The Viktor Wilt Show daily recap! If you miss the show weekdays from 6A-10A MST, you've come to the right place.
Wednesday. What's up? It's Viktor Wilt. Morning, and welcome to the program, the Victor Welt Show pre Thanksgiving day edition. Alright.
We could talk about Thanksgiving topics, but that's boring. Right? We could talk about farts. It's what you're supposed to do after your Thanksgiving meal. Take a fart walk.
That's what I just read online. A nice fart walk. Good for your health. Yeah. These are post meal strolls to improve digestion and regulate blood sugar levels.
So you go on a walk and you fart. Alright. You'll feel a little bit better or something like that. No. What I actually wanted to talk about was power wash simulator.
Alright. This is a very popular game and I, for the life of me, cannot understand why. And, yes, I've played it. I'm not like peaches with VR where he's like, no. I've never tried it, but it sucks.
No. I've played power wash simulator more than once and I just do not get the hype on this game. Alright? Now they're saying, according to a new study, that this game can boost your mood. They found that players experience a noticeable uplift in their spirits when playing the game, especially during the first 15 minutes of gameplay.
And they're touting other benefits like average gaming session only lasting about 40 minutes and that 72% of players experience some improvement in mood. Okay. I'll give you that for the first two minutes. Power wash simulator seems like it's gonna be fun. It's what it sounds like.
Okay? You've got a power washer and you do things like clean off cars or sidewalks. Alright? For about 2 minutes, it's like, oh, yeah. This this could be fun.
And then it just turns into one of the most boring video games of all time as far as I'm concerned. I did not reap the benefits of Powerwash Simulator. I get a lot more benefit playing, Red Dead. You wanna talk about a mood enhancer. You just get on the horse, ride around, maybe do some missions, maybe do some hunting, take some skins to the trapper, get yourself a nice jacket.
And, that tends to calm my mood. Power wash simulator, it feels like when I think back that I get more aggravated as I play it. So I can't imagine a 40 minute session playing power wash simulator. Maybe it's better on PC. I got it as a free PlayStation plus game.
So maybe using the, you know, controller is not the most satisfying way to play it. Maybe if you use a mouse, it's much better. But I just could not get into it. I gave it multiple shots because I've, again, seen so much hype about this game. People love it.
And looks like this game's terrible. It's so boring. Give me some grand theft auto. Really been enjoying playing San Andreas. I I guess what?
Is there such a thing as spoilers for, like, a 20 year old game? I just got out of the the main city, Los Santos. So, starting to get pretty fun. There's still so much map that I haven't checked out. And, you know, it's been a long time.
I haven't played this game since I was a teenager. I don't even remember there being areas outside of Los Santos. So this is pretty crazy. It's like a brand new game to me. It's been very fun.
Gotta do something to kill time until GTA 6. Alright. I think that the older generation, which I guess I'm part of now, tends to underestimate the younger generation. There's a thread which I haven't read through, but I figured we'd dive into on Reddit. What's something from everyday life that was completely obvious 15 years ago but seems to confuse the younger generation today?
Alright. So I've I've got a couple children. I would call them the younger generation, and I figured we'd look through this and I'd go, okay. Yeah. They have no clue about that.
Or no. Everybody knows about that. What are you talking about old people on Reddit? And I have a feeling that some of these things are gonna be much older than 15 years. 15 years wasn't very long ago.
As somebody mentioned in the comments, 15 years ago was 2009. So I mean, me sitting here, I am trying to think of something that was very different 15 years ago. I mean, we already had social media. Cell phones were very common. I don't think that there is much that's going to confuse the younger generation from 15 years ago, maybe like 40 years ago, but, well, let's see what they got here.
File systems. A lot of college grads or college interns apparently have no idea how a file system works. Is that just because people don't know how to use, computers anymore? Well, my kids know how to use them. So I I don't know.
I know a lot of people are just using their cell phones as far as the Internet goes, but I don't know if file systems were ever something that were completely obvious to the average person. It's why social media was so much better back in the day. You had to know how to use a computer to use social media. Once it got on phones and any old idiot could use it, that was the downfall. Twice social media sucks now.
