The Viktor Wilt Show

Yo. What's happening? It's Viktor Wilt. Morning to you, and welcome to the program or good afternoon or whatever time it might be when I eventually get around to uploading the on demand version of this show. Think I'm three episodes behind right now.

Just gets worse and worse as it piles up. Oh, well, get caught up eventually. Alright. What's going on on the internet today aside from political garbage? Let's see.

Things that Reddit is scared of. Sure. Harmless things that people are scared of. Now knowing the Internet, there are going to be a bunch of things in this list that are actually harmful because people don't know how to properly answer a question. Don't really think it through.

I'm afraid of driving a car, and I know it's totally harmless. Yeah. Until you end up having to call the advocate's injury attorneys. Alright. Let's see what we got.

Phone calls. Okay. They have the potential to be harmful. Sorry to break it to you. There's a reason to be afraid of phone calls.

I know when my phone rings, depending on who it is, immediately, my gut just sinks. Like, if my sister calls me, she only calls me if there's, you know, some kind of a problem going on. Somebody's passed away or, you know, somebody's in the hospital. I don't know. The sky's on fire.

The only I don't know. There's maybe only a couple people that if I get a phone call, I don't panic. My lady and, you know, Peaches because Peaches calls regularly. Most of the time, you can just text me Peaches. It's okay.

But, yeah, phone call could definitely be harmful mentally. So so far, we're zero for one on harmless things that you're afraid of. All right. What what else do we got? House centipedes.

Now are house centipedes really harmless? Let me look up what a house centipede is. Dude, those those don't look harmless. Are they really harmless? Those things are scary.

I think, a while back on the show, I was talking about being under the auditorium in Pocatello High School when we were doing a little bit of a, you know, areas you don't see kind of tour for my video production class. And I think I said I saw a silverfish in there. It was not that. It was this, a house centipede. Now let's see if they're really harmless.

Harmful to humans. Not generally not generally harmful to humans, but a bite feels like a bee sting. And then it looks like two puncture wounds similar to a spider bite. It might rarely happen, but they are not harmless. Alright?

If something can bite you and it hurts, that is not completely harmless. Maybe you're not gonna die. Alright. Zero for two. How about the dark?

No. You should be afraid of the dark. I don't know. Maybe not if you're just in your house. Doors are locked.

You know it's secure. But I tell you what. You go take a walk in the woods by yourself in the dark bad things can happen all right we got mountain lions out there people mountain lions and they might be hungry I'm going zero for three on the dark not not being harmful Alright. Checking my bank account. Again, back to mental and emotional harm.

It's funny that one popped up and having to pay the winter utility bills and so much stuff for my daughter in college taking all my money. Don't worry, I'll. You know, we'll eventually get ahead. Right? Yeah.

At what point do you get ahead? And that's what I'm wondering at my age. Like, alright. I'm I'm getting by. I've got my necessities taken care of, but catching up, that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon.

My daughter needs to graduate college and get a job. Public speaking could be harmful emotionally you do a really bad job I've done some bad stage announcements before that was a little bit emotionally harmful oh somebody put down time time can definitely be harmful alright the longer it goes on the worse you're gonna get talk to anybody who's older them problems start creeping in ducks they're a bird I guarantee ducks could harm you It probably doesn't happen very much, but don't they got little little sharp teeth inside of those bills? You get bit by a duck, I bet it hurts. Don't feel great. Horses?

Really? Horses can kill you. They can bite you. They can just kick you in the head, and you're dead. No one thinks horses are harmless.

Alright? I like horses, but I mean, I wouldn't call a cat harmless either. Alright? I got the, scars to prove it. Cats can harm you.

Okay. Grasshoppers. Can grasshoppers bite you? Let's see. Can grasshoppers bite?

I'm not the first to ask this. Okay. It says yes. They can bite but it's rare and their bites are usually harmless. Usually.

Grasshoppers then? Not harmless. Not if they're not always harmless. Moths. A moth could potentially be harmless but are moths poisonous?

I bet there are some. Most aren't but some are. So moths are okay. We got nothing on this list that in my personal opinion is actually harmless. Puking?

I think puking can do some real damage to your, you know, like, throat lining, esophagus, or about I'm no doctor, but, I think it could do a little bit of harm. Anybody who's, like, hardcore puked before knows you might be a little uncomfortable afterward. And I would say if you're feeling a little bit of pain, not harmless. The dentist? Now the dentist, they're ultimately fixing things, but, what's this?

