#0073 - Strange things afoot in the desert - 10/02/2024
Hey. What's happening? Welcome to the program, the Viktor Wilt Show. Happy Wednesday to you. Alright.
I was looking through some crap on the Internet, and people outside of the US were asked, non Americans who have been to the US, What's the weirdest thing about America that Americans don't realize is weird. You calling us weird, man. Very curious to see what the answers are. Right now, the top answer is putting the real estate agent's face on the for sale signs. Never occurred to me that was weird.
And I guess since I've seen it my entire life, it it doesn't seem weird, but perhaps if you've never seen that before, you'd be like, is this guy a celebrity? What what was up with this person? Oh, they're they're just slinging houses. That's not a political sign. Yeah.
Kind of weird. You never see faces on political signs, but you do see them on real estate signs. I don't I guess that is kind of weird. Interesting. A lot of people outside of the US surprised by how big it is.
Yeah. If you ever wanna discover that for yourself, take a drive across somewhere like Texas. There you go. You wanna see a big open expanse of nothing? There you go.
And we have plenty of big open expanses of nothing around here as well. If you've ever driven, say, from Idaho to Reno. That's a rough one. That Nevada desert, it is not so great. You wanna take a nice trip through the desert, I recommend to Arizona.
Yes. The US is very large. Very large. Yeah. People pointing out the gigantic open spaces.
I love the gigantic open spaces. You know, speaking of road tripping, once you get down to Southern Utah and then you head into Arizona and you're just out there in the Navajo Nation, middle of nowhere, it's really cool. At least to me, there's, like, no people around, weird rock formations. Dig it. Dig it for sure.
I didn't realize that wide open spaces were weird, But I guess if you were to visit the west from the east coast where there are no wide open spaces, I bet the west is pretty wild. Yeah. Woah. Look at the look at all this nothing. All right what else do people think is weird weird about us the options for ordering food I guess we're spoiled I didn't think having a wide variety of options was weird but Yeah, weird doesn't necessarily mean bad Grateful for our variety of food options.
Why why is it that I always go back to a cheeseburger yeah when I'm trying to figure something out sitting there going all right dude get yourself something healthy to eat all right I I don't have time cheeseburger okay they also mentioned hearing someone speak with an American accent Which one? There are lots of them. Depending on where you're at, that accent, very, very different. So I I I don't know where they were visiting, but they said it seemed like they were watching a movie or something like that maybe in New York Boston one of these places with a real strong accent down south something like that Let's see here. Oh, the, the prescription drug ads on TV.
Prescription drug ads are weird. I don't know. I mean, perhaps it will lead to some people going, Hey doc, I saw this medication on TV. You heard of it? Any advice seemed like that might be able to help me, but yeah, the endless side effects you might die, but, go ahead and pick this one up.
Mhmm. Yeah. You need it. Alright. People being nice.
See that's something around here. You'd hear people say, oh, everything's gone down the tubes. You know, we're heading heading for the brink. No. People are still pretty nice.
Alright. At least around here, I can say so. When's the last time somebody was just straight rude to your face in public? If so, I'm sorry. You managed to come across a real real dirtbag, but I'm weird looking and people are still nice to me.
So we're not that weird. Right? I I I bet visiting here from elsewhere is very weird because depending on where you're at, I mean, everything is so different from one city to the next. America is kind of a weird place. Alright.
As we keep this program going, if you wanna get ahold of me, you can always call me up at 208-535-1015. Just hanging out, doing it live, hooking it up with a band I really hope will come tour somewhere close to here next year. This is like top of my list for a band I'd like to see at the arena, the mighty sleep token. Got a call from a listener who was like, dude, if you're gonna make me suffer through this sleep token on my morning drive, you gotta at least follow it up with some slipknot. You're welcome, buddy.
You're welcome. Hope that one was good enough. Well, it's the Victor will chill. My phone listens to everything I say and then feeds me content online. I talk about my cats a lot, so I get a lot of cat content on Reddit.
One of the pages that always pops up is a page, a subreddit called cat training. Now perhaps at some point, I looked something up relating to the kitten on Reddit. I don't remember doing so, but it's possible. Otherwise, it's just my phone going, alright. You wanna talk about cats?
We're gonna show you cat videos, but these ones aren't even fun. This whole subreddit seems to be dedicated to people posting videos of their new cat and their old cat and going, is this normal or are these cats fighting? Go check out this subreddit, cat training. Very top post. Is this normal or are they fighting?
In this one, they gotta be trolling. The cats are just laying on their side kinda swatting at each other. Here's another video. Should I be separating them, and it's just kittens playing with one another? Does this seem like okay play?
