The Viktor Wilt Show

Hey. What's up? It's Viktor Wilt. I am here. It's good to be back.

I intended, you know, to be here yesterday, but my weekend went a little bit awry. We'll get into that later. For now, I gotta get myself, like, warmed up back in the swing of things. I got a lot to do today. Yeah.

Missing one day. You know, an expected work day in my world. Yeah. It makes a lot pile up on a Tuesday morning, so wish me luck. Wish me luck.

One thing that I did over the weekend was try to distract myself by watching a lot of TV. What what all did we dive into? My my brain is so frazzled from the weekend. The weekend is a blur that almost doesn't seem like it actually happened. It was so so awful.

Anyway, we watched well, a good chunk of the last of us TV show. My daughter's in town from Phoenix. Boy, she sure sure showed up on the perfect day. It was good she was there, though, probably. Oh, we also watched a whole bunch of, RuPaul's drag race, which that show is, it's a great distraction.

It it's a wild show. Very, very crazy. So that that was, I I would say fun, but I wasn't having fun at the time, but it it worked to turn the old mind off a little bit, you know, nice distraction. The other reason I figured we'd start off with TV shows because I just saw saw a thread called what has been the biggest middle finger to fans in the history of TV shows. Alright.

Alright. Well, let's let's dive in here, and, hopefully, we don't have any spoilers for newer shows. If show if so, I'll try to avoid them. If it's a show I haven't seen that I care about, I'll just skip it altogether so I don't unintentionally spoil myself on something. Oh, yeah.

I remember this one. Adult swim canceled metalocalypse, you know, with the mighty death clock. And fans launched a letter writing campaign to bring it back. So they aired a segment where they were feeding all of the fan letters into a paper shredder. I think it's pretty metal.

Pretty metal. Yellow. I know made people angry. I will admit, even though I wanted the show to come back, I did think that was funny. You know, that's quite the way to aggravate fans.

Let's see. Playing firefly episodes out of order intentionally. What? Why? Let's see.

Somebody says they wanted the more action heavy episodes to play first to draw audiences. That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. How are people going to understand the story? You know? All right.

What? Whatever. Let's see. On the last episode of little house on the Prairie, they literally blew up the entire town with dynamite. That was the season finale.

How are we gonna end this show? Well, let's just blow it up. Okay. Yeah. The plot has a ruthless robber baron buying up the town, and the only protest the residents can make is to destroy their own property rather than see it taken over by by this guy.

I think it makes for a good strong pioneer ending, said the show's creator. That's the laziest ending ever. What are we gonna do? Yeah. Blow up the town.

It's gone. The end. Alright. Alright. Well, let's see.

They have, the TV show Dallas. This is all old stuff so I don't feel bad dumping spoilers. If if you were planning on watching Dallas start to finish, I'm gonna ruin it for you right now. One of the characters wakes up in the shower and then, wrote the whole season off as just a dream. Okay.

There there have been a number of shows that have done that one. Let's see. They've written characters out of soap operas because the actor said something stupid about the writers that made them mad. Yeah. If you're in a role controlled by the writers, you should probably be nice to them.

Okay. I don't wanna see anything about the ending of true blood because I haven't watched that. Okay. But I haven't even watched the finale of Dexter, but I know it's so universally hated that, I don't really feel like it's worth putting in the effort to get to that point. The end of game of thrones.

I I think had there been time to better explain everything that happens at the end of game of thrones, it could have ended up being better. But that last season, man, I'll I'll admit even as a huge fan of the show, a little bit rushed. And, yeah, you gotta give these things a little bit of room to breathe. You know? Still worth watching the show.

I will say game of Thrones despite some of the, again, rushed feelings of the final season, I'd say it's worth watching. I'm not gonna read the line that they put in here because I don't wanna spoil it, but it was, I'll admit I was like, really? Really? Alright. Well, anyway, I'm starting to feel a little bit more warmed up here, literally and figuratively.

Lot of time spent out in the cold last few days. And as a guy who hates winter, I'm I'm sure you know how much I enjoyed them. Alright. Speaking of Santa Monica, and I hope everybody, as far as your family and friends go that are in the Los Angeles area, hope they're doing okay. Talked to a number of my friends there, well, Friday.

Wasn't really filling up the call Saturday, but, thankfully, everybody I know seems to be doing alright. There are some people who I don't know extremely well who, lost their homes, and, you know, it's it's very sad. But I saw a post pop up on the radio subreddit. Yeah. You should follow that.

You know? You wanna read up on the biz? R/radio. Somebody said, hey, KISS FM Los Angeles. What are you even doing?

I'm not sure who's even programming KISS FM in LA. Well, I could find out for the, poster if they'd like to know. But why aren't you just tossing your format out the window during the crisis? Well, hey. You know?

Alright. When when people are worried about losing everything they own, you know, worried about the safety of their families and their pets and things, Maybe they need a little bit of Sabrina Carpenter in their lives. You know? Can't really talk about what's happening in the community, get information out there, maybe take phone calls from people, maybe engage with the audience going through a, you know, straight up crisis. Nah.

Throw him some throw him some Taylor Swift. They'll be fine. I'm not surprised by this at all. Isn't kiss FM and I heart media station. I think they've, pretty much shown that as far as, the listeners go pretty low on the priority list.

Yeah. It's an iheart station. Shouldn't be surprised at all. Nah. Just just keep playing, Bruno Mars.

They'll be fine. They'll be fine. If they want the news, they can go to the news. Give them them happy jams as they, you know, try to escape smoke and flames all around them. Oh, my goodness.

I wonder what kind of responses we got from, the radio subreddit, followers like myself. Just pretty much telling people that, you know, don't listen to them. Okay. Maybe the DJ's own homes are burning and no one is manning the desk. Yep.

Trust me. They they got options. Alright? They got options. There's somebody who could do live coverage, guaranteed.

Iheart's a huge company. Look up their, studios online. Alright? I I I think they got somebody around who could jump on air and take some calls, give some news updates, be encouraging and supportive of the community. But who needs that?

