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: Well, all here we go. It is Wednesday. What's up? It's Victor Wilt. I made it. Unfortunately. My bed was so comfy today. I don't know. It's just been a morning already. You ever just wake up right when the alarm goes off, like the first one, and you're just kind of panicked. That's a great way to start your day.
Sorry to Becca that I helped start your day in a similar manner. Um, you know, we still got a little issue with Millie and Lucy not getting along great. Millie is the dog. Lucy is, you know, one of the cats. And I didn't realize Millie was, you know, just kind of roaming free this morning, and I'm sure she heard me letting the cats in.
Cause the cats took their sweet time. I'm like, I gotta go. Come on, Koopa.
Come on, Lucy. And they're just slowly walking to the door. Finally let him in, and I'm like, alright, I'm out of here.
Go get in my truck. Happen to notice uh Becca had left her purse in there. So I go to bring it back in the house.
And hear the the very end of some mayhem as I'm unlocking the door. And uh Becca's wide awake because of uh animals chasing each other, barking and growling and uh yowling and fighting. Sorry, Becca.
I truly am sorry. So that's been uh this morning so far. As usual, I'm tired. Gonna try some caffeine. Uh, yesterday the caffeine seemed like it didn't make me feel very good, but it's gotta be done. We gotta get through this day. We gotta complete it.
So we can get to Thursday. Yay. Anyway, I hope you're doing good. I'm gonna take some ibuprofen because my back also hurts. Uh yeah, it's a great one here.
But that's okay. We'll find fun stuff to talk about and have a good time. Hey, what's up, folks?
It's me. Just packed with excitement that I'm here doing a show for you this morning on a Wednesday. I hope you're great.
And appreciate your company. Alright, let's see how dumb I am. What's common knowledge that you genuinely had no idea about? Oh, great. As if I don't feel stupid enough this morning.
Well, let's let's find out. Um right out of the gate, one that I'm guilty of. I was probably in my 20s before I learned that ponies are not baby horses.
Um I don't know why. For it was probably well into my 20s as well. Uh I just thought ponies were baby horses. That's why I thought you know uh you call a baby cat a kitten. I just thought you called the baby horse a pony. I know, I'm dumb. Alright, sorry.
Let's see here. That one's kind of unpleasant. Pineapples grow on bushes on the ground, not on trees. Yeah, you ever driven past a pineapple farm? If you haven't ever seen one, google it up.
They didn't look like I expected them to. Is it because of cartoons or something? Is this one of those uh Mandela effect things where there was some show back in the day showing pineapples growing in trees, but it was coconuts all all along? I don't know.
I have no idea. Alright, well, let's see here. Oh, this person didn't realize that islands don't float.
They're the tops of underwater mountains. Yeah, you ever think about that? It's not just floating around in there, that's why it doesn't move.
Uh, let's see. Had no idea the tiny arrow by the gas icon tells you which side the tank is on. It's uh handy if you're forgetful. Alright, in the Reddit app, the comment jump button is movable if you hold it and drag it. Okay.
I I did not know that. Okay. Let's see. Uh I'm not gonna read that one.
Okay, this person just learned that honey practically never spoils. Practically. I don't know. What what if you found a jar of honey that was uh buried in the earth, had been there for thousands of years.
Um, I I would assume it's gonna go bad eventually. Somebody else in here. I'm just here to find out how dumb I am. Me too. Me too. Alright, let's see. A lot of these. Yeah.
Jade would get mad if I talked about him on air. Uh, this person just realized that a quart is a quarter of a gallon. I guess I didn't know that either. Okay. I gotta get some caffeine in me, people.
My stupid Facebook messenger ain't working, which is the convenient way for me to communicate with people while working. I'm getting annoyed here. So uh we'll see how the rest of the morning goes. Alright. Check it out, man. There's a secret alien base on the moon. Yeah.
That's what the news says. Astronomers from Ukraine's main astronomical observatory have reported of observing more than 20 uh unidentified objects moving near and across the moon. Several months in 2025. Um of them they say were 15 to 25 miles across.
Miles. And this study has not been peer reviewed, but they're like, no, no, bro. We got two different categories of UFOs on the moon, man. Atmospheric objects that appeared stationary, and then continental objects that move across the moon surface, man. They get brighter and rotate and stuff.
They indicate structured technological behavior. And they could, you know, have come from a hidden base on the moon. Uh, yeah, that's in the news.
Um, they can reach Earth within 20 minutes, man. Hey, maybe. Maybe. Who am I to say that UFOs don't come from the moon?
I don't know. We ain't got any good quality footage. You know the government's got it. Saw an article uh yesterday about some really good footage of a triangle shaped UFO that the government just won't release. How anybody knows it's there, I don't know. I didn't read the article.
