#0307 - France Wants Babies, I Want A Nap, The Elephants Want Blood - 02/12/2026

Well hello, here we are Thursday, it's me, Viktor Wilt back in here doing it live. Freshly returned from Salt Lake City, not a lot to report from that one. Good times, always a good time going to a ghost show.

Then the long, long drive back, Jays. Had a nice relaxing afternoon yesterday though. Kicked back, watched the old school horror movie Wrong Turn with Becca and that was good. And then we went to bed nice and early. Ah, felt great to get to bed nice and early. I could have kept sleeping though.

Still could have kept sleeping. Hopefully can catch up over the next couple days, at least two days to the weekend and then as far as I know, nothing happening this weekend. I hope not. I hope there are no plans, maybe I can actually clean up the house a little bit, it's a disaster.

Complete disaster zone. But that's alright, it happens. Just gotta get cracking on it. So as for today, I don't know, I haven't dug in the news from the past couple days. I was thinking about exercising my brain a little bit here to wake myself up. Got a thread here, what's the line from a movie that everyone will know what the movie title is just from here in the line. And, you know, I don't remember things very well. So this could be a good brain exercise to get us going for the day.

Alright, let's see. Welcome to Jurassic Park. I'm pretty sure that sounds familiar. Come on guys, you're gonna make a line like that.

We all know the Harry Potter movies, alright, come on. No. What else do we got here?

Run, Forest Run. I don't know if you should have lines that have one of the words in the movie and it makes it too easy. Alright, I've had it with these blank snakes on this blank plane. A fantastic movie, it's so much fun if you've never seen snakes on a plane.

But again, they had snakes and plane in the quote. Come on. Alright, here we go. You shall not pass.

There we go. We finally got one that doesn't have the name of the movie in it. Well, and that's kind of a trick question because which Lord of the Rings movie is it?

I am not sure. It's been a while since I watched the old trilogy. Okay, I see dead people. We all know about the sixth sense, right? Now, the movie disappointed me when it came out. You know, if a movie has a twist, don't let everybody know, oh wait till you see the twist because then I'm looking out for the twist the whole movie and then when that ended up being the twist, I'm like, that's the twist. I thought that was obvious, the whole movie.

What? Wilson! Poor Tom Hanks. Never thought you'd get sad at a scene where a guy loses a volleyball.

Now, here's Johnny, classic. Is that line in the book? The shiny? I'm not sure.

The book's so different from the movie. Can't remember. Oh man, tis but a scratch. See we all know that one as well, right? Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Oste la Vista baby, that is the Terminator, right?

Or is that Albee Back or is it both of them? I guess I've seen a lot of movies or else I've seen a lot of very popular movies. And actually, yeah, they're right.

Line from a movie that everyone's going to know what the movie is. They did do a pretty good job with those, ultimately. Some of them again, too easy. But alright. Gotta get myself woke up here. Feels like a Monday. Ugh, I got this annoying email this morning.

I may or may not get into that on the show at some point, but I was very irritated to see it this morning. I hope it doesn't feel like Monday to you. I'm so glad that it isn't actually Monday, but jeez. Feels like I've got a long week ahead.

Thankfully I don't. Well, at least the weekend's right around the corner. Maybe I can work on some hobbies. I think before hobbies I need to clean up my house, but I was just looking at posts here about skills everyone should learn, but most people don't.

Alright, that could be something to work on. Skills I should have, but I don't have. Let's see if I got these skills. Communication skills. Conflict resolution skills.

Basic math. I think I've got those things down pretty good. I'm pretty decent when it comes to, you know, conflict resolution.

Communication, I don't know, it depends on the day. You've heard me just bomb and flub and stumble over words and... I'd say I'm decent at it, though.

Give myself a C. What other skills should everyone learn, but according to this, most people don't. Admitting when you're wrong and apologizing, even about small things that don't matter, many people cannot say I was wrong. I am certainly good at apologizing, I think. I'm always pretty willing to admit when I am wrong, when I make a mistake, because I do it frequently and I am sorry about it.

You know, my bad. I try to not do it again. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Let's see. To give first aid. I mean, if we got to put on a Band-Aid, sure. I should probably learn some better first aid skills.

Budgeting, I should probably work on that, too. Tend to just go, all right, I'll just end it. Let's order out again, because I'm too lazy to cook. I'm tired. Hopefully today I'll be feeling energized to do some kind of cooking. Now, basic do-it-yourself repairs at home.

