Yo! How's it going, people? Happy Monday. Welcome to the Victor Wilt program. Ugh. Halloween weekend, I hope a success for you. Hope lots of fun. Had a good Halloween night myself. I went with, uh, my girlfriend and her daughter, my girlfriend's sister and their kids, her husband, out trick-or-treating. And I even did some trick-or-treating myself. Figured it would be funny. And not a single person turned me down for candy, even though I looked ridiculous. Every one of them laughed. [laughs] You know, laughed and then hooked up the candy, so... I didn't go to, like, tons of houses. Just a few. Roamed around, checked out some of the more extreme decorations. There was one that I shared in the K-Bear group. I think it was on 18th Street, and it was amazing. It was amazing. You know, there's the 8th Street house in Idaho Falls that's very popular and very cool. But I don't know, I think this one on 18th Street, I think, yeah, it was, it was next level. It was cool. And then, uh, yeah, just kinda hung out for the rest of the weekend. Didn't do anything too exciting. I did manage to burn the crap out of my arm taking a pizza out of the oven. And I didn't think it was that bad, it, until yesterday. I, like, looked at it in the mirror and I was like, "Oh, geez. Yikes." [laughs] So, uh, and I had to look up, okay, what should, what should I do about this? This is pretty hideous. And, uh, wearing a long-sleeved shirt at work today, 'cause I don't want the other employees to see it. I've got it, you know, covered up with a Band-Aid, but a Band-Aid doesn't cover all of it. [laughs] It doesn't feel as sore today, though. Yesterday, it was, it was pretty much hurting like crap. Yesterday was not my favorite day of all time. But I did watch a documentary on Netflix to try to pass the time while Becca was at work. I don't know, it was, you know, The Mob in Philadelphia? I don't know what it was called, but it was on Netflix. It was pretty good. You know, I like a good mob documentary. Didn't watch any horror movies all weekend, though. I guess November's gonna be Horror Month for me. You know, I'll, I'll, I'll just change it up a bit. I'll do it different than everybody else and we'll just watch horror movies all November. Just gotta get some stuff done. I need to take down my Halloween decorations. They're still, like, turned on. You know, if you were to drive by my house, they're just blasting. [laughs] You know, colorful lights and blah, blah, blah. Thankfully, today looks like a good weather day. I get those taken down, feel like I accomplished something, 'cause yesterday I did not accomplish anything. But I made it here. I'm working bright and early. You know, dealt with the time change. Haven't changed all the clocks yet, but
made it through it. And congratulations again to our winner from Friday, Kyle, who scored our Nintendo Switch 2 bundle. And congrats to everyone from the company party who won in the costume contest. I was not one of them. I did win, like, a consolation prize for scariest costume, but the three big winners were Maddie, dressed up as a Founding Father; Josh from classy, dressed up as Charlie Brown; and, uh, Daniel from sales, who was dressed up as Buddy the Elf. They, they did all look pretty good. But aside from Maddie, I think, you know... I m- I definitely put more time into my stuff, so. But it wasn't a costume for everybody. It was, you know, I, I looked like a freak show if you, if you saw me. So now, just got to figure out, all right, what are we gonna do to get through and have some fun
in the first week of November? You know, a, uh... Happy birthday to my sister from a couple days ago. Hopefully she got the digital gift card that I sent her, and yeah. Just gotta find some crap to yap about. I'm sure there were some crazy things that went down over the Halloween weekend, so hopefully we'll have some pretty good freak news today, and other than that, I don't know. I'll find something to talk about. Hope you're having a wonderful morning.
Let's just keep this party going. Let's crush down Monday, get through it, and then we can get back to, uh, well, again, trying to be a little productive, but also, I think, a little rest and recuperation. All right. I'm gonna take a quick break. I'll be back. Hang on.
Well, I was just sitting here reading about people's weird habits, yeah, that they hope no one finds out about, but then they share them online. [laughs] I guess, you know, many people using just strange usernames, that maybe you can or can't figure out who they are. My username on, like, every platform, very easy to figure out. Victor Wilt. But anyway, let's take a look at some of their weird habits and judge them for them. All right. This user says, "I sing stupid little songs I make up to my fish and cats when I get home. One time I thought my husband wasn't home yet, serenaded my darlings, and then heard laughter coming from another room." [laughs] I've probably sang to my cats. I can't think of an instance, but I talk to them. Yeah. So probably at some point, was busting out some kind of stupid song.
[laughs] Let's see, someone ten- uh, says, "When I'm having a really hard day, I'll pretend my dishes or my laundry are sentient little creatures who are excited to see me. They also need my help, 'cause they're scared or lost or dirty. I give them their little baths and tell them they're brave and tuck [laughs] them back into their homes. They're very thankful to me and excited to be back in their safe places, all clean with their friends. Helps motivate me to keep my apartment clean when I'm dealing with the apathy of chronic depression."
