The Viktor Wilt Show

Looks like flexing is out. Not like bodybuilders style. Let me pull up my sleeve and show you my guns. But hey. Look at all my stuff.

Look at all this cool stuff I have. Yeah. Not very popular at this time with gen z. Yeah. Now they've, launched a trend called under consumption core, and you show off, like, your old cruddy car that you don't have to pay a monthly payment for.

Check me out. I'm at home brewing up a cup of coffee. Yeah. Look at this. Hey.

Check out my closet with hardly any clothes in it. Yeah. I'm fine with this. Just wanted to let you know if you had built a social media and a following on showing off your stuff. Check out my mansion.

Check out my sweet ride. Well, you might start seeing a little bit less action. Gotta start showing yourself donating that stuff to thrift stores or selling it off. Yeah. Getting rid of stuff.

Decluttering very popular. Now decluttering is actually a good idea. I've gotten rid of so much stuff in the last year so much stuff. It's amazing how much you can accumulate and you you start digging through drawers and closets and you're like what what is this? Why do I have this crap?

I don't know. Maybe I should go through some random closets in my house show myself bagging stuff up and getting rid of it. See if gen z, you know, launches my, you know, multi million follower social media. That'd be great. I need the money.

You got that many followers, you can make some dough. So, anyway, if you wanna make the the young ones happy, get rid of some stuff and show show what you do not have. Alright. What's more important? Money or comfort?

I was reading a post on Reddit here from a guy who managed to get a $200,000 job offer and turned it down because they weren't able to do the job remotely. Now this person has been working remotely for 3 years. They live in a rural area, low stress, great quality of life. It's nice and quiet. And I don't know what they make right now but they you know thought apparently they'd be able to do this new job remotely it was like no you gotta move to a big city and work in an office and they're like yeah I'm gonna stay out in the country and I guess their family and friends are like what's wrong with you you know you're being selfish and privileged you know how many people would kill for a $200,000 a year job and yeah I guess his family and friends are just all furious with him Alright.

I have gotta say that if I had the option of working a high stress job in a big city compared to doing what I do now, you know, for, you know, way more money, I I'd still think I would stay here because I have an enjoyable job. You know, comfort, I I think if you are, like, happy in life and comfortable with what you do, that's always gonna be better than a job you hate. Having a job you hate sucks. I've had many jobs I hate, and that is just about the worst. So I think I'm with this guy.

Now as for work working remotely, you know, during the pandemic, we did a little bit of that, and I didn't like it. But if I had all of the same gear that I have here in studio and I was able to just go live from home like, I wasn't able to go 100% live from home. It was, you know, a few minutes delayed. And so I I hated that, and it was not as simple as turn the mic on. Boom.

You're live on air. I had to go through a process to get things on air. It sucked. If I had all of the gear and could just fire it up like I do right here in studio every day, I think I would enjoy working from home better than being in the office simply because it it it's home. Home's comfy.

I I have the cats hanging out. You know, if I wanted a snack, just go get a snack. Wanted to sneak in a nap yeah sneak in a nap remote work sounds great but yeah I don't know this story could be made up you know it's it's on the internet but a lot of people are saying, you know, they're with this guy and his family and friends need to chill out. Don't let anybody else make your decisions for you on what you need to do. Alright?

You gotta think about what's best for you, especially when it comes to work. All right. Do what do what you can that's enjoyable. Because I I tell you what lack or at least minimization of stress and a job that you're you don't, like, have to just force yourself to go to every day. Like, oh, here we go again.

You'll have a much better life. Quick reminder. If you haven't got in on our contest to win tickets to wage war, you should probably do that, like, right now because we are going to be drawing winners later this morning for tickets to see the band live along with some other really good acts. You know, we hook it up with tickets to awesome shows, wage war era throne, fame on fire, shows going down at the complex in Salt Lake City on October 18th. Again, we're going to draw our winners later this morning.

So if you haven't entered in the k Bear and alt one zero one apps, you should do so right now because nothing beats a free show, and that's a great lineup. Wage war, era throne, fame on fire, a wide variety of sounds. One's gonna be great. So fire up the k bearer or all taps, get in to win. And if you don't win, buy tickets to the show.

It's gonna be awesome. It's at one of the best venues in salt lake, the complex, so I hope to see you there. It's gonna be a lot of fun. I do plan on being in salt lake city that weekend. That that's my hope.

Anyhow, there's some great shows going down that week. The prior day, you got Lauren ashore with white chapel. Gotta go to that one. Same venue. Same venue.

So, anyway, you might see me there and you might go for free, but you gotta sign up to win. Well, I haven't done this bit in a while, but seemed appropriate based on the story I'm reading on TMZ this morning. I've talked a lot over the years about how nasty the music business is. For artists, for people working at labels, for people working in radio and radio's a ruthless business. And yesterday it was a bloodbath at Atlantic Records.

