The Viktor Wilt Show daily recap! If you miss the show weekdays from 6A-10A MST, you've come to the right place.
Yo. What's up? How you doing? Good? I hope.
I hope amazing. Alright. Firing up the old news today as usual. Lots of politics and a lack of fun, but we'll dig deeper as the morning goes along. Still kinda waking up here.
I'm sure we'll find something fun to talk about on the show today. But the first thing I read was, you know, I should probably not even be at work. It's national relaxation day. Here we go. We'll do a typical morning show break.
Today's holidays, national relaxation day. And the way that you celebrate that is stay home. That doesn't seem to be being encouraged by this article here, but I'm encouraging you. If you can get away with it, don't go to work, just stay home and relax. Or you could take a trip to one of the top ten most relaxed cities where all you do is kick back all the time.
Apparently, the most relaxed city is Newton, Massachusetts. Alright? They've they base all this on a whole bunch of different factors here to determine which place is the most relaxing. Things like mental well-being, mental health boosters, physical well-being, financial well-being, work stressors, environmental stressors, social stressors, and recreation options. Apparently, in Newton, people are making a lot of money because they're number 4 in the country for financial well-being.
Looking at all their other stats, I mean, it it doesn't look that great. Just looks like everybody there. Yeah. Rolling in the dough, or maybe it's a low cost of living. I doubt it.
Have I been through Newton? It's hard to remember what places I drove through when I was hanging out with my lady over on the East Coast. Came close to Newton. Maybe we did drive past it. Maybe so because it's right outside of, Boston.
I'm guessing a very wealthy area right outside of Boston. People rolling in the cash. Other relaxed places, tons of cities in California, as you'd expect, the weather is, like, perfect year round. Now that that's gonna relax and, ease any kind of mental health stuff if you're not dealing with horrific snow or scorching hot temperatures. If it's, like, 70 year round, it's gotta be pretty good.
Pretty good for the mind. And then you got Naperville, Illinois popping in there. It's another place with very good financial well-being. One thing I'm noticing about the few midwest cities on here, Naperville, Illinois, Carmel, Indiana, Good financial well-being. So either people are rich or the cost of living makes it, you know, so you can get by pretty easily.
I don't know. Something about Indiana just doesn't sound great to me. Maybe it's because I've watched too many YouTube videos about Gary, Indiana, which is supposed to be like the worst city in America. I don't know. This does make me wanna kinda take a vacation and well, California is probably pretty hot right now.
Well, maybe depending on where you go, but I would assume they're, you know, miserable areas where it's just scorching right now. Perhaps not in Sunnyvale though. That town does have a name that sounds just chipper, doesn't it? Sunnyvale. I don't know.
It's better than Gary. I mean, I had a good friend named Gary. But for a name for a town, Gary, it just doesn't scream quite the same level of enjoyment as Sunnyvale alright now I gotta find out where Sunnyvale is let's let's pass judgment on Sunnyvale Peaches isn't here, so I can't ask his opinion. Alright. Sunnyvale.
Oh, that's Northern California. Gonna buy, looks like a suburb of San Jose. Rich people. Yeah. They say money doesn't buy happiness.
Well, according to this list, based on what I'm seeing, it has a pretty big influence on it. Oh, man. I could use a vacation. No summer vacation for me. Haven't gone anywhere.
I haven't even I haven't even gone to, like, Salt Lake or Boise. I got a new baby kitten at my house. Can't really leave town. Alright. Be back in a minute.
I'll find something better to talk about than this typical radio dribble. Hang on. K, Bear. What's up? Hey.
It's Mark. Mark, what's happening, man? Live in Sunnyvale. Yeah? Is it pretty nice?
Yeah. It's not that cheery, really. It's not that cheery? It's not that cheery. Well, how about relaxing?
Yeah. I mean, it was nice because I could go up to the top of the mountain and not have to drive. I'd ride a mountain bike, and you could just it's on the peninsula. Sounds pretty, relaxing, potentially. Relaxing.
Yeah. Yeah. Is it, Definitely relaxing. You got a lot of traffic there? Not as much as down further.
Mountain View closer to 101. Alright. Alright. Well But, yeah, they're they're up near 280. Okay.
Which is more, yeah, the ritzy type. But you got everybody living there. So Yeah. Looking at the map, you are pretty pretty close to a lot of outdoors. Looks like a a pretty good spot, really.
Like you said, near the water, but also the mountains. Mhmm. Looks pretty cool. Looks pretty cool. Yeah.
I mean, I lived in Mountain View and Sunnyvale, and they're both very nice towns. Alright, man. They have a a large farmer's market down downtown Mountain View, and all the Sunnyvails come down there. Well, and I would imagine based on the location, you know, probably pretty decent weather most of the year, you know, because you're not right on the coast. You're a little bit inland, you know, which in that area of the country, some of the coastal areas can be a little bit toasty, but, or I mean, a little bit cool.
Like, if you get to the Oregon coast, you know, generally, you're looking at, like, fifties sixties year round, but, looks like that spot, not too not too bad. Looks pretty nice. I like it here better, though. Yeah? What what what makes you like here better than Sunnyvale?
Well, it's just less crowded. Less crowded. That that that makes sense. I I do gotta say for one reason. I enjoy, being able to get anywhere I need to go in about 10 minutes.
And, compared to driving in big city traffic, it ain't too shabby around here. It's awesome here. No. Not too bad. That's for sure.
So well, Mark. Alright. Well, you have a great day. You too, man. Good to hear from you.
Relaxing day. Oh, I'm I'm working on it. Working on it. Yeah. I'm working on it too.
Right on. Hope it goes good, man. Alright. Alright. Peace, Mark.
See you. What's up? It's Victor Wilt. And if you're not able to, I don't know, head to Sunnyvale or whatever to celebrate National Relaxation Day, you could always just watch a movie. And I stumbled across a list of the essential movies of the 2020 so far, the 30 best movies.
And I was like, oh, I wonder how many of these I've seen. Most of these, I've never even heard of. So my lady and I, we got this list where we keep movies we wanna watch noted. So when we're sitting around going, okay. What are we gonna watch?
