#0192 - A Double Dose Of Outrage - 05/02/2025

Hey. How's it going? It's Victor Wilt. Morning. You know, we haven't done any cue the outrage for a while.

Let's roll. Now might be a really good time for you to get angry. That's my secret, cat. I'm always angry. Matter of fact, I think we'll be doing more than one cue the outrage today because the outrage is running rampant.

And for the first time in like, I don't know, four or five months, we got outraged that isn't related to politics, which is fantastic. I mean, I don't like seeing people get mad. I wish people could just be happy, go about their day. Have a good time. Well, let's head over to Australia where the Sydney based C a D a radio station, which broadcasts across Western Sydney, and you can also stream online.

Well, they are, you know, face a major backlash here. After for six months, they had a new host on the air that was an AI host, and no one noticed, and they didn't tell anyone. Oh. Yeah. I guess listeners, when they found out they'd been listening to a fake person, out came the pitchforks.

You know, it just goes to show how bad radio is in general. If your listeners didn't notice for six months that the host was AI, Your hosts in general have not done a good job for a very, very, very long time. And sadly, that is kind of the case with radio. I've heard AI hosts that sound as real and just as good as radio hosts, even on, you know, like big market stations. Because at most radio stations, they don't really let the DJs talk, you know, quickly in between the songs.

Alright. That was, you know, a little bit of, sleep talking and coming up next. Here we go. Ghost. That's about it.

That's all you get. No yapping about, you know, anything fun. So you might as well have an AI host. If you're not gonna have a DJ that actually tries or is able to even attempt to try to do anything outside of the box, just get the AI host. And why people would get so upset about this, I don't know.

They didn't tell us. Well, there's no law that says you have to tell people, hey. That radio host is real. And, again, I'd take the AI host over a real one in a lot of situations. So, good luck to c a d a.

I wonder how many radio stations out there are using AI people, and nobody has any idea. I bet it's a lot more than you think. I bet it's way more than you think. I am actually an AI host. Yeah.

I just broke the news. I've I've been an AI host for eighteen years. I'm not real. Mhmm. Don't tell anybody who listens later in the show.

Gotta keep it secret. You know? That's why I complain about my wages. I'm making AI wages. Jade, you need to give me a raise.

Nobody noticed for eighteen years that I'm a robot. Alright. I'm gonna be back in a minute. K? Good morning.

Happy Friday. Thanks for hanging out with me today. I can't wait for this day to be done because it's Friday, and I don't have to do anything tomorrow. I mean, I should do some things, but am I gonna? Well, I don't know.

Too early to talk about tomorrow. It's gotta knock this day down. Alright. We'll be back. Well, as if Florida couldn't get any worse, not a good place to be a real estate agent.

Not only because of the increase in homeowner, insurance premiums, but because if you're a a female real estate agent, you gotta deal with Florida man. And there are a lot of creeps out there, but, you know, Florida man, it's a different level of creep. More than half a dozen women have come forward with accounts of this guy who calls him up wanting to check out a house and then does everything he can to get his hands on their feet. Hey. There's an ant on your foot.

That was one of the excuses he used before just reaching down and starting to try to take this woman's shoe off, starts rubbing her foot. She says, I thought that was really weird. Yeah. If somebody who you don't know is suddenly trying to take your shoes off and starts rubbing your feet, I would say that's a little bit weird. Then he busts his phone out looking like he's trying to take some video.

Run. Run. Alright. Holy cow. And apparently, they're having trouble finding the guy.

Didn't he call you? Didn't he, set up an appointment? Should be able to dig up the info pretty easily. But, yeah, if if you're a Florida real estate agent, I'd say if you're a man or a woman. I'd be packing a firearm.

That's what I'd be doing. Because, you know, once somebody gets away with one thing, sometimes these things ratchet up. Yeah. Start moving into darker areas. I've watched a lot of true crime documentaries and I'm not trying to judge anybody who's in defeat.

Okay? Like, some people are just into, you know, their their own thing, but you gotta keep your hands off of strangers. K? You need to have permission to, grab and caress somebody's feet. You can't just go ahead and do it.

Alright? It'll be a dirtbag. You gotta woo her a little bit and then she'll be all about you, you know, giving her a nice foot rub. K? And both of your dreams come true.

But again, gotta have permission. Can't just be, you know, unwantedly rubbing people's feet. ACDC for those about to rock. Heard a lot of great things about their recent tour. Peaches got to go check it out.

