The Viktor Wilt Show

If you got stuff in your fridge that looks like a treat, You should probably keep that under lock and key or, just make sure it's all used up. What kind of treats am I talking about? We're talking about Jell O shots. Alright. Imagine you're a kid.

You know, you're just a kid getting ready for school. You open up the fridge. Oh, look. A whole bunch of little individual servings of jello. I'm gonna bring them to everyone in class and a kid just, loads up his backpack with Jell O shots, brings them to his kindergarten class.

I mean, it wouldn't make much of a difference if it was sixth grade or kindergarten. These are still children. But, yeah. School and parents not very happy about this one. Let's see here.

They called it an isolated incident. Well, yeah. No kidding. How often is it that somebody, you know, a kindergartner brings jello shots for the entire class? I haven't heard of that one by myself, and I've been doing this show for a long time.

So, let's see. Some students were evaluated by the school nurse. EMT services transported some students to a local hospital out of an abundance of caution where their parents were able to meet them. And then they, confiscated the shots and, are working with the school to determine how the student obtained them. What how what do you think?

He opened up the fridge. He was like, oh, look at look at these. How handy. It's snack day. Oh my goodness.

Yeah. You you gotta be aware. You know, jello shots might be fun for you and your homies before you start playing a little bit of beer pong on the weekend. But if your kids can get at them jello, especially like in the, in the little cups, that's how kids get jello. Like, well, these don't have labels on them.

They're, you know, a little bit smaller than usual, but sure. Oh, this jello tastes kinda grody. What's going on here? Why do I feel weird? Yeah.

Don't let your kids get into the booze. K. Some parents or else you gotta, like, put the little poison stickers. Can you still get those? The little green stickers?

You throw those on your jello shots. Alright. And teach your kids green sticker. No. Don't consume.

Alright. When I go out and order a burger, I generally order no onion. Alright. Whatever. You can make fun of me.

I actually saw a meme just the other day that said, shut up and eat the onion. I'll eat them sometimes. I just don't like them on my burger. I like them on all kinds of stuff. I even like them raw.

You know, some red onion, all diced up can be very flavorful, but when it comes to a burger, it's just not my thing. If this guy wins a million bucks, I am really gonna kick myself. This guy is suing Whataburger for almost a million bucks over a no onion request. Yeah. Apparently, he asked for no onions and got some anyway.

So he accuses Whataburger of failing to act in accordance with the appropriate standard of care, which caused him to suffer personal injuries. Now what kind of injuries? Okay. He says he had an allergic reaction that needed medical attention. Alright.

Now listen. If you are allergic to onions, you shouldn't go to a fast food restaurant. K? The people making those burgers, they're gonna have onion juice on their hands, you know, on on their gloves, hopefully. Because they're picking up all the, you know, things like pickles and lettuce and tomato.

It that stuff's gonna spread around a little bit, but I don't know. He might win a million bucks because they don't have onions listed as an allergen on the Whataburger website. Can you be allergic to onions? I've never heard of anybody allergic to onions. I guess people can be allergic to, everything.

Right? Let's see. Yeah. Allergic reactions due to reactions due to onion ingestion are sporadic and limited to a small number of cases. So, I mean, it is possible, but you would think if it's that rare, the dude should've known.

If you've got, like, crazy dietary restrictions, you gotta sit at home and make your own food or something or go to a restaurant that does not have onions. Eat nothing but cake. I don't know. Most restaurants do have onions. So, anyway, as we get updates on this, I'll let you know if he was successful.

He's asking for monetary relief of over $250,000 but less than a million. He called the meal a manufacturing defect that was unsafe to eat. Yeah. I mean, I I wish I could have raised that kind of a ruckus and really shook down McDonald's the last time I ordered a burger with no onions, and it showed up with onions. You know what I did?

I shut up and ate the onion. So I've got these cameras all over my house because, you know, I'm paranoid. Why? I don't know. But every once in a while, someone will unexpectedly show up at my door, and it's very nice to be able to see who's there, you know, before I answer it.

Or if I'm not at home, just know. Okay. Who's prowling around my house? And, yesterday, I saw that, Crazy Jay showed up at my house while I was here at work. So I hit him up later.

I'm like, you come by my house, Crazy Jay. He happens to know where I live. And he's like, yeah. Yeah. Just, stop him by.

Now I didn't, like, holler at crazy j or something. I do prefer that people let me know before they're coming over. But, at least I didn't have a gator knocking at my door. You seen these videos going around? Gator just going door to door in a neighborhood.

And, I mean, it looks like it's knocking. It's just kinda crawling up the door. Let me in. You know, I got squirrels. That's the only wild animal I really need to worry about.

