The Viktor Wilt Show

Morning. Welcome to the program. It's the Viktor Wilt Show. Sadly, Monday, but that's alright. We're gonna knock it down quick style, and hopefully, it'll be fun.

I don't know. So far as I dig through the content pile for the day, I'm like, I'm I don't wanna be reminded of this. Don't worry. Nothing too horrible yet unless you're like me and maybe you've packed on a few pounds during the winter months. It happens.

You know? Winter months are rough. Just need to get a little bit of that motivation going on or something. But, anyway, I was looking at a thread called people who are thin, how do you have the ability not to overeat? And I have a feeling based on the couple of responses to this I'm gonna read or that I have read that, I'm gonna get a little bit frustrated by this.

Now it's not because I think things are unfair. It's just the way that everyone's brains work, and people's brains work very differently. Like, the top response to this is because I think the feeling of being stuffed or incredibly full is one of the most uncomfortable fillings in the world for me personally. I hate it. I'm tired.

I'm sluggish. I feel bloated. It's awful. And, this person said they have, like, 500 messages saying the same thing. Do you know how much it would take for me to eat to feel, like, uncomfortably full?

I gotta, like, seriously go to town. Alright? I can unfortunately eat a lot, way more than I need to before I'm I mean, I'm trying to remember the last time I got uncomfortably full. It takes just tons. I'm, super jealous of anybody who, I don't know, can get to that point very quickly.

That that's wild to me. Like, this person says would say the less I eat, the less hungry I feel. And, again, how would it be if you could just have a few bites and you're like, alright. I'm good. This person does make me mad.

I just don't eat when I'm not hungry. Okay. I only eat when I'm I mean, I'm sure there are people out there that deal with food addiction and things like that that perhaps you are eating when you're not hungry. But I only eat when I'm hungry, and I still manage to pack it on. Yeah?

How would it be? Now this person says my stomach is messed up. I've had gastritis for about twelve years with no apparent cause or solution, so I'm just in pain always. It's awful. You know, even in the midst of all the stomach issues I've had, the desire to eat doesn't go away.

Like, maybe this will make my stomach feel better to mow down some pizza. Oh, jeez. Yeah. How would how would it be? How would it be?

I think it's an inertia thing. When you get into the habit of eating little, it becomes more difficult to overeat. And when you overeat, it becomes hard to eat little. Maybe that's it. Maybe I need to force myself to have smaller portions.

No. I I think everybody's just a little bit different. Because again, to to try to understand the perspective of these folks commenting. I don't know. It's very difficult because, my brain works in a different way.

This person says depression and anxiety. Well, for some of us, depression and anxiety is like, oh, I guess I better have a couple cheeseburgers. So anyway, just wanna let you know if, you know, you got super thin friends like Jade Davis, for example. You know, we it's kinda rude, but we make fun of him. Nobody cares if you make fun of skinny people.

You know I I've called jade a skeleton for years never got a complaint all right you know if you got friends that are like that I could watch jade mow down a whole pizza he ain't gonna pack on the pounds everybody's a little bit different when it comes to what what's the word I'm looking for here? You know what I'm talking about? Oh, it's right on the tip of my tongue. It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.

He can, you know, just process food differently. I'm I'm so mad that I can't think of a stupid word. Breakover, people. Lot going on, at least seemingly, in the world of the band Ghost. They've been teasing something for a while.

You know, what's funny is, you know, being in the biz I'm in, I tend to be privy to a lot of the game plans for certain artists. I might know what's going on with Ghost. But as a responsible, you know, radio host and insider, I would not say jump online and spill the beans. Now it is fun to kick back and read through everybody's thoughts in places like the ghost subreddit, see the speculation, you You know, see what people are guessing. I'd love to say more, but, again, I'm responsible.

And, I'm not gonna come out and say things. But it is interesting when you're scrolling through comments, and you're like, oh, there's somebody who knows what they're talking about. And you go, oh, yeah. That person should probably shut their mouth. You know, they're gonna I don't know.

It I feel like I'm privileged at times to get some inside info. And And when you see people, like, spilling the beans, somebody who actually knows what they're talking about, you know that somebody who's being trusted by the label or band management with this information, and they just seem like such turds for coming out and, spilling the beans. Well, anyway, another thing that I found funny as I, scroll through the ghost subreddit is ghost fans who are still not wanting to, you know, face reality and accept the fact that the members of the band are just normal people. I still see people, like, editing Tobias Forge's name. You don't need to do that anymore.

There was a post on there earlier today where somebody was like, hey. You know, is it too late? I don't wanna come across as a gatekeeper because I'm not. I get that it's been public knowledge well before even the Prokel era. Yeah.

