#0157 - Snakes & Super Pigs - 02/17/2025

Let's get you out of bed. There could be a snake in your pillow. I just watched video of a snake catcher pulling a snake out of somebody's pillow. Now, of course, this was in Australia. Alright.

So it's not often that around here we hear of snakes being found in people's beds, but there are snakes around here. K? So I just wanna let you know there could be a snake in your pillow. That is just horrifying. You know, last night as I was tossing and turning, trying to get to sleep, you know how thoughts just kinda rocket through your head?

For some reason, at one point, I remember thinking, what if a spider all of a sudden just ran across my face? Like, why why think that as you're trying to get to sleep? Now I'm gonna be thinking about, oh, there might be a snake in my pillowcase. Right. I mean, I've got cats around.

Hopefully, they would sense that kind of life, try to keep me safe, attack the snake. But cats don't really like snakes. You know, if you put a cucumber behind a cat out of their peripheral vision, they think it's a snake, freaks them out. No. I mean, I wouldn't do that.

It's not very nice. I've never tried that prank on my cats because I don't like to bully them. But, yeah, I don't know if I could rely on my cats to protect me from a snake that's in my pillowcase. I got no idea. Anyway, glad that story was in Australia.

And, if you're just getting up and you're in bed, just think about it. Your pillowcase is slithering. Yeah. Just kind of moving around. Ugh.

Grody. Alright. I don't know how people keep getting scammed by fake online celebrities, scammed into giving them tons of money. These stories pop up like weekly, yet people still keep getting duped. There's a show on Netflix called Virgin River.

And apparently, one woman who was a fan of this show lost $375,000 over two years after being tricked into believing she was in a relationship with actor Martin Henderson, who plays Jack Sheridan on the Netflix series. So she's a woman from New Zealand named Leah, and, I guess she took out loans to cover all kinds of insane costs, like, private jet, fake flights, Bitcoin transfers, and gift cards. Oh, she wasn't even a New Zealand resident. She moved from The US to New Zealand, convinced she was starting a new life with the actor. It's ultimately a sad story.

You know, there's a lot of lonely people out there and you know, loneliness is not not great. Alright. You know when you get a little bit desperate And you're just, by yourself I guess hope, you know can take you a long ways $375,000. Holy cow. So, it started off by her receiving a message from her Facebook page or on her Facebook page from someone claiming to be Martin's agent saying he liked her comments, wanted to talk to her.

They hit it off, and next thing you know, you know, all kinds of, chatting going on, planning for their simpler life, planning to get married and have three children, and it was just a scammer. Three hundred seventy five grand. Jeez. So please, talk to your your family members. You got anybody who's, lonely in your family?

Any of your friends? Just make sure they're not chatting with celebrities online. Could end up being, you know, totally fake. Jeez. Anyway, I'll let you know what celebrity, duped somebody out of hundreds of thousands of dollars again next week.

But, this week, it was that guy. Must be a pretty good show. Haven't seen it. Alright. You kids might be up bright and early, getting ready for school, trying to plot out your future.

Let's talk about professions that are likely to be wiped out in the next decade. Yeah. Sometimes you gotta change your plan. Yeah. Nothing worse than getting into a dying industry right at the end.

Take it from me. No. I I think radio will be okay for a bit at least for those of us who have, like, 10,000,000 jobs in it. I hope I can make it for a while. Anyway, let's see.

According to the internet, the following professions likely to get wiped out in the next five to ten years. This person says I used to do court transcription. Basically, I download an audio file and type what's spoken in the courtroom verbatim. Now the industry has been trying to implement speech to text software for years, but it's been too crap up until recently. I've since upskilled to an editor where instead of typing manually, I corrected the generated transcript.

Yeah. Voice to text has gotten really good. So I could imagine give it a little bit more time. I mean, you're well, you're still gonna need somebody to double check it because it well, I can't imagine it being perfect. However, no person is perfect either.

How many times you heard me go, what? What'd you say? Yeah. I can understand people. Not a job I'm gonna be able to get.

I use the subtitles. Not because I can't hear. I just can't understand. Everything sound like the, the peanuts parents. Alright.

What other jobs should you probably not shoot for here? Okay. Automated driving. Now this person says about ten years ago, there were similar questions being asked about truck driving. People thought driverless trucking was gonna happen soon.

