The Viktor Wilt Show

Sucks when you can't find your charger. Right? You know, every every once in a while, I'll put it somewhere dumb. It'll end up being Sunday night. I'm like, oh, jeez.

I have to work in the morning. What if I don't wake up on time? That's why I had to, change my alarm set up on my phone. Got three alarms that get progressively more annoying. The third one does the job to get you out of bed.

It worked today. I'm here. But what if you have an electric vehicle? You know? I've heard that depending on the area you live in, it can be difficult to find a charging station.

Alright. But I've never dealt with electric vehicles because I ain't got the dough to buy myself a car. Not at this point in time. Maybe maybe down the road. It's got a lot of catching up to do.

You know? That's life. Bills. Endless bills. Well, this guy in Florida, I guess he was having trouble finding a charger.

It was the middle of the night, so he smashed his electric car through a, restaurant's front front door so he could charge up his car at the bar. I don't know if it works that way, dude. Don't you need special adapters and things like that? Again, I don't know much about electric vehicles, so I have no idea. But, they've got the video footage here of him trying to move tables aside and things like that so he can get to, I guess, an outlet at the bar.

I'm assuming it's not normal to charge your car at the bar at this restaurant. And I'm assuming he was hammered, but they you know, perhaps because they didn't get him right at the time, they couldn't prove that. So, yeah, he's charged with, burglary and attempted theft. What did what did he try to steal? Electricity?

Doesn't seem to say anything about any missing bottles or things like that. So I guess, you know, stealing electricity is theft. Keep that in mind. Running extension cords to your neighbor's house to try to run your AC. Nah.

Not a good idea. Gonna go to jail. Gonna be talking to lieutenant Crane. Alright. What an idiot.

Jeez. I was just reading this post on Reddit from some real well, about some real dirtbag parents. No. Nothing like too crazy. I try to not get into super dark stuff on this show because it's not really fun, especially on a Monday morning.

I mean, occasionally, I do. Like, last week, what to do in the case of a nuclear explosion. But, hey, you gotta know that if you can see the explosion, you know, you've got a few seconds to stop, drop to the ground, close your eyes, and open your mouth before the blast wave hits so your organs don't explode, and then seek shelter underground for many days. You know, it's just important messaging to get out there. Hopefully, you never have to use it because that would be bad times.

Okay. Sorry. Let's get back to, this post. So the author wrote, my parents find my girlfriend unattractive, and now it's starting to affect the way I look at her too. I never once found her unattractive, but now after hearing it constantly for the last couple weeks, it's starting to seep into my psyche.

And now I'm seeing all the imperfections she has. I hate this feeling, and I hate what they've done to me. On the surface. It's so easy to see that it's their opinion and that I could always just not think like that, but man, it seeps in. What, what, what kind of parents are like, girlfriends, ugly.

That that's just messed up. Like, what what a bunch of weirdos, you know? Now I could understand critiquing your, boyfriend or girlfriend if they're like a piece of crap. Be like, you know, listen. I can tell that this is a bad person for you.

Okay? But, you know, looks that are subjective. You know, Somebody you find to be, you know, super attractive, maybe somebody else that doesn't. Yeah. I mean, as a person who is not attractive, I know that there are plenty of people who, you know, wouldn't take a second look.

But that, you know, throughout life, I've found people that liked me. So who gives a crap what somebody else thinks? You know, as long as you got somebody around who's treating you good. I I just can't imagine. Like, my daughters, they've had they've had a couple of significant others that I didn't like, but it was a personality thing.

Like, I don't care what they look like, you know, as long as they're nice to them and treat them well. They look like whatever. Long Long as they're a good dude. But I I don't know. It was just kind of a baffling one to me here.

Who says that? Yeah. I I would hope that this person is getting a lot of ice advice in this thread to, I don't know. This seems like a time you might wanna tell your parents to shut up. You know?

They don't say how old they are. So either way, the parents are in the wrong on this one. And there may be times you need to tell your parents, hey, back off. Shut up. But I just can't imagine how I would respond.

I mean, my mom and dad were pretty cool. So I highly doubt they would have, yeah, said something like that. But if they did, it would just be so baffling. Like, you know, I'm I'm sure some of my girlfriends back in the day, their parents had things to say about me, though. Yeah.

Skinny little metal head with crooked teeth. You know? I'm sure I was weird looking, so whatever. Holy cow. Almost seven already?

I'd better get working because it's a busy day. Alright. Let's take a look at, items under $300 that noticeably improved quality of life and people use every day. Alright. See if I have any of these or if I need any of these.

A wagon for groceries. Alright. Depending on where you live, that would be handy. Alright. This is a 75 year old retired woman who posted about this.

Yeah. I mean, it wouldn't really work in my situation. Alright? So I could see that being handy, but not gonna change my life. An electric tooth brush.

