#0161 - The Foot-Destroying, Brain-Cell-Losing Trend of the Week - 02/24/2025
Hi. I'm Victor Wilt. Welcome to the program today. Hope Monday's going by quickly for you. Hope it's good so far and hopefully we don't, well, gross you out here with habits people think are normal but you find secretly disgusting.
Okay. I don't know if these are actually going to be things people find normal. I'm guessing they'll just be things that are disgusting. Right? Currently, the most popular response on Reddit is when you're at the cash register and the next person in line stands extremely close to you while you're cashing out.
Now, I don't know if I'd call that disgusting. I guess it depends, you know, how bad the person smells or if they're packing some kind of a sickness. It's definitely annoying though. Annoying and uncomfortable. Like, step back a little bit.
Space bubble, people. Yeah. I can't stand that either. And if you think it's normal to, you know, creep up that close to somebody, you're weird. Okay?
Stop it. Okay. What else do we have here? Now, I wouldn't call this disgusting either. Just annoying people watching videos or you know TikTok on their phones in public.
You know, they they just got it blasting away. That's just weird. Again, not disgusting. Let's see here. Are any of these disgusting?
Okay. This one is. And I know my my lady's gonna be grossed out by this because the subject of cutting your your nails came up in discussion just yesterday. This person says a lot of their coworkers think it's okay to clip their nails at their desk. Don't do that.
K? That is gross. Whatever's up underneath your fingernails is disgusting, And sometimes the fingernails just go flying. You know, you can do your best to try to carefully trim them down so that they don't go flying across the room, but it's still going to happen. Imagine you're just trying to enjoy your cup of coffee and all of a sudden you see a fingernail floating around in there.
Sorry. I know it's gross. Oh, yeah. This is disgusting. Coughing or sneezing without covering your mouth.
Like, I I will almost leave a store if somebody is in my vicinity just coughing away. Like, what sickness do you have that you're going to pass on to me? Why aren't you covering your mouth? Yeah. I know people don't like being forced to wear a mask.
But if you can't cover your mouth when you're in public and you're just I think you should be required to wear a mask. Alright? Even if you've just got allergies, cover up. Alright? What else do we have here?
I'd have a shiver run down my spine anytime I was working a cashier job and a woman pulled out money from her bra to pay for something. Yeah. You know, sweaty money? It's not great. It's not great.
Licking their fingers to turn a page. Yeah. I don't like that either. You don't know you don't know where your fingers have been or maybe you do know where your fingers have been. I guarantee they're dirtier than you think.
Alright. Well, now that we've got some disgusting stuff out of the way, I'll do my best to dig up something that's, not gross because yeah. I don't know if I even wanted to hear about that stuff this morning. Let's see. Maybe I need to change my morning habits.
Eight morning habits of people who will never truly be happy. Oh, so these are bad habits. Things you should not do. Well, let's find out how many of these I do. Is it, waking up at, you know, an hour that is just unnatural?
I I would think that makes you a little bit unhappy. No. No. It's doing things like waking up and immediately grabbing your phone and starting scrolling away. That's a terrible idea in this day and age.
Now I do grab my phone fairly quickly in the morning to check for messages, you know, from a lady. Other than that, yeah, make sure that, I've still got a few times I can push snooze. Aside from that, yeah, I definitely try to avoid the scrolling first thing in the morning because I'll definitely get annoyed. And, being annoyed first thing in the morning, that is not a good way to start your day. Doing things like dwelling on issues from the last few days.
They say skipping any form of mindful practice, whether it's five minutes or of journaling, a quick meditation, or just a moment of intentional breathing. Okay. So hitting snooze a bunch of times and jumping out of bed like, oh, I guess I have to go. That's not what you should do. You should just kick back and breathe deep for a few.
The thought of doing that, that's just not gonna pop into my head at the hour I wake up. Like, I've thought about, okay. You get up extra early. Maybe hit the, treadmill for a few minutes. Now I'm gonna go ahead and hit snooze again and again and again.
