Listen to Nocturnal on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Oh, crikey! No, I literally,

because Garrison's so mean about the UK, I literally almost got Garrison all UK themed gifts for Christmas. Oh, hell yeah. I'm going to buy them so many things when I go home. There was a teapot with the flag. It was so horrible. I didn't do it because I knew he wouldn't use it,

but it was so funny. Welcome cosplayers to turf. It could happen here, a podcast. Do you guys want to hear my Boston accent? Nope. No. Wait, are you from Boston or him? That's it.

That's my Boston. Anderson literally started growling as you did that That's how much he hates the Celtic It's a crime against humanity Everybody gets angry at my Boston accent Jesus That's Australian What are you doing? Just pick one word and say it

Boston is the Australia of the Northeast So this episode we're going to be going through our predictions for 2023. Prediction number one, Robert might not make it. Oh, no! He's spiraling. Sophie, you predict that every year, and it's barely ever true. A little piece of you dies every year.

Robert's going to get too drunk and buy a plane ticket to Boston and then get lost and never return. That would me so sad i can i can blend in i can blend in with my seamless boston accent no you'll no one will be able to understand you you'll be like in a foreign country just like trying classic boston why are you just doing Australia? It's Boston. Yeah, the home of the koala bear. It's not my fault that all accents eventually loop back to being Australian. I respect Garrison constantly trying to get back on track.

I respect that. So, yeah. What are we doing today? What are we doing, Gar? Who are we? We're trying. Well, where it could happen here, there's the same people on this one as last episode. There's Shireen, me, Garrison, James, Sophie, our producer, Mia, and bad Boston impersonator Robert Evans.

And we're talking about what we think might happen in 2023. I feel – I don't remember all of our predictions for last year, but I feel like we got most of them correct. Yeah, I think we were right about everything. Yeah. but I feel like we got most of them correct. Yeah, I think we were right about everything. Yeah. So to continue that trend,

what do we think is going to happen this year? I think Elon Musk might wind up sawed to pieces by the Saudis. There's like a solid 18% chance of that. There is a non-zero chance. Yeah. You know, okay, the thing that's actually the most sort of surprising me about that is that the soft bank guy is still alive like as as much saudi money as elon has blown through the soft bank guy like oh yeah like fucking soft bank guy

lit the gdp of a regular country on fire in saudi money like investing in the most batshit companies in the world it's amazing how bad they are with their money money by being landlords do you know how hard it is to lose money with a landlording business like it's a german guy who wrote a book about it oh so true anyways i think we'll get a really good leak from uh the british royal family doing something absolutely despicable and then addiction that's just a thing that has to happen like it's really high but high quality audio or video hopefully video and then uh and then video of what prince andrew's doing and then it'll make and then it'll make UK politics even worse than it already is.

Not possible. Yeah, that part I disagree with. But yes to horrifying leak from the British royal family. Horrifying leak. Horrifying leak, yeah. I honestly, I don't know how British politics could be worse. That's fair. That's fair.

That's fair. Keir Starmer's going to win an election and somehow make it even worse despite being notionally the left party in the United Kingdom. I got to say, somebody has to get you people on lockdown for the names. Keir Starmer, that's not a name. Wait, are you not familiar with Keir Starmer, the leader of the opposition? Unbelievable. I'm livid. Yeah, well, we had Boris Johnson and it really can't get any worse. Yeah, I never forgave you guys

for letting a Boris into power. Can I get my bad pop culture prediction out of the way? Yes, please. Is it Rocky and Bullwinkle? I think Pete Davidson will date a high-profile politician in the next year.

No, no. Sophie, I have a better one. Pete Davidson is going to date... That's a free space prediction. Sorry. I have a better one Pete Davidson is going to date Grimes

that's on everybody's list I've seen that seven times I think he's going to impregnate someone that's my take I think that we're going to find out something juicier alright well you know it'd be easy to stick with like pretty grim predictions like, oh, there's going to be a mass shooting at a drag show.

