The Viktor Wilt Show

Morning. Welcome to the Viktor Wilt Show, Wednesday edition. Yeah. The the only thing to be said about coming back to work after a 4 day weekend is, boy, it's nice to roll in on a Monday that's actually a wind day. Wednesday.

Wind day. See, I've lost my ability to speak. Well, not too surprising if you're a longtime listener and it's early in the show. Not usually my best work. How was your weekend?

I hope it was amazing. Mine was very, very, very nice. Very nice. The last week has been completely insane for me. Completely insane.

You know, last Monday, had Lou Brutus get into town. That night, out of Craters of the Moon till after midnight, got home, you know, after 2. Ugh. It was brutal. Got myself to bed, wake up, do a full day of work, go to a rock show.

Next day, get up, be here for the morning show, take Lou to the airport. Then we had the fair food tasting on Thursday, mowdown, way too much fair food. And then, Saturday, my girlfriend came to visit and hung out for the weekend, and we had a wonderful, wonderful time. We just did a staycation at my house, watched lots of movies. If you've never seen mother by Darren Aronofsky, I don't know what I was expecting going into this movie, but it was not that.

And it was completely insane. If you're claustrophobic, probably not a movie for you, but it was wild. It was wild. It was a great movie. Watched a lot of Star Wars, even watched Pet Cemetery.

It it was great. Just a wonderful relaxing weekend, but it went by way too fast. And now just a normal week. You know, I I tend to get a little bit anxious when I've got a lot of activities going on, but now I'm kind of like, oh, I, I need some plans. There's nothing on the horizon.

Gotta figure this out. You should always have something to look forward to, even if it's, I don't know. Hey. A a great show is gonna be airing or there's a video game coming out that I'm excited to play or a movie I wanna see. I mean, that's kinda bare minimum, but I'll try to always have something to look forward to.

It, I don't know, helps the day to day grind. So I'm gonna get working on that, figuring out something on the horizon. Yeah. But I hope you had as good of a weekend as me. It truly was wonderful, relaxing.

I got a lot of sleep. I wish I would have got a lot of sleep last night. Could have been worse. So, I mean, I I I did okay. But returning to the work after glorious 4 day weekend like that is rough.

It was rough. Anyway, we're gonna get rolling on the show here. Had a request from JD for some ACDC. We'll fire that up after the break, and we'll we'll see what we can find here. Alright?

We're we're gonna have some fun, I hope. Alright. Let's take a look at a list here of things that people have that they don't realize is a huge flex. Now if you don't know what a flex is, in the words of the little ones, a flex is like, you know, check out my awesome car. Look at this thing.

It's amazing. You know, it's a flex. Check out this cool stuff I've got. Look at this how amazing this is. It's a flex.

Alright. Huge things people have or things people have that they don't realize is a huge flex. Top answer. Good parents. Oh, boy.

Is that the direction this is gonna go? Healthy. You know? You're you're healthy. I I guess it is a flex and it's a pretty huge one if you if you're just doing good.

That's that's about all you can ask for. Right? I have a home. I have a roof over my head. That's a that's a pretty big, flex, really.

There are a lot of people who don't. This is just gonna go dark fast, isn't it? Good parents? That's that's sad. There are people who don't have good parents.

Lots of people. I'm so grateful. I had amazing parents, and I did my best to be a good parent. Still doing my best to be a good parent. Being a parent, it's tough.

You know? It it's a rough work because you you always feel like you're gonna fail. At least if you're me, you know, you rather than remember all the the things you did great at, you remember the things you screwed up. Just beat yourself down mentally to the end of time. Things you could've done better.

I hope that you know, I'm I'm pretty sure my kids think I'm a good parent. I I hope. I mean, I could've been better for sure. I don't think there's anything as any such thing as a perfect parent, but, man, be grateful if you have good parents. Alright.

What else is a huge flex that people don't realize they got? Patience and impulse control. Alright. I'm I'm fairly good at that. I I think I'm pretty patient.

Takes a lot for me to lose my patience. Impulse control, little rougher there. It it depends on what the impulse is. If it's an impulse to start yelling at somebody, pretty good, pretty patient. Other impulses.

Yeah. I'm better than I, was in the past. We'll just say that here. The ability to fall asleep quickly anywhere. I can fall asleep fairly quickly, but I don't know about anywhere.

My bed and my recliner, those two spots. Yeah. Piece of cake. Shouldn't even talk about that right now. Let's see.

Oh, extremely supportive parents. There's a lot of people out there, who don't have good parents, If this keeps popping up over and over again. If you got great parents call them up tell them you love them you know hopefully you get to keep them around for a long time I miss my parents they were awesome let's see here no allergies I I guess that's a flex. That's back to I knew we'd get some, health issues here. Somebody also said, good vision and eyes.

A partner who loves him. That is a huge flex. Yeah. Hopefully, you can find somebody that you're just a perfect match for or as close to perfect as your as possible. Now I'm I'm very lucky in that realm as well.

