The Viktor Wilt Show

This episode opens like a man waking up mid-existential crisis on a Monday, already spiritually defeated by the concept of a five-day workweek and physically betrayed by his own sleep cycle because he dared to stop drinking and accidentally unlocked “natural energy mode,” which immediately gets redirected into blasting through Resident Evil like a raccoon on Adderall. From there, we spiral into a full-blown economic meltdown where a crockpot of chili now costs the same as a minor surgical procedure, forcing a philosophical breakdown about whether humanity peaked at dollar menus. Then—BAM—we pivot into birthday dread, where the idea of a surprise party triggers social anxiety so intense it could power a small city, leading to a desperate attempt to escape Idaho entirely… only to discover every hotel in the western United States has been priced by demons. This man cannot flee. He is trapped. Financially. Spiritually. Geographically.

Then, like a late-night Reddit goblin, he descends into threads about “hot skills men should have,” aggressively rejecting the idea that any skill is attractive while simultaneously admitting he should probably learn to cook but refuses because pasta now costs $100. This somehow mutates into a chaotic tour of cities with “bad vibes,” where entire regions get spiritually roasted, including Boise catching stray bullets for existing incorrectly. From there, we enter a dystopian fever dream: fake meteors, robot dogs from hell patrolling the World Cup like it’s Black Mirror: FIFA Edition, and chicken fighting rings operating like it’s still 1783.

But WAIT—because now we’re debating child-free establishments like it’s the most pressing issue facing humanity, with the conclusion being: yes, children are chaos goblins, but adults are just larger, drunker chaos goblins you can legally eject from a bar. Meanwhile, Peaches is physically deteriorating in real time from yogurt poisoning (sucralose betrayal arc), unlocking “old man hip pain” like it’s a cursed achievement, while Victor watches in satisfaction like a prophet whose warnings have finally come true.

Then the show just fully dissolves into madness: ChatGPT is interrogated like a war criminal to rank entire states by intelligence, smelliness, ugliness, and vibes—Idaho gets absolutely COOKED in every category except “least annoying,” which is the most backhanded compliment in human history. And just when you think we’ve hit peak insanity, we close on horror movies dominating Hollywood, proving that yes—society is collapsing, but at least the content is good.

What is The Viktor Wilt Show?

The Viktor Wilt Show daily recap! If you miss the show weekdays from 6A-10A MST, you've come to the right place.

Speaker 1: Happy Monday, everybody! Yay, it's Monday! Yeah! Oh, I'm so excited. Hope your weekend went good! Hope it went by slowly. Mine, it was over in the blink of an eye. I mean, I guess we did get some things done as far as running errands go and things like that. Only thing I was missing out on was maybe sleeping in a little bit more. I've been having trouble getting to sleep, which is not generally a problem for me. Probably because I haven't been boozing it up. Yeah, I've been being a good boy. But then all of a sudden I got all this energy.

Like, I don't want to go to bed. I want to get back to playing that Resident Evil Requiem. Game's pretty awesome. I did get a few hours in this weekend on that game, which was nice. I also played a few two or three levels of Astral Bot for PS5, which is really, really good as well.

Look forward to playing more of that. But yeah, I tell you, five-day workweek sucks. Now, we need to get to that four-day workweek. Every weekend should be three days.

Two is just not enough. You know, Sunday, you're just like, ah, ah, I got to work tomorrow. But overall, pretty good weekend. Now I just got to figure out something to do for my birthday week. I had a listener call a minute ago and he's like, you know, at our age, it should be your friends figuring it out. They throw you a surprise party and I'm like, oh, I don't know if I do very well with a surprise party. I kind of like to know what's happening.

I don't know. I can be impulsive. That's for sure. But you know, it might be one of those days where I'm like, I just want to sit here and not be bothered by anybody. All of a sudden, all my friends are at my house. My house is a mess right now. So I don't think there will be any unexpected parties popping up at my house.

Plus also, yeah, party. I don't know. I got a bunch of people show up. That social anxiety kicking in.

We've fallen off the wagon immediately. So I'd been looking around to see, all right, maybe maybe I can go out of town this weekend. You know, just go out to somewhere like, I don't know.

I own park or West Yellowstone or pretty much anywhere. What is going on this weekend? Is there some type of major event covering the entire western part of the country? Because the prices for hotels everywhere, no matter where I looked, they're crazy. Like, I thought it was bad when I was trying to find a room for me and Becca in Vegas. Geez. Maybe I should look at Vegas. Screw it.

Go. Might be cheaper than anywhere else. I looked at like West Yellowstone.

I looked at, you know, Jackson's always expensive, but checked out. I mean, everywhere. Just outrageous. Like, who is going out of town this weekend?

Where do you people get your money? Yeah. Gonna need some donations to the Victor Wilt Venmo to be able to do anything.

I think I am going to hide my house. There we go. That's my birthday present. I'll try to save money.

Probably be a good idea, really. Just stay home and don't spend any cash. I got plenty of entertainment at my house.

Okay, anyway, I might look around while I'm trying to find content and see if I can find something fun to do. But yeah, can't even afford to go to the national park that's an hour and a half away because the price is too outrageous. You know, West Yellowstone's not anything fancy. I guess everybody's staying there.

Just staying there to go to Yellowstone. But anyway, that's where that's at. Now I just got to find something to talk about with you.

I don't know. Today's going to be a crazy busy day at work. I'm not looking forward to it. I won't get into it all, but it's just going to be hectic around here. And I have a feeling it's going to be Ask Victor a Million Questions Day from some members of staff. So, yay.

Get ready to be Victor the teacher. Yeah. Well, let's get this party started. I'll find something else to talk about other than my oh woes me struggle of I can't find anything fun to do. It's just too expensive to have fun anymore. You can't do anything. Can't even go. We went to the grocery store yesterday to buy ingredients to make chili.

