The Viktor Wilt Show

Thursday. Yeah. Wish it was Friday, but ain't too bad. What's up? It's the Viktor Wilt Show.

I guess let's start with I found a thread about unwritten rules for dudes, unwritten rules for men. I haven't read through this because I mean, look, I just barely got here. We're flying by the seat of our pants here, but I figured I could cast judgment on these. When it comes to unwritten rules for dudes, I could imagine there are some stupid things in here. Now this post is coming from Reddit, so I don't know.

Maybe it would be a little bit different than if I found this same post on Facebook, but if we see a rule that I think shouldn't be an unwritten rule for dudes, something we should change. Well, I'll say as such to dig in and see if I think these are true. If you ask your friends for help with anything that involves manual labor, you feed them. Doesn't matter if it's burgers, beer, and pizza, or something you grill cook, whether it's helping you put up a garage door moving or whatever, feed them. I thought that's how you get them to come help you with something like, hey, man.

If you you know, come help me move. I'll hook you up with some beer. I got pizza. I mean, they'd probably come healthy either way. But I I just think that is, pretty much an unwritten rule.

Yeah. Yeah. Give them some food. I mean, at bare minimum, a glass of water. Now you should probably do something nice if somebody helps you move.

Moving sucks. Good luck to my daughter and her boyfriend. They said they didn't need my help, so I ain't gonna. Is that rude of me? Is an unwritten rule as a dad?

If your kids are moving, even if they say they don't need help, you should probably go down and help them. Man. Now I make myself feel bad. What what would happen if I just surprise showed up you know boom hey I'm at the airport come get me I think another just as people unspoken rule is like don't just show up right I don't know if my kids just showed up I'd be fine with it but I don't know I'm just gonna pretend I didn't think about that they said they didn't need the help I hope that wasn't just them being nice, because moving sucks, especially if you live in Phoenix at this time of year. It's pretty awful.

Alright. What else were you up for? Unwritten rules for dudes. When you have a set of tongs, you clap them together at least twice to make sure they're working. Alright.

Yeah. Classic dad rule. Sure. You will return the head nod. Yeah.

Somebody gives you the I mean, it's kind of like the Idaho wave when you're driving down the road, and, you know, you kind of put your hand up off the the steering wheel. You gotta gotta flash that back. Right? Well, I suppose you do return the head nod. I think that's again a people thing.

Stand up to shake someone's hand. Yeah, you do, don't you? I don't know if that's a rule or just, it seems more polite. I don't know. I'm gonna start shaking people's hands sitting down.

Yeah. I ain't got time to stand up. Hey. Nice to meet you. Alright.

Let me get back to work here. Direct the stream to clean the gunk off in a toilet. I don't know if that's an unwritten rule. That's efficiency. Right?

Let's see. Don't throw a friend under the bus to impress someone. If it impresses someone when you throw somebody under the bus, that's probably not a good person. You know? You see somebody throw someone under the bus in an attempt to, like, seem cool.

That should be a red flag. Yeah. If you drop a girl or later your kids' friends or whoever off at home, you never drive off until they're inside the house? Alright. I I think I think I probably do that.

I haven't dropped anybody off anywhere for a while. Okay. The thing that when I've dropped people off at, like, the airport, I do I guess when it's my kids, I watch them go inside. When I've dropped peaches off at the airport, I'm like, he's a he's a grown man. I'm out of here.

He'll be fine. And what what would happen right in front of the doors of the airport if I, you know, didn't watch my daughter walk inside? I think she'd be fine. They have a cop standing outside, but I I don't know. I guess that is an unwritten rule.

If you finish pumping gas into your car, you have to shake the nozzle to get the last drops out. I think that's a euphemism here. That's what I think. Don't take off another man's hat. I don't know if that's an unwritten rule.

Alright. Because it's fun to just you do that kind of upward slap and knock somebody's cap off their head. I think that's an unwritten rule. If it if it's your friend and they wear a hat, every once in a while, you gotta smack that hat right off the top of their head. I disagree with that rule.

What is this? Something down south where maybe it's different if it's a cowboy hat. Yeah. You know, I'll have to ask the next cowboy I see, like, hey, if somebody smacked your hat off your head, how mad would you get? Those hats are generally a lot more expensive than a a cap than a ball cap.

That's probably what it is. This is a cowboy thing, and it comes down to the price of said hat. You know, your expensive hat in the dirt, it's gonna make people mad. So alright. And you you never know.

Somebody wearing spurs. You don't wanna get in a fight with them. I don't know if people really do people wear spurs anymore? I don't think they do. I think that's pretty old school, maybe somewhere, but they're not necessary.

So, it kinda messed up to wear spurs. Jeez. Alright. If you get a text or call from your male friend and they're unusually affectionate, grateful, or gracious out of the blue, you drop what you're doing and tell them they're you're coming over. I don't know.

I mean, maybe they're just being nice. Maybe they're hammered. Hey, man. I just wanna let you know you're my best friend. Come over and make sure they go to bed.

Like, settle down, buddy. I can tell you've had a few too many. You're being too nice. Don't stand next to another guy at the urinal unless necessary. Absolutely.

That is an unspoken rule. If there are, like, 10 urinals and, you know, you're at the second one over, there are plenty of room to go to 1, you know, many urinals away. It's weird. Don't come stand next to somebody. Let's see here.

No matter your age, a stick is a cool sword. Yeah. I don't know if that's a rule. That's just, you know, the child in us. The child in us.

Alright. You always hype your boy up to a girl he's trying to get with no matter how wild the claim. I don't know. That that seem I mean, you should just hype your kids up in general to people, unless they're terrible children. You know?

I don't know about this no matter how wild the claim. If you've got a kid that's, you know, a real pain, maybe you just keep your mouth shut. If a buddy dies in the gym while lifting any kind of weights, you will put more weight on the bar then call 911. Yes. If I ever decide to go to the gym and that's the inevitable conclusion of what happens when Victor Wilt goes to the gym, please make it look like I was, you know, really killing it with the old bench press.

Well, according to the Internet, I need an adventure. I mean, I think everybody needs a good adventure, but apparently, according to a recent study, 42 is the perfect age to have an adventure. That's right. My age. Can't believe I'm 42.

I think it's not, you know, a specific age that indicates you need an adventure. It's like, oh, jeez. I'm getting old. I gotta get out and do something. Help.

Help. How did this happen to me? How am I 42? I need to get out of town. I need to go on adventure.

36 of respondents to this survey said they've become more adventurous with age. That's weird. I mean, may maybe not. Maybe not. Because the majority of people, like, no.

I'm much less adventurous now that I'm old. I need to, you know, hunker down. I'm getting old. I gotta play it safe. You get too adventurous.

You never know what could happen. Yeah. Apparently, however, adventure knows no age limit. That's what this article says. So I thought it would be, a positive thing to throw out there.

Like, hey, if you're older than 42, you can still have an adventure too. You're never too old to adventure. Let's see here. More people craving adventure in their lives. Yeah.

It's because people get bored. Alright? Gotta get out and have some fun. I need to get myself feeling more adventurous. Sometimes when I get, like, a busy week ahead, I start getting a little bit panicked.

Like, next week is going to be a very busy week for me. Got Lou Brutus rolling in at the beginning of the week. We got a big rock show going down at the mountain America center. Gotta go to the fair food tasting, and then my lady's coming to visit on the weekend. Now that's all fun.

Why is it somewhat, you know, scary to go. Oh, I have all these fun things coming up. I think I've gotten too much in the habit of sitting around with my cats. Shame be upon me. I need to become more adventurous because all of those things I'm very excited about.

So I don't know why it's an intimidating week. Like, oh, jeez. Lou Bertis is gonna show up. I'm gonna hang out with somebody who's really fun. You know, we're we're gonna go to an awesome show at my favorite venue to see shows at.

