#0027 - Please don't send me back to the 1950's. - 07/22/2024
Let's do this. Really, the only downside to the job I do is look at the clock. Alright. That is the only downside to my job that comes to mind right at this second on a Monday morning. These hours.
Alright? It's early. So I'm thinking it's time to quit. It's time to quit, and I'm going to take on my new job as a full time baby name consultant. You can make some bank doing this.
People are making it, like, $350 an hour, helping parents come up with names for their babies. Yeah. You heard me right. $350 an hour. How hard of a job is that?
Hey. Here's some weird names. I hope you like them. What's the worst thing they could say? We don't like those names here.
Here's another $350 Why don't you spend another hour trying to come up with something else? Hey. Because your job's to come up with names. Not that the parents have to like them. $350 an hour.
Yeah. I was reading this article at the New York post website, And these people who do baby naming, they throw together a little questionnaire. Alright. What are names you don't like? Because inevitably there are going to be people who have ruined a name for you.
Yeah. All it takes is one person to ruin a name. Yeah. To where you would never wanna name your child a certain name. Right?
I've got a few I could throw out there, but I'm not gonna do it. So you throw together a questionnaire. What names do you not like? You know, how about some examples of names you do like? You know, what how many syllables do you want the name to be?
Do you want it, you know, short or long? And then I'm guessing what these people do is just sit around on Google and just look up baby names and then act like yeah. Yeah. I I sat here with the candles going and ohm and, you know, I reached out to the cosmos with the powers of my mind to find your baby name. They're just sitting at the computer raking in $350 an hour.
Yeah. It's one woman. She does about 15 clients a month so I'm guessing she works about 15 hours a month. You know, as for what she's billing, I don't know, but I'm guessing she works about 15 hours a month, and that work consists of googling. And she makes, like, $63 a year just doing that.
Seriously, you be people need help with your baby names. I've named stuff. Alright. So I I could hook you up. Forget $350 an hour.
I'll do it half price. Alright? We'll go even less. I'll do it for $100 an hour. It's a bargain.
You give me a $100. I mean, it's gonna take me at least 10 hours to figure out your baby name, so we'll just call it a cool grand per baby name. I I and I'll give you a good variety of them. K? I'm gonna put 10 hours of work into your baby name.
I swear. $350 an hour I mean how hard is it to come up with the baby name? It's not like it's that big of a deal. If you don't like it down the road, if you're like, I wish I would have named him something different. You just start calling him something else.
People call me all kinds of stuff. It doesn't matter what I'm I'm pretty sure no one. No one calls me by my actual name maybe once in a really great while like the doctor or something yeah so yeah you you can call yourself or your your child whatever you want you know Don't don't pay people this kind of money for this kind of stuff. That's money you could spend on your baby and you're gonna need that money. Alright?
Diapers all that stuff it's very expensive. Alright? Don't waste your money on the naming portion. You're about to be hurting money wise well, till the end of time. Alright?
You never stop having to give your kids money. Alright? Take it from me. Obviously, trying to dig into the news today. Everything in the news is about the presidential election.
Yeah. We had, president Biden bow out of the election, the 2024 election yesterday. And so everywhere I go online, that's all that's being talked about. I'm not really gonna dig into it today because we don't really know anything yet. You know, it would appear that the vice president, Kamala Harris is going to take.
Well, she's definitely, pushing hard, and a lot of people are behind her to take the reins as the nominee to roll into the election. But this election cycle's been so insane. I'm just gonna kick back and wait till we really know what's happening before going here's what it is. No sense speculating anything anymore when it comes to American politics. Okay.
So, anyway, that's all I got on that one today. Not gonna dig into it till we really know what's happening because there could be major in fighting. There've been plenty of that in, in that party. So, yeah. Alright.
Wait. I guess I will say one more thing about it. Alright. Everybody was, you know, like, we gotta get these old guys out. Right?
We got the choice between 2 guys who are just too old. So one of them's gone. How about we just wipe the slate clean? All the, you know, seriously, you know, old dinosaurs out and we just run a bunch of young people. Let's have, no incumbents of any sort.
Let's just start fresh. How about that? Nah. Nah. That'd be be too calm and easy.
Right? Be too relaxing for the general public. Anyway, the Summer Olympic Games are starting on Friday in case you care. Wow. Only 9% of adults said they will be watching the Olympics.
Oh, okay. That's every day. Okay. How about some who said they would watch it a little bit? 17%.
Yeah. I mean, the Olympics don't really have the same oomph anymore, do they? Because that was one of these things that united the world and everybody's just filled with anger. Who cares about the Olympic? Maybe I'll have to watch a little of the Olympics.
Oh, sorry. I woke up from I instantly fell asleep out of boredom. Sorry. Yeah. Sports aren't generally my thing.
And it's probably, also due to the fact that I read the sentence, it is national hammock day, and that reminded me of, taking a nap. Though sleeping on a hammock, that sounds horrible right now. I mean, even if you're in the shade, what's the weather forecast for today? 95 again? It's a terrible day to be out kicking it in a hammock unless you're out there, like, right now because I think it's probably about 60.
Later today, though, you're gonna be hating life if you're laying in a hammock. Okay. It's only gonna get up to 90 today only. Oh, wow. Friday, 82 for the high?
Well, as we know, that's 5 days out. Weather man could definitely be wrong. I'm gonna stay hopeful. That'd be nice to, roll into the weekend with the weather decent. We'll see.
We'll see. Looking at a bunch of survey results because I'm dumb, and I wasn't able to find anything better to talk about. Like I said, it's, you know, one of those light news days where everybody's talking about one topic only. So you start digging into survey results to go, alright. Here's content.
Why am I so tired today as well? I mean, I went to bed at a a reasonable time, but I just wanna take a nap. 99% of morning show hosts on a Monday feel like they need a nap. Well, I just made that stat up. No.
I was looking at, survey results about favorite ice cream for 1. And this just baffles me. Number 1, vanilla. You can't eat vanilla ice cream without putting other stuff in it. It's so boring.