Who needs that? Right? Anyway, again, hope if you have family or friends over in that area, they're doing okay. Pretty scary stuff. Pretty I've seen some crazy videos.

And I think last night, they were supposed to have winds kick back up again. I hope it didn't make things worse. I have not checked the news updates this morning. Well, strong winds create critical conditions for fires. Great.

That have killed 24 people. Keep that in mind when you're making those snarky comments on social media about Californians. 24 people dead. K? Have some empathy for people.

Come on. It's okay. It's okay to be I know that people around here can be sympathetic and nice. I learned that over the weekend we at least my listeners some of the best pea people on the planet you folks so I know you could have some empathy toward the Californians as well alright Their situation much worse. Yeah.

It's a different kind of situation, but, I'd still say worse than what I dealt with by a long shot. And that, was was brutal to me. So I can't imagine how people there would feel right now. It's the Victor Wilt Show. Already almost 7, and I've accomplished nothing.

Well, okay. That's a lie. Tiny bits. Tiny bits. But, too much catching up to do today.

Anyhow, let's take a look at another post where people let their comments and thoughts. What seems to be overpriced, but in reality is worth it? Let's see if I agree with these responses. What can I think of that seems to be overpriced, but in reality is worth it? I mean, it's a hard question to ask right now because everything is overpriced.

That's okay because I hear that what, we got 6 days till the, $5 dozen eggs that I saw at Winco will go back down to 99¢. I saw it on social media. It's gotta be true. A politician said it. Right?

It's gotta be true. K. Alright. What what's the old saying? I'll eat my hat.

Is that a saying? If we have, in 6 days, a dozen eggs for a dollar, I'll eat my hat. What hats do we have around here? Got a Sam Adams hat. I've got a Burger King crown, and I've got a state police, hat.

I'm I'm thinking the Burger King crown is going to be the easiest eat. So okay. Well, let's see what the Internet says are overpriced items, but in reality are worth it. I mean, the eggs I had for breakfast yesterday, they were still good. Look.

If you go out to a restaurant, you can order a 3 egg omelet or something. What's that gonna cost you with some some potatoes on the side? Probably at least $10. So I think even at $5, a dozen eggs, that that ain't too bad. Yeah.

I know it's better when they're about half that price. Alright. But still, they they go a long way. You can feed a few people a a meal off a a dozen eggs, maybe 2 or 3 people tops. Okay.

The Internet says good shoes and socks. Now good shoes are worth it, but I don't know at like over a $100 I don't know if it's worth it. That's why I go to Ross by myself, you know, whatever shoes I could find that are comfortable for a quarter of that price. I wish I could just buy HOKA's. They're comfortable.

They're just as stupid looking as the shoes that I picked up at Ross, but that's too expensive. I don't think it's worth it. So no. And socks, same deal. Just, you know, find some decent ones at Ross or something.

A really good mattress. Now having a good mattress. Sure. Yeah. That's worth it.

But no, I think they're still overpriced. I don't think it's worth what you pay. Now I've only read rumors online about the markups for mattresses. I don't know if these things are true, but from what I understand, they're marked up like they're incredibly marked up. Alright?

So I'm gonna go with no not worth it even though you've you gotta have a good one. Alright? Not having a good mattress sucks. A really good bicycle helmet. K.

I'm not a bicyclist because I can't afford a bike. Yeah. You seen how much those cost? Overpriced. I don't know if it's worth it.

I'm sure a bicyclist would tell me it is but I ain't got that kind of dough however if you're gonna ride a bicycle I would assume investing in a good helmet so if you you know fall off your bike and land on your head I don't know what they cost but I'm gonna assume if it protects your brain if it protects your skull it's gonna be worth it way more worth it than the outrageous prices you have to pay for things like mattresses or shoes Let's see. High end sheets? I have well, I guess I can't claim I have a what's high end sheets? Like, what, price range are we getting into when we conclude these are high end sheets? I have sheets that I think are good.

They weren't super expensive. I will say they're better than the, the dirt cheap ones that you can buy on Amazon. But also, I bought some really cheap sheets that are fine too. So I don't know. You probably shouldn't drop more than like $50 on sheets right?

Or is that I I don't know. Don't ask me. I'm a budget shopper. All right? You take a look around my house we got a lot of thrift store action going on and a lot of sale action going on in that place.

Oh, let's see. More shoes. Herman Miller office chairs. K. I haven't sat in one.

When I was shopping for a chair for my home studio, I did look at those and went, yeah. Right. I don't know. I think the chair I have at home is just fine. I think it it was a little over a hundred bucks.

It might have been like a $150, which for me, I was like, oh, this is a splurge on a chair, but it was worth it. I don't know if you need to go much further than that. How how good could those chairs be? I I haven't tried one again. So maybe they are how many times are people gonna put shoes?

Why can't Reddit users figure out that you can search the thread and see if somebody's already given the same answer as you? And I talk about dumb users on Facebook. Well, there's just as many dumb ones on, Reddit. And I discovered over the weekend there's a lot of, idiots on another social media platform I hadn't really used called Nextdoor. I'll get into that later with that the the d bag of the day it it wasn't that bad you this person just really caught me at the wrong moment but I I held back I I was not I I didn't lash out.

Alright? Alright. Well, anyway, I would say an item that seems to be overpriced but it's worth it would be, video games because they're the same price they were, back when I was a kid. So the fact that they haven't, like, tripled in price like everything else, I'll give them I'll give them that. Hey, JD.

I just saw your text message. No. We do not have phones yet. Call you in a minute, or I'll text you in a minute or whatever. Anyway, morning, everybody.

I'm back in here doing it live on a Tuesday that feels like a Monday. We'll get through it. We're gonna power through. It's gonna be over before we know it. Talk to the old people in your life about scams, k.

We keep seeing these romance scams pop up and, you know, the average person's gonna go, how could you fall for that? Well, sometimes people get lonely and logic goes out the window. So you gotta talk to the old people in your life. There was this woman, 53 year old, identified as Anne. They didn't give her last name.