It was all a bunch of nerds before that. It was great. Now anybody can just go and post their thoughts. Sometimes it was better to have your head in the sand about the reality of the way a lot of people's minds work. Very disappointing humanity once everybody was online.
Changed my perspective. Alright. Let's see here. Troubleshooting your own computer. Again, this is a post on Reddit.
I don't think the average person knew how to troubleshoot their own computer. I don't think this is a young people issue. Now, my kids Yeah. They don't know how to troubleshoot their computer. Try to teach them Yeah.
So do it like a tech guy. Google it. You know? Google your problem. You'll find answers.
It's how you get the job done. But when I think back I mean, I had a few friends that were computer nerds that could troubleshoot their own computer, but they were computer nerds. Alright? The average person no. No.
Don't throw shade on young people. The Reddit perspective. It's, you know, not quite reality. Let's see. Remembering phone numbers of friends and families.
That's not just a young person problem. Alright. How many phone numbers do you remember? I don't remember very many. I know the Kay Bear hotline.
208-535-1015. Call me. I know my kids' numbers, but I I mix them up. I'll have to open up my phone and be like, okay. You know, if somebody asks me for Terrence phone number, I'm like, I think I know which one it is.
And then I look it up, and I'm like, oh, it was the other one. But, you know, my memory's garbage. Anyway, I remember my phone number from when I was a kid, my home phone. I know the phone number to the front desk. That's about it.
That's about it. Alright. So so far, this list, I'm not finding it to be very good. Let's see. Having a dedicated device for listening to music like an iPad or Walkman, I mean, I guess your phone is not a dedicated music listening device, but, yeah, there's just no need for that anymore.
I don't think it's, confusing to young people. Actually, I was in a vinyl shop in Salt Lake a few months ago, and they were selling Walkmans in there. They're like a trendy hot item. So we'll probably see the return of the Discman and the Walkman simply because kids think they're fun and, you know, trendy. So alright.
Alright. That one. I mean, I will at least no. 15 years ago? 15 years ago, you know, smartphones were in by that point.
I guess people may have still been using lockmans and Discmans 15 years ago. Maybe. I don't know though. That that seems like more of a 25 year old thing. But who knows?
Who knows? Alright. Well, these nerds on Reddit, they do not represent the average person, so I think we'll move on from this. Alright. Almost 7 o'clock already?
Really hoping this day just rockets by. And, thankfully, I'm ahead of the game today. No surprises, hopefully, coming from Jade. Hey. Here's a giant pile of work you need to have done by the end of the day.
Wouldn't surprise me at all when all I wanna do is get home and get to relaxing, relaxing and then enjoying my one day off tomorrow. Alright. Anyway, I was reading a post about the ocean. Not the band. The actual ocean.
It's funny that someone would post what scares you the most about the ocean on Reddit because I don't think the ocean's something that most people are frightened by. Right? Most people seem to be all down with it. The ocean terrifies me. Like, can you imagine being out on a boat in the middle of it when you couldn't see land?
Couldn't see land anywhere? I think I've watched too many horror movies or or something. Plus, you get that seasickness going on. Yeah. I mean, most people are talking about the vastness of it.
It's it's huge. It's massive. You know, barely any of it's been explored. Who knows what's down there? Creatures.
That's what's down there. Creatures. Alright. Big creatures. Somebody commented on this post about going diving, and they and their friends were like, well, let's dive down to where the anchor of the boat is.
And as they're going down, they're watching their friend. He looks up and waves at him, and a gigantic dark shadow goes underneath him. A giant dark shadow. I don't care if it was a whale that doesn't really mess with people on a normal day. When there are beasts of that size, why on earth would you go in there?
Sharks? You know, they're they're always attacking people. Somebody pointed out, it's full of dead bodies. Well, it is. As a matter of fact, all kinds of dead stuff in the ocean.
Scary. I've stood in front of the ocean before and been like, oh, jeez. You know, just hearing the sound and power of it when the tide's coming in. I'm like, this is this is crazy. I don't know.
My my brain operates in weird ways sometimes. I'm sitting there looking at it, thinking about okay. What, 1000000 of years ago, some life form crawled out of the ocean. And with 1,000,000 of years of evolution. Now I'm standing here staring at this frightening monstrosity known as the ocean.