That's why vanilla is called you know, like, if something's really plain and boring, that's that's vanilla. And And then coming in at number 2, chocolate, which is not good either. I mean, it's it's not bad. I shouldn't say that chocolate ice cream's bad or vanilla ice cream is bad. It's still good.
It could just be so much better if you spice it up a little bit. You know, like you put Oreos in it and you would now have cookies and cream ice cream, which is a 1000000 times better than just vanilla. Okay. Anyway, other, survey results, Americans trust local news sources the most. Well, yeah, I think at this point, if you have spent time looking at, you know, all the different news articles out there and then you compare them to the handful of most popular national news sources, you realize that they're really dumbing things down and leaving out a lot of information on the major news networks or at least the the 2 that are the worst, I'm gonna say, based on my experience in the last year.
The 2 that make me the most frustrated when I turn on national news to see their perspective on things. Fox and CNN, those 2. Like, if you are 2 networks are doing with this same content and how they're covering it, you end up looking like me with the how much hair I have left on my head because you rip all of it out of your head. You just grab it in chunks and just rip it. I can't take it anymore.
How did they get away with it? Fox and CNN. It's painful. I know there are probably worse. I'm sure there are worse news sources, but those 2 are very popular and that's that's what's frustrating.
It's like, you know, when you see people talk about music just because something's popular doesn't mean it's good. Yeah. You can look at the most popular artists out there and you're like, no. You could go so much deeper with your, musical taste here. This is only, skimming the surface and they, you know, it seemed like they're really just kind of pandering.
Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Pandering to the lowest common denominator. Oh, hurts.
I haven't looked at, what either of those news sources are saying about, the big, presidential election news because oh, I I bet I'd have to take Ibuprofen afterward just just to look into a simple here's what happened. Alright. Let's move along with our day. I'm sure that there's, like, extremist, opinions going on that are just crazy that, again, I don't wanna have to take Ibuprofen on a Monday morning. It's too early.
So no kidding most people would trust their local news the most because they're just giving you the news. You don't have these these personalities that are, you know, attempting to I I don't know what they're trying to do here. You know? Endear themselves to their audience so that they can have a a cult like following I don't know people get really weird when it comes to some news broadcasters it's like I don't know. I guess people are that way with politicians as well.
Some areas where there are fandoms, I will just never understand. Sitting here checking out Peaches' tier rankings. Now Peaches has been churning these out somewhat regularly as of late, maybe during the last week. He did burgers. Now he did, tear maker soda edition.
So we got peaches and a breakdown of the best and worst sodas. Right out of the gate, the first thing that got me was he has a section called terrible. Now, there may be sodas I probably wouldn't buy. Like, okay. I'm at the store.
I feel like a soda. There are probably certain ones I'm just I'm not gonna pick up. But is there really such a thing as a terrible soda? And get out of here, hydro homies. I'm not talking to you.
I'm talking to people who drink soda. Alright? If all you drink is water and you are anti soda, obviously, you're not gonna like any soda. But no. No.
I got thinking about it, On Peach's list of terrible sodas, he's got diet 7 up. Now diet 7 up doesn't sound very exciting to me, but if I had one in front of me, I bet I would not classify the flavor as terrible. Yeah. It'd just be like, it's a diet. 7 up.
And I'm also not anti diet soda. Looking at Peach's list here, does he have any sodas that are diet in even the okay section. It's kinda hard to see here. Alright. He does have fresca in there.
Fresca is a diet soda. I actually had a few Frescas over the weekend, and they were delicious. I would put Fresca beyond okay. I'd put it into the good or great section. Fresca's great.
Even as a, again, diet soda. Squirt's really good too, which is basically the same thing. Peach is, clearly, I think is, anti diet soda. His his whole terrible section is all, like, Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, Coke 0, Diet Mountain Dew. It it's all just diet.
Diet ginger ale. Alright. I would not call any of those terrible. I'd put them in the maybe the okay section if they were something that I wasn't really into, like, you know, Sprite 0. Again, would I walk into a store and grab a Sprite 0?
Probably not. If I'm going for a soda, I'm gonna reach for that Doctor Pepper or something like that. But I I would not say diet soda is terrible. Let's look through some more of this list here. Peaches has as perfection perfection in soda.
He has Mountain Dew Baja Blast, Pepsi, regular Pepsi. I I think that's the kind that has real sugar, cherry Pepsi, and then that looks like like Virgil's root beer, the only bottle of, I guess what you'd call like oh, I don't know. You know, fancy soda. All the rest of this is just, you know, Pepsi, Mellow Yellow, you know, Crush, various flavors of Mountain Dew, blah blah blah blah blah. Now he's got Coke and Cherry Coke in the amazing section, then great a and w, Barks root beer, and a variety of Doctor Pepper's.
Now Pepsi Max, I don't think they make Pepsi Max anymore. Do they? That's a diet soda that that that's another diet soda he's got in his list of okay. Pepsi Max was great because it was, like, packed with way too much caffeine, and it would get you seriously jacked up. I like Pepsi Max because it was like an energy drink slash soda.
But I I don't think it's available anymore. I haven't seen that around for for quite a while. But I I would rank it as good or again, even okay. What would I put in okay for soda? Okay.
I I guess I'd go, like, for me, personally, mellow yellow? Maybe mountain dew? Every once in a while, a mountain dew is exactly what I want. Like, that's the only thing. It's the go to.
But, generally, I gotta be in the the perfect mood for that. It's not a a daily drinker if I was a daily drinker of soda. I think that would be I don't know what happened, but slugging down soda. I've definitely gotta be in the right mood for it. I had some Doctor Pepper and Fresca over the weekend.
That's right. I was wilding wilding on the soda this weekend. But I also had, like, boring, seltzer water and, you know, that kind of stuff. So, you know, you you spruce that up a bit, and you're going Doctor Pepper with sugar. Yeah.
Alright. Let's look at the sodas peaches hasn't tried yet. It's amazing to me peaches wouldn't have tried, like, grape soda or maybe is it just specifically crush brand? Because there's like strawberry, look like watermelon or something all these different mountain dews all these different diet peppers or diet Doctor. Peppers, Fanta, you know, you never given that a world peaches.
