The Viktor Wilt Show

[rock music] Happy Tuesday. Man, I wish it was Friday. Little early to say that since it's the first day I've been to work this week, but

[laughs] it is what it is. [laughs] Uh, I was just looking at a, uh, post titled, "People who are awake right now and can't sleep, what rabbit hole is your mind in?" Oh. Reminded me of, uh, my mental state yesterday. I wasn't feeling good, so I, I stayed home. I was on my way to work, and I had to just turn around, go back. Was like, "Nope, that ain't gonna work out." So I got back, decided to just, you know, try to lay down, go back to sleep, and I did. And then I had

the most just messed up AI-driven nightmare. Ugh. It was... I don't even know how to explain it, but it's still messing me up today. I don't know.

Bad mental state is, uh, is not a good thing to be in, all right? So I was in bad mental state even prior to, uh, trying to go back to sleep. I'm sure that's part of what drove the pure insanity that was the dream I had yesterday morning. Started off sorta normal enough. I don't know, I think I have these, uh, deep-seated fears of losing my home, 'cause I have these dreams all the time that I have to move into some dump, and I'm all disappointed, and the places are always, like, really terrible. So this one was attached to a school, like a high school, and it was in the basement, so the walls were all... Like, if, if you've been in the basement of Poky High, like down in the, uh, boiler room, the walls are all made out of, like, stone, you know? Or if you've been in buildings in Old Town Poky or Idaho Falls, you see the basements. They're, they're not like concrete. They're, they're like boulders. So the, the walls of this place were like that. It's all dark and dingy. And for some reason, the... there weren't, like, walls around the entire apartment. It, like, led into the school. Like, just walk right in. So it didn't feel very secure, for one. And they're like, "Well, school's set- uh, shutting down for summer, so it'll be nice and quiet in here." But then it wasn't. Then it just kept expanding. And... All right, y- have you seen those AI videos where things will just keep, like, growing and expanding and morphing and, uh, mutating and... Okay, imagine that the entire world's doing that all around you, and you're in this, like, school that then turns into a mall, and pretty much every item you've ever seen in your entire life starts appearing. You can't find people. You can't find your way back to, you know, the apartment. You can't find who you're looking for, and it just keeps getting more and more nightmarish. And then during the dream, I realized. I was like, "This is definitely a dream. I am dreaming." And usually when that happens, I just wake right up. Like, realize I'm dreaming, boom, I wake up. I was doing everything in my power to wake up in this dream, everything possible. You know, trying to, like, hurt myself. I'm slapping myself. Like, trying to get other people in the dream that, you know, they were, like, strangers, mutant people. I'm like, "Shake me. Shake me awa- I, I need to wake up." So then in the dream, I'm like, "Oh, the reason this dream won't end, I must be, like, in a coma or something like that." So then I'm totally freaking out in the dream 'cause I can't wake up. I finally managed to make my way out of the school, mall, mutant, wh- whatever, AI nightmare, and I'm outside, and outside's even worse. There's, like, you know, billowing smoke going up into the sky like the world had been bombed, but the smoke clouds were in the shape of skulls. And there... I don't know if you've ever read about, like, nuclear fallout, but, uh, you know, people have, uh, who witnessed, uh, you know, these, uh, nuclear explosions up close, like, they'll be very, very colorful and things like that, the, the fallout stuff that comes out of the sky. So I think I had a little bit of that going on. And the guy who was walking me in the dream, like, "This is just how it's gonna keep going. Isn't it beautiful?" And I'm like, "Well, it is beautiful, but I, I need to wake up." And then somehow I woke up. [laughs] It was not cool. And then I was just pretty much mentally wrecked all day yesterday from that. Dream's still messing with me. Uh, but today's better than yesterday. And at least I'm hanging out here at work. I can, you know, realize, oh, there are worse things in the world than politics. I could be back in that, uh, AI nightmare that I... It went on so long, so long, just trying to wake up. It was, like, one of the worst nightmares ever. Ugh. So then I just pretty much spent yesterday all day trying to get as much sleep as humanly possible, and it, it was not good. It was not... 'Cause I wasn't feeling good, you know? So that combined with, well, if I'm gonna sleep, I'm gonna deal with nightmares. Ugh. Hopefully today [laughs] is just a little bit different. Jade, please don't bother me too much today. Yikes.

So anyway, there. I've, I've, I got my, uh, mental nightmare out of the way. I'm gonna find something fun and cheery to talk about. I just... I don't know, I f- feel like I had to spew that out of my head 'cause it's still bothering me. [laughs] Hey, I told you, if you're a long-time listener, I got, you know...... some mental issues sometimes. And yesterday was about as, as bad as it gets. Bad as it gets [laughs]. Oh. All right.

Just gonna sit here and wait for the ibuprofen to kick in. I think I was so clenched up over the weekend, that's why my back hurts. Ugh. Crazy what, uh,

mental health problems can do to you. Not, not kid. Not kid. All right. I'll be back in a minute with something that isn't, uh, a Victor Wilt meltdown, okay? But, uh, I appreciate you being here with me, hanging out, listening to the show. It's good to be semi-normal this morning after that. [rock music] Good morning, afternoon, evening, whatever. I don't know what time it is when you're listening to this. Hopefully the show is good enough that I'll feel comfortable putting it up on demand everywhere podcasts can be found. Just, uh, working on the day hour by hour here, powering through. We'll do this. But hey, we got money on the way. All right.

Could the government just quit promising to give us money? How many, how many people are, uh, confident in us getting some, uh, some tariff refunds? Now, if you recall, back when DOGE was supposedly cleaning up the, uh, the government, Elon Musk was like, "Yeah, g- give all Americans, like, $5,000." Do you remember that? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Well, now we're all getting promised, you know, uh, 2,000 bucks, which, you know, sure, anything to knock down some debt, I'll take it. Problem is, eh [laughs], my hope of this actually happening is, you know, ki- kinda low. That's just me. I'm being a, I'm being a negative Nancy on this one, okay? You never know. It could happen, or it could just be, you know, the government spouting off. They do that from time to time.

