#0169 - Lori Vallow Speaks, Bigfoot Cries, and Giant Cheeseburgers of Doom - 03/06/2025

Okay. Sorry. Couldn't help myself. At least I wasn't singing along to the song like some radio DJs do sometimes. I don't think I've ever busted myself doing that.

I'm not a good singer, so that's probably why. If I had the pipes for it, maybe I'd bust out the end of a song for you. Oh, cringey. Speaking of cringey, holy cow. I was just checking out this news article about a upcoming episode of what is this?

Dateline? Yeah. Dateline tomorrow night. Yikes. What do we got going on?

Lori Vallow Daybell, the jailhouse interview. So I mentioned recently I've been listening to new episodes of one of my favorite podcasts, last podcast on the left. They're currently covering the story of the daybells which if you're not from East Idaho I I mean, I'm still sure you heard about this story. It's gotta be the most horrific story that has ever happened in East Idaho. I'm I'm pretty sure I can't think of anything worse.

I mean we've had some grisly stories around here but not quite as bad as that one. Anyhow, Lori Daybell and Chad Daybell, if you are, again, from outside of the area, convicted of, yeah, killing their own children, jeez, and other people. I don't know if I've ever seen, you know, Lori Daybell aside from when Nate Eaton interviewed them asking, where's the kids? You know, he flew over to Hawaii. Nate Eaton from down the hall.

Where are them kids at? Boy, you know, the demeanor in the little clip of this interview, a little bit different than prior to being arrested and thrown in jail. So, check this little clip out here. She's scary. She's a frightening woman.

You know, some people, you just see it in their eyes like, oh, what's going on behind those eyes? That's Lori Daybell. Chad was convicted, and he's on death row now. I I understand that. Yeah.

But They have some fascinating stories. Possibly think that fascinating stories? Wait. This is your life, lady. Wait.

She's so weird. That would be exonerated, after what happened. The same way, I will be exonerated. We will both be exonerated. Oh, yeah.

Sure. Because? I have seen things in the future that Jesus showed me when I was in heaven. Uh-huh. And we were not in jail, and we were not in prison, and they were still in the future from now.

Okay. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. You're you're gonna be getting out sometime soon.

Mhmm. Well, that's gonna be pretty wild. I would imagine Nate Eaton's posted about that. But, Dateline tomorrow night on NBC, they describe the prison sit down as extensive and often combative. I mean, horrific as that story is, I did mention I've been listening to the to the, podcast about it.

I certainly followed it, extensively when this story was breaking because I mean, East Idaho News was like on the ground for all this stuff and they're my neighbors down the hall. So, you know, even got a little bit, sketchy around here. You know, people you might not remember this if you're not from around here, but there were a lot of people that were very passionate about the daybells being innocent of any kind of wrongdoing. And if he got into some of their forums, some of those people pretty scary too. So I recall a few days like, and with all that reporting going on down the hall.

I don't know if I want to go to the building. You know? Is some kind of crazy gonna show up here? And I don't know. Even creepier once you know you find out yeah absolutely convicted that day they were digging you know and they had the the crews out digging at the daybell residence in Rexburg so horrible So awful.

So anyway, yeah. I highly doubt the day will ever come that either of them get out of jail and I certainly hope not. But that interview should be pretty interesting. I wish I knew how to get a hold of the guys at last podcast I tried, shooting an Instagram message to Henry Zabrowski and, yeah, it was one of these sorry you can't direct message this person they have to approve your invite and you know I'm sure he doesn't know who I am but I don't know I figured I could give him some some scoop or something I don't know maybe it's just weird listening to a podcast you know one of my favorite podcasts talking about East Idaho for multiple episodes. But, yeah.

I wonder if they're aware this interview's going down. Probably. They they're pretty well researched. But, anyway, creepy crawly. Creepy crawly.

That that woman is definitely, scary. She is frightening. Anyway, glad I could start things off on a bright point today. Yeah. Don't worry.

I'll I'll find some Florida man or something stupid and cheery to follow that one up with. Great to have those guys back on the scene. Also, one of the nicest bands on the planet had the opportunity to interview Michael when the band came through here with hailstorm. Was that last year or was it the year before? Time doesn't mean much anymore, does it?

Anyway, he was great. We hit it off pretty well. He was showing me his vinyl he'd picked up on tour and such. Just talking old school metal. Good dudes.

Volbeat going to be on tour again with hailstorm as well as the ghost inside. Gonna be hitting up whatever the name of USANA is now Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre. I think that's right. I'll get it down one of these days but anyhow they're gonna be there. Got the new album dropping on my birthday, June 6 And, if you wanna see my reaction to hearing that song for the first time, I posted that video on YouTube for your enjoyment.

Nothing like me half awake during the 06:00 hour giving my thoughts on something brand new with zero edits just like I do my radio show. Yeah. It's kinda weird putting up my show on demand because most podcasts, they take a bunch of time to edit their show and make it sound really good. I don't do that because I don't have time to do that. I mean, I put up close to an hour of content on, you know, Spotify, etcetera, every single day.

And, man, if I could whittle down a full week of shows into one cohesive hour once a week, I guarantee it would be great. But I can only imagine the average person who's into podcast tuning in, and they're like, this guy is unprofessional and sucks. It's like, no. I I didn't spend, you know, multiple hours whittling down that one hour of content to forty minutes to make myself sound really good. So you kinda get what you get with this program.