Surge, I would understand because surge ain't around anymore. That was, like, really cruddy Mountain Dew. Again, Mountain Dew, I've I've gotta be in the right mood for that. Surge was one like, alright. It's gonna have lots of caffeine, but it just didn't taste good.
Kinda like Mellow Yellow. I mean, didn't taste great, I should say, because I wouldn't classify it as terrible. It's cruddy and not good, but it's not terrible. Yeah. It's still okay.
It's soda. Crystal Pepsi. Why even put these on the list if they're not available anymore? And crystal Pepsi I remember it it tasted just like regular Pepsi it's just weird because it was clear Anyway. Alright.
There's pizza. Peaches tier rank it. Peaches should do, pizzas. Alright. To make it really hard for me to say on a Monday morning.
Now might be a really good time for you to get angry. That's my secret, cat. I'm always angry. Yeah. Queuing the outrage on the Victor World Show today.
We're gonna talk about a couple of characters from entertainment that are not real and people losing their minds over these characters. No. It's not a I don't like this storyline thing like we saw with the boys or any other form of entertainment in the last decade. I'm not the writer, but I don't like how this went. No.
First, we've got Hello Kitty is not a cat. What? Alright. You've seen Hello Kitty. Right?
The little cat with a bow? It's not a cat. It's a little girl according to the creator of Hello Kitty. Yeah. Now Yuko Shimizu, the employee who created hello kitty said her design for the character was a white cat with a red bow in its hair, but it's still a girl.
Oh, okay. What whatever. You're just trying to make people mad at this point, aren't you? I have looked at many pictures of Hello Kitty, and that is a cat. Take that from the cat guy.
That is a cat. I mean, even if it is just a little girl, who cares? Right? The Internet cares. That's who cares.
They're losing their mind about this. But not quite as much as Disney fans are losing their mind about the fact that Disney is eliminating their longtime Magic Kingdom character, Liverlips McGrowl. That's right. Liverlips McGrowl. What a name.
Will not be returning as a character when the country bear jamboree animatronic bears at the they're giving him a new name. Now gonna be Romeo, they're giving him a new name. Now gonna be Romeo McGrawl with a similar look but different hairstyle because, apparently, the term liver lips can be associated with alcohol abuse and liver damage. Now, see, I assumed when I was looking at, Liver Lips, you know, it's got kind of a vacant, glossy eyed look going on. So I thought that liver lips was an alcoholic bear.
Now, if you've been to Disneyland like, did you ever go through splash mountain? There's some weird stuff in splash mountain. Alright. That doesn't seem like it would fly nowadays. Maybe they've gotten rid of that.
But there there have been a variety of things I've seen at Disneyland that I was like, this seemed kinda weird in, you know, 2020 or whatever. But no. Apparently, liver lips McGrawl does not wander around with, you know, the big jug with 3 x's on it or something and slurring his speech. I'm a little bit of a growl and I'm hammered. Welcome to Disneyland.
Welcome to Frontierland. I want some moonshine. Here we go. No. It wasn't like that.
I've never heard liver lips being, related to alcoholism, but I don't know where I've heard liver lips prior to this anyway. Maybe from liver lips McGrath. I've heard the phrase, liver lips. Hey, liver lips. I I just, never assumed it meant much of anything.
Let's see what Google says. Liver lips, meaning a person with thick, dark lips. Okay. Let's let's dig in here. The Oxford English Dictionary, liver lips.
The earliest use of the noun was in the 18 forties. Well, it doesn't seem to say what what angle they were going for here. There's not a lot of information on liver lips, but I I, again, don't think that it comes from anything relating to alcohol. Right? I think Disney's just kinda jumping the gun here.
Because, again, the character does kinda look like it's hammered. Liverlips McGrawl, very glossy eyed, kinda like a, woah, hey. I mean, liver lips McGrawl could have been, you know, stoner bear as well based on the look on its face. But people are furious about this name change. If you look at the YouTube comments on this one video I pulled up called Christmas with liver lips McGrawl.
Everybody talking about, dude, how dare they change them in? Liver lips, one of my favorite country bears characters. Get out of here, Disney adult. You're you're a weirdo. Alright?
Get over it. Jeez. I'm so tired of the PCBS. Jeez. Just shut up.
Is it how does it affect your day if liver lips growl is now Romeo? This is a person in a suit for a character from a show that no one even cares about. I mean, what are the country bear jamboree bears from? Country bear jamboree aren't they from that, also, not good Disney film, the song of the south? Isn't that where the country bears are from?
Let's see here. Country bear jamboree featuring, audio animatronic figures who perform country music already, you know, Just upsetting to me, the fact that you've got bears doing country music. As a host on k Bear, bears are supposed to rock. Alright. They're not supposed to country it up.
Alright. So they had, bear marching bands. I don't think that these country bears come from anything. It's just a Disneyland attraction. They did release a movie called the country bears in 2002.
Yeah. Far as I could tell, it's not like this is Mickey or something. These are just bears. They're they're like Disneyland's, you know, Chuck E. Cheese.
So who cares if, liver lips McGrawls going away? I swear, you change the name of anything, people are gonna blame it on, people being woke. It's like settle settle down. K? My some of my favorite videos are when people will go out to, like, political rallies and ask people, what does woke mean?
And they just get this vacant look on their face because nobody even knows. Anyway, don't let these things, you know, bother you. K? It's okay to change with the times. It's not the end of the world if something changes with the times.
But what about liver lips? What about liver lips, McGrawl? Generally, I can jump on air and just kinda wing it when I forget what content I was intending to do. But right now, I got so distracted by this horrific article I read that whatever I was gonna talk about before just the slate's been wiped clean. Now I like to start my day with a nice shower, you know?
Just kind of clear the mind out for the day. I don't know. It helps me wake up. Helps you feel nice and refreshed. And you know, if you've ever been out of town, you wake up in a hotel.
Before you get up and hit the road, you want to jump in the shower and, you you know, just wipe everything clean again. Just alright. Start the day nice and fresh. This store is so horrific. There was a man killed by the shower at a hotel.