Well, we can all dream. I mean, i- seriously, if you couldn't use 2,000 bucks, you're doing pretty good [laughs] right? Feel free to donate to the, uh, Victor Wilt needing money fund. [sighs] All right. Sorry, I shouldn't be so negative. You never know what's gonna happen. We might get some dough. We'll see. All right. Um, what else do we got going on here? No promotions this week or anything. No promotions going on this week. I know Peaches over the weekend went to the, who was it, Set It Off, an Autumn King show, interviewed a couple of the bands. It'll be interesting to hear how that went for him.

I don't know. I'm just, uh, I'm just having a day here, people. I gotta find something fun to talk about. Everything I open online [laughs] is just weirding me out. Ah, ah! It's all right.

Day by day, the week's gotta improve, right? Mm-hmm.

What is going on? Ah! Dropping the ball this morning [laughs]. It's okay. Surviving one minute at a time, make it through the day. Okay. Speaking of surviving, I was looking at a thread here. This should be pleasant. "Who is the most dangerous person you have ever met?"

Well, there are a lot of dangerous people out there. Seriously. You never know. Never know who you're dealing with. Bunch of creeps, weirdos, and dangerous people. I worked in Burley. Trust me, I know. I don't know how many of my customers in Burley ended up down the road getting arrested for things like murder. Yeah. They'd be like, "Oh, I recognize that guy. He was in here every day." So I don't even know who the most dangerous person I've ever met is. Eh, I've met a lot of dangerous people, and it's kinda unsettling 'cause it's like, wow, I got lucky [laughs], you know? Didn't make that person mad, you know? Or they didn't happen to snap right at that moment. Gotta be careful out there. People are weird. Uh, let's see here. People on the internet, some of the most, uh, dangerous people they've met. Uh, this person says they got hammered with Henry Hill, who is Ray Liotta's character from Goodfellas. Funny enough, a guy I met in Burley, this guy was from New York, and he told me he met Henry Hill as well, but he was, like, trashing Henry Hill. Henry Hill, you know, he ended up being a, a, a rat. So, um, I, I don't know. I don't know if, he was, I'm sure still a dangerous person, but, uh, the guy I met in Burley who claimed he'd met him, he wasn't very worried about him. You know, years ago we did a, uh, live broadcast at, like, um, a prepper convention in Rexburg. You know, lots of, uh, you know, buckets of dry goods and this and that. I'm pretty sure I met Chad Daybell at that. Definitely a dangerous guy, definitely a creep. You just never know with people.

Sorry, I'm feeling sketchy this morning [laughs] as, as I explained, due to my, uh, day of, uh, nightmarish AI, uh, dreams. I don't know. I'm, I'm a worrier sometimes. And, you know, if I hadn't been through so many crazy things, I probably wouldn't worry so much. But, I mean, just being in Burley alone... I, I don't wanna get too dark on this show here, but like I said, I met a lot of people in Burley who would be in the news months down the road for killing people. Uh, friends who got, you know, they're no longer with us... uh, that that's happened not only in Burley, but locally. And I don't, like, run with crazy crowds. Just bad things hap... Sorry, I'm in a weird mental place. I don't know what... I, I need some sunshine and rainbows. We're gonna have to listen to, like, nothing but Electric Cowboy. [laughs] I'm just... I'm freaking out. Okay, let's see. All right, yeah, this thread, this thread is, uh, a little bit unsettling. Like, here's a guy talking about, uh, you know, hanging out with Aaron Hernandez. He was an NFL player who ended up, uh, killing a bunch of people.

All right, I, I gotta close this one out. I shouldn't be reading these, uh, stories. Not today. Not today, people. [laughs]

Ugh. All right, I swear I'm gonna find something positive to talk about, everybody. You never know what you're gonna get on this show. Sometimes I just have a meltdown, all right? It's just sometimes how it goes, and, uh, unfortunately you have to put up with it. [laughs] [upbeat music] All right, I'm looking at this website called Resonance. I don't know, you know, how reputable they are or anything like that, but they said, "Last month we shared some of our latest research for our upcoming America's Best Cities report on the factors most highly correlated with the size of a city's prime age population, spending by visitors, and the number of businesses being formed." And, uh, you know, so they looked at cities that were doing good, and then they looked at, I guess, the places that people wanna live, so-called superstar cities, um, which, you know, kinda declined during and right after the pandemic, but, you know, they're, they're firing back. And now when they polled a bunch of people, they asked, you know, "Okay, what are the top three towns or cities you'd like to live in someday?" And it's always funny 'cause it's always the same cities on these lists, even though, you know, you might see on Facebook, like, "All these places, they're a dump. They're going downhill. Nobody wants to be there." New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Vegas, San Diego, Chicago. I've, I've been doing this show a long time, and whenever they have these lists pop up on the places people wanna live most, those are always the same cities. [laughs] You know? I was talking with Peaches about it last week, and he was like, "Bah, LA is terrible now. Blah, blah, blah." I'm like, "Dude, I'm, I'm pretty sure it's still pretty good. Look how many people wanna live there. Couldn't be that bad." [laughs] You know, I've got, uh, friends who live in places like Chicago, for example. They, they think it's great there, one of the, the best cities in America. I've never been to Chicago, so I can't judge. But, uh, yeah, you know, sometimes you can't just listen to, uh, you know, one person's thing, one person's opinion. Like, you've heard me say, I think the worst place imaginable is Burley. There are lots of people that love Burley, okay? I had bad experiences there. It's not the kind of place I'd wanna be, but

I'm sure for a lot of people it's a perfect place. So, just wanna let you know, you ain't gonna be able to afford to, but if you wanna go to the most popular places, uh, they were all those cities I just mentioned. Um, [laughs] and congratulations. Oh, good for you if you can afford to do so, 'cause, uh, I don't... I, I don't think I'd wanna put up with the traffic. I'm feeling way too lazy for that. Gotta be able to get home quick. [upbeat music] So the other day we got the bad news that, uh, Grand Theft Auto VI has been delayed till November 19th of next year. Hopefully, uh, hopefully I make it that long. [laughs] Sorry. Having a mental day. It's not as bad as yesterday, but, uh, [laughs] sometimes you got the darkness floating around in your head, you know? Uh, make sure to check with your doctor to, uh, see how your vitamin levels and things are doing. I'm gonna get in for my annual checkup soon. Be like, "Help! Help! I'm feeling the darkness, feeling the dark cloud."

