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: Howdy all and welcome to the Wednesday edition of the Victor Wilch Show. How are you? I hope good. Sorry I wasn't here yesterday. It happens sometimes. Thankfully didn't see any group or grief in the K-Bear group online. Where's Victor's missing another day? I know I I didn't want to miss a day, but sometimes it just has to be done.
I Ended up uh sleeping the day away, which was good, but I don't know. It's a bit a little bit mentally messy as of late. It happens. You get overwhelmed, you overthink, you get thinking dumb. Sometimes I go crazy. I you know, just need to hide. But I'm back.
We are doing it live. Looking through a slew of Grand Theft Auto but News. I say news because it seems like speculation to me. Like this game or this article saying that GTA Online may be sold separately. I where did they get that information? I don't know. They just seem to have uh been speculating. Alright, they also say that Rockstar confirmed that GTA 6 will cost $80, and that physical editions of the game will ship with a code in the box, but no disc.
That doesn't sound like a physical copy to me. And how annoying. You know, you're all ready to go. Everybody's gonna be trying to download the game. I would imagine that Sony's uh servers are gonna crash on release day. Presales go on sale tomorrow. Will that help you download it faster?
I don't know. I want to get the physical copy, but not if there's no disc. But again, this could just be speculation. It doesn't say um all right. Let's go to the Rockstar website and see what they say.
Okay. They'll have multiple editions. Presales begin at midnight tonight. Uh single player experience. All pre-orders and purchases before November 20th. We'll get the vintage Vice City Pack, a collection of items that flash back to win the neon burned brightest. Oh, I don't know what that means. Uh, you'll also okay, be able to get in preloading on November 12th to ensure you're able to play at launch on November 19th.
Okay, there they said it right there. Physical version containing a download code. What's the point? Here, pay a little bit extra for that for that box for you to look at. Well, we'll we'll see.
It doesn't say anything about the price on here. So that could again be speculation. We will find out at midnight tonight. But at least we're getting getting closer to that release day. Hopefully I can stop being an idiot and missing days of work so I can build up some PTO by then. I just I just seem to fail consistently at building up a decent bank of PTO.
Gotta go to a wedding later this year. That's like guaranteed to eat up PTO. Maybe maybe I can keep that to a minimum.
I don't know. But I'd sure like a vacation. An actual get out of town for a week vacation. That'd be nice. And yeah, there's your uh GTA 6 update. I'm sure we'll have tons of news on that tomorrow. Maybe another trailer, and then we're in the final stretch just a few months to go. Dropping in November. Fantastic.
Ah, dang it! I forgot to do the cat boxes last night. At least I brought the garbage out. Well, the chores never end in my house.
But progress, it's happening. Alright. Let's see here. Somebody asked online for the fellas. What's something society deems unmanly, but you don't care, and you do it anyway. Alright, how unmanly are us, dudes today? Let's find out. Okay, this user said, uh, oh peeing sitting down.
Okay. Um they even get into details why. Uh I don't want it splashing all over my bathroom, dripping on the floor.
Um, well, pay attention to what you're doing. Yeah, spraying all over the bathroom. That doesn't sound normal to me.
Might need to get in and talk to a doctor if it just spraying all over the bathroom is a problem when you're trying to go number one. Dudes. Alright, what else here? Things society deems unmanly, but you don't care and do it anyway. Showing your emotions.
Yeah, that one uh it can be tough. I don't know. It's instilled in us as you know, young men. Don't show your emotions. And then you let them build all up, and then you just eventually lose it.
You're just a mess. Ah, been there. Maybe recently.
Let's see here. What else is something society deems unmanly? Uh, fruity cocktails. You know what? Nothing wrong with a delicious beverage, alright. You know, where I've been trying to not drink booze.
If I occasionally go see Becca at work. Be like, alright, can I have myself a nice uh fruity beverage made with Sprite? It's tasty. It's tasty.
Better than water, hydro homies. Yeah, take that. Alright, this person being a cat person.
Yeah, dude. Dogs worship you. Like I to like I talked about many times on this show.