Because it said this is an artist's rendering of what they believe the photo looked like. Ugh, UFO news is such a nonsense. They I'm not saying I don't believe. Alright, I want to believe.
But they like dropped a bunch more UFO documents a few days ago. We didn't get nothing out of this. What what dull uh don't I don't know what uh phrase I was trying to say here. But what dull news it is.
Every time the government drops UFO files. Everybody was all excited about that. Disclosure, man. We're gonna find out the truth. Uh, as is usual with the truth about government.
Boring. I don't know when people stop calling uh the cops bulls, but speaking of the bulls, we got one of them coming in Friday for traffic school powered by the advocates. And he'll actually be in here. Uh at a couple weeks. Let's see, last week was via phone, and I think the week prior, uh, Lieutenant Crane was out. I think he said he was sick at the time. I wonder if that's when he busted his collarbone, and he just didn't want to admit it to me on the phone.
Or he was sick, then he broke his collarbone. I don't know. That's a question you could ask him about on traffic school powered by the advocate's injury attorneys on Friday. Was talking with Ben from the Advocates last night, my homie Ben. I don't know, it just seemed like uh good time to chat for an hour on the phone when Becca probably needed my help. I'm sorry, Becca. It was a, you know, it was a business call.
It's gotta be done sometimes. But Traffic School is a lot of fun. If you've never listened to it, it's every Friday morning, 8 45 a.m. It's an award-winning program.
You ask a cop a question, you get answers, and it sounds boring, but it's fun. Lots of people like it. You should tune in and check it out. We try to make it not boring, okay? And it's your opportunity to talk with a police officer when you're not getting pulled over. It's much better. You're on the other end of the phone. You don't even have to look at him.
Which trust me is a good thing. I gotta see his face. He's in here. You ever seen him? Weird looking.
And hey, I can say that because I'm weird looking too. Alright. So I hope you'll take part in the show this Friday.
All right. Lieutenant Crane back in the studio live. Let's make it awesome. Uh, he's also got the figure eight race going down at the Madison County Fairgrounds on Friday. And uh, Maddie's gonna be racing in it. Yeah, our own little Maddie Kid gonna be racing and destroying her Subaru in the crazy figure eight race. Um we got a few more tickets to give away.
Not a ton, but keep listening for a chance to win and go for free. Cheer Maddie on. Would you ever think you could put Grand Theft Auto and the phrase heartwarming in the same story together? Well, we can today. Cause gamers can be great. Grand Theft Auto players fundraise $50,000 for a sick fan just trying to stay alive till GTA 6 comes out.
Yeah! More than $50,000 because this dude needed uh needed what type of surgery did it say here. I mean, this guy's in the ICU right now. He's uh getting a lung transplant.
Um so are you ready for the graphic description here? This is from a uh TikTok video he posted just letting people know about his condition being bummed out the GTA had been delayed back when it got delayed the last time. He's like, my lungs are attached to the chest wall, so doing surgery means ripping my lungs from my chest wall, physically ripping them, then pulling them out and replacing them with new lungs. It's gonna be very bloody and very dangerous.
Um, they believe I will make it out the other side, but it's very expensive to get this uh kind of surgery. So somebody set up a GoFundMe page, and you know, I mean, basically at some point he mentioned I really hope that I can play some GTA 6. And they they heard that and they're like, we got you, bro. We're buying you GTA, and we're gonna you know help you get through this.
So, yeah, racked up 50 grand for the guy. And uh, I hope he does okay. Because I tell you, I can't wait for that day. If I get hit by a bus before GTA 6 comes out, if there's an afterlife, I'm haunting somebody. Ghost Victor coming back. Can ghosts play video games?
I guess you could at least watch someone else play it, but that's not that fun. Well, hello all, and welcome to the program, the Victor Wheel Show. I was just checking my email And it's amazing the things you can order a while back, and then you go, oh, I forgot about that. And then they're gonna get delivered today. Cool. Uh, sorry, Beck, it's just a couple more books.
It's not literally two. Not that big a deal, and they were cheap. They were real cheap.
Um they were much cheaper than say pizza last night. Alright. Ugh, I just woke up in a panic today, so looking at my email and seeing, oh, rocket money spent. Well, I don't need that.
Don't need any of that today. What was the other thing I was gonna tell you about? Dang it. It's driving me crazy. Oh. Totally had it. Totally at it.
Now it's just gone. This is why I need uh better rest, I suppose. Because my brain is just mush.
I'm dumb. Well, I guess I'll save it for the next break or freak news, whatever the heck it was. It seemed like it would be something good to talk about. I don't know. I have no clue.
