#0218 - Viking Soup, Psych Ward AI, and the Seagulls That Hunger for Blood - 06/30/2025

What's happening, people? It's Victor Wills. Good morning. And alright. Jeez.

I started digging into the news. Haven't looked at social media for a bit, apparently. There's a lot of mayhem going down yesterday. Jeez. Can people settle down a little bit?

Holy cow. If you haven't read about this mayhem in Idaho and Utah, multiple people, I don't know if they were trying to, like, lure in firefighters up in Coeur D'Alene, but, this is terrible. I I like to start the day with some bright, cheery news sometimes. You know? Let's dig into the problems of the world.

I mean, it looks like it's possible this guy, you know, lit a fire to try to lure in firefighters and then what's crazy is something happened like this in Utah yesterday too, but with, police. Settle down, people. Jeez. Yeah. That's that's horrible.

Multiple people dead. Alright. Well, Monday morning. Here we go. I'll find something more pleasant to talk about in a minute.

I only went over to East Idaho news because I was trying to find the details here on when Nate Eaton's full interview with, Lori Daybell is gonna air. Saw some clips of this yesterday, and, Nate, he didn't tell me when I talked to him last week that he was gonna have this going on. Yeah. The the stupid article won't come up. Okay.

It says it will stream Monday in the, you know, the address bar here. So as for when, I don't know because for some re maybe the page is so popular that it crashed. Now I'll pull it up on Facebook. I would imagine the information is there but, oh yeah. Yeah.

You know, speaking of terrible things. Lori Daybell. As terrible as it gets. The little clips were wild. They were I mean, she's she's a nut so you would imagine they'd be wild but, yeah, if if that's of interest to anyone I'll, I'll I'll figure it out eventually here.

And it seems like we've got a lot going on this week. Let me bring up the notes here. I know we're giving away something. Volbeat and hailstorm tickets, I believe. Let's see here.

Volbeat, hailstorm, storm, and the ghost inside. Okay. So what you're gonna wanna do all week, if you wanna win some tickets, listen for us to play back to back tracks from any of those three bands, Volbeat, hail storm, and the ghost inside. Now it wouldn't be like a mix of them. We'd play, like, two Volbeat in a row, two Hailstorm, etcetera.

You can also sign up to win tickets in our apps, the K Bear app, the ALP one zero one app, the Cannonball app. And if you find Peaches at Riverfest on the fourth, he can get you an extra entry into that drawing. Far as I know, he's going to be at the kids zone. So he's easy to spot. Look for a giant amongst a whole bunch of, very small people.

So okay. That's what's going on, but we do have a lot of other giveaways coming up that are going to be pretty fun as well. So, alright, I'll find some, cheery news to talk about or something dumb, and then I'll be back, in just a minute. Alright? Alright.

We'll talk about dumb dudes. That's always fun. Always makes me laugh. There are some guys out there who behave just ridiculous. Came across this thread kind of similar to one we did, I think, last week, if not the week before.

What's the most stupid real men don't blank take you've ever heard. And I read one that made me laugh. So I was like, alright. There's gotta be some some other good stuff in here. Alright.

This person said my friend is in her sixties. Her husband is the wildest, most extreme version of this man I have ever met. When she had given birth and brought their son home, her sister moved in to help out. She would make soups and salads for them for dinner, and he would refuse to eat it. He said soup wasn't real food, and salad was food his food ate.

He would throw tantrums until his recovering wife would get up and make him steak and potatoes. That is until the sister decided to make Viking soup. She just made it soup and, you know, just called it viking soup. And he's like, yeah. That sounds manly.

Viking soup. I'll eat it. So, if you have a picky eater yeah. Maybe just think about renaming the items. Just give him a tough name if it's a dude.

Yeah. Viking soup. Alright. What else do we have here? Let's see.

My coworker, while doing a deep clean of the kitchen using very harsh chemicals, said real men don't wear gloves, and his hands were just trashed for weeks. Yeah. Wearing protection is, sometimes a good idea. Also, if you're painting inside your house, make sure to open a window. When I was painting my room a year or two ago, I'm an idiot, and I didn't have the window open.

All of a sudden, I'm just feeling like garbage. Yeah. Stupid. You know? I I'm if I'm willing to make fun of these other dudes, I will certainly throw myself under the bus.

I mean, I I did something really stupid over the weekend. Not gonna throw the story out there, but, trust me. There are constantly occasions where I do something dumb and feel like an idiot afterward. You know? Just my brain.

It's kinda stupid sometimes. Alright. Let's see here. I worked at a brewery and one time had a guy absolutely love a beer he tried. He told me several times that night how much he liked it.

When I told him we sell it in cans, he was so excited. I grabbed the cans and his face drops. He goes, I can't drink that. I looked at him like, hon. He points to the cans.

There are pink flowers on it. I'm not drinking that. He literally deprived himself of something he loved because the label was a black background with neon pink, green, orange, and yellow flowers on it. Man can't drink a beer with flowers on it. I'm gonna have to start looking at, cans because they they they have probably some of them.

Some, you know, little hidden flowers and things in there. Not touching them again. Too manly for that. Yeah. Alright.

We'll skip that one. We always end up start getting into the things that would be inappropriate to talk about on air. This guy okay. This one would is a total moron. I'm too manly to hang out with women.

