The Viktor Wilt Show

Hello. Hope you had a good weekend. Mine was pretty pretty good. Not too shabby. What went down this weekend?

Saturday, got up, went and hung out at the Idaho Falls Farmers Market with Katie Lee from z one zero three. Peaches came by and hung out for a bit as well. Thank you, Peaches, for kicking it with me. We, ended up gathering a ton of pet food. I gotta give out a major thanks to everybody who stopped by.

You know, lugging giant bags of cat food from wherever you manage to find parking at the Idaho Falls Farmers Market to bring it to us, that is just very cool. You know? I was whiny about lugging the duffel bag full of, T shirts, hats, and blah blah blah from where, you know, I parked, which was not far at all at all. So, yeah, good times. Beautiful day at the Farmer's Market.

Wasn't too hot, managed to not get sunburned. There was a nice breeze and, yeah, so many people stopped by to say hello. Had had just a great time chatting with, you folks and, maybe we, met some new folks that are gonna tune into this program and the various other programs we have here on KBAR. So that was really cool. And I had a number of people ask about, like, cash donations and things like that.

We were just taking pet food, but our local animal shelters are always taking donations, you know, bring by some, some stuff to drop off, kick them down some cash, you know, year round. I'm sure they can use all of that help. So, yeah, we've got, busy times going on around here. You know, it's summertime. That tends to lead to a lot of activity happening.

For example, coming up, it's gonna be here before we know it, the July 4, which brings, you know, the biggest fourth of July celebration West Of The Mississippi right here to East Idaho, Snake River Landing. I'm talking about the Melaleuca Freedom Celebration. Yeah. Biggest fireworks show West Of Mississippi. We'll be hanging out all day.

Like, I'm gonna be there all day, all day and all night with the Idaho Falls Community Hospital River Fest. So many different activities going on at River Fest. You know, if you're looking to celebrate the fourth, that's where you're gonna wanna be all day long at the Idaho Falls Community Hospital River Fest presented by Idaho Central Credit Union tag and go car wash and Riverbend Media Group. Make sure to bring sunblock. It's been hotter than usual so far this summer.

Bring and drink lots of water. No motorized vehicles, no pets. And, you know, for those little ones, when you got the biggest fireworks show West Of The Mississippi, you're probably gonna wanna protect their hearing a little bit. So some kind of ear protection. And, then they can enjoy their time earlier on at the Stones Kia Kids Zone, and there's gonna be food and truck vendors from all over East Idaho.

Yeah. You don't need to wait for the fair to have fair food. Just come out to the Idaho Falls Community Hospital River Fest. So I hope to see you out for that. Getting all prepared.

Busy next few weeks, but it's gonna be fun. So anyway, I'm gonna get digging into the news here, see what we can find for stupid crap to talk about on this show today. Well, what's up, people? Morning and happy Monday. I hope you're doing good so far.

Just slowly getting moving here, but thing things are going pretty decent, I suppose. Alright. Now we just gotta find content, which generally is fun after the weekend. I don't know. We'll we'll see how it goes.

Right now, I was reading through a list of the animals that people hate most. Why? I don't know. I just clicked on it. I'm like, what animals could people hate so badly?

And right out of the gate, I don't know if I count these as animals like bugs, gnats, for example. Sure. They're annoying, but they're not they're not animals. You know, I what is the official definition of an animal? What is an animal?

Let's see what Google says. Oh, jeez. This is a big scientific explanation here from Wikipedia. Oh my goodness. Alright.

I'm I'm gonna look just look at pictures of animals. Yeah. They they tend to be like, horses, dogs, cats, people. Alright. Let's click on this here.

Okay. I I guess it could count just about anything because here we go. We got, like, sponges, jellyfish, insects, fish, birds, snakes, mouse. Alright. I guess, we'll have to accept insects as animals that are hateable.

So gnats? Yeah. But they're not as bad as mosquitoes. I think, if we're gonna count insects, mosquitoes, the the worst. They kill people, spread disease.

If you're me, you know, and you're allergic to them, it's a miserable time. Anytime you get bites, swell up all huge, feel sick. Okay. We got, it's all gonna be bugs, isn't it? Bed bugs.

Yeah. Terrible. There we go. Mosquitoes. I wanna find something that's not a bug that people hate.

Fleas, centipedes that hang upside down in caves and catch and eat bats. Jeez. I'm not going into a, a cave anytime soon. Cockroaches, maggots, jeez, tapeworms. Okay.

Here's someone who says hippos. Says they sort of make them mad. Can't look like that and be dangerous. Yeah. Hippos will they'll eat people.

They'll eat people. They're super dangerous. Oh, do they not eat people? Says they're vegetarian, not even omnivores. They don't want to eat you.

They just hate you. Okay. So they don't eat you. They just kill you. Alright.

Monkeys. Okay. Yep. Monkeys will rip your face off. So I could understand being a little bit afraid of monkeys.

