The Viktor Wilt Show

The Viktor Wilt Show High. Everything's working. Yay. Welcome to the Victor World program, Wednesday, June 12th. Relentless.

All of these delays starting my day. Jeez. Anyway, how's your morning going? You can feel free to call and tell me all about it if something interesting happened at 208-535-1015. I'm just kinda getting moving for the day here.

Had some coffee. Didn't seem to do what I wanted it to. What do we got going on in my existence today? Should be should be an interesting one. Got a radio friend who's gonna be stopping by and, crashing out at the house this evening.

Sean, who you may have seen a picture of me with. Did I post a picture of him? Anyway, he, works at KUPD in Phoenix. Gave me the old tour of the studios there when I was visiting my daughter a couple months ago. And at the time, I was like, hey.

Ever traveled through and you need a place to crash, hit me up. Turns out he's heading to, I don't know, Seattle or something. Maybe Spokane, somewhere in the vicinity of here and not Phoenix and was going to be driving by. So I was like, alright. Well, yeah, don't waste money on a hotel.

My house, cheaper than that. I haven't decided what I'm gonna charge him, but I will figure that out, throughout the day today. Nah. Just plain. My house has been a hotel, for the last week, as a matter of fact.

Had a few friends over. First time I had multiple people at my house stay there, just friends, in I don't know how many years. It was awesome. It was great. I don't know.

Just over the years, in the in the past life, that just wasn't happening. And, it was very refreshing, very refreshing and fun. And over the next couple weeks, the kids are gonna be coming. So we'll have 4th July mayhem. It's, it's gonna be good times.

Speaking of 4th of July mayhem, you know what you're gonna be doing for the 4th July. Right? You're gonna be hitting up Snake River Landing for the event known as Riverfest. Yeah. Hanging out with us.

And, of course, it all culminates with the Melaleuca Freedom celebration, biggest fireworks show west of the Mississippi. It's gonna be awesome. Might as well plan ahead right now and, you know, make your day. I'm gonna be hanging out at the stage, hanging out with the bands all day long. So I'm super easy to find, Hopefully, the weather tones down a bit because that can be a very hot day.

I'm not much of a out in the sun kind of guy. And 4th July is the one day that I have the best chance of being confined to a tent, you know, in the heat all day. And this time of year, the temps can be all over the place. Like today, 88 for the high, but Sunday, 73. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a 4th July with highs in the seventies?

I don't think that's gonna happen. I would imagine we'll be in the mid to high eighties because we always are. But for my sake, wish me a little bit of luck. I'm not, again, a huge fan of baking in the sun all day, but I do it to ensure that stage is run properly. Alright.

Show has begun officially. I'm gonna, I don't know, find real content for you, share it with you. If you wanna hear a song or whatever, you can call me at that same number. 208-535-1015. If you don't wanna do that, you can email me, victor@kbert.fm.

Kbear, what's happening? Hey, Victor. I just wanted to answer your question. So my morning's going good because I wake up to you guys every morning and to listen to kbear. And, also, I was on the could you play Medicate Me by Rain City Drive?

Yeah. I could definitely get that going. And, who's this? This is Kelsey. Kelsey, appreciate the call, and you're listening every morning.

And, yeah, I get that track on right now. Awesome. Thank you. Have a good day. Hey, you too.

Thanks, Kelsey. See you. Bye bye. Let's talk about rating songs. Just played a new one from Poppy.

If you are listening on the Kay Bear 1 zero one app or if you're listening on our website over at riverbendmediagroup.com, kbear.fm. We've got a feature where you can thumbs up and thumbs down songs and it's always interesting to see how these things play out because there's basically no rhyme or reason to it. Some songs I would expect to see some divisive results. Like, if a song has poppy in it, I expect to see divisive results. I don't know.

Something about poppy makes some people crazy. However, we have some songs that people really like with poppy in the thumbs up, thumb down game and others that they just hate. It's it's 1 or the other. Apparently, Poppy with knocked loose, currently a very popular one. Maybe it's because it's just relentlessly heavy.

One thing I'm noticing here is I think the metal heads are doing most of the thumbs up and thumbs downing because the metal tracks tend to do pretty good, though. Metallica's screaming suicide, lots of thumbs downs. So I just wanted to encourage you to play the thumbs up, thumbs down game Cause it's fun for me to look at. I don't know if I'll ultimately make any kind of programming decisions from it, but I do notice if a song seems to be universally hated, but we need more people. So I have a a bigger pool of respondents before I'd consider this information accurate as far as what the overwhelming KBAR majority thinks.

It's like all the other polls out there. Yeah. They ask, like, we asked 300 people nationwide who they're gonna vote for and then every news source out there is like, you wouldn't believe the poll results. 300 people nationwide is not a very good sample. Alright?

That I I put 0 faith in those kind of results. So wanted to, again, encourage you to play the thumbs up, thumbs down game. Some of the divisive tracks we've got floating around right now would include the latest from 5 finger death punch. We've got that Olivia Rodrigo that I you know what? I don't care.

I put it in rotation simply because it's more rocking than a lot of the stuff on the rock radio charts. It's a statement. Alright? It's just a statement. It's like a Victor Wilt style radio protest.

Alright? So it's not universally hated by the Kay Bear army either. Plenty of thumbs up on that one. What else is divisive? This is weird.

