The Viktor Wilt Show

Yo. What's up? It's Viktor Wilt. Howdy, and good morning to you. Tuesday, August 13th.

Looking like a pretty nice day today, high of about 78. Maybe a little bit of rain, maybe a little bit of thunderstorm action today. Not too bad. I'll take it over the relentless heat we had for quite a while there. Well, speaking of weather, looks like it's that time again.

Time for the Farmer's Almanac to let everybody know how the next few months are gonna be. I don't know why people buy into the farmer's almanac. I mean, we talk about this pretty much every year. The Farmer's Almanac, they just kinda take a look at average conditions year after year, make a prediction that's pretty vague. And year after year, people are like, oh, I can't believe it.

We got the Farmers' Almanac predictions. Like, guess what? For winter, they're predicting some snow. They also note that, El Nina is supposed to be, kicking in in the fall, which generally means a slightly warmer winter. So using, an educated scientific guess, maybe we don't get as much snow as usual.

Maybe it's a little more wet. Okay. We shall see because we've looked at this before. And year after year, the Farmer's Almanac vaguely right in some areas, but completely wrong in others. Alright?

You know that the weatherman can't really predict, like, more than a couple days out. We could see drastic changes. Like, right now, they're saying let's see. Saturday should be sunny and 90 degrees. K?

That's what's going on Tuesday morning for Idaho Falls, 90 degrees and sunny on Saturday. Now on Friday, if I can remember, we will check it and see if they're predicting the exact same thing. There's a good chance of it. It's summertime. So the chance of it being hot and sunny, it's pretty good, but it could easily rain.

We don't know. Just gotta kick back and wait and see maybe Friday. So, anyhow, I mean, I hope I hope we have a mild winter because I hate winter. I would love to not have to deal with snow. That'd be great, but I don't get my hopes up simply because the Farmer's Almanac says this is how it's gonna be.

So we'll we'll kick back. We'll find out by, April. I don't even wanna think about such things right now. I've really been enjoying walking out of the cold studios. You get hit with a little bit of warmth outside, like, oh, yeah.

It's summertime. I am not one of those people who's gonna complain during the summertime. I I know I was like, oh, the heat. Give me the heat over the cold and snow anytime. So there's your Farmer's Almanac 2024 to 2025 winter outlook.

Wintery. Yeah. I know. It's pretty mind blowing. Do you remember Boys Life Magazine?

I hadn't thought about this in probably 30 years, at least. It was a magazine for boys. Alright. And I think I had a subscription at some point or else they were just at every doctor's office in America. Because I certainly remember reading through them.

I was, you know, scrolling the Internet this morning and saw an ad pop up. Back in the day, in the back of the boys' life magazines, they had all these ads for sometimes crazy stuff. And as a kid, you're like, wow. This would be amazing. I went and posted that ad in the k Bear group.

K Bear 101 Idaho rock and metal on Facebook. This was an ad for a hovercraft for children. Alright? You can float on air. You can ride this air car around your home or school.

It floats on air powered by an ordinary vacuum cleaner motor, low cost, easy to build. It really works. For plans and photos, send your 495 to this address. It can lift £200. And I remember seeing this as a kid and being like, woah.

Holy crap. I wanna hovercraft. I wanna fly around. And why wasn't every kid on the planet just cruising on one of these? Probably because it was not not feasible.

It's not gonna work. But, these magazines had all kinds of crazy stuff in them back in the day. I managed to find a page where somebody, posted screenshots of some of the pages from the back of the magazine and some of the ads, the gifts and gimmicks that you could order. And some of it's just so funny. I mean, the hovercraft is, like it doesn't get much more ridiculous than that.

But they had a little machine put in paper, and it spits out money like a counterfeiting money device. That's not gonna get you in any kind of trouble. I remember seeing that like, oh, I want money. All I gotta do is put paper in and it'll spit out cash. I think it was essentially a magic trick.

You put a real bill in it and then you fool your friends, but that's not how it was advertised. All right. How about muscles in days? Get yourselves muscles in days, or, you know, you could always go for the, decommissioned hand grenade. Yeah.

Lots of knives for sale as well. Switch blades. Yeah. You know what? What could a, 10 year old boy use in life more than a switchblade knife?

Mhmm. This is just how it was when we were kids. Yeah. Things were a little bit different back then. Oh, yeah.

I remember this money making scheme. You could make 50 to a $100 an hour selling buttons. Yeah. You know, like, you put your favorite band logo on it and you make a button for somebody to put on their jean jacket. Easily make 50 to a $100 an hour churning these out and selling them.

I mean, these are buttons. Who on earth wouldn't wanna buy one of those or about 50? Live chameleon with free food, 395. They'll just ship it to you in the mail. A live chameleon.

Oh my goodness. I don't think you could get away with some of these ads in the current day and age. See the miracle of birth. Yeah. I I guess they'd send you a little incubator and eggs, and eventually, a chicken would pop out.

This is crazy. Anyway, there was a post asking if anybody had ever tried to make the hovercraft. Some guy posted that he did order the plans, But do you know how it said it would run on a vacuum cleaner motor? Yeah. You'd have to plug it into something.

Right? The guy never actually tried to build this thing, but it did occur to him. Oh, if I take the motor out of a vacuum cleaner, you still need power to run it. Hey, man. It lifts £200.

You just gotta get a really high powered battery, dude. Come. Can you imagine? Kids flying around on hovercrafts. Battery powered.

