The Viktor Wilt Show

This episode of The Viktor Wilt Show detonates straight out of the gate like a sleep-deprived raccoon hitting the Reddit front page at 7 a.m., immediately spiraling into an existential nightmare spiral involving being eternally trapped in a looping school, an inescapable fair, missed flights, mountains, and the horrifying realization that some people just… don’t have nightmares??? From there, Viktor rage-scrolls a Reddit thread like a man holding a lit match over a gasoline puddle, discovering that humanity is divided into those who brush their tongues and those who should be publicly shamed, people who hear narrator voices while reading, people who don’t, and glitch-in-the-matrix déjà vu sufferers who may or may not be NPCs malfunctioning mid-simulation. As the show staggers forward, social rules are dragged into the street and executed one by one: fake politeness dies, answering phones 24/7 is declared illegal, parties are Irish-goodbyed without remorse, dead jerks are still jerks, and radio personalities openly admit they are attention-hungry goblins screaming “PLEASE LISTEN TO ME” into the void for a living.

The chaos escalates into a money discourse meltdown, where Apple haters, child-free philosophers, credit score skeptics, wedding doomers, car-payment deniers, Taco Bell delivery defenders, and lottery dreamers all take turns being wrong on the internet. Gambling is declared a rigged carnival scam, Reddit awards are exposed as digital clown shoes, and a house actively falling into the ocean somehow still sells because rich people apparently enjoy purchasing front-row seats to geological doom. Things then veer sharply into nightmare fuel when police discover over 100 stolen human skeletal remains in a man’s house, proving once again that there are levels of “liking skulls” and some people have blown straight past the acceptable boundary into “crowbar cemetery goblin” territory. Dating economics get roasted next as men admit they’ll financially self-destruct to impress dates, Stranger Things conspiracy theorists are told to touch grass, Ghost tickets are given away via metal poetry riddles, the studio nearly collapses when Jade possibly drops dead off-mic (he doesn’t), Bert Reynolds is retroactively exposed as a 1970s menace, and the episode limps triumphantly across the finish line with water tower discourse, movie recommendations, sleep deprivation, and the overwhelming relief that yes—thank God—it is finally Friday.

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.

Yo! The Viktor Wilt Show Friday edition, what's up everybody? Hope you're having a good morning so far and I hope you're ready for the weekend. I hope you've got a weekend ahead.

I'm definitely excited for that. I think this weekend I need to just relax. First week back from the holidays was a little bit rough, but we're almost done with it. And yeah, I need to sleep in. Sleep in late and do a whole lot of nothing. A whole lot of nothing, that's my plans. Alright, speaking of doing stuff, I just came across a thread.

What's something you thought everyone did until you found out they don't? I haven't even looked through this, so hopefully it's appropriate. But you gotta do what you gotta do when it comes to content on the radio, so let's go.

Let's go. Alright, have nightmares regularly. Yeah, I thought most people had nightmares somewhat regularly. Ugh, the other day I had the worst nightmares. One of them, I was just stuck in like a school and I couldn't get out of there and it just kept looping and looping and looping like I'd wake up and be like, okay, good, I'm not stuck in that school. Then I go back to sleep right back into this school trying to get out of there.

There's just no exit and it just kept going and going and going. I know it doesn't sound like a horrible nightmare, but it was because I was trapped. And then you wouldn't think that being at the fair would be a nightmare, but I had a dream I was at the fair and I couldn't get out of the fair. That was later the same night. And it just kept looping and looping and looping and then I missed a flight for some reason and I had to literally run like sprint over the top of a mountain. Ugh, stupid dreams.

If you don't have nightmares, lucky you. They're really annoying. They really suck. Let's see here. What else do we got?

I'm just trying to read through this and that's just too long. Let's see. That's sad. I don't want to get into that one. This is why you should review content before you just get into it.

Let's see. Have intense deja vu to the point you disassociate from your surroundings. Yeah, I guess that would be something that if it happened to you, I guess you'd assume everyone had that problem. I have deja vu every once in a while. Deja vu is really weird, isn't it?

What's that? A glitch in the matrix? A glitch in the simulation? I don't know.