I guess it depends on the item. I usually call JD and go, help, help. And then sometimes I learn stuff and later on, I'm better at fixing things. Critical thinking, I do think I'm pretty good at that.

This one in this day and age is something I think everybody should work on. Media literacy and understanding the difference between fact fiction, opinion and propaganda. Geez, most of my Facebook feed needs to work on understanding the difference between fact fiction, opinion and propaganda.

That's just pretty much what Facebook is anymore. A big goulash of that. All right, we got somebody calling. Let's see what they want. Kay, Bear, you were live on the show.

Keep that in mind. Who's this? Dusty. Dusty, what you got for a skill everyone should learn, but most people don't.

I know. Hey, just let all the listeners know if you're going southbound right by McCammon, a horrible wreck, multi-car pile up. And I heard they just shut it down, so southbound is close when I got out of it.

Okay, thank you Dusty for the heads up. All right, everybody, southbound I-15. And the fog is horrible. Like, literally after McCammon, I had to do maybe 30 miles an hour.

It's that bad. Okay, so people, situational awareness, a skill people should work on. Be aware, conditions out there could be slick, foggy, especially if you get in some of those higher elevations. So, yeah, thanks for the heads up Dusty and be safe out there, man. You're welcome. Hey, thank you. Right on. See you, man. Bye-bye.

Peace. Yeah, on my way in to work today, even in town, it was foggy in Idaho Falls. And where there be fog, there could be slick. So please be careful on the roads, everybody.

I hope that whoever was involved in that accident is doing okay. Give yourself extra time getting to where you need to go today. Take it slow. Make sure you got your headlights on, things like that so others can see you. Oh, I hate fog. There was one time my car died on the freeway in the fog, like right over the crest of a hill. And I was terrified that somebody coming up from behind wasn't going to see me and just smash into me.

Fog can be pretty, pretty terrifying. All right, I'm going to take a break, see what else we could find to talk about. But I'm here doing it live and we'll be back.

Coo. Oh, we haven't done one of these in a while. Let's go ahead and cue the outrage. Now might be a really good time for you to get angry.

That's my secret, Kat. I'm always angry. All right, what are people mad about now? Apparently still the Super Bowl halftime show. Yeah, a congressman apparently wants an investigation into the bad bunny halftime show over widespread twerking.

No, no, not twerking. Oh, um, I watched the Super Bowl halftime show. I mean, I didn't like intently watch it. It was on and yeah, I saw people dancing. Um, was there twerking? And is anybody actually bothered by twerking? Wasn't Shakira one of the halftime show like guests a couple years ago?

Isn't her whole dancing stick like serious twerking? I don't recall people getting mad about it, but maybe they did. Maybe they did back then. Oh, not twerking. Oh, we got somebody calling.

Do I really want to deal with this? Okay, let's find out. Okay, Mayor, what's up?

You're live on the show. Please keep that in mind. Oh, okay.

Sorry. Just so morning, um, I know twerking is how I got through community college. All right, let's just get that out there.

It's not bad. Okay, I've seen you do it. I've seen you do it. Um, I was putting an eye out.

There was probably video of me online shaking my booty somewhere. So back in 1997. Anyway, um, so what I was going to say is that the same people that are mad about twerking are the same group of people that don't mind seeing the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, you know, doing their special dances and their routines and they're wearing nothing but, you know, like little tiny shorts and stuff.

Or the people that, you know, needed their own water fountain back in the day if you catch the drift. Um, all right. All right, I dumped out a part of what you said, but you are correct on, you don't see people complaining about meeting investigations into cheerleaders. You're right. And I'm pretty sure they are. They're shaking it a little bit.

Yeah. But if they really want to be offended by that kind of an action and say, Hey, that's immoral. Um, I don't know if they've ever seen like the television in general. There's a lot of things that we choose the outrage for.

And this is just, you know, one of those simple things like, Oh, well, you know, bad money did things that I don't like because, you know, skin tone may have been the only difference between when he did it and when somebody else did it. And we just had to tell those people to go play in traffic like, honestly, play hopscotch, brawl or whatever you want to do. Oh, geez. I go play in traffic. All right. Settle down.

