The Viktor Wilt Show

Good morning. How's it going? What's up? It's me. It's Viktor Wilt.

I am here, and, sorry that I missed out on the metal morning wake up call. I, you know, shouldn't turn around to run back home when I forget something when I'm already, you know, needing to just get here to be on time as quickly as possible. But today is the Eastern Idaho State Fair food judging day, and I forgot my food storage containers. You know, no sense letting food go to waste because it's impossible to eat all of the food that we have to sample at the fair. And, yeah, I feel bad just throwing it away.

So you bring containers and then you bring home piles of fair food. So I had to go back and get some, I guess it's not Tupperware because it's made out of glass, but you know what I'm saying. What's happening? How's your morning going? I hope it's pretty amazing so far.

Nothing more amazing than a Thursday morning at this hour. I'm I'm actually feeling pretty amazing. Now I'm not like 100%, but compared to the last 2 days, at least I feel like, you know, the world is real. I don't know about you, but, I don't do well on 3 hours of sleep at night. I very quickly start feeling like I'm living on another planet.

So, yeah, it was good to get a little bit of rest in in the last 24 hours. Apparently, I needed to sleep. I went home yesterday after the morning show. I had some quick lunch, and then I was like, alright. Let's see if I can get a little nap in.

It was about noon. Yeah. I woke up at, like, 5. I was like, woah. Okay.

That was a a little nap, and then I stayed up for a few hours. And, you know, about 9 o'clock, maybe a little after, I was out again till this morning. So, yeah, I got a little bit of rest, and hopefully it was enough to keep me on fire today. We'll see. Lot to do.

I gotta catch up on some things as well. The on demand version of the show, I have been doing a horrible job with posting that this week. I have not posted it this week because I've been so busy. So I'm I'm hoping prior to going to the fair, I can at least get a couple of those episodes up. I'm also gonna be posting the full chat that peaches and I had with Lou Brutus on Tuesday as a bonus episode of my show.

I mean, it technically happened during the lunch hour, but I'm going to claim it. Alright? Sorry, peaches. Anyway, we're here. We're doing our thing.

We're waking up. And since I failed to do the metal morning wake up call at the proper time because I had to go get my glassware. So we've got the holiday weekend coming up, which means a lot of travel going on. By the way, at the intersection of I not I twenty, highway 20 and, Fremont, where I I believe it's where, the listener just told me, what road. I think it might be memorial or something that turns into Fremont.

Anyway, there's a really bad accident, so please try to avoid that area. Or if you're heading into that area, please be cautious. With the upcoming weekend of travel going on, you know, please please try to exercise extra caution on the roadway. Try to also be a decent passenger if you're traveling by air. You know, there's gonna be a lot of people taking flights to other places, like my girlfriend taking a flight here to east Idaho to hang out for the weekend.

Gonna be amazing. And I'd hate to see her have to deal with something like, you know, somebody changing their baby's diaper right next to her on the flight. Can you imagine? You're on a dealing with air travel can be aggravating enough. But then imagine somebody just starts changing their baby's diaper, their poopy diaper right there on the seat.

I know those bathrooms are cramped, and I don't know what you do as far as how to change a baby's diaper in a, you know, cramped airport bathroom, but there's gotta be a way to do it. Alright? Don't just do it in the middle of the plane like somebody did on a recent flight. Somebody was complaining about this on Reddit. Yeah.

If you've ever had a baby, sometimes baby diaper, it smells horrific. K? Now you as a parent are required to be subjected to that. Everyone else in existence is not. K?

I know it's just a part of life that babies poo in diapers, but still, there are plenty of people who've already had to go through that and shouldn't have to suffer through it, anymore. They they paid their dues. Also, those who have yet to experience it, let them have their time when that time comes. And, amazingly, I thought this was gonna be an article where somebody complained about somebody changing their baby's diaper in the middle of a plane, then the flight had to be grounded after the parent became completely unhinged and got in a fight. No.

They they actually were, like, oh, sorry. I will go to the bathroom. When's the last time there was a flight attendant tells passenger to stop doing blank and the article didn't end with, you know, passenger attacks flight attendant or something like that? Now I also gotta point out aside from the smell, imagine that that was going to be your seat as a passenger on the next flight. Yeah.

It it's just gross. K. It's unsanitary. The next person on that plane should not have to sit in the seat that could potentially have remnants of Dookie. I I know this is kinda gross to think about at this hour or if you have upcoming travel.

I'm sorry. You never know what happened on the flight before you, do you? And they the changeover is fast. I don't think they do a lot of heavy duty clean. Alright.

I'm sorry. That's rude. I shouldn't talk about such things. Hey. I'll think about it the next time I fly.

I'll remember this story and be like, hey. Was did somebody change a crappy baby diaper on this plane in this seat beforehand? You know, he goes sit down and went, it doesn't smell very good. And this airplane smells faintly of dookie. Yeah.

Nobody should have to deal with that. Thursday. I love that it is Thursday. Monday Tuesday were so crazy. So crazy.

And they felt like at least a full week on their own. Glad Thursday is finally here. When I woke up Tuesday, it was like, it's only Tuesday. What is happening? Thought Thursday might never come.

And today should be should be a pretty decent day as far as my existence goes. I I need to catch up on a lot of things and then just go judge fair food. Eat like a pig. I'm hoping I'll have some energy for some chores later. I know chores is boring, but they they've gotta be done.

I don't have a lot to do, but I have some. Some stuff to get done. So I'll try to be productive today on top of judging the food at the Eastern Idaho State Fair. And I'll do the full update on that on tomorrow's show. I haven't done it yet.

So what's the point of even talking about it? I don't know. I should shut up and move along. What was I gonna talk about? I mean, we talked a little bit about travel already.

You know, how to not be a bad traveler. Now this one, I don't know what the proper answer is because nowadays on flights, if you've got a screen built in the back of the seat, most airlines give you, like, a variety of movies you can watch free or you can log in and watch them on your phone or tablet. Like, last time I flew, I know there was some lady watching something kinda wild on her tablet. I remember seeing a bunch of gore, and I was like, woah. That's pretty crazy to see on an airplane because she had a big tablet.

