#0233 - From Ozzy in Little Nicky to Smug Hipsters in Foldable Boats - 08/25/2025
Little bit of ghost on Kay Bear. Morning, and welcome to the old program, the Victor Wilt Show. Hope you had a good weekend. Alright. The heck was I gonna talk about?
I have no idea. I had an idea, and then it just went away. Just off into the ether, vanished. Fantastic. It's gonna be one of those days, one of them Mondays, but that's alright.
Maybe I just need to pound down some more instant coffee. The the stuff I have at home, I don't know if it does a very good job. Yeah. Just doesn't seem to give me that boost I need like the Winco Classic Roast. Well, guess that's what you get when you pay a tiny bit more.
Gotta have the cheapest instant coffee if you want it to, you know, really really do the job. So, I mean, I guess we could talk about, some prizes we have going on this week because we are giving away some really cool stuff like tickets to Mudbane, Static X, and Vended. And we're, you know, making it slightly challenging. It's not that hard, but what we're doing is a muddled vein contest. We've just taken five Mudbane songs, and we've we messed them up.
Alright. Messed them up. Made them kinda hard to understand what song they are. And at some point today, I'll play that or peaches will play that one of them songs. Ask for caller number 20.
And if you can solve it, tell us what the correct song is. You score tickets to see Mudvayne's Static x Invented coming up at the Port Of Helltros Stamp Theater in Pokey, October 3. Now if you don't win tickets, you should buy some. I'm telling you, Mudvayne crushes it live. It's gonna be awesome.
Very excited for this show, and it's gonna be here before we know it because time just rockets by. So, yeah, listen for your chance to win today. If you don't win, follow the link at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar to pick yourself up some tickets to go check out the show. You got a chance to win on air every day this week. Alright.
I'm gonna get back to, content digging. Hopefully, I can find some stuff that's not politically related because that seems to be all of the Internet nowadays. What was you wanna talk about Cracker Barrel again? Why are people still talking about Cracker Barrel? It's crazy.
It's people are going nuts about this. Anyway, we'll get into some stuff in a few. Alright. I wasn't going to talk about Cracker Barrel again. We already dealt with this, like, Thursday and Friday last week.
Figured this dumb outrage would be over with by now, but even East Idaho news posted an article about this yesterday. Like why are people so passionate about this now? I get it. The old cracker barrel logo has more character. You know, I I think it's better than this new rebrand that they've thrown out there, but I I'm really wondering if this, at this point, is a publicity stunt.
And I just know when people would freak out. So they went ahead and did it because it's everywhere. Even when I was scrolling YouTube over the weekend, I saw multiple, you know, popular YouTubers all doing videos about the cracker barrel change. And I get it. You know, a lot of restaurants have done this.
Kinda went with the more modern look and, yeah, the modern look is pretty boring. Yeah. It's very, oh, I don't even know what word I'm looking for here is, but, bland, you know? Very, brutalist. I don't know.
Like, you know, things were a lot more fun when I was younger. Seemed like there was a lot more color and thing. Now paint everything gray. Let's just have every restaurant be gray. But I just don't get why there is so much discussion about this.
And the one main kinda angle on this that I don't get is people saying that, Cracker Barrel went woke. I think that word has lost all meaning. People just use it now if they don't like something. Like, it used to have some kind of actual meaning to it, but now it's just thrown around for anything. Any kind of change that people don't like.
Oh, no. That went woke. Well, Well, you know, I guess at least they've, just killed that word. It it absolutely has no meaning anymore. I mean, when you see people use it now, you don't really take what they're saying seriously.
Right? So anyway, we'll we'll see. I I predict Cracker Barrel goes back to the old logo because I mean people are just spoofing this thing everywhere. I saw the band Sanguisugabog. Looked like they're gonna be selling shirts with, you know, the the old guy and the barrel, but it'll have the, Sanguisugabog logo inside.
