The Viktor Wilt Show daily recap! If you miss the show weekdays from 6A-10A MST, you've come to the right place.
Well here we go, it's Thursday. Well, if everybody welcomed to the program, it's the Viktor Wilt Show. Hi.
You know, it's ridiculous. No matter what time I go to bed, I could just keep sleeping and sleeping when it comes to the time I need to get up for work. Went to bed at a really decent time last night. I think I managed to fall asleep pretty quickly. You know, wore the CPAP and still this morning snooze snooze snooze. Finally dragged myself out of bed like I don't want to go. I just want to keep sleeping. I know it's just too comfortable.
Too comfortable. Anyway, good morning. Just got to crush down two more days and the weekend will arrive. We got this. We can do it.
We can make it through. So you know, even though I was like out cold, you know, my poor girlfriend, she wakes up in the middle of the night. My wife. And I don't know if she watched any sad movies last night, but that's what she likes to do.
She was in and talked about it with me on the show earlier in the week. Just waking up watching sad movies. Well the first thread I saw today was what movie will you never watch again because it was too heartbreaking.
Becca, you ready to make a list? I wonder how many of these I've seen and if they were too heartbreaking for me to watch again. What was the movie that died? I mean, I guess you could call Requiem for a dream heartbreaking, but it's also more like disturbing, right?
I don't know. I guess it's pretty heartbreaking. I've tried to watch it again because it's a really good movie. I mean, it's excellent.
But every time I started, I make it like five minutes. I'm like, no, I don't want to do this. I'm not in the mood for this. No.
Well, let's see. Very popular answer online. Fox in the Hound. I don't think I've watched that since I was a kid. And I recall it being the first movie I ever went and saw at the movie theater when I was a child. And I do remember it being very depressing. Kids movies back in the day, some of them were just brutal. You know, like, I mean, Bambi right out of the gate.
The worst one wasn't from when I was a kid. You ever seen that movie up? Oh, geez. Yeah, that one is pretty rough. The first, what, 10, 15 minutes?
Like, geez, what is this? Yeah, Fox in the Hound. This person says I watched it as an adult and God, no, never again. Oh, yeah, I'm remembering some scenes toward the end of Fox in the Hound. It must have been pretty heartbreaking if I remember it like 40 years later or something. All right, I've never seen this movie, but I always hear people talk about how just upsetting it is. Bridge to Terabithia. Okay.
Um, you know, this is becoming a list of movies I am not going to watch. I need a positive attitude. You know, I need something really cheery, some sunshine and rainbows.
That's what I need. Did start watching a little bit of the new fallout and it was pretty good. Yeah, that's not heartbreaking yet.
Let's see. Here's a movie I've never heard of, Dancer in the Dark, Hotel Rwanda. Oh, the Green Mile. The Green Mile is a great movie, great movie and even better book to Stephen King's story. Really good stuff. I would definitely put it in the heartbreaking category, but I would, I would certainly watch it again. Oh, here we go.
All Dogs Go to Heaven. That movie, I've talked about it on air before. That movie scared me so bad as a kid and bothered me so much. I mean, it messed me up. It messed me up when I was a little kid.
All Dogs Go to Heaven. Yeah, I don't recommend that one with your kids. Definitely a heartbreaking show.
Grave of the Fireflies. I've seen this show up on similar lists before. Let's see, Life is Beautiful. Have I seen that?
I don't know. Oh, Where the Red Fern Grows. Okay, we had to read that book in third grade.
This is another thing that just stuck with me from when I was a kid. So we're reading Where the Red Fern Grows as a Class and I believe it wasn't the author from Idaho Falls or Poki. Anyway, we get to the end of the book and my teacher made me read the end of the book to the class because she was just bawling. She's, so I had to personally read it to the class.
I must have been a pretty good reader in third grade. Marley and me, I've heard about that one. Yeah, I'm not going to watch that movie because I got spoiled on that one.
What Dreams May Come? That's another one that I bought the book a while back and I've seen the movie, have thought about watching it again, but I remember it being very depressing, very depressing. So add that one to your list too, Becca. Here this person says, Dear Zachary is the best movie I'll never watch again. Oh, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. That movie is definitely sad. Definitely way sad.
All right, I mean, I could go on and on with this list, but now I'm starting to have depressing thoughts. OK, got some tax related news for you. Isn't that fun? Yeah, let's talk about taxes.
I need to look around and gather up all my crap. Or maybe there's no rush as Idaho taxpayers have been advised to wait to file as the state updates tax software and forms. So looking like Idaho taxpayers going to have to wait longer than usual for their at least state income tax refunds. Yeah, they just signed a new bill that updates our tax code to match federal changes. And so now all these computer systems have to be updated.
