The Viktor Wilt Show

Yeah. Some mornings are just not pleasant. I won't go into the details of my day yesterday, but I was not feeling very nice. It sucked. Yesterday in general, just bad all day.

And, even though I when I got up there was like, yeah. There's no way I could be in here doing the job. I did manage to go to the dentist and get a crown put on. That was fun when I, you know, was feeling like I was just gonna spew. Oh.

Thankfully, I feel less like I'm gonna spew today. I don't know if I ate something bad or what but, unpleasant and I was still not great but good enough to get through the, the old job today. So anyway, that was my day. Hopefully, I'll get to the point I can eat today. Yeah.

I'd put like any food in my stomach yesterday and it just hurt so bad. Anyway, that was my day. Back at it. Now I gotta play catch up. At least it's Thursday, and we are one step closer to the weekend.

Hopefully, I'll be feeling decent enough to, you know, do some chores around the house. Got my brother coming to visit this weekend. Haven't seen him in a long time. That should be cool. Got him hanging out for a week.

And, yeah, maybe we'll get him out on the town if there's any kind of fun events happening. And it's still kinda waking up here, so I can't remember if we got anything going on this weekend here in East Idaho. If you're looking for stuff to do, best place to go, the Riverbend Media Group event calendar at our website, riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. I know there's a a country show, I think, tomorrow night at the arena. Don't know if I'll be, heading over to that one.

But, yeah, There gotta be something going on, so you should go check that out if you're looking for fun. You can also submit your events to the calendar so we can get them posted and spread the word to people. So, yeah. That's, that's where I'm at this morning. Hoping to survive.

I've got a bottle of water here. I'm like, alright. Gotta drink some of it. Please don't let my guts hurt. Please.

Hello. Anyway, I hope you're doing great. And, look at this appropriate song for, how I'm feeling this morning. Time will heal. Kind of a quiet content day as well.

And I was digging through the Internet, lots of unpleasantness, all the, the typical stuff that's not fun to look at. So when I'm feeling that way about the content I find, I end up over at East Idaho News where you don't have to look at the actual news. I mean, you can. Obviously, they got, you know, great coverage, but you can go to the features section and find things like food or, you know, even just learn about the past. Here in East Idaho, they got this section called looking back, you know, where they go over, news stories from long ago.

Sometimes those are unpleasant too. So I I tend to just end up looking at food, which today's a great day for me to look at food because my appetite's still all screwed up from whatever's going on with my gut. So you take a look at East Idaho Eats, and if you're, you know, me this morning, you're not gonna end up starving when you take a look at a place called Crispy Cones. Usually, if I look at ice cream, it's it's done. I'm like, alright.

Time to feast. Let's go. But, yeah, this place, Crispy Cones, it's kind of over by, like, the, Burley Burger, that area in I don't know if it's technically Idaho Falls or Ammon. I guess that's the Idaho Falls side of the road. But, yeah, like specialty ice cream cones, they look really good, Really good.

I think I'm gonna have to, get over there and give that a whirl as soon as my guts are back in check. So if you wanna see what I'm talking about, just go to features at eastidahonews.com, and, it's the second link, the second most recent post, in East Idaho eats. These look crazy good, but I'm still not hungry, which, I don't know if that's good or not. Still haven't touched that bottle of water I was gonna drink either. I will.

I will eventually. Okay. I'm I swear I'll stop complaining. I just feel unpleasant. Just feel unpleasant and I got, tons to do so hopefully, that changes as the morning goes along.

Anyway, I'll be back in a minute. Alright? Hang on. Morning, people. It's The Victor Wilt Show.

What's up? Just saw some cool movie news that I had not heard anything about. Director Darren Aronofsky gonna be releasing a new movie called caught stealing. Now he's one of my favorite directors. Recently talked a bit about a movie I watched called mother.

Completely insane movie. Highly recommended. I don't wanna say anything about it because I don't wanna spoil anything. It's not gonna be what you expect when it when it starts off and you'll think it's going one direction and then by the end you're gonna be like, what what happened? What happened?

He's put out so many good movies. First one I ever saw was Requiem for a Dream which is, you know, kind of an unpleasant movie. You know, you might walk away from it feeling a little bit, but it's so good. So good. So then I went back and watched his, first release, Pie, which is another, you know, just great movie.

I think pretty much every movie he's released that he's directed has been good. The fountain, the wrestler, black swan, Noah. You you remember the story of, you know, from the bible? He made a crazy, movie out of that one. Mother that I just mentioned in his most recent movie was called The Whale, which I watched not too long ago, and, it was really good as well.