Yeah. This wouldn't have lasted very long once the first kid fell out of the sky when the battery went dead. Too funny. Too funny. Boys life magazine.

Totally forgot about that. I don't even know if it's still around. It might be. You you know, there are still magazines out there. I've seen them for sale at Barnes and Noble.

So you you you go check it out. Who knows what kinds of wacky stuff they're selling in the back of it now. When you were a kid, did your parents have any weird rules? Now I don't recall any in particular as I've started going through this threat of responses from people online, but I don't know as we continue to go through some of these or as we start going through some of these, I should say, as far as you're concerned, maybe that will jump start my memory, and I will recall any strange house rules my parents had when I was a child. Some kids, man, you got some wacky parents out there.

I mean, common rules would be like, yeah, don't bring snakes in the house. Sure. That makes sense. You know? But what about, things like don't make a funny face?

You make a funny face, your face will get stuck like that. I remember hearing that about crossing your eyes. I don't know if that was from my parents. Don't cross your eyes. They'll just stay crossed forever.

And that would be horrifying. You look at yourself in the mirror with eyes crossed and I'll never get a girlfriend if I look like that. I can't do this. Alright. We got user vimami saying no cutting hair at night because the witches will steal it.

Yeah. That's a good way to strike a little bit of fear into your kids. One, witches are real. 2, they're going to come steal your hair at night. Why can't our children sleep?

They're just up all night. I hear them crying in the next room. I don't know what they're so upset about. Let's see. No vacuuming at night because it will suck up the spirits.

Now would that include the witches? You know? Because maybe you would want a vacuum at night then. Or these must be good spirits, I guess. You know?

It's not like ghostbusters where, you know, that's the goal. Let's see. What else do we got here? My dad built our home with his bare hands. We grew up kinda house poor based on how much my parents sacrificed to get 5 beautiful acres and build a home, so my dad demanded we make things last, which included walking or rather waddling down the carpeted hallway edges instead of the middle like a normal person.

Because if we walk normally, the carpet would nap in the middle and would get worn out and would look trashy. Can you imagine having to waddle down the hallway? Can't mess up the carpet. Wouldn't that just make the edges come up? I would think so, dad.

Or, you know, the plastic covers on everything. You go to grandma's house. There's a big plastic cover on the couch, and you have to sit on it. I don't think a lot of kids nowadays have seen this type of behavior, but that was a thing back in the day. I remember going to friends' houses that had a plastic cover on the couch.

A couch is supposed to be comfortable. Okay. Yes. Plastic cover prevents spills from, you know, leaving a stain on said couch, but also it ruins the sitting on the couch experience. Alright.

I'm glad that thing with plastic covers on everything has, you know, passed on into the into the ethos or I don't know what word I'm looking for here. But, man, plastic covers on everything. Let's see. No one was allowed to go outside if it was raining. My mom believed it would make us sick immediately no matter what.

I do recall hearing going out in the rain would make you sick. I don't know. These are pretty funny, though. These are pretty funny. Let's see.

A friend's family had this nice house with a nicely finished walkout basement with a kitchen, main area bathroom, and 2 bedrooms. It was furnished as if it was an apartment and the entire family, including 3 kids, lived down there full time while the 4 bedroom upstairs was fully furnished, and they would only use the main part of the house if they were hosting company. It was bizarre going over there because we'd get in trouble if we tried to play in the big unused part of the house. When I asked why, they all lived in the basement. He said his mom doesn't wanna have clean it all the time, so they just didn't use their big house.

Yeah. That would be strange. I mean, I'll admit that now that my kids are gone, I do like that my guest bedrooms, they once I clean them, they just stay clean. And, like, my basement living room, which I only go in if there's guests over, it's where, you know, I got the pool table that was given to me located. That room always stays clean as well.

But if my kids showed up and wanted to go down there and play, sure. Yeah. Go use the house. Sell your house and get something smaller and easier to keep clean. I don't know.

People can be weird. That might be breaking news to you, but people can be strange. Alright. No cuss words, not even the word crap. Had to be crud.

I do recall recently pulling up the list of the most popular swear words in each state and crap was Idaho's. So I hope I don't get in trouble for swearing on the air again by saying crap. That was at least 3 times. You know, I already have a difficult enough time with my laziness when it comes to food, thus preventing myself often enough from eating well. Yeah.

It's just easier sometimes to just grab something that's gonna be ready to go. But I try to, you know, chop up and have some fresh fruits and vegetables as often as I can. Well, now they're just making it more difficult. Thanks to the American Chemical Society putting out a new paper saying washing your produce may not be enough. In fact, it's probably not.

Yeah. You know how you wash your fruits and vegetables off real good because you wanna get dirt sides and microscopic bugs and all that kind of crud off of your food. Yeah. They're saying that, pesticide residue probably penetrated the skin of your fruits and vegetables. So what you need to do is wash the the fruit or vegetable very well and then you need to peel it on top of that.

So, you know, you wanna have yourself a nice apple. Well, wash wash and scrub it then get the peeler out. This just sounds like way too much work. Who's gonna do this? Do you think there's really gonna be a change?

I got some apples at home right now. If I go home and decide I want an apple, do you think I'm gonna bust out the potato peeler? No. That's that's way too much effort. That would probably a good idea.

Don't wanna be mowing down pesticide. Jeez. We just can't win. Is it better to go organic? I don't know.