Then, you know, Lou's taken off. Then, oh, jeez. I gotta go to the fair and pass my judgment on all the very best fair food, eat like a pig, and then I get to relax with my lady all weekend. Hang out with the cats, kick back, relax, have a a wonderful time. There is nothing intimidating about that week.

But when I think of all the tasks, maybe it's the chores I gotta do. There is some stuff I gotta get done around the house. You know, like, even though I don't have a big yard, when it's like, oh, it's hot outside, and I need to mow the lawn. Oh, no. It's like it's not even bad to mow my yard.

Kinda relaxing. You put the headphones in, listen to a podcast, get the job done. Boom. Boom. Move along.

I don't even have a bunch of chores that need done. General tidying, sweeping and mopping doesn't take very long. Do the dishes. And then like, chill out, bro. Settle down a little bit.

It'd be adventurous. What's wrong with you? All right. Let's see what we've got on, what defines an adventure, anything outside of their daily routine. Well, then look, I'm going on an adventure next week.

Alright. So it's not like I turned down adventure. Lou hits me up and thinking to come to hang out for the ice 9 kills show. I don't know, Lou. That's outside of my normal daily schedule.

The fair hits us up. You wanna come out and judge some food? Oh, I don't know. I've got work to do. There's things that need to be done around the studio.

All right. It's it's an adventure next week and I am excited about it. I'm very stoked on it. I think it really is just the, the chores end, but I'm like, how about them? Them chores.

It's gonna be easy. My house isn't even, you know, messy, like simple tidying, settle down full. Ideal adventure lasts about 6 days. So yeah, I've got more than that coming up. It's a big long adventure next week.

And folks are willing to travel over 27 100 miles for it. Yeah. I'd say if you're traveling 27 100 miles, that is quite an adventure. Generally, if I travel, it's 45 mile adventure. Going to pokey.

Yeah. It's an adventure. Top destinations include, if you wanna really get out of town and go on a real adventure, Hawaii, California, and Florida. Well, I've never been to Hawaii. I would like to visit it, but I can't pass judgment.

Never been to Florida. I think it would be potentially interesting. But I think right now, if I was gonna book a vacation adventure to one of those three places, Well, it's probably really hot in California right now. Summertime. I don't know.

Maybe San Diego. It's kinda nice year round. But, anyhow, I'm getting ready for adventure. Can you imagine if you just went to a show? You know, just some local show.

Alright. I'm gonna go out for a night on the town. And next thing you know, all of a sudden, you've got Paul McCartney of the Beatles, Chili Peppers drummer, Chad Smith, and Andrew Watt, who is, I mean, this guy produces like everybody nowadays. I've I've met Andrew years ago at a radio convention. And like an idiot, I didn't stay in touch with him.

He ended up being the guy writing Ozzy's last two albums. He's Post Malone's, like, right hand man. Yeah. You know, you never know who you're dealing with when you meet somebody in the music business. They might blow up to be one of the biggest stars in music.

But, anyway, back to this story here. I guess Paul McCartney was just on vacation at his home in the Hamptons. Oh. So, ended up going out to some kind of a bar and yeah. All of a sudden Paul McCartney's jamming with Andrew watt and Chad Smith little tiny venue busting out Beatles songs Holy crap.

That would be amazing Apparently, Andrew watt has been working with Paul McCartney on new music That could be really amazing. Andrew Watt writes some good songs for sure. The stuff he did with Ozzy. Now Ozzy's latest album, you know, it was okay. I the one before that, though, ordinary man, that album was awesome.

That was, you know, a fine return to form. I I couldn't believe how good that album was. And that was the first album Ozzy did with Andrew Watts. So if he's working with Paul McCartney, we might have some amazing new stuff on the way. So anyhow I don't know when that music's gonna be coming out or anything like that but yeah there's some pretty cool video making the rounds from this you know just little show just set a bar I mean I I can't imagine seeing paul mccartney live at a normal show.

I mean I'm a huge Beatles fan so if I was able to see Paul McCartney play in a stadium it would be amazing. But little bar show I mean if you've seen big bands playing a small venue it's something you don't forget like you know system of a down at the roach motel or I don't know I've seen a bunch of up and coming bands play in small places next thing you know they're they're just massive but to see somebody who's already pretty much the biggest star in music, I mean, does it get bigger than Paul McCartney? Not really. See him just rocking out at a bar, just killing it. Yeah.

He's he's old. I mean, some of these rock stars that can just keep killing it at those ages. I mean, it should motivate me to, I don't know, go for a jog or something. Get on that treadmill, bro. Keep yourself in good shape.

Look at these guys. They're out on tour. They're, well, I would assume a lot of them aren't living in a bus. Tool is though. They're in their sixties.

They're living in the bus, going around doing, you know, these big rock shows And you heard me. Oh, jeez. I've got, like, a few things to do next week. I've I've told you about Lou's itinerary next week. Right?

He's going to 5 shows in 5 days. Lou Brutus. He rolls in here, hang out with me and peaches, Do the ice 9 kills show. Then the next night he goes to like Iowa or something for a disturbed show. Then the next 3 nights, 3 different cities in, Wisconsin, Lou doing, I mean, a crazy 5 day tour.

I would be I would be so panicked if that was my schedule. I need to take a page out of the Lou Brutus playbook and get it together. Alright. Oh, well, you know, I'll eventually turn back around and be adventurous. Right?

It's a transitional period or something. You know? I'm trying to, I'm taking care of a kitten. Okay? That's what I've been doing the last couple months.

That's why I couldn't be adventurous. There's a baby at my house. So as you probably know, the democratic national convention's taking place this week. Apparently, there was an attack on some of the democratic delegates. That's what the article says, an attack.

It was a targeted insect attack, and he got the FBI and Chicago police investigating. Alright. I was watching the X Files last night. There was quite the episode with bees killing people. Was this a bee attack?

Did they unleash a swarm of hornets inside of this hotel? No. Nope. Wasn't that. This is kinda gross.

By the way, if you're eating breakfast, you're you're probably not gonna wanna hear about this this breakfast that took place at the Fairmont Hotel. Yeah. Apparently, a breakfast buffet was, crawling with crickets and maggots that somebody deliberately let loose on the food. Maggot attack. That's right.

You show up. You know, you've been out, just politicking it up for days. You need yourself a nice breakfast to get charged up for the day. And there's just maggots in the eggs. It's gross.

It's gross. I mean, as you're scooping the food at the buffet, if it's moving, you should be concerned. It should be noticeable too. You know, what was there? There was one person they said was, treated.

They said one victim was treated and released on scene. Is that a hungover guy? Didn't notice that the food was moving. Wasn't paying attention. I ate maggots.

Oh. Wait. Okay. Now wait a minute. How do you treat somebody in this situation?

Alright. Not saying this is good in any way. Pretty messed up to go put a bunch of maggots in people's breakfast, but oh, help me. Help. Oh.

They're laying on the floor. Oh. I ate maggots. What did they do? Pump their stomach?

How do you treat them for eating bugs? I hate crickets. Oh, I mean, I can understand being grossed out, but call the ambulance. Help me can maggots make you sick I mean I'm sure that you know if you've been sitting there mowing down a pile of eggs and then you look down you're like wait a minute There's maggots in my food. I Told you this was gonna be gross.

K. I gave a fair warning But I would imagine that could make you sick because you you look down and but could it actually make you, like, sick sick? Let's see. Can maggots make you sick? In general, maggots are not dangerous to healthy people, but they can infect human tissue and cause a disease called myiasis.

Symptoms may vary depending on the location and severity of the infestation. Alright. Here's an article. What happens if you eat maggots? Hey.

