The Viktor Wilt Show

So did the Internet just not update since yesterday? There's, like, nothing new in the news. And I looked around for something to talk about all day yesterday. It was a struggle. Like, usually after the weekend, piece of cake.

Apparently, yeah, there's just nothing happening aside from topics I don't care to get into. Alright? Ugh. Is everyone not just completely exhausted with all of the ridiculousness going on in politics and things like that. That's like the entire Internet.

I don't know. Maybe we need to go to eastidahonews.com and, see if we can find anything pleasant there. Oh, doesn't look like it. Oh, there's so many, like, just dirt bags out there. Beef prices soaring.

Nobody wants to hear about that. No? How dare they? No. Just want to enjoy a cheeseburger.

Well, anyway, thankfully, everything else is going down. Right? Prices are getting low. There's gotta be something pleasant here. How about we look at East Idaho Eats?

Alright. Let's talk about food. Mac Shaq's mac and cheese. Why was that so hard for me to say? Mac Shaq's, Mac and Cheese.

Anyway, this looks like a new place in Rexburg. Just moved into a permanent location in February, So they offer new twists on an iconic classic, mac and cheese. Alright. They've got, classic, you know, Thai chili mac, spice town mac, barbecue pork mac, buffalo chicken mac, and chicken bacon mac. Oh, you could also, mix and match and things like okay.

Oh, no. I've got a little bit of, heartburn going on. Need to take some Tums even though buffalo chicken mac looks delicious. Make yeah. It makes my chest hurt right now.

So, anyway and then there's a place called Macburger. Is it do we just got Mac everything going on around here? What is Macburger? Alright. This is a food truck that can be spotted at events all over East Idaho.

What are those? Oh, mac and cheese bites. I mean, if you're gonna call your place Mac, you gotta have Mac. Right? There's fries with mac and cheese on it.

Mac and cheese, apparently very popular in the area right now. I mean, it's because it's bomb. Who doesn't like mac and cheese? Okay. Well, anyway, if you wanna find out about new restaurants, new foods in our area, that's something pleasant online.

You just go to features, go to East Idaho Eats, and then you, like, look at all the food and go, alright. I'm hungry. I'm ready to mow down some mac. Alright. Well, I'm gonna keep trying, people.

Like I said, it doesn't seem like the Internet has updated at all since yesterday. I'm not seeing any new stories. This is why people end up in radio doing, like, birthdays and this day in history. Alright. I I don't I'll find something else for the next break.

I swear. I swear. Anyway, listen to our loyal sponsors. We've got some ads coming up here. These are companies that love KBAR, so you should, you know, pay attention, and you should support them because they support us.

I see right there, bets or tree service. Who do you think does the trees at my house? Yeah. And that was before they ran ads. They're just great.

You need tree work, bets or tree service. Anyway, listen to all these upcoming ads. K? These are these are good folks, and I'll be back in a minute. Alright.

Let's check out another one of these, am I a jerk, post because sometimes they're fun. And this one, I, as usual, didn't read through the whole thing. So, hopefully, it doesn't end up sucking. But am I a jerk for pouring my girlfriend's mom's soup through a colander so I can pick out vegetables I don't like? How old is this person?

That's my first question. K? Because if you're like, I don't know. I don't know what the age limit would be. But I think at a certain point, you know, unless it's some kind of weird, really disgusting food like sardraum or something like that, I think if it's just regular food, you just gotta force it down.

Sorry. I just all of a sudden had the hiccups. Come on. What? Not again.

Oh, this is ridiculous. Sorry. I'm trying to turn the mic off every time I hiccup. You gotta be kidding me. Okay.

I'm gonna put in another song because I wanna talk about this stupid picky eater. Oh my gosh. This is so embarrassing. Well, that's how you know I do it live. No other, prerecorded radio show would put this crap on the air.

Okay. Hold on. I'll be right back. Okay. Hopefully, we're back in action here.

What the heck? I mean, I've had sneezing fits on air, but I don't think I've had, just out of nowhere hiccup fit. So annoying. Alright. Let's talk about this picky eater.

So guy says my girlfriend's mom made us a seafood chowder for lunch while we were visiting. She made it before once, and it was really good, but she adds a few pieces of ginger to flavor it. And I really, really, really, they did say really three times, hate biting into ginger. I don't mind the flavor it in parts. I just hate the taste of actually eating a piece.

Last time, I accidentally bit into one since they were hard to see because the chowder was a creamy thick soup, and it almost ruined the whole meal. So this time before eating, I asked if she used ginger again. She told me she forgot I didn't like it and forgot to pick them out at the end. She seemed genuinely apologetic about it. Told her it was no problem, and I had an idea.

I saw a colander hanging on a rack on the kitchen counter, and I went to the kitchen, strained the soup into another bowl, which I asked if I could grab, and picked out the couple pieces of ginger and dumped the remaining strained pieces of potato and fish and shrimp and scallops and stuff back into the liquid. I even said sorry for the extra dishes and offered to help clean up afterwards. Her mom didn't react like it was a big deal. Anyway, on the ride home, my girlfriend was quiet and I asked her what was wrong. She told me I didn't have to be such a jerk and make a big show and dance about insulting her mom's food.