We changed the k Bear logo to the, you know, a Cracker Barrel ish logo. And peep some people were even getting mad in the comments on that. I maybe they were unaware of what was going on with Cracker Barrel. They're like, no. Your logo looked like a Cracker Barrel logo.
Like, yeah. I I know. That was the point. But I I guess I'll take this kind of stupid outrage over some of the other stuff we've been dealing with for months and months but it also could just be a distraction what's going on in the world that they don't want us paying attention to so So now everybody's talking about Cracker Barrel. I'm not even a fan of Cracker Barrel.
Last time I went there, I got so annoyed. I was furious with Jade for insisting that we go to Cracker Barrel. The food's fine. But, you know, it was super packed. You had to wait outside for them to call your name for your table, and they had the most irritating, loud, just ear piercing PA system.
It was horrible. It was horrible. I was so mad. And so that was the last time I went to Cracker Barrel. Simply because of the bad PA system outside, I was like, no.
Never again. I'm done. But we don't really have them around here. You gotta go to Salt Lake or something. So that's another reason I'm surprised everybody's talking about it around here.
We don't even have one. But, anyway, so that's still going today. We'll see what other dumb crap happened over the weekend here in a few. Right now, let's do some new set it off. Youngblood covering Black Sabbath?
Hey. What's up, my people? It's the Victor Will Chew, Monday edition boo for Monday. That's alright. 07:00.
Alright? Day is moving along. We're gonna get through it, and then Monday will be over. Then Then we can roll into Tuesday. Do we have a holiday weekend coming up?
Isn't, Monday Labor Day? Does that mean I got a three day weekend? Oh my gosh. I think it does. I hope you get a three day weekend for sure.
Monday is Labor Day, so, yeah, just figured I'd let you know. Holy cow. I need to double check and see if I got any important things coming up. Usually around Labor Day, we get some live broadcast going on and things like that. Like, if I'm supposed to be out broadcasting live sometime soon and I've forgotten about it, that would suck.
I hope that I've got just a three day weekend ahead. That's what I want. I need some extra rest. That's what I need. Alright.
JD called me a second ago and, you know, he was just joking. He's like, there's UFOs in the news. So I Googled UFOs and yeah. There is a bunch of UFOs in the news. Even Fox News was talking about UFO mania gripping a small town after a mysterious glowing object sighting goes viral.
And, yeah. It turns out it was it was just a rocket launch from Florida. And it's like anytime the the Starlink satellites pop up, there are somehow still people who haven't heard about those who are like, look look what I saw in the sky. And I'll admit when I've seen the Starlink satellites, it's weird. It's pretty cool looking.
But, yeah, not UFOs. Still waiting on the government to release those four k U UFO videos they talked about years ago. You would think right now would be a pretty good time for them. You know, try to distract people from all of the garbage that the government's up to. Throw them UFO videos out there.
That'll get people talking about something else. Alright? Aside from, you know, again, all the garbage and Cracker Barrel. I'd much rather be talking about the top quality UFO videos making the rounds, but we don't have them. No top quality UFO videos for us.
Let's see. There are also astronomers puzzling over the fastest object in the solar system. Like, oh, what is it? Is it a comet? Is it a UFO?
Anytime there's something out there. It it could be UFO. It's like, no. That that was an airplane. And I don't know if you're aware of this, but number three in UFO reportings in the entire country, good old Idaho right here.
So, yeah, keep them coming in, but get some video of them. Alright? Everybody's got a high quality camera in their pocket in this day and age. I wanna see some good videos. I want the best UFO video of all time to come out of Idaho.
That would be cool. Come on. We're near the site. Come on. You know?
We know they're they've got some UFOs out there. Right? Just playing. Just playing. I don't need anybody come kicking down the doors here.
Just playing. Alright. Well, I'll see if there's, any other crap in the news worth talking about as we take a quick break and get back to more music. You just hang on. Queens of the stone age.
Yo. What's up? It's Victor Wilt. Hi. How are you doing?
Good? Hope so. Okay. Let's see here. Let's dig into sure.
