The Viktor Wilt Show

Speaker 1: Well hello and good morning. How are my peeps? Welcome to the Viktor Wilt Show. Thursday. Alright. Getting a little bit closer to the weekend, that's good. Yeah I uh, had a rough one yesterday. Feeling pretty decent today so far. Hopefully an energetic and fun filled show coming your way today.

Guess it depends on the old content situation, but I'm optimistic. Cause it's Thursday. Then one more day and then the glorious weekend cannot wait. So hope you had a good evening.

Yesterday. Mine was pretty uneventful. Did a little bit of uh, I mean I didn't accomplish much. I did change over some laundry and start a new load. Yeah.

And then I don't know, somehow the evening just blew on by. Oh yeah, dealing with a bunch of crap. Ugh.

Sometimes when you gotta prep with people's crap. So annoying. Not gonna get into it. Even though it would be fun.

It'd be fun to get into it, but now, now not gonna do it. But geez, some people just need to settle down, get it together, move on, shut up. So other than that, uh, yeah. Just gotta find crap to share with you on the old program today. And uh, I hope you'll wish me luck in doing so. Lots of good music lined up. And hopefully again lots of good content.

We'll see. Man, it's amazing how much better the morning goes when you're not like just completely exhausted. Seems to be moving at a decent pace. Hopefully today goes by quickly. I don't know about you, but I'm ready to be done with the workday.

Only eight hours to go. Yeah. Alright.

Let's see what we got here. Somebody asked online, how would you feel if someone offered you $10,000 because you're ugly? I'd be feeling pretty good.

I'd be feeling $10,000 richer. If anyone wants to just take video of me and be like, you're ugly, you disgust me. You make me want to vomit.

And then they give me $10,000. You can post it everywhere. I'll sit there and accept, you know, all of your horrible statements. Give me that 10 G's. Yeah. Alright, what else do we have here? What else was I looking at online? I had a bunch of tabs open.

What's going on here? Okay. What's something harmless that gets people weirdly upset? Alright, let's take a look. How other people like their food. Yeah, some people get really passionate about that. Yeah. Like, I get it if you don't like something, but some people will lose their minds. Like, alright, let's say you're vegan.

Alright. Who cares, right? Let people eat what they want. Some people lose their minds about vegans.

Yeah. I don't understand it. Or like pineapple on pizza. What? Oh, you disgust me. You're a sick human being. You're ugly.

Here's $10,000. Um, yeah, who cares? Like, I'm glad my girlfriend isn't too judgy.

I put ketchup on a lot of stuff. She just laughs at me for it. She doesn't go, what are you, five? What's wrong with you? Ketchup's good. When I eat those breakfast sandwiches later, what do you think I'm going to put on them? Yeah, it ain't hot sauce.

Let's see. What are other harmless things that get people weirdly mad? Choosing not to drink alcohol. Um, yeah, if somebody doesn't want to drink, who cares? You know, maybe they're not as fun.

No, just kidding. Like, I don't know. They're making a healthy choice. Like booze is not good for you. And it's, you know, strangely very addictive. Very addictive and hard to get off of. I mean, you can like, just kill over and die if you just stop too suddenly.

If you've gotten in too deep, let people who don't want to drink, not drink. Who cares? Okay, we got a caller. Hey, there, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this? You want to pick your chat? Chad, what do you got that's harmless that gets people weirdly angry?

Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, I was just calling to talk about the food thing. Did you said that? And all of a sudden, like all the hairs went up on the back of my neck.

Speaker 1: The food thing. Okay.

Speaker 2: It is. I had a co-worker. He asked, he's like, Hey, I'm having this barbecue. You want to come over, blah, blah, blah, this and that. And I go over there and I'm all, you know, like cheerful, whatever, you know, we go to start making the hamburgers and he's got fresh meat. And I'm like, cool, great, you're going to make your own patties.

Awesome. But then he's just out there with like raw hamburger hands and he starts grabbing all the cheese and I'm like, I don't want any, like, I want to be like, I was like, I don't, I'll grab my own stuff. Don't worry about it. And so I like, just, I just had like a hamburger on a plate, because at least it got cooked on the barbecue and didn't get touched. But it is, like you said, I like relived the whole moment when you said that.

Speaker 1: Yeah, you just made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck too. Yeah, that that's disgusting.

Speaker 2: Nobody said either. Like there was like plenty of other people there and not one person was like, hey, maybe go wash your hands or something. They were all like, no, this is fine. This is just what you do.

