#0407 - AI Killed A Farmer’s Crops And Then Explained Why It Killed Them - 08/11/2026

Tuesday arrives, and Viktor Wilt enters the building in the traditional condition of a man who would rather be at home playing video games than participating in society: exhausted, under-caffeinated, slightly annoyed by the sun, and approximately one-third of the way through an energy drink that he is already questioning because apparently even the liquid responsible for getting him through the morning is now making him feel like he is crawling out of his own skin. The weather is immediately placed on trial, with a 94-degree day looming before temperatures finally plunge toward the blessedly civilized 70s later in the week. Viktor dreams of cooler weather, hobbies, and not being personally assaulted by the sun every time he steps outside. The Tuesday mission is therefore established: survive the heat, survive the show, and somehow find enough material to fill several hours without completely dissolving into the carpet.

The first descent into madness begins with a discussion about expensive hobbies that are supposedly “worth every penny.” Viktor immediately realizes that he cannot afford any additional hobbies because existing responsibilities have already eaten his wallet alive, but that doesn't stop the conversation from producing an absolutely horrifying parade of financial sinkholes. Guitar is obviously one of them because apparently there is no final guitar, no final amplifier, and no point at which a guitarist can simply look around and say, “Yes, I have enough guitars now.” Viktor recently acquired a $25 amplifier at a yard sale and then discovered the tubes required to repair it would cost considerably more than the amplifier itself, which is perhaps the purest possible expression of the phrase “cheap purchase, expensive mistake.” Gardening also makes the list, although Viktor's flowers apparently entered a mass extinction event after one missed watering during the extreme heat, followed by the discovery that even the replacement hose was apparently a defective piece of garbage. Then there are pets, where four cats, a medium-sized dog, a gecko requiring a steady supply of bugs, veterinary bills, food, toys, and the occasional feline sleep assassination combine into what is essentially a furry organized-crime syndicate extracting money from the household.

The expensive-hobby discussion eventually reaches home gyms, cycling, musical instruments, flying airplanes, scuba diving, and astrophotography, at which point Viktor essentially admits that his preferred financial strategy is not actually having money but making everything look like he has money by buying it used. His house is described as a monument to thrift stores and Facebook Marketplace, with only a handful of possessions escaping the secondhand economy. The gym membership gets an especially brutal examination because Viktor owns one and has apparently used it exactly zero times, making the gym membership less of a fitness investment and more of a monthly charitable donation to an institution he refuses to visit.

Then the show swerves into the question of lifestyle habits young people are treating as normal that might actually be ticking time bombs. Viktor immediately targets addictive substances, specifically booze and nicotine, before getting into the much more modern question of using AI to get through school. The discussion turns into a philosophical brawl over whether students using AI are actually becoming less capable or whether certain school subjects simply aren't useful enough to justify the suffering required to master them. Viktor's position is basically that reading a book, playing a video game, learning guitar, and figuring out how to obtain a home loan might all be more intellectually useful than memorizing algebra that someone will never voluntarily encounter again. He also pushes back against the idea that young people are universally incapable of social interaction without a phone, citing his own observations of younger people who seem perfectly capable of interacting with other humans despite possessing smartphones.

The social-media portion gets considerably darker when Viktor starts talking about the permanent digital record of being young and stupid. He is profoundly grateful that his old MySpace existence has vanished into the digital graveyard because the thought of having teenage Viktor's complete online history available for modern employers is apparently enough to summon a demon. The warning is simple: go through your social media now and delete the stuff that could someday make a potential employer look at you and say, “Absolutely not.” The conversation then ricochets through bad lifting technique, high-protein diets with insufficient fiber, inactivity, inability to tolerate boredom, excessive screen consumption, emotional regulation, and the consequences of drinking multiple times a week until casual drinking evolves into something considerably uglier. Viktor speaks candidly about his own struggles with alcohol, describing the frustration of asking himself why he stopped and bought some again and why saying no can feel so difficult. It is one of the rare moments where the insanity of the show briefly gives way to something painfully honest.

After that emotional detour, Viktor returns to the ancient human question of whether hot weather or cold weather is worse. His conclusion is essentially that both are terrible and humanity should simply move somewhere where it is 70 degrees forever. San Diego is proposed as the theoretical solution, although the lottery is apparently required to make the dream financially possible. Winter gets dragged for snow, ice-covered roads, and the general experience of operating a vehicle while the planet tries to murder you, while summer gets blamed for mowing lawns and turning Viktor into a human puddle. There is no actual winner. Weather itself is declared the enemy.

Then comes perhaps the most bewildering news story of the morning: a Mississippi nonprofit taking 44 young people with disabilities alligator hunting. Viktor is not anti-hunting, despite describing himself as something of a hypocrite because he eats meat while feeling bad about killing animals, but the idea of introducing a group of kids to the great outdoors by having them participate in the process of hooking and eventually dispatching an alligator strikes him as absolutely bonkers. The mechanics make the story even more surreal: heavy fishing rods, weighted treble hooks, snagging the alligator, hauling it toward a boat, and ultimately letting participants experience the entire process. Viktor's alternative proposal is considerably more peaceful: take the kids boating, hiking, or on a trail. The mental image of a sixth grader showing up Monday morning and announcing to his classmates that he spent the weekend alligator hunting becomes the final absurd cherry on top.

The economic apocalypse continues with Starbucks layoffs and store closures, followed by Viktor connecting the situation to the broader misery engulfing radio. He notes layoffs throughout the radio industry, including people with decades of experience, and expresses a certain amount of admiration for anyone who finally reacts to getting fired by actually saying what they think instead of immediately performing the traditional corporate-radio ritual of pretending to be grateful while packing their belongings. Meanwhile, mosquitoes are supposedly declining across portions of the West and Midwest, which sounds fantastic to Viktor because mosquito bites apparently turn his body into a collection of enormous, painful, itchy welts. Unfortunately, the West Nile virus numbers are reportedly going the opposite direction, creating a deeply unpleasant statistical contradiction: fewer mosquitoes, somehow more West Nile. Viktor would still happily vote to delete mosquitoes from existence entirely.

Then comes the cautionary tale that may permanently damage the public's trust in artificial intelligence: a farmer in China apparently used AI advice concerning pest control, applied the resulting concoction to his crops, and destroyed approximately 25 acres. When he returned to the AI asking why his crops had died, the AI was apparently able to explain the chemical interactions that had caused the disaster. This creates the ultimate AI experience: “Here is advice,” followed by “Why did your advice destroy everything?” followed by an explanation of why the advice was bad. Viktor's reaction is essentially that you cannot win anymore.

Political commentary then enters the chat in the form of a woman from Kosovo hurling eggs at a prime minister while yelling “shame,” which Viktor finds substantially more entertaining than the normal political spectacle. This leads to an appreciation of C-SPAN because, in Viktor's opinion, the network's incredible ability to be boring is actually its greatest strength: instead of watching political commentary programs tell you what politicians supposedly mean, you can simply watch politicians talk and decide for yourself. The fantasy of American politicians getting hit by eggs then briefly becomes the preferred form of political accountability.