All I know is I don't need the extra work. Alright? Just wanna enjoy a nice salad. You can't peel salad. What are you supposed to do?

Bunch of, bunch of crap, I say. If you see a survey with results that say guys would be happier if they did more chores, Are you going to believe it? Well, I think right out of the gate, you'd go, no. No. Who wants to do more chores?

I figured out why the survey results came to this conclusion. Yeah. They they pulled 6,000 dudes. And, overall, guys said they'd be happier if they spent more time on household chores and taking care of their kids. But in the, details of this survey, it points out the guys would also work no more than 31 hours a week at their jobs.

Well, no kidding. Alright. If I could work a 4 day work week and then take that extra 8 hours and dump it into doing chores around my house to make it look nice, I would absolutely feel better. I mean, you could, have me out, you know, just mowing in a 100 degree weather if that's what it took to get a 4 day work week. Alright.

I will suffer in the heat. Anything to get a 3 day weekend. Man, when I got up this morning, I was not feeling coming in here. So if I could go home and do chores instead, as fun as my job is, you know, there's some things that need to be done around there. And you can always, like, take a break from it and take a nap.

I can't do that here. If I go hide in my office and take a nap, Jade's gonna give me a talking to. Peaches would tell on me. I just know it. He's not gonna put up with me being able to doze off.

I don't think I could sleep in that office chair anyway. I've asked for a cot, but they know they know I would be getting in that post morning show nap every day. What's wrong with that? Might be able to get away with it in my truck. But back to that heat thing out there.

Might as well just stay in and work, I guess. Anyway Yeah. So the no brainer. Nowhere in the article does it point out the fact that, it's very likely that the reason guys would rather do chores is because being at home is better than work no matter what. If it if work's better than home, I have been in the mind state before where I'd rather be at work than at home.

And that's when things are not good. So if you are happier happier at work than at home, you gotta make some changes around there. Alright? It might be difficult, but you can do it. You can do it, and it'll be better in the long run.

Figure out what's causing you problems that you don't wanna be at your house. Your house should be, you know, the most comfortable place you have. It should be your your zen place. Well, it's been a long time since I was able to jump on air or social media and say MTV sucks. But, man, they do.

MTV, I was unaware was still even in the music game at all, but apparently, they do still do the annual video music awards, which were a thing back in the day when people actually watched MTV. But at this point in time, I can't imagine that anybody really cares about the Video Music Awards. Hence why I'm gonna spend a little bit of time talking about it and why I posted about it on social media. I saw the website Consequence of Sound share a post showing the nominees for best rock song in the MTV Video Music Awards. And, man, you thought the Grammys were out of touch?

Whoever is making these decisions over at MTV is oblivious to what is happening in the world of rock music right now. This is another example of why people say rock is dead. Because when mainstream organizations talk about rock music, this is the type of thing they're sharing. Like, this is the best rock had to offer in 2024. And so to the average person who's not in the rock scene, they're gonna take a look at this and go, wow.

Wow. There's just nothing happening in rock music. Alright. Best rock song of 2024. You ready?

You ready here? Alright. Here are your six options according to MTV. Bon Jovi, legendary. Yeah.

Did you know Bon Jovi had a new song out? Sorry. I didn't play it on k Bear. It just didn't seem, relevant and didn't seem like it fit, and it didn't blow my mind. How about a song we're playing on z103?

Coldplay feels like I'm falling in love, which isn't even a hit on z103. It's a low tier new song. Alright? Green Day Dilemma, the one song that we have played, and no offense, Green Day, but that is stock Green Day. Alright.

It was an okay Green Day song. Didn't blow my mind. Then we have Kings of Leon Mustang, an alternative rock song. I don't think it really moved the dial. Did did you hear anything about that song?

I mean, it's out there. I think Peaches may have even played it, and it's so new, but, yeah, it wasn't really worth putting into rotation. Again, not really relevant or exciting. Lenny Kravitz, Human, another song I didn't even realize had been released. And then u 2, Atomic City.

Yes. I remember when u 2 put out atomic city, another song that, well, most people didn't really care. What is going on here? Alright. I can pull up some charts and take a look at what's happening in the world of rock and metal.

Does MTV not have access to this data? I believe they probably do. I believe they probably do. You wanna talk about the biggest rock tracks of the year? They got none of them.

They got none of them on that list. So far, the biggest rock track of the year without question is falling in reverse and jelly roll all my life. K? For songs released in 2024, you wanna look at numbers. Nothing even comes close to that song.

None of those other songs mentioned as far as the amount of people listening, people talking about it online, video numbers on YouTube. These are the video music awards. Everybody was talking about that, falling in reverse country music video. It's not really a country music video, but there's cowboys and all kinds of ridiculous stuff. This is just crazy.

I mean, you wanna throw a, a classic act out there that is doing something sort of relevant with new music? I mean, you could mention sublime, maybe. But what is going on? What is going on here? You have lots and lots of great bands that are new up and comers and are killing it.

You know, bring me the horizon. They're playing huge venues. They're doing amazing things. Even bands like electric call boy. What about bad omens?

The list goes on and on and on of acts that put out new music this year that would be worthy of some recognition, But, no, let's throw it at you 2 and Bon Jovi. What? It just makes me mad because it's like the many radio stations out there that ignore all those bands that I mentioned. They don't play them or they play them in the middle of the night. This is why rock music cannot get ahead because of out of touch people in the industry who are failing in every aspect at promoting new music that is very popular and resonating with new audiences.

