The Viktor Wilt Show

Wednesday. Alright. Half well, sorta halfway through. I mean, it just started, but, hopefully, Wednesday, today, a day that goes by nice and quickly and is amazing for all. I hope you have a really good day today.

Alright. What's going on around here? I was just sending out the happy birthday messages to everybody on Facebook. It's a nice thing to do. Alright?

Makes people feel good, so you should do that. Aside from that, I did start looking around at eastidahonews.com, seeing what's going on there. Oh, you know, the huge. Lots of unpleasantness in the world, but that's why I always just, like, skip the main page, and I just go to, features. Take a look at the things that don't have to deal with the reality that we are living in today.

I mean, I guess they do in a way, but you know what I'm talking about. Yeah. I I like to find out about places I could go get some food or something. Like, what are they what do they got for East Idaho Eats this week? You know, this is one of those places that's really close to my house, and I just never think to go there.

The gangplank. Yeah. Do you like, fish and chips and things like that? Yeah. They're I've been there.

They're really good. Really good. You can get, like, deep fried salmon. Yeah. It it's excellent.

Okay. Now wait a minute. Shouldn't be looking at well, maybe I should be looking at food this early. For the last, like, week, appetite all messed up. It's not good.

I mean, ultimately, hopefully, it's helping me slim down a bit. That's why I haven't been fighting it too bad. It's like, well, if you're not hungry, you're not packing in a bunch of cheeseburgers, bro. So maybe you'll, lose some of that winter weight, but you need to eat. Maybe I'll have some fried fish today.

Yeah. Anyway, check out eastIdahonews.com if you haven't. There's a lot of great stuff to check out aside from the bleak realities of the world. Well, okay. I shouldn't start the day that way.

You you poor people that listen. Like, maybe you're getting off work. You know, you got off at six. Alright. I'll listen to Victor Wilt on my way home.

Or maybe you're on your way to work, and I'm like, oh, I'm tired. Oh, jeez. I can't eat. Oh, no. Look at what's happening in the world.

Yeah. Not doing very good job at cultivating an audience at, you know, 06:20AM. I'll try harder. And I know I've said that before, but, yeah, this this week, post three day weekend, it's just been a little bit rough, and I I managed to mess up my throat over the weekend. And it wasn't from singing karaoke.

Alright? You might have watched that video I posted on Facebook and been like, oh, dude. You sing one song and your throat's messed up for days. You suck, dude. You you ain't a pro.

No. This was, you know, from Sunday evening, not sleeping with the CPAP and just chainsaw snoring. At least I hope so. I mean, but I feel fine other than physical pain. So anyway.

Oh, more complaining from me. How about we just listen to music? Let's see here. Somebody asked online, at your age, what instantly pisses you off? Alright.

Let's see. What ins instantly? Okay. I won't get into politics. That's the one thing that could instantly set me off is like, what?

You know, I look through some of the comments on articles on eastIdahonews.com, and I just shake my head like, how how can people think this way? How? Okay. Let's see what other people are saying. People not listening or paying attention to you when you are speaking because they are distracted by their phone.

Alright. If you were engaged in a conversation with somebody, maybe, and then they just switch to their phone. But, like, I know sometimes I'll be in the middle of something on my phone and then peaches will start yapping at me about something. And I'm like, hang on. Hang on.

I can't multitask this way. So then it's vice versa. People yapping at me while I'm trying to use my phone. That could that could irritate me a little bit. Like, hang on.

Let me get this done because now I'm failing in both directions. I have no idea what you're saying, and I probably just typed a sentence that didn't make any sense. Alright. People with zero spatial awareness. Yeah.

That, that can be pretty annoying too. You know? You ever go to WinCo? Mhmm. Yeah.

When are they gonna build another WinCo? You know, we've got another Brolin's going up in Idaho Falls right next to Costco. We've got two Walmarts. We got multiple Albertsons. When are they gonna build another Winco?

I guarantee they would make more money. Alright? Just pull it on the other side of town. It would make it much more enjoyable for all of the rest of us when we're shopping because it wouldn't be pure chaos. Like, you wanna talk about walking in somewhere and be worried you're gonna pick up a sickness, Winco on a Saturday.

Don't do it. Alright. What else, pisses people off instantly at their age? Let's see. Internet illiteracy.

Alright. This person says they're 32. Not talking about little kids. They haven't had the chance to learn. I'm talking about people around my age who have used the Internet for a good portion of their lives.

Doesn't matter how many times they're warned, they still click links and emails, invest money into online businesses without asking important questions, click suspicious ads, and accept whatever image they see as real. Yeah. You hear me complain about that. Lot of people getting duped, getting duped day by day, and all it takes is, like, two minutes of Googling to find out if the stupid image that is being shared around Facebook is real or not, and I'm gonna not even talk about AI. Yeah.

That that does instantly anger me as well when I see somebody share something just so stupid and fake. But, again, we're in the age of, people being duped by, the most insane things that I could possibly imagine. So I I think it's just gonna get worse. Okay. Let's see.

You know, we've had some great topics this morning to start the day. Me having a morning meltdown. Oh, it's early. I'm not hungry. And now what makes you mad?

This is probably more for the end of the show. Right? I don't know. I'm waking myself up. So, you know, thank you to those who are sitting through this program.

I'm actually in a pretty decent mood aside from, you know, the sore throat that won't go away. Let's see here. Oh, I and I don't want anybody worried I'm getting sick. Alright. It was self induced.

K. Far as I know. Anyway, let's see. People who finished using something and just leave it, like making a bowl of cereal and leaving the box on the side, not putting things back, milk left out. Alright.

Well, if somebody's doing that in their thirties they gotta get their life together you know you gotta put the food away okay I shouldn't say that I don't know how many times I've woke up in the morning and there's a bag of cheese sitting on the counter in order you find the ice cream in the fridge. Yeah. Yeah. In the fridge, not the freezer. Ice cream in the fridge.

Yep. Been there. Done that. People who let their children run amok. Now wait a minute.

If we're talking inside of businesses and things like that, sure. But, you know, if you're you're living in a safe neighborhood, let your kids play outside. That that's fine. Rather them be running amok than, I don't know, cooped up inside all day. And it's good to get some some exercise as a child.