Oh, thanks for waiting till the last minute, guys, to get the job done. So, you know, tax software companies also need time to update their programs. And because of those updates, they're like, that's going to take longer than usual. Hopefully this results in something at least decent for us. You know, and if you've already filed your taxes, they're like, we're working on a plan for people who've already done that so you can take advantage of the new deductions. We got a plan. I swear.
Is there anybody confident in our state government? So anyway, I mean, you got till April 15th to deal with your taxes. But yeah, I don't even know where all my stuff is.
I got to find it. I have I've just been out of whack all week. Like it's been a rough week for me. And so by the time I get home, I'm just like, and I'm lucky if I accomplish something like shampoo and a carpet in a room or something like that. I got to get it together.
Need to get it together, find my tax stuff, probably other things I need to do. At least I've been going to bed at a reasonable time. Like the last two days. Maybe I'll pull it off three nights in a row. It'd be nice to roll into the weekend. I'll I'll energized and pumped up. We'll see. All right.
I'll try to find something to talk about that isn't tax related and frustrating. Pink Floyd and Time. If you're a Pink Floyd fan mentioned this yesterday, the Pink Floyd Tribute Act, Britt Floyd announced for the Mountain America Center.
I don't remember the date on that one, but it's a ways down the line. And they're supposed to be the premier Pink Floyd Tribute Act. So if you're a Pink Floyd fan, probably going to want to go check that one out. I think I'm going to have to because those songs live are awesome. I mean, I've seen the Australian Pink Floyd band.
They were really good. Is Britt Floyd better? I don't know. Have to go check it out, though. All right. What did I have up that I was going to talk about? A little bit of outrage in the candy world.
Yeah. Apparently the grandson of the founder of Reese's is blast and Hershey's over alleged recipe changes. He said, I threw it in the garbage. Brad Reese.
Well, he's very upset. He says that he says that Hershey has replaced traditional ingredients like milk, chocolate and peanut butter with lower cost substitutes in parts of the Reese's product line. I guess he bought one of the, let's see, which were they? They were like Reese's unwrapped chocolate peanut butter cream mini hearts, which I don't think I've ever seen. I mean, I've seen the heart shaped Reese's, but said he got a bag, took a couple bites, threw it in the garbage, couldn't eat it. It was not edible.
Looked at the packaging. No milk, chocolate, no peanut butter. It was all vegetable oils and fats.
And he said that Reese's take five and fast break. Also disgusting. And then he says in parts of Europe, even the peanut butter cups.
Disgusting. Hershey's is like, no, we didn't do it. Not to the peanut butter cups, but with some of our other products so we can make new shape sizes and innovations. We made some recipe adjustments. So it sounds to me like they're potentially admitting to changing certain products aside from the regular old peanut butter cups.
Brad Reese, disgusting. Threw it in the garbage. All right.
So I don't know. I guess make sure you buy regular Reese's or something. I got a bunch of candy in my pocket. Becca hooked me up with a bunch of candy for Valentine's Day.
I probably shouldn't have brought so much candy with me, but it was there. Staring me in the face, looking delicious. I'll let you know if anything tastes off. I'm I'm not very picky.
I'm sure it's going to taste good. I was just laughing. I was scrolling Facebook and forgot about something that happened yesterday. OK. You know, there are these groups on Facebook where people will like ask, hey, is is this person, you know, dating anybody else? I'm not going to say the name of the particular group.
But. It's really funny. Somebody I know got posted in this group. You know, some some girl asking anybody know anything about this guy. And, you know, a lot of people chiming in talking about how he's great, dude. A few chiming in saying, you know, their opinions and such.
I'm trying to keep this vague. But these kind of groups, man. They're pretty toxic.
They're pretty toxic. Like, OK, let's say you meet someone and you want to get to know them. You know, you're potentially looking at date number something. What's the best route to get to know that person? Go to some random group on Facebook and ask for the opinions of the general public or maybe just hang out with them. Well, some people decide to go to these groups and then, you know, essentially put this person on blast. Um, don't do that.
All right. Just get to know somebody. It's not that difficult. You know, you hang out with them a bit. And if things go in a great direction, they go in a great direction. If they don't, then you move along. I mean, if someone was to post me in one of those groups, I think most people would say, you know, good dude, sure. But there have to be a handful of people out there who would say something terrible about me because nobody is liked by everybody. All right.