Every once in a while, I'll see a pack of raccoons on the camera, but, pretty much squirrels. Can you imagine living somewhere where you had to deal with gators showing up at your door? I mean, in the it's huge too. Huge and frightening. So cops showed up.

They wrangled the alligator. I guess, took it back out to the swamp. It's gotta suck to be a Florida cop. Right? Not only do you have to deal with the crazy people, but, yeah, you're on gator duty every day.

I would assume they have special training. You know, how to how to deal with a gator that's going door to door to door. Oh, that was kind of hard to say. Anyway, I'm getting rolling here. I'm waking up.

I wish it was later in the week than Tuesday, but whatever. We're gonna get through this day together and quickly. So if you need to get ahold of me, I'm here doing it live. Call me up. (208) 535-1015.

Is it really only Tuesday? How could this be possible? Because I feel like I didn't really have a weekend. That's how. Yeah.

I mean, the work I had to do over the weekend, you know, wasn't like crazy, but it went late. Went late, threw my schedule all out of whack. Anyway, I'll stop my complaining. Oh, I had to work on the weekend. Woah.

Alright. Well, at least we've got or most of us have a three day weekend ahead. Pretty stoked on that. Alright. I'm trying to bring up this information here on a naked five k because why not?

This is, you know, the Victor Will show. I see that we've got the Buck Creek streak five k. I gotta tell you about it. Oh, you've gotta be kidding me. Alright.

Open it in one window. It's like, alright. Hey. You know? Could you allow the ads on this page?

Sure. Now they want me to pay. Fine. I'll just Google it. Here's the thing, news.

If you try to get me to pay, every news story can be found somewhere else. So book, creek, streak, five k. Look at that. We'll just go right to the official website where you can get your tickets. Clothing optional.

Alright. Wow. They charge a lot to do this. Yeah. If you want to, do the five k trail run, $55.

50 5 dollars. Well, I guess for the fee of 55 to, you know, prevent yourself from getting arrested for running around naked to get the stamp of approval from the local authorities, $55, not too bad. Alright. I mean, do you win a prize or anything? Is Buck Creek Buck Creek sounds like a, a nudist resort.

Does it not? Where is this? Let's see. South Carolina, Chesney. Chesney, South car that's a long way to go for a, a naked five k.

I don't know. It it seems like there's so many things you could do in the buff that would be more exciting than running. You know? A good old fashioned hike even. I don't know.

Running. I just well, you know, to each their own. Some people like running. I wish I liked running because then I wouldn't look the way I do. I'd be a little bit slimmer, you know?

Oh, it was so embarrassing. So embarrassing Saturday. Getting ready for the classy prom. And I go to throw on my suit. Yeah.

Just figuring it'll be fine. I know I gained a little weight during the last six months because, you know, winter and whatever other issues that I was stuffing my feelings with food. Yeah. I go to put on my suit pants. Yeah.

That that that wasn't gonna happen. They weren't gonna buckle. So embarrassing. I guess I gotta go to the naked five k. Sorry, everybody.

Using PTO. I'm heading to South Carolina. I'm headed to Chesney. I'm gonna slim it down a bit. What up, people?

It's the Victor Wilt Show, Tuesday edition, tired edition. I even got lots of sleep last night. I mean, I must not have been good sleep based on how I'm feeling, but three day weekend ahead. What you gonna do for Memorial Day weekend? Camp?

Gonna head out and do some camping? At least in town, the weather forecast is looking pretty good. Usually garbage weather, Memorial Day weekend. We are still pretty much a week out. You know, the weatherman could definitely change his mind.

I mean, they're talking about if everything is correct here that I'm looking at by next week. Gonna start cooking a little bit. We'll get up into the eighties. I don't want it to be 80 yet. I've been enjoying this, you know, mid sixties.

I don't mind a little bit of rain. Well, I guess I do need to mow my yard. I did the front yard one time. It already looks bad again. And the back is gonna be a nightmare because I haven't done it at all.

So it's, it's quite the zoo back there. Usually, I've got a little bit more motivation for yard work. I don't know what's up with me this year and last year. Just do not wanna deal with it. I don't wanna deal with anything.

I don't know. Maybe I need to make some changes to my existence or something. Because I'm not even motivated to do things like, play guitar. I just wanna sit there. What what is my problem?

Okay. Exercise would probably help that. It's anxiety. Okay. I'm babbling here.

Supermarket customers warned over monster strawberries. Okay. What's wrong with them? Yeah. They they poisonous or are they just big?

Let's see. Strawberry lovers being warned a bumper crop for 2025 has left them too big to fit in their mouths. Why is this a warning? This should be, you know what what's the word I'm looking for? Just an announcement.

We're here to announce strawberries are 20% larger in 2025. It's a celebration. Well, I guess it all has to do with the weather and sunshine conditions and things like that. So if you, hit up the grocery store, you might be seeing gigantic strawberries. And beware.

