The Viktor Wilt Show

This episode of the Viktor Wilt Show begins exactly where all great philosophical manifestos begin: with a man staring at his hoodie strings and realizing they are a scam. What starts as a reasonable gripe about drawstrings escalates into a full-blown economic takedown of Big Hoodie, complete with accusations of grommet price inflation, shoelace labor conspiracies, and the bold proposal that removing strings could singlehandedly save concert merch prices and maybe society itself. From there, Viktor freefalls directly into caffeine withdrawal delirium, Friday exhaustion, and the spiritual emptiness that comes from scrolling a Facebook feed that looks like it was curated by raccoons with Wi-Fi. The show ricochets wildly through traffic law absurdities, including allegedly legal cannibalism in Idaho, illegal leg-biting in Rhode Island, and Alabama’s vendetta against Sunday dominoes, before launching headfirst into a Mandela Effect-style psychological assault involving forgotten TV shows that may or may not have existed in this timeline. Puppet castles, frozen-time finger tricks, TGIF-induced memory gaps, and Nickelodeon fever dreams collide until Viktor’s brain audibly taps out and begs for Pink Floyd’s The Wall as a coping mechanism.

Just when you think the chaos has peaked, the show swerves into a cursed Reddit thread about unhinged teachers, featuring desk-throwing educators, pyromaniac chemistry instructors, traumatic supply-closet solitary confinement, and a religion teacher who treated Prince of Egypt like a one-man Broadway audition. The mood whiplashes again as Victor narrowly avoids emotional collapse by pivoting to freak news, including a woman waking up spooning a seven-foot python in Australia (absolutely not), a car thief who accidentally became a narc after finding a kilo of cocaine, and a deeply judgmental test about standing on one leg to determine whether your body is betraying you with age. Somewhere in the madness, a Fallout-inspired reality show casting call appears, inviting listeners to voluntarily imprison themselves underground for cash, charisma checks, and vibes, while Viktor self-assesses his stats like a man who knows luck has never once shown up for him. The episode finally limps toward peace with a plea for everyone to stop screaming in Facebook comments, a passionate defense of East Idaho News, a longing for sleep, a promise of social media exile, and a rallying cry to heal society with Beavis and Butt-Head. It’s unfiltered, sleep-deprived, caffeinated chaos, held together by vibes, existential dread, and the unshakable belief that hoodie strings are the root of all evil.

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.

Speaker 1: So I was sitting around last night just kind of thinking and I noticed that the straps were missing from the hooding, the hoodie I'm currently wearing and it just occurred to me like, oh this is great those stupid straps aren't just getting in my way and I got thinking about it and I'm like why do they even put those stupid straps on hoodies? So you can tighten the hood around your head real tight. Like you may have very rarely seen somebody do that but generally people just put the hood on or the hood's just kind of hanging out, right?

It's just kind of there. It's nice when it's cold outside you put the hood on but what's the point of those straps? I think it's jacking up the prices that we got to pay for these cool rock hoodies.

So I think that should just like go away. I don't think there's any point and I know this is a kind of pointless thought but you know hoodies have gotten to be really expensive and I wear a lot of hoodies. So it's like why don't they do away with having to put the holes in the hood and then you know they've got the little metal grommets and then you gotta get a shoelace and somebody's gotta string that through or whatever. I don't know how they make hoodies.

I'm not a seamstress or something like that or would I be a seamster? Anyhow, I just think those strings and hoodies are dumb and a waste of time and they're jacking up the price of our hoodies by at least a few bucks and every dollar counts nowadays we need to do whatever we can to save money. So get rid of the dumb strings.

Alright, let's help lower concert merch prices. See, this is the kind of crap that goes through my head sometimes. I'm really glad it's Friday. Really need a weekend. It's been a long one people but we're gonna get through this day, we're gonna survive. I hope I don't have too much I gotta do today. I don't know, I need to look through my database of potential work. I think I need more coffee.

I wiped out every bit of coffee I had at my house this morning and I don't think it was quite enough. Gonna need some more. Should be a fun show today.

