held at a plantation? Now I get, okay, the the house is fancy.
The grounds are really nice, but that is just so crazy to me. So weird. And they called it a resort in an article I was looking at here. So I would assume people, like, vacation there. Hey, guy.
Let's go crash out at the, the plantation. Oh, I don't know. To me, it's like staying in, I don't know what a house where there were, you know, horrific murders or something like that. I I it just doesn't sound great to me. So, anyway, looks like they're planning on rebuilding it.
Alright. Well, make it into a museum. K? Make it an educational tool. I mean, I I guess these people that own these places have to make some money somehow, but you would think if it's the biggest Antebellum mansion in the South, people would come visit.
You know, they wanna see the local attractions. I don't know. Just throwing it out there for, hey. Come have a sleepover or a wedding. Just seems weird.
Anyway so that's what's in the news today in, fire news. We'll be back in a minute. I haven't been to the movies in a long time. I think I might have to go this weekend. I gotta go check out some some awesome final destination movie.
Now I didn't have a lot of hope for this movie. I don't know if you've seen the entire series of the final destination movies. First one's, you know, decent. Second one, I think a a pretty well renowned and beloved horror movie. And then after that, they go downhill pretty fast.
But Final Destination two, definitely one of my favorite horror movies. It's just so fun. I love the, over the top death. You know, that's what Final Destination was all about. Very creative and fun death scenes.
The type that when you're in the theater, they catch you by surprise and you cheer. You know, it's not very often you're gonna be cheering for death, but it's perfectly appropriate at a Final Destination movie. And it's got great reviews so far on Rotten Tomatoes, the new movie Final Destination Bloodlines. I just pulled up a random review here. Says brutal, bonkers, and brilliant, sort of.
Alright. I mean, we're not expecting perfection here from Final Destination. But they, said here it's a popcorn drenched, viscera slicked ballet of doom that remembers exactly why you fell in love with the franchise in the first place. That's all I need to hear to go check out this movie. Alright?
So they say after a fourteen year hiatus, Final Destination Bloodlines doesn't just dust off the old playbook. It sets it on fire, dances on the ashes, and serves up a glossy, gory generational curse with a side of stylish mayhem. And then they start getting into, you know, what the movie's about, and I don't wanna know. But that's fun and exciting because I did rewatch again the entire series a while back, and it was, you know, okay. It was okay.
But from movie three onward, I mean, it plummeted downhill very quickly after that second movie. So maybe I'll go to the movies this weekend. Oh, I don't know. I don't really have a lot of time. We're very busy this weekend as I mentioned earlier, but still, I'm gonna have to check this out.
And I think theater is where it's at. Alright. Apparently, it's not only the Sleep Token camp with a bunch of rumors flying around. Let's talk about Rockstar Games. You know, they've definitely been in the news a bit with the second trailer for GTA six dropping last week.
Was last week. Right? Maybe the week before? Doesn't matter. It's awesome.
Go check it out if you haven't seen it. So just yesterday, I was seeing oh, you know, that that release date of May twenty sixth of next year. That still might not happen. Blah blah blah. Well, Rockstar and Take Two Games put out some more information on GTA six, said it has cost over a billion dollars to produce this game, has been in development since 02/2018 and in full production since 2020.
They're expecting the game to exceed players' expectations and are absolutely confident about the 05/26/2026 release date. So try to stay optimistic and hopeful, people. I know with the current state of the world and the constant disappointments that seem to come your way the older you get, it's easy to be a naysayer. But I'm telling you it's better for your brain to stay optimistic. So I'm hopeful of a May 26 release date.
And as for exceeding players' expectations, I'm very confident in that one. Red Dead two certainly exceeded my expectations. I was playing it last night because, apparently, I'm a loser who can't do anything except play Red Dead when I have all kinds of other things I could be doing with my time, like cleaning up the, cat treat mess that little Lucy made in the middle of the night a couple nights ago. Have I busted out the vacuum? No.
No. I have not. Okay. In other rock star rumors because yeah. Yeah.
Not just GTA six. Talking about Red Dead. Rumors of a Red Dead Redemption two p s five version swirling again. I also saw rumors about Max Payne coming back, rumors of Red Dead two on the Nintendo Switch two. Now I hope these rumors are true because I have red dead two on my PC and it's amazing.
It's so amazing. The graphics, I mean, are just mind boggling. But I much prefer sitting in front of my TV playing Red Dead than my computer. So this would be great so I can sit in front of my TV, start the game over again, and waste even more of my life. Alright?
