#0230 - Park Ranger vs. Orange Gator: The AI Slop Cinematic Universe - 08/19/2025
Hi. What's up, everybody? I hope your morning's going good. I woke up, like, a little bit anxious. I hate that.
Nothing worse than anxiety in the morning. I don't know what's been going on since yesterday morning, but it's a little bit better today, so that's good. I may have found a a cure for anxiety. Just the right AI slop videos. I was scrolling Facebook, you know, sending out the happy birthday messages.
I like to do that. And I stumbled across a video called park ranger saves deer from crocodile attack. Right out of the gate, you can tell it's AI because you've got this alligator biting a deer that's just standing there, like, right in the middle of, you know, its, torso, I guess. I don't know what you call that area of a deer, but, like, the deer's just standing there, you know, kind of unfazed after that. Let me play it again here.
Park ranger comes up and he prize the caters mouth open. Like it I don't even know how to describe the manner in which he pries it open, but it's not how Steve Erwin did it. You you remember crocodile hunter? Remember that? So he pries the gator's mouth open, and then that doesn't work.
So he gets out the bear mace and just paints this gator orange. The deer's just kinda lay in there. You know, apparently the deer unfazed by the bear mace that would also be, you know, seriously messing up the deer. Then the park ranger oh, I gotta back that up. Did he hit it looked like he hit the deer with a stick.
Okay. No. He's just hitting the gator with a stick, and then he shoots it a few times and tases it. And then he's standing there happy with the deer and the gator at the end, and the gator just kinda crawls away. It's completely orange from the bear mace, and the deer is completely unfazed.
Not a tooth mark on it. There you go. Start your day with AI slop. One good way to, I don't know, clear out a little bit of, the, the brain chaos. I don't know if your brain works like mine.
It's okay. It's gonna be a better day today. It's gonna be a much better day today. How is it only Tuesday? Oh, guess Monday was just long.
Long and relentless. Alright. Let's see here. Items sold on the black market that people would not expect. Sure.
I know I'm not encouraging you to buy them, but maybe it'll be interesting. I don't know. Try in here, people. Alright. Apparently, in some places, people buy the dirt from cemeteries where people have died of yellow fever during the pandemic long ago.
Voodoo doctors create potions to cast spells. Cemeteries don't identify the mass burials anymore due to people digging up the dirt to sell. Don't go to the voodoo doctor. Alright. If you got some problems going on, regular old doctor.
Just fine. Alright. And recommended. K? They go to school for a very long time to be able to do that job.
So Yeah. You know? You got somebody with some, magic cures. Don't do it. You never know what they're putting in there.
Dirt from yellow fever. Mhmm. Alright. What else do we have? Flavored zen at my golf club in California.
Flavored are illegal in California. People travel and bring them back, and there are auctions. It's kind of insane watching a bunch of rich guys do this. Alright. I'm not encouraging you to try to make some extra dough, but you could probably load up, head to a random golf club in California, make some pretty good cash.
It would be illegal, though. K? Again, this is a black market. You shouldn't be selling any of these things. Alright?
You're gonna get in trouble. Nobody needs trouble. Alright. Expired Starbucks flavor syrups, which I find both sad and kind of hilarious. Okay.
I guess there's probably a market for that, but I don't I don't know. Why not just get something fresh? Let's see here. Powdered baby formula? I noticed when we were in Bellingham, Washington, me and my lady, we were at, I think it was Fred Meyer getting some gas.
And, they did have all of the, baby powder in locked glass cases. Well, maybe they should make stuff for babies that they need to survive a little bit more affordable so people don't have to steal it. How about lowering grocery prices? Jeez. Shouldn't have to be buying baby powder off the black market.
That's ridiculous. Alright. What else do we have here? Doritos. Guy was living in South Korea and, really wanted some nacho cheese, I guess.
Yeah. Tapeworms. Alright. This claims that people buy tapeworms and then the meds that kill it. And so you, like, keep the tapeworm for, like, three months to lose weight and then you take the, the medicine to kill it.
