podcasts. Cool Zone Media. Welcome to It Could Happen here. This is our 2025 predictions episode. We were starting to bicker off like about what we predicted last year and I was talking about the things we predicted. And one of the things I predicted early on, I was like, I think Kim Kardashian will be part of the Trump cabinet.

And like, honestly, goals at this point. But I'm not that far off though, like, because essentially what he has done is he's basically tried to go for people that are good on TV. It's true. It's true. And like going off of that reality TV energy. Finally, we will acknowledge the Armenian genocide. I was vibing, okay, James?

I was vibing. No vibes allowed. No vibes allowed. Genocide. Just, I know. James. All right. Vibaside.

God. All right. Mia, Mia Wong's here. I was hoping to bring Garrison here. James Stout's here and the dishonorable Robert Evans is also here. I judge that nickname bad. Jesus Christ. Wow.

So let's go over some of our terrible 2024 predictions just briefly. Now unfortunately, there was a lot of election election ones which were very sad to listen to. Oh no. Oh God. Now, we were correct about many things. We did talk about how Harris would probably be a really bad candidate to run against Trump. Totally forgot about that. We did?

We did? Yeah, huge dub for us. Yeah. Massive health for the country. Oops. That brief period of time when Biden stepped down, it really felt like it might be, I mean, she did better than he would have done. Yeah.

Well, I think that's just because we were still just reeling from that debate so bad that like anything was like, oh my God, there's like a lifeline. Look at how she can walk 30, 40 feet at a time. Exactly. Sentence. good God. None of us picked Vance specifically at that point in time, but we did pinpoint Trump's orbit and his campaign crew pretty well. Mia predicted that RFK Jr. could be a Trump VP pick,

and though he didn't become VP, he essentially kind of took over the VP campaigning role from Vance in like August. Yeah, because Vance was so bad at it. We all decided that like Vivek was simply like way too loud and like obnoxious. So Trump would like find some other spot for him. Stand by that. And that's what happened. He's still in the orbit, but he's not super close. So if he talked about possibly Christine Noem as getting linked in with Trump, maybe for VP.

Now that didn't happen for VP, but Kristi Noem is in the cabinet. Good job past me. Yeah, and Robert said that he would not be shocked if Trump got close with Tulsi Gabbard. Oh, Robert. And... Alas. Other less good predictions. I predicted that a Daily Wire host would get pied.

Unfortunately, did not come to pass. There's still time. It's still 2024 as we're writing this. Not when this airs, not when this airs. Yes, Kim Kardashian getting into politics. Didn't really happen. She kind of stayed at her regular coast level. Sorry, Sophie.

So far, trust me, She did all those things when Trump was elected the first time where all of a sudden she was like with other lawyers trying to get people out of jail by utilizing Trump. Yeah. I mean, and she was doing that with the Biden campaign as well. Not as visibly. The Harris campaign. She was meeting with Harris multiple times. She kind of stayed at this distant but talkative place. That's the Kardashian way, distant and talkative.

Speaking of, speaking of, your other prediction was that people would start forgetting about the Nazi stuff and Kanye would put out a well-received album, which kind of happened. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, a little bit. God, I haven't thought about Kanye in so many months. It was really nice. Well, it's over now. It was really nice.

Thanks, Garrison. Lastly, my failed prediction is that if Trump won the election, there would be two solid weeks of rioting, which simply did not happen. Yes, nothing happened. And I think it's actually kind of interesting. And we will maybe unpack that in the coming months as Trump's second term kind of settles in.

I'm sure we will kind of revisit why we think this did not happen. Certainly I'm curious about what Inauguration Day will look like, but yeah. Oh, that was a lot. Also, sorry, Morrissey is still alive, David. Scavage is still alive Morrissey is still alive, David, David. Scavage is still alive.

Putin is still alive. And though James did say that Assad would eat it, and though Assad didn't die, he kind of did eat it. Quote, unquote. Well done. Well done. I mean, James, yeah, that's not to be the biggest dub of the year. Eat it.

