The Viktor Wilt Show

Alright. I gotta apologize in advance for this break, but this is gonna be major bummer news for you. Korean Air announcing that they're no longer going to give away free cup of noodles on every flight. I know. I know.

I'm sorry. I know this is a tragedy, but I had to get this important breaking news out there. No more free cups of noodles, which Korean air flyers have just always enjoyed. It's terrible. Terrible.

Yeah. They blame it on not financial reasons because I mean, go on. Well, you know, times are getting tough. We can't afford to give you free ramen. Now they're blaming it on, turbulence and narrow aisles on the plains.

You know how they're making planes more and more uncomfortable as time goes on? You're more packed in. There's less room. Peaches knows what I'm talking about. He just flew, and I saw his picture.

They put him in the, window seat, and, I mean, it looked horribly uncomfortable. I should never complain again about flying and discomfort because I can't imagine being peaches. Yeah. They should always give him the emergency row, but, anyway, yeah. Aisle's becoming more narrow, so they're worried that there's an increased risk of burn incidents.

You know, people just sending the noodles flying and burning somebody, but people online are very upset about this. They're like, well, I can get tea and coffee on an airplane. Well, last time I got coffee on an airplane, it's not what I would describe as hot. I mean, I was able to slam it down. Alright.

It it was lukewarm. It was not cup of noodles hot. Yeah. So, anyway, sorry again for ruining your morning. I know there's nothing more to look forward to when heading out on a flight than it's good old fashioned cup of noodles, but I guess you'll have to, pack your own.

I don't know if they're banned on the flight or if they're just not going to give them out to the average, or to everybody on the plane. I don't know. Anyway, there's that. I was looking at this sweet deal that I'm pretty sure everyone is going to wanna take advantage of on a new TV. TCL's 115 inch QDminiLED TV that comes with a ticket to the Super Bowl.

Yeah. You know this isn't gonna be a very good deal. 20 grand. Jeez. I mean, I know you can get a pretty big TV, like, 85 inch for much less than that.

Like, what? Maybe well, I don't I don't know, actually. 1500? 2 grand tops? Maybe actually, you could probably get one even cheaper.

It's not gonna be, you know, OLED or miniLED, but it'll still be big. Now a 115 inches is bigger than 85 inches. Yes. I know. I'm genius.

But still, 20 grand. Even if it comes with one ticket to the Super Bowl, and that's what it comes with, 1. So you can't even bring a friend with, and you have to figure out how to get yourself there, Travel and hotel and all that. I don't know. They are offering some other things, like you can go see a concert at Cell Fi Stadium in LA, or you can go to a movie premiere at the TCL Chinese theater.

I don't know. 20 g's even with the bonuses. I guess if you're just made of money and you don't have friends. You're like, I I need to get out of town. I need to do something.

I wanna go, you know, for a behind the scenes tour with the Call of Duty team. I'm willing to spend $20 on this giant TV that I can then, after I return home, sit by myself and just watch and watch. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know.

I think this is a small market of potential customers willing to drop 20 GS, on the 115 inch TV. But what do I know? You know? If you gotta have the biggest TV around, you could buy a projector. But you know what's what's the fun in that, right?

Doesn't come with a ticket to the Super Bowl. Happy Monday. Hope it's going alright so far. For me, Moon's a decent. Still early.

We shall see as things trudge along. Hopefully, it's over with quick. Mondays, you know, just wanna get back home, kicking back, relaxing. The little kitten. Yep.

Cat talk time. She did not allow me the best rest this weekend, so she got fixed on Friday. And, you know, she's gotta wear this cone. Alright? Got the cone around the neck.

Simple. Right? No. Not simple. She knows how to get that thing off.

I I was very grateful to wake up this morning, and she had not gotten it off again. But over the weekend, both Saturday Sunday morning, I wake up in the middle of the night, and I just kinda feel around like, where's the cat? And she's there, but no cone. So then I get in a panic like, oh, jeez. She's probably, you know, been, trying to clean the incision.

She's gonna rip herself open or something. I'm gonna have to go to the emergency vet. Thankfully, that was not the case. I think she's fine. And it did look like she, you know, must have tried to clean the incision a little bit, but didn't look like anything's messed up, I I think.

But I'm nervous sitting here at work. Like, is she ripping the cone off right now? Am I gonna have to rush home? I got a camera set up in the house, so I can see her walking around, and I'll be able to see if she's got cone or no cone. But, yeah, she, like, Saturday morning when I woke up in the middle of of the night, she got in this vicious battle with me.