We can look at the list. Looks like I got a bunch of stuff to put on the list because, again, I haven't heard of a a a lot of these. And the first one on the list, the image on the trailer, the, you know, just still image that you get for the YouTube trailer already has me intrigued. I know nothing about this movie. It's called Triangle of Sadness, but it has some woman apparently vomiting up some type of glitter or fireworks.
I don't know what's going on there, but that's the type of image that I see and I go, oh, I gotta see that movie. If you've got vomit in your promotional image, especially if it's a gold colored firework glitter vomit, I gotta check it out. Triangle of sadness. Haven't heard of it, nor have I heard of the people's joker. I don't know if this has to do with, Batman or anything like that.
Oh, it says it's got Bob Odenkirk, Saul Goodman himself. He's generally good. Haven't even heard of it. The people's joker, nor have I heard of this, action flick. RRR?
Triple r? I don't know. Never even seen this. Well, I mean, obviously, I haven't seen the movie, but haven't seen a trailer. Haven't seen anything about it.
1 of the best movies of the 20 twenties? Alright. Here's what I've heard of and seen. Oppenheimer, it is a good movie. I I enjoyed it.
I see why it was, you know, so award winning and such. It was a a very well crafted film. Very nice. Now we'll get back to a bunch of movies I've never heard of. Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, River.
Now River is such a generic title that it maybe I heard of it and it just didn't stick out. Looks like it's a Japanese movie. Gonna have to put it on the list. Robot Dreams. Some type of an animated movie.
Never heard of it. Never heard of it. It's available on Apple TV. That's probably why I haven't heard of it. Don't have Apple TV.
Beau is afraid from the legend, Ari Aster, who directed hereditary and Midsommar. I have heard of this movie. It's on the list. But, let's see. You can stream it on Paramount plus now?
Might have to fire that account back up. Gotta watch that. I mean, Ari Aster is great, and that is one I have heard of. Everything Everywhere All at Once I have seen. It's a fantastic movie.
If you haven't checked Everything Everywhere All at Once out, highly recommended. I've watched it multiple times. It's really good. Candyman 2021, watched that, and it it was actually really good. Generally, horror remakes or remakes in general.
Not really up to par with, you know, the originals, but the newer Candyman was pretty good. Da 5 Bloods. Never heard of it. Drive my car. Same thing.
My octopus teacher. Never heard of that nor pneumonia. Okay. Godzilla minus 1. It's on the list.
Haven't checked it out but I've heard, like, just rave reviews for this movie. And normally, I would not be interested in a Godzilla movie. I don't know why. But this one's on the list simply because I've heard so many people just rave about how good it is. Gonna have to check that one out.
We got challengers. Never heard of it. Problemista. The Barbie movie. I I liked the Barbie movie.
I thought it was good. I thought it was fun. Thought it was well put together. It it's just a fun movie. If you haven't checked it out, I would recommend that.
More movies that I haven't heard of, decision to leave, 100 of beavers. This list just goes on and on. The Wonka movie, supposed to be one of the best movies of the 20 twenties. I wouldn't have guessed that. I didn't have much, much desire to see it, but if it's one of the best, maybe I gotta check out Wonka.
Have seen nope. And I thought that was a pretty fun movie. The zone of interest. That movie was it was really good. And the zone of interest is a weird one because it it's about this, you know, this guy who works it's a it's a movie about World War 2 and the Nazis, and it's a very strange movie because you got this guy who's living with his family outside of Auschwitz, and he he's one of the, you know, like, Nazi commanders.
And it's very strange because it's got his, like, normal family life while there's all this horrific stuff happening just right next door. It it was pretty disturbing and, you know, the the main characters in this movie are so hateable. Really good and worth a watch, though. Haven't heard of all the beauty in the bloodshed nor have I heard of if anything happens, I love you or the worst person in the world or past lives. Have I heard of Sisu?
I don't know. My father's dragon. I'm I'm just gonna bookmark the list because they seem to be pretty well raved about. So, yeah, national relaxation day, kick back and watch a good movie. Maybe I'll go share this list in the k Bear 101 Idaho rock and metal group.
Ask you folks how many of these movies you've seen and if you would agree that they're the best movies of the 20 twenties. Also look for your suggestions. You know what would not be relaxing? Trying to start your day and finding any kind of critter in the toilet. This is an Australia thing.
Shouldn't happen in America. But if there's one place it's going to happen, of course, it's Florida. Wasn't a snake. It was an iguana, and it was found by ESPN's what's his name here? Jeff Darlington.
Boy, is that a great news guy name? I'm Jeff Darlington for ESPN. Got an iguana in my toilet. Yeah. Florida.
You know, home to a bunch of invasive species. You got, like, snakes and, of course, the iguana. When it gets cold out, they'll just fall out of trees and clock you in the head, give you a concussion, or hang out in the toilet. This guy had been having toilet problems. It just wasn't flushing right apparently for days.
And all of a sudden, he's trying to get started for the day and sees the little iguana head sticking up over the rim of the toilet seat. And then it tried to go back down into the pipe. This guy grabbed it by the tail and pulled it out. As someone who is, a wuss when it comes to lizards and snakes and any creatures that are not kittens, They're puppies. I don't know what I'd do if I saw an iguana in my toilet.
I mean, if I see a spider in the sink or the toilet, I I try to wash them down the drain. You know? I don't even want to get the, like, kleenex out and squish them or anything like that to get rid of them. Like, down the drain you go. Just wasting water.
Iguana. Oh. I'd be calling animal control. They're like dude just deal with it. You want us to come out and get It's not like it was a full size like 2 foot long.
It was it was small from Well, I don't know. That could have been a stock image. Could have been. I will never live in Florida. Again, a spider in the toilet has me concerned.
That does not sound cute. I don't like the sound of that. So iguana in the toilet, pretty much nightmare fuel for this guy. Hey. We're giving away free stuff, so you might as well try to win it.