If you can tolerate a cat and their terrible attitude, I think that's even more manly than having a dog. Let's see here. This guy likes playing with Legos as an adult. Alright, it's fine. I play video games, you play Legos, whatever.
Alright. Okay, what else do we got that's not manly? This guy doesn't like competing with other men or being better than other men. Yeah, you don't have to be uh competitive.
Sure. Admitting you're wrong when it's obvious you are uh dudes, that's a good idea just in general. Not to not admit you're wrong, but accept responsibility for your actions. Yeah.
You're not gonna get anywhere if it's always everybody else's fault. Uh, this person has soft hands and feet, has been called unmanly. I'm I don't know. I would imagine there are some ladies who want a grizzled man with you know leathery hands. That way you know he's been out working. But some probably also like soft hands.
Uh you just gotta talk to your lady about that one. This guy enjoys wearing pink, fine. Yeah, it's a color of clothing. I would feel awkward, but I wear all black clothing. I feel awkward if I wear a white shirt. Uh this guy was told crying during a funeral is unattractive by a girl next to him at a funeral. It's when you tell her, Well, you shut up! Oh, maybe maybe that'd be worse.
You shouldn't yell at people at a funeral. Therapy, dudes. Therapy ain't bad. Maybe I need to get back in. Probably be a decent idea. Yeah. Here's another guy who says he's getting manicures and pedicures.
I think we saw something about that recently. Whatever. You want your fingernails to look nice? Okay. Fine. Fine. Gardening? Um.
I know lots of guys who garden. Feel feel free to do that, dudes. I think it's fine.
Alright. What am I gonna do with myself? I'm gonna listen to a song and find something to talk about. That's what I'm gonna do. I'll be back. Wanna spend some dough?
Well, today's prime day. Uh been glancing at that a little bit. Cause hey, might as well blow more cash. Nah, I can't really afford to do that.
Trying to uh stifle the old spending there. But I did stumble across a good deal on a Vitamix blender. I had one of these back in my married days. Like, you know, didn't other married time.
Now it's all good. But anyway, had a uh Vitamix blender at the time and it was great, but that uh left. So been keeping an eye out for a couple years on some deals and I don't know, maybe I'll have to take the plunge. Unsure. Unsure. Still expensive, but you know, those things will eat a phone.
That's a top quality blender. As for other deals, I ain't seeing much of anything. But I'm also trying to avoid shopping, cuz yeah. Need the dough. Need to stop racking up debt. You know, eliminate debt. That's what you want to do, right?
Get it lower. Uh well, it'll be interesting to see how prime day goes for them. Where I think money's a little tight for everybody right now.
Kind of rough times we're living in. But Prime Day is happening if you want to sit there and scroll Amazon all day long. Anybody anywhere else doing any deals?
Yeah. Best buy or something like that. Don't uh other places tend to go, oh, if Amazon's doing a big sale, we'll do a big sale too.
I don't know. Get your Christmas shopping done early. Might be able to find some sweet deals, and then you don't have to deal with it later this year.
So anyway, that's my advice to you. Oh doing better than yesterday, but I'm I think I still need another nap. Sucks. Well, I managed to complete a video game recently. I want to pat myself on the back for making it all the way through a game I purchased, getting my money's worth. That game being Resident Evil Requiem, which was really good. Really good game. The only thing that I didn't like is that there was not a VR option available. Disappointing, but it was still a really good game. Got me all pumped up to play some Resident Evil VR, so I did get a l get around to downloading Resident Evil 4 VR, which I purchased, I don't know, a year or two ago and then started and never never finished. So get that going. Something a healthy activity to pass the time in the evenings. Then I just need to get back to doing some actual reading.
I have read a few pages of a book recently. And a few is better than none. But I need to really get cracking on that. Hopefully, after I uh catch up on some sleep tonight. Maybe I'll be more in the reading mood. Didn't quite get as much as I would have liked last night, but that's fine. That's fine.
Could have been worse. Anyhow. Uh what else is going on around here? I need to find some other ways to entertain myself.
There's always those chores, but that's no fun. You know, any new video games coming aside from GTA 6? I should probably not even look. It's not like I got the dough to spend on it.