A no pain, no gain situation? And the dentist is just a person. They can screw up. K? So I wouldn't say the dentist is harmless.

Alright. Anyway, I'm not gonna keep going through this list because I think we would find that everything on here could actually harm you in some way. Bridges? They collapse sometimes. Alright?

Not gonna go bridges are harmless. You ever driven across that bridge at Astoria, Oregon that goes from Oregon to Washington? It's terrifying. I mean it's so far has been harmless but it's terrifying and terror that could be emotional harm. Alright.

We'll see what else we could dig up as we get the program going. If you need to get a hold of me, (208) 535-1015, the number to call, and, I'll be right back. Cool? Alright. Guess it's just gonna be a morning where I beat up on lists online, Call them out for being incorrect, inaccurate.

Right now, I'm looking at a list of healthy food that tastes just as good as unhealthy food. Okay. Well, taste is subjective. We shall see. As someone who likes unhealthy food I mean, most people do.

Right? But most people probably try to avoid it. Mhmm. It's tough when you live alone. You know?

I'm not gonna take the time to cook up an elaborate meal for me. K? When the kids are around or, you know, a guest or something, maybe. But just me? No.

It just takes too much time, makes too many dishes, so I end up eating junk. Well, I don't know. Not all the time. Now I mow down lots of salad, but yesterday, for example, free cheeseburger. You sent you think I'm gonna turn that down?

No. Couldn't. Stuck in my head. There's a free cheeseburger floating around out there. Just gotta go pick it up.

Alright. Let's see about healthy food that tastes just as good as unhealthy food. Juicy mango and juicy raspberries. Now those are both really good. I'm not gonna say they're not.

Okay. If I had a plate of raspberries or a cheeseburger, and they're like, alright. Just pick one. This isn't fair because I'm pretty sure to me cheeseburger's gonna always win. It's gonna win every single time.

Brutal beef. Let's see here. A nice crisp apple that's perfectly sweet and a watermelon at the height of summer. Now that's good. Sure.

I like apples. I've got a couple that have been sitting on my counter for about a week. Have I dove into them? No. They're good too.

They're those, cosmic crisp. I think those are pretty good. There's definitely better fruit than apples and cheeseburger or apple. Yeah. Game over cheeseburger.

Let's see. I gotta think of something other than a cheeseburger. It's just not fair. Okay. Let's go Reese's or an apple.

Come on. I think we know which one's gonna win. All right. What else do we have that's healthy and tastes just as good? Pistachios?

Yeah. Sorry. I'm gonna stick with, chocolate covereds, pistachios, pishtasios. That shouldn't be a hard word to say, but, yeah. You add chocolate to them.

They're gonna be better. What else do we have here? Peaches. Worst fruit ever. Now peaches are pretty good, but, I I still think that, Reese's wins.

Someone just put fruit. There's gotta be some lousy fruit out there. Greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream in recipes. I mean, I'm not big on sour cream anyway. I don't know.

I don't know on that one. Reese's is still better. Honeycrisp apples, they're good, but they're not as good as the Snickers. Not exactly a food, but cinnamon. It makes everything you put on it taste sweet and fatty.

That yeah. It's not a food. It's a seasoning. You can't, like, fill yourself up on cinnamon. Don't try it.

K? If you've never seen the videos of people trying to mow down a spoonful of cinnamon, You're gonna have a really bad time if you try to fill yourself up on it. Alright. Dried mango tastes like hairy gummy bears. K?

That's a way to make dried mango sound sound kind of, disgusting. You don't wanna think about hairy food. Alright? Is is there any such thing as good hairy food? Not that I can think of.

Not without getting rid of the hair. You're not gonna just take a bite out of, a kiwi, are you? No. That'd be disgusting. Pineapple is delicious.

I don't know if it beats Snickers. Alright. Sushi. Great. Sushi's great.

Not always healthy though. The healthy rolls are the ones that you don't wanna order. They're boring. Right? Could I get the sweet potato roll, please?

My daughter loves those. I'm like, why why would you get that when you have all all of these other unhealthy delicious sushi options that are covered in sauces and deep fried and things like that. Man, I eat terrible. Hummus. Alright.

Hummus is good. It's not as good as Reese's, but it's pretty good. Alright. That's enough of that. So if a guy walked into the place you work or a business you own and he just started barking like a dog and wouldn't stop, how long would it take for you to call the cops?