Okay. Someone trashing on koalas. Alright. They have one of the smallest brain to body ratios of any, mammal. Their brains are smooth, so I guess koalas are dumb.

If you present a koala with leaves picked from a branch laid on a flat surface, they won't recognize it as food. So they're just talking about how stupid they are. And they jeez. This is, like, like, a full article somebody posted with their rant on, koalas. Alright.

Any sort of pest that carries disease. Now we're back to bugs. Crabs that eat the baby turtles. Yeah. That's not very nice, is it?

I mean, it's nature, but, okay. Aggressive dogs owned by inattentive humans. So probably the human. Yeah. I was gonna say the most, hateable animal that could, definitely be people.

Now I don't hate a lot of people. Alright. I tend to get along with everybody if they're willing to have a rational conversation with me. Yeah. Tend to get along with everybody great in person anyhow, at least in person.

But even when I get in discussions, you know, on places like social media, I'm not not gonna attack people. Alright. That doesn't get you anywhere in an argument. You gotta use facts and logic. And if you want somebody to listen to you, you can't just be like, you're dumb.

You suck. You're an idiot. That's that's not gonna go anywhere. Alright? That is not having a discussion.

It's just throwing jabs that are not even that good. If you're gonna throw a jab at somebody at least, you know, make it clever and funny or something. Come on now. Okay there's gotta be better content than this I'm gonna keep trying and a busy Monday here lots to do should I drink more caffeine yet no I'll wait a little bit but thankfully I had caffeine Woke up the other day. No instant coffee at my house before the farmer's market.

Like, this is not how I need to start my day. I need a boost, but I I managed to get energized up before I got there. So hi. How's Monday? It's a low content day.

I'll tell you that. Jeez. What is going on here? Maybe I gotta dig into Florida, man. It's always an easy go to.

Wish other states would be honest with the news about their craziness. Yeah. Alright. Let's see what's going on in the world of Florida, man. There had to be something crazy that happened over the weekend.

Okay. We already talked about the Florida man who posed as a flight attendant to take 100 free flights, 120 free flights. Still don't understand how with how crazy airport security is, anybody could get away with that. What did Florida man do all weekend? I mean, all of these stories are old.

Like the guy who, you know, peed on the spam and Vienna sausages in a Sam's club. Let's see here. You know, a bunch of unpleasant stories that I wouldn't wanna talk about. What's going on here? There ain't no way Florida man was asleep all weekend.

Yeah. Oh, boy. Is it gonna be one of those days? It's quite possible. Like I said, striking out so far.

This is why most radio shows just use radio prep and all tell, you know, the same exact stories and all use the same exact content. They don't have to think. They don't have to try. You just pull it up. Hey.

Guess what celebrity birthdays we have today? Maybe I should just go that route, Moving forward, not having to put any effort into my shell whatsoever. Why take the hard route when there's an easy route available? Okay. May maybe we could find some good movies here.

The greatest movie you've ever seen that no one else seems to know about. Let's see if, we've heard of any of these. Alright. Autofocus. It's a documentary about the fall of Hogan's hero star Bob Crane.

Yeah. I haven't heard of that. Shattered Glass. What's that about? Oh, it's got Hayden Christensen in it.

They don't really describe it. It's a brilliant true crime story about a reporter getting busted, making up his articles on the fly. Well, that's not surprising at all based on how the news seems to operate nowadays. How can we get people screaming at each other? Post lots of that.

Alright. American Animals. Now this one I think I might have seen this movie. It sounds familiar. It's another, documentary.

But, let's see. We've got Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead. That sounds familiar. And, Christopher Walken plays a crime boss in it as well as in the movie suicide kings. Yeah.

I went through a nice phase watching, mob movies, and I I don't recall hearing about either of those. Hey. I'm always down to make a list of movies to, check out because I like to sit around and just watch TV much as I can. Not gonna be happening today. I got too much prep to do for an interview tomorrow that I did not prepare for whatsoever during the last week.

Ugh. Why do I do this to myself? Don't procrastinate, people. K? Don't leave things till the last minute, then it gets all stressful.

And stress, it's not good for you. Not good for you. The Salton Sea, movie starring Val Kilmer. Starts out like a drug movie but takes a left turn. Yeah.

You know what? I really appreciate it when there's a list, like, greatest movies you've ever seen that no one's ever heard of, and I'm going through it, and I'm like, I haven't heard of any of these movies. Yeah. Southern comfort. The only southern comfort I've heard of.

You know? That, sweet booze. Not my jam. Not my jam. One Cut of the Dead.

Yeah. Never never heard of that one. Okay. I'm gonna bookmark this because you know what it's like when you're sitting there scrolling through Netflix, just endlessly scrolling, can't find anything to watch. It's just typical.

That's why I watch so much South Park. I'm like, oh, that that'll be fine. It'll do. Or just leave YouTube on loop. Last night, I was watching some kind of David Blaine thing on, Hulu when I was trying to go to bed.

