The Viktor Wilt Show

Yo, good morning, it is Friday, oh yeah, hold on we're not ready for that yet.

Alright, let's party. Well, do you think this guy went to bed at a reasonable time? You know?

Got to rest when he should, so he'd be up and on fire for the Friday edition of the Viktor Wilt show? Of course not, but this time I'm blaming the cops. That's right, one cop in particular. Of course it's Lieutenant Crain. Now went up to Rexburg last night, took Becca and her daughter to Fat Cats to watch the showings of the two episodes of Family Feud that Lieutenant Crain and his family were on. Packed theater, it was lots of fun.

His family's really funny and the episodes were very entertaining as I knew they would be. We'll talk more about that with Lieutenant Crain when he gets in today for traffic school powered by the advocates. Happens at 8.45. If you're listening to this on demand, I post traffic school separately as a bonus episode. So you can check that out.

Everywhere podcasts can be found. But yeah, you know, the showings started at about 7.30. I think we got out of Fat Cats at about 8.45. Then he got, you know, the half hour-ish drive back from Rexburg to Idaho Falls. And then of course, you know, we needed to get some food because we didn't get food beforehand. So we stopped at McDonald's and, you know, kids remember everything.

They remember everything you tell them. So Emery's like, you said the next time we came to this McDonald's, we would eat inside so I could check out the toys. Because, you know, we went there recently and she apparently had never been to that particular McDonald's. So, all right, we got to eat inside.

Now, and then she's got to play. So we're at McDonald's fairly late, get home. You know, you're trying to wind down, get to bed, end up going to sleep way too late. And I haven't had any caffeine yet this morning. So I need to get chugging some raw meat energy drink. Hopefully I'll remember to pick up some instant coffee over the weekend. I mean, I think the raw meat energy drink tastes better than instant coffee. But I don't know that Wynco Classic Roast Instant Coffee, it's just my go-to. It gives me the proper energy needed to power through this program and sometimes entertain you on a good day.

So I'm going to get to chugging that and digging up content. We're going to crush Friday. Then we got the weekend and I swear if I don't get to sleep in tomorrow, I'm going to lose my mind. All right. Going to try to go to bed at a reasonable time on a Friday night and sleep in and then I'm going to do the same on Sunday. I want to come in Monday just like on fire for a Monday, which would be so rare.

We'll see. It'd be interesting to see how many rock radio stations have played that song. I'll have to look it up here in a minute because I can see all you wouldn't believe the data I have access to.

Not just what other radio stations are playing, but what you are listening to right here locally. That's right. I can see it all. Okay. Um, this thread I found could either be inspiring or totally depressing and I haven't read any of the responses.

But I was like listening to that song instead of looking up content. So this is what we're going to do. What makes you keep going despite everything? Uh, current top answer. I just keep waking up in the morning.

All right, fair. The alarm clock does keep me going despite everything. Sometimes I have to hit snooze multiple times. And then finally I go, okay, all right, I have to go. I have to pay these bills. Oh, I need more money. I guess I'll go to work. Yeah, waking up. That's a good way to keep going.

Let's see here. Honey badger mentality. Clamp on with bone breaking force and refuse death. If that doesn't work bite much harder and shake my head a little and see if that does it. All right. That's fairly inspiring.

Honey badger mentality. That's how I'm going to make it through Friday. Oh, I know I say it pretty much every morning. Like, oh, a nap would be really good.

It's just so early. So honey badger mentality. It is this person says always having something to look forward to, whether it's next week in a few months or next year. When you don't have anything to look forward to, that's when people start to give up.

That's true. I got a lot of things that I'm looking forward to in 2020. 26. You know, it's good to be a fan of live music because you've always got a concert to look forward to. Got ghosts coming up in holy crap. Two weeks. That's awesome.

That's great. Looking forward to that and lots of other good shows. Looking forward to some other things that are sacred.

Sacred. Yeah. And then Grand Theft Auto 6.

It's going to come out at some point. So I got to survive. There we go. This person keeps going through spite.

Okay. There's like, you ain't going to stop me. I got days when I feel like that. Whatever world you want to try to crush me. You want to try to crush me.

I'll crush you. Oh, sometimes that's how you got to do it. This person says habit. Okay. Yeah. You need to have something to look forward to.

All right. This person says I have too much to do and people who depend on me. I won't let them down. That's a good way to keep going. Having people who depend on you.

You know, I think that's good for people to have in life. You know, when I lived alone for like two years, I got, I don't know. I started getting kind of weird. You know, just being the crazy cat guy. Cooped up alone with two cats and you know, spending a lot of time just sitting there. Just sitting there.

It'll make you a little bit weird. Good to have people who need you to get up and get moving and get the job done. All right. Thankfully, this thread has not been depressing yet. Okay. Fear of death. Yeah.

That's a good way to keep going. I'm terrified of death. I don't even know why. Cause I mean, ultimately, like no matter what happens, like all the stuff you got to deal with here, like it's done, you know, but it's just that what happens, what happens? Yeah.

That's a little bit terrifying. Yeah. All right.

This person, uh, you know, a lot of people talking about, you know, needing their family or their family needing them, helping people, their pets. Okay. I'm going to go back to Honey Badger mentality. Just bite down and just tear through the day. Crush it. That's what we're going to do to today. Friday. We're going to crush it down. We're going to keep going and then we're going to get to the weekend and dang it. I tell you what, I'm sleeping in. I'm going to try to go to bed at a reasonable time.

It don't matter what I'm sleeping in. Oh, I just needed to be refreshed and I need to drink more of this raw meat energy drink because I am tired. All right. I'll bite down and wake up. So earlier I was pondering how many radio stations in the country have played the new motionless and light song, afraid of the dark.

It was better than I expected, but it's still sad. Like how out of touch are these programmers? Why aren't they paying attention to what's going on? That song has been everywhere on my social media feeds. As far as new music goes, that is the one rock or metal song that everybody's talking about right now.

Motionless and light, afraid of the dark. They haven't put out any music in the years. You know, they're a pretty big rock slash metal band nowadays. Five radio stations nationwide have played that song at least one time.

