The Viktor Wilt Show

What is up? It's Viktor Wilt. Good morning and a glorious Thursday to you. Man, things you never think you're gonna read about Utah. This must have been absolutely frightening for the average Utah skier to see.

On a recent appearance on the Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast, Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers was talking about his wild rock and roll lifestyle. And, he was talking with Woody Harrelson, asked him if he remembered the time the 2 of them went snowboarding in Utah. And I don't know if you've seen random videos of Flea live, but he has been known to take all of his clothes off on stage before and, you know, just cover himself up with only his base. Yeah. Apparently, Woody Harrelson and Flea I don't know what resort they were at.

No matter which one it was, it seems like a good way to get yourself arrested in Utah. But, yeah, the 2 of them decided to strip down and just do some naked snowboarding. Flea said he was ready to post the footage on Instagram, but Woody's wife was like, don't do that, please. It would have gone viral. Woody Harrelson said he thought the footage was great.

I don't know. It it's cold outside. You know, when you're snowboarding? There there's numerous reasons that you probably don't wanna post the footage. Alright?

I don't need to elaborate. But, also, can you imagine just wrecking in the snow? Fully nude would be terrible. Going outside in winter is terrible. So, you know, much as I've recommended people go check out a nude resort once once in their life, I I don't know if I'd recommend, you know, if you're thinking about stripping down somewhere that the ski hill's the place to do it.

There's much more pleasant places to engage in that kind of activity somewhere warm. You know? Somewhere where it's not below freezing, and you're literally surrounded by ice. But, man, I'm I'm surprised that wasn't a news story, when it happened because I guess this was a while back. Seems like Utah would be horrified, but I don't know.

Maybe they're maybe they're getting wild down there in Park City. Maybe things are changing in Utah. Learning how to party with Flea and Woody. I gotta give a public shout out to my kids. Well, one of them's my kid.

I don't know if her boyfriend counts, but, my daughter, Taryn, as well as her boyfriend, Matt. I guess he's he sort of counts. He's been around long enough. You know, they're living together and buying a house. I guess I might as well count him as a as a kid at this point.

Great kids. For my birthday, they bought me new tubes for my guitar amp slash bass amp. It's it's a bass amp, but doom metal bands use it as a guitar amp. Legendary amp originally known as the sun. What is it?

The sun model t or something. I don't know. It's a fender bass man 300, and it's the most ridiculous crushing amp of all time. Hence, why all the doom metal bands use it. You know, you you just rip faces off.

But I don't know about a decade ago I was needing to replace the tubes and then I blew a fuse and it just went out of commission Now the tubes are very expensive. For the set of the power tubes, 6 of those, it's about $350. The preamp tubes, about another 100. So the kids got me the power tubes for my birthday, and I was like, what what are you kids doing getting me something that expensive? But my daughter's boyfriend's a guitar player.

I had told him about this amp. I think he was excited to see me get it up and running again, so they got me the power tubes. I picked up the preamp tubes, hit up Vern's Radio Shack in Idaho Falls. They special ordered me the fuses I needed. Got that thing all cleaned up.

Got the tubes in. I've been working on this for about 2 months. And then final, thank you here to my homie jd who stopped by the house last night. He brought all his, you know, electrician type gear and biased the tubes. It's a process where you dial in the electrical current, and I don't know how that works.

And, anyway, he dialed it all in, and then he helped me EQ it out and get it sounding good again because, I mean, it had been sitting in my garage for literally a decade. So we got it all dialed in. I hooked up my my bass guitar and then just crushed it down. Oh, if I mean, it sounds better than I remember. It's as satisfying as ever to play.

There is something to be said about a powerful amp If you're a guitar or bass player, it just feels good. Feels good to just crush it. So, shout out to Taryn, Matt, and JD for helping me make that happen. It was like a celebration last night when I got that thing up and running. And, boy, did my kitten not like it.

She was terrified. You I would've thought with how many times I've crushed down my sound system in the living room, you know, because it's pretty loud, that she wouldn't have been too fazed, but maybe it was because the noise was coming from a different area of the house. She didn't know what to do. Came down from my studio. She was all wild eyed.

Like, what's happening? Poor little kitty. She's rocking the cone. One more week, kitten, and I can take the cone off. But, man, it was so fun.

Next thing I gotta do is my Axe FX, which is my guitar effects rig. It's hooked up to my computer. And so it it's one of these, major first world problems. Oh, I've got my studio monitors hooked up to the Axe FX, and all my computer stuff is running through it. I'd have to disconnect it and move it to play it through the amp.

And then I gotta figure out a different way to hook up my studio monitors to the computer. Oh, life is rough. I'll get it figured out, though. I gotta see what it's like to crush the ax effects through that thing. I bet it would be, mind blowing.

So very excited. Very excited to have that up and running again. I posted a photo on my socials if you wanna see what the, it it it's just a picture of an amp in my studio with all the red lights on and things like that, but I was very happy. That might have been part of the reason I had such difficulty getting to sleep. I was rocking bass for, quite some time last evening.

It's It's a good way to spend your evenings with a amp cranked up. I had it on, 4 which, you know, it goes to 10, but 4 on this thing. Again, I'm I'm ready to take the stage at a stadium with this amp. It's awesome. So awesome.

So that was my evening, and, it's always good to have good kids and good friends in your life to help you out. I've I've got a great life. That's for sure. I got a wonderful lady, good kids, cats that are good most of the time, and coworkers that I I guess are okay. I guess they're alright.

Well, I don't think my fellow cat people would be very happy with me if I didn't do a cat break on International Cat Day. Now I know I do plenty of cat breaks. I already did a cat break, but I didn't know it was International Cat Day. Usually, I ignore today's random holidays, but I had all of these different cat things show up, like cat, polling results and, like, okay. I I guess I'll talk about my cats.

I guess I've gotta get over to the k Bear 101 Idaho rock and metal group, post a picture of the kitties, and be like, alright. Show me your cats on international cat day. That's what you do on social media. Right? I'll actually do that.

Give me a few. But, I don't know. These cat things that I got sent, they're kinda strange. Alright? Like, the best cities for cat people.

What would constitute a great city for for cats? Alright? I got no idea on this one. Apparently, Orlando, Florida, the best city for cat people. Now why?

Florida don't sound like a place for cats. There's there's gators out there. Alright? I paid to have somebody come get my kitten out of a tree because I was worried about a hawk potentially swooping in and taking her away. Alright?

Yeah. I called every tree person in East Idaho. I was like, please, come get my cat out of the tree. Luckily, I found one who was like, yeah. I got this.

But, yeah, gators, I would imagine now cats move pretty fast, and I would assume if they see a gator, they're gonna get they're out of there. But yeah. What did they base this on? Access to animal shelters, vets, cat cat friendly housing. Okay.