Let's see. The broken jukebox in my head constantly looping the same stands at thousands of times over days or weeks. Well, that one happens to me sometimes. You get some kind of stupid song stuck in your head and it just keeps going and going and going and going and going.

Usually it's a song I don't want stuck in my head. Oh, annoying. Brush their tongue. All right. If you don't brush your tongue, you should.

Okay. It'll help your breath. Your breath will smell better and your mouth will feel cleaner.

I thought everybody did that as well. Let's see. This person says, hearing a kind of narrator voice when reading. My sister reads fast and I asked her, doesn't it bug her to hear the voice reading so fast and she's like, what voice? Thankfully, I don't think I have that problem because that would be annoying. I really need to get back to reading.

Let's see here. Experience goosebumps from listening to music. That doesn't happen to everybody. It doesn't happen to me often, but it happens sometimes. You know, music gives you the chills.

Yeah, it's good stuff. That's weird that that doesn't happen to everybody. Let's see. After waking up in the middle of the night, resumed dreaming from where you left off.

I already talked about that. Stupid being stuck in the school dream. It was so annoying. So annoying. I don't even want to think about that. This thread's starting to annoy me. It's making me think about nightmares. No good on a Friday.

I can't wait to get through today. Tell you what. I better not have anyone give me the irritation today. Oh, been a long week. All right, it's after seven, which is good. Let's get this day done. Let's crush it down. Lots to do today and I'm not looking forward to it, but we'll power through.

What is happening? It's the Victor Will Show. The thankfully it's Friday edition. I am so happy that the weekend's approaching. I just wish I didn't have the full day of work ahead. That's the part that sucks. Sorry, nobody wants to think about that right now because you likely have to deal with the same.

Hope your work day goes good. All right, let's take a look at small social rules that people on the internet say they refuse to follow even if everyone expects it. All right, some of these could be things you probably don't need to follow.

I would assume if people were willing to post, I don't do this. They have a good reason behind it. Or maybe they're just jerks. Let's see what they got. All right, let's see.

I don't play the Oh No, I Couldn't Possibly game. If someone offers me something, money, food, gift, whatever I ask, if they're sure one time and if they still want me to take it, it's mine. If their offer wasn't genuine, it's on them. Yeah, I guess you shouldn't offer things up to people if you don't really want to, you know, give it to them.

And I do think it's good to go. Are you all right? Are you sure?

Are you sure? But then OK to take it. Unless I don't know, there may be situations when it's appropriate to just refuse, but whatever. Being available 24 seven, I don't answer my phone if I'm already talking with someone else. I don't answer my phone if I just don't feel like it. You know, I was alive back in the day before cell phones. I remember what it's like to be able to just get away. Yeah, you'd leave your house and you were gone. No one could find you.

No one could do it. Sometimes you just don't want to talk to somebody. Well, don't need to put up with their crap. It's actually probably good sometimes to, you know, not only avoid a phone call, but maybe even a text message. You might end up just getting yourself irritated.

Let's see here. Staying for an entire social event. I leave the moment I no longer want to be there. Yeah.

Dip. You know, sometimes it's time to go. Do you want to get out of there? Yeah, you don't need to stay for an entire social event.

Just leave when you want to. Let's see here. Don't speak ill of the dead. Right.

Depending on who the dead person is, it might not be very nice, but I don't know if someone's a jerk. Yeah. I don't know. I'm trying to think if there's any examples of me speaking ill of the dead, but it probably wouldn't be good to give out the examples if I did think of one. So. I mean, again, if somebody's a real turd, you can call him a turd, whether they're still here or not. Maybe it's not nice. I don't know.

Let's see. Pretending to like people just because we're related. Thankfully, I like most of the people I'm related to.

I'm trying to think. I mean, there's some that I'm indifferent to that I'm like, you know, it's not like I'm going to go hang out with them, I guess. But it doesn't mean I dislike them. I don't think I have anybody I'm related to that I like.

I just don't like them. Thankfully, you know, if you got a good family, be be grateful for that. You know, every family you're going to have problems from time to time. Try to not let them get to you too bad. But yeah, I'm grateful that I don't have people in my family that I just dislike.

Putting your elbows on the table. People don't care about that anymore. Do they? It's not 1930. I mean, come on now. Can you imagine some like, but get your elbows off the table.

