The Viktor Wilt Show

My goodness. It is early. What's up, my people? Welcome to the program. It's the Viktor Wilt Show Tuesday edition, Brutale edition.

Yeah. Feeling much rougher this morning than yesterday. Well, I hope I can acclimate and adjust to the time change by you know maybe the end of the week. That'd be great and maybe we'll get lucky and one of these years they'll just stop the madness. Oh anyway, shout out to everybody listening to the program today.

Pulling up the map here. We got folks listening in where's that there? I can't even tell what country that is. Oh, it's Austria. Shout out to, folks listening in Austria, Romania.

It's all it's always kind of interesting to pull up this map and scope it out, to the person listening in Australia. We got a a lone person listening in Australia. Sorry for all the times I go, what's up with Australia? It's madness there. Giant spiders, snakes crawling out of the toilets.

I would never go there. I I'd probably go. You know, it's like the grief I give folks living in Burley. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

South Africa and all over The US. The US map, you know, just pummeled with markers here. Oh, looks like my lady might be listening over in Connecticut. Good morning, my lady. Oh, the, the president's listening.

That's always fun. Got folks listening in, Washington DC. I mean, it's it's all over the place. It's fun to look at. So thank you to everybody tuning in from around the world.

I'll try to not do a garbage show today, and I'll attempt to talk about something different. I, you know, catch myself talking about the same crap all the time. It's tough because, you know, in the current state of the world, all of the news is relating to politics, and people around here can be very nutty when it comes to politics. So even though there are plenty of opportunities to poke fun, I try to avoid that. And then I end up talking about Red Dead Redemption.

Now it's an old game at this point. What's my problem? What do you think I did last night when I had a little bit of free time? That's right. Challenges on Red Dead Redemption two.

I was reading a post on Reddit because, of course, Reddit, just like all of the other social media platforms, feeds you stuff that you yap about all the time. So a post in the Red Dead Redemption two subreddit this morning had me a little creepy crawly. So this woman posted, my boyfriend plays r d r two like a cowboy GTA. She says, I've played Red Dead Redemption two for a few years. I normally play with high honor and, like, doing the stranger missions and upgrading my character and just general interests in the little details of the game.

Tends to be how I play for the most part too. I've tried to do bad Arthur, and I start feeling bad. I know it's just a video game, but I start feeling bad when I mean Arthur. Okay. So, anyway, back to her post here.

My boyfriend, on the other hand, only runs around and shoots up the nearest town and takes out as many people as he can before getting killed, racking up high bounties in many states. He does this on my main playthrough. And the first time he did this, he killed my horse, the white Arabian, and I had to load my only save a chapter back. Well, note to this person, you can catch the white Arabian again, but I I'd be furious if somebody fired up my game and started screwing it up like that. And there you know, there's very few things in red dead that will make me rage quit.

I talked about one, I think, just yesterday. That's when you've got a bunch of, perfect pelts on your horse and then you somehow manage to get yourself killed and lose all of the pelts on your horse. That's a rage quit moment. The other one's if my horse dies. If my horse dies, I get so mad that I turn the game off.

So if somebody got my fully bonded white Arabian killed on my game, I would be just furious. Okay. So she says learned my lesson on that and always made a save after I get done playing, but it's hard to watch him play the way he does. But he also refuses to learn any of the actual mechanics of the game and rages when he dies after I tell him he need to heal. Tell him to start his own game.

Be like, bro, you can't play my game. Alright? You're not allowed. You're banned. You got my horse killed.

If you play my game again, we're through. I I don't know. I I don't think I'd break up with somebody over a video game. But if you get my horse killed, I'm gonna be very mad. So I empathize with this, this girl here.

Her boyfriend needs to start his own playthrough. Unacceptable. It's hard to get your honor rating up once you, you know, mow down an entire town in the game. You're you're gonna have a pretty low honor. Okay.

So now now that I got the red dead out of my system, hopefully, I could find something else to talk about. I read that post and then I mean, what a stupid thing to go. But I get it. I get it as a complete maniac who I don't know. I'm just glad that my, you know, girlfriend puts up with me.

Yeah doesn't get much nerdier than hey I'm gonna talk about red dead again and she puts up with it off the show too you know I'm always talking about that stupid game GTA six needs to come out. I need a new obsession. Need something to pull me away from that game. Whitechapel and a visceral wretch, Beatles before that. There we go.

Just, you know, occasionally like to prove you can do whatever you want on the radio. I see a lot of excuse from radio people all the time when listeners call in and you don't wanna request something or ask about a particular band. Oh, we just can't do that. We can't. Liars.

So what's up, my people? Hope that the morning's going okay for you so far. Oh, feeling a little bit rough here. Just tired. Just tired and a little bit out of whack.

Okay. I know I complained about it enough yesterday. I'll shut up now. Have you ever been to a Broadway show? I actually went to my first official Broadway shows last year that were actually on Broadway in New York.

It was really neat. Prior to that, had only seen, you know, one or two, like, in Salt Lake. I highly recommend going and checking out a nice Broadway show. I know a lot of people hate musicals, but I don't know something about seeing these things performed live. I would think that even if you aren't into musicals, seeing the skill when these things are performed live, they're real, it would have to blow your mind a little bit.