One of them is, of course, us. And then my homies at Octane. I would expect them to play it. Vinny, you know, he's generally got his finger on the pulse. And then WZOR, Appleton, Wisconsin, Cutter's Station, you know, Cutter from the Cutting Edge Countdown airs Sundays at 8 p.m. Cutter's Station has played it a few times. And then a couple stations I've never heard of. K is that KJOC or KIOC in Quad Cities, Iowa, as well as KFMW in Waterloo, Cedar Rapids. Where's that? Is that Iowa too? Now, wait a minute. I just pulled up their playlist. This couldn't be right.

Okay. Yeah, I don't know what I clicked with all of a sudden a bunch of country songs popped up. I don't think that's a rock station. What is this station? KFMW. They got it, you know, it's an okay looking playlist.

It's nothing too exciting, but, you know, it's about about a million dollars. What I'd expect from your average rock station. And it looks like they follow the radio chart pretty good.

And then let's take a look at this KJOC. How are they looking? Hey, you know, they got deaf tones in their top spot.

That's not too bad. They're playing some Pierce the Vale. All right, all right, these guys are looking pretty good.

Looking pretty decent. Anyway, five stations nationwide. That's how sad rock radio is.

We'll check on it in a week. I think that song is a perfect rock radio song myself. Yes, it is heavy, but heavy is mainstream.

Okay. I don't know how old you got to be to not understand that heavy music is mainstream. Like, if you are, I'd say like 45, 50 and under, you grew up on that music.

Yeah. Pantera was crushing the Billboard charts back in the 90s. So I'm pretty sure that most people 50 and under heavy music is just normal. But what do I know? All right, let's talk about being old. Yeah.

Come on. There's a lot of you in my boat. All old.

Now I saw this thread. What old thing would break young people's brains today? And I'm like, all right, how many of these things am I familiar with? If these are old things, I must be old.

And every single one of them I've looked at. Yeah, this from back when I was young. Oh, old. I mean, Jade and I were talking yesterday because it was his birthday. We threw on a death in December track. And that song was from the early 2000s. It's classic rock now. Me and Jade have put out music that's old enough to be classic rock. We're old. Okay.

So these are old things that would supposedly break young people's brains today. The idea of arranging to meet someone and then having no more contact until you meet there. Yeah.

You know, no, no texting like, hey, I'm running a few minutes behind or, hey, where are you at specifically? Like last night, we were, you know, headed to Rexburg to watch Family Feud with Lieutenant Crane and friends. You know, the Crane family was on Family Feud, which I believe you can watch on Hulu because it looked like that's how we were watching it last night. Um, anyhow, and those were the episodes from the 27th and 28th, if you want to watch them. Yeah. As we were heading out, I'm like, okay, Lieutenant Crane, where in fat cats, blah, blah, blah.

So I was able to get the information on the fly of, you know, what theater we need to go to and things like that. Can you imagine? All right, we're going to meet somebody in Rexburg. No, I'd be way too paranoid that they're not going to show up or something like that.

That's just how you did it back in the day. Let's see. What else do we have here? If you missed the TV show, sorry, that's right. You better hope it's on again sometime and you better be ready. Well, because if you didn't see it then you ain't going to see it. You miss Family Feud with the cranes.

Sorry. And back then there would be like just a handful of shows that were popular. And so everybody was watching the same thing, like when the Sopranos was airing on TV.

Yeah, this is, you know, we're talking cable TV. That's what everybody was talking about. Everybody was watching the same show. Now there are 10 billion shows.

Chances are you're not watching the same thing as everybody else. Have they finished airing all of the new episodes of Fall Out, by the way? Because I'm going to have to binge that one out if they've got that done. Finally, finally finished Welcome to Dairy, which was really good. And it looks like they're going to be making some more seasons of that. If you're a horror fan, highly recommend Welcome to Dairy.

All right. What are some other things, old things that would break young people's minds? Having to untangle your favorite cassette. Or, you know, having your cassette deck, eat your favorite tape, eat it and break it.

Yeah, that was always very, very aggravating. Now you just fire up your phone, huh? Listen to that music.

Just fire up your phone. Back in the day, CD booklets in your car, they were worth a lot of money. People would steal people's books of CDs.

Yeah, it's still your car stereo, too. I don't know if that still happens much. We've talked about people, you know, just showing up unannounced because they happen to be in the neighborhood. Beck and I tried to do that to Peaches the other night. We were driving down his road, cruising back to the house.

I'm like, oh, that's where Peaches lives. Let's stop and bother him. And apparently he didn't hear us at the door. He was there, but he did not hear us. He was gaming. Oh, geez, the old school carbon copy credit card imprimter.

Okay. Now, I mean, I'm old, but that one I only remember from when I was a kid. Yeah, they didn't have machines for running credit cards back in the day. They had this thing, you put the credit card in it and put a little slip of carbon paper and you'd, you know, like swipe the card, but you're just making a copy of it.

And I assume they'd send it off to the bank and the bank would process the funds. Yeah. I remember that. Doing research using card catalogs in the library. Yeah, they didn't have it on computers back then. They had these little drawers, little drawers, and you had to know you know, which drawer to look in for certain subjects and things like that. I don't know if you're aware of the, the Dewey Decimal System. Isn't that what it's called? The Dewey Decimal System.

They probably don't even teach kids that anymore. But the nonfiction section of the library is arranged by subject. So if you know what subject you're looking for, you'd open the stupid card catalog and I'm going to dig through it.

Try to find some books on something you were looking about. Looking through the yellow pages. I'm glad we don't have phone books anymore.

I don't need people knowing where I live or what my phone number is. I don't want to bother me. You know, kind of like people showing up at your house unannounced. I don't like when people do that.

So I probably shouldn't do that to other people, but I just thought it would be fun to bother peaches. Ordering things from a catalog via snail mail. Yeah, you'd rip out a card, you'd fill it out, and then you'd mail it and just wait forever for some kind of item to show up. You'd like totally forget that the item had even been shipped out. Yeah.

Oh yeah, that reminds me. I ordered something recently and I think it showed up yesterday that I forgot I had ordered like two months ago. We'll see if that's what's in the box. When I open it up, when I get home, I thought it was a carpet shampoo, but it might not have been that. Might have been something a little more fun.

Let's see. Someone was explaining to their kids what it was like to go to the movies, how you had to look up times in the newspaper, or you know, you'd call the movie theater and sit there and listen to the movie listings. Yeah, newspapers. Everybody used to get the newspaper.

