The Viktor Wilt Show

Speaker 1: Hi, what's up? It's The Viktor Wilt Show. Good morning. If you are listening to this on demand, well, I had to kind of start over. That's what I had to do.

Okay. It's Thursday morning. Getting one step closer to the weekend.

I don't know how I'm going to transition into this, so let's just do it. Secret cheat codes you've found in real life. Might as well have some of those ready for the weekend, right? Things that'll help you get ahead.

Right out of the gate. Got the internet talking about sleeping properly. Sleeping properly fixes more problems than motivation ever did.

After taking my super nap last night, I gotta say sleep's pretty good. I can definitely feel the difference today compared to every other day this week so far. I was not the best rested Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. Today, I could have slept more. I didn't want to get out of bed. I was sleeping great.

But that's what you have to do to get here and do this show at this time. But I know when I get proper sleep, everything's like a million times better. So one of these days, I'll learn how to force myself to go to bed at the time I should. Or I guess I'll just start taking naps every afternoon at 5 or 6 pm. Sleep until 10 or 11 pm. Stay up for an hour. Go back to bed.

I'll never accomplish anything outside of work. I don't know, it's just impossible to go to bed at 8 or 9 o'clock. I mean, if I needed to do things perfectly, I would be out cold at 9 pm every night. And then I'd probably be in pretty good shape. But it just doesn't tend to happen very often.

Let's see. What other secret cheat codes have people found in life? The best way to connect with people is to show interest in their interests. People love nothing more than talking about their hobbies and passions.

Yeah, that's true. I'd say if somebody's interested in something, you engage with them about that. I mean, you gotta kinda get to know them to find out what those interests are.

But then once you know, continue to show some interest. Sure. All right. Kinda common sense there.

Consistency beats motivation. That one makes me feel a little bit guilty. There's a lot of things that I'd like to do in my spare time. Hobby-wise, that I was doing at one point. And I always felt good when I did them. Even if I wasn't motivated to do them, like online streaming, things like that.

Really gotta get that computer all fixed up. But playing guitar, you know? Yeah, just picking it up for a little bit each day. It doesn't mean you have to be motivated to get crazy on it and play for an hour. Pick it up and play it each day. But you're gonna get a little bit more ahead than just trying to get motivated to do it.

Let's see here. Being hydrated really does make a difference, so drink your water. Probably a pretty good life tip. Drink water.

You wouldn't think that's a difficult one, right? I don't know why, but I have to make a conscious effort, usually, to drink water. I drink plenty of fluids and things like that, but just mowing down water. I don't know what. Maybe I am one of those guys who needs to get one of those giant jugs. The hydro-homie flask, just a giant mug. Usually I fill up my little coffee cup with some water, if anything. And then you're not really getting that much water. So maybe I'll work on that one too, staying hydrated. It should be common sense as well, since you have to do it to stay alive.

But, you know, I'm kinda dumb. Alright, treating everyone with genuine kindness tends to open more doors than any shortcut ever could. Yeah, I recommend being kind to people. Seems like the energy you put out there comes back to you, so, you know, trying not to be a jerk. Like, even if I disagree with someone, I don't ever attack. Like, if you see me get in discussions online, I don't start going, you're an idiot, you suck, you're stupid. Unless, maybe I'm like, leaving a comment on some kind of politicians' pages. No, even then I try to make it funny. Don't just say you suck.

I don't think so, anyway. Get a drawer full of the same socks. Pretty good tip there. The problem is finding the same socks every time you need to buy new socks. I mean, like, I've got a drawer full of black socks. That's, because that's pretty much all I wear is black clothes. But, there's a lot of different kinds of them.

It would make laundry a million times easier if all your socks matched, but it might also be kind of boring to you. I don't know. Let's see here. Walking fast while looking slightly annoyed. Nobody stops you, nobody asks you for help.

It's basically an invisibility cloak. Just remember that when you're at the grocery store. Just walk fast and look annoyed.

Nobody's going to bother you. Alright, let's see here. If you want someone to agree with you or be more open to your idea, nod slightly while you're explaining it. It's a subtle psychological clue that makes the other person mimic your body language and start nodding back. Let's try that on peaches.

Say something I know he totally disagrees with, but, you know, just nod a little bit. See if you like, yeah. Yeah, I agree now. I agree.

Alright, let's see. Putting your phone away during conversations makes you instantly more likeable. Well, that should be common sense because then people think you're actually listening to them. You know, somebody, you're talking to somebody and they just start staring at their phone. You're like, okay, you're not interested in what I have to say, whatever. Let's see here. Everyone repeating the same answers as usual on Reddit.

Be kind and polite, blah, blah, blah. Superfoods are fine, but alternatively, just not eating crap is much better. Well, if you're not eating crap, you're eating foods that are good, right? I mean, I think basically the ultimate tip coming out of here since everyone seems to agree is be kind and treat others the way you would like to be treated. As you learned in all those children's cartoons we used to watch as kids.

Okay, let's see here. What was I going to dive into? I got too many tabs open.

Too many tabs. Oh, I was looking at the list of overrated video games. That was Peach's question of the day yesterday. What's the most overrated video game of all time?

We talked about this a little bit during the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. I threw out a controversial answer and said Minecraft. I just don't get it. I mean, my kids love it. I think it's the most popular video game of all time.

I just couldn't get into it. And you think, alright, back in the day I played The Sims and Sim City. Other games where you build crap?

I don't know. I don't know what it is with Minecraft. Just couldn't get into it, which is probably detrimental to me because a lot of people made it famous on YouTube just playing Minecraft.

You know, gotta play what's popular. Let's see here. Alright, we gotta get into some actual answers. Everyone's just like, sort by controversial. Sort by controversial.

