#0315 - Influencer Tells Men to Break Their Own Faces - 02/24/2026

Speaker 1: Hello people, hi. Tuesday, only Tuesday. What? Well, the weekend went by so quickly. Hopefully this week is on the same track. I'm ready for the weekend on a Tuesday. Yeah, how about you? Well, good morning. Welcome to the program.

It's the Viktor Wilt Shell. Just getting rolling here. Making myself up a little bit of, I don't know what you call it here.

A beverage, a mixed drink. No, I'm just kidding. I've got some water. I'm just getting rolling. Trying to wake up. I pounded down some coffee.

I don't know. I thought I slept okay. I don't think I went to bed that late. I'm almost tired. Oh yeah, because look at what time it is. It's a ridiculous time of day to be awake.

Okay, I know. You poor people who listen to this show at the same time every day. All right, I know I'm going to tune in and he's going to complain about being tired. Sorry, I can't help it. I can't help it. But I appreciate you tuning in as always.

Hopefully we've got some fun stuff to talk about today. Yeah, I only just started digging into the news. My Facebook feed was looking weird already. I'm like, okay, what are these people ranting about this morning? What are these people being crazy about this morning? Who knows?

Maybe I'll figure it out or they're just being crazy. I'm like, did some big news go down overnight? Maybe.

I haven't had a chance to dig deep enough, so we'll find out. Well, you know, I like myself some kitties, right? Let's take a look at what's going on in the city my daughter lives in, Bellingham, Washington, where a little kitty been making itself a home in a neighborhood. My goodness. What you have to catch on your reincam? Holy crap.

Speaker 2: Inside this bush, this is its entrance right here.

Speaker 3: Allie Moffat says a cougar is very much making himself a home in her Bellingham neighborhood.

Speaker 2: It kind of had a routine for a while. We were noticing 430.

Speaker 1: Oh, that's a big kitty. My goodness.

Speaker 2: Yeah, it would wander up here through my neighbor's driveway.

Speaker 3: It prowls night and day, a fully grown cougar making Bellingham's Geneva neighborhood its hunting grounds for the past three months.

Speaker 4: I've never seen a cougar until it was in my front yard a couple weeks ago. Neighbors here say the cougar. Can you imagine?

Speaker 1: Just look outside and there's a giant cat in your yard like a big cat. Now when I lived on Mountain Drive in Pocatello, or I should say right after I moved to Idaho Falls from Pocatello, I used to live on Mountain Drive. And I think like a month later, they found a mountain lion in a tree in my neighbor's yard just hanging out. And I used to let my little kids just play outside. You know, just let the cats run free. Mountain lion in the tree. Yeah, they're around. You don't tend to see them, but they're out there.

Speaker 3: The cougar has killed at least two deer and devoured them both in this front yard. It appears increasingly comfortable in the community, a serious concern in this place that's home to a lot of little kids and surrounded by three schools. Parents can't let their kids play outside alone anymore. Oh, they'd be fine.

Speaker 1: He's just a big kitty. Hey, look at him give him some scratches. He looks like a good boy.

Speaker 3: Big cat got dangerously close to Dan and Kelsey Carter's kids.

Speaker 1: That guy's throwing rocks at it.

Speaker 5: I ran out with a pitchfork in one hand and started throwing gravel with the other hand.

Speaker 6: Their ball or toy rolls under a bush.

Speaker 1: These people live in a nice spot. They got the water in the background and everything, they're right on the bay. Man, you know, that's what you gotta put up with, you know? You want to live in an area like this, you might have a big kitty, you know? Is your neighborhood mascot.

Speaker 6: And because this animal is so comfortable, it's right there and I don't like that outcome.

Speaker 2: The worst case scenario for us is that it ends up killing one of our kids.

Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. Official wildlife officers say generally cougars will leave people alone, but they have increased patrols in this area.

Speaker 1: Now, you'd think that they'd just trap it, right? They said it's been hanging out in this neighborhood for three months. I was like, it's just a big kitty.

Speaker 3: It's fine. However, neighbors here fear that may not be enough. I want them to do their job.

Speaker 4: Nathan Stewart fears for his three kids. It's gone beyond normal. I would love for them to trap and relocate it, put it where it should be so that it doesn't harm anyone.

Speaker 3: Official wildlife officials tell us they typically don't relocate cougars because that may not prevent future interactions with people. Adding it could put stress on the animal and increase the risk of death.

Speaker 1: Oh, you know these people living in this neighborhood have got to hate to hear that. We don't care about the cat.

Speaker 3: What about our children? There are about 2400 wild cougars roaming Washington right now. DFW says over the past century, there have only been two fatal encounters with people and just 20 injuries.

Speaker 1: I wonder when the last one was. I mean, two people killed by cougars in 100 years. That's not too bad. I'd say your odds are pretty good. I mean, 20 injuries. Getting injured by a mountain lion would suck, but still. We've seen it on the ring camera.

Speaker 3: But these parents worry their kids might become the next.

Speaker 1: I'm sure I'd be worried too.

Speaker 2: Like how long can we live like this for?

