The Viktor Wilt Show daily recap! If you miss the show weekdays from 6A-10A MST, you've come to the right place.
What's up? It's Viktor Wilt and, feels like it should be Friday, but it's Thursday. At least it's not Monday or Tuesday, I guess. So as I began to peruse the internet today, so I'll post about, all right, what would you do if someone gave you $1,000 a week to stop playing games? First thing that came to mind was the first thing that somebody asked in the comments.
What kind of games? We talking video games, all games, you know, any kind of game whatsoever. No tag. I mean, I'm not gonna get out and chase people in the snow and go tag your it. Not the Victor Wilt style game.
Well, let's see. What would I do if someone offered me $1,000 a week to stop playing, you know, video games alone? I don't know if I'd take the money. I don't know if it's worth $1,000 a week to not play video game. Okay.
What if you could do it 1 week on, 1 week off? So, you know, half of the month, you don't play video games and you get 2 g's. I can probably do that, but never play video games again. $1,000 a week. I don't think it would be worth it.
Video games bring too much joy to my life. I was kicking back playing, of course, GTA San Andreas, my latest go to last night. And I'm at a point in the game. I mean, this, this is an old game. I can spoil things, right?
For a game that's at least 15 years old. I don't even know when it came out. It's old, but I'm at a point in the game where you head back into the LA portion of the map, Los Santos and, riots have broke out. And so there's just mayhem everywhere that you go. You're trying to accomplish some of the things you've done throughout the game with a normal, you know, type of city, you know, going on.
But now you got people, you know, stealing TVs, just shooting each other in the streets. There's explosions happening. I really think San Andreas, even though GTA 5 has better graphics and definitely plays better, I think as an overall game, San Andreas really might be better than GTA 5. I don't know. Maybe it's because I don't think I've ever made it all the way through San Andreas.
I don't remember any of this stuff, but I don't know. Just there's a lot of unique things that happen in that game. And if somebody paid me $1,000 a week right now to stop where I'm at, I need an extra $1,000 a week. Trust me. Holy cow.
If I had an extra grand a week, man, talk about relief. Could I just do it for a while? Catch up on debt. You know? That'd be nice.
Should quit talking about what I'd rather be doing than being awake right now playing video games. Okay. Wait. That didn't make any sense. I'm trying to wake up.
Alright? Cut me slack. It's the first break of the day. Feel bad for those who are on their way home from work every day, and they get this break. You know?
The just after 6 o'clock break. When I'm warming up, I I swear the show's better than this at times. Hopefully it'll improve today. I thought yesterday's show was pretty decent. Anyway, I'll be back in just a minute with a song that to me has always sounded like a Christmas song.
And then, yeah, I'm, I'm gonna figure out what we're gonna do on this program. It so I've talked a bit on air about collecting things over the years. You know, I'm into collecting books. Don't ever sign up for any kind of mailing list that might get you deals on things that you're obsessed with collecting. You know, I'm going through my email when I should be trying to find content for the radio show.
Hey, do I have any emails? That'll be exciting. Well, sure. Let's talk about the cemetery dance mailing list, cemetery dance, a publisher of horror novels, namely limited edition versions of horror novels. And I've managed to get my hands on a few over the years when there's some real screaming deals.
And at some point, I saw them post on Facebook. I think it was about a year ago, maybe, maybe a little longer, you know, Hey, if you're interested in a signed limited edition for an extreme discount, blah, blah, blah. You know, shoot us an email. So I was like, wow, that's a really good deal. You know, I don't remember what price they had going on, but it, you know, for these particular books, you know, in, in this, range of collectibles, I was like, that that's a great price.
So I shot him an email and they're like, yeah, you order 1 up. It's a mystery box. I'm like, Oh, this is fun. At the time, I was like, I I could afford to drop whatever it was. You know, it's $75, $100.
I I don't remember. So book shows up. It's a I think it was a lettered edition of, world war z. Very, very nice copy. And, that was a book that prior to that, my, you know, girlfriend had told me you should read this book.
She had actually, purchased me a copy. I need to get around to reading that for sure. Sorry. I've been slacking on reading, in general, in general, hoping I can get myself back into the the swing of things. But anyway, so I gave her the, you know, limited edition copy I got because I I thought she might really like it, but that put me on their mailing list.
So this morning, you know, I'm really glad it's Christmas time, and I've been purchasing gifts for people. You know, I'm at the point where I'm like, oh, jeez. Oh, jeez. I've spent a bunch of money. I get this email and they're like, today, we're offering the jumbo mystery grab bag for collectors.
