The Viktor Wilt Show

So do you have any hobbies? Hobbies are good to have. You know, I have a number of hobbies that as of late, I've kinda felt like I'm failing, you know, miserably when it comes to, you know, furthering my ability and productivity in said hobbies. But I did notice last night that I brought back an old one recently. I don't know how productive it is, but I mean it's a hobby.

And so, you know, do I feel guilty about wasting a bunch of time doing this or not even though I mean, you don't generally get anything out of this hobby. You know? It's it's more of a time passer. Alright. Now an optimistic person would hope that this hobby, you know, could lead to something, but, you know, I'm I'm also a realist.

This hobby is, trolling people on social media to a degree. You know, last night, I'm sitting around. I could have been, you know, playing guitar or maybe doing some live streaming since my computer is working again. I've had a lot of people requesting that I get back to live streaming. I was gonna do live streaming on TikTok, you know, start doing more of that on YouTube.

But instead, you know, I got on Facebook and I just start scrolling local news stories. And I, you know, just start getting into arguments with people. Yeah. Yeah. Just for fun.

Now I'm, you know, pretty knowledgeable when it comes to things like politics, you know, pretty well versed. And I also know how to, you know, research properly in the heat of the Bowman. So when I get into these situations where I start arguing with, people on social media, I handle it in a pretty responsible fashion. I don't ever attack people. You know, I don't ever start throwing out, you know, nasty words or calling people names.

I just fire back with facts and, try to pose questions that, you know, should have a simple answer. And, generally, people either don't read the full question or they just ignore it completely and just start yelling at me and calling me names. You know, there's a certain groups that are a little bit feistier than others, And I'll just sit there and just poke the bear. Just slowly, you know, just keep throwing, you know, little fact jabs, reminding them, hey. You didn't answer my question.

Pointing out the errors in their logic. And if you do this for long enough, inevitably, without question, always, most of these people will just go full blown crazy, and they just spout off like insane conspiratorial nonsense. It always ends this way. And then once I've got them to that point that they're just dumping pure chaos that there's no way to respond to it because it's just basically a meltdown, then I just stop and move on to, you know, some somebody else. Again, is it a productive hobby?

I don't know. But, you know, there's worse worse things you could do with your time. Right? And you always hope, like, maybe there's a little nugget that ends up floating around in their brain that they can't get rid of. Like, wait a minute.

And what if that YouTuber I watch, you know, doesn't actually know everything? What if there are other perspectives? What if, you know, I need to check multiple news sources? How did I not get this information before? Again, I don't know if it's a good way to pass the time, but I swear to, everybody who's been requesting I return to hobbies like, hey.

You guys ever gonna play a show again? You're not you ever gonna do a twitch stream again? Yeah. I will. I will.

But right now there's just so much going on that, people are so so crazy about. These targets to troll are just they're just there. Just staring at me and sometimes I I just can't help myself. So, yeah. That was my evening.

Hey. My house is clean. Alright. Well, it could be cleaner. Maybe this weekend.

Maybe this weekend. You know? Because I got a lot going on this weekend. Gonna be hanging out at the Idaho Falls Farmers Market, for example. I will be there from, we changed it up yesterday.

I'll be there from eleven to two now. K? I know I've been saying nine to noon all week, but, you know, I had a request from Katie Lee to go ahead and, do the old switcheroo of the shifts. So eleven to two it is. I will be hanging out at the Idaho Falls Farmers Market gathering food for the little kitties and doggies, all of the animals at local shelters, you know, doing what we can to gather gather food that is needed for pets, at our local shelters.

So if you've got anything you could bring, that would be awesome. I've got a bag of stuff I'm gonna bring over, and then, we'll get that stuff drop dropped off to a local animal shelter, help them out a bit. And, yeah like Bob Barker said you remember the price is right I don't know some of you I I don't know how old you are don't forget to spay and neuter your pets okay let's try to control the pet population lots of animals up for adoption right now. Get yourself a friend. I'm telling you if I didn't have my cats around there might be some days where I just have a complete mental breakdown.

You gotta have somebody to talk to especially if you live alone and just get lonely. Oh geez. No, my my cats might have driven me completely insane this morning. Koopa's gotten into this habit in the last two days of starting to yell at 3AM and then when I won't get up and let him outside he comes and bites me. He will not just lay back down and be patient.

He bites me. Still like him though. Alright. Anyway, farmer's market, Saturday morning, Idaho Falls Memorial Drive. It'll be lots of fun.

It should be a really nice day. Wear some sunscreen. That's one thing I always tend to forget to do out there, and then I'm like, why is my skull bright red and painful? Yeah. I hope to see you there.

It'd be great. Are you up getting ready for work or school or something? Right at this moment, it's 06:42AM. Why don't you take a shower? Why don't you clean up your act?

Hygiene is important. I was reading a post online, and I'm like, wow. I can't believe somebody would just, sit around and put up with it for that long. But, I guess some of you ladies very patient with dirty dudes. Like guys, come on.

I'm telling you, the ladies are gonna like it better. Be a shower once in a while or wash your hair. Okay. So this post is my boyfriend doesn't wash or rinse his hair. How do I talk to him about it?

His whole life, he rarely used shampoo and conditioner, only water, which he says was totally fine. He looked and smelled clean. Okay. But a year and a half ago, he started using hair fibers for thinning. K.

I gotta figure out what this is. I'm a bald guy. You know, I'd love to grow my hair back out, but I ain't gonna dump money into some kind of a medication to do it or, you know, I I don't have enough money as it is. Alright? I mean, I get my bills paid.

I have food, but I ain't got money for whatever it takes to, you know, grow the hair back. What? Rogaine or hems or whatever. Hair building fibers. Now this is something I've I've never heard of.

Is this like, let's see. They cling to your hair, filling in thin or thinning areas. You can get a jar of them for about $35. It, you know, it's the one I saw. So I'm just going with a random number here.

$35. Okay. There's a picture of somebody who has used these hair fibers. You gotta pick your hair color and okay. I guess it's just a temporary thing, right, to, make your hair look at least 10 times fuller with a bunch of crap on your head.

No offense to anybody who uses it. You know, I always try to encourage people. Just shave your head. Yeah. It's easy.