We don't want to wish anything bad on anybody, but it is ridiculous. And they were talking about like lyrical content and things like that, but pretty sure they had, um, it wasn't like Ice Cube and Dr. Dre and Eminem a few years ago. Um, artists that do have some questionable lyric content read pretty much any Sabrina Carpenter lyrics.

I'm sure nobody would have complained about her being on the show. Uh, I mean Kendrick Lamar last year said some pretty choice words direct to the camera. Uh, yeah, I think music in the modern age. I mean, I've been hearing about all the music going to corrupt everybody since I was a teenager. So, well, I mean, they used to burn, they used to burn Beatles records in the streets. So, right? Yeah, this, this isn't anything new. As an adult, as an adult, I learned about what they did back then.

Like the Beatles really the most mild and vanilla, um, rock music ever. Pure evil. I respect that they did, but you're evil. Back then, yeah, people saw them as evil because they had different lyrics.

You're like, listen, you need to relax. Actually, who's the original twerker? Isn't Elvis the original twerker? Do you really want to go into Elvis right now?

Okay. Yeah, we could, we could stay out of the unwholesome world of Elvis. That's for sure. But, uh, I think people just need to get over it. 142 million people in America tuned in for it and 5 million tuned in for the alternative. And I think that speaks absolute volume. I think so.

Something I labeled myself. I'm trialing, well, technically, and it was a good show. It was wholesome.

There's nothing bad about that show. Just because somebody didn't understand it doesn't mean that you were being attacked. And if you want to understand it, educate yourself. That's it. Yeah, and I'm sure that the American Dream. I'm sure you edited the content of the lyrics for the live broadcast. You know, I know that, because I program music on Z103, like Bad Bunny can have some, you know, foul songs, but I would imagine they still edited that just like all of the other artists did for this broadcast. I just hope that next year they have Shakira back because them hips don't lie.

Them hips don't lie. Well, good to hear from you, man. Alright, I'm going to let you go. Alright. Have a good day.

Hail Hydra. Peace, man. So anyway, yeah, I mean, there's a lot to be frustrated with in the world. Um, this seems like a distraction. Alright, if you want to get outraged, plenty of other stuff in the news you could get outraged about, not, you know, a little bit of twerking.

Nobody's bothered by twerking. Things that people say were the biggest red flags they ignored and regretted. Alright, I would assume most of this is going to be relationship stuff. But you want to get yourself in a nice good relationship. It can be difficult, but it can be done. And, you know, some red flags, you should, you should certainly not ignore them.

Alright, like this top answer here. When someone shows you how they handle anger early on, believe it the first time. Now, uh, if the first time somebody gets angry, things start flying.

I don't know. Lots of screaming. It's probably going to be like that every time.

So, yeah, seeing how disagreements can be handled, you know, if somebody gets upset at you, you know, how they, how they deal with that, I'd say that's something you should pay close attention to, for sure. Now, let's see here. Oh, we always see this one pop up. Current employer says we are a family during the job interview.

I don't know. I have depending on the type of job, it can feel like you're dealing with a family. Yeah, we got a lot of people around here who have worked with forever. Sometimes it's like you're dealing with an annoying little brother.

We got to tell him, knock it off. Pages. Oh, let's see here. What else do we got? Consistent sarcasm and snarky comments. Yeah, I mean, I guess if somebody is just constantly negative, that's probably a red flag you shouldn't ignore. Um, let's see here. This person says at the start of 2024, we noticed at work all the hand towel tissue stuff had been replaced with real nasty cheaper ones.

You needed about 50. Oh, yeah, cost cutting. Yeah, you see the company cutting costs. That could be a red flag. And I go, geez, if they're getting us the crappy TP, some boy gonna go soon enough. Oh, geez. Well, we have had the same crappy paper towels and toilet paper around here for many, many years. So I'm not too worried about it.

All right, let's see here. Well, a lot of these are just unpleasant. I don't care to read them here.

Casual lying. Yeah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, you know, this thread's just not going where I wanted it to. And I don't know what I was expecting, but let's bail. Well, it's apparently a really good time to be an insider trader.

You know, we were talking about the Super Bowl halftime show earlier. There are these new online betting platforms like Poly Market and Colchee. Now, I don't gamble, so I ain't gonna monkey with these.

All right, I've never even fired up these websites. But this isn't the first story I've seen recently where somebody made a ton of money betting on some type of an event and they weren't betting on in this situation, the actual game. They were betting on what was going to take place during the Super Bowl halftime show. How likely do you think it is somebody could have found out prior to the halftime show exactly what was going to happen during it?