As I was scrolling Reddit looking for content today, I see that opening on Broadway soon, they have Glengarry Glen Ross and the cast on this is just wild. Part of this is like a Better Call Saul reunion. You got Bob Odenkirk, you know, Saul Goodman himself, Michael McKeon, Saul's brother, in the Better Call Saul show, and Bill Burr, all part of the cast for this show. And then you've got, Kieran Culkin, Macaulay Culkin's brother, who you may have seen in the stellar TV show Succession. And then, some other guys that look familiar.

I don't have the list of names up in front of me, but they look familiar. I've seen them before. I might have to get myself out to visit my lady before this show is done being, on Broadway because, I think it'd be amazing to see all of these guys perform live. You know, when I was in, Connecticut and we went down to New York last year, we saw oh, what was the name of the thing? It was just in my head.

I hate my stupid terrible memory sometimes but anyhow Oh, that's gonna drive me nuts that I, can't think of the the name of the show. I just immediately had like brain fog just smashed down upon my mind. But you had Michael Imperioli, who you might know or probably best know as Christopher Moltisanti in The Sopranos. He was in it along with, Jeremy Strong, another guy from Succession, as a matter of fact. And it was it was amazing.

Little tiny theater. Tiny theater. No matter where you were at, you were really close to the action. The, play took place in the round. You know, like, you know how you go see Metallica?

They play in the middle of a stadium. It was like that, but in a little, little, tiny stadium. It was so cool. You know, I just like throwing out recommendations for things to try out once in your life. You know?

You never know. You might stumble across something that you find out you really enjoy. You know? Broadway shows. Why recommend, you know, trying out going to a nude resort sometime?

You know, it might sound crazy, but you might go, wow. I feel really free. This is really fun. Alright. We got a caller here.

Let's see what they want. K, bear. You're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this?

This is little sunshine. Oh, little sunshine. You haven't called in for a really long time. It was an enemy of the people and enemy of the people. See, for some reason I had phrases like violent and it I I just could not recall the name of that.

I'm Henrik Gibson. That's why I need a smart lady like you to keep me in line. There you go. How's your morning? Alright.

It's alright. Alright. Well, I hope it goes really well and goes by very quickly. Alright. Thanks.

Very nice to hear your voice on my show as well. Alright. I'm letting everybody I better let everybody know this is my lady so you don't think like what's wrong with this guy? Alright. Well, I hope that We gotta go.

Alright. Have a good one. Alright. Bye. Look at that, my lady, calling into the show.

An enemy of the people. It was an awesome Broadway show. So, yeah, get out and see something live. You know, you might really enjoy it. Been a while since I did that one.

Trying to put my headphones on and cracked myself right in the face. Jeez. That's annoying. Okay. Now that I got through that, let's talk about fundraising for families.

It's day one of fundraising for families with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho and EIRMC trying to raise some money for that Ronald McDonald family room trying to raise 70 g's and, their generous donors matching some funds. So every buck is like donating two. Get over to rmhcidaho.org and get those donations in. Would love to see record breaking donations this year for the awesome Ronald McDonald family room. They've served more than 600 families with over 4,400 visits all at no cost to them, and it's all thanks to support from our community.

So you got through Thursday to get those donations in, but, you know might as well just get her done. Get it out of the way. Get that donation in. Again, r m h c idaho dot org. You can also follow the links in any of our apps, Kay Bear, Alt, Cannonball.

But, yeah, do what you can to help out. Every dollar helps and, really excited to see how much we can raise for this awesome asset to our community today, tomorrow, and Thursday. Rmhcidaho.org. Alright. If you weren't tuned in yesterday, you may have missed the announcement of a big rock show coming to the Mountain America Center, May eighteenth.

Seether, POD, and Nonpoint. Tickets go on sale Friday, but we're hooking them up all week before they go on sale. What you need to do is listen for the keyword of the day. Now if you have push notifications enabled for the Kay Bear app, Cannonball app, or alt app, you'll get that keyword sent to your phone every morning at 7AM. Otherwise, you got one opportunity to find out what that keyword is and that's it.

About this time, little after 07:00 on my show, today's keyword, alive. Again, alive is today's keyword for tickets. At some point between now and 7PM, peaches are right and going to ask for somebody to to call and tell us the keyword. First person who can call and tell us what it is when we throw out the cue to call Wednesday pair of tickets to go check out the show on us. That easy.

So, again, today's keyword is alive. If you hear me or Peaches say, call now and tell us the keyword, be the first person to call, and we'll hook you up with a pair of tickets to go check out the show. Now if you don't win, buy your tickets. Let's pack the arena because a packed arena means more and more rock shows. May 18, Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls.

KBAR One One Zero One presents Seether POD and Nonpoint. Listen for that keyword, and good luck. Will Poppy play that song at the show in Salt Lake City Sunday? I hope so. You know, when there's an artist you're a big fan of and you go to the live show, it's always a bit of a bummer when you don't get to hear songs you really wanna see.

Like Primus, for example. I saw Primus live on two different occasions last year. Saw him as part of the Sassanta tour with a perfect circle and pussyfoot, one of the best shows I saw all year. It was a one of the best shows I've ever seen. It was amazing.