They put a bunch of investment money into places working toward the tech, but, they're feeling like it's kind of been bailed on. I I would imagine that driverless trucking is gonna become a much bigger thing. I I would think. No. I I don't know.

I mean, with any of these, I don't know. So if you're thinking of getting into truck driving. Again, this is all just garbage information I found online. Don't just take it at face value. Victor Wilt says I shouldn't get into trucking.

I didn't say that. Somebody online brought up the fact that automated trucking, it it's something that's being discussed. I've seen the, pictures of, you know, AI controlled 18 wheelers. Let's see here. I work as a master control operator.

Basically, one of the people that monitors and edits the playlist that send TV programming to air. Alright. This is in my kind of realm here. Monitor for graphics, closed captioning, audio video, and also serve as emergency recovery if the video or audio goes haywire. So this is very similar to, radio operation.

They also roll the commercial breaks for any live programming. They got somebody manually running commercial breaks. I mean, we've got an automated system here. If I decide I've had it, I can't take it anymore. I'm out of here, and I just walk out the door.

The station will continue operating. You won't hear my yapping. Might be the best day ever for some of you, but I I would assume TV's gotta be automated the same way. They don't have somebody sitting there manually running commercial breaks twenty four seven. Right?

So this guy should actually be probably happy. He's still got a job. Says, recently started new using a new on air system that has some strange kinks in it when it comes to live programming. Doesn't seem to be designed for rapid in the moment adjustments. Yeah.

Yeah. I I could imagine that as well. When they asked the engineers about it, they said they designed the program with stations that do not have a live operator in mind. TV behind radio on this one. I'm I'm very kinda surprised by this.

So, anyway, yeah, we used to have board operators. Like, if we did a live broadcast, this is actually how I got my start in radio was being a board operator. You know, Howie Rock would be out broadcasting live somewhere, and I would come in here and, you know, control everything that he had going on out, you know, in the community. Now we can just do it with our cell phone. We don't need a board operator back in the room.

We can control every every aspect of it. So that position, board operator, done. My start in radio, I probably wouldn't have been able to do it because the job does not exist. You know, radio is a very fun job, but I I don't know what what you gotta do to get into the biz now. You probably need to start a podcast or something.

Get your skills up, really good And then just apply for those positions that, all the other people in radio have been, fed up with and pushed out of the biz, and you might you might have a shot. I don't know. Again, I hope I hope the biz lasts long enough for me to make it to the end. Alright. Well, we might look at more jobs that may be going away here in a few.

I wanna help you make good life decisions if I can. Alright. Let's see what's going on at eastidahonews.com. Yeah. I've, I've been pondering what I'm gonna do after work today because I don't wanna do much of anything.

Monday, the perfect day to order out some food. Looks like East Idaho News posted about a newer restaurant in Idaho Falls last week. AJ's Place, if you haven't been in here before. It's been a a few different businesses over the years, but AJ's has been open for a while now. Opened back in April, '15 '60 Lindsay Boulevard, Idaho Falls.

Looking at the pictures of the food here. I mean, when you got Build A Burger, you're calling in Victor Wilt. Yeah. They also have, you know, chicken sandwiches and zucchini sticks. They got a bar.

They got just about everything, as well as a family friendly environment. So a great place to bring the kids in for a night of entertainment and dinner. Yeah. They have live bands and stuff. Pretty cool place.

AJ's. And if you don't wanna deal with cooking today, which, yeah, I think I'm gonna do as little as possible, maybe I'll swing by there. Get some food to go. If you wanna check out the article, go to features at East Idaho News Dot Com and you can find the latest article about AJ's Place and, take a look at the at the environment and food for yourself. There you go.

Give it a look. Morning Morning, and welcome to the Victor Wilt program today. Happy Monday to you. I hope it's going great. Mine's going alright other than, you know, the usual on a Monday.

Wishing I was sleeping instead. But, no, what am I up to? Scrolling Facebook. Why? I don't know.

It's not a place to find content. Was kind of funny, though, as I was scrolling, one of my Facebook friends. I won't say who, but, you know, kind of went on a, political run last night, bunch of, political posts. And one of them mentioned, you're probably not gonna see this because you know, Facebook, when it comes to politics, Like, have you looked at Facebook in the last few weeks? It's all politics.