I was like, what? I like the food just for a couple of ingredients. Still didn't smooth things over, though. Am I a jerk for pouring out my girlfriend's mom's soup through a colander so I can pick out some vegetables I really don't like. I don't know if you're a jerk, but, man, I would be cringing hard if I saw somebody do that in person.

You know? And I got looking through the comments because I was like, how old is this person? You know? Supposedly 30 years old. Just eat the ginger or, like, pick it out while you're eating.

I I I don't know. Again, if it was weird food like sirlstromming, you know, fermented fish, liver, something disgusting. Alright. Time to be picky, but it's just a little bit of ginger, dude. Come on.

It's spicy. Just shut up and eat the food. Again, at a at a certain age, I think you should be able to sit down and force down most stuff. Like, I'm picky about certain things. Like, I don't like mushrooms.

I think they're nasty. I think they have a terrible texture. But if somebody, like, cooked up a meal, you know, you're sitting down for a meal with the with the family and there's a few mushrooms in it, I'll just force them down. Alright? It's not gonna be great, but I don't know.

Or you could, like, you know, scoot a few to the side. There's better ways to get around it than straining your food and picking out a couple pieces of ginger. Jeez. People in the comments are saying this person's a jerk. Again I don't think they're a jerk.

I just think it's weird. Like weird cringy behavior. It would be so awkward. Maybe if it was your own mom's food. You know sure.

But, like, your significant others, you know, mom, like, just sit down and eat the ginger, dude. Give me a break. Straining the food. That's one of those posts that I wonder if it's real, but it it's gotta be because who would come up with that as a fake story? I don't know.

The Internet can be a little bit creative at times. Alright. Yeah. You think you know some picky eaters? You ever seen anybody do that?

No. That's crazy person behavior as far as I'm concerned. Alright. We're rolling. Sorry to the person who I didn't pick up the phone a few minutes ago.

I had just barely said I was having a hiccuping fit and I wasn't gonna keep it going by trying to talk on the phone. I had to sit here and hold my breath for a few, clear things up so you can call me back now. The hiccups are gone. K? We're good to go.

I think. I just hope the rest of the show's decent. It is a very light news day. Well, you know, I love a good Ding Dong Ditch story. Why are there so many of these lately?

People getting crazy just from Ding Dong Ditch. This one was in Florida. This guy he's been charged with two counts of aggravated assault with the intent to commit a felony. You know, you got these kids. They come up and, ring his doorbell and run away.

They're riding on scooters. So he jumps in his car and tries to run them over. Jeez. So the kids managed to ride, run into a neighboring yard to avoid getting, you know, mowed down by this guy's vehicle. I just don't understand it.

Somebody ding dong ditched me. I I don't know. Couple months ago. And, I mean, somebody knocks on my door or rings my doorbell. I'm immediately kind of annoyed, like, who's coming here without, telling me first.

So I took my sweet time getting to the door. There's nobody there. So I checked my cameras and, you know, you see this kid ring the door and run away. I didn't even go outside. I was like, oh, that's funny.

Kids are still doing this. I I don't think you kids should. I think if you're a parent, you should teach your kids about the dangers of Ding Dong Ditch. I mean, we had the sheriff in Blackfoot chase some kids down with a firearm because of a ding dong ditch, and they weren't even doing a mean ding dong ditch. They were just, you know, posting Thanksgiving turkeys on people's doors to be nice.

Like, you know, hey. Let's let's go spread some holiday joy. Next thing you know. And then out with a gun in your face, teach your kids. It it's not the nineties anymore.

Apparently, you might die if you play ding dong ditch. So, yeah. I'm glad everybody was okay in this story here, but this could have ended horribly. And I, again, just don't understand people being that bent out of shape about ding dong ditch. Who cares?

Sit back down on the couch. People are so weird. So weird. So heading to Florida, I've actually got multiple stories we could do, but we'll we'll start with this guy who apparently really, really wanted some pork belly meat, walks into a grocery store, stuffs four packages of pork belly into his pants and then tries to walk out without paying. So a store employee's like, hey, dude, why don't you, stop that?

You know, Give me back the pork bellies. And then the guy gets mad. He's like, stop being a rat. Mind your business. And, then he threatened to shoot the employee.

The guy had $40 worth of pork belly in his in his pants. You know, he threatened to shoot people. That's gonna be pretty expensive in the end. A lot more than just buying the pork belly. So he ended up putting the stuff back on the shelf, but still followed the employee around threatening him.

Well, now he's in jail. $10,000 bond, you know, on on top of, whatever he ends up paying in the end for fines and such. Just seems kind of unreasonable to me. Bust out the pistol over, you know, a little bit of meat, but, I mean, we did talk about a guy earlier who tried to run over children for ding dong ditch. So I think there are just a lot of crazy people in the world, you know.

And it's getting weirder all the time. That's for sure. Anyway, good luck to those of you working in grocery stores. We briefly mentioned the story earlier about beef prices on the rise. Somebody gonna be stuffing hamburger down their pants, bust out a machete.

Who knows? Yeah. You're working that WinCo meat department. Just just be careful. And I'll be back with freak news in just a minute.