I've got a smart, amazing, beautiful lady. And, what it is about me, she digs sometimes I wonder, but I'm glad she likes me. What else do we have here? Savings each month instead of digging deeper into a debt hole. Well alright.

Yeah. That that is about as big a flex as it gets in this day and age. I don't know very many people who are building up that wealth right now. You know? Hopefully, we're all just getting by okay, having a good time.

People skills, being able to read a room instantly. I think I've got pretty good people skills. Lack of constant anxiety. I I suppose that is a flex. I'll give you a no good for you if you, don't deal with anxiety ever.

And if you do, just wanna remind you there's there's help out there. You can go talk to somebody. They have medications and things like that. Getting those things checked out is is very important. K?

Please, if you're suffering with any type of, mental struggle, get some help for it. It's nothing to be ashamed of. It'll make you feel better to get that help. Can't stress it enough. Perfect teeth.

Okay. Yeah. That you're you're very lucky if you just have perfect teeth from someone who's had that. My mouth Frankensteined over the years. Alright.

I I don't wanna read about all the great things people have going on anymore. It's a it's a Monday to me even though it's a Wednesday. Too early for that. Don't you forget that this is Kay Bear, and we like to give you cool prizes. Don't forget.

You know, maybe we go little little gaps without cool prizes, but right now, full steam ahead with awesome prizes. Mhmm. How about tickets to see slipknot, knocked loose, and vended? Yeah.

What's up? It's Victor Welt. Hi. I can be kinda dumb, and I've been oblivious to things from time to time in my life. And after I find out some piece of information, just wanna kick myself.

Like, how did I not know that? It's good to know I'm not the only one who goes through these type of situations. Threat on Reddit. What's something obvious for everyone but you only just realized we might all be about to learn something right now. Let's find out what was obvious for everyone else, but not for those leaving their comments here.

Alright. This was a long time ago, but the first time I got my eyes checked, I was in 1st or second grade or something. The optometrist told my mom I'm almost completely blind in one eye. She looks at me and asks why I wouldn't say anything. And I said I thought everyone only had one working eye.

This has gotta be a little bit of a weird one. And I actually have sort of a personal story with this one. I mean, I don't have glasses, but my oldest daughter, I think she must have been in about 1st or second grade as well when all of a sudden we found out she needed glasses and, you know, for a little kid, they don't know how to tell you, hey, when I'm like far away from something it's it's a little blurry or, you know, maybe they try to tell you that and you're, like, well, yeah, you're far away or you don't realize, oh, no. This is an actual problem. You need glasses.

Then you feel like a crappy parent back to what I talked about earlier. How parenting is difficult and you always feel like you're gonna fail. Not knowing my daughter needed glasses, had no way of knowing, but I still felt like a piece of garbage about it. You know? Let's see what else we have here.

I didn't know my mom had a name until 1st grade. The teacher asked us what our mother's name was. Everyone answered but me. I never realized my mom had a name. I went to her straight after school and said, what's your name?

She smiled, stopped cooking, came down to my height, and told me your name. It was a sweet memory, but, man, I felt shame. I didn't know that sooner. Because you know her as mom. Right?

Trying to think back. Did I ever not know what my mom's name was? I don't know. Maybe. I can't remember back, you know, a week ago.

So good luck getting me to remember something from when I'm, you know, a toddler. Let's see. What else do we have here? Things that were obvious to everybody else, but these people had no idea. Another one with the, the vision thing, finding out that lights doing the stretchy thing at night wasn't normal.

That's astigmatism. Let's see here. That you can click don't accept any cookies and websites work just fine. Well, it depends on the website. Right?

Those ones that force you to take the accept all cookies. That's why you always gotta try things first. You know, if the the Internet's trying to dump something on you, get you to install this or that, always say no at first because you never know what you're gonna get. You don't tend to hear about computer viruses as much anymore, but I'm sure they're still a thing. Spyware, this and that.

Nowadays, it tends to be people's Facebook gets hacked. You know, somebody accidentally gives out their password or something like that. Be cautious online. Let's see here. For the longest time, I thought pre Madonna was pre Madonna, like before Madonna was a thing.

When I was teaching, I said something would be ludicrous and the whole class looked at me with interest and surprise. They didn't know Ludacris, the rapper's name was upon. Well, you're gonna be dealing with a little bit of that more and more as time goes on due to the fact that's like oldies now. Oldies rap. Ludacris.

Alright. I'm gonna take an allergy pill. Feeling a little bit scratchy here. Electric call boy on k Bear. Hopefully, that band will announce some US tour dates again soon.

They were fantastic at the depot last year, but I'd like to see them in a little bit bigger venue. Maybe the complex, something like that. They might be a little bit too big for that by the next time they make the rounds, though. So I don't know. We'll see where we get I'm sure they will be back eventually.

And, you should go check them out when you get the chance. Lots and lots of fun. Alright. What what's in the news today? We've got a, I guess, a thin crust pizzeria in New Jersey putting the Cybertruck to the test.

They installed 2 600 degree ovens in the vehicle so they can cook pizza on the go. Alright. They say it's, fast enough to cook a pizza in about 2 minutes. Alright. There you go.