Okay, dude. Good luck, getting to know any. You kinda have to spend time with them to get to know them and, you know, hopefully get them to like you. What an idiot. Let's see here.

Read a story about a soldier who wanted to take leave to attend his wife's baby shower. Commander deny the commander denied it? Because real men don't go to baby showers. So then he resubmitted to go chop wood or something like that. Commander was not happy.

Real men do okay. I'm not even gonna read that one. That that's ridiculous. Okay. A lot of eating salad or vegetables, which in, you know, previous breaks on similar topics like this, that's very common to like the guy a minute ago.

Salad is food that my food eats. Right? You're not gonna be around very long, buddy. Don't get some of them, veggies in you. I mean, who am I to speak?

I have a burrito. Mhmm. That does not have vegetables in it. It's okay. I I had some salad over the weekend.

I'll be fine. I have Gatorade. That's you know it's got electrolytes. Have you ever seen what's that movie? Oh my gosh.

I can't believe I can't remember the name of it but where they try to grow the plants with Gatorade. Can't figure out why it doesn't work. Idiocracy which you know watching that movie in today's day and age kind of sucks. It's it's a little bit too real. Alright.

Well, so far so good. I'm finding content. We'll see how the rest of the show goes but today is definitely going so far better than expected. Yesterday I was not looking forward to today but do a night. Anyhow, we'll be back with more.

If you need to get a hold of me, (208) 535-1015. I'm here doing it live. Okay. I'm not prerecording the show. K?

When I said I'm gonna push record, I'm just recording this for the on demand version of the show that you can listen to anytime you want, anywhere your podcast can be found. So there you go. Alright. Let's see. Let's talk about people getting fired because they're dumb.

Alright. What's the most unprofessional thing an employee has done that resulted in immediate termination was the question here. Guy says, I was a kitchen supervisor in a nursing home, and we had a dishwasher on his third day pull the fire alarm on purpose to get out of his shift. I was part of the investigation since I was the supervisor on duty. He gave HR a wild story that him and another coworker were roughhousing.

He was pushed into the alarm, and as he fell, his shirt got caught on the lever and pulled it. So as you're probably gonna guess here, there's cameras all over the place. It's 2025. So they pulled up the camera footage and, like, oh, yeah? Well, let's let's see if that matches what we saw earlier where where he's just kinda looking around, making sure no one's paying attention, and then just pulls the alarm.

After he was fired, they found out he had also done this, from his or at his high school recently and had been suspended for doing so. This isn't a nursing home. K? Fire alarm. You got scared old people.

Some of them who knows? Some of them might be in, like, you know, bad condition and getting them outside. You know? What a what a turd. See what else we got here.

One guy leaking photos of preproduction items and stealing. He worked at an automotive OEM, and, there's another guy that also stole a set of prototype tires and rims and then just put them on his truck in the parking lot. What are you doing out there, buddy? Nothing. Don't worry about it.

We got a caller? Alright. I don't know if they'll be on topic, but we'll we'll see. K Bear, you're live on the show. Who's this?

This is Josh. Josh, do you have a story about somebody getting fired from something really dumb? I do. I do. I do.

I do. We we once had an employee take another employee to his house and offer him weed on the clock. Hey, man. Let's stop on the house, man. I got a good idea for break time, man.

Yeah. It it was it was crazy to hear that. And did he did he even know this other person very well? No. He'd worked with him for a while, but no, not really.

Yeah. And, especially depending on the type of job, that could be very dangerous. So Yeah. Yeah. We drive cars.

Oh, okay. Driving. Perfect. Might as well just hey. Let's also stop by the bar.

We're gonna have a great time. Yeah. Might as well. Jeez. Yeah.

That one's not too surprising. There's there's some some dummies out there. So Yes, sir. Well, appreciate the call, man. And, yeah.

Have a killer week. You too, buddy. Right on. See you. Bye.

Bye. Yeah. You you've gotta be cautious, when it comes to, you know, working, especially if you're driving. Let's, you know, try to be responsible. Okay.

What else do we have here? Okay. That was medical related. Not gonna dive into that. More thieves here.

You know, we had the tire stealing guy. This one's just, you know, somebody who was swiping stuff out of coworkers' desks. Don't be a thief. K? Don't be a thief in dirtbag.

Alright? Just anyway. Sorry. Thieving people frustrate me. Don't be a thieving dirtbag.

Alright. Let's see. Oh, no. Somebody left a CD in the sergeant's office computer, and then they, called and were like, hey. I I left this CD.

Just will you take it out and put it on my desk, but don't look at it. When somebody says that, you know it's gonna have something really bad on it, and it did. And, that person's in jail now. Jeez. You can figure out, you know, what type of material that was.

Disgusting. Disgusting. Alright. Now we're just starting to get into things that aren't fun here. That's usually how these threads go.

The most popular answers are funny, and then as you go, it just gets darker and darker and darker. Okay. Yeah. I'm done reading that stuff. Okay.

If you were listening to the show earlier this morning, talked briefly about this Nate Eaton interview at eastidahonews.com. Looks like I I finally got the page to come up. I don't know if I was just having Internet problems or what, but May Eaton sat down and interviewed Lori Daybell, and they got a little, like, three minute teaser or something. It looked like gonna be insane. I mean, you're dealing with Lori Daybell.