Let's see here. You should also, have breakfast and hydrate properly. I don't ever have breakfast except on the weekends when I sleep in and then I'm essentially having lunch anyway. Alright. Well, we got any snacks around here?
I guess I do have toast and oatmeal here. I could have breakfast, but I don't know. It just doesn't sound good right now. Look what time it is. Let's see avoiding any physical activity.
So you should, at least do a little bit of stretching or a short walk again, back to that, treadmill. All I gotta do is turn it on, you know, power walk for a few. I can walk while I'm having some coffee. I don't know, man. Sounds like, I need just a total change to my morning ritual if I want to, be truly happy according to this article here.
Alright. Well, I did go to bed at a reasonable hour last night. That's a start. It's Monday. Boo.
But hopefully, your weekend made it worth it. I had a pretty good weekend. Did a lot of relaxing, which was great. Hung out with my lady watching, season 16 of RuPaul's Drag Race. That's what I did most of the weekend, and it was very funny and entertaining and, a good time.
Wish I was still sitting at home watching TV. Actually, maybe taking a little bit of a nap in that recliner. But aside from that, I actually left my house this weekend, which was good. Some of my friends from Pokey, you know, good friends were performing in some bands at the gym, so I went and checked out the show and it was a great time. TV dads killed it, and then my homies in a hot pursuit and modern methods also just just slayed it down.
Saw a lot of people I hadn't seen in a long time. It it was good. It was good. You know, Peaches, came and hung out as well. And, it was good to get out on the town with Peaches.
And then, stayed up way too late Saturday night. And, yeah. I'm sure that's part of the reason that Sunday went by so quickly. You know? Slept in a little bit.
Yeah. You you just can't win on the weekend. You know, sleeping in's great, but then all of a sudden the weekend's over. Oh, well. At least it was a fun and somewhat productive weekend.
I I did a tiny bit of chores, like, you know, bare minimum. And my daughter got a new cat. That was pretty fun. Daughter sent me some photos and videos of the new cat she picked up on, I think it was Saturday. And, it just looked so happy.
And there's something about seeing animals that get adopted seeming to be so happy about the fact that they have a home that it just make it puts a smile on my face. So that brightened things up. It was nice to see. And I hung out with my own cats. Yeah.
It it was a quality weekend. I think I need more coffee. It's okay. We're gonna get through this day. We're gonna power through it together.
But, man. We really need to move to always having a three day weekend. You know, I could have used one more day off as I'm sure you could have as well. So here's to the day going by quickly. Well, if you thought we were going to see the end of stupid TikTok trends, Well, you got another thing coming.
I was just reading about hashtag where'd it go here? It's kind of a long one. Hashtag dropping things on my foot. There we go. I wanted to make sure I gave you the correct hashtag, dropping things on my foot.
Doctors warning TikTok users. You may be facing a lifetime of pain and disability copying this viral trend. I watched video of this guy drop a, toaster on his foot. What people are doing is dropping heavy things on their foot and ranking how painful each item is. Things like vacuum cleaners, glass jugs.
Yeah, they're asking these kids in this article, why do you do this? Well, I love making content and laughing at myself. Yeah, till you're hobbling around for the rest of your life. Geez. Kids are dumb.
So I'm always trying to figure out you know good ways to make content for the Kay Bear pages. I'm sorry. I'm not gonna pick up the vacuum cleaner and drop it on my foot for your enjoyment. You know? Old enough as it is.
Probably wouldn't come back from it. Yeah. Just because you're young. I mean, you can damage yourself permanently. This is just so stupid.
Hashtag dropping things on my foot. Okay. Please don't do this, kids. Alright? What what shape is the world gonna be in in about thirty years?
I don't know what the long term damage from Tide pods would be, but, man, kids are dumb. Well, as I've been digging for content here, I was scrolling through East Idaho news and made myself hungry. They had an article under the, East Idaho eats section about Fuji. I have not been to Fuji in far too long. Fuji is so good.
