#0164 - Tokyo Gets a 4-Day Workweek, I Get A Big Fat NO from Jade. - 02/27/2025
All settled in. Good morning, and welcome to the Victor Wilt Show today. Appreciate you tuning in, hanging out with me, doing the thing. I guess the thing being listening. Alright.
Hopefully, we'll have a good content day ahead. You know, I've only started digging. Yeah. I'll do my best for you. Alright?
Let's see here. What's something you see many people do that you'll never do? Okay. Gonna be a little bit of a rebel. Stand your ground.
Not doing these things. I wonder what kind of things they are. Haven't even looked through the responses here. Let's see how many of these things that many people do that you'll never do that I would also never do. Okay.
Littering, throwing trash out onto roads and streets. Yeah. I wouldn't do that. I mean, come on. Keep a plastic bag in your vehicle, and next time you pull in to get gas, chuck it in the garbage can.
I think that that's probably easier than littering. I I don't know. I mean, I guess rolling down the window and just chucking stuff out isn't hard, but chucking it in a bag and then only having to throw the bag out once. Yeah. I don't get that one.
Alright. Let's see. Cheating on people. Yeah. Don't do that.
Jeez. It's one of the worst things you could do to somebody. Okay. Well, nobody wants to think about that early in the morning. Jeez.
Okay. My bad. This is why you preview the content. Leaving your shopping cart in the middle of two parking spots instead of walking 10 feet to the nearest place to properly put them. Yeah.
You know, Peaches has mentioned many times, the Woody Show, radio show out of LA, they got a guy who goes out and shames people publicly for not putting their carts away, puts them on the Cart Narcs show. So, yeah, put your cart away. Come on. Okay. Here we go.
Now we're getting into things that aren't just like your your dirtbag. Cave diving. No way. I've seen that movie, The Descent, too many times. You ever been in a cave?
It's creepy. Can't imagine, like, having to hook a rope to a wall, go down some kind of a, you know, deep cave shaft. Oh, it's horrifying. No. Thanks.
I'll stay on the, outside of the earth. Okay. Some of these are just sad, so I'm not I mean, I I guess I could mention this because I see this happen on my social media feed and it makes me so sad. Dumping animals, like, seriously. A pet's a commitment.
K? And there are people who can help you out. You know, you can hit up an animal foster. Just dump an animal. Oh, that makes me furious.
Makes me so furious. Fillers and injections. I don't know. I personally not had the desire for that, but I don't know. I'm I'm I'm not gonna judge if somebody wants to get that done.
It's your body. Should I, plump these lips out? Mhmm. Oh, can you imagine if I went totally freak show with, like, plastic surgery? I was for some reason, a horrible image of myself popped into my head.
It was quite hideous. Parking illegally in handicapped spaces. Yeah. That's that's pretty ridiculous. Just walk a little bit further.
Alright? Few more steps ain't gonna kill you. Let's see. What else do we have here? Not washing your hands after the bathroom.
That does gross me out. Saw somebody do that at a show over the weekend. I'm like, dudes, for one thing, you should, in my opinion, always wash your hands after the bathroom, but you're also in a show, the venue bathroom. K? You should wash your hands after just touching the door handle.
K? Not using turn signals. Yeah. I don't I don't get that one. Not picking up your animal poo when you're out walking them around.
Clipping nails in public. Now I don't think that's something that many people do. The keyword in here was something that many people do. I don't think that's very common. Okay.
So something totally weird went down yesterday. I believe it was during the morning show I was talking about this. Pink Floyd's live at Pompeii. I know at some point yesterday, I mentioned that in my opinion, this was the best live performance by any band ever and how much I love this live concert film from back in the seventies, but that it's hard to find a good quality copy of. I mean, you can watch it on YouTube, but it's not great quality.
I mean, it's YouTube. So, you know, and it's been on there for a long time. Well, anyway, crazy enough I mentioned yesterday, I would love to see a four k release of this because it's just so good. It's just mind blowing in my opinion. So it last night, I'm kicked back trying to get myself motivated to go to bed.
Shouldn't be hard to get motivated to go to bed, should it? I just don't like going to bed early. I like staying up. But anyway, I'm scrolling away on the phone, and next thing I see, Pink Floyd live at Pompeii coming to theaters fully restored in four k. They're gonna be showing it in IMAX at a number of theaters and then also releasing it, so you can buy it to watch at home, which is, you know, one of the best places to watch a live concert film if you've got a sound system like mine.
And not only that, but the audio is being remixed by Steven Wilson. I mean, I would have been stoked beyond belief to see that they're simply restoring the video footage and rereleasing it in a better quality DVD format. But Steven Wilson, who, if you don't know, you should. Steven Wilson, the king of modern Prague. You know, he's done a bunch of different album remixes over the last few years.
He did, use your illusion. You know, you g and r fans. If you haven't listened to Stephen Wilson's, may maybe he only did November rain. I thought he might have done the whole album. You know, both of them.
But the version of November rain that we play is the Stephen Wilson mix. It's so much better than the original. It it's not like anything really changed. He just has a way of bringing all the instruments out a little bit more, making the audio recording just more sonically appealing. To see that Stephen Wilson of all people is doing the audio for this, I I'm just in full nerd mode.
I messaged a couple friends about it last night. Dan Ditto. I mean, I don't know how many times when me and Dan lived together, we watched Pink Floyd live at Pompeii, and he was so excited when I sent him that information. If you haven't seen this, if you're a music fan I don't know. Older Pink Floyd's not for everybody.