The safest countries in the world. Yeah. You know, you wanna stay safe. You don't wanna have to worry when you're out and about. So where is The United States on the twenty twenty five global peace index list?
Let's see here. I was only seeing the top 10 and The US wasn't one of them. So I was like, how far down do we gotta go to find The United States? Where is it? This is quite the, the chart that I'm looking at here.
I must just be blind because, I mean, it it has to be on the list somewhere. Anyway, the safest places in the world would be coming in at number one, Iceland. Number two, Ireland. Three, New Zealand. Four, Austria.
Five, Switzerland. Six, Singapore. Seven, Portugal. Eight, Denmark. Nine, Slovenia, and 10, Finland.
But where the heck is The US on this list? Why why can't I see it? I mean, we couldn't be that low on the list that, I just can't find it. Maybe they just left us off the list. I don't know.
But, anyway, I was reading about some of these other places. Like Singapore, for example, I would love to visit Singapore. It it's got a futuristic look to it. Looks really cool. Other places on the list like Iceland, heck, yeah.
I'd like to go check out the northern lights or I think there's supposed to be a total solar eclipse that, Iceland's one of the only places you can view it sometime in the the next few years. If you've never seen a total solar eclipse in person, it's crazy. Now you gotta be in the path of totality so you can take them glasses off and just stare at the, you know, Eye of Sauron in the sky. It was it was crazy. One of the craziest things I've ever seen.
Ireland would be cool to visit. New Zealand, like, go stomp around, check out the filming locations from Lord of the Rings. Yeah. Austria. I don't know much about Austria.
But, hey, I'd be down to go check it out. Where is The US on this list? Still driving me crazy. I I can't find it on here. Oh, there it is.
America. We're number 58 as far as the, safest places in the world go. Who's safer than us that would be a surprise here? Because I've heard that, places like Mexico, you know, or, you know, some of the most dangerous places in the world. But I'm not seeing, it's just the text is too small.
I'm old and I can't read the small text. My eyes I guess I could zoom in. Alright. Anyway, just figured I'd fill you in in case you were looking for somewhere to vacation. Probably wanna go somewhere safe.
Alright. Enough of that. Back in a minute with freak news. Welcome to the age of stupidity. It's disturbing.
Hail the rise of the idiots. It's weird. It's disgusting. It's stupid. And it has its negative points too.
It's freak news with Victor Wilt on k Bear one zero one. Who's up with so many people buying human bones on social media? It's gotta be illegal. Right? I don't know.
Let's get into Facebook Marketplace and just search for human bones. Alright. What do we got here? That looks like a fake human skeleton. So I'm guessing, at least here in East Idaho, people are not selling human bones on social media, Not from what I could tell.
But elsewhere, it's apparently a a major problem. Article talking about fears of grave robbing rising amid the rise of sale of human remains. I guess this is mainly a problem in The UK. Alright. Would you want a real human skull?
You know? Or like people bones? I don't know. I don't know myself. It didn't seem kinda weird, but you know, I guess to each their own if you're getting them, like, ethically sourced, which I don't even know what that means.
That's just what this guy who sells human bones at his shop. Curiosity is from the fifth corner in The UK. He's like, as long as they're ethically sourced, I'll take anything as far as people bones go. Yeah. I don't know.
I don't know myself. Guess I gotta think on that one. Anyway, I'm not trying to give anybody ideas here. Okay? Don't rob graves to try to sell human bones.
K? That is, I I think a bit blasphemous, and it's rude. K? No grave robbing. What else do we have here?
Don't listen to everything ChatGPT says. K? Don't go asking it for advice, and then just go, okay. I mean, ChatGPT said to do it. Apparently, after a breakup, a man says ChatGPT tried to convince him he could secretly fly by jumping from a 19 story building.
Yeah. You know why people are losing their minds and having to be hospitalized from talking with Chat GPT too much? Because of stuff like this. Because of stuff like this. And sadly, I bet there are people who would listen to the chat g p t.