Speaker 1: You know, that's a nightmare to me. You know, I've gotten food poisoning a few times and it sucks. It's terrible. Oh, man.

Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I've had food poisoning. I've worked in the food industry and it's just like, why would you do that? You know, but everybody was just so nonchalant and like, like nothing's happening and I'm over here just like internally panicking and freaking out.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I would, I would have lost it. I don't think I would have even been able to eat the burger patty. I would have been so disgusted. I would have left. But like, I ain't hanging out with these people.

Speaker 2: Savages. I considered it.

Speaker 1: Oh, well, yeah, thank you for disturbing me at seven a.m. I appreciate it.

Speaker 2: To be fair, it's not the first time that you've disturbed me at seven a.m. in the morning. OK, OK, good, good.

Speaker 1: That's fair. Oh, I hope you have a good day, man.

Speaker 2: You do the same, man. I got to go work with that guy now.

Speaker 1: Oh, great. Tell him he's disgusting. I mean, I still have never told him. You should tell him. I was talking about you on the radio and your disgusting cooking habits. Wash your hands. Wash your hands.

Speaker 2: I'll thank you later, Victor.

Speaker 1: I'll see you, man. Peace. Bye. Oh, nightmare fuel, I tell you. Wash your hands when you're you can't touch other food with raw meat hands. Oh, OK, let's get back to this list. Harmless things that make people weirdly angry. Oh, phones. Yes, some people are very passionate about phones. You know, Android is the best. No, iPhone is the best.

Who cares? Like, I've gone back and forth on what kind of phone I use, whichever company has made me mad the most recently. That's the one I'm not using. Like, prior to the phone I currently have, which is an iPhone, I had a Samsung and it's a bit of a lemon. All right, it was a dud and it made me very, very angry. So I switched iPhone. I'm sure eventually the iPhone is going to make me mad.

I'll switch back, give a Samsung another whirl. Yeah, who cares? How some people like their coffee. Oh, yeah, people are very passionate about that because like around here, you know how I make my coffee.

It's not hot. It's instant coffee and I just slam it down to get the energy. And people are very disgusted by that. I mean, that's not even coffee. It's made from 100 percent pure instant coffee. That's what it says on the package. K-Bare, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this? This is your wife. My wife. Hi. How are you?

Speaker 3: I just wanted to say I don't wash my hands every time I cook you dinner. So what? Oh, this is not good.

Speaker 1: This is not good. She's lying to she's lying because she is very particular about being proper in the kitchen. I've watched her cook. I'm like, OK, one of the arguments we get in, I wouldn't call it an argument. We don't really argue. But one of the discussions we've had is should you wash chicken before you cook it? And I'm like, no, because then you're just, you know, the water is spraying off the chicken. You're just getting the chicken bacteria all over the place. It's like, just cook it and it'll cook the bacteria out. Don't wash the chicken. But she insists.

And you know what? I didn't like lose my mind about it. But to me, washing chicken, no, I'm going to go. That's that's pointless. And it spreads bacteria. That's the only way I can think of that she, you know, I wouldn't say bothers me in the kitchen because it doesn't bother me. It's not like, you know, you're going to die because you wash the chicken. I just don't think it's necessary. You know, would you wash your ground beef? Yeah, it's horrible.

As far as eating it raw goes or undercooking it. All right, what else do we have here? And now we're getting into political stuff.

OK, this thread quickly went off the rails and went downhill. That sucks. Hmm. Hmm.

How other people like their food, like having a steak well done. Yeah, like, go ahead. I don't care. I mean, I would not want my steak well done. But if you want it that way, go for it. All right, you want to you want to have pineapple on your pizza? I don't care. You want mushrooms on your pizza?

I think they're disgusting. But you be you. Oh, geez. I think it's time for us to play the legal idea and play some music. Let's go. K-Bear, how's it going?

Speaker 3: Oh, it's not going too bad. I thought a few different things that are probably harmless that make other people angry for some reason. All right, what you got? First one had to be maybe food related still. And I don't know why this irritates people. When you want to be nice and stack your dishes on the table for the server. Oh, that makes some people mad.

I've had some family get irritated with me and ask me why I do that. Well, that's what they get paid for. I'm like, yeah, but we kind of made a mess. Like, let's be nice. And if we want to leave a tip, that way it's not just getting stuck in like syrup or something.

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. And I've had a lot of family and friends that work in, you know, serving work as waiters, waitresses, bartenders and yeah, stacking up the plates. It's like, why not?

Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, would you would you not do the same thing really at home? Would you just leave an absolute disaster in your own kitchen without. Stacking stuff in the sink or something, you know, I guess maybe that's my thought process.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I always tend to stack the stuff up as well. Try to make it easy on them. Why not? Why not just be nice?

Speaker 3: That's a good question. Why not be nice? I thought of another one because I'm doing something I probably shouldn't. When you drive the speed limit and everybody passes you like you're standing still.

Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of a funny one, because of course I would never speed. But, you know, at five at about 545 a.m. when there's not very many people out on the roads and people are just creeping along at the speed limit, I might get a little annoyed.

Speaker 3: We're like, I'm ready to get to work. Let's go. I think I like the speed limit today. I think it's 35. Let's do maybe 34. I get a little petty. It's harmless, but I will upset somebody.

Speaker 1: Yeah, doing the speed limit is definitely harmless and people sometimes get very mad about it. Like, you know, go to Utah if you're doing the speed limit on the freeway. People are going to lose their minds.

Speaker 3: That's always scary for sure. But after hearing everybody was like food and like food, harmless. Coffee? Well, dishes. This is very harmless. Why does that upset people? And I'm like, doing the speed limit is sometimes just kind of fun when I'm in the mood to go. I'm going to do just the speed limit if you don't like it. I'll let you go around.

Speaker 1: Yep. Yep. That is harmless. And people definitely get crazy about it. So we'll appreciate the call today and I hope you have an awesome one. Thank you as well. And I hope your coffee stays strong. It's strong enough, I think.

So we'll see. Okay, there you go. Good morning. You too. See you.

Bye. If you're tuning in, we're discussing things that are harmless, that get people weirdly angry. And the discussion about restaurants reminded me of another one. When people get asked to tip in a lot of different situations, some people, they go nuts. They go nuts. Why am I being asked to tip everywhere nowadays? Like you don't have to.

All right. You know, if you're out getting an overpriced cup of coffee somewhere, a $5 coffee, and then they ask for a tip. Like you don't have to tip them. Okay.

Or if you're doing a pickup order at a restaurant and they ask for a tip. Okay. You don't have to. But I tend to tip, you know, most situations. All right.

Just because we live in Idaho and people have, they make crap wages here. All right. If I can toss, you know, a dollar or two into somebody's pocket or whatever.

Why not? You know, if you can't afford to do so at the time. And it's not a situation like you're at a sit down restaurant. Okay. If you are at a sit down restaurant, you need to tip because servers get ripped off.

All right. They make what, like three bucks an hour. I don't remember what the minimum they can make here in Idaho is, but it's like half of minimum wage. Yeah. It's, it's bull crap. And the restaurants should be paying them more.

But that's just how it is. So if you're going to go eat at a sit down restaurant, you need to tip. All right. Stay home and cook if you don't want to tip your server. Okay.

Same thing if you're, if you're at a bar, okay. Tip. It's just part of the deal.

Yes. The drinks can be expensive. It's cheaper to drink at home.

But if you're going to go out and about socialize, I don't know, throw some darts and play some pool or whatever. Tip your servers. All right. And maybe tip somebody to do you just some random thing. Why not? Oh, they're asking me for a donation. You don't have to donate. Okay.

Just if you feel like it, go for it. All right. I don't know if we're going to continue talking about this or what, but I'll be back in a minute.

It's the Victor Willchill. Been talking about harmless things that make people crazy and angry. Talked a bit with JD about tipping culture. Another place you can tip when you're seeing a live performer.

No. You out watching local bands. Maybe you're at the, the bar and they've got a cover band playing. You can give the band a tip. Trust me, they'll appreciate it.

Bands, you know, they don't tend to make a lot of money. So that's another place you can tip. We need a virtual tip jar for the radio show. I don't know if JD will get mad at me if is it against the rules for me to ask for a tip. Now I get up every morning, super early, entertain you. Why don't you tip me?

Give me some money. My Venmo is very easy to figure out. If you had to guess what it would be, that's it's what it is. It's, you know, just my name. So feel free to send me a tip. I need every dollar I can get. Send me a quarter. Come on.

All right. Other harmless things that make people angry. Colored hair. Boy, to some people hate colored hair and I'll never understand that one. Dying your hair a weird color is it's fun. And it's your hair. You can do whatever you want with it. But holy cow, to some people lose their mind about colored hair or tattoos and things like that. Mind your own business.

All right. People can look however they want. It's their body. And they want to get a bunch of tattoos and dye their hair blue.

Just shut up and move along. You go ahead and you know, you keep your, you know, regular old plain how you were born look and be happy with yourself, but let other people do what they want. The blue haired.