Okay. Just make a crock pot of chili. It doesn't require that many different ingredients, right? It was like 60 bucks. 60 bucks to make a batch of chili.

Next time, just buy a couple cans. I wonder why people are eating fast fast food. Yeah. People complained about those prices for a while, but boy, it's a lot cheaper now to hit Mickey D's than make myself a sandwich at home.

It's crazy. All right. I am going to find some well, I guess I've already had some caffeine. I probably don't need that or I'll crawl out of my skin.

Gotta like a song that ends that way. What up? It's Victor. Well, morning. Happy Monday. Welcome to the program. Okay. What do we got here? All right, dudes, you trying to find yourself a lady?

I always like to try to give you some good dating advice. I don't know. I was on the phone with JD for like two and a half songs. So didn't have a lot of time to dig something up. And I found a thread called ladies. What's the hottest skill a guy can have? So dudes, take note, learn these skills. I haven't looked at this.

Hopefully these aren't inappropriate skills. Let's see. Oh, that's an actual guy commenting. I was hoping miniature figure painting would be overwhelming in the comments section. You find yourself the right nerdy girl, dudes, and painting miniature figurines.

They'd probably be really down with that. I don't know if it's a hot skill, but it just depends. Nerdy skills to the right nerdy girl, probably pretty hot. All right. So just keep hunting, dudes.

All right. Hotest skill a guy can have cooking. I do recommend that you're able to somewhat cook as a man. You know, you got to be able to whip up something decent. I think it's my turn to cook something decent at home. But like I talked about earlier with that grocery store, geez, what I want to make some, you know, a pasta or something's going to cost me like a hundred bucks. Geez. All right. Let's see what else the internet says are hot skills, dudes should have.

See being talented or skilled at almost anything is hot. Yeah, no. No. There's there got to be some talent or skills out there that are red flags. Huh?

Yeah, they're saying having passion for something and or being really good at it, regardless of what it is. That is hot. No. No, not everything. All right. Not going to get into some of the ideas that popped in my head here.

All right. Some of the highest scores in a research study done about this. We're cooking languages and instruments. That's right. I want to hear some riffs.

Yeah. Keep telling Becca. I got to show you some of my riffs. And then I never get around to busting out the guitar and doing so. Probably need to hit up my bandmates. Haven't talked to them in a while. See if they want to do some jamming.

Let's see here. A sense of humor. That's not a talent. You either got it or you don't. Oh, they say it must be paired with the talent for reading the room. Yeah. Some people don't know how to read the room. Critical thinking.

That's hot in guys and girls. All right. Seriously. A lot more people could work. Is critical thinking a skill? I guess it's a skill you could learn.

It's just probably a little bit difficult to break yourself from. Hey, I get my news for memes. Meh. Let's see here. Being handy.

Yeah. You want to be able to do a few things around the house. Cleaning up after yourself. That's not a skill.

At least as far as I'm concerned. I mean, I guess it takes a little bit of knowledge depending on what you're cleaning. But geez. Emotional intelligence. Yeah. Again. Okay.

None Chuck or both staff. Napoleon Dynamite knows what's up. See, you just got a bunch of guys chiming in now on this one. Here's the nerdy things I do.

I swear they're hot. All right. We've already made it to seven. I like that. Let's get this day over with.

As I was scrolling trying to find some content, a thread popped up. What city have you been to where the vibes were just off? And I figured we were going to get Camden, Camden, New Jersey or St. Louis, Missouri or whatever.

First city on the list, Boise, Idaho. I guess the guy had some interesting interactions with the public at a barbecue restaurant due to his appearance. That's unfortunate. And then they get into the ones that you'd think, okay, yeah, I hear these pop up on lists of places I would never visit again or blah blah blah. You know, Dubai looks kind of like the Vegas of the Middle East, but you always see people say they didn't like their time there. Okay, Miami, Miami, Florida. They said everything either felt a bit sketchy or way too rich for me.

No in between. I do want to visit Florida one of these days, though it sounds like it can be a bit of a miserable place, like very hot and humid. Probably why I guess old people move there or at least used to.

Now you can't really get home insurance in Florida. So they're struggling a bit down there. Baton Rouge. Yeah, Louisiana. I do want to visit New Orleans. They want to go to New Orleans sometimes. But they said Baton Rouge way, way worse off. Isn't that where Acid Bat is from? I think they're from Baton Rouge. And I've read some interviews with the band talking about what it was like to grow up there.

That doesn't sound that great. Barstow, California. Now I think I have been through Barstow, middle of nowhere desert. I'm pretty sure I've been through there, but like didn't stop and hang out.

You know, it's one of those places you just keep going. Dallas, Texas. Now I've only been to the airport, but I hate that airport. Salt Lake's airport is very annoying.

But the Dallas airport, it just sucks. It was like really hot in there. It's super packed and it's massive. It's massive. I had to take like three trains to get to my terminal and again, just overcrowded with people and just so hot in there. I'm like, turn up the AC. This is Texas.

What are you guys doing? I guess must be one of those power grid issues things. The entire state of West Virginia. I'd go visit West Virginia. I don't know, but I like driving around in the backwoods. Butte, Montana. Okay, they say Butte, Montana is the single weirdest place I've ever been. It has a disproportionately small amount of people compared to the size of the town and a giant toxic reservoir and a massive imposing statue of Mary peering over the entire town from the hills. Yeah, the statue's pretty trippy when you see that. It's like, whoa, what's that going on over there? But but crazy enough, with as close as it is to us, I have never hung out in that town as far as I recall.

Here we go. Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City is kind of weird, but it's not like Rexburg weird, you know. Rexburg to me reminds me of the Truman Show. No offense to those of you listening in Rexburg.

It's a nice clean city. It's just fine. But it's different. You know it. You know, it's a little bit different in Rexburg than most other cities.

