#0159 - Call And Tell Us About The Songs You Hate! - 02/19/2025

Hey, my people. Thanks for hanging out with me, kicking off your Wednesday with the Viktor Wilt show. Alright. We're gonna do the pros and cons of peaches. Not sure if he's listening right now, but I'm sure he will fire up my show eventually to see what I did to start the day.

And Peaches loves it when I, you know, talk crap about him when he's not in the studio. So I figured that would be a great way to start the show today. And like I said, we're gonna do pros and cons. Let's start with the cons because that's more fun. I think Peaches has been a little antsy in the studio as of late because I've been noticing day by day when I come in, the microphone alright.

It's in this mount that, is designed to, you know, for one, make it easy to manipulate, move around so we can get it positioned properly for doing the show. But it's also got a shock mount attached to it so if you bump the mic it doesn't you know sound like you hit it with a brick. Now the shock mount I've been noticing in recent weeks has been getting more and more screwed up. It's basically a plastic ring to which the microphone is held in the middle with a bunch of elastic cord. And this cord seems to just be breaking left and right.

And the only way I can see this happening is somebody just being finicky with it. Just tinkering with it. Peaches. Playing with the cord. So I come in today and the microphone was like I mean, it was barely hanging on the shock mount.

It was a disaster. So I ended up tying the broken cord together but I mean it wasn't even like attached in the areas that weren't broken. So I don't know what if Peaches needs a fidget spinner. You know? You remember those?

They were popular for a while. Or maybe I get him one of those little games where you you push the bubbles in like as fast as you can. You gotta follow the lights and push the little bubbles in. Just something, you know, he can do with his hands instead of monkeying with this microphone. Now let's do the, the pros of Peaches.

Now that I, you know, made fun of him for his fidgeting in the studio and messing up the microphone shock mount, I do wanna point out that Peaches launched a new podcast yesterday called talking between the songs. You can find it everywhere podcasts can be found. I've listened to, I don't know, maybe half of the first episode, which was with, hang on, John Camucci from, my FM in LA. He just did a really good job with this new podcast. I gotta give him props for it.

It sounds very professional. You know, he's interviewing radio people about what they do in the industry and things like that. And I know I found it interesting as a radio person. If you're into listening to radio, I would imagine it could be insightful and fun for you. So check it out.

Talking between the songs. Again, everywhere podcast can be found. And whenever I'm a guest on it, I'll make sure to ask him, you know, hey. Do you need a fidget spinner, bro? What can I do to help you not just fiddle with the microphone shock mount peaches no he did a really good job on his podcast so I'm proud of him it it sounded very professional and good So nicely done, Peaches?

Alright. We're getting rolling. I think I'll critique some of the people who comment on my Instagram posts here in a minute. People are dumb. They anyway, we'll get into that in a minute.

Alright? People be dumb. People need to take a little bit more time before commenting. Yesterday, I did a break about this fake post I saw on Facebook about Chris Stapleton, critiquing Beyonce's win for best country album at the Grammys, and it was just a straight up manufactured post. Chris Stapleton Stapleton said nothing whatsoever about Beyonce that I could find anyhow.

And this post had at the time I made the the break and made a little video about it, a 60,000 likes. And it had been shared, like, 8,000 times on Facebook just spreading straight up lies and misinformation. So I made a little Instagram video about it. You know, just trying to make some content for the station and well, we had a a lot of people chiming in. Oh my gosh.

Some guy just barely commented that whoops. Hold on. I'm I need to turn the volume down. One of those people who, has my phone cranked up, just blasting whatever audio I've got coming out of it in public. Good thing I'm by myself.

One guy just commented that that post is now up over 400,000 likes on Facebook. I don't think people should be able to make up quotes from, anybody and share them as fact. I think that's trashy and wrong. I know I'd be furious if I was Chris Stapleton that something attributed to me was going viral online. So anyway, I made this video about it.

It's getting some decent traction on Instagram, and we got a bunch of people chiming in who clearly didn't watch anything but the first five seconds of the video. You know? Not true. Like, yeah. That's the point of the video is that the post is not true.

Did you watch the video? They had to because I didn't put up any kind of caption or anything. Well, let's see. Oh, okay. No.

I did caption it. I'm sorry. I meant I didn't put up any kind of, you know, subtitles or, you know, words on the screen. So I'm guessing oh, I even put hashtag fake, hashtag dumb. So I I don't know.

But multiple people in the comments talking about how the post is fake. This guy, this post is fake. Like, if you wanna be taken serious, you can't be talking about fake posts. But I was talking about how the post was fake. That's the entire point of the video.

Watch the video before you leave me a comment. I don't know. I would assume that's not one of our actual listeners. So it's okay if I call him a moron. Right?

Now, are you a moron if you comment without actually watching what somebody has to say is it is it dumb or is it just ignorant I don't know but anyhow I think I might have found a, good route to making Instagram content. I just gotta start talking about fake posts and how they're fake. It's getting this interaction. You know, we're unfortunately not getting people who are actually paying attention, but I'm sure the algorithm likes, you know, people commenting who aren't followers or followers of our page. Idiots, man.

Idiots. I've just been scrolling comments on East Idaho news. I should be digging up stupid wacky things to share with you, but I'm just pouring through comments. You know, I gotta say the amount of outrage toward Idaho state government I'm seeing from locals. I don't think I've ever seen this before.

I'm digging it. I want to remind you, however, that leaving comments on social media is not the way to actually get the attention of our legislature. You can call them. Yeah. You can call them.

You can email them. All you gotta do. If you wanna find out who locally you need to reach out to, if you have a, complaint or concern, or, you know, maybe you wanna go good job, all the above, whatever, Google up Idaho legislature phone numbers, and you'll get a link right at the top for contacting legislators. You click on that link. It takes you to the Idaho legislature website, and, you can search by district.