The giveaway machine kicks back into gear with Godsmack tickets, before Viktor turns his attention to a national White Claw concert-ticket promotion that he finds profoundly unimpressive. His argument is essentially that if a giant national company is going to advertise a huge concert-ticket giveaway, they should actually make it huge instead of giving away a relatively modest amount that doesn't feel particularly life-changing. Meanwhile, the local station is giving away Godsmack tickets all week, and the show also has tickets to the Crazy Figure Eight races at the Madison County Fairgrounds in Rexburg, where their own Maddie Kid is apparently sacrificing her Subaru to the gods of automotive destruction.

Then Viktor discovers that he has somehow completely lost track of the calendar and announces the Figure Eight race giveaway for Saturday when the event is actually Friday, August 14. Peaches storms in to correct him, resulting in an on-air emergency calendar intervention. Viktor embraces his stupidity, corrects the information, and continues giving away tickets anyway. The result is an unusually wholesome segment about supporting Maddie while she turns her own car into an airborne mechanical casualty. Racing starts at seven, and Viktor is now personally invested in seeing her win after she has apparently agreed to sacrifice the Subaru for the spectacle.

The show then launches into unpopular opinions, and civilization immediately begins collapsing. Wedding favors are declared useless because, according to Viktor, almost nobody wants another tiny commemorative object from somebody else's wedding. Then he escalates: maybe nobody actually wants to go to your wedding either. Weddings and funerals are both declared terrible experiences, with Viktor admitting that he has recently developed a powerful desire to stay inside his house and avoid society altogether. The discussion then moves to whether people should need a license to own a dog, which Viktor surprisingly entertains because some dog owners apparently have no idea how to control their animals. In a stunning display of governmental authoritarianism, Viktor briefly declares himself in favor of licensing dogs.

The internet itself is placed on trial next. Despite having more content than ever, it has somehow become dramatically more boring because a huge percentage of modern online material is lifeless AI-generated sludge. Viktor describes the modern internet as an endless landfill of automatically produced lists, incorrect images, generic explanations, and content that appears to have been assembled by a machine that has never experienced a human emotion. YouTube is specifically targeted, with Papa Meat receiving a rare endorsement as one of the remaining channels worth watching. Then the conversation wanders through bad modern cars, lane-keeping assistance, headlights bright enough to summon God, boring breadsticks, pretzels being essentially salty dry bread, and the extremely inflammatory opinion that chicken is better than beef. That last one is met with the appropriate level of outrage: immediate rejection.

The music argument becomes significantly more interesting when Viktor encounters a list of bands supposedly made worse by continuing to release music. Guns N' Roses is the first casualty, except Viktor refuses to participate in the consensus because he believes Chinese Democracy is the best Guns N' Roses album, which is approximately the musical equivalent of walking into a room full of dogs and announcing that you prefer cats. He argues that Use Your Illusion is better than Appetite for Destruction and refuses to accept the idea that Guns N' Roses simply declined over time. Metallica receives a more nuanced verdict as a roller coaster of peaks and valleys, while Motley Crue, the Chili Peppers, Muse, and others are similarly defended against simplistic “old good, new bad” thinking. Eventually Viktor lands on a more philosophical explanation: music hits differently when you're young, and nostalgia may be doing more work than anyone realizes.

Then comes the book apocalypse. Viktor discovers an article about the neuroscience behind compulsively buying books you don't have time to read and immediately realizes that this is basically a documentary about his own household. Becca's article describes a husband whose books have taken over shelves, closets, and living spaces, while Viktor casually reveals that he walked into the house with three new books the previous day and has more on the way. Peaches, in the process of selling off his possessions, has apparently become Viktor's newest literary supplier. Viktor even acquired one of Peaches' bookshelves but immediately encounters the tiny logistical problem of having absolutely nowhere to put it. The concept of “sundoku,” the practice of accumulating books without necessarily reading them, is introduced, and Viktor essentially accepts the diagnosis. He buys books because they're cheap, interesting, decorative, and because apparently the only acceptable number of books is “more.”

The Hugh Jackman portion then transforms the show into a low-budget Idaho celebrity manhunt. Peaches announces that Hugh Jackman is in Idaho and suggests getting him tickets to the Figure Eight race so he can potentially become Wolverine behind the wheel—or sit next to Maddie while she destroys the Subaru. The two discuss the strange public reaction to the station posting about Jackman's Idaho visit, with some people excited that a celebrity is around and others furious that anyone would dare acknowledge his existence. Viktor's counterargument is essentially that if a celebrity publicly posts a picture indicating they're in Idaho, perhaps people are allowed to know they're in Idaho.

From there, the celebrity conversation becomes increasingly deranged. Jimmy Fallon, Henry Winkler, and Jimmy Kimmel are mentioned as other famous people spotted around Idaho, while Viktor and Peaches joke about Hugh Jackman being an Australian invader who has somehow wandered into the Magic Valley. They debate why an A-list actor would voluntarily visit Twin Falls, Burley, Sun Valley, or Shoshone Falls, with Viktor suggesting that if he were famous, he'd deliberately visit random obscure places just to confuse everybody. Eventually Hugh Jackman's fitness background becomes part of the explanation, followed by a spectacular tangent about Australian wildlife threats, the smell of beet factories, and the inexplicably terrible name “Rupert.”

The Hugh Jackman conversation naturally becomes a discussion of The Prestige, which Viktor remembers as an excellent movie involving magicians, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson, and David Bowie. The movie gets enthusiastically endorsed as a top-tier magic movie, especially compared with the much more ridiculous Now You See Me. And just when the show has somehow gone from Idaho celebrity sightings to Christopher Nolan cinema, Viktor throws on Creed and moves onward because apparently there is no natural stopping point in this program.

The news cycle then delivers possibly the most magnificent stupid object of the entire episode: a gigantic 161-billion-strand ball of hair rolling through Manhattan. The absurd marketing stunt is apparently designed to promote a hair longevity serum, with the enormous hairball supposedly representing the number of hairs New Yorkers could retain by using the product. Viktor compares the monstrosity to a ball of Tribbles from Star Trek and imagines it becoming progressively more disgusting as it rolls through the streets of New York, absorbing humidity, dirt, garbage, and probably whatever unholy substances naturally accumulate on Manhattan pavement. He concludes that if you want to experience the hairball properly, you need to see it in person, because watching a video is like watching a concert online instead of actually attending it.

The final stretch descends directly into bodily catastrophe. Viktor warns listeners that “rock and roll all night” sounds fun but eventually catches up with your body, which leads into a discussion about partying, brains, and a mysterious hallway smell that Peaches identifies as something resembling a fart mixed with an aggressively over-sprayed department-store cologne. This somehow transitions into an Applebee's cheeseburger, which transitions into Viktor recalling the time he had an endoscopy and colonoscopy, went nearly two days without eating, and then immediately celebrated being allowed to eat again by attacking his digestive system with Freddy's double cheeseburgers, chili fries, and a concrete. His stomach responded with the fury of an ancient god, providing perhaps the perfect biological conclusion to an episode that had already featured dead crops, dying mosquitoes, sacrificed Subarus, giant hairballs, and a potential Australian Wolverine invasion.

