The Viktor Wilt Show

[rock music] What's up? How's everybody doing? You doing good? I hope so. All right. So far, kind of a slow news day. I was reading a little bit about the new game Silksong,

the sequel to, um... Holy cow. Why can't I think of, uh... Hollow Knight. Yeah, that's the game. Hollow Knight. One of those games I've always wanted to get into. Gave it a whirl, got frustrated 'cause it was difficult, turned it off. Uh, it's one of my daughter's favorite games. I- I would assume she's playing Silksong. But, uh, kind of cool to see, you know, an independent game just getting this kind of love on the internet and this much, uh, press. You know, it's a small team that made this game. And

even had, uh, the piracy subreddit, where I guess people talk about stealing video games and movies and things like that, uh, encouraging people to not steal the game and to support them and buy it. So, [laughs] I guess, uh, the entire internet is united around Silksong. Um, maybe I'll have to play... I have Hollow Knight. Got it on my PlayStation. Just haven't been doing, uh, much gaming, you know? Played a little bit of Red Dead the other day, but that- that was about it. I guess, I- I've done some VR gaming and things like that, but, uh, need to get into something new. Just been so busy. Been so busy

that not a lot of time to sit and just relax, so hopefully some of that going on this week. But there's, uh, still much to be done. Anyway, just wanted to let you Hollow Knight fans know, if you hadn't heard, the- the sequel's finally out. One of- one of the most anticipated games in quite some time, and, uh, it looks pretty cool. Looks pretty cool, but, uh, yeah. I probably won't be getting around to that any time soon. It- it's a pretty good deal, too. Think, uh, my kids said it was like 20 bucks. Not bad in this day and age for a new game, so. Anyway, I'm gonna keep digging in the news, try to find something to talk about today. I mean, something had to happen over the weekend that was dumb.

Gonna have to look at Florida Man, I guess. Getting desperate already on the show. Well, this one ain't ding-dong ditch, but [laughs] man, can't imagine how it would've went had it been a ding-dong ditch. This woman in Florida, she walked up to the wrong house. I don't know if she was trying to find a friend's house or something. And this guy was not- not having it. Not having a woman in his driveway, uh, simply walking up toward the house. Um, Roman Rawicki, he's currently in jail on charges of attempted murder, false imprisonment, criminal mischief, battery, and discharging a firearm on residential property. Now, this woman walked up the driveway, realized she was at the wrong address, and this guy just grabs her, you know, throws her on the ground. She, uh, you know, gets up and starts running away, so he shoots at her 17 times [laughs]. I guess he's not a good shot, thankfully, 'cause as far as I can tell, uh, doesn't say anything about her actually being hit by any of the bullets. Um,

but yeah. He just said he was worried. He was worried for his family's safety. Uh, they looked at some video footage showing the woman approaching in a non-threatening manner, according to the article here, um [laughs]. Just seems like a- a- a bit excessive, you know,

for how to handle somebody being in your driveway. I- I don't know what's going on with people these days. You know, we had the person killed

after doing ding-dong ditch last week. Like, it's okay to take a breather, all right?

You know, just 'cause somebody shows up in your driveway doesn't mean they're out to get you. [laughs] Ugh. I mean, I get annoyed when people come to my house, don't get me wrong. You know? Somebody knocking at my door, it's- it's annoying. Like, why are you here without, uh, you know, calling me first? But, not gonna bust out the firearm, you know? You simply see what's going on, okay? [laughs] And then if you're threatened, you can call the authorities. You know, you can call the cops. You know, it's not- not necessarily the best choice to just take things into your own hands,

but people are crazy. People are nuts. All right, anyway. Almost 7:00. Hopefully the day goes by quick. Hopefully Monday is treating me well so far.