I didn't know this sweet little thing had this kind of a fight in her, but she did not want the cone back on And it took me forever. I I was starting to get concerned that I wasn't gonna be able to get it back on her because she was just not having it. Finally get it back on. And then, you know, of course, the next day, same thing. So I'm pretty sure at some point, I'm gonna get the, camera notification and see her walking around.

No cone. Well, I got it on a little bit easier the second time. Maybe she's getting used to it, and I'll be able to just alright. Come on. There you go.

It's back on. Boom. But yeah. I still woke up in the middle of the night last night. I you know, I've got this anxiety about it.

And so, yeah, sleep, not wonderful the last couple days. I did go back to bed yesterday morning. Got some decent extra rest, but can't do that this morning. No. That alarm starts going off at 445.

It's like, oh, no. Oh, well. So that was my weekend pretty much trying to keep an eye on the kitten watching some x files and attempting to get decent sleep. Yeah. It was okay.

Alright. Hang on. We'll be back with music and more content and things like that. But wish me luck. Alright.

Send some good behaving kitten vibes my way because I I could use a little bit less anxiety with this cat. Yeah. Last week, she gets stuck at the top of a tree. Oh, it should just driving me nuts. Well, since we were just listening to Puddle of Mud, might as well talk about Puddle of Mud.

You know if Wes Scantlin is in the news, well, something dumb has happened. Wes Scantlin, front man of Puddle of Mud, has been arrested a number of times and many of them for ridiculous reasons. Alright. Let's get into the current one, which happened last Wednesday. All right.

He got pulled over due to a traffic violation, and cops found he had an active warrant for a previous case related to possession of a weapon at an airport. From my 2 seconds of research, I believe that would have been when he tried to bring a BB gun onto an airplane and was subsequently arrested for that. So he he's told to get out of the car, and he's like, no. So then they end up with a standoff situation, had to call in a crisis negotiator. That didn't work.

So they tried shooting pepper spray into his vehicle. That didn't work. So they called the SWAT team in and broke the car window and shot what they're calling non lethal pepper balls, which I'm not familiar with. But he then apparently surrendered and exited his vehicle. They took him to the hospital to have his eyes flushed.

He did not sustain any other injuries, but, he's now been released and is due to appear in court later this month. Yeah. Again, you know, if Wes Scantlin's in the news, it's gonna be ridiculous. I mean, he was arrested after riding the, baggage claim conveyor belt at the airport. One time he, you know ended up back in the restricted area the guy's a maniac but you know what He was nice to my sister one time, so I always give Wes Scantlin a little bit of a pass on beating him up too bad with his outlandish behavior.

And my sister was at, the rainbow bar in LA. She was, visiting LA for a a work trip, and then she asked me, you know, what's something to do? I was like, I don't know. Go to the Rainbow Bar and order a Lemmy. The rainbow bar, Lemmy from Motorhead's daily hangout spot.

So she goes to the rainbow, and at some point, she texts me and, like, do you know any rock stars named Wes? And I could only think of 2, Wes Borland from Limp Biscuit, Wes Scantlin, puddle of mud. I was like, well, here's the 2 I can think of. Google them up. Turns out it was West Scantlin.

He was there with a bunch of people, and my sister's just hanging out by herself. So they all invite her over. Hey. Come hang out with us. And, you know, they weren't weird or anything.

Just totally nice, totally fun. She had a great time. And I thought that was pretty cool that as a, you know, dude in a you know, they're they're a well known rock band. You know, just to, you know, bring somebody, some random person hanging out by themselves and to have a little bit of fun hanging out with your crew at a legendary rock bar. I thought that was pretty nice of him.

So I hope he can get some help. I'm it sure sounds like, he's still dealing with some issues if this is how his behavior is going. But yeah. Stay to I'm sure it's not gonna be the last time we have Wes Scantlin, SWAT team, blah blah blah. Who knows what else popping up in a news story?

Yeah. It happens about, you know, every 2 to 3 years. So I'll see you again on that one in 2026, 2027. Alright. I got the worst idea for you.

I was looking at a list of the most polarizing foods. What if you threw a party and just served nothing but all of this stuff? It's a great way to keep people from coming back. Alright? And I would agree.

I mean, looking through this list, a good chunk of it, I'm like, nope. Not for me. Anchovies. I don't know. Just I'm fine with fish but something about anchovies that, you know, that's the, most polarizing food in America according to this list, anchovies.

And kinda surprisingly, right behind it, black licorice. Like, I'm sorry, but number 4, beets? Way worse than black licorice. Alright? 33% of people hate beets, and I am one of them.

I'm guessing that 33% of people think that beets taste like dirt because that's what they taste like to me. Dirt. No other descriptor that works but dirt. Now oysters at number 3, I will admit I have not ever had, like, fresh oysters on the shell. It no.