Chokehold by sleep token divisive, but take me back to Eden, which is, like, 9 minutes long, universally loved. Chokehold, short, much more, simple, doesn't have rap in it, much more divisive. Again, no rhyme or reason to a lot of this this voting that I'm seeing here. So get involved. Have some fun with it.

It's, you know, a way to pass the time if you're listening on one of our digital platforms, and I appreciate your feedback. Hey, random listener. Why don't you get a job in radio? Why don't you do some radio programming and help out this industry? I was just reading about 97.1, the Eagle in Dallas, Texas.

Everybody very excited. This station had returned to rock music. Everybody except me because it's an Iheartmedia station, and I figured it's gonna be garbage as is typical of most rock radio stations out there. The playlist is gonna suck. They're gonna play weak new music.

The rest of the playlist is going to be just boring with nothing exciting thrown in the same kind of playlist you can find anywhere in America. However, I did figure they do local hosts. I mean, Dallas is one of the biggest markets in America. What what market is Dallas? 5?

This is a top 5 radio market. Okay. Well, what did KEGL do? They hired a syndicated morning show, which I'm fine with this particular morning show, the Woody Show. Peaches, I think, has some friends who work there.

It's a fine enough show. Not my cup of tea on what I wanna listen to for a radio show, but it's it's fine. It's fine. However, in market number 5, on what is known in the biz as a pretty legendary rock station, I think it's pretty stupid to not hire some type of morning show that could engage with the local market. This is why rock radio sucks everywhere.

Generally, management gives no love to the rock station. I don't even know why they have a rock station at a lot of these companies because they don't care about the station at all. Looking at the playlist, it's the generic Iheartradio national playlist. They aren't even playing new music. Alright?

They have one current. What a current is in radio is a song that is is new. It's a current song. They have one that shows up on what is classified as currents on this system known as media base, which is a radio charting system. So one song that the system classifies as a current.

I I just wanna see how many we've played in the last I don't know what what it would, default to probably a few weeks or so. Let's see how many songs it would classify as a current on Kay Bear here. Alright. Currents only that we played, we'll just do in the last in the last week. Now some of these are not really currents because the system is going to recognize songs that nobody else in radio has played at all as current.

So even if they're a few years old, it's gonna recognize a lot of the songs we play because we have one of the widest playlists in rock radio. Okay. In the last week, the system recognized 115 songs on our system as being currents, 1 on KEGL. And they've got a morning show out of LA. Boy, they're gonna move the dial.

Let me tell you. That's gonna get people so excited hearing the same songs you could expect on any Pandora, YouTube, Spotify, and especially radio playlist nationwide. They don't even play new music in the middle of the night. Usually, radio stations that are like, yeah. We're at new music station.

They play most of their new music in the middle of the night when nobody's hearing it. I can't believe these guys aren't playing new music in the middle of the night. That's actually really weird. These guys are I mean, the they've gotta be the most gutless modern rock station that I've seen because they do play songs from within the last few years. You know, like Linkin Park lost.

They got a couple of those. But aside from that, I mean, this station, it it's sad. It is really sad. And if they keep it programmed like this syndicated show week playlist, how long do you think before they dump the station again? Because they've dumped it before.

They turned it into, you know, the freak where it was nothing but talk. At least it was local. That that was probably a better station. This is a sad, pathetic radio station in its current state. Anyway, rip in advance to the Eagle and sorry, Dallas.

You know, if you nobody if you know anybody in the Dallas area and they're looking for a rock station, our app is available worldwide for free, and we probably have way, way less commercials because I've listened to Iheartmedia stations in major markets. You're probably getting 12 minutes at least of commercials an hour. I mean, if not more. I I don't know. I'm not gonna tune in and find out, But, yeah, tell your homies in the Dallas area if you're listening to this show, if they want a music radio station.

I know on the, on demand version of the show, you don't get the music, but I highly recommend checking out k Bear 101 as far as a rock radio music station goes. Yeah. Tell your friends in probably any market to check us out, but especially Dallas. It's pathetic. Yo.

Howdy, and good morning to you. Hey. If you didn't hear me mention it yesterday, wanna let you know about a variety of giveaways we have going on in our app, the k Bear 1 0 1 app. Lots of different prizes you could win. I recommend getting in on all of these immediately because we'll be doing drawings for these very soon.

For example, the Ronald McDonald family room summer movie series, all to benefit the Ronald McDonald family room at EIRMC. Great local facility helping out families. Go see the sandlot at Melaleuca Field this Saturday night. You might be able to go for free. Giving away family 4 packs, you can sign up to win one of those in our k Bear 1 zero one app.

Now I recommend you buy some tickets because, again, it is for a good cause. But, hey. You go for free. Gives you some more money to spend on other things that will benefit the Ronald McDonald family room, food and such. Plus, they got a lot of great activities for the family.

You're looking to have some fun with the kids. They'll have face painting, scavenger hunts, all all kinds of different stuff going on prior to the movie. Now we are also giving away tickets to another movie for those of you who are maybe a a little bit older. I mean, the sandlot is a good movie for people of all ages. It's a it's a classic.

