Howdy, my people. [instrumental music plays] Good mornin'. Welcome to the Victor Wilt Show. And, uh, hope you have a great Wednesday. Let's see here. All right, where's that stupid tab I had open?
Man, I can't wait 'til, like, the news in general calms down and there are actually fun things in the news to talk about. [laughs] Yeah, I know, it's funny. It's a funny dream. All right, things that people believe are true, even though they can't prove it. All right, let's see what we got. "Squirrels are addicted to the adrenaline high they get from running in front of cars." [laughs] They do- they do seem to enjoy playing with my cats. They must get, uh, some kind of rush out of that. So I, I don't know. [laughs] They could also just be dumb. I mean, they got, you know, lit- little brains, little squirrel brains. So, I don't know. [laughs] All right, this could end up being a fun thread if that's how it's gonna start out. Again, these are things people believe are 100% true even though they can't prove it. All right, this guy's got his own conspiracy theory. "In the UK, they have a vast overpopulation of traffic cones. They don't know where to store them all, so they just randomly put them on a road for a couple weeks then move them to a different road with no work actually being done." [laughs] Boy, I can tell you, out near Burley, you know, I had to drive there for years and years and years, and it certainly seemed like there was endless road construction that never accomplished anything. You know? Uh, that's my conspiracy theory. They're in cahoots with, uh, you know, some kind of company that does road work to just endlessly hand over money and share it, something like that. Again, it's a conspiracy theory. Oh, and I can't talk very well yet. Still waking up. Let's see. "People who program traffic lights somehow set them up so they can have an easier commute." [laughs] That can seem true. You know, there are certain afternoons where I'm just like, "Why on Earth am I hitting every single red light?" Every single one. You know, can't we program these so, you know, the traffic flow in one direction
just, just goes? I, I don't know. I'm not a, uh,
transportation department worker. I'm sure it's much more complex than that. [laughs] But maybe that's why. They're setting 'em up so their drive goes easy. I, I could, I could buy into that. Let's see here. This person believes, "Netflix included a lot of smoking for their characters as an advertisement for the tobacco industry since tobacco is heavily restricted on how they can advertise." Well, from what I've read about smoking, you know, I think numbers are, uh, down. So it's, it's not working, it's not working. I think they just put smoking and drinking in movies. I, I won- wonder why? I know when I'm not drinking, I certainly notice how much alcohol is in, you know, movies and, uh, TV shows. Don't seem to see as much smoking. I don't know. Let's see here. What else we got?
This person, person, uh, is convinced that their dad smoked a pipe, but no one seems to remember that except them. All right, let's see. This person thinks that, "Pets understand way more of what we say than they let on." Hmm.
I think people all want to think that,
but I could be like, "Come here, you're a bad kitty." And, uh, well, Koopa will come to me anyway. Not Lucy. Stubborn teenager cat. Yeah, very, uh... [laughs] I don't know what the word I'm looking for here is right now, but, uh, yeah. She's being, uh, standoffish. It's probably 'cause there's a dog hanging out at the house and the cats are frustrated. Plus two other cats. I got a zoo going on now. Regular old zoo. All right, let's see here.
This person believes, "The moon landing was real." Okay, well, I think that most people do. I think that most people do. I know there are some that don't, but I think most people do. This person believes, "Aliens exist somewhere out there in our vast universe. There are likely some in our galaxy. Life can't have happened only once in such a mind-bogglingly vast space." I, I think that statistically it seems like there's gotta be some other kind of life out there. It's just, can they make it here or vice versa? Can we make it to where the other life is? Still waiting on the government to drop some new alien news. Um, could be exciting. All right, let's see here. This person believes, "Psych operations on social media from foreign countries using social media to attempt to destroy the US from within." Um,
didn't they already prove that, like, Russia was, uh, you know, doing a bunch of hoaxes on social media and things like that? I'm pretty sure that there is, uh, foreign propaganda, you know, all over social media. And boy, I don't know who to blame for the division in this country, but, uh, I would imagine foreign countries, some of 'em are definitely stoking the flames a little bit. All right. Well, f-... as I scan this thread, it's starting to get more and more boring. So, I'm gonna stop that one and find something else to talk about while we listen to some Volbeat.
Okay. I'm just sitting here kinda baffled. Like, you know, a lot of people say, you know, we're living in a, a, a bad timeline, like, you know, the timeline where Biff Tannen got the Sports Almanac. But at least Acid Bath is back. You know, they're playing shows. I have been unable to go to any of the shows 'cause they're just not close enough. I don't have the money. I don't have the PTO. Right now, I see new tour announced for the UK, of all places. This is the most ridiculous tour line-up, for me, that I could possibly imagine. System of a Down, Queens of the Stone Age, and Acid Bath hitting up the UK and, uh, you know, other areas of Europe in the summer of 2026. Again, System of a Down, Queens of the Stone Age, and Acid Bath. What, what is going on? How is this possible? [laughs] And why does it have to be overseas? Come on. That's like the best line-up of all time. [laughs] I mean, if you would've told me
a year ago Acid Bath would be playing shows, period, I wouldn't have ever believed it. But, that they'd also be touring with two of my favorite bands of all time, Queens of the Stone Age and System of a Down, I'd be like, "That, that's complete insanity. There's no way that could happen. Y- you're a liar." So, I guess I've got almost a year to figure out how I could get enough money to go to the UK
and see this tour.