I just I got no desire to do that. A lot of people say it's really good, but can't do it. Can't do it. But also, I find it surprising that blue cheese is hated as much as those terrible beets because blue cheese is delicious. Like, it's way good.

I don't know what's going on here. I think is it peaches? Who doesn't like blue cheese? Anyway, let's go to the phones here. K Bear, you are live on the show.

Keep that in mind. Who's this? Morning, Victor. Hey. What's up, Jeff?

How's it going? Pretty good. Are you calling me with a, song request? Yeah. Five fingers, dumb punch.

This is the way. Alright. I'll get that going for you soon. Alright? Alright.

Thank you, Victor. Thanks, Jeff. See you, man. See you. Alright.

Gonna have to do some 5 finger death on sharing a few. So, anyway, if you wanna ruin your party, just get the spread going on. Anchovies, black licorice, oysters, beets, blue cheese. What else is on here? Okra, capers, brussels sprouts.

See brussels sprouts are really good. I I guess I'm not I'm not too against most of the stuff on this list. It's mainly that, anchovies, oysters, and beets. Just sounds like a terrible party if that's that's what you're whipping up for refreshments anyway just trying to kill your appetite you know it's it's Monday morning. No.

I hope you can find something good to eat. I think I killed my own appetite looking at all the horrifically, you know, hated foods here. Mario Duplantier from Gojira. I guess he got kicked off well, or suspended from Twitter for mocking comments that were making the rounds about Kojira being evil. Okay.

Come on now. I mean, it's the guy in the band. Oh, well. Oh, well. What else is going on around here?

I saw a question posed on Reddit as well as I just scroll. Endless social media here, Facebook and Reddit today. Someone was asking, would you work 80 to 90 hours a week for $350,000 a year? I would hope the answer's gonna be no. That is no time to even spend that money that you're earning.

It it wouldn't be worth it. Would not be worth it. You gotta have a little bit of downtime. 80 to 90 hours a week. The comments are funny because people are like, well, how about, you know, 40 hours a week?

And you just, chop that in half. Give me a 175 grand a year for 40 hours a week. Wouldn't that be wonderful? Oh, be amazing. That would be worth it.

How about, you know, you whittle it down even even further here. 20 hours a week for like 80 grand or whatever. Sure. Sold. The end.

Is there any I'm sure there are people who would work 80 to 90 hours a week for $350 a year. Maybe you do. I I don't I there are some people out there who just work and work. I don't got it in me. I need to have a little bit of downtime or I just get crazy.

Yeah. I mean, I could use some downtime right now. 7:25 AM. Yeah. Little more downtime.

Little bit of bot. The weekend was not long enough going on up in here. So, anyway, I just wanna remind you money's not everything. Alright. You need some for sure.

You gotta have some. But I would think if it if it ate up 80 to 90 hours of your week, man, I just can't imagine it being worth it. Alright. You know how I feel about polls. Right?

You you can't really believe them a lot of the time. You know, you don't know exactly what type of sample you're dealing with, if you had people just goofing when they gave their answers. Because I just saw the result of a a survey that said 1 in 4 Americans has shoplifted in the past year. 1 in 4. So you at work right now?

Yeah. Look around the office. 1 in every 4 people, a shoplifter. I I don't buy it. Can you imagine you're you're with one of your friends?

Maybe this has happened, I guess. You're with one of your friends. You're a grown person. You're my age. You're in your forties, and you got a friend shoplifting stuff because they think it's fun.

Yeah. A lot of people said they do it because of the thrill. Now some people said they have done it because they couldn't afford certain items and needed to do so to make ends meet, which is, you know, unfortunate. Things have gotten to be very expensive, but I like the rush of shoplifting. That doesn't sound like a very good excuse to me.

And I still don't buy that 1 in 4. I mean, I'm sure what? 1 in 10? 1 in 4 is a lot of shoplifters. I don't know.

Maybe somebody who works in management in retail could let us know how many items are getting stolen. Yeah. On a daily basis. You know, you do your inventory. How much stuff is gone?

Maybe shoplifting is I mean, 1 in 4 means that shoplifting is running rampant. So again, I don't buy it. Imagine you get a phone call. Hey. Could you take this brief survey?

Sure. Alright. Do you shoplift? Sure. I mean, I'm sure a lot of people would just give a goof answer.

Why do you do it? Because it's fun. I like the rush. See, I think you gotta eliminate those people from the survey and the people who said they do it to make ends meet. Those might be the ones that you go.

Okay. That sounds like somebody who's being honest with their answers. Somebody just go, I like it. It's fun. Gives me a rush.

I don't know. They could be telling the truth, but I'm thinking they just goofing. That's what I'm thinking. Alright. Stick around.