Remember that, kids? Maybe we should go back to that way so people can't leave comments. Just get rid of news online altogether. Oh, it's so irritating. I mean, I've already scrolled Facebook this morning and seen so many stupid takes. Like, geez, people.

All right, let's see here. These ones are kind of boring. Hear me out on this sitting in the car and watching raindrops slide down the window because that's the most stimulation you're going to get out of. On the long car ride. Thankfully, I was into reading. In the long road trips, I just crush books.

I don't know what kids did back in the day who weren't into reading. What did you do in the bathroom? You know, I know everybody stares at their phones now.

What'd you do back then? Just stare at the wall? Well, ponder life.

Now, on the can is no place to ponder life. It's generally like in the morning, trying to get ready for the day. You're like, oh, I don't want to go anywhere.

I want to go take a nap. Yeah, you had to wait for everything back in the day. And boredom was a much bigger problem before phones.

And I don't know. It might have been good for the mind. You know, I'm starting to get a headache. And I think it's just because of thinking about social media. Oh, why am I getting a headache?

This is annoying. Should I drink more caffeine? Should I just shut up?

Maybe I'll just shut up. So I was, of course, scrolling Reddit and I came across a post from the Wyoming subreddit. I was reading through it and it's like, OK, these are things that are not only unique to Wyoming. They're like things no one realizes about Wyoming that are unique to Wyoming.

And it's like, OK, well, Idaho's right next door. We ain't got a lot of people here either. Brutal winters, for example. Yeah, it sucks. You know, you got all these people who are moving here. And I wonder sometimes, like this winter has been the best winter of all time.

I couldn't be happier about it. I know for the sake of agriculture and things like that, we need some moisture. But for me personally, you know, my own selfish reasons, this winter has been fantastic. Usually winter is horrible and it never ends. It's like six months out of the year. It just sucks here as far as the weather goes.

I guess the same thing in Wyoming. And then they're talking about how it's not empty. You know, yeah, we don't have a lot of people, but we got stuff.

Yeah, yeah, I enjoy wide open spaces myself, like driving around the Midwest or driving around on the East Coast where there is just no open spaces anywhere. Oh, it just sucks. It's just town after town after town after town. Just people, people, people love being able to just get away, get away from it all.

Get away from people. Yeah, let's see. They're saying that they thought waving at people when you drive past them going the other way was a standard practice, but it's evidently fairly unique to Wyoming. Now people definitely do the, you know, like somebody letting you in or letting you through. Waving at people. We definitely do that here.

Driving an hour or two to a different town to shop or get a meal that's not available in your town. Last night, let's go to Rexburg. All right, time to go to Fat Cats.

Ain't got Fat Cats in Idaho Falls showing family feud. Had to make the drive. Well, definitely come.

I mean, want to go to a concert? All right, time to cruise to Salt Lake or Boise. What are they doing in Wyoming? Wyoming, it's got to suck real bad. There's not like any big cities close.

You might get lucky if you get some shows in Montana or something, but oh, let's see here. Simply going for a drive is a pastime. Yeah, you can go for a great drive around here. Like, all right, let's cruise out to Swan Valley. It'll be nice. Let's go. Heck yeah. I can't wait for the actual nicer months. Becca hasn't been to like all kinds of places that you'd expect a local to have gone to.

So it makes it easy on me. Like, all right, I know a bunch of places we can go and it's going to all be fresh. Let's see here, wearing a jacket and shorts at the same time.

That's my summer look. Yeah, there's some days you wake up and it's freezing and then in the afternoon you're cooking. Yeah, sorry, Wyoming.

These things are not that unique to you. Idaho, you know, kind of empty, kind of quiet too. All right, dudes, if there's a woman that you're into, you know, and you're trying to woo her and get her attention, getting arrested at her place of work is probably not the best.

And it's not going to look good. This guy, where is he from? Of course, Florida. Well, this guy was trying to get the attention of a woman that you really liked. She worked at a strip club. So we went to a flower shop, bought $300 worth of flowers and chocolates, brought them to her, you know, very nice. But he used counterfeit money to buy the flowers. So police were already on alert for this guy because the worker at the flower shop noticed these were, they were the bills that they use in movies that say for motion picture use only. Should have been able to notice that right out of the gate, but I don't know.

People don't always pay attention. So anyway, cops were already aware that this guy had been using counterfeit bills. Well, then when he drops the flowers off, he of course hangs out at the strip club, order some drinks, and then he starts using more counterfeit money to try to pay the bill there. So strip club didn't mess around. They just call the cops, they show up and, uh, yeah, he got dragged out and, you know, they questioned him on the flower shop thing and he's like, well, you know, I just really like this girl.

I needed to get her some flowers. It's not going to help this guy that he was also found to have, uh, meth and cocaine in his pockets when they searched him at the strip club. So he's in jail for a while. I don't think it's going to work out with the, with the lady. I mean, hopefully she liked the flowers and chocolates or did they, you know, confiscate those?

The article doesn't say. That's not how you're going to pick up a girl. Okay.

You need to get a job, buy those flowers with real money. All right. Florida man. Anyway, we'll be back with some freak news here in a few. Just hang on. I've pointed out many times that I've got pretty good neighbors.

Yeah. You don't have to worry about any grief. It tends to be pretty tame in the old cul-de-sac. You know, I don't ever have anybody show up, knock on my door, ask if I want to hang out.

And when I'm like, no, they leave and then come back with a machete. Uh, it happened in suburban Chicago a couple of days ago. Guy facing felony charges.

Yeah. He just went to his neighbor's apartment and was like, Hey, you guys want to hang out? And they're like, no thanks.

And let's maybe hang out another time. So he comes back and just starts just beating the door with a machete, stab the door, went in the apartment, people inside were able to get away. No injuries reported. So cops show up. They go to his apartment and he's just sitting there holding the machete.

Yeah. A felony home invasion and multiple misdemeanor accounts of assault. Uh, not a good way to make friends. And just don't show up at people's house unannounced. All right. It's 2026. We talked about it earlier. It's not acceptable.

Okay. If you're headed overseas, be careful what kind of mushrooms you eat. Apparently every year in the Yunnan province of China, doctors brace themselves for an influx of people with an unusual complaint.