Speaker 4: Rawr.

Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever. Maybe you should try dying your hair just for fun and shut up. OK, let's see here. Other things that are harmless to get people mad. Keeping your maiden name when you get married. Yeah, who cares? Right. Now, I think it's cool if someone decides to not keep their maiden name, but also if they want to keep their maiden name, getting married is not about like slapping your name on somebody.

If they want to take your name. Great. If not, is that the reason you're getting married? If so, you probably shouldn't get married. All right.

Let's see. What are some other things that get people crazy that you just don't understand why the word moist? I think people were just told by the internet they're supposed to be bothered by the word moist, and that's why it bothers them. Moist, moist, moist, moist, moist, moist. Hey, you moist taters.

I'm going to say moist again. Being child free. If you don't want to have kids, you don't have to.

You know, somebody doesn't want to have kids. Mind your own business. It's not your life.

Chill out about it. OK, this one's weird. Reading books. This person says they've had complete strangers throw fits over the fact that they were reading a book. I'm guessing if somebody freaks out over you reading a book, they're dumb.

That's what I would think. That's a dumb person who probably needs to read more. Reading books is good for your mind. People need to read more. They tend to only, it seems, most people read memes and headlines. I don't think a lot of people read the articles, and I think that a lot of brains could use the exercise.

People need to pick up a good book and do some some reading. All right, what's another thing that's harmless that gets people weirdly angry? Backing into parking spaces. Now, now, wait a minute. No, it's the people who back into parking spaces that get weirdly mad when you won't do it.

Like I drive a truck and I've had multiple people in this building tell me because I drive a truck, I'm supposed to back into my parking spot. I'm not going to do that. It takes way too long.

All right, I'm busy. I'm just pulling into that spot. Justin and Josh, you guys go ahead and fart around and park backward.

But no, unless I'm pulling on to a busy road from my parking spot, I'm not going to back into my parking space. Let's see here. What are other things that make people mad? Oh, piercings.

Yeah, that goes back to like tattoos and blue hair and things like that. Don't want to, you know, get a piercing. Don't. All right.

But if other people want to get a piercing, it's their body. Shut up. Just shut up and move along. Oh, facts. Another thing that gets people weirdly angry. It does.

Yep. Facts definitely make some people angry. Go look at your Facebook feed. East Idaho news takes the brunt of it all the time. They'll post just news and people are like, you're biased. It's like they're just posting what happened. Shut up.

More people talking about hair color and blah, blah, blah. All right. Let's, uh, I don't know if we're going to continue on. We've been on this topic for quite a while, but I don't know.

It's working easy enough for somebody app about. Nobody likes spiders roaming around their house. Do they? I mean, they're just creepy.

Well, there are a number of ways to deal with them. They got those glue traps, you know, which aren't the most humane way. And also I personally witnessed a hobo spider escaping from a glue trap.

It was a terrifying one way to not get rid of them. Is with fire. Okay. We probably have at least one of these stories a year where somebody set fires inside of their home to try to kill spiders. This guy in a townhouse in Pennsylvania. It just says he lit multiple small fires in his home throughout the day.

And then yeah, the place burned to the ground. Did like get some spray raid. I don't know, call an exterminator. Get a tissue. Yeah.

Get some toilet paper or a paper towel and just grab them and crush them. All right. Fire. No, you don't want to be a burning things inside your home.

You don't want your home to burn to the ground. Okay. So yeah. If you're at a restaurant and they have big antlers hanging over your table, you might want to ask for a different table. Just in case.

Because they can occasionally fall down. I guess a couple was dining at a longhorn steakhouse in Tennessee and they were left with serious bodily injuries when a set of taxidermied antlers came crashing down on them as they just tried to enjoy a steak. So they're of course suing for the medical bills. But as well as the enduring mental anguish. I can't even look at a deer without crying.

No, it's got to suck to have antlers fall on your head. They can be heavy. They can be pretty heavy duty. So don't sit under them.

Let's see here. If you're getting a fight with your significant other, just stay out of the kitchen. We recently had a story about someone hitting their significant other with a frying pan.

This one, both of them hit each other with frying pans. This is another Pennsylvania story. A little quiet town of about 320 people. La Porte, Pennsylvania.

You've got 57 year old Paula Fulmar and her husband Maynard Fulmar, 64 years old. Got in some kind of argument. So she hit him over the head with a frying pan a few times. So he got one and hit her back too. Then she bit him and you know, you guys are too old to be having these kind of physical confrontations. If you're in a relationship that leads to a physical confrontation, you should just leave. Dump them.