Alright? I mean, I would have said sleep token, but they didn't put out music in 2024. So okay. But sleep token, that band went from playing the knitting factory to playing arenas in, like, a year. Not a peep in the mainstream about bands like sleep token.

Rock radio is still not playing sleep token. Yeah. Everybody's failing all around. And so when I see stuff like that, it just makes me mad. Like, why?

Why is MTV doing this? Well, because like we said when we were young, MTV sucks. Feels kinda good to say it again. Freak news powered by Greasemonkey voted Idaho's best oil change. I gotta give props to these old people taking classes to learn more about how artificial intelligence could affect their lives.

Yeah. Got these classes going down in places like Northfield, Illinois, where people in their sixties, seventies, and eighties are trying to determine whether or not images are real and things like that. They're learning. So could we make these classes mandatory for, like, everybody? Because we might joke about the older people getting scammed and things like that, but I've got a Facebook feed.

There are plenty of people my age, you know, of all ages that are getting duped by some really stupid things online. Otherwise, you you're sharing information that I can't believe you really expect others to believe unless you've truly been duped. So, I don't know. Maybe time to call into our legislators. You know, demand these type of classes become mandatory in the state of Idaho.

Actually, a lot of our Idaho politicians could probably use these classes themselves. Alright. So mandatory for all. Alright. Please educate yourself on fake images, fake stories.

Do what you can to try to keep yourself in a rational mind state. But, yeah, props to these old people for they're trying. They're trying, and I think this is great. Alright. Deadly sloth fever has spread to Europe at an unstoppable rate.

2 people have, gotten it. Unstoppable rate. They they are dead. Let's see. Volt had visited Cuba.

What were they? Hugging the sloths? How do how do you get it? I mean, they call it sloth fever. I don't know if it actually has anything to do with slots.

I just know it sounds terrible. Fever, headache, diarrhea, abdominal pain, muscle soreness, nausea, vomiting, bleeding. Yeah. It's not good. It's not good.

Saw it. Don't go to Cuba, I guess, is what this ultimately comes down to. Yeah. Doesn't really say what you can do to catch or avoid catching it. But I also don't think if, 2 people got it, that would mean it's spreading rate.

Gotta gotta up those numbers a little bit. Oh, come on. Let me read the article about a bicyclist falling down a Big Sur landslide. I'm not gonna pay I mean, these guys are getting desperate at the Mercury News. $1 for 1 year makes me kinda feel bad that I won't pay, but, I mean, I don't even know where the Mercury News is from.

Here. Let's just here's what you do, and you gotta pay for news. You go bicyclist big sir into Google, and then you can find another article where you can read the story here. Bikes Big Sur and a landslide from Outside Magazine. Anyway, it sounds like there was a landslide and somebody wrote it down on a bike.

They're okay, I think. I don't think they're dead. Yeah. The word survives should be my key indicator that they didn't die. Gotta be careful gotta be careful on that California coast.

And they got those, fault lines and things like that. It's a very active area for earthquakes. Landslides in the Big Sur area do happen fairly often. It's a beautiful drive. If you've never driven, you know, highway 1 on the West Coast, it's amazing, but it can be scary too.

It can be a little bit frightening. There was where there was a pretty good earthquake in the LA area, I think, just yesterday as a matter of fact. So be cautious if you're going to visit California. I don't want any of our listeners to ride a landslide on a bicycle. It it just sounds like the results are gonna be unpleasant.

Alright? Anytime you have bikes plus rocks. Not good. I know. I'm I'm breaking down some, pretty important, info you might not know.

Bikes plus rocks equals, only the most intelligent of brakes coming from this program, the Victor Wiltshire. Freak news powered by Greasemonkey back in a minute. Alright. If your neighbors are using AC, don't be a snitch. I'm glad we don't have to worry about this around here.

But apparently, in Portofino, Italy, you're not allowed to use AC. Yeah. They got a crackdown on air conditioning units, and they've just been roasting. So they got the cops going around trying to find air conditioners illegally installed by residents. And then they got a, I'm guessing, hotline.

Hey, your neighbors use an air conditioning. Yeah. You call this number. We'll hook you up with the sweet sweet reward. Jeez.

You know, let let people keep it cool a bit. Heat kills. My goodness. So people are snitching on their neighbors. He's got an air conditioner, Man, you gotta really make your neighbors mad for them to report you for having an air conditioner.

Right? I mean, most of the time that neighbors are calling the cops on you, they probably have a pretty decent reason. Not, they're trying to stay cool in there. I walked by and I felt a cool breeze coming out of the window. They weren't running a cold shower in there.

I heard the faint of the air conditioning unit. Yikes. I don't know why they are not allowing to use or allowing people to use AC. They got that Texas style electric grid or what? Yeah.

I mean, I scanned the article pretty good, but I would assume it has to do something with, the electrical grid. Right? So Texas speaker 8 full. Alright. Much as your grid sucks, at least they're not, you know, forcing you to stop using your air conditioning down in those roasting temperatures you have to put up with in Texas.

Crazy. I guess Italy, not the land of the cool and free. Yikes. Anyway, just a heads up. Might not wanna visit Portofino right now.

Sound like, very unpleasant. Nothing like a vacation where you're just sitting inside of a, you know, little Airbnb roasting. Oh, miserable. There's your question for the peach their own. What's your favorite nursery rhyme?