Speaker 3: In Bellingham, Eric Wilkinson, King 5 News. Just go up to him.

Speaker 1: Come here, big boy. Come here. You want some treats? Yeah, you just got to learn how to deal with these animals. Every cat, you just go treats. Come on, you want some treats and they'll be just fine. Wow. All right. That's a big boy too.

That's a big boy. All right. Well, hopefully you're not having to put up with any of that kind of crap. I mean, maybe if you're living up in the hills of Pogatello, just be on the lookout. You know, they're out there. They're out there. It's so weird.

Giant cats just roaming the woods. Let's crush this day. All right. We're going to crush this day, get it done with and then have a wonderful afternoon and evening.

That's what's going on today. All right. I was chatting with JD about big kiddies. JD is a kiddie guy. He might not talk about it much, but I think are we same level of crazy cat guy? I can't remember if he has four or five. We got four and man, they can be a total pain. Is four cats equal to one mountain lion?

I don't know. Anyway, another thing I was seeing as I scrolled social media was that the Northeast is getting just pummeled with snow. Oh, it made me so happy. When I left for work today, it's kind of warm outside. Didn't seem bad out there at all. Then I see these pictures of New York City and it looks like just nightmare land.

Yeah, I guess they've gotten like two feet of snow in the last like day or something in many areas across the Northeast. That's right. It's your guys's turn. You have it this year.

Right. I know we need to get some moisture for our farms and such, but let's keep it up in the mountains. Let it be rain.

Forecast still looking good. Let's take a look. I mean, we were looking at whether in the fifties coming up when I checked yesterday, but you never know whether man changes his mind day to day.

Oh, yeah. Should be up into the fifties by the weekend. I mean, they're talking next week like high fifties.

It might be throw on the shorts weather. Fantastic. Don't forget, speaking of fantastic, we got a fantastic prize up for grabs.

A Nintendo Switch 2 bundle with Brent Gordon Law make the switch. Got that stupid time change coming up in a couple of weeks. Trying to make it better for one of you.

Now, hook you up with some video games to play to take your mind off the fact that the government can't get it together and put an end to this useless, stupid thing that we have to do every six months. So we're giving away a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle. Sign up in any of our apps, the K-Bear app, the Alt app, the Cannonball app, or listen for the Mario Sounder. And when you hear it played, we call it number 20 to get an extra entry into the drawing. That easy. We're going to draw a winner a week from Friday.

Okay, so you should try to win. It's a Nintendo Switch 2. Who wouldn't want one of those? They're fun. Nine inch nails. You can catch them live in Salt Lake City here in a few weeks. Definitely going to the show. Definitely going to the show.

Jade was talking with me about tickets, I think, just yesterday. Still a little steep for my liking. But hopefully they will come down in price a little bit closer to the show, because, yeah, I want to go. I'm going to go. We are going.

All right. It's nine inch nails for goodness sake. Oh, so many good shows coming up. I don't know what to do. Not enough time and money. Oh, well, shouldn't complain. Shouldn't complain about having so many awesome options. But you know me, I like to complain a little bit. A little bit of a complain.

You know, I come in here like I'm tired. I just want to be at home watching movies with my lady. I was scrolling through a list here of scariest movies people have ever seen. I know it's a topic we've discussed before, but I'm always looking for something new.

Most of these I've seen because, you know, I've looked at these lists before. Sinister for whatever reason, considered the scariest movie of all time. I mean, it's got some, you know, creepy parts, but I don't know when I watched it. I was like, why is this the scariest movie of all time? I someone brought up the classic exorcist. Haven't seen that in many years, but it is a classic. Maybe you have to go back and watch that one again.

The grudge, another one that scares the crap out of people. But you should watch the Japanese version, the original. Yeah, definitely creepier.

Some of that Japanese horror is so crazy. Like I was watching a YouTube video the other day. Oh, what was the name of the movie it was about? But it was a movie that was so disturbing to people that I believe Charlie Sheen called the FBI to investigate whether or not it was a real movie masquerading, you know, a real film masquerading as a movie. You know, thinking somebody's, you know, been murdered for real.

Oh, what was that called? I don't know. I'm sorry. I've never seen the movie. Oh, it's just right there on the tip of my tongue. Oh, well, Event Horizon, another great movie. I need to check that one out again.

It's been a long time. Saw martyrs when it came out. I seem to remember it being pretty good. The ring. Yeah, that's, you know, a classical one that scared people. See the shining. I don't think the shining is scary.

I don't know. It's a great movie, but I don't know what when I think of movies that really scare me. They're just kind of real like a requiem for a dream, very unsettling for, you know, for me to watch.

I've talked about the book, The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum. I don't think I ever even watched the movie. I like I don't want it. That's the kind of stuff that scares me. Real people doing horrible things.

Yeah, real horror. Oh, okay. Anyway, I'm, I'm digging here, people. I'm digging. We'll see what I can find. Slow news day.

Wish me luck. It's always interesting when you see a question posted online and you're like, all right, is this person just trying to get interaction or are they really questioning this situation? Somebody was, I think in the advice subreddit, asking, you know, if it'd be considered violent if their partner punches the walls and wardrobes and stuff every time they get mad. Yeah, punching things is violent.