No matter how good you are, nobody is like to buy everybody. So just try to not engage in the just toxic, gossiping Facebook groups. It was kind of hilarious to watch. I just totally forgot about that till I started scrolling and saw the friend post about it. Yeah. Again, don't just take advice from random strangers.
Okay. Guaranteed you could post about anybody online and there's going to be somebody who's going to chime in. Yeah, that person, a piece of crap. I don't like them.
They did something rude to me. And you're going to let the opinions of a couple of randos run your life. That's stupid. All right. Don't do it. Just get to know people.
All right. Or, you know, Google them. You can Google them.
You can look them up in the Idaho repository or whatever they call it now. You could see if they've been convicted of some type of horrible crimes or something like that. There are a lot of ways you could look up information on people that's factual. You know, rather than just getting opinions of other people. So anyway, gave me a good laugh.
But man, social media can be toxic. You haven't left your house yet. It sucks outside.
It's like really cold, slick. Oh, I am definitely getting old. What have we had?
Three kind of cruddy days recently. And I'm just like, I'm out. I'm moving to Arizona. I've had it. No more of this cold and snow.
And we've had the tamest winter of all time. I guess I could take a look and see if things are supposed to improve here. Oh, least I didn't have to fully clean off the vehicles this morning. Also, I thought I was going to have to bust out my new snowblower for the first time yesterday. Didn't happen. Didn't end up having to bust out the snow blower, but I did have to.
Shovel off the back deck, which kind of sucked. But now my internet ain't working. Great.
Fantastic. Well, no weather report coming your way. For now, it's cold and it sucks. So if you don't have to go outside, don't do it. That's what I say. Stay in, stay warm.
What is going on here? But the internet is vital to me being able to do this program. Well, I guess I'll have to go check with Josh class to see if he's having the same problems. So we need some kind of a network issue today. When I got a lot to do, so glad it's Thursday. Two more days, people will roll into the weekend. What are you doing this weekend? I'm going to a country show.
That's right. Going to go check out Ian Munzik at the Mountain America Center. Bec is favorite country artist. We went and saw him in Jackson. I surprised her a while back. I think I talked about that on here. Little acoustic show. Somehow she didn't hear about it. There we go.
My internet seems to have kicked back in again. But yeah, you know, country show should be a good time. Ian Munzik, an actual cowboy from Wyoming. So. Yeah, it should be should be good. Let's look at the 10 day forecast. They are saying light snow happening right now.
Is this Idaho Falls? Dude, this is great. The forecast has changed since yesterday. Last time I checked it, it was like, oh, it's going to be freezing next week. Now getting back up into the forties.
All right. Yeah, it looks like today and tomorrow we're going to suck. But then it's going to get an improve. Great. Oh, I love how the weather forecast can change from day to day. Heck, yeah. All right. You know, I might be tired. Might not want to be here, but at least my eyes are not florescent alien green.
Like this lady's actually might be kind of cool. Far as I know, it wasn't a major health issue. But it sent an Irish hospital into a panic. Yeah, this woman went in and she just had, I don't know, some type of eye exam. And they had to give her some type of eye drops. Forgot to ask her if she was wearing contact lenses. And so it contaminated her lenses with fluorescent dye. And I mean, if you look at this lady's eyes, I don't know if they enhance this picture or what, but it does look like she's about to turn into the toxic avenger. Yeah, pretty cool.
If I was her, I would have been, you know, hitting the mall, just walking around scaring people and just acting like nothing's out of the norm. That's pretty cool. I mean, St. Patrick's Day is coming up about a month. Eyes still going to be green then.
I mean, I would assume she could just put in different contact lenses, but she looks crazy. I don't recommend you do this. All right, it's probably not good for you in some way or other. If you want to get crazy eyes, just buy the contact lenses that are designed specifically for that fluorescent dye in your eyes.
I would imagine if it's not administered by a doctor, it's probably a really bad idea. So even if it looks pretty sweet, pretty cool. Oh, there's a video clip. Let's see.
Oh, that doesn't link to a video clip. You have peace and garbage. Irish star dot com website sucks. All right, if you are headed over to your local sheriff's office to pay for a fine, you probably shouldn't drive there hammered.
I mean, it makes their job easy, but it's a pretty stupid move. Where was this at? Bozeman, fairly local. Got a guy who drove to the Granite County Sheriff's Office to pay for an open container fine and. Yeah, he just stayed, I guess. Because he asked if you drive here, did you look like it kind of messed up? And he's like, yeah, three times over the legal limit. So I mean, he was hammered. This guy was way hammered. So, um, and then they found another open container in his vehicle.