I don't know. I'm, I'm gonna have to start buying more lotto tickets, right? Jade, I need a raise! I need a big one! [laughs] That is wild. That is wild. I guess I'll have to settle for, you know, what we're getting around here, but... I mean, I would go see any of those bands just by themselves. You know, usually you see a line-up and it's like, "Oh, I like that band," or, you know, "Okay, those two are pretty good." This is absurd to me. But that's just 'cause this is... As far as my personal taste goes,
that's like, you know, three of the all-time best. So, I'm gonna sit here and cry during the, uh, brief break, then I'll get over it, and then, uh, I'll find more stuff to share with you. I know it's not important to share tours that are happening overseas, but this one is so ridiculous, I had to talk about it for a minute. I'm, I'm baffled. [laughs] Am I, am I like, uh, really awake? I got a call from a listener a little bit ago
who asked me what my favorite radio scene in a movie was, and I've still yet to come up with one. But there are a lot of great movies out there that deal with radio in some way or other, and some of them, it's been a while since I watched them. Gonna have to go back and watch them again. Uh, you know, a very radio-centric movie that I loved when I was younger, Airheads. You know, you got this band who wants to get their song on the radio, so they basically hijack a radio station. You know, they bring in these fake guns and, you know, are like, "All right, we're, we're not leaving till you play our song." And, uh, you know, as someone who worked in radio for a long time now,
you know, there's some themes in the movie that
definitely, uh, hit my heart. Now, the fear of a format flip. Now, format flip is when, say, you have a rock station, and then the bosses decide, "Well, I think that, uh, we could probably get more listeners if we flip it to easy listening." Oh! I hate when I see that happen to a rock station. That's, uh, one of the themes in the movie there. There's, of course, Howard Stern's Private Parts, which is, you know, basically the story of the life of legendary DJ, Howard Stern. Haven't watched that in a long time either. Uh, it's a movie I've seen countless times. Gonna have to watch that again. So, I tried to do some digging
and find lists of movies that deal with radio, and there are a lot of them that I haven't seen. Um, I mean, I think I've seen Good Morning, Vietnam,
but it would've been a long, long time ago. I don't know. I'm gonna have to check that one out. You know, it's, it's a classic film. Uh, let's see. Somebody mentioned the movie, The Warriors. I guess the, uh, radio DJ narrates their journey across town. I don't remember that angle of that movie at all. I've seen The Warriors multiple times, but when I think about that movie, I just think about the gang that dresses like baseball players and, uh, how silly that seems to me. Gonna have to watch The Warriors again. All right. You know, now they're mentioning Airheads here. There's, uh, another movie called Pirate Radio, and I don't think I've seen this movie. Is it, uh... I think it's a documentary. Let's see here. Oh, now I'm just bringing up articles about what is pirate radio, and that's when somebody sets up an illegal radio station. You'll get yourself in pretty serious trouble for that. You know, even though I'm sure it's fun, don't recommend doing it. Pump Up the Volume, haven't seen that either. Frequency. Hmm. Oh, they say it's ham radio, not broadcast.... and then, uh, somebody mentioned The Vast of Night, and I thought I've- I thought I watched that movie, like, recently. [laughs] My memory's terrible. No, I haven't seen this. I think I wanted to watch it, but never got around to watching it. And, uh, that one, uh, that, th- that's definitely people sitting in a radio studio. Yeah, I don't know. If you have any good radio movie m- recommendations, I do enjoy a good movie that has to do with the radio. Talk Radio by Oliver Stone. Huh. Haven't seen that either. Hmm. Well, anyway, uh, Sleepless in Seattle. Uh, it's a romance movie. They said maybe even a little silly for its time, too. [laughs] All right, we got somebody calling. Let's see what they got.
Hey, Barry. You're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this?
Hey, this is Kelly.
Kelly, you got a good, uh, radio-related movie?
My favorite show is Pump Up the Volume with Christian Slater.
Okay. That was one that was on the list here. And, uh-
Yeah. He'd pirate radios out of his basement.
I am gonna have to-
And, uh-
... check that one out.
The FCC gets involved and it is awesome.
All right. Pump Up the Volume. I wonder if it's available on streaming right now. Probably have to, like, rent it from Amazon. Yeah. Looks like you gotta-
Yeah, it's a-
... gotta rent it
... 1980s movie.
All right, dude. I'm gonna have to check that out. Christian Slater's good, so ...
Yeah.
All right, dude. Thanks for the recommendation.
Okay.
I'm gonna-
All right. Thank you.
I'm gonna make a list.
All right.
All right. Thanks, man. Peace.
Okay, see ya. All right, bye.
All right, I dumped out just in case that- I think that guy said, "Heck yeah," but [laughs] you can never be sure. Yeah. My hearing, not what it used to be. All right. Pump Up the Volume.
People look like ... I- it's got pretty good reviews. Not too shabby. Must be pretty good.
Do yourself a favor, and if you haven't listened to much Acid Bath before, fire up either of their two albums, When the Kite String Pops or Pagan Terrorism Tactics. Both of them, masterpieces. 10 out of 10. All right. Got yet another ding-dong ditch story. This time, out of the UK. And this one's a little bit different. So, there's this apartment complex ... Oh, sorry. Not the UK. This is in Germany. Anyway, apartment complex,
relentless buzzing of doorbells late at night. Bunch of neighbors decide to call the authorities. They're like, "These kids are driving us crazy." Now, unlike every one of these stories in the US, these people did not run outside with guns and just start, uh, blasting off rounds or trying to run over children. They called the authorities, who showed up,
and found out that a slug had been sliding up and down [laughs] people's doorbells. Yeah. Just driving people nuts. Just a slug. I, I love it. I love it. Can we, uh, have some slugs in the US start doing this? People just be blasting off rounds into the sky, "Where are you? Where are you kids? I've had it!"