Might as well have been a TV. And, you know she's just watching away I was like okay whatever I mean there were no like kids around so I figured no big deal but what about some of these movies on planes where things start getting a little risque you know I mean, they don't edit the movies on the airplane. And, apparently, people were talking about how they've been on flights recently, and all of a sudden, they look over and pretty much assume somebody's watching an adult film. Now they're generally not that level of explicit, but I don't know. You might see people wearing no clothes.

What if you're watching Game of Thrones on an airplane? You know? It could get pretty wild. K? There could be, naked men and women.

Yeah. You you never know what you're gonna get when it comes to Game of Thrones. On top of that, people getting brutally killed. I don't know if Game of Thrones is available on demand on an airplane. I'm just trying to think of an example here.

But what what do you do if that happens? I would say out of courtesy for your fellow passengers even though I don't see why anybody freaks out when, you know, there's a nudity on a movie. You know, there there are gonna be people around who'd be like, oh, what am I gonna do? Oh, I can't believe it. I saw a topless person.

I would skip the scene. I've fast forward a little bit, but that's just me. I would feel like a weirdo watching some well, even if it was brutal gore, I would feel weird watching it on a screen knowing there are people behind me seeing that, you know, I don't know. I sit there and read horror novels, and I remember being on a plane and even when there's crazy stuff happening in a book I'm reading, being like, do you think the person sitting next to me is reading this page? What are they gonna think if they read this page?

And I mean, who on earth would look over and start reading someone next to them's book? Again, I read wild horror novels. So when an uncomfortable scene's happening and you have someone sitting right next to you, you'd have to feel close to the same level of freak show as someone who would watch brutal gore or, you know, a little bit of the sexy time on a tablet on a plane. But I don't know. Some people have zero shame.

Zero shame. So I personally recommend you skip that stuff, you know, if if it pops up. And airlines really should maybe do a little bit of, reviewing content before deciding, yeah, let's make this movie available on demand for everyone on the flight, but I don't know. See, I've talked with peaches about this before. Like, I'm not personally bothered by a lot of things.

Alright? When it comes to being offended by content, you you gotta try really hard to actually. I I don't know. To me for me to be personally offended and get mad, I don't know what level that is because I can brush a lot of stuff off. But other people are easily offended.

And just because I might not understand their level of discomfort doesn't mean I'm not gonna respect it. You know? So even if it seems silly, try to be respectful of others. It just leads to a better life experience for everybody. Alright?

Be a good fellow traveler. Alright. My voice is back to normal. Feeling pretty good. All it takes to apparently refresh it to about 90% of capacity is about 13 hours of sleep.

Maybe it was closer to 12. Got a good amount of rest yesterday. Hopefully, peaches did as well. By the way, speaking of Peaches, it's his birthday today. Happy birthday, Peaches.

You made it to 28. Oh, good for you. Make sure to give Peaches a happy birthday message today. By the way, Peaches has a birthday surprise for everybody today. I can't tell you what it is because I'd ruin the surprise.

But at some point, we'll unveil the surprise whenever he gets here or maybe I would assume during the morning show because we're gonna be at the fair during the lunch hour. Speaking of which, you listeners are so great. Usually on our birthdays, a bunch of treats will show up. Don't bring peaches anything for his birthday. Not because I'm trying to be a jerk.

Like, if it was a normal day, I would certainly encourage treats coming to the studio. But like I mentioned, it's fair food tasting day. We're gonna have more sweets today than anyone could possibly ever want. Like, it you wouldn't think you could get tired of fair food. Right?

Well, when you try about 30 different fair food items, by the end, the last thing you want is is sweets. So, you know, on fair food judging day, we tend to fast in the morning. You know, no food. I'm not gonna eat anything prior to going to the fair. Alright.

I haven't eaten since, I I don't know, some early hour yesterday. Like, just don't do it. Let's go ahead and make as much room as possible. And then you really have to pace yourself. So, yes, even though it might be tempting to do so, please don't bring any treats because they're just gonna end up sitting here for at least a day.

They might, you know, not be as good. Again, I want I want a big celebration for Peach's birthday, but trust me. He'll have plenty of delicious treats. How lucky is that to have your birthday fall on the fair food tasting day? It's like you you get your own little party thrown for you.

And Peaches had a, birthday celebration 2 days ago at the Mountain America Center. Get 4 amazing bands to play. Far as I recall, there was no shows around my birthday. Maybe there were and I just you know how my memory is it's garbage, but wanna wish peaches a happy birthday. 28 years old today.

I remember when I was 28 sorta. That was a long time ago. 14 years ago, I was 28. That sounds really weird. That makes me feel ancient today that I was 2814 years ago.

What? I still feel like I should be 28 right now, like, mentally. Physically, no. I don't feel 28 anymore. But oh, else.

You know, mentally young is is better than nothing. Right? So happy birthday, peaches. I hope it's a good day today. Hope you enjoy the fair food judging.

Keep an eye on our socials. We will be posting images and, I I don't know, video. Maybe I'll go live from there. I don't know what the plan is. All I know is we gotta eat, and we'll let you know what the best stuff is.

You know, doing our our civic duty for the communities here in East Idaho. You hear what I'm saying? You hear what I'm saying? What's up? It's Victor Wiltz.

Good morning. Good day to you. Hope it's going amazing. Mine, it's it's alright. It's not too shabby.

We got a lot going on around here. It's been a crazy busy week. Crazy busy week. You know, we had the big show. We had Lou Brutus in town.

It's Peach's birthday. By the way, once again, don't bring any treats. Not trying to ruin his birthday. We've got fair food judging going on today. All the DJs are going, so no one would eat the treats.

Alright? I don't want anybody to waste waste money. If you really wanna bring Peach's birthday treats, like, bring him next week after he's recovered from the fair food judging. And, then they'll be appreciated. K?

Again, not trying to spoil his birthday, but your treats would go to waste today. So don't do it. Alright. We got, like I said, a lot going on. After wrapping up all the things we've done so far in the longest week of all time, At least that's how it's felt.