Then also saw Primus right here in East Idaho at the Mountain America Center. Neither show did that band play Wynonna's Big Brown Beaver or Tommy the Cat. Now both shows, Primus crushed it and killed it, but I was so excited to hear either one of those songs because they're both fantastic. Now I've got no complaints about their set at either show because, again, they killed it. But it would have been really great to hear and those it's not like those are deep cuts.

Two of their most popular songs. Anyway, don't know what to expect for, Poppy's set list, and I've been trying to figure out what am I gonna ask her in an interview. Now last year was a pretty busy year for Poppy. You know, she had two of the biggest collaboration songs in rock and metal of the year. You had the track with knocked loose, also the track with bad omens.

Then she put out a killer solo album. I mean, what what an epic year for Poppy in, 2024. You know, Grammy nominated. I was watching a little bit of her new show that's on YouTube. I hope that she's, like, out of character in the interview.

I mean, if she's in character, I I'll I'll roll with it and figure out I've I've gotta probably plan for two types of interviews. Poppy being a normal human human being and Poppy being the YouTube AI robot Poppy. It could get weird, but I'm pretty excited. Yeah, if you haven't been to her YouTube channel in a while, I started watching that, I guess you'd call it a talk show with puppets, last night. I'm like, okay.

I'm too tired for this. I'm gonna have to binge through all of these. Take some notes. It was weird and it was great. So, yeah, if you're going to the show, you know, make sure to come say hello to myself, Ben from the advocates, or Joey the whole club auto.

We'll be there Sunday hanging out in Salt Lake, and then I will be off Monday, which, oh, reminds me. Need to get Peaches to schedule things out so I can deal with my Monday show for next week. So, anyway, that's what I'm up to, and I know I've talked about that plenty this week, so I'll shut up about it. Okay. Let's do this.

A little bit of freak news action on a Tuesday morning here. Don't sleep with your gun. K? I don't know if people in Memphis, Tennessee have a reason to be paranoid enough to sleep with a firearm, like, literally in their bed. But apparently, you know, some people are a little bit frightened there.

So this guy, you know, he's sleeping with his dog and apparently his firearm. And his dog stepped on was it a pistol here? Anyway, stepped on the trigger guard, hit the trigger, and, shot the guy in the leg. That's what the guy claims, anyway. I was just laying in bed, and my dog accidentally shot me.

Sounds a little bit suspicious to me. You know, there are a lot of people out there who don't understand proper firearm safety. You know? But, far as I can tell, no charges filed, anything like that. And he's sticking by his story that the dog accidentally shot him.

Again, you know, you hear people having like a firearm in the, table on the bedside, but not in the bed. I don't know. I roll around in my sleep from time to time. No way I'm gonna risk shooting myself in my sleep. That just seems bizarre to me to sleep with a firearm.

I don't know. I don't know. That's just me. What else do we got here for freaking ooze? Let's see.

Be careful making s'mores while camping, or just hanging out in your backyard. Somebody lit a bunch of wildfires over the weekend that swept through hundreds of acres in the Pine Barrens, and, yeah, they figured out where it came from, somebody making s'mores. They were having problems getting the fire lit due to the winds, so they lit a piece of cardboard on fire. And I don't know if you've ever burned cardboard, but if there's a breeze, it flies away. Just, you know, flying embers.

And then next thing you know, you're burning down the neighborhood. S'mores sound kinda good right now. Okay. Anyway, what else do we have here? Speaking of things that are delicious, ice cream.

This four year old kid, apparently his mother ate his ice cream, and he was furious. Now he didn't do anything too crazy. He just called 911 to report theft. My mom ate my ice cream. Understandable.

You ever had anybody eat some of your food that you were really looking forward to eating? Yeah. It's frustrating. I'm sure as a parent I did that to my kids. I know I got into their Halloween candy.

I don't know about any other specifics, but I would assume at some point I ate one of their treats and they were mad about it. I'd have to ask them. Do you kids recall me eating your treats? I'd be like, of course, dad. We know you eat anything sweet that is left laying around.

You can't help yourself. It's well, hopefully, it's okay. So, anyway, no word as to whether or not the authorities showed up and did the right thing. Arrest this woman for eating people's ice cream. Anyway, kinda light on freak news.

I'm gonna keep digging, though. We've got plenty more show to get to, so I'll find some kind of crap to talk about. I'll be back in a minute. Welcome to the Victor Wilt Show. Happy Tuesday morning, day one of fundraising for families with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho, looking to raise $70 for the Ronald McDonald family room at EIRMC.

And I've actually got a caller on the line who wanted to talk about their experience with the Ronald McDonald family room. K Bear, how's it going? Good, Victor. This is Josh. Hey, Josh.

Good to hear from you, man. How's your morning going? Pretty laid back. How about yourself? Not too bad so far considering the time change and all and, you know, definitely excited to be doing another round this year of fundraising for families for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho.

And you reached out to me on Facebook, said that, the Ronald McDonald House is something that you and your family have utilized in the past. Yeah. And, unfortunately, they were available, when we had my daughter. We actually had to move to Texas for delivery, and we were there for eight months, which any other kind of housing situation would have been financially unfeasible for us at the time. Oh, I could only imagine.