But we've got a new movie that only has 2 showings. Ghost's debut feature film right here, right now at regal Edwards grand teton, June 20th 22nd. We're giving away free tickets. All you gotta do, enter to win in the k Bear 1 zero one app, and you might be able to go for free. Peaches and I are gonna be there.

I would not miss out on an opportunity to see ghosts debut feature film in a movie theater cause there's only so many showings. Will it ever be shown in a theater again? I don't know. Will we get some new information on the next iteration of ghost? I'm guessing so.

We might even get a new song or something. I should probably call the label and be like, come on. Tell me what's going on. I won't tell you listeners, but go see the movie. It'll be fun.

You might be able to go for free too. All you've gotta do is sign up in the K Bear app. So we've got rocking movies and classic kids baseball movies. Why not sign up and try to go for free? Fire up that app.

Click the links. Fill out the forms, and good luck to you. We'll be drawing winners tomorrow Friday. So get on it so that you can be a winner. I'm not saying you're a loser if you don't win.

Alright? But it it feels good to be a winner. Let's pass some judgment on Internet responses to a question. That question being, what's a common social etiquette rule you just don't agree with? And this is one of those great breaks where I've read none of these responses.

I have no idea what angle people are gonna take on this because, I mean, when I think of social etiquette rules, what are some of the main social etiquette rules? I have no idea. No clue. Guess we'll find out. Let's see.

We got, user we were dreaming 316 saying I have never understood why people are afraid to tell someone else they have food in their teeth or something on their face. Now okay. You should tell people in that situation. Alright? I enjoy eating a nice salad and sometimes I will go look at myself in the mirror a few hours later, and I have a chunk of romaine just covering an entire tooth, and I look like hillbilly from down south.

And I know people have seen it. Tell me if I have something stuck in my teeth. Okay? Because I have a permanent retainer on both rows of teeth. It always feels like there's something in my teeth because there's crap attached to my teeth.

Alright? Not, you know, crap. Permanent retainer. But anyhow, I don't think that's a social etiquette rule. Far as I know, most people would say, yeah.

Tell me I got stuff on my teeth. It might feel a little little bit awkward depending on who the person is. But I guarantee they're gonna be happy that you're like, hey, dude. You got, a giant chunk of lettuce sticking out of your teeth. You know, especially if it's one of those really dark pieces.

You know, like that purple lettuce that, you know, it it could look like you've got a major dental problem. And you're gonna wanna know about this just going about your day. So again, I don't know if that's, etiquette rule, but highly recommended you you tell people those kind of things. Alright. Tom Palmer 1979 says, I despise that it's more socially acceptable to be a, we'll say, jerk, than it is to call someone out for being a jerk.

Is it? I I just think if you're dealing with someone who's a jerk and you call them out for being a jerk, especially depending on how you word it, the type of person who's just a jerk in public is likely or at least more likely than a nice person to have an irrational response to what you say to them. And there are people who would take the irrational response to a potentially violent level at times. So I I don't think that it's a socially acceptable thing. I think it's a fear of crazy people because I get it.

I see people being rude all the time and you wanna tell them where to go. But, again, I don't wanna get knocked upside the head because you can just die. Just a note to everybody out there. You know, you you're at the bar or something and somebody's being a jerk. You don't need to try to man up and get yourself in an altercation.

One wrong smack to the head. You could just straight up die. Alright? And that's why you shouldn't just smack people across the head for no reason either. That should be a, you know, only if needing to defend yourself situation because you might kill somebody.

It's not tough to start fights. You're just being a a loser. Uh-oh. I can feel the aggressive alphas getting mad. Sorry.

Settle down. You're not impressive. Alright. What else do we got here? Sims?

I I'm I don't know if I'm gonna say the name of this user, but we'll just go on with their response when you offer someone something and they say no even though they want it and you need to keep offering it to them until it's socially acceptable for them to take it. I'm trying to think here hey do you want this If you really want it, yeah, you should just say yes up front. Why wouldn't you? I saw another version of this, in in the responses here where people offer to help with chores, and you're like, nah. You know?

That's okay. That's okay. It is perfectly socially acceptable to go, yeah. Sure. Hey.

Thanks. You know? Appreciate you helping out. But I don't think it's socially unacceptable to be like, like, hey. No.

You're you're my guest. Why don't you sit down and shut up and enjoy yourself? I don't want you doing chores. You don't have to accept help with chores. Alright?

Again, are any of these social etiquette rules? I don't think they are. I mean, they they sort of fall into this vague realm of responses, but, you know, telling people you have something in your teeth or you sat on something, I don't think there's a social etiquette rule that goes if you see someone sit on another person made the example of a chocolate covered cherry, that could make a real mess in an area that you don't wanna have, chocolate and cherry smeared all over the place because it could look really bad. I'm pretty sure you should tell somebody. The the social etiquette rule is not go, oh, don't tell somebody if they have a stain.

No. Help help somebody out. Alright? Help somebody out. Go like, you look like you had a a bad accident.

You're gonna wanna clean that up. You gotta be careful when taking pictures of people in public. It's rude at times. I talked recently about somebody posting a picture of somebody's cyber truck locally and just trashing it in the life in Idaho Falls Facebook group. Listen.

Just because you personally don't like something, doesn't mean that somebody else can't love it. Alright? Everybody has a different taste in things. When that cyber truck was first announced, I'm sure I was one of the first to say that thing looks ridiculous. I would totally drive that because it looks absurd.