Yeah, that's right. Dan, I'd forgotten all about that. Really happy with myself now. James, I'm so proud of you, buddy. You gotta pick another one this year. Men on long, baby. He's next. Let's, I guess, let's start with some kind of dictator predictions. What do we think will happen to like a dictator in 2025? Which is going to die? Do we think or just general dictator predictions? Dictator predictions. Maybe we get a new one. Maybe we get a new fancy one. Yeah, well, yeah, something's happening in January. I have two. Well, one of them, I mean, it's kind of a hack one, but I don't think the Junta

Myanmar makes that a 2025. Yeah, I think not in the version it is today. Yeah, that's the hack one. The other one is another Assad one, is I think someone actually does assassinate Assad. Well, he's like, he gets too full of himself and he goes to Abu Dhabi and some Muslim Brotherhood guy just whacks him. Yep.

Okay, my Assad prediction is he becomes a Russia Today host. That's my Assad prediction. Oh my gosh, yeah. I know he's gonna open his ophthalmology clinic. No, I mean, I think he's gonna get signed to host a podcast by a little network you might have heard of called Cool Zone Media. Congratulations, guys.

Let's bring him on, Sophie, get him on the Zoom. Tell him he can hop in the room now. Bashar, baby! We are merging with Tedded Media to bring out our friend, Asar Al-Assad. Yeah, Asar Al-Assad. Welcome to the pod, Bashar. He's actually doing a whole media tour

with the Pod Save guys next week. That's gotta be fascinating. Pod Save Bath is Syria, the most cursed podcast in the world. My dictator slash world leader prediction is that this might be Netanyahu's. I was thinking. Yeah. Last ride. From your mouth to whatever fucking clot

is working its way through his coronary system. God, in a year, I really fucking hope I'm right. We all do. I don't know what else to say there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let's be a good thing for the world.

Yeah. I mean, we are verging into not doing predictions, just doing hopes and dreams. Yeah. Well, I did Morrissey like that last year and we didn't get it, and I'm sad. We need some hopes and dreams out in the world, I think. Fair enough. Yeah. Oh, do you know what else we need, team? Money.

From these advertisers, that's right. Hey, it's Nikki Glaser. I'm not here to roast you. I'm here to overshare everything that went down at the Golden Globes last Sunday. Everyone is already talking about what happened on air at the Golden Globes, but you are going to hear about what happened off air from the horse's mouth. Yes, I'm the horse, me, Nikki Glaser. Join me on my podcast, the Nikki Glaser podcast, where I will be telling you all the details. I can finally relax with my besties, my listeners,

and dish what happened backstage. What went down, the things people are already talking about, the things that people should be talking about, I've got it all. From what it took to prep for the Golden Globes, to the behind the scenes of the Golden Globes. What went down in the rehearsals, who said what at the after party, who I saw at the after party, who was dancing with who.

I'm gonna spill it all, secrets will be revealed. You do not want to miss this episode. Listen to the Nikki Glaser podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Jason Alexander. And I'm Peter Tilden. And together on the Really No Really podcast, our mission is to get the true answers to life's baffling questions like, Why they refuse to make the bathroom door

go all the way to the floor. We got the answer. Will space junk block your cell signal? The astronaut who almost drowned during a spacewalk gives us the answer. We talk with the scientist who figured out if your dog truly loves you and the one bringing back the wooly mammoth.

Plus, does Tom Cruise really do his own stunts? His stunt man reveals the answer. And you never know who's gonna drop by. the wooly mammoth. Plus, does Tom Cruise really do his own stunts? His stunt man reveals the answer. And you never know who's gonna drop by. Mr. Brian Cranston is with us today. How are you two? Hello, my friend. Wayne Knight about Jurassic Park.

Wayne Knight, welcome to Really No Really, sir. Bless you all. Hello, Newman. And you never know when Howie Mandel might just stop by to talk about judging. Really? That's the opening? Really No Really. Yeah, really. No, really. we want this to stop. Wow, very powerful.