That's right. The two frying pans were found in the kitchen. One had a large dent in the bottom.

All right. Who hit the other one harder? Hard enough to dent the frying pan. Anyway, don't don't hit people. It's not nice. Okay.

It's not cute. But I do, speaking of something that is kind of cool, got to give a shout out to the governor of New York state who went ahead and allowed a grandfather to have his, you know, custom license plate approved after they'd turned it down. Here's what the license plate said. I'll spell it out for you. PB4WEGO. Yeah. PB4WEGO.

All right. That's an I would think perfectly acceptable license plate. It goes on a vehicle and you know, if you've dealt with kids on a long road trip, guys, make sure to go to the bathroom before we leave or not stopping in five minutes.

PB4WEGO. So the state had said, no, it's inappropriate. We're going to have to turn that one down. And I guess, you know, their politicians are just as busy in New York as ours around here. Governor took the time to step in and go, listen, this, this plate's cool. I approve of this play. All right. So good, good.

Happy to hear that. And I'm also happy that it's eight o'clock. Days going by at a recent or a decent pace. And hopefully it'll be over in the blink of an eye. Hopefully I find more fun stories to talk about as well.

We'll see. I just stumbled across a Facebook post that annoyed me. I'm in a number of radio groups on there, one of which is called the Broadcasting Club.

Yeah, fun. Somebody asked, what's the preferred length of a midday talk break for a hot AC slash AC station? Now if you're wondering what an AC station is, that would be Classy 97.

My friends down the hall. All right. You want to hear that format? You can check them out.

All right. Josh and Chantel are on air right now doing their thing. It might not be for you music wise, but you can check it out. So anyway, they're asking about midday talk breaks and how long the DJ should babble on. All right. Middays would be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. As you know, here on K-Bear, we do the noon hour of madness and mayhem and peaches and I sometimes talk for a very long amount of time on that particular program. I myself believe that if you've got a good personality on your station, let them talk as long as they've got something to say that's at least somewhat useful.

All right. Because many studies have been done year after year after year. The number one reason people listen to radio is for the personalities because you can get music anywhere. I don't know if you're aware of this, but it's 2026 and there are lots of places you could hear whatever song you want to hear in the blink of an eye in the palm of your hand. So back in the day, people mainly listen to radio for music, but that's shifted over time. Now they mainly listen for personalities.

You start going through the comments from program directors in here and all it just makes me crazy. I'm going to go ahead and say a 30 to 45 seconds are a safe zone. That sounds pretty good to me. You see this post speeches. You hear me talking about it? Yeah.

Speaker 5: One of the joint in on the fun. Yes.

Speaker 1: So everybody commenting in here seems to be saying if you're on mid days on an AC station, you should basically just jump on and go, that song was this and this song is this and be done. One guy said one guy said 14 seconds plus or minus. What's the point of even having a DJ if they're only going to talk for 14 seconds?

Speaker 5: And it's not even the regular voice. It's more like text keyword this.

Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Here's what happened on the morning show that you missed. And then they cut to a little recap of the morning show.

Speaker 5: And then it's always like the I Heart Radio jingle ball brought to you by insert sponsor here.

Speaker 1: Exactly. And I don't want to throw myself under the bus here, but you know, as the day goes on and more people are awake, more people are listening to the radio as the day goes on. So why would you limit your personalities when more people are listening?

Speaker 5: You want them to be your friend at work kind of thing.

Speaker 1: Exactly. Exactly. Let's see. This guy says max 30 seconds. Maximum of 30 seconds. We've probably already been talking for two minutes. All right. Two minutes goes by really fast. 30 seconds is nothing. Like, you know what it's like to make a 30 second commercial. It's just right.

Speaker 5: Yeah. Even doing a break for 30 seconds feels like it's a waste of time.

Speaker 1: Well, yeah. Yeah. Like you might as well not talk. And I don't know if I should chime in here. You should. This is just ridiculous. 15 to 30 seconds. Yeah. If the first eight seconds isn't hooking the audience, the length of the rest of the break doesn't matter. What are you supposed to say in eight seconds to hook the listener?

Speaker 5: If all of you, if you don't comment, I will. And then I'll leave you comment saying all of you need to just perish. And I'll put a gift of Thanos snapping his fingers.

Speaker 1: I like this guy. I like Corey Hartman's response. Less than 30 minutes. That's the appropriate response there. Oh, here we go. Less is more. Less is more. All right. You know what the most popular podcast for his wife?