I would like to mention we've got other concert ticket giveaways going on and we're gonna be giving away tickets to tons of great shows in the next few months. Right now, this week, giving away tickets to wage war era throne and fame on fire. They're gonna be hitting up the revolution concert house in Boise, Saturday, October 19th. Got tickets to the show, and everybody who wins tickets wins meet and greets with our friends' fame on fire. Pretty cool.

Pretty cool. Nothing better than free tickets except for additional prizes like meet and greets with awesome bands. So if you would like to enter to win tickets to see wage war era throne and fame on fire, October 19th at the revolution concert house in Boise, fire up the k Bear or all taps and enter to win. And, again, if you do win, you'll also score meet and greets with fame on fire. If you don't win, buy tickets.

That's a great lineup with a lot of different types of music, and it's a weekend show. It's going down Saturday, October 19th. Plenty of time to plan ahead. It's a weekend. Why not go see that amazing lineup, and why not go for free?

Enter to win now in the k Bear and all taps and get more details on all of the amazing shows coming to our area by checking out our concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com. So that was the Foo Fighters right there, something from nothing. And, apparently, the Foo Fighters are in some type of a dispute with a a politician right now. I had a listener, encourage me to not play the Foo Fighters because of this dispute. Alright.

Listen. I don't care what side a band is on politically. K? In order for me to stop playing a band because of, I don't know, something that doesn't relate to their songs sucking or something, you know, they'd have to be the band has done something that is actually, you know, very terrible. K?

Like, we play a lot of bands on both sides of the political spectrum. K? We've got rage against the machine, and we've got Kid Rock. We've got system of a down. Well, I guess system of a down depending on the band member.

They go, you know, vastly different, as far as the politics go, but they're they're a political band. Anyway, we got them, and then we've got stained with Aaron Lewis. K? Foo Fighters saying that a politician shouldn't have used their music without permission and in a kinda arguing back and forth with said politician's, team about this. I'm not gonna not play the Foos because of that.

That's that seems very silly to me. K? Just the same as I wouldn't, you know, stop playing Kid Rock because he made an appearance at the RNC. And, I mean, obviously, like all people, I fall on one side or the other in general when it comes to, political belief. But unless a band member is being, you know, like a completely horrible person and has done something disgusting and despicable, I'm not just gonna not play their music because of, the way they think.

K? Should I even take calls on this? I got somebody calling. I don't know. Let's see.

Might as well. K Bear, you are live on the show. Please keep that in mind. Who's this? This is Eli.

How are you doing, Victor? Eli, I'm doing alright, man. I I got lots of sleep yesterday, so I I feel like the the real world does exist once again. So that's good. Good.

So what's got sleep, doesn't it? Hey. I was gonna chime in on this whole conversation if I may. Sure. So I think I'm right there with you.

Politically, it doesn't matter either way. The only thing I would say as far as a band to not play would have to be Lost Prophets. Okay. See, there there we go. That's what I'm talking about.

And I'm not gonna get into what happened with the Yeah. Man of lost promise. Your music fan. You know. Because it's so disgusting and and horrible.

But, yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Alright. Somebody who's done something completely despicable. Yeah. I'm not gonna play their music.

K? But Yeah. You know That's the only thing I could think of that would qualify somebody from being able to be played. Or if their music just sucks. Like, yeah.

Okay. That song's garbage. Okay. I'm not gonna play it. But, yeah.

You know, disagreeing with somebody politically, I you know, whatever. K? It's far too much of that going on in the world. People disagreeing and just completely disowning because of one belief or something. It's ridiculous.

I I agree. One of the most frustrating things is I've got friends. I've got, family members. I got people I work with that I completely disagree with politically, like a 100%, but we can sit down and talk to each other and we could even talk about political stuff and we don't walk away hating each other. You know, we we should be able to have discussions.

It's really sad that, things have gotten so divisive, that people will, you know, get to the point that they will just cut off, like, you know, people cut people out of their lives and things like that or get into physical altercations or I don't know. No. I think it's always been divisive. It's just how people handle it. Yeah.

People got immature about how they handle it. Yeah. Because I I used to be able to have political discussions with people back in the day that I completely disagreed with. And like I said, I mean, there are people I can still do that, but there are a lot of peep like, there's there's a reason I don't lean into what I really think politically on air because I don't want, you know, be walking around town, have somebody, I don't know, run me over or something. You never know.

People yourself because you expressed your opinion. Yeah. Yeah. People have people have gotten crazy. I see all the said something that all day too.

What's that? I said, dude, hey. You said something that all day. Yeah. I mean, I see the news stories every day about people getting attacked and things like that during political disputes, so I worry about crazy people.

You know? Crazy people are out there. Out there. Awesome, Victor. Well, thanks for letting me chime in, man.

Absolutely, man. Good to hear from you. Hope you have a great rest of the week. You too, man. Take care.

Peace. So anyhow, it's just kind of a reminder to try to be rational when it comes to like, do you think these politicians on either side like, do you think they truly care about you as a specific individual? You know? Like, if you get into a an actual altercation with somebody in the name of these people, do you think they're gonna come to your rescue? It's been proven time and time again that, they won't.

K? It is not worth, destroying friendships, destroying relationships with your family members, getting yourself into legal trouble for the sake of any politician. K? They might care about a a grand idea, but, you as an individual, they're not gonna come rescue you. They they do not care.

K? They might pretend they do, but, just look at actions, and I don't know. Just try to be a good human being is what this ultimately comes down to. K? And I'm not gonna stop playing the Foo Fighters.

K? But I'll also continue to play Kid Rock. Alright? Tell one of these people does something, like like, really, really disgusting. K?

Freak news powered by Greasemonkey voted Idaho's best oil change. Howdy. Alright. Is Wendy's releasing real life krabby patties? Alright.

If you've seen SpongeBob, the burgers they sell are, crabby patties. And it might be like, you know, just a patty made out of crab meat, kinda like a crab cake. Nobody knows. I don't know. Apparently, Wendy's has teamed up with Paramount, and it looks like they're doing some type of limited time collaboration offering up krabby patties.

But what are they going to be? Simply a burger with a special krabby patty sauce. Okay. Listen. I'm sure it would be expensive.

