The Viktor Wilt Show

In this episode, Viktor Wilt staggers into the studio like a frostbitten prophet returning from a perilous quest through Idaho’s icy tundra, mumbling about black ice and the mayoral race as though they are equal threats to humanity. The show begins with Viktor shivering into the microphone, spiritually defeated by the weather, time, existence, and also, somehow, by a raccoon in Virginia that drank itself unconscious in a liquor store bathroom. Viktor becomes irrationally jealous of the raccoon, openly fantasizing about trading lives with an inebriated trash panda just so he can get a nap. As he descends deeper into sleep-deprivation madness, he threatens to hibernate on the office’s bathroom floor but only in the women's room, because, as he explains with apocalyptic certainty, men “have no aim.”

From there, the show spirals into a delirious blizzard of Florida Man crimes, raccoon rabies, and a van-life existential crisis where Viktor seems genuinely unsure whether he’s hosting a radio show or trapped in a fever dream at a KOA campground. He contemplates the horrors of carpet shampooing like he’s scrubbing the floors of an Eldritch temple, gagging on phantom cleaning-supply smells that have somehow merged with his soul.

Then Peaches arrives — a harbinger of cursed energy — and detonates the episode with the revelation that he has been permanently banned from the Seether subreddit, triggering a meltdown in which the two of them roast hypothetical fedora-wearing Reddit moderators who guard the digital shrine of Seether like medieval trolls guarding a swamp. Peaches reenacts the emotional devastation of receiving a ban notification while he was peacefully playing Postal 2, and Viktor cackles like a cryptid as they unravel the six-month-old internet beef that refuses to die, haunting them like a ghost that smells like Axe body spray and Hot Pockets.

The episode then takes a sudden hard-left turn into Tarantino’s Top 20 Films, hot chocolate weakening your bones, and a lengthy, deranged scientific inquiry into “Which animal could get the drunkest?” During this segment Viktor consults Wikipedia like a mad oracle, ranting about angry drunk elephants, caffeinated bees, and catnip-fueled feline rampages while Peaches contemplates whether a camel could store alcohol in its humps like biological kegs. Viktor then confesses that his girlfriend’s tiny gremlin-cat Jess becomes a violent catnip warlord who bullies his larger, gentler cat Koopa with the confidence of a drug-fueled mob boss.

Somewhere between the nut-ranking segment (yes, genuinely a nut-ranking segment) and speculating on whether animals can get wasted off oranges, Viktor’s sanity fully evaporates. He begins narrating his struggle to find content as though he’s a lone survivor in the apocalypse broadcasting from a bunker with only raccoon news and a single copy of Black Hawk Down to sustain him.

By the end of the show, Viktor and Peaches have completely surrendered to chaos, devolving into a delirious conversation about bathroom etiquette, screaming in East Idaho News hallways, and whether they should adopt the world’s meanest cat as a household enforcer. The episode concludes with Viktor acknowledging — proudly, almost triumphantly — that the entire morning has been “nonsense,” and that he has achieved absolutely nothing except surviving, rambling, and feeding Idaho Falls a buffet of pure, unhinged morning radio madness.

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.

Hey, what up? It's Victor Wilt. Good morning. Happy frigid Wednesday. Jeez, it is cold outside. [instrumental music plays] Yikes. Uh, nothing like dealing with a little bit of snow on a Tuesday, and endless chores on a Tuesday, and staying up too late on a Tuesday, and then rolling in here, uh.

But

at least I don't have the flu or something like that. Getting the job done. Hope you're having a good morning so far. Uh, if you haven't left your house yet, like I mentioned, it sucks outside. It's cold, so give yourself, uh, some extra time getting to where you need to be. Roads could, you know, certainly be slick in some areas. All right. I hadn't been looking at the weather forecast for a couple weeks 'cause I didn't wanna know what was coming our way, but I guess m- might as well take a look and see if we have even more of this crap to deal with. Let's see here. Uh, maybe on Friday, but other than that, looks like, hey, should warm back up a bit, so that, that's good. You know? By, uh, by Monday, maybe get back up into the 40s, 50s. Uh, all right. Maybe I won't even deal with any snow if we get any on Friday. I'll just wait for it to melt. Hopefully it's not a lot of it. All right. Aside from that, mayoral race is over. I haven't been on, uh, social media yet. Hopefully, uh, everybody's being calm. You never know. It was getting, getting pretty, pretty wild yesterday. Saw one really funny post where a guy was talking about the forces of darkness and evil. That made me laugh. It's like, dude, it- it's a mayoral race, all right? [laughs] Everything's gonna be okay.

So, all right. That's all over with. Now, what are people going to fight about in the Life In Idaho Falls group on Facebook? I don't know. We'll, we'll scope it out later. I would imagine there will be a little bit of, uh, mayoral fallout, but

hopefully that goes away quick 'cause I think people are pretty tired of it.

Uh, I shouldn't have said the word tired. It reminded me. It's all right. May- maybe this weekend can sleep in a little bit. Fingers crossed. Uh, just wish it was Friday instead of Wednesday. [instrumental music plays] Sorry, I'm trying to wake up here. And then I read a story

about a raccoon taking a nap. I was jealous. Now, I'm sure this raccoon wasn't feeling very good, 'cause this raccoon broke into a Virginia Liquor store, knocked a bunch of bottles off the shelf, apparently drank a bunch of the booze, and then they found it passed out in the bathroom. [laughs] They got a picture of it just sprawled out on the floor. He's fine. They ended up, uh, bringing m- bringing him back to the animal shelter, and you know, checked him out. No signs of injury once he came to, and released him back into the wild. But you know you're sleepy when you get jealous of a raccoon sleeping on a bathroom floor. [laughs] Like, uh, that's better than not sleeping. Oh man. Hope your morning's going good. [laughs] Hope you're not feeling like that raccoon did after it woke up.

Uh, and just try to stay warm out there, people. I'll, I'll dig up something better than a drunk raccoon story, or at least I'll try. [laughs] We'll see how this show goes along. I have a feeling it's gonna be a long day, but that's all right. We power through. Power through. Get the job done. Deliver the goods. All right. I'll get back to digging. Hang on. [instrumental music plays] What is up, people? All right. Almost 7 o'clock. Let's, uh, let's have this day go by at the pace it has been so far, which is decent. Uh, it'd be nice if I could just blink and be done with it, but okay, I'll s- I'll stop complaining. Can't wait for Peaches to get here later, 'cause he's got a really funny story from last night. But, uh, wouldn't be, wouldn't be right for me to tell you about, 'cause it was his fault. [laughs] Making Seether fans mad. Uh, I don't know what's up with the, uh, Seether subreddit, but they must have like alerts just set for any time anything Seether pops up online. We recently, uh, posted all of our podcast episodes on YouTube. I mean, when I say recently, it was like three days ago I put 'em back up on there. And I mean, i- immediately, immediately

[laughs] they dig up some old Peaches rambling, and just lose it. It's g- i- it'll be funny. We'll wait for Peaches to get in to talk about that. Uh, aside from that, let's see. Shout out to JD bringing me a breakfast sandwich. I, I definitely need the fuel. It's either gonna help me or I'm just gonna crash and be in full nap mode. Full nap mode like the, uh, the raccoon that passed out in the liquor store. Uh. By the way, uh, a little bit foggy outside, so on top of potentially cruddy roads, uh, give yourself extra time as it is, uh, definitely foggier right now than when I arrived at work earlier today. So, be careful. Be careful. Okay. Um,

yeah, I didn't find anything to talk about, uh, during the last few minutes. [laughs] Sorry. You know, ev- every once in a while I'm gonna do a break that sucks, and this is one of 'em. You're gonna have to forgive me, but I promise I'll come up with something good in a minute. Okay?[rock music] Give me, give me like 10 minutes. We'll have something else to, uh, to chat about, all right?