I'm okay though, people, all right? I'll survive. Gotta get through another day. In, you know, somewhat maybe good news, I just read a post that says, "Reportedly in the works, Grand Theft Auto IV Definitive Edition for PS5 and Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption II Game of the Year Awards Edition for PS5," again, reportedly in the works. Now, reportedly in the works, that, that could mean just about anything, right? I could say, "Hey, I heard blank." That doesn't mean that there's any reality behind it. It's kinda like, based on a true story. You know, there was a person once with this name, and now we made a movie about it. [laughs] Has nothing to do with anything that actually took place in their life, but it's based on a true story 'cause that person existed. Reportedly in the works. I mean, I, I'll have a little bit of hope. I'd like to play a better version of GTA IV and a better version of Red Dead Redemption II. That'd be great. Just hopefully, uh, GTA VI does in fact end up being released November 19th of 2026. That's, uh, you know, just over a year from now. It's a long ways to wait, but

it's gotta happen eventually, right? Unless the meteor strikes Earth... Okay, enough. I'll find some freak news, okay? We'll be back. [upbeat music]

... all right. We've got an office vandalized with dookie. That sounds like a good freak news story. [rock music] All right, let's see here. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency office in Kelowna recently vandalized. Looks like a large amount of dookie spelling out a little bit of profanity. [laughs] All right, that's kinda gross, 'kay? In order to spell out things in dookie, the dookie has to be in your hand. Who's picking up poo? Now,

I believe, is it ostrich? Ostrich poo? Apparently, hundreds of ostriches had to be put down due to an avian flu outbreak, and the farm's owners were very upset. So I believe what they did was gather up a whole bunch of the ostrich poo, and then just smear it all over the windows and, uh, write nasty words with it. [laughs] All right, sorry, but, uh, y'all grody, 'kay?

I mean, it's a way to protest. It's funny, it's poo, but

I don't know. It, it's just kinda, kinda gross. Now, don't none of y'all be getting any ideas around here, all right? No dookie protests. Uh, if you drive a Honda Civic, might wanna check your wheels. Uh, apparently Honda's recalling more than 400,000 Civics because wheel nuts could come loose and the wheels might fall off while you're driving down the road. Oh yeah, I need to get my truck dealt with. [sighs] There's too much I need to do. [groans]

Okay, I'll, I'll make that call today, try to get an appointment going. Am I supposed to go to the dentist today? I hope not. Ugh. I just wanna go home. Okay, uh, what else do we have here? Hopefully the wheels don't fall off my truck. Let's see here. I, I don't drive a Honda Civic. They... But it, it's a truck. Let's see. Staggering data reveals almost 200 bodies have been pulled from Houston bayous, and, uh, the authorities are like, "Nah, don't worry about it." Yeah, in the last eight years, 189 dead bodies found in the swampy waters [laughs] of Houston, Texas. And, uh, they say of these deaths, 17 classified as murders, with 75 marked as unexplained. Okay, what about the other 100? You know, there, there's gotta be, you know, serial killers out there, right? I don't know, yet another reason to not move to Texas, if they've got swampy bogs. Ugh. Okay, that's unpleasant. Um, I gotta find some cheerier stuff for my mental state today. A alien ship will hide from humans when it closes in on Earth before Christmas. You know the guy who was talking about that, uh, comet, 31 Atlas, and he just insists, "No, it's, it's a spaceship." I thought it was supposed to, um, go by Earth, like, two weeks ago. Well, now apparently it's gonna close on Earth, close in on Earth before Christmas, and he said seven jets were released from it. Um, but it's likely gonna hide so we can't see it. How is this in the news? Can you just say anything and get into the news?

It would certainly appear so. [laughs] I'm just gonna start making stuff up. Actually, we did that on our social media page the other day. On the, uh, KBEAR page, we made a post about... Oh, who was it? Oh, it was Brian Johnson getting into a feud with Sabrina Carpenter. Sadly, it does not appear that that post went viral. We were hoping we could, uh, create a lie and it would go crazy. Unfortunately, it did not happen. But it looks like news. Surprised the Daily Star didn't pick up on it. Should've sent it in to 'em. They will report on anything. All right, we're gonna get back to some music here. Milady wanted to hear some System of a Down, and it's after eight o'clock. I'm gonna drink some water, sit here and take deep breaths.

It's a Tuesday that feels like a Monday. I hope your morning's going well. Thank you for listening to the show. [rock music] Well, we were talking about aliens earlier. Might as well talk about Bigfoot. Yeah, I got an article here that says, "Very credible Bigfoot sighting reported in central Pennsylvania, researcher said." So, researchers spoke with an eyewitness who claimed to have seen Bigfoot crossing I-80 in early October, and they said he was sincere and credible. This was an investigator with the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, BFRO, who wrote in his report that the witness was a retired civil engineer and Air Force veteran. Took place about 5:30 PM, Saturday, October 4th. And the guy said,

you know, he saw something strange, dark figure entered the roadway, had a human-like head and shoulders, and the whole body was dark. He thought the guy was about to get hit. He's like, "What's he doing? He's gonna get hit." But then what shook him was the way the creature moved across the highway, not quick or jerky like a sprinter, but fast and smooth, almost seeming to glide across the lanes. Said the figure crossed the highway in about three seconds, and then disappeared into the woods without needing to climb over the guardrail. Yeah, he said it happened very quickly. All right, this is a very credible Bigfoot sighting

because this one guy said so. [laughs] How, how about some pictures? How about a dash cam video... how long does it take to run across freeway? I would guess about three seconds. And people can also, uh... You know, when you're about to run into something, you're gonna get a little sketchy on the roadway. Feel a little bit weird, right? "Oh, no. I might run into this thing." Your perception might get a little bit off.