That is a horrible weight loss plan. K? As someone who could afford to lose a little bit of weight, maybe I should hit that treadmill in my basement. Yeah. Maybe drink more water.
Yeah. Alright. Fish are the second biggest black market trade. All fish are pretty expensive. Where's the fish black market.
Anyway, honey. Well, then get you gotta get see, I would think that all of these items could be, you know, removed from the black market if groceries just got to be a little bit more affordable. But, you know, you know, takes time. Right? Takes time.
Alright. I'm gonna find something else to talk about. I'll be back in a minute. K? Alright.
Hang on. I forgot to mention this yesterday. You know, I was on vacation for the last week. And, you know, occasionally, we'll bring up the topic of ghosts and things like that on the show, and I'm pretty skeptical. You know?
Have not seen a ghost, and rarely does something unexplainable enough happen that I go, alright. I have no explanation for that. But my lady and I, we stayed at this, Airbnb in Bellingham, and it was out on a farm. It was an old barn that they had, you know, really fixed up, made really nice. You know, nice vaulted ceilings.
It was really cool. The red when I walked in and I didn't tell my lady this when we first got there. You know, when to use the restroom, walk in there. And the biggest spider, like, this giant spider right there on the wall. Hideous looking.
Just huge. So I, you know, kill the spider, you know, get rid of the evidence. Like, I don't want her getting, you know, creeped out about spiders the minute we walk in this place. And then after that, it was like fine till, you know, we decided to go to bed for the evening. We're just sitting up kind of talking.
And then, alright, I mentioned this is on a farm. K. If you looked out the windows, the barn we were in, it was way far away from anything. Like, this was out in the country, the closest neighbor. I mean, you had to get the binoculars out to look for him.
Okay. So it's probably, I don't know, midnight or something. It was late. And all of a sudden we hear this woman's voice. Couldn't understand what she said, but clear as day, a woman's voice.
We both heard him go. What what is it? What was that? And I thought it sounded like it came from like right outside the door of the, Airbnb, but to my girlfriend it sounded like this voice was inside. I mean again my hearing sucks.
If you've ever been around me you know how many times I go Can you say that again? What? So, yeah, hard for me to tell where exactly a voice was coming from, but it was clearly a woman's voice. There was nothing else it could be. I you know, we didn't have the TV on.
Our phones were sitting right with us and it came from the other side of the place. And there's no there nobody around. Right? There's nobody no way that anybody could have been out there. And then it was just gone.
Oh, I don't know what it was. It was weird. It was weird. So if you would like to stay in a haunted barn, I I can recommend one because again, I have no other explanation for what we heard had to be a haunted barn and it was nice too. It was very, very cozy for a haunted barn.
And then we, you know, didn't hear any other noises or anything like that. And I don't think anything else weird happened, but even my daughter walked in there and she's like, this place is haunted just right when she walked in. So I don't know. Again, if you need haunted, Airbnb recommendations, I have at least one. It's a long drive to get there, but, Bellingham's pretty nice as long as you don't hit it in a heatwave like we did.
New music from Bad Omen Spector. What is up? It's Victor Wilt. I think Peaches did a reaction video to that song. Fire up the, K Bear YouTube if you wanna check that out.
Okay. What am I gonna check out? I had some kind of tab open that seemed sure good enough for content for the moment. Weird flexes? Alright.
What's the weirdest flex you've ever heard someone say with a straight face? Let's pass some judgment on people. Alright. Okay. So this guy says a manager of a different department to me prided herself on being crazy busy all the time.
She proudly told me she hasn't listened to music in fifteen years because she doesn't have time. I asked if she has a radio in her car, and she said she turns it off. I said, what about in supermarkets where they play background music? She said she tunes it out and ignores it. What a freak.
That seems like red flag to me. I don't can you imagine? I I don't know. I guess it's this was just someone they worked with. Could but could you imagine, like, being hooked up with somebody who didn't like music?