Who the front man of Ghostfizz has been public knowledge for a long time. But I always like the mystique of the band when everybody agreed to keep the identities obscure and keep the illusion up. I I hate to break it to you. User, that's a gross username. Curly toenail.

Alright. Anyway, you can go ahead and pretend you don't know, but you can't expect after this many years of everybody knowing who the front man of ghost is, he does I've interviewed him as Tobias Forge. There are photos of him all over the Internet all the time. You can't expect people to just pretend that this isn't common knowledge. Alright?

You're gonna have to avoid the Internet if you want to keep up the illusion of this band where all the identities are unknown and things like that. You know, like, it'll happen eventually for any masked band. It happened with Slipknot back in the day. Nobody knew who was in Slipknot. Over time, this information comes out.

It'll happen with Sleep Token too. That's another band that needs to put out some new stuff. Anyway, all I can say with my insider info on I mean, we we don't even need to talk about those two bands because maybe I do, maybe I don't have insider info. But I hear about lots of bands all the time, and all I can say is that, 2025 is shaping up to be a great year for new music. Very excited.

Now we just need to get more shows right here in East Idaho. Dang it. We do have that one awesome show that's been announced, dropkick Murphy's and bad religion at the Port And Fel Trust Amphitheater, but we need more. We need more. You know, I'm happy to see that there are so many shows booked for the upcoming season, but I think we got a little bit too much country going on.

K. What do we have? Like, 10 country shows? One rock show? Come on.

Come on, promoters. Let's turn that around. So I'm sure you won't be surprised to hear that over the weekend, I played a little bit of video games. It was, of course, Red Dead part two. Hey.

I beat the gambler challenges number eight, nine, and 10. And if you're a Red Dead hardcore player, you know what I'm talking about. Do you know how aggravating those particular challenges are? I was very stoked to have knocked them down pretty quickly. Really, I'm a Red Dead pro.

Well, if you, you know, didn't get to spend your weekend playing a lot of video games, mayhaps it's because you need a new video gaming system. You need a Nintendo Switch for free, and we're given one away with our friends at Brent Gordon Law to make the switch. Ugh. When is the time change? Or is it a spring forward when we lose the hour?

Yeah. Let's find out here. Daylight saving time. Alright. Is it this coming weekend?

Yes. This coming weekend. Well, anyway, we're trying to make it better by giving away a Nintendo Switch. You have until Friday to get signed up in the k Bear, alt, or Cannonball apps. Now the Nintendo Switch we're giving away, we also threw in a copy of the new Mario Party game, Mario Party Jamboree, as well as a carrying case so you can take your Switch wherever you go.

But the only way to get a free Switch is to try to win it. So fire up any of our apps, fill out the form, and if you're lucky, Friday, we'll be calling you, letting you know you get to kick your weekend off with a brand new Nintendo Switch Mario Party jamboree and a case, a nice Nintendo Switch bundle with make the switch with Brent Gordon Law. Good luck. Mentioned sleep token earlier, so I had to hear a little bit of it. Hope that was fine by you.

What up? It's Victor Wilt. Morning. And happy Monday. Hopefully, you're feeling happy, in a good mood, ready for a full week ahead.

Yay. So Friday, I made the mistake of making an opinionated post on social media on my Facebook page. Now it was sort of vague, but everyone was pretty much able to determine what I was, you know, talking about. And I always hope we can have a reasonable discussion about things, but, no, not in 2025. Holy cow.

So, you know, I made this post and I'm kinda watching it here and there. And then I kinda checked out for a minute. I'm like, alright. People are, you know, just gonna argue with me a little bit. I'll catch up on this later.

Well, Friday afternoon, yeah, I fire it back up, the old Facebook app, and people are just going insane. People are fighting with each other. It's gotten very hostile. So I had to delete it. I just had to delete it.

I got tired of moderating it. I stand by, you know, what I had to say. But it just wasn't worth it. It sucks because I feel like I caved to the mob, you know. I caved to the mob by deleting the post.

But it was just, you know, I didn't wanna see a million notifications. And the problem wasn't that people were engaged in discussion. You know, I'm down for that. It was the, the hostility going back and forth where, yeah, I I wouldn't wanna make a post that results in, I don't know, people getting that hostile with each other, I guess, to keep it kind of, basic here. But holy cow.

Yeah. I think I'm just gonna get back to being checked out from social media. You know, we're at the point where, I don't think discussions can be had at this point. No. People are just too crazy about everything.

So, yeah, if you were wondering because I had a few people message me like, hey. What happened to that post? Like, so sorry. I just got sick of dealing with it because there were certain comments made that are like, yeah. I don't need that on my, profile.

