The Viktor Wilt Show

Hey. It's the Viktor Wilt Show. How's it going today? It's Friday, so I hope that means it's going as good for you as it's so far going for me. Because I'm rolling into the weekend, and rolling into the weekend is always a good thing.

Plus, lots of exciting news happening around here. Very excited for, well, about a week and a half from now. Got that big, in this moment, ice 9 kills avatar concert, hitting up the Mountain America Center, August 27th. And we've been working on a lot of fun stuff for this show. Alright?

You'll be hearing more about it during during the morning. Alright? But one of the things that was announced yesterday, I intended to announce it during traffic school powered by the advocates today, but my homie, Lou Brutus, jumped the gun. I I mean, we didn't discuss it at all. Like, hey, Lou.

Wait till tomorrow morning to announce this. I was on the phone with him for quite a while yesterday. But Lou Brutus has announced the grand rock and roll tour of the upper American latitudes. Lou's gonna be a busy man, the week of that in this moment show. Making me feel really lazy because I was looking at his itinerary, and I'm like, oh, sounds exhausting.

And I'm I'm younger than than Lou. Why was that hard to say? Anyway, as posted on Facebook, Lou Brutus has announced that he will be hitting Idaho, Iowa, and Wisconsin, hanging with hard drive listeners and a whole bunch of bands. His first stop hanging out with us right here in East Idaho for the in this moment, Ice Nine kills avatar show on 27th. So Lou's coming to visit.

He's gonna bring a bunch of swag, and Lou is awesome when he's hanging out at shows. He's just like me and Peaches wandering around, hanging out with you. You know? Hit him up and ask him for a guitar pick or a selfie or whatever. He'll be easy to spot.

Me and Peaches will probably be with him. So same technique for finding Lou at any concert. Just look for the tall guy. It's like finding me at a show. You just find peaches.

There you there you go. I'm I'm probably next to him, and you can spot him anywhere. Very excited. I haven't hung out with Lou for many, many years. It's been since a few radio conventions ago.

Lou hasn't been to East Idaho since the corn stone stone sour show, jeez, that hit up the, Port of Hell Trust Amphitheater in Pokey many years ago. So we've been trying to figure out a good time to get him back here for years, and, been talking to him talking with him about this one for months. Very stoked to get Lou in town. I'm sure we'll do some radio together. I don't know if he'll be in on the morning show, day of the show, but definitely the noon hour and yeah.

We're we're gonna have a blast at this upcoming concert. So very stoked to see my homie Lou again. I'm excited for Peaches to meet him. He's never met Lou. It's going to be so much fun.

So yet another reason to make sure to attend the in this moment ice 9 kills avatar show, you can meet Lou Brutus. Yeah. Very nice, very fun guy. And yeah. Yeah.

I'm I'm stoked. I'm stoked. His schedule that week is crazy. So he's gonna hang out with us on Tuesday. Then he goes to the disturbed plus show in Iowa on Wednesday, then Chevelle in Wisconsin on Thursday, Mudvayne in Wisconsin, Friday, and Nonpoint in Wisconsin, Saturday.

He's doing 5 shows 5 days in a row all over the country. Man, like I said, it makes me tired. Makes me tired to think about. I do like one show. I'm like, oh, I need a nap now.

I was at a concert, but, you know, Lou, he's a he's a rock warrior. That's Lou Brutus. So get your tickets to the show. You can pick them up through the ticket master website. I saw they had some pit tickets left and some really good seats.

So, yeah, no matter what your budget is, you could find a spot in that amazing venue, the Mountain America Center, and see an awesome show, hang out with us, and the legend himself, Lou Brutus. Alright. Very cool stuff. I am going to work on my ability to speak, which seems to be lacking this morning. Hopefully, I'll get it together by the next time you hear my voice.

Good morning. Definitely pumped to go check out Avatar on 27th. Lou Brutus, who I talked about a few minutes ago, gonna be joining us for the show. He told me yesterday he's seen them, like, 12 times or something on their current tour. Guy's a madman.

Yeah? We should all, as DJs, aspire to try to keep as busy as Lou Brutus. But you know me. I like to relax. I'm lazy.

I love going to shows, but weird stuff has started to happen to me at concerts. Talked about when I saw death clock and sleep token in Boston. Now death clock in Idaho falls, sleep token in Boston. I think it's strobe lights. They seem to mess up my brain.

It's an old man thing, I guess. So I gotta be careful at shows. I don't know. It's so aggravating. Nothing like waking up after a show where you didn't have a single drop.

