Ditloid Edition

You all may know that I hate everything, but one thing I definitely do not hate is trivia. Every Tuesday I drag the boyfriend and friends to my local hole in the wall for Quizzo Trivia (It’s nationwide too!) And every week the Bonus rounds make me want to brick the host in the face. So I thought I would share some of my pain with all of you.
No one was able to solve last week’s ditloid.
The answer is 4 Faces on a Pyramid.
(I am impressed that no one cheated, or that if you did look up the answer, you didn’t ruin the fun for everybody else. Well done, squeeple!)
Today’s brain buster is also a Ditloid.
Example: Twelve hours in a day=12 H I A D, or a more Squee! oriented example would be: To me, in my opinion=TMIMO
Guess the phrase:
176 V I T L P (I T H B)
