Simply put, we're two boys standing in front of an audience helping them with sex and dating advice by finding questions either roaming the internet or sent in by our wonderful listeners. And I think this week, while we're looking forward to a new year,

we're gonna look back at this year. It's a little fuck buddies year in review, 2024 for me and you. I realized that I think this is the first time we've done this on the main feed. I think this is usually our December Patreon content. Well shit, okay, call off, call off, cut it. Which is- Let's give them a taste.

Yeah, I think it's exciting. I think we did a different thing on patreon this year We we looked at like Hey, hey, we're gonna talk about that in a second. Okay, talk about that and say you shut your mouth All right, you ready? Sure. We're starting with our look back at our year. Dang. Do you have anything to say about your conduct this year? I mean first of all shut up again Cheers Cheers this year. Um, I mean, first of all, shut up again. Cheers. Cheers. Um, I realized when I was getting my whiskey, I was like, I kind of want ice. I would like this to be extra refreshing.

And I realized that it will be like an audio nightmare, but I was like, this is for me. This is this episode is for us. That's your problem now. Yeah. Um, and I was like, if someone doesn't want to hear the jingle jangles of my ice cubes and a drink This week they can go fuck themselves. Yeah, we're working. It's it's the 26th the day after Christmas I've been working all day, and we just came home and decided to do more work So yeah, we gotta stop complaining on our podcast we gotta How do you find your year? How do you think anything this year went?

What sets in our sets or just like not globally, not the podcast, because as a whole, it was pretty bad. The podcast, I said no more complaining. We had a great year, I think. We we did our first international show, a show outside of the the borders of Canada. Also, just our first show outside. True. Yeah.

Outdoors. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. Um, that was, that was a blast. I think, uh, the Camp Halcyon show was a huge highlight for me. Um, it was a really, really great time. We met some incredible people.

Um, I think that was- Made a lot of friends, had a blast. Yeah. It was wonderful. I would love to do more. So if you're listening to this and you own a cool company that does cool things and want cool boys to do cool podcasts, hit us up.

Are you like the student president of a school that like organizes like things for Frosh Week or whatever? I think our show is a great fit for that kind of stuff. Like I think I would like to do some on-campus stuff. Yeah. Are you just for laughs? Have us on. Have us on on have us on coward we laugh are you scared of our name you can use us just for laughs we don't mind yeah your little dirty laugh sluts for a night we'll be your little laugh cooks yeah um yeah for real it was a lot of

fun how many live shows do we do this here day off the top your head do you know cuz I counted them so this's unfair I'm throwing you. Seven? Under the spotlight, 10, nine. We did nine. Nine, wow. Because we took four months off, right? And then we did one extra in the States.

Hell yeah, okay. So that's a cool thing that we did in review. We also did our anniversary show with 30 Going On 13, which was a lot of fun. That was a cool thing that we did in review. We also did our anniversary show with 30 going on 13. Yes. Which was a lot of fun. That was crazy that that happened this year. It feels like it happened a year or two ago. I was talking to my partner about that recently.

I feel like this year specifically just was twice the length of a normal year. Yeah. Like two or three additional years packed into it. Well, when it was my birthday, I was like, Oh, I'm turning a year like the next year. And I was like, wait, no, I'm turning this age. And I thought I was already there. So I just went back a year mentally, which is great. I thought I was older.

COVID fucked me up when it came to my birthday, because every time, every time we locked down, it was my birthday. So there was like two birthdays that I didn't really- Dane had four lot four birthdays in that one year yeah celebrate so it's just like those birthdays don't exist so I I feel old so I think I'm older but then I'm like I feel like I've missed those two birthdays so then I end up just kind of like in between where I think I am I honestly don't know how old I am you know someone did ask me and I did like, I did go like, uh,

I'm like, it looked like I was lying or something because like I couldn't answer like off, but I don't think I think it's weirder if you can. It's sort of like by the time I hit, I would say probably 21, because that's kind of like the last one age kind of stops mattering. Yeah, right. It's like now I can drink in the States. For certain things. That's it. And after that, it's like, it doesn't really matter. I have all the same sort of abilities and privileges of age going forward.

Yeah, I think there's always been a time where I had to like really think and be like, how old am I? Like, what age am I? The only other time I cared was 25 because that was my champagne birthday. That's fair. So we did 10 shows, one abroad.

We did a guest show with 30 Going on 13 that was really wonderful. We also had Trevor on. Trevor Campbell. He was phenomenal. Trevor Campbell. And he is... What a crazy different vibe of show. Because I don't know if you we I don't think we released

the 30 going on 13 show did we definitely did did we that's unhinged like the show we did with them was one of the wildest experiences where I believe there is a point in time where I do have to like stop what the fuck are you guys talking about I'm just doing the mime. I did feel like that almost the entire time. And I want to make it clear, I'm not being shady. It was great. I had a blast. It was a wonderful bewilderment.