Try to stay warm out there. Just don't go outside if you don't have to. Uh, chilly, a little bit brisk. All right, as I scrolled through the good old internet here, apparently Quentin Tarantino, famed director of movies like, you know,

Pulp Fiction and such, he was recently on a podcast and was asked to name his top 20 movies of the, uh, 21st century. Always interesting to see what a guy like him would pick. You know, 'cause his movies, they're very artsy. Um, you know, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, uh, Kill Bill, you know? They're, they're very talky, lots of talking in his movies. They're, they're not for everybody. I, I dig them, for sure, but

this list kinda surprised me. So, I figured we'd take a look at it here. Uh, you would think he'd have some, some very artsy films. And some of these movies, I, I would never have guessed he'd pick them as some of his favorites. Like, for example, coming in at number 19, Cabin Fever, which is a great movie. It's fun. It's a fun horror movie. It's got that awesome scene with the, uh, the little kid doing the, the ninja kicks that's really hilarious. He's got a, a blond mullet. [laughs] A- anyway, one of his choices for one of the 20 best movies of the 21st century. Uh, you know, some of the others you, you might not be, uh, too surprised. Maybe like, uh, West Side Story, the newer one done by, uh, Steven Spielberg. Moneyball is another very, uh, renowned movie. But number 16, The Devil's Rejects from Rob Zombie, which is a... I mean, that's like grade A horror. It's top-tier horror. I need to watch that one again. It's been a really long time. Uh, what else does he have here? The School of Rock! Yeah, you know the Jack Black movie? He's got this at number 14 on his list. Uh, he's got, uh, Jackass on here at number 13 [laughs]. It's just like... I, I don't know. I just wouldn't expect that from Quentin Tarantino. Number 11, Battle Royale. And I like, uh, that he throws some, uh, heavy jabs at The Hunger Games, 'cause yeah, when The Hunger Games came out, I was like, "This seems really familiar." 'Cause it's basically Battle Royale, which is this o- awesome, crazy Japanese movie. It's basically like The Hunger Games, but just, just better. Uh, what else do we have here? Number 10, Midnight in Paris. Number nine, Shaun of the Dead. A lot of horror on this list, pretty cool. Uh, Mad Max: Fury Road, that's a really cool movie, coming in at, uh, number eight. Zodiac at number six. There Will Be Blood at number five. See, that's the kinda stuff I would expect to see, There Will Be Blood. Uh, Dunkirk, which, uh, I don't think I ever finished that. I bought it on a 4K Blu-ray, and I, I started it. I don't remember what happened. Number two on his list, Toy Story 3. Yeah.

It, it's a, it's a very sad movie. And that's what got him, the last five minutes of it [laughs]. And then number one, Black Hawk Down, which is, you know, a great movie. So, I don't know. If you're looking for something good to watch, you can check out Quentin Tarantino's top 20 movies.

You know, if you didn't remember all the movies I just named, just Google it, all right? You can pull it up. It's online. It's on Google. Well, I guess if there's any time to visit Florida, it would be today, right? Well, might have to put up with some people, though. Uh, we've got, uh, Florida men in their 80s arrested for exposing themselves to undercover detectives. Just another day in Florida. Um, [laughs] half of the Florida man stories I see I, I can't even share with you 'cause they're, they're just so gross. Uh, this one, let's see. If you're a criminal, you probably shouldn't have a doormat that says, "Come back with a warrant." That tends to get people's attention a little bit. Arrested in large-scale fraud scheme

after a local sheriff showed up with a warrant. [laughs] Oh, I guess he posed as a fake real estate investor and, uh, just took a bunch of money from people. Um,

looking at this guy's mugshot, I, I don't know. I don't know if I would trust this guy's word that he was an investor, uh, especially if I saw his apartment. His apartment looks like a dump. Um, you'd think a real estate investor might have a nicer place. Um... [laughs]

We already talked about the Florida man who, uh, started blasting off rounds in a bar after an argument over how many eggs a hen lays. That one's been around for a bit. Kind of, kind of quiet in the Florida man world. Is everybody just enjoying the, uh, cooler weather down there right now? I think right now is about the perfect time of year to be in Florida, right? Or is it hurricane season? I don't know. It's far enough away, I don't pay attention. Doesn't really get much further away in the US than, than Florida, so... Ugh! I'm like debating, do I get more coffee or, or not? Hey, man, I was not feeling it today, my people. Don't worry, though. Don't worry. I'll find more stuff to talk about, I promise. Ugh! I was working on a lot of chores around the house last night. You know, shout out to my girlfriend for motivating me. I didn't want to do anything. She was like, "Come on, chop-chop. Let's go." Needed to rent a carpet shampooer.

[Rock music playing] ... 'cause, you know, I don't know if you've recently tried to

hire people to come do that for you, but it's outside of my budget. So, it's like, all right, gotta do it ourselves. And

I- I've got the smell of some of the cleaning supplies I was using just stuck in my head. It's driving me nuts. I just wanna go to sleep. [sobs] Okay. Uh, could be worse. Could be living in a van down by the river. Yeah. I watched a documentary one time about van life. Now, you might end up in a life situation where you have to live in a van. It would, it would, it would suck. But there are people who choose to live in a van. They just are like, th- this is my life, I'm gonna live in a van. And I saw a news article pop up

where these people were talking about how, you know, they were asked to move their van

'cause, you know, they'd been hanging out in the park for too long, and they're like, "There's nowhere for us to go." You're in a van, you can go anywhere. [laughs] To travel to a different city. I, I don't know. But I, I just don't understand living the van life by choice. You know? Th- To each their own,

but it just sounds very claustrophobic. And, I mean, do they have a toilet in their van? You wanna be th- that close to the crapper? It's bad enough when you, you know, have a camper and you gotta deal with, you know, the black tank. Van's just too small. It's just too small for this.

For some reason, this article about people living in vans, it just made me feel exhausted. [laughs] Just made me even [laughs] more tired just thinking about being stuck in a van. Ugh. I hope you're all doing okay. Well, it's getting cold outside. You know, make sure you do what you can to help out people in need during the winter months. Some people got it really rough. That's why I shouldn't sit here and complain, "Oh, I had to shampoo my carpets." [sobs] It's not a fun task. I don't know, it's sorta satisfying

till you get about, like, two, three hours in, and then you're like, "All right. I, I can't take this anymore. No more shampooing."