If you're new to this show, sorry. Sometimes I talk about eating bugs. K? And these are, you know, unborn flies. Alright.

I know it's gross. Maggots have soft bodies and no legs. They look a bit like worms. Okay. Let's see.

Some people choose to eat maggots intentionally. They may be fried and eaten in places where eating bugs is commonplace. They can also be used to make a Sardinian delicacy, casu marzu, which is maggot cheese, and we've talked about maggot cheese on the show before. It's an Italian cheese prepared especially to turn into breeding grounds for maggots. It's actually decomposing cheese.

That's really disgusting. Alright. Risks of eating maggots. You may be susceptible to whatever they've eaten or been exposed to, which could be gross stuff. Like, yeah, I mean, look where maggots are generally found, not places where you wanna be having a snack.

Alright? Like dead bodies and stuff. Fruit that's infested with maggots is likely to be rotting and ridden with bacteria. Alright. Myasis, you might get some bacterial poisoning, or you could have an allergic reaction.

So So is there a safe way to eat maggots? They could be a viable source of protein, good fats, and trace elements. So scientists are looking into the possibility of using maggots to produce textured protein or sustainable snack for humans. Oh. Oh, help me.

Oh, somebody's calling. K, Bear. You're live on the radio. Keep that in mind. Who's this?

Cowboy. And, what's on your mind? Just to remind everybody that maggots, propitiates, cockroaches are high in protein and low in calories. High in protein, low in calories. See?

That may maybe whoever decided to put the maggots in the food was actually trying to boost the health of these folks. You know? Prison food. Prison food. Well, thank you, sir.

Appreciate the call today. No problem. Have a good day. You too. Alright.

Here's when to see a doctor. So it's if you develop any unusual symptoms that you think are related to eating maggots. I was eating these maggots, and I don't know. Like I said, in this situation where the the victim that was treated I mean, how quickly after eating maggots are you going to have a bad reaction? I guess if you're allergic to maggots, you'll probably have that re reaction pretty quick, I would assume.

Yeah. Most people who are allergic to something, it it kicks in fast. Help me. Get me the EpiPen. I forgot.

I forgot when I was mowing into my maggot eggs that I'm allergic to maggots. I've tried them many times before, and it's a it's a big fail every time. Anyway, yeah. Not nice. Not nice.

But but that line about the victim being treated, that that just kinda cracked me up because, I've eaten crickets. I've never eaten maggots. K? We've eaten some gross stuff on our radio programs here before. Crickets ain't too bad.

They they look bad, but when you know, if you don't really pay attention, they're just crunchy. They're kinda like little you know, like Goldfish crackers or something. They're no big deal. I mean, fresh living maggots. Okay.

Alright. I've talked enough about it. I know. You learn all these rules in radio, like, you know, if you play heavy music in the morning, people are gonna tune out. If you play new music in the morning, people are gonna tune out.

I don't know if I ever got to talk about at 7 AM thorough discussion on eating maggots for breakfast. I, you know, is that a tune out? I guess if you tuned out, you can't tell me, but and I was gonna say, I promise the next break won't be about eating gross things, but there there's no promises on this show. You You never know what I'm gonna dig up next. All right.

I was almost going to do a break about other gross things you could eat, but maybe I'll wait till later. I was, scrolling through Reddit and, you know, as a ghost follower, follower of the ghost b c subreddit, I don't know. Ghost fans, for the most part nowadays, they don't seem to annoy me like they used to. The, you know, annoying fans have seemed to migrate over into the sleep token and bad omen's world. But every once in a while, I'm like, ah, come on, guys and gals.

I don't know. This shouldn't be annoying to me, but it's probably just because I wasn't a fan of the music. They were talking about a band called dogma. They're like ghost has gotta get dogma to open the next tour. And now this is a band that visually, I think, would make for a good fit for Ghost, because it's a a band of nuns.

Well, you know, I don't think they're real nuns. Real nuns don't tend to, wear the black metal corpse paint and, play music like, you know, power metal. Yeah. I'm not a big fan of power metal. And I know I've got listeners and friends that are gonna be like, dude.

Dude. It's just not my not my jam. So, you know, visually, I could see yeah. That's great. They they would fit in nicely.

But here, you wanna hear a little bit of, little bit of dogma here? This is what they sound like. They're they're not bad. It's just not not my jam. What's going on here?

Why isn't why isn't there any audio? What's the problem? Let me try this again. There we go. I don't think they're gonna swear.

I mean, but they are, you know, dressed up as, nuns wearing corpse pain. You know, they they could use naughty language. Power metal bands don't usually swear, do they? You know, I mean, even, bands don't usually swear, do they? You know?

I mean, even, you look at, you know, thrash metal bands. They don't tend to swear a lot. What did Metallica got just a few swear words in all of their songs? Even Slayer. You know, they might talk about, you know, terrible things, but not a lot of profanity.

Anyway, you you get where I'm going with this this dogma band. It it I'm sure, actually, with ghost kinda current sound, you know, they've gone a little bit more eighties. My favorite ghost stuff is definitely the the older I mean, I I like all of it without question. I like all of it. But Meliora is my jam as I mentioned yesterday on the 9 year anniversary of that album.

This band probably would fit really well at Ghost's current, you know, over the top theatrical, you know, arena or amphitheater stage show. Woah. This video's getting inappropriate. Alright. I better close that.

You never know if, the classy crew walked by in the hallway. That was a naughty, naughty nun in that video. I would more prefer they go with something with more of a, classic sound for some re or I don't know. To me, an ideal tour would be just like top notch bands that have a very unique sound. I wouldn't say that dogma has a unique sound.

I've heard a 1000000 bands that sound like that. I'd rather have, like, sleep token and ghost. Alright? Let's have and then he bring in guar or something. Everybody's wearing masks.

Sure. Throw slipknot on the bill. I don't know. Or if you're gonna go with, you know, one of these, like, oh, evil themed bands. Twin temple was a perfect fit for ghost when they opened for ghost.

And they did kinda like doo wop music, not necessarily the most original sound, but they were really fun. And, their stage show was just amazing. I don't know. Have you ever heard of children of the cosmic skull? You ever heard of them?

The they're awesome. If you know, let's, check this out. Mountain heart. We'll just turn it on in the background here while I wrap up my yapping. These guys got that, seventies sound.

They would definitely have fit great with Ghost back in the infestasumum or meliora days or even, you know, the original album, opus eponymous. I'd still think they'd fit pretty good. If you haven't checked these guys out, you should you should definitely dig in because Church of the Cosmic Skull is a lot of fun. The guitarist has a guitar that's one of my, dream guitars. I don't have a flying bee guitar.

This guy's guitar's color scheme, Google it up here. Church of the cosmic skull guitar. Let's pull up a picture here. It's a it's a flying v but it's got like a rainbow color scheme to it. Oh, these guys are so good.

I like my classic rock, so these guys hit the spot. But, yeah, I don't know where you can get a, flying v that looks like that, guys. It's awesome. It's an awesome flying v. Flying bee by Gibson, though.

You wanna get a real Gibson and a custom one like that. You're gonna have to fork over the dough. Where do you get a guitar like that? I need to get 2 new guitars just so everybody knows. Anybody out there, looking to buy me a birthday gift next year?

You know, you you listeners that are rolling in the dough. I know we got some rich listeners. How about a rainbow flying v? An official Gibson. Alright.

I got 2 empty guitar spots on my wall since I gave my daughter 2 of my guitars. Alright. Anyway, check out Church of the Cosmic Skull. I I mean, you can check out that Dogma band too. If you're into power metal, you might really like them.

Be aware. The videos are apparently a little risque. So and I seen that, I might be like, okay. They might swear. They might swear.

Anyway alright. Anyway, be back in a second. Man, I am so pumped to see ice 9 kills live next week. Tuesday, Mountain America Center. Get your tickets now.