I I what's the worst thing we have to worry about as far as wildlife around here? Maybe aggressive deer? I mean, mountain lions don't tend to attack people. They're out there. It's weird now that we have giant cats roaming around, but you don't generally have to worry about them.

Maybe bears. Every once in a while, a bear will rip somebody to pieces. But if you're in Florida, you can't go near water, like, at all. There are dinosaurs swimming around in the water, and it's not uncommon for them to just pull people in. Alligators.

15 year old girl survived an encounter with a 10 foot alligator in Pond Creek, Florida the other day. Yeah. Just popped out of the water, grabbed her by the leg, and dragged her in. So she just started punching it in the head, and that's what you're supposed to do. In case you're ever attacked by a gator, just start punching it.

I think that's the same for sharks. You know, probably most creatures that are attempting to eat you, you gotta at least try punching them. So anyway, it let go, but then it grabbed her again, started doing the old barrel roll, but, she's fine. They didn't even need to chop her leg off. That's what it says.

The doctors confirmed her leg did not need to be amputated, and, she's, I guess, gonna be fine. I I mean, I would assume she's gonna have some scarring from that, but, ugh, just so glad I can walk by the river. Yeah. Not have to worry about a monster popping out of it and ripping my leg off. It's crazy.

Anyway, GTA six coming soon. You know there's gonna be gator attacks in that game. Alright. Anyway, what else do we have here? Another Florida guy arrested twice in two days after dumping more than 500 pounds of trash on two different roads.

So this guy, you you know, he pulls over and he dumps all of this garbage on the road. Looking at a picture of it here. And they're like, dude, you can't do that. So he confessed, cleaned up the mess, still got charged with, I guess, illegal dumping. And then the very next day, he brings the same garbage out and tries dumping it on a different road.

Like, bro, they they've gotta have a dump in Florida. You know? I get it. I've had a pile of, branches in my yard that I've been so lazy and haven't brought to the hatch pit since, like, last year. But I didn't just take them and chuck them in the street somewhere.

All right? I left them in my own driveway to look trashy. All right? Maybe I'll try to try to do that, within the next few days. It's not that hard to throw them in the back of the truck and just take them.

Anyway, we'll stay in Florida. We'll deal with a a naked Florida man. Not super uncommon, but, yeah. We got a naked man in public yelling profanity and threatening to harm people including a woman who was carrying a baby. You know, if you see a naked person in the streets, just get out of there and call the authorities.

K? Because generally, if somebody is wandering around the streets naked, there's there's something going on. Alright? They might be a little bit unstable. And, you know, that's not how anybody wants to go getting killed by a Florida man who's naked.

I mean, you would make some national news for the story. I'm sure, there'd be people reaching out to help your family. But still, that you don't want that to be the last thing you see. A naked man charging at you. Looking at his mugshot here.

Yeah. He had to be intoxicated. Them eyes are very red but you'd probably expect that. He's a Florida man for one and he was naked in the streets. Intoxication, it it it's just likely.

It's just likely. All right. We'll see what else I can dig up here for the rest of the program. If you need to get a hold of me, (208) 535-1015, the number to call. Well, hello.

Welcome to the show. Speaking of shows, you know, we got that Weird Al concert coming up on the eighth. And have you been working on your your little song parodies? You wanna win free tickets. Right?

Show's basically sold out. Nothing beats a free show, and it's weird, Al. It's gonna be crazy. It's gonna be so much fun. So we've got just a handful of tickets we're gonna be giving away, and I think today, we're gonna do it at noon.

We don't generally throw out the exact time, but I think today at noon, we'll give you the first shot at winning Weird Al tickets. What you gotta do is number one, be caller number 20, but then you have to go ahead and you don't have to perform it. You know, if you do sing it, it'll make for better radio. But, you know, pick out a song and Weird Alify it. Yeah?

Like, I I don't know. What what have we played recently here? Let's see. I'll give you an example. Okay.

Kickstart my heart by Motley Crue. What you do if you're not creative? You just go to chat g p t and tell it to write a parody based on, I don't know, whip up a fart. Yeah. It it would work.

The jade davis song. Woah. No. That's all you gotta do. Alright.

Just give us a a stupid song parody and be caller 20. Now if caller 20 doesn't have a song parody, we'll go to the next caller. So if you're a Weird Al fan, you wanna go to the show. Anytime we do a giveaway where you gotta put in a little bit more effort, your odds of winning go up because a lot of people are like, yeah, I don't wanna put in the effort. So giving you till noon today to figure out what whatever song.

Whatever you want. Just pull out the chorus and do it Weird Al style. Make a parody of it. You know? Make it funny.

Make it appropriate for radio. K? Make things easy on us here, and we'll hook you up with tickets to the show. If you don't win, I looked at the ticket availability earlier today, and there were, like, no tickets left. I mean, if you wanna ensure that you're going to the show, I would buy them, like, today because pickings are super slim.

Super slim. So go to the Mountain America Center website. Get your tickets. Or even better, try to win them for free from us. You'll have your first chance at noon.

