The Viktor Wilt Show

In today’s episode of The Victor Wilt Show, we descend into a full-blown Monday-shaped fever dream where Viktor — half-alive, half-coffee, and fully spiritually concussed from Thanksgiving flu rot — tries to claw his way through reality while ranting about bed-and-breakfast nightmares, time-traveling to the filth-soaked 1800s, and people willingly getting beach sand involved in… activities, all while the universe pelts him with $9 Vegas toothpaste PTSD. He recounts YouTube binge sessions about casino scams engineered by feral geniuses with pocket gizmos from the cursed 1980s, then abruptly launches into a prophetic monologue about tourist-draining doom spirals in Vegas, the rise of the Texas Anthrax Triangle™, and toilet bears ripping citizens apart in Japan like a real-time survival horror DLC. Meanwhile, he is plagued by apocalyptic insomnia dreams where he walks from Idaho Falls to Pokey through abandoned houses full of emotional debris and forbidden knickknacks while gas stations price-gouge him for ruby red Squirt like it’s black-market plutonium. Then Peaches arrives and the show mutates further: lost geckos, speaker mountains, the Wall of Sound that shattered his spine, a present that took four hours to wrap because physics is a lie, and a pigeon tattoo that somehow becomes a spiritual event. From there, the episode swan-dives into firefighters in Florida who “hazed” a new guy by pantsing, whipping, robbing, dragging, and waterboarding him — and Viktor cheerfully notes that at least he hasn’t been waterboarded today, so things are looking up. He then spirals through rock news, Poppy vs. Evanescence social-media warfare, a catastrophic schedule of concerts he cannot afford unless he wins the cosmic lottery, and Yellowstone spinoffs multiplying like unattended sourdough. But nothing compares to the moment he reads about a caller who found a dead body and, instead of contacting the police, phoned a morning show to chit-chat about it — prompting Viktor to beg listeners to never, EVER call him with corpses unless it concerns Lieutenant Crain. The episode ends with a chaotic sermon on bouncy houses taking flight Wizard-of-Oz style, Cyber Monday shame, gecko heists at midnight, and Viktor trudging toward the dreaded Monday meeting like a man walking into his own execution while blasting Closer and wondering why the lights can’t just be as dark as his soul. In short: an absolute carnival of flu haze, dream logic, feral wildlife, questionable humanity, retail trauma, and the inescapable horror that it is, in fact, Monday.

What is The Viktor Wilt Show?

The Viktor Wilt Show daily recap! If you miss the show weekdays from 6A-10A MST, you've come to the right place.

[rock music] Ew, for a Monday after a holiday weekend, yuck. How's it going? It's the Victor Wilt Show. Morning to ya. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving with your family and friends. Uh, if you were listening Friday, you know, I was here. Showed up to work Friday and... Yeah, the, uh, Thanksgiving holiday not my favorite one I've ever had, since wasn't feeling good. But made do. We were able to make a dinner. We were able to have a good time. Even got some chores done this weekend. Woo-hoo. Yeah. Party, party. Uh, got a little bit of Christmas decorating done. Trying to get my place in decent order for the kids coming to visit this week, so that'll be fun. Haven't seen them in a while. Pretty excited. Other than that, I don't know what we got going on around here. I- I don't think we have anything, uh, special happening this week, but hopefully, with it being a, you know, post-holiday weekend, we got some silly news and things. Maybe some, uh, Black Friday mayhem. You know, hopefully something fun to talk about. I know the, uh, Black Friday riots are not what they used, used to be. You know, I think a lot of people do their shopping online now, so yeah. I- I need to do a little bit of that as well. Just get 'er done. Gotta do Christmas early this year, but should be fun, so... That's where I'm at this morning. Digging for crap to share with you. Help us crush down Monday, get through it and... I don't know. That- that's where I'm at. That's what I got. [rock music] Well, hello, it's the Victor Wilt Show. It is Monday and it definitely feels like a Monday. Hope it goes by quick for you. Hope it's a good one. All right. [metal music] What do we got for content? Things people romanticize that are actually horrible. All right. We can take a look at this, might as well. Owning and operating a bed and breakfast. Do people actually romanticize that? That sounds terrible. Bah. You've got your house

and you always have people in it. That sounds just horrific to me. You know? [laughs] And not just people, but strangers. In your house. Eh, ugh. Again, I- I don't know if people actually romanticize that. All you gotta do is think about it for like five seconds and it's like, no, that would not be cool. What? You gotta make 'em breakfast? Yeah. You're working at home, 24/7, ugh, doing somebody else's, uh, dirty laundry. Ugh. This does not sound cool to me. Yep. I'm gonna go with, uh, that is actually horrible. All right. Living any time in the past that didn't have running water or toilet paper. Yeah. Um,