You you know, the guy who didn't use the shampoo and conditioner in this story? Yay. You can just, you know, use some, regular old, you know, some kind of soap or something. Yeah. Save money on shampoo and conditioner.

Shave your head. Save money on haircuts because you can do it yourself. Okay. So that's what hair fibers are. And she says, since then, he also stopped rinsing his hair as often.

I had one very gentle and respectful talk with him about his hair is looking dirty with the fibers several months back. Inspired by me seeing buildup on his scalp in the shower, and I asked him if he could please wash it. Yeah. Bro, wash your head, fool. You're looking nasty.

So then she, says he insists that I don't talk about his hygiene because he knows his body best, so I hold my tongue, but I'm kinda sicked out at this point. The fibers were already getting on everything. I can't have any light colored pillows or share hats. Now okay. I guess sharing hats isn't that weird.

But if you have your dirty hair and all these fibers all over the place, Sure. You're not gonna wanna wear that hat. And now he's just adding more and more fibers every day. This guy will not wash his hair and he just keeps just pouring fibers on his head. She says it looks dirty.

And then he works out at the gym and mountain bikes frequently so he gets all dirty and sweaty. And then he'll shower and just still not rinse his hair. Just pile on more more of these hair fibers. Is this something I have to give up on or how can I talk to him about changing his habits? This one's he like bro, if you don't wash your hair, I'm done.

Alright? Wash your hair. I I would think, you know, keep yourself clean is a reasonable request in a relationship. If, you know, if my lady was like, bro, you stink. Your your hair fibers are all over the place.

You know, you're you're a mess. Will you please rinse your hair? I'd, you know, be embarrassed and then go yeah. Sorry. That guy needs to shave his head.

K? If you're going to this degree to keep the hair looking thick to where it's all like just greasy and piled up and there's just fibers all over your house you need to shave your head bro that's what our conversation should be here I'm actually leave a comment here tell him to shave his head. The end. Okay. I'll leave that comment.

Yeah, bros. You don't need to be buying hair fibers. Come on. I'm telling you if, you know, if I can manage to pick up a lady, anyone can. K?

Shave your head and work on that personality a little bit. Okay? I'm no, looker if you've ever seen me before. You know? Rocking that dad bod.

Bald. Getting old. But I don't have hair fibers all over like all over the place. K? Keep things nice and tidy and, a nice shower, you know, every morning at the least to keep myself, you know, in decent shape.

Hanger fibers? Bizarre. Should we talk about gross stuff this early? Why not? I came across a thread asking about the worst things people had ever smelled.

I haven't looked through this because, you know, somebody's gonna talk about dead bodies or something. But I do know the two worst things I've ever smelled or at least I think I know the two worst things I've ever smelled. And the very one that is listed here, the reason I decided, okay, we could talk about this is because one of my worst smells was similar to this. They said a trash bin full of rotten chicken baking in the blistering Texas summer sun with a soup con of dirty diapers from a sick toddler swirled in. Okay.

Many, many moons ago because I'm old, I decided one day to thaw a turkey. All right. You may have heard this story if you're a long time listener because it was traumatic for me. The way I decided to do this is I had a cooler at the time that was one you could plug in so you didn't have to fill it up with ice. It was a really great cooler.

Now Jade has claimed that I just plugged the cooler in wrong and there were multiple ways to plug it in one of which would turn it in turn it into a warmer. I am gonna stand by. I knew what I was doing, and the cooler just broke. K? Now you should thaw a turkey in a refrigerator, not a cooler, but it essentially worked as a refrigerator.

So I was like, this will be fine. And you know how many days it takes to thaw a turkey. Right? Many, many days. So I put it in the cooler in the garage.

It was summertime, and I just left it. You know, for a few days, I come home from work one day. I walk into my house, you know, not even into my garage, but I walk into my house, and it smells bad, like a bad smell. I'm like, what is that? What could that possibly be?

So I'm walking around the house, you know. Where is it? Where's that smell coming from? Get to that garage door. And I'm like, oh, no.

It's coming from the garage. Like, is there a dead animal in there or something? I mean, technically, there was. It was a turkey in a cooler. So I go out there and I open up the cooler.

Oh. And this thing, you know, it had some pressure built up in it. You know, it had been sitting there for days, and it was not cooling anything. K? It was hot inside of that cooler, and I got blasted in the face with this slow cooked at, like, I don't know, a 100 degrees or so.

Horrific. I all I can describe it is, you know, just dead turkey smell. And it was like steam to my face and I mean I've got a good stomach I don't throw up very often you know usually I've had to make very bad personal decisions to get to the point that I'm you know puking. I don't think I puked from this but it was so horrific you know I dragged the cooler out to the curb. This was back when the garbage people would just pick up stuff and throw it in before you know Idaho Falls had the the garbage cans that you keep at your house and I dragged it out to the curb and I just left it Like garbage man's gonna pick it up and it was not garbage day.

Okay? You could be on my street and smell this cooler and the main problem was it disrupted my sense of smell for days and days to where it was like I had superman sense of smell I walked by the fridge at work and I could smell all of the food inside of it at once and it was horrifying. It made everything smell so bad. I thought I was gonna be that way forever. Forever it was maddening Yeah, you would not believe what rotten meat baking in this well I don't know I've I have seen some complaints about meat factories online Oh.

But getting blasted in the face. Like, you don't know what it's like to be able to smell the contents of a fridge. All is one big smorgasbord without even opening the door. Like, I couldn't go near a refrigerator. I couldn't go near anywhere where there was food.

Fresh like fruits and veggies. Oh, they smelled so bad. It eventually did clear up thankfully. And I'm sorry again to my neighbors because I like I said, you could smell that cooler from down the road and I'm sorry to the garbage people who took it away too but the other worst smell I've ever smelled was, surstromming. Now surstromming is fermented fish in a can, and Jade sent me this disgusting video the other day where I don't remember what these are called, but it's a it's a giant plastic ball that you can inflate and get inside of.

You've seen these, right? And people will roll around, you know, roll down a hill or whatever. These guys all crammed into one of these, you know, giant plastic balls, inflated it, and opened a can of surstromming inside. And then they started rolling around with the surstromming flying all over the place. Okay.