Has anybody ever seen a cat fight? Like, I got cats, but yeah. I know. You you know. And every once in a while, a cat will wander in my yard, stepping on their territory, and they don't like it.
I've had to break up a cat fight. If you see a real cat fight, there's, like, fur flying, and they make horrible sounds. Horrible sounds. I'm kinda starting to wonder if this entire subreddit is just a troll. You know?
Because I have yet to in my entire time of seeing the the post from this pop up on my feed, see an actual cat fight. You know? So, anyway, if, I don't know. You wanna see videos of cats cutely playing together, you can go check it out. Cat training, the cats lightly playing subreddit.
There's gotta be a real cat fight video in there somewhere. Maybe I should dig up a video online of a a nasty cat fight and just go post it there. Does it look like my cats are getting along okay? And see what people say. Anyway, that's my feed this morning.
Hey. Don't forget. If you want to hang out with us Friday night at the haunted river in Manan for round 1 of the haunted meetup, you gotta go see peaches today. Gonna be out broadcasting live at Wackerley Subaru on Woodruff in Idaho Falls. Gonna be there from 4 to 6 PM.
Stop by, say hello, get yourself on that list for the haunted meetup. Again, going down at the haunted river in Manan this weekend, Friday night. I mean, if you don't get a spot on the guest list, you could still just go out there, stop by and say hello, but nothing beats going for free. So if you'd like to go for free, go see peaches this afternoon, 4 to 6 PM at Wackerly Subaru in Idaho falls and get yourself on the list. 1st come first serve, show up early, and we'll be doing more haunted meetups throughout the month.
Thanks to our friends at Greasemonkey, Wackerly Subaru, and Wackerly Auto Center, so stay tuned. Keep listening for screen tones as well. If you hear us play screen tone, be color number 13, and we'll hook you up with tickets to a haunted attraction like the haunted Mill in Teton or the lost souls attractions in Shelley. So lots of opportunities to get in on creepy attractions with Kay Bear. Number 1, go see peaches today, Wackerly Subaru, 4 to 6 PM.
And we'll see you at the haunted meetup at the haunted river in Manan, Friday night. Alright. My morning was just slightly disturbed. Have you seen this giant naked Trump puppet statue thing that was, for some reason, hanging up outside of Las Vegas? I'm not saying you should go look it up.
K? Because it is a bit disturbing. Alright? I mean, think about it. You you wanna be envisioning any kind of politicians naked, even if it's, a crude puppet?
No. Apparently, they're gonna be taking this thing around the country to various swing states. It's, making people mad. Well, I would imagine it would make some people mad. It's a 60 foot naked man and a, you know, pretty, disturbing looking 60 foot naked man.
The things that pop up on the Internet, I'd tell you. Can you imagine? You're cruising from Utah. Hey. Let's go to Vegas.
Let's take a road trip to Vegas. You're driving through Utah. Everything's sunshine and rainbows because it's Utah. You know? Then you roll into Nevada, get past the Mesquite.
All of a sudden, you're like, what is that? What is that down the road there? That's just hanging up in the sky. That's a it looks like a giant naked man. Oh.
And it's so big. You just see it for miles. Yeah. You just have to put up with it for who knows how long. And then you make it to Vegas where you see even more disturbing things.
I don't know. This this might be more disturbing than anything I've seen in Vegas, and I've seen weird things in Vegas. Alright? I've been there many times, and every time you go to Vegas, you see something crazy. You you just can't avoid it.
Not if you're hanging out on Fremont Street or on the strip. You're gonna see something ludicrous. But this might this might take the cake here. Again, I am not encouraging you to look up the giant naked Trump puppet statue thing. I cannot share it on you'd probably get your social media account, you know, banned for a week or something if you post this.
But, it's in the news. That's our news nowadays. Look. Did not wanna start my Wednesday morning with a, even slight thought of envisioning naked old politicians. Yikes.
Okay. Anyway, just letting you know that's out there. Beware. Might pop up on your Internet feed. So we recently talked about movies that were filmed in Idaho.
And yesterday, I was actually talking off air with Peaches about this and the fact that, you know, there might be movies set in Idaho, but they weren't actually filmed here. I guess my phone's still listening to me because post that popped up on the feed, horror movies set in Idaho. And I got wracked in my brain. I'm like, have I ever seen a horror movie set in Idaho? Now some folks are disturbed by Napoleon Dynamite, but I wouldn't call it a horror movie.