I'm wishing you luck. Do you follow us on social media? You should because we've got fun content and wacky questions. Everyday Peaches does to peach their own. I don't know if you've ever checked this feature out.

He does it live during the 04:00 hour. Yeah. He throws out a question like yesterday. Have you ever fallen asleep during a movie at the theater? If so, what was the movie?

And I gotta throw out a big thank you to the 20 plus people who made me feel better about myself for falling asleep at the movie theater the other day. I'm still mad that it happened because I really wanted to see that movie. Yeah. Just put me in a dark room. Apparently, it's lights out, you know, for me as well as the room.

Ugh. I was seeing Eddington in case you didn't hear yesterday when I talked to Peaches about it. Peaches, thank you for doing the question of the day yesterday about falling asleep in a movie theater. Made me feel better. I only had one answer on the air.

Only one on the air? Yeah. Well, I mean, I would assume you read these. Yeah. I did.

From social media. I I forgot about my dad falling asleep during during the, Yu Gi Oh movie. The Yu Gi Oh movie. Yeah. So we have a family friend who's, special needs.

He's heavily into all that stuff. Yu Gi Oh, Pokemon, How to Train Your Dragon, all and he's like 30 years old. Okay. So, but back then, he was obsessed with Yu Gi Oh, so he was like, you know, the dad was all like, hey, why don't you and Brendon come with us to go see the movie? And my dad was so so out of place, and he ended up just making a big deal about falling asleep.

And he starts snoring loudly. He's like, oh, this movie sucks. I know that when I commented that I fell asleep during Eddington, you know, what what was her name? Asked me, like, hold on. Let me bring up the replies here.

Jacqueline said that bad. Bummer. And I'm like, no. No. The movie was great.

Just Victor's sleep deprived. I'm just old. And I get in a dark room. It it happens in here some mornings because I keep it pretty dark in here. Oh, that'd be hilarious.

I'm like, oh, I'm feeling kinda sleepy, maybe. Fall asleep in the during the morning's day. This morning, I I felt pretty tired at one point. Now I'm doing a little better. I got some more coffee.

But, yeah, I started having a hiccup fit in the middle of a break earlier. It's just been I mean, the content's been good on the show today, but just I I want a nap, and I don't want a hiccup. I've had sneezing fits on air before, but not ever, like just just all of a sudden, I'm hiccuping like crazy and have to just bail. Like, I can't do this. You know?

I'm shocked I was able to fall asleep during that Harry Potter movie because I usually need silence, complete darkness everywhere. Really? Oh, yeah. See, it depends on the, the day for me. Sometimes I can sleep through just, like, loud, you know, racket and light.

You know? I've I've got a big TV in my room, and I I can have that thing on, and it's just flashing, you know, because it's it's big in a small room. And, yeah, just no problem out cold. Other times, nothing's gonna get me to sleep. So annoying.

So annoying. But Last night was one of those nights where I stayed up pretty late for no reason at all. So I'm like, okay. Melatonin did this. And then Yeah.

I stayed up after. I stayed up pretty late last night too, but, ended up crashing out. Like, just bam. Out. Easy.

Then 5AM rolls around. Sucks. And it's only Tuesday. A day to sleep in is not coming my way for many days. So anyway, I know.

First world problems, man. Oh, you gotta go to your job, dude. When you're in a studio and you just sit there and talk into a microphone? I do a lot more than that. The the Oh, most listeners assume you just do that.

Yeah. No. I'm sitting here trying to figure out, music for z one zero three. Josh is on my case about, you know, figuring out music for Classy. I've been on your case for months about Alt.

Oh, yeah. And you're gonna have to wait a long time. That's why I told you. And I'm like, hey. Guess what?

Every single week, I'm pestering you about it till it finally gets done. Well, until he hires me an assistant, it's gonna be very slow moving. We have too many radio stations. We do. You know?

I don't know why we expanded. Well, because we wanna offer lots of amazing products, and we work hard on them. You know? The problem is back in the day, you would have one person do, you know, one station. Mhmm.

Now you have me doing, like, thirteen Thirteen. Yeah. Plus the show and trying to deal with, you know, whatever else needs done around here because that's just radio in this day and age. But it's frustrating for me, Peaches. I wanna get these things done.

But, Jade, I need an assistant. Alright? Or more money, and then I'll work a little bit later in the day. But till you give me more money, I'm going home at at quitting time because I'm I'm beat mentally beaten by listen I mean, if you gotta listen to a lot of those songs on, Classy, that'll beat down your mind, peaches. I would say it's a whole lot better than some of the other stations we have.

Let's see. Imagine vibes. Now here's the thing. I don't know what it is, what Katie does every single weekday at 4PM, but magically, she's just blasting EDM exactly at four during the show. They have a feature.

They have a feature at 04:00. All I hear is doop doop doop doop from the walls behind me. I think it's called, the monster. That's what it used to be called anyway. But, yeah.

I thought it was the 05:00 monster, not the 04:00 monster. Maybe they moved it to four. I don't know. Again, I'm so busy. I can't keep track of all the features on the various stations.

So give me more money and an assistant, Jade Davis. You know he's eavesdropping on my show. I don't know why he always listens to my show. He should be keeping an eye on what Josh and Chantelle are up to. They're always causing trouble, you know, raising a ruckus.