Oh, I was gonna ask. Is your Facebook Messenger working? Like, I I guess I haven't tried it on my phone because I've just been using you know, Snapchat texting, but on my computer, I cannot use Facebook Messenger. And it's very frustrating because when I'm working, it's a lot easier to communicate with you people using a keyboard than using my phone. Let's see what happens if I fire up the Facebook app in my phone. Maybe it's a PC only issue.
Oh yeah, yeah, it'll let me uh it'll let me bring up my messages on my phone. So, hey Facebook, get it together, you suck. Fix your PC platform.
I cleared the cash, I did everything. Piss me up. Well, this roller coaster must be pretty sweet. If people are screaming so loud on this roller coaster that neighbors are losing their minds, calling the local authorities. I might have to make a trip back to Universal Studios Hollywood to check out Fast and Furious Hollywood Drift. Uh they've been doing some tests and things, getting this thing ready to go, and yeah, I guess the neighbors are like, it sounds like someone's being murdered out there with all this screaming.
So it features rotating vehicles moving at speeds up to 72 miles per hour, which is pretty pretty fast. And uh they're like, alright, I guess we'll we'll put up some more sound barriers so we can reduce the noise level. Sorry. Uh or you could move away from the amusement park.
Like, seriously. If you don't want noise, what are you gonna move right in by Disneyland? You don't imagine moving elsewhere.
You can avoid the racket, you can avoid the traffic. Yeah. The urge to go pay the price that you gotta pay for those kind of tickets to Universal or Disneyland. But yeah, this ride does look pretty awesome. I like myself a good roller coaster. My favorite's still uh cannibal in Lagoon.
It's great ride. Uh, and with the cooler temperatures approaching this weekend, I don't know if Salt Lake City is gonna be getting rain. Looking like uh we're very likely to get rain here in this region, but if you uh you were thinking of getting out of town, let's take a look at the 10 day. Uh the weekend should probably be rain free in Salt Lake, from what I'm seeing. Gonna be still a lot hotter than here, though. We're gonna be like in the 70s, they'll be in the low 90s, so uh that's a hot day at Lagoon. Wait for uh you know, fright mares.
Guess what I'll have to do. Alright, there's this online influencer who has a page called Booze Bag Fitness, and this guy basically was claiming he was taking steroids and heavily drinking alcohol while not working out, with the goal of eventually entering a bodybuilding competition. So back on Saturday he did it. Uh, he took last place. Well, yeah, if you're gonna sit around and get hammered and not exercise, you're gonna end up looking like me.
That's what's gonna happen. Alright, he's skinnier than me. I don't think he had quite the old man beer gut going on yet. But yeah, he just wanted to see how much muscle he could build just sitting there drinking booze and taking steroids.
That doesn't sound safe. He says during portions of the challenge, he was doing like 24 drinks a day. And uh during his cutting phase, he switched from beer to vodka and diet soda to reduce calories and get a little bit leaner. Uh he took last place, okay? You're not going to win a bodybuilding competition.
And then I think he uh got all hammered and missed the finals anyway. Um this sounds like a pretty self-destructive way to go via uh viral on social media. You gotta find out in a the niche that works good for you. I don't think this is gonna work good for anybody, okay. Don't just sit around and drink booze and take steroids.
Shouldn't have to tell you this. Jeez. Alright. Got a cybersecurity researcher who covered a Toyota in an AI-generated pattern to confuse flock cameras, but did it work?
Uh yes. Now, if you want to paint your vehicle like this, uh it's ugly. It's a weird pattern of yellow, green, and black. And yeah, it just looks kind of hideous.
And it also says it does that say donut all over it. I don't know. I I guess I would drive it, because if you're cruising down the road and simply being there, you're irritating other, you know, drivers and such. I don't know, it could be funny. Alright. We'll see what else I can find for stupid news and other crap to talk about as this program progresses.
My peeps, what is oops? The Victor Wilch show. Sadly, only Wednesday, but what do we do?
Crus forward. Alright, people are going to AI chatbots for financial advice. NPR asked, should you trust them?
Um, I'm gonna go with no. Okay, what was this story yesterday? Chinese farmer asked chat GPT or another AI chatbot about the best stuff to use to fight pests in his field. And AI gave him device that destroyed his entire crop.
Alright. And then when he went back to it and asked, why did this destroy my entire crop? The AI was even kind enough to let him know what portion of that cocktail of ingredients uh would kill. I don't know what they were.
Soybeans or something. It doesn't really matter. But I do not think that this technology has gotten good enough yet to where you can just consider it fail-proof. Alright. Don't dump your savings into who knows, some kind of crypto or stocks recommended by ChatGPT. Uh I mean it should just be common sense, but they're they're letting people know. eh, you might not want to do that.
So, yeah, don't. So sometimes Becca will talk to me in my sleep. Because she thinks it's funny. Because I will talk back. Alright.