Keep ending up back, staring at those prime deals. I'm like, do I really need this? No, you don't need it, dude. So don't do it. You don't need it.
I need new earbuds. No, you don't. Alright.
Settle down. I hate sales. Because you're always like, well, that's the best deal it's been in a long time. End up dumping a bunch of cash on something you're never gonna use. That's that's my way. Look at all this this crap that I got sitting around.
Yeah, try not to spend unnecessarily today. Little Debbie fudge round cream pie is coming soon. Oh. Not available yet. Oh, there we go.
Poppy soda on sale. Alright. Curse the internet. It's not that good of a deal. You know You know what's a good deal? We'll listen to this little promo coming up in a second because it talks about free stuff. Okay, where shall we begin with today's edition of Freak News?
Ice cream shack shuts due to hot weather. Alright. Was over in the UK. I guess they're having like major, major heat wave issues over there in Europe. Saw an article about drownings on the rise due to the increase in heat in France. Uh, yes, be cautious if going swimming. Uh you gotta cool down when it's hot outside, but just make sure what you know what you're doing. Don't jump in a river.
Anything with any kind of current. That's a bad day when you can't even get ice cream. I'm guessing what, the ice cream it was just melting.
It was too hot to keep it cold. It's my best assumption there. Did I close the wrong tab?
Oh well. What else we got going on? A lot of political stuff floating around. Have you been keeping up on this whole reflecting pool thing?
Like I wouldn't go anywhere near there if you're planning on visiting Washington, DC. There was this was he an Olympic cyclist? Anyway, he got arrested.
Oh, he's an Olympian canoe slalom athlete. You know, he saw a loose flap of the coating sticking up from the reflecting pool, so he just kind of was checking it out. So they arrested him and charged him with a misdemeanor. Supposedly, seven people have been arrested for damaging the reflecting pool. Um No word on who those people are or any proof that anyone was arrested, but that's the government we deal with nowadays. This happened blank blah blah blah.
And I guess we just have to accept that as fact because we were told. Um I've read a lot of stuff about this reflecting pool thing. And uh to me, there's a scientific explanation, but maybe there is proof that somebody cut a 350-foot gash in this. Now, are there not cameras?
This is Washington, DC, okay. I'm gonna assume that there are cameras around. It shouldn't be that hard to post the video footage.
Because a 350-foot gash, that seemed like it would take a long time. You know, you get yourself out of what a box cutter, and you gotta get in the water to cut the lining, right? I don't know how deep the reflecting pool is. I've never been to Washington, DC, but you know, if we're gonna say that there are terrorists destroying the reflecting pool, just just show us the video footage, show us some proof. I don't like this whole world where we're just supposed to accept what the government tells us without any kind of you know, proof, without any facts to to back up these statements. It's really weird.
All right, what else do we have here? A giraffe is on the loose in Texas after escaping from a ranch. Um So they're searching for it. How hard is it to find a giraffe? Where do they hide? You know? This seems like it'd be pretty easy to figure out.
I would imagine somebody's gonna call. There's a giraffe walking down my street. It's not like a dog where people see him all the time.
It was down in Austin, Texas, where even if it's you know, kind of uh a weird town for Texas, I still think a giraffe would get a little bit of attention. But I don't know, maybe maybe drafts are really sneaky. And I think we mentioned this earlier in the week or last week. Uh tan fluencers are taking over social media. Tanning is not good for you, okay. Like any any kind of let's see, where where was the line in here? There is no such thing as a safe tan. Any tan caused by sun exposure is a dangerous tan. That's according to uh Dr.
Tola. I don't know how to say this person's name, but they're a dermatologist with Kaiser Permanent Lutherville Timonium Medical Center in Maryland. Don't get don't get a tan, just get the fake cream, rub that all over yourself, okay. Skin cancer is no laughing matter. And I don't know, I think uh pale skin is just uh perfectly attractive.
You don't need to be tanging, okay. Yeah, uh the article goes into social mis social media misinformation and blah blah blah. Uh the sun is not good for your skin, okay?