Alright. I don't need, my profile getting flagged or, I don't know, a phone call or something because people are getting just so completely insane. So, yeah, just wanted to let those those of you who were wondering know, yes, I did delete that. And not because I was directed to or anything like that. I just got sick of the mayhem.

So I guess it's back to nothing but, posting pictures of kittens if I post at all. Now I'm starting to get why a lot of people that I know have, completely checked out from social media. I gotta stay in there because of my job, and I need to find content, but it's just unfortunate that society's at a point where we can't talk to each other. Should be able to debate things, but no. Yep.

So, no. Anyway, that's gone now. And, much as I do like to, poke the bear, get people a little bit crazy, I just don't have the mental patience for it. Not at this point in time. Don't worry.

You know me. I I'll eventually turn that around and be back to aggravating people, but, well, maybe once they, cool off a bit, which well, I'm hoping so. Not looking good on that front, though. Well, I keep seeing rumors that bring me the horizon right there. We'll be announcing a tour very soon.

I hope so. Headlining tour in The US? That would be great. Let me quickly check Google News since we're, you know, a little after the top of the 07:00 hour. Well, just teasing.

Still the latest in the news. Teasing a US arena tour. Boy, wouldn't it be great if, that band came here? We have an arena. Anyway, what what was I gonna talk about here?

We don't need to sit around and speculate. Not yet. No. They are, rumored to be hitting, the Maverick Center according to an article from Kerrang. So that's pretty cool.

Alright. Anyway, back to what I was going to talk about, adult problems that nobody prepared you to deal with. Okay. If I had to think of some adult problems nobody prepared you to deal with, let's talk about, first off, money. Yeah.

You know, when you're back in high school, how much do they teach you about investing for your retirement? Well, when I was in school, that was, 0% of my education. Would have been nice to know, which is why I've always told my kids. Hey. I know you might be, like, not even 20 years old yet, and you don't wanna even fathom the idea of retirement, but start putting money into retirement because holy cow.

If I had started twenty some odd years ago, who knows how much money I would have just sitting there waiting so I could, you know, kick back. Anyway, let's see what the Internet says are adult problems nobody prepared you to deal with. You know, another one before I get into these that came to mind is just the fact that you're never really gonna feel like a grown up inside of your head. You'll know you are. You're like, oh, jeez.

I'm 42 years old. I've got all these bills. I've, you know, got the the mortgage blah blah blah. I don't feel that different than I did in my twenties as far as inside of my head goes. Yeah.

You you would think when you're younger, like, oh, you know, there's gonna be some kind of a switch that flips when I hit, I don't know, 30. No. It doesn't happen. Doesn't happen. Alright.

Let's see what the Internet says are adult problems no one prepared you to deal with. If you don't care for yourself, no one else will. That's very true, especially if you end up living by yourself as an adult. That's a, that's a good wake up call for sure. Like, oh, it's all on me now.

Okay. Let's, let's get her done. Let's see. The internet says the mean girls in high school grow up to be mean adult women. I would say the, jerk guys in high school also grow up to be jerk guys as well.

Don't just throw it at the ladies here, Reddit. K? Yeah. You know the old saying about, you know, people never change or no. You can't make people change.

Chances are well, I I shouldn't say that. People can change. But if someone's a total piece of crap, it pretty hard for somebody who's a total piece of crap to stop being a total piece of crap. K? People can learn and get better and all that.

I'm not trying to say it's not possible. But, you know, if somebody's treating you awful, you should probably get rid of them while you're younger. Alright? Friends or relationships or whatever. Because eventually, it's gonna come to a head.

Let's see here. Everything is so constant that it's exhausting. That is a definite fact of being an adult. It does feel like life starts to just pummel you sometimes. You know, just take it one day at a time.

Have some breathers. It always like, you know, the old roller coaster, it gets better, then there's some bad, then it gets better. Life is a roller coaster. It's a ride, as Bill Hicks said. Let's see here.

Making friends? Yeah. I don't know. I mean, you can make new friends as an adult. I don't know.

To me, it doesn't seem any different than when I was a kid, I guess. You know, there there are way fewer people that I will confide in as an adult. You know, you kinda whittle down your friends to, you know, the ones you can really trust and, you know, a handful that you still feel close to. But, yeah. I don't know.

I think if you put yourself out there, if you don't just, hide in your home, you can make new friends, but you gotta be willing to talk to people. And, things have gotten a little bit weird in this day and age because people live on social media and, trying to make friends on social media, and that's kinda difficult. You're not really getting to know a person on social media. You have to talk to them at at bare minimum, like, over the phone, but even better meet them in person because, you know, the way people present themselves on social media, not not real, not accurate. Yeah.

Let's see here. Alright. This person, apparently, their driver's ed class didn't teach them very well. Registering your vehicles every year, that was a big surprise to people. Hate to break it to you.