And by the way, shout out to the 2 different people who have brought 1 by the studio in the last week. I I mean, I'm not gonna say names on air. Well, I guess I could talk about the guy yesterday who brought it by because he's he said I could. Can actually rent that one on Turo. It's got a cool chameleon green wrap on it.

If you're on Turo and you look for a local Cybertruck rental, it's gotta be the only one from a guy named Robbie. He let me drive it yesterday. And I've gotta say it was so fun. It was so fun. It was like driving a spaceship.

I I really liked it. Now, obviously, I ain't buying one anytime soon because I don't have the money. I don't have the money for a cheap car with good gas mileage. Alright? Let alone Cybertruck.

But I will say, after driving it and seeing all of the different features and things, I think I would. Even if the modern day Elon Musk annoys the crap out of me, it was an awesome vehicle as far as my personal taste goes. I get why a lot of people would look at it and be like, I don't like it. But still, don't take a picture of somebody's car and go, look at this. It's stupid.

I used to drive a bright red Chevy HHR. It was a very stupid looking vehicle, but I liked it. K? Be nice. You could end up losing your job.

You take a picture of the wrong person and publicly shame them. There was a woman in North Carolina. She saw a guy sitting at the table there, and he had a friend with him Would be an inflatable friend. So, you know, brings his inflatable friend out for a nice meal. This woman took a video of the I guess you could call them a couple.

Shared it on TikTok, and, well, I I don't know if she necessarily trashed the person, but still that went viral, and the boss was not happy that customers were being secretly filmed, put online, so people could laugh at them. Even if you don't generally see a person walk into a restaurant with an inflatable friend. I'm pretty sure I've never seen that happen. So just wanna remind you it can be rude. Alright?

Take photos or videos of people and publicly shame them. Alright. I know that the Internet nowadays is filled with nothing but well, okay. I shouldn't say nothing but hate and just outright rude behavior. There is good stuff on the internet, but it's certainly filled with, you know, a little bit of that.

Okay. Maybe a a lot of bit of that hate and just, just terrible rude behavior that's unpleasant to read. Be the bigger person and don't join in on that kind of garbage. Could we make the internet a nice, fun, nerdy place again? I don't want to be old guy.

Back in my day, the Internet was all text, and you couldn't post photo. It was all text. If you remember the Internet when it was all text, I was gonna say you're old, but no. You're straight up straight up nerd. If you're a long time listener to this show, you know I'm a big fan of books.

I've got a large library at my house. It's always growing. I collect books. I love books. So, obviously, book banning annoys me severely.

Alright? Parent your own kids. K? The end. Well, Florida Florida taken book banning to, like, a stupid next level.

K. There are places where book banning has gotten to be pretty ridiculous. Like, right here. The Donnelly public library had to ban children. That was in Idaho.

No children allowed at the library. Okay. Anyway, there's a book called ban this book by Alan Gratz. It's a kid's book. K?

And there is nothing offensive in it whatsoever. It's a story about a kid who creates a secret library in his locker of banned books. K? No offensive content in this book whatsoever, but it's about a kid who, you know, trying to stick it to the school and making these banned books accessible to his fellow classmates. Sound like something I would have done when I was in school.

Well, Florida schools are starting to ban this book because it teaches rebellion of school board authority. You will respect my authority. Oh, you wanna mock us and have a book that talks about secret libraries? Right. I will ban that too.

Right over their heads is the point of this book. So this gave me a great idea, a great idea that I think I'm going to have to do. You ever seen these little public libraries? I've talked about them before. How I wanna put one in my yard.

It's basically a free little library. Just kinda like a little cabinet with little doors on it. Looks like a little house. You put it in your front yard, and the goal is to take a book and share a book. You know, if somebody wants a book, they stop by.

They get a free book. If people have books to, you know, replace, they they could put some other books in there. You take a book and share a book. I've wanted to have one of these in my art just because I think it's great. It encourages reading.

And there are certain days of the week that a lot of people are walking by my house, so I think that's cool. But what I need to do now instead is I need to have my own little free library but fill it to the brim with banned books and in big bold letters banned books you know take 1 or leave 1 and that's the only thing that'll be allowed in there you know if you want a regular old book you gotta go to another little free library. Mine, banned books only. And, I mean, I I don't necessarily wanna let everybody know where I live, but, you know, somebody's gotta do it. Somebody's gotta do it, and it, I guess, is gonna have to be me.

How big of a library do you need to get, I mean, what are all the banned books? There's probably a huge list because people are so uptight I just find it funny because, like, the type of books that people would actually, if they read the content, have a meltdown about are not on banned book lists because they're like extreme horror that nobody knows about, you know, underground stuff. The kind of stuff I have on my bookshelves inside of my house. The the brutal crazy stories by people like Edward Lee. No clue.

No clue about books like that. When I when I take a look at the banned books well, I mean, look at the one we just looked at. No offensive content in it whatsoever, but I I just laugh at those. I'm like, that? That's what people are worried about?

Jeez. Yeah. Don't pick up anything by Jack Ketchum. Yikes. Back in a few with freak news.

Alright. Where is Little Falls? Minnesota. Little Falls woman injured after trying to walk dog from back of a pickup. That's not walking a dog.