Uh. I hope that the, uh, ding-dong ditch trend can just settle down. Yeah. We had somebody get killed playing ding-dong ditch a week or two ago. If s- if a teenager
or, or whoever rings your doorbell and runs away, just go sit back on the couch. You'll be okay. All right? It's all gonna be all right. [laughs]
It's a pretty fun slug. Well, I'm just sitting here watching a video of a old woman shooting an old man in the face with a flare gun in his driveway. [laughs] I, I know I shouldn't laugh, but what is going on? What is going on? So the guy's out walking his dog. Sorry, it was her driveway. Now, I guess these are a couple neighbors that live in a senior community. Just didn't get along in general, and, you know, they might argue about some things here and there. But it finally culminated with this amazing video shot by a, uh, Ring cam
of her just blasting him right in the face with a flare gun. And, uh, there's naughty language in it, so I can't play it for you, but, uh, [laughs] they, they interviewed the guy and he's got just this h- hideous wound on his face. And he's like, "I've lived in, you know, Brooklyn. Now, I move to this, uh, small senior community, and this what I gotta put up with here?" I don't know. It ... You know, just something funny about seeing old people fight, even though I don't think they should. Think it's bad. You know, getting in fights is bad, mkay? But, I mean, when you see an elderly woman ... These, these are two, like, really old people. And this elderly woman busts out the flare gun, broad daylight, [laughs] you know, and just blam. And I don't know, it just made me chuckle a little bit. I don't wanna see this type of behavior from anybody. All right? But I couldn't help but laugh 'cause the video was so wild. So, uh, you can Google it up. [laughs] There's, there's plenty of pages about it. But yeah.
E- the guy's all right. Okay? He's just got a, a face wound. He'll, he'll be okay. [laughs] Geez.
Animals continuing to fight back against the scourge that is people. There was a, uh, couple that were out walking their dog in the Austrian Alps, elderly couple, 85-year-old man and 82-year-old wife, and they were hiking toward a mountain hut.... when out of nowhere
a herd of nine cows, including three calves, charged and severely injured them. They killed the guy. The guy just
stomped to death by cows. And then, uh, the woman, you know, she's, she'd pretty messed up too. Um, the article says that fatal cow attacks are rare in that nation, but as we've learned on this program, I mean, cows kill a lot of people. You see them and you're like, "Oh, look at that cow. Look at those cows." Vicious beasts! Vicious beasts. So, um, yeah, you know when you're out hiking or camping on the public lands, and, you know, people got their cows grazing, there's cow pies all over the place, stay away from those cows! They might seriously mess you up. I think I'm more worried about cows now than, you know, bears in the woods or anything like that. Mountain lions. No, I see a cow, I'm like, you, you get... You get... Can you imagine getting stomped to death by a cow? That's a... It's not a great way to go. You know? If you're gonna get killed by an animal, you want it to be like a shark or, again, a bear or mountain lion. Something that, that people are like, "Well, yeah. No way he could have, uh, done anything about that." But there's probably not a lot of sympathy if you get killed by a cow. People are like, "You got killed by a cow? Really?" They're, they're mean! And they're big. You know? So, just wanted to warn you. Stay away from them farms. You know? Be careful while you're camping. [laughs] Sorry, I shouldn't laugh. I mean, the guy died. But,
you just don't tend to hear much about cow attacks. Tends to be, you know, bears and, uh... Anyway, somebody needs to make a documentary about that. You know? The vicious cow beasts. You know? Maybe it's good that we eat them! Sorry.
Have you seen the latest, uh, government UFO video? I, I was just begging for stuff the last few weeks and apparently they heard me. They're always listening. And a new video has been released showing a, a missile being shot at some, I- some UAP, an unidentified anomalous phenomena. And, uh, three Navy and Air Force veterans testified Tuesday at Capitol Hill at the third congressional hearing on UAPs that, uh,
the military's trying to cover it all up. Yeah, this, uh, footage is from late 2024 and it shows, uh... Yeah, them straight up shooting a missile at this, uh, mysterious orb which continued traveling at extin- extreme speed. You know, doing crazy maneuvers and things like that. Now, I'm still waiting for the 4K footage that the government was talking about a couple years ago. Like, super high quality 4K footage. 'Cause, I don't, I'm not gonna call this, like, super good quality footage. It's kind of like the, the Tic Tac video. But it's weird! It's weird. Are we going to have disclosure? Yeah. Are they eventually just gonna give us the truth? Probably not! [laughs]
I think we've all learned, uh, the government's gonna deny things til the end of time. "No, it's not real! Just ignore it! Put your head in the sand. Don't look at that, don't pay attention to it. Hey, look over here. Look, look! Squirrel!" All right. Anyway, if you haven't checked out the video, it's, it's, it's kinda cool. But again, it's, it's like the Tic Tac video, it's, you know, not super great quality. But,
you know, worth checking out. Um, if somebody contacts you online and they, you know, say they need help and they need money and you don't know them, you should probably, you know, think twice about sending them the money. Uh, this woman from Japan swindled out of about $7,000 after falling in love with a self-describe- self, self-described, jeez, astronaut. Said he was stuck in space under attack and in need of oxygen. Yeah, he's on a spaceship. So she, um, agreed to send him some money to help him buy oxygen. Got about seven grand. All right.
I need money, people. All right? [laughs] Things are tight.
