I was doing pretty good as I got up and rolling, but I don't know. Maybe I just want a nap. I don't know. Not feeling very cozy in the studio. Boo.
Anyway, at least the weather's good. Yeah. Looking like a a pretty nice day today and should just get better and better as we roll toward the weekend. Hey. If I can get by without having to use the snowblower for a bit, that'd be great.
So fingers crossed. Fingers crossed. Looking fantastic for the next few days. However, this could lead to some flooding in some areas because we've had a drastic temperature change happen. You know, gonna be getting up into the forties.
I know my neighborhood is melting, which means up in the mountains. You know, a little bit of runoff, so I don't know. Just be aware that depending on where you're living, there could be some, potential flood issues. If you know you're prone to this, I don't know what you need to do because, thankfully, I'm not in one of those spots, but I would imagine you know or else do some Googling. Sandbags?
I I don't know. I don't know. Have a shop vac ready, everybody, but I I hope nobody has to deal with any major issues. Nothing worse than, oh, it's getting nice outside and then you gotta deal with, yeah, flooded basement. Something like that.
That sucks. So anyhow, I was gonna say that's all that's in the news. Well, that would be very inaccurate. There's plenty of news, but doing my best to avoid it. What do we got going on that's not related to politics?
Okay. Pocatello, got your fourteenth annual Gate City Brewfest happening on March 8. Article available if you want more information at eastidahonews.com. It's been many years, but I have gone to the Pocatello or I should say Gate City Brewfest. It's kind of fun how they set it up.
You know, they'll have, let's see, 17 participating locations. And, you know, so you buy your tickets, and then you get to wander around Old Town, hit a variety of venues, and try, around 80 different flavors of beer. Now don't try all 80. Alright? Very easy to get out of control at an event like this, but thankfully, they do it pretty early.
1PM to 6PM. Yeah. If you wanna pick yourself up tickets let's see. You can buy them at Wanderlust, also at the Center Street Clubhouse, the Pocatello Chevic Chamber of Commerce, and the historic downtown office at Lookout Pointe. So if you're looking for something to do, not this weekend, but the following weekend, I mean, if the weather keeps up like it is, should be pretty nice.
Should be pretty nice. So there you go. Something to get out and do if you're into bruise. All right. Okay.
I'm gonna dig for some funny news. Well, most of what I'm finding, not very funny. I'm getting annoyed. Getting annoyed at myself today. Forgot my meds.
You know? Usually, I've got this little little jar of meds in case I need some meds. Like, maybe I'm dealing with a little bit of acid reflux. Of course, the one day that I've got that happening to me, I leave the meds at home. So I'm gonna have to time it right.
And when we get a nice big long run of songs, I'm gonna have to jet. Go pick those up. Talk about torture. Going back to your house nice and early. It's gonna be all cozy and then I have to just turn right around and come back here.
Oh, I don't know what my deal is, but I just wanna be home today. I don't wanna do anything. I'm supposed to go to the dentist after work and I'm just not feeling it today. I don't even, you know, need to have anything crazy done. Just a cleaning, you know, nice and simple.
Not having any issues, but I just don't wanna deal with it. It's like, oh, by the time I get done with that, might as well be bedtime. So anyway, there's, there's my complaints out of the way. Alright. Let's see what we got online for content.
Dumb things that people are very proud of. Alright. Sure. Let's see if I, am guilty of any of these things. People who are proud to say they don't read.
Well, that's certainly not me, but I have noticed, especially in re recent years, the rise of anti intellectualism. Yes. Scientists, doctors, Some people should read like actual books, not comment sections on social media. Alright. Actual books by experts in their field.
I don't know if I've talked to many people who would be proud of not reading. I mean, I've talked to people who don't read, and I'm like, why? Reading's great. It's a good mind exercise. And, you know, it's not like I'm killing it on the reading front.
I've been, sucking at reading for, I don't know, pretty decent amount of time now. Need to up my game. Oh, feel uncomfortable. I think that jet to get the, the meds is gonna happen quicker quicker than, planned. All right.
What else do we have here for dumb things that people are proud of? Let's see. Former coworker was proud to have only changed one diaper for his three kids. Oh, good for you. Look at you being a dad.
Yeah. I I wouldn't brag about, not being willing to take care of basic necessities for your children. You might want to keep that one to yourself. Most people are not gonna think that's pretty cute. All right.