Alright? I don't know what you'd call it because you're not driving. I mean, I guess the dog's walking. Was she standing in the back of a pickup? It's a terrible idea.

We've talked about the Idaho law that's kinda ridiculous that it is legal to ride in the back of a pickup. I wonder what would happen if they tried to ban that. Would people fight against it? I really don't know in this state anymore. I can imagine there would be people screaming about, hey, it's my right as an American to be free to make a dumb decision, like ride in the back of a pickup without a seat belt and put my kids back there.

I could see people fighting for that. If only people around here would actually fight for their freedom on all these other things that we get restricted by the Idaho government. I should be able to go to the library. Okay. Sorry.

We already talked about my new library opening soon. Victor Wilt's banned books library. It's coming soon. Alright. Back to standing in the back of a pickup.

Again, I don't know if standing in the back of a pickup's legal. I'll have to ask lieutenant Crane, but you can ride in the back of 1. You you have to wear a seat belt inside of a vehicle, but you're allowed to ride in the back of a truck from which you could just fly out into the street. Okay. This woman, what do you think that's right.

She flew out of the back of the truck as she was trying to walk her dog behind the vehicle. She was sitting on the tailgate. Unknown injuries is what the article says here. Well, let's see. A fallout of the back of a moving vehicle.

I'm guessing cracked head. Humpty Dumpty esque injuries are what I'm predicting she suffered from. She had a great fall. Hopefully, they can put her back together again. Did they ban that book?

Humpty Dumpty's a gruesome story. Are stories with, very gruesome injuries, are those cool? Or do you do you have to have a ID for those? Because Humpty Dumpty, you always see him as an egg in the illustrations for that story. Ain't nothing in that story that says Humpty Dumpty's an egg.

He just fell. And Humpty Dumpty, he had a great fall. And it was so bad, they couldn't put him back together again. Some walls are really tall. Do I need to explain further?

Alright. Sorry. We need to get to more stories than woman falls out of truck. Right? DOT DOT contractor apologies for profane road sign on I 26.

What did it say, though? You know, I hate when the news reports on something, but you you can't tell what it is. They're like, look at they they drive by and they have a picture of the propane or the profane. Excuse me. Street sign.

The road sign. You know, about road work. But it's all blurred out and you can't see, like, there's a variety of words that it could be. I'm not going to put the idea of what these words are in your head, but there's a whole a And depending on the profanity, it could've just been funny. You know?

You know, guess we'll never never know what happened in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. Do they have comments on the article? Because that's what's really funny is a lot of times these articles will censor something. But then you just scroll down a little bit, and you let the locals fill you in. Like, if you wanna see the most vile comments on the Internet, you just look at local news websites.

Yeah. So as horrible as it gets, People worried about, I I don't know. Anyway, let's move along here. I thought I had at least one more stupid story opened up. Something about, people moving in next to a landfill, and they were surprised that it smelled.

Yeah. Drive around if you're gonna buy a house. Just kinda drive around the area. We see those stories often enough. Others need airplanes all the time making all this racket.

Yeah. Drive around. Like, pull out a map. See if you're gonna live by an airport. Like, look for train tracks.

If you see some train tracks near your house, you're gonna hear trains. If there's an airport, you're gonna hear airplanes. If the local landfill or sewage treatment facility is is right there, it's gonna stink. It's gonna have a stink every now and again. If you're near a farm, same deal.

It's gonna smell sometimes. Just wanna let you know. These are Victor Wilt's, real estate tips. You know, just trying to help out the community. Alright.

Freak news is powered by Greasemonkey. Voted Idaho's best oil change. I'll be right back. I'm just being pummeled with articles about stupid people today. We talk about people at the airport all the time on this show.

I guess this couple assumed that if they sent their luggage through the actual check-in process, a checked bag, that the airlines just don't look at it. They don't scan it. The only place you're gonna have your bag scanned is if you go through security. Well, I wanna let them know. Well, I guess they've let the world know due to the fact this is making the rounds in the national news and probably international.

Your bags are being checked even if you check them, with the airline. K. They are scanning them. When this couple got from LA to Chicago and arrived to pick up their bags at baggage claim, the DEA Chicago division's like, hey. What's happening?

How you doing? Can we check your suitcase? And this woman, Shania Logan's like, sure. Sure. £31 of cocaine.

Or I guess we should say suspected. Allegedly, £31 of cocaine. Now she's with another person, and he tried to run. If you're at the airport, your friend gets busted with £31 of cocaine, and then you run at high speed, well, throwing a couple bags aside, There's a lot of law enforcement at the airport. There's cameras everywhere.

They're going to catch you, and then they're gonna check those bags. And they'll do a grand total on how much cocaine you had between the 2 of you, that being £61.7 of cocaine. What on earth would make somebody think you could get away with putting? I don't know what what £61 of cocaine looks like. Let's see if we've got a picture of it on Google Images.

We'll just go around number 60 pounds of cocaine just to see what it looks like in an image here. That's okay. That's a lot of packages. K. That's like a whole suitcase.

What what are you gonna hide it with? A few T shirts? I mean, people are so dumb. I I will give them props for not holding up the security line. Alright?