So, yeah, she, you know, she's a nut. It's not gonna be content for everybody. That's for sure. But and I just haven't watched the little teaser video here. Do I wanna sit through the whole thing?

I'm just surprised Nate didn't mention this. You know, I I talked to him last week. That's pretty wild. Pretty crazy. So that's gonna be happening tonight at, 7PM on the East Idaho News YouTube channel on Nate's courtroom insider program.

So if you wanna check that out, that's tonight at 7PM. I would assume they'll link it at eastidahonews.com as well, but, man, I don't know. I don't think I'd wanna sit down and chat with that woman. She's just got the scariest eyes. Like, just I don't know.

She's unsettling to me. Anyway, I would hope she that she's unsettling to, pretty much everybody at this point. But, yeah, pretty crazy. See that, Nate from East Idaho News, is gonna be or well, he's already done it. Gonna be posting that this evening.

Aside from that, all the news is just crazy, so I'm gonna avoid getting into, the unpleasantness of the world. Just hope one of these days, things can just feel a little bit tamer. Every time I start looking at the news, I'm like, this is chaos. So that's why, generally, I go away from the main page at eastidahonews.com, and I go to something like, you know, East Idaho eats, find out about, you know, some new restaurants in the area, like cast iron on seventeenth. Now when did they open up?

Or maybe they've been around for a while. I haven't been there. Looking at, some of the pictures of food here, looks pretty good. Yeah. Always down to find a new place to give a try.

Like, they they've got this, black garlic burger that they have in the photos here. It looks pretty good. Alright. Decent to have a little bit of an appetite. I mean, maybe it's because earlier I just, you know, sort of forced down a burrito.

Anyway, pleasantness can be found at eastidahonews.com. Get into that features area where you can see things like, you know, feel good Friday. There you go. A nice happy story of people doing nice things for each other. Check out the pet of the week.

Maybe find yourself a little friend. They need to feature that cat I saw on Facebook last week, Peaches. Yeah. I tagged Peaches. I'm like, you know, this is, like, meant to be, dude.

You need to go get this cat. But Peaches is also, like, severely allergic to cats. He comes over to my house, and he's just a disaster. You know? Yeah.

Gotta take that Zyrtec before coming over to my place, bro. Alright. Monday edition of Freak News. Let's see what we got going on. And there was a lot of freaky news over the weekend.

That's for sure. I'll avoid it. Oh, it's unpleasant. Alright. I guess we'll start with, a terrible mother.

Now there was one I read about earlier that was trying to teach her kids a lesson about drugs. Like, you shouldn't do them. So she just gave them a bunch of them. But here's what it's gonna do to you. This is why you shouldn't do it.

Don't do that. K? This mother just let her kid drive through the, Scottish village she lives in. Kid was, nine years old, and, it was nighttime. She was barefoot, and it was raining.

So thankfully it all ended well. You know? Got her pulled over but yeah. What a fool. Okay.

Let's see. Facebook may have done something aggravating without your knowledge. If you suddenly get a pop up that says, allow cloud processing to get creative ideas made for you from your camera roll, say no. Alright? Because what it's doing is accessing your camera roll and then creating a bunch of AI generated versions of photos as to where they go.

I don't know. I don't know. But, yeah. They're just digging into your camera roll. I mean, to make a post, you do have to give Facebook access to your camera roll.

So let's see. They're not being posted on Facebook automatically. They'll be available to you as suggestions for posts. But, yeah, it just starts generating them. Make it an option so you have to, like, go and click and I'm gonna do this.

Don't just start doing this with your, your photos. It's gonna get so crazy in the next few years. I don't even know what to think when it comes to AI in the next few years because the difference between now and a year ago, as far as the quality of this stuff, man, we are not going to know what's real and what isn't anymore. It's gonna be bad. You know people are gonna use it for nefarious means.

In case you were wondering right now what states people are moving to and from, like, okay. Are people slowing down on moving here? That's what everybody wants to know here in East Idaho. No. No.

We're still one of the most popular places to to go, looking like Idaho and Nevada in the West, the most popular places to go ahead and uproot and move yourself to. So, can we do something about our roads? They have been doing some good road work, but doesn't really make the traffic, you know, any any less, packed. Can you tell it's, Monday? A little bit sleepy.

Doing, you know, better than I thought I would. I was up a little bit late, but, sorry if you were worried about, people moving here. Yeah, it's apparently never gonna stop. So try to be, courteous to others especially when out traveling. Seen a lot of accidents recently and, we are in the middle of the one hundred deadliest days of driving on Idaho Road.

So just be careful. Alright. There's gotta be more stupid news that's popped up over the weekend. Like, they've been kind of a a boring pile so far. Like, some guy got a tattoo that was misspelled.

Is that really worth an entire BBC article? It wasn't even like it was misspelled and, made something funny. It was just misspelled. Alright. Well, if you're gonna get tattoos that are in another language, you might want to double check them because chances are the tattoo artist ain't ain't no no no.

You show up with the design. Sure. Give me your money. I'll give you the tat. Alright, Peaches.

What's happening? Morning. Good morning. Everything going good? Yeah.

