The Viktor Wilt Show

Well, hello. Good morning. Welcome to the Viktor Wilt program or good afternoon or good evening or whatever time of day you're listening to this since you can listen to it at any time now. I was just reading about an Olympic related topic that's finally not about Gojira. This is about Olympic Swimmers.

Now the article says, yep. You know, we assume this was going on all along and I don't know immediately your brain goes to some dirty place, right, when you hear that phrase? Or maybe not. I don't know. But, anyway, do Olympic Swimmers pee in the pool?

Yes. The answer is yes According to interviews with Olympic Swimmers. They got these what they call high-tech skin tight swimsuits. Now I I don't know what makes a swimsuit high-tech, but we're gonna go with it. It that's what the article says.

High-tech swimsuits. And it takes them, yeah, 20 minutes to get into these. So when you gotta go, you gotta go. And if you're in the pool, I guess that's just what you do. So they're just all, yeah, trying to distract their fellow competitors.

All of a sudden, you know, you feel a warm spot from the guy next to you. Throws you off a little bit. Yeah? Can you imagine if part of your job was knowing that you had to, you know, swim through? The person next to you is, you know, just waste.

Mhmm. That's just part of the job. You try to get them back but you can't, anyway, I I can't go into too much detail on this because it gets in that gray area or yellow area of, borderline bothersome to the community. So I mean, I think talking about peeing in the pool you know, you go to the pool. People put up the signs.

Yeah. Welcome to our ool. You know, there's no p in it. So if they could put those signs up, I should be able to talk about it. Plus, this is, you know, what Olympic athletes do.

The best swimmers in the world. I don't think they should have got this message out there. I think it's like giving people the the a okay to go ahead and head to the public pool and just let it go. Don't do it, k? You're not wearing a swimsuit that takes 20 minutes to put on or take off.

Get out of the pool. Go to the bathroom, please. You know, people want the the water to be cool on a hot day. Don't disrupt people's enjoyable swims. Low speed chase on a scooter.

I know it's not the world's greatest content, but forgive me. I was in Florida. So, you know, nice that something happened where the police in Florida, you know, could deal with something a little bit tamer than usual. So, a deputy noticed a man acting suspiciously and went up to him like, what's up, buddy? What are you doing?

But then the guy jumped on a motorized Walmart scooter and tried to make a run for it. Now is he talking about the motorized cart? What what's a motorized Walmart scooter? I can't imagine that they have scooters like, you know, you see on the side of the road all over the place. Seems inefficient for grocery shopping.

Anyway, the guy made a run for it at about 2 miles per hour. He was easily stopped. If you if you can be caught while the police are just walking behind you. Yeah. He, had a bunch of stolen jewelry and handheld game devices, which he stole from Walmart.

He also stole the motorized scooter as they're calling I I think scooter is, again, the wrong word. This is a motorized shopping cart. It's not a scooter. What's going on with the news? I mean, it's Florida news.

So whatever. But, yeah. That's what's in the news. Low speed chase with a thief on a scooter. That's not a scooter, you know, just because he's scooting along at a slow speed doesn't mean he is on a scooter.

Oh, jeez. I mean, I had a good dose of coffee this morning. I might have to kick it up a notch, do some more. I just saw somebody send us a message on Instagram where somebody cracked open a container of nest cafe, instant coffee, and just poured water in it and stirred it up making, I mean, that puts my instant coffee shooters to shame for sure. Maybe that's what I need to do this morning.

I've got a fresh container. Alright. Again, all we're gonna make it through this day. We're gonna power through together. Don't get into arguments with strangers.

Just just ever. Alright? You're out at the bar. Somebody wants to get in a debate with you. Just leave.

Because in this day and age, you don't know what kind of crazy you could potentially be dealing with, alright? This was in Indonesia. Got a couple of guys at the bar doing a little bit of drinking, and they start debating a variety of topics. I I hope this is real news. It seems like fake news because it's so stupid, but people are so crazy.

Maybe it's real. I haven't found anything to indicate it's not real. Alright? So, anyway, back to the story here. They get in a debate at the bar about what came first, the chicken or the egg?

For real. Yeah. They started off joking, exchanging riddles, then they start debating which came first, the chicken or the egg. At some point, one of the guys got emotional and left and he left so he could go home and get a knife. Came back and, killed the other guy.

Stabbed him 15 times. Jeez. See, you might think which came first, the chicken or the egg is about as harmless of an argument as you could get into, but think about it. It really could open up a Pandora's box of all kinds of different, different topics. K?

You could end up in a, I'm guessing what happened. They ended up in some type of a religious discussion there. And next thing you know, you're being brutally stabbed at the bar. So just a reminder to be cautious out there, there are people in this day and age who just fly off the handle. And may I shouldn't just say in this day and age, but it seems more common.

Maybe it's because what I do all day every day is dig through the news to try to find stuff to talk about, and I see a lot of people getting killed in the news. But if if I can add a little bit of funny here as I was scrolling through, at the end, there's a button at the end of this article that says skip to the next poll. And I thought they were asking which came first, the chicken or the egg in a poll. I've that would, in my opinion, be in pretty bad taste of this news organization to do in this article. You know?

Generally, you leave the bad taste to the people in the comments who are posting the laugh react, you know, when somebody dies. Like, back when people were dying of COVID and people would post the laugh react or get in there and be like, this is fake. Sometimes, you know, you should just not click. Alright? Not click.

Keep your mouth shut. Try to be a good human being. But who wants to do that? Right? Beyond not in 2024.

Why be a good human being? I would encourage you to. It'll make your life better, but I don't wanna tell you what to do. I think that's part of the problem. People don't like to be told what to do anymore.

So, maybe just don't listen to me. Alright. I guess we're going to dive into something that I've avoided for a while now and that is the topic of the Skibbty toilet. I I understood to a degree what this is. It just a YouTube video of a a head in the toilet.

Right? And now a series of YouTube videos with a head in the toilet. I have not watched any of these videos, but I saw recently there were discussions to make a movie out of these skibbity toilet, thing. We've talked plenty about gen z on this program, but I think Gen Alpha, that might be the weirdest generation yet. And I'm all for it.