She paid $851,000 to a scammer to help with what she thought was cancer treatment for Brad Pitt. Alright. Here's how it all happened. She had posted pictures of her lavish ski getaway, on Instagram and gets a message from someone claiming to be Brad Pitt's mom then gets followed by another account claiming to be Brad Pitt and he starts telling him how much his mother loves this woman's social media I guess. Okay.

Seems kinda weird to me but I guess that Anne was going through a rough patch with her millionaire husband and she was, lonely and this account started sending her poems and endearing messages and note. If you think you're getting messages from a celebrity and they're like, I need $850,000. K. I would go for probably meeting up in person. Alright.

But at bare minimum, a zoom call. Now I'm sure there are ways to you know scam that kind of thing too but some Facebook or Instagram messages that's just not gonna cut it as far as knowing for sure you're talking to somebody now also I don't know what Brad Pitt's real net worth is. Let's find out what the internet says it is. Because I would imagine that as far as medical treatment goes, Brad Pitt can afford it. Brad Pitt, net worth.

The internet says 400,000,000. Jeez. Wow. Half a $1,000,000,000 basically, according to the internet. So, yeah, I'm I'm pretty sure he didn't need the 850 gs.

You gotta do a little bit more investigation before you just send that kind of money off. Oh, and what kind of terrible person do you really have to be to prey on lonely old people? I really hope they start figuring out ways to catch and make a public example of these scammers because even though I think it's crazy somebody would fall for this, people do. And I I I feel bad for the old people even if this is just ridiculous. Anyway, that's our genius of the day, Anne.

Maybe don't post about how much money you have online either. Look at me enjoying my trip to Aspen. Staying in a mansion. Yeah. Might get some people, coming after your doe that way.

That's why lottery winners, you know, the smart ones just disappear and you never hear from them again. So I've got my daughter in town. She came in Saturday from Phoenix to hang out for Christmas. Never ending Christmas. It has been, the Christmas season for, like, 4 months for me or something.

When did I start working on Christmas music for Classy? I don't know. It was a long time ago. So anyhow, a number of weeks ago, had my younger daughter out for Christmas, then celebrated a late Christmas with milady. And now my, daughter's out, and we're still doing Christmas, over the weekend.

And I had intended to, like, whip up some good meals and have fun and, you know, I'd I'd get to my weekend again in a bit. But now that everything's kinda mellowed out, maybe I could take her out to eat today. And I I don't feel like cooking anymore. No more dirty dishes. Well, let's see what's, over ateastidahonews.com as far as East Idaho Eats goes.

Yeah. Every week, they put up a new review of a restaurant in our area. So if you're looking for something new, it's a great place to find somewhere delicious to eat. Go to eastidahoneews.com. And under features, click east Idaho Eats.

Looks like this week, they're talking about abracadabras, which is a place I have been before. They have a location in Idaho Falls and a location in Pokey. Actually, I think the one in Pokey what was it? About a year or so ago, they had, a fire breakout. Took them quite a while to get that back up and running, but good to see they're running again.

Full steam ahead. There it is. They got the picture of the Captain Crunch French toast. Oh my goodness. Now that's pretty much dessert for breakfast, but it's gotta be the most delicious French toast I've ever had.

It's really hard to go in there for breakfast and get a normal breakfast when I see that. It's like, dude, you Come on, man. You've had a lot of cookies recently. Do you need Captain Crunch French toast? Yes, you do.

Yes, you do. So, they're open for, like, breakfast and lunch hours. I would love to see abracadabras do dinner, but, yeah, if you wanna get over there, they are open at least the Pocatello location because that's what this article's about. Open 6 days a week from 8 AM to 2 PM. They're closed Tuesdays.

So I'm not sure if that's the same hours as the Idaho Falls location. Seems likely, but you might wanna do some googling or give them a call to double check. But I I'll tell you. You cannot go wrong with that place. It's so good.

And, since I did not eat very well over the weekend oh, well, wait. I get off work at 3. I guess it's gonna have to be something different, but perhaps on the upcoming weekend, it would be a a great place to go get some French toast. Anyway, check out eastidahoneews.com. East Idaho eats under features.

Was that band not just great when they played at the Mountain America Center last year? It was fantastic time. Even had Lou Brutus hanging out. He actually called me yesterday, you know, just to say hello and congrats on little Lucy coming home, and we got talking about 2025. And I know Lou would like to make his way back out here again.

So, hopefully, we'll get some show announcements for here in East Idaho so we could find something good and bring him on in. I know he had a blast. You know, getting out to craters of the moon doing some night photography. Yeah. We've got a little bit of an edge on getting Lou to come visit us because we've got the great outdoors and wide open spaces with no people where he can point his cameras at the sky.

Those fellow radio stations that we're homies with in the eastern part of the US, not very good for, you know, nighttime photography. So, haven't seen any any announcements yet, but I would imagine the Mountain America Center's working on it. Paige has sent me a link. I don't know if it was Saturday or Sunday or yesterday. Weekend's very foggy.

But 9 inch nails, teasing a tour announcement, and I guess people have been leaking information as far as the tour dates goes. Sadly, I can't find this full list of tour dates. I probably need to dig deeper than the 9 inch nails subreddit, but all I found on there were a few particular shows, none of which were close to us. So I don't even know the last time I saw 9 inch nails live, but it was a long time ago. Might have been was it the with teeth tour?

Nah. It had to be after that. I I just remember they had this screen behind the band that was a, like, straight up usable drum machine. It was it was crazy unless they were just lying and it was part of the production. But hey.

They pulled it off and sure made it seem like, you know, Trent was up there laying down drum beats on a giant digital stream screen. So, anyhow, soon as we get some solid 9 inch nails tour dates, if there's anything remotely close to us, I'll let you know. But, yeah, I'm I'm excited for that. And new music from the band. Fantastic.

Alright. I'm gonna dig up some freak news. Be back in a few. Phone lines are still down. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Phone lines are down. But, hopefully, they'll be fixed soon. If you need to get a hold of me, victor@kbert.fm or shoot me a Facebook message. You know?

I don't know. There's a lot of ways to get a hold of me. Hit me up on the socials. It's freak news. Let's party.