If you're not sure what your district is, there's a district map you can pull up and go, oh, that's where I live, then go contact by district, and, yeah, it'll it'll bring up all their phone numbers, email addresses, and you can go ahead and let them know, hey. I either agree or disagree with everything that you're up to. And, you know, maybe if, there are a flood of emails and phone calls and things, because I doubt they're scrolling the comment section of the local news. You know? Too busy throwing together new bills for the next, you know, crazy thing, in my opinion in my opinion the next crazy thing.

So yeah. I mean, even I myself, I'm just as guilty as everybody else about, leaving my comments and being like, yeah. Look at that. I I let everybody in the comments know what I think. No.

You gotta get ahold of them. So, might have to make some phone calls and just go, hey. Here's Victor Wilt's thoughts on this. But, yeah, again, Google Idaho legislature phone numbers, and you can find the contact information for all of your local representatives and let them know what you think about the job that's being done. Every state, you know, maybe you're listening to this on demand.

Google your own state and, you know, either give them some encouragement or let them know what you think about the job being done if, you know, you've got concerns. So just wanted to throw that reminder out there. And this information is public and it's part of the process and the system we have here in America. Gotta be able to reach our representatives. So there you go.

Kick it up a notch. I know it, you know, might be less comfortable because you actually have to interact potentially with the human being, likely an answering machine. It's a lot easier to leave a Facebook comment on local news, but, it's not productive in the end. So, yeah, give it a shot. Have you ever called a local representative?

There's a first for everything. Give it a go. It's the Victor Will show. Hello, and welcome to it. Thanks for your company.

Alright. Let's see here. On Reddit, someone asked what's something you wish people would stop acting like is normal? Well, what does the hive mind of the Internet have to say? And, what do I think about their responses?

Let's find out. Not taking sick leave and bullying people who do. Oh, sounds like peaches to me. Victor would, oh, gotta take a day off. Not feeling good.

I'll take any day off I can get. Yeah. And I'm all for the mental health day as well. I know Peach is not a big fan of that one. Take a mental health day every once in a while.

There is nothing better than 5AM. I don't feel like going to work. I feel like playing grand theft auto five for about ten hours straight. Mental health day. Hey, boss man.

I'm not feeling good. Don't think I'm gonna be in today. They don't need to know your personal business. They don't know need to know why you're feeling, you know, unwell. I'm just feeling unwell with my head.

Alright. If you're really worried about it, tell them you have a fever. That always works pretty good. Nobody want to be around somebody who's packing a fever. So, yeah, I've got a cough and a fever.

Alright. Stay away. I mean, I'm not encouraging you to lie to your boss, but you gotta take care of yourself. And every once in a while, that means a day off. Yeah.

Use your sick leave. Alright? You earned it. Let's see. Oh, I actually talked about this one earlier when I fired up my own phone.

Scrolling through your Insta feed with the sound on in shared or public spaces. Yeah. You know, put a put some headphones on. K? Mine was unintentional when my phone started making noise while on air.

Luckily, it was my own content from the radio, so I know I wasn't swearing. But, yeah. Like, turn your phone down. K? I mean, I will talk on speaker phone on my phone all all the time.

It's very regular. But not when there are other people around. K? People who do that, that one in public. I'm like, what if the person on the other end of the line says something completely unhinged, you know, put your phone up to your head or get some, some headphones, Bluetooth headphones, super cheap.

Nowadays, They might not be great quality, but they're perfectly acceptable for a phone call, you know, if you don't wanna spend a bunch of dough. Alright. Let's see. What else do we have for things people wish would stop or that people wish people would stop acting or jeez. Radio hosts who can't talk.

Why is that normal? Who are these, amateurs like that Victor Wilt guy? Okay. Expecting everyone to be contactable 247. I miss the days.

I've talked about it plenty. How I miss the days when you'd leave your house and you were just off the grid. It was awesome. It was so great. But for example, it it might have been a week or two ago.

I think I was going to the grocery store. Yeah. And I got my truck. I was pulling out of my driveway and realized I didn't have my phone. And for a minute, it was exciting.

I was like, oh, I'm gonna leave without my phone. Woah. But then I was like well what if I got in an accident? You know what if somebody runs into me? I'm gonna wish I had my phone.

So I I drove back up into the driveway went in and got my phone. I couldn't even bring myself to leave my house for one trip to the grocery store without my phone. So I think if we don't want to be reached 247, we have to make it the norm that you you leave your phone at home or something like that. But paranoia is high. Yeah.

You might encounter a crazy person in the grocery store. I don't know. There's a lot of reasons you could need your phone. So, yeah. Being loud or inconsiderate of others.

Are they talking about on social media? I I don't generally see loud people out in public too often, you know, unless it's just somebody who's naturally loud and they got a loud voice. Being inconsiderate of others, that's certainly the norm on social media. I don't know how we're gonna change that anytime soon with this divided country, but whatever. What else do we got?

Hustle culture that glorifies burnout. Yeah, man. I never rest. All I do is work. Oh, I'm doing my best to try to encourage you to, relax.

That's why I talk about going home, watching TV, and playing video games. I'm trying to normalize that. There's nothing wrong with it. You know? It's it's good for you to kick back and relax.

It's become a bit of a, a shame publicly. Oh, you just went and sat around watching TV. You hear peaches shaming me all the time for it. I think he's just jealous that I'm able to enjoy myself watching, you know, garbage on YouTube. Nothing wrong with relaxing as much as you can.

You're only on this planet once. Now now I probably push it a little too far. Have I accomplished anything creatively at home in the last probably a year? No. But it's tough because I I work for eight hours a day in a creative position.