Jade, Brad, and I went through a phase where we were eating disgusting things on the noon hour. One of the things that a listener recommended was surstromming. We opened this can out back and we opened it in a bucket of water because we read that was what you had to do. The smell of that surstromming it smelled like you know the black tank of a camper. I don't know if any of you have a camper and you've ever not cleaned it out properly after a camping trip.

You know, you really gotta clean your black tank good or your whole camper's just gonna reek of sewage. It's so disgusting. That's what Sir Straubing smells like. We we did actually eat a little piece of it and it was the most horrific thing I I think I've ever eaten. It it was horrible.

So these guys inside of this plastic ball rolling around with the surstromming all over then they start throwing up. Okay. I don't want to get too graphic here but I just cannot imagine because we took that can and if you've ever been to the studio way down the parking lot there are a couple dumpsters. We put it in a bag and we went and threw it in there. It was just like the the turkey cooler thing.

You could smell that surstromming like all the way down at our front door of the building. And it was another thing that just screwed up my sense of smell and amplified things so I could smell again the contents of a fridge without opening it. Don't ever try sir strumming. K. Sometimes you know how many video views did we get out of that?

Not enough. Not enough. Well, I didn't even get into some of the other, worst smells that people have smelled. Okay. Yeah.

I knew people would say dead bodies. I mean, dead animals don't smell good. Or dead people. Dead anything you know back to that turkey maybe I don't want to read through this because I know I'm alright we got hoarder stories in here people with too many pets 14 cats Never threw away the litter. Stacked the old litter in a bedroom, and the whole bedroom was maybe three feet high of used cat litter.

Alright. As a cat guy, I worked very hard to try to keep my house smelling good because cats will make your house, you know, you've got boxes of crap in your house. So you've gotta keep them clean or it's not gonna smell good. And like, you know when I had people over last weekend for my birthday at one point I'm like oh if you guys want to go play pool I could you know get get the lights on set up a pool table. I was so afraid that like okay did I like clean the cat box today?

Yeah. Is everybody gonna go in my basement and it just smells terrible? You know I mean I think people with pets are used to pet odors but it's still you know something I'm self conscious about. I I don't want people to be disgusted by my home. Peaches said it smelled fine.

So that but you never know. You never know what Peaches word. Three feet of used cat litter. Oh, and this guy was a chain smoker and threw all his used cigarette butts in the closet for decades. Just burn it to the ground.

Just burn it to the re you can't clean up a house like that. Yeah. You know, try to only have a responsible number of pets. K? I might come back to this thread just because gross stuff makes me laugh for some reason.

I don't know. I'm weird. It's like when I talked about cheering, for horror movies and laughing at the death scenes yesterday. It it's just how I am. I don't know.

Makes me laugh. Alright. I'll be back in a minute. Hang on. People post weird questions online.

Just read one. Why do some people wear black all the time? Personal taste? But what kind of question is this and what answer is there to that question? Why do you wear the clothes you do?

I don't know I like them Maybe it's comfort maybe I don't know you feel weird in a a bright colored t shirt I don't know I do feel like I get a little wild if I throw on like a tie dye or something like woah look at this we're getting crazy today you got the tie dye going on look at the color You know, white t shirts. I I just can't stand it. I I don't know if it's the bright, you know, just white out of the corner of my eye. I gotta see why people say some people wear black often because I I know my answer to it but we'll get to that in a minute alright it's inoffensive slimming well in offensive it depends what t shirts you're wearing k Now I don't have many offensive t shirts anymore. Like a good dad, I gave them to my children so that they can irritate people in Phoenix and in, Bellingham, Washington.

Yeah. Sometimes you gotta do the right thing and pass those things on. Yeah. I'm I'm a little too old, I think, to be walking around in some of the t shirts I used to wear that I just wore because they were so crazy offensive and would make people mad. It it was fun.

It was fun. You know, you'd see people just kinda glaring at you and be like, yeah. Cool shirt, I know. You can read it from all the way over there. Okay.

It's inoffensive slimming professional. You know, maybe not the black clothes I wear. Doesn't show stains as easily and goes with pretty much anything. Oh, okay. That's a very, practical approach to why somebody would wear black all the time.

A lot of people apparently got some, sweat problems. Black shirts don't show pit sweat. Maybe that would be a problem for me if I wasn't so lazy. Yeah. Not about to go for a jog this morning.

Too tired for that. If you wake up at the time of day I do and you're out jogging, I don't know. I don't know. I saw a pack of kids just running down the road this morning. Yeah.

On my way to work, I'm like, what are you what are you kids doing? You know, they they looked like they were, late teens, something like that. Guys, let's go have some fun. I know what we should do. We should wake up at 5AM, and let's go jogging.

People are very different than me. Alright. So alright. If if you have a problem with pit sweat, yeah, I guess black shirt might be up your alley. It goes with some with almost anything so it can make building outfits a lot easier.

Okay. Here's how I build an outfit. Alright. It's hot out. Shorts.

Now for the shirt, one of 10,000,000 black t shirts. If you ever saw the inside of my closet, it's just this wall of black with a a few, you know, like I said, tie dyed sprinkled in. Probably some white t shirts that I hung on to for I don't even know what reason. I don't actually, I don't know if I have any white t shirts. Not anymore.

See, black goes with everything. You don't have to sort your clothes when doing no. I guess. If all of your socks are the same, it's slimming. Now where's the answer that I would give?

I haven't seen anybody say this so black's totally metal you know that's why it's cool look at look at me look how metal I actually I'm currently wearing a black t shirt with a cat playing guitar on it. I'm still metal. Alright? If you don't believe me, you can watch my, Pantera karaoke video. I still got it in me.

K? I can still work my way to the front of a crowd. Sometimes people, you know, get a little upset, but I can still do it. K? I can hold my own in a pit, sort of.

I might get knocked down, and it might hurt myself, but, you know, it's I've still recently gotten into a mosh pit. I probably shouldn't at my age, but it was at a poppy show. I couldn't help myself. I was having a lot of fun. Nobody in here in in this thread has said anything about black being, like, just, you know, totally metal, and that's why you should wear it all the time.

Yeah. I don't know. I just like it. I just like it. Maybe one of these days, I'll throw off everyone at work and show up in a white t shirt.

I'll be uncomfortable, but, you know, it's fun. Alright. This guy is a moron. I mean, as is typical of this feature, you know, a lot of morons on freak news. Anyway, let's dive in.

