The Viktor Wilt Show

What's happening? Welcome to the Viktor Wilt Show this morning. Not being very productive so far. Kinda need to get my act together here. Hope things are going well for you so far.

I was in here, tinkering with things. We got a bunch of new toys in yesterday. Got couple new webcams so I can bring mine home and hopefully get back to, you know, doing a little bit of that home streaming and that kind of thing. Also got some new lights. So I rigged up a couple of said lights this morning just trying to figure out, okay, where can I route some power cabling and this and that?

And, I don't know what it is with me as of late, but I'm all grouchy. Like, what what's my problem? Why do I feel grouchy this morning? I've got new toys. I should have, you know, very little to complain about as far as work goes at the moment.

I think it's because I looked at social media today. I don't know what I'm supposed to do in this job. Social media, a great place to find content as well as interact with you listeners, but I just can't do it. I just cannot look at it. You know, I know it's not good to put your head in the sand, but at this point, I don't know what else to do with myself aside from put my head in the sand.

Yeah. Sometimes you just wanna give up on people. Oh, well. What else was I gonna whine about this morning? You know, having to route cabling.

Oh, no. Not that. Not routing cabling. Well, I guess it must not have been very important if I already forgot whatever it was. But, yeah.

Perhaps oh, I remember what it was. It was in relation to all of these new toys and things we have here. You know, been begging the bosses for lighting and cameras for a long time. We finally get it. I wake up this morning, and I've got a gigantic zit on my face.

And, you know, some people don't care about such things. But when I make a video or put up a photo of myself and I've got a big zit on my face, I don't like it. So I'm very disappointed about that today. But at bare minimum, I can get the lighting set up and all that stuff. And then, and if I if I don't feel like putting my zit face on a video, I can do it another day.

I've I've got plenty I need to do aside from making videos anyway. I gotta get cracking on classy 97 music. Yeah. I gotta gotta keep that audience happy with some newer jams, so, maybe today's not the day to be monkeying with, cameras anyway. But if I don't set it up, nobody will, so working on it.

It's the Victor Wilt Show, and good morning to you. A little bit of a rainy day out there. Give yourself a little bit of extra time heading where you need to be. I'll take it, though. You give me rain all winter.

Sure. Leave the snow in the mountains. Give us a little bit of that rain down in the valleys. It's what I'm talking about. Yeah.

Alright. Anyhow, just kinda getting rolling here. As I mentioned on my previous break rather than doing, productive things that I need to get ahead on, I've been tinkering with the new toys in here, but I I think I'm about done with that. They're gonna be really nice, though. Gonna be really nice.

So I got a bright light blasting me in the face right now. Was just kinda tinkering with video settings. It's gonna be good. It's It's gonna be good, but man. Just wish I didn't have that big stupid zit on my face.

Or I jump online and do some live streaming. Maybe I will eventually once I get a little bit more comfortable here with the, the day so far. Alright. Let's see here. Taking a look at Reddit.

Definitely winging it here. People who quit their jobs on the first day, what made you say I'm done with this? Alright. Someone overwhelmed by the cash register. Alright.

You know? Gotta give it some time, people. Somebody saw the microwave was coin operated. What? I didn't even know that was a thing.

Why on earth would you have a coin operated microwave? And what what alright. I don't know if that would make me quit on the first day. I'd just be baffled by it. Let's see.

Somebody found out that the time clock system didn't track hours worked, but the minutes spent typing or moving your mouse. I have heard of this before because I've seen online, like, devices that people can buy that will make it so the mouse is just kind of moving. That's pretty sad. That's pretty ridiculous because what what are you supposed to do? Just sit there and move the mouse while you're reading?

Some employers. Yeah. I think I'd walk out too. See, telemarketing company selling timeshares. Yeah.

I'd walk out immediately. That does not sound good. Does not sound like a fun job. This person said their first call was an old lady who told me the story of how her husband fell down the stairs two weeks ago and died right in front of her. And the manager was over the shoulder listening in and said something like, okay.

Now pitch the package. Jeez. Telemarketing, man. I've never worked a telemarketing job, but it sounds brutal. Brutal.

I did a lot of phone jobs over the years, but nothing like that. Not trying to sell people things that, they probably don't need. Jeez. Alright. Anyway, we're getting rolling here.

I'll be back in a minute. I I architects and black hole. Sam from architects, one of the nicest musicians that I have ever met, had a great time hanging out and interviewing him in Vegas A Few Years ago. And, yeah, he was great. He was great.

Most of the time that I deal with artists, they are pretty nice. Occasionally, you get one that's, a little bit rude or rock star ish. But for the most part, I think because I work in radio, they just kind of treat me better than they might otherwise. I know when I was just a fan, there were some bands that they were not very nice. Alright.

Fear factory. This was way back in the day. Now I've met fear factory since and they were different. But when I was a teenager, I don't remember exactly what happened. But Sebert and Bell, he was just kind of rude at a show in Salt Lake.

I think we were just trying to get some autographs or something, and I don't know. It's been so long that maybe I was being annoying. I don't know. But again, for the most part, I've been pretty lucky. There is a thread on Reddit right now where people are talking about the meanest and nicest musicians.

If I try to think about the nicest musicians I've met, Rich Ward from Stuck Mojo, super nice. Jared from Head PE, very nice dude. System of a down. Yeah. Darren and Shavo, both really, really nice guys.

Briefly met Serge, but didn't really get a chance to talk to him. Talked a lot more at that show in Pocatello about twenty five years ago. Talked more to, Darren and Shavo. They were both great. Pete from the band Ultra Spank.