We'll do some freak news in a minute. Aight? Aight. Freak news powered Alright. I'm not even not even gonna get into more shark attacks.

Alright. People should know. They should know. Don't go in the natural waters. There was a story out of Florida.

I'm I'm not gonna dive deep into this, but somebody gets attacked by a shark. People running out to help this person. Next thing you know, those people get attacked by a different shark. Just stay out of the water. Stay out of the water, people.

The animals are fed up. They've had it with all of us. You go in the ocean, there's a good chance you're gonna get attacked by a shark, and it would suck. It would be terrible to get attacked by a shark. It would not be cute.

Anyway, let's see here. Ring bearer owl causes a flap by disappearing for 7 hours during wedding. Well, yeah. Don't have an owl be your ring bearer. What?

I mean, I know some people can sort of train birds, come here, but, you know, if you want your wedding to go off without a hitch, you can't rely on an owl. Any type of bird to fly down and deliver the wedding bands to the couple. Yeah. It took off. It flew.

Flew who knows who knows where for about 7 hours? Why did they hold up the wedding for 7 hours that that's when you go wow the owl has the rings we'll figure it out later I hope they weren't expensive. Rings can get to be very expensive. Jewelry in general. So again, why risk it?

You know, the financial the potential financial loss alone, not to mention the whole ceremony being screwed up. You can't rely on birds. Alright? I'm sorry, but I've got no sympathy for for this couple. That's what you get for this Harry Potter wedding.

Alright. Think about things beforehand. Alright. We've got a scientist defending his audacious plan to block sunlight and cool the earth. Alright.

You know, if you've ever read about nuclear winter and if there was a bunch of, ash in the sky blocking out the sun it would cool things down a little bit I don't know what his goal to do is to pump. What is it here? Sulfur dioxide Into the atmosphere. Try to cool things down a little bit because, right now, we're dealing with the hottest summer ever. And, we got problems out there.

Lots of weird weather situations popping up. Alright. Just block out the sun. I don't know. The future of, the future of humanity.

Probably not great to even think about on a Monday morning. Let's move along here. Earlier, we talked about the supposed fact that 1 in 4 people admit to shoplifting in the last year, which I still think is ludicrous. I don't buy it, but maybe so. We've got an LA burglar leaving apology notes.

Yeah. There've been, 10 businesses burgled and vandalized. I didn't know that burgled is a word, but I like it. Burgled and vandalized over the last few nights, and cops think it's one perp because they just leave an apology note. Sorry.

Won't come back. But, you know, if you're gonna smash things up and leave broken glass everywhere, you know, There's more than just the money you're taking. Alright? Damage also has a cost. Alright?

So if you're vandalizing at the same time, ain't really buying your apology. Sorry. I really need the money. Bro. Come on.

You smashed like 5 windows. You only needed to break 1. But I said I was sorry. It doesn't matter. Oh, we finally got an article pointing out how selfie deaths are a public health issue.

We've been talking about deathies for a long time, many, many years. In case you were wondering, according to a 2022 study, there were 379 selfie related deaths worldwide between 20082021, more than 4 times the number of people who died by shark bites in the same period. There you go. Your phone is more dangerous than walking into that, you know, open water, the natural waters which I warn you about regularly. No.

Standing somewhere where you might lose your footing and holding your phone. Much more dangerous. I wonder if that links up with this map I found. Somebody made a map online called over the edge death in Grand Canyon. And I don't know how I got linked to this.

It's, you know, in the 10,000,000,000 tabs I opened up. And it's got all these marker points on this map and, like, well, here, you know, at this spot, 2 deaths occurred in this area and zoom in for further details. Alright. I'm zooming. I don't see further details.

How Oh, do I gotta zoom way in? Oh, yeah. Wow. You could just sit here and pour over this map and read about everybody who's died in the Grand Canyon. I recommend just picking up the book, Death in Grand Canyon.

You know, it's it's easier than navigating this map but maybe, you know, you're planning on heading there, heading to the Grand Canyon and you wanna, you know, know for sure which spots you're at. That'd be a pretty dark trip. Would it not? Hey, guys. We're gonna go where that one guy fell 300 feet to his death.

It was right here, right where we're standing right over the edge right here. Alright. Well, anyway, just that's out there. That's out there. The map, the online map.

Right now, probably a terrible time to visit the Grand Canyon as well. It's super hot in the bottom of the Grand Canyon. You might be unaware of that. Yeah. Like hanging out in Phoenix or something.

Not a good time to go hiking. Anyway, freak news powered by Greasemonkey voted Idaho's best oil change. And, I don't know, I've I've got plenty other dumb freaky news coming up. So, yeah. Stick around for for more, more dumb.