Alright? You you wanna fire up and meme out some crazy YouTube videos featuring heads in toilets with glowing eyes, whatever. Alright? I don't understand what they're saying half the time. Like, look at this sentence.

Is this real? Any young kids out there that can tell me if this is just old people trying to pretend they understand Jen Alpha lingo, or is this something that would really be said? And also, is there any, you know, bad things being said here? Am I gonna get in trouble for saying this? Because it looks like gibberish to me.

Bro, didn't you get phantom taxed because of your level 0 guy it when or giat? I don't know what this is. When you literally have El Riz only in Ohio while hitting the gritty, you need to cook more like Livvy Dunne and baby Gronk or I'll get the non Sigma Rizzlers to mog you. I hope I didn't say anything vile there because I don't know what any of that means. I had to have peaches tell me what Riz was one day.

It's charisma. You know, whatever. I'm not gonna judge each generation for their slang. Alright? Just because I don't get it doesn't mean there's a problem with it.

I think that's one of the issues that older people face from each generation is just because they don't understand the younger generation. They feel like, you know, they have this right to say that the new generation is wrong or that there's a problem with it. And I don't think that's the case. I think, you know, the boomers now back when they were teenagers, all of their parents were like, what's wrong with this generation? They're they're gonna destroy the world.

I mean, we've got the news articles going back, like, a 100 years, at least, where each generation's talking about how horrible the new generation's going to be. And I'm sure my generation will be doing it for whatever, you know, comes after gen alpha down the road. All these kids, what are they? They're destroying the world. We're all gonna die.

And it'll all be okay. Skibbity toilet. Head in the toilet. I mean, we used to watch some weird videos when I was young. So I'm not surprised at all that virtual battles between human headed toilets and humanoids with, surveillance cameras, speakers, and televisions for heads.

I'm not surprised this is popular. Alright? Alright. I'm gonna finally click on the original video. Alright.

We've got a head that popped out of a toilet. I don't have the audio on. Alright. It's a weird video. Okay.

Uh-oh. My phone's buzzing. Does that mean I said something vile? Uh-oh. Okay.

Bryce texted me and says that, I've I you know, it I I think I'm still okay, Bryce. Said that, Guyatt Giat? I don't know how you properly pronounce it. Admiration for a large booty or something else. I I it's still fine, I think.

Because even if it's an abbreviation for something else, it's an abbreviation for something that is said in songs we play. So I think I'm okay there. How do you know these things, Bryce? Is it because you have young kids? Too funny.

Anyway, Skibbty toilet plot and Jen alpha appeal. There's a whole breakdown that I found on my this is a insanely long article. Although the gen alpha trend has been the butt of intergenerational criticism, many of us don't actually understand what's at the core of Skibbty toilet before rating its brain rot capabilities. Some of the stuff we watch when I was young is pretty stupid. All right.

What's worse. Kids watching, mister Rogers or kids watching skibbty toilet, both very stupid programs. Alright. Now mister Rogers might have a nice message at times, but maybe the skibbty toilet does too. I don't know.

I even dove in to this skibbty toilet universe. There might be some good messages just because a head's in a toilet doesn't mean it can't say something uplifting positive and perhaps, inspirational. K. Anyway, props to the next generation for keeping it strange. So I just saw a post saying MTV debuted on the air 43 years ago today.

Now you younger people might be like, MTV? What's that? You know, usually there's a meme floating around on this day that's like MTV debuted on the air 43 years ago today. Thanks for 20 years of music. Something like that.

I don't know. You young people, you don't realize what MTV was back in the day. I mean, it was it was a big deal back in the day. That was where you went to find out what was going on with new music. Now us metalheads, we, of course, had plenty of negative things to say about MTV.

They had a program at one point that went away, then I think it came back for a bit. It was called headbangers ball. I'm sure it would be super cringe to watch nowadays, but I saw a lot of great music for the first time. And I say saw because MTV was a TV channel. I saw a lot of great music debuted for me in music video form on MTV.

I'm sure it had a major impact on me being the person I am today. Not only because of the music, but because of really one program in particular, it had such an impact on shaping the person I would become, and that program was Beavis and Butthead. Oh, man. Your kids have no idea. This show, when it debuted, holy cow, did it turn the planet upside down?

You want to talk about parents losing their mind about things. You don't really see that anymore. Every once in a while, a song will pop up that parents freak out about like, you know, WAP. But, you know, some parents that I know lost their minds about that and I had to remind them, like, think about the music you listen to back in the day. K?

You wanna tell me that old gangster rap is not just as bad? It's okay for the ladies to make songs just like the guys did back then. Settle down. But, Beavis and Butthead, man, I mean, we had politicians talking about it. This show must be destroyed.

You know, politicians always trying to ruin a good time. Take us back to the fifties. But Beavis and Butthead, holy cow. The first time I saw that show nowadays, we have so many, you know, cartoons for adults, offensive cartoons, cartoons with adult humor. That wasn't the case back when Beavis and Butthead debuted.

It was wild. And the first time I saw it, I don't know how old I was, but I was not very old. And I was like, this is the most awesome thing I've ever seen. And one of the best aspects of Beavis and Butthead was not just the, the episodes. It was their commentary on music videos that would be interspersed throughout an episode each week.

I definitely blame a lot of my musical taste on videos that I saw on Beavis and Butthead as well as their opinion on what these videos were like. If Beavis and Butthead said your video or your band sucked, you were done back in the day. You were done for. And also if Beavis and Butthead said your band was awesome, that could make your career skyrocket. You know, I don't know if there are any tastemakers out there nowadays who have that type of influence.

I mean, we're talking I mean, bands would blow up because of Beavis and Butthead. And it was just such a fun show. And that was, you know, an MTV program. MTV had a lot of good programming back in the day, and then it all went to crap. MTV pretty much is a placeholder for that ridiculousness show now, isn't it?