So come to the show. It I'm calling it Kay Bear's 25th birthday celebration as we are celebrating 25 years of Kaibear here in 2024. So the party is Tuesday night. Alright. I'm reading through a post online here from a guy who wants to know if he's a jerk.

Yeah. Am I a jerk for not paying when I lost a bet? I mean, I think kinda right out of the gate, if you bet somebody and you lose, pay up. But maybe we need to hear the story. Alright?

Let's dive in. Guy says my girlfriend and I have been living together for about a year, and one of our main arguments is around my boxer mix, Max. She thinks she's a dog whisperer because her dog Jupiter is basically the perfect pet and that I'm a lousy dog owner. I think it's because she has a border collie that just train themselves. Right out of the gate, the guy sounded like a jerk to me.

Yeah. She didn't train the dog. It's a border collie. They're smart. You don't even need to train them.

From what I've heard, I'm not, a dog owner. But from what I understand, border collies, because they're so smart, I mean, require a lot of effort as a dog owner. Yeah. They they need to, burn off a lot of energy. You gotta keep them entertained.

But, anyway, back to his, post here. She hasn't developed any of the normal routines that dog owners do, like put their shoes out of reach or never leave food. Unintend unattend he said unintended. I would assume, unattended. And gets angry everything she pays for it.

I don't know. This guy is not very good at, composing a paragraph here. Anyway, she left a grilled cheese and Max helped himself. She was mad and told me I was a jerk for not training my dog. I argued no dog is going to turn down a grilled cheese.

And after arguing, we agreed to see if Jupiter is that impressive by leaving a steak in front of him, leaving, and seeing if he sneaks a bit. She said a $100 was on the line, and I said sure. And then I was like, no. That's too low. So I said $1,000, and I agreed because I didn't think it was possible for me to lose.

Well, you never know how a bet's gonna go. Sometimes surprises happen. You could be very confident and still lose a bet. So he says we cooked stakes, put 2 on plates near Jupiter, and left. Sure minded Jupiter to leave it, and we left a phone to record in case he licked but didn't eat it.

We left for 5 minutes. Jupiter didn't even seem tempted. I was honestly shocked. I didn't think it was possible. I admit I'm kind of impressed.

Jupiter. Good boy. Good boy. Right? So he says, you know, Max would have eaten it immediately.

But now I cannot afford to pay the $1,000. My girlfriend wants me to pay it to her in increments. $200 a month until I pay it. I'm trying to talk her into lowering the price. I already paid her a $100, but she thinks I'm the jerk for agreeing and then backing out.

I already admitted she won, and I only make $21 an hour. I'm not rich. I think she's getting a bit greedy and smug from winning. Pay up, dude. Pay up.

Now, I mean, if you live with your girlfriend, I guess she's still just your girlfriend. You know, maybe you don't you don't share money. I I would assume by giving her the cash, it's like it's probably gonna come back to you in some way or other, buddy. Settle down a little bit. Give your girlfriend the money.

Don't make a bet and then go, oh, but I didn't think it was possible. This guy definitely would have insisted that his girlfriend pay up, wouldn't he? He was so confident that he raised the price from a $100 to $1,000. Sorry. You make a bet.

You pay up. Yeah. I was actually just yesterday talking with Josh from classy about a guy who made me a bet many years ago and never paid up, and it was only a $5 bet. When was the presidential election of Obama versus Romney? 2012.

So this was 12 years ago. I bet former z one zero three DJ Adam James $5, 5 bucks that Obama would win the election. You know, he was he was very confident. Romney had it in the bag. I'm, like, no.

Obama's gonna crush him. Alright? Guaranteed. And it it was a $5 bet. I was, like, if I lose, it's $5.

Even as somebody who I mean, in 2012, I I needed that $5. That's, like, $10 now. So I bet him, and then I won, and he never paid me. And every time that I bumped into him, it's been a long time since I've seen him. But every time I remind him, I'm like, hey, dude.

You owe me $5, and he never paid up. So Adam James, wherever you are, you owe me $5, bro. Alright? I want my money. I could use that to buy, I don't know, like, one small cheeseburger somewhere or something.

Give me my $5. Freak news, as always, powered by Grease Monkey voted Idaho's best oil change. Here we go. Alright. If you're bleeding from the head and you're trying to take a flight, you gotta clean that stuff up.

You gotta slap on a bandage or something. They're not just gonna allow you to fly when you got blood pouring out of your skull, as one man learned. Yeah. He was trying to take a flight from, Miami. Wanted to go to Vegas.

I mean, usually, the bleeding from the head wouldn't happen till after a few days in Vegas. Right? Well, anyway, got on the plane in Miami, and he had a bloody forehead and was wearing a dirty bandage. And the crew's like, hey, dude. Could you, like, clean yourself up?

Could you put a a new bandage on there? You look terrible. And there's there's blood pouring out of your head. You're gonna get blood all over the place, and, like, you you don't look well. So the guy's like, I can't fly.

No one else can. Yeah. He he didn't replace the bandage. He flew off the handle. Started fighting with the staff and things like that.

So everyone got ordered off the plane. It delayed the flight, and then the guy ended up going to jail. Yeah. Because he, you know, got charged with, trespassing, resisting an officer. You can't mess around when it comes to flying.

And I'm looking at the guy's mugshot. I mean this guy's got blood all over his he looks really strange. It looks almost like somebody had like scalped him or something. And then he's got I don't know what was up with this bandage on his head. The dude looks ridiculous.

I mean, you see a guy looking like this anywhere, not just on an airplane. There's going to be concern. The guy's a mess. Well, he's in jail now, so I'm sure they'll get him some good treatment. Right?

Bandage that head up. Speaking of people who could potentially need a bandage, let's watch this news report here about a New Jersey zoo. A video recorded by a visitor early afternoon on Sunday shows a woman too close for comfort near the Bengal tiger exhibition. Bengal, tiger. Alright.

It's not only me who is a broadcaster, Flub's words. I like that. So you got a woman who climbed over the fence at the zoo and is, sticking her hand into the tiger cage, the tiger enclosure. And, well, the tiger don't look like he likes that. You see her pull her hand away from the tiger as the tiger jumped up.

She then turns around and leaps over the fence. So you'll see them get really kinda agitated. They'll do kind of like you saw in the video that pacing back and forth motion. You'll see their tail going, and it will keep her Yeah. It's a tiger.

Alright. You stick something through the fence that could look like a delicious snack, and you're like, hey. Hey, tiger. Hey, kitty kitty. Come here.

I mean, if I wave my hand around in front of my cat's face, he's gonna get irritated and he's small. Alright. £10, not tiger sized. Alright. And when he bites you, it hurts.

Here says the tiger in that video is 7 year old Mahesha, who's a bit more aggressive than the rest. Even if it's a nice tiger. A nice tiger is still a tiger. It's a big cat. What's wrong with these people?

Meniere says that's the reason why they have several signs at the zoo advising visitors not to cross the line. Should you even have to have signs up at the zoo? Don't go near the tiger. It should be common sense, but, man, people are just stupid. Watch the tiger king documentary.

People who worked with tight I mean, worked with tigers. I'm I'm doing the little quotation marks here in the air that you can't see. Worked with tigers every day. One person in that show lost an arm. Alright?

These are tigers. That woman in that video, Lucky, she left unscathed. It could have been really bad. There were children here right over there that could have seen someone lose a hand or worse. Well, now this could be a teaching moment for children, however.

Kinda like how I've said many times, one of the best things for my children was when we took them to Yellowstone when they were really young. You go to that old faithful visitor center. You walk into the theater. They've got a movie about, park safety, and it shows a bison chucking a small child through the air. They were horrified.