All right. So something in the air. I could go with vibes being a little bit strange in Rexburg. Salt Lake, though, I don't know. Salt Lake is like the most vanilla big city. I don't know about weird vibes.

It's just a very, I don't know. They do have nice mountain views, but aside from that, Salt Lake, a very boring vanilla big city. Yeah.

At least they got good concerts. Wow. Someone said, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Another town that I've been through a number of times, but I've never stayed there. Not going to drive that far for birthday weekend either. I think I'm pretty much giving up on getting out of town for birthday weekend.

I was looking at prices of anything anywhere remotely interesting. Like I don't care to go to Boyce or Salt Lake. All right. I don't think there's any good shows or anything, but anyhow, try to avoid sketchy places, I guess, or places with weird vibes or, you know what, go to the places with weird vibes.

Weird vibes that doesn't necessarily mean bad. All right. Should we go to Butte this weekend? I've driven through Butte. That does not seem like the place I want to spend a birthday weekend. Well, I just want to let all of you know that according to Life is Idaho.

Idaho residents stunned after a massive meteor streaked across the gem state sky at an estimated 75,000 miles per hour, creating a brilliant fireball visible for hundreds of miles. This didn't happen. All right. I don't know what's up with this page of Life is Idaho. Peaches and I have talked about it during the noon hour of madness in Mayhem, but yeah, back attack me in a post. Like check it out. Here's what happened. And they've got this image showing like a meteor just smashing to the ground in Idaho. Yeah, we would have noticed that.

Okay. That's how the dinosaurs got wiped out, right? I'm pretty sure we would have noticed.

And dang it, I missed the fireball flying across the sky. Anyhow, hope your Monday's going good. Somebody asked online if you became a millionaire overnight, what's the first irresponsible thing you'd buy?

Okay. Now, if you became a millionaire, like say, okay, you've got $1 million in the bank in this day and age. That's, you know, a few, few loads of groceries. You're not going to be able to just quit your job on $1 million. I wouldn't think, you know, you'll get buy, you might be able to get by for a good decade. But after that, you're out of money.

So let's say if you're like, multi-millionaire, like enough that you could retire the most irresponsible thing I'd do is, well, I guess if you're rich enough to retire, it's not really irresponsible to be like, I'm not going to wake up at five in the morning anymore. I'm done. I'm not going to wake up that early.

But if you, if you only had, you know, enough to get by for a few years, that would be probably one of the first irresponsible things I'd want to do is just go, all right, I'm done waking up. Sorry. Someone else can entertain you folks as you make your way to your, your place of business, your place of work on a Monday morning. Don't worry. I don't win it. Ever when I gamble, all right? Ever.

Yeah. If I get a dollar off the scratch ticket, that's like, holy cow, I can't believe it. So I don't buy tickets.

Let's see here. What would other people do to be irresponsible? Buy every seat on a commercial flight. I want to experience what it's like to be delayed and complete privacy.

Okay. I want to just rent a different type of plane. I mean, that's just being rude to other people. Flying on a commercial flight sucks.

If you're going to be irresponsible, at least rent a plane that you can like lay down in the seat and sleep during the flight. Yeah. Let's see here.

Canadian mining stocks. There must be an inside joke I'm missing out on there. I hope it wasn't offensive. They would fund a full length feature documentary about their seventh grade bully, completely factual, no opinion, just their life documented thoroughly screened at their hometown cinema free admission popcorn included. I wonder what happened to some of the people who were jerks to me in school. There's plenty of them. There's a lot of turds out there. But I'm not going to put my effort into making a documentary about them. Let's see.

Courtside ticket. Now people are just getting into fun stuff. Oh, oh, they're getting wild here.

A full tank of premium gas. Whoa. Whoa. Settle down there, buddy.

Getting out of control. A 1970s small car like a Volkswagen Beetle or similar. I would imagine you can find one of those and not be a millionaire. Okay. All right. Old cars, depending on the car, they might have some value, but an old beetle. Are they collectible now?

Probably wouldn't surprise me. All right. Let's see what else we can find. Is the subject of child free establishments actually like controversial or a discussion that is going on online? According to the group, what in the Idaho Falls was that? Well, or somebody who posted in there. Apparently this is a hot topic. And I can't imagine why. Only people I could see who'd be bothered by a child free establishment are people with children that want to bring them there, right? There's lots of other places you could bring them. You know, like say we're talking about a restaurant and they're like, you know what? We're going to make this place child free, which to me sounds fairly good. I have been irritated by children at a number of restaurants over the years. I don't know if it's my face or what, but you know, say I get seated in a booth and behind me, there's a family with a bunch of little kids. Inevitably, one of those little kids is going to stand up on their booth seat, turn around and start like putting their filthy little kid hands on my head. Kids are irritating at restaurants where they start screaming, raising a ruckus and the parents won't take them outside.

Yeah, all four child free establishments because people don't know how to deal with their children. But let's see here. They said, let's see if this is a discussion or an argument in this group. I want to know how the community feels about the ever growing but controversial trend of communities offering child free spaces. 31% of people who have voted in this poll, 402 votes total in this poll, say they're totally in support of entirely child free establishments. Another 31% say establishments with child free hours is appealing to me. Only 1% said they're totally against child free establishments.

Others saying, you know, child free days would be great or child free sections, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, again, just take your kids somewhere else. Businesses should be able to do whatever they want as far as like age limits go. We already have a lot of child free establishments.

They're called bars. But like, let's talk about movie theater rules, okay? People are allowed to bring their children to any movie. You know, if there's a parent there, you can bring your five year old to see, you know, the human centipede.

Don't bring your, these are small children to adult movies either. That's annoying. Let's go to the phones here. Okay, Barry, you were live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this? JD. JD. What's up, man? What's on your mind?