Isn't that all they show? I mean, I, I don't have cable, so I haven't tuned in to MTV in a while, but it's really unfortunate what MTV has become. You know, because they don't I don't know why they call themselves MTV. They're not music television anymore. They they don't play music.

But, yeah, once it switched over to, you know, teen parent reality shows and ridiculousness, it it's just really too bad. I think they could have done something with the brand online. I I don't know. I don't know. I'm not a TV executive, but it's just kind of crazy when I think back to how important MTV was when we were kids, people my age, and how meaningless it is now to young people.

That I'm sure that young people see that and they're like, okay, that's old people stuff who cares. And it's still around MTV. It's just, I mean, it's a dead brand. It's completely dead. Anyway, if you wanna make your day enjoyable, watch Beavis and Butthead, but do it on YouTube where you can see the music video commentary.

And I really think that the only problem with the newer episodes of Beavis and Butthead is, you know, they they'll critique music videos from time to time, and they don't seem to think that anything sucks. Yeah. Like they're they're too nice to everything. Some of the videos that you see him critique, like Beavis and Butthead back in the the nineties would have been like this video sucks. And it's funny when you see him critique TikTok videos and things like that.

The the new episodes of Beavis and Butthead are really good that you can watch on I think it's paramount. They're fantastic but I do wish that they would do a little bit more for the rock and metal world when it comes to, you know, video discussion. But again, I the new episodes did not have the same kind of impact in any way. I mean, it was a cultural phenomenon when Beavis and Butthead hit the scene back in the nineties. It it was wild.

It was wild. You had to be there, kids. You had to be there. And I gotta give a shout out to my mom. My mom was awesome.

Both of my parents were totally awesome. They let me watch Beavis and Butthead. My mom thought Beavis and Butthead was really funny. And most parents were horrified at the prospect of their kids even knowing what Beavis and Butthead was let alone watching it. So I'm ever grateful that I had such cool parents.

They they ruled. Alright. I was going to do a break where I started breaking down fake stories that are making the rounds online, but there's just too many. And I went to Snopes and I was going to just start going through article by article. And I realized it's just gonna make people mad.

So sadly, I'm just not gonna do it. But what I am going to do is encourage everybody listening to this program to just take some time, go to Snopes and just scroll through, you know, like click where it says latest, go to view all and just go ahead and scroll through, read the articles, and see if you can, you know, clear your mind a little bit when it comes to what is real and what isn't because I have seen a lot of these on my own Facebook feed. Like that Home Depot is no longer sponsoring the Olympics because of the evil opening ceremony. It's not true. Same with Samsung.

They're they're not pulling their sponsorship because of the Olympic opening ceremony, which I would also really like to encourage everybody to kind of look into the history behind the Olympic ceremony. There there are historical explanations for everything that was happening throughout that. So please, before losing your mind, just read into the history of the the country France and, see what was going on there. They were telling a story throughout the opening ceremony there. It's just so funny when I start scrolling Snopes and I go, oh yeah, I've seen all this stuff.

And then I go, wow. A lot of people think this stuff's real. I see so much of this that is totally unbelievable that I just go, nah. You know, what whatever. But I gotta remind myself, people buy into this stuff.

And these are the kind of things that lead to so much division in the world. I hope that someday we can sort of come back together as a people because man, it's just gotten really sad. It's just gotten really sad nowadays. So anyway, go check out Snopes. If you're not familiar with the website, they they've been around for, I mean, a couple decades.

Snopes has been around forever because lies on the Internet and urban legends and things have have been around forever. It's a great way to find out what's real and what isn't. Now I'm sure there's people out there like Snopes is, you know, controlled by big brother or some I I don't know. But from my experience, they seem to be pretty legit. So please go give it a look and maybe you can calm some of your family members who are spreading craziness around down a little bit and let's let's cool things off out there in social media land.

Hey. I can dream. Time to talk about rumors for bands you may not know but should. Now I've talked about this band many a time on air because they're fantastic. They're one of my all time favorites, and they're a band that everyone should dive into the catalog and become as familiar with as possible.

That band is the mighty OPETH, not o tep. OPETH, o p e t h. I was scrolling Reddit because that's what I do. And, apparently, somebody posted some type of album leak details in the OPET subreddit in the last few days, and it's now been removed in response to a copyright notice. And according to the OPET subreddit, rumor has it that there will be a single coming tomorrow and then the album releasing in October.

Now I have not seen any news to indicate this is true aside from Reddit rumors, but supposedly, the new new OPETH album will come out October 11th and will be called the last will and testament. They've got album art up and everything. This looks pretty legit to me. Looks like somebody managed to get the detail. It did they just launch all this information?

Hold on here. Because now there's so much information popping up. This has to be real. Cause they're showing that vinyl variants and things like that, the collector's editions. Alright.

When when do we get some new music? Alright. That that's all I care about. When do we get a new song? Okay.

Yeah. Yeah. It looks like this is official. I wish Reddit would feed me the, you know, newest post first, not the stuff people were talking about a few days ago because alright. Let's, eliminate rumor.

Now, I don't know if it's true there's gonna be a new single tomorrow, but the album details do appear to be out there. Very cool. Very cool. They've got track lengths and everything. Okay.

Taken from omerch.com. Anyway, OPATH is an amazing band. If you're not familiar with them, you should dive in. I'm gonna play some OPATH after the break. K?

I'm gonna go to break right now so we can come back and play an epic OPETH track. Don't go anywhere. Since we just played a song that talked about red dead redemption part 2, wanna let everybody know I did play some video games last night. I was starting to get concerned that I was turning into an old person, but I I did it. I played some red dead, and I had fun doing it.

And I wanted to keep playing it, but it was bedtime because I had to get up early. So yeah. I I don't feel like I'm losing my mind anymore. I'm I'm not turning into a person who's too old for video games. Thank you, Red Dead.

Such a good game. I don't at the beginning of the game, when you put it into the PlayStation, it tells you how many hours you played. It it said something like 1100 hours. Now how many let's see. 1100 divided by 24.

