The Viktor Wilt Show

It's a Victor will chill morning. Man, it's it's weird how some minor adjustments can just make everything feel so off. I'm sure that once I get used to this, it's gonna be, great. But right now, it's just like, what is happening? This feels so weird.

Alright. Let's dive in here. Well, it's, this thread could get nasty, but we'll skip over any nastiness. What is the dumbest thing people take pride in? Let's check it out and cast my judgment upon these responses.

Alright. Never taking a day off work even when they are sick. Yeah. That is pretty dumb. Take a day off.

Alright. I mean, I've talked to people who are of this mindset and one, if you're sick, stay away from me. Okay? Talked about that before. If you were sick, stay home.

Don't come in and infect your workplace. I know it can be tough. I know that maybe like me, You're limited on your amount of PTO. Do you think when I got COVID a few months ago that I wanted to take a week off of work? No.

I like using my vacation time to vacation, not sit around my house miserable, but I could have either infected the whole building or stayed home. So I did the right thing, stayed home. And also taking a day off just every once in a while, just because is a good thing. You know, call in sick. You you don't have to tell your boss if they're uptight that, hey.

I just need a mental health day. Some people are bothered by those kind of terms because, well, I don't know why. But, yeah, some of the best days off I've enjoyed were like, you know, alright. I just can't take it anymore. I gotta go home, sit in front of that TV, play some video games, pet the kitties, go fishing for kitties.

That's a good day sometimes. So I agree with this post on Reddit. Never taking a day off from work even when you're sick is dumb. Stay home if you're not feeling well and just stay home for fun. Well, let's see.

Willful ignorance. I don't know if a lot of it's willful anymore. There's a lot of people who think they know things, but they just read it on social media. Yeah. I don't know how many times in the last few weeks I have been getting into discussions on Facebook, which I know is a waste of time.

But I've asked so many people that are spouting off crazy things. I'm like, k. Show me proof. Show me proof. And without question, every single time, well, you know, I remember I heard this and this or I personally experienced blah blah blah.

It's like, okay. You're you're spouting off some pretty, strong statements here. Show me proof. They can't. They can't.

What else are things that people take pride in that are dumb? Being a mean person. Yeah. You're gonna have a miserable life later on. Oh, people just can't handle me.

You know, this is just how I am. No. You're being a jerk and nobody likes you. You know why? Because you're being a jerk.

Turn it around. You can change. Talk to a counselor. Yeah. There's help out there if you can't snap out of your mean attitude.

It's nothing to be proud of. K. And you're you're making yourself miserable. Yeah. If you're doing about your day to day life just cranky and mean, you're you're bringing yourself down, so stop it.

Alright. This one, I knew it had to pop up eventually. Making a political party your whole identity. That is absolutely dumb. You know, Peach has, told me about this subreddit not a subreddit.

Facebook group a while back that's, I don't know. It's man caves and basement bars or something and I looked at it one day and so now, of course, I get a lot of these posts popping up on my Reddit feed. I'd say three quarters of the guys showing off their man caves. They're all built around a big centerpiece which tends to be some type of a political flag. And every time I see this, I just cringe out.

If I walked into a friend's house to hang out and they had a banner for a politician hanging in their home, I think that's weird personally. I think it's weird. K? But because who are these people to be fans of? You know?

I get I'm trying to think. Do I around my house? I mean, I have some band posters and things. Do they have actual, like I don't know. Music's something to be proud of, being a fan of or at least to have no shame in being a fan of.

I don't know if you are such a big fan of a politician. These people who I don't care what side you're on. The people at the top do not care about the average person, in my opinion. They've done nothing to show to me that they do. Again, I I just think it's strange.

And so, yeah, if I walk into somebody's house and they've got a giant political flag hanging up, I'm out of there. Alright? Because that's just strange to me. And I would hope that people would do the same if they walked into my house and I had big political banners hanging up. Be like, dude, are you obsessed?

What's wrong with you? Why don't you hang up a I don't know, a tapestry or something? Something interesting to look at. Something that makes a nice decoration. Alright.

Having an extremely loud vehicle. Are people proud of that or do they just like it? Like, I don't get it. I wouldn't want, you know, for example, like a Harley but motorcycles are just not my jam. You know?

I've I know I'd wreck and die. Alright. I'm paranoid. But I don't know. Loud vehicles don't really bother me.

I guess there's other loud sounds that are much more irritating. Like, okay. Which would you rather hear? Motorcycle drive by or a screaming baby in the grocery store? I think I'm gonna go with motorcycle.

Screaming baby in a restaurant or a motorcycle outside Revenant's engine. Yeah. Alright. What else do we have? Not sleeping enough.

Do people brag about that? I don't think people brag about that. Well, they I guess they've gotta or people wouldn't make this post, but yeah. Get as much sleep as you can. I know it it it can be hard.

Like, I don't have a desire to sleep a lot because I feel like I'm wasting days. I'm wasting waking hours, which is why I tend to stay up late on the weekend and then wake up, you know, earlier than I'd like. And then the week rolls around, and then I'm just a disaster. It's a never ending cycle. But I tell you what.

When I do get the sleep that I need, it's like, oh, that that was great. I should probably do that more often. Okay. Here's another thing you should not be proud of. Alright?