Bunch of people went down to Vegas and scoped the show. Wish I coulda gone. I've never seen ACDC live, and I don't know if I'm going to end up getting the chance to ever see him. This is probably gonna be the last run. Right?

I mean, you never know. Rolling stones are still at it, but, man, it's crazy. Some of these bands that are just so old, nothing wrong with that, but that they're still able to get out and do shows. I just hope I'm alive to, like, you know, 60. That'd be pretty good.

Anyway, alright. Let's talk about something positive. Not missing out on things. Let's talk about people doing good things. Shout out to East Idaho and Idaho in general for your contributions to Idaho Gives twenty twenty five.

Looks like they raised over $5,000,000 for Idaho nonprofits, which is just fantastic. I love that. Thank you so much for contributing. It's always great being able to take part in Idaho Gibbs and try to do some good things for our community and the state in general. Thank you to everybody who donated to the PocatelloFree Clinic.

Looks like they raised over $4,000. That's awesome. And, yeah. Don't forget, I mean, you can help out nonprofits all year long. This is a time of year that we draw a lot of attention to Idaho nonprofits, but they can always use your help.

And if you're ever looking for an Idaho nonprofit to help out, that Idaho gives websites up year round. So you can go, you know, scope the list of Idaho nonprofits that could use your help, and I hope you'll do so, you know, if you can afford to do so. So thank you again. How many times did I say so in that last few minutes? I don't know.

I'm feeling kind of frazzled today, which is not good. I have a lot to get done. No need to be frazzled. What's my problem this morning? I don't know.

I'm a weirdo. Alright. We did a little cue the outrage earlier. Let's do some more. Now might be a really good time for you to get angry.

That's my secret, cat. I'm always angry. Time for some video game rage. There's a lot of video game news making the rounds right now. Posted about this one yesterday on my Facebook profile.

Microsoft raising the prices on basically everything x, Xbox related. I almost said everything x rated. Well, the price of everything's going up. No. Apparently, due to market conditions, that's their excuse, raising the prices on Xbox consoles, controllers, headsets, and they are saying they're gonna raise the prices on some games, kicking them up to that $80 price point this holiday season.

Boo. Boo. And it's funny because this has turned into, of course, a political argument online. You've got, you you know, about half the people blaming Nintendo. I don't know if you heard about Nintendo's pricing situation, but they recently announced the release of the Nintendo switch two, which if I recall correct was gonna cost about $500, and kinda indicated there were gonna be some higher priced games as well.

I mean, we've been seeing this step toward $80 video games being normal for quite some time. And that's also another issue people fight about online. Video games have always been expensive. I posted a receipt from Mortal Kombat three that I found from back in the nineties where I believe it was an $80 game, and people started yelling at me about it, making excuses. I'm like, listen.

You're saying video games have never been $80. Here's a receipt from the nineties. Mortal Kombat three, $80 for Super Nintendo. And then it's like, ah, the manufacturing, those are cartridges. They cut alright.

Just whatever. Whatever. But you got again, half the people blaming Nintendo because Nintendo announced these higher prices for the switch two. And then the other half are blaming, you know, the tariffs for this situation. It's all so annoying.

Could could anything just get cheaper, please? You know, I cannot imagine right now raising a family. Alright? I'm I'm lucky. My kids are grown.

They're out on their own. I mean, I still have to help them with a lot, but I just have so much sympathy for anybody trying to get by right now raising a family because, I mean, groceries are so stupidly priced. And now you've got everything else going up. And, you know, you just wanna do something nice for your kids during the holiday season, and these things are just making it so difficult. If you wanna buy an Xbox, you better get on it, like, immediately.

I would assume retailers are like, oh, we can raise the price of our stock. Sure. We're on it. But you might be able to still find them at the older prices. It's just so crazy.

Just so crazy. And then in other video game related news, not seeing a lot of outrage about this, but, Grand Theft Auto six, they just announced it's been postponed. I don't think anybody's surprised by this, which is why I'm not seeing a lot of outrage. I mean, it is still early too. You know, you got people sleeping.

Maybe the, cranky folks haven't woke up yet, but, GTA six delayed until May of next year. Again, a bummer, but I'm not surprised by this at all. I know Red Dead two was delayed back when it was supposed to be released. I can't remember if GTA five was delayed, but I think ultimately this is just gonna be a good thing because Rockstar does not release games that they're not ready to release. And I'd rather get a polished ready to go game than something with a bunch of glitches and problems and, you know, you wanna be able to enjoy the game on day one.