So I guess OpenAI, you know, the company that runs chat g p t says they're working on tools to detect warnings of mental or emotional distress, and, chat g p t will now remind people to take breaks. How about fix the bad advice? Just tell them to, you know, seek, professional help from another human, you know, who is, trained in whichever realm you're needing assistance in. That seems like a better idea to me than just, hey. How about you take a break from chat gpt?
Why don't you go cry on your own for a bit then come back to me and I'll give you some ideas? Jeez. That's pretty crazy. Alright. What else do we have here?
Got a ton of different tabs open, but, oh, if you're looking to move, you know, there are, communities out there that will actually pay you to move there. I was reading about this woman who moved from, Oakland, California to Kansas. They gave her, like, $5 or not $5, $5,000 in cash to relocate, an income tax waiver passed to state parks, and then lunch with the area's economic development director. Alright. I mean, for nobody's gonna complain about a free lunch.
Right? But you gotta move to Kansas. Let's see. There are more than 100 programs offering people economic incentives to move to cities and states across the country, and you can go check this out at makemymove.com. Alright.
Well, they should show a map of where all these places are, not just list them. Okay. Region. Let's see if there's any in Idaho. No.
Okay. How about places I like? Like, let's try Oregon. No. Okay.
Alright. I like Arizona. Where's Arizona on the list? There we go. Southwest.
Arizona. Hey. Oh, zero active programs. These are all gonna be in the Midwest. And I don't know about you, but I've been to the Midwest.
Not my jam. How much would you have to pay me to move to the Midwest? Move somewhere like, I don't know, Iowa or even where my brother and sister live, Minnesota. I you'd have to pay me so much money. You think our winters suck.
Right? Imagine worse winter. It's colder. And you're in a city with, you know, multimillion numbers of people and trying to just deal with your day. Yeah.
Forget it. But, anyway, if if you're looking daring, you wanna go somewhere and get paid to move there, makemymove.com. Yeah. Sorry. I ain't got no Oregon or Arizona.
I'm out. Make them suffer. What up, peaches? Nothing much. What's going on?
Oh, you know, it's Monday morning. Yay, everybody. Monday. Come on. Yeah.
This weekend flew by, but there was still, like, tons of stuff that I did. Went to a variety of stores and everything. Were you the one that messaged me on the gay bear account saying, ew, the Magic Valley? That's right. That was me.
I was hoping to be Jade because, you know, I finally get to see Jade's personality outside of here. No. I mean, generally, if you see anybody trashing the Magic Valley, it's gotta be me. Right. That and that's why I assumed, but I was hoping for I I saw pictures of the, Perine Bridge Twin Falls.
It was like, ew. We saw somebody jump off and parachute down and stuff. Oh, so you went to Twin Falls for the weekend. Mhmm. You know there are good places in Idaho you can go visit beaches?
Like, you could go to Stanley. You could go to Coeur D'Alene. We didn't choose to go there for fun. We just dropped off Aubrey's sister because she lives there. Oh, oh, poor girl.
Her husband's a doctor and works at the hospital there. Okay. A a variety of hospitals in the area. But they're looking to come back, but they're wanting to go to Rexburg. So Okay.
I mean, what I think I would rather hang out in Rexburg than Twin Falls any day. Put that poll in the KBAR group. Where would you rather go? Rexburg, Twin Falls? Did Rexburg all the way.
I can guarantee there's been a lot people saying Twin Falls. I know that they will, but then I wonder have you been to Twin Falls? I mean, it's funny how Twin Falls just randomly pops up, and it's like a regular city. Yeah. It's not weird, like, you know, Burley, something like that.
You know? Well, it's it's But there's It's got some weirdness. It's like there's, like, the Habit Burger there. There's tons of restaurants we don't have here that they have over there. Like, they're gonna get a Raising Cane's.
Okay. I They're also gonna get an In N Out Burger soon. Yeah. Well, Pokey's got, Raising Cane's coming soon. Do they?