How drunk or wasted you can get. K? I've known many people who are proud of how drunk or wasted they can get. It's not a skill you want to have. Trust me.

Trust me. It's not a skill you want to have. As someone who has the ability to really tie it on, you know, it's not good. You know? I wish I had different skills than that.

That's for sure. That's why I gotta avoid that stuff. When you are really good at, drinking, it is really bad for you. Alright? Being a lightweight's great because you're you're not gonna overdo it.

Well, I mean, maybe if you do, you're like, oh, I had my three. You throw up and then, you know, you're like, I don't wanna do that again. Yeah. If you're the type that you can just, keep going. Next thing you know, you wake up and you're like, what happened?

Oh, I feel like I'm gonna die. Yeah. I I think, having a body that would naturally reject the booze and you just, you know, spew, that that's much better. It's much better than being able to hold it down. You know, it'll catch up with you.

Alright. What else do we have here? Being uneducated, there are people who are proud of that. I didn't go to college. The anti college sentiment at an all time high right now go go to college k go to school learn some things some actual book learning would do most of humanity some good all right I've I've about had it.

No. Not even about. I have had it with, you know, those who've been educated by Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. Alright? Lots of misinformation and stupidity flying around.

Okay. I'm closing this thread. I I was trying to avoid this kind of stuff, but it gets my brain going in the direction of, yeah, the news that I don't wanna think about right now. I should have known that a thread. What's something stupid that people take pride in?

Yeah. That that's going to be annoying. Alright. So we'll start, we'll start digging up something else, and let's keep rolling back in a second. You know, talking about earlier, how taking a day off every once in a while is a great idea.

You know, just call in sick, take a mental health day. Now I'm like, well, what could I do today if I wasn't at work? I could eat. I don't know. I was looking at eastIdahonews.com.

The East Idaho eats section of the website under features. Each week, they throw out a new, like, restaurant recommendation. Now I've actually been to this place, but it was for our company party. So I haven't been there and just had, you know, whatever they whip up on a normal day to day basis. That would be 18 in Downtown Idaho Falls, you know, kind of a higher end bar.

And I know they got, like, the the fancy boozes and things in there because I've seen the menu. The food we had at our company party and the mocktails, All very, very good, really friendly staff. And it's a it's a really cool building too. You know, kind of got that basement speakeasy vibe going on. Pretty neat.

You should go check out this article and, take a look at the pictures of food so you can get hungry. They got these, Korean barbecue skewers. You know, there's flatbreads. All kinds of all kinds of stuff. Anyway, I don't tend to look at food this early in the morning because, I don't wanna get hungrier right now, but I do have oatmeal and toast in the house.

You know, I'm trying to do better, trying to do better. Avoid things like, running down to Maverick and getting a breakfast sandwich or breakfast burrito. Like, dude, just eat the toast, man. Come on. If you get back on that toast and oatmeal regimen, maybe you can shed some of that, you know, dad bod that you've really packed on in the last year.

Jeez. Alright. Sorry. Just beating myself up a little bit this morning. Anyway yeah.

Even if you're not into the bar scene, this place is pretty classy. Eighteen in Downtown Idaho Falls. And, yeah. You can get yourself a mocktail. You don't have to go in and, and drink.

You can get some good food and have yourself, like, the 18 Julius orange juice, fresh raspberries, and syrup. I think I had that when I was there. I I you know me. I can't remember anything. All I know is whatever mocktail I had, it was delicious.

I think it was like, some kind of a fake, what's the name of that beverage with the, ginger ginger beer and stuff? Oh my goodness. A Moscow mule. It was like, yeah, fake one of those. It was good, but I really like, ginger beer.

So, anyway, I'm gonna close that tab. I don't need to be working up an appetite yet, but I don't know. Maybe you're trying to already figure out what to do after work. Cruise over there. Poppy.

No. Just kidding. It's spirit box. But I have been enjoying all of the online content regarding the Grammys and the interviewer who was interviewing Courtney from spirit box, but thought she was poppy. Courtney handled it really well by just going, yeah.

I'm, I'm poppy. I'm so excited to be up for a Grammy with Knocked Loose, and I hope we win. And it it was pretty funny. Pretty funny stuff. Yeah.

If you're, a red carpet interviewer, you should probably try to have your your act together, but it just goes to show the Grammys don't care or know anything about rock and metal. You know, we talked about the Grammy winners yesterday. And, you know, I don't tend to think much about it because the Grammys are usually, you know, pretty awful as far as the nominees. And, you know, as someone who works in music and goes through all of the new music each year, I always find some of the nominations pretty baffling. And the more I did think about it, I think I said, you know, fairly nice things about the Rolling Stones and the Beatles yesterday.

You know, they're legends. But much as I liked that Beatles song I mean, rock song of the year, come on. Come on. The it's not like the band sat down and recorded new music together. It was, you know, a compilation of old recorded material.

They use some AI to make it sound better, and I don't know. I I just think that the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, they they don't really need these awards. You know? And there was better stuff that came out last year. Alright.

I only listened to, like, a song or two off the new Rolling Stones album, and I listened to them once. I was like, okay. Yeah. That's new Rolling Stones. It wasn't earth shattering.