But you feel a connection to it. Yeah. That's where we all came from, man. Yeah. Go hippie style today.
I don't know. The ocean's weird to me. It's scary and majestic. Anyway, I just wanted to point out it's scary, I guess. That's k.
You can call me a wuss. I don't care. Alright? I hate it right before I wake up when I have a dream about a radio break that I wanted to do, and then I can't remember what it is when I got here. Seems like there was some kind of break that for days, I have been wanting to bust out on this show something really fun and funny or else I'm just imagining things due to deja vu and whatever happens while we're dreaming.
It's like just right there in the back of my mind somewhere. This awesome break that I wanted to share with y'all. And I just can't recall on what on earth it could be. So annoying. So annoying.
I mean, I will say that today, I'm happy that a lot of the topics I'm seeing pop up are just stupid Thanksgiving topics. You know, for a while there, I I almost couldn't take getting online. There was just too much stressful stuff floating around. And I I don't know if I've just managed to change my algorithm up a little bit, but it it's looking a lot better today. So, anyhow, I I hope your morning's going alright so far.
Hoping the day goes by quick so everybody can get to enjoying their holiday weekend mowing down food. I still gotta figure out what I'm gonna eat. I don't know. Got a lot of different ideas because I'm just gonna hang out at home and chill with, my lady from afar. We're gonna watch some good stuff and eat some good stuff all day.
But I gotta go to the grocery store today and get something to eat. And I don't know what I want because I'm generally not hungry at this time of day. I think I mentioned that yesterday at about this time. Not looking for suggestions here. I'm just babbling on, because I do that sometimes.
I was hoping that if I babbled on long enough, I'd remember that stupid break I wanted to talk about. It's gonna make me crazy. What was it? What was it? Oh, well.
Might just have to talk about turkeys. I I don't know. Anyhow, I got more music on the way. I will find something to actually talk about rather than, you know, whatever this is. Whatever I just did, you could call it a waste of time.
You could call it pointless, but I don't know. I mean, I talked. It's jink not jank show. Sorry. I just got done recording jank show.
It's the Victor Will show. I mean, that song's heavy enough. It could be on jank show. Happens Saturday nights at 10 PM. 4 hours of metal.
If you like metal, you'll like it. If you like metal, there may not be a number of exciting record store day releases coming out for Black Friday. Record store day happens every year. Independent record stores unleashing a bunch of, exclusive vinyl and things like that. The sad thing is that we don't have a store here in east Idaho that participates in record store day, which is pretty disappointing.
You know, there are a number of stores in Idaho in places that I go, alright. If, Wallace has a record shop that's taken part in record store day, What's going on Pocatello in Idaho Falls? I know we got vinyl shops. Judith, you need to talk to your brother-in-law there at Budget. Get him on board.
Now, again, I didn't see anything that was, like, a must have for me under the list of releases, but, you know, there's stuff from, I don't know, the Beatles, the Doors, Cypress Hill. What about Cypress Hill? Live at rock in park, 1999. Well, that could be fun. Garbage.
Got some stuff from garbage, an album called copy slash paste. What else do we have here? Pearl Jam putting out their record store day song of the year release. Rage Against the Machine live at the Democratic National Convention 2000. Motley Crude, 35th anniversary, doctor feel good.
Again, we need a store around here to participate. Moscow has stores, not Russia. Moscow, Idaho. And, yes, I said it right. Had a friend who lived there, went to school there.
He said you have to say Moscow, not Moscow. So there's a the more you know moment. But Moscow's got 2 stores. That's a little Podunk town, Moscow. You know?
And again, Wallace. Wallace is in the middle of nowhere. There's nothing around it. It's, you know, a cool little town. But Pocatello, Idaho Falls.
Come on. Get it together. Get it together. So I've been talking a bit about Reddit today. There's a particular subreddit that they keep trying to feed me that I'm like, just stop.
Just stop already. I don't wanna read these things. Not everything on the Internet is pleasant, and there's a subreddit called am I overreacting that I don't believe I've ever commented on a post on. But day after day, they just keep feeding me these depressing, bleak posts. And, I mean, I think people post in there a lot just to get upvotes.