I guess that would be a good place for cat people, a place where you can rent an apartment or a house and be able to have a cat. I know that's difficult because I've had cats for a long time, and it is challenging to find places that let you have them. Also, lots of pet stores. Okay. Well, I'm not moving to Orlando.

I'm not moving to Knoxville. Not moving to Vegas. I don't know much about Santa Rosa, California, but it's not on my list right now. Maybe if I visit it. Oh, this is it.

I am cat guy, and here I am, Santa Rosa. Not moving to Saint Louis. Richmond, Virginia. Don't know a lot about that. Scottsdale, Arizona.

I love Arizona, but I just think I could not handle Scottsdale slash Phoenix slash that whole area in the summer. I think it it's just too brutal for this old man. Summertime or, I mean, wintertime. Perfect. Perfect place to be hanging out during the winter months in Phoenix.

But, I mean, I'm I'm sure it's like a 110 today. You know, I haven't looked at it in a while because even though my daughter lives there and is about to move, I was like, do you need help? Nope. Okay. I'll come when the weather's better.

Oh, look. It's, they're having a cool spell. High of a 106 today. Beautiful weather. Oh, man.

Can you imagine having to move in that kind of weather? I'm sure they'll move at nighttime, but it's still, like, 90. 90 for the low. So if you're moving at, 10 PM, it's probably still a 100. You know?

That ninety's in the middle of the night. Miserable. Miserable. All right. Anyway, where are my other cat stats here?

Seemed like there was something else. Oh, 21% of people say they're cat people. So only 1 in 5 of you enjoys when I talk about the cats. I can't help it. I'm a weird cat person, apparently.

I'm gonna blame my mom. She always had these cats around. Alright? And I think if you just grow up around them, I never had a dog. Just, you know, cat guy.

My kids bought me a mug for Christmas or my birthday or something cat dad. Peaches don't like that. Peaches is not a fan of cat dads or dog moms. I don't know why he don't like those terms, but they bother him. So if you see it, make sure to tell him about your fur babies and all that kinda stuff.

Yeah. It it makes them a little bit crazy. So shout out to my cat people. I'll go make a cat post. Alright?

And I'll try to avoid more cat talk. I just can't help it. Alright? I live at home alone with 2 cats. It's gonna pop up in what I talk about because that's my my evenings.

House cats and watching good stuff with my lady, over the phone. Gotta do what you gotta do. Alright. I didn't intend to continue on Pet Talk. Excuse me.

Guess I need to get some water. Okay. Anyway, didn't intend to continue with Pet Talk, but this article popped up that I figured I've gotta share with everyone because this goes for all your pets, dogs, cats, whatever. It's amazing the things they're out there studying, but a new study has revealed that pet owners farts are turning your pets into nervous wrecks. Yeah.

You know, you think your pets are the one living thing in your house that you can probably fart around without any type of embarrassment or, worry of disturbing Gives them anxiety. How do you determine that? Gives them anxiety. How do you determine that? How do you study and determine whether a fart is giving a pet anxiety?

Got all these scientists in a room. Alright. Bring that one over here. We're just gonna sit here and eat beans, and they're just ripping them out one after another. What is it?

What does it seem to be, reacting like? I saw its eyes open up a little bit wider. I think it's bothered. Put that down as, agitation. Yeah.

This study says that about 1 in 5 pets are left feeling anxious when people fart. But then the article gets into a bunch of other things that your pets don't like. And some of these it's, like, alright. I could try to remember not to fart around the cats. Alright.

Well, you know, if they get agitated by the noise of someone opening the fridge, well, I can tell you my daughter's cat gets agitated by the noise of opening the fridge. It turns into a complete maniac. I have never seen a cat behave like my daughters when it comes to food. That cat is crazy. She's a sweet girl unless there's food involved.

When I was in Phoenix, I had some ice cream. Yeah. I'm waiting for the kids to get home and, like, well, let's take a little drive over to Dairy Queen, I guess, and get a blizzard. Come back to the apartment and just hanging out, and that cat went insane. I had to lock it in the bathroom so I could eat ice cream.

It was, like, crawling up my leg. It's yowling. I found it in the garbage can one day when I was there. Like, they have to keep a big heavy bucket on top of the garbage lid because this cat will it'll do anything it can to get into the trash. If they open the fridge and it can quickly get in there, it'll run off with, like, a steak.

This thing's crazy. I I went to take it out of the garbage, and it went feral on me. I thought the cat was gonna kill me because I took it out of the garbage. Again, a very sweet kitty other than when there's food involved. So, yeah, I I believe that stat that about 1 in 20 animals becomes crazy when someone opens the fridge.

Apparently, 12% of animals don't like it if you're cuddling with somebody or maybe making out a little bit. They get, I don't know, agitated or jealous or some I know if I'm petting Koopa. The kitten gets very, very jealous, and she'll jump up because she knows he'll run away if she jumps up on my lap when he's sitting there. So anytime I'm trying to give him some attention, she comes over and just ruins his day. Now this stat, I don't believe.

Only about 2 in 5 animals are frightened by the noise of a vacuum cleaner. I have never seen an animal that is not afraid of the vacuum cleaner that I can recall. Probably have. But far as my cats go, they all hate the vacuum, and Josh was talking to me about his dog, Josh from classy. What's what type of dog is that?

Like, a Russell terrier? He read online that dogs believe that you're being attacked by the vacuum because it kinda you know, as you're moving it back and forth, kinda looks like you know, it's attached to your hand. It won't let go, and that's why they bark and get crazy. So he said you're supposed to scold the vacuum. No.

No. I I never followed up with him to see if if that actually worked to calm his little dog down. But, again, I yeah. I've never seen an animal that is not not frightened by the vacuum. Then the other things they throw in here are obvious.

Like, yeah, taking them to the vet. Most pets hate that. Fireworks, balloons, boiling kettles? Never heard of that one. So, anyway, just wanted to let you know, basically, you shouldn't fart around your pets.

I know. I know. There's no space. No space with any living creature around, but you should be ripping them out apparently. Take note, Peaches.

Peaches yesterday was very gassy, and he thought it was so funny. But it was also kinda funny because, like, Jade, when he comes in here and farts, he doesn't do anything to let you know. Just all of a sudden, you're hit by toxic fumes, and you have to yell at him. Peaches, he kept putting his shirt over his nose in the studio like a little kid. I'm like, peach, did you fart?

And he's like, yeah. I mean, thankfully, I couldn't smell it. It was not jade level toxicity. Peaches must have a much better diet than jade Davis, but multiple times I look over and Peaches has his shirt over his nose. I'm, like, dude, what do you what do you do?

Get out of here. Go fart in front of somebody's dog or something. Get. So I was on Twitter. I know.

I know. I haven't been on there in a while because it's such a dumpster fire, but every once in a while, I like to go make a post letting bands know, hey. We've added your song to rotation, and it's easy to do on Twitter. You just tag them. Boom.