Okay, I can't swindle anybody out of money. No, you, you can just donate to the cause. Figure out what my Venmo is. [laughs] You got money burning a hole in your pocket that someone, you know, you've fallen in love with online is asking for that money? You, you can send it to me. Okay? They're probably not really, uh, who they say they are. You know, if Brad Pitt's been messaging you saying he's hard up for cash, it's probably not him. All right? If it's an astronaut in space who needs to buy oxygen to survive, uh, it's probably not true. You could contact NASA, you know, or some type of government agency. Find out if that's for real. Again, yeah, if you've got money just burning a hole in your pocket that you want to throw in the garbage, um, make that garbage can my wallet. All right, what else do we have here? Oh! I hate mosquitoes. Um, I think they're a scourge. They kill people. And, uh, I've got, you know, mosquito allergies so I don't like it when they bite me. It's sucks, it's annoying. Well, apparently if you want to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes, you need to avoid beer and you also need to avoid getting it on. Yeah."... mosquitoes seem l- to like beer drinkers who have recently gotten it on." That's what this, uh, article says. Now, [laughs] who knows? We've seen a lot of studies done over the years but, you know, where mosquitoes kill
about 2.7 million people every year. Can you believe that number? 2.7 million deaths from diseases passed by mosquitoes every year,
and then millions more just, you know, get really sick.
I guess you gotta avoid drinking beer, getting it on, so
yeah. [laughs] Have fun with that camping, huh? [laughs] Stupid mosquitoes. Oh, they're awful. They are just the worst. [rock music] Okay, I've got a request for you. I'm begging you, please listen. Please listen to what I have to say. Okay? It's the only time I'm gonna get political on the show today, and I'm not even gonna say anything specific. We have elections coming up in November
for all kinds of different local offices and positions. Please, for the love of all that is good, educate yourself on the candidates. Please. Please. We've all seen some of the crazy stuff going down here in Idaho in the last, you know, nine months or so,
and I've seen, you know, pretty much universal, uh, [laughs] discontent about these things. Please educate yourself on the candidates prior to voting. My homies down the hall at East Idaho News have been doing a good job putting out videos and interviews and such with some of the candidates running for things like city council, uh, mayor, in a variety of East Idaho cities. If you go to eastidahonews.com, and then go to Sections, and then go to Politics, you can watch these interviews. You know, get to know these people a little bit. Get to know what, what they wanna do for our communities,
and then you can research further. You know, they should all, if they're, you know, actually trying, they should all have social media or websites that go over their various views and, you know, platforms and what they wanna do. You've got till November to get to know these people. You've got almost two months till the election. Please, what? Get out and vote. Local elections are so much more important than things like, you know, the presidential election, 'cause the presidential election is decided by, like, seven states, due to the, what in my opinion is a scam, the electoral college. It, it's why candidates only campaign in, like, seven states. You know, it's dumb. But local elections, hardly... If, if you look at the voter turnout for local elections, it's terrible. It's year after year, just horrible. And it's not hard to get out and vote. Bring a piece of mail and your ID, get yourself over, you know, to the polls. They can register you at the polls, and then you vote. But make sure beforehand that you educate yourself on the candidates, all right? 'Cause we've seen a lot of people disappointed in their representatives, but a lot of people just tend to vote based on the letter next to the name. And it's okay to try [laughs] something different if you're not happy with how things have been going, okay? Yeah, I, I know it's scary. It's scary to think about those other letters. Oh, no! But if you get to know the candidates and you're like, "You know what? I, I like what this person has to say. They seem like a good person." You know, you can, you can get people's vibes. You can feel the vibes off of people watching a video of them talking. Like, "That guy seemed like a liar and a weasel. I'm glad I watched his video, 'cause I was gonna vote for him." You know, don't just, like, see a sign on the side of the road and be like, "Oh, that one looks good." No, you gotta educate yourself, but please, please, I would love to see record turnout for the local elections in November, 'cause the, the turnout always sucks so bad. And then you've got just a handful of people
deciding who's, who's in charge around here. You know, use your, use your voice. Use the power of your vote. But again, just please, please educate yourself [laughs] on the candidates. Could save so many problems if people just got to know who they're voting for, and East Idaho News is doing a great job getting this information out there. Again, under Sections, Politics, just start scrolling through there. There's gonna be other political news in there, but you'll see all of the different East Idaho Elects. You can also just click East Idaho Elects, um, or go to eastidahonews.com/news/east-idaho-elects and look at all of the different information on people running for, um, mayoral and city council offices in basically every s- you know, city and town in East Idaho. Okay? Please, please, for the love of all that's good, [laughs] put a little effort into this one. [rock music] Okay. I know a few minutes ago I said the only time I was gonna get at all political was just encouraging people to get out and vote and, uh, educate themselves on the, uh, candidates. Then I stumbled across this article.[heavy metal music] 88-year-old House Democrat says she's running again. "I'm not going to step aside." 88! At what point can you not just kick back and enjoy life? Now listen, if you're in your 80s listening to K-Bear, that's fantastic. It's no- nothing against you. But we need to see what they call generational change, all right? [laughs] We gotta get these old fogeys out, all right? I'm sorry, but, you know, we had a number of members of Congress die of old age in the last year,
and, I mean, there are tons of people
in Congress that are, you know, 80-plus. It's just too old. I- I'm not trying to, you know, be ageist here, but come on now. Step aside, lady.