Crab meat, not cheap. You could make a burger out of crab meat. Alright. Crab cakes. All you do is put a crab cake on a bun.

Alright. If anybody could do it cheap, it would be Wendy's. And, you know, funny enough, let's talk about burgers with crab meat. Alright? This might sound nasty if you're if you hear about it.

Alright? A burger that has been stuffed with crab meat. K? You would think that sounds weird. Right?

Well, back in the day, the bee's knees, they had a burger. Maybe it was called the krabby patty. I don't remember, but I bought this burger. It was a cheeseburger stuffed with crab meat. And at that time, I felt that it was the best burger I ever had.

I was very disappointed when the bee's knees stopped serving that burger. I'm sure it it probably wasn't a big seller because it sounds weird. But I as someone who likes crab, like, I think crab is delicious. And, of course, you've heard me talk about cheeseburgers. I gave it a shot, and I was mind blown.

Mind blown. So I don't know who locally needs to bring this kind of thing back, but forget special krabby patty sauce. I want the burgers stuffed with crab meat to to make a return to some local restaurant. Alright. Whoever does it, Sully's, Bacon and Blue, Snake Bite, Blue Wave.

Hey, Blue Wave. It it sounds appropriate there. You got the, beach theme. I don't know. Somebody do it.

It was delicious. Alright. Anyway, don't need to get thinking about food yet. Still gotta judge the fair food today. Wonder if we'll get any, burgers on the on the, old, sample platter there.

We usually do. Anyhow, hopefully, they give us the burger on a donut to try because that's another one that sounds really weird, but it's freaking incredible. Burger on a donut. Oh, okay. Sorry.

Back to freak news powered by Grease Monkey. Alright. Imagine this. You get a package in the mail, one of those big, white and blue envelopes says a prime on it. You know, Amazon delivery.

You'd recently ordered some guitar tuners. Now you're gonna fix up that guitar, put some new tuners on it. I actually need to do that with, one of my guitars, my old acoustic guitar, my classical. It could use new tuners for sure. It's, I'm always afraid that, strings are gonna explode my face when I try to tune it up.

Well, if you reach into the bag and the tuners are all soft. Yeah. Pueblo, Colorado. Somebody ordered Guitar Tuners, and, they got a package of dookie. Oh, man.

You know, you'd think there's nothing worse than stepping in dog crap out in your yard if you don't have a dog or something. No. There is worse. It's called reaching into your Amazon package. Be like, what is that?

That's so gross. Sorry. There's been a lot of dookie talk on this show today with the baby diaper changing in the middle of the airplane earlier. Well, anyway, it would be a fun phone call to Amazon customer service. Did you know you can talk to somebody at Amazon for customer service?

You can. I've had to do it before. You can also just chat with them in a, you know, a chat screen on your computer, but I'm sure it would be fun to message whoever and be like, hey. Listen. You guys sent me a piece of crap and they're like, well, what's wrong with the item?

No. This is a piece of crap. Sir, is it broken? Listen. You sent me a piece of crap.

You might use different language, but try to be nice to customer service. K? They're just doing their job. And this is real advice for you here. If you remain patient and sane when it comes to dealing with customer service, you will have better results.

K. I've been extremely furious before with a number of companies. And I mean, it's there's only been a few of them that I eventually lost patience with to such a degree that I actually got kind of meh. And I'm apologizing to the customer service at the same time. Like, listen.

I know it's not your fault, but I can't take it anymore. I know you're just doing your job, but you've you've gotta escalate this. I've been wronged. Patience and sanity goes a long ways in getting things dealt with. I recently had, some issues I needed to deal with, with a purchase I made from, well, just say it because they were great.

Shout out to Lowe's, the local Lowe's in Idaho Falls. Their staff is awesome. Something happened that was totally my fault. Totally my fault. You know, that I I didn't, open up a package for a long time because I wasn't gonna be able to install the item.

And when I opened it, it was, you know, it had some problems. They helped me out. Local Idaho Falls, Lowe's, you're great. You're great. And they thanked me for my patience at the time because it was a a kind of complex issue.

So being nice to customer service goes a long ways. I'll save the rest of the freak news for later on. Hope you're all doing good. I'm oh, man. It feels good to feel a little bit better the last 2 days.

I mean, I had so much fun this week. I had so much fun, but I would that sleep deprivation, man, you you really pay for that. It is unpleasant. Why is it that in so many situations where people live with an HOA, there always have to be people that just make it terrible for you. You know?

I I can understand to a degree wanting to live in a place where there are certain requirements on keeping your yard looking nice and things like that, but also, as someone who lives alone and, you know, just trying to keep up on the basic things around the house, I could imagine it would be difficult to, you know, meet certain expectations all the time. So, also, I mean, the main reason is if if I wanna paint my house, neon pink, I should be able to do so. I like to be a weirdo, and I like to be able to decorate my house however I want. I wouldn't ever live in a place with an HOA. I I like to be able to go a little bit wild.

I've said it before. If anybody, you know, is working on their skills at painting murals and they want, you know, a a fun I don't know, what what the word I'm looking for? A canvas to do something weird on. My house is available. K?

I'm ready to get stupid. Now we'd have to reach an agreement on what said mural type thing would be. But if you need the practice, I would love to paint my house completely insane. Alright? This story is an example of people just taking things too far when it comes to what what why did my brain just suddenly shut down?

Enforcing rules of the HOA. This is in South Carolina. Alright. There's a a cul de sac, and it's got a big grassy area at the end. The common area as they call it.

It's just a big grassy area. K? You would think if you live in a neighborhood with a cul de sac with a big grassy common area, it might be a great place for the kids to go play. You know, okay. We wanna play some soccer or some football or this and that.

No. No. Can't have that. Yeah. You know, these kids, they're out here doing organized sports and that breaks the rules of the HOA.

Kids, why don't you just stay inside and play on your phones and do all the other things that old people complain about kids doing? Too much TV's time. Too much screen time playing those video games. But don't go outside and play either. Yeah.