So the last thing I wanna do when I get home is let's make more content. No. I'm like, alright. Time to stare at other people's content who are making money. I'm gonna get back to it.

I swear. Alright. Here. Mental health is less important than physical health. Yeah.

Unfortunately, in this day and age, there are people who look at, taking care of your mental health as some kind of a weakness and, I gotta tell you I think a lot of our world's problems could really be improved if some people got in and talked to somebody. You know? It's not unmanly to go in and get help for your mental issues. K? Make you a stronger person.

Make you a stronger dude. Alright. Let's see here. And then this this article is getting kind of boring. I don't think that cheating has been normalized.

Somebody responded with cheating. Yeah I I don't think that scene is normal you know it happens a lot unfortunately it's you know messed up it's one of the worst things you could do to somebody is cheat on them very emotionally damaging but I don't think there are people out there like, that. It's just how it is. The Internet's weird with their responses sometimes. So I see your complaints time to time about tracks we play.

That's right. I pay attention. No song is for everybody. But song some songs are worse than others for sure. It's it's funny because when I see people complain about songs we play, I'm like, you you realize I don't like every song we play.

Right? I'd go as far as saying I don't like a lot of songs we play of of pretty large percentage of the library, but that's why I'm a good programmer. I know it's not about me. Alright? It's about the audience as a whole, and I try to throw stuff out there for everybody.

Well, I was looking through a post here about songs that immediately make people mad. And I was like, alright. How many of these annoy me? I mean, there aren't very many songs that the minute I hear them, I'm like, oh, just stop it already. Enough.

I actually heard one of them yesterday. Song I'm not a big fan of, and I don't know why. It's just a song that annoys me. I think it's called what's going on. It's that song that's like, hey.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about. Think we play that on, classy 97.

I just don't like that song. I hear it. I'm like, enough. Well, apparently a lot of people hate the song Happy by Pharrell Williams. Pharrell Williams.

I I don't know why I butchered that name. My bad. Sorry. That song's not too bad. I mean, it's got a happy vibe.

It might have been overplayed a bit when it was new, but I don't think I'd go crazy here in happy by Pharrell Williams. It's not the worst. What else do we have? The stupid oh, no, no song? I don't know what that is.

Here we got somebody calling. Maybe they got a song that, makes them mad. I guess as a responsible host, I should have said, hey. The number to call (208) 535-1015 if you wanna talk about songs that make you mad. K Bear, you're live on the show.

Keep that in mind. Who's this? This is JD. Good morning. Hey, JD.

Love your show. Thank you. How are you, man? I'm doing pretty good. Haven't talked to you for a bit.

So what do you got for a song that immediately makes you mad? Well, I was just gonna agree. What's up drives me nuts. And I have to play that song live occasionally. You know, maybe Maybe the reason it annoys me is because I heard your band play it so many times.

Oh, I know. Right? Yeah. Thanks a lot, JD. You ruined it.

Yeah. When we had when we had that little girl singer, you know, that's one of those songs that we have to sing. Now We have to play. You don't have to, though, JD. You don't have to play it.

You could say, no. I'm the front I'm the band leader. I put my foot down. We're not playing it anymore. Well, I would do that, but, you know, there's the thing that, I'm also in a cover band, so you gotta kinda play to the venue.

Yeah. Does the venue Yeah. You know? Do people, like, come out and slow dance during that song or something? Everybody kinda likes things along.

Oh. Oh, yeah. They do. They do. Because the word the words are easy.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I can remember those lyrics.

I step step out in the morning, and they take a deep breath or whatever and all that stuff. And it's like, oh my gosh. Really? Alright. Well, you know, I don't like that song.

Alright. I'm I'm glad I'm not the only one. And it it's not like it's the worst song ever. It's just I I don't know. It annoys me a little bit for some reason.

It's it's better than playing sweet Caroline. You're right. I don't like that one either. Oh my gosh. Doug, Doug, Doug.

Yeah. Everybody. Oh my lord. Oh, the bar the bar sing along songs. Oh, yeah.

I avoid them. That's why I play mostly ACDC songs because it just makes people angry. I I people love loves a little bit of live ACDC, man. You know, liven these things up. But but, yeah, it does.

That's why I like it. People gets gets them off, and we like energy. We don't like people to sit around and go, duh, duh, duh. No. No.

You wanna you wanna get people up having a fun time. That's right. That's yeah. You know, that's why I don't play any country music either because I don't you know? How many beers?

How many trailer houses and bears and trucks can you lose in a day? You know? Dude, it'd be hilarious to see you up there singing country songs. I think you should. Oh my.

Oh. And the Thunder rolls. The Thunder rolls. I've been thinking I've been I've been I've been just thinking about doing Kid Rock. Which which is worse, Kid Rock or country music?

I don't know. Right. Doing a Kid Rock rap song, you know, because that would be different for me. How about If you're gonna do, some rap rock, I I wanna see JD singing rage against the machine. That's what I wanna see.

I don't know if I can hit the highs and zacks. Yeah. I could probably hit most of them, but I I just wanna see you aggressive, you know, bringing the aggressive rap to the stage. It'd be awesome. Oh, you think?

I I I do think it would be awesome. Get on that. Killing in the name. You wanna talk about a bar sing along? Forget it.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know? Blank you, I won't do what you tell me.

The whole bar just screaming that. It'd be amazing. You think you think I could get them to do that? I think you could. I guarantee the bar would sing along to that one.

Well, you really you're really trying to push my buttons, aren't you? I just like hearing people, yell profanity in public. So That's that's because you can't say it all day on the radio. I know. You know, I I did a karaoke song on Jade's birthday recently, and I did lamb of God redneck.