There's gonna be a lot of crap you have to pay for every year, and it's aggravating. But it's just the way it is. Alright. Let's see here. I I actually don't wanna think about being an adult right now.

It's Monday morning. Much rather, be thinking about being a slacker and, you know, taking a Monday off. I guess I was not paying attention yesterday, but the Academy Awards happened. Always a good way to find some new entertainment. You know, generally, from my experience, best picture each year turns out to be a pretty good movie.

So even if you've never heard of these films, you might wanna go check them out. Winner of best picture at the Academy Awards last night, a movie I had not even heard of. Maybe I heard of the title, but I don't know anything about it. A movie called Anora. And I'm looking at a photo from the movie here.

They are on Fremont Street in Las Vegas outside of the golden nugget. Got the big screen over the top of the street there. I've got a lot of stories from that location. Yeah. Guess I might have to check out Anora.

I mean, if it's the winner of the best picture, it's gotta be a pretty good movie. Some of the others that were up for the award include The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, recently watched Conclave. It was really good. Dune part two, which I thought was fantastic. Dune part two, I believe, won the Academy Award for best sound, which when I saw it in the theater, with my lady in Connecticut, it was pretty impressive sound wise.

I actually was paying attention to how the sound filled up the room so I could adjust my surround sound at home. I mean, it pretty hard to get your surround sound at home to sound just like a movie theater, but, it helped out seeing Dune part two. Some of the other nominees, Emilia Perez, I'm Still Here, Nickel Boys, The Substance, which, I think won the Academy Award for best makeup, which it deserved. Really cool horror movie if you haven't checked that out. And then Wicked.

But the winner was Onora, So gonna have to check that out. Adrien Brody won for the brutalist. The brutalist in a '24 movie, so a '24 movie's always on the list of movies I need to check out. What else do we have here? Best actress in a leading role, Mikey Madison for Onora.

Onora must have been pretty good. I don't wanna go through every one of these academy awards here, but on Onora won a bunch of awards. Best actor in a supporting role was Kieran Culkin for a real pain. I've heard of that movie, but don't know a lot about it. Best director, Sean Baker for Onora.

Cinematography, the brutalist. Well, I'm gonna have to check out the brutalist and Anora, apparently. Also, I keep seeing this movie pop up on I wanna say Max. Best animated film, Flow. Now this is getting my attention because it's got a picture of a black cat.

Alright? So, you know, when I see it pop up on streaming, I'm like, oh, look at that cartoon about a black cat. Well, it must be pretty good too. It, beat out Inside Out two, Memoir of a Snail, Wallace and Wallace and Gromit is still around, and a movie called The Wild Robot. So yeah.

Gonna have to, check that one out one of these days. I actually saw a fellow horror fan on my Facebook feed, a guy named Jeff Burke. He, well, anyway, he was posting about the movie flow, and he's like a a horror guy, like, hardcore horror guy. So it must be pretty good. So, anyway, you can check out the full list of academy award winners on the Internet.

Dune two winning best visual effects. It was pretty sweet. I need to watch Dune two again. Need to do the old double feature, Dune one and two. They're working on part three.

Pretty cool. Alright. We'll be back in a few with freak news and more. Don't go anywhere. Alright.

Freak news every weekday morning. At about this time, let's dive in and take a trip to Aberdeen, not Aberdeen, Idaho. Though if this amusement park was in Aberdeen, I'd probably be hitting the road there right as we speak. Now Aberdeen in The UK, they've got this what they're calling a nightmare of an amusement park. I don't know.

I think it looks awesome. It's a park called The Den In The Glen, and they've got statues of favorite characters like, Cinderella, Barney, the dinosaur, Peppa pig, the Teletubbies. And, I guess people who have shown up to take their children to this amusement park have walked away saying, you know, this is pretty much like taking my kids to a horror movie. Again, this place looks amazing. I'm looking at a statue of Shrek with his eyes bulging out of his head.

It's definitely nightmare fuel. I love it. I've been to one amusement park that kind of reminded me of this. It's in Oregon. I believe it's called the Enchanted Forest, if I remember correct.

I think it's between Corvallis and Portland. I wanna say it's in, like, Salem or, or something. Anyway, the Enchanted Forest. We took the kids there back when they were little and this place was crazy. It was crazy.

It was an awesome amusement park because it's in the middle of the woods, you know, the Pacific Northwest, Cascadia Mountain Range woods. And, they've got all of these. I I don't know how to describe them other than twisted, displays kinda like this. And I actually used a variety of photos I took at the Enchanted Forest for weird band album art and promotional materials for my band back in the day because it was just so so creepy and crazy. I loved it.