I guess you're gonna have to not eat them in one bite. Why is this a warning? Probably because Karens will freak out about everything. If people can find a reason to complain, the strawberries are too big. I I can see it.

Alright. Better to get the warning out there in advance. I think they're selling this wrong. This is bad marketing. You gotta sell this as a good thing.

Giant strawberries available now. Come on. Oh, this is out of The UK. No wonder. They don't get the marketing.

Yeah. You gotta make that you gotta make that dough. Alright. We'll be back with freak news in a minute. And we're rolling.

Freak news. What up, people? Alright. There's a lot of stuff about naked people in the news. You know, we already talked about the South Carolina naked five k run.

Seemed like every weird news tab I open something to do with naked people. Let's start with the naked attorney. Alright? This was another South Carolina story. This guy's an attorney.

Come on, dude. You gotta know about the law. You can't be naked in the streets, middle of the night, just screaming and yelling. I mean, it sounds kind of empowering, but you're gonna end up in jail. So Williams McCloyd junior, fifty three, charged with public disorderly conduct.

Yeah. You're just kinda walking down the road screaming. Just just rocking shoes. So they confronted him, and he began rambling incoherently. They're asking him who he is.

He kept saying Superman. So since he would not give them a real name, they placed what what do you mean? They said due to the fake names and not having identification, he was placed under arrest. What about the screaming in the streets naked? While en route to jail, he continued to yell about vague historic events as well as various people in his life.

I'm guessing that he was under the influence of something. Yeah. Just just guessing. You know, you you gotta be careful, people. Alright.

The boozing can lead to problems. And I I don't know. This guy sound like he was on more than booze. So drugs are bad. Okay.

Kids. You know, there's there's help out there. Don't wanna end up like this attorney. At least he can defend himself, I guess. You know, you're gonna have to end up with a public defender and, you know, you have all that stuff.

Just don't do drugs. Stay home. Alright. I know I had another oh, no. This isn't really an important story, but I just just to go to show you how many naked stories are popping up.

This one is titled, you've probably done karaoke before, but have you done it naked? Most people are probably gonna answer, well, of course not. Well, I know one guy who has done karaoke naked multiple times and not at home. What guy do you think that might be? Yeah.

This guy. It's very satisfying to scream Pantera wearing only a cowboy hat. K? I've said that many times on this show. I've yet to have anybody call me back and say, Victor, I took your advice.

I did naked, karaoke and did some Pantera only wearing a cowboy hat, and I did feel, you know, very happy in life. But you gotta make sure to do this at the appropriate place. This article was about somewhere in The UK, but I think that most nude resorts have activities. You know? Might be, pool volleyball or naked karaoke.

So, you know, get down to, the Shangri La in Arizona. There you go. New River. Alright? You're welcome.

And I don't need to hear the details, but just if, you know, that's a life changing experience for you, let me know because, it it is a pretty good time. Okay. I'll stop talking about naked people and instead talk about, I guess, this army battalion that has banned the use of profanity. Where is this? The forty third adjutant battalion issued a memo last month instructing military personnel to refrain from uttering expletives.

Yeah. Profanity free campus. You know, I'm sorry, but our soldiers who are potentially, you know, getting shipped off, risking their lives to keep us safe. I personally feel they should be able to drop the occasional F bomb. Okay.

You know, just saying we're heading into Memorial day weekend, you know, paying tribute to those who we've lost. And, I I don't know. I think people who are working to keep us safe should be able to swear. They're adults. And they're like, well, this kind of naughty language does not align with the army's core values and undermines the integrity of our soldiers and our formations.

Okay. That would be fine if this was, like, fifty years ago. K? Fire up Twitter, fire up the news, and see how our politicians behave in this day and age and the type of language they use. K?

When you have, you know, like, everybody out saying these crazy things and certainly using bad language, let the soldiers swear a little bit. K? It's not gonna lead to, I don't know, the collapse of the military. I guarantee that there there's bad language, being used across our armed forces because, yeah, they're adults, and that's just how people talk. They shouldn't be held to FCC language standards.

Alright? I mean, I don't think really broadcast TV or radio should be anymore either due to the way entertainment has changed in this day and age, but whatever. Hey. Hey. What's up, Jay Davis?

Welcome to the studio. Oh, that mic sounds so bad. Crack a lack and just I think it's it's the cord. Right? Yeah.

Where where's our engineer to, rewire and fix that? What's he doing? You know how to work a solder? No. I I I've never used a solder.

Time to learn. Will you teach me? No. You can just try it out and see how many times you burn your fingers. No.

I'd I'd like I'd like some real training. You know, it doesn't tend to work well when I just dive into things and try it. Fine. I'll watch YouTube. There you go.