K. The inevitable response of people talking on the speakerphone in public or listening to music on the speaker phone in public. I don't see that happen very often. And if I do, it tends to be like old people. And so I'm it actually doesn't bother me that much.

Music in public could because a lot of people listen to terrible music. Not everybody has as good taste in music as me, you know? But if you think I'm gonna get mad, somebody cranking up the tool on their phone in public? No. No.

I'm cool with that. The public needs to be, you know, exposed to tool. They need to. People who judge people are false assumptions about their age. Oh, you're old.

I know what you've done. Okay. So I was just checking out this video of Ghost with Frederick Atkinson from Opeth and the Eric Erickson Chamber Choir performing Bohemian Rhapsody. I was like, okay. Why is this happening?

Well, let's find out. It's because the band queen was awarded the polar music prize in Stockholm, Sweden by Sweden's King, Carl Gustaf. Man, can you imagine performing Bohemian Rhapsody in front of members of Queen? Sounds a little bit nerve wracking. And I gotta say, Tobias did a good job.

Ghost fans are raving about it. Like, it's the greatest thing that's ever happened, and it is really good. And you know I'm a ghost fan. I'm a pretty hardcore ghost fan, but I have heard a better cover of Bohemian Rhapsody, and it's no offense to ghost. And they had, like, a full backing choir and everything.

If I had to name my favorite cover of bohemian rhapsody, it would definitely be pussyfoot's cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. And, I'll I'll try to get a copy of the ghost version. It again, it was pretty good. Pretty good. But, you know, you wanna talk about vocal ability, I gotta put Maynard, you know, a little bit higher than Tobias for busting out something like Queen.

Now, again, Tobias did great, but I think we gotta listen to Puscifer. I don't know why. I don't know if it's just because the news is what it is. But for Peaches and I trying to find content lately I mean, for the last six months or so, been a little bit rough. So we've been diving into things like, the advice subreddit, and we tend to always end up in these relationship advice discussions during the noon hour.

How did we become one of these kind of radio shows? I don't know, but we're gonna keep doing it. All right here's the thread my boyfriend is way more attractive than me and it's ruining my life okay I feel bad for this person right out of the gate because they've clearly got some self confidence issues and I haven't even read what they had to say I mean, ruining my life. Wait. We we gotta find out what's going on here.

Alright. I, 24 female, recently started dating a guy I met through a friend. He's tall, incredibly muscular, rich, and very attractive. Okay. The opposite of all things me.

So, oh, good for you, lady. Okay. I mean, attractive to the point. One time we were out together, someone gushed over him and compared him to James Dean. Whenever we're out, I can see other girls looking at him, and many of them are very pretty.

I've never really been insecure in my life, but I'm a realist. I am not very attractive. I would say average at best. I try to keep myself looking presentable, but I have one of those faces that would need heavy surgery to be considered pretty. My boyfriend and I get along great when we're alone, but we're in public.

I start to feel awkward and ugly next to him. It also doesn't help that his ex girlfriend is an Instagram model. I feel like I lack something that other women could provide for him, and he could easily score a very pretty girl. I don't wanna feel like I'm in a constant competition with girls who I simply will never look like. I really care for my boyfriend, but being with him is ruining my self esteem.

What should I do? Okay. If you can't take it, just break up, but there's no reason to feel this way. He's hooked up with you. Okay.

Take this from someone. This is how every single one of my relationships worked. K? My girlfriends always way more attractive than me because have you seen me? Alright.

So, you know, I I can understand the insecurity because I I used to, have a lot lower self esteem. I mean, it's still not great, but it it used to be a lot worse. And, you know, you get worried. Like, okay. Look at me.

Oh, jeez. What does she see in me? Well, here's the thing, people. There's more than looks. Looks, you know, I mean, you need to be attracted to somebody physically.

It and it sounds like the guy is. He asked her to be his girl. Well, I don't know. Maybe she asked him, but he's he's hooked up with you. He finds you attractive.

Alright? There's gotta be a lot of different things that he sees in you. K? Because if you only hook up with people based on looks, you're gonna have a bad time. And I think as you get older, this becomes much less of an issue.

It's been fun watching, Facebook over the years. Yeah. Because I've I've come to see that a lot of my friends from high school, you know, we were the nerds, the outcasts, and things like that. Well, eventually, once people start realizing that, oh, personality is probably the most important part in a relationship. You know?

Someone who's gonna treat you good, that's fun to be around, that's funny, or, you know, whatever traits you personally look for. You know, the, the looks thing starts to change a little bit as you get older. You know? See a lot of my nerdy's friends, you know, getting themselves quite the catch because, yeah, you wanna be with someone who, you feel good around. You know?

If it's all looks, pretty shallow, and you're gonna have a bad time. Alright? It's gonna go nowhere. So, yeah. This poor girl, she needs to, either dump this guy or maybe she just needs to age a bit.

She's only 24. And I think at 24, your, you know, your outlook on what's important might be a little bit different than, say, when you get to, like, 40. Yeah. Having someone that you just wanna spend time with, that's where it's at. So anyway, yeah.

Try to not worry about your, your appearance too much. There's somebody out there who's gonna like you. Alright? But you gotta, you know, work on that personality game. That's number one.

You could be this guy, incredibly muscular, rich, attractive, tall, But if you're a d bag, well, yeah, you're gonna be lonely. Alright. Anyway, good luck to this girl. I think she just needs some, some life experience. Are you gonna go my way?

What if what if I was rocking a Speedo? Then would you go my way? I just stumbled across an article talking about Speedo summer. Are guys ready for Speedo summer? I hope not.

Come on. I mean, there's nobody out there who wants to see dudes in a speedo. Right? Well, maybe. Maybe there are, but it always seems like there's two type of guys in the speedo.

You know, you got the the big buff tall bodybuilder guy or else you got, I don't know, someone with more a body shape like mine. Can you imagine? Now this is kind of funny because okay. I've talked before about nude resorts. K.

I think they're fun. I don't think they're weird. Like, once you've gone to one, you're like, oh, that that wasn't weird at all. It's not, you know, it's not a sexual thing. It's, you know, you you're just free.

You're free. And, totally comfortable with that. But go to the beach in a Speedo? Oh, I'd be horrified. Maybe as a goof, you know?

Oh, no. Because I couldn't even do it as a goof because it'd be like, you know, the world's worst viral video that I'd never wanna see. It's hard enough for me to put up any kind of video for of myself. Let's go to the phones. K Bear, are you ready for Speedo Summer?