Only 15 of these grab bags will be sold. So act quickly if interested. This email arrived about an hour ago. All right. At least $1,000 worth of hardcover trade limited and lettered editions, paperbacks, magazines, and chat books.
Yeah. I mean, cemetery dance, even their magazines and such are collectible chat books in case you're wondering what that is. They're almost almost like little pamphlet books. I don't I don't know how to describe them, but they're about that size, the size of a pamphlet and, generally, you know, very limited edition signed blah blah blah. Anyway, over $1,000 worth of stuff, $350.
I'm so glad that it's Christmas, and I just spent a bunch of money because, I mean, it's pretty hard to justify dropping $350 on collectibles. You know? But if it was midyear, like, close to my birthday, I'd be like, well, it's my birthday. And, yeah, I just splurge out of control. So I didn't need to see that email this morning, but it did make me feel good that I've got the restraint even knowing that's one of the best deals I've seen that I just, I cannot do it.
Don't do it. But, yeah, that's my advice today. If you're into collecting something, don't get on mailing lists. All right. Might as well not join any Facebook groups either.
Don't look at Facebook marketplace or at least wait till you're, yeah, away from the time of year where you've dumped a bunch of dough on getting gifts for the, families, friends, significant others, and such. Alright. I should delete that email before I look at it again. A surefire way to guarantee that you make it into the national news is if you're plotting any kind of crimes, throw on a stupid t shirt while you're at it. It's It's not the first time we've seen a story like this coming out of Miami.
Got a man who is wearing a T shirt that says good vibes only in broad daylight, stealing an Amazon truck. And, alright, I hate to break it to people, but it's 2024. There are tracking devices in a lot of different vehicles because they're carrying valuable merchandise. There's also cameras everywhere. So, they very easily track this guy down and, you know, arrested him.
And thanks to the fact, this would have been just a regular old carjacking, but because Hassan Kane was wearing a shirt that said good vibes only. He's all over the news. Yeah. We're talking about him in Idaho. So I think you're better off trying to make viral videos on YouTube.
Alright? If you want a little bit of national fame, you might as well try to do something that could make you money rather than cost you lots of money as well as freedom. So, I mean, this is Miami. Shouldn't be surprised, but you might not wanna wear a wacky t shirt ever because if something weird happens, you're gonna end up in the news. You might not even be the one, you know, committing crimes.
Even as a victim, you might make international news because of your dumb shirt though. If you haven't I'm with stupid and, the guy's getting dragged off by the cops in the background, that'd be a somewhat positive way to make yourself into the news. Is there any item that is both so amazing and great and so terrible as the cell phone? Yeah. Some of you kids might not remember the days before everyone having a cell phone old man.
Victor does think I got my first cell phone when I was about, oh, I don't know. Maybe maybe 18 or 20, somewhere in there. You know? I I was out on my own at that point, so you kinda needed a phone. And, prior to the world of cell phones, there were certainly many benefits.
Not being able to be found every second of every day. Yeah. You could actually leave your house and you were off the grid. You were off the grid. It was great.
It was great. Sometimes, you know, you just want a little bit of peace and quiet and you don't wanna be bothered. Well, now, you know, if you you don't pick up your phone for a few hours, people start panicking. And I do the same. I do the same.
Yeah. It's just part of the world we're in. Somebody posted this question online. What was like life or what was life like? Jeez.
Before smartphones. Now you did have to memorize people's phone numbers, things like that. I guess they did specifically say smartphones, not cell phones. I'm trying to think back before there were even cell phones. I can tell you the internet.
Oh, it was so much more peaceful before cell phones, when you had to have computer knowledge to use the internet. It was great. I mean, there are definitely things that are much better about the Internet now. It's the everyone being able to post their thoughts at every second of the day that I think is a problem. Also the addictive nature of the smartphone.
I mean, I will admit to being hooked on scrolling. I can't help it. Even though I know it's dumb. And I'm I could be sitting in front of my TV with some great entertainment to watch and I'm paused on whatever I'm watching so I can scroll Facebook or Reddit. Like why you're not gonna find anything that blows your mind.
Maybe occasionally, but yeah, honestly, I don't know which I'd prefer the convenience of the cell phone. And as a nerd, having a computer in my pocket at all times, being able to access whatever kinds of information, order stuff. I mean, I think, is it worth the trade off for the stupidity of humanity? I don't know. Well, again, one of the greatest inventions of all time, the smartphone, but also one of the worst.