Yeah. Apparently, turned on the shower and was immediately struck by extremely hot water that knocked him to the floor and then just, Yeah. 2nd and third degree water burns killed him dead. Jeez. Now I don't ever jump in the shower and then turn it on.
That's just unpleasant. You gotta get that temperature just right. So I don't know if this was a situation where, you know, had you just put I I would imagine no matter how hot the water is, if you tested it with your hand, it wouldn't, you know, kill you. You burn the crap out of your hand. You would oh.
Oh. Why is this water so hot? But wouldn't just slam you to the floor and, you know, burn you to death. Anyway, his family won a big settlement. Couple million, but I'm sure they'd rather have grandpa around.
He was an older guy. He was an older guy. Yeah. It looked like the water temperatures reached at least 150 degrees Fahrenheit. You know, no tow tells.
I know you wanna have hot water for each guest, but maybe, you know, you turn it down a little bit, get a different type of system there. You know, if the water's hot enough to burn someone to death, it it's probably turned up too hot. Just throwing that out there. So yeah. Note.
Test the water temperature with your hand, before you get in the shower. And just jump I mean, even if you jump in and you just turn it on and then it's cold right out of the gate, that's not pleasant. Make showers enjoyable. Alright? They should always be enjoyable.
Don't brush your teeth before you eat. That's what one dentist says here. This is doctor Vikas Pringa better known by his TikTok followers as the London dentist. Says you shouldn't wait till after you've had breakfast to, brush your teeth. You should do it before you eat breakfast because, I don't know, while you're sleeping, the amount of saliva your body produces drops.
Saliva's what protects your teeth against bacteria. So the bacteria in your mouth are having a field day and they multiply overnight. And if you eat in the morning before you brush your teeth, you're feeding that bacteria, and then they, you know, release acid which is causing tooth decay. So then you're just rubbing those acids into the teeth. I guess you need to brush your teeth before you eat.
Alright. I'm not a dentist. K? I'm not calling this out as being a fact. This is just what I saw at express.c0.uk.
And the guy is a dentist, so I don't know. Might be something to think about. Next time you see me, a bunch of food in my teeth. I was obeying, you know, the the rules of the TikTok dentist. Alright.
The London dentist. I don't know. What else is going on here? Alright. Lesser known dangers of hot cars include common items left in vehicles according to experts.
Things you should not leave in your car because they may burst into flame. Plastic water bottles. Apparently, the perfect storm of conditions would need to be present for this to occur, but it could happen. You know, both the bottle and liquid need to be clear. Sunlight entering the car just right.
It goes through the bottle in the water and then it lights a piece of paper on fire. Next thing you know, car burst into flames. Chance is pretty small of this happening, but not impossible according to ABC. That's right. Yeah.
Plastic water bottle. Not an item in my truck I would have been very, you know, concerned with till now. Now I'm going Alright. We got 95 degree temps on the way. Do I have a plastic water bottle in my truck?
Is it gonna burst into flames? Now obviously, you shouldn't leave anything with the batteries in your vehicle, which people probably do. Especially those lithium ion batteries. Bam. They'll blow up and not I mean, we got some serious scorching fire action if you have one of those burst into flames.
So sunscreen, anything that's in an aerosol container, it's hot out there. It sucks. You gotta be careful. Last thing you need on a really hot day is your vehicle actually bursting into flames. K?
So Yeah. Just be careful with the type of items you leave in there. Also, anything that's alive, don't leave that in your vehicle. K? Should be common sense.
But I'm just throwing out the reminder, just in case. Alright. Why are they telling millions of people in Texas to avoid using their cars again? Oh, to improve air quality. Texas is a nightmare.
Is it not? You know, I think there are still people without power from, couple weeks ago when the hurricane hit. But you think that we deal with some cruddy air quality during fire season here. Texas dealing with fires. Also, just general pollution.
So they're celebrating ozone action day and just like, just don't drive. Okay. Easier said than done. Okay? Good luck.
Good luck, Texas. Could you imagine? Hey. Could you just, like, not use your car? Yeah.
We're here in Texas where our politicians might have certain beliefs when it comes to, you know, pollution and climate related issues. But why don't you just not drive because we we just wanna put our heads in the sand. We we don't need to work on long term solution. Just don't drive today. Oh, my gosh.
Yeah. Good luck with that one happening. Oh, sure. Just, let me get the bicycle out. It's only a 110 here.
I'm gonna ride my bike, you know, 30 miles to work because I work in the city. What are they thinking in Texas? Alright. Anyway, I got more freak news we'll get to throughout the program here. Alright.
Since I've been kinda negative here, how about ways to be happier? We'll do that really fast. K? Do these things. Go with the flow.
Alright? Become absorbed in what you do, and you'll get in a state of what they call flow. And then your time's gonna pass quickly, and you're feeling good. And then do kind things for people and nurture your relationships, express gratitude, and celebrate good news. Alright?
Do all of these things. Times are rough. People are stressed. But if you do those things, you can make yourself feel decent. Freak news powered by Greasemonkey.
Voted Idaho's best oil change. Back in a minute. It's the Victor Will show. We got peaches in the house. Happy Monday, peaches.
Happy Monday. Did you ever, as a kid, play ding dong ditch? Yes. Seems like as a big guy, it's not a good game to play because you you're easily spotted. The one one time we failed big time time was my friend, Bobby, and he, went to go prank his neighbor.
Rings the doorbell, runs away. Didn't realize her brother was outside in the garage watching him the entire time. So that was fun. Yeah. Did, anybody ever, like, attack you for doing so?
No. Okay. Who's gonna attack me for ding dong ditching? I don't know. Crazy people.
Because some people get really bothered by ding dong ditch. You know, we had the sheriff in Blackfoot a number of years ago who thought he was getting ding dong ditched and, you know, came out and threatened people and, you know, completely lost his mind. To me, ding dong ditch is not that big a deal. Like, if somebody rang my doorbell and then there was nobody at the door You have a camera. Well, I do have a camera.