Hopefully I can get pumped up to do more of it later today. [laughs] Gotta get your money's worth out of the, the rented carpet shampooer. [laughs] All right. I'm gonna dig up some freak news. I'm gonna close out this tab about living in a van. Should be grateful. You know, it should make me feel better about myself, but it's just making [laughs] me sleepy. I'd, I'd go sleep in a van right now. I mean, get a nice sleeping bag. It could be worse. Okay. I'm babbling. I'll be back. [Music plays] Much as you might wanna help an injured animal in need, if it's a wild animal, you gotta call somebody who's an expert. Gotta call Fish and Game or Animal Control. Don't just pick that raccoon up and toss it in your passenger seat and hit the road. You have this guy in Georgia, you know, he... I don't know wh- what happened here. He just found an injured raccoon. There's not a lot more information than that, but he wrapped it up in his coat and held it against his chest as he drove for over an hour,

and

apparently the raccoon didn't wanna be held, so it just started biting the crap outta the guy and bit him all over his face and hands. So he, uh, [laughs] wrapped it in a blanket with duct tape and then took it to this nature center, so they could get it all, you know, kenneled up, and they're like, "Dude, you should probably go to the hospital, man." And he's like, "Ah, it's just some scratches. I'll be, I'll be fine." But it turns out, you know, they tested the raccoon. Yeah, it's packing rabies. So [laughs] they're like, "Dude, you endangered a bunch of people at the facility. You know, you, we know you're trying to do something nice here, dude, but

don't potentially expose a bunch of, you know, random people in the public to, uh, rabid wildlife." I... No word as to whether or not the guy himself ended up getting rabies, but I'd say there's a pretty good chance. Yeah, gotta leave the raccoon be. Call somebody. Don't put wild animals in your vehicle. It could be bad. Uh, what else do we got here? Oh, this, this guy.

I'm, I'm actually kind of impressed looking at the photo here. The story's kinda dark, but also, I mean, th- the degree to which people will go in order to keep getting easy money. This guy's mother passed away. He's a 56-year-old man. She passed away about three years ago at the age of 82, and instead of reporting her death, you know, he just kinda

hid her body in the house. And then he started dressing up like her. The, uh, they're calling it the, uh, the Mrs. Doubtfire scandal. Looking at a picture of the guy, I mean, he's got a wig, he's got the makeup, earrings, and he actually looks quite a bit like his mom. So, you know, he was just basically getting her, uh, her pension, and then at some point needed to update her ID. So he went down [laughs] to, I guess, the local DMV or whatever, and, uh, they're like, "Hmm, your deep voice and, uh, also your, your thick neck. Uh, you look a little bit weird, buddy." Yeah, I guess, uh, the makeup job wasn't quite good enough. You know, something felt a little bit off, so they, uh, called the cops in, and, yeah, turned out.[instrumental music] Yeah, he d- he duped them out of about, uh, $153,000 over a couple years. [laughs] Geez. Uh... They, I, I, I assume he's going to jail for a while for that one. H- seems like the authorities wouldn't dig that very much. Okay, let's see here. Got a guy accused of bringing a meth bottle into an IHOP. What- what's a meth bottle? Combustible bottle of methamphetamine. Yeah, I guess he got, uh, you know, reported at IHOP. It was about 6:30 in the afternoon. Oh, he'd been talking about having a bomb.

Okay. He called it a shake and bake. Uh, okay, it's like, I guess some way of making meth that, you know, it could just explode, and he brought it to the restaurant to possibly make it safe. Um, don't do meth, people, 'kay? Meth is bad, mm-kay? Um, luckily no one was hurt, [laughs] but he was just walking around shaking it. Geez. Just trying to enjoy some pancakes, and this is the kinda crap you have to put up with. Where was this? Columbia, Missouri. All right. Like I said earlier, Florida Man been taking a break. We haven't seen a lot of, uh, crazy Florida Man stories recently. Hey, keep 'em coming, Missouri. I gotta have something to talk about on this show.

[rock music] I've got a health warning for the holiday season. And, uh, again, this is not a real health warning, 'kay? This is just some crap I'm reading online

about a holiday beverage, popular holiday beverage that may weaken your bones. What could it be? Eggnog? Ugh. Sorry, I can't do eggnog. I don't know what it is. Just n- not my jam. No! We're talking about a delicious beverage that may contain more than twice the sugar of a standard candy bar, one of them evil hot beverages. We're talking about hot chocolate. Don't drink it. It's bad for you. And you might be thinking, "But it's got milk. It's got calcium-rich milk." Yeah, but what about all the other crap you put in there, huh? Ah.

Getting it with the works, adding some sprinkles and whipped cream. [laughs] They're ju- they're just trying to ruin the holidays for everybody, huh? "Kids, I want some hot chocolate. It's snowy and cold outside." "No, it's bad for your bones." [laughs] Have some water and shut up. Um, you can probably have some hot chocolate every once in a while, but... [laughs] Yeah, there's a l- lot of sugar in that stuff. I don't like hot beverages, so

I, I don't, I don't gotta worry about this one. Yeah. I don't care if it's hot chocolate. I don't even really like soup that much. [laughs] Depends on the soup, all right? Those broth-based soups, uh, not really my jam either. Was talking with Becca about ramen the other day. She's like, "We should go out and get some ramen." I'm like, "I just don't get it." [laughs]

That's 20 cents a packet at the grocery store. We can put an egg in there. We can do it. Anyhow, just wanted to ruin hot chocolate for everybody. [rock music] Morning, Peaches.

Good morning.

What up, you troublemaker?

Oh, man.

You're such a jerk. I can't even believe it. The trouble you stirred up six months ago, but due to, uh, the fact that we just barely put our podcast on YouTube, apparently it talked about it for six months straight. Oh, that's so funny, dude. I get a call from Peaches last night, everybody. You know, I'm working on shampooing floors and doing chores, and ugh. And then Peaches like, "Dude, I got banned from the Seether subreddit!" [laughs]

I was just sitting there playing Postal 2, just minding my own business, doing my own thing. All of a sudden, I get a message from Reddit. And usually, I only get stuff like that if I comment on something and someone replies to me.

Yeah.

Well, it just said like, "You have been permanently banned from R/Seether."

[laughs]

And I went, "Okay, am I just now getting this alert?" Like, I wa- was I banned a few months back because of those weirdos in there?

Yeah.

But no, apparently some, o- one of their moderators who was already so heated th- about, about the previous situation that... Should we talk about that whole thing?

Yeah, we can recap it 'cause it's been about six months.

Yeah. So when I inter- before I interviewed Seether, you always tell me to go to these subreddits and, and ask, "Hey, do you have any questions?" Or, "Hey, I'm about to interview so-and-so from this band. Um, definitely keep an eye out on their YouTube," or things like that, right?