Oh, please. I've I've heard their breaks. Yeah. Our daughter doesn't like her show. That's what that was that was on their show last time.

That's pretty funny. I'm I'm glad I think my kids like my show. I don't I don't know. You know? They haven't mentioned it in a while, but they live elsewhere.

And if they're smart, they're asleep when the show is happening, you know, because they're on, Pacific time. So that's pretty early. Starting at 5AM? Oh, yeah. You know?

Gotta be a real maniac. Imagine being one of those radio stations that's syndicated on Pacific time. Wait to wake up at 01:30AM and then repeat the show at a certain point and yeah. Well, if you're syndicated from the West Coast, you're probably making good money. Oh, sorry.

I I'm fine. I'm not complaining, Jade. I just want more money and an assistant so I can get these jobs done. You know? Because, yeah, Peach is here.

Alts Alts been waiting for far down the line. A year now. So like I said, it's It's pretty far down the line. It's pretty far to hear me pester him, pester him, pester him Yeah. That's every single week.

That's okay. It's, low priority peaches. So That's great. I don't care. He'll be hearing alt one zero one in his ear the whole time until it's finally ready to go.

That's fine. That's fine. We'll get around to it eventually. You know? But first, gotta deal with z and classy.

We gotta, you know, gotta make classy a little fresher. So that's what I'm working on. And, you know, daydreaming about naps and things like that. It's a rough rough life for me, Peaches. That beanbag that's now my place used to be in the bullpen and people would take naps on that.

Yeah. If that was still in here, yeah. I'd be like, drag that in the k Bear studio. I haven't. I'm crashing out.

I could bring it in here. I I don't think they want it around because people will nap on it. I guess we do have a couch. Couch over the not that comfortable. Well, you'd bring a pillow in there, nice blanket, shut the door.

There's no windows. You could be much black. I could fit on that couch. Yeah. Yeah.

For sure. I could probably fit on the smaller couch. Oh, okay. I'm gonna quit talking about it. Anyway, thank you to all who made me feel better about falling asleep in the, movie theater.

You know, it just happens. Old man. Dark rooms. Alright. Let's all feel old right now.

Maybe not all of us. Some of you, this might make you feel young. It's a thread I came across. Basically says without revealing your actual age, what's something you remember that if you told a younger person, they wouldn't understand. First example was video games only worked on channel three.

I absolutely remember that. I remember, like, the first gaming system I had was the Atari 2,600, and you had to, you know, connect this thing to the back of the TV under a couple little screws, a little adapter to actually get the thing to work. It might have been the same with the NES as well. And then, yeah, you had to be on channel three to play video games. Your kids are lucky.

Now you just push input. And also the, TV quality is about a billion times better nowadays than it was, back when I was young. My first little little gaming TV was probably like a, like an eight inch TV, black and white, and I thought it was the greatest thing ever playing some Pac Man. Like, this is is awesome. Had no idea what it would be like.

Yeah. By the time I got older, gigantic TVs. Everything looks amazing. Got somebody calling. K Bear, you're live on the show.

Keep that in mind. Who's this? This is Josh again. Josh, good morning again. And, what you got for something that young people would not understand?

I remember thinking memory cards for, like, video games. When they came out, that was just like, oh my god. Awesome. Yeah. Yeah.

I I remember that too. You can actually save where you're at and not restart next time you play. Oh, yeah, dude. Yeah. And then, I mean, once you got into yeah.

Some games actually having a built in and things like that, that that was amazing. Because nothing more aggravating than, wanting to smash your controller after, you know, making it to the final world of Super Mario Brothers three and then having to start all the way back at the beginning again. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah.

I remember thinking that was the coolest thing in the world. Oh, yeah. And now every game, you just I mean, like, you know how much I play Red Dead. It'll just save your exact location. You know?

Yeah. Every gaming system saves it now, and it's just crazy how it it works like that. Yeah. Yeah. We we did not have the ability to save games back in the day.

And some of those games were hard as crap, and you just had to start at the beginning. That's why It makes you wonder, like, the old super nin or Super Mario. Sorry. Ninja turtle. Sorry.

The old NCF game. That game is How many people would've how many people would've actually beat it if they could've saved it? You know, I couldn't even beat that game with a game genie. You know? Yeah.

Like that That game was impossible. Yeah. I would always get to a certain point and get stuck even using the game genie. And for you kids, a game genie, this was the thing that you would plug the game into the Game Genie, which was almost like a separate game. And then you'd cram that into your Nintendo, and then you had to put in a bunch of codes.

You'd have a book, And you'd look up, you know, okay. I want infinite health or whatever, and you could use that to beat those hard games. I I remember that. Yeah. Game Genie was a a game changer if you, you know, sucked at, like, ninja guide then the very first one.

You know, it's impossible. Yeah. So Yep. Well, appreciate the call, Josh, and hope you have a good day today. Yeah.

You too. Right on. Peace. Alright. Bye.

Alright. We're getting into some some real old content here. Somebody commented, TV shows stopped after a certain time. They did. They did.