Okay. I have one of those. I haven't bought replacement, toothbrush heads for it so it's collecting dust. I did like it. It was fine, but it's one of those items I never think to order Tell every once in a while I'm digging through the drawers in my bathroom, and I'm like, oh, yeah.

Look. Rechargeable electric toothbrush. That was cool. And then I, you know, just don't end up ordering anything and, go about my day. Maybe I'll remember today.

Maybe. But, yeah, then you gotta remember what brand. It should be in my, my previous orders. But okay. Curved shower rod.

I that might be good in my basement, but I don't know if that's gonna work out good in my my main bathroom I just need to rip out my entire shower and put in a new one as far as my main bathroom goes that's gonna cost a little more than $300 hence why that ain't happening You know, it's working fine for now. Noise canceling headphones. Alright. I wear headphones so much that, when I'm at home or outside of work, unless I'm mowing the lawn, I don't monkey with headphones. Alright?

I think I already have, like, the headphone head, you know, where it it's starting to warp the shape of your skull or some. I don't know if that's really true, but I remember seeing an article about it. It was probably, you know, some fake news, but it stuck with me. I think I just have a weird head. All right.

Vitamins. Okay. Yeah. I I do try to take those. Okay.

Robot vacuum. There was a listener who called me a few weeks ago and said they would sell me an electric, or, yeah, robot vacuum for a good price. Wonder if I still have their number written down because I'm not a big fan of vacuuming. It's not like it's hard. I just don't ever do it.

I mean it's not like I go, you know, ages without doing it but it would be pretty nice if the robot vacuum was just always keeping my, main floor clean. That'd be great. Should have taken him up on the deal. It was a good deal. Air purifier.

I run one of those at my house. Oh, dancy. Another thing. My stupid dehumidifier in the basement broke. I gotta buy one of those.

I why is there always stuff you gotta get? Need a need a part time job. Automatic cat feeder. That could be nice, but, my cats are pretty good. They seem to, you know, just eat what they need, so I don't need to worry about that right now.

Throw out all of your socks and buy a bunch of identical ones, and you never have to worry about it matching again. Yeah. I could see that, but, you know, socks ain't that cheap. You know? Throw all your socks away.

Have to wait on that one here. A really good pillow. I I have tried 10,000,000,000 pillows. I have all kinds of different pillows in my house. And the ones that I've got in my room are satisfactory, but I have yet to ever find, like, the perfect pillow.

You know, you read all the reviews, like, okay. These are gonna be perfect. No. No. They're they're alright.

You probably have to spend stupid amounts of money to get, like, a super great pillow. Alright. Blackout curtains always come up on these kind of lists. Highly recommended if you work a, like, dumb schedule like I work where you have to go to bed when it's light out and wake up when it's dark out. They're they're handy.

You know, it it helps because it I can't go to sleep if I'm in a bright room. It just doesn't work out. Fitbit. Oh, yeah. So I can, find out how bad I'm doing.

I should probably activate the steps thing on my phone. You know, at least try to set some goals there. You know, been been doing alright. Been doing alright. I did accomplish some things around the house this weekend, so that's good.

I finally got the entire lawn mowed. See how long until I, get back around to that with that 90 degree weather coming our way. It was nice and cool this weekend, so it worked out great. Alright. A Kindle.

I I do have a Kindle, and I like it. You know, if you read, like, gigantic books, sometimes you've got this giant brick in your hands. And a Kindle can be nice in those situations. Also, if you're going on vacation, you know, it's nice and small and thin and you can just chuck it in a bag. It's, you know, not quite like loading up multiple books, when you're you're heading out.

Bidet is the answer in summer especially. Alright. I won't get into descriptions of why it would be better in summer, I guess. But crazy enough even during the pandemic, you know, there was a lot of bidet talk. People were like, you know, I can't find any t p.

Never tried one. Alright. But everybody always says they're life changing. Like, it's a super popular answer online when people are trying to figure out, something that's life changing and you need to get. So I don't know.

Might be worth the go. Laundry baskets in your car for carrying shopping and groceries what doesn't everybody just grab like all the bags at once and try to you know drag them into the house all right so far I'm not finding anything I've just gotta get Coffee mug warmer? I mean, if you put hot coffee in a mug, doesn't it just warm it up? I drink, like, you know, crappy instant cold coffee anyway. So, yeah.

That's not gonna happen here. Alright. Yeah. Looking through this list. Maybe maybe you heard about something that you've just gotta have, but didn't really hit me.

Oh, no. Not the bees. Not the bees. I love my eyes. Eyes.

Alright. Let's talk about bees. This story made me laugh. So you got this 70 year old Spanish beekeeper, got stopped by the police, and, you know, it looked like the guy was driving around Hammer over there in Spain. So they also noticed he wasn't wearing a seat belt, so they pulled him over.