Well, apparently, in Florida, about an hour. An hour of sitting there putting up with this guy in your auto parts store, just this was, an advanced auto parts in Forsyth or Forsyth. So you got the cops called. Man reported to have been at the store for over an hour barking like a dog, so they show up and they're like, what's going on, Jonathan? And he's like well I had no idea I was causing any issues dude you're being a pest you're being an annoyance that's an issue I mean thirty seconds of a man parking like a dog, and I'd be fed up.

I don't even know if I'd make it to thirty seconds. Very few, situations in which I lose my patience, but I think I might actually go, dude, stop it. Shut up. What what is wrong with you? Well, you could probably guess what's wrong with this man.

They went out and searched his vehicle, found a clear baggie sitting on the seat packed with syringes and a clear crystal substance. Yeah. Just sitting on the seat. Don't do meth, kids. K?

Or adults, people of any age. Meth is bad. Okay. So, yeah, it didn't help. He had a warrant out for his arrest anyway.

When they asked him what the stuff in the syringe was, he's like, it's blood. They're like, well, dude, it's clear. We don't know what, star system you come from, but around here, blood is red, buddy. So makes me feel a little bit better about the things that annoy me at work. Yeah.

At least nobody's barking like a dog for an hour straight. Can you imagine if I did that on the radio? I mean, it it would get tiring really fast. I mean, you gotta give the guy a little bit of props for keeping it up for a full hour. Try barking like a dog.

Do that for an hour. No. I I actually don't want you to lose your sanity, so don't do it. Now this is more of the Florida response I would expect from an irritating customer. The last story, you know, we talked about the guy who showed up at an auto parts store and barked for an hour straight before they finally got sick of it and called the cops.

Well, let's head over to a local hot wings restaurant in Port Saint Lucie, Florida. Wing stop. Little after 11PM. So, you've got some customers who were causing a scene and knocked over a container of straws. Oh, woah.

I'd say that's worth throwing hot grease all over them. Not really. Not really. I mean, she really did throw hot grease at a couple of, teenagers. Both of them appearing to have burns all over their skin and then maybe to try to cool it down a little bit, she threw a little bit of ranch dressing on them.

I don't think the ranch is gonna really make up for the the hot grease. Yeah. I mean, I've dealt with irritating customers before. I worked in Burley for a long time. So anybody who's been to Burley knows about irritating people.

You know? And I'm sorry, Burley. I don't mean to throw so many jabs, but it's Burley. Alright? And I remember what it was like to live there, and I remember the news stories.

The Times news in Twin Falls may have stopped printing them, but that doesn't mean the crazy ain't still happening. Burley, the Florida of East Idaho. Every day, there was Florida man style news, Burley man, but the Times news stopped printing it. It was very disappointing. Anyway, yeah.

Best thing to do if you're dealing with irritating customers, ask them to leave or call the cops. If you throw hot grease on them from the fryer, you're going to go to jail. Not worth it. Not worth it. Everybody needs a paycheck in this day and age and, yeah, that kind of puts a stop to it.

Okay. So don't leave your fireworks laying around even if they're just sold as poppers. Now we had some of these last fourth of July. These are, like, heavy duty big poppers. They kinda look like firecrackers, and they're packaged in, like, a foil packaging, kinda like, oh, what's that what's that kinda gum?

I don't know. I don't know why I can't think of what I'm trying to say. But, anyway, apparently, they look a lot like a Chinese candy and, that candy is called taro. It's packaged the exact same way and a woman in China thought that's what these were. So she popped one in her mouth, bit down, and bam!

Yeah, exploded right in her face. She had lesion marks on the inside of her cheeks, felt numbness in her mouth, and I guess just was pummeled with the, strong smell of gunpowder. Now she ended up being okay, but she wanted to let everybody know the packaging could be misleading to people who are familiar with taro candy. Now these are hardcore poppers, like I said. I don't think I'd wanna even try a regular popper in my mouth, but these things are loud.

I mean, they sound like firecrackers, so just be cautious. Don't leave your fireworks laying around. You know, they might look like a delicious treat. They kinda look like the, meat sticks that I give to my cats that they're just crazy about. So, yeah, I gotta keep that in mind.

I don't got any fireworks laying around that I'm aware of, but always best to be a bit cautious. Oh, speaking of toxic. Okay. I think that well, most people. I I don't know most people, but definitely some people worry about going to a hotel room and picking up bed bugs.