Would you believe that even 1000 of years ago, people would call in sick to work and with sometimes ridiculous excuses? Now maybe at the time, they weren't as ridiculous. Some of these I know you wouldn't be able to pull off now. Bosses would be like, what what are you talking about? Get to work.

You're gonna be fired. Yeah. I recommend if you're gonna call in, just go with a nice vague, I don't feel good. Alright? Keep it simple for everybody.

K? So ancient Egyptian excuses for missing work. There was a 32100 year old tablet showing attendance and work absences. Some of the reasons that people called in sick or called in for work were, you know, stung by a scorpion in the eye. Oh, that sounds pretty horrible.

And you had to take it to the next level by yeah. It was right in the eye. You know a regular scorpion sting would be like get get to work. No. This was in my eye, right in the eye.

Then you had kind of typical responses. You know? My mother's ill. I was embalming my deceased relatives. You know, just normal stuff.

Brewing beer. You might think what what kind of an excuse is that to not go to work? Apparently, back then, alcohol killed the bacteria in water. So, it was considered kind of important to brew beer at home and therefore considered a good reason to miss work. Sorry.

So busy brewing this beer. I can't make it. Oh, that's fine. That's fine. I don't know.

It's just weird when you think to or think back to civilizations from 3000 years ago. The fact that, you know, even though technology was very different, they're still noting who showed up to work, who didn't. Here's why they didn't show up. Bosses were still keeping a file on you. Even back then.

Still taking notes. Alright. Well, some things never change, I guess. Big news over the weekend that Aerosmith have permanently retired from touring. Saw a lot of people bummed out about this over the weekend.

I guess, Steven Tyler fractured his larynx and, suffered vocal cord damage. Now they were hoping that he would eventually recover from this and be able to sing again, but a full recovery apparently isn't possible, and thus the band is retiring from touring permanently. So that's that's pretty crazy. I never got to see Aerosmith live. I would definitely have liked to do so, but I guess that ain't, happening now.

So, crank up the recorded tunes. And, hopefully, aside from this injury, you know, he's he's doing alright. Pretty crazy. Why is all the other news it's showing me here not rock related? I don't care about that crap.

I mean, we all we already talked about Wes Scantlin and the SWAT team again. Poor Wes Scantlin. Hope that guy can get some help. You know? Clearly has problems.

And, I guess we were overdue for another Wes Scantlin arrested news news report. Also got a video floating around out there of James Hetfield, taking down some helium out of a balloon and singing to myself a happy birthday. Alright. Yeah. Yeah.

I didn't watch the video, but if he didn't throw in a yeah, yeah, it was a big fail. I I didn't even realize they'd shut down their active rocker there and turned it into I don't remember what it was, but apparently, it didn't work out. So they flipped it back, and now it's the beast. Yeah. What what do they play on the beast?

I don't know. Smooth, easy going, soft tracks? It's, you know, probably your pretty average, active rock station. Oh, so it is active rock. Mhmm.

Yeah. But you said they got rid of it. Well, they did for a while. Now it's back as the beast. Before it was, you know, blah blah blah, The Rock or something, you know.

Let's let's check out their playlist at some point. Yeah. I don't I don't know if they've been back long enough that we could see it. No. I'm really curious as to if if you guys call yourselves the beast, you gotta be playing something some stuff that's nice and heavy.

Well, you know, knowing the guy who programs it, I think it's likely you might have some slipknot and things like that. Okay. Okay. Good. You know, it's probably a little bit heavier than most rock stations.

Well, we can't get too heavy. We can't go too crazy. Yeah. Slaznod is woah. That's like as wild as it That's that's overnight.

And hopefully he's not doing it in overnight. So let's see the beast rock radio. See what we could find here. W o z z. Woz.

Woz. And let's see if they're alright here or if we're gonna have to dig into whatever previous format they were on. Yeah. They don't they don't have them on here. So I don't know if we'd be able to see their, playlist peaches.

Can you go to, like, their website? Let's see. Their website may show a recently played. Okay. Here's the beast playlist.

Okay. Access their favorite song. Okay. So this is the recently played. Okay, Peaches.

You ready for this? Let me guess. Dodge free Pieces. I haven't seen that yet, but Okay. I'm I'm glad.

Well, I'm not I'm not going against dodger here. I'm just saying if you guys call yourselves the beast, you can't be playing that wussy stuff. What I'll tell you is it appears they play one new song an hour in the morning. Okay. So, yeah.

Aside from that They're probably playing, like, the octane core type stuff? I mean, you've got from Ashes to New, Barely Breathing. They also played the we didn't play this song. It was Billy Morrison and Ozzy Oh, crack cocaine. Yeah.

