#0141 - Smelling Salts and Pirate Pee - 01/23/2025

Hi. I'm here. I'm Viktor Wilt. Good morning, and welcome to the program. It's early.

And I don't know what the deal is, but the last couple times I went to Winco, they did not have my preferred brand of instant coffee, which is their just cheap brand. I've I've tried a few of the other options. They just don't cut it. And I don't know what it is, but pounding an energy drink in the morning, it just doesn't seem to do it for me. Maybe it just hasn't kicked in yet.

Or maybe I just didn't get enough sleep. I had a weird dream last night and it went on and on all night. And I wish I could remember all of the different angles of it. And I'm gonna, you know, edit part of it for sure because it it got weird. Some of it, I know where it comes from.

Alright. A desire to get out of town. You know, I'm I'm starting to feel that cabin fever a little bit, kinda wanna go somewhere. So in the dream, my lady and I attended what started off as a 9 inch nails show in Salt Lake City. You know, the dream world version of Salt Lake that didn't make any sense whatsoever at some venue that didn't exist.

That's how it started. At some point it shifted and we were in a strange version of LA and the show had now become a 9 inch nails show, but with acid bath headlining and then some weird opening act. All I recall, because I can't remember their names. You know, they didn't exist. But the, the one that I got a glimpse of, they were like wearing these costumes, like something you'd see at an amusement park or something like that.

Some kind of, very colorful characters they're playing metal, but then I kept having to leave the show. For some reason, I kept having to walk back to this very sketchy Airbnb. We were staying at in the dream. And for whatever reason, there were other people staying at the Airbnb. There were people working on the Airbnb and yeah, it was just a bizarre situation.

So I'm going back and forth. And for some reason we had the worst seats ever as well. They were like lawn seats and it was all cold outside. It was like a partially outdoor arena or something. So, you know, my lady's just by herself stuck on the lawn and I'm just going back and forth and back and forth because I kept forgetting things.

I had my pockets just loaded up with stuff, but I kept either losing things or forgetting things. So I ended up missing like the entire show, which was very disappointing. I was all sad. And then we leave the show and for some reason, some guys are following us, like, you know, 3 shady characters and they're trying to Rob us. And it's just, I don't even recall having anything worth robbing in the dream.

So then we're like on the run. Yeah. And it would maybe this came from playing the last of us. Lots of, you know, stealth were hiding behind things, trying to get the attention of the local authorities. And I think somehow ended up making it out of 10.

I don't remember the end because it, you know, was destroyed by the alarm clock going off, but it was one of those dreams that went on, like, all night. I remember waking up at some point, checking the clock, paranoid that I'd slept in and it was only 2 and I was like, awesome. I can get more sleep, but yeah, that was my evening. And I think it was an exhausting dream because I am just tired. And I know I say that often enough at this hour, but man, either the dream wore me out, didn't get enough sleep or the Celsius beverage just did not cut it this morning.

And I'm gonna have to go dig into the last reserves of Winco classic roast that I've got hanging out here at work. I think I've still got some of that. Yeah. I've got it. Right.

Got it. Right. I don't know why I'm asking you. It's not like you're checking the cupboards for me. But, anyway, just open for a fun content day today.

As we all know, social media has been just nightmarish place for a number of days. And, you know, it just got a little bit of help that maybe, you know, some normal weird stories are floating around. Doubt it. I guess since we had a couple tracks with love in the title, let's talk about getting married relationship advice from Victor Wilt. Now I was looking to read it and stumbled across a post asking married people what's the one advice you wish you could give single people who wanna get married.

Let's see if the Internet has good advice for people. Alright. My number one tip, don't get married when you're, like, 18. Alright? Don't do it.

I've said it before but I see young people around here getting married all the time. Just hold off a while. It'll be fine. You can even claim to be married. You don't have to legally do it.

You could claim to be whatever you want. Hey. We're married. This isn't my wife. You you know, you can just say that.

You don't have to go down to Vegas and hit the chapel. Alright? Okay. Let's see what the internet says though. Alright.

Think about the absolute worst day of your life. Wait. What? Why is this the top voted comment? Oh, is that who you trust fully to be there with you?

Do you trust their discretion to make medical decisions for you? I'd say that's pretty good advice. There's a lot of anti science, anti medical stuff floating around right now. I tell you what. Find someone who ain't down with conspiracy theories when it comes to all that.

You know, if you're put in a position where you can't make a decision for yourself, you don't want some out there person dictating what happens to you. Alright. Find a smart spouse. Jeez. Alright.

That that's fair. That's good advice. Alright. 1 for 1. Let's see what else we got here.

Make sure they have a compatible sense of humor. You will drive each other crazy without it. Yeah. That's that's probably pretty true too. You know?

If you laugh at things that make the other person think you're despicable, it ain't gonna work out. You know, you gotta find someone who's who's kinda like you. That opposites attract thing? Yeah. That that's not gonna work long term.

You gotta be on the same page with with most things. You know, nobody's on the same page with everything. But with most things, I think you gotta be. You know, like, I see these articles about people who are married that have completely different political views. What a nightmare.

Yep. The way if the way that I judge some people's statements on social media, you can't be doing that with the person at home. You know? Alright. Let's see what else we have here.

Assume good intent. It will save you from a number of needless arguments. I mean, if you hook up with the right person, I would hope you don't have to, you know, make a conscious effort to assume good intent. If it if it's the other way, you're like, I'm pretty sure they're up to no good. Yeah.

That's not healthy. K? So that that's pretty good advice. You 2 are a team. It's you 2 against whatever issue you are facing, not you against the other person.

Alright. Yeah. I mean, I I I think that's good advice, I suppose. To me, it seems like common sense, but, you know, sometimes people need a reminder. Treat it as the most important decision of your life.

Now yeah. I think some people just haphazardly do it. You know? I mean, I'm sure everybody knows somebody who's been married, like, 5 times or something. You're like, that's kind of a lot of money spent on court costs.

You know, maybe slow it down a bit. Again, back to don't get married when you're 18. I don't care what reason you have. Don't do it if you have a child or something. It's okay.

