The Viktor Wilt Show

Hello, my people. I am Victor Wilt. I am here. I had no intention of taking yesterday off till I woke up in the morning, and it was bad. It was bad news.

I even sent out a happy Easter thing before bed, like, happy Easter. See everybody in the morning, Ozzy in an Easter bunny costume. Next thing I don't just wake up to, oh, brutal throat, sore throat. I mean, it was kinda rough on Sunday, but nothing like what I woke up to yesterday. So, you know, called in, went back to bed after I ran up to my computer and plugged in a bunch of best of crap for the show.

And then I slept from, like, 6AM till one after a full night of sleep. Brutal. And I was still exhausted. Still exhausted, but I stayed up till, you know, the normal bedtime. Crashed out again.

Guess who's still tired? Yeah. This guy. Anyway Oh, well. What do you do?

Yeah. Move along. Anyhow, over the weekend, I had a great live remote. Thanks to everybody who came by and saw me at Teton auto credit. I was scoping out this, it was called habanero.

That was the color. They had a habanero prius and I don't need a car that looks cool. Alright? This car looked wacky and I guess I have a a thing for wacky cars. The last car I drove before my truck was a bright red Chevy h h r.

Yeah. Another strange looking vehicle. The the only reason I'm scoping a Prius is because of, potential of, like, 50 miles per gallon gas. Yeah. That's what I need.

I want to be able to take a road trip on a budget. Road tripping in my truck, man, does it suck. Even a road trip to Pokey, that's like you know pretty much $50 to go there and back. It's crazy. It's outrageous.

So, yeah, I mean, I looked at it. It's not like I even test drove it or drove away with it and got the money for that, especially if I can't make it to work on a Monday. But, anyway, other than that, watch the latest episode of The Last of Us. Holy cow. If you're into this show, do not look at any articles about the show whatsoever.

If you haven't watched the latest episode and you even see the phrase the last of us pop up, don't read anything. Man, the Internet is terrible with spoilers. I just went to Google News and it's like, oh, okay. There you're just that's everything that happened in that last episode. You know an an epic episode it was, one of the biggest moments from the entire game series Probably the biggest moment from the entire game series.

Yeah. Well, at least one of them happened in that episode, and I thought they did a pretty good job with, translating that to, you know, a TV version. There were some aspects of it I was like, yeah, that that wasn't really necessary, but whatever. You know, sometimes I guess, you know, directors and such don't put a lot of faith in their audience being able to figure things out so you just have to spell it out to them. Anyway, it it was good.

It was good. I'm excited to see what they do with the rest of the series and yeah. Just excited to, try to catch up today and make it through the day. Wish me lots of luck on that. It's gonna be a bit of a challenge.

I hate being a day behind, but, you know, at least there was a little bit of decent entertainment in there. Sucks when you don't feel good though because, you know, no matter how good the entertainment you're watching is, if you don't feel good, it just kinda sucks. So did watch, oh, another new episode of Black Mirror as well. That one was fun. Excited to watch the rest of those, but, you know, you tend to walk away from Black Mirror feeling kind of gross.

So, didn't dive back into that yesterday when I was, you know, fully brutalized. But, anyway, for those of you who hate my yapping today could potentially a better be a better day for you because, yeah. The more I talk, the more I'm like, oh, yeah. My my throat doesn't feel great, does it? So I might yap a little bit less than usual.

Yeah. You're welcome. Alright. Time to get the content shovel out and start digging. I'll be back.

I recently mentioned that I watched the Academy Award winning movie for best picture, Anora, which was really good. Like, I highly recommend it. It was not what I expected it to be at all. Really, really good movie. But I just read something that's kinda surprising to me.

However, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Up until now, the Oscars did not require all of the people who get to vote on all of the Academy Awards to have actually seen the things they're voting on. Is that not insane? Well, they're changing the rules. Yeah.

Now you gotta watch them if you're gonna be an Oscar voter. This is ridiculous. Reminds me a lot of radio programming. I'm sure there are a lot of programmers out there. They see the name of an artist, and they're like, nope.

Doesn't fit. I don't like it. Don't even listen to the song. No. How on earth could you have the biggest awards in cinema and not require those who are determining the winners to have seen the things they're voting on?

It's just ludicrous. That's Hollywood. I mean, it's not like they're coming up with anything that creative for the most part. What do you get? A handful of movies each year that are worth watching anymore?

Yeah. Kind of sad. Well, maybe filmmakers know. I guess if you just, invest enough into how do they get the votes? Are they, you know, funneling money to these people or what?

No one needs to see our movie. Pay off the reviewers. It'll be fine. People going to see these movies. I heard it was great.