He, lit himself on fire and jumped off a bridge in Brazil. It was alright. Yeah. It it wasn't like a magic show, more of a stunt show, but it it was decent. Alright.

Well, anyway, if you wanna find that page, it's on Reddit under r slash flicks. Greatest movie you've ever seen that no one seems to have heard about. Yeah. Try something new. Seems like we talked about this, but it says it was posted two days ago.

So I don't know. Maybe I'm having a deja vu moment. Jobs that attract the worst type of people. Yeah. You don't wanna work with, bad people.

If you got a bunch of coworkers who are just terrible, that's no way to go through life. Alright. It's bad enough if a job's annoying, but if you gotta put up with, horrible coworkers, yeah. Alright. Well, let's find out.

You know, maybe you're on the job hunt. Places to avoid. Okay. Nightclub owner. This person says I have yet to meet one that wasn't fraudulent in some way.

Alright. Now does that include bars or what? Nope. You know, not trying to say anything about local bars. I don't know a lot of bar owners, but the ones I've met seem to be pretty nice, but I don't know any of them very well.

We don't have a lot of what I would call nightclubs around here, but I mean that's essentially a bar. Right? Let's see. Psychologist. 50% of us are in the job because they wanna help people.

50% are here because they need a lot of help. I think most, psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, and such, Probably. It's like it's like radio people were all very needy. I need attention. Listen to me.

Please. Please listen to me talk. I've yet to meet a radio person who's not, you know, a weirdo in some way or other. But I would imagine most people in that kind of field, you know, mental health, they they probably, you know, have some mental health. I don't wanna say issues, but I don't know.

To have a passion for something, I think having some personal experience with it, is, you know, certainly gonna help do a good job. I can't imagine being, any type of a counselor all day just taking on the weight of other people's, you know, issues and things like that. Shout out to all of the, mental health professionals out there doing a great job to, you know, help folks out because that's a lot of weight, a lot of mental weight to take on no way I could do it timeshare sales. Oh let's see I mean one guy commented yeah I used to work for an attorney's office helping people get out of timeshares I've seen timeshare employees chase down elderly people. Make them cry.

One time a friend came to town for a funeral, which the guy at the hotel knew. Tried to get her to sign up for a timeshare. And then they really start going off here. Don't know any timeshare salesman. I'm sure there are timeshares around here somewhere.

Maybe like Island Park or something. But, yeah, make sure to heavily look into these things before you go ahead and, start kicking down dough. You know, if all of these businesses, it's like a casino. You know, they're there to make money. I'm not saying timeshares are like casinos where you're you're gambling but, you know, insurance, they all wanna come out ahead, and they all do come out ahead.

So you you gotta make sure you're getting yourself a a fair deal. Let's see here. Tower hands I worked as an electrician for a cell tower company and that was the only gig where I had more of my tools stolen and it was always a tower hand that did it What the people who, for those people who like climb towers and things like that We've got towers. I'll give jade a heads up. Watch your tools, dude.

Watch your tools. Payday loan people. Yeah. Yeah. If you can avoid taking a payday loan, like, don't don't ever do it.

The The interest rates, you know, they're they're just crazy. Not worth it. I know, you know, times are tough right now. Hard to get by, but if you can avoid any kind of loan, avoid using credit. Yeah.

Trust me. It's gonna be a good thing. Some banks have a bad reputation. Well, yeah. We've learned that throughout the, the financial crisises of the last couple decades.

Scam callers. Now can you imagine that being your job? You gotta have a a real twisted mentality to be a scam caller, you know, just trying to weasel money out of people. Hey. I'm I'm calling from, the federal government.

Blah blah blah blah blah. You owe us taxes. Go ahead and just, Venmo them to here. Terrible. Terrible.

Same with people who, build Internet viruses and, you know, any any of that kind of stuff that can infect your computer, steal your personal information h o a president some people dream of wielding petty power over the color of your mailbox and height of your grass I could never live in a place with an h o a no way Alright. Airport security. Now, I've had I wouldn't say problems, but I've been aggravated by airport security before. It's why that story I mentioned earlier about the guy who pretended to be a flight attendant and got a 120 free flights. Like, how does that happen with how strict airport security is?

You know? Lots of good folks, but every once in a while, I get someone you know, they're just not nice. And I'm sure you're dealing with passengers, many of which you were completely irritating so I I can't really blame you for sometimes being a little bit rude but I'm always friendly. Alright? Even when they you know gotta open up all my bags and rip things apart and open up my CPAP machine and Yeah.

I mean, you just stuck me in the full body scanner. Come on. Cut me some slack here. Glorious Monday, Yeah. Yay.

Okay. Sorry. I will be encouraging and enthusiastic as we move forward. Just been kind of, kind of a tough news day here. I got some other options though.

I mean, I got a lot of different places I can go to try to find stuff just usually it's easy somewhat easy. Again back to I should just use radio prep and do the same stories that everybody else is doing. That makes a radio job really easy. You wouldn't believe how lazy most hosts are. They don't put any effort into bringing up content.