So it would be really nice to see if, you know, some of these old timer bands. You know, maybe just kinda leave them out of the mix unless they really come out and do something amazing, which can happen. It happens from time to time, but I don't think those were the moments. Anyway, at least they got the medal category right and gave Gojira the Grammy for their performance at the Olympics. That that was good.

That was good. But I I just, you know, would like to see, you know, some some different artists end up in these categories because there was there was a lot of good stuff that came out last year. I mean, if you're gonna go with, like bands who have been on the scene forever, I'm kind of amazed they didn't chuck Linkin Park into the mix or something. That was that was the biggest rock song of last year, the emptiness machine. Why wasn't that in there?

You know, it it's not like it was the greatest song of all time, but it was the biggest rock song of last year. So I I don't know. Anyway, there the Grammys are over, and who cares? It's you know, we have the same discussion basically every year. But at least we got a little bit of enjoyable rock and metal content out of it with the, spirit box poppy kerfuffle.

Kerfuffle? Anyway, I'll be back. Alright. Over the weekend, I think I mentioned this yesterday. I finished up a replay of the last of us part two, one of the greatest video games of all time.

Kind of funny listener Stewart has been playing this game, and he reached a certain point in the game. Sent me a message. I was like, I'm done. I'm like, dude, you gotta keep going. Alright?

Just keep going. K? I it's really hard to dance around this game without giving away any spoilers because you've got season two coming to HBO in April, which is very exciting. I thought they did a great job with season one. I mean, the games are still better because you're controlling them and, I don't know.

The the acting in the game it's nothing against the acting in the show. Just they did such a good job in the game that, I'm really curious to see how they pull off season two because it's a very, different and unexpected story, which is why about half the fans of the first game hate part two. You either think it's one one of the best video games of all time or you completely hate it. And I've watched a few videos about this where people are discussing why they don't like the second game, and, ultimately, it comes down to the storytelling. I gotta tell you this.

Maybe it's because I'm a horror fan. You know, you don't need to have a story filled with, sunshine and rainbows. That's not gonna, you know, potentially bother you for it to be a good story. Good storytelling is good storytelling. And, sure, there are some things here and there that it's like, well, that seems convenient.

You know, that was lucky that that happened. But overall, the way in which they tell the story is so crazy and so bold. I mean, the first time I played through it, I just could not believe this was the route they took and sure I was a little bit thrown off but you know, as you make your way through it, it's just so good. Well, anyway, I guess for season two of the HBO show, they're going to be including some material that was left out of the game. They had to, cut from part two that, Neil Druckman, the writer and director of both Last of Us games says is pretty brutal, but I am very excited for people to see it.

Well, there's some scenes in the game itself that are pretty brutal, so I don't know what to expect there but, yeah, it is gonna be pretty interesting to see what they do. You know, having just barely wrapped up a playthrough, what approach they're going to take to telling the story. And what's funny is the things that make people the maddest about the story, there's no way they can cut them from the TV show. You know, you can't change the story or there is no story. You can't just make certain characters not exist or there is no story.

I I don't know. Again, I think this all goes back to I've read a lot of horror novels where you have an unhappy, story itself or an unhappy ending. I mean, would you even call the end of the last of us part one a happy ending? I I don't think so. Depends.

It's a controversial ending. It's such a good story. I you know, despite all the little conveniences that, you know, these type of things happen in every story. Somebody will just pop up and save the day or something or despite all of that, I still think it's probably the best story experience in a video game. And that's coming from the guy obsessed with Red Dead Redemption two, which the Red Dead games, I think, are right up there, right next to it with the, the best story in video games.

And, characters you get attached to. I think these two particular, franchises I mean, you really, really get attached to the characters. So so good. Stewart, keep going. Alright.

Keep going. It might be unpleasant at times. It might make you sad, but keep going. It's worth it. Alright.

All of these, years, I've been like, I don't need this stupid clock in front of me. I gotta get used to staring at the little tiny clock in the corner here. Okay. I hope this one doesn't make people mad. It's a it's a very brief break here, but I just I just have a request.

I'm not gonna get into any specific political stuff, but just a request. Those of you who keep referring to the president as daddy, can you stop, please? Oh, like so. I don't know. We we talked about this a while back, which is funny because I was watching, the Righteous Gemstones, and I was asking him, like, is it a thing down south where people, like grown men, just call their dad daddy?

And we got a call from, you know, a listener in Tennessee who's like, yeah. That's just kinda what they do down here. If it's I guess if it's your actual daddy and it's a, cultural thing in the region you live in. Okay. I don't understand it because it still seems weird.

Daddy. I don't know. If my dad was still around, I didn't call him up. Hey, daddy. How's it going?

He'd be, what what are you talking about? What how old are you? But there is just something so cringey to me about referring to the president as daddy. I every time I see it, I'm like, oh, it's just creepy crawly. You know?

Like, can you imagine if, people were referring to Biden, his daddy? I mean, at at bare minimum, you gotta call these people grandpa. K? These guys are too old to be daddy. Alright?

Grandpa, actually, I I would not cringe out as bad for that because it makes age wise sense, but I don't know. The the the word daddy has probably been just ruined by too many different types of, entertainment material or something but that word itself in in almost any context you know like if my kids called me that I'd be like just call me dad I don't know what it is. Daddy. So anyway, just wanna point it out that, to me, that's very cringey. It's it's weird.