Like, they I don't listen to it. I don't have time. You just wanna crank up the tunes at your house? No. I don't have time for this.
Ugh. Yeah. That that is a weird flex. What kind of flex is that? I don't have time for music.
All right. This person says I don't use my PTO. Okay. Note to everybody. You earned that PTO.
It's one of your job benefits. Use it. Yeah. I use every bit I can, unfortunately, because it's hard to build it back up. Yeah.
No. Y'all don't have to worry about me going on vacation anytime soon. Oh, I think my family was wanting me to come to Minnesota soon. I don't think anybody understands the lack of PTO. You know?
Makes it tough. Also, you know, get out of town for a few days. Costs money. Takes money. Well, anyway, not gonna think about that right now.
Use your PTO. That is a weird flex. Alright. Let's see here. This person flexed.
I didn't finish high school and neither did my daughter, and we turned out fine. Know, try to finish school. You know? I don't know if I'd flex on it like but you could what if you will you know there are people who I guarantee have not made it through high school and a ranch You know, there's a lot of luck in the world. You know?
I'd if if you struck it rich and you didn't graduate, you you should definitely flex it. That's what I say. What is this? This person's mom used to brag that she stayed in a crappy relationship because she didn't wanna be a homie hopper, and woman should stay loyal to one man and one man only. No.
Jeez, people. If you're in a bad relationship, just get out of it. K? You're only on this planet one time. No.
Just Yeah. You gotta be loyal to one person only. This is why you don't get married at like 18. It's how people get, you know, screwed up and in these bad relationships that they're stuck in because it's hard to get a divorce. It's hard to split up with people.
Alright? Holy cow. Yeah. And it sounds like this was a really bad relationship. No.
Get, get on out of there. Guarantee you got friends and family that'll help you, escape from, terrible, terrible relationships. And once you get into a good relationship, you'll be like, what was I thinking? What was I thinking all that time? This guy bragging, I'm the only man in town with six fingers.
Okay. Now does that mean he lost four or he had six on one hand? Now if you have six on one hand, that sounds like something to brag about. You know, everyone's gonna think every photo of you is AI in this day and age, but, you know, you you can prove it. You can meet people in person, be like, look.
Six fingers on one hand. Now if you had four fingers chopped off and you're like, I'm the only person with six fingers in town, that would be a weird flex. K? And finally, a kid told me the grand okay. Jeez.
I'm not gonna read that one. Yeah. That's, that's a weird flex for sure. Alright. There's a song I need to dig up.
It's a real banger. So hang on, everybody. We'll be right back. Well, if you're looking for another way to make some money aside from selling, you know, baby formula on the black market, become a celebrity impersonator, because apparently anyone can get away with actually taking the stage and getting paid. Even if in my opinion, should have been pretty obvious.
This is not who this celebrity was. Some guy claiming to be, Justin Bieber went into a Vegas nightclub was like, Hey, can I get up and, do some songs? And they're like, well, yeah, of course, Justin Bieber. And, yeah, they even paid him. Though afterward, they, banned him from the resort, you know, permanently, but the crowd was into it.
They were loving it. So, you know, I don't think they needed to ban him. They're the ones who fell for it. And I'm looking at the guy here. I don't know.
To me, it don't look like Justin Bieber, but I guess, you know, if he sings really I'm not gonna play the song. I'm not gonna torture you guys with that. I'm torturing people with music today. It's gonna be the Teletubby song. Alright?
That's what I'm doing. So stick around. We'll do some freak news in a minute, and I hope you're having an amazing morning. I'll be right back. Alright.
Quick warning. If you're gonna visit Arizona anytime soon, wear shoes. Just watched a horrifying TikTok video where a guy was showing how easily scorpions blend into the floor. It was a wood floor. You would think he'd be able to spot a scorpion.
No problem. Then he zoomed in. Alright. I'll remember that the next time I'm down there. No taking my shoes off in my daughter's house.