45 days of my life. Man, there are some people out there who would go, look what you've done with yourself. A month and a half of your life spent playing one game. I don't feel like that was a waste of my time. It's very relaxing.

There's something just so, so relaxing about playing red dead redemption part 2 to me. Like, it it is the best. It is just zen playing that game. Alright. Anyway, sorry.

Let's get into some freak news. We got a lot of tourist news. Alright? We got a tourist caught bathing topless in a Florence fountain upsetting the locals. Alright.

Now I'm guessing that it's not the topless thing that people are super upset about. I think it was just jumping into a fountain that you're not supposed to. There are, you know, laws in this city that say, you know, you you need to have respect for our local landmarks. No jumping in the fountains. Because anytime a story pops up where somebody gets offended at women being topless, I I don't buy it.

I I don't think that anybody is really offended by boobs. I I just don't buy it. Now jumping into a fountain in the middle of a city, such as the Trevi Fountain in Rome, it's forbidden. This is inappropriate behavior at cultural sites, and I think that's why the locals get mad. I'm pretty sure the same reaction would've happened if she was in a swimsuit.

Just just throwing it out there. So if you're visiting another country, try to be respectful. Don't be an idiot, and don't go on vacation to Australia. Now not for all of the reasons I've pointed out on this show many times, like giant spiders and snakes coming out of the toilet. No.

Let's talk about the crazy locals. They're fed up with tourists. The graffiti that is popping up around places like okay. This is not even just Australia. This is, also in Spain.

You've got graffiti saying, you know, kind of tame things like tourists go home, But the new stuff popping up is kill tourists. Jeez. Alright. Well, Spain, Australia, I'll stay home. You don't have to worry about me.

Plenty of places I could visit elsewhere. I don't think I'm an annoying tourist either, However alright. I'm old. I think it's people in their twenties. You know, people in their twenties, they're all out of control.

You young people, you kids, you're out of control. Now when I was in my twenties, I was fairly out of control as well. Alright. So I'm I'm not gonna just play innocent here. K?

I have been an irritating person at many times over my many years on this planet. I have certainly been dumb and annoying. I try to not be that way anymore. Try to be, you know, responsible. Set a good example.

But you young kids, look what you're doing. Now people are ready to kill tourists in places like Spain and Australia. I I that's that's pretty frightening. Be careful out there if you're gonna go on vacation. Why do I have that tab open?

I was certainly not gonna talk about that. I again, if I was doing a show online, I didn't have a job. I didn't have bosses. No oversight. Ma'am, would I have fun?

There are so many crazy stories out there that I just cannot discuss on the radio, and I'm not just talking like politics. I think it would be fun to talk politics, let you all know what I really think about things. But, no, some of the really vile, crazy stories that pop up day to day that it's like, you know, parents driving their kids to school probably don't wanna hear me talking about that. I don't think the bosses would either. Imagine it would be fun.

It would be self fun, but I'll continue being a, you know, safe for the community, you know, living up to the standards of east Idaho radio host. I won't go off the rails. I won't, you know, become completely unhinged. Sorry. Sorry.

As fun as that would be. And we'll get into some more of this freak news as, we go on throughout the show today. My goal today to make the 9 o'clock hour as good as the rest of the show and not run out of content. And I I tend to burn through the best content in the first half of the show. And then, you know, everybody listening during nines, like, why do people like this guy?

He sucks. He's, you know, always just like, well, I don't have anything to talk about. It's it's hard. Alright. It's hard to dig up.

Like, basically, if I wanted to execute the perfect show, I would need 16 different topics during the morning show that were all, like, great quality content for the day. And it would be easy if I could just dive into the dumb political news. I mean, it daily daily, it would be a piece of cake, but, you know, I'm in the wrong market to do it. So we'll be back with what other whatever other dumb, you know, tame, safe content I can find. That's right.

East Idaho Radio. Mhmm. Let's cue the outrage on the Victor Will show. And this one, surprisingly, the outrage I'm seeing is just from the average person going, why is this news? Meh.

You may have heard it during the little east Idaho news brief that popped up at the top of the hour there. BYU Idaho to sell Mountain Dew. Yeah. Caffeinated soda available at BYU Idaho, and this is a a big discussion, I guess. But people are mad that it's in the news.

I I feel like as someone who, when I was a kid, Didn't know anything about BYU Idaho till we took a field trip to the planetarium, and I was almost not allowed to go to the planetarium because I was wearing shorts. I feel as a person who went through that thing of back that this is news because a lot of people out there might not realize BYU Idaho's a different kind of school. K? Yeah. No.

When I was a kid, I think I was in, like, 1st grade. I I don't know. 3rd grade. I had never heard of a school that on a 90 degree day, you couldn't wear shorts at. And, apparently, it's just something that you were supposed to know.

I don't recall, you know, as part of the parental permission slip, it's saying, make sure your kids wear pants. But I get there and I get off the bus and they're like, oh, wearing shorts. Can't. They eventually, you know, just let me come in because I was a little kid and I wanted to go to the planetarium and come on now. But I don't know.

I I think the fact that you could buy Mountain Dew at BYU Idaho now is probably news in the city of Rexburg. That's you know, woah. What's happening to our town? What are they doing? What's next?

What's next? Red Bull? No. No. Don't worry.

They're still not selling energy drinks. K? I'm looking at a picture of, one of the fridges, and I see some Pepsi and some Mountain Dew. Alright? That's it's wild as it's getting, so don't worry.

Don't worry. Things are not completely spiraling out of control and going off the rails at BYU Idaho yet. Yet. What happens if you bring a Red Bull to BYU Idaho? I mean, now again, shout out to our listeners in Rexburg.

I just I thought that I'll admit. I thought that this was, like, not a big deal of a while ago. I I don't know. And I gotta say oh, okay. I'm not gonna say it.

Never mind. I was going to try to express the virtues of, instant coffee shooters. K? Mountain Dew has so much sugar in it. Mountain Dew is terrible for you.