You're not going to see any answers. Alright, Five Nights at Freddy's. Now, playing that in VR, it isn't too bad. The regular version, I don't know. I mean, the popularity of it kind of blows my mind because that's another one of the most popular games of the last decade. But I don't know, I guess it's fun enough for a really basic concept.

This person said Pokemon Go. Now, I remember when that game was very popular, I assume it's still a thing. I'd play it with my kids and it at least got you out walking around, right? There was some kind of addictive quality to it. I think that's why it was so popular. It's a fairly stupid concept as well.

You just walk around and catch Pokemon, virtual Pokemon on your phone. But for some reason, yeah, there was something that got people hooked on it. I remember it for a while there. I was playing it quite a bit with the kids. Undertale.

Alright, this person says it's very good, but the cult around it is completely detached from reality. I don't think that game's overrated. I think it's really good, but I also really love Earthbound. The Mother series from back in the day. So that might be why I really dug Undertale.

It definitely pays tribute to Earthbound. Let's see, a lot of people talking about Pokemon games. Okay, Roblox. I don't know, I've played Roblox with my kids as well. And a lot of the games are really dumb. But I don't know, it's something fun to play if you're playing with people who aren't at your house. I mean, it's way more popular than I would expect it to be, but what else do we got here?

Maybe I do need to sort by controversial, because these are just... It seems like we got a lot of adults talking about games that kids play, like Fortnite. Sure, I don't get it, but it's clearly very popular. I thought it was fun that they put Beavis and Butt Head in it.

Okay, see now we're getting a little bit controversial. Final Fantasy VII. I wonder if that's one of those games that you go back and play now, and it's like, okay, this isn't as good as I remember it. Like when I was a kid, I loved playing 1080 snowboarding on Nintendo 64. I went back and played that a while ago. That game sucks. The controls are garbage.

I mean, it was a terrible game. I couldn't believe we used to play it so much when we were younger. But now they reissued Final Fantasy VII, didn't they? Like they remastered it, and I never played the remastered version. But, yeah, I don't know. I'm probably not going to get around to going back and playing Final Fantasy VII anytime soon.

What else do we got here? This person just says, all third-person dodge roll, hack and slash games. I guess I'm not very good at those kind of games. They're difficult.

You know, talking like Elden Ring and things like that. Oh, this person says, I've never finished a Zelda game, and I've owned four of them. Tough to call a Zelda game overrated. Like this, okay, somebody said Zelda Breath of the Wild.

That game's one of the best games I've ever played. I don't know. I think I got to stick with my hot take on this being Minecraft. Ain't seen Red Dead pop up on here yet. I don't want to see it. Okay, someone said GTA V, whatever. Whatever.

Not overrated. November, GTA VI, hopefully. Remember when they were going to release it in May? Ah, sorry, I don't mean to bum people out this early in the morning. Motionless in white, I believe, is supposed to drop a new song here really soon. Let me take a look here.

I swear I saw an article about that. I don't know, their record label, you know, as is typical of modern times, been cutting staff in recent years. My long time guy at their label, who's one of the best in the biz. Yeah, they let him go, taking a page out of the iHeart radio, iHeart media playbook, and just getting rid of good people for no reason.

So, I don't get the motionless in white updates like I used to. Let's see. That's from back in 2025. It looks like they're supposed to drop a new single called Afraid of the Dark this month, and a new album at some point this year. According to this website, Chris Motionless said that new track arriving on January 28th.

So, pretty stoked on that. They haven't put any new music out for a long time. And hopefully, we'll get some US tour dates announced.

Well, I guess they have a small handful, but nowhere close to here. Wouldn't it be great to see Motionless in White play at like the Portniff Hell Trust Amphitheater, or the Mountain America Center? I think that'd be pretty sweet. Can we get some modern rock or metal shows announced for either of these venues? That would be fantastic.

Tons of tours have been getting announced as of late, but they're all like Salt Lake City, or Boise. It's lame. Lame. And not even a lot in Boise. Boise, you know, getting passed up on tons of tours. Yeah, they've got to be pretty disappointed over there.

Good thing we're close to Salt Lake, you know, and that we're used to having to drive the shows. But, all right, let's see. What is this post from a week ago from Mountain America Center? 2026 Concert Edition, in versus out.

All right, in. Buying the ticket with no plan and figuring it out later. Standing the entire show. Okay, this is just... Okay, what do they not want you to do? Leave early to beat traffic.

Say I'll see them next tour. Low energy crowds. Skipping the openers. Staying home. Recording the entire show. Talking during songs.

Waiting until the last minute. All right, it's just one of these posts. Concert etiquette.

All right. I know that these venues are working on some stuff. I just, you know, wish we had already had at least one awesome show announced. I need to get this in the system, but Lamb of God dropped a new track this morning called Into Oblivion.

I haven't checked it out yet. That's another band that is going to be doing a little bit of touring. Gonna be in Salt Lake on March 28th. What day of the week is that? Seems like last time I checked it was like Friday or Saturday.

March 28th, Saturday night. Yeah. Might have to go. Might have to go see Lamb of God. They're one of the best live bands of all time. Too many shows.

Too many shows, not enough money. All right, people do some stupid things sometimes. Or maybe they just get stuck in a dangerous situation. I was looking at a list of the most dangerous things people have ever done.

And I really tried racking my brain on this. Because I know I've done some dangerous things. Living in Burley. Working in Burley. I still can't believe I was never like robbed working at the shop in Burley. I mean the place got broke into and robbed numerous times. But I never had somebody walk in and be like, get me all the money in the register. Which if you ever worked in Burley, it's got to be something that everyone's afraid of. Who works in any kind of a retail situation.