Morning, people. What's up? It's the Victor Wilt Show. Ugh. I'm feeling like a- a mess today. [laughs] You know, it just definitely feels like a Monday. And then, uh, I was just reminded, something dumb I did last night. Ah, so embarrassing. My girlfriend made this delicious meal, you know, whips up an awesome dinner. And I'm walking into my living room with a plate of food and just spill it all over my couch, the entire plate. Just- just spill it all over my couch. And,

uh, you know, was like, "Ah, de- I'll still eat it," blah, blah, bl- She's like, "No, let me get you a fresh plate." She cleaned up my mess. Just like, ugh. What a disaster. What an idiot. Anyway, just some mornings, you know?You just gotta, uh, beat yourself up mentally. [laughs] Definitely feeling like a Monday today, but, oh, well. I'll survive. Anyway, I hope you didn't do anything dumb last night. [laughs] I hope you're feeling good and positive about yourself this morning. Uh, yeah. Just a long busy weekend, and, uh, yeah, I think I need a nap. Don't I say that every day, though? I think I say that about this time every day. [sighs] Time to coffee up. Way too much to get done around here. Anyhow, [laughs] just wanted to let you know, I, you know, I'm an idiot. Maybe it'll make you feel a little bit better about yourself this morning. You know? Could be worse, I guess. I mean, there's certainly worse things you could do than spill your food, but... Oh, so embarrassing. Anyway, um, I'm gonna keep digging into the news. It's, uh, kind of disappointing so far, digging into the news. Like, did nothing crazy happen over the weekend? There had to be something dumb that happened, aside from me, you know, just existing. [laughs] Anyway, I'll be back. [heavy metal music] Hey, you want some free Mudvayne tickets? Hooking those up yet again this week. I think it's our final giveaways as well, so if you're looking for freebies, you need to be listening closely. If you hear us play back-to-back tracks from Mudvayne, Static-X, or Vended, when the second song starts, be caller number 20, we'll hook you up with free tickets to the show. Now, it's going down October 3rd. You can get details at our event calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar

'cause not everybody's gonna win, but everybody should go. Show's gonna be amazing. If you've never seen Mudvayne live, they kill it. Static-X, the same. Vended, I'm excited to see. Haven't seen 'em live before. But, uh, lots of good shows coming up. Lots of fun giveaways coming up. Gotta wait to tell you about the other ones. But

that's what we're doing this week, so keep listening for your chance to win. I hope you do win and get to go to the show for free. [heavy metal music] All right. Maybe there will be something interesting in this thread here. What's a cheat code you discovered in real life that actually works? All right. Wish there was a cheat code to make the day go by quicker. Doubt we're gonna find one of those. I guess keep busy. That's how you make the day go by quick, huh? All right. Well, let's see what we got for cheat codes in real life. Compliment people in minor ways. Yeah, I mean, that is a good way to make people be, you know, nice to you. You know, just don't be weird about it, all right? You know? Nice, minor compliments, kay? Don't be a, don't be a creep. Uh, let's see here. This guy says, "Whenever I'm tired and my inner negative voice comes out, I've started announcing to myself, 'Oh, look, the..." well, I can't say that word. We'll just say, "'the jerk is here,' and it shuts it up and I have a much nicer internal dialogue." Okay. That's, uh, that's gonna be handy for me today. [laughs] That's what I will start saying to myself. I'm having one of those mornings where I'm beating myself up. So, "The jerk's here. Shut up, me." All right. Let's see here. Oh, when you're dealing with customer service? Yeah. Like, be polite. Simply being polite to customer service can get you a long ways. I mean, sometimes you have to make those calls. Like, there's one company in particular, I won't name, that for a while I was having to call every single month because of billing problems, and even though it infuriated me and it was an hour on the phone every single month, I was still always nice to 'em and I always got my stuff fixed. You start just screaming at 'em, you're, you're not gonna get anywhere. All right? Yeah. Being polite goes a long way. Let's see. Chill out when driving. Yeah. There have been a few times recently where I was frustrated. You know, getting stuck in traffic. You know, stopped, you know, on the freeway. Taking me, uh, three times as long to get where I need to go. But I did not start raging, because then you're just sitting there mad. All right? And like I told the story last week about, uh, Peaches, you know, losing his mind on his way to the airport. And I'm like, "Dude, we can't do anything about it. Be patient. Settle down." 'Cause then, you know, everybody else in the vehicle with you starts getting frustrated as well. You know? If you're, if you're just raging... Let's see. Walking daily clears your head more than half the advice online.