It brings me a little bit of joy. It's very soothing when I'm feeling, like, you know, down or anxious, stressed out, frustrated, whatever. Any kind of a negative mood, fire up Red Dead. And I do it when I'm in a good mood too, k. It's not like, dude, you play it all the time.
Are you just constantly depressed? No. I'm, you know, only sometimes depressed. If you're constantly depressed, you gotta get in and get some, get some therapy or something like that. Anyway, exciting news if you're a fan of Rockstar games in general.
I'd be stoked to see, again, PS five version of Red Dead two, and I am looking forward to nothing in entertainment more than GTA six. I wish we didn't have to wait a year, but, you know, as you get older, those years just start flying by. Gonna be dead before I know it. Okay. Sorry.
That's just what happens when you get older. Eventually, it's coming for all of us. I am in a good mood today, by the way. I don't wanna throw people off here. I've had two nights of decent sleep in a row, and that never happened.
So it might get weird around here. Alright? We'll be back in a few with freak news and more. Don't go anywhere. Where to begin with freak news?
I guess we'll talk about burning the biscuits. Don't do it. At least not if you have a psychotic manager at the Popeye's restaurant you work at. Yeah. This guy shot his coworker over burnt biscuits.
Yep. You might have a bad boss, but when's the last time you screwed up a little bit and they just shot you? Jeez. Well, shot him, twice at point blank range, and this is not cool. He shot him in the groin.
Come on. You're gonna shoot your coworker over burnt biscuits. Why not like the foot or something like that? You don't deserve to be shot in the groin over burnt biscuits. Messed up.
I think he's gonna be okay. They did say he was in life threatening condition with critical injuries, but, you know, the article's a few days old with no updates about the person passing away. Jeez. Just burnt biscuits. Alright.
Well, only type of, assault I have to worry from Jade. You know, it's more gas than than physical. Sometimes it feels like I get punched in the face by him when he drops one of those bombs in the studio, but no. It hasn't literally happened, so we're okay. Alright.
Let's talk about the woes of Ju Eisen. She's a 39 year old Instagram influencer. She's got it so rough. She's like, I I can only fly first class now. Not because of her money.
She's like, I'm so hot. Men in economy won't stop staring at me. But the dudes in first class ain't staring at you, as well. Come on now. Alright.
I'm looking at a picture of her here. She's, I don't know, your average Instagram influencer. I don't think she's so hot that you just couldn't stop staring when you're on an airplane. Dudes, don't just stare at people. K?
Even if you're like, wow. Oh my gosh. Look at her. Oh, you can't just stare. K?
I think it's very easy for guys to give women the creeps. And even if they do their best to not be a weirdo. Like, you you never know. Some dumb little thing you've done. They could be like, that guy's a creep.
If you're just staring at them, that that that'll make them uncomfortable. K? Then they end up having to fly first class every time. Alright. Oh, good for her.
Not a problem I gotta deal with. If people are staring at me, I just assume they're like, that guy's weird looking or they recognize me. Yeah. One or the other. They could recognize me, but, like, oh, that guy's weird looking.
Victor Wilt. Yeah. Love for that guy. Wouldn't surprise me at all. Okay.
What else do we have here? There are so many air airplane related issues going on. I haven't really dove into this, but, I'm glad I don't have any flights booked right now. You may have heard about the problems at the Newark Airport. Like, they need to hire some people.
We're having major problems with planes being able to contact air traffic control. At the Denver Airport yesterday, 20 pilots were unable to reach air traffic control for six minutes while trying to land. And I think some of my family members, my brother, sister, and aunt, might be flying through Denver here in, like, two weeks to come visit. I I hope not. Jeez.
Can we get this under control? Ugh. It just sucks that everything is melting down. Should be able to take a flight. We went, like, fifteen years with no, like, air crashes, in The US or something like that.
No major incidents. A very long time. Now it's like every single day, plane crashes, pilots can't contact the airport. It's frightening. Let's get that fixed.
And finally, here's a sad one for you dudes. Men die of a broken heart more often than women. Yeah. You can die of a broken heart. They call it broken heart syndrome.
The technical term for it is takka tsubo cardiomyopathy. That was fun to try to say. Should've practiced that. Also known as broken heart syndrome is brought on by physical or emotional stress and can affect people suffering from a traumatic traumatic event like the death of a loved one or divorce. If you go through a traumatic event, please talk to people.
Get some help. You know how crushing being depressed can be? Like, there's a black cloud hanging over everything. You can physically feel it. Yeah.
