The Viktor Wilt Show

This is the Viktor Wilt Show. I'm I'm actually doing a little bit better than I would have expected for the day after the time change. Guess I got myself to sleep at a reasonable enough time. I don't feel any worse than I usually do on a Monday morning, so that's cute. You know?

Not too bad. Ugh. But it is still early. I mean, I only just barely got rolling. So, anyway, I hope you're doing all right as well, and let's just dive into whatever kind of crap I can find to start the show here.

What hobby or interest is full of jerks? You know, I try to encourage everybody to find some kind of hobby, something fun they can do with their time because, you know, especially during the winter months around here, people get a little bit stir crazy. Usually about February, everyone's losing their minds. You know, you get that first burst of sunshine in March. All of a sudden, everybody's all jacked up.

I mean, I I feel it as well. You get those sunny days. It's like, oh, there's hope. There's hope. So, you know, a hobby during the winter months is definitely a good idea, but you don't wanna get one going on that, you know, you have to work with other people that they're gonna be a bunch of turds.

Now I don't know if these hobbies or interests are actually full of jerks. This is just responses from the Internet. So don't blame me. I'm just reading crap off of the Internet. K?

Alright. Poker. I guess if you're really into playing poker. According to this person who used to work in a casino, nine out of 10, d bags. Jeez.

I mean, I could imagine you got money on the table. It's a game where lying is part of the game. I I could see that attracting certain types. And I've never played poker in a casino because I don't gamble at the casino. I'm a big loser.

There you go, peaches. There's a, you know, little clip you can pull, put in the button bar. No. I just I don't do well when it comes to gambling. I don't win.

So, I've I think I've played, well, I I guess only one. I thought there might be more than one table game, but one time, I sat down, played a little bit of blackjack. You know, I think I lost, like, $10 and was like, $10. I could've used that $10. I'm glad that if I lose $1, I get frustrated.

I I never have to worry about losing a bunch of money gambling because I'm not gonna put down big bets. $10 is, like, infuriating to lose for me. Alright. Let's see what else we got here for hobbies full of jerks. Youth travel baseball.

Okay. Not the kids. The parents, I would imagine. I mean, we've all seen the videos of unruly parents at youth sporting events. South Park had the great episode with Randy Marsh fighting the bat dad.

Yeah. It's unfortunate because, you know, you got these kids who they just wanna get out, play some sports, have a good time, and the parents just ruin it for them. Try to not be an embarrassing parent. Alright? And it can be tough because, the nature of it is you're going to embarrass your kids simply by being the parent at some point.

But, there are ways you can ensure that you're not, like, you know, just really, really terrible in ways that are easily predictable, like being the parent at the youth sporting event who starts fighting with the ref. You know, sit down, shut up, and let the game happen. Alright. This person says they run an exotic animal rescue and reptile keeping. The bigger the animal, the worse it seems to get.

Ball Python people can be weird, and there's always some kind of gecko drama, but the Reddit guy what's a Reddit? R e t I c. Monitor keepers, legitimately toxic. I mean, monitor lizards are genuinely frightening to me. I'm wondering if they did a, typo there.

Oh, a reticulated python. Okay. It's, you know, a little bit of slang. Giant snakes, you know, to each their own, but, that would be red flag to me because I'm a wuss. Those animals, you know, I I think they're neat looking.

They're impressive, but in my house, no way. They give me the creeps. Prankers of TikTok. Well, yeah, that that's obviously full of, you know, jerks. A lot of people don't understand.

A prank's supposed to make people laugh. Right? High end makeup communities. Is that full of toxic people? Have to ask my lady about that one.

I don't know anything about makeup. I I know that you put it on your face. All right. But I didn't know that, high end makeup would even be a a hobby or have a community. The world of music.

Okay. Well, that's a huge world. Alright. There's a lot of different types of musicians out there. I mean, you you've got great people and then you have terrible people.

You know, I've met I've met both sides working in the music business. Alright. Pickleball. I mean, come on. Let the old people have fun.

Oh, sorry, lieutenant Crane. You're not that old. He invited me to play pickleball with him one time. I I had to get home because of my required early bedtime, but, I don't know. I just also didn't wanna be an embarrassment.

I guarantee I would suck at pickleball. Alright. Anyway, we're rolling. We're up. We're gonna get through this post time change day.

And, oh, yeah. At 8AM, we're announcing a show. I forgot all about that. So, I'll have to check and see if Peach has scheduled the the posts to go up on our socials. But, announcing a show, and we'll be giving away some tickets.

Who's it gonna be? Make sure you're listening at 08:00. Hey. Just a heads up in case you forgot. We've got some good stuff going on this week to help out the community.

Fundraising for families is back with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho. This is kicking off tomorrow. McDonald House Charities of Idaho. This is kicking off tomorrow. Three days of donations.

You're gonna do your part. Right? Every dollar helps. They're looking to raise $70,000 to support families with ill or injured children, through services provided by the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho. If you aren't familiar with the Ronald McDonald Family Room at EIRMC, it's a facility where families who have children that are currently hospitalized can do things like, you know, get a hot meal, do some laundry, take a nap, shower, relax in a home like environment.