I don't know what happened to to those guys, but he was always one of the nicest. The only I'm trying to think of who's been rude since I've been in radio. No one to me directly. OTP wasn't very nice to, Brad Royle. We had a a meet and greet or something, and I I know that he was furious afterward.

And, Brad's a pretty chill dude. Takes a lot to make him mad. But he was very insulted by something or other that went down. So, let's see what the Internet says as far as, nice celebrities, rude celebrities. Alright.

This person's pointing out that Tom Petty was a very down to earth chill guy. I would imagine. I mean, most of the time, you can probably tell just by interviews. Right? Like, I would assume Gene Simmons is not very fun to hang out with.

You know? I'd his demeanor is just off putting to me. I'd meet him. Sure. I'll meet just about anybody.

Now I'm not saying he popped up on the list as a rude celebrity. I'm just I'm just guessing now that he'd probably not be very fun to be around. Let's see here. Somebody says Chris Cornell was great. I would imagine.

Seems like a pretty nice pretty nice dude. Apparently, Van Morrison, not. Somebody else commented there are two types of people, those who like Van Morrison and those who have met him. Wow. There's a lot of people commenting on what a jerk Van Morrison is.

Okay. Well, good to know, I guess. I don't think that I'll have an opportunity to meet Van Morrison anytime soon. Actually, all of these rude celebrities, I think I would want want to meet them. Because if they're being rude in an interview situation, I'd just start being snarky back.

And I'd just try to poke at them and aggravate them further. See if you could get them to walk out. That'd be pretty good. Alright. Michael Stipe supposed to be pretty nice.

Okay. Here's one that's always surprising to people who don't listen to metal. George Corpsegrinder Fischer from Cannibal Corpse. Now, one, he's a really nice guy. Like, just a nice dude.

But, also, while out on tour, he always, you know, stops at the local arcade or grocery store, plays the claw machine, and, all the toys he wins, he donates them to children's hospitals. You know, if you read Cannibal Corpse lyrics, you're like, who are these psychopaths? That's the thing about most extreme metal bands that I've met that write, like, horror lyrics. Just disgusting, you know, kinda like reading Edward Lee or something. All a bunch of nerds, all super nice.

Like, back when, I was writing songs with immense decay with, Nick Popleton from Neck Brace. You know, we wrote a couple songs lyrically and they were just disgusting. Just gross. And we just sat around laughing. We're like, this is funny.

How how could we make this, more ridiculous and more over the top? Nick Poppleton, one of the nicest dudes on the planet. You see him on stage, scary, Frightening. Off stage, just seriously one of the nicest guys ever. Ever.

Alright. What else do we have here? Not my story, but my dad hung out with Ice T for a few hours in the nineties and said he was the nicest and realest celeb. I I bet Ice T would be, pretty chill. Alice Cooper, I've interviewed him, and he was super nice.

He came into my daughter's it's not her restaurant. The restaurant she works at in Phoenix, month or two ago, and she said he was just super nice in there as well. She was kinda starstruck, which doesn't happen to her too much because I was taking her to shows and meeting bands when she was a little kid. So I'm it it's kind of surprising when she gets a little bit starstruck. Let's see here.

I wanna hear about the mean celebrities. Everyone's like, oh, this person's nice. Gettily's great. Oh, Barbra Streisand. Apparently, don't look at her.

Don't look at her. Okay. Alright. Interviewed Michael Buble about twenty years ago. Really nice guy.

A lot of fun. Oh, I won't finish what they said. I guess they got something for him. You always think of Michael Buble as being this, clean-cut Christmas songs guy. I don't know where this was located, but that's that's pretty funny.

Rob Halford, another, Phoenix Celebrity. I bet he's super nice. I bet he's way nice. Oh, Ted Nugent? Yeah.

No. Who would be surprised that Ted Nugent would be a jerk? Watch interviews with him. He'd be probably be pretty terrible. We recently had a question pop up.

You know, if you got stuck on a desert island or on a cruise ship or something with with one celebrity, who would you not want it to be? And I responded with, like, Kid Rock or Trapped. I think Ted Nugent would probably be well yeah. I've he might be the he might be the worst of the bunch. I've hung out with Trapped.

You know, back in the day, they they used to be really nice. Yeah. Before before the front man got just angry at the world, you know, we've had him in studio. They they were it it's weird how people can, just shift like that. It's really unfortunate.

Alright. Anyway, this whole list here is just gonna be, these guys are so nice. So nice. So nice. I wanna know about the jerks.

Well, there was a big show just announced. Least I think it's been announced. I don't know. It says spoiler on Reddit, but it's floating around out there, so I figure I can talk about it. Nobody told me not to.

It's not around here. Sorry. Didn't mean to get you excited for a second there. It is happening in Birmingham, England, so a little bit of a road trip, boat trip, plane trip if you wanna see Ozzy's final show. And not only are you getting sets from Ozzy, but also Black Sabbath and, boy, an all star lineup of just about everybody else.

You got Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Hailstorm, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, Anthrax, and Mastodon with additional performances by Billy Corgan, David Draymond, Duff McKagan, Fred Durst. I guess Lizzie Hale gonna do some solo stuff aside from Hellstorm. Jake E. Lee, former Ozzy guitarist, Jonathan Davis of Korn, KK Downing, Mike Borden of Faith No More. And this is interesting.