Maybe that's what I need to do. Go for a walk. You know? I don't know. Right now, I feel like I wanna, uh, walk, [laughs] walk straight to, uh, my bed and take a nap. Ugh, Mondays. Let's see. Compliment people behind their back. Yeah, it's better than talking crap behind peoples' back. [laughs] Stop watching 24 hours news channels. 24-hour news channels. Yeah. Y- you know the people who sit there and watch, you know, whatever their favorite news is all day. That'll make you crazy. [laughs] Let's see. Saying I don't know enough about that to have an opinion instantly makes people respect you more. Yeah. Yeah, it's okay to, to not know. Let's see. This says it's easy to make people like you. All you have to do is ask about things that matter to them. Spend more time inquiring about their lives than talking about your own, and you're golden. Yeah. Nobody wants to listen to somebody just talk about

themselves all day, right? I guess unless you listen to this show and you enjoy listening to me, uh, complain and beat myself up on a Monday morning.[heavy metal music] I appreciate you tuning in. [laughs] Let's see. This person says they've received free replacement when things are out of warranty. Oh, they're just being nice to customer service. Again, that, the... I think that, uh, this whole thread breaks down to, you know, being nice goes a long ways. All right? So try to be, uh, cool to people today, you know? It's Monday. People are probably, you know, dealing with the fair food hangover. Yeah. Too many sweets. Too many sweets. All right. I gotta find some, like, freak news and stuff. I'll be back. [rock music] Just feeling a little bit off this morning, but at least a wild boar did not bash through my back door and hang out in my house for an hour like, uh, happened to this guy here. Uh, wild boars, they're, they're mean. All right? I don't know if you're aware of this, but they could, uh, really mess you up. You know, we might from time to time hear of bears getting in people's houses around here or something like that. But, uh, thankfully, no wild boars. This one, when it busted into this guy's house in Florida, went through his, uh, you know, like patio door. Just broke through the glass, and then it just stood there for an hour eating broken glass. An animal that eats broken glass, th- to me, that's frightening. All right? And the guy just sat there doing puzzles, you know? Just hanging out, checking out the wild boar. Uh,

I mean, I guess eventually he called the, the cops to come deal with it [laughs] 'cause it wouldn't leave. It just sat there eating broken glass, but... Geez. Bizarre. Uh, let's see here. What else we got? Oh, the orcas are attacking boats again. Off the coast of Spain, they've got these, uh, pods of killer whales that are fed up with people, and they're trying to figure out why they're doing this, why they're, you know, sinking boats and things like that, and some of 'em, these researchers believe they're just having fun. Nah, nah. Clearly, they're fed up with people, kind of like wild boars, you know? Chewing on broken glass. You know? We're, we're, we're gonna start seeing more wild boar problems, I predict, 'cause they're, like, spreading across the country. They're, uh, like, a pretty invasive species. Um, hope we don't have to deal with that around here anytime soon. I mean, uh, don't have to worry about orcas attacking us either, but, um, at least they're not eating people yet. They're just sinking boats. [gentle music] All right. What else do we have here?

"What is the fourth-best city in America?" [laughs] Apparently there's a debate, according to the BBC, and everybody knows the top three, New York, LA, and Chicago, but w- who's number fo-... Really? [laughs] We're number four? I, I don't think there's a actual debate going on about this. I think the news is really hard up for content, just like my radio show today. Yeah, not a lot going on. [laughs] Uh, let's see. They think it could either be Washington DC, San Francisco, Atlanta, or Boston. All right, there you go. In case you were wondering. [laughs] All right. Nah. We got a Florida bartender who... Geez. I guess got in an argument with a patron over a bar tab, and, you know, this was at Grumpy's Underground. Well,

fitting name for a place with a bartender with this kind of, uh, attitude. "You know, you get into an argument with a customer about a bill. What do you do? Stab him 10 times." Um,

