The Viktor Wilt Show daily recap! If you miss the show weekdays from 6A-10A MST, you've come to the right place.
[heavy metal music] It's the Victor Wilt Show. It's, uh, what, Tuesday? Geez. This week needs to go by a little quicker, that's for sure. I hope you're doing great today. Hope you're, uh, well-rested. As is typical, I'm, I'm not, but
I'll survive. Busy day ahead. And, you know, Peaches mentioned this left monitor here being green yesterday. It really is distracting and annoying. [laughs] It just looks like crap.
I would imagine that's gonna die on us soon, so that's fantastic. But hey, it's working for now. So, I'll be able to hopeful- hopefully accomplish the many things I need to get done this morning in quick fashion. Hectic day ahead, but we'll crush it down. We'll get through it. You know, we're gonna continue to give away tickets to Bad Omens all week. Bad Omens, Beartooth, and President hitting up the Delta Center in Salt Lake City on February 22nd. Gonna be a sick show. Scalpers are really ripping people off on tickets, so
can't beat free. And all you gotta do is listen for the Bad Omen sounder. It's very obvious when you hear it. You'll know it. When you do, be caller number 20. We'll hook you up with a pair of tickets to the show, and uh, then we'll see you there 'cause, uh, ain't gonna miss out on that one. If you need details on the show, fire up the, uh, K-Bear app or go to riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. Find that link to where you can pick up some reseller tickets. There, there are some for a pretty decent deal. But it, it's just crazy what scalpers try to charge sometimes. Like, y- you guys are nuts. Wait till, uh, closer to day of show, I'd say, to buy your tickets 'cause it... yeah, ridiculous. Or, yeah, just try to go for free. Can't beat free.
[heavy metal music] I need to, uh, pick up the pace here, get some stuff done.
All right, I'll s- I'll, I'll stop panicking. [laughs] All right. What, what was I looking at here? Well, I guess I'm n- looking at the, uh, naked cyclists. Yeah, uh, apparently in the UK people don't like them as much as they do in Portland, Oregon. Naked cycling campaigners having to hire security prot- to protect them against a furious public. Um, [laughs] that'd be like if you had a naked bike ride here. People would be, uh, up in arms, I would imagine, about that. And the, uh, protest group says they fear for the future of their event in the UK
due to the growing risk of hostility from members of the public who are less tolerant of public nudity. Uh, not sure what they're, uh, protesting, but, you know, if you can find an excuse to ride a bike naked, [laughs] I guess go for it. Um, yeah, i- if you wanna take part in one of these, you gotta go to, like, Oregon, all right? UK doesn't seem like the type of place where this is gonna go well. And, you know, getting attacked while you're naked on a bike, th- that's just not a good day. You know? And, I mean, obviously at this time of year, it would be miserable to ride a bike fully clothed, let alone, uh, yeah, in the buff there. So, yeah, if you were thinking o- of taking a trip to the UK for the annual naked bike ride, it's, it, it doesn't sound very safe right now if they're having to call in security. You know? J- just go to Portland. All right. I'm digging for content. I think I'm gonna start digging for more coffee too, and I will return in just a minute, so hang on. [heavy metal music] Well, I'm sure you've heard me complain about air travel from time to time. It's the process that just annoys the crap out of me. All that security crap you gotta go through. I don't think they make any take your shoes off anymore, which, all right, that's cool. But then you never know what's gonna happen when you actually get on the plane. Like, "Oh, we're having a bathroom problem. We're gonna sit here on the runway for, like, three hours." Or, "Ah, we gotta de-ice the plane about a million times, so we're not going anywhere." Or you have to deal with unruly passengers who, you know, may end up getting a flight canceled. I am happy to see that a passenger was fined $25,000 for their bad behavior on a flight. Let's keep it up. Let's, you know, go ahead and put signs all over the airport, "If you misbehave on the plane, you may face a fine of $25,000." Yeah, th- this was just, you know, your average unruly passenger. Kinda
escalated her behavior during the flight. Started kinda yelling at people. Then the crew's like, "Hey, you need to settle down." And then she ends up, uh, going into the bathroom and wouldn't come out, and then she started screaming and yelling and flipping people off. And
so, they, they went ahead and, you know, they, they dragged her out, but, you know, on top of, "Hey, you don't get to fly," 25,000 bucks. Ah.