You know, sleep token. No booze. And I wake up with the room spinning. Like, what what's happening here? This doesn't make any sense.

Had to be those brutal strobes. It was awesome. It was a great show. Anyway, I don't know what kind of stage production we have in store at that one. But, in this moment and ice 9 kills very theatrical, so I have a feeling at some point gonna get pummeled by strobe lights.

So I'll just turn around. Oh, I can't look at the strobes. What a wuss. Anyway, make sure you're listening to traffic school today. At the end of traffic school, we're gonna announce a big fun giveaway.

And I'm sure at this point, you've probably guessed it ties in to the ice 9 kills in this moment, avatar show. We got some really cool stuff to give away regarding that epic event. So make sure you're listening to traffic school kicking off at 8:45. Also got special guests, Ben and his son, Mason, from the advocates stopping by to hang out today. Maybe they'll bring something to give away on traffic school.

Ben tends to bring goodies. I've no promises, but I'd say there's a possibility of that. So should be a fun show traffic school in case you're unaware. A live call in radio show where you can ask me and lieutenant Crane of the Idaho State Police questions about the law or whatever, and, you know, get yourself some answers so you can jump into the life in Idaho Falls Facebook group and tell people, no, you're wrong. This is actually how the law works since there is constantly arguments going on in that particular group relating to the law.

And I see tons of incorrect information being spread as gospel in that group. Don't listen to people there. Listen to me and lieutenant Crane. If you're unsure about something, you call and get the answers live every Friday morning, 8:45 with Traffic School powered by the advocates. You can also catch Traffic School, the full recap online, everywhere podcasts can be found.

So, yeah, you wanna catch back episodes and things, hit up anywhere. Podcast can be found or riverbendmediagroup.com where you can find my morning show and traffic school. And we'll be launching a new interview based podcast soon. I'll get some of my old interviews up, some that, have never been posted online. Just gotta, catch up on some other things.

So it's high on my priority list, getting these additional podcasts going like the noon hour, but very busy. Very busy around here. Anyway, it'll be a fun show today. Big giveaway announcement. Guests on the show, traffic school's gonna be great.

Yesterday, I believe it was, there was that post on Reddit. Should I go on vacation to Twin Falls or McCall, which is one of the most ridiculous questions I've ever seen posed online? A quick Google should give you the answer. Like, just go to Google images and then go, oh, yeah. I'll go to the one that's pretty.

The end. I don't know. A lot of talk popping up for some reason on my Internet feed about Mccall. Is something driving me to go there? I can't afford the gas.

Alright? I drive a truck. To drive to McCall would cost me a lot of money, but I don't know. For some reason, I feel like it's, McCall and out to me. Sorry.

It's national tele Joke Day, so there's a terrible, terrible dad joke. No. I stumbled across an article about the most serene mountain lake towns in the US, and McCall was on that list along with places like, North and South Lake Tahoe, Custer, South Dakota, which I am not familiar with, Jackson, which I mean, Jenny Lake is close to Jackson, but does Jackson count as a mountain lake town? I guess. I mean, Jenny Lake is probably the prettiest lake in the region, so I shouldn't say anything.

Jackson's the closest town to it. I mean, it's it's just right outside of Jackson, but it's not like the town's right there on the lake. Come on. Come on. But McCall McCall popping up on the list.

And if you do make that drive to McCall, I mean, there's a lot of lot of cool stuff in that region. Another post that popped up on Reddit was, what's the deal with Reagan's? Well, it's another little nice mountain town. I had never been to Reagan's till a number of years ago. Few years ago, I really liked Reagan's.

I don't know what it was about that town in particular, but it's a nice little spot. You know, you're right there in hell's canyon. You drive through, White Bird, which is, you know, just an amazing weird place. What do people say is the deal with Riggins? It's a place where you can be on 95:1 minute surrounded by hundreds of people and cars passing by, and within 1 hour be in a place where there is absolutely no one rugged canyon country.

It's an interesting spot because it's one of the warmer places in Idaho. Like, this time of year, it's probably really hot in Riggins. But during wintertime, it you would think being in the middle of these massive canyons that it would be cold, but it's one of the warmer places you can go. Low elevation, great place to visit during the winter months. And, you know, if you're looking for something fun to do, take that jet boat ride through Hell's Canyon.

You'd launch from Riggins. It's it's really, really cool. Really cool. So I don't know. I don't know what the deal here is, but something about that region calling out to me.

Need to win the lottery, so I got some gas money. Take a big road trip. You know, cruise from here. It's probably fastest to go through Boise, but I think you could make a heck of a road trip out of out of it if you went, like I don't know. You probably can't go from Stanley over to, you know, that highway that goes to Riggins.