A lot of shows this this is what I need. I need a morning show producer. Jade, where's that budget at, buddy? Morning show producer, you just gather content for the show. Most of the big shows that are making lots of money, like, they they just come in, they do a four hour show, and then they go home, and they don't even have to figure out what to talk about on their own.

I'm sitting here, like, trying to figure out what new music to put on k Bear and z one zero three and the Hawk this week while also, freaking out because I haven't done any preparation for an interview I gotta do tomorrow that, you know, could be a fairly extensive interview with the guys from, last podcast on the left. Yeah. Kinda having a a morning here. Maybe I am gonna get back into the caffeine sooner rather than later, but, it'd be helpful if I could just, you know, rely on my normal sources to find crap to talk about. I am not gonna pull up radio prep.

I refuse. I put my foot down. No. But I'm I'm pretty sure we'll we'll find some freak news. I got, you know, ten minutes to pull up a few stories.

How hard could it be? Well, why don't you stick around and find out? See if I bomb on freak news. What's up? You ready for some stupid news?

I mean, there's lots of it out there, but most of it I don't wanna talk about. A lot of dark stuff going on today. Got a call from Stewart. Reminded me of a few, you know, just terrible stories from over the weekend. I'm like, yeah.

Maybe I'll avoid those topics. We could talk about mosh pit warnings. Last weekend, they had the download festival in The UK, and they had to, send out a mosh pit warning to the local, like, police and emergency responders because I don't have one of these. But, like, for example, certain watches, if they think that you've been in an accident, like, they detect an abrupt kinda, you know, movement, a crash, they'll just automatically call, you know, 911 or in The UK, it's 999. Wouldn't it be easier if the, emergency number was, you know, just one number?

But I guess that might result in more accidental calls. I mean how many times you butt dial somebody, you know? Anyway. Yeah. They they say they get like 700 extra calls caused by moshing because these devices think that people have been in an accident.

Your phone can do it as well. So, you know, they they weren't throwing out the warning that, hey, don't mosh. Even though if you're my age, I gotta say don't mosh. I moshed at the poppy show multiple times, got knocked down every time. Final time I got knocked down, screwed up my tailbone for, like, three weeks.

Yeah. I'm too old for that kind of crap, but I just couldn't resist. So, yeah, that that happened. Alright. Baby shower turns violent when suspect mows down another woman after an argument.

Alright. Okay. I thought this was a, you know, a a gender reveal. But no. It was the actual baby shower party.

Because gender reveals go awry all the time. You know, somebody will have some kind of a, you know, explosive and, you know, set the forest on fire or, you know, set a bunch of balloons loose and who knows what they did to, you know, the, local wildlife. Alright. Let's see here. Eight counts of aggravated assault for Robin Alexander of Maryland.

Yeah. This was, five PM, June 1. Little bit of an argument breaks out at a baby shower. Argument spills to the parking lot, and then she just gets in her car and just starts running people over. Thankfully, it doesn't look like anyone was hurt too bad.

Right? Nobody nobody died or anything. That'd be great. Oh, people stopped her by slashing her tires. One person taken to the hospital with non life threatening injuries, two others treated at the scene.

Yeah. Over the weekend, I witnessed an argument happen out of nowhere. Out of nowhere. I won't get into further details, but, yeah, decided to, go out on the town with a friend Saturday night. And all of a sudden, some guy just tries to get in a fight with him, like, out of nowhere.

So we lasted, like, thirty minutes. Thirty minutes out on the town. Let's just go back to my house. I still don't even understand what happened. But, as we were leaving, did see the, police rolling in.

So I'm assuming this guy was just trying to fight everybody or something. It it was very annoying. Very annoying. You know, you just try to get out and have a good time, and there's psychotic people on the streets. Be careful out there.

People are a little bit, unhinged these days. Alright. United Airlines passengers shocked by lewd message that greeted them on every in flight video screen on the plane. That's not that bad. I was like, alright.

You know, whatever this message is, I'm not gonna be able to say it on air. But it said welcome aboard flight bite me one to Chicago. Come on. That that's not terrible. I was hoping for something much worse.

Yeah. I mean, you need something to kinda make you laugh when you get on an airplane if you get as irritated by air travel as I do. And I'd love to sit down in my seat, look up at the screen, and it says something completely insane. But then I'm sure, you know, somebody would claim, oh, it was so so devastating to me. I need to sue the airlines.

Oh. Alright. Anyway, I assume somebody just thought they were having a little bit of fun. Like somebody who's about 10 because I mean really that's pretty tape. If I can say the message on my show I don't know if I'd call it like lewd nor say it's worth writing a news article about, you know?

That's not that's not that bad. I'm surprised anybody even noticed, but there you go. There you go. United Airlines having to respond to it as well. We're sorry.

We're so sorry. Oh, okay. Now there were other instances when this has happened that I can't say the messages on air. This one, I'm glad that I was. The others, yeah.

