Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying mathematical concepts that power modern machine learning, to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives–even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

#0170 - From Burley Horror Stories to Putin’s Meat Grinders - 03/07/2025 40:01

1 day тому40:01

40:01

0:00 - Talking about the upcoming Poppy show, the new Lady Gaga album, and new rock/metal album releases for today 4:52 - Talking about murder, Burley, Idaho and the interview with Lori Vallow on Dateline tonight 10:05 - The time change resulted in me having to block someone on Facebook 14:08 - There may not be a Last Of Us part 3, talking about the new season of TLOU on HBO 18:34 - Forget cars driving on a lake, let's talk about people ice fishing on the Snake River 27:19 - Sleep Token unleashes mysterious sheet music and fans perform it, nasal tanning spray is a bad idea, Putin sends meat grinders to the families of dead soldiers, NYPD detective under fire for dancing in a music video 35:05 - Make money by selling Cheetos Viktor kicks off the show with an existential crisis about aging, sleep deprivation, and the uncontrollable urge to complain about daylight saving time. This leads to a minor social media war, culminating in a deeply satisfying "blockaroo" against an overly aggressive internet troll. Meanwhile, he’s hyped about seeing Poppy live, interviewing her (potential trainwreck pending), and maybe even getting some stage time—though he worries that exactly two KBear listeners will be there to cheer for him. Somehow, the show takes a wild turn into true crime as Viktor reminisces about living in Burley, a town that could double as a Stephen King novel. He casually recalls staying in a motel where the owner was later found stuffed under the floorboards, then seamlessly pivots to discussing the creepiest person ever to grace East Idaho—Lori Vallow—who's set to appear on Dateline, much to everyone's discomfort. Then, there's an extended rant about people ice fishing on dangerously thin river ice, which results in a parade of callers defending their risky hobby. One guy shares a story about his friend falling through the ice—chair and all—yet still clutching his fish like some kind of frosty warrior. Meanwhile, Viktor fights off an anxiety attack just imagining himself anywhere near freezing water. Elsewhere, he marvels at the insanity of internet capitalism after discovering that someone paid $88,000 for a Cheeto that resembles Charizard. This sparks a plan to inspect every snack for resale potential because, apparently, people have way too much money. The conversation then veers into absurdity as he and Peaches contemplate becoming Pokémon card scalpers or signing random objects to increase their value (spoiler: it won’t). The show wraps with a dose of "freak news," including Vladimir Putin sending actual meat grinders to the families of fallen soldiers—because subtlety is dead—and a New York detective getting heat for pole dancing in a music video, which Viktor finds outrageously fake and hilarious. All in all, just another normal day on The Viktor Wilt Show.

Traffic School - 03/07/2025 31:31

1 day тому31:31

31:31

Today's show kicks off with the hosts struggling with the cruel reality of aging—apparently, ranting about something and forgetting it the next day is the new normal. But fear not, Crazy Carl saves the day, calling in to talk about hot rods, free cars, and his inability to spell. He tries to give away his beefed-up 72 Pinto, but somehow, nobody’s biting on the deal of a lifetime. Meanwhile, the age-old debate about Daylight Saving Time ignites social media rage, leading to a dramatic blocking incident. Then comes a string of bizarre yet wonderful calls: a guy named Damien needs legal advice on fireworks (spoiler alert: "safe and sane" is the least fun phrase ever), a CDL driver stumps the lieutenant with a tricky medical card question, and another caller complains about drivers using their turn signals incorrectly—because, you know, that’s the biggest problem on the road. Things really heat up when a trucker calls in to school everyone on semi-truck etiquette, because apparently, some drivers think they can outmaneuver a 12,000-pound truck like it’s a go-kart. The chaos climaxes with a call about a viral video of a guy identifying as a cat during a police stop, which the lieutenant immediately labels as fake news—because even he knows no cop is that witty. Oh, and just when you thought things couldn’t get any weirder, there’s a brief but passionate discussion about puking on airplanes, which naturally leads to a debate on suction power in airplane toilets. Classic. The episode wraps up with a recruitment pitch for the Idaho State Police, a PSA about watching out for motorcycles, and a warning that the weather is warming up—which means one thing: shirtless Viktor in a cowboy hat is coming. And with that terrifying mental image, the show comes to a close.