Grody. Grody. Right? So you're always happy when you hear that hotels are trying to do things to mitigate problems like that. Well, well, unless you end up dead.

Jeez. Two tourists have died from suspected pesticide poisoning after their hostel in Sri Lanka was fumigated for bed bugs. That's pretty sad. Young people, 24 year old and 26 year old. One from England, One from Germany, both staying in the miracle Colombo city hostel in the Sri Lankan capital.

And, yeah, apparently I I don't know. I would assume they didn't fumigate while they were in there, but, I mean, they are dead. Anyway, they they haven't done the autopsy, but they suspect that's what's been going on there. So I don't know. If you read hotel reviews for a place you're about to stay and people are like, I found bed bugs, and you call the hotel and you're like, I don't wanna stay there.

And they're like, don't worry. We fumigated the rooms. Well, how long ago did you leave a window open? I mean, I'm still gonna cancel. Thankfully, this place is shut down for the time being, but, you know, that's that's just terrible.

Just awful. Glad I could share some, you know, just bleak bummer news with you this morning. You might just be enjoying a nice stay in Sri Lanka, and then you're you're dead. Oh, sorry. I don't know if that came across right.

Now as someone who doesn't hunt, I don't know when hunting season is. So I I don't know if that's happening around here right now. But if you're going to hunt on land, you need to make sure to check if that is public land or if you're on private property. And if you're on private property, you need to get a little bit of permission. You can't just haul your porta potty.

This is just so funny looking. Some guy turned a porta potty into a deer blind. You know, like, people will usually put these up in a tree, a place you can hide and just, I don't know, wait for deer to show up. This guy took a bunch of black and green spray paint and just spray painted the outside of a porta potty, carved a hole in the side, and, that's that's where he would hunt from. I guess it's as effective as anything else, but, he was on private property, and it wasn't the first year he'd been doing this.

I guess game wardens in Texas had been trying to catch the guy for a bit. How long has the toilet been there? You know, if you were really trying to catch the guy, you only just discovered it's not like it was very well hidden. I'm looking at a picture of it. K?

It's clearly a porta potty just in the middle of the woods and it's right by a trail. Well, anyway, I guess, they still haven't caught the guy so I don't know. Maybe they've known about the toilet for a long time. I don't know. I would hope it was a new porta potty.

Nothing worse than sitting in a, you know, just dookie filled canister. Out in the well, it's not hot out right now. It's Texas though. It might be pretty hot down there. It's just all steamy and gross in there and you're waiting for deer to show up.

Yeah. You might wanna try a different route, dude. Oh, let's see here. Couple bought a, holy cow, $32,000,000 mansion in The UK, and they ended up getting all of their money back because they found out it had a severe moth infestation. Earlier, we talked about moths, how, you know, they're generally harmless, but they can be poisonous.

Even if they were not poisonous, wouldn't it be so gross if you had just tens of thousands of moths flying around your home? That sounds so bothersome. If I have one fly in my house that I can hear buzzing around, I am like Walter White in Breaking Bad in that fly episode. It's gotta go. It's gotta go.

Gotta get rid of the infestation. Ugh. Thousands of moths. Yeah. You ever been trying to sleep and had a a bug land on your face?

It's it's so gross. So bothersome. Alright. What else do we have here? This is bothersome.

Just rolling down the street in Florida. Clear water. Hey everybody, let's go to Wendy's and get ourselves, you know, a Baconator. Drive by and there's, you know, some people engaged in what they're calling unnatural behavior behind the bus stop just out in broad daylight. Engaged in a an unnatural and how do you say that word, Liz?

Why why can't I say that? I'm not even gonna try. I swear I get dumber the older I get. Just dumber and dumber. Well, anyway, I mean, I don't think it's really an unnatural act, but perhaps the location in which you engage in said activity makes it unnatural.

I I guess behind the bus stop in front of Wendy's is unnatural. Get a room. I guess they were just getting all ready for Valentine's Day. I I don't know. But they're in jail.

Looks like both of them have quite the lengthy rap sheets. That's yeah. Probably not what you would expect to be a, you know, your first charge. Okay? Just in general, doesn't seem to be how things go.

Might be a petty theft, shoplifting. And that's why you should always, you know, learn from your mistakes. Get out of your life of crime. Next thing you know, you end up like these folks. I certainly hope not.

