#0052 - Why you wanna be the guy inside of the combine. - 08/26/2024
Wait one minute. It was time for me to yap. Hey. What's going on? It's the Viktor Wilt Show.
How you doing? I hope okay. Hope everything going alright on a Monday morning. Alright. Looking like when the AI overlords, when the computers take over, Gen z is gonna be in the best shape.
I think I got bit by a bug. What's going on here? All of a sudden I felt all itchy. I looked down. I'm like seeing that.
Something bit me. Anyhow, back to the AI overlords. Can you tell it's Monday? Disheveled. Disheveled mess.
Victor Wilt on a Monday. It's just the fact there's too much to do today. Busy weeks get me a little bit like. So, anyway, would you say please and thank you to your AI assistant? Gen z does.
Yeah. Actually, about half of Americans think you should. Now that I see the one bug bite, I feel like I'm itching elsewhere. I don't like it. I don't like this one bit.
Okay. Gen z leading the what they call politeness parade in this article. 56%, always telling, AI assistance, please and thank you. I I've never used a verbal AI assistant, so I'm, like, completely out of touch. Apparently, millennials are pretty good about this too.
52%. Who do you think is the worst when it comes to being polite to their AI assistant? Of course, the boomers. That's right. The older you get, the more you're rude to your AI assistant.
I wanna find out what an AI assistant is. Yeah. Why be polite to a machine, you ask? 68% of respondents say it's just their way to be nice. I'm generally nice.
So I would imagine if I was talking to something regularly, even if I knew it was a compute computer, if it seemed like a person, I'd probably be like, hey. Thanks. Appreciate that. Please, please don't take over the planet. Sentient AI, which it'll it'll come our way eventually.
29% believe everyone deserves good manners, human or not. That's good. Pretty nice of humanity, about 1 third. Come on. Alright.
You you're nice to your pets. Right? Why not be nice to the computer? K? You don't know if it's, reached consciousness yet.
You don't know. And then here here's where it actually comes from. 39% think our behavior toward AI might come back to haunt us someday. So if you're just relentlessly rude to your computer when when it's able to take over all your bank accounts and, you know, everything, you're gonna wish you'd be nice to it. Alright?
So it's always good to be polite. Keep that in mind. Well, jeez, now I feel kinda bad about complaining about 1 bug bite. Oh, oh, poor me. I've got one bug bite.
What am I gonna do? This guy in the UK, he got stung by bees a 160 time. Not bees, wasps. Even worse. You know, Jade sent me a strange AI image of a bee, like, shooting a bunch of weird letters out of its abdomen last night.
It was very strange. So, you know, that wake up, arrive at work, discover a bug bite. It must've happened noticed it prior to that as I got going for the day if it happened at home, but it was only 1. Again, not 160. Alright.
You ready to hear about this to start your day? 160 wasp stings? Alright. What happened here was a local farmer's combine harvester went over the top of a nest in a field. Wasps don't like that.
Not one bit. So, this guy's outside and all of a sudden the sky turns brown with wasps and he starts running because what else are you gonna do? Help. Help. You you run at high speed.
Right? Imagine a cloud of wasps comes your way and starts just stinging the crap out of you. I would imagine what you do is just your natural instinct to run at high speed and try to get inside. Apparently, that is not what you're supposed to do. Imagine this.
Imagine trying to do this. Okay? Stay calm. Don't wave your arms around or swat at them. Just remain calm and move away slowly.
Also, they're not gonna be fooled if you try to play dead. Don't jump into water. They'll wait for you to come back up and just start stinging the crap out of your face. There's no good answer in this article as far as what you do if wasps attack. Just try to stay calm, you know?
Just try to stay calm and slowly walk away. That that seems impossible. I mean, I'm telling you this just in case but good luck. I know I'd be running a high speed swing of my arm like crazy, and that makes them even more mad. Yeah.
This guy coulda died. Luckily, he didn't. But, I mean, if you get 30 or 40 stings, that can kill you. So, yeah, get yourself to the doctor immediately. You know, they were able to pump this guy full of all kinds of stuff and, oh, this poor guy.
Again, back to me complaining about 1 bug bite. He hasn't been able to sleep. The bee or wasp stings are just turning purple, and they hurt really bad. Yeah. I've been stung by a wasp before and it doesn't feel nice.
I can't imagine a 160 of them. Probably make you sick. Yeah. He's like, they've gotten worse. I'm weak and I'm tired and I can't sleep and I'm just in pain.
I guess don't live by a farm either. Oh, man. That's terrible. Anyway, glad I could start your day with a nightmare. Alright.
I'll I'll find something more pleasant. We'll move on. Hello. Welcome to the program. We have launched another very cool giveaway today.

That is right. People be dumb, and you wouldn't believe the things that they believe. Let's see what things people couldn't believe they had to explain to another adult. And I'm kinda dumb. So I might learn something going through these responses to this question.
We'll see here. Let's see. When I worked at a doctor's clinic, I had a lady on the phone wanting to book an appointment to have her flu shot. She specifically asked for it to be a telephone appointment. I had to explain to her, we cannot inject her through the phone.
Yeah. Could I get a telehealth meeting, please? You know, can we do this on zoom? Flu shot. Let's get this handled.
I mean, alright. That's one I would not believe that you would have to explain to another adult. You would think they were trolling. Yeah. I'm gonna call the doctor's office and mess with them a bit.