Yeah. Ever since, Zuck came out and was like, alright. I guess we're gonna start posting news again. Well, I'm not seeing a lot of news aside from politics, but that's my entire feed. Oh, nightmarish.

And I almost dove in and was like, alright. I'm gonna say something, but I I give up. I get up. There there's no there is no change in the minds of some people. You know how no matter how far in the face of logic some viewpoints are, we're just not gonna be able to change anybody's views anymore.

I'm just gonna have to put my head in the sand and hope for the best. But, yes, if you're worried about your posts being seen on Facebook, post something political. Just make one sentence in your post, something relating to politics, and everybody's going to see it because that is clearly the priority topic being pushed by the Facebook algorithm right now. So you social media people out there, if you're wanting to boost your posts up a bit, just throw in, you know, a politician name or, I don't know, a few keywords that you probably see in news headlines all the time. Just, you know, pick one out, throw it in your post somewhere, and, yeah, if you need to get the message out about maybe a community fundraiser or something, you you just gotta throw a little bit of politics in it.

Alright? Because Facebook is loving it even if the rest of us are getting sick of it. But that's, that's how it's been for what? The last year? You always hope that after the election is over, like, okay.

Now we can move on and we're not gonna have to deal with all this, you know, pummeling of political garbage. No. Not in not in this day and age. People are obsessed. So, anyway, I don't know where I'm gonna go to dig up content, but it's certainly not Facebook today.

Yeah. And, I think I'm gonna avoid starting arguments because it it doesn't go anywhere. It's a waste of effort. Alright. Earlier on the show, I talked about a snake wrangler finding a snake in someone's pillow.

Yeah. You know, very bothersome as you get rolling for the day, but it could be worse. You know, finding a snake in your pillow might not end up with you being bitten. You know, you you can generally I would think just kind of run away. Run away screaming in terror, and it's gonna wake you up for the day.

Hopefully leaving you uninjured unlike, you know, potentially sitting on the toilet and having it just explode. Now this didn't happen in someone's home. Happened while they were at work. Another reason why you should always just use your home restroom. K?

For some people, it's like clockwork. Show up. Park in that bathroom for thirty minutes while other people are like, come on. Hurry up. You're stinking up the place.

Why don't you do that at home? Well, maybe if every once in a while a toilet blew up, people might change their tune and only use them in, you know, emergency situations for that kind of thing. So this was in, Pittsburgh at a government building. Yeah. This guy, well, we won't get into the grisly details, but toilet blew up while he was sitting on it.

And I guess it had something to do with a plumbing fixture failing. What does that mean? What part of the plumbing fixture failed? How do we, how do we ensure this doesn't happen to the rest of us? What plumbing parts do we need to look at to ensure that toilets don't explode when we sit down to use them?

I think that's the most important information and they don't have it in the article. Was it a frozen pipe? I I don't know. But, hey. If you started your morning without having your toilet explode, you should be having a pretty good day.

Alright. Monday edition. Let's dive in and see what's happening in the world of stupid today. Okay. Super pigs.

Alright. The headline was why US Ranchers and farmers are alarmed about Canada's destructive super pigs. How about because they're super pigs? Wild hogs that have gone beyond just being wild hogs, and now they're super pigs. What makes them so super?

Well, I guess they're big, smart, and prolific breeders, and they're just spreading out of control. Okay. They'll eat anything to survive. They tear up land and reproduce quickly with devastating consequences to ranchers and farmers. Alright.

Well, we don't have to worry about them here yet, right? No. I saw one of these, maps about wild pigs a while back. They're coming our way. Mainly a problem down south for now.

Wait. These are Canadian Canadian super pigs. That means they're super close. Right? Alright.

Anyway, Montana has launched a squeal on pigs campaign urging anyone who has seen, wild pigs to alert officials. Squeal on pigs. It's pretty funny. I'm gonna have to talk to, my homie lieutenant Crane about this, campaign on Friday during traffic school powered by the advocates. Lieutenant Crane, man.