Alright? It it's a comedy even if it's a little bit strange and might put Idaho in a slightly negative yet true light by showcasing the fact that we can be kind of behind the times. But, no, there are horror movies apparently set in Idaho. I don't think any of them were actually filmed here, And I've never heard of any of these, the top five horror movies set in Idaho. Coming in at number 5, The Being.
Oh. A mutated creature is wreaking havoc in a small town in Idaho. A police chief and a government scientist team up to save their rural town from this menace. Alright. This was filmed in 1981.
Rated r. I'm looking at the trailer here on IMDB. Never seen this before in my life. This does not look familiar whatsoever. Might have to check it out.
No. Wait a minute. If this is the top five best, this movie doesn't even have a good rating. It's got, 4.4 out of 10 stars on IMDB. I don't know.
It looks kinda cheesy, and I do like a good cheesy horror movie, so I might have to check it out. Hey, we got some gore. All right. Let's go to number 4 and see if this looks familiar. Shredder.
All right. Not the, you know, enemy of the Ninja Turtles. This is at an exclusive secluded North American ski resort up on rock or Mount Rocky Summit. Brutal, slashing, severing, and beheading on a group of teenagers are taking place and are believed to be the work of a mysterious skier dressed in black. Oh, sounds frightening.
Watch out for the man on skis. Okay. We got a guy. He's, you know, wearing skis. He's got the ski mask on and the goggles and an ax.
4.6 out of 10 stars. Not looking too good for horror movies filmed in Idaho. They're not looking like they're, very highly rated. Let's go to number 3. Okay.
Phantasm 3, lord of the dead. That's supposed to be taking place in Idaho. I think I saw that movie back in the day, Phantasm 3. The description of the movie doesn't say anything about Idaho. Mike and Reggie continue to hunt the mysterious tall man, discovering along the way that the invasion has already begun.
Alright. Well, apparently supposed to, take place in Idaho. Alright. Well, that might be worth checking out. It's fantasm.
It's classic. 6 out of 10 stars. Ratings are getting better. Alright. Let's go to cheerbleaders.
Cheerbleaders. Oh, this took place in Blackfoot supposedly. Penny and Devin, a pair of high school outcasts, are best friends in their isolation in the small town of Blackfoot, Idaho. However, things take a nasty turn for the worst when Penny inadvertently turns Devon into an unspeakable evil, the most popular boy in school. Cheerbleaders from 2,008 does not look familiar whatsoever.
I wonder where it was filmed. Kinda funny when you watch a show and it's supposed to take place somewhere and you're like, yeah. That's clearly not here. Watched an episode of the x files that was supposed to take place in mountain home. And if you've been to mountain home, it doesn't look like, you know, Vancouver, which is where, at least the first, I think, 5 seasons of the x files were filmed.
Like, yeah, mountain home, not quite so picture picturesque. Alright. Little more deserty. Alright. What's the best horror movie that's supposed to take place in Idaho?
Apparently, it's called the reflecting skin from 1990 with 6.7 out of 10 stars. Not a good rating. In the 19 fifties, a young boy living with his troublesome family in rural ure USA fantasizes that a neighboring widow is actually a vampire responsible for a number of disappearances in the area. Spooky. Alright.
I will give them that, looking at the trailer here. I mean, it's very deserty. It it could look like rural Idaho, but, again, never heard of the reflecting skin. I might have to check that one out too if you wanna watch. Oh, it's got Viggo Mortensen in it.
Yeah. You know, from the lord of the rings? I don't recognize any of the, other stars, but, yeah, Viggo Mortensen in that Idaho classic, the reflecting skin. Alright. Speaking of, creepy stuff, how about we play a creepy tune from code orange with k bears rocking Halloween haunted by no limit guitar company celebrating their 6th anniversary.
Here we go. How's it going? I hope amazing. Hope you're doing great. Alright.
Did you realize we are days away from an awesome amazing concert right here in East Idaho. Saturday, Judas Priest, Judas Priest with Sabaton at the Mountain America Center, and we've even got free tickets. But you've got very little time to get signed up to win those tickets. So if you haven't signed up yet, get over to the KayBear app. Fire up that KayBear app.
Fire up the Cannonball app. Fire up the alt app, and enter to win tickets to see Judas Priest at the Mountain America Center. If you don't win, looking at the ticket map right now, there are a pretty good number of tickets left, and, I would assume that soon enough, scalpers will start panicking. But, I mean, you can get really good seats for $50. So, you know, if you wanna go see the mighty Judas Priest live, Saturday night at the Mountain America Center, 1, enter to win.