One way to use your Cybertruck if you have one and are trying to figure out a way to make some extra money after spending that amount of money on a vehicle, Sell pizza. Let's see. There's a new weird drink trend that's gone viral. Gatorade and cheap wine. Gator wine.

This created in Florida? Light blue glacier freeze Gatorade and cheap red wine. Doesn't sound very good to me. I don't know. To to each their own, I guess.

I mean, at least you're getting extra electrolytes and they're watering it down a little bit. Right? It's gotta be a slightly healthier healthier way to mow down wine. And Hot Wheels has gotten around to making a model first person car or a person's first car. The not wheels model caught model costs $30 has 2 working tires, yellow spare, a rusted hub, and it doesn't roll.

It has dense rust, cracked windshield, dirty window with wash me written across it, and a seat belt hanging out the door. Now, wait. That could be just anybody's old vehicle right now, not a first vehicle. If I was to actually get myself a car, it would be something like that. Because yeah.

I I would like to have a car for gas mileage purposes. Trucks killing me driving around town, but I can't afford a, like, $400 monthly payment. Alright? I need just a cheap beater. The Knotwheels.

That's what I need. The real life version of the Knotwheels car. Alright. Well, if you wanna get your kids a terrible toy, Knotwheels is out there. Christmas right around the corner.

You're welcome. Had a weird k Bear moment over the weekend. You know, had a staycation at home with my lady, and we watched tons and tons of movies and TV shows, played a bunch of video games. One of the shows we watched, I think 4 episodes or so of was called from. It's on MGM.

Never heard of this show. Was really digging it. Pretty cool. But the weird kay bear moment happened in it where not only is there a character named Victor, there is also a character named Jade, and Jade is a guy. Usually, if you've got a Jade in a movie, tends to be a a lady.

So you had Victor and Jade. And then the part I didn't really like, the Victor character is driven by his, incessant need for cans of peaches. Like, everything he does, he's like, well, you know, I don't wanna get in trouble. Otherwise, they're not gonna give me more peaches. So I didn't really like that Victor was obsessed with peaches, but it was interesting that Victor, peaches, and jade were a thing in this TV show called from, which again was pretty cool.

I'm looking forward to watching more of that, but, yeah, we it was kind of off putting anything about, Victor really likes even if they're just cans of peaches. Yeah. It was weird. Hey. What's up?

It's Victor Welt. Let's take a look and see how out of touch I am with the youth. You know, they got all these weird sayings. We've talked about youth slang somewhat often on this show before. All these weird words that the kids use nowadays.

What's wrong with these kids? I don't know. Let's see if I can pass this quiz from the Associated Press. Alright. Your middle schooler describes his friend as Sigma.

What on earth could that mean? Okay. Hey, dad. This is my friend, Joe. He's Sigma.

Let's see. That could mean either weak, weird, Greek, or an alpha male. Is this a bad thing to call your I mean, they're talking about a friend. Let's go weird. No.

An alpha male, sigma? Wouldn't it just be alpha? Okay. Well, my daughter ever introduces her boyfriend as Sigma. Guess I gotta give her a fair warning.

Get get him out of here. Any dude who would, refer to himself as alpha, that is about as cringe as it gets. You wanna talk about red flags? Okay. Let's see what else we got here.

Your friend is described as a rizzler. Alright. Now we've talked about this one. That means you've got charisma. Right?

If you're a Rizzler, I'd assume you got lots of charisma. Alright. They're giving me the options is always late, likes to steal, is flirty, or is loud. I'm gonna go with flirty. Yes.

Got it right. And that's only because I've specifically been told what riz means. Alright. Your quiz skills are looking skibbity. We've talked about the skibbity toilet.

Now does skibbity mean impressive, bad, awkward, or a joke? I'm guessing a joke. Oh, it just means all those things. It's a trick question. It doesn't mean anything.

Alright. Your favorite snack has just been phantom taxed. What does that mean? Affected by inflation, stolen, dipped in chocolate, or dropped on the floor. I'm gonna guess, affected by inflation.

No. Oh, stolen. That's right. Apparently, if you steal something, yeah, you just initiated the phantom tax on people. Alright.

Now now they're starting to get get harder here. Mogging. A TikToker claims that Chris Evans mogged Chris Pine. Chris Pine, sorry, in a recent red carpet photo. What do they mean?

Mogging. Is that like oh, I guess I could look at the options. Evans looked taller, looked better, looked worse, or dressed with less pizzazz. I'm gonna guess he looked better. Yeah.

You're mogging. You're you're showing, showing yourself off a bit. Okay. Mewing. That's what my cats do.

As you prepare to take a photograph, you start mewing. Meow like a cat is one of the answers. Restructure your face to appear slimmer, smile with your eyes, or frame your face with your hands. What is mewing? Let's see.

Have I seen anybody in any pictures? How do you restructure your face? Suck your cheeks in? I'm gonna go frame your face with your hands. No.

It is restructure your face so you flatten your tongue against the roof of your mouth. Oh, okay. Ohio. A friend described your outfit as so Ohio. I'm gonna guess that's pretty bland.