Oh, sure. Yeah. Yeah. Go with that one, peaches. How do I know?

The rosy. I guess that's not a nursery rhyme. It's just a song. It's about the bubonic plague. It is.

It's very dark. Very dark. Very brutal. Speaking of dark and brutal peaches, let's do it. My god.

What's with the lighting in here? That's how I like it because I'm, I'm very goth. I don't know if you're aware of this peaches, but I'm I'm very, very goth. And let's talk about gothic stuff. Let's talk about vampires.

Oh. I know you're a British vampire. Vampires. No. These are not sparkly because they're from Ohio, and I don't think there's anything sparkly in Ohio.

That's an emo song right there. Sparkly vampires in Ohio, dude. Some Midwest emo band steal that right now. He better, hit up, Chris Motionless, you know? Oh, yeah.

Let him know all that. He did say he was gonna name his the next Motionless and White album, Emo Hill. Remember that interview? I remember that. Yeah.

I don't know if he'll end up doing it. He we gotta get him that reminder. You know, it's a it's a good name for a emotionless and white album. But, apparently, Ohio, Dayton, Ohio has the largest covenant of vampires outside of New Orleans. Are you sure it's, not just people putting on fake teeth and not going out in the daylight?

No, peaches. They have a club called asylum. It's like those people that say they're werewolves. You know, I am the alpha dude. Do they like okay.

You just see you just see those cringey videos online. It's pretty fun. I have seen some pretty cringey vampire videos on YouTube. I like to drink blood. It's actually red wine, but It's water dine red, man.

Yeah. Apparently, there's a new, documentary coming out on Netflix called vampires in Gem City talking about the large coven of vampires in Dayton, Ohio. I know who will be watching that. Victor, of course. I like a good true crime documentary, especially if it's got a paranormal aspect to it like vampires.

You know, Halloween's right around the corner, Peach. It's a good time for this kind of thing. 2 months away. It's Halloween time right now. I thought about putting up my Halloween decoration.

It's August 13th. So might as well decorate early. You know, if I'm gonna put up the decorations, why only have them up for a few weeks? I should put them up right now. After Labor Day.

After Labor Day. That's that's a few weeks from now. Yes. September's September. Early September.

Yeah. What is that the rule? No Halloween decorations till after Labor Day? Premature holiday decorating. I thought that was white shoes after Labor Day.

Shoes. Yeah. Don't wear white shoes until after Labor Day or something like that. Let me Google this up. It might be a different holiday.

It's one of these old dumb things. White shoes Labor Day. There is a horror movie called serial mom where I remember this being an issue. Okay. It's a truth universally acknowledged that you can't wear white after Labor Day.

So I don't know when that means you can start wearing it again, but after Labor Day, no white clothing peaches. Just so you know. What color are your shoes? They're bright red. They got white on them, peaches.

So does your shirt. Only Oz Black clothing. We're celebrating vampires after Labor Day. You said it. Halloween after Labor Day.

All black clothes. That's right. We're going goth. Sure. Alright.

Well, anyway, just wanna let anybody know who is planning on visiting Dayton, Ohio. Why would you go there on vacation? Especially knowing there's vampires peaches. They're running amok. A large coven.

That's a lot of vampires. I don't know if you're aware. I'm curious as to where the most, werewolves are or most, Well, let's find out. Bigfoot sightings are. Where are the most werewolves in America?

I'm sure there will be, New Mexico. There's a subreddit called werewolves. Of course, there is. It looks like the Dog Man Triangle in Texas peaches. That's where there's the most werewolves.

Or beast of Bray Road in Wisconsin. You know, they they all have to have wolf like names. So anywhere where there's anything relating to a wolf, you should be very scared if it has anything to do with the wolf. Oh. It's it's very, very frightening.

I was in a local business yesterday, and, they were in fact playing the wolf. Why? And just seeing the reaction in everybody's face as soon as you hear this obnoxious voice on the ear. And I, we me and the one worker, because I was talking to her about it, and I was like, do you know their afternoon DJ? And she goes she goes, yeah.

She's the worst. Oh, no. Why don't they listen to the hawk if you want a good country playlist? I don't know. I guess the, like, assistant manager of that store only only wants country music, but I guess the the go to is that.

Why? That station's terrible. But if you need country music, everybody, if you work at a place where the boss has, you know, terrible taste in music and loves country, at least get a good country playlist by listening to the hawk. Don't listen to those other guys in town. And this was a One of them howls, the other one pretends he's from the south.

It was so funny. Let's see this big burly dude behind me, and he was like, yeah, I like that jelly roll. I was just overhearing this conversation. A jelly roll. Right.

I like that jelly roll and the good stuff there. Jelly Roll, universally beloved which is funny because No. He's not. That's the problem. It's like most people hate on him because he's just nice fat dude.

That's the Internet. I've seen the numbers. Everybody's listening to Jelly Roll. It's true. He's, like, one of the biggest names in country music right now, and he's just covered with tattoos.

It's funny because him and Post Malone are taking over country music, and they're just covered in face tattoos. Right. They look like the opposite of what, you know, you would think a country music listener is gonna get excited about. Face tattoos? What in tarnation is there?

You know? I'm hung around cowboys. How many cowboys you see with face tattoos? 0.0. 0.0 is right, Pete.

Maybe that'll be the new thing, though. Start seeing cowboys with the little teardrop. Oh, no. Not not Luke Brian doing that. Just doing all this multitasking when I should be digging up content.