#0169 - Lori Vallow Speaks, Bigfoot Cries, and Giant Cheeseburgers of Doom - 03/06/2025 53:32

2 дні тому53:32

53:32

0:00 - Dateline to air interview with Lori Vallow Daybell tomorrow night. 5:46 - Volbeat is back with new music today and a new album dropping in June 11:27 - Many people in Idaho Falls want to do away with roundabouts 14:52 - Politicians should have to pass a civics test and submit to random drug screening 17:48 - Hungover man breaks child's bagpipes, DIGG.com set to return, man hospitalized after eating 7 pound cheeseburger 23:32 - Talking with Peaches about daylight saving time, giving away a Nintendo Switch 30:47 - The history of daylight saving time according to Wikipedia 34:34 - Don't cover people in superglue while they sleep 37:55 - Loch Ness is hiring Nessie hunters 44:43 - Dentist arrested after making 100+ violent threats to 40 different people 46:26 - Audacy radio group laying off hundreds of people today 51:33 - Study showing how many people pee in the shower 56:30 - New story to buy and sell items for kids open in Idaho Falls Buckle up, because this radio show was a chaotic fever dream wrapped in a tornado of absurdity and sprinkled with the existential dread of daylight saving time. We kicked things off with the host gleefully avoiding an impromptu singalong, before dive-bombing into the horrifying, brain-melting madness of the Lori Vallow Daybell case, where jailhouse interviews and doomsday prophecies collided like a train full of bad decisions. Then, we took a detour into the metal abyss, where Volbeat apparently sold their souls to the devil (judging by their new album titles), and the host swore to blast their new song into the stratosphere every hour. But wait—corporate radio is imploding again! Layoffs, mass exits (totally voluntary wink ), and radio execs making baffling decisions faster than a roundabout-confused Idaho Falls driver. Speaking of which, apparently, there’s a WAR over whether to obliterate a roundabout near Costco because people refuse to learn how to use them. Look left. Go. IT’S NOT HARD. Oh, but things get wilder . The host dreams of a world where politicians have to pass civics tests and drug screenings because, you know, making laws while high on meth seems like a bad plan. Then, in the most Florida story ever, an enraged man woke from his drunken slumber, stormed outside, and yeeted a 10-year-old's bagpipes to the ground. Meanwhile, Digg.com is trying to make a comeback from the digital graveyard like a zombie that nobody asked for. Suddenly—BOOM—seven-pound cheeseburgers are destroying people’s intestines, some poor guy super-glued his hand to his own belly button, and Loch Ness is hiring full-time hunters . But not just any hunters—chair-sitting, screen-staring, sonar-watching, "is that a fish or a prehistoric creature?" hunters. And, in the biggest crime against humanity, daylight saving time is BACK, and the government refuses to do anything about it because, well, government . Finally, we closed out with some horrifying radio industry news, a sprinkle of urine statistics (because why not?), and the most heated discussion about whether peeing in the shower is a millennial thing . The answer? Yes. Science says so.

#0168 - Breaking News: I May or May Not Be a Loser - 03/05/2025 55:32

3 дні тому55:32

55:32

0:00 - Ghost dropped their new single and music video this morning, "Satanized"! Album to be released next month. 4:57 - Moments that made you say "WE MUST LEAVE NOW." 10:53 - Locals in the Life In Idaho Falls group indicate that if you aren't at a job at 4PM you're a loser 14:41 - Uploaded a reaction video to the new Ghost song, discussing our YouTube channel 19:59 - Discussing new GTA 6 rumors 24:56 - Florida wants to build a road from radioactive waste, Luigi Mangione made adult films, the end of days is coming in 2027 29:34 - Recapping my night last evening, talking new Ghost, 34:34 - The worst band names of all time 42:55 - More Ghost talk with Peaches 52:00 - Talking AI and movies The show kicked off with Viktor Wilt in prime form—half awake, fully caffeinated, and barely holding it together after a night of trivia, feline warfare, and a late-night Ghost video drop. Apparently, his attempt at being social led to his cat Lucy launching a full-scale nocturnal assault, followed by Koopa the cat deciding 10 PM was the perfect time to play door games. To make things worse, just as Viktor was about to drift into the sweet embrace of sleep, his kids detonated a "NEW PAPA ALERT" bomb, forcing him to stumble zombie-like to his TV and bask in the eerie glow of Ghost’s latest single, "Satanized." Sleep? Overrated. With a solid zero hours of REM, Viktor powered through the show, veering between discussing terrifying "We need to leave NOW" moments from Reddit, existential debates about the worst band names ever, and the latest, possibly apocalyptic, rumors about GTA 6. Highlights included speculation that the game might cost $100—because apparently, inflation doesn’t just apply to groceries—and the possibility that Florida may soon be home to radioactive roadways. Because, you know, Florida doesn’t have enough chaos already. Peaches joined in to provide much-needed comic relief, supporting Viktor’s hot takes and occasionally making him question his life choices. Topics ranged from Sleep Token’s cryptic sheet music teasers to Kiss being the “Boomer Juggalos” (a truly cursed revelation). Oh, and there was an impassioned PSA about why getting off work at 4 PM does not, in fact, make you a bum, despite what Facebook’s intellectual elite might claim. Between song breaks, Viktor experimented with Ghost’s AI-powered "Satanizer," which allowed him to insert his own face into their latest music video—because nothing screams good marketing like putting your fans directly in the spooky action. Naturally, he vowed to return for a second round as a nun. The show wrapped up with a heated "Pick 3 Movies from 1993 or Erase the Rest from Existence" debate, where Viktor struggled to choose between Jurassic Park , Dazed and Confused , and Tombstone , while also lamenting the subversive "agenda" of Mrs. Doubtfire . Meanwhile, Peaches warned him not to fall out of his chair mid-rant (which nearly happened).