Breaking habits is hard. Hope that didn't sound a little bit wonky on air there. Okay. Anyway, let's do some freak news. Okay.

Where to begin here? The world's ugliest lawn winner says she leaves watering to mother nature. I'm looking at her lawn here. It's just dead grass. I mean, grass is pretty much a waste, isn't it?

Now I'm no ecologist or like, you know, you know, environmental list type person with a scientific knowledge of what is good and what isn't good for the environment. But I do believe that I have heard that grass is just kind of a waste. You know, if if it wasn't for all my neighbors with their super nice lawns, the never ending competition between me and the retired neighbors in my cul de sac, I'd probably let my lawn go to crap because it does seem like it takes a lot of water. And I even have a very efficient sprinkler system, thank you, jd, That minimizes the use of water that I use to keep my lawn looking somewhat as nice as the neighbors around me. But, yeah, are they using this as a way to, you know, raise awareness about the facts that, or the fact that maybe having an ugly lawn is, good for the environment?

That's right. Let your neighbors go crazy. Let the lawn dry up. Alright. If you're planning on going to vacay going on vacation if you're worried to go about getting norovirus, don't go to the Netherlands.

Apparently, it's, like the worst place in Europe as far as data showing who washes their hands after they go to the bathroom. I had norovirus one time. I've I've talked about it many times. One of the worst sicknesses I've ever had. I'd like to visit the Netherlands, but I don't wanna spend my vacation feeling like I'm gonna vomit for a week straight.

Wash your hands, people. Yeah. Italians coming in number 2. 43% of Italians apparently refused to wash their hands after using the toilet. And then Spaniards at number 3.

Russians and French right behind them. That's almost half the people. Alright. That's grody. I don't even wanna think about that.

I'm I'm not big on germs. Alright. How old was the person who wrote this article? And how hard were they trolled? I'm not buying it.

This article from Sky News says many young adults unable to do basic DIY tasks including changing light bulbs. I think that they were making, phone calls, doing surveys, and young people were just having fun with the surveyors. Because what's the old joke? How many blanks does it take to, you know, replace a light bulb? Because that's the easiest task ever.

You unscrew it and put a new one in. I don't buy that a large percentage of young people don't know how to do this. Now there have to be people out there, you know, that that don't know how to do this. But I'm guessing it's not 1 in 5 of people 18 to 27. I wonder if if they ask them about different types of light bulbs because okay.

I'm looking at the ceiling here. We have those fluorescent tubes. They're awful. They're like, school. You know?

Why they put kids under that terrible lighting that's just torturous? I don't know. But, I wonder if Peaches would know how to replace a fluorescent tube. You know, he's a younger person. I had these kind of lights in my room when I was a kid And let me tell you a horrible story about why I fear for my future from being a young person in a bedroom with fluorescent tube lighting.

I was a dumb kid as most kids are. They're uneducated. And I don't remember what I think I was trying to kill a spider on the ceiling or something. I was throwing something at the ceiling. And I did not have the protective cover over the fluorescent light fixture.

And I hit one of the bulbs with something and it blew up in my bedroom. I don't think I told my parents about this. And, I don't remember if I swept it up or vacuum. You're not supposed to do that. K?

And I think back on that and go I'm gonna die because of that one of these days. What did that do to me? That's why you should always tell your parents, kids, if you do so do something dumb. I don't know. You might have needed to have a hazmat team come in or something like that.

I don't know. But I did know how to replace fluorescent tubes as a youth because it's a little bit more tricky than a regular light bulb but not by much. I mean, we're talking barely more difficult. But I'll ask Peaches when he gets in here. Hey.

You know how to replace these bulbs? We'll see what he says. But a regular old light bulb? Come on. Come on.

I think young people were trolling or this was a biased survey from, you know, boomers who wanted to go, we're out of kids these days. Good morning, peaches. Good morning. Yes. It's a much better morning than the last few.

I was listening to this morning, and I'm like, uh-oh. He had he didn't hop on the air at 6:05. Is he is he not showing up again today? Luckily, I saw your truck here. Yeah.

No. I just barely missed the break. I was a bit a couple minutes behind. I didn't mean to out you for being, you know, l a t e on the air, but, Hey. You just walked in.

Let's throw each other under the bus. It was only a couple minutes. That would be used as a reference, you know? I won't say who else I beat here Oh. This morning.

Oh. Anyhow, yeah, it was not a great weekend for me. I haven't talked about this on air yet, but if you follow me on social, you probably saw. I gotta give a shout out to, the East Idaho community and our listeners. I am peaches.

And? You're part of it. You're part of it. No. It was really cool to see how many people were sharing my posts and throwing out tips and things like that for how to find my lost kitten.

So Saturday started off great. You know, I wake up. I got my daughter coming in from Phoenix, so I'm cleaning house. I'm running errands. I go over to Winco, load up on all kinds of good food.

And then I snowblowed the driveway. You know, got out, dealt with, the snow in my driveway and my neighbor's driveway. And I get back in the house. I'm like, alright. Let's let the cats out for a few because, you know, they they wanna go outside.

And with this weather, they tend to go out for not very long. You know? Especially the little one, Lucy. She goes out for, like, 10 minutes, and she's back in. And I tend to just leave the patio door hanging open so she can come in and out.

So I was cleaning around the house and, you know, some time went by, and I realized she hadn't been back in, but Koopa had. So, you know, I go out and yell for her. I'm like, alright. She's on an adventure, little little turd. You know?

But she'll be back. Then hours and hours start going by. And I started getting concerned because that's just not like her. Came time to go pick up Taryn. And I by that point, I'm getting kind of stressed out.

So go get Taryn from the airport. It's getting dark outside and let her know, like, alright, you know, Lucy's missing. And then as it got later and later, I really started to panic, you know. And if it was Koopa, I wouldn't worried at at all. He's been out, you know, and stayed out all night before.

But it it was a little bit chilly this weekend. A little bit cold and, this was just not like her at all. So, you know, I was pretty quick on putting up the, you know, missing cat posts on social. Wanted to get it out there. And I tell you, trying to go to bed Saturday night without her in the house, she's never been out all night.