Last year, they served more than 600 families with over 4,400 visits all at no cost to them. So the support from the community each year makes this possible, and we're always very stoked to team up and make this happen. Things are beginning tomorrow. Fundraising for families. Three days looking to raise $70,000 and we got, generous sponsors that are going to be doing some, donation matching.

So every buck is like donating a couple. So, yeah, starting tomorrow, fundraising for families, you'll be able to find the link on our website riverbendmediagroup.com as well as in all of our apps, the k Bear, Cannonball, and alt apps. So do what you can to help out. Like I said, every dollar helps. You know, a tiny donation is is better than no donation.

So hope you can help us out tomorrow. Looking forward to that. Alright. Oh, it feels so early. We'll get through today, people.

We'll make it, stupid time change. Welcome to the show. It's the program. Happy Monday. Hope you're surviving the post time change morning today.

I'm doing better than expected at least so far. I mean, it is Monday, so you never know how that's gonna go, but I guess at least the time change is over with. When I woke up this morning, I totally thought it was Sunday for about two seconds till I realized, no. My alarm is waking me up. That would not happen on a Sunday.

No. Alright. Got my complaints out of my system. There we go. Just make sure to get a nap in if you can because the time change you know it can do some some physical damage to people not getting enough rest throwing them all off kilter and it's it's a bad time it's bad for people all right what do we got going on here I don't know what's up with my reddit feed it's really trying to get me to take a vacation to Las Vegas I don't know why Is it because my phone listens to me and I talk about Vegas often enough, I guess?

So I've constantly got, you know, these threads popping up. Hey. Where's the best place to stay? What's something fun to do? Or is that just all that people talk about in the Las Vegas subreddit?

Look at that. I don't even follow the Las Vegas subreddit. I'm surprised that I don't. Should I join it? Alright.

I'll join it. No. I've got this thread here where people are looking for fun things to do with kids. I'll tell you this. In my opinion, Vegas is a lousy place to bring kids on vacation.

That's just my opinion. Unless you really want to expose them to the realities of the world. Brought my girls to Vegas when they were really little, and, it was upsetting to them. You know? I mean, just because you're exposed to basically, you know, every part of society on the strip.

You could have people that are, whacked out of their mind on drugs. You could have, you know, rowdy people in their twenties getting hammered and just or running rampant, running amok on the streets. You know, it they they didn't particularly enjoy Vegas when they were little. But I don't know. Maybe we should have taken them to the tournament of kings, you know, where you watch the the jousting show and eat with your hands.

I don't know. It it never screamed to me as something I needed to do. But, you know, thinking back, even like Circus Circus where I stayed with my homie Nick last time I went to Vegas. I don't know. I they did have the SpongeBob ride and the amusement park, but I don't know.

Just something about Vegas in general. It just seems like a terrible, terrible place to bring children. I don't know. And if I was going to pick a vacation destination for kids, you know, just get yourself a credit card, take out a home equity loan, and take your kids to, Disneyland. K?

That that's what they're gonna prefer. Something that is 100 kid centric. Take them to Lagoon in Salt Lake. Save Vegas for when they're a little bit older or for yeah. You know, your your time away from the kids.

You drop them off at grandma's house, and then you you go check out whatever you wanna do, you know, while you're there. Anyway, even looking through this list of things for people to do with their families, all I'm seeing here is, like, well, there's, mini golf in a few places. How about, you know, take them to I I don't know. There's nothing for them to do. Yeah.

Don't take your kids to Vegas. Yeah. Save that for yourself. We're gonna get through this day somehow. I don't wanna go drink more caffeine, but I do need some motivation.

Severely lacking on the motivation front this morning as I would suspect we all are. Yeah. It's brutal. A little bit brutal, that time change. Anyway, I hope your weekend went pretty well.

Mine was fairly uneventful. What did I do this weekend? You know, watched a bunch of TV, played a decent amount of Red Dead, had to rage quit Red Dead last night. It doesn't happen too often for me. I was, hunting, and I I've been doing a lot of hunting and gathering in red dead.

Super relaxing activity. Alright. Just wandering through the woods. It's very chill. Very, very Zen until you've, you know, gathered a whole bunch of three star pelts.

And then you're on your way to the trapper so you can sell them and craft some neat clothes And you roll through, you know, that that area of the map with the Murphy brood. Yeah. I I always forget that's the most dangerous area of the map. And nothing more aggravating than getting yourself killed in that game when you've got a pile of difficult to acquire pelts on your horse, like, you know, cougar pelt or black bear. You know, these animals that just don't show up very often.

So I rage quit Red Dead and started watching Goodfellas and then, went to bed. That was my Sunday evening. And then I woke up and thought it was Sunday yet again. Lame. So lame.

Well, thankfully, I've got a three day weekend coming up this coming weekend. And you might be asking, why are you telling us about all this crap we don't care? Well, maybe you're a Poppy fan. I'm gonna do an interview with Poppy next Sunday, and I'll post that on all of our, you know, socials and websites. So my three day weekend, if you're a poppy fan, may be of benefit to you.

That's the point of the entire break. Yay. No. Actually, I just am kinda hanging on to some of the other stories I have for later on the show. I got plenty to talk about.