Cringe, stylish, vintage, or expensive. We're gonna go cringe. Yeah. Alright. Easy guess.

I got 4 out of 7 questions correct, so I guess I'm somewhat in touch with, Jen Alpha. How weird. I'm sure we made stupid words up when I was young too. I just can't think of any. Alright.

Well, I hope I helped you parents out a little bit with understanding the little ones. Probably not, though, because that that's just a sample of some of the strange terms these kids are using nowadays. Well, I did my best to be informative today. We'll be back with freak news. Freak news powered by Greasemonkey voted Idaho's best oil change.

Be careful what you throw away. I don't know if this is a problem in the US, but if it's happening in France, I would assume this could be happening here. Electric toothbrushes and light up sneakers, setting France on fire. It it's apparently the lithium ion batteries in a lot of household goods. People throw them away and then they're getting, I don't know, smashed up at the the dump and next thing you know, fire unleashed.

Just be cautious. I I don't know what you're supposed to do if you need to throw away a lithium ion battery. I'd recommend contacting the dump and be like, hey. I got these batteries. What am I supposed to do with them?

I don't wanna burn anything down. It's kinda like I have some leftover fireworks that I wanna get rid of, but I don't know if you can just chuck unlit fireworks in the garbage. You know? Anybody working for the city wants to call and let me know what you're supposed to do with unused fireworks that you're not going to use. And, no, I don't want the response.

Just light them. I I don't feel like it. You know, 4th July is over. So, yeah, be cautious throwing things away. It could be surprising, the type of items that you think, oh, I could just go chuck that in the pit at the dump, and, no, you could cause a major problem.

Let's not burn the cities to the ground over an old vape or something like that. You know, people are very strange. I I know that's an obvious statement, but, apparently, decorating the inside of your fridge has become a thing. Fridgecaping. Yeah.

You put, like, pictures inside of the fridge or, you know, flowers and decorations and make the inside of your fridge look nice. Why? Why? The purpose of a fridge is to store food and keep it from going bad. Yeah.

There's this article with a a woman here, and she talks about how she got rid of condiments and unsightly cartons for fridge safe decor like picture frames and figurines. She says she feels like she made unintentional rage bait. I'm not raged about it. You wanna decorate the inside of your fridge? Whatever.

Who am I to judge? I got a very, you know, strange way of decorating myself. K? So I guess I should probably be surprised I don't feel like decorating the inside of my fridge after reading this article. But I'm looking at the pictures of these people's immaculate fridges.

This is weird to me. Alright. This is weird. But whatever. Whatever.

Finally, if you're a teacher and you have an unruly student, if you put them in a headlock, you're gonna have a bad time, especially if there's a photo evidence, and then you're like, I didn't do that. Of course, this is Florida. Now she put a 3 year old in a headlock with her feet, and I'm looking at the picture here. Got the she's sitting on a stool, got the kid on the ground with its head between her feet, locked tightly. And, yeah.

The boy was apparently, screaming and his face was turning red. That's not gonna go over well. K? If you have an unruly student, you send them to the office or something like that. K?

Maybe get a hold of the the parents. The leg lock. I I don't think that's part of your average curriculum, but I haven't been in school for a while. So just fair warning, teachers. Kids have phones and take pictures.

You will get busted, and, you'll be arrested like this teacher was. In no kidding news, in leak, Facebook partner brags about listening to your phone's microphone to serve ads for stuff you mention. We know what you're thinking. Is this even legal? Okay.

Is this really the first time that somebody's admitted that phones are listening to what you say and then feeding you ads for it? How many times have we talked about that on this show? Anytime I mention anything, all of my social media platforms start feeding me that stuff. Yep. I start watching the X Files.

All of a sudden, Reddit is just feeding me endless X Files stuff. You know, I talk about wanting a guitar to fill up the blank spot on my shelf. Facebook. Facebook market. Here you go.

Look at all these guitars. Come on. Do you want a guitar? Yeah. I just thought everybody knew this.

And it is kinda weird that nothing's been done about it. You you should have to opt in to having your phone listen to everything you say and do. It was funny. I saw somebody post on Facebook the other day. I don't know.

It was regarding some kind of app or something. You know? Hey. Don't you dare import my contact info into this app. You know?

I don't wanna be tracked. Your phone is tracking you. Alright? Don't worry about what other people are doing with their phones. If you have a phone, it is tracking you.

Everybody knows this. Right? It's tracking you everywhere you go. They the government didn't need to put microchips in us. Alright?

Your phone is keeping track of everything you do, and it's probably listening to everything you say. Wouldn't surprise me if the camera just turns on as well and it's just filming into some type of government database. So, anyway, meta, you know, Facebook has denied it's involved in the active listening program. Okay. Okay.

Well, I know Reddit is, definitely involved unless my Reddit is just psychic. My Reddit Reddit feed is completely psychic and is somehow interconnected with my brain. The only other option is my phone is listening to me. So you gotta love when something is so blatantly obvious yet people will go nope. Not true.