if you aren't grateful for modern technology... [laughs] I wish I lived in the 1800s. Oh. Just play some Red Dead, all right? You wanna play, uh, fantasy? You know, living in the past? There's, there's video games. You can do it that way. Yeah, imagine not having TP. Now, I guess you could... You know, there, there's ways to get yourself clean, but still. Running water. There are people on this planet, lots of people, who still don't have running water right now. Be grateful for what we got. Okay, here. Uh. Oh, getting busy on the beach or in places like hot tubs. Yeah, um... Okay. Well, let's just move on. Uh, let's see here. Breakups and makeups. Do people romanticize that? What?

I don't know, there are people commenting like, "People confuse drama and toxicity with passion." Yeah. Um, if you're constantly breaking up with somebody and getting back together, eventually you just gotta go, "All right. Enough's enough." And, you know, just move, move on. Find somebody new. If you romanticize that activity, then yeah. That's a lot of stress. Let's see here. Somebody's saying, "Being married to a celebrity." Well, you know, if- if you could lay low it wouldn't be too bad, but... Yeah, anytime you go out in public, you're gonna be, you know, having people take pictures of ya. You're gonna be bothered. Probably wouldn't be that great. Let's see, overworking, hustle culture. Yeah, you know, you gotta relax a li- little bit here and there. Trust me. If I could, I'd go take a nap right now. That's a great thing to do on a Monday. Oh, let's see here. People romanticizing war. Yeah, mm-hmm. Talk to anyone who's been in a war, okay? You wanna watch historical documentaries and stuff, fine. But, uh, war is horrible. All right. This thread is kinda horrible. It's just getting kind of, uh, dark the further I go down. Was hoping it would be fun. Can't rely on the internet for fun. So I guess we'll take a little break and then, yeah, we'll see what other kinda garbage content I can find for this program. [rock music] It always amazes me in the modern age when people manage to scam a casino. [laughs] Like, with all the technology that's out now, you- you'd think there's, there's just no way. But apparently people still get away with it. Uh, this story was out of Australia. Apparently a couple from Kazakhstan, you know, they used like hidden cameras, all kinds of stuff, managed to win themselves over a million bucks. And, you know, winning made the casino suspicious. [laughs] That's how these stories always begin.[instrumental music] Like, th- you know, somebody won money, and the casino's like, "What's going on here?" [laughs] People aren't supposed to win. So, yeah, they got busted. They'll, you know, be facing some pretty serious time. I've watched a number of documentaries recently about people ripping off casinos in Vegas. I don't know why. Just pops up on YouTube, and I'm like, "Okay, that'll do. That'll kill a little bit of time while I sit here accomplishing nothing." And, uh, you know, back in the day, a lot easier to scam a casino. I mean, you, you shouldn't try to do that. The, the people who get busted for this, like I said, go to jail for a really long time. But these documentaries on YouTube can be pretty, pretty interesting. I watched one about a guy who scammed slot machines, and you would think that's something that would be almost impossible, but especially back in the '80s and such, he'd make these little devices that would, like, just make the coins just dump out or, you know, then as the machines got more advanced, this guy, he would buy the new model machine, break it all down, figure out how to bypass the systems. Um, and, you know, basically was just, uh, able to get these slot machines to just dump money or, you know, give 'em free credits and things like that. So, he'd sit there and just gamble 'til he'd won, and, uh, ultimately ended up getting busted 'cause he was selling these devices to, you know, other people, and people start getting caught. And of course, somebody's gonna snitch eventually. But, um, yeah. I, I don't recommend trying to scam a casino. All right [laughs]? Not in 2025. Even, uh, I mean, these folks, they got away with it at first, but again, if you win money, the casino is going to investigate you [laughs] 'cause the house always has the edge. So glad that gambling isn't a thing I'm into. Yeah. I lose five bucks, I'm furious. Just, just angry. Can't lose a penny or I get very frustrated. So, don't have to worry about me, uh, cruising down to Vegas and losing a bunch of dough, that's for sure. All right. It's almost seven o'clock already. Hopefully, the rest of the day goes by quickly. All right? Had it with Monday already, and nothing's even happened. It's just Monday. [rock music] Ugh. Monday just sucks, doesn't it? [laughs] It's just so lame. Mondays. Boo. Well, other things that suck, let's see. I was looking through the news, and there was an investigative report out of Vegas where the news went around to see how much bottled water costs at a variety of places. Uh, upwards of $9. Yeah, that'll get the, uh, tourists coming back in, guys. I don't know if you've seen all of the news stories recently about problems in Vegas, tourism going way down. Yeah, maybe start with the bottled water. You know, if you've never been to Vegas, here's a tip for you. Don't buy anything inside of the casinos. All right? What you need to do