The TV would just stop airing things. You know? And back in my day I mean, oh, okay. I did have cable. Cable was a thing when I was a kid, but I remember before we had cable, you had if you were lucky, if you could pick them up with the antenna four channels, that was it.

Four channels and on the weekends seemed like Sundays. Everything on TV sucked. You know? Last time I was at a hotel and I was just scrolling through, you know, the satellite TV. I'm like, this sucks.

What's up with this watch whatever's on right now we're so spoiled nowadays people complain more than ever but you know if you look at technology and things like that we're doing good Alright. 10 floppy disks. This game's gonna be epic. Yeah. You know, old school computer gaming.

You'd have a stack of and they called them floppy disks even though they were hard. They were hard plastic. And, oh, man, the the installation process, it would take forever. You had to look like, know how to use MS DOS. Yeah.

Now you just fire up Steam. Click. Go. You kids are spoiled. Alright.

Make sure to not get on the phone before getting on the Internet. I I think a lot of people would remember, dial up Internet. Collect calls. That's I I would assume you could still make collect calls. Right?

Like, you'd go to a pay phone, which they're they used to be everywhere, pay phones, and you could, you know, use, like, one eight hundred collect, and then the person on the other line had to pay for the phone call. Man, it sucked back in the past. Be kind, rewind. Yeah. VHS tapes.

And it seems like some of the, the the movie stores would, like fine you if you didn't rewind the movie before you brought it back now who the heck that you know even uses d v d's half the time you know I mean, I've I've got okay. I've got two DVD players in my house. One of them is a PlayStation. Yeah. But I don't remember the last time I actually bought a DVD.

I guess I have picked some stuff up at, entertain mart. You know, you'll find some classic stuff there. I got, the Ali g show collection and the tenacious theme masterworks a while back because, my other disc had gotten worn out. You know? Some of that stuff you're not able to really find on streaming.

So this one's pretty funny. You could turn your TV to certain channels and, you know, if you didn't pay for them, you know, it might be staticky. You'd be like, oh, I could I think I could see what's going on here. That's funny. That's funny.

Blowing on the video game to make it work. Yeah. Punching your Nintendo to make it work. I had some pretty good techniques for making my Nintendo work. They involve beating the crap out of it.

K Barrett, you are live on the show. Please keep that in mind. Who's this? This is Kyle. How you doing, man?

Kyle, I'm good. What you got that, the young folks would not understand? I just wanted to mention, see if you remember back when Nintendo used to help gamers through video games over the phone. Oh, yeah. The Nintendo hotline.

I called that, many times. And, like, I've actually watched a, documentary a while back where they were talking about that. And, I mean, it was kids on the other end of the line that were just really good at video games. You know? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I remember doing I remember specifically calling them for one of the older legend of Zelda games, and they helped me helped me through that. Yeah. That was I just thought that was pretty cool.

I don't know if they still do that or not anymore, but I know they used to back in the nineties. Yeah. I'm I'm doubting it now because, I mean, a tutorial for every game can be found on YouTube. You know, there have been Exactly. Been times where I got stuck on something, YouTube it up and yeah.

And and, like, video game magazines, that's where you used to get, you know, all the codes. Oh, yeah. You know, other tips and tricks and I had piles and piles of video game magazines back when I was a kid. Yeah. I used to I used to get Nintendo Power and, what's the other one, Game Informer.

Yeah. Yeah. I've I definitely had both of those, man. Yeah. Yeah.

And I know you can still buy magazines, but I don't remember the last time I looked at the rack at Barnes and noble to see what magazines are even out there. Right. Maybe I'll have to do that. I'll have to go to the mall. Look at it.

I I heard some of those old Nintendo power magazines are actually worth a lot of money these days. Oh, probably. Wish I woulda hung on to a lot of stuff I had when I was a kid so I could sell it. Exactly. I need money.

I had some I'm sure I had some some old Pokemon cards from way back then that I just then folded and threw away that were worth thousands of dollars, but that's whatever. That's how life goes, man. It's like when Bitcoin was brand new, like Oh, yeah. I remember reading about it and, like, oh, I can just, like, make you know, mine this on my computer. And that was back before, you know, anybody was doing it.

Why why didn't I do that? Why didn't I do that? I agree. So stupid. Right.

So yeah. If only. If only. No. I guess I'm just gonna have to, you know, struggle on by till the end of time.

No. No getting that far ahead. Can't just suddenly get rich. Awesome. Well, cool, man.

Nice talking to you, Victor. You guys have a good one. Alright? You too, man. Good to hear from you.

Alright. Bye bye. Alright. Yeah. Wow.

Weird. Getting very nostalgic here. The Nintendo hotline. Anything else here? Oh, Netflix used to come in the mail?

I would think most people remember that. I remember when Netflix streaming became a thing. I was like, this is amazing. We got one more caller? Alright.

One more. K Bear, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this? This is troublemaker.

Troublemaker. What you got for something that would confuse young people? Jacks. Jacks? K.

That even confuses me. My my parents had them. And, Where you drop the you bounce the ball and pick up all the little spiky. Yeah. We had some, yeah.