Blam. There you go. Heads up. And some bands really appreciate that, just knowing we're playing their music. So as I get done making my posts on there, I happen to glance over at what was trending on Twitter, and I see cannibal corpse.

Like, okay. Why would cannibal corpse be trending? And, apparently, there are a lot of people trying to cancel cannibal corpse due to the content in their music. Alright? I guess some people who had never listened to extreme death metal from back in the day have never analyzed things like lyrical content in cannibal corpse songs.

And I I will admit some of those songs are extremely vile. Alright. But, k. Here's how I look at bands like cannibal corpse as far as lyrical content goes. And this you know, I've I've been in bands like this where when we were teenagers, we would write some of the most horrific horror movie style lyrics that you could imagine.

That's what I see when I look at bands like cannibal corpse. It's like a horror movie. K? The guys in these bands, it's not like these, you know, horror tales that are being told in these songs are some type of a belief system from these band members or something they're, like, advocating for. You look at their album art.

It's always, you know, like something straight out of a horror movie, and the songs reflect that. There have been a number of bands that you know, in the last, you know, decade or so, people have gone back to analyze their lyrical content and get very upset. And I think things were just different back in the day. There's gotta still be bands. Well, cannibal corpse is still active, but gotta be plenty of other bands still putting out songs with that type of lyrical content.

But, again, it's like an audio horror movie. K? Are people really taking this seriously? Like, there are bands out there that do put terrible, beliefs into their music. Bands, you know, they have like an agenda.

That is not the case with bands like cannibal corpse. I saw some type of an article or YouTube video or something where people were going after typo negative for similar stuff, lyrical content from songs. And I don't know. I guess, again, having been in bands when I was a teenager where we would sit around and we would laugh because of how ludicrous some of the songs we were coming up with were. And they were just, like, horror movies.

You know? And I I don't know. Maybe it's just being the horror movie and, novel fan that I am. I can get it that it's it's not real. You know?

It's it's not real. But, I mean, if you look at cannibal corpse, the only things you ever see about their their front man, which he has a hilarious name, corpse grinder. He's like the nicest guy ever, and the thing that he does as he's out on the road or just for fun while off the road. He goes out to the arcade with his kids, and he wins a whole bunch of stuffed animals from the, claw games, and then he donates them to needy children and things like that. I'm telling you, you look up pictures of corpse grinder, half the ones you find are gonna be him holding stuffed animals.

Super nice guy, and he does all these things to help out people. You know, he like, here's a post that popped up. You know? Corpse grinder. Donating toys to John Hopkins Children's Hospital, and he's got bags and bags and bags of them.

I don't know. Again, there are bands who put hateful material into their music, and I think they should be called out for that because they're spreading a a belief system. I don't think that's the case with bands like Cannibal Corpse. It's it's ludicrous to me to think that people really believe that as well with how over the top these lyrics are. K?

I'm not saying you should right now. Just start go reading their lyrics. You'd you'd be like you might be horrified because again, about as vile as it can get. I've but I don't see the difference as a horror fan, you know, to list to listening to cannibal corpse compared to reading a novel by Richard Laymon or Jack Ketchum, Stephen King, or watching Hostel. You know?

It it's all kinda in the same vein. It's entertainment. It's not real. K? So, anyway, I don't think it's gonna be a successful campaign to cancel cannibal corpse, but, trust me.

There are worse dirtbags out there in the entertainment world to go after, everybody. Cannibal corpse, everything I understand about them is they're really good people. You talk to metal heads in the industry, you know, everybody has nothing but good things to say about these guys. So metal heads are nerds. K.

I've talked about it plenty of times. The nicest people generally that you're going to meet are metal heads. I've talked to people who work at concert venues. The metal shows are always their favorite because the crowds are the best behaved. Alright.

The worst? I've I've asked tons of different people who work at venues what the worst crowds are. And 100% of the time, they always say country music fans. Always. So I mean, we could start digging into some of the lyrical content in, popular country music.

Go after some of those guys, the guys out there spreading hate. Ghost and hunter's moon, a track featured in Halloween kills. And I guess all of my talk about horror movies when we were talking about cannibal corpse, led to my Facebook feed letting me know about an upcoming horror event that, though I don't believe I'll be able to attend, I figured I'd tell you about because I know we got a lot of ice 9 kills fans. Ice 9 kills gonna be here in just a few weeks. Holy cow.

That will be fun. But I also know we got a lot of horror fans that listen to the show, so you might want to try to make your way over to the ice 9 kills silver screen con. Now you're gonna have to fly to the other side of the country. It's going down in Worcester, Massachusetts. September 13th through 15th, this looks like a lot of fun.

It's hosted by ice 9 kills, and nothing like a horror convention. Right? I've actually never been to a horror convention. I've wanted to go before. The horror writers hold a variety of horror conventions throughout the years.

And even though I am not a horror writer as a fan, I've always wanted to go meet some of my favorite authors, bring some books, get them signed. Just haven't ever got around to it. But a horror con like this, it's more of like a, comic con type thing. You got all the horror movie stars and things like that. Plus ice 9 kills appearing live.

It's a, you know, 3 day event. The ticket packages don't look like a a really bad deal to me for 3 days. If you wanna go to the show, the ice 9 kills concert and 3 days of con, it's like, it's a $141. If you just wanna go to the con, 3 days, $81. Now, again, you're gonna have to fly to.

But, I mean, I'm pretty impressed by the list of guests that they've got lined up for this thing. Of course, you have ice 9 kills. You know, all of their songs paying homage to the mighty genre that is horror, but they got some major stars. Danny Trejo, Machete. Machete himself gonna be there.

I actually have a signed machete poster my sister got for me, and it's very cool. It's hanging up in my, my basement living room. I I can't call it a man cave because my whole house is a man cave, so that's not fair. But, I got that hanging up down there. Machete.

That's a movie I need to watch again. I love that movie. Why haven't I watched that in so long? But, like, for example, some of the other stars gonna be there. David Arquette, who was in scream, also watched another great movie he was in the other day, bone tomahawk.

That was a good movie. Eli Roth, director of hostel and cabin fever. You got Jamie Kennedy who is in scream, the guy who plays the clown in terrifier, the director of the Terrifier movies, lots of other stars from Terrifier. Even the little girl who's in Terrifier 2 who is just so hilarious. Now terrifier 2, that movie had a lot of bad rap when it came out.

Oh, this movie is the most gruesome movie of all time, and it wasn't because I've watched a lot of really gruesome horror movies. I thought it was really funny. I thought it was a hilarious movie. It was just too long. It was, like, 2 and a half hours long, and that was just too much.

I I wasn't, like, disgusted. It did take a lot for a movie to make me squirm, but it just kinda like, alright. Is this movie gonna get over anytime soon? Why is this so long? This isn't the godfather.