I read that, like, a 170 people were fired yesterday. And when I saw that Atlantic was laying people off, one person in particular, I shot him a text message like, hey. You know, I see Atlantic's doing layoffs. You all good. Because Atlantic has done this before, and you always get a little bit nervous.

You know? But anytime you see major radio group laying people off, I'm shooting off text messages. Hey. You all good? And unfortunately, a good friend of mine, one of my best friends in the music industry, you know, has been very great to our station and a loyal supporter of what we do here, even though we're a smaller market, let go by Atlantic records yesterday.

So first, d bag of the day would be Atlantic records because this guy he'd been working for their, you know, labels 25 years and is just the best dude. Just the best. Had a hand in blowing up the careers of so many bands that you're familiar with. You know, bands like Slipknot, etcetera, you know, really big bands. So, yeah, I I felt terrible for him, and I'm sure he'll be back in the biz.

This guy, you know, everybody loves him. I'm sure that the the next thing will be even better. But what really made me mad about this this morning was I went to TMZ and he got Nicki Minaj firing shots at everybody who got fired. Okay. If we were talking about these label execs at the top making 1,000,000 of dollars okay.

What whatever. Maybe maybe some of them did you wrong, Nicki Minaj. But she specifically called out a and r people. Do you know all of these 170 people? I I just don't think you should ever celebrate somebody losing their job.

Okay. Maybe if they're a politician. Alright. I could certainly celebrate many politicians losing their jobs. There have been times when I saw somebody lose an election, and I'm like, yeah.

Alright. That's right. Good. Good riddance. But how tone deaf is that?

These are, like, normal people like you and me. A and r people aren't making 1,000,000 of dollars. K? These are the people who have to deal with radio programmers. Come on.

Please play this new song. Blah blah blah. They're dealing with all these out of touch people all around the country who, you know, have these weak playlists. And, again, this guy this guy and I probably know other people who lost their jobs. I just haven't talked to them yet.

Again, one of the best in the biz, one of the best in the biz. Got a family. Just normal person like you and me, and he got this, you know, multimillion dollar rich celebrity laughing about it saying, UPS is hiring. Completely tone deaf, and, I guarantee she she doesn't know all of these people who got fired. Alright?

Anyway, it it it's just frustrating. Try to not be a jerk. Why does everybody gotta be a jerk? You know, maybe she had a bad experience with 1 a and r person or something. But like I said, my homie who got let go, one of the best people in the biz and anybody who knows him would tell you that.

So, you know, Nicki Minaj, well, you shut up. And I've said plenty of good things about Nicki Minaj over the years. You know, she's put out controversial music and I was like, hey, you know, more power to her. Right? Whatever kind of crazy songs you want, but, you know, don't be a jerk.

Alright. Normal people losing their jobs. These these are not, you know, some kind of crazy elite top of the music business people, just normal, good people. So. Yeah.

Don't be a Nicki Minaj today. That's what this ultimately comes down to Be be a nice human being. Don't be a Nicki Minaj. No. Funny enough, I was just talking about, my homie at Atlantic Records.

And, you know, when we've lined up things like interviews with Gojira as a small market radio station, who do you think did that for us? That's right. Anyway, I may have just potentially caused a problem. I I rarely tweet at celebrities, but I did retweet Nicki Minaj's tone deaf, you know, celebration of a bunch of people being fired at Atlantic Records yesterday and asked her, you know, hey. Did you did you know every one of these people?

Kind of messed up to celebrate people losing their jobs, good people. We'll see if her or any of her followers respond. What? We got some radio station with, like, a 1000 Twitter followers critiquing Nicki Minaj, bleh. So I don't spend a lot of time on Twitter.

Yeah. I haven't really built up our following there. So, anyway, I'd I'd be happy to get a celebrity, trash in the radio station. I don't care. Bring it on.

Alright. What else is going on here today? I was taking a look at new music that came out today, and ice 9 kills dropped 2 new albums today. Now they're not what you're probably thinking. They're well, they call it 9 bit versions.

I don't know why. I would call these 8 bit versions of their songs, but they, yeah, put out welcome to horrorwood and the silver scream entirely in video game style music like this, which I like. I'm all down for the 8 bit music. So pretty cool. Sounds like Castlevania, pretty much.

That's what Ice 9 kills in 8 bit version sounds like, Castlevania. So if you're an Ice 9 kills fan, you can throw these on in the background while you, I don't know, do the dishes or whatever. Uh-oh. You get notifications on Twitter. Oh, maybe maybe that's just one of you listeners.

Got a new follower there, and they liked my post, so it's not a Nicki Minaj fan getting ready to yell at me. But, yeah, just how lousy. That makes me so mad. You know, being in the business I'm in, we've talked so much about people getting fired. And I've never seen anybody as a celebrity come out and that radio person lost their job.