I will certainly engage, but I have no idea what I'm talking about. And I'm usually babbling, just straight up nonsense. And she'll record it, send it to her friends and people like Peaches, and they laugh at my, you know, incoherent babbling about nonsense.
But it got me wondering like what would it be like to do a radio show like that? What got me wondering that is I'm sleepy. And I was like, okay, what if I fell asleep? And then like peaches or somebody came in the room and they just started talking to me, managed to not wake me up, but keep me sleeping and talking. What kind of radio show would we get?
What would I say? I would think I'd be having to sit on the other side of the board. Uh, so Peaches could dump out if I swore. Do I swear in my sleep? I don't know.
I'm asleep. But I do know that it would probably be pretty funny. And that might be a way I could get away with taking a nap at work. I'd be like, Jay, dude, this is a bit. Come on, man. Trying to entertain the listeners. So you need to let me sleep. All right. Why don't you come in and yap to me while I sleep? You could ask me all kinds of crazy questions. I guarantee it be an award-winning break.
Top notch. Alright, well. I don't see Jader Peaches stopping in, so I guess we're not gonna try that. But I will kick back, relax, and listen to Magnolia Park. When you walk in here, I want to scream too. Hi, Jade. What's going on today? Just give me more work to do. I don't know. At least it's not, you know, too difficult.
Yet. Wait for them. Budgets. Uh. Yeah. Just don't talk to me about that today. Nope.
I don't want to think about it. And he said it was basically fill out the form. Pretty much.
That doesn't sound too bad. I mean, I'm talking about you, putting head. Well, I was just reading, Jay. Let's talk about budgets.
Okay. Because I was just reading that uh Idaho is named by Wallet Hub the number one place in America to live, which is great. So we can have more people moving here driving up the prices.
Speaker 2: Websites with a bunch of lies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, best states to live in, 2026. Uh they said Idaho. Uh New Jersey came in at number two. New Jersey. New Jersey.
Speaker 2: All right. What's their metric?
Speaker 1: Okay. They base this on things like uh quality of life, safety, affordability, economy, education, and health. So they say that Idaho Um has the fourth lowest tax rates overall. And this is what I want to talk to you about. The highest medium household in highest median household income income growth.
Speaker 2: Very good. Supposedly people are making more and more money every year around here.
Speaker 2: Not in radio.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what's going on. And I have yet to talk to anyone.
Speaker 2: It helps if you have a high school diploma, Victor.
Speaker 1: Well, I I there is one out there, and they said I can come pick it up whenever I want. You know, they changed the rules on that. But uh I still don't believe it. Have you talked to anybody who's making more money right now all of a sudden? No. No! Where do they get these, you know, these pieces of data from? Now, safe, okay. I'll I'll say that Idaho feels pretty safe.
Speaker 2: Healthy as long as uh the West Coast isn't on fire. Well, because then you can't breathe. Yeah, and it depends where you're at. Or if you're like my wife, you're allergic to sagebrush, then you can't live here either.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's generally not too bad. Maybe if you're living in pokey, when they get that inversion and the pollution just settles into the valley there, it's like completely disgusting.
That can be bad, but no healthy maybe. But yeah, they're like, oh, you know, we've got high homeownership, and uh people are making a lot more money. Okay. Uh we have high home ownership because people are moving here from elsewhere. That's why. Driving up the cost of everything. Yeah, I mean, who do you know that bought a house recently? Not many. Exactly.
Speaker 2: I know a couple that were trying to sell houses that still can't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, trying to sell, sure. But uh, yeah, I don't have a lot of friends that are like, dude, I just got a big fat raise. I'm gonna go buy a house.
Groceries are nothing to me. Not with all this Idaho money. Give me a break. Go get an Idahome.
What's right? Idaho money. Is it like, I mean, Idaho's wages are so low that even if they did have the biggest increase, they're still crap. You know, this place sucks for wages. It always has. That's why the cost of living is like the the main problem I think that everybody's facing right now. You know, the price of everything and our garbage wages in this state. Can you do I we grew up at a very lucky time? My first apartment, a two-bedroom cost me $325.
Speaker 2: I think mine was $350. Yeah, dude. Two bedroom. Yeah, two bedrooms. You split up it with a roommate. Yeah, it was nothing. You can live on that seven dollar minimum wage.
Speaker 1: That was back when you could get ramen 20 for a buck. Dude, they're 50 cents apiece now.
Speaker 2: Little oven pizzas, 50 cents.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude. It's great, great times back in the day.
Speaker 2: The dollar menu was actually a dollar menu.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there is no dollar menu any anymore.
Speaker 2: It's the I haven't done a fast food drive-thru or anything for a long time, so I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, go look at the value menu.