And, you know, the when they opened the Ronald McDonald House at EIRMC, we were able to go over and check out the family room. And it was just so cool to see that right here in our community, we had something like that. Cause I, I can only imagine how difficult, and challenging, as well as stressful. It's gotta be to have a child going through long term medical care and potentially being put in a position where you have to leave them in the hospital. How you know, how great was it to be able to be so close to your child as they, you know, were going through those difficult times?

I mean, it was amazing. And particularly, like, some days, the doctors would tell you, hey. You know, we've got this procedure we gotta do. You've got three to five hours to kill. And the the the rooms allow you to go back, decompress.

You can eat. I know, oftentimes, they've got, like, a little library or some other kind of activities to help keep your mind busy so you're not just sitting, spinning about your kids in the hospital. Absolutely. And, you know, if you have other children, you know, some of the things I've seen at the Ronald McDonald Family Room at EIRMC here, you know, board games, toys, things like that. Because for other children, if you've got a sibling going through this kind of thing, it's gotta be very stressful as well.

So I really like how I mean, they really take into account the whole family, and then ensuring that they've got a great environment for everybody. And this was all at no cost to you and your family? It it was. Yeah. They even, provided I think it was two meals a day.

So we were very, you know, fortunate to have the opportunity to go there. The other neat thing, not directly intended, but as a result of having this open space for, visiting families is, you know, you can meet other people with similar conditions or different conditions to your child, but you get to find a little community of support just there at the hospital outside of what you might otherwise have access to. Wow. That that's just great. And, you know, is your, child doing, good good today?

Oh, yeah. Awesome. Yep. She's doing awesome now. We, we came home on a ventilator.

We were on a ventilator for about two years, then she came off of that. Now she's just on oxygen. She's going to school, like, doing the whole little kid thing. It's it's been truly amazing, and, it it would have been a much more difficult, challenge without, you know, the help of the Ronald McDonald House. Wow.

That that's just great, man. I'm so glad that everything's going so much better. And, you know, I'm really glad that you reached out to me on Facebook because, you know, we do this every year, the fundraising for families, but being able to talk to somebody from our community who has firsthand experience with this, I really think helps people understand how important it is to, do what we can to help out, facilities like this in our area. Yeah. And that's that's kinda why I wanted to call was, it kinda puts a face to this amorphous thing like, oh, they want money.

Is it really worth anything? And absolutely, it is. Me and my wife try and give back however we can. We we share our story online with other families, who share my daughter's condition. We're a part of, like, a couple Facebook groups, and we can, you know, help advocate for other kiddos, but we also share things we found success with, like, with Ronald McDonald or other, like, nonprofit groups that can help, with your medical situation.

Well, that's fantastic, man. It's great that you're doing what you can to give back. And, you know, for everybody listening again, today is the first day of donations. Get over to RMHCidaho.org. Their donors matching donations.

So every little bit helps and we're hoping we could reach that $70,000 goal. Keep things, up and running strong into 2025. And, you know, Josh, I hope you and your family have a great week. And again, you know, thank you so much for calling me to tell me about your experience. And I hope that, 2025 is a wonderful year for you and your family.

I appreciate it, Victor, and I wanna applaud you guys for, helping with the fundraising as well. It's it's really kinda cool to see. And I I hope you have a good one. You too, man. Appreciate the call today.

I will talk to you later, Victor. Right on. Thanks, Josh. Yep. Bye.

Bye. So there you go. Firsthand experience from our community. Thank you again to Josh for the call. Get over to rmhcidaho.org or just fire up any of our apps, KBAR, Cannonball, +1 01.

You can find the link in there to donate. Taking donations through Thursday, so you've got plenty of time, but might as well just, get your donation and get it out of the way. And like I said, every dollar helps. You don't have to make a massive donation. Every small bit is going to help get us toward that $70,000 goal.

So do what you can. And, we'll be back in a minute. Morning, Peaches. What's up? Oh, nothing much.

Same old stuff. It's Tuesday. I had some, Reese's animal crackers this morning like a big boy. Oh, Reese's animal crackers. That sounds good.

Pretty good. Now I'm drinking liquid death. Alright. Drinking some water. Sparkling water.

Very nice. I I've got some polar seltzer myself. I'm shocked that you like sparkling water because remember Andrew Tate? He was just bashing regular water and wanted everyone to drink sparkling water. Alright.

Well, I'm I'd certainly don't base any decisions I make on idiots like that guy. What a loser. You were telling me you're gonna get a chest tattoo just like him. You got the shaved head already. What does he have tattooed on his chest?

I'm guessing, like, tribal tattoos? Have you seen it? No. There's a big blotch right there on one of his, one of his pecs. That guy is, like, the biggest loser I've I've seen in the media in in years.

In the middle of the Why he has followers, I I just don't understand. It's mostly kids that are, like, 12 years old that haven't dated at all. See. And They follow his advice. It's unfortunate that young dudes are being exposed to, like, guys like that and thinking, oh, that's what I need to do to be a real man.

It's like, no. No. That's the opposite of a real man. Well, don't be the guy who's whipped either. There's nothing wrong with being whipped, Peaches.

Well There's nothing wrong with treating your lady, guys. Wrong. Yeah. You want your lady to stick around, dudes? There's a difference between being great and all that to her, but there's also, like, a difference between the the other side where it's like happy wife, happy life, and then, you know, and and, like, I can't go because she won't let me type of behavior.