Yeah. Oh. And that is much closer than driving to that dump Twin Falls. Dump. Sorry.
I just don't like the Magic Alley peaches. Why dump this someone must have broken your heart there. No. Nobody broke my heart there. Then there must have been a I lived in the area, and I was like, what is going on here?
This is like a horror movie. But you lived in Burley, which is, you know Yeah. But one of the worst. Burley is the worst, but Twin Falls is, like, Burley's big brother. You know?
But Twin Falls also has, like, I don't know, the the big city feel to it. A big city feel? Like It has, like, the the big city for Idaho feel. Yeah. And it it does feel like you're in a city, you know, the size of, you know, like, Pokey or something like that.
But I've just seen weird stuff go down in Twin Falls. There's weird people there. Everything's weird in that area. There's tons of weird people in Idaho, dude. There's tons of weird people all across the country.
I know. But, Magic Valley, man. I'm telling you, it's like a horror movie. And I've been to Twin Falls many, many times. It's, yeah.
I I don't go there, Peaches. I drive past, you know, on that terrible drive to Boise. I don't know. You went to Washington with your daughter, and I'm just like Yeah. And I could have taken the route through Twin Falls in Boise.
I would say there's more there's more weird people in Washington than here. Especially in Twin Falls. More weird people in Washington? Seattle? Are you kidding me?
There's tons of, like, tweakers out there and just people you don't even wanna see. Well, yeah. They got a bigger population. So you're gonna see, you know, some weirdos. Looking stuff.
But, you know, the percentage, I'd say, of weirdo to normal is it's gotta be much higher in the Magic Valley than in Seattle. Did someone do a study on that recently? We we gotta find that one. Yes. I bet that, you know, some of the strange crime rates, if you look at actual percentages, I bet it's worse in a place like Burley than Seattle.
Now, obviously, there's gonna be more arrests in Seattle because of population, but we're talking percentages per capita. Can you imagine some radio show out there reading some sort of stupid survey talking about weirdo to normal people ratio? I I need this study to be done. Well, right on, man. I'm, I'm glad you had a good weekend.
Mine was, and on my weekend, it it kinda sucked. We went to a funeral, which is sad. And then, my brother's, flight got delayed. You'll love hearing that, you know, since you're going to be, traveling Yeah. At the end of the week.
Flight got delayed, so we got in super late Saturday night. So and then yesterday, just kinda lazy day. Sat around watching movies. We should have him come, come into the studio. If he get if he's gonna get up Yeah.
You know? Oh, come on. Is is your whole family just a bunch of people who wake up at, like, two in the afternoon? Dude, I would sleep in if I didn't have this job. Yeah.
But I my version of sleeping in is, like, waking up at ten. Like, that's way late for me. That that's pretty late. My show's done at ten. So, yeah, he'd have to get up pretty early.
Plus, he's on, what, central time Oh, yeah. You know, for being for Minnesota. So his schedule's a little bit off. So, anyway, no. That was about it.
About it. Cool. So Oh, I'm gonna go see nobody two, I think, tonight. Nobody two looks good. Yeah.
Yeah. I like the first one. I showed Aubrey and her, younger brother Kyle and his wife. Nobody won. They really liked it.
So we'll we'll probably all go see Nobody Two. Nice. I wanna go see Weapons. That's another one I wanna see. I wanna see Together.
That looks pretty, pretty intense. Is it the one with, Miles Teller? No. That's eternal. I'm sorry.
That's Yeah. I'm like, you wanna go see a rom com type movie? Like No. It's I mean, it does look very horrifically romantic. It has, what's his name?
Oh, Dave Franco and then Emily no. I know what talking about. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Looked, looked pretty pretty gnarly. Yeah. I love how, like, James Franco sort of went out of the spotlight, and Dave's now, like, the lead guy. Well, didn't James Franco kinda get canceled? Well, he had some weird stuff.
Like, he had, like, a naked photo of himself go around the Internet. I think he yeah. If I recall correct, I think he, Yeah. Did some naughty things and got himself canceled. Right.