This movie's garbage. Yeah. How many reviewers actually watch the movies they they claim to see? Let's go to the phones here. K Bear, you're live on the show.

Keep that in mind. Who's this? This is Jay. Jay. Crazy Jay.

What's up, dude? Nothing much. So if you need some of the movies that have won an Oscar before, you would not have saw anyone did see it. Yeah. You know, I I've definitely watched movies throughout the years that I was like, okay.

I do not understand the hype. Now this year, I will say the the winning movie, Anora, was was awesome. It was a great movie. But, yeah, I I was pretty disappointed to read that, you know, people just mark down, that one sounds good. Or whoever pays to whoever bought them a good lunch or something.

Mhmm. That could be it too. I think that that's probably a big part of it because I would imagine they don't have any kind of rules in place that you can't pay off the voters. Yes. I mean, we've seen people paying off voters in national elections.

So, yeah, I think anything flies in 2025. So well, Jay, I hope you have an awesome day today, man. Good to hear from you. And, I hope you guys do. I hope everyone has a great day.

Absolutely. Let's have a wonderful Tuesday and knock it down quick. Yep. Alright, Jay. I'll talk to you later, man.

Alright. Peace. I believe that that song right there is now number one on the rock radio charts. Congrats to nothing more with House on Sand. Hey.

What's up? It's Victor Wilt. Let's talk about the Ka Barret one zero one secret sound powered by the advocates injury attorneys. Alright. Since I was out yesterday, we weren't able to play the game.

And I know it's very sad and disappointing, but we're gonna make up for it today by giving you four chances to guess the secret sound powered by the advocates and win at least $301. That's the current jackpot. Today, we'll play the game during the seven, eight, nine, and 10:00 hours. That's right. Seven, eight, nine, and ten.

Just listen for me to give you the cue to call, tell you it's secret sound time, then be caller number 20. And if you get the secret sound right, you get all of the money in the jackpot. Now as we get ready to play the game, highly recommend you check out the incorrect guesses that have been posted in all of our apps, the k bear alt and cannonball apps. That's where we'll also post clues, you know, as we get a bigger and bigger jackpot, if we don't get a winner. So, you know, fire up one of the apps if you haven't yet done so, and while you're in there, you can also sign up for a chance to for us to call you and give you a shot at guessing what the secret sound is.

Much easier than getting through as caller number 20. So I suppose right now is probably as good a time as any to do this during the 07:00 hour. Is it not? I think it's pretty good time. (208) 535-1015, the number to call for the Kaibear one zero one secondret sound powered by the advocates.

Listen to this. Alright. Gonna play it one more time. Alright. (208) 535-1015.

Caller number 20. You tell me what the secret sound is. I'll hook you up with $301 of cold hard KBAR cash. Two zero eight five three five one zero one five. Caller number 20 right now for the Kay Bear secret sound powered by the Advocate's Injury Attorneys.

Good luck. Yo. It's the Victor Wilt Show about 07:20, and it's time for the Kay Bear one zero one secret sound powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys. Gonna see if caller number 20 can guess correctly what the secret sound is so I can give them money. Otherwise, we'll throw more money in the jackpot and just keep going.

Let's go to the phones, and we'll start with caller number 19. Yo. You're caller number 19. Where am? Sorry, man.

Good luck on the next one. Alright. Alright. Bye. K Bear.

Who this? This is Josh. Josh. You're calling number 20, Oh, really? Cool.

Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool, man. Well, you've got a chance at winning $301 right now with the secret sound.

Let me play it for you one more time. Alright, Josh. Three hundred one bucks. What's the secret sound? To me, it sounds like well, I already looked at some of the answers, so it's not a hand over the mic.

Come on, Josh. Give me a guess. Come on. Is it, does it involve a microphone? You've gotta be kinda specific with the secret sound because, I mean, if you say anything to do with a microphone, I mean, we have to record it.

So Oh. Every secret sound we've ever done had, I mean, in some way, something to do with a microphone simply because we recorded it. So you'd have to alright. You'd have to get real specific. How about, unpacking or not not unpacking, getting ready for the show.

Getting ready for the show, like the morning show? Yeah. Like like you're like you're, fiddling around with the radio with the microphone, trying to get it to work. Okay. Fiddling with the mic in studio, trying to get it work to trying to get it to work to do the show.

Yeah. It's probably not, but that's my guess. It's a decent guess. These mics make racket if you move them. So alright, Josh.

For $301, is the secret sound moving the mic around to get it ready to do the show? Jade, what you got? No. Ah, sorry, Josh. Oh.