You don't have to be married because you have a child. You don't have to. Don't let anybody dictate how your life plays out. Alright? You be you.

Let's see here. These seem to kinda be getting into, common sense. Oh, this is a long one. Well, that's okay. Reading a long statement, you know, makes it easier for me because I don't have to think of what to say.

You're not going out there to lock down someone to make you happy for the rest of your life. You're looking for the person who connects with you in such a way that you will both willingly grow together to become something bigger than the sum of its parts that will create a happiness you couldn't have planned for. Alright. This is gonna be a pretty inspirational, statement here, isn't it? It's self sacrifice to create something you love more than yourself with the person you love more than anyone else.

I was a hopeless romantic my entire life, and even I was stunned by how incredible marriage feels. Sound like this person found the right person. You shouldn't be trying to max out on temporary things like, income status, you know, looking good because, those aren't what make relationships last through the reality of life or transform you into anything better than you already were. Yeah. You need someone around who definitely encourages you to be a better you.

You know. I know me. I I tend to do pretty good when I got someone around to, you know, keep me in line. Over the years, I've engaged in self destructive behavior before. You know, having someone who encourages, the best of you, that is certainly a good thing.

Let's see here. Where I lost where I was at in this this paragraph here. Anyway. Yeah. Yeah.

Think about the older years and taking care of each other. You want somebody you're not gonna have to worry about when it comes to taking taking care of each other as you get older. Getting old can be pretty brutal. Can be pretty brutal. The next person comments, this person's a liar.

Oh, it's because they said their wife is the hottest person ever and the smartest and the funniest. He is a liar. He is a liar. Guarantee. I got the hottest and smartest and funniest.

Alright? So whatever, big weld. Yeah. I'm with, what what whatever that guy's name is. You're a liar.

Hello, and good morning. Welcome to the Victor Wilt Show. Speaking of shows, you know, I started off the show talking about a desire to get out of town, maybe go see something like a show. Well, there were a number of shows announced yesterday. Never forget, if you're looking for something fun to do, our event calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar, That's the best place to go to find out about any kind of awesome concerts coming to the region.

Haven't seen Populive, so that would be cool. Killswitch Engage is gonna be at the Revolution concert house in March. I mean, there are so many awesome shows coming up. Just gotta get out of town. You just gotta, you know, make the plans.

Put it on the calendar. Just do it. I think Jade and I are gonna try to go see make them suffer like monster flames, wind waker, and Aviana at the complex at the end of March. But Whitechapel just a few days later at the complex? Too many good shows.

Not enough PTO. Not enough money. So I don't know. Pick 1. Oh, my buddy Nick has been just beating down my not my door.

I guess blowing up my phone. You will be in Boise for Meshuggah, April 6th. You have to be. Meshuggah with cannibal corpse. I mean, that is a pretty fun lineup carcass on the bill as well.

Oh, yeah. I bought a lottery ticket yesterday. I did. Maybe I'll maybe I'll win, and I'll go to all the shows. Alright.

I'll be back. Just been busting out a few requests from you folks. You can always call me if you have a request, by the way, not just when I go, meh, right now. You know, 208-535-1015. Always glad to talk with you.

And this next song, I've got a funny story about it. You know, there was one day when Peaches asked if he could talk to me for a minute. I'm like, sure. Sure. Peaches, what's up?

And he's like, well, you know, there's this band I heard of and I've just been thinking about them a lot because you know, the name of this band, I just wish it was a real place. I'm like, well, what's the name of the band, Peaches? And he was like, you should be able to guess it. If there was one place that I would wanna go, where would it be? I was like, well, I don't know peaches where?

Kingdom of giants. Oh, just playing peaches. Welcome to my program. Good morning. Happy Thursday.

Let's get through Thursday. We all need a weekend. We need a break. We need a nap. Try to stay warm out there.

It sucks if you haven't been outside yet. On my way here, truck said, 0. Mhmm. Fantastic. Alright.

Let's take a look at a subreddit that I had just discovered recently. And I wish I would have found this a long time ago because I like a good rumor. I like getting information before everybody else. I not I like leaks of information. The subreddit is called leaks and rumors.

And, I think the first time I saw this was when some of the 9 inch nails tour dates started, leaking to the internet. This one can be kind of fun because you got all these rumors about, like, upcoming movies and TV shows and things like that. A lot of these, I'm not, you know, very familiar with. But for example, somebody posted 37 minutes ago. X men Marvel Studios rumored to be eyeing former Thunderbolt star, Ayo Edebiri to play the MCU's Storm.

So if you're an X men fan, that might be pretty interesting. Right? Or what else do we have here? Stranger Things season 5 release date accidentally leaked by website API. Look at that.

I mean, this is all alleged. But according to maxblizz.com, stranger things season 5 will premiere on November 27th this year. I would imagine they could easily change that to go save. The leaks weren't true. What about this one?

Aaron Paul and Jonathan Banks. Of breaking bad and better call Saul. I I guess you could okay. I don't wanna do any spoilers here. We'll just say a breaking bad fame.

Yeah. Gonna be supposedly taken part in invincible season 3. Now I don't know what it invincible is, but they did say these would be voice acting roles. So, yeah, you got, Jesse Pinkman and Mike Irmantraut dropping some voice acting. That reminds me.

I need to put on the list of shows to watch Bojack Horseman. My daughter, Taryn, loves that show, and I know, Aaron Paul had one of the main roles in that show. And for whatever reason, I haven't got around to watching it. I think it's pretty dark. I think it's a pretty dark show, so I'm gonna I like dark shows.

I'm gonna have to check it out. One of those ones that I just forget is out there. Let's see here. Chris Pine rumored for the lead role in star wars rogue squadron. Man, they're they're really gonna beat star wars to death, aren't they?

Though I I don't know. All of the offshoot stuff I've seen has been pretty good. The Mandalorian, really good. You know, I saw a part of Andor, and it was good. Rogue 1 might be better than pretty much all of the star wars movies.

Oh, let's see here. Keanu Reeves reveals he's ready to retire from the John Wick franchise despite its success. Well, okay. I'm not gonna spoil the John Wick movies, but I don't know. Yeah.

