The Viktor Wilt Show

Hello. Welcome to the program. It's the Viktor Wilt Show. It's Monday. Hi.

Hope you had a good weekend. Mine was pretty good. Pretty good. Win by too quick. It always does, but watched some good horror movies, watched some X Files for the most part.

Relaxed. Not too shabby. It just, yeah, it goes by way too quickly. Oh, well. Oh, well, The next one will be here before we know it.

Right? Mhmm. Alright. And, so far, kinda quiet on the old news front. Started digging, seeing what things people are talking about online.

I don't know. Apparently, tattoo regret's a problem for Gen Z. Well, get your tattoos in places you can cover them up then. It mainly seems to be coming down to gen z brides who are now lasering off their tattoos. So they have good, wedding photos.

Here's what you do. Photoshop. Yeah. If you're that worried about it, the actual photos, just Photoshop the tattoo out. I mean, you could cover it with makeup or something, but laser treatment, I don't know.

To me, that seems kinda kinda wild if it's just a wedding photo that's so important to you. I don't know. I mean, I've got tattoos from when I was 18, and I'd probably get different tattoos now, I guess, because I'm much older and my brain works in a different way, but I'm still fine with them. But they are in spots where I can just cover them up. So, yeah, works out fine.

Soon as I get the dough, then I'll get stupid tattoos on my forearms. Yeah. Too much money, though. Too much money for me right now. Gotta do more of a a catching up than continued spending.

Alright. So, yeah, settle down, Gen z. Just Photoshop or makeup. I mean, doesn't laser tattoo removal leave marks as well that would show up in a photo? I've never had a tattoo lasered off, so I don't know.

But I would just, assume laser would leave some type of a mark. And, also, how early prior to your wedding would you have to start lasering off tattoos? And that's gotta be really expensive as well, I would imagine. Yeah. Photoshop people.

I mean, how do you think everybody, looks so wonderful in those magazines and Internet photos? Photoshop. You can even probably use a filter on your phone nowadays. Remove tattoo. You don't even have to know how to use Photoshop anymore.

Just pull the image up in Photoshop, use the AI feature, remove tattoo. It would do it. Oh, well. Good morning. Welcome to the show.

I'm sure there is more to talk about than, gen Z tattoos. I'm fairly confident I'll be able to find better content than that, but, you know, I haven't been here very long. Cut me a little bit slack. Already had a nice hefty instant coffee shooter, not quite doing what I needed to this morning. Also, the internet not cooperating with me either.

Shouldn't be this hard to find content on a Monday morning. Very disappointing here. Toxic self care? Sure. Sure.

We might as well take a look at this because I ain't got nothing else yet. People on Reddit asked what's a popular self care trend that's actually toxic. Alright. Let's see if I agree with these. Looking after yourself first, but to the point of narcissism.

If I'm having a crappy day, 9 times out of 10, doing something nice for someone else leaves me feeling better and distracts me from what's sad. Yeah. I I suppose that sounds accurate. I expected something else, I guess, for the most popular response on here, but I think, like I said last week, Reddit doesn't seem to actually be sorting things properly right now. I think they got some issues going on in their system.

Posting every detail of your life online. Is that considered popular self care? I I don't think it is. I mean, I'm sure that's not good for you, but I don't think anyone goes, yeah. I'm gonna post every aspect of my day, and it's gonna make me feel great.

This is my self care treatment. Alright. This is how it tends to go with these Internet questions, Responses that don't actually make sense. Okay. The best cleanse is to drink more water.

K. Well, they didn't say which type of cleanse would be a toxic cleanse. That's what you wanna throw out there. Like, oh, if all you eat is, broth, if that's all you consume, broth and lemon juice, it's probably not good. Not hydro homie time.

Come on. We get it. Are any of these actually self care? Believing that the world should adapt to you rather than the other way around. That doesn't sound like self care.

Like, self care would be I don't know. Take myself to the spa or something, or I go for a walk in the woods. Let's see too much retail therapy. All right. I guess retail therapy, some people could consider that self care, but I think as most people know, buying stuff is not gonna make you feel great.

You know, you get a little, little kick out of it. Get a little bit of a boost, Little bit of a a jolt sometimes buying some cool stuff, but it fades fast. So alright. This one, I think could be considered self care that is toxic if you you just buy stuff to try to make yourself feel better. Yeah.

You're you're just gonna end up, with no money. I'm not saying don't treat yourself. Do it sometimes, but don't overdo it. Alright? Let's see.

Avoiding difficult conversations in the name of positive vibe. What does that have to do with self care? Radical selfishness to the point that you don't think you should ever have to compromise. Again, I don't think any of this is self care. Well, as is typical, another failure of a thread here.