Mark Zuckerberg. Nope. It's like politicians busted red handed doing this and that. I never said that. We we have video of you saying it.

No. I never said that. But, hey, you you hung out with these people all the time. No. I I don't know them.

I don't know anything about this. Okay. Sure. It's amazing with how crazy people are about everything nowadays. The willingness to just accept information and turn a blind eye.

Whatever. Whatever. I'm so glad that it's Wednesday. It feels like Monday. When I wake up tomorrow and it's Thursday, man, that will be extra glorious.

By the way, if you wanna keep things glorious around here, could you pick up your bags of dog poo? I saw multiple articles for some reason recently about people leaving bags of crap on the ground. Yeah. If you're gonna take your dog out for a walk, bring that with you. Alright?

One of the articles I read said or at least kick it off the trail. No. Bring it with you. Okay? Please scoop in the poop.

Last time I headed out to the Palisades Lake Trail, or I guess it's the Palisade Creek Trail, to the Palisades Lakes. I mean, smelly dog turds everywhere. Pick them up. Alright. It's bad enough we have to deal with the horse crap, But, you know, there's something extra just to rank when it comes to to dog poo.

Okay. Oh, what else is going on here? Oh, if you work in a place that serves food, please try to not scratch your butt while working as chef. There's a pub in the UK that got shut down, and one of the specific notes was an instruction that food handlers must not repeatedly touch or scratch their backsides. That's right.

If your butt itches, I don't know. You gotta rub it up against something. Maybe they need to get, I don't know, something to hang on the wall. Like, you you know, you might have seen those grooming things you can put on the corner of a wall for a a dog or cat. Get one of those for the people so they're not grabbing their butts and engaging in repeated bottom scratching.

Yeah. This is something that just, really grosses me out is, restaurants not handling food properly. Like, I've told the story a few times how I saw a waitress right after she was handling cash at a local restaurant, pick up a piece of pie with her hands and put it on a plate. Oh, cash is so disgusting. Anyone who's handled cash knows how gross it is because when you wash your hands after, like, an hour of handling cash in a retail establishment, the the black muck that comes off of your hands when you think of somebody touching your food after they've been handling cash, so gross.

I think handling cash and then touching food is worth worse than scratching your butt and then handling food. Alright? I mean, how dirty could a butt cheek, especially if you're not reaching into your pants? How how bad could it be? Not as bad as cash unless you've been sitting in a pile of manure.

So, anyway yeah. Don't do that, please. Please. Well, this is appropriate to come out of Fire Woman with a story about a fire woman. Well, she's not really into fires.

It's more the firefighters. This woman in Greece repeatedly set fires in the city of Tripoli because she enjoyed watching firefighters and flirting with them. Yeah. She'd just go out, set fires, and then, I guess, wait around for the fire department to show up and just swoon. Oh, look at you boys out here putting out this fire.

Where weren't you out at our last fire? What's going on here? You're not the best way to pick up dudes. Alright? If you're really into firefighters, you just need to move somewhere where fire is a recurring problem.

I mean, if you are into firefighters, Northern California. There you go. Hit up Northern California or, jeez, Canada. The last couple years, Canada just bursts into flames every summer. You wanna find yourself a a hot fireman.

You need to move. I don't know what Greece what they deal with annually as far as fires go, but there are places where you know it's gonna light on fire. It was like, for example, if you were into people who, I don't know, fight hurricanes. I don't know how you fight hurricanes. But you moved to Florida.

Right? If you wanted dudes into hurricanes, Florida's where you wanna go. Dudes into fires and putting them out? Yeah. Anywhere that gets nice and dry in about August and year after year bursts into flames.

So, yeah, you don't wanna end up in jail. You wanna find the man of your dreams. Let's talk about shows. Let's talk about the band Oasis making their return to the live stage. Sorry.

I'm not a big Oasis fan, so I I couldn't really care less. But we've yet again got another incident regarding Ticketmaster ticket price gouging. Little bit of Ticketmaster on sale mayhem with Oasis fans losing their minds at ticket master and their dynamic pricing where the price of tickets due to demand, kinda like surge pricing with Uber and things like that. The ticket price will go up and up and up based on demand for tickets. And, oh, Oasis just can't believe this is happening to their fans.

I know I'm beating a dead horse on this here, but every time I see one of these articles and I see people online going crazy, trashing ticket master in these situations, I want to remind you, artists and their reps sign on and approve dynamic ticket pricing. Oasis was absolutely aware of this. It helps them make more money. They absolutely had to sign on for this, the same as Taylor Swift did back when there was a whole ruckus about her shows. Yes.

Oh, I can't believe this is happening to my fans. Whatever. You signed on for this. You you know what's going on. Stop lying to your fans.

Blink 182 did the same thing. Oh, we don't know what's happening. You signed on for dynamic ticket pricing so you could make a lot of money. And bands, they'll take it even further sometimes. You have all these secondary ticket market websites where scalpers sell tickets.