Papa five Perpetua. So I guess they ruined the announcement of what the new front man of Ghost will be named. Papa five Perpetua. Oh, If this is about to be announced and this flyer is going out there, that makes me think that we are getting some news and hopefully new music from Ghost sometime soon. Yeah.

Been pretty quiet on the Ghost front ever since they dropped that concert film, which was really good, by the way. You should check it out. It's very fun. If you're a Ghost fan, I think you'd really enjoy it. But, yeah, that was the the main thing that got my attention about this flyer.

Papa five Perpetua. Awesome. Yeah. I hope we get some some new ghosts soon. That'd be that'd be pretty wonderful.

Would it not? Mhmm. They also mentioned that, Sleep Tokens' drummer is gonna be there. Slash, Sammy Hagar, Tom Morello, Wolfgang Van Halen. It's going down Saturday, July 5.

Yeah. I don't think I'll be able to make it since I'm generally beyond busy on the July 4. But, hey, maybe you're looking to, get out and check out Ozzy's final show. And it's the original Black Sabbath lineup. How many bands that old anymore still have all of the members around?

And I'm telling you, having seen Black Sabbath with the original lineup, it's incredible. Yeah. They're even gonna have Bill Ward on the drums, so that's very cool. Tickets go on sale on the fourteenth. Well, that's romantic.

Tickets on sale next Friday for Valentine's Day. So pretty cool. Pretty cool stuff. Anyway, I I saw that in the, I think it was the Aussie subreddit, but I don't know if it's been officially announced. So if somebody gets mad about it, you know, it's it's not my fault.

This is on the Internet. It's 2025. Sometimes the info gets out there. It's ight over here. Not looking so ight at Disney, at least on Disney plus.

Jeez. Losing customers like hotcakes. Yeah. Lost 700,000 subscribers in the final quarter of last year. Wonder why.

Has it gotten to be pretty expensive? I've got it in one of those, bundle packages with, like, HBO and, what, Hulu. I don't know. Anything you can do to save any kind of dough in this day and age. Kinda ridiculous the amounts that we spend on television.

We're back to that full fledged amount that you would spend on a cable bill. Heck, you might have cable or satellite and all of these streaming services. Now I, can't afford the, the old cable, but I don't know. I don't have much of a desire for it anymore, I guess. It's bad enough Scrolling through 10,000,000,000 options that you can start right at the beginning of the program.

You know? I don't really miss the days of channel surfing. You know? Alright. We've got 50 channels.

We got a bunch of shows that we're right in the middle of, and I don't wanna watch any of them. I'd rather have the, oh, there's too much to watch. I know. We we've really got it rough in this day and age. TV's about, about the only reprieve, so I I shouldn't complain about anything relating to TV.

Great way to, you know, tune it all out. Alright. Let's kick off this freak news with, you know, something that's, to me, not that surprising in this day and age. That would be that there are people who don't know that $2 bills exist. You don't see them very often.

You don't see cash very often. So I'd be willing to give a pass to these people at this Aldi grocery store in, New York where a guy showed up, had a bunch of $2 bills, tried to buy some stuff, and they're like, sorry, man. You know, these look like counterfeit bills to us. The young people have probably not seen $2 bills. Alright?

Now this guy, I think his response was typical of 2025, you know, unreasonable, whiny. He got on Facebook in the uncensored Sullivan County, New York news and politics group. One thing I've discovered is if there's a group on Facebook and it's called blah blah blah uncensored, that tends to be where people just go post, like, racist memes and things like that. Now this guy didn't go racist. Alright?

But he did just get, as is typical of this day and age, whiny and, oh, poor me. This is what he had to say. You know, I I wanted to pay with some $2 fill dollar bills. The young guy refused to accept them, insisted they were counterfeit, showed them to another cashier. I know you can't believe it.

There were actually two cashiers. Yeah. He said that. Yeah. Can you believe it?

They had people who'd actually ring up your groceries. This this a whiny guy. So then he's like, well, can you check him with the, counterfeit pen? And they either didn't have one or like, no, dude. Sorry.

You know, we're we're just gonna have to, not accept your bills. So he got online, throws a tantrum, absolutely disgusting and unprofessional treatment to a regular customer exclamation point. And then everybody starts, you know, piling on. Yeah. We should all go there with $2 bills.

Let's go back there with 50¢ pieces. I hate to break it to you but, I've seen this kind of similar complaint here in East Idaho. The, Mountain America Center, you know, it's a cashless venue. You need to, use a debit card or credit card while you're there or put your cash into a machine and get a card you can use And there were a lot of people completely throwing tantrums about this. It's illegal to not accept cash.

No. Actually, you can go ahead and accept whatever type of payment you want at your business. So anyway, try to not, you know, bully young people and publicly shame them because maybe they've never seen a $2 bill before. When's the last time you saw one? I might have one around my house somewhere.

Oh, actually, we have one hanging on the wall in here. What am I talking about? A listener brought us one a while back. So, yeah. We do have one in here.

It's not fake. But, yeah, some people are not exposed to these kind of things. Settle that. It's not the end of the world. Jeez.

Did the guy not have a debit card? I only use cash. I'm cash only. They're trying to move us to a cashless society, man. So I only use cash and I only use $2 bills because I like to be unique.

I don't know. What it what a whiny turd. What else do we have here for freaking news? There was a bear that was found underneath a home that survived the Eaton fire in Altadena, California, and the people weren't even surprised. They're like, yeah.

That's that's Barry, the local, resident bear. He hangs out in our crawl space all the time. That's gotta be weird to have a 500 pound wild animal that's you know, it just lives under your house, and you're like, man, no big deal. I take it they don't have pets. You know?