You know? Raise that Reddit karma a little bit. But, I mean, some of these, I I wouldn't even want to mention them on air because they're just so depressing. Well, people that are getting cheated on. Should I, you know, settle down?
Am I overreacting? Because, you know, my, my girlfriend, she spent a whole week with the next boyfriend and she said, there's nothing to worry about. Jeez. Like, I don't know. It seems like it wouldn't be good for your mind to sit around and read this crap all day.
And then some of them, you go, well, obviously, you're not overreacting. The top post right now on that page is someone opened my car door and tried to attack me. I reversed and my car door hit her. Am I overreacting? Because someone tried to attack me and, you know, so I tried to get out of there.
No. Obviously, if somebody tries to attack you in your vehicle, hitting the gas is one of the only solutions. Right? One of the only good solutions. Get.
And if they get hit by the car door, well, they shouldn't have tried to attack you. The end. Anyway, I just wanted to give you a heads up. You should probably not read through this subreddit if you wanna keep yourself feeling cheery. It it was bleak.
It was dark. There was a I mean, again, I could dive into some of the bothersome posts that I read today, but I'm not gonna ruin your day. It didn't ruin my day, but there was one in particular that I read that made me just angry. So Oh, great. And now that I was in that subreddit scrolling around, they're gonna feed me even more of it.
It's a terrible subreddit. Now these are people who need to go talk to a counselor. Alright? You shouldn't necessarily take the Internet's advice on what you need to do with your life. If something is making you uncomfortable, you have every right to your personal feelings.
Alright? You don't need to go on a am I overreacting subreddit and get the Internet to tell you, yeah. You're overreacting. You know, you you shouldn't feel that way. Shut up.
You have every right to feel the way you feel. You're an individual. Don't let other people tell you how to feel even if they don't understand it. Well, that oh, well. That's their problem, not yours.
Anyway, let you know if, I keep getting pummeled with that throughout the day, but we'll be back. Freak news powered by Greasemonkey voted Idaho's best oil change. Yo. What's up? It's Victor Will.
Let's party. Let's dig into some stupid news. Okay. This kinda ties into a story I talked about the other day. That story the other day was about the fact that, 1 in 5 Americans get their news from social media influencers and how completely insane that is.
Well, let's get into some more stats on this subject. The majority of social media influencers who share information with their followers do so without verifying its accuracy. Yeah. Like, 2 thirds. Don't look things up before they share them online, these big social media influencers.
This is why people are so stupid. Alright? I've talked plenty about how you need to verify information before you share it. K? I find all kinds of crazy stories and, you know, you might have a a weird rumor going around.
So and so passed away or whatever. You have to look these things up before you share them as a media source. Or at least you should. You should have to look that stuff up. I do.
Because I don't want listeners going to do it. That was just completely made up. Why did you share that? But when it comes to news, you know, people will just buy into anything if their favorite social media influencer shares that with them. You know, I talked about my frustrations with the Joe Rogan podcast.
You know, it was a show I listened to for years years up till, you know, he got his, brain fried by COVID, moved to Texas, and it it has been enjoyable in the last few weeks seeing old videos of Joe Rogan making the rounds on Reddit and people are like, oh, what happened to this guy? It's a question I've been asking for years. I'm glad that, everybody else is finally figuring that out. Because 2, you know, 2 thirds of people who share their information without verifying it, He's one of the worst. Alright?
He's one of the worst. And I know we have a lot of people who listen to his show who are fans. I'm just telling you, as someone who is a long time listener, I probably listened to that show way before you did. Something happened and he's just a typical old boomer now. Probably start sharing AI images before we know it going, can you believe this?
I can't believe this dog rescued, you know, 50 people from on top of a roof. So, anyway, just keep in mind that your favorite social media influencer, no matter how popular they might be, it doesn't mean they know what they're talking about. K? Doesn't mean they're sharing accurate information. Just look at how many times Jamie corrects Rogan on the current show.
Alright? Anyway, enough talk about that. Don't put Christmas lights on your car. There was a guy in, in Canada who covered his car with Christmas lights. It looks neat.