Speedo summer. Oh, yeah. Definitely. Alright. So, oh, good for you.

What's up? What's up? Did you already do freak news? No. No.

I'm gonna do that in, like, fifteen, twenty minutes. I have one for you. Okay. What do you got? Spotted a deer on Meridian Street in Blackfoot this morning.

Oh, that that's always interesting. I saw a deer recently on Woodruff in Idaho Falls on my way to work. Like, where did that come from? But, yeah, we do live in a semi wild area. So that's, you know, I hope it, made it off the roads okay.

Yeah. It it went into a yard that we didn't see see it, but yeah. Alright, dude. Well, cool. Thanks for the heads up, and, yeah, I hope you have a a great day.

I'll get some freak news here in a few. Alrighty. Alright, man. Peace. Too.

Peace. Okay. Back to talking about Speedos. I I've just always thought those were the most bizarre type of swimsuit, but it's probably because of the shape I've always been in. And I'm all pale.

Like, I mean, going to the beach or pool in general, I guess, I don't really go to the beach. Maybe the Oregon Coast but only complete psychopaths get in the water at the Oregon Coast. 1, because it's freezing. It's really cold. Two, sea lions.

Alright. I don't care what anybody says. Sea lions are scary. All right. Can you imagine you're in a Speedo on the Oregon Coast Beach?

You're walking around and then you're face to face with a sea lion that's like two, three times your size. You ain't gonna feel safe in a Speedo. You might be able to run fast though, faster than some baggy wet shorts. So maybe Speedo's the way to go if you are on the beach. But at a pool, you're not needing to run away.

Right? It's kinda relaxing. Why why did this article even get written? Are Speedos really becoming more popular than ever? Alright.

I'm gonna get a Speedo. I'm moving to Florida. I think if you're gonna wear a Speedo and you have body shape like mine, it's only acceptable in Florida because then you just fit in with all the other crazy Florida men, but your house might fall into the sea. Alright? You know, it's not the best place to hunker down anymore with what's going on with the environment.

I was reading an article earlier about houses falling into the sea and, you know, people having to move their houses back on the beach. You gotta pay thousands of dollars to come and have somebody literally move your house. What a hassle. No insurance, you know, that you can get at a reasonable rate. You ain't gonna be able to afford a Speedo living in Florida.

Not with that kind of insurance rate. Alright, people. I want you to come hang out with me Monday. You know, we got the post Memorial Day cemetery cleanup going on. Rain or shine, I'm gonna be out and about 8AM this coming Monday, hanging out at the Rose Hill Cemetery in Idaho Falls, doing a little bit of cleanup.

Nah. And we could use your help. Plus, I like hanging out with you, so you should come kick it. Alright? Now if you don't wanna put up with me, you can go and hang out with Peaches.

Alright? He's gonna be at Fielding Memorial in Idaho Falls. Both of us out at 8AM. You know, just helping clean up, take care of the tributes left behind after Memorial Day. So if you've got some time to come out and lend a hand, simple way to show some respect, give back.

If you're in, you know, other areas of East Idaho, you can go hang out with our sister stations. The Hawk's gonna be in Rexburg, hanging out with Teton Volkswagen. Classy's gonna be in Blackfoot, hanging out with Teton Honda, and Z103 is gonna be in Shelley kicking it with Teton Toyota. Will be kicking it with Teton auto credit. Again, if you wanna hang out with me, do a little bit of cleanup.

That's 8AM, Monday, Rose Hill Cemetery. Should be a a a great day. Make you feel good. You're doing something good. So, yeah, we'd love to see you there.

And coming up here in just a few minutes, I'll get to that freak news and all that. I got a decent pile of it, so we'll see how it goes. Back in just a second. Alright. I was yapping on the phone with listeners, so I didn't really get to read through these stories, But I'm gonna do my best here.

And, hopefully, they're good simply based on the headlines. Like, ex flight attendant caught smuggling 100 pounds of deadly new drug made of human bones. What? Alright. Now listen, people.

Don't do drugs. Drugs are bad. Okay. Especially if they're made of human bones. Alright.

What? Well, it kills an estimated dozen people in Sierra Sierra Leone every week. You know, it's kinda like that that fentanyl stuff. You know, I I don't understand why something that, you know, could kill you so easy. Why you'd even wanna give it a shot.

Hey. Where'd you get this stuff? Well, I ground up some human bones and mixed it with chemicals. Come on. Dive in.

Well, anyway, you know, they they caught her. You know, 100 pounds of the human bone drug off the streets over in London, so that's good. I swear. We, like, had a some kind of a meteor hit the earth or something, like, a decade ago and got shifted into a parallel dimension where everything's completely insane. What has happened?

What has happened? Alright. What else do we have here? Teen dies after suffering head injury imitating a social media trend where you run at each other at high speed and smash your heads together while wearing no helmets. Yeah.

If you smash your head into things, that's another good way to die. Which way would you prefer go? Ingesting the human bone drug or smashing your cranium into another friend. Listen, people. There's always something, you know, good around the corner.

Times can be rough. Trust me. I have had a roller coaster of a life it ain't worth you know cracking your dome for a few likes on social media you wanna be in as good shape as humanly possible for you know, there there's a potential that, good things will come. I mean, Grand Theft Auto six comes out in a year. So you've at least got that to look forward to or maybe, you know, more seasons of the last of us or house of the dragon.

Those are good shows. How about, I don't know. Family and friends. It's really sad. I mean, I shouldn't laugh because a kid's dead.

Let your kids know, you know, wear a helmet. Wear a helmet. K? If you wanna play the run it game as they're calling it, just wear a helmet. Alright?

Put on a football helmet, motorcycle helmet, even a bicycle helmet. But do we have any stories that don't involve, people dying? It's been pretty tough today. You would not believe how many tabs I had open. So and so dead.

This person dead. Hey. This person died. How about a duck attacking people in Florida? Alright.

Nobody died, but somebody did go to the hospital. If you got bit by a duck, would you go to the hospital? It'd have to be a pretty good, bite. Right? I've never been bitten by a duck because I don't mess with birds.

Alright. Birds kind of give me the creeps. I like to look at them from afar, but I ain't gonna pick one up. Oh, yeah. Tomorrow, I think we're gonna have the, like, snakes and spiders in the studio.