#0167 - Viktor Vs. Bluey: The No-Cry Challenge - 03/04/2025 46:31

4 дні тому46:31

46:31

(0:00) - Ghost set to unveil new music at midnight tonight (3:01) - Parkway Drive to play a show with an orchestra and tickets are very expensive (5:10) - Government warns Texans to not have measles parties (7:50) - UK schools removing mirrors to get students out of the bathroom, woman pulls a horse tail, woman stung by scorpion at Boston airport (12:11) - Utah man scores a cornhole driven scholarship (14:50) - The Bluey Challenge from Classy 97 (25:08) - Don't dump goldfish into natural waters (26:31) - Nintendo Switch Bundle giveaway (28:45) - Idaho's Best voting now open! My show and KBear up for awards! (38:46) - Hundreds of thousands of morons of Facebook (41:18) - People dying from dysentery in Oregon On today’s edition of The Viktor Wilt Show, Viktor took listeners on a wild ride through the most bizarre, ridiculous, and downright questionable happenings of the day. First up—Ghost fans, rejoice! A billboard in Vegas started spewing purple smoke like some kind of haunted slot machine, signaling the arrival of new music and possibly a brand-new Papa Emeritus. Viktor is sworn to secrecy on this one. Midnight, folks. Get ready. Meanwhile, Parkway Drive decided that mosh pits just aren’t classy enough, so they’re playing a black-tie event at the Sydney Opera House. Hope you’ve got a tux lying around because tickets will cost you your rent money. But hey, at least you’ll get to witness a metal band politely shredding alongside an orchestra. Then, in what might be the worst idea since Tide Pods, Texas parents apparently needed an official warning not to host measles parties. Yes, in the year 2025, we have to remind people that contagious diseases are not collectible trading cards. Across the pond, UK schools have removed bathroom mirrors because obviously , the real reason kids take so long in the restroom is their deep fascination with their own reflection—definitely not their phones. In even dumber news, a woman got arrested for yanking a horse’s tail, launching a child into the San Francisco Bay like a medieval catapult. Justice would’ve been served if the horse had sent her flying instead, but alas, life isn’t always fair. Speaking of bad luck, a woman at Logan Airport in Boston got stung by a scorpion while picking up her luggage. Either she packed a venomous souvenir, or someone’s suitcase came with a free “Welcome to the Outback” gift. In the realm of competitive “sports,” an Ogden teen just scored a college scholarship for cornhole. Yes, the backyard barbecue game. Time to reevaluate those student loan debts, folks—maybe you should’ve trained in beanbag tossing instead of calculus. Viktor then took on the Bluey Challenge, watching an episode of the beloved kids’ show to prove he was too tough to cry. The verdict? Cute, nostalgic, but no tears—though he did get suspiciously emotional about water diversion projects. Then came an urgent PSA: STOP DUMPING YOUR GOLDFISH INTO LAKES. These aquatic menaces are turning waterways into murky, disease-ridden nightmares. If you want a giant goldfish, get a giant tank—don’t turn Lake Erie into a Finding Nemo reboot. In the “humans disappoint Viktor” segment, he ranted about people mindlessly sharing fake news, specifically a viral lie about Chris Stapleton protesting Beyoncé’s Grammy win. Fun fact: he didn’t. But why Google when you can just believe a meme? And just when you thought things couldn’t get worse—dysentery is making a comeback in Oregon. Yes, the Oregon Trail joke has become reality, and you can now die of dysentery. Society might officially be circling the drain. Finally, after dodging depressing headlines, Viktor shifted gears to something actually enjoyable—burgers. Specifically, Burley Burger in Idaho Falls, where you can eat a cheeseburger topped with a hot dog, which is either brilliant or an affront to nature. Oh, and in case you care about radio awards, The Viktor Wilt Show is up for Idaho’s Best—though the competition includes misplaced nominees, podcasts that aren’t radio shows, and someone named Vic Frederick, who sounds like they should be a Victorian ghost hunter. And that’s a wrap for today’s show. Tune in next time for more chaos, rants, and maybe a horse-kicking update.

