The Viktor Wilt Show

Know what sounds good on a Monday morning? A job where you don't have to do much of anything. Wouldn't that be pretty nice? I don't know. Maybe you need to be kept busy.

Me? No. If I had a job where I could just sit there and read books all day oh, yeah. That'd be glorious. You'd assume you'd have to take a pay cut, though.

Right? But I was reading through a thread online about people talking about jobs where you don't do anything or not much, and some of these people are making pretty decent dough. There was one who was, like, I don't know, answered phones for a hospital remotely. So they work from home, and they just kinda route IT calls for, you know, some hospital somewhere. $50 an hour.

$50 an hour. You just gotta be good with customer service. You know who's good at answering phones? This guy. How do you get that gig?

You know, there's other gigs I read about on here, like security guards. You You know, you sit in a building all night, check some cameras, walk around every once in a while. But I've seen enough horror movies and action movies to know, well, there the day might come when you have to be a security guard. You know? You might have to confront somebody.

No. I don't know about that. That doesn't sound great. I'd rather, route phone calls. $50 an hour.

Holy cow. Yeah. Working on the help desk at a hospital. They said they get, like, 8 to 10 calls, and they're usually only a few minutes long. And then they just sit around making that dough.

Crazy. Crazy. Well, anyway, if you wanna look through that thread, find yourself a new new job where you can kick back and relax a little bit, maybe you like scrolling on your phone, well, just go to the Ask Reddit page. People with jobs where you don't do anything. Alright.

I gotta get back to my multitasking. There's certainly no, not doing anything today. Yeah. People ask why I don't wanna do anything in the evening. Brain work.

Yeah. Takes a lot out of you, a surprising amount. Anyway, I'm gonna go back to staring at the computer. Well, I'm happy to report at least as far as I could tell doesn't wreak outside like it did Friday. Jeez.

Yeah. Saw lots of complaining about smells in Idaho Falls on social media over the weekend. Again, I don't know what was causing some of the stentches because depending on what area of town you're in, you know, it was a different kind of stink. It was awful. Gotta get yourself one of those, air purifiers for inside of the home.

If it's bad enough outside that that nasty stench is creeping inside, you gotta have some kind of way to deal with that. I guess a candle might work, but sometimes when you try to cover up a scent with another scent, they just mix together and you get, like, vanilla stank or something. Oh, I was so grody. Anyway, yeah, if there's anybody who can lock down exactly what the problem is because I mean, I've read some pretty good speculation online, but I'm not gonna dive into that. Just if you have the means to help fix the problem, it would be nice to go outside and enjoy some of that Pacific Northwest fresh air.

You know? It's one of the benefits to living in a smaller community. Right? You don't have smog? Well, I guess we have our own kind of smog.

Hopefully, it won't kick in when it, you know, warms up a bit throughout the day. Ugh, grody. It's not like I had a ton to do outside, but I wasn't gonna go out and do anything. Nothing. Well, some people have a lot more time on their hands than me and are a lot more skilled and creative.

This guy is down in Florida. Actually, did something that didn't end up getting him put in jail. He decided to decorate his yard with a giant leg lamp from a Christmas story. Like, 20 feet tall. 20 feet tall.

And, yeah, he just, like, made this thing. No. I don't need this on a Monday morning. I don't need seeing Yeah. All these things being accomplished by people on the weekend.

Hey. I did some laundry and some dishes. Alright? I I was sort of productive this weekend. Actually, come to think of it, I got even more than that done.

I did pretty good. Excuse me for not throwing together a 20 foot leg lamp, but I do my best. Actually, took it pretty easy on the, Christmas decorations this year. Got the tree up, a few miscellaneous items around the house, and that's it. Not putting up any lights outside, not doing anything outside.

I am avoiding every second of outside that I can. So yeah. What? I'm gonna go out when it's 30 degrees and put up a leg lamp? You can only do that in Florida.

Now I'm sure that some of you around here aren't as unmated unmotivated by cold temps as me. I don't like it. I'm old gonna end up in Florida at this rate Alright. Everybody gets a little bit stressed at work from time to time. Right?

I mean, unless I don't even know what kind of job you could have that you never get stressed. But if so, congrats. Oh, good for you. Anyhow, if you do get stressed at work, don't tell anyone. Jeez.

There's this new company called Yes Madam. It's a salon home service start up, And I guess they sent out a company wide survey asking people about stress on the job. And well, after the survey results rolled in, this is what HR sent out to everybody. Dear team, recently, we conducted a survey to understand your feelings about stress at work. Many of you shared your concerns, which we deeply value and respect.