We got this program going on here yet, Where we tattle on pigs? Snitches for pigs. Alright. Anyway, speaking of, wild, beasts that maybe we need to be a little bit concerned with, American crocodiles thriving in Florida's nuclear power plant cooling canals. Yeah.

Just bring it on, mutant crocodiles. Sure. Sure. I no. I'm sure, but that's actually something we don't really need to worry about.

I would assume these cooling sites are not pumping these crocodiles full of, mutating radiation. Right? Okay. Anyway, what else do we have here? Bronx bodegas selling single eggs because of soaring prices.

I don't think that's that weird. Right? I've walked into a gas station and seen in a hard boiled egg for sale, but I would assume these are raw eggs. Three eggs for $3, which they say is better than paying $12 for one carton. No.

It's not. It's the same rate. That's what sucks about, being poor. You know? Like, what what item was I looking at recently?

It was medicine. I was at, Walgreens, and I was looking at, nasal spray, Flonase. Alright? Helps out during the dry season, dealing with allergies. Now you could buy four bottles of Flonase, you know, the generic brand for it was like $40 or something and these were for the, the double size bottles or if you bought one of the regular size bottles like $15 just another way that poor people get screwed over yeah the people who can afford to buy in bulk save a bunch of dough Anyway, sorry.

I was the the cost of everything has me aggravated. I was at the, grocery store over the weekend and I got all excited for a minute because I saw, like, I think it was 12 packs of soda. I'm like, oh, woah. They've come down in price a little bit. But then I kept wandering through the grocery store.

Like, okay. One item on sale doesn't mean that, prices are coming down. Dang it. Yeah. The ice cream bars that I, you know, thankfully can't afford to buy anymore that I really enjoy those Biscoffs.

Yeah. Yeah. They've gotten to be so stupid priced. I I don't even have to worry about the urge anymore. I'm like, yeah.

Not worth it. Okay. Sorry. It's Monday morning. People don't need to be reminded about, the price of everything, but, yeah, I'm just trying to get by here.

Well, trying to figure out what's happened for breakfast. Oatmeal it is. That's still sort of cheap. Right? How drunk can a Florida man get?

Pretty drunk. Alright. Pretty hammered. This guy in Florida wrecked his car outside of a seven eleven, ran into a pole, and then he got out and he just sat on the ground, but he wasn't wearing any pants. Number one, to leave your home with no pants, Unless intentional, I would assume you gotta be fairly, fairly intoxicated.

See if we got a blood alcohol level out of this guy. Does not appear oh, there we go. Jeez. Yeah. Point two six o.

Significantly over the legal limit. That might explain the, the lack of pants. Don't drink and drive people. Okay. If you are prone to leaving your home, even with pants while you're all hammered, you need a babysitter or you might need a treatment program.

Okay? You can end up on a list for walking around with no pants, a list you don't wanna be on. Okay? Talk about the worst hangover ever. Oh, geez.

Waking up in jail. You're on the national news, the no pants guy. And in addition to your regular charges, now you're again on the list. Mhmm. I mean, it's Florida, man.

Nothing should be surprising when it comes to Florida, man. But, yeah, if you got a friend like that, I don't know. Chain them down when they're drinking the booze and encourage them to get some help. Morning, my peeps. What's happening?

It's the Victor Will Chill. It's Monday, sadly. I don't know. You might have the day off. A lot of people got the day off today.

However, this guy, nope. I'm here doing it live. So if you need to get ahold of me, (208) 535-1015, the number to call. I'm sitting in the seat, doing my thing, digging up new tunes for the week. Yeah.

Lots of, new music dropping as of late. Kinda curious to see what's gonna happen with the band Nirvana, though. Lots of buzz making the rounds after Post Malone joined them at the Saturday Night Live fiftieth anniversary thing, which aired last night. You know, why they did it on a, Sunday when it's Saturday night live. I don't know.

But, anyway, Post Malone, he couple years ago, did a really cool set of Nirvana songs from his house. I was pretty impressed. Didn't expect much, but I thought he did a great job. I have not yet watched the video of him performing on the Saturday night live, show from last night. However, Stewart told me it was really good.

He called to remind me that this had happened. And now there's a quite a bit of speculation, like I said, going around about maybe the band doing some touring. I would imagine that would be a pretty big money maker that sounds like a stadium tour to me and with all of the potential money on the table and how much artists love to charge for tickets nowadays I mean Dave Grohl don't need the dough. He's doing all right. Post Malone don't need the dough but hey you can never have enough money right?