K? Alright. I I got it out of my system. Got it out of my system. Are we all cool?

We all cool? I'm not judging you. I'm just saying it to me. It's cringy and weird. K?

And I know that these trends kick up and people follow the trends and share posts and things, but, you you know, just settle down a little bit, please. It makes me uncomfortable. Alright. Let's dive into the dumbest news of the day, freak news. Alright.

Let's see here. How about warnings from a time traveler? That sound fun? It's gotta be legit. This is from brobible.com.

Time traveler from the year 2671 issues several dire warnings for 2025. Alright. What kind of doom awaits? Let's see here. This guy claims that he reminded everyone that TikTok was gonna be banned.

So he's apparently shared several warnings about natural disasters. TikTok getting banned would not be a natural disaster. I don't even know if it would be a disaster. Though at this point, I gotta say the vibes on TikTok is well, it's been a bit. I haven't looked at much social media, you know, other other than a little bit of scrolling here and there.

Haven't dove in on TikTok in a bit, but for a while there, it was like, oh, this place is great. The vibes are nice. I I don't have to look at the comment section because it doesn't seem to really force it on you. You gotta, like, dive in to get it. Just watch some stupid videos.

Okay. Anyway, back to the dire warnings coming in 2025 according to a, time traveler from the year 2671, March thirtieth. Man, that's coming up quick. A one mile wide asteroid is going to hit Central America, causing a 400 mile wide crater that will be named Goliath. Millions of people will be killed.

Wow. And the Southern United States along with Mexico, uninhabitable for years. Well, that's a bold prediction. This guy, he seems to think the world's gonna end in, 2025. He says on, 04/24/2020, man.

Many of the world's largest volcanoes will erupt. And it says due to the sky turning a bright pink color. Okay. For some reason, he says this is gonna cause a lot of pressure in Yellowstone, Fiji or Fuji and Mauna Loa. So Yellowstone gonna blow up here in, two months according to this time traveler.

Okay. Well then, I guess we don't need to worry about the asteroid that hit a month before because, yeah. Everybody's doomed. Now he's predicting in July that they will be the hottest days in the history of The United States. Now if Yellowstone blows up that would create a nuclear winter type situation.

There'd be so much ash in the sky. The temperature you know, based on what we know about these kind of volcanic eruptions, the temperature would drop. So what's going to cause the hottest days in the history of The US? This guy's timeline doesn't seem to work out very well. And then he says that the first ever category six hurricane is going to hit the Southeastern Portion of The US, heavily focused in Florida and Georgia.

Winds reaching 400 miles per hour, and they're going to name the hurricane Karen. Okay. Sure, buddy. Anyway, if you wanna keep up on all of your, time travel news, you can go to radiant time traveler on TikTok. Alright.

Sure. Don't worry about these things, but I I you know, if I if an asteroid hits I don't know what I was even gonna say. Well, let's let's just move on. If your friend claims they can dodge bullets, don't test this. K?

This was down in Utah. This is sad. Kearns, Utah. You got a guy who shot his friend. No.

Because his friend claimed he could dodge bullets. Well, his friend is dead now. Peaches walks in. Dude, I'm so quick. I can dodge bullets.

That's when I give him an, oh, good for you and move along with my day. Not, oh, let's go out in the parking lot and test it. This will be great content for our social media pages. We'll get a viral video if we show you dodging bullets. Somebody been watching way too many, magic shows, things like that.

I I hate to break it to everybody, but the bullet catch, it's a magic trick. They don't really shoot a bullet at the other person. K? If you're really curious, you can look up different ways that magicians have performed the bullet catch over the years and in 0% of them do they actually shoot a bullet out of a gun at somebody who then catches it. Alright?

Oh, finally. Don't take selfies on the edge of the Grand Canyon. I pointed this out before. You know, selfies have become one of the world's most dangerous activities Between 02/2008 and 2021, '3 hundred '70 '9 people have died taking selfies and hundreds more have sustained serious injuries. Since then, other sources suggest the toll had risen to as many as four hundred eighty fatalities by the end of twenty twenty four.

So alright. Each year, I talk about going into natural waters. Each year, five or six people die from shark attacks. K? I don't go in natural waters ever because I don't know what's in there and it gives me the creeps and there's, you know, critters that might attack you.

I might start going back into natural waters because I have taken selfies. But here's the thing. If you're on the edge of a cliff, you can get a little bit, disoriented. K? And that's not the type of place you wanna stumble.

So, if you'd like to read through the entire article about, selfie deaths, you can find it at yahoo.com, which is, you know, it's always fun when some kind of a horrible death story's on yahoo.com. But, yeah. Just be cautious with these selfies. Alright? Pick up that book, Death in Grand Canyon and read all about it.

So. Alright. Go take a selfie by a shark. I'll be back. Good morning, Peaches.

Good morning. It is awfully red in here. It is very red. I went to all red today. It's fun being able to adjust the lighting in here.