Okay. I'd understand why that would, be upsetting to people. You're just gonna have to speculate. K? Alright.

It's after eight already. I gotta get some stuff done here. Are we in the end times? Is the apocalypse coming according to, cracked.com? Some of the stories we've done on Freak News in recent weeks are signs that we're living in an apocalypse movie.

Alright. Let let's take a look. See what I think. Alright. We've got, monkeys kidnapping other monkeys.

So scientists on Jacarron Island in Panama had been watching these capuchin monkeys. I guess they have, stone tools they use when preparing food. Now that's that's not that scary. Right? But then they noticed many of these monkeys had little baby howler monkeys on their backs.

Different species, so they're just stealing them. Terrible monkeys. And that's messed up. Alright. I don't know if it's a sign of the apocalypse, though.

I mean, it's just animals being rude. K? And animals sometimes engage in really horrific behavior. Alright? Just read up on some of the smarter animals out there.

Dolphins. I'm not gonna get into it. Dolphins do some terrible things. K? Now I am all for the, orcas attacking boats and things like that because, you know, animals fighting back against people.

I I kinda find that funny, you know, as long as nobody gets hurt. But alright. The mysterious space message. Okay. There's an object in space that scientists have assigned the name why did they say the catchy name?

ASKAPJ18320911. Okay. So it's a long period radio transient, so it sends out radio waves, but they don't know what it is. Could be a star or it could be, I don't know what, but they've detected x rays coming off it. And, apparently, an object like this isn't supposed supposed to give off, both radio waves and X-ray waves, so they don't know what it means.

But it's been sending out the message every forty four point two minutes. Could be aliens, you know, reaching out. It doesn't mean they're, like, sending a bad message. We blast out radio messages. You know, we've got, you know, craft that are just floating out into the cosmos.

So I'd be I'm not gonna go with that's a sign of, the apocalypse. Alright. I read about this recently because my daughter lives in Bellingham, a truck, hauling bees, 35 tons of beehives, crashed and broke open. And out of the truck came 14,000,000 bees, and now they're trying to retrieve how do you retrieve bees? I guess, you know, fix the hive and hope they come back.

Yeah. But, I mean, a truck overturning, I I don't think that's a sign of the apocalypse either. Pigeons being on an airplane, I think we talked about that one. I mean, when Jayden, Josh, and I were making the rounds last week at our transmitter sites, we walked into, one of the buildings. Should be no way that a bird could get in there, but there was a bird in there.

And it you know, it's, like, really hot in there. Who knows how long it had been in there? We managed to get it out of there, but sometimes animals get in places. All right. I mean, people find snakes coming out of their toilets.

Not a sign of the apocalypse. Okay. A plan to nuke the ocean. Alright. I think anytime we're talking about nukes, then people start get worried a little bit about the apocalypse.

You know, nukes are scary. If you've watched, you know, Oppenheimer or if you've watched fallout, you know, I don't wanna give any spoilers, but, there's a pretty wild scene at the beginning of the fallout series with, nuclear bombs. It it was unsettling to watch to say the least. Now what are what are they trying to do? Why do they want to bomb the, ocean floor?

So let's see. They're talking about, carbon dioxide. I guess it would release, more carbon dioxide. Is that right? They say we've crossed a threshold regarding carbon in the atmosphere.

So if they can, get the carbon to tone it down a bit, bust up a bunch of rocks on the ocean floor, it'll absorb absorb carbon dioxide as it breaks down chemically. So hopefully, it would remove as much carbon dioxide as we admit in thirty years. K. Well, we need a better long term solution. And also, what if they screw this up somehow?

You know? What if there's something living under the ocean? Yeah. I've watched a lot of horror movies. Alright.

Sometimes what is trapped below the depths you do not want to set free? Okay. I'm still not too worried. I I'd be more worried about AI and just people. Those are the two things that I say we've gotta be most concerned about, AI and people.

Humans, man. If anything's gonna gonna trigger an apocalypse, it's gonna be people because people be dumb. Alright. Let's talk about a fun giveaway we've got going on this week. Let's see.

I think I need some nice X Files music for this. The JK Ultra Tour with last podcast on the left coming to the Sandy Amphitheater in Sandy, Utah, Saturday, July 12.

So I'll give you some tickets to the show, man. Awesome. Alright. Hang on the line so I can get your information.

And who's your favorite radio station? JBare. Well, you know if I see the headline, Blair County man allegedly blew up toilet in Pittsburgh casino. Yeah. You you know I'm gonna talk about that.

And, no, it wasn't like he blew up the toilet like you'd expect maybe Jay Davis to do. No. We're talking about, I mean, blowing up a toilet. So apparently he was in this casino, the river's casino. It's about 05:40AM.