I was, very disturbed by that. It, it was very hard to go to sleep, and I pretty much just watched TV in my room till I passed out. You know? Having dreams, she showed up. And I I left the patio door open all night to my kitchen so if she did show up, she could just come in the house, not even the garage.

So, you know, the house was freezing. Sunday, Taryn's like, why do you keep your house so cold? I'm like, I I usually don't. I usually as an old man, I keep it pretty warm because I get cold. Yeah.

The older you get, the hotter it gets inside the house. Yeah. So satter or Sunday, nothing. Nothing. And I you know, all the animal shelters are closed on the weekend.

You gotta make those calls. You know, you call the, police dispatch. This was not a call I wanna make, but hey. You Now have you guys, picked up any cats that got hit by a car in the last 24 hours? Thankfully, no.

So I'm like I mean, what I thought the whole weekend was she had to be stuck in somebody's garage. So Sunday you know, because I drove around the neighborhood so many times in the last few days. So Sunday, I went to a few neighbor's houses and were like, you know, hey. You know, can you keep an eye out for my cat? Have you seen her?

Nobody had seen her. And so Sunday, I was like a disaster. I couldn't believe how upset I got about this because I've Well, it's your child. What are you talking about? I know, but, like, I've had other cats out all night.

But with her, it was like something kid. Yeah. And, you know, I got her from lieutenant Crane, back in May when she was little tiny, just a little tiny. Little baby. Yeah.

You know, like, raised her up, you know, living by myself. It's just me and the 2 cats. That's what I got. I can't believe I'm a big cheese dog. She's gotten big.

Yeah. She's gotten big. So I'm I'm like really attached to that little kitten apparently. Of course. So I was As you should be.

Freaking out. Freaking out. And, I mean, like I said, Coop, I don't worry about him too much. He's he's old. He's, you know, he wanders and he's tough.

I but Herb, I I just I was losing it. I was losing I couldn't eat Sunday. You know? And, so I messaged Jade Sunday night. I was like, dude, I'm sorry, but I I don't know if I'm gonna be able to go to work.

I'm just a disaster. I figured you would. Sleep. I I wasn't I was hoping you weren't here. Yeah.

So I got to sleep, you know, probably, like, 1 or something Sunday. I mean, I just tossed and turned in my room. And you're just panicking the whole time? Yeah. I'm just thinking about her in the cold.

And here, you start thinking about every possible horrific thing Oh, yeah. That could happen. Yeah. I was I drove around my entire neighborhood Sunday all day. Thank you for driving around and looking for her.

I was hearing my head, way to do your job, peaches. That's peaches. So, you know, my brain's running through all of the horrible scenarios that could possibly happen, and I'm just so sad for and Koopa, he's he's freaking out too. I think he's feeding off of me, you know, checking the cameras from the middle of the night, which they were waking me all night. I had the alarm form set super loud, my phone by my head.

Of course. So each time a neighbor cat would show up at the front door or something, I'd wake up, look at it. Oh, oh, it's not hurting. Oh, that would make me eat it. Sleep.

I'd be so mad if I see the neighbor's cat. Get out of here. But Koopa, he would go and he'd just sit in the driveway and just look around. And then he'd go sit on the back deck and just look around. You know?

And I and he was usually, he sleeps all night, but he was doing that multiple times all night. So he's worried. I could tell. So yesterday, you know, I crashed hard, slipped in a little bit, got up, and it's like, alright. I gotta really go all out.

So bundled up and just started going door to door to my neighbors. And I I met tons of neighbors I've never met before, and I'm I'm a bad neighbor apparently. You know, people who've lived next to me for years. Well, you're keen to the block. They have to meet you.

Well, you know, it's it's nice to get out and meet your neighbors, I guess. Not the scenario I'd like to meet them in. But one house that I almost stopped at on Sunday, and I'm mad at myself for not stopping there. I go to the door, knock, and I'm like, hey. You know, I live behind you.

I'm looking for my cat, and he's like, oh, there's a cat that's been stuck in my garage a couple days. But I, you know, haven't been able to see it. I can't get it out of there. So I go in the garage and, you know, say her name and just she, you know, she she's really quiet. She just, like, squeaks and chirps.

But she made the sound, like, louder. The loudest meow I've ever heard her make. And, it was like when you take them to the vet, you know, for a car ride and she just loses her mind. Screaming for help almost. So she just starts howling, and I look under the truck, and she just came running up to me.

Oh, good. Took her home. And, you know, the listeners and everyone around here were just so great. So many people shared it. I couldn't get on Facebook to respond to people because I was getting so upset because every post was my post.

Yeah. I could just scroll and, like, it was just her over and over. Same with my feet. Every single post with Lucy. I'm, like, man, the power of Victor on kay bearer.

I and, you know, so please do that for everybody else. You know, I saw a missing cat post last night and shared it. I still haven't been able to catch up on all the messages. But I mean, you had, like, Lou Lou Brutus, like, I Lou shared me. Yeah.

He was he was the real concern. You had this mixie from Stitched Up Heart Yeah. Reaching out to you. Lou called me, on I think it was Saturday. He called me yesterday though after I found her and I talked to him for a good amount of time.

But lots of people calling me, texting me, everybody sharing. It was it was awesome. So please try to do that for other people, because it's it's horrifying when you lose a pet, especially during this time of year when it's so cold out. And I only had one person that made me frustrated throughout the process, said something rude. It was on the Nextdoor app because it was suggested that I share on the Nextdoor app.

So They're they're always the neighborhood Karens. So yeah. It's funny because it says what road they live on. This person lives on your road, Peaches. On my road?

Yeah. It's not me. I get to I guarantee you it's not me. I was coming to this to help find the cat. It wasn't you.

And, this person chimes in on a missing pet post, you know. Maybe you should have your cat on a leash. Oh, let me let me know what address they're at. I'll I'll walk I'll walk over to their place with a collar and a leash. It's like Put them in their place.

Why would you say that to somebody who's trying to find their missing pet? I here's what you should've done. I did see someone gave you a laugh react What? On your missing cat post. Who did that?