What's going on here? Who else is gonna be there? You've got stars from Halloween, stars from the Devil's Rejects, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Final Destination, Friday 13th, so many different people. If you're a horror fan, I mean, it's it's like everybody. You got the, the woman who played the nun in the conjuring movies.

She's gonna be there. Yeah. Even Jose Mangan from SiriusXM Octane. Now wait a minute. Where's Victor Wilt on this list?

Oh, yeah. I am not a known celebrity outside of, East Idaho, so I I guess I don't have the clout to be kicking it with Jose Mangan. Is Jose a a big, horror fan? I mean, I know he's an Ice Nine Kills fan, but I'm an Ice Nine Kills fan and a horror guy. Alright?

I really gotta make friends with Spencer when he comes to town. We need to sit down and talk horror. I mean, there's a great picture of me you can see online when I was introducing ice 9 kills the last time they were here. I'm rocking my Pet Sematary shirt, screaming to the crowd, but I didn't get to, meet. Well, no.

I did meet him, but I didn't get to really talk horror with him. He just, took a photo, signed some stuff. It was really quick. I gotta get him in studio. I'll hit up my guy at the label.

I think Spencer's done some bad interviews with radio people, and most bands probably have because radio people tend to ask a bunch of hokey crap. You know, Putting out a bad name for all of us. But then maybe next year, I could be part of silver screen con. People are like, who's this guy? Why is he here?

Well, what about this guy, Ryan j Downey? He's just a guy who works at Loudwire. He looks familiar. I think I might have met him before. I don't know.

He writes for spin and, apparently, the not fest website, he's not even wearing a horror shirt. Come on now. Anyway, this looks fun. I'm not gonna be able to go, but I don't know. If you're looking for something to do and you're really into horror, go to silverscreencon.com.

I I bet it would be a lot of fun. Horror fans are like metal heads. Bunch of nerds. Bunch of nerds would be a good time to hang out with them. I was just chatting with Lisa about, Jose, Jose from octane You know, I wasn't like calling him out for being on the silver screen con panel of guests by any means Big supporter of, ice 9 kills.

But I guess because I don't know the guy very well. I've met him, and he was very nice. Very nice. But this was at a rock radio convention, and the subject of horror did not come up. I don't, tend to have time to tune into his show, so I don't know a lot about him.

But I guess he's a big horror guy. So next time that I go to a radio convention, which hopefully, since it's been a number of years, maybe I can go to, you know, one of these upcoming I I there's only one that I know about actually in, February. But, hopefully, if I could go, the octane crew will be there. They're always fun to hang out with, and I can have a horror discussion with Jose because horror fans, like I said, like metal heads. You see somebody in a, you know, Chucky T shirt.

It's one of those deals like when you see somebody wearing a metal shirt. You're like, hey, and what up? You you kinda you just know You give each other the the look like, yeah, you know what's cool. Speaking of cool, this is pretty cool. Josh shared this on, I guess, his personal Facebook page, Josh from classy.

New Idaho wildlife license plates. I know that's a weird transition from horror into hey. Let's talk about the beauty of nature, but that's how this show goes. Alright? I have never got a custom plate for my vehicle because I'm cheap.

Alright? I get that vehicle registration in the mail. I'm like, alright. What what's the cheapest I can do? And usually, it's like, I should probably buy the 2 year thing because I know they're just gonna charge more and more every year.

But I'm always like, what if some idiot runs into my truck and totals it? You can't get the money back on a registration. So I always just go cheap, basic license plate, renew for 1 year. But, you know, I think one of these license plates could look pretty cool on my truck. I like this one with the elk.

Yeah. Because elk are beastly. They don't mess around. They'll attack cars and stuff like that. They're one of those animals like bison that we get great news stories about, you know, elks attacking people.

Gives me content for my show. Sorry. I don't get a lot of content from the mountain bluebird. Well, I don't know. I guess a bluebird on your license plate is pleasant enough.

They also got one with a fish. Look like a rainbow trout jumping out of the water. Alright. I I think, the elk one, that that's where I'm at if I was going to pay for a custom plate. But I don't know if I'm gonna do that because I'm cheap.

But they're available. I should probably share this post so you can go check it out. Post from the Idaho Fish and Wildlife Foundation, because custom plates are neat. I just I don't know what I would put on the words because I I don't want people to necessarily know it's me by putting Victor. Somebody calling.

Alright. I guess they better be on topic here. K Bear, you are live on the show. Please keep that in mind. Who's this?

Hey. This is Zach. How's it going? Zach, good. What's up?

Hey. Just saying, you can't get your money back on registration, but you can transfer it to another vehicle. Oh, yeah. I guess that's true. Yeah.

Yes. If some idiot does file into your truck, whatever you're getting extra, take a plate with you. See, this is why I need listeners in my life because I just assume things. And, I have gotten new vehicles and transferred the plates. So why do I not think of this?

Because I'm a moron sometimes. So thank you, Zach. Yeah. I know. Have a good day.

Hey. You too, man. Peace. Alright. So now if I was truly going to get a custom plate, I don't know if I'd necessarily actually want the one with an elk on it because I don't know.

I'm I'm not a huge outdoorsy guy. You know, I like to drive around in the outdoors and look. Be like, hey. Check it out. This is really, really pretty.

But, like, you ain't gonna find me with a tent in the back of my truck. That's for sure. No way. What kind of, custom plates do we have that might be more to my liking? Pull this up here.

We got a lot of different custom plates. Wow. I didn't realize there was so many. Alright. You've got the Idaho Vandals.

You got a Boise State. Got the 4 h with a clover. You got, like, a farm for agriculture. There's a horse. The Appaloosa plate.

I guess a small airplane, a pilot's paradise. We got mountain biking. You got the Boise capital. I'm sure you've seen those around. When when I see those, I know that's a smug Boise person.

I live in the capital. I live in Boise. Get out of here. Alright, Smug Boise people. I'm not seeing any of these plates that really strike my fancy.

I will say that the new Elk plate looks better than the old one because they they got the old one here on the Idaho transportation department website. Why don't we have a simple all black license plate? Utah has one. I saw one the other day, and I was like, that would look awesome on my truck. Just an all black license plate.

All of ours are very colorful unless you have a classic vehicle, and then those are black and white. But my truck is not a classic vehicle, and they probably have some kind of restrictions on what type of vehicle you can put a classic plate on. Because this one's funny. It says old timer and has, like, an old model t. That would be funny to put on my truck, but it says vehicle qualified next to it, so you have to have a certain kind of vehicle.

Can we just get a simple all black license plate? Come on now. If we've got one that shows somebody planting trees, come on. Why why not something for the, I don't know. It it just goes back to, like, yesterday we talked about how my closet, if you look at it, it's all black clothes.