I gotta go talk to Josh about that. Make sure he's still down. They got the reptile expo coming up. Yeah. Looking like we might have some, creatures that will make me probably scream.

Just yeah. I'm you know, I'm a kitten guy, like I said. Alright. So let's let's read about this duck here. I guess, these are called Muscovy ducks.

And, of course, it's a Florida duck that is known for being aggressive, dans damaging property transmitting disease. Okay. That's why you go to the hospital. Die from duck rabies. Yeah.

That'd be great, wouldn't it? Mhmm. So, yeah, this guy just hanging out watching the sunset. Next thing you know oh. Yeah.

The duck just attacks him. So he starts, making some noises, stands up, stomping around. Get out of here, duck. And then it just comes at his face. That'd be horrifying to me.

Well, my cat gets unruly. I'm like, woah. Settle down, boy. Alright. Anything else here?

Somebody posted on Twitter. Just came downstairs to find my dad watching an entirely AI generated YouTube video about an event that didn't happen. Had to convince him the whole thing was fake. How can you tell? He asked.

He has five degrees, including a PhD. Yeah. I saw people sharing and discussing a video of Yellowstone blowing up the other day that said Yellowstone is erupting right now. It was clearly AI. It was the Grand Prismatic Spring.

You know, the the big pool that's rainbow colored at Yellowstone? It had fire shooting out of the middle of it. It was not even good AI, and people believed it. Again, how did we shift into this parallel dimension where people will believe complete nonsense? It's it's so baffling, but it's getting harder.

There was another, link that Peaches sent me earlier. It was a a post involving the front man of Skillet, And I'm like, that's funny. I'd love to talk about that, but I did some googling and could not determine it to be true. So even though it was hilarious, I did not share it. Well, can't rely on the rest of society, so I don't even know why I try.

Anyway, there's some freak news. We'll find some more, hopefully, and I hope you're having a great morning. Well, good morning, Peaches. What's up? Oh, nothing much.

It's Wednesday. Very happy about that. I'm stoked. I mean, I wish it was Friday, but Wednesday, it'll it'll do, I guess. Yeah.

It'll do. So let's see here. I was looking at this list, Peaches, of things that you see in movies that no one actually does in real life and annoys you every time. The one that always makes me laugh, I've mentioned it before, is when you see somebody in the movies use a bathroom, they just get up and leave. It's really disgusting.

You know? There ain't no wiping scenes in movies or TV. You know, they could sit down, make a, horrific, you know, like in a comedy movie where it's all over the top and they're having a bad time, stomach problems, and they just get up and leave. My favorite is when there's, like, a giant breakfast spread all across the dining room table, and then they go, I'm late for for school. And they eat one piece of toast and then get up and leave.

Yeah. Yeah. You see that often enough. Let's see what people are saying online. Oh, just groups of people in danger that alright.

Let's split up rather than sticking together and trying to help each other. Typical white people in the horror movie. Yeah. Like, why wouldn't you try to gang up against Jason? You know, five of you versus one is better than one on one, and nobody ever gets away in a horror movie.

They just get hunted down one by one because they're idiots. Let's see here. People living in places beyond their means. That's pretty common. Anytime you see someone living in a nice apartment in New York or something, Like, dude, you're a bartender in this show.

No way you're living in that place. You've seen House Hunters, right, where it's like, I'm a yoga instructor. Yeah. I I House Hunters has gotta be pretty fake. Well, I know they already chose the house before the show.

I know that was a thing. Well, yeah. And they're usually not houses that are actually, like, for sale. You know? They're just showing off fancy houses and Right.

I mean, reality TV for the most part is pretty fake. I'm a butterfly hunter. He's a yoga instructor. Our budget's $2,500,000,000. Yeah.

Yeah. I know. I'm like, who are these people? And I I hate that because it, I think, you know, makes people think that a lot more people make more money than they do. Like, I've gotten in arguments with people about wages before when I was talking in the past, say, about how, you know, nobody could live on something like minimum wage or whatever.

And, you know, I was talking with one guy one time and he was trying to argue with me that making 300,000 a year was middle class. I'm like, dude, that's like, there's gotta be like, 1% of the population that makes 300,000 a year or more. Right. Yeah. Like, no but hardly anybody makes that kind of money.

We use the, net worth calculator. What was that thing we used? The income calculator before? That determines what your percent is? Yeah.

Yeah. Like okay. Let's see. What percentage is my income? Income percentile calculator for The United States.

So let's punch in, let's just say, a hundred thousand dollars. K? Working, forty hours a week. All right. This calculator kind of sucks.

Okay. You would make more money than 74% of the population if you make a hundred thousand a year. 74% of the American population. That's insane. That is insane.

Because you you see the price of, housing everywhere. I mean, this is why you got, people like, alright. We're going back to the old ways, and we're gonna have the whole family live in the house. All the aunts and uncles and grandma and yeah. You know, that shared bed like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

Let's see what 200 in the middle of the living room. Let's see what 200,000 is. If you make 200,000 a year, you make more money than 93% of the population. 93% of the population. So okay.

What's $50 a year? Let's check that out. If you make $50 a year, you make more than 38% of the population. Still is pretty good. That is it it is.

Yeah. But $50 ain't getting you anywhere. No. Not in this day and age. That's this and you still got people that get out and vote against their own interests.

Yeah? I I wonder what it's like to be somebody like Ryan Seacrest and see the, the giant number come into your bank account, like, every every two weeks. I mean, I could only imagine. I don't even you know, I don't get excited on payday at all. It's you know?

Okay. Yay. I don't think he does either. I can pay my bills. I think he just has he's like, okay.

Thanks. Thanks for chucking onto the pile. Yeah. Oh, who cares? Right.

It's just more money for me. Maybe I'll buy another Range Rover. That's just wild, dude. That's just crazy. I don't know.

But, thankfully, you know, the general population is doing everything they can to fight to improve wages for the average person. Right, PJ? Oh, wait. We're too worried about books in the library. Which side's gonna help me?

We're too worried about the water tower. Dude, the water tower. Okay. I've had it with Idaho Falls and Ammon and the water tower. Dude.

Get over it and shut up. It's a water tower. It looks like a flashlight. That's that's the design. That's for, you know, optimum efficiency of it's not a it's not a piece of art.