And see, people are always like, "Oh, you know, Victor, you're a evil lib." Now listen, this is an article about the Democrats. They got more old fogeys in Congress than the other side. Enough all right, get some of these young people in that might get people excited, [laughs] you know? Might have some fresh, new ideas. I mean, i- it's 2025, okay? If somebody was born in the '40s,
I don't know, they might be a little bit out of touch with modern society. Uh, j- just saying when it comes to setting policy and laws. So, yeah. Uh, I tell you, the- the Dems are never gonna get it together. [laughs] They're never gonna figure out wha- what- what would get their base excited. Yeah. Both sides, it just drive me nuts. [laughs] Anyway, sorry, sorry older people. I... You're great. You're listening to my show, you're awesome. You're not running for Congress, right? Or local office? Just w- just wanna be sure. [heavy metal music] All right, we're heading into that time of year where sickness starts making the rounds, you know, 'cause everybody gets stuck inside together this time of year. Came across a thread, "People who rarely get sick, what's your secret?" And I need to read through this 'cause I ain't got no time available to be getting sick. Only hiding from people. Stay away from me! Wash your hands! All right, let's see what people are saying. Sleep tips. "Sleep like it's a competitive sport." Oh, that's probably my biggest failure. You know, the time I have to wake up in the morning, it's just almost impossible to go to bed when I would need to to get, like, eight hours of sleep. I'd have to be out cold at, like, nine o'clock. Like, not just in bed, but asleep. You know how hard that is?
At least for me, it's not natural. I don't know. Working on it. I'm doing better. Doing better lately. You know? But yeah, try to get as much sleep as you can. It's very good for you, and, uh, if you have sleep struggles, make sure to go to a sleep doctor. You know, they can, uh, diagnose certain things you might not even know were going on. Maybe you thrash around in your sleep. Maybe you got restless leg. Maybe you got sleep apnea. Who knows? Best to get it checked out if you're, you know, just tired all the time. All right, let's see. What else do we got here? Um, [laughs] "Avoid human contact." That is a good way to avoid getting sick, 'cause it's them other people packing that sickness. So stay back. Stay away from me. Ain't nobody got time to be getting sick. Let's see here. Oh, t- "Don't have kids." Not joking, I used to never get sick ever. Now, I've been sick once a month as long as my kids been alive. Yet, you know, 'cause kids go to school, and there's a bunch of other kids crammed into that small space, and then they bring that sickness home. Eh, it's what they do. I used to be sick a lot when I had two kids living in my house, especially when they were in high school. You know, I don't- I don't know what it is, but, um,
I don't know, you can't really, uh, avoid your children, so
only way to avoid it, just don't have 'em. [laughs] But having kids is pretty great, I gotta say. My kids are awesome.
Let's see here. [laughs] Homeschool your kids. Okay, let's see. "Wash your hands!" There we go. There's another one. Wash your hands.
Need to, uh, make sure I'm packing hand sanitizer. And I wash my hands, you know, like, if- anytime there's a chance that I'm going to touch something that's then going to enter my body, like if I'm gonna eat a sandwich, I definitely wash my hands beforehand, 'cause y- you never know what you've touched from some other dirty person who doesn't wash their hands.
"Hold your breath when people sneeze."
How about, "Cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough"? Ugh, I get so mad when I'm at the grocery store [laughs] and somebody's just
[imitates heavy creaking sneeze] and they're not covering their mouth. I'm like, "Wh- you shouldn't be allowed in public. You, get!" Think they should kick people out of businesses for that. [laughs] Yeah, and if you're gonna sneeze, like, don't sneeze into your hand 'cause then you're gonna touch something. Sneeze, like, into your- your sleeve or something, 'kay? Yeah, and if you're gonna cough, yeah, d- don't cough into your hands either, 'cause then you're gonna touch stuff and you're gonna make me sick. [laughs] "Don't work in hospitals." Yeah, I guess, uh, if you work at a place where, uh, people come in and they're sick, you know, I applaud you. [clapping] You're doing good. You're doing good for the people of this planet.[instrumental music] But I bet you get sick, 'cause people are bringing in all kinds of stuff. Oh, don't chew your nails. Yes, back to wash your hands. Mm-hmm.
Do you know where your hands have been? Have you touched any, you know, gas station doors recently? Any public doorknobs? Maybe a railing? Yeah, don't put your hands in your mouth when they're not clean.
All right, it, it seems to be that people are saying sleep a lot, [laughs] wash your hands,
and then, of course, you know, things like healthy eating and exercise here. That's, you know, that's probably good for you as well. Uh, but just be aware in public. People are gross. Yeah. Y- you go get some gas, you think people are washing their hands before you pump gas? No. Just making you sick. Speaking of people who make me sick, every time I see his face, he makes me sick.
Look, I turned the right mic on.
You didn't at first though.
I didn't at first.
I was gonna yell at you.
[laughs] Did you wash your hands before touching that microphone?
Don't you think people wash their hands before touching that board?
[laughs] I do.
You know who else sits in here?
Ah, Peaches. Wash your hands, Peaches. [laughs]
[laughs]
Speaking of which, uh, uh, it's about that time of year. Where... When is, uh, the supplies of hand sanitizer and, uh, your cleansing sprays and things coming in?
[laughs]
Hurry. [laughs] I'm worried. It's that COVID time of year for Victor.
[laughs]
That's your own fault-
It's not my own fault
... for being a dirty fool.
No, excuse me.
You've gotten COVID more than anyone I know.
It's 'cause of all those other dirty people-
You know-
... who are out packing COVID in public. And they're just-
Uh, it's because you're-
[laughs] coughing, rubbing-
You just don't know how to wash your hands and not touch your face.
I try to wash my hands and not touch my face.
Yeah, but you don't know how.
I do too. I wash my hands all the time.
There is no try, there is only do.
[laughs]
Please don't tell me you're bringing me more work.
Of course I am.
Oh. I hate you. Hate your guts.
[laughs]
I'm gonna cough in your face. [laughs] I might be sick.
Well, I won't get COVID.
I know, you never do.
[laughs]
It's only me.
I know.