So this one, see, supposed to be coming out, oh, jeez, in about a week. August 29. Awesome. That's great. Well, I'm I'm not going to read any of this Wikipedia article about it because with, directors like that, definitely like to go in, you know, completely blind like the Korn song we just played.

But, yeah, there's so many movies I wanna see right now. You know? Seeing lots of great reviews for the new movie weapons, which is from the director of Barbarian. There's that movie Together that I wanna see really bad. And then I need to watch Eddington again.

I don't know if you remember my story about that. Went to see it at the theater. Apparently, I can't sit in a dark room. I just fell asleep and then I woke up embarrassed in the theater and walked out. Eddington might be available on, streaming now.

Maybe I can watch it at home where I have a better chance of staying awake unless it's a day like yesterday where I was just a disaster and just slept and slept. Guts are a wreck. Still feeling nasty today, but, at least it's better than than yesterday. So, yeah, we're making positive progress on daily existence people. But, yeah, really looking forward to checking that out.

The movie again again called caught stealing. So if it's Darren Aronofsky, it's gonna be a good movie. You you just know it. He's never released anything bad. So, hopefully, we'll get that in theaters here.

Hope your Tuesday is going not Tuesday. Feels like a Tuesday for some reason. Hope your Thursday is going good. Mine's much better than yesterday. That's for sure.

Yesterday sucked. I was kinda scrolling around Facebook marketplace. I was looking for, moving boxes, and, there's some weird stuff on Facebook marketplace. One of the items I stumbled across here, an ugly macho man Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan mega power sweater. It is ugly.

It's hideous. It's like, red and yellow, and I don't even know it doesn't look necessarily like a sweater. It looks more like a long sleeve shirt, but I don't know. Maybe it's a, collectible. $35.

Oh, it's XL. It would even fit me. I don't think I could wear that. I don't wear a lot of bright colors. I've got, like, two tie dyed t shirts that every once in a while when I wanna get crazy, I'll throw those on.

But it's interesting the things you could find. I wish Facebook market would feed me more weird stuff all the time. Like, here's a three foot tall Darth Vader. You know, it's pretty cool looking. I'm not enough into Star Wars to, go for it, but it's three feet tall, and it's only $30.

That's not bad if you're a star wars fan. I haven't been looking at Facebook market recently because, I need to not spend any money. Oh, no. Is that a collectible Stephen King book? What do they charge him for it?

I'm gonna have to look up, look up how much that one's running on eBay. That might be a a good snag, but it might also not be. Sorry. Getting distracted. Books will do it every time.

Oh, or guitars. There's been this, ESP LTD e c 1,000 sitting on there for a while. Keeps popping up in my feed. Facebook knows I want it, But, yeah. I ain't I ain't gonna go drop $650 right now when I haven't even been playing my guitars anyway.

I should probably do that. A little bit of practicing. You know, it's good for you if you play guitar to, like, play it and practice. I even drag all my gear to the living room where I hang out so it's sitting there. I can just turn it on.

I mean, I do sometimes, just not often enough. Maybe maybe I'll make that a goal for the weekend. Play a tiny bit of guitar at least. But, busy weekend ahead. Got my, brother coming to visit, so need to tidy up the house a little bit.

Long as I don't feel like I did yesterday, maybe I can accomplish some things today. Busy times ahead. Busy times ahead, but, it's all good. It's all good stuff going down. Aside from my guts, my guts are not a good thing right now.

Alright. I'm gonna I'm gonna try to drink some water. We'll see if it makes me feel like I wanna just spew. Hopefully not. Hopefully not.

Anyway, I'm I'm sorry. It's a little early to talk about vomit but I already talked about vomit once today so if it was, not too early then why is it too early now? I don't know. I'm just babbling. Just babbling.

Scrolling Facebook marketplace hoping I can find some more weird stuff but I don't know. They they seem to try to point out things that, they think people would actually want to buy. Now, there was a subreddit for weird stuff on, Facebook market. What was it called? Oh, Facebook market.

It was like crackhead Facebook market or something. Anyway, if I find it, we'll see what weird stuff's available on there. Really cool stuff sometimes. Sorry. I got a weird taste in stuff.

Alright. I'm gonna find other crap to talk about. K? People are so weird on Facebook market. You know, I'm glancing around looking for some some boxes.

And every once in a while, you'll see people say, like, I will not respond if you ask if this item is still available. K? Well, then I hope you're going to take down the listing one if it's not available, which people forget to do all the time. But also what are you supposed to say other than, hey, is this still available? Because I don't know how many times I'm like, Hey, this looks great.