Is that place still open? The Enchanted Forest? Seems like now I'm remembering that they, like, closed it down or something. Alright. The enchanted forest.

Alright. They've got a website, enchantedforest.com. Oh, reopening March 22. So they're still open. That's great.

Okay. It it is in Salem, Oregon. Alright. Seriously, if you're road tripping it and you got kids, take them to the Enchanted Forest. Oh, funny.

It shows up under Portland ghost tours as well. So it must be haunted. Okay. Maybe we'll dig into the, the hauntings of the Enchanted Forest here in a few. Anyway, I'm down to go check out anything weird.

So if I ever make my way to The UK I don't know. Is it weird if I you know, just like a lone adult? Alright. I gotta go check out this weird amusement park. Yeah.

You might you might appear like a weirdo if you do that. What else do we have here? Oh, you know, don't drive drunk. It's terrible idea. K?

It's against the law. You could, kill yourself or other people, and you certainly shouldn't be FaceTiming people while you're driving around hammered. This guy in La Porte, Indiana, I mean, he was way hammered. He was at, like, point two seven. And, he's lucky he didn't get killed by a train.

He was FaceTiming with his girlfriend while driving around at 2AM all hammered, and I guess she took her shirt off, and he got very distracted by this. So he, apparently drove up on the rails of a train crossing and couldn't get his vehicle off the tracks, just narrowly escaped being in the vehicle when it was smashed by a train. The girlfriend showed up to pick him up and, you know, the cops were also on their way as well because a train conductor who just smashes into a car is going to call the authorities. So they pulled the the vehicle over and, yeah, he's in the passenger seat. Blows a point two seven.

Yeah, dudes. If you're gonna FaceTime your lady, do do that from a safe location. K? Stay home and drink beer and have her, well, anyway, I don't need to get into further details. Right?

If you were distracted enough by such things that you'd risk getting hit by a train, you probably, shouldn't be allowed. I mean, you shouldn't use your phone to FaceTime while driving anyway, regardless of what you're being shown. Drinking and driving, using your phone while driving, all bad ideas. Alright? But he lived, so hopefully, he learned his lesson.

Doubt it. All right. We'll get into some more stupid news throughout the program. As I was digging through information about the enchanted forest in Salem, Oregon, Found a big article about how it's haunted and figured we'd dive in. This is a great road trip.

I'm telling you. I mean, going to that area of Oregon is always great because it's so beautiful. I've said it many times on this show. If I could move anywhere, I think it would be Corvallis, Oregon, which is right near Salem. That's how we ended up at the Enchanted Forest.

Yeah. And you gotta say it that way. The Enchanted Forest. It's scary, apparently. I don't know.

People believe it's haunted. Over the years, stories have circulated that the Enchanted Forest is haunted by various entities who used to reside on the land. So back in the nineteen thirties, this guy named Roger Tofti, he was a native of Wisconsin, ended up in Salem, Oregon, and, you know, he wanted to do something creative and fun for his family. So he bought 20 acres of land for $4. Yeah.

Wouldn't it wouldn't it have been nice to, live in the sixties? Mhmm. 20 acres in that beautiful area of Oregon, four grand. Well, anyway, started building the Enchanted Forest. All his friends thought he was wasting his time.

They referred to the Enchanted Forest as Idiot Hill. You know, got some great friends, mister Roger Tofty, doesn't he? You got this dream and your friends are all, here he is out working on Idiot Hill. Well, anyway, he completed the Enchanted Forest, opened it in 1971. And, then the stories of the hauntings began.

I guess it, sits near the site of the Conflict of Battle Creek, which was some type of a deadly battle, between settlers and Native Americans in the eighteen hundreds. And so people started seeing all kinds of, you know, crazy lights and hearing disembodied voices and kids claiming they were transported to some sort of parallel parallel dimension. Now if you've ever been to the Enchanted Forest, walking into it is like being transported to a parallel dimension. So I think these kids were just mistaken. They'd simply went to the enchanted forest and were like, what is going on here?

Because it's so weird. It's so weird. I guess, on season twenty of Ghost Adventures, I'm gonna have to watch this, because I haven't really watched much Ghost Adventures. You'd think with the stupid trash programming I enjoy watching that I would have checked out Ghost Adventures. But, anyway, season twenty of Ghost Adventures, the crew went to the Enchanted Forest, and he got, like, Zach Bagans who you know, he runs that haunted museum in Vegas I've talked about.

Yeah. They did, audio and video footage and, you know, heard some weird voices. And one of the guys on the crew was like, I felt a big burst of energy shoot through me while working the ride. Jade, I found a great place for you to take your kids on vacation. I've been there before, the Enchanted Forest.

Yeah. They don't deserve a vacation. Oh, okay. Never mind. Sorry, kids.