Well, I do have a camera. That's the problem with you. You can't ding dong ditch anymore because there's so many Ring cameras in people's doors. You could still do it, though. And it makes it even more funny because the person inside's gonna go, wait a minute.
I see who it was. They still did it anyway. That's pretty funny. I don't know. People take this very seriously.
Well, if I if I were to get ding dong dished to my parents' place and that dog was still alive, Daphne, oh, it would have been horrible. Because the dog would go crazy? She would just be barking the entire time for 20 minutes, tearing up the pillows, you know, going after the couch. But that would be even if somebody stayed at the door. Right?
No. She's she was stupid enough to just keep barking. Yes. And then the person was long gone. Yeah.
So it wouldn't matter either way. The doorbell rings, the dog's gonna go nuts. Right. So ding dong ditch or ding dong. Just hey.
Hey. How's it going? You get the same result irritating dog. Alright. Alright.
Yeah. There was a guy in Maine who, shot a teenager. Get pregnant. Sweet prank, bro. I'm retaliated.
I thought it was a nerf gun. Now the the teenager did do ding dong ditch at 1 in the morning, which That's terrible. That's not a good idea. It's rude for 1, but you're also getting people that are asleep and I don't know. People aren't as rational when they're half awake.
I can't imagine what I would say if somebody rang my doorbell 1 in the morning. I would be very mad, but I I wouldn't start blasting off rounds. You know? Blasting off rounds comes for life or death situations. Not there's nobody there.
And then you just start, you know through the door. Yeah. You know, start blasting off, toward your neighbor's houses. Is a teenager dead? Or I hope not.
I didn't read that far. I just saw ding dong ditcher shot by, neighbor. I don't think they're dead. The art the article doesn't say. Yeah.
Walk in patient suffered a gunshot wound. Doesn't say where they were shot or he did get him. He he shot the teenager. Now, technically, couldn't this dude take him to court and win? The person who was shot?
Yeah. Probably. There have been situations where people, actually I think it depends on the laws in the state you're in, but there's some weird laws where people have been shot, I think, inside of people's homes and have sued them. I I don't know how it ended up turning out, but I mean, I I think if you're in a situation where you can't prove life or death and you almost kill somebody or maybe even if you do shoot somebody, you're gonna have a bad time in court. People jump to just shooting too fast sometimes.
Oh, did you see that road rage video that popped up? I don't know. I see a number of them. Which one was it? The one guy that walked into the car with the gun, the do he lifted his finger at the driver.
The driver didn't know he was just lifting up his finger, shot him. Well, yeah. If you reach in your pocket as you walk up towards somebody's window, you might have a bad time. And it was all over the Internet. It was on TMZ too.
No. No. I hadn't, seen it. I didn't look at the Internet a ton over the weekend. Good.
I watched a lot of TV. I I checked out the Internet when you sent me, you know, the, the Biden news Mhmm. Yesterday. So I I glanced at that, and then I just tuned back out because I knew it was gonna immediately explode into everyone on the Internet speculating 10,000,000,000 different you know how it is when any news drops. It's no sense looking at it for a few days.
Right. Because it's just talking heads and Internet pudding heads telling you what's happening even though they have no idea what's going down. I think we gave way too many people who are, ignorant of the situation power by being able to voice their opinion. You see those dudes all the time that haven't played a single sport in their life commentating on sports. Talking about how this professional player sucks, they're not in the top five or something like that.
And you see some 5 foot 10 nerd telling some you know, athlete how he just is terrible at basketball. I think that It's so weird. I think it goes for any field though. Because like Oh, that's what I'm saying. It's like we started with that then it expanded.
You know, we've seen people talk about how radio works online. I have no idea. We've seen people talk I I saw somebody talking about how concert booking works again. Oh, again, the same people. It's always the same people.
Right. Criticizing the same venues and such. I'm going to park my truck. That have no idea how concert booking works, but they'll be happy to just lay it all out how, you know, so and so just doesn't know what they're doing. We had people talking about our transmitter, and I'm like, you have no idea what a transmitter even looks like.
I know. I don't even know. It it doesn't matter what field. The Internet is filled with experts now, and they are glad to share their opinion and thoughts in the blink of an eye to let everybody know how it is. And the problem is the people eat it up and just keep the cycle going.
We've got a whole bunch of people who know nothing about nothing, all talking about the nothings they know nothing about. That's right. And it just never ends. And you're the expert. Shut them down with facts and logic.
That's right. I am I am a expert in many, many fields. So I'll bring you my sports report here in a minute. Sure. Go for it.
You know, since I know everything about that. You see ESPN the Ocho coming back? I'm excited for that. What's that again? Is that where they do crap like excel spreadsheets?
Yeah. You know, all these The dodgeball championship, robot wars, all that fun stuff. You know what? At at least it's they're having fun. Yeah.
Alright. I got no problem with the Ocho. No problem with that at all. Alright. Let's talk about the smirking man on an airplane who well, he ended up in jail.
What a nightmare this couple's relationship is. So got this guy and his girlfriend getting on a flight. Immediately, they start fighting, which is annoying. Alright? Just wanna get where you need to be.
You got people fighting on the airplane. So the guy apparently gets dumped by his girlfriend. She's like, we're done. So they start swearing at each other and he yells out, she has a bomb in her suitcase. I can just imagine being one of the other passengers on this flight.
You're like, we're never gonna get where we need to be. I really need to get out of Florida. I can't take it here anymore. And then you're stuck on that runway while they bring in the bomb detection jobs. Yeah.
So if you're in any type of situation relating to air travel, you cannot use the word bomb. K? And also, this isn't a good way to try to get your girlfriend to hook back up with you. If you start yelling she has a bomb in her suitcase on a plane, she's probably still going to want to break up with you after all of the legal issues that you have to go through when you're dragged off of this flight. And you're gonna get in trouble as well.
This guy, he's gotta pay, like, $25 in restitution. Sound like he's a habitual troublemaker looking through the article, actually, because he had a bunch of other charges as well. Alright. Listen. If your significant other steps onto an airplane and immediately starts talking about, hey.