Anyway, they said it's a pretty mellow wild animal. They ended up, luring it out with some treats, and then they gave it a GPS collar and relocated it to the Angeles National Forest. I I just can't imagine being comfortable with there being a bear under my house. I mean, if I see a raccoon in my yard, I'm like, oh, it's gonna it was attack my cat. Help.

Help. There's animals outside. Alright. Finally, speaking of wild animals, I don't know what's going on in Minnesota. I'm gonna have to hit up my, family members and be like, is this a delicacy there?

Apparently, last year, they banned, people from being able to, eat beavers, wild beavers. K. Settle down. And now a senator is proposing reversing that law so that you can eat beavers. Alright.

I don't think I've ever seen that pop up on the, the list of, hey, wild animals that taste better than you might think. Beavers. Anyway, I guess it's very important to people to be able to eat them in Minnesota. A bunch of weirdos. I mean, there's too many Swedish people there.

I think that's what's going on. They they mow down that, fermented fish and stuff in Minnesota too. You know? I I mean, thankfully, my relatives and, you know, my brother and sister are pretty normal. Far as I know, they're not eating that type of stuff.

Have to hit them up. Hey. When's the last time you hit up a local restaurant and had some beaver? Well, back in 2023 all the time till they took our rights away. Alright.

Well, at least in Minnesota, I guess they're trying to implement rights rather than take them away. Morning, Peaches. Good morning. What's going on here? Oh, there we go.

Okay. Gotta gotta turn it up. Hello. Hello, Peaches. Anything exciting going on?

Is it still, dumping rain outside? It's not dumping rain. It's actually quite nice outside. Well, I'm enjoying this warm weather, this heat wave. You know?

Last year, it was heat wave, heat wave, heat wave, and that's it's all anyone ever said. And, it's great. It's great. You know? If there's any benefit to climate change, it's living here.

You know? If we, you know, during our lifetime, who cares about the kids? It's getting a little bit more enjoyable around here. You know, if they're all living in a scorched earth, cannot live in California or Arizona or Nevada, we'll be okay while we're alive, Peaches. I do like those people that are like, where's the snow at?

Look at the ground, dude. Like, what are you talking about? Where's the snow at? Yeah. Well, snow's been in some of the weirdest locations ever this year.

Weather is completely unhinged. Yeah. You can go see snow in Florida, Louisiana. Speaking of Louisiana, I was reading that, lawmakers are demanding that, halftime shows for the Super Bowl go family friendly. I may actually get a good musician.

Well, it's all I don't we we shut those people up. Yeah. We shut those people up. They're like, we'll bring in a rock band. It's like, dude, they're not going to.

That's not the popular demographic. Every single year, why don't you bring in, like, Ice Nine Kills or Metallica or something like that? It's not gonna happen. Yeah. Well, I've explained it every year why the Super Bowl has, pop artists.

You know? It it all goes back to this, you know, made up thing that, says that the most important demographics and the biggest decision makers when it comes to large purchases are women between the ages of 25 and 54. That's why all, you know, advertisers go to that demographic first because, I mean, this was straight made up. I mean, you could even go talk to our sales team and they will tell you that that is the most most important sales demographic because they make the most important, decisions when it comes to large purchases. I'm sorry, but, all the women I know are pretty smart when it comes to money.

The people who spend a lot of money on big stupid purchases, dudes. Alright? It's dudes who wanna buy big stupid waste of money things. Alright? Yeah.

My ex yelled at me one time because I bought the SpongeBob button that says I really wish I weren't here right now. And she's like, stop wasting your money. What are you doing? Like, quit it. Yeah.

So, you know, the Super Bowl, they tend to try to, put on because they want everybody watching the commercials. That's what it's all about. They don't wanna care about the show. I saw AI's taking over the commercials too. What do you mean?

Like, there there's a whole bunch of there's gonna be a whole bunch of AI commercials this year for Oh, I'm sure. Open AI and Google's AI and all that stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, AI, you know, people can try to fight against it, but, yeah.

It's it's it's taken over. Right? Here's my thing. We have a rich owner. Right?

Mhmm. We have him spend the 8,000,000 for a thirty second commercial on why K Bear. Everyone should tune in to K Bear. Hey. That sound like a K Bear Super Bowl ad.

No. That's not family friendly peaches. Louisiana. Get out of here with that. Have you ever, read stories about Mardi Gras peaches?

Does that sound family friendly to you? Oh, no. No. Not at all. You know?

I mean, I think Janet Jackson killed the Super Bowl halftime show with the, you know, accident that happened. Yeah. Accident. Accident. And also, all of the people who claimed that bothered them.

Oh, I saw a boob. Woah. It's so funny you say that. It's so funny you say that because yesterday was it yesterday that we talked about the whole Kanye West and Bianca thing at the Grammys? Yeah.

I mean, because I didn't read anything about it. Apparently, what, they weren't invited and that's why they Well, she's a problem. Completely naked almost. Like, they were Almost. Almost.

She I saw the outfit. It she was wearing clothes. And you were like, who's complaining about that? Literally, right after your show ended, I go to the Cannonball Studio. Josh from Classy is outside the Classy studio talking to Chantelle because, you know, he's eating food.

We can't have food in the studio. So he's talking to her going, like, I can't believe they did that. Like, I I didn't wanna see that. He he was full on, like, complaining about Who is offended by naked women? Apparently, Josh.