I think the person's alive, right? Um,

yeah, yeah. They're, they're a- they're alive, but, uh,

seems a little bit excessive. Oh, and he made crude remarks about the victim's dead mother [laughs] after stabbing him 10 times. Um, well,

I guess, uh, they got through the argument. Don't stab people, okay? Settle down. Be chill. It's not a reasonable response. Oh, how appropriate. New Jerry Cantrell, "I Want Blood." [rock music] Well, if you got friends who maybe tend to get belligerent from time to time, you should probably avoid inviting them to your wedding. You know, if they got a bit of a drinking and rage problem... Guy at a, uh, Pennsylvania wedding, he's in jail.

They, I guess, cut him off from booze. Like, "You've had enough, dude. No more," and he got mad, so he punched the b- bride right in the face. Geez. And then, uh, bunch of other people, you know, tried to

get the guy under control, so he, uh, you know, he just started swinging. He, uh, you know, attacked four people, uh, and according to the police, his actions caused a public inconvenience [laughs]. Really? Uh, that's one way to put it. So, uh, yeah, just be careful who you invite to your wedding. [laughs] I... We all know people who, yeah, they get the, the booze in 'em, and then they just get mad. They're not fun. They're not fun. You don't want 'em at your wedding, all right? So... Poor bride, you know, just trying to have her special day. I'm... [laughs] I'm sure she's not stoked. Anyway,

just a little bit of advice for you. You know, think about who you invite to, you know, a- any type of event, all right? Maybe you're just having a barbecue, [laughs] all right? You know, you don't wanna deal with potentially getting punched in the face.

[rock music] Well, what's a Florida man do when he gets upset at the grocery store 'cause he wants to cut in line?

Bust out the bug spray, apparently. Geez, people are out of control. Yeah, this couple, they were just at the grocery store

couple Sundays ago, standing in line in check out. And I, I guess the husband, he ran to grab something else while the wife was, uh, loading up the conveyor belt. And this guy shows up and he's like, "Uh, hey, let me cut in." And she's like, "Uh, no." So he got mad, goes outside and waits for him, and [laughs] one- once they get to their vehicle, he runs up to 'em and just mows 'em both down right in the face with bug spray, and then runs away. Um, this was a, a 65-year-old man, [laughs] th- that did this. Uh, I guess it was bad enough that the, the husband, he had to actually go to the, uh, hospital to get some kind of a medical treatment. Uh, yeah, being charged with two counts of aggravated battery with great bodily harm. Ugh, you know, going to Walmart's bad enough. Can you imagine? You get through it, you're outside, you're finally ready to leave, then it's bug spray to the face. Ugh.

Right? Again, you know, if you're having a rough day, could be worse. Could be worse, all right? [rock music] What do you want? I'm here to give you more work. I turned the wrong mic on. Every time. I know. Every time. You'd think we've learned. Every single time. And this is my mic. Well, there you go. It's on now, all right? You, you know who number two is. I do know [laughing] who number two is. [laughs] He'll be back tomorrow. [laughs] I think he's back and he's- Yeah, I think he- ... probably listening to the show, "Oh, they're talking crap about me. Oh." Don't you ever call me number two.