I don't know. You probably have to go through Boise. There ain't no winning on the old road trip of doom. I mean, you could just take a few days and go from here through Sun Valley to Stanley, back down to Boise, then up through cascade. Go up to McCall.

Keep going north. Go to Reagan's. Just keep driving, and then you end up in stinky Lewiston. No. It's it's it's a fun fun road trip because you see a lot of different type of landscapes.

Idaho, very diverse with the type of, terrain you can travel through. So I don't know. 1 of these days one of these days, I'll get out of town, but yeah. Maybe when them gas prices drop. Yep.

Wouldn't that be nice? Alright. Somebody on Reddit asked, what is something people in their twenties might not realize will significantly impact them as they reach their forties? As a 42 year old, I guess, that would make me an expert on whether or not these answers are correct here. So I figured we will read through them.

And as someone who is, again, an expert at being 42, I can let you know if these things really do matter and if you should pay attention to them. Let's dig in. You're hearing loud noise over time is bad and is not fixable. Boy, they're really trying to rub it in, aren't they? Just yesterday, I was in my office after doing a long noon hour of madness and mayhem.

Peaches, Josh, and I did, like, a 20 minute break on there, a single break. And my ears were just screaming afterward from wearing the headphones and probably having them up too loud. Yeah. I can't still if I if I take the headphones off right now and turn down the music, what I will hear is a high pitched just it's always there. It's always there, and it gets aggravated sometimes just doing my job.

Between going to concerts and doing a job where I wear headphones for at least 4 hours a day. It's not good. It's not good. I was actually watching a video on YouTube yesterday about how to, not cure, but at least treat tinnitus with exercises. And I'm in my office doing these weird moves where you cover your ears with your palms and, like, flick your fingers on the back of your head.

It actually helped because they were screaming pretty bad yesterday. Wear earplugs at shows. I'm not the best at this. Alright? I still go to shows and often enough just go, alright.

I gotta take the ear plugs out because I'm just not feeling it. And, Yeah. I think if you, when you're young, get used to going to concerts with ear plugs in, you will not have a level of dissatisfaction like I have at certain shows and then end up taking the ear plugs out. Some shows, I'm glad I have them because the mix is bad, and you can just tell it's doing horrible things to your ears. So yeah.

Loud noise. Unless you down the road wanna hear a high pitched squealing sound 24 hours a day like I do, be aware. Wear earplugs. Alright. What else do we have?

Benefits of fitness. Okay. I would imagine that's true. If you start exercising regularly when you're younger, it's probably easier than when when you're my age and you go, I should do that. Well, this this post has given me a a little bit of, hope, though, because the person who said benefits of fitness said my father started exercising regularly in his forties.

Nothing extreme, just consistent. He's now 87 years old and still in great shape. All of his doctors agree the reason he's in such good health is because he started exercising regularly. Alright. Yeah.

I mean, if I could make it to 70, I'd be pretty stoked. So it ain't too late. It ain't too late. I'm only 42. Alright.

Start younger if you can, kids. It does get tougher as you get older. You hear me? Oh, I just wanna go home and play video games. Oh, I just wanna relax, sleep in my recliner.

Alright. What else do we have here? The character of person they choose to have a long term relationship with or even marry. Single most important decision someone will ever make. I don't know if it's the single most important decision.

There's a lot of well, it's it's pretty important, though. But this is why I say don't get married when you're, like, 18. You know? Wait till you really get to know somebody. You don't have to get married just because you have kids or anything like that.

You can wait. But, you know, if things end up not working out, that divorce process, it's an it's not fun. It's brutal. It's brutal. Very bad on your mental health going through that.

Let's see. What else do we have here? Again, if you're just tuning in, these are things that, someone in their twenties might not realize would have a big impact in their forties or something like that. You're not trapped in your job, career path, hobbies, interests, or friendships. You are young, able to explore and try new things relatively consequence free.

Yeah. A lot of people start buckling down and getting ready to be an old person at 18. You know? Don't rush it. Don't rush it.

And, you know, they're they're saying, you know, you're not locked into your career path at 20. You're not locked into it at 40 either. You can always try new things. Alright? You can take things in a completely different direction.

Like I've said many times on the show here, if I got the boot, which I hope doesn't happen. I really enjoy what I get to do for a living. But if I got the boot, I don't think I'd go to radio insight.com and find myself a radio job in Alabama or something and move. I'd figure out something else to do. I mean, I'd probably immediately that same day be at home broadcasting live from my home studio going, alright.

