The Viktor Wilt Show

So I was looking through some articles at eastidahonews.com, trying to find something to yap about to start the show today. And for some reason, there's an article about how Ruby and Kevin Frankie are now officially divorced. Now if you've never heard of these people, there's a documentary on Hulu called Devil in the Family. Watched this recently with my lady, and it it's a pretty bothersome documentary. It's about this family in Utah, a very popular vlogging YouTuber family.

You know, they made all this money pretty much exploiting their children, you know, for views. And then Ruby Franke just goes crazy. I I don't wanna spoil it. Many people around here have probably heard the story since it's fairly local, and that's probably why there's an article about this. I mean, if you're into true crime documentaries, I'd say it's worth watching, but it's it's very aggravating too.

Because not only is Ruby Franke an aggravating human being and she belongs where she is now, I guess I will spoil it. She's in jail, and she should be. But her husband, man, this guy I just wanted to jump through the TV and just slap the crap out of him. This guy, Kevin Franke. Oh, what an aggravation this guy is.

You know, I I just don't understand people who can put their spouse before their children. Like, like, in this way, this it's just great. I, again, I don't wanna get into the dark aspects of the story. But this guy, you know, for pretty much no reason, his wife kicks him out of the house, and he just didn't talk to any of his kids for a year. And during that year is when things went really bad, really bad.

He even had if if I recall correctly, some of his older children, maybe his older daughter reached out and tried to get a hold of him. He wouldn't pick up the phone. And this guy, I don't know, watching the documentary. It's like he plays himself as this total victim who'd been brainwashed and all this guy. But, anyway, they're officially divorced now.

That's in the news from KSL, reposted by East Idaho News. Again, I I know it's a somewhat local story, but, oh, that guy, Kevin Franke. Man, I hate that guy. He's so, so, despicable. Anyway, check out the documentary if you wanna watch a somewhat localized, true crime doc, devil in the family.

Thankfully, in the end, everything I'm I I shouldn't even say it's okay. Those kids gotta be messed up for life. Oh, alright. It's our, I guess, monthly reminder to talk to your old people. Got a Utah man losing about a hundred $86,000 in a romance scam.

Man, you gotta feel sorta bad for these old people, all lonely, and then they get duped by Internet scammers, their grandkids losing out on that inheritance. I mean, you've heard me before. If I could get $5, I'm happy. Every extra dollar, every extra penny counts. Well, if this guy was your grandpa.

Sorry. Could be. I mean, it's a Provo guy. Yeah. He was contacted by a woman or, well, someone claiming to be a woman in Maryland, and they emailed back and forth for several months.

Then eventually, she asked him for money to help her claim an inheritance. Sound familiar? Yeah. Pretty much the, Nigerian prince scam. Mhmm.

So the guy started just handing over cash, made over 20 payments, each to different accounts with a different name using cash apps like PayPal, etcetera. And, yeah, he's he's just out the dough because it wasn't real. There was a video call at one point. They never met in person, but there was a video call at one point, and they believe it was probably AI generated by the suspects who, you know, sadly, with these situations, they rarely seem to track down the scammer. So if you meet someone online, you can meet people online, alright, and get to know them.

There are real people online. But if they start asking you for cash, might be time to meet up in person and have a a nice in-depth chat. In this day and age, you can't just buy a video call. No. You need, like, absolute proof this person is legit.

And her promise was that she would, you know, move to Utah and hang out with the guy or whatever. Maybe before you hand over the money. Sure. Move in for a while. Let's see if we get along.

Before I kick you down, $186,000. So, anyway, just talk to your old people in your life. Let them know about these scams because, you know, things are expensive enough as it is. You're trying to get by as a retiree. That hundred $86 would probably be handy.

Would a hundred $86 be handy to you? I know it would change my life. Anyway, good luck to the the elders out there. Just try to use a little bit of, critical thought. Be suspicious.

It's okay to be suspicious. You don't wanna be left empty handed. Empty bank account. Alright. Let's keep moving.

Hold on. Hold on. This is too funny. Too funny. The second I got done doing that break, I get a text message from well, let's see.

Sean u Hammeth four three five or it doesn't matter. Here's the text message. Hi. I'm Jana. Nice to meet you.

I am looking for the other half of my life. Someone who can accompany me through life. I am 36 years old and single. I like polite men. If you are very similar to me, please leave me a WhatsApp message now.

I believe we can be each other's life partners. We can share each other's lives and understand each other better. Here's my WhatsApp number. Do you think she, wants some money? I can't believe that showed up right when I got done doing that break.