#0166 - The Worst Radio Promo Ever Meets Idaho's Worst Couple Ever - 03/03/2025 53:32

0:00 - How do skinny people keep from overeating? 4:37 - The band Ghost is teasing something, Ghost fans can be weirdos 9:10 - Giving away a Nintendo Switch Bundle with Brent Gordon Law 11:06 - I had to delete a facebook post because people are insane 15:06 - Adult problems that no one prepared you for 21:34 - Academy Award winners for 2025 25:44 - Nightmarish amusement park in the UK looks awesome, drunk man narrowly escapes getting killed by train while facetiming girlfriend 30:55 - The Enchanted Forest in Salem, Oregon is creepy awesome and possibly haunted 35:41 - Canadian doctors attempting to cure a man's blindness by implanting a tooth in his eye 38:10 - What country artist would you want to sit next to on an airplane? 40:00 - Arizona gold courses pondering BYOB 43:30 - Worst radio promotion ever has ties to the Daybells 49:06 - Missing cat found stuck in couch after 3 weeks and is fine! Viktor kicked off Monday morning in full-on survival mode, trying to power through the day “quick style” while also contemplating the universal struggle of winter weight gain. He took a deep dive into a thread about how thin people manage to eat like birds and not overindulge, which only led to extreme jealousy and the conclusion that some people’s stomachs just work on a different operating system. Then came an epic rant about the band Ghost and how some fans refuse to accept that, yes, the members are indeed real people and not supernatural beings. Viktor, wielding his insider knowledge like a Jedi, teased that he knows things but won’t spill because, unlike some blabbermouths in online forums, he actually respects industry secrets. On the music front, Viktor lamented the sad state of local concerts, where rock shows are outnumbered 10 to 1 by country gigs. Meanwhile, he flexed his gaming skills, knocking out the most infuriating Red Dead Redemption 2 challenges like an outlaw legend. Speaking of gaming, he also reminded everyone that his station is giving away a Nintendo Switch—unlike the infamous "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" contest, which ended in tragedy and, bizarrely, was linked to the Daybell family. Because, of course, it was. Viktor’s social media adventure took a dark turn when an opinionated post turned into an online brawl, forcing him to nuke it from existence before the Facebook police came knocking. This led to a philosophical moment about how adult life is constant exhaustion, surprise car registration fees, and the shocking realization that high school jerks never change. Things took a weird turn with an amusement park in the UK featuring horrifying off-brand statues of beloved characters, making it the perfect destination for parents looking to traumatize their kids. Meanwhile, a drunk guy in Indiana nearly got obliterated by a train because he was too busy staring at his girlfriend’s, uh, “FaceTime assets.” Then came the wildest medical breakthrough of the day: tooth-in-eye surgery. Because, obviously, when you’re blind, the most logical solution is to have a tooth implanted in your eye socket. If this sounds like the plot of a sci-fi horror movie, you’re not alone. Finally, Viktor wrapped up with a feel-good story about a missing cat that survived three weeks inside a hide-a-bed couch during a cross-country move. The cat somehow endured over 1,000 miles of travel, defying logic and proving once again that cats are practically immortal.