Here we go. The unfiltered Victor Will Chew. Alright. Let's see. How long it takes to get good at things?

For example, if you wanna become a good writer, you will have to spend many hundreds of hours writing bad, mediocre, and decent text first. Same applies for painting, musical instruments, blah blah blah. As you age and gather responsibilities, your available energy and time for such activities will generally only decrease. Absolutely true. I beat myself up sometimes because I'm like, you know, I used to write these long epic songs.

I'd get these things recorded, this and that. Why can't I churn out music like I used to? Oh, yeah. For the last 20 years, I was raising children. There ain't a lot of time to sit down and spend hours each day working on a song or playing guitar.

You got things to do. So work on your hobbies when you're young. Absolutely. Absolutely. And, also put as much, effort and motivation into those things as you can because you could potentially really take things somewhere.

Dive in. Give it give it your all. And then people start getting sad. Oh, I'm just reading these with the look of dread on my face. It's gonna be okay.

Alright? As someone who is an expert at being 42, I've made tons of mistakes in my life. I've gone through crazy ups and downs. But, things right now, right at this moment are going better for me than they've gone in a really long time. Life is a challenge, and you're going to continuously have challenging moments, but trudge ahead.

Always try to keep going forward. And even if you make lots of mistakes when you're young, that's the best time to make them. Alright? Don't beat yourself up too bad over it. You can always come out the other side better.

I've learned a lot over the years, and part of getting sort of good at life because I think I'm o okay at life, I'm certainly not great at it, Is it learning things, learning from your mistakes, and just keep trying to move forward. Doing your best to go, alright, tomorrow's a new day. Try to stay positive. Things can turn around, and it it can be tough at times when you're having a real bad time. It can be easy to be really low and not have a lot of hope.

But I'm telling you, as someone who's been real low before, things can definitely turn around and get better. So that's very important for you young people to remember. You know, you look at being in your forties and, like, oh, that sounds scary. Life is over. No.

Each decade of my life has gotten a little better and better because I get better at doing this living thing. So take it from me. Alright? Trudge forward. Let's take a look at some questions online being posed by people wondering if they're a jerk.

I like these threads. They're usually a pretty good time. Am I the jerk for laughing at the name my sister chose for her baby? The thought of that makes me laugh. I'm sure that would be bothersome to a parent.

I came up with the perfect name for my baby, and he just bust out laughing. Alright. Well, let's find out here. Let's find out what was going on. My sister has always been obsessed with aesthetics.

Her whole house is beige and rather depressing, if I'm honest. The whole nursery she built for the baby is beige and gray and will not accept colorful gifts for the baby. Jeez. No. Gray toys only.

Some people are really weird. I can tell her husband hates it, but he won't admit it. Well, yeah, that's speculation. Alright. Now here's the issue.

I'm very prone to laughing at inappropriate times. I find it hard to filter what I say and my emotions, which can lead me to reacting to things in ways that can offend people. I didn't think this would cause issues until she revealed the name of her baby. So we had dinner, and we're all looking at my sister as she announces her baby will be named Brookley Dash Willow Rose, and then the last name that they did not include. Brookleeighdashwillow rose.

Well, I I thought it was gonna be way worse, but she still laughed and said, you cannot be serious. She's now been banned from all family dinners. And, alright. You should have just apologized right now. Like, sorry.

I I shouldn't have said you can't be serious. I just can't help but laugh sometimes. Didn't cover it well. You know, if you're a person that laughs at inappropriate times, because trust me. I laugh sometimes at things that maybe other people wouldn't.

You gotta make sure to cover for yourself. Be like, listen. Sorry. I couldn't I don't know what my problem is. I apologize.

I didn't mean to laugh there. I know that's inappropriate. Not you can't be serious. So I think that you can't be serious is what messed this up. So you kind of are a jerk.

Your family should know you laugh at inappropriate times. Alright? By this point in your life, so you just didn't cover yourself well. I got another person asking if they're a jerk for telling their neighbor to grow up, get a life, and get over the fact they painted their house a color he doesn't like. Well, you know how I feel about this one.

I think more people need to paint their house wacky colors, especially around here. We have the just dullest neighborhoods that I've maybe I've been through worse. But it's pretty bad around here as far as how dull and boring neighborhoods in East Idaho are. You drive around here in the winter, it's bleak. Alright?

Because there's nothing colorful anywhere. The sky is gray, overcast for 6 months and everything's painted beige, white, gray. Can we get a little red? You know, how about a nice purple? Alright.