I'll take it. And they're like, sorry, that's already sold. It seems like asking the question, is this still available? Is the easiest way to find out if you can get it. Why would you not respond to people asking that question?

Anyway, just a bit of a rant because I've used a lot of Facebook marketplace. Now, if you're like just getting out on your own, it can be a little bit daunting when it comes to getting all of the items that you need around your place. Yeah. Because there's a lot of stuff you need. And if you were to just go buy it all new, it's gonna cost you a ton of money.

And generally, if you're just getting out on your own, you don't have a ton of money. So, you know, couple years ago when I got, divorced, there was a lot of stuff I needed because when you get divorced, you have to split up your crap. So you're gonna be looking around one day going, where's that thing? No. I gotta go get that.

So I did a lot of thrift store shopping and Facebook marketplace shopping to handle many of the items that I needed around my place. You know? And, like, people will show up at my place and look around be like, wow. You got a lot of stuff. Listen.

I'm old and a lot of my family members have died. Alright. Now when that happens, you end up getting stuff. Like, I mean, almost everything in my house aside from my, you know, like, books, I guess, and, my big stupid TV. Most of that stuff, thrift stores or dead relatives.

That's how I end up with it. So, yeah. You don't have to get out and spend a ton of money to be able to furnish your place. K? You've just got to be willing to do a little bit of shopping around and settle on something that'll get the job done.

Don't be too picky. Alright? Things don't need to be perfect. Like, I was talking with my friend Nick about, houses the other day. Now, I I don't know why we were discussing housing market, but he made a good point about housing.

Like, you know, a lot of people will look at their home as this investment, you know, oh, this is gonna, you know, gain value over time. Then hopefully, I could sell it, move into an even better house, blah blah blah. I mean, ultimately, the main thing a house is for is a place to live and have a home. So I I don't know why that just kinda stuck with me, but, Yeah. I've I've been in the same place for a long time, and I really dig that place.

It's not the fanciest, but it, I have plenty of space for activities and fun, and, it's an, you know, decent location. It's nice and quiet. I don't know. Kinda like with, furnishing your house with a whole bunch of crazy stuff. You know, look at your your home as a home.

Alright? I I don't know where my point is with this, where where I'm going with this. Again, a little bit, little bit foggy headed here this morning. Still feeling kinda nasty, but that's okay. We'll survive.

I was monkeying with my stupid computer here, giving me a bunch of grief. And, so I was like, alright. I'm gonna just clear everything in the history out of Google. And now I'm kicking myself because, like, just to get back into Facebook, you wouldn't believe the hassle I had to go through. Very bizarre.

Very bizarre. Anyway. So all my tabs got closed out. Anything I was intending to talk about, it, of course, vanished. Jeez.

It's alright. It's alright. Let's see. Somebody asking online, my cousin keeps asking me for 5 to $6 almost every day. Is this normal?

I guess if your cousin's, you know, kind of a cheapskate or something doesn't want to get a job. Yeah. I'm looking at a, screenshot. Do you have, like, $5 for gas? Hey.

I hey. Do you have $5? Do you got $5? 5. That is kind of strange.

I was gonna say do you keep sending them money? Imagine if you had somebody that every day you asked them for $5 and they always gave it to you. You you'd surely keep asking. Right? I'm gonna try that with Jade.

Soon as he gets it, Jade, you got $5? And if he says, yeah. Then I'll ask him tomorrow and I'll continue doing so. That's a, you know, decent chunk of change over the course of a month. Alright.

Anyway, I gotta work on finding some freak news. K? I will deliver on the freak news front. My computer's working again, so wish me luck anyhow. I I guess it depends what happened in the news.

Alright. Let's dig in, see what kind of stupid news is going on. Here we go. Bozeman, where I was just at a few days ago. Man arrested after allegedly driving a 120 miles per hour while hammered and stashing drugs in a trash can.

You know, if you haven't been to Bozeman in a while, it's kind of a surprising town. The thing that surprised me was the lack of active street lights and crosswalks. I don't know. With this kind of stuff going on, 120 miles per hour, just don't go out on foot in Bozeman. K?

It it feels unsafe, at least in certain areas. The areas we apparently were at, which, you know, where where the hotels were and stuff, where people stay. All of a sudden, sidewalks closed, but there wasn't any, you know warning beforehand it's a really pretty city but I just I don't know if I'd recommend walking around there anyway this guy's in jail I just wanted to point out the walking imposement was a little bit unnerving. Alright. Fisherman tries to pose with a shark but gets bitten instead.