But do you think they ever went near any type of wildlife in Yellowstone? No. Director of recreation and public affairs, John Madika, says he's grateful other visitors recorded the woman's behavior and sent it over to his office. He says the woman not only put herself in harm's way, but the animal also. If our animal would have bitten her, the animal may have had to be euthanized.

And no. You don't need to do that. That's a lesson learned. Alright? Tiger bites someone at the zoo because they climb the fence.

I think the tiger yeah. You use that as a educational video for other people visiting the zoo. You show that the first thing right when you walk in. Right, Peaches? Sure.

Yeah. Yep. Who doesn't teach their kid? You know? Hey.

Don't go in the tiger exhibit. Apparently, a number of people. How many articles have we seen over the years of people climbing the fence at the zoo and getting attacked by animals? I'm telling you, man, neglective parents. They suck.

I know. People are people are terrible, man. Let the kids be kids. Don't let them climb. Yeah.

I mean, this was a grown woman who climbed the fence and almost got her arm ripped off by a tiger, but That's somebody's daughter. No. No. No excuse, peaches. No excuse.

It's the Victor Wilt Show. Hey. What's up? That's me, your host. Alright.

We are headed to Salinas, California where a family is urging parents to be cautious after their daughter, their 2 year old daughter, was mistakenly served alcohol at a restaurant in Salinas. Looks like Fujiyama Japanese sushi and hibachi. So apparently, they ordered apple juice for their daughter and this restaurant stores their cooking wine in a big jug labeled apple juice. Alright. If you're running a restaurant that serves apple juice, you should not put any type of wine, even if it's your cooking wine, in a big jug that says apple juice.

Because do you have cooking wine at home? I don't think I do, but I've used it before. It looks like apple juice. So, you know, the parents thought everything was normal until their 2 year old starts acting a little bit weird. You know?

Kind of falling over leaning on walls slurring her words. So, like, what's going on? They took her to the hospital and they're like, well, she's got a blood alcohol content of 0.12. She's well over the legal limit. Yeah.

The toddler was all hammered. You know, they didn't seem to notice when she was extra impressed by the hibachi flames. Woah. Alright. Sorry.

I shouldn't joke. There's nothing funny about an intoxicated toddler. Alright, dear. But, you know, when I thought about this, most people, the first time they taste alcohol, they're like, oh, gah. And a 2 year old, you know, they can talk.

You would think that the toddler this apple juice sucks. I I don't know if your 2 year old uses the phrase sucks. I know that's, you know, not very classy, but if you want a classy morning show, you tune in to wake up with Josh and Chantelle on a wake up classy 97. But, yeah, the kid just pounded it down. You know?

I don't wanna say it's impressive because that's messed up. But I mean, seriously. Kid drinking it like a champ. That that's kinda crazy. Does his family have, I don't know.

If you have, alcoholism in your family, maybe you need to sniff every drink that gets served to your 2 year old because, yeah, they might just pound it down. You have no idea till all of a sudden they're falling over. You know, they start babbling on about some kind of crazy stuff being really annoying. More annoying than a 2 year old usually is. So, yeah, just a note to the local restaurants.

Gotta transfer the cooking line into a different container. Maybe, grape juice no no come on just leave it in the original container here jeez well anyway the restaurant said, we're sorry we're sorry we've we've learned our lesson You shouldn't have to learn that lesson. But the little girl, she's sobered up. She's fully recovered. She's fine.

And you much as your kids might hate it, I guess you gotta take their drinks and take a little sip before you give it to them moving forward. And you're like, that's mine. Hey. This is really good. You can't have it back.

Ugh. Cooking wine. Never tasted it, but I I bet it's, like, extra disgusting. Man, there gotta be some very unhappy drug traffickers down in. Is this, coming out of Mexico?

Yeah. At the San Diego border. $5,000,000 in meth disguised as watermelons was found by US Customs and Border Protection officers. I'm looking at the cartons of watermelons here. I mean okay.

They did put in a lot of effort into individually wrapping these packages and painting them to look like watermelons. However, even at quick glance, it's pretty obvious these are not real watermelons. Alright? And there's I don't know. There's 100 of them.

100. The time and effort put into trying to disguise these bundles of meth as watermelons. It it must have been quite extensive. All for it to just get busted right at the first checkpoint. Just boom.

Hey. Your watermelons, they smell like, you know, bleach. They smell like chemicals. These do not smell sweet and delicious. This reeks of meth lab.

Please pull over, sir. Yeah. Okay. The precise amount, 1,220, paper watermelons. I mean, if you look at these, maybe maybe they printed them up.

Maybe they didn't paint them, but they're like, yeah. The cartels are working to evolve their smuggling techniques. I guess that's an evolution of it. It just seems like a really lousy one. Yeah.

Last week, they found, like, 600 pounds of meth, and it was just under a bunch of celery. And a celery has some type of smell to it, but I don't think it's gonna cover cover up that horrific chemical smell. Also yeah. They they have dogs at the border, so I I don't know. I don't know.

I mean, drug smuggling has been a thing for a very long time. I'm sure it will continue, but this one of the funnier ones I've seen just because they don't look like very good watermelons. Certainly don't look tasty. All right. That's right.

Jay Davis bow down to me. You should be bowing down to me. How good does our signal sound right now? I don't know. I'm in the studio, so I can't tell.

Listeners, you can call welcome. You can call and let us know at 208-535-1015. Is the signal sounding good? Call and let Jade know areas where it's not working. You wanna stay real about it.

Tell me where it is working. Everything should be working now. POCO Tello here, 1015, 1019, all of our HD channels. Yes. Josh and I were driving around yesterday.

We went to, Taco Bell for lunch and, we checked out K Bear on HD 1. We checked out alt on HD 2. HD 2 and cannonball on HD 3, and they all sounded very nice. Very nice. So since you're in here, Jade, let let's have an argument.

Let's fight with each other. I haven't got to fight with you on air for days. I'm gonna throw my keys at you. Don't throw your keys at me. You with this little bear.

He looks like he's made of hard plastic. That doesn't look like it would feel very good. It's cracking inside my belly. Hard plastic. The the one arm moves.

The one arm moves. Does it, make gestures? Yep. That's what I thought. No.

It's funny. Peaches was talking with I think it was me and Josh the other day, because he's working on trying to come up with ideas for imaging for alt 101 and he was asking us if we had any ideas because he said he wanted to dude it up and we're like why do you need to dude it up? He's like, because Jade said it's a manly station. And I was like, now wait a minute here. I had this discussion with Jade off air recently.

Jade, I hate to break it to you, but all those bands you loved growing up as a teenager, those are bands for the ladies, Jay Davis. You know what my musical preference is. I know. I know. And and and you have migrated over to it.

I I do enjoy that kind of stuff, but okay. That and we both listen to heavy stuff. We both listen to heavy stuff. That's true. Apparently, that's an adult station leaning dude.

Alt? Yeah. I don't think it leans dude. I think it leans, I'm not saying they're a manly dude, but it leans dude like our sales manager. Now I I don't know about that though, Jay, because it's pretty heavy on the, you know, dashboard confessional style front.

Yeah. Now okay. How many times have we had the discussion about when we were teenagers playing shows? Alright. Envision our crowds.

You got doctor Seuss is dead, and you got death in December. Which one had more ladies? Exactly. Exactly. That's what I'm talking about here, Jay.

All the ladies brought more dudes. Exact well, I don't know about that because, you know, the the ladies were, So you you like the dudes is what you're saying? I like dudes. Sure. But but playing a band brought the ladies.

Exactly. And playing those bands on alt 101 would bring in the ladies. Correct? Mhmm. If it's a nostalgia station about the the band we were just listening to.

How many ladies are at their show? Oh, as there's a lot of ladies at that show for sure. I I ain't trying to say that Kay Bear don't lean toward the ladies either. Yeah. You know, we absolutely do.