We got traffic school powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys. That's coming up at 8.45 or if you're listening on demand, you know, I post that separately. So, you know, just look for it on the Victor Wilt Show Podcast Channel. Everywhere podcasts can be found and you can listen to me and Lieutenant Crane answer questions about the law.

Hope you'll take part in the show today. Ask us anything. Have you been in an argument recently about something relating to traffic law or whatever? I mean, you can ask us whatever you want. We can get silly and stupid. So, we'll do it live.

8.45, traffic school powered by the Advocates. Right now I'm gonna see what I can find to talk about that's not just the unpleasantries of the world, the weirdness of the world, what is happening in the world. It's my Facebook feed, man. It's a nightmare today.

It's bad. But there's gotta be something fun to talk about out there. We'll try to keep it light. It's Friday.

Just wanna roll into a nice weekend. I was talking a bit about traffic school powered by the Advocates. Got a call from a listener who was mentioning weird law and I think it was Rhode Island where apparently it's illegal to bite people in the leg but you can bite them anywhere else you want. I don't know. That sounds a little bit suspicious. Sounds like assault to me if you bite somebody. But there are some, you know, just weird laws out there. You know, like Pocatello, how you have to smile. I don't think they enforce that law but in pokey, illegal to not smile. There's weird laws all over the place. Like for example in Alabama, you're not allowed to play dominoes on Sunday.

Yeah. Can't play dominoes on Sunday. Or hunt, shoot, play cards or race. Yeah, no running.

No running against somebody else. Now most of these stupid outdated laws I don't think they still enforce. Like last week during traffic school, Lieutenant Crane mentioned there's a law on the books that if you stay the night with somebody, you know, they stay at your house and you know.

That you're legally married. Yeah, I don't think they enforce that one either. Yeah, in Colorado, if you want to make snow, you need a permit. You know, in Delaware, can't sell pet fur. Yeah, if you sell fur from a pet going to jail, who would want to buy like dog fur?

Dog or cat fur? That's kind of disturbing to me. That's just me. And I thought they fixed this one, but this website was talking about how in Idaho, cannibalism is usually illegal. But if you're under life threatening conditions as the only apparent means of survival, this thing says that, nah, this is all right in Idaho. I'm going to have to ask Lieutenant Crane about that one. Let me copy and paste this. Might as well keep traffic school nice and pleasant with those kind of topics here. Weird laws. Yeah, that's government hard at work.

Yeah, well, ban truck nuts, but we can go ahead and keep these other silly laws on the books. Welcome to the Victor Wilt Show. Speaking of shows, came across a thread here. What's a show you remember, but nobody else does? Hmm.

Well, as you all know, I have a really good memory, so I'm sure I'm going to remember all the shows on this list. Let's find out. No. All right, digging in here. Eureka's Castle. Okay, that sounds familiar. Somebody got a link to a little clip of it.

Hang on here, let me turn that down. And let's go ahead and check out the Eureka's Castle intro on YouTube. See if this looks familiar. Hmm. Now this is very interesting reading. Oh, we got like a giant trudging around. It's pages. My castle music box. Ready? Here we go. What is this?

Speaker 2: Whoa. This does look like a... Whoa. Okay. This is weird.

Speaker 1: All right, but there's like a castle with a bunch of, you know, puppet characters, a flying bat, like some kind of dragon. Yo, you read you me, you see who? Eureka, oh me, oh you, don't you see? This is familiar. Whoa, weird.

Okay. I had forgotten about that show. Eureka's Castle. I mean, I'm sure that was on when I was a kid.

I just don't remember what age. Okay, this is starting to weird me out. It's weird how you can totally forget about stuff.

Let's see here. Someone says, I remember liking this TGIF show, just the 10 of us late 80s. I don't remember that one either. They don't have a link to any clips from that. But do you remember TGIF period? I forgot about that. I don't remember what channel was, but like TGIF was a run of shows every Friday.