Maybe it was during the noon hour that this came up because somebody asked me, like, if I could travel back in time, what pans would I wanna see or something like that. I don't I don't remember. But, yeah, I know I'm just babbling here, but I am so excited. So it's gonna be hitting, theaters April 24, and then the release comes on May 2. You gotta check it out if you're a Pink Floyd fan, if you've never seen this.
And, also, just being a music fan, I'm telling you, it's the best live performance by any band ever. The end. It's that good. So that made my, evening. Made my evening, and I feel like I sort of manifested this into happening somehow with the magic of radio.
I don't know. It was so weird to have specifically mentioned I wish blank would happen and then later that evening I saw that it had. And it probably happened, at least the announcement, around the time I was yapping about it. Really weird. Anyway, that's exciting news for Pink Floyd and music fans in general.
I don't go check live at Palm Pay out yet. Wait till the rerelease because, again, you can watch it on YouTube, but it the quality, they put up a little clip of the song Echoes, and the quality was so good. Can't wait for the full release. Fantastic. Okay.
Done Pink Floyd babbling. I'll be right back. Okay. I I suppose I could address this. Just because you see a very prominent person do something doesn't mean that you're not gonna get fired and publicly shamed if you do the same thing.
There are a lot of people getting fired right now, at least according to my social media feed. For copying a, gesture that Elon Musk decided to make in excitement. Yeah. There was an Idaho CEO over in Boise. Canned.
Well, I I think he actually had to step down because he was at the top, but I I was looking through a thread of, before and after photos of people making said gesture thinking they're being funny. And then, the next post fired. I mean, you wouldn't think people would have to be told, hey. If you make certain gestures publicly, you're going to get into trouble. But people are dumb.
People are dumb. So yeah. Just because you see Elon Musk do something, the guy's the richest man on the planet. He's gonna be able to get away with things that the average person isn't. So don't copy these people.
K? It's like the the dumbest TikTok challenge ever. I mean, you're not gonna necessarily die. You could. You know, make that gesture in the wrong place.
Might get, you know, in a a bit of a conflict with people. But, I shouldn't be surprised. I shouldn't be surprised at all. But these people seem surprised when all of a sudden there's backlash. Yeah.
Maybe take a look at, the historical, I I don't know where what are what I was looking to say here is, but, you know, just kinda look back through history and see how well that worked out for people, making said gesture. I just had to laugh a little bit at a post I just saw online. I follow a lot of radio station pages because, you know, I'm in the biz, I guess. Like to see what everybody's up to. And in Minneapolis, the rock station is known as ninety three x.
It's a cumulus station. And, apparently, some listeners of this station have been receiving items in the mail from ninety two k q r s, promotional letters. I'll admit this is kind of an interesting way to go about giving away a prize. Very old school. So they send somebody an actual letter in the mail saying, hey, you wanna win a thousand bucks?
We're running a secret invite only contest and they explain how it works. Alright. We're gonna give away a thousand bucks. You need to tune in between 6AM and 7PM weekdays. 6AM to 7PM, in case you're unaware, are the most important hours as far as advertising goes.
Like, if you're in radio, you wanna be the number one station between 6AM and 7PM. The night hours and weekends and things don't matter as much, when it comes to advertising and for clients. So they're trying to get people to tune in during those specific hours. Makes total sense to me. And then if you hear them mention a city name, they'll just kinda casually mention it as part of a regular, conversation.
Then you text the city name to their hotline to win. And this person who posted it's like, I can't believe these idiots down the hall, are trying to, you know, get a hold of listeners to the rock station so they can steal them and win their prizes. Those guys suck. Alright. They all work in the same building.
K? And I would imagine I mean, we've never done anything like this, but a lot of radio groups, they'll keep, a mailing list. You know, if you submit your listener info, they've got all of your contact information. And so all of the stations in this building, I guarantee share that listener database, and they're all working toward the same goal, getting as much market share as possible. They're all on the same team.
They're not fighting with each other. Yeah. Like, when z one zero three is doing a giveaway, I just tell you about it. I just found it so funny that these, listeners think the radio stations are going head to head with one another. No.
They're just sharing all the same data to try to get as many listeners for all of their stations as possible. This is like a no brainer. Yeah. I tell you what's going on with classy and things like that. We're we're a big team.
I don't know. The the 93 x subreddit is really funny. I we have a k bear subreddit. I made it a while ago but I don't know if we have a lot of Reddit users in our market let me see if it's still up here yeah just r slash kay bear one zero one one member me feel free to join and post some content I don't know. I just enjoy seeing, you know, radio listeners on Reddit spew their opinions because I don't know.
Reddit's not generally a place that I see a lot of radio content. So, anyway yeah. Just a heads up. If they're in the same building, they're all working together. It ain't rocket science.
Let's dive in here and take a look at a list of video games that prove that graphics aren't everything. That's right, kids. I mean, I've even had these kinda conversations with Peaches before. You know, he's, you know, a decade younger than me. Grew up in a completely different gaming era.
Just because a game's old doesn't mean it doesn't stand up right next to some of the games out nowadays. Now I would say that my all time favorite games are newer games. Even as an older gamer, I'm still gonna take Red Dead two over, I don't know, Super Mario World or something like that. But some of those old games, they do still stand up like Super Mario World. The top answer online right now is Tetris, which it's still fun.
Still fun. Still as aggravating as ever because I suck at it. I've got a VR version of Tetris that it's really neat, but I'm still awful at it. I don't know. I just make bad decisions when it comes to, Tetris.
What other games are people saying? This is the one I thought of, and I don't even like this game, but it's so popular that clearly graphics don't mean everything. Minecraft. I don't know. I've I've played it.
I just couldn't get into it. And that's, again, coming from a guy who really enjoys Red Dead two where you do a lot of crafting in that game. Yeah. Hunting, gathering plants so I could make some kind of a tonic or make a stupid jacket. I don't know.