Blue. What did they paint their house? Alright. They did a color scheme of sage blue and soft and dark pink accents. Fun and colorful without being too out there.

If you Google colors blue sage pink, you'll see a similar palette. Let me copy and paste this real quick here. Oh, a neighbor freaking out about that. That's as far as colorful goes, that's about as boring as it gets. I mean, it is more colorful than beige and gray, But that that looks like super tame to me.

Why would a neighbor get mad about that? I mean, I'm I'm I'm talking you know, let's go bold. Let's go neon pink. I mean, my house is to me not even bold enough. If I had the dough, I would definitely repaint it.

And, you know, just the the blackest of the black. It'd be awesome, but I ain't got the money. It's very expensive to paint your entire house, so not gonna happen anytime soon, but I I wouldn't even bat an eye at this color scheme this person had. They must have really uptight neighbors. So their neighbor has been complaining about it forever.

He also doesn't like their decorations. They have a little free library and, you know, little garden flags and, you know, little knickknacks and things, making their yard colorful. Well, then move, bro. Move to a neighborhood with an HOA where everything looks the same. There there there are plenty of places where they don't allow you to do anything fun to your house, and a lot of people like that.

They like the uniformity of the neighborhood. They like knowing their neighbor has to keep the place in a certain type of order. Yeah. Move, bro. Sorry.

I think if you live in a neighborhood without an HOA, you should be able to do whatever you want with your house. You know, and I just said I would paint my house bold black. I mean, if I could afford it, I'd have somebody cover my house in a mural so it looked completely insane. You know, like, maybe some, tool album art. Please make my house look like the front of the lateralis album cover.

Or at bare minimum, my garage. I've just got this big white garage door. Let's do something crazy with it. Why not? You know, if you're gonna sell it, you just paint over it.

Who cares? I don't know. I think people are nervous about having a good time. Now I don't know. You don't need to be super hostile to your neighbor.

This person did say they told their neighbor to grow up, get a life, and get over it. All you gotta say is, oh, I'm sorry. You don't like it, but this is this is my aesthetic. This is how I live. So, yeah, try to not fight with your neighbors.

But, like, the other day, I walked over to my neighbor's house. I live in a little cul de sac with a lot of retired people, and I got one of my neighbor's pieces of, mail. And I didn't think about this. I walked next door. I'm wearing a mastodon t shirt, and it's a shirt that I don't wear to work, because it has I mean, they're not like graphic naked ladies.

They look kinda like aliens or something, but it you know, they're you can see their butts, and they're climbing up a pyramid. It's a you know, it's mastodon art. It's weird. K? But I go next door to get my neighbors their mail.

And I noticed that, my neighbor Bev was looking at my shirt, and I I just kinda looked down and was like, oh, oh, jeez. I mean, it's not a bad shirt. It's almost tame enough that I would wear it to work, but it does sort of have naked ladies on it. It again, it doesn't, like, show anything other than a butt, but still. You know, I mean, she didn't say, what's up with that horrible shirt you're wearing?

No. Because we try to get along as neighbors and no. They're the nicest neighbors ever. The they're the I've got wonderful neighbors. It's great living in a neighborhood in a cul de sac where everybody around me is retired other than the fact that their yards all look a 1000000 times nicer than mine.

I hate being the guy in the cul de sac with my trashy looking, RV parking back to if I could afford I would pave the whole thing if I could afford it, but it costs a lot of money to redo your driveway. So, you know, I I do my best to keep the weeds chopped down because the gravel area you know, I I spray it and everything, but I I just don't have the time to get out there and, like, dig the thing out. There's there's a lot of weeds in there. So I have the worst yard in the cul de sac, but not the worst yard in the neighborhood. So I I do my best.

Alright? And, thankfully, my neighbors, I hope don't judge me too much. They're all great, but paint your house something wacky. Alright? It's Friday.

It's summertime, which means there's a lot to get out and do. You should get out and have some fun. A lot of different live music events happening this weekend. You wanna get out and support local music? Well, I got the scoop for you on a couple big events going on.

The newly opened AJ's Place, which has been a lot of different places over the years. You know, right out there next door to the Roadhouse on Lindsay Boulevard in Idaho Falls. You know, it it was an epic concert venue back in the day. I think what did, like, Motley Crue perform there? I mean, I saw Fear Factory there.

I've seen a bunch of bands there. Anyway, they're opened back up, and they've got an all ages show going down this, evening. No. Wait. Sorry.