Once we started playing all those, old emo bands and stuff Yeah. We had a lot of ladies start listening to this. Metal? And more metal. At least good metal?

Yeah. Like, dudes like your band, they only like bad metal. Now listen. Listen. You know?

Yeah. My our crowd tended to be the dudes that stand there with their arms crossed, that kind of thing. The the judgmental metal listeners. Yeah. You know, when I think of That's doom metal instead of black metal.

Now there's definitely lots of dude bands on all 101 because I you know, you got your Korns, Limp Biscuits, all that stuff stuff stuff. Dude oriented than say, like what else is on there? There's some Atreyu on there, I think. Old school Atreyu is, I'd say that's kind of middle ground, but, you know, if you think of, like, I don't know, my chemical romance I'll give you that. You know?

We we play, like, Fiona Apple on there and stuff like that, Jay too. I like Fiona. I do too. She's great. She's probably my probably my favorite female artist.

Definitely one of them. She's she's excellent. She's excellent. I've that was like back in the day like the original Billie Eilish. Yeah.

Yeah. That that's fair. And I I remember that was back in the day, like, a guilty pleasure that I wouldn't admit to You say? To friends. Now I I don't care anymore.

Watch her video. What's that? And then you go watch the video with her doing criminal. Is that with the video where she's, like, in the bathtub? I think so.

I'm a bad girl. Yep. I'm a bad, bad girl. I always liked her, beats and stuff. Kinda reminded me of a a 9 inch vibe.

You know? And she slays on the piano. Peach is joining us here. We're just talking about music for dudes. Alright.

Peach is Yeah. Talking about K Bear and Alt. K Bear. Cannibal. Well, but I still I still think saying the ladies aren't invited, and there's not music for them on there.

I still think that it leans at least equal, if not heavier toward the ladies myself. Or which one? For Alts. Yeah. Definitely the ladies.

Yeah. See, Peach is easy on them. Closed minds. All all the movies, 10 Things I Hate About You, Clueless, All the Girls All the Movies You Had Me Look Up were Definitely Chick Flicks. Oh, of course.

But they put those songs in there for the help of dudes. I don't know. The music, what are you talking about? I think the only reason dudes were watching those movies when they were young is, like, oh, yeah. Look, Alicia Silverstone.

Very nice. Taking back sun, dude. That's what dudes wanna hear. Yeah. Dudes with Jade hung out with.

Yeah. You know? I'm just saying those bands drew in the ladies and yeah. You go to a Limp Bizkit show. You got plenty of ladies there too.

Yeah. There was a decent number, but it was mostly None of them are all old and haggard like we are now because that's our age group. Oh, man. It's yeah. Now you go to all these shows It's like going to an eighties band in the nineties.

You're like, woah. What's happening with this? Yeah. Peaches wasn't around back in the day when you'd go see, like, Poison would come to town. You would grab see all these old eighties rockers, be like, wow.

Yeah. Someday that's gonna be mean in the nineties. The very first time I saw ACDC in 2008, there was a lot of, 60 year old woman that thought they were 20 again. Got that, the aqua net out blowing the hair up big. And the eighties crowds were always very wild.

First time, I think I saw shirts come off at a show, Motley Crew. And then you're like, dude, you're too hairy for that. Put your shirt back on. What's the Internet whining about today? Apparently adulting.

Alright. Adulting, a word that I don't think the younger folks like to hear. Sorry, Gen z. We're gonna talk about the pains of adulting, because I think it's Gen z reaching adulting time and realizing it's not all fun and games. There's actually not a lot of fun and games when it comes to adulting.

Yeah. What's adult problems you are not prepared for? Alright. I'm gonna see if these things here are things that I do think people have the right to whine about or if they're just being whiny, and you need to get over it. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps as some folks like to say.

Alright. Having to spend money nearly every single day. Groceries, gas, rent, car maintenance, insurance, student loans, utilities, household supplies, subscriptions, medicine, parking fees. It just never ends. Every time you think you're done spending, something will break down.

You gotta shell out $200 to get it fixed. It's madness. Yep. That is a fact of adulting, and I guess you young people listening to the show, take a bit of my advice. Live at home as long as you can.

You know, work a job, build up a good amount of savings. Now it's great getting out on your own. Trust me. It's awesome getting out and living on your own. I live alone right now, and it ain't too shabby.

But it is very expensive. Alright? Especially if you end up having children or pets. K? Like, I got a new kitten, for example.

And, oh, I see a lot of people like, I wanna get a pet. Alright. Well, let's break down some realities for you here. You get a cat. You have to feed it, number 1.

Cat food, if you wanna feed them right, you gotta get that wet food and the dry food, and you don't wanna just buy the garbage. Alright? Gotta get them something good for them. It's expensive, and they eat a lot, even kittens. Alright.

My kitten probably eats more than the full grown cat. She loves to eat. She's a grown girl. Then you gotta get all these shots and things like that. You know, right when I got her, I took her into the vet to get the, basic, you know, checkup and initial shots.

I don't remember what that bill was. A $150, we'll say. Alright? Then recently had to take her in to get her fixed, get a microchip, and get, you know, the second round of shots. She might have actually been to the vet 3 times now.

Yeah. Because there there are a lot of shots. And don't be all I'm not getting my cats. Not getting my dogs their shots. I'm anti vaxx.

Get your pets their shots. Jeez. So anyway, to get her fixed, microchipped, a bunch of different shots and stuff, that ended up being like $400. $400. Now the if I was smart, I would have done a little research beforehand, and there are vouchers you can get to get your pet, fixed for a certain you know, like, a a really good price.

But, you know, they only have so many of those, and there there's probably people more hard up than me. So it's okay. I can pay my vet the full price rate. They could've told me I could find a voucher somewhere, but that's okay. I love the vet that I go to.

Might have people from there listening. You guys are great. Shout out to the east side pet clinic. But yeah. So that was just, you know, just to get the cat the basics.

You know? $400. We'll say $500, $600. Right? That was expensive.

And then she climbed a tree one day and wouldn't come down. I had to get a guy over to climb the tree, an arborist to get her out of the tree. You know, I let her outside for one of the first times. Up the tree, she goes, and she doesn't know how to get back down. It's about to start storming.

She's up there crying. Alright. I'll fork over some more, though, to get that guy down. Yeah. You do have to spend a lot of money as an adult.

Alright. And, yeah, we've all complained about the grocery prices as of late. I get it. I get it. Alright.

What else do we got here? Adult problems you are not prepared for. How many chores there are? Yeah. You kids who whine about chores, wait till you move out on your own.

You're gonna have a whole new level of respect for your parents unless your parents are trashy and they they don't do any chores and, you know, the the house is just a a nightmare. That might make you wanna do chores even more. You know? When you get out on your own, you'll be like, I'm gonna keep my place clean. Well, that's a lot of work.

Alright? It's a lot of work. You heard me complaining about chores earlier today. I just need to do some tidying up, and I'm like, oh, I don't wanna do the chores. I don't wanna mow the mow the yard.

Where my kids at when I need them? Time to do some chores. Alright. What else do we got here? So far, these are adult things that you should be prepared for, being very expensive and tons of chores.

Decision fatigue. Alright. You're telling me I need to decide what I'm going to eat for every meal myself. Plan ahead. Make sure I buy the correct groceries and blah blah.

I have this problem often enough because sometimes by the time I get around to finally going, okay. I should eat some food, it might be 7 o'clock. And I try to get myself into bed if I'm smart, like 8:30. So 7 o'clock will roll around, and I'm like, oh, I haven't even done the dishes. I need to do dishes in order to be able to cook the food because the microwave is not hooked up.