[laughs] Well, how was Jade Davis's weekend? Uh, l- yard work. Yard work. Since I hadn't mowed my lawn for, like, a month because I couldn't walk it. Oh, that's right. You couldn't walk, you had a messed up foot. And, I mean, are we telling that story on air yet? Yes, sir. Okay. I burned down my Razor. Jade- And my foot ... burnt down his Razor and his foot. [laughs] The, the footage, if, if you haven't seen it, on Jade's Facebook page, it's crazy. [laughs] I was showing it to Lieutenant Crane on Friday. Yeah. I'm like, uh, 'cause I think he asked what happened to you 'cause I said something about your foot. And I was like, "Well, look at this." And that video of the Razor in flames is just nuts. It's crazy. [laughs] And Jade- Spontaneous combustion. Oh, man. Your foot, the images you have on there too, disgusting. [laughs] Nothing like second and third degree burns all the way around your ankle. Oh, yeah. And, and having to get a skin graft. Yeah, they put dead people's- Yeah ... skin on you. They- Cadaver. Jade's got some random dead person's- [laughs] ... skin fused to his leg now. Zombie. [laughs] Zombie foot. Well, I'm glad it's been doing better. Yep. Uh, I read a story earlier about a guy who hadn't mowed his lawn in quite a while and found a dead guy [laughs] in the yard. [laughs] My mind wasn't quite that long. [laughs] That's a lot of grass. That's, I know, I was like, "I better go mo- mow my lawn. What's back there?" [laughs] Dog poop. [laughs] There's, yeah, I'm sure there's plenty of that. Lots of number two. Lots of number two. Need to get a shovel. Uh, not used to that. [laughs] Just run it over with your lawn mower. No. [laughs] If I had, if it was a little dog like yours, sure, but- By the time I mow my lawn, they're just part of the lawn. Yeah. [laughs] That, that, that wouldn't be a problem at all. No, these are big logs. [laughs] Lo- lots of victors back there. Ugh. [laughs] I have so much crap I need to do around my house. [laughs] I'm so tired. [laughs] All I've been doing, Jade, go, go, go, go, go, you know? But that's what you gotta do sometimes. What you get. Ugh. Yeah, we were talking about my, my old days- [laughs] ... hiding in a dark empty house, just sleeping in the recliner, being lazy. [laughs] Nothing, nothing empty about your house now. No. Except for your soul. It, it's a zoo in there. [laughs] It's a zoo. There's animals everywhere. [laughs] Ugh. Well, but have you ever heard of this, uh, show they do in Alpine called Reggae in the Rockies? Nope. I hadn't heard of it either, but on Friday- Sounds like a lot of hippies. It was a lot of hippies, dude. A lot of phin-e-uses all over the place. It was a lot of hippies. And you, I think you would've liked this event though. It was actually pretty cool. Um, I mean, it was packed. I don't know how many people were there, but it, it was a big event and, like, everybody's all camping out and stuff, you know? Just smelling up the place. Stinking the place up.

[laughs] It was actually pretty fun. Bumped into a, a whole bunch of, uh, K-BAR listeners there and stuff. I'm like- Like I said, just stinking up the place. [laughs] Just stinking up the place. [laughs] Yeah, it was a, it was a busy weekend. And then the fair, which I know you went to Saturday as well. Yep. That place was stinking up the place too. Oh, dude, there, there was too many people. And too many- We've had too many people ... too many smells at that place. Oh, man. Yeah, uh, it got so crowded, I just was like, "Nope." [laughs] "Nope. Done. Leaving." [laughs] "Enough of this." [laughs] Get, people, you get. So, yeah. Can I take a nap, dude? Nope. Why not? 'Cause I have more work for you. Uh, no. [laughs] I don't want more work. I've got enough work to do, Jade. I have- [laughs] ... ugh, dubbing. Oh, yeah. Ugh. Make sure to dub it twice. [laughs]

Might as well. [laughs] Might as well. I'm the king of wasting time. [laughs] Could've been dubbing all last week. Ugh. Anyway, I hope everybody's having a good day. Jade, you, you get, all right? No. You get on out of here. [laughs] [rock music] You know, sometimes I read these stories about Gen Z, and I'm like-Is this real or did some old person just write it 'cause they're just cranky about young people? [instrumental music plays] This one claims that Gen Z is running out of fuel in their vehicles because they're scared to fill them up. Half of those who reported refuel anxiety said they have asked a partner or family member to fill up their cars for them. Yeah, th- this survey claims that nearly two thirds of young people get anxious when it comes to refueling their cars. Yeah, let's see. They report fears over parking close enough to the pump, identifying the correct type of fuel, or competently operating the, the nozzle. Yeah, they say it, uh, stems from worries related to the fear of making a mistake in public. I, I don't buy this [laughs]. I don't buy this. Well, okay, let's say y- you lived in Oregon where they, you know... I, I think they still pump the gas for you there. Or, maybe they don't. You know, I don't know. I haven't been to Oregon in a while. But I guess I could understand if you've never pumped gas being a little bit concerned, but how scary is it to go to the, the gas station? Sure, the prices suck. That's the only fear I have, you know, looking at the numbers