And I I didn't think about the fact that the unedited version of that song uses a certain word over and over and over again, and it was very satisfying to, do that on a, PA system in public. So There you go. As as loud as possible and clear with a little reverb. Yeah. I know.

It it was very satisfying. So, you know, it it'll make you feel good on the inside to do killing your own. Well, funny. Hey. By the way, I just, on a on a quick note, I just ended up with six, six l six tubes that we can try in your app to see if the the power out.

Oh, see if it, for some reason, is relating to the tubes. Okay. Yeah. Anyway Well, thank you. Probably, you're on the air, so we should probably, say bye.

Okay. To be later. Sounds good, man. You have a good day, Jamie. Peace.

Ciao, buddy. Bye. Alright. To the other people who were calling with songs that, annoy them or make them mad. Sorry.

Was chatting with JD. You can call back. I, you know, could have conference called you, but that gets to being real chaos on the airwaves with multiple people on the phones at once. Good morning, Peaches. Good morning.

I, gave you a shout out this morning first thing on the show. Oh, appreciate it. You know, for your new podcast. Said you did a a fine job with it. It sounded very professional.

Oh, cool. So good job. And then I also threw under the bus, for tinkering with this thing. Are you tinkering at all? This thing this, shock mount Uh-huh.

Every day I come in, it's all, like, falling apart and then, like, it's just broken. I don't I don't tinker with stuff. It gets worse every day. How irritated I get with people who touch my things. I know.

That's why I was like, what's going on? That's why I tell you, I don't touch things. I don't touch other people's stuff. Well, you're the only one who's touched it. I moved that mic around because I have to put it higher than what it is right now because What are you moving around like?

Yeah. Totally. Just flinging it. Yeah. I hate this microphone.

Why? Well, I tied it back together because, I mean, the mic looked like it was gonna fall out of the thing when I got here today. Oh, no. I was like, what what is Peaches doing? Fiddling.

I was gonna buy you a fidget spinner. No. I hate fiddling. I'm like, he he needs something in his hands. Little Russell used to annoy the crap out of me with that when he ruined my, cloud thing.

I know. And then Melissa both, you know, touching it. It's like, don't touch my stuff. That's why I was, like, very confused with, the fiddling that had to be going on with this. Remember when you guys, like, unplugged my wallflower?

Yes. That was a Yeah. Well, don't bring a stinky air freshener. It was not stinky. It smells better than what the studio smells like now.

It smelled bad. It was like a fall it was a fall great scent. What are you talking about? It was nasty. It was grody.

Yeah. Didn't like it, but I'm not a big fan of most, air fresheners, especially the the plug in kind. They're just too strong. You know? A candle can be okay, but the plug ins, man, I I can't have them in my house.

I've tried every brand because you're like, oh, maybe Febreze will be okay. No Febreze smells. Nasty. So, anyway, throughout the show, I've been talking about songs that annoy people. And, I figured this would be a great calling topic because listeners like to complain.

Sure. So, if you'd like to call us with a song that annoys you, we'd love to hear about it. (208) 535-1015. I talked with JD about that song. I think it's called What's Going On.

And it's like, hey. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like Are are those women?

It's labeled four non blondes female, and I could have sworn they were dudes. I don't know. It sounds like women, but, I mean, you can say Greta Van Fleet also sounds like a woman too. But Yeah. Let's see here.

Four non blondes. I mean, there are some women in the band. There might be a I've we've got a Louis Metoyer on guitar. Now I I I believe that, the members are, you know, for the most part female. Okay.

Because yeah. I was And they have brown hair. I I I remember the song the first time I heard it was a part of that He Man video, you know, the classic. Yeah. Yeah.

That's where I thought it was from initially. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. And even that video annoys me.

I I don't know what it is. But, some of the songs that the Internet was saying were annoying to them were, like, Pharrell Williams happy. That one doesn't bother me. It doesn't bother me too bad either. Gwen Stefani Akansan.

Gwen Stefani Akansan. What is it called the sweet escape or the great escape? You should pull that one up. Yeah. Yeah.

Let me pull it up in the system here. No. It's bad. The great escape. Must be a different name.

I think it's the Sweet Escape. Well, let's scroll down under the I know we have it because I've heard it on Classy before. Yeah. Yeah. I just can't remember the name of the song here.

There's a lot of songs that start with the word the. It might be it might just be sweet escape. The the sweet escape. Okay. Let's, turn this music bed off here, and we'll jump into where it looks like it really gets going.

Her voice sucks too. You don't like her voice? No. I don't care if I went to the same college as her. No.

No. Thank you. Okay. I mean, that song She song. She can she does that in the song too.

Yeah. It doesn't annoy me too bad. Now do you know what the oh, no, no, no song that everyone puts on video clips is? What is it? The the TikTok song.

That's what's fame. Oh, no. Oh, no. No. It's just made for that.

Yeah. I I don't know if I've, heard that or if I had. Maybe it was bad enough that I blocked it out of my mind, but that's apparently very unpopular. What else do we have here? And listeners who were calling about this earlier, feel free to jump on the air live with us.

I know. (208) 535-1015. I'm sorry. My bad. I know a lot of people really hate that Benson Boone song because it's everywhere.

It's beautiful things. Yeah. The whole thing. Yeah. I mean, it it's definitely played a lot, but It's on every video.

After, you know, years and years of programming z one zero three, that one was kind of refreshing when it was new because, I mean, there's so much garbage music on, top 40 radio. Like that song dance monkey. That song is terrible. Damn. Alright.

That's a song that annoys me here. You wanna you wanna hear him? Sure. Alright. I cannot stand this song, and it was a big hit.

We still play it on, z one zero three. I think we play it on classy too. You you'll know it. I'm sure when we get it going here. I don't mind it.