Frank call. But, no, it would appear this is real. This is real. People be dumb. See, in regard to the north and south poles, neither is the one that is always hot.
I don't know why I could believe that somebody would think that one of the 2 poles, north or south, would be hot. I mean, it seems like nonsense we learn in school, the equator, that that's where it's, hottest. But for some reason, I'm not surprised that somebody would think either the north or south pole would be warm. I I don't know why. But I have met a lot of dumb people, and I myself am kind of dumb.
I'm not saying I believe that. I'm just saying that one for whatever reason is understandable. My husband had to explain to a co coworker that she couldn't take a train from the US to Europe. She insisted she had to because she didn't like flying. I'm going to the UK.
I refuse to fly. I mean, she could take a boat. I don't know if the guy threw threw that at her. It's gonna take forever. I mean, you're gonna wanna fly.
Alright? I don't know how long it takes to boat from the US to Europe, but I bet it's not quick. Alright? Just take the plane. Get over it.
Let's see. Used to work at a daycare. One day, a little mouse entered the premises and caused an uproar until we caught and released it in the playground. After the whole ordeal, one of my colleagues, who was the dumbest person I've ever met, said, let's hope it didn't lay eggs anywhere. In case you didn't know, mice don't lay eggs.
This is another one that I could see for whatever reason somebody thinking that mice lay eggs. Again, I've talked to some, you know, dumb people before. And if you think my sleigh eggs, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to call you dumb. Alright.
Settle down, Jade. I'm not trying to pick on you. Alright. I don't know why, but I I could understand somebody thinking that. Let's see here that you have to have a printer to print things at home.
What do you mean? Okay. Alright. Alright. Why a room below sea level on a cruise ship would not have a balcony?
Shouldn't be surprised. Shouldn't be surprised. That driving north meant the whole trip was uphill. I could definitely see people thinking that. North is up.
You know, I've seen it on the map. North is up. Alright. Some of these others I can't talk about on air. But, it's a pretty funny thread.
It is time for you to accept the truth. I don't know. I found an article about hard pills to swallow in your in your early twenties. No. I know we got a lot of listeners in their twenties.
So as someone who was there at one point, it doesn't seem like it was that long ago either. Like, all of a sudden, I went from, like, 20 to 40. Just bam. Very strange. But I figured since I lived my twenties, I would be able to tell you if these things are true and if they are hard pills to swallow when you're that age, if I had been told them.
Alright. I'll try to take myself back in time and get on your level here, and we'll see what we could do. Alright. Some relationships or friendships are meant to be temporary. Appreciate the memories and lessons they give you, but when the time comes, you have to let go and move on.
Definitely true. And I guess when you're younger, it may be harder to swallow that pill. But as you get older, I mean, at this point, so many friends have kinda come and gone or, you know, people I hung out with regularly are now more acquaintances. You know, especially as you have kids and things and, you know, you end up in somewhat of a career. You're working full time.
Maybe you move somewhere else. A lot of your old friends, even your, like, really close friends, you just simply may not, you know, have that same level of friendship that you did at one point and sometimes I'll tell you you know sometimes you gotta get rid of some friends either they're you know, just not great or they're they're just not great for you. You know, they they could be good people, but just not the right people for you. And you you gotta take a look at yourself and what you need and go, okay. This is what I what I gotta do with myself.
Alright. Gotta cut that person off. They're making me crazy. Oh, let's see. What else do we have here?
Oh, some careers don't start till you're in your thirties. From my experience, yes, that is true. I didn't get into doing radio till I was late twenties, and I was only a part timer till I was in my, thirties. So, my radio career did start in my thirties. So if you're in your twenties and you're panicking, oh, I don't know what I'm gonna do with life.
Oh, I haven't got it all figured out yet. Oh, I was supposed to be married and have a house. Yeah. Just settle down. K?
I didn't have a a house till I was in my thirties. I didn't have a stable job that, you know, I was excited about till I was in my thirties. And maybe, you know, I got lucky with finding a job I was excited about. I've talked about it many times, how lucky I am and how much I love my job. But it yeah.
There was a lot of luck there. But that also did not happen till my thirties, and it was a grind. You know, I worked as a part timer for, like, 5 years just learning everything I could, putting in the work, driving from Pocatello to Idaho Falls to do a few hours a week. It was a grind. You know?
But it but it was worth it. I honestly, as I was doing it, didn't think it would end up being a career. And who knows? Who knows? I could still end up doing something else.
I mean, I hope I get to keep doing this. I enjoy this. Hanging out with you people every day. It's great. But, you know, you never know how life's gonna end up.
Like I said, in my twenties. Never thought I'd be at this point in my early forties. Let's see. What else do we have here for hard pills to swallow? Oh, this one's this one's rough.
You're not gonna like this one. And it's true. This one's this one brutal. Your parents are getting older and won't be here forever. Oh, bam.
That that's tough to hear at 7:30 on a Monday morning, but it's true. Both my parents, no longer with us. Rip to my parents. They were awesome. I miss them all all the time every day.
Wish they were here, but, you know, you never know what life's gonna bring. So, yeah. That is a hard pill to swallow. Jeez. Well, okay.
Well, let's see if there's a more pleasant one here. I guess hard pills to swallow are not generally going to be, pleasant. Right? Sometimes peace is more important than being right. That is a very hard pill to swallow, but very, very true.
