Thanks for tuning in, kicking it with me.
And hope your morning is going good so far. It's Friday, which is fantastic. Uh, yeah, I don't feel that great. This is wonderful. Nothing like rolling into the weekend and wondering if I picked up a bug. I mean, there were a lot of people around to pick a bug up from at the Trans-Siberian Orchestra show last night.
So glad I went to that. It was incredible. One of the most amazing shows that I've ever seen, and definitely the coolest Christmas thing I've ever seen. It was- it was insane. Uh, like, tool Christmas. The light show... I mean, they had, uh, pyro on both ends of the arena. They had drones, uh, lasers. It was nuts. Just so, so cool. So, yeah, if you were at the show last night and you're up bright and early with me, sorry you gotta be awake right now. I would certainly, uh, prefer to be back in bed. Yeah, I don't know if I, uh, picked up a bug or... I mean, there was a lot of fog at the show, and sometimes, you know, I'm an old wuss and things, uh, irritate me a little bit. So,
took an allergy med this morning. Hopefully, whatever's going on is relating to, uh, yeah, that. Just, you know, a little irritated from the fog. That's what I'm hoping. And speaking of fog, yeah. At least in Idaho Falls, if, uh, you haven't left your house yet, very foggy outside. So, you know, exercise a little bit of extra caution. If you're gonna get out on the roadways, take it a little bit slow
and, uh, you know, just be careful out there, you know, especially if you're on the freeway. Slow it way down. All right. I am going to dig for something to talk about, and, uh, yeah, maybe take a little- little ibuprofen. Will that- will that help? I don't know. It's a chest issue. Ugh, so annoying. Anyway, we'll power through. If there's any time to pick up a bug, I guess it's on Friday when
I don't have to work tomorrow, but I have so much to do around my house. [screams quietly] [rock music plays] It's Victor Wiltz. Morning and happy Friday,
or it could be evening or- I don't know. The show's available on demand, so I have no idea when you're listening to this, but I'm gonna do my best to do a de- decent show today. It's not going so fantastic for me so far. Uh, m- You can perhaps even hear it in my voice. Not feeling so fantastic in my- in my chest here. Great. Great, where I have 10 billion things to do today and 10 billion things to do this weekend. Fantastic. Ugh, and it's a- just crap, slow news day. Trying to find stuff to talk about here. I'm like, "You gotta be kidding me.
Where are my topics?" Hmm. All right. Let's see. Somebody asked online, "For anyone who was able to experience The Blair Witch Project in theaters in 1999, what was the experience like?" That was a long time ago. That's kind of crazy. 25 years ago, I did see it in the theater, and, uh, it was awesome. At that time, there wasn't really, uh, found footage movies like that, and, uh, you know, went into it not really know- knowing what to expect. Really enjoyed it. Let's see. People online saying, "I was 19. Thought it was a decent movie, but not life-changing until the next morning when I had to walk through a- a dark trail on my way to work. I won't say I ran, but a light shuffle." [laughs] Can you imagine having to walk on a dark trail to go to work? That- that would suck. I mean, it was a creepy, foggy drive on the way to work today, but... Uh, a lot of people saying they were genuinely afraid in a movie theater. I don't remember being particularly afraid. I just thought it was a good movie, but I don't tend to, you know, really get freaked out by horror movies. I just like 'em. Last time I got actually freaked out by some form of entertainment, I suppose, would be Resident Evil 7 VR. Yeah. Couple times in that game, I'm like, "Nah, I don't wanna go in there," even though I knew it was a video game. No, I don't wanna go down those stairs. No way. Uh, if you haven't seen The Blair Witch Project, you should give it a watch. It's good stuff. Oh, boy. It's gonna be one of those days today. Should probably get all the commercials done that I need to do in case I start feeling nastier. Fantastic. [rock music plays] So, earlier this week, pretty much all- everybody in Pocatello was talking about was the fact that the Ghost Adventures team was in town. Found an article from the Idaho State Journal. Got a little bit more information on what they were up to, Zak Bagans and crew. Uh, we knew they were investigating the Yellowstone Hotel, but apparently, they were there to investigate the 27 spirits or residents that the owners, uh, I guess informed them about a couple years ago. Been working for about two years to align schedules and get in and check this place out. Yeah. Yeah. They were, uh, up in the restricted top floor and then down in the maze-like basement.[heavy metal music] Now, the owner said they have strict nondisclosure agreements, so they couldn't say much about what happened during the investigation, but, uh,
this should be pretty cool. The article doesn't say, you know, when this is going to air, but definitely gonna have to check it out. You know, w- we've got some weird, creepy old buildings here in East Idaho, and, I, I know in downtown Pokey. You always hear about all the haunted places, and the Yellowstone Hotel was one, I recall hearing about, uh, when I was younger. So, get ready to get creeped out whenever they decide to, uh, air it. Should be pretty sweet, though. I'm, I'm sure we'll hear more
before too long. And don't forget, of course, Lieutenant Crane and fam appearing on Family Feud, I believe in January. I'll try to remember to ask him about that when he gets in here for Traffic School, powered by The Advocates, kicking off at about 8:45. Yeah, got about an hour and a half to fini- or figure out your questions. Would love to have you on the show.
