Starting point is 00:02:11 What do you do if you just have to go? I suck it up and I endure the life of a brute. And you do it. And I do it, yeah. But if you can hold it, you hold it. Yeah, absolutely. Funny. you know you kind of look like you're going to hate me for this damn i wish it was someone cool

Starting point is 00:03:24 comes out of my mouth matters it's all inconsequential you know you look like a piece of stupid guy yeah stupid guy all right folks so stay tuned for the end of this episode because we're going to let you know our predictions for the coming year um but why don't we kick off this year in review by first reviewing our bingo car no we got to check in see how we did because uh can we blow that up a little bit me talking about um the twin towers on September 10th, 2001. Can we blow that up a little bit? So we did a live stream
Starting point is 00:04:03 around this time last year, or in January of last year, this year, fucking 2025. And we filled out this bingo card. And let's... Something about 2026 feels wrong. Already? No, no, not like, just the number.
Starting point is 00:04:22 I don't know. 2025 seemed like... It's like, that's the highest that'll go. You'll never see a higher one. that... I'll never see a higher the number. 2026,
Starting point is 00:04:30 my brain doesn't want to accept that that's a year. Strange. Does that feel right? I kind of understand what you're saying
Starting point is 00:04:37 but no. I think as a millennial there's... As a millennial? What is it? You think as a millennial? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:47 I think, comma, as a millennial, comma, that uh, the fact that people who were
Starting point is 00:04:56 born in the year 2000 and a little bit after, our full-blown adults. Yeah. Is hard to accept for somebody's that. It's like the drinking age. You had to be born in 2005 now. Insane. It's like, no, you're still a baby.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Right. What are you talking about? You're wearing diapers. The oldest you could be if you were... Get out of the bar. You're wearing a diaper. The oldest you could be if you were born in 2005 is 10? Yeah. Topps.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Yeah. So it's just a bit hard to accept, I would say. Well, let's rattle these off. The first one that we put on our bingo card was that Elon Musk becomes a trillion. I will say a lot of these were jokes, but even the joke ones are, okay, fine. Elon Musk becomes a trillionaire. And then gets Mangeone. That was kind of a joke.
Starting point is 00:05:48 He did not. He did not become a trillionaire, but it's everything. The board has been completely set for him to become a trillionaire. in 2006. I also... Still room for him to get Mangione, too. That's true. I also thought...
Starting point is 00:06:05 You get his dick blown off by a rocket. People talked about the fact that Elon Musk would become a trainer. I just kind of assumed it would be some far-off thing. I cannot believe it's set to happen so soon. Yeah. It's just... What a cosmic joke. What a joke. Bernie Sanders is...
Starting point is 00:06:25 is going to have to update his, you know, stump speech. The millionaires and the billionaires. And the trillionaires. No, no. He's just going to say, and the trillionaire. Number two on this, or they're not numbered, but canceled comedian achieves even more success. I don't know who that refers to. I think it could be a lot
Starting point is 00:06:42 of people, honestly. Yeah. You've Aziz Ansari rocking at the Riyadh Comedy Festival. Aziz, I'm sorry. Definitely came back. He had his movie with Keanu Reeves And Seth Rogen I watched it and I enjoyed it Although it was so weird
Starting point is 00:06:59 I honestly didn't even know it came out Yeah it was it was called like I don't know angel job or job Job job Book of Job Book of Job Angel movie Angel comedy
Starting point is 00:07:12 Good fortune Good fortune Wait go back to that AI summary Good fortune movie review. A well-meaning, but rather a net... Oh, never mind, never mind, never mind. It was a good movie. I enjoyed it. And I didn't want to at first because
Starting point is 00:07:30 it felt super... It just felt Netflix-y in that, oh, these are all sets. But then I saw the budget was like $40 million. I'm like, where the fuck did the budget go? Anyway, you got ahead of him. Probably two, Seth Rogan and Keanu Reeves.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Yeah. And... And Aziz, I'm sorry. Yeah. And then you, Shane Gillis would probably be another one who's continued to see success. Yeah, but he had already done it. He already achieved it in, um, right. In, I'm trying to think, 2021. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:06 20, no, no, that was pre-pandemic, wasn't it? I don't know. I believe his whole, uh, you know, Asian joke gate. Yeah, uh, that was, um, oh, that's when he was a host. 2019. He was never on SNL. He got hired. No, I know, but it was 2019. It says right there.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Yeah. Yeah. All right. Wow, they have a little Google. Shane Gillis depart date, September 16th, 2019. Wow. That little picture of him? All right. I mean, good for him. He took over. Bird flu kills 100,000 in the U.S. safe to say that that did not happen. You were worried about it.
Starting point is 00:08:47 I was. I was. I still am. You're still worried about it. a degree. Boeing kills another guy, not a whistleblower, just one for fun. That didn't happen that we know of. But it still could happen. Who knows? RFK bans Diet Coke, and then January 6th happens again. That didn't happen. Thank God. But he did come for the cereals. He did come for the cereals. He did come for the cereals and people were pissed. Thank the Lord. Elon and Trump break up. That one did happen. We nailed that one. But they are kind of making up, which I don't love. They are kind of what?