Now that can end up leading to a situation where somebody might walk all over you all the time because you're the one who tends to go, alright. I'm gonna do what needs to be done to, stop this fight. I'd rather not be fighting. So okay. I'll I'll do or say whatever it takes to end this argument.
I do think that even though sometimes that can lead to someone walking all over you, some the key word there is sometimes peace is more important than being right. Don't always let somebody put you in that kind of position, But trust me. I get it. Trust me. I get that one.
And I it's that that keyword in there is making it sometimes. When you always make peace more important than being right, you end up in a bad spot. So remember, sometimes. Very important to remember that as sometimes. Alright.
What else we got here? The hardest thing for me was realizing that some of my friends and family were objectively bad people who are never going to change and or grow up sadly. I mean, luckily, when it comes to my family, my family are all good people. I got very lucky in the, family lotto. But with friends, I've had some friends that even though I liked him yeah.
Some of them were kind of pieces of crap. Alright? Had to go. Alright? Had to go.
Some of them were more of a headache, and so I had to kinda really, you know, distance myself. But some of them, it's just like, you know what? Yeah. You're never gonna change. You gotta get.
You got you just gotta go. Alright? And there there's very few people that I had to go. No. You know, you tell them off and be like, we're done.
I am not going to talk to you anymore. But yeah. If somebody is a piece of garbage and treats you badly, get rid of them. K? Get rid of them.
Even if you've been friends for 10 years, don't take that kind of abuse. It's not worth it. Ben from the advocates, he was there. Haven't seen any any posts online about it, but, I would imagine it was pretty good. Falling in reverse tends to kill it.
And the rest of the lineup was great. So if you went, I would imagine you're sleeping right now and probably not like, yeah. I was there. I drove all the way home. I'm up and at him.
I would hope not, anyway. You young people, only ones who can get away with that kind of behavior. Speaking of you young people, let's take a look at a few more of these hard pills to swallow for people in their early twenties. See if I I mean, so far, I've agreed with, I think, all of these. So for once, the Internet bringing some solid information here.
And I'm not trying to ruin your day as someone in your early twenties. These are just things you should probably be aware of because, you know, they're gonna hit you at some point. You'd be like, Prepare yourself mentally. Alright? Let's see here.
This is likely the best your body will ever feel. Put in the work now and your body will thank you. Flexibility works, strength works, skin and teeth. Yeah. As someone who has just never been in the habit of getting good exercise and things like that, my least favorite class in school was PE.
I can tell you I wish I would have been much more vigilant in trying to develop some type of a regimen for exercise, also trying to eat better. Because as you get older, all of this stuff becomes much more tough. And, oh, jeez. Take care of your teeth. I mean, I always brushed my teeth and things like that.
Did my best to take care of them, but, you know, in my early twenties, I didn't have insurance, and, I tended to not go to the dentist till I had a major problem going on, till all of a sudden I was in excruciating pain. Don't live your life that way. K? Get in for them regular checkups. You know, in this day and age, I think there are some more options for, you know, dental cleanings and things like that.
Keep you know, dentists who will work with you on stuff. You know, get a payment plan going. Seriously, there's almost nothing worse than all of a sudden having horrific dental pain. Like, it's it's just crippling. It's horrible.
Take it from me. K? Yeah. Deal with these things early. Let's see.
You'll either either cultivate habits, willpower, study, exercise, and routines for success, or you will slowly watch yourself fade. Hoo. Yeah. I mean, you can turn that around later on. It's tough, though.
It's tough taking it again from somebody who I was more in my thirties when I started getting my act together. A lot easier if you just kind of get into these habits when you're young. Okay? Let's see. Your comfort zone quickly becomes a prison if you overindulge in it.
You need to push your boundaries and only fall back on your comfort zone when you absolutely need it. Staying in your comfort zone will breed anxiety when you leave it. You have to put yourself in uncomfortable situations to build up a resilience to them for the future. I I do think that's pretty true. That's pretty true.
And, you know, pushing yourself into these things where, like, oh, I don't know if I could do it. I think it's a lot easier to do that when you're young than when you're older. And then, yeah, it makes throwing random things at you like, okay. No no big deal. I got this.
Yeah. I can't think of any specific examples. They always tend to whittle down to, like, things I do at work. Like, oh, getting in front of a crowd of people and talking. Yeah.
I used you might be surprised by this, but I used to be a lot more shy when I was young, working a customer service job where I was dealing with the public every single day and, had to talk to and interact with people. I think that was really good for me. And it it's funny because even still to this day, I would definitely be more comfortable chatting to a giant arena full of people than a a small room. So but I I don't mind talking to a small room like I used to. It used to be like, oh, jeez.
Oh, jeez. Okay. Here's one. Regardless of what you might see on the news, the world is not ending. You need to plan for retirement.
This is one I pushed on my kids. Like, if you were to start a retirement plan when you were 18, nobody told me this when I was younger. I didn't learn about retirement plans and all that stuff or even think about it till I was well into my thirties. If you start a retirement plan when you're 18, you're do you know how good you're gonna be sitting when you hit 60? You're gonna be sitting awesome.