Just couldn't get into Minecraft, but one of the most popular games of all time and the graphics are, yeah, pretty pretty lousy for a modern game in my opinion. Let's go to the phones here, see who's calling us. K Bear, you are live on the show. Please keep that in mind. Who's this?
Hey. This is, Parker. How are you? Parker, I'm doing pretty good. Do you got an older game with, you know, not great graphics, but that is still a masterpiece?
Yeah. I do. The original, like, Skyrim elder scrolls game back when it first came out, graphics compared to stuff today aren't great. I still think the game is super fun and it holds up. Oh, yeah, dude.
For sure. I mean, I recently replayed, San Andreas, GTA San Andreas, and the graphics on that, certainly not up to par with some of the more modern games. But it was still, I mean, so fun, such a good story. You know, I'd call it a masterpiece for sure. Yep.
That was one that I was gonna bring up too. And it's hard sometimes to compare graphics, especially across genres because you're saying, like, Super Mario World. It looks pretty good for a two d sky side scroller, but if you compare it to, like, the GTA five first person stuff, you know, they just are totally different games. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
If you, for example, compare it to the the newer, side scroller Mario games, you know, it's not gonna look as great. But, oh, man, when that game came out, you know, young people couldn't ever understand how mind blowing seeing Super Mario World for the first time was. It was crazy. Right. I mean, Mario Brothers three was that way.
Back on the NES, when that came out, it was like such a leap from Mario Brothers two that, just mind blown as a kid. So Right. And I'd say Mario Brothers three stands up. Oh, sorry. Go ahead.
No. I was just gonna say it's always cool to see the changes in development of games because, you know, you think that, oh, man. Things haven't changed that much because then you go back to a game you played way back when you were super young and you think, man, is this what it looks like? I remember way different. Oh, yeah.
The last time I tried playing in Atari, I was like, oh my goodness. I've I've I've yet to find an Atari game on the actual Atari platform that is as good as I remember it. I mean, if you're gonna play Pac Man, you you gotta go at least NES or something. Yes. I throw Skyrim in there.
The original release Skyrim. Not look great, but it's still super fun to play. Absolutely, man. That I mean, one of the most, just deep, you know, and, just packed games of all time. It has so much you can do, kinda kinda like Red Dead two.
You could just play it for hundreds of hours. Just wander around and find things to do. Yeah. Exactly. I I love that kind of stuff.
A little bit of laid back gameplay is definitely where I'm at at this point in life. Oh, yeah. Well, appreciate the call. Mine. Hope you have a good one.
Yep. You too. Peace. So, anyway, a lot of these games that they're naming online, I haven't even heard of these. Dwarf fortress dwarf fortress, they say, could be the longest standing and most successful example of this.
Gonna have to look into that. Dwarf Fortress or Factorio. I don't know what that is either. I'd see, I'm not a very good gamer, apparently. Zork, no clue.
Alright. I remember Lemmings. Oh, that game. That's another one that made me just wanna smash the controller. Too dumb.
I'm too dumb for Lemmings. I am a Lemming. Diving into some dumb news. It's freak news. And thank you again for hanging out, listening to the show today.
Been getting a lot of nice calls from people. I hope you're all doing great. Alright. Where should we begin? Thankfully, we're back to, you know, just a little bit of stupid mayhem like a Florida woman admitting to vandalizing her ex's vehicle.
I'm looking at a photo of it here. Lots of profanity, yellow spray paint covering basically the entire car. But it turns out that Evelina Fabianski got the wrong car. It wasn't her ex's car. It was just some random vehicle.
See? That's why you shouldn't go out at night and try to vandalize things. I mean, even if she had gotten the right car, it wouldn't be wouldn't be proper. It'd be inappropriate and wrong. But you don't wanna end up on the national news.
Some radio guy in Idaho talking about you, laughing. Yeah. She just hit her boyfriend's neighbor's car. You just gotta move along. I know breakups can be tough.
She was only 18, though. When you're younger, seems like the, breakups can make you a little bit crazier maybe. Just try to remember there's there's other people out there. Things will get better. It can be very aggravating, the breakup process.
But oh, oh, just give it time. Just give it a little bit of time. Things will improve. What else do we have here? If you've been thinking of getting out of Idaho, they've got an island for sale for $695,000 in Metro or near Metro Vancouver.
Do you gotta be a Canadian resident to buy this island? It looks pretty cool, actually. I like getting away from people, but I'm also a little claustrophobic. I don't know if I could handle living on a small island, being surrounded by water. Plus, in that region, you are susceptible to that potential megathrust earthquake.
You don't want to be stuck on an island if all of a sudden the tsunami's rolling in. Yeah. Probably why the price keeps dropping on this island. Yeah. If you need to get to higher ground but you gotta use a a canoe, that's not good.
But it would be neat to own a little, private island. Still way outside of my budget. Alright. I'm also currently watching a video from a Colombian airport where they're they're chopping a guy's hair off. Do people not know how the, full body scanners work?
This guy glued a toupee to his head, and, the toupee was packed to the brim with cocaine. Yeah. If you run through the full body scanner, they're gonna be able to tell if you've glued hair on top of your head and have something sitting on top of your dome. Alright? And then they're gonna make an example out of you.
They've got the guy standing in front of the wig on the news. He's all handcuffed looking like a moron. Just, you know, drugs are bad. Okay? And trying to take drugs through the airport.
Stupid. Okay. You you just can't get away with that. Alright? It should be common sense, but how often do we bring up stories of people trying to sneak things through airport security?