It was like watching sort of like two ethereal creatures unravel before me. And it was an incredible, like, great experience. Oh yeah, and everyone who was there had such a great time as well. Yeah, but then you go, we jump over to Trevor Campbell, who was like sort of a very composed, very, you know, they came with an energy of being like, I'm a guest on a show and we're going to have a great time.

And they held it together in a much different way than our darling, beautiful, wonderful pod vibes. Yeah, different vibes, but both incredible, incredible episodes. Great shows. And a lot of fun for us personally. Great guests. Now, talking about shows, because I'm just kind of jumping around our little thing. I only have the stats for the best of the last six months because that's how our podcast hosts do be like.

Our Spotify rep did say that our Therapy Jeff episode was the best of the year. Yeah. Most listened. I get it. That was great. Also that happened this year. Wow. It feels like this time last January we were talking about that like it feels like it wasn't that long ago Or it does feel long. I don't know. It's weird. I mean what you're saying is correct this time last year We were talking about it. No, but it feels like It feels like it wasn't that far away, but it also feels so long away Oh, you know it feels weird. It feels like that happened years ago. That feels like that was our first episode We ever recorded so in the last six months. what is our top episode, do you think?

I bet it's something to do... I bet it's name-based. I bet it is like based... It's big because of the name. It sucks because I'd have to look at like a list of names. I'm going to say, I think there was one called So Much Precum, which that or like maybe one about like really good puss or something like that. Okay, okay, depending. Cause we're both in the podcast fugue state a lot. So the Precum isn't even in the top 10.

I don't know if it's even in this half of the year because it's not on this list and I didn't check check the rest the top is our Camp Halcyon show. Oh, yeah. Yeah guess so August 5th The second is take the puss to Mouth Town. Yeah Yeah, if that's what you were talking about, I don't know Maybe I don't know. I think we also had a good puss that was a good soup reference. Yeah. And then the third highest is the Trevor Campbell show with dry Kongs. Hell yeah. Fuck yeah. Yeah. So that's pretty good. Our live shows always actually do trend pretty high.

Yeah. Which is funny because typically people hate live shows. I think that's a testament to one, the audience, the energy, us, and especially you for making sure it sounds good. Yeah, I mean when all the tech stuff works, it's fine. Unlike the last one we did where it was just like, fuck your first episode. Yeah, yeah, we've only lost two. Or I guess we lost one and one, we just all our shit We forgot all our shit. I forgot the camera and your like cable committed. Oh, yes Yeah, the the hidden episode that the test cam blew up. Yeah. Yeah, correct. I Think oh, yeah, so also this year we did some new stuff with the patrons

We did our how-to series did the house so we have a bunch of like really like dedicated episodes about like breakups, going out, picking people up, and online dating. So those are really cool because it's like a little change of pace. It's not just us doing a slightly more unhinged version of the show. We're doing like kind of like specific like tactical, surgical strikes on topics. Yeah, because we, there's a lot, like we've got what, like 300, I think it's three 24 or three 25, I think it's like three 27. Yeah. Um, so it's like, there's a lot of information to sift through and if you're looking for a very specific thing, it can be difficult to, to find.

Uh, so yeah, we figured it would be a good idea to, to get in there and, and give you a consolidated place for a very specific topic because we're so one of the most common questions I get it's like what topic do you talk? But like what's the topic of that episode? I'm like it's an advice show like it doesn't have a topic sometimes rarely There's like that magical moment where the two questions for the questions that we both brought Sort of fit you start vaguely in the same like theme which I always find weird when it happens yeah but it's cool also think the show will be a little less fun if we just did topics every week yeah because I think there's there's finite topics right like I don't know like unless we got like really granular and just be

like this is the episode about clits this is the episode about labia this is the end it's like if a cool question that had a labia and it came up we'd have to just bail on it yeah and also we wouldn't be able to take audience questions because if it didn't fit why don't we read it out and if we're gonna do half the fucking episode reading out random questions anyway we may as well just have fun with it yep so I think like there is a downside where if someone specifically wants something it's a little harder to, but the how-to series is going towards fixing that. So if you're undergoing a breakup, you know where to go.

You know how to get like some advice, some commiseration, a little soothing, some direction. We got you. We also did a brand new thing, which was our Christmas movie review, which you're now allowed to talk about. We did that. We, we jumped through. We, through we we kind of I think we we did a lot more Recent ones we talked about Merry Gentlemen. We talked about hot frosty We did talk about love actually for a bit a little bit Not as much as it deserves. Yeah. Yeah, it's just it was a fun thing

We wanted to do we we do make a lot of pop culture references here but we rarely like deep dive into it. And we rarely like look at the, you know, not to step on Liv and Maddie Stowes, but like looking at the sort of the popular zeitgeist of like romantic comedies and how they're viewed through the lens of like a critical eye when it comes to modern dating and sex. Because hey, a lot of them are bad. Hey, I would say almost all of them. I will say, you know what? I watched just a quick, I watched the Jonathan Taylor Thomas, I'll Be Home for Christmas.