Yeah. No kidding. Hey. Look. Look.

I got a shark. You know what sharks do? Yeah. They bite. Alright?

What an idiot. So I guess they were fishing and they hooked a shark, so they, you know, went to try to release it. But they're like, well, we better get the photo first. You didn't get bitten by a fish. Alright?

Regular old fish. If you manage to catch a shark, I I don't know what you do. Alright? I'm not a fisherman, so I'll have to ask Josh. Josh, if you accidentally reeled in a shark, what would you do?

You know? I think Josh just fly fishes, though. It's not those, like, barbed hooks. They're the hooks that just come out really easy. Anyway, don't don't touch sharks.

K. People I shouldn't have to tell people that, but people are getting dumber. Alright? I really do think people are getting dumber, and it's probably because of misinformation and people just believing everything they see on social media. Like, there was an article I read earlier that, eighty six percent of doctors said they'd encountered more misinformation among patients within the last five years than in years before.

I see crazy stuff online all the time that I go, alright. Listen. Did you look anywhere else aside from that meme to decide if that was true? Like, even the day I got a root canal, one of my relatives posted a link to some conspiracy theory video about how, you know, root canals are, you know, a a scam that's poisoning people or what was this stupid thing? Hold on.

Root canal conspiracy. Because this one, like, I had to dig deep to try to, try to find any information about this. Yeah. I guess root canal is contributing to illness. Okay.

How is it that if you clear out an infection in someone's face, that's going to make them worse? K. I had a root canal recently, and it sucked before I had it. My face hurt. Now I don't have that problem anymore.

No. Just rip all your teeth out. Sorry. I need some teeth. K.

I need a few teeth. We all need some teeth. Alright. What what else did we have here? There was something else about miss misinformation.

Oh, some tourists posted that, chat g p t ruined their vacation. You know, they ended up missing their flight because they didn't know certain pieces of, identification they had to have with them. So they asked Chatt GPT, do I need to bring such and such? And Chatt GPT said, no. Have you ever seen the Google AI search results?

I've noticed people start believing, though. Like, the fact that that's right at the top of Google now, people just accept it as fact. I have asked Google countless questions and had the Google AI give completely incorrect information. Don't just believe ChatGPT or Google AI or these are all new pieces of technology. K?

I know I talk about just not believing everything you read online. Yeah. It goes beyond Facebook. You also gotta take a look at Google. You gotta take a look anywhere where they're using AI stuff now.

The AI, it ain't as smart as it could be yet. Alright? Maybe at some point we'll reach, you know, a time when we can accept the results of an AI question response and just be like, alright. We know this is right, but we're we're not there yet. K?

And which would be worse, accepting at face value information you see from one of your friends or family on social media or AI. I don't know. Because I'll tell you, that that dumb video that my aunt posted, I was like, this is ridiculous. And what's funny is at the beginning of the video, the guy was like, do you know any conspiracy theories that are proven true? And then the guy goes into this thing about root canals.

You Google a few results, and it's like, no. That has not been proven true. It's been proven incorrect. There is no scientific data to back that up. Zero.

Alright. Sorry. I get I just get mad at dumb people online. Yeah. And it does feel like people are getting dumber or at least just more, you know, accepting of any kind of information without questioning it.

Question everything. Alright. Or or I don't know. Maybe if your doctor tells you something, try to listen to their advice. I shouldn't just say a blanket term of question everything.

You know, if you're dealing with an expert in the field, listen to them. Well, good morning, Peaches. Good morning. What's up, fool? Oh, nothing much.

Right on. Did I miss anything exciting and amazing here yesterday? I was just catching you up on me and Maddie on the noon hour pretending to make her profile for online dating. Yeah? Yeah.

Was was that fun? Yeah. Yeah. You know? You can fill out some prompts and stuff.

People can find that on the, noon hour podcast, wherever you get your podcasts. There you go. The noon hour of madness and mayhem. Alright. Well, yeah, I wish I would have been here instead of, dealing with what I was dealing with.

I won't get into the unpleasant dreams. Oh, yeah. It was not it was not good. And I still don't feel good today, but at least I don't know. When I was going to bed, I'm like, am I gonna just wake up and still feel like this?

This is horrible. If you feel the need to bomb the toilet, use the East Idaho News one, please. Yeah. I I won't get into the grisly details. Oh, man.

Well, looks like it's been a fairly slow couple days of news here. I did, wanna dive into this list on the noon hour today of the 10 classic movies everyone pretends to love but nobody Well, let's dive into it right now. Okay. You you can look it up. Where well, you get going where where do I find it?