There's a couple that are pretty much infuriating people online because they're boohooing about how they make $250,000 a year and cannot afford to buy a house in Portland, Oregon.
I don't buy it. I don't buy it. I'm guessing if you make $250,000 a year, there is a house you can buy in Portland, Oregon. Now Portland, it's not a a cheap place to buy a house by any means. According to this article about this family, Portland, the number 15 most expensive place to buy a home in America, which that also sounds kinda weird to me.
Maybe that's, talking specific, metropolitan areas, but I also haven't done any house shopping in Portland that I recall. So maybe I'm way off. Maybe housing is really expensive, but I figured we'd take a quick look at this because I I know people are struggling when it comes to housing. Things have gotten to be very expensive around here, as a matter of fact. Now this family is currently renting an apartment, a 2 bedroom apartment.
K? Their take home pay is about $11,000 a month. This article notes that people like Dave Ramsey say you shouldn't spend more than 28% of your income on housing. Now I I'm guessing that that's just gonna have to change because though we'd all like to hope and dream that all of a sudden housing comes way down in price I don't know if that's gonna happen. Nobody knows if that's going to happen.
A lot of people out there predicting, oh, the housing market's gonna crash. Everything's gonna be cheap again. Well, it hasn't happened yet. K? So you don't know.
You don't know if that's ever gonna happen. So, okay, this family takes home $11,000 a month. Let me bust out the calculator here. We're gonna play the math game. Alright.
So 11,000, and that's take home pay. I believe that the the 28% is of your your gross pay, but whatever. We'll we'll go with their take home pay. 11,000 times 0.28. So spend about $3,000 a month.
All right. Let's see. Let's go to Zillow and let's go Portland. Portland, Oregon. And let's see here.
They wanted a 2 bedroom. So we'll just go 2 bedroom, any bath. Okay. Immediately, one of the first houses that pops up. Jeez.
Compared to our prices around here, this ain't bad. I mean, a 4 bed, 2 bath, 324,000. That's not bad at all. What it is this in, like, a horrible area of town? Is it run down?
Let me look at some pictures here. They do have bars on the windows and the doors. So that's not a great sign as far as the neighborhood goes. But you know what? If you really wanna buy a home, can be picky.
And, yeah, this is a definite fixer upper. Alright? This is a definite fixer upper. But, again, these folks can spend about $3,000 a month. So, you know, that that that one right there is well within their budget.
Okay. Let's see. How much house can I afford? Let's do it this way. Alright.
If they make $250,000 a year, I'm just using the mortgage loan calculator at Google. So let's say they make they're making $250 a year, monthly debts, car loans, credit cards. Let's kick it up and say they make, I don't know. We'll we'll go crazy. We'll say they're spending $1,000 on, car payments and credit card payments each month.
Alright. Down payment. I don't know. It defaults to $60,000. Sure.
Let's leave it there. Interest rates are around, I think, 6.5% right now, And we'll say they got a good credit score. We're gonna change the state to Oregon. Okay. Google says they can afford an $830,000 home.
Let's let's kick it down a notch and let let's go cheaper. Can we find anything for them? A 2 bedroom house in Portland for, like, $600. These people are making $250,000 a year. It's a good chunk of change.
Alright. Here's a 2 bed, 2 bath for 500,000. Let's check out this dump in Portland. Okay. This is a it's got a unit number.
So this might be a condo. Yeah. It's condo. Alright. They're living in an apartment.
They want a house. Okay. Here's 1. 524,000. Let's check out this dump that they can't afford.
The place is great, obviously. Well, we haven't found our dream home that we can afford in the price range. You know what? Listen. You're not gonna get sympathy out of people when you're making 250,000 a year whining about how you can't buy a house.
Don't get in the news and do that because I look at this. I'm scrolling through tons of houses in Portland. Here's one that looks like a tree house. To the top of their budget, it's $799,000, but it's on 2 acres. And, again, it looks like a tree house.
The place is amazing. And according to Google, that's within their budget, especially if they had a bunch of money to put down. Look at this place. Alright. My sympathy for these people is all but gone.
They're being too picky. K? If you really want a house and you make $250,000 a year, you can absolutely buy one in Portland that is very, very nice. I mean, these houses that are 5, $600,000, these are really nice houses, at least as far as I'm concerned. Maybe I have, you know, low standards, but holy cow.
I mean, I tell you what, if I had 6 or $250,000 of income a year, $250,000 in income each year, I could find a house probably just about anywhere that would be satisfactory to me. Probably. Anyway, you know, the these are the type of stories that make people get upset toward those who think that, $250,000 a year is, like, average middle class. I I think some people are very out of touch with what most people make. You know?
$250 a year is a good chunk of change. Can you imagine making $250 a year? Holy cow, man, would I have fun. Even if that was combined wages in a household, $250, you're you're living good unless you don't know what you're doing with your money. Alright?
Maybe you can't live in, I don't know, San Diego on those kind of wages, but Portland, absolutely based on the what did I do? About 5 minutes of research here? Get over it, people. So earlier, I mentioned we've got the Live United concert series going down tonight at the Waterfront, Idaho Falls. You can go check out 2 AM Logic live with the fam, do some nice things for the community while you're there.
If you're looking for something fun to do this weekend, I would definitely recommend getting out and checking out this music festival that's gonna be happening out at, Aspen Grove Inn near the Hycy Bridge in Ryrie. It's going down tomorrow Saturday, the South Fork Music Fest. It's the 1st year it's open to the public. Last couple years, they just kinda started doing this thing as a group of friends and families of the musicians performing, but they're like, hey. Let's make this a real deal.
So they've got 2 different stages, 20 bands performing. Some of my favorite local bands are gonna be there. Lots of great people. And you wanna talk about a good deal. $20 to go check out the festival for the entire weekend per person.
18 years and younger are free. So you can go to their website to get the full scoop, southforkfest.com. You got some great people throwing this thing together. It's out there near Hyse, so you could just go camp out, you know, bring along some lawn chairs, and it's nice and shady out there. Plus, the weather's looking, like, perfect for this this weekend.