Could I, Victor Welt, become the new caffeine spokesperson for BYU Idaho? We'll start bottling up Victor Wilt's cold instant coffee shooters. They're like low calorie, 2 ingredients. You got water, and you've got 100% pure instant coffee. Two ingredients.

That's all. No sugar. And, you know, I could make, regular, extra strong, light. It's much healthier than Mountain Dew. You can put my face on the bottle, my big dumb bald head.

Victor Wilt's magic elixir. I I don't know. Anyway, enjoy the Mountain Dew. It it is delicious at time. Don't get me wrong.

I like myself a nice Mountain Dew from time to time, but the people who are losing their minds about this online like, why are you talking about this? You've never been to Rexburg, apparently. I'm sure this is a major talking point in that city. It's gotta be. I've been there.

Alright? I got in trouble for wearing shorts there. Alright? But, again, we love our expert. Shout out to our listeners there.

And, I might have to have a Mountain Dew in celebration. Sounds like a lot of sugar, though. Been trying to behave myself, Trying to avoid the ice cream. Mountain Dew probably worse than ice cream. Let's talk art.

Yeah. Alright. So we've got some artists in the Ann Arbor area in Michigan. Very upset about a new graffiti artist who's rolled into their turf, and they don't think what this artist is doing is very artistic at all. Alright.

You've been in graffiti alleys before. Right? Like, I've I've been to a few, in Boise. We might even have a few around here. I don't know.

These are common places where people go to throw up a little bit of graffiti art. And there's a new person on the block in Ann Arbor. I would assume they go by the name farts, but that's all they spray paint up on the wall is just farts period. Over and over and over again all over the place. I'm sorry.

But as far as this program is concerned, farts can be artistic. Alright? That's what I say. And alright. I'm looking at one image here that says farts 8 times.

I would not say that the farts are covering up any type of spectacular art. K? I would understand the artists in Ann Arbor being upset if they threw up this amazing, you know, cool piece of graffiti and somebody wrote the word farts right over the top. But every instance that I'm personally seeing of the word farts is not covering anything other than like a million other just layers of graffiti that are just other words. So I I might be on the side of farts on this one.

I mean, they're showing some really cool street art on some of these, walls here, and all of that art, none of it says farts. So why get upset if farts is popping up in places that, I don't know, could use a little sprucing up? And, I mean, if I was walking through an alley and I saw the word farts over and over, I would laugh and take a picture, but that's just my sense of humor. So they believe that the person behind this is a middle aged dad named Ryan. They're not sure that that's the rumor.

Middle aged dad named Ryan. So it's somewhat about about my demographic here. Middle aged dad that thinks farts are funny. Well, shame on you. Actually not, Ryan.

I got your back, bro. Now if farts was, again, covering up great art, then it would be a shame. A shame upon the artist known as farts, but I think farts is fine for now. Farts are? Farts is?

Because farts is the artist. Is this the only situation where you could go farts is artistic? Classy 97. You guys are kinda strange. Well Yeah.

It's alright. Everybody's a little bit strange in their own way. Right? Except me. Nah.

I'm as normal as it as it gets. Nah. So Josh and Chantelle from Classy Walk In Here. And go ahead and tell the listeners the question you asked me. Go ahead, Josh.

It's been this it's been this ongoing conversation of who has a better watch tan line. It's it's real basic, and she asked our 14 year old daughter, and our daughter always sides with I've got the better thing. And, so it drives me nuts. Makes me so mad. She never sides with me.

She wanted another opinion. She said, who can we go ask? I said, let's go ask Victor. Hey. You walk in.

Who has the better Who has the better tan? And I'm like, yeah. Who's got a better watch tan line? And I'm like, wait. How how could one be better than the other?

Yes. Well, it's clear. Criteria. Clearly, mine is better. Well, that's what I ended up saying is, Chantelle's is better.

Because I've always liked niceties. Yeah. Yeah. Like, you know, I don't I don't care if Josh gets mad at me. But, Right.

And that's pity vote, and so I won't accept it. No. I did say in all fairness that I thought Chantel had the darker tan before I said hers was better. She has a darker tan. I think so.

Yeah. I think so. Which means my watch line stands out better, which means I'm the clear winner. Victorious, you lose. Victorious.

I like that word as you could probably guess. Yeah. I can't do a watch. I I don't know. They I don't like having it on my wrist.

Makes me, uncomfortable. I don't like it. I don't like bracelets. I don't like rings. I don't like watches.

Judging you? Why does it make you uncomfortable? It's uncomfortable. I don't like stuff on my my arms like that. How do you know what time it is?

A phone. Oh. It's 2020. Yeah. You know, who needs a watch anymore?

It's a fashion statement. Right? Well, mine is also, a step tracker. So I have all my fitness in there. It tracks my sleep.

But my phone does that too. No. It'll track fit it'll track steps, but it doesn't also read your heart rate. Yeah. But see, I don't know if I wanna be reminded of my unhealthiness Uh-huh.

Every single day. Fair. That's fair. I already have enough problems when I wake up. I look in the mirror.

Like, it reminds me I need to get up and walk around. Maybe I do need a walk. Yeah. Because it yeah. He yells sometimes and says move, and I'm like, shit.

It I thought you you made me nervous for a second there. I was like, woah. Oh, she said shove it. Alright. Well, anyway, you both have great watch tan lines.

But mine is better. This is riveting riveting stuff we've got going on today on a Thursday. I just wanna let listeners know the type of discussions we have around here. Yeah. Real real life happening behind the scenes, tan line comparison.

That's right. That's for media world. Yep. Keeping it real. If you lose your job, you're not going to increase your chances of getting it back or getting a new job if you threaten to blow the place up.

Is it up in, Canada here? Anyway, teenager who was fired from Walmart decided to threaten to place bombs throughout the store. Yeah. Decided to make a phone call in. I'm going to place yeah.

Now he's in jail. You want people to be able to call your previous employer and be like, hey. You know, how did little Billy work out when he was there? Well, he threatened to blow the place up, and he had to go to jail for a while for making terroristic threats. Yeah.

