The Viktor Wilt Show

Well, hello, my people. Morning, and welcome to the Victor Will show or evening or whatever time it is you're listening to this if you're listening on demand. Right now, it's morning, and it definitely feels like it. Jeez. Well, I guess to start the show, might as well address a post that I've been interacting with on Facebook.

It was in the life in Idaho Falls Facebook group. Somebody posted, you know, complaining about country music on z one zero three. And, you know it was a person about my age and over the years the type of music played on z one zero three has shifted based on current trends like back in the late nineties you might you might not remember this but you know, rock was a lot more mainstream. So back in the late nineties, there was a lot more rock music getting played on z one zero three. Then things shifted, kinda went into the, you know, really poppy and dance y stuff, which Z's always played, but rock kinda as far as in the big mainstream, it just kind of fizzled out a bit, you know, which sucks for the bands, but I think it led to more innovation.

And now we're in a great state as far as the world of rock and metal goes. But anyhow, z one zero three is a top 40 music station. It's not a pop station. It's not a dance station. It's a top 40 station.

Plays all kinds of music, hip hop, rock music, pop music, and as of late, within the last couple years, country music. Yeah. Country music right now is the most popular it's ever been. And for people from the nineties or, you know, most of us are from the nineties, but for people who are, you know, maybe in their teens or older, you might think back and be like, oh, country was the biggest it's ever been in the nineties. Well, you did have, you know, Garth Brooks who was, you know, a phenomenon in that in that music space, you know, massive.

But I I don't know. I think, some of these newer country artists, Morgan Wallen, for example, I mean, they've gotta be at that same level. And then you've got big popular pop artists shifting to country like Post Malone, Chapel Roan just put out a country song. These are like you know, I mean, if you listen to Morgan Wallen, that is pop music. Alright?

A lot of modern country is pop music. It, it doesn't sound like the nineties country music, which I've talked about nineties country music before. In my personal opinion, nineties country music, it's not good you know it's something about the the tone the vibe I just don't dig it I think there's way better country music out nowadays than there ever has been and I'm not the Morgan Wallen guy You know? I'm more into the, they call it, you know, outlaw or red dirt. You know, your Sturgill Simpsons or Billy Strings, Colter Wall, Jason Isbell, that kind of stuff.

Good stuff. Quality stuff, Cody Jinx, who's coming to town, by the way. Anyhow, I I dove in and started explaining like, hey. You know, z one zero three just plays what's popular and country music is massive. You know, if you're gonna play the most popular music, you have to throw some of those songs in.

And, you know, when a staple artist from the format like Post Malone's putting out country music or Chapel Rowan, you kinda have to play it. So I pulled up the list of the most popular songs in East Idaho. Yes. I have access to that kind of information. I can see what artists, what songs are getting listened to the most on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, etcetera.

So not even just, you know, talk about what radio stations are playing the most, but what people are actually listening to the most. And, I mean, I'd say, jeez, looking at this list here, about eight out of 10 songs that are popular in East Idaho. The most popular music, country music. It just is. Sam Barber, indigo, one of those songs we play on z one zero three.

That is, one of the most popular songs here in East Idaho. Then you got big x the plug all the way. That's another, you know, it's a country rap song. It's like half country, half rap. Shaboozy, good news, more, pop country.

Shaboozy tipsy, pop country, Thomas Rhett, something bad a woman, country, Cody Johnson, I'm gonna love you, country, Morgan Wall, and just in case country. Now you got a few pop artists floating around in there. I mean, Alex Warren's kinda got a southern vibe at times. That's the most popular track in East Idaho right now. But then you see, you know, some lady gaga, some Kendrick Lamar, Benson Boone.

But for the most part, East Idaho is listening to country music. So it would be foolish to not play pop country music that is the most popular music in East Idaho on z one zero three. K? I not busting out, I don't know, Cody Jinx, but yeah. Just go listen to some Morgan Wallen.

We've we've pointed out Morgan Wallen on the show before. Definitely pop music. Alright? So anyhow, I thankfully it ended up being a, a pretty reasonable discussion as things, you know, sometimes are not when it comes to the Life in Idaho Falls Facebook group. But yeah, I just figured I'd try to explain it a little bit because I know most people think about z one zero three as being a pop station, but if you look at the history of top 40, it's, you know, just a format that plays the most popular music whether that's rock, hip hop, dance, or even country.

It's not a specific, you know, genre as far as how you program that type of station. So it is what it is, and country music's bleeding into every format. I mean, we've had discussions about it on k Bear because there are country artists putting out rock songs, like Jelly Roll, Hardy, you know, and so on. And there are other artists that blend in these country flavors into, you know, sometimes weird progressive music, like, Bill Murray, for example. Definite country vibes at times, but you're not gonna hear hear Bill Murray on a country station.