Trust me. I even just got emailed from Josh over at Classy about a story that I'm I'm waiting a bit. But if you think I'm gonna avoid talking about Tool and Q the Outrage, come on now. Just because I'm, you know, a big fan of that band doesn't mean I'm not willing to throw them under the bus for something that would have severely aggravated me if I was at this big event they held over the weekend. We'll get into that later.

It's the Victor Wilt Show. Hope you're surviving the, you know, day after the time change. Springing forward, awful. We'll get through it together. We will endure.

Alright. What do we got floating around on the Internet today? Well, this might help you out. What is a dead giveaway that someone finds you attractive? Now I guess this is pretty much for dudes because guys are stupid.

Alright. Hey. I'm one of you. I'm dumb. K.

I'm a complete moron at times. More lines for you to be able to clip from the show there, peaches. There you go. Now, guys, I think take completely wrong cues at times or they're just overly confident. They're just dumb.

I don't know if these things are actually dead giveaways that someone finds you attractive because I've only read through a couple of these, but I figured I'd throw it out there. So, you know, if you've been considering asking somebody out or something maybe you could know if it's even a good idea. Alright. Let's take a look here. Debt giveaways that someone finds you attractive.

When they randomly show up where you are. Yeah I guess that could be a sign that they find you attractive. Also could be a sign that they're a stalker. All right? Man, it's so weird.

Every time that I head down to Salt Lake City, I just happen to bump into so and so from back home. They're following you on a three hour drive. Run. Okay. Hopefully, they're not stalking you.

Okay. Laughing a little too hard at your bad jokes. That's just nice. That that could indicate that they find you attractive or they're just a nice person. K.

Some people have a tough time with, you know, setting boundaries or suddenly become very interested in your extremely niche hobby. Alright. Yeah. You know, expressing, interest in your interest, that could be a sign that someone finds you attractive, but it could also mean they're, you know, actually into those things. Alright.

What do we have here? Light accidental touches or finding excuses to touch you like brushing your arm or shoulder can be a sign of attraction. That also just sounds like an invasion of space. I don't know how people deal with dating situations. You know?

I'm super shy. So, you know, luckily, when it came to, you know, getting in my current, relationship, it just kind of happened, I'd say. You know, it was very natural the way it played out. I didn't have to well, you know, anytime you're like, well, gotta make a move. That's that's kinda nerve wracking, but let's see here.

They focus more on you and a group of people. Okay. I mean, so far on here, we're not getting any blatant, like, alright. That's obvious that someone's attracted to you. Guys are so dumb.

I think you just need to be told. You ladies, you just gotta tell them. You know, like, hey. You wanna go out or something? A lot of guys lack confidence.

K? And in this day and age, you don't wanna make somebody uncomfortable. So, yeah, ladies, you're just gonna have to make the moves. I think that's the way this is gonna have to go here. Let's see.

They go out of their way to talk to you or be around you. Okay. That's a decent sign. You know, if they're not responding to you, maybe take the hint. Alright.

Anyway, I should probably not just be keeping the stories I have ready for the show under embargo till later on the show, but I just didn't wanna dive into them now. Yes. I am gonna talk about Toole fans being furious with the band, and, we'll talk about The Last of Us part two, the new series, or new season, I should say, dropping in about a month, and they're getting the preemptive strike going on outrage. So stupid. Plenty coming up on the show is all I gotta say.

And, also, in less than an hour at 08:00, we're going to announce a show that's going down at the Mountain America Center. Yeah. Arena show. And if we're announcing it, that means it's a a rock show. Right?

Uh-huh. Woah. Am I giving out too many hints? Sorry. I figured you would assume it's gonna be a rock show if we're teasing the announcement.

K? So that's in about an hour. I'll be back in a minute. Just gonna work on that motivation for the day. Here we go.

Again, one quick reminder that coming up at 08:00, going to announce big rock show coming to the Mountain America Center. Oh, arena rock show. Who's it gonna be? Well, just wanna do the preemptive. Don't complain if it's not something you don't personally like because this happens with every single show we announce in the area.

You know, you got some people excited and other people will go, man, that's not what I'm that's not for me. It's kinda like our playlist. You know? Not every song's for everybody. K?

Not every show that comes to the area is gonna be one that's for everybody. I mean, that's how it works for me. There are some shows that come to town that I'm like, well, yeah. And other ones, I'm like, alright. You know?

So I'm I'm not trying to, like, downplay things by any means. Alright? I just know how you folks are. I know that there will be the inevitable. I don't like this or that.

Just try to be happy. We're getting arena shows. K? Alright? If they're big enough to book at the arena, you know, they're big bands.

So wait for the next one if one particular showing to your liking. I'm just not in the mood for people's complaints today. I didn't look at Facebook basically all weekend, and it was great. I mean, I'm sure I'll get a a bit of a talking to from Jade because unfortunately, due to how frustrating social media has become, I'm not posting as much because I'm just not on there because I'm working on my mental health. You know, you can make yourself crazy by continuing to look at social media or you can just not look at it and do something more fun.

Like, I don't know, play a little bit of super meat boy though. Just be aware. Super meat boy could be considered a very offensive video game. K. On was it Friday night?