It's a rainy day out there today. You guys are sending me outside. What gives? Oh. Well, there's a remote not too long ago where there was a blizzard warning.

Where do they send Peaches? Pocatello. That's right. That's right, Peaches. You get out there and do your job.

Peaches broadcasting live today out at Cutbop in Pokey, corner of 5th and Benton for their big grand opening. I'm just gonna bring that big box of CDs in there. Do it. And say pick 1. Leave one alone.

No. Do it. Just kidding. I'll just pick 1 and pick a sticker. We have lots of CDs.

So, yeah, might as well give some of them away Right. While you're directing people towards $6 bowls. I was getting one for sure. Kabap is delish. Crazy drink.

Want 1, then I can bring you one back. I might end up just going and getting one for lunch. You know, before But you have to drive to Pocatello and back then. But you wouldn't get here till, well or 3. Yeah.

Exactly. That's like the end of my day. Mhmm. I'm hungry for cup pop now. But you can't get a 6 dollar bowl at any other location.

I know. You gotta poke a tucker. Gotta go to pokey. So I'd have to pay normal price, which still ain't bad for cup pop because it's delicious. Crazy j called earlier and he's like, cutbop?

And I was like, yeah. Have you been there? No. What? He thought he thought it was ramen.

I'm like, cutbop is not ramen, dude. Kabap, you get, the delicious sauces. I think it's glass noodles? I I don't know exactly what type it is, but it's see through noodles. Yeah.

Yeah. They're, like, really good, and they put rice in it and cabbage and then your meat, and the the sauce is what makes it. The sauce is so good. They got that mandu. The, The pot stickers?

Pot stickers. Mhmm. They are so good. Just soaked in all those delicious sauces. Yeah.

My friend Bryson lives in Pocatello. I told him about it. He'll be there today. Well, yeah. How could you pass up a $6 cup bomb?

Right. I mean I might as well meal prep the whole week, pay, like, $36, get 6 bowls. Yeah, dude. Maybe I'll send a cooler with you, peaches. Sure.

Yeah. Send you a cooler. You just load me up on cup bop. I'll freeze them. I wonder if, frozen and reheated cup bop is good.

Oh, yeah. Especially that pork. You know, reheat that. Oh, man. I I like that, the chicken.

What do they call it? The, Is it the ugly bop? No. Well, that might be one of the chicken ones. Rock bop.

Rock bop. The rock bop. That oh, man. But the Mando bop, that's also so good. I like to get a rock bop and then order a big container of just Mando on the side.

Right. Be like, cover it in sauce. Yeah. Yeah. Level 6.

Oh, man. So, anyway, today today only, Pocatello location, 5th and Benton Peach is broadcasting live noon to 2. Get yourself a $6 bowl for the grand opening of Pocatello cup bop. I'm jealous. Jealous of people who can get $6 cup bop.

And a k Bear. And a k Bear sticker. You could put the k Bear sticker on the side of your cup pop bowl. Well, then why would they do that? They just throw the bowl away?

No. You put it on your shelf. It's a great decoration for your home. It's a limited edition k Bear CupBot bowl. Exactly.

You know how people save their empty liquor bottles? This is way classier than that. K Bear Cupbop Bowl? Yeah. Forget that Airwand bottle I have in my place.

Yeah. Who needs a fancy grocery store stuff? No. K Bear Cup Top Bowl, everybody. Well, I know it might have seemed like we were getting a break from people moving in, but got another article about how Idaho's one of the best places to live.

Bring them on. Bring on everybody. I thought this was an old article as a matter of fact, but, apparently not. Apparently, this is pretty new. Unless I'm just straight deja vu ing it up, I'm pretty sure I've seen this, but whatever.

Idaho, number 6 of the top states to live in here in America. Coming in at number 1, mass we we did look at this. I swear because Florida's at number 2. Now Florida, I guess, is really great for quality of life, but not so great for affordability, education. How how does this average out this way?

I don't know. And Utah beat us. I'm sorry. But Utah? I mean, the weather does stay pretty nice in southern Utah.

You You don't have to deal with brutal winter, but you're also in Saint George. Well, anyway, I'm pretty sure we've seen this already. But wanted to let you know, we're one of the best, so people are gonna keep moving in. However, you can't put a lot of faith in these rankings because like I said, Florida's way up there, Utah. You also have places like Pennsylvania, and we've looked into housing in Pennsylvania.

It's like dirt cheap. That's why it's on the list because the housing is so affordable. Right? Because Pennsylvania don't look great other than you could buy yourself a sweet mansion for, like, nothing. Wisconsin also highly rated.

I've been there. Would not put Wisconsin high on a list of best places to live having been there before. It's okay, but it's, I don't know. The Midwest is weird. It's where my my mom's whole side of the family's from.

Alright? Hanging out in Minneapolis. Minneapolis is alright. It's alright, but I don't know. Midwest, brutal winters, no mountains, tons of people.

They got you know, it it's just weird out there to me the Midwest. But I guess I'm a I'm an Idahoan at heart. Can't take the West out of me. I'm gonna get myself a cowboy hat. Earlier on the show, I was talking about weird rules people had to follow at home when they were kids.

Things like, for example, don't make funny faces because your face will get stuck like that and they'd get in trouble if they made a funny face. Or don't cut your hair at night because witches will steal it. Yeah. This is a a real comment left by somebody online. Apparently, witches stealing your hair, something that some parent out there struck the fear in their kids about.