Traffic School's always loads of fun, so yeah. Yeah, why don't you think up something to ask me and Lieutenant Crane and take part in the show today? [energetic music] You know, if you hear something is a TikTok challenge, you should probably just not do it. They, they tend to not end well, pretty much ever. You know, putting your health at risk or
getting yourself arrested. There's a guy in Florida
who claimed he was taking part in a TikTok challenge. Uh, just walking naked down a, uh, street, 36 degree weather. Then when the cops stop him because, well, it's a naked man out on the street, he's like, "Uh, uh, the TikTok challenge. Come on." Then he gave them a fake name, wrong address. Uh, yeah, he, he racked up a pretty good pile of charges there. I guess, uh, resisting without violence [laughs]. I guess that's, uh, what you get when you give them false information. Uh, and of course, you know, he, he was naked in public, so... Eh. You know, you're just trying to make your way to work. You looking out your window, see a naked man on the side of the road. I, I assume the driver didn't stop when they called the cops, 'cause, uh, yeah, if you see somebody walking down the road naked,
you probably don't wanna talk to that person, all right? [laughs] Doesn't say that he was like hammered or that anything really bad happened, but, uh, yeah, if, if you're walking down the road naked, I would be a little bit concerned that, uh, yeah, you, you might be a little unhinged. It is Florida, but still. All right, I'm gonna do my best to dig up some freak news. Today kinda sucks, people. I'm not feeling so fantastic. I swear if I get sick rolling into the weekend when I got plans to do a lot around my house, I'm gonna be furious. Ugh. Hopefully I'm just a wuss and was irritated by all of the fog at the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert last night. Uh, it was amazing. It was amazing, but, ugh. A little bit off today, people. Gonna be fun talking for like an hour straight during Traffic School, let me tell you what. [energetic music] That's right. Time to get dumb. Let's see what's going on in the world. Weird, wacky, stupid. I don't know how this guy thought this was really gonna help, but apparently in Seattle, guy was trying to run from the police in a stolen truck. So, you know, they're trying to chase him down. He starts driving recklessly through a neighborhood, jumps out of the truck and runs into a Goodwill store, and then, uh, he just tries to change his clothes in there as quickly as possible. Uh, that's gonna draw attention to yourself [laughs], period. Even if you weren't running from the police, if you just bust into Goodwill and start throwing on clothes, uh, yeah, they're, they're gonna call the cops anyway. So, obviously, guy arrested, uh, in addition to the stolen vehicle, packing a bunch of drugs and things like that. And then they found a lock pit, lock pick kit and other tools to steal vehicles inside of stead- uh, said stolen truck, so yeah. Gonna be away for a while. Guess that disguise, yeah, sucked. What else we got here? The town of Carmel, California banning pickleball. Tsk. Ah, what are the old people gonna do? What are the old people gonna do? They only had one park, Forest Hill Park, where they could play pickleball, but I guess the click clack, click clack driving neighbors crazy, so yeah, permanent ban
[laughs]. Oh, man. Some people whine about, uh, the craziest things. I don't know. I've, I've never lived by a pickleball court. Maybe it is super annoying.
I tend to get i- irritated easy enough, but I mean, unless they're doing it all hours of the night, just shut your d- your, uh, windows, crank up some tunes, blast some metal at 'em.