It's my favorite color. It's not a color. It's a tint or whatever. Whatever. Whatever.

Freak news powered by Greasemonkey. Voted Idaho's best oil change. Here we go. Alright. Headed to Texas to kick things off, where a 46 year old man is accused of rigging toilets at several car wash locations, placing small explosives under the toilet seats that were designed to detonate under pressure.

Alright. If you're at the point that you have to go so bad, you would use the car wash toilet. Can you imagine sitting down and all of a sudden? It's horrible. Let's see.

Did anybody actually sit down on 1 and, end up injured? Yes. Three incidents. Small explosions. I don't know if anybody was hurt, but they heard a loud bang.

There was one person injured and, reports that the customer was very upset and left the location before a report was made. If you sit on a toilet and blows up, call the cops. Alright? Jeez. What a jerk, man.

What? Why the car wash bathroom? Did something hap that, you know, took his car through and, I don't know, scratched up the side or something like that? Took part of his sweet wrap off? What a jerk.

What a jerk. Well, he he's gonna be in jail for a while. You start monkeying around with explosives. The authorities do not like that. So yeah.

Jeez. Be careful in the public bathrooms. I guess lift up the seat first before you just sit down. There are maniacs out there. Speaking of maniacs, have you heard about this guy, Philippe Petit?

Been around for a long time. He's a famous tight tight rope walker. I guess this week, he's gonna walk a high wire across the nave of Saint John the divine in New York City, the world's largest cathedral. He's most famous, I think, for walking between the World Trade Center back in 1974. I watched a documentary about this one time.

It was like watching like, rocks at Yosemite with no ropes. Like, rocks at Yosemite with no ropes. That free climbing. Yeah. Watching this documentary about the guy locked between the World Trade Center on a tightrope, he doesn't have a net under him.

Okay? It's all windy up there. It was very impressive, but, oh, as someone who's not big on heights, it made me uneasy. Anyway, I mean, he did that 50 years ago, so he's gotta be, what, like, 70? And he's gonna go tight tight rope walk again?

Well, he he's a pro. Oh, he's 74 now. There you go. About to turn 75. I hope at age 75, I'm just walking.

Alright? Let alone getting up on a tight rope without a net. 75. It's the new, 40, I guess. Dude's making me feel really old right now.

Jeez. What else do we got going on here? Got a lawsuit, going up against the company who tried to take a submarine to the Titanic last year. Crew of Titan sub knew they were going to die before implosion according to $50,000,000 lawsuit. The lawsuit says the crew experienced terror and mental anguish before the disaster.

Yeah. No kidding. I don't think it was just all of a sudden poof. I'm sure there was, you know, this pressure building and creepy creaking sound. Alright.

It you know what scares me worse than walking a tightrope? Being miles below the surface of the ocean in a submarine. Alright. Terrifying. I I don't like being in the ocean on the beach.

Alright? I don't like being 1 foot deep. I don't like my feet in the water. So I would have experienced terror and mental anguish the minute that submarine went down a few feet. Get me out of here.

Claustrophobia kicking in. Anyway, I mean, based on the lawsuit, if that's, again, the basis behind the the payment, they'll they'll probably get it because yeah. I would assume if you are in a submarine and you know it's about to implode, there's gonna be some terror and stress in those final moments. Yeah. Avoid avoid some of these crazy excursions.

Alright? They just don't seem to go well. Yesterday, I talked about a Texas school that was trying to ban all black clothing over mental health concerns. And I personally thought this was ridiculous because that's my wardrobe, all black clothing, and it's been that way since I was a teenager. It's just what's comfortable for me.

Like, if I put on a white t shirt, it just feels like there's a bright light kind of outside of my vision at all times or something. I don't enjoy wearing super light clothing. I just like my black clothes. And I guarantee that if somebody who's really into all black clothing is forced to wear clothes they don't wanna wear, that's going to be much more detrimental to their mental health than just letting them dress how they want. If I was forced to wear white pants and a white shirt every day at work oh, Jade, don't get any ideas here.

No dress I mean, we sorta have a dress code. It's kinda a common sense dress code. Right? Like, don't wear a cannibal corpse shirt to work. Alright?

Pretty simple to figure out. If it's going to bother an average person, don't wear it. You know, today, what do I got? In N Out Burger shirt, courtesy of Peaches. This will only bother a few people because it does say the word California on it.

So I might have to question this one moving forward in the future. To some people in east Idaho, that that word is offensive. But I I think I'm okay. So, anyhow, they put this plan on hold after a number of parents pointed out, how is the color of clothing going to have an impact on somebody's emotional well-being? Alright.

Making people wear different colored clothes isn't going to magically make them a completely different person. So shout out to them for putting that on hold. It was just stupid. What's up, peaches? Oh, nothing.

What's up? Not much, man. How's it going? Good. I was just talking about that Texas school trying to ban black clothing, and they they reneged on that.

Good. They turned it around because it's dumb. Right. Yeah. I mean, peaches, you'd be fine.

You're not wearing all black. No. So you're okay with your light green shirt or maybe it's blue. I can't tell by the lighting in here. What is that shirt?

They're good. What does it say on? Oh, Seal Beach. Seal Beach. Yeah.

Okay. So both you and I are rocking California shirts, so I already said we're borderline on offending people. So we are currently, probably upsetting potentially Katie Lee next door. Uh-oh. Because you said she's not a fan of In N Out Burger either.

So this is In N Out Burger, and it says California. Mhmm. And it's in that, font that's kinda like old school, like, gangster rap font. What we heard, AI Katie Lee yesterday saying she loves California. I know, and it sounded pretty legit to me.

After you left yesterday, I showed Josh, AI Josh Tyler. No. What what was his reaction? He was horrified because of how much it sounded like him. I I was very blown away.

Did you show Chantel too? No. She was gone at that point. You mean Chantel? Chantel.

Because that's what We gotta show Katie too. We'll have to show Katie. Yeah. I showed him you, and he thought you were pretty spot on too. He was, you know It was fairly close.

It was pretty close other than the very beginning when you go, hi. I'm Peaches. Hi. After that, it sounds pretty spot on, and then Jade's was perfect. But, Did you show him Jade's?

I did show him Jade's. Yep. Yeah. He was he was kinda terrified by that. Did you show Jade himself?

I did not get a chance to show Jade, But, we'll have to. If he comes down here today, I'll let him know. Today, we'll get Jay Hildebrandt, I think, on it. Yeah. And we gotta get Lou Brutus.

Gotta get Lou Brutus. Do we have any, clips of him anywhere? Oh, yeah. I mean, we have all the hard drive. Because I I gotta save it into Speechify.

Yeah. You can, you can go into NextGen and save files elsewhere. So you could save a hard drive file. And the next time he comes to the studio, he'd be like, Lou, you remember saying this? And then just play him the part.