Speaker 5: Oh.

Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody's ever listened to one of the most popular podcasts in the land, the Joe Rogan show, but they talk for three hours.

Speaker 5: It's just two guys doing a little, you know, talking for four hours.

Speaker 1: And a lot of time they're talking about nothing. Right. Yeah. They're still babbling on about COVID. It's doing pretty well that program. No kidding. Hundred million dollars. Maybe somebody's calling to tell us to shut up and play more music. It's probably Jane.

Probably. K-Bear, you're live on the program. Who's this? Hey, what's up, boss? Hey, it's Stuart. What's on your mind, Stuart?

I just want to say three hundred and thirty-two. Stuart, see, this is the type of thing that the program director would be driven crazy by. Your phone isn't working very well. You're going to have to take us off Bluetooth and give it another whirl because we can't understand anything you're saying. You did not hook the listeners in the first eight seconds of talking. Can you hear me? Yeah, we can hear you.

Speaker 6: Yeah, I was just saying one of the reasons I listened to K-Bear is because of personality breaks.

Speaker 1: Well, that's the main reason people listen to radio, which is why I think talking for 15 seconds is a waste of time. I'll try this out. I'm trying to sound good. He just, none of your breaks today can be longer than 15 seconds. All right. You better get that word out on make the switch as quickly as possible.

Speaker 6: Ugh. But yeah, I do kind of tend to tune out when there isn't a period when there isn't a DJ. Yeah.

Speaker 1: I mean, I wish we had DJs on 24 seven, but we ain't got the budget for that. Well, Stuart, your phone's being a real turd. Hey, cool. Yeah, let you go. All right, dude. Peace out. Poor Stuart. Oh, man. How long has this break been? It's probably too long. Probably too long.

Speaker 5: Start a stopwatch and let's see if you can say win a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle. Thanks to break your own law in 15 seconds.

Speaker 1: All right. This guy says, listen to New York. The jocks will tell you a ton in 15 seconds. Why? They're probably making bank these New York jocks that talk for 15 seconds. They're probably making so much money.

Speaker 5: They're probably on that list of the top 20 best radio DJs and metal.

Speaker 1: Top 20 shows. Here we go. These guys, they do 15 seconds.

Speaker 5: I listened to Nick Carter for a little bit. Who's number seven on that list. Yeah. He talks for more than 30 seconds for sure. Yeah. But he's the afternoon show host.

Speaker 1: Exactly. Afternoons is different than middays for no reason whatsoever.

Speaker 5: Please tell me their voice track did not actually live during these shifts. Middays? Middays are generally voice track. They have to be because if you're only talking for that long, you can't have someone sitting in there for five hours waiting for waiting after like a 20 minute long commercial break and then play one song.

Speaker 1: Could you imagine being able to get your show done for the whole day in four minutes? You just sit down, record, record, record, record 15 seconds at a time. All right. I did my job.

Speaker 5: Give me that back paycheck. I know some people that do very fast pre-recorded shows. They need to kick it up a notch. And they put on a fake accent.

Speaker 1: Kick it up a notch and find something to say. Engage your audience. Take some live calls like, you know, Stewart's Bluetooth, you know, problem-ridden phone call we took.

Speaker 5: See, if there was a PD, they'd be like, you know what? You should screen the callers. See who has the best signal, best sound and then record them in Vox Pro and then edit it to where it's a little chunk of that call. Exactly. And then go right into the next song.

Speaker 1: Yeah. When I first started in radio, I was taught never put a caller on live. And I thought that was crazy. So eventually I started putting callers on live. And that's why we now have the dumb button system.

Shout out, Michael. That cost our company a good chunk of change to install. But I will give management props for installing it so we can take live callers rather than just telling us, no, pre-record every call, edit them and play them back. Because it's radio. You should be able to take live calls. No?

Speaker 5: Look at Howard Stern. Yeah. Look at the most successful radio DJ of all time. Yeah.

Speaker 1: He took a caller to in his day.

Speaker 5: He did. He still does. Those compilations on YouTube of Howard versus callers. And I can tell you, these things are like hours long. And it's him screaming back and forth at people on the phone. Yeah.

Speaker 1: But I need to open up the K-Bear complaint line so we can yell at listeners back and forth a little bit. It's been a while. They won't do it though. I know. Every time I'm like, come on, call and complain. People won't do it. They love us too much.

Speaker 5: They love us. They're some people that like making like snide comments on our Facebook and then they hide.

Speaker 1: Yeah, call and let's do it live. It's way more fun to do it live than do it in a Facebook comments section.