I do my best everybody. Alright? But, it's live. It's live. You fall on your face.

You suck. That's just what it is. You know, there ain't no recutting this break, for example. It's out there. It's happening as we speak.

So anyway, check out that video if you enjoy seeing my, tired face. But again, good to see Volbeat back on the scene. And the new album, I think it's gonna be, kinda dark. Yeah. I was checking out, some of the song titles.

Hang on here. I was logged into our, other account. Let's see if we've got some news. There we go. Didn't have the email pulled up with the full album, details here.

All right. Check out these song titles. I think Volbeat's going evil. We got, the well, the title of the album is god of angels trust. Here's the songs.

Devils are awake, by a monster's hand, which we just heard, acid rain, demonic depression. Look at this song title right here. In the barn of the goat giving birth to Satan spawn in a dying world of doom. Now that is a metal song title. Also, Time Will Heal, Better Be Fueled Than Tamed, At the End of the Sirens, Lonely Fields, and Enlighten the Disorder by a Monster's Hand part two.

So again, that album, God of Angels Trust dropping on June 6. And, that's one of the best Volbeat songs I've heard in a long time. I like the riffage. It's a headbanger. So, yeah, I think I'm gonna, you know, do something nice for Volbeat and play that song the top of every hour today.

So if you're not a Volbeat fan, sorry. Alright. I did it for Ghost yesterday and I don't know we we have the ability to do whatever we want around here you know I don't have some corporate music guy or PD like no you can't have fun on the radio stick to the scheduled playlist Bad day in radio too. Looking like folks working for Odyssey about to have a bad time. As I dig up some news on that, we'll get into it.

I know that a lot of people probably don't care about radio industry news, but it it's important to me. It's the industry I work in, and it's scary when they're laying off hundreds of people yet again. Oh, Odysee is so terrible. The corporate radio groups, Odyssey, Cumulus, especially iHeartMedia. Anyway, good luck to my my friends at Odyssey today.

You don't know how many times over the years I see of mass layoffs and I've got to send a text to a friend be like, are you okay? And then sadly, more often than not, yeah. No. Sorry. They got me.

Yeah. I'm part of this part of this riff as they call it. They don't call it mass firings in radio. They call it a riff, a reduction in force. And then when it gets into the, the radio news, they always say that people exited.

You know? So and so exited their position. Radio always trying to put a happy spin on firing people. If you see somebody's exited their job, they didn't just choose to walk out the door. K?

Otherwise, they get into that in the article like so and so has left to pursue blah blah blah blah blah. No. No. Yeah. He exited.

Yikes. Well, based on the polling results I'm seeing of this poll in the life in Idaho falls group on Facebook, What I'm gonna have to say is not going to be a very popular response here. Somebody asked in the life in Idaho falls group if we should just get rid of the roundabout near Costco, you know the one I'm talking about, and replace it with a four way stop. Please. No.

Okay. Roundabouts, when utilized properly, are so much more efficient than dealing with stop signs and stoplights. K? I have driven through that roundabout countless times. It's near my home.

I have never had any difficulty in that roundabout. I would like to encourage everybody to tune in to traffic school powered by the advocates every Friday morning at 08:45 so you can learn things like how to properly use a roundabout. It's really easy. Here's what you do. You pull up to it.

You look left. If it's clear, go. The end. It is not difficult, but a lot of people seem to have real problems with roundabouts. I don't understand it.

They have proven to be way more efficient in moving traffic through. There's a Mythbusters episode about it. Alright? But 1,500 people responding to this poll in life in Idaho Falls, and a pretty heavy majority seem to think, yeah. Yeah.

No. We gotta get rid of rid of that roundabout. I didn't realize I was in the, minority on this one. K? Roundabouts are not hard to use.

Alright? And if there's other idiots who don't know how to use them, that doesn't mean we need to get rid of something just because some people can't figure it out. Sorry. Sorry. I didn't mean to use the word idiots because maybe you don't know how to use a roundabout.

Look left, clear, go. There it's so easy. So easy. You don't even have to look right. I mean, you should.

You should look both ways because I don't know. There could be some maniac who thinks you need to pull into a roundabout to the left, but, yeah, just look left, clear, go. And these are the type of tips you can learn by checking out Traffic School powered by the advocates every Friday morning at 08:45AM, myself and Lieutenant Crane of the Idaho State Police getting together to let you know the rules of the road. Alright? I'm sorry to any folks I made mad there, but, yeah, I say just replace every intersection with roundabouts.

Make big ones. I don't know. But I I tell you, when I'm on my way home after work each day, there are a number of four way stops that make me wish I had hair I could rip out of my head. Yeah. Can't get a grip on the the the very short hair that I have.

So instead, I just sit there and go, why? Why do I have to sit through this many light cycles to be able to make a left turn? So annoying. Anyway, there's my complaint for the day. Four way stops.

Yeah. I'm against them. I just saw a post online, and I was reading through some of the responses. And I go, great. Now just because currently things don't work that way doesn't mean we can't change things.

Everybody, you know, losing that optimism. Change can happen. The question was, what are your thoughts on candidates passing a civics test before they can run for political office? Alright. We won't get into any specific politics here, but I absolutely think you should have to be able to pass a civics test.

Or how about the naturalization test? You know, if somebody wants to become an American citizen, they have to take a test on all kinds of different things and pass it to be able to become American citizens. How many people do you think in politics can pass that test? Let's take a look at some of these sample questions. You know, what is the supreme law of the land?