Parents getting a cease and desist letter from the homeowners association saying, you know, no organized sports and, like, these are like 5 year olds just going, hey. Let's go kick a soccer ball around. So now the h o a started planting a bunch of trees in this area. What are you supposed to do in this common area? You know, if if kids can't play, I don't see any picnic tables or anything.

What are you supposed to do? Boomers only. You know, you get yourself a nice, blanket and just sit on the grass. No. That's gonna mat the grass down.

Just don't don't go anywhere near this area. Yeah. They're saying that, next thing you know, you know, it'll go from 10 kids playing to all of a sudden it's gonna be 40. Yeah. Next thing you know, they'll be, you know, throwing a a music festival here or something.

Like, jeez. I don't know. Again, I understand people wanting to live in a neighborhood where things look nice. But let the kids play. Jeez.

You know, there are a lot of great things about today, but I think the the whiny entitlement of some people, it it's gotta make things annoying and rough for children in in many ways. You know, every everybody always complain at all the next generation blah blah blah, but then you got situations like this where nobody nobody will even allow them to have fun. It's not like it was when we were kids. You know, the world's a much scarier place in ways. They gotta be terrified at school.

You know? Go through drills we never used to have to go through back in the day. We used to just get on our bikes and ride who knows where. I could never imagine just yeah. Sure.

Go ahead and take your bike. Go all the way across town when you're, like, 10. I don't know. Give these kids a break. If you live in a neighborhood where there's a nice common grassy area they could play, even if they're gonna mess it up a little bit.

Jeez. Let the kids play. It's been the longest week of all time. Not bad. I mean, it's been a very fun week, but holy crap.

I cannot believe how long this week has felt. You know, you've heard me complain plenty of times about, time's going by way too quick the older I get. Well, apparently, I just need to have Lou Brutus come to town. And then, you know, hanging out with that old guy, that'll lead to days just lasting forever, apparently. Oh, keeping lots of activities on the oh, wait.

The reason it felt like the days were extremely long, it's not because Lou was here. It's because I didn't sleep. The days actually were incredibly long. It's not a very healthy way to make the time pass slower. Just sleep deprivation.

Alright. What's going on here? What is going on in the world? We've got a Saskatchewan man arrested for a string of hay bale arson attacks. Oh, he was a firefighter.

You know, they should really do some type of a evaluation before hiring someone to be a firefighter. How many times have we seen firefighter commits arson stories? Yeah. They they need to determine whether or not somebody has a bad obsession with fire before giving them the job. Because we we've seen the stories where people would go start fires to be able to, you know, get out on the job and fight the fire.

May that might be different from I just like fire. I love fighting fire, but maybe they do here in the US do some type of evaluation. This was up in Canada. Yeah. I would just go out to farms and just light up hay bales.

You know, that that's very dangerous. K. And it's also messed up. What are the cows and horses supposed to eat? Come on.

Do cows eat hay? I don't know. I'm not a farmer. I'm not the guy to go to for advice on what to feed your your critters out there on old McDonald's farm. Anyway, this guy facing charges of arson causing mischief.

I I think that any crime that includes the word mischief in the charges, they need to change it. Mischief just sounds like, you know, those kids who were playing at the HOA, kicking a football around. They're up to mischief out there. Man, we gotta put a stop to it. Mischief doesn't sound like a crime.

Sounds like, you know, tame misbehavior. Like, oh, he sprayed someone with a squirt gun. That mischievous little tyke. What a little stinker. When it involves fire.

Alright. Burning things to the ground. I don't know about that word mischief. It just doesn't ring right to me. Anyhow, yeah.

If our local fire departments don't do a mental evaluation before hiring people, I I just like to encourage that. I'm not trying to be a stick in the mud, those of you who are obsessed with fire, but sorry. We gotta keep things tame around here. Alright. And we we got a pretty good pile of people in the live stream.

So Peaches for your birthday. What did you do last night? I may or may not have, copied your look and a few other dudes' looks in the building. Well, Jill just said a few minutes ago, what, there's nothing sexier than a bald man with a beard. And she was very supportive too at the front desk when I I revealed it to her right as I walked in because nobody was out front.

So I'm like, watch this. Alright. The whole thing. So that's why you're wearing the beanie because you are cold because you have no hair. No.

Honestly, it feels the same. Like that's how that's how, like, thin it was or how, like, short it was. Yeah. My mine I noticed the difference because I still had the, you know, the skull it look with the long on the sides. So it made a big difference.

But, man, during the summertime, it feels great to have a a freshly shaved head. I I shaved mine this morning so we could really look look twins Yeah. When we go to the fair food tasting. Yeah. Me and you and Josh all rolling in.

I just realized me, you, Josh, half of Justin, the big boss man. There are a lot of shaved heads in this building. The only ones who have hair are Jade and the woman. Yep. And Jay Miller.

And I still think Jay Miller Jay the head of the sales team, I don't really count. They they I'm talking about on air. I think Jay Miller still needs to shave the head, leave the beard, and neck tattoo, and he'll just look scary. Well, I can tell you when I when I looked at myself last night, it looked like if I was in his shape, I'd be as scary as heck to to, you know. Well, I think Facebook want and me, I haven't seen.

We've gotta see. So headphones up. Alright. Beanie up. I wanna see the comments so far.

Is it oh, I also revealed it to our buddy, Andy Matter. Oh, right on. Right on. We've got just a lot of, happy birthday messages. Jake said looks good, brother, and you haven't even taken off the, beanie yet.

Well, I showed Jake last night too. Oh, okay. I was in his discord call and I Okay. Would turn the camera on and showed him. But, no.

He was he was very supportive. So was his other friend in the Discord call. So I was very happy. Okay. But, you know, what's it called?

Yeah. I threw away the shampoo and conditioner last night too. You threw it right in the garbage. It's, like, thick and fresh. I'm, like, that's no need that's not needed anymore.

Yep. That's right. Just you can be the typical dude, one bottle of soap, man. One bottle of soap. I'm ready.

I'm ready, peaches. Come on. Oh. Oh, yeah. It looks great.

No. It looks terrible, man. I'm, I I don't support in any way. Grow that hair back in. It looks terrible.

This morning I put these on and I was like, oh, yeah. Yeah. Look at that look. Yeah. Look at that.