So I can't just microwave something easy. Therefore, it's going to take me at least a half hour minimum to cook something with the oven. I guess I'm just gonna go get fast food. And then I'm like, oh, jeez. You've been eating a lot of fast food.

You're probably gonna have a heart attack. You're gonna die. Don't do it. Don't go get a cheeseburger. You just saw that article on Reddit where some guy who was in his forties had a heart attack and had to give up red meat.

Look at how you've been eating. You're gonna die. And then I don't know what to eat and I panic. And then I sit there going what place can I go? What can I eat?

What am I gonna do? Then it's 8 o'clock. I'm like, I need to be in bed in 30 minutes. I shouldn't eat right before bed because I might get acid reflux and have some problems sleeping. And I'll wake up in the middle of the night and I won't feel good.

And then I'm gonna be tired at work, and I'm not gonna wanna go into work, but I can't take the time off because I only have so much PTO. I can't lose my job. I got too much work to do because I need all that money to spend on the cats and everything else that I gotta spend money on. Yeah. Decision fatigue, that can be a major problem as an adult.

Shout out to the winco deli for saving the day when I, wanna pretend, like, okay. I'll go get some of that, deli salad. It's got a it's got veggies in it. I I'm gonna die. Okay.

What else do we have here? Oh, a collar. Maybe they've got some adult problems. K Bear, you are live on the show. Please keep that in mind.

Who's this? Holy crap, Victor. You need to come hang out with the redneck and let your hair down for so to speak. I don't have any hair left. That's why I said so to speak.

So to speak. That that's fair. That's fair. Hey, I'm just talking about how how my brain works, trying to share it with the world. This is a this is adulting.

We we need to we need to get you out redneck and his brothers and just let you wind out a little bit and just relax, not worry about anything and have fun. Well, one of these days, I'll feel like I've got, you know, you know, it's funny because I do have plenty of downtime. I sit around and watch TV a lot and relax. But, yeah, it's it's usually the before bed when life panic kicks in. So but don't worry.

I'm okay. All is well, the redneck, and I I hope you have a, great rest of the week, the weekend approaches. Yeah. It's it's been a heck of a 2 weeks, but the wife heads off to North Carolina, Saturday. So Alright.

Well me and the kids are gonna be following her. Well, y'all be careful on the move and, have fun as well. And, good to hear from you, man. You will. Don't work too hard, Victor.

I'll try. Stress level lows. I'll try. What anybody says. We've been eating red meat for 100 and 100 of years.

And we I think we'll be fine. We've had short lifespan for thousands of years as well. So, it'll be okay. It'll be okay. Alright.

See you, man. Day, Victor. You too. Peace. Hi, peaches.

Hi. What's going on here? What's up with you? Oh, nothing. Alright.

Just going through, new jinx show tracks. Alright. Cool. That'll be fun if we get them in the system and ready to go by Saturday. They gotta stop cussing.

Well, metal heads like to swear. You know? It's fun. You know? Or at least send out the radio edit.

Well, most metal bands don't get radio play. So if I was putting out a new song well, I actually, I've always made radio edits of my songs even when it was kind of absurd to do so because, like, you know, some of the jinx jinx show songs we get that are sprinkled with bad language. Yeah. I've made a few songs of my day that were filled, packed to the brim with horrific language, and we still made a radio edit of it. And I don't think I would even play the radio edits of, some of those songs now.

I know Pale Face Swiss is one of the most popular metal bands out there, and they cuss like a 7th grader learning the f bomb. Mhmm. And because swearing's fun. Sure. It's fun and it's, good for your health Yeah.

As well. Mhmm. It's good for your health. Why can't we do it on the air is beyond me. Because of, the old school and, antiquated FCC regulations, you know, which only us and broadcast TV, which nobody watches anymore.

Only those two entities have to abide by these stupid regulations that aren't even clear. There's not a list of words you can and can't say. You have to leave it up to, well, could this be considered obscene in your community? Who knows? That could mean something very different from Idaho Falls to Rexburg, and we broadcast in both.

So we just have to guess. Peach is what I was talking about here, which you you could probably chime in a bit here. Adult problems you were not prepared for. You moved out on your own about 3 years ago. Mhmm.

Anything that took you by surprise being out on your own, it was like, I didn't realize it was gonna be like this. Maybe, like, remembering all the bills you have to pay. Dude, I've got a spreadsheet at my house because you know how terrible my memory is. Yeah. I have a checklist for each month and, I go through it because otherwise, I would forget to pay bills for sure.

And sometimes I pull up the checklist and I get so mad. I'm like, I swear I paid that. And also what took me by surprise is the amount of mail I get for other people when you move into an apartment an apartment for the first time. Oh, yeah. I still get mail from the people who used to live at my house 10 years ago.

The people over at GEICO must send out, like, loads and loads of mail every single day. I get so much stuff from them. It's ridiculous. Yeah. That's probably why the the rates are going up.

All that paper mail they're sending out. Sure. Yeah. It's not getting any cheaper to send something in the mail. Stamps are 75¢ or something.

When are we gonna, like, finally go to all digital mail? Because I I know I'm an old school guy. I like doing things the old school way. But when it comes to mail, just give it to my email or something. I don't wanna go through all this whole envelope.

And there's a whole bunch of junk mail too. I don't know what's junk, what's real, what I have to keep, and all that. I hate it. Yeah. I've gone to paperless with most all of my bills.

There's very few that I have them send me a paper bill. The only one that I absolutely insist that they send me a paper bill is Idaho Falls Power. And do you get your power through Idaho Falls Power? I know they're The city of Idaho Falls. City of Idaho Falls.

Yeah. That's what I get it through. Yeah. Okay. Me too.

City of Idaho Falls. Now everyone who works for the power company, City of Idaho Falls, is great. Fantastic folks. But whoever made the decision that you're gonna charge $5 to pay your bill online, what's the deal? Oh, I What is the deal?

Hide that fee in the bill so I don't know about it. You know, be like the cell phone company. Just lump it in with all of your other fees. That's the thing I hate the most about that too. Not only is the $5 fee just stupid.

It's when they ask you at the very end, do you wanna donate? Yeah. Nobody at that point is donating anything or, like, you want even more? I don't care if I'm helping people in need. You just took $5 from me.

Right. That's $60 a year. And then you have the option to get sent a paper bill, and you can mail them a check or drop your, payment off at the drop box So I gotta at the power company. I gotta take time out of my day to go over there and do that myself. It's a no win situation because if you wanna drive over there, you've seen my truck, it costs gas.

It costs time. And so you also have to pay $1 to get them to send you a paper bill. I also got something else that I wasn't prepared for. The amount of times I will have to leave work to go watch somebody do something to my place. That's true.

Like the, glass pane for my patio door. I had to watch the dude. Took him 15 minutes. I left here at, like, 3:45 yesterday. He was waiting for me outside my apartment already.

He was supposed to be there at 4. I'm, like, okay. Come on in. Fix the store. Gets it done 15 minutes.

Boom. Out of there. I came back here. I'm, like, he could have easily just done that himself. That is another pain of being an adult peaches.

Yes. And you have to talk to your boss, be like, hey, I gotta go. They gave me this time frame Right. And they're gonna deliver something. It's a 4 hour time frame and they always show up at the very end of it.

And luckily around here, it's, you know, very easy just to text Jade. I can't imagine, you know, dealing with one of those bosses that guilt trips you and being like, well, you should catch up on, this thing here and, you know, not go over there and do that sort of I know. Task. I'm I'm so grateful that we have bosses that are supportive of regular life things like that. Mhmm.

Some bosses aren't. And, you know, a final jab at the billing for city of Idaho Falls Let's see. Do it. I I I just wanna get it out there that they could get away with hiding these fees. Oh, they So that people don't know about it.