I've also got my living room at home set up in a similar fashion to where I can now light it up like a circus. So that's that's pretty fun. I mean, I got that set up a while ago, but last night, I, was tinkering a bit with the app, the Govee app, and was able to, dial in the TV lights my daughter gave me a little bit better. So it it's pure mayhem in my living room. Midlife crisis.

That's right. %. Yeah. You know, most people will go buy one item, sports car or something like that. You know, my midlife crisis was I'm going to set my house up how I want it So it feels like my cozy perfect space everywhere, and it's working out real nice.

And now we got the studio set up a little bit more to my liking as well. The computers are completely rearranged. The room's completely rearranged. Just need to get something to hang up back there and tidy up that mess on that counter. I sent you an email yesterday regarding, like, five different, tapestries Oh.

That we could hang up. Well, let me take a look and pass judgment on Peach's suggestions They're pretty funny. For a tapestry. The biggest size they had was, like, six and a half foot by five foot. Yeah.

We need I think we're gonna have to go three by five. Which is I'm sure they have that one. Now you emailed me this, I would assume, at my work email? Yeah. Yesterday.

Alright. Let me see if I could find it here. Oh, there it is. Okay. We got a death clock tapestry.

Let's give it a look here. Too black? Too black. Too black. A lot of them are black, unfortunately.

That's the thing. Yeah. I want I want something colorful. Let's see here. What's this next one?

They're all black. Stat oh, this is like old school here. The new metal tapestry with a bunch of, cassette tapes, Deftones Around the First, Static x with Wisconsin Death Trip, Mushroom Head, Snot, Get Some, Spine Shank, and Coal Chamber. Interesting choices. I thought, you know, you might see Korn and Limp Bizkit and Slipknot.

Good to see some of the, the old school classics that I was listening to as a teenager. Alright. Let's see what the next one is here. Caffeine and Ibuprofen. That that's the one that I was like, okay.

We might need to get that. Even if it's not for that placement, maybe put it somewhere else like the wall over here with the, like, porn poster. What size is this? You can choose any size. Why do they list it in inches?

Man, these are kind of expensive. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Oh, they're big flags, you know? Yep. Just seem kinda $50, you know, for a large one. So maybe you see how big the large one is? Eighty inches?

Yeah. So that's, Six and a half feet? Yeah. That's pretty long. I know, but $50?

50 bucks is pretty hefty for, anyway, I like this one with the black metal guy holding a cat for sure, but I don't know if it'll reflect enough light. Also, I don't know if the bosses would want us to have anything with an upside down cross on it. That's what I thought. Does have on his forehead. Well, it is the K Bear Studio.

It is the K Bear Studio, but still, you know. You know. I mean, we've got, you know, people who come into this room all the time from the community. We gotta keep it, somewhat. Don't go to the classy studio.

It's okay. Well, but, you know, we got the we got the room with the four mics. We're Podcast Central. So alright. There there's some pretty decent ones in there.

I don't know if any of them screamed at me the perfect one. I I gotta say, it's caffeine and ibuprofen. That's the perfect one. Fantastic. Yeah.

I I like the look of it. I just it's too black. I want something colorful. I mean, look around the room. We got the Beartooth that's pretty black.

You got Point north that's black. We got blackout curtains. Mhmm. And, yeah, we need, we need something that'll reflect the light back there. So we'll we'll figure it out.

We'll figure it out. What else was I gonna talk to you about before that came up? The Post Malone Oreos that I brought in. Oh, that's right. Peaches brought snacks.

Post Malone Oreos. So these are Posties swirled salted caramel and shortbread flavor cream. They've got, you know, a chocolate cookie on one side, the vanilla cookie on the other. K. I'm gonna grab one.

Here you go, Peaches. Alright. This has a guitar on one side. Pretty rock and roll. Pretty rock and roll.

Smells sweet. Let's give it a whirl. Oh, sorry, everybody. Excellent. I mean, have you ever had bad Oreo peaches?

The one I didn't like at all was the, the Coke Oreo with the Pop Rocks just because I find Pop Rocks annoying. Those were yeah Those were the worst Oreos I've ever had These are really good Try one. They're good. Oh Yeah, these are excellent My only complaint Uh-oh. Is that there's not more, cream in the middle.

Like, the last Here's what you do. The last Oreos I bought were the multiple Oreos. Were the Oreos. Oreos. Don't be wrong with something.

You grab multiple Oreos. You grab a knife, and you put you put all the cream into one and make your own. Yeah. Have you ever had the birthday cake Oreos? Mhmm.

Yeah. Those are, like, double stuffed with the little sprinkles in them. I think if they these had that much frosting in them, they'd be perfect, but these are, I gotta say, one of the best Oreos I ever had. Top Josh? Josh, come here.

No. He he just kept going. Fine. Fine, Josh Tyler. You didn't need a cookie anyway.

Alright. Thanks, Peaches. This is a good snack. We'll be back in just a minute. Highly recommend you pick up Post Malone Oreos.

Now we just need to get Post Malone to come hang out in the studio. That's why I'm like, I'm hoping you didn't just trash his Oreo. I didn't. I just said it needed more cream. Right.

You know? I and one of the best Oreos I ever had. You trashed the Mr. Beast chocolate bars. So I was like, oh, there we go.

Oh, yeah. But those Mr. Beast chocolate lab out the window. The Mr. Beast chocolate bars were garbage.