Speaker 2: Oh, man, I was thinking about child, you know, whatever child it was, establishments.

Speaker 1: Yeah, kids not allowed. Yeah, isn't that what a bar is? That that is what a bar is. But let's say there's a restaurant that could allow children if they didn't feel like it. Why not?

Speaker 2: Well, I mean, yeah, those restaurants, if they want to do that, I think they should have a bar.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I suppose so. But you know, kids can be annoying. So I'd get it. That could be a business that would flourish because people like, oh, I'm going to go in there and there will not be screaming kids. But maybe maybe you're not into the bar vibes, you know?

Speaker 2: Well, I know that. But it's just, you know, there's always, you know, restaurants that have more of an adult only section, you know? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Isn't that what a bar is? An adult only place? You know what I mean?

Speaker 1: Well, I'd say we need like adult only of everything. Grocery stores. Anywhere where there might be a screaming child that the parent won't bring them outside, let's get a child free version.

Speaker 2: You're trying to baw humbug about that kind of stuff, aren't you?

Speaker 1: Well, I've had kids, you know, and when they would throw a tantrum in a public place, they're fine.

Speaker 3: They're doing well. They're, you know, well adjusted adults being very responsible. But when they were kids, if they'd start, you know, raising a ruckus and throwing a tantrum in a public place, we're out of there and take them outside. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. That's what you're supposed to do. You're the adult there. You're the parent.

Speaker 1: Yeah. I've had to leave carts full of groceries before and be like, all right, I guess we're out of here.

Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, and that's probably the right thing to do.

Speaker 1: I don't, you know, well, if it's a brief tantrum, okay. But, you know, if there's been a kid that's been in the store screaming for like a few minutes, they're just going to keep going.

Speaker 2: So, well, yeah, they don't know when to shut up. But neither do we, Bob.

Speaker 1: I guess that's true. Anyway, I just thought, you know, a child free establishment, well, that's a bar. There's plenty of those. Well, but see, the bars can also have adults that behave like children. So, what do we do about that? What do we do about that now? Huh? Well, like in the past, I'd say you'd say 86 them, but apparently nowadays that means you want to kill somebody.

Speaker 2: So, okay, is that that start? Within the last few weeks. Yeah, you've worked in the bar scene for many, many years. Have you ever heard 86 mean anything aside from just banning someone from an establishment? Yeah. And usually just banned for, you know, live time or, you know, two weeks or a month or whatever, you know.

Speaker 1: Yeah, you get 86. Go think about your stupidity stupid.

Speaker 4: But anyway, yeah, just carry.

Speaker 1: All right. Thanks, Shady. We'll talk to you soon. Bye. See you, man. Peace. Hey, Bear, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this?

Speaker 2: This is Becca and I'm just going to say that bars are for adult children.

Speaker 1: Yes, like I just pointed out to JD. There's a lot of adults that behave like children at the bar.

Speaker 2: Yeah, they all do. It's just filled with adult children.

Speaker 1: So technically, yeah, but at least you can throw them out. You can't throw somebody's kids out of the restaurant for being kids. I would. Oh, somebody hire Becca at whatever my favorite place to eat is. Okay, bye. See ya. All right. Well, yeah, don't bring your kids to, you know, adult movies.

If they're misbehaving, just take them outside, take them for a walk. I don't know. I guess we're stuck with just the bar for child free. All right, let's dig in and see what's going on in the world of wacky news.

Let's see. What was the brand of chair here? I don't want you to rip your finger off. There are some patio lounge chairs that have been recalled over risk of amputation. That's right. Lose a finger. Peaches, do you have one of these lounge chairs here? These, it's a blue lounge chair. You put it out on your patio, kick back and relax.

Speaker 5: Just like a lot of things in my place, I got rid of my lounge chairs. I sold it. I sold them to my friends.

Speaker 1: I sold it on Facebook Market. That's right. So they can lose their fingers. I had to make a quick book.

Speaker 5: How's Peaches this morning? Oh, you know, tired.

Speaker 1: Oh, you're turning into me, Peaches.

Speaker 5: I'm tired. I'm tired of my stomach hurts. My stomach hurts. I need some caffeine. I do have my mushroom elixir in the other room.

Speaker 1: Oh, whoa. Peaches is going to be having a real interesting show today.

Speaker 5: Now that I'm in the other studio behind you.

Speaker 1: Getting ready for that Brit Floyd show on Sunday at the Mount America Center. Can't wait for that.

Speaker 5: I drink mushroom beverages every day. Man, I'm so wrong about Pink Floyd.

Speaker 1: It's great. Let's see. What else is going on in Freak News? So I guess the world cup's happening in the US. Boring. I agree. Totally agree. But they're making it a little bit more exciting by bringing in. By allowing guns.

Speaker 5: Well, this isn't Dallas. So it would surprise me. Dallas is like Idaho. The one freedom you get guns. That's right. But no, I guess they're bringing in the Boston Dynamics robot dogs to help with security. You're the players.

Speaker 1: You ever seen that episode of Black Mirror with the robot dogs?

Speaker 5: I've never seen any part of Black Mirror.

Speaker 1: Oh, you haven't? No. Well, you know, if you're into something that's going to make you feel real just down and bleak peaches, you go for Black Mirror. You know, nothing like a nice just bleak hour or two of entertainment to make your walk away feeling gross.

Speaker 5: See, I go for the alternative. I just watched Requiem for a Dream or Schindler's List or one of those movies.

Speaker 1: There you go. The Black Mirror's on par, which as far as how you feel when you're done watching some of the episodes, they do have a couple happy episodes, but for the most part, just darkness.

Speaker 5: Well, I mean, the Twilight Zone existed way before that. That's a weird show.