Alright. Oh, dude. Yeah. It looks way better way better that way. Yeah.

It looks fine. You got a good head for it. Turn your head sideways so I could see the look. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Looking good. It was not looking good before, and I looked to the, like, the left or the right, whatever. Yeah. And it was like the hair was, like, back, but it was still there.

And it was just, like, now I touch it, and I'm, like, woah. Yeah. It it's it's real nice to, to get adjusted to it. And, I don't know. The there are so many situations where, like, before, like, if you got sweaty, you know, my hair would just, like, frizz up and get all curly and messy and Well, even putting the beanie on, if I took it off, it would look horrible.

Oh, yeah. Or if I'd, like, take a hoodie off during the winter, then I'd just have this disaster. Mhmm. So, now it's it's just great all the time. Great.

My hair always looks good because there is none. Yeah. Yeah. So no combs needed. My other friends who I thought would be the ones that were, like, insulting me the entire time, they actually said it looks amazing.

They're they're like, you should, go get a professional beard trim and, you know. I I was disappointed you didn't go with the look I mentioned yesterday where you leave the hairline from the beard and it looks like you've strapped a beard on like a mask. It was weird. Like, as I I told you last night, as soon as I walked into my place after the Fred Meyer trip, as soon as I walked in, I just put my salad and my fruit on the dining room table. I was like an n p c.

I just walked like a sim to the bathroom. I turned on my favorite songs on, you know, the dreaded s word that is Spotify. Sorry. Oh no. No.

And, yeah, right the summoning started playing and I just went literally with them like here goes nothing and Nice. And, yeah. Yeah. It looks good, man. We're gonna roll in, I forgot my sunglasses.

I need some ridiculous glasses so we can all roll into the fair food tasting bald crew. Try mine on here. Yeah. Let me see those. These are like 2 XL.

Yeah these are big these are big they're like too big for my head look at you look at that guy yeah look at me I mean actually I wear giant sunglasses peaches you need to clean these they're really dirty you can't see out of them Covered with muck. No. It looks yeah. It looks good, dude. I realized with the beanie, I look like Ryan Dunn, you know, or like Oh, from the that one show.

Yeah. The one Jack butt. Because the boss would prefer, we call it. But, any compliments in the Facebook group? I don't know.

I hadn't been reading the comments. Let's see. Looks good peaches. I can't go full shave. I like wearing hats, so I do like a 1 or 2.

That's Stewart. Well, Terry looks good. Happy birthday. Looks good. Peaches.

Woo. Q Tippy. Happy birthday on him. What do you mean? Twins like Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

That's pretty funny, the 2 of us. Bald crew. Bald crew. Lots of happy birthday and, and that kind of stuff, peaches. So, and so far, nobody said it looks like crap.

Britton says it fits you. Yeah. Yeah. Good job, Peaches. Good job finally getting the job done.

Congratulations. And, of course, you Watch this. I'm gonna go I'm gonna go reveal to Josh and Chantelle in the classics, dude. You want to make that score? You already did.

No. No. They they had no time to do anything because they, what's it called? They were, about to go live on the air. Well, I was gonna give you a final Oh, good for you.

I did see that on my, my my post or your post for my birthday. Thank you. You are welcome. You're welcome. And, everybody, one final reminder.

Even though it is Peach's birthday today, do not bring any treats because we're going to the fair food tasting. I mean, you can bring, like, heart healthy stuff. Yeah. Like If you walk in with a giant bag of, like, sun chips that are, like, you know, whole grain garden salsa, whatever. Yeah.

But, like, cake, cupcakes, and stuff. We're going to the fair food tasting and the entire staff is. So, like, any kind of cupcakes, sweets, anything like it's it's just gonna sit here. And the whole heart thing distracted me. Unfortunately, I couldn't get any Tupperware.

This also happened and I was, you know, when you first do it, I'm sure you can probably relate to this. Do you did you expect, like, some stares from, like, just random people that don't even know you? Because that's how I felt when I walked into the, Idaho Heart Institute this morning. I'm just, like, everyone's gonna stare at this giant dude, but usually they stare at me because it's like, oh, he's a much taller person compared to everybody else. Yeah.

I mean, the first time I shaved my head was many, many years ago and I did, So I don't remember. I did expect people from staff or people who see me regularly to react weird, but people who didn't know me, I guess not. Mhmm. You know? Because, you know, they don't know how you normally look, I guess.

Right. And my I mine was a much more drastic change, I guess, you know, because I had long, curly, you know, wavy hair Yeah. And then went to nothing. So Right. Yeah.

But yeah. Looks good, dude. Good job. Thank you. Oh, good for you.

And, hopefully, Josh and Chantel get a kick out of it as well. Bald crew coming for you. Eastern Idaho State Fair. Me and Josh and Peach's Bald gang. The devil's orchard.

It's the Victor Will show with Peaches. 2 bald dudes just sitting in a room. I mean, there's already 2 bald guys in the band that we cannot take their name. That's right. But, no, we've got 3 bald dude.

Well, 4 if we pull the GM into our game. And is there anybody else with the straight shaved head or is it just the 4? Just the 4. Alright. 4 ball feet.

The fantastic 4. The fantastic 4. The ball tastic 4. The ball tastic 4 of Riverbend Media Group. That's right, peaches.

Welcome to the game. We all go on we all go on stage, do stage announcements, and, the the spotlight reflects on our heads. Oh oh, yeah, dude. I there have been a few times when the lighting in here, I'm like, oh, jeez. Turn the overhead light off if I'm on a video.

Well, that was another thing too is when I was doing interviews, I'm like, man, it looks horrible. Like, even when I looked at myself with that camera high up above there. Like, I'll show I'll show you what it looked like before. Well, we recently had the camera set up behind me one day, and I hadn't shaved my head in a bit. So oh.

See. Now and I can't see the top of your head, Peaches, because you're, you know, a giant. Yeah. So you just had the same experience I had when I saw the back of my head. And that was literally it.

The when I that's all the hair I'm showing you. That's And that was after you shaved the whole thing? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's that's all of it, but that was just from the top right there.