All right. She says, well, you know, I made him mad. And he just lost it in the moment, but he's done this a few times once he put a hole through the door. Once he kicked flowers from the hospital after I gave birth, he also punched and broke a wardrobe. But I was the one who angered him and got him to this point. Um, dump him. Geez.

Tell Kyle to get. All right. Yeah. Dude needs to speak to a therapist. Get a little bit of self-control going on.

You know, somebody who just punches and breaks stuff and I'm throwing a tantrum needs to settle down. Yeah. Yeah. Dump him. All right. That's a situation that's not going to change.

Somebody who behaves in that manner like a turd. All right. Anyway.

Yeah, you just wonder that was in the no stupid questions subreddit. Okay. Not advice. I mean, all right.

The point of that subreddit is like, don't judge the question. There's no stupid questions here, but there's a puncher to break it all the stuff around my house. That violent. I'm going to go with yes. What are the other stupid questions are in the no stupid questions subreddit?

All right. Why do men fantasize about going off grid and living in the woods? Because they play too much red dead and they watch those stupid shows on TV where the guys are out surviving in the woods.

Trust me, it would suck. You need to watch Survivorman. I think the host's name is Les Stroud.

If I remember right. This is a guy who goes out and he survives in the woods by himself all alone. You know, he doesn't have a camera crew or anything. And he talks about the loneliness and misery. You start to feel really fast being out in the woods alone.

I don't know. You know, I think everybody has a fantasy, but I got just got to get away from it all. I'm going to run off to the woods, but nobody's going to actually do it. You know, give it a shot. See how many days you last just out there in the woods.

I'd probably last one sleeping in my truck and I'm like, oh, I got to get back to my house. It's nice and comfortable there. It's really nice. What else we got in the no stupid question subreddit?

And you know, trying to avoid the political questions here. Does a butterfly remember its life as a caterpillar? What's the answer?

I don't know. Studies have shown the butterflies do remember at least some of the stimuli they received as caterpillars. Yes. Butterflies are weird, aren't they?

Start off as a caterpillar, wrap themselves up in a cocoon, come out as something else. Strange. Strange. Okay. This person said, my boyfriend flushes the toilet twice after he pees.

Is this normal or weird? I don't know. I mean, it's a waste of water, but like, I don't know. I think if you, you know, number two, you should flush it twice. Don't they call that a courtesy flush? Make sure everything's gone. You know, it's stink up the bathroom.

All right. This is getting gross. Holy crap, 740. My goodness. What's up, everybody? Welcome to the program.

It's the Victor Wiltshow. I'm trying to dig up some freak news and, uh, it's not going so good. So I started just watching random YouTube videos. Well, I guess these are Facebook and Instagram reels.

Too many different types of videos out there in the stay in age, I guess. Any hoos? I should be able to find some freak news for the program. All right. I always managed to pull it off, right? For the most part, I guess. All right. What is a food you thought was healthy and now realizes not? Okay.

Maybe this would be good to take a look at. Um, orange juice. Now, I thought that orange juice is decent for you. They're saying it's just a glass full of sugar. What? I think I've got some orange juice here.

Sounds kind of good. Margarine. We were fooled back in the 70s. Now, I don't know if anybody thinks margarine is healthy. Did they tell you people that back in the 70s?

I don't know. Red wine. Just drink booze.

It's good for you. Um, I bet that was pushed by the alcohol industry. Red wine. Just have yourself a couple of glasses a day. You'll live forever. Um, yeah. Booze can mess you up really bad people.

I should be common sense. Let's see. This person said my mom put us on a diet of having chicken or fish every day for like three months and it was all fried. We're eating fish. It's good for you.

Yeah. It's covered in, you know, crackers and butter deep fried. Oh, it's so good for you. Yogurt.

Yeah. A lot of those are packed with sugar. Granola. Granola has a very healthy image and it's delicious. But that's a, that's a lot of sugar. That's a lot of sugar.

All right. Juice in general smoothies. Smoothies. You can make a healthy smoothie. All right.

If you put an ice cream and strawberries, that's a milkshake. Okay. Bagels. Yeah.

That's bread. Let's see here. Not healthy, but I was sick recently. So I was drinking Gatorade zero. I have high blood pressure.

Oh yeah. Gatorade loaded with salt. You're not supposed to be drinking salt. Gatorade pushing my blood pressure up.

Holy crap. I drink Gatorade and stuff like that a lot. Maybe I need to mellow out on the salt. Oh, vitamin water. Now vitamin water sounds like it should be good. I think they got sued for calling themselves vitamin water.

Didn't they? I don't know. Anywho's, I'm going to dig up some freak news. Okay.

I'll be right back. Ah, geez. I'll have to talk to Lieutenant crane about this one Friday during traffic school. Police drones.

Where do they have these? Geez. Well, anyway, some woman was getting followed by a police drone. I guess they're looking for distracted drivers. You know a good way to distract a driver flying around their car with a drone. But anyway, this woman photographed the drone and then they charged her with distracted driving for using her phone while driving.