Where can I fire up my vape in here? And if they're immediately being unhinged on an airplane, I know you're gonna wanna dump them right then and there because that's what happened here. She dumped him quick before they'd even taken off. But you you should probably wait till the end of the flight. K?
For the sake of others, and so you can get out of Florida, get where you need to be. You dump them when you get back into the airport. They can get dragged away by security when they start screaming about bombs then. And you you save everybody the hassle of having to go through all of this. Alright?
I know it's gonna be uncomfortable to have to sit there with this idiot during an entire flight. I don't know how far they were going. But for the sake of your fellow passengers, do anything you can to to think about everybody else. Sometimes you can't put yourself first. Alright.
Guess we could take a little look at rock and metal news. See what's going on. Mastodon's Bran Dailer says we've just been working hard making 2 different projects. Interesting. Not a lot of details going on, but apparently, 2 new mastodon projects, and it's not a double album.
Alright. I'm I'm guessing, what, a rerecorded version of an album or a Christmas album? No. No. Come on, mastodon.
Not gonna be dropping a Christmas album. Right? Super proggy. Maybe that's just what Christmas needs. It's probably like an acoustic album and one normal mastodon album.
I don't know. All that he'll say is there are riffs involved. Well, no kidding. It's Mastodon. I would assume there will be riffs.
It would be a big shame if there was something Mastodon related and no riffs involved. Let's see. Elder, one of my favorite bands, is dropping upcoming live album live at BBC Mightavail Studios, and they dropped, 1,000 Hands from that release online. Cool. But I'd prefer new studio material myself, but but that's fine.
That's fine. Good for those guys. Getting some new stuff out there. They kill it live, so I'm sure it's gonna be really good. I suppose I could go listen to that.
Another metal news. Zeal and Ardor, which is a great band if you've never checked them out. Got a new single out called Hide in Shade. Another that I should probably check out. I'd I'd be more excited to listen to a new track from Zeal and Ardor than a live elder song, but that's simply because it's new.
It's something actually new. Butcher Babies have split with vocalist Carla Harvey. Kinda surprising news. Not a lot of details as to what's happened there, but I believe she was a founding member. And I don't know if they're gonna go on with just one vocalist, but it seems weird that Butcher Babies would continue on without her.
You know, we did some, great great giveaways with butcher babies back in the day. We went out and, did the zombie, paintball hunting. That that was really fun with Butcher Babies. I I hope they're able to continue on. You know, very nice people in the entire band.
What else do we got for any metal news? Trending news. Apparently, Metallica's 1991 album art sucks. What's what's that about? Rolling Stone published their 50 worst album covers of all time, And, they got is it the black album?
I mean, I wouldn't call it great album art, but the worst of all time? Limb Bizkit landing at number 1? Oh, come on. There there's gotta be much worse. I'll have to take a look at this list, and maybe we we do that for another break there.
But there there have to be worse album covers than the Alim Biscuit album. The hot dog flavored water album. I mean, look at this Leo Sayer endless flight. That's a that's a terrible piece of Albemarle. Coming in at number 21.
Way worse than the, the Limb Bizkit. I mean, the Limb Bizkit Albmart isn't, like, great, but I mean, look at Creed weathered. That deserves to be on the list at number 3. Well, I just figured out well or why I'll never be rich. I don't got it in me to work these stressful jobs.
Yeah. The 23 jobs that pay over 200 k a year. Like, oh, sounds very stressful. Like, you wanna be a surgeon? I don't think I could handle being a doctor.
I don't think I could do it. You know? You got people like me coming in. Help, doc. Help.
Oh, what does this mean? Oh, I know it. I know this is the end. And they're like, dude, you've been sitting on your arm with your arm leaning up against the desk at work. That'll make your arm go numb.
You're fine. Get better posture, idiot. Yeah. Then you start actually cutting into people as a surgeon. Cool.
Way too much pressure. Way too much pressure. Couldn't do it. Couldn't do it. Psychiatrist, same thing.
What if I say the wrong thing to this person? What if I screw that up? I I say the wrong thing all the time. You hear me do it on this show. You know?
I'm rolling live, and sometimes I just flub it up. And when somebody's life is at stake, you don't wanna flub it up. No. Couldn't do it. Couldn't cut it as a psychiatrist.
Now, orthodontist. That sounds a a little bit more reasonable. I've gone through orthodontic care. I mean, it doesn't sound fun because for the most part, you're dealing with, probably children and teenagers and, you know, they're not listening. They're not using their rubber bands.
You know? Why don't I ever get my braces off? Because you don't follow instructions. But it looks like you can make pretty good dough being an orthodontist. It doesn't sound too bad.
But you do have to deal with people's teeth. He's gotta be in, you know, rooting around in people's mouths and people are dirty. You know? They're gross. Peaches were talking about ways to make money.
High stress jobs for the most part. Surgeon. Would you do it? No. Not me either.
I'm not gonna, attention to unintentionally hurt or kill somebody trying to, you know, cut them open and take organs out, put organs back in, rearrange things. Now, what if we, you know, tone it down to a less likely to kill someone route? What about a dentist? Would you would you take that job? To me, that seems too stressful because people get all scared before they go to the dentist.
You're gonna be dealing with a potentially unruly, you know, clients at times, unruly patients. I might be like Brian Cranston, Seinfeld to take a laughing gas myself before putting it on the patient. That's right. Dentist does sound less scary than surgeon, but I've also had, like, butcher jobs done on me by a dentist before. Mhmm.
And, there's a lot of work. Plus, you know, people's teeth. I was talking about orthodontists a minute ago. People's teeth, sometimes they, like They're all weird. Get infections and things.
Right. And I would imagine some of the gross parts of that job are not talked about Okay. Very often. Here's a question for you. Would you rather be a dentist or the doctor pimple popper guy?
Or I think it's a girl. I don't know, Kenny. That sounds really disgusting, but I bet it pays better than the dentist. You think so? Maybe.
Popping pimples better than the dentist. You'd be surprised how much fun the dentist may. Because they're not really popping pimples. They're popping like cysts. Like, huge things.