And, again, some of my favorite local bands are performing, so I actually should, hit up some of these guys since they'll be driving by. Maybe, some folks I haven't seen for a while could, meet up and say hello. I'm gonna do my best to get out and check it out because it looks like a lot of fun. The South Fork Music Fest, it's going down tomorrow Saturday. All local music.
Get out and support our local music scene. It'll be excellent. Again, southforkfest.com. Lots of different genres of music as well. It's not just one type of thing.
There's gonna be something for everybody and you know how much I love our local music scene. You should definitely go check it out. So southforkfest.com. Highly recommend. If you're looking for something to do this weekend with the weather looking perfect, you go check this out.
It's good to know my phone listens to my radio show. Ever since I talked about train rides like a week ago, I'm getting all kinds of articles. Check it out. How about this train ride? You wanna go on a train ride, bro?
Come on. Get on the train. Yeah. Best scenic train rides in the US. And a lot of these do look amazing, but they're just way out of my budget.
Like, this one, I would imagine, would be really cool. A 5 day trip from Salt Lake through the mountains, through Yellowstone National Park. I bet it's awesome. Starting price, over $1,000 per person. I mean, it is a 5 day trip.
I don't know if that includes lodging. If it includes hotels, it might not be too bad. But still, I had the listeners call and tell me about the affordable train rides that sounded pretty cool in in Colorado. But looking through this list here, there's a bunch of really cool ones. You can take train rides along the West Coast.
Like, you could go all the way from California to Vancouver. You could spend a month on a train if you want, and I bet it's a beautiful ride. You know, you load up a suitcase with just books, sit on the train, read, look out the window. Sounds you know, today, again, national relaxation day. It sounds very relaxing to me even though I've never been on a train.
I wonder if when you're actually on the train, it's just loud. I mean, drive your vehicle down the freeway. It's not what I would call peaceful or relaxing and trains when they go by are very loud. Are those cars pretty well soundproof? Is it actually relaxing to be on a train?
I'm gonna have to do it one of these days. Take a train ride just because it's going on the bucket list. Ride the train. Now I've got train songs in my head. I got, techno train by electric call book.
My phone's gonna go crazy with train stuff now because I said train, like, at least a dozen times in the last couple minutes. This guy loves trains. He's obsessed. Have you ever seen videos of YouTubers obsessed with trains? Thankfully, I'm not one of those weirdos or the guy who raised a ruckus in the Life in Idaho Falls Facebook group because there was some kind of unique train coming through, and it was only gonna be here for a half hour.
He about had a meltdown. Why do we only get this train for this long? Why don't you be like, Grateful Dead fans? Follow the trains around the country if you really wanna see a train that bad. Anyway, looking at the coast starlight.
Looks pretty cool. Looks pretty neat. Oh, here's the sunset limited. You go through the Arizona desert. What if the AC breaks down on the train?
You're dead. Seem like it'd be miserable hot on a train where the AC ain't working right. And I'd be concerned that the AC is not strong enough. Like, I like it. Nice and cool in the summertime.
A lot of people don't crank the AC up to the level I do. Like, I recently mentioned driving around with friends who insist that rolling down the windows is just fine when it's in the nineties. It's not. Alright? You got an air conditioner.
Use it. Alright? It's 2024. I'm trying to relax and enjoy this ride on National Relaxation Day. Crank up the a I'm gonna turn the a c on in the studio even though it's not hot in here just because I can.
Get that nice cool breeze rolling through here as I dig up some freak news. You ready for some freak news? It's coming up in just a minute. I gotta close this train window because, yeah, I can't afford it. Why do I even look?
No sense looking in stuff, looking at stuff you can't afford. Like, the other day, my friend, JD, along with my kids helped me get my big amp up and running again, so I've been crushing down bass guitar. And I've got an Axe FX guitar rig. Right? But it's hooked up to my computer.
It's a multi effects processor for anybody who doesn't know what the Axe FX is. It allows you to make, you know, weird sounds or crushing sounds with your guitar, but it's hooked up to my computer, and I don't wanna move it. So I got looking around at things like a Kemper amp modeler because I think it would look cool to put the toaster Kemper on top of my amp and then I you know I've got that hooked up so I don't have to worry about my recording rig in my computer I can't afford that. What am I even looking for? I'm not winning the lottery anytime soon.
I don't know. I guess daydreaming is one way to pass the time. But, yeah, looking at train rides I can't afford, looking at guitar gear I can't afford. What's wrong with me? I don't know.
Dreaming. That's right. Just dreaming. Brick News is powered by Greasemonkey, voted Idaho's best oil change. I believe I can blame The Goonies for my lifelong fascination with finding treasure.
I remember at one point, I was going to write a short story about a guy with a metal detector who found something weird while he was out searching for treasure. There was that whole forest bend treasure that was hidden in the Rocky Mountains somewhere north of Santa Fe. I poured over those clues trying to figure out where the treasure was, had some good ideas. And then after somebody found the treasure, they never even said where it was, which was very frustrating to me because I wanted to know if I was right. Anyway, apparently, in Utah, they do the Utah treasure hunt every year.
How did I not hear about this? You heard me whine in a few minutes ago about how I can't afford guitar gear that I wanna buy. I could sure go for $25,000. Yeah. Father and son.
Won the treasure hunt, found $25,000 hidden under a rock, and I guess they do this every year. I'll have to keep an eye on it next year. Now, it would require going to Utah which, you know, that's quite the mental health risk for a little bit of treasure, but I'd do it. I'd do it. 25 g's.
Not only could I get the Kemper Profiler that I would like to get, I could buy a new guitar too. Mhmm. Lots of cool stuff. I guess I'd have to pay off some bills too. That'd that'd be the smart move.
Okay. Anyway, just wanna let you know that's out there if you're into treasure hunting. But it's over now. You gotta wait till next year. Alright.
What else we got here? Oh, this story is pretty funny to me, but, also, I'm sure it was traumatizing for the the youth who was on a field trip. Alright. This school took their kids on a field trip to the local courthouse to show them what court was like. And this 16 year old fell asleep in between the hearings.