Victor Wilt is the greatest radio show host I've ever heard of all time. I have a signed guitar from the legendary Victor Wilt. I I showed off my signed Lou Brutus guitar because I was like I saw I saw that. I did see that. I was like, you know, I bet Lou doesn't have that.

Take that. You got all the merch in the world, but no signed Lou Brutus guitar. So Can't he just sign a guitar himself? Peaches, be quiet. I don't need to give this guy any ideas.

I gotta have some kind of merch that's, very hard to find. Very hard to find. I don't see a lot of Lou Brutus and Darla the wonder dog guitars out there. I should have, taken a photo of the Rob Van Darn poster I got in my, Rob Van Darn. In my childhood bedroom.

Looking at an article here from The Guardian called, this is impossible. Can kids master the video games their parents loved? Well, I'll give you an answer on that. The answer is yes if they put the effort in. Guaranteed.

Because kids are always going to be more skilled than the previous generation. And I know those of us who are older don't wanna hear that, but look at innovation. Does it not just seem to continue on and on and get better and better and crazier and crazier? A lot of people like to, poo poo on, you know, younger people. Oh, they're lazy.

They they don't wanna work. Nah. They got skills. They got skills, and they're really smart. I have played lots of video games with my kids.

Alright? And I've I've played old video games with them too. And generally, as we're starting off, you know, I can crush them. Because I've played these games a 1000000 times And I played them when I was was young. Alright.

I remember there's muscle memory there. That's the thing about the old video games. Those old Nintendo games, there wasn't a lot of randomization in them. If you could memorize the path you needed to take, ultimately, you could crush pretty much any of those old games. It just took learning the patterns.

Alright? Watch the movie, the King of Kong. King, Donkey Kong documentary. It's awesome. It's a great documentary.

I need to rewatch it. It's very fun. Donkey Kong, all about patterns. Alright? Well, this article, you have parents playing video games with their kids and they'll play some of the games their kids play and then they'll bring their kids back to play some of the old ones.

And I personally think that due to the, randomization that takes place in modern video games, those games, a lot of them are way harder ultimately than the old games. Because, like, you wanna see me play overwatch with my kids? It's an embarrassment. A total embarrassment. They'll kill me every time.

You give me a game where I can do pattern memorization like super meat boy which is, you know, pretty much an homage to old school super Mario bros. There we go. Now I can, you know, show them how it's done. But they definitely have the skill. Because if you've played Super Mario Wonder, Mario wonder at times is, very difficult.

A very difficult video game. And my daughter got really into the game. She didn't play a lot of the old school Marios. You know, probably some of them starting on the Wii. Yeah.

She can destroy me on Mario wonder. And pretty much any game that they, you know, put their mind to learning how to play. Once you get old, your reflexes are just gone. You're you're not gonna be able to beat the kids. I was playing Mario Kart with, the girls and, my girlfriend, and we're we're all playing online.

All 3 of them. They just crushed me over and over. I I I just don't have it anymore. So I play slow paced games like Red Dead Redemption. I've been playing GTA 5 again.

It's so good. So good. But I tell you the one spot where I straight start to really struggle is racing. Never been good at racing games. I'm sure it was a disappointment to my dad who was a, stock car racer.

But I seem to remember my dad even beating me at Mario Kart on Super Nintendo. No. We got a caller. Let's see what they want. K, Barry, you're live on the show.

Please keep that in mind. Who's this? Victor, good morning. It's the redneck. What you got on video games, man?

Well, I have to agree with you. I mean, kids are just so much more technology savvy today than what we were growing up. I mean, I got I still got a Nintendo 64, and my little ones absolutely love playing Mario Kart and Diddy Kong on that. Oh, yeah. But, I look at you know, I watched my 17 year old play, and it's like, dude, slow down.

Oh, yeah. Drinking energy drinks. Yep. There are certain games that I'm just like, I'll watch, like overwatch. Yeah.

I'm I'm just not even gonna try. It's that's way too fast paced for this old man. And I'm terrible at first person shooters as well. I'm I'm awful. I always play them on easy.

If a game has a good story like BioShock or, you know, resident evil, the newer ones. I, I just put it on easy and I go through it with, out trying to beat myself up too bad at my lack of skill. And that's how my wife is on that stuff. Like, I got her hooked on assassin's Creed Valhalla, and now she wants to play all the Assassin's Creed because she likes doing it with the the bigger story line. Yeah.

Yeah. I like I like those kind of games for sure. It's something I never thought I would see, but, like, you look at the graphics nowadays. I mean, it's almost like watching a movie or watching a sports game. Dude, there's a game on PlayStation 5 called Ratchet and Clank.

Something about a rift, time rift. I don't remember what it's called, but, it's the most amazing looking video game I've ever seen and play it's like playing a Pixar movie. It's it's crazy. Wow. It's so good.

I it blows my mind every time I fire that game up just how how good the graphics are, and it's just getting better and better. I mean, it give it 5 years. It's we will probably have, like, straight up realistic lifelike everything to where it's like you're playing a straight up filmed movie. So Oh, yeah. I believe it.

I mean, the way she loves watching me play, the one game she refuses to watch me play, she'll get out, leave the room, and go somewhere else if I play. It's one of my favorite games is, Ace Combat 7. I don't think yeah. I haven't played that one. I haven't played it.

Oh, man. It it's awesome. I love it. And I I really I'll sit there and play hours and hours, and I'll waste the whole day if I'm not feeling good or some on the, online experience playing against people across the globe. And I love playing with my VR.

Oh, yeah. Dude, VR gaming, man. I'm a huge fan of that, and, I need to get back into it. I was playing resident evil 4, and then I stopped for a bit and, you know, you forget the controls and where you're at, and I just gotta start over on it. So good to hear from you, man.

You since then. So you have yourself a good day. I'll see you here in a little bit. I'm gonna bring you some donuts. Donut day.

Alright. Cool. Thank you, the redneck. Appreciate it, man. Alright.

We'll catch you in a bit, Victor. Peace. Bye. So, yeah, video games with your kids. A good fun activity.

Even if you're not a gamer, if your kids are into games, you should sit down. And even if you suck, just give it a shot. They'll have fun. I always had fun playing with my parents, and they weren't good. I'd play Mario Bros with my mom.

And, you know, they they were figuring it out. You know? It it was like they were terrible. But it was fun. It's fun watching don't know.

I don't know. I wasn't in the studio yesterday. You're full of crap. I think it was an old break. Like peaches found it somewhere.

And I'm just full of crap too. Maybe somebody recorded you in another studio and you were, you know, just talking crap. I don't know. Do you remember saying this, Jade? Hey.

It's Jade Davis. I used to be a fun outgoing young guy here in the building, but now I'm this old, monotone, boring guy that likes to hand off a ton of work to Victor because I don't wanna do it myself. I also like to make sure that no one else has fun in the building by saying no to a lot of what they ask me. Like Peaches the other day asked to go home and go see his family in December for Christmas. Did I let him?