We had some pretty boring entertainment back in the day. Yeah. For anybody listening, you had a bouncy ball and all these little, like, they're just little spiky things, and he bounced the ball and pick up as many as you could before the ball hit the ground and catch the ball. Or like you remember the paddle, the paddle with an elastic, you know, string and Yeah. And it had a bouncy ball on it, and you just sit sit there.

That was actually pretty hard to do. It was hard to do, but you you don't see kids playing with that kind of crap anymore. Yeah. I know. Or or dial phones.

That's another one. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like, I think I saw a YouTube video recently where Rotary phones? Yeah.

They gave these kids, like, you have a minute to successfully make a phone call with a rotary phone, and they could not figure it out. So Yeah. Yep. Oh, man. Well, right on, dude.

Good to hear from you, Trevor. I know all this stuff's making me feel old. Alright. See you, Victor. See you, man.

Have a good one. Alright. I'm I'm done feeling old for now. I'm gonna take a break. I'll be right back.

Peaches delivering snacks. Healthy snacks. Yeah. Breakfast of champions. Right.

Fruit. Gonna have some fruit up in here. Matty and I were talking about my Halloween costume, and, we we were thinking about being like a peach dealer. I got my trench coat with different peaches on the inside. That's, sort of unsettling, but sure.

Well, today, you're a cotton candy grape dealer. Though they call them cotton candy raisins, and those are grapes. They're not dried out. So I don't know why they put that on the package, but I have never tried these. I've heard of them.

Let's just give it a whirl here. Could we, sue them for false advertising for saying they're cotton candy raisins? We should. These ain't raisins. Raisins are dehydrated.

I did see, Poppy, not the artist, the, brand of soda Mhmm. Is getting sued for not being a healthy soda like it says. Yeah. They do claim to be, like Gut friendly. Gut friendly.

Mhmm. That's right. And it's not? Apparently not because Oh, no. They, had this whole thing where you can file your claim, and so I did.

You did? Yeah. Because I bought them. And I bought them too. Yeah.

Go for it. Yeah. Give me some of that settlement money. Sure. I need all the money I can get.

These don't seem to taste like cotton candy to me. Have you tried them? No. Try one. I mean, they're good, but they just taste like grapes.

You know? We could get them for that too. Did they charge more for these than the other grapes? Yeah. It's like $4.99 a pound.

Yeah. These are these are just regular old grapes. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean They do have a sweet taste to them, though.

Yeah. But they're still grapes, and they're not raisins either. No cotton candy. No raisins. There you go, peaches.

Time for another class action lawsuit just like against the poppy soda. Alright. Well These are pretty good. They are good. They just don't taste like cotton candy.

They have a little sweet taste to them. I'm not not the one guy was like, what do we call these? Well Cotton candy. I got it. If you come up with a good catchy name, it it helps your product, like cosmic crisp apples.

Cosmic brownies. Cosmic brownies, man. Yeah. Alright. I'll stop.

Gotta have little Debbie and their names. What was what's that one thing we tried? The Nutty Buddy Cream Pie. The Nutty Buddy Cream Pie. It was a bomb.

It was great. It was so good. Alright. I'll stop chewing and play a song. Hey.

I've been talking about old people stuff, Jaden, and you walked in. It's perfect. No. We're both old people. So Oh, you and your third mic.

There we go. You should know better. I know, but it's been a while since you popped in. Speaking of old people with no memory. Hey.

I use this mic every time. I know. You should just put Jade's mic on pot three. We could change that. Right?

I know. I can. And that that would actually be cool if Mike one just said Victor because it would drive Peaches crazy. So Yeah. I'll just do that anyway.

Okay. Sweet. Let's make this happen. Alright. So the topic was, you know, things that if you told them to a young person, they wouldn't understand.

Some some of the examples I was looking at a second ago were, like, when you would make prank phone calls back in the day, you had to push 67 to hide your phone number. Oh, that's it depends on how back in the day you're talking. Like, in the nineties? Yes. In the nineties.

Prior, like, nineteen ninety two ish? You didn't have to. Well, there was no caller ID. I know. That might that might blow people's minds.

How how about dialing? Did you have to do the rotary? We talked about rotary phones earlier. K. I mean, here's one that would blow people's minds.

Back in the day, Jay Davis was an emo. Like, full fledged. He he had the look and everything. Yeah. What did you call that hairstyle?

Laid down flock of seagulls. I don't know. Laid down flock of seagulls. Yeah. Just the email here.

Yeah. No. I, was showing, Becca my favorite picture of you, which is the one where you're modeling for Bleeding Star. Which one? There's several.

Well, the one that comes up in Google when you search Jade Davis model. Fair enough. That's a they'll do one I always send you every year for your birthday. Yeah. Happy birthday to Jade.

He's now 80 years old or whatever. Now. Now the the emo hair has just moved to the bottom of my chin. It even has the stripe in it. It does.

It's a big gray stripe now, but that's fashionable. Have you thought about, trying to dye that beard a wacky color just to be real crazy? I thought about just making it all black just to see right before I shave it all off. Yeah. I was gonna ask next, how long are you gonna grow that beard?

Well, I'm working on my wizard, and it's almost there. It it it's pretty Rasputin ish, you know? So I think it's just midlife crisis beard. Leave me alone. Hey, dude.

