Thank You for Reading My Internet Garbage
There are moments when I stop and look at the analytics for NielFlamm.com, and I honestly have to laugh a little. When I started this little hobby, I figured the only people visiting would be a handful of friends, family members, and maybe someone who clicked the wrong link.
Instead, something unexpected has happened.
I've started seeing steady movement in the site's traffic, especially through the RSS feed, and visitors are coming from places I never imagined. A huge percentage of readers and viewers are coming from Asia, with China and Vietnam leading the way. The United States continues to be a strong audience, and across Europe, Germany has become the largest source of visitors.
I have no idea what resonates with everyone. Maybe it's the movie reviews, the health journey, the recovery stories, the Nextdoor commentary, the random observations about life, or just the collection of what I affectionately call Internet Garbage.
Whatever the reason, I'm incredibly grateful.
Over the last 30 days, the site has received more than 800 unique visitors, over 1,000 page views, and more than 800 visits overall. I'm still learning what all these analytics mean, but every number represents a real person who took time out of their day to stop by my little corner of the internet.
That's pretty amazing to me.
If you've read a post, watched a video, or listened to a podcast episode, thank you. Your support means more than you probably realize.
I'd also love to hear from you. Tell me what you enjoy, what you'd like to see more of, or what I could do better. This website is a hobby, but like any hobby, I want to keep improving and evolving.
And if you enjoy the content, please share it with someone else. Don't gatekeep the Internet Garbage—spread it around!
Thanks again for stopping by, and I look forward to bringing you even more Internet Garbage in the weeks and months ahead.
See you on the website!

Cortisol, Spirituality, Stress & Healing | Down A Hole Podcast – Season 1 Episode 7
How much of our daily stress is affecting our bodies, our thinking, and even our ability to connect with other people?
In Season 1, Episode 7 of Down A Hole, Fish and I dive into a conversation about cortisol, stress, spirituality, emotional regulation, meditation, mindfulness, and the challenges of navigating an increasingly stressful world.
From the science behind stress hormones to practical discussions about breathing, awareness, recovery, and personal growth, this episode explores how our minds and bodies respond to pressure—and what we can do about it.

Thank you to everyone around the world who visits, watches, reads, listens, and supports the content on NielFlamm.com. The international traffic, comments, shares, and engagement genuinely mean a lot.
One Week. Flu Tests, Horror Movies, Nextdoor Rants, Podcasts, Travel & Controlled Chaos.
As promised, I send a weekly update email — mostly so I don’t mysteriously end up living permanently in your spam or junk folder.
This week accidentally turned into a full-time content production experiment fueled by caffeine, questionable sleep decisions, movie theaters, satire, travel energy, and whatever generic Theraflu was still left on the shelf.
From May 16 through May 23, the content machine at NielFlamm.com was working overtime.
🎬 MOVIE REVIEWS & VLOGS
The movie reviews and entertainment commentary kept rolling this week with new reviews, scripts, blog posts, teaser campaigns, and promotional content focused on:
• Passenger
• Obsession
• Mortal Kombat II
• Dolly
• Hoppers
• Forbidden Fruits
• Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die
The vlogs and review content also featured newly created music and soundtrack experiments developed with creative AI and audio production tools, helping to add more atmosphere, suspense, and personality to the videos.
🥃 BACARDI 151 VLOG
One of the more unexpectedly entertaining pieces of content this week centered around Bacardi 151 nostalgia, storytelling, and the kind of “this probably wasn’t a good idea” memories that somehow become funnier with time.
The vlog blended humor, reflection, and chaotic energy in a way that perfectly fit the ongoing “what exactly is this channel anymore?” evolution happening across the site.
🎙 PODCAST CONTENT
Season 1 Episode 6 of the Down A Hole podcast received new promotional blog posts and multilingual marketing support, including:
• Chinese
• Japanese
• Vietnamese
• Arabic
• Tagalog
The episode explored mortality, gratitude, perspective, and life reflection — mixed in with the usual conversational unpredictability.
🤒 HEALTH & REAL LIFE
Not every update was entertainment.
I also documented the sudden onset of flu symptoms, the “uh oh” chills, the double nose-swab experience at urgent care, and the glamorous reality of surviving on fluids and generic Theraflu while still creating content.
Spoiler alert:
It wasn’t COVID.
It was still annoying.
🏘 NEXTDOOR COMMENTARY & CORPORATE SATIRE
The ongoing analysis and commentary surrounding Nextdoor continued heavily throughout the week.
Topics included:
• Communication silence across corporate platforms
• Public engagement concerns
• Moderation transparency
• Executive accountability
• Investor frustrations
• Questions about communications spending
• Dallas expansion commentary
• Sales conference observations
• LinkedIn engagement contradictions
• Platform trust and verification messaging
And yes…
More Nirav Tolia commentary happened.
Probably more than the legal department prefers.
The blog and several short videos also began expanding to include multilingual content support, with translations in Simplified Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese — with more languages still to come.
If you missed any of it, now’s the time to catch up.