I'm telling you, it is a good guess, though. It is a good guess. So, be ready for the next round. We're doing it three more times today, man. Hope you can get through again.

And who's your favorite radio station? Favorite one zero one. Was tempted to say the +1 03 to see the response. But Hey. At least they're my neighbors next door.

They're in the building, so that would be fine. Okay. Alright, man. Well, have a good day, Josh. You too.

See you. See you. Think about it. What what's the worst that could happen on the Easter holiday? An Easter egg hunt gone awry.

Right? You know, the the kids get a little bit little bit chaotic. Kinda looks like a, wall of death at a metal shell happening. Well, there are apparently other activities people engage in to celebrate the Easter holiday that, you know, maybe they should just leave them to, like, straight up professionals. Like, if your grandpa or maybe even your great grandpa decides he wants to take part in a reenactment of the crucifixion, you should tell him grandpa.

You're 84. How about we don't, you know, put you about 10 feet up in the air on a cross? Because, you know, if you fall down, it's not gonna be good. And that's precisely what happened in Weston, West Virginia, 80 4 year old man, critically injured after falling from a cross during a, reenactment of the crucifixion on, Good Friday. So, yeah, he fell about 10 feet to the concrete.

Oh, man. Now he's in the ICU. He's got broken ribs, but I they think he's gonna be okay. Alright. They're saying his injuries are not life threatening.

Wouldn't that be just a ridiculous way to go? Yeah. They don't even say how he felt. Well, I would assume they didn't have him strung up the real way. He was probably just standing up there holding on to, you know, some posts or something, you know?

And have you ever stood for a long time? Well, you you start to get tired. How long did they have him up there? Anyway, I just wanted to throw this story out there in case, you know, some really enthusiastic relatives want to take part in, holiday celebrations that could be a little bit dangerous. Alright?

It's not the way you wanna see your grandpa go. Alright? Again, leave it to the professionals. There's there's actors and such who do these kind of things. I don't know.

If you're 84, you should be kicking back on that recliner watching this event on TV. Right? Right. Let's talk a bit about no phones at shows. It's become a bit of a hot topic in the last few years with a a number of comedians and bands like TOOL implementing this policy.

Now I gotta say as far as the no phone rule goes, the best way I've seen it implemented is the TOOL way, the Maynard James Keenan way, I should say, because same thing goes at, Pussafer and the Perfect Circle shows. They just basically throw you out if they see you using their phone using your phone. Oh my gosh. I'm a little bit out of it today, everybody. Haven't been sleeping well, been sick.

Forgive the fumbles if they're worse than usual anyhow go to a tool show security sees you using your phone they're gonna shine a flashlight at you and just kick you out all right It's quick and efficient. It's not pleasant if you get thrown out, but it's quick and efficient. What Ghost is doing and what comedians do at their shows is they have these little pouches that they'll lock your phone up in. So you have to stand in line, get your phone locked up. I believe most of them, they let you keep your phone.

Some of them, you have to actually check it in and then get it at the end of the show. Can you imagine if you're at a show with 15,000 people and every single person has to do this? Yeah. It's leading to very long slow lines at the ghost shows overseas. And how annoying would that be?

Why not just take the tool route and just throw people out? Because people are still managing to sneak their phones into ghost shows. There are videos popping up. There's audio popping up from the sets. You know, same thing happens with tool.

Somebody will sneak their phone in, manage to get a little bit of video. I mean, is it worth putting your fans through, like, a two hour line to deal with their phone before and after the show to avoid a few little videos? I like concerts where people aren't allowed to use their phones. I think it's great. It discourages you from pulling your phone out and, you know, I better check my messages real quick or or whatever.

No. You just keep it in your pocket and you're into the show. I I loved it at every show I've been to where phones weren't allowed. But if I had to check it in, if I had to do it that way with a crowd of, like, yeah, 10,000 plus, I'd be, oh, so annoyed. I don't like waiting.

I don't have a lot of patience. So I don't know. I mean, I know ghost management. I could perhaps hit them up, be like, hey. I've been to a lot of shows where you don't have to deal with these stupid bags, you know, and people learn fast when you see other people getting thrown out.

You put your phone away really fast. That's all it takes, and you can just walk right into the show. Let's go to the phones here. K, Bear, you're live on the Victor Wills Show. Keep that in mind.

Who's this? This is Jerry. How we doing? Not doing alright. What's on your mind?

I went to that tool show with no, phone allowed. Yeah. It was was it not kinda great in in many ways? You know what? When the old days and I'm paying $40 a ticket, yes.

Okay. But Fair. Fair. But here's the second thing. I go to probably about thirty thirty five concerts a year.