Don't vacuum at night. It will suck up the spirits. Well, you gotta get that witch hair off the floor somehow. Anyway, as I went through this thread a little bit more, I found some other funny ones. But most of the thread was just kinda sad.

Like, oh, you just grew up in an abusive household. Those rules aren't weird. They're just terrible. But there were some legit responses to the question that being weird rules, not horrifying rules. Here's one that, I could see being pretty common.

No swearing. A lot of people don't want their kids swearing. And I remember when my kids were little and they asked me, one of them, dad, when can I say all the words? And I was like, soon as you know how to responsibly use them in situations where people are not going to get angry. Because I am not anti profanity.

Alright? That might surprise you with as clean as this program is, but I've been a potty mouth before. I know. And nothing made me laugh more than one of my little kids swearing. You ever heard, like, a a 3 year old swear?

It's funny. Come on. You could admit it's funny. But we'd have to tell no. Don't do you don't want him to walk into class and swear.

Don't want him to be at a daycare and just start swearing. So no. No. You can't say that. When can I?

I guess it became about, I don't know, 13. Gave up. But these these people here, they said you couldn't even use other words, like crap. Can't say crap. It's a very offensive swear word.

You had to say crud. You couldn't abbreviate words like you know? What a bunch of b s. Woah. Woah.

I I just heard Jade come running down the hallway because I used that abbreviation. Now it's kind of funny I had an old radio boss who told me once I couldn't say freaking on air. Like, wow, that's freaking crazy. You can't say that on air. That's too close.

Like, what are what are you talking about? It's 2 completely different words. People in Rexburg might get mad. Oh, come on. I've been there.

Give me a break. Get out of here with that. What are some other silly rules people had to follow when they were young? I mean, I've told this story before. It wasn't a rule, but my parents kept us from going into the storage room when we were little by calling it the monster room.

Said there was monsters in there, and that's just because they hid, like, Christmas presents and stuff in there. I guess at some point, they decided that was mean, though, because then I remember that my grandparents, you know, took the monsters away and threw them into the Mississippi River. That was what I was told when I was, like, 5. I mean, I don't remember being of monsters in my house, but I would imagine when you're like 3, probably keeps you out of the room. Now, again, I I don't think it was a rule.

It was just something crazy my parents told me. Makes me laugh now. What else we got here for other weird rules people had to follow when they were when they were little? Oh, you couldn't say the girls farted. That's what somebody on Reddit said here.

Had to say they fluffed. That sounds horrible to me for some reason. Alright. Fart is not a bad word. K?

That is weird. That is weird. No naps ever. This one's pretty sad. No naps.

Not in the car. Not if you were, sick. I guess the dad couldn't nap. He was a terrible sleeper, so nobody else could nap. 12 hour road trip.

No. No sleeping in the car. Jeez. Let people take a nap. It's nice living alone.

I can take a nap anytime I want. Sitting in that recliner, but most of the time, I take a nap I didn't intend to. No naps, Peaches. Did you have any weird rules growing up? I I think you've told me that your parents had some weird rules growing up.

Like, we were talking about people on here who weren't allowed to say, crap. You know, why I wasn't allowed to. Weren't allowed to say the word crap? No. Not at all.

Why? Oh, that was a big time bad word back in the when I was a kid. Crap? Yeah. I say that crap all the time on this show.

That was the number one swear word in Idaho that list we found. Look how great that rule is. Look at me now. I know. You're a foul man.

Off the air. I'm a complete foul man. How old were you when you started swearing in front of your parents? Oh. Wasn't totally like 17 or 18, 17 or 18.

Okay. All right. That's probably pretty fair. I seem to remember being kind of late teens, You know? My kids, they're foul mouths.

You know? They they they, I think, just get I gave up on trying to get them to not swear at, like, 13. Well, yeah. They're gonna do it. I feel like if my future kids are gonna swear, it's not gonna be all that crazy to me.

Well, and if you swear, you can't expect your kids to not swear. Right. You know? They copy you. They copy you.

Exactly. Which is why my kids asked me, I just said this a minute ago, They asked me when they were, like, 5. Taren's, like, when can I say all the words? Right. I was, like, you need to learn when and where you can say them, not make people mad.

I can imagine young you going. What? What? It was a great question. I was like, yeah.

I don't have a good response for that other than you need to know when and where so you don't make people mad. Kids have better questions than interviewers most of the time. They do. Yeah. Yeah.

That that's why those videos on YouTube where kids interview rock stars and stuff, they're really good interviews. Right. You know? Better than most radio DJs. How'd you get your band name?

Do you like music? I'm interviewing, Casey Carlson of Deadlands next week. I just just started doing the whole, like, what's it like being a girl in metal? No woman in metal wants to hear that question, and they get asked it repeatedly. Isn't this stupid?

Interviewers are so terrible. So terrible. Yeah. Just looking through this thread on Reddit about, weird rules that people grew up with. This one I thought was great.

Not allowed to do homework on the weekends? That sounds like a great role. But how do you explain that to your teacher? Like, if you need to get it done, then My parents wouldn't let me. Yeah.

Exactly. Because I am very anti homework. I don't think kids should have to do homework. Not at all. It's stupid.

You know, they should be able to get the work done in class. You know? Most jobs, you don't go to work and then come home and do more work. Right. Our jobs, we get a little bit of that.