Speaker 2: Oh, they call it a value menu. Yeah, they call it value menu. Not a dollar menu. You can get yourself one of the little tiny cheeseburgers for a few bucks. You need 14 of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you you know, you still gotta drop like 15 bucks to get full off the value menu. When I worked at McDonald's, we would have, I think it was one day a week or ever or once a month. I think we did 29 cent cheeseburgers.
You know, and oh, it was awful. Because people give me 30. Give me burger.
You're just churning in burgers, man. It was crazy. Uh those were the days. So anyway, everybody, uh, you're living in the best state there is. Wait, New Jersey. We're gonna go do that one. Yeah, you can try that if Idaho's not good enough. You know, uh, even though we're number one, the best making money.
Speaker 2: Who needs number one when You can have a number two.
Speaker 1: Where else is in again? The the list was strange because I mean, even Florida was on one of the top 10 places to live. You got Wisconsin at number three. Wisconsin is terrible. Have you been there?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the only good thing about Wisconsin is seeing it in your rear view mirror.
Speaker 1: Exactly. I have you been to Milwaukee. Yes, it's like a legendary city. It's the same as Wisconsin. Yeah, dude. Milwaukee sucks. Million Walking. I remember when I flew in there, yeah. I got in at about 7 p.m.
I'm like, well, let's go get a beer. No! No, you can't.
You can't. I'm like, this this isn't Utah. What's Minnesota and uh Wisconsin are way more restrictive on beer than Utah.
Like all you hear around here, Utah beer, bah for years and years. Yeah, go visit the Midwest. It's probably even worse down south. They probably have places where you can't even buy it at a liquor. They don't have liquor stores. Dry counties.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's plenty of those. Yeah, where I went down south, you can get plenty of booze. Okay. At all hours.
Speaker 1: All right. Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Wyoming, Utah, Minnesota, Pennsylvania. There you go. Uh, we've read a lot about Pennsylvania. Yeah. Housing is affordable there. Anywhere that housing is cheap right now, you don't want to move there. There's a reason the housing's cheap.
All right. You know why San Diego is the most expensive place in the country? It's nice all year. The Midwest. Dump all year. Gotta put up with a hot, humid summer and a terrible winter.
Speaker 2: Especially that stagnant middle of the country humid.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's so just gross, man. It sucks. So well, unless you're gonna fire me if I don't fill out the spreadsheets, I guess. I'm gonna stay. It is possible. Did you hear my new bit idea, Bill? Nope, I don't care. No, yeah, I gotta run this one by you. Because you might like this bit, and it's okay.
Speaker 2: So earlier I was Is it called I Do My Job without complaining? Uh don't bother Jade. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like that bit. Yeah, that it's part of the bit. So I I was thinking earlier about how I was tired. And I'm I don't know if you've seen any of the videos where Becca films me talking in my sleep. No.
Speaker 2: Okay. But I've gone to concerts with you, I get it.
Speaker 1: You've seen me talk in my sleep. Yeah. So what I do is I just go to sleep on the job. But then you or Peach, you just come in and turn the mics on and start talking to me. No, that's a terrible idea. Who knows what kind of crazy babble.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: It's a terrible idea. You have to have your hand over the dumb button. But I'll sleep, and you guys just get me to talk, and then I'll get a little nap in and the listeners get a good laugh. Because I I might say something completely unhinged. Who knows what's going on in my head when I'm asleep. You don't like this bit idea?
Speaker 2: You don't even know what's going on when you're head in your head when you're awake.
Speaker 1: I know. That's and I could listen to it back and learn something new.
Speaker 2: How much more of a pudding head you really are.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I'm working on it. The hard part is this chair is not very compatible with sleeping.
Speaker 2: That's why I did it. That's why you got me this crappy chair. I can't sleep in this chair, and I don't know when the last time. You don't need a Josh type chair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Josh's chair, does it lean back a little bit? I doubt it. I could steal it in the morning. But I'm certainly not laying on this floor. I don't know when the last time it was swinging.
Speaker 2: We missed an opportunity when he was gone for a week. We could have taken both their chairs.
Speaker 1: We should have. We should have hid them like in East Idaho News. You know, because he knows when it's hidden before he went right to my office. But if we put it all the way down in East Idaho News, hide it in Nate Eaton's office. Put it in the Storage container out in the parking lot. Yeah, the storage container.
Speaker 2: We're only going to have the key. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That's all right. Next time Josh is gone for a day. Let's make this happen. That'll be good stuff. Just a heads up. Gravity cannot just magically disappear and stop working. There was a viral hoax making the rounds yesterday that for seven seconds today, Earth will lose gravity. And uh this apparently triggered alarms across Instagram, TikTok, and X said that gravity's gonna disappear worldwide. Uh potentially sending people and objects flying into the air. If gravity went away for seven seconds, wouldn't humanity be over. I know scientist, I don't know, but people will believe anything they see online.