Sorry. Take a vitamin D supplement. Hide in the house. Wish I could hide in my house right now. Well, gotta make it through the work day. It's eight o'clock. We got this, right?
Slowly but surely. Let's travel back in time to crimes from the late 90s. They're apparently still happening today. This one's a weird one out of the UK.
I thought Idaho was behind the times, but apparently the UK, it's a whole other world. Got a man who has been sentenced after pleading guilty to the unauthorized mixing and selling of music CDs and thus breaking copyright laws. Uh, he was burning CDs and then selling them.
I don't know if it was on the street. What Facebook Marketplace? So they found out about this guy back in 2018, and I guess for eight years they've been keeping an eye on this guy, you know, burning Justin Bieber CDs and who's buying them. Who's buying burnt CDs off of the street in 2026? You know, and the article doesn't say how he was selling them. Doesn't mention if he had a flea market, you know, stall. If he was shipping stuff out through eBay or social media group, no, again, who's buying a burnt CD? You can listen to music like everywhere.
Again, this isn't the late 90s where it was either Napster or by the CD. Wow, how embarrassing. Uh, what did he get for his sentence here? And why did they spend eight years investigating this?
Don't they have something better to do? All right. He got a 26-month prison sentence, which will be suspended for 18 months. Eight, eight months in jail for burning CDs. Huh? Piracy. Yeah, it's a crime. It's not It's not victimless. Poor Bieber. All right.
So don't do that. Does anybody even have a computer with a CD drive in it anymore? I'm impressed. Somebody burned a CD. Well, let alone was out selling them. People are weird, man. Like, I'm excited, as you know, for say Grand Theft Auto 6 to be released. Would I stand outside of a store all night long to get my hands on a copy right when they open up? No. Just get my hands on it when I can.
But I understand people staying out late to get themselves on something on release day. This one, however, I just don't get it. Peaches, have you ever been to a Bucky's gas station? No, but I've been wanting to. Why? It's a gas station.
Speaker 2: Fresh brisket on the board.
Speaker 1: was Yeah, I was reading about a Bucky's opening in Goodyear Arizona, which is in the Phoenix area. Some people camp out for days. I'm not doing that. Days.
Speaker 2: See, I when Chipotle opened up here, I I went like two weeks after it opened and then you know, still waited in line. I was like, yeah, this is not worth it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't been there yet. Um but days. Is there anything that you can think of that you would wait days outside in Phoenix weather? 110, like 100 degrees at night, and just camp out for days. Anything.
Speaker 2: Maybe a meet and greet with ACDC.
Speaker 1: A meet and greet with ACDC. I'm really racking my brain on this one. I don't think there's any celebrity I'd be willing to wait that long to meet. Stephen King. I'd like to chat with him sometime. I don't know if I'd wait in the heat for Maynard. I don't think he'd be uh as nice as Stephen King. Stephen King seems like he'd be friendly. Maynard doesn't.
Even though I would like to meet Maynard, I think I'd like to meet everyone else in Tool before Maynard. But uh I think I'd be more likely to camp out for that than a gas station. I know they they serve meat, but is there anything else good about it? What stuffed animals? I just don't get it. They they just have merch and different food, and it's huh.
Speaker 2: That's that's pretty much it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've never been to a Bucky's, but I certainly see people talk about them online all the time. I mean, just going outside in Phoenix this time of year sucks.
Let alone just sitting there, just sitting there. This light in the corner is bothering me. Because it's uh occasionally flashing. Yeah, did you break it?
No. The bottom of it is coming off. Well, I tried to fix it. Yeah, I I pulled the strip out to try to.
I think it got screwed up with our uh business night or something like that. So I uh swap that, you know, I had the other two sitting over there. Yeah, those two worked good.
So, or well, one of them was that one. So I swapped it out, brought the good ones home, and uh currently fighting with Govey on getting me a deal on a replacement, but it was out of warranty by like two months. Bunch of bull crap, but it's prime day, Peaches. I saw and always buy a new no, I'm not gonna buy a new lamp. I know uh it's not as bad as it was since I pulled it out and monkeyed with it.
Speaker 2: I do love how Prime Day lasts for a week.