You know, I'm researching. If I'm scrolling, I might be like, oh, that'd be a good story for the show tomorrow or something like that. Or Right. That's exactly what I do. You know, a little bit of brainstorming on things I could do to make my show better.

Like, I think I'm gonna bring in a bunch of my gear from home so we can, start live streaming in the studio. Good. Bring in a light. Maybe I have that LED bar that goes under my computer desk. Keeps falling down, so I think I'm gonna bring it and just put it on that desk back there Nice.

To light up some some bright LED up in here. I've got that green screen at home that just sits in my closet. Might as well bring that in here. Put it over here so that way if we record a noon hour break, you can put me in space or whatever. Yeah.

Yeah. Exactly. So I'm I'm thinking of that. So that's working at home. But kids doing homework, what what kind of, life is that training them for?

You know? All you need to do is work. Kids need to have some free time, man. You're only a kid once, and it goes by so quick. It really does.

Don't need to be wasting your time doing homework. There should be plenty of time in class for it. Yeah. And there's no need to learn half the subjects in school anyway. Exactly.

Hey, Peaches. Let me get to my algebra equations here in a minute to work on, you know, the clocks here. Give me a break. What's it called? The Pythagorean theorem?

The the Pythagorean theorem. There you go. See, I remember the name of it. Do I remember how it works? A squared plus b squared equals c squared.

Yeah. I've never used it since. I'm not an engineer. Peaches is getting loaded up. Getting ready.

Hit the road. Road trip to Pocatello from Idaho Falls. Gonna hang out with the k Bear Pocatello rock army at Cup Bop for the big grand opening. What you bringing? Well, you saw all the shirts that we have left, all the smalls and mediums.

Yes. Lots of small and medium shirts. And, bunch of CDs. I would guess you have probably 100. Yeah.

If not more, could be a couple hundred. Yeah. A wide variety, all kinds of stuff. You were rooting around in there. There was even something from the killers, which is a very metal name for a band that is not aggressive at all.

The Killers. There are what skillet should have been. I guess. I guess. I don't know.

Skelet moving more into the the killers range now. They're moving into, like, the, like, okay, generic octane core. Well, they just, you know, we've talked about it. They're just all angry. They all gotta settle down a bit.

It's no good to be angry all the time. Now, relax. Deep breath. I can't wait to see you in this moment. Can't wait to see that with, you know, Avatar TX 2.

It's gonna be a great show. I've seen Iceman kills, like, 3 times now. I mean, it's no $6 cup bop, but it'll be a good time to So noon to 2 today. No noon hour of madness and mayhem. It's peaches of madness and mayhem in Poke.

That's right. Giveaways of madness and mayhem, like a 1000 CDs and mini t shirts and who knows what else is in those boxes. You had some little Dio trading cards and Well, I have those little cabaret paper fans there too. Paper fans? Did it say East Idaho's number 1 rock station on That's right.

On a hot day, a nice fan outside. And whatever. Peaches, you know, you hold it over your head, you could block a little bit of rain. We're supposed to get, like, thunder and lightning from, like, around noon to 2. So I'm excited to see how that turns out.

Alright. Peaches hang well, you're gonna be at cup bop. Yeah. But usually, you set stuff up outside. No.

What you do is you set up inside and you you bring the show. I know you love to bring the show indoors. Not. Alright. Peaches, I expect to hear enthusiastic, loud indoor breaks.

Yo. It's Peaches on a cup of yeah. I wanna hear one of those. You'll wake up everybody in that place, Peaches. It's their 1st day on the job.

Grand opening. I'm just imagining some random lady sitting there eating her cupbop and then she hears that in the background. He walks up. How do you like that, man? Dude.

Yeah. Start interviewing random people. Yeah. Yeah. It's a great idea.

Do you like it? What do you think? What do you think? What kind of a cup bop are you eating today? What bowl you got?

Buzz what's that breaking Benjamins song? Do you like that? Do you like that? And I'm like, no. Peach is gonna be bouncing off the walls at Cut Top in Pocatello, corner of 5th in Benton.

Right there over by the skew, the college. You're gonna get just well, college is not in session yet, I guess. That's right. Unless you're in summer school. But those college kids, they gotta save money for upcoming school.

$6 cupbop bowls. Delicious. Delicious. Try the Mandu, people. I'm telling you.

It's so good. And go see Peaches. He's gonna be there noon to 2 once again broadcasting live, giving you free stuff. Before I go, share a little story with you that might make you think twice about flying if you've got, I don't know, medical issue, like head lice. It's gotta be terrible dealing with head lice.

Yep. You got creepy crawlies all over you. Oh, I don't like the sound of it. But what would make it worse? You don't know.

And you're on an airplane, and the person behind you sees that you've got lice crawling around in your hair. And then they alert the stewardess, the flight attendant, and the flight attendant tells the captain and they divert the flight, land in another city, and make everybody stay overnight. How embarrassing. You know, you you don't wanna get called out for lice to begin with, but then to have to ruin an entire plane's worth of travel an entire plane packed with people oh That's rough and I mean I get it. You're all in a confined space.

Nobody wants to get lice. It'd be like if you saw somebody with a bed bug crawling around on him. So Yeah. I don't I don't know. When we were in school, you know, they'd check everybody.

Might wanna just meet up with your family, part the hair, be like, okay. Looking good. Because how horribly embarrassing would that be? Feel bad for these people. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt show.
