The Viktor Wilt Show daily recap! If you miss the show weekdays from 6A-10A MST, you've come to the right place.
It's the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem and I'm Logan.
I'm Viktor Wilt. We got Logan in here, our IT pro running the board, learning how to do a little bit of voice tracking today. So we're just going to kind of wing it and see where we go. We were both just kind of whining off air about being tired, both of us up too late. Now for you, what was too late? I stayed up till about 2.30. Okay, if I stayed up till 2.30, I'd probably have to call in to work.
Yeah. I'd be so exhausted. Go ahead and give us some music bed as well, Logan. Go ahead and just pick one out, whatever you'd like.
They should all work fine. There we go. That's a shorter one, so if you hear it, and just throw on another one when you're done. I stayed up till, I think it was like 10.30 or 11, which is really late for me because I went to the Spud King's game. Oh yeah. You ever been to one of those? I haven't. I keep saying I need to go to one.
I've been to a Utah, the mammoth one, not in Salt Lake, but I've been to a Spud King one. It was a blast, man. They had really good production, lighting, sound. The excitement level was high. The place was packed to the brim. They had some fire. There was fighting and stuff. It was awesome.
I had a blast. Did they win? They did. Wow.
I guess Ogden, the team they were playing, is currently in first place in that league or whatever, so they crushed them four to one. Wow. That was great to see. Yeah, I definitely got to go to more because it was loads of fun. I feel like going to, it's kind of the same thing as baseball for me. I hate watching it on TV, but when I actually go in person to watch the kind of game, same thing as hockey. Oh yeah.
I'm like locked into it because I'm like, wow, this is sick. Yeah, baseball is way funer life. I think it's something about the energy of the crowd.
In a hockey game, people are screaming at the players, you suck. It was just wild. It was really fun. What were you up late doing?
I was up late. Me and my fiance just finished up a show called 11-22-63. Excellent story. Now, I've never watched the show. I think I started watching it. I'm kind of a Stephen King fanatic. I collect his books. Multiple versions of pretty much every book he has. That book is like a masterpiece.
It's one of his best. I think when I started the show, some kind of change they made to it or something frustrated me because you know how it is when they adapt books. Yeah, they always have to cut important things out for sure. Yeah, so what did you think of the series? Is it worth watching?
I thought it was good. I haven't read the book yet. I didn't even know it was a Stephen King thing until four episodes in and it showed that he was a producer and I was like, hmm, and so I did some research and saw it was his book. But as far as the show goes, I was pretty impressed. I thought it's a really cool premise of what a story would be about going back and stopping the assassination. I thought that's pretty cool. Yeah, for anybody who's never heard of the story, it's about a guy who finds a way to travel through time. I'm trying to avoid any spoilers because it's kind of a weird way to travel through time.
Yeah, it is. And yeah, he wants to go back and stop the JFK assassination. And does he or does he not? I'm not going to say. But yeah, are you a reader?
I am. Yeah, dude, you should read the book, man. I need to read it. I just finished a project.
Kilmeri. Who wrote that? What's the guy wrote the Martian?
OK, it was his like. I guess the Martian has tons of F words in it and stuff. And so he wanted to make like a more family friendly kind of a sci-fi ish book. My dad was telling me, showed me the preview of it.
The movie's coming out, I think this year. Oh, right on. And so he got all excited.
Read the book, told me to read it. I was like, wow, it was pretty sick. It was pretty cool.
Nice. I'll have to check that one out. Yeah, dude, if you enjoy reading 11 2263 is definitely one of Stephen King's best.
Is it a shorter book? No, it's a break, man. OK, it's a break. So cool.
Cool. Probably, you know, a thousand pages. I can't remember exactly, but it's one of his really big, thick books. And it's just so good, man. So good. I have to read it now that I've watched the show. I feel like reading it. Sometimes I do that. Like that's how I started with Harry Potter when I was younger. Ah, was a. I saw the movies come out. And so I was like, I probably should read these. And so I started reading them. I was like, oh, these are way better than the movies. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
There's like no comparison. The books are excellent. I feel like the only one movie wise that was like, like I was like, wow, that's actually I would say pretty close to the book was a prisoner of ask.