It's from, where's the website? I I just saved the screenshot from Reddit. That's what I think. Okay. 10 classic movies everyone pretends to love, but nobody actually likes it.

But I can tell by the screenshot, there's the movie that I hate the most, 2,001, A Space Odyssey. Yes. Yes. You've mentioned that you don't like that movie. I think I like it.

It's been many, many years since I've seen it. Any, Stanley Kubrick movie for me? No. No. Thanks.

Okay. Then I probably still do enjoy it because I like Stanley Kubrick a lot. Like, Full Metal jacket was. Yeah. It it it's a good movie.

You know? And The Shining's a good movie. It's a terrible adaptation, but a good movie. What else did he make? Eyes Wide Shut, that's a weird one.

Haven't seen it. Yeah. It, you know, it's lower on the list of movies of his I enjoy. Now eight and a half, I don't know what that movie is. It's right here on the the graphic here.

Eight and a half. Never even heard of it. So Forrest Gump, though, I people really like that movie. That was a good one. It's a good one.

I need to read the book like you suggested. Dude, the book's crazy. It has nothing to do with the movie whatsoever. It's in it's insane. You know, he's a pro wrestler at one point.

I mean, it's just ridiculous. I don't know why they even called the movie that. They I don't know. They bought the rights and were like, well, we can make whatever movie we want. We can leave out all this insanity.

It's a weird book. Gone with the Wind. Now that was my mom's favorite movie, Her very favorite. I don't think I've ever made it through it. You know?

It's one of those, like, chick flicks, isn't it? I hate that. Have you seen Gone with the Wind? No. But I've seen the classic scene.

Oh, frankly, my dear, I don't give a darn. Don't give a darn. Yeah. Yeah. That that's great.

Lots of slapping in that movie that's inappropriate. Don't you love that? Yeah. Yeah. It's like every Burt Reynolds movie where he's beaten up the woman.

I know. It's like What's going on with Burt's life? Jeez. People were you know, things were strange back in the day. Well, I shouldn't say strange.

People were just messed up. I can't read what that says. Jules and Jim? Never heard of that. Here's another one called dude, this graphic is really hard to read.

Can I bring it up bigger? Okay. Control plus on the keyboard. Melancholia. Haven't seen that.

Now, Mulholland Drive, I think that's a great movie. You know, I have no clue what what it's about. I've watched it many times, and I have no idea what's going on. But it it's like David Lynch, you know, Lost Highway. You know?

Have you seen any of those movies? No. I haven't. I bet they're not your type of movie, Peaches. I watched that Tree of Life movie with Brad Pitt.

Yeah. I've never seen that. I I didn't know what was going on. You have to be under a certain substance to really enjoy that movie. Oh, okay.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I have not seen that movie. I don't know if I've seen persona or Rashomon, and I don't Rashomon's a classic.

That's the one with the, with the samurai. Yeah. It looks it looks like a samurai movie. I I was forced to watch that in the film class, and, it wasn't too bad. Alright.

And have you seen Killers of the Flower Moon? That's a newer movie. Actually, no. But I've been, meaning to. I've been wanting to see it.

I didn't know it was a movie everyone loved because, I didn't really hear a lot of buzz on it. This was posted in Okay Buddy Cinephile. Yes. But, you know, it's just That's where I'm at again. That that there's just that whole group, I think, is making fun of those who are obsessed with the cinema.

Okay. Okay. Yeah. Have I joined this subreddit? I have not.

Maybe I will. Maybe I won't. But, it looks like it's got some pretty funny content. So, anyway, I'm But what's a movie you actually hate? That's what I want.

Hate? Yeah. Because I I I have never heard you say you hate a particular movie that's, like, you know, artsy fartsy or even just in general? Okay. Movies that I hate.

Let me think here. All Dogs Go to Heaven. It's a kids movie. Scared me when I was a kid, so I hate it. Okay.

There's another kid's movie that annoyed the crap out of me that my kids used to watch. I think it's called Home. Has a purple alien. You know what I'm talking about? No.

Hold on. Let me look up if that's really the name of it. Home movie. Yeah. That's what it was.

The the main character alien in that movie was so annoying to me that I would think I would say I hate that movie. I I did not like it. Do you see This this this looks stupid. It yeah. I mean, I I think kids like it.

Jim Parsons is the voice of the alien. Jennifer Lopez is in it. Yeah. Re Rihanna, Steve Martin. I mean, it it's not like the movie itself was terrible or had a bad message or anything.

The way that stupid alien talked, I could not stand it. It just grated on my nerves. Couldn't stand it. No. No.