'Cause you never know. They might come up with something good that in the course of conversation it's like, "Oh yeah, I remember that question." Boom, and yeah, i- it can be helpful.

In the course of conversation.

Yeah.

See, that's... I'm glad you said that. W-

In the course of conversation.

So, I asked the subreddit. They give me all of these questions of like, "Why haven't you guys released this? Why haven't you guys done this? When is this gonna be finally released?" Blah, blah, this, et cetera.

Yeah.

So, I didn't ask any o- single one of those questions because I'm in a tiny little room with Dale and the tour manager of the band. And so I don't wanna, I don't wanna make both those guys mad and just start full on [laughs] yelling questions.

[laughs]

"Why haven't you guys done this?"

[laughs] Well, and it's a, a bad way to interview.

Yes.

Y- you know, you just wanna have a conversation with them and, you know, m- make it as natural as possible, 'cause artists don't wanna just be asked a list of questions. You know, it's... I know that, you know, there are popular shows like Hot Ones where that's the format.[rock music] But not for a normal interview.

Yeah. Theirs is a, a formula that they c- came up with and-

Exactly

... i- it's, it's their own thing.

You know, we've got, uh, this hot wing, and we'll ask this question while you eat it. You know? If you're doing a normal interview, you just talk to somebody.

It is also very awkward when you just interview somebody, like, prior to a show and you just kinda be like, "Hey, we're excited for the show tonight."

Yeah.

You, you can't really say much.

No. No, and, uh, there was a situation recently where, but you go ahead 'cause I, I, I lost track of where I was trying to go with it.

I'm not like Rick Beato trying to like, you know, d- dive really deep into the, you know, the course of their career.

Yeah. We usually get like 10 minutes-

Yeah

... which is hard enough to get, uh, you know, some comradery going with them to where they're comfortable to talk to you. Usually 10 minutes is when it starts getting good.

Well, that's the thing is that, so, I, I asked the, I asked the subreddit, "Hey, do you guys have any questions?" They gave me all those. I don't ask a single, any single one of their questions. I instead just do have a conversation with Dale from Seether.

Mm-hmm.

I then put that interview into their subreddit and said, "Here it is, you guys." And everybody, like not everybody, like five loudmouths who are probably heavily active in r/seether to begin with-

Yeah

... were then commenting saying, "You didn't ask a single one of our questions. You're, you're now a lame interviewer. You suck."

[laughs]

Like, this whole thing. So then, yeah, y- you on our YouTube, I, I was not wanting you to do this, but you uploaded every single one of our podcasts to our YouTube.

Mm-hmm.

And so all the episodes that have been missed are, that haven't been on the, on the YouTube channel are now on the YouTube channel.

Yeah, and these guys must get alerts any time the word Seether pops up.

I, I just imagine some 400-pound dude with a neck beard and a fedora just waiting for the word Seether to pop up on his screen.

[laughs]

So that way... Could, could you imagine being a, a proud Seether subreddit mod?

[laughs]

Like, that's what I'm, that's what I was trying to figure out. I'm like, "Dude, you're picking on me and you're a mod of a Seether subreddit."

Exactly.

A band that peaked in the early 2000s. Very similar to probably that guy. But-

[laughs]

... I, I... So then that episode gets uploaded, 'cause I had to search for it. I'm like, "What? Why did I all of a sudden get this message, this very explicit message I can't even repeat on the air, saying that like, I was still talking about it six months later?" I'm like, "Dude, I forgot about you guys." [laughs] Like, yeah.

Exactly.

Like, you guy- [laughs] Like it was just some stupid little thing that we had to go through during the month of May, but that was about it.

Yeah.

Well, I w- I searched the word Seether on our YouTube, my interview pops up, and then my podcast pops up from like a few days later that says, "Seether Fans Need A Hug."

[laughs]

That's the title.

[laughs]

Something like that. And so I go to the comment section and the guy's like, "Well, so moderator of r/Seether here."

[laughs]

And then he goes in this five paragraph thing about how like, "We, we actually ask questions like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." And it's like, "No dude, you just handpicked your best questions." Like, meanwhile, I saw what I saw when I asked like, "Hey, what should I ask for the Seether interview?" And it was all these negative questions.

Yeah. Yeah, I remember those questions and I wouldn't have asked those questions.

But then the guy was all like, "You just asked him about fishing spots. And we saw, we gave you these softball questions."

[laughs]

"You're a garbage interviewer." And my favorite line of the whole comment was, um, "Now I'm gonna go full unleashed on you."

[laughs]

It's just like you're, you're again, you're a Seether mod, r/Seether mod.

Yeah. Like, dude, you, let's see you sit down and do an interview.

He'd probably poop, you know? [laughs]

Yeah. It, it, that would be a horrible interview to just sit there and ask questions. That's-

Can you imagine some subreddit mod interviews Dale from Seether-

Oh

... in case he's too scared to do so. I bet he is never even talked to the band ever in his entire life. He goes up to the band in a meet and greet after paying like $500 and [laughs] just goes, "I, I, I am the mod of your subreddit, you guys."

[laughs]

That's great. Okay, thanks. Next in line.

Yeah, exactly. Go, go, go. All right, buddy, here you go.

[laughs]

Take your photo and leave now.

Right.

[laughs] I know it, it, it blows my mind the lack of knowledge people have sometimes when it comes to interviews, I guess.

Well, the guy even said in his comment, "You just randomly cut it off after 10 minutes." I'm like, "Dude, I have a time limit. You have no idea how radio interviews work-"

Yeah.

"... especially when the band's trying to prepare for a show."

Exactly.

And we were lucky enough to get 10 minutes with Dale just to talk with him-

Yeah

... to, to pump... The overall thing is to pump up the show.

Exactly.

That's the overall theme for radios, we're gonna pump up the show, like, people didn't know that they were gonna be at the Mountain America Center. Y- y- people will then, "Oh, okay. That's awesome. We'll buy tickets and then go."

Well, I, I don't know what's up with Seether fans, man. They're a unique crowd for sure.

Well, the Mudvayne crowd, I gotta give credit to them. They're, they're extremely nice, very easygoing.

Mm-hmm.

Same with Dayseeker. Dayseeker, everyone's supporting Rory in the band, but then you post an r/Seether and it's like you don't expect that band to have the worst fans.

No, I know, I know.

Like they're, they're a band that not really... I'm not gonna say they're not really relevant now, but they haven't really put out anything crazy, crazy. And they were huge back in the early 2000s.

Oh yeah, yeah.

Huge. And all of a sudden you have 5,000 people in a subreddit that are just guarding it with their dear lives.

[laughs] Yeah.

Well, not even just 5,000. I'm sure there's people in there that are like, "Yeah, I like Seether, but-"

The only other fan... I mean, I've put tons of interviews out there or even YouTube reactions and, uh, fan bases are generally nice, like Ghost's fan base was great. Poppy's fan base was great. The only time I could think of recently that I made people mad was that Morgan Wallen reaction video I did where I, you know, was just...[instrumental music plays] ... kind of making fun of the lyrics of the songs. It's not like Morgan Wallen is known for having these poetic, amazing lyrics. Come on, now.