I don't know if I've read of these kind of fines before, but I think it's great, 'cause anything that can make air travel better, less aggravating...[rock music] That's a good thing. So keep it in mind. Feel like getting stupid on a flight? You will pay. Nine Inch Nails and, um, As Alive As You Want Me To Be [laughs]. Sort of alive. Ugh, I wanna drink more coffee, but
I have a feeling it'll just make me feel terrible. Ugh. That's all right. It's all right. We shall survive. And, you know, I always seem to stumble across weird stuff when I'm kinda tired and out of it. How did I end up at thick-coins.net? [rock music] Now, this website, right out of the gate,
is weird because it looks like a website from, like, the '90s. Go, go check it out, thick-coins.net. Welcome to Theodore's Thick Coins. "Thicker coins for all." Uh, there's a guy named Theodore Nickels, and he, I guess, doesn't think that nickels are thick enough, so he wants to make thnickels,
and he's got pictures of the, uh, prototype thnickels in his hand. Um, you can pre-order a coin. But th- the thing is this website looks like it came from 30 years ago. So, I don't know if you wanna take the risk of pre-ordering one of his thnickels. Um...
Why is this website, uh, you know, cooking my brain so much here? [laughs] I mean, the guy's like, "Look how pathetically thin a regular nickel is. The thnickel is substantial and solid. There's much more coin per coin. Look at it." This is a just very strange website here. Okay. Updated back in October. It says, "His final, final batch of thnickels is being, uh, minted. Pre-orders are open." So it's not a website from the [laughs] ni- from the '90s, even if it looks like it. Says you can, uh, spread the word about the coins by printing out a flyer. It's got a, a picture of a printer 'cause, you know, everybody uses those nowadays. Okay. Thick-coins.net. Sorry if I... You wish you would've heard about this prior to Christmas. "Website proudly built with FrontPage 98." Yeah, it looks like it [laughs]. It really does. Okay. I gotta close that website. I'm too tired to look at that kinda thing. [rock music] Now, there's a band I would like to see some tour dates announced from, or some new music. I am talking about Tool. But,
who knows? You never know with those guys. There was some rumor on the Tool website, well, the Tool subreddit the other day. Some guy claimed, you know, he was on a flight back from, uh, hitting up some overseas Tool show. Happened to be sitting next to a member of the crew, who told him, "Yeah, guess what? The album's done, dude. It's gonna be out before you know it. Looking at a, you know, early 2026 release." Now, obviously, nobody believed this guy. All right? I being one of the people who also did not believe this guy. But wouldn't that be cool? Wouldn't it be cool? I mean, every once in a great while you see an online rumor that turns out to be true. But when it comes to Tool, like, I mean, uh, who honestly believes they're gonna put out music, uh, in the next few years? Wh- when did, uh, Fear Inoculum come out? It's been a while. It's been a while. Let's check it out here. Fear Inoculum released August 30th 2019. Seven years. Well, I think it took 'em 13 years for the last one, so... Yeah. I think my hopes on that one are gonna have to stay, uh, pretty low. But, I'll be pleasantly surprised if I'm wrong. [rock music] Sabaton, another band you can catch live in Salt Lake City here pretty soon, as a matter of fact. Get the details at riverbendmediagroup.com/calendar. Should be an awesome metal show. Maybe you saw 'em open for Judas Priest when they were here. Um, when was that? Was that last year? Time goes by so quickly. Sometimes it's, it's hard to tell. I mean, seems like it was just yesterday that I was talking about Chuck E. Cheese getting arrested in Florida, costumed up and all. Yeah, I was looking at the, uh, greatest hits of Florida Man of 2025. I think Chuck E. Cheese getting arrested was the, was the best one, right? That one s- seems to be the standout story. 'Cause looking through some of these other ones, I'm like, "I, I don't even know if I remember this one." You know? Uh, Smokey the Bear helping arrest somebody. Huh? [laughs] Some guy had stolen $1900 worth of Smokey Bear signs, and they've got a picture of Smokey the Bear, uh, helping stick a guy in a police vehicle. I don't know if that's from the actual event, but, you know, if you're gonna bust the, uh, guy stealing Smokey the Bear signs, might as well drag Smokey the Bear out to help you out with it.