0:00 - Discussing my addiction to Red Dead Redemption 2, warning about other addictive games 5:23 - College degrees that might be a waste of time 10:54 - 100% AI generated streamer debate on Twitter 15:58 - Allergies suck and robots attacking people 18:52 - All natural Botox, Instagram reels turns into never-ending gore and violence, thieves win lotto with stolen credit card 23:26 - What made me a proud Dad today 26:00 - Something in the air is brutalizing everyone in the studio 29:54 - Babbling with Peaches about places with nice weather, Texas sounds brutal Viktor Wilt kicks off the Friday show with a deep, philosophical reflection on the weekend ahead—by which he means preparing to sink countless hours into Red Dead Redemption again. He reminisces about his ongoing struggle with the gambler challenge, proving once and for all that video game frustration knows no bounds. He then goes down the rabbit hole of the most addictive games ever, dodging the World of Warcraft black hole like his life depends on it. Then, in a twist nobody saw coming, he dives into the “most useless college degrees” discussion, which quickly turns into a roast session of the education system. Spoiler: If you have a PhD in cartography, you might be overqualified for your job at Walmart. Meanwhile, AI is creeping in, with an eerily realistic AI streamer making waves online. Viktor considers his own job security and wonders if AI radio hosts will soon replace humans (but hey, can a robot sneeze uncontrollably on-air for an hour? Didn’t think so). Speaking of disasters, allergies ambush Viktor like an unexpected plot twist, leading to a segment filled with sneezes, nose-blowing, and regret over forgetting his meds. But he powers through, covering crucial breaking news, like a music festival robot that went full Skynet on the crowd and a bizarre beauty trend involving smearing flaxseeds and banana peels on your face (for science, obviously). Things really take a turn when Instagram accidentally serves up a gore-filled horror show to its users, giving Peaches a mild existential crisis. Meanwhile, some French guy who had his credit card stolen by thieves actually offers to share the stolen-lottery-ticket jackpot with them—proving that either French people are next-level nice, or this guy just really loves ironic plot twists. Viktor’s morning hits a high note when his daughter calls with epic news: she finally beat Red Dead Redemption. Proud dad moment unlocked. He spends ten minutes hyping her up for part two, which is basically the father-daughter bonding moment we all aspire to. Finally, the show wraps up with Viktor and Peaches diving into topics like overpriced hoodies, tourism woes, and the horror of Texas humidity, all while subtly roasting Jade for possibly being old enough to have gone to school with Abraham Lincoln. They throw in a quick PSA about “Economic Blackout Day” (a perfect excuse to not spend money they didn’t have anyway) before signing off with a reminder to enter for Dropkick Murphys and Bad Religion tickets—because free punk rock is always a good idea.

Traffic School - 02/28/2025 38:34

8 днів тому38:34

38:34

This episode of Traffic School was an absolute fever dream of traffic chaos, police callouts, and allergy-induced suffering. Lieutenant Crain started off by enforcing some mysterious in-studio rules, proving that not even radio hosts are safe from The Law . Things escalated quickly when a caller, Dusty, reported nearly being taken out by a rogue Pocatello cop who apparently thought merging onto the interstate was everyone else's job but his own. This opened the floodgates for an entire roast session on various Idaho police departments, with multiple callers sharing their "I was done dirty by the cops" stories—because nothing says community bonding like shared law enforcement trauma. Meanwhile, the great Ammon Traffic Pattern Conspiracy unfolded, as Ethan questioned why some people were breaking the rules under a cop’s watchful eye. The answer? Either they were off to a more important call, or maybe they just didn’t feel like dealing with it—justice is unpredictable like that. Things took a wild turn when Carl, the unofficial king of classic cars , called in to flex his knowledge of vintage vehicles and how to avoid cop attention (spoiler: don’t drive a bright red muscle car). We also learned that in Idaho, you can ride a motorcycle at 80 mph without a helmet, but lane-splitting like a Californian daredevil is strictly illegal—because logic . The show reached peak absurdity when Lieutenant Crain admitted to once pulling over a kid and telling him, "This ain’t Indianapolis, and you sure aren’t Richard Petty," only to be sent to the Chief’s office for being too sassy . Meanwhile, Viktor nearly perished from an allergic reaction to something in the studio, leading to wild speculation that management was low-key trying to assassinate him. With allergy meds kicking in and chaos reigning supreme, the episode wrapped up with a discussion on whether a passed-out drunk adult counts as a "supervising driver" for a teenager with a learner’s permit (the answer: no, you monsters ). All in all, this was another legendary Traffic School episode filled with questionable legal advice, high-speed shenanigans, and more reasons to never drive through Pocatello if you value your sanity .

0:00 - Things you see people do that you'll never do 4:52 - Pink Floyd - Live At Pompeii to be re-released in 4K and remixed by Steven Wilson 9:42 - People copying Elon Musk's "gesture" getting fired left and right 11:59 - Minneapolis radio station promotions confusing fans 15:54 - Video games that prove that graphics aren't everything 21:36 - Florida woman vandalizes wrong vehicle, island for sale, man tries to hide cocaine under toupee 26:00 - What's in Peaches' Trader Joe's bag?