They all have the same symptom. Visions of pint sized elf like figures marching under doors, crawling up walls and cleaning to furniture. They start seeing elves and it's all from some kind of mushroom that is very popular in this area.

During peak mushroom season between June and August, they serve it at restaurants. But they're like, okay, here's a timer. Don't eat these until you've cooked them for 15 minutes or you're going to start seeing little people.

That's bizarre. So make sure you cook it all the way. If you ran a restaurant, would you want to risk your customers suddenly seeing elves running up the walls? It just seems like things might get a little bit out of control. So yeah, you know, when it comes to mushrooms, you got to be careful what you're eating. There are people who go out and just gather mushrooms.

And they're like, well, I saw in a guidebook this one's fine. Mushrooms are gross anyway. I don't understand how people eat them. Like I'm going to get some pizza.

Let me put some of these mushrooms on it. They have the worst texture. Not a fan.

All right. What else do we have here? Oh, this guy really wanted a Pepsi. All I wanted was a Pepsi. Now I'm in jail. This guy showed up at his neighbor's house and he like burst in and the people locked themselves in their bedroom. So he's pounding on the door and he's like, I want a Pepsi.

Yeah, luckily nobody was hurt here. And I don't know if the guy got a Pepsi, but he's in jail. He was threatening to kill people and things like I want a Pepsi gas station, bro. You can't just assume your neighbors have a Pepsi. I mean, you know how expensive soda's gotten to be.

I was looking at this graph earlier about grocery prices. What was it a year ago? About a year ago, over a year ago, day one, grocery prices going down. Not according to this chart that I pulled up six years of grocery receipts. The only item on the list that has gone up and come back down was eggs. Everything else, that graph, it sure looks like everything's going up. Oh, no wonder I haven't bought any instant coffee in a while. Coffee is skyrocketing in price.

Ridiculous. They don't eat buying any soda any time either. At least potatoes are pretty flat. Around here we can get cheap potatoes.

We'll always be able to survive. What else do we have here for freak news? If you're planning to visit Australia, you're crazy. Why would you go there? But after four shark attacks and 48 hours, they are urging beachgoers to just go to a pool. Why are people still going in natural waters? Shark attacks are happening, it seems like. More and more. And aside from that, who knows what else is in the water?

All right. You can't see. You can't see what's in the water. Could be all kinds of critters.

All right. Jellyfish. Yeah, you get all stung and somebody's going to say they need to pee on you to try to make it better even though it doesn't do anything. It's just a bad time if you're going to the beach. You know, get a chair, sit in the sand, listen to the ocean waves. It's very calming.

Getting your leg ripped off by a shark. Not calming. All right.

That's a good way to ruin the beach. All right. I got plenty more coming up on the show. Also in about 40 minutes, we'll kick off traffic school powered by the advocates.

Would love it if you join in on the show today. Get those questions ready. You can ask me in Lieutenant Crane anything you want.

Anything at all. All right. Within reason, I guess. I shouldn't say anything at all. You know, try to not be out of control.

But yeah, that's coming up in a bit and I got plenty of other content. So don't go anywhere. Well, good morning peaches. Good morning. Happy Friday. I am so happy that it's Friday.

Holy crap. Do I need a weekend of relaxation? I don't know. I got about 10 billion things I need to do around the house, but I'm hoping peaches. I'm hoping because last night I was kept up all late by the cops. Well, keeping me up late. They busted you for drugs again.

No, they were just hanging out in a movie theater. You were there. Good ol' Rexburg.

Fat Cat. I can't believe there were that many people in the theater. Dude was packed.

Me and Aubrey walked in and we couldn't find a seat for ourselves. Shout out to Shaggy. Shaggy hooked you up with a seat, huh?

Yeah, he's like, my daughter's gonna sit in my lap, just sit next to us. Ah. Yeah, so I meant to save some seats for you guys. I'm like, there's no way, we're gonna have five seats all together.

Yeah, I was surprised when I walked in there too. It was packed to the brim. So I think Lieutenant Crane, like somebody ended up scooting over or something, so we were able to get some seats.

But he had to bring some chairs in. Yeah. So, yeah, that was pretty fun.

Watching the Crane family on Family Feud, I look forward to chatting with Lieutenant Crane about it when he gets in here in about a half hour for traffic school. I was telling you last night, even my dad was making fun of him in his poor performance on that game. He did really good. It was just, he bombed the one question.

They could have won him the big bucks. Aubrey walks up to me afterwards, he goes, Kira kind of sucked. Oh. I was like, oh.

That's messed up. All right, Aubrey, get you and your family on there. I want to see it. Oh, yes.

Aubrey's family with peaches. Huh? But what people got to understand is when you're in like the hot seat, I'm sure it's a lot different than just watching the show. Well, especially after recording for hours.

Yeah. And hours. Like to do, I think he said to do one episode was like three hours of recording and they whittle it down to 20 minutes and you're just standing there. So you're getting tired because you've been on your feet. And then also you've got studio lights on you. I'm sure it's really weird. Like you've got a studio audience. It's probably a lot harder than you think to come up with answers sometimes. Like I'm a pro at Will of Fortune.

Like I think I could crush Will of Fortune. I've thought about signing up before. You should.

But you never know once you get there. You know who the host is. It's Ryan Seacrest. Ryan Seacrest. It'd be funny if you and him got into like a radio battle. I would. Why do you do those stupid bits, Ryan?

Why don't you try harder? I'd really kick you off the show. I'd love to be on Will of Fortune though. I think it'd be a lot of fun. I think it'd be great if you were on Wipeout.

No, that wouldn't be very good. I think I would fare much better on Will of Fortune than Wipeout. Imagine Jade on that show. The only poor guy would die, I think.

You just see a body floating in the water after he falls off the red blouse. We need to get Jade on Sora so we can make Sora videos of Jade doing the different obstacle courses at Wipeout. Like Jade on the big bouncy red balls.

Jade going through where the boxing gloves come out of the wall and punch you in the face. My cousin Marcy was on that show. I need to find her video. Didn't you say she failed? She got wrecked, yeah. She's like a five foot one little girl. She's going to get annihilated.