I don't know if it was Friday or Saturday night because my memory's just terrible. I think it was Saturday night. I decided to finally, for the first time ever, go live on the Victor Wilt TikTok page. So I was streaming live from home, playing a little bit of super meat boy, and all of a sudden in the middle of my stream I get this message that pops up that's like your stream has been restricted for, inappropriate content and I'm sitting there going why because I approach my online streaming from home as this you know, the same way I do the radio show. Okay?

I don't swear or anything because I don't know. I don't want Jade tuning in going, look how you present yourself to the community, you know, using that naughty language. Even though I know no one would actually care. But still, I did a perfectly tame stream just playing Super Meat Boy. And I don't know if it's because your character is a little chunk of meat.

And, you know, if you die in the game, it explodes into a, you know, meat and blood explosion. But I I could not imagine based on some of the things I've seen online, why on earth super meat boy would be considered offensive. Because it wasn't anything I said. I ended up having to delete the stream because they muted the whole audio. I was gonna leave it up for everybody to check out, but who wants to watch an hour of just me sitting there with no audio?

Unless you really love Super Meat Boy on the world's smallest screen. So just beware. You're gonna do some live streaming. Apparently, you just need to use as much profanity as possible and play, I don't know, grand theft auto. You know, if you're keeping it tame and playing super meat boy, gonna restrict your account.

So now I'm sure the algorithm hates my account. They're like, look at this vile offensive human being. Let's make sure to show his post to no one. Ugh. The Internet's so stupid.

Poppy on k Bear. Catcher live in Salt Lake City on Sunday. I'll be at the show. Ben from the advocate's gonna be at the show, and I'm even bringing along Joey the whole Calabato. Yeah.

We got quite the crew heading down for that one. So if you're gonna be there, come say hello. I should be fairly easy to spot. You know what I look like. Right?

If you see me, say hi. Very excited to get out of town with my homies and enjoy what should be a pretty awesome show this weekend. Yeah. You gotta do something to make up for having to wake up today at what felt like 4AM. Oh, I know.

I know. I complained enough about daylight saving time last week. We all get it. We don't need to hear more about it. No, come on.

I wanna let you know I'm on your side on this. Today sucks. The time change sucks. We need to just stop the, the madness. Alright?

Stop the insanity. Can this be the last time? It was funny. I posted about this last week. I actually had to block somebody on Facebook because they got so hostile toward me with my post about Daylight Saving Time.

I thought it was a very reasonable post. K? All I said was, you know, if our local politicians can pass law after law like they've been doing for the past six weeks and based on the feedback I see on social media, most of the things they're doing, nobody wants anyway. If they can do all of that, if they can put forth bills that say, you know, the governor can veto ballot initiatives because we're not educated or that, you know, they can pass bills that say we can never vote on certain things. If they can do all of that, they could definitely make daylight saving time permanent or do away with it altogether.

Make regular time permanent. I don't care which one. Alright? It doesn't have much bearing on me because no matter what, I go to work when it's dark out. K?

Either or. They've made it very clear they have the ability to do whatever they want. So why do they year after yeah, this time we're gonna make daylight saving time permanent? They said it again this year. They just said it.

Yeah. Yeah. We're gonna make it permanent. Believe it when I see it. Daylight saving time is very dangerous.

Alright? In the days following, springing forward, higher incidence of car accidents, strokes, and heart attacks, there are more fatal overdoses. People with migraines are at greater risk of getting injured at work. One study even found that IVF patients were more likely to experience a spontaneous pregnancy loss. Yeah.

This messes people up. I think that they know this messes us up. I know. I'm I'm being a bit of a naysayer here. Usually, I'm an optimist.

Not today. I think they like throwing us off kilter. Yeah. The government. They know it messes with us.

Otherwise I mean, there's no reason for daylight saving time. Zero. Other than, like, oh, I don't want my kids to have to go to school when it's dark outside. Get over it. People in Alaska put up with, like, a month straight where the sun doesn't come out.

Their kids go to school just fine. K? Get over it. Okay. Daylight saving time rant done.

But, yeah, get a hold of your local politicians. I thought about calling them on the show, but I I didn't know. Yeah. We got a new GM. I don't wanna make them mad right out of the gate.

Just start blowing up the phones. Hey. Listen, so and so. Get rid of the time change. It would be fun.

Would be fun to start calling them. I doubt they're picking up phones. I mean, they aren't even going out and doing, like, the the town hall meetings anymore. So highly doubtful that they're gonna pick up the phone, but you can leave them a message. Alright.

We'll be back in a few with freak news and, whatever else. I I got a lot of stuff for the show today. I've just been kinda sitting on it for a while. We'll talk about tool. We'll talk about the last of us two.

A lot of outrage going on. So I'm not the only one frustrated this morning. Getting ready for some freak news here. What up, Peaches? I knew you'd be affected by the time change.

Here you go. Alright. What do we got here? Alani, pink slush. Thanks, Peaches.

You're welcome. Yes. I did manage to get myself to bed at a somewhat reasonable time, but, you know, certainly annoyed and irritable on the day of the time change. Yeah. I did not go to bed till, like, 1AM.