And he was taken into custody by casino security for trespassing in a closed restaurant and trying to steal bottles of alcohol worth up to $4,000 So, yeah, they're taking him to a secure area and he is like, can I go to the bathroom? They're like, sure, Sure. We'll we'll let you use this employee restroom. So he's accused of lighting what they're calling a commercial grade firework and putting it in the toilet. The resulting explosion injured a casino employee who was in the restroom.

So it must have been a a pretty good firecracker. Worker was treated for minor injuries. Then they went and searched his vehicle, found more fireworks, called in the bomb squad, had to bring in a k nine unit to sweep the garage in the casino. I did not find any additional explosives, but, yeah. You don't wanna be facing charges of arson, endangering persons, felony charges of theft, receiving stolen property.

I mean, if you're already busted for for theft, even though blowing up a toilet sounds fun, it it's not gonna help you. Yeah. You know? And, you know, when you injure somebody I mean, this guy is gonna be in jail for a long time. It's not worth it, bro.

You know? So, anyway, just had to share the exploding toilet story with you because, yeah, I I would feel like I failed if I didn't. You know, I'm not gonna get into discussion about, all the various protests over the weekend, but they had one in London, the world naked bike ride, which is a peaceful protest against car culture and oil dependency. So people just stripped down, got on a bike, and, hit the streets. And they've got a lot of blurred out photos at the Daily Mail if you, you know, really wanna see, blurred out photos of the naked bike riders.

Yeah. It looks like it all went well. Can you imagine if somebody tried to do a protest like that around here? It'd be pretty wild, I would imagine, counter protests for sure. People bundled up out in that summer heat.

Yeah. Just covered head to toe. I think these kind of protests are fun. You know, I mean, bicyclists can be pretty annoying as, we've discussed a number of times on this program, but if you're gonna do a bike protest, naked bike protest, you know, I think that, if all protests, people were just stripped down. It would make them a little bit more more entertaining.

Right? Do you think then anyone would be arguing about it? Maybe. Maybe not. But, yeah.

I guess they do this every year, and they still haven't gotten rid of cars, but it looks like fun. You know, there's a woman painted blue. There's an old couple on a bicycle built for two. And all all the people in the streets are just laughing as everybody, rides on by. Yeah.

I don't think that's gonna fly in East Idaho. If somebody wants to try to, you know, set one up, I you've got my full support, but yeah. I have a feeling, wouldn't work out so well. Anyway, what else do we have here? Oh, you know, we don't really deal with these a lot in this area, but cicadas are coming out in many areas of the country.

These bugs that, like, they live underground for decades and then, you know, they've got different broods of them as they call them. And, every so often, they'll make their way to the surface. So they've got this problem in Ohio. And I guess at a local amusement park, the Kings Island amusement park, they're having to warn visitors, keep your mouth closed while you're on, you know, the rides. What fun is that?

Right? You're on a roller coaster. You wanna put your hands up and, have you ever seen these kind of bugs? Like if you've ever been in an area where they are making their way to the surface and out and about, they make a bunch of like really creepy racket And they're they're they're just disgusting looking. They look so gross.

Yeah. It'd be bad enough just having them around, like, landing on you. But, I mean, I don't know what they taste like. K? Maybe they're delicious, but you still wanna make the choice to snack down on one, you know, just flying into your mouth while you're on a roller coaster.

Oh, that is just terrible. So, people have been sharing their experiences, with these on TikTok, of course. Some funny ones like this kid just starts bawling. I I probably would too. You know?

You saw how I reacted to a a big snake when we had a giant, snake in the studio, and I held it for a minute. Yeah. Little tiny bugs. Well, okay. These aren't tiny bugs.

These are they've got, like, giant red eyes. They're so disgusting looking. Yeah. I don't blame this kid for, crying at all, but I'm a wuss like that. Okay.

More tunes and crap on the way. Hang on. As the July 4 approaches, I start to get a a little bit more anxious because it's so busy for us here at Riverbend Media Group. You know, we got the Idaho Falls Community Hospital River Fest. It's going on all day, the July 4, presented by Idaho Central Credit Union, Tag and Go Car Wash, and Riverbend Media Group.

Yeah. I mean, if you're looking to do something fun on the fourth, Snake River Landing, the only place to be. They got stuff for the kids, like the Stones Kia Kids Zone. You can get yourself an all day pass, still only $10. Test drive a new Can Am from Rev Motorsports in the off road demonstration area.

So much going down and it all culminates with the biggest fireworks show West Of The Mississippi, the Melaleuca Freedom Celebration. Don't forget to tune into classy 97 during the fireworks show. Listen on a regular radio, not not the app because the app, you know, it's on a little bit of of a buffer delay. If you want the fireworks to perfectly sync up with the soundtrack that Jade spends literally weeks of time working on, then, yeah, use a regular radio. But I haven't heard Jade's soundtrack for this year yet but I can tell you he always does a great job and yeah I mean this is the fireworks event to attend and you can hang out there all day Get yourself a good spot for the big show.