is just walk the strip a little bit, find yourself a Walgreens or a CVS. All right? Go in there and get any items you need, 'cause they're regular grocery store prices. Same crap. You can spend, you know, potentially $9 on a bottle of Aqua Vi- Aquafina, you know? The cheap bottled water. Buy it for a dollar, you know? Times are tough. Gotta save every penny you can in this day and age. Who on Earth is spending $9 on a bottle of water? I was furious the last time I went to Vegas 'cause I forgot my toothpaste, and I woke up in the morning, and I really needed to brush my teeth. All right? I was not in the mood to walk all the way to CVS, so I was like, "All right. Casino gift shop it is." $9. All right? M- that must be a popular price for items there 'cause it was $9

for a tiny little cruddy tube of just crappy toothpaste, but they know for those kind of es- essential items, you're gonna pay it. Yeah, um, might wanna wait a bit before visiting Vegas. I think we're gonna start seeing, um, room prices and all kinds of things just plummet 'cause, I don't know, if your YouTube feed looks like mine, for whatever reason, I got these Vegas videos popping up all the time. "The town's dying." Oh, no! And, um, they're gonna have to lower some prices if you wanna get people to come visit. All right? It's just too expensive. It used to be so cheap to go to Vegas. You could get yourself like a d- a nice room for basically nothing,

and then, you know, they had cheap food. I don't know what's going on there. They, they've lost track of what made people go there. The price, that was it. It was a cheap place where you could have fun. Now, I guess it's just rich people who will spend $9 on a bottle of water. You know [laughs]? I think bringing people in is the way to make profit, not just jacking up the price of everything. Ugh. Well, I don't have any PTO anyway. I'm not going on vacation anytime soon. Thank you, the flu, for eating up all of my time off. Hopefully, I don't end up not feeling well again soon 'cause, uh, I don't know what I'm gonna do. Anyhow, let's take a quick break. We'll be back with more crap on this show here in a few. [rock music] Well, if your Facebook feed looks like mine, I'm sure you're sick of hearing about the election tomorrow, but it's over after tomorrow, so make sure you get out and vote tomorrow. I intended to get out and vote early, but then I got the flu and, uh, did not make it to the local elections office so I could, uh, get it out of the way, so...We're gonna have to make sure to get 'er done tomorrow, and then at least everybody will shut up about it for a while, right? Hopefully! And I know, I've- I've even chimed in myself a few times, but just wanna remind you, tomorrow's election day, the run-off election. There's one going down in Idaho Falls, one going down in Pokey. Get out, vote for mayor, let's get it over with, and, uh, then we can move on with our lives. So, yeah, don't forget to get out and vote. [rock music] Monday, post holiday edition, ugh! Hope you're survivin' okay. Sorry you gotta be up right now. Nobody wants to. All right, let's see here. Somebody asking for advice online, asking if they're a jerk for telling their mother-in-law they're never moving to Virginia. You should be able to live where you want. Don't let other people dictate your life, okay? You know, you don't wanna live somewhere, you don't have to. I mean, I- I could go through this whole post, but... It's just kind of amazing, the things people have to put up with from their parents or family, sometimes. It's like, just me- mellow out a little bit here. [laughs] Thi- this person's mother-in-law is kinda crazy, so... If you have a mother-in-law that is not crazy, uh, I'd be grateful for that. Well, and again, you be you. Do what you wanna do. Don't let anybody force you to live somewhere you don't want to. I don't know much about Virginia, but, you know, from what I've seen of that region, you know, or that area of the country, the East Coast,

just too packed. There are no wide open spaces. Sometimes I need to be able to just get away from people. You know, you get fed up with people and you just need a break, so you go out in the middle of nowhere. You can't do that in that region [laughs]. There's just town after town after town. And, for the most part, uh, not a lot of mountains out in that area, and I- I think mountains are pretty cool, myself. All right, as you can tell, light news day so far. Just trying to get through the day, people, all right? I'm, I'm very sleepy. I was having weird dreams