You know, we fired him prior to that for good reason. Yeah. Try to talk to your kids here. Teach them about restraint. You know, a little bit of restraint can go a long way.

I mean, most people's issues with restraint boil down to losing it online. You know? Saying something crazy on social media. Think if we talk to the youth, we could prevent them hopefully from taking it steps further. I mean, even doing it on social media, not recommended.

I've seen numerous articles about people missing out on jobs because of content on their social media pages. So keep it in mind. Try to keep those pages clean. Now, it's it's not only to your family and friends you might look bad. Prospective employers as well.

Just a reminder to check your spam folder every now and again. You never know what's in there. Like, I don't know what's in mine. I mean, let's open it up here. See if I spot anything interesting.

So far, looking like garbage. Like usual. Like every other time I check my spam folder. Why can't things work out for me like they did for this woman who just decided to check her spam and discovered, oh, she won $207,000 in the Michigan State lottery. Yeah.

She had signed up for, second chance drawing entries in the Michigan lottery. And apparently, I guess I didn't bother to call her. Just sent out an email, and well, I would assume most of the time Google is gonna go, oh, you won 100 of 1,000 of dollars. Yeah. That's spam.

That's fake news. But it was legit. It was legit. This is the kind of luck I could just never have. Never have.

I scroll through my spam and it's all gonna be trash but holy cow I get a lot of spam. I'm looking at the, the number of emails here. I should probably look through this. What if there's something important in here? You know, like, hey.

Did you want an interview tool? Or I I don't know. You never know what's gonna end up in spam. So you might wanna check your spam just because there might be free money in there. Can you imagine?

You need to get back to us within 7 days or the $500,000 prize is not yours, and that was from, you know, 2 weeks ago. Oh, jeez. I think they should have to call you. That's what I think. So, anyway, I'm gonna dig through my spam for a few.

I'll let you know if I find anything interesting. Good luck to you on searching through yours. Alright. I did not find in my spam folder any free money. I did not win the lottery.

It was a big disappointment. I'm sad. But I did find some content, I suppose. I got all these emails, and they're all from different people. Like, check it out.

Here's some stuff about Idaho. Look at it. We're gonna talk about Idaho Falls, America's second most desirable city to live in, Idaho Falls. Sorry, Rexburg and Pokey. You don't seem to be on the list.

I don't know what's up with that. Shame. So anyway, the criteria to determine what cities were the most desirable cities to live in break down to things like average income, violent and property crime rates, vehicle accidents, rent and living costs, and the percentage of people who live within half a mile of a park. Okay. I mean, I think I live in within half a mile of a park but it's gotta be the worst park in town what's what's even the name of the park in my neighborhood it's like industrial park or something it's there's all these there's like a big power station in the middle of it you guys know what I'm talking about you can see it off of hit road.

Hold on. Now now I gotta find the name of this park. Like, I think all that's there is maybe a baseball field and, like, some grass. I don't think there's even a playground because you probably you know? Alright.

Mike can say it. What is the name of that stupid park? Hang on. Oh, I thought it was called something crazier than oh, Sugar Mill Substation Park. Sometimes they just call it Sugar Mill Park but I think you gotta point out that the substation is there.

Now there is grass and there is a baseball field. I'll give it oh, there is some toys. I'm looking at it on the Google map. Those toys must be new. They were not there when my my kids were little.

Sorry, girls. Alright. I take it back. There's reasons to go to that park. Okay.

Back to I don't know about the data on this because it says the median home price in Idaho falls is $485,000. Is that accurate? I know our cost of living's gotten out of control, but that that seems steep to me. I was thinking it'd be more like 375, you know, which is still ridiculous. Average home square foot is massive compared to all of these others.

28 100 square foot, the average square footage of a home in Idaho. Okay. Eighty six attractions in Idaho Falls. Now I live in Idaho Falls. No offense here when I ask, what are the 86 attractions?

What do they say are attractions here? Riverwalks, museums. Okay. So I guess if you count, you know, parks, the mall. I'm just playing Idaho Falls.

I mean, we got Melaleuca Field. We've got the Mountain America Center. We've got a lot of attractions, k. We've gotta be better than number 1 on the list. Jefferson City, Missouri.

Jefferson City, Missouri. And Enid, Oklahoma. I ain't buying this list as these being the most desirable cities in America to live in. Now we do have a low crime rate, but we know that the wages in Idaho suck. The cost of living is through the roof.

So I'm I'm I don't know about this. It it looks like, we're terrible for fatal vehicle accidents. We're like the worst on the list, but we do have a lot of parks. A lot of parks. I still don't know how we ended up so high on the list with the, you know, cost of living.

It's gotta be the home square footage. They're they're really giving us a nod on that one. You got big houses. That's because people around here have tons of children. Alright?

You need 5 bedrooms when you have, that many children running around. What else did I find out about Idaho? Idaho, one of the states where people are unhappiest with their job. We come in 4th place. Yeah.

Yeah. Apparently, people not very happy at work around here. I'm guessing it's because the wages are garbage. You know, you've got people who work in skilled professions. I see these arguments online.

Someone will be like, I work in such and such industry. We shouldn't be paying these fast food workers the same amount that I'm working, then I'm making no what what's going on here is you're not making what you should. You know, the fast food workers are needing that kind of money to be able to actually live in this area where the cost of living has gone through the roof. Housing's outrageous. You should be making more money.

But that's how the man keeps us down. They keep us fighting with each other. Mhmm. Absolutely. What else do we got?

Idaho named as one of the best states for remote work. Another thing that would make people around here very happy because a lot of people are anti remote work. Well, we're 6th in the nation with the, now what are the criteria for determining whether a place is good for remote work? Because okay. Internet speeds and, cost of renting an apartment.

So we're as well as other expenditure costs. So we're better than, you know, places where it's really expensive to live, I guess. All of these states that are ranked good for remote work are places where the housing's not as bad as, like, California or New York. Doesn't mean it's great here. We're also one of the most dangerous states for mountain bikers.