Take your hand. I don't like this song. I think it's a a vocal thing. Like, you don't like, Gwen Stefani's vocals? I don't like those vocals in in particular.

What's that? We owe Buddy Holly from Weezer. Terrible song. Buddy Holly from Weezer. Hate that band.

Hate that song. I'm I'm okay with Weezer. I I suppose. I mean, some of their, you know, popular songs I'm not too into, but I don't I don't mind Buddy Holly too much. What was it?

Was that the Weezer song? Not the Weezer. The hero song they put out not that long ago. Was it two years ago? I vaguely remember.

I like that one. Alright. Alright. Let's see what this caller's got. K Bear, you are live on the show.

Keep that in mind. Who's this? This is Josie. Josie, what do you got for a song that annoys you? Zombie.

Zombie by the cranberries or bad wolves. Yeah. And the remake, because it's been on the radio way, way, way too much. I will say that the bad, wolves version is definitely to me more annoying than the cranberries version. But, and, you know what?

I think because of the bad wolves cover, I am more annoyed by that song than I was prior to that cover. Right. For sure. I get I get annoyed by the cover of, sound of Silence. Disturbed?

Yep. And and then, let's see. The Offspring had a song that was covered by Five Finger Death Punch, I believe. Yes. Gone Away.

Yeah. Yeah. You know, the originals are way better. I I agree with you on all counts. I think the originals are better.

Out of those three, I think disturbed probably did the best of the bunch just because they put, you know, their unique grandiose spin on it, and it was kind of unexpected for disturbed. But, I I know that Jade hates that song. He hates it. Alright. Right.

I I I really appreciate the classics. So, I mean, not nothing against all the bands. I understand they do what they gotta do, but, you know Oh, yeah. Totally, man. Well, I appreciate, the call today, and I'll try to not play any annoying songs.

Well, I I can't promise that. No. I understand. You you guys have a great day. Thank you.

Hey. You as well. You too, man. See you. You bet.

And, everybody else who was calling, you know, I can only do one at a time. Would love to hear from you. I had a guy call earlier who said, Babymetal. You know, that's a band, just period, that drives him crazy. He said, if I wanna hear 12 year old sing, I'll go to my wife's daycare.

It's one it's one of those where it's like, anything by when you when you're asking for what's one song that annoys you. Which, you know, I I'd say if an the overall tone of an artist is annoying to you, that that's fair for that situation. You know? Because it's some artists are just annoying in general. Alright.

Let's go to the phones here. K Bear, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this? Hi, this is Courtney.

Courtney. What you got for a song that annoys you? Okay. I don't know if you've mentioned it yet. Cause I'm just tuning in.

Oh my gosh. I'm gonna get bad juju, but Beyonce, the Saint Texas. Beyonce, it ain't Texas. Yes. Okay.

Wait, what's the name of that song? Texas? Texas. Hold them. Yeah.

Texas. Hold them. Texas. Hold them. Yes.

And it won like the best country album and Beyonce is not country. Okay. Now I I I've gotta ask if you're a country music fan, you are familiar with, Dan and Shay. Right? Yes.

Now would you not say that Beyonce's Texas Hold'em is more of a country song than most Dan and Shay songs? I might get that juju. I I gotta say like. Dan and Shay But I do not like Beyonce. Dan and Shay and, Old Dominion.

Old Dominion, another act that, they've got a lot of songs that I'm like, Beyonce's Texas Hold'em sounds more country to me than that, but that's, you know, just my opinion. No. Yeah. You can have your opinion. Well, thank you, Courtney.

I hope you have a great day today. You too. Thank you. See you. Yeah.

I think we've pointed this out before, on air, but let's hear a little bit of Texas Hold'em real fast here. Sounds pretty country to me. I like, what's that Dan and Shay song that was played on the Hawk when I was the afternoon DJ on there? Yeah. Let's pull up, Dan and Shay.

Or even, like, Kane Brown one Mississippi. That's not even country at all either, but that that was actually one of my favorites because it wasn't country. Alright. Dan and Shay, hold on. There's there's one in particular that was a number one on country radio that I wanted to pull up here.

Here we go. This was a number one song on country radio, and we'll go to where it really kicks in. I should probably turn off my phone. I should quit while I'm ahead. Not even close.

Yeah. I should probably leave you alone. That was number one on country radio. Nobody blinked. Nobody questioned that whatsoever.

Because it's two guys from Nashville. But if Beyonce puts out a song that actually sounds country, everyone loses their mind. Because she was known as a pop star beforehand. Yeah. Which, you know And she's a problematic figure.

I know that country artists, you know, they tend to do the opposite. They'll start as country and then they go pop and nobody blinks either. So, K Bear, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this?

It's Thomas. Thomas, what you got for a song that annoys you? Oh, man. That song from Poppy where it's it's, god. I can't remember.

It's violence against nature or something like that. I same reason you guys can't handle the the can't stand those other songs. It's those vocals. I just I can't stand it. You know, Poppy, it seems like you either love her or hate her.

You know? And, and I can get it. There were a lot of artists that I it took me a really long time for vocals to grow on me. Poppy was one. Even Ghost took me a long time to get into Ghost, Sleep Token, you know, stuff that's very different.

Sometimes it it it just takes a little bit of listening to, more than once. See, I was hooked onto those bands right away, especially Ghost. That was, the I was like, oh, I like this. It reminds me of the eighties. Yeah.

When Ghost Yeah. I I love Ghost. I love I love Ghost. I love Bad Wolves, but for some reason, that one song from Poppy is just no go for me and my wife. We just we can't handle it.

We hate it. Gives us headaches. Well, and I'll admit we beat that one to death. I will admit it. Yeah.

That is for sure. Well, you know, it was very popular in general. So, you know, there, there are songs that I personally can't stand that I still pummel the listeners with, because I just know we gotta, but yeah. Sorry about that, man. Oh, no.