Yeah, 615 bucks. So she could try to point out the operator's creepy behavior. Yeah, she said, you know, couldn't see anyone operating the drone nearby. She didn't know it was a police drone or anything like that. So her first thought was to take a picture and report it. She's like, what are you doing?

You know, this thing's just swarming around me here. Then they just pull her over like, haha. 615 dollar fine. Geez. Yeah. Can we go back to the old days of hiding behind the billboards? Come on, Lieutenant crane and friends.

Far as I know, we don't have police drones around here. Let's see what else for freak news. North Carolina mother who went missing 24 years ago while going Christmas shopping has been found alive and well. So this is Michelle Hundley Smith first reported missing December 31st, 2001. I guess she was doing some after the fact Christmas shopping. Anyway, I think she's 62 now. And apparently she pulled the old.

Well, I guess moms don't go. I'm gonna go get myself a pack of smokes. I'll be right back and then don't come back. Now it's I'm gonna go Christmas shopping. They should have known it was on New Year's Eve.

Like mom, Christmas is over. What are you talking about? Anyway, that's sad. That's sad. Just sad for the family, you know, she just bailed on him. Now at her request, her current whereabouts will remain undisclosed, but her family has been notified. Oh, you know, would love to hear that phone call.

Hey, thanks, mommy. Piece of crap. Now thanks for bailing.

Geez. Speaking of bailing, I'm watching a edited video. Okay, let me throw that out there and edited video of a naked man running from a crash in Hollywood. I, you know, they blurred him out, but he's naked.

He just goes booking it. It's pretty funny video. You got the fire department there. There's this car accident and all of a sudden you see this naked guy just come running by. They say he was driving one of the two vehicles involved in the in the crash, but. Okay, they did get him. Okay, I was wondering if he, you know, got away. It, it couldn't be too hard to find a naked man, you know, in Hollywood.

All right. Yeah, there's a lot of weirdos in Hollywood, but, you know, hard for a naked man to hide in broad daylight. So coming up on the show, we're going to talk about another stupid online trend that this is just ridiculous. Maybe we'll look at 10 Mountain Dews ranked.

I don't know. I think it's about time for a rewatch of Tenacious D in the pick of destiny. It's been a while. One of the greatest movies of all time.

If you've never seen it, what are you doing? Fire it up. So that's something you should do. Here's something you shouldn't do.

Hitch yourself in the face with a hammer. Yeah. There are a lot of really stupid influencers online and the dumbest ones are definitely dudes. This guy's one of these man fluencer dudes trying to, I guess, encourage young people to hit themselves in the face with a hammer so they look better and can pick up chicks. The guy says, yeah, if you break a bone, it grows back stronger, so I'm trying to grow my cheekbones.

So I'm going to smash my face with a hammer to, you know, bust my cheekbones and doctors are like, don't do that. Please talk to your children, okay, about who they watch online. Like, if you have a son, just take a look at what content creators they're getting influenced by because there are a lot of really terrible dudes encouraging young men to just do the dumbest things. Aside from this, you know, just not treating women properly and stuff like that.

Like, if you're a mom or a dad, you want your son to grow up to be a good dude. Okay, so you got to sit down and have conversations with him about idiots like this guy because I guess he's pretty popular online even though I'm not going to get into some of the other stuff about this guy, but he's a real dirtbag. Okay, he's not a good dude. And then he's, you know, encouraging people to smash themselves in the face with a hammer. Yeah, don't do that.

Okay. If you really want to change your face, I don't know, you can exercise for one thing, but plastic surgery, get yourself looking like a freak shell. All right, let a doctor do it. Don't take it into your own hands with, you know, tools out of your dad's toolbox.

Geez. Oh, some of the things I see online, I just go, what? What timeline are we living in? Things have gotten really dumb.

Alright, let's see what other dumb stuff I can find. I'll be back. The Beast is back!

What up peaches? That's right! How was the uh... V5 Ophem. V5 Ophem!

V5 Ophem! How was uh the show? Bad Omens, Beartooth and President. Phenomenal. Yeah, it looked pretty good. Bad Omens definitely up the production level a little bit. From the videos I saw posted online.

Speaker 7: I did see warnings outside the venue saying pyro, lasers and all these lights will be shown throughout the show so just in case you're epileptic.

Speaker 1: Ah, yeah, um I know there have been a few shows I've been to that I felt a little bit off just from being pummeled by the lights for the next few days.

Speaker 7: It was hard to breathe during the second song. I was like am I overwhelmed? Am I... what's going on here?

Speaker 1: Ah, dude the older I get the more that lights and stuff have started to get to me. It's kind of weird. I know that didn't happen at Sleep Token in Salt Lake but when I saw him in Boston I mean I had vertigo after the show and I didn't even have any beer or anything at the show.

Speaker 7: We got kind of tired of just standing in the pit near the back there so luckily enough a listener hit me up and said hey I have these four tickets that I'm just wanting to give away could you help with that and I was like well I know people that would easily take them. Yeah. So I gave a pair to Aubrey's brother and his wife and then also we saved the extra pair just in case we wanted to sit down so we went up and sat down and watched the rest of the bad omen set after that.