Weekly. Just about weekly. Alright. I'm gonna save some of these other stories for the top of the next hour. We're gonna talk about this, amazing product that day, woman in Rexburg is selling.
Wanna give a shout out to listener Sean for pointing me in that direction. It's yeah. I wouldn't normally be talking about, skin care products, but it's the Victor Wilt Show, and you'll see why I'm going to talk about it when I do. So that's coming up in a few and other other, you know, wacky stupid things. So hang on.
The beast is back. That's right. What's up, peaches? How's it going? Oh, it was a nice break.
Oh, I'm glad you had a nice little vacation to the beautiful big city of Boise, Idaho. Yeah. I did not miss that traffic at all. It's gotten pretty bad over there. Yeah.
It's a very annoying place to drive around. Idaho's infrastructure was not ready for the pandemic. Even the, Trader Joe's employee was talking to me, and I said, well, I got my four hour drive back to Idaho Falls. He's like, what's that commute what are the commute commutes like over there? And I'm like, they're they're they're bad.
They're real bad. It's terrible. Don't move over here. Oh, no. He's like, it's awful here in Boise.
I can only imagine what it's like over there. Yeah. I mean, we still, thankfully you know, it takes me about eight minutes to get to work in the morning and fifteen to twenty minutes to get home in the afternoon. It's ridiculous how long it takes for me to I have to turn I'm I'm forced now to turn right on the sunny side instead of left. Yeah.
And we're heading into that season of road construction. I saw an article about, some areas of hit road, they're working on this week. So, yeah, I'm just trying to not go anywhere. Just stay home. Don't drive.
You know? Or if I do need to go somewhere, off hours. You know? 11PM. That's when you go to the grocery store.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. You go bright and early in the morning sometimes too. It's great. Yeah.
Oh, yeah, dude. That's the only way to do it. Like, Walmart has those quiet hours. It's so nice. You don't have to hear Walmart radio blasting at high volume with their high energy DJs.
Ugh. That that reminds me. There was another business I went to. I went to the restroom. There was another business that had a radio station, and I was just laughing because I'm like, why do these people have a radio station?
Well, I forgot who it was now. Well, if you remember, I definitely wanna check them out. Yeah. No. It's just the same old so and so radio, and then it goes in a generic pop.
Yeah. Walmart radio is definitely really weird. There's no rhyme or reason to the playlist, and then just top 40 style DJ. Hey, everybody. Walmart radio.
But I have seen now every Walmart in every major city of Idaho, so I'm I'm stuck. Alright. I need to get to see one of Mampa, Boise, Twin Falls. I've been to all the Idaho. Well, you gotta go up north, Coeur D'Alene.
That's not a major city. So what's what's in the bag? Yeah. So I What's in the bag? I tried dropping you this stuff off yesterday, but you're in the middle of something.
So Yeah. Yeah. I was hanging out with my lady. Well, it looks so sweet here. Go away.
So first of all, I don't know if you tried these. These are absolutely fantastic. I ate all of mine on the way back. Okay. These right here.
Oh. I you might have given me one of these before. A Trader Joe's sweetened dried orange slices. Oh, it's got words on there that people hate. Moist and sweet.
They are moist. And you you can eat the rind too. Alright. These look good. They're they're they're gonna be a good pick.
So It's only a buck 99 for that whole bag too. Really? Yeah. That's a good deal. See, that's why we need Trader Joe's.
They do have good deals. And speaking about the first world problem, I went to Taco Bell after the show. The Taco Bell over in Boise does not have the Luxe Cravings box. What? So I had to order each item individually, cost me $10.
10 dollars? Instead of 7. That's a bunch of crap. But that was because I used my free fire tier reward for the cheesy gordita crunch. Otherwise, it would have been 14.
That is ridiculous. Right? Yeah. Okay. So is this the Taco Bell that is in the vicinity of the Idaho Center?
I'm not sure. Okay. I think yeah. I think it might be. Okay.
The last time I went to Boise and went to a show at the Idaho Center, me and Judith went to Toole. And, late at night after the show, we wanted to get some food, but there's, like, no food anywhere close to the Idaho Center. Not at all. So we ordered, like, Taco Bell DoorDash, and it was super expensive for one. Yeah.
And then they screwed up the order. Of course. And it took, like I think it took about an hour and a half for the food to show up. I gotta give props to the workers here, especially at the ones at the Taco Bell Taco Bell's around here because Yeah. They get the job done.
The Taco Bell over over there, the lady was you can tell she didn't wanna be there. What do you want? Right. It was like one word. What do you want?
What do you want? And then then I said, like, I already threw the app. Say one of them now. It's like, okay. Wow.
How can you not have the deluxe cravings box? It's like a national promotion. Well, then they have the meal for two, which was too much food, and that was, like, $20. I'm like, okay. Let me just That's ridiculous.
Order the the thing the old fashioned way. Alright. So we got sweetened dried orange slices. These look fantastic. The the these are one of my favorite desserts from Trader Joe's.
My ex girlfriends showed me these and then this is, like, the only thing I liked, a lot from over there. Trader Joe's frozen chocolate covered bananas. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You've, shown me these before.
We've tried them. They are really good. I have tried to replicate my own, with just melting chocolate and bananas and coconut strips, but it's not the same. Alright. We're gonna have to get this into the the freezer.
Yeah. Definitely. ASAP. Now Okay. This next one, I forgot that you already have a giant thing of Reese's that Judith gave you.
I do have lots of Reese's. Well, here's more. Oh, jeez. Look at that. Holy cow.
That's a massive tub of Trader Joe's milk chocolate peanut butter cups. That was $4. 4 bucks is all for that, but this thing weighs a pound. Yeah. I'm telling you.