Yeah. Looks like it linked back to a TikTok post talking about NASA, a secret document titled Project Anchor, and the project's you know, budget and goal was to survive this seven seconds of no gravity today. Um again, not real.
So don't worry about it, okay. Hope the buildings bolted down good. I mean, I'd crash into some fluorescent lighting above me, which would be unpleasant, but um you know, maybe maybe if I could twist myself fast enough, I could just kind of lay flat on the ceiling. Maybe I could take a nap up there.
Why can't we get more than seven seconds? You know, I'm indoors, so I I think I'm alright. But could you sleep laying on the ceiling?
Or would it be too awkward? I don't know. But yeah, we're all gonna be fine.
Don't worry about it. Gravity can't just switch off. Um, Yeah, the the planet would need to lose all of its mass.
Like the core, the mantle, the crust, the oceans, everything. So it's just not going to happen. Okay. I did watch a really crazy video, however, of what would happen if a black hole happened to pass by the earth. Uh well, we'd all be dead for sure. But this video, it was pretty wild showing the earth distort and start spinning and burst into flames. Yeah. That could happen. Alright.
I mean, as far as I know. It's not gonna, but it could. Looks like it would be a super fast way to go, too. Because with the earth just losing its shape immediately. Um, yeah.
Unless that was a uh sped up video. I don't know. All right. Slowly but surely making it through this day. Let's keep going. Now I was gonna come out and start this break by saying, Hey, can you people drive reasonably in my neighborhood? Jeez. But I think you should drive reasonably in everyone's neighborhood. So I I won't be greedy about it. Even though I read this article at East Idaho News about somebody driving like a maniac in my neighborhood.
This was over on First Street. Woman traveling 90. 90 in a 30. And I know the exact area they said it was in. That is not a safe place to be doing 90 miles an hour. It's very close to a school. It's summertime.
There's lots of kids out and about. Time did they say that happened? I don't know why I can't bring that one up again. Alright. But on top of this, on top of the and I I hate doing local stories because it's always like, all right, is that one of our listeners? But if it is, shame.
Shame, slow it down a little bit. Don't you listen to traffic school powered by the advocates? You can't drive like that. That is reckless. Uh anyway, okay, it was 11 30 p.m.
So hopefully the kids are asleep. So she gets pulled over doing 90. Oh wow. She's facing 15 years in prison. Because she tried to bribe the police. Oh wow. Yeah, she got pulled over in in my neighborhood and then ran into the curb.
Interesting. But then she tried to bribe the cops, but with only 100. I mean, if you're gonna try to bribe the police, I think you gotta kick it up a little bit, Peaches.
Speaker 2: You gotta show off the chest area, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Now, Peaches, that's inappropriate. That's what I was gonna do. I I need to ask Lieutenant Crane on Friday. Okay. I know you're an honest police officer, but let's say I won the lotto and you pulled me over. How much there everybody has a number. I guarantee that Lieutenant Crane has a number.
Speaker 2: What do you tend to be Aussie? Everyone's got a price.
Speaker 1: Everyone has a price. How much is it gonna take, Lieutenant Crane, for me to just go about my my day and get out of here. I'm you think you'd do it for 10 G's?
Oh, easily. You think 10 grand? I would. I would. I would.
I would do it for 1k. I mean, I know that uh when we've talked with Lieutenant Crane about the Idaho State Police hiring, we hear about their wages and things like that.
Speaker 2: And he complains all the time about how they can't hire anybody.
Speaker 1: I uh know it's not only us that wages suck. Wages suck in Idaho for everyone, including the police.
Speaker 2: But at least radio we don't get shot at.
Speaker 1: Well, at least we say something consequences. We have dealt with some stalkers before.
Speaker 2: That's not a challenge listeners.
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, please don't bother us. Like, look just let us be. We're nice guys. But uh come say hi, but like No, you can't come say hi unless we're out at live broadcast. I got work to do around here, Jade keeps giving me more and more spreadsheets.
Speaker 2: No, I know like in real and out in public if I'm at like Walmart or something. Which I mean, it's rare, it's rare to find me in those places anyway anymore.
Speaker 1: So yes, yes, Peaches is doing the There's a there was some article I read about uh a dating, I think, or it was something relating to how you are being and just hiding at home and avoiding public. I don't I should have kept the article up. But anyway.
Speaker 2: I was born born in the the the darkness.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. So anyway, don't try to bribe the police. That's a serious charge. 15 years in prison, possibly.
Speaker 2: Only if you like have a terrible cop that won't accept the money.