It's going to happen. Because, I mean, that seems – Pretty good chance. That's less a prediction and more just like looking at where the temperature is going. Can I do my like hack version of that that's slightly less hack which is i i think i think we're gonna get an actual shootout between armed fascists and armed anti-fascists in a city that the press actually cares about so not portland that is entirely possible we haven't we haven't had a shootout in portland yet i mean that's the thing kind of i mean like there's no there's been an exchange of gunfire yeah why don't you all talk at the same fucking time and make Daniel's life hard?

One of you speak at a time. Because we hate Daniel. Welcome to 2023, Daniel. Yeah. I love you, Daniel. 2023 is the year we break Daniel. No. We have had an exchange of gunfire, though.

No, we have not. Okay. I think she means like. Oh, my God. It has not gotten better. It has gotten better. We have had a person shooting into a crowd and another person shooting that person. We have had people fire at each other, but we have not had two different people exchange gunfire with each other.

Neither have we had groups of people exchange gunfire with each other. That has not occurred yet. I agree. I think there's a real good chance it does. I'm more worried about the police opening fire on a group of anti-fascists and the fascists joining them. But all of those things are on the fucking table, and it gets more likely every time we roll the dice on that shit. Yeah. One thing that gives me some hope is how the recent events in Texas have been going.

The size of the community that has been showing up at the last couple of drag events and how outnumbered the right has been. As a general rule, if anything is going to make it less likely that either the police or the fascists fire, it's being tremendously outnumbered. um it's being tremendously outnumbered um so i don't know i'm i'm i'm in between hopeful and despairing about like where the future of that's going to be here's my hopeful prediction crypto.com arena will not be named crypto.com arena that is my hope and dream I do think that crypto.com is well I mean it looks like Binance is on its way to collapsing that's nice

slightly less badly than FTX did but it looks like it's not going to be around much longer and crypto.com is kind of in a similar space I think there's actually a real chance that we see the functional death of cryptocurrency. Does that mean my stadium gets to be named a normal thing and not something viciously embarrassing, Robert?

No, it's still going to be embarrassing, Sophie. Because they paid up front for that, I think. It's like FTX paid like $150 million up front to get their name on that stadium in Florida. They are trying to change it, but I think they're stuck with it for a little while. Scam stadium. I'd rather be called scam stadium. I'd literally be called that.

Yeah. Get a GoFundMe going. The Charles Ponzi Memorial Stadium. I still don't understand how you go from here's office supplies to that. It's so embarrassing. And like, does it even flow? Okay, we're not doing this right now.

Yeah, I think that we should change the crypto.com stadium. We should name it after Bad Dragon, that company that makes dildos themed after mythological creatures. Based. Yeah. Based. Yeah. Based. I. This is like hopeful. But I feel like there's going to be another virus.

Because there are some people that are going too hard. In the other direction. I feel like every year. There might be a new virus introduced. That we're going to have to grapple with. Yeah. Yeah. And with it new racist theories about where it came from.

Yeah. But then like. But we're like past the point of being able to lock down. You know what I mean? I think that's what's going to make it snowball. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah, one of the scary things about the COVID response

is that how politicized the concept of a lockdown or mask wearing has gotten means that there's effectively no way for U.S. culture to stem the spread of an airborne virus. Like it's impossible. There's not even a chance. We don't use the parachute and we can't use it again. We lit the parachute on fire. Yeah. To own the libs. Yeah. I have been wanting to do this for a long time but i haven't done it because i don't think it's feasible for work but i would love i think people are going to start using flip phones more hell yeah i think like people are going to step away return to tradition yeah because there's even like a psychological study going on right now where a bunch of teens did that and like they've reported much better lives or whatever the

shit so i would love to do that myself but i think more people are going to go that route i saw a graph the other day saying the happiest that american teens have reported themselves being was the the early 2000s right around when i graduated high school and all we could do with our phones was text each other to buy drugs and play snake and that's kids need, is the ability to play Snake and buy ketamine. Yeah. Hopefully at the same time. Yep.

That's what's going to do the arena next. It's going to be the ketamine arena. In LA. Well, do you know who could buy the arena? Rob Evans. Any of these products and services that support this podcast. That's right. Welcome.

available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back, and this is a section that we're calling Death. This is the death segment. Who is going to die in 2020?