Not this evening. What am I talking about? It's tomorrow. Tomorrow at AJ's, if you wanna get out and support some local metal and rock bands, they've got the DIRT show, the Desert of Idaho Rock Takeover event with Beast in the Sun, The Kingdom, Cycarian Impulse, Unveiled, Stiff Richard, Stone by Morning. And I don't know if this band's supposed to be I the font used on the, flyer is hard for me to read.

No no no square. Nate. N 8 n 8 square. N b n b square. I don't know, but it's gonna be a rock and metal show.

And it's only $10 at the door. Doors open at 5 o'clock. Show at or doors open at 4. Show at 5 tomorrow night at AJ's. And, veterans and current service or military members get in for free.

Be a lot of fun. A lot of great bands. Did I say all ages? 16 plus. Sorry.

But they do have a bar area food. Really cool venue. If you haven't been out there, AJ's, go check out some rock and metal. And then we also have the, South Fork Fest, which I talked about as well recently. And that's going on out near Hisey.

If you wanna get info on this event, go to southforkfest.com. You got, like, the opscomatrice, my homies in hot pursuit, loot, peak theory, spudmother. Great fun lineup out there as well. You can go out and camp. And, again, get details on that one at southforkfest.com.

That's going down tonight and tomorrow. So you you could really jump all over East Idaho. You could go check out some rock and metal. You could go check out a variety of styles of music at the South Fork Fest. So, yeah, why not go to both?

You know, go out tonight, South Fork Fest, camp out tomorrow afternoon. Go hit up the show at AJ's. Go back out and camp some more. It's a great weekend to support live local music. So you should.

Alright? Get out and support all my homies in these bands. Guess I better put some gas in the truck. Guess I better. Freak news powered by Grease Monkey voted Idaho's best oil change.

Alright. Let's talk about people burning themselves. TikTok trends. You gotta be very careful when it comes to TikTok trends. Even if you're a responsible adult and trying to help your kids take part in a fun, delicious TikTok trend.

Apparently, a new one is something that they call Jolly Rancher Tangaloo or Jolly Rancher grapes. So you melt a bunch of Jolly Ranchers in a bowl in the microwave and then you take a grape, stick it with a toothpick, and you dip it into the liquid candy giving the grapes a hard candy coating. It sounds delicious and fun. Right? Well, tell your 9 year old kid is carrying the bowl of hot liquid candy, and then they stumble and just pour that liquid all over their hands.

I bet that hurts bad. I bet that hurts really bad. Like, let me offer you older people some advice, people in their twenties. You might see people doing flaming shots from time to time. People take like fire water light the shot and then they blow it out and take the shot.

If you fail to blow out the shot and you happen to spill that on your hand it hurts really bad. Really bad. Alright? Just don't do it. Flaming shots, don't do it.

It might look fun and neat but it's a horrible idea. And if you're going to take part in a TikTok trend that involves hot liquid candy with your children, maybe you should carry the bowl. Alright? The mother was quoted as he screamed bloody murder. Well, yeah.

I would imagine. Have you ever spilled hot liquid on yourself? Imagine if you're 9, and then it hardens on your hands like wax, but worse. Oh, speaking of wax, apparently, some Trader Joe's candles have been recalled for a fire hazard. One of the dumbest articles I've seen.

Yeah. 653,000 scented candles recalled due to fire hazard. Okay. Apparently, the flame can spread to the wax, and then the actual whole candle just bursts into flame. It's not the typical, oh, you know, I put the candle too close to the curtains, and I'm I'm kind of a jerk of a dad.

I would never let my kids burn candles because I was afraid they were gonna burn the house down. I was like, no. You can't do it. Just because one time, I had a friend, like, light their wall on fire with a candle, and it horrified me because I'm just paranoid about my house burning down. So no.

You're not allowed to have candles. No. But, yeah, that that would be, kinda nightmarish if an entire candle burst into flames. So if you have a mango tangerine Trader Joe's Joe Trader Joe's scented candle, throw it in the garbage. Alright.

I guess you can drive all the way to Salt Lake and get your $4 refund. Wow. That that that's great. What else do we have for freak news powered by Grease Monkey? Millennials and gen z are spiraling, partying hard, and blowing their savings.

Why? Well, the millennials, I don't know. You're old enough to know better. Gen z, because they're young. Yeah.

Best time to make stupid irresponsible decisions is when you're in your twenties, And so you can learn a lesson and get your act together by the time you're in your thirties. That's Victor Wilt life advice for you right there. Man. Yeah. This this kid, Jacob Forrest, 24 years old.