It looks festive, but I bet you couldn't do it here. I could ask lieutenant Crane on Friday, but I know you're not supposed to have colored lights, blue or red or, you know, I think pretty much anything, pointing in any direction aside from under your vehicle. So if you have flashing red and blue and green and purple lights all over your rig, you're probably breaking the law and you're gonna get pulled over. Now this driver's like, well, I don't care. I didn't do what I want.
I've had warnings from the police, but I'm not gonna take these lights off my car. Alright. Well, then when you end up getting ticketed, don't cry to the Internet about it. Don't go to the am I overreacting subreddit. Should I, you know, be so upset with my local police because I was breaking the law and they ticketed me for it?
I can't believe I'm just trying to celebrate Christmas. That actually probably will be a post there before we know it. What else do we have here? More alien news. Aliens have a simple three word message for us humans, top US veteran claims.
Alright. What are the three words? Because one thing he said, they asked him because this guy I guess he just talks to aliens, retired US Air Force captain, Robert Sallis. So he's, you know, said he's had multiple close encounters with aliens. He he just chats with them.
So they were very surprised that, humanity had nuclear weapons. You know, he says that these are peaceful aliens, and they they're not happy about that. They they don't like that. What were the three words, though? What were the stupid three words the article doesn't say?
I got a whole bunch of, many more than three word sentences here. But I've I've read this article three times. And I just want to point out they didn't put the 3 words in there. Alright. We got a caller here.
Let's see what they want. K Bear, you're live on the show. Please keep that in mind. Who's this? Oh, it's JD.
Good morning. Love you. Love you show. Hey. Hey, JD.
Good to hear from you, man. You got some alien news or what? What's on your mind? Well, I was thinking about those three words. Right?
Mhmm. And I would have thought that that'd be listen to Victor. Listen to Victor? I I like that. I like that.
I I thought that was that would be, you know, appropriate three words, wouldn't it? I agree. Yeah. I'm all down with those being the three words since, you know, I I can't figure out what the three words are. So Yeah.
It would be there, I mean. Well, thank you, JD. Good to hear from you, man, and, I hope you have a wonderful holiday. You too, sir. Hey.
Thanks, man. See you, JD. Peace. Bye. I'm I'm actually getting mad at this article.
I just keep scrolling it over and over looking for the three words. Now there was an x files episode that me and my lady watched the other day where they talked. It was called 3 words, I think. And the 3 words from X Files, because my memory is so terrible, I can't remember what those three words are either. Fight the future.
Thank you, Google. Maybe that's what the three words were from the aliens. Fight the future, like in X Files. Okay. Let's see.
We got another caller here. K Bear, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this? This is Mitch.
I thought I'd give you a little bit of history on mister Solis. Okay. Let's hear more about salt. I mean, I I read a little bit about him in this article here, but I I didn't get into it on the air. Go ahead.
Robert Saulas was in charge of a missile base. I don't know. It sounds like the tip of my tongue. Mount Rumpston Mount Mountainston Air Force Base is a missile base where we have missile silos and manned missile silos. That's in Montana.
Right? Yeah. Yeah. Rumpston. Yeah.
They, one night, a UFO came, infiltrated the base. Well, flew around the base, and every one of their missile silos shut down. Woah. That's pretty weird. Turned off.
Turned off. Completely off. And the thing about it is that each missile silo has its own defaults, its own they're not connected with each other. So, you know, one can shoot off whenever the guy says to shoot it off or whatever like that, but they're not connected. But they all, 1 by 1, shut down.
And then after a few minutes, they turned them back on. So to say, like, well, you could try shooting them if you want, but we've got full control over this situation. So Wow. Pretty crazy stuff, man. He looks like he's, he's written a book.
You know, older guy, 82 years old. Yeah. It happened in he's 67, was it? 60 7? Yeah.
67 according to the article. So that's pretty crazy, man. Pretty crazy. Yeah. So but I don't know what the three words are.
Nobody does. I looked in the comments, to see if anybody you know, like, do I just not know how to read? People in the comments are pointing out that, there don't appear to be, 3 words anywhere in that article. Oh. So I'm guessing thought I'd fight It's gotta be fight the future.