Yeah. Yeah. And I do think that that is probably worse than being a dentist because I would imagine there's risk of infection and things like that. Those videos are just I don't know who's intrigued by them. He must be a mad person to like those types of, types of shows there.
I mean, I've watched those video. We used to make Jade sick by watching those videos when we'd record the noon hour. I'd just run them on the computer because he would he'd get very nauseated. Yeah. I would do it.
Like it. Well, if I had control to that monitor over there, Peaches, I would show you doctor pimple popper videos. You can't force me to look. Yeah. I don't know if that that job would be worth the pay either.
If that's what you did every day. Oh, like a foot doctor where you see, like, the the dead skin and stuff and old people feet. I would think even if you're, like, giving people, what are they, manicures and pedicures? I would think that would be a gross job too. I you know?
I can imagine you're making faces if you had to do that job for, like, a day to day job. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Could you wash your feet before you come in next time? Because What's that smell?
Oh, that smell. Can you smell that smell? Anesthesiologist is way too scary of a job. I I don't think there's enough pay in the world for that because, you know, you'd be worried that you don't give somebody enough of the meds, and then they're they're laying there. They appear to be sleeping, but they're actually awake.
That's one of my nightmares every time that I have to get anesthesia is that it won't actually put me out, and they're gonna be, like, sawing into my face while I'm awake, but I can't let them know. I'm also I'm also worried they're gonna see me, like, this this guy's a big dude. Let's give him the max dose. And next thing, you know, I'm out for 2 days. Yeah.
Exactly. Alright. Investment banker sounds, it sounds sleazy to me. Is sleazy? There's too many terms when it comes to, finances and those jobs on Wall Street.
Yeah. When I picture those Wall Street guys Matthew McConaughey is the leader of the cast Yeah. Exactly. Chest. Yeah.
And they're all jacked up on who knows what. Just rip out all the people. Absolutely not. Investment banker sounds dirty. Probably, if you're a sadist, maybe one of the less stressful jobs, you know, cold calling people to get them to invest in your Oh, jeez.
Penny stocks like those guys in the Wolf of Wall Street. Yeah. I don't think that's how most investment bankers work, but, being CEO of a company again. All these, they just have too much weight. Pediatrician being a doctor for children.
No. Way too scary. You screw something up. Parents calling you. What did you do to my kid?
You'd I you'd be terrified. You're gonna give kids something and they're gonna have a bad reaction? Even if you don't screw anything up, parents will like then my my kid came home with, bruises. What'd you do? And Oh, yeah.
Yeah. I like, all of these jobs that pay really well, I'm noticing they they've got to be stressful, and I don't know if it would be worth it to me. I I get stressed out about day to day stuff. I don't need the weight of I might kill somebody. Well, imagine, like, being, like, a a professional sports coach and your team does bad.
And then it's all your fault. They don't blame the team. They blame the coach even though the team sucks for the most part. Yeah. That's what happened with, the Green Bay Packers.
They fired their coach Mhmm. But they kept the quarterback who's getting older. You know, he's like the, you know, politician of the NFL at this point, Aaron Rodgers. Yeah. He's so old.
What type of a guy? LeBron's the same way. He's old but he's still performing but at the same time, if you have him on your team, who are they gonna get rid of? LeBron, one of the greatest players of all time or are they gonna get rid of the coach? I say get rid of these old fogies.
If you can't deliver anymore, it's time to go. Well, LeBron still can, but I mean, he's not Well, if he's still doing a good job, then you're right. He's casually, you know, playing the game. He's not going a 100% and Why would you wanna keep playing when you've made that kind of money? He's a billionaire.
There's no you you won, essentially. I mean, you gotta really love playing the game. I guess, you know, if I won the lottery, I'd still do a radio show from home, a podcast or something just because I like to do this kind of content. But, it wouldn't be, like, I'm gonna wake up at 4 AM every day and do show Yeah. No kidding.
If I had a $1,000,000,000. I do you really think Howard Stern is live on radio anymore? No. No. He's sleeping in.
He's cool. Ryan Seacrest, maybe. Because Ryan Seacrest is a madman. I bet he's I bet he's pre recording because he is so busy. He's out live with Kelly and Ryan.
He's doing, that show. He's doing, like, America not America. He's just still doing American Idol, isn't he? I don't know. I I don't pay attention.
And then Wheel of Fortune, I think he's doing now. Yeah. He's prerecorded. I'm sure the radio show is at the bottom of his priority list. Surprised.
If you're hosting Wheel of Fortune, radio show's at the bottom of the priority list. I I would think. I wonder who's given him his content because his content's horrible. I'm radio prep sites? I mean, he's just doing the same garbage as everybody else in.
Pre produced, fake prank phone call stuff. It's it's pretty much More of the roses. You have Ryan Seacrest stating themes on on the air and then you have the 2 girls that either agree with him or intentionally start a little bit of an argument but doesn't get too too edgy. Can't get too crazy. Right.
Because we everybody gotta get along. No yelling at each other. So yeah, I think I'll stick with looking at all these high paying jobs. I think I'm gonna stick with this one. It's this is stressful enough.
You just made me laugh. I don't need to worry about I just imagine. Cardiology appointments and things like that. I'm just imagining Ryan Seacrest yelling at his ghost. Don't be on top of me.
Don't be on top of me. I'm Ryan Seacrest. I was looking at a question that was posted on Reddit, and my reaction to this question is, you wake up in 1950. You're 20 again with no identifiable paperwork, no house, no connections, only a suitcase filled with $50,000, what are you going to do? Now 50 g's back in 1950, I would imagine, is worth a lot of money nowadays.
Let's see what that would be. $50,000 in 1950 compared to now. That's $650,000 according to amortization.org. What what a website. If you're not familiar with amortization, it's the way you get screwed when you, you know, finance your house.
You gotta pay for all that interest basically upfront. It it's pretty, pretty gross. Anyway, sorry. I just saw that word amortization, and it reminded me of that terrible new interest rate that I'm dealing with from having to refinance my house. Okay.