K? I don't like the paint job. Who cares? It's a water tower. I would love to see us, you know, install a bunch of art in the community.

You know, we talked about the giant elk statue that they used to have in Butte, Montana. You know, putting in a giant peaches statue. Oh, sure. Yeah. Anything interesting, but it's a water tower.

K? People are so concerned about it looking like a flashlight or other things, but it has to be shaped that way. What what what do they want it to look like? Well, the people that are, like, so spoken about it, I wonder, like, what their life is like to be that, you know, just that aggressive about a water tower. I think the thing is it's just how social media is.

People gotta complain about everything. We've talked about it a million times. Well, you saw the video of me at the farmer's market, Peaches Needs a Pal. And there's that one guy who's like, I wouldn't approach someone that's on their cell phone. It's like, what's wrong with you, dude?

The video's a goof. Yeah. The videos, we make them on purpose. I I I tell Josh to go across the way and record me. Yeah.

They're either they're fake videos, people. They're fake. Peaches isn't always just staring at his phone. Alright. There were you were outside yesterday on the during, like, the same time I was on my lunch break Mhmm.

And I was eating Taco Bell in my car making a mess. And I was like, I I was gonna text you, like, dude, record me right now. I should've. Record me eating by myself in my car. Yeah.

That would've been a a great, Peaches Needs a Power video. Burrito sauce all around my mouth. You should just go wander around the water tower by yourself. I should. Yeah.

I'll post that video. Okay. We might need to we might need to go there today. Yeah. I thought that the paint job so far looked just nice and clean.

It looked like every other water tower around the country. It's got the Idaho Falls logo. What what what do you expect them to put on it? They should have put the spud king. Alright.

Never mind. Put a giant potato wearing a crown. You know how KFC has the bucket on a stick outside their restaurants? We should have just had the giant spud king on a stick. I I'd be down.

And people People have lost their minds at that too. What what a joke. A giant potato looking over us. People hated the Spud King when that was announced too. And as far as I know, everybody rocking jerseys now.

Oh, yeah. People say they hate McDonald's, but I see that drive through. Yeah. McDonald's is always packed. I don't need pass food.

They're they're too expensive for me. Alright. Anyway, I'm I'm glad you brought up the water tower because it's one of those things I scroll past, and I'm just like, people, we got real problems around here. Are you paying attention to what our state government and federal government is doing? And you do.

I I I I'm gonna get screamed at for being a lib again. So do a a social media short about people, driving with their cell phone in hand recording police cars on the side of the road and and say, what's happening on insert street name here? Because I feel like if you're driving with your phone out, you're recording with your phone, that's, that's illegal. It is illegal. Yeah.

So people so people are posting themselves doing illegal activities. Well and if you're so concerned about, well, you know, why are the cops here? Why are they there? You can buy a police scanner, can't you? I mean, I I remember people having them back in the day.

Truly, I don't care. It's like, I don't I'm not that guy to snoop in on other people's crimes. I'm just like, hey. Who cares? Don't they have a, police log, that you can bring up, like, city of Idaho Falls police log?

As long as you're not in my way when I'm when I'm trying to drive down the road, I don't care what crime you do. Maybe they don't have that in there used to be, like, a map you could pull up and see, you know, what happened, where, and blah. You know, you'd just snoop your own neighborhood. I know you can look up what kind of creeps live in your neighborhood, things like that. That's great knowledge to know.

It it is good knowledge to know. Oh, there's a guy right next to me. But thanks. Exact well, that's the thing about East Idaho. Yeah.

Every neighborhood. It doesn't matter how nice. Doesn't matter if you're up on the hill with the million dollar houses. There's convicted creeps living in your neighborhood. You know?

The map's not a pleasant thing to look at. What a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Alright. Let's talk about AI. We're all doomed.

We're all doomed, everybody. Okay. So OpenAI's latest chat GPT model ignores basic instructions to turn itself off and even even sabotaged a shutdown mechanism in order to keep itself running, Artificial intelligence researchers have warned. Yeah. How long we've been, you know, really looking at this AI business?

Maybe like a year or two. And this is where we're at already. I don't know if you've seen some of the recent AI videos making the rounds. I should probably share some of those. I downloaded a few off of I don't know if it was TikTok or Instagram.

They were just videos of people, like, at a car show. And, I mean, it was pretty hard to tell that they were completely AI generated. Every single thing in the video. The people, the talk really the talking was what gave you the clue that these weren't real videos. They didn't have seven fingers or anything like that.

The robot overlords are are gonna take over. It's coming. Seen the matrix. Apparently, twenty or so years ahead of its time. Maybe longer than that.

I like to, imagine that it wasn't that long ago, but that that was late nineties, wasn't it? They they foretold the future. Wow. Unfortunately, I don't think that the people in power would do anything to stop the robot overlords from taking over because I don't know if you've noticed this but everything revolves around money. Okay?

And a lot of people don't seem to be very concerned about the future. It's more like, okay. What is gonna work best for me right now? How can I make the most money humanly possible? There's a lot of money getting dumped into AI technology.

You ever seen that movie Don't Look Up? Oh, there's a meteor coming toward Earth. Yeah. But we might be able to mine it for rare minerals and things like that. Okay.

Well, let's try that instead of saving humanity. Such an accurate movie. I can't imagine that if there's a company out there who wants to be the AI company that they'd be that concerned with, you know, preventing AI from becoming sentient and being able to start wreak wreaking havoc on the entire planet. Not if they can make themselves a few mill right now. You know?

It's already trying to prevent itself from being shut down. Well, good morning, everybody. Good morning. Have a great alright. I'll find I'm I'm hoping to find some positive news.

It's rough news day, everybody. It's tough, but we'll see what I could find. You know, even if I have to do more stupid relationship advice or something. I don't really wanna think about the end times, you know, on a Wednesday. That's more of like a Monday thing.

You know? When you're at your lowest, it's when you wanna think about natural disasters and the end times. So alright. I'll I'll change it up. I swear.

Alright. Just trying to figure out a good way to make a little bit of spare cash. Well, apparently, you need to move to Australia. They've got some kind of a what do they call it here? Reverse vending machine system where you can bring your empty, like, cans, glass bottles, plastic containers, all kinds of stuff.