Okay. I can't really comment on this without spoiling the movie. This seems like a silly headline to me. And I guess I should say movies. Movies.

Sonic the hedgehog 4 first look and release date revealed. Now is that really a rumor or a leak if it was just, hey. The trailer's out? Alright. Anyway, if you wanna keep up to date on rumors and leaks, might be a fun place for you to check out.

Lots of nerdy stuff in there. So enjoy. How's it going? Hope the, frigid cold is treating you good. You know, it's not bothering me at the moment because I'm inside.

Shout out to everybody who has to work in the great outdoors. I don't know how you do it. I don't know how you do it. Like, Jade, for example. I mean, that guy, he ain't got nothing but, skin and bones, And he was up on top of the mountain the other day fixing the transmitter.

You know, taking a razor to the top of a mountain when it's, you know, 30 below windchill and fixing things. I don't know how he does it. I guess you just power through. Like, alright. I gotta get the job done.

This is my job. Jade does, like, every job. It's it's really kinda crazy. It's really kinda crazy watching the miscellaneous that Jade may end up having to engage in on a day to day basis around here. I I hope he's enjoying a relaxing day off today.

I I do believe he's not gonna be in today. So hopefully he's taking a nap and bundled up and staying warm. Yeah. Much as I give that guy grief, he's a pretty good dude. Alright.

I'll admit it. Except when he interrupts me from doing my job. You know, yesterday, I was attempting to get the latest episode of the morning show podcast, you know, uploaded so people could listen to it because I was already a day behind. I didn't have, Tuesday show out. So yesterday, I finally got Tuesday's show done.

And then Jade just comes in and starts yapping at me. Do the yapping about stuff. And he's like, let's go shopping at Romain's. I'm like, well, I got podcasts I'm trying to catch up on. Let's go to Romain's.

Shout out to the staff at Romain's, by the way. Great folks over there. I can't say what we were shopping for because it's a surprise. Anyway, it it's not really that big of a deal, but we were shopping. Just checking out furniture.

And, what was the point I was gonna make with this? Oh, yeah. Shopping for furniture. This was supposed to happen at, like, 2. And I was like, alright.

You know, that's cool. I'll go shop at Romanes instead of doing my job. Sure. But then, you know, the yapping continued between him and Josh and Katie Lee. Yeah.

We didn't get out of here till 3, And then we go to Romain's, and I'm stuck there till, like, 4. I mean, I didn't mind because, you know, again, the staff at Romain's is great. And, you know, I like perusing things, checking out, like, oh, that'd be a nice bed. Yeah. That'd be great.

Because now I'm up to 2 cats as you know. I've been that way for, you know, the last 7 months or so. And when you got 2 cats, they take up a lot of space if they decide, oh, we're gonna crash in the bed too. So I think I need a king-size bed. But if you've been, mattress shopping, you know how that goes.

It's one of those a boy can dream situations. Like, dude, you got a bed. You've already bought too much junk recently. I guess it's not junk, but king-size beds sound pretty good. I I always drift back to you know how sleep?

You know how sleep's pretty cool? You know how it's all comfortable and stuff to lay in your bed? I shouldn't talk about these things, but they had beds there. You know? So, anyway, yeah, thanks again to Romaines for helping me and Jade out.

We're not, like, becoming roommates or something. Okay? Settle down. Again, I'd say exactly what it was, but it's a surprise. So you'll just have to wait and find out why we're Listeners aren't even gonna care.

Anyway, I should probably find some freak news. I'll be right back. Let's kick off freak news with well, I mean, all these stories are about stupid behavior. So alright. Well, I shouldn't pick on the guys who are in the stick club.

It's it's not stupid. It's silly. But, you know, if you're into, collecting sticks, go ahead and fire up the old Facebook group. Stick nation, join, and post pictures. These are, like, legit sticks.

K. I don't want you getting some kind of weird idea. Like, you know, when you're walking around in the woods and you see a stick on the on the ground, you're like, oh, that looks like a cool sword. Perfect post for stick nation. Yeah.

They've got groups on, TikTok, Instagram, nearly 3,000,000 followers. They got stick shaped like hands, snakes, Oh, the ever classic slingshot stick. You remember when you try to make a slingshot out of a stick and it just would work terribly? Slingshots I don't think are really a thing anymore, are they? I mean, when I was a kid, I remember I always wanted a wrist rocket.

You know? One of those really brutal slingshots. I don't know if I ever actually asked for one. Maybe I did and my mom was like, no. What do you need that for?

You're only going to cause trouble with it. No. Alright. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know stick nation exists. Okay.

Let's get into some of the stupid because there's plenty of that floating around. If somebody's in your yard, don't just walk outside and shoot them. K? You need to be under physical threat before you shoot somebody. This woman ordered groceries via Instacart, And mysteriously, a little while later, there's somebody outside of her house.

She tells her husband, there's somebody out in the driveway. I think they're trying to break into our trailer. So the guy walks outside, doesn't even say anything, just shoots the guy right in the leg. Now at least it was the leg. Could've been much worse.

I believe the guy is gonna be okay. I mean, you could still kill somebody by shooting him in the leg. You hit the right spot, you have the right artery, and they're done for. So you can't just shoot people. No verbal confrontation.

Nothing. Just blam. So, anyway, yeah, you'll go to jail for that even if you're like, I was scared. I was scared. There was someone in my yard.

Yeah. Just, take a deep breath. Maybe go, hey. What are you doing here? I have your groceries.

Oh, that's right. Okay. Thank you. And then you give him a tip. Yeah.

Not the tip of a bullet. K? Hopefully, the guy went back and tipped the, driver like a a good amount. Hospital bills ain't cheap as we all know. Alright.

What else do we have here? This is so ridiculous. Cruise passengers horrified as workers parade around while dressed as KKK members. K. I'm looking at video of this right now.

Now maybe they're not identical in every single way to KKK members, but I tell you what. If I saw people dressed all in white wearing pointy white hats that cover their face, I would also assume those people are dressed as KKK members. But, you know, the, cruise line's like, no. Hey. We don't know why everybody's upset.