You know why? Because court is boring. Alright? Note to schools. I know you wanna educate, and this seems like, alright.
We can teach our kids about the court system blah blah blah. I don't know. Field trips, as far as I'm concerned, should be fun. You're getting out of school. I think if I had the option of sitting in a classroom or sitting in a courtroom Give me the classroom all day because at least this isn't gonna happen if you fall asleep in class.
I mean, your teacher might go, hey, wake up. But you're not gonna go through this kind of treatment. So the judge threatened the 16 year old with contempt of court, repeatedly suggested she might need to spend some time behind bars, and then just decided to describe graphic scenes and violence that could happen if she went to juvenile detention. Ultimately, he didn't actually charge her with contempt of court. But, yeah, just berated her for her terrible attitude in front of the entire class.
Ultimately allowed her to go home. But he did right before they left. Ask the class Alright. Let's have everybody raise their hands. Should we send her to jail?
Jeez, dude. Settle down a little bit. Court is boring. I know you're into it, judge. Judge Kenneth King, I'm sure you're like, this is my life.
This is exciting for me. It's fun. For a 16 year old, court is never gonna be good. Either you're in there because you're in trouble or you're in there because you're on one of the most boring field trips of all time. I mean, what kind of cases did they cover while this class had to sit there for hours on end?
Sounds like an awful field trip. So, anyway, there's an article about this floating around, and I the the guy apologized, but also defended his actions. He's like, nah. It's being blown out of proportion. You know, the getting asked these questions by the news, this is traumatizing for me.
Oh, get out of here. Alright. I've talked to Nate Eaton. He's a nice fella. Alright.
I've talked to the news before. It's not that bad. Okay? Get over it, buddy. Settle down.
Maybe have yourself a nice cicada infused malort shot. This was in the Chicago area. Had Noonwhistle brewing. Getting some headlines for selling a yeah. It's a shot that has bugs in it.
It's disgusting. And it turns out, I guess, this is apparently illegal. Yeah. You you can't be feeding people bugs, at least in Chicago. I I mean, I've fed my fellow DJs bugs, but they did it by their own free will, and, I wasn't profiting off of it unless you say that the listenership and the enjoyment of our audience was a way to profit watching people eat bugs on Facebook.
Crickets ain't bad, though. I mean, have you seen a cicadas? They're they're disgusting. Look like a June bug or something. Grody.
Alright? I I need to close that tab. I I don't wanna look at bugs in any kind of beverage even if they're crickets because crickets, if you buy them and eat them, they're just crunchy. They're they got, like, no flavor. It's no big deal.
Cicadas look juicy. They're they're thick. Disgusting. But, you know, maybe that's what that that judge needs. Who just unloaded on a poor 16 year old.
Freight news powered by Greasemonkey voted Idaho's best oil change. And you know what? Since it's national relaxation day, if you want to have a shot filled with bugs, you be you. Alright? You go right ahead.
Well, you could probably see him in the dark because he's so big. Peaches in the house. That's right. What's up? Big rotund peaches.
Yeah. Big ole peaches. What's going on? Oh, nothing. It's pre Friday.
Pre Friday. Alright. That's a positive way to roll into a Thursday. I like that peaches. I like it.
Are you familiar with the Butte County area of California? No. Alright. Where is it located? Well, I was gonna try to figure that out, but, I hadn't got around to it because we were chatting with, Crazy Jay about eating bugs.
And when you're talking with Crazy Jay eating bugs, you can't get anything else done. That's true. In case anybody was wondering if Crazy Jay could eat a bug, he would go with, Crazy Jay could eat a bug, he would go with, grasshoppers. Yeah. I mean, I Good choice.
I think I'd stick with crickets. They're they're small. Small and crunchy. Well, it was so funny. Yesterday, for some reason, I decided to go look at all the old reels on our Instagram page at kbaroneonefm, by the way.
There's a whole bunch of old videos of you, Jade, and Brad eating like hot dog pie and Jade put it in his mouth for a second and then all of the trash can out there. Jade cannot stomach, certain textures. He threw away he threw out the cricket too. Yeah. And crickets were easy.
They were. Easy. I put them on the, spam that I had in here. I just ate that. Oh, yeah.
That's right. Yeah. Crickets are nothing. Jade does not handle eating remotely gross things at all. But I will admit the hot dog pie was disgusting.
It looked horrible. It was awful. It was one of the worst items we've eaten on the show. The sir Straumann was the worst, but, hot dog pie was pretty bad. Anyway, back to Butte County.
It's north of Sacramento. Okay. So, yeah, I've never I've never been more north than San Francisco. Isn't, San Francisco further north No. Than, Sacramento?
No. Oh, that's right. It Sacramento is slightly northeast of San Francisco. Anyway, apparently, there has been a pack of 25 Great Danes terrorizing this community for many, many years. 25 wild dogs.
Great days. The big clumsy dogs. Just kick them in the legs. Well, it didn't work out for this woman, Divina Corbin. She dead peaches.
How old was she? 56. Yeah. Too old. That's not that old, Peaches.
Come on. On the Great Dane. Can't do it. There's 25 of them, though, Peaches. Got one at a time.
Man, but that's not how packs of dogs work. They don't roll in 1 at a time. That's why they call it a pack. Pack of dog. Can you imagine?
That's how you go. You get ripped to pieces by a pack of Great Danes Mhmm. In the California woods. I shouldn't laugh. It's not funny.
She's dead. But Womp womp. It is, a way to go, I guess. Sure. I mean, it'll give your, you know, descendants a story.
Yeah. But then your your kids and your grandkids hate Great Danes for the rest of their lives. Yeah. They're wanting to, like, kick every everyone they see at the animal shelter, like, this is for grandma. No.
Because those are those are domesticated great danes. Who cares? The great danes. Not the wild pack of great danes. Stopping people?
I I guess I just didn't realize that wild packs of dogs were a major problem. But the more you think about it, it's like they've gotta be feral cats are an issue in a lot of places. Wild packs of everything are an issue somewhere. Killed by, like, 14 Koopas. That's that's pretty sad.