Going to ACDC this weekend. Oh, nice. Nice. Peaches just went a couple nights ago. If you're doing your job, I have no need to look at that phone.

That's fair. Well, what about just simply pulling it out to film? You know what? That's part of the experience, though. I mean, they're they're filming us and making videos out of it half the time.

Right? So Yeah. Yeah. It's true. I I always like getting videos from the show for the people who aren't able to make it.

We post them on our socials. But tool tool does give you, you know, the the end of the show. They let you do a little bit of recording. So Oh, yeah. And the attitude he has when he tells you to do it.

Oh my goodness. Come on now. It makes you the only one to do it. I wanna throw it at him. I mean, but anyway, he is a little snarky about it.

That's for sure. Yes. He is. Yes. He is.

And it's funny because the whole arena just lights up from every single person pulling out their phones. And they're and and they do and they do. And I'm I'm not even a huge tool fan. I don't even wanna record the man. It just anyway.

But the whole no phone thing, I mean, it's unrealistic throwing people out. It's just human nature. They might have drank way too many, forgotten, and now they don't get to finish their show. I don't know. I don't think it's right.

I mean, I thought there was plenty of warning about the phones myself. They had the, you know, stuff stuck to their chairs, and they put it up on the big screen before the band comes on. You know, and I would think at this point, since this has been going on for years and years with Tool, most people would just kinda know. But, you know I I I agree. I I agree.

And I have the option to not going because of the phone thing. Now I went because of my wife. But there's a different day and age. I mean, beep let people be people. You know?

I don't know. Yeah. It doesn't personally bother me at all when people are filming at shows. It's more of yeah. I just like being forced to keep my phone in my pocket because I you know, I'll tend to pull it out just for a few seconds, record some clips, and I don't it it the show's never as enjoyable if you're watching it through a camera.

So Right. Right. And I I guess part of my thing is, though, we have such a nanny state as it is, and I just don't I don't need some performer telling me I can do this and I can't do that. You know? Let me enjoy you the way I wanna enjoy you.

It's not hurting you other than your ego, I think. That's that's fair, man. Yeah. I I definitely can go both ways on this, because there are certainly times during a show I wish I could have taped something. You know?

Amen. I think tool, you know, the, the best moments during the show are during the times when you can't record. So true. And they, and, and maybe the phone thing is they don't want evidence that the people paid $10,000 to fly to see him in The Caribbean and they didn't do all that great. I don't know.

Yeah. Glad I glad I'm not rich because, I'm the type of idiot who would be like, sure. Let's go. And I would have been whining about it too. Oh, that ain't whining.

They they deserve that one. One. But I agree. If you fly people out to the to The Caribbean and you've got, two nights with two unique sets, you shouldn't be repeating songs. So You know what?

And Metallica has been pulling off for two and a half, three years. I think you can pull it off for one show. So Exactly. Exactly. Tool has plenty of songs.

So That's right. Right on, ma'am. What My man, you have a great day. You too. Appreciate the call.

Not a problem. Bye. So, anyway, if you're you're planning on attending a ghost show, they're not really coming anywhere close here yet. So you might be road tripping it quite a ways. Be aware you might have some lines to wait in to put your phone in a a little sealable bag so you can't use it during the show.

So annoying. If it was a small comedy club, okay. You know? But when you gotta wait that long, it's like a ghost meet and greet I did one time with the kids. We were in line for, like, two hours.

There were just hundreds and hundreds of people. I mean, I'm sure making the money as as the artist is great, but you gotta cut off those numbers at some point. Alright. One more caller. K Bear, you're live on the show.

Keep that in mind. Who's this? Hey. This is John. How are you?

John, I'm good. What's up? Not much. I just wanted to throw my 2¢ onto the phone that shows kind of the days, if you will. I've only gone to a handful of shows in my life, and I do not have a great memory.

So for me, having a couple clips or videos of things helps kind of jog my memory sometimes. So I like to record a few things to kind of remind myself, oh, yeah. They did do this or I did go to that one. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Totally. And sometimes I've ended up with some really fun footage by recording at a show. Like, you know, when, the mosh pit erupted at the poppy show and my phone went flying out of my hands, it it was a good video. So, you know, you never know what you're gonna get, and you might catch a once in a lifetime moment during a show too. I don't know.

Some celebrity falls down off the stage and you got a viral video. I don't know. Right. Yeah. So I I get other thing that I would want is those memories to kinda stick with me when I might not remember them.

You know? Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. I'm a very forgetful person too, and, I I totally understand that one, man.