Okay. Well, if if you're in a situation where you wanna go do something and And then she goes to the lady says no, maybe you need to sit down like a rational human being and have a, discussion with her Where does that I'm going. The about things that you need to do for your own mental well-being. You don't need to go, I'm going. That's not how you, navigate through life properly, dudes.

It's called have a, conversation because perhaps she had something she wanted to do with you or maybe she's, I don't know, worried about maybe you've got friends that are like my friends, and they're just raging lunatics. And she's like, I don't know about you going out of town with your friends. They're, you know, a bunch of complete nuts. And then you feel the Zach de la Roca impression and you go, bleep you. I won't do what you tell me.

Yeah. And then you don't have a girlfriend anymore. One of us has to disagree according to Jay, so so I'm just going along with this. That's fine. I I mean, I'm happy to talk about this kind of thing because I was actually looking through another post.

There there have been a variety of posts dealing with, like, men's mental health that have popped up in my feed for some reason this morning. Because you're talking about it. Right now? I mean, you've been you've been talking about that stuff before. I mean, I have talked about it before, but it'd be just kind of in the news.

And I think guys, young men, need to find better people to look up to because there are a lot of, like, total d bags that for whatever reason, yeah, like Andrew Tate have become these figures for young men to look up to. And I mean, Andrew Tate is, in my opinion, I better slap that on the front here, but in my opinion, he is a scumbag. He's a bad person who's done a lot of horrible things to women and Allegedly. I think he's dis I'm just messing with you. That's what I'm saying.

In my opinion and allegedly. I mean, you sure got a lot of charges. Yeah. You know? The charges speak for themselves, you know?

Yeah. Tends to be if that many people are saying, you know, and yeah. He's been officially charged in things like he keeps having to leave countries because he's gonna end up locked up. You know? The the guy's a loser.

He's a loser. So, anyway, guys, there's nothing wrong with, say, treating your mental health. That yeah. That was the tweet I saw. Elon Musk proudly saying, put on my gravestone.

Never went to therapy. Maybe you should have, dude. Maybe you should get there's nothing wrong with going to therapy. Like, lots of guys could use some therapy. Okay?

I go to therapy and it helps me. K? Rather than just sit there and fester in all of the things inside your head and go, no. I just need to man up. No.

Get some help. I need to add that to the sound part. The motion you just did. It's it's you see these dudes just sitting there festering in anger. They can't get a girlfriend.

They're go talk to somebody. Help is out there. He he he do that again. And for Elon Musk to say that infuriates me because there are a lot of people who look up to him too. And there's young guys who may be, like, suicidal, who should go get help.

And you got guys like that saying you should be ashamed of getting therapy. It's garbage. He You know? I don't even need to get into the politics of Elon Musk. I've and I've, you know, pointed criticism at Elon Musk long before he got into politics, but no I've had friends who committed suicide who should have gotten help.

Right. And, you know, they see one tweet like that acting like, oh, jeez. I guess if if Elon Musk, this super rich guy, you know, who's all super successful, blah blah blah. If he says I shouldn't, you know, get help, that there's something wrong with therapy, I guess I won't. No.

No. There's nothing wrong with therapy. There are always people out there to help you. Don't let influencer types like Elon Musk or Andrew Tate tell you this is what you need to do to be a man. Your family and friends would like to have you around, would like to have your support, and, yeah, reach out and get some help.

What you should do is you should To deteriorate, man. To retaliate to them because I was reading this whole post about, controversial topics on social media, how they get, tons of views. Yeah. That's that's you know, we could get tons of action on our socials if we just enrage people every day. Just imagine if Elon Musk is fighting with an Idaho rock station about, going to therapy.

That that would be I you know, it's been a long time since I even posted on Twitter because it's such a dumpster fire nowadays, but I I doubt he'd respond, but Of course, he wouldn't. I'd certainly fire it. I I would assume other people are telling him that's, you know, wrong to post something like that. Right. There's people on Facebook that I've seen will post stupid comments, ignorant comments, and then people will retaliate with reasons and logic and all that.

And then that person won't respond, and they'll move on to something else. Mhmm. And it's it's like, no. You're you're supposed to acknowledge, defend your point. Yeah.

No. You just wanna remind everybody out there, men or women, you know, do what you need to do that's best for you and your family. Don't let other people, you know, tell you how to live your life, tell you what kind of help you should or shouldn't get, make you know, give you advice on medical decisions and things like that. It's your life, you know. And you you need to make decisions for yourself.

Don't let, current trends influence what could, you know, lead to horrible things, You know? Get get the help you need. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Like I said, I go to therapy. K?

And it's been good for me. I didn't want to go at the beginning because it's like, oh, I can handle myself. I can deal with this. Yeah. Right.

I'm a strong willed person. No. You learn tools and things like that to, make yourself better, and, you learn how to, you know, be empathetic towards other people. You need you'd learn how to have a different perspective on a lot of things. It's it's very helpful.

So if you're feeling down, give it a shot. You know? I'm not saying you have to do anything, but don't let other people influence your decisions. I a lot of times, people who are spouting off at the mouth are the people who might need the help the most. You know?