That's way worse than great days. Alright. Cats, they have a lot of strength. You know? Koopa, when he gets mad, it's kind of frightening.
You know? But there's only one of them. If there were 25 Koopas versus me, I think the cats could win Nah. If they worked in a pack. Just get a water gun.
Just a little squirt gun? That's how you take them. In the corner? Yeah. If only that worked for packs of, Great Danes.
I don't they'd think that's fun. Right? I I could see you being terrorized in your living room just with a squirt gun waiting for the the Koopas to to turn the corner. Oh, man. Can you imagine having 25 cats?
I know there are people that do it. Oh, their house has to smell so terrible. 25? Must be so annoying to go to bed at night. Background.
Yeah. Because they're at least one of them is gonna be yowling. Yeah. I got 2 and it's enough of a problem to try to go to bed at night. Have to kick them out on the reg, you know, even if one of them is outside.
You said one's biting your feet, imagine 25 cats in the bedroom. 25? Just crawling all over you, biting you, fighting, hissing. I don't know what cat my dad had. I don't know what his name was.
It was Fritz or something like that. It would be laying on him when he'd go to sleep. He'd fall asleep. Cat would just start biting his nose and, like, hit him in the face with his paws. My dad would be like, what is wrong with you?
Cats, man. See, that's the thing is you're not gonna have a pack of cats because they they don't give a crap. They're very independent and they hate each other, you know? So you don't have to worry about packs of wild cats. It's you never hear of a pack of mountain lions, thankfully.
Can you imagine? Then this is why you should feed Koopa religiously. Make him real chunky and so that way when he tries biting you, he can't. He just does that weird downward motion biting thing where he can't reach your hand. When you try to pet his belly.
Yeah. I try to feed him a good amount of food, but now Lucy just eats all his food. Well, Lucy's growing up. She she's getting big, dude. Yeah.
She's she's gonna be really big, I think. Because she's only, like, 3 or 4 months old, and she's getting close to his size. I mean, she's not quite that big. She's Daphne was, picking on Luna when Luna was a kitten. Luna outgrew her.
Yeah. I I think, Lucy could potentially end up bigger than Koopa. You never know. He's pretty big, but she just she's mean to him. She's a little bully to Koopa.
He and he's he listens. So when I'm like, Koopa, no. Because I think he could actually really hurt her. He'll stop, but then she just keeps attacking him. Aw.
Because she doesn't know you, like, why'd you stop me? I wanna beat the crap out of this Exactly. Yeah. It's like me it's like me with my younger sister as a kid. We were both just going fighting each other.
Yeah. So he's like, well, screw you. I'm going outside then. I've had it with your crap. Just hang out with her.
Fine. I don't like you anymore. Cat jealousy, man. If I'm petting him, she'll just jump right on him. Just like, no.
Don't give him attention. We used to have a cat named Sam that was a real big fat guy and, they he didn't didn't get along with other cats at all. He loved people. Yeah. I've I've I've seen that many a time.
We kept him at my parents' work because we had 3 other cats at the home at the house. Three cats at home and one at work. Mhmm. Yeah. I've had 3 cats before.
That's that's a lot of cats. Oh, Bandit was the worst. I told you about Bandit. Mhmm. Just slide the comforter down the stairs.
Cats can be real terrors, man. But but at least they don't travel in packs and kill people. True. You know? Yeah.
I have a Is it a piece to, is it Deborah? I what was her name? I closed the window here, but now I am curious. Pack of cats attacks. Let's just see if this is no.
You just get if cats were pack predators, would they try to attack humans? Oh, wait. Gang of feral cats attacks woman and her dog in France. A cat gang. I'm not the only one with a gang called cats.
It's an actual gang. Not even just cats. French cats. Wow. In the back alley.
Yeah, dude. A gang of feral cats in France. Swing your baguette? Attacked a woman and her poodle. Alright.
Do you think that they Of course, she had a poodle. Yeah. Of course. Do you think they would have attacked if it was a a Great Dane? Or do you think the pack of cats would have been like It's funny because I think, I think the cats would have attacked like a chihuahua, but a chihuahua is feisty.
Yeah. Versus like a dog that looks like Chop from GTA 5. They wouldn't attack that one, but that dog is incredibly friendly. Well, if you ever wondered, Peaches, who would win in a battle between a 31 year old woman and 1 poodle versus 6 wild cats? That's pretty lame.
The cats the cats won. Well, she she's still alive, I'm assuming. Yeah. She didn't die, but, she had to go to the hospital, and, it says she's traumatized. Well, yeah, if you if you got attacked by 6 cats, that would be traumatized.
I would show up to, like, a a local shelter with, like, a wood chipper. Be like, I'm gonna chuck Jeez. Jeez. Well, looks like Walter White is back. I don't know.
I don't know how to tie that into this other than this is a meth story. Auckland, New Zealand. Charity working with homeless people, unknowingly distributed candies filled with lethal doses of meth in its food parcels after the sweets were donated by a member of the public. So the Auckland City Mission has been working to contact up to 400 people to track down these parcels that have their little candies, but they're not candy. They're just solid chunks of meth in candy wrappers, each candy up to 300 times the level someone would normally take.
So, yeah, it could kill you dead. How did they find out about this? I'm guessing. Somebody ate the candy. Yeah.
Jeez. 8 families, including at least 1 child. Hey. Hey, kids. You want a little treat?
Jeez. And these are for families in need? That's horrible. Terrible. Now no one was hospitalized because if you get a kid candy, they'd probably tray tastes like Draino or something.
Yeah. They spit the candy out immediately. Bloop blah. What is this? So, anyway, the person who donated them was also unsure how they got their hands on them.
They said these candies were worth, like, $700 a piece or something on the black market. So somebody out a lot of dough. Somebody delivered the wrong candy to the bad guys. This is a movie waiting to be made here. Sound like it could be a slapstick comment potentially, but it would also be kind of bleak because you know in the movies somebody gonna eat the whole candy and end up dead you know it's not as simple as real life where they go oh yuck that tastes like household chemicals not very tasty candy I mean I've had some candy in my day that was gross but not gross enough that I'd it.