And I was shocked at how well that movie held up in terms of Jessica Beal's character kind of taking no shit from all the men in that movie. Like there's like at one point in time, she has to like hitch a ride with the like sort of like dirtbag, douchebag guy who's trying to steal her away from JTT. And she straight up is like I will fucking hit you in the throat if you make a racist joke, a homophobic joke, a misogynistic joke. And I was like those are pretty impressive words to come out of the 90s. You know what I mean? Like yeah for sure. Especially if it's not played off as like this girl. Yeah, no, she's like, again, maybe this is just watching it like now. But I was like, fuck yeah, Jessica Bielgat.

Like, she, she holds her ground like as as good as any sort of like teenage romantic comedy love interest I've ever seen, especially from the 90s. I just watched a Hallmark movie the other day that was like really refreshing, like no one was shit and they were all just kind of like normal. And like it wasn't like I'm ditching my incredible high paying job because we met. It was like, oh, I did get a promotion, but I can actually like work it with my boss and now we can actually have relationship. They were like, oh, great.

Like it was weird. I kept waiting for it to go south and it never really did It was like there's a new very normal and they were nice to each other Yeah, there's a new trend of movies where it's just like there's no conflict. This is just a story There is there isn't a single bitch I would love to know is that an intentional thing because there's like a rise in like cozy sci-fi and fantasy right now And it's a lot of people think it's kind of in response to like how shit everything is. Yeah. It's like people don't want to be like, oh cool, I'm reading some like Grimdark was all their age,

like a couple of years ago, back when things were slightly better. And then COVID hit and all this fucking other bullshit. And it's like, okay, now we're seeing more and more and more cozy. I just think it's interesting. Maybe it's due with that. Now, I think we're going to get onto, is there anything else you want to talk about podcast wise for the year? I don't think so. I want to say thanks to everybody. Yes.

We put in a lot of work and everyone who came to the show, everyone who supported us, whether it be listening, reviewing, telling a friend, posting about us, especially the Patreon, because we have bills for hosting and equipment and websites and everything. So we really appreciate that. So if you're on the fence about joining, please do. And if you wanna hear something in particular from the Patreon, let us know.

We're down. Like if it's something we will have fun doing, and if it's me and Dane, we're gonna have fun doing it probably anyway. And it's something you wanna hear and we're down like yeah, if it's something we will have fun doing and if it's me and Dane We're gonna have fun doing it probably anyway And it's something you want to hear and we can help you with if I can win win win and I think it's time for Tinder wrapped this year. Okay. Are you ready? Yeah. Okay, so There were some interesting things because they always present their like year wrapped and it's like, you know, we we know the emojis But there's always just random shit and I'm like one why why did you think this is an important thing to collate and two?

Let's see how much of them Dane can guess so I'm just gonna go through the list We'll talk about them historically of them is very rarely am I good at well the the emojis It's and it's basically just become a display of how old we are Yeah, that's the order. There's usually an emoji where I'm just like What the fuck does that mean? like we we've started uploading things to to YouTube shorts and every now and then someone will like use an emoji as Like a response or like a comment. I'm like the fuck does that mean? I had to like Google and I have to like I've nine times out of ten

I don't know what the emoji is. So I have to kind of be like gray circle. Like, God, I'm fucking old. This sucks. Yeah. So hey, what's your guess for top emoji of the year? I mean, I feel like you got to give me a hint. I don't know where to start. I will. Yeah, just tell me, what do you think?

The like the top of all years and we'll just work from there. Just if anything comes to mind, because like me giving you a hint would help you get it. But I just want to know what you think it is. I think I think it's going to be like the I think it's going to be a squirty emoji. OK, sure. That's like you're fucking 12 years off, man. Come on. Well, OK, I'm going to tell you this is I'm thinking Hawk 2. Right. That right a very important Cultural phenomena that happened and I'm thinking we say it's important. Well, it's it happened

It did take over the world for a bit. Yeah, and then robbed it. Yeah. Hell yeah Yeah, I don't know how you're gonna get this one, but I will Read the description. Okay young singles leaned into the playful charm with a touch of mystery of being coquette, if you even care. Coquette? Coquettish, like, ooh. Like the, maybe like the emoji with like the whispering, like the shh. No, it's a pink bow. Sure. A lot of this, I wonder, is it like global?

I know, it says US, never mind. See, that's the thing that always gets me, like I I'm always like oh, maybe there's like a thing in Japan Yeah, because the population is so large that you know We don't have this bow like maybe bow means something in another language that translates into it But if it is us then I it's apparently US UK Canada and Australia So now but I will say- It's only 4,000 people though. What if they have 4,000 fucking weirdos? Like the surveys of 4,000 people?

Yeah, that doesn't seem like a lot. No, especially not between like- Four fucking countries? Yeah, and like fairly large countries. Like that's like double my high school. Like that's a pretty small fucking like second- Thousands more than my high school. Like that's a pretty small fucking like second. It's thousands more than my high school. Right?