Let's see. Being violent and unable to emotionally regulate as an adult, AKA the, I don't take no crap from no one people. Yeah. Oh, nothing more pathetic than that. You know, people who are in their thirties or forties, and they're still trying to, like, get in fights at the bar or something like that.
Like, dude, I mean, it's sad when it's young people as well. It's it's just as pathetic, but, I don't know. Maybe one of these days the culture for dudes will change. Like, the thing with getting in a fight is you could get in the wrong fight one time. All it takes is one wrong hit to the head and you're like severely messed up for life or dead.
Not worth it. Not worth it. Let the other loud mouth, you know, huff and puff and just do whatever you can to get out of this situation. Now, obviously, if you gotta defend yourself, you gotta defend yourself. But, yeah, being the tough guy can definitely just lead to bad situations.
Alright. You wanna end up in jail for life now. Let's see what else we have here. People who work too much, have, you know, a lot of social media followers, people who don't get enough sleep, People who base their whole identity on a political party. Yeah.
All these things are pretty, dumb. Gotta say, they are pretty dumb. Okay. Well, anyway, I'm feeling distracted. I'm gonna find some content, record a quick break, go and get my meds.
I'll be back. Let's talk about prizes you can win. We got some pretty sweet prizes up for grabs right now. We're doing make the switch with Brent Gordon Loth. How about a free new Nintendo Switch bundle with Mario Party jamboree and a carrying case?
Yeah. That'd be a pretty sweet prize, Well, you've got till the end of next week to fire up each one of our apps, k Bear, Cannonball, and alt, and sign up once in each app for the best odds of winning. We're gonna draw a winner, next Friday. So you got plenty of time to get in to win, but, what are you doing? Why wait?
Get into win now. What if you forget to enter and you would have happened to be the one that we drew as a winner? That would suck. Yeah. Get into win a Nintendo switch with Brent Gordon law and make the switch Fire up any of our apps and enter to win now.
The benefits to living in a small town. I mean, I guess it's not a small town. A small city Was able to, go pick up some I am aware of the Woah. What's going on? Pushed the wrong button.
Anyway, I was able to, run home real fast, pick up meds, take said meds, And, hopefully, it'll do the trick in, eliminating the discomfort that I am feeling as we get rolling for the day here. Very annoying. Alright. Sorry. I was distracted right when I got back in here because I was scrolling Reddit.
And maybe I should scroll Reddit not logged in to my own account because all all I get is stuff that's tailored to me. So I'm getting Red Dead threads popping up. What bugs you about the game? And I was actually playing Red Dead just last night. And, there's very few things that bug me about that game.
Very, very few. But one of them actually occurred while I was playing last night in chapter three. I don't think it's a major spoiler. But at one point, there's a lion in chapter three, like an actual lion. And this game has some of the best graphics of any video game that's been released, but this lion, I don't know what happened.
This lion is trash looking. It really pulls you out of the game when all of a sudden, with all of the amazing looking animals in this game, they have the most trash looking lion you could possibly imagine. So I had to, comment that that was something that bothered me about the game. And then I was like, oh, yeah. I'm supposed to jump on the radio and give people a show.
Well, anyway, just getting kind of brutalized by acid reflux this morning. I don't know if I had bought some, Folgers instant coffee, and I don't know if it's just stronger than the Winco classic roast instant coffee, but holy cow. I'm a disaster with acid reflux this morning. It is so uncomfortable. So, hopefully, the, the meds do the trick because this is very distracting, and I have a lot to do.
And all I wanna do is, like, just crawl up in my bed and hide. Instead, I'm going to dig through content online to share with you and try to entertain you. My apologies again for engaging in a a comment section regarding a video game that's like eight years old when I should be finding things to talk to you about. So that is what I'm gonna work on right now. I appreciate your patience.
It's just been a a rough first hour of the day. But, hey, we got the whole day ahead, and it's gonna improve. Right? Absolutely. The weather's good.
It's not Monday. I don't know. That's about all I got. I wanna give thanks to the creators of, of Tums. Now I did take something that'll hopefully help even better than that, but for quick instant relief, Tums.
Do they need a, you know, a spokesperson? I'll be the guy. Give me some money, Tums. It's probably one of those products that doesn't need marketed. Like, you don't see TV commercials for ibuprofen.
Right? They they just don't need to. They know people are gonna go buy it. May maybe there will be some specific brands or something. Like, you might see Advil every once in a while pop up, but not too often.