and they just kept waking me up all night. Dreams where I was just walking. Just walking, I think I was trying to walk from like Idaho Falls to Pokey for some reason, and I kept ending up in these abandoned houses, but they had like stuff in 'em. And, uh, so I'm like digging through peoples' things and then I got thirsty and I stopped at a gas station that was on a hill, doesn't really exist. But it was like $9 for a soda, like Vegas water prices. But I really wanted a ruby red Squirt, sounded really good. So then I woke up craving one of those today. Went to a real gas station, they did not have that. So, that was a disappointment. There you go, that's been my morning so far. Need a nap and, uh, I- I did just get myself something else to drink. It's- it's fine. It's fine! But, weird dreams. Weird dreams and, uh, I- I don't know. It felt very awkward to be rooting through peoples' things in these dreams. And, uh, like... A- all right, I'm- I'm not gonna get into it. Anyway, I- I- it wasn't anything like creepy or anything. You're just like reading their notes and things like that and... I don't know. It was unsettling and kept waking me up. It was a very annoying night of rest. Try again tonight, you know? Go to bed early and hope tomorrow's better [laughs]. Ugh! Okay, maybe I'll get more coffee. We'll be back with some freak news here in a few, okay? Hang on. [rock music] Okay, in news that is not surprising at all, fewer people are moving. Yeah, no kidding [laughs]. Why- why even do a news report about it? I- I'm pretty sure we know why, right? Them prices. Yeah. Ugh, grateful I don't need to move right now. Plus, it's a terrible time of year to move. Wintertime? Ugh! I mean, summer can suck if it's like really hot outside, but... You- you can escape it by doing some stuff when it cools down in the evening. Winter? It just sucks the whole time. Ugh! Anyway, close that tab because, yeah, no kidding. All right, what else do we have here? All right, this one's kinda messed up. So there's this woman... Let's see, this is over in the UK, and i- it's a sad story. Her husband was trampled to death by, um, like a stampede. A cattle stampede. And now they're building a new roundabout next to her house, and they've been trying to figure out, "Where are we gonna put this big statue of a bull?" Hmm, well, duh! Right in the middle of the roundabout [laughs], you know?

I- it seems kinda rude. You know, the woman's husband

just killed by a bull, and then, "Hey! How would you like to drive by this big bull every single day? Here ya go." Um, I don't know [laughs]. Perhaps it's her husband, you know? He- he- he put this idea from beyond the grave into the heads of the local council like, "This'll be, you know, kinda funny." Maybe he's got a- a terrible sense of humor. I don't know [laughs]. Uh, speaking of animals... All right, we've talked about feral hogs. You know, they're starting to spread across the whole country and, you know, they wreak havoc and devastation everywhere they go? Well now, they're worried that, uh, feral hogs in Texas could be carrying anthrax. Ugh![heavy metal music plays] You've got, uh, wild anthrax feral hogs just runnin' amuck. Yet another reason to not move to Texas. Um, [laughs] anthrax pigs. What's goin' on in the world? You know, there was another story I pulled up earlier about a, a guy gettin' attacked by a bear in a toilet in Japan. Yeah, he's just, you know, trying to go about his business. Next thing you know, you're gettin' ripped, ripped apart by a bear. Th- th- that's gotta be unpleasant. The animals, man. They're gettin' out of control. Anthrax pigs. Well, thankfully Texas is pretty far away. No, we don't need to be dealin' with that kinda crap around here. And at least we haven't been having any, any major bear attacks around here that I've seen recently. Ha- have we? Uh, sorry if I missed that in the news and, you know, somebody listening had a friend or family member attacked by a bear. I, I just point these stories out because there are bear attacks just poppin' up like crazy. All over the world, bears are fed up with people. Animals in general. So, uh, yeah, if you're visiting Texas soon, you see any wild hogs, stay away from 'em. Anthrax, it's not good for people, all right? Yeah, they're calling it the Texas Anthrax Triangle, [laughs] this certain region. Doesn't sound like a great vacation destination to me, but that's just me.

All right. Could the day move by any slower? I'm sure it could. W- we'll, we'll power through this together somehow, people. [heavy metal music plays] Ah, speaking of monsters, let's talk about some lousy coworkers. Ah, it's Monday, you might be heading into the office or whatever, and maybe you got some people that aggravate you at the workplace. Well, they could be worse. Firefighters from Ocala, Florida, got a number of 'em that have been arrested on charges of kidnapping, robbery, and battery. Yeah, apparently [laughs], they were hazing a new firefighter. Eh, I think this went a little bit beyond, uh, hazing. So they, they chased the victim into the parking lot, uh, took off his pants and started just smacking him with a belt. Then they stole his phone. Uh, then they, uh, took more of his clothes off, dragged him across the parking lot, and then, uh, waterboarded him for good measure. And, uh, yeah, I guess, uh [laughs], they were just doin' it because, uh, well, they wanted to

haze him a bit. He's the new guy on the job. Jeez. All right. You know, I, I might be tired this morning. It's Monday, maybe a little grumpy, but

I haven't been waterboarded yet today, so you know, the work day, even though it's going by slow, it, it could be worse. Could be worse, so we're doing good. Doin' pretty well so far. [heavy metal music plays] Mornin', Peaches.