In my opinion, due to the fact that this was just what one guy said, even if he seemed like a nice guy, I don't know if I'm gonna go with credible. I've talked to a lot of, uh, really nice people

who are also crazy [laughs], all right? They can seem sincere. They can seem really nice. Maybe they come from a very professional background, but I'm still gonna go with, uh... Eh, they, they can be a little bit wacky at times,

so I don't know if this is actually credible. I wanna see some video, all right? I was just scrolling the news and, you know, "Check out this bobcat that was picked up on a dash cam." Or not a dash cam, a, uh, you know, the, the, the cameras people leave in the woods, a trail cam. Like, there's no reason that it should be there. Look at it. There are trail cams all over the woods. Bigfoot just knows how to spot 'em.

I- I'm not, you know,

completely

unsold on Bigfoot, but

I need better evidence. Better than, "Hey, we believe this guy. You know, come on, he seemed like a good dude." And I'll keep you posted if I find any other, uh, credible Bigfoot sighting information. [upbeat music] All right, earlier we were talking about the places people wanna live most. You know, all the big major cities in America. But there's apparently a list of the best cities in the world. Yeah, the best. Where are we at here? All right, this is a list of 100. And coming in at number one, the capital of capitals, London. Okay. I mean, I would like to visit London. It's very historical. It's overseas, and I've never been overseas. Only country aside from the US I've been, uh, is Mexico.

Almost made it to Canada, but just didn't have enough time when we went and visited my daughter a few months ago. Was it a few months ago? Man, time goes by way too quick, and I hate that. I hate that, as an adult, how fast time goes by. You know, if there's a, an approaching deadline, something that needs to be done, I start getting anxious and kind of freaking out. Sorry, I'll settle down. All right, coming in at number two, there you go, New York, which was the place people wanted to live most according to that list I saw earlier. I don't know, I guess if you've got the money. I don't know. When I was there, it seemed like living in New York City, [clears throat] that's a lot of hustle and bustle. You know, like, how do you move? Yeah, if you, if you wanna move to a new place... I don't know. I think I need some wide open spaces. What do we got for number three? Paris. So there... These are just gonna be, you know, all the biggest cities in the world, aren't they? Tokyo coming in at number four. Madrid, Spain, number five. Singapore. I do wanna visit Singapore. It looks like a sci-fi city of the future. I don't know, it just looks cool. I think it'd be cool to, uh, go check it out. How many times did I just say cool? Rome would be interesting for the history. Dubai, eh, I don't know about Dubai. I mean, it kinda looks like Vegas or something, very, uh, extravagant. What's up with this giant, uh, picture frame? It's a weird building. Hmm. All right, whatever. Berlin at number nine, and number 10, Barcelona. Not a lot of the US popping up in this list.

What do we got for American cities that are on here? I guess if you get down to number 12, you get LA, then at number 26, Miami, and of course San Francisco, Chicago, Vegas, all the cities we mentioned earlier. Ain't seeing Idaho pop up in that list. I don't know, maybe a lot of these places don't deal with the frigid, horrible winter. I don't see Minneapolis on there either. Eh. Lot of cities in nicer areas as far as the climate goes, aside from maybe Denver.

All right, well, too much traffic. Too much traffic. I ain't going. Just hang out here for now. [upbeat music] Let's do a little bit of Trash Talk Tuesday. Let's talk about water bottles [laughs]. Exciting news. Well, there was this article I was looking at about the prices of bottled water in Vegas. Like, Las Vegas just can't seem to figure out why people don't wanna go visit right now. How about them prices? Yeah. Some bottled water, Aquafina, you know, the cheap wa- uh, bottled water, depending on where you go, you can get it as high as $9 a bottle. Last time I was in Vegas, I needed toothpaste, all right? Forgot my toothpaste, and like an idiot, I went to the gift shop in Circus Circus. Now, Circus Circus is, like, low-tier Vegas casino, like bottom of the barrel on the strip. You'd think their gift shops would be one of the cheaper ones, which according to bottled water prices, they are. But now for toothpa- I paid 10 bucks for a small thing of toothpaste, but I needed it. You know, you can't just be

going without toothpaste, all right? It's disgusting. Gotta brush your teeth, wash your hands... so, you know, bottled water's out of control in Vegas. But if you're gonna buy it, hopefully you can at least get a little bit more value out of it by saving your empty bottles of water. If they're, if they're empty, TSA will let you bring them through, I believe. And then you fly over to Japan, do some tourism there, and you use those bottles of water to scare away bears. Last week, I think I had three different articles about bears attacking people. It's a problem in Japan right now. Bears are just messing people up. So the government's like, "What you should do is carry empty plastic bottles of water, 'cause if you crumple them up, bears hate it and they'll just leave you [laughs] alone." Um, yeah, they're like, "Here, just give your kids a bottle of water." I guess it's better than giving your kids a bottle of bear spray. And I don't know if bear spray is legal in Japan. I haven't seen a lot of information about bear spray being used by Japanese residents to defend themselves against all these bear attacks. Overpriced bottles of water from Vegas, don't throw them away. Maybe they should ship them to Japan en masse. You know, have those, uh, recycling bins, but only plastic bottles of water that are noisy. You ship them over and we help the people of Tokyo deal with these bear attacks, 'cause, you know, I'm sorry, it's no, no way to start your day getting, you know, clawed up, maybe gnawed on, ripped to pieces by a bear. All right. You know, my morning's not going great, but at least I didn't get attacked by a bear on the way here, okay? Could be a lot worse. Little bit of, uh, you know, mentally disheveled and a headache, but

it's not due to a bear gnawing on my head, all right?

