The Viktor Wilt Show daily recap! If you miss the show weekdays from 6A-10A MST, you've come to the right place.
When is that band going to announce some more tour dates? They did not come anywhere close to here on the last tour, and that is disappointing. I am talking about Ghost. Ugh. Anyway, tons of great shows coming up. If you missed my last break about all of the shows we're giving away tickets to this week, well, I'll talk a bit... Talk about it again later. All right? I just talked about it. Okay. Looking at a thread here about universally acclaimed masterpieces that you do not understand the hype for. What's a universally acclaimed masterpiece I would not understand the hype for? A masterpiece. Hmm. I'm gonna have to think on this while I read through some of the other responses here. Maybe this will be a good brain exercise to wake me up for the day. We'll see. Little Sebastian. I have never even heard of this, so I can't imagine that it's universally acclaimed. Let me Google this. What is it? Little Sebastian. Um. A recurring character in the show Parks and Recreation. Okay. Um,
I, I don't think that, uh, that is a universally acclaimed masterpiece. I, I don't know. Let's see. Suits. It's just a soap with people constantly storming into offices with shocking twists that make no sense. Suits? I, I may have heard of this show. But again, "universally acclaimed masterpiece". Hmm. I mean, it's only got 91% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Is that universally acclaimed? I don't know. All right, so far striking out on anything I'm familiar with here. Uh, yeah, it's a Netflix show. Okay. I dunno, I never see it in those lists next to Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, you know, The Wire. It's never in those lists. So, hmm. Let's see. Blade Runner. All right, uh, it's been so long since I watched it, uh, I'd need to go back again to understand the hype. Okay, the Mona Lisa. All right, I, I've never seen it in person but I hear it's underwhelming in person, uh, 'cause it's, you know, just a small painting. All right, uh, let's see. Jo- Jackson Pollock's spatter plain- paintings. Um. Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of art that is like... You know, it almost looks like anyone could do it. I, I could understand the lack of understanding for universal acclaim for that kind of thing. The Avatar movies, I don't think universally acclaimed. I know a lot of people that don't like 'em. Well, let's see here. Apple phones, definitely not universally acclaimed. I know plenty of people that don't like 'em. But after my last Samsung dud, I just had to switch back. Just had to switch back. Titanic. Uh, are they talking about the movie or the actual boat? [laughs] I would assume the movie. A- another one that I haven't seen in long enough. I would imagine if I went back and watched it now I probably, uh, would not be too impressed. Oppenheimer an absolute chore to get through. I liked it. I didn't think it was, uh, quite as good as the hype, but I, I thought it was a good movie. I know Peaches would agree with this one, 2001: A Space Odyssey. I know he doesn't like that movie. He's talked about having to watch it in school. Did not enjoy it. Let's see here. Hollow Knight. All right, you know, those type of games are not for everybody. Difficult games, old-school style, you know, Metroidvania. I've never played through the game, but, uh, I, I could understand why some people who, uh, are not into super difficult video games would not enjoy that one. Or if you're just not into old-school style gaming. Same with Undertale, another one somebody listed here, which I do think is an, an awesome game. It was really good, really good. All right. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Touted by Tarantino himself as his masterpiece. I thought that movie was really good. I need to watch it again. Only seen it once. Hereditary, y'all know how I feel about that movie. It is a masterpiece, but I could also get why some people wouldn't like it. You know? A24 movies, they're not for everyone. All right. I'm just kind of, uh, getting rolling here. Okay, people? We'll see what we can find for crap to talk about. We're gonna power through Monday. We're gonna crush it down and be done with it. And, uh, I hope you're feeling good today. All right? Hit me up if you want. I'm here, doing it live. Well, I wanna thank Stewart for sending me the video of country artist Zach Bryan angrily climbing a fence to try to, uh, get into a little altercation with fellow country artist Gavin Adcock. Um [laughs]. But what am I supposed to say? You know? This is a good day for country radio DJs but most of our listeners probably aren't familiar with these artists. There's been a lot of drama going on in the country world as of late. Not near as much in the rock world. You
know? Like, in the rock world you'll see people saying something like political and then somebody else disagrees. Or maybe you got Ronnie Radke who just gets in fights with everybody for no apparent reason, but... Yeah. Country world, we're seeing a lot of, uh, you know, disagreements between some of the mainstream more pop-y country artists and the kinda underground traditional country sounds. Like there's another guy named Charlie Crockett who was also fighting with Gavin Adcock last week. You know, I keep up to date on all this stuff 'cause I just get pummeled with news from every format of music. And, uh,
you know-
[heavy metal music] Good on 'em! I mean, there haven't been any violent altercations or anything like that, but, you know, I'd like to see some discussion about what's happening in the format. You know, you got some guys like, "That guy's a poser. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." And I don't know, I just, I, I enjoy a good feud, you know? As long as nobody gets hurt. A little bit of smack talk never hurts anybody. I mean, back in the day, Jade's band and my band, we talked crap about each other relentlessly. Relentlessly! And then we'd go play shows, and guess what? They would be packed because both fan bases would show up. And they were always cool to each other, you know? We never had any, uh, problems between fans or anything like that. But it got a little bit of buzz going. You know? Jump on, troll 'em online a little bit. His fans be getting all mad.