Oh. Yeah. Brutal. I was too worried about getting an email from Jade saying I missed something this morning and all of that. And Oh, you gotta just stay, you know, shake it off on the weekend.

You know? I'm I'm sure I'm gonna get a talking to today. Why? You know, I'll I'll tell you off air. I mean, I I just made a mistake over the weekend.

About a month ago, we got an email about something to, urgent don't do blank. And as I was trying to play catch up on a bunch of mail over the weekend, I, did blank. Cone. And then all of a sudden, it popped in my head like, was there an email about that? Maybe I should check my email.

And then oof. Oh, no. So, yeah. We'll see how mad I made upper level management, you know, above people in this building. Yeah.

Our new GM looks like the type of guy that you do not wanna see mad. He seems like the most easygoing dude. And I know. And so over the weekend, I'm like, oh, great. I did one of the stupidest things imaginable.

I'm I'm just hoping it's not a big deal. Alright. Let's get into some freak news here, peaches. Alright. Let's see.

How close do your parents live to, Simi Valley? I don't know my California geography that well. It's pretty far. Pretty far. Okay.

Well, I know a while back you'd taken a vacation there and how tight money can get. Did you steal a bunch of, safes and ATMs and dump them off in the mountains, peaches? No. My my family's smarter than that. Oh, okay.

You you'd keep them in the basement or in the workshop. We wouldn't steal safes and ATMs. We'd go for something that you could easily take. Easily take. Alright.

You got any tips for theft for listeners pages? Yeah. Don't go into Target and put stuff down your pants and, you know, walk out of there. That that scanners. That that is a good way to get yourself in trouble.

It amazes me anymore that people do get away with shoplifting with, you know, just the sheer number of cameras and technology everywhere. I mean, we see the stories pop up all the time. So and so tried to walk out with a, cart full of electronics and had a friend, you know, spill a bunch of crap as a distraction. Fail. Hey.

That guy's oddly shaped. What's under his shirt? Oh, it's a cute as fuck. Yeah. Yeah.

Precisely. Let's see here. So that happened. I I don't know if these were empty safes and ATMs, but somebody just dumped, like, piles of them off into the mountains there in the Simi Valley. Kinda crazy.

I looked it up. Simi Valley is two hours away from my family. Two hours away. Okay. So yeah.

That's a good way to keep people from thinking it might be you. Right? Mhmm. Dump the stuff really far from home. Yeah.

Definitely. Yeah. I see. Alright. I'm sure you've seen the articles making the rounds about tool from over the weekend.

Yeah. I sent you one yesterday. Yeah. So I've I've been sitting on this one all morning. TOOL made their fans furious over the weekend.

We talked about TOOL's, Tool in the Sand Festival when it was announced. What was it? A few grand, to go attend this two day concert in where where was it? I don't know. Some kind of a tropical paradise.

Dominican Republic. The guy hosting the entire thing was like a yoga hippie. Did you see that? Uh-uh. There was a advertisement I kept getting where it was like, hey.

You wanna come see Tool live on the sand for a tranquil experience? And then and it was this dude with long gray hair and everything. Well, before we get into this tool story, I'm I'm watching the countdown here. So yep. Me too.

I told everybody we'd announce a concert right at 8AM coming to the Mountain America Center, KBAR 1 0 1 presents go for it, peaches. We got seater, nonpoint, and POD. What what's the date on that again? May 18? Let's see here.

That would be May 18. Coming up quick, actually. Yeah. We're about two months out. May 18 at the Mountain America Center.

The surface seems so far tour. That's the name of their, their last album that just came out last year. Yes. So Seether, POD, and Nonpoint. Tickets go on sale Friday, but you can listen for your chance to get some tickets right here on K Baron with them before they even go on sale.

So we're doing a a daily keyword, Peaches? A daily keyword. I came up with five of them over the weekend. So And are we giving those out generally at 7AM? When are we giving them out?

The times to call in? Or The keyword. The keyword? Yes. Where where are we giving it out?

Around 7AM is when we'll give it out. And I'll just say it on air. So you gotta tune in to find out what the keyword is. Yes. We're not posting it on social.

No. Okay. No. We're not posting on social. It might get sent to people's phones who have the Kaver one zero one app.

And then we're gonna ask you to call, and you have to tell us what the keyword is. Yes. Okay. What's today's keyword? Let me look this up, actually.

Alright. While Peaches looks at the keyword, I'll again reiterate that Seether POD and Nonpointe are coming to the Mountain America Center on Sunday, May 18, and we're hooking up tickets before you can buy them. Listen for the daily keyword. Tune in to my show at about 07:00, seven zero five ish every morning. I'll give you the keyword.

And then when we tell you to call, be the first person. So first person who can call and tell the keyword you win tickets to the show before they even go on sale. The keyword today is remedy. Remedy. Remedy.

Like the Seether song. Yeah. Okay. So at some point today between 6AM and 7PM, we're gonna be like, alright. Call now.

First person who can tell us the keyword, you win tickets to Seether POD and non point at the Mountain America Center. Keywords again, remedy for today. So at some point I don't know. Could be me. Could be Peaches.

Could be both of us. Could be Lou. No. I'm kidding. It can't be.