It's a pound of Reese's. I've never tried a, Trader Joe's, peanut butter cup. So Don't eat one because you'll eat, like, six like I did this morning. Okay. Thanks for the heads up, peaches.
Look at all these treats you brought me. How kind of it? Oh, even wait. There's a bowl. The big finale.
I I figured you would need a bottle of this because you can never have too much of this. Your favorite condiment. Oh. Trader Joe's organic ketchup. Dude, thank you, man.
I've never tried Trader Joe's ketchup, so I'm very excited. Look at that. That's a dollar. Looks like it doesn't have too much added sugar and $1. It's like a dollar 99.
Yeah. That's that's not bad at all. Alright, Joe. I spent, like, $96 there, but I bought, like, Sriracha bottles and olive oil and the green chili dragon sauce. Heck yeah, dude.
Yeah. We need a Trader Joe's around here for sure. Well, I'm I'm pretty grateful. I'm going to, I guess I gotta put the ketchup on the orange slices and wrap that around a Reese's just play with that. Well, thanks, Peaches.
That's very nice of you to bring me, all these souvenirs. Now how was the show? Oh, the show was fantastic. I sent you videos of the, the the of David Draymond in the chair. Yes.
Blood coming out of his head. I'm gonna post that on our Instagram and make an edit of that video. Yeah. There was one video you sent me that you said you were gonna send or post that was just, filled with profanity. Oh, was it?
Yeah. I thought you were joking. There might be someone next to me screaming. I don't know. It was it was during a part of one of the songs where maybe I Oh, not that one.
That was a different video. Okay. Yeah. I was like Not David Drummond flipping off the camera the whole time. Yeah.
I was like, that's funny, Peaches. I know you're not gonna really post it. But there was a dude, in the pit that was like that I asked him how tall he was. He's six eleven. Well, bigger than you?
So me and him were no. He's not bigger than he was real thin. Oh, okay. I'm like two of him. But like It's okay.
So taller than you are. But, like, we were just taking photos and then we were comparing them and, you know, clearly above everybody else just he he had a great photo of David, like, right in front. Nice. I was to the side a little bit, but still got a great shot of him in the chair and everything. But, yeah, they played the full album first thing.
The net the net the net a twenty minute intermission and then had their brief little set afterwards. So you guys got a lot of treats at that show. You were the first show to see the new three Days Grace dual vocalist lineup. Yeah. How how were they?
Oh, they were good. You can tell Adam's a little bit more experienced, a little bit more, what's the word? Got a got a little more stage presence? Yeah. I mean, Matt, you can tell he's somewhat newer.
Every one of those dudes was extremely nice. I am now, I'm now gonna hate every band that ignores us because, when when I got to meet Disturbed before the show, Aaron said, hey. This is Peaches or Brendan. He showed up. He drove four hours to get here.
He's from K Bear, great the greatest radio station. And then David shook my my hand and then had his other hand on my arm and said, thank you so much for the support and was, like, you know Nice. You know, very, very nice. And now I'm thinking, like, well, all these bands, you know, just ignore us for no reason. They have no excuse.
Because you said Metallica's people have reached out saying thanks for the support. Disturbed has said the same thing. Oh, yeah, dude. Two of the biggest bands out there, and they're still thanking us. Exactly.
You know, younger bands, take note. You know, we're your we're your homies. We're here to help expose you to people. But we definitely need to have a series of how many musicians, how many artists will call Peaches a big I can't say the other word because it's every single time. Wow.
Look at that. And then it was and it was funny too because every person leaving the meet and greet in front of me for disturbed was like, wow. I thought they I thought they were taller. Every single person Damon Dreamin's, you know, I think is about my height. Yeah.
So He is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, you also got to see the debut of the new Disturbed single live.
Mhmm. Yeah. It was good. Nice. It was fun.
Nice. I mean, yeah, the whole, I was on the floor during the beginning part of their set, like, the whole first out the Sickness album. Mhmm. And then I moved to the seats because, you know, it's it's nice to be down to the PIPA by myself. I'm like, you know, forget it.
I'll be up with Big Jay from the x and Chris from Reno and Aaron from q Prime and all that. So it was fun to join them too. Yeah. I'm glad you got to meet all those dudes. Oh, yeah.
For sure. I, saw, you know, Chris had commented on your post. So I popped over to his page, and I realized he never accepted my friend request. What a turd. And so I I That reminds me.
I canceled the request and sent it again. Like, dude, you're a radio guy. What are you doing? I I asked him if he knew who you were, and he said, I I don't think so. And What a What a tool.
And then I went to his Instagram, and sure enough, I'm like, dude, he follows like, Victor follows you. Okay. And then he was like, he does? And then he looked. He's like, oh, I do follow him.
Pay attention, bro. He was having a great time when Seven Dust was on stage for sure. He started the pit next to me. He was jumping up and down, pushing people. Nice.
Yeah. I I can't remember if I've met him in person or not. I mean, I became aware of him when he took took over, KDOT in Reno. He had two cell phones, which was, quite unique. He was doing social media posting on both, and he was going live on one, posting on Instagram on the other.
Hey, Jade. We're that company line, bro. And I was I was getting upset because it's like I was I was gonna tell Jade. I'm like, you know, I met all these radio people, and they all said, oh, we have our promotions director. We have this person.
We have this person. It's not one person. Like, we like, what we do around here. Oh, yeah. It's a team of people even for the x, the eagle, k dot, and Reno.
I know. I know, man. We're we're just better than them, peaches. We can do more. You know?
They couldn't do what we do. That's right. Even though they couldn't. A lot of them can barely do a show. Oh.