And, yeah, once again, also, nobody is surprised to see GTA six delayed. They could at least give us a new trailer though or something, something to tide us over. That'd be cool. Anyway, there's your, things in the news relating to video games that people are furious about today. Sorry, Xbox gamers.

Maybe time to buy a PlayStation before Sony raises the prices of those because you know they're gonna follow suit. Anybody has an excuse to raise prices on things, they're gonna do so. Only there was a price for this radio show. Prices be going up because I need the money. Back in a minute.

Alright. Let's dive in. Freak news. This term being used just relentlessly for the activity basically cup you know, that consists of nothing more than sitting there doing nothing. It's just so bizarre.

Alright? To see the New York Post talking about the raw dogging phenomenon. Alright? But listen. You can't just hijack a term and start using it for something else.

Alright? I'm not gonna get into the the meaning that I know for that term. But, apparently, it's now gone underground with young subway riding professionals raising eyebrows over a bizarre new behavior where they stare at their fellow commuters instead of a book or their phone, an alleged form of rebellion against return to office policies. You know what? If you're mad that you have to go back to the office, sitting there staring at other people who are just trying to go about their day is not a good form of protest.

Just go sit in your boss's office and just stare at them. Alright? Leave people alone. You know, you're on the subway and somebody's just staring at you. It's gonna give you the creeps and make you uncomfortable.

Alright? If somebody's just staring at me in general I'm like, what? Do I do I have something on my face? Do I look like a complete disaster today? What what is it?

Why are you looking at me? You know, they maybe, enjoy looking at me, but I doubt it. They're looking at me because of a a problem that I can't fathom. Yeah. Don't stare at people.

K? Leave people alone. And if you don't wanna go back to the office, just get a different job. I know that's not just simple. You well, I guess I haven't seen companies complaining as much recently that they can't hire anybody, but, yeah.

You know, if if working from home is just a must, you're gonna have to figure it out. Some employers are gonna want you to come back to the office. It's just how it is. Okay. Another article about guys shaving off their eyelashes.

Why? Why, dudes, can you not just let your eyelashes be? We talked to, female listeners about this couple weeks ago. Girls like your eyelashes. K?

You're not gonna look more manly if you shave off your eyelashes. You're just gonna look weird because people are supposed to have eyelashes. Alright? If you don't have eyelashes, I can't think of very many situations where there would be a reasonable excuse or reason for that. Nope.

Oh, I but, you know, put my face over the campfire. All of a sudden, whoo. Dudes have gotten so weird with this. I need to be manly thing. It's it's not hard to just be a normal man.

Alright? Your masculinity, like I've talked about many times, is not under attack. I don't know how guys have gotten brainwashed into thinking that it's not okay to be manly anymore. K? And also that you have to do certain things like maybe shave off your eyelashes to be manly.

Alright? There's not a guidebook for being manly. I I think that, you know, you you probably need to talk to somebody if this whole I'm not manly enough thing is such an issue that you're looking at things like shaving off your eyelashes. They're there to protect your eyes. Okay.

Got some really self conscious dudes out there or something. Anyway, please don't shave off your eyelashes. You look like a freak. All right. And what's up with this?

Why can't somebody good like me win the Powerball? Alright? I guarantee if I won a $167,000,000 jackpot, I would not be arrested within a few days for, fighting the police. K? I would be kicked back, big smile on my face.

You know, you might go out on the town to celebrate, but you you gotta have a babysitter apparently. Some of you. Yeah. This guy in Kentucky, one hundred sixty seven million dollars and then, gets into a brawl with a bunch of police and now is sitting in jail. I mean, I guess he has the dough for a lawyer and, you know, bail and all that.

Well, if he's gotten his money, but dude, just settle down and enjoy yourself. I don't know. Maybe he was feeling like he wasn't very manly. Maybe somebody told him. I'm looking at a picture of him here.

Does he have eyelashes? Anyway, I think I'm gonna go buy a Powerball ticket. I I tend to buy them when I'm feeling lucky. I'm not feeling very lucky lately. So maybe now it's time.

If this, you know, tool can win a hundred 67,000,000, maybe the cosmos could kick me down a few bucks. That'd be great. I mean, I I'd be happy to win, like, $10. 10 bucks. Sure.