I mean, it's not that there isn't good advice in this thread. It just doesn't appear to have anything to do with self care, but that that's the Internet for you. Found some people talking about the Depot in salt lake and how they feel that the shows have been oversold for the last little while here. And the last time I was at the depot was the electric call boy show, and I just thought, okay. This is what a sold out show is like because it was insanely packed.

And as a short guy, I had difficulty without just trying to mow my way up to the front of the crowd, being able to sort of be comfortable and be able to see everything. My homie, Steve and I went upstairs and they have all this VIP area up there that it wasn't sold. So you have this huge, just empty section, you know, and if you even got close to it, security starts yelling at you. And then they had areas all around the sides where, you know, you could stand up on top, but the way it was designed, I mean, you couldn't see anything. It was just a spot to stand and listen to music and look at the wall.

So yeah. I guess this is an actual problem. I I don't know at that particular venue if even, you know, cutting down the crowd size, I mean, it would help some for for comfort reasons because it gets really hot in there. It's not one of my favorite venues. That's for sure.

I'm always bummed when a cool band's gonna be at the depot. But, yeah, I think they need, like, a total reshaping of that upstairs area, and I I don't know how you do that. But, yeah, it's just not a not a wonderful place to see shows and yet the post I was reading said people were, like, passing out. You know, the venue was giving away free. What?

Do they not have an AC system? If you're running a small venue, gotta have some airflow going in there. Reminds me of the Roach back in the day. The Roach motel. It would get very hot in there.

Love that venue. But, man, it would be extremely hot. And I've no AC in that place. It's a good thing it's under the, overpass or Yeah. I I think lots of people would have been killing over there, so I don't know.

Just be aware that, you're booking at the depot. I don't know. At least according to people in the Salt Lake subreddit, kind of becoming an ongoing issue of the place being way too packed. Yeah. There are some great venues in Salt Lake.

I I think my favorite right now is, the complex. It's a nice size. It's not massive. So no matter where you're at in there, you can see, well, they don't seem to oversell it at at least as far as I can recall. I don't remember being at a show and being like, okay.

I gotta get out of here. But yeah. I I think it's just the nature of how the depot is shaped. But it's I've had a lot of great times there. It's just not my favorite.

It's not anywhere on the list of even possible favorites. So good luck out there. Got some good shows coming up. Check out all of them at the riverbendmediagroup.com website on our new event calendar there. You can sort it by concert slash rock if you wanna get rid of all of the other things that pop up on there.

So 9 inch nails scoring the upcoming 3rd Tron movie, Tron eras. Yeah. Pretty cool. I don't think I've actually seen the other Tron movies, but maybe that would be a good excuse to check them out and then check out the new one. Because Trent does a great job scoring movies that, movie, the social network, you you know, had a had a nice score.

And then I think last week I said that Trent scored the movie sing. I was thinking of soul soul, which is a, you know, it's a good animated film and, killed it on the old score for that movie. So, yeah, that's pretty cool. I have no idea when this is coming out or anything like that, but, you know, any any time you're seeing Trent Reznor involved in something, it's got the potential to be really good. Now above anything else, I wish we could just get some new 9 inch nails music, but that that that's fine.

You know, he's in demand. It's kinda like Peter Jackson. You know, I'd love him to make, good old horror comedy. But he's gotta do Paul McCartney's bidding. Alright?

Whatever the Beatles need, prioritized over new comedy horror movies for us old school Peter Jackson fans. So good on Trent. I'm sure, I'm sure the payday for scoring a Disney movie is better than putting out a 9 inch nails album. I'm I'm just pretty sure of that. So congrats to Trent.

You know, maybe he'll win another Oscar. Anyhow? Alright. We've just about made it through an hour. Alright.

We're we're doing good. We're doing good here. We're making it through the day. Content wise, we're not doing so wonderful on the show, but that's alright. It's Monday.

You know, I do this thing live, so sometimes it's better than others. Alright. The warning at the beginning of this article says contains medical details that readers may find distressing, and I haven't read all of it. So I hope this doesn't get too distressing for you. I'll I'll try to, you know, dance around it nice and safely here.

Keep it fairly tame. I just wanna give you a little bit of advice on unnecessary medical procedures. K? The article from the BBC titled, I had surgery to lengthen my legs, and then it went horribly wrong. Yet, you don't need to try to lengthen your legs.

K. Just go ahead and embrace who you are. The potential for this to go wrong just seems like common sense to me, but let's dive in. Alright. Elaine Foo's legs are streaked with thick purple scars, each one a reminder of a leg lengthening procedure, which went badly wrong.

So since 2016, the 49 year old has had 5 surgical procedures and 3 bone grafts, exhausted her life savings, and brought legal action against her surgeon, which was finally settled in July with no admission of liability. Alright. Let's see. What happened to her? At one point, she had a metal nail break through a bone.