Yeah, dude. I don't even know if I watched the like final few movies like because I was reading them. I think I started off similar. I watched the first movie or two with the kids and then everybody at the time was into the books. And so I think from book four or five on, I was reading them.
As they were released. And yeah, I remember picking the final book up on the day it dropped and just mowing through it. And now those books are excellent, too. They're great books.
Like anybody out there, I mean, I wouldn't have thought I would really like those books because I'm, you know, mainly a horror guy, like I said, being really into Stephen King and stuff like that. But did you watch the welcome to dairy show? I have one episode left.
Okay. Have you seen that? I started watching it. I have to watch my fiance won't watch that kind of stuff.
No. And so I was watching by myself. But yeah, I was, I liked it. I liked the movies a lot. I thought the movies were pretty good. Yeah.
They did a pretty, pretty good job for compacting that story into, you know, three or four hours. Right. Yeah. Because that's another one of those books that's over a thousand pages. And I feel like it's way more sci-fi in the books than it is in the movie. Yeah. So you've read the book. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Like the end of the book or at least the final battle with Pennywise, like there's no way to film that. No, no, not like, I feel like they did okay, I guess, for like condensing it and trying to, you know, with with the effects that they did and things like that. But yeah, because it's like taking place in an outside of time space.
And I love that book too. But I did think for making it into a movie, they did a good job. Have you watched the old version? From like the 90s? The miniseries? I've watched it all the way through. And I think I've watched bits and pieces of the old movie. Can't remember the original guy who played Pennywise's name. Oh my gosh. I remember like Tim Curry. Yeah.
And he like crawls out of the drain. That kind of thing. Yeah, I remember that. But yeah, I read that book in high school because I started to get really into Stephen King stuff in high school.
Nice. What's the other book he has? Is it the Tower? The Dark Tower? The Dark Tower, yeah.
Oh boy. Don't even get me started on Dark Tower. We should probably talk more books here on the next break. Definitely. So yeah, let's keep going.
We'll be back here in just a few. It's the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem and this is Logan. And I'm Victor Wilt. We're talking, I guess, Stephen King today, man. I didn't realize you were a Stephen King guy. Yeah.
Yeah. Big book guy. I read books all the time in high school, which most people probably looked at me and were like, there's no way this guy reads any books. But yeah, I was a big Stephen King guy. I really was into horror stuff when I was in high school.
I really enjoyed that kind of that kind of area in books and. Heck yeah, man. Yeah.
Yeah. Like I mentioned, you know, I collect a variety of authors, but Stephen King's the one I have the most stuff from. We were talking 1122, so 63 and it earlier. But you mentioned the Dark Tower. Have you read the entire series? I have not read the entire series. I know I need to.
You've got a man. That's my favorite series of books of all time. Isn't that one that one it takes place? Like it kind of like combines like all of his stories, doesn't it? In a sense. Well, it does take elements and sometimes characters and things from other books.
Right. There are tie ins to the stand, Salem's lot, you know, and like I think even 1122, 63, there's little things you can catch if you've read the Dark Tower that you would notice as nods to the Dark Tower. And like in his newer books or if you pick up the later Dark Tower books at the front, it'll have, you know, like in bold, it'll list all of his books, but in bold, it'll list the books that tie in. Oh, OK. You know, like Insomnia. I mean, there's so many of them.
But that that series of books, I'm like kind of psycho for. OK. Like I gave my younger daughter the middle name Rose. Oh, there you go. Because of the Dark Tower. I I have first editions of every Dark Tower book, even the Gunslinger, which is like a super rare Stephen King book.
That's it. And I don't know how many different copies I have of Dark Tower books, but on my Dark Tower like shelf, I or on the that book shelf in particular, you know, six shelves, I think three of them are filled up with just versions of the Dark Tower. That's sick. So yeah, definitely a fanatic for that.
They're supposed to be. Are you familiar with Mike Flanagan? He does.
He did like Midnight Mass. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's working on adapting the Dark Tower.
OK. You know, for some kind of streaming platform and doing it right. Because they made this movie. I don't know if you saw the Dark Tower movie, but it was God awful. No, I haven't seen it yet. No, just don't waste my time. Don't waste your time with it. It's kind of just universally known among Stephen King fans as being one of the worst adaptations ever.