You know, recently, you might recall, one weekend, my little kitten Lucy wandered off and was missing for a couple days, and I was, distraught, was not cute. I was, you know, always very hopeful, though, that she'd show back up. She's microchipped, and, so I was hoping somebody would bring her in, get her scanned. I ended up finding her, but, if you have a pet that's been microchipped, just wanna give you the heads up. There's a microchip company that, suddenly shut down.

The name of the company is Save This Life. So if you might just wanna look into this and see if your pet was microchipped with a save this life microchip. I don't think my cats are. I'd have to look at the, the packaging that came with the, the chips, the little tags and things. Had them out recently, so I know exactly where they're at.

But, there's a website, the AAHA universal microchip lookup tool. I'm sure if you Google, you know, save this life microchip, you could find this link. And, you could see if your microchip was from, that company. And if so, there are ways to get your microchip registered at a different company, which you'll want to do so. So if your pet does run off or something like that, if it gets scanned, they have a way to get in touch with you.

So just wanted to get that information out there as a pet owner. I know it would be, just devastating if for some reason you found out at the wrong time that this microchip company had shut down and you weren't able to, be contacted because your information hadn't been updated elsewhere. So, you know, do some googling. That company was again called Save This Life and, use the universal microchip lookup tool to see if you need to reregister your pet with a different company. K?

Just want people to know about these things. Hey. If a friend offers to do something nice for you, accept it and try to be accommodating to maybe their needs as well. I was looking through a post on the, am I the jerk, subreddit, and someone is asking if they were a jerk for not letting their friends use their backyard for their wedding because they do not want them to bring a plus one. Let's dive in.

Alright. Here is the situation. Last summer, I bought my grandparents' house. This house was the hangout spot for my friends and I throughout our childhood. This includes my friend, Dave.

The house has a sizable amount of land, which includes a lake and a gazebo. Where's my oh, good for you button when we need it? Anyway okay. I was supposed to buy the house with my now ex girlfriend. We'll call her Leslie, but going through the process of getting approved to buy, found out that she has, massive amounts of credit card and personal debt that she hid for me throughout our four years together.

I decided to break up as a result. Things happen, I guess. So that was about six months ago. I met Leslie because Dave's long term girlfriend, Kim, is Leslie's cousin. Dave and Kim are engaged and set to get married in April when I was buying the house.

They asked if they could have the ceremony at the gazebo, which I agreed to do. In December, I started dating again. Leslie has not taken this well at all. She thinks we're gonna get back together. Has tried multiple times to make that happen.

I've told her in no uncertain terms that isn't happening. Dave and Kim have asked me to not bring a plus one to the wedding for Leslie's sake. I've told them this request is ridiculous. This is at my house, and I'm not allowed to bring a date because of my ex? Then you need to find a new venue and now they're all mad.

Yeah. You can't really tell people who they can and can't have at their house and I don't know. I guess he could still let him do the wedding thing and just hang out inside. Just don't go to the wedding. Weddings aren't great anyway.

Gotta, like, dress up, you know, sit through, you know, some kind of, you know, boring ritual. Sorry. I've just been to a lot of really boring weddings. You know? It's kinda like funerals.

You could make them more fun. K? They don't have to be just a bore fest. K? So anyhow, I don't think this person's being a jerk.

Yeah. Somebody tried to tell me, hey. You can't have someone at your own house, while you're letting me use it. Like, well, then why don't you get? Why don't you go pay a few thousand dollars to rent a gazebo somewhere else?

Jeez. Anyway, just drama. Just Reddit drama, I guess. But, no. I'm gonna go with this person who's not a jerk.

Yo. It's Steve Victor Wiltshire. I don't know why, but I can't get myself out of this stupid subreddit, am I the jerk? I guess it's a I t a h. That works.

Well, anyhow, let's check out another one here about a woman wanting a divorce from her husband who sounds like just a lazy turd to me. Refused to help around the house their whole marriage. Once said he'd eat off paper plates or fast food so she wouldn't have to worry about his dishes. He reluctantly reluctantly helped for a week after realizing she was serious about leaving if things didn't change, but not without throwing it in her face each time. Oh, I hope this is enough.

I hope breaking my back is enough, dude. Shut up and do some chores. Alright. Do your part. Okay.

Maintaining a home. It requires a lot of effort. Alright. I mean even living alone trying to keep my house clean with no one to blame but me for messes that pop up there yeah it's it's frustrating and takes a lot of work so you gotta work as a team here buddy So anyhow, she decided for a variety of reasons here. I'm not gonna read through the whole thing, but, you know, they've they've tried therapy.