[laughs] And then I was reading there trying to... like, I wanted to go get a shot. I know people hate that. Sorry, some of you. But like, I called to see, they didn't have 'em. And then I saw that now they're only giving them to the old fogeys. You know, you gotta be like 65 plus.
[laughs]
My body, my right. I should be able to put whatever kinda microchips in my bloodstream that I want.
[laughs] If they saw you, they would know. You qualify as a 65-year-old man.
I think I should be able to tell 'em, "I get it every time, please."
[laughs]
[laughs] It, it's, it's attracted to me like, uh,
l- like I don't know what. It sticks to me like glue.
Thinking about when that came out and all that was happening. You remember how peaceful it was in the studio-
Oh
... when it was just me and you in the whole building?
Dude, it was great. It was so quiet around here.
[laughs] We got a lot done.
Yeah, we got too much done.
[laughs] That's the problem.
[laughs]
It opened up all kinds of opportunities for more stuff to get done.
Oh. And then did we get any thanks for it? No.
[laughs]
Get yelled at for trying to offer up suggestions on how to make things better.
[laughs] Better shut your mouth, Victor.
That's right. Get shamed, demoted.
[laughs]
For no reason. For doing your job right. [laughs]
[laughs]
What a jerk. [laughs]
[laughs] Ugh.
All right. Anyway, I got it out of my system.
Can't wait.
Wash your hands, people.
Can't wait till you get COVID again.
I'm not gonna get it.
Oh, yeah, you will.
I'm gonna-
And it'll be great this time because you don't have any vacation left. [laughs] So, you're just gonna-
I know. I'm gonna get fired. [laughs]
[laughs] I've been waiting for this day-
[laughs]
... for so long.
I just want to use my vacation for fun stuff.
Oh, you're about to have permanent vacations.
No, I can't afford that. [laughs]
[laughs]
Times are rough out there. I don't know if you know.
That's what you get for taking on the zoo.
Ugh. The, the zoo's not gonna make me sick.
Yeah.
So, the people that-
It's just more mouths to feed. I don't know, they could make you sick. Have you heard about the things that cats can do to you with just a scratch?
Dude, you should see all... A cat scratch is all over me.
Yeah. You should look that up. People dying from a cat scratch.
Dude, if I died from a cat scratch, I'd be furious.
Where do you think cat scratch fever came from?
[laughs] T- Ted Nugent's drug-addled mind. [laughs]
[laughs]
[instrumental music] Well, you can see that band right here in East Idaho, October 10th with In This Moment. That was-
What the fuck you saying now?
Oh, that time I turned the wrong mic on.
Oh, of course you did.
[laughs] Dayseeker. Jade and I were just talking about shows, 'cause we haven't gone out of town for a show for a bit. We went and saw the, uh, last podcast double-nighter.
Yep.
Yeah.
That was an experience.
[laughs] Call over to Classy and ask Josh about that experience.
[laughs] Why are we walking? Please let me use your phone.
I don't want your water.
[laughs] Your water sucks.
I'm so thirsty.
[laughs] Oh, I'm so thirsty.
Why are you leading me?
[laughs] Where are you taking me?
My house, it's right there.
[laughs]
We're 10 steps away.
I'm outta here.
I don't believe you.
[laughs] Time to dip.
[laughs]
Time to run and hide. [laughs] I'm finding a place to charge my phone.
[laughs] It's 10 steps that way. Nu-uh.
[laughs] I know that you guys are conspiring against me. [laughs]
[laughs]
Ah, you and me have a good time when we go out of town. [laughs]
It's a good time a few days later when we start laughing about it.
That's true.
Because in the moment, it's like-
[laughs]
... "What's happening?"
[laughs]
"I hate your face."
Well unfortunately, none of the upcoming shows are happening on a weekend, so I don't know when we're gonna be able to go see anything.
That's true, because we do need a day or two after the show, 'cause we're old.
Yes, yes. And we-
'Cause there's quite a few coming up, like Bring Me The Horizon.
Yeah, which is sadly on the same day as, uh, Chevelle.
Yep.
And it's a weekday, so.
Sleep Token?
Sleep Token's on a Sunday. You know, another one that, uh, gotta deal with taking a weekday off.
[laughs]
You know, 'cause d- driving back after a show?
No. Brutal.
No. [laughs] The last time I did that, I think it was, uh, me and Peaches, we went to Cody Jinks in Salt Lake, drove back af- after the show, and it was like-
Oh, me and you did it, uh, a couple of weeks later when they, uh, when he played in Jackson.
Wasn't, weren't they, like, really close together?
Yeah.
But see, driving back from Jackson's not like driving back from Salt Lake. And that show was kinda, kinda early, I think.
We didn't get back until like 2:00.
Really? Oh.
Yeah, it was terrible.
Sounds awful.
[laughs] And then, and then I think we went to work the next day [laughs].
Yeah, I know. And that's like just impossible.
That's probably the last show that I was part of a come back the same night adventure.
Yeah, I- I don't care to do that ever again now [laughs].
No.
No, I'm just too old. That's a young person's game. But yeah, there's so many good shows coming up. We were looking at, uh, was it in November? Thrice?
Yep.
That- that was on a weekend.
Yeah, that's like the 15th of November.
Yeah, so, uh-
Thrice is great live.
Dude, I- I'm pumped on that one. Thrice is really good. We were talking about 'em yesterday. Uh, I think you're more of a fan of the old-school Thrice than me. But I- I love their newer music. It's really good. They've d- just turned into this real unique-sounding band.
'Cause I'm an OG emo man.
You are an OG emo.
[laughs]
I've seen the photographic evidence.