I'll watch a YouTube video. Better than me anyway. Well, Jade, I was just going to tell people about the big event we've got coming up on June 2 because I was talking with, Scott for, who dropped off a bunch of canned goods at the farmer's market on Saturday. Well, thanks, Scott. He said he was gonna join me at, what's the name?

Rose Hill? Yeah. Rose Hill Cemetery, to help do a little bit of Memorial Day cleanup. So this weekend's Memorial Day weekend. Everybody brings out, you know, flowers and stuff and, you know, flowers don't last forever.

So, you know, we're gonna help out the cemetery crew get out, and, we're we're all over the place, really. Yeah. I'm gonna be at Rose Hill. Peaches is gonna be at Fielding Fielding Memorial. Fielding Memorial.

The hawk's gonna be out at the Rexburg Cemetery, Classy at the Blackfoot Cemetery, and z 1 0 3 at the Shelley Cemetery. And I guess you're probably gonna be popping around till y'all all over the place. So, Scott was asking me, you know, like, where do we meet up? And I'm like, I don't know. Like, I would assume there's more information about cemetery has what they call the house, and that's generally where, the the cemetery section will probably be.

They'll give instructions and that type of stuff. So Alright. So if anybody just wants to come help out, we're gonna be doing this on June. I'll be there at 8AM. Some of the other cemeteries are working 7AM.

Yeah. Blackfoot 8. Right. Rexburg 10. Yep.

So Those Rexburg guys don't wanna get started too early. Yeah. Well, I I figured I'm up and at them. I get out there at eight. Eight sounds good.

And then that's before it gets hot out anyway. Because it I was looking at the, forecast coming up. They're talking about eighties again, and you know me when it comes to hot outside. I'm just as cranky about that as cold outside. Unhappy fool.

I know. Nothing's good enough for me weather wise. So, anyway, a big thank you to everybody for teaming up with us on this. If you wanna join us, everyone is welcome. We'll be hanging out with some of the crew from Teton Auto Credit who's, teamed up with KBAR on the memorial cleanup at Rose Hill And Fielding Memorial.

So, yeah, just come by. It'd be great to see you. A good cause and all the all the more, the merrier. Yeah. It gives you the feel goods.

You know? So, let's make the cemeteries look nice. And, get out of the house too. There you go. Yeah.

Getting out of the house is good. Live on kay bear morning. Happy Tuesday. What up? It's Victor Wilt.

Alright. I where did that article go? Okay. There we go. I wanted to talk about flying cars.

We have talked about flying cars before. How I personally don't believe flying cars will ever be a common thing because people are too stupid for this kind of technology. Alright? Driving in a normal car is already one of the most dangerous things you can do. And I don't know if you paid attention to the news recently, but air travel in general, things ain't going very good right now.

So, yeah, let's go ahead and avoid just randos in flying cars up in the air. Alright. If we can't fly into Newark without, you know, potentially being involved in a collision. You just can't have random people flying around in the sky. They ain't trained well enough.

Yeah. There's a company called AirCar in a very creative name saying that their first mass produced flying car is going to go on sale in early twenty twenty six next year. I'm looking at it. It I mean, if you thought the Cybertruck was kinda stupid looking, wait till you see this flying car. I mean, it it it's not shaped like, you know, like a Cybertruck.

Doesn't have that Nintendo sixty four look to it. It just looks kinda stupid in my opinion. And I like stupid vehicles. I'm not anti stupid vehicle. Oh, some of the, new promo images make it look a little bit cooler.

But still, they're not gonna allow these. It's just not gonna happen. Maybe it will. Oh, jeez. How long till somebody's flying car crashes into somebody's house?

Probably day one. I'm sorry, but society is not prepared for this. That's why we haven't had flying cars already. It's not like this is difficult technology to make something fly. They haven't made them because we haven't earned the right as people to have flying cars.

We most many of us shouldn't be driving regular cars. Got some idiots out there. Alright. Anyway, they're gonna cost, like, a million bucks too. So, you you know, sorry.

You and me, we ain't getting a flying car anytime soon. Breaking Benjamin awake. You know, I guess. I mean, I I am. Doesn't necessarily mean I wanna be, but alright.

We're up and moving. What's happening, people? You having a good Tuesday so far? I hope so. Hope the week goes great.

Hope it goes by quick. Hope the weekend arrives in the blink of an eye. I'm ready for it. I'm gonna relax a little bit this weekend after the busy one last weekend. You know, I was scrolling the local news.

Every once in a while, I end up in, you know, regional news, checking out news from Bozeman. For some reason, there was an article about the Butte archives celebrating the Butte Elks Club and Giant Butte Elk. I'm looking at a picture of this from back in the day. This is crate this is a 60 foot tall elk that straddled one of the streets in Butte. This thing was awesome.