And a lot of radio people maybe that is something that should be celebrated when they lose their jobs. But you'd never know when you got a mass firing what kind of good people are floating around in that mix. Anyway, whatever. Whatever. I am digging the ice nine kills 8 bit versions.

Might have to pull some of these as music beds that we can use. Yeah. Like I'm doing right now. Alright. Anyway, I'm gonna move on from Nicki Minaj annoying me, but I just oh, I felt so bad for for my homie and just to see some extremely wealthy artist.

I don't know. Too many breaks about it because I did 2 to move along. I'm gonna find something else to talk about. Alright? I gotta start digging for freak news too.

That's gonna be hitting before we know it. Anyway, I hope you're having a good day so far. I will be back in just a second. Now there are certain things you've gotta love about an election year. As election gets closer and closer, the scandals start coming out.

Now I'm not gonna get into the one that broke yesterday that's, all over the news. I wanted to talk about one I found at the New York Post about a political reporter. Star political reporter Olivia Nuzzi has been placed on leave from New York Magazine over, well, an alleged, naughty texting relationship with RFK Junior. Now I've never heard of Olivia Nuzzi or Nuzzi. Not sure how you say her name, but, k.

RFK Junior, he's about 70 years old, and I think she's about 30. Alright? This might give you guys out there some hope. If RFK can get into a nasty, texting exchange with a woman less or more, sorry, more than half his age. Did did I say that right?

Anyway, have you ever seen or heard RFK Junior? Like, speak. Alright? Again, he's he's old. He's old, and he's a weird dude.

K? There's plenty of weird stories. One of the ones I saw about him recently was he's being investigated for sawing, chainsawing the head off of a whale because he wanted to bring the head home and examine it. This guy's like he's really into roadkill and stuff. There's a lot of bizarre stories.

I'm not just, spewing things out here. Just Google RFK Junior roadkill. You'll bring up all kinds of stuff. But, I guess the more I thought about it, the story made a little bit of sense that it was a texting relationship because it you know, if you've ever heard RFK Junior talk, he's not the guy you're gonna be wanting to get voice memos from. Hello.

Hey. Looking real good. You ever heard him? Here here he is talking about, the time he dumped a dead bear in, Central Park. And that woman in the van in front of me hit a bear and killed it, a young bear.

So I pulled over, and I picked up the bear and put him in the back of my van because I was gonna skin the bear. And it was very good condition, and I was gonna and put the meat in my refrigerator, And you can do that in New York City. You can salvage roadkill here in Idaho as well. And I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. But instead, he decided, you know, I'm gonna do a I mainly wanted to point out his voice here.

But, he he decided to do a little bit of a prank and just go dump the dead bear in Central Park and make it look like somebody hit it with a bicycle. I don't know. Interesting concept. But can you imagine, ladies? Hello.

I've been thinking about you so much. You're on my mind. If this was not regular radio, I could have a lot of fun with this one. I need to work on my RFK impression. But, you know, it's it's really a good morning show impression to do because you got that morning voice going on pretty gravelly.

You look so beautiful in those photos you sent me. What's going on? I I guess anybody with a little bit of power and money. Yeah. Yeah.

You can manage to snag yourself a lady. Jeez. Anyway, everybody, you wanna hear some more music? I've got music that I'm gonna play for you on the radio station. It's new from setting off and, covering the Linkin Park song.

It's a point of authority. Welcome to the Victor Wilt Show. Wanna give a, shout out and congratulations to Pocatello. Congrats, Pokey, on your new logo and your new tagline. Yeah.

The one and only Pocatello ripping off my tagline. I mean, they could have taken it just one step further with Pocatello, the birthplace of the 1 and only Victor Welt. Wouldn't that be pretty cool? Alright. Alright.

I know. That's that's ridiculous. But, yeah. I'm looking at a picture here of the new Pocatello logo. I don't know how to describe it other than it says Pocatello.

It it looks good. Looks good. And I like the photo that they used to debut the new logo, people mountain biking up what I'm guessing is City Creek. Okay. So there you go.

That's what's up in Pocatello news. They've been working on this for, like, 5 years or something. It looks way better than that old Pocatello flag. Wasn't the Pocatello flag voted like the worst flag in America? Let's see.

Pocatello flag. This should bring up some some news here. You if you haven't seen the old Pocatello flag that says proud to be Pocatello, man, did it look bad. It was it was just terrible. The new one is much better for sure.

But, yeah, I can't find the article, but I do believe that at one point, Pocatello's flag was voted like the the worst in the country or something like that. So had to be fixed. And if I'm wrong, sorry, Pocatello. Hey. There there we go.