And I gotta say, uh, last night, one of the things that occurred to me at the Trans-Siberian Orchestra show, looking around at the crowd, you know, every type of person imaginable there, and that was a straight-up metal show. Like,
it, it was crushingly heavy at times, and everybody was just loving it. Trans-Siberian Orchestra needs to point that out on stage, "Are you guys enjoying this metal show?" Then maybe we'd get people to, uh, you know, come check out some other metal shows. It was crazy. All right, uh, what else do we have here?
[rock music] Oh, UFO stuff. Yeah, I guess a police chopper was forced to take emergency evasive action after being targeted by a Tic Tac-shaped UFO over a US air base last year. I guess at the time, the government was like, "Nah, it was just a, a jet. J- s- you know, don't worry about it. It was just a jet." But now the, uh, police logs, you know, people taking a look, and yeah, it, it was yet another Tic Tac UFO. Do they got video? That's what I wanna see. Come on. Uh, I don't know. Just want the government to, uh, distract us with some, you know, crazy UFO news, something to take our minds off the, the reality of the world we're living in
[laughs]. Could you guys give us some of that 4K video you promised years ago? That'd be great. And yeah, I mean, how, how well can a helicopter evade the, uh, Tic Tac? Pretty, pretty wild. I guess, uh, everybody's okay though, huh?
Well, until we get some better quality video footage, I'll just try to complain about these things [laughs]. All right. It's eight o'clock. I hope you're doing good. I am going to get myself some water. Yeah, little bit, uh, little bit off today. A little bit, uh, chest irritated. I'm really hoping it's not a bug and it's just irritation from that amazing, you know, fog-filled arena last night with the, uh, Trans-Siberian Orchestra. [instrumental music] It's too early for your crap, dude.
Yep.
Go, go away.
I want to.
No.
Wanna go back to bed.
Oh. Uh, uh, well, let's both just leave work.
Perfect.
You're, you're the one in charge, right?
No [laughs].
No? Oh.
You know how it works. [laughs]
Yeah.
I'm just the fall guy.
Okay. Well, um, you figure out the excuse then.
[laughs]
Ugh.
We, we had an awesome concert last night. That's the excuse.
Dude, that show was freaking insane.
It was awesome.
Like, I knew it was gonna be good, but I mean, that was crazy.
Yeah. Trans-Siberian Orchestra, if you get a chance, you definitely need to see 'em. They played for what, like, two hours and 40 minutes-
Something like that
... plus three hours or something?
Yeah, we didn't make it through the entire thing. I think that was my, uh, girlfriend's daughter's first concert-
Oh.
... and I [laughs]-
[laughs] Just getting pummeled then [laughs].
Oh, yeah, dude. Uh, once the, uh, fires started shooting up at the other end of the arena-
Yeah
... like, right by where we were at [laughs]-
[laughs]
... after that I think the, the show had just cooked her brain. She's like, "Let's go." [laughs]
[laughs]
"Whoa."
Yeah.
"Whoa!"
We, we made it, uh, at least, uh, two hours, two hours 15 minutes in, so yeah. It, it was just nuts. It was like, uh, tool Christmas is the way I-
[laughs]
... described it. Or Nine Inch Nails.
Yeah.
Like, those two bands are the only ones that come close to what we saw last night.
Oh, yeah. And-
As far as the production value, the lasers, the fire, the lights.
Yeah, it w- uh, like, I, I've never seen a show like that, dude. It, it, it was nuts. You know, I'm like, "All right. Let's go to a Christmas show."
[laughs]
Dude, that was metal show.
[laughs] Yeah.
I, I loved how, you know, you had every type of person there, you know, old people, little kids, and it's like, these people don't realize they're just watching a crushing metal show-
Yeah. [laughs]
... just ripping, shredding-
Shredding up there.
Ch- ch- yeah, dude, it was-
Stage is all lifting around.
Dude.
It was cool.
Oh, yeah. Just fire, green fire.
[laughs]
Like, ugh. I, I was very, very impressed, to say the least, but I think the fog 'cause, you know, w- when we rolled into the arena, I mean, even the hallways were foggy.
Yeah.
I was like, "Oh, this is gonna be awesome." This is gonna be-
Did you notice that [laughs] poor Sap sitting on the floor and one of the fog machines was just pointing right at him?
Oh.