You're good. I mean, I love listening to you guys, but like Poppy is the only one I just I gotta turn the radio off sometimes. You know? Well, you as as we point out, you always know this the next song's gonna be something completely different. So Oh, absolutely.

So just tune back in and start talking for, like, two minutes. As soon as the song's over, K Bear's right back on for me. Thank you. That's the way to that's the way to get it done, man. Appreciate that.

Yeah. Alright, dear. You guys have a good one, man. You too. You too, man.

Peace. If you've got a song that you hate that makes you crazy every time you hear it, feel free to give me a call at (208) 535-1015. I think it's just a fun topic, and I know people like to complain. So this is a fun complaint. What?

You've never wanted to call a radio station and complain about programming? Giving you the opportunity right now. So I'm trying to think of what other songs really annoy me when I hear them. And, boy, I can certainly identify them right when they pop up. Oh, they here, I'll get controversial.

A lot of songs from Prince. Yeah. The artist Prince. You'd think with, you know, half of my bloodline being based in Minneapolis, I'd be a, superfan, but I don't know. Prince just not my thing.

K Bear, you're live on the show. Who's this? My name is Steve. Steve, what you got for a song that makes you crazy, that annoys you? I don't know the name of the band, but it's called Emergency Contact.

Oh, Pierce the Veil emergency contact. I really cannot stand the emo genre of rock. Well, and I hate That song's about as emo as it gets. I know that our, front desk person, Jill, hates that song. She hates it too.

Like, anything like divide the use, sleeping with silence, all that. Like Oh, hey. Lang language, sir. Language. Sorry.

Apologize. It's okay. I I hit the dumb button, I think, in time. But, Okay. Cool.

Sorry about that. I'm with you on a lot of emo music. You know, Pierce Savelle and Sleeping with Sirens have grown on me a bit because I've seen them live. Maybe that's what it would take for the used because I'm not a big fan of the used, but I haven't seen them live. So Yeah.

I don't know. I like doing you guys stuff with, like, I guess it's called the new metals genre, like corn, mud vein, slipknot, soulfly. Well, we still play that stuff. We just you know, we gotta we gotta have something for everybody, man. Good people.

Yeah. I get it. So well, I'll throw you on some good new metal here in a few. Sound good? Yeah.

That'd be awesome. Alright. Thanks, Steve. You have a good one, man. Hey.

You too. Appreciate your time. Peace. K Bear, you are live on the show. Who's this?

It's your daughter, Taryn. Woah. Taryn coming at me live from, Phoenix, Arizona. Wow. I know.

Pretty crazy. Look at you up early and everything. What a responsible young, adult you are. I know. I'm going to the dentist.

Going to the big girl. Alright. You know, taking care of business. Very nice. Alright.

I'm a happy dad this morning. Good job. Well, the song I hate is Bohemian Rhapsody by queen. Oh, hot take Bohemian Rhapsody by queen. I know you.

Well, see, I, I think I didn't show you the movie Wayne's world enough when you were a kid. Maybe that's the problem. You showed it stuff. You showed it too much. And now I hate the song.

All right. My bad. You know, parents. I probably remember lines from that movie. You played it so much.

Well, it's one of my favorites. Alright. Well, I'll I'll do my best to avoid throwing on queen Bohemian Rhapsody on the morning show today. Alright. Alright, Tara.

Love you too. You have a good day. Bye. Bye. Look at that.

What a good kid tuning in to my show all the way from sunny Phoenix, Arizona. Very nice. Kay bear, you are live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this?

This is Adam. Adam, what you got for a song that annoys you? Stone sour through glass. It's insanely repetitive. I've that one is a bit cringy.

Looking at you through the class. I I could understand that song being annoying. There were someone's songs for bringing me to horizon too, but I can't remember what it was. They've they've got a few songs that are kind of annoying to me. I I could agree with you there.

Most bands have some songs that annoy me. I mean, I might even be able to find a tool song that annoys me. I'd have to do some digging, but it's possible. Believe you. You don't believe me?

Well, Adam, appreciate the call today. I'll try to avoid through glass by stone sour. I would appreciate it. Have a good day. Thanks, Adam.

Peace. K Bear, you are live on the show. Who's this? This is Josie again. Josie?

Oh, more. You got more songs that annoy you. What do you got? Well, you know, Metallica's cover whiskey in the jar. Bob Steger sang that a lot better.

But but I had to call you back because you made the reference to Prince, and you're from Minnesota. No. I hold on. I'm not from Minnesota. Just a lot of my family is I'm born and raised Idaho, so I gotta throw throw that out there.

Alright. Well, I I'm originally from Iowa, and I enjoy Prince, but we were talking cover songs. And you know what? Foo Fighters' darling Nikki was amazing. And if I could request you to play that, that would top my day.

Alright. I think we have that in the system. Let me do some digging and see what I could do, man. I appreciate that. Alright.

Appreciate you listening, and hope you have a great day. You too. Thank you. Yep. See you.

Alright. Let's keep going. K Bear, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this?

This is Josh. Josh, what song do you hate? What song annoys you? I can't stand Greta Van Fleet. So any song from Greta Van Fleet.

But in particular, heat above. I hate that song. See. And for me, it's kinda funny. I I find that to be one of their better songs.

I didn't really like them when they first came out because they were just pretty much a straight Led Zeppelin rip off. Yeah. But when they kinda branched out, got a little more proggy, and seemed to become a little bit more of a a rush rip off, I kinda started liking them more. Yeah. I I just never been a fan of them.

Yeah. As fact, when heat when heat above comes on the air, I turn it off immediately. Well, just always remember to tune back in in about three minutes. Okay. Alrighty.