He started by diving into things people refuse to do—like littering, cheating, and, of course, cave diving (because The Descent scarred him for life). After a few minutes of roasting people who leave shopping carts stranded and the unsanitary horrors of venue bathrooms, he spiraled into a full-fledged freakout over Pink Floyd’s Live at Pompeii getting a 4K IMAX release—something he seemingly manifested through the sheer power of radio. Then, chaos unfolded. A CEO got fired for copying Elon Musk’s questionable gestures, Minneapolis radio station listeners got hit up via snail mail, and Peaches, Viktor’s sidekick, returned from a pilgrimage to Boise bearing gifts from Trader Joe’s, including ketchup, chocolate-covered bananas, and enough peanut butter cups to put someone in a sugar coma. Peaches also recounted his Disturbed concert experience, which included David Draiman bleeding on stage, a dude in the pit who was 6'11", and the realization that every other radio station has entire teams of people while KBear runs on sheer willpower. Viktor then launched into a segment on why some ancient video games are still masterpieces, despite looking like pixelated nightmares. A listener called in to vouch for Skyrim as a classic, while Viktor recoiled at the thought of Lemmings because he’s “too dumb for that game.” The stupidity of humanity continued with a Florida woman vandalizing the wrong car, a Colombian man attempting to smuggle cocaine under a toupee (spoiler: airport scanners exist), and Tokyo outpacing America by introducing a four-day workweek. Viktor called his boss, Jade, to plead for the same, only to be laughed off the phone. Then came the true peak of radio excellence: a five-minute discussion about TOAST. After a rival DJ claimed to be "a toast guy," Viktor and Peaches staked their claim on the title, taking listener calls on what people put on their toast (from jelly to sorghum to—somehow—dead bugs). Finally, Viktor wrapped things up with the scientific revelation that dogs were domesticated purely for snacks, which he fully supports, as snacks are the key to both human and canine loyalty. With that, he bid farewell until the next chaotic installment of The Viktor Wilt Show.

0:00 - Fixing a song issue that would actually have been hilarious to leave broken 2:22 - What's your most shallow dating requirement? 8:50 - Insults that don't have any swearing 11:58 - Fake cowboys and corrupt small towns 14:12 - Ring notification says a husky ate the neighbors 15:43 - We are giving away all kinds of prizes 16:43 - Toilet paper love story, doomsday bunker full of seeds, gold bar scam, man arrested for "odd behavior" with a Chucky doll 22:08 - UFOs and "reclining" your seat on an airplane 25:50 - Call about good UFO pictures 27:44 - Trying to get Jade to buy me stuff, 31:31 - Why you should get your pets spayed or neutered 36:13 - Talking about the website and merch I'm working on 40:40 - Bloody underwear and hair for sale 43:03 - Facebook owes me two bucks. Viktor Wilt kicks off the show by immediately blaming Peaches for something—classic start. A scheduling mistake almost led to country music playing on KBear, which would have sent listeners into a full-blown existential crisis. Luckily, disaster was averted, but Viktor still had to fix Peaches’ "fix" because, as it turns out, fixing something once doesn’t mean actually fixing it. Then, Viktor takes a deep dive into shallow dating requirements , where people reveal the pettiest reasons they won’t date someone—like having an outie belly button or walking the wrong way . Viktor questions if he's also shallow for needing proper spelling and grammar in texts, but ultimately decides that’s just common decency . Next, it’s time for G-rated insults , because not every insult needs to be NSFW. Gems include "You're unpleasant to be around" and "You're hard to underestimate." However, Viktor remains unimpressed—some things just need swear words for full impact. A listener then defends "All hat, no cattle" as a solid insult, leading Viktor into a rant about fake cowboys like Jason Aldean, who probably couldn’t survive a single week in a real small town . The Neighborhood Watch report gets weird when someone posts an alert about a murderous husky . They meant to say the dog killed chickens, but the way it was worded? Full-on Cujo vibes. Viktor calls fake news on the idea that a single husky went on a murder spree without anyone noticing. Over in Freak News , a woman gets a toilet paper tattoo to commemorate the aisle where she met her soulmate (romantic?), a guy gets scammed into wrapping $80,000 worth of gold bars in Christmas paper and handing them to a “federal agent” in a grocery store parking lot (genius), and another man gets arrested for weird behavior with a Chucky doll at a supermarket (thankfully, not that kind of weird behavior). Viktor also stumbles upon a truly disgusting auction featuring G.G. Allin’s bloodstained tighty-whities and Kurt Cobain’s hair —because apparently, people have too much money and no sense of shame . Meanwhile, Jade shows up to offer his usual deep wisdom ("Just play more music, Viktor"), while Viktor reveals that Facebook owes him a whopping $1.98 , which he tragically forfeited by not setting up his payout account. He mourns the loss of his sweet, sweet $2. As the show wraps up, Viktor prepares for another noon-hour session of who-knows-what , hoping the day blazes by so he can go home and do nothing . Just another day of radio mayhem!