Speaker 5: Wait till you see the meme that I have ready to go. Yeah? I don't know if I should even post it on the K-Bear group.

Speaker 1: Well, I'll check it out. Yeah. I'll check it out. Okay. All right. Okay. I think we talked long enough for that break. So we're going to play another song and then I'm going to talk some more right after that song. So I was reading through this post online about the most interesting rabbit holes people have gone down and I stumbled across something that I thought would be just good to read to you because, you know, people get stuck in their ways and you can always change.

You know, you can change the person you are at any time in your life. Okay. I'm going to read this post. I don't know how it was a rabbit hole. Somebody went down, but I think what they had to say was good. All right.

Here we go. The idea that most of what you call your personality is just branding you accidentally committed to. You think you're introverted or ambitious or lazy or disciplined, but if you rewind far enough, most of it traces back to random reinforcement loops. You got praised for being the smart one once. So you leaned into it. You got embarrassed speaking up once. So you leaned out of it. You had one win in the gym. So now you're into fitness. One bad social phase. Now you're not a people person. At some point you stopped experimenting and started defending the character.

And here's the twist. Your brain hates inconsistency more than it hates being wrong. So once you say, this is who I am, it will quietly filter your behavior to match that identity. You don't act a certain way because that's who you are. You are that way because you kept acting it out.

Then you notice something darker. Entire internet subcultures are just identity accelerators. Pick a label, join a tribe, absorb the script, suddenly your humor, opinions, even your anger patterns.

Sink up with thousands of strangers. It feels authentic, but it's patterned. The real rabbit hole is realizing how much of you is inertia. And the spiciest part, if identity is that plastic, you could rewrite huge parts of yourself. But that would admit, that would mean admitting the current version isn't fixed and that's uncomfortable.

It's way easier to defend the character than to redesign it. That realization messed with me way more than any cosmic theory ever did. That's right.

Everything that was said in that little comment was absolutely correct. Take a look at Facebook. People get trapped in these internet subcultures.

They do get tribal and they do get stuck in a just repeating pattern of thought processes that regardless of other factors that might pop up that could change their mind, they just dig their heels in and stick with it. Just something to think about. You can always change yourself. Okay? You're not any certain thing. All right. Give some other things a chance. All right. Give it a shot. Well, good morning, Peaches.

Speaker 5: What's happening? Well, I just told you off the air. I got my my tax return. Woo!

Speaker 1: Oh, good for you. I was waiting for that. Thank you. Yeah, I've, I've not filed my taxes. I need to get around to gathering up all my things and doing so. But there was that article recently about how state returns were going to take longer than usual. So I was just kind of waiting, but you said you got your state return today.

Speaker 5: Yeah, it only took about a week or so.

Speaker 1: That's not bad at all. Yeah. All right. Well, maybe I'll, I'll get on it. You know, you only got till April 15th. Everybody get them taxes done. Hopefully the government isn't lying and we end up getting bigger returns or, you know, refunds this year.

Speaker 5: I would say this one was bigger than the previous years for sure. Yeah.

Speaker 1: You said in previous years you got zero. And this year you got, we'll just say under $100. Big, yeah. Big money. Something's better than nothing. Every dollar counts. Every dollar counts. So yeah, I don't know. I hate doing taxes, man.

Speaker 5: Well, it's different for you because you have a house. You have a, can you say you're married now?

Speaker 1: Or is that? No, no, because I'm, yeah. You'd have to be legally married and you do get some benefits out of that. But yeah, no, no, you can't just, that's how you get in trouble with the IRS speeches. Everything got to go through the courts. You know, everything got to go through the courts and, oh, dealing with the courts.

So annoying. So anyhow, I'm glad you got your taxes done. I'm glad you brought it up because I've just been putting it off and not thinking about it because it's taxes and it sucks.

Speaker 5: Yeah, it's okay. It's the one W2 and I'm like, okay, cool here. The certain boxes, that's it.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have a lot I got to deal with either. It's usually pretty quick and simple.

Speaker 5: So, well, I was making a imaging with this. So you remember back in 2024, I think it was January 5th. I think I saw the date on the files there when we had listeners give us their best metal scream. Yes. I just, I finally made those imagers. All right, cool. They're all set and ready to go into our library. So if any listener ever wants to give us their best metal screen for imaging, please.

Speaker 1: You can always call us and just scream. I'm down. I can record it 208-535-1015. I heard the Sharon Osborn imager this morning. Oh, good. It was pretty fun. Here's the beer thief. You're the beer thief.