All right, maybe that's gonna be the approach I take when I get home and go, "All right, you have gotta get something accomplished. You loser. Get something done around the house, jeez. Oh, look at you, little Halloween decorations hanging out in the front yard, still running full steam ahead. Let's put you back in your little tubs, all right? Yeah." [laughs] Let's see, this person says they take all the stuff off of their refrigerator and sit on top of it just to look at their home from a different view, since it's quite nice. "I don't think people will get it if I was caught doing it." Um,
I suppose I could see that. You ever stood on a step stool and you're like, "Oh, this is what it's like to be Peaches. This is weird."? All right, this one says, "The absolutely mind-boggling level to which I talk to myself or narrate things out loud, even having full-blown conversations about made-up scenarios and events that haven't transpired, all my... all because my imagination runs rampant like a runaway train." Yeah, I, I talk out loud just a little bit. Just a little bit. Usually, I'm just stewing inside of my head. Won't get into that. Let's see here. This person says they rock themself to sleep. "Well, not rock per se, I do a vibration with my feet until I fall asleep." I count myself to sleep. Uh, is that weird? You know how people talk about counting sheep? I mean, I just count. I just sit there, focus on my breathing and, "One, two," and so on. And sometimes, you know, it's, uh, i- I'm counting hundreds [laughs], but eventually it works. I don't know, is your brain a circus like mine? Yeah. Yeah, focus on that breathing and try counting. It, it works. It works pretty good. Unless it's yesterday when I was trying to take a nap during the day. There was a d- n- it wasn't happening. No matter what I did, it was not happening. Okay, this person says, "Before I get into bed, I clean off my feet by kneeling on the edge, on all fours, and slapping them together forcefully to get rid of any dust that might've accumulated. It looks like a fly rubbing its hands. I can't enter the bed [laughs] before doing that." All right, now that, I would say, is a weird habit. Oh, and then they said, "Edit to the person in my DMs asking me to send me a video of me dusting off my feet. Go play [laughs] in the microwave." [laughs] If you're gonna talk about your feet stuff online, somebody's gonna message you and be like, "Yeah, I gotta see this. Gotta see this." This person likes hanging out in their closet. Uh, this person talks to their cats. I, I think most people talk to their pets though. I don't think it's a weird habit. What if you just never talked to your pets? I, then I, then I would think that's weird. You just, you know, point. I, I don't know, what do you do with your pets if you don't talk to 'em?
Let's see here. This person says when their earlobes are cold from being outside, they'll fold them into their ear canal and hold them there. [laughs] I guess it might work, might work. [laughs] Uh, let's see, daydreaming. I don't think daydreaming's weird. All right, I'm not gonna read that one. [laughs] Talking to myself full on like it's a podcast, so there's a lot of people doing things to pass the time, it sounds like, and keep their brains from, uh, you know, just running wild. Letting that rollercoaster and circus go full steam ahead. All right, this person has scheduled cry times. Well, that might be a good idea. It's better than unexpectedly just, "Wah." [laughs]
All right.
This person s- reads obituaries and then search for the people on social media to see what their lives were like. Okay.
Oh, and they're like, "It's more of a hobby, not a habit." [laughs] Habit being that you, you do it all the time. "I gotta, I gotta start my day every day with this."
Yay, it's Monday. Yay.
Just kidding. I know nobody's saying yay, but we gotta try to stay positive. It's the only way to survive sometimes. You know, you wake up in that mental space where you're like, "No!" Um, you gotta clear that outta your head. Sometimes it's hard. [laughs] But thankfully, you're part of a community right now listening to the radio. There was a thread on Reddit where they were asking people, "Do you still listen to AM/FM radio in the car? Why or why not?" And what's funny about this question is
you'll hear from people, "Oh, you still listen to the radio?" Do you know how many people listen to the radio? Tons of people listen to radio. I don't know why it's become this, like, shameful thing to admit to. Maybe in most places, they don't have stations as cool as us, so I, I don't know, people get embarrassed that they're listening to the War of the Roses or whatever. Let's find out while, or why people are still listening to radio according to these answers on the internet. "I do. It just feels so much easier and seamless. Just push one button, and it's nice knowing other people are listening to the same thing at the same time."[rock music] Yeah, it is kind of, uh, community-oriented listening. Like, there's a ton of you listening to my crap right now. And I always find that interesting. Why you choose to listen to my show, I don't know, but I'm glad you like it. And I, I hope you like me well enough. I try to be fun and, uh, appealing to listen to. Some days better than others. Today, m- you know, better than expected. I'll tell you that. But yeah, it is easy. You just push go. And I listen to streaming and stuff like that, but the thing I've noticed is that,
like, you know, if I fire up my Spotify and it just starts running off of, like, one artist, it just always plays the same crap.
Wow! [rock music]
Like, w- and I'm not talking, like, the same 800 songs like we do. Like, the same... It, it's like 20 songs. And then I get all pissed, have to take a different route. I really only listen to podcasts on streaming for the most part. Sometimes some music if I really wanna hear something, but. Let's see. This person says they drive an old car, [laughs] so that's why they listen. All right, fair. That's fair. You know, I could put a CD in my truck. I can connect my phone through Bluetooth. And it's an older vehicle. I mean, it's 14 years old. That's pretty old. Let's see here. "Traffic report." Oh, look at that, Peaches. Here is someone who says they listen to radio for the traffic report, and it's got a lot of up votes as well. Peaches don't believe people like hearing, uh, weather reports or traffic reports on the radio. And you would think, "Yeah, you can fire up your phone and get the weather report," but that's a step, something you gotta do. Traffic report, you gotta pull up the Google Map, zoom i- zoom in and see what roads are all red.