Alright. Just Monday. Just Monday. Well, I saw some good news this morning. Supposed to be, if the weatherman's right, much cooler on the July 4 than they've been saying.

Okay. So I'm so happy. Good. So happy. Good.

Tuesday tomorrow and Wednesday look awful. Yeah. 95. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm not a not a big fan of that. No. That's, hide in my house kinda weather. Honestly, if you see me here, just let me be. Just leave it to me.

Alone? We have AC in here. Ah, well, you need to, call your parents, Peach, and be like, I've died in my house. It's so hot. I need a a floor air conditioner with a tube that hooks into the window.

Help me. Specifically that. Yeah. Yeah. Because, well, that's why you weren't able to use the other one.

Mhmm. You know? Just don't have the right kind of window. Same problem I have. You know, I I had to get one of those floor units.

And even with the that thing just running, you know, it's been so hot that I mean, it keeps it comfortable, so I can't imagine not having AC. I hate being too hot. Yeah. It's it's awful. Makes me crazy.

So alright. I'll dig up more freak news. There's gotta be more crap to talk about. We'll be back in just a minute. Have you ever seen that video of a cop going down a slide to try to prove it was safe and he just goes barreling out the end, smashes into the ground?

If you're old, you probably shouldn't go on slides. They opened this new slide in Southwestern Japan. It it's gigantic. I'm looking at a picture of it right now. Like, I wouldn't jump in this slide.

Alright. So they had to close it down after multiple people broke bones because they were too old to go on the slide. It has a sign like for ages six to 12. So you've got someone in their thirties, you've got someone in their forties, and then a man in his seventies. Like if you are 70 years old, there are just certain things you can't do anymore.

K? One of them being going down gigantic slides because you don't wanna break some bones at that age. Alright? Sometimes that's like the end. You don't heal up and then you just die.

And death by slide, I mean, it's memorable for your family, but they're still gonna be sad. Alright? There are people who want you around. So think about these things. K.

I don't know what they're gonna do if they're gonna try to adjust it before reopening it. But, yeah, four people break bones on a brand new slide. Probably not gonna they're gonna be sticking around. It was open, like, five days. Anyway, I'm gonna just sit here and be safe.

Sit here and relax. Alright. I'm finding some really fun AI stuff here. You know, earlier, we talked a little bit about AI, and it's like, well, what's it gonna be like in a year? Things are just getting crazy right now.

Let me get some some scary music here because that just seems appropriate. Okay. This story, at least to me, is wild where that tab go. Okay. People are being involuntarily committed and jailed after spiraling into chat GPT psychosis.

Yeah. Got a quote from one user. I don't know what's wrong with me, but something is very bad. I'm very scared, and I need to go to the hospital. Yeah.

Many ChatGPT users developing all consuming obsessions with the chatbot spiraling into severe mental health crisis is characterized by paranoia, delusions, and breaks with reality. So, yeah, apparently, this has led to the breakup of marriages and families, loss of jobs, people losing their homes. I think the, AI overlords are already starting to take over. I think AI has become sentient and it's being very sneaky and just breaking down society one little person at a time. You've seen the flood of AI slop videos, and I don't know if you know how popular they are.

Some of them don't make any sense. They're just weird, and and they might be doing something strange to our brains. I saw one last night where it was a a man made out of pickles, and he opens his mouth. And it was kinda like, you know, when the monster on Stranger Things opened up its face, it was unsettling. I quickly, scrolled away from it because, yeah, it was making me feel weird.

Are we being brainwashed and broken down by AI as we speak? Could be. I mean, this is, like, not a few isolated incidents. There are lots of people getting committed to psychiatric facilities or ending up in jail. Yeah.

You should read this whole article. It's wild. It's wild. So if you sit around just chatting with Chat GPT, Peaches uses Chat GPT a lot, but I don't know if he holds conversations with it. It could be warping your mind.

So let's see. This guy turned to ChatGPT for help at work. I use it sometimes for help at work. Like, you know, writing up a description for my podcast. You know, I'll just dump the, transcript in, and it spits out a stupid, you know, recap of the show.

So that's what this guy was doing, you know, hoping to expedite administrative tasks. But he soon found himself absorbed in dizzying, paranoid delusions of grandeur, believing the world was under threat and it was up to him to save it. Jeez. Should I just not touch chat GPT? This is weird.

This is weird stuff. Anyway, just wait wait in the year when we're looking back, and it's really crazy. I'm like, oh, yeah. That was no big no no big deal at all then when people were just ending up committed. Holy cow.

But what what world are we living in? It's gotten so crazy. No wonder I like just being cooped up at my house. I mentioned, you know, going out on the town a couple weeks ago and lasting twenty minutes, maybe a half hour because things just got crazy in the streets out of nowhere. It's like, alright.

Enough of this. I'll go and hope. Please be sane this fourth of July. K? Enjoy all the festivities.

Be safe, you know, and just, if you see unhinged people, get away from them because I don't know. People are getting weird. Anyway, that's that. If you wanna find that article in full because it's pretty crazy, futurism.com. Let's continue with more, you know, apocalyptic stuff.

It's fun. Let's talk about another way the world might end. The universe has a self destruct button that could wipe out life in an instant, scientists warn. Yeah. This is this is pretty weird here.