Can I start this one? It's going to be Noam Chomsky. That's who I'm calling. I think Noam Chomsky is going to die. I think we are going to have the worst two or three weeks of media that we've seen in

years. It's going to make Pog Patrol discourse look like tame, like media that we've seen in years it's gonna make it's gonna make it's gonna make pog patrol discourse look like tame like we're like people are unironically gonna be doing Stalin as a POC discourse again as part of it

you have to pause and explain it you have to pause and explain all of this because nobody no reasonable person is going to know what you're talking about. We have to blaze through that and pretend it never happens. I want to know what Pog Patrol is. No, you don't. I legitimately refuse to explain that.

If you want me to explain it, you need to pay me more than I'm being paid. I'm sure someone will DM me now to explain it. Thank you very much. They're the people who are behind all of this insufferable left wing discourse that occasionally breaks through to the mainstream. They did round two of Anne Frank

white privilege discourse. What a throwback. Jump off a bridge. Death. Who is going to die? Elon Musk. You think Elon Musk is going to die? I'm making a Hail Mary. All right. Anyway. Death. Yeah. Death. Who is going to die? Elon Musk. You think Elon Musk is going to die? It's not.

It's likely. I'm making a Hail Mary. Elon Musk. It's going to be Musk. Drug addiction. Maybe. Maybe he ODs. Oh no.

Maybe he shoots himself with that fake gun. He's going to be practicing yoga in his duffel bag when he shoots himself in the back of the head by accident. That's very specific,

James. It's almost like you planned that out uh it's almost like someone already did it um what i think uh i think joe biden's gonna die um i think it's just makes sense physiologically like it's like joe died and i have that in my head too i didn't specifically say joe I said whoever is... I said one of the two people running for president in 2024 that are the clear frontrunners,

one of the two will die causing the election to be even more stupid than it already is. My runner-up is Nancy Pelosi. Oh, maybe Nancy Pelosi will date Pete Davidson. She's not a speaker. I'm talking about fencing logically. It doesn't matter. She'll be at vineyards. She's not a speaker. If she dies, it doesn't matter. She'll be at vineyards.

She's going to be thriving. All that will happen if Pelosi dies is that people will sell out of those weird political action figures. We'll just sell out of all the Nancy Pelosi ones. That's all that will happen if she dies. No, I'm not saying I want her to die or not want her to die. I just think those are the two people that every time i see them i'm like how are how you know i feel that

way with boris johnson i think he like that man has lived a rough one i wouldn't be shocked if he you know what would be the funniest terminal gout you know what would be the funniest thing based on it being 2023 what if what. What if the king dies a year after the queen? There's a decent chance. You've seen his fingers. That man's not healthy. Yeah. Because that would be so funny.

It would be pretty funny if it ended up with Meghan Markle being queen after all just because those people hate her so much. That would be pretty funny. What I will throw out there, I think there's a decent chance it's Fuentes. I think he's gotten... Nick Fuentes, his profile has increased so much so quickly. That he gets killed by one of his enemies or fans?

I think there's a good chance it's one of his fans. He gets Louis-beamed? He's already had... No, that wasn't Louis-beamed. That was George Lincoln Rockwell. Rockwell, yeah. Yeah, I mean. I'm a hack and a fraud.

Part of why I think that there's a chance of that is the weird sex-related drama he's had with a number of his followers. Like, he's already messing in those, like, wading into those waters. He's done shit like going over their rooms with a blacklight and stuff. Like, he's had weird, uncomfortable relations,

like relationships with his followers that are like distressingly personal in a way that makes me think that one of them might lose it on him. I don't know. I think there's a non-zero chance it's Fuentes. Yeah, he gets swatted a lot. Yeah, he gets swatted. I'm less worried about Yeah I think like Murdered by another

Weirdo right winger There's a decent chance Jason just had a good thing On Fuentes Come out today I think Rudy's dying Oh Here's something

Which Rudy? Giuliani Giuliani Oh okay I disagree You think he's gonna live forever? Why? He's either gonna live forever

Or he's gonna be He's already dead Yeah I think he died Four years ago to be? Really? Why? He's either going to live forever or he's going to be... He's already dead. Yeah, I think he died four years ago, to be fair. I hate that man. He's made of wax and melting. Yeah. He is thriving. Yeah.