Okay, can you, I don't think you're gonna guess any of these five. Probably not, I don't think I ever have. Throw me out two more. I think reading the description is a good, yeah. Give me the description and I'll try to. So blank emoji came up in bios reflecting a realistic take on dating. This this year people aren't afraid to acknowledge

The highs and the occasional lows and then I'll say because let's face it dating isn't always sunny It's a cloudy thunderstorm emoji. It is the black cloud emoji Interesting who knew that existed knew This one okay people looking for adventure loving matches whether it's a hike or an overseas trip. Daters are blank and ready. The blank isn't the word but it's too obvious. Like the suitcase emoji. It's a backpack emoji. I'll give it to you. I'll give you that one. Open and honest this emoji grew popular among those seeking openness and transparency and no games vibe radiates from these profiles Encouraging a genuine connection from the get-go. This is the only one that I kind of understand like the transparent person like the transparent emoji

No, no, but I do love that cuz it's great It's just a hand like the hand emoji like you're putting your hand up Like as in like swearing on the Bible kind of thing like or like raising asking a question I would imagine like asking a question. Okay, please just the hand right? So it's like I don't know if I would I would discern that Meaning from the head if so example is here for real connections and then like the hand emoji weird I do not see between those things and then the last one is late night chats and thoughtful insights gave this emoji a prime spot. It became a calling card for

those who value in wisdom deep conversations and late night chats. Is there like a like a meditation emoji? No but I feel like this one has all the clues in what I said. Okay read it again for me. I gotta figure out how I paraphrased it. Late night chats and thoughtful insights give this emoji a prime spot. It's calling card for those who value wisdom deep conversations and late chats Lateness wisdom and late night like a clock Clocks are so wise. I mean what's more wise than time an owl an owl a night owl night owl Okay, okay, these are I guess kind of boring because there's no way you guessed them Do you think you could guess the most common first names on tinder?

I'll give you one guess for the man one guess for the women you get ten points if you get either, right? Okay, give me can you give me the like starting letter because I feel like they like well I'll give you anything if you get one in the top ten Okay, Adam. No you beefed it. What about the women okay? women Sarah dude Sarah's on there fucking twice once with a h and once without a yeah, so you you were waiting for honor Yeah They're not exciting although

Is Mike one of them? Michael I guess is yeah, okay Gabriel is higher than Mike somehow. Come on. Not that exciting most attractive users star signs not that exciting fastest growing interest in 2024 I think that's One you can get your teeth into Fastest growing interest in 2024. I mean this is where I I get mad, because nine times out of ten, it's stupid bullshit. Well, I will tell you, number three is playlists, which is not an interest. That's not fucking interesting. Like, what are you doing?

Then? I mean, like one year it was like sushi or something fucking stupid. Like it was like sashimi or like something dumb. Fastest growing interest. Is this like a top 10 list? It's top five, but they're all really boring and generic. So we're gonna go with the fastest growing bio mentions instead.

These are ones that are more like juicy. Okay, these are like words that are being used. Words are being used, but like you might, you know, like sushi could be one of them, for example. Traditional. Traditional. Traditional. No. Really? Values? Nope.

Come on. OK. I'm trying to think of like. One is going to be really obvious, I think. One, when I say it to you, you're going to like. Right. Of course. I don't know if it's obvious that you think it. What's it. Political?

Political? There is blue. Which I think could be political. Blue. Blue is weird. Okay, just give me that. I'm never gonna guess these things. What's a common hobby this year that just weirdly came out of nowhere? Everyone's obsessed with. Hobby that everyone is obsessed with.

It's a very typical like Millennials fucking like we're all doing it fuck. I Blanks when this kind of things happen trivia pickleball pickleball. Okay, the ball is number one with a hundred and forty eight percent Added interest I do love the freak is number two with a hundred and eighteen Deserve is number three. Deserve people deserve shit. You know, they deserve a freak to play pickleball with. Hey, I fucking get behind that.

I don't even know what fucking pickleball is. It's like weird tennis. OK, yeah, it's just bad, weird tennis. Bad, weird tennis. All right. Yeah, cool. It's just a new twist on tennis that everybody started doing for some reason all right when I hear pickleball I think of whiffle ball which is I think it's kind of similar is it whiffle ball is a little ball No, I'm thinking tether ball. I'm thinking the thing we the the ball on the string not that it's not that it's Mac

Oh, that's what I was like the fuck's going on all right top TV, this one. That's got some gristle for you. Um, fucking, the restaurant one. Uh, the, Vanderpump Rules. Oh, I thought you were going somewhere else. Nope. The bear? Yes, number two is the bear. Really, Vanderpump Rules isn't on there.

No, is that current right now though? Vanderpump Rules, I believe, year was the year of of Scandival Which is it was a it was a huge thing and I only know this because my partner has recently got in or got into Vanderpump rules and I caught a glimpse of this but it was one of the Like main cast members cheated on his like wife or girlfriend And it was a huge thing that they literally picked up filming while they were like on break to film this happening in like real time of like this dude's life collapsing and like everyone.

And then it became a whole thing of like people who are standing by him, like lost a bunch of shit, like he's a musician and like, it like, the whole thing happened and him, like, lost a bunch of shit, like, he's a musician, like, the whole thing happened. And it became like, full news coverage of it. So I'm surprised that, I mean, they're all at the jobs now, the show's canceled, or I think they're restarting with a whole new cast because all of them are so fucked. These guys are two big scumbags.