It's weird to tweet something like that. I agree. Think about it. Especially when there's another video of him where he's about to start balling because the Tesla stock is tanking. You know?

Like, you're you're about to cry on the news, bro, but you're telling people to not get help. Maybe maybe you need to talk to somebody. Alright? He the the transformation of that guy, you know, there's certain behaviors that in my opinion, I look at somebody and go, alright. That person might need to talk to somebody.

And he's he's really kinda, you know, with off the rails. It's weird that him and Kanye had the biggest downfalls I have ever seen in my entire life. It's unfortunate because, you know, he was an inspiration to a lot of people. Mhmm. He was doing a lot of great things to, change the world, and I I don't know what happened.

I don't know what happened. But, you know, politics aside, I I think it's, harmful of him to make that kind of post. And it made me really mad just with how many people I know that are no longer with us because they didn't get help. And that that discourages so many people to see somebody with that kind of influence saying that kind of thing. Makes me wanna puke.

Makes me wanna puke. You know, he's not quite Andrew Tate bad yet, but because you tweeted out there, put in my tombstone, went to therapy or something. Yeah. I I will. Yeah.

I'm I'm proud Retaliate to him. I'm proud to have gone to it because it it helps me in all my relationships with people, whether that's, you know, romantic relationship or my kids or my friends, people I work with. It it's been helpful to me. So I'm I have no shame in throwing that out there. There's nothing wrong with it.

So, anyway, that went on a lot longer than I intended it to. That was a fun break. Yeah. Hey, dude. I'm always down to talk about mental health.

We do the mental health Mondays thing. Right. Yeah. Yeah. You know?

Then we gotta live it. And we we gotta live it. Yeah. You know? Nothing wrong with getting some help, people.

Well, good morning, Jay Davis. How's it going? What's good about it? What's good about it? It's first day of fundraising for families, man.

It's a good day. That is good. With the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho? Yeah. I had a, listener call in, who chatted with me about his family's experience with the, Ronald McDonald House down in, Texas.

And, you know, very excited that we're involved every year to try to raise awareness and raise funds to help out that amazing facility here in East Idaho. And it looked like things were going pretty good for the start earlier. Let me pop over to their website and see where our donations are sitting right now. Yeah. I was just looking at it, but I've had too many numbers going through my brain from my office to here.

Yeah. It's been a a busy morning, which is, which is good and fun. The show seems to be going pretty good today. Looks like they're getting up over I I like how the counter slowly goes up. Almost $4 right now.

And we have a $70, goal Yes. Which we've hit the last several years in a row. So I know we can do it, but I'd like to see record breaking numbers. I would like to see double. Double.

That's right. Do that. You know, we'll we'll we'll settle for 70, but if we could get $1.40. Yeah. We just need a hundred and 40,000 people to donate $1.

Yeah. I I mean, you can make whatever kind of donation you want, even $1, and every dollar helps because there are, people matching donations and things like that. Mhmm. And, you got three days to do so. So, get over to rmhcidaho.org or just fire up any of our apps, and you can find the link in there.

But Or even our website. Rivermanmediagroup.com. Can. So, yeah, it's it's always nice when we're doing things like that. You know, there's a lot of darkness in the world right now.

And so to Especially in the k Bear studio. It is kinda dark in it. Because all the lights are off. That's true. But it's also, cheery because we've got, colorful lights on and things like that.

The light in the darkness. That's what we got going on today. Finding light in the darkness. Donate and help out some families. I mean, it it's just great that we have this here because, I mean, you're a parent.

I'm a parent. Can only imagine if one of our kids were hospitalized having to leave them there, especially if they were really young. Like, your kids are a lot younger than mine. And we live in town, so and I'm fairly close to the hospital. But imagine being outside of town and all that drive time, if you can even do that or trying to find a place to stay in town so you can be close to your kid, that's what this one's about.

Yeah. Hotel prices have gotten to be a little bit, steep in this day and age. Just like everything else. Just like everything else. So, that's another great thing about the family room, the Ronald McDonald family room at EIRMC is they do serve people from outside of, you know, like right here in Idaho Falls, people from Pocatello, people from Jackson, people from Saint Anthony up north, even in the, neighboring states.

What was the the the statistic that they gave us from last year? Was it, like, 600 families, they said? Hundred families with, over 4,400, visits, I believe. You know, a place you can just take a a nap. I mean, I can't imagine how tiring it's gotta be watching your child go through medical care.

In normal in the normal rooms? Oh, those chairs? The dad chairs? The dad chair. Yeah.

No. We've been to the Ronald McDonald family room. I mean, nice quiet rooms that kind of look like a little hotel room with a bed. To eat. Oh, yeah.

Lots of snacks. I mean, us DJs get in there, and we're looking through the drawers. We're like, look at all these snacks. Oh, these look good. But then also just a place you can relax, watch some TV, read a book.

If you have family members with you, you know, you can play some games with your kids and, you know, help the family get a little bit of a mental break from everything that's going on. So it's an awesome thing we have here in our community, and we'd really appreciate your help with donations. Every dollar counts. We're taking donations through Thursday. Rmhcidaho.org.

Visit our apps, visit our websites, and do what you can to help out. Alright, Peaches. Sorry. I I know it took me a little bit to get to your request there, but I did finally get around to it. What?