As a company committed to fostering a healthy and supportive work environment, we have carefully considered the feedback. To ensure that no one remains stressed at work, we have made the difficult decision to part ways with employees who indicated significant stress. They fired the stressed employee. Are you stressed out? Get this decision is effective immediately, and impacted employees will receive further further details separately.

Thank you for your contributions. Best regards. Yes, madam. Yeah. About a 100 people reported back that they'd been fired after indicating in the survey that they were a little bit stressed on the job.

Holy cow. So you think your boss is bad? Well, at least hopefully, you can let them know. Hey. I'm feeling a little bit stressed, and they don't just kick you out of the building immediately.

Oh, yeah? We're about to be a lot more stressed, buddy. Won't you get? Morning. It's the Victor World Show or afternoon or evening or whatever, depending on what time you're listening to this program.

Available on demand. Everywhere podcasts can be found. Let's take a look at some strange company blunders. You know, sometimes businesses don't make the best decisions and, well, don't work out great for them. Like, back in 2009, I don't remember hearing about this.

Maybe I just wasn't very in touch with the video game world at the time, but I guess in 2009, electronic arts shipped out brass knuckles along with their upcoming game, The Godfather 2, to people working in the press for promotional purposes. Yeah. I can imagine that showing up here at the station. Alright. Here's your complimentary copy of The Godfather 2 and your brass knuckles.

That's right. You wanna mess with me, peaches? Yeah. These are illegal weapons in many states and it's also against the law to, ship them. So they're like, please, please send them back.

And then the reviewers who got the brass knuckles gave it, you know, gave the game bad reviews anyway. So that's why we haven't seen any more Godfather games. I don't remember there being Godfather 1, let alone 2. What else do we have here? In 2006, McDonald's Japan ran a promotion in which 10,000 m p 3 players would be awarded to lucky customers.

That's pretty cool. You know, back in 2006, having an m p 3 player would have been awesome. At least till you hooked it up to your computer to try to put music on it, and, yeah, it had a virus. Yeah. Every one of those m p 3 players had a virus, which stole data when you connected it to a computer.

So McDonald's then had to award them an extra bonus prize and antivirus software for their computers. Oh, jeez. All of these things popping up on here. I don't know why I don't remember hearing about them. Like, did you ever see Doritos unleash a new, like, mascot, Chippy, which was a person with a Dorito as their head that did, stand up comedy relating to mental health awareness.

I don't remember seeing that. Like, the nightmarish image of Chippy that's in front of me. I don't know if I need to see that this early in the week. That is definitely nightmare fuel. Jeez.

Alright. Well, anyway, just, you know, maybe reach out to some people when it comes to making some of these business choices. If I find any of these others that are, really good, I'll I'll share them with you. Been kind of a slow news day so far, but we'll see what we could find. I'll be back.

Let's talk about cartoons a little bit. Cartoons for adults. Alright. No. Not those kinds.

Settle down. Let's start off by talking about this South Park watch. Who on earth is gonna buy this? This is just absurd. Alright.

I like South Park a lot. And if I was going to buy a watch, I suppose South Park watch, why not? Here's why not. $572. It's not even like made out of gold.

It's just a South Park watch, far as I could tell. But it does come with, you know, extra wristbands if you wanna change the color. Yeah. Yeah. It comes with 5 of them.

Brown, green, black, light blue, or orange. Alright. Well, good luck to them. I'm sure that there are people out there with way too much money who will buy these kind of things. Can you imagine having $500 just to blow on a watch?

Some of you might outside of my budget. So let's talk about something I can't afford, new episodes of king of the hill. Now there hasn't been any kind of official release date, but the supposed 10 titles for the new season of King of the Hill have leaked online. I'm pretty stoked on this. King of the Hill is a great show.

It's a classic. You know, the newer episodes of Beavis and Butthead that Mike Judge made, I thought were really good. I think those are pretty much, you know, done now. They didn't promote it very well. I I don't know.

So, hopefully, they'll do a better job with King of the Hill. Maybe it'll stick around. Looks like Bobby Hill will be all grown up. There have been, couple images that dropped. One showing Bobby to be a self taught chef and one of the youngest contestants on a program called King of the Grill.