Speaker 1: Nice, nice. Well and you brought some studio gifts you said? You got some posters there?

Speaker 7: Aubrey's obsessed with scrapbooking and she saw this sticker book that was supposedly being sold at five below of course when we got there and asked the worker they knew nothing of it. Okay. So but I checked up the different posters and was shocked to see they had a Sleep Token poster as well as Bring Me the Horizon. Excellent.

Speaker 1: Well we'll have to do some moving around or figure something out. Well I guess we've got that whole wall we were going to put up some type of tapestry or something and then I just totally forgot about that.

Speaker 7: Yeah and it needs to have something there.

Speaker 1: It does. We can move that K-Bear sign and put some posters up or put them on the sides of it and actually put it on the wall. We'll figure it out. Well right on dude. Nice.

Speaker 7: All of my concert clips have gone viral online. Yeah. Yeah. And so that was quite funny how just random concert videos help us out so much.

Speaker 1: We had a good social media last week or so. You with Hardy and Idaho Falls. Me with Hardy and Idaho Falls was very popular on both the K-Bear and Hawk pages. It was funny because Justin's like man Hardy lost a lot of weight since the photos I saw him from a week ago and then Hardy popped up on my feed today.

I guess at a recent concert he like shot gunned a beer but people were saying the can was empty so he was faking it. But Hardy the real Hardy definitely got a little bit more beef. That's okay. Than the guy in my photo. It happens.

We understand. Yeah it's just a local guy named Debin and he you know I bump into him all the time and just thought it would be funny because he kind of looks like Hardy or Zach Bagan's like let's post a picture that I'm hanging out with Hardy.

Speaker 7: I was about to say I do agree with those people that said he looked a lot like Zach Bagan's of Ghost Adventures. He really needs to do that for Halloween. He should. Start walking around. Do we understand? I have questions.

Speaker 1: I wonder when we're going to get that Pocotello episode of Ghost Hunters. Probably like next year. Probably I would imagine production wise it takes a while to churn those out but I'm excited to check that out.

I don't even know what channel Ghost Hunters is on but hopefully you can get it on Hulu or something like that. So I don't know. Well good to have you back Peaches. You didn't miss anything yesterday. There was nobody here. I got a lot of work done.

Speaker 7: I love those days to be quite honest. When you're not here and I get to have the Caber studio by myself I get to just be in here doing my show way ahead of time.

Speaker 1: Yeah I got quite a bit done and you know had a good weekend as well. Went to the Ian Munzik Country Show and it was a lot of fun. His staff treated us really well. They had an actual radio room set up Peaches.

Oh nice. Which never happens with a meet and greet. So you know Justin and I, Becca and her daughter and a few of the other country guys in town. There was like eight of us and Ian Munzik hung out with us for like 45 minutes. They had like food and drinks and stuff and they treat radio right. His crew. I hate those people that don't. Which is sadly you know.

Speaker 7: Well they have the good exclusivity where it's like well they can't. They won't do radio interviews but then all of a sudden they pop up with some random podcast that has 20 listeners. Cause the guy knows a guy who knows a guy who knows his cousin. Yeah.

Speaker 1: Now they treated us real well. Real well. Crowd had a lot of fun. It was pretty good. Pretty good. Aside from Becca waking me up the next morning at 6 a.m. cause she had decided to tell everyone at work. I'll make chili for everyone at work Sunday. And you know it's got to cook all day so I was unaware of this and all of a sudden we're up and at them. We're headed to you know Walmart. We're shopping. I'm like I wanted to sleep in. You're a crazy woman.

Speaker 7: So what are you doing? You're too nice. It'd be like it's all your fault. Go take care of it.

Speaker 1: I know. I got out of bed and you know went and went. Oh I got the hiccups. Went and did my part. Went and did my part. You know it's what you gotta do. What you gotta do is man sometimes peaches get up and help your lady. So now I'm glad you guys had a good trip together.

Speaker 7: The pop-up shop didn't even attempt to go inside. Pulled up to it at like 2 p.m. Saw the line was wrapped around the entire blocks. It screwed that. Went to Trader Joe's. Went to a Mexican restaurant. Then proceeded after that to go to the Airbnb. Then the venue. Pull up to the venue, wait in another line.

And it was so easy to get our tickets. Luckily it wasn't like getting to this weird window that type of thing. The worst part about it was the fact that you had to, we had to go to like 6 different people to know where to go where we needed to go for GA on the floor. To get the wristbands, all of that.

Speaker 1: Well, when we went to Ghost, we were trying to find the little Ghost Museum VIP area. Nobody had any idea what we were talking about. We walked around and around. The Delta Center is big and we walked around and around. Finally found it when they were closing it. They're putting everything away. So I don't know if the staff around there has any idea what's going on.

Speaker 7: So once we finally got down to the floor, we were all winded because we went up and down four different flights of stairs. But even the merch, I heard from many listeners that they couldn't even watch President because they were in line for merch for over two hours.