What does the constitution do? The idea of self government is in the first three words of the constitution. What are these words? What is an amendment? What do we call the first ten amendments to the constitution?

What is one right or freedom from the first amendment? And so on and so on. I mean, they got like a hundred questions here that they ask people. And since, you know, politicians are elected by a popularity contest, we've talked about it before. There are no political office and not have the ability to read or not be able to do basic, addition and subtraction.

I mean, if you can convince enough people to vote for you, you can be the most ignorant uneducated person on the planet and get one of these jobs. I think that's wrong. I've seen a lot of people posting on social media as well. Hey. You know, if people wanna be able to get government assistance, we should give them drug tests.

Well, I I think we should do that for politicians too. If there's anybody who we should be worried about, you know, potentially being hooked on something like meth, it's the people who are making rules. Alright? The people who are in charge of us. I absolutely think not only should you have to take a civics test to be a politician, but you should be subject to random drug screening just like countless Americans.

Right? What it that shouldn't be controversial at all. I would think that no matter what side you're on, we could all agree that you should have to be able to pass the same test the people who wanna be Americans have to take as well as yeah. Ensure that you're not hooked on cocaine. That's, you know, just my opinion, but I don't think it's that controversial.

Alright. I've said before that I think bagpipes can be really annoying. Now when well done, I'm fine with them. But sometimes they're just an irritating sounding instrument to me personally. And a dropkick Murphys, they know how to use them bagpipes right.

Maybe this kid was really bad at playing bagpipes. This was over in The UK. Some guy woke up in a drunken or not in a, but from a drunken slumber. This was 40 year old Andrew Sturrock. And I guess he heard some kid outside playing the bagpipes.

So he stormed out of his house, ripped the mouthpiece out of the 10 year old kid's mouth, and, threw the bagpipes on the ground. Just threw him to the ground causing 150 pounds worth of damage. Yeah. So kid was all sad. He was all dressed up and everything.

Had the kilt on, and he's just out in the street trying to raise a few bucks doing a little bit of busking. How old was this kid again? Did he say, like, he was, like, 10 or something? Yeah. 10 year old.

Jeez. Now as someone who's woke up feeling miserable before, I know that racket can be annoying. But you know what? It's your fault you woke up feeling that way. Shut the window.

Turn on, I don't know, some Enya, and sit down and shut up. Leave the kids alone even if they are being annoying. Alright? Irresponsible behavior. Alright.

What else do we have here? Dig is coming back. Digg.com. Why? Now if you're not familiar with dig, you're probably a a younger listener or someone newer to the internet.

Back in the day, dig was what they called well, did they call it the front page of the Internet? That's what Reddit calls itself now. Anyhow, Dig was like Reddit before there was Reddit. It was a great website. I loved Dig back in the day.

But then, like so many websites do, one day they decided to just change the entire way the website worked, and it turned into a dumpster fire. It was garbage. Nobody wanted to check the website out anymore, and it went away. And all of the DIG users went to Reddit, I being one of them, because Reddit basically worked like DIG. I didn't like it as much as DIG, but I was like, well, this is the next best thing, I suppose.

Well, Dig's coming back. Why? Sorry, guys. I I mean, perhaps they can somehow take back some of that Reddit share, but I'm I'm doubting it. I'm doubting it.

You know, don't try to fix something that isn't broken. It's like what happened to Myspace. Myspace was awesome. I didn't use Facebook back in the day. I mean, I try to not use Facebook now.

Facebook is one of the worst places to hang out online in 2025. But, Myspace, it was a great fun website. You know, one of the the best social media sites, and they just ruined it for no reason. Why do people try to fix these things that aren't broken? I just don't get it.

Also, another tip for just everyone, not web developers. Don't eat seven pound cheeseburgers. You know, it might sound fun. You might win a t shirt, but you might also end up in the ER because you, you know, got some bloating issues. This guy in Singapore did a, burger challenge.

And then all of a sudden, he realized, oh, my guts hurt. And he went to the hospital. So, yeah, they determined his small intestine was grossly distended with food material. Yeah. He had too much food, and it flattened his pancreas, made him feel miserable.

I won't in I won't get into the, grizzly details of how they made this guy feel better, but, you know, you might be a big fan of that, beard meets food YouTube channel. If you're not a seasoned pro, don't take these food challenges. Alright? And just because the guy with the beard makes it look easy doesn't mean it is. That guy, he makes me so frustrated.

He must do nothing but exercise when he's not making videos because he's all fit and thin. And then you watch him mow down, like, you know, 10 pounds of corn dogs in, you know, ten minutes. You're like, dude, I try to not eat terribly. Shout out to Peaches for bringing me a breakfast burrito, a meat lover's breakfast burrito. I guess I'll, try to eat better later tonight.

But yeah. Seven pound burger, man. You don't wanna be the guy who shows up to the doctor. Your gut's just sticking out. The guy couldn't even fart.

Yeah. Oh, man. Well, you know, that article may have killed my appetite for breakfast burrito. I don't know. Alright.

Let's go ahead and mow into this 08:00 hour, play the new one from Volbeat, and I'll be back with more yapping here in a minute. We got peaches in the house. That's right. You're welcome for the breakfast burrito. Yes.

I did you hear me say thank you on air? Mhmm. I just That's why I'm saying you're welcome. Oh, okay. That makes sense.