You can't beat free. But, 2, if you don't win, buy some tickets, support live music here in East Idaho. I think that's the last rock show of the year scheduled for the Mountain America Center. I can't think of any others. So, yeah, winter is coming.
Get out and enjoy yourself one final time before we're just locked down for 6 months with the gray skies and ice and all that stuff, you'll still be able to, leave the show and not be completely freezing the end of the night. It's gonna be awesome. I'll see you there. Judas Priest, enter to win. Thanks to our friends at No Limit Guitar Company celebrating their 6 year anniversary.
They got sweet deals going all month. Go get yourself a guitar. Go see Judas Priest. Loads of fun coming your way the entire month. Thanks to our friends at No Limit Guitar Company.
I will return. Freak news powered by Greasemonkey voted Idaho's best oil change. Let's roll. Be nice to your postal workers. Alright.
I was reading an article about a postal worker in Michigan who was, attacked by a knife wielding man. Now what did this postal worker do? They delivered the mail. The end. During an election year, candidates send out and supporters of candidates send out, you know, informational pamphlets trying to encourage you to look into candidates and potentially vote for them.
So if you get one in the mail from a candidate you don't support, what you can do is what I do when I get mailers from candidates I don't support. I throw them in the garbage, And then I wave goodbye to my postal worker that delivers my mail day to day, ensuring that I get all those bills. Yeah. She had to, unleash pepper spray on this guy. He came at her with a knife because he I I won't even get into which side.
You might be able to guess. But so, you know, he's putting just a flyer for a particular candidate in the mailbox. Out comes the night. Jeez. The guy's 61 years old, man.
We gotta get these boomers some hobbies or something. So, anyway, just be aware. You might have something show up in your mailbox that's annoying to you. You you can just throw it in the garbage. You don't need to attack anybody.
K? This is gonna be going on for a month. You're gonna start seeing more and more of this. Alright? Also, yeah, if you see somebody put up a sign or something, don't attack them either.
Alright. Try to be a rational human being. Alright. What else do we got here? People in Tucson, very upset at McDonald's.
I guess they remodeled the McDonald's, you know, made it look like all the new McDonald's do, which is kind of boring. You know? Just that industrial post apocalyptic look that every new business has nice and square and gray. I mean, the food's still good. But, anyway, on top of this McDonald's, they decided to put a giant inflatable Ronald McDonald.
And, apparently, you know, that was, kinda kinda bringing down the the upscale nature of the area in Tucson. This is the middle of the desert, people. I've I've been to Tucson. It's it's nice. But I think a giant inflatable Ronald McDonald just kinda brightens people's day.
I don't think they'd leave it there forever. The sun's probably gonna melt it, so just have some patience. But yeah. You're you're bringing down the classiness of our area. I don't know.
It's a fast food restaurant, people. Come on. Settle down a little bit. So did they have to take it down? Because of whiny people in the neighborhood.
Man. Whininess. It's just running rampant these days. Anyway, I'm all for the giant inflatable Ronald McDonald because it's colorful. Alright.
It's colorful and fun. I'm sure kids liked it unless they're scared of clowns then. Alright. That's that's the kid's problem. Right?
Parents shouldn't have let them watch that movie It. What else do we got in the news? Oh, I think this is great news. A lot of people are complaining about it, but I think this is great news, and I hope it sets a precedent. CNN launching a digital paywall, charging some users to read articles.
Could every news source please do this? Based on some of the dumb things I've seen on Facebook already today, I think if people had to pay to get into these biased news websites like CNN, Fox, etcetera You know, if you had to pay to get in there, a lot of people wouldn't go get their news there, and then we wouldn't be pummeled with these ridiculous stories. Hey. I already had to comment on 1 post this morning. But, dude, that's not real.
That's fake. And then they fire back with, well, the news source you showed me is fake news. Like, Google. Use Google. I don't know why people don't Google things before they post them.
Like I mentioned last week, I got in some political discussions on Facebook. And before I made a response, I made sure that I could back up what I was saying with some facts. People just spout off and it's because they read things on, you know, these biased news websites or they just see somebody say it and they're like, oh, it's gotta be true. Please. Please utilize Google before sharing information.
The world is making the world dumber simply by not fact checking their information before they share it. So, yeah, paywalls on all news websites. I'm all down for this. Plus then when somebody shared some completely made up story, when you, you know, tried to go to the page to read it, you'd have to pay and be like, oh, I'm not gonna read this. And then your mind doesn't get poisoned by biased information.
Alright. Freak news powered by Grease Monkey, voted Idaho's best oil change. Oh, do we got a caller here? Should I do it? Sure.
K, Bear. Hey. You're live on the program. Keep that in mind. Who's this?