I mean, you can't blame the device because it's just attached to the Internet where the stupidity runs rampant. But there are times I miss the days prior to cell phones. Yeah. But I think ultimately, I'm I'm gonna have to go with the, convenience. There's there's too many things I use it for, and I'd much prefer being able to be in touch with people than than not.
Well, Christmas time is here again. We're less than a week from the holiday, and maybe you're looking for a good soundtrack for your Christmas holiday. We, of course, have the best traditional Christmas playlist available anywhere on classy 97, the Christmas music channel. Get the classy 97 app if you wanna screen stream, Christmas music from anywhere worldwide. Now trust me, best Christmas playlist you're going to get anywhere.
I've been working on honing this for years, and, it gets better every year. This year, the best one yet. But maybe traditional Christmas music isn't what you're looking for. Now I haven't listened to any of this. But as I was looking for content, I saw somebody ask online, hey.
Are there any psychedelic Christmas rock albums? Something that never occurred to me that might exist. Psychedelic Christmas rock, man. And I haven't listened to any of this, so this might not be any good at all. But, a lot of people were recommending psych out Christmas.
So I pulled it up on Bandcamp. You know, you got the cover art here with, like, you know, trippy spiral. You got Santa in the middle and then the, Grateful Dead esque logo, psych out Christmas. I don't know what psychedelic Christmas music sounds like, but I figured we need to find out together. So let's see.
Some of these might be original tunes, so I wanna go with a Christmas song that we'd all be familiar with. Let's see here. Jingle Bell Rock from Quentin and miss pussycat. Okay. Let let's try this.
Oh, boy. I guess I found my Kay Bear Christmas music beds here. Doesn't sound like we're gonna get any vocals out of this one. Quintron. Okay.
Not too impressed with that. How about the candy store with frosty the snowman? See, to me, that just sounds like the Ronettes. It doesn't doesn't reek of, psychedelic. The first one was more weird for sure.
I think they advertise as trippy Christmas tunes. Alright. Dead metal, Melli Kalikimaka. Alright. Let's see if this one's weird.
Put reverb on everything. There we go. This is sounding this is sounding more like psychedelic rock with Christmas, I guess. Okay. Alright.
Gonna send this list over to Josh from classy 90 7. Maybe they're looking for some, weird stuff to play on their morning show. Sons of hippies, time of the season. Let's scope this. Alright.
When my daughter gets in town, you wanna hear some Christmas music? You know, getting ready for the holiday? I know I generally make you sit there and listen to metal, but how about we listen to some Christmas jams? Now this isn't a Christmas song. It's a time.
It's a time. It's a great song. I really enjoy this track, but I would've never thought about it as a Christmas song just because it has the word season in it. What a what a box. You gotta change it to it's the time of the season for Santa or something like that.
Alright. Anyway, if you need more of that psych out Christmas, it's, online. It it was fun. It was fun. But, again, I I don't know.
Not not quite what I was hoping for. Oh, well. Could y'all do me a favor? I don't think it's y'all, but could the world do me a favor and stop spoiling everything? Come on.
I'm cruising through the Internet here, and the season finale of Yellowstone just aired. I have not watched any of the new season. I've watched everything up to this point. And, you know, I just kinda wanted to binge it out. So I was waiting for everything to get done.
Show is done. They've wrapped it up. Yellowstone. And as I'm scrolling the internet, bam spoilers. If you're gonna make a post online, you have to put a spoiler warning.
Okay. Don't put it in the title of your post. There are people who haven't seen this yet. The episode's been out less than a week. Okay.
I wouldn't even spoil something like red dead online. I mean, I gave out a spoiler for a video game that came out like 20 years ago earlier on the show and still was like, Ugh, cause you just never know who has and who hasn't been able to experience these various pieces of entertainment. So don't do that. And then the spoiler post was also extra annoying because it was somebody critiquing the final episode of Yellowstone by calling it out as a leftist propaganda. Now having watched the entire series Yellowstone, aside from the, you know, final episodes that aired in the last few weeks.
The spoiled ending that I read about in a title of a post today was hinted at the entire series. Are people just not paying attention to the show? Like they basically said the entire show, what was going to happen? I mean, I've, I've still got to dive in, check out the entire episode for myself, but, oh, it's getting so exhausting. Anything that people don't like, you know, they toss one of a few terms at it.