Anyway, that's all we really know about it. Most of the people from the original series are returning to do their voice work. However, some people have passed on. Johnny Hardwick, the guy who did the voice of Dale Gribble, as well as Britney Murphy and Tom Petty who played Luanne and Lucky. So I don't know if those characters are gonna make a return with a new voice or what, but I'm excited for it.

King of the Hill always puts a smile on my face. Who don't like Hank Hill? Right? Mhmm. Anyway, if I get a release date, I'll let you know.

But looks like, I mean, they've wrapped up just about everything, so should be coming soon. You know, I am not very athletic. That might come as a surprise. You know, do you long time listeners? But some people are.

Some people do it as a profession. Some kind of sporting activity. I was looking through this article about painful ways athletes enhance their performance. I'm like, why? Right out of the gate, they're talking about people breaking their own bones to give themselves an advantage.

What? What? And I guess this practice has been banned. It's called boosting. Now some people just do simple things like something as simple as tightening a strap around your leg.

But, I mean, people will do weird things. Like, you know, shocking themselves. Shocking themselves and breaking their own bones. I don't know. There's probably a good scientific explanation for this that I'm not pulling from this article, but, don't break your own bones.

Holy cow. A lot of different surgeries and things, but apparently, even things as basic as a baking soda. You just eat some of it before a race, and some places will, you know, accuse you of doping for doing that. I mean, it's it's baking soda. I didn't know baking soda gave you any kind of advantage other than a less stinky fridge.

Yeah. Apparently, exercise produces acid in your muscles, and so be sodium bicarbonate is a base which neutralizes the acid, lets you push harder. So I guess if you need to run real far, don't take any kind of medical advice or tips from anyone on the radio ever. They don't know anything, and they includes me. But some of these I'm not even gonna get into here.

Athletes be weird, man. Shouldn't be injecting those kind of things into yourself, and they're not even talking about drugs. Anyway, that's that. I'm gonna dig up some freak news. Aye?

Freak news powered by Greasemonkey voted Idaho's best oil change. Alright. Let's begin. Why you should take a week off from work according to science? Oh, okay.

I don't even need to read the article. See you. Week off from work sound pretty good. Pretty good. I think I need to do one of those staycations where I take a week off, but it's just kicking back at home.

The last bit of time off I took was pretty much, I'm gonna drive my truck all day. I mean, we went a lot of places. We did about, what, 1800 miles in 4 days. I mean, it was a lot of driving, but it was good. Would have been better with more, kickback time, however.

So, yeah, again, I don't even need to get into this article. I'd just like to encourage you to take a little bit of time off. Well, today's a good day to do it. Maybe you're on your way to work right now. Call in sick.

Go back home. When I woke up this morning, I was like, man, my house is feeling pretty cozy pretty cozy and comfy. Here I am. Should be on a week vacation. Alright.

What else do we have here? Apparently, illegal wildlife trading is booming on social media. Yeah. People are selling, like, bodies of endangered species. You know, and how well they keep an eye on every little thing we do, you would think this would be stopped pretty easily.

I don't know. I guess the authorities are focused on other things. Yeah. Don't buy or sell endangered species. It's not cool.

It's not very nice. Alright. Let's try to help the animal populations, you know, increase a little bit. Go on the Facebook market. Bald eagle.

Yeah. Mounted. Look at it. Wouldn't surprise me at all with some of the other things I've seen for sale on the, Facebook marketplace. Let's see.

What else did we have here? TikTok might be banned. We we've heard that for a while now. I guess they have until January 19th to sell and find a buyer, a US company, I guess. Or US app stores and Internet services could face hefty face hefty fines for, hosting TikTok if it's not sold.

Now I have a feeling there will be some kind of extension or some people are making too much money on TikTok for them to just outright ban it. You know? Though, I mean, the government makes some pretty stupid decisions at times. So I don't know. Now security risks, this and that.

Sure. Let's make sure that apps we're using are in line with how they should be from that kind of standpoint, but, again, people are making so much dough. I all it takes is, you know, mass backlash. Well, maybe I shouldn't say that. People have been demanding a lot of things for years and no changes made.

We still have daylight saving time, so never mind. They'll probably ban it. Anything else here? I know it had more, but I don't know. Some lady brought a, pot of noodles into a jail that was labeled pot noodles.

And, apparently, security didn't think anything about it. Now they're mad because somebody managed to sneak, pot noodles, noodles that were, infused with illicit substances into a jail. Well, yeah, read the label. Read the label. It's like the person who, what, a couple months ago got busted with a bag of drugs that said bag of drugs when they got pulled over.