The most poetic thing he's ever done is thrown the chair off the balcony.

[laughs]

Like-

And these people were losing their minds about him. Like, dude this is, uh, we're talking about Morgan Wallen.

Well, it was really funny. I did that reaction to Taylor Swift's Wood on our YouTube channel.

Mm-hmm.

And one lady was so mad at me because I think I s- I made fun of this video where there was these four, like, 35-plus-year-old women just all reacting to Taylor Swift by screaming.

Yeah.

That's what I thought. And I'm like, "You guys are in your 30s." And so this lady, I think, was one of those people-

Ah

... and got very upset with what I said. And she's like, "Why are you judging so harshly? Also, your name is Peaches."

[laughs]

And so I commented back saying, "Your name is Angela Never Met A Good One."

[laughs]

And [laughs] uh, so I was like, I might as well just pickle him back.

[laughs]

But I didn't even respond to the guy from R/Seether 'cause I'm like, "There's no point, really."

No.

Just because I, what was even funnier is that wh- uh, I s- I s- told you his DM that he gave me.

Yeah.

I then copied and pasted it to ChatGPT and said, "Give me, like, a professional response to this." And then I copied and pasted that, and then he says, "God, I hate your smug attitude. Goodbye, man."

[laughs]

And I, I, I was laughing so hard at that 'cause I just imagined again some, like, big fat dude behind the computer getting all mad.

Oh my gosh, dude.

"I showed this guy I just perma-banned from R/Seether."

[laughs] Oh, that's so funny and I, that made me log into our K-BEAR YouTube today, and I checked the notifications 'cause I was like, "Okay, we put up, like, 600, 700 podcasts at the beginning of the week." And I'm like, "Okay, what else did we say that made somebody mad?" Like if, if we immediately got, you know, "You got banned from the Seether subreddit," there'd have to be somebody else mad. A Falling in Reverse fan or something.

The- the- the show is labeled May 23rd.

[laughs]

The show is labeled right there in the title, but I don't think they know how to read besides the word Seether and-

Yeah. And g- we had no other angry responses, just the Seether thing.

Yeah. [laughs]

That, that's it. Out of 700 episodes. [laughs]

Even PETA, who we like made fun of at one point, reached out professionally and were like, "Hey, hey." [laughs]

Yeah. "Let's have a r- let's have a conversation," or whatever.

Yeah.

Like, people take things way too seriously sometimes. Like, this- the- we just do a dumb radio show, you know? It's th- we just do a dumb show.

Well, apparently I'm a-

Don't take it so seriously

... I'm- I'm a garbage interviewer for just asking Dale about, uh, talking to him personally he's a human. I should have, like, said, "Shut up about the fishing spots, Dale."

[laughs]

"Let's talk about unreleased material."

Well, I mean, I could have told you you're a garbage interviewer

Sh- oh sure.

[laughs]

I'm gonna do this new thing where I have a gun out.

[laughs]

And I start, like, uh, inter- like, really interrogating them and be like, "Where's this at?"

[laughs] Where is the unreleased B-sides from 10 years ago? [laughs] [instrumental music plays] Rest in peace and, uh, happy birthday to Ozzy who would have been 77 today. Bummer, but we've got so many albums of great material. You know, you could spend all day celebrating and listening to Ozzy, which ain't a bad idea. All right. What do we got in the news? Not a whole lot. It's very quiet today. Very quiet. Social media, in general, pretty quiet today. Guess that's what happens when the election is finally over. Oh, just waiting to see what Life In Idaho Falls will fight about next. Maybe I could go post this story and see if people start yelling,

"Six nuts to stop eating and eight to choose instead." Aah, we're gonna ruin nuts for people. "You need to stop eating cashews." That's what this article says. Yeah, might be delicious, but particularly high in saturated fat compared to other nuts. Stop eating them. Don't eat roasted nuts. Don't eat salted or flavored nuts. You know all the nuts that are good? Don't eat too many nuts. Don't eat pistachios. Don't eat almonds. Geez, what nuts are left?

Pecans. Apparently, that's what you need to be eating. And those are good, those are good. Oh, hazelnuts. Pretty good as well. Brazil nuts. I'm not a huge fan. Peanuts, huh? But, d- you know, just plain old... You, you can't have the ones with any salt or anything on them. Just a plain old fresh-out-of-the-shell boring peanut. Or chestnuts which you can roast on an open fire. Uh, uh, walnuts they're good. Mm-hmm. Can you tell I'm having trouble finding, a little bit of trouble finding content today? Mm-hmm. Talking about nuts you should and should not eat. Hmm.

Well, I've got a full hour of show left. I should be able to dig up something. [laughs] I'm trying but it, i- it's rough. It's rough out there today. After getting through, you know, Peaches getting banned from R/Seether, maybe I need to go stir up some trouble online. Ah. We'll see what I can do before the next time I yap. [instrumental music plays] Well, hello Peaches.

Hello.

Let's just, uh, keep that on the DL.

Yeah.

Nothing happened.

No.

Nothing to see here. Nah. [laughs] See? [laughs] At least I don't think so. Okay.

Oh.

Whoo. Light news day today, Peaches. Uh-

I know.

Good luck on your program, The Pit Party, this afternoon.

Sometimes I ramble and I go, "Who's entertained by this?"

I've done a lot of rambling this morning [laughs] so my apologies to our audience. Um, like I said, I've been, uh, looking through the news. You know, we don't need to delve into the politics of the world. The mayoral race is over so people are done fighting on, uh, Life In Idaho Falls. Now they're just talking about the road conditions which, by the way, it is slick in some areas. Uh, saw some reports about black ice on, um, I-15 in areas.

Oh. Yikes.

So, you know, just be cautious. Give yourself extra time getting to where you need to be.[rock music plays] Yeah, I don't know, the only story that's popping up everywhere is the drunk raccoon. Did you see that story?

Yes. Yeah, I did see that one.

Yeah. I'm sure that every radio show in the country's talking about it.

That's my spirit animal.

[laughs] Yeah, I know, Peaches.

When was the last time you were wasted? Let us know.

[laughs] When's the last time you passed out on a bathroom floor? Uh, when I talked about the story earlier, 'cause it was the first thing I saw when I got here, I- I talked about being jealous that the raccoon was sleeping, [laughs] you know?

Oh.

And that I would be willing, at this point, to sleep on a bathroom floor if I could get a nap in.

Well then, the bathroom is wide open-

Ah

... for you, right here in the office.

Mm-hmm. See, maybe if it was the ladies' room. Guys-

What? [laughs]

W- now- n- n- now, uh, keep the door locked, all right?