Speaker 1: That's why you gotta offer him more. Yeah. So you don't get the charge. A hundred dollars. Dude, she was driving 90 down first street. Right by my house. Like, stop that.
Speaker 2: I live right by you too, so yeah, first street's right by me too.
Speaker 1: Well, and nobody should drive like that in any neighborhood, as I pointed out as well. You know, slow down.
Speaker 2: Dude, there's a guy that goes down my street, uh, revving his engine blasting music at like one in the morning. It's like, do you just all of a sudden go, you know what? It's time for me to go out there and blast the worst music possible.
Speaker 1: He's probably a drunk driver. That's what I'm getting. One in the morning, blasting music. Yeah. Reving the engine. Sounds like, you know, an annoying drunk to me.
Speaker 2: I should be like the guy that put spike strips on his lawn to get people to stop going on his property. I should just put spike strips in the middle of the street.
Speaker 1: I'll just cut off the whole end of the cul-de-sac. You know, you ain't even making it into the circle. Just stay out of my neighborhood from these hours to these hours.
Speaker 2: I was gonna ask Lieutenant Crane about that, because that guy got in trouble for putting homemade spike strips on his grass. Yeah. And people were going on hit that guy's property and going like, oh, the spike strips, you know, popped my bike tire.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because the kids were riding their bikes across the to get to the park. And it was in his grass, so I would assume you can do that.
Speaker 2: I was always told like be respectful of people's things, you know. And so if the if there's like his grass, I'm not gonna go on his grass.
Speaker 1: I uh I'm sure I rode my bike on somebody's grass when I was a kid, but
Speaker 2: people lose their minds about like dog poop in the yard.
Speaker 1: Dude, I ain't going in anybody's yard anymore. Somebody'll shoot you. Oh, yeah. Especially here. Look at all those Dingong Ditch stories where you know kids get like run over by you know maniacs chasing them down the road. Uh don't go in anyone's yard and slow it down. Don't be a reckless driver. That's crazy. Because if you cause an accident, that person injured is calling the advocate's injury attorneys. Sick Ben on you. That's right. What is he?
Speaker 2: A rabbit dog?
Speaker 1: He's a very scary man.
Speaker 2: Ben. Unless you bribe him with Smashing Pumpkins tickets. Then he looks the other way.
Speaker 1: Yeah. How much to bribe? Ben. I'll get I'll get figuring that out. Hey, what's up, Peaches? What's happening? You know, read the channel.
Speaker 2: It's your boy DJX.
Speaker 1: Oh, don't get me started on DJ X.
Speaker 2: I know you updated three different Facebook statuses yesterday about him. And people were like, who are you talking about?
Speaker 1: I know. Well, the funniest part is that most of the people asking who that was were radio people. Like, how out of touch are you with what's going on in the business? We didn't hear that Spotify. Well that that's been around for what, a year? Oh, it's been longer than that. Yeah. They implemented an AI DJ who's terrible. And I thought everybody knew about it.
Speaker 2: Very similar to how we should have uh, you know, cutoffs and age for people in politics. We should have the same thing for radio.
Speaker 1: I I think so.
Speaker 2: Top 40 DJs, maximum age, 45. Yeah, and you maximum.
Speaker 1: You've listened to lots of different kinds of radio, and you understood my point. That there are lots of shows out there that sound like DJX.
Speaker 2: Because all they want to do is put the money on the morning show. Yeah. And then these poor people who are middays and afternoons are just like, call in text in keyword this for iHeart Radio Jingle Ball, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just real quick, get in, get out, don't say anything, hardly at all. Get the point across and shut up.
Speaker 2: My friend John is like that. I should call and be like, hey man, you sound like DJX, didn't you amped it up?
Speaker 1: Exactly. They're like, that doesn't he starts going off. I'm like, okay, you guys aren't competing with DJX if you're doing what DJX is doing. And you guys all think because radio people, didn't uh crappy radio jock do like a poll? Cause there was some type of article that said, I don't know, it was a very high number, like 80% or something of listeners don't care about AI voices. And I know for a fact they don't. Because um on radio and TV, what percentage of the commercials do you think are AI voices? Oh, tons. Yeah.
Speaker 2: There's a whole Roku channel dedicated to AI generated slop that's airing 24-7. Oh, what was funny is I just got rid of a comment on our our K our K-Bear Facebook page, because apparently someone by the name of Tessa was bummed out that uh we use uh AI sometimes for like the chat GPT uh uh casting that we did on the New Hour of Madness and Mayhem where we asked it for who should we cast as us in a movie. And it says uh it's your guys' AI use bleep and bums me out or something like that.
Speaker 1: Well, I hate to break it to everybody, but it's not going anywhere. Right.