Yeah. I don't know. It's just funny to me that, someone would risk that kind of trouble and throw a goof in at the same time. People are dumb, though. People are dumb.

Well, and I guess they got away with it at least at first. Well, we're headed into the holiday season or we're in the midst of it, I'm sure you could use more money. Yeah. One thing that helps out during the holidays, it's money because you might be spending a lot of it. Well, we're giving you the shot at winning some money.

Teamed up with the Idaho lottery to make your holidays a little bit brighter, giving away $2.50 Idaho lottery prize packs loaded with Kriskring Krisp Kringle bills. That's hard to say. Naughty or nice Mary Sevens and more scratch ticket favorite. So I mean, it's not a guarantee that you're gonna get money. You could get a lot of money.

You could get none. If you have the kinda luck I have with lotto tickets, $50 in scratchers and come out the other end, $50 in the hole. That's me. But, hey, these are up for grabs for free. So you're not really out anything either way, and you might win big.

Enter to win in any of our channel apps. Just fire up the Kay Bear alt or Cannonball apps and sign up. And if you're lucky, at the end of the week, we'll be letting you know, hey. Got $50 in the auto tickets for you and hopefully you win big. Does your baby look like a werewolf?

Apparently, this is becoming a major problem. Werewolf babies. And it's one of the parents to blame, not genetics, but people using Rogaine. Yeah. I guess, you know, babies are coming into contact with, you know, their parents' hair loss medication, and it's just making them really hairy.

People like, what's happened to my baby? Starting to look like a cat. Yeah. You gotta gotta keep him away from that, minoxidil. I mean, you might be able to go viral with a werewolf baby though.

So this might not be a bad thing. You know, you you go viral, you could make some money and everybody needs more money in this day and age. I don't think they should put these articles out there. It's gonna give people ideas. Wouldn't it be hilarious if my baby, like, looks like a baby werewolf?

This would be really funny. People were given their kids pet names. We talked about that a week or 2 ago. Yeah. This is my baby rover.

Check him out. Here's Buddy. He looks like a dog. I know. I know.

Yeah. Apparently, if you remove the minoxidil, you know, keep the baby away from it and it doesn't have any contact with it anymore, then the hair will go away. But if you've been wondering why your baby looks like a little beast oh, jeez. Don't tell me you've already got work for me. Come on, man.

Jake. It'd be as busy as I am. But it's the holiday season. I saw better. I saw a graph online.

You don't have family around? You can just work. No. Yeah. No.

That's that's why I get extra relaxation. You know? Just because I don't have family around. Because I don't have family around. Yeah.

So I should get to relax even more. Yeah. I saw a graph online that was, like, the 1st week of December, you pretend to care about work. And this week is when we start not pretending anymore. We just don't care.

And the last 2 weeks is just all out. I mean, that's what the music industry does in December. That's true. They're about ready to check out for the rest of the month. So I think we should do of January.

And most of January. Yeah. So why don't we get to do that? Come on, buddy. And if bands were smart, they would do a lot of boring about that time.

Oh, yeah. Like during COVID and all that. Why didn't they put out any new music? I know nobody was doing anything. You could have had all of the attention on you, especially the small bands.

Yeah. Yeah. It's the perfect time. I mean, radio, you might not get the exposure you need there because radio just goes, oh, okay. We're just not gonna do anything for a month.

And then they even get weird with it where they'll take out new songs and put in songs that, you know, were big hits of the last few years. You know, let's go ahead and, just beat people to death during the holidays with the songs they've already heard 10,000,000 times. This radio's dumb. I know, man. I know.

You saw that thread I got involved with online. Are they still going? I haven't looked for a while. It's it's settled down, but I'm building up for my next one. My new hobby when I have a few minutes is to antagonize the radio peeps.

The overnight pay for play spins? That's what we're gonna get into next is overnight splits. Really tip the lid off. Oh, yeah. Because I'm gonna say you should be ashamed of yourself if you play songs in overnights and pretty much everyone except us does that.

So it's pretty much calling out everyone. I don't dare you give yourself, give out the secrets. Yeah. Yeah. Hey.

We're supposed to keep our sleazy, business, you know, on the DL. Come in. But I'm too tired for that this morning. I'm not in the mood to stir it up yet. Figure maybe a little closer to Christmas.

When they're sitting around, They got nothing to do. Just make them feel bad about themselves during the holidays. You still have a job, you know, in radio. Well, you probably shouldn't. You're a loser who takes advantage of bands.