Maybe write some nasty songs about each other. It's fun stuff. You know, as long as you keep it tame and you don't engage in, uh, stupid behavior that, uh, could lead to, I don't know, somebody getting thrown in jail or something [laughs]. Anyway, we're just getting rolling a little after 7:00. I am hoping today just rockets by. I'm ready to get back home. I'm sure you're feeling that way as well, being up at this particular hour. Uh, I hope your workday goes fast, or whatever you got going on. Hope everything goes good. It's gonna be a good Monday, all right? It's gonna be great. I'm optimistic, and I'm gonna try to just stay optimistic and positive. Seething with positivity today, at least so far. We'll see. Peaches hasn't got here yet [laughs]. Just playing, Peaches. Peaches should be in a good mood. He got himself a new computer over the weekend. He got it all set up. You know, I gave him this desk a while back that, uh, it's li- it's like optimal for a single monitor setup. So, hopefully he's really enjoying it and it, uh, worked out for him and he had a good weekend gaming. I did a tiny bit of gaming this weekend. Played a little bit of Red Dead 2 one morning. Uh, was it Saturday morning? Maybe Sunday morning, as we were just kinda getting rolling for the day. And I just wandered around and, uh, gathered plants and hunted. Yes, very chill. Very chill. Uh, if you're looking for something zen to do, Red Dead 2. It's always a nice, uh, zen thing to calm the mind. Anyway, I'm gonna try to dig up something to actually talk about here in a minute, all right? [heavy metal music] What is up, my folks? How's it going? Happy Monday to you. All right. Currently working on digging up some freak news. So far, kind of a light news day, which is, uh, unfortunate. You know, rolling out of the weekend, you generally hope are gonna rack up a whole bunch of crazy stuff to talk about, but apparently, not yet. I'll keep digging, though. Freak news coming up, you know, in 10 minutes or so. In the meantime, one of the places I was looking for some, uh, wacky news was eastidahonews.com. Sometimes, crazy stuff goes down, even right around here. You know, and I, I tend to avoid a lot of those stories 'cause generally, you know, it's one of the KBER listeners who ends up, uh, knowing somebody that we've discussed or things like that. So, if I'm gonna talk local, I tend to look at things like, you know, East Idaho Eats, where, you know, they talk about new restaurants and such in the area. Like, I was looking at this new food truck. You know, at breakfa- breakfast time, if you see pictures of, uh, ice cream sundae crepes, you're gonna be like, "Yeah, that looks great." Uh, this is all the way out in Alta, which is a good drive. You know, you wanna get out of town, cruise out to the Teton Valley. I could really use just a road trip, little drive through the mountains. Maybe cruising out that way and stopping by The French Crepe food trailer. Yeah. They got, uh, all kinds of delicious looking stuff. And you don't think of a lot happening out in Alta, 'cause there's like nothing out there, but it's really beautiful area. And you can get yourself a, uh, delicious crepe while you're at it, from The French Crepe. Yeah, East Idaho News, letting you know about, you know, delicious places you can go mow down some food. And eating is good! Yeah, I know! You ever thought about that? Eating's good. All right, I'm gonna get back to trying to find freak news, okay? [heavy metal music] Holy crap, I cannot believe it's almost 8:00 already. I hope that, unlike me, you have accomplished some things with your morning so far.