at the end of the fueling, you know, getting mad. But, uh, I, I don't think I've ever talked to a person who said they were afraid of going to the gas pump. So, I, I ain't buying this [laughs]. I think some boomer just wrote it 'cause they wanted to complain about young people.

But who knows? Could be wrong. Maybe I'll post it as a question in the KBAR group, "Hey, if you're under 25, are you afraid to fill up your car?" Yeah, anyway, probably just another, uh, desperate reporter had to come up with some kind of story, you know? Got to get that news out there.

Anyway, I hope your morning's going good so far. Plenty more to come on this program. I'm here for another 50 minutes, so

try to play you some good tunes and find some good crap to talk about. I'll be back. [instrumental music plays] Well, congratulations to the two winners in Missouri and Texas who won the Powerball jackpot. Oh, good for you! Yeah, I forgot I had, uh, picked up a ticket, so I checked my numbers here a few minutes ago and,

as usual, didn't match a single number [laughs]. So, there you go. Chucking a couple bucks in the garbage, as always, when it comes to, uh, gambling for me. Now, I was reading this article, "How To Increase Your Odds Of Winning The Powerball Jackpot." It was the dumbest article ever. It was basically, "Buy more tickets." [laughs] Well, no kidding [laughs]. Who's getting paid to write these articles? This was from the New York Post, too, you know, a p- a pretty major publication. Yeah, improving your odds is as simple as buying more tickets [laughs]. I, I don't think they should be putting that information out there, all right? Some people have gambling problems [laughs], all right? "I got... I'm gonna win!" Y- your odds of winning Powerball, th- they're not good, okay? They're not good at all. Just buy one as a goof. You know, you can dream for a few... "Oh, can you imagine what it'd be like if I won?" Okay, back to reality. Anyway, I hope, uh, if you picked a ticket up that you won something, you know? That you matched a number. Or, what do you need, match like two? I don't know, I never win, so I don't even know what it takes to win. I never match a single number, they just go right into the garbage. Anyway,

good for them. Back to, back to the grind. It's what we gotta do, you know? Just keep trudging ahead. [instrumental music plays] Um, are you weird looking? Well, then don't bring a bunch of cash with you on a flight, they'll take your money. Happened to this dude. Now, he did have a lot of money on him, he had $8,000 cash, which seems a bit excessive. But apparently, with the green hair he had, they thought he looked suspicious. So, the DEA just, they took his $8,000. Then, he had to fight in court, you know, back and forth. Ended up spending 15 grand to get his $8,000 back. That doesn't seem fair, but he says, you know, "It's a little bit of justice." Uh, I don't... You'd think that they'd have to

have more of a reason than just, "You look suspicious," you know? 'Cause some people are just weird looking, all right? I'm kind of weird looking. You know, I, I always seem to get hassled when I'm traveling. They want to rip my bag apart and... You know, it's like, it's a CPAP, all right? L- look, you see these all the time. Do you really need me to take everything ou-? Oh, fine. Okay, I need to get where I'm going. But yeah [laughs], I mean, the chances of me having $8,000 in my pocket are basically nil, so I ain't very worried about money being taken by, you know, anybody at the airport [laughs]. So yeah, just a heads up, if you're weird looking, they'll take your dough. So, you know, wait till you get to your destination to hit the ATM and get your $8,000... Why,

why do you need that much cash? It does seem suspicious. But still, shouldn't be able to just take your money. Ugh. All right, well, got about 20 minutes left. See what else I can find. I know I can play some more music, and I'll do so in just a minute. [instrumental music plays] Thank you again for tuning into The Victor Wilt Show.