Younger people. I don't know if you've ever even heard that. Maybe it's something you tell your kids just because like you were told that when you were a kid, but nobody cares. Nobody cares.

Let's see here. This person says they don't keep it 100 percent professional at work. They still talk like a human being. They're always polite toward people, but they don't talk like a robot who's afraid of saying anything out of line. Good thing about working in radio.

This end of the building. Bunch of weirdos. So you certainly don't have to worry about people just acting like robots. No, a bunch of bunch of freaks. Anybody who's got the desire to have a job where you're like, please just listen to me, please listen to me talk. That's a weird person.

OK, it's somebody who's just, you know, they need attention. All right, everybody in radio, please. Listen to me. Come on.

I need attention. It's every single one of them. Myself included. I know it. I'm needy. All right.

Let's see. This person says when I'm leaving a party, I refuse to make rounds and say goodbye to everybody. Yeah, that can take way too long. And that's how you get stuck at the party.

That's why you just dip. You just get out of there. Otherwise you might not end up being able to leave. You got to just get get out of there as quick as possible. Bringing someone with me to eat or go to the movies.

You don't have to do that. However, if you're me, apparently, and you go to the movie theater, you're going to fall asleep, so I don't go to the movies by myself anymore. It's embarrassing. And you wake up in the middle of the movie like was I snoring? How badly was I disturbing the people around me?

And I don't know. I don't like to go to eat by myself. I mean, I get it to go. I don't want to sit in a restaurant or business just by myself. Just sit there.

I don't know. I'm uncomfortable with it, but it's fine. You know, nothing wrong with it. Just not my jam.

OK, I'm going to see what I'll take it find. The app about we got to crush this day. This day needs to be over with. Let's talk about wasting money. It's what I found to talk about. All right. I know it doesn't sound that exciting, but there was a post on Reddit.

What's the biggest waste of money, even though nobody admits it? And I got a call from a listener a few minutes ago who's like, did, you know, when you're taking a look at Reddit posts, you need to try sorting them by controversial and sometimes you'll find some good stuff. That is a good idea.

I don't know why I never think to sort by controversial, but we could give that a look at this post rather than looking at the most popular answers. Ah, let's see. Anything Apple.

All right. So we got an Apple hater here. You know, I've had a lot of different computers in my day. And when it comes to laptops, the one I had that lasted the longest, it was an Apple, so I don't know. And, you know, I've had a lot of different phones. And for a long time, I was all about the Samsung, but then I got this one dud, this one phone that was just an aggravation switched back to iPhone. And it's been fine.

So I can't complain too much about Apple. Somebody put having kids. Now, you wonder when somebody posts that if they have kids. What's a big waste of money, even though nobody admits it? Children. I'm guessing that somebody who doesn't have kids. Now, kids are expensive yet. Trust me, they never stopped taking the old money.

But I wouldn't call that a waste of money. You know, I think it's I'm glad that I had kids for sure. They're they're amazing. I'm super lucky to have the girls I have.

Let's see here. But, jeez, numerous people putting children building up your credit score. But yeah, you got to spend some money to do that. But do you want to be able to buy a house someday? Okay, I know that's tough in this day and age with the ridiculous housing prices and crappy wages around here. But you kind of have to. Okay, it's not.

I wouldn't call it a waste of money. Let's see. This person says any new car.

It's completely unnecessary. Okay, that depends. You know, during the pandemic, used car prices went through the roof and like everything else. Well, I guess I haven't gone car shopping because I can't afford to buy a car. But I mean, I have a truck.

It gets me by. It's cheaper to burn gas than have a vehicle payment. So I'll just burn gas driving around a truck. But there was a point when there were a lot of zero interest deals on new vehicles. I don't think people realize how much money they waste on interest. So there could be times when buying a new vehicle is actually you know, a good idea. But again, yeah, I'm not about to go vehicle shopping anytime soon.

All right, I'm going to sort it back by the top comments. What is the biggest waste of money, even though nobody admits it? OK, expensive weddings to impress people you see once a decade. You know, if you are trying to just impress people with your wedding, then yeah, that's a waste of money.

Just throw the wedding you want to have. All right, that's very different for everybody. OK, you know, don't do it for the other people.