Good morning.

How are you doing today?

A lot better than last week, for sure.

Oh, last week sucked. Last week was not very fantastic, that's for sure. Were you feelin' okay by Thanksgiving?

Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. I was doing pretty well and then Becca got sick, so yeah, Thanksgiving just cooped up at my house. It was a very, uh ... We, we made a meal, you know? Were able to have some food, but it was kind of a last minute, uh, thrown together thing, and yeah. Then, uh, just been trying to work on the house all weekend.

I, I still barely want any food whatsoever.

Dude, me either. I, uh, made a nice big Thanksgiving plate and, uh, maybe ate half of it. Uh, all weekend I couldn't hardly eat. Um, no appetite. This morning, I was like, "All right. I'm gonna get a breakfast burrito." Then I got about half of it down and was like, "Okay, that's enough of that." But did you have a good holiday weekend?

Yeah. No, I, I wish I wasn't sick the whole time, but yeah.

Yeah.

Other than that, it was, it was good.

All right. Well, good to hear, and thank you for helping me move some crap yesterday. Um, I didn't realize how much stuff I moved till this morning. I woke up, I'm like, "Oh, why am I all sore?" And then I remembered, uh, the, the wall of sound. Um, you know, I had, uh, dismantled most of it by the time you got over, but lots of speakers. And up and down the stairs of my studio is a disaster. You can't hardly walk in there now, but, uh, I will be able to, uh, clean the floors - cats are disgusting - and then, uh, put up the Christmas tree this week 'cause got the kids coming. So, yeah.

Okay, nice.

Gonna be a busy week. Busy week. Christmas is coming early, so I got one Christmas tree up yesterday.

I saw, it looked great.

And, uh, since I have the tree with the weird lights, uh, we figured we'd put that up in the kitchen or dining room, I guess I should say. And then, uh, put the other one in the living room where the wall of speakers once, once lived. You know, the, uh, bachelor pad's out now, Peaches. Um, gotta make it look like a normal living room again.

Ah.

So, yep. Haven't seen those windows in a long time [laughs].

Those dang women.

[laughs] Those dang women. How dare they? No, no. It'll be good, uh, but oh, I'm so tired today. So tired. Did not sleep well last night. Weird dreams. Uh-

Are you, are you gonna start wearing that shirt that says "I hate my wife" [laughs]?

No! [laughs] But Becca woke me up, I think, at like midnight, 'cause her daughter was freaking out. Thought that the, uh, gecko had escaped, and I'm like, there, there's no way that the lizard could escape the cage. That ... It just can't. So I, you know, I dragged myself upstairs and I'm like, "Where is it?" [laughs] You know? 'Cause the cage is pretty sparse right now while it's a baby. You know, you don't put a bunch of crap in there yet. He had crawled under the paper towels on the bo- And he's so small, you know, you couldn't really tell. It looked like he just vanished, but managed to find him. Who's out there? Who's creeping?

The Maddie kid.

Maddie. Oh wow, look at that, now.[rock music] Does that start this week?

Yeah.

Oh!

This Friday.

Oh, it starts on Friday.

Starts on Friday.

Okay. Maddie just brought in a present and I can't figure out what it could be. [laughs].

We still got this, always.

Yeah, you grab that mic there. Yeah, it's hard to tell what that could be.

I know, right? Like, I, I just can't quite put my finger on it. It's so weird.

Who wrapped it?

Me, I did.

How long did that take?

Four hours.

Holy crap. I-

Well, 'cause you can't flip it upside down and then it's impossible for, you know, wrap something if you can't flip it upside down, so I was, like, sneaking under it like a mechanic and just like-

We could have just put it in a box

... creepingy.

What's funny is that, like, we-

Where's the Join Whimsy?

On fr- on the promo, we're, we're telling people what it is, but it's wrapped up like it's a present.

Y- y- that must ... Yeah, I'm, I'm not surprised that took four hours. I would've just put it in a box.