He's a liar. He isn't. I I'm guessing he's he's just playing classy over there. I'm claiming him the the king of l takes because he doesn't like ketchup. He says stop putting fruit and soda.

He doesn't like the naked woman showing up on TV. I just don't I don't buy it. When I hear anybody get upset about naked women, I don't believe it. I think he was because he was talking to Chantelle. He's like, I didn't wanna see that.

There you go. Yeah. He's he doesn't show it this way. Me, you, Jade, and, you know, it's just like, oh, yeah. Oh, okay.

Now if he was like, that was awesome. I I would yeah. I would assume, like, that's a good way to get your lady a little bit mad at you. Well, Chantel But to tend to be offended by it is just silly to me. Chantel has had a big crush on Trent Reznor, and you can tell Josh is a little is a little jealous.

Gets a little bit jealous. Should we drag that poster of Trent Reznor, a nineties Trent Reznor, and hang it up in the classy studio right across from, or right behind Chantelle so it shows up on their camera? And don't get her started on Dua Lipa's dad. Dua Lipa's dad? Mhmm.

What? Mhmm. How does anyone even know who Dua Lipa's dad is? Let's see. Dua Lipa's dad.

He just look like some old dude. Okay. Alright. Whatever. To each their own.

To each their own. But okay. Google's getting a little bit weird. Oh oh, is that his name? Duke Duca Jin?

I I thought that Google just went haywire. Is that really his name? That can't be his name. That's his name. That's his real name.

Dukagjin Lipa? Dukagjin Lipa. He's from Albania. Yeah. I know he's from there.

Or no. He's from, Yugoslavia. Because Excuse me. Because her mom's from, Albania. Because they they they see Dua Lipa, and she has the the British accent.

I think she grew up in England. Oh, I've never seen an interview with her. Oh, so Yeah. She seems really nice. Yeah.

I did a, break about nice celebrities earlier, and I got bored with it because it was a Reddit thread where it was like the meanest and nicest, and I don't care about the nice ones. I wanna know who's a jerk, and I wanna hear those horror stories. But, I figure if I ever met a mean celebrity. I would think you would. Harvey from TMZ?

No. He's just a straightforward dude. I I like the way he runs things. I If if you do well I mean, if he he just care he does care about you, but he's just Alright. So he's not mean.

TMZ is his product. If you affect his product, that's when he comes after you. How do you affect his product? I mean, they're like the modern day National Enquirer. I mean, they they get the stories before anybody else does.

I've seen that email pop up. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Like, those those different emails that were crazy, Matt used forward them to me. So my friend Matt used to work his, work his desk and he would get these crazy emails about George Clooney spotted holding hands with a guy and then just all this stuff.

Yeah. What a what a weird business to be in. You know? Be the digital paparazzi. Yeah.

Very strange. He knew things, but, like, right right as Kobe died, boom. We we got the news headline before it broke out there. Did so do they just pay these informants a lot of money or what? Well, I told you I was gonna tell you off the air about that one time, but I think they do they do this, money transfers.

I'm sure. I've had to deal I've had to do those as a PA. It's the most awkward thing ever. You have to show up to, like, one of those stores, and you have to, like, go to the front of the go to the front and be, like, hey, I'm gonna transfer this to somebody. It was a whole script that I called.

Western Union? No. It was some it was one of those, like, really, like, sketchy looking, like, cash transfer stores that you would see in LA. I'm not surprised at all. But, like, you would show up there and, like, they would you would have to practice a script first, and then you have to go in there and, like, say the whole thing and then follow the whole script and don't say anything else and just hand them the envelope.

Alright. Well, learning something. I mean, again, it's the entertainment business. It's this one of the sleaziest businesses. The guy who got the footage of, ASAP Rocky in Sweden, you know, the the whole fiasco.

I don't remember, but maybe I don't know if we wanna talk about it. He was paid a good amount for that video because I was the one who had to get the money to Peach is the middle man. Yeah. That's right. Alright.

The Batman. I'll give you an offer you can't refuse. We got Jay Davis in the house. What's happening? Oh, it's just, I woke up this morning remembering that nerd group that made a band about us.

Well, mostly about me. Ultimate failure? Yeah. I think that Facebook page is still up. We've checked on it a a few times over the years.

Ultimate failure. There's some pictures of us. Do something nice for some bands to open up for a bigger band and Yeah. I this online voting. And online voting always sucks.

Oh, yeah. There's always a way to game it. Yeah. You can hire a bunch of nerds. One one group, one band did.

And then, this what was it? Like it was like a World of Warcraft forum. Forum. And Bunch of dudes that never left their mom's basements. And I think all that you and I did was, like, got on air and made fun of them.

Right? Something like that. I don't think we went into their forum. No. But we were just trashing the nerds, you know, who, were gaming the the system there to try to win the competition, which is why all online voting is pretty much garbage.

It can always be rigged. But people coming out of the woodwork on that one, I remember back in the day, they're like, it's not fair. I don't care. I don't care that you're complaining about something free. Yeah.

Complaining about free stuff. That's something that definitely drives me crazy. Like, I I bought a lotto ticket I didn't win. Yeah. Are you winning free concert tickets?

It's not the seats I want. Yeah. I'm really ready. Seats were cut. Better.

I mean, we get a lot of tickets given to us, for shows. And often enough, they're some of the worst seats in the house. They're free, though. But they're free. Do I ever storm around?

How dare they let me into this concert for free? Go keyboard warrior it. Oh, this record label hooked me up with some tickets. And they're not the ones I want. Rawr.