Speaker 2: It's not it's not like the weird thing that we can just ignore and it goes away.
Speaker 1: And it's not like we're printing out uh art and then going and selling it. You know, we use it for dumb bits on the air.
Speaker 2: Like the Ohio uh Ohio State Fair poster contest, some guy who used AI won the grand prize.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're not doing that kind of crap.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you'll see tons of AI flyers. I don't want to say this, uh I don't want to throw the Eastern Idaho State Fair under the bus, but I'm sure you'll see tons of AI flyers being used there. I see it all the time with local uh local quote artists here in the area.
Speaker 1: If you go out to any type of event where there are a lot of different vendors, yeah, uh AI slop all over the place.
Speaker 2: Because it's a whole lot cheaper for those people who could be struggling to use Chad GPT to come up with the menu rather than buy the board and put the little letters on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean, didn't you say you've gone into like crafting stores and they're like packed with AI stuff?
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, there's uh big one of your favorite stores, uh, should I name them?
Speaker 1: Uh no, they don't get no free plugs.
Speaker 2: Uh you know, it's one of one of the big one of the biggest uh craft stores in the country. Oh, I hate going there. Yeah, yeah. Uh they they have AI stuff all over the place. Yeah.
Um there's a local thrift store that I drive by every single day on on the way back from work to my place. Um if you go to a particular section in that place, you'll see like the stereotypical chat GPT generated images of like a gorilla wearing a suit staring at you. It's almost like a poorly done uh NFT. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think that it's gonna tone down in some ways. People are gonna get sick of the art because all the art looks the same.
Speaker 2: Well, there's something like a local convention, too, that happened recently where somebody was trying to sell like their AI generated quote art, and people were outing that person relentlessly until they left.
Speaker 1: You know, people we have if you're an artist, I get it. It's gotta be a frustrating time to be an artist. But Peaches and I are voice people. It's also a horrible time to be a voice person. Radio voice people like Brian who talks in between our songs is like K-Bear 101. Like, I'm sure he's lost uh other radio station jobs to AI voice.
Yeah. Anyone working in the voiceover industry, movies, uh, anything like that, podcast. There are podcasts out there that don't have real people on them. They have people talking back and forth, and the whole thing was generated by AI, and people like it.
Speaker 2: I want to make the most vulgar AI generated podcast possible and see how far I can make it.
Speaker 1: I know, but Chad GPT, like Oh, you can use Grok. Oh, that's right.
Speaker 2: that's what I use sometimes. Like if I really want to make like if I this is what people musicians can be upset with me for this. Sometimes I'll go to Suno, right? Uh-huh. Or I'll go to Grok first. Like, give me this nasty rap rock song, the worst lyrics imaginable.
It gives me these horrible, horrible lines. And I'll put it through gro uh through Suno and I'll listen to it and I'll play it in the car with my friend, like with Bryson and Charlotte. I'll play it, and then I'll pretend like, oh, have you heard this new one from Hollywood Undead? They're sort of like, what?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Grok, I've never played with that, but I I've read lots of articles about it, and Grok will definitely do things uh that other AI won't, other countries have had to like block grok usage.
Speaker 2: I I've I've showed you the uh the picture that I took of you here in the studio and I made it to where you had some uh World War II propaganda all around you. That was Grok, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Chat, No, chat, I think was that chat? I don't know. Might have been because I said make him a fan of insert country here in World War II.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a disturbing picture. I'm guessing it was Grok.
Speaker 2: I think it was Grok.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not Grok sending its heart out to me.
Speaker 2: You know how tall's the grass over there, Victor.
Speaker 1: It's a stall. All right, everybody. It was it was fun hanging out with you today. We're gonna take a little break from our yapping. Not really, but uh you it'll be a break for you. We'll be back in two hours with the noon hour of madness mayhem.
Speaker 2: I don't like these days because that we uh we have to do the noon hour early, and then I have to go to my uh counseling appointment where I'm talking the whole time. Then I gotta come back and do two radio shows.
Speaker 1: What you should do is be like me, Peaches, just stop going to counseling and just be depressed. Be a man. That's right. Don't go to therapy, be a man. Like, what's the singer of all that remains, Phil Labonte? Oh, I think it would say Elon Musk. Uh, I I think he's anti-therapy too.
Speaker 2: He was the one guy that said, put on my tombstone, never went to therapy or something like that.
Speaker 1: The guy needs some. Uh no kidding. And yeah, dudes out there, therapy is fine. Okay. Phil Labonte from All That Remains. We'll we'll talk about this on the noon hour.
Speaker 2: It's always the short angry dudes.
Speaker 1: You notice that? It is. You know, go to some therapy, Phil. Shut up. All right. We'll be back at noon. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilch Show.