I'm not a kid, man. Peaches get mad when I call him a kid. My kids get mad when I call them kids. It's like you're always gonna be kids. If you're younger than me, you're a kid.

Yeah. He says he's spiraling. Says he just feels himself kinda letting the days go by. And, we go downtown and we party. What's wrong with me?

You're young and you haven't learned better. Alright? And, also, we're living in stressful times. I'm sure that the constant doom and gloom that we've seen for many, many years in the news, that's gotta have some type of an impact on people's mental health and lead them to spiraling out of control and self destructing. You know, as someone who understands self destructive behavior I mean, I I can empathize with these younger people.

I don't know what it is to get some type of strange joy out of self destructive behavior. You know, afterward, like, shouldn't have drank all that booze, shouldn't have spent all that money at the bar. But in the heat of the moment, you just don't care if you're a self destructive person. Young people who are going through this, if you ever need somebody to talk to, talk to older people. They can give you some good advice and tips on getting by.

And just try to not let your social media feed or the news tell you that everything's horrible and the world's burning down. I've said it many times on this show, and I stand by this statement that we are living in the best times ever regardless of what other people might tell you. K? Sure. There are things that we need to make better in this world.

And, yes, it's a struggle right now with inflation and the cost of housing and groceries and things, but there's so much that is good. And I really truly believe that we are in the best times ever right now. Might be because I'm easily entertained. Alright? The the piles of entertainment at my fingertips on a daily basis.

Easy to block out the doom and gloom. But, yeah, I don't know. If you've got family and friends, people you can confide in, good people around you, always try to focus on the good because I I see ridiculous doom and gloom when it comes to the news. Is somebody gonna call and try to tell me everything's terrible? Let's find out.

Alright, K Bear. You gotta kinda make it quick because we're wrapping this up, but you're live on the show. Who's this? Oh, this is, Max. Max, what's up, dude?

Oh, nothing. I was, actually calling to see if I could request, slipknot, wait, and bleed. I could probably get that going for you, I I suppose. It's Friday. I'm feeling friendly.

Feeling nice. You know, I appreciate you. Thank you. You're welcome, Max. You have a great weekend.

You too, brother. Bye. See you. See, look at that. I could have chosen to have been like, Max, you're off topic.

How dare you? But, staying positive. Alright? Because times are good. Everything's gonna be okay, everybody.

It's gonna be okay. Have you ever seen the movie Casino? Alright. The movie Casino is based on the story of the Stardust Casino in Las Vegas and the mob running it and all the chaos that, you know, surrounded that casino back in the seventies eighties. Well, I think it was about 10 years ago, maybe a little bit longer.

Probably longer. They demolished the stardust. Alright? And eventually ended up building Resorts World Las Vegas. Well, Resorts World Las Vegas, which is the most boring named casino I could possibly imagine, and it even kinda looks boring.

It looks like a rip off of the win. Anyway, supposed to be a pretty nice place. But should it be surprising whatsoever that they've been accused of catering to individuals with ties to organized crime? I mean, it's Vegas in casinos, so you just kind of assume. There's gotta be some shady dealings going on.

But it's on the site of the old Stardust Casino. You walk in. They've they've got I've seen video of this. You know, homages to the legendary Stardust Casino as you walk around in there. So why would anybody be surprised that they might welcome certain individuals with suspected or actual ties to illegal bookmaking, histories of federal felony convictions related to illegal gambling businesses, and ties to organized crime.

Yeah. I guess, they've got some type of a disciplinary complaint being leveled at them by the Nevada gaming board. Anyway, you'd think that they would have, dove in on this one right out of the gate. You know, the first thing you see when you walk in is a a big mural for the stardust. Like, okay.

These these folks, okay. Maybe they are just trying to pay homage again to the the history of this plot, or they just really liked that that casino and the way it was operating. I don't know if anything's gonna come out of this or not, but yeah. When you think Las Vegas, even in the modern age, if you've been there, you know, there's a dark underbelly of Las Vegas. Alright?

It's there's a no vibe, like, whatever that vibe is in Vegas, and it's both terrible and great. It's the weirdest weirdest city that, I've been to. And by the way, if you're gonna book a Vegas vacation, I've said this many times, make it a 3 day vacation, Max. There's only so much you can take of that place. Alright.

If you're in a difficult relationship, it is advisable to get into couples counseling if you're going through difficult times. You may be able to get some advice and some techniques to help you work through things and come out the other side in a nice healthy relationship. But if you've been fighting all day, you're on your way to couples counseling. Your significant other tells you, get out. Get out of the car.