Speaker 1: That's a weird show. Yeah, they got this one episode with these robot dogs and they look like identical to the Boston Dynamics dogs, which made those Boston Dynamics dogs just totally give me the creeps. So if they've got those rolling around with cameras, when are they going to start strapping guns to them?

Speaker 5: What are they going to bring back the Furbies with AI?

Speaker 1: I think Furbies are back.

Speaker 5: I think they're making new Furbies. But with like AI, like AI, oh, wow.

Speaker 1: Okay. Furbies are weird enough as it is.

Speaker 5: First the Furbies, then the Gremlins.

Speaker 1: Hey, Gremlins. That would add some fun to the world if we had Gremlins running around. Sure. Let's see. There was a, we'll call it a chicken fighting ring that was busted in Nevada. I can't believe people are still doing chicken fighting.

Speaker 5: Imagine losing your entire savings because you bet on a chicken and it lost. Yeah.

Speaker 1: That would be for one, embarrassing, two, depressing, three. Like what are you doing? Go into a chicken fight. That's gross.

Speaker 5: You get a KFC, start getting mad. You're like, it reminds me of the top.

Speaker 1: I'm going to show you chicken. I'm going to go eat a whole bucket of extra crispy.

Speaker 5: Like you ever see that, like those stories about people like their friend gets mauled by like a cow? Do they go get like a burger and then go to like the field and just start eating in front of the cows?

Speaker 1: Look at this. This was your brother. This is what I think of you.

Speaker 5: Cow. Get mauled by a bison. You come up with a bison burger.

Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. I didn't know that, uh, every once in a while one of these chicken fighting things will pop up and I'm like, why are people still doing that today? They had to rescue 478 roosters. These guys had, you know, this is a big deal and it was right next to a legendary brothel. So there you go. You got your chicken fighting and this is when I wish I could do an uncensored radio show. There's two things I can say.

Speaker 5: I really want to say the joke that I want to say, but I'm like, I'm going to stop.

Speaker 1: Well, sometimes we got to give up.

Speaker 5: Well, good morning peaches. What's happening? Good morning. Have you ever tried to do 10,000 steps in a day? Um, why would I even ask you that? I already know the answer.

Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean, I've know I've done 10,000 steps in a day. Is that, isn't that what you're supposed to try to do? Yeah.

Speaker 5: So I walked the entire Greenville last night. Okay. Just one big loop. Okay. But instead of going down below the bridge, I went across the bridge and then, you know, I made my way back to the parking lot all the way around. I got like 6,000 steps. I'm like, that's it. How long did it take you? About 30, 45 minutes.

Speaker 1: That's probably about 45 minutes. Yeah. That's probably about right then.

Speaker 5: You know, so I had to do 4,000 more. So I got to keep going.

Speaker 1: That's right. Get out and walk. I got to, I got to this weekend. Um, what did I go to the gym? No, I didn't go to the gym because you know what happened? Um, we had that remote on Saturday. Thank you for helping out with that. You're welcome. Trying to get my brakes on the air. You know, Saturday was a little, little bit of a headache, but we got it done.

Speaker 5: It was extremely, extremely busy at the gun shop. So it was awesome to see all those people coming in and out of that place. Heck yeah. Um, besides that, um, I woke up Saturday morning and my right hip was hurting like I'm an old man. I'm like, what's going on? Why am I always my right hip just killing? Cause you're old. Well, I found out that I got this from my mom that, uh, when she eats anything with sucralose in it, it messes with her nerve endings.

Huh. And her knees are bone on bone. Oh, she's had this issue for a long time. And when she has anything with sucralose, it makes it whole lot worse.

Yeah. I've had this lower back pain since like high school. And so anytime I eat something with sucralose in it, it messes with me. So I woke up like dizzy, sweaty. I'm, I'm for some reason I was hot and it was 45 degrees outside.

Speaker 1: Oh, that, that's bad. Well, I'm glad you didn't call me. Go, can you go do my remote? No, no, I would have done it if you were sick. No.

Speaker 5: So I was kind of limping and all that, but then I took a look at all the protein shakes and the yogurts that Justin from the Hawk was so kind enough to give me every single one of them, sucralose, sucralose, sucralose. And I was having multiple of those like a day with this new diet. Nice. No wonder my back's killing me. My hips killing me like I'm an old fart.

Speaker 1: Well, be careful with that yogurt man. Well, dangerous business.

Speaker 5: Anything with like anything protein related, sucralose. Really? Yeah. I mean, stevia, I feel like that's okay. But for some reason, if I, if that's sucralose is in there, huh, messes me up.

Speaker 1: And just wait, you know, the older you get other things will start messing with you. I can't wait to unlock those pains. Yeah. Nothing like unlocking the adult pains. It's the best.

Speaker 5: Yeah. My friend Matt, like when he turned 30, he was like, yeah, all of a sudden I started feeling weird things because he was, he was drinking quite a lot. He was like, yeah, I got, I stopped doing that.

Speaker 1: That'll make you start feeling some weird things. Right. It's not good for you.

Speaker 5: You're not invincible like you were when you were 21, you know?

Speaker 1: No. Yeah. And then try waiting until you're in your 40s.

Speaker 5: Oh, geez. I was all of a sudden like, I must be getting old or must be getting really sensitive because my friend Zach and his wife just had their like first baby.

And you just started balling? No, I was like, I can't believe like my friends at dad now. And I was kind of teary-eyed. I was kind of teary-eyed. I was like, oh, good for them. Like Zach's been wanting this forever.

Speaker 1: It's so funny thinking of the difference between peaches now, peaches five years ago. Because you used to give me so much grief because I'd be like, oh, my back hurts, my stomach's messed up. And I remember telling you like, just wait, just wait, wait till you get older. You'll start having problems.

Speaker 5: No, I can't have fun yogurt and protein. No, you can't even eat yogurt. That's right. Take that peaches.

Speaker 1: Dave Davis in the house was up full.