And on another occasion, she said her legs felt like they were being roasted from the inside. Oh, that sounds wonderful. I'm a little bit taller. Feels like my insides are constantly on fire, but I'm a few inches taller. Yeah.

I guess Elaine has always hated her height. She said at 12, she was taller than most other girls, but by 14, she was suddenly the short girl. Everybody else got, you know, a little bit of, that teenage height boost going on, but not her. And, apparently, she got pretty obsessed with this. So she read this article about a clinic where people were having surgery to make their legs longer.

The piece contained grisly details of medieval looking leg cages and rampant infection. It sounded nightmarish but left Elaine intrigued. Alright. If you're reading a news article about, experimental surgeries containing grizzly details of medieval looking leg cages and rampant infection, That should turn you off from considering the procedure, but not Elaine. No.

She went for it. And now how much did she did she grow? How does it work here? Alright. Metal rods gradually extend to increase their length and pull the 2 halves of bone apart, Oh, and then the broken bone should gradually heal back together.

Takes months. So several times a day, she carried out an uncomfortable regimen, rotating her legs to trigger the rod's ratchet mechanism. This is what makes the nail lengthen and legs grow. But then all of a sudden, she heard what sounded like a Kit Kat crunch followed by severe pic It said it was gonna break your bones, so they'd have to grow back together. The nail on her left leg had broken through her femur.

So far, not super distressing to me because I would never in any situation consider this type of procedure. And I'm I'm, you know, not a tall guy here. Holy cow. Wow. So, from 2017 to 2020, she hid from the world.

Was single, unemployed, penniless, and disabled, all because she wanted to be a little bit taller. Just embrace it. Nothing wrong with being short. Alright? It's not a big deal.

Holy cow. Much better things you could spend your money on. You could get yourself some stilts. Stilts. They'll make you a little bit taller.

How about shoes with big soles? You know? Well, I don't know. Some people, I guess, are not as afraid of medical procedures as me. Yikes.

Yeah. Embrace being short. Embrace your your natural, body if you can. If you've got a major, you know, issue that needs fixed, sure. But just being a little bit taller, talk to peaches about it.

There's a lot of issues that come with being really tall. Alright? I'm sure Peaches, at times, wishes he wasn't so tall. I don't think he's gonna hack his knees off though to make himself a little bit shorter. Hey.

What's up? It's Victor Wilt. Howdy. Appreciate your company. Thank you for tuning in.

Hope you're doing good so far. We're we're making progress on knocking this day down. Alright. This guy really hate Priuses, or is he just crazy? Let's see.

La Porte County, Indiana. County police arrested a man who was found punching a Toyota Prius while chasing it down the road. 42 year old Marshall Guthrie, the man taking swings at the Prius about 2 PM on Sunday. Okay. So cops got a call of a reckless driver, and, they found a 2022 Dodge pickup truck in a ditch still running and still in gear.

And down the road, they found Guthrie attacking the Prius. Now, the driver of the Prius said he had picked up Guthrie who was walking along the road. I'm guessing, Guthrie was driving this truck. Suddenly, Guthrie reached into the center console, grabbed a package of fishing hooks, a tape measure, and a pair of glasses, and then jumped out of the Prius. And then, I guess, just started chasing the Prius and punching it.

Looks like they found a bunch of drugs in Guthrie's backpack. Might explain the punching the Prius. I just figured maybe he had recently watched the original Texas chainsaw massacre, and he just got a little bit too excited with that scene with, what do they call that guy, Choptop, chasing the van down the road, smacking the side, marking it. No. I think 3 was, just loaded.

Nothing against a Prius. A lot of people don't like Priuses. A lot of people very, very particular about vehicles in general. I'm not gonna get into the whole article, but I saw another, post on a Idaho news talk station where this host, he was just ripping into electric vehicle charging stations. Like, I mean, this is a full page article here.

I don't know. He must have those bosses that require a blog post every day and just had to come up with something. I've never seen anybody park charge in their vehicle. Alright, dude. You you be you.

You rant. It was a very popular article online. A lot of people agree with them. They don't like those electric vehicles. I don't know.

It's just a a weird one to me that people would get so worked up about. It's like gas vehicles are still everywhere, so don't think you have to worry about your gas vehicle getting taken away. But I don't know. I don't know. People just gotta be mad.

Just gotta be mad. I'll bet there are some of you around here who wish that your landlord was required to make sure things like AC are provided to you. It can get a little bit hot around here. I mean, it's been pretty decent last few days, but we had some some pretty brutal days where we were up in those triple digits. And if you don't have AC, man, it it can be brutal.