I'm Ellie Flynn and I'm an investigative journalist. When a group of models from the UK wanted my help, I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry. I really wanted to be a Playboy model. Lingerie, topless. I said yes, please. Because at the center of this murky world is an alleged predator.

You know who he is because of his pattern of behavior? He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it. He's everywhere and has been everywhere. It's so much worse and so much more widespread than I had anticipated. Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in. It's not just me.

We're an army in comparison to him. Listen to The Bunny Trap on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. When I smoke weed, I get lost in the music. I like to isolate each instrument. The rhythmic bass, the harmonies on the piano, the sticky melody. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, careful babe, there's someone crossing the street. Sorry, I didn't see him there.

If you feel different, you drive different. Don't drive high. It's dangerous and illegal everywhere. A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and my latest interview is with Mel Robbins. The theory is very simple. It is a mindset tool that instantly helps you identify what's in your control and what's not in your control. Renowned motivational speaker, best-selling author, Mel Robbins! Work has been seen as the number one cause of stress. How can the let them theory help? As you notice the stress come up, Jay, you're simply going to say, let them.

You have no idea right now how much time and energy is being wasted because of other people's behavior. It's like a death by a thousand cuts. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we are back. All right, Garrison, what's next? So usually in the middle of these prediction episodes, I like doing our third annual death segment. Who do we think will die? And I guess we kind of touched on this briefly, but I don't think we actually secure death for any of those people in our predictions, just that they would have circumstances change.

Though for this year's death segment, we have a bit of a twist. So, it turns out, about two years ago, on Spotify Rap Day, we all woke up to the news that both Angela Badalamenti was embarrassingly my number one Spotify artist that year, but also that Henry Kissinger died. Honey. And this Spotify Raps Day, we will come to the news that the United Health Care CEO was gunned

down in New York City. So, Spotify Raps 2025. Who's dying? Who's dying? On Spotify Raps Day. On Spotify Raps Day. On Spotify Rapped Day. So this is like what? Late November, early December, we don't really know. Spotify Rapped Death Day predictions. So long, farewell, a-veter say goodbye. Mitch McConnell. Oh, that's a good one. That's an easy one.

Okay, I'll give it to you. I'm thinking like, who's gotta get through most of the year, but not finish it out? You know? It's tough. I'm gonna make my call, tie up, rest up, air to one. You know? That's my hope. That's a long shot, I know. Because he doesn't seem like he's in bad health. That's a big one.

Kissinger was a long shot too cuz he was like arguably immortal He'd kept living for so fucking long. Oh So long farewell of either say goodbye Elon Musk I was gonna say that I think he might die you think we're finally gonna get that drug overdose, huh? I just he just seems to be spiraling so hard right now. The spiral's mad real. Yeah. He's getting everything he wants though. What?

I mean that, that also it's true. It's true. Sometimes that's dangerous. Yeah. Especially if you are addicted to a drug that you can get in unlimited pure quantities and no one will ever say no to handing it to you. We, we have some more must predictions for later on the episode. Okay.

But I can see of, of some, you know, like famously the Secret Service, you know, not not great at hiding their own drug problems. I can I can see possibly with Musk entering a new level of comfort, maybe the spiraling a little a little too far out of his control. He and two Secret Service agents are found dead with fentanyl-infected bloat. He and two secret service agents are found dead with a terminal infected blow. Oh man. Or maybe a SpaceX launch goes really wrong. Who's to say? Who's to say?

Damn, I gotta think of who my Spotify wrapped day death is. I have a long shot. Ooh. Okay. Here's your long shot, man. My long shot is that sometime on Spotify Rap Day, JK Rowling sees a trans woman just like existing and gets so mad she has an aneurysm and dies. No. She's looking through the Spotify Raps and she knows that trans women make the best music.