Trent Reznor talked about it years ago. There are a lot of artists who will put their own tickets on those sites and sell them for crazy amounts of money because they know people will pay for it. It's why I, you know, get into arguments with people online. It's happened recently in sleep token groups and bad omens groups. I'm like, hey.

Stop paying those prices for tickets. If you stop buying them, scalpers will find something new to do to make money, but there are always enough fans that are willing to do anything to see their favorite band, they keep this cycle going by buying those tickets on the secondary market, which is why I always tell you when we're approaching a show, you know, when it's the day before or day of alright. Scalpers are panicking. Today is the day to get your tickets. There's they're willing to take any amount of money at this point.

Stick it to them. Help them lose money. Buy your tickets at the last minute. But, yeah, sorry, Oasis fans. I don't like Ticketmaster.

I don't like all their additional fees. I, you know, work in the music business, and I know the aggravation that, a lot of these major companies in the concert touring business cause even to people just like me. I constantly deal with irritation when it comes to concert promoters. You wouldn't believe it. I'm not gonna get into it.

But it's outrageous, some of the stupid things I deal with. However, they're not the only ones to blame when it comes to ticket pricing. You have to point a finger at the artist as well. There are artists out there who will turn down dynamic ticket pricing, who will not allow reselling of tickets. If all artists stood up, put a foot down, we could stop this, but there's money to be made.

K? There's money to be made and okay. If someone gave you the opportunity to make more money than you would have otherwise doing the exact same thing, what are you gonna do in this day and age? I mean, I'd imagine I'd probably go, well if they're willing to pay a churn. Snipe me up for dynamic ticket pricing.

I I don't know. It's gotta be an awkward spot to be put in because I could use more money. I could use $5. Alright? If I find $5 on the ground like, woo.

$5. It's $5. That's still to me a good chunk of money. I can do a decent amount with $5. $5 is better than $0.

But, yeah, Oasis, you're not fooling me. Alright? And I'm sorry you're fooling your fans, but, oh, the European government's gonna investigate Ticketmaster. Invest investigate the artist too. Alright?

They're the ones who put their stamp of approval on these type of ticket sales. It's ridiculous. But it's easier just for ticket master to sit back and take the beating. They don't care. Sure.

Beat up we've been being beat up on for years decades, and everybody's hated Ticketmaster forever. But if you want real change, yeah, we we have to take a realistic look at why these things are happening, and our favorite artists a lot of a lot of the time are to blame. Alright? Or taking part in the blame for these decisions. It's ridiculous to think they're just clueless.

So, anyway, there you go. What's happening, peaches? Hey. Nothing much. Right on.

Right on. Did I miss anything exciting around here yesterday? No. I found out you're the one picking winners for Friday for Slipknot. How'd you find that out?

Because I got a Friday off. Oh, good for you. Alright. So you didn't find out you took the day off and are passing the work on to me. Well, I thought it was more so like a half day, not the full day off.

Why? Are you going out of town or something? Do you wanna go see Creed Oh. In Salt Lake City. Okay.

Alright. We're arms wide open. That's right. Peach is gonna be in the crowd just crying. Yeah.

Alright. Well, that should be a good time. Yeah. I can draw, Slipknot winners. No problem.

I've done a few drawings in my day. I know how to pick winners for the big Slipknot tour with Noctaloos. Gonna be a good show. Good show. Alright.

Well, that's fun. What'd you do this last weekend, Peaches? Well, I got new patio chairs. Oh, finally. Yeah.

I know you'd been planning on trying to do something for your little patio area, Facebook Marketplace, or did you go to a store? No. Finesse Grocery Outlet. Grocery Outlet had chairs, Yeah. So they had a tent outside over the weekend and it was like the end of summer spring sale, whatever it is.

Oh. And, I looked and those chairs that were out front before could have sworn they were 4999 before. Mhmm. This time they were 29.99. Yes.

Grabbed one of them. None of them had tags on them. Brought it to the brought it to the register. The guy had to call, like, the manager over. The manager goes, oh, it says 29.99 plus 50% off of that.

So it's 15. So Nice. Ended up getting 2 for 5th 2 for 15 each. Now, are those the chairs that, like, recline back? Yeah.

The zero gravity ones? Yeah. Yeah. Because I'm I used to have one of those. It, you know, left my home Yeah.

When when a number of other items did, but I'd like to get one. I wanna Oh, I would've told you. Yeah. Well They might still have a few. I it's not like a need.

You know? I have patio furniture, and the last time I sat on it was, when I had friends over for my birthday a couple months ago. So Yeah. My backyard looks great. It's nice to look out and go, hey.

This would be great for a nice get together. Yeah. Totally. Now I'm gonna go back inside and watch TV. That's how my 2 chairs look.

They look they look nice out here. Alright. Alright. So you can kick back, relax, keep an eye on the, guys mowing the lawn, make sure they're not flinging rocks at your windows. Did you get your window fixed too?

Finally. Yeah. Alright. So Peach is all fixed up. Very nice.

Very nice. Well, I don't have much to report. I watched tons of TV and movies and played a lot of video games and slept in every single day this weekend. On Monday, I went to the fair. Worst decision made.