This guy, he's a felon, and he wanted to buy a gun. Now if you're a felon, you can't buy a gun. Sorry. You lost that right. So I don't know if he started feeling bad about it, but he turned himself in.

You know, sent in a report. Hey. I'm aware of a felon who tried to purchase a firearm. It was me. So then they went to track him down, managed to find him out driving, and he was, of course, hammered at the same time.

There's just some stories that make you feel a little bit better about yourself. Right? No. Sometimes I feel like a mess. Not doing too bad.

Not doing too bad. Not out engaging in crime and then turning myself in for it. I mean, it's it's good that he felt a little bit guilty. You know? He he did the right thing.

Give him a nice pat on the back. Okay. Twix ad banned for encouraging unsafe driving. What do we got going on here? We got a guy with flowing hair according to the article.

Oh good for you buddy. I used to have flowing hair. Okay sorry. I don't mind the shaved head. Every once in a while I'll see you know somebody who's got some nice hair and I'm like man I miss my long hair.

But it never looked as good as that anyway, so screw it. I should have shaved it a long time ago. Okay. So they have five complaints about this advertisement. Shows a guy involved in a car chase and crash that results in his and an identical, caramel colored car sandwiched on top of each other.

Okay. So basically, they make a Twix bar out of a car accident, and they say it condones unsafe driving. Now he is, eating behind the wheel, which as we know, that's distracted driving. And if you mow into somebody and even, you know, if you make a twix sandwich out of your vehicles, Somebody calling my homies at the advocate's injury attorneys. Mhmm.

Alright. Twix sounds kinda good. I don't know. I have, like, this pie that's been sitting at my house since my birthday and it it's it's one of my favorite kind of pies. It's a Perkins peanut butter like silk pie.

I don't know what my problem is but I just have no appetite. What what is going on here? We got a bag full of Japanese candy here in the studio. It does not sound appealing at all. I'm not complaining because I do need to slim it down a bit.

But, anyway, Twix does sound kinda good. Alright. What else do we have here? It's kind of a rough day for freak news. Alright.

In a report from a protest in Los Angeles, CNN letting everybody know we can smell weed in the air. K. Yep. Have you ever been to Los Angeles? Have you ever been to any big city where pot is legal?

It doesn't matter if there was a protest. This is not news. K? I've been to LA. You're gonna smell some weed.

You go to New York City where, you know, all the streets are kinda confined by these giant skyscrapers. Yeah. That stench just gets kinda trapped in there like an inversion. Why was that, worth writing an article about? Note.

You ever been to Portland downtown? I couldn't believe it. Okay. What else do we have here? Oh a man stabbed another man with a machete no we've got we've got some you know good criminals in the news today we had the guy who turned himself in for trying to buy a gun when he was a felon Now this guy, he stabbed another man with a machete, but then he drove him to the hospital.

You know? So how much does that even things out? Like, oh, okay, bro. You were injured. I took you in.

Yeah. But, dude, you stabbed me with the machete. Yeah. But I saved your life. This was, apparently outside of a Circle k in Florida, some kind of verbal altercation at about 5PM.

And, yeah I mean he ended up being okay the the one guy the machete guy obviously in jail there was another article I saw recently where machetes were banned somewhere I I just wonder who's packing a machete everywhere they go Maybe if you live in Florida, you kinda need to, but it's like and I know this can make people mad around here, but, you know, packing a machete around town, it's like the guys I see that are, open carrying, you know, got the, and I I like, you know, the wild west. You know how much I enjoy red dead redemption. Alright. So playing cowboy is fun, but I don't know. If you were in a situation where, say, somebody walked into a business and they're eyeing the situation, you know, they're they're gonna rob the place or something, who is the person they're gonna go for?

The person with the the open carry pistol I mean if you're if you really feel like you need to pack a gun with you everywhere you go you if you live in Idaho you don't even have to have a permit to conceal it you know it seems like it would be way more effective to you know get get a holster and like hide it you know so you know the the threat doesn't know that you might be able to take them out just saying but machete that's that's just weird I don't know That's a gigantic knife. I mean as far as knives go knives they're the machete is pretty fun. It's it's basically a sword. I just don't know why you'd need to pack it with you wherever you go. Okay.

Let's do. Oh, it's already 08:05. How did that happen? Okay. I'll save this disgusting story about this, woman who had a, a drug problem for the next break.

K? You know, it'll it'll be a little bit of a PSA that you're probably not gonna want, but that's how this program works. Sometimes the content's not for everybody. It's not that bad. It's not like I'm actually gonna show you the video because I can't.

This is radio, and I'm not currently streaming live online. And even then, I don't think the bosses would would want me to. So we'll get into that in a minute. I'm pretty sure that's the most romantic song of all time. So and I hope it, brightened up your day.

Alright. To dive into this story. You know, if you're suffering from addiction problems, there is help out there. K? You're, dealing with substance abuse issues.

Make the call. Get some help. You don't wanna end up like this woman, but she's doing her best to try to get the word out and, you know, help prevent things like what happened to her. Mom wants everyone to see horrific video of her setting herself on fire after drugs binge. K.

Well, she might want everyone to see it but it doesn't mean that everybody else wants to. Okay. I mean, just ask yourself that question. You know, it's about 08:13AM. Do I wanna watch someone light themselves on fire right now?

My answer personally was no. So even if this news article links said video, I I don't think I'm gonna watch it because, yeah, it just seems kinda unpleasant at this hour. That's more of an afternoon kind of news story. Right? Alright.

So this story's a mess. Alright. You know, it goes through, you know, the, years of her addiction problems starting when she was a teenager, you know, and she started off drinking. You know? Then the drinking gets worse as she gets older.

Next thing you know, she's binging crack and heroin. And, apparently, she ended up in such a state that she set herself on fire while laying in bed during an argument with an ex boyfriend who sat there with his friends laughing at her, because they thought it was funny. K. For one, if your friends are laughing at you, you know, during any bad stretch of, an addiction problem, those friends are probably pretty lousy. Kick them to the curb.

Get some people who are supportive in your life. Alright? You know, if you're having a bad day and your friends are laughing at you, they're dirt bags. So anyway, she has video footage of it. I'm assuming the friends filmed it because, again, they said they thought it was funny and she wants everyone to watch this video.