I know the name, but I I just saw them, like, maybe they fat fingered it. I'm I'm hoping so. Because that's happened to me before. That's pretty messed up. That's so I but I was very patient.

I didn't, I wanted to say some very not nice things to this turd of a human. Oh, yeah. But, I just said, you know, I talk about it on air often enough. Sometimes people need to just keep their mouths shut when it comes to the thoughts that pop in their head. You're seeing people laugh at those losing their homes in the fire.

Exactly. And they're also losing their pets. That that's what you should watch today. Do a rock radio DJ reacts to, people of the Pacific Colossades fire reuniting with their pets Yeah. And try not to cry.

Oh, dude. I was a sobbing mess a few times this weekend. Like an only mess. And I've got my daughter at the house so I'm trying to keep it together. You know, like, hey, welcome.

Let's have there there was no welcome. Let's have fun. Couldn't couldn't even cook her the food I wanted to cook. I was like, oh. It does hit you harder when, like, your dad cries in front of you.

Yeah. So I I would just leave. Yeah. I would just leave and go, like, hide in another room for a while and then come back out. Oh, how how's the show going?

I swear I'm trying to cook dinner. Can I just make something way easier? We're eating popcorn. Can I just warm you up my leftover pizza? Is that fine?

Because I can't do this. I can't I need to sit in front of the TV and be distracted. You should've showed up today for the the noon hour today. It would've been fun to have her in. Well, I mean, I would say I could go get her and bring her back, but then I gotta, like, take her back again.

She's probably sleeping. She's probably after the last couple days, like Oh, yeah. Alright. Peace and quiet and no drama. I'm just gonna sleep and relax.

But, yes, thank you again to everybody. You were all great. Thank you, Peaches, for all your support and driving around looking. I know lots of people were keeping an eye out. Josh, you know, he's in the neighborhood.

Oh, yeah. So he was keeping an eye out. He told me he was looking too. Yeah. He was.

And and he saw me driving around and stuff, so he'd check-in and he news and yeah, dude. It it was just so wild yesterday. I because yesterday, I was getting toward the starting to lose hope phase. Right. And, that's one thing that I saw online was don't give up because people were sending me all these, you know, tips.

And they're like, you know, cats can be missing for months and show back up. Like, don't give up. So that was what put me out. You know how much I hate the cold and going out there, but I was like, she's in the cold. I'm going to hoof it around the neighborhood and find her.

Yesterday, I was like, should I bring him flowers if he if he loses hope? But don't lose hope. Don't give up. And, boy, when I when I got her, walk her out to the truck, you know, usually, the truck, she does not wanna go anywhere near that, but she jumped right in. She was ready for a car ride Good.

And, took her home. Well, you can tell she misses you or she missed you. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I I I could tell the guy who I got her from was like, yeah.

She's definitely your cat because she jumped right into my arms and was just clung on for dear life, but it was rough, dude. It was rough. I did not expect it to hit me, that hard. I think it's just because, you know, all all our other cats, it's like, you know, Koopa's Maddie's cat. And, you know, raised them with a lot of people in the house.

But her, she's just kind of, you know, just been me and her and Koopa. So I got another one for you. John Wick's dog. You know, you gotta watch that scene. Oh, no.

Not to cry. I am not watching John Wick. No way. Saw this story pop up out of Jefferson County, and I was like, what? What?

But it's not our Jefferson County, so it wouldn't surprise me. No offense. Jefferson County residents. No. Somebody in Jefferson County, Missouri, I guess they must have been trying to keep a deer as a pet.

Don't do that. Okay? They're a wild animal. I know that some people, you know, didn't learn from watching Tiger King, and they still gotta have them wild animals as pets, but, yeah, deer. Just let them be.

Let nature be. They found this deer that had a collar on, and, also, somebody had painted on the side of it the word pet. Hey. Look. Look.

This is my you know, kinda like a dog. It's a pet. Do do you leave it alone? Alright. Painting on the side of a deer.

Even if you think it's your pet, that seems pretty messed up to me. Don't paint your pets. Don't paint your dogs. Alright. I mean, I don't know what kind of pain it was, but it just doesn't seem right to me.

Also, I'm looking at this deer here. It has antlers. K? I used to make fun of people who were worried about aggressive deer till I saw one in person. They're big.

And those those antlers, they can mess you up. I've watched enough horror movies to know the damage antlers can do. You ever seen The Lost Boys? Meh. I I don't want to give any spoilers if you haven't seen that masterpiece of a movie.

We'll just say antlers, you know, they can even work against vampires sometimes. So, yeah, don't try to keep deer as pets. Don't paint them. Alright? Painting animals is bad.

Okay. And I'm glad it wasn't Jefferson County, Idaho. Alright. We know better. Well, maybe.

So is TikTok getting banned? I haven't really been keeping up on the news in the last few days, and I wish I could take calls right now because we may have somebody out there with a little bit more information than I've been able to find this morning. So they're saying TikTok may be shut down on January 19th, and people are going crazy. Now what a number of people are doing is firing up some other kinda app that I believe is based in China called RedNote. I hate to break it to everybody, but if they ban TikTok because of the associations and risks of, you know, perhaps the Chinese government getting access to our data, I would imagine red notes gonna get banned in no time at all if this goes through.

Now so many people in the US are making money off of TikTok that I highly doubt they're actually going to ban it. And, you know, hopefully, this requiring the company to divest and, you know, sell to someone in the US would ultimately result in, you know, lessened security risks. Because I do think TikTok is a good platform. I didn't for a long time. But Josh Tyler, he I don't know.

It was a number of months ago. Started telling me about these, you know, great videos he saw in there. And so I started using it again and uploading. And I do have to say, I think the best video content is on TikTok, which is a surprising statement coming out of my mouth. But the best videos I've seen in a long time as far as just short funny videos.

They they were definitely TikTok videos. So I hope it isn't banned. I don't think it will be banned. But one of the things that's, you know, floating around in the old rumor mill is that the Chinese government that's literally what the article I said. I I didn't believe the government had any ownership in it but said the Chinese government is considering selling to Elon Musk can we can we have it go to anybody else alright because Twitter was never really that great in my opinion But we all know it's it's it's gotten way worse.