Pocatello city flag goes from worst in North America to the 11th best. Alright. Combine the new flag with the new logo. Pokey looking classy. That's what I like to see from my hometown.

Need to get down there and hang out one of these days too. It's been a while. And go kick it with, Dan Ditto. Enjoy the whole club auto. Probably be good for me to get out of my house every once in a while.

But last well, actually, I didn't leave my house when I got COVID. Maybe I should leave my house. Cats bringing me home sickness. And freak news is powered by Greasemonkey, voted Idaho's best oil change. Howdy.

Welcome to the show, the Victor World program. Have you ever had bad roommates? I might be able to make you feel a little bit better about them. I just stumbled across the subreddit bad roommates and made me feel better about mine. No.

I actually had pretty good roommates back in the day. You know? Good friends. No matter what, if you're living with somebody for a long period of time, you're gonna start getting on each other's nerves. But for for the most part, I think I got pretty lucky with my roommates.

I have nobody with a room like this. There's a post from 16 hours ago. Had to kick my roommate out after I saw this. This is one of the most disgusting looking bedrooms I've I've ever seen, and this person loves Twisted Tea. There's a a 1000000000 empty tall cans of Twisted Tea all over the room and then about, you know, 1 or 2 feet of garbage just piled up.

Now, if you've ever had a party at your house or been to a party, you wake up the next day and you got the wounded soldiers all over the place, all of the empty cans, it smells really bad. You know, it's it's a horrific smell. There's no way this was a weekend bender based on the 10,000,000,000 twisted tea cans and all the other garbage. How could you have not discovered this prior? Roommate always keeps the door locked.

Like, oh, it smells like something died in there. There's something, you know, wretched coming through the walls. What's happening in there? Disgusting. Disgusting.

So if you want to, make yourself feel better about roommates you've dealt with, go check that out. Alright. We've also got a lawsuit filed after 1,000 were infected at the Tough Mudder race in the San Francisco Bay Area. I don't know. It's a popular 5 k event and obstacle course.

Apparently, one of the parts of this thing is you go through, a mud pit, like, a waist deep muddy water. I'm looking at people trying to climb up on to I don't know if that's, you know, just piled up sand or what, but how many times I gotta tell people about going into, natural waters? Alright. These people ended up very, very sick, 100 of people, with disturbing symptoms such as boils, fevers, diarrhea, muscle aches, and uncontrollable vomiting. Now if that's your idea of a good time, maybe you wanna take part in the tough mudder race.

You got somebody calling. Maybe they maybe they did this race. K Bear, you are live on the show. Please keep that in mind. Who's this?

This is Brandon. Brandon, what's on your mind, dude? What's up? I was just listening to your freak news segment and, talking about nasty roommates. I work in the, housing industry as a maintenance technician in Rexburg.

Alright. And I just deal with I wanna quickly just say, if it's super disgusting, please be careful. I was just going to say, Victor, the amount of people that do not clean their rooms, the billions of cans of whatever their drink of choice is, and the mountains of garbage happen way more often than people think. Wow. Way more often than people think.

Yeah. Like And, I was not what I would call a clean roommate back in the day. I I mean Oh, yeah. I but nothing like that. I mean, you know, I've I've I've had many, empty beer cans sitting around, but it gives me anxiety.

So I've gotta get them out of you know, that's where part of the shame comes in. You wake up the next day, you feel all terrible and there's just garbage everywhere. And it's like, alright. I gotta make myself feel a little bit better by at least getting the garbage out, then I'll go sit on the couch and feel ashamed of myself. Yeah.

Ex exactly. Exactly. And, for, the school up here in Rexburg at at BYU Idaho, they, actually imposed some pretty strict, like cleaning, for the apartments for the the students to actually be able to live there. And, the amount of people that we've had to kick out because they won't. It's it's not about it's not about capability.

It's it's about they won't clean, is staggering. And then, having to deal with the conventional side, meaning the the people who aren't students, it's, you know, you can't legally impose cleaning on people until it becomes a problem. And the amount of people we've had to kick out for that because it's bringing in pests and all it is absolutely disgusting. I I I always warn people whenever we hire new maintenance guys, hey, sometimes this job is disgusting. You are going to end up without a sense of smell at some point.

So alright. If you had to estimate, what was the worst room as far as number of Mountain Dew cans you found over there in Rexburg in one one room? Oh, man. Okay. So, a couple of years ago, there was a gentleman who, this is at one of our non student properties.

He lived and worked at home. He didn't, I I don't think he'd rare, like, ever left the apartment. It was very rare. The I I went in to do a service call because he had had been having some electrical problems. And when I tell you that, getting double fisted in the nostrils with snow.

Oh. Well, as soon as I opened the door, and I had to I had to step out. I had to go get, some, like, ointment put under my nose to be able to go into this apartment. Mountain of garbage that was 5 feet tall. Oh, man.