That's not fair. Yep. Yeah. Try to not whine about things that you don't need to, but that's it's made a comeback. Whining I've noticed.

Jeez. The run went Dylan was whining all over the place this week. It's just been exhausting, the whining. And our job is interesting because we're public figures, so to speak, and people relate with us and Big time celebrities. That we're actually first name basis friends, that type of thing.

Yeah. Totally. So they feel the need to make our work life hectic when it doesn't go their way. It's happening. It's not the same as like if you go into a retail store and the clerk just is a little off.

Yeah. No. I mean People don't cause them a lot of grief. I know you you had your $2 bill thing this morning. Your $2 bill.

You know? But that was a good example of, you know, somebody just unleashing a bunch of whining online that they didn't need to. Like, just get over it, dude. Get your debit card out, pay, and leave. Shut up.

Oh, and it it was the phrasing that he used. Like, it was so disrespectful and blah. Like, you you were not disrespected by somebody who didn't know that $2 bills existed. And disrespect is like, I don't know. I I almost said something really rude to you, Jade.

And I'd be like, that'd be disrespectful. No. The reason you did say is because the mics are on. That's true. If the mics were off, I would have said it.

But, the things where people think they've been wronged Yeah. Sometimes now. Yeah. Yeah. Just, everybody, you know, I'm Take a breath.

Take a step back. Please. Do something for your own life. Kinda getting used to it. Okay.

Let's talk about guns. This is an interesting question, and I would be curious what you think. Should blind people be able to own guns? Now oh, okay. In general, but what about, like, concealed carry?

There's a guy in Indiana who I guess he was trying to make some kind of a point, you know, raising concerns about Indiana gun laws. So he got his, concealed carry permit, but he is he is completely blind. You know, he was using his sightseeing stick when he went in to get fingerprinted and all that for the permit. Now it is an American right, you know, that second amendment. But I've I've read a bunch of stories about unhinged people with guns recently, like the guy who shot the, the grocery delivery person because they were outside of his house bringing the groceries.

Now what if you've got a really unhinged blind person? Alright? They hear a noise, and they just start blasting off around. I don't know. I'm all for, you know, people having their right to bear arms.

But also, there are a lot of morons out there. And that's why I do think personally, this is just my opinion, some kind of training should be necessary for people. I know in Idaho, everyone's allowed to conceal carry. There was a story the other day about somebody who got in their car, sat on their gun, and shot themselves in the groin. K.

Unfortunately, idiots ruin good things for everybody. Now, again, this guy, I I got no issue with this guy nor do I have an issue with potentially, you know, blind people having guns. I'm just thinking there should be what do you do in that situation, I guess? That's a weird one, isn't it? Now he says, you know, before he had lost his sight, he did learn how to safely use guns with his family, so that's good.

Yeah. I don't know. It's weird that they wouldn't have some type of a competency test, but, you know, that's the world we live in. Can't wait to get what I need to get done today with Classy so I can get to churning out some new video content with all these new toys in here. It's looking good in the studio.

Very nice refresher we've done on this place. Can't wait to unveil it. Just need to get, maybe a couple more lights put up and, one type of decoration on the big blank wall. Alright. I just posted in the k Bear group a question I found on Reddit.

I must know. What's a song you consider an absolute masterpiece, start to finish, no second of wasted time, every note just in a perfect spot, every word true? Boy, that's an easy question to answer. So if you have an answer, you can call me or go post your response in the group under my post. I started off with what's probably my favorite song of all time, Toole, lateralis.

It's a fantastic song and a masterpiece start to finish, but I I go on all day about perfect songs. I mean, most of them don't tend to get a lot of radio play. I got hit up by my homie Dan Ditto, drummer for local band Godbone, and he was telling me about the Stephen Wilson tour that was recently announced. I I talked about it on air, but he was letting me know that himself and his wife are going to Phoenix to see the show, and he was encouraging me to also go. Stephen Wilson, many, many perfect songs start to finish, but they don't tend to get, much radio play.

You want me to play twelve minutes of prog rock for you? I actually should. I should do a better job of forcing music that I consider to be perfection upon the audience. You know, we get these posts from time to time. Like, there was one I think yesterday in the group where somebody was complaining or maybe that I wouldn't even say complaining.

They were just saying maybe we shouldn't be playing older songs. Like, we're never gonna win. We're never gonna play songs that everybody likes. Like, yeah. I love every song on the radio.

Like, me? There's a big portion of our library that I'm not a fan of, but a responsible programmer doesn't put their own bias into what you play on the station. You just follow the facts and you go for mass appeal. So, you know, we got listeners that love ACDC. We got listeners that love ice nine kills.

We got listeners that love lore and a shore. And maybe there's a little crossover there, but probably not a lot. We try to play something for everybody. So, you know, in anytime you're like, I hate this song, you could keep in mind I might also hate it, but I play it because I know people like it. And I'm here to please.

I'm here to make you all happy as I can, but, again, never gonna win. So I just do my best. I might have to play some Stephen Wilson. The only response let let me refresh this. We had a comment on the post because I literally just barely made it.

Gerald posted Dark Side of the Moon. Now, I guess he's saying the whole album, which I would agree, start to finish, there ain't no filler on that. Dark Side of the Moon is perfection. But if I had to go with, one song from that album, it's hard to pick just one. I'd probably do the combo of tracks eight and nine, Brain Damage and Eclipse.

Peaches, what is a song that is perfection start to finish? Master peach buried alive. Master peach buried alive. Every note perfect. Alright.