It could be. Actually, it could be. It could be Lou. Would it be told told people to call in on a nationally syndicated program? We we could have Lou throw the, throw the call out.

I don't know. It's it's kinda late on eastern time when his show kicks off. But, anyway, that's the show. And, since we've already barreled into the 08:00 hour, we'll get into the Toole story after we play one more song. But, we're gonna go make some social posts about the show.

Alright. Let's talk about my favorite band, TOOL, and how they infuriated fans over the weekend. I mean, this is a show I would not have attended simply because of the price. We looked at it and it was like, woah. What if you were able to go for free though?

Would you would you have enjoyed it though? Oh, dude. To go to one of those islands on the beach? Okay. I mean, if I was rich, I would go.

You know? If I had all the money in the world, sure. The funniest part about that article that I sent you was that they used AI to recreate Maynard singing into the microphone. Why? I I don't know.

I guess they didn't have put pictures of the footage because, you know, Tool doesn't allow cell phones at their show. So they they they had a guy who looked like Steve from Blue's Clues now with the glasses and the bald head singing into the microphone. That's bizarre. Yeah. There's plenty all you gotta do is give attribution to the image.

You know? Hey. Photo by blank. And you could there's I mean It said there on the bottom of the article, parentheses, photo by AI. Okay.

Yeah. Alright. Whatever. Yeah. I mean, there are thousands of photos of Maynard out there.

So, anyway, Toole had this big Toole in the Sand Festival over the weekend, and it looked pretty awesome. I mean, he had tons of great bands like Primus, Mastodon, Eagles of Death Metal, Coheed and Cambria. And the first night sounds like it went awesome. Now tickets to this thing were thousands of dollars. I don't even remember the exact amount, but thousands of dollars.

And it was advertised as two unique sets from Tool, which as a Tool fan to do two nights in a row of Tool with two different sets, that sounds killer to me. You know what I think it is? I I think Maynard and the rest of the band wanted a nice island vacation. So, like, yeah, we'll do a performance. And then they're like, you know what?

We'll just go out there and do whatever we want to. And that's what they did. And that's what they did. Now tickets to this event, you couldn't buy tickets for just one day. You had to buy the full experience.

So every single person at this show was going to be there for all I I guess it was three nights. Sorry. Toole played two nights, but everyone who attended was there for every night of the show. So Toole comes out. First night, they play an awesome set.

Everybody was stoked. They played, let's see. Where did my set list go here? First night, stink fist, fear inoculum, Rosetta Stone, Pneuma, Jombi, Skizm, the grudge, flood, invincible, vicarious. As a tool fan, that's an awesome set list.

I'd be stoked if that was a set list I got at a show. So then they come out on night two and immediately open the show with fear inoculum, a song they played the night before. So the fans are kinda like, what what's going on? I thought we were getting two unique sets because that's what the advertisement said. I saw people sharing the ticket package links where it said two unique sets.

So after that, they played Anima. They're like, okay. Alright. Well, maybe they just needed to warm up. Up.

So they came out with free inoculum. No. Right after that, three songs in a row from the night before. Rosetta Stone, Pneuma, and Jombi in the same order as the night before. And the fans booed Toole I mean I have never seen video of Toole fans booing the band did someone capture it on video?

Oh yeah I might need to watch that on youtube I would play the clip but there was also, in addition to booing, other choice language. And this was from people right at the front of the stage. Oh. So the band heard it. The band heard it for sure.

And then they played you know a few songs they didn't play the night before and I'm seeing fans try to defend this like hey you know we still got half of the second set you know they still played five song they only played four songs they played the night before but here's the thing with tool peaches tool songs are really lot really long they played forty five minutes of material they played the night before It wouldn't be the same as if you went and saw, I don't know, Green Day and they played four songs from the night before. Alright. Twelve minutes. Okay. Big deal.

It was, you know, half of the set because tool sets are usually like nine songs because their songs are so long. I would be furious if I was a Tool fan at that show, you know, paying that kind of money. It's crazy to see Tool getting booed, but they deserve it. I mean, I am a huge Tool fan, but they definitely do things that make me angry like the, ridiculously priced merch. They're the worst.

They sell every type of merch imaginable and for prices that I mean, if you buy it off their website, it's just as bad as if you buy it at a concert. Most bands, you can buy the merch a little bit cheaper off their website at least, not TOOL. They do seem kind of, money hungry. You know? So that's pretty messed up.

I'm so glad I didn't, take out a a a loan on my house to go to this show. Do you think they're down bad, or do you think they just want the the most they can get? You know what I think happened here is I think Tool, you know, wasn't heavily involved in setting up this show. I think that they were probably unaware that the crowd was there for the whole weekend. I I bet they thought it was something where you could buy like most festivals, you can buy a ticket to a a single day.

I bet the band's so just out of the, setup process for this because Maynard came out on stage and was like, how many of you were here last night? And it was everybody. He act so either the band was trolling the crowd or they were just unaware. And I'm guessing they were unaware because it seems seems like they wouldn't wanna make their fans mad who spent that kind of money. I I would hope you're better to your fans than that.