Might kill you dead. K. Get some help, especially if you're a dude, and dudes don't like to get help. They're dumb. I'm one of you.
Oh, I'm not feeling well. It'll be fine. No. You know, go go talk with your doc. Alright?
If you got any issues going on, just get them checked. Just get it checked out because you never know what might be going on. And, again, if you're you're dealing with, a broken heart, you gotta call some friends, some homies, or a hotline, or or something. That's a just terribly sad way to go. Alright.
Anyway, just keeping it bright at the end of freak news. Don't worry. I got more fun stories. I just started getting pummeled by plane crashes and dudes dying. So I figured I'd share it with you because I'm I'm fun like that.
Alright. Alright. We'll we'll lighten things up. Welcome to the show, Peaches. What's up, dude?
Welcome to the Peach Field. Happy Friday. Peach Field. Alright. Well Dude, how many sparkling waters do you want?
Well, see, what happens here is I'll bring in usually, like, two. And then I'll drink one, and I'll leave one. And then the next day, I bring in two. Drink one, leave one. And so now I've got a stockpile.
I'm up to, three cans there. We just need a mini fridge in here. Mini fridge would be okay. I mean, this room stays pretty cold, so that's why I keep them in here. My office is like a a sauna.
Oh. So Don't get me started on the Cannonball Studio. I hate that place. Cannonball Studio is a cooker. I've I've been in there many times.
That used to be the, production studio. When I was the production assistant, I I'd sit in there and roast. The worst was the East Idaho News bathroom. Well, you told me about the East Idaho News bathroom the other day. What was going on over there?
The heater was on full blast, and I'm sitting there, like, I feel like I'm in a sauna. I think that was the day after the Doug Stanhope show that that was going on. And I was, like, all tired and disheveled and feeling terrible. I was so glad you warned me to not go down there because there's nothing worse than when you're a little bit, out of whack being just cooked in a hot room. Part of me really wanted to just not flush and just walk out and just have the heater on full blast.
That's messed up, Peter. So they walk in woah. That's messed up and disgusting. Disgusting. It's funny that, the minute everyone starts walking in at eight, you know, Katie bursts in the room all excited.
I told you. We've been arguing about this for two days now here in the building. What's going on with sleep token? And that was actually my first break of the show today was talking about the new sleep token rumors because of that image, the battle must continue or whatever that popped up. And to me, I also I I see where both of you guys are coming from.
I I mostly think you're right though that it is going to be just some European tour after seeing the, it was only available the countdown clock was only available in Germany, Austria, other countries over there, and they don't have any European dates. Exactly. It it's gotta be tour dates. I just can't imagine when they dropped an album a week ago, all of a sudden they're gonna put out more new music. It just doesn't make sense.
Like Silverstein, they're dropping two albums this year, but, like, they announced them together and they're coming out way different dates, like, way long after the other one. Yeah. Like, the first one came out in February. The second one comes out in September, I think. Yeah.
I just think that they, you know, need to continue riding the wave of trying to promote this new album for right now. I can't imagine them moving on to something else. And, you know, I follow the sleep token groups and subreddits. So I even though I'm not a guy who sits there and listens to lyrics a lot, I've seen the very, very in-depth analysis of the lyrics on this new album. And a lot of it seems to be about the band's struggles with all of a sudden being massively successful.
So what type of battle could there be for Sleep Token? Oh, we gotta play more shows and make more millions of dollars. Dude, they they have take over I had talked about this on the show yesterday. They have taken over hottopic.com. Have they?
Oh, every single metal t shirt, Sleep Token. First, like, six rows. Whole bunch of different shirts. There's one for, like, each song on the new album. It's it's crazy.
Well, it's kinda like when Ghost blew up. You know, Ghost had cool merch. Sleep Token's merch is pretty cool. And if you can get fans to buy merch, I don't blame these bands for putting out 10,000,000,000 pieces of merch and trying to make as much money as possible. I do get annoyed when I'll admit.
I like, I talked about the Sleep Token album earlier. I like it. You know, I'm a huge Sleep Token fan. You know that. Yeah.
Of course. But it's I would call it an okay album. That was a album? There are some songs on it. Excellent.
Excellent songs. There's other songs that are meh. You know? So it's no take me back to Eden. You know?
And I I know that will make some Sleep Token fans mad. But, again, I've listened to it a lot of times now, and it's just kinda okay. And I get a little annoyed with the, oh, fame's so rough. I don't know. I'm sure fame is rough.