Don't drink and drive people. OK, all right. It's just a bad idea. You don't want to go to jail or hurt somebody. Call yourself an Uber. And if you need to go to the sheriff's office to pay a fine, can you mail it?
Can you get a buddy to drive you? I mean, I guess at least the guy was honest. Yeah, I drove here. It was me.
Oh, let's see. Have you seen this video of China's dancing robots? I saw it and it was a little bit unsettling. It's kind of like when you see the videos of those robot dogs that look like the robot dogs from Black Mirror. This might even be more unsettling because these dancing robots are very humanoid. OK, and with everything happening with AI, I mean, how long is it till the robots just take over? And is it going to be better when the robots take over?
I don't know. I mean, I think we've all at this point discovered that human beings can be pretty terrible at making decisions. Maybe we need AI powered robots to just take over as our leaders.
Maybe we do. But you should look it up. You should look up the Chinese dancing robots video. It's really weird. They were doing some kind of a show or what.
But these robots, they look like people. I don't know. I'm watching it right now. And it's just kind of like what is happening? It looks like AI. It doesn't look real, but apparently it is. I mean, they're powered by AI.
I meant that it looked like an AI generated video. Pretty creepy, pretty creepy. We are going to be in some weird stuff by like 2030. What's the world going to be like? Hopefully the world's still here.
Hopefully it's still here. You know, we do always have to be concerned with things like asteroids hitting the earth like we talked about the other day or, you know, right now Yellowstone. I read that the the ground is bulging in a very large area. Oh, no. I mean, if Yellowstone goes obviously not good for where we're at, but the whole planet's screwed.
So, OK, let's see. Can I can I be more positive somehow here? It's pretty tough right now. Digging through the news like why it's becoming so expensive to buy a car in America. Who wants to read that?
Yeah, it sucks. I would love to buy a car. I'm sick of burning gas in my truck.
I'd like to be able to take a road trip and, you know, do it affordably. I'm not going to read this article, but it did say that the average car payment is about eight hundred dollars, eight hundred dollars. That's crazy. That's a lot of money for a car payment. Eight hundred dollars. Who is buying the who's buying all these vehicles?
It's at one in five vehicle payments over a thousand dollars a month. Somebody's making money. What else do we have? Like I said, it's a tough news day for freak news. They did arrest the former prince of England for his alleged misconduct that's popped up in those Epstein files. Good to see that they're starting to investigate and arrest people for that stuff. I was talking with a listener about this a little bit earlier off air. Because I don't think a lot of people get a lot of news about this. I've noticed the mainstream news doesn't talk about a lot of these just disgusting, insane allegations in these files. You think a bare minimum. OK, let's do some investigating here.
Well, and maybe charge some people with some crimes. I've seen a lot of people like step down from their roles at companies and such. In the last couple of weeks, there's like, all right, I guess I'll just go. What about you? You go face some charges.
What about that? Isn't that how these things are supposed to work? Hold people accountable for horrible crimes, not just how you lose your job.
OK, bye bye. Well, at least they're starting. I mean, if the brother of the king of England can get arrested.
Maybe some other people, you know, face some accountability. OK, I'm going to keep digging because like I said, it's tough to find someone like, you know, just fun stupid news today. Oh, it's all cold and cruddy outside. Bleak.
And then you fire up the internet. Oh, terrible. Wouldn't it be crazy to be basically forced into an arranged marriage? I mean, there are still places where you can find someone who can find a place where this happens, which is just nuts. Well, one woman came up with a creative way to get out of this.
This was in India. She faked that she had been transformed into a snake and then disappeared without a trace. So basically this woman vanishes from her home. Relatives enter her bedroom, they find her clothes and jewelry neatly placed on the bed along with a five foot long shed snakeskin arranged in a startling display and I guess all the neighbors immediately were like, oh, she turned into a snake, she's a snake person. And they were all convinced something supernatural had occurred so the cops come in and they're like, um, no, we've got some information here showing she was communicating with another man in the village and we're guessing she just took off with them.
Then you know later on she pops up on a video online and she's hooked up with the other guy who she's now married to and she's like, you know, I'm happy with my decision. Let us live in peace. I don't know where she went.
The article doesn't say but hopefully they are allowed to live in peace. You should definitely be able to pick your partner up. Can you imagine getting stuck? Somebody you just don't like. If you are stuck with somebody you don't like, always remember you don't have to be.
Dump him or pretend that you turned into a snake and just moved to another state. Well, lots of good new music been coming out recently and we got some interesting new music on the way. William Shatner announcing a new all-star metal album featuring 35 hand-picked metal icons.