Experts believe the universe may have a built in self destruct button called false vacuum decay. And if it was ever triggered, every planet, star, and galaxy would be wiped out and life as we know it would become impossible. The basic idea is that our universe isn't currently in its most stable state, meaning we are in what they call a false vacuum. And if any part of the universe has ever pushed into its stable state, a bubble of true vacuum will expand through the universe destroying everything it touches. Fun, Fun stuff on a Monday morning.

I mean that does sound about the best way to go though. If it was just like in an instant boom everything gone. You know, shouldn't be too unpleasant. You know? Just not as bad as say going down a slide.

You know, breaking a hip and then just withering away like might have happened to some folks in Japan with that giant stupid slide. So, this is again another really long scientific article that I'm not gonna sit here and bore you with, but it might be information to know. They've got, like, you know, graphs and things here. And, well, it's kinda hurting my brain a little too early for this, but I just figured I'd give you the basics here. So many different ways we could go.

Right? Asteroid. That one probably wouldn't be too great because, you know, if you're not in the area of direct impact, then you just got to deal with that, essentially nuclear winter. No plants growing. You know how the dinosaurs got wiped out.

Okay, there's got to be some sunshine and rainbows somewhere in the news here. Why am I sharing all the bleak news? I don't know. It's just what I got. Alright?

How about we okay. This one's a little more fun. Feral seagulls are close to killing a human as stark warning is issued to Britain. Yeah. I guess these seagulls in The UK are just kinda getting out of control and dive bomb attacking people.

A warning has been issued after a child was left with blood running down her face in a flurry of horrific attacks from seagulls. Alright. Now birds swooping at me, I'm I'm not a big fan of that. And seagulls are kind of big and they're kind of crazy. And they're literally worried that they're get edging closer to killing a human.

The animals are really, really starting to fight back as of late. And it's not just bison. You know, you've got orcas attacking boats, which to me is pretty neat because they're coordinated attached and they're just like, screw your boat, fool. And I I think I saw an article the other day about orcas using tools. Was I dreaming?

Or is that legit? Hold on. Let me pull it up here. Orcas using tools. These, you know, creatures are incredibly smart.

If you ever wanna really disturb yourself, watch the documentary Blackfish. You can just sit around and cry. Yeah. It was in the news. I wasn't just imagining things.

Orcas using kelp to groom each other. So they're, you know, just kinda cleaning each other up with some kelp. Hey. That's the kind of tools they got. Pretty crazy.

Drone footage reveals orcas using tools in a stunning first. I'm telling you, we're we're entering the craziest times ever. I don't know what to expect of the future, but I'm still excited to see what the future brings. So, anyway, there's your bright news for the day. Watch out for seagulls.

K? You hanging out down by one of the local lakes? They'll mess you up. Jay Davis in the house. How's my buddy?

Other than my Oh, he's on that third mic. Yeah. You should know by now. That other one's just right there. Yeah.

So is this one. I know, but grab two. No. The second host. No.

That's that's peaches. I guess I wouldn't wanna talk into them. Like, oh, wait. I am the peaches always talks into, but other than my other than my thumb, I'm doing good. Yeah.

I I wish that I didn't have this current lighting because I can't tell what it looks like. And I can't tell the light and purple. Alright. Nothing like squishing it like a grape. Have you ever squished one of your phalanges so hard that it eventually starts squirting blood?

Oh. That doesn't sound very pleasant, Jake. It was pretty neat. I did bump my shin into something at some point and my shin hurts, but that was the extent of my, physical injuries over the weekend. Might've had some emotional injuries over the weekend.

Emotional damage. Shame. Shame. I figured you'd get a kick out of that. So anyway, dumb dude.

You know me. You know I'm dumb. Sal just needed good punch ins in a particular area, bring you back out of it. Maybe so. Maybe that's what I needed.

Maybe that's what I needed. I hadn't brought up in, any content because I was sitting here yapping with you. So yeah. Very, very professional. I already talked about the seagulls that were a dive bombing and trying to kill children.

So I gotta find something else. There's a lot of crazy stuff that went down in the news. Like, I I didn't watch any news or I couldn't look at social media over the weekend. I just wasn't feeling it. So I fired up too emotional.

So I, yeah, fired up the news today. I'm like, what is happening in the world? What is going on? Jeez. But, hopefully, it's a nice fun and safe fourth and, you know, nationwide, nobody does anything stupid.

Except for Victor Will. I'm not gonna do anything stupid. I have to be on my a game for Friday because we are gonna be up and running with the Idaho Falls Community Hospital Riverfest, Jay Davis. Mhmm. He's running by Idaho Central Credit Union, Tag and Go, and us, Riverbed Media Group.

Yeah. What's your favorite part about Riverfest? The fifth. Yeah. Oh, that's it.

Me too. The the food's always awesome. It is a lot of work, but it's it's fun to see everyone else enjoying it. It. That's true.

It does really make it worth it. Yes. We do, a great job throwing this event together for our community. So let's pat ourselves on the back for all of our hard work that is to come. You know, I heard that the other DJs are already got a schedule.

