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.