And she sees and gets so mad, she just kills over. She transvestigates every single female artist on the Spotify rap list and dies of sleep deprivation doing so. Her own fans start transvestigating her. This is just drives her off the edge. Okay, I have a real long shot here, but I can see how it could happen. So we're in, we're in like what?

Like month, month 10, 11 of Trump term two, right? The right wing Nazi content creators are settling, are settling into their, into their kind of groove. Some of them aren't really happy at Trump not like, you know, carrying on all of his big lofty promises. And one disgruntled fan of Nick Fuentes does something crazy on Spotify Rapped Day. And that's my prediction, is that somehow some really weird stalker or fan does something to Mr. Fuentes.

Just pure prediction on like, just like what would be the oddest something to Mr. Fuentes. Just pure prediction on like, just like what would be the oddest thing to happen, but something that could totally make sense. Maybe it's like an old like Kanye fan, you know? From Kanye and Nick's. From his Nazi era. Yeah, yeah. I don't know.

I feel like it's, his fandom's getting close enough to pull some like weird crazy shit like that on like a deeply parasocially destructive level. Like Stephen King's misery. A misery happens to Nick Fuentes, but he doesn't make it out. That's my Spotify wrapped prediction. I have said for years, Nick Fuentes is going to go down...

Live! Maybe live. He's gonna go down. Live. Maybe live. He's going to go down like George Lincoln Rockwell. It is not going to be like an enemy of his that does it. It's going to be a result of his incredibly messy personal life. Yeah. Like someone is going to take him down. Like it's, it's that.

Yeah. Yeah. That feels right. Do we have a non categorized predictions? Is it that time yet? Sure. Now that we have, we have a non categorized predictions? Is it that time yet? Sure. Now that we have, we have finished our Spotify wrapped predictions and I do not

know who my top artists will be. This last year it was Trent Reznor. So salute that flag. Okay, Garrison. Challenger soundtrack. That thing fucking bops. I tried to make Robert watch that on the way to How's it the DNC or the RNC? I don't remember and but he wouldn't watch it with headphones

And so it was just on on the plane. I think it was the DNC. Yeah, that's terrible Yeah, I think I think I was reading a Nick land Honestly that's a vibe that actually pairs quite well. I landed completely deranged. It was great. Ready to work. A prediction, a prediction that I have is that like, Trump basically tries to move a lot of the main time he spends to Mar-a-Lago versus the White House.

Like I feel like he's going to make Mar-a-Lago some like national monument type shit so that he can take whatever the fuck documents he wants from the White House to Mar-a-Lago and spend as much time there as he wants and make that like a national residence or some shit. Went to White House? Yeah. Yeah. The whiter house,. Winter White House. Yeah.

The whiter house. The whiter one could call it. So true. So true. I mean, Garrison, no. I'm kind of interested to watch what happens with AOC over the next year, because she has definitely become to a lot of folks that progressive and on the left, like a villain over the last year. And I kind of wouldn't be surprised if like,

assuming there's still politics in 20 years, when we're talking to young people, they think of her like Pelosi and we're like, oh, you've got to understand when things started out, this was a very different person. Yeah. Now, I'm not saying that's a fair way to characterize her now or where she'll go.

I'm just saying like, I wouldn't be shocked if that's the way a lot of folks are looking at it in fucking a few years. Because I'm seeing, I'm hearing a lot of that now. People are very angry at her over largely Gaza, but yeah, also the fact that she and Bernie both tried to back Biden kind of late in his uh, senescence.

Yeah. Okay. My, my big one for the year is this is the, this is the year the economy finally collapses. Like this is the year you find out that no company has made any fucking money in a decade. It's all been being pumped up by like a deranged combination of interest rate bullshit, a bunch of fucking money from like overnight repo purchases, keeping the banks propped up. I don't know if it's gonna be the trade war that fucking blows it up,