Propaganda or that's woke or that's fascist. Can we settle down everybody, please? With these terms, I don't think a lot of people even have any meaning for these terms anymore. Just anything they don't like, they throw these terms at it. And I mean, it really dilutes the the power of any kind of word makes it pretty meaningless when you just throw it at everything.
So, don't be a spoiler. K. I mean, being a spoiler is more annoying than throwing around the same old terms for everything. But again, jeez, do people just not pay attention to the content of certain series? It's like people being worried about grand theft auto 6 being some kind of, you know, leftist propaganda.
Have you played any grand theft auto game? They, they attack everybody. They're like south park, south park. Yeah. Poking fun at everybody.
K. That's that's how those games have always been. I don't know. People just kinda turn a blind eye to things at times, I think. And just create their own little tunnel vision when it comes to entertainment to end the world.
So, anyway, thanks for ruining Yellowstone for me, Internet. Spoiler warnings. It's not that hard. Alright. We got a holiday coming up, which gets stressful.
People are traveling. Traveling at any time when you're dealing with airlines and stuff can be a bit of an aggravation. Yeah. Try to exercise a little bit of patience if you're traveling at at any time of the year, but especially during the holidays. I just watched a video of a WWE style brawl at the Chicago airport.
They got people picking up the wet floor signs, giving them the old chair treatment. I mean, at least they're not using folding chairs, but, yeah, just cracked right over the head as you're trying to get ready for a flight with a wet floor sign. Be no good. And also, I I don't know if people understand this, but, there is security at the airport. Like you monkey around at the airport.
You're going to jail. Alright. They don't mess around. So I'm wishing you all luck. I don't know why people were fighting in the airport.
There was, like, 5 people. It was a straight on brawl. Yeah. You know, that that's not gonna help anything out with the holidays. Where's dad?
And they got in a fight at the airport over. I don't know his place in line to get a $10, you know, small McDonald's cheeseburger. Yikes. Well, glad that I'm just staying home this holiday. Only crazies I gotta worry about dealing with my children and my cats.
Who's gonna be the the crazier ones this holiday? I don't know. I guess I gotta wait and find out. I'll keep you posted. Freak news is powered by Greasemonkey voted Idaho's best oil change and good morning, peaches.
Good morning to you. It's national emo day. National Emo Day. Oh, git. No celebrating Jay Davis today.
I'm thinking during the 4 PM hour, all emo requests for the peach their own. That's pretty good idea for National Emo Day. Alright. 4 PM now, our peach is hooking you up with all your favorite emo songs. Because tonight, we'll be in the line.
Alright. Well, let's dive in and see what we got going on for freak news today. Peaches, if you had to guess what the most beautiful winter city in the world is. Oh, I gotta go. What do you think it would be?
Somewhere over in Sweden maybe. Maybe Switzerland. Nope. We're gonna go. It's in the US.
Oh, it's in the US. I was thinking Iceland. Darn. Yeah. No.
It amazingly, it's in the US, and it's, known as the or was just named the most beautiful winter city in the world for its skyline and snowy winters. So there's a clue. It it it has a a skyline. Is it somewhere, like, on the East Coast, like, in the New England area Maybe. Closer to Massachusetts?
Maybe. Is it some obscure city in Massachusetts or is it sort of close by like in Connecticut? It has a skyline. So it's a major city. Are you talking about, like, the skyline or skyline Chile?
Which one? Yeah. Like, Idaho Falls, for example, does not have a skyline as far as I can imagine. Imagine it. You know, Pocatello, no skyline.
Even Boise, I wouldn't say has a skyline. There's, like, 2 tall buildings. Can you imagine that if they started making a skyline here, how everyone would freak out? Oh, it'll happen one of these days. It will.
I mean it's grown significantly. Yeah. If you look back at a 100 years ago, places like, LA and Vegas and stuff, I mean, they're they were pretty small. My parents' house started out as an orange grove, and then they demolished all of that and brought in all these same six models of houses, all in cul de sacs. That's right.
That's right. Nice, like at the beginning of the show, weeds. Ticky tacky neighborhoods. Yeah. Yeah.
Well, I'm trying to think about what what could it be? What could it be? Is it somewhere close by New York City? Mhmm. I would I would call it close.
Is it like Yankton or No. Again, major city. Major city like Major city. It's got a skyline. Oh, Brooklyn's like a Brooklyn's like a suburb of New York.
Oh, okay. I I give up. What is it? It? It's Boston.
Oh. Boston, which I find surprising because the article mentions that Boston hasn't had a, white Christmas in 15 years. Oh, yeah. So I mean, you would think for them? You would think that actually does sound pretty good.