Sitting awesome. So I know it's tough because right now, housing and this and that's expensive. But even putting a little bit aside into a retirement plan, you know, talk with the you know, find yourself some type of a a finance guy, you know, or or gal. And do whatever you can to start planning that out when you're young. Most people don't think about that when they're teenager or early twenties.
Holy cow. You know? Throw a few bucks into some safe stocks or whatever. You know, just a little bit each month. Everything adds up.
You will seriously thank yourself by the time you hit 30 and you look back. By the time you hit 40 and you've got tons of money, I didn't start really working on retirement stuff till a few years ago. That sucks. I could be sitting great right now, but nobody told me. So, seriously, take my advice on that.
And holy cow, I better get ready for some freak news. We'll be back. Freak news powered by Greasemonkey, voted Idaho's best oil change. Alright. Finally, something good in the news about Australia, but you're gonna have to move there.
You're gonna have to get a job. Australian employees now have the right to ignore work, emails, and calls after hours. Depending on your job, that could be a wonderful thing. Now I myself, I could do that, but it would lead to bad situations. Alright?
There are sometimes things that pop up where I gotta deal with some work stuff after hours. Alright? Happened yesterday. Not gonna get into the details, but, I got a phone call and was like, oh, jeez. Let me call somebody on that and blah blah blah blah blah.
Next thing I know, you know, I I got the issue fixed. So if you really can't stand anything work related when you are not at work, I guess you need to move to Australia. And also don't get into the radio biz, the entertainment biz, period. Because that is the type of job where you may have to deal with some work stuff outside of work hours. I've had to come over to the studio before.
Uh-oh. Station's off air. We've got a problem with blah blah blah. Hey, let me pop over and fix it. You know, it's just part of what we do because it's important to me to bring you the station that you wanna hear.
You know? Absolutely. Okay. Looks like the UK has finally caught up to the US and whining about self checkout. Yeah.
This article is extremely whiny. This person, I was at an upmarket grocery store in London when I was trying to swipe some discounted soggy strawberries at self-service checkout and I was running late for a meeting. The bar code refused to register 6 times in a row and the only assistant I could see was halfway across the store, yakking to a friend and ignoring my waving hand. So I stole the strawberry. Yeah.
They admitted to shoplifting in the article. Yeah. They felt a moment of self righteous store rage, and they The Utter the, pretty common sentiment when it comes to people that complain about self checkout. I felt that if the store didn't give a monkey's butt about customer service, then I couldn't be bothered with honesty. Yeah.
No. You're a shoplifter. Alright? You could've been dealing with an actual cashier who had the same problem. The bar code wouldn't scan, or maybe their computer broke.
I've been to the store before when something unexpected happens and holds me up. Alright? You got a meeting you're supposed to be to? Don't go grocery shopping right before your meeting. Alright?
If you are concerned that you're gonna have issues at the self checkout, don't go grocery shopping before your meeting. K? I'm not proud of this moment, but I'm also enraged by a shopping process that's become ever more impersonal and robotic. Go to the line with the cashier then or shut up. Alright?
Oh. A poll found that 26% had accidentally not paid for an item while shopping. And that they put quotations around, like, 26% of people are shoplifting because of self checkout. You know what? Don't be a dirtbag.
You're gonna ruin self checkout for everybody else. There are people who like self checkout. I am one of them. I don't like waiting in the long line. I don't, like waiting behind the person who wants to chat up the cashier.
Alright? They're sitting there chatting with the cashier at Winco when they should be bagging their groceries. Their cart's blocking my way so I can't get over there and start bagging my groceries. I like the self checkout. If I have a reasonable number of items, I'm always gonna go to self checkout.
You know, Walmart switching to mostly self checkout. I think it's great. It's amazing. Yeah. Not everybody feels that way.
But you naysayers who complain and steal things from the store because you have no patience, you're gonna ruin it for everybody else. So stop it. The are the author of this article, Rowan Pelling. You're being a piece of dookie, Rowan. Alright?
You can't just steal from the store because you don't like self checkout. Stop your whining. Get in the line with the cashier. Peaches, I could see out there creeping. What what is going on?
Just come in here. Oh, it's Bill. I could only see an arm. I thought it was peaches. Okay.
Freak news powered by grease monkey. Voted Idaho's best oil change. We'll be back. I don't know if you're aware, but during the pet adoption process, you may be asked some questions. The owner of the little puppies or kittens may want to get to know you, may have certain criteria that, you know, they require when it comes to the process and finding an odor for their little babies.
Sorry. I'm still laughing that I just yelled at the GM a couple minutes ago thinking he was peaches in the hallway. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Bill. I I swear I thought it was peaches.
Peter, just get in here. Nothing like hollering at your boss. Jeez. Anyway, this woman this woman went to adopt a dog, and I guess the owner of the dog, of the puppies decided because she had a bunch of other dogs with her, you know, you're not gonna be a good fit for this little puppy. So the woman got a little bit upset.
She's a Florida woman, and typical Florida woman response, busts out a pistol and holds her at gunpoint, tells her to get on the ground. She's in jail now as you would expect. It's not a reasonable response to, hey. Sorry. You can't adopt this puppy.
And I get it. If there's a little little baby that you really want, it's gonna break your heart a bit, but sounds like she already had plenty anyway. Joined by Peaches. Hi, Peaches. I I think people were expecting this for here for you to say joined by Luke Brutus and everyone get would get excited, but, no, it's just me.