What about Tums? You seen any ads for Tums? I wanna be the Tums guy. Hey. Did you pound down too much, instant coffee shooter to start your day?
And now you feel like you're gonna die? Try some Tums. Well, thankfully thankfully, the last, ten minutes have been better than the prior hour. My goodness. So, anyway, if anybody knows, who to get in touch with at Tums, I'd be happy to, again, be their new spokesperson.
Let's see. Taking a look at things that people on the Internet said they were taught in school that have objectively been proven wrong. Alright. This could be interesting. I know there are a lot of things we learned in school that, you know, that's been thrown right out.
So let's see if, any of those pop up in here. Alright. Tilting your head back with a nosebleed. Did they teach us that in school? I don't remember being taught that.
I think the only thing that's effective in doing is preventing the blood from pouring all over the place. I don't think that, it stops the nosebleed, and it also sounds like it could potentially be bad. Now I'm not a doctor. I don't know what you're supposed to do with a nosebleed. But according to this person on the Internet, that's been proven wrong.
So, allegedly, you shouldn't do that. Let's see what else we got here. This side of your tongue tastes sour. This, side tastes sweet. I do remember seeing a graphic in school, but I thought it was like the outsides of your tongue picked up on the sweet flavor, the inside sour or vice versa.
I remember that. I remember being taught that in school. So, apparently, according to the Internet, that's been proven wrong. I mean, it doesn't really make a lot of sense, does it? But, yeah, I absolutely remember learning that.
As well as that humans use only 10% of their brain power. Yeah. That's been proven incorrect. I think there are still a lot of people that believe that, to this day, you know, thinking all of a sudden we're gonna be able to unleash psychic powers and, you know, telekinesis. Let's see.
What else do we have here that I won't always have a calculator with me? We've talked about that one before. Pluto is a planet. Alright. Well, at the time, it was.
Yeah. You kids. Back when we were young, we had a certain number of planets in the solar system and Pluto was one of them. Oh, let's see here. Four food groups, then he had the food pyramid.
Think all that's been kinda cast out. Nah. This one's funny. The US government is made up of a system of checks and balances that limit the president's power. I do remember being taught that.
It's supposed to still be that way. Let's see. Oh, now we're getting into these big, long scientific explanations of things. That's too much for my brain right now. Still, waiting for the the meds to kick in.
Alright. Let's see. Alright. This is getting boring. So I'm just gonna stop.
Okay. I was just reading an article about a woman who I I don't know who she sued, but the National Health Service in The UK paid out a 6 figure payment to a woman after she developed a crippling candy crush addiction after the side effects of a prescription drug impaired her impulse control. It's a medicine intended to treat restless leg syndrome and Parkinson's. And yeah. Apparently, it just makes candy crush like super addictive.
So small rewards like opening a loot box, getting a new item, or finishing a level generate this boost of dopamine in the brain. And I guess it really kicked that dopamine burst up a a bunch of notches. And then she ended up moving on to virtual slot machine games. Her doctor apparently failed to warn her of the side effects, prescribed her a dose double the recommended amount, so they hooked her up with about $215. Man, if only I could get paid out for my red debt addiction.
I don't know why I'm so addicted to that game. Is it medication? Is that what's going on here? That's why I can't get enough? You know, putting in literally over a thousand hours into a video game.
I want some money. Though, I don't know. Sue and Rockstar, I like their game so much I just couldn't bring myself to do it. So anyway, made me feel a little bit better. At least I'm addicted to a quality game.
You know? Candy Crush addiction. That that's just not cool. You you gotta get addicted to better video games than Candy Crush. Alright?
So all of my radio friends, well, maybe not all of them, but a big chunk of my radio friends, are all gonna be taking a flight to Las Vegas tomorrow to enjoy the rock radio convention. Guess who's not going? Yeah. Me. Shame.
So, anyway, I pulled up a variety of stories to make myself feel better about not having to deal with air travel. Because then may maybe I won't care that I'm not joining everyone joining everyone for all the fun. You know, I might have ended up on a flight where they forced a dead passenger to sit next to me for the entire flight. Okay. Yeah.
We are gonna talk about dead people here. There was a couple flying from Melbourne, Australia to Doha. I don't know where Doha is. But, anyway, a passenger died well mid flight. So the crew decided, hey.
Can you guys scoot over? We're gonna put this, dead guy next to you. And the couple just had to sit there for, like, four hours with a dead body sitting next to him. They said they were a little bit traumatized. Now I would imagine as such, flying is not fun.