You know, you know, who's not dreaming of a white Christmas? This guy. You know, who's had 70 degree Christmases before this guy. That sounds great. Southern California.
Sounds wonderful. Sounds amazing. So, yeah. I don't know. I would think, I guess they did say city, but you would think that I don't know.
Somewhere like In the world. Denver or Salt Lake. But but in the world. In the world. We're not talking about just here in the US.
We're talking that Boston somehow beats Switzerland as an entire country. Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland. Because, you know, I would think it would be somewhere with mountains Yeah. That that would be the best, you know, winter wonderland. Again, like, yeah, Denver or, I don't know, just somewhere where there's something to look at along with the skyline, even Salt Lake.
They got pretty cool mountains during the wintertime. You know? I don't know. So, anyway, Boston, it is number 1. You got your headphones?
Mhmm. Sure. Sure. It's freak news. It's it's, Now what year was this recorded?
The same year that Jade was born? Yes. 18/91. Oh. So the same year Jade was born.
Alright, peaches. Welcome to the radio. Number 1 for new country, 105 the hawk. Hey. Send us send us send us to Kewpie.
Ask if they could speed it up. Hey. I don't wanna hear this guy yapping about it. I just wanted to hear the song. Yeah.
Too slow. Speed it up a little bit. So, yeah, I don't know if countries come a long way or not from that. What would you what would you take? Luke Bryan or that song?
I can't I can't tell. I heard it's, like, a a tinny weird funnel sound. Yeah. Old recordings. No good.
You know? We're we're living in the best stage for music. I bet somebody's like, hey. That's great grandpa right there. We gotta be.
It's gotta be well, that could be 1891. That could be, like, great, great, great grandpa. A long time ago. That's a 150 years ago. Jeez.
That's crazy. The 19 eighties are almost 50 years old. Yeah. We're 6 years away. I know.
Almost 5. Don't remind me. You'll be set in a couple years, Victor. Victor Wilt will be 50. If I make it to 50, I'll be happy.
We'll do the big, K Bear Victor 50 birthday bash. You know how Howard Stern had all those musicians show up? We'll have Victor Wilt's, little celebration. Alright. I'm down for that.
You know, if we can do something to make me feel better about 50. 50 sounds really old. I thought when you'd hit 40 that you'd be like, oh, jeez. 40. I didn't really care when I hit 40.
I'm like, no big deal. Yeah. I'm treading I'm treading 30 to be quite honest with you. Yeah. And I'm I don't remember how I felt when I hit 30.
But, you know, I thought 40 was gonna be, like, crutching. And, no, no big deal. So maybe 50 will be, like, even less of a who cares. I know next year's the the big, golden birthday, 29 on 29th, and I'm like, oh, what should I do? Should I go to Vegas with the friends?
Should I do something? Hey. You know, depending on the time of year, Vegas can be a cheap and fun vacation. Well, it's August 29th. So that's gonna be Oh, that's not time to go to heat.
Yeah. That would be miserable. I've been to Vegas in August before. It sucks. My birthday lands on a terrible, terrible day.
I used to have to deal with, like, trying to throw a birthday party, and all my friends would be like, I'm starting school or they're already in school and they have homework to do. Oh, that's a bummer. My birthday is the opposite. There were times when the last day of school was on my birthday. Oh, good for you.
And what a present. Yeah. Happy birthday to me. Summer break. My first day of college on my 18th birthday.
Oh, jeez. Bummer, man. That's a real bummer. Alright. Anyway, I got plenty more stupid news we'll get into throughout the program.
Freak news is powered by Greasemonkey, voted Idaho's best oil change. Hang on. Alright. Let's take a look at a skit gone awry at a recent basketball game. The Charlotte Hornets.
You gotta think these things through and inform people, you know, all of the details of what you got going on if you're gonna do a skit that, you know, might make the the crowd and well, everybody get a little bit crazy after. What they did was during the Q2 of Monday's game against the Philadelphia 70 Sixers, they had their mascot come out dressed as Santa Claus, and they brought a 13 year old fan out onto the court. After a letter to Santa requesting a PS 5 was read aloud, a cheerleader gives this kid a PlayStation 5, and he's all excited. Who wouldn't be? Right?
Somebody just hand you a PlayStation 5? Yeah. Whoo. Merry Christmas. And then they took it away from him and gave him a Charlotte Hornets jersey.