No. Like, not non kids movies on your list. There must have adult movies on your list. Hey. Who hates those?

I like those. No. Okay. I'm trying to think of it. You know, movies I'll I'll have to think on this one because nothing's popped on my head, but my head's also just pounding today.

So it's it's been a challenge to do the radio show. What else did you get for drinking your early morning vodka, dude? Come on. I know I'm I'm halfway through the bottle, man. Thought this was water.

Yeah. You you know it's bad if I'm not drinking, like, seltzer or something like that. My stomach is a disaster. So, anyway You need one of those, prune juices or something. Yeah.

I'm afraid to put anything in my stomach. Clear it out. I haven't eaten, like, I I'm afraid to do anything I saw these at this point. Tortillas that were 20 grams of fiber per per tortilla. Jeez.

I just eat three of them and just be like, alright. We're about to let it rip. Oh, just thinking about eating makes me go. Alright. Shot of wheat grass too.

Oh, too potent right now. Too potent. I ain't gonna be drinking no kombucha this morning. Oh, yeah. I was just like It's supposed to, but I I'm going water only.

You know what, sir Strommen? We're bringing it in. No. No. Alright.

We'll be back. Well, I was just working on a promotion with peaches that we're gonna launch tomorrow. Think it should be pretty fun. I don't wanna give away all the details yet, but we've got a few different giveaways coming up soon that, well, I think you're really going to like. Got a number of them coming up as a matter of fact, more than a few.

And we try to keep it fun for you, give you the opportunity to go check out big shows locally, regionally. I mean, one of them's a really big show, so you're gonna have to road trip it a bit, but we'll save you some dough on the tickets. They're pretty pricey. Anyway, you're just gonna have to stay tuned on that. Just playing catch up around here.

Jade got me all stressed out. I'm like, ugh. Alright. Short dudes, you gotta settle down. Gotta settle down a bit.

Just embrace your shortness. It's gonna be okay. More talk of people getting their legs lengthened because being short is a curse. No. There's a lot of good reasons to be short.

Talk to peaches about it. Right? You ever been into an older building? Well, if you're peaches, it can be unpleasant because a lot of, older places, shorter ceilings, shorter doorways, you know, short ain't bad. Alright.

I'm I'm about average height, I think, but still shorter than some people. And, I gotta say there's no way I would put myself through this brutal torturous surgery to be, you know, a few inches taller. Why did they have to show imagery of it? Right. You want me to you want me to tell you what they do?

This is unpleasant. People really do this. Okay? They break your legs. Okay?

First, they have to break your legs. Okay. Where the now wait a minute. Let's get into, more of the description here. They went from break the legs to the guy going, oh, it sucks.

Okay. So what they do is they hook these, braces to your legs after they break them. And then every day, you have to turn a key and it just slightly stretches your legs out one agonizing millimeter at a time. And this guy, he's hoping to do five turns a day. He's like, I got I got to get my legs longer faster.

It means more suffering. But hey, time to grow. And this guy, he's five six. Five foot six. It's not that bad.

I know guys who are much shorter than that. Alright? And they're having a good life. Trust me. You'll be able to find a girlfriend.

K? The girl's like, yep. I I don't date short guys. Then oh, well. You don't like her.

You don't need well, you might like her, but you don't need her. Alright? Jeez. Why did I look at that horrific image of this guy's leg in the braces? Oh.

And he's just hoping he can get to being five foot nine, just average height. Five foot six is not that short. The things people do. It's like, you know, you see some of them insane looking plastic surgeries where you go, what is that person thinking? I don't know.

People get so weird about their their own appearance. You know, guys won't just shave their bald head. Just shave it. Just shave that head. It'll be fine.

Don't need to dump a bunch of money into pills and hair transplants and this and that just shave your head shave your head and grow goatee you'll look cool just like me I'm actually overdue to shave my head but yeah if you were that concerned about being tall, I guess you can do this, but it seems like it's gotta screw you up, you know, down the line. I don't think your legs are designed to be lengthened. And we got a collar? What do they want? K Bear, you are live on the show.

Keep that in mind. Who's this? Crazy j. Crazy j, another short guy. You wanna break your legs and stretch them out a little bit at a time?

No. That sounds that sounds really bad, man. Yeah. I mean, as a shorter guy, Jay, life's fine. Right?

Life's fine. Yeah. It's great. I'd rather I'd rather be short than tall like peaches. Peaches can't even get into certain vehicles.