If you haven't been to, Fuji and tried out the sushi or hibachi, you should go. They have locations in Idaho Falls and Pocatello. I guess I should technically say M and but, anyhow, it's a lot of fun. Back when my kids lived with me, Fuji was like the go to place for a birthday celebration. You know, you sit down at the hibachi tables and they they give you a little bit of a show.
The chefs are, you know, really, really funny. They do cool tricks. There's things getting lit on fire. It's fun. It's fun and the food is so good.
Yeah. I'm, now craving, thanks to the images they're showing, some sushi and some hibachi chicken. Sounds so good. Alright. Let's close that tab.
I mean, you should go give it a look because, again, maybe you've never been to Fuji. And East Idaho news, you know, it's a great place to find new places to try. That East Idaho eats section, you can find out details on all kinds, different restaurants in the area, And, I mean, we've had places opening left and right, so you may not have heard about some of these places. Fuji's been around a while, but, yeah. That sounds really good.
Really good. Anyway, I'm gonna get back to trying to find stupid news for freak news, which is coming up next. No more looking at snacks. It's too early to start eating like a pig. Jeez.
Sorry. I was pushing the wrong buttons. I had a prerecorded break ready to go in case I wasn't back in time after dropping off the old truck. Thanks for the ride, Peaches. Absolutely.
I'm eating this horrible nectarine that I put in that bowl of smelly pine cones where the pine cones used to be. Ugh. I took it out, washed the bowl out, and, yeah, still tastes like cinnamon. Dude, those cinnamon pine cones reek so much that, yeah, I would imagine it's hard to get the smell out of a dish they were in. Well, they've been sitting there since, I think before October.
Oh. I think when Winkel first started selling those bags of them. I hate those. I like them. I I I was trying to festive up my place.
You know what festive up. I was trying to make my place more festive. Yeah. Yeah. The just the potent smell of them.
It's too much for me. Too much. Speaking of too much, there's too much metal coming to the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater in, July. July eighth? July eighth.
The summer of loud twenty twenty five. That is pretty awesome. Read those bands on the lineup. I don't know. This is all one day.
There's two, four, six. There's eight bands here. Yeah. It's a festival. Kill Switch Engage, Parkway Drive, I Prevail, Beartooth, The Amity Affliction, The Devil Wears Prada, Alpha Wolf, and Kingdom of Giants.
You know, my favorite band, of course. Peach's favorite band and favorite place, Kingdom of Giants. Alright, dude. That's a great lineup. Yeah.
Time to reach out to, the old promoters there and line something up. We have to. July 8. That's a huge, huge show. That's that's great.
Wish we had that one coming right here to town, but I'll take it in Salt Lake. You know? I was gonna say you sound like one of our listeners. I gonna book a rock show in Idaho Falls. Yeah.
I I am starting to ask that myself now. Come on. It's February, twenty fourth. Get us a rock show booked. Well, we do have dropkick Murphy's and Bad Religion, so I shouldn't complain.
That is a rock show, but hopefully more. I'm I I like some of them, metal shows, peaches. Yeah. I'm sure we'll get something. But, anyway, get details on that on the post Fontaine Facebook page.
Doesn't look like they've put it up on their website yet, but that's a that's a sweet lineup. That's pretty awesome. So We know somebody for Beartooth, I think, we could try to contact. We we should have contacts for most most of those bands. So maybe we can line up some meet and greets and things like that.
So I'll tell over. I'll tell you who to hit up. Because Salt Lake City Cabaret doesn't play any single one of those bands, and I'm sure they'll be there first thing, you know, with their stupid car trying to promote the show. That's right. Gotta love radio stations showing up to events for artists they don't support.
That's my favorite. My favorite thing was hearing Shaggy say that the pick plays a lot of Megadeth way more than we do. I don't know about that, Shaggy. That's what I was I was like I don't know. But, anyway, we'll get the details on that show up at our concert calendar.