And the guy's immediately just being, you know, a little bit combative with the cops. You shouldn't have the first thing come out of your mouth when interacting with the police be, I should have run you over. It's not a good way to start your interaction with the cops. So they gave him a breathalyzer test. Yeah.

He, he was hammered. So then they wanted to do a second test to confirm the reading, and he got really upset and says, now I'm gonna kill you. And then he opens the back of his van and unleashes a swarm of bees that immediately started attacking the police. Holy cow. So they had to, like, run inside of a nearby restaurant, got stung a bunch of times, and then the beekeeper, he just gets in his car and drives away.

Alright. I don't know if you're a beekeeper. Perhaps you're just used to getting stung by bees repeatedly. But, anyway, what kind of charge is that? I would assume it's assault.

You know, I mean, you you set bees on the cops. Why is there not dash cam footage of this? It did did the Spanish cops not record every interaction? I wanna see this. I'm not saying this is a good thing to do, and it's not gonna help you get out of that DUI charge, but, you know, it's different.

How often have we had a story pop up about a beekeeper setting a bunch of bees on the police? I think it's a first. Anyway, I got more stupid news coming up with freak news here in just a few, so hang on. Let's dive in. Lots of stupid news making the rounds today, which is great for this program.

How about the, weekend weather? How much fun did you have camping? Josh Tyler just stopped by the studio a second ago, but I was about to jump on and yap for a second, so we walked away. I really wanted to hear about his weekend hiking trip. He was gonna do, like, 26 miles, with a a big crew of people including a bunch of children.

I can't imagine. It had to be miserable because I saw people posting photos out camping in the snow. Saw an article here. Up to 24 inches of snow in certain areas of Montana over the weekend. Yeah.

I mean, it was nice here. It was basically too cold. I mean, I turned the heat on in my house yesterday, and I've been blasting AC like twenty four seven for the last week. So, yeah. I hope if you made your way out camping that it didn't suck too bad.

I mean, some people camp in tents. Oh. Yeah. I've been in a tent when it's, like, in the thirties, and it sucks. It's so miserable.

So I was nice and cozy and warm. It was great. Alright. Don't go subway surfing. This is exactly what it sounds like.

Yeah, standing on top of a moving subway train. Guess what happens? People die. Let's see. Last year, six people died subway surfing in New York City.

I mean, when you're young, you make some dumb decisions, but jumping on top of a moving subway train, that's just the kind of thing that would not enter my mind. New York's apparently warning against the stunts, but to little avail Talk to your kids. K? Talk to them about stupid decisions. I know they don't like to listen to parents sometimes, but you're having some impact by at least talking to them about these things.

It's like the stories with bison attacking people in Yellowstone. You know, my kids saw that video at the Old Faithful Visitor Center right when we got there for the first time that shows a bison chucking a child through the air. You think they ever went near any bison? I mean, I'm not saying we need to show our kids a bunch of grizzly videos, but oh, speaking of grizzly, I saw another story here about a a bear. I don't know if it was a grizzly bear, but it would be bad enough to have to deal with a bear encounter in the woods.

And I know that the word grizzly is a different type of grizzly. Alright? I don't need to get corrected on my language. I just thought it was a fun transition. K?

Anyway, back to this story about a about a bear. This was in Greece. This guy is out hiking. He's a veteran hiker out with a buddy. All of a sudden, bear comes out of nowhere and attacks these guys.

So, you know, they've got the bear spray. Try to use the bear spray to fight the bear off. This bear chucked this guy off of a cliff. He dead. Yeah.

If you encounter a bear, I I hope you've got all of the items necessary to try to protect yourself. But if you encounter a bear on a cliff, get away from that cliff. Anyway, the guy said I'd never seen such speed and strength before. Watch some videos. Bears are fast and they are strong.

I watched a bear rip apart a deer in Yellowstone one time and it was terrifying. Big, huge grizzly bear. And it was way far away, but you could just tell the strength. It was terrifying. What a way to go, though.

I mean, get attacked by a bear and the bear throws you off a cliff. Your family's gonna have a story, you know, but anyway, be cautious hiking. There are wild animals out there. See if I got anything else here. I'll save that one for a little bit.

Oh, you know, okay. If you had to camp in the snow over the weekend, it could be worse. K? I'm sure it was not very fun. You know, you're out sitting by the fire and you're just freezing.

At least a tree didn't fall on your camper. When it comes to campers versus just about anything, everything else is gonna win. If you've ever seen the aftermath of a camper that's, like, tipped over on the freeway, they just basically explode. So if a tree falls on them, yeah, it it's gonna be bad and you could die. But this Billings couple is lucky to be alive after an extremely close call.