You know? I get it. At our age, everybody gotta have a midlife crisis. Yep. I paid off my midlife crisis yesterday, my TV.

Oh. That giant stupid TV that I spent way too much money on. I made the final payment yesterday. I was like, yes. Nice.

Is there a rewinding cassette tape on there? Well, there was rewinding, yeah, VHS tapes. Okay. Because, somebody posted be kind, please rewind. You know, that used to be on every tape that you'd go rent.

Yeah. You had to go into a store to rent a movie. You know? That was always a good time, actually. I liked going to a movie store.

But sometimes they'd be out of stock. That's true. You couldn't just get any movie you want. But for, like, a date night, you go there. They'd have little popcorn.

You'd fill up your bag. You walk around the store. Make a big mess. Great American Video. They had free popcorn.

Go have an argument about which movie you were gonna have. You have to get two, one for the, you know, the boring rom com. Yeah. And then something good for the dude. And you would sit through those movies.

It wasn't like now where you're like, this movie sucks. I'm gonna stream something else. No. You're like I paid for it. I'm gonna watch it.

Or when you buy a video game, you know? Like, there were a lot of horrible video games, but you play the crap out of them because you paid for it. You know? This game sucks. How about, Limewire downloads?

Oh, yep. And you weren't sure if you're getting the song or something horrific? Yeah. Or a virus. Like I said, something horrific.

Yeah. It was always very frustrating when you download it and like, this is not this band. How about Though I never did that because that was against the law to download music. I just saw other people do that. About, hopping in your car or if you're too young to have a car on your bike and just riding around trying to find your friends?

Oh. Because you never knew where they were. No. Because nobody had phones. Yeah.

So you just have to look for people. You know? It wasn't, uncommon for people to come to your door. We're like now if someone's at my door, I'm like, what is your problem? Yeah.

They knock on your door and then, mom, can I go play? Yeah. Those were the days. Those were the days. Smacking your TV or Nintendo to get it to work.

Doing the little Oh, yeah. Blowing the cartridge? Yeah, dude. I used to I mentioned that earlier. Just beat the crap out of my Nintendo.

Putting some tinfoil on the the antenna so you can increase its receiving ability. Back when we only had three channels. Yeah. Yeah. And then the channels, like, at the end of the night, they just stopped broadcasting.

There was just nothing else to watch. It's bedtime. Or it would be terrible infomercials and or, you know, call this number now type of commercials. Yeah. This thread's making me feel real old.

MapQuest. And it was never right. No. No. It was never right.

You print out all these pages. Speaking of old, he who shall not be named. I saw him, Google MapQuest. Old man, new stuff. Had a real good time.

Not good fun of him for Googling MapQuest. Apparently unaware that Google has its own map system. Which is way better than MapQuest. MapQuest is still around? I think so.

But you you don't need to Google it. Couldn't you just go to mapquest.com? And let's find out if MapQuest is still there. Oh, MapQuest was terrible. It was awful, dude.

And, I mean, how about pre MapQuest? You'd have, like, a big thick road atlas. Yeah. I mean, I'm playing with you. Fold the map and never get it folded back up.

Right? Oh, yeah. Nope. MapQuest is there. Yeah.

Wow. That's, that's pretty wild. I don't who's using MapQuest? The next time we take a trip, let's does MapQuest have an app? We're gonna use I bet they have an app.

We're gonna have MapQuest tell us where we'll go. Oh, no. We're gonna end up, like, driving off a cliff or something like that. That's fantastic. End up at some poor, unsuspecting grandma's house instead of the venue.

Oh, jeez. Happened to me once. Yeah? I I remember trying to find salt air back in the day. Same.

And it was It was so hard to find it. Which is it's not hard. No. You go down. You hit what is that?

That 80? Yeah and then you head west and then you'll end up there Yeah But for some reason back in the day where is this place? This is out in the middle of nowhere We're never gonna find it okay. Now people are starting to get inappropriate What of what makes us old? Yes.

If you reference? Yeah. Like, you know, back in the day, perhaps, maybe the JCPenney catalog Oh, yeah. Was was exciting because she didn't have a phone. Oh, that's pretty funny.

That's pretty funny. How about just language and and stuff? So, like, bee. Sup, bee? Sup, bee.

Or Yeah. Or hang loose. Hang loose. We had a lot of stupid phrases back in the day. Think about those stupid phrases now.

You got the riz. I know. They're they're just dumb now. Stupid. And I can't keep track of them.

You know, peaches will, like, throw some at me. I'm like, what does that mean? Then I'm googling it. Old man, new stuff. Thank you all for hanging out with me today.

Gonna take off for a bit, but I'll be back for the noon hour of madness and mayhem. And before I go, just wanna let you know because I see people complain about this a lot. Idaho is no longer the most popular place to move to in America right now, but we are number three. So, yeah, people are gonna just keep moving in. So sorry.

Apparently, South Carolina, number one, in case you were curious. But, yeah, what I found interesting about the little article I read was that, the most popular city to move to in Idaho right now is Caldwell. Why? Hey. At least it's not over here.