You know? Elon Musk really screwed it up. So, you know, if you're a TikTok user, you probably wanna see it go into somebody's hands so we ain't gonna mess with it. You know, don't try to fix what isn't broken. You know?

It's very popular and working extremely well. But, anyway, I I don't know what's gonna happen. I guess we gotta wait till 19th, which is, that's a weird date for it, but that's Sunday. Probably get some information before the end of the week. But, yeah.

My prediction, it does not get banned because there's so much money being made in the US. Heaps of money. And I just can't imagine well, I guess the you know, the government does some pretty stupid things sometimes. So, as for the care of the average gen zer and their flourishing, social media business, that that probably is low on the priority list for a lot of these boomers in politics. So I don't know.

Guess we'll wait and see. But, you know, if you're killing it on TikTok, I I hope the government doesn't shut you down. I hope they figure out some way to continue to make this work. Because, again, getting on the platform, it's a pleasant place to scroll. And most social media platforms are not.

So, you know, they let Elon Musk take over. Well, I guess it would be one less platform that I'm staring at to kill time. Well, good morning, Jay Davis. About time you showed up to work. I know.

I know. Thank you for being an understanding boss man. I'm a sensitive boy, Jade. Very sensitive. Here comes your kitty.

When it comes to my little kitties, especially the little baby. Oh, jeez. I get it. It was rad. Are part of the family, dude.

Yeah. Some and a lot of times, they mean more. Dude, well, I was like, the more I got mentally wrecked as the weekend went on, I was like, this is worse than when my mom died. What's wrong with me? But I guess like that, you know, I knew it was coming.

You know, you kind of mentally prepare yourself over a long period of time. Yep. You know, my little 9 month old kitten didn't expect her to because she doesn't take off. You know, she especially when it now that it's cold, like, she'll go out on the back deck and piddle around for a few, go under the deck, and then she runs back in. So after many hours had passed and then it got dark, I just got progressively worse as the weekend went on.

And Sunday, I was a complete disaster. Complete mess. And I'm trying to not show Taryn because my daughter shows up for vacation. She knows what kind of a dirtbag you are. Did you just sit in front of the TV and watch those, doom and gloom shows?

No. I I couldn't even do that. Oh, you were really bad then. Yeah. I mean, I did watch a doom and gloom show, yesterday once, everything was okay.

Started watching The Last of Us with Taryn. But prior to that, we just watched episode after episode of, RuPaul's Drag Race, which I tell you, if you're if you're in a bad mood, I don't know how anybody could no matter what you think about RuPaul, you throw that show on. It's so crazy and unhinged. I don't know. It was it was a good distraction.

Also watched, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Which I've been wanting to see that one. It was pretty good. It was pretty good. You know, I you know, if you're into the nostalgia, it it had the nostalgia.

Alright. And, it it's fun. It it was a nice fun watch. But There's a new one on the Netflix that came out that I've been watching, American Prime Evil. If you want Netflix that came out that I've been watching, American Prime Evil.

You want some of that doom and gloom? I don't see now. Still very interesting. I watched a documentary before my world collapsed. I think it was called the devil next door.

You seen that one? Nope. It's about, I don't know, some kind of well, a guy from Ukraine living in the US back in, like, the late seventies, and if they he's suspected of being Ivan the terrible this like horrific, you know, Nazi guy. Yep. And what was kind of weird is even at the end of it like, I'm pretty sure the guy was guilty of horrible things, but you never really find out for sure.

You know, the trial went on for so long and there's so much weird disinformation because, like, the Russians are involved and there's all this, you know, shady documents and I don't know. I by the end, I was like, well, okay. I watched that. But, you know, I don't I guess I recommend it. I don't know.

Well, try American Prime Evil. American Prime Evil. That was the old west. You know I like a good western. Oh, yeah.

This one this has been pretty good so far. I'm only 3 episodes in, but there's some debauchery for sure. Okay. So now is it a show or a documentary? It's a limited series on Netflix.

Okay. Okay. So it's a made up story. Yeah. With with some historic figures in there.

Okay. I mean, I have been watching some pretty good stuff lately. Have you checked out yellow jackets? Nope. I you're not too much into horror.

It's I think I'd call it horror kind of survivalist. I don't know. You might like it. You might not. You're you're a weird one.

Sometimes I I don't know what to recommend because it it's definitely got some horror, and there were a few scenes in it that I'm like, is this really gonna happen? Are the Is this really happening? Like, what? What? Nah.

Nah. I'll tell you off air. Okay. Because I I talked to Josh about it too. He brought up this one particular scene.

Like, I can't believe that was in the show. Yeah. There was, the show that he was telling us about? The 2. I don't remember that.

A couple weeks ago. I don't know. I'm I'm a little bit frightened. Raccoon. Finding the pile of drugs out in the thing.

Oh, craccoon. Craccoon? Crac coon. I skimmed through that one and he left out a bunch of stuff. He didn't tell you about it some things?

No. He he made mention of one scene, but there's a one before that one that was like, why did you focus on that one and not this one? I I can't even describe it on air because it's it's horrific. Alright. Maybe maybe that'll be a nice one to watch with, Taryn afterwards.

Work. No? Bee movie. So bad. Well, again, thank you, Jade, for your support and all of you listeners.

You know, I like I told everybody earlier, please try to share posts like that for everybody. You know? I'm I got so much support during my, rough weekend. Please do that for everyone. Well, I'm I'm grateful, but I probably don't deserve that as much as many other people do.

So please help other people. It's the Victor World Show. Peaches in the house. What's happening, peaches? I I don't wanna sit in this chair because I'm afraid Jade made it warm.

As far as I know, he did not, but I don't know how good my sense of smell is. I I he sat in it, but I think that's the only type of warming that I'm aware of unless I missed something. With him, usually, you know. I'm self conscious about that type of thing. I'm afraid, like, someone's gonna sit in the seat after me and go, man, what was he doing in this chair?