So what's happening peaches? Good morning. For the very first time, I have heard someone try to defend daylight saving time in a way that they weren't saying it's essential. They were just saying everyone acts like a kid when it comes to it and that it's just an hour or something like that. And this is Woody from The Woody Show.

I was tuning in to, you know, his podcast just to hear how they still sound and stuff. And sure enough, he has to give in that hot take like, oh, yeah. Everyone can just sleep in an hour more on Sunday and be just fine. And then, Sammy, the logical one on the show, she was she actually is like, she's she's usually the quiet one that sits there. She'll sometimes pitch in, but usually, for the most part, disagree with her ideas.

But this one was perfect. It was talking about how people, you know, they go to church or they have kids, they go to soccer games, they have to adjust, and kids don't know how the time change works or Yeah. Why the time change happens and young or pets too. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

It throws everybody off. And, I mean, for me personally, you know, that spring forward is just brutal Yeah. It's with how early I've gotta get up. You know? And suddenly, next week, 5AM feels like 4AM.

That's that's a tough adjustment. So I I know that, there are worse problems in the world, and I'm guilty of complaining about the time change every single time it happens. Why why does it happen? It used to be for the farmers back in the day. Why Not true.

Does that what Not true. Okay. That's a myth. Never mind. It's a myth.

Never mind. It was actually started by, the Germans during World War two. That that's that's where it began. As a guy who's part German, let's take it away. Yeah.

I mean, there really there really is zero reason for us to keep doing it. Maybe we got a caller with some insight. K Bear, you are live on the program. Keep that in mind. Who's this?

Good morning, Victor. It's Jared. How are you doing? Jared, I'm good. What's on your mind?

Well, the time change thing, and and I'm not I'm not calling to, no, not give you my 2¢ on and everything. Victor, I I might have come into the conversation a little late or something. Now correct me if I'm wrong. I just swore this had been two, three years ago, Victor. You said that we were gonna have one more time change, and then we were quitting the time change thing.

I thought so too. That's what our local government said, but that's how the government works. That's how politicians work. They lie. Oh, okay.

Okay. Remember two weeks to flatten the curve? I did hear you. I did hear you correctly then. It's just the government changed their mind.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, basically, every six months, they come out and say they're gonna try to, either make daylight saving time permanent or do away with daylight saving time, you know, depending on which one we're doing, you know, either implementing or getting rid of it every six months. So I'm sure there are news articles making the rounds right now about how they're gonna, you know, try to make it permanent. But six months from now, we'll be going ahead and setting the clocks back.

So Oh, okay. So you that's that's what you were talking about. You're talking about they were talking about doing away with the the time change. So okay. Oh, yeah.

They talk about it all the time. They talk about it all the time, and then they never do anything about it. You know, and which is funny. I find it really funny because they certainly seem to have no problem just implementing every other crazy thing they wanna do. Like, banning candy?

Uh-huh. Well, they haven't banned candy. Oh, red 40? But, yeah, they can pass any single crazy thing you could possibly imagine as evidenced by the last, you know, six weeks. But when it comes to daylight saving time, magically, they just can't do it.

It doesn't make any sense. Sorry. Well, so so two and a half years or so, I've been alright, man. Victor said that we ain't gonna have to have Based off of yesterday's conversation, Jared, do you get off of off of work before 3PM or after after was it before four? If you're not at work at four, you're a bum and you're a loser.

Yeah. Yeah. So I was just asking Just like me. I'm a loser and a bum because I I'm off work at 3PM every day. I have time to go do whatever I want at 4PM, so I'm a loser.

So not everybody has the exact same work schedule. Yeah. But, apparently, you know Well, see, this is a bigger problem. When businesses are open eight to five and I work eight to five and they're closed on the weekends, I will never go into their business. Yeah.

It it's very aggravating. Yeah. So, you know I agree. Well, right on that You're not a bum you're not a bum loser if you're not at work at four. People work different schedules.

That's what That's what people were saying in the Life in Idaho Falls group. You know, look at these people who aren't at work at 4PM. What a bunch of losers and bums. They need to get a job. It's just because they have a different political opinion, and that's why they're losers.

It depends what you do it. Just like how people yell at me and you for to shut up and play the music when we're saying stuff that goes against what they believe in. Yeah. But we we don't do that too often. You know?

True. But that is the only time people tell us to shut up is if we say something they don't like. Mhmm. So Alright, guys. Well, have a good day, man.

You as well. You as well, Jared. Have a great one. See you, man. Yeah.

Yeah. Later, peaches. Alright. So anyhow, don't forget about the time change coming up on Sunday, and don't forget to enter to win a Nintendo Switch bundle from Brian Gordon Law. I'm gonna take it.

You can take it, Peaches, but give it to a listener. I know you went out, but you bought it with, the company money. I still bought it. I still went to two different stores that Friday. Way to do your job, Peaches.

That's right. Way to do your job. Enter to win in the Kay Bear alt and Cannonball apps. We're giving away a Nintendo Switch with Mario Party Jamboree and a carrying case. We're gonna draw a winner tomorrow.

So if you haven't entered, now is the time. You can enter once per app for the best odds and I'm excited to give that away to somebody tomorrow. Am I gonna print out names and put them in that golden wheel behind us? I think we should do the golden wheel. I think so too.

For Nintendo Switch, I think we should do the golden wheel. And shout out to Brent Gordon Law for helping us with this. So I believe they're park Gordon now. We were trying to figure out their exact name. They they they They changed their name?