Oh man, Wipeout would be brutal. That show's really funny though. It's a really funny show to watch. But yeah, like Will of Fortune, if I'm playing it on a video game system or something, I just crush it. Just crush it. I've got great strategy for Will of Fortune. Try to make big bucks.

Maybe I'll have to sign up. Do they fly out? Do they pay for everything? Well, I know for a family feud they did.

That's what Lieutenant Crane said. Yeah, so even if you get a free vacation, that's not bad. I mean, you could go to Atlanta, Georgia.

Yeah, I don't know. I'll have to ask Lieutenant Crane what he thought about Atlanta. I think Will of Fortune films in LA, which to me sounds like a better vacation than Atlanta.

Yeah, sure. I'd much rather go to LA. I wonder where they film in LA. I don't know.

Water Bros. Lot. Let's find out. Where is Will of Fortune filmed?

This is very important content. What part is it in Burbank maybe? Will of Fortune is filmed at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City. Oh, even more ghetto. Is Culver City pretty ghetto?

Yeah. I mean, you gotta think most of those cities are not going to be great. You know, I'm not super familiar. Because LA is considered one big place. A lot of people would call Culver City LA. They'd call Universal City LA. Beverly Hills LA. So there's a lot of different areas I wouldn't be familiar with and would not know what's sketchy and what isn't.

I haven't gone on the Hood Life tour. Right above Inglewood, California. Okay, Inglewood. You know, known as being semi-sketchy. You're between Beverly Hills and Inglewood.

Okay. And you're kind of close to Marina Del Rey. It's not too bad, but it is definitely crowded. You're kind of close to Santa Monica.

Okay. You know, and Santa Monica's. I heard Gone Down Hill. Did you guys go out to Santa Monica when you were there? No, I wanted Auburn to have a good time.

Oh, okay. I watched a YouTube video recently about the decline of Santa Monica. When I was there last, it was really nice. But apparently like businesses are shutting down left and right. It's all nobody's out on the streets. I think the last time I was on that pier was 2016, 2015 maybe.

Okay. Yeah, I don't remember when I was there last. The girls were pretty little. You know, we took them to Disneyland. So of course, had to go to check out the beaches. We went to Venice and we went to Santa Monica.

Which is funny because you go from Anaheim all the way up to Santa Monica, where it's the worst and Venice is especially terrible. Yeah. We stayed on the sunset strip, which was, that was a cool area.

Sure. We were right across the street from the comedy store. You get to see where all the bands were back in the day. Yeah. Like the eagle sat in that one particular place. David Bowie used to hang out there. I think we would have had more fun if the kids weren't with us, you know, because it could have gone and like hung out at the rainbow bar or something like that. Magic Castle. Do they allow kids at the Magic Castle? No.

You gotta be 21 and over. Okay. Yeah. That would have been fun, you know, or I almost went to the comedy store one night, but I was just tired. So I was like, I don't care. You know, the world famous comedy store.

I'd rather take a nap. Who do they have playing there? We passed by the Laugh Factory. I think it was Morgan J, the comedian that I actually liked. I should have went and saw saw him, but. Well, there's there's so much to do there that you just can't do it all.

You know, it's not like around here where there's an event. Gotta go. Family feud at Fat Cats. We're there. We can't miss this big event. That thing was more packed than most shows I've seen around the very. That's true.

That's true. Lieutenant Crane needs to start a band. Apparently there is a goat on the loose in Idaho Falls. Now, when I first saw this post, I think it might have been last night.

I don't know. I was like, is this real? It says lost goat. It's got a picture of a goat going down a slide. It says call Idaho Falls Animal Control last seen by baseball fields near Toffas Park. It's got a phone number hashtag goat life.

If seen, please call with any information. So multiple people post this. And I was like, all right, is this for real? I don't know. Maybe somebody just having some fun in the life in Idaho Falls group.

But a lot of people are invested in this. Like, hey, is the goat okay? You know, where is he? Now we've got people commenting and taking pictures.

I just saw him. Here's a picture of somebody driving down Yellowstone in Idaho Falls. And there is a goat in the road. And it looks like the same goat. 10 minutes ago, I saw the goat on Yellowstone 10 minutes ago.

So be aware if you're out on the roads. If you're in that area, Yellowstone and is that 17th? We'll go out there looking for his home.

Hopefully animal controls on the way. I mean, I got Lieutenant crane from the Idaho State Police on his way in here. And this is a very important thing happening in our community. Perhaps he can alert somebody. Get him over there. Take care of this goat.

Get this goat back to its home. That's the biggest thing happening in Idaho Falls right now. All right. Well, it's good to see people have moved on from complaining about the water tower being, you know, taken down to showing concern for this lost goat. Yeah. Coming together as a community. I like the positivity.

All right. Traffic schools kicking off in about 15 minutes. I'm telling you people, you need to take part.

Get those questions ready for me and Lieutenant crane. We got peaches in the house. What up peaches? So, you know that page that group I grew up in Idaho parentheses state, which I think is weird that they have parentheses state next to it. What else would I know parentheses supermarket?

Like, yeah, what else is there? I grew up in Idaho state. Let's see if I can find this group here. Cause I, okay. I'm not a member, but I'm going to join right now. And I better not have to answer any stupid questions. So somebody asked for some reason there's a page in there called life is Idaho. They posted prove you're from Idaho.

What radio station did you grow up listening to? Okay. Only like one person I see. Shout out to Stephanie wrote K-Bear and Z103.

There we go. But then what makes me, what made me laugh is Brent writes, guess you are from Southeast Idaho. K-Bear was the best rock station in the eighties.

I could pick up in Southeast Idaho. And I was going to reply back to this guy saying, Hey dude, it started in 1998. 99 99. Yeah.

It was not around in the eighties. That is correct. Yeah.

Looking through some of the responses here. I'm like, what are these stations? Yeah. Keep radio. KBO I've heard of them. Yeah. We're K-Bear listeners.

Please go flood this thing. There's somebody who said classy. I posted it in the, the K-Bear group. Oh, okay.

Cool. That way we can get some of them K-Bear responses in here. I got a few people saying only K-Bear.

Emily wrote just Z103. I guess people probably thought that I just asked the question in the K-Bear group. Oh, because one guy wrote KISN, which I don't know what that is. KISN. Is that a Twin Falls country station? No, maybe that's a Boise pop station. Yeah.