But I don't remember for sure. You know, too many people getting canceled all the time. Stop being track. Stop being dirtbags, everybody. Jeez.
Be a good human being. That's what we gotta do at the end of the year. We gotta figure out who's gonna be dead in 2026 and who's gonna be canceled in 2026. Well, Doug Stanhope used to do the, celebrity death pool. And, I you know, it was kinda like fantasy football or something, but I don't know if he does that anymore.
Whoever predicted Aussie for 2025 must have a lot of points. No. Because it you you get lots of points if it's a surprise. Oh. You know?
It's a surprise. So it's someone who it's like, there's a pretty good chance then the points are low, you know, because it's obvious. Right. So Yeah. Anyway What was that?
Speaking of Ozzy, did watch little Nikki yesterday, and that was fun. What is that? Little Nikki? Yeah. What is that?
You've never seen it? No. What is it? It's an Adam Sandler movie where where he plays, one of the sons of the devil, and he's gotta come up to Earth to, fight his brothers and try to save the world. Cool.
Ozzy makes a cameo in it That's pretty good. That's the scene that pops up every once in a while in my feed. Probably. Yes. Very funny movie.
Very, very good. So that was it. That was it. Watch some Adam Sandler movies, people. They they might make you chuckle.
Hey. What's up, boss? So I finally got around to watch some Bloodlines. Yeah. It it it was pretty, pretty good.
There were some pretty decent death scenes. The lawnmower ones picked up in my mind the most. That was pretty brutal. Oh, yeah. That that was that was pretty epic.
Yeah. Alright. I think I shamed somebody out of selling preconcert tickets yesterday. I shamed somebody out of selling their free concert tickets. There's something that was selling on Facebook.
Yeah. They were selling ones they got for train, I guess. From his comments, it sounded like he got them as a bonus from work, but wanted to sell them. I was just basically, like, I don't sell free tickets. I give them away.
You know? And he made a comment that seemed to attack my integrity, and I was gonna make a comment back. And the next thing I know, the post is gone. And I'm like, What happened there? What's the guy shamed?
It wasn't just me either. Most people are like, dude, if you got them for free, you're like, kinda right to sell them. You know? At least I try to kill my expensive tickets anyway. But, yeah, it's it's making a way.
But, yeah, mine was pretty unavailable. I didn't do anything. I've been I've been on, like, just homebound since I got back from California. I'm like, I don't wanna go anywhere. Yep.
But, anyway, I'm good weeknight, and, should be a good one, I think. Yep. Peace. How many times do you have to be arrested as the serial butt sniffer before they just keep you locked up for a while? I mean, clearly this guy just can't stop.
We talked about this guy last month. What's his name here? Calise Crowder, Burbank Area, California. Yeah. Arrested multiple times for just, you know, creeping up on women in stores and sniffing them.
Arrested again just the other day at Walgreens, you know, just trying to pick yourself up, some prescriptions or whatever, and you gotta put up with this kind of crap. I don't know how many times this guy has been arrested for this already, but isn't there like a three strikes you're out rule? Keep this guy out of stores. Alright? I mean, just ridiculous.
Just ridiculous. Watch out, ladies. There's some real creeps out there. Alright? What else is going on here in the news?
I I was reading this story that I I don't know why it annoyed me but it did. It's about this guy, Tom Lutz, who works in New York but lives in New Jersey. And every day, he takes his fold up boat. It's a foldable rowboat, and he packs his foldable bicycle into the back of it, and then he just rides. I guess he's is that what you say?
Riding a boat, I guess? Paddles his way 12 miles down the Hudson River, then folds up his boat, puts it on the back of his bike that's now unfolded, and rides his bike to work, who has the time for this? Alright. I'm guessing that Tom Lutz does not have to be to work at the same time as me. Because you know what?