Scorpions. Nasty. Okay. Let's see here. Okay.
Florida mom charged after packing gun in child's book bag. What do you mean? Deliberately? Yep. Florida mother facing charges after she said she packed a gun in her child's book bag during the first first week of classes at the student's elementary school.
Again, why? Why? Some some parents. Holy cow. It doesn't say why, but she said she did it.
People. I I swear. People you know I I get fed up with people sometimes all right let's see here oh I hope Ben from the advocates injury attorneys is listening right now Ben you know we were talking about scorpions Ben likes spiders alright Ben has a wide collection of tarantulas. Well, Ben, listen to this story. Dad dies suddenly after buying venomous spiders online.
Now this guy ordered some spiders. He got bitten and then he dead. Alright. Guess spiders can kill you. There's a lot of things that can kill you.
Alright. Snakes, spiders, all the things I, try to avoid. I mean technically I think my cat could pull it off she's been clawing me up pretty good recently got me right in the neck and it kind of looks like I got bit by a vampire she just kind of freaked out alright she just kind of freaked out clawed my neck, and it does look like I was attacked by Dracula, which, you know, that that's kinda metal. So, I'd rather get attacked by my cat than a spider for sure even though the cat's much bigger. Yeah, far as I know She wasn't actually trying to take me out But she did go for the jugular with the claws.
Yeah What's up with this CNN Check out the most popular bikinis. Alright, guys. Settle down. It's not gonna get people to subscribe to your website and pay the fees. Or maybe it would.
I don't know. Alright. Anyway, some of this other freak news I opened, I was like, yeah. This will work. And now I'm like, man, maybe not.
Maybe not. Maybe it's a little bit too nasty. So I'll dig up some other crap to talk about here in just a minute. Alright? Sound good?
Avoid poisonous in insects and spiders and all that good kind of stuff. Try to stay safe out there. I'm gonna go, hide in my house. Make sure there's glue traps everywhere. We'll be back.
Is there any good reason to go to Iowa? Trying to think if I've ever been there. I had family. No. They were from, like, Nebraska.
I've been to Minnesota. Been to Wisconsin. I don't know if I've been to Iowa. They're all in that terrible Midwest area. Not a big fan.
Alright? Minnesota ain't too bad. I guess Wisconsin ain't too bad, but I just don't know how people live in these places. You know, if you're gonna put up with horrible weather conditions, you should at least have some great outdoors to enjoy. Right?
Some mountains, some woods. I'm sure they got some woods, but I don't know. Not a big fan of the flatlands myself. Okay. Anyway, back to Iowa.
If you could use $820 you're gonna have to make four trips to Coralville, Iowa, including overnight stays. I don't know if they pay for your rooms. I think they should because what they're having people do is get hammered and then take part in this study to test vehicle sensors that can detect alcohol impairment. So, you know, some stuff to, you know, prevent drunken driving and things like that. So they're gonna get you all hammered, put you in a driving simulator to determine the effectiveness of systems to monitor when a driver is drowsy, distracted, or impaired by alcohol or drugs.
I mean, it's $820. It's not a lot of money. I would assume they'll provide the booze, but, again, you have to go to Iowa. You know? I'm sure that if this was happening locally, some people would sign up, but I don't know.
They are technically paying you to go to Iowa and get hammered. So, I mean, you can, you can go to, what's the website here? Oh, that's a long name. Just just Google University of Iowa Iowa, driving safety research, and I'm sure you'll be able to, pull it up. And then if you do go, call in the show.
Let me know what that was like. I still don't know if $820 is enough to pay me to go to Iowa, though. You know? Even with the free beer. Yeah.
Gotta up gotta up that dollar amount a little bit. Don't mess with the FCC. Oh, the FCC is so lame. I probably shouldn't even say that being on the radio. You know?
No. You're great, FCC. You're awesome. I take back everything I said. Now I was just reading this article here about a guy who just stay can't stop running his illegal radio station.