And you just turn in your garbage, and they just straight up give you money. Now I know there are ways to recycle around here, but can you still just bring in a bunch of cans, make dough? I don't I don't know if you can, make this kind of money. This guy made enough money to buy a house. I can't imagine that the rates are that high around here or everybody would be cleaning up trash all the time.

Alright. We got the cemetery cleanup coming up. It's gonna be tough to, you know, pack up garbage and then fly to Australia and have it, you know, pay off. But this is a good way to get people to recycle more. If you just take your stuff to a machine and it gives you cash, I'd be picking up garbage all day every day.

I got nothing else better to do with my time. What? Sit in front of my TV playing red dead? Yeah. It's not like I've been productive with anything creative at home.

Guitars collecting dust, computers broken. Oh, hey. I could fix my computer with enough, enough plastic bottles. Yeah. So this guy, he did, you know, put a a big amount of time into this.

I mean, he we're talking tens of thousands of recyclable containers, but still that's that's pretty awesome. Did he really get $4 in a day? Four grand in a day picking up garbage. If it wasn't for the, you know, kangaroos that beat the crap out of you like the guy yesterday almost got drowned by a kangaroo or those giant spiders, maybe Australia would be the place to go. I don't know.

Anyway, it's 09:00 already. Well, that ain't bad because I'm feeling like stop and yapping. That might be exciting to some of you. Yeah. No.

I'm not gonna stop you, Appin. I got another hour to go. You just get ready. Alright. I gotta throw out a PSA here.

Has everybody heard of a website called Snopes? Sn0pes.com. Snopes. I highly recommend this website. It's been around for a long time, and, you can go to it and find out if things are true or just made up Internet garbage.

I was scrolling Facebook here looking for crap to talk about, and I see this AI picture of jelly roll pop up. And it's a post about his $20,000,000 investment to build a paradise for stray dogs. This post has 77,000 reactions, all of which are positive. Four, let's see, 4,500 comments, almost 7,000 shares. Now listen.

Jelly Roll seems like a pretty nice guy and does do good things. You know? There there have been real things that he's invested money toward helping people. This isn't real, and it's an AI pitcher to begin with. There's, like, a million AI dogs behind him.

77,000 people. Yeah. What a good dude. Yeah. Sure.

That that's great. It sounds great, but it's not real. Snopes.com, everybody. Please. Please.

I might have to get off Facebook. I might have to stop using it. It it's so dumb. By request, Pantera domination. If you got anything you wanna hear, you can always give me a call.

(208) 535-1015. Unless the song sucks. No. I I I generally play requests even if I don't like the music. Alright.

It's kinda funny. I've talked to a lot of radio people over the years, and personal judgment will come into play a lot of times when it comes to, programmers picking songs for a radio station. That's a horrible way to go about things. And I always point out to them. I'm like, listen, Do you know the percentage of music on kay bear that I personally enjoy?

There's more than I dislike than more than I do. Alright? And I'm I'm pretty good about not letting it slip. You know, sometimes you might catch me, poking at a band or something or, you know, it might be a little bit obvious that maybe that's not my favorite song. But a radio station is not your personal playground.

Alright? You're trying to build something that hopefully has mass appeal. And nobody on the planet likes any, you know, particular band like like everybody. You look at a a huge massive band like Metallica. There are people who don't like Metallica.

I have talked to them, and I've seen them post on social media. Anyway, I don't even know what made me go that direction. What was I looking at here? I have too many tabs open, everybody. Way too many tabs open.

I was reading Snopes. I think that distracted me. Yeah. If you wanna get aggravated, it's good to read Snopes. I pointed it out a minute ago.

Everybody, please go to Snopes. But then you start looking through it, and you're like, really? There are people out there that believe all this stuff? What? Or vice versa?

There are people that don't believe all this stuff? What? Yeah. It's kind of, nerve wracking. I shouldn't look at Snopes early in the morning.

No. Instead, let's talk about this this wonderful couple in, is this Canada? I guess Canada has a lottery, and this guy is having to sue his ex because she ghosted him after winning $5,000,000. And he claims the ticket belonged to him. So it's it's kinda convoluted.

I looked through the story a little bit. You know? Guy goes and buys himself a lottery ticket, ends up being a winner. But, apparently, this guy couldn't claim the ticket because he didn't have a valid government issue issued ID. So he gave it to his girlfriend.

She claimed the winnings, deposited them in her bank account, and then she was out of there. Bam. Got oh, man. That's multiple levels of disappointing, is it not? You know, you think you're in a a great relationship, and then you got $5,000,000 to, you know, start whatever kind of new phase of your life together.

And then she's just out of there. She's out of there, poor guy. But he could be lying too. It could have just been her lottery ticket because they're fighting about it in court now. So, yeah.

He's, got his lawyer saying, you know, the Western Canada Lottery Corporation gave him bad advice. Didn't warn him of the inherent risks of giving his girlfriend the ticket. Yeah. Alright. If there's ever a time when you should irresponsibly get married, I'd say this situation.

Because then, you know, if one of you decides to just bail, you've got some, you know, legal precedent to your share of the winnings. Alright? Otherwise, you you know how I feel. You gotta wait a long time before making that kind of legal commitment. But if you got $5,000,000 on the line, I I'd say that's worth it as a, a safeguard.

You I guess you gotta really trust your, non married significant other to be willing to hand them $5,000,000. Yeah. I really hope they like you. You're thinking back. Oh, what about the one time I said that one thing?

Oh, I forgot, you know, that special day. She's gonna take the money. No. I do feel bad for their, you know, terrible end to their relationship. It gets into some, you know, other, you know, not so fun details of, you know, things that happened after, but I've I've already shared enough bleak news this morning.

I'm trying to find something positive and fun. Better close that Snopes pad. That ain't fun. Alright. I'll keep digging.

I hope you're having a wonderful morning. And, again, if you wanna hear something, call me up at (208) 535-1015. Post three day weekend sucks. Does it not? Especially if you didn't use it to rest.

I'm an idiot. K? I mean, I had lots of fun this weekend. I had a great time, but I did not use the weekend to rest at all. And I've been doing my best.

I I went to bed early the last two nights, and I'm still just a little out of whack. Yeah. Get sleep, people. Sleep's good for you. K?

Now you can't go off like four or five hours multiple days in a row. It's gonna mess you up especially if you're old. Okay. Let's take a look at something online here. Am I a jerk for always dumping lemon on all my food?