We were going through their website yesterday and it was tough to try to figure out why their Facebook wasn't Brent Gordon Law anymore. It was me and Daniel back there trying to figure that all out. Parkgordon.com. Okay. Well, I was unaware of any kind of change there.

So, yeah, maybe we need to, look into that and make sure we're giving him the proper plug. Absolutely. I mean, if you go to parkgordon.com, you still get Brent Gordon Law. Yeah. It's a weird it must be a new change.

I don't know. But Daniel said he'll figure it out. Alright. Cool. Well, for now, it's gonna be Brent Gordon Law.

Get yourself entered to win a Nintendo Switch. We'll be back. Alright. I said some incorrect information about Daylight Saving Time a few minutes ago, and so I wanna correct myself. Shout out to listener Scott for calling and, bringing the subject back up because that got me digging.

And, I think I said that, daylight saving time was implemented by the Germans in World War two. Okay. That that was World War one. Let's talk the history of daylight saving time. Now Scott called to mention that he'd heard that Benjamin Franklin was the first person to push for daylight saving time.

Now according to Wikipedia, Benjamin Franklin suggested shifting your sleep schedule, during the summertime in order to save, you know, I don't know, candle power. You know? So he came up with the idea, but he didn't actually discuss changing the clocks. So, you know, did encourage people to get up earlier, use the morning sunlight to economize on candles. Yeah.

Seriously. But we gotta go we gotta go further down the road to how we ended up at this point that we have to do this garbage every six months. Alright? So the common myth is that it was first implemented for the benefit of farmers. But in reality, farmers have been one of the strongest lobbying groups against Daylight Saving Time since it was first implemented.

So, you know, things like morning dew and, dairy cattle's readiness to be milked are ultimately dictated by the sun. So the clock change introduces unnecessary challenges. Alright. It it's just not necessary. Daylight saving time.

Let's see. First implemented in The US with the standard time act of 1918, a wartime measure for seven months during World War one in the interest of adding more daylight hours to conserve energy resources. But let's go back a few years prior when where where was that here? The first states to adopt daylight saving time nationally were those of the German Empire and its World War one ally, Austria Hungary, in 1916 as a way to conserve coal during wartime. We don't need this, people.

We don't need it. There is no benefit to it. It doesn't help fire farmers. It just pretty much, wrecks people's schedules, screws people up, and, sometimes kills people. So, you know, if like I said, if we can implement these new laws day after day I mean, go look at East Idaho news.

All that we've seen in the news for six weeks is, alright, the state government's gonna put in this new law and this new law and this new law and this little here you go. Here's about the big pile of more new laws. They've been saying for years that they'd make daylight saving time permanent or get rid of it. If they can do all these things I know they could do this why don't they at least it would be one thing that everybody's asking for far as I've seen nobody else is asking for all these other changes why not one that everybody can agree on Anyway, there we go. That's a, you know, jumbled history of daylight saving time, but, yeah, it doesn't help farmers.

It doesn't help anything. It's useless. Put an end to it. When it comes to doing a prank on somebody, you've gotta try to, you know, do a prank that's not gonna end up with a lawsuit. Ain't nobody got money for that in this current economy.

Alright? I was reading this story about this guy. He he got a little bit hammered. Family barbecue. So he, fell asleep in a hammock with his shirt off after a few too many beers, and his brother-in-law thought it would be hilarious to fill up his belly button with super glue.

Now that is hilarious sounding, but I bet it really sucks when you wake up and your hand is glued to the inside of your belly button. So that's, you know, what happened to the guy. Couldn't get his hand detached from his belly button, so he had to go to the ER. And, that bill came back $2,253. Alright?

So if somebody pulled a prank on you that ended up costing you over $2,000, you'd probably be mad. You know? Not only do you have that bill, but you probably, in attempting to rip your finger from your belly button, went through some, you know, unpleasantness. So this guy, he asked his brother-in-law to pay for the medical bill, and the guy's like, right. No.

So So he took him to small claims court. One, because, yeah, if you, you know, pour super glue in somebody's belly button while they're asleep, the courts are probably gonna side with the victim. So the guy won the case, but the brother-in-law still hasn't paid. And now the guy doesn't know what to do. So taking him to court again and suing him, And now the family is all broken apart.

Everyone's mad at each other. And apparently, his wife is siding with the her brother. You know, they think he overreacted. Alright. Trying to imagine here if anyone in my family filled my belly button with super glue, I would think they would be reasonable enough to pay for the medical bills.

You know? Because you you gotta know that super glue can cause some some damage. Anybody who's glued their two fingers together, monkey and with super glue, knows it's pretty heavy heavy duty stuff. And, oh, the inside of your belly button, it sounds like it would be very sensitive. Yeah.

I'm not saying you should test this. How how much does it suck to try to, you know, pull your finger out of your belly button when you've super glued it in there? Oh, sounds vomitous. Well, I'm I'm gonna side with the, victim here. You know?

Nobody got the dough to be forking over $2 in this day and age because of some prank gone awry. You're gonna do that to somebody pay up. All right. Pay up and shame on this guy's family for acting like he's being a you know a jerk for trying to get the medical bills covered Family drama. Glad I'm not dealing with any family drama myself right now.

I hope you aren't either. What old peaches? Nothing much. Nothing much. I I was thinking about all the patches that I bought yesterday for my patch jacket.