Thank goodness it's Friday. And, you know, I guess it was the most popular shows at the time. Forgot all about that.

That's back when we had like three channels to watch everybody, unless you had the luxury of cable TV. Yeah. Herman's Head. I don't remember that at all.

Eek the Cat. This seems like some Mandela effect stuff here. I don't even know if I want to go through this thread.

Kind of making my head hurt. Hey dude, I do remember Hey Dude. That was a cowboy ship. Well, sorta.

Dude's working, you know, kids working on a ranch. It was on Nickelodeon. I used to watch that show. What was the one that had some of those same kids, I think? Camp Onawanna. Was that what it was called?

Something like that? Oh man, I'm so old. I'm so old. Northern Exposure. Okay, I remember that. Nick News. Yeah, Nickelodeon News.

News for kids. The simpler times. Back in the day. Land of the Lost. See, I think most people would remember that as a movie at this point. Out of this world where the main character could freeze time by touching her index fingers together and unfreeze it by clapping her hands.

Now that, I seem to just remember a video game called Out of This World. Hmm. Let's see what else we got.

Snorks. That's not, okay, that doesn't seem like it's that old. I do remember that one.

Beakman's World. I remember that. That was the weird scientist guy. Yeah, kind of looked like that guy that's on Ancient Aliens. Sort of. Minus the beard. With a wacky, you know, scientist suit on. Freakazoid. I remember that. Pirates in Darkwater. No. David the Gnome. No.

Max Headroom. I do remember that because that was some of that weird MTV late night stuff. Now, okay.

Yeah, we're just getting into a bunch now that, okay, these should be the ones upvoted because I don't remember these at all. I'll fly away. The big comfy couch. That sounds familiar to.

Okay. You know when your brain starts trying to pull up memories from way back in the day? I think reading through this thread has given me a headache because my brain's working too hard to remember things.

Time to take a break. That makes me want to watch The Wall. When's the last time you watched Pink Floyd's The Wall? Blew my mind as a teenager. You know, it's kind of disturbing film. It's very, very crazy. And so, you know, just one of those masterpieces of film from a masterpiece of an album.

Need to listen to The Wall start to finish as a matter of fact. Maybe I'll do that today while I'm working on tedious boring crap that I have to do. Oh, man. Wish I could have slept in a little bit more today. Anyway, good morning.

Welcome to the Victor Will Show. Ugh. I was digging for content and it all just seems like garbage.

Yeah. Like, some of it would have worked just fine. But, I don't know, I'm just not satisfied with the content that I've been digging up as of late. Let's see.

Should we look at Unhinged Things a former teacher did in the classroom? Oh, boy. You shouldn't just jump into a thread like this without previewing it. But, I'm a maniac. I'm going to do it because it's a tough content day. All right.

Wish me lots of luck and find him freak news. I mean, there's plenty of stuff that I would love to make fun of, but... It's not going to dig into it. Everybody's two nuts. Okay. Unhinged Things that a former teacher did in the classroom. All right. This one, okay. Unhinged in a Funway.

That's what we need right now. Some Unhinged in a Funway content. This person says, my religion teacher put on the DreamWorks movie, Prince of Egypt for us in class. When it got to the part where the song, You're Playing with the Big Boys Now, was about to play, he paused the movie. Told us it was his favorite song and that he was going to sing along and none of us could stop him.

He proceeded to prance around the room like a cabaret dancer, yelling the song at the top of his lungs, staring down whoever was the nearest student to him. Love that guy. All right. I have a feeling that's going to be the only fun thing that we dig up in this thread. Because when you think about teachers doing something unhinged, it's like what, getting the ruler and breaking it over somebody's knuckles or something like that.

Let's see. Mr. Bloom earned the nickname Mr. Boom when he threw a desk so hard toward, but not at, a certain student that one of the legs punctured the wall and it just stayed there. Yikes. I mean, I've told this story a few times about how I had this cranky teacher in third grade. And we were on our way to a field trip. We're walking down the hall and I think I was talking, you know, I just said something in the hallway. And so she dragged me to, I don't know if she dragged me, but she took me to the office said I'm not allowed to go on the field trip. And then I got mad because I was like, I'm sorry. I don't remember where we were going, but I really wanted to go on this field trip. Didn't let me go. And then they like kept me in the school supply closet all day long.