And when these type of tracks are super popular, we kinda gotta gotta play them. We've done polls on them. Like, what was the name of that one female artist? Royale Lynn. You know, definitely, country vibes, but when we pulled it out, you guys wanted to hear it.

It you know, at least half of you. And that's the deal with radio. You're not gonna like every song. I certainly don't like every song we play on k Bear. I I don't.

And a lot of radio programmers will program that way. I think this is a crappy song. Well, that's your personal taste. K? If every song I didn't like, I just didn't play, do you know how how boring our playlist would be?

I mean, not to me. It'd be great. But a radio station is not supposed to appease one person you know you kind of need to draw in everyone so you have to play a little bit of everything because everybody has different taste in music anyway that's what was going on on Facebook. That was my recent Facebook argument. I I wouldn't even call it an argument.

I just was quick to dive in and defend my programming on z one zero three. It was an attack right on me. They even said music directors sometimes make mistakes. Oh, how dare you? How dare you?

Let's take a look at a post about smells at concerts. Everybody loves the smells at a concert. Right? Ew. But this one's surprisingly not that kind of smell.

Yeah. Not body odor. No. Alright. This person posted, not using a throwaway because I hate myself, I guess.

Posting from their own profile, letting you know about their stink. Alright. They said, last night, my friend and I went to a concert an hour away. We got there early and decided to get something to eat. We shared some spicy Korean fried chicken and a panini.

Get to the concert and about an hour in, I thought the smell, a straight up sausage and bell pepper smell, was my friend burping or something. Little while later, the smell comes again. I'm confused. We were talking. She didn't burp.

So I'm like, okay. Someone else is, probably burping or, maybe they snuck some bell peppers in. Smell is so random and brief, but so consuming. Time passes. The smell appears once more.

She says something along the lines of, I keep smelling bell peppers. And I'm like, me too. We had a laugh when we were finally able to hear one another leaving the theater and head home. All is well, writing this now the day after, the smell was me. I just farted.

And, yeah, I was shocked. Spicy food can upset my stomach sometimes. And TBH, I don't think I even fully noticed I was slipping out farts at the function because I was so overwhelmed. And when I did discreetly let one out, I did not imagine it was that smell somehow. You know, if only farts always smelled like just, you know, fresh vegetables.

You know, a fresh bell pepper smell. Usually, that's not how it goes. Man, the the funniest fart I ever saw was at not a concert but it was at the knitting factory in Boise. And you're probably going, what do you mean fart you saw? Let me explain.

K. We were at a, a wrestling event for little people. Alright. You know what I'm talking about? Very entertaining.

I went there with my my homie. His name is Nick. I talk about him on air often enough. I don't know if he'll listen to this, so he he wouldn't mind if I threw him under the bus anyway. So we're in the crowd, and I think we had a pretty good meal before this this event.

And Nick ripped out the nastiest fart ever. I mean, it was vile, wretched vile. And the reason I said the, you know, craziest fart I ever saw was because you could watch the fart travel through the crowd. K? You could see when it reached each person in the crowd and their face twisted into, you know, a grimace of pain and oh my goodness did we laugh.

Oh, I I'm I'm sure I've laughed that hard but have I ever laughed harder? I don't know. It was hilarious. So sometimes a fart at a concert, you know, as rude as it is, it can be really funny. Really funny.

Well, anyway, there's some fart talk for you. Fart talk one zero one. Well, guess time to bust out the conspiracy theory music. This White House says it has tech that can manipulate time and space. Oh boy.

Yeah. Apparently science advisor, Michael Kratios. I I don't know how you say his name. Sorry. Has gone viral after a speech in which he claimed US technology can manipulate time and space, prompting online speculation.

Well, yeah. No kidding. What does he mean by that? Now they haven't issued a formal clarification, but, you know, they're they're saying in these articles I was looking at that he was probably using metaphors, you know, referring to the transformative nature of modern innovation, not literal manipulation of space time or the invention of time travel. Well, do you think if they could manipulate time and space, they would tell us?

No. They wouldn't tell us at all. It's just like like aliens. I'm surprised they've said anything relating to, oh, we don't know what certain crafts are. If they actually knew aliens were out there, they wouldn't tell us people would panic.

It would, you know, upend reality as we know it. It's kind of like if an asteroid was going to crash to earth and destroy the planet. I don't think they'd tell us because of the panic that would ensue afterward. So this is what the guy said, our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow, and improve productivity.