Yeah. Dangerous trails. Got what they call double black diamond trails, and they're dangerous. All right. I don't know if that's a negative selling point.

I think for adrenaline junkies, people are gonna go, yeah. That's where I wanna be. That's where I wanna be. So I I had piles of these emails about Idaho's, you know, in this position for this and that. That that's what my spam folder was.

A lot of that kind of crap. So, anyway, I don't know if I made you feel better or worse about being here. But, hey, we're super desirable. Super desirable. Alright.

I'll be back in a minute. I'm gonna talk about some people here and a few that make me look like a very normal person when it comes to cats and that's even as a guy who's wearing a shirt with 4 cats on it that says hiss It was a, a present from our graphic artist in the building star for my birthday. And I finally remembered to throw it in the washing machine and then wear it because I'm forgetful. Four cats dressed up as kiss, and it says hiss. But I'm nothing compared to these people I'm gonna tell you about in a minute.

Alright? Hang on. Alright. Plenty of people around here like to call me crazy cat guy and things like that. How dare they?

There are people out there way worse than me. Look at this couple. Let's check out this YouTube video. We had a huge tour of the property. We did see like a handful of cats here and there.

We didn't really think a whole lot of it. Okay. So you're buying a house and you notice some cats around. Now if you're mean to good. Alright.

You know, there's a few cats wandering around. I mean, heck, even at my place, when my cats are inside, lo and behold, we got Yuri who pops up every now and again. That would be the cat that decided to start living around my place during the wintertime. I think the cat that I saw on the camera the other day was Yuri. I don't know, but there's a variety of cats that come around.

Cats are out there. Wouldn't think anything too strange of it. The realtor said, they don't really think they can catch the cats. They don't know what they can do. Is it gonna be a deal breaker?

And I said, no. Now that's kinda weird. I would think if there was a major cat problem, you could catch him. Alright? I mean, if you have a cat issue at your house, you pull a little trap out, put some food in it.

Cats like food, and then you can, you know, take them to a cat rescue or something like that, but whatever. I think it was like the first or second day we were here. We went out and fed them and I was like, oh, there's like 15 cats here. That was a shock when we moved in. I wanted to just start spending a lot of time with them.

15. Turns out there are actually 16 cats living on these people's property, and they love it. So I would start just hanging out in my driveway. I would literally sit out there when I would just sit with them. They know Okay.

Imagine you move into a place and there's 16 cats just hanging out outside. And I'm looking at video here. They're all orange. All of the cats look the same. It's very weird.

It's like a broken simulation. I think if there were 16 cats around my house, I'd probably hang outside too, you know, depending on what the weather's like. Over time, I kinda started adding stuff. Like, I would get some catnip or maybe I'd bring out some toys. Every night, I would come home from work and the cats would be in the driveway, like, kinda waiting for me.

Just come home 16 cats sitting there. Give us some of that catnip. Come on. Hook it up with some snacks. Jeez.

You know, I got 2 cats. 1 of which is small. It's a kitten. And the amount of food that that kitten can knock down, I can't imagine trying to feed 16 cats. It's crazy.

Oh. The previous look at that, Katie. Feeding the cat. This break is designed to drive, certain people I work with crazy, I guess. Nobody wants to hear you talking about cats, dude.

Well, I'm wearing a cat shirt, and we're watching cat videos. Alright? We're rocking and rolling. It's cat time. Cats, which they were feeding them out in this shed that was not the greatest.

Yeah. It wasn't protecting That sheds a dump. Them from the elements because like it was missing doors and windows. So from there it was kind of like our thought process was these cats need better shelter, and they also need to all get spayed and neutered. We Oh, jeez.

They weren't fixed? I mean, if you had 16 cats and, you know, let's say half of them are male. You got 8 cats. Just that shed must have reeked because male cats, you know, they're trying to mark their territory. They're out just spraying.

Oh, it would stink so bad. Yeah. You definitely gotta get them fixed. Oh, it reminds me. I gotta get the kitten fixed tomorrow.

Tomorrow as a matter of fact. You know, after blowing a bunch of money to get a arborist to come get her out of a tree, now I can spend more money to get her fixed. Much more important, I'd say, but I I couldn't leave the little kitten in a tree. We really wanted to create a cat room for these cats. You're gonna move 16 cats inside?

Cat room doesn't sound like cat shed. That sounds like a room inside of your house for 16 cats. That's a I've had 3 cats before, and it feels like you have an army of cats in your home when you have 3. It's it's crazy when there's 3 cats. 16 inside?

I ain't bad at all. I think we need to get a variety of cat bed sizes, and then we definitely need more bowls. I'm thinking we We need We need 16 cat beds, probably 32 bowls. We're gonna go ahead and just build onto the house. You just make it warm?

Right. Okay. Maybe they're doing it outside because they did say heaters. Definitely need some of these beds. Get some of those.

I think that's the one. That's a fancy rug. I've been looking at getting a new rug for my dining room for a while now. You know why I haven't? Because I'm cheap.

Yeah. I don't wanna, you know, spend the cash to get myself a nice new rug. That's a great dining room rug that they're gonna just have covered in cat pee. Let's get it. Yep.

I love it. We decided to make a little catwalk for them. Oh, how nice. And we ran some electric for some new plugs. No.

This is inside their house. Alright? This is inside of their house. Clearly, this is not a shed anymore. So the heated houses finally came in and the cats are already loving them.

When we first moved in, the cats I'm sorry, but I could only imagine I mean, they're not discussing the fact that they've got at least 16 litter boxes. Right? Or all these cats I mean, I did see a cat door. You really gotta hope they go outside. If you got 16 cats all trying to mark your territory, all the stinkiest room of all time.

I don't wanna say that they were a burden by any sense, but we were definitely overwhelmed by them. Got 16 cats. Kind of a scary experience just taking on so many at once and having to do so Oh my goodness. You should see the just city of cat trees. Watch for them at once.

Now we look at them as part of our family. I mean, I can't even imagine going outside and not seeing all my cats there anymore. So before when I was like, oh my gosh. I'm coming home to all these cats and what am I gonna do with them? Now it's just like I look forward to that every day.

