The Viktor Wilt Show

Hello. Alright. You know, you never know what you could be up to in your career when all of a sudden it takes a drastic shift. Let's take a look at stars who got their starts as janitors. Cleaning up bathrooms and such while the creativity just flows through their minds.

People like, Kurt Cobain. I I didn't know this. Did not know that Kurt Cobain was working as a janitor, to, well, you know, get by in life, but also used that money to pay for the 1st Nirvana demo. And, well, as you know, Nirvana ended up doing pretty well, in the first big video that blew up for them. Smells like teen spirit.

Well, you got a high school janitor jamming out to the music. Takes place in a school. Little bit of an homage to Kurt Cobain's own janitorial stint. Yeah. Never heard that story.

Trent Reznor isn't on this list, but I believe, if I recall correctly, that Trent Reznor, was working as a janitor while recording the Pretty Hate Machine album. Like, working as a janitor at that record studio. And then at nighttime, they'd allow him to use the, equipment. I think they allowed him to anyhow to record his album, Pretty Hate Machine, which also did pretty well. Pretty well.

Some of these other artists on this list I found, again, other other people that I'm a pretty big fan of, but don't recall hearing this, like Stephen King. You would think I would've read this before. I knew I thought he was working as a teacher at the time that, he had written Carrie and then thought the out or the novel sucked, so he threw it in the garbage, but his wife fished it out. And, well, as you know, that worked out very well for Stephen King. This article says he was working as a school janitor and got the idea for the novel Carrie while cleaning the girl's locker room.

If you've never read the book or seen the movie, I don't wanna give any spoilers, but, kinda everything that kicks into motion. The story of Carrie kind of starts off with an incident in the girl's locker room. So, Yeah. You know, never, never doubt your own creativity. Always show it to somebody else.

You might think you have something that really sucks and it could be life changing could be life changing that's why you should always try to actually get your creative works out there something I've been sucking at for many years I don't know what my problem is I don't know I've I've got lots of material ready to record I got lots of goals and ideas Like, I should be doing some video content right now, but instead I'm, like, in between breaks pacing around the room looking at the mess going where do I begin. You know, I put peaches on this deal with the merch project, but now we just have shirts everywhere, and it's making me kinda crazy. So I might just stuff them back in the cabinet and be like, I back to forget about it, out of sight, out of mind because this mess is gonna be here for weeks. I have a feeling, and I don't think we have enough rubber bands to roll up all the shirts anywhere. Alright.

Well, anyhow, just wanted to get that motivation out there for you to get your creative works into the world. Dedicate time to it because one little thing, one little thing could be the life changing piece of content you put out there. It's also a reminder to myself. Stop slack and do something with your life. Stop.

Stop being such a okay. Anyway, slacker. You know, just a little bit of a slacker. Let's take a look at things that the Internet says are legal to own and that people are surprised you can own. Well, just because something's legal to own doesn't mean you should go for it.

Now I know there are places where you can own like a tiger don't do that k just because you can doesn't mean you have to Alright, let's see here Let's see what we got on this list. Wolf hybrids? Well, I I guess a hybrid's not quite as frightening as a regular wolf. Right? And it still don't sound good.

And, I'm gonna go ahead and like what tigers say, yeah, probably not. K. Oh, there it is. In Texas, you can own a tiger. You know?

Texas, one of those places like here. Hey, we can own tigers. I'm not gonna pay any attention to all the other stuff I can't do, but I can have a tiger. We're free. Kangaroos in South Carolina.

Why would you want a kangaroo? How many seen videos of those attacking people? They could mess somebody up pretty good. They're all buff. Kangaroos are frightening.

Plutonium. You can buy it on Amazon. Is that real? Hang on. Is this gonna really flag IT or the the government?

Should I even type plutonium into the Amazon search? Now there it is. Plutonium vial bottle with display collectible box. Now, it says it's a prop. Doesn't say it's real.

Alright. We've got a plutonium sphere internal model. You know, the back to the future plutonium crate. I I'm not seeing just straight up plutonium for sale, but I'm I'm not gonna dig very deep. Alright?

We'll just take the Internet's word for it that maybe at some point, it was on there. Let's see. Somebody has a deactivated cannon in their backyard. Well, if it's deactivated, okay. If you can't use it, it's just a decoration.

Right? Like, grenades that are deactivated. I I don't see, that being mind blowing. A tank? Like, fully operational?

I mean, I doubt that it's a fully operational tank with the working cannon. You know? You got a lot of land. Maybe having a tank. You wanna just cruise around your backyard.

Okay. But I yeah. Again, if you could blast a cannon round, however far that goes, what? A couple acres? I I don't know.

Not a, not a tank expert, but dumb radio DJ sitting in a, you know, filthy box here that needs cleaned up. What else do we have? If you meet certain criteria, it is possible to own a grenade launcher in some states. What criteria is that? I hope that I hope it's pretty strict because you can't give a rocket launcher to any old puddin head.

Alright. I mean, there are daily stories about idiots doing stupid things with guns. So let's please make some pretty heavy restrictions on those who wanna own a grenade launcher or just a grenade. Can you just buy grenades? I I don't know.

These aren't the type of things I generally look into. Flame throwers. I mean, we've seen those for sale. A Tommy gun registered before 1986 can be bought legally. So it keep in mind that's registered, not built.

Sentence that this person wrote is hurting my brain. In Maryland, you can own a human skeleton. I don't know. That would be kind of weird, wouldn't it? Have an actual human skeleton in your house?

I don't know. To me, it seemed it would seem crazy. Even if it was donated for medical reasons later on, they're like, alright. We don't need this skeleton anymore. Anybody wanna buy it?

It's a, you know, a real dead person in your house. I I don't know. Even as a guy who enjoys that kind of decor, I don't think I'd want an actual skeleton in my house. Just kind of, you know, give me the creeps a little bit. All right.