It's not great. It's not my favorite, means of travel. It's quick sometimes, but I think ultimately if I've got the time to do it, I prefer a nice road trip. I don't have to deal with fellow passengers or if I do, they're generally people I like. I get to pick the tunes, take my time, stop and get food that doesn't suck.
But yeah. I forgot what I was gonna say. Anyway, still a little distracted by the instant coffee creeping up through my throat. It feels so unpleasant. Guess I'll have to tone it down with the Folgers.
Anyway, yeah. Be grateful if you've recently had to fly and you didn't have to sit next to a corpse the whole time. In other flight related news, Orlando International Airport hopes to add flying cars by 2028. Alright. Listen.
We are not ready as a society for flying cars. K? People are too dumb. They're too irresponsible. And if there's anywhere on the planet that should be the last place to implement flying cars, that would be in Florida.
Alright? Well, or maybe it's the best place. If we wanna see the worst case scenario with the implementation of flying cars, just do it in Florida. Sure. Sure.
Go for it. Twenty twenty eight, that's not that far away. I know people have always dreamed of flying cars, but I'm sorry. People are just too dumb. We can't have them.
Fun as it might be. And in our final flight related story today, got a pilot bitten by a tarantula mid flight. Yeah. You're just trying to do your job. You know, flying a plane.
And I would assume it was a passenger snuck it onto a plane or something. They're they're like, nah. We think it just snuck onto the plane during a a recent stop. I mean, he's he's fine. He wasn't, like, poisoned or anything, but I bet it hurts.
You know? They they got pretty big teeth. Just the thought that there could be a tarantula wandering around the airplane that you're on. I don't like it. Not a fan.
So yeah. Yeah. I don't need to go to Vegas. Who knows what I'd have to put up with on the flight? And also the Vegas Airport.
There is I mean, Salt Lake's Airport, I think, is the worst as far as being an aggravation to travel through. At least the last time I went, because you you had to, just travel so far in the airport on foot. I know. Oh, woe is me. Put in a moving walkway.
Come on. Maybe they have by now. But the Vegas Airport, oh, it doesn't get more annoying than that. Because airports are annoying to begin with, but then you put slot machines all over the place. Being in the Vegas Airport feels like being in a casino.
And, you know, the last thing that you wanna see when you're trying to get out of Vegas is more casino action. You've had enough of the ding, ding, ding, ding, and the flashing lights. You just wanna sit in the airport and get out of there. Oh, it's torturous. So alright.
I'm feeling pretty good about not going to Vegas now. Plus, yeah. You know, I got that acid reflux, not feeling good. Anyway, wouldn't be any fun. All right.
There's your freak news. And I got plenty more stories already dug up for the show. This is great. Great. And if you're heading to an upcoming show, you feel free to wear whatever kind of shirt you want.
I was just looking through an article at spin.com about the unwritten rule of never wearing the shirt of the band you're going to see. I've always thought this one is very silly, but I've seen people shame people for this. Oh, dude. You're gonna be that guy? You're gonna wear that shirt?
You're gonna wear the headliner shirt to the show, dude. That's not cool. You don't wanna stand out like some kind of loser. Alright. As a guy who's been in many bands throughout my life, I love seeing people wear our band shirts.
It's great. If I was up on stage, I looked out. You know, you got a huge crowd of people and most of them are wearing your merch. That would be awesome, I would think. But even in this article, there's a few artists who are like, no.
That's not cool. Maybe your merch isn't very cool. Maybe people just don't wanna wear it to your show. Yeah. Just wanna remind you.
There's nothing wrong with wearing the shirt for the artist you're going to see. I would imagine most artists like it because they know you're a supporter. You know, bands make their money off of merch. They're not making money off of music. So buy a t shirt and wear it to the show.
I've actually been thinking about launching some Victor Wilt merch, but I'm, nervous that people wouldn't buy it. Yeah. Nothing worse. You're like, alright. I'm gonna make some cool designs, get the online store set up, and then nobody buys anything.
But I've got some pretty cool designs. I think I I would wear them. That's another thing people say you shouldn't do. Wear your own merch. Like if you're in a band, nothing worse than wearing your own merch.
I've liked all the merch I've created for my bands. So I'm always stoked to wear it. You know? And it's good advertising. You know, the average person walking around doesn't know that you're in that band.