Make sure to bring water, sunblock, no pets or anything like that. And bring some, you know, ear protection for the kids because it's loud. It's explosive. So lots of preparation happening around here, and, it's gonna be here before we know it. You're gonna blink, and it's gonna be the July 4.

So, yeah, track me down at Riverfest. Come say what up. And, you know, over the weekend, I was out at the Idaho Falls Farmers Market. Thank you again to everybody who came out and, dropped off pet food. I you know, lugging giant bags of dry pet food from wherever you manage to find a parking spot at the farmer's market.

That's some effort to help out our local animal shelters, so I greatly appreciate it. Talked to tons of listeners while I was there. And I had multiple people that were wanting me to play more Avatar, so I'm working on getting more of that implemented into the playlist. Right now, I got a brand new one from them. It's called Captain Goat.

I don't mind them. They're cool. They are cool. That's why, their name is Tool because it rhymes with coo. I watched the video of Ozzy, reacting to their logo.

You know, the the ranch. The ranch? Yeah. The ranch. She's like, what is that on the back of the shirt?

And Sharon's explaining it to him. It's supposed to look like that. Yeah. I think I saw online that Ozzy's final show, they're gonna livestream it? Yeah.

It's $30 for the livestream. That's not terrible. They're really wanting this, like, hey, Ozzy. Maybe you should die on stage just because we're charging people so much money for this. We need to, you know, give them a show.

And everybody was speculating too because you know how Sharon said in an interview that, she she kicked one band off the lineup? Yeah. Was it Tool? Everyone thought it was Tool, but apparently, that whole interview was from, like, before the lineup was even announced. Oh.

So the one band is still anonymous. People are still trying to figure it out. But there was a poster that was uploaded without TOOL's logo that everyone's like, oh, it's them because TOOL is known for being that band that's, like, you know, hard to deal with. They just wanted the whole instigate. Yeah.

I heard that, you you know, where they're gonna be live streaming it, that Tool because Tool doesn't film well, doesn't really allow streaming of, like, any video stuff. Mhmm. And they've never even put out an official live video. And they, I think, record every single one of their shows. And one of these days, hopefully, they'll drop, like, the ultimate tool live experience.

They'll probably charge, like, a thousand dollars for the Blu ray. Oh, sure. You know? People were making fun of Maynard because I it was, what's the guy? Rick Bido?

Rick Beato? Rick Beato. No. He was interviewing Maynard and, he was like, how do you listen to your music? And he's like, well, I use compact discs and he only listens to CDs.

That sounds like Maynard. And Maynard answered it in such a horrible way to where he was mean to Rick, and so everyone's like, I bet he's fun at parties. Like, they didn't really know who Maynard was in the comment section. See, I'd like to meet Maynard. I really would, but I don't know if he'd really be fun.

You know? I've met a lot of bands, and sometimes you can just tell like, I bet Danny Carey is a blast to chat with. Tools drummer, Adam Jones, I think all of them, but Maynard, he can be a little pretentious. Yeah. If you ask him a stupid question, I feel like I would do the same thing.

I would answer the same fashion as him. Like, I'd make sure to dive right into talking about Arizona. Sure. Yeah. I would not talk about Toole till I get him very comfortable with, let's talk about the Verde Valley, one of my favorite places in the world.

The two most difficult interviews I feel like are both Maynard and Trent Reznor. I feel like both those guys are are pretentious in their own way, and you have to ask them certain types of questions in order to get them interested. I bet Trent would be a much easier interview than Maynard, as far as, you know, him being, personable. But I'd be pretty nervous interview. There's only a handful of people that I would probably get nervous interviewing.

Maynard would be one. Trent Reznor would be one. It's not like he's gonna remember you anyways. He might as well just if you flop, you flop. But there's nothing worse than flopping in an interview.

I get it. I mean, I get made fun of for that one question I asked Rory about the, you should write a song about your daughter. In my head, I'm like, he already did. I'm a stupid idiot. I just I hate that.

I hate that when that happens. You know, that's the the benefits to editing. Yeah. You can just chop that stuff out. Sure.

Listeners don't have any idea you asked a stupid question. But, yeah, I've I'm bombed a lot of interviews. You know? It just happens sometimes. I'm I'm concerned about tomorrow aside from the fact that the last podcast guys, they talk for a living.

So I think it it it should go fine even if I suck. They seem in they they seem like they'll be endless with their chatter, and you're gonna be like, okay. I need to cut it off now. This has been two hours. Yeah.

And I asked how much time I had, and they said, you know, whatever you need. So I think I'm gonna go home and do it at my house You better. So that I don't eat up, you know, too far into your show sitting here in the studio. Are you gonna be like Lou Brutus and be like, look at this signed Stephen King book? I got a whole horror collection behind me.

I mean, I I think having the horror collection behind me would be would be good. Yeah. You know, because I know those guys are big into horror. I just listened to an interview they did with the, director of Bring Her Back But and it was a lot of fun. Are they gonna be like, okay, this guy's trying too hard to be like us?