Anyone with a cash register? I don't know, maybe driving on I-15 during the winter. No, it was I-86. Or perhaps at that point I-84. You know, it changes depending on where you're at. But one night the roads were seemingly fine.

Seemingly fine. Then all of a sudden, black ice. And I was going full speed. The vehicle in front of me started fishtailing. Spun sideways. I took my foot off the gas, did everything I could to go around them. But I went sideways into the borrow pit, the ditch.

Between the roads, the median. Thankfully there was so much snow in there. My car just kind of slid into the snow. And I was amazingly able to just drive out of it. Didn't even roll or anything. But it was terrifying.

Thought here it is, I'm dead. Let's see, what are the most dangerous things people online are saying they've done? Oh, being a firefighter. Shout out to all our firefighters. Yeah, no way I could handle that kind of job.

I've talked to firefighters. Terrifying. This guy said he was in a laundromat that was on fire and a ceiling full of dryer vents collapsed on him. Imagine being covered in red hot springs and burning wood.

That was pretty concerning for a while. Lucky I had a good crew. Oh! What's the most dangerous thing that could happen to me sitting in this box here? I mean, I guess some piece of equipment could blow up. Battery explodes or something. I don't know, the building catches on fire. Then I got to call this guy, the firefighter. I got an easy exit though. I could bust through the window, at least I think.

I don't know what kind of windows these are. I got chairs and lots of stuff to try to break them though. Sorry to the boss man on the lights we have in here for shooting video. Make a good bat to smash the window out in case of fire.

Yeah, firefighting, that'd be frightening. This person says, working in an Arby's late at night, a guy walked in and stuck a handgun in my face. I giggled, he giggled? Says I giggled and said hold up, let me get the manager.

I was 14 at the time. Again, working a cash register. That can be a dangerous job. Anywhere where you're working by yourself, it's concerning.

It kind of freaks me out a little bit. Let's see here, they flipped while white water rafting and their head got stuck under a rock under the water because of the helmet. Dad eventually grabbed my legs and pulled me out.

My life flashed before my eyes and I almost drowned. That's making me uncomfortable to think about. I mean, I've stood on the edge of the Grand Canyon. That's dangerous. Like, one wrong gust of wind.

And it is gusty on the Canyon Rim. You're dead. That's pretty dangerous. Tons of people do it though.

I recommend standing where they have the railing. It's terrifying. You know, I got that book, Death and Grand Canyon.

I've talked about it many times on this show. But see, this person says, night jump with the 82nd Airborne. Parachute didn't deploy. Free falling for what felt like forever. Not knowing how my body was positioned to pull my emergency cord. Pulled the emergency cord. It became tangled a bit but was able to rustle myself free before hitting the ground.

Two ruptured discs, nerve damage in my knee, ankle's hip, concussion, and a dislocated shoulder. You ever watched anything about that guy, D.B. Cooper, who held up an airplane and then jumped out into the Oregon wilderness in the middle of a storm? That guy had to die, right?

I don't know. I wouldn't want to jump out of a plane on the clearest day. Sorry. Skydiving.

It's just a little bit unnerving to me. This person was scuba diving and went inside of a shipwreck with less than a quarter of their air supply. Ended up running out of air. Luckily, had someone with him was able to buddy breathe as they call it.

Use the other guys, air mask. And then they almost drained the other guys' tank because if you're scuba diving, you have to go up slow or you'll just die. Scuba diving another one. Chased a tornado in an 87 forward escort. I don't think I'd go tornado chasing.

I'm a real wuss. I don't think I'd do any of this stuff. People make some crazy decisions, for sure. I complain about Facebook a lot because of its functionality. Doesn't seem to work very good a lot of times. Thankfully, I've never accidentally sent the wrong message to somebody on Facebook.

It's almost happened. Like, I'll be typing to my wife and for some reason if somebody else sends me a message, if I'm doing this on the computer, it'll sometimes just make me start typing in the other window. And it's like, what a piece of junk. I don't want to send them this message. But generally, I'm paying attention. Didn't send somebody something like, you know, nice and tame.

I love you. Could be awkward. Or worse. But there's a thread on Reddit where people are asking what's the worst thing you accidentally texted to the wrong person. And of course, many of these, I can't read them to you.

But they are pretty funny. Because can you imagine you're trying to text your significant other. Maybe you're being a bit naughty and you text, you know, your mom.

Or something like that. Yeah, I mean, there was a lot of that kind of stuff going on here where somebody like accidentally texted their mother-in-law when they meant to text their husband or like teenagers who are fighting with their parents and go to text their sibling and, Oh, your mom is brother. And they accidentally texted their mom the message.

That'd be a bad day. I'm going to let you try to figure this one out without saying it. Another good reason to not do voice to text. You know, make sure you type it out and make sure that, you know, the auto correct doesn't do something crazy.

This person texted an employee. Did you get your PC started up? And it, it changed PC to something else. They profusely apologized. Luckily, they explained what happened and the employee understood that. That seemed like an HR issue.

Get you fired. Yeah. Just be careful. Always pay attention to what you're doing because, I mean, you could really create some real problems in your personal life or between you and your family. Oh, man.

Make sure you're in the right group chat. Yeah. That makes me nervous because everybody does it at some point. And I'm like, I'm pretty sure I never have, but yeah. Sorry to my family if you get some kind of crazy message one of these days.

Hope you'll understand. At some point last night while I was taking my power nap of doom that went on for like five hours, Peach has texted me a picture of two really hideous looking people on the billboard. I believe this would be the one over near Culver's on Pankary in Idaho Falls. Those two hideous people are me and Peach's. It's the billboard for the noon hour of madness and mayhem.

That's pretty cool. It's the first time the company's put my stupid face on a billboard. I don't know what was up with, you know, the over a decade of success of this program and the lack of Victor Wilt billboard. I guess this isn't a billboard for my morning show though.