They were dressed as upside down snow cones for the holiday season. Upside down snow cones. This is a pretty ludicrous explanation. Far as I know, did they say sorry? You know, like, hey.

We, you know, do not stand for these people on our staff who decided to dress this way and just parade around because it they're all hanging out together. Alright? No. They just said, snow cones. Yeah.

You know? Then they claimed that these, people working for them cleaning crew that far as I know still have their jobs. They claimed that that they'd never heard of, you know, the KKK before. Yeah. No.

Nobody's ever heard of that. It's very obscure. What? Why can't people just, you know, fire some people and admit they were just insanely in the wrong. There was another recent incident like this that I'm not gonna dive deep into where somebody made a gesture that was very disturbing to lots of people.

And their excuse was, you know, they were waving essentially. I tell you what. There needs to be a new TikTok challenge. K. We haven't had a TikTok challenge in a while because I see a lot of people saying, but that's no big deal.

No big deal at all clearly. Well, I tell you what, if I was to make that exact same gesture the exact same way, Now somebody's got me on video making that gesture. And then half of the community sees it online, half the people in East Idaho and they go, this is insane. How dare this person do this? You know what would happen to me?

I guarantee I would not have a job anymore. So I'm just saying. We've never heard of the KKK. This is so absurd. Surprised they didn't just try to say we were trying to send a, you know, a heartfelt message.

Yeah. Some of the dumb excuses I see making the rounds. Anyway, there's your freak news. It's just ludicrous. Catch it every weekday morning about this time, only on k Bear.

Welcome, peaches, and happy Thursday. It's pre Friday. We out here. Oh. It's the Victor Wilt Show.

Yo. That's right. Yo. Fools. I almost said profanity.

Woah. Haven't had to dump out on myself in a while. So your last break. It was pretty pretty tame from the from the news. Yeah.

You know, you gotta dance around things. Come on. Did did you see the picture? No. I did not see it.

Let me show you these guys. You can't be coming anywhere close to k. And I I don't wanna say the name of them. To the KKK? Right.

Yeah. So thank you. Hold on. I I gotta show you this because how they could have been trying to do anything else, I just I don't know. Okay.

Look at this picture. Oh, come on. We're upside down snow cones. We're clearly icicles. Yeah.

Right. Yeah. That that was one of the more, ludicrous things I've seen recently. So yeah. I know.

I know. Who thought of that idea? I'm like, okay. Let's go for it. Apparently, those, 8 dudes right there.

Stupid. Okay. So anyhow, as you were walking in, I was asking you, you know, if you heard Jade mention he wanted us to move this big heavy cabinet. One of these. Yesterday, I was real sad at the end because nobody said bye to me as they were leaving.

Okay. What But you didn't. You rushed out the door. Josh didn't. And then, Jade also disappeared but he's gonna be gone for the next 2 days.

I'm sure he was like, I want out of here. And, Justin Katie completely ignored me. They usually say bye and stuff. Okay. Maybe it was because I was intent on something.

Maybe. Yeah. I left kind of, quickly and unexpectedly because I was gonna leave a little bit early with Jade. We had to go do some shopping. Oh.

It's a secret. It's a surprise. So, you know, us not saying goodbye to you. Soon enough, you'll go, oh, that's why you didn't say goodbye. Cool.

Because we went and did some secret shopping. Okay. I'm So I'm up for secret surprises. But, yeah. You know, now that we're kinda rolling in the new year and sort of catching up on things around here, I mean, I'm still buried with classy, but, you know, and everything else.

Yeah. You know, there's some work we need to do around here. And one of the things Jade wanted to do is we have a certain room that we're gonna be doing some things with, and there's one of these big heavy cabinets in there. He wants to move it in here on that back wall over there. So you're like, let's get big dumb Brendan to help me out with it.

Well, I think we're gonna need all of us big dumb people, you know, because I I don't know how heavy those things are. We need to empty the other one out and move it in here. And by doing that I mean, you look around this room. It's it's kind of a mess right now. We got a lot of stuff we gotta figure out where to put it.

That cabinet could be a place we can put a lot of this stuff. And I I started thinking about a little bit of remodeling in here. I mean, ultimately, we need to remodel the whole desk setup, but, you know People probably doubt Victor's, like, interior decorating skills. I've seen his house. Yeah.

Well It's quite nice. You know, we've been doing a lot of, not enough, but a decent amount of video content. And if you look behind me, and we just don't have a good backdrop. Well, those are all that's all your crap. Well That's your Timu astronaut.

Yeah. I mean, Butronaut. Sorry. Yeah. And I I mean, I like that, but the problem is that most of the stuff that would make for a good backdrop is over to the side over there.

Definitely. So what I think we need to do is If we're getting rid of that CD thing right there, I might take that. You can have it. Okay. I'll tell you right now you can have it.

Because I I have a ton of CDs that are just stacked on top of each other that that would be perfect for. Okay. Well, that'll be the first thing to go. Yeah. Peaches, happy birthday.

Thank you. So all that stuff there, I you know, that little cabinet, I don't know what we're gonna do with that. That We move it to the z studio. We say this k berry studio is nice and clean, and then Katie freaks out on us. Here's the new stuff for your studio, Katie.

Get it out of my sight. Right. She has plants. I feel like she could use that. Yeah.

She could put a plant on it, and then we scoot this cabinet all the way over here so it's perfectly lined up behind the desk and where the camera would be, then we can kind of, redesign this full setup. And maybe we put the point north banner kinda underneath the air conditioner. We could even potentially put it in front of it so it kinda blocks it because the air conditioner looks crappy in the background. I mean, but it's essential. I mean, it's summertime.

You're gonna be begging for that thing to be turned on. Yeah. But if you put the Point North flag in front of it and the the air blows, it'll just, you know, blow through the flag. Keep your crap out of my studio. Okay.

Katie, you're listening. Okay. Well, put it here as on the others. The the walls are thin. That's true.

Okay. We'll put it in, the classy studio or Justin. Hey. We're we're having to move a whole cabinet in here, Katie. We got a whole cabinet that's gonna be taking up our space.