Yeah, probably pretty likely, since I would imagine. You know, they do a little bit of preparation for these things. Some rehearsals and such. Yeah, I don't know exactly how much money this person made, but they got about 17 of 20 bets about the halftime show.

Correct. Guessing the guest performers and things like that. Duh, not going to be too hard for somebody with insider knowledge to figure that out. And it seems crazy to me that you could just go make some bank online betting like that. But this also happened when the U.S. invaded Venezuela a few weeks ago. Some guy perfectly predicted how that was going to play out and made $400,000.

Huh. Yeah, I'm sure didn't have any kind of a government insider knowledge. Well, I would imagine, you know, if the government's not in on the insider trading, they'll probably put some stuff in place to, you know, make these things a little bit more restrictive like they supposedly have with the stock market. But boy are things shady, are they not? Yeah, just don't gamble, people.

Okay, just don't gamble because the house is always going to win. All right, the animals continue fighting back against people. I guess in Zambia, not the place to go. You want to avoid getting killed by elephants. It's a major problem, I guess, that's erupted in recent years. Clashes between humans and elephants, claiming many lives. So this guy was out fishing and was on his way, way back when they bumped into this herd of elephants. And the elephants got all mad, so they started running from them. You know, just got to escape.

Elephants, they're huge, they will crush you into oblivion. Why are so many people calling me right now? Do we got something broken? Hold on. Kaybear, oh, let's try this other line.

Kaybear, you're live on the show, keep that in mind. Hey, what's up? Hey, what's up? Oh, is this Ravonda? Yeah.

Oh, hey Ravonda. I thought something was broken, so I was like, why are the phones all lighting up? What's happening? Oh, geez. Oh, yeah.

Well, I just wanted you to play BYOB. Okay, I could do that for you in just a minute. Okay, thank you. No problem. Bye. Okay, nothing broken. Nothing broken. Let's get back to elephant attacks.

We'll do some BYOB here in a few. So this guy's running from the elephants, right? He jumps into a river. And then he gets killed by a crocodile.

The animals are working together, all right? You know, you think you've finally done it, you pulled it off, you escaped the elephants, and then he just gets killed by a crocodile. Some of these places, they're just not good to visit. If you have to worry about the herds of elephants trampling you, I'd just pick somewhere else to be.

I know it's hard to move. I would assume he was a local. Maybe he grew up there. You know how hard it is to move to a new city. You gotta have money. Gotta have a means of transportation, ways to get your crap loaded up and taken with you.

So I shouldn't judge, but that just doesn't sound like a great place to be. If you can't even escape elephants without getting killed by crocodiles, so rip to this guy, be careful out and about. Avoid natural waters. You just never know what's in him. Well, in places like this, you know the likelihood of a crocodile being in the waters.

You know, fairly high. It'd be like going into a natural, you know, some type of natural water in Florida. Or, you know, Louisiana. You're in the swamps. If you're in Gator country, you might get, you know, an arm ripped off or something like that.

So just be careful. All right, I'm going to dig up some freak news back in a minute. Okay, and where shall we begin with today's edition of Freak News?

Let's see here. This guy loves Home Alone and he also, well, needs to get a job. Well, he ain't going to be able to for a while.

He's going to be in jail for a while. Drug dealer inspired by Home Alone rigged house with booby traps. So this guy, you know, is a drug dealer and he just went throughout his entire place setting up all kinds of different booby traps. Things like homemade flamethrower.

He had some bombs and things like that. Little signs around like warning. Do not enter unless invited to do so. The premises and its surrounding buildings are booby trapped. You've been warned. And then congratulations getting this far. Now would be a good time to get measured up for your coffin and say goodbye to your loved ones.

This gate is electrified in excess of 50,000 volts. Now he tried to use the excuse. Oh, I'm just trying to keep the crows away. Crows don't read as far as I'm aware, but they found a lot of different stuff at his place. You know, large amounts of cash, large amounts of drugs, all kinds of different firearms. If you've got signs talking about your place being booby trapped, it's going to raise suspicion.

And then when they asked him why he's like, well, I saw him home alone, blah, blah, blah. This is a like 60 year old man. All right, dude, just get a normal job. And other dudes out there, if you're losing your hair, just shave your head.