No lie. All day long. Sitting in the school supply closet by yourself. And do you remember how time crept by when you were a kid? Especially when you were in school.

Like as an adult, time goes by really fast. It sucks. It's kind of terrifying.

But when you're a kid, time creeps. Now imagine being basically in a solitary confinement in school. I think I had like, you know, because it was the supply closet. I found some books to read or something to pass the time, but it was awful. And then my parents didn't believe me.

Tell many years later when I kept telling the story, I'm like, no, that really happened. Yeah, it was the principal who decided to, you know, implement that punishment. She was an awful human being. I'm not going to say her name, but she was terrible. I remember her name.

Just not going to say what it is. Because she was probably some of your principal. Some of yours principal. I can't even throw together proper English. See, that's why I should have been in class, I guess, instead of the supply closet. Don't even know how to speak.

All right, let's see. I'm trying to yap while I read these. A lot of these are very unpleasant. Let's see, one of the ridiculous policies in this class he loved to remind everyone of was if you ever answered him with the words I don't know, he would knock your desk over with you in it. You remember those desks with the attached chair? Oh, why does school have to be so uncomfortable? I mean, I guess padded chairs are going to wear out and those, you know, just rock hard things that we had to sit in in school.

And also, I guess they're easier to claim. It was just going to last way longer than a nice cushy chair, but oh, school was so uncomfortable. It did teach you how to sleep in uncomfortable conditions. So, you know, like, I could probably put my head down on the board here and just crash out. Remember sleeping on your desk in school? That's a good way to get yourself yelled at as well. I'm tired.

All right, I'm tired. Let's see, this teacher decided to show how earthquake proof the lights were by hanging from them. They were not indeed rated for such a test.

Now that would have been entertaining to see. All right, lots of abusive teachers in this thread. I'm not going to get into those here.

Wow. Okay, I think I can say this one. Well, this person says her co-worker just said that her high school philosophy teacher said to the entire class, basically, you know, getting physical with his wife is so beautiful that after we're done, I sit on the edge of the bed and cry. Can you imagine your teacher telling you that? Oh, man, there's some wackos out there.

All right, here's another one where they say unhinged, but in a good way. A chemistry teacher lit his desk on fire using alcohol and a taser to introduce us to one of our next chapters. Also built a cannon in the hallway. He went through around 100 ceiling tiles a semester.

Why didn't I have any fun teachers like that? It's like Walter White, but extra unhinged. That's awesome. All right, unfortunately, the rest are, you know, just things that are unpleasant.

All right. What is going on here? I think Peaches just plugged in some songs for fun because this song. How did this end enter into rotation? Hmm. Hmm. Unless I've lost my mind, which is possible. OK, anyway, I'm going to try to dig up some freak news.

OK, I'll be back. I'm never going to Australia. I don't care how many beautiful beach pictures I see or whatever.

Just too many snake stories. This woman in Queensland. You know, she's having a nice night of rest. And then she just wakes up with a two and a half meter carpet python just curled up sleeping on top of her. Last night when I was like crashing out, I thought that Becca had kind of laid her head down on me. So, you know, half awake turns out it was the cat, you know, and I'm like, oh, whoa, it's the cat.

Yeah, imagine you wake up, you think you know, your dog's laying on you. That's what she thought. That's what this woman in Australia thought. Thought it was her dog.

Then she went to give it a pet. You ever touch the snake? Oh, can you imagine? Can you imagine? I mean, this two and a half meters is pretty long.

All right. What what is that about seven foot, eight foot? You know, here in America, we don't use the metric system. So I don't remember. It's big.

OK. It's a big snake. I'm looking at the picture. Oh, oh, horrifying.