No. Of course not. He is in fact now working double time that day for even asking me such a stupid question. Now I need to get going to hand off more work to Victor and see what the big boss man down the hall needs. Jade out.

Hey. It's jade Davis. Close. It's pretty close, isn't it? It's a bit robotic.

A bit yeah. The the timing's off, but the the tone of the voice. The tone. Some of the inflection that I would normally use is a little off. But Yeah.

Yeah. It was weird, man. I mean, the one for me that features maybe yesterday The yesterday. The voice that I use for the alt one zero one imaging would probably be spot on because I'm just like, alright, alt 101, and I talk that way anyway. So you might need to try some of that feature.

I should. Yeah. And see if it comes out the same way and then I never have to voice anything for alt 101 ever again. That is true. Yeah.

That's a great point. Yeah. We thought about using it to whip together an intro for the new podcast we're working on for interviews. Yep. The artist interrogation podcast.

Just to AIJade and make it talk about how awesome me and Peaches are. Things like that. We got a new one with that. Alright. That one.

We do gotta do Douglas Baldwin for for the noon hour for sure. Oh, yeah. No. The other one was gonna be, we're here. We're here.

We are. Artist interrogate. That's right. Check this out. Listen to AI Josh.

Good morning, Classy Nation. It's your boy, Josh, here with the fabulous Chantel. And guess what? Today is national cotton candy day. Don't knock it till you try it, Chantel.

Cotton candy is a classic. I mean, who doesn't love that fluffy sugary goodness? Spot on. The reason why the reason why I hear that below him is because, there was music below his voice in the original audio. So for some reason, AI didn't know what to do.

Yeah. So it makes it sound like he's out on location doing a live broadcast, which almost makes it sound more real. You should play him my break. Play him Peaches? Okay.

Let's listen to Peaches' break real quick here and see what you think about. Josh thought, peaches was was pretty spot on. Hi. It's peaches here. I like to pretend I'm not that big, dumb, fat, stupid guy, and I hate that stereotype, but I do have to come clean and say, you know what?

Maybe I am all off those big, dumb, and fat. I mean, my shirts could work as covers for cars. Recently, I had an embarrassing incident where listeners saw me crying sitting down on the green belt bench because some girl dumped me and left me for another man. Peach, no like that. Peach, very angry.

Peach also listened to Dayseeker on repeat. Peach need to go take a potty break. Peach out. Peach need to start talking like that. Peach would sound much better.

Okay. Peach started talking like that. I expect peach to do breaks in that peach type manner from this from this peach on forward. From this peach on forward. We got Jade Davis in the house.

Jade. What up, Victor? I was wondering if you think this is a good idea. Nope. If it's coming from you, it's terrible.

Well, it's not my idea. That's for sure. This was just, Alright. An article I read about a woman who was trying to figure out a way to save money on gas. So she was, you know, stealing it, you know, siphoning gas.

That's a bad idea on a variety of levels. Like, just siphoning gas alone isn't it's not good. I've never attempted that because it sounds horrifying and disgusting and, dangerous as well. She ended up being charged with arson because while she was siphoning the gas trying to smoking a cigarette she was smoking at the same time. I can tell the future.

And man, life is hard, but life is a lot harder when you're dumb. Absolutely. She's a, she's quite the pro because she destroyed 2 U Haul vehicles this way in one night. The first one went up and flinch. Figured she'd try another one and see if it was a fluke.

Dude, like Definition of insanity doing the same thing with the idea of a different outcome. Must be. Must be. I I was hoping they had a mugshot because I wanted to see how close to Freddy Krueger she looked, but they She still had eyebrows or not. Yeah.

That surprised look. Man, it just blows my mind sometimes. The information that I find on the Internet, just mind boggling facts. Check this out. There was a recent poll that found that the extreme heat that the US has been experiencing is impacting most Americans' electricity bills.

Can you believe this? I would've never been able to figure this out without this poll. Somebody funded this. They made a bunch of calls, and they found out that when you need to use air conditioning, your electric bill goes up. Wow.

That's from the Associated Press. Alright. Very important. Breaking news. Yeah.

There are other things that extreme heat might have an impact on. This is gonna be as surprising to you as the fact that extreme heat leads to increased electricity bills. Check this out. It might also impact you or your family's outdoor activities. Yeah.

You know, if it's, like, really hot outside and you enjoy hiking in the Arizona mountains, it might have an impact that results in your death. Yeah. Can also impact your exercise routine and your pets. They don't like it when it's hot. Your sleep.

Yeah. If your room's all hot, did you know you're gonna sleep like garbage? I'm glad I can help you out with these kind of life pro tips here. Getting back to that electricity bill thing. If you wanna sleep better, you gotta pump some cool air into that room.

Alright. Yeah. I know. It's weird. It's weird.

But I'm glad I can help out. You know, anything I can do to make the day to day a little bit easier on you. It'll give you these tips, like, thin blanket. I I don't know. Why is this a news article?

Well, it gave me something to talk about. Yeah. Hey. It's okay if some of my brakes are useless. Alright.

I do my best to deliver quality content about, 95% of the time. And so I end up delivering maybe about 60% quality content. Depending on your opinion of the show, it might be lower. But I I end up feeling satisfied with, you know, maybe maybe 50%. That last break, I I think it was a, I give it a c plus in the in the world of radio.

I've heard much worse because I'm helping the community. You know? That that boosts it up a little bit when you're doing your duty as a broadcaster to have a positive impact and be of help to your community. So I will go submit that to my issues reporting so I can feel really good about myself. What's happening in peaches?

I do love how this year for Halloween or for Halloween decor, people are going bigger and bigger with these statues and inflatables. I talked we talked about, of course, when it came out first, the 12 foot tall skeleton. Yes. They're all over the place. Then there's now the 25 or 24 foot tall Betelgeuse.

And now Wait a minute. I think you might have told me about this. Now, it gets even better. You ready for this one? Yes.

There's a 35 foot tall Michael Myers inflatable. Okay. 35 foot Michael Myers. And he's carrying a knife. He's some giant he stands there with, you know Wow.

It's about $2,000 for this inflatable. Now okay. Let's see. This is why I'm broke.com. Yeah.

3 g's. Look at that thing. 3 grand. I mean, it would look amazing in front of my house. I mean, 35 feet.

You gotta think how tall that really is. Well, check this one out. Here's a 20 5 foot for only $500 peaches. Yeah. But that's not 35 feet.

It's not You're gonna get laughed at by the other guys who have 30 5 foot tall Michael Myers inflatables. I wonder if my neighbors who have the skeleton up year round and all the other skulls in their yard and stuff, wonder if they would consider investing in the 35 foot Michael Myers. I hope they do, and I hope they leave it up year round too. Yeah. That'd be amazing.