If you all take a look at Lou's photos online, Lou left a few hours ago from the other side of the country. It's an all day deal traveling from the other side of the country to here. Yeah. Lou will not be on my show today. Lou might be on one of our shows maybe tomorrow.
I would imagine probably not today in case anyone's wondering. So don't be coming over to the studio. Stay away from us. Leave us alone. We embrace our listeners.
That's what you tell me all the time. We do. But, we don't need a crowd showing up. You can if you wanna meet Lou, what you gotta do is you come to the show tomorrow. Oh, yeah.
Alright? Yeah. I I saw him talking more so about those limited edition guitar picks. Yeah. He's not gonna have those at the studio.
He's gonna have them at the show. Yeah. So if you want a limited edition Darla Tar, glow in the dark guitar pick, you gotta come see Lou at the show tomorrow. And Lou's great. He'll be out wandering around with us, taking selfies, saying hello to people.
He's he's very friendly. Lou's the man. Well, this week's about to get crazier. Why? Because last night, I decided to make a decision.
And I think today is the big day we decide to go through with it. What is that? You're gonna shave your head? Yeah. Is that the razor?
That's the razor. Peach is gonna do you know how busy things are around here, Peaches? And now you wanna add shaving your head on top of it? Alright. When are we gonna do that?
Well, I thought today we're gonna do it during, like, the noon hour or something like that, but, you know, we might not be able to. I might just have to do it by myself in my place and surprise everybody tomorrow. Yeah. And it it's good practice to do it by yourself. You know?
Because then you can finish you know, like, you could start the line of where you want the beard to go. Mhmm. You know? Because the beard goes up to a certain point by your ears. And what if somebody else you know, like, what if I was shaving your head and I went too low?
And then you're like, I wanted the beard to go higher than that. You know what you could do is you shave everything except the line from the beard so you have this strip that goes up over the top of your head. Sure. So it looks like you've strapped your beard on like a mass. I think that'd be pretty rock and roll, Peaches.
Oh, wow. Well, good. Good. I I was going to shave my head, yesterday, but I got so sick of the other shaving that I did. As you see, I trimmed up the beard.
No good. I shaved, you know, the sides of my face and stuff. And then I was like, oh, I'm tired of shaved. And so I didn't shave my head. Maybe I'll have to shave my head later tonight.
Well, I don't know. I don't know if we'll have time for it. Today is just super crazy. Super crazy and busy, so I don't know. I'll I'll give myself a haircut eventually.
But, hey, sounds like peaches may have shorter hair than me for at least a brief period of time. So keep an eye on our socials. Maybe later this afternoon, we can do that or something. Or I might look like the white check is what I'm, thinking. You know?
You think so? Yeah. Does he have a big beard? He has the beard and such, but it's, yeah, it's just completely off on the top there. You know, the thing I would recommend if you're gonna shave your head yourself though is you need a mirror so you can at the back.
So you can look at the back. Or you're gonna end up with a big patchy area. Yeah. You know? It's happened to me before even with a mirror.
I've seen some football players have, like, that design on the back, like, they're completely bald on the top, but then they have some little, like, patch of hair on the very the the center of the back of their head. Maybe you should, yeah, grow a rat tail. Oh, yeah. You know, I was watching, the I've been watching Star Wars. Okay.
And, Mace Windu? The the first three of no. No. Don't go for the Mace Windu look. You gotta go for that, that's completely bald.
Yeah. He's completely bald. You go for that episode 1 Obi Kenobi. Obi Kenobi. Obi one Kenobi.
Obi Kenobi sounds better. It does. Or, episode 2, Anakin with the stupid, like, spike hair where with a little tiny ponytail in the back that's, like, 2 inches long. That was peak 2000 5. That was It was the dumbest haircut I've ever seen.
That was peak early 2000s right there. Oh. That guy was considered good looking. He was considered one of the best looking dudes in in Hollywood at the time. Now who?
The guy who played Anakin. Hey, what's what's his name? Hayden Christensen? Yeah. He is not a good actor.
I gotta, you know, watching those early Star Wars episodes and I don't think that the girl who played, played his lady in it was a good actress either. Wait. We added one of his inspirational, messages to our, segment. It did. It's like sand is coarse and rough.
I like it here. It's not like sand or something like that. It's a terrible line. Oh, man. Yeah.
I I like those movies. They're better than I remembered them because when, like, episode 1 came out, everybody hated it because of, Jar Jar Binks. Well, now look. Now we got even more Star Wars movies. I think the newer ones might be better than those ones.
Are we supposed to believe, you know, old Harrison Ford He's running around. He's 80 years old. Come on. Didn't he just play Indiana Jones again? Yeah.
Are we supposed to believe he's kicking people's butts at 80 years old? Hey man, there's some old guys out there that are tearing it up. Name one who's like actually gonna kick my butt, an 80 year old man who could just full on destroy. What about like Ric Flair? Oh, please.
No. You don't think so. One wrong chop and that guy's dead. What are you talking about? You don't think he could give you a 5 finger death punch?
Woo. The Victor Wilt Show with Peaches. We were talking off the air, and the song had to end. So now we had to hop hop on the air. That's that's how it works.
That's That's how it works. We're trying to have a conversation and day to remember should write a longer song. That was only 2 and a half minutes long. Yeah. Here's your feedback at day to remember.