Speaker 1: Yeah, what you got to do is you go to the merch line during the headliner. That's how I got back to merch at Ian Munzik because the line was crazy, the whole show. So about halfway through his set, I was like, all right, I'm going to go hit the merch line. Nobody there. I got everything they needed. Bam, bam, bam.

Speaker 7: I looked at the options. There's nothing here that's worth it. Like there's no poster, nothing.

Speaker 1: Where were they charging for shirts? Like 50. OK, so about what you'd expect.

Speaker 7: Typical $50 for shirt, $80 for hoodies. OK. What I expected, you know, some vinyl of theirs for 40 bucks, which I'm not going to buy because I don't have a record player. Yeah, yeah, totally.

Speaker 1: Well, looked like good time. And yeah, now hopefully we can just kick back and relax a little bit this week. Huh? You know, no shows happening this weekend, are there?

Speaker 7: No, the next big one that I want to go to is March 13th. Nothing more.

Speaker 1: I want to go to Nine Inch Nails the same night. So we might be in Salt Lake at the same time at different shows. I mean, I'm going to Nine Inch Nails no matter what, even if I got a fork over stupid money.

Speaker 7: I'm not paying anything for that. I'm not paying any money whatsoever. That's the thing. It's like it's either pit for free or nothing. Geez, peaches, you're spoiled. You're here. Well, I'm just going to be spoiled. I'm not driving three hours for me to pay tickets. No, thank you.

Speaker 1: I have for Nine Inch Nails. I would because they're top tier, top tier live show. All right, I guess it's probably time to take a little break here. Let me dump these songs out.

Speaker 7: Do you know where the thumbtacks are? I want to hang these up.

Speaker 1: Um, I have some thumbtacks in my office. So give me just a second and we'll get them and we'll be back, everybody. OK, somebody asked online people 40 plus what actually mattered in the long run and what didn't. All right, I'm 40 plus. I can answer this question.

Let's see what's mattered in the long run. Oh, you know how many likes I got on social media. Yeah. No, come on now.

Let's see what people are saying here. If you get off on the wrong train, get off at the next stop. The longer you stay on, the more expensive the return trip. Don't stay in a bad relationship. You can waste decades trying to change people or even yourself in order to make things work.

Yeah, I've talked about that plenty on this show. Don't stay in a bad relationship. It's not good for your kids. All right, if you got kids together, that keeps a lot of people together when they shouldn't be. Yeah, you don't want to end up talking to your kids as adults and they're like, yeah, that sucked.

All right, Jays. Better in the long run for both of you to. I mean, you're going to know after long enough how things are going to go.

All right. People don't change that much. And if things tend to be going in one direction, it's probably going to continue going in that direction till the end of time.

So you're only on this planet one time. Find someone you can be really happy with and put yourself first. All right. You got to put yourself first and find a nice, happy, healthy relationship where you care about each other. Okay, don't just stick it out.

There's a lot of stigma in certain groups when it comes to like divorce. Like, oh, you can't do it. You can do it.

No, you can do it. And it's better for everyone if things ain't good that you sometimes you just got to call it quits. All right. Well, you still got time to enjoy some of that life.

All right. Yeah, I think finding a positive relationship. That is something that matters in the long run. Okay, of course, they're going to throw in sleep. I'm working on that one. I've been going to bed a little bit earlier. And I'm doing a little bit better with it. It's hard. It's hard to get to bed at the time I should because it's just so early, but I'm trying.

All right. Keep friendships alive. I need to work better at that. I haven't, I got a lot of friends I haven't called in a while and like people will text me and then I'm like, oh, I'll get back to them in a while and then I don't. And I'm like, oh, crap.

They probably think I'm just a jerk. Yeah, learn to cook. That's a good idea. You got to eat. All right. Let's see here. Things that matter in the long run. See what else people are saying here.

What you think of yourself, not what others think of you. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. You know, you got to, uh, got to put your own well-being first.

If you want to be there for other people. Here we go. More people talking about sleep. Taking naps. It's hard to take a nap. Then you wake up in the days over, but I know it's good for you. I know it's staying.

I know it's a good thing. All right, this guy says I'm 64. The people in my life matter. The stuff I have doesn't really. I stuff is just stuff. Ultimately. You know, I mean, I've got some stuff that's important to me.

Yeah. Some of my books, guitars, you know, but ultimately it's just stuff. You know, my family and stuff. That's what, that's what's most important here.

Let's see. This person says the stuff that seemed to matter at 25, like not getting that perfect job or dating the wrong person turned out to be proper stepping stones to better things. Yeah. Absolutely. You learn a lot in your twenties.

All right. You learn a lot in your twenties and then you can get into your thirties and kind of reassess and go, all right. All of that crap didn't matter. It's why I point out to you like high school kids. Now they're probably in school already, but things that happen in high school, the minute high school's over, they don't mean anything anymore. It all disappears.

All of the clicks, the popularity, blah, blah, meaningless. The day that school gets over. And I always try to let your young people know that and they're not going to listen to you because they're teenagers, but yeah, the second that that final, you know, you walk off that stage of graduation, all of that just disappears.

And depending on, you know, your school situation, that could be really great. Like I hated junior high high school, not so, not so bad. I, you know, luckily went to Pocatello high school. Wasn't around so many snooty kids.