Speaker 1: Yes, and I've glanced through it in this day and age. It's like, oh, cool, I can buy stuff for what it cost a year ago. What a deal.
Speaker 2: I was talking to my friend Brian about like purchasing artwork, and so I was on this one particular website just looking up original art pieces, and of course the prices are outrageous, but there's a whole bunch of just naked people, and I was like, who hangs this up in their house? Like, who wants to see man at window? It's just a naked guy with his butt facing towards you looking back like
Speaker 1: maybe that's what we need for the lobby here in the building. Here in the building, some fine art.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was specifically we hang it up right before July 4th. So that way when the big the big guy comes through here, yeah, he goes, Oh, very nice.
Speaker 1: We're just classing the place up a little bit. It's hard, you know. Fine art. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: That's a good excuse. All right, there's also like there's like this one naked lady just like full on with her legs like this. Oh my gosh. I kind of felt like if Jade turned the corner, it would have been uh it would have been uh not not so great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I guess you can post that online because it's fine art.
Speaker 2: It's not somebody painted that, yeah.
Speaker 1: It's not a picture, it's not a picture, so it's fine. All right. Well, anyhow, everybody.
Speaker 2: Have you seen the uh the postings about how GTA 6 is gonna be $80?
Speaker 1: I I kind of guessed that that seems like a price for that game. I mean, all other new games have been costing 70 for a while,
Speaker 2: and also the uh there's there's gonna be no physical copies. Well, the boxes are gonna be yeah, I saw that.
Speaker 1: It's like why but there's gonna be digital download codes on the inside because they're really wanting people not to own anything anymore.
Speaker 1: I know it's it sucks, dude, because I like having a physical copy of a game. Me too. You have had many games that you buy the digital copy, and then for some reason they just stop doing the like Friday the 13th. My kids loved playing that game, you know what?
We paid for it, and then they just stopped running the servers. The game's gone. Can't play it at all. Can't even play a multiplayer.
Yeah, sucks. And why buy the box if there's nothing just to say you have it? I guess that's what it is. Maybe it could be a collector's item, but you gotta open it to get the code out. Stoop. You buy two boxes. Ah Rockstar, the kings of taking our money. Yeah, at least they're letting people like preload, it looks
Speaker 2: like that's the issue now with modern day gaming is they have to put the disc in or even just put the code in, and then you gotta wait and wait and wait for the whole game to download. You have to wait for your friends to download the game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I thought we were gonna play God of War the other day, the newest one, and uh I thought it was already installed, wasn't a half hour or so later. We're actually able to play. Oh, yay! You know, and we didn't have to download it. I had the disc. So imagine how long it's gonna take to download GTA 6.
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's gonna crash for everybody. There's gonna be major server issues with for the first month.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be awful. You you would think Rockstar is gonna get uh overloaded.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be like when a new restaurant opens up around here. The line is out the yeah, it's gonna suck.
Speaker 1: It's gonna suck. But who knows? Hopefully, they're preparing. You know, That's too many months, many months to prepare.
Speaker 2: We didn't expect this many people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe put it out on disc version so not everybody has to download it. And then they haven't said what the file size is yet either.
Speaker 2: Someone said 300 gigabytes, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to wipe my whole PlayStation to be able to put one game on there. Another reason that it's good to have the discs. Doesn't require as much hard drive space, but whatever. We'll just move to the world if we don't own anything anymore, Peaches.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. That's right. more movies, nothing.
Speaker 1: No, who needs to own stuff, right? Just keep paying. I mean, I don't know how many copies of GTA 5 I've bought. Not because I am part of the problem. I bought it for PlayStation 3, then I bought the revamped version for PlayStation 4, then I bought it for my PC, and then I bought the revamped version for P PS5. At least four copies of that game.
Speaker 2: I keep seeing that game on sale on Steam, and it's still quite expensive for such an old game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've bought copies for both my kids. So there's seven six six copies. Probably bought it for somebody else that I forgot about. Jeez. Well, at least I ain't waiting in line for a gas station peaches. You know, could be worse. I'm not blowing it on a beaver stuffed animal. All right. You want that brisket. Brisket does sound kind of, but gas station brisket? It couldn't be that it's gas station.