She moves like herds of cows too, so I feel like she could help us out. And Katie's tough. Yeah. She's gonna help us move cabinets. Said no.

So, yeah, I kinda wanna do, at least for the behind us, for making videos a better you know, like, when you see my videos from home, I've got it. Everything's very symmetrical and lined up. You know, I think it looks good. And then, you know, maybe potentially we can, get some more lights or something. I I don't know, but I just kinda wanna revamp things and get all of this junk that's all over the place out of here because it it's just kinda trashy looking.

Well, I think your favorite thing thing is when you turn right every day, you get to look at a trapped poster. Yeah. I think that the trapped poster is gonna have to go. I mean, we got, some old most of them aside from the trapped poster like, that thing, I I don't think we need to monkey with too bad. It's mainly this wall behind me that we just need to make it line up a little bit better.

We could probably even put the little, little cabinet over there. On the the quarter? Yeah. Just kinda swap them. You know?

And then we could, yeah, get our own plan to put on it. Oh, yeah. We can put, like, a camera on top of that thing too or something like that. Yeah. It could work good for, yeah, an overhead cam if we put a camera on a because Matty has a big tripod that we can check out.

Yeah. So, you know, just brainstorming here, but I know Jade, from what I understood, he wanted us to move that cabinet before he gets back. So, you know, we we gotta at least get that done. Thankfully, there's not a lot over there we need to move. I'm glad he's not helping us lift it, his poor back.

I feel so bad for him. Messed up yesterday hobbling around. Dude, the people that complain about the signal need to see what Jade goes through. And I feel so sorry for Jade. I I I hate to admit it, but I do feel bad for him too, Especially yesterday when we were out mystery shopping.

And he's, like, you know, trying to bend down and look at something. Right. I'm like, what are you doing, dude? Don't don't bend over like that. You're going to break.

You could've had me lift the tire up that came off the truck. I don't want him to break his back or something. Heavy, you know, and it was freezing out. Yeah. Poor guy.

He didn't even have his snow pants on. You know? You need some meat on your bones if you're gonna dress like that in zero degree weather, buddy. 3 20 like me, you're nice and warm, unlike the 20 that he is. So, anyway, I'll I'll probably bother Jade on his day off and verify, but I I think I I mean, we could just move the cabinet and then it's done with, but we're gonna have to move a heavy desk in that other room.

What about the, the green screen? The green screen, I think, will end up being something that, Goes in the other studio? It would go back behind us. Oh, even better. So when we do artist interviews, I could put the most insane images behind me Yeah.

Of certain gestures Exactly. You know, things like that. We have a variety of options. We have, you know, the whatever we set up here on the cabinet and on the wall, but then if we want a green screen, we just pop it up behind us and, can do green screen videos. Like our friend, Andy Matter, who also has a green screen.

Yeah. I mean, I bought that thing, and I haven't used it. So, you know, the the problem that I have is I need one more light at home. You really need 3 lights if you're gonna use green screen really efficiently because you don't wanna have a green line around you. You know?

Look like those meat canyon videos where he's just poorly cropped out even though it's funny. So yeah. I think it's done on purpose, though. I think it is done on purpose. So that's, that's what's on my mind today.

Playing catch up. I've you saw me going back and forth between my office and here Well, we gotta trying to get some stuff done. Get this stuff moved around soon because they're they're they're gonna be recording something in here around noon. Yeah. That's right.

That's right. I might need to just get it all done real fast. And plus, I brought in stuff for us to try for the new hour of madness and mayhem powered by Jalisco. Snacks, A nice bev. A nice bev.

A blackberry Doctor Pepper. That's right. Alright. My friend AJ already tried it because he lives by that Jungle Jim's shop in Ohio. Mhmm.

That crazy looking grocery store. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He's right by there. He'll he'll grocery shop there.

And he tried it. He's like, it tastes like cough syrup Doctor Pepper. I don't like the sound of that. But it's been refrigerated. Nice and cool for everybody.

I I they only come in 12 packs. So I decided, you know what? Once me and Victor try 1, then I'll get Jill one too. We'll put it in the break room and let people grab 1 if they want 1. Because I really like Doctor Pepper and, blackberry sounds good.

Usually, if something tastes like cough syrup, it's a cherry flavored. Yeah. So I was trying to get those Progreso soup drops. Yeah. I was I was thinking about getting a can of those.

Don't they go on sale today? They're prob they're probably gonna sell out within 5 minutes. Anything weird like that that's online exclusive. They sell, like, 50 of them and then they sell out. Let's see.

Let's, cause I thought it was on Thursday today that they were going to go on sale again. Had to go all the way across town for those, Doctor. Peppers. Dude, we can buy them right now. Okay.

Let's get them. They're only 2.50. Alright. How much do they charge for, shipping? I bet they're, you cannot oh, you can't add them to the cart.

It it says add to cart, and then it's like you can't. They must be sold out. What a bunch of garbage. Yeah. They're probably nasty anyway.

We need a soup connection. Wait. Anybody got the, soup drop hookup? Come on. Hey, man.

You got those you got those drops, Help out your homies, man. We need them soup drops. This is Griffin. How are you doing, Victor? This is I'm Jake, great, Griffin.

Have you ever peed in the bottle? No. Yeah. Liar. No.

Yeah. Liar. I've always found that there's a bush nearby that needs watering. Okay. Well, what if you were on a boat?

You know? What if you're stuck on a boat? You're a pirate. I'm a person. Right?

I don't know. Pirates had a pee barrel that they would save for washing their clothes later. I kid you not. Oh, wow. I gotta Google this.

Did pirates wash their clothes in pee? Anytime you learn about history, like, man, no wonder they didn't live that long. They're battling scurvy. They're they're Okay. 11 astounding facts about pirate hygiene you've never heard before.

We'll we'll dig into that maybe in the next break. Oh, man. I just wanted to comment on on the, the aged alcohol thing. Okay. People always get that wrong.

It's not aged in the bottle. It's aged in the barrel. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

That's It's that's good point. It doesn't get better sitting in the bottle. There's nothing there for it to to work against the age. Yeah. You'd have to have, you know, certain types of alcoholic beverages for them to actually, you know, transform over time.