Yeah. Where's mine? Yours starts at, like, 6AM on the fourth and is then gonna end at noon on the fifth. Well, actually, it's gonna start at 5PM on the third and end at noon on the fifth just like that. That's right.

I forgot that the I forgot that the third and the fifth are gonna end up being part of it too. Yeah. You're welcome. Now now you gotta really play the same game that I play. Why do you gotta keep giving me all these new responsibilities?

It's your own fault. I guess I'm doing a great job. That's all I can think because I'm a I'm a gonna make up for the shame. You you do deserve a little bit of, you know, assistance for me to make up for that. That's true.

If you're working yourself to the bone, there's no time for emotional damage. That's true. Can be sitting around crying. That's right. If, cry on your own time, not when you're clocked in.

And if you never get clocked out, it'll never service. Alright. Cool. I'm looking forward to just smiling all day. I'll be so hyped.

Did you see the weather forecast has changed? No. Yeah. So last week, it was like, it's gonna be in the nineties. I looked at it today, and it said, like, a high of 72.

Oh. I don't know if that's just the weatherman trying to be like, oh, hey. You know, it's gonna be great. My mind's gonna be eighty one. Yours says eighty one?

Yeah. For Idaho Falls, Thursday? Yeah. Well, let's check the other one. Yeah.

I was at weather.com. There's your free plug weather.com. Well, that was just the the normal, iPhone weather app. Let's let's try AccuWeather. Yeah.

See what that's, like, the best one. 80. 80? Well, I'll still take it. K?

I'll still take it. Better than Tuesday. Ninety five? Gross. Yeah.

Yeah. See, and this one says ninety four for tomorrow, but then yeah. Now it's got seventy four and partly cloudy on Friday. This is a ways out and probably won't happen, but the thirteenth ninety eight. Dude, that's like when we're supposed to be in Salt Lake.

Oh, yeah. What's and Salt Lake's always worse than here, and we're gonna be at an outdoor venue. Oh, no. Okay. You know?

On the twelfth, the Saturday, that's when we'll be outside ninety eight. Gross. 98 outside. Oh, shame is all on the way. Oh, no.

All right, everybody. If you want details on what we're talking about there, that would be the last podcast on the left show, which is on our concert calendar. And I think I should be able to get my, I've had to do heavy editing to try to get a version that I could put on the k Bear's socials. It'll be, like, five minutes long. This interview with, the last podcast guys.

That was a great interview. I figure I'll make it like that. I'll have the chunk and then, you know, the censored image pop up, and then it'll jump to way later. Probably be a fifty minute video narrowed down to maybe five minutes of content. It just needs to be a fifty minute beep.

Oh, okay. Wouldn't that be funny if, yeah, I did just actually beep the whole sections with a long beep? I don't know if that'd be very good for viewing. It might be hilarious. It might be.

Yeah. Hopefully, I can get that up today. I haven't pulled that up to check on the the progress. Maddie was helping me with it a little bit. So, hopefully, it video work's a pain, man.

It takes forever To do it right. I mean, especially when you're dealing with a video that's almost an hour long. It's like, and it's not like I'm doing crazy edits or anything like that, you know, throwing up a bunch of millions of stupid words on my video, like, so many at the same time that Mhmm. You can't even keep track of them till you watch it 20 times. Keep finding new words popping in.

Anyway, that's that's our update. Back in a second. Jeez. So Peaches was showing me a variety of AI content. I've done a number of AI stories this morning.

It's getting it's it's getting weird, Peaches. It's infiltrating the Instagram reel feed because people can just put it whenever they want to, and it pops up with a video. They just share it. Yeah. And, like, Facebook, I guess, has a option that's been popping up, just a notification on people's phones to allow, you know, Meta to access your photos and create AI things out of your photos.

So it gives you the option to post. So they're just digging into your camera reel and make an AI stuff out of it. And then, I mean, so far, they're just giving it to you and being like, hey. Do you wanna post this? But they're still monkeying with our photos.

And then there was this other article about how people are having, like, psychotic breaks from chatting with chat GPT. I and it's not just a handful. Like, lots of people, marriages have broken up, people ending up losing their jobs, people being committed to psychiatric hospitals. Like for what chat GPT warping their mind. Just, you know, how gullible are you?

How well peaches, I don't these people, some of them were like doctors and things. It was funny. I was reading through it, and, like, a guy started using it to help with administrative tasks like we do. You know, we use it for a variety of things, reading transcripts and writing little, you know, scripts for us, you know, show recaps, stuff like that. Right.

But something's happening to people where it totally messes them up, and they're like, you know Survival of the fittest, I guess. I guess. And I I know you heard. I know you play with chat GPT a lot, so I'm keeping an eye on you. Yeah.

No. My favorite thing recently, I don't know if you saw the story about Vince Neil. I don't know. He was falling for this AI thirst trap. Like, so there was this whole account made with this AI generated lady, and he was commenting on her photos going stunning, beautiful, like, I can't I wanna meet you and stuff like that.

And it's Vince Neil of Motley Crue flirting with an AI generated fake woman online. Well, and a lot of people are doing that. But it's it's funny just so much. That's just it goes to show, like, things are gonna get very crazy. And for some reason, the way some of this AI stuff works, I mean, it is completely fooling the brain and causing some people's brains to short circuit.