You know, there was some, major problems in their relationship. She's tried it all, and she's like, well, I'm done. And then he's like, no. No. Got a little bit of shaming going on and things like that.

I have seen people shame people for divorce before, and that is absolutely ridiculous. You know, you may not know the in and outs, of what's going on in somebody's relationship. You don't know how bad it could be, and you don't know ultimately, how good it could be for both parties involved to just call it quits. It's okay. I know when you get up and read the traditional vows at a wedding till death does us part.

Well, people change over time. And if you are just mentally destroying one another, don't let anybody tell you you can't get a divorce. K? Just it could be so much better for each side, could be better for your children if you if you got them. There's nothing wrong with it in my personal opinion.

Everyone I know who has gotten divorced, even though the process is a nightmare, it sucks so bad. After things are all said and done, they come out the other end much happier. K? Relationships can do some bad things to you, especially toxic ones. So it's okay.

You know, I know it might be scary and you might have people go, no, just keep trying. Just keep trying. No. Do what's best for you. K?

Sometimes you gotta put yourself first and your own best interest. K? So, yeah, I don't even need to read through the rest of this. Just like, you know, if you deep down feel I need to get a divorce, then do it. Then do it.

Alright? The end. What is up, Paige? Oh, nothing. Alright.

I've just been, severe multitasking here. Dealing with, classy music. Gotta get it done. Gotta get it done. I'm sure you will.

Lots of, new tracks going in and, yeah, it it taking much longer than I would like it to. You know, you can only sit there and listen to so much Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande and whatever else before you just start going crazy. But you gotta think you're making those listeners very happy. I that's the goal, you know, to make the classy listeners as happy as possible. I our listeners have no idea the punishment I put myself through for the benefit of the entire community's music listening enjoyment.

Well, not only that, they don't they also don't realize how much it takes or how hard people work to get the signal going. Yeah. All they do is just complain about it online. I don't like that song. Feel free to call and complain live.

(208) 535-1015. Always down for your complaints, and we prefer them, you know, live on the show so we can discuss them. It's been a while since I had any complaints. And you don't have to be afraid. Have have you ever heard me yell at a listener Peach's life?

Actually reasoned with them. You you you yell at me, of course, because I'm right here, and it's more so a joke. Yeah. Or if I do yell at a listener, it's clearly a joke when it happens. It's very over the top.

Definitely. Not like, you know, cutting them down, insulting them, and then hanging up on them. Right. Yeah. That's what I do.

Even though it's what they deserve. I'm kidding. But, yeah. Yeah. If you if you have any, complaints, suggestions, requests, we're here doing it live like always.

(208) 535-1015. You know, speaking of live calls, Peaches has a feature every weekday afternoon to peach their own. Happens during the, 04:00 hour, and he asks a a question each day and gets you involved with his show. So if you've ever wanted to be on the radio, you can be on the radio by calling Peaches. That and you also get on the podcast too.

You can replay your call. You can listen back to yourself. You're like, look at how cool I am. I was on the radio. I'm on the Internet.

Do you have a question in mind for today? I haven't looked yet. I've been catching up on podcasts. Alright. Yeah.

I'm way behind on podcasts. Thanks to Classy. So sorry to my podcast listeners. You'll get pummeled with, like, four of them soon. So as soon as I get around to it.

I got, like, five or six that I'm gonna upload. Yeah. It's, it's just been busy around here, man. Just been busy. So Most definitely.

Anyhow, you can call us anytime, people. Just wanna remind you. (208) 535-1015. We're always here doing our thing, and we love to hear from you. So we'll be back in a minute.

I always find it interesting when I read a post or hear somebody say that they are just disgusted by tattoos. Like, in this day and age, pretty much well, maybe not everybody, but so many people have tattoos. You could roll into a doctor's office and the doctor just got a sleeve. There was a question asked online, what is the appeal of tattoos? And this person said, I don't mean this I don't mean this in any way as hate.

Have tattoos, don't have them, I don't care, but I never really saw the appeal. I mean, it's a permanent mark on the body, and I don't really see how one could like something so much as to have it on them. I get, like, some loved ones names or something, but even them, I feel like they make the body look messy and gross. Obviously, not everyone has a full sleeve or something but truly what's the appeal? Look at how cool it looks.