Farting it up, obviously. For you, it's breaking that chair supposedly, allegedly. That's right. If, you're sitting in this chair, you're breaking it. I'm not breaking that chair.

I just put the foot rest lower. Yeah. But Peaches, I need it high. I'm short. I know.

You're a foot shorter than me. I know. People saw the video of us saying happy new year and me next to you. There's a different dynamic there. Let's see.

I'm trying to find a side gig, Peaches, to make some money. Okay. Go for it. And, I just read that the National Archives needs people who can read cursive. Did you learn how to write in cursive in school?

3rd grade. That was that was the whole thing with 3rd grade. You gotta learn cursive, and my favorite's the capital l. It's like a Yeah. Loopy loops.

That that that one is, satisfying. The z is the hardest. X's are kinda hard too. See, it's been so long since I wrote in cursive. Look up look up a cursive z.

It looks like a 3 with some squigglies attached to it. Cursive z oh, no. Let's pull up the whole cursive alphabet. Another fun one's the capital s. That's a it almost looks like a rubber duck.

Alright. Let's have a look here. Oh, yeah. The z is weird. It's like what we're looking for.

I can never do it. Like, what pull it up. I wanna try writing it. See it, like I can barely read that. It does look like a a 3 pretty much.

And I don't know if I don't remember the x being that easy. S. Yeah. Alright. I guess I remember most of my cursive.

Look at the lowercase k. It's a weird one too. Yeah. It's it's a it's a little bit odd. A little bit odd.

The the uppercase q is kinda weird too. However, thinking about, like, old documents because that's what the National Archives is looking for people to, I guess, transcribe. Some of those, old documents, the curse of writing is, very hard to read. We also can't forget that it's an old English if you go all the way back, like, super, super old. Yeah.

The old document. Hard to understand and read. So what are they paying people? Oh, they're just looking for volunteers. Nope.

Not my side gig. I don't work for free. I don't know. There there's gotta be some people out there who are so bored. They'd be willing to transcribe, documents for the government for free.

I tried writing Victor in cursive and it looks What do you see? Kinda terrible. It's probably better than what it would look like if I did. Let me try. Alright.

Yeah. Let me see. Let me write my name in cursive. Because I I can't do a signature. What is the curse is the curse of v just pretty much a normal v?

It's it's kind of like a normal v. Yeah. Yeah. I yeah. I'd see.

How how are you supposed to connect it? You just kinda went from the bottom. Yeah. Is that how you do it? Okay.

I thought cursive was supposed to be like 1 your pen never leaves the paper. Right? Yeah. Look at that. Look at my crappy cursive.

It's bad. It's real bad. Look looks like you're still shaken up by the cat missing. I I no. That's just my crappy cursive.

It's terrible. Well, it show and buy a little bit quicker than I thought it would, and I did not accomplish what I hoped to. But, hey, we made it through a show, which is better than yesterday. It was funny. I got a number of messages from people yesterday who didn't realize I was playing, like, really old prerecorded bits since I wasn't here.

It was, you know, you could call them best stuff, but that's a stretch for this program. Anyhow, it's good to do an actual show today and be in a better mental state than the last few days. You know, speaking of mental states, everything okay with Elon Musk? He's gotten kinda weird. We don't even need to get into politics.

We can just talk about, you know, his his personal profiles and things like that. You know, he was recently called out by the Internet for having a fake Twitter account that, like, praised him endlessly, and he ended up I I believe ended up coming out and admitting that that fake profile was his. Super cringe. I mean, I'll admit, I've thought about making a fake profile just to, troll people. You don't go around and, trash local radio stations that, are not one of ours or jump on fellow rock station.

You know, post and be like, you y'all should be listening to Kay Bear anyway, but I I couldn't bring myself to do that. Let alone Victor Wilt is so great. He's amazing. I don't know if I could, forgive myself for that. Well, the new thing are accusations about him faking his skills at video games.

Apparently, he is highly ranked in a couple of games like Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2, but he's got on some live streams to play these games and people who are really into them were like, I don't know. It doesn't really seem like he knows what he's doing. How could he be one of the top ranked players in the world for these games? And there's some pretty long articles about this, but people been breaking it down on Reddit and places like that. It really would appear what's most likely and what people are alleging online that he had to have hired people to do the grinding.

If you're not familiar with, video gaming, it's not like, you know, grinding like that. This is just like tedious, tedious gameplay that you do over and over to strengthen a character. And so in order to be able to just slaughter, you know, these very difficult bosses, you need a very powerful character. But it could take months months months of doing nothing but play these games to get up to, you know, the proper levels to where he could just come in and annihilate everything. So pretty prominent gamers are calling him out on this, and, it's gonna be interesting to see if he admits to it just like he did with the, fake profile that praised him all the time.

So it's just kinda work. Doesn't he have stuff to do? You know, I don't you know, working on space. Some people are just too competitive. You know?

I gotta be number 1 at everything. And I don't know, dude. Just go back to innovation. You know? Better electric vehicles.

And, how about that tunnel system? The high speed trains and all that fun stuff. We don't care if you're good at video games. How many people care if somebody is actually one of the best ever at a video game? It's gotta be a very small percentage of gamers or people in general.

I'll admit, I'll I'll play games on easy. I don't care. Sometimes, I just want the experience of playing the game and getting the story. I'm not gonna beat my head against the wall. I've only got so much time to play video games.

So easy mode it is. I got no shame. What? Somebody wanna come in and show me how it's done? That's fine.

I have children. K? I got stomped on Super Mario Party a couple weeks ago just brutally by both of my kids. They just destroyed me at Super Mario Party or whatever. It's you know, it's the new Mario Party.

I don't know if it's super, but don't worry about these kind of things. Just try to have fun. Can you imagine if you just had to be the best at everything to where you couldn't just kick back and enjoy things? Gotta be able to brag it up. I mean, I wouldn't even call myself a top player of red dead, and I know that game inside and out.

I've 100 percented it. It doesn't have difficulty, levels. You just get what you get, and I'd still not come out and be like, I'm one of the top player because I I just don't care. I just like the game. It's fun.