Do you even see Smokey the Bear signs around here anymore?
It's kinda like the little green stickers we used to get that we could put on, uh, you know, bottles of cleaning fluid and things like that. Like, "Kids don't drink this." The, "Yuck." The little yuck stickers. I'm sure you can buy them on, on Amazon. But, uh, yeah. Yeah, I, I don't think we can beat Chuck E. Cheese getting arrested.
[rock music] 'Cause this website, this Florida CBS Channel 12's
best of, I, I don't know. It seemed like there's better Florida man news, like a guy stole a forklift and an ATM. Um, not very standout.
Chuck E. Cheese wins. [rock music] Well, I just found another good reason to only use public restrooms in the case of an emergency, might be dangerous. All right? You, you, you don't wanna end up having a toilet shattering when you sit down on it. Ugh, that's a terrible wound. Yeah, this guy in Florida, he is suing Outback Steakhouse after, I guess, he plopped down, you know, to do his business, and the toilet just
suddenly shattered, collapsed beneath him, causing him severe bodily injury. How old does a toilet have to be to just shatter like that? How large was this man? I don't know. But he's asking for 50 Gs. 50 Gs, which, I don't know, I mean, I've read about lawsuits where people ask for a lot more money. And honestly, I mean, if they were negligent,
and did not [laughs] you know, properly maintain their toilets, I'd say, you know, he probably owed some type of settlement.
This might be a time to call the Advocates Injury Attorneys. Ah.
You know, reckless decisions made by others, didn't take care of their toilet,
now you got shards of porcelain in your butt. Yeah, that's not a good day. That's when you call the Advocates Injury Attorneys. [laughs] All right, I know what my commercial for next week's gonna be.
[laughs] Anyway, speaking of the advocates, they power Traffic School, which happens every Friday morning, 8:45 AM. You should tune in this week and check it out, get some questions answered about the law, you know? Save yourself some time and money, or win some money arguing and betting your friends
about Idaho law. There you go, Traffic School, every Friday morning, 8:45 AM, right here on KBAR. [rock music] Well, Friday on Traffic School, powered by The Advocates Injury Attorneys, gonna have to ask Lieutenant Crane if, if this excuse would fly. There was a guy who stole some mandolins from a New Jersey music store. You know, they got the video showing him stuff them inside his jacket, and then he slips out of the store. Well, couple days later, he came back
and he returned the items with a note that said, "Sorry, I've been drunk. Merry Christmas, you are good man."
The article pretty much ends there. It doesn't say, "All right, the cops decided, due to his
apology letter, we're gonna go ahead and let this one slide." But I would imagine you're still gonna get in trouble. Sorry I've been drunk doesn't tend to get you out of much of anything. You know? [laughs]
I mean, you, you may have had to try to use that excuse before. "Sorry, I've been drunk." But generally, not gonna get a lot of sympathy for that. So, if I can find any other updates on this, let you know, but
we'll see what Lieutenant Crane says Friday during Traffic School and [laughs] don't steal, okay? Don't steal. But, you know, at least the guy, you know, had a change of heart and brought them back in. 'Cause, you know, everybody needs an awesome mandolin, right? That is one stringed instrument I do not have, but I don't even play my guitars enough as it is, so it's not like I need to pick up a mandolin. [rock music] Well, did you win the Idaho Lottery raffle? If so, oh, good for you. Listen! Yeah, last night, I happened to take a little break from cleaning house for a minute, and was scrolling on my phone, saw Nate Eaton from East Idaho News announce the winning numbers. So I had a, a few tickets. I don't know why I buy these. Every year when they do the raffle, I'm like, "Well, they, these are the best odds of winning. Might as well try to win $1 million." And then I win 0.0. I've never won anything on any Idaho Lottery [laughs] raffle ticket.
But a couple people did. Well, and actually, a lot of people did, 'cause they have other prizes as well, aside from the $1 million grand prize. But zero dollars of that going to me. Same thing that happened with the, uh, Powerball. Nothing. My, you know, girlfriend even bought me some lottery tickets for Christmas. Out of all of them, I did win $1, but I, I had a pretty good little pile of lottery tickets. Winning a dollar didn't really seem like, uh, m- much of a win. Oh well. A dollar is a dollar, right? A dollar is a dollar.