It's Brandon. Brandon? Yes, sir. Hey, Brandon. What's up, dude?
I I just I just had to call and say that I I I can't believe you didn't know this, Victor, but you can't find anything on the Internet that isn't true. Everybody knows that. I know it's all real. And I I shouldn't even question anything because, you know, I I saw this meme. I saw a TikTok video and, you know, it it it just had to be true.
It had to be, you know? I mean, we have these scholars that are sharing this information. So how could I doubt them? I know. My bad.
Thank you for correcting me. Everything on the Internet is true. Everybody, were controlled by reptilian, shape shifting, humanoids and, yeah, everything else. It's it's all true. Well, Victor, I am, I am glad to hear that, I could, I was able to help you correct the, the faux pas.
Alright. Yep. I'm gonna start the show over and I take back everything I said. Thanks, man. You have a good one, Brandon.
Yeah. You too. Peace. Kinda surprised they didn't do a radio edit of that one and chop the whole end off. Oh, we got guitar riffs and no vocals.
Hurry. Get rid of it. What up, Peaches? Oh, nothing much. It's, it's hump day.
We're out we out here? We out here doing our thing. Peaches bringing disturbing material to the show today. I know It's pretty old now. It's a few weeks old.
Well, I I didn't see this one, but I shouldn't be surprised that TMZ would post something in bad taste. You know, I I was already complaining about the news this morning. I think they should put paywalls on every news site because it will prevent people from going to those sites and then sharing those stupid stories. You know? I like it.
This one, for example. You know, I don't wanna see dead people popping up on my social media feed. Do you remember when that guy lit himself on fire in New York? Yeah. A month or 2 ago?
Yeah. And the video was popping up everywhere. It was everywhere. All these meme pages were sharing that. It was horrifying.
So that that was, you know, social media. But this is TMZ. You got this is this guy a rapper? He was a more so hype man. He was also a radio personality for a while too.
Oh, okay. His name was Fat Man Scoop. I've never heard of him. There's a lot of songs that just have him screaming, get your hands up, and that's about it. Kinda like that DJ Khaled guy.
A little John as well. Yeah. Yeah. They got their catchphrase, they yell. So, anyway, this guy apparently died, and TMZ, they got the scoop.
Fat man scoop. New video shows rapper collapsing on stage. Look at this guy dying. Check it out, everybody. All the comments were just, you know, he got the jab.
He was he was vaxxecuted. Victor, he's 53 and severely overweight and he died of cardiac disease, but, no, Victor. He's it's the jab. That's why he's he's so fat. His name is Fat Man Scoop.
Yeah. And he's on stage right there with no shirt on and you can see that he clearly needs a shirt because nobody really wants to see that. Yeah. Didn't you say that people were blaming, the death of Pete Rose on the jab too? I was making that one up.
Oh, okay. But they're blaming this guy for that. But they both died of the same thing. It was the hypertensive and, the another word I can't really, I don't know how to pronounce it. It starts with an a, I think.
You know what? I would imagine peaches because I've seen the Internet. I bet there are people out there who blame that the death of Pete Rose Oh, yeah. On that because that's what people blame all that's on nowadays. It's art related.
What TMZ is doing is, like, if a young athlete dies or collapses on the field, they'll share it right away because they know that crowd of if executed is gonna pop up everywhere. They get lots of clicks out of it. That's you know, was telling you back in the day, there was this website called rotten.com that was just all, hey. Check out all these dead people. You know, pretty disgusting website, and it got banned from the Internet.
But apparently, the news, it it's just fine to show people dying. People are worried about, you know, people picking up Charlotte's Web and reading it, but, you know, check it out. TMZ TMZ is not blocked, by parental blocking on the Internet. That video on the TV show too. Probably.
I mean, if if I die and somebody filmed it, could you just not put that on the Internet, anybody? If I get eaten by a bear? Well, we watched the video here and his famous last words were if you came to party, make some noise and then you just see him collapse on the DJ. That's some pretty good last words. Imagine being the DJ he collapses on and you just have some dead guy now on top of you.
Well, I just wanna encourage people to try to have good taste. Okay? If you happen to film somebody dying, give the video for the authority to the authorities and, like, don't be like, I've got the exclusive scoop. Check it out and post it to your Instagram. Who wants to be the next nightcrawler with Jake Gyllenhaal?
That's that's a great movie. Right? Yeah. I I just sometimes wonder about the world because be most people wouldn't blink at TMZ posting a video of a man dying on stage. Like, would you wanna see the the videos out there too of, like, Dimebag Darrell getting shot on stage?