It's what it's gotta be. Yeah. Yeah. Well, appreciate the call, man. God help god help you?
Yep. Yes. That that could be it. I I can think of a number of possibilities, but, no verification in the article. So, Well, I thought I take it very seriously, all that stuff.
So I thought I'd call in, give a brief history, and, that stuff happens. And it's, well, it's just real. I mean, the government's the government has already admitted it themselves. They might not tell us the whole truth, but we've got some of the truth. Yeah.
We're getting little bits of information more and more all the time. I mean, they have admitted there are at least crafts they claim they don't know what they are. That they Yeah. You know, claim they don't know. So And they call they call it a threat.
Yeah. So and that is on purpose. Everybody's supposed to think that it's Independence Day time. And it's really it's really not the case because if they were a threat, we would have already been hurting from it. You would think so.
Yeah. You would think so unless unless they have, sent their shape shifting, you know, representatives down and, you know, managed to get them placed into positions of power around the world, and they're all controlling us, the reptilian shape shifter. The reptilian. The reptilian. Yes.
Well, I, I hope you have a great, Thanksgiving, man, and really appreciate the call today. Oh, Victor. You too, Victor. I hope you have a good turkey day. Hey.
Thanks, man. Good to hear from you. Right. See you. Bye.
There you go. Freak news powered by Grease Monkey voted Idaho's best oil change, and why don't you just hang on? Some of these HOA stories that I come across, They just cement the fact that I will never live in a place with an HOA. You know, I like being able to decorate how I want. That's one thing, but this is just taking it to a stupid new level.
You've got this HOA in Florida that noticed that some people in the neighborhood had expired tags on their vehicles. So they called up a tow company and started hauling cars away saying that they were illegally parked in their own driveway because their registration had lapsed. And some of them, it was just like a few weeks. Yeah. We've all well, maybe not we've all.
But many of us have had our registration expire and not noticed. It's happened to me before. And, you know, you might get pulled over for it and go, oh, jeez. I I had no idea. I'll go get that dealt with.
The cops don't drag you out and tow your vehicle away. I mean, unless maybe they've been expired for years and you've been pulled over multiple times. I I guess they could. But I think chances are unless you're being a complete dirtbag, they're gonna let you off with a warning using that officer discretion. Right?
Don't generally have to worry about, you know, being a few weeks over on a registration and your vehicle being hauled away, especially out of your own driveway. So jeez. Again, just another reason to avoid living in an HOA. I remember reading a story recently about, an Arizona HOA where they were ticketing residents for going 2 miles per hour over the speed limit. Yeah.
Forget that, man. Forget all that. You traveling for the holiday? Well, I hate to break it to you, but you're gonna have to leave the bear spray at home and the magic 8 ball. Yeah.
Magic 8 ball. Not allowed on an airplane. I didn't know that one. Should have known because it's got liquid in it. You know?
Very scary to the TSA. Little bit of fluid, but you can bring handcuffs. Why would you be allowed to bring handcuffs on an airplane? Just wondering, just wondering. You can also bring an antler on a plane.
I'm pretty sure you could hurt somebody with an antler. Well, who's stuffing antlers into their carry on bag? I don't know. People are dumb. They stuff all kinds of things in there they're not supposed to bring, so antlers, sure.
You can bring a live lobster on an airplane. You just have to say it's a pet, I guess. Can you imagine the person sitting next to you? They've got a lobster in their carry on bag on the floor in front of you. Apparently, it's fine.
You can bring a whole pizza as well. You can't bring Magic 8 Ball, but you can bring a pizza. Alright? I guess it's solid enough. Cream cheese, iffy.
Yeah. It's it's sort of solid, but sort of, sort of creamy and liquidy. You know, you leave it out of the fridge for a while. It might turn into liquid. What does it mean?
I don't know. You can also bring spurs. Like, for your boots. That's fine. You know?
Razor sharp Spurs. You can bring those along. That's that's cool. But, you know, just don't be bringing any, bowling pins. Okay.
What? I don't know. It's kinda like Idaho law. You know, it's okay to lot ride in the back of a pickup truck. But if you're inside of a vehicle, you gotta wear your seat belt, but you also don't have to wear a helmet if you ride a motorcycle.