The majority of the garbage was Mountain Dew of all flavors, pizza boxes and chip bags. That's all. Like, that's all the garbage. There was nothing else in this pile. Yeah.

And, you know, it was it was 4 or 5 feet tall, and it was absolutely rancid in there. Were you able to get this, this guy some help? I I think people start getting overwhelmed at some point. And, like, I know when when my house has been a bad mess, you start looking around and it can be hard to figure out where to begin. You know, I would assume there are resources in the community for, people to get help when they end up in these situations because I think it's just, you know, all of a sudden things get carried away and you you probably are depressed, don't know where to begin.

Yep. Yeah. I I hope that, Yeah. For for, for the students at least, they have there's resources on campus, that we we will invoke if there's ever anything that bad in the student properties. But for our non student properties, we actually, you know, we we we go and talk to them and we say, hey, look, you know, you're the problem is that it's bringing in pests.

Your neighbors are complaining about the smell or the number of ants or whatever bug it is, you know. And so we tell them, hey, you've got 72 hours clean up. And, after 72 hours, we will be back. We'll take a look. If you if you clean it to a certain point where you're we're not bringing in tests anymore, then you're good.

But if you don't do anything at all, then we're gonna have to give you a 72 hour pair, you know, vacate. You you're gonna have to kick you out because you're in violation of your lease. This particular gentleman, we gave him that ultimatum, and, it was on a Friday when we gave him that ultimatum. I came back in Monday morning, 8 AM. I could hear him in there cleaning.

I could hear the vacuum running, And I was like, oh, man. That is that's really good. I'm I'm glad that he's cleaning. We went in Tuesday morning, and oh, man. It was a 180 degree turn.

Nice. It was almost completely spotless in there. I was like, good for you, man. Like like fantastic. And I had to make the guy feel great because I know that, you know, when when I have cleaned up my house after it's been in a bad state, I mean, nothing makes you feel better than that.

Like, oh, it's it's like sanity has returned. You know? Yeah. Exactly. Yeah.

That's yeah. Exactly. So but, yeah, I just wanted I I had to I had to tell you that that happens way more often than you think, and it just sometimes it can be sad. Sometimes it can just be a why are you the way you are, kind of situation. But, you know, we always try and help as best we can.

And, you know, if anybody who who is listening to the show needs to know that they're not alone, You're not alone. But there are also resources that you can use to to, you know, get help or, cleaning services that will come in and help you clean up if that's if that's what you need. Absolutely, man. Because yeah, like I said, I think people just get overwhelmed and, the situation gets out of control and, you know, that that's why like, listeners like you calling in, you know, sometimes we end up in these discussions about things that are really affecting people and, encouraging people to get some help. Because I I really think that, a lot of those folks, if you know, you get the assistance in straightening things up or even just start chiseling away at it, you know, once you get things, you know, in order, it's it's gonna make a a big difference in your your day to day.

So Yep. Exactly. Well, appreciate that, man. And keep up the good work, you know, doing a tough job out there and you know that I know I I couldn't handle it. So, you know, really appreciate what you do.

Well, thank you. Thanks, man. Hope you have a good weekend. You as well, Victor. Right on.

Peace. Peace. Alright. We'll do some more freak news here in a few. And, yeah.

Don't get muddy water either. You know, speaking of, staying clean, you'll pick up, bacteria called what was it here? Aeromonas. And, that can cause septic septicemia? That right.

Anyway, you might die going in the mud. It's not worth it for the tough mudder race. Welcome, Peaches, to the radio program here. How's it going, buddy? Oh, it's Friday.

We got paid yesterday. I'm good. Nothing like payday. I can watch all my money go to bills and kids. Most of mine's going to the rent bill.

Yeah. You know what? I don't know what's up with being a parent. My daughter, you know, she's going to college in Washington. And she's now on her own.

Yeah. But you still have to help them. My parents rarely help me. Well, shame on you, Jeff. Shame on you.

He peaches out. For 24 years, I think he's fine. Yeah. That's true. My kids are younger than you.

Yeah. You know, hopefully, by the time they're your age, they're, you know, not needing any more money from me. I tell you, I was crying that day when he was in the hospital with the whole, like, bacterial infection thing. Yeah. He still gave me money, and I'm like, no, dad.

You need treatment right now. Stop it. That's a good dad. That's a good dad. You know?

When I was down with COVID, I was, you know, firing off some Venmo. It's what you gotta do for the for the little ones. The little ones. But, man, you know, school stuff's very expensive. You know?

Very expensive. That college stuff. I didn't go to college because I I didn't wanna get student loans and, I was cheap and I didn't wanna go to school. Well, that's why you go to the junior college first and then you transfer over to a a real university. But doesn't a junior college still cost a good chunk of change?