You see this story yesterday, Peaches? I I talked about it yesterday, and I was laughing so hard at it because now this guy is probably gonna switch teams and go to, like, hey. I'm a fan of the 70 sixers now. Yeah. I mean, it turns out they ended up giving him 1, but as I read through the article, the kid's uncle is a, season ticket holder.
And so, he had been approached by staff to participate in the skit, and I guess they told the uncle, like, hey, we're not really giving him a PS 5. And he didn't tell the kid. But why is it that they're just pretending to give someone a chance? It's a terrible, like You know who owns that team? Prank, bro.
You know who owns that team. Right? No. Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan.
I think he sold it. Never mind. I think he sold it. Never mind. He was an owner he was the owner for the longest time and, yeah.
Why would you give a kid a PlayStation 5, make them all happy, and then give him a jersey? Yeah. It it's a weird you know, they're calling it a skit, like, you know. They're calling it a skit because they wanted to, like, oh, it was all a prank. Yeah.
I I don't know what they were going for here, but the kid's uncle, you know, nobody seems to be going, hey, dude. You you knew what was happening here. Why didn't you say anything? See, I didn't that part. I didn't see that part of the story at all.
Yeah. Because I saw this story going around and this particular article, was the only one that pointed that out. But, yeah, nobody else knew what was going on. Like, the cheerleaders, the crowd, the player, nobody knew what was going on. So they just thought they were bullying this kid.
Are they gonna send like LaMelo Ball to the house and everything? Like, they gotta have their star player do something. I think that's what the guy said in the statement. Yeah. They're give they're giving the kid a PS 5.
Right. Which is it's it's a small purchase compared to all those contracts those NBA players have. Exactly. $500. You know, I I don't think that, the Charlotte Hornets team is going to go bankrupt by spending $500.
I'm looking at LaMelo Ball contract. He made $10,000,000 last year. 10000000. This year, I should say. 8000000 last year.
8000000 the one before. 7 before that. Yeah. You could get everyone on the team to pitch in, you know, like, $10. Yeah.
He signed a 4 year $35,000,000 contract with 35,000,000 guaranteed as well. We can't afford to be giving these kids a place. One PlayStation that's out of our budget. They they should get into the radio biz. Was just chatting TV with my homie, JD.
Shout out to, JD, k Bear's Santa. We were talking about the TV show yellow jackets as well as the boys. I guess everybody watching yellow jackets right now. I've been talking with Josh about it at classy 97. I think we're pretty close to each other on where we're at in the series.
Watched episode 2 of season 2 last night, and it looks like season 3 is set to launch on Valentine's Day, so that's pretty cool. So many great things scheduled for release in 2025. Man, I hope 2025 is a decent year. That's all I'm hoping for. Just decent.
You know, somebody recently shared a post that I made in 2019. Told me, I'm so excited for 2020. It's gonna be awesome. Nope. We'll just go with I hope the year is decent.
You know, if we can get, you know, a new season of the boys, new season of yellow jackets, new season of from, but most importantly, grand theft auto 6. I think if if grand theft auto 6 comes out as it's been said to be, happening in 2025, then I'll I'll be fine. I'll be content with the I I shouldn't even say that. That that'll jinx it too. Hope that GTA 6 comes out.
Hope that 2025 is decent. Isn't is okay. It's just alright. Anyway, if you haven't checked out yellow jackets, I don't know if it's a show for everybody. K?
There have been a few scenes in it that I'm like, woah. Woah. Woah. Are they really going there? Oh my goodness.
But if you're into, you know, shows with, some horror elements, you'd probably dig it. Probably dig it. So that's what I've been been diving into yellow jackets, and, it's great. It's a lot of fun. But again, it it is kinda kinda gruesome at times.
I'm sure it would make some people uncomfortable. So just a heads up. But great cast. You got, Juliette Lewis, Christina Ricci. I mean tons of other people that I can't remember their names.
But it's very well cast and very, very good. Well, just had another abducted by aliens moment here. I'm multitiered multitasking right now, doing way too many things at once. And I was working on the Monday show because I'm not gonna be here on Monday. So I was prerecording freak news, and I was talking about this great dane on an airplane.
I know I was recording when I started. And then Jade walked in. So we had a great discussion about, you know, pets in general, dogs, cats, snakes, alligators. It was a really funny and fun break. And then I, you know, I think I cut off a song that you were listening to because instead of stopping the voice tracker, I just hit the green button.
And then I looked at the voice tracker, and it wasn't even recording. So me and Jade just did, like, a 5 minute break for no one. Just talking into the ether. And, of course, it was a good break. Yeah.