So Yeah. So that's my 2¢. I figured I'd call in because I mean, I mean, let people be people like previous caller said, but I think that those memories are what's the thing that people are bored for hopefully is what they record for. Yeah. I would assume that's what, I mean, pretty much everybody's doing.

So yeah. Right. Well, cool, man. Alright. Well, that's my 2¢.

Well, I appreciate the call and hope you have a great rest of your week, man. Yeah. You too. Thanks for the shows every morning on the drive. I like it.

Appreciate that, man. Means a lot. Oh, yeah. Right on, dude. Alright.

See you. Bye. Alright. This story to me, understandable. Alright.

I better throw out a not really. Not really. You shouldn't do this. And this is actually an older story, but Stewart sent it to me this morning, and I found it pretty funny. It's perfect for this show, so figured I'd talk about it.

Australian man storms animal shelter with an assault rifle looking for his cat. Alright. So this was a couple years ago in Melbourne. A former Australian soldier clad in full tactical gear stormed an animal shelter, aimed a loaded assault rifle at a young female worker, and tied her up at gunpoint because he wanted his cat back. And okay.

You might be thinking, oh, alright. For some reason, they wouldn't give this guy his cat back. And he just didn't know what else to do. I'm trying to think you know, somebody steals my cat, and I know they have it. What am I gonna do?

Time to suit up. No. You can't suit up and go full military style to get your pet back. They told him he could have his pet back the following day. Yeah.

Hey. Yeah. Can he come pick it up tomorrow? Apparently, that was just too long for this guy. Where the cats at?

Where are all the cats? Jeez. And he ties her up. I don't think he's getting his cat back. You know, when you're in jail, depending on the length, which I would assume if you, you know, raid in a, an animal shelter, assault style, you're gonna be in for a while.

They're probably going to put your cat up for adoption adoption. Jeez. So anyway, I'm sure there's an update on that story out there, but I'm not gonna look it up. I'm lazy. All right.

See, Got a guy who convinced himself there were snakes slithering on a plane. I guess he had snake patterns on his own clothes, and, they're saying that's what led to his snake hallucinations? What about, maybe he took some drugs? Yeah. He starts panicking on the airplane.

Snake slithering around the cabin. Full on meltdown. Then they had to, you know, do an emergency landing and blah blah blah. Nothing worse than unruly passengers screwing up your travel. Alright?

Some people shouldn't watch movies. K? Snakes on a plane is a fantastic movie in my opinion. I think it's really fun. But, you know, if you're really scared of snakes and then you're gonna be traveling by air soon, still watch that.

K? Go talk to your counselor, do a little hypnosis, have them convince you without question that there are not snakes on a plane because you're ruining someone's vacation. What else do we have here? A bunch of, horrible stories. Jeez.

I'm not even gonna read that one. Well, a dead whale washed up on a beach in California over the weekend. Some of the comments are pretty funny. Was JD Vance visiting there? Alright.

Alright. I won't get into all that. Jeez. Let's see. Do we need to go to the phones?

Alright. Let's go to the phones. K. K Bear, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind.

Who's this? This is Jay. Crazy Jay again. What what up, Crazy Jay? What do you what do you got now?

Movies are movies that is completely has not actually happened like that. I think there have been incidents of snakes on planes. Yes. There has been instances of snakes on planes. But not not like Not quite like in the movie.

No. Yet, Jay. Yet. What? Is that your goal of mine to make that happen?

You think I'm gonna even touch a snake? No. I am the last guy on earth you need to worry about transporting snakes onto a plane. I don't go near snakes. Yeah.

They Well, I think they're that bad. They just leave a bad smell on you. I didn't even know they leave a bad smell on you. What is it? You know, pee?

I don't know what it is. It's just this is Yeah. So not only are they creepy, but they're gross too. Yeah. No.

Snakes are not my thing. Come on. Other than that, they're fine. They're fine to look at in a you know, I hate seeing them caged up. You know?

But I I I don't mind seeing them from a distance, but holding one in my hands, I did that one time, and that was enough. Nope. Kinda like a tarantula. I held a tarantula one time. Nope.

Not my thing. Come on. Most trash shows aren't even poisonous. I'm it doesn't matter. They're, you know, part of my brain says no.

Oh, Victor. People might call you a wimp. They do. They do. And I don't care.

Call me a wimp all you want. I ain't I I ain't dealing with animals that don't have fur and even most of the animals that do have fur. Feathers have fur. Who? Feathers have fur.

Yeah. I know. That's why I said I still don't deal with most animals that have fur either. Yeah. It's pretty much for cats.

Pretty much cats. That's about it. That's the that's my full list. I don't even like holding, like, hamsters or rats or anything like that. Why?