That was one of the worst chocolates I've ever had. I heard they redid them and, made them a little bit better. They're they're good. But they're still, you know, for the price, buy Ferrero. You know, if I'm gonna buy expensive chocolate, I'm gonna buy quality expensive chocolate.

You know, if you want a regular old chocolate bar, get a get a Hershey's. Let's see what this person wants. K Bear, you are live on the show. Please keep that in mind. Who's this?

It's Quentin. Go over to one of those mics, Josh. Sorry. You said this is who? Quentin.

Quentin, what's up, dude? Hey. Have you found the mega stuffed Oreos yet? I don't know if I've seen mega stuffed Oreos. Josh, Peaches, have you seen mega stuffed?

Yeah. But it's Stuf because there's only one f. Oh, it's Stuf. Mega Stuf. Well, we were gonna give you a Post Malone Oreo, Josh, and see what your, what your thoughts are.

I rated them as excellent. Okay. What's the what's the story with them? I don't know. They got, cream in the middle.

So it's posties swirled salted caramel and shortbread flavor creme. Yeah. Is the pad turned on on that mic? Those guys were moving stuff around yesterday. That mic sounds kind of weird.

A little gnarly. Just got a little bit of echo. I think Jill just yelled two sweets from outside the studio. Oh, sorry, Jill. I'm deaf and have headphones on.

I couldn't hear you. I think these are really good. They're they're very tasty. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

My only dollar store, you can find those mega stuff. I'm not, oh, dollar store for mega stuff. All right. I'll have to pick some of those up. Mega Stuf.

I forgot there was. All right. Yeah. He's he's still hanging out. Quentin's still hanging out.

I really like this cookie. No. I'm hanging. Yeah. Dude, Quentin, you gotta go get yourself some of these, Post Malone Oreos.

They're Way better than the Lady Gaga collab. The the Lady Gaga ones were pink. I don't remember those. It was when Galactica came out. Oh.

So it's been a couple years, but Okay. They were they were okay. This is a really good cookie. I like this. Yeah.

Yeah. These are great. This is a good one. Well done, Posty. Well done.

Well, thanks for the heads up on the mega mouth. Stoop. Thanks again for the, heads up on the mega Stoop, Quentin. We'll we'll hit the dollar store and see if we could find some. Alright, man.

See you. Alright. Peace. Alright. Good find, Peaches.

Good find. No shout out to the person that suggested it because I I didn't realize they were out yet. Life in Idaho Falls on Facebook. Someone was like, hey. Are those post Milan Oreos out there?

Someone comments, brolams and ammen. I grabbed my keys. I was sitting there on the couch. Just bark, went out the door. Drove all the way across town.

It was a tiny little pack. Like, you know, these are pretty tiny packs. Yeah. That's a small pack. In in the middle of all the other Oreo flavors.

Somehow, I just saw it. Nice. Oh, I don't need to know those exist. That's bad for me. Trying to avoid, sweets and things.

I wanna go run the office and share them with people. Alright. Yeah. Get them out of my sight. Otherwise, I'm gonna have a bad day.

Well, a good bad day. Well, in addition to being just annoying, Mark Zuckerberg is apparently also covering up the truth about aliens. Yeah. Ufologist Mark Christopher Lee says Zuckerberg has found evidence of aliens in our galaxy, but due to concerns about the public reaction, it's been kept quiet. You know, I've said over the years that I think they're covering up UFOs and aliens if they are because of this very reason, the public couldn't handle it.

I'm pretty sure the public could handle it at this point. Looking at everything on social media that people are like, yeah. Sure. I mean, if you unleash the information that there are aliens, what's the worst that's gonna happen? You're gonna have half the people saying it's fake.

I don't believe it. It's fake. You could show them a video. Yeah. That's AI.

And the other half of people are gonna be like, oh, neat. Cool. And then they'll go back to screaming at each other about the dumbest things ever on social media. Alright. So Mark Christopher Lee says that, the tech billionaire Zuckerberg has been funding a SETI program called breakthrough.

Listen. And two years ago, located a signal coming from Proxima Centauri, 4.2 light years from earth, which it more recently said came from a satellite, but he's like, it wasn't a satellite. It was aliens. And the Zucks covering it up. Oh, we got somebody calling UFO expert better be.

K, Bear, you're live on the show. Please keep that in mind. Who's this? Hey, Zach. How are you doing?

Zach, I'm doing well. What's up, man? Hey. So speaking of aliens, I wanna say it was maybe a year, year and a half ago. CIA came out and said aliens exist.

Now I believe that the government said that there are objects in the sky that they can't identify, but I don't remember the exact phrasing of aliens exist. I'm gonna have to look this one up. CIA Yeah. I'll have to I'll have to rewatch the video. It was a big press conference, thing out in wanna say it was in the Supreme Court or something.

They did have that big, oh, what what's the phrase for this? You know, a big press conference type meeting thing. I know there's a a proper word for what that was. With some people who work for the CIA, showing or speaking about their personal experience and things like that. You can go to cia.gov, check out the flying saucers, UFO reports, and things like that.