The episode closes with Peaches preparing for an interview with Mirza from the band Siamese, while Viktor warns that this is essentially round two after a previous interview guest failed to show up. The threat is immediate and hilarious: if Siamese doesn't show, Peaches is apparently prepared to exile them from his musical library forever. Viktor and Peaches then sign off, promising to return at noon, leaving listeners with the knowledge that somehow this entire Tuesday survived long enough to reach its conclusion. It was a morning involving Godsmack tickets, Figure Eight racing, expensive hobbies, AI crop destruction, mosquito hatred, political egg throwing, book hoarding, Hugh Jackman, The Prestige, a 161-billion-strand Manhattan hairball, and the catastrophic decision to eat an enormous fast-food meal immediately after a colonoscopy. In other words, a completely normal Tuesday on The Viktor Wilt Show.

What is The Viktor Wilt Show?

The Viktor Wilt Show daily recap! If you miss the show weekdays from 6A-10A MST, you've come to the right place.

Speaker 1: We rollin' on a Tuesday. What up? It's Victor Will. It's morning. And happy to ya. Ugh. Getting rolling here. Didn't have any caffeine prior to coming, which is always a little weird when I walk in. I'm like, oh, it's nap time.

Oh. Guess I better pound down an energy drink. See if I can get all jacked up for ya. Hopefully plenty of fun to talk about today. Uh, we continue on with God Smack Ticket giveaways.

So that should be fun if you like free stuff. Uh, let's look at the weather real quick here. I think it was supposed to be getting a little bit cooler today, but like really dropping in a couple days. Yeah, today's still gonna be pretty toasty. Looking at a high of 94, but tomorrow we'll drop to a high of 86.

And then man, Thursday should be nice. High of 70, but scattered thunderstorm. So I don't know if it's a yard work day or not. Friday's gonna be similar, uh, but we shouldn't have any of these 100 degree or close to that days. Like at least for a week, hopefully. You never know with the weatherman though. Weatherman, sometimes very incorrect. So fingers crossed, because I could use a little bit cooler day.

That would be nice. Stepping out into that sun a few times recently. I'm just like, ugh. Enough.

Yuck. But anyhow, we here, we're live, and hopefully today is better than yesterday. I had a bit of a rough one yesterday, but we'll just have to see how it goes.

That's all you can do, right? I can't tell yet. But I'll start digging for some crap to talk about and return in just a moment. Thank you for tuning in as always. Let's have a good time. As is typical on a Tuesday, wishing I was home, just kicking back, maybe engaging in some hobbies.

Like video games. I think I'm too tired for the old guitar this morning. But that's because I'm uh only about a third of the way through this energy drink. I was looking at a thread about expensive hobbies that are worth every penny. Uh, guitar would be one of those. It's a hobby that you you can never have enough guitars.

You could always find a new one. Amps. Yeah, I I thought I was done with amps till this weekend. Now I only spent $25 on an amp at a yard sale. So that wasn't bad at all. But then I got looking at how much are the tubes for this thing gonna cost if I want to fix it.

Uh a lot more than I paid for the amp. So I don't know if I'm gonna be fixing that anytime soon. But I would uh I'd like to. I'd like to. Uh let's take a look at some expensive hobbies worth every penny. I can't afford any new hobbies. Yeah, gotta catch up some bills, seriously. But hey, you never know.

Maybe something will sound so fun that it's like alright, I'm gonna give it a shot. Gotta find something healthy to do. Investing in your garden.

Alright, they say if you have one, it costs you time, but is worth the investment. Um we bought a lot of flowers earlier this year. And uh the extreme heat, it's like we missed like a day of watering. Everything's dead.

Alright, everything's dead. That was an expensive hobby. I don't know if it was worth every penny because you put all this time into w I know it's just watering plants, but oh yeah, and then Becca mentioned the hose is messed up too.

See, simply buying flowers is an expensive hobby. Cause I had to buy a new hose this year, and then the hose is a piece of crap. How can a hose be a piece of crap?

That's a good question, but it just is. Uh, so I would imagine investing in your garden. That could have been a frustrating year as well. Glad we did not do that.

Let's see. What's some other expensive hobbies worth every penny? Owning a dog. They say owning a dog costs approximately 600 million dollars. Uh, pets in general, very expensive.

Yes. Those vet bills, and then I don't know if you're aware of this, but just like everything else, pet food has not gotten any cheaper. And when you have an army of cats, four cats, and then a medium-sized dog. And a gecko that needs to eat bugs. Gotta go buy him some bugs today. It adds up fast.

Plus, there's like toys and what whatever else. Alright, lack of sleep because the cat wants to wake you up. Yeah, Becca knows what I'm talking about. I hope Jess is not pestering you this morning. Alright, buying a full home gym in your garage.

Life changing. Alright, well. I've got uh some kettlebells and a treadmill.

Guess how much I've used those since I bought them. Yeah. Oh, there we go.

Musical instruments. Oh yeah. Get yourself a sweet new guitar ramp.

Heck yeah. Alright, I'm not gonna do that. I don't got the money for it. Cycling.

Okay. Yeah, I've bought a bicycle earlier this year. Used, cheap.

I buy everything used and cheap. Like if you came to my house, I've had this happen with people before. They come over and they're like, wow, you must have a lot of money. I'm like, no, I'm I ain't got a lot of money.

I need money. I just get my crap at thrift stores. You know. Very few things in my house did not come from like a thrift store or Facebook market. Yeah. Like the the only things I can think of, my TV, PlayStation, bed, my couch. I guess about the rest of it.

Yeah. I'm telling you, thrift stores, even though they've gotten to be more expensive, you can still find some pretty good deals. Facebook market's great.

It's probably about the only thing good about Facebook anymore. Funny, everyone here is just listing their hobbies, is what somebody pointed out. Sewing. Okay. Uh I know my daughter's into that kind of thing. I guess it could be fun. I took a sewing class in school, like junior high.

I remember it. Didn't scream out to me as like, I've gotta get myself a sewing machine, though. Alright, this person's talking about going to the gym. Gym membership. Guess who has one of those?

Hasn't used it once. Yeah. I know a guy.

Named me. Flying airplanes? Okay, now that's a that's gotta be a very expensive hobby.

That makes guitar look like nothing. What do you for do for fun? I got a plane. I just kind of fly around. Scuba diving, astrophotography. Yeah, I know uh Lou Brutus went over his camera gear with me, and uh, not cheap.

Not cheap for them lenses, though I do I would like to get a camera. Alright, well, we've uh made it through a bit of the show. Hopefully the rest of it goes nicely. Well uh see what I can find. Alright, hang on. Alright, somebody asked, the older generation. Oh, me. What's a lifestyle habit young people think is normal today, but is actually a ticking time bomb for their future.

Jeez. Uh any type of habit that uh could result in addiction and death, I I think I'd throw that right out there. Stay away from booze and nicotine, kids. Telling you.