Yeah, that William Shatner. Apparently, time to go metal. And I can't wait to hear what this sounds like. I've had William Shatner like gone viral for funny music that he's released over the years. Well, they haven't put out the full list of artists that are going to be joining him on this new album. He says it's a project that's equal parts thunder, theater and fearless experimentation. But some of the folks that have been confirmed include Zach Wilde, you know, Ozzie's band, Richie Blackmore from Deep Purple and Rainbow, Edgar Fros, Friess from Tangerine Dream, Wayne Kramer from MC5 and Henry Rawlins of, you know, Henry Rawlins fame, Black Flag, Rawlins band. So it doesn't say when this is going to come out, but William Shatner says metal has always been a place where imagination gets loud. And this album is a gathering of forces. Each artist bringing their fire, their precision, their chaos. I chose them because they have something to say and because metal demands honesty. I wonder how heavy it'll be. Because metal can mean a lot of different things.
You'll see people arguing. You know, ghosts, they're not metal. But to ask the same person is Black Sabbath metal.
Of course they are. Well, listen to that Melior album. We got some pretty doomy riffage on there. You know, those early ghost albums.
And they're there in that Sabbath realm, I'd say. And then their newer stuff's more like eighties metal. But, you know, for somebody who's into, I don't know, grindcore, they're gonna be like, no, no, it's not metal. So I'm guessing this is going to be probably in that eighties metal realm. But you never know. Might have some like brutal breakdowns and things like that.
William Shatner just screaming, just screaming away. When I get more information on when the album's going to drop, I'll let you know. Yeah, they haven't released really anything like the title or track list released, any of that. But they said it will be revealed soon.
So looking forward to checking that out should be pretty interesting. We got Jay Davis in the house. What a fool. Just kind of give you more work. You know how this goes.
I was going to say, don't I have some other work I need to do? Always. Oh yeah.
Yeah. Need to deal with some country music. You were telling me you had to work on some other music. So we can probably do that today, though. You don't do that. Sure. All right.
Might as well get that over with, get it out of the way, then can move on to the next project, which it's OK. It's not going to be as bad. Don't have to deal with the classic nineties pop yet. I don't know which is worse. Nineties country or nineties pop.
Probably nineties country. That's pretty bad. But they're they're both like terrible. It's weird when you think back. I always thought the nineties was like the best generation of music only in one genre only in rock and metal.
Yeah. You start listening to that nineties pop nineties country nineties pop was interesting. It was all over the place. It was all over the place. You go from like Goo Goo dolls to Aliyah to some some other stupid boy band stuff. Did the nineties were pretty weird.
And so like when you start looking at like radio charts from back then. I think I was talking to Josh about Casey Kasem the other day. And I guess on his final show, the number one song on the top 40 countdown was Shine Down Second Chance. I don't remember that being on Z 103. It might have been, but that song sucks. Well, it's Shine Down. That's both. Take it.
Sorry. If you like Shine Down, more power to you. I just don't see the appeal. You know, they're a fine enough band.
It's just. But there's plenty of bands that I like that other people don't. Exactly. You know, like, did you see Peach's post in the K-Bear group about nineties music? And he did that because every once in a while, we'll have a listener say like, what do you guys play all this old crap, blah, blah, blah. And it's like, because people like it and people our age, you're in my age. That's what we grew up on. Yeah. And that's most nostalgic, man, bringing back to my teens.
Yeah. Most people stop listening to new music at about 30. So if you want them to listen to your radio station, you play the music they want to hear. And overwhelmingly, the poll was like, yeah, obviously, continue to play chili peppers, nirvana, rage against the machine, et cetera.
And that's the interesting thing about a radio station. It's not made for the single. No, that's what your personal playlist for your own mixtape. Exactly. Yeah, radio stations are meant for everyone.
Yes. That's why there's a dial so you can turn when there's something on that you don't like, not that you should ever turn it away from cable, of course, unless you're going to like alter cannonball or one of the other stations we have in the building. Hopefully you've got an HD radio in your vehicle and you can just flip over at alt or flip over to cannonball. Or you can. Yeah, you can listen to some country. I've been, you know, telling people, check out the all new outlaw.
Yep. That one is good. That's what I was working on yesterday was chopping up more songs for outlaw. My never ending, my never ending nightmare out. Perfect.
That's okay. It needs a little bit more. A little bit more variety. I mean, there's what 700 something songs already in there. But I think about it's pretty good for radio stations. At least 50 more back in the day.
