He dives into a Reddit thread discussing the dumbest things people take pride in, including never taking a day off when sick, willful ignorance, being mean, and making a political party their entire identity. He shares his thoughts on taking mental health days, staying informed, and avoiding toxic behaviors. The conversation shifts to Grammy reactions, where Viktor critiques the awards for favoring legacy artists like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones over contemporary acts, while praising Gojira's win. He also discusses The Last of Us Part II, hyping up its compelling yet divisive story as HBO gears up for season two.Later, Viktor and Peaches explore possible tapestry decorations for the studio and try Post Malone-themed Oreos, giving them a strong review but wishing they had more filling. The show also touches on conspiracy theories about Zuckerberg hiding proof of aliens, and a caller references a government whistleblower's claims about non-human biologics. Finally, they discuss Instagram’s new feature exposing liked posts, leading to a broader conversation about social media’s decline. The show wraps up with Viktor humorously rejecting self-affirmation exercises and journaling, sticking to his signature mix of sarcasm and genuine insights.0:00 - Stupid things that people are proud of10:29 - XVIII in Idaho Falls article from East Idaho News13:47 - Courtney from Spiritbox is Poppy17:34 - The Last of Us season 2 is coming in April22:26 - Please don't call the President \"Daddy\" as it is cringey and weird to do so25:31 - Time traveler basically warns that the world is going to end, man shoots friend who says he can \"dodge bullets\", selfies will kill you32:29 - Talking with Peaches about our current work rearranging and redecorating the studio, trying the Post Malone Oreos42:09 - Zuckerberg is hiding the proof of alien...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/b_rSbP-Fodsz9DfcFuAQ1C3nEabANC9ZvFydFbQVLrU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jMzI0/ZWMyZTgzNGU5NzQ1/OGI2MjQxNWY2MzE3/YWI4Yy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