Addictive and not good for ya, not good for you. Alright, first person who commented said, using AI to get through school. So it's not the fact that they're not learning anything in school, it's that they're physically changing their brains to be permanently dumber and lazier with no resilience or patience or ability to per to problem solve or figure out anything without assistance. Okay, I think it depends on the class.

You know, if you're dealing with algebra, any of the other things they teach you in high school that you're never gonna use in your life again, sure, it's a brain exercise. But you know what else is? Reading a book, okay?

Playing a video game. Yeah, it's a brain exercise. Teaches hand-eye coordination, keeps you engaged, keeps that brain, you know, firing on all cylinders.

You could use AI to get through some classes, because again, some classes, in my personal opinion, I don't care how much they exercise your mind, they're a waste of time, because you're never gonna use that again. Teach kids how to get a home loan, okay? Teach kids how to I I don't know, invest in the stock market or something. Not whatever algebra is.

You can tell I did not like that class. Alright, uh, what else uh is a ticking time bomb for the younger generation being unable to socially interact without a screen? Is that really a problem? I mean, okay, I think people using their phones too much is a problem.

But are young people unable to socially interact without a screen? Okay. My daughters.

I don't recall that being a problem with them. Alright, they're in their uh early 20s. Becca's daughter, she's like eight. Interacts just fine with other kids. She's great with other kids. So I don't know if there are children out there who are unable to socially interact without a screen.

I can look around this building. Peach is a younger person. He can certainly interact without a screen. I think that's just a boomer talk there.

Kids are always on their phone, they don't even know how to speak. Alright. What else do we got here? Vaping? I think that would go into that, you know, smoking nicotine camp. I anything that gets you hooked, like physically addicted.

I don't I don't think it's good, right? Like physically addicted. You'll get you'll, you know, have withdrawal symptoms if you stop. I don't think it's good for you.

So yeah, stay away from nicotine, kids. Oh, recording everything and putting your lives online. I am so glad that my MySpace page is gone. You younger people, I'm telling you, the day will come when you're gonna look back through your social media feed and be so embarrassed. I mean, I can look back on my Facebook feed and still be embarrassed, but it is not anywhere near as bad as it would have been had my teen years or early 20s on MySpace still been available online. Oh, it would be horrible.

Horrible. Take note, go through your social media now and clear out any posts that maybe a future employer might look at and go, alright, yeah, I don't really want this person representing my company. Clean up all of your socials. Because employers do look at your social media pages.

So if it's, I don't know, filled to the brim with foul content and profanity and craziness. It I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but what if it was a deal breaker when it came to getting a job? Wouldn't be good. All right, a good excuse to not carry heavy stuff. This guy says a lifestyle habit that's a ticking time bomb carrying heavy stuff. So I see young people working manual labor jobs day in and day out with bad lifting technique, lifting way more than they should. Their backs are going to give out by the time they're 40. I speak from personal experience. Uh higher movers.

Yeah. I really need to get that busted organ out of my basement. I wonder if I can like take it apart and take it out in pieces. The thing weighs a ton. What why? I had I'd have so much more storage space in the downstairs closet if I just got that stupid thing out of there. One of these days.

But the internet told me I can't carry heavy things. Yeah. Alright, this person's just babbling on and on. High protein diets that don't include anywhere near enough fiber.

Yeah, you gotta have a balanced diet. Uh, not knowing how to be bored. You don't need to be on a screen all the time.

Yep, it's 2026. You also don't Why do you need to be bored? Yes, you can sit there inside of your own mind and you know, do a little contemplating, a little bit of pondering. I'm gonna sit back and do a little bit of pondering now. But why should you have to be bored? Alright. Now you don't need to use your phone to cure boredom because that is gonna make you dumber.

Umline are sharing really stupid content that I think is making people dumber. But you could pick up a book, you could pick up a guitar, you can pick up a video game, uh, you can watch a movie, you there's so many different things. You can go for a walk, there's no reason to be bored, and you don't need to know how what do you mean not knowing how to be bored? Everybody knows how to be bored. That's a feeling. It's not a task.

It's not like you gotta practice it. Hold on, guys. I gotta I gotta work on my boredom for a while.

I'll be back in five minutes after I'm you know just sit there and watch paint dry. No, you're probably more disassociating. What else do we have here? Inactivity?

Yeah, I mean I should probably stand up when I do my radio show sometimes. Rational emotional control and thinking. That one's hard.

Yeah. It's very important to learn rational emotional control and thinking. Because you're gonna have conflicts, and you have to be able to work them out uh in a reasonable manner. Okay. Lot of people lacking in the rational, emotional control and thinking departments out there.

Uh, let's see. Lifestyle habits that are a ticking time bomb. Quitting anything uncomfortable.

Now, see that that doesn't answer the question, does it? If you're quitting something uncomfortable, that is a lifestyle habit that is good. Right?

You would think so. Consuming energy drinks like water. Where's my energy drink? No, I I don't know how people can stomach it doing too much energy drinks.

I would feel like I'm just gonna vomit everywhere. Alright, social media rot your brain. Yeah, we get it.

I already talked about that. Excessively drinking with your friends two to three times a week becomes the urge to drink by yourself when you get older and alone and depressed. Uh, true. Again, booze, physically addictive, bad stuff. You've heard me talk about my battle with it plenty.

It sucks, it's frustrating. You get mad at yourself, you're like, why? Why did I stop and buy some? Why can't I just say no? Why do I suck so much?

Uh, not to mention just feeling like garbage, you know, sometimes. Alright. I'm gonna take a break from this. And I don't know if we'll return to it or not.

I don't know what I'm doing. I'm drinking energy drinks like their water. I was reading through an argument online about living through or living in hot or cold places, and which one is better? Man, I am a whiner. Cause I don't like either. I would always think I'd go for hot.

Okay. I'm pretty sure if I had to pick between a really hot place and a really cold place, I'd go with hot. Um, because you have your escape from both. The person who started this argument, uh doesn't have an air conditioner, okay. They're living in Michigan, and I guess they've had some uh 87 degree weather and they're just dying. Oh, buy an air conditioner. They're like, well, we only have to deal with these temps for a month or two a year.

Well, okay. So you can sit around and whine about it for two months, or you can get an air conditioner. Otherwise, just deal with it. You have the same thing in winter to escape the cold, we have heat. But in winter, the cleanup.

I think it's worse. Like, dealing with mowing the lawn and that kind of stuff. I don't know why it doesn't seem as bad as dealing with snow. And I have a snowblower, which you know makes it a million times better than if you don't. Something about just that driving on the roads when they're covered in ice and it's just you know, ah. And I don't know, it seems like cooling down a vehicle. Well, is it quicker? I don't know. They both suck, but I think I would rather be trying to escape the weather outside and in a nice cool room than inside in a hot room when it's cold outside.

I don't know. I need to be able to move to San Diego where it's 70s, you know, just year round. Live outside of the city somewhere.

Gotta win the lotto for that, though. Most expensive place in the US, I do believe. Yep, you pay to have nice weather year round. Alright. Well, uh, I don't know if I would agree with this person that living in cold weather is vastly superior to living somewhere hot.