Yeah. Need more millions. How would it be? Anyway, if we get any more updates on that, I'll let you know. But I can update you on a show that is happening here in East Idaho.

We got our first rock show of 2025 announced and it's going down at the Port Of Hell Trust Amphitheater in Pocatello, August First. If you're into punk and that whole scene, this is gonna be a blast. Dropkick Murphy's and Bad Religion with the mainliners. August first at the Port And Peltrose Amphitheater. What, day of the week's that?

I'm curious. Oh, Friday night. Friday night at the Port Of Hell Trust Amphitheater, August First. That's a great lineup. Dropkick Murphy's when they played at the arena, they they were a blast.

They were a total blast and bad religion. I mean, it's been a long time since I saw them perform. It would have been a like a warp tour or something a long time ago. So that's a pretty fun lineup. Pretty stoked.

If you want more details, check out the Porton Of Health Trust Amphitheater Facebook page. Get the scoop there on, tickets and such but it's gonna be a lot of fun. So there we go. Finally, getting a rock show announced here in East Idaho. Hopefully, we start hearing about a bunch more, but I'm pretty stoked.

There you go. Not too bad for Monday morning news. Hope you're a little bit more energized than me today. I don't know. Maybe it was all that snow I dealt with over the weekend.

I've got the blinds closed here, so I don't know what's going on outside. I did see more snow in the forecast for today. Yuck. Yuck. Not fun.

Alright. At least it's mid February, so we only have a few more months of winter to go. Alright. Well, what else is going on around here? I I was kinda wasting time scrolling through Reddit, you know, the huge.

And I saw a thread, people who grew up with wealth, what was your I'm privileged wake up call? Now this could potentially be a thread that makes you feel a little bit better about yourself. I think a lot of people don't realize how good they have it. So let's roll through some of these responses and see if, we could perhaps put ourselves in some of these boats here. This user said, when I was a kid, my best friend came to our house for the first time and kept saying, wow.

Wow. He was really impressed that we had two TVs. It embarrassed me enough that I didn't tell him we had four. Yeah. Back in the day, I remember if you had, like, a 27 inch TV when I was young.

Holy cow. Look at that. Look at that big screen. That's crazy. That's a monster TV.

The first time I got a 27 inch TV, I was so pumped. I was pumped beyond belief. What's going on, Peaches? Trying to get stuff done around here. Walking around trying to get answers.

Walking around trying to get answers. Well, good luck. I feel like Zach Bagans is like, I want answers. Why don't you just pick up the phone instead of walking around? I need my steps in too.

Too. You see how fat I am? Okay. Alright. Getting steps in.

That's fair. Well, I was looking at a thread about people who grew up with wealth and what was their I'm privileged wake up call. One guy, it was that his friend came over and was blown away that he had two TVs. You know, I'm trying to make people feel better about themselves. My dad growing up, he, I think his dad was the one that bought he was the first guy to have the microwave in his neighborhood because that was that was a huge thing.

Look at these rich people. Yeah. Look at these rich people. Holy cow. Wow.

Yeah. But you can tell my I I don't know how well off my grandpa was, but they moved from Carson, California to Seal Beach back when those houses were new type of thing. Stop. Because, my uncle Sonny got jumped in Carson and, like, his whole jaw was broken, everything. It broke my jaw.

So they're like, let's move to the new neighborhood. Alright. That's extremely expensive now. Privilege. That's right.

That's what's going on there. Peach is privilege. Peach is privilege. Alright. This person said, at this point, I already knew I was very well off, but after I had gotten laid off for the first time a few years ago, I took a break for about a month before diving into a job search.

I was at the self checkout at the grocery store next to a woman paying with food stamps. I had recently gotten a hundred thousand dollars for my grandmother's inheritance, and it hit me. I'm unemployed, not even trying to find a job, and I just got a boatload of money because someone else died. And she's the one people would, you know, accuse of being a freeloader. Dude.

Again, a lot of people have no idea how good they've got it. You know, there there have been some discussions recently, that I got in online about food stamps. You know? Because when I was young, you know, had little kids and stuff, things didn't even cost anywhere near what they do now. Like, how families are getting by right now, I don't know.