Who wants to watch that? I I don't know. To me, it's it's weird. It's weird that people would wanna watch that. Again, like, back to that vid that horrifying video of the guy lighting himself on fire, I could not believe that was all over the Internet.
It's so funny on Instagram reels because sometimes you'll get, like, some random person getting run over by, like, a train as, like, a pop as a video. Yeah. And they're, like, why do they allow this? I yeah. I thought they have all these filters in place to filter out content.
But as we know, it I don't even like to open Twitter in here because without question, some kind of adult material is going to pop up. And it's not pages we follow. It's not like we're like, hey. Yeah. Hey.
Let's follow all these pages. No. It's literally just bots that infiltrate your, comment section no matter what. The algorithm. It's not even comments.
The algorithm just feeds it into your main feed. There's also replies of, like, those bots just say, check out my insert website here. And so it's like some Like half naked photo. And those are different than the actual algorithm pushing it into your feed. Let's see what this person wants.
Be careful. We talked about vaccines. Oh, we said anyway, Kay Barry, you're live on the Victor Will Show. Keep that in mind. Who's this?
This is Bennett. Bennett, what's up? Well, you know, you're talking about the in the bad taste and all that with the the people expiring on video. Mhmm. Well, don't you remember and it's been this is back before he hit it real big with, was it Logan or Jake Paul that went over to China to the Oh, yeah.
Logan Paul went to Japan. Yeah. Filming just filming dead bodies out in the forest. Yeah. It would be I guess that's where they go to commit suicide.
Yeah. And he took a lot of flack for that as he should. You know, he was publicly shamed. I mean, he's still out there slinging, you know, fake Lunchables to people, but, yo, TMZ, far as I know, not getting any grief for, you know, check out the dead people. But, again, TMZ, I don't think is really known for their class, but still, I was just like, I don't know.
If that was my family member or something, I wouldn't want to have to see that video all over the Internet nor read the comments. Yeah. It's like ESPN when they show the replay of a guy getting severely injured. You just see some guy break his leg and with the bone sticking out or something. They can show the replay over and over and over again.
You know if they lived, they're playing a sport that's a risk. It's different than I don't know. Just somebody keeling over on stage dead. I don't know. We the world's just gotten to be kinda dark.
So Well, it happened. And I I wanted to to you know, you were talking about the male lady that was attacked with a knife this morning? Yeah. That happened here in Pocatello about 5, 8 years ago. Really?
What what for? The dude was just cracked out, and he attacked my wife. He didn't attack her, but he he circled her van, and she couldn't even get out of the van to deliver the mail. Had to call the cops and everything. So she wasn't delivering political, flyers.
She was just out on a normal day and had a, you know, deranged individual attacker. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. You gotta be aware.
There are deranged people out there. Well, for sure. Yeah. It's like, oh, he had a machete. A machete.
Nah. Yeah. Wonderful. That's what you wanna see coming at you early on a workday. Jeez.
Exactly. Well, Bennett, it's always good to hear from you, man. Hope you have a good rest of the week. You as well. And, you know, talk about a little.
Talk about what? The debate last night. There's not a lot to talk. I I'll I'll get into it, but it was the debate was, there there wasn't really anything crazy or exciting that came out of it. It was the first time I've seen a debate in, like, I don't know, 15 years that it was just kinda normal.
Yeah. I sent you the one of the highlights I saw on Instagram that popped up of one of them saying, hey. My son saw this shooting at his school, and everyone's like, I'm so sorry. I'll send my condolences to you. Or That was what was weird.
They were both throughout the whole thing, like, hey, you know, I appreciate what you said there. I agree with you on many of these things. Right. It it was very strange to watch after all of the deranged, unhinged debates we've seen. So it's kind of funny because people have been saying for years, like, I wish we could get back to this and they'll post an old clip of, like, you know Richard Nixon and JFK.
Yeah. Or like George Bush versus, whoever. And they're like, you know, this is what we missed. And then all of the complaints today, that debate was boring. The only two things that I really remember from the debate was, well, that doesn't pass the smell test and something about whack a mole.
Yeah. I was hoping we'd get some good lines, but, they're they're just it was pretty tame. And then at the end, they, like, got together, shook hands. They were talking to each other at the podium. Like, okay.
This is this is different. So, I mean They kept they kept agreeing with each other. Oh, I agree with what he says. I agree with what you say. Yeah.
It was it was it was very strange because, there was 0. I agree with the other person during the last debate. Yeah. Remove those 2. Just have these 2.
It was kinda weird. It was like, oh, alright. Maybe maybe things can eventually tone down. So I don't know. Yeah.