You might not by the end of the holiday season. Yeah. It's it's not my favorite month of the year. Especially if you work on an AC station where it flips from Christmas and back to normal. Oh, yeah.

They just goes back to normal. It's just a good time to Dude. Josh, beware, man. No wonder he's sweating down there. Queens of the stone age, one of the many bands no longer performing at sick new world.

Man, that's a bummer. It's not like I was really gonna go, but I really wanted to. We'd love to see, I mean, most of the bands that were on that bill. Sad. We don't have a lot of festivals in the west.

You know, we've got Aftershock, sick new world, whatever the emo one's called, when we were young. Yeah. It would be great to see a big music festival. Oh, no. Soul Lake City.

Salt Lake City is a baffling music market to me because it's one of the biggest cities in the country. Now it's what? Top 30 metro areas, and we don't have any of those big festival shows there. You know? Even not Phoenix or Los Angeles.

Yeah. I mean, they have that, you know, so called festival where they have, like, tool, ACDC, Metallica. You know? 3 nights, 2 bands each night. That's not a festival.

We'd love to see something outside of Aftershock come our way. And I think, honestly, I need to hit up Danny Wimmer. Be like, listen. Pocatello, centrally located between Boise and Salt Lake City, pretty much. Now you got Idaho Falls right here.

We have, you know, markets north of us, Bozeman, Missoula, etcetera. Pocatello's amphitheater is a perfect centralized location for a giant festival show. I mean, these are just things that pop into my head. I doubt anything like that will be happening, but it'd be a smart move. Because I've noticed, you know, like when tool came to Boise, salt lake, and Pocatello, or I mean, Idaho falls.

Excuse me. Idaho falls show sold out like bam. Boise and salt lake, much larger markets. When they don't have people from here putting their butts in seats, their shows suffer. It's amazing how many people go to shows from this region in Boise and Salt Lake.

And occasionally, I'll talk to someone in the music industry, and they're like, why do you guys wanna give away tickets to somewhere like that? Because they need our help. That's why. Anyway, music festival and pokey. It's what I'm calling for here on Monday, December 9th.

Hey. You know what? You can dream. Somebody curious if they're a jerk for refusing to eat food prepared with raw milk. Alright.

Let's let's dive in here. Raw milk, seem like I'm seeing about a 1000000 articles about that as of late. I guess it's a trendy thing right now. I don't know. To me, to each their own.

You wanna dive into that, that's fine. Makes me nervous, you know? And I'm not a big fan of milk anyway. I like cheese. Sure.

But a nice glass of milk? I don't know. Okay. Let's let's read this here. My coworker invited me to a dinner party at her place over the weekend.

This is a new job, so I was excited to make new friends. All was going well until we got to the food. She was clearly excited telling us all about the new recipe she had tried and how it turned out great. Mentioned she used raw milk to cook it with. I asked her about it, and she confirmed it was unpasteurized milk because it had better texture.

I said I didn't wanna eat it because I'm not comfortable having unpasteurized milk. She said since it was cooked on the stove, it was safe, but I said I'm sorry. I'm just not comfortable with that. So dinner was awkward as I only had bread and water. You ever been at a a meal where you're like, this is not what I was hoping for?

And then you gotta eat the food and you're like, you're just forcing it down. Yeah. I don't know. It'd be an awkward situation to be in, but, you know, if you're not comfortable eating some, you don't have to. Let's see.

The person then points out that when I went home after I looked up raw milk and found out there was a recall in my state because of bird flu. I wonder if okay. Cooking raw milk to make it safe. I don't know much about raw milk. Okay.

That's just basically pasteurizing the milk. And let's see. How do you do that? Do you just boil it or something? Okay.

Risks from drinking raw milk. Vomiting, diarrhea, pain, kidney failure, miscarriage. Jeez. What? I mean, I guess you you eat some, veggies that haven't been washed.

You could have a bad time too. So you need a big boiler, sterilized cooking thermometer, clean container. This sound like a lot of work. I just buy the milk that's already been pasteurized. But it does look like cooking it you know, it's gotta be helpful.

You know, it's like cooking raw meat. You know, you might have a meat that would, you know, really mess you up but you cook it and you're fine. I don't know. Again, just might be something to look into. Or if you've got guests coming over and you, you know, are into eating or drinking weird things, you might make that a specialty dish, you know, not the not the main course.