All right. Here we've got a criminal who did something good. This one blew my mind. You would think that somebody who is breaking into cars to steal stuff. If he found drugs that he'd probably steal those two, but not in Hyannis, Massachusetts.

No, this guy. He breaks into this car and he finds a kilo of cocaine in the trunk. So he decides to call the police and tell him, hey, I found some illegal drugs in a just kind of on the side of the road.

And they start, you know, questioning him. And eventually he's like, well, I actually broke in the car and I was going to try to steal the car. He explained how he was going to try to steal the car. But then he was worried he was going to get more trouble if he got pulled over in the stolen car with the cocaine. So ended up getting another guy arrested. Now, did they both get arrested? I didn't read the whole article. Let's see here. I mean, yeah, they don't really say they only say that that, you know, the guy obviously had the cocaine in his trunk.

He's in a lot of trouble, but maybe they're giving the guy a pass for for turning in the more serious crime, I guess. All right, what else we got here? Stand on one leg. Are you getting old? OK, I don't know if I can stand on one leg. Let's see.

To give it a whirl. I'm standing on one leg right now. OK, I'm doing pretty good. Yeah, apparently if you're over the age of 50, which I guess I'm not yet, not yet. Your ability to balance on a single leg for more than a few seconds can indicate a surprising amount about your general health and how well you're aging. So what they say you should do is stand on one leg as much as possible, because it's great for, you know, building strength, reducing the risk of falls and improving your memory.

As you know, if you listen to the show all the time, my memory is garbage. So maybe I just need to stand on one leg more often. I don't think I've ever done radio standing on one leg.

OK, let's see if I can do it on the other leg. And I'm doing pretty good. I'm a little wobbly, but I haven't fallen down yet. If you hear a loud thump, I'm, you know, call the classy hotline. Have Josh come come take a look because Peaches is out today. He's on vacation. No peaches here to save me.

You got to call classy or the front desk. But yeah, if you're aging, there's something you can do to improve things for yourself and. Hey, it's better than, you know, jogging in this weather. So all right, I feel pretty good about myself.

Stand it on one foot. We'll be back with more dumb content here in a minute. Hey, you need some money?

Of course you do. We all need money in this day and age. Times are tough.

Things are expensive. Would you go on a game show to win some money? And something probably a little bit more unpleasant than, say, Family Feud, which Lieutenant Crane of the Idaho State Police is going to be on the 27th and 28th. Really looking forward to seeing the Crane family on Family Feud. Now let's talk about fallout shelter.

All right. You've seen the show fallout, right? Or played the video games.

Apparently they are now casting for a reality TV show, kind of like Squid Game, the challenge, but it's fallout shelter where, you know, you got to live together with a bunch of other people in a top secret vault and compete in a series of games that tests the seven core attributes from the fallout world. Strength, perception, endurance, charisma, intelligence, agility and luck. Let's see. Strength. I don't know how well I do in that. That attribute perception depends on how much rest I've gotten, I suppose. Endurance.

Oh, is it mental endurance or physical? Charisma, I think I'm fairly charismatic. Most people seem to like me.

The handful of people that don't. Well, you suck. All right. And you're probably not listening to this program right now. Intelligence. I'm super smart. I'm like super smart. No, just kidding.

You know, I'm pretty dumb. Agility. Luck. I do fairly well in the luck department sometimes.

Well, I do consider myself pretty dang lucky in life. But when it comes to winning, like, I don't win very well. I've told you about when I buy lotto tickets. I don't win nothing ever. So I don't think I'll be applying.

But, you know, if you're in the market to attempt to win a game show for a huge cash prize, they don't say how much. You can sign up for this. The website is us.castitreach .com. And you can sign up. They've got a long form.

I was looking at it. They ask you for all kinds of stuff because, again, they're looking for people that are going to be entertaining on TV. So, of course, you've got to fill out your personal information, but, you know, social media stuff and a biography and, you know, what you do for work. Tell us about your family. How would your friends describe you? What are your character flaws? Some facts about you.