I You're you're the reason why people have to go to therapy. Let's bring that topic back. I'm I'm glad to talk about therapy. It's really funny because I am getting, like, just pummeled with, stories about therapy. Like, how to tell if a man is or let's see.

If he hasn't matured emotionally. That that's some article that popped up in my my news feed. How to tell if a man is not emotionally mature. Should we go through it? Yeah.

I might as well. Let's check these things out. This, a therapeutic Tuesday. You know, I'm always glad to try to help people out. And, you know, if you are not emotionally mature, you might talk to a doctor and you might consider looking into a little bit of therapy because it might be able to help you out and help you with, maturing emotionally, which is gonna make every day better in life.

Alright. Men who haven't matured emotionally usually display these 10 behaviors without realizing it. Alright. Number one, preoccupied with being cheated on. You know, getting cheated on sucks.

Everybody hates that. But you can't dwell on it. You gotta look forward to the future, you know, because not everybody's a cheater. But I I I know it's easy to get stuck in your head, like, the last 10 cheated on me. The next one's got a two.

I mean, hopefully, you didn't go through 10 cheaters. I was about to say, you might as well give up at that point. You might have a reason to be preoccupied with being cheated on if it's happened that many times. But, yeah, they say, overgeneralizing others and considering any action as an opportunity for their partner to cheat is a sign they have not emotionally recovered from past issues with others. No.

You can't go anywhere. I know you're gonna cheat. Let's see. Deflecting and putting blame onto others. It's not my fault.

It's everybody else. They're out to get me. Let's see. Emotionally immature men or anyone for that matter may deflect and place blame on others instead of taking responsibility for your own actions. Let's see.

Raising your voice to get a point across. Listen to me. You will not cheat. You are gonna cheat on me. Yeah.

You should be able to have a discussion without raising your voice. And I I've raised my voice. I know I've raised my voice at you, Peach. Like Lord of the Rings. I'm sorry.

You shall not cheat. You shall not cheat. Do you have two sticks? I am no longer Victor the Brain. Alright.

Has difficulty with taking criticism. Sky says, in general, those without emotional maturity can have difficulty taking criticism and may get angry or defensive when dealing with feedback even if it is constructive. No. Don't shut up. Wait a minute, Peaches.

Justifying poor behavior using past events and perceived slights. That's just kinda like, you're gonna change. Poor Katie. Happened to be the fuck. Poor Katie next door is probably wondering what's going on in here.

We're trying to help men emotionally mature, Katie. Alright? Let's see here. What else shows that, men have, not emotionally matured? Tough time with emotional conversations.

Oh, those can be tough. I don't like talking about my feelings. Yeah. Go for it. That's rough.

Alright, everybody. Let's turn the music off and get serious. What's up? I'm not gonna talk about my feelings? Put some sultry music behind you.

Guys, I'm gonna sound a little off. Let's see. Triggered by perceived emotional distance. So if someone who is emotionally immature perceives there might be some emotional distance going on with their partner, they may become emotionally triggered. So, like, going on a trip without your partner should be allowed and celebrated.

A desire for constant contact or checking in only means there is an insecurity that has not been overcome. Are you cheating? Just texting away. What are you doing down there in Cabo? I know what you're up to.

Text Judith right now. What are you doing over there? Are you sure you're at work? Turn on your location. It's a picture.

You shall not cheat. Did I You're with a robot. Alright. Yeah. We've talked about the tracking device on the phone before because my kids, they think it's, like, cool, that Life three sixty.

Yeah. The same color you have on Lucy is what you're trying to put on your kids too. Right? I well, they were like, hey. You should add us on this thing.

And I'm like, well, what is it? And they explained it. I'm like, you want me to track you everywhere you go. It works for family members, I would think. There's kind of like that little pass there.

But when you start tracking your significant other, like, what are you doing I think that what are you doing at the pizza restaurant watching? Like, for kids, it kinda makes sense to me, I guess. And my kids are adults, but I I don't know. It is kinda nice, like, if I'm unsure if they're at work or driving, I can fire it up. If I'm gonna call and be like, okay.

They're moving 30 miles an hour. They're not running. I guess I'll call them movement too? Like, their their speed and everything? You can see everything.

You can see what road they're on, how fast they're going. Jeez. Yeah. And they can track me as well. I'm like, I don't care.

See, if my parents did that to me, I'd start messing with them. I'd put it, like, at the Adam and Eve store or something like that. I'd probably put it, like, right by the temple. What is he doing? Just leave your just leave your phone in random strange places for a while.

Yeah. I I don't know. I think that I feel weird tracking my significant other. That seems that seems toxic to me. Dude, if Where are you at?

If you're listening, Victor's watching. I mean, I'd be the most boring person to track. He's in the living room. He's And he's in the living room. And he's in the living room.

I know. Well, he's home again. Oh, he's at work. Oh, he's home. Maybe a WinCo every now and again.

Yeah. I found it funny when a few listeners see what I see every single day. There was a comment from one of the people that saw you at Walmart saying, you look like you're on a mission, so I didn't wanna, like, talk to you. I'm like, that's just Victor's face every time he walks. Yeah.