Now I would imagine it could have a preventative, you know, angle to it. You you generally see somebody light themselves on fire while laying in bed. You're gonna go why did this happen? And then and maybe ponder a bit. Okay.

Maybe I'll avoid the, the crack binge in bed. Don't do crack, people. Crack kills. Alright? So where where is she gonna put this video where everyone can watch it?

As far as I know, that would, violate the terms of service of most social platforms that allow video content. I I don't think it would show people being lit on fire on Facebook or, you know, YouTube. So she's gonna have to find a specialty website to get this out to. But maybe we need to just incorporate this into a new anti drug campaign. I've talked about how, you know, they should bring back those just insane anti meth billboards that used to be up all over town.

Those had to be effective. When you see people's skin falling off while you're driving down the road, you know, giant HD, you know, pictures of people, you know, curled up in the corner of a dirty bathroom. They're like, oh, but, you know, bruised and bloody. It it makes you think a little bit. It's gonna get your attention.

You know, there are digital billboards all over the place now. They could just put this video on loop. Don't do crack. Don't do heroin. I mean, you could slap any drug on it.

And if you show someone accidentally, you know, lighting themselves on fire while laying in bed, I think it'll get people's attention, you know, just just looping like that. So maybe this will end up being a good thing, and she's doing some good in the end. But I will let you know she's doing good now. K? You know, she went through her treatment, you know, both, drug treatment and, you know, obviously, a burn treatment.

But she's doing good. And now I I I think she's, working as an advocate to help get people off of substances because, yeah, you don't wanna end up one day, finally, you're in bed and that, you know, those blankets, I would imagine they can go up pretty quick depending on what they're made out of. So just, you know, get yourself some help dealing with drug problem. Or if you really need motivation, you could probably Google and find the video. I'm not gonna share it on her Facebook page.

K? Jade gets iffy on the content. So does Facebook. People burning. Yeah.

I would imagine I'd I'd get at least one complaint. Alright? But hey. You know city of Idaho Falls or you know maybe the state of Idaho. You're looking for a good new billboard campaign?

You'll get complaints but might work. Alright. If you brought some of your own stuff to work, why would you even question if you'd be a jerk for taking it with you when you leave? Right? Some guy was asking about about his coffee maker online.

You know, hey. I work at this place. I've been there, you know, like, five years, and I brought this coffee maker in. And, you know, I'm I'm getting a new job. Am Am I gonna be a total jerk if I take it with me when I leave?

No. It's your stuff, dude. And this is a long post. Alright. You know, I don't I don't care how well you get along with people where you work.

Tell the boss, get a new coffee maker. Jeez. You know? It's just a coffee maker. And, I mean, is it like, you know, your run of the mill Walmart coffee maker, you know, fairly cheap?

Or is it, you know, high class, you know, you got the espresso options and blah blah blah blah blah. You know, I've thought about this before because I have a lot of crap here at work. I've taken some home from time to time. But even so, looking around the studio, for example, I've got a lot of different lights in here, posters, decorations, you know, signed posters that I got signed. I did it.

They're mine. But when you get fired in radio, you you know, they tend to just kinda escort you out and then they'll have somebody, you know, gather up your crap and maybe have you come get it. Do you know how long it would take to gather up my stuff around here? And I know that some of the stuff I think is mine. Other people would be like, no, it isn't.

Like, okay, my awards let me pat myself on my back for all of my many, many awards. I'm sure they'd keep them. They'd be like, nah. You know, that's company property even though it literally has my name on it. No.

We want to keep those so that our shelves look impressive in the conference room. You just gotta, like, sneak them out of here a little bit at a time, but I I do like to keep them on display here so that I look cool. You know? All of those best morning show awards. Speaking of which, is that going on right now?

Haven't heard anything from Jade about this. The Idaho State Broadcasting Association Awards. Now these are awards that, unfortunately, you listeners, my homies, can't help out with. We just get, you know, judgment passed on us by other radio people. The awards program is open.

Entry's open. Oh, jeez. Are we too late to get them in? Hold on. This is important to me because I haven't won any awards in a while and I need to add to my pile.

How long do we got? Let's see here. Oh, they have a new process. Blah blah blah. Just tell me the dates, fools.

Okay. Let's see here. Get your crap in. They don't even say. Well, I'll talk to Jade about this later.

Anyway, teachers, your assignment is, you know, when my day finally comes and Jade's had enough of my crap, sends me send them packing. You gotta gather up all my stuff because I got a lot of cool stuff hanging around here. I you really shouldn't make your your workplace like a home because you're gonna lose some stuff. Anyway, yeah. Dude, just take your coffee maker, bro.

It's not that big a deal. It's just a coffee maker. Alright. Back in a minute. Gonna crack an energy drink to get ready for my mind numbing training with Jade.

And when I, you know, get a little caffeinated sometimes, get a little wound up. Peaches, I don't know if you wanna be in here on this break. Yeah. Because I'm gonna get a little bit political up in here. Okay.

Earlier to start my show, I talked about, you know, a hobby that I've had over time and that's trolling people online. Yeah. Started way back in the day with Jade's band's message board. This is pre Myspace. You know, it was before social media.

His band had message board. I'd go in there and talk about how bad his band sucked and make his fans mad, and it was fun. So every once in a while, you know, I like to just get in arguments with people online. So last night, I was bored, and, I mean, I've made it pretty clear that there are a lot of policies that Idaho legislators have been putting in place that I think are stupid and that, you know, nobody asked for these. They're a waste of time.

There was a post made about this whole thing with Snap benefits and candy and soda. Are you familiar with Snap benefits? Snapchat. K. No.

The Snap benefits essentially, the modern version of, like, food stamps. You know? Gotcha. So what they're doing to try to make people healthy is, not allow people to use their food stamp card to buy specifically candy and soda at the grocery store. This is the most useless and stupid law I've ever seen.

And in my personal opinion, they're only doing it to shame and punish poor people. Now I have been poor in my life. Like, I've lived on ramen. K? Now you're the rich guy.

I am so rich. I'm rich. You wanna see my bank account? It's not looking very good right now. All the zeros in there.

Looking forward to payday here in, a little over a week. Right. But, anyway, I've been poor before, and I have been on food stamps before. K? So I know how the how the system works.