Anything over like 300 was considered too much. Well, I mean, the average rock station, I think they play like 300 songs a week where K-Bear plays like a thousand songs a week. That's when I see people post you guys need more variety.
I'm like, find me a radio station with more variety. You can't have all cannonball about it. Yeah, that's about it. But it's spanning 50 years of music. Exactly. Exactly. Oh, we probably need to take a look at that one sometime soon too. So I got the peach on that one. All right. He's doing the groundwork.
Well, dude, I would love to do that kind of work. It's so easy. Ranking out the music. That's like a dream day for me. It's just mind numbing. Throw on some YouTube. Just sit there and type in numbers. Just sit there and type numbers.
Fill out that spreadsheet. Yeah. You don't want to hike mountains in the snowstorm and no fend off packs of coyotes.
Yeah, no, thank you. Or in the summertime, try not to get bit by rattlesnakes or electrocute yourself. No, I'll sit in my office and schedule music. Yeah, like when people complain about scheduling music, I'm like, that's the best. It's completely mindless.
I almost pass out when I do it. Yeah, dude. I love that.
I'm like, I'm gonna kick back in my office and just relax. Yeah. The worst is coding music because you have to listen to it. You can't have a different distraction on. And you got to do it all at once. Yeah, you have to sit there and just walk us down. There's 1,300 songs. You are locked in for a few days. Yeah, I did learn that even though when it comes to country music, you know, the non mainstream stuff is what I prefer. When you got a code 700 of those, well, just doom and gloom.
Emo with a twang. Yeah, at least it was still sunny out then. Trying to do it in this weather.
Well, Jesus. But the weather is supposed to improve. Yesterday, they had a terrible forecast for next week. And now it's looking like we're going to get back up into the 40s and it's going to be great. So yeah.
No need to even shovel or snowblower. Nothing. I know. I I knew if I bought a new snow blower that the weather would never come that I'd need to use it. But if I didn't get it just like me, we'd get pummeled by snow. Kind of a nice little snow blade from either side by side.
Haven't used it at all. I mean, I'll take it, though. I'd rather not have to go out with the snow blower because it sucks. It's just not. I mean, it's better than using a shovel for sure.
It's satisfying a little bit. It's like, yeah, I got some power, but you're still outside in the snow, which sucks. So I hope you don't have to go to the mountain anytime soon.
Is there even any snow on the mountain? Oh, yeah. Oh, is there now? Oh, yeah.
I guess probably after the last few days, I couldn't even see through the cameras the last few days until now it's finally sloughed off. All right. Well, yeah, don't don't get eaten by coyotes. If you got to go out there or something like that, dude. All right, everybody, we're getting closer to nine. If you need to reach us, you know how to do it.
You call us 208-535-1015. Old fashioned. That's how you reach us nowadays. The old fashioned way with your dial up phone. Using your voice. Yeah, you have to speak to us.
Or you could message me on Facebook. I don't care. So I was going to get into this disturbing post about AI and the upcoming elections and things like that that I was reading. But I don't want to give anybody any nightmare fuel yet. We'll wait. We'll wait till closer to the elections. I think we're all doomed. We're all doomed.
People can't tell what information is real and what isn't anymore. Yes. All right.
Instead. I found this post. It's just one of these posts that. It gives me a little chuckle that people go to the Internet to discuss these things with others. Am I a jerk for calling my coworker a psycho when she made fun of my height? All right.
So this guy says this all kind of spiraled out of control. I am five foot six. I know that I am short.
It has never bothered me. My parents are also short. My sisters are short. And the guy's short.
OK. I mean, five six is in that short. I'm not much taller than that. Am I short? You calling me short? All right. Anyway, five foot six. It's not that short.
OK. But anyway, this guy says he recently got married and his co-worker is upset about this for some reason. She says she doesn't understand why someone would marry a man as short as I am. And she also eventually said that short men shouldn't have kids because it's bad for the gene pool.
What is wrong with being short? This co-worker does sound like a psycho. Who says that to people? Can't imagine why someone would marry you. You're short.
Geez. So he said a lot of people are short. Are you saying short people shouldn't exist? You remember that song?
Short people got no reason to live. You heard that song before. It's been a while since we played it. Peach's favorite song. So the guy gets, you know, to arguing with her. He's like, you know, short people shouldn't get married or have kids. He says, I got a little emotional, but I didn't raise my voice. She still told me to calm down. And I said she was the one acting like a psycho. I'm just living my life and she's out of control. So she went to HR to complain about me calling her a psycho. Oh, if I had to deal with my co-workers, at least the ones on K-Bear going to whining to HR because I called them a name. That'd be so annoying, especially psycho.