I give you all these terrible breaks all the time. You put up with it. I finally lay down some decent content for a day I'm gonna be gone. And then it's it was just for nothing. Nothing.
Oh, it's so aggravating. So, anyway, I guess maybe I need to only focus on, like, 2 tasks at a time instead of 3 or 4 because it's getting me nowhere. Oh, and I just remembered I forgot to take notes on everything I'd been up to this morning so far as well. So I I I gotta figure that out. Oh, too much to keep track of for a scattered brain like mine.
Anyway, yeah, I'll be gone Monday, but there's still gonna be a show. So tune in and check it out. And then as our Christmas gift to you, all of you who hate hearing my voice, on Christmas Eve and Christmas, you won't have to hear me at all. K? Merry Christmas.
Is it wrong to cheer for the eradication of a species? That's my question for you right now. Alright. Now listen. Hold on.
I saw a news article where they're just letting everybody know that murder hornets. Do you remember then? Oh, the murder hornets are coming. Yeah. They can destroy a honey beehive in just a few hours.
They also sting people and it hurts like real bad. It sucks when you get stung by a murder hornet. Well, for the first time in 5 years, they are declaring that murder hornets have been eradicated in the United States. No detections of the Northern Giant Hornet in Washington state since 2021 and they've just been kind of keeping an eye out. They're like, all right.
I think we're good. So yeah. I mean, we we ought to take care of the the honeybees, you know? Very important for growing crops and the environment. So we you know?
I I don't know how they got rid of them, but they're gone. So if you were terrified of murder hornets, you don't need to worry anymore. Just wanted to give you some good news on a Thursday. Alright? They're gone.
Everything's gonna be okay. By the way, yesterday, Peaches interviewed Matty Mullins from this band. You can find his interview on the socials as where, as well as the artist interrogations podcast available everywhere podcast can be found. We're We're talking about Memphis may fire. Check out his interview.
Hey, it's the radio. So let's talk about today's holidays. National holidays today. We're gonna start came up with an accent there. Yeah.
Where where where are you headed? Scott or something? We were we were watching ACDC and you know Brian Johnson has that little, like, twain in his voice. Yeah. That that might be worth it.
Well, little lady Gaga, the way he refers to her is kinda weird. Because he's like he's like 5 foot 8 and he's 70. Yeah. Is she short? I don't know.
She's real tiny. I've been to the wax museum that Madame Tussauds where they have the realistic statues of each celebrity. She's like 51. Wow. She's real small.
Yeah. It's interesting. Sometimes, celebrities that you think are average height end up being either really tall or really short. Like, I always thought Ollie Sykes was a short guy till I met him. I mean, he's he's very tall.
Same with, Noah Sebastian of Bad Omens. I thought he'd be a tiny guy. He's, like, 64. Oh, jeez. And then he got, you know, like your, your Ronnie Radkes and Corey Taylors.
Little guys. Little guys. And they're always the most mad. Something about being a little guy. Look at Peter Steele.
He's nice dude. Nice and chill. Big teddy bear. Look at Corey Taylor. Putting his opinion out there and everything.
Yeah. It just goes to show. The turned 21 yesterday. 21? Yeah.
Oh, let's take him out. Party. Woo hoo. He's down in Pocatello. Let's go to the Oasis or something like that.
Club 91, Russell. Take that. You can see the dancing ladies. Oh. He'd be happy.
He'd be all blushing. I can't imagine Russell at the bar. What if he just comes out with a bunch of ones? Well, yeah. It's your he should've gone yesterday on his birthday because that They would've treated him real well.
Might've taken him up on the stage, you know? Okay. Anyway, we probably shouldn't get into those kind of details. Russell Storms. He has the name to work as the DJ at the strip club.
He's just gotta get that hacky voice because for some reason, strip club DJs all talk like terrible radio DJs. Ladies and gentlemen, coming to the stage. Can be. And then Buckcherry starts playing. Okay.
Anyway, we're gonna Speaking of Buckcherry. Well, I don't know if they count. I don't know if they they're just kind of a butt rock band. I don't think we'd lump them into National Emo Day. I don't know.
I did see I was looking through many different playlists. You would have thought I was programming an entire emo radio station. Jade 101. Yeah. Well, I mean, alt's getting there.
Alt is getting there to Jade 101. Well that's why I gotta chime in sometimes, you know. And be like, Jade, you're wrong. Getting some new wave up in there. You're making darn sure.
