He was pulled over and nearly arrested after reaching +105mph down I-290. Grab your brandy, grab your cigar and join the two fireside as they converse over the matters of reckless driving, innocent, yet annoying human behaviors, the age of social media and savory, delectable eye candy... enjoy...
It’s episode 21, and it’s time to pArTy!!!. Victor's friends from good ol' Indan'r come to Chicago where they have no choice but to get a little silly. Beer you say? Wine you say? FIREBALL you say? However, upon transitioning to the next day somewhere between 5:30am and 10:00am (when Victor finally slept) his body saught revenge for the damange he'd done. On a more positive note, Rix shares a few tasty recipes he enjoys preparing for himself that are sure to whet your appetite. Victor could care...
Coffee or Tea? YOU DECIDE! According to Victor, tea is the obvious choice but knowing Rix, he will probably analyze both scenarios, gather the pros and cons from each side and then draw an unbiased, but sound, conclusion as to what to ingest. Moving on... wait, what's that? Victor's boss is mysteriously fired!?!? Was it prostitutes? Probably not, but just in case it was, Victor had nothing to do with it... or did he? Life is Life. wtf? Be sure to listen all the way through Victor and Rix discuss...
Great ideas should be followed with meticulous planning... should, but that's not always the case. What prevented Rix and Victor from driving to Carbondale, IL to view the 2017 Solar Eclipse in its totality? -> Detailed planning - Wah wah... But what's wrong with having no plan at all? Everything according to Rix. Animals, Animals, ANIMALS! What did Rix find in his backyard that almost made him crap his pants? How did Victor feel after a small creature evaded his trap? And how did "thots" ent...
What happens when two guys can't think about what to discuss?? Highschool/College stories that involve... ALCOHOL!!! GLUG! GLUG! GLUG!

Who wants to take boring cold medecine when you can whip up your own natural remedy!? While Victor's health recovers, Rix carries his parents' 75lb back door up and down a flight of stairs over half a dozen times. After this banter, the two touch the topic of Charlottesville, Virginia where white supremacist rallies recently took place over. Surprising takes are offered as we try to work through some of the miscommunication going on over why Confederate statues are going down across the south. F...
Victor and Rix are back again, and this time it's all about mischievous behavior and benevolent people. For Victor's amusement, he shares a story from high school about a room full of teenagers packed like sardines, the police, and a couple collapsed fences. Rix, not having anything near as exciting from his own teenage years, talks a little about just how much trouble seminary students actually get in, and how that life behind the ivory towers of religious education are nothing like you might t...
In this episode of Stream of Thought, Victor shares a little about why he's been afraid to eat the past couple of days, which has nothing to do with his near-violent encounter with a litterbug he met while working on the televsion show, Chicago Med. This of course gets Rix on the track of whether or not violence is ever appropriate in a situation or if it's possible to "out smart" someone before it comes to fisticuffs. Finally, a dose of politics in the form of right versus left media, the probl...

Welcome back as we continue "A Tale of Two Travels"! In this continuation of our previous episode Rix dissects the interesting yet entertaining idiosyncracies of his extended family upon his travels to the tropical land of Florida, Victor shares his underwhelming experience at the car wash in an attempt to stroll through memory lane (as he attempts to relive the magical whirlwind of soap, water and spinning cloth) and finally the two wrap things up with a speed round of random thoughts that stre...
After returning from a 9-day hiatus, Victor and Rix catch up on their separate travels to foreign lands (LA and Tampa).

Nosey neighbors...police...seriously?

We're later taken on a run toward Rix’s frustration with inept individuals who can't seem to accomplish the simplest of tasks and thus impede on his day-to-day operations so that he may swoop in and save the day. Kaleidescope. That's what you need to s...
On this episode of Stream of Thought Rix begins to tell the tale of his most recent encounter with the POLICE!!! Did we mention he was pulled over while riding his bike?

Later, they find themselves in another "stream of thought" discussing the wonders of ...
Memes & Models. What else is there to say? ;)
Nothing grinds Rix's gears like political disourse, but prior to expressing his frustration with the current political climate, he makes his agitation known toward Victor and his technical inability to get anything right even though everything was cool as a cucumber and it was all in Rix's head. Speaking of Rix, our program later explores what it was like for him to move from the quiet West Suburbs of Chicago to the noisy, hustle and bustle of New York City. Also, a brief introduction to college...
I said Dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no! I said "far out, what a day, a year, a life it is!" You know, well you know, you had it comin' to you Now, there's not a lot I can do...

Believe it or not, prior to the name, "Stream of Thought", Rix and Victor struggled to make ends meet in finding the most perfect combination of letters and words that best reflected their audio endeavor. What were some of those names??? Wait...Rix used to do improv!? Victor does improv! Cool. And how do these two talking heads know each other? High School of course. Listen on as the two stare off into space and reminisce during a segment of "High School Stories". Victor had Saturday morning det...
Welcome to the very FIRST episode of Stream of Thought!!! Victor and Rix start things off by revealing why they love podcasts and discuss a few they enjoy. Rix then gives his two cents on a book he's never read by an author he doesn't care for - what!? How ironic since he claims to always see the big picture in his "forest filled with trees" analogy. Speaking of books (and forests), what do Victor and Rix find attractive in women? Intellect. For Real? YES! Why? Because they're well-mannered, aca...