Because every song will be very different. Thanks, man. Yes. Peace. Have a good day, Victor.

You too. Please. K, bear. You were live on the show. Who's this?

This is Ryan king. Ryan king. Good to hear from you, man. What's up, bud? Not much.

What do you got? You you don't seem like a guy that would have a lot of songs that annoy you. You're pretty chill. So Yeah. There is the one song that, please stay song.

Please. I want you. I need you. Oh, God. Wait.

Oh. Hey. Oh my gosh. They play that for every single thing now. Peaches was talking about that song earlier, Benson Boone, Beautiful Things.

Yes. Yes. I can't I can't stand it anymore. And and and if we could please, like, stop. I mean, that's, that's kind of a rock song.

Ryan, do you think, we should, you know, start playing it on, on K Bear here? He gets kinda wild in that song. You don't you don't wanna lose any more fans, do you? I I'm doing my best to, you know, lose fans as of late, so probably not. Probably not.

No. But I I would appreciate you. No. No. Oh, man.

Well, thanks, Victor. I appreciate you making my morning good. Hey. Appreciate you tuning in, Ryan. Good to hear from you, man.

I hope you've been well. Hey. You too, man. Right on. See you.

Alright. Looking at the clock, we better take a break here, but I don't know. We might continue with this. Otherwise, there's been a story sitting in a tab on my web browser for almost two hours that I've been debating, talking about just because it's gonna be very difficult to figure out how to work around it. But, you you know, it might make you feel a little bit better about Idaho politicians.

They're not the only ones that, seem to be completely unhinged out there. Ohio, man. Holy cow. I thought it was an onion article, but it's real. Anyway, well, now somebody's calling.

I guess we'll let them quickly get their annoying song out of the way. K Bear, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this? No.

This is Bennett. Bennett, what do you got for a song that annoys you? Tell anything but anything but Nirvana. Nirvana. Alright.

That's a a fairly I cannot stand Nirvana. Wow. And and there's one other. Well, it's more than one song, but anything country that's played on a rock and roll station. Oh, man.

You're you're gonna love it when I just bust out some, Jason Aldean here in a few minutes. Oh, I know it. I know it. Well, thank you, Bennett. I hope you have a great day today, man, and, appreciate the call.

Hey, you too, Victor. Right in peace. K. Bear. Who's this?

This is Scott. Scott, what you got for a song that annoys you? Oh, there's probably a crap load of them in my play playlist of annoy just about everybody, but happy happy joy joy. From Ren and Stimpy? Yeah.

I haven't heard that in probably thirty years. Now we're gonna have to pull it up, Scott. Look what you've done. Oh, that's funny. I totally forgot.

What about the log song? Do you like that one? Yeah. Great. Alright.

Alright. Well, I'll see if I can pull up, happy happy joy joy for you. You know, there's a lot. I have a lot in my playlist that would probably annoy the heck out of a lot of people. Oh, I guarantee that I have stuff in my personal playlist that would annoy pretty much all K Bear listeners.

So Right. Maybe we'll dig into some of my, you know, guilty pleasures. Right. Alright, Scott. Good to hear from you, man.

Hope you have a great day. You do the same. Talk to you later. Peace. Peaches, you ready for some, happy happy joy joy?

Sure. I don't think I've heard this one. This is a song about a quail. No. This is a song about being happy.

That's right. It's the happy, happy, joy, joy song. Happy, happy, joy, joy. Happy, happy, joy, joy. Happy It just keeps going.

I don't think you're happy enough. That's right. Trial, Peaches. I'll teach you to be happy. I'll teach your grandmother to suck eggs.

Woah. Now, boys and girls, let's try it again. Okay. That song is annoying. What's that one that people oh, the song that never ends?

Oh, that's pretty bad. That's pretty bad. I I I that but that's before my time. Yeah. I wanna say that was from, like, what, lamb chop?

That sound right? I think so. Oh, no. Speaking of before my time, Jay Davis. He's old.

Get him out of here. Well, if anybody wants to call with other songs that annoy him, we're having a good time with this. It was good to see Jade quickly come in and leave as fast as possible. That that helped brighten my day as well, brought me a little happy happy joy joy peaches. So that that run and Stimpy show, man, it's kinda wild, some of the content that was on that program.

I'm trying to think of other annoying songs my family has talked about before. I know my mom hates the Rolling Stones emotional rescue. Okay. She is, you know, not a hateful person in any way, shape, or form. But for some reason, that one song, she'll immediately yell at me.

Immediately. Yeah. I don't know if she's had she's had some repressed memories with that song or what. I have never found the origin story. My dad is the same way.

You know that Buster Poindexter guy, the, because she's hot, hot, hot, that song. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He hates that one too. Alright.

I've I've been trying to think of other songs that personally annoy me, but, I'm just striking out. So let's go to the phones here. K Bear, you are live on the show. Please keep that in mind. Who's this?

Hey, Victor. It's Damien. Damien, what you got for a song that annoys you? Well, I think it's just a band as a whole, five finger death punch. Alright.

I know that that's another band that it seems like people either love them or hate them. What's the most annoying five finger song that comes to mind? I think it's just some of their recent, recent songs. I can't name them all, but, I I it's been a while. So I'm right there with a little bit off because I've heard that way too many times sitting here in the studio.

A little bit off today. Yeah. A little bit off today. And that that that concert in Salt Lake City, he was singing that part and the whole power you know, all the power shut off. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Because somebody, like, ran into something. A drunk driver hit a pole. Yeah. Ended the show.

Yeah. But I I I don't have a problem with the first album, like, that was released back in 02/2008. It was good. Yeah. It was pretty good.