It's so bad. Because I mean, there are eight books in the main Dark Tower series, and they made them like like an hour and a half movie out of it. Oh, wow.
It's like like 3,000 pages or something. Yeah, that does not work. Yeah. And I think to anybody who wasn't familiar with the books, I don't even know how they'd make any sense of the movie, because there is just little handpicked things that they somehow slapped together a movie out of it.
It was so bad. So I'm definitely pumped to see what Mike Flanagan can do with it because he's so good, like Midnight Mass is great. That one's the camera. Like I remember it's like the cop guy and like they're on like the little town. Yeah, it's like a vampire story.
Vampire, yeah. Yeah, I did really enjoy that. I thought that was really cool.
Yeah. Have you checked out any of his other stuff like Follow the House of Usher or Oh, geez, why can't I think of the names of them? I mean, they're all on Netflix. Anything Mike Flanagan is good. He did a number of series on Netflix and they're all just excellent, man. But it sounds like your fiance doesn't like watching horror.
No, she's really into like what's it called? Vanderpump Rules. Vanderpump Rules. Yeah. See, I don't even know if I'm familiar with that. Yeah, I had no idea what it was, but it's like a reality.
OK. Reality show. She really likes the reality stuff. And OK, you know, drama filled TV kind of stuff.
Gotcha. Does she enjoy RuPaul's Drag Race? She's watched it. She's really, yeah, she's just really into like that kind of stuff. Like she loves the like the reality shows, like the what are they called? Like the Bake Offs. Oh, OK. Gotcha.
And things like that. So she always gives me crap because like when I picked 11, 22, 63, she was like, what even is this about? I explained it to her and she wasn't interested the first like two episodes. And then like by the third episode, when he goes back to save Harry from.
I'm from his family. She was like locked in from the run out. And so last night it was like we had like three episodes left and she was like, it hit like 11.30 and I was like, all right, play one more. And then she was the one I was like, you can stay up a little bit. And I was like, I got to work tomorrow. Well, it's okay to be a little bit groggy around here. I certainly was today and somehow survived morning show.
But yeah, I don't watch a lot of reality TV, but for a little bit there, I was hooked on drag race. It's okay. It's just you want to talk about drama. Have you seen that one where they do like the tattoos on each other?
Huh. They would like, I can't remember the name of the show, but like they would like, like it would be like friends and family and they would give them like the worst tattoo possible. That sounds pretty good. It was crazy. I'm excited. I don't know the new fear factor just came out. So I'm going to start watching that. That's out now. Yeah.
So I think they released like the first episode or two or something like that. So I got to watch that. All right.
I'm going to have to look into that tonight for sure. Yeah. Well, let's go ahead and get into this next song and then we'll come back in the app of Chimor about some kind of crap here in just a minute. It's the new and our madness and mayhem with Logan and Victor Logan, our IT guy in here learning how to use the old voice tracker. And we just been talking horror and TV. You mentioned when you were younger, you were into quite a bit of horror. Were there any other authors aside from Stephen King? You liked? Um, not that unnecessarily.
I feel like Stephen King was the big one, but I also was like, I don't know why, but I was really into like the scary stories books. Yeah. They're excellent.
Yeah. So I was like really into those, especially in like middle school and things like that. The big series I liked growing up was Artemis Fowl. I've never read any of that.
I started that in like elementary school and then the Aragon series. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
I never read any of that either, but the scary stories books, when I was a kid, like probably pretty dang young, you know, they were like new. Yeah. And, you know, they were just so good. That's probably why I got into Stephen King and all the other horrors just because of those books. And a few years ago, I found like a hardback collection of them.
Oh, really? At some used bookstore. And I was so pumped because I, you know, I don't know what happened to the paperbacks I had from when I was a kid, but I gave the hardback to my girlfriend's daughter.
Nice. To Riki. I don't think she's delvin.
I think she flipped through, saw some of the pictures and was like, ah, no. But yeah, I loved Goosebumps when I was a kid. Oh yeah, Goosebumps was awesome. I've still got a huge collection of those. So I've been trying to get her to read that stuff. I gave them, I initially bought a big collection of them for my girls, but they're now older and they left them at home.