You know? Anyway, just in time to get people scared for Halloween, which is coming up in about 2 months. Thanks. Thanks, New Zealand criminals. Just what we need, some some more fearmongering in the news.
But, yeah, you may wanna check your kids' candy just in case. They're gonna get sad when you're taste testing every one of their candies but you can guess you never know anymore. People gotta ruin candy for children. That's what criminals are doing nowadays, ruining candy. Shame.
Shame upon them. We got peaches in the house. What is up, peaches? Why why did you scream that? Because the music's still loud.
I'm talking over it. The veil? They're fading out. Alright. Now I can talk at a normal volume level.
So what's up, peaches? What's on your mind? Well, you know, the Olympics in 2028 are going to be in Los Angeles. Los Angeles. And that is potentially going to suck.
Why? Well, because it's like me trying to go home that year. The ticket prices are gonna be like $2,000 to fly back. I'd be much rather, it would be cheaper just to drive the whole way from Idaho Falls to Southern California. That's true.
That's true. It's gonna be no time during Olympic time for you to go home. Plus, would you wanna be in town at that time anywhere? It's gonna be overloaded. The traffic will be worse than ever.
Yeah. So there's gonna be tourists everywhere. Yeah. Like, do you think I'm gonna go hang out in Salt Lake during the Olympics in 2032? I ain't going down there.
Right. Be a nightmare. Mhmm. No way. No way.
So, yeah, if if you do need to go, I would recommend driving for sure. Hopefully, gas prices will not increase incredibly in the next 4 years. You never know. Right. But you know who you can blame?
The president who's in charge of all of our gas and grocery prices. That's right. Bidenomics. I I've seen that that phrase on air. Mhmm.
And, you know, for a guy who can't even get on TV and speak and everybody says he's got dementia, he is sure good about controlling world economics. I need that. Is it, it's an act? Is that what's going on there? It's not like I've I've been reading a lot of conspiracy theories online recently, Peaches.
Well, there's a lot of people making fun of, Kamala too because it's like she was like, oh, I'm gonna promise this when I become president. Say, well, you're VP right now. You could. That's what I find funny about all politicians that people seem to forget. They all make a lot of promises.
They don't deliver on them. It's all fake. And then people get mad at the next person for making promises that they don't end up keeping, and then they'll vote for the person from before that made a bunch of promises that they didn't keep thinking that now this time they're gonna do it. Like, we we could throw it out at all politicians. Alright?
It doesn't matter which side they're on. Endless promises that just never happen. Alright? And I could start making listeners mad right now. Oh, I can do it.
Out the specific things. I can make fun of a whole lot of, people with their certain stickers and such. Like, both people running for office right now, Trump and Harris, are saying they're going to stop inflation on day 1. How? That's an unrealistic promise to make because as the president, you don't control inflation.
It's a worldwide problem. You deflate the balloon. Deflate the balloon. Sure. Sure.
Like, day 1, I'm gonna do it it's like just could could you throw out some realistic expectations? Could you Either side, please. If they say I'm gonna stop inflation the first day in office. They take a balloon out and they deflate it on TV. That that would be pretty funny.
They'll give me a laugh. But, yeah, like, it's funny to me that people will buy into unrealistic expectations. Like, that that one for sure, it just doesn't make sense. Like, you can't just flip a switch and go inflation is over because There's a button below the desk that's obviously controlling inflation, Victor. Come on now.
Yeah. It's a worldwide problem. You know, it's affecting, the UK. It's our president doesn't have that much power. I thought this went from Olympics to now this.
It probably somehow all ties together in some kind of a conspiracy. Well, I do find it funny the mayor of LA was all like, oh, we're gonna clean up the place. It's, like, we could be doing that now. You could be not I didn't see that many homeless people down there luckily when I was there a couple weeks ago. Well, did you go to Santa Monica?
Boy, I watched a, like, 10 minute YouTube video yesterday about, how horrible Santa Monica's become. I guess it's now considered one of the 10, deadliest cities in America. Oh. I guess it's really bad there. Like and you think about that as being tourist central.
Well, when was it uploaded? Like, a week ago? Okay. Yeah. Like, they were showing, you know, the difference between a few years ago and now and Yeah.
But I could you can alter footage too. Like, that's the thing too is I could easily show all the crime that happens on my street and go, oh, Compton Falls. I mean, Idaho Falls at it again. Yeah. But no.
Okay. They were showing, like, okay. There's an area called, like, the promenade or promenade or something. Promenade. Yeah.
Most of the businesses are closed. Oh, yeah. Shopping malls are Yeah. It's like it's, like, empty. And then they went down to the pier.
Like, the locals are like, we don't go to the pier anymore. Right. And they were shooting footage of the the pier. You know, there just the drug use going on all over the place. There were people just screaming in the middle of street.
But that's how it is. Like, it's the problem is that you have these, like, zombified people that are just like everywhere, and then you see in the comments section online that say, like, that's somebody's daughter. How sad? It's like, well, you could say that about anybody. I could say, like, you know, what was the Ted whoever's Ted Bundy?
That was somebody's son. Give him give him some, you know. Well, I think there's a difference between Ted Bundy and somebody who has a drug problem and just say that on the street. Oh, that's somebody's daughter. That's somebody's son.
Well, it's true. It's true. And I I think, you know, it'd be great if they could get get people some help. I there's not a really good answer for how to deal with, drug problems and homelessness because they've they've tried a variety of things in all kinds of different cities. I don't know what the solution is.
Hence why I don't run for politics because I don't wanna make a bunch of promises that I'm gonna fix things that can't be fixed. But I just, you know, want people to temper their expectations sometimes when it comes to things that politicians can do. The president does not control that much. The people around the president have way more power than the president. The congress, you know, our senators, the house, the senate, all these people, extremely wealthy business owners.