But. Can't remember. A few people were like, yeah, K-Bear wasn't on air until the early nineties.

I was nearly grown then, but I did listen to Salt Lake City's K-Bear, which, you know, is downright awful. Oh, there's worse. There's worse out there. Well, I don't know. Because like the Salt Lake City K-Bear, they use the same voice guy. Yeah.

It's confusing. And somebody in that thread too, the one lady that was like, oh, K-Bear and Z103. Somebody said, did you know K-Bear originally started in Utah? It's not true. And I'm like, we're separate companies.

We're not an expansion, you know. You know, it just goes back to management at the time, being dumb, because management and radio can be dumb. Obviously. You know, and they're not creative. Management are not the creative people in radio. I feel like there's not a single smart one. That's the last thing.

I like the management we have here. I'm just kidding. I don't know about that Jade guy. We gotta do a Jade guy every day.

I don't know about that Jade guy. But from what I understand back then, you know, even though they, I think they were separate companies that the familiar name of K-Bear and Salt Lake, they were like, OK, it's going to be 101. We might as well just go with K-Bear 101.

And it's like, no, just come up with something different. You know, like we have a station that I just got done fixing up 105 Outlaw. Awesome. And it's sounding great. It's dialed in right for the first time since we launched it. If you have friends into country music, this is like an alt country station. It, you know, you're going to hear all the stuff you wouldn't hear on normal country radio. But the name of it, I don't think is the best calling it Outlaw because then people think it's all going to only be that one specific genre, which is like, you know, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and, you know, these, these guys who, you know, they were like the old school Outlaws. And if you want to have a radio station, you need to have some variety. And there's a lot of different types of country music that don't get airplay. So it's, it's like an outlaw to traditional modern country radio, which is why you're changing the name to broke back 105.

Sure. But to change the name because I talked to Jade about this, it's a, you have to do all this crap with the FCC. There's, it's not as simple as just change the name. Oh, I think you told Justin the name was changing. He had to redo a whole bunch of stuff. He would lose his mind.

I would not want to be in this building. I think it could have a better name. Um, just because some people in the country world, they, they latch onto that term, Outlaw, and they, they're going to hear stuff on there that, you know, they're going to go, well, this is an outlaw country because we're playing, you know, there's, there's like a love song, all the different types of stuff that you hear country guys sing about, you know, growing up in a rough life, being an outlaw, heartbreak, drinking, love. It's got a little, you know, it's just got a little bit of everything, but you know, people latch onto terms, uh, in a, in a weird way. It's like when you use the phrase metal, like if we started a metal radio station, you know, I would put stuff on there that a hardcore metal head is going to say that's not metal. You know, like, um, to me, metal is so many different things. Like I would call ACDC potentially, you know, metal. Like if black Sabbath are the kings of metal, the originators of metal, then ghost is definitely metal. If you ask a guy like JD's age, for example, and you ask him what metal is, I'm sure he'll say like Judas Priest. Judas Priest. Uh, you know, one of the classics. But to the, to now, you know, that stuff is just classic rock. Yeah. To the younger people.

Right. But so everybody's got a different idea of what a term means. And that's why it kind of sucks when it comes to naming a radio station because people are going to expect a certain thing.

And what we've done with 105 outlaw is I think make the best country station out there, period. Because I don't like Florida, Georgia line. I don't like Jason Aldean. I don't like that pop country stuff that sounds, you know, it's just Z 103 with twangy vocals.

You know, they got electronic drum beats in the songs. I like real country music. So 105 outlaw, which you can download the app or listen on 105.5 HD two. If you have an HD radio in your car is we've gone to, you know, traditional sounding country, some of the, you know, all old country that's out nowadays, bluegrass, Americana, you know, a little bit everything. And you're going to have songs from mainstream country artists that have the right feel like, you know, some Chris Stapleton, you know, the argument, the argument I've been having with Justin was about Lainey Wilson. She has some very traditional sounding country songs and I didn't put her pop songs on there. But you really should have pissed them off and gave them like Beyonce. I should have put Beyonce on. I would love to see Justin somewhat of a meltdown. Hey, Mayor, you are live on the show.

Keep that in mind. Who's this? Hey, this is Sam. Hey, you guys got a good point about that. You know, I mean, it's just like you wouldn't call Imagine Dragons heavy metal, you know. Yeah, you wouldn't call them metal. But you there is an angle to saying they could be a rock band because they fall under the alternative category. An alternative rock band.

I mean, they've got guitars, they do a live show. That's where they started was the believer and radioactive. That was on alternative radio.

It was even on active rock, a radioactive. I think Piper was playing that on K-Bear. And I mean, I wouldn't play Imagine Dragons on K-Bear.

I think they, you know, fit elsewhere. But you know, these big blanket terms like rock or metal, that covers so much. I mean, so many different types of music.

You know, a lot of it that we wouldn't play on this station. But you could still call it a, you know, you could still call them a rock band like a lot of these indie bands that maybe play on Z103 back in 2011. We had a big, hey, stomp, hey, clap type of sound with the Luminers and Mumford and Sons and those could be considered rock. They could be considered a rock band.

You ever go to Spotify's like new rock playlist? And there's MGK in there. Exactly. Exactly.

So yeah, people got to not, you know, hold on to these terms so dearly and just try to enjoy things. But yeah, everybody, if you have family into a country music, tell them to check out 105 Outlaw. I'm really proud of the work that me and Justin and Jeff did on that station and Jade.

And I, I think it's very refreshing compared to listening to like, you know, Oh, Cupid where they speed up the songs and make them even worse. It was really bad when we were watching Family Feud last night and there was a commercial that popped up and Jeff Roper's face was right there on the big screen. Glad I didn't see it. Shaggy was sitting next to me from the pick and he heard me go, oh my God, get him off of there. I'll skip this commercial.

No, you guys got some valuable points in that, but you know, I mean, it's like things just need to stay where they're at and stuff. But so is that outlaw? Is that going to be changed over or what? Well, it's, you know, you can download the app. It's just 105 Outlaw. But if you have an HD radio in your vehicle or at home, if you go to 105.5 and then click over to HD2, you can listen to it on a normal, well on an HD radio. Like in my truck, I don't have an HD radio. Neither do I. I have a car from 2020. Yeah, you'd think that management as the guy who runs these stations might want me to be able to listen to them in my truck and get me a new radio management.