[laughs]
[laughs] It's around.
I helped bring about that-
[laughs]
... that whole movement.
Well, you're kinda ... I guess I can't say you have a emo haircut now. That's- that's not emo.
I got the s- the stripes though.
[laughs] Yeah, but they're- they're-
[laughs] Except they're natural stripes.
They're natural stripes in your beard.
[laughs] You got the silver fox stripes.
[laughs] Ugh, I know, I'm waiting for you to like ... I'm trying to decide what this look needs to go with it. It- it looks like you need a motorcycle or something [laughs].
[laughs] I'm gonna put on my leather jacket, you go, "Maybe it'll burst into flames."
[laughs].
[laughs]. The leather will protect me.
That's right. You need to get yourself some chaps, buddy [laughs].
It's probably a good thing that I didn't have the emo look when, uh, my razor burst into flames. I would've ... My hair would've just went poof as well.
I- I can't believe your beard didn't burn up.
Right?
I mean, that's a- that's a lotta beard.
I was more concerned about that than my ankle.
[laughs]
Like, "Don't snitch my beard!"
No, I need this beard!
Half my leg hair's gone, half the skin on my ankle's gone.
[laughs] Now you have dead people skin [laughs].
[laughs] Not anymore.
Well now, it's- it's alive again?
Well, it's kind of.
Sort of?
They- they tore the dead people skin off me awhile back.
Oh, I guess that-
That was a fun experience.
Yeah, that sounds fun. So, they, uh, surgically attach it to you?
Yep. The cadaver skin they put on as like a- a pre- pre thing for your own skin graft-
Oh?
... to kinda get it ready, from what they described to me.
Okay.
So, when it comes time to take it off, they just, like a fresh Bandaid [screams].
So-
[laughs]
... do you just regrow your own skin or did they have to take some skin off your butt cheek or something?
No, um, mine fortunately wasn't bad enough. At- at one point, it was where they were like, "Well, we could just watch it and see what it does-"
Mm-hmm.
"... or we can just give you another surgery and do a- a- a s- your own skin graft."
Okay.
An autograft is what they call that one. Um, but we opted just to watch it grow back, so I still have a giant hole in my ankle. It's gross.
Oh, that is gross.
Yep. It's right in the g- great spot where like the shoe and the sock-
[laughs] Oh!
... and the pant leg all meet together and just rubs, and it's-
[laughs] That sounds great.
... right in the- the- you know, the fulcrum point of your ankle.
Yeah.
It's gross.
That sounds great [laughs].
So [laughs], but the- the ca- cadaver part they left on there for a week. They sometimes leave it for two. They left mine on for a week.
Uh-huh?
And as they're pulling it off, it's tearing the new skin that grew underneath.
[gasps]
[laughs] And I'm just holding onto the chair, shaking and sweating-
[screams]
... trying not to throw up.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
One of-
Did they let you keep the chunk of dead skin?
No, I should've asked [laughs].
You should've.
But at the time, I'm like [gasping].
That was like, you know, it's one of those things you don't think of is asking when they, you know, remove part of you if you can have it. When I got the snip, you know?
[laughs] Yep.
I was like-
I want it
... "Can I keep that?" [laughs]
[laughs]
So, I have it in a little jar on my bookshelf [laughs]. People occasionally will pick it up, they're like, "What is this?" Well-
[laughs] It's- it's rice.
[laughs] It kinda looks like a grain of rice.
I know [laughs].
[laughs]
Yeah. But having that cadaver skin torn off me was, uh, the pain threshold was comparable to having my jaw broken.
Oh.
When they had to pry it open and then X-ray me.
Oh!
'Cause you- you're in one of those mouth X-ray things, and you have to like bite down on it, and you're usually standing for 'em, right?
Oh.
And I'm just shaking on that one, having like a out-of-body experience. The cadaver skin was pretty close.
Oh. And then you got these jerks in other local bands making fun of you-
Yeah
... for getting your jaw broken [laughs].
Writing songs based upon my pain.
[laughs] What kind of jerk would do such a thing?
I don't know, he may or may not be sitting across from me right now-
[laughs]
... being fat.
[laughs].
Man, I kinda wish I would've went to that Pantera show, but didn't have the time. Boo!
Anyway, what's up people? I hope you at least have the time to kick back and relax here and there, maybe watch a good movie. I was just reading an article about the new Conjuring movie. I guess, uh, one of the Warrens' grandsons
says there's nothing at all real about The Conjuring Last Rites. And
I don't know if you're aware, but
to slap the label "based on a true story" on a movie, it doesn't really take much, you know [laughs]? There are a lot of movies out there "based on a true story" that are
like not really accurate whatsoever. You know, and, uh, if you've read much on the Warrens, you know, most of The Conjuring movies...... even though they're, I mean, they're fun movies, don't get me wrong. I enjoy them. They're fun to watch, good time. I wanna see the new one.
Yeah, they, yeah,
don't really match
what actually happened with the Warrens back at the time these events supposedly happened.
So, you know, just any time you see, "Based on a true story," take it with a grain of salt.
Let's see here. Bringin' up a list of movies that, uh, were not, not very accurate.
And like, what was the one that I was really trying to think of with, uh, Leonardo DiCaprio playing, like, this scam artist?