Yeah. Yeah, well, we ... I took pictures of it so we could use it for the promotional graphics, so-

It'll look good

... I was committed to the bit.

I like the, uh, Kay Bear Advocates wrapping paper.

Right? Isn't that cute?

I'm sure, sure Ben's really gonna enjoy that. That-

Just don't look at the back.

Oh, [laughs] okay. [laughs] The back is not wrapped.

[laughs] It's all right, we'll just turn it back around. [laughs]

Hey, it looks good from that side.

All right.

Looks great. You did a very nice job.

Thank you. I thought I'd drop it off, 'cause I don't-

All right

... want to break it.

Did you get your tattoo sleeve, by the way?

Huh? Yeah, I got my pigeon.

Let's see.

She got a g- giant tattoo sleeve.

Let's see som- Let's check it out here.

Boom.

Pigeon.

Nice.

I thought it was going to c- cover your whole arm.

Um, I'm too much of a wuss for that, and also, I don't have the money for that.

Tattoos be expensive-

They are

... bitches. Be very expensive. Where'd you get that done?

Um, some guy named Cayden Saxton at Intrusive Ink. Um-

Okay

... would recommend, he's pretty light-handed, so ...

Very nice. Very nice.

And he puckered a couple times.

[laughs]

[laughs] So ... [laughs]

I, I, when I got this one done, I was a wuss. Like, right, you know how-

Oh, that spot, ooh! Ooh!

Well, and you know how, like, after about 15 minutes you start kinda, you know, getting used to it-

Right

... and it doesn't hurt as bad? Right when that started happening, it was just done. So-

Aw

... it was like the world's quickest tattoo. Just an- just a little bit of pa- I was, I was a wuss. I was with my daughter, Maddie, and Becca.

You gotta keep a strong face. Gotta keep a strong face.

Yeah. They were both totally tough. Me, I'm like, "Eeh! Aw! Aw!"

[laughs] That spot is tough. That spot is really tough.

Yeah. Yeah, it was surprisingly brutal.

It's like when you get-

So-

... like, to the underside of your arm, especially right here, that's when it gets really-

Yeah

... sensitive and itches like crazy.

Mm-hmm.

So ... Uh-

Well, one of these days-

One of these days

... I'll- I'll get myself sleeved down. But-

It's all right. Good things come in time, Victor. Good things come in time.

Yeah, I need to win the lottery. That- that-

You and your bulls.

That's how I am able to afford tattoos. Win the lotto.

Yep.

Until then-

Or start a GoFundMe.

Is that, uh, appropriate? "Hey, everybody, I wanna get tattooed. Give me money."

Who's to say? [laughs]

[laughs] I mean, it's worth a try.

I wro- I would say so.

I need the ink therapy.

Guys, please.

[laughs]

It's for mental b-

It's even worse if you, if you, like, fake some sort of s-, uh, like, sob story, you know?

Oh, yeah, to be one of those people?

Yeah, yeah.

Oh.

Make up a, a medical, uh, lie.

"I was sick for the past week."

[laughs]

I have no tattoo-itis. It's fatal.

Yes. I- it cures the flu. [laughs]

[laughs]

My chest still feels-

Guys-

... uncomfortable from being sick.

Please.

Uh, well, congrats on your tattoo. Nice job-

Thanks, dawg

... on the, uh, wrapping job on the present.

Thank you.

And I think the listeners are gonna be, uh, pretty stoked for that prize.

I just finished the promo for it just now.

Nice.

So ...

Nice. It's, uh, it's a good one. It's a good one. One of our, uh, top tier items in that, uh, category of items. That's the hint-

Three

... everybody. So ... All right. Let's, uh ... Well, I guess it's, uh, late enough, I can just dump these songs out and go to break. That's what we need to do. Bye-bye. [rock music] Uh, don't you miss Ozzy? Hopefully we'll get lucky and there will be some unreleased music that ends up coming out. That'd be pretty sweet. Uh, what's going on in the world of rock news this morning: Evanescence announced a big tour with Spiritbox, Poppy, K. Flay, and Nova Twins. Uh, the tour is gonna be hitting up the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater on July 25th. Only bummer thing about this is that the portion that has Poppy,

that's all gonna be overseas in the UK. I mean, Spiritbox is great live, don't get me wrong, but