Because they're too gross looking? No. They're cute. They're cute, but they got those little claw feet. They'd kinda give me the creeps.

You ever been bit by a hamster? It hurts. They have square teeth. No, I have a, yeah. Square teeth.

It hurts, dude. It's not pleasant. Well, you don't piss them off. You don't have to. They're they're, you know, they they don't like people as much as cats do.

And not all cats like people either. My cat bites me sometimes. I'm like, what's your problem, dude? Oh, yeah. I've been bitten by cats before.

Yeah. It's it's not too bad. By the look. I think if I'm gonna be bitten by any animal, I'd go I'd prefer cat. No.

Because a cat can also hang from your hand I mean by its mouth. Alright. If a cat's really mad and bites you, yeah, that's not good. They can get pretty vicious. Yeah.

There's that famous video of a cat attacking a sheriff at the animal shelter who's just trying to adopt it out on the news. Yeah. Crawls up his leg, Neon just, lays into it with the claws and the teeth. It's it's a great video. Oh, you love the cop getting beat up by a cat?

Yeah. Yeah. I pretend it's lieutenant Crane when I watch the video, and I laugh every time. How often do you watch the video? Three times a day.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Alright. Alright, Jay. Well, you have a good one, man. You too.

Alright. See you. Alright. We'll be back with more stuff on this program. Hang on.

Bye bye. Let's take a look at something that's not very cool. Florida man arrested after attacking 11 year old girl who he said he believed was throwing eggs at his apartment. Come on. Nobody's throwing eggs in this day and age.

They're too expensive. Right? Yeah. Tampa, Florida man arrested after somebody called in and was like, there's some some guy, like I don't know if he's beating up a kid or what, but it don't look good. So the cops show up.

He's got this child pinned to the ground, and she's just screaming. And he's like, she threw eggs at my apartment. Well, he's in jail. You can't take that route. K?

You have to call the authorities and let them deal with it. Best thing you can do, I think, is, you know, yell out the window. Stop throwing eggs at my house. What's your problem? Alright.

I'm gonna admit when I was a kid, me and my friends, we threw some eggs at the neighbor's house. This was back when eggs were really affordable, everybody. I know it might seem unbelievable, but throw an eggs at houses. It was a thing. Now I'm ashamed that I did this.

It wasn't good. But, yeah, we we learned our lesson because the neighbor came out and was furious. Was very furious. And I think we might have had to bust out the hose and, like, hose it down. I was not a good kid sometimes.

Now I look back and I'm like, I'm I'm so happy my kids turned out to be so good. What was my problem? Maybe I just ran with a bad crowd. It certainly wasn't me who was the bad influence. Right?

Like, my parents' backyard growing up, we had all these apple trees, but they were, like, not good apple apple trees. Were they, like, crab apple trees or something? Anyway, they weren't, like, apples that you'd gather up and, oh, right. Let's make a pie. No.

They they just made a mess in the yard. I, like, vowed I would never have a yard with fruit trees again after growing up in a yard with, apples on the trees because you'd be out mowing the yard and you're just trudging through these sludgy rotten apples because there's, like, thousands of them. So one way to get rid of them. This is not good either. K.

This is not good behavior either, but it was kinda satisfying. You remember those big wiffle ball bats that were, you know, they're plastic. They're red and they weren't the skinny wiffle ball bats. They were the ones that, you know, they got to be in a good six inches across at the fat end. Boy, those things, you pick up a, you know, half rotten apple and then thunk.

Just, you know, toss that apple up in the air and thunk with the wiffle ball bat. Man, we would blast those things over the neighbor's houses, but one of the neighbors had a garage, like a big garage out back. And, man, we just plastered the side of that thing. They got mad too. It was another lesson learned.

People don't like that. And then we had to help clean it up. You know? So so don't do that. But, thankfully, no one ever chased us down and, like, beat the crap out of us.

That'd be pretty it was scary enough having adults just yell at you. So yeah. You you don't need to take the Florida man route if you've got these kind of problems going on at your home. Alright? Yell and call the cops.

Just don't make threats. Don't make threats. Just be loud. You know? Kind of like when I heard neighbor kids shooting BB guns.

I turned into the old guy because I heard a little tink off of my house. That was it. Look back there shooting a BB gun. Don't you shoot a BB gun toward my house. Oh, it's never happened again since.

All I did was yell. You know? And I didn't say, I'm gonna track you down. You know? Because that's, again, making threats.

Get yourself in some trouble. Gotta be very careful with your words. Alright. We'll be back. So over the weekend, I realized I'm a noob.