They both have their their things that suck. So this break was useless. You know, I think taking kids with disabilities out to enjoy the great outdoors or have fun doing activities is a good thing, obviously, but people in Mississippi are weird, man. South Mississippi nonprofit taking a record 44 young people with disabilities. Alligator hunting. Yeah, giving them the chance to experience one of Mississippi's most challenging outdoor tradition. We gon' go kill some gators, kids.

Come on! Um couldn't you just take them out on a boat? Like, why do they need to go out and kill gators? Sounds terrifying.

And I don't know. I like I'm certainly not anti-hunting. I come from a family of hunters. I don't hunt myself because I'm a hippie and I feel bad. I know. I eat meat.

I'm a total hypocrite. But I don't think I'd want to go gator hunting. Okay, here's what they do. Because I was getting curious how they gator hunt. I guess they use heavy fishing rods with weighted treble hooks to snag gators, and then they reel it toward the boat. Yeah, they get to feel the power of the alligator. They get to experience all everything. All the way to dispatching the gator.

Okay. And then the guy goes on to say, can you imagine a sixth grader going to school who has a disability, goes to school on Monday? Guess what I did this weekend? And showing him self alligator hunting in pictures.

Yeah, look at me. Um just take them boating, okay? Take them, take them out on a trail. I don't know. Again, that just seems weird to me, but that's me. I don't know.

Uh, what else do we got going on here? Starbucks laying off 900 employees when closing stores. Uh, at least 28 of them in Washington State. Uh, that's not good. Would imagine that uh could start coming our way then as well. I mean Starbucks is not the cheapest coffee, right? I think people are struggling a little bit right now.

So I am not surprised to see this. Cause uh you know me when it comes to coffee. Winco Classic Roast instant coffee, about as cheap as it gets. Well, sorry for those uh Starbucks employees. Radio's going through a bloodbath of firings right now as well. Uh cumulus radio just firing people all over the place. Some of them are like, you know, employees that have been there 30 years.

Uh it was nice to see one guy actually throw a tantrum. Usually radio people, when they get fired, they like just can't wait to move to Alabama and get a new radio job. So they play nice and they don't say anything bad about their previous employer or say, you know, this is a bunch of bull crap that I got fired. They're like, yeah, you know, I appreciate all my time and I'm grateful to uh iHeart Media for what they did for me.

You know, even though yeah, they uh just fired me after uh two years after I moved my family across the country. I appreciate it. Okay, sorry. Sorry, get carried away there.

Uh, what else we got going on? Uh mosquitoes are on the uh downfall. Apparently, mosquitoes le uh mosquito levels down 50% across some West western and midwest states.

But weird enough, the West Nile virus caseload has hit a 22 year high. I am not complaining if there are not mosquitoes out and about. I'm allergic to them. Sucks, I get sick when I get bit by them.

It's terrible. Reminds me, I should probably take a Zertech. Allergies. Um I mean, I would not be sad if mosquitoes were eradicated from this planet, and I believe it wouldn't hurt anything. Uh, from all of the research I've seen by scrolling social media over the years.

I I think we'd be fine without mosquitoes, but it does seem like if all the mosquitoes are just dying off, that's weird. That doesn't seem right. Alright, uh, do we have anything positive? Everyone's getting fired. The bugs are dying. Oh, don't use chat GPT to give you advice on how to uh treat your crops for pests. This farmer in China, he learned the hard way. Took a little bit of uh weed and pest control advice from some type of AI, and it gave him this concoction that just wiped out 25 acres of his crops. So then he went back to the AI. Why did this happen? And then the AI told him why. You know, the various types of plants he was growing, certain chemicals are gonna interact with them.

Uh yeah. You'd think a farmer would know, but I don't maybe this is one of those cost things. You know, they're trying to figure out uh cheaper means of uh fertilizer and pest control and things like that.

So they go to chat GPT, and then uh here all your crops are dead. Uh, you just can't win nowadays. Okay, this one. Co Sovin, is that how you'd say it? Somebody from Kosovo, Kosovin, lawnmaker, hurls eggs at the prime minister.

Alright. You you ever watch C Span? It's the most boring channel ever, but everybody should watch it instead of watching like Fox News and CNN. Just watch C Span. It's boring, but you can sit there and listen to what the politicians are saying and what they're actually doing all day long. Yeah, rather than get uh get spin, you can just get the news.

But you never see them hucking eggs. And I want to see a little bit more of that. Alright. There's a lot of talk that goes on. These guys are all talk. Yeah, all talk no eggs. Did they uh arrest her?

I don't know. She was just hucking eggs and yelling, shame, shame. That would be hilarious to see.

Here in the US. Oh, whoever got hit by the eggs would just be crying. They assaulted me. They It hurts. Bunch of crybabies in politics, I tell you. That's all I see on my Facebook feed. Politicians on both sides crying and boo-hooing.

We're also picked on. Get a new job, you bums. Alright. We've reached eight. That's good.

It's not late enough, but better than seven. Sometimes you just gotta hear some typo negative. What's up, people?

Welcome to the program. It's the Victor Wilt Show. Last night I was scrolling Facebook and I saw this, or maybe it was Instagram. I don't know. But I saw a post from White Claw about their big promotion. Win 1,000 of concert tickets. And I doesn't look like anyone in the comments was any more impressed than me about that giveaway there. Uh K-Bair gives away a thousand dollars of concert tickets like every week.

You know, all the time. This is not a very exciting promotion for a massive national company. Why don't you give away a hundred thousand dollars worth of concert tickets?

Then people could go to at least like three shows. Come on. Yeah, and we're hooking up Godsmack tickets all week, so keep listening for your chance to win.

I've got other stuff to give away as well. We got a crazy figure eight race going down at the Madison County Fairgrounds this weekend, August 14th. And our own Maddie Kid is going to be racing in the Figure Eight races. So if you've heard Maddie on air before or met her out with me in Peaches at a show, she is going to be racing in the Crazy Figure Eight race.

So you should get out there and cheer her on. That's this Saturday, Madison County Fairgrounds in Rexburg, and I got free tickets. You want to go? I'm gonna hook up the first three people who call me with tickets to go to the figure eight race for free. That's again this Saturday, so please only call if you're gonna go. And you gotta be able to pick these up at the studio by five o'clock on Friday. So 208-535-1015 if you'd like to go to the crazy figure eight races.

The first three people that call me, I'll get you all hooked up. But get out there and cheer Maddie on. Figure eight races, lots of fun. And I might have to try to make it out. I haven't been to a figure eight race in Rexburg.

Plus, if I recall correctly, the weather this weekend was supposed to be a little bit better than it has been. Anyway, call me now. First three people that call, I will hook you up with tickets to the crazy figure eight race. It should be a really nice day for them. Alright, so Peaches came running over to uh yell at me and tell me the races are on Friday, man. The 14th's Friday.

Speaker 2: I felt like pig vomit from private parsers were sprinting over here.