So, you know, trying to pass them on. Those books are just so fun. You know, R.L.
Stein, I think, is kind of an underrated author. Oh, definitely. Yeah. Those Goosebumps books were super great. I know they did that TV show like, was it like two years ago or something like that?
Yeah. I haven't watched any of that. I watched it briefly and it was, you know, I had a, they got to play to Ross from Friends. Oh, okay. I can't remember if he was playing like R.L.
Stein or, or what? But yeah, I watched a couple episodes and I was like, yeah, it's okay. Right on. But yeah, the books are great. I remember reading those like nonstop growing up. Yeah. And they're, I mean, they're, they're for kids, but they are well written stories. Yeah, definitely. You know, they're great.
So yeah, you know, we've been talking Stephen King and horror and TV shows and such. You got any, aside from 11, 22, 63, which was what you just got done watching. Any, what are some of your all time favorite TV shows? Cause I'm always looking for new crap to watch. So I guess like my, my favorite all time is Breaking Bad. There you go.
I've never seen that. And then I would throw a game of Thrones up there. What do you think of the end? The final season? So the thing was, is I waited until the whole series was out to watch it because for a long time I was like, oh, that doesn't look that interesting or whatever. And then it finished. And I remember I still waited like another year after the last season came out to like, all right, we were gonna sit down watching. I got locked in. And so the ending I was kind of like, I think the frustrating part for a lot of the fans were probably the fact that they waited so long to get that as their ending. Yeah.
Where I was able to binge it. I kind of was like, I guess it like it makes sense in a sense, you know, like in a way that like it would be him to be the one at the end. But at the same time, I was like, that just feels like a cop out.
Yeah. My frustration with the end, because I did watch it as it as it aired, you know, maybe starting with season three, then I was just watching it each year when it came out. But to me, it felt like they should have given it another season and really stretched out the events of that final season. It felt just kind of rushed. I think that ultimately everything that happens made sense. But it felt like they just kind of pummeled you with wrapping up plot, especially the whole thing was like, Danari's just in the span of like two episodes, just going from like, yeah, fine to like, oh, she's wants to kill everyone. And I was like, that would have made more sense if they dragged it throughout an entire season. Yeah.
Because like the Mad King, all that stuff, whatever. But like, I kind of was just like a little like it felt rushed. And I know that the creators of the show, I think they were leaving to do Star Wars.
That might have been the problem. And then they were in Star Wars, too. So, you know, I was like, you know, feel two things that I love. So.
Yeah. Game of Thrones, I still definitely think is worth watching. Breaking Bad, I think I'd agree with you. It was my favorite show of all time. Did you watch Better Call Saul? I did. What?
What do you think? Yeah, it was good. I I still like, I just I enjoyed Breaking Bad. I would more Breaking Bad is more. I want to say fun. Yeah, it's more and it's crazier. Yeah, definitely. And it starts crazy.
And then you watch El Camino. Yeah. Yeah.
Great. El Camino was really good, too. I thought that was a cool little like follow up wrap up of. Yeah. You know, seeing his story at the end and seeing how it actually played out.
Have you watched any of Vince Gilligan's new show? I think it's called like Pluribus or something. Pluribus. No, I haven't. I know he made one, but I hadn't. Yeah, it's got I think her name's Ray Seahorn, who played Jimmy McGill's girlfriend in Better Call Saul. She's like the main character. I haven't watched any of it yet, but it's been getting like rave reviews.
So I really want to check that one out. Have you watched the Sopranos? Actually, no, I keep what's funny is like I'll get on my TikTok or something and I'll get sucked into like the little like three, four minute clip. And I'll be like, I got to watch this show.
Dude. And then I just like I never do. And I know I would probably just love it because I hear all the time that it's like tons of people's probably like favorite show or top five or something. Oh, yeah, it's probably the only show I'd put up with Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
Like, I mean, it's it's right up there. And that's another show that, you know, I watched as it aired. And I was really young. That's when I was, you know, they wrapped it up when I was in my like early 20s, maybe.
And, you know, when you have these big gaps between seasons, you like forget so much. And back then we didn't have streaming. So, you know, if you didn't have like the VHS or DVD collections, you couldn't go back and catch up. So last year I binged to the whole thing and it was so good. Like it was so much better than I remembered. And it just seemed like just a masterpiece. How many seasons does it have?