I mean, we don't really have to worry about that around here. You just know 17th and Sunnyside are gonna suck pretty much all day. They're miserable. You know, if you're in Pokey, Yellowstone's gonna suck. It's just how it is. Rexburg, I'm not sure. I haven't driven around there enough. Near the college, it's gonna suck. That's just a good guess. All right, what are other reasons people listen to the radio? "Easy and free, one button, bam." Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes I just don't care to fire up my phone and throw on a podcast, so I'll jump between our stations, make sure they're all on air, and then I'll listen to some KBear and hear what kinda garbage Peaches is talking about. Like doing a sports update on Halloween. Who cares, Peaches? It's Halloween. We don't wanna hear about sports. We wanna hear about ghouls and goblins. Right? This person listens to the news. All right, that, that's fair. Though most of the time when you're listening to the news on the radio, ugh,
dealing with
not news, you're dealing with opinionated political entertainment, okay? Like, The Neal Larson Show is not news. It's Neal's spin on current events. Don't call it news. They shouldn't be allowed to put Newstalk in the name of a station that's just talk, right? Like, I do news, but I don't claim to be a news show. Right? This person listens to radio for shorter drives. Not worth the effort to connect their phone if they're just gonna be in the car for 10 minutes. Uh, somebody likes sports. All right. They like the familiar voices in the morning.
And now we're getting into the people who don't listen to radio here. They're like, "No. I paid $500 for a lifetime Sirius subscription like 25 years ago." Well, if you paid for it, why aren't you using it? [laughs] You know? I mean, I ain't gonna pay for Sirius. No way. No way. But if I had paid for a lifetime subscription, I'd use it. You know? At least I think so. "Free entertainment, news." Yeah, I don't wanna listen to all my good music over and over, as you can get tired of a song. Well, you can get tired of a song on the radio, that's for sure. Uh, "No, I pay good money not to listen to commercials." All right. Well, good for you. Enjoy forking over all that dough for, uh, YouTube Premium and Spotify Premium where you still get commercials, Amazon Prime, still get commercials. I know this because I use those services and I have to sit through the commercials. If you listen to podcasts, you know what I'm talking about. You don't ha- You get interrupted probably, what, every
10 to 15 minutes
for, you know, a good four to five minutes of commercials? Least we only play commercials every half hour here. And I'm gonna play some for you right now, 'cause these are loyal sponsors that love KBear and believe in us. So you should support them, all right? Listen to them. Listen to them!
Tomorrow is Tuesday. I know. Wow. No kidding, dude. Tomorrow's Election Day, people. Okay? I just saw Lou Brutus post about this. Get out and vote. Okay? You can register at the polls. Just bring a piece of mail, bring your ID, get out and vote. It's important. These are our local elections where your vote seriously matters. And I've said it a bunch of times recently, but I'm gonna say it again, voter turnout in local elections is horrible.[rock music plays] Everybody gets all excited to get out and vote for the president, and then they, you know, just sit at home and fart around when the local elections are going on. Local elections, your vote is strong! All right?
The way the presidential elections work, you know what Idaho's gonna do. All right? You generally, you just know where our electoral votes are going. It sucks, 'cause it makes it feel like your vote doesn't matter. It always does. It ultimately does matter. But in local elections, it's extremely important. You can go to eastidahonews.com, go to East Idaho Elects. They've been interviewing the candidates in, like, every city for the mayoral elections, for the city council elections. I know, it's gonna take you a little bit of time to get to know the candidates, but it's important to get to know the candidates, 'cause they're going to represent our community for, oh, a pretty significant amount of time. So, get out and vote. There's no excuse not to. Tell your boss, "Hey, I need to do my civic duty. On my lunch break, I'm gonna go stand in line. If I'm a few minutes late, it- is it gonna be okay?" And it probably will, unless your boss is a turd. All right? Go to, uh, I believe it's voteidaho.org or voteidaho.gov. You can find your local polling place. And again, you can register to vote at the polls. You just bring your ID and a piece of mail. They'll get you all signed up, and then bam, bam, you place your vote. Please, let's see some record turnout for the local elections. I see people complaining all the time. They don't like how things are going. Well, if you want change, you gotta get out and do your part. Okay? You can't rely on all the boomers to just make all the decisions for us. You young people, you're the ones who don't get out and vote. So, do it. Do it! I command you. I demand that you vote!
Again, East Idaho News, East Idaho Elects, to get all of the informations on the candidates. So, uh, please do it, okay? Do it for me! [rock music plays] Okay, we're already done dealing with daylight saving time. All right? It happened yesterday. But
45 minutes about daylight saving time? How could you talk that much about it? I don't know, they've got the, I guess, world's biggest expert on daylight saving time. What's this guy's name here? What is it here? I'm gonna... Blah, blah, blah, blah. David Perreault, the nation's foremost au- authority on the topic, author of a book called Seize The Daylight: The Curious and Contentious History Of Daylight Saving Time. They get into the origins of it, how it's evolved over the years, and why it's such a debated topic. I mean, I could, I could break it down for you in, in like 10 seconds. There's nothing beneficial about it whatsoever! [laughs] It's not a contentious topic. Everyone agrees that it sucks. Everyone, right?
I don't know, there've gotta be somebody out there that likes it for some reason or other, but, uh, it's a waste of time, it screws people's brains up, leads to people dying. It's not good. I might have to watch the video as I work on, uh, tedious, boring work when I get done with the morning show here, just to see how you could talk for 45 minutes about daylight saving time. I mean, there, there are some videos you could watch online about how it came to be, but all that stuff you hear about farmers, like, it has nothing to do with farming. Farmers don't care about it. They don't like it.