And they secretly make the fee more money each time. Like, I know last year it was like 3 or $4. I thought it was always 4.75. And I'm like, okay. Who decided?

Let's increase it by 75¢. Yeah. Am am I wrong that $5? I thought it was a flat $5 or is it 4.50 or something? For me at least, it's like 4.75 around there.

But if I just round up to 5. Yeah. If I'm paying more in fees than other people, now I'm really mad. Well, you're a homeowner. Maybe that's it.

If you live in a house, they charge you even more. They wanna give you that excuse of, like, hey. You you own this home versus, you know, Peaches who lives in, like, a 900 square foot, 2 bedroom apartment. Now this is all just complete speculation. I could pull up my Idaho Falls bill and see what it would cost if I went and paid it online.

But sometimes, you know, like, stamps, for example. I mentioned stamps are 75¢, so you pay a dollar to get sent the paper bill, then you just pay 75¢ for a stamp, and then you gotta fill out the thing, and then you stick it in the mail. You're still paying $2, basically. Just figure out a way to hide the fees so I don't see them. I'm looking Out of sight.

I'm looking up City of Idaho Falls right now because See what the online payment is. My the bill was 9225, the first one that I sent to me. That's not too bad. Ended up paying 96 75. Okay.

So it's 4 4.50. For 50? So you might be paying more 50¢ more than me. Maybe it is 4.50. I I don't know.

I I rounded to 5. That's still 4.50 too much. Get rid of the get rid of the stupid thing. Well, or just hide it. Hide it.

No. Don't even hide. Don't be like a terrible company. Just, you know, send the total. That's it.

And then boom. Done. Don't be one of those places that like, you know, oh, the tip is in the bill. Like, no. Just get rid of tipping altogether.

It's stupid. Pay your workers a fair wage. Well, yeah. That's a whole other subject here. Yeah.

You know, tipping and server wages. Tipping culture, I hate. If somebody ever tells me if you can't afford a tip, don't go out to eat them and smack them. Well, peaches, yeah. That is part of eating out.

I don't care. I do what I want. No, peaches. That's I tip and they don't need I don't need life lessons. That's a I don't need life lessons.

That's the boomerest thing I've ever heard you say is, right? I'm not. Right? If I'm gonna go out and eat, I shouldn't have to tip. They pay the service $3.

Tip. I'm just saying, like, there's no need to, like, have this, like, pressure on the customer to pay the workers themselves, you know. I I agree they should pay servers at least minimum wage, and then you should still tip the servers. You know, it's it's weird that server wages are what they are because on a slow day, you're making, you know, if you have one customer that's a cheapskate and doesn't tip or they just come in and get a coffee and sit down. Oh, yeah.

I'm waiting to have a coffee maker. You could be making less the minimum wage. Have you seen that new phrase? If I if I get my order taken standing up, I'm not tipping or something like that. Oh, shit.

That that talk about boom risk, statements. But by the way, City of Idaho Falls, like I said right at the beginning, everybody who works there is great. I've had great interactions there. People who have, had to help me out with power issues and things, always fantastic. I know we have a lot of people who work for the city, who listen to Kaver.

You're all great. I just think that those stupid fees need to be hidden because I don't wanna pay it knowingly. Alright? It makes me so mad. It's the only bill that I have to pay a fee to make a payment online.

You know? So, anyway, that's that. Usually, they have a way for you to get out of it, like set up autopay or something like that. I would do it to save I mean, that $60 a year, that's a lot of money to me. But then $60?

If I set up autopay and then it they take my money, I'm like, who took my money? Hook up my money. And I watch it like a fuck. Where'd it go? I have tons of bills on autopay, generally, because they give me a discount.

You know, they're like, hey. We'll give you a 5% discount if you set up autopay. Or, like, my home insurance company called me the other day, and they're like, hey. You know, your policy's getting renewed. Do you wanna save 5% on your policy by going paperless?

It's like 5%. Yes. I do. 5%. Yeah.

Don't send me anything paper. You got my email. Fantastic. It's how it should be. It's 2024.

Alright. Anyway, I better end this break. Okay. I've I've calmed down now. You know, I had to take a breather like the redneck said and sorry.

You know? $5 is $5. So when I run for city council, the main part of my platform will be elimination of unnecessary fees in all things billing that we have to deal with here in our east Idaho communities. That's right. No unnecessary fees.

Vote Victor Welt. Do you ever wish you could decide what a band's set list is? I'm sure you do because anybody who's really into a band. You're gonna go to the show and there's gonna be some songs that you wish you could've heard but you just don't get to hear. Like that song we just listened to, Vicarious by Toole.

I would have much rather heard Vicarious live than the pot, for example. Also, I would have much rather Toole played all kinds of songs than calling voices. Calling voices is fine. It's a unique, you know, live experience because the band all comes out, sits together at the front of the stage. You got Danny Carey playing guitar, but yeah.

Give me lateralis instead. Alright? You know, just let's pass. Toss one of, many other tool songs at me. Give me some of that 3rd eye.

Anyway, I was just listening to that song thinking that song would have been sick to hear live. I've heard it live before, but many moons ago back in the day. Alright. And before I bail out of here, I mean, I had a variety of topic options to talk about. I saw a quote from Mark Cuban online that I was gonna read and start raving about how extremely wealthy people should pay taxes but I was like, yeah, avoid that, you know?

Might as well stay out of the political stuff for now. It'll never cease to amaze me though how you know middle class and poor people have somehow been Talked into thinking that, yeah, it's okay for these, you know, billionaires to just not pay taxes. It's fine. Yeah. I tell you.

I I love paying my tax bill. It's great. Yeah. I love how my life situation changed last year and I was punished by the IRS for it and now I have to pay them a bunch of money back simply because my status changed in the middle of the year. Well, that's gonna affect you for the whole year.

We gotta get them back taxes even though okay. Whatever. Take my money. Take my money. It's fine.

I'm loaded. Alright. Okay. We could talk about, I guess, things guys could do to try to make the ladies like him better. Sure.

This is positive. Minor things that are very attractive on men, but they never seem to realize it. Right at the top. There you go. This this is a good one.

Just listen. Just listen. Alright? And pay attention and remember details of conversations. These kind of things should be common sense to guys.

But guys are so dumb sometimes. But some of these, also, I go, well, I wouldn't have thought of that. And is that that important? Good posture. It's good if you wanna avoid back pain, but what?

Slouching? You ladies don't like it? You don't like if I kinda kick back? Sorry. I'm trying to slouch in this chair here, but it's unslouchable.

Alright, dudes. Apparently, you know, you gotta bust out a genuine smile. And, apparently, smiling is good. I I could take smiling in a political direction too. Saw somebody complaining about smiling online earlier.

I'm like, smiling? One person was frowning. Another one was smiling. Neither are okay. People are weird, man.

Oh, what else do we got here? Now now it's just people saying, keep telling me more. I'm gonna become the world's perfect man. A lot of people really into dude smiling, apparently. Somebody actually commented on the photo I posted for National Radio DJ Day, and, like, yeah.

You look really happy. Like, I don't know. I thought it was the the best picture I had. The best of the bunch. Not a fan of looking at myself in photos.

No. I gotta always smile. Come on. I smile a lot. You can hear it in my voice.

There's a radio tip. If you smile while you talk, people can hear your smile. Yeah. Can you hear it? What about if I frown?

Can you hear if I'm frowning? I was smiling while I was claiming to frown. I I think I should leave. I think I should leave. End the show.

It kinda spiraled out of control today, I feel like, which is either good or bad depending on what type of listener you are. I hope you enjoyed it. But, yes, I'm gonna get on out of here. I'll be back for the new hour of madness and mayhem powered by Jalisco's, and I'm gonna go dream of Chipotle burritos. Alright.