I mean, I guess I've done the show, so that's better than nothing. But, yeah. Anyway, what do we got going on in stupid news? All right. Um,
yeah, I could've told you this one, though I wouldn't have expected it. Washington State hitting the highest gas prices in the country, surpassing even California. Yeah, recently drove through Washington State. The minute you cross the border, gas jumps up by like a dollar. And, uh, it looks like the average price there, about $4.66. Now, I think that we still have pretty high gas prices here, uh, compared to the rest of the country, at least last I saw. But this article doesn't have a link to, you know, wherever they pulled this information from, so, uh, hopefully it- it's true. And I'm just gonna assume that KOMO News is not lying. But, you know... Oh, that's according to AAA. All right, state gas price averages. Let's, uh, sort this. Okay, Idaho's, ooh, number eight. Eighth, eighth highest prices in the country.[heavy metal music] You wanna get yourself some cheap gas, you gotta go to where it's miserable, Mississippi. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So, anyway, hey! We're number eight! It's a good thing that we have some of the highest wages in the country
and, uh, you know, an affordable cost of living here, right? Doin' great. Okay, what else do we have? [rock music] Sorry, I'll try to find somethin' that's not gonna make you mad. Okay, are you awake right now? Did you wake up free of having someone hit you in the head with a hatchet while you were sleeping? If so, you're havin' a better morning than this guy. Yeah, um, this dude, uh, his girlfriend just hit him in the head with a hatchet [laughs] at about 5:30 AM. He was just sleepin'. You know? What happened here? He woke to, uh, you know, her yellin' at him, and then she just bam, down with the hatchet. Ugh. Said he couldn't see what she hit, but heard a sound like splitting wood. Holy cow. Man. Um, almost lost a couple fingers. Uh, looks like they were able to put his, uh, fingers back on, and, uh, you know, staple his head back together. He's okay, but it's a bad way to wake up. You know? Thought the alarm clock was annoying this morning, but I'll take that over a hatchet [laughs] any day. All right? Don't have to call Jade, "Jade, I couldn't get in today. There's a hole in my head."
She's like, "Dude, you're- you're low on the, uh, the time off. I'm think I'm gonna have to have you come in." Like, "D- dude, there's gonna be blood all over the studio, man. Come on." All right, what else is going on here in the news? Rolling Stone and Billboard suing Google over their AI overviews. Now, we've talked a lot about AI overview recently, because seems like every time I pull it up, it's filled with misinformation or just completely incorrect info. Well, now, a lot of companies, because this AI, you know, like, crawls through the internet, digs up a bunch of information, and people are just taking that at face value. Uh, places like Rolling Stone and Billboard are saying, you know, Google's preventing traffic from coming to their websites. Yet, don't just believe the Google AI overview. It's filled with a bunch of trash. All right? I've seen it time and time again. And, uh, sure, support websites by going to them, I suppose. Um, I'll get into some of this other dumb news here in a minute. But it's 8:00, it's a good time to play some music, and I feel like listening to some new Nine Inch Nails. How about you? Sound good? I hope so, 'cause that's what we're gonna do. [heavy metal music] Well, morning everybody. What up? It's Victor Wilt, this is my show. I hope Monday's been good for you so far. I was just looking at an article encouraging parents to talk to their kids about AI. Which you should. The technology is advancing at a very fast pace and it's getting harder to understand at quick glance whether or not something is real or not. You know, we talked about Google AI and the misinformation it puts out. People are taking it at face value. Over the weekend, however, I saw a number of posts on my social media feed
that were, you know, AI created- Oh, yeah. ... and tons of, not children, but grown people just sharing them as factual information. So, we need to talk to everybody about this, not just kids. All right? We need to talk to, uh, not only grandma and grandpa. But no, people my age, people of all ages. 'Cause, I mean, some of this stuff, it should be blatantly clear that it's AI, but there are other things that are a- a little bit more tricky. And people don't tend to, you know, dig deep into a variety of Google search results to determine whether or not something is real. Okay? Like, I- I think the last time