K? Most people on food stamps are working and paying taxes. K. So they're they're putting money into the fund to begin with. But, you know, when you're poor, life sucks.

It's, you know, it's stressful. You're worried about having a roof over your head. So, you know, if you're trying to take care of your family, you're working multiple jobs, every once in a while, like, if you wanna get your kid a treat. Hey. You want a Snickers?

Doesn't seem like that big a deal to me. Now my main problem with this is they're claiming to do it to help make people healthy. Now Peaches, you've been to the grocery store. We can walk through WinCo in our minds. I was just there this morning.

Alright. So you know the layout. You know, right when you walk in, you can immediately find items that are just as bad for you as candy or soda. You know what you can do with your Snap Card if you wanted? You could load up a shopping cart packed to the brim with ice cream and cake, and that's fine.

Just don't touch a Reese's. This is so stupid and aggravating. Well, now it's gonna encourage people who who do have those snap, you know, whatever that thing is. They're gonna just gonna take it, you know? Like, I I would.

You would chop list. Okay. I don't think that people are gonna gonna turn to crime for a candy bar. Who knows? Maybe they'll do they'll treat it like a movie theater.

All of a sudden, there's a big lump in their sleeve. It just made me so that, like, who are you to judge what people are eating? You know? And there's these studies that are like, oh, well, you know, people on food stamps, they spend this percentage on soda. K?

You you, were at my birthday celebration. K? I bought a 12 pack of, Diet Coke. You know how much a 12 pack of name brand soda costs nowadays? Like $7.

$7 is like the cheapest you're gonna find it. Yeah. So imagine you have a $100 in groceries and you bought, say, two twelve packs of soda, which is not very much soda. You know, it's two twelve packs. So you got $15.

That's 15%. K? If you just say out loud, somebody spent 15% of their SNAP benefits on soda. It sounds like a lot, but it's just too measly. It it's an expensive item.

K? So they use these stats to, you know, rile people up into thinking, oh, all this money's getting wasted. But still, walk through the grocery store. K. Children's cereal.

You know what that is? It's basically candy. You know? If you're mowing down Captain Crunch it's just all sugar. And cereal is quite expensive too.

The family size box even that's like $6 now. Yeah. 7. Yeah. But it you know, a lot of those are just straight sugar.

And again, you can buy all the cookies you want. You can buy all the granola bars. You granola bars are candy bars. Chocolate covered granola bars are just candy bars. I would say the whole state of the food the the all the food here kinda, you know, like you go Whole sugar.

Exactly. Bags of chips. Bags of chips. Horrible for you. I I don't think anyone would consider that healthy, you know?

What if you wanna buy nothing but cheese and ground beef and all you eat is cheeseburgers all day every day. Perfectly healthy, Peach. It's just such a hypocritical and stupid law, and it's costing millions I I think millions of dollars from what I read a a month or two ago to implement this because now grocery stores have to, like, redo all of their systems and everything and put all these restrictions in place on a handful of items. Imagine you're at self checkout at WinCo and you you get rejected for buying a Snickers. Excuse me, sir.

You can't have that. Excuse me, sir. You can't have that. That poor Winco worker's gonna get screamed at just for enforcing that policy. No.

I don't think they'll get screamed at. I think the people in line will just feel bad. And, you know, having been on food stamps before, you know, it there's it's like when I was on, free lunch in school when I was a kid. They gave you a different colored ticket. We had little lunch tickets.

And so you had the different colored ticket. They start shaming the less fortunate as early as they can, and you always felt awkward I I remember having the different colored ticket to get your lunch. I remember in elementary school, if you didn't if you got the free lunch, it was like a cheese sandwich, and it was the worst thing you could you could get. Man. Everyone had, like, pizza and stuff, but you had the cheese literally two pieces of bread with a, like, a Kraft single in between.

And that was I thought in California, they just gave everybody everything for free. That's what I read on social media. Oh, sure. Yeah. It's a socialist wasteland.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. So it just as a person who was poor for most of my life, and I'm I'm not rich. Don't call me rich guy, peaches. But as someone who was poor most of my life, I've been through all these different stages where I felt shamed for being poor.

So that particular new piece of legislation that nobody asked for and clearly is not actually about making people healthy. It just made me crazy last night. So I, of course, started, you know, arguing with people on on Facebook about it. And these judgmental people that are one woman was saying, like, why don't you just make your kids Kool Aid and cupcakes? What's the difference?

Kool Aid is non carbonated soda. Have you ever made Kool Aid? Kool Aid is the most sugary drink you could drink. Exactly. It's worse than most sodas.

Yeah. It's straight sugar and flavor. You get a big cup, and I I I looked it up online. I'm like, okay. What's healthier?

Which which is worse for you? Ice cream or candy? And there's all these studies that are like, well, ice cream has blah blah blah, you know, dairy in it and things like that. Maybe you get a little calcium out of it. But they based the studies on a half cup of ice cream.

Yeah. The serving sizes are a complete joke. Who eats a half cup of ice cream? Give me a that is a useless like, you know, when I worked at McDonald's, we would have these little kitty cones we could make. Right.

But, you know, they're they're about this tall. They were, you know, triangular, and you'd fill them up and then have the ice cream stick out the top. I bet that was pretty close to a half cup. The kitty cone that you we sold for, like, 10¢ or something at the time. It was a long time ago.

But, somebody wanna talk about it? You you wanna talk? I'll talk. It just makes me mad, dude, as someone who's been in these shoes. K Bear, you're live on the show.

Keep that in mind. Who's this? This is Kaveman. How's it going? Kaveman.

Doing pretty good. What's up? Oh, just wondering if you'll play some raining blood. Sure. It's off topic and probably good that it is, but, yeah, I'll play some swim slayer.

Let's play I want candy. Ice cream, sugar, all that sugar is poison to the human body. And if you guys eat it, you're poisoning yourselves. Well, ice cream is perfectly okay according to the, state government. You know?

Just don't touch a Yeah. I know. Don't have a don't have a Coca Cola. You know? How dare you have a Coca Cola that that eats battery acid.

Okay. Don't have a Sprite. You know? How dare you have a root beer? What you need to do is go pick yourself up some of that, Yo plate yogurt that's also just sugar.

Just a flat out sugar. You know what you do is you go up into the mountains. You pick you some mole, and you make you a mole and tea. You don't drink? Honey in it, which is a 100% natural and good for you, and you'll live a lot longer.