although I think that will instantly detonate everything. I don't know, maybe it's the Chinese housing bubble, maybe the tech bubble finally collapses, maybe all three of them hit at the same time. This is the year it fucking goes. I've never actually put my name down on this on the show on any other fucking year. This is the year it fucking goes. I've never actually put my name down on this on the show on any other fucking year. This is the year. The zombie economy will fall over dead. The necromancy cannot hold. we're going to get like fucked up inflation and people are going to be very angry and the number will continue to go up on the stock market because that's kind of what it's designed to do. That's

my theory. And the housing market will still be trash. Yeah, and we will never afford homes. And the housing housing's just going to get more expensive. It will be interesting to see Trump's entire all of his backers and his whole media. Like one thing that will be easier for the left is really hitting conservatives on inflation as it gets horrible again, uh, or continues to suck because that's, you know, at this point, just a factor of the economy working as intended that they all have to pretend isn't. Yeah. And before we go to a break, I just want to say the price of eggs will go up.

We need to get chickens now. Oh yeah, this bird flu thing is not going to help with eggs. Oh boy. Oh boy. Get your eggs now. Buy thousands of dollars of eggs now. If only there was some kind of device to make eggs that you could have in your own garden. Oh my goodness.

on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. I guess to piggyback off of Robert and Mia's predictions there in the economy, my prediction is that once I finally launch Coolzone Coin this year, I'm going to make it big. Oh, god. Oh, god. The economy is going to go down.

I am going to be going up. Everyone's going to start buying Coolzone coin because the US dollar becomes worthless. Bitcoin is going to crash too. It's fake. But Coolzone coin has real fungible value. The thing about Coolzone coin that makes it different from all of the other crypto coins is that it is really based on a fundamentally limited and valuable resource, which is movies from the 90s that

I showed Garrison and they actually liked. So you know, there's only so many Cool Zone coins that can ever be in circulation. We're lucky I was in Portland this Christmas because we really stocked up a few more of those 90s classics to bump up the price of Cool Zone coin going into 2025. That's right everybody. Wow. Sell your house by Cool Zone coin. into 2025. That's right, everybody. Wow. Sell your house by Coolzone coin.

Have you seen Hook, Garrison? I have seen Hook. I like Hook. Oh, of course, of course. Good, good. Yeah. A classic. Have you seen Wicker Man 1973? You know, I actually haven't.

I've been waiting to catch it in the theater. We will make this happen at some point. It's necessary. I would, I would love to. I would love to. I would love to. One thing I think is very predictable border stuff. They will stunt on another caravan of migrants. And I think it's pretty easy for them to kind of organize that and make that happen. And it will be a way for Trump to flex his border fascism.

Yeah. Much like he did in 2018. Maybe they'll wait till the midterms again. There's always a fun border disaster for the midterms. Can I just do one that might not be a prediction, but like a Sophie hope? Sure. Yeah, get it. Something has to happen to those Paul brothers. Oh, Sophie.

Oh yeah, that's possible. Yeah. My prediction for the Paul brothers is that one of them dies within the next five years and one of them lives to be 107. That tracks. Sure. brothers is that one of them dies within the next five years and one of them lives to be 107. That tracks. Sure, yeah. They decide to take on Bob Dylan in a boxing match and only one of them survives. I think Bob Dylan will live through this next year. I've just found Bob Dylan's tweets, the purest thing you've ever seen. He just tweets about

what he's doing. What a hero. What a hero. Netflix paying Jake Paul to billions of dollars to fight 900 year old Mike Tyson. And then Jake Paul coming in on like a vintage car and spraying his product and it having higher streaming numbers than the Superbowl. Is that real? Yes.

To be fair, that was a rancid Super Bowl. Rancid Super Bowl. This cannot, this cannot be. And most of us just turned in on the off chance that Jake Paul would die. Yes, that is true. That is true. The hope.

Or at least get bitten. Yeah, all of us were hoping that Mike Tyson was not in fact 60 years old, but he is 60 years old. So, yeah, something, God. Yeah. Something, something's gotta give. Oh, and there won't be a left-wing Joe Rogan. Thank you so much.