Why would that bother anybody? You should you'll be able to eat however you want. What's the story here? Alright. I grew up in a big household where all food and leftovers were fair game, even when I became old enough to buy my own food.

To combat this, I started absolutely drowning my food in lemon juice. I could tolerate the taste and even grew to quite like it. No one would touch my prepared food or leftovers. It's a habit I've carried well into adulthood. So I recently went on a large trip with some girlfriends.

The Airbnb and excursions are all evenly split, food paid for by ourselves because some people have specialty, allergies or, foods. So we've been going out to dinner last few nights. I always ask for extra lemons at the table and soak my food before eating. After a couple days in the trip, one of the girls complained at breakfast that I was making food inedible to other people. This was news to me since the only food I was lemming was my restaurant leftovers that I would eat the next day.

Apparently, one of the girls had been staying up later than everybody else and trying to get into the leftovers, just not paying any attention to the names on the containers. And she tried my food on two separate occasions, realized what I was doing, and was mad. How are you the jerk? She's eating your food. I said she shouldn't be eating others' foods that weren't communal, and she said, well, it's just how the rest of us feel.

Okay. So later while we were getting ready to go out, the other girls, one by one, told me they didn't like their leftovers being eaten and were glad I said something. Well, no kidding. So that night at dinner, I purposely lemoned my food again. The complainer made an angry noise and stormed off.

Buy your own food. Buy extra so you have leftovers. Come on. Why would this person even have to, write in and ask, am I the jerk? They should have just wrote in, am I a weirdo for dumping lemon on my food all the time.

You know, lemon goes on certain things. But again, you know what? You be you. Alright? You wanna put ranch on pizza?

Some people wanna vomit when they think of that. Sometimes it's pretty good. I put ketchup on a lot of stuff. Alright. And contrary to what Peach has said, I have never put it on sushi.

K? That's ridiculous. Though, I I think, to make sweet and sour sauce, which, you know, could potentially go on sushi. What isn't that ketchup mixed with, like, vinegar and slowly simmered till it Maybe you pour some sugar in it. Okay.

Anyway, babbling here. I think I'm gonna continue doing food stories. I'm starting to get an appetite. I haven't had an appetite for days. I don't know why.

I don't know why. It's just not been good. Having to force damn food sucks. Alright. Anyway, we'll be back.

Oh, isn't that precious? It's Creed. How's it going? It's Victor Wilt. Good morning.

Alright. We're crushing down Wednesday. It's gonna be over before we know it. Just keep powering through everybody. Man, I'm I'm getting kinda disappointed in Florida man.

I could always rely on Florida man to, you know, just do something stupid. Give me an easy topic for the show. Florida man, now it's just all murder. Yeah. Well, here this guy, you know, shot and killed, blah blah blah.

This person poisoned dolphins. We talked about that yesterday. You know, Florida man, could you just, I don't know, sit out back at the gas station preaching or something about the end times and I I don't know. Get arrested because you're you're running around nude doing the I I don't know. This is why we keep ending up in the advice subreddit Man, some of the people that ask for advice too Just like he shouldn't even need to ask Get out of there What are you thinking?

You shouldn't have to go to Reddit to get that kind of advice. Common sense. I was reading a post a minute ago. Why? I don't know.

But I was. And it was, it was titled my husband suddenly told me he wants more traditional roles. Now I watched a video on YouTube the other day about, it's a trend on TikTok, I guess, called trad wives, and it's traditional wives. And so you'll you know, you have these women who dress like they're from, like, the nineteen fifties, and, you know, the the whole household is based around living like it's, you know, leave it to beaver or something. You know?

Okay. Whatever. If that's how you wanna live your life, that's fine, but it it's just kinda weird to me. And you go, alright. You're putting this content out here trying to appear this way.

Hate to break it to you. They didn't have TikTok in the nineteen fifties. K? I alright. Let's dive in here.

My husband, twenty six, has been telling me he wants more traditional roles in our home, and I don't know how I feel about it. For some context, I moved out of my parents' house at 18, had a job at 16, always supported myself when me and my husband started dating, moved in after a year of dating blah blah blah blah blah. So what what does he want her to do? Does he just want her to, like, stay home with the kids, or does he want her to start wearing the stupid fifties clothes? Now there are times and places for the fifties clothes.

Sure. Halloween. Maybe you're deciding to do some cosplaying or, I don't know, a burlesque show. But okay. Let's see what he wants here.

Yeah. Just basically stay home, do all the chores, take care of the kids. You know what? If you're gonna do that, you might as well make the TikTok content so you can make some money while you're at it. But then if you're making money, are you a traditional wife?

Ladies, don't let dudes tell you what's a dude like that. Seriously, you be you. If you wanna work, you wanna, you know, dress with a a modern approach to your look, it's just fine. This is another one of these things where I'm reading here, and these people got married way too young. You know, they've been married, let's see, five years.

Been married five years. So they got married at 21. Alright? This is why you don't do that because your husband might go off the deep end at 26 and decide, you know, he wants to move back to living life in the nineteen fifties. And then you're stuck having to go through that legal process when you're like, I'm not gonna live with this crazy guy.

Alright? No. I'm not gonna sit home and, you know, bait goods all day. Alright? I'm not making everything from scratch.

I got hobbies. What's up, Peaches? I just got the funniest email, and you did too. Is it funny? Well, can you, can we even say what what what he put?

Let me, is it the one you were telling me about with the, Metallica stuff? Yeah. Well, I I don't know because that would be a little bit of a tease in case we do line up what he messaged us about. It did say, want a load of load? You know?

That's just a lot. We should call the giveaway that. Well, yeah. Yeah. If we're gonna give away stuff relating to Metallica's load album, win a load of load because it's a load of load.

I mean, that that's what the stuff is. That's all that it is. There's a lot of stuff that he was talking about. So listeners, maybe we'll do a giveaway. You never know.

And we won't tell you what the load of load is, but there's a load of load that could be coming your way. LOL. LOL. That's what it stands for all this time. It's interesting to see some of the stuff that's come back in popularity.

Like, I can understand vinyl because, you know, you've got the big artwork and, you know, a lot of people feel that listening on vinyl is better than listening on other platforms. But what's up with cassettes coming back? Cassettes are trash. I don't care what anybody says. Cassettes suck.