I mean, isn't that about it? Looks awesome look at this tattoo it's sweet I don't know how you even answer that question like I think you either have the desire for him or don't but it's not a specific reason. I mean, some people are different when it comes to the tattoos they'll get. Like, some people, it's gotta have some kind of an important meaning and things like that. Me, it's just like, nah.

Does it look cool? Does it look, you know, kind of metal? Yeah. Though I think the next tattoo I get, whenever that'll be, I might get something, a little more colorful or something like that. I got a lot of skulls on me and stuff.

Skulls are cool. Right? I think they look cool. Some of the people responding said it did things like boost their self confidence or cover up scars and things like that. One person said I already disappointed my parents so might as well get the tattoos anyway.

Don't let your parents influence what you do with your own body. Alright. Your mom will get over it. Alright. Get yourself a tattoo if you want it.

It's your body. It's the same reason, like, people pierce their ears or wear certain clothes or I don't know. I mean, yeah. It's permanent, but even though I might get different tattoos now than the ones I got when I was 18, I I still like the ones I got when I was 18 just fine, and they have zero meaning whatsoever. No meaning.

They're just covering skin. And I I I don't know. I just think that, the plain old skin I got kind of boring need to liven things up a bit. So yeah. But people saying they look gross.

It's like what? Gross? I don't know. I mean, there could be gross tattoos but that would be the design itself and those I might find cool too for sure. Yeah, just just want to remind you that it's your body, and if you wanna get a tattoo, go for it.

Don't let anybody talk you out of it. That kind of stuff should be totally up to you. While you're perusing the web, why not go check out East Idaho Eats? Find out about some new restaurants in the area. I think last week, I might have even mentioned this article they had about the bar slash restaurant eighteen.

We went there for Jade's birthday, as a matter of fact, and ended up kind of celebrating my homie Joey the Hulk Lobato's birthday because he had his birthday a week or two ago. So I got him a it was like a chicken bacon ranch flatbread, and, holy crap. It was so good. It was so good. Eighteen's a really cool place in Downtown Idaho Falls.

Real classy. Kinda got that speakeasy vibe going on or something, but really good food. East Idaho News was talking about, you know, the flatbreads, Korean barbecue skewers. I'd already eaten when I went there, so I just had a little piece of Joey's flatbread, but I saw they had, like, little burger sliders and things like that. Some stuff I didn't remember seeing on the menu.

Last time we looked at it when we were there for our, company party, I gotta get back there and mow down some some delicious food. It was so good. Yeah. If you wanna check out the video of East Idaho News sampling a bunch of stuff and, you know, get a taste of what the restaurant's all about, just get over to eastidahoneews.com. Under features, click on East Idaho Eats and you can check that out.

Highly recommended. I seriously could not believe how good that flatbread was. I should probably stop thinking about it. You know, I gotta keep myself in the mental state of mowing down toast and oatmeal. Trying to behave myself, but, I mean, pizza?

That's essentially what a flatbread is. It's pizza. Okay. I'm gonna turn my brain off now. So I decided to click on a button on Reddit I've never clicked on before, and that's the explore button.

It offers up, you know, some recommended things for you to check out. And I'm looking at it going, okay. Why? Why of the six recommended communities for me to check out is one of them Indiana alright I have never been to Indiana as far as I could think. Do I know anybody in Indiana?

Maybe some radio people. I mean, I've got no family or friends. I don't talk about Indiana. Why on earth do I need to join the Indiana subreddit? What's going on in Indiana?

Peaches, have you ever been to Indiana? No. My friend Hunter lives there in Terre Haute, Indiana. Oh, okay. So you have more of a reason for Reddit to say you should be checking out the Indiana subreddit than me.

It's being recommended to me, and I have no clue why. I don't recall any news from Indiana recently. You know, it looks like all, a bunch of political stuff. Pretty much looks like the Idaho subreddit. People fighting about politics.

Yeah. I got yelled at by a radio host yesterday on Reddit. Pretty funny. Did you? Yeah.

Well, let's hear about it. So The Woody Show launched a merch store. Okay. And some guy was asking why is shipping costing $10. And I said, well, Menace said on the on his on the Instagram that they're not in charge of the shipping costs, which is what exactly Menace said.

Yeah. Menace replied back to me saying, no, I didn't. We'll talk more about it on the show, this whole thing. Woah. Yeah.

I never said that. I'm like, so I I was I am I able to screenshot the comment that he made and be like, hey, this is what you said here. And I interpreted it interpreted that as such. I would think so. Yeah.