That's not that bad. I mean, think about the things you could call somebody. Psycho is pretty tame. I mean, Jade, you know, during Halloween season, I'll play the skeleton song when he's walking in and talking about clickety-clackety, Jade, walking down the hall. You know, call Peach is a big oath. You know, oh, going to HR.
Jade calls me fat. You know, I should go to HR. I've had it. I feel so insulted.
And then I guess after all of this. So HR told the guy, think about his word choices in the future, but they didn't document it or didn't document it. Um, co-workers found out what happened and several of them are on her side and say that this guy has a fragile ego.
Like, dude, I don't think the colon somebody's psycho is that is is that that insulting? Let me try this out here. Oh, they're on air over there at classy. I'm going to call peaches. Let me turn this music down here. All right, let's see if peaches gets offended. What's up? Hey, peaches, you're live on the show. I just wanted to call and tell you you're a psycho. OK, cool. I'd see you did.
That's cool. Oh, peaches upset now. I call them a psycho. I'm out of control. Oh, it sounds to me like, you know, they need to deal with this other co-worker.
You know, I mean, she's the one who's being pretty insulting. Short people got no reason to live. You shouldn't be able to get married.
You're just you're destroying the gene pool. That's what she said. No problem with that.
Just don't call somebody psycho. My goodness. All right. Well, anyway, this short guy over here. I'll be back in just a minute. No, call me short. All right.
I can I can live my life to psychos. Cannot wait to see Poppy live in Salt Lake City. One of the best shows I saw last year just announced some tour dates.
What, yesterday, day before? Check out our event calendar. K-Bear .fm, click concerts. Find out about all the good shows coming up.
Beaches what's happening. I'm tired of looking at numbers. I'm taking a break real fast. I've been there.
Done that. Do you have something like running in the background to keep you entertained? Well, the thing is that I like to listen to old Howard Stern clips. And so blasting that in the cannonball studio is not the best idea. Yeah, probably not. I'm also thoroughly worried that the board's going to somehow air that over the air. Oh, no.
Yeah, that would probably good. Cannonball listeners in for a treat. Hey now.
And I'll Boba Boy. I was just reading this dumb post online of a woman cut her hair off and her husband and mother-in-law and everyone just started yelling at her. Geez. Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how to say what the husband called her. It's not a nice word, but he basically is saying she's a dressing for attention.
Um, it's not a swear word, but it seems like Jade wouldn't want me to use that word on air. Yeah, it's a. Oh, I know it starts with S. Oh, OK, never mind. I don't know. Yeah.
I mean, there's a few different words like in this moment has a song that's basically the same kind of word. That's the word I thought. Yeah. Yeah, it's basically that word, but the one that starts with S. Again, not swear words, but I'm just I don't want Jade barging in. Um, it's just a haircut.
Like, why are people so judgmental about what other people do with their own body? You know, like say, Peach, as you decided, I'm going to get a tattoo on my bald head. You know, you being you, it's your hat. I thought you were about to say something else when you went. I can't.
I can't even sound it. Sure. Wherever you want to get a tattoo or. You want to see it? Just don't show me. Hey, now seems like it seems like a terrible place for a tattoo. That would hurt so bad.
You would think so. Sensitive. If anybody has a tattoo in that area, give us a call.
How bad did it hurt? But it was one of these Am I a jerk posts because she was asking my jerk for saying I don't care about their opinion about my hair. I think if the husband called her what he did for cutting her hair short, dump them. Dissolve him. If he's balding, call him out.
That's right. Be like, least I have hair. You fat old loser. You saw that whole thing about Pitbull trying to gather the world's largest group of people with bald caps. No, I didn't see that.
And I commented my culture is not your costume. I got like 70 Lafriette. I'm a Facebook comedian now. All right, Peter, well, at least you're bringing some happiness to Facebook because my Facebook feed is just pretty gross today. I mean, I call people out for running through those those signals there, you know. Yeah, you like to stir it up a little bit.
I do every once in a while. But yeah, yeah. If you want to cut your hair, ladies, go ahead. Yeah, yeah.
I just complimented one of our listeners who shaved it all off and dyed it blonde. Nice. Nice.
Heck yeah. You know, you be you get tattoos, do whatever you want at your body. And if you're a significant other doesn't like it and they're that rude about it, dump them as long as it's not like, you know, you're doing meth all of a sudden. No, OK, I'm talking about things like your body.