So far, this, I mean, this really does all seem to revolve around weapons, which I'm not too surprised. Maybe it's because I'm from Idaho. Yeah. When it comes to, firearms and things, that's like the one area where we've got more freedom than, pretty much anywhere. It's it's the only area I can think of, but, yeah.

So any of these, hey. I can't believe people could own this type of weapon. I guess it doesn't really make me blink being from around here. Anyway. Alright.

Keep digging. Just gonna keep digging. Okay. I've officially rebooted the computer. Hopefully, I don't need to smash it because it's a newer computer.

I don't think Jade would be very happy. I don't know. It it's just yesterday and today, things start off like, it's it's going okay, and then it just kinda derails the longer the show goes on. I've still got hope for the second half of it, but one of them mornings, man. And, boy, I tell you, usually, I'm pretty good at digging up some kind of useless stuff to talk about, but it is brutal today.

And I was looking through eastidahonews.com. Like, maybe maybe we could just talk about something local. And then, you know, I start poisoning my mind by looking at everything that, the politicians are up to, start getting mad, frustrated, and then I start looking through the comments and I gotta say the recent comments on East Idaho News are hilarious. Hilarious. Because all of a sudden, you know, in the last couple weeks, according to commenters, East Idaho News has transformed into left wing media.

I don't know how many of those comments I've seen. I just wanna point out to everybody that reporting the news as you know, here's what's happening. That's just reporting the news. K? But, like, I I don't know what they're supposed to do.

Just not share this information. It's just the facts of what's going on. You wanna talk about, I don't know. It's just making me a little bit nuts because I've I've worked with East Idaho News. I mean, the the we're not, like, the same company or anything, but they're on the other side of the building.

And I've watched their reporting for years. It's pretty unbiased, you know, which is great for news because most people read news that just feeds them. You know? The spin they wanna hear, they just report the news. And now all of a sudden people are losing their minds.

It's like, no. That's just what's happening in the world. So I I guess they should just stop printing the news. I guess it's not printed. Can't print things online.

But, you know, for those of you who are worried about, you know, all of the news they're reporting on, if if you don't like the realities of the world, you could just, look at, you know, some of the food items and stuff on their website or check out the new interview with Nate Eaton's daughter, Emmy, talking to little Ray Howie and Isla Fisher from the dog man movie. There you go. Some nice, wholesome, conversation, and then you don't have to worry about the news. Yeah. You st Idaho news.

I got all kinds of content there you could entertain yourself with if you don't wanna check out the realities of the world. I I saw the, newspapers in Boise are taking the same kind of flack. I'd be like pretty much everywhere that the news is being reported. All of a sudden people are, you know, losing their minds about the slant of the news changing. It's like, no.

Just the the world is operating in a much more unhinged fashion right now. Okay. So the ultimate challenge comes in the next 15 minutes when I try to find some free canoes. And plenty of it. But, you know, I'd rather talk about people getting stuck in the toilet or something than some of the real crazy going on.

I'll leave that to the comment sections, but it's been a rough couple weeks, to do a radio show where you, you know, just wanna talk about Florida man doing something stupid. You know? Alright. Wish me luck. Well, not everybody can just naturally be as cool as me, but I don't know about this guy's technique for trying to look cool.

This was a 71 year old Japanese man who wanted to look cool. So he robbed 63 houses and also treated people to expensive sushi. Now taking people out and treating them to expensive sushi, that might make you look cute. But when you need the money for that, robbing these people to get that dough, I don't think it's gonna make you look very cool. Yeah.

Is is robbing homes being a burglar? Cool. I don't think that's ever been really a a cool, I dare call it a hobby. If you wanna look cool, you just gotta get yourself, you know, some jeans and a hoodie. Dress like me.

Shave your head. Grow a beard. There you go. Then you'll look really cute. Though there are people out there currently ruining the bald head and hoodie look for me Won't get into that Shame shame shouldn't be surprised when a you know politician lets you down what else do we have here what is going on with this I'm I'm just not having computer luck today Alright.

Bigfoot Hunter's wife divorces him after cheating with x during search for monster. Hey, honey. I'm a I'm gonna go out and look for Bigfoot. I'll be back in a few days. I mean, I've heard heard some stupid excuses to get out, but, you know, if you wanna hunt Bigfoot, it's a better hobby than robbing houses.

So, you know, just while you're out hunting Bigfoot, be faithful to your significant other. It's not cue to be a cheater. You're dirtbag. Alright? Knock it off.

But she did dump him. You know? So Now he's got all the time in the world for his hobbies. The news apparently is as hard up for content as me. There was an article on The Guardian where a guy was complaining about zippers.

Yeah. Adrian Chile's. I have lost all faith in zips, and then they got a picture of a broken zipper. And, I could register for free to read the rest of it, but why do I need to get this guy's opinion about why zippers are no longer as good as they used to be? That's it.

That's it. The guardian.com. Zippers are giving me grief. Oh, gonna be a rough time till I think the weather improves and people start going outside again. But be careful when you go outside.

There was a guy in Australia attacked by a, massive 2 meter tall and 100 kilogram kangaroo. How that translates to, you know, our measurements and weight, you know, statistics or what whatever. Here in the US, I don't know. We'll just say it's big. Talked about kangaroos earlier.

Legal to keep as a pet in some places in the US. Why? This guy, he's lucky to be alive. He had, serious hip injuries, wounds to his arms and chest. He was bleeding all over the place.

Luckily, a neighbor saved him. But, again, I'd have to, register. It's quick and easy to finish reading it, and we get the gist of it. Guy attacked by kangaroo. Don't go to Australia.

Alright? It's not only kangaroos you need to worry about. Plenty of other, you know, hideous creatures out there. Which article's worth registering for? The kangaroo or the zippers?

Why am I at the guardian where every article I can't read anyway? Because I'm an idiot. Alright. We're halfway through the show. 2nd half is gonna be great.