Yeah. When that when that happens, you're like, alright. All it took for me was I saw the right angle one time and was like, what in the heck is that time to shave my head? Well, I had people making comments like Jade for some reason making comments when we saw Daughtry. He was like, oh, you're next peaches.

And, you know, and then, Well, I've been encouraging you for a while because I just thought it would look good. You know? I mean, your hair was cut I could tell it's thinning a little on top. I couldn't see it like that, though. Mhmm.

You know? But, I mean, it just looked a little thinner. I just looking at the shape of your head, I was like and especially once you grew the beard. Uh-huh. I was like, I bet it would look good, you know, with the shaved head.

Oh, yeah. So yeah. Now you just need to get covered with tattoos Hey. Somebody said and join a hardcore band. And I think it was my friend, Matt, that said I need to put on this, like, collared button down shirt with, like, a gold chain and some jeans.

Yeah. You'll be able to experiment with your, fashion now, you know. Well, you can't wear anything that's, like, overly crazy because you might be seen as, like, you know, one of those guys that, like, you know, only white type thing. You know what I mean? Oh, jeez.

Yeah. Jeez. Here. I'm not I'll just tag. Right.

Right. So that's what I'm saying. Like, it's like one of those. Yeah. That that's true.

That's true. You don't wanna end up looking like some of those terrible online influencers. Right. That's for sure. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, welcome to the club, peaches. Bald gang. Well, here. I was gonna talk about this.

You wanna talk about this another break? No. Let's do it now. Let's do whatever you had now. I'm on this I I for some reason have this suggested on my Facebook.

VCR VHS collector's resource, and people just share the VHS tapes that they've collected, the random ones they found at thrift stores. This guy bought this one, a woman's survival guide to automotive emergencies. If a picture is worth a 1000 a 1000 words, this video is worth a1000000. Okay. That's a very interesting VHS.

I I have some VHS at my house. It's all boxed up somewhere. But a few of the you know, I've got some weird VHS like, some old school band live videos. I've got that old classic movie reefer madness where you know you're you're like people are jumping out of buildings and stuff. One of these old, scare the children kind of videos.

It was really funny. My dad, I think, found it in a in a house he was, cleaning out or something one time. Like, yeah. This is funny. Vhs collection.

I collecting. I wonder if one of these days down the road, you know, give it to 30, 50 years if VHS tapes will be, like, worth tons of money. This group is actually pretty, pretty nutty. This guy shows off is actually showing off a real tattoo we got of 2 Home Alone VHS tapes. Okay.

Wow. That's taking it to a new level. He's a he asks, who else has VHS Inc? Let's see your retro inspired tats. Oh, one guy actually has the toxic Avenger piece right there.

Oh, okay. I could understand that. I could understand a Toxie tattoo. Nightmare before Christmas on top of the feet there. Alright.

Nightmare before Christmas. I've seen a lot of Nightmare before Christmas tattoos. So I don't know if that even counts. Return of the Living Dead? That dude, that was, my friend, Joe, one of his all time favorite horror movies, Return of the Living Dead.

There's not there's not too many on here that well, I like that one. 7 Near Dark. That's pretty cool. Oh, that looks cool. I like that one too.

Yep. Apparently, VHS collectors with tattoos also, horror fans, and there ain't nothing wrong with a nice horror tattoo. Like, watching Ice 9 Kills the other night, as a horror fan, I just love Ice 9 Kills. Oh, they're fantastic. I love the retro television they had in the back.

Yeah. I was messaging their label rep, like, you know, I love Ice 9 kills. This show is great. And then I was, like, you need to line me up an interview with Spencer because I'm a big horror guy and how he never even got back to me. He just, you know, went ahead and cut me off immediately.

Not a peep after I said line me up an interview with Spencer. So I wonder why. I wonder if Spencer doesn't do interviews or something. I think Spencer probably ends up in these interviews with terrible radio DJs who ask questions like, hey, what do you like to do for fun when you get to the hotel room? Yeah.

Yeah. You know? When I I was like, dude, I could sit right in front of my wall of horror books. It'll look correct. And we we can just talk horror.

He was just at the, this one hospital. I don't know where exactly the band is at currently on tour but, he literally went inside this hospital hallway because he he knew the location of this building and he knew it was from Halloween 6 or something like that. Wow. Yeah. I I just think we'd have a great discussion and I'd like to know more about, you know, if he's into some of the crazy horror authors that I'm into.

I mean, most people who get really into horror like that He's definitely really into it. Movies and novels and, you know, I might take them by surprise with some of the authors I read because, generally, you hear about Stephen King. Yeah. You know, when it comes to give him. Or maybe Clive Barker.

Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, not not a lot of people Jack Ketchum. See, in Jack Ketchum, that's you know, you're kinda getting underground there. I mean, if you're a a horror novel fan, you probably know Jack Ketchum, maybe Brian Keene.

Joe Hill, Stephen King's son. But there might be a lot of author or, you know, most people have heard, like, Dean Koontz and things like that. Mhmm. But I I'd be really curious to know what other types of horror Spencer's into and, you know, how deep how deep would they go underground for writing songs? Because most of their stuff is very, you know, well known, like Friday 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Pet Cemetery, Child's Play.

Like, you know, would you guys be willing to go, like, real real deep into the horror world? Because they're gonna have to eventually. You're gonna run out of topics writing about all the mainstream horror movies. They've done Halloween. They've they've done it all.

But do you think he's also sick and tired of talking horror with people? Does he talk a lot of horror in interviews? I've noticed he's done a few. Yeah. I I don't watch a lot of band interviews because usually the interviewer makes me, cringe out and go, gosh.

I hope I'm not like that. So, yeah, I haven't watched many interviews with them. I'll have to check some out. You would think if you're into horror, you'd like talking horror. Like, I don't get tired of talking about it.

I can talk about horror novels all day, so I don't know. Anyway, we're gonna take a break. We got a lot of, like, getting ahead of the game to do because we need to leave to the fair in, like, an hour. Yeah. So Yeah.

We'll be back in just a minute. Hang on. Blah blah blah. Bye. Great band.