So far, the FCC has charged him $325,000 in fines for operating an illegal signal. He's a radio DJ known as DJ a nine three zero five. And, Peach's oh, we gotta fix that mic. I I hate it too. You you you messed with it yesterday, and it drove me nuts.
Must have been before I had the headphones on. Yeah. It, Jade, we need new cabling up in here. Got an issue. But anyway Jade the cable guy.
Jade the cable guy. Just as much of a creep. So anyway, I was just talking about this illegal radio station and, you know, the FCC. Like, they they crack down hard on everything. Just everything.
You know, it's kind of crazy, but they've gotta do some updates to the way they work. All right. I saw the other day that, some type of enrollment or something was open for people who want to run for things like city council and mayor. And you've heard me talk about, I'm running for mayor. Victor Wilt for mayor.
And then, like, no. Okay. That's too much work. Victor Wilt for city council. But the problem is because of my job, it's not fair.
It's not fair to people like you and me. They have what they call an equal time rule. And so, you know, if I was to run for city council, our company would have to give equal time to every single candidate running for city council. Therefore, they basically have to give them a radio show. So basically, if you're a radio host or like a TV news person, you just basically can't run for political office because of this equal time rule.
And it's so antiquated and stupid because nowadays, there are all these different platforms you can go on and talk about politics. You could go on, you know, online news. You could go on podcasts and things like that. Like during the presidential election, You know? The candidates were all over the place.
It's it's funny watching these, political candidates need people like Theo Vaughn to go under their platform and spread their political views. Well and I don't blame them because they know if they go on those kind of shows, they're not gonna get hard hitting questions. They're they're deemed as the fun candidate, if you will. I think Obama kinda started that because he was the one who kinda went on Marc Maron's podcast back in the day. But that was after he was president.
True. But also, like, he still gave those a chance. But, you know well, yeah. And I think it's good. I just wish that those podcast hosts asked some hard hitting questions.
You really really do. What's your favorite kind of pizza? What if Theo Vaughn just lost the accent for one episode? It was just like, hey, man. What's your view on this?
Like, it would just not be fun. Well, yeah. But that's if you're gonna be influencing the public when it comes to voting for political candidates, you should ask real questions, not just sit there and try to make them seem cool. I I I only think the person that would do that is Joe Rogan, really. Theo Von didn't ask any hard hitting questions with with Trump.
He said Joe. Rogan certainly didn't ask any hard hitting questions. And then you have these candidates. Yeah. But this is politics.
Politicians are not entertainers. You're supposed to get to know the person as a person. Like, he had, Theo Von had JD Vance on the show too. Bernie Sanders on there. I know.
And that's great. But these people were running for political office. And they come on and they blatantly lie, and these guys don't call them out on any of it. You know, if I had a politician in here lying to my face, I'm not gonna just gonna sit there and be like, cool, bro. Okay.
If you had a potential candidate for president and they come walking in here with their giant secret service members who are well trained, you're gonna call them out for lying to your face? Yeah. That's what a proper broadcaster does. I doubt it. Absolutely.
You bring bring Trump in. We'll have a nice chat. We'll have a nice chat. You could bring in, anyone from any side. Any side.
I am not against bringing politicians in my studio. You were nervous talking to Poppy. Look. I can't imagine you talking to president. Oh, dude.
I would not be nervous talking to a president because I see, Poppy, I respect and like. Politicians, I don't like. So, you know, when somebody's an annoying liar So you'd you'd I'm gonna have a different interaction with them than someone I like. You'd make the president of The United States upset with you and know who you are personally. Absolutely.
What what's he gonna do? Tweet about it? All caps? This guy, Victor Welch, is he's a turd, and he's obviously a a terrorist or something. He shuts down he shuts down k Victor.
He try well, he's trying to shut down all kinds of news. It's Well, I'm kinda glad I'm kinda glad. Equal time rule that I was talking about at the beginning. My main point of this break was to talk about how how it's not fair that broadcasters can't run for office because of this equal time rule, and the FCC still enforces it. Like, during the, presidential election, I think, Kamala Harris went on, like, ABC News or something and did an interview.
