#0189 - Sleep-Deprived, Over-Caffeinated, and Under-Qualified: The Viktor Wilt Chronicles - 04/29/2025
Hi. It's me, Victor Wilt. This morning, it's been a little bit of a rough one for me. How often do I say that? Probably too often.
Ugh. I do not know what my problem is. I cannot get to sleep, and then I sleep so lousy. Oh, won't get into the details, but it's just a long evening, and I am exhausted. Oh, well.
What do you do? Pound caffeine. Power through. Mhmm. So I hope your morning's going good so far.
I'm sure mine will improve. Just gotta keep moving here. But it's hard. I it's one of those days where you remember in school when you could just put your head down on a cruddy hard desk and just just out cold? That could be me on the board today.
Yeah. Have to practice my, high school sleeping skills and, just see if I can go ahead and, well, there's lots of buttons here, though. I don't have a flat desk. Might, you know, put the station off air if I decide to put my head down. I don't think that the, management would enjoy that one.
Alright here. Oh, why am I stumbling across these kind of threads first thing in the morning? Rich people. What rich people's habits could you not break no matter how poor you'd become? Oh, boy.
Let's hear about, how rough it would be for the rich folks to suddenly live in the rest of our shoes. All right. Let's see here. People are talking about brand name foods, blah, blah, blah. Having people do the hard work I don't know how to do.
Now, even though I am not rich, I definitely take that route at any time possible because if you don't know how to do something, you're probably gonna screw it up. K? There have been enough projects that I've decided to do over the years that I've screwed up that I'm like, alright. I'm just gonna hire a pro. K?
Hire somebody who. That's what they do. You know, it's like when we talk about the advocates. Sure. You can fight with the insurance companies, but why not bring in a pro to do it?
Somebody who knows what they're doing and does it for a living. Well, and they don't charge you anything until they win your case. Wouldn't that be awesome? Every type of business you got, you know, some type of a financial benefit coming back at yourself. Yeah.
And, until it's all coming your way, they don't charge you anything, that'd be fantastic. Let's see. What other rich people habits could these folks never break? I'm never moving and not hiring movers again. Okay.
I'm a book collector. I have I I don't know how many books. I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. I have, like, 10 bookshelves. Oh, maybe 11 if I count that.
Yeah. You ever lugged around boxes of hardback books? You can't put a lot of them in a box. All right? Because the box will break.
If you got a big box, no. You gotta have a bunch of small boxes and moving them sucks but I'd still have to package them up myself. I wouldn't trust movers with my collectibles. No. Oh, what a pain too.
Individually wrapping books before you put them in a box. It takes forever. Forever. I've never hired movers, but I bet that's awesome. I bet that's great when you're moving.
Somebody commented they feel like most people here don't really know what poor means. Probably not because sorry. You ain't gonna be able to afford movers if you're living off of ramen. K? I I've been there.
Nothing but ramen. That was my diet. I can't even eat that that stuff at all anymore. People wanna go out to the, ramen restaurant. I'm like, I know it's better than buying a packet, but can we go anywhere except the ramen restaurant, please?
And I've had really good ramen at a restaurant. Every once in a great while, I'm like, alright. Let's get some ramen a go. But yeah. Wish I was like my kids and could still, you know, look at ramen as some kind of a treat.
Alright. This thread's getting depressing as I scroll through it. I'm not even gonna read this stuff to you. Eating honey crisp apples. Well, alright.
That's, that's an everyone activity. Right? At least for now. Okay. I'm getting out of here.
I'm I'm not gonna read this anymore. I wanna think about, money. What am I doing? Yeah. Is there a responsible host trying to brighten your day?
First break out of the day, and I'm talking about money? What's wrong with me? Lots. Lots. Anyway, there's that.
I think I'm gonna take some ibuprofen. Dudes are dumb. I'm gonna tell you how to not go about impressing the ladies here. It's just not worth it. I mean, even if it paid off, I don't think it would be worth it to shoot yourself in the abdomen to try to gain sympathy from a coworker that you got the hots for.