Worse? Why? It's so many people. It's the fair. What do you expect?

There was way too many. Luckily, we have, you know, the the the pass to get into that first parking lot there. Yeah. But other than that, I just went to the the what's it called? The merchandise square Mhmm.

And got myself some beard balm and beard oil and stuff like that. Very nice. Very nice. Yeah. I would imagine Monday being a holiday would probably be one of the busiest days of the fair.

So, you know, best time to go Is, like, today? Today, early. Yeah. You know, nice and early while the kids are at school, everybody's at work. You know?

It's kinda like going to Walmart on the weekend at, like, 8 AM when they have quiet time. Yeah. It's great. It's great. On Walmart on a on a Saturday is the worst decision to make.

That's why you gotta go at, like, 7, 8 AM. You know, whenever, like, right when they open. I'm telling you, people don't know how to walk anymore either. I've noticed that recently walking around all these different stores. Just people cut me off as I'm trying to walk inside the store.

I think it's just because they're so overcrowded. I mean, I've been saying for years, WinCo needs to build another WinCo in Idaho Falls. They do. I went there on Saturday, and it it was about as busy as I've ever seen it. It was kinda nightmarish being at Winco, Saturday.

And usually, I don't complain too much, but it it was bad. So I don't know what age people turn to where they think it's okay to lean on the cart with their whole weight and then walk as slow as possible. Hey, that's what I do, peaches. That's an old man thing. No.

You don't. I you know, you just gotta do what you can to get by in the the rough task of traversing the grocery store. Oh, yeah. It's so rough. It it's tough, man.

And if you can't do it, then Tough biz. Go do, like, that Walmart pickup or whatever. See, and I would do that, but I don't like people picking out my, fresh produce. You know, if it's packaged, sure. But I like to pick out, you know what?

I'm gonna get some apples. I look at, like, 10,000,000 of them, find the one that doesn't have holes in it or whatever. I can't see you eating apples either. That's funny. Apples are good.

Yeah. I mean, you see me eat bananas. What's the difference between a banana and an apple? They're very different fruits. Yeah.

Yeah. And, apples are a little bit more of a hassle to eat than a banana, but Never been a fan of them. Of apples? Man. Have you tried those cosmic crisp?

No. I haven't. Gotta try one of those, man. I've I've discovered with apples, the type of apple is very important. You know, there's cruddy apples.

Like Granny Smith, not my favorite. Not great. Not great. But Cosmic Crisp, those are top notch, man. Top notch.

If you can get a good Honeycrisp, those are good too. But I think the Cosmic Crisp is better, and it's usually cheaper. Some kinda hybrid apple, Frankenfood. You know? Who who knows what they're what are they putting in the apples?

I don't know, but they make them delicious, so I'm all for it. Alright, Peaches. Well, sounded like a a decent weekend. Did you relax in said chairs? Setting at once, watch the rain.

As I was leaving the fair, thunder and lightning started. Oh. And I saw the Facebook posts popping up of do the rides close down at the fair once lightning starts? And the answer should be yes. Yeah.

Of Like you, you probably don't need to ask. I would assume if it puts you up into the sky and there's nothing else around, you probably go ahead and shut that down in the case of, a bad weather. So Peaches and I are well, I'll be back. I don't know. We're we're doing a show.

Made me nervous when I showed up to work today, Jade. I'd been locked out of the building. Did that on purpose. Nobody likes that in radio after a holiday weekend. No more access.

Everything denied. Uh-oh. What did you do? Hey. I haven't even been at work to cause any trouble.

Guess what? You won't be at work to cause any trouble either. Locked you out. Does that mean I get get to sleep in? If I show up at work and I'm locked out, is that the go home and go back to sleep thing?

Yep. You're just gonna stand outside the door until somebody with a key comes up and let you in. That's what I did. It worked pretty well. It looks very flashy, the, the new panel on the door.

Very high-tech. It's gonna be pretty sweet. Alright. Cool. It's good.

Nerd now it over here. Oh, I like seeing new stuff pop up around here. I'd prefer it in this room, but new stuff around the building, that's that's cool too. I'll I'll get you my list of items that are essential. What do you mean don't care, Jade?

Come on. If it's come from you, don't care. You need to take care It's all about me first. Need to take care of what they call the talent in this building. Oh, what'd you I haven't talked to you since the, show.

You were out camping, since that. What what do you think of the showtime stand? So good. Way fun. Avatar, a lot of fun in this moment.

Great performance there with all of her evil witch stuff. Evil witch. And then, of course, Ice 9 just kills it every time. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

It it was great. That's why they put the kills at the end of their name. Ice 9 kills. Because they kill. Yeah.

Yeah. Actually, and I think they did used to be called just Ice 9 when they were a ska band back in the day. Glad they took the route that they did. Kinda funny. The first time I saw them was at warp tour, and it was before they became the horror themed band.

Their core? Yeah. Horror core. Horror core core. Yeah.