Okay, just shave your head. It's not that big a deal. You don't want to end up like embarrassed during a big fight at Madison Square Garden. Say you're a boxer and your two pay gets ripped off your head in the middle of a match.

That's just embarrassing. I'm looking at a picture of a guy who, yeah, after getting punched in the face multiple times because that's what happens in boxing matches. His two pay became dislodged in the middle of the fight.

And yeah, nobody's really talking about anything else regarding this fight aside from the fact that his two pay ripped off. He said it was his mom's shampoo's fault. He said that it was an emergency to pay, which I've never heard of in my life. But he said he used his mom's shampoo and it burned all his hair off the top of his head. And I've never heard of shampoo that will.

I mean, I've heard a nair. But again, if you look at the guy's haircut, like, you know, what remained after the two pay ripped off to me, it looks like, you know, there was just always a two pay there. All right, just shave your head. Just shave your head, dude.

If getting punched in the face is your job, your two pay will get ripped off your head. And let's see if you've got about $400,000. And you want to move to Albuquerque, New Mexico. You could buy Walter White's house, the house used in Breaking Bad. Previously, they had it listed at $4 million, but it's just a normal house.

So they finally dropped it to a semi reasonable price of $400,000. Now you're going to have to deal with people showing up at your house every single day, taking selfies. But you can live in Walter White's house. You got the pool out back, the famous pool. Now, look at the pictures inside. Did they actually film the show inside of the house? Because it looks a lot different than in the TV show. I don't know. It's a decent question.

But certainly the exterior shots like, you know, the pizza on the roof, blah, blah, blah, those are legit. So you're going to have to live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. But there you go, $400,000. And you might be able to somehow make some money off of it. You know, the previous owner put up a big fence and was like, stay away, leave us alone.

I guess really rude to pass her by. I don't know. Can you charge for selfies?

There's got to be a way to make some money off it somehow. But yeah, I don't think I'm moving to Albuquerque anytime soon. And I don't like people showing up at my house. Well, I just want to be left alone. Stop bothering me.

Trying to take a nap, trying to relax, watch TV. All right. We'll be back with more in a few. It's a little after eight, hoping that this Thursday just rockets by. Ready to be back home, relaxing. I did a lot of relaxing yesterday. It was really nice, but it just wasn't quite enough.

So hopefully today as well. All right. Apparently you people need to get busy. Really having problems with population numbers?

Apparently so. Over in France, they're sending letters to every 29 year old in the country telling them, get on with having some kids already. Birth rates are dwindling. You need to have babies before it's too late.

And they've got a little pamphlet with all kinds of information about why you need to have those babies immediately. And then there was another article that popped up talking about, I don't know. Now just rates of, you know, intimacy are also decreasing worldwide. And they're blaming social media, saying that social media and online dating platforms are leading to people having unrealistic expectations of, you know, who might be interested in them.

All right. I think having a social media account is going to be helpful for you to find a date. But you do also need to be realistic in your expectations. Okay. And you also need to get out of your house. You need to go somewhere or at least, I don't know, engage in some conversation online. Maybe get to know somebody and maybe they'll want to just go hang out with you at some point.

And then you can find out if you like each other in person. But what I think is going to happen is we're just going to have a lot of people who don't want to put in the effort into dealing with real people. So we're going to see a lot more of this AI boyfriend and girlfriend stuff.

It's already becoming more common than you think. Because, you know, basically, aside from in-person physical interaction, people just find some fake AI bot to chat with. They make a picture of them using chat GPT. You know, they design their ideal mate and just live in a fantasy world.

All right. You know, I know relationships can be challenging, but I don't know. I just don't get this one. It seems like a real in-person relationship would be better. And if we're having, you know, population problems, as far as I know, AI cannot have a baby. So you're going to have to hook up with somebody real if you're worried about that. All right.

If you're 29 and you're in France and the government's hassling you to have a baby as soon as possible. Yeah. These experts interviewed are like, yeah, this is just going to get worse.

And then they're saying everyone should be concerned. I don't know. I think we got a lot of people on this planet. I think it'd be okay if, you know, we have a few less babies. Jobs are already scarce. Resources being depleted. You know, we've got environmental issues.

Let them hook up with the AI people. Sure. Jake Davis in the house. Oh, aren't you glad to be at work today? Nope.