Do it for yourself. Yeah, that would be a waste of money. Let's see, buying more car than you can really afford that would be a waste of money. Well, I mean, if you can't really afford it, you're not going to have it for very long. Buying more car than you need. Would that be a waste of money?

I don't know. I've always only been able to get what I can afford. Well, I see these luxury vehicles and things. I'm like, yeah, that'd be cool, but that's not happening for me anytime soon. OK, biggest waste of money, even though nobody admits it, food delivery services. No, sometimes that's great. You don't want to leave.

Bring me the food. I wouldn't call that a waste of money. What? I mean, yeah, it costs a lot more. Like it really sucks to look at that Taco Bell bill when you get it delivered compared to if you go pick it up.

It's ridiculous. But if you don't want to leave or I don't know, maybe you've been drinking or something and you shouldn't leave, then it's not a waste of money. OK. Reddit awards. Yeah, that would be a waste of money.

If you're not a Reddit user, you don't know what that you can like pay money to like give people a special little reward on their post. That's stupid. Gambling is absolutely a waste of money. Every once in a while, I buy a lottery ticket. Like a Powerball or something like that. Or those stupid Idaho raffle tickets that I wasted money on. You would think that I never win anything. Any time I buy a lottery ticket.

I just wouldn't do it. But every once in a while, it's fun to, you know, dream. Go waste $3 on a Powerball and be like, hey, I might win a billion dollars. I mean, you're not going to give a better chance of getting eaten by a shark or struck by lightning. But still, yeah, it's fun to dream. And it's, you know, three bucks.

But oh, geez. Sitting down at them slot machines. You ain't going to win. You ain't going to win.

All right. Hopefully I will win when it comes to finding some freak nudes. Kind of an annoying light freak news day. What the crap come on? All right.

Well, we'll give it a shot. Would you buy a house on a cliff? A cliff that is slowly eroding.

Now I'm looking at this house that was for sale in Cape Cod. It's right on the ocean, right on a cliff. But how many years ago did they say it was 60 feet from the cliff edge five years ago? So five years ago, the cliff edge was 60 feet from the house today.

16 feet. So it sounds like what's that about a year in about a year? It's going to, you know, be literally on the edge of the cliff. And then in two years, the house will be in the ocean. Well, somebody still bought it for a hundred grand.

That's when you got too much money. All right, I know this house is going to fall into the ocean. You guarantee you couldn't really insure a place like that, right?

No one. I mean, people in Florida are having trouble insuring their homes just because of hurricanes and things like that. What insurance company is going to insure a house that is guaranteed to fall into the ocean? Well, again, some people got too much dough. Yeah, I'm I'm just buying it so I can watch it fall into the ocean.

I wish I had that kind of cash. Let's see. Oh, this guy's a real real freak. Horror movie comes to life. Cops find more than 100 skeletal remains in Pennsylvania man's home.

I looking at 34 year old Jonathan Gerlach here. Apparently, police had been investigating break ins at Mount Mariah Cemetery for quite some time. At least 26 mausoleums and vaults had been forced open since early November. Yeah, this guy just racking up bones.

I don't know that. I like skulls and stuff like I've got some skull tattoos and skulls around my house, but not real skulls. This guy, they had about 30 sets of human remains.

No. OK, sorry, over 100 skeletal remains. Maybe that's 30 different people. Some of them 200 years old. I. Yeah, they found the guy.

On his way out of the cemetery with a big bag with mummified remains and a crowbar. I'm. I don't know what else to say about this. You know, that's that's just kind of weird. If you know somebody who's collecting human remains, I don't know.

I don't know. And he, you know, he looks kind of like a metal head. Just to be honest, he doesn't have the serial killer look. He's probably just a really creepy nerd. He's like, yeah, this is cool. What a loser. All right. What else do we have?

Study finds most people lie about this one major thing to make themselves seem more desirable. What is it? Hot money.

You shouldn't lie about your money situation. You know, that's going to just end up being bad. All right.

Yeah. Make sure to let people know like I don't have a lot of money. Otherwise, down the line, they're going to be like, well, you know, they're going to be disappointed. Okay. Let's see.