We got some empty plastic bottles around here? [laughs] Should be good in the middle of town, but you never know. You never know.

All right, I'm gonna keep digging for more crap to talk about on this program. Thank you for tuning in today. Hopefully Tuesday's going nicely for you. We'll power through. We're gonna crush it down, get her done, and the rest of the week, day by day, it's gonna get better and better and better, all right? Stay positive, everybody. We got this. [rock music] Oh, geez. Just stumbling across the type of news that makes you... [cries] Ugh.

Such a sap. Such a sap. No, it's a story about this family, their cat passed away and they buried it, and, you know, they decided to go out to, to the grave site and visit their little kitty's grave. And, you know, it's sad. But then this stray cat shows up and just, you know, starts loving on him, this and that. And

so they took him home, and now they got themselves a new little friend. Aw.

Sorry, yesterday, I was not feeling good yesterday. A little bit off. A, a lot a bit off. And I pretty much ended up sleeping, like, all day. But my little kitty, Lucy, was so nice and just kept me company, like, the whole time. She was being a good girl. It's weird how animals, I, I think know sometimes when you, you need somebody to just hang, [laughs] you know? Even though they can't talk to you, she just laid there. Just laid there, kept me company as I, you know, if you missed the beginning of the show, slept and had the most horrific,

seemingly AI-induced,

never-ending nightmares from which I could not wake up, even though I knew I was dreaming. And the fact that I couldn't wake up made it even worse, and it just wrecked me all day when I did finally wake up, 'cause I thought I was gonna be stuck in this dream forever. And it was crazy. It was crazy. It was one of the most unsettling dreams I've ever had. And it was like one of those AI videos where everything's just multiplying and reproducing and, you know, it's, it just expanding and, like, everything I'd ever experienced or seen in life was all just pummeling me and I couldn't escape from it.

But then I woke up, you know, and, uh, thankfully was back in my room. [laughs] Ugh, yesterday sucked. [laughs] It sucked. I hope you had a good day yesterday. Me? No.

Thankfully, today going a, a little bit better. But it's amazing how, you know, dreams can really mess you up, even though they're, they're not real. You know? They're, they're just dreams, whatever they mean. Whew.

Gonna take a bit to shake that one off. Thank you to Lucy for, for hanging out. My goodness. [rock music] All right. Got a guest in studio. I was needing company, so thank you for coming and keeping me company. You can feel free to pull that mic right up in your face. All right, all right, all right. All right. Becca in the house. What's happening, my lady? How's it going? Oh, you know, it's a day. It is a day. Yeah. Thankfully not yesterday. [laughs] Screw yesterday. Yeah, you were sleeping a lot. [laughs] Yesterday was not good. Not good. Yeah. You needed, you needed that sleep, though. I mean, I tried to go to work. I tried. I was driving there. I know. You- And then I turned around. [laughs] You, you took me to my car and you were like, "No." Nope. Nope. Not happening. Yeah. And then, uh, yeah, let's just go have some, uh, horrific dreams. Oh, it was crazy. I'm sorry. Yeah. That's terrible. Well... [laughs] It happens. It happens sometimes. Eh, it is what it is. [laughs] That one was next level, though. I think it's from watching all those weird AI videos that have been popping up where...... you know, people just start mutating and things, and, like, everything's expanding and the-

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, some of that AI content's getting so weird that I think it's, it's gonna start doing damage to people, you know?

Well, maybe [laughs] you need to stop watching it [laughs].

You can't help it.

[laughs]

It... Like, I'm sure if I started scrolling Facebook right now, something weird would pop up, or Jade would send it to me. Yesterday, I'm all, you know, sketched out, and Jade sent me this video of an old woman, and I think she was like, "Do you want a cake?"

[laughs]

"Do you want a cake?" And she had, like, crazy eyes. And then all of a sudden, from, I, I think it was her stomach, a, a... Just cake monster comes erupting out with these big, giant, crazy eyes.

[laughs]

I'm like, "No."

No.

"I don't need this right now." [laughs] I already had a never-ending dream that was pretty much like this.

Oh, that's hilarious.

Yeah. I, I see a lot of weird AI videos. Have you seen the ones-

Well, well, some of 'em, like, I, [laughs] I can't even watch them. I have to be like, "Oh, no," [laughs] and I have to hurry and, like, scroll, 'cause they, they're really, like, trippy.

Yeah.

Really trippy.

Yeah. That, that's what that whole dream was like, that would not end and that I could not wake up from, you know? Just-

It's like, uh, I don't know if [laughs] I'm allowed to say this on air.

All right, be careful. [laughs] I got the dump button, I guess.

I don't know. I'm not... Like an acid trip.

[laughs] Oh. You know, from, from the videos I've seen online, that's what those AI videos are like.

Yeah, exactly.

It, it was, uh, it was unnerving, and, uh, I thought I wasn't gonna wake up from it, 'cause I knew I was dreaming, and I kept telling myself in the dream, "Wake up. What's the deal?" So then I thought I was in a coma, and I was stuck in this, you know, AI-like world permanently [laughs] and I was never going to be able to escape it. So then finally, when I woke up, I was just like, "Oh, geez. Thank, thank the Lord." Oh. Yeah, there's, there's some strange AI content.

Well, good thing you woke up [laughs] and you weren't in a coma.

Well-

So...

Yeah, if it would've just kept going, I'd have been like, "This is what it's like." And then I'm in the dream like, "Man, this is horrible. For people who are in comas, this is what they have to live through? This is terrifying." Yeah, I don't know what it's like to really be in a coma, but hopefully the dreams aren't like that if you're dreaming, you know?