Yeah, like, it just got so bad for so many of them. One of them is apparently a confirmed but unconfirmed, like abusive partner. And they're like, I don't want to be an asshole, but they all seem like scumbags. So I'm not exactly surprised. No, I mean, this is things like I watch it and like I hear people talk about it. And even my partner will talk about it at times too. And I'm just like, none of these people sound like I, like, I'm not heartbroken

that they don't have a platform anymore. And like none of them, particularly. A lot of people do idolize them, which is well. So when I was in Vegas, we went to the, uh, one of the Vanderpump restaurants. Um, and you can tell that literally everybody working there is treating it like an audition. Like everyone is in sort of like, um, no, I, I no shade to this person. They looked incredible, but our host who sat us had like this big, like, you

know, oversized jacket on their shoulders and like was, was, was ready to go. Uh, I don't think I've ever seen someone so put together at a restaurant in my life. I want you to get a job here and just like have the producers be fascinated with this like surly guy who just wants to do his job and not be on camera because that would 1000% be who they fixate on for the entire series. It would just be like some mad shit and then they could to you and you'd be like Fucking run your drinks. Yeah, get some what do you mean espresso martini extra creamy? What do you want? What do you? Yeah What do you know the show one day?

Apparently, it's the top show. I've never heard of I've heard of one week Which is a Joshua Jackson movie from like the 2000s Yeah, love islands there there. Love is blind. The circle too hot to handle. The Golden Bachelor, which honestly is so fucking funny. If you haven't seen the show, it's super old. Bachelors is like I've only seen clips and the show probably. Maybe it's great. I don't know.

It's so fucking funny because like at the start, when they're like introducing to the mansion, there's just all these like real like dad dads who are like, Oh, look at the molding on the fire. Play all the ground. They're all like, Ooh, they're like checking the pipes and they're like, no, you got to. And they're like, not interested in the woman at all. And then they're like too old to get in bunk beds. It's so good. Why would they put them in bunk beds?

Because they're evil. Because it this reality TV show. Cruel. OK, I think we'll probably end with this one because the rest are kind of weird. We might run through the other ones, but what's the top movie, Dane? Now, this one got me. This one, I think, is wild and upsetting movie. It's got to be Sonic 3. I do. Why would I be upset by that? Because you haven't seen any of them.

It's true. I started watching the first one. Uh, Sonic isn't even on there, so I don't know what that says about the- Yeah, obviously not correct. Oh, if you still wrong, 4,000 people. Uh, top movie. Um... Trying to think what came out this year. If you get this, I would be so horrified for you.

I'm pref- Long Legs? Uh, no, it's not Long Legs. Did that come out this year? I don't know, I don't- It did, I think. I think it came out this year. I'm afraid with long legs. Uh, no, it's not long legs that come out this year I don't know. I think I think you came out this year. I don't know hit me Joker to sorry Joker do or Joker to follow you do yeah, okay Why that's why is that the most popular is that what people are talking like? What is them? I I still I don't understand how they get this information like I assume it's in In bio. Yeah, I don't know like who's putting in their bio

Like is this love Joker to I am please I'm looking for my Harley Quinn Specifically the one that is played by Lady Gaga in like critically acclaimed Super popular and superbed, everyone hates movie. Speaking of this, I think I've talked about this already before about Craven. Did you find his stats? Have you seen the clip of, it's like, it's a real clip as far as I know of someone coming in and telling the guy who plays the rhino, like, oh, he killed all the men. He killed killed your boys.

And it's this guy again, doesn't he's not a beefy guy. He's just a little skinny guy. Presumably why he turns into the Rhino. And he literally makes a noise that I can only like describe as frustrated, mentally ill child on like Xbox Live like it like almost like a full like close-mouth screech yes it is absolutely one of the craziest things that I could ever imagine a director sitting there filming this this happens this is it cut print baby we got it got it in one let's wrap it up moving on so we're doing a red one craven watch party

Right. Oh, please. Please which one first craven is gotta be craving Yeah, yeah Joker. Oh, sorry. No, I I will talk about craving forever I mean Joker fully a duh is number one wicked number two. Sure challengers number three. I get it It's it's sexy at least, right? Challengers at least make sense, right? Like you can make a, you can, and wicked, you know, I understand. Great. It's a cultural phenomenon. Also like wicked one, it's great too. It's like you kind of get to show you're not toxically masculine, right? If you're down with a musical with two, like, you know, female leads and Ariana Grande and blah, blah, blah.

It's a pretty good green flag, I think. If men are talking about it. We don't know the stats. What I'm saying, if it's this popular, no pun intended, Dune to Inside Out 2 Twisters is higher than Deadpool and Wolverine. Think about that. I just don't know who's writing about Twister.