I'm gonna jinx it right now and say the second half is gonna be one of the best radio shows I've ever done. Alright? Wish me luck. If you were planning a trip to Paris and you wanted to visit the Louvre, well, according to this article, areas have fallen into disrepair. So they're gonna do some renovations, and they want to, include a new entrance and dedicated room for the Mona Lisa.

The only reason I'm getting into this article is because I watched on YouTube recently a clip from drunk history, and I don't know if you've seen this show. You got, you know, a host that gets all hammered on whiskey, and then they give you a history lesson. You've seen it, Peaches. Right? Drunk history?

Here and there. Yeah. Well, I was watching one about the Mona Lisa. Everybody knows the Mona Lisa, probably the most famous painting of all time. Well, apparently, prior to I believe it was in the early 1900, there was a guy from Italy who moved to France, and he decided, hey.

The French stole this painting from us. I'm going to steal it back for the people of Italy. So he he was actually working at the Louvre, hid in the bathroom over the weekend, and he just walked out with it and had it just hanging out in his dining room for, like, 2 or 3 years or something. And this search for the Mona Lisa and the fact that it was stolen turned it into the most famous painting of all time. Had this guy not stolen it, it'd probably be just some other random painting that nobody gave a crap about.

And maybe a few would. The Italians, you know, that had it stolen from them. Well, it's also from Leonardo da Vinci. Yeah. He's the most famous one, I would think.

Right? He's one of the most famous painters for sure, but I'm sure he has other works that were Well, he designed the helicopter, didn't he? I know he made some designs for, like, airplanes and things like that, but, I would imagine prior to this, he had works more famous than that, but just kinda weird that a theft is what generated public interest in wanting to see it, you know, because it was just another random painting hanging up. And the only reason he wanted it was because yeah. You know, pride for my country.

They stole our stuff. I'm shocked that he was able to get away with it. Well, I've I've had a few friends that that went and saw the Mona Lisa now and it's behind some glass case. You can't get close to it. Yeah.

Clearly, especially with these people that were just throwing soup at paintings to, you know, protest things. But Yeah. Well, back in the day, again, it was it wasn't protected. Right. It wasn't anything really that special.

This? Oh, let's see. Let me look this up here. Did you say anything to be hidden in the bathroom and The moment security camera or anything like that? Stolen.

Was it years years years ago? It was August 21, 1911. Oh, so way long ago. Yeah. Yeah.

Which is, you know, why for our entire lives, I mean, you know, this was long after that. It's it's been very well known to anybody post August 21, 1911, but, yeah, kinda crazy. He just had it sitting in his house. He'd just check it out. Like, this is a great painting.

And then he contacted the authorities in Italy and were like, hey. I got it back for us. I got the Mona Lisa. And then the Italian authorities either turned him into the French. I don't remember or arrested them himself.

Imagine yourself that conversation in full on Italian. Those guys yelling back and forth with each other. You took the Mona Lisa. Yeah. Yeah.

So yeah. Just kinda interested. I haven't watched a lot of drunk history, but, you know, compared to watching the news, I mean, I'll I'll watch anything to take my mind off of, the current state of the world. So Yesterday, I was I was reading the story. I talked about it on the show about this guy who was eating the carnivore diet with loads of butter and cheese for like 6 to 9 months.

Yeah. Stewart sent me that story this morning. The yellow marks on his hands and they were comparing that to like when Mona when the Mona Lisa was painted, you can see, like, fat marks on her hands considering, like, high cholesterol or something like that. Oh, really? The whole Mona Lisa comparison on this article that I was reading.

Yeah. Just kinda weird that, that tied what why is the Mona Lisa all of a sudden appearing everywhere? Now my Reddit feed's gonna be factoids about the Mona Lisa. Well, first, it was egg prices. Now it's the Mona Lisa.

Well, I'd I'd rather learn about the Mona Lisa than hear anything about stupid egg prices. Right. Right. I need to I need to go talk to our our friends at the, crappy radio jock page and see how many radio shows they know of that have been nonstop talking about the egg prices and making bits out of it. And I guess we're just as guilty.

I've talked about it but just talked about the fact that it's not a way for people to judge what's happening with the prices of things. We go to Jade and be like, hey, listen. We're gonna give away a carton of eggs on the air. We should. We should start giving away eggs.

It's like giving away gold apparently. Right. Now I'm seeing these stupid memes again, you know, but like, on on Easter, we're gonna be painting potatoes again. It's like, oh, geez. Maybe we should switch to potatoes.

I don't know which I like better, eggs or potatoes. You can do a lot more with potato. Well, I mean, eggs are an ingredient in many things like cookies, stuff like that. But, painting potatoes. Why why isn't that an Idaho Easter tradition?

We we can start it. I mean, it's not like painting eggs makes any sense whatsoever to begin with. Has nothing to do with Easter. Well, you know what we could do is we could take those Bunnies don't lay eggs either. We could take those plastic banners and put the, the K Bear logo on your table, paint potatoes, film the whole thing, upload it online, go viral, make it a whole Idaho thing with paint potatoes.

Well, since we can't afford the Easter eggs, this is what we do in Idaho. You you're actually probably right. We could get some decent clicks out of a video like that. East Idaho News could would post about it? I would hope so.

Right? Well, be, interesting to see the comments. There you go. Pushing that leftist stuff again. Why'd you paint those eggs blue?

They should all be red. Only red paint in my house. Oh, man. The comment section at East Idaho News. I I mentioned it earlier.

It's so so unhinged right now. Excellent. I thought everyone would be all happy, you know? But but but, no, the comment section on the Internet's worse than it's ever been. Well, that's what I'm trying to talk about on my show.

Show. It's the complete opposite when it comes to concerts. You think everything after 2020 people would be thankful an artist is even going out on tour. Yeah. No.

It's like I don't want this opener. I I see people on the live stream watching Kevin Lyman yesterday on the Van's Warped Tour account on Instagram. Yeah. He went live and he's like here comes our next band. They were announcing for the lineup and then We Came as Romans comes on.

They're not the same anymore. Oh, jeez. Their lead singer's dead. So is the band. It's like okay.