But there are places where you could just straight up die if you don't have AC. Places like Phoenix and, yeah, I saw an article pop up where an apartment complex was ordered by a judge to pay for tenants to live somewhere else until they get the AC working. Yeah. I've lived in places without AC and it was not cool. Literally.

You know? It was not cool at all. It was hot. Sucked. Or if you got a vehicle with no AC.

You know, some people are not, I guess, as spoiled as me. I've I've got friends who will drive around with their windows down. I'm like, bro, come on. Just roll the windows up and use the AC. Come on.

AC is great. We're living in 20 24. Embrace it. Use the technology. But, yeah, it's good to see that in places like Phoenix, they do care about the populace enough that they don't want them to die from the extreme temperatures that you face living in that type of location.

Brutal. Brutal. So, anyway, I don't know what kind of leverage you can use on your landlord with this article, but you you might be able to pull it off. You're gonna have to wait for a hotter day, though. I mean, today, we're only looking at a high of, like, 85 or something.

It's supposed to be pretty nice for the next few days. I hope it can just kinda stay this way moving forward. If we could stay back out of the nineties, that would be great. I'm certainly enjoying things as far as yard work and stuff goes much better. Mowing my lawn the other night was not brutal.

Like, the last few times I did a little bit of yard work. So, yeah, still, even if we're only in the eighties, make sure you're, taking care of yourself there if you're working outside. Lots of fluids. Use that sunscreen because even if it's only in the eighties, you could still mess yourself up pretty pretty severely. Alright.

I'm gonna get ready for Freak News. Be back with that in a few. And, yeah. Y'all just hang on. Freak news, powered by Grease Monkey, voted Idaho's best oil change.

Let's roll. Alright. The toilet bowl has collapsed, say feature or was a feature at Lake Powell. What did they say? 190000000yearold sandstonefeature.

If you didn't get to see it, there are photos online. I don't know. They, they called it a double arch from the, you know, proper angle. I guess it could kinda look like you were looking down into or looking up out of a toilet, why. Just wanna remind people to, be careful out when you know, when boating and things like that.

I don't know. Maybe somebody smashed into the wall, weakened things, or it could just be Lake Powell's water level has been up and down and up and down. And I would imagine that, you know, some of these climate related things happening in that region. Could have had an impact on it. But, again, I I don't know.

Just wanna let you know if you were planning on taking a houseboat out and checking out the toilet bowl. Sorry. Sorry. It's gone. Let's see.

Some other local ish news. I know Lake Powell's pretty far away from here. But, anyway, this is Idaho news. 2 hospitalized after trucks hauling molasses and manure collide near Twin Falls. You know, this was, about 2 PM on well, what day was this?

Doesn't say, But, anyhow, yeah. Glad everybody appears to be doing all right. You know, there there were some people, transported to at local hospital, but, appear it appears that, they're gonna be okay. As for the state of the roadway, sticky and stinky. Yeah.

The left left lane eastbound on I eighty four blocked for about 4 and a half hours the other day. Oh, that sounds fun. Get stuck in the Magic Valley because the road's covered in sticky dookie for, like, 5 hours. Oh, it's terrible. What else do we got going on here?

Lightning struck a plane leaving the Salt Lake City Airport. This flight was headed to Vegas. Alright. So I'm just gonna have to say, I think, mother nature. Trying to send a message there.

How dare you go from Utah to evil Las Vegas? Anyway, if you're already in Salt Lake, just drive to Vegas. It's like like 5 hours. Why fly? If you have to get to the airport 2 hours early and then you have the actual flight and then you have to deal with getting off of the plane and getting a, you know, Uber and this and that from salt or from the, Vegas airport to wherever you're going.

Just drive. Just drive. If you've got more than one person, it's probably cheaper to drive as well. I don't know. I've never understood flying to Vegas.

Maybe from here. You know, you take a direct flight from Idaho Falls or Pokey to Vegas. Boom. Boom. Sure.

Because that's 8 hours of travel. Whittle it down to a couple, but not from salt lake. No. Gotta get to that airport way too early. Alright.

Speaking of there there's a lot of localized news here. There was a plane bound for Jackson Hole, but it had to be rerouted to Salt Lake because as they were getting close, the pilot's like, oh, I'm not qualified to land this plane. That's not what you wanna hear from your pilot. Alright? Especially when you're flying over mountain ranges, now in the middle of nowhere.

Why they didn't figure that out before the pilot left? I guess, Jackson, maybe they have, a difficult airport to land at or something because he landed in Salt Lake, but let's see. Perhaps not being qualified wasn't a formal statement as much as an expression that the captain didn't feel confident. No. I'm scared.

I'm scared. I'm gonna crash into the Tetons. Yeah. That's the type of thing that makes me not want to fly. There's there's a there's a lot of, dumb news relating to flights as of late, but everything's gonna be fine with flights moving forward.