Speaker 2: People say it's great, but then there, of course, with every popular food. There are always people online that'll go overrated. I can make one better.
Speaker 1: I mean, it just to me sounds like gas station food. So I'll give it a shot.
Speaker 2: I mean, you say that, but then you on your lunch breaks, you you go to the Maverick down the street and get a corn dog.
Speaker 1: I know. It sucks. It's not a very good corn dog. Wow. It's one of them out. Hey, can we have some all beef corn dogs out there? Why are they all made with chicken?
Speaker 2: What's that one place that comes to our uh Fourth of July event every year with the uh footlawn corn dog?
Speaker 1: See, they got real corn dogs. I Yeah, I don't like the honey on it, but it's still a real corn dog. It's not gas station corn dog.
Speaker 2: I think when Little Russell worked here, he had like four of those on one Fourth of July.
Speaker 1: I'm I I'm sorta ready for Fourth of July corn dogs. I'm not eating anything. I'm sticking to my diet. All right, Peach. It's bad day for this guy. If you're out in the woods traversing, I don't know, our national parks, and you come across a call 'm' a vault toilet. It's like uh slightly fancier outhouse that usually smells worse than one. Well, if you drop your sunglasses inside of one, don't try to get them out. You fall in there. You ain't gonna be able to get out. And you're stuck in a toilet that does not flush. It you're just bathing in dookie. Alright.
That's a jankum bath. That is not good. So this guy happened to fall into one of these in California, trying to get his sunglasses. How long did it take to get him out? You just gotta feel bad for the sheriff's office. Gotta come pull a guy out of a toilet. They
said They said he was not injured, but did require a hosing down from the fire department before he walked away. I don't know if a hozen down's gonna cut it. Let's burn your clothes. Whole bar of soap. Those bathrooms are so gross. So gross. Oh well. Just
friendly advice. You'd think it would be hard to fall into a toilet. But we had a story a couple years ago where a guy fell into one of those. There was a bear in there. You never know what's inside of those toilets. Don't do it. Not only nasty, but yeah. What
would be worse than falling in it in a pool of dookie, then getting ripped apart by a bear. Yeah. Bad day. Just watched a pretty horrific video. Uh, thankfully I didn't get to see the aftermath, but you know, this self-driving that's available in some vehicles. I don't think the technology's quite up there yet. I
don't know if I'm ready to monkey with it. This video I watched was of a Tesla on autopilot crashing through a Texas home. Um, it is traveling at extremely high speed in this neighborhood. And um, was it the driver of the vehicle? Uh, she passed away. Oh no, it was the woman inside of the home. Jeez. Yeah,
again, I don't know how fast this vehicle was going, but watching the video, I mean, it was crazy. So might want to hold off. and I'm utilizing that automatic driver technology for now. Dangerous. Crazy. What
else we got going on in the news? Well, if you're driving around with drugs in your vehicle, storing them in a bag that says definitely not a bag full of drugs. Well, it's not gonna prevent the police from looking through it. And looks like this bag was made with AI, too, because definitely is spelled D-E-F-N D-E-F-F-N-T-E-L-Y. Definitely.
Yeah, I guess uh couple people were just sitting around looking suspicious. So the cops showed up, and they're like, what are you guys doing? And they see this bag labeled definitely not a bag full of drugs. Hey, we need to uh take a look in there. And also, you can kind of tell when you look at somebody if they've been using you know stimulants, they have a certain look to themselves. Yeah,
your face can just be suspicious. I hate to break it to you, but yeah, they're in jail. They're in jail. Because yeah, there were drugs in the bag. Doesn't
say what kind, but I'm guessing methamphetamine, just looking at the mugshots. Hope that Wednesday's treating you good. You'd probably be doing better if you were driving down the road in a banana-shaped convertible, right? That's
fun. Apparently, this guy got pulled over in his banana-shaped convertible in Billings, Montana. Says he's probably the most pulled over man of all time. So I'm guessing he behaves himself behind the wheel of this thing. I
mean, it looks like a giant banana driving down the road. Looks like it can hold about six people. There appear to be seats and seatbelts and all that. And yeah, I guess his license plate was partially blocked, which is why they pulled him over, not just, hey, let me check out your banana, buddy. Um, which if you're an officer of the law, you probably don't want to walk up and go, let me check out your banana, buddy. But
it's it's a pretty cool ride. I don't think peaches would be able to fit, though. Did you see the banana that got pulled over driving down the road in Montana? You want to see my banana? Uh did you bring some lunch today, Pete? I
got one in my lunch pail. Okay. Yeah, I was just saying, you know, Lieutenant Crane, if he ever pulls over a banana car, probably shouldn't walk up and go, hey, sir, can you get a better look at your banana? They peel you back for a second. It does It does look like a fun ride. This June, after all. Oh right, let's play some more music. How's your morning going? Yeah.