Another example of that. I just read a great interview with him in Cigar Aficionado magazine. Oh, my God. My favorite fact about Rudy. So, you're not supposed to inhale cigars unless you're one of a tiny chunk of people who think that that's the right way to smoke them and rudy's an inhaler rudy sucks that smoke right into his lungs do you know who else is an inhaler is stephen crowder and we know that he's had a series of

pretty significant medical issues i think stephen crowder goes back in the hospital and i think i i think he'll survive but he will have to like live like in like he'll have to be like hooked up to like machinery to to be able to keep going so he's gonna he's gonna be doing his show while hooked up to medical equipment i think that is that is another one of my my predictions is not healthy right is he still he's ever it's impossible there's a twitter dedicated to uh he's going to die or not. There is a Twitter dedicated to if Jordan Peterson is going to die or not.

Good point, Shereen. Speaking of Twitter accounts, I do think this is the year. Kissinger? Kissinger. Yeah. It's never Kissinger. It's never Kissinger.

Always bet against Kissinger He's going to stay alive Yeah At least to see another election rigged Somewhere in the world or a coup Wait he's 99 I think he gets to 101 He gets to like 108 He carries on

Way longer Way longer than what he should 108, 109 maybe to like 108. He carries on way longer. Way longer than what he should. 108, 109 maybe. How are people, because I know several of us have said this in the past, how are people feeling about Kanye? Is he going to make it? I think Kanye, there's a decent chance,

absolutely seriously, there's a decent chance that he dies from a number of reasons Garrison and I have talked about this a lot we both are on that side yeah I agree with that I think yeah well I think the real money

is on does Kanye take anyone with him oh my god oh my god but yeah what if he takes Fuentes what if Kanye and Fuentes go out together? Garrison, there's not terrible numbers on that. That's so likely.

That is not a 0%. I just got a single spark of hope in my dead soul. I think this is the year we lose OJ. Oh, wow. I saw him give an interview the other day, and I mean, he looked unwell.

OJ is just like Kissinger. He somehow keeps winning, even though he shouldn't. Yeah, Sophie. The smart money is never on betting against the juice. Oh my God. All right, well, do you know who else loves betting?

The products and services that support our podcast. The weird gambling things that are auto ads for us. Michael Jordan's dad for a while. Robert. That man was murdered. Yeah. The guy who founded the donut shop is a Cambodian guy he left bedding is this a problem are we on break or is this all before the break

Thank you so much. Oh my God. All right. Let's see. So final predictions for 2023. You know, there is not the midterms, right? There's no significant kind of election this year, at least inside the US.

I think this is a prediction that's going to hurt Sophie. I think something really bad comes out about Harry Styles, and I am praying for it. That hurts Shireen too, first of all. That something really damaging is going to come out about Harry Styles. I saw that. The only predictions i saw about harry styles that he was going to come out with a vow of celibacy i let's go with that instead that honestly that is that is so that is so likely no i think garrison's on the right track though i think uh whether it be harry or somebody else i think there's going to

be a huge huge pop celebrity scandal. Hopefully it's not Harry. Yeah. Well, there was one. I mean, every year there's a celebrity scandal. I mean, I don't know if it's relevant, but Nick Carter. That's right, Sophie. That's right.

I don't know if it's relevant because he's like 40, but Nick Carter is going through some shit with sexual assault. Yeah, it was in the early 2000s. He assaulted a bunch of people. And the main person that's... Isn't there Backstreet Brothers who are Backstreet Boys? I'm like Backstreet Brothers. I'm like really passionate.