Of course, this was a Florida man. Guy pulls into work, parked his car way out in the parking lot. So it was, you know, out of view of surveillance cameras. And then, you know, next thing you know, he walks in and, help. Somebody shot me.
Lays down on a couch, and so, you know, the ambulance shows up, takes him to the hospital, and cops are like, alright. What what happened? He's like, they tried to rob me. They tried to rob me, But he couldn't keep his story straight. So finally, they started looking into this guy and found a previous instance where he was accused of harassing and stalking a coworker.
And, so they, you know, started kinda grilling him on things, and he eventually fessed up. Yeah. You know, I really like this girl, and I wanted her to feel bad for me, so I shot myself in the guts. So not only, you know, is he suffering through the healing process of a bullet wound that he inflicted on himself, but now he's got a bunch of, criminal charges as well. Giving false information during an investigation, tampering with evidence, firing a firearm in public.
So I guess he's out on bail, but what a moron. You know, sometimes if she ain't India, you just gotta accept it and move along, dude. Be like, alright. Yeah. She's not the one for me.
Find somebody. They're they're out there. There's someone for everybody. You shouldn't have to go to these kind of extremes to pick up a date. Alright?
Not worth it. Okay. This kid in Utah was partying. Jeez. Alright.
This was, South Ogden. Seven year old boy with his little sister in tow drove his mother's car through several towns. Got made about a a 10 mile trip, and apparently citizens in Ogden shocked and in disbelief that this could happen. They can't believe he could even see over the steering wheel. Okay.
Seven years old. We'll have to ask peaches. How tall were you at seven? I bet peaches could see over the, steering wheel probably at two or three. So anyhow, 8AM on Sunday, cops get a call saying there's a reckless driver.
Car wasn't staying in its lane. Driver appeared to be really young, so they they found him. And this woman they interviewed in the article, she's like, it's crazy to me. I can't believe he had the knowledge to really know how to drive a car. Okay.
It's not that difficult to know how to drive a car k you know you got the key you gotta fire it up and start it could just be a push button Could be really simple. And then you have, you know, your gear shift. Alright. Gotta go into, reverse or drive. And then you have a gas pedal and brake.
The end. Alright? Any kid who's played video games has gotten the basics. If you played Mario Kart, you've gotten the basics of how to drive a car. I mean, to say it's unbelievable for a seven year old to know the basics, I think you gotta be, living in a cave.
You know? Thankfully, nobody was hurt or anything like that. I don't believe they're charging them with anything. They should've. Teach that seven year old a lesson.
That's right. You don't take things without asking. No. I'm just glad everybody ended up okay, but I did find it just funny that people could be this baffled. I mean, I don't remember a lot about being seven, but I'm pretty sure how to drive a car like the basics.
It doesn't mean you're gonna be good at it, but the basics, I I don't think that's very unbelievable. Alright? K Bear, you're live on the show. Please keep that in mind. Who's this?
Hey, Victor. This is John. How are you? John, I'm good. What's on your mind?
I just was wondering if I know you're a bit of a video gamer and not to be rude, but you're not the youngest one. Neither am I. That's fine. That's fine. It's not rude.
It's true. One of my favorite games of all time. Have you played the Elder Scrolls series? Only a little bit. Only, you know, some, Skyrim.
And I think back in the day, I might have played Oblivion a little bit, but, never got super into them. I was gonna say, have you seen the Oblivion remaster? I've seen some articles about it in some video. Looks pretty cool. Looks pretty cool.
If you like Skyrim, I think you should give it a shot. It's one of my favorite ones I've ever played, and it's pretty dang good. Alright, man. Yeah. It's on the list for sure.
I've got a lot of, video game catching up to do, but, I do intend to pick it up one of these days. Right. Alright. That's all I had. Nothing real great, but Right.