Not that much compared to going to university for 4 years. What would a semester of, tuition be? I I had a FAFSA, so I'm fine. Oh, good for you. Oh, good for you.

My parents knew how to battle the system. Well, yeah. I I don't know what, what I could've done more in this situation. She she did pretty good with, various, you know, grants and things like that, but there's still always more money, more money that needs to be spent. And then my cats eating me out of house and home.

You would not. Your choice. Yeah. You would not believe how much a kitten eats. She eats, like, twice as much as Koopa.

She's a little little pig. Oh, I'm I'm But you want kitter, don't you? I do. I do. And she looks at me like, what what's wrong with you?

You're crazy. Did you see the video I posted of my cats watching me play Little nightmares? Yeah. Yeah. I did.

They were very, very into that game. They were, disturbed by it. Koopa was very upset when my character kept getting run over by a log. He he was very scared, so I had to tell him it's okay. It's just a game.

It's just a game, Kitty. It's funny when cats watch TV. The first time I saw a cat watching TV, I was watching, the live action version of The Jungle Book with my kids. I don't know if you've seen that, Peaches. But you've got the the tiger, Shere Khan, big, you know, tiger.

But in the live action version, you know, the animals speak. So there's a talking tiger on the TV, and my cat, Dim, he was blown away by this. Keep wide eyed, couldn't stop watching. And then the minute the tiger stopped talking and was gone, he, you know, wanders off. But he was blown away by talking cat.

I think cats wish they could talk. I think they secretly know how to. He probably just thought, hey, this tiger's blowing our cover. You've seen those videos of those cats saying no and I don't know. Yeah.

Right. And like, all long tail here. We need to add that one in the video. We do need to have all long tail here in in the wild. My favorite is the diabetes cat.

I love that guy. I love that. I think dogs wish they could talk. Cat. I love that guy.

I love that. I think dogs wish they could talk too. You know? Because they'll talk to you. When I get home and I'm like, Lucy, she's all they got something they're trying to say.

Yeah. The orange cat, though, visits me all the time. Talks to me. Meows, like, every 10 seconds. Do you meow back at it?

Oh, yeah. Of course. Good job, Pete. You gotta meow back at the cat. Now if you bark back at a dog, it does not work out good.

It's not the same. Cats like it when you meow at them. Dogs think you're trying to fight them or something. Or play. Or play.

Some some of them think you're trying to play. Yeah. I would never bark at a dog because dogs most dogs don't like me for some reason. They see something something about my face. They see me in there or or else they love me and they wanna jump all over me.

There was a Which one or the other. A friend I was visiting that was like the family dog hates new people. Mhmm. But, the dog was all friendly to me. Actually laid on me by a good tail.

It it was like that's a big human bed right there. Looks very cozy. I think Koopa is a little bit afraid, but Lucy was just fine. Yeah. She's much friendlier than, Koopa.

I think because she was handled when she was real young. Mhmm. And, also when she was a kitten, she's you know, she's always been around, people. You know, when when I first got her to my house, I had a few friends from Boise over, and, she was just hanging out with all of us. I I real it probably comes down to how she was handled when she was young.

Like, Koopa was born in my window well at my house. I found a litter of kittens. Oh. And we had to take the we were trying to take care of them, but it's a very difficult process to take care of kittens. Yeah.

So we found a cat rescue. Shout out to the loving hearts cat rescue. If you're looking for a cat, you should go there and get a cat. They're at Petco, every weekend or PetSmart. PetSmart.

That's the one by Ross. We don't have a Petco in the area. I don't I think we do. We do? I think it's over by, by Hobby Lobby.

I think it's over there. Oh, you're right. Yeah. Yeah. But no.

Pet smart's where, loving hearts cat rescue is. You should get yourself a cat from Phyllis over there. But, anyway, so this litter of kittens was born in my window well. We had to take them to, to Phyllis at loving hearts because she had a mom cat, and you can just, like, plug little kittens into mom cats kinda like batteries. If the mom cat is, you know, producing milk, she'll just take bring them all.

Bring me all the kittens. So I don't think Koopa was handled as much as a small kitten because we didn't get him till he was, you know, 6 or 8 weeks or however old, and, he's a little sketchy. Plus, he was the the baby cat, and I had crazy, Dim, and Mia, and that's what he had to deal with. 2 Crazy dim and Mia. Yeah.

2 crazy old fogey cats that were both just unhinged by that part. So crazy dim is the name of one cat. Well, his name he was just dim, but he was kinda crazy. You wanna talk about a cat that wouldn't shut up. In his older years, he would just sit in front of me and stare at me and just, and he he just wanted to talk to me and he I he would just stare at me for hours.

It was his favorite hobby. I wonder what cats were thinking when they do that. Oh, I he was old at that point. So he was probably I don't know. When you see somebody who's completely lost their mind that's, like, in their nineties, it's probably like that.