that I saw a just blatant Google AI, you know, paragraph of misinformation was, there was an article about a Florida man who had made a guitar out of human bones, and it- it was completely fake. Completely fake. But Google AI said it was legit. You had to scroll down a little bit and start digging into a variety of stories before it came out, "Hey, th- this was, you know, just an internet prank. Okay? It's not real." So, yes, talk to your children about AI. You know, um, this article's at npr.org if you wanna look through it. You can talk to 'em about the, you know, ways that AI could be used on things like homework and things like that. But also, yeah, you gotta talk about [laughs] you know, identifying pieces of content that may not be true, and how to go about
researching to determine if these things are real. 'Cause I- I bet if I scrolled Facebook right now, I'm gonna find, you know, out of 20 posts, I bet at least five of 'em would be somebody sharing some AI crap that's not true whatsoever. But, people just don't look into things, and they took fact checking off the internet 'cause some people cried about it [laughs]. So, it's getting tougher than ever to figure out what's real and what isn't. And in a year from now, I don't even know how we're gonna figure it out. You're gonna have, you know, politicians left and right just, "Well, that's AI. That never happened. Well, I didn't say that." It's like, "Dude, we got, uh, 10 different cameras showing you say it." "Nope, all of it AI." [laughs] It's gonna be the excuse for everything. Sucks.[rock music] 'Cause it's good technology, that could be used for some really cool things. But, you know, it's kinda like the internet. The internet is great technology, that could be used to better the world. [laughs] Well. It was doing pretty good before everybody got it on their phones. You know, when you had to know how to operate a computer, I think that
kinda led toward more critical thinking. You know, if it was difficult to simply operate, you might take some time to consider things a little bit further or, you know, perhaps the people who were putting information out there would, you know, be the types that would
research a little bit before sharing it. Anyway, beware of AI. There's so much of it, so much of it. And some of it's obvious, but a lot of it isn't. And a lot of that stuff's being used to, uh, warp people's minds. So, just be careful. Talk to people of all ages, not just your kids, about AI, how to use it properly, and how to determine what's real and what isn't in these, uh, strange times we're in. [rock music] It's The Victor Wilt Program. Happy Monday, my people. All right, [sighs] what else is going on around here? [rock music] Let's see. If you have $18 million burning a hole in your pocket, uh, for one, good for you. Taking donations at my Venmo, people who just wanna spend money. But you could buy an ex-mafia boss's house in, uh, Staten Island, New York. You know, only $18 million. It's pretty ludicrous, as you would imagine. Um, it's certainly a mansion. 33,000 square feet. It's, uh ... I don't know, though. Wouldn't you feel weird living on or in an ex-mafia boss's house? I think I would. It's just some of the, you know, bad vibes. You don't want bad vibes in your house. You know? Home is supposed to be a place where you're comfy and feel good. I don't know. What else we got here? "Hundreds of people named Ryan gather in New York City in an attempt to break the world record of the most Ryans in one place." This was Ryetoberfest. Now, did they actually break the record? Let's see. "Current Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people with the same first name was set in 2017 when 2,000 people with the wor- or the name Ivan got together in a town in the Balkans." So, I, I don't think they hit the record. Looks like they... Well, it's been growing a little bit over the years, but back in 2023, they only brought in 200 Ryans. Guys, you gotta up your game. You gotta get some more promotion out on this. You know, you're supposed to hear about it before the event, not after. Uh, let's see. We've got, "A San Francisco chef suspected of robbing three banks in a day." You know, you think it's expensive to live here, there are worse places. San Francisco, one of 'em. Can't even be a chef in San Francisco and get by without having to rob banks to be able to afford the rent. Didn't look like a, a violent robbery. I don't know, I think the guy just passed a note. Which, even if you don't pull out a gun, if you go to the bank and you're like, "Give me money," you're gonna go to jail. And, um, he did. He did. Self-employed chef, so, uh, yeah, I guess, uh, must be as tough to get a job there as it is everywhere else right now as well. Ah,