True.

It was awful.

True, true.

It was awful. Yeah, I see a lot of strange AI content. Have you seen these ones with the robot people? I don't know why I get these all the time. You'll ha-... And, and they're, they're kinda gross too, 'cause it's like-

[laughs]

... there's these men making these female robots. You haven't seen this?

No.

And they'll, like, open up their chest.

What?

And they have, like, a big heart inside, like a big glowing heart, and then for some reason, they always start making out with them.

What?

And it's really gross and disturb... And they pop up all the time on my feed.

[laughs] You're gonna have to-

I think I gotta stop looking at Facebook.

... say... Yeah, maybe for a little bit. [laughs]

And I think Jade's sending me all... He sends me the weirdest ones, so then I go watch them, and I think my social media algorithm's like, "Yeah, he likes these. Let's show him more [laughs] of these bizarre videos," and they might be cooking my mind. Like, I, I know you probably heard me talk about people who are having, like, psychotic breakdowns from chatting with ChatGPT.

Yeah.

Yeah. What about, what are those videos doing? You know, if simple-

You never know. I mean, we all know Jeffrey Dahmer [laughs] and all his crazy-

[laughs] I know. I don't wanna snap one day 'cause I watched-

... people [laughs]

... some garbage on Facebook. Ugh. So, yeah. Well, I'm glad you're not getting exposed to those kind of videos as well, 'cause they do seem to be, uh, not good for the mind. That's... I think that the, uh, robots are trying to destroy us all.

Oh, we're, we're doomed. [laughs]

Yeah, if pe-

We're doomed

... if it ain't people doing it to us, it's the robots or the aliens. I don't know. But I'm glad you came by, 'cause I'm feeling, uh, mentally disturbed today.

[laughs]

Here, let's see, uh, what this caller wants. K-Bear, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this?

Hey, what's up, boss? This is Stuart.

Stu-

Love you guys. Love the show.

Oh, thank you, Stuart. What's on your mind?

Uh, I was just curious if you happen to have your CPAP on when you were having these crazy dreams, 'cause I think you tend to have the crazier dreams when you don't have your CPAP on.

No, the CPAP dreams are usually more, like... Yeah, more like that. They're, you know, deeper. The, the dreams I have when I don't wear the CPAP is that I'm walking around and I can't breathe and I'm gonna die.

[laughs]

So...

I'm sorry. [laughs] I don't mean to laugh.

That's what they are. I was talking with JD about it this morning, 'cause he heard my first break where I talked about the, the nightmare AI dream, and he asked if I was wearing my CPAP, and I was like, "Yeah. No, I was." And he's like... 'Cause, yeah, I have these nightmares where I can't breathe, and I know those ones. Those are... They suck. They... That's a different anxiety when you wake up, a different, "I'm gonna die." It's not, "I'm in a coma."

[laughs]

It's just, "Oh, I'm actually dying in my sleep." [laughs] "Not trapped in a hospital for years on end, just living the AI nightmare." So, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, stay off the AI, man.

[laughs] I'm, I'm gonna have to. Jade, stop sending me those videos, dude. You're messing me up.

Oh, Jade's not gonna stop. [laughs]

No. I'll, I'll show you the one when we get off air, 'cause it, it was... Yeah, not what I needed to see in my current mind state after that dream last night. Ugh, terrible. Well, good to hear from you, Stuart. Uh, you avoid the AI as well. It's not good for your mind.

Yeah, for sure.

Yeah. [laughs]

[laughs] See you, man.

Yeah, have a good one.

All right, we're gonna try to find some other crap to talk about. Y'all hang on. If you need to get a hold of us, 208-535-1015. [rock music] I was looking for it. I know we have it in the system somewhere, but it's gone, so whatever. We'll just talk about a variety of Florida Man stories. They're, they're nice and pleasant, like all the rest of the news I've been finding today. Becca joining me in studio. All right

[laughs] Which do we start with?

[laughs]

Uh, should we start with, uh, the Florida man who, you know, just threatened to

slice some throats? Jeez. Yeah, he, uh, just pulled a knife on a woman and her son and just told them-

[laughs] I'm sorry, it's not funny, but-

"I'll cut your throats."

[laughs]

Um, yeah. They were just hanging out outside a hotel, and the guy just walked up to 'em. It was about, uh, 4:30 in the afternoon [laughs] and that's what happened. You know? Just an average day, checking in, getting ready to go to Walt Disney World. [laughs] "I'll slice your throats." What is wrong with people in Florida? I can't wait for Grand Theft Auto VI. [laughs] It's gonna be wild. Uh, there was another story out of Florida where a guy was in a bar, and he was in an, in a bit of an argument about how many eggs chickens can lay.

[laughs]

Um, I don't, I don't... You're from Idaho. Have you been around anybody who raises chickens?

I... Yes, I do. [laughs] I do know.

How many eggs can a chicken lay?

Honestly, I have no idea.

Okay.

I'm, I'm sure it [laughs] depends on the chicken.

Well, don't, don't ever get in an argument with somebody at the bar about it. Uh, 'cause I guess the guy thought that, uh, three people were trying to con him. I'm guessing it was a bet or something, so he just started blasting at them with a .45. [laughs]

Oh.

Yeah. That's a reasonable response to an argument about chicken eggs, right? Uh, he said he raises chickens-

[laughs]

... so he would know. [laughs]

I'm sorry, it's just so funny. [laughs]

So the people... [laughs] As far as I know, he's, he might be good at raising chickens, but he's a bad shot. I don't think anybody got hit-

[laughs]

... you know, which is good. And, uh, they all just kind of booked it out of there. And the Florida authorities wanted to remind yourself that arming yourself with a handgun when you're drinking is not a good idea.

Mm.

Now, I... You- you've worked in bars. I do believe it's illegal to bring a firearm in the bar, right?

Uh, yes. Yeah. It is.

I would imagine there are many people who still do.