Make a longer and better song the next time. Make it longer. Come on. If I can write 27 minutes song, these bands could write a 5 minute. Come on.
Of course. That would be double the length. Put the 2 in 1. Just start the song over. I'm not I'm not necessarily a fan of long songs for no reason at all.
Now, if you're gonna make a long song, you've gotta keep it interesting the whole time. Yeah. You know, and I think listening back to my 27 minute song, there are some parts that maybe I could have tightened up the very beginning of the song, make it a little bit shorter. Just a little bit. Feel like periphery and all of a sudden add a jazz, solo in there or something.
But for the most part, I I think even if I tightened it up, it would still be 26 minutes long. Okay. And I it might be like chopping out like a minute. That is, For the most part, I mean, it has tons and tons of riffs. It's just riff mayhem and changes and blah, bang, bang.
That's like a, what's it called? Like a TV sitcom episode? Yeah. Yeah. Sitcom length.
Yeah. No commercials though. It's like watching a sitcom on, a service that you pay extra for no commercials. Sure. Yeah.
But you can listen to my songs for free. That's right. Plugging myself. Let me pat myself on the back. Okay.
Peach, as you said, you had some kind of content. Oh, yes. Something completely different from what we're talking about right now. But do you wanna stay on topic or do we wanna move into this conversation? I don't know.
Or we can save it for the new now. I I don't know. I mean, the topic was long songs. There's no long songs that you like? There's a couple, maybe.
Forgotten Kings for Mental Cruelty. That's like 6 minutes and when you're listening to brutal deathcore for that long, you're like, okay. This feels like 30 minutes. So like I said, you gotta keep it interesting. Like, I think one of the most legendary really long songs is Sleep.
Oh, it's terrible. Dang. And and it's not interesting. Alright. I like it because I like that kind of music, but it it's it's a lot of droning.
Yeah, my friend. And Liam. It's a lot of droning. I have a friend named Liam from back in back in high school and such. And he you know on Instagram they have this, like, thing where it's like, what's the, worst concert you've been to?
Loudest concert you've been to? 1st concert you've been to? And it's all in one sheet. You fill it out. You put it on your story.
And he I didn't realize what his music taste was, kinda similar to yours. Where's the loudest concert I've been to? Sun O. That's the yeah. See, and it's funny because that band, they named themselves after, like, the most crushing amps that you can buy and whoops.
I accidentally turned my mic off. The amp I have is what is known as a Sun 300 t, But Fender bought it out and rebranded it, so it's a Fender bass man. But it's it's a Sun 300t, and those are the types of amps that Sun uses live. I can guarantee if you have nothing but Sun amps on stage, it's going to rip your face off if you turn them up because that bass amp that I have at my house, it makes my brain hurt when I play it. I love it.
It's the best kind of brain pain. Yeah. I forgot what he said to me because I messaged him about, like, oh, you're into Sun and, oh, Primus as well. He also had that on that list. And he said, oh, you only listen to Sun until you ironically like it and can force feed the discomfort on others.
You're like here's sleep. See, I think my long song is better than this 1 hour song because they you know, here's what a, long song really comes down to. If it's, like, more than 10 minutes, I think it's basically multiple songs that flow together well. Well, look at Dream Theater. Don't don't they have, like, a 30 minute long song?
Yeah. But But if you listen to the songs, they're ultimately, like, you maybe you come back to some familiar elements toward the end, but like my 27 minute song is basically probably 3 songs that are long. Pain Remains 1, 2, and 3? Yeah. That all kind of fit together well.
Like, The Pain Remains 1 song, but you could break it down into parts. And that's I think on the original release of that long song I made, I did break it into sections on the track listing, you know. And I think I don't know if it's still in the system here. I might have deleted it, but I had, like, the mentalist part 3, which was what I sent to 4 locals only, you know, before I worked here. Plus there that part didn't have as much naughty language.
It doesn't have the Doug Stanhope sample, which is vile. But look, I could use sleep as a, music bed. It works just fine. So are there no vocals with this? There's vocals at parts but a lot of it's just a crushing you know, they're probably playing a sun amp or something like that.
It sounds like it. Yeah. This live would probably be a whole lot different. It'd be it'd be like Primus. It'd be great.
It'd be great. I mean, like Stoner Rock and Doom Metal bands, you've gotta see them live to truly appreciate them. Like, the band Yob, I don't like listening to their recordings that much. Live, they are amazing. So good.
The band Earth, I do like listening to them, because it there's no vocals and it's very, droney stuff. It's good for music, music clock making and things like that when I'm doing tedious computer work. But, oh no. Okay. We are live on air.
We're multitasking here. I think I'm accidentally recording this break for the noon hour as well, peaches. You are. I'm looking at the meter here. We're all this might be a a replay of the Victor Wilt Show later.
I don't even know what's going on. I hate when I get frazzled on a Monday with too much work to do. You handle it well. You've been doing it for so long now. Yeah.
Like, I mean, it's not a problem if I'm actually the thing that I was worried was, oh, geez. We're voice tracking, but we're not on air and we've just been sitting here with dead air for, like, 10 minutes. No listeners called in saying anything about it, so I'm assuming we're okay. Yeah. I think we're alright.
But anyway, check out some long songs. I mean, the longest song in our system is one of my favorite songs of all time. Devin Townsend's Singularity. Yeah. I just heard Power Nerd over the weekend too.