Because they they were expecting it to be, you know, off the charts considering how both of them have acted, you know Yeah. Throughout the Yeah. I I expected, at least a little bit of, chaos, but, no, it was it was very tame. So I I don't think it's really gonna sway people in either direction. You know, but but, yeah, that's my thoughts on the debate.
I don't have much. You know? I was hoping I'd have all kinds of wacky stuff to talk about today, but I can see you sitting down in your chair taking notes. We're getting ready for the show tomorrow. Mental.
Mental notes, but they're just yeah. There just wasn't anything. It was, you know, it was just a normal, normal debate. Yeah. Victor, you pulled a bite and fell asleep at your desk.
No. Don't compare me to those old guys. Alright? I am old, but not that old. Well, thanks, Bennett.
You have a good one, man. You too. Thank you guys for the call. Yep. Have a good one.
Peace. Yeah. One last thing I saw, SiriusXM was broadcasting the vice presidential debate on their channels, and I'm thinking, like, who wants to pay for SiriusXM to listen to that? It was available for free everywhere. Right.
Like, you could watch it on YouTube. It was yeah. It's dumb. And you could watch it, you know, which, you know, then you get the body language and things like that. You can judge a person a lot better if you watch them speak.
So, I do think it's worth watching. And I do I do have more thoughts than it was boring. I'm telling you, it needs to be like normal. Wrestling promo material. Because there We need that.
There was certainly lots of lying as you would expect during a political debate. That where's the rock radio DJ reacts to the vice presidential debate, and you hit the line meter every time somebody fibs? They have a button? Lies. I I would have been pushing it a lot, but, yeah, it was pretty tame.
Pretty tame. No no fun clips we can use on the show. So I'm sure you've seen the video making the rounds of the guy who spent $4,000 to buy a Taylor Swift guitar at an auction and then smashed it with a hammer. Well, there have been some updates on that story. Apparently, that guitar wasn't signed by Taylor Swift.
It just had, like, a wrap on it. So it, you know, had some Taylor Swift artwork. Now I think the auction came with, like, a signed CD or something. So for 1, way overpaid for a guitar that was not signed by this artist. And 2, you know, to make some kind of statement by smashing it.
I I said the other day when we talked about this, that was nothing more than taking $4,000 and throwing it in the garbage, but especially now, I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised. But, yeah. You might wanna, you know, really look into things before you decide to try to, you know, drop that kind of dough to go viral. Because, you know, nothing worse than coming out looking looking like a fool for all the world to see at the end of the events.
And, you know, I say this all the time. If if you got $4 to dump on a guitar you're gonna smash, I can always use some spare money. If you're just throwing money away hey. I I I got the, bucket right here. Tips accepted.
Don't tell Jade I said that. I like when I see a post like this, but I can never just fully commit to believing it. What's a fact about the world that sounds totally fake, but is 100% true. You see that on the internet nowadays? You can't just believe it.
I see people that 100% believe crazy things on my social media every day. They're invested. They 100% believe these things to be true that have been completely disproven back to earlier when I was saying Google things before you share them, but let's take a look. I am not saying these are facts because I don't trust the Internet anymore, But we might read something interesting here. Whether or not it's true, I don't know.
Even if these people are claiming these things are true. Alright. I can't even pronounce the name of this user, so I'm not gonna try. There's a type of jellyfish that's immortal. The turitopes turitopsis doorni.
They should just stick with immortal jellyfish. They say it can transform its body into a younger state through a process called transdifferentiation, essentially making it immortal. That is that true? Let's Google immortal jellyfish and see what kind of results we get because that that sounds, some fate to me. Well, there's a lot of articles here.
The immortal jellyfish that resets when damaged. Earth's longest living what? Animal. Okay. I guess I'm gonna accept it as true, but, yeah, that does sound fake.
So so far, this article or this threat is accurate. Sharks have been around longer than trees and the rings of Saturn. I could believe that based on what, you know, little knowledge I have about, world history and, you know, water. Alright. We're gonna accept that as true.
Not gonna Google it. When Betelgeuse goes supernova, this is the, it's like a a star. It will be visible in the day for roughly a year, and several more years will see it at night. That said the prediction of when by scientists is somewhere between today and 100000 years from now. Odds are none of us will see it.
That's kinda like predicting Yellowstone's eruption. That'd be pretty crazy to have what looks like a second sun in the sky every day? Right. If back to the future were remade today and set in 2024, Marty would time travel back to 1994. What?