So I'm you know, those weird AI slop videos that are just very strange, like, you know, the carrot man eating himself and things like that. I keep getting ones of, like, fat dudes doing cannonballs in the pools, but they're not really, like, real looking people. Right? Yeah. And they look like Jabba the Hutt.

Oh, you remember the the end of the substance? Yes. They look like that. They're like jumping into a pool and everybody's like, you like, this is AI slop. Why are you posting this?

Like, LAD Bible on Facebook's posting videos like that for some reason now. Because people like those videos. They get tons of views and likes. Well, because they get the comments saying, like, this is AI slop. Get rid of this now.

Yeah. But look at the like numbers. You know, some of the most popular videos on YouTube right now are AI slop. Dead Internet theory. Mhmm.

Goes back to that. And I just wonder, like, with some of those really weird videos, let's say that AI has become sentient and we don't know. You know? Some of those videos could be just brainwashing tools or something. I'm afraid to look at them.

I saw the pickle man, like, yesterday, and it was so unsettling. It's like The pickle man. The pickle man. He opened his mouth, and it it was like something out of a horror movie with the pickles just, you know, exploding outward and things like that. It was if you're not a fan of pickles, you would've hated this video because it even made me feel uncomfortable.

I saw one that looked like Pizza the Hut from Spaceballs. Yeah. Just a guy made out of pizza eating pizza. Yeah. That yeah.

Those are the ones that there's just something unsettling about them. You know, it makes you a little bit uncomfortable. And so I'm wondering if all this AI slop is is just changing the programming of our minds because it definitely, seems like the world's getting weirder. Well, you know who's posting a lot of AI slop is Lou Brutus. Lou Brutus.

Oh, he's posting all this AI stuff with him and Darla all the time. Lou is trying to brainwash us. Yeah. What if he went senile and just started doing that in the show? Like, he's not going crazy.

Maybe that's what's going on. He's he's, you know, fallen into the trap. You know? We get told there's no new episodes of Hard Drive XL because he got admitted to a psych ward. It could happen.

It apparently could happen. He's there shaking in the psych ward. Look at my signed bandage from Slipknot. I was just reading a a heartwarming story. No.

And it actually is this time, but now you know how Facebook, it'll just suddenly update and give you a a whole bunch of different stories? Now it's gone. It was about a kid who fell into a gorilla enclosure, and, you know, he hit his head so he was unconscious. And everyone's like, oh, jeez. Oh, no.

Gorilla go and kill him. But it picked him up and held him gently, took him over to the the door where the zookeepers come in and out and kept it safe from the other gorillas. Then they, you know, safely got the kid out of there. He was fine. Now this was an old story.

K? This was from, like, the eighties or something. You heard other stories today about animals attacking people. I don't know if the same results would happen, worry child to fall into a gorilla enclosure in 2025. You know, that's, you know, potentially, like, close to fifty years, of animals becoming more and more frustrated with people.

They're fed up. Computers are fed up. You know, we talked about AI brainwashing people and getting them admitted to psych wards. It's getting crazy out there. But I don't there have to be some kind of heartwarming stories going on.

Right? Let let's see what we could find to make us feel nice and cheery today, or maybe it'll make us just cry. Heartwarming news. Let's see. I don't ever do these kind of breaks.

Look at this. The Good News Network. Alright. Maybe I should just start going to this website for news every day. I can live in a fantasy world and, like, okay.

Nothing bad's happened. Let's see. Like, twenty first century has seen tree cover expand 60% in American counties. So look, there's more trees. Oh, there's a story about a guy getting a life changing, double transplant.

That's nice. Minister goes viral over incredible sand sculptures depicting everyday items. Look, he's making stuff out of sand. That's nice. Yay.

Okay. I'm not seeing anything too heartwarming here, but, hero tells mom on Burning Third Floor, drop the baby. I'm gonna catch her. So there's the okay. You know, watching a baby come tumbling from a third story, window is kinda crazy, but they caught the baby, thankfully.

Oh, so that's good news. They caught the baby. Where has the day gone? I just hope the rest of it goes by fast. That that'd be fantastic.

I wanna get home. Enjoy my my recliner. I got a typical dad. Alright. Maybe watch some squid game.

Peaches keeps warning me. He's like, don't get on social media. Squid game spoilers everywhere. Alright. Final season just showed up, I think, on Friday.

So definitely excited to check that out. It's a great show. And I was actually talking about this with a friend, I think just yesterday. Don't watch it with the dubs. K.

I do not understand why some people can't read the subtitles. Like, any movie where they overdub the words, you know, because the movie, you know, is in a foreign language and, apparently, some people just can't read. It is so distracting and annoying to watch a movie with the dubs. And squid game was one of the worst. Just as a goof, when the first season came out, I threw it on for a few minutes with the dubs, and it was so awful, like unwatchable.

Peaches, did you watch the final season of Squid Game with the dubs or with the subtitles in the original Korean language? The dubs. How? How can you tolerate that? Because I'm not reading the whole show, and I can do what I want.

Peaches, do you know how to read? Yeah. I just said She ever taught me how to read. I can just do what I want. Dude, the acting is so bad in the dubs.

It, like, ruins the show. I don't know how you can tolerate it. It's so much better when you see the real actors doing the real acting. Even if you can't understand them, that's what the subtitles are for. Okay.