You know how much that aggravates me when some idiot in security causes a delay so everybody else is having to wait even longer to take their shoes off and take their belt off and all that stuff. At least they did this in the check-in process, and they didn't cause any delay for other other flyers. And I gotta give props to the airlines for what I would call a little bit of a troll here because they let them make the whole flight. I'm sure they found out about it prior. Right?

They scanned the bag before putting it on the airplane. They let them take the whole flight thinking they're gonna get away with it. Alright. Let's get the suitcase right when you're, oh, I'm in the clear, then they bust them. Top notch.

Top notch. When are people gonna learn you can't bring guns into your carry on luggage? Why why is this so hard for people to figure out? I just simply do not understand. Like, this one, the guy had an antique gun.

It wasn't loaded. And he's like, my dad gave it to me. My father gave me this antique pistol, so I threw it in my backpack and showed up to greet the TSA. Do you know what the fines are like if you get caught with a firearm at airport security? Well, they can go as high as $15,000 in case you were wondering.

You might go to jail. You can check a firearm with your checked luggage. There's rules you gotta follow, but you can look into this if you just can't travel without your gun, you know, you got somewhere to go and you'd need to have your pistol when you get there. There are ways to do it. You have to check that gun with your checked luggage in a locked container.

I I don't know the exact process, but get on any airport website and you could find out. That one article said at the Philadelphia airport so far this year, 15 guns at TSA checkpoints. I mean, you can't bring a water bottle through there. You know? That's why you gotta spend, like, $5 on a bottle of water once you finally get through security because they don't allow you to bring 1.

I mean, I guess you could bring an empty one. But, boy, they're gonna probably, pull you aside. You got you got an empty container. You never know what TSA is gonna do. They're gonna search everything.

So I just wait, and I spend way too much money on a overpriced beverage once I get in. But, yeah, you would think people would just know if you can't bring pretty much anything anymore through security, why would you be able to bring a gun? I don't know. It's never gonna cease to amaze me. K Bear, what's happening?

Hey, on the water bottle, you can't take water as long as it's frozen. Are you sure about that? I am positive about it. Frozen water bottle airport. It can't be fleshy.

It has to be solid ice, and you can, take it in. You are correct. I had never heard this, but according to the TSA website, frozen liquid items are allowed through the checkpoint as long as they're frozen solid when presented for screening. Yes, sir. Okay.

Well, that's news to me. Party. Alright. Thank you. Because, yeah, I'm getting sick of $5 water bottles.

Yeah. No doubt. No doubt. Yeah. I did my research, and, I'm, like, going alright.

Wow. Alright. Thanks, man. Greatly appreciated, and I will pass the word on to the listeners as well. Alright.

Peace, Sam. Thanks, man. Yep. Best listeners on the planet. I pointed out time and time again.

I spout off at the mouth, and I learn something new. Happens almost daily on this program. So thank you again to the caller. I will make sure to freeze a water bottle in advance the next time I go through and, yeah, save 5 $5. It it should be criminal what airports are allowed to charge for items.

And I swear that a few years ago, there was a law at least being talked about being passed where airlines, not airlines, but airports had to sell items at a fair market cost. Yeah. I think that's gone completely out the window. That's, you know, one of those Mandela effect things. You're imagining things, Victor.

That never happened. No. Just plot ahead with as much stuff as you can. Load up on snacks. Yeah.

Packaged snacks, you can bring those through. The people next to you on the airline, you know, on that plane who get stuck eating one crappy Biscoff cookie are gonna be mad when you're eating like a king, but, hey, you can do it. Alright. It's getting weird up in here. It's a great, great content day on the show, I gotta say.

I like it when I'm finding all kinds of stuff in the news, especially if we can talk about Harvard scientists and aliens in one article. This is the headline. Harvard scientists say there may be an unknown technologically advanced civilization hiding on earth. Alright. Had I seen this article 20 years ago?

I don't know. I I probably would have been like, see? See? See? The dumb stories that I share with you?

Look. Harvard believes too. That's right. Beware the reptilian aliens. This story is so great.

Alright. This is from futurism.com. There's apparently a new paper making the rounds. Within the scientific community. A team of researchers from Harvard and Montana Technological University.

Alright. Now, wait a minute here. Let let's just focus on Harvard. Alright. Montana.

You know? I don't know about Montana scientist, but Harvard Harvard has a, you know, that elite ring to it. Just play in Montana. I know we got listeners in Montana. Settle down.

So, anyway, they're saying that these sightings of UAPs, which is, you know, the new classier name for UFOs, may reflect activities of intelligent beings concealed in stealth here on earth, such as maybe underground or even walking among us. Well, if you've met Peaches, you would definitely understand the possibility of alien creatures living among us being a possibility. Alright? Yeah. Just talk to him sometime.

The guy's weird. Okay. So this that's a direct quote from the paper basically. Check this out. May reflect activity activities of intelligent beings concealed in stealth here on earth, e g underground, and slash or its near environs, e g, the moon, and slash or even walking among us, e g, passing as humans.

This is a long article too. And like I said, it is great. Because they start talking to things like, a remnant form of an ancient highly advanced human civilization still hanging around, observing us. Or maybe an intelligent species evolved independently of humans in the distant past, possibly from intelligent dinosaurs. That's right.

Reptilians. And if you've seen some of the more advanced, you know, life forms out there in the animal world. What about them cuttlefish? You ever seen videos of cuttlefish or octopus changing their shape? What about color change in chameleons and things like that?