Do you like fallout? You know, how perceptive and charismatic and, you know, all those little factors I mentioned, do you think you are? And what would it mean for you to win a huge cash prize?

What would you do with it? So you go fill out this long form and like upload a video and you might be able to get on a reality TV show. Kind of like Squid Game The Challenge, which I don't know if you've watched any videos where people talked about their experience on that. Some good, some bad. I don't know. It's a life experience.

You're only on this planet one time. I think it would be fun to have somebody from East Idaho on fallout shelter so we could cheer them on. Yeah, that'd be great. So, yeah, if you're looking for something to do in life and I would assume you've got to be able to take a lot of time off. I remember when Squid Game The Challenge was casting, it seemed like they said you had to be able to take something like a month off, you know, like just drop everything for a month. It might have been even longer.

I don't know. Oh, OK, it says to anticipated to take place in June 2026 for a duration of three weeks. So you'd have to be able to just disappear for three weeks. Oh, and you cannot be or currently intend to be a candidate for public office. The one thing they ain't going to let the politicians do, you can't be on fallout shelter. All right, sign up.

Well, and if you get on the show, we will certainly promote and cheer you on when the show airs, I'm guessing in a long time if filming is not till June. So. Could be fun.

Just thrown it out there for those of you who are a bit adventurous. Um, all I want to do is take a nap. So not going to fill out the form. You, the Victor Wille show Friday edition. Thankfully, traffic school was pretty fun, too.

Thank you to everybody who participated. If you're listening to the show on demand, I post traffic school separately. So go listen to it everywhere that podcasts can be found. You know, it's kind of funny. I saw a East Idaho news article yesterday and people in Facebook comments will yell about anything.

Yell about anything. There's a story about a grandmother who had ordered a Barbie, you know, Barbie doll from Canada. And she was charged an eight hundred two dollar tariff charge from the shipper. And that's that's what happened. Now it was due to an error, but that's the story, right? So East Idaho news posts it and a number of people in the comments. Well, that's a wildly inaccurate headline.

It's like, OK, if you get in and read the story, you can see why she was charged this. What happened that it was an error? She did need to pay a tariff charge, but it shouldn't have been that much. They had put a decimal, you know, in the wrong place.

And, you know, that she ended up with an eight hundred two dollar bill instead of what should have been like eight bucks. But like, why does everybody got to yell about everything when it comes to East Idaho news? I love reading the comments because they could post, you know, so and so cures cancer and somebody's going to find some way to yell at East Idaho news for it.

I just don't get it. They're nice folks and they do a great job. So you should go check out their website. East Idaho news dot com. They're the biggest news website night.

Oh, as a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure I read that the most consumed. And it's because they do a good job. People are always yelling at him like, you're taking sides. And it's like, no, they're just reporting the news. They do it how it should be. I wish all news would just report the news rather than putting a spin on it.

You know, you go to Google News, type in a subject and you're going to get all kinds of different takes on it. It's like, just tell us what's happening. This is why everybody's screaming at each other all the time.

You know, oh, like Lieutenant Crane and I were talking about on traffic school. I hope we can get to a point where everybody can just get along. You know, it's just getting so exhausting, so tiring. So I'm looking forward to taking a social media break this weekend. As I have been a lot recently, you know, I think it would be good to post on our station websites and stuff on the weekend, you know, fun stuff. But it just gets so tiring. I got to scour the internet for content to share with you every day. And, well, no wonder my brain hurts at the end of every work day.

Didn't use to be that way. Or I could get more sleep. It could be that, too, which I also plan on working on this weekend. A little bit of rest and relaxation. So anyway, try not to yell at each other. Take a little break from that. It'll make you feel good.

I don't know. Watch some Beavis and Butthead. Yeah, that's fun to be had by all. Watch a little bit of Beavis and Butthead. It's a classic. They got great new episodes out there. The new episodes, I think, might even be better. Better than the classic episodes. They're so good. I think I need a little bit of Beavis and Butthead in my life this weekend. Sounds like a good plan. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Will Show, this program is a production of Riverbend Media Group.