Hey, just think about that. I don't want to. Other than that we got top communication styles, boring, top sports. Pickleball is nine, tennis is one, weird. Top sports teams, neither one of us could give a shit about that. Nope. Top beauty and wellness trends is funny because the first one is mental health and

that's great. But number nine is clean girl. Clean girl. What does that mean? Yeah. I mean, I feel like at this point in time, we're so old and so removed from the dating like sphere that we couldn't even begin to guess what any of this means. Top social causes.

Number one is war. I mean- that's weird. Do they support it? Yeah, I assume that's a that's a Middle East conflict. Yeah, no correlation. I will say skydiving is number eight in top date activities. I hate I'm just going to go ahead and say not a single person has gone skydiving

ever on a date. No, like I mean, at least not first date. Yes. Second date, third date. Right. And if you have cool, you're rich. Well done. Yeah. That shouldn't be on the list. That doesn't count. No, then that's kind of what I feel about, like all of these things where it's like, I feel like none of these things. Like, I don't think this is accurate information whatsoever.

Probably not. But, you know, who am I to argue with Tinder? Yeah, I will say some final things are, do you know the term loud looking? Mm-mm. It's that singles this year are ditching the vague and getting vocal and specific about their needs and desires confidently and unapologetically, which is good. Sounds good. Yeah, I'm down. But nearly 40% of singles say astrology love predictions

will likely shape their dating choices in 2025. And Virgos, Geminis, Leos, Scorpios, and Sagittariuses received the most likes on Tinder in 2024. That me, baby. You're also Sagittari too, yeah. Oh, yeah, baby. Yeah, obviously. Just hot boys. Obviously.

We get it. And that's pretty much it. That's all I got for Tinder. Yeah. Cool. So as Nile dove into the online dating world, I dive into the online- The fapping world.

Fapping world. The wild world of pornography, specifically Pornhub. And now there are some things in here that I don't think should be surprising. Read aloud? Well, there's a lot of things we do on the show that shouldn't be done out loud. Most of it.

There are two social media trends, specifically TikTok, that have influenced the porn watching. Huh, okay. One I will say is a phrase. Hawk2Wa? Yes, Hawk2Wa's up there. That has contributed to 10 million searches for Hawk2Wa. And has seen a rise in spit on dick

at a 233% increase of searches spitting and sloppy blowjob about 30% increase. But like, I love the way like, I would be hard pressed to find a blowjob that doesn't have that. It's especially in porn. Like that is a, that is sorry. That's why I'm, we're talking about porn. That's what I mean.

It's like not, it's not like you'd have to search that out, but evidently people into it. Yeah. Could they have gotten sloppier? The thing I've found when watching or reading these over the years is I think a lot of people approach porn in a far more fantastical way than I do, right?

I go to porn because I'm horny and want to make myself cum. I don't watch porn in order to facilitate a fantasy that I have and have an out-of-body experience and try to live... What's the word I'm looking for? Vicariously true? Yeah. I don't really look for things when I go to porn. what's the word I'm looking for? Vicariously true. Yeah. I don't really look for things when I go to porn.

Right, that's what I'm saying. The first couple videos you see, you open a couple tabs of things that might interest you. Maybe you go a page or two deep. Exactly. I don't go on and be like, I work with a woman who's redhead and about five about five sit like I don't try to find like a specific Redhead not into me. I'm kind of weird every time we work together Yeah, right sand it's but it seems like for a lot of people who do can you know consume porn? Especially sort of like the general swath. It seems like that is what porn is used for, which is interesting

to me. I thought you were saying the general swamp. I was like, yeah, that's a good way to describe the public. Once I get into like the top searches per state, we'll start talking about swamps. Yeah. Okay. So the other one is a phrase. What I say is a phrase, a very famous phrase that was used all over TikTok.

It's very strange. It's a very strange thing to, to sort of like translate from this to porn. Okay. I have no idea. How to, what was the phrase for me? This is demure and mindful. I should have guessed, even though porn is not what I think of. So like who looks at this bullshit trend and then goes yes yeah porn of

this is what I'm saying there's there's like a thing of like people looking to so demure searches rose 133% mindful pleasure up a hundred and twelve percent mindful jerk-off instruction 87% and mindful sex 72% we also saw rises in modesty traditional sex traditional clothes and modest, modest milf all rose in. And then we also saw things of simple sex, authentic sex, real, authentic, authentic couple, ethical porn and respectful sex all shot up. Okay.

With ethical porn and respectful sex being the highest, ethical porn went up 92%. That's good. Which is- I would love to know, is that related to the mindfulness? Probably not. Yeah, I don't know.

It's weird that it's grouped up together, but it's interesting to see that like, there is a growing trend of people being like, I don't want, and they talk about it later, of the fact that creators are now sort of in power and in charge of creating their own content. It's not studios being like, this is what men want, this is what people want.

We're gonna just churn you out, make content based on what's always worked. Now that women specifically are in charge of like their only fans profiles and their Pornhub profiles, they're making content that they want to make. And it's very obvious that this is content that other people want to watch. Yeah. Which is an interesting, it's a good shift, you know? Yeah.