It fell on their camper. This giant tree, you know, completely destroyed their camper, but thankfully, they were not in the area where the tree was. It was like it split the camper right down the middle, and they just happened to be on the other sides. You know, if what would you rather have? Death by tree on camper or bear Chuckie off a cliff?

I mean, one is certainly more I I hate to say epic because, you know, we are talking about a person who passed away, but I mean, if that was in a horror movie, would you be one of the folks that, laughed and cheered? You know, it's final destination, part eight and a bear chucks a man off a cliff. I don't know. I can see the entertainment value in it even though it's wrong of me to say that. So just pretend I didn't.

Alright. As featured in the first Grand Theft Auto six trailer, Tom Petty loves his long road. Man, is there any subject with more click baity stupid articles floating around than Grand Theft Auto six? I get pummeled by these probably because my phone, you know, listening to me all the time, hears me talk about Grand Theft Auto six. So I get sent these articles.

You know, they'll pop up on, like, my home screen. And it's like, oh, fans discover a a very, you know, deep secret about GTA six. GTA six fans furious over online mode. It can't be like this. And you're like, okay.

I I don't recall seeing any information about what the online mode will be. Let me click this and go read and see what, you know, people are upset about. And it's just people who play GTA five complaining about GTA five online and how they hope that certain things aren't the same in GTA six. That's not worth an article. That's just what you do, you know, on on Reddit.

You just get in the GTA six subreddit and read people's speculation. All of these articles that are coming my way, like massive leak about the massive world that dwarfs every previous rock Star game. Again, what's the leak? I don't know. I read through the article.

I didn't see anything about a leak. K? It's just people speculating. And I think a pretty good prediction based on the history of games made by Rockstar, especially Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption, they do tend to make the worlds bigger. So why is that an article?

And these are at, like, all kinds of different websites. You know why they do it? They know that idiots like me are gonna click in thinking, oh, am I actually going to find some new information? And then you don't. Like, here's another one.

GTA six fans potentially uncover a big change to gameplay mechanic. And it all comes down to, oh, they noticed a sticker for an airbag inside one of the vehicles. Does this mean we're going to have more realistic car crashes? Good speculation because, yes, they tend to have more realistic things with each new game. This is so stupid.

I shouldn't click on any of these unless they link right to the Rockstar Games website because I never get anything out of them at all. GTA six price tag leaving fans torn. There is no information out there saying what this game is going to cost. None. But I've seen dozens of articles about this.

And, again, it's just people speculating. I don't know. If you wanna get into the business of, you know, making a little bit of money with an online blog, just start posting, you know, random predictions about GTA six and put the word leak in the headline and you're you know, get them pop up ads rolling in so you can make as much money as possible. Seems like a good business plan for the next year or so. Alright.

So you might have been hoping I had some GTA six news. No. But I tell you, game rant says GTA six fans still discovering incredible details. And it's yeah. Just stuff you can go see for yourself like, oh, look.

There there's fingerprints on the touchscreen of the radio looking super realistic. Oh, okay. That's cool. But I don't know if it's worth an article. Just hang out on Reddit, and you can get all of this information.

Alright. The news is making me feel like an idiot this morning. I should have thought about this yesterday, and I'm not gonna get into, like, much of this. Alright? I get enough people whining about my Facebook posts from time to time.

Sending me a message. You be be be be be, dude. You're gonna ruin your reputation with who? People who I don't care what they think. So anyway, over the weekend, as I'm sure you read in the news, we, bombed Iran.

That's all I'm gonna say about that because I don't want to have, again, somebody crying about my thoughts on things, You know, for for people who seem to complain a lot about, you know, oh, you know. Alright. Anyway, I'm not not gonna get into it, but some people who claim to, you know, be real tough sure cry a lot. Why did it not occur to me that gas prices were going to skyrocket? You know?

Did you fill up your car yesterday, Peaches? I did. I don't know why I didn't think to. I'm a total moron because anytime there's conflict in The Middle East, gas prices go through the roof. So, yeah.

I'm very frustrated. I called and I was like, hey. Is is there something going on over there? Fill it up. It should have been common sense.

I mean, we've been through this enough times. I've been on this planet a long time. I remember every other time these kind of things have happened, and I need gas in my truck, and that tank is huge. I just timed it perfectly. I just was going to Rigby yesterday.

I'm like, you know what? I'll fill it up. Sure. So now I'm sitting here going, okay. Do we, like, wait a couple days and then maybe things will settle down and they'll lower back down?

You just never know with gas prices. All I know is that they always suck. They have since I was a kid. I remember when I first started driving getting gas for under a dollar. That's how old I am, peaches.

Under a dollar a gallon. Wow. Hello. I'm very old. Back in my day, we didn't have these kind of it could be worse.

You know, it could be living like, where your family does, you know, or Washington where my daughter lives. Crazy prices there. It's always at least a dollar more than here. Didn't you tell me somebody, one of your friends or something, paid, like, $8 a gallon recently? Maybe that wasn't you.