Who knows what's rattling around up in there? But he he was a good boy. RIP to Dim, big dog. Man, you never know what you can find in the garbage. Why don't I have this kind of luck?

I guess I don't dig through trash very much, but it's never too late to start dumpster diving. Right? Dumpster diving might be illegal. I'll have to ask Lieutenant Crane about that when he gets in, but people throw away valuable stuff sometimes. There was this 11 year old kid apparently at the dump, found this piece of art.

You know, it's not huge or anything. It turns out it's a detailed Renaissance engraving. And, right now, it's headed to the auction block. Predicted to fetch over $26,000. I could use $26.

Alright. If I found some garbage worth $26, I'd be overjoyed. How about 260? Woah. $26,000.

This is crazy. Yeah. You find art in the garbage. Just hang on to it. I don't know if you're allowed to go to the dump and just dig around either.

And I don't recommend it at least at the Idaho Falls, transfer station. You It's probably not safe in the pit. I assume they frown on you getting in the pit. Alright. So I don't know.

Hit the thrift store or something. Might be able to strike it rich. Man. Do I have any old art around my house? No.

No. I don't. I'm probably the guy who would have donated something to the thrift store that ended up being worth just bank. Yeah. You're welcome.

Whoever purchased, stuff I got rid of over at the, youth ranch. I hope it hope it brings you millions. Hopefully there's not too much fallout from my tweet at Nicki Minaj. A few of her fans have commented back to me so far. It's it's it's pretty tame.

You know, there there isn't any hostility. It's not like getting attacked by the swifties, but I stand by my statements here. Alright? You can't just punch down on 100 of people if you've got a few people working at a company that made you mad. Alright?

As she was in case you missed my break earlier, throwing jabs at Atlantic Records employees who were fired yesterday, they did mass firing. Like, hundreds of people got fired, including some people I know who are wonderful people, some of the best people I know in the music business. And she's all, yeah. UPS is hiring. I I just thought it was rude.

You know? She's rolling in the millions. These are just normal people trying to get by, take care of their families, and again, really good people. So, yeah, I think that's tone deaf and, pretty messed up. You know?

Throw jabs at the specific people that you don't like. Because most of these people had got fired. They're just trying to get by and probably really good folks. So whatever. So what was it?

About a month ago, maybe 2 months ago, you know, that creepy, just unsettling place in Rexburg, the Daybell House was up for sale, and nobody really knew what was going on. I talked about it on air pondering who on earth would wanna buy such a place, and that hopefully, whoever did was going to just, you know, burn it to the ground, demolish it, make it into, you know, something nice. No idea what they're going to actually do with it, but it does look like as of today, it's gone. Video posted at eastidahonews.com. If you wanna watch the Daybell House being razed to the ground by, a variety of companies with their demolition equipment.

That is right. The article does say plans for the property have not been disclosed, but good to see him tearing that horrible place down. Gotta be the well, I mean, the worst story in east Idaho history. I know there have been, you know, plenty of bad ones, but horrible. So glad to hear the people out in that area no longer have to drive by and see that place.

We don't get, you know, a bunch of creeps rolling into the area with their, you know, dark tourism. Good riddance. Anyhow, it was kind of a dark topic, but it made me happy to see them just, ripping that place down. Yeah. I that's that's good for east Idaho.

Well, I decided I had better check back in on Twitter and see if anybody was getting mad at me, and they in fact were, but not not too bad. Not too bad yet. Nicki Minaj fans, Peaches. Not happy with them because I said that she was, rude to punch down on the 170 plus employees who were fired from Atlantic Records yesterday. Calling them out rude.

Oh, it is rude. You know? She's just rolling around in a big pile of 1,000,000 of dollars and, oh. I I've seen her tweet before. Have you seen her tweets?

No. I mean It's not proper English. Yeah. She, she put on Twitter yesterday after everybody got fired. Dear fired executives and a and r's.

Okay. Now listen. If you wanna say executives, the people at the top, you know how we feel about, you know, upper level management in the music business. They're generally pretty, you know, crooked people. Alright?

We've talked about radio. You know, big corporations like Iheart, they fire people in mass all the time for no reason. Yeah. Punching up at the execs is one thing, but she mentions A and R people. Does she know what these people do for a living?

The guy who I know who's a good friend of mine who got fired yesterday from Atlantic, his job is to promote artists and help their career grow. He has to deal with all the programming people around the country, streaming, playlist people to try to convince them. Hey. Check out this artist's new song. You should give it some exposure.

Let's get it out there so people can learn more about this artist, and we can help their careers grow. What a piece of crap that guy was. Right? Shame be upon him for helping these artists grow in their careers as musicians. I've watched specific artists he was working with over the years go from what they call baby bands into arena acts, and that comes from promotional work to expose these artists to new people.