Ugh, hate the time change! And again, I'm fed up with the government. They do all these things. They just do 'em, things that nobody wants them to do. But everyone agrees, daylight saving time is dumb. We could either stay on standard time or we could make daylight saving time permanent. Just set the clocks and let's just leave 'em. Then we don't have to deal with this every six months. Then we could just give away a Nintendo Switch just 'cause it's fun to do so [laughs], not with the spin of, "Hey, the time change sucks and we're gonna try to make it better." Again, congrats to our winner, Kyle, from Friday, scoring that Nintendo Switch 2 bundle from Brent Gordon Law. Don't you worry. We got a lot of fun giveaways coming up. Can't remember when we're announcing the next one, but it's a good one. It's a good one that, uh, I think many of you are going to want to participate in. We'll be playing a fun game and giving away a pretty sweet prize. At least, I think it's a pretty sweet prize. I would want it. I would want most of the prizes we give away, as a matter of fact. So, stay tuned on that. In the meantime, I'm gonna work on digging up some freak news. Gotta have some, uh, post-Halloween stupid stories. [rock music plays] Uh, what kinda stuff is over... Is it Maddie's makeup?
Yes, that's what it is.
Uh, okay. Yeah, I need to, uh, get that back to her today. I forgot on Friday after we used it during traffic school. So yeah, I was going to get into some freak news, because the computer froze up on me as I was trying to get ready for that-
Oh
... and, uh, I had to pull everything back up and it just wasn't working. Kinda light on the freak news front today so far as well, which is disappointing after the Halloween holiday. Usually, a m- a lot of mayhem.
Well, one of the monkeys got shot and killed, one of the 12 that was missing from Mississippi.
Okay, so the, the one that was missing?
Uh, there w- I don't know how many were missing. I thought there was three, but one of them at least was shot by a frightened mother.
Oh! Okay. Well, they did say those monkeys were packing, what, like, COVID and other diseases, and that they were aggressive?
Yeah, it's a fun game. Might as well just release a b- whole bunch of wild animals with a whole bunch of diseases?
Sure!
See what happens to them?
Sure! [laughs] As if we don't have enough problems in the world, let's get the, uh, you know, sick monkeys that are aggressive on the loose. You know, just keep people on their toes, for sure. All right. What do we got here for freak news? I guess up in Bozeman, to the north, uh-[rock music plays] You know the Sinclair dinosaurs that they have at the gas stations?
Yes.
This plastic or whatever fiberglass dinosaurs? Uh, somebody stole one and then took it up on top of a mountain, and, uh, you could view it from down below. Looked like a Nessie, just kinda hanging out on the top of a mountain.
There was one I think that was stolen in California not that long ago, and the guy brought it back and wrote an apology note.
Yeah, yeah. Well, I have a, uh, a gripe with those dinosaurs 'cause in, um... It was in Southern Utah. I bought you a magnet from this town, I just can't think of the name of the town right now. But I went into a gas station there, Sinclair, walk out, and they had the dinosaur positioned in a way that if you immediately turn to the left to walk towards your vehicle, bam! You just smash your face into it and, oh... I've- I've- I've gotten beat up a little bit over the weekend. Um, I burned the crap out of my arm, uh, getting a pizza out of the oven. Looks pretty disgusting, so I- I wore a long-sleeved shirt today so nobody had to look at that. I've got a Band-Aid on it, but it doesn't fully cover it. Uh, I don't know, hopefully it's not a major problem. It doesn't hurt as bad today as it did yesterday, but that happened Friday night and it was getting, like, nastier and nastier. Look, and I'm turning into Jade Davis-
Ooh.
... you know?
Yeah.
With that, you- you know, rotten skin look.
[laughs]
But, uh, yeah. So dinosaur to the face, I don't like those Sinclair dinosaurs. Leave it on top of the mountain far as I'm concerned. Uh, the gas station owner said, you know, it made him laugh, but please don't do it again.
I wonder how many people, like, posted in the local Facebook groups, saying, "Has anyone else seen that dinosaur on top of the mountain?"
Oh, I bet tons 'cause-
Following.
... I mean, this is Bozeman. There's not a lot of, uh, excitement in Bozeman.
Right.
Um, in Utah, a guy took a 2,000-pound pumpkin, pulled it up with a crane, and dropped it on a 1991 GL Metro just for fun.
Sure.
It was-
Let the dudes be dudes.
The great pumpkin drop. I- I- I'm kinda like that, the, uh-
I like that more than the ball drop on New Year's Eve.
Yeah, let's break some stuff. The ball drop's kinda boring. It moves all slow-
Right
... just kinda creeps down.
And m- those people are just all anchovies, all sardined together.
Just a bunch of people wearing dirty diapers-
Yeah! Isn't that gross?
... standing in the streets. It is gross.
They have to be there for hours just to have that spot, and then Ryan Seacrest comes up, like, eight hours later, does the whole, you know, Dick Clark's, you know, New Year's Eve bash celebration.
Yeah, what do you- what do you think it smells like in that Times Square crowd? 'Cause, you know, New York's kinda smelly anyway.
Oh, yeah.
So you- you get thousands of people wearing diapers. Oh, it's just so nasty.
[laughs]
If there was an event that requires you to wear a diaper to attend...
But, but they can't change it, can they? They have to really stand there-
You just have to stand there
... wearing a used diaper.
Yeah! Yeah, 'cause, I mean, if you've ever been to New York, it's hard to find a bathroom to begin with on a normal day when it's not, you know, packed to the brim with an event like that going on. Disgusting!
Do you think they get back to their car afterwards or they get back to their place and just-
Ugh!