You're gonna throw it out there. Hey. Appreciate the call and the recommendation. Yep. Have a good rest of your show.
I'll be listening. Right on, man. Appreciate it. Yep. Peace.
Alright. A little bit of video game recommendation to wrap up that break. Can you tell I'm in a good mood? Didn't even get on the caller for being off topic. Let's roll freak news on Kay Bear.
Alright. What do we got to start things off? Wasn't it just yesterday we had unruly passengers on an airplane? Stop it, people. If you can't behave yourself, don't fly.
You're ruining it for everybody else. Pilot recently had to threaten to turn the plane around after a stressed out passenger went into the bathroom and just started vaping like crazy. See, traveling from LA to Cancun, Mexico. You're heading to, like, tropical paradise. K?
Oh, what am I gonna do? I gotta go vape. Just chill. You'll get that nicotine when you get landed. Can you imagine you're headed to Cancun?
You're like, all right. Vacation. And some idiot in the bathroom gets the plane turned around. Well, thankfully, I guess, they didn't turn the plane around, but, yeah, it's not allowed. K.
It's not allowed. Get yourself a nicotine patch or even better quit smoking. Quit vaping. Nicotine is terrible. It's What a stupid substance nicotine is.
Right? It doesn't really do anything good. You know? It just eats money. That's all it does.
Eat money. I don't know. Highly encourage you to get off the nick. Yeah. It's just bad stuff.
Alright. What else do we have here? Oh, the most popular book genres in each US state. This should be interesting. Where my horror fans at?
Well, they don't even have horror as an option here. Apparently, looking at this list, people read a lot of garbage in my humble opinion. Yeah. They analyzed one year of Google Trends data to determine the most searched book genre in each state. Idaho, you got bad taste.
And I I don't know if I'm buying this. Apparently, poetry is the most popular book genre in Idaho. Poetry. Do you know anybody who sits around reading poems? I don't.
But I mean I pretty much hang out with a bunch of, metalheads and horror fans. So yeah. Everybody I know it's like, oh, well you don't read horror? You get. Who are you?
How dare you? Yep. The most popular book genre nationwide? I'm not buying this either. Well, maybe.
Romance. Romance. I mean okay. There was some book making the rounds recently that people were all obsessed about. I saw it popping up on Facebook, but I don't recall what it was called.
I'm assuming it was romance. Remember, twilight? I think that would be considered romance. It's certainly not horror even if it's a little bit horrifying. Yeah.
Maybe romance is pretty popular but I I don't know. It's like I think the only romance type thing I've ever read is if you've ever read Misery by Stephen King, the story gets interrupted throughout with the story that the author who's being held captive is writing for the woman holding him captive, and I always just skip those parts. I've tried to read it, and I'm like, what what is this? Enough. I I don't wanna read any more of this.
Just skip to the next chapter. I don't think there are any plot elements that you have to pick up on in these romance sections of misery but aside from those it's a great book. All right, Idaho. Come on. Get out of the the poetry thing here.
I mean, at least feel like Washington state and go for fantasy or something. I don't read some Game of Thrones. Jeez. Alright. What else do we have here?
I'll save that one for a few. Mount Fuji Climber rescued twice after going back for lost phone. This guy, he has to get rescued off of Mount Fuji after climbing outside of its official climbing season. And then four days later, he went back because, yeah, he couldn't find his phone. So they had to rescue him again.
How do we we punish people who you know do these kind of stupid stupid things? I mean I I don't want anybody to like die like well they should have left him the second time. No. No. Let even if he's dumb I would prefer that we save people.
But there there needs to be some kind of a punishment for this guy. Alright? As far as I see in this article, no punishment. Alright? Some kind of a wasting police resources or something like that.
There's gotta be something. Yeah. But don't do that. K? It's like those people who go hiking in Phoenix in mid August.