I'm just dreaming of band logos. That's right. I was just sitting here pondering. I'm gonna look at the K Bear playlist for my jackets. No.

I I tried buying an electric cowboy patch, but it it said their previous name. And and it was in Germany, and I I don't think they shipped it to the right address. I think it might be still floating around in the mail somewhere. Oh, so you actually did order it, but it's just lost. Yeah.

I think I think it got lost in the mail. Yeah. Well, right now, I would imagine that, imports, you know, coming from other countries are taking longer. This was, like, a long time ago. This was early last year.

Okay. You might wanna, you know, let them know you didn't receive the package, peaches. You might be a little bit too late for a refund. Right. Yeah.

Well, I mean, I guess you could go try to track it down on the other side of the country and maybe get a part time job while you're at it in Scotland. Oh, sure. Yeah. What what what do we have here? Unique job opportunity at Loch Ness for a full time Nessie hunter.

You could hunt the Loch Ness monster for babies. I would have to go in the water. No. Well, you'd be in a boat. You'd be in a boat.

Yeah. What what what happens if we find lock the Loch Ness monster on the boat in the water? I don't know. He's gonna come take the boat down. Maybe, but Nessie might be nice.

You know, could be a friendly monster. This giant manatee that just hugs people. You've never heard of the Loch Ness monster eating people, have you? I haven't. I just heard it's out there.

Has Bigfoot eaten people? Not that I've heard of. I think Bigfoot's friendly too. You see him cry in Red Dead Redemption. That is really sad.

It is sad. He killed out the entire kind. Oh, spoiler. I'm I'm That game is twelve years old. If that's a spoiler, get a grip.

Well, and isn't that in the undead nightmare portion of the game, if I remember right? I think so. Yeah. Yeah. So it's it's not really a spoiler for the actual Red Dead game.

But, yeah, I did that mission and, You feel so bad afterwards. I saw Andy play it and he was like and he shot Bigfoot too. He just didn't care. Oh, geez. He's like, go join him.

Well, Bigfoot might have been better off at that point. You know? You you you've wiped out its entire kind by that moment. So sad. Rock star sadistic people over there.

Dude, sad games are brutal, man. We've talked about sad games recently, and I actually saw a thread pop up what's the saddest game of all time. What do you think the two top games were for the saddest game series of all time? Last of Us? That's one of them.

I'll give you a clue. We already talked about it. And oh, Red Dead Redemption. Red Dead. Yeah.

The last of a series in the Red Dead series, which those are my two probably favorite game series of all time, I guess, as far as the story goes. So So what's up with me? Am I turning emo? Am I turning into Jade Davis here? You're you're an emo video gamer.

I love sad games. I just like to cry. But, yeah, it's a Loch Ness monster job. Sadly, it's only a part well, it's like a six month job or so. It starts on March 31, and then it ends on November 2.

What are the requirements to become the Loch Ness Monster Hunter? And I think it ends November 2 because it they don't wanna go too far into the winter. I guess so. The lake probably freezes up. Probably.

Yeah. Yeah. So That's probably the easiest way to find the Loch Ness monster. He's frozen solid. Well, but see see the whole lake doesn't freeze, Peach.

It's just the top. You know? It gets pretty cold over there. It it does. Let's see.

They pay a salary of 180, you know, euros or pounds per day. I don't know if that's a good wage, but what you gotta do is operate Loch Ness Center's deep scan vessel so you're responsible for the maintenance of this, I'm I'm assuming a boat and the safety equipment, and then you just gotta, I don't know, run the scanner. I mean, they're they're showing a guy. He's an older man. Looks kinda hefty.

He's sitting in a boat staring at a computer. I think that's pretty much what we do here. You know? The the view I'm seeing here is kinda like studio. You got a bunch of computers, and you're sitting in a chair.

So I think you and me are qualified because that's what we do every day. I looked up how deep Loch Ness is. Mhmm. 755 feet. That's pretty deep.

That's the it says deeper than the, the Great Sea. The Great Sea? What's the great Sea? Hold on. The great Deeper than the North Sea.

The North Sea. Yeah. Oh, okay. Okay. Let's see.

Deepest lakes in Idaho. I'm just curious how Loch Ness compares to The deepest lake in the world is Lake Baikal in Siberia, Five Thousand Three Hundred And Eighty Seven feet, a mile deep. Wow. Well, Lake, Ponderoy or Ponderay I I can never remember how you say it because it's spelled P E N D 0 R E I L L E. It should be Pend Oreille, but for whatever reason, they call it something else.

That lake, 1,158 feet deep, the, fifth deepest lake in America. So Loch Ness ain't got nothing on, Coeur D'Alene up there. I think they do, like, submarine testing and stuff like that up there. I wouldn't be surprised if that's one of them UFO underwater bases, like Pend Oreille. The name of that lake annoys me.

Look at Coeur D'Alene. Coeur D'Alene's the same thing. Yeah. When you get Coeur D'Alene. And then when you get here, everyone's like, it's Boise, not Boise.

There's no Z. And it's like every every every other place in the world calls it Boise. Why don't we've got a town north of us called, Haman, H E M A N? That is He Man. Alright?

If I've ever seen the word E M A N? Yeah. He Man. That's He Man. Yeah.

Yeah. But it it's properly pronounced Hayman. No. It's He Man. Isn't it like Lava Hot Springs?

Well, that's what the locals say, but that's just because they're uneducated. Oh. I was gonna say Just play in Lava. You said it, not me. Just play it.