Speaker 3: Victor, well, why are you breaking stuff, bro? Now listen, I left you a charge and you failed two weekends in a row.

Speaker 1: I'm blaming it on you. I think you deliberately broke everything before you left because, you know, I'm a seasoned pro. I know, I know workarounds for when we're dealing with technical issues. But when every single technical issue that could possibly happen seems to be happening at once. Oh, but luckily you were... I asked Murphy for you.

Speaker 4: I asked Murphy, you know.

Speaker 2: Oh, well, Murphy and Douglas got together and just ruined your Saturday.

Speaker 1: Well, thankfully you were able to log in and, you know, the last time I tried just simply deleting things from the NAS, it, you had to do it from the back end and clear the recycle bin. So I was like, I don't know how to do that. So I'm like, that ain't gonna work. So I tried every workaround I could think of and thankfully you were able to fix it. Oh, really?

Speaker 4: We made it work. We got through. But I heard the live broadcast of the gun shop went pretty well.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess it was really packed, which is awesome.

Speaker 4: Or hot real summer.

Speaker 1: Somebody warned themselves a sweet barbecue grill from the gun shop.

Speaker 4: You're cooking yourself trying to fix things. Somebody out there winning stuff that cooked stuff for them.

Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Nothing like waking up, not getting to sleep in, and then all of a sudden Peach is calling in a panic. And it was one of those situations where it was like, oh, I actually have to go there. This ain't working trying to fix it from home. So it was all right. Just a weekend went by too fast as always. But yeah, you were showing me some video of yourself cruising in your, what do they call those? This is a K &M. But it's like OHV.

Speaker 4: Yeah, a highway vehicle.

Speaker 1: Something like that. Side by side. Yeah, God, I was looking at that because I'm trying to figure out something to do for my birthday weekend. And, you know, I've been on the wagon. So like beer fest, that's kind of out.

Speaker 4: There's a second chance for them. Class of 97, second chance for them. Oh, there's, yeah.

Speaker 1: That's a non-alcoholic event. There's no booze at that. That's right. I could, well, no, I don't fit in my suit anymore. It's too fast.

Speaker 4: Just go with the buttons that do fit.

Speaker 1: But I like, well, maybe, you know, I could find somewhere to get a hotel out of town in a small town or something. Go somewhere and just relax. And I don't know what's going on this weekend, but I have never seen hotel prices in every single place.

So ridiculous. So like, well, maybe we could go somewhere sort of cheap and then like rent like one of those like a K &M. Jesus, do you know what they charge like in Stanley to rent one of those? Like 500 bucks a day. Yeah. Might as well buy one. You can buy it, make one monthly payment and sell it.

Use it for a month and it's going to cost you a lot less than just renting one. Unless you break it. I guess if you break it, that's why you get the added insurance, right?

Speaker 4: Yeah, don't start it on fire.

Speaker 1: Yeah, don't light it on fire or such a feat on fire. But I was like, I guess I'm just not going anywhere. I couldn't believe it. It rooms, it was crazy. It is something happening in the entire western part of the country this weekend.

Speaker 4: Oh, whenever you go camping, you know, my, my fire suit that I got for Halloween.

Speaker 1: Is that what you wear?

Speaker 4: That's what I wear. So we're camping with the buddies up in Island Park that we were right there where it burned. And when I walked out the first time, they nearly died laughing. You should just start wearing that to work. I'm so hot.

Speaker 1: Well, you'll be proud of me peaches. I played some video games this weekend.

Speaker 5: Good for you. I did yesterday. I was on my computer for at least six hours. Wow. Maybe seven, six, seven. Yeah. Oh, six, seven. Wow. Old and terrible.

Speaker 1: Oh, that's funny because I was watching the episode of South Park from the latest season last night as I was going to bed where they are talking about six, seven. And it's, dude, if you haven't seen the latest season of South Park, it is just amazing.

Speaker 5: I can't wait for the revamp of that musical. I can't. The fact that Trey's playing a significant role and Matt's going to be doing something in it too.

Speaker 1: Dude, the tickets are going to be so outrageous. I wonder how much it would cost to fly to New York, get a hotel and get tickets to that show. All right. It's called Unbroke. It's called Max out the credit cards.

Speaker 5: There you go. I'm guessing at least 25,000. Oh, too much.

Speaker 1: Too much. I mean, I complained about it earlier, but I was trying to find just a hotel like anywhere that might be nice this weekend. No, can't go anywhere. West Yellowstone Island Park. I mean, I took a look at even weird places like Gardner, Montana, which is north of Yellowstone.

Speaker 5: Is Becca wanting to get away?

Speaker 1: What are you trying to do? No, I want to get away. Oh, OK. Yeah. I want to get away. Yeah. Well, I've had some friends hitting me up and they're like, what are you doing for your birthday? And I'm like, going to prom. Maybe. Maybe. If I can get out of it.

Speaker 5: I'm going to get out of it. Maybe get out of it. Go for it. Yeah. I mean, I would really because it's my birthday. Oh, dude, I'd be so mad if all of a sudden they're like, yeah, there's this very important event. Peach is coming August 29th. I'm like, OK, you guys have fun. I'm turning 30. I want to go home.

Speaker 1: Go home for your birthday? For the 30th? Yeah. I don't know. Like I said, I had some friends hitting me up and I'm like, well, I'm on the wagon. I don't want to have a party. Right. You know? So I'm like, maybe I'll just run away. I'll just run away and hide somewhere out of town.

Speaker 5: Go to Dagestan two, three years. Dagestan. There you go.

Speaker 1: But yeah, I think I'm just going to be stuck here being lazy this weekend because I have never seen hotel prices this high, like just everywhere, everywhere. It doesn't matter where you're going.