Might as well fight with other radio personalities. Why not? But I'm trying to get Menace as a guest on the, Talking Between the Sondes podcast. And so I texted Randy who knows Menace pretty well. I'm like, well, Menace can reply back to my Reddit comments, but not my email.

I see how it is. Maybe, yeah, he just, doesn't wanna do your podcast, Peaches. Maybe. Maybe he's a big jerk. That or he probably gets, like, hundreds of thousands of emails a day because he also has multiple cell phones, and he's gonna talk with tons of, companies about sponsorships for the show and stuff.

Yeah. I think if you tag me in a, comment on social media, you're probably more likely to get a response than maybe an email because I get about 10,000,000,000 emails a day too. Maybe I should make a post in the Woody Show subreddit. Menace, answer my email. You could do that.

But, yeah, if he said, you know, we're we're not in charge of the shipping cost, then, yeah, repost that. Be like, here's what you said, fool. What? I I did you see did you see what I, sent you about their one of their, options as an accessory? I don't think so.

I texted it to you. An actual text message? Yeah. On Friday of last week. Yeah.

Oh, jeez. Friday of last week. I think it was Friday. Let's see here. Let's bring up my peaches text here.

Oh, are those, oh, yeah. Okay. Saturday this past weekend. That's what it was. Yeah.

Is that a real item? Yeah. They're only selling 69 of them. I don't think our bosses would let us sell that even though it would be funny. I was thinking guitar picks for for Kay Barrett.

Yeah. Guitar picks are an easy and, somewhat affordable merch option. Lou inspired that idea. Mhmm. One size fits all.

You could do one for Victor, one for me, one for, the new now. I don't know. Do, like, different variations. They'd be easy to hand out at shows. Yeah.

Exactly. Check them out. Mhmm. Do some funny ones like instant copy shooter. I don't know.

It's gonna be a lot cheaper than, T shirts Yeah. And things like that. So, yeah, it's a good idea. I mean, getting around to building us a merch store is still on my to do list. It's been been there for a long time.

Because I know our listeners would appreciate that and buy some of the weird designs we'd come up with. Just gotta sit down and do it and get management to approve it and all that stuff. But, yeah, I I would love to sell that particular item too. But but Especially with their faces on it from the new Nour logo. Uh-huh.

No. Just Yeah. The face that was on the Christmas sweaters. Oh, yeah. And people wanted to buy those too.

I think Dominic from Pocatello was like, hey. You should sell those to the listeners. I know. I know. We'll we'll get around to it.

You know? You'd think when it comes to, hey. We could make money. Management jump all over it. I think what I'm gonna do is just launch my own Victor Wilt merch.

Just do my own store. Yeah. You've been around long enough. I feel like you could get away with it. I might be able to sell two t shirts, dude.

I might be able to sell three. That's pretty good. It's better than nothing. Yeah. May maybe I'll get on that.

I I have a lot of, computer tasks at home that need to be accomplished, and, I've been accomplishing none of them. Computer tasks at home. Really? Wow. Computer tasks at home.

I need to reupload all my band stuff to a new, distributor, an online music distributor because the one I'd been dealing with, they didn't have some options that I wanted. And the only way to change distributors is rip all your stuff up all the stores. So now our stuff's not on Spotify, and it was, like, verified check mark and everything. And so the frustration of that has led to me not getting back to doing that. But there's that.

There's the merch store. There's so much I need to do on the computer at home, but I just can't go sit in front of it and get the job done. Yeah. You could. I well, I could.

I have the ability. You'd be like, hold off, Judith. I'm not watching a TV show tonight. I need to I need to do some stuff. Yeah.

But it I gotta have the motivation to go, hey. I really need to get this stuff done on the computer. I don't have that desire. I'm like, oh, watching TV or playing video games? That sounds great.

Do what mister beast does and watch, like, a Kobe compilation. There you go. See, I I don't think mister beast, has any hobbies. I think he just works. No.

He lives in that warehouse Yeah. Legitimately. He has that little apartment. Yeah. He he's still younger too.

You know? I'm I'm into my old man relax in the recliner phase of life. You know? 42 is pretty old. You know?

I'm old. I'm I'm about done for. Yeah. I'm about done for, everybody. Alright.

Peaches and I will be back for noon. See y'all later. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt show. This program is a production of Riverbend Media Group. To contact the show or for more information, hit us upriverbendmediagroup dot com.