[laughs]

And it would be just me, but guys, you know, they- they just don't have good aim all the time. So, I wouldn't wanna lay on the guys' bathroom floor. It's guaranteed to be dirtier, all right? [laughs]

[laughs] Just like walking in there, "Yes."

All right.

Long range.

[laughs]

[Laughs] [laughs]

[laughs] Oh.

It was so funny, you know, at the East Idaho News side of the- the building, sometimes they'll have signs up that says, "Hey, live recording in progress. Be careful of the door." And I'm just thinking, like, "What if I went into that restroom and just started screaming my head off. Like, w- what would they do?"

And then just be like, "I have stomach problems." [laughs]

Yeah. "Aah!"

Aah! [laughs]

[laughs]

Oh. See? See? That's how light we are on content. We're talking about, uh, literally just the bathroom. Not even anything important about it. But, yeah that raccoon, it looked very, uh, very comfortable. He was all splayed out, you know? I mean, how much booze do you think a raccoon could drink before it passes out, Peaches?

I don't know.

I don't know either. They're small.

I don't care.

Did you see the other story about raccoon, who uh, this guy picked up? And, uh, he was trying to take it to, uh, an emergency vet, so he held it in his lap for about an hour, and it clawed the crap out of him and was biting him and stuff?

I bet it did.

And it had rabies.

Ooh.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So, even if you see a passed out raccoon, just l- leave him be.

Which animal could hold the most alcohol? I'm gonna go with the camel, 'cause it stores it in the humps.

Yeah, I th- it's gotta be a large animal, right? Do all animals get intoxicated by alcohol? Or are some immune?

That's... I'm not Google.

All right. L- let's find out.

Does alcohol-

Affect some animals

... intoxicate all animals?

[laughs]

We're gonna learn something new. I mean, here's an article, "Do Animals Get Drunk?" Which w- we know. I mean, we saw the raccoon, so obviously. Oh, there's a Wikipedia page about recreational drug use in animals.

Fantastic.

All right, so let's see. Birds: looks like cedar waxwings have been observed flying while intoxicated by alcohol, um, [laughs] resulting in crashes that lead to their deaths.

No kidding.

Don't fly drunk, birds. Don't do it.

Oh yeah, the birds are tuned in right now, listening to you.

Uh, hey. Birds love me dude, just like all animals. Mm-hmm. Call me-

Cue the video of you with the snake

... Dr. Victor Wilt Little.

Dr. Dolittle.

[laughs] Um-

Dr. Dolittle.

Looks like, um-

Dumb Little.

You know, uh, chimpanzees, the- they'll get hammered eating overripe f- overripe fruit. Um-

Imagine that, you just get wasted off an orange.

Elephants will seek out the fermented fruit of the marula tree, and, uh-

That'd be terrifying, a drunk elephant stumbling.

Yeah. And it says they, uh, you know, they get all hammered, and then they experience increased aggression [laughs], so they're- they're like the one guy at the bar that you're like, "Ugh. Can you kick him out already?" You know? They're a mean drunk. Bees: yeah, bees prefer nectar containing caffeine and nicotine. Just [laughs] addicted to those tobacco plants. Now, cats. Cats have their own drug, catnip. It's hilarious. Uh, it's so weird. It gets 'em completely hammered

and depending on the cat, you could see aggressive behavior. Uh, Jess, one of the two, uh, additions to the Victor Wilt family zoo, you know, Jess is, uh, Becca's cat. 15 years old, tiny, like, she will get all loaded up on catnip and then just start messing with Cooper, who's like three times her size. And for whatever reason, he's scared of her.

Probably 'cause she's all loaded on catnip, got those crazy eyes. Have you... did you see Jess when you were at my house the other day-

Yeah, yeah, y- you lifted her up to my face and said, "This is our crazy cat."

Oh, okay. [laughs] She is. And she even has the crazy eyes. She looks like a gremlin.

What you gotta do is, you gotta get one of those, like, 20-pound cats that's just mean to everybody. You know, bring in a bully.

[laughs] Just bring in a bully cat.

Yeah. Bring in a bully cat, it's gonna take care of Jess.

Hit up the Snake River Animal Shelter, "Where's your meanest cat?"

We had to keep Sam separated. He was a 20-pound fatso and he hated other cats but loved people.

See, my mom had a cat, or we had one growing up named Marty, and he was about 20 pounds. He was fat.

Yeah.

And, I mean, he didn't like anyone. People or animals.

We kept, uh, we kept, uh, Sam at my parent's business, just because-

[laughs]

... he- he- he could not b- do- do well around Toby and Bandit.

[laughs]

And Bandit would ride the comforter down the stairs and steal money. That's why he got named Bandit.

He'd steal money?

My- b- yeah, my dad thought it was, uh, my grandpa, my mom's d- dad, um, stealing money out of the jars. [laughs] My dad's blaming my grandpa who lived with them at the time, and sure enough, he finds the cat burying $100 bills, like, within the couch.

[laughs] That's pretty funny. Cats are weird, man. All animals are weird.

My favorite is o- my favorite story is when my mom's cat got really mad the whole family went on vacation, so he pooped right in the middle, the exact middle of the bed.

Right in the middle.

Right in the exact middle. It couldn't have been more middle than what he chose.

[laughs]

He like calculated it with his paws and everything, just right there, right in the middle.

Dude, they can be vindictive. You know, and yeah, I've been dealing with, uh, four cats trying to acclimate to each other, so that's why I was, you know, shampooing carpets for hours last night, 'cause th- th- they like to mark their territory. So just pee everywhere, like, ugh!

What, you don't?

Only in the cat box.

Oh.

I'm a good boy. [laughs] Peach is bringing the content. What you got?

I, I went onto Facebook, and you know it's so full of fake news. Um, some article was posted. Not even an article, just like a little blip on your newsfeed.

Mm-hmm.

It said, like, "Variety has said, or has awarded Whoopi Goldberg the most hated celebrity, voted by all the other celebrities in a secret vote."

[laughs]

And so I, I'm like, "That can't be real."

No.

And so I went onto Google and, of course, yeah, it's n- it's v- variety did a fictitious article about Whoopi Goldberg in the past saying she's won the award, most hated celebrity for multiple years. But someone just regurgitated-

So it's just like an ongoing gag?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Someone just pretended that was real because, you know, she's a hardcore leftist, and you know that would drive some people to comments-

Oh, my God.

"They should get her off television."

[laughs] Need to cancel that show, The View.

Well, they should, because it's awf-

Bunch of crap.

But, anyway.

I haven't really watched it. But yeah, it's, it's a bad news day. Even East Idaho News, like I told you a few minutes ago, posted about the drunk raccoon. There is nothing going on [laughs]. Just drunk raccoon day, everybody. It's a new holiday. Uh, December 3rd, Drunk Raccoon Day. Uh, yeah, I mean, scrolling my feed, even, you know, Facebook, there's, there's just nothing. You know, all the news organizations reposting stuff about the election. Um, other than that, you know, fake movie posters popping up. There's always tons of those nowadays, like movies that are not really being made. Social media really sucks, dude.