I have no clue, man, after going to the grocery store. But I think that most people who get assistance, they use it for a while to get themselves on their feet and then work themselves up into a better position. Now so you can actually give your kids some quality food because right now, it's cheaper to go buy in many cases, like, just fast food junk Oh, definitely. Than it is to whip up, a nice healthy meal. After buying all those ingredients for the mac and cheese, it it was ridiculous.

I'm like, I might as well just go to Taco Bell, get, like, the Luxe cravings box for $7. Yeah. Totally, dude. Totally. It it's rough right now.

I mean, everybody talking about eggs, but what about all the other stuff? The egg stain is so annoying. I know. There there are certainly worse things than eggs. I bought a $10 bottle of ranch dressing.

$10. It was the big size. But you bought it. You got suckered into it. I know.

Well, I I wanted to try to get the best value and make it last. $10. And that was at Winco. Alright? That's a cheap place.

Exactly. So I don't know what that bottle of ranch would've cost somewhere else, but holy cow. Can you imagine just all of a sudden being given a hundred thousand dollars peaches? I wish. I do.

I wish my grandparents sucked. You know? Thanks thanks, grandpa. Yeah. Yeah.

What's up with that? My grandparents are in well, they left me a little something, but, I mean, it was a little something. Paid some bills. I think my both my grandparents gave it to their kids. It's like, come on, you selfish.

Oh. Selfish. Come on. How dare they? How dare they?

Let's see. This person said, when I was confused about people on Maury complaining their spouse was at the club, and I couldn't figure out what type of country club would let people like that through the front security gate. Wow. Yes. That's when you realize I'm privileged.

Like, I've been to the country club. You can't dress that way and lock in. This is a weird version of, like, you know you're a redneck. It's like for me, it's like, you know you're fat when you think of the club as the club sandwich, not the actual club where you dance for no reason. That reminds me of, they were gonna do I I think it was a ten year high school, reunion for my graduating class and they had booked it at the country club in Pocatello and I'm like What what is this?

The country club? We went to Pocatello high school. Alright? You know, that that's where the the poor kids went. No offense to everyone in Pocatello, but it it's just how it was.

I grew up right across the street from Old Ranch Country Club. And then there was also, like, the old, the Seal Beach Tennis Center and Pickleball courts because they had to change it up and pickleball courts because so many old people were just flocking there to play pickleball. Their wait list is like a year in advance now. Oh, jeez. Yeah.

I was like, you know, if we're gonna do a high school reunion for my school, you know what? We hold it in an alley somewhere. Right. You know? Where everybody used to hang out during lunch.

The Union Pacific parking lot. Sure. K? Yeah. That's where you hold the Pocatello High School reunion.

Something that's, familiar to all the students. I've never even stepped foot in a country club. Look how I dress. Yeah. What do what do you do with the country club, schmooze?

You play golf, I think. Yeah. But I mean, the club part itself, I would assume there's what, a bar? You just eat food? You sit around and yeah.

My friend, Matt, and Christian, and I, we went to the, LA country club and we just ate there. That's all we did. Okay. I got I got some expensive club sandwich and then they got some wings and then we just left. Okay.

Yeah. Never I've never walked into one. I've been to, you know, the PGA championship one time. Have you been to Erewhon at all in Southern California? Is that that fancy grocery store?

Yeah. I'm not. I'm not gonna go there. I'm gonna go there and interview people in in April, I think, and be like, so how much money do you make and why do you shop here? And then see what they have to say.

Because I saw people casually shopping. And I'm talking like four chicken thighs were like 25. Jeez. And the the water that we got, the rose water that we tried from that place, $10. That's ridiculous.

Christian got a $15 smoothie. So I would imagine people either shop there for the novelty like you guys or because they don't wanna be around the riffraff you get at Walmart. Right. They're too good for them. They're they're a part of this thread, you know?

Yeah. They're the ones gonna I went into a grocery store one time and saw normal people. I couldn't believe it. Oh my goodness. I just had the biggest brain fart.