So at least my stupid face is on there. So you might see that driving down I-15. You might see that on Pankary in Idaho Falls. I think me and Peach is on a billboard is freak news worthy. Not a lot of freak news today. This week has totally sucked when it comes to quality news for a radio show that just for the most part tries to keep it fun.

Like, I mean, look at this. How much one parent needs to earn so the other can stay home in every U.S. state. Probably more than most of us make. Yeah, Idaho, $82,139. Yeah, you want to have a stay at home family member.

One parent needs to make at least that much. Good luck. Where do you get? Okay, West Virginia is the cheapest at $68,000. There ain't nobody staying home.

No single parent stuff anymore. And who wants to live in West Virginia or Arkansas? Where's the worst place? It's got to be like New York, right? New York, $92,000. Washington state, $90,000. California, $97,000.

Okay, Hawaii, I think. Taking home the gold here with $102,000. Wouldn't that be nice to make $102,000 a year? That'd be great. Okay, let's close that depressing crap.

Let's see here. American dad wakes up speaking fluent Spanish after every surgery. Okay, so this guy, Stephen Chase, has revealed that after every surgery, he wakes up speaking fluent Spanish. Even though he has a low level of the language, low level knowledge of the language. He's a guy from Utah.

And then it just kind of goes away after a little bit of time. He just can speak fluent Spanish just for a little bit. The brain is weird. The brain is a very weird thing. Wish I could just wake up and know something new. I just wake up and I'm like, I want to go back to bed. Wake up and go, oh, I hate that stupid alarm clock. Well, congrats, Stephen.

All right, let's see. Got some more animals fighting back. A single elephant is suspected to have killed as many as 13 people in just a week in an Indian jungle. I guess they've got quite the man versus elephant conflict going on in Jarkin State. Yeah, it's just rolling around attacking people.

Yeah. I mean, if you live in an area where there are giant beasts, you should move or at least try to stay away from them. It's like, you know, if you're out where the bison roam, you don't go near them. They'll mess you up, fool. If you're in hippo country, just get. I mean, even alligators, they're pretty much dinosaurs.

Living in Florida or Louisiana, I tell you. I played enough Red Dead to know the woods, no matter what kind of woods they are, swamp, whatever. There to be avoided. All right, round here we got bears.

They don't generally mess people up, but they do sometimes. Grizzlies attack people. Probably got some grizzly attacks coming soon.

Seems to be that time of year. Well, let's just search for Grizzly Attack. You know, let's go to the news and see what we got going on for recent grizzly attacks. Well, a month ago, nearly a dozen mauled by Grizzly during British Columbia field trip.

Oh, geez. Kids out on a field trip for school. All right, let's go for a hike. These were fourth and fifth graders.

Geez. Yeah, they had bear spray. One person emptied two cans of bear spray with little effect. Lapt onto the animal and punched it. And then a third beat the grizzly with her crutches until it retreated.

And thankfully it looks like everybody lived. These were children. Not a good area to take kids on a field trip if it's grizzly country. I guess they do take scouts and stuff up hiking the Palisades Creek Trail. Well, that's grizzly country.

Now be careful out there people, okay? The animals are really fed up with people. Starting to fight back. Good morning peaches, how's it going? Good morning. You seem all excited and chipper today. Peaches in a good mood. Oh boy, what's happening? I get to go home.

Speaker 2: You get to that doctor's son. I'm going home. That's right.

Speaker 1: Go home peaches. Get. Go home. All right, that's cool. How long are you going to be gone again?

Speaker 2: A whole week. I'll be back on Friday the 23rd, but I'm not in studio till Monday the 26th.

Speaker 1: All right, I don't have to see a dumb face for a long time.

Speaker 2: I'm excited too. Very nice. I can work on clocks till the end of time. Jaden Josh should have waited to do that whole light thing when I'm not here.

Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Oh, it must not be working, huh? I thought they fixed it. It is on. It's on. Okay, I guess it maybe it's just not as bright as it used to be or something. I don't know. Well, I feel like we all if anybody's wondering what we're talking about, there's a light outside of the door of the studio that says on air that turns on when you're talking. So, you know, people don't come in and bother you. And yeah, it wasn't working for a while.

Speaker 2: Jaden Josh were doing that the entire time. The show was going on yesterday.

Speaker 1: Oh, okay. But I thought they had gotten it working while we were. No, I guess they didn't get it working during the noon hour because we were just screaming and yelling at them. And I was saying I was going to push Jaden over on the ladder and all that good stuff. Now, fun noon hour yesterday. So Peach is going home. Are you going on the hood life tour? I should. You should. Yeah. You know, we've talked about it many times.

Speaker 2: I want to see where Tupac got shot.

Speaker 1: That's I. Well, that was in Vegas, right? Oh, I think I'm pretty sure. Let's search up the hood life tour. I'll tell you where you get to go. You can go to LAhoodlifetours.com. Peaches, if you want to pick your tickets.

Speaker 2: I love it. They get free plugs all the time on the show.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that there's no tourism company that has gotten more plugs than the LA Hood Life Tours.

Speaker 2: So let's see here. Take the TMZ tour just for the fun of it.

Speaker 1: I mean, Peaches, the Hood Life Tour has won Trip Advisors Traveler Choice Awards. For the last three years run.

Speaker 2: Could you imagine that you're some guy coming in from Europe? You're you're you're thinking LA is this great place. And then you look at the best tours in the area and you see Hood Life Tour. Yeah. And pointing out the dumps of Los Angeles.

Speaker 1: Dude, for 75 bucks. I mean, this is 75 dollars. Seventy five dollars. It's a three and a half Hood Life Hip Hop Tour featuring world famous hood life, hip hop locations like South Central.