I I just think that it was pretty horrible of her to say that when these aren't, like, rich people. The a and r people, they're not rolling in 1,000,000 of dollars. They're just like you and me, working normal jobs, trying to get by, take care of their families. And they're good people. My homie who got canned yesterday, one of the best people in the business I know.

You'll never find anybody who would say something bad about him. But we got, you know, some of her fans chiming in. I don't think this tweet is for innocent workers. It's specifically for those execs at Atlantic. No.

It's like, no. She said, did, you know, dear fired executives and a and r. She called out everybody. She didn't just say the executives, so I wrote back like, hey, it'd be fine with throwing specific jabs, but but when hundreds of people get fired, you're probably punching down on some good people, like a good friend of mine. And then somebody else said your friend was a beneficiary of Atlantic Records evil deeds.

Oh, the cool ignorance routes on the Internet. I love that route. Well, yeah. He's such a such a bad guy. Right.

No kidding. Yeah. Beneficiary of their evil deeds, you know. All that work he did making people like me go, oh, this is a great artist. Thank you for bringing him to my attention.

I'm gonna play him for our listeners. I'm gonna pump him up. Oh, jeez. He helped our listeners go, you know, win tickets and, meet and greets. You know, he'd line up for a small market station like us, meet and greets with our listeners' favorite artist.

You know how many things these a and r people do for us peaches and our listeners. Nicki Minaj, I I don't think understands what people do in the business, and the the fans certainly don't. But, anyway, it hasn't blown up into too much of a disaster online, but I am responding to these people. I'm not just gonna let them sit here and go, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Is it one of those Twitter accounts that doesn't have a real profile picture?

It's just a cartoon? Mhmm. Yep. Yeah. That's how it goes.

Yeah. The people with the loudest opinions online are the ones that have the, like, not not a photo of themselves, but a photo of, like, their dog, their cat, or an anime figure. If it's an anime cartoon, that's when, you know, it's it's gonna be a terrible account. That was the one, who said that your friend was beneficiary of Atlantic Records evil deeds. And just reply to you.

Like anime, you mean you're a loser. No. I just wrote back and said something like, you know, oh, yeah. Shame on it. My friends are obsessed with anime so that's why I make fun.

I just joke around with him. My kids like anime too. I I'm totally fine with anime. I want an anime fan to be mad at me now and start tweeting on putting a post on Reddit or something like that. Well Peaches says he doesn't like anime fans.

Well, what you should do is just jump on our Twitter and start attacking Swifties. Alright? Just Oh, just kill her Swift. What are you talking about? No.

The Swifties, not her. I mean, I'm fine with her too. Just attack the Swifties. Just for fun. Fine.

They don't bother me. Let's see if we can cause a ruckus on her Twitter. Why? Well, why not? How about attack BTS fans before anything else?

Yeah. But I don't that's as big of a thing anymore as Taylor Swift. You just won't attack the Swifties because your sister's a Swiftie. I just won't attack the Swifties because they're they're not bothering us. No.

Yeah. BJ's in it because of your sister. I'll I'll attack the rock and metal elitists all day every day. But we want the people who will cause a ruckus. You know?

I wanna get her, you know, some action going in the Twitter algorithm for us. I want you to post in the Kay Bear group saying, like, old school punk sucks, long live, like, this new email. No. I'm not trying to aggravate our listeners. We're trying to aggravate the ones that are, like, are obsessed with those crappy old punk bands are the worst people.

Peaches, those shows are great fun shows, man. They're fun shows, but they're not better than you know, they're not like the holy grail of music. Everybody has their own taste, peaches. Everybody has their own taste. Yeah.

But everyone else has Punk fans, you know, like punk music. What I'm about to say. But No. There's country music fans. They like country music.

Everybody's got their own taste. If you don't listen to country, that's kinda weird. That's kinda sad. See, beaches, there's some good country out there. We've talked about it before.

Listen to it sparingly. You don't listen to it, like, 247. If you only listen to one genre, that's odd. I I agree. I think, you know, you need to have some variety in your life, but maybe you don't.

I don't know. Live your life. You're a liar. I would say you're a liar, though, because every single time you go to, like, a rock and metal show, they're always doing the Backstreet Boys, and everybody in crowd knows every word. Of course, they do.

They love those songs. And we'll be back, alright, in just a minute. You like that feature? That sounds good. It sounds yeah.

I was just scrolling Facebook, and I saw a picture of, I don't know, some woman and she's like, check it out. Me and my cat have matching socks, and I just can't imagine trying to put socks on a cat. Alright? I've never tried, but seems like, dangerous business, and it seems like your cat would hate it. But she had a lot of likes on the photo, so I might have to give it a go.