There's other things that kind of popped up. There's I don't think you'll guess these things, but obviously Hentai still top four years in a row. Hentai top of the game. I was going to start guessing because there's always like specific Hentai to a cultural thing. Right. And I feel like Arcane was a huge animated show that might come up later in like the video game section.

OK, OK. But in terms of Hentai, it's just realistic animated, gay animated, and rule 34 animated. Sure. So, no change there. Yep. Do you remember there was a big sporting event that happened that influenced? Pickleball champions. Nope. Somebody say the biggest sporting event that happens globally. Olympics. That's correct.

Going for the gold, the Olympics. We saw sex Olympics, new Olympics, athlete, gymnastics, swimmer and volleyball all popped off and then you know, you're like, not only do you get to be the peak of your fucking like sporting world, but you also just make the people horny Good job super horny during the games Paris France and French were the the top searches in terms of country language and city and finally we have a Another show phenomenon. I don't know if you watch it

I certainly didn't because it's not my thing but the secret lives of Mormon wives I think is is that the name of the the show? Okay. Yeah, I think so No, I haven't watched it That was a yes so if you're unfamiliar to television show but a group of Mormon influence who got caught in the sex scandal that made international headlines and Because of it we saw a huge spike in, that's where the trad wife stuff all came up. You know, modest wife, cuckold wife, wife swap.

But then we also saw a rise in Mormon wife, Mormon sex, Mormon missionary, and Mormon threesome. So that was the thing. The poor like porn actors coming into work and being like, what are we doing today? You're Mormons. God damn it.

Yeah, you're the super hot Mormons. Good luck. Yeah, so the, once again, Hentai took the top searched spot four years in a row. Not much has changed. I feel like these are all kind of mainstays. MILF, Pinay, Lesbian Anal, holding the top five as usual. I don't think it's important to talk about porn stars,

although they really sort of like big upped the top porn star with a nice little thing. Now, I do say under amateur models, within the top like 10, is a channel called NoLube and a channel called PornForce. PornForce? Which don't really sound like amateur models, but I guess they are. NoLube sounds bad, PornForce sounds awesome. Are they going to be in Marvel Rivals next year?

PornForce sounds like something Trump would put together on a government. Yeah, it's it's to stop people releasing the videos of what he did in Russia. So it's it's interesting once we get into the like the the searches of of per state. Yeah. So a lot of people are into themselves, which is one of the things Nevada searching for Vegas, Arizona searching for Navajo, New York searching for Turkish, which apparently has the second largest number of Turkish residents in the US,

and New Jersey was searching for Iranian, which also has a large Iranian population. Who knew? Not me. California, sneaking in there, friend's mom, big. That was a big Stacy mom population. Yeah pop real 90s classic come on, California Now Wisconsin switch things up last year swingers this year P

Wisconsin you little freaks Oregon also almost 180 Last year nudist this year this year clothing fuck well What is the most clothes you can be jab? No think a little a little more Covered fully covered no visible human body part furry. Yep. Okay. All right when when complete opposite from Missouri however When, when complete opposite from Missouri, however, Missouri's got something going on. And I think we should talk to them about it because Missouri's, uh, as part of states in their, in their breakdown, Missouri couldn't get enough grandma. So I don't know if there's an aging population in Missouri.

Missouri's holding it down for our golden queens and we love it. Well, here's why. Oh, maybe it's not the population that's getting older. Maybe the older population is getting hotter. So the young folk are out and about and they're like, God damn. What if Missouri has really invested in their retiree yoga classes or whatever, right? Yeah. What if they're just palatting it up? They've got a reformer class going that's government mandated or mildred just walking around it or fucking more like milford gilford What if your friend's mom what if your friends really old and their mom's a granny yeah Those are the sort of like the the funny things in it Connecticut super into queefing.

Damn, Connecticut. And Maine, can't get enough Harry Bush. Cool, I wanna know what Toronto's into. It would be, I would love like a Canada breakdown. Yeah. Because I promise you that the Prairies would be incredibly racist. Mad shit. So bad.

Yeah, that's what they let, that's why they can't release the Canada ones. Yeah, I'm not gonna bother breaking down the time spent. That's not all that interesting the When do you think of the the horniest time of the year was? This was the peak time when the most of our times were jerking off No, I would never get this. This is just like Thanksgiving. No June 12th, I mean that's that's closer. It's August 27th at 10 p.m.

Pornhub saw its its spike in why I Don't know Maybe a long weekend. Is that a long weekend for people? What day of the week was that? Oh no. What? I can't read that what just comes up first. Okay.

Well, it's pretty bad. That's not great. If I look, I'll read it. You can cut it if you want. When I read the like the first response to August 27th, USA 2024 is armed conflicts and attacks in the Israel Hamas war, Israel accursions in West Bank. Yeah I don't think that's... I hope that's not it. I don't think that's getting people hot. Just shitty people. Yeah. What do you think America's most... Oh. No, Canada. Fuck. It's boring. It's real boring.