Another band that we are the only radio station you're gonna hear that on. Oscillator. That's right. I like the one that he goes, doom switch. Doom switch.

Yeah. Make them suffer. Great band. Great band. They're Australian, mate.

Are they? Yeah. I didn't know that. Why they had the monsters of Oz tour with Parkway Drive, make them suffer. Of course, who else was on there?

Oh, Amity Affliction. Is Amity Affliction? I think it was Amity Affliction. Are they Yeah. Not from the US?

I don't I don't know much about that. Surprised. There are a lot of bands that, take you by surprise when it comes to their sound because you would think they're American. Like, for example, when you hear Ozzy sing Yeah. He he speaks clearly.

Yeah. Then when he talks and he can't understand anything, clear as day, very American sounding with the with the vocals That's great. Of his tracks. You you liked my Ozzy in person? Impression?

I do like the family's podcast. That's that's pretty funny. I I've listened to a little bit of it, but it's It's As much as I love Ozzy, it's hard to listen to Ozzy. Well, it's funny watching Kelly and Jack teach them Young Person Slain and and then Ozzy's like, woah, WAP, what is that? It's a great song.

It's a great song. He seems like a great guy to be friends with, to be quite honest with you. I bet, Ozzie, is way great to be friends with. He's a very nice dude. Doesn't, you know, will vibe with you no matter what.

Yeah. Like, one of the things that makes me a little bit crazy when hanging out with Lou is, you know, he has those 10,000,000 stories of hanging out with just about everybody. And I'm always like, man, I wish I could meet some of these guys. Like, we were talking about Tenacious Dee with him, Jack Black. You know, Lou's got to meet Dave Grohl a bunch of times.

There are so many rock stars that Metallica. Yeah. Metallica. I mean, Lou has met everyone. He was talking with us about, you know, hanging with Pink Floyd and Frank Zappa.

Right. Isn't that crazy? You know? Like Yeah. He he did say he got in lucky.

We got he got in at a lucky time to the business. Oh, yeah. Like, the perfect time. Mhmm. And, you know, it it's really cool to have somehow made friends with a guy like that, you know, just to roll around.

And when he tells you, you know, this is the most fun I've had on the road all year and it was hanging out with you and me. Right. That's pretty cool. I I was very, very, very happy to hear that. And I like I said before, I don't know if we said it on this show or if we said it on the prerecorded 2 PM hour because we might be out of here soon.

Today. We I I think all the other shows, all the other stops he's making on this North American, North Latitude tour, whatever it's called It's got that big long name. Yeah. And I I don't think he'll be having any work at what's what's the phrase I'm looking for? He won't be having as nearly as much fun as he did here.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, nobody else is gonna take him out to the middle of nowhere, dark sky, you know. And hang out with him till 2 in the morning. Yeah.

Risk an afib part, you know. That's right. You know, I mean, we suffered for the sake of rock and roll the last 2 days. Well, I think I should have said, hey. I can't make it because the last night before, I only slept 3 hours.

I yeah. And I I told you, like, we're gonna be out really late. It's just it's one of those things that's hard to turn down. Like, I knew I would really suffer taking Lou out there and then having a show the next day. Also, you know, taking him to the airport yesterday after being at the show because me and Lou stayed till the very last people left the parking lot.

Yeah. The girl that I really like, she's like, let's go to Applebee's after the show. I'm like, let's go. I guess I thought I just I just jumped on the You gotta do it. So, you know, sometimes you gotta suffer for this the state or the for the sake of rock and roll, but, you pay.

You pay. We both paid yesterday in different ways. Yeah. Almost a ER visit for me. Yeah.

Me, it was just I can't work anymore. I have to go home, and then I killed my entire day sleeping. So, the cats, I think, were happy because they've been neglected for a few days just hanging home by themselves. So it was nice to be able to alright. Cats, I'm here, but sorry I'm not gonna play.

I hope you're ready for nap time. My place is a mess because all I ever did for the past 3 days is run home, drop stuff off, whatever wherever in the place, and then just take off again. Yeah. Yeah. I I get it.

I that's why I've been bit by bit cleaning my house and trying to not make more of a mess because I gotta get it cleaned up by this this weekend because, you know, earlier we were talking about, Judith. I think that was was that on this show? That was on my prerecorded 2 PM hour. Okay. See, I can't remember anything.

I I have no idea where we did what breaks. We're prerecording because we have to be at the Eastern Idaho State Fair Food Taste Testing event. Yeah. I hate prerecording for the most part because listeners tried calling in. I had one guy say say I tried calling in 10 times.

You didn't pick up the phone, Peaches. I'm like, well, I'm out of the office by, like, 5 o'clock Yeah. Even though the show goes till 7. Yeah. So she's coming to visit this weekend and, you know, even though I know she wouldn't care how clean my house is, you know how it is, Peaches.

When you have people coming over, especially a lady, you want your house to be in good shape. So that's gonna be what I try to get done in the evenings next 2 days. Just the rest of the tidying up that needs to be done. All the real boring stuff, sweeping and mopping. Oh, hate sweeping and mopping.

Hate vacuuming. I hate the dishes. I just hate doing dishes. My dishes Laundry's fine. Laundry's easy.

Easy. Dusting, I can't do because my nose is freezing. Me. I need the dust. I gotta dust as well.

Dust. Dust. Anyway, we're gonna get out of here. We gotta get on the road and go judge some fair food. We're we're gonna put in remote breaks for the noon hour.

We gotta make sure we do them so people don't think we're at some other place broadcasting live. And we'll have, like, a lot of people involved too. I think we'll have Katie, Justin, Josh, and Chantel. And I'm sure the other DJs in town, they're gonna be yelling from the background because they're just desperate to make their appearance on K band. Well, I think Shaggy might, if you we can persuade him to join us.

He he probably would. I I don't wanna get anybody in trouble with their bosses, but we'll we'll see how it goes. Up to a few people that we don't like and be, like, you know, screaming their podcast name to them. We can do that. It'll be interesting to see who's there.

So Peaches happy birthday. Thank you. I know you're gonna play this song later on your show, but we're ending with The Beatles. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt show. This program's a production of river.