And then after a while, they just became, like, the Nickelback of metal. You know? And I hate to make five finger death punch fans mad, but I, I would say that calling them the Nickelback of metal is sort of a fair assessment. They did, kickstart a million other bands that, tend to sound just like them, and that's what Nickelback and Creed did. So, you know, I can I can get that frustration?

Yeah. Hey, Victor. I got a question. Oh, sure. I hope I have an answer.

Yeah. How are you liking a Far Cry five so far? I've been enjoying it. I haven't played a ton of it. Lately, I don't know.

I've I've been doing when it comes to gaming, just a little bit of Red Dead here and there because, you know, it'll be like the end of the night, kind of tired. And, I'll I'll fire up Far Cry, and I'm like, oh, I don't have the energy for this. You wanna talk about annoying. Those villains in that game are quite annoying. The sisters, the the most, I would think.

And then there's the other one, the brother that just goes cold to herd, like, repeatedly over and over and over again. I mean, even though the one guy I crashed in the helicopter with, he he was annoying. So, I I am digging it, though. I'm liking the game. I just need to sit down, buckle down, and, really get into it.

I, I beat the, I wouldn't say I beat, but I completed the first island, you know, the kind of first little, oh, yeah. Learning how to play the game situation. And now I'm exploring elsewhere. That's how I discovered there was like peaches veterinary clinic or something. There's also cheeseburger the bear.

I can't wait for you to meet cheeseburger. Great bear. And then I found out, yesterday that there was a there's a cougar at that is named Peaches. That's what I thought there was. Yeah.

Oh, cougars and Peaches. You're gonna Peaches the cougar. Yeah. You you can tell you you can tell Ubisoft is definitely making a joke with that one. I was gonna say Peaches the cougar.

That sounds like something, you know, a character from Drag Race. So some old lady that sounds like this. It's like one of Marge's sisters. Yeah. Well, appreciate the the call, Damien.

Hope you have a great day, man. No problem, Victor. You too. You guys, both of you. Right on peace.

I shouldn't look at Facebook, and not because of politics. I just happened to get, for some reason, a notification for Facebook Marketplace. So I'm like, oh, what am I being notified about? And I I have no idea what they were notifying me about, but I see that, Leon at the spider's web apparently is still trying to sell his ESP LTD h three one thousand f r. It's a black sunburst awesome guitar.

I don't need to see those things. Because if I had a big pile of cash, I'd be hitting Leon up. I've been looking at that guitar for a long time. It's awesome. Oh, you you wanna hear radio?

Okay. Well, we're talking about songs that annoy people. Let's go ahead and go to the phones. K Bear, what's up? Not much.

How are you? Doing pretty good. Who's this? This is Pierman. Pierman, what do you got for a song that annoys you?

Well, I know you guys gotta play stuff like this, but the need your attention song Need your attention. That. Why is it not clicking with me? I don't know. You gotta play it about three times a day or so.

Three times a day, so it's pretty pretty popular. Oh my goodness. Yeah. I'm I'm gonna have to figure out what it is, because the line is barely ringing a bell, and I should know, but I just can't think of it. Maybe somebody else will know what what you're, talking about.

So Yeah. It's it's like the main line in that song. Okay. Well, my apologies for being dumb and not being able to remember the songs we play. But Hey.

No worries. I was gonna say two people complaining about country like songs. You know? I actually really like the Billy Murray song, but there was one you were going through what might they be talking about, and there's one other song that's a little bit more country that actually has, like, yeehaw before the kind of metal breakdown. And I thought that one was way more country than the Bill Murray song, but I enjoy both.

And, quick question, what's going on with, Liquid Beast? I thought that was, like, a middle of the night thing every night or or what's that schedule? Oh, jank show. The land of brittle beef and liquid cheese. Saturday nights, 10PM till 2AM.

I mean, maybe we could start Saturdays. Yeah. I mean, it would be kind of fun to maybe do a, like, a midnight hour every night or something. I might have to think about that. No.

I really enjoy it and the kind of stuff you play on there. Just the kind of stuff you guys are getting to in general. Eve six and Lit and Rob Zombie and, like, the good Green Day album. It's all taken me back. I mean, first five to 10 albums that I ever owned right there.

So Nice. Really enjoy your guys' stuff. We'll appreciate that. We definitely do our best to play a wide variety. So glad you're digging it, man, and I hope you have an awesome week.

Yep. You too. Right on. Good to hear from you. You too.

Thanks. See you. K Bear, you are live on the show. Please keep that in mind. Who's this?

This is Corey. Corey, what you got for a song that annoys you? Did you figure out what song he was trying to no, you know? No. It it's it's It's a Beartooth song.

Beartooth. Oh, that is called attention. And, as far as Beartooth goes, not one of my favorites personally, but yeah. They've changed quite a bit over the years. I, I do like it.

Yeah. I mean, it, it's good to see that Caleb is, happy and doing well. And so the songs are a little bit less aggressive and more positive, but, it, you know, I'm, I'm excited to see what they do next, for sure. Yep. Agreed.

Well, good to hear from me, Corey. I hope you've been well, man. Likewise, man. Appreciate it. Right on peace.

And today ended up being a a pretty fun show. Really. I didn't intend to just take endless calls about songs that annoy you, but I like talking with the k Bear rock army. And knows good chatting with everybody today. So will we continue chatting with you during the noon hour of madness and mayhem?

I mean, we'll be chatting. We'll be talking, but I I don't know what we've got in store. So why don't you just stick around and find out at noon when me and Peaches come back to the show? But thank you again for hanging out today. I got plenty of good music coming up between now and noon.

So stick around, listen to the jams, and you have yourself a wonderful day. Alright? We'll be back in a bit. Appreciate you. And I hope that the workday flies by for you.

Peace. 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 riverbendmediagroup.com.