OK, yeah, don't start shooting heroin and then dump your husband when they're like, please go to your toxic. Please. I'm worried that you're going to die.
Whatever. And one of the spools missing. Yeah, OK, no, I was talking more about, you know, simple body modifications and things. Well, you want to get a piercing or tattoo? Morning. Welcome to the Victor Wildschild and happy Thursday. If you're out and about traveling, please be careful, especially if you're headed north. Talk to a listener earlier who was in the Driggs area.
And I guess there's a huge herd of elk on top of the very slick conditions. So just be cautious. Give yourself some extra time, you know, try to stay away from other people. Anyhow, weather is supposed to improve next week, thankfully, because we've had like three days of bad weather and I'm already grouchy about it.
I know time to move. What's the weather like in Phoenix? I bet it's pretty dang nice. I bet it's pretty nice because it always is this time of year. Oh, wow, chilly there today. High of 61 frigid. Oh, well, then by next Wednesday, high of 85.
And crap. Can you imagine if you just like suddenly popped up somewhere right now where it's 85 degrees? Oh, it would seem so hot. But it would be great.
It would be great. I wish I had some PTO. I need to get out of town. Just keep, you know, wasting my PTO. I'm going to build it up, though.
I have to build it up because of something secret. So I'm going to go to bed early and take lots of vitamins for the foreseeable future. Cannot miss a single day.
I need every bit of PTO I can get. All right. What's going on here? Yeah. I thought I had a tab opened up that I was going to talk about, but apparently not. There was a post that somebody made on Reddit and the radio subreddit. And they're like, hey, so radio DJs, how do you play songs in this day and age? Is it still cassettes and CDs?
Or do you use your phone now? Also, who's in charge of song selection? Is there a premade list by someone? Or do you guys just kind of get to play anything that comes to mind? Can you imagine if we had to use cassettes and CDs? I mean, that's how it used to be back way back in the day. But I've been in this business like 20 years and everything was already digital back then. You know, I have I don't think I've ever stuck a CD in a CD player and played it over the air. We don't even have a CD player in here. JD dropped me off some CDs like two months ago, and we don't even have a computer with a CD drive for me to like rip the songs off of. The computers in the studio knows they're in a CD drive in sight.
Yeah, it's all digital files inside of a computer. And you know who picks the songs? Me, that's right.
Me. Usually there's somebody in charge of picking songs. And then we've got this great program that you, you know, code all the songs up and you put all these rules in place and it'll, you know, lay down a playlist that flows with, you know, a different type of song, one to the other old to new blah, blah, blah. If you had to like sit down and figure it out for yourself, every show would be just a dumpster fire because it would just be every DJ just playing what they want to hear.
And the flow would suck. But we're lucky here. I mean, we'll play requests. We do let the DJs like throw in some songs they want to hear and things like that.
Most stations, you just sit there and do whatever the program director says and you shut up. All right. And you don't talk very much either. All right. Running your radio show off your phone.
Oh, that'd be a headache. I hosted a show at the heart around Halloween and I was running a playlist off my phone and it sucked. It was terrible. All right. No, we got expensive software that does that kind of stuff for us.
It's very nice. I mean, there is, you know, some manual work here. Like when I decide, oh, I want to hear some electric call, boy.
You're not just drag and drop it in. But go anyway, I'll figure out what I was going to talk about before for the last break of the show coming up here in just a few minutes. Hang on. Well, holy cow. It's almost 10 o'clock already. Yay. That means we are one step closer to the end of the workday.
At least I hope so. You might be just arriving, just getting started. Don't worry. It's going to go by fast. It's going to be a good day and the better weather is coming.
All right. I got to go deal with a lot of country music, which it should help the time go by fast. But I'm going to have to pound down some either raw meat, energy drink or instant coffee shooter.
I haven't decided which. I've come to be a little bit fond of the raw meat, energy drink, even though it's probably not that good for you. It's got some kind of artificial sweetener or something in it. You just never know. Probably not great for you.
Nothing that's good is right. Anyhow, as always, I appreciate your company. I couldn't find whatever story I was going to talk about. So I could have gotten to some controversial crap, but I need energy for that. Maybe we'll do some of that during the noon hour of madness in Mayhem, which happens obviously at noon with myself and peaches. So I'm going to get out of here, but I kind of want to end with something fun. Let me check the next hour, make sure what's coming up here that I'm not going to throw in something that's already going to play. Oh, I probably was going to throw in something that was already going to play.
So instead, well, here, we'll do some of Perfect Circle. So long and thanks for all the fish. 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 RiverbendmediaGroup.com. you