Well, this is a different type of road rage. I'm grateful, and I hope I don't jinx it here, but I'm grateful I've never dealt with extreme road rage. Now here's somebody who's probably unleashed a little bit of road rage. Peaches in the house. What up, Peaches?

Back in California for sure. Not around here. Well, yeah. So you've you've dealt with real problems on the roadway. You know, around here, it's getting worse, but it's it's not that bad yet.

Well, if I glare at somebody or do something even worse like, you know, give them the one finger salute, they could be a listener. And the next thing you know, I'm posted all over the place and Exactly. Yeah. We we can't get away with anything. California doesn't matter.

I can do whatever I want over there. Yeah. There's always some snitch out there to tattle on us Right. If we do anything wrong in public. So And knowing me, I'm, like, doing something wrong with the GM somehow or something like that.

Yeah. Exactly, PJ. You never know who you're gonna flip off. Right. I was reading about a woman in, Pennsylvania who got upset at another driver, so she, jumped out of her vehicle.

And, Oh, this story. Yeah. She, I tried finding a way to work around it yesterday. I'm trying to figure how to say it in a way that's not completely vile, but, you know, she basically, dropped a duke. She dropped she dropped troupe and And and There you go.

Just a dukied right on the hood of the the other vehicle. Is that a way to get around it? I I don't know. I guess we'll find out. Alright.

I mean Glad you're the, guy that's doing it before me. I I saw this story yesterday. TMZ posted the actual video of it. Yeah. I haven't watched the video because I I don't need to.

Alright? I'm actually on TMZ right now reading about it. She's got a lot of charges. Indecent exposure. Of course.

Yes. Yeah. That would be indecent. This would be great for your next advocate spot. Were you injured in an accident and some random lady decided to drop trowel on your car?

I know. I I don't know if they want that airing over and over and over again. You know, the image of somebody I mean, because it would be distracting to other drivers. Where was this again? This was in Pennsylvania.

Okay. I thought I thought for some reason it was in Memphis just like that other story about those five dudes twerking in the middle of the roadway. Yeah. They got a serious problem over there. Maybe I could use the twerking story for, for the advocates.

Right. Were you distracted by five guys in the highway just shaking their booty? There we go. Thank you, Peaches. I've already done my generic advocate spot, but I do need to make one that's a little more fun.

So dudes shaking their booty, that's funny. Alright. Alright. Thank you. Thank you for the assistance on that.

Of course. I got a lot to get done today. She is also facing charges of disorderly conduct creating a hazardous or physically offensive condition. I don't know if it's hazardous. Maybe to the senses.

Was it York, Pennsylvania? Are are you saying something about peppermint patties here, peaches? No. No. No.

I was saying I was I don't think there's much minty going on with this. I was hoping our friend Andy Matter would have seen this in person because it was there. Gotcha. And then my favorite phrase for a crime, criminal mischief. Just a little bit of mischief.

She was feeling mischievous. Property damage, harassment, and depositing waste on the highway. I thought she deposited it on the roof of the car, though. Did any get on the highway, peaches? Probably.

Did you did you watch the video? You ever seen a horse? Yeah. Yeah. Don't get me started.

Right. People who gotta ride their horse up that Palisades Creek Trail. I think just like having a dog, if you ride a horse, you should have to have a large garbage sack that is stretched, you know, attached to the side of it and pick up your horse, Dookie. I was gonna say you need, like, a garbage bag, multiple garbage bags. Yeah.

But, I mean, if you have to clean up every other kind of waste, why do horses you know, why did they get away with it? I don't get it. I like horses, but come on. Those people make me laugh. The ones that get really upset about, like, you know, dog duty on their lawn.

Hey. I'm not a fan of dog duty on my lawn because I don't have a dog. They have that stupid, sign that says, like, here lies the dog that last pooed in my yard or something yard? Sure. I I don't know.

I haven't had many problems with that recently. Back in the day, there were, you know, I had some neighbors that their dog would ever once in a while get out. And for some reason, my yard was just where it wanted to go. You know? So I'd find the big pile when I'm out mowing the lawn and I'm like, I don't have a dog.

What is this? That's when you celebrate, Naked Gardening Day like we're about to tomorrow. Everyone's about to tomorrow. Yeah. 80 degrees, man.

Perfect day for some naked gardening tomorrow. Garden gardening day, May third. Oh, right. That's how you freak everybody out and you make them stay away from your house. I mean, I'm doing my best.