Speaker 2: And that's for one person. Seventy five dollars. Yes.

Speaker 1: Yuck. It says from seventy five dollars. Oh, even worse. Yeah. So I don't know, you know, what it takes for it to cost more. But you get to go to South Central, Compton, Watts, Baldwin Hills, Crenshaw, the Marathon Store, the Watts Towers, the Projects, the Friday House and much more. And the tour takes place in a discreet blacked out bulletproof van or SUV.

Yeah. And they have other tours as well, peaches. That's just the world famous Hood Life Tour. You can also do the Hood Life and Hollywood tour package deal or the celebrity home tour. If you just want to be.

Speaker 2: Have you taken a celebrity home tour?

Speaker 1: No. No, I drove around Beverly Hills one time just to drive through there.

Speaker 2: But it's stupid. A celebrity home tour for those that haven't been even close to LA. You just stare at the front bushes of famous people's houses.

Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't because they're all hit. Yeah, they're all hidden. There's a giant driveway for the most part. There's like a security presence. If you go to like the real famous people's houses. Yeah. Yeah. I driving through Beverly Hills.

I was surprised you could not really see the homes. So, yeah. But the Hood Life tour that that is one of the top rated tours in Los Angeles. So it must be must be pretty fun. It seemed like the last time I read about this, they said that they like you drive around and drink 40s while you're in the van. Oh, even better. But they they seem to I don't know. I'm not seeing that as one of the selling points.

Speaker 2: I think the people in the hood would find that kind of, I don't know, offensive. Well, you're just in a you're in their neighborhood and it's called the Hood Life tour and you're in a bulletproof van drinking 40s.

Speaker 1: Maybe the city was like you guys can't drive around and drink 40s anymore.

Speaker 2: Let's open container. Yeah.

Speaker 1: If you have anything, I don't know, because like here in Idaho, say if you're in the back, the back of a motor home, if you're not in the drivers area, then you you can go ahead and have yourself a beer. But if you're just in a van in LA, it seems like that would be against the rules.

Speaker 2: So then you ask the tour guide how many times has this been shot at in order for you guys to make these vans bulletproof?

Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. You know, if you have to have a bulletproof van to go on the tour, that that is kind of iffy here. And now they said it was a blacked out discreet van.

But I'm looking at a picture here. Is it like an escalade? Come around and look at it.

It's like it's a bus with open sides and it's got pictures of like Dr. Dre. Oh, I think it was. That is not discreet at all. So and it certainly doesn't look like it's bulletproof.

Speaker 2: I don't see any picture to see the worst neighborhoods in Los Angeles. And we have pictures of your idols on the side of our bus. Look, there's Ice Cube, Dr. Dre.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not seeing I'm in the photo gallery here. And I'm not seeing pictures of people holding forties like back in the day when I was there.

Speaker 2: They're holding water bottles, a happy family all holding a brown bag.

Speaker 1: So all right, well, you'll you'll have to give us the full update when you get back on what tourist activities you engage in while at home.

Speaker 2: Maybe they switch over to Swisher's Suit.

Speaker 1: Yeah, buy yourself a nice swisher. Oh, yeah. Anyway, that's one of the many things you can do in sunny Los Angeles. You can go down to Hollywood Boulevard, super sketch. Hollywood Boulevard, the first time I went there, it cracked me up, man, because they make it look so glamorous in the movies.

Speaker 2: But then you see cracked out Elmo cracked out.

Speaker 1: Elmo, my friend, Matt, lives on Hollywood Boulevard right by the Magic Castle. OK. And so we'll walk down to CVS sometimes or go wherever on Hollywood Boulevard. And there's a guy that I can tell he just works out vigorously. And he's a tall, tall guy wears a bull's uniform. He pretends he's Michael Jordan. OK. And people take pictures with him. He must make a fortune. Apparently he lives right by Matt.

Speaker 2: And you'll see him like take off the bull's uniform somewhere and then come back regularly clothed and go back to his apartment. I wonder how much that guy makes for pretending to be Michael Jordan.

Speaker 1: Well, what you should do, Peach, is you should get yourself like the one strap leotard and pretend to be the big show. Get people to take pictures with you and then see how much money you can actually make.

Speaker 2: I go, well, that's a good one. And exactly make some bank.

Speaker 1: New from Lamb of God into oblivion. You can catch them again in March in Salt Lake City. They all they always put on an awesome show. Highly recommended. You know, if you are out on vacation or trying out a new restaurant, even in town, you should always take advice from your server when it comes to things you're ordering.

Was looking through a post where people were asked, what's your it's my fault for ordering it food or otherwise story. And right out of the gate. Got a story that reminded me of something that happened to my friend, Nick, who went to college in Thailand for a bit. This guy said he was a drunk and American sailor in Thailand. Went to a nice restaurant when he ordered the waiter very politely said, the dish was too spicy for Americans. The guy is like, no, listen, I really like spicy food.

It's fine. And the waiter's like, no, come on. It's too spicy for Americans.

Guys like, no, no, I'm a drunk and sailor. No, it's fine. So he said it was way too spicy. And I ate every last bit in agony.

So he wouldn't know he was right and I was wrong. Yeah, my Nick, my friend Nick told me about, you know, real Thailand level spice in food. Like, I guess if you go to a lot of Thai restaurants, you can be like, make it Thai spicy and it will just scorch you. I myself, I like spicy food. But when somebody tells me, like, dude, it's going to be too spicy. I tend to just trust them because I've tried some very spicy things before and regretted it.

And, you know, you don't want to have to waste your meal. This guy said I'd read that Mexican food in Germany was terrible. But after two weeks in the country, I was craving something closer to the food I ate at home. So I ordered a burrito in Cologne. It had carrots in it. Carrots in a burrito. Oh, I mean, I could think of worse things, I guess, but that just sounds weird. And then this other guy says he ordered enchiladas in Poland and it was a hoagie full filled with a melted slice of American cheese and had chunky ketchup on top.