What about a super advanced reptilian species that can change its appearance and look like people? Like people. This is from Harvard. I wanna remind you. This is from Harvard that we're talking about, You know, UFOs coming out of volcanoes.

What is going on? Oh, we're living in wacky times. Now they did point out, yes, these are far farfetched hypotheses. And they should be regarded with plenty of skepticism. But hey, we entertain them because some aspects of your UAP are strange enough that they seem to call for unconventional explanations.

That's from Harvard and, you know, Montana, some kind of Montana scientist. Oh, we got a caller? They best be calling about UFOs. I tell you what are aliens. K Bear, you are live on the program.

Please keep that in mind. Who's this? Alright. This is Zach. I got a counter theory for you with the alien thing.

Hey. It's not my theory. This is Harvard's theory. Alright. I got a counter theory for Harvard's theory.

Okay. So what if aliens are us, but from the future? Okay. You gotta go deeper than that. You gotta explain more.

Alright. Alright. I'll get into it. So what if humans in the future discover time travel and they wanna go back and observe their past selves, and that's when we see UFOs? Okay.

So they wouldn't necessarily be aliens, just a, you know, a future version of ourselves that have come back to it it now, hopefully, they've come back to do some back to the future style stuff and change us, change our behaviors from whatever is going to doom humanity in the future. Exactly. You're getting it. Yeah. Because you said, like, oh, you know, maybe it's dinosaurs from the past.

What if it's humanity because, boy, do we seem on a downward path at times. And, I don't know, man. Could they just come out, reveal themselves, and let's clear things up a little bit quicker, get back to, you know, a little bit of rational existence? That would be great. Man, I wish they would.

They do too, man. That that would be wonderful. Be a lot I don't know. It might get kinda boring, though, after the, you know, shock of people from the futures wore off, then I'm sure people would get back to yeah. But does the future really know what's gonna happen?

Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Alright. Thanks for letting me call in.

Hey. Thanks, man. Peace. Yep. Alright.

Fun stuff. Fun stuff in the UFO world. Could the government just come out and tell us what what's going on with UAPs? Come on. It's gotta be such a boring explanation that we'll all be let down when they finally do.

But come on. We we could change the subject, give people something else to argue about aside from politics for a bit. That'd be great. Alright. I wanna talk about fake news.

And this is, like, actual fake news. Alright. Not just I don't like this news, so I'm gonna call it fake. No. Like, actual fake news.

I was just reading an article that fake news portals, like, just these are not news websites that are real. They're created by AI or, you know, shady Russian organizations. Fake news portals have surpassed US newspaper sites. There are more just straight up churn out propaganda, fake news websites than actual US news websites out there. So, please, please do your best to look into information before you share it.

As we head into an election year, I don't know if you're even aware of this because of the way national news works. It doesn't like to get all of the information out there to people. They like to present a certain perspective that they know their viewers are going to eat up and react to rather than just here's the news. You might not have heard about Russian interference in the news during the last election. It was rampant.

It was rampant. So it's probably gonna be worse than ever in the current election year. Please, 1, take a look outside of whatever weird news site you somehow end up on and see if this other information is being presented on any legitimate news sources. Alright? Because you're gonna start seeing weird, unbelievable things.

I see it all the time all the time on my Facebook feed every single day. I see people sharing stuff that I can't believe they actually believe, But they do they believe this stuff and it's just being churned out by again places like Russian propaganda mills. Alright? Do a little digging to see if the information you're being presented with is actually legit. Find some sources, etcetera.

And like I pointed out time and time again, look at more than one news website to get your perspective on the news. Look at what a variety of organizations are saying about a individual story because I guarantee each different national news website is going to give a different perspective on it because they're trying to feed the echo chamber that their audience loves to live in. You're not getting an accurate representation of reality if you are addicted to maybe that's the wrong word, but it does seem right, actually, to one news source. Alright? Trying to help people here with critical thinking and, you know, being able to expose yourself to the true reality of the world.

Oh, this year's gonna get so crazy that if you don't start working ahead of things now, who knows what you're gonna come out believing by the end of it? You know, you've gotta take a look at a variety of sources. And please be aware. You may be reading straight up manufactured, like, actual fake news. Again, not I don't like reality that I'm gonna call it fake.

No. Like, news that it is is designed. It's completely made up just to divide people and make people crazy. I wish I could think of the dumb one I saw just this morning. It was so ridiculous.

You know, it was one of these memes that, you know, so and so actor is going to be leaving this show because blah blah blah. And it was completely absurd because it was some kind of a, you know, leaving based on politics and Yeah. No. No. There's no basis in reality whatsoever, and I saw multiple people sharing it, like, yeah.

Good for them. It's like, no. It's it's just fake. This is just made up. Probably again by a a Russian group trying to manipulate and divide the US.

Please, people. Please. Please. For the love of all that's good. For the love of all that's good.

Try to dig deeper into information. Don't just believe everything you see. Not everything is a conspiracy theory. Sometimes the simplest answer is all you need to look for. The simplest answer.

People get digging real deep on some real crazy stuff. Sometimes things are very simple. Okay? And all it would take to get that information is just look at a few different news sources that are legit. Alright.