Speaker 1: That's right. Quit a eavesdropping on me, but I'm glad you did so I could let the listeners know if they want to get out and support Maddie at the Figure Eight races at the Madison Fairgrounds in Rexburg. That's happening Friday.

Speaker 2: I think it's so funny. This usually happens at the Rigby Fairgrounds, and the one time Maddie participates, it's at the Madison County Fairgrounds.

Speaker 1: She better win.

Speaker 2: She better win. She's sacrificing her old Subaru for this.

Speaker 1: Yeah, she's using her own car and get it destroyed. It's gonna be awesome. Uh racing starts at seven. And since I gave the wrong day, because I'm dumb. Uh, if you've got nothing going on Friday and you want to go to the crazy figure eight races, I'll hook up some more tickets. All right.

Speaker 2: I have two stations worth of pile uh of tickets in the Z studios, if you need extra.

Speaker 1: Ah, and uh they can sign up in the Z103 app as well. Right now they can, yes. Okay, so if you want to go, I'll hook up the next couple people that call with tickets as well. The races are Friday, a few days from now. The 14th is not Saturday.

I'm dumb. 208-535-1015. Next couple people to call, uh hooky up. All right, let's do some one of Peach's very favorite bands, the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

He loves all California. Give it away, give it away now. What's up, people?

Welcome to the sadly only Tuesday edition of the Victor Wilt show, but it's better than Monday. Let's take a look at some unpopular opinions online. Sometimes these are fun, and sometimes I agree with them. So let's see what we got.

If they're truly unpopular, then I would assume we're all gonna disagree, right? No one wants to bring home anything from your wedding. Wedding favors, handmade centerpieces, keepsake menus, uh, whatever. Don't make 150 dude ads to hand out. 149 will go in the trash.

I mean, I think I'd take it a step further. No one wants to bring home anything from your wedding. But I also think nobody wants to go to your wedding. Alright. I mean, seriously.

Who like enjoys going to weddings or funerals? They're both terrible. Alright. I mean, funerals are worse, obviously.

But I don't know. I've become a real uh stay at home in the last week or so. I want to hide in my house.

I just wanna hide in there and I I don't know. But not go to a wedding. Thankfully, only got one of those planned. That better be the only one I'm invited to. Sorry.

Invite somebody else. They'll be happy. Peaches loves weddings, I think.

You can invite him. Uh, let's see. Other unpopular opinions. You should have to get a license to have a dog.

Hmm. I mean, there are horrible pet owners out there. License to get a dog. I don't know, they they sure charge us enough as it is for everything pet related, but maybe some kind of training.

Cause like some people know how to teach their dogs to behave, and other people just don't. And yeah, so okay. License it is. I'm calling for more government restrictions. Yeah.

Alright. This person says the internet has gotten way more boring despite having more content than ever. Um More doesn't mean better.

For sure. Like most online content is terrible. Okay, fire up YouTube, click a random video.

Half the videos on there now are made by AI. You know, they got all the life sucked out of them. But like, hey, here's the top 10 small towns people are moving to, and they don't even have the right pictures. Uh, it's just bad content. That's why it's boring. That's why you gotta watch the Papa Meat channel, I guess. It's about all that's good on YouTube anymore.

Unless you enjoy watching a little bit of political talk. I do like that. Yeah.

It can be pretty fun. I'm Get in the comments. You're an idiot! Alright, what else do we have here?

For unpopular opinions. Uh, movies need to stop casting the same 20 actors. Um, I don't think that's a major problem. This person says they like mosquito bites. We were talking earlier about mosquitoes dying off.

I think that's great. I hate mosquitoes because I'm allergic and they make me really like, you know, sick. They swell up, they're really like nasty looking big welts, and then I just feel like I'm gonna die. This person's like, I love them. They said I went out yesterday looking for bones and skulls, or whatever was cool, bugs and whatnot. I was standing next to a creek and some wet leaves and grass and got lit up by mosquitoes. They itch so bad, but so good. These have gotta be some of the worst mosquito bites I've had.

Either that or they were on me until they couldn't anymore. I had six giant welts on my legs and ankles. I guess it's the itch scratch process. Oh that makes me sick to my stomach to even think about. One big welt, and I like get woozy.

I like them. Oh, he's just sitting there scratching the crap out of himself. Oh, Ugh. that just made me like totally creepy crawly to think about being covered with mosquito bites. Oh, I hate it so much. Um, let's see here.

Modern cars are terrible and actively make driving more dangerous. Let's see. Okay, lane keep assist. That's sketchy. That's where your vehicle will just kind of keep you in the lines. But I was talking with a friend who has this in his truck, and he put some different tires on, and now it doesn't work properly. So you have to have everything set up perfect.

And also, what if uh you're just not paying attention because you're relying on lane assist and something runs out into the street? Yeah. I mean, I guess a lot of the modern technology could be a little bit dangerous. Yeah.

When you think about it. Here's somebody complaining about headlights. Um I guess being blinded by lights like my truck has is aggravating when on the road. I hope it doesn't make things more dangerous, but it makes it safer for me when I'm out in the woods. You know, if I'm out uh cruising to West Yellowstone or something, it's dark out. You know, you're driving back from Island Park, it's dark out. You don't want to run over a deer.

Alright, uh other unpopular opinions. Uh ordering bread sticks with pizza is like ordering extra buns with a hamburger. I will say, I don't think I would ever order just regular old breadsticks with pizza. Like at Olive Garden, you know, they just give them to you.

Sure. But if I'm gonna order any kind of bread with pizza, it's gotta have like cheese on it and be a little different from the pizza. Not just bread. Bread sticks are boring. Uh this person thinks pretzels are one of the worst snack foods available. Um he says they're dry, hard, salty bread, they make you thirsty and don't taste like much other than salt. They're just unremarkable.

I think I could agree with that. I'm not a big pretzel guy. You know the big pretzels you buy like at the mall, those are good. But the little little small crunchy ones, I don't know. Not a go to for me. Give me give me some Doritos.

For sure. This person says chicken is better than beef. All right, get out of here. As I was perusing the unpopular opinions, I got led to a thread about bands that got worse the more music that they made. And I think there's gonna be some unpopular opinions in here.

Because I disagree with the first one right out of the gate, and you are do a lot of you, probably most of you going to find my opinion on this unpopular and disagree with me. This person says band that got worse, the more music they made, guns and roses. One, this depends if you consider Chinese democracy to be guns and roses, okay, because it's just Axl Rose. Um, and then a super group of really talented musicians.

Uh I think personally, the Chinese Democracy is the best Guns N' Roses album. I tend to you know be very alone on that one. But that's me. I do not think Guns N' Roses is a band that got worse the more music they made.

I think Usi Your Illusion is better than Appetite for Destruction. Well, I think they got better the more music they made. That's just me. Alright, let's see here. Kiss. I I'm not familiar enough with their discography to pass judgment. I don't know if I've ever thrown on a Kiss album.

You know, I know the the big hit songs, but I don't think I've ever just been like, alright, let's rock a Kiss album. See what else we got here. Metallica. Hmm. I think Metallica's more of a roller coaster.