This is how old people get trapped. I'm lonely. Who responds to these messages? I don't know. I mean, a complete stranger texts you.

Sure. Sure. Be my life partner. Oh, man. People are I I don't wanna call people dumb.

We are living in interesting times with technology advancing rapidly. Be aware people can, just send these messages to random phone numbers. They don't know who you are. Well, let's talk about stupid things that Idaho is making the national news for. This is so dumb.

Could could people just settle down around here so we stop looking like crazy people? I've lived here my whole life. We're not crazy people. I mean, I'm kinda crazy, but we're not that kinda crazy. Why is it that every time Idaho makes national news, we just look stupid?

You know? Let's talk about the phrase, everyone is welcome. That's right. Everyone is welcome here. I'm sure you've seen this making the rounds.

It's national news. There was a teacher, I believe, in the Boise area who had a sign in a classroom that you would see probably in most any classroom in any school anywhere in the country. Says everyone is welcome here and, you know, has a bunch of hands with little hearts on them, you know, with different skin tones, and that's it. Everyone is welcome here. Apparently, this is a political message.

And so it must be removed from our skews. And it's become a, major controversy. Now logical human beings think this is pretty stupid. Right? That anyone would be offended by a sign that says everyone is welcome here.

Who is that sign against? No one. So, anyway, due to some of the, crazy that is being implemented by our legislators, teacher had to take the sign down or at least was ordered to take the sign down. So the community, it was in Meridian. The community came out, showed up at the school, and they did a little bit of a protest by taking sidewalk chalk and, writing messages like everyone is welcome here on the sidewalk and hearts and, you know, all kinds of positive messages because I don't know about you, but to me, making every child feel welcome at school, I I don't think that's a bad thing.

Alright? Well, the school got the old fire hose out, got rid of that horrible messaging on the sidewalk there. And I saw somebody commenting like, well, yeah. We don't need to put up with vandalism. It's sidewalk chalk.

Okay? Nobody showed up with spray paint and spray painted everyone is welcome here on the side of an elementary school. No. It was a community gathering of parents and children using sidewalk chalk, but apparently, that's offensive to people too. What what is going on?

What is going on in this state? I mean, if there is anybody out there listening who is offended by the phrase everyone is welcome here, you gotta talk to somebody. Something's wrong. Something's wrong if that is a bothersome and offensive phrase to you. So as my own form of protest, since kids can't read that sign at school, I made that sign my, Facebook profile cover photo, and, it's a very minor form of protest.

Uh-oh. Can I hang that up in the studio here? Everyone is welcome here. I put a little asterisk except Jade. Oh, man.

I really hope our state can get it together. I'm I'm tired of us making national news and looking like embarrassments. You know, I I know we're, for the most part, logical people here. So if we could start or if we could stop fighting back against good messaging, that would be fantastic, wouldn't it? Anyway, just if you if you're looking for a very minor way to protest, you can do it like me and make that your Facebook cover photo.

I wonder if I lost any Facebook friends because of that one. If somebody deleted me because I posted everyone is welcome here, I guess good riddance. Alright. Do you hear me often enough complain about how I'm tired because of the, you know, strange hour of the day I get moving at? It's not normal.

You're not supposed to operate in that way. I think we need to shift all of society to, you know, the earliest the workday can start for anyone, 8AM. Maybe I'm just not sleeping good enough. Maybe I need to sleep with my socks on. Doesn't that sound awful?

Apparently, people who sleep in socks fell asleep nearly eight minutes faster and slept thirty two minutes longer than those who didn't in a recent study. I don't know why, but it's not comfortable to sleep in socks, But maybe it is. Maybe we've been duped our entire lives into thinking. You shouldn't sleep with your socks on. Maybe I should give it a go.

That wouldn't be so, you know, groggy at this time of day. Pounding down. Instant coffee shooter after instant coffee shooter. Why don't you try it for me and let me know how it works out for you. Alright.

It just doesn't sound comfortable. It's like sleeping with pants on. I know some people sleep in pajamas, but I I don't know how you sleep in pajama pants. Alright? Not gonna get into all my sleep habits here.

K? Anyway, what else do we have here? Oh, find some hobbies for your children that don't involve the Internet whatsoever. No connected devices. You need to get them into, reading books or, I don't know, whittling.

Okay. Maybe not whittling because you need that would be giving a small child a knife. Something that's not harmful but also doesn't require the Internet because you might end up, like this family. Jeez. Three teenage girls in custody after planning to kill their mom because she turned off the Wi Fi in the house.