Boy, that's a lot of effort. I I think I'll just get myself a well, actually, Snapple probably, you know, packed with sugar. Packed to the bird. It's delicious. It is.

It's everything that they put on the shelves is poison to us. Maybe I can just go to Yellowstone and start spear hunting the bison. Peaches? I don't know, man. You know You're about as big as a bison, so it'd be a rough ride.

But Hey. You know, I'll get you go get you Matthew's bow from Pocatello Archery and, go slay one. Peaches, you should take up bow hunting. Oh, dude. It's sweet, man.

It's it's it's adrenaline. I'm just gonna go with the giant the giant wood stick with a pointy end. It's not running after a bison. You know? Hey.

There's, check out the Slockmaster on YouTube. The guy is bad. The Slockmaster. Alright. Yes, sir.

I'll look into it for sure, man. Like, you you think you're you think you know anybody that's really cool? No. You don't know anybody that's cool until you meet, see that guy. But I see myself in the mirror every day.

I don't know. I feel like if I were to go to a party and I meet some guy and he calls himself the Slockmaster I'd I'd wonder what his hobbies are. That's for sure. What does that mean? Killing killing bears, killing animals with a spear.

That's slocking. Oh, that's slocking, Okay. Well Mhmm. Yeah. I think I'll just, you know, hit the ground bison section at Winco while I'm picking up my ice cream.

You're right. Right. Well, well, good to hear from you, man. I hope you have a good day. Hey.

You as well. Yes. Put the last layer on, and that'll be a great day. Hey. You got it, man.

Peace. Hey, later. So, yeah, anybody out there, if, you know, you're now no longer allowed to get your kids a treat, you know, and they're they love Snickers. There are Snickers ice cream bars. They are perfectly acceptable And there are under these same regulations.

There are Snickers protein bars as well, which are the exact same thing as the regular Snickers. I wonder if that count. Yeah. What's a protein bar? Yeah?

Full of Is that a candy bar? It's sure packed with it's just that word glorified candy bars. Well, totally. That's why the whole thing is so stupid and hypocritical. And I just wanna point these things out with, you know, next year, we have elections.

So just remember all of these stupid, pointless things that they're wasting our taxpayer dollar on that literally don't do any good and are the the meaning behind it is just I had a word for it that's inappropriate for the radio peaches. Just That's twice now you've been almost trying to cuss on the air. I know. Stop picking on poor people. K?

It's rough. I guarantee all the people who are putting these laws in place, you know, born with a silver spoon. They they ain't never been poor. They don't know what it's like. You know?

So stop it. Do better. That's what do better. That's my polite way of putting it. It made me so mad.

Stop. Stop that. It's not nice. Go Jira on the Victor Wilt program. How you doing?

Thanks for putting up with a little bit of my ranting and raving. Got it out of my system. K? Alright. Let's dive into this list of things that people think are real but are completely fictional.

This this could be interesting because I know every once in a while, I might stumble across something. I'm like, what? That's not real? You know, it's always good to know, well, things you may have been misinformed about. All right.

I think nobody believes this, that an undercover cop has to tell you a cop if you ask. I'm gonna have to ask Lieutenant Crane about that tomorrow on, traffic school powered by the advocates. Because I know he worked as an undercover cop at one point. You know, we're like, how many times did you have people ask, are you a cop? And then they say no, and they're like, alright.

Because, yeah, you know, they they have to tell you. How would it possibly work to be an undercover cop if that's all it took to foil everything? You know? Come on. I mean, you see that movies back in the day, but I don't think anybody really believes that.

Alright. Let's see here. What else do we have? Sherlock Holmes. I went to the Sherlock Holmes Museum a while ago, and I'd say about 80% of the tourists in there were under the impression he was a real person.

Well, in that situation, you can't blame them. They have a museum. I mean, I guess there are museums for all kinds of crazy things. Yeah. Like, I wanna go to Zach Bagans haunted museum.

Well, you know, that's like that gray line where who knows? Maybe that chair is haunted. I don't know. But I mean, I knew Sherlock Holmes was just a character in a story, but if you have a full museum dedicated to Sherlock Holmes, that that could be confusing for people. Okay.

We've talked about this on traffic school, sovereign citizen stuff. Like, all all you gotta do is be like, sorry. I will not show you my ID officer. I don't have to have a driver's license. I don't need to have plates on my car.

I don't need to pay my taxes. I'm a sovereign citizen. Yeah. You're gonna go to jail. K?

That that's how that ends every single time. But But there are YouTube videos and pages where people, you know, they throw this stuff out there and people will buy into it. Yeah. You you can't just do whatever you want. Sorry.

There are laws and rules and regulations and, you know, even if they're stupid, you know, you gotta obey them. I'm not saying the driver's license, you know, just getting back to, some of the new laws that have been being implemented. You can't use the sovereign citizen defense because you wanna keep your truck nuts on your pickup. I'm sorry. Your truck nuts are just too vile for the community.

You gotta get rid of them immediately. I cannot wait, Steve. People start getting pulled over for that. Oh, and, you know, just the post that'll start popping up in the Life in Idaho Falls Facebook group. What can you believe this?

Well, you voted for these people. K? Alright. What else do we have here? That you need to wait twenty four hours before you're allowed to report someone is missing.

Yeah. Yeah. No. If if someone's missing, report that immediately. K?

Don't wait. You need to get the authorities working on these things immediately. K? If you you know, if someone like, your kid wanders off, call that in immediately. Don't wait.

Sorry. I gotta wait till tomorrow. I hope people don't believe that anymore. Alright. What else do we have in here?

I haven't learned anything new yet myself. Eating carrots improves eyesight. Now, I mean, carrots, I would assume, have some good vitamins in them and stuff, but I do remember hearing that. I do remember hearing that carrots improve eyesight, but I just assume, you know well, actually, I think you need surgery or glasses to improve eyesight. I I don't think eating any kind of food, that's just kinda common sense.

Otherwise, everybody would have perfect eyesight. They'd just eat carrots all day and be like, yeah, here we go. I'm fixed. The glasses industry destroyed by carrots. Alright.

What else do we have here? That you only use 10% of your brain. Yeah. No. We we we use, it all.