Oh, people-

'Cause this is America.

[laughs] Yeah. Pe- people hide 'em. I mean, it happens all the time, but yeah, it is pretty illegal.

Yeah. Please don't bring a firearm-

'Cause-

... into the bar where you're drinking, okay?

'Cause, 'cause if you're drinking, I mean, you know, you're not thinking straight sometimes and can black out and then just pull, [laughs] pull it out. Yeah.

Yeah. You don't wanna wake up, uh-

Or stab people [laughs] or, I mean, that happens too.

Yeah, don't bring a knife either. You're gonna be... You know, if everybody would just show up to the bar unarmed, things would go a lot better.

I don't know. They got that right fist [laughs] and that left fist. [laughs]

I, I would rather take a fist than a knife.

[laughs] I know.

Like, I've been punched, but I have not been stabbed.

Yeah. [laughs]

And I... Stabbed, you can just die. You know, you can just be done. One stab, that's all it takes.

Mm-hmm.

You know, usually it would take multiple fists, unless it's a really, really good puncher, you know? [laughs] There might be a guy out there, one punch, you're dead. But I- I'm gonna take my odds and go with please punch me instead of stab or shoot. It, yeah, just sounds like a better idea. [laughs]

I, I seen this video, and it was... I don't know if I showed it to you. I think I did. But it's this guy in the back of a police car, and officer's like, "Do you have any weapons on you?" And he's like, "Yeah, my right hand. [laughs] My right fist and my left fist." [laughs] And I thought it was so funny, so I'm gonna use that all the time now.

"Yeah, I got two guns right here."

Yeah. [laughs]

"These ones." [laughs]

Yeah.

All right. And there, there was another story I pulled up about, uh, couple people out fishing. You know, just got this kid out fishing, trying to have a good time. And, well, apparently some, some older man got very upset at this kid, started calling him an idiot, and then he, uh, threatened to drown him

and also threatened to punch his lights out.

[laughs]

Um, kid was just fishing. Uh, let's see. The, the kid said, "I'm 14, so I don't need a fishing license." I guess that's what the argument was about. Uh, apparently you don't need one until you're 17 in Texas. I guess this isn't Florida, this is Texas. Uh, but this, you know, old know-it-all called the kid an idiot. And I, I don't know, threatening to drown him over a fishing license [laughs] that also seems a bit excessive, just in my opinion. Um, and there are videos floating around if you wanna check out the, uh, the confrontation for yourself. Like I told you, I'm just stumbling across nothing but pleasant material online today. Did you enjoy the video I showed you of the woman who asked if you wanted a piece of cake that Jade sent me?

Oh, gosh, no. [laughs]

[laughs] No?

No. I was like, "No, I don't even wanna watch that." [laughs]

That's the type of nightmare fuel he sends me all the time, and why I have dreams like I had yesterday. It's Jade's fault. He, he's a terrible boss. He's torturing me all the time. He's rude.

He, he wants to.

I know.

Yeah.

And then he comes in today with that silly haircut he's got going on.

Oh, it looks so cute. [laughs]

[laughs]

He's got, like, red in there now. [laughs]

... looking so hip, Jade.

He, he dyed his hair.

His beard?

Yeah, his beard.

He must have left-

He's looking all fresh [laughs]

He must have left that dye in his beard for, like, five hours to get all that gray out [laughs]

[laughs]

'Cause his beard is dark black. [laughs]

It is. It is. Hi J- hi, Jade, if you're listening [laughs]

Of course he is. He's always eavesdropping.

[laughs]

But he should be listening to Josh and Chantel, 'cause everyone's always causing trouble. But I'm sure he's, you know, seeing what I'm up to over here. Just talking about people dying, Jade. You know, there was a guy who fell into the Grand Canyon too, just in case we needed more unpleasantness. Uh, he dead. RIP to that guy. Have you ever read the book, uh, Death in Grand Canyon?

No.

It's at the house. You should check it out if you ever just want some pleasant reading material. It's about every person who's ever died in the Grand Canyon.

No. [laughs]

No? [laughs] Doesn't sound fun? I thought I'd just leave it in the bathroom for when guests are over, something pleasant to read.

I, I used to, like, have, like, these little mini, like, unsolved stories [laughs] and I would leave it in the bathroom too, just in case if someone's phone died when you're on the toilet. [laughs]

Well, this book kinda reads like an unsolved story, 'cause sometimes the people live.

[laughs]

So you're reading it and it'll be like, "Man falls 250 feet off, you know, Grand Canyon ledge, but he landed in a bush [laughs] and he was fine." But then you'll have somebody who, you know, they were just walking and they got lost. And it's really hot in the bottom of the Grand Canyon, and if you're not prepared... [clicks tongue]

You, you've been, uh, in the bottom of the Grand Canyon?

No, I'm way too lazy for that.

[laughs]

That's a long hike.

Then how do you know how... [laughs]

From that book. [laughs] I read about it.

Oh.

And people just dying of exposure. All right, everybody, we're having a pleasant show today. Hope your morning's going good. [rock music] All right, this is the kind of story that frustrates me on multiple levels here. It's a bunch of crap. So, we got Peaches in the house here. Peaches?

Yeah.

Imagine that you're in the position, you're like, "You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna install a swimming pool in my backyard."

Sure, I wanna increase my bills.

"Yeah, I can afford it. I got the, the land and the materials, and I can afford it."

Oh, good for you.

"Mm-hmm. I'm gonna dig a swimming pool."

You might as well just pay other people to do it for you.

Yeah. Well, this is why you don't wanna pay other people to do it.

Why, you don't want to?

Yeah, 'cause this guy, he's in France. "You know, look at me, uh, king in the castle-"

Oui

... "digging my swimming pool." He's digging a hole in his yard, and he dug up $800,000 in gold.

All right.

Eight-

Untrustworthy Pop-Tarts.

This is from CBS. It's from CBS.