At me either. I was so comfy in bed this morning. It felt nice. It felt nice because, you know, we stayed at this Airbnb and the bed was cardboard.

Dude, it was terrible. Well, and I specifically picked this one because we were looking at a few of them. And the other one was like the walls are really thin.

And so you hear a bunch of racket all the time. So I went with the one that was supposed to be nice and quiet. And you said your room was nice and quiet. Well, I'd sleep with earplugs.

Oh, okay. So maybe it was quiet or not. Well, my room, I don't sleep with earplugs. And it sounded like somebody left the dryer on all night with just shoes in it. You know, just it was constant all night, just thumping and bumping. And I did not sleep very good. So yesterday got home, took a little nap, got up, had some food, went to bed early. And here we are back at work, back at work.

God classy making racket down the hall. No, it's pretty chill around here. But yeah, foggy and cold on my way in. Did the fog clear up yet? No, it was still foggy when I came in. I haven't looked outside for about 30 minutes though.

Okay. Everybody, we did get reports earlier of Rex on I-15 near McCammon and really thick fog. Fog scary, man. Have you ever had a vehicle die in the fog? No, but one time I drove back from Tri-Cities, Washington through the blues there. And the fog was so thick I could barely see the front of my car. What should be like an eight hour drive or something turned into about 14. And by the time that my car had those flip up headlights.

Yeah. So when I finally got back to Pogatello, the fog had created like an inch layer of ice on the headlights and they wouldn't even go down. Holy cow. It was gnarly dude. Dude, freezing fog is terrifying. Like if there's fog out there, everybody goes slow because you might hit some surprising black ice that's super slick. Especially when like through the blues.

Part of that windy mountainous road is right by a river. It's really scary. That sounds terrifying dude. Yeah, there was one time, I tell you, staff to drive back and forth burly every day. And I drove through like crazy fog like that.

And the car I had at the time, it just sucked. Like it would just die sometimes and you'd have to wait, you know, 10 minutes and then it would fire back up. I come over the top of a hill and then just immediately die. So you're on the wrong side of the hill. So I'm on the wrong side of the hill and I'm like, somebody's going to come flying over the top of this hill and just smash right into me. I mean, I got off the road, but it was so foggy and I had to turn the car off like leaving the lights on could have potentially made it so I didn't get out of there at all because it would have killed the battery. So I just sat there in sheer terror thinking that someone was going to barrel into me, but luckily I was able to fire it.

I'm right on your backside and bam. That is because things pop up out of nowhere in the fog. So y'all be careful out there. Slow down, drive safe. But the weekend's looking pretty good. Weekend weather, we should be up in the 50s.

So final chance to get some outside work done. I ain't going to do anything. I'm hiding my house. Dude, I'm hiding my house all weekend. Last weekend and the last couple of days, just too busy, too busy. I need a nap.

I need my couch and probably 10 million chores to be done. But yeah. So anyhow, Jade and I hope y'all are doing good. Be safe out on the roads. Don't be stupid.

Out there. Welcome to the Victor Wilt Show Thursday edition. Hope your day is going by at a rocket pace. Might need to go a little bit quicker, but I'm not complaining yet.

And I just found out some good news. Apparently yet again, K-Bare 101 and myself up for Idaho's Best Awards. So you go to idohosbest.com. Type or you know, click vote now and then just type in radio. And you can bring up the categories of radio show and radio station up for best radio station in Idaho. Of course, K-Bare 101 and up for best radio show of 2026 or whatever. I think I might have just said the wrong year.

But also the Victor Wilt Show. What's up peaches? Just telling people to get out and vote. It's 2025. Is it the 2025 awards? Okay. The best of last year.

The best of last year, which you know we were. So vote for K-Bare in the radio station category and vote for the Victor Wilt Show in the radio show category. You know, one thing I found kind of interesting, which I'm not against this. They had a few podcasts listed under radio show. There's another local voting thing. I think it's post register that does it or something where they do not have a radio show category, but they do have podcasts. And I think it's a bunch of bull crap that they won't accept radio show as podcasts, but these guys would accept podcasts as radio shows. Are they like a magazine or what are they?

What's the post register? That's a local newspaper. Newspaper, even worse. So they'll probably say something stupid like, oh, radio is not relevant. But yet again, newspaper is on this way out.