So there have been people alleging, you know, who worked in government agencies, that, you know, aliens exist. But you got that guy, Edward Snowden, who, you know, had access to all of this classified information and things like that. And I I think he said with all of his searching into the c a CIA databases, he couldn't find anything that showed, you know, specifically aliens existing. But I you know, the universe is so massive. It's pretty much, you know, an impossibility that there's no other life out there.

I just wonder if it can actually get to us, same as us being able to get to them. You know? You know, I feel like they do come by every once in a while as like a like a testing thing. Like, hey. I wonder how they're doing.

Well, you know, what's funny in when you read about, UFO research and things, UFO sightings really kicked up after the first atomic bomb was dropped, or, you know, the the testing began. And so a lot of people believe that that kinda got the attention of aliens, and that they're since then, keeping an eye on us and seeing if we, destroy ourselves. Hopefully, we don't. Yeah. Here we go.

Npr.org. July set twenty seventh of twenty three. Let's see. US recovered nonhuman biologics from UFO crash sites. USO or Us recovered non biological NPR nonhuman biologics.

All right. I'm pulling up this article. Okay. So a former Intel official says UFO recovered nonhuman biologics. That's three military veterans, testifying, including a former air force intelligence officer, who claimed the us government has operated a secret multi decade reverse engineering program of recovered vessels, reverse engineering UFOs, and that they have recovered non human biologics from crash sites.

So we got a guy saying it, but, you know, we we don't really have proof. We got we got his word, but I think the overall government hasn't just said, yes. This is all true and shown us the proof, which I would love to see. At this point, any kind of distraction from everything going on in the world, show us the aliens, please. Please.

That'd be nice. Yeah. Well, appreciate good. Yeah. Appreciate that call, man.

And, I do remember seeing these articles. I just really wish, yeah, we just have some flat out, here it is, proof, or, you know, a consensus. The government as a whole is like, yeah. Yeah. That guy was telling the truth.

So Yeah. But, yeah, think we can get the government to tell us the truth? Yeah. That's not happening anytime soon. Yeah.

Unfortunately. So, well, have a good one, Vicky. Hey, you too, man. Always good to hear from you. Take care.

Peace. All right. So if Zuckerberg gets some info out, if he fesses up to, you know, covering up the proof about aliens, I'll let you know. In the meantime, I guess we get back to more killer tunes. Yeah.

I got some good stuff coming up. Alright. I was digging around here trying to figure out new music to put into the system for the week. I had a list yesterday, didn't save it, and then they ripped my computers apart and, it's gone now. So I'm trying to remember what was on it.

No idea. I know I had a few other songs that I just can't think of. So I started looking around and looking at all the places that I find music and nope. Nothing there. What am I forgetting?

So I was like, well, let's just get out of that zone and let's see what we could find as far as, popular new songs. So I found a playlist on Spotify called metal charts top 200. These are the current top 200 metal songs on Spotify sorted by popularity. I was like, okay. Let's check it out and let's see if this is accurate.

Number one on the list, something I've never heard of, a band called Each Soul with a song called dark maze. Okay. Let's, let's pull up some streaming information on this song. Each soul, dark maze. Alright.

Came out, a month and a half ago. Should have some solid data on it. Okay. This is not a popular song. I'm not gonna throw them under the bus for their streaming numbers.

But I was like, maybe I've just never heard of this before. No. No. Whoever made this playlist must be, you know, getting getting some kind of goodies on the side or something from, this particular artist. Because I can guarantee you that song is not more popular than Ratatata by Electric Callboy and Babymetal or Mea Culpa from Gojira, Ronald by Falling in Reverse, Bring Me the Horizon Kool Aid.

The rest of this list does look like popular metal, but the number one song? No. And the this list isn't even new. As I go further along, I know for a fact this is not accurate. So that's annoying.

Anytime you see top anything, you know, here's the top blank on a Spotify playlist. I want you to keep in mind, You could create a chart called the top metal tracks of 2025 on Spotify. You could make it yourself and put whatever you want in it. Alright? Doesn't mean that it reflects reality.

Just kinda like anything else online. Alright. Well, anyway, I I guess it did work for him. It got my attention, but I listened to the song and was like, yeah. Not blown away here.

Not blown away. So anyway, I guess I gotta keep digging. Gotta keep digging. And, you know, if I don't remember all of the songs I was gonna put in, oh, well. Alright.

I think right now would be a pretty good time to cue the outrage. Now might be a really good time for you to get angry. That's my secret, cat. I'm always angry. Alright, Peaches.

You shut up just in time for cue the outrage. Did you hear what Instagram has done? You hear what they did? No. Well, well, apparently, they've implemented a new feature that nobody asked for.

You might have seen it. I did notice this on my phone. If you go to reels, which I better turn this down all the way. If you go to reels, you'll have a little pop up little pop up up at the top there, top right, that's got a bunch of your friends with little hearts. Yeah.

And if you click on that It shows what they liked. It will show what videos they liked Mhmm. And people are very mad about this because some people treat their significant others terribly and they, you know, are worried about their significant others seeing them liking those videos of, I don't know, ladies shaking their booty. But see, I thought it would have been more so, like, videos of, like, you know, terrible, terrible things that may you may like. Yeah.

Or that. But that would still pop up, I would think. Right? Because it was on the bottom liked by so and so Exactly. And insert amount of others.

Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, I might start losing some Facebook friends speeches. Uh-oh. You know, people might see what I've been liking.

You've already made some posts that might have gotten some people mad. I don't care. You know what? I don't care. If they don't like that type of messaging, get them off anyway.

Well, and I I've just kind of decided that, every now and again, I'm going to, let people know what I think. As you should for your speech. No. Cause, for a long time, I pretty much kept my mouth shut about everything, but, I think it's important for, people to have a voice and for, you know, the average person to know they're they're not alone in their thoughts. Mhmm.

So there are other people like you out there, and, you can talk. Definitely. You know, you shouldn't feel afraid to get the word out, and I want people to, feel supported. But, anyhow, I, looked through it, and I didn't find any, controversial stuff that my friends had been liking. I was hoping to, you know, see, oh, look at what Peach has been up to.

I do I do like some crazy stuff. Well, it hasn't shown me any of it, as far as I know. But, note to anybody who happens to look at my videos, just settle down. Be funny, some of our listeners. I'm trying the last video I remembered clicking like on.

I hope Judith doesn't get mad at me if she's listening. I clicked like on an AOC video. It wasn't because she's a girl. It was because of what she had to say. Alright?

I think you're gonna say she was shaking her butt on camera. Think AOC is gonna do that. Can you imagine she's, like, trying to spread this political message? Next thing you know, the next video is her, you know, just dancing or whatever? No.

I you know, right now, there's about two two politicians that, I can tolerate, and it's because they're being aggressive libs. And that is Bernie Sanders and AOC. That's your next man. All the other dems are just gutless and they just That that's your next band on there. Aggressive libs.

Aggressive libs. I like that. It you know, they wonder why they don't win. It's because they're gutless. You know?

You gotta you gotta throw out the attack in this day and age. Oh, for sure. And it wouldn't be hard, you know? But they're all so nice. We're gonna be all nice, you know, enough Enough being nice.

I can't imagine if I was my true self on the Internet, it would be horrible. Well, people just respond back to people and stuff. People think I'm, like, being offensive now in some way, shape, or form. I can't imagine if I were to actually, you know, be a % me on the internet. See what you have learned how to be effective in conversing with people online.

Oh, definitely. Because if you're, you know, just aggressive, it doesn't doesn't really go anywhere. Which apply back to people, you're ugly. That's it. Yeah.

Yeah. You're you're gonna no sense. Yeah. It doesn't help anything. No.

Though I did read some interesting stats yesterday that made me rethink any of the, times I've tried to educate people online. I wanna believe or I wanna say it was, like, 20% of Americans, can't read over an eighth grade level or something like that. That explains a lot. So The the if you try to write up, you know, well reasoned, response to a question Here. I got you.

One in five people can't even understand it, probably. Go type whatever comment paragraph that you wanna type up. Go to chat g p t and say, write this as if it were like a second grader reading. And then it'll give you an exact thing. You copy and paste it.

I might have to try doing well, I've kinda right now, I'm on a break from responding to anything that annoys me online. Announce that on Facebook? An online departure of sorts? No. I'm taking a break from social media.

For those that have my number, you know what what to do. I mean, I can't take a break from social media because it's part of my job. But I will say that in my free time, I'm doing everything I can to avoid it because it's just not pleasant, and it feels like it's making me dumber I mean to read it. Josh from class, he deleted Facebook off of his phone. Yeah.

He's only got the, Josh Tyler page. Yeah. Yeah. But, no, he deleted, like, the Facebook app off of his phone. Oh.

And only posts when he's here, which makes sense. Yeah. If Facebook's, kind of a cesspool right now and, you know, when Zuckerberg came out and was like, alright. We're gonna start putting more news on your social media feeds. You didn't need to make it all news, Zuckerberg.

I did see Justin was talking about forced ads on his feed too. Dude, it Facebook and Instagram have gotten to be horrible in the last few weeks. Like, if if you don't wanna be pummeled with news, don't fire them up, you know. I kinda miss the days when yeah. I I didn't think social media was gonna get worse, basically.

You know, it was bad six months ago. Instagram used to be fun. It used to just be people sharing photos, and that was it. There was no reels. There was no stars.

There was no ad bladed post. Nothing. Well, eventually, they all destroy themselves just like Myspace. Myspace was was great. It was wonderful, and then they ruined it.

Facebook used to be a lot better. I'm going back to scrapbooking. Scrapbooking. Yeah. No comments there.

That's right. I'll write a journal. I'm not doing that. That's just too much. No.

Pete, just you seem like a guy who journaling might be good for you. No. Yeah. Write down those thoughts. Get them out on paper.

I ain't got angry today. No. Yeah. No. Thank you.

Dude, you might wanna give it a go, Peaches. How about some you write yourself a positive affirmation. Oh, that's even worse. Not doing them. I'm putting post it notes in a mirror.

I was gonna say something. Beautiful. Yes. I'm a good guy. The mirror.

You do a good job, peaches. Or wait. You probably don't call yourself peaches in the mirror. Brendan, you're a nice fella and you make people laugh every day. Wow.

Yeah. Just stand in front of the mirror and talk yourself up. 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 up at riverbend media group dot com.