I put a dragon on the front porch, but that seems to just draw people in. Yeah. You know, I had the people do the ding dong ditch a while back. Well, I think it was a certain certain flag that you you you like to fly on your front yard around your front yard. You'll drive the people of Idaho away.

Yeah. But not little kids. That seems to be who's coming to the door. The other day, I had a a little girl come to the door. It was weird.

I mean, anytime I hear my doorbell or somebody knocking, I get mad. Who's here? Right. They didn't tell me they were coming. Yeah.

Then that it's funny bringing that up. So yesterday, I was pulling pulling back to my place after here and I saw a football in that grass patch. I'm like, no. Please, not those kids again. Ah.

I want them far away. So I took the football inside. Peaches, you stole a kid's ball. Yeah. It was laying there on the grass.

I feel like they were just at dinner. They were gonna come back. I took the football, kept it in my place all night, and then once it was morning, I was on my way here. I just checked the back of the grass. Okay.

Well, I'm glad you threw it back out there. I did not wanna deal with, those kids knocking on my window again. Yeah. Yeah. You never know.

Yeah. This little girl was knocking at my door, and I'm like, okay. Are you selling cookies or something? And no. She was looking for a little girl who just moved to the neighborhood named Maddie.

And so she asked, is Maddie here? And I'm like, no. She moved out about a year ago, and she's like, no. She just moved to the neighborhood. I'm like, oh.

I'm like, no. There's no kids that live here, but it was just strange because it it was like, did I go through a time warp? And all of a sudden, it's ten years ago, and everything that just happened in the last decade wasn't real? No. It was just a coincidence.

Listeners, I have a daughter named Maddie. So, yeah, it was kind of strange. That's weird. Yeah. I I answered the door probably all cranky.

Who's here? You're like that guy from Monster House that owns the house? Yeah. When did I become old man? You know?

I I blame it on the modern technology, you know, and being a a loser who just stays at my house all the time. But I I get frazzled when somebody's at my door. I'm like, what what do you want? Yeah. I feel like that ring doorbell is detrimental to your health for a lot of people.

Well, it is nice because I can check. So I did check it before I answered and was you know, so I knew it was, like, children. So I was like, okay. It's not, you know, somebody usually, they're trying to sell me a home security system. I'm like, do you see the cameras?

I don't need it. Right. But thank you. Or they're, you know, wanting to talk to me about this or that. Right.

I'm like, I ain't got time for that right now. No. No. You're saying I'm trying to watch Drag Race. I was about to say, you're watching Drag Race, Yellowjackets, White Lotus.

I'm playing Red Dead. I don't have time to chat. Arthur Morgan's got things to do. Oh, don't give me Star Wars and Rockstar right now. Oh, who nobody nobody's surprised by that.

I like I said earlier when we talked about GTA being, delayed, I'm happy because I'd rather them not put out a version that's not top notch. You know, they delayed Red Dead by, like, a year back when it was gonna come out part two. You you know how many games come out and they're broken. Peach's prediction once again, be improved right. And then I I say this right now, come May when it's potentially released, that that first week or two, it's gonna crash for everybody because there's gonna be so many people trying to play that game that it's gonna crash the servers and then Rockstar will have to put out this whole apology that means nothing.

Well, who's gonna wanna play online right out of the game? Not online. Just I I feel like the whole game will just crash because the family will try to play it. They got yeah. But that's not generally how the one player campaign would work, you know.

I I'm not worried about that. Rockstar's got the best track rec track record for putting out solid product on release date. Nobody except I mean, maybe Nintendo does does that well with putting out a polished game. So I'm I'm not worried about that. You know, I might have been more worried about it if they didn't delay the game.

So, you know, but nobody was surprised. Like, I haven't even seen any outrage about it. Oh, there's tons. Is there? Oh, yeah.

Of course. Shouldn't be surprised. When I checked it, it was pretty early. You know? Angry gamers, you know, they're up late.

They haven't woke up yet to see the news. Oh, even, like, people on our page when I shared it to the KBR page were like, oh, surprise surprise and then, you know, go on bashing rock star and Yeah. I I wasn't surprised at all. I was like, oh, okay. Whatever.

Move on with my day. I got other things to be outraged about. Well, we got problems in this world, peaches. Sure. Yeah.

Yeah. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show. This program is a production of Riverbend Media Group. To contact the show or for more information, hit us up at riverbend media group dot com.