They're live right there on the screen. You just sent that to them. And I mean, I do complain I was in here complaining about the computer earlier. By the way, I did get the OBS vertical, video working again. Appreciate it.

Thank you. I don't know about Voxpro. Voxpro has been weird. Yeah. It, Voxpro has been giving me some grief.

And, yeah, I don't know. Anyway, people, we hope you're having a good morning. I'm I'm managing to find content sorta now. It's better than it was earlier, but Well, now that I'm here. Now peaches is here.

All the content will just magically appear. Sure. So we'll be back. Cleaning house up in here. It's the Victor Wilt show.

Me and peaches are just folding shirts, and it's coming along. It's coming along bit by bit, Peaches. There was a whole conversation yesterday on Life in Idaho Falls talking about hip hop stations. We mentioned it on the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem powered by Jalisco's. And, I was thinking about, like, you know what?

For those people that are new to the area or are not really knowledgeable on what radio stations we have here, the right ones, I should say, that I should just put a post in there. Hey, guys. If you wanna check out live local radio, list off our stations. And I couldn't think of what exactly classy is. Are they pop slash soft rock?

Because what it's what's like outside of radio world terms, what is it called? Yeah. I mean, because radio calls it AC, adult contemporary. And everyone's gonna see that and go, they play air conditioner noises? Air conditioning noises.

That sound like terrible music. I mean, yeah. It it's kind of a mix of, you know, pop from what what are some of those stations' slogans over the years? Like, all the hits from yeah. Feel good hits from the eighties, nineties, and now.

That's what I feel like it is. Yeah, man. It's basic. It's changing soon, isn't it? Well, we've been, you know, slowly moving the playlist a little bit forward, playing more nineties because, you know, the eighties are getting to be a long time ago.

50 years ago. Mhmm. So yeah. I mean, it's still I would call pretty eighties centric, but, 40. 40 years ago.

It's kinda like an easier listening pop station. I I don't know how you'd sell it to people. I that's a good question for Josh. But yeah. Because I wanna tag all of our shows.

I wanna make sure everything is all in one post because there's been a lot of talk about, you know, hip hip hop stations and then what plays rock. And one lady thought, you know, K Bear was 105 and tagged us differently. It was a Yeah. That was a strange, I mean, I was happy she gave us a plug. Me too.

Even though the the tag, I don't know what she tagged. Well, one of our listeners even, because we know on the noon hour, we said we play more hip hop than most It's true. One of our listeners put K Bear in the comment section. I mean, we honestly do play as much rap as anybody else or at least music with honestly do play as much rap as anybody else or at least music with rap in it. We might play even more than anybody else if you look at, you know, rage against the machine type stuff, Linkin Park, papa roach.

I mean, we actually might play the most hip hop elements of anybody. But like I posted in there, I know there's a demand for a hip hop station around here. But it would suck, dude. There was one guy that was like That would be good. I was thinking about starting up a hip hop R and B station.

Like, do you have the funds for it? Well, and if you did it online, sure. Oh, in online station, nobody's going to check out. That's quite awesome. You know, if you have to have it on regular radio, the FCC rules, you know, like we talked about during the noon hour, every other word out of a lot of these hit songs is going to be edited out and it would just sound terrible.

Well, everyone makes fun of NBA 2 k because they have all these great rap songs in that game and it's so heavily edited for about 10 seconds at a time. You'll hear nothing but just the instrumental because they took out all the words Yeah. That I was saying. I know. So it would not be a good listening experience.

I know there are big cities that have hip hop stations. I listen to them. And to me, as a fan of the music, having that much of the music cut out and edited just ruins the songs. It's why we don't play a lot of different stuff on, like, jank show. Oh, it was like, Pelleface Swiss, one of the best metal bands out there right now.

Yeah. They cuss like 7th graders. We can't put them on. It it would it just wouldn't be fun to listen to those songs. So why ruin music for the sec people are just gonna end up going back to listening on Spotify where they can hear all the, you know, profanity Yeah.

And things like that. I saw one comment on that same post where some guy was like, well, good. They shouldn't be playing that, you know that too. I I don't remember exactly how it was working. We don't have or want a hip hop station or that there was one guy that said that.

All that vile content. It's like, oh my oh my goodness. Okay, boomer. Like, dude, I pointed out, you know, if you're worried about, you know, radio or something, you know, the content on radio, you know, just fire up YouTube any day. Go on Twitter.

You know? I mean, if you're worried about your kids being exposed to stuff, music's probably not what you need to be worried about right now. If you're a helicopter parent, good luck because that kid's gonna be into those things that you told them not to be into. Look at me. I work with family guy.

What you should be trying to do, keep your kids away from all that wholesome stuff. You know, you don't wanna see this wholesome stuff. Right. You don't watch the Teletubbies. Turn it off.

None none of that. It's been terrible. Alright. We're gonna take a quick break. We're gonna go back to folding shirts.

It's it's loads of fun in here. Wasn't a blast. Play some rap? Yeah. Alright.

I'll play some oh, there was a sort of rap song coming up, but I'm not gonna play that one. I'm gonna play some just straight up rap music after this, and I'll play one we've never played on Kay Bear. Alright? Hang on. Well, I unfortunately didn't get my 3rd California song in their peaches.

I was gonna go with Alice in Chains, check my brain, but I thought about it when there was about 5 seconds till spirit box played. Because I thought it would've been a good follow-up after 2 other California rap songs. That's right. You know, what's rock and roll doing what you want on the radio is rock and roll. Don't let any radio station tell you.

And we we we just can't play those heavy songs. We can't do whatever we want with the playlist. Well, with with certain, you know, like, there's certain songs we can't play. We could add a little bit to the point we could, but they'd be awful. Right.

If I put a Felipe Swiss on to the system, cuff cuff cuff. Yeah. Yeah. But we could technically do it. It just wouldn't be good.