Well, it's out already. What I'm guessing is the reason they don't do it is because they know it being a local thing that we would just win it every year. So why even put us in there? Why even put K-Bare in because we're going to win every year if you put us in the local thing. So anyway, Idaho's best. I give them props for putting podcasts in there because whatever.

I'm not particular. I think that podcasts and radio are basically the same thing. If it's a bunch of yapping that people are listening to, it's essentially a podcast or radio. It's kind of like the G League of radio podcast.

Yeah. Like if you can't do radio, do podcasting. Well, or if you're like, go from radio, do podcast. I mean, there are really good podcasts out there.

Sure. But I'm saying like for some cases, like that's like 0.1 percent of them. You know, there's not a lot of really good podcasts. But there are a lot of podcasts, which is similar to radio. Most of radio sucks too.

You have to be famous in order to have a good podcast. That's it. I don't know. I mean, the last podcast guys got famous doing their show.

Okay. You know, like Joe Rogan was already famous when he started his. But there's a major difference between like a group of friends starting a podcast versus the last podcast on the left. I mean, those guys know how to entertain people. Well, yeah, they were comedians to begin with. See, that's exactly my point. They're already actors too. They're already talented.

Yeah. But I mean, because I mean, you don't have to have anything other than a phone to start a podcast. I could put my phone down, go to audio recorder, start the app and upload it to the internet. And there you go. That's podcast. People are not going to listen to that though, I don't think. You don't think so?

Bill Burr's like phone recording podcast is only relevant because he's Bill Burr. Yeah, but still, I bet a handful of people would. All I'm saying is that anybody can do it. And that's that's how easy it is. You don't need fancy gear or anything.

All you got to do is be an interesting person and record yourself talking, upload it to the internet. Right. So anyway, Idaho's best.com. Go vote for K-Bare 101 and the Victor Wilt Show in the radio categories. We would appreciate your support as always. See, we can take home the the state award this time instead of just the regional award. Why is it that the only only the morning shows nominated? Well, I don't think that's necessarily the case. Let's look at the radio show categories. Excuse me, everybody.

Excuse me. I guess a lot of these shows, I'm not sure if they are morning or afternoon. Like Joey Bravo, is he the morning guy?

I have no idea who that is. Well, and see, then you've got the Jeff and Greg podcast. They're they're a podcast. There's also they're up there for the radio award.

That's what I was just saying. There's a few podcasts. Another one called the North Idaho Experience podcast. So I don't think it's just morning shows. I thought you said they had their own category.

That's in the local awards. There was a podcast thing, but this is Idaho's best. Idaho's best, I guess, is lumping podcasts in with radio, because they're basically the same thing, which a lot of podcasters don't want to admit, but the radio and podcasts basically the same.

I've seen the one of those podcasts that you just said has a talk some trash in recent years about CABAR. One of those podcasts, I remember Jeff and Greg. Yeah, I think I think I remember specifically with Jeff and Greg. There was one time where they were saying, like, don't listen to the radio again.

I remember seeing something like that. I don't know. Because I've talked to those guys before. I think me and Jeff and Greg are cool. I'll have to go dig it on Facebook because I could have sworn there was a fight that was happening online. No, there's I mean, there's one local podcast that is just obsessed with us and can't stop talking about it. Not those losers. I'm talking about another.

Yeah, no, I think I think we're cool with Jeff and Greg. Unless something's changed. I'll find it. They've been talking crap. I'll talk some crap.

That's right. I'm always down to talk some crap. But vote for CABAR and the Victor Will Show at Idaho's best.com because we need to win the state awards and crush and destroy everybody else, especially you. You, Neil Larson. How did he get nominated? His show sucks.

He paid. Could be. I just watched a video of a guy breaking into a jewelry store. Uh, what made it unique was not that he broke in with a forklift, managed to, you know, just lift up the sheet metal door with a forklift, get himself into there. Then he starts smashing cases, swiping jewelry. What made it unique was how he left.

He flat on a donkey. And as we all know, there are cameras everywhere nowadays. You're always being watched.

Okay. So then after you see the surveillance footage of the guy smashing up the jewelry cases, stealing a bunch of gold jewelry, then you get the montage of the guy riding the donkey through town at low speed. And, uh, he was even busted on camera, burying the gold in the dirt, where cops later found it. Now, I don't know if they, if they've caught the guy, but they did retrieve, I think all of the jewelry, you know, and you can watch the video of the cops, uh, digging this stuff up.