So anyway, if you, uh, had picked up one of those Idaho Lottery raffle tickets and hadn't checked your numbers yet, you can go to their website and punch them in.
I might, you know ... Did I throw them away last night? I can't remember. I would assume the website was updated with all of the numbers correctly. I'm always a little bit weird about, you know, punching them in. Like, did I, did I type them right?[rock music] Maybe I screwed something up. Maybe they hadn't updated them from last time. Maybe there's a way I still want... No, I'm sure I'm a loser, big, fat loser. So, congrats to you if you won some Dell. I'm gonna be back in a minute with some Freak News. Hang on, and don't go anywhere. [rock music] Man, and I thought HOAs sucked. [laughs] No, don't move to Florida, where if you, you know, park in your own driveway and your tires touch the grass,
you could rack up fines of, mm, $165,000. Yeah. This, uh, woman in Lantana, Florida, I guess [laughs] lost her fight against the Florida Supreme Court
for parking in her own driveway, but racking up, yeah, $165,000 in fines, 100,000 of it for parking cars on her own driveway, where two tires occasionally rested on her own lawn. Yeah, now they charged her for some other stuff like cracks in her driveway, storm-damaged fence.
What's going... Uh, what are they doing in Florida? Is this everywhere in Florida,
where they have these type of, uh, you know, enforcement policies for how your yard looks? Can you imagine if around here, you got charged for cracks in your driveway?
Yeah, I thought Flo- Florida was one of the, uh, lands of freedom. Apparently, not when it comes to parking on your own lawn. I mean, I got neighbors that have, like, multiple vehicles just right on their lawn, not just tires touching. No, just a, a, a regular old fleet covering their lawn. Holy cow. All right. Well, yet another reason to not move to Florida. Yikes. [rock music] Well, last night, I stayed up late 'cause I had a ton of stuff I needed to get done around the house. Didn't end up getting proper sleep, which, you know, I think it's built up over a few days and making my brain feel all just crazy. And now, I seem to be just stumbling across unpleasant stories, getting me all sketched out, like, "Ugh! Can it just stop?"
And I'm like, "Why? Why am I having a weird pain? What's wrong with me? Why!" All right.
Well, I didn't drink a celebrity chef's liquid nitrogen cocktail and rupture my stomach. Yeah, um, this guy almost died. This was, uh, in Russia.
They were at the, uh, Game of Tables Culinary Studio, and they had some kinda celebrity chef. They say he's unnamed, and he was mixing these cocktails chilled with liquored, liquid nitrogen. And you're not supposed to drink this, all right? I guess he uses it to, uh, rapidly cool the drinks, gives it a dramatic fog effect. But then, this guy, he j- he just drank it, and then, uh, ruptured his stomach. Ugh. Immediate hospital- hospitalization, narrowly avoiding, uh, death.
I tell you, man, booze can be dangerous stuff. Be careful, people. New Year's tomorrow. Drink responsibly. Get proper rest. You know, you could have, uh, problems with sleep due to the way you sleep. It might not be simply you didn't go to bed when you should, or maybe you forgot to put the CPAP on 'cause you're an idiot. Um,
maybe you need to try the Scandinavian Sleep Method. And you know, this sounds like something that might be scientific or, I don't know, a big deal or something, but it's just basically use your own blanket. Do you fight over the blanket? Maybe you need your own blanket. There you go [laughs]. That's the end of it. See, the computer is mocking me by throwing these kinda stories at me. Like, "Hey, you wanna talk and think about sleep, dude? Check this out. Scandinavian Sleep Method." Like, I, I don't give a crap about this. I don't have a problem once I actually get to sleep. I'm out. I'm out cold [laughs].
Stupid chores. Ugh. Well, I'm closing that tab. Okay, here's another unpleasant story. "Cause of death revealed for thrill seeker who fell from Spain's tallest bridge after telling friend he felt sick."