... take the diaper off?
Ugh, it's so gross.
Start the new year with a mess?
Yeah, that's no way to roll [laughs] into the new year. It's a crappy way to roll into the new year.
Woo hoo! [laughs] Hey!
All right, I wanted to see what this article was about, uh, people fighting on an airplane over the overhead compartments. Um, somebody I guess put their backpack in there and, uh, people got very mad at them. If you've flown recently, you might have experienced not being able to put your- your suitcase in the overhead bin. They don't have enough room on the planes.
That's because usually there's someone who has, like, a baby and then they just have all those baby supplies stuffed into this giant suitcase and that takes up the whole overhead bin.
Well, and with the way they load airplanes, you know, they load the people in the front first.
Mm-hmm.
And, you know, as you go to the back, if you're one of the people in the back, you just end up, you know, with not only the crappiest seat that takes the longest to get out of the plane, but you also can't put your bag anywhere. And then they gotta drag it out, put it under the plane. You're hoping they don't lose it.
I found my tactic. I basically just stand right behind the person. Like, you know when you're getting off the plane, to really rush people, you just stand up and then just stand right behind them staring at them?
[laughs]
It's kinda creepy if I do it 'cause I'm, like, kneeling down just staring at 'em.
Yeah, yeah. You're all huge.
[laughs]
Yeah. Uh, well, I don't have any plans to fly anytime soon, so don't have to worry about that one. But, you know, if you're on a plane, try to not fight with other people 'cause then it leads to them not taking off. And there's nothing more aggravating than getting stuck back at the airport after you've already been there for hours on end. You know, you're probably gonna get sick 'cause people, you know, they just pack their COVID onto airplanes. [coughs] You know, they're just hacking and wheezing all over the place.
Oh, the worst is when you get that smoky dude who does, who coughs every five minutes. [coughs]
Yeah, you're like, "Dude, what kinda sickness are you giving me? Why didn't you drive where you need to be?" You get, buddy, you get. So yeah, they're advising others how to avoid this problem and they're just like, "You know, just put your bag under the seat in front of you," which is, I'm sure for a guy like you, great.
No.
Yeah. It's bad enough for me to try to stuff my bag under the seat in front of me 'cause they- they've just made things so cramped nowadays. Ugh. Well, flying right now has gotta be a nightmare 'cause, um, air traffic controllers not showing up for work and things like that.
Right, mm-hmm.
I'm glad I don't need to travel right now. Hopefully by the time my kids get here in a month these issues have been corrected.
And I'm trying to leave, uh, after Christmas.
Ooh. Good luck, peach. I mean, you'd really think that the- the government can get their crap together, reach an agreement, start talking to each other, fix these problems soon. You know, it- it, this is getting ridiculous. But it is the government we're talking about, so who knows? Eh, there might be no air traffic controllers left by the time you wanna go home. Nobody traveling for Christmas. Christmas being ruined by the politicians. It could happen.[rock music] It could easily happen.
I mean, we, we could look at the bright side and be like, "Hey, there's less traffic out there on Christmas here."
Well, but that... No, then everybody's gonna be driving in that snow. Gonna be a bunch of wrecks. Chaos.
I'm staying here for Christmas, so-
Yeah, I-
... good luck everybody else. [laughs]
I'm, I'm not going anywhere, and my kids'll be gone by Christmas, so, um, I, I don't know what I'm gonna be doing on Christmas. But, uh, need to take my Halloween decorations down and start working toward Christmas. But I gotta move the wall of sound from my living room-
Oh, yeah
... back upstairs. I think it's gonna stay upstairs now.
D- did you know, by the way, we already got our first message on the Classy97 Facebook page? Like literally yesterday, November 1st. Was it yesterday?
Asking when we're gonna start playing-
Oh, it was November 2nd yesterday. One lady already asked, "When are you guys gonna start playing Christmas music?" I'm-
It's a secret.
Let's... Like, I wish I could reply. I would've been like-
[laughs]
"... screw off, lady."
The Christmas music is ready to go. Josh and I already, uh, dealt with it. It's ready. But I don't know if they've announced the day.
I don't think they have either. That's why I haven't said it.
Yeah, it's a secret. But it's coming soon. The Christmas music channel, Classy97. Yeah. It'll be good. It's the best Christmas playlist you're gonna get anywhere, 'cause
you know, you know who put it together. That's right. This guy right here. I know what I'm doing, all right? Forget firing up some crappy YouTube Christmas playlist. Just listen to Classy. It'll fill you with holiday cheer. You'll be, you'll be happy.
The worst is when you walk into a business and they're playing some terrible SiriusXM channel.
Oh yeah, yeah. Ew. Ugh. Classy's where you wanna go for Christmas music, people.
I, I walked into some restaurant and they were playing 97.1 ZHT in, uh, Salt Lake City, [laughs] which is a pop station.
Ugh. What? This was local?
Yeah.
Why don't they play Z103?
Well, I'll tell you off the air.