I was about to say Idaho people can't spell. That's why it's key man. I've been threatened in lava before for not being from around here. So you gotta be careful with those lava. See, I I even say lava because I I know.

You say it wrong. Some hillbill you're gonna get on your cape. That's when you do it. Lava hot springs up in in here. Why are you you ain't from around here, are you?

You won't fight. When they say that, you just say, I came from your mother's house. And then they go Oh. And then they don't then then they hear that they hear that around around the bar. I'm so glad it's Thursday.

I mean, I'd be happier if it was Friday, but, man, I am so ready for the weekend. Oh, I gotta go to the dentist today, though. That's kind of a bummer. I mean, it's just a cleaning. Hopefully, they won't find anything weird.

You know? Hey. Looks like you need a a crown. Give us all your money. Could be worse, though.

I could have a dentist like this guy from Florida. I mean, Florida dentist. That just sounds kinda scary. Just those two words put together. Well, anyway, this guy just got two years in prison.

He sent more than 100 threats to 40 different people in retaliation to their political commentary on Facebook. You know, if you're a dentist, I'd assume you're making pretty good dough. It's a pretty good business business to be in. You should probably avoid making death threats on social media to even one person, let alone 40 of them over a hundred times. Yeah.

So he plead guilty to oh, I guess they whittled it down here to four counts of interstate transmission of a threat. Yeah. Two years in jail. He was threatening election officials, authors, TV personalities, religious leaders. He he did, you know, throwing it at everybody.

So like, you know, sometimes you just gotta kick back, do your job, and collect your money. You know? Now he's a Florida man. Shouldn't be a surprise. Anyway yeah.

Hopefully, I don't make my dentist mad. I'm just starting to read about people at Odysee getting fired. Odysee is a terrible radio group. They own stations nationwide. And you've got this competition that seems to be ongoing between I don't know.

I'd say about four radio groups constantly battling to be the worst in the biz. You've got Odyssey. You got iHeartMedia. You got Cumulus, and you got Town Square. Oh, so awful.

Well, anyway, Jade Davis. Come here, Jade Davis. Jade Davis. What up? Did you hear my break yesterday?

Nope. I never listen to a terrible radio show. What? I thought you're supposed to be monitoring. Air check you and tell you how much you suck.

Okay. Well, I I figured this would have been a good break for you to, tell me how much I suck. It was a break about how people who are loyal to their company and stay there for many, many years tend to be making a lot less money than people who pay like, change jobs every two to three years. Mhmm. So I was thinking about it.

You know? I've been here, like, eighteen years. I think you really screwed me over, dude, and I quit. Good. So I'm saying that budget for somebody that can pay less.

I know. That's what radio does. No. It reminded me, of that break from yesterday because I guess Odyssey is laying off two to 300 people today. Oh, lots of lots of openings.

No. They're just doing the same thing. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's a cost cutting measure.

I've seen that little study before, and I think it applies to all the industries except for ours. Yeah. It goes. If you quit your job in radio, then you try and go somewhere else. You're getting a lot less.

Oh, yeah. A lot less. Why do you think I've been here for twenty seven years? Exactly. Like, I've talked about it on air before how people have suggested at times, like, dude, you should check out this job.

You know, you should apply for this job in Chicago. I'm like, Chicago? That's gotta be good money. No. No.

It's the same, but then you have Chicago to deal with. Yeah. And, actually, it was minimum wage. Minimum wage to be an afternoon host in market number three. Gross.

Like, KLOS was hiring a few months ago. Market number two, biggest rock station in California. And, they were paying $70 for the afternoon drive show. Is that part of the evil empire? That's Odyssey.

So Important part. No. No. No. No.

Excuse me. KLOS is, Morello Media. So they're they're more independent. Okay. Still cheap like all radio Oh, yeah.

Radio companies. But yeah, dude. But we get all those free perks. Like what? Listen to music before it comes out with everyone else.

Dude, some guy. I I posted, a, reaction video to the new Ghost video yesterday. Mhmm. And I mentioned in that video that I had heard this song about a month ago. And some guys all, look at me.

I heard the song a month ago. I'm like, I was just being honest. It wasn't like a a brag. Maybe it came across that way. Well, you are kind of a troll.

So But I'm nice when it comes to, my own posts. Though I did, launch a little bit of a troll on Facebook today about daylight saving time. You know? That one needs to go away. Well, dude, they've been telling us for years they're gonna do it, and then they always come up with some excuse as to why they can't.

I I did, see was it last week that the senate actually pushed it through? Now we just need the other part of the Yeah. The cronies on the hill to do it. Let's see. This was, Idaho or No.

At Nashville? National, I thought. Oh, okay. Okay. I'm I'm just, bashing Idaho politicians here because they've said for years they're gonna do this, and then they always come up with an excuse as to why they can't.

Based on the last six weeks, I know they can. Alright? If you can do everything under the sun, you can go ahead and make daylight saving time permanent. Guarantee. Yeah.

I am not looking forward to this weekend. Ugh. I hate the the spring forward. It's so brutal. I like our make the switch with Brent Gordon Law.

That's that's pretty cool. That's the only good thing. Daylight saving, we're gonna have to find something else to team up with Brent Gordon Law with. Okay. Well, we'll just, you know, get a Nintendo Switch and call it give it away a Nintendo Switch because video games rule.