Jeez. I don't know. It's I think we were talking about money or something earlier. I don't remember how I was going to transition into this, but we were gonna take a look at jobs and careers that are recession and depression proof. You know, it can be hard to figure out what you wanna do with your life.

And you don't wanna end up in an industry that all of a sudden you're no longer needed. Now we were talking about jobs earlier that, like, AI had taken over and things like that. Well, what business can you get in if you wanna ensure you're gonna have a job always? Mortician. I don't know.

I could see that being automated. I I really do. I mean, it'll probably be a while, but what jobs can't be automated? The AI overlords, you know, they're gonna take us over eventually, but, a lot of people seem to think that, running a funeral home you're you're always gonna be busy I mean, you've got a guaranteed customer base at least for now Yeah And honestly Do do you think if they figured out a way to make us all like live way longer that it would get out there to the, general public? Probably not You know we we've already got enough problems enough people not being able to get by Imagine you got, you know, people living to, like, three hundred years old.

Jeez. Alright. Let's see. Auto mechanics. Now I think people are going to drive classic vehicles for a long time.

Like me, for example. Can I afford to go buy a car? No. So I'm gonna need a mechanic to fix my truck till the end of days. I I believe.

I think that's gonna be my final vehicle based on the pricing of automobiles I have seen in recent years. I'm stuck with the truck I have, so I'm I'm gonna need a good mechanic. Keep that thing running till the end of my days. You know, eventually, I could see things getting switched over though where, you know, we got machines handling all all this stuff, but I think mechanic or up like a plumber. I think a plumber is gonna be a pretty solid job for a long time, You know?

Because each situation's very different. Getting robots to do this, I just think for general application, it's gonna take a while. Now plumbers, you know, if you talk to them, there's a lot of, unpleasantness in that job. So they deserve the money they get. Yeah.

That's probably a pretty good bet. You know what job I know is not going to pop up on here? My job. If you've heard me talk about the radio business, they'll fire people. You know?

They don't even need a recession. They're just like, hey. Let's cut that bottom line a little bit more. We don't need people. Just put music on.

It's not like there's other places for people to get music. No. We don't need DJs. Let's see here. I would have said government job.

Yeah. You would have. Bad time to be a government employee from what I'm seeing in the news. Hope you're doing okay. Government workers out there.

Alright. Garbage collection, municipal water supply, train engineer, road maintenance, all that hard stuff. Nah. I don't know. We're entering into weird times.

What what's it gonna be in the next decade? Can you imagine what kind of changes we're gonna see with automation and things? Okay. Sorry. Earlier, I was like, I don't need to scare people on a Monday morning talking about people waking up with snakes in their pillows and things like that.

I I really know how to rock Monday, don't I? Hey, everyone. We got problems. Alright. I'll I'll try to find something cheerier for the, next break.

Cool? Cool. Alright. We got Peaches in the house, and he said he had a debate question for me. Yeah.

Were you wondering why exactly I asked the question in the KBAR group? Do you put vegetables, mixed veggies in your mac and cheese? No. You didn't see that question? I did not see that.

I know you've been trying to get off of Facebook in your free time. Well, no. Just Facebook, I talked about this earlier. Now all they push with the algorithm is political stuff. So, yeah, I'm not seeing those kind of posts.

For me, I'm just getting TMZ headlines and people complaining about those and Yeah. They could be political or they could be just about, you know, SNL's fiftieth anniversary and who showed up. Yeah. I saw a little bit of SNL fiftieth anniversary, but other than that, it's all politics. So, anyway, I'm not necessarily for or against veggies in my mac and cheese.

I've done it, and I like it plain as well. So I don't know. If I were to take a big bite of mac and cheese and I taste peas, I'm throwing the whole plate away. I don't know. I think that, you gotta get your veggies peaches.

I can eat my veggies in the separately. I like them by themselves. I don't know. Mac and cheese seems like one of those things you could mix almost anything into. Like, because you Man, you are white.

You were just telling me how you were gonna take part of a pork roast, chuck it in there with some barbecue sauce. Yeah. It doesn't get any whiter than that. Yeah. That's that's not white.

That's That sound pretty white to me. Cheese and mac and cheese. Definitely white. That's almost like putting the raisins in the coleslaw or the tuna salad. That that's gross.