So they might still be on the lookout for this guy. Um, you know, get a job, dude. Come on. Don't be a dirty thief. What kind of fool buries jewelry in the dirt as well?

All right. I heard one time of some idiot burying jewelry in the dirt because he wanted to hide it from his ex-girlfriend. What a loser that guy is. Ladies, there's, you know, some real weirdos out there, real manipulative weirdos.

Be, beware. Anyway, um, yeah, if you want to watch that video, just search, uh, donkey jewelry thief and you'll find it. Yeah, just watch them trodden away.

You got to at least get a horse, something you can leave at high speed on, not at donkey. All right, we'll be back. Guys can be really dumb when it comes to trying to impress the ladies. You don't want to end up in jail as a result of whatever you're doing to try to, you know, pick somebody up. This guy, an ex-army colonel, uh, he was in the armed forces for four decades and I guess, you know, he just really wanted to impress this woman. So he sent her a text message going, Hey, you know, here's a little look at what I do for a living.

And it was some kind of a classified email that showed a future military operation or something like that. So anyway, they were dating for a while. You know, he ended up breaking up with her and then she was mad. So she went ahead and contacted the military. It was like, Hey, this guy was showing me top secret information.

Check this out. And yeah, he's going away for a while. Yeah. If you're working in the military and you're being trusted with top secret information, they really don't like it if you share that with people.

All right. As far as I can tell, only one person handling classified documents improperly that's gotten away with it in a long time. Once I got caught for it.

So yeah, uh, would they give him a few years in jail? Sometimes you just got to keep your work to yourself. Just buy your flowers, dude. And dudes, Valentine's Day is two days away. Keep that in mind. All right.

Keep yourself out of the doghouse. Get her something nice, even if it's just, you know, little chocolates or something. You don't have to go crazy. But a nice card, just something to show you care. I know there are a lot of holidays. We all get it. Don't send her classified secrets for Valentine's Day.

Never know what's going to happen down the line. Well, there have been a few times I've picked up a raccoons on one of the cameras at my house. And I always thought it was interesting. Like, well, look at that raccoon. Because I live right in the middle of town. One day, three of them in a row, just go walking across my back deck. And I'm like, what the heck?

Where are these things coming from? Well, if you have raccoons in your yard, don't feed them. Don't feed them for, uh, you know, multiple decades. Because eventually they're going to know your house is the place to go. And every single one of them is going to know this woman in Washington. Her house was invaded by over a hundred raccoons last week. She says she's been feeding them for about four decades, but she was forced to run away to her car to escape them. They were just like, hounding her. Give us that food.

Give us that food. But she's never had an issue like this where a hundred of them show up till about six weeks ago. So surrounding her day and night demanding food.

And she's been quoted prices as high as $500 per raccoon to trap and relocate them. I don't know if the cops even did anything about it. She called the cops and was like, I don't know what to do.

I suddenly told her, stop feeding the raccoons. Why don't you call a fishing game? Because this is your problem, lady. I mean, it is a pretty cool image here. You know, there's photos and videos of the just million raccoons. Okay, a hundred all over this lady's yard. That is a lot of critters. Holy crap. So yeah, don't don't feed the wildlife. All right. They'll just keep coming back.

I don't know. I'm trying to think when I had raccoons in my yard, did I have cat food in my yard? I mean, now that now that we got the dog there, Millie, I would assume raccoons are there.

God, there ain't going to be no critters in my yard. And not anymore. All right.

Anyway, just a friendly reminder, don't feed the wildlife. We'll be back. Well, we did it, everybody. We made it through the Thursday show. Still got to make it through the noon hour of madness and mayhem.

But that should go pretty decent, hopefully. As long as Peaches and I can find some crap to share with you. Happens obviously at noon, but it's been been pretty nice to be back. I mean, I'd still rather have been home sleeping and being lazy, but not too shabby to be back.

And it's Thursday, tomorrow's Friday, hopefully a nice relaxing weekend ahead with zero tasks aside from chores that need to be completed. No running around or anything like that. I don't want to go anywhere. Anyway, I am going to get out of here, but I'll be back in a couple hours.

So hang out, enjoy the tunes, have a great rest of your morning. Thank you as always. You're the best.

And I will talk to you with Peaches here in just a bit. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Will Show. This program is a production of Riverbend Media Group. To contact the show or for more information, hit us up at riverbendmediagroup.com.