What are you doing? Stay home. Well, as someone who's kinda dumb, I do like to surround myself with people who are kinda smart. I recommend you do so as well. It's good to have smart people around you, You know, help keep you in line.
You can also ask them for, like, help with stuff. So how do you determine who's smart? Well, I found a list of 15 subtle signs that someone's smart. Alright. I'm here to make you feel dumb.
That's okay. I feel dumb, like, every day. So, you know, join team dumb on the Victor Wilt show. Okay. Subtle signs that someone is highly intelligent.
They admit their mistakes. Alright. So far, I'm looking highly intelligent. I will definitely admit my mistakes because I make lots of them. Sometimes I'll, I think, even overshare when it comes to admitting my mistakes.
Like, if I flub up a word, you've heard me do it. Sometimes I'll start screaming at myself about my mistakes. I'll admit it to the world, to every listener, and I'm supposed to be a professional. Alright. Great problem solvers.
Very good at problem solving even if it's something they have no experience with. They always approach the problem from the right angle. Alright. Well, when I have a problem, I tend to try to either find a smart person around me and ask them for assistance or Google the crap out of it. So I'd I'd say that's a decent way to solve problems.
Now I'm going to other smart people to fix that issues, but still, if you're solving the problem that makes you a highly intelligent right, I'm two for two. Alright. Let's see what else we got here. They appreciate nuance. I can hold two opposing ideas in my head at the same time.
Anyone who is willing to do that is intriguing to me especially with polarizing issues. They might actually be interesting to talk to. I'm trying to think. There we go. I'm dumb.
I mean, generally, I've got my mind set in one direction, but I do try to take a look at, polarizing issues and other viewpoints. Like yesterday, I stupidly got into a Facebook argument about some, political stuff. I mean, I didn't intend to, but I made a snarky remark on an East Idaho news post and some people got butthurt about it and, you know, when they started firing back at off topic things at me, I still went and tried to look into what they were saying. But since I couldn't find it, I requested, hey. Could you send me some, some sources on that?
I at least tried to, look into the opposing side. You know? Never got any acceptable sources in my my opinion. But, anyhow, they say I don't know. You should do that anytime that you don't know.
K? I don't know how many times I've seen a problem pop up from somebody who's like, yep. Yeah. We got it covered. And then, you know, down the line, you're like, that person had no idea what they were doing whatsoever.
Why didn't they ask for help? Why didn't they just say I don't know how to do this? Ask for help. K? You don't know how much of a nightmare you can make things for everybody else when you just simply won't admit that you don't know something.
Yeah. Ask for help. Okay. Number five. They have self doubt.
Yeah. Imposter syndrome. Okay. That that that rolls strong in the Victor Wilt brain. Yeah.
Charles Bukowski once wrote the problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts and the stupid ones are full of confidence. And according to science, he's correct. Yeah. That's what it says right here. So I'm going to accept that since it came from, the chair of cognitive psychology at the University of Bristol.
Sounds like a good title. I'll buy it. They ask questions. You know, back to I don't know. Yeah.
If you don't ask questions, you're just gonna accept whatever's fed to you that you find on Facebook and that makes you even dumber. All right. They love a challenge. Do I love a challenge? Sometimes.
Like if it's a video game. I like the challenge. Most others? Okay. I I'm lying.
I guess I do like a good challenge. Like, trying to learn how to, you know, program a radio format I'm not familiar with. I I found that, a fun challenge. That's pretty good. That's, you know, how you improve your skill set.
Work on some challenges. Alright. They also say they know their audience. I think I'm fairly decent with that. Can simplify big ideas.
Listen to people they disagree with. Absolutely. It's why I enjoy getting in Facebook arguments. I do like to hear what people have to say. The frustration comes in when they don't listen to anything you have to say.
You know? Even if you link some good quality sources, they're humble. They don't continually need to tell people how intelligent they are. Alright. Well, I don't know if I've ever I I probably snarkily called myself smart on air, but I know I'm dumb.