Oh. Alright. Well, we're gonna take a break. We'll be back with more music and stuff. I got a bunch of stupid news stories pulled up, so hang on.
Digging into the biz buzz section of eastIdahonews.com. Thanks to listener Sean for sending this my way. We got a Rexburg woman's selection of homemade skin care products with a large social media following. She makes her skin care products out of brutal beef. That's right.
Well, beef tylo, which is, the fatty tissue around the kidneys and other organs of a cow. So a local butcher, I guess, supplies the fat for her to make these products. Yeah. They got the whipped tallow with a pine scent just rubbing the just brutal beef and pine all over your skin. You gotta have a cheeseburger scented version of this.
You know, so you just smear that, what if it's a raw meat smell? Raw meat doesn't really smell very good. Okay. Fresh charred steak smell. Be all for this.
So, these are just one of the many type of things you can see if you check out our neighbors down the hall, eastIdahonews.com. Yeah. Skincare products made from beef And, they tend to come from grass fed cows as well so you can avoid, I don't know, grains that have been sprayed with chemical that the cow then ate and blah blah blah. No. This is this is all natural.
Beef spread for your skin. Mhmm. She's helping to make some sunscreen too. Just smear that beef grease all over yourself. Protect yourself from a little bit of sunburn.
Anyway, good. I'm I'm glad to see she's doing well. Glad to see she's doing well. I would imagine beef tallow probably something that, just tends to end up in the garbage. Right?
Putting it to good use. Anyway, sorry. I just had to talk about beef spread for your skin. I'd I'd be failing as the king of brutal beef and liquid cheese if I didn't talk about this. Alright.
This is gonna be one of those breaks that I kinda wish I would have scripted out prerecorded because sometimes going live, things just don't come across exactly how you're trying to say them. So, hopefully, I do a good job with this. You know, I'm a real live radio DJ. You might hear other DJs claim to be live. A lot of them liars.
We are live on air. So I made a post on Facebook last night about something I've brought up on the show before that a lot of people disagree with me on, and that would be the subject of the media. I don't know how many times I've seen somebody post about how the media is run by leftists and liberals. The mainstream media is not liberal. K?
I've seen accusations being chucked at, East Idaho news left and right. Look at all this liberal news. They're just reporting the news. CNN, liberal CNN. I'd I'd call them very centrist.
And the reason is because I, you know, doing the job that I do, I've gotta look through a lot of different news sources to try to find stuff to talk with you about on air. And I'm aware of all kinds of different news sources. So when I think of, liberal news, leftist news, I'd be thinking about stuff like, or sites like The Hill, Daily Beast, Midas Touch. Alright? I really picked up on this during the election and the the coverage of what was happening throughout the election process.
You know, there were all these stories being reported by actual liberal news and, you know, CNN didn't touch those stories. And I thought it was very weird because CNN's supposed to be, oh, as liberal as it gets. Well, one thing that popped up in the news a week ago was that, the Midas Touch podcast, which, I mean, this is as liberal as it gets, that it had become the number one podcast in America, which, you know, overtook Joe Rogan. You know, the podcast realm for a long time, if you looked at the top podcast, they tended to be dominated by, very conservative commentators. So in the liberal world, Midas Touch taking over as the number one podcast in America is massive news.
You think CNN said a word about it? No. No. They haven't said a word about it at all. Amazingly, it it was funny because when I made the post, you know, somebody chimed in about MSNBC, and at the time that I made the post, you know, this story had been out there for a week and they hadn't said anything.
I guess MSNBC last night finally made, some kind of, video about this. But anyhow, yeah, they're they're about as far as, far left as it goes in mainstream twenty four hour news. But even then, they don't report on, you know, tons of stuff that these other websites do. So I made a post about it saying, see, look. CNN is not liberal because, yeah, as someone who considers myself liberal, CNN is a a disappointment to me.
And we can all be homies. Alright? We can all be homies. I haven't gone on some kind of a deleting spree on my Facebook page. I still get in little little discussions with many of you and it's it's great fun.
I like being able to discuss issues. That's become one of the major problems in the world is people have forgotten how to talk about things. And so, you know, I I like to let people know as well about these other news sources because I think a lot of people don't know they exist. It was funny. I I don't know if it was true, but I saw somebody say that Joe Rogan said who?
You know that, like, when you see a band's been announced for coming to town? Who? Just goes to show I really think Joe Rogan's living in quite the information echo chamber. Because if you, you know, work in media like he does and you weren't familiar with Midas touch, You just haven't been paying attention for the last few years. You know, kinda like if you're on the other side and you don't know about, like, Newsmax and things like that.
So, anyway, I'm not trying to say you need to go check out these other news sources. I just wanted to let you know, East Idaho News, CNN, all these places that, are taking just a beat down for being so leftist in controlling the news. You gotta give you gotta be kidding me. Alright? That they're as centered as it gets.
Yeah. If you wanna see leftist news, I can show you. It's out there, but it's not mainstream. Well, I guess it kinda is if Midas Touch is the, number one podcast. We'll see how long that lasts, but, yeah, the supposed liberal news is not talking about it at all.
So just wanted to let you know. Okay. If you were in an earthquake and your house was destroyed and you were scared of earthquakes, what would you do? What I would do is move to a place where you have the lowest chance of an earthquake happening to try to stay away from them. This Turkish guy, he took a little bit of a different route.
He moved into a cave. Yeah. I guess in February of twenty twenty three, southern Turkey had a a pretty massive earthquake, 7.8, on the, they don't call it the Richter scale anymore, but I can't remember what they call it. It does doesn't matter. Anyhow, so tens of thousands of people got killed.