Power Nerd's pretty good. It wasn't what I expected. It's, it sounds like there's some vocals. Typical doom metal vocals. Yeah.
Wanda, Wanda. It's either that or they sound like Ozzy. Do you have to, like, train your voice to do, like, this, you know Do what I said. Yeah. No.
No. You're you're doing it, peaches. You could be a doom metal vocal. It's like hacksaw Jim Duggan. That's right.
Oh, yeah. Alright. Everybody Trevor Phillips. I, beat the story, of course, not that long ago, and I completed all the side missions. All I've been doing is just playing GTA 5.
Yeah. Are you doing online or are you trying to 100% it? Well, I did do some, online, play, on Saturday. It was, fun to do one of the one of the heist missions and get myself, like, $20,000 online. Everything's super expensive.
Yeah. It's it's outrageous. I played blackjack at the casino. I was doing max bets the entire time, and I I have a feeling that game's rigged. Because every time you, have a streak of winning, all of a sudden you, like, lose all your chips again, you know?
Sounds like real gambling. Right. Yeah. The house always has the edge. Sounds like it is legit.
Yeah. Legit casino action. Yeah. I don't know. I would even back in the day, I've never been able to get into GTA online.
And back in the day, it ran really crappy. Like, you know the loading screen where you're looking at the map from above? Right. Like, it would just sit there. For 5 minutes or more.
For 5 minutes forever and then it would, like, glitch out. You get kicked back out. It was so frustrating back in the day. The series x and the PlayStation 5 can run it real well. Yeah.
It's it works great because I've popped into it, a couple times. But I don't know. I just never really got into the GTA Online. I I love story mode. Story mode's loads of fun.
Right now, where am I at in the game? What did I do? Well, actually, I was just gonna go up and do the hunting mission. That was, With Trevor and Cletus? With Trevor and Cletus.
Yeah. That's an annoying one. Yeah. I kinda put it off for a while, but I happened to be near Trevor's helicopter. I was like, okay.
I guess I could fly over there and deal with that. Right. Because I didn't wanna drive all the way around the map because it takes so long. Yeah. For some reason, I could not sleep at all last night.
So I was watching a bunch of different YouTube videos. No. I came across one that's, talking about the hardest mission in every single Grand Theft Auto game ever. Ah. And I forgot about the one in San Andreas where you have to fly this remote controlled plane and shoot these vans.
I remember that one. And Suck. Not have the fuel deplete and Yeah. Yeah. There's usually 1 or 2 missions in the games that are just annoying and aggravating.
Did somebody say yoga for GTA 5? Sailings are not hard. It's just annoying. For some reason, people hate that mission. Really?
Yeah. There's also the one where you work on the dock and you just move containers. Yeah. That's that's pointless. I didn't like that one.
I did that one recently. I that mission's stupid and annoying. I I don't like the tow truck missions either. With Franklin? Yeah.
I don't like That's not bad. That that for some reason, I don't like them. They just annoy me, like Well, the conversations they have in the car is annoying. They just keep going back and forth. See, that's the only thing that makes it a little better is at least there's some entertainment.
But drive, pick it up, tow the car, and then you think you're done with the tow truck missions. And then later on, all of a sudden, I'm doing a tow truck mission again because you're you're trying to help out that guy Barry, you know? You gotta go get the cars that Barry's stashed around the city Yeah. That have stuff in them. And then you gotta tow those to his, towing the one in his apartment, so annoying.
So I I hate when the game tells you to lose the cops and you have a 4 star wanted level. A 4 star's a little bit tougher. The 2 or 3, still kind of iffy. But 4 is when it's like, okay. I'm gonna have to hide in, like, a train tunnel.
Yeah. You gotta, like, drive up the side of a mountain. Yeah. You know? Yeah.
Yeah. Because the cops can do that. Mow down the helicopters, you know, blast them out of the sky. It's a lot of fun, that game. It it is still as good as I remember it.
Most old games don't stand up after 10 years. Yeah. You're like, man. Oh, yeah. That game, definitely still an amazing game.
Yep. Red Dead part 1 does not stand up. Oh, there's no remaster. There's no nothing. It's just the full game.
Remastered version that they put out recently, but I haven't played it. I haven't played it. I'm cheap. And it was, you know, the you know how Rockstar is when they or anybody, like I was gonna say all video game companies are just remastering the old titles and then They sell them like full price. Yeah.
Like, what are you doing? This is this is an old game remastered. It's like Hollywood. All they wanna do is just remaster the old titles and make you pay money for this remastered crap. I already have it.
I mean, like, when I talked about GTA 5 last week, this is the 4th copy of that game I bought. Right. Like retail. 4th game. I almost didn't buy it because it just says GTA online and then I realized it includes the story with it.
Oh, okay. But it's $19 for the whole bundle so I'm like, okay. Yeah. That's what I got. What's this, like, Rockstar Plus that I see now?
It says Bully's now included with Rockstar Plus. I really think it's, like, Rockstar's version of PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass, and you can play, like, all the Rockstar games. But, yeah, I already have the games. I gotta beat Bully. Bully's very easy.
Bully's one of the best games of all time. It's a great game. Great game for sure. They they need to make a sequel. So, people, I recommend you do some gaming to give me more work.