I I just it I don't know. It didn't scream to me, like, massive hit, and it just says crack cocaine over and over. So I was like, no. No sense. Yeah.

It's a dumb song. It I think it went to number 1 maybe on the rock radio charts, but it did you know, that's how rock radio works. So here's what the beast has going on. They're beastly mornings. Are you ready for this, Peaches?

Yeah. Yeah. K. And this is just going backward, the most recently played song. Soundgarden, the day I tried to live.

Of course. Scorpions, no one like you. Nickelback, how you remind me. Harvey Danger, flagpole sitter. So they're pretty much just plain butt rock and, nostalgia.

It it's pretty tame. The Billy Morrison crack cocaine, Sublime, Wrong Way, Lenny Kravitz, American Woman, Avenged Sevenfold, Hail to the King. That's when they're wild and people are getting crazy there. I was gonna say. Yeah.

ACDC, Shoot the Thrill. Mhmm. Led Zeppelin. It's weird to me that you would go ACDC and Led Zeppelin back to back. I don't know.

Those are just good nostalgic nostalgic groups right there. Everlast, what it's like. How is this active rock? Well, because they play one new song an hour, Peaches. One new song.

So about 3 minutes out of 60 minutes, then they'll play you a brand new song and it's not even actually like a a good song either. Well, they've got yeah. During the 8 o'clock hour, they played from Ashes to Noob barely breathing. Oh, they did play Daughtry pieces during the 8 o'clock hour. So 2 2 new songs, per hour.

Let's see. They got sleep theory fallout during the 7 o'clock hour. I think that's the only new song. I bet they have some cheesy imaging too. They have some stuff that's like, we're the beast.

Yeah. They're they're they're going wild. Yeah. Yeah. This is, I mean, they played YouTube mysterious ways to kick off the 6 o'clock hour.

Wow. The Beast. That's pretty funny. It still baffles me every time I hear a vertigo from U2. 2 okay.

It goes 12314. Alright. The the station is not programmed right is what I can tell you. Something's wrong. Active Rock Radio not programmed correctly?

Who what? Who's not? I like the guy who runs the station, but you should never have Nickelback go into Stained. Like, you don't do Nickelback and Stained back to back. This whole playlist is pretty much just butt rock and nostalgia.

BNN. Okay. So you got ZZ Top. Give me all your lovin'. Alice in Chains rooster.

Even stained into Alice in Chains shouldn't happen. It went Nickelback Stained Alice in Chains. That's just too much stuff that sounds kinda similar. You got, smashing pumpkins, tonight, tonight, rush, Tom Sawyer, skillet, monster, pearl jam, Jeremy. Oh, there's some Nothing More if It Doesn't Hurt.

That's the one new song for the, 5 o'clock hour. They don't even get crazy in the middle of the night, Peach. I'm now convinced that Pearl Jam and Nirvana, they're not really as liked as they are. People, radio stations just play them, play the crap out of them. If you want to talk about the Mount Rush more of the most overplayed bands on radio, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden.

Those 4 right there. Those bands are all They're all overplayed and Beloved Peaches. Any rock station out there, I I I sometimes will go from rock station to rock station listening to what their DJ sound like and all that and every single time, In Bloom from Nirvana plays. That's a popular song, Peaches. I mean, most stations like I I guess you were out last week when I was breaking down Denver's k b p I.

Yeah. He told me about that in the car. Yeah. They have, like, 300 songs in their whole playlist. You know, I looked at songs we played in the last week, and it was, like, 800 some, you know, 870.

But, Victor, we play the same songs every 5 minutes. Yeah. We we don't, everybody. We don't. I mean, they're they were pounding, 21 pilots, heathens, about every 6 hours.

So I'm shocked the beast doesn't do that. And then The beast. That might be too new for them. That might be too new. I gotta say crazy.

I'm pretty disappointed. You you can't call your station the beast. And then And not play like Lorna Shore and At least in the middle of the night, like, it, I mean, I don't see any Slipknot. I thought for sure we'd see at least Slipknot, but, Do DJs get bored sitting in the studio hearing these same songs over and over? They've gotta.

Gotta. They've gotta. I mean, we hear these songs over and over and over again and, you know, have to remind ourselves we listen in a different way than most people. We listen, like, all day. But imagine if you'd every time you went to work, you know, it was just kind of the same thing every single day.

Right. Nickelback into scorpions. How You Remind Me Into No One Like You. I'm fit great. By these songs.

Great back to back. This does not seem appealing to me at all. It's like, okay. Same old. No one like you.

It it's just the same old stuff. I I hear you, peaches. That's why I mean, we play most of these songs, but we sprinkle it goes new, old, new, old, new, old, you know, all day long. You know, no difference in the afternoon than in the morning. But they can't get, like, crazy with it.