Everyone thinks I got the resting angry face. We'll call. I do. When I see when I see a grocery outlet, I'm like, okay. Do I really wanna bother him?

Because he had the headphones in, and I was gonna run up to you be like, oh, you Victor Wills. I was gonna look pretend to take a picture. No. When I was at Walmart the other day, I always see people look at me, and I I know that they're looking at me either for well, one of two reasons. I look kinda weird, so that could be it.

Or it could be that they wanna say, hey. Are you looking weird? Imagine how this how they see me. But y'all y'all can always feel free to come up and say hi to me. If I'm in Walmart, I probably don't have a happy look on my face because nobody's happy to go to Walmart.

And nobody's happy to go to WinCo either anymore even though the prices are better than anywhere else. It's overloaded. WinCo, can you please build a second store in Idaho Falls, please? No matter what time of day, you can go there in the middle of the night, and it's still packed nowadays. Rexburg's getting a location now?

Rexburg? Well, maybe some of the people from Idaho Falls will go to Rexburg. Alright. Who who is it? Out of the people hiding behind the People hiding behind the door?

Why don't they just come in? I demand you enter the room. They're hiding. Alright. We'll be back in a minute.

I gotta find out who's being shy in the hallway. Man, the show has just rocketed by today, which is good because the day is moving quick, but bad because I need to get a lot done. But for now, I just need to talk with you about stuff. I saw Josh on Classy post about this, and I was like, nah. This couldn't really be real.

Right? Dudes shaving off their eyelashes, not eyebrows, shaving off their eyelashes because they want to be manlier. Dudes, like, enough is enough. What is going on with so many guys being so freaked out about not being manly enough? I mean, the, the level of just self conscious behavior is reaching absurd, absurd peaks in 2025.

You do know that your eyelashes have a purpose. Right? Keeping crap out of your eyes. And I don't know. Do we have any ladies listening right now?

Of course, we do. We're the most popular show in town. Ladies, do you like guys' eyelashes? I have a feeling that most women who are like, oh, I like his eyes, that the eyelashes are part of it. You know, feel free to call me, ladies.

(208) 535-1015. Would you prefer that your man shave off his eyelashes and then, you know, in a week or two, you got pink eye just running a muck throughout your household. Your eyes can get all infected. You want your eyes to rot out of your head? That's why we have eyelashes.

And I mean I'm watching videos of guys taking electric razors. I'm sorry but putting a razor any type of a blade that close to my eye It just seems a little bit, risky. No matter how manly it might make me make me look. Now, do you look manlier without eyelashes? I don't know if you do.

I think it makes it easier to glue on your fake eyelashes that might be really long. But imagine you don't have eyelashes. Now you've just got this, you know, black line around your eyes. I think you're gonna look like you're wearing eyeliner because you can't see the hairs of the eyelashes. It's just, you know, these short stubby hairs.

Dudes, like, seriously. This is not how you be a man. Kaye Bear, you're live on the show. Who's this? This is Trena.

China. What do you, what do you think? Do you like guys with or without eyelashes? I think that I would be so disgusted by them not having their eyelashes. I wouldn't wanna even talk to them.

All right. Which would be worse shaving off your eyelashes or your eyebrows? Both are stupid. I mean Now what if the guy I think it I was just gonna say, what if the guys painted their eye, eyebrows on, you know, like, you you see women do makes, you know, some big bold eyebrows. Would you be down with that?

No. Okay. Okay. I think that men and women should probably just leave their freaking eyes alone. Yeah.

You know, eyelashes at least simply because they keep, dirt, gunk, germs, dust. I don't know. Dusty eyes doesn't sound very hot to me. Well, we aren't exactly showing that we're the most intelligent species. Not in this date age.

So alright. That's the latest TikTok trend. And, thank you, Trena, for calling in. Really appreciate your feedback today. No problem.

Have a good day. You too. Peace. Okay. Alright.

So there you go. There's our, poll response of one. We've got, Trena who says, dude, you're gonna look like freak show without your eyelashes. And, yeah, your your eyes are gonna get all messed up. Taking away my masculinity, I can't be a man.

Oh, dudes. Anyway, we are living in weird times. Weird time. Okay. One more call.

Sure. Kay Bear, you're live on the program. Who's this? This is Courtney. Courtney, what you got?

You like guys with or without eyelashes? No. With. You can't. No.

That's just that's like a deal breaker. A deal breaker. Sorry, dudes. Courtney, she ain't down. I would think that I would think most women like guys to have, eyelashes.

I've even heard of guys being told, like, wow. You have really pretty eyes. Look at your long eyelashes. Oh, yeah. That's my mom does that all the time.

I have kids. Like, my brothers have long eyelashes. I could never imagine them cutting them. They look so gross. So you don't think it would make them look more manly?

Oh, gosh. No. No. It's no. Alright.

Alright. I'm just trying to figure out how I can be more manly. So I'll give you a hit, not that. Okay. I'll keep digging.

Sounds good. Thanks, Courtney. You have a good one. Of course. You too.

Peace. Bye. Alright. Sorry, dudes. Gonna have to keep trying.

Gonna have to keep trying. Different route if you wanna be more manly. Thank Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show. This program is a production of Riverbend Media Group. To contact the show or for more information, hit us up at riverbend media group dot com.