Speaker 3: Just full Idaho Falls Community Hospital Riverfest mode. Yeah. Presented by ICCU.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, dude. Week and a half. A week and a half till America's 250th birthday. And it all culminates with the Melaleuca Freedom Celebration, which I would assume is gonna be the biggest ever. Since
it's the final one. Yep. All right. All right. Don't
blow lots of stuff up. So if you've never seen it, this is the year to get out to Snake River Landing and check out not only Riverfest, but the Melaleca Freedom Celebration.

Make sure to bring the sun block, because uh, as I mentioned earlier, there's no such thing as a safe tan. So keep that pale waste white Idaho, just pasty skin looking like half corpse. You'll live longer. Skin cancer's no joke, everybody. Sun block up, bring water. There is a misting station, but keep yourself hydrated.
Speaker 2: Leave your your pets at home. They don't like fireworks.
Speaker 1: Dogs don't like loud explosions.
Speaker 2: Unless they were raised to be a hunting dog, but yeah.
Speaker 1: Or like tens of thousands of people. Yeah. Yeah. Dogs home. Keep your crappy motorized scooter out of there as well, so you don't run over a small child.
Speaker 2: Don't swim in any of the water features that are there. Yeah. Especially the big one that's uh really cold.
Speaker 1: And it you might get a bacterial infection or a flesh-eating virus. Okay, don't go in water. All right.
Speaker 2: It's a good fourth of your life. Yeah, just keep all your phalanges.
Speaker 3: Don't blow anything up in your own hand.
Speaker 1: Safe insane fireworks. Don't be traveling out of state and buying the illegal stuff, or just right outside of city limits. love I love how there are certain laws that they just don't give a crap about enforcing whatsoever. But be smart. They can arrest you for setting off them mortars. Plus, how many times have you seen mortars go awry? Or Roman candles go awry, Jade. Never.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I may not have ever done something stupid with those.
Speaker 1: Perfectly. No, no, almost burned down your neighbor's house. No. Yeah. Just go to the Melaleuca Freedom celebration.
Speaker 2: As you're blowing stuff up over the next week and a half. Be mindful of our veterans.
Speaker 1: I like to do it about 3 a.m.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Don't do that. Check on check on your veterans, your families, your friends, your neighbors that you served.
Speaker 1: Now there was um somebody who was just setting off a little mini cannon the other day. And I keep seeing reports. People I hear in a loud bang. I bet it's this guy with his little mini cannon. I saw it. I'm like, what are you doing? All
right, everybody. Get the full details on all of those events by checking out is it Riverfest Idaho.com. You got it. Or freelance celebration.com. And the link through the app. Or go through the app, the easiest way. And
if you don't have the app, you suck. Got Gotta throw out a quick you suck to iHeartMedia. Terrible radio organization firing people left and right today and yesterday. Radio don't need people, peaches.
Speaker 2: Guaranteed human. That's their slogan. Yeah. Guaranteed firings. iHeart Media. I Heart unemployment.
Speaker 1: I Heart treating our employees great.
Speaker 2: Now let's play the same five songs.
Speaker 1: Uh, their playlists are garbage. They wonder why they're not succeeding. Garbage playlists and no staff.