Men seem to spend beyond their means to impress their dates. Ah, yeah. Let's see. 46 percent of men admit they willingly overdraft their accounts to impress a date. Only 28 percent of women would do the same.

I can definitely believe that. Hey, you know, you. You want, you want to try to woo the ladies, you know, so you buy them something nice or I get it.

I get it. Might not be the best idea to rack up debt or overdraft your account, but I don't. That's a part of dating, isn't it? And it's not the dude's fault that everything's got to be so expensive in recent years. Still waiting for prices to come down. You know, what was it a year ago? We were promised on day one. The price will come down.

When are the prices going to come down? Sorry. Don't need to get political. All right.

A little after eight o'clock. I'm going to see what other dumb news I can bring up. And then in about 45 minutes, we got traffic school powered by the Advocates injury attorney. So get your questions ready for that. Lieutenant Crane of the Idaho State Police should be joining me. And it should be a fun time long as you participate. Hope your day is going good and I hope it's going by fast.

All right. I guess if you're one of those stranger things, fans. That were holding out hope for a new secret episode, you all already know at this point that that did not happen.

I don't know why people thought that was going to happen. I mean, you can find weird little hints and clues for just about anything if you're searching for them. But I watched the finale of Stranger Things. I thought it was good. Thought it wrapped everything up just fine.

Didn't really think there was room to add more. But I guess people who hated the finale were like, oh, it's a it's a secret episode on the way to redeem the season finale, which was just going to be something that Vecna did to us as viewers to confuse us. It sure seemed like a lot of effort into a two hour episode to just go. Yeah, we as creators, we knew it sucked. So, you know, we put out a crappy episode just to surprise you with a different one at the end.

That doesn't really make any sense. But you know, I'm sorry. Sorry, Stranger Things fans who were hoping in for a secret episode to drop on the seventh. You know, just move on to another show.

There's a lot of good programs out there. Like maybe you've never watched Breaking Bad. Maybe you've never watched that entire series. It's fantastic. And then you follow it up with Better Call Saul, another 10 out of 10 series. Or watch the Sopranos. Watch the wire.

Come on. Welcome to Dairy's pretty good. It's kind of in the vein of Stranger Things. You know, it's kids fighting monsters.

Yeah. Anyway, I'm sorry. But yeah, not every show is going to live up to your expectations.

You just got to move along. And again, I thought it was pretty good myself. Well, I guess that's your speed.

OK, Bear, your color number 19. Oh, man. Keep trying. All right. See you. OK, Bear, what's happening? How's it going, man?

Doing pretty good. Who's this? This is Andrew. Andrew, you are color number 20, man.

Nice. All right, Andrew, I'm going to play this club for you one more time. And a palace built of frozen tears. All life is gone. But between the walls of whispering frost, secrets live on. All right, Andrew, if you can tell me what ghost song that is, I'll hook you up with a pair of tickets to see him live February 10th at the Delta Center.

It's day, profundus borealis day, profundus borealis is correct. Andrew, congratulations. All right, man. Hang on the line so I can get your info. We'll get you hooked up with those tickets and who's your favorite radio station?

Everyone. OK, welcome to the program. It's the Victor Wilt Show. It's a Monday on a Friday. Jay's poor Jade.

You know that the technical errors never end. Guy's not feeling good. Got to get him walking around. The fun never stops. Fun never stops. How's peaches today? I just heard a loud crash come from the server room. Oh, I'm trying to see if Jade actually fell.

That was just something he dropped. Yeah, you should go check. Make sure the boss man's OK. All right, peaches is going to check on Jade. My goodness. Glad it's Friday, everybody. Tomorrow going to be a nice day to sleep in.

Maybe a good night to watch a movie. You know, I mentioned earlier this week that if you haven't seen weapons, it's a fantastic film. You should definitely check that one out. I need to pull up that list again of the best horror movies of 2025 and see what I've missed because weapons, which was at the top of many of those lists was definitely awesome. Have you seen weapons peaches?

No, I've been meaning to. What streaming service is it on? I think HBO.

OK, if I remember right, or Max or whatever they call it. Me and Aubrey are keeping track of every movie that we watched this year. We started the year off with 10 things I hate about you. OK, then moved to Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. OK, last night watched the classic, the old longest yard. All right, 1974. Wow, a whole lot more messed up compared to. I would have. Compared to the remake is there's a whole lot of language you're like, whoa. And Bert Reynolds, it looks like he actually hits that woman.