You gotta get the word out. So I don't know. Maybe I will. Maybe I'll put up a poll in the, Khabear Facebook group. Like, alright.
Would you guys buy? And I'll I'll show you one design. The the cat playing the liquid cheese guitar. You may have seen it before, but, that one's good to go. I got some other design ideas.
Let's go to the phones here. K Bear, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this? Good morning, Victor.
This is Griffin. Griffin, what's up, man? Oh, not much. Taking a day off to go see a band. Yeah.
You go into, the disturbed show? Hell, yeah. Nice, dude. Nice. Are you gonna speak there?
Peaches is gonna be there. I'm stuck. I'm stuck here in town. Not able to make it out, but, look for the look for the giant. He'll be there.
So I have a gripe about merch. Alright. Is it anything aside from the pricing? No. Because I I'm a bro who sews.
So to an extent, I understand the pricing of the at least the materials Okay. And the the work that goes into it. No. No. No.
My gripe is I'm a fat guy, and people think that fat guys aren't music fans or something. Yeah, dude. I have noticed, and I've talked to Peaches about this because he's just naturally a big guy. Right. You you tend to see things top out at, like, maybe a two XL.
Right. And it's funny because when we've ordered shirts, for the radio station in the past, you know, coming from being in a band and having ordered merch before and just kind of learning about the most popular sizes, it amazes me that I have not been able to convince management in the past to load up on like three XLs and four XLs. I mean, we usually we get a small supply of the two XLs, and they're they're gone really fast. I mean, me Yeah. You know, with how much, I've beefed up in the last year.
I mean, I could I could rock a two XL, and I'm not a, you know, huge guy. So I'll see. And I just, so I I'm happy because disturbed at least their merch today, looking at the preview merch, they've got up to four X for a couple items, right? Yeah. But like I wear a five, Nobody nobody ever has a five ever.
Yeah. And I I know don't need to buy hundreds. They just need to buy, like, a few. You know? Totally, man.
I mean, I've been to lots of shows, and there are music fans of all different sizes, and I would imagine they'd sell a lot of those sizes of shirts. I really think they would. I'd buy more than a few. I mean, I would think the least popular size is probably a small. You know, like at the end of, any kind of merch run, that's what we always end up with leftover are small t shirts.
Right. So And excited because they're sending you too many or just nobody's buying them. Well, yeah. I mean, a small t shirt, there's very few, like, grown men who will who can wear one, like jade, maybe. That's about it.
You know? So, you know, if you're a band like Disturbed, for example, that you know, the bulk of your audience, I would imagine, is in that, you know, on average, about the 40 year old range because they Yeah. Blew up when, you know, people our age were teenagers. Probably not a lot of children, buying your merch. So I'd say it'd be smarter to have, larger sizes than smalls.
Well, especially if you look at David due to two x. Easy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Gotta be.
He's a two XL. Like, like I said, they got four x. It's just I just wanted to gripe a little bit on the air because that's what you do in nowadays. Better on air than on social media because at least it gives me content. Yeah.
So well, cool, man. You'll have to post a pic of whatever merch you pick up in the KhabAir group so I can scope it out. So Oh, yeah. I'm definitely getting a hat, and I'm picking up the, twenty fifth anniversary vinyl for sure. Nice.
Heck yeah. It it'll be a great show, man. They always kill it. I'm not like a massive disturbed fan, but their show was one of the, best live shows I've seen in the last number of years. They they kill it.
I I'll admit I've wanted to see this disturbed for a long time, but I'm going because seven dust. Well I've been waiting to see seven dust live for twenty years. Out of all the bands on the bill, seven dust is definitely my favorite. So, you're in for a treat. They're one of the best live bands, man.
They're so good. I'm so excited, bud. Yeah. I'll post some pictures and throw it up on the, on the k bandrockeveryfacebook.com. Cool, man.
Throw in advertisements, like, share, and subscribe. You know? Heck yeah, dude. I look forward to seeing it, and, hope you have a blast. Travel safe.
Thanks, bud. Have a great day. You too, man. See you. K Bear, you are live on the show.
Keep that in mind. Who's this? Hey. This is Zach. How's it going?
Zach, I'm doing pretty good. What's up, dude? Hey. So, when we're talking about them, like, five x and bigger shirts Mhmm. Or even, like, three x and bigger, if the band isn't offering it, hit up a strip mall.
Go to one of them little places, one of them little shirt places, have them make you a shirt, wear that to the concert. Yeah. Show the band. Exactly. Show the band when they see you wearing something that's not their merch.