You've never been famous. I've never been famous. But To that level, no. You know, when when you got people struggling to buy groceries and, put a roof over their heads, you don't wanna see your favorite artist whining about how rough it is to be making millions of dollars. Could you imagine though, like, you have to go somewhere new, hide who you are, put on the paint, put on the costume, go on stage, bake bake on the stage with the lights on you, and then, like, everyone expects it to be like an a plus performance.
And they put on an a plus performance. And those guys, they don't have to deal with fame like somebody like Leonardo DiCaprio because because people don't know what they look like. You know? You're not gonna know if Sleep Pilgrim was walking around town. They also have to travel to all these different places, like, once, like, per day.
They're they're in a new city. Yeah. I could see it. They're they're cooped up on a bus. Dude, being a on a on a tour, being in a band, it's not all fun and games and yay.
It it's it's a rough life. How much black paint did those guys go through? A lot. But still, that'd be like me just crying about, oh, I have to sit in this nice box and talk to everybody. I've got it so rough.
Oh. No. I cried to deal with Jade. Yeah. Nobody wants to hear that, Peaches.
There's out. There are people out there roofing and things like that. Oh, yeah. Yeah. No kidding.
Kay Bear, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this? This is Gary. Gary.
You doing today? Doing great. What's up, man? You know what? For once, I agree with you about Sleep Token.
We should just we have to listen to them again because they're whining too much. Now listen. We're gonna listen to them all the time because they're the biggest band in rock. I still love that band. But I I forgive you for that too.
But It must come from back when I was a teenager. You know, I was in the metal scene, and then there was Jade in the emo scene. And the whiny emo songs, I just couldn't stand them when I was a kid. I'm like, stop crying. Well, there's different levels, Victor, from Jade's band to Sleep Token.
That's like comparing me to LeBron James when it comes to basketball. Okay. Who's a massive whiny emo band? Just name one. I mean, there's by Chemical Romance.
There's Okay. Alright. Mulligan sound that sounds pretty whiny. Yeah. Like dashboard confessional.
Mhmm. Alright? I just as a teenager, that was not my type of jam. I don't wanna hear dudes whining when I was a teenager. Alright?
And I get it. We all got things we go through that are rough peaches. We all have feelings. You know? I'm a I'm a sensitive boy, but I ain't gonna cry about it.
Man up. Oh, sorry. Man up, vessel. But what if, like, for the next album, they're like, that's it. Like, we're gonna go back to the whole metal thing, and they just full on.
And it's not a heavy album. It's not. It's not a heavy album. It's the least metal. If they go they go full metal again, then, you know, I'll give them a second chance.
You know? I again, I think the album is good. It's not a bad album. It's just not up to par with their other albums in my opinion. I it's still good.
That's okay. But to complain that it's tough, you know, it's just it is it is it is rough. And my wife's a huge fan. I just am not. So I was I was on par with you guys for a minute.
You're like, you know what? I don't know. But you guys have a wonderful day. Well and, clearly, these guys are smarter than me because I've read what all the ladies out there are saying about the lyrics to this new album. They are swooning and so yeah.
You know, the emo bands back in the day definitely got a lot more chicks than the metal bands. K? Alright. Yeah. I'm not, I'm not saying this isn't a smart move on their part.
It yeah. I just don't personally connect with it like the younger women seem to. They're making music for the book talk crowd. That's for sure. There you go.
There you go. Hey. Well, they're doing better than any of us and all of us together. So Yeah. They're they're crushing it.
Yeah. What if they what if they come out like a diss album? And they're like, oh, you hate our band. I'm making millions. I could probably take your girl away from you type of thing.
Then they turned into Ronnie Radke, another guy who has you know, I've changed my tune on because he's gotten to be so annoying. It just doesn't stop. So Can I tell you? It's always the small guys. Small man syndrome, man.
Ronnie's about, like, five I I at least we stood next to him in Pocatello that one time. He's, like, five six. Yeah. He's probably about my height or something like that. Shorter than you.
You think he was shorter than me? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. I was like, this is it?
What? Like Well, Gary, I hope you have an awesome weekend, man. You know, I'm going to, and you guys do the same. We're going down to Vegas next week and go watch, the hinder drowning pool and saliva for free on Fremont Street. So I saw that pop up on Facebook.
Those, free Fremont shows are a lot of fun. Just don't get arrested on Fremont Street. I've heard of it happening to people. I'm gonna do my best. He he looked at me when he said that, Gary.