But what whatever they did, man, that that was the right choice. I don't even know if they play any of the old songs anymore. I haven't heard all yeah. No. I I really wanna talk to Spencer at some point and be like, the next song movie that you need to make a song out of needs to be the old Army of Darkness.

I I remember you mentioning that to me at the show. When he has his when he goes back in time and he has his shotgun, this here is my boom stick. It'd be a great lead into a breakdown. Oh, yeah. It'd be fantastic.

Because I I think they do have a song about Evil Dead, but he didn't use the boomstick line Yeah. In Evil Dead 1 or 2, army of darkness. Did you ever watch the Evil Dead TV series that they were making? Nope. Ash versus Evil Dead?

Nope. I never saw any of those. They were pretty fun. Like, the Evil Dead remakes were really brutal and very gory, not funny. Yeah.

I wasn't a fan. Yeah. Ash versus Evil Dead is like the old movies. It's it's very funny and comedy driven. It's like they started those in the eighties and with the thought of making them a real amazing, like, intense horror movie.

And then they started filming it, and they're like, this is so cheesy and dumb. Let's just go all out. Oh, yeah. Let's embrace the cheese, and let's make this just super funny. I rewatched all 3 movies with, with Maddie a while back before she moved because she'd never seen any of them.

Got into my hand and went bad. Like, there's so many good lines. It it's nice when old movies stand up and they, you know, are still good when you go back and watch 1 and it's like, oh, this movie sucks. Yeah. I hate that.

Evil Dead stands up. Over the weekend, I watched the original Pet Sematary, and I thought that stood up pretty well Alright. As well. You know, when you're you're talking eighties horror, it's definitely hit or miss now. The first Friday 13th.

So terrible. Yeah. The movie sucks. Those those Friday 13th movies, man. They get better later on.

Thank you. But the first couple, especially the first one The first one is so terrible. It it's pretty cheesy with Jason's mom. Yeah. The second one wasn't too bad, but, I watched a wild movie this weekend called mother.

It's been out for a long time. I've eyeballed that one a few times and heard all kinds of weird stuff because it's, Shyamalan or whatever is that. It's, Darren Aronofsky, the guy who did Requiem for a Dream. Okay. Shamanon might Shyamalan?

He might have a movie called mother 2. Okay. This is mother with an exclamation point. It has, Jennifer Lawrence from That's the one I was thinking. Okay.

I I didn't know what to expect, and I don't wanna give away anything from this movie. I think it's on Paramount, if I remember right. This movie was wild, man. I've heard a few things. That's why I haven't watched it yet.

Like, the only way to describe it would ruin the movie, so you should definitely check it out. It was not what I expected at all, and it was not what I expected to be as as it went along. The whole time, you're kinda going, what what is happening here? Why? Why is this happening?

And it's, kinda gives you anxiety. I don't know. If you're a all I'll say is if you don't like people, strangers in your house Yeah. I'm K. I don't like people at all.

Dude, it was I barely handle you. Yeah. Yeah. It certainly made me anxious watching it as someone who would not want to be, invaded in the privacy of my home by a bunch of strange people. But I loved that movie.

I thought it was really good, and I it seemed like I had heard it was really disturbing and this and that, and I didn't get that end of things. I it it wasn't like Requiem for a Dream where you walk away, like, feeling gross Yeah. That one's afterward. And I guess there were a couple scenes that were kind kinda brutal, but it was just the overall movie was just crazy. Kinda like that, everything everywhere all at once.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, it that's not a fair comparison because that's a different kind of insane, but it in some ways reminded me of that. 10 minutes of rocks just talking to themselves? No.

10 minutes of rocks just talking to themselves, but there were strange moments throughout where you're like, what is this? Maybe this is a caller who's seen it. They better be on topic. Oh, I I You waited too long. Waited too long.

Usually, if I'm on a topic, I'll wait a few because we don't have caller ID. Speaking of, new gear we need in here, a new phone system would be great, Jade, so I know who's calling me. You know, depending on the break I'm doing. Some callers I know are always calling for requests, but if I don't see their name, you know. Yep.

But, anyway, check out mother. It was really good. Other other than that, I watched a lot a lot of Star Wars over the weekend. It's hard to go wrong with Star Wars. Yeah.

Those first three movies like the prequels, though, they're not very good. They they were, I think, a little bit better than I remembered, but in ways, they were worse than I remembered. Because young Anakin is a he did a terrible acting job, and it's hard to take him seriously with all his boohooing. You know? I don't know.

Not the little kid, the teenager and adult Anakin. What's that kid's name who played him? Whiner. I don't know. Yeah.

Those were not very good, but, I have one left of the final 3, the, you know, 7, 8, 9. Okay. And those the 2 I've watched, I thought they were pretty good. I haven't seen them since they were new. They they were alright Even though they got another emo guy in in the movie being kind of a whiner, throwing a tantrum, things like but he he was more likable than, Anakin, the emo.

Lots of emos in Star Wars. You know? So I'm sure you you can relate. You can watch that movie. I do.

I relate very well. Alright, folks. Holy cow. Show's almost, done. We'll be back with, like, music and maybe I'll talk again.