So alright. They take a moment to think about a novel question instead of instantly blurting out an answer. Yeah. Yeah. Back to, again, Facebook comments.
Well, don't just fire off the first thing that comes to mind. You gotta think these things out. They're well spoken. Well, you know that's not me. Fumbling over words every single day.
Great storytellers. Well, I don't know. I don't know. It depends if you like this show. I try to tell stories.
I don't know if I'm good at it but I yap away. So all right, this made me feel a little bit less dumb. Hope it made you feel a little bit less dumb. If I made you feel dumb, I'm sorry. Not, not trying to make you feel dumb?
I didn't know that it would do that. I've been avoiding this story, like, all morning. But since East Idaho News posted about it, might as well dive in. Right? Let's talk about Amazon and tariffs.
So I think it was yesterday or the day before I mentioned that people are starting to see line items on their Timu receipts about, you know, import charges, things like that. People are getting very upset about this. Why would you be upset if Amazon shows you the amount of the price increase to the items you're looking at due to tariffs. I mean, that's just cost transparency. Right?
There's so much debate going on from both sides about what these tariffs are going to do to affect the average person. So I I don't personally see anything wrong with Amazon or any other company going, hey. Here's why the price went up and it went up this much. You know what? At least they're showing you.
It's like, you know what? Them concert tickets, they have all the miscellaneous fees that you have no idea what they're going toward. Wouldn't you rather know what those fees are for? You know, they don't print out concert tickets anymore. Buying concert tickets is certainly not convenient, so convenience fee is kind of funny.
Anyway, I I just think that this just helps keep all of this information transparent so people know what's going on. But apparently, this is a real big deal. The White House calling this report that Amazon's gonna do this a hostile action. Alright. Settle down.
A hostile action. It's putting information on a website. Price information. I don't know if I'd consider it hostile myself. That seems, kinda kinda outlandish.
Alright. Here we go. Let's pick up the phone on this one. Let's have fun. K, Bear, you're live on hey.
You're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this? Oh, my name is Jake. Jake, what's up, dude?
I just was listening to you talk about the the fees on Amazon receipts. Mhmm. I just wanted to call and tell you you haven't seen the same kind of thing happen here in Arco. I've been seeing, like, for the fees on eggs. Oh, they're, like, actually posting, information about the prices at the, grocery store?
Or Well, yeah. Well, here at least at this one restaurant, the pickle place Oh. That says in there, there's there's a, a sign that says, hey. Look. Anything that uses the eggs costs more, and here's the reason.
Yeah. I have seen some, some grocery stores, you know, that had little signs up about eggs, but, nothing quite as, I guess, widespread as what it looks like Amazon and Timu are supposedly going to be doing. I don't I don't know. The it's so so far just a report that Amazon is doing this, but there are, like, countless news articles about it this morning, so I I just couldn't avoid it any further. Figured I'd get the word out to people.
Keep it keep an eye on your Amazon receipts. You know, I don't I don't know if they're going to be doing it on, like, the, the item pages or what. Again, just a report, but all of the news organizations are talking about it. So Oh, well, of course, they're anyways, Anyways, that's all I wanted to tell you, Vic. Have a good day.
Hey. You too, man. Peace. K. K.
Bye. Yeah. And, I mean, the the egg deal, that's completely separate from any of this stuff unless we're talking, like, importing eggs, which I haven't heard much about that. I I don't know. But, anyway, if there are items you need to get, you might wanna buy them now, like, ASAP because we just don't know what's gonna happen.
Maybe this is a drive to, increase consumer spending, make people paranoid the price of everything's gonna go up. And, so people just start buying crap, a lot of which they probably don't need. Anyway, go read the article at eastidahonews.com. There's quite the discussion going on in the comments, on their Facebook page. So, you know, it's always interesting to, see what people are thinking about these kind of things.