That's that's pretty bad. So they did change the set list stuff after people started booing but I guess it goes to show you know if something seems too good to be true sometimes maybe save the thousands of dollars. I mean, don't you get a sweet island vacation with that? You do. You do.

So that's what another way fans were trying to justify it was like, hey, man. We got a free concert with our vacation. Like, no. I did the ticket price was definitely included. You could go on a week long vacation with your family for the price.

I I remember the ticket price on those. It was crazy. I've gone on vacation before, and I I've gone on vacation for a week to LA or, you know, Vegas. What was this? The Maldives or The Bahamas?

In the, Dominican Republic. Okay. So yeah. I I mean, I I ain't gonna try to justify anything from Tool's end on this. It's pretty messed up, you know, to give fans forty five minutes of and those are all great songs.

I'd be happy to hear I I saw Tool, basically back to back in Boise and Idaho Falls, and it was essentially the same set list. But you kinda know that if you're going to a show on the same tour. You're basically gonna get the same thing. They didn't promise a different show every night on tour. So anyway, good luck to, Tool crawling your way out of the, the abyss on this one.

I I I think you're gonna have a tough time getting fans on your side. The worst Monday of the year, post time change. Yuck. Well, hey. There seem to be people optimistic in my Facebook comments that it's gonna be the last time we have to deal with this.

Sure. Alright. Let's talk about other things that people are outraged about aside from having to wake up at what feels like an hour earlier than usual today. Let's talk about The Last of Us part two, divisive since release. And this is just sad.

One of the actors in the upcoming season is preparing in advance for the chaos and outrage that they're expecting to have unleashed upon her by the viewers of the show. Do people not understand that actors play characters and that the characters are not real? No. Because people are stupid. When this game was released, this particular character, the actor who played her in the video game, received death threats.

Death threats for what happens with her character in a video game. An animated character. That is how stupid some fans of this series are. Alright. Now, I've talked about Last of Us part two outrage a few times over the years, because again, like I said, it was controversial at the time of release.

And I mean, I've read the complaints. I don't agree with them whatsoever. I understand when a story doesn't just feed you sunshine and rainbows. Some people aren't very good at handling that, but the story is, as far as video games go, certainly one of the best told stories in the history of the video game entertainment medium. An actor in a TV show should not have to preemptively get ready for average.

You would think the are are they predicting that people who haven't played the game are going to behave in the same way as those who had a bunch of, problems with the video game when it was released are going to? I don't know. I I would think or I'd like to think the average TV viewer is not as unhinged as some gamers, but I've read the comments on other TV shows when the story didn't go how people wanted it to. And boy, this, everything revolves around me mentality. It's so annoying and so stupid.

So, anyway, The Last of Us season two gonna be popping back up on Max in about a month. HBO Max, April 13. And I gotta say we should have zero patience for anybody who behaves in a horrible way toward an actor in a show because of what happens in the show. K? If you wanna lash out at celebrities, do it when they're behaving like pieces of garbage in real life.

K? This is entertainment, people. So crazy. Are you sure you want the role? I guess.

Well, you know, people are gonna be really mean to you. What? What? Yeah. People are crazy.

People are crazy. I look forward to seeing all the backlash. My main concern is that they're going to change the show and change the story because of that stupid backlash that happened when the game was released. It's a masterpiece of a story. Yeah?

Just let it be. If you don't like a story, you can move along with your life. K? Alright. Anyway, I'm stoked.

April 13. Can't wait for the last of a season two. I highly doubt that any of our listeners would engage in such behavior because you're all, you know, very reasonable people. You're the best. If you're listening to this show, I highly doubt you're gonna throw on a chicken onesie, take a bunch of drugs, go out wandering the streets and screaming at people.

Where was this? It doesn't really say. Well, anyway, we got a man here in a chicken suit being arrested, for all of the activities I described. He was just wandering around the neighborhood in a chicken onesie. Pupils very big screaming and yelling at passing vehicles.

I didn't watch the ten minute body cam video because I ain't got 10 times to watch a guy, you know, just, loaded chicken man here. But I just figured I'd let you know that cops don't like that. Okay? I don't know what kind of a charge you ended up getting disturbing the peace at bare minimum, But you're also gonna make national news for this. You gotta think about this before your stupid decisions end up coming back to haunt you.

You don't want every media source around the country talking about you on a Monday. K? And that's what's going on with Chicken Man here. K? He does not look like he's having a very good time.

Some of the comments are kind of funny, though. Oh, I see why he, you know, was freaking out. The, EMT looks a lot like Colonel Sanders. Alright. The the guy has a white beard.

Doesn't mean he looks like Colonel Sanders. K? You gotta have the, the hair to match. That guy's got a shaved head. I don't know.

Maybe if Colonel Sanders was getting with the times, you know, going for a modern 2025 look, shave the head, go for the bald with, beard. But not yet. Not as far as I've seen on any of the KFC signs that you encounter driving down the roadway. Anyway, good luck to Chicken Man. I have a feeling, he's, you know, wake up in jail and not be very happy, especially when he sees the YouTube numbers on his dash cam video.

Or I guess it's body cam. Dude, come on. It's it's too early, Jade. Why are you No. It's not.