That sounds pretty good. No, I don't know about chunky ketchup. Ketchup's not supposed to be chunky. But, you know, that's kind of like a grilled cheese with tomato soup. Right.

Let's see. Someone says they ordered extra extra spicy ramen to prove a point and spent the night sweating, sweating, hiccuping and negotiating peace terms with their toilet. Yeah, I know a lot of people who are like, I could eat spicy anything. Yeah, until they try some of the hot sauces we've tried on the noon hour. Oh, we've eaten some horribly, horribly hot things.

Makes my chest hurt to even think about it. OK, this guy got adventurous and ordered liver. Don't ever do that, OK? Now, there are people out there who like liver.

Don't believe them, OK? Just you don't need to get crazy and try new things sometimes. I tried liver one time. And it was one of the most disgusting things I've ever eaten. The texture of it.

If I don't even know how you describe the texture of liver, but. Yeah. All right.

Yeah, no. A person went to a restaurant had the all of these seem to be about hot food. Had the you must sign a waiver to eat these hot wings. Do not recommend. Yeah, if there's a waiver for the food, just don't do it.

You don't need to impress anybody. Let's see. This person says a mac and cheese taco. So that doesn't sound terrible.

Let's see. It came with craft mac and cheese in a hard shell, topped with purple cabbage and feta cheese with little American flags planted in it. It was terrible, but 100 percent my fault for being there and ordering it. That doesn't sound like it would be the worst thing ever. OK, go order some liver.

All right. Then come back at me with the mac and cheese in a taco shell is is that bad. OK, this person said Russian hot chocolate. They said I love hot chocolate. So I was like, oh, right. When it arrived, the fumes nearly knocked me out.

Turns out Russian hot chocolate is like one fourth hot chocolate and three fourth vodka. Probably should have been obvious before I ordered it. Not sure what I expected.

I probably shouldn't have even read that on there. It's a winter time here. There's I know I got at least one listener who's like, we're making Russian hot chocolate this weekend. Yeah. OK, I'm not even going to say what that next one is. That's disturbing. You know, you can order some weird stuff in other places. Let's see.

Wasabi taco. All right. The guy's like, no, you don't want it. This was in Japan. Japanese waiters like, no, dude, you don't you don't want wasabi taco. He imagined it would be deep fried octopus with spicy mayo or something. Oh, this is gross. Brought out a small bowl with chunks of raw octopus swimming in wasabi flavored this viscous.

Is that how you say that word? He said it's a liquid that was basically like snot. The guy's like, yeah, I didn't eat it. Again. If the waiter says you don't want that. Take their word for it.

OK, you don't need to try to impress anybody. Might not end well. Gross, grody. I'm really glad that I don't have any annoying neighbors. I mean, I'm sure some of you might. Sorry. And if I'm an annoying neighbor, any of my neighbors listening from time to time, I'm sorry. I try to not make too much noise. Sometimes that home stereo system, I've just got to crank it up.

It's so satisfying. But I don't generally get complaints from my neighbors. This guy that I was reading about. Oh, what an irritation. So this person lives in a small apartment building with six units. They're on the top floor. They've got a bit of insomnia.

So it takes them a while to get to sleep. And I guess the guy who lives directly below this person gets up every morning at 7 30, fires up his motorcycle and just sits there and revs it. Just and he's been doing it for months, like every day. And she's never said anything to him before. But I guess she finally snapped. And she goes out there, looks down at him from her balcony. And she's like, hey, any chance you could not do that right outside my bedroom window every day at 7 30 in the morning. And the guy just stares at her and then doesn't say anything. And he wasn't even like.

Going anywhere. He was just standing next to the motorcycle. Like, I don't know if he's in pajamas or what. She said he wasn't wearing his, you know, riding gear.

He's just standing on the side of it, just revving it up. And so she doesn't really know what to do. She's like, should I have said anything to him?

I don't feel like I was rude or aggressive. OK, she lives on the top floor. All right, if you've got a neighbor who irritates you at 7 30 a.m. every day and you're up late, you could definitely irritate him back. And then it got me wondering, OK, well, maybe the fact that she's up all night. I don't know if she's clumping around, you know, doing laps around the house to try to deal with the insomnia. She doesn't say. Maybe she's the problem.

We don't know. Oh, I'm just so glad that I don't have neighbors above or below me for sure. You know, every once in a while, my wife will get a little bit of insomnia and she'll crank up some music or the TV. But I'm a really heavy sleeper. I'm lucky so I can sleep through most anything. So I have out to earplugs.

I don't know. There's got to be a solution, but the guy should have said something. I mean, I would understand if he was going to take it somewhere.

Like maybe he needs to warm it up a bit. I don't ride a motorcycle, so I don't know. I know it's satisfying to have a motorcycle, but. I think she should just fire back, figure out something real annoying she can do. Get some cowboy boots, turn on some country music and just stomp.

You know, just do the stomp. Yeah. Ah, makes me happy.

Makes me happy that I've got such a nice, cozy sleeping experience. Experience. Sorry if I'm rubbing it in. Well, I was supposed to talk a few minutes ago, but I got chatting with Josh and Chantel from Classy 97. They just were going around asking everybody, what's your favorite cowboy movie? And they're like, you can't say Red Dead.

And I was like, well, that's not a movie. So I wouldn't say Red Dead, but then it got me thinking about Westerns. And I'm like, what is my favorite Western and Dana? Back Mountain. I haven't actually seen that movie. It shows up usually on the list of best Westerns. Oh, no, it's a popular movie.