Think the most boring. That's missionary. No, think a little. Doggy. Think like what like 14 year old boys would get on and search for. Anal. Big tits, anal. That's actually Russia Russia cannot It's very funny because Russia is like the biggest country So there is just a huge country that just says anal It's lesbian. Okay. Hey, we're holding it down. What is Ireland? Do you have Ireland there Ireland? Let me Know it's it's too small to god. Damn it that whole sort of like section of the world just says French Okay So I guess maybe the the proximity to France a lot of that that area of the world was just

They're just really into the Olympics apparently yeah Let me swap through I don't think there's anything else to to too terribly exciting Puppy girl taking it home for most viewed trans performers Okay, I thought that was gonna be a search and I was like what does that mean and do I want to know? Women loving the scissoring cool Boom oh, I just fucked up. Oh Here's the thing that interested me. Generational tastes, they break down sort of what Gen Z,

Gen Y, Gen X, and Boomers are looking at. Okay. Gen Z, which is our young generation, they're doing some weird shit because Gen Z isn't looking at porn on Pornhub Okay, they're watching like pirated movies on there kind of Gen Z is going on there to watch gaming streams Music safe for work and Podcasts we start putting our fucking podcast on? Maybe? We definitely should because also our titles are gonna get searches.

Take them out to Pustown? Yeah. We finally found our place where they're not gonna fucking restrict us. I didn't realize that was a thing that you could do, but perhaps we've tapped into a market that we didn't know about. I'm genuine, let's do this. Yeah. Other Gen G searches included vertical video.

Fucking nerds, man. Gen Y was female, male, male, tattooed women, parody, popular with women, romantic, R, sweet millennials, compilations. We just needed- Sweet millennials? We needed it all, role play, feet, blonde, fisting, Ebony threesome Boomers looking at strap-on gangbang double penetration handjob BBW vintage looking for the glory days

And that's I think that's the end of the interesting stats the rest is Browser and stuff thankfully it doesn't look like anyone's using their switch for porn anymore, which is good. That's so upsetting. We've lost a cultural touchstone. Yeah And to answer your question Harley Quinn still top on the list No, no, I guess folia. Duh, right? Yeah, no no jinx or anything up here. Really? Yeah, I would have thought like ledges because I tried to think, League of Legends, okay. Wait, isn't that Arcane? It's way down. So the things that beat League of Legends are Fortnite, Genshin Impact, Pokemon, Overwatch, Minecraft, Resident Evil, and then League of Legends. Correct me if I'm wrong, no Resident Evil came out this year. A remake might have.

God damn. Also, Minecraft? Minecraft is crazy That's I'm gonna look up in Gen Xers or just look up Minecraft porn after this because I have to yeah I have to know what it is. What's about? I'm trying to see if League of Legends Jinx is like way down there. She's like towards the bottom. Okay, where's my boy Sonic? Sonic is Sonic on the list Let me just take a look or because the new movie is a shadow Sonic is there He's he's way he's he's about sort of like teeth top ten for sure

We're weird I mean humans not us we also are but yeah That's it that's. That's our reviews. Thank you very much for listening, I think. Well, you know what? It's been a great year, and I think it is going to be an even better year next year. If you'd like to help us have an even better year. For us, hopefully. Probably not in general.

I don't know if that's the energy I want to bring, but... I'm always going to be hopeful that it'll get better get better It's true because hope isn't based on realism necessarily No, I hope it'll be better somehow for all of us in general I think we can all do wonderful things if we get together as people and Maybe next year if things are bad, we just come together more, you know, I think that's a great sentiment I think the the a great sentiment. I think the thing that I've learned over the past couple of years is that we as individuals,

I don't think have much of an opportunity to make massive change. Yeah. But what you can do is make the choice to make what you can better. Yeah. Your friends, your loved ones, a stranger's day. Those are the things that we have tangible ability to change. Yeah. Right. So say something nice about a friend you know who's having a hard time. You know, help a stranger with a door.

Help someone take their stroller off the bus. Help someone with groceries. Like do things for the sake of being good and without the hope of repayment. And I think that's really how we're going to survive, one, as a species and two, as individuals. Yeah. And on top of that, as a group, we can get a lot done. Yeah.

You know what I mean? When we decide to protest, when we decide to boycott things, when we decide what we support, you know what I mean? So if there are positive voices, throw your support behind them, share them, like promote them and help that kind of be more prevalent because like if hate is all we see, hate's gonna grow. If we share love, love will grow.

If we, you know, we can do a lot together. The seeds that get watered are the ones that grow. Exactly, exactly. And that's something to remember. Yeah, we love you grow. Exactly. Exactly. So, remember. Yeah. We love you guys. It's going to be a good year. Thank you for making this year great for us.

And you know how to make it even more great. And that's by sharing, telling a friend, reviewing us, listening, re-downloading every episode multiple times per day. And breaking terms of service on all streaming platforms for us yeah streaming us on Pornhub in a week when Dane puts us up I'm tempted to kind of like look and see if there is a way to like link your RSS feed let's let's check it out otherwise we'll just start recording again and doing a video and being like here it is yeah why not I always want to be on Pornhub. Yeah, I haven't actually

All right. Well, we love you. Happy New Year We love you. We love you