Somebody told me they were somewhere in California and had to pay, like, $8 a gallon. I think I showed you the, gas prices in, like, in Burbank. Yeah. And I think that's how high they were. That might have been what it was.

Yeah. Yeah. It's it's just nuts, man. So I don't know if you should fill your car up today or wait for another day, but, oh, it's so annoying. I can't believe I didn't think about that yesterday because that that should have been common sense.

Oh, jeez. The gas prices are gonna jump really fast, and I guess that's what's going on today. That's what happens when you read the news, Peach, is you find annoying things. That's why I don't read the news. You should read the news and stay educated, people.

Don't think you That's a part of the problem with society is people don't read the news. They read a couple headlines on Facebook and But I don't Yeah. I don't participate in political commentary. I just wanna avoid it all, please. I'm not participating in political commentary.

I'm talking about gas prices. There's some Facebook, arguments have seemed pop up. So Yeah. I know. I was mentioning earlier that there's a bunch of crybabies every time I post something that's my opinion.

You know? I don't jump on those people's posts and call them, you know, I I I don't cry on anybody's posts. I might, you know, try to fact check them. You know, I'm like, hey. That's completely false and made up.

You know, this is an AI video or blah blah blah. This is not true. But I certainly wouldn't, you know, cry about it. I want you to end every comment with get shut down with facts and logic and just leave it as that. But you try facts and logic, and they tell you you're making them up.

And it's like, no. Here here's, like, a million sources. But is there a point to arguing with these people? Yes. You always gotta have hope that you can enlighten people, peaches.

Someone could tell me the sky is green, but okay. Good for you, dummy. Don't be hidden. If throughout history, people didn't try to educate the public, who knows what kind of a disastrous world we live in. But how far gone are some people are too far gone.

I yeah. But you always have hope. You always have hope that if you show people enough information, you can enlighten them and get their eyes to open. Like that one person that was like, Peaches is a leftist because he uses Reddit. I'm like, okay, buddy.

Sure. Believe that. Whatever you wanna say. Yeah. I that was a new one to me because, on Reddit, there are tons of different, conservative subreddits.

I mean, no. The the two and two don't go together. No. It doesn't make any sense at all. I like pasta.

Therefore, I'm Italian. Yeah. I I don't know. People have gotten really crazy, but, yeah. I just got annoyed by the gas price thing because I didn't think about that.

And that should have been the first thing that came to mind. Go fill up your truck immediately. So, hopefully, they don't get too high. I mean, and I don't really got anywhere I need to go. To and from work?

That's great. To, you know, next week. Gotta go to Twin Falls and all of that fun stuff. A lot of driving next week. Oh, yeah.

You got your homies coming down. Mhmm. Gonna take a trip out of town. Yeah. Nope.

I'm just gearing up for the fourth of July, you know. Get ready to, crush down that day. I saw the fireworks stands popping up. I'm like, oh, boy. Here we go.

Late at night, I'm gonna hear the big booms. Mhmm. Yep. Again, everybody, try to be respectful with your fireworks. Don't set them off too late.

Are are people gonna listen, though? What I should do, get on social media and start crying about it. I have to go to bed at 8PM. There might be guns. Everybody like guns.

I mean, I can understand people who, you know, fireworks are going to have a potentially negative effect, our veterans and things like that. People Dogs? Dogs, pets, things like that. I I get it. But yeah.

I mean, just because I have to go to bed at eight when it's still light out doesn't mean I'm gonna cry about it online. I can't imagine being a veteran having to go to war and then, you know, before like fireworks, you know, set off that PTSD. Very scary. It's it is very scary. So, you know, if you have neighbors that are, you know, combat veterans, try to be respectful.

You know, maybe let them know, hey. We're planning to light off some fireworks, things like that because, yeah, PTSD, no joke. No joke. Right. Alright.

Let's keep partying. Okay. I know I do these stories too often. And if you wanna swim in natural waters, to each their own. But these stories are what keep me out, keep me out of them lakes and rivers and things like that.

Police had to shoot a giant catfish, which injured five in a lake in Germany. So they've got this popular beach where people go swimming. Alright. And inevitably, from time to time, creatures that live in these places show up. Alright?

We're invading their environment. And, I say if a giant catfish just starts attacking people, that's part of the risk you take by going into the water. Right? Shouldn't have shot the fish. It was just being a fish doing fish stings which could include attacking people.

The article made me laugh because, you know, it just describes how the fish had been lingering around and attacking people in the water. Now, multiple people, a lot of people got attacked by this fish. K? Imagine you're out swimming in a lake and a giant catfish starts attacking people. What would you do?

I know that I would leave the water, big guy. Alright. Swimming time's over. But, you know, people, it's not gonna happen to me. Fish ain't gonna get me, man.