I'm a noob, and I never thought, you know, I'd all of a sudden be a noob again, but you can always start tinkering with something new. I recently mentioned to JD, listener who I'm sure you've heard call in many a time, that, I was interested in trying to get an electronic drum set, trying to simplify things so my band can actually start practicing again. That a variety of people over the years be like, are are you guys, like, ever gonna play a show again? Oh, it's only been ten years. Sure.

We could it's funny. We put out songs in that time frame. Never even played them together. They were just totally studio tracks. Anyway, so I mentioned to JD.

I'm thinking about, you know, finding an electronic drum set and he's like, well, I have one. I have Brad Royals. You should just come pick it up. So I did, brought it back to my house, started setting it up, and I realized I have no clue what I'm doing. Setting up a drum set.

I mean, I've seen and assisted in setting up a drum set probably hundreds of times. Alright? But when it comes to okay. How high do the drums need to be? You know?

How far apart? What's a good setup? So I'm pestering Steve, our drummer. Like, can you send me pictures of your because he recently got knee kit as well. I'm like, can you, like, send me pictures from, like, the top and the back?

And he's like, alright. Here you go. He's like, you should just set it up however it's comfortable to you. I'm like, well, you're probably gonna be the one, playing it. So I'd like to set it up like yours.

And then I'm like, okay. I need a a drum throne. Which one of those are good? Will you go find one? Steve, please.

Will you go shopping for me? It's not like I got money to buy a drum throne, but you can't play drums without a seat. Alright. So Steve sends me a a drum throne. I'm like, alright.

Cool. That that one's, affordable. Sold. Steve, what about drumsticks? And he, like, just go to a music store and pick some up and, you know, feel what ones feel good in your hands.

I'm like, well, that's a lot of different kinds. Steve, what? Just tell me what kinds you use and or someone else. It's like, well, I use multiple different kinds for multiple different applications because he's an actual professional drummer. Finally got him to tell me, you know, what kinds he used and so I went with the, kinda average go to.

But I ordered the black sticks because that's more metal. So anyway, I just wanted to let you all know, it never hurts to ask people for help even if you feel like a pest and they seem to be, like, confused by your questions a little bit. Like, come on, dude. You've been at this long enough. You should know what you're doing.

It's not that difficult to figure these things out. Read some reviews, bro. Come on. But, yeah. So I've got an e kit set up in my house.

I have not set it up with a PA because I just got done rearranging my house and being satisfied with how it's set up. Now I need to set up a jam room, and all the rooms are filled with stop. So I I need to get some people over to help me rearrange if the band guys wanna come up this weekend. Time to lug gear. Yeah.

But perhaps if, we get everything set up and we do some jamming soon, maybe I'll share some video with you. Because the last time we jammed, I was very stoked at how we were sounding. I was like, alright. We we haven't completely lost it. You know, we lost track a few times.

Yeah. When you haven't played these songs in ten years or some of them ever, yeah, you tend to get a little bit lost. But, that was a little bit excite of my excitement for the weekend. Aside from feeling lousy, At least I did have that one good thing going on. So yeah.

Just filling you in on my life, Was that compelling radio? I don't know. But it just popped into my head and I was like, that happened. Might as well talk about it. If you ever need advice on guitar stuff, I'm probably not a good guy to ask about that either.

I'm not much of a gear snob. I know what I personally like, but when it comes to, picking out a guitar or something like that, Steve's suggestion of just pick one up and whatever feels good in your hands, that is ultimately the best suggestion for buying a guitar. But also don't go, like, dirt cheap. Because if you get a guitar that just doesn't play good at all, you're you're not gonna be able to learn on it. You know?

You you gotta spend at least a few hundred. Don't get the baseline model. You know? If you could if you could drop like $500, you're probably sitting pretty good. I know it's pricey for something that you may end up like my treadmill just sitting in the corner of the room collecting dust, but, you know, playing on a guitar that sucks, the action's way too high, the frets are buzzing, you're you're not gonna have a good experience with that.

So, anyway, that's that. We'll be back. I don't know why, but I've been sitting here reading through this article about texting and, like, texting etiquette and this and that. I'm a bad texter. Sometimes it will take me ages to get back to a message.

If you've ever messaged me on, like, Facebook Messenger or something like that and I didn't get back to you. I'm so sorry. Alright. I got this, like, ADD thing. I'll see a message and go, okay.

I'm I'll get back to that here in just a few. Then, like, four months go by. Happen to get a new message from you. Oh, hey. Sorry.

I never got back to you four months ago. I'm sorry. I'm just bad about it. What do you do in that situation aside from, say, sorry? Do people get really mad?