Maybe if you're good, you could go to this twisted amusement park. That's right. It could be a punishment depending on how easily they're scared. Dax is a little bit Roman. He he's in love with that type of stuff.

Okay. Then he'd have a great time. I mean, when I took my kids to this place, we just happened to stop because it was something to do and I'm like, this is the craziest place I've ever seen. It was awesome. You would love it, Jade, just because it's weird.

But, yeah. Rumored to be haunted. And so I figure if you have bad kids or good kids, it can work out either way. You just have to present it, you know, depending on their behavior when you walk in. Okay.

We're taking you somewhere that's haunted. And, children have said they've been transported to parallel dimensions here. You better be good. They had one of those amazing walk through haunted houses. Yeah.

Terrified my children. Scared the crap out of them. So you took it through you took them through twice. Right? Oh, I tried to because I thought it was awesome.

I was like, that's great. Usually, the haunted houses at amusement parks are all boring like the ones at Lagoon. You get in a little cart. It's all hokey. Yep.

You know, old crappy animatronics that have been there since they built the ride. Yeah. This one was creepy and old, but no carts. You just gotta get yourself out of there. It was great.

Very nice. Well, I assume you're coming by to give me some work to do. So Pretty much. Alright. Well, everybody, I gotta go and do all the things Jade wants me to do.

Alright. Bye bye. Alright. Let's talk about some advancements in medical technology. This one's weird.

Alright. You've got this guy in Canada. He's blind, and he just underwent Canada's First ever tooth in eye surgery to try to restore this man's sight. Tooth in eye. You heard that correct.

I'm I've never heard of anything even remotely close to this. It's a procedure called osteodontokeratoprosthesis. Oh, I almost said it right. Almost said it right. I think osteodontoparotoprosthesis.

They use a tooth. They take one of your teeth and use it to create a support structure for an artificial cornea. So, you know, first, they take one of the teeth. They shave it down into a rectangle, drill a hole in it, and pop an optical lens inside, and then they figure out some way to, like, connect it to the eyeball or something. I don't know.

But, they take the top layer of the eye surface, replace it with a soft tissue graft from inside of the cheek, and then that takes a few months to heal so it can support the tooth eye implant. And I don't know. Anyway, they seem to be optimistic that this is going to help restore the sight in this guy's eye. I'm looking at a picture here of the tooth with the optical lens in it. I mean, it looks kind of gross, but, I guess it can work for some people.

So I don't know. Can you imagine being the first person? Alright, dude. We got this idea. We're gonna just shave down your tooth into a rectangle, and we're gonna implant it in your eye, and you're gonna be good to go.

Be like, dude, I I saw the substance. I don't know about these newfangled metal medical technologies. I don't want to be the guy whose eye becomes a mouth. You know? I mean, I'm sure you've seen some horror movies and such where somebody's got teeth for eyes.

What was that? The sand band with the guy with eyes for teeth? Alrighty. Teeth for eyes. Anyway, I'm all down for medical advancement, so so weird as it might be if it works, well, fantastic.

So you were showing me a picture on your phone. This is I guess we could call it a meme where you're on an airplane and you have to decide what seat on the airplane you wanna sit in, and it's gonna put you next to some kind of country music artist. Yeah. You're stuck on a ten hour flight. Where are you sitting in the very first section?

Laney Wilson, open seat, Morgan Wallen. Then you got your favorite row, Jason Aldean, empty seat. I don't know who this guy is, number the guy sitting next to you. Oh, that's, he's he's next to Jason Aldean? He's you're between the two.

Yeah. What what's the name of the guy? Jason Isabel. Oh, two Jasons. Yes.

Stuck between two Jasons. So you're a terrible podcast. Next to Jason Isabelle, but I would not wanna sit by Jason Aldean. But who's the guy to the left of Beyonce in row three here? I think that's, The Travis Tritt.

Travis Tritt? Yeah. I don't know who this person is next to Jelly Roll. I can't tell either. It's, you know, it's a woman, but the photo's kinda small.

I can't really see her face. Yeah. Then you got Post Malone in who? I I don't know who that lady is. I don't know who that lady is either.

That might be one of the Dixie Chicks. Then you had Tyler Childers and some other guy that looks like, Limp Bizkit. Yeah. I can't tell who's on the left there because, like, Tyler Childers would be cool to sit by. Right.

What a weird line if you think they'd put you with, like, Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson. I wanna be in the weird road near the back. Willie Nelson and Kane Brown between those two. What the what kind of a lineup is that? I know that's gonna smell weird.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, dude. And then Garth Brooks by himself. There's two seats around him.

Okay. Yeah. I I think I that that'd be a tough one. Willie Nelson would probably be the most interesting conversation. Oh, yeah.