Like, I found this death metal jazz band over, when I was gone. Mhmm. Perfect for Jankshow. Yeah. I'm adding them right away.

Maybe these guys will have a weekend metal show. I don't know. I'm I'm not sure. We can get jank show, syndicated. Let's see.

Past playlist. What what day was Saturday? Let's see if they do metal Saturday nights. The 3rd? The 3rd.

Yeah. K. Let's and again, the people I I know one of the guys who works at the Beast. He's a great guy. Tell him to step it up.

Well, you know what, Rock. You might as well change the name of your station to the wimp. It's not very beastly. Alright. I I will say that.

Alright. Oh, we gotta go to maybe Sunday at midnight because that's technically, you know, midnight Saturday, Sunday at 12 AM. Because 11:58 PM, you've got the Soundgarden, Birden in My Hands. 3 days, grapes, not too late. Sublime Santeria, Skid Row 18 and Life.

Sublime Santeria. Sublime Santeria. Sublime, they're low too. That's that's I think that's part of the reason why I hate Sublime is because they're overplayed as well. I mean, you can imagine Well, they're on every rock format.

They're on classic hits. Exactly. They're on, classic rock. They milk the system. They're on alternative.

They're on active rock. And you can think about, like, all the LA radio stations. What do they what do they predominantly play? I'm sure they play tons of Sublime. Exactly.

So and chili okay. Now, I'm figuring it out. If it's chili peppers and Sublime, I bet California just pounds those bands to death because 3 11. Oh, and 311. Yeah.

Because every chili pepper song, California. Yeah. I love California. Even though they're from Michigan. Makes no sense.

All right. Well, I'm going to check one more day here on the beast playlist. Cause I'm maybe they just haven't got around to setting up the metal show. How, new is this station? Well, it's I I wanna say it came back on air last week.

So no. They they're not doing any any metal as far as I can tell here. I swear if you say Soundgarden during the midnight hour. Hold on. Soundgarden Sunday on the beast.

Soundgarden Sunday. Oh, jeez. You gotta go all the way backward. Alright. I'm not I'm not gonna go looks awful too.

It's it's not great. But, you know, give them some time. Maybe this is just the first first iteration. Well, we've given radio stations plenty of time. They just their website stink.

Most radio stations' websites absolutely suck. That's true. It's true. Alright. I guess I need to bring people back down to reality once again.

You have to do this every few months or so. There was an article posted on the Idaho Statesman about the small Idaho Panhandle town, Ponderay, seeing a 51% increase in population in the last, year. So, yeah, the the fastest growing city in I I guess you could call it a city. It's a town in Idaho during the last year. Peaches, Who do you thinks to blame for all these people moving in?

That's right. It's your people. It's you and your pea item. It's your fault for me being here. Yeah.

I know. Now there's no evidence that it's a bunch of Californians moving into these, small towns. But a lot of small towns appear to be growing. Like, have you ever been to Paul, Idaho? No.

It's next Paul, Idaho. From a stupid name. It's next to Burley and Rupert. Oh, gross. Okay.

And it's it's not great. Alright? I think what you got going on here is you have a bunch of people wanting to get away from it all. And they they move to these small towns because they wanna turn them blue, peaches. That's what I you know?

You know, they do a little bit of looking around online, and they're like, what do I know about Ponderay in Northern Idaho? Alright. It's about as red as it gets. Northern Idaho, known for extremists. You know what?

I'm gonna go there and we're gonna wake that place up. I've heard there's a whole website called turn this state blue dot com and it shows you how the percentage of how close we are to turning that state blue. Really? I'm just making that up. Yeah.

I I have to remind everybody. There is not an influx of liberals moving to Idaho. K? The people who are moving here are moving here because Idaho is one of the most conservative places in the country. And the people who are moving here are, like, extreme, you know, extremely to one side.

Right. And it's not the left. Yeah. Yeah. Alright.

It's not that side. I do find it funny, like, I posted me going to the beach, the Huntington Beach. I posted that photo on my Facebook. There was one person that was, like, oh, why don't you just go back? And it said, love you on K Burr, by the way.

Love you on camera. Why don't you stay back there while you're there? Yeah. Don't you be snide. Just look.

Why don't you wanna go back? It's like, well, I have a job out here. Yeah. Totally. That's the only reason.

Like, there's there's good and bad things about everywhere. Mhmm. You know? Like LA, lots to do. There's a lot to do, but there's also a lot of people and a lot of traffic and it's very expensive.

You know? Too too much for me to deal with. Didn't I send you an article about these new, Santa Ana Apartments they were building and it was like 64100 a month or something like that? Weren't they like studios or something? I mean they were they were nothing, great.