Speaker 2: Nothing uh there's a lot of things around here that I don't like, but nothing comes close to trying to be an iHeart employee that has to write these blog posts every single day. My friend Randy had to do that for a while, and he wrote a blog post about my animal fry order at In N Out because I used to get like extra everything. And he made a whole article about it. I'm
sure it's still up there. But luckily he got out of iHeart, he quit. So he was one of the few that like went out on his own terms. Nice. And now he works for a podcasting company.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Town Square makes people write uh articles every day, too. And then they post them, they post them across all of their websites. Yeah, and it gets to be in really weird because they'll use these opinion pieces from like talk radio, you know, which is very, very biased. Yeah, you know how talk radio is, it's all right wing. So they'll post those articles on like the rock station web page, and then make them share them on social media, and they're the type of articles that would cause people to start screaming at each other.
Speaker 2: But they're also uploading these like every 20 minutes.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, it's relentless, nothing to do with the station, it's just news and politics, and you know, occasionally I'll post something on my personal page that has something to do with politics, but not on the radio station page. Yeah,
yeah. You know, we post about giveaways and rock stuff or something stupid that might entertain you. Nobody want to read there. are so many places you can go read about the garbage state of the world. The
rock station websites know where you need it. You want that to be an escape. Yeah, it should be, should be, but iHeart is dumb. It's garbage company, they're terrible, they're absolutely terrible. Anything attached to them, it's just not good.
Speaker 2: So there was one person pointing out the fact that like iHeartMedia must think people are stupid because they always try to say, Oh, we're we're realigned, we're realigning, we're doing all this stuff. But it's just you're firing your employees. That's all you're doing.
Speaker 1: Oh, there's a lot of buzzwords in radio.
Speaker 2: It just just be blunt about it. Yeah, tell people that you're you're just making them exit, quote unquote, exit for no reason.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exit. Yeah, that's uh one of radio's favorite words. So and so has exited the company, makes it sound like they walked out the door, like peace out. No, they got fired. They got fired, and the company uses those buzzwords so they don't sound as bad. You
know, a riff, a reduction in four sounds better than mass firings, and that's what they're doing right now mass firings. Some people who had been in their jobs for over 30 years. I know, it's ridiculous. It's crazy.
Speaker 2: You think at that point they would also just retire too, I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would think, but yeah, iHeart, just sell your company. There's so many radio companies out there that they're they're doing all the wrong things, and they just keep digging themselves deeper and deeper and just give up. Hopefully they just give up. There are stations here in town that I go, why are you still trying? Give up. It is true, just give up.
Speaker 2: I've seen the social posts from these other stations, and it's not not the ones here in the building, but the cross town or whatever, and it's just awful.
Speaker 1: Well, when you're down to like one staff member trying to do everything, trying to run you know every radio station in the building, and uh, you know, you don't have the listenership, just call it quits. Nothing wrong with throwing in the towel every once in a while. If things ain't working out, uh, exit your favorite word, radio. Let's
talk to uh ownership and management. Exit. There you go. Just give up. Stop. So uh my thoughts are with the numerous iHeartMed employees who are being uh what uh reassign. Yeah, well one of my uh What other words are they using?
Speaker 2: One of my radio friends, Erica, she got to be in Salt Lake City for 13 months before iHeart just laid her off, laid the co-host off. And I don't know where the co-host is at. Hopefully he's doing well, but uh Erica is now a part of the slacker show in Denver. Yeah, they seem to be doing all right.
Speaker 1: These guys gotta move all over the country to follow a job. And you're just gambling. Forget it. If I ever get the boot around here, you think I'm gonna move to Arkansas to do iHeartRadio? No, absolutely not. I'll go sell cars or something.
Speaker 2: See, you want to reach that level of radio where you're like, hey, you know, where wherever I go, my audience will. I hope so. My audience wilt.
Speaker 1: My audience, they'd probably be like, finally, he's gonna shut up. Had it with his crap.
Speaker 2: I'm not taking over the morning show, too. I'm not doing mornings, afternoons on K-Bear, and then afternoons also on Z.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm doing everything I can, Peaches, to get myself fired. So you have more and more work. No, I need to be here. I need the money.