Backstreet Boys who are QAnoners. Isn't that correct? Oh, yikes. Didn't know that. I think someone more relevant than Carterter will will be exposed okay another another prediction that's like less of a less of a prediction more just like looking at current trends and recent reporting um that there will be a big uh shift away from like a shift away from solar towards nuclear fusion i think that we're gonna we're gonna i think i think on fusion stuff's too

far out i i but no no i think on the governmental level whether or not it works or not there's going to be a big shift towards talking about fusion as the solution to climate stuff i think that'll particularly be influential around people who don't want to support meaningful climate change mitigation yes activities now like yeah i agree with you there yeah yeah like a shield i have a china take which is yeah okay so all right it's really hard to get good information about exactly what so okay one of the things the thing that's been happening as a sort of result of the protest is that the CCP's done like, I don't know, they're doing a traditionally really stupid CCP response, which is that they've basically flipped their policy like on its head in a lot of places. There's been a lot of like, they've gone very quickly from mobilizing state resources to like keep people in lockdowns

mobilizing state resources to forcing people to go to work and it's really unclear exactly what like how bad like the the covid wave they're going to get is i i actually i don't think it's going to be as bad as like the really there's there's a lot of predictions that are like like a hundred like a million people are going to die in like six months it's there's a lot of predictions that are like like a hundred like a million people are gonna die in like six months it's like no i don't think that's true but i think if covid actually does get into the sort of like china has this very large population of like very like very very not vaxxed like old people basically like particularly in rural areas and if covid gets into those people and those people start dying i think we're gonna see shit in china that makes

like the current protests look like a fucking joke like i think we're gonna see like like people like like party officials are gonna be getting like dragged through the fucking streets like it's i don't know like i this has been one of my long-running beliefs about chinese society which is i don't think you can actually kill a million people in china and not or like like even even like a like 40 or 50 000 people i don't i don't think you can have the government just straight up do policies that kill that many people without stuff going really really fucking wild really quickly and i think people are underestimating the extent to which especially in in in these rural areas if if those people start dying en masse i think

shit's gonna get fucking wild um yeah that's my that's my uh that's that's that's that's my that's my 2023 china hot take all righty righty. I bet someone does something horrific with a 3D printed gun of some kind. Oh, no. Yep, yep. And there's a whole bunch of panic. Yeah, that was the next thing I was going to say. My prediction was going to be

there was going to be significant pressure on a federal level to ban the production of 3D printed guns. Yeah, and on an international level. I think there's a really good chance it happens somewhere in Europe in the same way that you had the Bada Klan massacre

kind of done using re-militarized demilled prop guns. I think there's a good chance that we get something maybe out of Germany with a high body count that pushes internationally

for restrictions and crackdowns Anyone have a prediction on who Trump will pick as his running mate? Ooh Sarah Palin I think it could be me I think I could get it Honestly though

if you're on the ground in alaska like almost every single person that because jamie was just was working on a story for us and that's based in alaska she they like her there they're like she's not that bad we don't get it literally she's so popular oh no yeah so i i don't know who who trump's gonna pick i on there's so many people he could that feel like too obvious or too much like they're they're too popular that they could threaten trump's like like sing singular brand because i i i don't think he wants another big voice i don't he wants someone to be slightly passive i don't think he'll pick like he's not gonna pick like marjorie yeah exactly no i don't

know which one but i think he'll pick a black Republican. I think that's... Larry Elder. That's... Yeah, whoever the quietest of them is. Larry Elder's too loud. Yeah.

I don't think he'll pick somebody he can't control. Herschel Walker. Herschel Walker. Oh, God. Garrison, don't speak that into being. I don't...

But also... I can imagine that. I think... That is my prediction. But Walker lost, and he does not like losers. Which is why he hated John McCain, who lost Vietnam. I think I see him picking a woman.

Oh. I think I see him picking a woman, which will be good for his optics. I just don't know of a woman that's either high profile enough, but still quiet enough that he would pick. No. Palin can't be quiet. He's not going to do Palin.