Yes. $65100 a month. Newest luxury apartments at Rafferty Top. I don't I don't even know what that is but, yeah. It's in Santa Ana, California.

It's a nice area but, at the same time, who has money for that per month? You gotta make triple that, right? That's like the generic rule. You gotta make triple the amount of rent. That's what they say.

For months. Most people nowadays I think are spending about half their money. So $19,650 A month. A month times 12. That's about 250,000 per year.

Well, who isn't making that, peaches? We're all rolling in the dough. Everybody making 6 figures and double 6 figures. 200 1,000 a year, that's everybody. Right?

That's crazy to make about $20,000 a month. Could you imagine? Months. 20 grand a month? Wow.

Yeah. That'd be great. You know, I I went to that place called Airwan in Los Angeles. It's nowhere backwards. Oh, that's fancy grocery store.

Yeah. And I bought this rose water and beet juice liquid in a bottle. That sounds horrible. And the smell of it was definitely roses. But my friend Christian, he bought a berry smoothie and I tell you, like every product in this store, raw and organic, a 100% cage free, whatever.

His smoothie was $20. $20? And mine was $5 and I kept the glass bottle. It's now on display in my kitchen. This is Erewhon real big on it.

Erewhon. Erewhon. Rose and beet You would be surprised on how many, how many people were in there just casually shopping. And I'm not talking about like ritzy looking people like there's nobody that looks like Jeff Bezos walking in there. It was people that looked like, Katie Lee and I from z one zero three.

Well, yeah. People think that they've gotta chop at the high class places and burn money. This girl bought a pack of chicken breasts, like, this big. Like, there's 2 of them in the container. $25.

What? That would be like $3 around here. They had, like, this raw organic sea moss and I don't know what that is. Big jar of it. $40.

Disgusting. They have prosciutto all decorated in a little UFO dish. 45. Get out of here. It's so stupid.

Wow. No WinCo down there, I take it. There's a WinCo in Lakewood, California, but not necessarily. We were in Beverly Hills on Rodeo Drive going around the ritzy spots. It was past the time when all the shops were closed so we walked by the Gucci store.

We took a photo outside holding the heroin bottles. Yeah. You sent me a photo at the, the Gucci store. The Dolce and Gabbana store. No.

That's it. The Dolce and Gabbana store. Yeah. I tried seeing if they had a refrigerator in there. No fridge.

No fridge in there. Just dumb purses. Yeah. Stuff like that. Rich people stores, they're so poorly set up.

It's, like, 5 products on a shelf and that's it. It's it's weird, man. It's weird. It's just a, statement really. Look how much money I have.

You're gonna get robbed. That that's how I feel. It's like if you're carrying around a Dolce and Gabbana bag, somebody's gonna target. It does seem like you're asking for it. Yeah.

You know? Are you allowed to pack firearms in LA like Idaho where you can just put it in your purse? You did a whole, like, license thing, and that's one of the many reasons why Californians are getting out of there. Well, it used to be that way. Here, you'd just go take a class.

Oh, but wait a minute. Now you don't even have to take a class. If Californians are wanting to leave because of the strict gun laws and come to Idaho, that makes them a liberal. Right? No.

That's the joke. Yeah. They wanted to have more free gun laws and actually carry a weapon. Because that's the way Idaho tricks people. They're like, yes.

We're super free. We're all about personal freedom. You can pack your gun anywhere. Now all the other personal freedoms, we're gonna go ahead and throw those in the garbage. Yeah.

Yeah. But if you Forget oh, you you know what I saw on sale? But you can have lots of guns. You know what I saw on sale on Amoeba? Amoeba Music, the record store?

Uh-huh. I saw The Catcher in the Rye and I'm like, wow. Woah. I don't have to be 18 or over to buy this book. Dude.

Woah. That's a naughty naughty. That's that's, just as bad as, stuff you'd pick up at the smut shop. I saw I saw Dune was on sale there too. I'm like, that might be a little too that might be restricted.

Dune probably could be. Yeah. I would I would think book too. It's like a 1,000 pages. Yeah.

I I wanna pick up a copy of it, but they're all kinda overpriced right now. It's $10. And that's not too bad. For the paperback? Yeah.

Yeah. I figure I haven't been reading anyway. Why buy a big thick sci fi book that I'm probably not gonna sit down and power through? It might motivate you. I'd like it on my shelf.

Yeah. I've got books all over the house peaches. That's not my favorite. Books in a book shelf, but am I reading them? No.

Of course not. I've got books stacked by my bed to be like, look at books. Read them. I got a Kindle right there. Makes you look educated.

Yeah. Look at me. I'm so smart. Look at all my books. Look at me.