You'll love this one, Peach's. Donna said three eleven, your favorite. Beautiful disaster. To peach their own. I mean To peach their own.

That's true. Opinion. I know. I I was just talking about everybody having different taste and things like that. I know.

Yeah. Yeah. You know, I don't I don't like most of the stuff we play. I okay. I shouldn't say I don't like it.

I'm just not a huge fan. Like, we've talked about it plenty how I wouldn't throw on a variety of very popular artists in my spare time, you know, when I'm at home. I I tend to, listen to a lot of stuff. I mean, plenty that we do play, but a lot that we don't like. Stephen Wilson.

Lately, I've been on one heck of an acid bath kick. Lots of acid bath. You listen to a lot of just old school, like, nineties metal or weird, proggy, nothing for twelve minutes? How dare you say nothing for twelve minutes? Well, I mean, you listen to it and you're like, when's the next note?

What's going on here? Okay. Now if you're talking, like, Doom metal, you know, okay. But that a lot of that stuff I don't throw on in my spare time, except maybe, like, elder. But elder's pretty proggy.

You know, there's there's a lot of different stuff happening. I I was looking to add blood incantation to the jinx show library. Blood incantation's really good. And I'm sitting there and I'm like, this is what Victor listens to. I I can't do this.

Blood incantation for death metal is, right up my alley for sure. You know, who are some of the other other newer bands, in the death metal realm that I really like? They they always tend to be super progressive. You know, like, even like job for a cowboy, I don't think you'd call him death metal necessarily, but Oh, they're really cool. Stuff.

I I love those lyrics. They're they're so ridiculous. You know, talk about space and vortex. You're making it so hard upon yourself to memorize those lyrics on stage. Well, dude, I mean, we've heard enough of the, crush and destroy and blah blah.

You're right. Or oh, my poor life me. If you if you if you had to get rid of the word flesh, none of these jank show songs would exist. It was so much fun yesterday coming into work, you know, real tired and also I start playing these songs and then they start talk start talking about peeling flesh and all this gross stuff. Yeah.

Very uplifting. I know. And they're all probably just a bunch of nerds. Oh, yeah. You know?

Talked about Cannibal Corpse earlier and how they I mean, they have some of the most disgusting lyrics of any band. Super nice dudes. Super nice. Totally nerd. I mean, how many bands let you hang out in the green room at their show just as a fan who happened to wander in there?

The only bands I could think of that have done that were, Cannibal Corpse and their opener. I don't know if I should say their name on here. But, yeah. I don't know how I ended up in there. I was hanging out with Francisco in Salt Lake.

Never saw him again. Don't know how I met him, but me and Francisco, all of a sudden, we're we're hanging out backstage in the green room just drinking beer with the bands. And I don't I don't know how it happened. But, That's fun. Super nice.

You know, most band that that was back in the day. Probably wouldn't fly nowadays. But things at shows were I'd it's not very often that I would say back in the day, it was better. But I think shows were a lot more wild and fun back in the day, or maybe I was just young. I don't know.

There's a lot of standing around now. You're right. Because I I have watched plenty of old concert footage on YouTube, and you do see the fans that are really into it. I mean Yeah. I was watching some sort of, Bohemian Rhapsody cover as a tribute to Freddie Mercury.

It was the rest of Queen and then Axl Rose comes out on stage. And apparently, the rest of the band didn't hear from Axl until he went out on stage that day. Like, they didn't even practice that song together. He just went out and did it. Nice.

But every fan's jumping up and down. They're into it. You know, cell phones didn't exist, and there wasn't, you know, the social media clout of people recording footage, posting it on their story. Yeah. And I think that some of the accidents that have happened at shows like that Travis Scott show where a bunch of people got crushed and killed, I think that's led to tamer crowds in general.

But the only two shows I can think of in the last few years that I went to that I was like, this feels like shows in the late nineties. But Wade Ward did have a great great crowd at that show at the Revolution Concert House. Yeah. I didn't go to that one. That was fun.

Electric Call Boy felt like an old school show. It was wild. You know, they didn't throw people out for moshing or, you know, trying to push your way to the front. You know, the most uptight crowd I was at recently was Sleep Token in Boise. But, That's because you get the TikTok crowd with that.

Yeah. Turn style in Salt Lake was old school. That's another one of those fun bands you have to be. You know, punk shows, I think, are the only shows. I I because I I guess, Dropkick Murphy's.

That that felt like an old school show too. Best mosh and I've seen at the arena was at Dropkick Murphy's. That that was fun. And, was it was Pennywise at that one too? Yeah.

Yeah. Punk crowds, man. Punk crowds are fun. You know, I'm not even big into punk music, but I'll always go to a punk show, man. Punk crowds are just a blast.

So I need to get out to some shows, man. I'm going February 25, Disturbed, Three Days Grace, and Seven Dust. Well, I got Poppy lined up. Good. What you're going to that?

I'm gonna go to Poppy. Nice. And then, make them suffer. That's gonna be a great one too. With like moths to flames.

Those guys are gonna be pretty epic long. That'll be pretty cool. Nick is, like, demanding that I come to Boise for Meshuggah. So, you know, it's Meshuggah and cannibal corpse. It'll be fun.

Yeah. I I wanna go to that show, but I think that's the same time I'm gonna be in California. And then there's the, the rock radio convention in Vegas, which I'd like to go to, but I have to use PTO. And that's I have a ton of PTO hours. I would totally give you some if we Can we donate?