Show them. Be like, well, if you guys would make it in a four x, I would pick it up, you know? Yeah, dude. I totally agree with you. If bands aren't giving the opportunity for you to wear their official merch, might as well get some bootleg stuff going and show them, hey.
I'd love to support you, but, you know, I gotta do what I gotta do. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. So well, cool, Zach.
Appreciate the call today, man, and, hope you have a great rest of the week. Hey. You too, Victor. We'll talk to you later. Right on, man.
Peace. Peace. Alright. So if I can find the, high quality copy of that, cat electric guitar liquid cheese cheeseburger thing, I'll, upload that with a poll if you would buy that kind of merch. Because I I don't know.
I wanna see people rocking Victor Will chill merch. I think it'd be cute. Anyway and what? You you think management's gonna pay for a run of it? Yeah.
No. I gotta do this myself. Oh, boy. Do I have exciting music festival news for you? The Fyre Festival's coming back.
Boy, some people just don't know when to leave it alone. Right? You watch any of those documentaries about the fire festival. I think Netflix has one and Hulu has one. What a disaster.
What a disaster. Why on earth would anyone think, well, let's give it another go? Well, appellate apparently, Billy McFarland, he's all down. Bringing it back. May 30 to June 2 at Isla Mujeres off the coast of Cancun, Mexico.
So they've got a new website, fire,fyre.mx, and they got great deals on tickets. They range anywhere from $1,400 to $1,100,000 Yeah. Think them tool tickets are expensive? 1,100,000.0. What does that even get you?
Hold on. Let me see if it tells you on their website. K. I pulled it up here. The the website's already annoying.
It's counting upward. Okay. Why did it need to count to a hundred? I don't know, but let's click the giant buy tickets banner that's scrolling across the bottom of the screen. Okay.
This website is I guess it's, perfect for the fire festival. This website is not intuitive whatsoever. When I went to the ticket page, it's just kinda blank and I'm trying to scroll down. No. Apparently, you have to scroll up.
You gotta scroll up to look through the, ticket prices here. So general access, that's the $1,400 ticket. Now, if you want to upgrade to the $5,000 ticket and get the elevated experience, what does that mean? Let's see here. The Fire Fuego package.
So, you get the four day access and you have VIP access so you get, front row viewing of the water stage and close viewing of the fight pit. Now, what's the fight pit? Alright. Based on what I've seen when it comes to the Fyre Festival, there should not be anything called a fight pit at this particular event. People were already prepared to fight just by attending last time.
Okay. And, does that even get you a hotel? Or is that just VIP? Like, you get a little bit closer to the stage. Okay.
Where's the $1,000,000 package? Oh, there's a $25,000 package. I gotta see what a million bucks gets you here. Okay. The Prometheus package for $1,000,000.
Alright. Hold on. Okay. That'll get you a room, get you a hotel. So you got the, VIP access, on stage access at the water stage, fight team access at the fight pit, curated itinerary of fire experiences, twenty four seven private chauffeur service, dedicated on-site concierge, and access to the Prometheus Marina.
1 Million Dollars. Good luck. Good luck selling those tickets, Billy. Holy cow. I mean, I I would be extremely nervous to even invest the $1,400 based on the dumpster fire that the previous festival was.
But, you know, some people, they just never give up. Never give up. Alright, bro. Let's give it another go. Fyre Festival.
You know, if if something has a bad reputation, you gotta at least rebrand. K? Speaking of the cops, let's talk about some people recently busted for stealing fixtures out of bathrooms. Now you may have seen the gold toilet thing. Golden toilet stolen from an English palace in what they're calling an audacious raid.
It was audacious. Yeah. Apparently, the one of a kind 18 karat gold toilet was swiped in under five minutes from Blenheim Palace, a sprawling English country mansion where Winston Churchill was born. So let's see here. It was, three men engaged in the heist.
Now this is a toilet that weighed 215 pounds. It was insured for about $6,000,000. The total value of the gold at the time was apparently 3,500,000.0. Now the guys, I guess, have cut up and sold the toilet. They melted the toilet down, sold the gold, but they got busted somehow for it.
But, yeah, they they broke into the bathroom through a window. And then what? Did they just chuck it out the window? I mean okay. Here we go.