you know, good luck to everybody who's on the job hunt. I have heard of people complaining about this. And, um, times are tough. You know? Kinda sucks right now, so I hope things improve for everybody. And they will. They will, all right? [claps hands] Started the show saying, "Stay optimistic. Gonna be a good day." We got this. We got this, everybody. [rock music] Well, if you've got a birthday coming up and you're gonna do the whole cake thing, just get regular candles to put on the cake. All right? You don't need to get fancy. Don't need to put sparklers on there, 'cause I don't think you can blow sparklers out. Or if you're not paying attention, they might not be sparklers. [laughs] Or they might be, you know, fountains, and then they set your kitchen, your dining room on fire. This article says, "Family accidentally lit fireworks instead of birthday candles again." Now, I read through the article and I don't know where the, the "again" came from, 'cause it doesn't say they've done this before. Just that other people have. So, I, I don't th- think that was fair to put "again" in the title when this family hasn't done it more than once. But,
yeah, you, you don't wanna burn your house down for your birthday. That's, that's a bad birthday celebration. Um, you can check out video of this online. It's, uh, it's pretty insane. [laughs] Fireworks outside only. And, uh, under good supervision from responsible, sober adults. And, uh, you know, make sure they say, what, "safe and sane." Yeah, you don't wanna go to jail, all right? But yeah, it's a bad 16th birthday party for that kid. [laughs] Now, just be cautious, people. Fireworks can cause some serious damage. [rock music] Got a product recall warning. Wanted to get it out there to you folks. You know, maybe you've got one of these in your man cave. Put some beers in it. The Paris Hilton mini beauty fridges, a number of these have been recalled, as the electrical switch can short circuit, causing it to overheat, posing a fire and burn hazard. So, your little pink Paris Hilton mini beauty fridge, packed with, I don't know, a kind of cruddy beer-
[heavy metal music] Yeah, you dudes, you gotta, you gotta turn that back in, all right? [laughs] You can go to the Epico website where you may have purchased it from and, uh, they'll get you a refund, okay? Gotta submit some photographs and, uh, send it their way. Now, I'm sorry. I know your little pink fridge, pretty awesome. No, I think people use these for makeup. But still, I'm sure we got at least one K-Bear dude filled that cute little thing with beer. And I'm sorry to ruin your day and
the feng shui in your man cave, but it'll be okay. They'll get you a refund. You can get a new one. [rock music] Bring Me The Horizon, one of the countless bands appearing at the upcoming Aftershock Festival. It's going down October 2nd through the 5th in Sacramento, which ain't a bad drive. I've done that drive a few times. Certainly, it'd be worth it to check out four days of awesome music. I mean, pretty much everybody's playing this show. It's the biggest rock and metal festival in the West. Again, October 2nd through the 5th. Bands like blink-182, Deftones, Korin, Bring Me The Horizon, Gojira, Turnstile, Marilyn Manson, Chevelle, Motionless in White, Knocked Loose, Taking Back Sunday, Alkaline Trio, The Dillinger Escape Plan is playing, people. Slaughter to Prevail, Black Veil Brides. I mean, I could go on and on. Rob Zombie, Bad Omens, A Perfect Circle, Mudvayne, Three Days Grace, Good Charlotte. Yeah, it's like, it's like everybody's playing, all right? How about going to that show for free? We've got tickets, okay? This is, uh, a little bit of a, a halfway to the show giveaway. We'll hook you up with a couple of four-day GA passes. They're valued at almost 600 bucks apiece. You just gotta get yourself to Sacramento, whatever it takes. So what we're gonna do is the halfway giveaway game. We're gonna play five seconds of one band's song with five seconds of another band's song, and if you can name both songs,
then you're gonna score a picket or a pair of four-day GA passes to Aftershock.