Yeah. And then they didn't invite Trump in, so he sued them for the equal time rule. But she couldn't sue Joe Rogan for not inviting her in because those rules don't apply. Because he's an independent podcaster. Exactly.
Right. So the FCC needs to update their rules and get rid of the stupid equal time rule. It doesn't apply in 2025. Not when you have YouTube and, Spotify and all these different places, TikTok, where people get their information. That's the reason why those late night shows are not succeeding anymore because they had to compete against these YouTubers, podcasters, everything.
Yeah. And none of those hosts could run for, office either because they are on broadcast television. It's it's just antiquated stupid rules that they need to change because heck, yeah, I would run for city council in a second. I wanna get in and stir some things up around here, but I'm I'm just basically not allowed to. I'm not allowed to, and I think that that infringes on my rights as an American.
Thank you, FCC. What? Isn't it a bunch of bullcrap beaches? Yeah. Sure.
You know, any any other schmuck can go run for office. Right. But not us. Why not? I I would not do it.
I would because I like stirring things up. I wanna be in those meetings and be like, no. You're an idiot. Stop that. I see what you're trying to do.
I see who you're trying to benefit. You're corrupt. I do like You're corrupt. I do like the AI art war between Gavin Newsom and, Donald Trump on all I know. It's really funny.
Not even Donald Trump. I think it was just like he he did a do a good troll. Like, I'm not I hate Gavin Newsom with all my heart. One of the worst people out there. But He's trolling pretty funny.
I did find it funny. But the problem is I can't tell which ones are real and which aren't. But did you see that, he uploaded a picture of, like, Hulk Hogan praying to him and stuff like that? No. And then, like, Hulk Hogan's estate, had to come out and say, like, well, Hulk Hogan, actually hated Gavin Newsom.
Yeah. I again, I What you gonna do, brother? I can't tell what's real and what isn't anymore. But it does make me laugh, the the Gavin Newsom stuff has been pretty funny. Because, yeah, just the like, we were talking about tweeting.
Just the mock tweeting with the all caps and ridiculous phrasing. Oh, I think I sent you a couple on, online. They were funny. They were funny. So it's good to be able to have a a decent laugh.
Yeah. You know? Yeah. I'm just mad mad that this stupid equal time rule has not gone away. It it does not have a place in 2025.
I could get it back in the day when the only place you could get information was broadcast TV and radio, when you had three channels and whatever was on the radio. But that's not our world. It's so stupid. What would be, like, the funniest podcast guest? Like, the like, the any president ever.
Who would be the funniest Funniest? Funniest podcast guest. I would think Jimmy Carter in his prime, to be quite honest. Him and Theo Vaughn talking back and forth would be the the dumbest thing ever. Marc Maron did a great bit about Theo Vaughn.
I don't know if he saw it. I saw it. I saw it. I'm not really a fan of his views, but I do find him funny. Mark Maron's funny.
And, I mean, I I agree with him on a lot of things, but, you know, I thought that was pretty accurate based on the white glove handling of politicians Theo Bond does because he plays an idiot. You know? I mean, there's a lot He's got a this, you know, I'm a hillbilly character going on, but he's just some spoiled rich kid. There was a lot of butt kissing in that Yeah. Obama episode that Marc Maron did.
I I listen to that, and I'm like, well, hi, mister president. How you doing? This is my garage. Like, relax, pal. Okay.
Well alright. And this will make a lot of listeners mad. You know, if I think back over the last thirty years, you know, if I had to pick one president I would wanna sit down and talk to, you know, it would be the most intelligent one, which is clearly Obama. Oh. Clearly Obama.
Just watch him speak just watch all of them speak. K? We've been dealing with these geriatric guys for, you know, twelve plus years. I would love to have someone in their sixties in. I want, you know, I want Abraham Lincoln.