I don't know. How do you find $800,000 worth of gold just buried in your backyard?

Well, here's what happened. Uh, they allowed him to keep the gold, as it did not come from an archeological site. Somebody had, uh, buried these gold bars and coins in plastic bags, and due to their... So, uh, due to the fact they had, um, like, serial numbers on them and stuff, they were able to determine whoever previously lived at this house bought them legally. Must have been, [laughs] you know, like the people who stuff money into a mattress. He's like, "They ain't gonna take my gold." Then he buries it out in the garden, and then I'm assuming that person just died.

What do you think a French gold, uh, uh, gold rush guy would sound like?

I, I don't know.

[laughs]

I don't do a very good, uh, French accent, but I'm telling you, I... The, the odds of digging up gold in my backyard, probably pretty slim, even though I'm ready to get a shovel, 'cause [laughs] I need some money, Peaches.

Well, I feel like you'd probably cut into, like, some sort of line or something that would ruin everything.

Yeah, I'd, I'd be cutting off people's, uh, cable internet-

Yeah, what's this

... and things like that. Natural gas pipeline or something, cause, you know, major problems. Yeah, I do believe you need to have the city come over and mark spots in your lawn.

It's like a whole permit thing you have to do. Yeah, it's dumb.

Yeah, you can't just get out and be like, "I'm gonna dig myself a swimming pool." [laughs]

So, yeah. Apparently it's, uh, been sitting there, they're guessing about, uh, 15 or 20 years. So now he has a swimming pool and $800,000 [laughs] in gold.

I see-

I hate this guy.

What's the, uh, French currency?

I don't... That, that's a good point or a good question, Peaches. I don't know. Is it the euro or something like that?

Let's see.

I, I don't know what French currency is, but right now, price of gold's pretty high.

It's the euro.

Yeah, dude. Uh, back in 2024, apparently a north California couple discovered $10 million worth of rare coins while they were just hiking around in their yard. You know? These are people who owned a bunch of acreage in northern California. "Oh, let's go hike on our land. Woo-hoo." And then they find $10 million worth of gold? You already got acreage in northern California. It's gotta be pretty nice, right? I like northern California.

I don't.

No?

South represent.

Oh, Peaches with the SoCal.

That's right.

All right.

We're more valuable.

[laughs] You got $10 million worth of gold in your backyard, Peaches?

I'm-

You should tell your dad-

Most houses in southern California are $10 million. [laughs]

[laughs] Yeah, I guess that's true. The, the housing itself.

Come on.

Who needs gold coins? [laughs]

[laughs]

"Oh, I have a house. Look at me, king in the castle." [laughs]

[laughs]

All right, we'll be back. [rock music] Well, what a fine show it was, Peaches.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I didn't hear any part of it.

It, it was decent, I guess. You know, there have been better, there have been worse. It's a Tuesday show. Can't expect too much on a Tuesday show.

Right, yeah.

You know, there was lots of, uh, unpleasantness in the news, lots of death and just grossness. Um, but I think we made it through. All good. Now the only problem is, I am out of instant coffee. NoSo Jacob gave me a K-Cup. I made it, and, um, the, the mug had a little bit of extra space left, so I put in some cold water from the, uh, the water cooler. It's still too hot for me to drink, Peaches.

You looked pretty funny blowing into it just now before we hopped on the air here.

Yeah, I'm trying to cool it down. I don't like a hot beverage, all right? It's not my thing. Hot chocolate, yech. [laughs] Give me some regular-

All right

... chocolate milk. Hot tea, yech.

What, what if Becca wants to have hot chocolate one night? Are you gonna say, "Give me cold," or put, put some ice in it or something?

I'll just be like, "Enjoy it." [laughs]

[laughs] Enjoy.

Enjoy your hot chocolate. [laughs]

I'll have chocolate milk.

[laughs] Yes. I'll just, uh, I'll, I'll put it in the freezer and have it later.

I'll lick it like a popsicle. [laughs]

[laughs] That's right. Hot beverages, two thumbs down.

Ooh.

I'm trying to think if there's any hot beverage... Does, like, soup count as a hot beverage? 'Cause that's-

I think it does

... it's food.

Uh, that's the thing between me and Aubrey is that she loves soup, and I'm just like, "Okay, soup's great. Now where's the rest of the dinner?" Like, she wants to just have soup for dinner.

Not even any, like, bread with it?

Oh, you can have some bread, but still, it's just like that's-

And you gotta have-

... that's considered, like, a snack or an appetizer, then you move on to the actual food.

What if you have soup, bread, and salad?

Soup, bread, and salad?

Yeah.

That still feels like an appetizer.

It still kinda does. Doesn't-

You go to Olive Garden, you get that for free. Well, not for free, but you get that at the, at the start of your never-ending pasta bowl.

Yeah. Hmm. I think I'm with you on this, Peaches. Have I ever ordered just a soup? I don't, I don't know. Maybe on the coast or something, you're at a place that's known for, like, real good clam chowder or something.

Yeah.

You're like, "All right, I'll give it a shot."

Get that in a bread bowl.

Yeah, and then you're like, "Why did I order soup?"

Yeah. [laughs] You're hungry an hour later-

Exactly

... and then you want other food.

Give me some shrimp or something.

Right. [laughs]

How about some fish? [laughs] All right, everybody. Peaches and I are going to leave, and through the magic of radio, we'll be back in two hours, even though we're not really leaving the studio. We're just getting noon done. So we're gonna continue yapping. You just have to wait two hours to hear it.

[laughs]

By then, my coffee should be cooled down to a drinkable level, and hopefully it'll be... I haven't had a real coffee in a long time.

Yesterday's [laughs] noon hour podcast came up before the noon hour on the air. [laughs]

[laughs] Did it?

Nice. Well, that could happen today. You never know, people. All right. We're gonna get out of here. We got, uh, music coming up, and then the, the noon show, obviously at noon.