It's too early for you to just show up and give me a big pile of work. Why do you think I made the weekend shorter just so I could yell at you some more and make you come back to work earlier? Ugh. And I have an aggravating enough weekend. Yep.

That's all my choice that I implemented a hundred years ago. I knew someone that I knew was to blame. Well, I didn't attach you to this email over the weekend. I did something really dumb work related. Well, that's just a given because you're you're just dumb.

Well, generally, I'm I'm not like peaches. I try to check out from work on the weekend, you know, just to tune out and pay no attention to work. But I decided to be productive this weekend. So, I got all this paperwork together to deal with my taxes. That worked out better than last year, so that was nice.

This year, instead of, getting a big tax bill that I have to work out a payment plan with the worst interest rates of all time to pay off the IRS, this year, they're just gonna take my entire tax refund and apply it to the debt I owe them. So at least I get to square away that debt. Right? Yay. I love tax time.

So They they get to take all the time they want when it comes to them owing us money, but when you owe them money. Well, hey. Elon Musk is gonna give us each $5,000, Jade. I saw it in the news. I could use $5,000.

Dude, I I would take $5,000 in a second. But, my faith in us getting $5,000 a piece, is pretty low. It's pretty low. You know how I feel about government promises. They only seem to follow through on the ones that nobody wants.

So okay. So I dealt with that paperwork and I was like, oh, look at this big stack of, mail that I've just been putting off dealing with for a while. One of those pieces of mail was something we got an email here at work about about a month ago. Mhmm. And, so I remembered reading this email, but I was like, oh, yeah.

There was an email about, you know, certain cards. I bet it was, Please tell me you wouldn't maxed it out. Well, I I didn't, utilize any type of spending with this, but the email was very clear. Like, you have to take the time to go into your email and make the font, larger. Mhmm.

Urgent. Don't activate this. And I remembered seeing an email about something Oh, I even sent you that. Like that. Yeah.

But it had been a month. You know, it'd been a month, and I'm like, oh, look at all this stuff that I didn't get done. I better hurry up and activate this. So I had after I got all done and, like, got the app and everything and set it up and everything's working, I'm like Wait a tick. Maybe I should double check my email and see what they actually said about this.

And, so I had to email Rhonda over the weekend and be like, I'm dumb. Did you did you put it in big bold letters that you have to zoom in to see? I I should've. I should've. But, I was just like, oh, this is embarrassing, and I'm kinda stupid.

But, you know how you told us very specifically to not do blank? Well, that's what I just did. So, thankfully, I guess it was no big deal. But I I was stressing about it all weekend. Like, we just got a new GM last week, and I can't follow instructions.

Weird. Yeah. It all That's why we're having a meeting at 10:30. Hey. At least because you can't follow instructions.

I know how to use that particular what do you call it? It's not software necessarily, but I know how to use it. These slackers around here, I could use that time to well, actually, I don't know today because, apparently, the day after the time change, everything's broken. So Yeah. I don't know.

We don't know what I'm gonna do today. I got plenty for you. Oh, I shouldn't have said that, Jade, I'm I'm very busy. Very, very busy. Alright.

I have a tip for you. I know we've got a few people in the community who drive Cybertrucks. You know, shout out again to the person who brought one by, what, a year or so ago? Let me, take it for a spin. That was pretty cool.

Well, anyway, if you drive a Cybertruck, you should probably not put it in a parade, especially a parade that's packed with drunk people like Mardi Gras. I'm sitting here watching a video of this Cybertruck just get pelted with garbage and rocks and all kinds of things. And they're stuck in the parade so they can't just leave. If you've been living under a rock for the last, I don't know, six weeks, There are a lot of people out there right now who are not happy with Elon Musk. So, you know, again, I don't think it's reasonable whatsoever to take out your frustrations with Elon Musk by vandalizing the property of others.

K? People who are driving Cybertrucks are not assisting in implementing policy right now. They're just driving a vehicle. But if you do drive one, you just might wanna be aware that the risk of somebody vandalizing your vehicle has certainly increased in the last six weeks. And I'm sorry, but it should be a no brainer when it comes to, places you should not take your Cybertruck that a parade where you can't escape might be one of the worst places you could go.

I know these vehicles are hard to damage. That was one of the selling points. So I think the people inside of the vehicle are are fine. But when people start chucking stuff at your vehicle, sometimes they throw gross things. K?

And, you know, there's just certain things that I don't wanna see hit the windshield of my vehicle. So maybe avoid the parades, especially, again, parades that are packed with drunk people who may not be making the most rational decisions when they see something annoying pass them by while they're all hammered up. Oh, my hand. I mean, come on. The driver wasn't really surprised.

Right? Maybe. Maybe. I see a lot of people surprised by a lot of things right now that I just shake my head and go, alright. I guess you just don't pay attention.

But, anyway, good luck. You might want to if you're driving a Tesla vehicle, do like many drivers are doing and swap out the emblem on the back. Put put, you know, a nice Ford logo, something like that. People are irrational. Again, I don't think there is any excuse to be vandalizing people's property because you don't like, you know, the person who made said property.

But people are irrational. So be careful out there. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show. This program is a production of Riverbend Media Group to contact the show or for more information, hit us upriverbendmediagroup dot com.