But I can't even get a new chair. But classy cams. Of course they can. They're classy. New board, new chairs.

A golden crown and scepter for Josh. Maybe we should start a metal channel just called elitist 101. Elitist 101. And we have just some nerdy guy.

Like we have like Douglas Baldwin in between the songs going, I didn't like this song. Like everybody would love a metal station, but people would still complain. Oh, that's what I always say is people are spoiled around here because we've gave them so much. Yep. You're absolutely right, man. So, well, we appreciate your call, dude. All right, you guys have a good one.

You too, man. Peace. All right, bye. All right, everybody.

Holy crap. The show's almost done. We better take a break and maybe I'll yapp one more time before we got a big announcement at 10. Oh yeah, we're going to announce a concert ticket giveaway. And if you're a metalhead, you'll classic metalhead, you'll be interested.

So stay tuned. What a day so far peaches. I think it was a better show than usual. You know, good. Yeah, I think, uh, I don't know what's going on, but it's just Friday. It's good.

Maybe that's it. Just Friday made me like, all right, we're going to have fun today. And you said something prior to this break that reminded me of something you mentioned a local podcast that you check in on every once in a while. I hate listen every once in a while. Hate listen.

Yeah. So I actually did that about a week ago or so, uh, because I was alerted that, um, I was discussed on this podcast and, you know, I hadn't listened in ages because it's, it's not a very good show in my opinion. It's just like a radio show, but it's a week late. You know, it's a week late. It's edited and also it just sucks. Yeah.

Very heavily edited. And it's all stories that, uh, we've all already heard from the last week. It's them like recapping what's, what's going on in the life and Idaho Falls Facebook group pretty much recapping the life and Idaho Falls Facebook group. And, um, it was such a funny episode because the main host is very angry.

Like that podcast when it started out, it was pretty chipper. This guy's, he's mad. He, he's big mad.

And he, he just kept going back to trashing on me, which is funny because he kind of steered away from the narrative of the episode. Yeah. Like you're supposed to be talking about everything in the area, everything in the area. But then something would like click in his head and then get mad at me again. But you're living in his head. Like I can, I can hear him. I can see him like sort of going over what you've said to him in his head. Dude.

And it hurt obviously. And it's funny because he won't say my name on the show. You know, so I'm not going to say his name on the show either.

No plugs. Well, my favorite thing is that he had, he made an AI generated intro for specifically for that quote unquote segment. And I'm just thinking I can see him at his computer in his best suit jacket, you know, going like, I'm going to show him. I'm going to call this thing trash talk Tuesday or something. Well, and he got so mad. He just started trashing like all local media on that one episode I was listening to. He was accusing East Idaho news of ripping off their content because I guess East Idaho news shared like a GoFundMe or something that they had mentioned on their show. Like I don't think East Idaho news is sitting around listening to that podcast to get content for East Idaho news. Well, now that you mentioned it, I did see Nate Eaton just, you know, squinting at his computer screen watching this podcast on YouTube. Yeah, I got to get some good information from a week ago.

He's taking notes religiously. Yeah. And then, you know, one of the things I thought was pretty funny in the episode description referred to K-Bear as gay bear, which is also a show that pretends to be an ally of that community where, you know, rainbow clothes and things like that.

And that sounds like that would be pretty insulting to that community. Absolutely. If you're using that as a diss on us. So I thought that was pretty hypocritical and messed up.

Wow, that's pretty. I didn't even see that. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know if they've updated it, but that's what it said in the description. And I thought that was a look. Wow, this person's really, really angry. The other host of the show who's kind of like hippie, dippy and wants to love all people and animals.

Yeah. And it's so funny because. The main host is very butthurt that we've started uploading all of our shows here in the building as podcasts online because we're taking the spotlight away from him. When he says like, you know, they're just ripping me off because I started this podcast two years ago. Now they're doing podcast. This guy was at my house in my podcast studio a decade ago. I've always had a podcast studio set up. I did a podcast like in 2012. I was on the front page of Stitcher. But do you really think like he knows that I've done a podcast before?

Should we get Adam Corolla on the show and be like, hey, by the way, there's now thousands of people with podcasts. They're all ripping you off. Yeah, they're all ripping you off every single one of them. I mean, he's like considered the father of podcasting. Yeah. Yeah. And all that podcasting is is an audio talk format that you can access on demand.

Correct. We've talked so long that the notification popped up for the contest we're about to announce because it is 10 a.m. OK, we'll announce it after the legal ID. But I just wanted to talk a little bit about this.

We we are going to announce a concert ticket giveaway. But I just found it so funny how mad he was and, you know, saying that we don't do real podcasts when he's known that I did podcast ages ago. And this is absolutely a podcast and it's not any different from what his show is because he just does the same content that all the radio stations are doing and he throws in a few swear words, you know, jumps from topic to topic to topic to topic, doing very short little breaks that are edited. It's like if you want to talk about, OK, what's a real podcast? Having a conversation with someone for three hours like Joe Rogan. Is that a real podcast or what the last podcast on the left guys do?

Yeah, heavily research shelled. It's on just one subject and that's what they stick to. There's so many different types of podcasts. How can you say one is a real podcast and one isn't if it's just people talking?

And also. His podcast just sound like Radio Prep. Just sound like Radio Prep.

And then also plugging Idaho Falls endlessly and not giving a crap about any other city in the region. Well, we talked about those who can do radio do podcasts. Yeah. And they can have like this sort of like not disease, but they have like this mental thing where they're like, I still need to do what I did just not as early in the morning and then yeah, go online and start doing radio breaks. Well, when I talked with Henry and Ed from last podcast on the left, one of the biggest podcasts on the planet, I was talking about radio people with them or podcasters, sorry, that, you know, talk trash about radio and Henry just ripped into him. He's like, that is stupid because, you know, what podcasting is, is an extension of what radio has been doing for decades. Right. Radio walks.

The podcasting could run. Exactly. It's the same thing. He's like that. Those guys that do that, podcasters who rip on radio are idiots.

I'm like, oh, I agree. Well, those people, the last podcast on the left, guys, I'm really wondering how they come up with their stuff just out of the blue. I mean, how do they have that?