I'm making darn sure. One zero one is not Jade 101. But, today, the is it the 4 o'clock hour that's gonna be Jade 101? That's right. Alright.
Peach is going all emo in celebration of National Emo Day during the 4 o'clock hour, but your pick of the day is a surprise. Oh, yeah. One of the worst bands of all time. Well, you know what? Because Jade's tuning in right now, I think.
He's always eavesdropping on. Because he heard me say it's National Emo Day this morning with you. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure he's in his office, like, what does he have lined up as the pick of the day?
Yeah. Why doesn't he thought he's gonna mess with things? Yeah. Why doesn't he keep an eye on, you know, those rapscallions down the hall? Josh and Chantelle, They're always up to trouble.
He should be paying attention to them. Didn't the Bobby Bones show just have, like, an explicit accident not that long ago where some listener dropped, like, the s bomb and there was, like, a whole mishap that way to fix it real fast? Uh-oh. The producer didn't know how to deal with the dump button? There was there was a while back, I remember.
Jade was running around. I don't remember that one. I remember there was, like, a delivery problem, but I don't know if it was a language problem. I just thought we didn't get the show right or something. No.
There was a there was a was a naughty word. You know, you look at Bobby Bones, another guy just as vile as little Russell. Yeah. They kinda look the same. They do.
Yeah. They they're right. It's like the evolution of Russell storms. He's gonna be Bobby Bones someday. Just need some thick rimmed glasses.
Right. I already got the nerdy look going on. I'm just playing, Russell. Just playing. You're a nice fella.
And picking on the little guy. But I'm a little guy too. So I can pick on the little guy. I can pick on little guys and big guys because I'm right in between. I'm short enough that I can be, like, look at you, you you giant.
And then the short guys be, like, you're smaller than me. You're really small. You and your younger brother way bigger than you now? Oh, he's been way bigger than me since, like, when I was in 6th grade or something. I mean, it was we were real young when all of a sudden he was taller than me.
And, you know, I learned my lesson because I used to, you know, pick on him a little bit. Then he threw me across the room one time. I was like, oh, okay. You start picking on your sister? Yep.
Hey, Amanda. Look at this. Got a little plastic spider in my hand. Oh, boy did my gum. Boy did my mom get mad.
Let's talk a bit about YouTube. Alright. In the last year or so, I would say I've gotten really into YouTube. You know, I've watched videos from time to time over the years, but it didn't really become one of my go to places for sitting back relaxing and watching stuff till this last year. And one of the content creators I've watched a number of videos from is a guy named Finn Mckenzie, also known as the punk rock m b a on YouTube.
Well, I guess this just goes to show that it's not only politicians who can make a really good living just by lying to people repeatedly to, you know, gather support and a fan base. Finn McKinsey. Boy, did he pull off a grift? Nah. He has retired from YouTube and says that, yeah, he reached his financial goals.
He hated doing music content. He has no interest in music, and all of his content was based around music. Hey. Just said in an interview. You know, I would look up information on Wikipedia, make these informative videos, but I didn't really give a crap.
He said things like, you know, learning an instrument is a waste of time. And, you know, thinking back to some of the videos I watched, I think there were clues there. You know, he talked about his history in marketing working for, like, Nike and Nintendo and things like that. I mean, it's right in his name, punk rock MBA. Might seem like he was all about the business just based on the channel name, but disappointing.
Disappointing because he really did play himself off pretty well as a, you know, grown up now hipster former hardcore kid. And he was just a liar. Just a liar. It's it's crazy. He had me convinced, you know, even if I disagreed with him at times on his takes, I was like, well, he's definitely a music guy, very knowledgeable, etcetera.
Okay. I guess if you're producing videos and writing a script, you can appear knowledgeable about just about anything. So that's pretty disappointing. I still think he put out some really good videos. I watched one about system of a down recently, which one of his claims he made in this interview where he talked about why he quit YouTube was that he had never listened to system of a down.
It's like, dude, you had to hear the songs when you were making the video. Come on. You never heard Chop Suey. Never. Whatever, dude.
So, anyway, I guess, one slot in the, you know, metal music space on YouTube has opened up because, boy, you know, talk about a way to get some backlash from your audience. I just made this crap so you guys would give me money. Idiots. Thanks. It's kinda like the arguments I've been getting in with people in radio online.
You know? Sometimes being ethical and legitimate well, it just doesn't take you very far. So in this day and age, be a greedy dirtbag, and you will you will find the success you've always dreamed of.