Speaker 5: But was it actually her because we have her also in inspirational messages?

Speaker 1: That's what I meant was inspirational messages.

Speaker 5: I think it was actually the audio of her saying that.

Speaker 1: No, no, it was the instrumental inspirational messages. So, no, that was a fun one.

Speaker 5: Brian said it in a questionable way where he was like, you're the beer thief. Like, come on, you don't know the scene.

Speaker 1: Shame, shame on the voice guy. Well, it's a little after nine o'clock. I'll probably play the Mario sounder again, at least once before the end of the hour. Listen for that. And I just digging up news and crap to share with you. So hopefully the rest of this program doesn't suck too bad.

Speaker 5: Well, you can talk about how Burger King is making, is using AI to make their associates say please and thank you. They're keeping track.

Speaker 1: They're listening to their employees and making sure they say please and thank you.

Speaker 5: Welcome to 1984, pal. Just like how we get listened in Don by Jade. Yeah, he's listening right now.

Speaker 1: It's a calling in. That's probably him. You're talking too long. Dirt. Let's see what this caller wants. You might want to record it. Okay, man. Yeah, you guys looking for it. Sorry. Oh, it's all good, man. Who's this? It's Josh. Josh, did you call with a metal scream? Sure. All right. Let her rip.

Speaker 4: That was pretty good, Josh. Pretty good. Pretty good. We'll hang on to that for K-Bear Imaging. Thank you. All right. You want one for you want a low one? Sure. Let's hear a low one too. All right. Yeah.

Speaker 4: Okay, one pair out there.

Speaker 1: Hey, pretty good. Are you in a local band?

Speaker 4: I used to be a long time ago in Portland, Oregon. Oh, in Toronto. I'm trying to start up. Yeah, right now I'm trying. I've got an album right now. I'm trying to revamp some of that old music. And I'm about to set up a recording studio in my basement. And I got a couple of side gigs going on with some other people.

Speaker 1: Well, make sure to keep me posted on what you're up to, man. I don't want to hear some of that stuff. All right, man. Thanks. All right, dude. Have a good one. There you go, Peaches. You got some good quality screaming for the imaging.

Speaker 5: I was going to say, hopefully he wasn't in a cubicle or something like that.

Speaker 1: Hopefully he was in a cubicle. That's what I'm talking about. Yo, what's up? It's Victor Wilt showing by very quickly. I ain't complaining. Ready for the work day to be done.

Hope yours is going good and quick as well. Well, before I bail, I started reading this post on Reddit and was like, well, might as well just start babbling on about it on air. I haven't finished it, so I don't know if it goes off the rails or what. But one portion of it got my attention that I thought was weird. So the post is, am I a jerk for not telling my husband about my YouTube friend?

All right, for context, I, 29 female, have been married to my husband, 32 male, for 10 years. About six months ago, he was telling me to do a YouTube channel because I love scratching lottery tickets. And I have been seeing a lot of that kind of channels. Well, he was telling me to do a channel, kept bugging me one day in, man, this person doesn't, doesn't type very well. One day in one of the lives that I was watching. Okay, I asked the YouTuber how I could start my own channel.

He asked for my number and we started messaging about that kind of stuff time past and when he became friends, but I hadn't told my husband. Okay. Who is sitting around on YouTube watching people scratch lottery tickets? You got to be kidding me. I mean, I get bored.

All right. I get bored and I watch some useless stuff on YouTube. I actually watched a Papa Meat video just the other day about scratch off tickets, but it was about how scratch off tickets are terrible. People are just doing live videos, just burning their money. Hey, watch me just throw money in the garbage.

Watch me scratch these and just lose money. Wow. So anyway, I guess the husband found some messages and he's mad. Let's see. Did she say any, I don't know. It doesn't say like she said anything inappropriate or things like that.

I don't know if somebody's just helping you start a YouTube channel. It's not that big a deal. Right? Nothing to lose your mind about.

Now if he was like, Hey, I got some ideas for some videos you could make that would be very popular. And you know, then sure. But you know, you got to try to trust your mate, settle down. You know, unless they're stepping out of line, I don't know.

People should be able to talk to other people. Um, maybe, maybe there's something missing in this post here. I don't know. Yeah. She says we only talk about my channel and his channel and links to other live videos and YouTube. Okay. It's called networking.

And if you want to be successful with your online content, you have to network with other people. All right. I'm going to get out of here. Peaches has been bugging me relentlessly to play this song. So I got to do it. I got to go. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show, this program is a production of Riverbend Media Group.