Yeah. No, AI has made it a whole lot worse.

Oh, man.

I think, I think people's, um,

the, what's it called? Like their rage has increased big time since COVID, and now with AI in the mix, you just have a, a mixture of everything that's awful.

Well, and I talked about AI yesterday, because people will, you know, post information they find on like Google AI or Grok, and they're like, "Here's the facts." And AI just scrapes the entire internet for everything, so you're getting a lot of different people's opinions, and you know, it'll just pull information from like, uh, Facebook groups and things like that. And, but it, it doesn't mean that's reality. That's just the information it can find. You know, AI is not at the point yet where on a lot of subjects it can just break it down. And people don't believe anything anyway. There's people who believe the earth is flat. Like they really do. Even though we- we've been to space. [laughs]

Th- there's people that believe Seether's a fantastic band and they're moderating the subreddit.

[laughs] And the, you know, you should just ask, you know, one question after another in an interview rather than having to chat with somebody.

I still can't believe that. That there's people out there that l- legit take that band seriously like that and

will watch everything and anything that band's involved with.

That, I, I remembered now what, uh, came to mind when you were talking about interviews earlier. 'Cause I got in a little bit of a Facebook argument with somebody, 'cause they posted a clip, a gotcha style clip during the, uh, mayoral election of Neal Larsen talking to, uh, Lisa Burtenshaw. And, you know, so it's like a two-minute clip from who knows how long of an interview, and, you know, it looked, "Got her! Got her with this little thing." And, uh-

Shut her down with facts and logic, am I right?

Yeah, and she's like, you know, whoever made the post was like, "Yeah, Neal's such a good interviewer." And I'm like, "It's not hard to interview people." And she's like-

Apparently it is for me.

[laughs] Unless you're Peaches interviewing Seether.

I'm gonna start doing Eric Andre style interviews.

Now that would be a hard way to interview.

Just full on-

Keeping a straight face?

Yeah. [laughs]

You know?

Pull on, pull my pants down and fart or something. Just 'cause-

Yeah, I recently re-watched the Borat movies.

Yeah.

Now that would be a hard way to interview. But it's not hard to interview people. It's, it's really easy. You just talk to them. The, the end. If you can-

That's all that it was. Dale brought up the fact that he was fishing in East Idaho. I'm like, "That's cool. Let's talk some more about that."

Exactly. That's something that can connect with our audience. We have a lot of people around here who fish.

Not like, "Dale, I'm gonna slap you with the fish if you don't tell me when that deluxe edition's not coming out."

[laughs] Diamond from Tetrarch. You wouldn't think so, but she's huge into fishing, so that made for really interesting conversation, talking with her about fishing spots. And I don't fish, so, you know, it was, uh, a weird conversation, 'cause I'm like, "I don't know where to go."

Man, Diamond's cool.

Diamond is pretty cool. It was, uh, nice to see that Tetrarch, uh, popped up on Consequence's list of the, uh, best metal albums of the year. Man, what a hipster list that was. Um, you know, Deafheaven at number one. M- maybe I need to listen to it. Maybe I need to listen to the full Deafheaven album.

I, I tried listening to Deafheaven, and I gotta tell you, it's just, it's not my thing.

Yeah, it's not for everyone.

That, that Black metal style vocals with the modern overproduced sound. I don't know, it's-

Yeah. Um, you know, their top album's, uh, Turnstile's Never Enough.

Was Turnstile is now getting hated big time by their-

[heavy metal instrumental]

... like, longtime fans because-

'Cause they changed, they changed their sound

... they, they changed their sound completely from hardcore to this-

Right

... indie pop.

Yeah. Which, dude, okay, as someone who writes music,

it, I, I don't know how bands like AC/DC do it. I would be so bored. You know? I, you, you gotta mix it up. I get why Turnstile changed their sound.

Well, I know Angus has fun 'cause he has b- a bunch of different riffs, but p- poor Phil Rudd in the back.

Oh, yeah, the [imitates drum sounds]. Gotta be the most boring band in, of all time to be the drummer in. No offense, JD. Come on, you play the guitar parts [laughs].

Well, speaking of that, uh, I was laughing as I saw this article get, um, I, I was looking up the most annoying video game characters.

Okay.

And Lars Ulrich from Guitar Hero Metallica was on there [laughs].

[laughs]

And I could tell it was a whole parody article-

[laughs]

... but it just made me laugh. It just popped up. His f- his fills were nonexistent and, you know, all this stuff.

Yeah, they got, uh, Deftones' new album at number three, and I, I... The new Deftone songs did grow on me a lot, but I haven't listened to the whole album, so I don't know. Spiritbox at number four, which, it, it had some good songs that's-

I thought their album was underappreciated.

Yeah, and then there's stuff that I've just never heard of, and it makes me feel like I don't really know metal very well. Like here's La Dispute, No One Was Driving the Car. That is, uh, number five on their list. You've got, uh, Horror, uh, at number six with Tomorrow We Escape. Ghost at number seven, and then Halestorm at number eight, which I found to be surprising that they would put that, that high on this history list.

They kinda have the, the Shinedown effect on their latest album with like these empowering songs that-

Yeah

... no one really wants.

Yeah. I've, I, I wasn't really blown away by the newer Halestorm. Here's a band I haven't heard of, The Armed. Have you heard of them?

Yeah.

Okay.

And you know that Spotify Wrapped that just came out today?

Yeah.

Gives you a listening age?

Mm-hmm.

I got 19 because I'm always trying to find new metal, is what it said.

Mine was, uh, 25.

Oh.

But you saw mine. It, I, I never post mine 'cause it's all outta whack 'cause I don't really use it to listen to music, or I'm using it to, like, code music. So it was like, "Your number one genre, red dirt." [laughs]

[laughs]

'Cause I've been working on the outlaw station for months. The top artists, they're all outlaw country [laughs].

Oh, Maddie got freak indie.

Freak indie? She seems like she'd get-

We-

... freak indie.

We had to look up what that means 'cause freak indie-

What's that, like Joji?

I- yeah.

Okay.

Starbucks pop or Starbucks tracks.

Okay.

That's what I call it.

Okay. Gotcha.

The, the Birkenstock wearers.

Yeah, the only thing accurate on it was podcast. Uh, you know, it said last podcast was my number one, which I, I think it's gotta be, you know? That's what I was listening to last night while I'm shampooing floors, so. Dream Theater at number 10. You know, Dream Theater, I'm, I'm a prog guy, but I cannot get into Dream Theater. It's the vocals, man. Just i- it ruins it for me. I like the musicianship, but the vocals in Dream Theater, I just can't get it.

Well, James was my first ever horrible interview, James LaBrie of Dream Theater.

[laughs]

And, uh, uh, you should have, I should have recorded the whole thing of him trying to say, "Idaho's only rock station." 'Cause he was like the old man with the buttery, flaky crust.

Oh, yeah?

He couldn't, he couldn't do it.