Yeah. Cars could drive underneath it. Eventually, they decided, I guess, to, move or take it down. And, I mean, this is a gigantic, ridiculous elk, so they, ended up just having to, you know, take it down, rip it apart. And what did they say they did with it?

Dismantled it, mixed the plaster with copper ore, and then sent the pieces to the smelter. Oh, that's a bummer. I think we need more weird stuff like this. Giant elk in the middle of the street. How did everything get so boring?

You know? Anyway, I mean, we've got a fountain. It's pretty cool. It's not a 62 foot elk, but it it's nice. But I'm I want something wacky.

You know? They got a fairly large potato in front of the potato museum. That's about the weirdest thing we have around here. Right? Anything else?

Nothing coming to mind? Well if you have any ideas I don't know submit them to the city maybe they'll maybe they'll blow some dell on it you never know but yeah look up the the picture of this ridiculous elk it's so crazy looking to me. I think it would be so fun because you roll into Butte and Butte is just super boring. Right? You roll into Butte and you see this.

You'd be like, alright. This town might be cool. Then maybe you find out, oh, okay. It's just Butte, but still something. Well, hello, my people.

It's the Victor Will show. Alright. Almost 09:00. Morning's going by for me fairly quickly. Hopefully, for you as well.

Hope you're having an awesome week. I was just reading about Lagoon set to open for the summer season, and they're gonna have three new rides and a saloon. The saloon at Lagoon. How fun. Are they still going to allow you to b y o b?

It's the craziest thing that I've ever seen. FAQ and it is perfectly acceptable to walk into Lagoon with a cooler just packed to the brim with double IPA. Let me check their their FAQ for 2025 because you think if they're opening a bar in Lagoon, they're not gonna want people bringing their own in. Let's find out and then I'll tell you about these new rides. Let's see here.

Am I allowed to bring coolers and or outside food or drink? Yes. However, it is not allowed to be brought into Lagoon's beer garden and restaurant, and alcohol cannot be left in a cooler unattended. Coolers and alcohol are not allowed inside Laguna Beach. So pretty much everywhere else, you can have your cooler packed to the brim.

It's perfectly fine at Lagoon. Isn't that weird? At Utah's premier amusement park, I guarantee Disneyland don't allow that. Oh. Alright.

What else do we have? Oh, yeah. New rides at Lagoon. So they got one that, Basically, they're opening a new area. And it's funny.

It's a family area called The District, and that's where the bar is. Because I guess after your kids have driven you crazy all day, you just can't take it anymore. You gotta go have a cold one. And it's a Utah beer. Okay.

So, anyway, the family area called The District is described as a steampunk themed area where world inventors are revered and their creations come alive with the of grinding gears and the hiss of steam. So they got a a ride called the Time Tinker, a family thrill ride that brings high flying excitement and mesmerizing motion. Says four interlocking arms rotate in fast synchronized orbits that carry eight gondolas full of riders. Get yourself some exhilarating airtime. Then they got another one called Steamworks, which puts a new twist on the classic top spin ride with no inversions.

So it's, I guess, for those afraid to go upside down. And then there's, like, a kid's helicopter ride called rivets and rotors. So, yeah, new rides. That's fun. I haven't, even been to Lagoon since they opened that, new ride inside that, you know, mountain looking thing.

You know, last new ride at Lagoon, I think, I went on was the, cannibal roller coaster, which is, best roller coaster I've ever been on. I wonder if I got myself in better shape, if I'd be able to handle rides again, or if I'm just too old. It's really a bummer when you start getting to be too old for stuff. Things are just rough on you the older you get. I mean, jeez.

Don't get enough sleep, you feel like you got hit by a bus. Alright. I shouldn't even mention sleep. I'm gonna go get some coffee. That's what I'm gonna do.

We got Peaches in the house. Yeah. Alright. Peaches, did you hear my break earlier where I talked about the 60 some odd foot elk that used to, straddle the street in Butte, Montana. I could hear you from the, Cannonball studio Okay.

Talking about it. Well, a listener called and suggested, since we don't have anything like that around here, and I I think we could use a little more excitement. Let me guess. Another height joke. That's right.

Wow. Who would've thought? They're gonna How original. We're gonna get a 60 tall Peaches. Peaches is tall.

We should give him a big animal. I'm funny. Well, yeah. And you gotta have a big blue ox with you. Sure.

In a lumberjack outfit, big ax. And then the next time I meet a listener, it goes, woah. How tall are you? And I go, I'm six nine. They go, I have a cousin who's seven two.

Maybe he could use a giant armadillo as well. So, anyway, I just wanted to let you know about that. What did what did you say you had for the program? Would you consider, Idaho Falls to be an artsy city? No.