It's all good. It's all good. Let's talk about our podcasts for a minute. If you are unaware, we've got podcasts galore here at Riverbend Media Group. One of which is my show on demand.

You can listen to it anytime, anywhere, worldwide. Just go anywhere podcasts can be found or go to riverbendmediagroup.com. Yeah. You can find it on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, a whole bunch of other podcast sites. Make sure to give me a follow.

You know, give it a a rating. Give me them 5 star ratings. And, check out Peach's podcast. Check out the Riverbend Awareness Project podcast. This one's great for the community talking about issues like this month, National Wellness Month.

You know, wellness not about how you look, but how you feel. How to, keep yourself in balance and things. Seven habits to help with your wellness. Community, nutrition, supplements, silence, water, exercise, and sleep. I should probably give that one a listen myself.

I listen to a good chunk of it, but need to finish it up. Peach is in the house. What's up, Peach? Hey. Good morning.

Morning. Are you feeling well today? Why? No. Because I was talking about the new episode of the Riverbend Awareness Project podcast Oh, good for them.

About wellness. So I wanna make sure you're doing well, Peaches. I need to listen to them. You I was just saying I probably should as well. Lots of great tips for wellness to keep yourself in a good mental state, which is important as a human being.

So I just did that yoga mission on GTA 5. My chakras are aligned. Very nice. You must be further than me in the game then. I haven't gotten to that mission yet.

It's very early on. You must barely play. You and Josh must barely play. Yeah. I I don't get a lot of, gaming time in.

I just got to where, Trevor shows up, where you you go to, Salton Sea Yeah. And you're playing as Trevor. I just did the, the hangar mission. Trevor Phillips Industries. That's right.

So that's where I'm at in that game. Meet mister Cheng? Not yet. Oh. Not yet.

I was just, you know, causing mayhem, Trevor Mayhem. Can't get into a lot of the details of what that guy's under. Oh, but see, like, you're you're not doing the missions. You're just free roaming and doing fun rock star stuff. No.

I'm I'm doing the missions. Yeah. Because I'm doing mission after mission after mission. I'm just going through the campaign. Yeah.

That that's what I've been doing too for the most part. But, I did the first big heist, and then you jump over to Trevor seeing it in the news. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So I'm right there.

You wanna explain what he's doing when he's, when he sees the news? No. No. But it does make me laugh every time I play that game that that's right what it cuts to. That's one of the best introductions for any character ever.

Oh, absolutely. That game is so good. It's just so fun. I've been having a blast playing it. That's for sure.

Yeah. Yeah. It's been fun revisiting it, doing all the fun stuff all over again. I think that playing video games are good for mental wellness, as a matter of fact, myself. But the yoga mission's quite annoying.

It's I I'm not a fan of the yoga mission. It's it's pretty silly, kinda pointless, but there's a number of weird missions in that game. There's a For sure. There's a few pieces of dialogue from Fabian that I wish we could add to Caberry imaging. There's a lot of, pieces of dialogue in that game that would be fun for Caberry imaging.

The way that he's like, Alaino yeah. I can't say. Yeah. Yeah. But probably a good idea, Peaches.

Anyway, check out all our podcasts. Like I said, check out Peaches. Give them a follow. Give them a rating. Give them a 5 star rating.

And, we've we gotta get our other podcasts launched too. I know we're slacking. Waiting for you to, you know, hurry up on that. I know. Well, we've been working on all this other stuff.

It's all my fault. It's all my fault. It is. And I also, I just got an email this morning, we're gonna be adding on a quite, a few more ticket giveaways to our audience. Oh.

Did we finally get some information back on one that I No. Not that one, but, 3 other shows. Well, that's great, but Not 4 other shows. Not the one we wanted. There was there was, There's kinda only one that's important for us to get dealt with right now.

So Yeah. Yeah. Alright. We're we're the just the month of October is about to be extremely busy. Alright.

Well, great. Listeners who like free tickets, you're gonna be very excited moving forward. Hopefully, within the next few days, we'll be announcing a giveaway to be doing, like, immediately. So stay tuned. Do me a favor.

If you ever see people from other places complaining about their local rock station, Let them know they can get the free k Bear one zero one app and listen to us worldwide. I was looking for content and saw somebody post. Hey. I never hear ghost on Sirius XM. What should I do?

Which channel plays ghost? It's like, well, rather than waste your time with that and pay for a subscription, not getting to hear the bands you wanna hear, get the free k Bear 101 app. We play tons of ghost, not to mention all kinds of other bands that my homies at SiriusXM just don't play. Why don't they? I don't know.