Five men crashed through the wooden gates of the palace before dawn the next morning in two stolen vehicles, tore across a field, smashed the window, stole the toilet and just booked it out of there. There's cameras everywhere people, all right? You got a like $3,000,000 toilet somebody's gonna be watching it And then there was a woman who walked into a restaurant and she just stole the bathroom sink out of out of the restaurant. This wasn't a gold sink. K?
She brought her giant person I guess She had some kind of a bag Goes in to use the bathroom And yeah Just walks out with a sink Why? Why is what I wanna know. The gold toilet. You can understand to a degree there's money to be made. What are you gonna do with a a sink worth like a hundred bucks?
Some restaurant's cruddy sink. Yeah? Well, it does not seem worth the jail time to me. I don't know. She must have really liked it.
Really liked it. Maybe it was a sweet design or something. I don't know. I've never seen a sink and I was like I've gotta have it. I've gotta have this sink But I guess I'm into different things.
Everybody's got the things that get them excited. For some people, apparently, it's, you know, bathroom fixtures. Awesome sink. Gold toilet. Anyway, that's what's up in the news of, bathroom related heists today, so there you go.
Holy cow. Almost 09:00 already. How much have I gotten done? Zero point zero of what I need to do. I hope you're being more productive than me today, but I guess I have been giving you a show.
So that's the most important thing that I need to be doing at the moment. Alright. What do we got in the news here? Thousands of children in England accused of witchcraft in the past decade? What year is it again?
What do you mean? Alright. I understand. I've had teenagers. It might seem like at times they're possessed by evil spirits, but now they're just teenagers.
K? Thousands? What do they do? Is this a crime to be accused of witchcraft? I thought we got done believing in witchcraft, like, what, a couple hundred years ago?
You remember them Salem witch trials and things like that? Well, apparently, England a little bit behind the times. Okay. There's a new documentary coming out. Let's see here.
The film's called, Kindoki Witch Boy, which, tells the story of Mardoche Yembi, who was accused of witchcraft as a child growing up in North London and was subjected to an exorcism. Alright. Depending on the exorcism, it might not be too bad. Right? I don't know.
I've watched some some movies where sometimes the exorcism's pretty brutal. Alright? You know, if you just got somebody kinda hanging over you going, get. You get spirit. Get.
That that wouldn't be too bad. I don't know. Depending on your age, it might be a little bit frightening. But, thousands? I don't know.
In my humble opinion, I don't think witchcraft is something we need to worry about. That's just my personal opinion. But, yeah. That that never popped into my head when my kids were being a pain as teenagers. No offense to my girls.
They were very good teenagers. It was, you know, just more of an attitude thing every once in a while. I'm I'm pretty lucky. We got along pretty good when they were teenagers. But, yeah, never had it pop in my head.
Hey. You've been up in your room playing with the Ouija board? What's going on with you? Why are you behaving this way? Get the holy water.
I don't I don't know the proper procedure for an exorcism, but, yeah. I I recommend you take your kids to a counselor if, you know, you suspect they might be possessed by, evil spirits. You know? Check with some regular doctors first before you go, you know, to the to the extreme of putting them through an exorcism. Thousands of kids.
Alright. Well, I'll have to watch this documentary whenever it comes out. That's just kinda crazy to me, but I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, in this day and age. And I see a lot of weird stuff on social media. Just a heads up.
This story's gross. If you were concerned about people doing things to taint your food, you're not gonna like it. Fair warning. Here we go. Have you recently been to New Hampshire?
Or maybe in the last four years, did you ever stop at the Monodnock food co op and purchase any, I don't know, anything? Well, we've got a New Hampshire woman arrested Friday. This is why you should always wash your vegetables. Not just because they might have a little bit of, pesticide on them or things like that. Might be something worse on them.
Yeah. She was arrested after police found footage of her, relieving herself on food products at the grocery store where she was employed and found a trove of online videos documenting similar disgusting acts dating back four years. What kind of products might you ask? Well, they had to recall their organic quinoa, cornmeal, polenta, coconut shreds, and raw walnuts, as well as a variety of other pieces of produce. And then, apparently, in these videos, they also discovered maybe some, countertops and other surfaces and objects needed to be cleaned as well.
Oldest videos, again, dating back to 2021. After reviewing the videos, police surmised that the serial public urinator likely tormented not only the grocery store, but a slew of nearby communities with her, her behavior. She's been charged with felony criminal mischief. And it seems like that's the first time that that phrase criminal mischief just seems seems to fit the crime. I mean, I it's a bad crime.
