## Resource

Peaches and Viktor Wilt kicked off this episode the only logical way possible: aggressively debating Easter candy like it’s a presidential election, including Cadbury Eggs, Robin Eggs, and whether Ferrero Rocher is actually “fancy” or just gold-wrapped lies . From there, things swerved into video game territory when Peaches brought up a “Top 10 Best Games Ever” list that immediately offended Viktor’s soul—mainly because GTA somehow didn’t make the cut, and apparently whoever voted should be investigated by the FBI. The guys break down Resident Evil lore, VR horror gaming, Cyberpunk’s redemption arc, and Peaches nearly selling his Xbox just to upgrade his gaming PC like a man preparing for financial ruin in the name of graphics. Then it gets even better: they roast the radio industry for insulting pay rates, including an iHeartMedia program director job in Washington, DC that pays “barely enough to afford a single Pringle.” Toss in gas prices draining bank accounts in real time, payday struggles, and a side quest involving Tom Hardy getting photographed at the beach like he’s being hunted for sport. The episode ends with Peaches and Viktor butchering state names like they’re reading a map upside down in a tornado, proving once again that education is optional when you have microphones.