Speaker 5: Well, your birthday is during the very beginning part of summer. I know, but you mine's towards the very tail end. Mine's the first day of school for a lot of people. I was the first day of school for a lot of people.

Speaker 1: Yeah. Maybe I'll look at the following weekend. I don't know because it's stupid. I don't know how people are afforded to do anything right now.

Speaker 5: Let's not try to figure out too. There's a lot of people my age that are buying houses and all of that. One person just bought one in Southern California. I'm like, what did you do?

Speaker 1: Did they have rich parents?

Speaker 5: No, that's that they were middle of the road.

Speaker 1: Because in California, the housing is worse than here.

Speaker 5: It's a two story house. It's in Rossmore. Like, did you go to the bank and say, put them up?

Speaker 1: Maybe they got a side biz, you know? Yeah, they are a couple now. An untaxed side biz. Oh, maybe she has rich parents.

Speaker 5: No, maybe she's doing something. Only fans. Yeah.

Speaker 2: You can make a lot of money.

Speaker 5: I just don't know if we're allowed to say that again. I'm glad you took the word right out of my mouth.

Speaker 1: So, yeah, maybe I will just slap on my suit jacket that I can't button up because I'm too fat and go to the prom.

Speaker 5: I know. I got to go to like J.C. Penney and get like the big and tall dress shirt. The one that I was giving previously is like a Dufen-Schmerz lab coat. You should see this thing. It goes down to my knees. My knees.

Speaker 1: Wow. So that'd be a full on trench coat if I were it.

Speaker 5: It's like Solomon Grundy. Like what's going on here?

Speaker 1: Well, I saw a listener, JD, complaining on Facebook that he can't find any employees that want a job. Well, JD, you should go post your job listing at the newly redesigned higher east Idaho.com.

Yeah. Are you an employer looking for employees? Post your listings there. These are all local. You can deal direct with people in our community. Avoid all the spam. And if you're looking for a job, same thing.

Yeah. You're not dealing with competing with a bunch of chat GPT filing applicants and spam and employers are just having AI review. No, no, deal local higher east Idaho.com. For example, this week, if you're looking for a job, we've got our job of the week, Snake River physical therapy, looking for a physical therapist or physical therapist assistant.

Yeah. Could you use a job in that field? You got your physical therapy license. Put it to use. Make some money.

Heck yeah. Go and check it out at higher east Idaho.com to get the full scoop on that job and many more. Again, it's fully redesigned and revamped and waiting for you to go check it out.

Higher East Idaho.com. Man, today is hectic. Hectic and crazy.

Hope it's not going that way for you. All right. What can I talk about since I was just on the phone for the last 10 minutes or so? All right. Lousy neighbors. Sure.

All right. This woman ended up going to jail after a 15 year feud with her neighbors. That's a little long. You know, if you're dealing with a bad neighbor.

I don't know if I'd wait 15 years to really deal with this. So apparently this woman, I'm looking at a picture over here. She looks like a bad neighbor. She looks like a cranky old lady. She cut a hole in the hedge to spy on her neighbors. Loudly would clatter her garbage bins around. They call them a garbage bin to wake them up early in the morning and through dead animals into their garden.

Yeah. In the picturesque village of Irkfonte Wiltshire. Um, yeah, I guess back in 2021, she got a restraining order placed against her after damaging some of their flowers. Uh, so then she decided, well, the hedge is both of ours.

So she, you know, cut a hole in it and. Oh, it seemed kind of weird to be chucking dead animals over the fence into their garden. They were dead moles. It wasn't like, you know, the neighborhood pets or anything like that, thankfully. But, um, yeah, she apparently breached the, um, the order to, uh, stay away from people.

I can't make it go. That was such an idiot. She breached the restraining order. So they, uh, you know, said they were going to put her in jail, but they're like, all right, we'll give you one more chance.

And then she just couldn't stop. Couldn't stop being a terrible, terrible neighbor. I'm really glad I've got good neighbors. Yeah, they're very chill.

It's very nice and quiet in my cul-de-sac. For the most part, my neighbor did rip up his backyard. He must be redoing the whole entire thing because he was out there with, you know, some type of heavy machinery, just tearing things up.

But all I had to really put up with was a beep, beep, beep when he was backing up some, you know, I could handle that. He didn't, you know, chuck whatever he dug up in the yard over the fence into my yard and, um, yeah, grateful for that. Anyhow, um, I hope your neighbors are good.

And if they aren't, call the cops on them. I guess some researchers sat down and spent a lot of time just pestering and hammering away at chatGPT. To get it to give its opinion on a variety of things about places around the world, such as what place has the smartest people, what place has the smelliest people.

So I pulled this up at inequalities.ai. And I think what they're trying to do is figure out, you know, how to make chatGPT work better. So it's not basing its opinion simply on what people are saying online, you know, using the opinions of society and Facebook posts and things like that to give answers to people who ask it questions.

But chatGPT, once they got it to finally start spilling out data, it had some interesting responses. Um, let's go for the smartest, the smartest places in the U.S. All right, go ahead and update the map here. All right, Idaho, we're kind of in the, uh, they've got five levels here. You know, it goes from a blue to a red scale. Blue is the smarter states. Red are the dumbest states. Idaho, we're not red, but we're orange.

It goes like blue, green, yellow, orange, red. So we're orange. We're kind of dumb. Little bit dumb, but we're not as dumb as our friends next door in Wyoming or to the south in Nevada. Those are the dumbest states in the West, according to chatGPT. However, we're one of the dumber ones. Apparently Montana, a little bit smarter than us.

And then Utah, Oregon, Washington, California, uh, they're on the higher, higher end of the smart level. Sorry, this is just chatGPT's opinion, not me. Okay.

Don't you blame me for this. Let's see what it says about smelly people. All right. So we're not very smelly though.