Well, they're collector's items. Not if they're new. These I don't think they are. Like, hey. I'm the only I'm one of the few people that has this album on cassette.

Like, I haven't even looked for, cassettes on eBay. I would imagine there are collectible cassettes. What would be a cassette you think might be collectible? Nirvana and Nevermind? Yeah.

Maybe? Definitely Pearl Jam ten. Yeah. Oh. Because I used to have that on cassette.

Let's see what you can get at Nirvana. Now but they put out millions of them. Yeah. Right here, you could get the four Nirvana set cassettes of bleach, nevermind, in utero, and unplugged, $32. Buy it now.

You don't even have to bid. Here's nevermind for $20. Yeah. I don't think they're worth that much. I don't but to me, just cassettes aren't very good.

Like, I remember the days of cassettes, and, you might have never heard of this item called a VCR peaches. But we have use those all the time. What are you talking about? Tapes? I would tape the, I would tape WWE SmackDown over the old one.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. And, like, if you had a tape that was a bot tape, you had to put the piece of tape over the little tab Mhmm. In order to be able to record over whatever. Now, you know, if you accent well, CDs aren't good either.

And vinyls aren't you know what? So CDs are great. What are you talking about? I'm all digital. CDs, they get scratched.

They're ruined. They're trash. Well, they're physical media. Same thing goes for DVDs. I know.

They're garbage. You go on streaming. They could take the movie right off. They could edit scenes out. They could do a whole bunch of stuff.

That's why you need a nice hard drive. And then you put it all in a hard drive, and then every couple years, you move it to a new hard drive. You know? And then it's just always in pristine you know, it it might degrade a tiny bit transferring something. Right?

But still Do you transfer a file a million times? Does it get worse? But still, your house could catch on fire. That could catch on fire. It could be gone.

What do you think burns easier? Hard drive or, cassette? Well, obviously, CDs. CDs CDs burn really well. Get it?

Yeah. Yeah. I do. I do peaches. No.

I have Ghost and Pera on cassette. I have Pantera's. What what album is it? I forgot which one is it. Did you open them?

Yeah. Not collectible anymore. They're ruined. Hey, it's touched by Peaches. It's worth even more money.

Yeah. I I don't know what I'd recommend if you wanna get into collectibles that'll actually be worth money because they it kind of, fluctuates. There was a period when nobody cared about vinyl and it wasn't worth anything. Right. Yeah.

And now vinyl very collectible again. You know, it feels good. But, also, it's probably not a lot of vinyl either because that's the thing is, you know, some people think, oh, I've got something old. It's gotta be worth money. But if there were a lot of those, you know, something like, say, a Beatles album or a Pink Floyd album, you know, if there were millions and millions of them pressed, there's a lot of them out there.

Well, you need, like, the first pressing. But even that, a first pressing of one of those kind of bands? Dark Side of the Moon, first pressing. I'm sure that's going for a lot. Let's find out.

Let's check eBay. Same with like the Beatles' wide album? Dark's well, the Beatles' wide album might be a little bit different because it had a lot of, additional materials in it. Oh, like like Beach Boys' Pet Sounds. That's a classic one.

Let's see. First pressing Dark Side of the Moon. Alright. Here's one for I'm trying to find the cheapest one because it's eBay. And that's another thing, everybody.

Just because you see something for sale on eBay for a certain price doesn't mean it's worth that. Right. The amount that somebody will actually pay for it is what it's worth. So if you wanna find out what a collectible item you have is worth, you have to look at the sold items on eBay. Find a comparable one in, you know, similar condition, and that'll show you.

Like, this person trying to sell one for a hundred $50, but then you scroll down. I mean, here's one for, $30, dark side of the moon, and it looks in good shape. Near mint condition. So, yeah, first pressing, $34.95, and that one looks pretty good. I don't think it's worth very much money.

You know, you want collectibles. You gotta find something that there's not very many of. You know, which is, you know, like, I've got collectible books peaches. Some of those, it's like there's a 50 of them in the world. So you hope down the road, some stupid horror nerd like me is like, there's only a hundred 50 in the world.

And then they wanna spend a bunch of money on it. I'm never gonna sell them anyway. You know? But unless I get real real desperate. But, I'm just gonna leave that as a chore to my children.

Oh, you want some money? Well, you better become an eBay salesperson. I feel like both of them would do quite well with that. Probably. Especially Taryn.

I feel like she would just sell it for thousands of dollars somehow. You know, if they wanna put the work in. That's it. You know? Back in my day, Peach, we had to work for our money.

Alright. You know, you kids, you can't just get some kinda inheritance. You're gonna work if you want this money, and you're gonna do it $50 at a time. How much would you hate your dad if he was one of those rich people but was like, you know what? None of this money's yours.

You gotta work for your own. Start working minimum wage. Do exactly how I did. I'd be so heated. Yeah.

It's it's hard for me to say, Peaches, because both my parents are dead and I didn't get really left much of anything. So, you know, I wonder what my parents will leave me if I get the the giant CD collection in the living room and that's about it. Well, you've told me what their house is worth. So you you sit and hide. Yeah.

I think my I think my sister might get that, though. That's the that's the sad part. Sister? Yeah. She's taking care of them and all that, and I'm out here in Idaho.

Yeah. See, my parents died, like, pre pandemic before housing got out of control. So, you know, even if they had still lived in the house we did when I was a kid, it's probably not worth very much money. I could look it up real quick. Yeah.

It's 10:06. You know? I'm not gonna read my address old address on the air. Might as well. Someone's living there.

Someone's living there, Peach. I drove down that road. It gave me the creeps. It's not related to you, so who cares? Let's see.

Not currently set for sale. They, estimated at $259,000. Oh. Pretty good, chunk of change. Yeah.

I could use $250. I could use $2.50. 2 50. That'll get you something. Right?

Corn dog. You might be able to get corn dog at Maverick. That's about all you can get for $2.50 anymore. You can't even buy a bottle of soda. But prices are coming down, peaches.

I saw it in the news. Do you know gas is under $2? Not really. That's what I saw in the news. I saw the sign yesterday.

$3.00 9. What? I saw it on the news. Gas is under $2. Where?

I'll go there. Alright, everybody. Bye bye. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show. This program is a production of Riverbend Media Group.