Yeah. They they've got some peaks and then some lows, and then they, you know, got good again. I thought the last album was good.

I mean, you're not gonna ever beat Master Puppets, but you know. All right, Chicago, don't know the catalog. Weezer, same deal. Motley crew.

I don't know. I really liked that Generation Swine album, and that was uh pretty late in their career. Was it their last album? Generation Swine? So I think I disagree with that as well.

Uh let's see here. Chili Peppers, I I like their newer stuff too. I don't know, and Muse, I think Muse has gotten better and better and better as they've uh matured with their sound. Smashing pumpkins. Ugh! I mean, I think they peaked, but I don't know if they got worse and worse.

Who would I say? I mean, a lot of bands. I don't like their later stuff as much as their older stuff, like Ghost. You know, I think Meliora was the peak. Um Tool, Ladder Alice was the peak. But I still like the new stuff, so I don't know. Bands that got worse. I'm trying to think. If there's any bands that I just was like, alright, I'm just done, I give up.

These albums are getting worse and worse all the time. No, they're just usually different. Might not be as enjoyable, but that probably all comes down to nostalgia, doesn't it?

You get emotionally attached to music much stronger when you're a younger person, so I don't know. Alright. We're making our way through the day, people. Little bit at a time. Hopefully uh the rest goes fast. I've had enough.

What's up, everybody? I think I stumbled across an article that Becca wrote. I didn't realize she was writing for online news publications and such, but she must be. Uh this article, let me pull it back up here, is called The Neuroscience of Why You Can't Stop Buying Books You Don't Have Time To Read. Says, Did I write this column on why some people can't stop buying books for personal reasons?

Why, yes, I did. And she goes on to talk about how her and her husband, they're both readers. Now she enjoys reading on her tablet.

The only clue that shows this would not be Becca. Becca is not into reading on a tablet. But then she goes into her husband who likes actual books, and I guess he cannot stop buying them. She says, uh, she would describe what he has as a book hoarding problem. Their shelves grown under the weight of the many books he's accumulated. Yet more pour into our house. She dreads passing bookstores and knows that when the doorbell rings, it's gonna be a delivery guy with a box full of books.

Okay. That's my house. I walked in with three new books yesterday. Uh, courtesy of Peaches. Peaches, uh, you know, selling all of his possessions. So he had a few books uh on his shelf that I was like, I'll take those few. You can uh, you know, take the rest to the bookshelf if you'd like. I know I've got books on the way that will show up via via post.

At least they better. I was supposed to, you know, with some purchase I made like six months ago, get a free copy of the uh collector's edition of It that just came out, and that is not shown up at my door, so I may have to reach out to Cemetery Dance publications, be like, hey, what's the deal? Where's my free copy of it? And it seems like I was supposed to get some other stuff too. Oh, don't know.

Okay, what... anyway, she goes on to say her husband got a t-shirt for Christmas that says one does not stop buying books because there is no more shelf space. Uh recently was discussing our shelf space shelf space situation.

Boy, tongue twister. And I'm like, no, we got plenty of shelves. We we don't need more shelves. There's nowhere to put them. Started moving some books around, and I'm like, oh crap. Probably need another shelf.

So another one of Peach's Peach's possessions that I purchased was the actual books bookshelf itself. Uh I don't know where I'm gonna put it though. I've got a decent-sized house, but I do not have a place. I mean, I I can put them in my basement, but I'm just so paranoid that like a pipe's gonna burst someday and the books will get ruined. I guess I could put the books that are just not valuable at all down there. What's Well, what's wrong with just buying a bunch of books, right?

I I think they make a good uh decoration. But she says his towering piles are filling closets and encroaching on the living room, and he's totally unwilling to give any of them away. Now I do go through my books and I get rid of you know lots of them all the time. Because I'll buy like 50 or 100 at once because I saw one in there that I wanted, and it was cheap enough to just buy them all. Yeah, I guess uh the Japanese have a phrase for people like me, or I guess the practice of hoarding books, Sundoku.

Yeah, and they look at the habit as a charming eccentricity. I I cannot talk today. Good God. I'm gonna have to go get myself. I don't know. I I don't want to have more caffeine because I'm crawling out of my skin.

Uh, so water, I guess. Anyway, read a book, buy a bunch, you can get them cheap. Yeah, go to thrift stores, go to the library when they do their sales, and I don't think you have to show your ID to go to the book sale just to borrow books. Yeah, Idaho Law makes a lot of sense. I was uh working on getting some prizes up to the front desk. Almost missed this break. What's up, Peaches?

Speaker 2: Well, uh, you know, Hugh Jackman's in Idaho, we gotta get him some crazy figure eight car race passes here.

Speaker 1: Yeah, for Wolverine behind the wheel.

Speaker 2: What if we get him in the passenger seat with Maddie? Dude, that'd be way cool. We got Wolverine and uh Mad Dog. Yeah.

Speaker 1: I'm down. Yeah, you said some people get mad that we tagged him and were like, come hang out in the studio.

Speaker 2: Yeah, all I said, so these other radio stations uh in the Twin Falls area posted about Hugh Jackman being in Idaho. I just took their picture, posted it on our page, both the K-Bear and Z103 pages. Yeah. And a lot of people, of course, were like, oh, that'd be awesome, cool.

I'm so glad he's here. But then a lot of people on the K-Bear page that don't actually follow us, they just decided to see they just saw the picture, were like, leave him alone. They were sounding like the uh that guy that was defending Britney Spears. You know, that's like let him have his privacy. It's like, well, if he wanted privacy, wouldn't you think he wouldn't post a picture indicating that he's here in Idaho? Like even if the other radio stations posted that picture. He still posted it.

Speaker 1: And around here, people get excited when celebrities come around. Absolutely. It's it's something happening here. But also. the Idaho's. Who was it, Jimmy Fallon was at Mike's Music recently?

Speaker 2: Yeah, and then the Henry Winkler was at the sandwich tree right down the street.

Speaker 1: Oh, and I think I saw a picture of uh Jimmy Kimmel in Swan Valley. We don't want that liberal here. Get him out. I'd hang out with Jimmy.

Speaker 2: No, I'd love to hang out with him too.

Speaker 1: I think that with Jimmy Fallon, too, even though I don't like his show.

Speaker 2: Well, he's like he's one of the worst hosts. I hate to say it, but he is. But uh, but uh the Idaho should be upset. There's an Australian, you know, invading Idaho. Well, Australian! Yeah, Crocky!

Speaker 1: Crocky, go back where you

Speaker 2: came from the ship on the bobby.

Speaker 1: Call out of a knife. Well, and I mean I want to get a hold of Hugh Jackman because it's like he's visiting Idaho, but they said he's hanging out around Twin Falls. Right.

Speaker 2: He's in the Magic Valley, your favorite place.

Speaker 1: Yeah, like if you're gonna come to Idaho, that's the last place you go.

Speaker 2: But if I was an A-list actor, you th I would love to go to some obscure city just to throw everybody off. Like, imagine Hugh Jackman's like, I'm I'm going to Burley Might. I need to go.