Speaker 2: I have. I wish I knew how to quit you on Alt 101.

Speaker 1: Very nice. Very nice. Yeah. Have you seen that movie? No. No. What are you afraid of it peaches? Yeah, it's about cowboys in love. I'm going in chronological order. Oh, you're going to start with the oldest Westerns and then move forward.

Speaker 2: I just watched for the first time, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Speaker 1: That's not a cowboy movie. I guess some what he's wearing a hat.

Speaker 2: That doesn't make it a cowboy movie. Regular movies. I'm not saying like I'm specifically going after Westerns.

Speaker 1: Well, we're talking Westerns right now, peaches.

Speaker 2: My favorite Western. Nobody asked me ever. Chantel is asking everybody in the hallway. What's your favorite Western? Didn't ask me.

Speaker 1: No, well, what is it? The searchers. The searchers. I actually saw that on a list. I was looking at a few minutes ago, but I don't think I've seen it. It's an older movie, right?

Speaker 2: Yeah, it's where John Wayne is like, hey, kid, you know how to swim? No. And he picks them up and throws them in the water. You're going to learn how.

Speaker 1: Yeah, it took me a minute to like. And I'm sure I forgot some of my favorite cowboy movies. I forgot to mention to them one that just this second popped in my head, which is definitely a cowboy movie. Cannibal, the musical. It's a cowboy movie. Holy cow. How did I not think of that? That's ridiculous. But have you seen the newer version of the true grit?

Speaker 2: No, I haven't seen either the old or the new.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I the old one was my dad's favorite movie. And I think I must have watched it with him as a kid. But I did watch the remake and it was really, really good. That one stuck out in my mind.

Speaker 2: I was scrolling YouTube shorts and somebody spoiled the ending for me of the Ballad of Buster Scruggs.

Speaker 1: That's a really good Western, too.

Speaker 2: It's like a bulls. I recognize that's why I watched them. I was the guy that's the camp counselor.

Speaker 1: That movie is worth watching, even if you've seen some parts spoiled online because it's like multiple little stories. So it sort of tied together. It's really good. Oh, another one that popped up in my head was Django Unchained. Yeah, great. That's a great cowboy movie. No country for old men, a modern Western.

Speaker 2: You kind of look like that guy. I don't. Which one? Javier Bardem's character.

Speaker 1: I don't look like him at all. If you put that wig on, you kind of look like him. I don't think. Shame to go T. I don't think I look. It details. I don't think I look anything like Javier Bardem.

All right, that's absurd. You just want to see me put on that dumb hair. That's the only part about that movie that throws me off is like, why is that what his haircut is? You can tell him that Javier Bardem or the actual guy in the movie. Either one.

So they are stupid hair, bro. Come on. I thought I had seen a lot of Westerns till I started looking through a list of the top 100 Westerns of all time. One of my favorites was toward the top of the list. And that was once upon a time in the West.

Speaker 2: I got to put a side by side of you and that character.

Speaker 1: Yeah, people are going to be like, what are you talking about? Peach, I mean, Javier Bardem, he's like he's darker, complexed than me. He's got like a real manly face.

Speaker 2: Well, thank you. Boys to a real manly voice. Heads or tails.

Speaker 1: Excuse me. They've got at the top of this list, Johnny Guitar from 1954. That's my outlaw country. Now they must have filmed that like in that looks like Sedona in the background. What was this film? Hang on. I'm just curious. I bet listeners love this conversation.

Speaker 2: We're talking Westerns, everybody. Hey, if you want to call in, talk about your favorite Westerns, might as well, 208-535-1015.

Speaker 1: It was filmed in Sedona. Look at me. I know my geography. I do know my geography.

Speaker 2: I'm going to have to watch. You're just an Arizona expert at this point. That's right. That's right. Now I got to see Johnny Guitar. I'm going to tell my I'm going to tell the voice guy to say Victor Welth, the geography expert.

Speaker 1: It's hard to not recognize the red rocks of Sedona. Oh, you know, they're they're very distinctive. Johnny Guitar. I like the name of it, too. Wow. I know what I'm. Can you imagine? I get, you know, hanging out with Becca and her daughter tonight. And I'm like, we're going to watch the 1954 classic Johnny Guitar.

Speaker 2: Was there any other time until you pull out the hat and the the hobby horse?

Speaker 1: And you start writing. Like, you remember when you're a kid and your parents would want to watch movies from when they were kids and you're like, oh, these movies are awful. As I've gotten older, I have I can have an appreciation for old movies.

But I used to like my mom would always want to throw on. It's a wonderful life at Christmas time. Great movie. It's it's it's OK now. But when I was a kid, I'm like, this movie sucks. Can we watch Gremlins or something fun? Aubrey's brother home alone.

Speaker 2: Aubrey's brother is like Indiana Jones was boring. What we watched him like this is not boring at all. This is actually rather fun.

Speaker 1: Did 80s movies are a blast. Yeah, like all the Indiana Jones movies are fun because they're ridiculous. Even the newer ones like the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull when a nuclear bomb goes off and he survives it by hiding in a refrigerator. It's like ridiculous.

Speaker 2: We saw that in theaters. Me and my dad.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's a stupid movie, but it you know, the other in it. Yeah, that's right. And didn't they make a newer one too?

Speaker 2: I thought they were trying to make Chris Pratt, Indiana Jones. And then Harris Ford's like, nobody's replacing my role.

Speaker 1: I'm the only Indiana Jones. Yeah, I thought they made a newer Indiana Jones movie. We'll see his skull. Is this one of the the, you know, one of those what do they call it, where you falsely remember history?

Speaker 2: The deja vu. Not Mandela. Mandela effect. Yeah. OK, Sinbad and that genie movie.