I just try to get here as fast as I can. K? I'm certainly not going to be boating down the snake pulling off at you know near the sanitation plant and then riding my bike down Sunnyside I don't know why this annoys me. You know, I mean, the guy's got a hobby. He likes to commute to work in a weird way, but he just annoys me for some reason.
But, anyway, that's a thing you can do. Why you'd want to I don't know. Maybe you just feel alive. Hey. What's up?
How's Monday treating you, people? I hope great. What up? It's Victor Wilt. Okay.
Here. Too many tabs open. Too many tabs open. If you are a liquor or wine connoisseur, just a heads up to store your bottles on their side so you can keep the, cork, you know, moisturized. Because otherwise, you might be like this dude.
Had some expensive bottle of whiskey, hung on to it for, like, seventeen years, and was finally like, all right, let's dive in. Let's celebrate. And then the cork just crumbled. Had a bunch of cork inside, you know. Just pretty much screwed up the, you know, expensive booze.
You don't want that to happen, you know. I mean, I try to avoid hard liquor myself because, it's just dangerous for me. But, I know there are a lot of people who are into, like, collectible whiskeys and things like that and, you know, they'll, like, call the liquor store each morning. What do you got? What do you got?
And then they get these expensive bottles just, you know, put them on the shelf if they have a cork. Don't want to ruin your investment there have all your fancy friends over and then you're you know give them glasses full of chunks of cork. Anyway, or you could just start spend your money in other ways. It's probably the smarter move. Oh, do we have an expert calling?
See what they want. K Bear, what's up? Hey, Vic. Got a question for you. All right.
You're live on air. Keep it in mind. Oh, then this is actually perfect, though. So I saw a flyer about hemlock, September 16. Do you know anything about that?
I hadn't heard anything about that, but, let me take a look here. Yeah. That's it. I had a whole phone. At the gym.
There you go. Yep. Looks like show's going down. So, I know I know as much as you, I would assume, you could buy them at the gym's website. Okay.
So there you go, Patrick. Alright. You you got him the free plug. There you go. Alright.
See you, man. Alright. Alright. Peace. I was actually just talking, with my lady about the band, Hemlock, the other day saying, you know, they hadn't been here in a while.
Apparently, they're coming. So that's cool. That's cool. Good dudes. Yeah.
And that's that. Store your expensive, beverages properly. You're gonna feel like a loser down the line. Alright. Anyway, I'll be right back.
When I saw this headline, I'm like, oh, there's a story I'm not gonna be able to talk about on air. But turns out I don't know. I guess my brain goes a different direction when I hear this phrase. I don't know. It just doesn't seem like a good term for what it actually is.
The headline is rail operator will issue 116 to thou not thousand. $116 fines for bear beating on trains. Now what this is is playing music or video or doing phone calls on speakerphone and blasting your audio in public. Now if you're on a train or an airplane or a bus, like get some earbuds going on. Or I try to be respectful of others.
You might not have very good music taste or you might have some, you know, foul mouth irritant on the other end of the line. Sometimes you gotta do things the old fashioned way. Put that phone up to your head. Boy, do they call it bear beating? I I don't know.
Because, again, I was like, that's all? $116 fine for bear beaten on the train? I I think it's a fair fine for playing audio on a phone. I mean, where my brain went is like, no. You should be going to jail.
Alright? And I am not going to elaborate what my thoughts are about this. If you can't figure it out, I I guess good. Alright. So don't do that.
Alright. Any of the above. Well, apparently, ant smuggling is a major problem. Yeah. Ants.
You know? Like fire ants, all that kind of stuff. Why is there a market for ants? You know? Well, let's find out.
The smuggling of ants and other insects into The US reportedly on the rise. Oh, following recent cuts to the USDA. Yeah. Yeah. You know, the government cutting spending left and right.
Yeah. I guess they had an animal and plant health inspection service, which, regulates invertebrate smuggling. And so now these ant smugglers are like, not keeping an eye on things? We're gonna bring in these Asian needle ants and tawny crazy ants. Yeah.
Just what we need. More critters that bite. Yeah. They say, they can damage ecosystems homes, cause severe stings. And, what's being done about nothing.