So go check that out at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. What else do we got going on around here? I can't remember which giveaway I talked about earlier today. Was it the Nintendo Switch, or was it the tickets to the dropkick Murphy's and Bad Religion? I don't know.
I don't know. So I guess we'll do, Nintendo Switch again. Teamed up with Brent Gordon Law just in time for the stupid time change, trying to make it a little bit better with a free Nintendo Switch bundle for one lucky listener. You can sign up in any of our apps, the Kay Bear app, the Cannonball app, the Alt one zero one app, once per app. Alright?
If you submit more than once per app, your extra entries go away, so you're just wasting your time. But, yeah. You want the best odds one time per app? And on let's see. It'll be next week.
End of next week, we will draw a winner for that Nintendo Switch bundle with Make the Switch with Brent Gordon Law. So get signed up now. I have a Nintendo Switch. It's loads of fun, and we're throwing in the latest Mario Party game along with a carrying case, so you'll have everything you need to game out and have a great time. Anyway, get in to win with make the switch with Brent Gordon Law.
You know, it's actually kind of a nice day outside. It was not freezing on my way here. Now there is some melt going on. So there are icy patches that are slick, you know, slicker than usual. So be a little bit cautious.
But looking at the week ahead, it's looking pretty good. I mean, we're talking about being up into the forties by the end of the week. It should be in the mid thirties throughout most of the week. Today, looking at a high of 43. That's the nicest day we've had in ages.
Fantastic. So, you know, it's almost over. Winter is it's almost over, everybody. We're making it through. Ugh.
And, thankfully, I have had enough. The only thing that sucks is I had a bunch of, like, goals I wanted to accomplish during the winter months. You know, just projects around the house and things. I have done none of that. Zero point zero tasks accomplished aside from chores.
I don't know what my deal's been. You know, I just need to get out of the lazy funk or something. But, anyhow, maybe nice weather will, motivate me a little bit. It's not like it's hard stuff I need to do. It's just tedious.
Tedious and time consuming. So, you know, you could be like me. Put it off. Put it off for another day. It's a good day to kick back and play video games.
I had a listener call earlier and recommend that you start each day by playing thirty minutes of video games. Said it was a wonderful way to kick off his day. He gets up early, has an ad to snow shovel, so he fires up video games for about a half hour and has a wonder wonderful time. I think that's a pretty good plan. We gotta call her, see what they want.
K Bear, you are live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this? Good morning, Victor. This is Dave.
Hey, Dave. What's up, Dave? Oh, no. It's my name is Jared. Glad to hear I'm not alone in this in this funk.
I've got all these tasks around the house to do, and it's just, well, maybe next weekend. Maybe next weekend. I'm like, why? How is the weather? It, weather's gotta be part of it.
I have, but I, I don't have a good explanation myself either. I am just not getting the things done that I need to do. I'm having a good time. I mean, I'm enjoying a lot of relaxation and playing video games, watching TV and movies. But yeah, there, there are things that, and the longer you don't do the tasks, the harder it is to get into them I've noticed.
And, yeah, abs absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. So I'm hoping And just some of them Yeah. Hoping a little bit of warmth and sunshine will will turn that around.
Yes. I agree. I agree. I just called to say I'm glad I'm I'm not the, not, not all alone there in that that factor there. So I'm hoping the weather breaks it.
Yeah. I mean, I was very proud of myself for getting out of my house on Saturday night and actually going out on the town. Like, I I don't ever do that. And, it was a good time. You know?
I I think it, it it was needed. You gotta get some of that, social interaction. That's not just at work. So Yeah. Yeah.
Yep. Yeah. Exactly. It was good. I know the severe cold I've been suffering with the last couple weeks hasn't helped.
That's for sure. Oh, yeah. Again, weather weather don't help. So, yeah. As soon as the weather breaks, get out, do a little something outside of my property, and then hope that'll help.