90 years old has all these stories. He's a legend. Yeah. Alright. Well, Peaches and I, we, are gonna take a break, and we'll be back in just a few.

You know what sounds miserable to me? Golfing in Arizona. It just does not sound great. Now I love Arizona, but there are, like, a handful of months out of the year that golfing's gonna be great. You know, they're kind of the exact opposite of us in Phoenix.

They have, like, five or so months that it's just miserable hot. So awful you don't wanna go outside. Where here, we have five months of miserable cold where you just don't wanna go outside. So what's gonna make it better? You know?

If you're you're out golfing, probably having something to drink on a hot day. Now, apparently, in Phoenix, they've introduced a new bill that would allow golfers to BYOB, bring their own booze out to the course. And, of course, you've got people who own these golf courses fighting back, like, hey. We need to make some money. Now golfers are loving it because they're like, well, the the beverages out out here, they're worse than an arena.

Yeah. If I didn't have to buy my own booze at the golf course, I could get new clothes. I could, you know, get myself a better coach for my golfing. How expensive are the drinks there? I could get myself a bunch of new clothes.

I would imagine that people are already sneaking their own booze into the golf course. Right? I mean I don't know because I don't golf. But this is a big battle over there between owners of these golf courses and the people who use the golf course. I have read of a few, like, surprising scenarios where BYOB is allowed.

Let me see if it's still allowed at the Lagoon Amusement Park in Utah. I could first time I found out about this, I could not believe it. And hold on because I gotta pull up their website and go to the old, FAQ. Okay. Searchlagoonpark.com.

Let's go for alcohol. Because at least back in the day, you were allowed to BYOB at Lagoon. Okay. Alcohol is not bringing anything up. What about beer?

What if I search for the term beer? Okay. Where is your frequently asked questions? Lagoon, your search function does not work well. Let's find out, if it was simply my bad, and I used an incorrect search term here.

Okay. Am I allowed to bring food? Outside food and drink. Okay. Yes.

You can bring outside food and drink. However, it is not allowed to be brought into Lagoon's beer garden and restaurant, and alcohol cannot be left in a cooler unattended. So you can bring your own alcohol in the Lagoon. That's so crazy to me. I mean, I'm sure it helps people save money, but where they have a beer garden in Lagoon, you would think they'd be trying to make as much money as humanly possible.

Out of all the places in the world where they would allow BYOB, I cannot believe an amusement park in Salt Lake City is one of them. So I guess if they're gonna allow it at Lagoon, might as well allow it at the golf course in, hot Phoenix, Arizona because, yeah, you're gonna need to cool down somehow. So a few weeks ago, we almost talked about the worst radio promotion of all time, but I didn't talk about it because I find it personally very upsetting. Well, we're gonna talk about it now. It's Monday.

Might as well. And it ties into something sorta local that I discovered over the weekend, found to be very strange. And had I not heard this on a podcast, I wouldn't be talking about we for a we. Alright? Hold your we for a we was a radio contest, I wanna say, in Austin, Texas.

And this was back in the nineties. It's exactly what it sounds like. Hold your Wii for a Wii. This radio station had participants show up and drink as much water as they could really fast. And then the last person who could hold their Wii without vomiting or going to the bathroom would win a Nintendo Wii.

Okay. It wasn't in the nineties. This was, 02/2007. So when this radio contest took place, immediately, medical professionals started calling in and things like that. Like, hey.

Hey. You know, somebody is going to die. Somebody's going to die. You guys need to stop this. And the radio staff, they did not take these warnings seriously.

I'm guessing they didn't have company lawyers look into any of this because you can poison yourself with too much water very easily. Alright? They call it acute water intoxication. So you have this mother named Jennifer Lee Strange, and, she's taken part in the contest. This is what makes me so sad.

She was a mother of three. She died trying to win her kids in Nintendo Wii. By the way, we are giving away a Nintendo Switch bundle right now. You don't need to even, do anything that could potentially kill you to win the Nintendo Wii or Switch. K?

All you gotta do is fire up the k Bear or alt app or the Cannonball app and enter to win. Okay. So back to we for a we. You've got this radio staff who are getting phone calls. You know, somebody's gonna die and they're like, oh, sorry.

We were just in the middle of the contest and we just couldn't stop. We just couldn't stop the contest in the middle of it. No. You did you could've stopped it. Well, it turns out that one of the radio hosts involved in this contest you know?

Oh, the whole staff and, like, a bunch of people from the station were fired, and it changed radio giveaways permanently. It's why we don't do any kind of contests that involve any kind of food. Well, one of the hosts was a guy named Adam Cox, and, you know who this guy is? Lori Jabel's brother. Yeah.