It's gonna be a blast. So make sure you're listening. When are me and Peaches gonna do this? Well, I don't know. At some point. But also, I mean, it took a lot for us to get these tickets. They're very expensive. Make sure to play the game if you can definitely go. We want somebody who can enjoy the four days of music. Yeah, but you're, you're gonna have to get yourself there, all right? We, we just got you tickets. So that's one giveaway we're doing this week. We're also hooking up tickets to see In This Moment, Dayseeker, The Funeral Portrait, and dead at the Mountain America Center right here in East Idaho, Idaho Falls, going down October 10th. Doing the back-to-back tracks game, so if you hear two songs from any of those bands back to back, be caller number 20, win tickets to the show. But everybody who wins is also going into a drawing for the ultimate VIP upgrade, a meet and greet with Maria Brink of In This Moment, and even the opportunity to walk with her to the stage when the band goes on. So, lots of really cool giveaways this week. Keep listening for your chance to win. [rock music] Should be a pretty decent day. I'm, I'm stoked. Getting a dishwasher. You might, might recall the story of me breaking my other one a while back. Finally getting one delivered and installed. Shout out to the installers. Much appreciated. Oh! You know, I know this is a first-world problem, but going without a dishwasher after you've been used to one for a really long time, it sucks. Yeah, if you haven't hand-washed dishes for like a month for a while, give it a shot. You will be very grateful for modern technology. Ah, so excited. So excited. So let's see. What else is going on around here aside from me b- bragging it up? Look at me. [laughs] I have a dishwasher. Uh, let's see. Can boomers decipher zoomer slang?
Well, I ain't even a boomer, and I doubt I can decipher it. Let's see. Do you know what the words delulu and ... How do you, how do you even pronounce this? Cheugy? Ch- cheugy? Cheogy? I don't know. Where's Peaches when I need him? Where's our resident zoomer? Well, let's see. The gap between the TikTok generation and the boomers could be described as whacking, uh, which means older folk do not have the faintest idea as g- ... of what's going on. Yeah, whacking definitely meant something different, uh, when I was growing up [laughs], probably because of, uh, lots of watching Beavis and Butt-Head. Well, le- let's take a look here. I mean, I have no idea what those first two words mean to a Gen Z. Delulu and, again, what? Cheugy? Cheogy? I, I have no idea how you say that. Well, one of the terms up for discussion is brain rot. Now, brain rot, isn't that, isn't that just a type of content that makes you dumb? Let's see. The Oxford English Dictionary, 'cause they just added a bunch of these words to the dictionary, means "a perceived loss of intelligence or critical thinking skills as attributed to the over-consumption of unchallenging or inane content or material." Yeah, brain rot. So pretty much what I see, uh, filling up my social media feeds. Lots of brain rot. Mm-hmm. Let's see here. Uh, people don't say sick anymore for something being cool. They say slay. Yeah, I've heard that one. I could probably have guessed that. All right. Clock it.
[rock music] All right, um, what does clock it mean? If I prove a point or someone else proves a point, I would say, "Clock it," while doing the appropriate finger motion. What's the finger motion? [laughs]
I, I know one that I could use. All right, let's see here. What other words do we have? It's too late. No, that- Oh, don't go bald. That means, uh, you're not funny. Hey, that's insulting! All right? I know I'm not always funny, but every once in a while, you know, occasionally. Go bald. Now, skibidi doesn't mean anything, right? Let's see. Used in place of cool or bad. All right.
So my show, it's pretty skibidi. It could be either. Could be cool, could just be terrible, bad. All right, trad wife. I've heard that, you know?
There's, like, a, a number of TikTok videos where, I don't know, women will dress up like they're from the 50s, and they just, you know, work around the kitchen and things like that. Ladies, you know, it's 2025. Okay? You be you, all right?
Don't need to walk around the house in a red checkered apron and put your hair in a bun. All right?
We're in some weird times, people. I don't know. I guess I have heard a lot of these words. All right, delulu. What does it mean? Okay, delusional. All right, Gucci. That means cool, right? And then shoegy or whatever that word is. Describe someone or something considered out of date or uncool. So, I, I guess that word that I cannot say is me.