No. No rhyme or reason when it comes to rules sometimes. But if you're heading to the beach, I'll let you know you can bring sand back. Okay? You can bring sand.
So, you know, have fun in, I don't know, San Diego or wherever you're headed. Heading somewhere nice. Sure sounds good. It's very, very chilly and gloomy out. Perfect time to hunker down at home.
If I can ever get out of here today if I can ever get out of here, it's gonna be wonderful. Alright. Anyway, good luck with your travels. I ain't going anywhere. I went through all of the pending posts on the Kay Bear Group.
Sorry if yours had been in there for a while. My bad. And I approved one that I knew would get people screaming at each other. The post was from a page called unofficial Kevin Alpine, And they said, I believe tipping waitresses is required. Don't go out if you can't tip.
And then people just start going at each other in the comments here. What I wanna know is how bad does the service have to be to not tip at a restaurant? Alright. We know that you get asked to tip in a variety of places nowadays. Alright?
They you didn't in the past. Now me, as long as I'm feeling like I'm, you know, financially okay, I tend to leave a tip at places that a lot of people might not. You see this post on our group, I approve beaches? Yeah. I was about to ask you about it because there was, like, 5 moderation alerts out of nowhere of people just cussing at the guy.
Yeah. Well, some people are, you know, cheap. Some people are cheap. Now I say you can tip tip your servers, of course. Do that whole thing.
But if you're that guy that screams that when we're out to eat, like, if you don't tip, don't go out. Like, if you're that weird dude that says that for some reason at the public place, I'll never eat with you again. Have you ever heard someone say that for a public place? I'm I'm calling him out. Alright.
Well, why were you saying you weren't gonna tip or something? No. He, for some reason, screamed at him. Like, what are you doing? Alright.
Well, you know, you should advocate for these people working in the service industry. You know, servers make, like, $3 an hour. Yeah. Right. That's just how it is.
Mhmm. So I think if you're going out to eat what I was wondering is how bad the service would have to be for you to not tip. Like, what situation? I would think the server had to be directly rude to you, like, insulting. You know, say your food comes out and it's, you know, undercooked or you don't like the meal, that's not the server's fault.
That doesn't bother me at all. I just say, hey. Could I get a remake? And that's about it. Yeah.
So what what would a server have to do to get no tip from you, peaches? I mean, they'd have to directly insult me. Be my ex. I don't know. Okay.
Well, you know, if you have an ex and you know they work somewhere, just don't go there. Sure. Like, even if the service is really slow, I'd still tip because that's not the server's fault. You know, I've been to a variety of restaurants, and, I've gotten mad enough to, like, just leave because it was taking so long, but I didn't order anything. You know?
So it wasn't a situation where I'd like, well, here's a server. You tried to do your job. I'll leave you $2. No. I gotta get something.
Gotta get something. But some of the people in there in the comments I don't know. I think y'all are being a little bit, cheap. And I would love to know what crappy service would lead to you not leaving a tip. Because, you know, when they spin the the thing around at, say, a coffee shop Yeah.
Mhmm. You know, I tend to tip there too, you know, for the most part, because these are generally young people. They don't make much money. You know? If you can give them a dollar, 2 buck I remember when I was first working, you know, I worked at, the Holiday Inn.
And, every once in a while, someone would leave a tip. And, like, $2 when you make no money, $2 goes a long way. If I found $2 on the ground outside, I'd still be happy, peaches. $2 is $2. Yeah.
Definitely. Yeah. You can get yourself something for it. You know, it might not be much, but $2 is $2. So, everybody in here who's like, restaurants should pay them more.
Well, until our state legislature requires them to, do you think they're going to? No. Well, shout out to Casa Bonita. Trey Parker and Matt Stone, they're paying their staff, like, $30 an hour. No tipping required, anything like that.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's great. Do so.
It's like my daughter lives in Phoenix, and, the servers there. I don't remember what the base wage is for servers there. Let's look it up real quick. But it it's much better than here. Arizona server wage.