Now you you can play whatever you want. If I wanted to throw on, Celine Dion right now, I could. If I wanted to play, Luke Combs, all you do is you drag it into the playlist. Sure. Like, the the ability is there.

Mhmm. You know, you might have a overreaching program director or someone who's gonna get on your case, call the phone. What's wrong with you? You're fired. But we didn't get a single complaint call about playing 2 rap songs in a row.

Not even a complaint about, California. So, dude, I bet California is right now probably a pretty good spot to be. What's the weather like? Was it you thinking of those fires and there's Didn't they get the fires pretty well contained? There's still another one.

No. Yeah. Well But I mean, it's you know, Malibu is closed indefinitely now, and I was just talking about it on the show yesterday. You know, Malibu and those beaches up north or northern of northern of my area, all those people are now gonna come down to the OC area and then flock into the Huntington Beach and, you know, Laguna Beach as well, fill up those spaces as if as if they weren't crowded already. Yeah.

I saw a, before and after photo of the mountains of Palisades. Yeah. Holy cow. I've liked those before. Crazy.

Many times. It was wild. You know? Fully, packed with houses and businesses and, you know, fully developed and now just nothing. Just nothing.

Pretty crazy. So it's been a rough January, man. January been pretty messed up. It's been a very long January too. Dude, exhausting.

And we're the 1st month in to 2025. I know. It's like, can can it tone now? I was talking with Judith about this yesterday. Like, the crazy's gotta lose momentum eventually.

It's it's just gotta it can't keep up at this pace. A lot of people are just fatigued for the most part. We're now seeing a lot of people just exit social media, get off Facebook and stuff, which is good because it's like every single comment, no matter what, somebody's complaining about something. Yeah. I mean, I get on it mainly for work stuff.

Yeah. I just post in Ghost. I still catch myself, you know, scrolling a bit, and I I try to engage, but then next thing I know, I'm, like, trying to point out something stupid to somebody. And it's pointless because I know you're not gonna change anybody's minds. I did go in to the Life in Idaho Falls Facebook group and just start defending us because, you know, someone was asking about the hip hop stations.

Yeah. I I did chime in on that, like, here's why a hip hop station would suck. But then nobody's gonna read that long paragraph, unfortunately, and just continue spouting ignorance. Yeah. It's it's like us talking about this type of thing on the air.

I guarantee hardly anyone's gonna be convinced. Like, I guarantee every radio group in the area has thought about a hip hop station because hip hop's one of the most popular formats of music. It stopped with the country overabundance and Yeah. We do have way too many country stations, but just when we've thought about a hip hop station, it just won't work good. You know, if you were only able to play songs that, were super clean and didn't have a million edits, it would, it would just be awful.

You just play the kids Bob versions of every every song. Like the ones we just played, they changed the words and stuff so there's not big gaps with no lyrics or, you know, a bunch of beeps or blank sounds. So that's tolerable. But even those that we just played, they're not anywhere near as good as the originals. You know?

There's still you know, people like the vibes, but I don't know, man. I think until the FCC changes their rules on language, you're not ever gonna see a good hip hop station on regular radio. Which makes you wonder, are are they ever going to change the rules? Not not now. That's for sure.

Everyone's competing with podcasts and streaming and all. There's so many options nowadays. It's ridiculous. I can't see the FCC, changing their stance anytime soon on language stuff. Yeah.

Like, I I was laughing at the people paying for Sirius XM and talking about how they have a subscription to it on that post and Facebook. Have a hip hop station that's unedited. Yeah. But it's also terribly sounding. Yeah.

But most people don't I we've talked about that off air. I don't think most people notice actual audio quality. Oh, it's my main thing. Because Sirius XM sounds not good. Right.

You know, it's it's it sounds like bad m p threes, but the average person doesn't notice that. You know? We we work in audio production, so we're gonna notice every little thing. You know? I did notice some, somewhat of a mistake.

If it is a mistake in the work of art from Ice Nine kills What was it? You can hear someone go oof towards the end of the song. You should hear it. It's it's pretty funny. I mean, the end of that toward the end of that song, it gets pretty silly with you.

Well, you won't you won't unhear it. My friend Brandon was like, dude, you gotta hear this part of it. Like, 3 it's like 3 minutes and 30 seconds in. Okay. Let's let's hear it.

You just hear this, and a listener just telling me it's Spencer getting shot in the music video. But I'm like why would they record why would they have that in the recording? Yeah. Because they didn't put all the the gun sounds or anything. No.

It sounds like someone made a mistake because it Brandon, I think, is somewhat of a musician. He plays the guitar and stuff. And he said, like, it it changes key and then all of a sudden you hear someone go, oh, like someone knocked something over. Alright. Let's, I'm I'm around a little after 3 minutes in.

Let's check it out here. I did hear the oof. The the oof. Right there. Hold on.

That does sound like a mistake. And it doesn't sound in the video, I don't remember there being a oof. It reminds me of, Sting when he accidentally sat on that keyboard in Roxanne and you hear that in the beginning part of the song and then you hear him laughing because he just Yeah. He made a mistake there. My favorite one my favorite mistakes, Megadeth, their cover of Paranoid where they were all supposed to stop and the drummer kept going.

And Dave is yelling, Nick. Nick. Nick. And at the end of the song is him yelling Nick over and over and over again. Yeah.

It's it's kinda cool when they leave in some of those mistakes. Makes it a little more human. That's kinda one of the problems with newer music is it's also perfect. You know, everything recorded to a click track and just no mistakes allowed. One of the things I like about older recordings, you know, you hear mistakes, the timing might get a little bit off.

And that's why, you know, you go see a band like tool live where they don't play to a click track. It's kinda fun because you'll hear every once in a while, they get a little bit off with each other, and you're like, oh, they're really playing. You know? I mean, that whole laptop thing, there is something to be said about all of these background elements that keep things perfectly locked in. You know?