O- okay. All right. [clears throat] We'll be back. I gotta hear the dirt. [rock music] Where the heck did the last 10 minutes go? I dunno, got abducted by aliens again? What's up with you? You having a good Monday morning so far? I hope so. Hope you had a wonderful Halloween weekend. Hope you didn't have too much fun, but I hope you had a great time. Uh, it seemed like there were a lot of people out on the streets. The weather was nice. Yeah, gotta like that. I remember as a kid a few Halloweens trudging through the snow. Ugh. Sucked. Sucked. And, uh, I'm grateful for the weather being decent, 'cause I'll be able to take down my Halloween decorations
and not have to do so in the snow. That is, uh, kind of a pain. Get my yard cleaned up. I'm sure my neighbors are like, "Dude, turn 'em off already." [laughs] I just left 'em running for like the last few weeks nonstop. All right, neighbors, I'll get it together. Okay? I promise. Today. E- even if I have to crawl to do it, get 'em taken down and put 'em, put 'em away. All right. What do we got going on here? A shoe thief. You know, porch pirates are terrible. We're heading into that time of year where people start getting packages delivered for the holidays, and always some jerk out there just stealing people's crap. This guy, he's stealing shoes. This was in Puyallup, Washington, and yeah, he is just going around stealing shoes. That's it. That's all he wanted. Shoes. Dude, listen, people need their shoes, man. Come on. You know, stealing random package is bad enough, ruining somebody's Christmas. But I tell you what, if I got up this morning and I had no shoes, that's a bad way to start the day. You know, I gotta get to work. It's bad enough when I can't find my keys. Shoes?
What a piece of crap. Glad he's showing up on the ring cams.
Did they... Oh, did they find him? Oh, they got him. They got him. Okay. He did steal other things, but these were just dirty shoes out for... Why would you want somebody's dirty shoes? He is one, one of those feet guys, huh? Ugh. Well, anyway, watch your shoes. Leave 'em, leave 'em on the back porch, I guess. [laughs] Don't wanna leave 'em out front, not in Washington with the green hat man stealing yo stinky shoes. He was stealing Crocs too, and Crocs gotta be all sweaty, smelly. I've never had Crocs. I just assume that they're, they're gonna stink. You know, like flip-flops? I mean, th- they just tend to smell. Dirty shoe thief. Ugh. Just wanna throw out the warning. You know, get them cameras up, 'cause dirtbags are gonna be out on the prowl. [rock music] Hmm. Hi, it's Victor Wilt. Monday. Yay. Let's see what I got for random open tabs. Okay. These are all unpleasant. Why do I even have these open? Ugh. You know when you're in a bad mental state, last thing you wanna read about is anything political. And
I know I talked about this Friday, but I just wanna once again encourage people to be empathetic toward others. There was this really sad story on eastidahonews.com about a woman in, um, they just say a rural Idaho town, and
she lost her husband, you know, while pregnant. She already had a two-year-old kid, you know, so because of the loss of his income, had to move into income-based apartments and was relying on, you know, SNAP for food for her family. Again, unexpectedly just lost her husband. You, you never know when you're gonna suddenly be chucked into a bad position.[Rock music playing] And some of the comments on this article just disgusted me. You know, this is a woman who's in a really bad place, and just the way people hiding behind a keyboard can talk about people, just gross, all right? Sometimes, you can keep your comments to yourself. Now, and, and I've been, uh, deleting people from my friends at this point, 'cause if I see you post something that's just disgusting and, uh, hateful of others for no reason, you'd have no idea what their situation is, just done with it. Just done with it. We, as people, need to try to figure out a way to come together. Things have gotten ridiculous. But if y- if you could do the bare minimum and leave your comments to yourself on these kinda articles, her family and friends could be reading these things. She could be reading these things. It was like back when people would die from COVID. You know, somebody loses a local family member and people would be posting the laugh react. It's like, "That's someone's mom, all right? What is wrong with you people?" Ugh.
Again, o- on, on any side, no matter what your politicals, you know, insanity is, no matter what side you, you know, side with, shut up every once in a while. Geez, people. [laughs] Like, you have no idea what your comments, what kinda impact they could have on somebody who's going through a horrible time. Why would somebody do that? Anyhow, I hope that our government can get it together. Just work it out already. I- it's getting stupid. Get together, work it out, stop pointing fingers, do your jobs! All right? Y'all been on vacation, not getting nothing done, collecting a paycheck while other people aren't getting paid, you know, like the military and such. Get back to work, get the job done, learn to work together. This is stupid. All right. Rant over. I'll find something cheerier for the next break, I promise. I just, you know, I can't help but get disgusted with humanity sometimes and, ugh. It's just sad. It's just sad what the world has become. Be good to people. It's not that hard.
Now, think before you speak. Be cool! That's all you gotta do. Be cool, all right? You'll feel better about your day if you be cool. If all you do is spread negativity, you're just walking around miserable. You're making yourself, uh, feel like crap. Stop it.
My stupid computer keeps, like, freezing up on me. It's driving me nuts. Trying to dig up stories and then all of a sudden none of them will open. I like to open lots of tabs at once. Should be able to do that in 2025. Should be able to. But apparently not. Not in here. Okay. Let's see.