And I even pester them. I try to give them good advice. Took years to get them to play Electric Call Boy, and now I think they're really pummeling that, which, good. I want electric call boy to get the attention. But still, why wait around on SiriusXM?

We play all the good stuff right here. Come on. So, yeah, feel free to advocate for us if you see people complaining about, rock radio. It it happens. I see these posts all the time, and I don't generally chime in myself because the complaints are on radio station Facebook pages that, my friends work at.

So I can't be the guy to jump in and be like, don't listen to my friend's radio station even though we're way better. Need the army of listeners to do that kind of stuff for us. But Yeah. You know, if you're listening to this show on demand, you don't get the musical end of things, but we play lots of really good music on k Bear like Ghost. You feeling like a Monday, is it not?

Mhmm. Oh, yeah. Probably because it is. Alright. I don't recommend this, and I have read about this before.

But apparently, it's becoming more of an issue. People walking into concert venues days before a show and burying their booths. Yeah. Over in San Francisco, they're calling out the community. Stop doing this.

Now you would think if you walk into a place and dig a hole, it would be pretty obvious that the hole has been dug. But I don't know. I've never buried booze at a show so that I could pull it back out and drink it when I got there. I get it. Drinks at shows are expensive, but still, I would assume the groundskeepers would be like, oh, look at that.

Fresh hole. And then they dig up the bottle of Jack Daniels and take it. So, anyway, try to not do that. K. Let's keep our concert grounds looking nice.

I guess you can't do that at an arena, only at outdoor shows. Part enough, you better be paying attention here. Never know what people are up to. Hopefully, the outdoor concert season's gonna end up, being alright. You know, we got all these wildfires burning.

I read that a few of the fires in the Pacific Northwestern looking like they're gonna continue to burn until the fall. That's wonderful. Oh, fantastic. You know, I I'd like to be able to go outside. I it has gotten better around here recently.

And I I don't seem to be as irritated by the smoking haze in the air, but just be cautious if you're out camping. Make sure to extinguish your fires, and, be responsible because, yeah, a lot of these fires are started by idiots. K? And as is usual at this time of year, most of the west is burning. So let's go ahead and, do what we can to prevent that, please.

I like my fresh air, you know? Come on. What you got, peaches? Well, I saw this question on AskReddit yesterday and I thought it was, pretty funny. Just reading the answers to it.

Mhmm. Which older names will not become popular again? I'm gonna go with with the obvious. The, Adolf, I would say. Yeah.

I don't think that name would be popular ever again. You know, I get I don't think it's been popular since that time. I think you're saying a lot about yourself if you're like, I've got the perfect name for my boy. Well, you'd be you'd be surprised on what people name their kids. Like, Ladasha, and there's literally a dash in the name.

That was a legitimate name that popped up. Now weird spellings is different than a name that's pretty much synonymous with one person. Or like Treyvion, but it's the the number 3. Like Yeah. I've seen some pretty weird ones recently.

You know, people, you gotta think about making things easy for your kids in school. It's like naming my kid Harry. So the name would be Harry Peach. I think that's pretty funny. That kid is gonna get bullied relentlessly throughout school.

How do you know? You don't see the name Harry too often anymore. It's just a weird name too. Harry? Yeah.

It is because hairy generally means, you know, covered with hair. Yeah. It is a weird one, but, still, I don't know. I think it would be pretty funny, Peaches. Good luck convincing a lady to name your child Harold Peach.

But Well, I gotta date a lady first. That's what I gotta do. Oh, yeah. Step 1. Step 1.

Peaches needs a date, everybody. Find a girl who's interested. That's number 1. I I don't know if I can say this top one. Let me see.

Pewbert? Yeah. There you go. Is that yeah. I guess that is a name.

It was. Wasn't it a cartoon? I don't I don't know. Oh, no. No.

It was, Pubert Adams. He was a character on the Adams family. That's right. The baby. Right?

The little baby. He had a mustache. Yeah. I I don't think that name's gonna make a resurgence anytime soon. Come on, Pewbert Peach.

Pewbert? Let's go with that, That's about p for short. That's about worse than Harry peach. Alright, peaches? Give that future lady a a a choice.

Pewbert or Harry for our first son? Yeah. That's the only two choices you get. Which one's she gonna go with? We'll we'll go with Harold, but we're gonna call him I don't know what, but not Harry.

Some guy said my great grandfather born in 1923 was named Elmo. It's now my middle name. I have never heard of another Elmo. I actually grew up with a with a with Elmo. Oh, really?

Yeah. There was there was no joke. It was they were named after the Sesame Street characters. Oh, man. So it's Elmo and Zoe.

I don't remember Zoe from Sesame Street. Zoe was like an orange Is that like the orange Elmo? Yeah. It was like a orange female. Girl Elmo?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

Elmo's not a good name for a kid. I just picture Elmo. Being a bright red annoying Elmo. There was the, you know, big toy, tickle me, Elmo. Of course.