And it was just pummeling him, and you could see the, the cloud just come down and then billow up off the floor around him.
Holy cow.
We could barely see this poor dude all night.
Oh, man. [laughs].
[laughs] Just pummeling him.
Yeah, 'cause my chest hurts today, so I'm like, "I h- I hope it's just the fog," and I didn't... I mean, that place was so packed. Like, a- that was the most cars I've ever seen there, for sure.
Yeah.
It was crazy. So yeah, hopefully I'm not sick, Jade [coughs].
I hope you're sick.
I hope I'm not. I need to clean my house.
Not like you hope on your white blood cell count.
Ugh. No, no farting, please.
[laughs]
Please. Feeling rough enough just sitting here trying to-
Just clear out the fog with some other fog.
Uh, you better watch out. I, I might have a little fog of my own [laughs]. You, you never know, buddy.
[laughs]
Ah, so yeah, did your kids enjoy it?
Oh, yeah. They didn't wanna leave.
Oh, did, did you guys make it through the whole thing?
Yeah.
Nice, nice. Uh, and did I miss out on any spectacular effects toward the very end?
They did, uh, well, the end with Carol of Bells, they had some more, like, firecracker stuff, and it was-
Okay.
... and then just went all out.
Dude, that, I mean, they had drones flying around.
Yeah. The drones were cool.
Dude, that was way crazy. The, you know, just the chick on the rising stage that appeared outta nowhere on the other end of the arena, and-
Yeah.
It, it was crazy, dude.
The two guitarists went back to that little rising stage at the end and they did more drone work.
Ah. Okay.
It wa-
Didn't get to see that. Now, I did see the fire shooting from it, though.
Fire.
There was so much fire.
Fire. [laughs]
Like, if you like fire, you would've really liked this show.
And the blue and green, that was cool.
Yeah. That's, I don't think I've ever seen blue and green fire at a show before.
Fire.
So much fire.
Where's the Beavis and Butt-Head fire button?
I don't think I have a fire button. I just have boing.
Boing. [laughs]
That's the only one I got.
[laughs]
Kinda like, yeah, the, the rising, uh, stages.
Yep.
[laughs]
Boing.
Boing. [laughs]
[laughs]
Well, that, that was great. Uh, thanks to everybody who said hello at the show last night. Hope you had as much fun as we did, and oh-
Yeah
... now we just gotta get through today.
Oh, I'm struggling.
Yeah. Uh-
All that pummeling kept me awake for a while and was, like, trying to calm down the nervous system still.
Oh, yeah, dude. I, like... I'm too old for this.
[laughs]
Dude, I know, and we're just sitting there. I was like, "This is freaking nuts." [laughs]So, oh, almost started hacking. Uh, Classy has officially, uh, launched-
Yeah
... Christmas.
I heard it this morning.
I was gonna pop over and see what they were gonna do, but I was like, "Nah, I don't wanna see Josh." [laughs]
[laughs] Saw enough of him yesterday.
He did a good job on stage last night, though.
Yeah, raised, uh, what? $3,000 for the Ronald McDonald House as part of that show.
Yeah.
It was pretty cool.
Pretty-
Good job, Classy.
Pretty dang awesome. So yeah, if you need Christmas music, it's here on Classy. [laughs] Now hit me. [instrumental music plays] 'Sup? It's Victor Wilt. Holy cow, the show is officially... well, pretty much officially over. Time for me to, uh, get back to the tedious tasks at hand. Just wanna remind you, as we roll into the weekend, don't be an irritant. Was reading online about this, this poor woman. She's a huge Buffalo Bills fan, and her husband, she says, is a fan, I guess, by marriage. But every game is unbearable to watch with him, and unenjoyable, 'cause he overreacts to everything. He's perpetually negative and critical, and never stops topping- talking the entire game. She's asking for advice, uh, dump him. No, just tell him to shut up. Be like, "Dude, I'm trying to watch the game. Why you gotta blabber on so much?" I don't know. Good luck to her. Just, yeah, try to not be an irritant to people this weekend. Try to be good. You know, be a nice human. And I should be back for the noon hour of madness and mayhem with Peaches in a bit. I don't feel very great, though, so we'll see. In the meantime, I got stuff I, I gotta do. It must be done. It's required. I'll talk to you later. [instrumental music plays] Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show.