I guess we could talk about dating. It's the only tab that would open. [laughs] Let's see. There's a new, uh, dating trend called chalance. Daters are rejecting chill culture and demanding something new. Chalance. Apparently what this is all about is dating people who, uh, [laughs] like show up, make plans, actually care about them [laughs]. Isn't that how dating's supposed to be? I guess nonchalance was, uh, was the prior trend. Just like, "Yeah, yeah, I got a girlfriend, but no, I haven't talked to her in a few weeks. I don't really give a crap. You know, I got things to do." [laughs] All right. Well, good to see people are trying to take an interest in one another yet again. Um, yet doing things like [laughs] listening to you and remembering things you say. I don't know. I guess I just always thought when it came to dating, you're trying to find someone who you wanna stick with, right? Like, I don't, I don't know. If right out of the gate it's like, "Nah, I'm not feeling this," then you move on. Not just like, "Ah, keep her around. I'll keep him around. He's a jerk, he's a piece of crap, but, you know, whatever, it'll do." You know what I say? If it's, if it's time, dump him! That's right. Move on. Find somebody who's, uh, [laughs] into chalance. [laughs] Why is this a thing? [sighs] I guess probably because of things like the, you know, alpha dude culture. I was watching a YouTube video yesterday. I was attempting to watch TV to take my mind off of my mind, and I, I watched, like, maybe five minutes of it. It was about this, uh, TikTok influencer outta Utah, and he has this... I, I didn't make it to the end, but it seemed like it was gonna end with some, like, uh, corruption and maybe jail time or something. So I don't know what happened, but you know, it, just one of these dudes, [sighs] th- these alpha dudes that... I just don't understand how any woman's gonna see these guys and be like, "Yeah, that's the dude for me." [laughs] Maybe all of that, these angry men who can't figure out how to get a girlfriend, and sadly, young guys seem to get it. Like, into these type of influencers.[heavy metal music] And then you got y- this supposed male loneliness epidemic going on. You know how you fix the male loneliness epidemic, dudes? You get into shallots, apparently. Yeah, it's called a "treat your lady like a human being that you care about," [laughs] and then you won't be lonely. But if you're on your social media page trashing women all day and just being an angry young man, well, y- y- you're not gonna get anywhere with, with the ladies. I hate to break it to you. Do you ever see any ladies with these manfluencers? No! [laughs]
Uh, so anyway, yeah, I hope you can find somebody who, like, cares about you. [laughs] You know, if you tell them you're into something, they take note. I don't know. Pay attention to your interests and things like that. Check in on you, see how you're doing. [laughs] Give you a hug every once in a while. [laughs] People are dumb. All right. Hopefully, now I can open more tabs. We'll find something better to talk about than dating. But, uh, it's Monday, and of course, my computer's g- gonna not cooperate with me, or not gonna cooperate with me. I can't speak, y- y- just forgive me, all right? I'm not perfect. I do it live. I don't pre-record and edit my show. Give me a break. [metal music] Really don't know how the, uh, time is going by so quick. It's, it's not a complaint. Um, trust me, I'm ready to be done [laughs] with the day, and there's plenty of it left. But, uh, yeah, I'll be digging a little bit for content, and next thing I know, it's like, "Uh, how did those two songs get over with already? [metal music] What is happening here? Oh, that's not a music bad." I'm losing it today, people. Starting to go off the rails. All right. [rock music] Friendly reminder, tomorrow, voting day. Get out and vote.
Talked about this couple of hours ago, but I'm gonna tell you now. Get out and vote tomorrow. Put an alarm in your phone, do whatever it takes. Local elections, extremely important and it's super easy. If you've never voted before, just get yourself a piece of mail, shows where you live, bring your ID, and then, get yourself over to your polling place. You can go to voteidaho dot... It's either org or gov. Try them both. I can't remember. Find your polling place, show up, and vote. You can research all of the candidates, get to know them by checking out East Idaho News. They've got a section called East Idaho Elects. You can find out about the candidates in your city
running for mayor, running for city council, and make an educated decision and get out and vote. Don't just have your friends tell you, "I like this person." Yeah, well, y- y- your friend might be dumb. Okay? I've got plenty of dumb friends. Doesn't mean I don't like them, they're just kinda dumb. Even me, I'm kinda dumb. I do dumb things all the time, all right? Then, I sit around and mentally beat myself up for it. Um, anyway, get out [laughs] and vote tomorrow. It's Election Day. It won't take very long at all. Our local elections always have horrible turnout. It's very, very disappointing, and we can change this by you simply getting out and voting. And telling your friends. You know, anybody you know who's 18, be like, "Hey, you gonna go vote?" And then, they get out and vote. You never know what kind of important matters may be going on. And when it comes to local elections, your vote really counts because so few people get out and vote in local elections. All get worried about the presidential election. Hate to tell you, but Idaho's electoral votes generally gonna go one direction. Much more important to get out and do that local voting. Not saying that it's not important to vote in the presidential election, it is, but local elections are so much more important. And, like, a fraction of the people show up for local elections that show up for the presidential election. So, get out and vote tomorrow. You can do it! You can do it. It's easy. It'll only take a few minutes. And it's very important for our community. So,
do it for me! Do it for your children. Do it for East Idaho. Get out and vote tomorrow. [rock music] The latest from Puscifer, Self Evident, you can catch them in Salt Lake City in May. And oh yeah, you know I'm gonna be there. Puscifer put on one of the best live shows I've seen in the last few years. Didn't even expect that to happen. I like that band a lot. Big fan. But I figure when you're playing with Primus and A Perfect Circle, you know, good luck just holding your own. But I think they stole the show. They were great. All the bands were great, by the way. Not trying to cut down on any of them, just trying to encourage you to go see Puscifer. All right, I just read a, you know, bothersome story here, at least to me, just 'cause it sounds very unpleasant. This 77-year-old French cyclist
was riding his bike home from the supermarket on a lonely road in the mountainous Cévennes region. Then, he went off a cliff. Yeah. Plummeted 130 feet into a ravine, just smashing down a rocky slope. And then, yeah, he's, he's just stuck in the bottom. And he wasn't able to climb out 'cause he's all busted up. So, every time a vehicle would drive by... I mean, 130 feet's, you know, quite a ways away, especially upward. And no matter how much you're like, "Help! Up there! Help me! Help!" You know, these people are driving. They're not gonna be able to hear him. So, well, luckily, he had, uh, some bottles of wine...