Abraham Lincoln. Sure. Both sure. I'll bring him back from the dead. Yeah.
Tall ugly guys just, you know Let's just resurrect the old guys Yeah. From back in the day. I don't know how to crook. We've had a lot of terrible presidents over time, haven't we? Who's that one guy?
Chester McArthur? Is that his name? No. The guy with, like, the giant sideburns. I feel like he beat them.
I actually, if I think back over time, I haven't really liked any president. I mean, I liked Obama because he seemed smart. He seemed smart. Bill Clinton seemed like a weasel. You know?
He seemed shady. George Bush, kinda dumb. Okay. That that that'd be fun. Him and Theo Vaughn need to do a podcast together.
He's still alive. Come on. Get him in there. Two two fake hillbillies. That'd be fantastic.
George Bush and Theo Vaughn. Two fake hillbillies. That would be pretty funny. Would be pretty funny. Alright.
Hopefully, I've enraged most of the audience. Yeah. Bill Clinton sucked. Woah. You can tell that out there.
George Bush sucked. The title for the podcast, FCC needs an update. Bill Clinton sucks. Biden sucks. I'm not a fan of Trump either.
I don't like any of them. Get some young people in here who can speak coherently. And I'm not saying it should be me. Just somebody who can talk normal. I was about to say a name, but I'm glad I didn't.
Okay. I might be glad you didn't either. You might fake a southern accent on the air sometimes. Oh, okay. If you are a fake southern accent user, you get.
You get. Well, as you may know, we are in the middle of mosquito season. I've managed to pick up a few bites here and there. If you have major outbreaks, you know, if you get horrible reactions when you have mosquito bites, talk to your doctor. Might be a simple fix.
You never know. I wish that when I was really little that, decided to go to the doc back then to figure out what I guess my parents took me in pretty young, but it's amazing what a little bit of medication can do because, get these big, horrible, just big welts that swell up and they hurt and they make me wanna vomit. Okay. I need to start listening to more Skrillex. Yeah.
That's right. There's a Skrillex song that if you just play it, keeps mosquitoes away. That song would be called scary monsters and nice sprites. You can hear that on vibes one zero three. As a matter of fact, you know, one of our sister stations, pick up the app.
If you like that, EDM and dubstep and stuff. Yeah. Apparently, in insects, low frequency vibrations facilitate, I don't know, some some things that get them a little bit, wired up. I'm excited. So instead of, you know, wanting to feed on people, they wanna go find a mate.
So getting down to Skrillex and, yeah. Help help keep you from having to deal with those bug bites. You know? It's not, you know, your typical camping music, but if it keeps the mosquitoes away, I'm certainly down for it. Mosquitoes suck.
They're awful creatures. Awful creatures. Alright. I'm gonna add that to my, playlist. Mhmm.
Some superstitions are a little bit weird. Seems like I've heard this one before, but you would think at this point where people have stayed in hotels, This would be dismissed immediately, sleeping in a room with an electric fan. We'll kill you. People apparently believe this. Who came up with this?
What torturous, you know, politician or, you know, pseudo scientist was like, alright. We gotta spread the word that if you run a fan in a room at night, you're gonna die. They just want people to suffer. Gets hot outside. You know?
You need that AC going. Sometimes you need a fan. I turned a fan on last night. It was a little hot in my room. I was like, alright.
Guess who's alive this morning? That's right. Me. And I'm more alive today than I was yesterday. Not, you know, fully alive, but I'm getting there bit by bit.
Just gotta get more sleep with that fan running. Yeah. Wonder what other kind of weird things people believe. Weird health myths. Oh, this this would probably actually make people mad.
Weird health myths. Because I guarantee some of these people are like, no. That worked for me. Worked for my grandma. Oh, come on.
Okay. 18 medical and, health myths debunked. Do you need eight glasses of water per day? Alright. Not necessarily.