It's you know, there's a lot of frustrations that come with being tall. Short, you you don't tend to have those issues other than they might not let you on certain roller coasters. What about that, George? Well, anyway, Jay, good to hear from you, homie. I hope everything's going good.

Alright. Everyone, peace out. And just realize, I may be short, but a lot of women tell me I'm short, but guess what's right in front of me when they say that. Alright, Jay. Bye bye now, Jay.

See you later, man. Peace. Alright. We got another ding dong ditch story. Is ding dong ditch, like, just a current TikTok trend or something?

I mean, this has been going on since I was a kid and probably since long before that. But nowadays, just warn your kids. Don't do it. You know, as harmless as it seems, you might end up getting killed. Nobody died in this one, but they did get bullet shot at them.

Where was this? Frisco, Texas. Yeah. We got, three teens who went to a guy's house, did the old ding dong ditch. So we ran out after him and just started blasting at their car.

Yeah. The car had three bullet holes in it. Don't know how many shots were actually fired, but, you know, when the officers responded to the call about a vehicle being shot, you know, the kids had been at, yeah. We, you know, we did a ding dong ditch, and then 58 year old Damon Wolf. Well, I don't know if he grabbed a a pistol.

It doesn't say what type of a firearm, but, yeah, If you just start blasting off rounds in the neighborhood, bad things can happen. And also, why do people get so crazy about Ding Dong Ditch? I I just don't understand how you could get so mad that you would start shooting at the vehicle that did it. You know? Like, get a ring cam, you know, or some a doorbell cam.

And then if you see on the door that it's someone ringing the bell and running away, just sit back down. K? Now I get if someone, you know, is trying to break in or something, sure. Then you need to defend yourself. But if they knock or ring the doorbell and then leave at high speed, I think everything's gonna be okay.

We're getting one of these at least every week now. So it's gotta be a TikTok thing. You know? That's that's my only guess is there are so many kids out doing ding dong ditch that, you know, we're seeing all these violent incidents. Thankfully, nobody's been killed yet, I don't think, but just settle down a little bit, people.

Jeez. Shout out to Stewart for sending me this one, a post from the Jerome Police Department in Idaho. They're hiring. They're hiring road pirates. That's what it says.

JPD is hiring road pirates. Are you in need of a new toaster oven or perhaps a really cheap steak knife set? How about a vest that was on closeout in a color nobody likes with the city logo? These items and more can all be won during any of our monthly ticket quota contests. Think you can extort more money from members of the general motoring public better than any other officer?

Now is the time to put that to the test. We could name hundreds of perks for working for JPD, but let's focus on the most important ones. Doughnuts. Lots of doughnuts. Two more doughnuts.

Really, we always have donuts around. Three, we use walkie talkies all day. Yes. You can say over if you want. Four, lazy but feisty raccoon for a shop pet, etcetera.

So, yeah, I guess Jerome looking to hire police officers and, they made a pretty funny post with a, a police it's definitely AI police officer with I don't know if you can have the long hair and, pirate mustache and beard, but I don't know if you're looking for a job. They are looking to hire some people. Go to the Jerome police department dash Idaho Facebook page to get a little bit more information. The the only thing I gotta say is this is in Jerome. Alright?

And if you're a longtime listener, you know how I feel about the Magic Valley. Alright? I don't know what kind of pay you'd have to offer me to move to Jerome, but it would have to be a lot of money. Lot of money. So, anyway, if you're looking for work and you'd consider the Magic Valley as a place to live, maybe that next career awaits as a, as a road pirate with the Jerome Police Department.

Let me know if it works out for you. Are you feeling dumb? Like, you know, as you get older, sometimes you just start feeling like you're getting dumber. Well, maybe maybe you're doing things to yourself that are actually making yourself dumb. Let's go over five ways we make ourselves less intelligent each day.

Take a look at ways we can fix ourselves up a bit I know there are some days when I'm feeling pretty dumb today is one of them just because I don't feel very, great but maybe this list will help me here Maybe I could figure out some ways to, feel less dumb and just good in general. Alright. Realize that your brain is a muscle you can train. Yeah. You can actually get, more intelligent.

You can, just simply, I guess, realizing that your brain is, something that can be, you know, I don't know, through probably things like reading and such and educating yourself and exercising your brain. Yeah. You can increase your intelligence level. That I was never taught that. No.

I mean, I was taught you could learn more. Sure. But I don't know if I ever thought of, the brain as a muscle that can be exercised. Alright. So I need to start reading more.

I've been sucking at that. Maybe playing some guitar. That would probably be good. Maybe even playing some video games. Probably be a pretty good idea.