This person, I think we only use 10% of our hearts. Okay. I I seem to have skipped over one because there was one I wanted to say something about. Where did it go? I don't know.

Let's just keep going here. Still trying to learn something new. No. Really? Okay.

This one I'm iffy on, like, bringing up, but this one is kind of surprising. I I assumed hold on. I'm gonna Google this before I talk about it. Okay. Interesting.

Alright. They were talking about the holy grail. You know, the, the dish plate or cup that was used during the last supper. I guess they never even mentioned that in the bible. What?

I guess it is a, medieval European legend that came long after that that's weird. I thought for sure that was mentioned in the bible. Okay. Well, I I guess I did learn something new. That's that's weird.

Alright. I just remembered a funny one that I was taught in elementary school. Like, you remember the DARE program. Right? You know, they come in, and it it it I don't know how it works anymore, but it was weird even when I was in school because they bring in this giant case that's, like, packed to the brim with all these drugs.

And they show them to kids, and they're like, you know, look at this. This is what it does to you. Blah blah blah. But I remember being told in school that, you know, smoking pot will make guys grow breasts, which that might get you in trouble with that truck nuts law nowadays too, but that yeah. I don't think that was true either.

I mean, you know, look at the pictures of a just bring up pictures of hippies from Woodstock. Alright? I don't see a lot of, you know, skinny dudes, you know, packing a rack. K. It should be common sense as well.

Alright. What else do we have here for things that are completely fictional but are not? Okay. They mentioned the moon landing. Not very many people think the moon landing was faked.

You you you can't say that lots of people believe that. There there are some but there's people that believe the world's flat. So let's see. Gum stays in your stomach for seven years. That's like you know oh if you eat a watermelon seed watermelon's just gonna burst right out of you.

Wouldn't that be amazing if it if you did eat seeds and the plants grew inside of you and just burst through your stomach? Be kinda wild. You know? It's a decent concept for a a YouTube short or something if you wanna make something really gross. Alright.

The AI pictures that our boomer parents like to share on Facebook. Yeah. By the way, those aren't real. K? Again, Jelly Roll did not open a $20,000,000, dog paradise.

K. Nor did m and m. Alright? Elon Musk did not run into a burning building and save 20 babies. K.

Just because you see a semi realistic looking photo, you you gotta look these things up. Alright. Let's see here. I'm not gonna get into astrology. We talked about chemtrails recently because funny enough talking about states implementing stupid laws.

I think it was Louisiana banned chemtrails. I guess just, you know, get rid of airports. You can no longer fly in or out of Louis what are people in that state gonna do when they still see the condensation trails in the sky? Are they gonna lose their minds? They're not gonna go away.

You can't ban them. It it's it's a natural occurrence. Alright. Alright. Now we're starting to get down into stuff that, people might call and yell at me about if I get into.

So, yeah, we'll we'll skip on that. But maybe you learned something new today. I learned one new thing. And if I can learn one new thing a day, that ain't too bad. Okay.

You may have recently heard me complain about driving down Woodruff in Idaho Falls or just pretty much driving around anywhere in Idaho Falls right now because, apparently, every single road in town is under construction. Looks like it might be getting worse on Woodruff right now because, somebody posted in the life in Idaho Falls group a video of themselves at the, stoplight at in Woodruff. I know this intersection well because I drive through it every day. A dump truck comes barreling through the intersection. Okay.

I shouldn't say barreling through. They're just driving through. But they have the, you know, the back of the dump truck lifted up all the way. And as they go through the intersection, just smashes into the stop lights. So, I have a feeling that the intersection of First And Woodruff is one to avoid right now.

Just wanted to give everybody the heads up as if that area could not get to be more aggravating. Because First is all tore up too. I tried to find alternate routes to get home yesterday, and, there's just no winning if you need to get into that area of town. I want everybody to get off homes around 5PM. They're the way for the peaches from K Bear.

Okay. Thank you. And then also, can all funeral processions please stop on Sunnyside? I'm so sick and tired of these, like, these hearses driving with a 20 car brigade. At 5PM?

No. On Sunnyside, during my lunch break yesterday. Break. Okay. There was, like, you know, I'm the light's green and then this, like, angry cop on a motorcycle, which, by the way, nobody looks tough on those motorcycles.

Oh, Pete, you better settle down. No. But I'm just saying, like, you know, they're like a big you know, it's they're not the the tough looking motorcycles. They don't they look kinda like glorified mopeds. And this this cop was just giving me the glare, like, you better not go through this intersection.

I mean, I'm sure the cops enough. I'm sure they'd prefer drive Harleys. You know? Yeah. I'm sure.

But, you know, for whatever maybe that makes too much racket or something. They can't sneak up on people with their sneaky ways. A a cop trying to chase you in a Harley with his hands way up high The chopper? The chopper. Yeah.

No. I think, you know, they like to be sneaky, them cops. You know? I deal with one every Friday morning at 03:45. But then why why make it obvious, like, hey.

I'm a cop on a motorcycle? Dude, they could come up on you quick. Back when I was a kid, you know, we had bicycle police all over Pocatello. Right? Pedaline deer criminal.

Yeah. I'd say it. I'm pulling this guy over. That's right. Yeah.

You know, they'd be rolling up there. You know, kids would go outside. I I hate to break it to people another part of reality, but sometimes kids will, like, smoke at you know, when they're not old enough to. And so the bike cops would roll into those areas at school, you know, and just be a bam bam bam bam bam. Apparently All busted.

The company, Juul, is paying, like, millions of dollars to install those anti vape detectors, in schools and bathrooms. A vape detector? Yeah. Yeah. Because they're I guess kids are now you know, they're those those kids these days, they're vaping.

You know, it back in the day, Peaches, kids didn't ever do anything wrong. They did crack. They got what? Settle down. So, anyway, everybody, yeah, you might wanna as of right now, because that video was posted, like, two minutes ago, avoid the intersection of First Woodruff because That poor driver, I gotta say, you know, I I I would be embarrassed.

Well, yeah, that you know, this is the day and age we're in. Somebody's always filming. This is clearly a, a dash cam. You know that, if Carolina Roslyn sees this video, she's gonna be so mad that it wasn't her video. Shout out Carolina too.

Alright. Back to a little bit of music here. Sure. That's fine. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show.