Speaker 1: No, Indiana Jones and the dial of destiny. It came out two years ago. Oh, boy. Yeah.

Speaker 2: There's no running scenes. Harrison Ford.

Speaker 1: That would be funny if they just had him on a walker. Going across the street. And he was still able to play Han Solo at a pretty old age. But he was. But he was playing old Han Solo. I would assume he was playing old Indiana Jones. He's not like swinging the whip and wrapping it around, you know, vine and swinging across a chasm.

Speaker 2: Well, with the power of technology, you can. Yeah, you can certainly, you know, do whatever. I mean, wasn't there at the ending of that one Star Wars prequel movie where all of a sudden it shows young Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia? Yeah, they somehow got her in it. Didn't Peter and she wasn't even alive at the time. No, didn't Peter. Peter, may you die before that other Star Wars?

Speaker 1: I think so. And I think like somebody was like his family was suing him or something for using his likeness. Oh, I seem to remember seeing an article about that a few months ago.

Speaker 2: So they wanted me to play the role, but they didn't want to have Chubac. I have a weight game problem. They're like, wow, I got fat.

Speaker 1: Hey, two is old. You know, he's retired. That's Santa. He's just sitting around eating, you know, what else is there?

Speaker 2: They're eating good on that planet. What's that planet they live on? I keep thinking. Yeah, what's the planet? Like it's because I know there's Hoth tattooing. I'm trying to figure out the ball is it it's not Baldo or that's a different thing.

Speaker 1: I don't know what. But there's a wookie planet. Yeah. But I don't think Chewie lived on the wookie planet. He lived with everybody else. You know, he he he left his people because she because she has three wives. OK, yeah, I don't think that's where Chewbacca lived. I think he hung out with Han Solo. Look at the capital. Let's see my old man eyes. Oh, the capital is. It's in Chewbacca language. All right.

Speaker 2: Yeah. Have fun.

Speaker 1: It's about Westerns. Then we go to Star Wars. Star Wars considered a Western. There's guns. I think Star Wars is kind of considered a Western because it follows follows the traditional Western standards. Who shot first is Star Wars a Western?

That's actually Google filled it in for me. It's been asked before. Let me get my Star Wars music up here if we're going to talk Star Wars. It's not strictly a Western, but it's called a space Western.

Speaker 2: I guess I'm looking for somebody. Oh, yeah. What for?

Speaker 1: I mean, there are some Western type landscapes and things like that. Tatooine's entirely desert. You know, you got shootouts. Pew, pew.

Speaker 2: Great impersonation. You got the one old cowboy Yoda. You got the evil guy Darth Vader.

Speaker 1: I mean, Darth Vader kind of wearing a space cowboy hat. It's cowboy hat ish.

Speaker 2: Even the soldiers in that one ship in the very beginning of episode four. They're wearing like those like almost like rice hats, you know, the giant hats.

Speaker 1: Yeah, it says it says supposed to be a space Western.

Speaker 2: So does that make space balls?

Speaker 1: A Western here's an article that says the best modern Western is Star Wars. OK, there we go. Perfect. And then they photoshopped a picture of Han Solo wearing a cowboy hat.

Speaker 2: They just took a picture of Indiana Jones.

Speaker 1: All right, they says here's four reasons Star Wars is a Western. This the setting. So it has heroes galloping through vast desert like spaces, not unlike the Old West. You got the gunslingers, the Jedi's, you know, they're basically the gunslingers. Sure. Um, let's see here. You know, you got the bars where people hang out and, you know, the Han Solo who shot first type situation. That's what I mentioned.

Yeah. And then wouldn't be a Western without some revenge. Luke, you know, setting out to, you know, take out whoever killed his family. Kill my dog. I'm gonna get him. Was that from again? So I guess John Wick's a Western too.

Speaker 2: Oh, I was gonna say, is that John Wick?

Speaker 1: All right. Ah, let's see here. Just like a good old gunslinger. God's Mac, I stand alone.

Speaker 2: You should have played like a laws and outsiders.

Speaker 1: We haven't heard that in a while. We should play Cowboys. Yeah, I play cowboy and kid rock. I think I'm going to go with outlaws and outsiders. I prevail in body bag. Got to say, I'm excited to hear more new music from their former co-frontman, Brian, who got that new project, Scatterbrain. And it seems like I heard somewhere that new music was coming soon. But you know my brain. I could make stuff up inside my head. Think it's real.

Who knows where it came from? Then down the line of my own. I don't even know what I was talking about. I'm crazy. So anyway, stay tuned on.

I'm sure he's got new music coming. Maybe it's just my brain going, that would be common sense. Anyhow, somehow the show is done, made it through it. Now I got to go work on boring, tedious stuff.

Yeah. So excited. But I hope you have a fun rest of your morning. Hope your work day or whatever you're doing goes good and goes by fast.

If you're wanting to get it over with. And then we'll roll into Friday tomorrow. But Peaches and I will be back for the noon hour of madness and mayhem.

You might have seen the billboards around for that. That's fun. I think, however, now people think the name of the show is Madness and Mayhem. And one of us is known as Madness and one of us is known as Mayhem.

So we'll have to decide when we do the show today. Who's who? Because the billboard, I didn't find it confusing, but immediately a listener chimed in when I posted a picture of it and said, who's Madness and who's Mayhem? It was like, yeah, maybe we need to redesign that a little bit.

But it's fine. They finally got my dumb face up on a billboard. And I think that's fun.

Just staring at people as they drive down the road. Very cool. All right. Guess I'll get.

Sorry, I thought I was going to cough and we'll be back at noon. Appreciate you listening as always. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Will Show, this program is a production of Riverbend Media Group. To contact the show or for more information, hit us up at Riverbendmediagroup.com.