And I I don't know much about liquor. Again, how does a bottle 200 years old is approximately that's what they're trying to say. Right? Yeah. Basically up on shore now and some random dude where where is this at?

That's a good question. California. I'm gonna say the Idaho answer and say it was some Californian. I bet I bet it was. I agree with you.

I agree with you for sure. I don't know what happened to the tab. It just disappeared. I'm guessing it's like Venice beach or some, you know, woah, man. Look at this bottle.

I mean, it could be, it could be a Florida man too. You never know. The article is from the BBC. So I think it was in the UK. Okay.

And they say it was a hand blown bottle. We found a bottle. Yeah. Hand blown bottle and based on the shape, you know, historically, they, you know, say these type of bottles were made around, you know, 200 years ago. Well, as I said, the bottles were.

Yeah. Yeah. Some some some person could have seen that bottle just floating there and went, okay. Sweet. I'll use this.

Well, they found it while digging. It was under the ground. Oh, true. True. True.

I forgot about that. I thought it washed ashore, like one of those messages in a bottle. You know, oh, we found a buried treasure. Yeah. That's some kind of treasure, I'll tell you.

Is that is that what, like, dudes with metal detectors on the beach dream of? They wanna try to find something like this? Yeah. There's bottles of old pee. Yeah.

I mean, they a lot of the guys who do metal detecting are interested in old bottles too, but, like, I don't think any of them are dumb enough to just drink it. Well, you know, we need some new TikToks now. That's how you know people are stupid when they see a bottle of, whatever liquid to go, man, my first thing to do is to drink this. Dude, it must have smelled, like, so potent for them to think it was booze. I mean, could you imagine they probably weren't hydrated all that well back then if it's from 200 years ago?

Probably. And it's been reeking over time, you know, in the hot sun. So gross. And then gets buried in the sand. I'm so glad I haven't had breakfast yet.

Yeah. Get yourself a nice thing of lemonade. Anybody thirsty for lemonade this morning? Well, we Alright, guys. You guys have a good morning.

Yeah. You too, man. Appreciate the call. I'll make that today's to peach the wrong question. Have you ever peed in the bottle?

Yeah. I don't know if Jake would be too happy about that one. And, sorry to everybody listening on demand. I didn't get the first part of what we were talking about recorded. I I hope you got the gist of it that somebody found a 200 year old bottle they thought was booze, but it was pee.

So that's the recap of the beginning of the break. Alright. Looks like it's time to, take a break as a matter of fact. So Use the bottle. No.

Use the toilet. K? And also be sure to flush. You know, if you got that There's been some people not flushing as of late. If you got pee that smells like pirate pee, you gotta flush that stuff down.

But should we take a look at the Oscar nominees? You know I like a good movie. How many of these have I seen? What are my thoughts? Let's dive in.

Just announced this morning, all of the Oscar nominees. Looks like the academy awards going down March 2nd, hosted by the great Conan O'Brien. Very nice. Alright. For best picture, I've seen, I've seen a couple of these.

You got a Nora, which I've never even heard of the brutalist, which is a new a 24 movie, which I don't think it's even out till tomorrow. Right? So certainly haven't seen that one. Maybe maybe I'm wrong about that. Maybe it has been out.

I don't know. Anyway, a complete unknown, which is a complete unknown to me as well. Concave? Conclave, I should say. Haven't heard of that.

I'm really out of touch as somebody who should be keeping you updated on entertainment. Now Dune part 2, I have seen that movie. It is excellent. Saw it at this awesome movie theater in Connecticut with my lady. We need a movie theater like this around here.

Like, the seats were giant, very, very com like, peaches would be happy with these seats. Full reclining in each row. You had, like, a, you know, not a not a railing, but, you know, there was like a wall in front of you, so you couldn't even see the people in the next row in front of you. And the theater itself was just massive. It was a fantastic watching experience.

Dune part 2. Good stuff. Amelia Perez. Now I've heard of this movie, but I don't know anything about it. See, part of my problem is I will hear about a movie, and I'll wanna see it, and I avoid any information about it whatsoever.

Like, recently watched the substance, which that is up for best picture. Kind of amazing to have a, horror movie in the best picture category. That is awesome. But, yeah. My daughter wanted me to watch the trailer for it, and I was like, no.

Don't wanna know anything about it because it's on all the best horror of 2024 lists and stuff. And I'm glad I went into it completely, blind because it was wild. Some of the other best picture nominees I'm still here, nickel boys, and wicked. So I've only seen a couple of those. And I like these lists because generally, if a movie is up for best picture at the academy awards, it is a good movie.

You know, it's one of those don't ever judge a book by its cover situations. Like I remember when I was a kid and this I wanna say was really before I even started, reading Stephen King. When did the Shawshank redemption movie come out? 94? So I would have been, you know, 11 or 12.

The title, I hear it. The Shawshank Redemption. Boring to a little kid, but my uncle was like, you gotta see this movie. I was like, alright. I'll watch it, I guess.

And then I see, oh, it's a Stephen King movie. I had watched other Stephen King movies at that point. I was already a young fan. Thanks, mom and dad, for being cool. Letting me watch that Cat's Eye movie.

It's wild. My parents were awesome. So, anyway, Shawshank Redemption. I believe it was up for an Academy Award that year, if I remember right. It was mind blowing.

It was so good. I mean, everybody knows that that is, like, one of the best movies ever. It's probably the best Stephen King adaptation because, usually, his adaptations are terrible. If a story's longer than, like, a 100 pages, you just can't make it into a movie. But, anyhow, that kinda opened my eyes like, hey.

If a movie is getting all these accolades, you should probably check it out even if it sounds like, oh, boring. Alright. Best director. The director of the substance up for best director. This is just crazy to me to see a just crazy horror movie getting these kind of accolades.

I love it as a horror fan. It's about time. Like, you know, did hereditary get nominated for any kind of awards like the academy awards? I don't I don't think it did. And that's like a modern horror masterpiece or Midsomar.