Or I I don't think so because I I mean, I am a lot like them. I think that's why I like that show. I'm into all of that material that they talk about. I love horror. They've done some really funny music related episodes.

Like, their series on black metal was hilarious. Like, if you wanna learn about black metal and get lots of laughs at the same time. I was laughing at their whole little thing about Abraham Lincoln sleeping with the the one friend or whatever. Yeah. Apparently, they were really good friends.

Yeah. And they were, like, chest to chest at night or something like that. Yeah. It's nothing weird, Peaches. No.

I I think it's funny. Take back then, they didn't have the same kinda heat and things that we have now. You had to do what you had to do to survive and stay warm. If we had the the power to time travel, the stuff that we would find out would be crazy. Dude, I bet people would be so grateful for the modern it might change humanity if people could actually go back in time and live during, you know, like, the seventeen hundreds or, you know, a way long time ago.

People go, okay. Okay. Okay. I didn't realize that. Like, no air conditioning.

Well, let's just start with that. No air conditioning. Imagine living in Palm Springs, California with no air conditioning. Yeah. 120 degree summers.

Well, there was less people, and I'm sure I was cooler. The the the Earth in general. But There wasn't, you know, emissions from cars. Yeah. Yeah.

But, I mean, even down in Arizona, you know, they've got, you know, Native American ruins that go back, you know, hundreds and hundreds of years. People were living in that area. You're reminding me of the, Sam Kinison bit about living in the desert. There's no food. You can't grow food in the desert.

Yeah. Like, people lived in these areas and, it must have been can you okay. Imagine just having to hunt and gather all your food. No grocery store. Right.

You failed as a father if you didn't bring home the the the game, the the the what's it called? The The the wild game. Right? I mean You you killed the bison and had to carry it back to your house? Yeah.

You ever tried to drag a bison? I haven't thought There was no wheelbarrows back then. You probably had to have that stupid, tarp attached to two sticks and carry it. But they didn't even have a tarp. You probably had to skin a bison and somehow turn the skin into something you could use to drag a bison on, like, some some pieces of wood or something.

You're dragging the dead bison by the skin as, like, some sort of, like, bag. There's probably blood and stuff coming out Oh, yeah. As it's following behind you. For sure. And you're dragging it miles upon miles to your family.

I mean, I know people who hunt. Imagine this. You know, you have to drag an elk out of the woods. They weigh I I don't even know what they weigh. Imagine if you drug that to your to your house and your kids are picky.

I don't feel like having bison tonight. Yeah. Back then like it. Back then, you know, you just ate what you got. You know, imagine if you had that I want chicken nuggets.

Too bad. You know, health problems that pop up. You know, there there weren't no Tylenol. You're, like, eating a mix of plants to try to take the edge off. Sure.

They leach you. Yeah. They'll put leeches all over you. Yeah. Those Take the bad blood out.

Exactly. Those ancient techniques that they use to try to cure people that, you know, probably wasn't the best idea. You go to the dentist slash barber slash doctor slash slash Yeah. Or what about before even that? Like, you get a a bad tooth.

Rip it out. Yeah. How did you do it? There was nothing. They just ripped it out.

I mean, you watched the Red Dead Redemption two doctor scene where, like, they have to amputate. Mhmm. Oh. Yeah. Here.

Take some drinks of whiskey. Now just sit there. Here we go. I get to go to the schoolhouse. People are making fun of you if you have no you have no right arm.

You can't write anymore. Yeah. You have to learn how to write with your left hand. It was bad time. You know, people didn't live very long back in the day.

The ripe old age of 31. That's why That's a grandfather right there. I mean, it's kinda dark, but back in the day, people would have a a lot of children who were, like, lived on a farm. But way early on. And yeah.

And a lot of the children didn't make it, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Because that was the reality of of life back there. It would have been terrible to live back in the day.

I I told you about the Little House in the Prairie episode where there was those two, circus, circus performers, and they were, like, small people. And, unfortunately, the wife passed as she was giving birth to the kid. And the the guy was all, like, oh, I'm so happy I found someone who's like me. I can't wait to have this family. The doctor comes in and just goes, she's dead.

Oh. And it's, like, every little House of the Prairie episode is all about the harsh reality of living back then. Yeah. It would've sucked, dude. It would've been terrible.

Alright. Well, I think this is gonna be the end of the, yapping on the show because, we gotta go to a meeting in just a few minutes, because Yes. We do. Alright. Mondays Mondays are rolling, everybody.

We'll be back for the noon hour of madness and mayhem, and, hopefully, that show will be will be good. I got a few pieces of content we can use for that show. Fun time. Don't tease it like it's gonna be bad. Alright.

Alright. Sorry, Peaches. It's Monday. You know, how how enthusiastic can you be on a Monday? Imagine trying to, like, tune into a big meaty lunch, you know, like the the another station here in the area.

Mhmm. Imagine thinking that's fun? No. Hey, everybody. Hi.