How much you hydrate depends on the humidity and average temperature of your state's climate, as well as your activity level and genetics. You do need some fluid per day, but it might not be eight glasses. Okay. Holding in a sneeze? Yeah.
Don't do that. That's what this says. Could be pretty brutal. You place too much pressure on your sinuses and lungs, can lead to burst blood vessels, ruptured eardrums, an irritated throat, and more. I always heard back in the day, like, if you sneezed with your eyes open, your eyes would pop out of your head.
Is that true? I don't know. Because your eyes close when you sneeze. I mean, if you can rupture your eardrums, maybe. Hold I gotta Google it now.
Holding in a sneeze, eyes pop out of head. Let's see. Can you sneeze with your eyes open? Should you or shouldn't you? Let's see.
Yeah. Includes an autonomic reflex that closes your eyes, and there's no real clinical data to explain why. Yeah. But what I wanna know is can can your eyes pop out of your head? They don't seem to be answering that question.
No. Okay. No. They will not. Okay.
Good to know. Let's see. Any truth to the five second rule? Well, I mean, I'm sure the the quicker you pick something up off the ground, you know, the better off you are. But I still think, you know, people's shoes are covered with disgusting stuff.
K? That's why, like, I got new carpet at my house a while back and, you know, I prefer that people aren't walking on it with the shoes because I don't know how much dog crap you've stepped in I don't know where where you've been walking now the ground is filthy It's covered with all kinds of disgusting stuff. I I ain't eating something off the ground. No. No.
I'll drink stranger water. You know, I'll pick up a random glass when I'm really thirsty and drink some stranger water, but eating off the ground? No way. And I know there's no logic in that. Yeah.
If you pull out a gray hair, will more than one hair grow in its place? No. If you pull out a single hair follicle, it's impossible for two hairs to grow in its place. Yeah. And the gray hair is just gonna come back.
Trust me. And then they just all of a sudden are everywhere. Ugh. So you're you know what? This break is kinda boring.
Do people shrink as they age? You know? Does eating turkey make you sleepy? Is it bad to go swimming after you eat? All all of this should be common sense at this point, but you might have seen a meme on Facebook to the contrary.
So alright. I'll find something great to end the show. I I swear. Or or at least I'll I'll try. I shouldn't say I swear.
Well, I guess we'll talk about it. I don't remember. It seems like I've seen a similar list before, but this is the type of stuff we don't need making the rounds. You know what I mean? No.
We don't want people coming in. State's full. Alright. So Idaho coming in at number two on the list of best states to live in, getting narrowly beaten out by Massachusetts of all places. What did they base this on?
Affordability, economy, education and health, quality of life, and safety. Okay. How did we come out at number two? That's what I'm wondering here. I mean, affordability?
I think that's gone down. You know? Pretty sure you take a look at housing. You gotta go to the Midwest or the South. Economy?
Do we got a good economy around here? I I don't know. I don't know. I know Jade needs to give me more money, then I'll feel better about the economy. Education and health.
Alright. Well, I don't think I Idaho tends to fare very well in the education department. Okay. Quality of life. Outside of winter, pretty good.
Pretty good. Safety. I will give us for the most part safety. However, I've seen a few strange incidents recently that make me think, you know, the safety, it it it ain't perfect. That's for sure.
Well, anyway, if you wanted to know the best places to live, there you go. Idaho at number two, then New Jersey, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Florida, New Hampshire, Utah, New York, Pennsylvania. So I guess we you wanna move. Massachusetts, it is. Do you like traffic?
Do you like lots of traffic and, like, no wide open spaces? Then you will love the wonderful state of Massachusetts. I don't know. Boston was you know, it was pretty cool, but, you know, I guess I just got the West in my heart. Mhmm.
K, people. I'm gonna get out of here. I'll be back at noon for the noon hour of madness and mayhem. And, hopefully, it doesn't suck too bad. I hope the rest of your day goes good.
Thanks as always for listening to me. You're the best. And, what do we wanna end the show with? Now I'll I'll just leave it as is. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show.