I like Poppy the, the best of all. I actually, uh, [laughs] just made a snide comment on somebody's post. They were, uh, trashing Poppy, and I was like, "Well, Poppy's better than Evanescence." "Oh, yeah? What planet?" But I don't know why I get in these, uh, little disputes on social media. But you know me, I'm a, I'm a big Poppy fan. So, hopefully that means that Poppy will be doing a different tour and will be coming somewhere close. That'd be awesome. Lots of great shows that have been announced for the beginning of the year. I gotta start making some plans here, get this all figured out. I need to win the lotto so I can afford lots of hotel rooms. And for- My personal list, if you wanna talk about the shows I wanna go to, we got, uh, Ghost, February 10th, Delta Center. Then, a couple weeks later, Bad Omens with Beartooth and President, same venue. Then you've got ... Let's see here. What else did I personally wanna go to? Nine Inch Nails, [gasps] Delta Center yet again, March 13th. I mean, I, I'm skipping over a bunch of shows here. I'm just talking about my personal list, all right? Let's see here. Puscifer, May 5th at the Maverick Center. Oh, Electric Callboy about a week before that at the Union Event Center. There, there, there's five shows. Holy cow. I'm gonna need to, uh

... I'm gonna need to win that lottery. That's what I'm gonna do. And I'm sure we're gonna get more shows, uh, announced just, uh, frequently as we roll into the beginning of the year, so ...[heavy metal music] You wanna find out... Oh, yeah, Lamb of God, that'd be a really good show. Lamb of God with Kublakan, Fit for an Autopsy, and Sanguisugabog, that'll be brutal. Uh, too many good shows, not enough money. You know, I'm sure you understand, it's difficult, but I'm gonna do my best to hit all of 'em. [heavy metal music] Yay, it's Monday. Can you hear the, [graphics popping] you know, genuine excitement in my voice?

So pumped to be at work. Yeah!

Okay. I was scrolling Reddit, and how many of these Yellowstone TV shows are there at this point? You know, we had Yellowstone, we had 1883, then there was like... I don't remember the dates, 1924. Now, there's a new one called The Madison, and I guess locals are getting very concerned because up in Ennis, yeah, they're, they're filming like crazy. And they're worried, I, I don't know, tourists are just gonna start rolling in kinda like they did for Yellowstone, which was filmed in like the Bozeman and, uh... Why can't I think of the name of that city? What's wrong with me? Oh, yeah, I'm tired. [laughs] Yeah, you know, Missoula, that's what I was looking for, those areas. I mean,

for these small towns, you would think a little bit of, uh, boom in tourism is not a bad thing, but I don't know. I don't live there. Been through there many times. We, we drove through, uh, Ennis not that long ago, as a matter of fact, if I recall correct. But... Yeah, we did, I think, on the way to Bozeman? I, I don't know. My brain hurts today, as does other parts of me. Need to, uh, start exercising more, I think. Carrying about 10 billion speakers up and down the stairs yesterday did a number on me. Just want a nap. Maybe I'll kick back and watch The Madison.

Wow!

Uh, looked like they were filming season two, and I can't keep track of all these Yellowstone shows. There was supposed to be one down in Texas. Um, I don't know, I never even watched the final season of Yellowstone. For me, that show kinda went off the rails. Started off really strong and just kinda went downhill as it went along. And by the final season, I was just kinda like, "Uh, who cares?" I really liked 1883, though. I thought that was really, really good. One good, solid season, and it was over. Sometimes that's what some of these shows need to do, just wrap it up. Thankfully, I've been watching pretty good stuff overall recently. Enjoying Welcome to Derry, seen a, a few episodes of that, seems pretty good. Been rewatching Better Call Saul. That's always fantastic. I don't even wanna think about that right now. If I could do anything right now, it would be sit on my couch and watch Better Call Saul. All right, I'm gonna stop complaining, drink more of this second cup of coffee I made. Hopefully, I can get pumped up for the Monday morning meeting. Ugh! It's all bright in there. Can they turn the lights down? Why can't everybody keep everything dark like me? All right, I'll find something else to talk about. Anyway, if you wanna check out another Yellowstone show, there's one called The Madison. I don't know anything about it. I'm guessing some of the same, same topics