Let's see. Minimum wages for tipped employees, 14:35 an hour. That's better than most jobs around here Definitely. That you don't get tips at. So, you know, again, until Idaho decides to change the law, sorry, you need to tip your server unless, I don't know, they punch you in the face.
I I really can't think of a situation where the server that I've ever experienced was so terrible. They didn't reserve or deserve a tip. Let's see what somebody's got here. Kbert, you are live on the show. Please keep that in mind.
Who's this? This is Josh. Josh, what up, dude? I was just gonna comment on not tipping a server. Okay.
Yeah. What situation would you think a server no longer deserves a tip? When they are blatantly taking care of someone else more than yourself. Okay. That happened to me and my wife.
We went to Outback, and there was, like, a 6 top. I I dumped out on the business you mentioned, but, just so we can keep it so we can keep it vague. Yeah. It's okay. Yeah.
Yeah. Tell tell your story. But there was a 6 top there, and they our server took way better care. The light was walking past us to go to them. And He knew he knew he was probably gonna get a better tip out of him.
And it so because it was a table with more people? Yeah. Okay. Well, I'm I'm assuming that's why he did it. Now, I mean, if you have more people at the table, there's more people to deal with.
So I mean And and I get that, but he, like, never stopped in to check on us. Like, was blatantly walking past us. Well, was it a pretty busy night? Not really. Alright.
You could you could just tell Okay. So that goes toward the the attitude toward you directly. Alright. Yeah. You know, if And and we we did still tip because I don't believe in tipping, but it was not a very great tip.
Alright. And, yeah, there were times when I'll certainly leave a much better tip than others. Yeah. But yeah. Yeah.
I was For me. Kinda surprised by the number of people going, no. I ain't gonna tip. And I just wondered what exactly the server did. So For for me, your tip deter is determined by how hard you how much you've helped us.
You know, help me how hard you're how hard you're working, I guess. Gotcha. Gotcha. And and and I take an account busy nights and whatnot, but at night was terrible. Well, appreciate the, the story, man.
I hope the next time is better, and, I hope you have a Yeah. A great, holiday. You too, Victor. Thank you. Right on.
Peace, man. See you. Peace. Me as well. Oh, yeah.
Peaches is here, everybody. Peaches is here. And I I I gotta correct myself. I was looking at this chart wrong. The minimum wage for servers in Arizona is 11.30 5.
I even asked Chad GPT, what would you what situations would you, not tip your server? Okay. Intentional rudeness if the server is blatantly rude, dismissive, or unprofessional without cause. Sure. Neglect if the server completely ignores your table for an extended period of time without explanation like Josh there.
Dishonesty, if there is evidence of deceptive behavior such as overcharging or tampering with the bill. Now would that happen and would that be on the server? You know, I I guess they might might be punching up the orders, but to intentionally I don't know. You gotta be pretty sadistic to intentionally charge peep you know, screw up their bill. And then the final one here, hostility if the server exhibits discriminatory or offensive behavior.
Yeah. Oh, okay. Absolutely. So that's not very many situations. Not really.
K Bear, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this? Hi. This is Dylan.
Dylan, what's on your mind? I just wanted to comment on the, servers. Okay. I I have a personal story. I got into a, verbal altercation with the, server.
Okay. And I still leave at least a 10% tip for this server. Hey. That's pretty good. These people are out here making $4 an hour trying to make ends meet.
I understand nights get frustrating. My other nights are harder than others. I think we we need to take care of our own. Hey, dude. I totally agree, man.
So that that's, very admirable of you. You know, I I can't think of a situation where a server was, you know, directly rude to me. So I I guess when the day comes, then I'll go, oh, okay. Don't you know who I am? Here we go.
No tip for you. But, yeah, when back of the day. It's tough when they're making, you know, 3:35 an hour. Idaho, one of the, lowest wages in the country for servers. So, you know, I I I definitely do what I can, to help people out.
So Yeah. I I think we all should. Well, thanks, man. Appreciate the call today, and hope you have a wonderful holiday. Thank you.
You too. Peace. You as well, peaches. Another one. Another one.
So we've got the holiday coming up tomorrow. Lot of people getting the next 4 days off. Oh, good for you. No. I I got tomorrow off and then the weekend, so that ain't too bad.