I watched Elmo's world as a baby constantly. Yeah. You know that people are going to be, getting in this space bubble. Oh, Elmo. You like being tickled.

And Might as well drink it Pillsbury Doughboy. Yeah. Exactly. You know? You gotta keep people from messing with your kids.

Don't give them stupid names that encourage that. Oh, I can't say that one, I don't think. Let's go scroll down here. It's funny that these are real names, but you can't say that. Well, yeah.

I mean Let me see. The the boys one right there. Yeah. That's but that's a real name. It is a real name.

I've, you know, it's been a while since I've seen anybody with that name. But, yeah, I I get it. Even I'm uncomfortable saying that on air even though it's a real name. Ebenezer. Ebenezer.

That's a great name. That's a that's a nerdy name right there. It's kinda like Buster or Dexter. Yeah. We need to bring back Ebenezer.

That's a good it's a good tough name. Ebenezer. Yeah. Right. A tough name.

It is a tough name. It's tough. That's right. It's a tough name. Right?

My homeboy, Ebenezer. That's right. Would you mess with someone named Ebenezer? No. Oh, you'd bully them for sure.

I don't think you would because they are grouchy peaches. Ebenezer is you know, that's the name for a Scrooge, man. They ruin Christmas. Oh, there's also the name, Kermit. Kermit?

That's a horrible name for for anybody. That's an annoying frog. Yeah. That's an annoying frog? Kermit.

Don't name your kids after puppets, people. What what name do you see going extinct? I have a couple. I have, Carl. Carl, why do you think that's gonna go extinct?

Born at 30. Like, it's a very old name for a person. I could see that one coming back. Nah. It's a nice tough sounding name like Coneezer.

Or Carl. Earl Earl seems more like a a redneck name. Right. Oh, redneck names. Cletus, Curtis.

Nobody's naming their kids Cletus anymore. Cletus on GTA 5. He has a gun for shooting for shooting coyotes in the tires. I I did go through the mission with, Cletus at the hotel. So I I did play that one recently.

Cletus. And then Curtis I have an uncle Curtis who's who's dirty. Curtis sounds like a normal name to me. Cletus sounds like No. Curtis sounds like the most typical redneck name.

You think so? Oh, yeah. I don't know. To me, Cletus would be much more of a Cletus is much more of a redneck name, but Curtis is also right up there. Curtis.

I don't Or like Daryl or something like that. Daryl does sound kind of, redneck as well. What about, like, Ruth? Ruth? That sound like an old lady.

Yeah. Exactly. But there was a character in that show Ozark named Ruth. So I think that kinda changed my perspective a little bit where, okay, there could be young rednecks named Ruth. And then there's also, like, Pam and Fran.

Like, those names are I know you're not a big fan of those. Didn't you say it's, like, your grandma's name or something? No. My grandma's name was, Theresa. Theresa.

My other grandma was Doris, which is also another extinct name. Yeah. My mom is Karen. Yes. Karen.

And Karen might make a comeback eventually because it's a it's a pretty, common name, and it doesn't sound super old. I I think that I don't know. You still hear about Karens, but they're not as much of a thing now. Yeah. For the longest time, that was the biggest threat that that I think COVID happened.

Yeah. Or I think it was during COVID, wasn't it? When did Karens really blow up as a thing? Because Karen compilations started popping up and That might have been during COVID. Well, because I know I know it happened during COVID because there was also the there was the people that ran in the stores saying, I don't need a mask.

I have a medical condition. And then they would get kicked out Yeah. Or arrested and fun stuff. Karen's might have started before, but then they just got really out of hand during COVID. Yeah.

Like most people. Like most people. Yeah. Everybody at post 2020 has gone crazy. I hope that one of these days things get a little more back to normal.

It's just so exhausting. It's it's Blank. Definitely worthy of just it's definitely worth it just to get off social media altogether. Yeah. I mean It's your fault that I'm still on.

It's not my fault. It's It is your fault. It's sort of my fault. That's okay. Media director.

Make make more posts, peaches. Make posts. That's But then I just, you know, turn notifications off, and I don't go back on. Well, you you kinda gotta in case people are, chiming in with inappropriate response. Well, I'll see if there's moderation alerts popping up that'll delete them, but that's about it.

I mean, it everything goes in, waves. Right? The world will come back down eventually. I'm just oh, it's so tiring. I don't know how some people keep the energy up for their relentless complaining online.

I think once the old people die, it's gonna be a better world. You think so? Yeah. Because, like, that's that's who's causing most of the arguments online. It's like, oh, my granddaughter had a tough time at the water park and now my all my Facebook friends need to hear about it.