Entire neighborhoods turned into rubble, and this guy, yeah, he lost his home. So he and his family were okay, thankfully, but he was so terrified of another earthquake. He's like, alright. I'm moving into a cave. I'm moving into a cave.
Now I'm no scientist. K? I don't know a lot about how earthquakes work and the potential damage they can do. But I would think that an earthquake could cause a cave to collapse on you and crush you beneath, you know, just a mountain of boulders. That's just what I think could happen.
But this guy is like, nah. Nah. This is way safer than a normal house. It just depends where that fault line is. Right?
Or how bad things shake? You know, with all my research I've done on the megathrust earthquakes, you know, if you've got a a plate that slips, you know, if you had these two plates just pushing up against each other for, you know, hundreds of years, when when the other one or no. Not the other one. One one of them snaps back. The ground can drop by many feet.
You don't wanna be in a cave if that happens. And, also, living in a cave? Talked about caves earlier. Terrifying. He's like, well, you know, we deal with snakes and rodents, and I wish I had a toilet and running water, but, hey, it's nice and cool in the summer.
Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm I'm I'm gonna have to stick with, running water and having a house that might, collapse in the the case of an earthquake. I don't know. Caves just They don't sound very great to me as a place to live, but he looks happy.
He looks happy, so, you know, wishing him all the luck. People are weird, man. I don't know. I guess I'm used to my nice cozy couch and the only type of pests I tend to deal with, the occasional spider, you know, or the cats, and I choose to have them. So good luck to the cave guy.
Well, reading this article makes me hurt. This is frustrating. Tokyo turning to a four day work week. Come on, America. We can't be outdone by Tokyo.
Is there anyone out there? You can call me if you think that a five day work week's better than a four day work week would be? I gotta hear why. I gotta hear your justification for this. Now the reason that Tokyo's doing it is because they want to help Japan shed its unwanted title of the world's oldest population.
I guess people are not having as many babies there. Some I don't know if they think, giving you an extra day off is gonna mean a better chance of you getting down to business and making another baby or what, but nobody they're like, oh, it'll allow more time for housework and hanging out with kids and things because a lot of people are telling us, you know, it's just too much work. I don't have enough time for another kid. Now how about the studies that have been done that show the benefits to the four day work week more productive you know you're you're just gonna live a better life calling Jade calling Jade right now What's up? You're live on the radio, Jade.
Keep that in mind. I'll hang up on you. No. You will not hang up on me. I just wanted to know if you had read this article about Tokyo turning to a four day work week.
Nope. But good for them. You should move to Tokyo. That way I don't have to hear or see your ugly face. Hey.
But that would take too much work for me to move to Tokyo. Do they have a a rock radio station in Tokyo? I don't know. That's your problem, not mine. Hey.
But you're the boss, so you need to advocate for us for having a four day work week. I thought you were, you know, for the common man here. Us little I take a three day work week, and the rest of you make up my two lost days and work seven. What? This is why people get mad at the bosses.
This is why people can't stand management. Alright. You wanna try and do my job right now? Now? No.
No. I just wanna try to, get you to let me have a four day work week. That was fucking enough. Just get back to work. Oh, fine.
I'll get back to work. Alright. Bye, Jade. Bye. You see this?
I try and try. Well, I guess it's up to one of you. Anybody working for, I don't know, the state? Oh, still working for the state, I should say? Hit up that governor.
I mean, there's a lot of things that I'm seeing people, give out the phone number to our politicians for, you know, to call and complain. Let's add the four day work week to the list. Come on, Idaho. Let's do something that everybody can stand behind and agree on except for Jade, apparently. Four day work week.
I'll keep trying, everybody. One of these days. Sorry. Yeah. I I gather all these thoughts when I'm gone and stuff.
And then I'm like, okay. Let me just go ahead and talk to Victor about all this because I I plan what I when I what what am I supposed to talk to Victor about? Okay. This, this, this, and this. And then I come in here and just spill it all in the morning.
Yeah. Yeah. Like, alright. Did you hear this on the radio? Did you see this news article?
Bam, bam, bam. Next thing I know, I'm listening to five minutes of, toast talk. Apparently, today is National Toast Day. Isn't that such a big deal? By the way, guys, if you you wanna call in and tell us what you like on your toast, you can.
Yeah. I mean, it's apparently a hot topic. 208535115. What do you like on toast? Now the radio host that we heard talking about this for five minutes, you know, he claimed, I'm a toast guy.
Now who's the local toast guy in radio? That's definitely you. That is definitely me. I got bread in the fridge. I am the toast guy.
But how do you claim something like that? I don't know how you claim it. I'm a toast guy. The way that he said it was just he sounded like that dude from the Simpsons. Do you think he was trying to, appeal to the young people and he's it's a playoff on, I'm a Costco guy?
Maybe. It might have been that. Might have been that. But, I give Toast five big booms. Am I right, kids?
Five big booms for Toast. Boom. He's doing the Riz face. And, you know, I mean, we've talked about how I'll have toast and oatmeal for lunch often, but I don't think I've ever done a break where I named every single thing that I could possibly imagine that I like on toast. I can tell you that break would do really well on Family Feud.
If Steve Hardy was like, what what would you put on your toast? And it's the buzzer. Jelly. It does sound like a Family Feud question. So, you know, Peaches, we gotta let everybody know our favorite things to put on toast.
I like, you know, a little bit of, dirt. Well, he he didn't receive one caller. If we could get one caller for this subject Then we win. Then we win. So if someone wants to call in (208) 535-1015, first of all, you gotta say, love you, Victor.
Love the show. You gotta do that. And then you gotta say, my favorite thing to put on toast is and then your answer. Blank. Yes.
