Could this be the last time Rix and Victor record Stream of Thought in their current studio? Hopefully they've got more in them (pending Rix's schedule of course). May the gods and goddesses of podcasting allow us to grace us with his presence once more... *record scratch* But until that happens we've got another great episode! Victor witnesses ROAD RAGE, Rix realizes today may be the last time they record in their current studio, and of course, The Never-Ending Saga of Irrational, Bitter Individuals: Occurrences and Observations - a novella by Rix and Victor with an honorable mention of those who are over-joyous and potentially psychotic.

Good news! Rix is still in town! Yay! The two start things off by Rix bringing Victor up to speed on the country's main source of entertainment that is POLITICS. He then informs Victor of the soon to be boxing match between two major YouTube personalities that have huge cult followings yet are disregarded by mainstream America. Things take a turn upon the discussion of aliens and the magical powers of Nostradamus, and the conversation finally ends with a brief dissection of our place in the universe.

For Episode 92 of Stream of Thought, Christmas has come early for Victor! Rix brings in old family record albums and they sort through a collection of music that will bring back memories for anyone a fan of the 60s or 70s. 

Then, a "Ranting Rix" as Victor asks a question he knows will get a response from his counterpart. He shares his general sentiment on the state of the world and U.S. and a little info on what's going on with the global stage.

Victor follows up with a story about a walk in the woods to a film project he had a sinking feeling about. But he's in it for the experience and what his latest role in a student film taught him is good advice for everyone.

And finally, we close with an update to Stream of Thought. We've got some changes coming and Rix shares a little about what'll be the future of our little podcast.

Episode 92 of Stream of Thought, we hope you... enjoy!

Well today on episode 90 of Stream of Thought, we deal with the human psyche. Victor goes into an acting gig without knowing what exactly he's getting into, and both Rix and Victor discuss how a sour experience can turn into something... magical.

 

This of course goes into a deep dive on what makes a person a good person or an a-hole, and whether or not certain people can be reasoned with. There's quite a bit of back and forth and Victor and Rix discuss what is acceptable in the public sphere.

 

An intense and thought-provoking episode, we launch into episode 90 with abandon, and as always, we hope you... enjoy!

Wait, so the Donald and Kanye West are buds?? Anything can happen in America. #Kanye2020. Apparently Donald Trump has a soft spot for parades, glowing orbs and jelly beans. Animal Critters! What does Victor aspire to do someday? Build a humble abode with little creatures like that scene in Ace Ventura when he walks into his apartment and they all come out of their hiding place to show him affection and love. Awwww... Also, Rix's fascination with Beyonce.  Who knew he was such a fan!?

On episode 88 of Stream of Thought, Victor and Rix touch off their conversation with a conversation on some basic life skills. Should everyone know how to do certain things? Spell, swim, start a fire? Should others think less of you if you don't have a certain life skill? We discuss.

Then, we hit the first turn of our 400 meter dash with the joy and thrill of sports during childhood, along with the agony of waking up with little sleep every morning as a youth.

But we're young and stupid, so we obviously go into some of our dumber choices as children and how those events reflect on our personalities now as adults.

A nice stroll through the park, Episode 88 will fill with you nostalgia, and as always, we hope you... enjoy!

Happy Earth Day! Not every story has a happy ending, especially when last year Victor made an attempt to save and care for a piece of Mother Nature on this special day. Flip-flopper!! *points finger* Shame. Shame. Shame. Yes, people are allowed to change their minds as they evolve into more intuitive and open-minded human beings, even politicians. What's on TV? Nothing, because most of today's great programming is available on Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, YouTube, etc. Rix and Victor discuss the drastic change in entertainment since their upbrining in the 1990's (whoa, the 1900's...). And finally, Summer ACTIVITIES!!! Summer movies and the pool are right around the corner!

No way!? An impromptu trip to Los Angeles to escape the nasty Midwest weather!? Kewl. Airfare: cheap and basic versus high class. You're hired, no wait, now you're fired.

On Episode 85 of Stream of Thought, Victor and Rix make the weather a little better by talking about the joys of “getting adjusted.”

Then, a trip down memory lane and Victor discovers a newspaper from 1993 in the Chicago Tribune right after Michael Jordan announced his first retirement from the game.

And finally, TV shows and favorites. As you might guess, both Victor and Rix have very different takes on their top five. Tune in to find out! And as always, we hope you... enjoy!