The time of horror is now. I love it. I love it. Alright. I mean, it looks like pretty much across the board when you start looking at best actor, best actress, you know, supporting actor.

The these are all from the same movies. The brutalist, Onora, a complete unknown, Amelia Perez, Wicked. I'm still here. A real pain. Gonna have to check all these out.

Alright. I'm not gonna go through the whole list. There's a lot of different movies and, you know, actors and such up for a variety of awards. But, yeah, if you're looking for something good to watch, probably can't go wrong by checking out some of these. So there you go.

There you go. You're totally, brief and, not very informative. Academy Awards update from me, Victor Wilt. You're welcome. Alright, Peaches.

So yesterday, as I was out and about running errands, not gonna say where I was, but I, I stopped somewhere, was talking with some people, and you've probably seen this item pop up on, you know, a variety of podcasts. I've seen it on some of the the manly podcasts. Super brutal smelling salts. Have you seen this as a popular new trend? I've seen Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn.

I've seen Yeah. Joe Diaz do it. Yeah. All all the top players in the podcasting comedian world. So, you know, I was aware of this, but I didn't realize, I guess, that it's of a a fairly popular thing.

So I'm, you know, I'm I'm somewhere. And some of the guys I was talking to, they're, like, you ever tried these, man? Smell and salts? Like, the super hardcore ones? I I don't know.

I feel like they can make your heart go pretty fast too. I And I don't wanna do do anything related to the that could affect the heart in any way. Yeah. I mean, from what I've been reading, because of the increased popularity of these, the, FDA has been thrown out some warnings that, you know, you shouldn't be using these just to, get a quick pick me up, basically. But you know me, I'm kind of an idiot.

So they're like, you ever tried these, man? I was like try it? Yeah. And, dude, it was crazy. Like What does it smell like?

Because I I watched the video with Theo Von and Joe Rogan, and I'm just like, man, I really wanna know what it smells like. They're like ammonia based. You know, I don't Are you sure it was gonna do with, like, the towel and chloroforms on it? No. It was a little jar.

Little jar. I think it had, like, a skull on it or something. Yeah. Let's go back to the whole pee in a bottle thing. You know, like, what makes you wanna drink that first of all?

And then you see a bottle with a skull and crossbones on it and you go, okay. Let me snip what's inside there. Let's open it up. They warned me. They're like, be really cautious.

Just, you know so I didn't like You're that white guy in every horror movie, aren't you? I really so, yeah. They they warned me until I went real cautious with it. I didn't just go, you know, I went, you know, you couldn't it it was a very, very tame breath in and, oh, man. My eyes were watering.

It was it was so crazy. Very, I guess, stimulating, but also I mean, yeah. It's not a great smell. Did you feel like you could dead lift, like, £600 afterwards? No.

I just went what is going on here? I feel like that's what they're used for for the most part besides, like People fainting. Reviving your friend that's passed out. Yeah. If somebody's fainting, that's what they use it for.

I think that's pretty much it. They're only FDA approved for fainting. And, yeah, it looks like some people could have pretty bad reactions to them. But, you know, when something's out on a podcast, people are like, I gotta try it. And I will tell you the the crowd that I tried these with was the most unexpected crowd.

I would I would love to get into a little bit more detail, but I don't wanna throw anybody under the bus. But there was a 2 people in particular is part of this crowd that I was like they they were the ones that had the most hardcore smelling salts. I couldn't believe it. But I really wanna know now. I'll tell you off air.

Okay. Okay. Sorry, listeners. Sorry. I just wanna say, you know, you might wanna look into this.

I'm not a doctor. I don't know anything about this stuff, but there's you know, I I decided to do some googling this morning, and, you know, there's a lot of information, on both sides about whether or not people should be using these as a a boost. But We're learning how stupid people really are for that. It was in, you know me. I'm kinda dumb, peaches.

I'm kinda dumb. So I was like that guy that tried the the Well, do it. The j word stunts after you saw. Please don't try this at home. Oh, yeah, dude.

When I was young Oh, I'd never. Never. I have had a friend push me in a shopping cart over the curb, and I don't recommend that either. I will say the smell and salt's a 1000000 times more pleasant than, getting pushed in a shopping cart and the shopping cart falling over. It it does not feel good.

It is really, really painful. Yeah. I was a stupid kid and I'm still a stupid adult. So, again, I mean, it wasn't like I had some kind of adverse reaction. I felt fine.

It was very entertaining. I was laughing. You should have recorded it. Put it on our YouTube channel. I will.

We lost 12 subscribers to one video. But, you know, again, I don't know if that I'll leave it up to, you know, the manfluencers to put that content out there. Fluencers. Yeah. I'm I'm gonna put that content out there myself because I don't wanna encourage something that I don't know if it's okay or not.

Just because I do something doesn't mean other people should. If I jump off a bridge, don't do it. Alright, everybody? But, yeah, it was my interesting experience yesterday. Wow.

Peaches. Get some fun days. I I just go home and hope. Usually, I just go home and sit on the couch. I did not expect yesterday to have anything out of the blue or out of the norm.

You know, come my way, it was just a typical Wednesday afternoon, but that was part of the day. So so letting everybody know I had a new experience, and I don't, I don't advocate for it or recommend it because I don't know if that's good or bad, but you can just buy them on Amazon. It's kinda crazy. Kinda crazy. So to be cautious, people.

You know? Just because Joe Rogan says to do something doesn't mean you should. Well I think Joe Rogan talks about how nicotine's healthy too. You're also like the, the Idaho equivalent of Joe Rogan. Now wait a minute.

Same height, same haircut. Don't compare me to him. I have stayed But you're the you're the opposite. You know? That's true.

And I have stayed the path. I didn't have a Woah. Woah. What are you doing with your hand there? Oh, jeez.

I have stayed the path You're doing that. And I didn't gesture that I the dress woke up. I did not Woah. I did not beat my arm against my chest before I That's a good one too. Alright.

We got them. I'm putting it online. Got peaches in the house, and I don't know why I do this. But lately, I've been going to eastidahoneews.com way too early in the morning to be looking at snacks. You've seen their piles of delicious treats?