[Rock music playing]
And that's apparently what kept him alive. He went to the grocery store on his bike to get bottles of wine, and somehow that kept him alive. Uh! They're calling his survival a miracle. I don't think you should recommend... Or, I don't think I would recommend trying to stay alive on just wine. [laughs] You know? I guess if it's all you got, you're gonna give it a shot, but- Ugh! Can you imagine plummeting a 130 feet down a cliff, your bike's smashing into you? And this guy's old, he's 77. I mean, if I trip and hit my knee on the ground, I'm like, "Oh, oh!" You know, I burned my arm on the oven, [laughs] on the oven door trying to get a pizza out the other day.
Arms all sore. I'm like, "Oh, it hurts." Had to wear a long-sleeved shirt to work so I didn't disgust my coworkers. Just feel a little beat up today everybody. Physically and mentally, I hope you're surviving and having a good Monday. [laughs] Tuesday gonna be better, all right? I'm going to accomplish something at home, and I'm going to, once again, go to bed at a reasonable time, and, uh, it's gonna be a better day tomorrow. Day by day throughout the week, improvement. That's my goal. And I ain't riding a bike anywhere. Nowhere at all. Also, be careful out on the roads. Uh, Becca just messaged me and said she's seen multiple accidents. Slow down people. It, w- it takes like 10 minutes to drive across Idaho Falls. All right? Just take it easy. Chill out a little bit behind the wheel. Look around for others, 'cause it's the other idiots that generally cause these problems, and if some fool not paying attention, driving distracted, runs into you, you know what to do. You call my friends at The Advocates Injury Attorneys. Mm-hmm! They'll get you taken care of. They'll help you out. 208-471-4444. Tell Ben, "Yo, Ben! Victor told me to call you. This idiot just mowed into me 'cause he was, you know, mowing down a sandwich. Help me!" And they will. They will help you. [Rock music playing] Show has been rocketing by today, which I am very happy about. Hopefully, the rest of the day will, you know, go in that same trajectory. Hope your mornings are going nice, or afternoon, or whenever you're listening to this on demand everywhere podcasts can be found. Okay. And, uh, I'm just kind of amazed that after Halloween, it's been such a light news day. You know, I thought there'd be a lot of chaotic stories coming out relating to the Halloween holiday. Maybe everybody was just so sick of all the other mayhem, they just went out and had fun. Just had a good time. And I didn't even see any, any Florida Man crazy Halloween stories. Kinda bizarre. Usually, Florida Man, you can always rely on him to do something stupid on Halloween. So yeah, I hope your Halloween holiday was fun. I did see some people complaining about trunk or treats and this and that, but, you know, we hit a variety of neighborhoods. I saw a lot of kids out and about. I did a little bit of trick or treating myself 'cause I thought it would be funny, and it was funny. Everyone who answered the door laughed at my costume and gave me candy. So, you know, there- there's hope for the world. There are nice people out there still. I mean, I'm sure if I had kept it up long enough, somebody would've yelled at me, 'cause people are just cranky. But yeah, it was great fun. I hope yours, again, was, was very nice as well. Now we just gotta get ready for what? Thanksgiving. Time to clean the house. Yeah. Time to clean up the house, get ready for all them people to come over. Mm-hmm! Plot out meals and blah, blah, blah. And then, Christmas is coming! Mm-hmm!
Mentioned it earlier, Josh and I locked down the Christmas library for Classy 97. When's that coming? Sometime soon. You'll be able to get your holiday cheer from the Christmas music station, Classy 97. It's a good playlist, all right? And, uh, you know, on K-BEAR, there are so few rock Christmas songs that are actually good that we don't tend to play a lot of that. We leave it up to Classy to do the Christmas thing. You know, The Hawk does some stuff, 'cause country music, there's a lot of Christmas songs. You know, they're not as good as the ones you'll hear on Classy but if you like country Christmas, that'll be the place to go. We did have a couple rock Christmas tracks drop, tracks drop. Uh, Poppy put one out. Pretty Reckless did as well.
So I don't know, we might sprinkle a few in, but, uh, I'll wait! Okay? I already pummeled you with them a couple weeks ago. I'll wait till closer to the, uh, Christmas holiday to do that again. And right now I got a big- a- build up... A big epic story to end the show! Wish me luck! [Rock music playing] Yeah, earlier on in the show we were talking about the reasons people listen to radio, and had a few people call and say, "Because of your show." Aw, you warmed my heart. Thank you very much. But hopefully you enjoy the music lineup as well. You know, we'll continue on blasting tunes till Peaches and I get back here for the noon hour of madness and mayhem. In the meantime, we gotta go to the Monday morning meeting. Ugh! Wish me luck on surviving that. It's always all bright in that room. Ugh! But at least I work with cool people, so it won't be too bad. And, uh, I ain't got nothing to contribute, so my part's easy. Leave me alone! Meh!
Anyhow, I hope you don't have any meetings you got to deal with today. I hope you have nothing but fun ahead, a relaxing day. And, uh, yeah, w- we'll have fun during the lunch hour program, I promise. Okay? Thank you again for your support of this program and radio station. Thanks for listening to my crap, and have a wonderful rest of your morning. I'll be talking to you soon. [rock music plays] Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show.