Viktor Wilt bravely opens the phone lines to the masses, ready for the wildest, weirdest, and most random questions that Idaho has to offer. First up is Crazy Carl , who challenges Victor to pick three friends and a band to tour with for a year. Viktor, thinking strategically, chooses his bandmates and Tool—because old guys won’t pressure him into bad road trip decisions. Meanwhile, Carl dreams of partying with vintage Pantera , a choice that comes with guaranteed destruction and regret. Next, Nate wants to know about Victor’s go-to order at Franklin’s Famous Cheesesteaks. Viktor confesses he’s only eaten there once but got distracted by the blaring political TV. Nate suggests he return after 4 PM when the mood is less “apocalyptic news hour” and more “enjoy your sandwich in peace.” Then Justice calls in with a classic: “What’s your favorite horror movie?” This sends Viktor into a deep dive on Hereditary , Texas Chainsaw Massacre , and 13 Ghosts , while Justice holds it down for Friday the 13th and Darkness Falls . They bond over how refreshing it is when a remake doesn’t ruin everything ( looking at you, Pet Sematary ). In another round of nerdery, Kyle calls to ask about Viktor’s favorite video game. The answer? Red Dead Redemption 2 , of course. Viktor reveals that, instead of playing new games, he’s back to picking plants in the wilderness like a cowboy . Kyle relates, having played RDR2 four times, but both agree that nothing beats a single-player game where you can actually pause when real life interrupts. Peaches checks in from Twin Falls to gloat about totally calling the Summer of Loud tour lineup. Then, like a true road trip survivor, he warns about the dangers of Burley, Idaho —a town so abyss-like that even radio signals hesitate to enter. Josh shifts gears with a question about video game movies, and Viktor runs through the good ( The Last of Us ), the bad ( the Child’s Play remake ), and the unexpectedly great ( the Sonic movies ). Jim Carrey as Robotnik? Chef’s kiss. Then, another Josh drops in to ask which band was a letdown live. Viktor names Skillet —not for their music, but because the lead singer went on an out-of-nowhere angry political rant that totally killed the mood. Meanwhile, Fall Out Boy was so boring that Viktor and Jade literally left early . The requests start rolling in, with Peyton begging for some classic AC/DC ( Jailbreak ) and Kyle pitching the band Landmvrks , a group with an unnecessarily complicated spelling situation. Viktor promises to track down their music but accidentally finds a travel guide to actual landmarks in Salt Lake City instead. By the end of the hour, Viktor realizes he’s accomplished zero work, but at least he’s had a blast talking nonsense with listeners. With the week dragging on at an unbearable Tuesday pace, he signs off with some Nine Inch Nails and a desperate hope that tomorrow somehow goes faster .

Our hero, Viktor, begins the day with grand ambitions but quickly realizes that all he truly desires is a nap. The cozy studio is anything but cozy, and the struggle is real. The weather, however, is in a rare good mood, but with melting snow comes the potential for flooding—so, you know, maybe grab a shop vac and a prayer. The day's first crisis? Forgotten meds. Viktor, tormented by acid reflux, embarks on an epic journey back home, braving the cozy temptation of his own bed just to retrieve his lifesaving pills. The pain is so distracting that he nearly forgets he's on the radio, getting lost in a Reddit thread about the hideous lion in Red Dead Redemption 2. Seriously, Rockstar, what happened there? In local news, Pocatello’s Gate City Brewfest is on the horizon, boasting 80 different beers and a dangerously early start time. The advice? Try some, but maybe don’t try all 80 unless you want to be the town legend for all the wrong reasons. As Viktor searches for lighthearted news, he stumbles upon an award-winning Candy Crush addiction lawsuit (imagine getting paid to have a gaming problem) and a tragic tale of a couple forced to sit next to a corpse on a flight. That’s not even the worst airline story—someone also got bitten by a tarantula mid-flight. This convinces Victor that maybe skipping the rock radio convention in Vegas wasn’t the worst thing after all. The merch wars rage on, as Viktor and callers debate the lack of plus-size band shirts. Pro tip from a listener: If they won’t make your size, bootleg it yourself! Meanwhile, the Fyre Festival is making a comeback because some people never learn. Tickets range from “expensive mistake” to one million dollars for an all-access package. That includes access to something called the “fight pit,” which raises so many questions. Bathroom crime is also on the rise—one woman stole a sink from a restaurant (??), while a gang of thieves melted down a solid gold toilet worth millions. And if that wasn’t bad enough, a grocery store employee spent four years relieving herself on food. Yes, four years. This is why we wash our produce, people. Finally, Viktor debunks another internet lie—Stephen King is not writing for the new Dark Tower adaptation. Just another example of why you shouldn’t believe everything you read online… unless it’s this recap, of course. After much distraction, Viktor prepares for his next shift, questioning all of existence and debating whether he should be the new spokesperson for Tums. And with that, the Viktor Wilt Show rolls on.