I heard tool make some mistakes at shows, and I was like, that's awesome. Tool screwed up. And you don't generally hear that with shows because everything is so perfectly timed and, you know, there's a lot of computer assistance. I did notice when me and my dad saw ELO live at the forum, one of his musicians made a mistake, and Jeff Lyn just looks at him like the whole entire rest of the song and just stares at the guy that made the mistake. Dude, it's, like I said, kind of fun when you hear that because you know you're getting a real live show.

Uh-huh. I think I even heard the the the King Crimson, band, you know, with Steve Vai, Adrian Beaulieu. I think there were some parts where they got a little bit off, which, you know, is not surprising playing that kind of prog. Were people. And especially when you do complex songs like those guys, it's tough.

I can't believe death clock didn't do it didn't have any mistakes during their set. Crazy. Death clock and they're in the dark. Like, I I was very impressed. It goes to show how talented that lead that lead guy is.

President named Brandon. Is that his name? Brendan Small. Brendan Small. It show it shows how talented he is.

He can do those voices. He can do the music for the show. He can play the guitar and then also do the vocals and Yeah. Singing and playing while ripping these crazy guitar solos. And he's also incredibly humble because I I I remember your interview and he was like, yeah.

Like, I play with Gene Hoglund and these world class musicians and I'm a nobody. Yeah. He's talented too. Yeah. You're not a nobody, man.

I watched you play live in the dark. Like Seth MacFarlane too. He can sing opera. He can compose classical music. He does all these different voices.

Yeah. Very impressive for sure. There's there's a lot of underrated performers out there for sure. So another reason you should get out and see every single show you can. Right.

If you can pull it off, you can afford it, go to every show you can, even artists you're not interested in because you may end up having your mind blown. I mean, Primus, I'm not the biggest fan of recording wise, but I mean, that live show is fun. Oh, dude. That it was wonderful. It was wonderful.

The Les Claypool on the bass is a great guy. Absolutely, man. Alright. We're gonna go do some more laundry. We'll be back.

Now sleep theories, have they announced a tour yet? Are they coming to Salt Lake? I don't think so. Okay. Maybe I just heard rumblings of that happening soon.

Cool. Now, haven't seen any big show announcements yet today, but I'm I'm chomping at the bit for something around here. My friends were trying to plan a trip and they keep fluctuating dates. They're like end of June, now end of July. And I'm like, dude, keep July open because I don't know if I'll have to, you know, I go to a show and do stage time and all that stuff and I can't get all my friends into this show.

My, you know, I can only get myself into the show, that type of thing. Mhmm. Keep talking, peaches. I'm taking a drink here. Keep yapping.

Well, that that was pretty much it. You're just taking a drink. You're over here coughing into this in the mic. Yeah. I think kicking up all this dust.

I think, my name's Victor Wilt. Yeah. The dust is getting me. Dust is getting to me. I guess I should take an allergy pill.

I was starting to fill it yesterday pretty bad out, you know, at home, I think, from kicking up all the dust around here. So, like, Lucy jumped up on me and I'm like I know these cats that I see that are up for adoption from Snake River Animal Shelter, the Idaho Falls Animal Shelter. Every single time I see one of them, I mean, I would I kinda only get one. And then I saw I saw this one yesterday. His name was like Sir Mustache or whatever it was.

I saw that one. That that one was so cool. That was a cute looking kitty. Mhmm. I was like, man, should I?

Well, you know, it is expensive. Oh, yeah. You know, I'll give you that because Get the litter and everything and food and Well, in the first round, when you get a new pet, you know, you gotta take them in to get them checked out. Right. You know, you need to get them fixed potentially.

Usually from the animal shelter, they'll include the 1st round of shots and, getting them fixed in the adoption price. But if you're like me and you get a, you know, rando cat from Lieutenant Crane's garage, then you just gotta take him to the vet and pay full price. It was very expensive to get Lucy fixed and all her shots. And, yeah, then you gotta buy all the stuff. You know, you need food, toys, litter box.

You gotta basically turn your life off because they need attention. You know? My whole summer was spent raising a kitten. You know? I didn't do much of anything the whole summer.

And also that's the thing too is I'm I'm out of the house most of the time I'm here. Yeah. And I don't wanna, like, leave them in the cold because I don't turn my heater on all that much. They're gonna be freezing in there. Well, I think if they're in 60 degree weather in a house, they're covered with fur, they'll be okay.

But if it's, like, negative, you know, outside and the the building that I'm in doesn't do well with the cold because the cold air does get in. But they do you know, people think, you know, cats are easy and don't you you gotta give them a lot of attention. You definitely do. So that was another reason I got a second cat because my first cat was losing his mind being home by himself all day. He got way, way needy, so he's much less bored now.

So you'd have to get 2 peaches being a solo guy, I think. You know? But then you do have someone to talk to at home. You know, they keep you company. I just talk to them and then meow.

Yeah. I talk to the cats all day. You know. It it it it's better than having no one around. But see, I can't, like, pick cats up.

I'm afraid I'm gonna hurt them. We we used to the the beagle that we used to have were over. He was a bigger dude. He had a sensitive stomach. Every time you'd pick him up, you know, he'd make that noise.

Oh, yeah. And Cats well, most cats like to be picked up. And it's like, what if I take them to the vet, they start scratching me, then I get all, you know, cut up from the cat's claws or whatever? Yeah. I mean, I've got you know, usually, I've got cat scratches.

Right now, I I don't appear to. Maybe a little one there, but cat scratches don't hurt too bad, you know, unless you get a real vicious cat. No. See, I don't want a real vicious cat. I want an easy going easy going nice one.

Well, that's why you pick one out. You know, you go to the animal shelter and you check them all out and you find one that's got the right vibe. But who wants a vicious cat? And actually Is it the same? Don't know.

They just kinda turn out that way. I was about to say, are they the same people that go, I can fix him or something like that. You know? Like, I I can fix this vicious cat, and they bring home this cat that just shish kebabs them every time. And then you see them on those, TV shows like, Cesar Millan or whatever where they have to, like, come in and train the cat themselves because they're just ruling the house.