It don't get hard to attack those people. So, yeah, rip to the giant catfish. And it's, you know, not the first time this has happened because, again, fish live in water. So they had another one, that they named Kuno the Killer after it, sorry. This might be unpleasant, but it ate somebody's dog in, this same lake.

Now, this was twenty years ago that that happened. But even if you heard that twenty years ago, catfish ate a dog in this lake, Would you jump in? Alright. Fine. I don't just me?

Nah. I I need to be able to see what's in the water. K? Small fish would be annoying, but giant catfish, you ever watch those videos of people, like, who will, like, shove their arm down a catfish's throat and catch it by it latching on and, you know, it's essentially trying to eat them? It's crazy.

You know? There there's tons of videos on YouTube about that. River monsters. If there are creatures in said water that people describe as Kuno the killer or monsters, I don't know. I'm I'm staying on the beach.

You know? Go ahead. Call me a wuss. I don't care. Not gonna get attacked by a catfish or get my leg ripped off by a shark.

You know? Prosthetic leg that I would imagine could be expensive. Alright. I'm doing my best to, stay positive, share fun, uplifting stories. So just wanted to let you know, you might die on your birthday.

Yes. Statistically people like seven percent more likely to die on their birthday than any other day of the year. I guess you should behave yourself on your birthday. One of the main reasons, probably obvious, people throw down on their birthday. Overdo it with that booze consumption.

You know, increasing risky behavior and poor decision making, leading to accidents and things. Now the other thing they think is that, you know, say somebody, you know, is is very sick. You know, they're they're on their way out, but your birthday's like a milestone to aim for. So you might be like, I just gotta make it to that birthday, and then you get there, and you finally just give up. Isn't this fun?

Isn't this fun? I'm I'm not gonna get into, more of the things that are in here because they're a little unpleasant. But, yeah, your birthday, it can be fun, but it can also be a sad day depending on how your birthday is going. So, yeah, mental, health issues that arise around birthday time, which happens around the holidays as well. You know, make sure to check-in on your friends and family from time to time, see how they're mentally doing.

Anyway, the birthday effect is what they're calling it here. And, yeah, maybe, skip the shots. Alright. Skip the shots. Well, Katie Lee just walked in with a box of cookies.

My goodness. Yeah. Alright. I didn't think I was hungry till I saw that box. I gotta figure out how to get this sticker off the box because it's Benson Boone's, signature.

Benson Boone's signature cookies. Did you know that he was at BYUI the same time that I was? As a student? As a student. He was a he was a BYUI student.

What? Uh-huh. He only went for a semester, but it was the semester that I graduated. I had never heard that. That's pretty crazy.

I went and looked it up on the BYUI roster, and I'm just like, oh, little baby. Alright. Well, yeah. Why isn't he, coming over and kicking it at z 01:03 then? Somebody said they saw him at a a jazz game in Salt Lake.

Yeah. He's around here. I think he Interesting. Yeah. That's what I thought.

But, anyways Kicking it with Post Malone and making crumble cookies. Yeah. I gotta figure out how to do that. Sponsoring the soda shops next. Yeah.

I have heard that his cookies are, incredibly difficult to make though. There's, crumble things going on around TikTok. They're just like, whoever created this cookie hates the workers Oh. Because it's so we'll see if they look as good as they're supposed to. Yeah.

You described them to me last week. They, like It's I'm not gonna lie. It sounds really weird. Yeah. The description sounded kinda bizarre.

So you've got what what was the cookie itself? So, basically, it's a chocolate cookie base. K? And then you got, like, cookies and cream, like, the Oreo, like, just like crushed Oreos on top. Okay.

I'm I'm all down. And then the frosting is where it gets weird because it's like a lemon berry type of thing, vanilla I don't know. It's supposed to be, like, Moonbeam ice cream flavored cookie, and then on top, you got more cookies and cream stuff. Okay. And then you got, chocolate drizzle.

I don't know. Looks like a pretty big box, so I'm glad you stopped here first before somebody else got paid. Just showing you the box. I didn't say I was gonna share. I want a cookie.

I'm not giving you a cookie. But if you eat the cookies, do you start going like, we gotta get you the sparkly bodysuit. Okay. You don't wanna see me doing backflips in a sparkly bodysuit. I'll see the backflip.

We might just have to veto the bodysuit. Yeah. I don't think anybody wanna see me in a bodysuit. I I don't have quite the build for a bodysuit. We suit.

We could get you like one of those score oh, the flying squirrel suits. I feel like that's pretty equivalent. Now what what are you trying to say? I am squirrel shaped? You feel like you're a good size for it.

Well, let's see these cookies. Did you figure out how to open the box? I wanna see what they look like. Well, I was gonna I didn't even get to take a picture of it because you called me in so fast. Oh, well, I I just wanna see.