We kicked things off with a deep dive into habits people think are normal but are secretly repulsive—like cash register creepers, nail-clipping coworkers, and the universally despised crime of licking fingers to turn pages. (Seriously, why?!) From there, we spiraled into the morning habits of the perpetually miserable, proving that the only thing worse than waking up early is immediately doom-scrolling yourself into a rage. Viktor also enlightened us on his weekend escapades, featuring RuPaul’s Drag Race, a wild night out in the music scene, and the heartwarming tale of his daughter's new, blissfully unaware cat. Then, we took a detour into the ever-brilliant minds of TikTok, where kids are now voluntarily dropping household appliances on their feet for internet points—because apparently, Tide Pods weren’t enough. Somewhere in between, we got sidetracked by the smell of cinnamon-scented pine cones, an overripe nectarine, and a desperate craving for hibachi. But the real chaos hit when we discussed the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater’s “Summer of Loud 2025” lineup—an absolute metal overload that will undoubtedly shake the earth (and probably our eardrums). And let’s not forget the ongoing mission to bring a rock show to Idaho Falls—because, honestly, why aren’t there more?! The episode reached peak absurdity with the story of a Chinese student who, in an attempt to hide his inflatable girlfriend from his roommate, chose the only logical course of action: setting it on fire. Predictably, this backfired—resulting in a dormitory blaze and, undoubtedly, a lifetime of humiliation. (Dude, just deflate it next time!) All in all, it was a masterclass in ridiculousness, sprinkled with a bit of existential dread about taxes, politics, and the lingering winter blues. But hey, at least the sun is coming back, and with it, the faint hope that we’ll all actually accomplish something productive... eventually.

0:00 - Marriage proposal fails 4:54 - Sickness going around, weather looking positive next week 6:50 - New Disturbed track, stories that people say are true regardless of being unbelievable 11:45 - New horror attraction from Universal opening in August in Vegas 16:46 - Traffic School will be a little different today 17:56 - Connecticut aims to take the best pizza in America crown, North Dakota wants to lock up librarians, emotional support chickens 24:38 - Woman to divorce husband for booing Taylor Swift 26:20 - Upcoming giveaways and taco sauce talk 32:01 - What is Sleep Token up to? 34:27 - Giving away tickets to Dropkick Murphys & Bad Religion, giving away a Nintendo Switch Bundle This episode was a glorious rollercoaster of absolute chaos, questionable life advice, and the kind of hot takes that could start a small riot. We kicked things off with a deep dive into marriage proposal fails—because nothing says romance like a half-hearted "I guess" or a full-blown rejection in a hot air balloon. Speaking of things falling apart, we then learned that librarians are apparently criminals now, because one lawmaker thinks letting kids read Pet Sematary is a jailable offense. Meanwhile, the Internet exists, but sure, let’s fight the book people. Then came the real controversy: tacos and sauce preferences. Viktor, a self-proclaimed sauce hoarder, admitted his love for taco sauce that resembles ketchup, sparking outrage from taco purists. One caller even accused him of participating in "white people taco night." Shots were fired. Meanwhile, we also learned that HOA boards are the true villains of society, as one South Jersey woman fights for her emotional support chickens. Justice for the chickens! Not to be outdone by the chaos, we also tackled horror attractions, celebrity sightings, and the deep philosophical question of whether booing Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl is grounds for divorce. (Spoiler: For one woman, yes.) But don’t worry, the show wasn't all just absurdity—we also got important updates on haunted houses in Vegas, mysterious jungle cats on the loose, and the existential crisis of New Haven pizza’s superiority complex. In summary: This episode had everything—failed proposals, librarian takedowns, condiment debates, loose circus panthers, and emotional support poultry. If that’s not peak entertainment, I don’t know what is.