Yeah. But yet they're keen. Karen got a cat and it was the sweetest little kitten. It was you know, when they got it, it was sick, so they had to get it some treatment and stuff. And it was, you know, had, like, a runny nose, and it was just all sweet.

Was it Cerise? Cerise? Yeah. Cerise is one of the most insane cats I've ever seen. Like, she, she goes feral if there's food around.

I gave her, a big stack of these meat sticks that Koopa really likes and turned her cat into a a vicious beast every time she gets one of those dogs. My dad used to have a cat my parents used to have a cat named Pepper. And it was all nice and sweet, and all of a sudden, it would just turn mean, and it would bite my dad's nose when he was asleep. He he would paw on my dad's face. We had a big fat cat named Marty when I was growing up.

We had one named Sam that was big fat and he hated other cats. He only loved people. Like, if he saw another cat, he would just get he's about £25, big fat cat would just see him and just glare at the Murray didn't like anyone. Like, he he would he he liked my mom and he liked, you know, us, like the kids. Pretty decent, but But see who wants those cats?

They're they're just gonna try to rule the house. Yeah. And he did. He'd like lay on the table all fat and mean and he'd walk by him and he'd Yeah. See, it's like what do you think you are?

You know? But I like that. That's when he get that's when he get the water gun, you guys. It was just his personality, you know? My favorite video that I've seen recently, I meant to send it to you, was the, the cat in the washing machine.

It would take naps in the washing machine. Oh, no. Oh, I don't wanna see that. No. But this cat so they taught it a lesson to never go in the washing machine again.

They had the lid open. They turned it on and the water started pouring off. Oh, okay. And your man jumps out. I don't I'm always tear or not quite as much anymore, but when Lucy was little, I was terrified because she follows me everywhere I do chores.

And I thought because there was one time she walked into the fridge, and I didn't see her. And I shut the fridge, and then I'm looking around for her. Like, where where is Lucy? She was just here. Open the fridge.

She's just in there. Like, what are you doing? Jeez. I feel like I would have to get, like, one all black cat and then, like, another one that has a cool design on it. I I wanna avoid the orange cats.

I feel like those are the most wild ones. That's what you hear, but I don't I don't know. I don't know. Taryn's cat is the craziest cat I've ever seen, and it's, it's Same with Pepper. Pepper was like a Siamese or something.

Mostly black cat and went wild. Yeah. You know? Marty was just a a big white cat. Bandit was the best.

Bandit was the Siamese cat. He was named Bandit because I told the story on the air to you about how, like, he would take money from my dad. My dad was accusing my mom's dad of taking the money. Turns out it was the cat. Because he would put all his cash in a jar to save up for vacation and it would just go missing.

Ah. And then one day he lifted up a cushion on the couch and sure enough, all the money's under there. It was the and he he used to take the comforter off my parents' bed and ride it down the stairs. Sounds like that cat had a pretty fun life. It'd be great, wouldn't it?

Alright. Peaches, what's this thing you keep doing on your phone? This, roll the dice or whatever you're doing to give yourself a celebrity? So on Discord, we have this bot. It's called the Muday bot and you can either roll, waifus or husbands on either one.

You basically just collect cards. Okay. It's all that you do. Okay. And the female characters, there's there's not too many on this one.

So I kinda just, you know, roll either one occasionally, but I do it every 3 hours because that's when it resets. Okay. And so I'll I'll even remind myself like, oh, it's 9:22. I gotta go to my phone and roll. I I just got Vecna and then this morning at 622, I rolled on the treadmill and I got Chief Keith.

Now who's Chief Keith? Yeah. Come on. You're you're the music director. You gotta know who Chief Keith is.

I don't know who Chief Keith is. We just played a little bit of rap too. Come on. Well, you know If you want a hip hop station, you gotta play some Chief Keith. Boy, Young Thug?

Yeah. I bet we we ain't gonna have a hip hop station. So I'm checked out. Chief Keef. Checked out of the hip hop world.

Back in the day, he, paid he was speeding on the on the, highway in California. Cop pulls him over. He just hands him, like, a giant wad of cash and says get lost and keeps driving fast. Wow. That's gotta be nice to be able to do.

Did he get in trouble for that? I'm trying to bribe the police? Yeah. Yeah. Of course.

Okay. I thought it was one of those, like, TikTok things where it's, you know, find your celebrity crush or something. And, you know, I I had no idea what you were rolling there. Okay. And every 3 hours, there's there's also a Pokemon bot where you can just catch a you put semi colon Pokemon and it just gives you a random Pokemon.

I have 702. Man, you guys making me feel like I'm not such a nerd anymore. This is great. It's all I need is one more thing that I gotta go check every 3 hours and do. It was kind of funny.

My daughter was playing Pokemon go when she was here. Yeah. And I didn't realize people still played that game. There's a few. I mean, I played it back in 2016 and that was when it was huge and me, my ex, and her mom would go down to Seal Beach and we'd just walk the beach and go find and all of a sudden an aerodactyl pops up on the pier and you should have seen the people sprint and I mean sprint to the end of the pier.

I've never seen so many people get cardio done in their entire lives. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. It was a pretty addictive game.

I I did play it a little bit. Now people are collecting those cards again and ruining it for people who wanna collect those cards. They're fighting. They're trying to, you know, invest in these cards so that way they just get, you know, somehow like that PSA 10 Charizard that's worth tons of money or whatever and they could sell it at auction. So you have these people going to Costco getting these giant boxes buying the entire section and there was literally a story out of California where 2 guys in Costco fought each other over Pokemon cards.

Wild, man. Did you imagine, like, oh, dad got arrested. He was trying to get Pokemon cards to flip. Yeah. You don't wanna be an embarrassment to your children.

Yeah. It's one of my greatest fears being an embarrassment to my children. Yeah. That would not be cool. Yeah.

No. There was a whole story I talked about yesterday for what the headline about the, principal and the teacher having a, booze filled party with their students. The full name, school name got dropped in the article. I even said it on the air. I'm like, if this is getting shared online, that person's never working again.