Alright. Yeah. I think he was just trying to be grandiose, but anytime I see the government say something like, yeah, we can manipulate time and space. It's like, well, is that why everything's been so weird for about the last, I don't know, fifteen years or so? Now things got really strange.

Don't you wake up some time ago? What happened? What is going on with our world? Why is it so crazy? Because they're tinkering with time travel.

Ain't you ever seen back to the future? Back to the future. It was a warning. You can't interfere with the past or the future. Alright?

So I would like to officially put my foot down and say I'm opposed to the government attempting to manipulate time and space. K. They can't do the, like, normal things we need them to do. Right. So, yeah, let let's go ahead and avoid time travel.

I just turned out a YouTube reaction video to a new Morgan Wallen and Post Malone song. You'll have to hear the song if you wanna check out the video, but I did upload that to YouTube. It was okay. It was okay. You know?

I'm I'm not big into Morgan Wallen. You know? Just not my thing. Alright? But I figured it's gonna be a popular song, so I should react to that video because, hopefully, it'll get us some YouTube action.

Yeah. Did you ever, checked out the Kay Bear YouTube channel? We post stuff, interviews, song reactions, dumb garbage. Kay Bear one zero one RMG is the channel you're gonna be looking for and, you should go check it out. You should subscribe.

You should, you know, give the videos a like, blah blah blah blah blah because we can always use the old support. Alright? Gotta take over the world and to do so, kinda gotta take over parts of the Internet as well. So hopefully, it drives people to listen to the radio station. I see people just constantly complaining about their local rock stations, and I try to tell them, hey.

We have a free app. Yeah. You can just fire us up. Stop listening to that garbage. But I need to work harder.

I need to work harder. I need to churn out more content. Actually, what I need to do right now is work on finding some freak news. So I will do that, and then we'll come back in a few and we'll get into the dumbest news of the day. Well, probably not the dumbest news of the day.

Unfortunately, now the dumbest news of the day is usually related to politics and people are so psychotic. I've I've just given up on, you know, bringing pretty much anything up because people are just too crazy. So for those of you who don't enjoy when I slip in a little bit of a political matter, I think you're gonna be pretty good for today at least. Alright? You've exhausted me.

Alright. Back in a few with that freak news. Hang on. Okay. Looks like we've got a decent pile of freak news today, so let's go.

Let's party. The Virginia state flag has been banned in Texas. Well, at least at schools. Yeah. It's a very inappropriate flag if I've ever seen one.

You've got what looks like this some type of a warrior, female warrior with, a robe on, I guess, more of like a toga holding a spear. And this is a cartoon style graphic. You know, like when you see a state seal, you know, they're they're drawn. They're not pictures. But there's one exposed boob.

Oh, no. Not the evil boobs. Oh, the hypocrisy when it comes to boobs is just so ridiculous to me. I don't care what anybody says. I just don't buy it.

That there is anybody out there, anywhere who is offended by boobs. Okay. You know, anytime the topic of, you know, boobs comes up, you'll see these arguments like, okay. You know, the ladies can't be wandering around topless in public, But, you know, if they're feeding a baby, it's okay. Okay.

What's what's the difference aside from obviously, you know, babies need to eat to survive. We get it. It's still an exposed boob. If that doesn't bother you, why would one without a baby attached to it bother you? You're lying if you say that it does bother you.

So, anyway, this is a a cartoon state flag. But, apparently, you know, that might, just destroy the minds of the children, So we gotta go ahead and, ban that. It's with the banning everything in this day and age. Can we, like, you know, maybe do a reversal on that rather than banning more stuff? Maybe we, do the opposite?

Remove useless bans on things? It's like the FCC radio language rules and broadcast TV rules. Fire up YouTube. You can hear every kind of vile thing you could ever possibly imagine. Find fire up Spotify.

And fire up anything on the Internet. Okay. Anyway, I don't really feel the need to swear on air. I I don't know if I could ever bring myself to do it even if it was legal. But it's still it it's just so silly.

It's so silly. Alright. So anyway, beware the Virginia state flag. Speaking of banning things, in Fredericksburg, Texas, Texas is just banning stuff left and right. They're like competing with Idaho.

Oh, we see Idaho banning everything imaginable. What can we ban? Alright. Virginia state flag. How about this cat at the library?

Yeah. Fredericksburg, Texas. Funny. Wasn't it just like two minutes ago? I'm like, I'm not gonna get anything political.

Alright. Well, when it comes to banning stupid things like cartoon boobs or cats, I'm gonna go ahead and bring it up. Yeah. They had a cat that was, a rescue cat that everybody loved at the Pioneer Memorial Library. But I guess the, county commissioner's court and a judge decided Pepper's gotta go.