There there, was it Tasty Tuesdays feature? Tasty Tuesdays. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

That that I was sort of teasing about the name, the buttery flaky crook cookies crumble what what what were they again? The soft chewy crumbled cookies? Oh. Made out of Biscoff? Delicious.

Mhmm. Delicious. Because you you've tried those Biscoff ice cream bars. Right? Yeah.

I I don't like you for that because you showed me those ice cream bars and I ate the whole box in 1 night. Dude, yeah. I I just have to walk past them. I can't look at them. I can't see them.

I see the price of my one of my favorites, the the ice cream cookie sandwiches, like, $16 for, like What? A box of them. Like, no one's too much money. Yeah. The Biscoffs, they have gone up over $4.

So now when they're in that $3 range, that's when it's really hard to say no. You know? But if they're, like, 428 or whatever, I'm like, ah. Yeah. It's a little steep.

A little steep. Right. It's worth it, though. Be totally worth it. Well, I was looking at eastidahonews.com, and they were talking about the new Post Malone Oreos.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I saw Justin from 105 The Hawk posted about these, yesterday. Salted caramel and oh, what else is on there?

We've got a swirled cream filling Oh. Which mixes salted caramel and shortbread flavor cream sandwiched between a chocolate cookie and a golden cookie, and then they've got, you know, some kind of post Malone designs on them. Face tattoos and stuff. I don't know what they are, but they look good. Oreos, man.

Another curse. You know, I like getting some ice cream, and then he put the Oreos in it. And then I guess you gotta bake up those Biscoff cookies from east Idaho news.com as well. Smash those into some ice cream. Oh.

The Victor Wilt sundae. Dude, ice cream is the the best and the worst. It really is. Because it's not good for you. I mean, it it just loaded with calories and fat and sugar, but it's so good.

Delicious. It's so good. Oh, I love cake batter ice cream. That's one of my favorites. Oh.

Now do you eat ice cream plain or does it have to have stuff in it? It has to have stuff. Yeah. Like, I can't just go vanilla or chocolate or even a blend of them like the Neapolitan with the strawberry chocolate vanilla. My dad will get the just the vanilla.

It's How? How can people do it? He's type 2 diabetic. I think he wants to save us something sweet at least one time. Yeah.

Like, if I had vanilla ice cream, I'm definitely gonna have to smash Oreos and Reese's in it, all kinds of Stop it before I need to go to the the ice cream shop before noon. And then I took my daughter the other night after I made dinner. I was like, I I got a deal from, Freddy's. Oh, yeah. Where they're like, well, if you make a purchase of $5, you can get a free mini concrete.

And I was like, okay. Any one of their items is over $5. Exactly. It's quite expensive. So you do I went and bought one mini.

The one thing I do love there free. Is the the hot dog with the Texas toast bun. I haven't tried it. Oh, it's good. Crazy enough is in all the years living 2 minutes from Freddy's, I haven't tried it.

Not even that. It's probably even shorter. It's probably a minute from your place. You can go right outside? Yeah.

It's right there. It's right there. I'll just talk to you. Give out your address. Alright, everybody.

Here's where I'm at. What's Josh's address? Oh, I don't know. I I never seen his house. Oh, you haven't?

No. It's right around the corner for me pretty much. I've only ever played Fortnite with Josh. I haven't done anything else besides that. Yeah.

It's weird. My neighborhood, there are a lot of radio people in it. It's kinda crazy. Like, whether they work in sales or, or on air. I'm not gonna give any of the on air people free plugs because their shows suck.

They're terrible, and nobody should listen to it. Especially mine. Peaches does well, you're sort of in my neighborhood. I'm just across the street. Yeah.

We got Josh Josh and Chantelle around the corner. Oh, I said I wasn't gonna throw them under the bus. Nah. Nah. Josh and Chantelle are great.

They're they're great neighbors, Dan. They have more podcast downloads than you. Well, if you look at my traffic school downloads I I'm just saying Yeah. Just based off their show alone, they're killing it. Yeah.

But, I got 2 shows. So we're we're about even. I am free. For them. And I'm still way lower than both of you.

Pete people, you need to download Peach's podcast. Peach's pit party. Everywhere podcasts can be found, you know, while you're mowing down all of the delicious snacks that East Idaho News likes to share with us, like post Malone Oreos. Oh, we need to get a pack of those. Do you see those Boston cream pies on East Bayonne?

I'm trying to I'm trying to go to the gym early in the morning. I was on the treadmill this morning next to, loyal listener Troy. We're just chatting back and forth. I think I'm productive. You You know, and I I saw those glazed donuts that I left on your desk.

I'm like, oh, should I grab 1? Should I grab 1? Nah. I can't do it. Yeah.

I, for some rea it was a weird morning when you brought those in. I just didn't have the donut craving yet, and I think that was the day I had to go rescue Jade from out in the desert. Right. Right. And then Run timing.

Yeah. So I just I missed out on the, the donuts. So anyway, everybody, post Malone Oreos available. I don't know. Are they available now?

No. We we have February 3rd, just in time for Valentine's Day. We do have something fun to try that's full of sugar. That is the blackberry Doctor Pepper. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. We get Gonna give that a whirl. We'll be doing a taste test of, considering Victor did not bring his camera, I'll I'll prop up my phone on the mic arm and then have to Yeah. We'll do all this technical stuff to edit the video. I'll figure it out.

Or we can just pop in the hallway. Yeah. And you grab your phone and blah blah blah. Sure. Because I would imagine sweet sodas, sticky that that we probably don't wanna push the boss's, buttons, you know, by taking it too far and doing so to Well, then not here or the The big boss is here.

He was just here. Yeah. I don't wanna get him mad at all. No. He's much scarier than Jade.

Okay. Jade come by. It's like, come on. You're a skeleton. What are you doing, man?

I was really wanting to be the big boss man for Halloween, but I really don't wanna make him mad. I almost did it 1 year. But I oh. Back when I People think me and him are walk like, you know, the same going down the hallway. That's because, you you sometimes have a similar voice, and you're both tall.

Yeah. And, just amazing people. Now we we do have the best big boss man. That's for sure. Alright.