So Maybe there's another story there we need to hear. Maybe someday. Maybe someday. Alright, gentlemen. Have a good one, Gary.
Peace. You too. Alright. Now that I've, made all of the Sleep Token fans, Alyssa came here mad. Again, it's a good album.
It's good. You know? I agree with you. It's not the best, but, I mean It's like Ghost's new album. It's a good album.
I'm telling you, GTA six might be a letdown to our people. I'm telling you, like, the way that we all carry GTA five and it's taken twelve years for this game to come out, there's gonna be people that are gonna immediately come out of the woodwork and go, hot take, it's not that great. Oh, yeah. That that'll for sure happen. I'll I'll wait and pass my real judgment on it, but I have been a little bit let down in the last few weeks.
There's already Ghost's new album, I I don't think is their best. It's good. It's good, but it it doesn't compare to some of their other albums. There's already people saying they don't like the main characters of GTA six. I gotta play as a woman.
Oh, no. Jeez. Oh, no. Have you ever played the last of us part two? Alright.
Yeah. But people hate it. Yeah. Idiots hate it. People who don't understand good storytelling.
Game's a masterpiece, and you play as a woman the entire game. Multiple women, actually. It's a bit fantastic game. Maybe they maybe they keep killing the character. Go take that.
Take that. Oh, god. Some dudes, man, are just idiots. What if they have a hat? It says, like, keep woman characters out of my game or something like that?
They probably will. Probably will. I just gave them an idea. These guys have no idea how to pick up chicks. They're just angry, and it's like, no.
It's your own fault you can't get a girlfriend because you're acting like a loser. They're on Reddit, r slash advice. Why can't I get a girl? Yeah. Stop listening to Andrew Tate, dude.
Maybe try being nice to women. He's of the past. You think so? Oh, yeah. Well, who's who are the other idiots that are influencing young guys?
I don't know. I don't well, good. I'm glad you don't know, Peaches, because that means you ain't watching them. Getting bad advice. Andrew Tate would just pop up with the most out of pocket things he would say on my Instagram reels, and I would just share those with my friends.
That's about it. Don't share that content, Peaches? It's garbage. I find it like the, Be A Man videos they send you. Yeah.
But Be A Man's clearly making fun of guys like Andrew Tate. Be a man is is like, what's the word I'm looking for here? Anyway, this has been a long break. Yeah. You should probably bail on it.
But, yeah. You got traffic school soon anyway. I know. It's coming up here in about twenty minutes, so everybody get those questions ready. Hi.
I'm Victor Wilton. I'm here to help. This time to help you ladies. Alright. Almost did this break earlier, but we got traffic school started a little bit early.
So we've we've been giving out a lot of advice recently. Peaches and I digging into the advice subreddit and things like that, and we tend to be throwing advice at the dudes. Every once in a while, gotta throw some advice at the ladies or at least maybe cause I haven't read through these responses. The thread was men. What's something women don't realize is a turnoff.
And I figured we'd take a look at this. Any appropriate answers for air? And I pass my judgment on them. See if I agree. Alright.
Eating all the loaded nachos and leaving only the empty ones like just chips. Alright. It's not the type of response I was expecting but I probably should have. Yeah. If you're sharing nachos, come on.
You gotta, this goes for guys and and the gals. You got to share share the chips with the cheese. Come on. All right. Let's see if we get, any kind of reasonable responses here.
Pretending you are dumb. All right. There's being dumb and then there's pretending you're dumb. Do people really pretend to be dumb? Like there have been occasions where somebody's asking some kind of a pop culture question and I'll act like I don't know the answer because I don't wanna seem like a nerd or something.
I don't know if that's pretending to be dumb, but I'm telling you, at at least from my personal experience and inside of my own mind, I like, being around smart people. So pretending you are dumb. If I knew you were smart, I'd just be like, why? Why? Because, if you were dumb, I try to hang around people who are smarter than me.
Yeah. Why? I don't know. I don't wanna feel dumb. But you learn a lot from intelligent people.
So I think if you were pretending you were dumb, just the dumb itself would be some kind of a turnoff. Alright. What else do we have here? I need someone who can handle me. Yeah.
That that could be, bit of a red flag. Now it's like, you know, dudes who are like, I can't help it. I just say what I feel. Like, nah. You you can, hold back.
You don't have to spout off with every dumb thing that pops into your head. Take a minute, ponder, and unleash reasonable thoughts. Alright? You don't have to say everything that comes to mind. Alright.