Anyway, back to this question on Reddit. You wake up in 1950. You're 20 again, and you got a suitcase filled with 50 grand. Now, everybody on Reddit is just talking about all the ways that they would make their riches. You know, if you've got 650 grand, the equivalent of that in a suitcase, you invest in all these companies or buy property in certain areas, and then you're rich.
You're rich. Oh, but okay. If you're 20 in 1950, that would mean that you were born essentially in 1930, which means if you make it to today, you are going to be let's see if my math's right here. Would that mean you're at 94? 94 today?
If you're 20 1950, that sounds horrible to me to be 94 today. No offense to anybody who is 94 today. I just think that living in the 19 fifties would have sucked. I don't think it would have been good. There's a lot of people that, oh, we need to go back to the ways of the past.
We need to go back to how things were in the fifties. I think that would be horrible. Alright? For all kinds of different reasons. And I've said it before, but I'll say it again.
I think that despite all of the problems in the world, we got some problems. And we have certainly regressed as a society in many ways. But I think despite all of that, I would much rather be living right now than at other times in our past because I think that overall I really do think that overall, We're heading in a positive direction. I think so. Now things could happen that would really make me afraid that okay.
Never mind. Just bring on the meteors. But I think overall, we're headed in a positive direction, and we are living in the best times ever. Alright. I'll be watching little bit of TV in the last week.
K? Now I am also a fan of modern amenities, which would include things like great air conditioning, giant TVs, great entertainment, endless entertainment at our finger fingertips. I'm I'm very satisfied sitting in my living room with the AC on, hanging out with the cats, watching some fantastic TV with my lady who's on the other side of the country, but we can, you know, sing things up together, watch the shit the same shows, and hang out from afar. It works out pretty good for the situation. If we were living back in the fifties, it would suck.
Couldn't do any of that stuff. The TVs back in the fifties, you remember those TVs from back then? They were garbage. They're, like, black and white, had the, round picture. What about those video games back in 19 fifties?
Weren't they good? No. There weren't any. They were garbage because they didn't exist. How about guitars?
Yeah. We had some great acoustic guitars back then. Maybe some electrics. You know what they didn't have? Amps with crushing distortion.
The 19 fifties, as far as Victor Weltz goes, were garbage. Alright? You didn't even have the Beatles yet. What what did you have in 1950 for music? Little bit little bit of some good jazz.
Any tool in 1950? No. No. There wasn't. Back then, if you were on the radio, you probably had to talk like this into the transatlantic speech boys.
And if you played rock and roll, well, they might put you in jail for playing rock and roll on the radio. Radio in the 19 fifties was garbage too. I mean, really, what was so good about the 19 fifties? I would have much rather lived in the sixties and the fifties because the music was way better. Alright?
Music and entertainment started improving drastically in the 19 50 or 19 sixties. And it's continued that way as time goes on. I know that some old people might be like, you know, the music nowadays, it's no good. Whatever. There's great new music.
I listen to a lot of Sleep Token over the weekend, and I gotta tell you, that is new music, and it is really good. Really good. And, again, as I pointed out many times on this show, if you're living in the current day and age, all of that old music, you've still got it. You can listen to it right now. I'm grateful to be living in the times we are, for sure.
So, yeah, if I woke up in 1950, was 20, had a suitcase filled with $50,000, I would just be, like, why? Why did I wake up in 1950? Sure. I can be rich in the the good times down the road. In the 20 twenties, I'll be rich, but I'm go I'm about to die because I'm 20 in 1950.
How did I end up in this nightmare? Please take me back to being 40 in 19 or in 2024. That's what I'd say. What's up, bro? Hey.
You know what? I go under a lot of pseudonyms online. Peach is also known online as Nathan Johnston. And he was That's a stupid name anyway. I would totally make that up.
He's posting in a group called fugly emergency vehicles. And, we've got a picture of an Idaho state police cruiser. You can tell Let's play the game called who got pulled over recently. Yeah. Exactly.
Exactly. That's probably how every single photo ends up in here. I'm shocked. If somebody taking pictures of the vehicle, it pulled them over as they leave. I'm shocked there's no judge my cop on Facebook or judge this cop on Facebook.
Now I'm I'm gonna look through some of their other photos because I don't think our police cruisers look, too bad, the state cop cars. I kinda like them. Yeah. Now is isn't Idaho starting to use Cybertrucks? I thought that I thought I saw an article I don't think so.
I think other prices are great. You get pulled over by the you get pulled over by a cyber truck. You're driving like a lifted Ford F 650. You're ticketing me? That's not a real truck, bro.
Yeah. Like, they drive what are those, chargers? I think Those are the worst. Chargers? Yeah.
I think that's what the cops drive. Like, look at this. What it this looks like a mom SUV. Like, what is that, peaches? I imagine getting pulled over in a mini Yeah.
Exactly. Like, that's what most of these are and they don't look cool. Like, what's wrong with the pickup truck? A pickup truck's a little weird to be pulling people over in or arresting people. I mean, it seems inefficient for gas.
Yeah. Exactly. Like like a Dodge Charger. Like, you just told me that inefficient for gas. It's like that one gets, like, 11 miles to the gallon.
But, you know, if you gotta get up and go fast, you gotta catch some criminals. You gotta be able to go high speed. That would make sense to have, you know, a muscle car to me. Truck like, this truck, I'm guessing they use it for things other than pulling people over. Pit maneuvers or causing people to shoot you.
Like, it's got the big hitch on it. They're dragging people out from somewhere. It's got the dual rear wheels, the dual tire axle. I just figured this would be a great page to to show Lieutenant Crane for traffic school powered by the app. Yeah.
Like, these other cars do look pretty fugly, but I don't know. Look at that one. Wow. Look at that. It's the police minicom.
The police officer. We're coming to get you. Here's your citation. Yeah. These overseas police cars.
Sure. Look at that one. Look. It looks like my shoe. It's about the same size.
How are you gonna put Peaches shoe. How are you gonna put someone in the back of that thing? Well, have you ever been to the rodeo? Somehow the clowns get in and out of those. Thank you again for tuning in to the Viktor Wilt show.