You can go get your photos and all that. I just wanna get a good look k. At the cookies. I'm gonna go take some social media pictures. Okay.

Just make sure you save one for me. Okay. Prioritize me over everyone else when it comes to cookies. Because that's how it is here. Thanks, Katie.

Alright. I guess you all know now that Benson Boone has, put out a signature cookie. So, you're welcome. But, yeah, if you get the urge to, put on a bodysuit and do a backflip, make sure to share that content on social media because everybody's gonna wanna see it. Just, you know, don't don't bust your head open.

K? What up, people? It's Victor Wilt. Alright. Am I recording the, podcast?

Yes. This show is available on demand, by the way. If you miss it and you just can't resist listening to my voice. There are, like, hundreds of episodes of the show. You can find it on Spotify, Apple Music, everywhere podcasts can be found.

Just search for the Victor Wilt Show with a k. Alright. See here. You know, there are certain discussions that you should never have say at Thanksgiving or while you're, you know, drinking. Politics and religion.

Right? You just avoid those because it's it's never going to go good, but it'll go especially bad at family gatherings or maybe the bar. Yeah. Could end up like like this situation in Michigan City, Indiana. I guess there was a little bit of a religious discussion going on, and this guy got very upset that people were, disagreeing with his beliefs.

So, you know, it started with a little bit of just, you know, verbal aggression. But then, you know, it escalated as things tend to. The guy starts pedaling away on his bicycle but then he decided no I haven't had enough so he cruises back over to the parking lot and starts asking everybody who wants some? Who wants some? Then the fist started flying.

Anyway, he's in jail because he also just decided he was gonna, fight the police. They had to, like, you know, just wrap him up in zip ties apparently, wrists and ankles. I I don't think that, Jesus would approve. You know, he seemed, from what I've read, to be a pretty chill guy. I would assume he would not advocate for fighting in his name in the bar parking lot.

Yeah. Just don't have these discussions when you're, when you're when you're drinking. You might start making bad decisions. Alright? And then you end up, you know, going to jail hurting somebody and they're calling the advocate's injury attorneys because you injured them.

Alright? Okay. Again, Jesus would not approve. Alright. In getting back to positive news because, you know, it's Monday.

Don't wanna bring anybody down or anything. Trying to share uplifting stories today. The Earth could just soon be chucked into the sun. Alright. Kind of fun.

Right? Probably not. Yeah. Apparently, there's some kind of a passing star, which could be on a collision course with our solar system and eventually Earth and difficult to know exactly what's going to happen. But they said that thousands of computer simulations indicate there's a chance of this passing field star, which is a star that appears in the same region of the sky as another object being studied, could cause a little bit of havoc and chuck the earth into the sun.

I mean, you'd probably go really fast because, you know, we're in that what do they call it? The Goldilocks zone. I think if we move much closer to the sun very quickly, you know, we're we're just gonna light up really fast. I'm just sharing positive news, Peaches. Oh, cool.

You know, about the Earth potentially being chucked into the sun. These cookies, by the way, quite delicious. I yes. I was, gonna wait and do my Benson Boone cookie review from, Crumble, but I give it two thumbs up. You know, the description sounded weird, but it's it's good.

It's good for sure. So that was a nice breakfast. You know? Nice and healthy. Oh, yeah.

For sure. Way to start the day. Uh-huh. Who needs apples? You know?

Or a nice fruit basket. No. Cookies. Now do you feel like doing a backflip, putting on a bodysuit, and just shrieking? No.

No. Not at all. Come on, Peaches. Let's hear your best Benson Boon. Hear my best Benson Boon?

Mhmm. Even he can't do his best. Oh. His music sucks. Oh.

They're trying to say he's just like Freddie Mercury. I'm like, come on. Nah. You can't say that. You cannot say that whatsoever.

No. No. Freddie Mercury is not an industry plant. You think Benson Boone was an industry plant? Oh, for sure.

I mean, most pop stars, like, if you look at the Backstreet Boys and Sync, you know, those were groups formed by a manager and producer. And I you know, there's a lot of teams behind some of these big, huge pop stars. But even this is something that a lot of people listening to rock and metal don't know. A lot of big rock bands also utilize those same kind of teams in writing their songs. You know?

I don't know about that Falling in Reverse song we just heard, but I've talked to, guys who were involved in the writing process on Falling in Reverse songs that are not in the band. Cody from Wage War. Yeah. A huge part of them. John from Point North.

Yep. He's also a huge, huge part of that whole writing process with Ronnie. Yep. So, you know, I I don't judge too much on the, on that kind of thing. Now, to me, a real musician, you know, you do do it yourself.

True. You know? Write your own music. Freddie Mercury wrote some of the biggest songs of all time. Yeah.