That's how they train you. I was talking to Chris from K dot in Reno, and he has a phone screener. I'm like He has a he has a phone screener. I'm like I'm like yeah. I tell you, dude.
Every single place has a team besides us. We're like the only people who are like the Swiss army knives in the business, especially with what Jade's doing. Yeah. Jade is doing the job of like 20 people. I know.
It's absurd. I think I have it hard and I see him running around. He looks so darn tired out there. Well, he's gotta be. I mean, yesterday's up on top of the mountain fixing this and that.
He's gotta put up with our crap around here. I should have brought him back some like Trader Joe's beef jerky, at least as as some sort of thing. Yeah. We should get him some kind of a treat. Let's We gotta call her.
Somebody's glad to call and tell us what they like on toast. K Bear, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this? Morning, Mitchell.
You guys love the show. This is Stewart. Hey, Stewart. What's your favorite thing to put on toast? I'm a straight butter guy.
Straight butter guy? That's a boring answer. Next caller. Come on, Stewart. Not even like some dead bugs, you know, toast with some crickets?
Yeah. You're supposed to call in with this hot take that causes a whole debate. I'm supposed to disagree with Victor. I do Say something like text message. Share my I do like to share my super worms with my lizards.
Oh, you you like to share the worms. Okay. Well, you should try putting them on toast, dude. Everything's good on toast. Yeah.
Maybe toast the worms. Yeah. It's just a worm sandwich, basically. Then watch them boil in a pan or something like that. You know?
Go for it, Stuart. Okay. Well, we appreciate you calling in on this vital breaking radio news that it's national, toast day. It's it's, it sounded like a pretty hot topic. Figured I had better jump in here.
Dude, I mean, I had to do my part and do five minutes talking about toast as well. No. I like jelly on my toast, but what kind of jelly? Do you? I like strawberry.
Victor, what's yours? I like the seedless raspberry. That's not good. That's what I like. Hey, guys.
We're in Idaho. We use huckleberry on our toast around here. Huckleberry is pretty good. That's right. Gotta be homemade.
We gotta keep it live and local. I love you know what? I love Idaho so much. I put potatoes on my toast. Dude, potatoes on toast is good.
With the jam too. You were gonna say, you know, putting ketchup on toast. If you were to put potatoes on bread, you could put ketchup on it, and you've got yourself a potato salad. I call that my carby breakfast. We got other people calling that wanna tell us what they like on toast too.
Every line is lit up. So, we're gonna find out what these others like, Stuart. Thank you for starting the second, Stuart. Appreciate it. See you.
Yeah. No problem. Bye. This is great radio. This is how you get a job in the big market.
Caller, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. What do you like on toast? Sorghum. Sorghum?
What is we've talked about that before, but what exactly is butter and sorghum. This is where we get galactic. This is where we get the one listener that has the weird answer. We have to look it up and then say, woah. That's a wild take there, buddy.
It says it's the world's fifth most important cereal crop after rice, wheat, maize, and barley. I'm waiting for that one listener to call and say Vegemite or something like that. Dude? You just you feed them lizards and worms and you slice up the lizards, a little bit of sorghum. Good to go all day.
Lizards on toast. Is this guy living in the wasteland? Like, what's going on? Well, we'll have to give that a try for our next episode of Brad Eats. Alright?
Even though Brad's not here. It's just always gonna be called that. Leave that up next day. You as well, man. Thank you, man.
Peace. Yeah. I do nothing better than dead bugs on toast. I if if I had to pick just one thing. No.
I ate those, crickets on spam. That was that was pretty pro that was full of protein. Dude, crickets on spam. That's, spam toast. You know, spam can be toast as well.
We toasted it in the air fryer. That's what I like when my toast, spam and cream cheese. Hey, dude. I'm Casey Kasem. It's the Victor World Show.
Not time for me to get out of here. But before I go, let's talk about domesticating animals. Why do you think dogs decided, yeah, I think I'm gonna hang out with these people? You know, back in the day, somehow wolves were domesticated into early dogs, and some scientists have a new theory that these dogs just really liked snacks. This makes total sense to me.
My daughter recently hit me up prior to Valentine's Day and was like, what do you get a guy for Valentine's Day? I'm like, well, I mean, each guy's a little bit different, but the one go to I could think of, snacks. Get him some candy. I couldn't have been more excited with the giant box of Reese's I received from my lady for Valentine's Day. I mean, I was a little leery because have you ever eaten Reese's?
It's not like you can just stop once you start. So I've been eating lots of Reese's. But I I think that, snacks and food that you can domesticate, you know, the average dude with some snacks. So it made total sense to me. You could do it with a dog.
Yeah. Imagine you're a dog. You're an old, you know, an old school wolf. You're out. You gotta deal with all this hunting and stuff, Running through the woods and the snow just to try to get yourself, I don't know, a little rabbit or something.
Or you got people. And they're like, hey. Check it out. This is funny. Look at it.
This wolf thinks we're, we're friends. Look at it. Come on. Give him some of that fish. Yeah.
I think this is the best, theory I've seen yet. I don't know if I've looked at a lot of theories for how they domesticated dogs. But snacks, I mean, for domesticating just about anything. You know, like, if you get a a new kitten, you know, you give them some food. Well, then they're gonna just pretty much, expect it of you for the till the end of time.
They'll they'll wake you up. Alright, anyway. Stellar end of the show. Oh, yeah. Great.
Hey. Top notch. Alright. Hopefully, the noon hour of madness and mayhem will pick up a little bit better. Thanks for hanging out with me today.
Hope you had a good one, and, I hope the rest of the day goes by fast, goes well. And, yeah, you're the best. Best listeners on the planet. See you in a couple hours. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt show.