Yikes. Yeah. They, grabbed kitchen knives and chased their mother through the house and into the street. One of the teens, threw a brick at the mom. Hopefully, those children are going away for a long time.

That's a horrible story, but is it really surprising? Phone eviction's a real thing, and I've talked about the couple of times that I left my house and realized I didn't have my phone, was excited for a minute, and then still went back and got it. I don't think I'd chase anyone with a knife if I suddenly couldn't use my phone, though. That'd be great in in some ways I just you know kind of like to think back to the days when you couldn't be reached every second of every day it's kind of hard to escape now because you you want to go for a mountain drive. You're like, well, what if my tire blows up?

I'm gonna need that phone. All right. What else do we have here? Another, type of activity that I'm not a fan of, as you may know, is in a venturing into natural waters. Like, I wouldn't wanna go on a cruise, I don't think.

Here's another reason to not go on a cruise. Passengers told to turn off bedroom lights and stay alert as they pass through waters known for piracy. Hey. You're on a cruise ship. What good's it gonna do to turn the lights off?

Pretty sure that a cruise ship can be spotted by pirates. You're just trying to enjoy a vacation? Next thing you know, your boat's taken over. People are getting killed. Jeez.

Stay in your room. Turn the lights off. Stay alert. What what are you gonna do? I see him.

I see the pirate. You can't start screaming and yelling. You're out on the open seas. I don't know. I've I've been on the ocean in a boat, but I was close to land.

I don't know if somebody could hear you yell from one boat to the other if you're, you know, out there a ways, but pirate infested waters, that doesn't tend to be something you see on the, the commercials. Right? Take the Disney cruise. Yikes. Alright.

Well, it was a little easier to find some freak news today than it was yesterday, but still kinda light Still kinda light and tough. We'll see how it goes for the rest of the show. Alright. Let's give away some concert tickets. You know you wanna go to the show.

Right? 03:11 live at the Portnapelle Trust Amphitheater in Pokey. Heck. Yes. You wanna go for free.

Here's what you gotta do. First, you need to be caller number 15. Now pay attention because there's a part two. Alright? If you're caller number 15 right now at (208) 535-1015, I am going to play you some ASMR style audio featuring some three eleven lyrics.

You need to correctly identify the song, and then once you do so, you win the tickets to the show. If you don't get it right, you got ten seconds to tell me what song it is, then we move on to the next caller. So 2085351015 right now. Gonna give away a pair of tickets to see three eleven Bad Flower and Sitting on Saturn at the Portniff Health Trust Amphitheater in Pokey, August Sixteenth. Again, first be caller number 15, then correctly identify the song through the audio that I play for you, and you'll win a pair of tickets to the show.

So call me up and good luck. (208) 535-1015. your caller number 15. Who's this? Hey.

Alright. I'm gonna play you some audio here. Listen closely to the lyrics, and then you got ten seconds to identify the song. Hang on. Here we go.

Lightning strikes yo. We be in that violent force of light guaranteed to turn it out as bad as Dolomite. Alright, man. What song is it? Is it down?

We got a winner. Correct. It was down. Alright, man. I got a pair of tickets for you for the upcoming show, August 16 at the Portnoy Fell Trust Amphitheater.

Hang on the line so I can get your info. And who's your favorite radio station, man? K Bear one zero one. Oh, I like the excited yell. That's great.

And here, if you wanna hear that section of the song, check this out, everybody. There you go. That was it. It's a lot different when you're hearing the lyrics in that AMS ASMR style voice. So alright.

Congrats to our winner. Keep listening for your chance to win right here on KBAIR. Yeah. I guess we could talk about HOAs. Sure.

I don't think I would ever live in an area with an HOA. Or is it a HOA? Okay. This guy lives in one and his h o a fined him for leaving his garbage cans visible saying, you know, those garbage cans look trashy and his, you know, his response was basically, well, yeah. They're garbage cans.

Now I don't have a lot of sympathy for this guy because he knows that he lives in an HOA. He's like, I won't put my garbage cans in my garage because that's my home gym. So he puts his garbage cans out in his yard, and they're like, no. It's a no go. 50 is it $50 a day they were fining him?

All I know is he was fine $50, and he got all mad. Yeah. Daily fine. So he built a bat house. Now you can, I guess, build these?

His is pretty cool looking. It looks like a little haunted house on a giant pole sticking up over his house, and it's a place where bats can make homes. And I guess because bat sanctuaries are protected, the HOA can't force him to get rid of it. So he's like, I got you. Yeah.

But if he's got his garbage cans out front, he's still gonna have to pay $50 a day. You know, dude, just put your garbage can somewhere else. I'm all for people building these little, bat sanctuary houses. That's great. But if you live in an HOA, they've got the rules.