Yeah. I mean, I could eat that too. I talked about the extreme white dishes with my friends last night. We're going like, you know, the the sweet potatoes with the marshmallows on top. That's a huge one.

Anything, ambrosia salad. That right there. Anything casserole like tuna casserole. Yeah. Mac and cheese is a casserole when you put stuff in it.

Dude, don't put stuff in it. Just mac and cheese. Like You make a nice mac and cheese and you dare ruin it. I mean, I can see with broccoli. That's like cheddar broccoli.

But I still wouldn't put that in there. I'd just eat the broccoli on the side. Well, and broccoli and mac and cheese wouldn't be as good as just broccoli covered in cheese. You know? But it would it would still be fine.

I mean, like, yeah, putting barbecued meat and mac and cheese. That's normal? That's more so, like, just a cool combination that you could do. No. I It's not normal.

But, if it tastes good Sure. I I would bet peas don't have a lot of flavor. I bet they'd be fine. But I'm not gonna say, like, carrots, peas, corn, all of this mixed veggies at all and mac and cheese. I I feel like you're just a fat person trying to be healthy.

It's like getting a diet coke with your big burger. Hey. What are you trying to say? I actually recently took a can of mixed veggies and put it in some of the Cheetos mac and cheese, which the Cheetos mac and cheese, I think, is the best. The best boxed mac and cheese.

Oh, you go for the box kind? See, I'm now I'm now an elitist. After making my own roux with the sauce, I'm like, I'm never going for that canned stuff again. Yeah. I'm not gonna, take the time to do that.

Sure. Yeah. Nah. Can't you know, if I if I need some mac and cheese that's a little fancier, don't they have it in the deli at Winco? I'm sure they have it in delis and everything.

Yeah. Macaroni salad that you could get, the giant tub. Yeah. Get the deviled egg version. Yeah.

Why make it yourself? I'm lazy. I ain't got the time for that anymore. I don't even have the time to do chores. What time do you what what do you mean you have no time?

Do you go run home and, like, freak out? Or what do you do? Like, I wanna know what happens to you in your free time. But why would I wanna spend my whole evening cooking? You don't spend your whole evening cooking.

What are you talking about? If you're cooking up mac and cheese from scratch, that's at least an hour. I'm not making the pasta. I'm not doing all that crap. Yeah.

But even so, it's still probably a good hour. It's too Not really. It's too much work. Oh, it's a good hour. So you're saying that's all all night is one hour?

Yes. Yes. I gotta watch six hours of movies and talk to my girlfriend on the phone. Yeah. Those are my plans.

That's much better. Because why can't I get in shape? That's much better. Because I'm sitting down all day watching movies and TV show. Get in shape eating mac and cheese.

Well, you you you gotta spend some time on the treadmill. You gotta do all that fun stuff. Dude, I I was cook up with some stuff. I was out and dealt with snow in three people's driveways yesterday, Peaches. I get some exercise.

That's what happens when you live in Idaho. That's not exercise. That's just normal. That is exercise. People die from it.

You know how many people have a heart attack snow shoveling because they don't realize how much exercise it is? Lots. They're dropping dead left and right. That's why you get the snow blower. That well, I do have one of those too.

But even those, you you gotta wrench them around and stuff. It's a big machine. It doesn't, have a tight turning radius. It's not like a rascal scooter. You know?

It's like a tank. You gotta you gotta twist that thing with brute arms stripes. You might have you might have come up with something there, a rascal scooter snow blower. It it would be great. Yeah.

A ride on rascal scooter style snow blower. Be fantastic. It'd be like a giant backyard. Like, if you live in Rigby and you have a lot of land, you need one of those types of things. Yeah.

I mean, I know they have ride on, snow blowers, but they're like real big. You know, they tend to be going down the roads. Things like that. Pumping all that snow into the middle or or into a dump truck. Yeah.

That'd be nice because those things got power. You know? There ain't no getting stuck on some slush with one of those. But then you could also charge your neighbors to be like, hey. I can get rid of that snow in, like, five minutes.

My neighborhood's pretty good that, like, every once in a while, my neighbor will hit my driveway, and so I'll hit theirs and yeah, kinda take care of each other in the old cul de sac. See, not me. I let the old lady next door do it all do all the work. I know, peaches. I know how you roll.