I'm looking at a picture of Pepper here. Cross eyed cat. Very cute. Jade. Alright.

You remember when we had, a mouse on the loose here at the, at the building? Yep. There's something wrong with that mic, by the way. When you moved it, it went well, don't continue to do it. No.

I was just do what I want. I was just talking about Texas, banning a cat from the library. Now we have this cat that would, you know, take them have those evil creatures getting too smart. Oh. They're already plotting death of all humans.

That's it. They didn't want them to read those evil books. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Go back to being the guardians of the underworld. Can't let them get too smart. Yeah. I figured, you know, keep the the mice away. Mice chew up books.

They drop dookie all over books. Mice are bad for books, man. When I had my books in a storage unit for a little bit, I was scared to death that that I was gonna find them chewed up and covered in mouse turd. But, thankfully, that didn't happen. So, anyway, Pepper's been banned.

Cartoon boobs have been banned. I I always hear the the boob thing. Well, they're they're very offensive. You know? What's the difference between that and a a fat guy doing shirtless?

Yeah. There is none. It's the same thing. It's the exact same thing. It's so ridiculous.

So ridiculous. That's why you can't wear, not wear a shirt outside. I'm gonna take my shirt off right now. No. Please don't.

We don't have a license. I didn't see a shirt or a sign that said no shoot, no shirt, no shoes, no show when I walked in. I'm about to put one up. No. Come on.

We've already got the no food, no drink rule. At least let me No. Sit here and do it. Fat guys in the studio. Have you ever done a radio show shirtless?

Oh, yeah. Okay. One of these days when no one's in the building, I'll just strip down completely. In the old building where, sometimes the the air conditioning didn't work very well. Oh, over there in Blackfoot, It's extremely hot in there.

So you just took it all off. Oh, yeah. I bet that felt pretty empowering to do a radio show naked. Granted, I was the seven to midnight guy or the weekend guy, so it didn't really matter. Well, you know, the only people that would really have to put up with it would be Josh and Chantelle if I did it between six and 8AM.

Ain't nobody wanna see that. Just speak for yourself. There's gotta be a few out there. I it wouldn't be a good sight. Wouldn't be a good sight.

We'll continue on talking about naked people, I guess. Got a naked man in, China arrested after injuring three police officers during an arrest. I think if you're naked and you can actually injure three police, that's kind of impressive. Have you ever tried to fight naked Jade? No.

Yeah. Yeah, dude. Sounds terrible. It does sound terrible. Frightening.

You'd you'd think it'd be pretty easy to take out a naked man. Now the question is, have you ever tried to find a naked man? Okay. I think that's equally terrifying. Now I have had to deal with unruly naked men before.

You remember my friend, Joe? RIP to Joe. Joe liked to take his clothes off. Alright? It was just what he did.

You know, he'd be hanging out. Next thing you know, Joe would wander out from the other room, no clothes. And, you know, depending on the the amount of beer I've had a couple friends like that too. Like, Joe, it's 3PM. Go put your pants back on.

Jeez. But, yeah, thankfully never had to fight him. Like, hold down a naked man. Settle down. Stop it.

You know, if you know if they're all, like, sweaty or something, they'd slip out of your hand. It'd be nightmare to try to deal with an unruly naked man. Better move on from the subject. I don't know. It's kind of fun to talk about.

Alright, everybody. I'm gonna find out what work Jade's got for me, and we'll be back. Alright. If you're gonna have a medical procedure done, you should make sure to do that at an actual doctor's office. If some guy claims to be a surgeon and invites you to his home to remove your butt implants, yeah, don't go.

Alright? So don't do it. You might end up dead like this 31 year old New York City woman. Had an unlicensed surgeon botch a procedure to remove her butt implants. I guess he injected her with, where is it here, lidocaine and, caused her to go into cardiac arrest, and she dead.

No. She was removed from this guy's house and taken to the hospital and, yeah, didn't end good. Lidocaine toxicity. Now plastic surgery of any sort, gonna be expensive. I'm sure getting your butt implants removed is expensive but there are just certain things you can't go for the discount route.

K? Medical procedures very high up on that list of things that you don't want to have done at a discount in some guy's, you know, spare bedroom. It's a sad story. You know? You don't wanna leave this planet early trying to get your butt implants removed.

I mean maybe don't get the butt implants to begin with but you know what? To each their own. You want to modify your body. I'm all for it. It's your body.

You do what you want but just try to do it in a safe and logical way. Okay? I mean, I'm looking at the mug shot of the guy. He he looks friendly but friendly people can be dumb. Alright?

They can be lacking in the necessary skills to remove butt implants. Alright? So just keep yourself safe. Like, just use your head, people. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show.