I I don't know. You you have to follow them. If you don't want to, you move to somewhere where you don't have the HOA hovering over your every move. But I guess, he stuck it to him. He built a bat house on a pole.

Anyway, he got 3,000,000 followers online off of it. So I guess he can probably afford the $50 a day. It's a waste of money as far as I'm concerned, but sometimes you gotta pay to make a statement. Architects, everything ends. Hey.

What's up? It's Victor Wilt. Morning. Alright. Knocking down Wednesday, which is great.

Wish I didn't have anything I needed to do today. That would be nice, but just a busy week ahead. Busy week and a half ahead. Then a little bit of a breather. Oh, I cannot wait.

Cannot wait. But in the meantime, maybe that's why I'm so exhausted. My brain going over everything that needs to be completed in a week and a half. Oh, it's painful. Okay.

Now I shouldn't shouldn't complain to you. You might be out roofing or something right now. I'm sitting here in a box listening to music, reading the news, trying to find fun things to talk about. Oh, there's a lot of funny going on. Not gonna dive into it.

I just wanna remind people, you don't have to defend everything. K? Sometimes you can just accept things and go, yeah. People are dumb. People are dumb.

That was a mistake. What an idiot. And then move along. We have gotta, like, break people free from being so addicted to being on one side or the other politically. You know?

You gotta be able to admit when your side's being stupid. I I admit it. You know? The side I tend to lean for, yep, pretty much gutless. You know, just caving to everything, doing nothing to, fight for their constituents.

They're worthless. So you know it's okay if you wanna fill that about your side as well sometimes you know we got tools on all sides like I've mentioned many times no qualifications to be a politician It's a popularity contest. I'd run. I'd run, but there are unfair rules, unfair FCC guidelines that a handful of careers, you're you're kinda screwed if it if you ever wanted to run for for politics. Basically, if you work in broadcast media.

Yeah. TV, broadcast TV, or radio. You ain't gonna have a very good time if you wanna run for office. If you're a TikTok influencer, you're good to go. So dumb.

Well, they are talking about, modifying the FCC rules and such. Will it be done in a way that, actually benefits, those working in media? Well, probably not, but we can hope. Wouldn't it be fun if on, like, regular TV and radio, all of a sudden we could play the songs normal with the naughty words in them? That'd be pretty cool.

Yeah. Satellite radio can do it. YouTube can do it. Spotify. Everywhere that people listen to music aside from radio can play the normal songs.

You know, one one thing they might wanna consider if they wanna keep it a viable medium is maybe getting it on par with all of these other platforms. Get rid of that, you know, equal airtime rule for, you know, politics as well as, you know, get rid of some of them, stupid restrictions. Anyway, just whining. I'm just whining. I need more coffee.

I I shouldn't drink more coffee this early, but, my motivation at an all time low. So I'm gonna go get some of that, maybe send a letter to the FCC about my thoughts, and, I'll be back. Alright? Cool. Cool.

It is funny that they put a busy signal at the end of that song. I it's been pointed out many times, so thank you to everybody who's done so. Maybe a dial tone's something he can't put in a song. I don't know. Busy signal's annoying, though.

And most young people would not even know what a busy signal is. Maybe that's it. Catch your breath, younger dudes. Maybe they've never heard a busy signal. They googled it up, and that's the first sound that came up.

Dial tone. Alright. Put that in the song. It'll be sweet. Alright.

Yeah. It's like I've said recently, tough doing this program because the news is just not fun. But thankfully at eastidahonews.com, you know, they they got these features sections where you can look at stuff that's not dealing with politics, like tasty Tuesday. There you go. Why don't you bake some monkey bread with biscuits for your kids?

It looks looks pretty tasty. Looks pretty tasty. All you need are biscuits, butter, and cinnamon. Alright. I like an easy recipe.

Three ingredients. Fantastic. I mean, there's a lot of different sections you can check out there. They have the, seven questions with Emmy section where Nate Eaton's daughter, Emmy, interviews celebrities and things like that. She recently interviewed, Dana Tanamachi, world renowned artist.

Also, world reporter Benjamin Hall, Idaho Falls Spud King's captain, Leon Donovan, and many other people. So you can look at those, nice wholesome interviews. You could even, learn about gardening. I don't know. Go check it out at east idaho news dot com because it's not political.

Yeah. And that, as far as the news goes, is kind of a relief in this day and age. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show. This program is a production of Riverbend Media Group. To contact the show or for more information, hit us up at riverbend media group dot com.