And I saw where there was an article or something talking about Idaho Falls being an artsy city. Islands.com. Islands Com. Idaho's gateway to Yellowstone and the Tetons is an artsy city with a fun downtown and scenic river walk. Somebody posted in the Idaho Falls subreddit, an artsy city.

Since when are we an artsy city? The Green Belt is great and all, but it feels like quite the stretch to call us artsy. Yeah. You're like, there is art in Idaho Falls. We have, you know, music and theater.

We have the art museum and things like that. But when I think of an artsy city, that's like Boise? I don't I don't even know if I'd go with Boise. You know? That's hipster.

Hipster can be artsy, though. Yeah. I would be thinking New York City, you know, or something like that or LA. I I don't know. I still, I mean, no.

No. I wouldn't consider those parts. What the Internet says I wouldn't consider LA an artsy city unless you're going to, like, LACMA, which is, you know, the art museum or those little museums next to it like, what's the one called? The Getty. And then there's a a few others in there too.

Okay. Here's a random road. Here's a random thing I found from culturaldata.org. Okay. The top 40 most arts vibrant communities in America, Twenty Nineteen.

So 2019. It's a little bit old. But, yep, number one, New York City. Number two, San Francisco. Three, LA.

I mean, they're all big cities. Yeah. San Francisco, I would consider that to be an artsy city because everything for some reason is so creative over there. I mean, the they have, like, the windiest road for no reason. Have you seen that?

Yeah. I have. Yeah. I have seen that. The the the painted ladies.

Is that what they're called? The full house houses? Maybe we need to find the small towns because Was Was it the Full House houses? Yeah. Yeah.

That was San Francisco. No. No. I'm trying to think of the ones that are, like, all in one row that people flock to. I forgot.

I don't I don't think Full House was in the middle. Oh, was it? I think it was. Okay. And, like, the missus Doubtfire house?

That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Remember that shameful movie? Mhmm.

You know? Shameful. It's a shameful movie. You know? Clearly, they're just trying to shove it in our faces.

Robin Williams. Gone too soon. Alright. Who's that guy? Here we go.

We're I found the best smaller cities for creatives. So number this is not a small city. Atlanta? I would not classify that as a small city. I guess by the standards of something like LA or New York.

Sure. And they're talking about Atlanta proper. 500,000 people. You know, they've got Miami on here. K.

Miami itself, 400,000, but I bet the Miami Metro Area is multiple million. These are not small cities. No. These are some of the biggest powerhouses when it comes to The United States. I mean, Portland, Oregon, Pasadena.

See, they're like, oh, Pasadena is a small city. Only a 35,000 people live there, but it's part of this massive metropolitan area. Oh, Pasadena is where they have the rose parade and all that. Yeah. Yep.

I mean, I'm not saying these, aren't, you know, artsy places. I would say Yeah. They're not small town, California. That's definitely an artsy city. Let's see.

Alright. Now I may have found a list of actual, small towns because we've got, like, coming in at number, 28, Rapid City, South Dakota Oh, yeah. Which I I don't know if I've ever been there. But Shout out South South Dakota. Yeah.

Let's see if we've got any Idaho on here. Alright. Let's get down to the, the top cities. This list, the way it operates is very annoying. Camel bets.

Missoula, Montana coming in at number 10. I haven't spent a a lot of time in Missoula, but I think it's known as being a pretty artsy place. Let's see. Dude, this list is driving me crazy the way it works. Alright.

Dude. Is it one of those slideshows that's like a new page? It's sorta like a slideshow, but not really, and it just jumps around. Okay. Yeah.

The top five, Ithaca, New York, Medford, Oregon, Boulder, Colorado, Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. There you go. Santa Fe, I could see, like, Sedona on there or something like that. Again, there there is art to be found here, but I would not call Idaho Falls an artsy city, personally. You know?

The the downtown, I do like quite a lot, but there's not enough to it to consider all of Idaho Falls artsy. Like, where we're located, you might as well call it the slums, you know? Me and Peach is that's right. Me and Peach is living in the ghetto. Right.

That's that's what Jade told me years ago. The the the art that I have is the tagging on the building behind the, the alleyway there. Yes. The more artsy we get, the more posts I see about it in the Life of the Idaho Falls Facebook group. Gangs.

There's gangs everywhere. There's gang arts. That's what it is. We're artsy for the gangings. Oh, okay.

It's that graffiti that makes us artsy. Wow. I wonder what that word is. When are they gonna start doing the tours? You know?

The oh, yeah. Take people out. This piece here was ultimately discovered after his arrest to be drawn by 15 year old I I don't know. Very generic name. We we we should start that.

Do the, the K Burr dudes present, the Gaines of East Idaho tour and take them to I bet that most of these tags popping up are just teenagers. Yeah. It is. Yeah. And that's what people are saying in the comment section because you got these, you know, half half the crowd is going, it's gangs.