Like I was at Alameda junior high that ended up going to Highland. No offense. That's how it was. All right. This person says, show up.

Yeah. There are a lot of things I regret as far as events and things I missed out on during my twenties and thirties. I won't get into, you know, the reasons behind it, but there were a lot of things I didn't go to that I wish I would have or situations where I could have hung out with somebody that I passed up on for whatever reason.

And yeah, take advantage of that time, get to be with other people. All right. Um, I don't feel like talking right now. I'm going to push another button. Well, the other biggest turret around here is back.

Jay Davis in the house. You said awesome. Wrong. I'm pretty sure I said everything right. You already gave me your concert report, but you thought that bear tooth, bear tooth stole the shell. Oh yeah, for sure.

Speaker 5: I like a band that doesn't just sound good live. I like one that actually puts on a show and doesn't rely on their production value to do it for them. Okay. Yeah. So if you can get all three of those elements together, sound good, actually put on a show and have an awesome production, then it's like the creme de creme. Yeah, totally. When a band looks bored, then it just ruins it for me.

Speaker 1: Yeah. Like that one time we saw fall out boy.

Speaker 5: Oh, it was so good. It was kind of like that. It was kind of like that. Except, uh, I would say fall out boy put on more of a show than bad elements.

Then bad elements. Wow. Like they sounded good. Yeah.

Don't get me wrong. But, uh, only, I only think I saw the one guitarist. Like, I don't remember what his name is longer heard one actually had banged the rest of them didn't even move high and the singer. Let's look bored.

Speaker 1: Seeing like people will talk about bands like tool. Like they, you know, they just stand there and they don't maintenance doing the weird dances and Adam Jones and Danny Carrey's going crazy. Justin Chancellor is definitely into it. And then they have, yeah, the massive crazy production. So, or a band like nine inch nails.

Speaker 5: I'm going to go see them in three weeks. It's going to be awesome. I'm going.

Speaker 1: I haven't got my tickets yet. I'm still hoping they'll come down just a little bit more because I was, you know, looking at them floor tickets and was like,

Speaker 5: yeah, it's a little tough, but the first pair of tickets I bought in 25 years. Yeah. I got to see nine nails one more time.

Speaker 1: I did buy some tickets to tool a few years ago and boy see. Um, there, there've been a few, you know, there've been a few. I know Peach was in here. I was talking about nine inch nails and now I'm like, I'm going, I'm going to buy the tickets.

Speaker 8: I won't go to any show. You're too spoiled.

Speaker 5: Peach is like, bro. I guess I'm spoiled. I bought a ticket in 25 years.

Speaker 1: I know I'm spoiled. That's why it's, you know, why, to show up by some merch or something like that. If we, if we've gotten hooked up with tickets. Yeah. Um, and here's a tip for everybody because Peach was talking about the, uh, merch line during the bad omen show. People were missing the opening acts because you're standing in line for merch. Well, you can tell the end go, go during the headliners set.

Yeah. You know, at the, at the Ian Munzick show, there was a nonstop line for merch. The entire show, it was crazy. So halfway through the headliners set, I was like, okay, back up. I'm going to go get you some merch.

Speaker 5: It's got to be timed right in the middle of it because they usually open with some of their newer songs and then they'll save the end of their set for all of their biggest songs. Yep. So right in the middle is where you're going to have that dud low. Yeah.

Speaker 1: Yeah. When they're, you know, playing covers or doing something monkey and around.

Speaker 5: Talking to the crowd about something.

Speaker 1: Yeah. So I ran out, not a single person in line. Bam, bam, bam. Got the merch went back and I saw a lot of people because we stood in line for a little bit and then we got sick of it. And I was like, what are we doing? Let's, let's go somewhere else. Let's get a pretzel. Need a snack.

Speaker 5: And president put on a pretty good show too. Like the facade of that band just didn't match the performance though. Yeah. The band themselves, they were just wearing the little black masks and they didn't really move. They're like, when you watch a nation address or whatever and the cabinet members just stand in the background and, you know, or grumpy, that's kind of what that was going on.

Okay. Then the singer just wandered around like a sad little emo boy instead of like being a president. Instead of being a president. Like standing at the podium and being loud and look at me and brah, you know.

Speaker 1: Well, that's what kind of threw me off the first time I saw one of their videos was he was putting off a sadness. Yeah.

Speaker 5: You know, like you can still be sad, but get up there and like, yeah, it's a live show, you know, got to turn that sadness into like, get out there and do something.

Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah. Get out there and command that crowd. Yeah. So all right. Well, I, uh, there was no way I was going to do two shows, two days in a row. Learn my lesson after the last time doing a birthday party and then trying to go to a show. It just don't work out for me. Too, too old and lazy. That's right. For that kind of thing.

Speaker 5: Caleb, uh, show him a little singer for bear tooth. He did something fun. He did a little Freddie Mercury in the middle of it. You know, um, you've seen videos of Freddie doing this. Yeah. Whatever. So he did just like that. And it was awesome. The whole crowd was into it. Nice. Caleb can control the crowd. That was awesome.