Yes. I am because I'm gonna be gone for most of this week. So guess who gets to pick up a Slack? Jade. But I don't have You and Josh.
That's who? I don't have any any room left for slack. Yes. You do. You got plenty.
The the the basket is full. The bowl is overflowing. I need a nap, buddy. I need a nap, time. There's no nap for you.
I know. I know. It's funny how, punishments as a child turn into luxuries as an adult. Yeah. Like, you go to your room and lay down.
No. No. Not that. Every day when I get here, man, I'm doing this. You need a nap.
You're cranking. You're right. I am. I'm cranky if I need a nap. I got a pretty good amount of sleep over the weekend, though.
I I just crashed hard. I I was old man style. Like, Saturday or Friday night, I think I was in bed by 10. Little bit later Saturday night, but, yeah, it was good. When I was out doing yard work, like, ugh.
I'm so old. That old man yard work too. Yeah. It it was a nice, morning Saturday morning for yard work. It was nice and cool.
Mhmm. I didn't get everything done I needed to, but, I got I got a good amount to where I felt a little bit better about myself a little bit. There's just not enough time in the day to do everything that needs to be done. We need a 36 hour day. However, if we had a 36 hour day, then we probably have to work for 24 of it.
Probably. Instead of just, you know. What what we really need is that 4 day work week, and you promised me you're advocating for that with all the upper level management. Right? You know that's not gonna fly.
Why? I thought this was America. But it's America. Henry Ford's dead. He came up with that.
Work a lot. You know, all that stuff from back in the day that seemed like a good idea then, we all we look at all of it now, and we're like, that's silly, except that 40 hour work week. That's that's gotta go. They didn't multitask back then like we do now. Alright?
They call it wearing mini hats. Those fools were wearing one hat. One hat fools back then. Sure. 40 hour work week with 1 hat, that ain't bad.
Well, look at pictures of the same age of people back then that we are now. They're a lot more hacker. Their work was tougher. I don't know, Jay. Oh, yeah.
Look at what I've gotta deal with. You get to sit in an air conditioned room with a ergonomic chair. This is not an ergonomic chair. How dare you? Listen to music.
I do get to sit in an air conditioned room and listen to music, but especially after Peach is using this chair, this is not ergonomic. You made it ergonomic for him. Just molded it to him. I mean, I've had worse chairs at work, but Have you ever thought about that? The pictures of people the same age that we are now.
Oh, yeah. They look real They look real ragged. Really old looking. And, I mean, life in general was rougher back then. And, like, if you got sick, it just pummeled you and took away years.
What you need is an Aornail. I just watched a million ways of dying the west. I've been watching I started last night before bed watching some new documentary like Wyatt Earp and the Cowboys or something on Netflix. I saw that. How was it?
It it was pretty decent so far. It's, like, pseudo documentary. It's got actors in it telling the story. Got actors in it. Yeah.
You know? He watched a show that had actors in it. Well, a documentary, sometimes it might not have any actors. It might be all the real people, you know, or or or else Well, they're gonna bring Wyatt Earp back from the dead? Well, they might have just photos and be like, here he was.
Look at it's him and Doc Holliday. Derp a t. And, you know, you have some, you know, old fogey museum guy who's like, yeah. This is what happened back then. You know, life was rough in the west.
I mean, it it was pretty decent, I guess. Alright. I don't know. Narrated by Ed Harris who played the, man in black in west world. So that was appropriate, you know, having another cowboy sort of guy doing his thing.
Alright. It it was good. I I like westerns. You know? Especially when they have actors in them.
They don't always have actors. Do you not put it in. You don't know what a documentary is. Bonehead comment of the day. You don't understand what a documentary is.
How dare you? There's not always actors in documentaries. Man, mine is going by quick, which ain't bad. Ain't bad. But there's this whole, you gotta get a lot of stuff done kind of thing that ties into that, and I'm like, oh, I don't have enough time.
This would be kinda weird. Postcard arrived at a Welsh address 121 years after it was sent, had an, or a, not n, had a mysterious message attached. Oh, yeah. How mysterious was it? I'm guessing it's not very mysterious.
K. And how do they know it was sent 121 years ago? K. I mean, people are pretty good at faking things. Alright.
This could be a forgery. Just because somebody wrote the date 1903 on it doesn't mean it was actually sent in 1903. Come on now. I mean, it looks sorta old, but you could find an old postcard laying around and then just put whatever day you want on it. Alright.
What was the weird message? Alright. The top corner says, remember me to miss Gilbert plus John with love to all from Unreadable. Then it says, dear l, I could not it was impossible to get the pair of these. I am so sorry.
I hope you are enjoying yourself at home. I have got now about 10 shillings pocket money now, not counting the train fare, so I'm doing alright. Is that it? What's so weird about that? I don't have much money.
That's it. That's it. That what is so weird about that? We don't understand what the person was trying to say, so it's weird. Anyway, I ain't buying it.
I think this was just an excuse for the news to talk about something. I'm calling shenanigans on this one. I could always be wrong. But, I mean, you know, there is certainly a chance that the post office found something like behind a shelf like, oh, jeez. Somebody sent this out a really long time ago.
Let's go ahead and deliver it. You know, just scam seems more likely to me. But I can be a little bit of a naysayer sometimes. So, you know, you know. Thank you again for tuning into the Victor will show this program's a production of river.