I I'm guessing at least one of the people in this relationship. I'm I'm this guy, I think, is a great husband because you could tell the enthusiasm of the wife. She loves the cats. The guy's like, yeah. Yeah.

We need to get, you know, some more cat bowls. Sure. I love having 30 litter boxes around. Oh, man. You know, you're just scooping and scooping.

They just seem so happy and that just makes sense. Happy kitties. I do like they built a new cat house and in type they built a house outside for their cats. It's a whole house. It's it's bigger than some houses I've seen.

Just a house for these cats. Oh, we got somebody calling. Shut up about the cats, bro. K. Bear, you're live on my show.

Who's this? Hello? Oh, how dare you hang up on me? How dare you? Now we're watching more cat videos.

That's a pretty sweet cat house for sure. Alright. I shouldn't it's more like a tiny house. I don't want people out there thinking, you know, these stupid cats. I got this cruddy apartment.

It's it's kinda like a shed, a big shed. And, it it's pretty nice little cozy spot for the for the cats. Alright. This makes me wanna go play with my cats. I gotta turn this video off.

I'm gonna end up getting another cat if I watch oh, sick. There's people out there with 16. Why can't I have 3? Why not? Yeah.

Gotta talk myself out of that immediately. Alright. Let's see what people are whining about on Reddit. Alright. We'll go to the m I the jerk subreddit.

It's not really called that, but I'll get in trouble if I say the name of it. Starts with a. You can figure it out. Alright. Am I the jerk for not being happy at my friends buying a house?

Alright. No. I haven't read this. I'm totally winging it here because I'm multitasking. If you have any questions for me, call me.

208-535-1015. We can derail this and do ask me almost anything. Alright. So I broke up from a 10 year relationship. Me and my ex both owned a house together, joint mortgage, and we are, of course, having to sell the place so we can get our own places.

Due to the current UK housing market, it's been a low tiring and painful process since mortgage since mortgage rates here are abysmal. Our house was on the market from January and it only just sold in July. Alright. I've been looking at houses since March, finding everything that I liked and wanted in the house, daily checking updated websites for new ones that go on the markets. I've had a look at around 10 plus houses and a lot of the time they've been smaller or require a lot more work than the picture showed.

My issue is I need a house with a decent sized garden since I have a large dog and I'm a big fan of garden get togethers, barbecue, gardening, etcetera. I found a dream house on the same day as we got an offer on mine and my ex's house. It felt like a sign. It was within my budget and everything. I showed my couple friends this house, and they tagged along with me to the viewing.

They agreed it was an amazing house for the price and perfect for what I'm looking for in my criteria. I put an offer in there and then. I was going through all the hoops quickly, didn't want it to get away from me. They accepted my offer, and it was all hunky dory. But then a new offer swooped in and took it.

It was his friends. I I don't think this person's being a jerk for being mad at their friends for that. That's that's pretty messed up. Hey guys come check out this place oh it's perfect for me and the dog oh it's great yeah man this is awesome they watch him put in the offer they go home Alright. So that place is pretty cool.

Wonder what happened if we put in about a 15 grand higher bid. Outbid him. What do you think? He's, like, not gonna find out? Let's see.

So he called him and was, like, yelling at him, And they said, well, it wasn't your house. You can't be upset since it was up for anybody to get. And like you said, it was a perfect house. We'd be foolish not to go for it. And now they're annoyed at me for not being happy for okay.

If one of my friends did that to me, I don't think it's petty to be like, you know what? Get. You're not my friend anymore. Alright? We're not friends anymore.

You can get out. I I'd be mad. I'd be really mad about that. It's difficult trying to find a house to buy right now. And I this guy k.

I can empathize with this guy. He broke up with somebody. They owned a house together. Alright. I went through that situation a year ago.

I was terrified I was going to lose my house because I really like my house. My ex, she didn't want to live in, Idaho Falls. She wanted to move back to Pocatello. She didn't care about the house but I really like my house. My house is my my zen place.

So I did not wanna lose my house. And the interest rates are horrible. Like I had a great interest rate before because I refinanced during the pandemic when rates were like, you know, the lowest they've ever been or something I was on an awesome loan and I get it. It sucks to have to get a new loan right now I went from sitting so nice to not sitting nice My mortgage went way up and it's all just going to interest Oh, so frustrating So this guy, he's going through that crap right now. I can only imagine.

Then your so called friends swoop in and jack your dream place. Alright. Let's see what people are saying as far as comments back. Because my comment to this guy would be, like, don't talk to those people ever again. They're crappy friends.

They're terrible friends. Alright? Okay. Yep. The the top answer is they could have at least given you a heads up.

I definitely would stop being friends with them. Yeah. Everybody yeah. This is relationship ending if this happened to me. Yeah.

It's messed up. And there everyone seems to agree going through all the comments here. You are not the jerk here. Alright? These are a pair of underhanded, mean spirited individuals.

They aren't your friends. And trust me. I know it's tough to kick some friends to the curb. I've had to do it with a few people before. And every once in a while, I'll think about it.

And I, you know, I get feeling bad and, like, you know, maybe I could let him know, like, I'm not really mad anymore. I don't care. Moved along. But no. I'm not gonna give him the satisfaction.

Again, I've mentioned, you know, forgiving and forgetting. You can forgive, but you don't have to tell those people that you've forgiven them. Am I right? And even though it's tough, sometimes you gotta get rid of got get a get them out of your life. Get people who are bad for you out of your life.

Alright? Oh, man. That would that would infuriate me. What terrible friends. Well, they're not friends again.

So alright, I'm Victor Wilt. I'm gonna get out of here. I'll be back tomorrow morning doing the, live morning show. Got lieutenant Crane coming in for the traffic school feature powered by the advocates. Hope you'll join us for that.

And, yeah, I hope the rest of your Thursday goes good. I'm gonna pound coffee and try to accomplish something around here. I'm just I'm just beat for some reason. I don't get it. Whatever.