The constant unending critiques of everything about you, how you dress, what you could be doing better. Yeah. That would be a turnoff. Have you ever had someone who's very critical of you? I have Been in a relationship where I I heard a lot of insults.
It doesn't make you feel very good. Why are you with me if you feel that way? What? Yeah. I mean, again, back to you don't have to say everything that comes to mind.
If it's an insult yeah. You know, try to not critique your partner's appearance. That's about as rude as it gets. And it's confusing. Alright?
It leaves that person in a state where they don't know what to think. It's terrible. Pretty much all these so far, this is stuff that goes for guys and girls. Alright. Comparing us to an ex in any way.
Yeah. See, but I think that goes both ways too. I would think that the ladies would be just as irritated by that as guys. Unless you're like the most confident person ever, I guess. I mean, nobody tends to wanna hear about somebody else's ex.
Right? You don't wanna think about that. Let's see. Trashing someone else? Your roommate might suck, but if that's all you talk about it okay.
What yeah. If somebody all they do is trash people, that gets annoying. It's like, do you have anything positive to say? Sure. Alright.
Well, I intended to, you know, give advice to the ladies here, but this is just going at to everybody in general. People who say I hate drama and then start drama. Oh, yeah. Drama. At what age does drama become like just so stupid?
Stop. Stop already. I mean that that had to be you would hope when you're like a teenager. That's when you should realize like this drama's a waste of time. Once you get out of high school, that minute you graduate and realize that all of the high school drama meant absolutely nothing, that's when you should realize like, oh yeah.
There's no reason for this crap. And then when somebody's around who's just endless drama, give them the boot. Get them out of here. Alright. Refusing to take accountability.
Again, these are all all things that apply to everybody. So as is typical on Reddit, often enough, big fail of a thread. We'll be back. Thanks again to Hardy for sending us that action figure of Jim Bob that we got sitting here in the studio. Been getting some weird stuff from various artists.
I didn't talk about this on the air. But, the other day, I'm sitting in my office doing tedious work like I always do, and I'm I'm very busy working on the outlaw radio station and things like that. So I just chilling, and, Melissa and Maddie from down the hall show up. Or was it was Melissa and Star maybe. Yeah.
I don't remember. You know my memory. Anyway, we've got this big, huge box. Clearly, a big heavy box. It's oblong shaped, you know, long rectangle.
Like, what on earth could that possibly be? You know, it wasn't like a guitar or something. We've had, you know, guitars delivered, and we've had t shirts or this and that. Generally, if you get something from a band, it's a t shirt. This was not that.
Obviously, it weighed a ton. So we opened up the box, and it was a present for the country station that, you know, I'm in charge of handling the music on, one zero five the hawk. It was a one zero five the hawk brand. Yeah. Like, you know, out on the ranch, big metal stick that you put in fire and, you know, brand animals with.
It was that. For the hawk, it had a hawk on the the actual brand. This thing was nice too. Had, you know, the station, name on the handle, the call letters. It was awesome.
A big wooden box. Might have been the fanciest thing we've ever got from an artist. Now the only thing is what do we do with it? Then we got this brand. I mean, we talked about Fear Factor coming back to TV a few days ago.
I think we could really up our promotions game. Now we don't have a Kaibear brand, but we we could brand people with the hawk. What kind of a prize would you have to have up for grabs to be willing to accept being branded with a, one zero five the hawk brand just we stick it in the hot coals? I don't think that the company lawyers would allow us to do that type of, giveaway, but it's the only place my brain went with what are we gonna do with this. I don't have a cow.
Alright. Anyway, just wanna let you know we're getting weird stuff in the mail. If you have anything weird you need to get rid of, I guess this is a good place for it, the Kay Bears studio. Though I did, you know, give Justin at the hawk, the the brand and was like, here here you go, buddy. Here's a present.
So it it lives in the Hawk studio. Tip. Don't anger Justin. Justin, not the guy to mess with. Because even if he doesn't put it in hot coals, that thing, you wanna talk about a a melee weapon, it's gonna do some serious damage.
This thing was straight up hardcore metal. The most metal country related thing I've ever seen. It was awesome. Alright. Everybody, I guess it's time for me to leave.
Time for me to get on out of here, but I'll be back at noon for the noon hour of madness and mayhem. Hope to see you tomorrow at either the farmer's market, the classy prom, or Sunday at the Seether Show. Busy weekend ahead. So I better get to work on all the, other 10,000,000,000 things I need to get done. Bye bye.