Oh, I don't know, Sophie. I think I can. As soon as we launch Coles O'Goyne, I think we can really. Oh my God. There'll be somebody trying to be. Oh, sorry, Fee, they're already off. By the way, it's time for me to do our new ad plug. You've heard of how good elk meat is for you,

and you've heard of how liver is a super food. Well now try new elk liver steaks. It's just ground up liver shoved inside a steak. I send it through the mail, through FedEx, five day delivery. It is not refrigerated in any way. No refrigeration. It's better at room temp, better at room temp.

Better to get the healthy bacteria. And it gives you mystical powers. It's just... And it gives you mystical powers. And it gives you mystical powers. And it gives you mystical powers. And it gives you mystical powers. And it gives you mystical powers.

And it gives you mystical powers. And it gives you mystical powers. And it gives you mystical powers. And it gives you mystical powers. And it gives you mystical powers. And it gives you mystical powers. And it gives you mystical powers. And it gives you mystical powers. And it gives you mystical powers. One of my, I guess, more hopes, and it's still partial predictions, is that National Guard gets into a scuffle with Border Patrol in some kind of blue state. Yeah, yeah, good chance. We have some brave and strong governor is gonna salute the troops and send out our proud National Guard boys to fight off ICE.

And that's just a battle I would love to see. I've wanted to see that ever since Portland 2020. I've wanted to see National Guard troops fight against federal forces. Two groups of men who don't really know how to use their guns, using their guns. No. It's going to be amazing. It's a battle I've wanted to see for like five years. Whose plate carriers have to top closer to their nipples? It's anyone's game.

I need to see it. I need to see it. Come on. I would like to see it from a distance, because that would be a shit show. Yeah, from a sizable distance. General Whitmer, let's go. We're expensing a fucking telescope for that firefight. Yeah, a, yeah. A periscope, maybe. I trust the Iraqi army more than either of those sides.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen a lot of dudes fire guns while ducking behind a K-beam holding the gun from the head. They love doing that. It does look fun. It does look fun. It is, yeah. It does look fun.

I would like to do that. That they kick me out of the range every time because of woke. How sad. Well, not anymore, James. That's also the casualties. Yeah. Not anymore, James. Woke is beaten.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah. They, uh, when woke, they went broke. I'm going to buy the range. That's right. We'll all fall from behind the bench rest now. Oh, mama mia. Other predictions.

Maybe we'll get a good solid couple of weeks of rioting again, like Garrison said. Like maybe it'll only take a year or two this time. I don't think that anymore. Something will have to change. Yeah. There will have to be a material change in either organizing or social conditions. Because people will need to either be vastly more desperate than they are right now, or they will need to have a specific reason to think, well, this time getting out on the street might do something.

Yeah. I think we're going to kind of continue the trends that we've been seeing, which points towards a bit of an apathy towards like big popular mobilizations and more towards kind of bizarre lone wolf attacks. Something that could be slightly problematic or possibly darker predictions. I think we'll have a really bad Luigi copycat within the next four months. Sure. Yes, the years of Luigi. Like it's not going to be good.

It's not going to be good. It's not gonna be good. There's probably gonna be a situation where some guy either gets, the best case is that he gets killed immediately by the dude's security. The worst case is there's a big public firefight and a whole fuckload of people get hit. Didn't I predict that there would be a big public crime

with a 3D printed gun last year? I think that was the year before we talked about that. Ah. Damn. Okay. So close. And yeah, I mean, this certainly does kind of fit that mold. We'll see how much that gets focused on in the trial and continued reporting.

Yeah. And in the legislation too. I miss a death. We can also include it in the hope section. Matthew Iglesias, that mother-father, mother-fucker has been standing bullshit for 20 years. It just, it cannot continue. He's lost a juice a little bit. I think he's on the way out.

All right. Something very funny did just happen that we should talk about as a team. Senator Doug Mastriano, a 30 year US Army veteran who taught at the War College. Yeah. Just tweeted an indignant furious tweet about the US government not being honest with Americans about like what's happening with these drones and the picture of the crashed drone is a tie fighter that's like a model tie fighter on the bed of a flatbed being Gyrfusker.