I do like their skeleton out front. I I like it too, and I'm seeing them all over the place. I think those, 12 foot skeletons make great decorations for people's yards. I'm all for them up year round. Now I do think you should try to get a bit festive with them, you know, depending on the time of year.

I don't know. You put the turkey hat on it during Thanksgiving. You give it bow and arrow for Valentine's Day? That's right. Yeah.

Make it a little Cupid esque. Give it a beard and there's a giant red. What's the what's the name of Santa's outfit? Santa's suit? Yeah.

I guess. I think that's what it's called. Santa's suit. A Santa suit. It looks like a glorified robe.

It is kinda robe like. But I get it because, you know, he's showing up at night in your house. He doesn't wanna wear a suit. Well, if you're gonna slide down a chimney, you know, you you don't wanna get the clothes underneath all dirty, you know? Gotta be able to take the Do you think he's wearing clothes underneath or do you think he's just wearing tighty whities?

You know what? That's a good question. Does Santa wear underwear under his suit? You know? Because it looks like a soft suit.

Because when did you think you're after you're done delivering all the presents, you just go right to bed? You just take the suit off? Are you are you pondering whether Santa sleeps naked, Peaches? Sure. Is that what's going on here?

Yeah. Because in the summertime, I I do. Let's hot out. We talked about, the way heat can impact your life earlier, and one of the issues was sleep. I know it's breaking news.

I look like a weird rotisserie chicken when I'm asleep at night because of just naked peaches rolling in his bed. I said, you know, I recommend a thin blanket, but, the peaches route also helps to stay cool. But, see, Santa, he I guess he's he's gotta enjoy a little bit of summertime as well. So during winter, I would think he might wear some clothes. Winter's not the time of year that it's best to sleep in.

Well, he lives in the North Pole year round. That's true. It's always winter. Yeah. You're right.

He's fine. He's used to it. He's acclimated. You're right. He's acclimated.

He sleeps naked with, you know, snow minus 30 below. He don't care. Did you ever scare the kids by going to Norad, going to their website and then seeing, where exactly Santa was in the world? And if he was getting close, he would have, like, all the you would tell the kids, go go to bed. Go to bed.

He won't he'll miss he'll skip our house if we're awake. I should have thought of doing that, but I did not. That's what my parents did. I ran upstairs, like Oh, I'm gonna get to bed immediately. I pretend to be asleep.

Yeah. Nothing worse than trying to get to sleep as a kid on Christmas Eve. It's impossible. Well, it sucks because most of my friends, will throw, like, these little get togethers. And I'll go over there and realize it's 10 PM, and I need to go back home to go to sleep because, you know, Santa's coming with the presents.

Yeah. You know, I, you mentioned scaring the kids into going to sleep. I didn't scare them, into going to sleep, and this is not a Christmas story. It's an Easter story. I may have told you this one before.

I think. But Maybe. We did, like, an Easter egg hunt here at work. It was the, you know, East Idaho's biggest Easter egg hunt or something like that, and, we don't do that event anymore. But for some reason, we had rented an Easter bunny costume, and they asked me to return it to the party palace in Pocatello.

So I have this Easter bunny costume in my car, and it's close to Easter. Not even Easter. But one night, I get the bright idea. I'm like, I should put the Easter bunny costume on and then show up and give the kids some candy. You know, I'll show up at my own house, knock on the door, and give them some candy.

And I don't know why I went about it in this way, but I did it at nighttime and went to the back door, which is a door nobody ever goes to at at that place. This was in Pocatello. So I'm knocking at the back door, which is they were pretty little at the time too. They were probably, like, 35 or something. They were really little.

And maybe even younger than that, but, you know, one of the kids answers the door, and I'm in this Easter bunny costume, and I mentioned earlier I'm very claustrophobic. Yeah. The minute I put that Easter bunny head on, I started, like, hyperventilating. It I was very uncomfortable. So they open the door, and they see this Easter bunny in the dark.

The sound light of an Easter bunny, and all they could hear is because I'm starting to panic in his suit and I'm holding up this like candy. And they were so scared. You know how adorable you little kids are? Oh. Maddie and Tara just screaming running back to the car.

Yeah. Yeah. And I don't know why. I thought that would they'd think it was fun, but it just terrified them and then made me, like, oh, I I could never put a suit on like that again. I I thought it would be just like dressing up for Halloween.

Something about being enclosed in that head. It was terrible. Paul, good news for you. We signed you up to be the Chuckers mascot next season. No way.

I am not gonna be Charlie Chucker. No. What up? It's me, Victor Welt. About time for me to get on out of here.

But before I go, wanna talk with you about one of my favorite artists of all time. Recently brought this up. The artist, Dax Riggs, who I think is my favorite singer of all time. If I had to just pick 1, I've got a lot of favorites. But if I had to pick just 1, I think Dax Riggs would be my favorite vocalist of all time.

He hasn't done anything musically for a long time. I follow him on social. You know, he's a very quiet guy. Just seems to be doing his thing, living down in Louisiana, being a family man. I figured he was done putting out music, which made me sad because he's released so much great music over over the years since I was a teenager.

First introduced to Dax Riggs from the band acid bath, which is one of my all time favorite bands. They're so good. After acid bath broke up, he went on to form agents of oblivion. After that, dead boy and the elephant men. And then he just started putting stuff out under his, you know, solo name until this, you know, big hiatus, I guess you'd call it.

I don't even remember the last time the guy dropped any kind of music. Somebody found a page on his website recently indicating that there was a new song coming soon and a new album in October. And, no word from, you know, the guy himself. Then all the posts about that just suddenly disappeared. The page disappeared.

And I was like, oh, man. You know, is this, like, some kind of old page that, you know, somebody just happened to find and now it wasn't pertinent information and It's not the case. Alright? There is new music coming from Dax Riggs. Last time he dropped music, 2010 with the album, say goodbye to the world, and I'm going or say goodnight to the world.

Excuse me. Excuse me. Gonna play the title track from that album for you here in a minute. But before I go, I wanted to give you the update on what's going on. So they posted on his website, the announcement for the new album, 7 songs for spiders was not supposed to be revealed yet.

Therefore, the new song deceiver from the upcoming album is not available at this time. The webmaster for Dax's official website made a mistake, left the announcement page on the server. Their system logged the newly created page to the website site map file, and then things like Google that scan the Internet picked it up, and, this made it visible to where people found it. So right now, no official announcement on when the new song is going to be available, but should be available sometime by the end of this month or the beginning of next month. Man, that's a long time to wait for me.

But they did say the new album is dropping October 11th, which, man, 14 years with no new music from my favorite vocalist of all time. Very exciting news for me. Thank you again for tuning in to Victor Wilt show. This program's a production of river. This program's a production of river.