Speaker 1: I'm gonna go check this place out.

Speaker 2: Oh, what a dumb place is crap.

Speaker 1: Well, we'll just go to like I would go to like Topeka, Kansas. I would go to like some random place in Wyoming. Yeah, I would show up at random places just for people to try to say, oh, I met Peaches in this random obscure area.

Speaker 1: Yeah, like I pull up the Idaho map, and it's just like there are so many cooler places to go visit. You could go to Stanley for heck's sake. Yeah. I mean, well, he he could be staying it. I bet he's staying in Sun Valley, and for some re maybe you wanted to go see Shoshone Falls.

Speaker 2: Well, he he was a PE teacher. He's very into fitness. Okay. So I'm assuming he's probably just hiking around enjoying the scenery.

Speaker 1: Oh, the hiking's way better and more scenic in Sun Valley.

Speaker 2: and Twin Falls.

Speaker 1: I mean, he's from Australia, so he's like, I can I can hike around without the threat without most of the threats I get back at home.

Speaker 1: Like the desert, mate. Oh, so that's what beat factories smell like. They smell like crap, mate. Rupert stinks.

Speaker 2: Rupert. Imagine you name your son Rupert.

Speaker 1: It's a bad name. Don't name your kid Rupert. Uh you were close. Your parents were very close. Thankfully they didn't name me Rupert. Yeah, but be I'd be furious. I don't know. That sounds like an old person snack or something. Rupert.

Speaker 2: Enjoy some Rupert in a Mars bar.

Speaker 1: Oh, you want some Rupert to go with that? Is that some nice Rupert? It tastes like black licorice. Dirt, like beats. Disgusting. So yeah, if anybody knows Hugh Jackman and he wants to come hang out, it'd be fun. I want to talk to him about that movie. Uh is it the uh illusionist or the prestige? Which one is he a magician in? The sheep farmer. Were we it seems like we were watching that last night. The Sheep Farmer, is that a new movie?

Speaker 2: Yeah, it just came out not that long ago.

Speaker 1: Went to streaming. I think we were watching that last night, we're not.

Speaker 2: The Illusionist or the what was that was the other one?

Speaker 1: We were doing bad karaoke. And it's either the illusionist or the prestige.

Speaker 2: Well, the illusionist is Edward Norton.

Speaker 1: Okay. So it's the prestige thing. And it's a really good movie if you haven't seen it. Excellent. It's a Christopher Nolan film. Yeah, you should watch it, dude. Tony.

Speaker 2: Oh, Christian Bale's in it, Michael Kane's in it, Scarlet Johansson's also in it.

Speaker 1: Top tier cast. David Bowie. Dude, it's it's a top-tier cast, and it's probably the best magic movie I've seen. You know, r relating to magicians. You know, it's not like Now you see me. Now you see me. Yeah, it's not like that.

Speaker 2: I was about to say that's the best magic movie.

Speaker 1: Oh, jeez.

Speaker 2: It's fantastic right now.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if you can suspend disbelief, I suppose. All right, everybody, let's rock some creed. All right, we are making our way through this Tuesday at a decent pace. Gotta appreciate that. I hope the rest of your work day goes by fast. Good day to have it done, just like every day is. Kind of slow news day.

Um of the things going on. It's not here, but if you want to go to visit New York City, I mean now's the time. Because a massive hairball is gonna be rolling through the streets this week. A 161 billion strand tumble hare will roll across Manhattan before landing in the meat packing district.

Yeah. Might as well unleash the enormous ball of hair to go along with the garbage and rats. Whatever else might be rolling around Manhattan. Now, is this real hair? I don't know, but it looks like they took a bunch of those tribals from the old Star Trek TV show and glued them together into a giant ball shape. It's very odd looking, to say the least. And apparently what they're trying to do is advertise their new future IQ biomimetric biomimetic hair longevity serum. And they say that the giant hairball with 161 billion strands of hair corresponds to the number of hairs New Yorkers could retain if they use the you know longevity serum. Um That's it's better than a UT, I guess, a tumble hair rolling down the road, but um yeah, if you've ever wanted to rub a giant ball of hair or just see it. Video is available, but it's not like seeing it in person. Yeah. It's like going to a concert.

You can watch it on YouTube, but it's so much better when you're there seeing the ball of hair. Alright. Well, with the type of humidity they have there and how dirty things can be rolling that down the streets. I'll bet that thing is gonna be quite disgusting and smell bad. But I don't know if you get a chance to check it out. Let me know.

Why, I don't know. Alright, kids, I gotta tell ya. Rockin' rolling all night and partying every day might sound fun, but it's gonna catch up with you someday. Okay. You can't just rock and roll all night and party every day.

You're gonna end up doing serious damage to your body, so don't follow the words of Gene Simmons. I guess there are worse songs out there than rock and roll and party every day. Rock and roll all night, excuse me. I was just letting the listeners know before I bailed so you can do your interview that rocking and rolling and partying all night, every day and all that, it's uh bad for you. You know, no kidding. No, it's bad for your guts.

Speaker 2: I think some for your brain. I think somebody was sp uh sprayed themselves with cologne in the hallway. Hmm. It smells like JC Penny out there.

Speaker 1: Well, uh, right before Jade walked in here earlier. I've uh you know, I gave him a taste of his own medicine. Is that what that smell is in here? But it didn't smell like cologne.

Speaker 2: See, but in here it smells like a fark. Yes.

Speaker 1: It did so it did, it did remain out there.

Speaker 2: It smells you gotta take it.

Speaker 1: It was a bad one, dude. It was 15 minutes ago that Jade was in here. So I didn't think it would linger long enough for you to come in and you know do your interview.

Speaker 2: Yeah, last night I went to uh Applebee's with two friends, and I got the OM cheeseburger. You ate a burger for the first time in a long time, yeah. How was it? Uh all right. It did. I mean, if it did sit well. It's it's this burger that's cut in half. And it's just and it's engulfed in cheese.

Speaker 1: I saw one of those for sale. Where was it? They have one at Smoking Finns. That might have been where I saw it.

Speaker 2: Um that one's more runny. This one was just like just a gaw.

Speaker 1: that reminds me of when I uh had a endoscopy and colonoscopy. And you can't eat for like two days. Oh, yeah. And I went to Freddy's after, because they're like, you can eat whatever you want now. And I'm like, anything. They're like, yeah.

They should warn me. You know, ease your food back into your system. Because I went to Freddy's and I got like a you know, double cheese, chili fries, uh concrete,

Speaker 2: and big smoke and GTA San Andreas.

Speaker 1: I got so sick. I got some.

Speaker 2: Two number nine. Number nine large. My stomach hurt so bad. It was delicious, but oh man, my stomach was not prepared.

Speaker 1: So anyhow, I guess I better get out of here so Peaches can get ready to. Who are you interviewing again?

Speaker 2: Uh, Mirza from the band Siamese.

Speaker 1: Very cool, very cool. Uh, if you want to catch up on all our interviews, you can find them everywhere. Podcast can be found as well as YouTube. And uh, I hope it goes good, Peaches.