Again, I I don't see any problem in you know, if I was running a business and I had to raise my price, I'd like to put the blame on somebody. You know? It makes people it might make people feel a little bit better. Like, because everybody's, you know, seen price increases over the last many years and can only speculate who to blame. Alright.
Let's dig into some very important animal news. You know, we gotta keep this program serious. Night vision camera captures beaver farting. Yeah. This was at a wildlife center in The UK.
Alright. Hold on. We we've gotta hear this. Right? I'm not seeing any audio.
Well, I guess the kids We put camera traps there to track the beaver activity. Oh, here we go. We got loads of really great stuff. So we got the beavers building their dams. We caught them grooming, feeding, swimming.
But one that did stand out and made everyone in the office laugh was the beaver breaking wind. And there is actually a really good reason Oh, yeah. That they did this. And it's actually because beavers have, near their tail, they have glands that can, secrete this, this oil called castoreum and that actually helps them to mark their territory. So we think what the beaver was doing in the video is actually marking its territory and communicating to any other beavers out there that actually, this is my patch.
It was unexpected beaver. There you go. Beaver farting. The beavers actually went extinct in The UK. So is that what Jade's doing when he comes in here and farts it up?
Trying to mark his territory? Listen, buddy. I knew I know you were here first. K? But this is my house.
My house. In other animal news, there was a couple children chased by a coyote near White Rock Lake in Dallas, Texas. Just wanna throw that out there for everybody who made fun of me for saying, you know, a coyote stalked me when I was hiking up a hill in Boise. And I was like, that coyote's gonna attack. No.
No. They don't attack people. Just children. Right? Oh, they put up signs, be aware.
Coyote presence elevated. Gotta be careful out there. Wild dogs. So beaver farts and wild dogs attacking people. There's your, animal kingdom news.
Well, good morning, Peaches. Good morning. What's up? I came in here to ask, should we add this to the concert calendar? It's a band name that I'm thinking, like, maybe not.
Yeah. Especially with the tour name. Yeah. I'd probably leave it off. You know?
I if it was I don't know. There's not a lot of massive bands with names that are iffy. So yeah. I mean, it's a show some people would wanna see. I saw that band open for TOOL, and, I thought they were good.
Okay. But, yeah. You know how our event calendar works. Sometimes certain flyers or band names just ain't gonna fly in East Idaho. Yeah.
So yeah. Alright. Any other show announcements that you've spotted today? Shoot. There was one in Salt Lake City that was, like, kinda iffy or kinda, I mean.
Oh, kinda meh? Kinda meh. A kind of meh show. Let me see here. Might be one of our listeners very favorite bands.
Oh, yeah. Instead of Hailstorm, we got Alestorm. Oh, Alestorm. With glory hammer and glyph. Boy, if you're ready to go, here's some pirate metal.
There you go. Get yourself a big beer and party with Hailstorm. Because I know Hailstorm also announced the tour. Yeah. Not coming anywhere close, unfortunately.
Yeah. Now, well, they are gonna be coming with, Volbeat to Salt Lake. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Sorry.
I don't pay attention to the openers. Oh, wait. I go for the whole show. Yeah. It's always weird to me when people, don't wanna see the whole show.
You paid for it. Tom Segura even. Kirk Fox had barely anybody paying attention. You know, the only time I'll leave is if the show's just not going great. Right.
You know, like, when we saw Fall Out Boy with Bring Me the Horizon. After Bring Me the Horizon, Fall Out Boy was just kinda boring. There was also show Primus with Coheed and Cambria then Gorilla Toss opened up for them. I I could have missed Gorilla Toss to be quite honest with you. Yeah.
I wasn't a big Gorilla Toss fan, but I was glad I was there Me too. To to see him play. To experience and be like, okay. I I I like the recordings more. And, you know, sometimes if I'm just not really into a band, if, you know, we're just kinda there, you know, if I gotta get up early, I'll I'll bail.
But, yeah, if I'm paying, I'm paying? Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna be there the whole time, every second. Yeah.