I think it has seven or eight. But dude, I got to watch it. Yeah, we'll have to turn that on. We've been we just finished up. That's the thing I feel like I've been watching tons of shows lately. Like I just watched, I just binge watched.
That's what I do. Dude, Yellowstone was a big one that we enjoyed. I felt like they messed up the ending in that one the last season. I didn't watch the final season. Yeah, I watched the first two episodes and I was like, all right, that's cool.
I just feel like that in general. I did watch there's a new show on Netflix called His and Hers. Yeah, I saw that one pop up. I haven't started watching it yet. It has the craziest like plot twist. No, the end that I've ever watched in any show. OK, I literally was like, oh, all right, I had no idea.
Like you would not have expected that in the slightest. Well, I'm going to have to check that one out then if it's that. And it's like a day binge kind of thing. Like it's I think they're like 40 minutes.
And there's like six episodes and they're like 40 minutes each or something. They're nothing. OK, nothing too crazy. But yeah, it was it was really good. I really enjoyed it. And I feel like whenever I watch like the murder mystery kind of like TV shows, like it's really easy to like pick out like the, you know, you have like a like three or four people that you're like one of these guys. That show, like I was I did not you have no idea until the last like 10 minutes of the series. All right.
It's insane. Well, maybe I'll have to, you know, power that one down this weekend because I'm hoping to be lazy. Yes. Well, we'll be back with just a little more chat in a minute.
So noon hour of madness in Mayhem. I'm Logan. I'm Victor.
And how you feeling on running the voice tracker? I know it's quite complex. Fourth time's the charm.
I'm trying to get it. Right. Well, good.
And tomorrow you're going to come in and hang out during traffic school powered by the advocates. Yep. Yep.
All right. And you did you sit in on that show before I did it? I think you guys put me on like my first second week here.
You guys are going to have you do this. And I was like, OK, just run the board. Yeah, just go. Oh, yeah. And taking calls and stuff. Yeah. But my brother called in. That's right.
That's right. Well, we'll get you some more practice tomorrow. Put you in the hot seat over there. And it should be pretty fun with Lieutenant Crane of the Idaho State Police. By the way, everybody, he and his family are going to be on Family Feud next week on the 27th and 28th.
Whoa. So I think it airs on Channel Eight at 4 p.m. Hopefully tomorrow he'll have some information on maybe somewhere where everybody can get together and watch it. I don't know. We were trying to figure out some kind of a viewing party. That's sweet.
Yeah, that's way cool. Now, you won't even. You know, he did this recording like I mean, it must have been at least six months ago, if not longer. And he's to this day, hasn't told me what happens. Well, keeping it a secret on if he won or not. Yeah, yeah, I don't know if it's some kind of an NDA type thing or I'm like, no, we're homies. I'm not going to get on air and say just tell me. He's like, no.
So I don't know. Every time I see him around here, he's got a big smile. So maybe that's a indication.
It could be. He's always seen happy. So his family is really funny, too. It should be pretty entertaining because, you know, his wife's funny. His kids are funny.
He's a weirdo. It should be a good time. So I have to watch that.
That'd be sweet. Yeah, make sure to check that out, everybody. Tune in tomorrow morning for traffic school powered by the advocates at 845 a.m. And yeah, we'll answer your questions about the law.
Join us live. Make it easy on Logan, who's going to be answering the phones. Call us so that he, you know, we got to really put his phone answering skills to the test, put him through the ringer.
So we need we need your help to, you know, really make it tough on him. So well, it was good getting to chat. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. Learned a little bit about you that I didn't know.
You know, so I think I'm going to have to watch those shows you recommended. And I'll give 11. Maybe it's been long enough since I read 11, 22, 63 that I won't get mad. Right. I watch it. Yeah.
Because I think I tried to watch it right after I read the book. And that's usually never terrible. That's not a good. No.
Good combo. Because you're just remembering every little thing. You're like pointing at the TV and you're like, he didn't do that. What are you doing? Like, why'd you make this change?
This change doesn't make any sense. Yep. So. All right, everybody, we're going to get out of here. We'll leave you with some more music. Have a good day. Bye bye now.