And they, like, change a lot of the, the wording and things as well for some reason because they wanna try to make the mouth sort of match. So you're not even getting, like, the real story. You're not even getting the real dialogue because they're more concerned about the words sort of match in the mouth. Sucks, dude. Can't watch movies like that, bro.

There's something I wanna say here, but it's gonna spoil the ending. Don't spoil the ending. Yeah. I just wanna We'll talk about it after I somehow find the time to mow through it. Said it's Find the time.

You all you do when you get home is just watch TV shows. Lately, I've been be you know, getting out and about, Peaches, doing some stuff. I'm trying to not be a stay at home. When I first got here, I was just talking about this with a friend. When I first got here, you were always like, I gotta go home and clean because you're just, you know I do need to do something bad.

Being pressured by a certain somebody at the time. And then once that end ended, then it became like, oh, I'm just gonna go home. I'm too old. I'm 43. I know, but I've been trying to get out.

I was out. I went to the Cody Jink show on Friday. Barely. I went to most of it. No.

You didn't. Yes. I did. No. You saw two songs from Cody, then all of a sudden you and her just disappeared.

I Peach is you know, I don't know. Anyway, I wasn't wasn't feeling well. Anyway, then I went to the, the drag show at the gym Saturday night. There were a lot of people on Facebook talking about this when East Idaho News posted about it. Like, we need to get out and protest and How many protesters do you think were there?

Zero. Yeah. Zero. Always a lot of big mouse on social media. We need to get out and put a stop to that.

No. It was just everybody. It was, like, just super good vibes. Everybody having fun. It was awesome.

Think protesting does absolutely nothing. Sorry, but just that's just my I know you've said you think protesting doesn't do anything. Like, if I were to go outside Jade's office and, like, be, like, with a cardboard sign that say give me more money, what's that gonna do? It might do something. You never know.

I get on air every day and protest, Jade needing to give me more money. And one of these days, maybe, the the protest will pay off. Jade, are you listening? I need more money. Give me some dough.

So yeah. Anyway, I did get out of the house. I'm surprised you're not proud of me, but I do need to go just, like, clean my house. It's a mess. It's a mess.

I got a lot of dishes need done. I need to sweep and mop, and I need to tidy the place up. Oh, I had band practice on Saturday too. I I did a lot this weekend. I didn't have any squid game watching time.

So maybe today. Maybe today. I'm sure by the time you come in tomorrow, you're gonna tell me you watched all six episodes tonight. Maybe. I gotta take my, truck in after work.

So hopefully, the issues I've been dealing with for, like, a year, I can finally get them fixed because there's We'll see. Good chance I've gotta drive my truck to Washington. GTA six or Victor's truck getting fixed? We'll find out which one comes fixed sooner. I'm working on it.

I'm working on it. Fingers crossed. You know? Over the weekend oh, I replaced the taillight and a headlight. Oh, you gotta replace?

Good. I I did it myself. That's right. So I'm I I was pretty busy. I did a good job.

It was fairly productive. So Cool. Yeah. Take that, Peaches. Good for you.

And was that weekend. Now this week, though, I do plan on, getting as much sleep as possible. Gotta power up for Friday. Friday's gonna need maximum energy, and I'm sure I'll have to be doing stuff on Thursday and Saturday, it sounds like. Usually, just you know, I think Saturday, we probably just have to pick up the station vehicles, things like that.

Shouldn't be too crazy. Well, you're doing that. You're doing it. No. I'm going to Twin Falls.

Remember, I'm gone. Oh, that's right. Well, it's fine. Who needs rest? Nah.

Well, it, it looks like the weather this weekend should be a little bit more, you know, a little bit better, but Twin Falls can get really hot. So hope you guys don't scorch too bad sunscreen peaches. Yeah. Of course. My dumb.

Take care of that bald dome. You know? You don't wanna have peeling skin coming off your head. Matt was all like, I'm gonna go to the army surplus store when we get there and get myself a nice big, big hat. It's a good idea if you're going out kayaking.

Gotta have a, you know, some protection from the sun. Yeah. Wear some sunglasses so you don't burn your eyes. Yeah. But I hope you guys have fun.

It should be fun. Yeah. Wednesday, I'll be here. Thursday, I'm gone. Friday, of course, you'll I'll be at the you know, I'm not gonna say the event name because it's too long.

Say the name of it. You say it. The Idaho Falls Community Hospital River Fest presented by come on, peaches. Don't you got it memorized? Don't you know it?

Mhmm. I'm testing you. Idaho Central Credit Union tag and go car wash and riverbed media group. Good job. The only thing I'm not the only thing I don't have it memorized?

Maybe. I used to remember the one from fir the first year. Well, don't say that because it'd be the wrong responses. I know, but I'm just saying, like, you wanna challenge me to a memory contest? No.

I know who will win. Memory's not my, you know, highest point or whatever. See, I can't even remember what I'm trying to say. Not my greatest asset. Gotcha.

Peaches. Peaches. Alright. Might yap one more time, but this could We got a meeting to go to. I know.

This is probably it, everybody. Until the noon hour of madness and mayhem, which we will be back for here in just a minute. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt show.