Yeah. But then each new generation has their own old people as, you know, some top off Are you next? I'm getting there. I'm getting there. I hope I'm not a cringey old person.

No. You're gonna be a cool grandpa. I hope so. Yeah. No.

You'll be you'll be a cool old guy. I I hope. I'm doing my best to try to try to stay mentally young, but it it's challenging, Peaches. I think the cringey old man is right down the hallway. That's right.

He is. He is. I just wanna remind you parents that it's okay if you can't understand what your kids are saying. Alright? Don't lose your minds about it.

I'm starting to see these articles pop up a lot. We talked about it recently. Gen alpha slang and people not having any idea what they're saying. I don't know what they're saying. We talked about this, like, 2 weeks ago.

Words like, giat, guyat. See, I don't even know how to say them, But apparently, some parents are losing their minds about this. We don't understand. They're talking in code. What are my kids up to?

Does this mean something terrible? No. They're just kids being weird. Like, the whole skibbity toilet thing. I don't think kids walking around saying skibbity even means anything.

I think they just say it because they think it's funny. And I had kids that were teenagers at one point. I guess my younger daughter's still a teenager. But, yeah, they got into watching anime, and they'd say all kinds of weird things that I had no clue what they're talking about. What was some of the slang that popped up when they were young?

Things like, shipping. You know? Oh, yeah. Who would you like to see hooked up? I ship them.

Gotta be careful saying the word ship on the radio. I want somebody thinking I said something else. But, yeah, each new generation has a bunch of weird slang, and it's fine. Don't let it stress you out. K?

It'll be okay. Eventually, they'll get older, and their manner of speaking, which is being called brain rot, they'll start talking a little bit more normal. Kids are just gonna be kids. Alright? But it is funny to see old people lose their minds.

About the new generation, you would think that each older generation would remember that they were that generation at one point. The misunderstood, gonna destroy the future. This is a cycle as old as time, but people just seem to get old and forget. I hope I don't get old and forget. All I wanna do is not be the completely oblivious crazy old person.

Maybe crazy. Maybe a little crazy. That'd be alright. But, you know, you don't want the young generation to be like, you see that guy? That guy is completely out of touch.

With all of the finger pointing I've done over the years about people being out of touch, I bet I'm doomed to it. I bet I'm doomed to really be disappointed in my old self. I'll be that guy. Finally, there is a new generation that they're gonna ruin everything. Oh, I hope not.

How's it going? Happy Monday to you. Been an alright show for a Monday. You know, one thing that's been frustrating as of late with Mondays is usually the weekend just piles up with a bunch of wacky news. But right now, it's all politics and I know we're in an election year.

That's how it's gonna be, but, man, could could Florida man get out and do something dumb or something like that? I mean, I'm enjoying reading all of the little bit I mean, even Florida man just being a little bit too quiet. Man, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. There is floor demand content, but it's, inappropriate.

You know, we've already gone through the recent spaghetti stories and things like that. Okay. How about a Florida woman finds a world war 2 era message in a bottle while cleaning up storm debris? That could be interesting. Right?

A piece of history, nearly 80 years old. Oh, and now this website's just pummeling me with pop up ads. I wanted to know what the message in the bottle said. Help. I'm stuck in a boat, and it sucks out here.

Somebody save me. Let's see. What did the message say? Dear Lee, we received your letter yesterday and we're glad to hear from you. I'm going to school again, radio school.

Oh, I'm glad that we didn't have to go to school to get this job in the time that I got into the biz. Yeah. Don't go to broadcasting school kids. That is a waste of time. Alright.

You just gotta learn from the bottom up if you want to get into the broadcasting biz. Yeah. If you wanna end up working for Iheartmedia and putting 2020 years in your career and then getting fired like a bunch of people did over the weekend, Man, Iheart sucks. They're so terrible. Yeah.

You don't wanna also have the student loan debt from broadcasting school just piled up from back then. Would make that whole reduction in force or exiting the company or hanging on the beach. All these stupid terms that they have for radio people getting fired. It's gonna make that all a lot worse if you had student loan debt. So, yeah, avoid broadcasting school.

It's my word of advice to you. And if you wanna get into radio, just start a podcast. Well, peeps, thank you again for hanging out with me today. It was a Monday. It was a Monday program.

Least I got a couple hours to dig up something to talk about during the noon hour of madness mayhem powered by Haliscos. Man, crazy slow news day. I don't know what's I mean, there's tons of news again, but it's all political talk. You know, there's about once every 4 years that talk radio hosts are just loving it because it's just so easy. Alright.

We'll just talk about the election all day, every day. That doesn't work out for me. Alright? Florida man, again, kick it up a notch. We need the help, buddy.