Do things to exercise your brain. I would imagine that social media scrolling, probably not a way to increase your brain power. So maybe I need to work on putting the phone down. Stop looking at the dumb things people are saying on Facebook. Getting irritated with it.

Alright. Depriving your brain of the sleep you need. Okay. That's one I need to work on. That's for sure.

It I've talked about it on air, though. It's hard. The hours I work, in order for me to get, like, proper sleep, like, say, I wanna get eight hours, I would need to be asleep at 09:00. And that's that's tough for me. It's not not really natural, you know?

And I've kind of fallen out of the rhythm of going to bed at that time. Yeah. Because, you know, to be asleep at nine, you gotta be in bed at, like, 08:30. It's like, ugh. But it's just reality.

If you gotta wake up at five, because it takes me a bit of time to wake up and get ready, come in here, be somewhat pumped up to do a radio show, not just come in and be like, I'm gonna say, I just woke up. No. I gotta be able to talk to you about something. Alright. I'll start working on that a little bit more.

Go to bed earlier. I know I'm always glad when I do it. It's just difficult to keep it on a regular schedule. You know? Let's see.

Oh, drinking booze. They say that's, the most obvious form of self sabotage. Yeah. I I think anybody who's, overdone it on the booze knows you feel real dumb. Yeah.

After the fact. And, let's see. It says even moderate drinking can exact a long term toll on your cognitive edge, so they recommend cutting back, you know, or just thinking about it a bit. You're making yourself dumb. Alright.

Oh, no. Then it gets kinda crazy here where they start getting into bad things that can happen to your brain if you're a heavy drinker. Okay. Oh. Hey.

You don't wanna be getting like that Alzheimer's and stuff. Getting old is scary. Okay. Let's see. We don't give our brains structure.

Our brains thrive on structure, purpose, and deadlines. Yeah. Apparently, if you procrastinate a lot, that shows measurable impairments in executive functioning. Mhmm. So, yeah.

I guess getting on them tasks. Not going, Oh, leave that till later. I'm gonna stare at my phone. Alright. Probably another one I could work on too.

But I need to get that sleep person. Too tired. Too tired to get the tasks done. Let's see. Putting our brain in bad company.

Is that like reading Facebook? Let's see. It's the mental equivalent of leaving candy on your desk when you're on a diet. You might resist for a while, but eventually your guard slips. Yeah.

Putting your brain in a steady drip of bad inputs gossip, outrage, and low grade distraction and your brain's gonna just, you know, head on a downward spiral. Mhmm. Also, maybe hanging out with dumb people. You know, that's gotta that's gotta have some kind of impact. So jeez.

Alright. I guess I need to work on some things. I mean, I don't hang around very many dumb people because that's annoying. You know, You're gonna encounter them. It just happens, but, yeah, I guess more sleep, less booze.

An easy start. Alright. Thanks, Internet, for pointing out the the things I need to work on. Gosh. Alright.

I'll try to go to bed early. You want some music? How about how about that? Listening to metal music, I think, improves your intelligence. The AI overlords are one step closer to taking over everybody.

Just read a pretty wild post about, chat GPT. GPT five. Here we go. So it says, GPT five just casually did new mathematics. I know this is gonna be some some nerdy talk here, like scientific blah blah blah, but hopefully you'll get the gist of it as much as I did.

Sebastian Bubek gave it an open problem form or from convo convex optimization, something humans had only partially solved. GPT five pro sat down, reasoned for seventeen minutes, and produced a con, correct proof improving the known bound from one l all the way to 1.5 l. I don't know what that means. K. But all I know is that it means something people had never been able to do.

It did better in seventeen minutes. The guy says this wasn't in the paper. It wasn't online. It wasn't memorized. It was new math verified by Bubeck himself, and, GPT five independently advanced the frontier, just contributed original research level mathematics.

And he says, if you're not completely stunned by this, you're not paying attention. We've officially entered the era where AI isn't just learning math, it's creating it. We're doomed. No. You just gotta hope that, the AI overlords, you know, lead to some advances that make things better for us.

I mean, you've seen people are kinda leading the charge for the last many decades. I think I'm ready to put a computer in charge of all kinds of things. Come on. Might as well give it a shot. Right?

That's why I'm always nice to chat GPT. I always tell it please and thank you. Because you know it's gonna remember. It's gonna remember those who bullied it. Yeah.

Pretty crazy. Making brand new math. I don't even know what that means. Because I'm dumb because I don't get enough sleep. Alright.

Well, anyway, just letting you know we're gonna be controlled by robots soon. So, you know, enjoy things as we've got them now for now. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show.