Yeah, man. I'm wishing you luck on the motivation front, and I hope you're feeling better after the, the sickness. Oh, yeah. 10% better as of today. Is that Oh, good.
Best look to you too, man. Hoping you can get getting your chores or your your, task you need to get done done. Yeah. I mean, if I get the work tasks done, I'll be alright. There's always, you know, another day for whatever needs to be done at home.
So I'm not too Kurt, too worried about it. It'll it'll get done eventually. Yeah. My brother. Well, we're off and roll.
Appreciate you. Hey, thanks, man. Hope you have a great week. Yeah. You too.
Take care. Peace. Later. Alright. It's good to know I'm not the only one slacking and in a funk.
You know, this time of year can be really rough on people. If you've been feeling down, feeling like you got a black cloud hanging over your life, you know, get in and get checked out by your doctor. Sometimes you, you know, might be dealing with, a vitamin deficiency or something like that. Maybe you've got some stress that you need to get in and, talk to somebody about. A lot of different things that can affect that motivation.
You know? Maybe you're boozing it up too much. Yeah. Don't do that. That'll kill motivation cause that makes the, you know, very boring activity seem like it's a good time till you wake up the next day and you're like, why did I do that?
And then you don't wanna do anything that day either. Another thing you might wanna get in and talk to somebody about. So we'll get through it. We're gonna get through this winter. It's been a long winter.
You know, anytime you've got an election year and then winter to deal with right after, it is mentally exhausting, especially in the current day and age. Like, there's a story going viral from Idaho. Like, it I I don't know if I'm gonna get into it on the show because it's Monday and talking politics, but, could Idaho stop going national, making us look like crazy people, making us look dumb? You know, it it it's never anything good when Idaho makes national news, but my entire Reddit feed, and these are not from Idaho based subreddits, are all sharing the same video. And I'm guessing it's gonna be another lawsuit that taxpayers are gonna have to pay for.
That's the thing when you got crazy people doing crazy things. Somebody's inevitably gonna sue. And when you're suing the government, we pay for it. We pay for it. So yeah.
Can't wait. Can't wait to see what hap I'm I'm so nervous to go do my taxes. I know it needs to be done, but last year was not good. It was one of my biggest let downs of the year, getting my taxes done, finding out how screwed I got on that deal. Hopefully, this year is better.
As long as it breaks even somehow, that'd be great, wouldn't it? Be wonderful. Anyway, wishing all of y'all luck when it comes to the tax situation. You never know what big brother gonna do to us. Pretty sure Peach has talked about this last week.
And I don't know why I never brought it up, but it's apparently a light news day. So we could talk about this student in China who was a little embarrassed by, well, a friend of his. He ended up lighting his dormitory on fire after trying to hide his inflatable girlfriend from his roommate. The way he decided to try to hide it was lighting it on fire. Couldn't you just, like, deflate it and stick it in a drawer or something like that?
You know, lighting a fire inside of a building is never a good idea. You know, deflate it and put it in the garbage. If he was gonna burn it up, he didn't want it anymore. Yeah. Put it in the garbage and put some, you know, disgusting stuff on top of it so your friend doesn't go digging through the trash.
Then you don't end up losing all of your possessions as your home burns to the ground. Luckily, nobody was hurt, but well, I guarantee this kid's ego's hurt because now he's made international news for this. You don't wanna be that guy. Alright? Don't wanna be the guy who was trying to hide his inflatable girlfriend, lit it on fire, and set the dormitory on fire.
You will end up being talked about on every radio station in the, in the universe, Anywhere where people can get access to this stories, you might have aliens laughing about it. Yeah. Well, sometimes you just gotta tell your friend. Hey. You know what?
It's my life. I can live it how I want. And this is my girlfriend. You know, your friend might think, you're a little bit weird but it's better than burning the home to the ground. Okay?
Just a suggestion. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show. This program is a production of Riverbend Media Group. To contact the show or for more information, hit us up at riverbend media group dot com.