I was listening to last podcast on the left over the weekend. They're currently, discussing the Daybell case. Last podcast on the left, I've talked about it before. It's one of my favorite podcasts. They do, true crime.

They do aliens and, you know, Bigfoot. You know, just about everything. Right now, they're hitting East Idaho's most terrific story of all time, the story of the day bells. And they meant you know, all of a sudden, they're talking about we for a we. What is going on in this family?

If you're not familiar with the story of the daybells, I'm not going to dive into all that. You can go to eastidahonews.com and find, plenty of information about that. They even mentioned eastidahonews.com in the podcast, but I just found it so crazy that, like, the worst radio story that I'm aware of or at least one of them, that it would somehow tie into the daybells of all things. Yeah. I don't know what's going on in this family.

And it's it's not to say this guy is like Lori. You know, he's just an idiot radio DJ who should have put a foot down and stood up for a hey. Maybe we shouldn't be doing this. I would assume he's out of the business now, but I don't know. But yeah.

Just bizarre. Bizarre. Anyway, you should listen to last podcast on the left. It's not a show for everybody. K?

Some of the humor might be a little bit, foul, but I do find it to be a pretty entertaining podcast. And, I don't know how many episodes the Daybell story is gonna be. They've done two of them so far. Definitely weird here in one of my favorite podcasts chatted up about East Idaho. You know?

Very strange. So, anyway, that was something that popped up as I was doing chores this weekend. And, again, I just anything stemming from that family, you go, what is going on? Alright. We're gonna take a quick break here.

Be back with more tunes and all that good stuff. But, yeah, you can win a Nintendo Switch from us, and you won't have to risk your life to do so. K? Just sign up in the apps. It's that easy.

Gonna do my best to end the show on a positive note today. Yeah. I know. What's up with me? It's Monday.

Gonna end the show on a positive note. No. I do like a nice missing animal story with a happy ending. I'd if you're a long time listener, I'm sure you know that what was it? A month or two ago?

I went through a very traumatic incident for me when my little baby kitten, Lucy, was missing for two days when it was freezing cold outside. I I was just sick. Sick with anxiety. And, you know, thankfully, I did find her and, you know, the support of all the listeners and, you know, my Facebook friends and such and people I don't even know sharing the missing cat posts and all that, doing their best to help out. I mean, it it meant so much to me, which is why I've started doing my best to share as many missing pet posts as I can.

I would encourage you to do the same, you know, if it was your pet. Or, obviously, like, if it was a child or something, I'm sure you'd want as many people helping out as you can. So please do what you can if you see somebody, missing a family member. And, yes, pets are like family members. Please do what you can to help them out.

Well, this family, they were going to be moving from, let's see here. They were moving to Colorado. I don't know why, I can't find where they were coming from. Oh, Washington. Washington state.

Some reason I was thinking it was somewhere back east. Anyway, it doesn't matter. They were getting ready to move to Colorado. And once the movers had packed up their house, they thought the cat might be scared and hiding in the house because cats get weird when you start moving stuff around the house. I mean, if I move myself into my basement, if I walk into my basement, my cats go crazy.

Like, what are you doing down here? Why are you down here? I posted video of it before. So they thought the cat would just come out from hiding once the movers were done packing up. You know, you had strangers in the house and such, but they couldn't find the cat.

So they spent a few days, you know, looking around the neighborhood like, oh, man. What are we gonna do? But it finally got to the point they had to board their flight to Colorado, and they left some of their, friends and family members to continue the search for their little kitty, Sunny Lou. Well, three weeks later, after they'd pretty much given up hope, the moving, trucks arrive, start unloading their stuff. You know, the family was very bummed out, but they're trying to set up things in their new place.

And the moving company brings in their hide a bed sofa. So they put it down and they start to unwrap it, and then they hear a little somebody had folded the cat up in the hide a bed. No. It was just hiding inside of the, it wasn't folded up in there. I don't think that one worked out so good in the end.

But, yeah, cats can hide in weird places. And they hide a bed couch if you've we had one when I was a kid. I mean, the bulk of it is the bed underneath the cushion. So there there's plenty of room for a cat to hide in there. This cat, three weeks and over a thousand miles on the road, stuck inside of a hide a bed, and it's all good to go.

It's all good to go. I mean, I just goes to show you should never give up hope, and it makes me really happy for this family. So, yeah. Just figured again. I'd end the show on a positive note today, which it's pretty rare that I do that.

Anyway, I'm gonna get out of here. We'll be back at noon for the noon hour of madness and mayhem. Have yourself a good rest of your morning. As always, thank you for listening to the show. You're the best.

I hope you know how much I appreciate you, and I'll talk to you soon. 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.