Cause of death revealed? The guy fell from a 630-foot bridge. What do you think the cause of death was? Yeah, he, he hit the ground, 'kay? They called it, "Blunt force head injuries as well as an uncontrolled descent from height," and there's an actual news article about this. I mean, it, it's sad. He was one of these, uh, free climber guys. Ugh.
Free climbing, another thing that, that makes me just uncomfortable to even think about. What's the name of that documentary about that one free climber? Let us Google this up. You wanna watch something that'll make you crawl out of your skin?
Free Solo, that's what it's called, Free Solo. Yeah, you wanna make yourself feel really unpleasant? Watch Free Solo. If you're not into heights, ugh. So, anyway, uh, RIP to the, the guy who fell off the bridge. That sucks.
[instrumental music] And then I was pulling up all these articles about, uh, AI chatbots triggering psychosis. Well, I haven't opened ChatGPT today. Don't talk to ChatGPT as if it's a person. I think that's all you've gotta do to avoid, um, AI chatbot triggered psychosis. Don't, like, actually chat with it. Don't treat it as if it's real. 'Cause it- it's doing some weird stuff to people, especially young people, okay? So d- just be careful when it, when it comes to AI, all right? We want everybody to end up being okay. Yikes. Okay. I'm gonna try to s- find, uh, some sunshine and rainbows to talk about. [rock music] Well, if you're a gamer, this might be of interest to you, or if you're a fan of Phoenix and you're looking for a unique place to stay, they're building the world's first Atari hotel.
All right? Probably about, uh, 40 some odd years too late on this one, but hey, it looks cool to me from the artist renderings here. Looks pretty wild. The outside kinda looks like, um, like Tetris. Lots of neon. Um, and then the inside, I mean, it's, uh, just futuristic and crazy. Yeah, they say the exterior of the building will look like patterns of pixel grids while the interior lights will look like arcade circuitry. And then you got Atari's trademark red logo incorporated all over the place, and they say it's, you know, gonna have concert and esports venues, uh, retail space and restaurant space. Kinda drawing inspiration from movies like Tron and Blade Runner. Uh, it looks pretty awesome. They're supposed to, uh, start building it in 2026, hopefully open in 2028.
I'll have to go stay there long as I'm around in 2028. [laughs] Uh, the world's first playable hotel and they don't really get into, uh, what, what that means. The first truly playable hotel.
Well, it better be awesome and they better have better video games than Atari. [laughs] When's the last time you played an Atari? Huh? Yeah, you know, it's, it's one of those things people get nostalgic about, but you go back and you play it and you're like, "Uh,
I don't know. I got a PlayStation 5. It's pretty sweet." Red Dead or Tank, what do you wanna play? Yeah. Not a very hard choice. [rock music] Well, you know, a question that it's never occurred to ask Lieutenant Crane on Traffic School powered by The Advocates is, is it legal to sell your baby? I think most people would assume the answer to that question is gonna be no. Uh, this couple found out, at least where they live, the answer was no. They were out camping
and they go up to this guy
and they're like, "You got any beer?" And he's like, "Yeah, I got some beer." And they're like, "Well, we'll, uh, we'll sell you our baby for a six pack of beer." Can you imagine, you're just, you're just out camping and this couple comes up to you and they have an actual contract. They have an actual contract saying, "I, Darian Urban and Shalene Ellers are signing our rights over to," and then you fill in your name. "Of our baby boy
for..." Oh, they... Here now they ask for a thousand bucks, but I guess the guy was like, "I, I don't have that." "All right, well how, how about a six pack?" Jeez. [laughs] Thankfully this guy called up the cops. Um,
what is wrong with some people? Some people should definitely not have children. And I, I mean, I think baby... That- that'd be worth more than a six pack, right? I mean, you should just
raise and keep your children, all right? What was the charge? They were, uh, charged with, uh, attempted accepting compensation for adoption. So yeah, I, I take that to mean you, you can't sell your baby, but maybe I'll try to remember to ask Lieutenant Crane about that on Friday with Traffic School powered by The Advocates Injury Attorneys. If you've ever had any questions about the law,
even if it's something that ridiculous, you can ask those kinda questions on that show, all right? So join us live on Friday. Take part. It's fun. [laughs] I mean, the question right there is kinda dark, but, but still. You know, we, we wanna hear your questions, wacky as they might be.