Oh, I don't know why I can't remember the name and it's not poppin' up on this current list I'm lookin' at. But there have been a few movies I watched where I'm like, "This is so unbelievable. I gotta look up more about it." And then, you read the true story and you're like, "Meh, what? What? That sucks! What is this?" So, anyway, I don't know why the Warren's grandson would be all upset. He's like, "I'm not even gonna go see it." I'm sure he's, uh, gettin' a little bit of dough out of this, you know? I'm sure the family [laughs] you know, signin' over the rights of the, the Warren stories, they, they're probably doin' okay, 'cause those movies are fairly popular. Y- you know, even amongst people who aren't, like, horror fans. Uh, we got somebody callin'. See what they want. K-Bear, you're live on the show, keep that in mind. Who's this?
Hey, this is Alex Voice coming from Bastrop, Texas.
Alex from Texas?
Man, I'd love to hear-
Yes sir, that's right.
Well, thank you for listenin'.
Just listenin' to K-Bear 101.
Heck yeah, man. I love it. And I, I guess you had a song request?
I do, I do. Man, I'd really love to hear The Sound of Truth from As I Lay Dying.
All right. Um, I will see if I have that in the system. Uh, 'cause I'm not sure if I do. But, uh, if I do, I will play it, and I appreciate you listenin'-
Okay
... from down South. I'm sorry when I make fun of Texas sometimes, Alec.
Do not worry.
[laughs]
I feel the same. I heard you the other day and you had me, you had me gigglin' my butt off.
[laughs] All right. Good, good.
[laughs]
You know? I, I trash-
Just not bring me some Anthrax.
All right, all right. We could definitely get you something goin', man.
There you go. That's what I like to hear.
Right on, dude. Well, have a good one, Alex. Thanks for listenin', man.
No, I appreciate it. Thank you.
Peace. Yeah, generally I'll start, uh, hollerin' at people when they're off topic, but if you're callin' from another state, all right, I'll, I'll be nice. [laughs] All right.
Well, I wanted to bring up my list of, uh, movies that many people have seen that are based on a true story,
but are, you know, just made up. But apparently that tab has disappeared, so
sorry that I suck. You know, it, it happens. Okay.
Forget it. Just forget it. [laughs] Let's, let's play some more music.
I don't know why I'm such an idiot and couldn't think of the name of that movie. It was Catch Me If You Can. Fun movie, pretty much completely made up. What up, Peaches?
What's happenin'?
I was startin' to wonder if you were here.
I am.
Ah. Just usually see you-
I'm just quiet
... much earlier. You're being quiet? I don't know. You're pretty loud in general.
Well, Justin's making a big ruckus out there.
What's he doing?
I don't know. He's just talking real loud in the hallway.
Talking loud in the hallway? Is he using inappropriate language?
No.
Okay, good. 'Cause I'd have to go out there and put the smack down. Be like, "You don't talk that way. I'm very offended." You know I don't like naughty word speeches.
That's right, you liberal.
That's right. I'm very, very, very offended all the time.
Woke workplace all the time.
Mm-hmm.
Woke place.
I was trashing the Dems earlier, so, you know, I hope everybody heard that. I hope you were paying attention. You know? Just talking about how we gotta get the old fogeys outta office.
Is it your new segment, I Don't Give A... Dem?
I Don't Give A... Dem. [laughs]
[laughs]
Uh, yeah. No, I don't care what side they're on, if they're 80 plus, gotta go, all right? I think 65 plus. Where were we talking about this yesterday?
Yeah. The new never mi- oh, geez. [clears throat] New Never Madness of Man.
New Never Madness of Man.
Yeah, I've had this like, plugged nose the entire time, so.
Ah, could be, uh, allergies.
Yeah.
Or it could be something you need to stay away from me if you picked up. [laughs] Wash your hands! Wash your hands!
I have been.
Okay, good.
Yeah.
Good. Yeah. Uh, it's been, you know, pretty good show today, Peaches. I know listeners are patiently waiting to see if I give away some Mudvayne tickets. I've had a few people call and I'm like, "Not yet. Not yet." So, we got 15 minutes of show left. It's possible before the end of the show I'll give away some tickets to Mudvayne.
I just finished the promo we're announcing on, uh, Friday.
All right, cool. That's another fun one. We've got some really good giveaways coming up.
We got two next week.
I know, and they're both good.
Yeah.
They're both gonna be good. So if you like winning free stuff, you're listening to the right radio station. This week, Mudvayne, Static X and Vended tickets. All you gotta do is listen for back to back tracks. If you hear two in a row from any of those bands, be caller number 20 when the second song starts and you win.
I just realized, are you wearing your band's T-shirt?
I am wearing my own band's T-shirt, that's right. This is a classic. It's the Reptilians Jankem shirt.
Oh, nice. Nice.
Yeah. [laughs]
[laughs] I don't give a dem.
I don't give a dem. [laughs] Ah. Anyway, keep listening. I might give away some stuff, or I might just be lying and then we do it later on. You never know.
Yeah.
That's why you gotta listen all day.
Sure.
You know, if you wanna win.
I could do it right before my show ends tonight.
I could do it during the 11 o'clock hour. You never know.
I might come in at 2:00 AM.
[laughs] That would be interesting. [laughs] Anyway, if you wanna get tickets, you can find the link in any of our apps or at the event calendar at riverbendmediagroup.com, 'cause the show's gonna be sick. It's Mudvayne, Static X and Vended. It's gonna be awesome. So if you don't go, you're a fool. You're a fool and, uh, you'll-
And these are pit tickets too.
Pit tickets. Ooh. I didn't know that. I, I, I don't like to say that sometimes in case I'm wrong.
It says-
You know?
... pit real big on the tickets behind you. They're right behind you in that little pile there.
Yeah, but I didn't look at 'em, so. That's, that's great. You can get right up front. Being in the pit at the port, pit at the port, it's the way to go.
Pit port.
Pit port. If you wanna win, keep listening. I might do it.