Their entire full name. Oh, so what made you lose your last job? Oh, I, decided to give alcohol to a bunch of high schoolers. We made a party at one of the houses. Okay.

Yeah. You're done. Exactly. That kind of stuff sticks, and people Google you now. You know, they'll Google you and they'll they'll check out your social media pages.

I mean, it's almost not worth having a social media page. Yeah. My parents used to laugh at those kids that were my age that were sharing this crazy stuff online. Mhmm. And, like, they would share, like, you know, the particular green stuff on their Instagrams.

Yeah, dude. Like, dude I saw a lot of people do that when especially back in the Myspace days because, you know, pretty much everybody that was using Myspace was doing it on a computer. So, you know, you didn't really worry about, like, oh, the boss is checking or something like that. So there used to be all kinds of crazy stuff on Myspace. I'm sure there are a lot of people that are very glad their entire Myspace profile has been wiped clean and no longer exists because that was a different world back then.

Oh, I've been meaning to go back to Facebook and see if there's any old photos. I'm like, you know what? This is kinda cringe. I'm just gonna delete these. I have so many photos of mine.

I I didn't even think about it. I bet I have stupid photos too. I know there's one of you and Jade with Chris Motionless. It's pretty funny. Oh, yeah.

One we couldn't post online. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's a great photo. It's a good photo.

I remember when we took that photo, and being bummed we couldn't put it on the the main page. Yeah. There was a certain gesture Right. That, was I think it was Chris. Right?

Probably. I think so. Yeah. I'm sure he's the one who started it. Yeah.

So that that gesture, bosses didn't like that on social or at least we assumed. You know, we always play it safe. Best to not get yelled at. Alright. Still doing laundry.

That's right. Doing our chores around here. We're almost done, though. Thank you. Yeah.

Can't wait. Got a couple XLs left, but all the stuff is off the floor. And that's that's great. Then we can get this desk cleaned up, get that desk cleaned up, and then we just gotta figure out the other half of the room. Now I I think I'm gonna have to dig into more lights from home or something like that because we need something back there.

I can we gotta find a backdrop and something to light it up, you know, because can't have that side not looking like this side. You know, I don't think we'll have enough light to light it up like this, but soon enough, we'll do some live video and you can see all of our, hard work. Yeah. I was waiting for payday to get a small black, blackout curtain for that window because that that flag is starting to annoy me because it's really thin. I mean, you can see right through it in every video.

It's awful. Even this camera that I brought in. For some reason, when you have these lights on above, it seems like we're in heaven. It's like it's so bright on the screen. I'm like, what's what's the difference now?

Like, between that one and that one? This camera and that camera. It it'll look that way on mine now. See? It's because the lights are on.

The cameras are dialed in to not have the lights on. So look at that. Looks great. Oh, much better. Looks top notch.

I'm I'm liking it. So, yeah, I know that this is a useless break, listeners. Sorry. It's okay, peaches. It it was a rough morning again.

You know, it's all politics and tragedy. Yeah. The plane crashed. Very tragic. Yesterday was a rough day.

Did you see the, motor home that crashed into the, Portniff in Pocatello? I did. I did. It was kinda kinda chaos yesterday. Wonder how you do that, but I I would also think, you know, with my turning skills, I probably would do the same thing.

Now I don't know if the roads are snowy in Pocatello, but that area of town, I lived in that area of town. And Is it slick there? It can be very slick and also, it's on this, you know, you're on hill. Hills. Oh.

So I could imagine if particular roads, I'm guessing what happened looking at the photo is that they slid down the hill and went through the fence. Did they get rescued? I think so. I think it was fine. And and, it wasn't like I don't think it's super deep there or anything like that.

Saw the RV was just sitting on the water, and they had rescued the 2 people and the dog. Yeah. I I didn't read any updates, but I'm I'm assuming that they're that everybody was okay. So I hope so. Anyhow, it's gotta be terrifying even if it's, because in the that section of the port and it's just surrounded by concrete walls, it's not like you can just get out and climb out.

No. You're stuck in there. So hopefully, a mellow day in the news today. And hopefully, a nice easy February and not some crazy January. Yeah.

That that'd be great. That'd be great. And, actually, if you did get a blackout curtain, we could put it behind that and then put that over it, and then it wouldn't be see through. But it would be better to get a vertical flag to hang there. Something like that.

But is there like a a flag thick enough that it Well, I think you'd still have to put a blackout curtain behind it. Okay. You know? But Gotcha. I don't know.

I mean, we brought in mine from my room at one point. Yeah. And I'd like to get different blackout curtains for the you know, even there. Something that we could put an actual mount above the window and, because see how the sides and the top, get the light creeping through, just try to black out, you know, all the edges, but blackout curtains, 100% blackouts. They're, you know, not cheap.

Oh, of course. Anyway, I buy that kind of stuff from my house. Alright. Sorry, listeners. I know this is stupid.

We'll be back. The laundry's done. Alright. Now do I still have the broom in here? Yeah.

Yep. In the corner. Sweep this place a little bit. Kick up some more dust. Oh boy.

Yeah. Look, I got Sm allergy pills right here in the bag. Yeah. I took one. But wait, these are antihistamines.

I can't take, I don't wanna take those. Hey, everybody. I'm peaches. I'm gonna take nap now. We do have new couch, new couch in the break room.

Yeah. I'm not laying down on that thing. It's too tiny. Yeah. You would need, quite the couch to be able to, lay down and take a nap on the couch.

I might be able to get away with it. You know? But I'm sure someone will wake me up, Jade. Well, you need to do some more work, dude. Come on.

Why don't you get some dinner in here? Anyway, hopefully by noon, we got 2 hours to find, you know, a few stories to talk about, so we should be able to pull it off. Wish us luck. For sure. We'll pull it off somehow, everybody.

Anyhow, thanks for your help. Thanks for your support. Thanks for listening. Bye bye now. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show.