That doesn't sound fake. That sounds like a decent prediction since Marty tended to travel back in time 30 years. What bad response. 80% of Soviet males born in 1923 didn't survive world war 2. That's disturbing.
Unbelievable. A lot of people died during that war. 7% of the entire human pop human population since humans began are alive today. At what? 7% of the entire human population since humans began are alive to that doesn't make sense to me.
I'm I'm gonna skip that. This is starting to make my brain hurt this story. Again, are are they talking, like, genetics or something? You know, the genetic line? That doesn't make any sense.
I I think they must have worded this badly. I don't got a lot of upvotes. I I don't know. That sound that's nonsense, and I again, somebody didn't write their sentence correctly. There are currently more chickens than all other birds combined on this planet.
Yeah. It's probably true. Sadly, they're probably in cages packed together. Yeah. This thread ended up being a lot more boring than I'd hoped.
There are more ways to shuffle a standard deck of cards than there are atoms on earth. Is that true? I think I need more coffee. Not digging this content. Let's take a break.
With all of the talk in the recent presidential debates about problems at the southern border, I can't believe I hadn't heard anything about this one. You never know what kind of dangerous things are being transported through our border checkpoints. This happened in Texas. Woman gets pulled over. You know, they wanna do the additional search at the, at customs.
So they ask her what she's got in the vehicle. She's like, oh, just a cooked meal. Just got a meal and bring it to the fam, but they find all these suitcases. They feel really heavy. Like, alright.
We're gonna have to open these up, man. £700 of baloney, I guess, Mexican pork baloney is illegal in the US. There's a worry of spreading foreign animal diseases to the US pork industry. Of course, the headline of the article, that was what it focused on, the £700 of baloney, but they also found a a whole bunch of cash and a bunch of prescription meds and things like that. But, hey, we need to let everybody know about the worry of baloney at the border.
Yeah. The £748 of baloney were destroyed. Imagine if that's your job. Alright. Billy, today, I got something very dangerous for you to deal with.
We got £748 of baloney. It must be destroyed. Did they blow it up? Did they do something fun, or did they just, like, incinerate it? I mean, he put baloney in a meat grinder, then he just basically got the, you know, necessary items to make, hot dogs.
But, they fined her $1,000. That was it. Okay. Well, anyway, I just wanted to let you know more things happening out there than you might be aware of. Baloney, serious business.
So we're talking a lot of Halloween right now. It's October. It's the spooky season. Well, I had a weird moment happen last night. I'm, you know, hanging out at the house, and I'd gotten done putting up all of my Halloween decorations outside.
Now I'd like to get a few more, but, you know, money. I don't even have kids at my house, but it just feels wrong to not have the decorations up outside, the inflatable Jack Skellington and the little exorcist girl that's and it it's another inflatable. She's all covered with vomit. Made me laugh, so I had to buy it. Couple other things in the yard I won't get into that might scare the neighbors.
But, anyway, I'm just hanging out in my house, having some food, watching some TV, and there's a knock at the door. And people don't knock at my door very often. It's rare. So I'm like, who's here bothering me? So I get up and go to the door.
It's a couple little kids. Like are you guys like selling something you know what's going on here and they're like hey we just wanted to see what you were gonna be giving out for halloween like candy? I what what do you mean? And they're like, well, you know, some people give out toothbrushes and stuff, and I'm like, well, that sucks. Don't go to the dentist house for for Halloween, but I have never seen kids doing the pre check, doing the rounds.
You know, we gotta make a list. We're not gonna go to these places. They're they're gonna hook us up with pennies and things like that. Just 2 kids on bikes. You know, I start getting suspicious.
I'm like, are these guys, you know, keeping an eye on my house here? They they plotting to break in? These are little kids. Okay. I live in a cul de sac and there's cameras all over the place.
And I got vicious attack cats, so I shouldn't be worried. But, yeah, I just thought it was funny. Kids just get out and trick or treat. Just go door to door to door and get surprised. I don't know.
It's a month from now. It's a little early to be making your map, but I I don't know. I know I didn't get specific. I wasn't like, well, I give out really good candy. I should get the worst candy ever this year.
Get that bag that comes with, like, the, you know, Smarties and the Bit O Honeys and all all all that stuff that nobody wants. And then when those kids show up, I told you I'd have candy, and they're like, oh, man. We were hoping for Snickers. Come on, man. What about a Reese's?
I do tend to give out decent candy. Alright. But yeah. Yeah. That's what happened.
That was my afternoon. Yeah. Kids showing up prescreening for Halloween and then watched the VP debate. All right. Speaking of creepy things in Halloween, 2 Halloween tracks at least every hour.