Yes. We've all lost her mind! Taught at the US Army War College? They're not sending their best people. Oh, fuck, that's funny. Oh, that's beautiful. That's amazing stuff. That's one of the best things I've seen all year. Oh, fuck me.

Finally, I like the Closer Pred predictions a little bit on Trump's cabinet. I think it's pretty, pretty safe to say considering his last presidency, we'll have at least one third cabinet turnover by the end of the year. Yeah, this is something that we've been talking about a lot. When do we think Musk is going to get the boot? And based on the way Trump's kind of positioned him, I'm not sure if it's going to be as soon as what we all kind of initially thought, because Trump has kept him out of his inner orbit,

but pretty solidly in his middle orbit. Like he's not in any real position, right? Yeah. He has doge. But like, come on. And it just came out that he's not going to be able to get a high, the highest security clearance. There you go. Yeah, that's funny.

But like he has him sitting next to his family at Thanksgiving. Totally. Yeah. No, no, totally. And especially in like the three weeks after the election, they were like, they were like honeymoon, right? They were, they were neck and neck. And some of that's going to like start dissipating.

Musk can't get fully booted out because like, you know, the federal government needs SpaceX and Musk's other technologies. So they will remain friendly, but they're not going to be in the close position that they are now. Initially, I put that date for being March 20th, 2025, two months after Inauguration Day. It's enough time for someone like Trump to get tired of Musk's personality.

But I think I might stretch that out a little bit more now than my initial prediction. I think they might do a little bit more of a long-term game here. But that also means that Musk maybe will not have as much constant influence as what it was first looking like in those like, you know, three months after the election. I think that RFK Jr. is probably pushed out of the picture before Musk is. Yeah. If he tries to get rid of the fucking polio vaccine, it's going to be a real quick trip to the unemployment line for Bobby Boy. Yeah, I really, I don't think Trump's that reckless.

No. Like that would be quite a line to get rid of the polio vaccine. Trump's also old, like he remembers. He's that old. He must have met people. But if RFK Jr. could get the wheat ingredient out of the McDonald's fries, I'd be most obliged.

Oh yeah, no, I'm sure that he's gonna reverse a hundred years of corn subsidies and get corn served out of our Coca-Cola. I believe in RFK. Yeah. I feel pretty good about the continuing legality of Kratom as long as he's the HHS head. There you go.

All it's gonna take is one of Joe Rogan's friends to speak it in his ear. Ha ha! And we'll be all right. We're gonna have legally required DMT for everyone in the country. Yeah, why not? I think we need, and I've been saying this for years,

we need to put the lithium back in the water. We also need to use those crop dusting planes and just like fill them with Xanax. Just calm everyone down. Take everything back a couple of steps. All right. I'm going to go pet some dogs. So the podcast is over.

Happy New Year, everyone. Happy, happy New Year, everyone. I do want everyone to pick one thing that that that they're going to do this year that will improve their life, however small for me. I'm going to get a new mirror. We're going to all pick one thing. We call that project 2025 It's what one thing we can do to improve our lives and you know

And then by extension the lives that everyone else around us So make sure everyone has their own personal project 2025 going into this next year. I think we will need it Yeah, I'm holding my project 2025 in my arms right and your new dog your new dog I adopted I adopted Anderson a sibling and her name is Truman. Lovely. After our greatest US president. After not the greatest US president. I would never name a child of mine after our president.

After the sheriff in Twin Peaks, that's right. Also no. All right, well, we love that. Off to the house, who grew up in the Truman Showhouse? Matt Gaetz. Yeah, named her after Matt Gaetz's childhood home. Matt Gaetz is like, totally out of a job now. That's so funny.

It's very funny. It's very, very funny. And I feel like we should end on that note. So, ha ha ha ha ha! To Matt Gaetz. Anyways. Anderson, Truman, let's get the fuck out of here.