K? You know, you could make somebody, sick I would imagine. And it's just above anything else disgusting. But, yeah. Just, you know, I want to remind you wash your veggies.
Maybe you need to wash your quinoa too. Oh, man. Just got done chatting with Jay Davis. And then right when I'm gonna jump on air, he just leaves. It's like, dude, you know, we could have done a break, talked about some quality content.
What are you afraid of? He's chicken. That's right. You get, you get Skeletor. You get on out of here.
Prior to Jade walking in, I was reading an article about, taking a break from your smartphone to reboot your mood. This should be common sense, but apparently researchers sat down and were like, we're gonna figure out exactly how long you need to check out from your phone to, you know, feel great. And that turns out to be about two weeks. You can just put your smartphone down for two weeks. You're gonna feel fantastic, apparently.
You have better mental health, better subjective well-being, and better sustained attention. So maybe, you know, the reason I can't sit down and read a book is because I stare at that stupid phone too much. Just scrolling through content that I hate. Like, that should show how addictive phones are. Yeah.
Doom scrolling. People do it. Like, just scrolling through things that are poison to their mind. Scrolling through things that make them angry. Why do we do that?
It's so stupid. Yeah. You could be flipping through a good book or riding a horse in Red Dead. Two weeks off from the phone. See, the problem is I gotta use my phone for work and I'm always posting that social content, videos and this and that, checking emails.
I don't know. I I'm sure I could cut down on the time and I really have, in recent weeks because holy cow, social media has become a cesspool and it's, it's very hard to spend much time on there. I don't know. Anyway, if you're if you're feeling down, if you're feeling crazy, if you're feeling like you can't focus, maybe put the phone down for a while if you can get away with it. If I could just totally eliminate all of the phone related stuff aside from maybe, like, text you know, phone stuff, stuff you actually use a phone for, all the Internet stuff for two weeks.
Wonder what that would do to my mind. Probably be pretty good. Anyway, just stay a friendly recommendation. I know I point this out all the time, but just another reminder to not just believe everything you see online. You know, do a little bit of digging, little bit of research.
As a Stephen King fan, I have seen tons of posts in the last twenty four hours about the adaptation of the dark tower series that's being done by Mike Flanagan. If you haven't seen any of his work, holy cow. He's great. Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix, Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House. All fantastic.
I couldn't be more stoked for Mike Flanagan to be the guy doing The Dark Tower because I don't know if you ever saw that dark tower movie. Not good. Not good. This is one of those things that needs to be like eight full length seasons. You can't cram it into an hour and a half.
It was ludicrous. Well, anyway, for the last twenty four hours, I've seen countless articles popping up about how Stephen King is joining the team to help write the, you know, screenplay for the show And it's not true. It's just not true. Stephen King insists he's not writing for Mike Flanagan's Dark Tower adaptation. Where does this stuff come from?
Who knows? Who knows? But the Internet runs rampant. They run wild with these things. And then the next thing you know, everybody's talking about it, and there's no truth to it whatsoever.
And I think that's fine. I mean the projects that Stephen King has been involved with the actual screenplay writing process, they haven't been very good. Sometimes you gotta leave it up to other people and Stephen King adaptations are in general terrible. They're awful if you've read the books. You know, like there was that recent, Salem's Lot HBO movie.
I mean, it was okay. But, I mean, you try to compare it to that amazing novel. The the movie was dumpster fire, you know. They did a pretty good job with it but still compared to the book. I don't know.
It it These are just big epic works and you can't cram that much material into that short of a time frame. Even making It two movies. So anyway, I'm very excited. I don't know when this will actually happen, but I hope I don't get hit by a bus before the release of the Dark Tower series by Mike Flanagan. That it's my favorite book series of all time.
And, if there's any hope for a proper adaptation, this is it. So stay tuned. As we get more information, I'll let you know as long as that information is true. But, yeah, you know, you you can't even believe a simple story about a movie in 2025 or a TV show. I don't know how many fake movie flyers I see pop up on Facebook all the time.
Well, I guess it's a good thing, right, that all that fact checking went away. That's gonna help us all get smarter. Alright, everybody. I'm gonna get out of here. I'll be back at noon for the noon hour of madness and mayhem.
Peaches is out today. So I don't know who's gonna join me. Maybe Jade and Josh. I don't know. We'll do something though.
We'll do a show. In the meantime, I guess I'll get that work done that I don't want to do. Alright. You're all the best. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show.