I don't know. Daylight saving time is gone. Yeah. In celebration of no more daylight saving time, we are going to give away a Nintendo Switch. By the way, on that front, you need to get entered to win by tomorrow if you wanna win that Nintendo Switch bundle.

So, fire up any of our apps, k Bear, Cannonball, or alt, and enter once per app for the best odds to win. If you enter more than once on each app, we just throw your extra entries right in the garbage. Unless you really like wasting your time and ours. Which I think some people do. Not mine.

I'm not I'm not gonna be sifting through that. Yeah. It's peaches time. Yeah. Which, it's kind of fun to waste peaches time.

Return the favor. So one of my first jobs was at David's phone center in Pocatello doing surveys. I'm sure a number of you listeners worked at David's phone center or a similar place in the past doing surveys, and it was really interesting because back then we did, radio surveys. It was one of the first times I discovered how radio stations decide what music to play, and it's one of the dumbest ways to try to determine what a hit song is. Here's how it worked.

So we'd call people. You managed to get them to stay on the phone. And then we would play clips of songs, not even full songs, but just, you know, the the chorus of a song over the phone. Have you ever had somebody play you music over the phone? It sounds terrible because phones are super low bit rate.

They they're just garbage. And this was like twenty five years ago. Alright? I know I'm old. I'm wretched old at, 42.

But anyhow, I was thinking back on this because I was reading about a study that was recently done, and I cannot imagine being the person who's making these phone calls. Number one, it's tough to get people to stay on the phone to do a survey. K? You know, anytime somebody calls me and they're doing a survey, I do the survey because I know what it's like to do that job. But I wish we would've had fun ones like this.

Here's the headline. Percentage of people who pee in the shower leaked in new study. They surveyed 2,000 people. Can you imagine being on the phone there? Hello.

Would you like to take a survey? Sure. Alright. How often do you pee in the shower? How did they manage to get through the entire study without people hanging up right then?

Plenty of people were willing to respond. Oh, you wanna know how many? Of course. Well, 12% of the American population daily, every single day. You know, it's like the people who every single day they come into work and camp in the bathroom for thirty minutes and you're like, you know, why why don't you do that at home?

You're at your house. I don't know. Maybe it's a water saving measure. Right? I mean, there's worse you could do in the shower but yeah twelve percent of people and that's one quarter of millennials k one in four millennials every single day in the shower.

Again, I think I have heard that this can help conserve water, so I ain't judging. And I no. I refuse to, give my own stats out. K? 12% a few times a week.

And, I guess gen x and baby boomers, not as much. It's a millennial thing. Obviously, I guess more dudes than, than women engage in this behavior. Why is this a news story? This is really important information.

Somebody got paid to call people and ask them if they pee in the shower. I kinda miss the survey jobs. You know, now that I see some of the stupid surveys they do in 2025, are there still survey jobs around here? There were much worse jobs I worked over the years. You know, doing outbound call work is rough, but if you're not selling anything, surveys ain't too bad.

People generally don't get too mad at you. I bet nowadays it really sucks though because, you know, all the robocalls and auto warranty this and that. I'm sure it's way hard to get people to stay on the phone now for a survey. So do me a favor and if somebody calls you from a, you know, strange number, answer it. If they're doing, you know, auto warranty, just hang up.

But if they're doing a survey, you should take the survey. Alright? Help them out. They might get extra pay because you asked a few or answered a few questions. And depending on the type of survey, you could help brainwash the population with the survey results when the news starts spouting off about them.

We need more people than the boomers to answer the phones and take surveys. So, yeah, there you go. It's my important research study of the day. You're welcome. Ending the show on a positive note, wanted to talk about a new business opening in Idaho Falls or open in Idaho Falls that I read about on eastIdahonews.com in their biz buzz section under features.

It's a new store for kids or at least kids stuff where you can buy, sell, and trade items. Mackenzie Johnson grew up in her parents' consignment store, so it's only natural she would own one of her own one day. According to the article here, you may have heard of Uptown Cheapskate. Yeah. Her parents opened that business, I don't know how long ago, but, in Murray, Utah, as you may know, we have one around here.

Got one in Ammon. She didn't say whether her parents own that or not. Okay. Well, anyway, we still it it it's beside the point. The point is they got the new store opened up, which is called kid to kid cash for kids stuff.

And, it's over in Teton Village in Idaho Falls. So if you got children, you should, pop in and check it out. Find yourself some sweet deals on toys, books, clothes, all kinds of good stuff. And, I think this is pretty cool. You know, things have gotten to be very expensive.

So as a guy who did everything I could to build my home back up in the last year and a half, I did a lot of, thrift store shopping. And if I could replace things from, you know, items I found at the thrift store with items I found at the thrift store, that was always great because as we all know, everything has gotten to be completely outrageous. So, they're open Monday through Saturday, 9AM to 8PM. Sunday hours coming soon. Again, in the, Teton Village Plaza in Idaho Falls, it's called Kid two Kid.

You can Google it up to find more information, but I think this is pretty cool. Pretty cool. It's the second location in the state. First one actually opened at Boise, quite a long time ago, 02/2004. So pretty cool.

Pretty cool. All right. I'm gonna leave now. Peaches and I will be back for the noon hour of madness mayhem here in a couple hours. Hope your morning's been great.

Thank you as always for listening to the show. I hope you know how much that means to me. I truly do appreciate everybody who listens to this program. So thank you. Have a great rest of your morning.

We'll see you in a bit. 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.