Speaker 1: He's, he's a great front man. Like, uh, when I saw him in Vegas at, uh, the rock radio convention a few years ago, uh, yeah, I, I don't remember who they played with. This bear tooth was the only band that stood out. I have no idea who they played with.

Speaker 5: Kind of like when you watch kill switch engage with anyone. Oh, you see, remember his kill switch.

Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Like there's just no comparison. So the rock radio conventions happening this week. Looks like a dud. Looks like a dud. And I hit up a bunch of people to see if they were going and, um, I only talked to two people who were going full metal Jackie and Elwood, like Lou's not going.

Vinnie from my team, like nobody's going. So I was like, yeah. And it looks like it's very old centric. Like, I don't think we're missing out by not going. Yeah. Hopefully they'll do the one in the fall.

That one's way better, way better. So now you didn't miss out on much around here yesterday. There was nobody here. Everyone went to bad. Oh, that's apparently so I got a lot of work done yesterday. I'm all caught up.

Feels good. Yeah, I'll give you more work. No, no, I've got plenty to do. Never mind. I was lying.

I'm not caught up. All right. Well, it's time for you to get.

I don't want you in here. You get. Just like how this works.

It rolls downhill. No. No. Oh, we talked about the creepy Chinese robots the other day. They were dancing and stuff.

They were really weird. What about when they start fighting back? Huh? Like these food delivery robots. I was just reading about here. I guess they're very common in Los Angeles. They call them a cocoa food delivery robots.

They look kind of like a cooler on wheels. And I don't know. They have a mind of their own. It's one just tore into this lady's yard, ripping up her garden, got all tangled up in her fence, made a big mess, drove away with the fence attached to it. And I guess they've just been, you know, wreaking chaos everywhere that they go. One crashed into an ambulance. Another one knocked over a parked motorcycle and the people in these neighborhoods are like, you know, this is like an accident.

When it happened, what's going to happen? Yeah. What about when it runs over a small child or something like that? You know, we got to be careful with this AI stuff. People are all worried about the robots fighting back. Looks like they're already doing it. How do we know this isn't intentional that the cocoa delivery robots have not become sentient and they're fed up with people? Oh yeah.

Speaker 8: Take that. I hate your flowers. I don't like flowers. I don't like living things. Well, robot, take that.

Speaker 1: Yeah, we told they they can walk. We tell their like those Chinese dance and robots. They're just roaming the streets and that's our delivery service. It's going to get scary.

Go and get scary. So haven't seen those around here yet. I would imagine you have to have a better climate in general for food delivery robots to be a common thing.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like they'd work very good in the snow if they can't handle just sunny LA. And I'm glad today's show has gone by at a fairly decent pace. But, uh, hopefully the rest of the day does. What am I going to do to pass the time?

I know I have tasks. I'm just trying to think what were they brain dead today? An idiot.

So any. Hold on one sec here. Send in a quick message of multitasking.

OK, here. Oh, I was watching this video. This kid fall out of a building. Um, don't worry, he's he's all right. Seven year old boy plunges 80 feet from a like apartment complex video.

And there was a guy that happened to be cleaning windows. A number of stories beneath him blocks the kids fall. They both go crashing to the ground in the snow and everyone ended up OK. No, nice, happy story. Generally, kid falls from eight story window. That's not a good story, but they're all right. Don't let your kids play on the window sill. All right, if you live eight stories up, maybe, you know, keep those windows locked, maybe put some bars on them or something.

And if you have small children, I'm not going to judge the parents too much, but come on now, come on now. Oh, can you imagine one moment you're like, OK, he's over there playing next moment you turn around. Where'd he go? There's just an open window. He's all right, though. He's all right. Hope you know that you're all the best and I appreciate you hanging out with me every day. Hope Tuesday is treating you good.

Hope it brings you good news. A lot going on today. And I'm just kind of sitting around waiting on info. It's kind of maddening.

You ever had to just kind of sit and wait for something that you have no idea how long it's going to take, but you hope it goes good? Yeah, you can have fun. Some good ways to kill some time today. But hopefully, hopefully it ends up being a really good day today.

We'll see. Ah, did I have any other last minute stuff here? Talked about the kid who fell out of the window.

And I think I about covered it here. I mean, I was looking at a list of insults that don't involve cuss words, but I was reading through and I'm like, no, I'm not going to be able to remember these in the heat of the moment when I want to insult somebody. Like it's impossible to underestimate you. Nothing lights up a room like your absence. I'm jealous of people who haven't met you yet. You're the reason instructions have pictures. Well, I wish I didn't have common sense. You seem so happy.

I might have to bookmark this page just for Facebook conversations. You know, you're a constant source of disappointment and embarrassment. I think I've said things like that before. Ah, let's see here. Once you get your numbers and colors down, you'll be a real threat.

Yeah, who ties your shoes in the morning? These are pretty good and radio friendly. I'm going to have to remember these when Jade's in here. You unfrosted mini wheat. Mr. Rogers would be disappointed in you. OK, what I'm going to do is get on out of here. Peaches and I will be back together for the noon hour of madness and mayhem today.