How do they pace the show as fast as they do? I know that was one of the things I wanted to talk to him about when I interviewed him, but we just had such a wild conversation. It never got to that point. You know, I did an hour podcast with two of the biggest podcasters in the world. And it was entertaining the entire time. Joe Rogan's very slow paced.

It's a very like stoner-esque conversation. Yeah. With them, it's like, you're on crack.

Oh, yeah, it was wild. I don't know how they could do that, because if I were to try to do that here, I'd be mentally dead every single day. Oh, yeah, dude, it would be exhausting.

But the time Tuesday comes around, I'm like, oh. So, yeah, I don't know. I was just pretty. I was pretty entertained by the anger, the, you know, accusing local news eight of ripping them off, accusing East Idaho News of ripping them off. I'm listening to the content they did. And it was all stuff I talked about on my show the week before. So I'm like, no, you guys are ripping me off. That's where you're getting your content.

From my show. And what's funny is accusing everybody else of ripping you off. Well, I thought it was great. What I thought was awesome was that I was a part of that whole thing that initiated this argument, like I was even worse, like I was insulting left and right, and they only took shots at you.

Yeah. And they're afraid to say my name. Say my name. They don't take shots at me. Come on. I was going to get a button to put on the button bar, but I didn't get around to it.

Maybe I will by noon. But yeah, they were trashing anyone who's won an Idaho's Best Award. Like I think they called out a local restaurant that won an Idaho's Best Award. And they're like, it's just a popularity contest. And so, well, yeah, it's a voting contest where people from around the state vote on it. That's what it is.

Is it popular? Like, and he's like, we're going to do our own awards where we just pick the winners. Oh, good for you. Just because, I mean, obviously, if there was a, you know, best podcast award floating around out there, nobody listens to their show because it sucks. But we we also want awards with no need to take out the someone to lunch, you know, like with the.

I saw Joe Rogan, by the way, talked about how he didn't pay the five hundred dollars to get his podcast nominated for a Golden Globe. He's like, I just don't care about that type of thing. Yeah, yeah.

And but he can say that. It's like the ISPA is we didn't even submit last year. I mean, we've won tons of them before. Like I won one.

Yeah, you won one as well. It's my place. Yeah. So like, who cares? But yeah, he said that, like, no one has ever challenged me on my opinion.

And that you, me. Oh, and I'm like, have you ever looked at my Facebook feed? People challenge me on my opinion all the time.

I challenge you all the time. Yeah, it happens all the time. And that like, oh, you know, just got a handful of people in the neighborhood that listen to the show because he mentioned my national awards. Like that's the music industry picked those.

That's not local people. You know, why are you so mad, dude? Why mad, bro?

Because you're so angry. And I just sat there laughing. I just sat there laughing like, you know, your show's tone is going to, you know, turn people off because you're just being so negative. You want your show to be fun to listen to. Now, I complain. I complain on my show, but I try to throw myself under the bus.

But you also don't put on your best suit jacket and put yourself in front of the camera. Dude. All right, guys, today's show. Old school radio guys, I got to wear a suit to broadcast.

Say, back of my day. Come in, dressed up for the job. He's one step away from getting that microphone tattoo somewhere. Probably has it already. Oh, it's right above his.

School broadcasting mic right above his butt. Tramp stamp. So anyhow, let's play the legal ID and let's tell you about the new giveaway we've got going on. All right, so we've got a new giveaway launching today for all of you metalheads.

You're going to love it, especially if you're an old school meddler. Even as a guy who's not even 30 yet, I do love these bands. Did the headlining band. I've seen them live multiple times and they are excellent. They have some like really crushing songs, too. They don't they don't just stick to do an old school thrash.

They get pretty heavy sometimes. We are talking about the mighty testament coming to the complex in Salt Lake, March 16th, and we are giving away tickets on 316. What?

What? So what we're going to do is starting Monday. We're going to play a three to five second clip of a riff from a testament song. I have all of them all ready to go. You got the riffs ready.

All right, then color 20 just has to guess that song and they win tickets to see testament at the complex in Salt Lake, March 16th. Look at the openers, too. They're not in the notes. Oh, I'm sorry. The openers are overkill.

Oh, nice. And destruction. That is a straight up killer thrash show. It's called Thrash of the Titans Tour. Thrash of the Titans. So, JD, I know you're out there listening.

I know we got a lot of listeners that love that thrash. Testament overkill and destruction. Destruction.

There you go. Destruction has put out some really good music in recent years, too. Honestly, I haven't heard of them. Oh, you should check them out, peaches. You like them.

Because I like overkill. I had a testament and a couple of songs here and there, but. Dude, we need to play some testament. That's what I was thinking, Mike.

You should play some of that new After New album, or maybe you can play some of that old. Who knows? Let me see what we got here.

Because I know we have High Noon that plays on Jank Show Saturday nights 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. off their new album, Parabellum, which, by the way, Consequence, listed as the best album of 2025. Oh, that's right. Was it... I don't remember. Was it Metal Injection? Might have been, because Consequence listed Deaf Heaven's album.

Yeah. Which also, we need to add some of that new Deaf Heaven into the Jank Show library, too, which I do have lined up. I saw Turn Style on a lot of top lists, but anyway, back to testament.

Listen to When, Startin' Monday, and this song I'm going to play, I forgot I even had it in the system. When I went and saw testament live in Minneapolis when I was about 15, my uncle took me to the show. It was Testament, Strapping Young Lad, and somebody else. It was an incredible line up.

That'd be so cool. And I was on crutches at the time. Like, I had injured my leg canoeing. I fell out of the canoe and it tipped over in the water, and the water pushed the canoe down and smashed my leg into all the rocks. Only losers have boating accidents. Oh, wait a minute.

Oh, wait, he just did, too. I tipped my boat over because I filled it with water. So I took my uncle to this show, and this song is how they started the show, and he was angry when we left for me going to this Evil Devil Worship and Band Testament. If you haven't heard this one, it's pretty fun, Peaches. It's called Demonic Refusal, and it's got a great intro, unless you're afraid of evil stuff. So here we go. Listen to in-tickets to Testament Monday. I'm going to get out of here, and Peaches, and I'll be back at noon. Music Thank you again for tuning in to The Victor Wilt Show.