People be loving Sarah Palin. It doesn't matter what they love. What matters is that Trump doesn't want somebody who has the potential of distracting attention from him And she's been a big enough media figure in her own right that I think he'd be worried about it I think that's true No, they hate each other now I'm just saying, that's the vibe I'm getting from what I think he thinks will help him Like a black man that can speak kind of the same way Kanye speaks to his audience

Like maybe before the anti-Semitic shit, but there's a black man Republican, I think is what will happen. I think he has two flanks that he can be hit from in the Republican party. And one flank is just like the anti-vax flank. And then his second flank is like someone who tries to like tap into the evangelical voters who were kind of pissed off at him. And I think...

I mean, I feel like DeSantis will probably go after that. Yeah, but I think he's going to pick someone either to sure him up on the anti-vax front, or he's going to pick some, like... Like, someone who every Evangelical knows and who no one else has ever fucking heard of. I think the latter is more likely with those options or somebody from his family I think he's that that would be really funny

Donald Trump and Donald Trump Jr. yes no it's gonna be Ivanka I think she's too woke I think it would absolutely be Ivanka she No, it would be... Yeah, I think she's too woke. She's like a... I think it would absolutely be Ivanka. Yeah. She's on the dark side.

He doesn't have an ounce of respect for the rest of them. Because he doesn't want to fuck them, that's why. That's actually not unlikely. Like, if he is going

to pick a woman, I think that is actually... That's who I would predict. Yes. My money is still on Herschel Walker. Yeah. But I think that is not a non-zero chance.

Yeah. Or he goes somebody that's not even remotely in the game at all. Yeah. That's likable in either a religious community or somebody that's on TV but isn't somebody that's on TV and in your face. But yeah so like he's not picking like a Kimberly Guilfoyle or anything like that which would be so fucking awful. Oh my

God. I thought about it. It's really bad for all of our ears. But yeah so I don't know. It's gonna be bad. Okay. Can I ask a slightly like related election take on that? Do you guys think that Mike Pence is going to run against Trump?

No. No. No. He's making a stick about it. No. Why? No, of course not. I don't think he'll actually run.

I think he'll just, if there's somebody that he deems that's like, you know, a true Republican and a true conservative um then he will pence will back to back the shit out of them he'll back i feel like it's gonna be i feel like there's gonna be another person who's not the santas who's gonna like i agree there's gonna be another person just like that man on a state like he has no charisma robert and i don't think he's gonna run we don't think he's gonna to run. We don't think he's going to run. We think he'll wait it out for the next one. I don't think he's going to run if Trump is

running in particular. Especially if Kanye is still in the news. It's too messy and he's young enough that he doesn't need to win this time. And he's so unfortunately well-liked in the state of Florida that he... He's got a swing state

he's safe he's safe there but he's smart enough to know that like going up against trump even if he wins could get enough stink on him that it fucks him over forever in the future as opposed to just holding on he'll be 46 in 2028 which is one of the youngest would make him still one of our youngest presidents yeah yeah and he could spend four more years just like you know sniping at whoever yeah just being a real big old piece of shit word giant turd yeah well i hope none of us die next year i hope none of us and thank you that's how my anxiety brain works i had to say it so it's not true i'm like you know what i mean that's how my anxiety i'm sorry i just say it so it's not true You know what I mean? That's how my anxiety

I'm sorry I just had to Thank you, Shireen I appreciate that I too I too wish that Yeah We got some work trips planned

Y'all don't catastrophize? No? Okay, that's fine Is that it? I think that's Twitter will die Twitter.com will not be a website That's a very likely

I think there'll be a big shake up with there'll be a big story about healthcare and how certain people are not diagnosed over other people and it's going to become a huge thing and there's going to be a huge story

about that at some point Here's hoping Yeah i mean that would that would there's been you know little little little baby stories about about certain things but i think it's gonna become a a global issue yeah and more we will see more bullshit about migration uh like yeah than we have done like when climate change is getting worse like everything that drives migration is getting worse uh and it will continue to be this fucking straw man that republicans use so yeah we're already seeing like y2k and early 2000s nostalgia and the bizarre thing is is that there's not much of a culture after that

Because around that time is when we started to reset Into like 80s nostalgia So I'm wondering what the next nostalgia cycle is going to be I think like Things like in Britain The whole landfill indie culture that came around In the late first decade of this century Yeah, you're right.