Because, shows ain't getting any cheaper, Peaches. No. Not at all. No. So anyhow, anything else exciting going on?
I've just been, you know, hardcore multitasking. I got nominated for the ice bucket challenge, so I'm gonna nominate you. And, you're looking to do do the ice bucket challenge. Yeah. You are.
I'm too old. You're not too old at all. Stop it. I'm too old. No.
You can come up with excuses. That's why I didn't invite you Saturday because I knew you'd come up with some dumb excuse. I gotta take my dentures out, and I'm already relaxing. Hey. You should always give it a try because I would have come out that night.
I would have. I, you know, looked around to see if anybody had a spare ticket. No. I have a strike one policy. Once you strike one, you're out.
Yeah. See? It's not gonna do you much good in life, peaches. You gotta keep trying. My friend Jose is already trying to back out of the Idaho trip and I was like, well, if you back out and I see you go somewhere this summer, somewhere else this summer, I'm just gonna block you completely.
Okay. Well, these guys are from what? LA? Yeah. Okay.
I I hate to break it to you, but Idaho might not be the most exciting vacation destination. Matt and Christian were very excited. Same with Jose. Jose just all of a sudden, like, oh, I can't afford it. My job ends in two months.
This type of thing. That sounds like a good excuse. You know? I ain't planning any vacations because I ain't got no money. Yeah.
But when you live off of, like, your dad's money and Oh. That type of thing. Okay. Your dad owns the the biggest trucking company in Texas. So okay.
So he's gonna be okay. Condo in Downtown LA and Okay. Yeah. See, my family are all dead. So I ain't got no money coming my way.
Alright? I'm on my own peaches on this one. No mommy or daddy giving me a dollar. Not a single dollar. No.
You're the dad giving the kids money. Exactly. So, hopefully, for their sake, I somehow live a long life so they can keep getting my big dollars. Yeah. Sorry, kids.
Sorry that I don't make the big bucks. Victor Stern. Victor Stern. Gotta make the hundred million a year. Yeah.
They'll replace him with, you know, Joe Rogan or something like that. You think so? Mhmm. But he's already, like, close to Howard's age. I feel like Well, and he I mean, he's, like, close, but he's, like, twenty years behind and still it's, like, I don't even know if it's twenty years.
Well, and he's making the same kind of money as Howard. So I I think that they'll just eat that money. They'll, you know, reinvest it into other things and, you know, they'll just make their stockholders happy. I don't think anybody's gonna in gonna be making Howard Stern money in radio ever again. You know?
Prop yeah. There's a fourteen year age difference. Joe Rogan's sixty seven. Howard's seventy one. Well, and Joe Rogan sits at home in Texas and does his show.
Yeah. He doesn't wanna go to New York. Why would yeah. Why would you wanna you know? He lives in, like, you know, a massive mansion compound.
You can't do that in New York. But I think also, like, they don't all have to be in New York now. I think they all do their shows separately. Look look at Jose Brinkin. He does his in Syl Beach, California.
That's true. That's true. But, I think you do have to be in an area where there's a SiriusXM office, you know, because unless you're somebody they don't care about. There has to be some some office in Texas. One hundred percent.
You think so? Oh, yeah. Let's find out. SiriusXM office locations. And Tyson radio here.
Yeah. I'm curious. Oh, they do have, they do have something in Texas. Corpus Christi and Houston and San Antonio and Dallas. Speaking of.
So, jeez. They got a lot of different places where they have offices. What about Austin? Wow. Nope.
No Austin. Oh, that's that's where Joe's at. Yeah. Yeah, dude. I I don't think anybody's ever gonna be making a hundred million a year in radio ever again.
Phil Peaches makes it big time. Yeah. Peaches gonna make the big time. I know. I wish you luck.
I wish you luck. Can you imagine? I can imagine, but I also live in a world of reality. I'd be like, alright, Victor. Let's go.