I'll be back. I know I'm I beat that, you know, topic a lot, but it's it's important for humanity. It's important for the future of our society that people break free from straight up propaganda. It it's so important. So I'm I'll try not to mention it all the time, but please, please just think about it a little bit.

Just look around a little bit. Things. Well, we could talk about bad things. I mean, there's never anything good when it comes to naked Florida man. Right?

Always, always a bad thing. This is a pretty entertaining naked Florida man story, however. Florida man, 73, defends alleged naked stroll through park during arrest because he's like, come on, man. There are nude beaches in Florida. Here's the thing buddy, you gotta be at the nude beach not just in the neighborhood Now Strolling around on a hot sunny day nude at an appropriate place, it's a freeing feeling.

But you gotta be at the appropriate place. You can't just be roaming around again your neighborhood which is where Rolfe Braun, that's his name, Rolfe Braun was arrested and charged with, you know, a lot of different charges that are gonna lead to him having a very difficult life. He should have headed to the nude beach. Instead, he was hanging out at the Recreation Plantation RV Resort in Lady Lake. About 1:30 PM, just walking the road nude.

Now, we've had plenty of naked Florida Man stories over the years. I wasn't even gonna do this story, but I got a call from another radio DJ in the building. I won't point out which one. He was like, did you read this story? There's a fantastic part of this story that you may have missed.

I'm like, yeah, I I was another naked Florida man. I was like, no big deal. I don't need to talk about it. He's like, no. You gotta see what happened when the cops came to his door, the door of his RV.

So I start scrolling the article and here's here's the paragraph. An officer made contact with Braun at his camper. Braun answered the door wearing a t shirt as shorts with, well, everything exposed through the neck part of the shirt. So I figured, at this time of day, what you might need inside of your mind is the image of a disheveled 73 year old Florida man. K.

Picture 73 year old Florida man. Get that image in your head. You know, the long white gray beard with the mustache that's got the nicotine stains in it. You know, kinda greasy hair. Very tan.

But then what you need to imagine is he's only wearing a t shirt as shorts and the neck of the t shirt, well, that's, you know, right there. Right at his crotch. That's and he's opening a trailer door. Good morning, East Idaho. I know he's in Florida, but still, I just wanted to create some theater of the mind and give you some nice imagery to begin your day, your Wednesday, as you head to work or, I don't know, breakfast.

Holy cow. Today somehow just rocketed by. I hope your morning is also going by at a very nice quick pace. Hope your day is over with soon. You're home relaxing, enjoying yourself like I'm looking forward to as well.

And before I go, I wanted to read through a little bit of an I think it's not an article. It's a post. It's a a question online that might make you feel a little bit better. If you've been through a divorce, you know it can be a petty process. It's aggravating.

It costs tons of money. It takes forever, and things can get really stupid throughout the process. Somebody posted on Reddit, lawyers, what's the pettiest thing you've seen someone fight over in a divorce? And I would hope that these items make you feel better about some of the dumb things perhaps you had to fight over in your divorce. Somebody said the ex husband dragged the ex wife into court because they'd agreed to split costs for school supplies and extracurricular activities.

The older daughter was on the swim team, and the husband was there to argue he shouldn't have to pay half of the cost of the $3 swim goggles. Alright. Bro, shut up and pay the buck 50. You know, sometimes that's the easiest route to take. Just you take a look at things and go, is this worth the fight?

Is this worth the fight? And then you just go, take it. Take that's my best advice for the divorce process. If a fight is starting to erupt, unless it's something really important to you, Just alright. Just take it.

Let's just get it over with. Jeez. Let's end this. This is going on and on. Please just take whatever you want.

Take it. Dollar 50. Dollar 50. Not worth the headache because it's stressful as it is to go through these kind of things. You wanna get yourself, you know, high blood pressure, get all worked up over a dollar 50?

There's gotta be some other things in here that well, actually, I don't know how you beat out a a dollar 50. That's as petty as it gets. Alright. A lamp. Not a special lamp.

Not an expensive lamp. Not one with any sentimental value. Yeah. Just fighting over a lamp. By the time litigation was over, they were in $6,000 deep over the lamp.

Jeez. People are so dumb. Just take it. Take it. Take the lamp.

Oh my gosh. Alright. Fighting over a $40 picture of strawberries. Take it. Yeah.

Like, I had some some cool stuff at my house back in the day that some of it I I really liked. But eventually, I went yeah. Just tag it. It's just stuff. I'll get more stuff.

Very few items that I was, like, no. Unless they were just, like, mine. Like, okay. This is my stuff. I know there's no reason you want it other than you would be trying to be petty.

No. For the most part, just take it. People get really crazy during the divorce process. I'm telling you, make it as easy as you can. You're gonna you're gonna lose all your hair.

You're gonna have come out with a, you know, gray hairs, wrinkles. You'll lose some years off your life. Don't fight over a lamp. Don't fight over a dollar 50. Jeez.

Alright. Anyway, there's that. That was the final piece of content for this program today. I will return, however, for the noon hour of madness and mayhem powered by Jalisco's, which was an excellent lunch yesterday, I gotta say. Had the Chipotle burrito, and it was amazing.

So, yeah, maybe go get yourself some of that. Have a great rest of your day. Thank you again for listening to the show. Please subscribe on whatever platform you're listening on. Share it with your friends.