Don't walk in front of it. After you get out, There was a Minnesota couple. Oh, this is how their day began. They're screaming and yelling, fighting at each other. They're on their way to therapy, and I guess the boyfriend's like, you know what?

I I wanna break up. So the girlfriend tells him, get out. So he does, and he exits and walks in front of the car. She hit the gas. Oh, jeez.

That's, pretty horrifying. That's pretty pretty scary. I don't you never know. You never know what somebody might do when they're angry. That's why I tell you, you know, if you're in a road rage situation, don't engage with the other driver.

You got somebody, following you? Drive to the police station. Alright? Drive to a very public place while calling 911. Don't try to engage with this crazy person.

Alright? So she hits the gas, smashes into him. He breaks the windshield, goes flying over the car. Well, and then she went to jail as you would expect. Did they go to more couples counseling after that?

No. No details on that in the article. I mean, people forgive people for for things. I'd say it's possible that you like somebody enough. They could hit you with a car, and you'd stick with them.

You'd have to really like them. He's gonna be alright. He's gonna be alright. So again, yeah, anybody ever throws you out of a car, don't walk in front of it. You might have a really bad time.

Peaches in the house. What is happening, Peaches? Well, I'm now trying to solve a mystery within the building. A mystery. Oh, boy.

I better get some mysterious unsolved mysteries music going. What's the mystery, Peaches? You I think you are the last person to use the restroom. I mean, that would have been a good hour and a half ago. Well, I went to the restroom not that long ago.

Mhmm. I went to go, you know, do my usual business and I go to the the toilet and I see it's stuffed, and I mean to the brim, with toilet paper. So this is the actual toilet, not the urinal? Yes. K.

When I'm I've I've talked about this before how it frustrates me when people just show up to work and then decide, well, time to poo on the company dime. That's right. I don't do that. Uh-huh. You know?

Public bathrooms for me, that's emergency situations only when it comes to that. Alright? I did not go in that stall, so it was not me. I figured it wasn't you. I'm just trying to figure out who it was because, like I said, the whole toilet filled to the brim with toilet paper.

It felt like somebody just walked in there and the toilet paper, I feel like somebody just shoved clean toilet paper into the toilet and then didn't bother to flush and just left. Because I went in there, noticed it, tried flushing it, wouldn't go down. Oh, great. The toilet's clogged. Yes.

Now I gotta go to East Idaho News' side and go use their restroom and I'm sure they'll be frustrated with me using their one and only restroom. Maybe it was someone from their side who came over here and clogged ours. But why would they do that if they have their own restroom over there? Maybe somebody was in it. And I've already seen some people on this end of the building, you know, not follow rules with that bathroom when it comes to, you know, turning the lights off during business hours which you're not supposed to.

That's right. Leave the fan on. Right. And Fan on. Stink out.

Fan on. I even have a sign there in bold letters, do not turn the lights off. I don't know how to read and so they turn off the lights. Well, I can tell you this, Peaches. I would not fill the toilet up with TP for fun.

I didn't think you would do that. You're a very, clean freak guy. That's right. That's right. So I don't know who did that.

But, I'm gonna have to go check this out and see if it's, as bad as you say. Well, I told Josh from Classy 90 7, and he he it wasn't him either. K. But But who's gonna take the responsibility of going in there and getting the toilet working? Right.

And where's Jake Davis when we need him? He's, doing some, operations management stuff. He's not even in the building, I don't think. His office door was closed. So then when we talk about the pecking order around here and fixing things, it's probably gonna fall on me to fix the toilet.

I can do so. I can unplug it. Alright. Well, we're gonna go, look at the toilet, everybody. I have the longest arm, so if we to put, like, this, like, long glove on for me to reach down and, like, pull toilet paper out, I can do so.

What is wrong with people? Why would you fill the toilet up with TP like that? That's ridiculous. Anyway, I guess we gotta go scope the TP situation. While we do that, you should get signed up to win that awesome prize package that we talked about at the end of Traffic School.

Multiple meet and greet packages with VIP upgrades and all kinds of incredible stuff to go along with the meet and greets for the in this moment ice 9 kills and Avatar show. And if you missed any part of the, announcement, any thing involving one of the meet and greet packages, it's all listed on Facebook, the Facebook group, Instagram, threads, I believe as well. No. Not threads. Threads wouldn't allow me to put that much text into one post.

That's because there's so many prizes. Yeah. It's it's a great deal, and I'm jealous of that one person who gets to have the in this moment become the show experience. Yeah. Which that is by far the coolest prize package I've ever seen.