Let's go elsewhere. Let's go to the streets next to him and make the money. Dude, I mean, if somebody offered me 1,000,000, see y'all later. Right. You know, peace.
Because even if it was one of those terrible companies that, fires people after a year or two, Alright. I've I've built up a little bit of a savings Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I could buy.
Mhmm. Well, that'd be fine. Just find the dirt plate dirt cheapest place possible to rent and, just bank that money. Well, buy, like, one thing that you really want. Like, have the Dolce and Gabbana refrigerator and that's it.
That's it. Cruddy studio apartment with the world's nicest fridge. You've seen those meth houses with, like, the nice car outside? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. That's in the news all the time. Right. Yeah. It's how the cops get those sports cars that they slap the police logos on and drive around and show off.
Check it out. Seize this. We gotta ask Lieutenant Crane if he has one of those personally. A personal vehicle that he sees? I I don't think that's how it works, Peaches.
Maybe that's like a a scandal we uncover from lieutenant Crane. Oh, scandal. Scandalous. Alright. Anyway, I was just talking to a listener about, ACDC, hearing a lot of mixed feedback on the Vegas show.
Sounds like if you were up in the seats, didn't sound very good. The sound was decent at the Rose Bowl show. There was not not just the Vegas show, but also Minneapolis and Texas also had some sound issues. So I don't know if their sound guy just sucks or or, these stadiums just suck for these types types of shows? Well, I've been to some big venues where it just doesn't sound good.
You know? I've some venues just don't have good sound. You know? That's why I love the arena here. It's it's awesome.
Sounds so good. Yeah. Yeah. Even the Portniff. Portniv sounds good too.
You know, I've been to USANA before and had it sound bad. So I I think SoundMan and distance too. If you're far away from the PA, unless they have extra speakers, You know, you're just kinda screwed. There were speakers everywhere at the Rose Bowl. Yeah.
And you would think there would be in Vegas too. So That's a modern stadium, though. Like, the Rose Bowl's from nineteen twenty something. Yeah. Very old.
Very old. The Allegiant Stadium is from, like, 2021, '20 '20, maybe, I think. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty new.
Yeah. Well, the reason I brought up ACDC is because I was gonna play them. Amy Lee, not afraid to die, apparently. Well, let's talk about death. It's a fun topic, ain't it?
Alright. We've actually discussed the topic of selfies at funerals before. If it was my funeral and I had an open casket funeral, I just wanna let you know I'd be totally fine with selfies. K? That's just me.
Other people, they don't find it in good taste. K? Say you're visiting, you know, Saint Peter's Basilica so you can say goodbye to the Pope. I would imagine people are gonna get mad if you're taking selfies and they are getting mad about people doing this because, tens of thousands of people are showing up and a lot of people are taking selfies and uploading them to social media. You gotta lay this down before your funeral.
K? You gotta let people know whether it's okay or not. Now, I don't think I'd wanna have an open casket funeral anyway just because it's, weird to me. Bill Burr had a great bit about it on his latest special. Like what?
I believed you. Yeah. Nobody's gonna walk in be like open it up. Open it up and let me see. It is kind of weird though.
I mean, it gives you some closure, I guess. I've never felt like bad after well, okay. You feel bad at funerals but I've, you know, having an open casket didn't make it worse. It was just kind of weird because, you know, they put put the makeup on them and stuff and, alright. If you've never been to an open casket funeral, you don't know what I'm talking about.
You know, people look kinda weird in that state. They don't look like themselves. It's kind of creepy but anyway, you have my permission if I do end up having open casket to take selfies. Okay? It's fine with me but you gotta think about where you're gonna do this.
K? And, I'll make sure to tell my my, family I okayed this so none of them get mad, but it's a it's a touchy situation. K? You don't wanna upset people who are in mourning. So, yeah.
When it's somebody of that, magnitude, that kind of a world figure, I guarantee you're gonna make somebody mad. Just just saying. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show.