I'm trying to think. If I message somebody and they don't get back to me, my brain starts going kinda crazy sometimes. I'm like, oh, they hate me now. Oh, I I was being annoying. I guess we're not friends anymore.

But I'm the worst, the worst at not getting back to messages. It's like the same thing with email. I'll I'll forget to immediately respond. There's just too much information coming at us all at once. I get lots of messages, tons of them, between my email, my phone, and all my social media pages.

Like, all I would do all day is keep up with messages. So I just wanted to let you know if I've never got back to a message. I'm sorry. It was not, you know, deliberate. Well, maybe occasionally.

If you if if I actually don't like you, you probably know it. K? I usually make that pretty clear when I don't like somebody. You know, be like, don't ever message me again. So if that hasn't happened, you know, just count on I probably forgot, because I'm forgetful.

Alright? I don't know. Is there any kind of a required time frame we're supposed to get back to people on text messages? I don't know. All I know is that I'll never be good at, getting back to all of them.

So try to remember that if if I'm that way, probably everybody is. And that's what I try to remind myself. If somebody's not getting back to me, maybe they don't hate my guts. Maybe they're busy. Alright?

Maybe they forgot. It's not that big of a deal. Settle down, Victor. Settle down. Alright.

You know, we've been talking about giveaways throughout the show, hooking up money with the k Bear Sacred Sound. I mean, you know, we give away lots of stuff, concert tickets, sign guitars, whatever. I just saw a post online. Have you ever won a giveaway? If so, what did you win?

Well, back in the day, I, actually, am trying to think. Did I ever personally win a giveaway? I had to have. It always seemed like I would be trying. Like, there'd be multiple people trying to win concert tickets from Kabir, and then, you know, one of my friends will win them and take me.

I don't remember if I ever won myself though, an actual giveaway. I have to have won something at some point. I don't know. Never never win the lotto, so there's a reason I don't gamble. Well, let's see if anybody online's won anything fun.

A lifetime of free showers. What? Oh, it's for a trucker. Okay. So you're out on the road.

You know, those gas station showers you see sometimes like the flying j. This guy says sometimes they can cost up to $18. Holy cow. Yeah. I guess if you're a trucker, lifetime of free showers is a pretty good price.

Yeah. Need to start giving those out to random people in metal crowds, you know? Let's see. This guy won a snap on toolbox in a raffle that retails for $8,600. Man, somebody won tickets to meet the cast of the mummy.

Alright. So won a meet and greet. That's the kind of prize we hook up. Somebody won a car. That's the kind of luck I need.

Need to win a car with some good gas mileage. I mentioned that bright orange Prius that I saw at Teton auto credit. Right? I don't know what my deal is with like, okay. It looks like a normal Prius but it was this bright orange color and I was like, that's obnoxious.

I could see myself driving around in that. 50 miles per gallon. Teton auto credit. Sign me up for the, the raffle. Alright.

What else do we have here? Grant this guy's grandfather won the entire showcase on The Price is Right, Aaron Paul, you know, from Breaking Bad, Idaho local, who, I don't know, one of these days, I'll get on the show. It's a dream. Come on. Somebody around here knows how to get a hold of Aaron Paul.

I know that somebody knows. We got enough people listening to this show. I wanna have Aaron Paul on my show sometime. Alright? Come on.

Tell Idaho's, you know, greatest rock station just wants you on the morning show, dawg. It's much more fun than the Today Show. Let's do this. Let's talk Idaho. Alright.

Anyway, if you wanna watch Aaron Paul on the the Price is Right, it's online. Let's see. Unbeknownst to me, my mother entered my brothers and I to a drawing to Fox Kids to win Goosebumps books. Grand prize was the winner's first name would be written in as the protagonist. I didn't win, but they did get the entire mainline Goosebumps series.

Man, that would be cool. Get your name in a book. Amazingly, my name has been used in multiple books by Stephen King, my favorite author, and dot the most recent one. I think they made it into a movie. I think.

I never watched the movie, but my real name was used as one of the most despicable characters I've ever read in a book. Thanks a lot, Stephen King. Yeah. You you could have done me a little bit better than that. I was very excited to see that name pop up in there.

And then it's just this horrible, horrible human being. You know, it might as well have made me King Joffrey. Mhmm. This person won a PS four from Taco Bell. I don't ever win anything.

Meh. That's okay. I'm I'm I'm the giver. I'm the giver of prizes. So I I feel okay about it.

Happy I can hook you up with cool stuff. And we still have plenty more cool stuff on the way. Still more chances to win the secret sound today, so maybe I'll hook you up with some dough. Alright? Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show.