They're showing up here. MS 13, you know, that whole thing. And then the other crowd's like, no. It just happens this time of year because, you know, winter's over. Yeah.

It's nice out. And kids are mischievous. You know, I hate to break it to people, but kids are mischievous, and they do naughty things. I've only used spray paint once. And you would know if it was me tagging because everything would be extremely high.

Yeah. Yeah. It was not me doing that, but I'm savvy. But, like Were you indoors? Yeah.

Also no. Slightly. I was gonna say that explains a lot. Slightly. I was in a, I was in a cave.

Yeah, Peaches. You're not supposed to use spray paint in an enclosed space. Alright. Well, I wasn't the only one. Okay.

So there was a whole group of idiots. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, there's tons of, idiots who have gone down there and done that. Oh, shame on you, Peaches.

That's vandalism. But that was when you were a kid a long time ago. Right? Yes. Yes.

No. There was a there was a hike that I did in LA that I said do that. Oh, that's okay. The statute of limitations is up. Yeah.

Alright. Well, anyhow, you know, go check out the artistic things in our community. Go to the art museum. You know, go down to the, Idaho Falls Farmers Market. There's a lot of, artistic stuff going on there every Saturday, 9AM to 2PM.

Would you say there? I'm I'm sorry. Would you say Pocatello is more artsy than Idaho Falls? I'd both put it on par. I'd put it on par.

Pocatello's a lovely bit of artsy. Yeah. Pocatello is a college town. But I'd say as far as calling it artsy, I'd I'd say they're about the same. You know?

I wouldn't think of Pocatello as artsy. You know? Even though there there's art to be found, for sure. There's art to be found in every city. Well, Jade just walked in, and then he didn't give me any work, and he left.

It was amazing. It was fantastic. Oh, yeah. He probably knows I have tons of work to do that I have not been getting completed so far today. It's okay.

I'll just get, hollered at by Katie Lee and Justin and everybody else who's waiting around on me to deal with music on our other radio stations. Yeah. You wouldn't believe the piles of music I go through. Gotta try to figure out what the country music fans wanna hear on one zero five The Hawk. Gotta figure out what the, I don't know, mainstream music fans in general wanna hear on z one zero three and try to find appropriate music for our community because, well, sometimes people around here, they get a little bit uptight about content and language.

So gotta be very careful. Otherwise, it would just be a piece of cake. Piece of cake. There would be so much more rap music on z one zero three, but those rappers, naughty, naughty. Anyway, hope everyone's doing well so far.

I'm hanging out, doing the show live. We don't have anything to give away this week or anything like that. So, yeah, just if you feel like calling me just to chat or you wanna hear a song or something, I am here doing my live thing. (208) 535-1015. Had a good weekend.

You know, I was out yesterday morning because Jade gave me permission to sleep in after the busy weekend. We had the Classy ninety seven second chance prom at the waterfront Saturday night. Lots of fun. Turned out great. Packed house.

Lots of k Bear listeners there. It was nice to, see all of you, and thanks to everybody who stopped by and said hello. Then the Seether Show Sunday night, great turnout for that. Took a lot of selfies with people. It was great to see everybody.

I hope you had a good time at that. Lots of good shows coming up, coming to the region. Now we don't have any rock shows coming up here in East Idaho for a while, which is unfortunate, but you can always head down to Boise or Salt Lake or even places like, Bozeman, Missoula. You know, great time of year to take a road trip before everything dries out. I bet it's beautiful taking that drive up to Bozeman or Missoula right now because everything is just so green and nice.

Now I don't know if I have any shows on our concert calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar for Bozeman or Missoula, but we've got a lot for Boise, Salt Lake City, and, such. Like, tonight, you wanna go see some black metal? Revolution concert house. This show would be fun. Cradle of filth.

Yeah. I've never have I seen them live? Seems like I might have way back in the day, but I don't know if that's true. Maybe I'm thinking of Demuborgir. I know I saw them a few times, but, anyway, some of the other shows coming up soon would include Tesseract on the twenty seventh at the Metromesical in Salt Lake.

Oh, this show would be a blast. Napalm, Death, and the Melvins. You wanna talk about a crushingly heavy show? May 29. What day of the month is that?

Thursday. Thursday's rough. Alright. Well, I guess I'll have to skip out on that one. Hardy's gonna be in Boise and Salt Lake.

You wanna go check out a a mix of rock and country. Black Key's gonna be in Boise on the thirtieth. Got Rivers of Nile coming up, Lords of Acid, Ministry, Sleep Theory with Nevertell. Yeah. There's some pretty good stuff coming up.