Can we donate PTO to fellow staff? 200. Jeez. Because I never take a day off. I heard your break yesterday morning about people never taking a day off.

Yeah. That's me. Use your time off. Take a mental health day, Peach. Just play video games.

No. My mental health is here. I enjoy what I do too much. I'm serious. Like, I so I told Jade that.

I was like, I love doing the whole video creation now. It's so much fun. Yeah. Well, wait till you see how things work with the new lights and cameras. They're they're working good, dude.

We'll have to do a noon hour break on these new on this new setup. Yeah. Yeah. We'll we'll we'll record noon on it. And, I haven't dialed in everything perfect, but we'll we'll get it set up.

Cool. Alright. Anyway, we'll be back in a minute. Still gives me chills every time I hear it. Gotta love a track that gives you the old chills.

Alright. Speaking of getting the chills, how about signs that a ghost lives in your house? Yeah. We're getting stupid here. Let's find out if my house is haunted and maybe yours as well.

Oh, I guess I need scarier music. Hang on here. Alright. The Exorcist theme? That that sound pretty good.

Jarell's haunted. I guess that's not really a haunting. That's a possession. Oh, well, it's gonna have to do. Okay.

14 signs you're living with a ghost. You hear strange noises. I don't know if I'm gonna go with that potentially being a sign that there's a ghost in your house. Do you have pets? Because I hear strange noises from the other room all the time.

Lucy, what are you doing in there? Oh, yeah. Getting into the cupboards, stealing the treats, and ripping the bags apart. Bad kitty. All right.

Strange noises are out for me. You find furniture and other objects out of place. Oh. Okay. When I left for work this morning, my garbage can, which I had taken out to the road last night, it was open.

Oh. I, I actually wasn't worried about this being a ghost. I was like, what? Did I say something on Facebook that now got the feds coming and digging through my trash? Yeah.

Did I take the wrong political angle and now I'm under investigation? You never know. Well, I hope they enjoyed the, fresh bag of, litter box waste that was right on top. Whoever was digging through my trash, that was my present to you. A present from the Kittays.

Alright. Yeah. I mean, if if all of a sudden you've got a chair on your, dining room table and you're the only one who lives there, that might be a little bit weird. Okay. Apparently, if you wake up every night around 3AM, you may be experiencing the gentle prod of a spirit.

Yeah. Apparently, according to some psychic, the veil between here and the spiritual world is thinnest between three and 5AM. Well, who did they ask? You know, generally between three and 5AM, it starts to seem like the world might be getting a little bit strange and like the veil between realities might be getting a little bit thin. It's because you need to go to bed.

Alright? Sleep deprivation does weird things to the mind. I was up for three days and I started seeing ghost people all over the place. What's happening? Go to bed.

Take a nap. You have random bites, scratches, or bruises. Alright. You know, I tend to always blame those on the cats. I think these people all have cats.

I think that's what's going on here. Or you're just, you know, a sleepwalker and you're a little bit clumsy. You know? How how often do you find bruises that you don't know where they came from? It happens to me.

Every once in a while, I'm like, what what is this? What did I do? I guess I'll start blaming the ghosts. If you have a lot of nightmares, apparently, you might be being haunted. If you witness disturbances in electricity.

I just figured that, you know, you got some bad wiring going on. I have one particular light fixture in my house that the like, one of the bulbs keeps burning out. In my house that the, like one of the bulbs keeps burning out. It's really annoying because I tend to, splurge when it comes to light bulbs for my house. I, I really like to, spice up the lighting.

So, you know, I've got color changing bulbs and I've got, you know, some of those you know, I've got color changing bulbs and I've got, you know, some of those Edison style bulbs in certain fixtures, the, you know, antique looking bulbs. And they're expensive. So when, you know, they they die, you're like, what what's the problem here? This is an LED bulb. It's supposed to last like a hundred years.

You see mysterious shadows or movements. Again, go to bed. Take a nap. The temperature fluctuates wildly. I thought that was just an Idaho thing.

I mean, is the entire, region we live in haunted potentially. There's a lot of weird stuff that happens around here. So I wouldn't necessarily doubt it. You always see 11:11 on the clock. Apparently, that means that, someone's trying to get ahold of you from the other side.

11:11. I just take it as a sign it's time to crank the amp. Yeah. Time to play guitar and play it loud. Pets exhibit odd behavior.

Okay. Pets always exhibit odd behavior. Who's got a pet out there and it, it doesn't act weird. Yeah. Staring at stuff.

That's not there. It's ghosts, man. It's ghosts. You feel like someone or something's staring at you. Well, that could just be paranoia.

You hear inexplicable voices. That's that's a sign of schizophrenia. I don't know if that's meaning there's a ghost around. You ever hear sounds? I hear sounds sometimes.

Unexplainable sounds. Am I going crazy? Ugh. I hope not. Not yet.

That's not supposed to happen till later. You smell something, but you don't know the source. Yeah. Probably a probably a pet fart. That's what I'm guessing.

Or here you go. This is the way you determine if you're living with a ghost. You see a ghost. That should be the only answer on this list. You see a ghost.

Like look, woah, look. There's somebody in my living room. He's wearing a stovetop hat. What, what is this? All right.

I hope you're not haunted. If you are, try to make friends with them. Well, I don't think ghosts are anything you need to be afraid of. They can't hurt you, can they? Only in them conjuring movies.

Well, and those are demons, I guess. Back to, you know, the exorcist music we're listening to. So, yeah, you'll be alright. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show. This program is a production of Riverbend Media Group.