The Internet just wants to let you know people are smuggling in ants. So yet another thing that's gonna delay us on flights. Nothing like somebody smuggling bugs, screwing up things with the TSA, and backing those lines up. Well, I do not have any air travel on the horizon, so hopefully I don't have to worry about it. But Peaches Peaches, you'd be aware.
Somebody might be packing ants from Idaho Falls, California. You see any creepy crawlies running around? You know, you better alert somebody. Anyway, ant smuggling. Wonder there's gotta be good money in it.
Right? The current days of smuggling, a lot different than they were back in the day. That's for sure. The only other story I saw, related to smuggling today was, some guy was arrested on the way to Burning Man with a bunch of drugs. Really?
What a surprise. Anyway, there's your smuggling news. Smuggling news one zero one, and we'll get back to some more music, more stupid crap from the news here in a minute. Jealous of everybody who got to go see Nine Inch Nails in Salt Lake City last week, or was it the week before? I don't know.
I know it was recently and wish I coulda gone. I finally took a look at a little bit of the, video from the tour, and it looks like they'd had a, pretty cool setup. I know I was considering trying to go to Phoenix and check out the show, but Jade informed me. You're, low on time off. Oh, I hate it when I get in that boat.
Makes me very nervous. They're like, what if what if I catch some kind of sickness? So, anyway, trying to shake that anxiety. Feeling good today, but, no good getting low on the old PTO. So, yeah, don't think I'm gonna be going to, any out of town shows on weekdays anytime soon.
Woe is me. Alright. Be careful if you're out and about on, public lands. There are some people out being turds at least in Montana. Yeah.
Somebody welded a bunch of spikes together out of like barbed wire fence and just throw them all over the trails, you know, in the, Helena area Why would you do this? They call them caltrops So you you weld, like, just two pieces of fence together and make these spikes, which are pretty much awful for anyone. People, pets, livestock. You gotta be a real dirt pack to do this. Right?
If you're if you're aware of anybody who does this kind of thing, turn them into the authorities. Sometimes it's okay to be a snitch because I I would like to have a public mockery of the individual that did this. Now nothing be more annoying than cruising down the road. You're trying to enjoy a nice back road drive, and all of a sudden you gotta deal with a flat tire because of some moron. People are just terrible and stupid, so keep your eyes open.
Now, again, this was in Montana. I don't know if people are doing this here, but, like, why? Why other than to just be a jerk? You know? Public shaming.
Public shaming is what we need. Alright, people. We are giving away tickets to Mudvayne and Static x this week. If you haven't heard about the contest yet, solving the muddled vein. We've got some Mudvayne songs that we just kinda edited and made hard to understand.
And your first chance to win is gonna be today at the top of the noon hour of madness and mayhem. And, it should be pretty fun, Peaches. Yeah. Just gonna, gonna play the little clip, then ask for caller number 20, and then if they get it right, they win. They got, like, what?
How how how much, time should we give them before we move on to caller 20 one? Ten seconds tops. I mean, get those answers quick. Because we can't And I'll call prepared. No problem.
We don't want people sitting there going, yeah. No. You know, we I guess we'll play it by ear. We should do a contest one time where we have listeners do the longest on the phone and see how long we can make them go. Just time it out.
So, anyway, that show is coming up Friday, October 3. Yeah. Fairly soon. At least it's on a Friday night. Great lineup.
Mudvayne, Static X, and Vended. It's going down at the Port Of Hell Trust Amphitheater. And, again, you might be able to go for free every day this week giving you a chance to win. You just have to figure out what Mudvayne song we have played. So, make sure you're listening at noon.
It's when we're gonna give you the first shot. If you don't win tickets, go to the Riverbend media group event calendar and follow the link there so you can get some tickets to the show. It's gonna be awesome. It's a Mudvayne. Come on.
They crush it live. Guarantee you'll enjoy it. Alright. We'll be back in just a second. You hang on.