Look at you, BlackRock. Now we can get into housing problems as well. I don't know. I just find it funny a lot of things that people will buy into because politicians can make realistic expectations, but sometimes they get a little bit wacky with it. And, like, you're never gonna accomplish these things.
I'm not gonna get into specifics now even though I can think of some really ridiculous things that have been promised. But I'm waiting for that one guy to call in and go, shut up and play the music. That's okay. Yeah. We we babble on sometimes, and I don't even know how we got to this point.
So Well, I was gonna talk about how breakdancing got banned from the 20 28 Olympics where it's no longer gonna be a sport for the Olympics because of, like, that one particular Australian person that was named Ray Gun or something like that. Hey. A meme. You know what? They they made breakdancing go viral even if they did a bad job.
You know? If you send your country's best and that's the best they got, it's it's not their fault that they're not good. Right. You know? Come on.
Let's have some viral moments from the Olympics. Sure. Generally, the Olympics are boring. You know? Would people be talking about the Olympics if if Gojira hadn't crushed it and that breakdancing hadn't happened and the guy that was great at shooting without all the gear?
Or the pole vaulter that had the pole hitches. Yeah. The pole vaulter that, you know, he just, genetically was not built for pole vaulter. Oh, he's now he now has, a job modeling swimsuits. I bet he does.
Yeah. Yeah. I see a lot of interesting things. Jeez. I had the mic turned up way too loud.
My goodness. Anyway, I see a lot of interesting things in the Idaho related groups and subreddits online. Somebody asked recently on Reddit, should I go on vacation to Twin Falls or McCall? I don't know. Have you googled these places?
Not trying to bash on twin falls. I mean, it's in the magic valley, but it's not burly. Alright. But Google up McCall. Read a little bit about it.
I would assume McCall is always going to be a better vacation destination than Twin Falls. Now maybe if you're on a real budget. But, man, if I have the choice of going on a vacation between pretty much, anywhere in Twin Falls, I'm gonna go with just about anywhere. It's it's Twin Falls. Alright.
Pocatello or Twin Falls. I'm going to Pokey every time. Idaho Falls or Twin Falls? Well, duh. Idaho Falls every time.
Right? What are you supposed to do in Twin Falls aside from, I don't know, go check out Shoshone Falls? After that, what do you do? Most people keep driving and go to jackpot. Go to Nevada and waste a bunch of their money gambling.
Yeah. I'll admit I've never understood much the allure of jackpot. I've been there many times. Little tiny casino town. I've seen some bands play there.
I'm just not a gambling guy, so I don't know. Every time I've ended up there, I'm just like, well, I can't wait to get out of jackpot. Why am I here? If gambling's your thing, I I guess. But I had a lot of friends over the years of like, yeah, especially when I was working and living in Burley.
Let's go to jackpot. I'm like, dude, we don't have any money. Why would we go to jackpot? We'll win money. The house always has the edge, people.
The house always has the edge. You know, if you're in that area, just drive to the city of rocks. Go check that out. I don't know if there's a fee to get in there. If so, it's a very small fee, but, you know, just go walk around and enjoy the awesome weird alien landscape rock formations.
Not trying to poo poo on jackpot. It ain't Idaho anyway. Right? I should encourage people to do Idaho tourism. You know?
And if you if you don't wanna do McCall, you could just keep driving. You end up you know, take the right road. Go to the Sawtooth Mountains and look around. Just take a dirt road. Taking a dirt road in the middle of the woods is as long as there ain't, you know, backwood, hills have eyes type people living out there.
It's always gonna be better than going to Twin Falls. What a weird question. McCall or Twin Falls? McCall's yeah. It's it's fine.
It's nice. It's expensive. But sure. Yeah. Just do a road trip.
I don't know. Okay. And if you haven't seen Shoshone falls, it's it's very nice. It's very cool. An epic Idaho waterfall.
But yeah. I don't know. Like I said, scrolling the Idaho groups and subreddits is always a bit interesting. Right now, it's pretty much political arguments, and some of those get to be kind of strange as well. Somebody was talking about, you know, how would, project 2025 impact Idaho and people start screaming at each other.
And most of the commenters in there were saying, like, that that's conspiracy theory. No. I I in case you're unaware, it does exist. Whether or not it would be implemented is one thing, but it does exist. I don't know if you saw this, but 14 hours of videos from the people who threw that together leaked online.
I mean, I ain't gonna sit and watch 14 minutes of policy, you know, people who wanna make policy babble on about what they wanna do. 14 hours, but it's on YouTube. I mean, you can check it out. Just kinda weird. I didn't know people thought it was, you know, didn't exist.
Like, you can read it. It's right there. But that's, you know, that's the the nature of the Internet. You'd have something right in front of your face. People don't believe it, or you could have something ridiculous in front of your face, like, you know, most of them bigfoot videos and people like, yeah, it's real.
Oh, the Internet's a wacky place. Anyway. Yeah. Go to Mccall over Twin Falls. K?
It it's a much better decision for how to pass your time. We got a nice lake there. Alright? It's a nice area. I really need a road trip.
I really do. I intended to jump on air a few minutes ago about, 5, and I was on the phone with a a friend of mine, a homie. He lives on the other side of the country. You've heard of him. And we were chatting about an upcoming visit.
He was gonna come out here and hang out. So been trying to get him to come hang out for I don't know. It's been a number of years since he's been out here to hang, but looks like we got it locked in. So make sure to tune in to traffic school tomorrow morning at 8:45 AM. I'll give you the scoop on who's gonna come hang out in East Idaho and why they're coming to hang out and some really fun giveaways and cool stuff.
But I'm pumped. I'm pumped. And I know you will be as well. And you're thinking, one of Victor's friends coming to hang, who could it be that I would be excited about? Well, it's one of my friends you know.
I know you know this friend of mine. And hopefully, you'll get to hang out with them too. Alright? It's all I'm gonna say for now, but, it was a nice phone call. Sounds like lots of fun plans being locked in.
Tune into traffic school tomorrow morning powered by the advocates at 8:45 AM to get the full scoop on everything. I'm very excited. Very excited. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show. This program's a production of river.