I'm still kicking myself for having missed between the buried me and protest the hero. That would have been awesome. Pierce The Vale with sleeping with sirens, gonna be at, the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater, June Twentieth. Primus, Sandy Amphitheater, July Seventh. Oh, the summer allowed tour.

I think I might have to try to hit that one up. That's July 8, which what day of the week is that? Tuesday. But that one, you got kill switch engage, Parkway Drive, I Prevail, Beartooth, the Amity Affliction, the Devil Wears Prada, Alpha Wolf, and Kingdom of Giants. That's a crazy festival lineup.

That's gonna be at, Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater as well. Man, I might have to go. It's so hot out there at that time of year. It'd be worth it. Alright.

Since I know we're heading into the nicer time of the year where people travel, I like to do my best to give you horrible travel news to, you know, get you a little bit worked up and frightened about your upcoming trip. And we've talked plenty recently about, air travel conditions in general. Like, you do not wanna fly into Newark right now. Newark, New Jersey. Hey.

You heading to New York City? I don't know. Pick a different airport. Fly to Hartford and drive or something because Newark is just a disaster right now. I don't know what's going on there.

But it's not just, you know, problems with air traffic control. You know, I mentioned earlier that, a plane had to stop from taking off mid takeoff to avoid a collision. Well, then you got the, passengers showing up all sick. There was some guy with measles just hanging out at the airport for hours. Can you believe measles is a thing again?

We should not have a measles outbreak. Alright? And please, I know it's tough when you're sick and you got a vacation planned or travel or whatever. I don't know what you need to do to prevent spreading measles because measles was basically not a thing for pretty much my entire life. It just is now.

So I don't know if you need to mask up or what, But, if you can avoid traveling, k, stay away from the airport when you're sick, please, for the sake of everybody else. Seems like every time I travel by plane, I catch, you know, COVID or something. And some kind of, you know, horrible stomach bug just vomiting. Yo. It'd be dirty.

Alright? I mean, maybe you gotta spend that little bit extra to get them potentially refundable tickets because you never know. Never know. You might end up, like, violently ill. And they're like, well, I don't wanna be out $500.

I'm just gonna go. And next thing you know, bunch of dead old people. Alright? Or just people, you know, rocking the measles, which, yeah, measles can kill you. So if you're dealing with a high fever, cough, runny nose, watery red eyes, and you got red spots all over yourself, get to a dock and stay home.

Alright, everybody. I'm Victor Wilt. Before I go, just wanna let you know, if you don't live in an HOA, you might wanna take a look at replacing your lawn with, you know, native plants and things like that. I think lawns are kind of useless. They look nice, but that's about it.

And if you get yourself some, native plants going on, you could be drawing in all sorts of wildlife, helping out the bees, and stuff like that. But, man, if you're in an HOA, you're gonna have a bad time trying to get rid of your lawn. You would think that if you'd I I don't know. Kept it looking nice, they'd be fine with you doing whatever. Right?

But, no, not HOAs. I don't think I would ever live in a place with an HOA. I don't like people telling me what to do. If I wanna go paint my house, neon green. It's my house.

Do what I want. Yeah. I was reading about this, family that they should have known better, honestly. They live in an area where they've got an HOA. There's rules.

But they decided to, replace their lawn with, native black eyed Susans, Joe Pye weed, asters, and cone flowers. And, they started, yeah, having a bunch of, wildlife show up, even snakes. Now I don't know if I want snakes in my yard. I got cats, though. Right?

They deal with snakes. So, anyway, they, of course, got the, you know, letter from the HOA, like, what are you doing? What's wrong with you? You we're gonna we're gonna fine you to the end of time. You put your lawn back in.

Lawns are weird, aren't they? You know? When did they become a thing and why? Because they are pretty pretty useless. They use up a lot of water.

I don't know. Anyway, maybe if enough people fight their HOAs, we could see some changes to the HOA. But you've got those neighbors. They want to live in a neighborhood where everything looks the same, and that's fine. It's not my cup of tea.

I don't like just everything looking the same. I like a little bit of unique architecture and color and fun stuff like that. So, you know, to each their own on that one. But, Yeah. Even though I'm like, you should replace your lawn with natural do you think I'm gonna rip my lawn out?

I can't even get myself motivated to go out and mow the yard. Now part of the problem is it's been raining for like a week, but there's probably time that I could get this done. I just can't do it. Lazy and I suck. So I guess it's time for me to, go pound some coffee and at least try to get my job done.

If I can get if I can get that done, I'm good. If I can do my my work, but I'm already failing on that today. So I'm gonna leave, and, I'm gonna come back at noon with peaches, and we're gonna have a great noon hour of madness and mayhem. Alright? Thank you for listening to this show today.

I appreciate all of you. I hope you're doing well, and, I will talk to you soon. Have a great rest of your Tuesday. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show. This program is a production of Riverbend Media Group.