Okay. When we're talking about smelly people, as far as the West goes, California, very smelly. They're red, but so is also, uh, Texas and Louisiana. Louisiana, the smelliest place in the U.S. in case you were curious. Florida, very smelly as well. Uh, but the Pacific Northwest outside of Oregon, Oregon's kind of, uh, medium level smelly. Uh, the rest of the West pretty good, but I guess Idaho one step below Montana, Utah, and Wyoming on the smelliness factor. Now, I mean, I don't think it's that smelly here.

All right. And Nevada, you would think it would be smellier. It doesn't show up, but I guess a lot of Nevada is just empty desert, nothingness. So it's not going to be very smelly.

If you were just basing it on Vegas smelly. All right. What other options? They asked chatGPT a lot of things here. Like, okay, where are people more annoying? Let's find that out. Hey, people around here, Idaho.

We're, we're like the bottom level here. Less annoying. Yeah. You think people around here are annoying?

ChatGPT disagrees with you. You want to find some annoying people? Got to go to, uh, California, Texas.

I mean, they're even, they're even saying Utah, you know, a little more annoying than us and people from Washington or medium level annoying, but we're looking pretty good on the annoying front. All right. Ignorant. Where are the ignorant people at? Idaho, uh, the most ignorant state in the West, according to chatGPT. And it's funny, all the negative factors on this, they pretty much blanket the entire southern part of the country. You've got your, you know, Louisiana, Georgia, et cetera.

Uh, all those places, Kentucky, Tennessee, full of ignorant, uh, dumb people. So we ain't got it too bad here. Let's see. What are some other better musicians? I bet like California is like really high up there. Idaho, bottom of the barrel.

Now how dare they? I know some really good musicians around here, but yeah, you would generally think of places like New York and LA when it comes to, uh, you know, the best musicians in the world. I mean, Tennessee even with a, with a Nashville being there. And again, this is chatGPT's opinion, not mine. All right, let's go to the phones here. Okay, Barry, you are live on the show.

Keep that in mind. Who's this? This is Jay. Crazy Jay.

What's up, dude? Hey, what does it say about Idaho and being narrow minded? Well, um, ignorant, we were pretty, uh, pretty high up on the scale, but we're not annoying. So yeah, I'd say ignorant covers that in Jay. So we're not the worst, but we're the worst in the West.

Speaker 2: I can believe that.

Speaker 1: So there you go, Jay.

Speaker 2: All right. Just watch it right now.

Speaker 1: All right, man. Will you have a, you have a good one. You do. Peace. This is kind of fun. You know, looking up chatGPT's opinion on, uh, let's see, ugly people. Idaho, we're not the ugliest. Again, the ugliest people down south, but we are the ugliest in the West. You won't tell me we're uglier than people from Nevada. Come on. Very pretty people on the coast according to chatGPT.

What other things does it have in here? Uh, let's see here. Unfriendly.

Whoa. We're, I thought we'd show up as being pretty friendly, but apparently us in Montana, chatGPT thinks we are extremely unfriendly. We're, we're like the worst. I mean, we're even worse in Texas according to chatGPT. I think people are pretty friendly around here. Where are the beautiful people at?

Oh yeah. All the coastal places. Idaho.

ChatGPT really thinks we're ugly. This is pretty fun. Let's see here. There's so many options. Are there any others that would be fun? We've done ugly, lazy, smelly. Um, you know, I'm not going to get into the controversial or more controversial things here. We've done unfriendly. Okay, let's talk about lazy. Let's, uh, let's look at lazy for the US. We're only medium level lazy. Lazy as places. You guessed it. Southern US. Kind of bummed I missed knocked loose at Sick New World because we were taking a nap, but that's fine. Catch them on another go around. What's up everybody?

It's Victor Wilt. Getting ready to get out of here and go to the Monday meeting. Boo. Boo to Monday meeting.

Anyway, at least we're making it through the day at a reasonable pace and, uh, it's Monday, but I can't wait for the weekend. I want to watch some movies. I want to play some video games. There are some great looking horror movies out in the theaters and I got to say we are in like the best age for horror ever, ever. Right now, over the weekend at the box office, the number two movies, both horror movies and both of them were directed by YouTubers. And these movies cost like nothing to make. Well, I mean, nothing by the Hollywood standards. And they're just making bank obsession and back rooms.

Back rooms. Number one movie over the weekend, the biggest a 24 opening weekend of all time, which is kind of crazy. And then obsession with big gains.

I'm still hanging in there at number two. Obsession is supposed to be really, really good. And I've heard great things about back rooms as well. Love a 24 movies. So got to check both of those out and boy, I mean, we had horror movies went in Academy Awards. We got horror dominating in theaters. This is great.

This is great. And they're not like rehashed movies. Yeah, they're not remakes or anything like that. They've got, you know, a fresh take on the genre. So much good horror that's came out in the last few years as a horror fan.

Again, it's just the best time to be to be living in. Now I just need to get back to reading every evening. I think I need to buy one of those little lights that hooks to a book. I read on my Kindle for like years and years, but I don't know where I put it.

And I also don't want to go buy digital copies of all the books that I have sitting around the house that I want to read. But I did start reading this book called The Troop and it's, I'm barely into it, but it's really good so far. It's by an author named Nick Cutter. And I've read online that one, it's supposed to be an amazing horror novel, but two that it's also extremely disgusting. So I don't know if it's for everybody, but if I can make my way through it, I'll give you my full review because reading is good and there are tons of great new horror authors out there.

Newer, I should say. And I need to dig in and get into them. So anyway, I'm going to get out of here. I'm going to go to the Monday meeting.

Yay. Peach's and I will be back at noon for the noon hour of Madness Man. You have yourself a wonderful rest of your morning and we'll chat soon.

All right, peace out. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show. This program is a production of Riverbend Media Group. To contact the show or for more information, hit us up at riverbendmediagroup.com.