And you're like, dude, huh, this is becoming. Should we do that? Did Bert Reynolds hit a woman? I think he did.

I think it was a topic in a podcast that listened to a while back. Bert Reynolds hit. A woman. She smacks him and he grabs her by the face.

Longest yard. And like squeezes her face and then throws her to the floor. Let's see.

Look like Bert Reynolds has hit a few people. Yeah, I. Yeah, because that was OK back then. You know, right? Yeah, 1974. Oh, geez.

Yeah, it looks like Bert Reynolds is not necessarily the nicest guy, according to some of these articles around here. But anyway, yeah, looking forward to watching some movies this weekend. Need to pull up something good.

Yeah, you should definitely check out weapons peaches. It was a lot of fun. The ending was great. I really like you're saying great as in your kind of great or I can't imagine anyone wouldn't enjoy the ending of that. It's not like the mist. It's not like the mist. No, which I thought that was a good ending.

No, but cut it out. Even the long walk, horrible ending. OK, and I'm glad you reminded me of that movie. Maybe that would be a good one to watch. I spent 20 bucks to rent that thing on YouTube. Horrible idea.

Well, it's a bleak story. I wish I was more camel in that movie. It'd be fun to be like that. Just what's it called? Solace, like dictator.

Walk you losers. I'm excited to see it. I mean, I know the story. I've read it many times and I heard they changed the ending in the movie.

Which I'm interested to see what that means. Well, the book is you can't really put into a picture that ending. Yeah, you can only write that ending. True.

True. Jade's OK, by the way. I just saw him walk by. OK. I had already forgotten. I heard what sounded like a pipe fall and all of that. And I didn't see Jade for a good minute or so. So I was worried he just fell to the floor. Well, when Jade falls down, it sounds like when you drop a box of bones on the ground. So is that a stick? Oh, it's J. I mean, if it sounded like a pipe hitting the ground, now it would be more clickety clackety. Well, the cane. I don't know if the cane was made out of metal.

That's true. Or have you knocked something over in there? Poor Jade. Poor guy. He's the hardest worker here, I would say.

I know he definitely is. And I felt bad having to let him know, you know, about the technical issues we're having. I feel so bad when I let him down, too. I was in an email like, where's this? I'm like, I'm sorry. I was also crying now. That's OK. I'm usually like, shut up. Get off my back. Part of me also says that, too, because I said that to my own parents, you know. Dad, would you do the dishes? Oh, leave me alone.

I got two words for it. Happy Friday, everybody. I am pumped for the weekend. I mean, it's the time that I get to sleep in. And, you know, when you're younger, sleepings like, I don't want to stay up.

I don't really care. Oh, man. At some point, the time just hits and it's like, oh, sleeping so good. Usually, I only feel that way, actually. During the morning show, I just dream of sleep. Sorry, I shouldn't talk about it right now.

You might be in the same boat. My bad. My bad. All right. What's going on in life?

And I don't have any interesting there. Seems like it's kind of. Kind of toned down. You don't tend to see a lot of arguing going on or anything fun. I mean, a lot of people talking about the water tower being taken down. I don't know what progress they've made on that.

And no, I don't know if there are any plans to do anything with it. I you get on Facebook and you start reading through the comments and hold on. I get to these.

My goodness. And, you know, you'll have a lot of people very confidently saying that things are happening like, oh, they're going to relocate it and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And it's like, well, where is that information coming from? You know, you can't just believe everything you see online. OK.

So if I get any updates on them actually doing anything with the water tower, the water tower is very important to a lot of people in Idaho Falls. You know, I'm pokey born and raised. So I don't know. I haven't been seeing the water tower since I was a wee lad. And it's like, all right, you know, all right, it's the water tower. I get it. But.

I'm not trying to poo poo on those of you who hold the water tower dearly in your hearts. OK. I just, you know, don't have a personal connection to it.

So don't really give too much of a crap. Sorry. Sorry. It had been a long week and a long morning, but we're surviving, everybody. We're surviving unlike the old water tower. Sorry.