Just couldn't do it? [laughs]

So I'm sitting there, "Idaho's o- o- only station." Wait, no. "KBAR Idaho's..." What? He- he-

Well, I wanted to call us Idaho's only radio station, but the, you know, bosses don't get the joke.

Well-

You know?

I, uh, may or may not have, uh, put in the VO sheets for last month, "The one, the only KBAR 101." [laughs]

I like that. I- you need to get the line, "Idaho's only radio station."

I can sneak it in there.

Yeah, 'cause-

I just don't g- I just don't give the pages to Jade to proofread, I just send it right to Brian. [laughs]

And Jade would approve it 'cause, you know, it's funny. 'Cause wh- when we call ourselves Idaho's only rock station, sometimes people go, "Hey, but I've heard other rock stations." [laughs] Like, what did you-

Well, there was the, the one lady-

Guys, it's supposed to be funny.

Like, I thought there was legitimately not that many stupid people out there, but then this one lady messaged us a little few years back.

[laughs]

And we're like, it was like, "I, I don't get it. You guys say you're Idaho's only rock station. The, the, the Edge in Twin exists."

[laughs] I know. There's the, the, The X in Boise. And it's like, guys, it's, it's a goof. Radio doesn't have to be ser- it's a positioning statement.

Yeah.

It doesn't have to be serious.

No. Big J and Nick know exactly what we're doing, and they're laughing too.

Oh, yeah, yeah. They're probably jealous they didn't come up with it first.

I'm sure Brock has a sense of humor too, and

Brock does have a sense of humor. I've never had any radio guy get mad at me for that. Just e- every once in a while, a listener will be like, "Haven't you heard Shaggy before?" I'm like...

Unfortunately.

[laughs] We have.

Yeah.

[laughs]

Wanna talk about like the human version of the-

[laughs]

... annoyance of the, uh,

[laughs]

... see their subreddit?

[laughs] Just playing, Shaggy.

[laughs]

You know we love you, Shaggy.

No, Shaggy's one of the nicest people ever.

He's super nice. That's why it's hard to pick on him, you know, even though it's fun. Hey, hey.

[laughs]

All right, all right, all right, all right. [heavy metal instrumental] Jade Davis really wanted to hear that Three Days Grace. You're welcome, dude.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah, I knew, I knew you w- I knew you wanted to party, so.

Mm-hmm.

Three Days Grace it is, and now we're gonna go country.

Okay.

Thanks to a song recommendation from the GM. [laughs]

[laughs]

Well, I, I showed you that one song yesterday-

Yeah

... when I finally had an upbeat and fun outlaw song.

That one was entertaining.

Yeah.

[clears throat]

It, if, if you got a guy getting his arm ripped off-

[clears throat]

... by an alligator [laughs]-

What was the a- Amos or something?

Amos Andy or something like that?

Yeah, po- poor Amos.

Or Mo- Amos Moses?

Or something like that, yeah.

Yeah. The only-

He had a hard life.

He, he, he did have a rough life. He was a big dude and he'd fight gators, got his arm ripped off.

And the guy talking about him is just giggling.

Oh, yeah.

[laughs]

He did that, that was a fun song. So there's apparently one about a guy who I guess is going through a rough divorce, and it's called Going Through The Big D by Mark Chestnut. [laughs]

And he doesn't mean Dallas.

And he doesn't mean Dallas.[laughs] All right, Mark Chesnutt. Here we go. I gotta check this out. I've, I've heard too many of these songs over the years.

[laughs] [upbeat country music]

Oh, yeah. Beep, beep, beep.

For six short months, we went together. Decided it should be forever.

That was a bad idea right off the start.

Compared to two, it's better than one.

[laughs]

Diamond ring and it was done.

Bought a house like I said I would. In a subdivided neighborhood. The fuse got short and the nights got long. It was over, long gone. Before I knew

where I was headed to.

Here we go. Oh.

I'm going through the Big D and I don't mean Dallas. I can't believe what the judge had to tell us. I got the Jeep and she got the palace. I'm going through the Big D and I don't mean Dallas.

[laughs]

[laughs]

Ah, see? If only all the songs I had to listen to were upbeat like that. [laughs]

[laughs]

There's some sad cowboys out there, man. I'll tell you what.

Yes, there is.

Rough, rough life. I'm on the road. I'm a sinner.

[laughs]

[laughs] Ooh, hey.

Well, don't come in here yawning, dude.

Hey.

I already talked to you about the fact that I'm tired.

[yawns]

Don't wanna hear this crap, all right?

[laughs] I've watched network training videos.

Ooh, ugh.

That's tough.

Is it as tough as listening to hours and hours of rough living? [laughs]

[laughs] This is rough living.

[laughs]

I don't know. What's worse, sad cowboy talk or network nerd talk?

Ooh. I think I, I'm gonna go with n- the network talk 'cause at least, you know, if they're a real sad cowboy, they got some good stories sometimes like you know-

Well, they've got good stories too about protocols-

Oh

... [laughs]

Oh

... and other things. [laughs]

Okay, I'll stick with the sad cowboys. And every once in a while, you get, you know, a fun one. Guy gets his arm ripped off by a gator.

Or going through the Big D.

<< Going through the Big D and I don't mean Dallas

>>

[sings]

[laughs] Country music's so weird. Like, I wonder who, the, the original guy was like, "Well, I talk like this. I wonder what it would be like if I just sing like this?"

"If I sing like this all through the nose and stuff."

[laughs] Well, then you got the guys that talk normal now, but then they sing that way. [laughs] You know? And it's just a, a style.

Then they do the low one through the face. "Oh, listen to this one up in here."

Yeah, some are, some of them are pretty high up here and- [laughs]

That's right. Yeehaw. [claps] Oh, yeah.

Give themselves a fake-sounding cowboy name. Like- [laughs]

Do the weather. [laughs]

[laughs] Do the weather.

I think we got some snow outside. It's those slick conditions out there, so you know. Good thing I'm a parka. 'Cause you wear a parka when it's cold. Never need a parka down in the Big D. [laughs]

Not down in the Big D.

[laughs]

And I'm talking Dallas. [laughs] Ugh. Well, Jade, it's time for me to put an end to this show. [laughs]

Good. [laughs]

All right? We've had it. It's over.

Take it out to pasture. [laughs]

That's right. We'll take it out like Old Yeller. [laughs] That's what we're gonna do with this program right here.

[laughs]

Okay, well, Peaches and I will be back at noon people. I hope you have a good morning. Drive safe. Don't be a moron. There's, there's idiots out there. Wonder how many slide-offs we had today? I look forward to ta- talking with Crane on Friday. First snowfall of the year, even if it's an inch.

There's always a bunch.

It's, it's, it's just chaos and it was all foggy this morning. Probably a disaster out there. So, be careful, people. All right? And put on a parka to stay warm.

Stay warm.

We had cold.

Getting cold out there.

Freezing. [upbeat music] Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show. This program's a production of Riverbend Media Group. To contact the show or for more information, hit us up at riverbendmediagroup.com.