that they have on Yellowstone. "Oh, they're taking our land, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." I'll be right back. [heavy metal music] Just in the mood for some Ozzie today. So, yeah, checking in a few we don't hear very often. Morning. Hope you're making it through the morning okay. My enthusiasm for today, low, real low, but we're, we're making it through. It's already almost 9:30, show's almost done. Then I just have to suffer through the Monday morning meeting, and then I can get cracking on even more tedious tasks in my office. Ugh! It's gotta be done though. I need to get this done. It's killing me. Ugh, my brain. Anyway, morning. Uh, digging through the news, you know, not a lot of wacky news going on. I mean, I found a story about a bouncy house getting swept up into the air. Those are always kinda fun 'cause they're usually full of children. Um, everyone's okay, you know, some minor injuries. But yeah, if you're gonna rent a bouncy house, you gotta stake that thing down. The breeze picks up, it... then you got, you know, straight out of the Wizard of Oz going on, okay? And kids flying through the air in a bouncy house, even though it's bouncy inside, when you're getting bounced around and smashed into other children, probably takes a little bit out of the fun, you know, that you have when you're playing in a bouncy house. So,

where's the video footage? You know, that's what, that's what everybody wants to see, you know? We just had an article about it, you know, just warning people, "Stake that crap down."

So, yeah, just, just a reminder, you know, maybe you're renting a bouncy house for something soon, probably not around here. Weather, it's getting a little bit brisk out there. This is the time of year I stop even looking at the weather forecast 'cause I don't wanna know. I don't wanna know.

Need to roll, roll down somewhere where bouncy houses would be appropriate at this time of year. Phoenix already sounding pretty good. [heavy metal music] All right, if you're out for a walk, you know, just enjoying a bit of nature and you happen to stumble across a dead body, please don't call my show and tell me about it. Call the authorities. Yeah, this guy in, uh, I think it was Washington, DC,

I guess he was just out walking through the woods and saw a dead body, so he decided to call the Elliot in the Morning show on DC 101.[rock music] Let 'em know, "Hey, I was out and about. I, I saw a dead body 18 days ago." And they're like, "Dude, what are you doing? Call the cops." The guy's like, "All right. I, I will. I, I had a dream that reminded me to do so." How do you walk past a dead body in the woods and just go, "Uh,

all right. I'll forget about that"? Yeah, you would think this was a radio bit, but it was real. It was real. And the guy, he's a real weirdo too, this caller. I mean, we get some weird callers sometimes. But he's like, "It might sound sick, but I've always wanted to come ac- across something like that. Luckily, it was months old, so that, that was nice." We're like, "D- dude,

that's gross. Call the cops." And he's like, "Well, do you think I need to do it right now?" And they're like, "W- yes.

There's a dead body in the woods." So, I guess they put the guy on hold, and they're like, "Well, what do we do?" What? You call the cops, radio host. Eh. I mean, I know we got a lot of cops that listen to my show, so I would think things would get rolling pretty quickly. But kinda weirdo calls a radio show with that... I, I mean, it made, made the news. I, I would enjoy making the news for some crap that went down on my radio show, but not that. You know? It's way... It was way too early, you know? Didn't get enough sleep last night, having weird dreams. Uh. Please don't call with that on a Monday morning or even a Tuesday. Yeah. Just if you need Lieutenant Crane's number, just call and ask for that real, real quick. Just call 911. This is easy. Ugh. Well, again, they got press out of it, so I'm sure they're happy. All right. We're surviving today, everybody. This day is a creeper. It is moving by very slowly, but we're gonna get through it, all right? [rock music] We got this. We can crush it. Just keep powering ahead. What is it? Cyber Monday today? I should probably take a look at some deals. I have been severely slacking on my Christmas shopping. It's tough. You know, Christmas shopping, a little expensive this year. And, uh,

you know, just try to, try to not feel bad if you can't get as crazy as you like to normally. It's just one of those years. Things are very steep, so that's not what the holidays are all about anyway, right? I mean, it is about giving but, um, being together with family and friends and

doing chores 'cause you gotta do all those chores to get ready for the family and friends. Uh, luckily, I got a few more days, few more days to get things in order before one of the daughters shows up and then I got 'em like all next week. Hopefully, it'll be fun. Hopefully, it'll be fun. I'm sure it will be. So, enjoy the rest of your Monday. Peaches and I will be back at noon for the noon hour of madness and mayhem. If you ever miss that show, we post it in podcast form everywhere podcasts can be found. And I even got those up on YouTube as of today on the K-Bear YouTube page. So if you prefer using YouTube Music, we had 'em down for a bit, but now, I don't know, there's like 300 episodes of my show, 300 of Peaches. Yeah, they're, they're all over the place. So, scope 'em out. Listen to us on demand and, uh, gotta go to the Monday morning meeting. Boo. Hopefully it's a quick one, uh, so I can get back to, uh, boring, tedious work in my office. Yay. But you have a great rest of your morning. Guess I'll head down the hall. But I'm gonna leave you with some Closer by request. Becca wanted to hear it and very nice.