Yeah. And I'm sure if we pull up the album credits, you're not gonna see, you know, a huge list of people. You might have the one producer like The Beatles had George Martin, you know, heavily involved in writing music with him. But that was, like, it. George Martin, and then it would be, like, you know, Lennon and McCartney or or whatever.

And some bands will have, like, Rick Rubin. I I don't know if he usually gets a writing credit, though. I sometime maybe. Sometimes. System of a Down, probably.

Yeah. Because, you know, he, like, whips a book off the shelf, turn to a random page, and find some lyrics. Right. What what a job. I mean, most people say working with Rick Rubin, he doesn't really do much.

He just kinda creates a space that's you know good for the composing process and will offer his opinions you know but he himself would say like I'm not a musician blah blah blah. Yeah. It's it's gotten a little weird over the years with how, music is formed. That's why everybody in in an uproar about AI stuff, I'm like, well, you've already got, like, you know, we've talked about country artists who don't write their own music. There's tons of them that don't don't contribute at all.

Chris Stapleton has written so many songs for other people. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He's one of the biggest. Hardy has written a lot of songs for other people.

So it's just kind of the nature of the biz. But, yeah, why why would Benton's Benson Boone be a plant? I mean, Spiritbox gets accused of being in this industry plant. Five Finger Death Punch gets accused of being an industry plant. No.

Right now, it's president. You know, that new mask band? Nah. Like, how do they get a headlong and slow and download? And any any band wearing a mask now is just gonna get heavily criticized thanks to Sleep Token and those with dumb haters.

Yeah. I mean, the mask thing is getting a bit overdone. It it is. For sure. But, also, at the same time, they put out great music.

So Yeah. It's true. It's true. So who cares? With president, you know, it's kind of funny because everyone knows who's in the band.

Like, if you get on their subreddit, everybody just talks about the members. You know, it's it's not like Sleep Token where, you know, they're still in that ghost stage where the fans wanna pretend these are like, you know, some kind of otherworldly entities. Don't talk about who they are. It used to be so annoying in the ghost subreddit because everyone knew who was in the band. And there's this ongoing lawsuit, you know, between band members and people's you still weren't allowed to talk about it till Tobias Forge himself came out unmasked and started doing interviews.

You know? It's like it's not that big a deal to know who's in the band. You know? You can still have the mystique and just don't read those posts or something like that. Don't go look at the pictures of them.

You know? Don't Google them up. The whole time you're talking, that stupid Vincent Boone song is playing in my head. The no. No.

No. The Moonbeam ice cream dancing in the movies crap. That that that whole lyric makes no sense. Dancing in the movies. I bet he is the type of dude to just break out Sit down.

Yeah. Yeah. Try and watch movies. He's like that weird theater kid that's just moving around in the front row. You're like, sit, like, throwing popcorn at him.

Like, get back in your seat. Where's security? This guy's causing a ruckus and disrupting this movie. Kick him out. He's, like, enthusiastically watching that musical that you, like, you're forced to watch.

Like, you bring a date to that, like, to the movies. They're like, can we please see the musical? Okay. Fine. And then you have that weird Benson boot kit right there in the front.

So Wicked part two. Yeah. Sure. That's far easier. It's a dancing away doing that.

It felt felt like everybody was shutting down the old, singing during Wicked. You see about the Yeah. People were singing along to the songs during Wicked. Everyone's like, shut up. But then when the Minecraft movie comes out, everyone yells chicken jockey or, like, they do the whole Yeah.

And starts trashing the movie. Thrashing the movie with you. Everyone's fine with that. I mean, you know, I've been at plenty of shows where people are singing along to the crowd. I'd say if you're going to a musical that's that popular.

You're going in. You gotta expect that the crowd's gonna sing. Right. You know? People are like, hey.

They're into it. They're into it hardcore. So I don't think anybody was singing along at the ghost movie, were they? I don't remember. Maybe some.

Maybe a little bit. Yeah. I mean, I think had the theater turned the volume up, then we might have got more of a reaction out of the crowd. But even I think that theater, the Idaho Falls movie theater just doesn't turn the volume up very loud. I thought it was just the ghost movie, but I went and saw, Bring Her Back with my sister, and they could have turned it up more.

I bet there was some old lady that threw a ruckus. Because when I saw Dune two in Connecticut, it was crazy. Yeah. I've seen You know, they had it jacked up. The bass was crushing.

The surround sound was amazing. I've seen plenty of movies in Long Beach that were so much louder. Yeah. Like, when I saw Metallica Threw the Never out there, that was awesome. You go to the movie theater for an experience, you know.

If it's not loud if it's too loud, you're too old. Watch it at home, you know. You can go to a concert and tell them to turn the PA down. Come on. You wanna feel it.

Yeah. Anyway, yeah. Thumbs up to the Benson Boone cookie. It was good. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show.