Starting point is 00:09:19 Making up. Oh, yeah, they already are. They're kissing and making up, which I don't love. ARQT, my dandruff stock hits 35 a share, and I, oh, it hit 3180. God, dang. So I came close, 3180. Wow, you really did come close. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Did you sell? I sold some of it, yeah. Tesla gets approval for Full Self Drive, kills many children. This one was way off. I mean, we didn't talk about it in the. have you seen that Tesla is now at least we're probably like 10 days away
Starting point is 00:09:56 from this coming out or whatever in California where they probably by far sell the most Teslas they are not allowed to sell them right now because of their claims about full self-drive they've got like a weird thing with the DMV well I saw that but I didn't I don't know I didn't register for me
Starting point is 00:10:13 I just was like that's strange the California DMV is currently in a dispute with Tesla threatening a potential 30-day sales ban over allegations that Tesla's marketing of its autopilot and full self-drive features is deceptive as it misleads consumers into believing the vehicles are fully autonomous when they're not.
Starting point is 00:10:29 I imagine this will get resolved quickly. I'm very curious. So maybe this won't even maybe this won't even be a thing anymore by the time this comes out. But that just goes to show we couldn't be farther from... From Jay D. Vance's wife leaves him.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Honestly, this one was a joke. We couldn't be, we couldn't be, I couldn't imagine we'd get this close with the, with the Erica Kirk thing. I think that's all speculation. You think they're fucking in the show. It's obviously all speculation, but I honestly, I can see Usha leaving. Do you think she exposes him too risky? No. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:12 I think she just goes quietly into the night with her kids. Maybe she calls Ben and is like, hey. Me, Ben? Yeah. I'm not trying to hook up with her. It's just with a little wheezy cough. I'm not trying to hook up with her. Zuckerberg gets hotter.
Starting point is 00:11:31 I would say that probably did come true. That one did come true. That one did come true. It's okay. It's okay. Yeah, we don't need to. Zoikerberg. Dodgers win the World Series.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Mm-hmm. That happened. And Ben is so happy. We did not hit 100,000 subs on YouTube, which really pisses me off. Bad bingo. Yeah. What was... Okay, so something Chinese was the free space?
Starting point is 00:11:54 Yeah. I think that's open to interpretation. Yeah, what is... Did something Chinese happen in your... Nihau? Nihow ma. Sure. All right, folks.
Starting point is 00:12:10 I can't be the only one. Have you ever searched something random like, how to fix a leaky tap and suddenly you're getting ads for plumbers in five different cities.

Starting point is 00:14:16 Yeah yeah that's big enough I would do Deep seek was pretty big Deep seek was big but I don't know this is the problem with everything Everything comes and goes There's a lot of Chinese things happening It's like a new Ozzy Zanzari movie
Starting point is 00:14:30 You know what I mean It barely makes a dent in anything There were a lot of Chinese things happening You had the Chinese robots Um Deep Seek I was expecting more of like a invasion of Taiwan
Starting point is 00:14:47 Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah Well there's still time for that You think they might just It could be a little Christmas surprise Dude I mean if they want to catch us sleeping Bay caught me sleeping Remember that? Boo caught me sleeping
Starting point is 00:15:02 Yeah Boo caught me sleeping What is that from? People spell that S L I-P-P-I-N. Slippin. Boo caught me Slipp.
Starting point is 00:15:10 What is it? Slipping. Like, spelled slipping, but sleeping. It was just a, I don't know, man. I don't know. I really don't know anymore.
Starting point is 00:15:20 I'm going to crash my car later. Jack Nicholson dies. That did not happen. I meant Diane Keaton. I'm going to bump that one up to next year. Well, I had Diane Keaton, but... You did, really? No, you didn't.
Starting point is 00:15:32 I'm making a joke. When we make, you know, it is a bit sexy of us. It's sexy. It's sexy when you make celebrity death estimates. You tend to go for males. You don't tend to guess females. Women live longer. Women do live longer, but I think it's, it is sexy. Is that true? Do women live longer? Yeah, women live longer. Let's see. Yes, globally, females generally live longer than males by about five to six years on average. There you have it, folks. And that's why we're sexy. someone dies in a Mr. Beast challenge. That didn't happen. God, that would have been I know. It's bound to happen. Did you see
Starting point is 00:16:14 the Patriot games? Did I see that? Yeah. I couldn't tell I just, because it didn't get enough fanfare, I was like, is this real? Well, I mean, it is hard to tell what is real. What kind of games are they going to be playing? I had a hard time with the... Jimmy Fallon hosting it.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Okay. I saw a video of him playing beer pong with Timothy Shalome. And I just couldn't help but think, this is the luckiest guy in the way. I mean, this is just... So, Timothy, what was it like having to learn guitar while you're on the set of dude? He's not even asking questions. That's the thing. They're just like, oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:16:57 I just can't believe this is the... Well, you've bounced it and I swatted it away. Unbelievable. Oh, elbows. Elbows. But yeah, between the Patriot games and the plaques, I'm sure you saw the plaques. Oh, on the president thing? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:13 Pathetic. Just such a... At first, I genuinely thought the plaques were AI generated. Yeah. Because I just couldn't... My brain couldn't comprehend that he basically... Almost like they were truths, like Donald Trump truths, but under presidents. And I was like, that's very funny that someone said he would do that.
Starting point is 00:17:34 But he's just actually doing those things. Did you see... The Barack Obama one is obviously psychotic. Did you see the... I can't tell if it's real. The one for Andrew Jackson? No. I really only saw the Obama one.
Starting point is 00:17:45 The Andrew Jackson one, it was like... Andrew Jackson, da, da, da, da, da, just like President Donald Trump. The media, and in Jackson's time was also unfair to him. Just like President Donald Trump. And it's just... Oh, my God. I don't know how... Not the guy you want to do just like...
Starting point is 00:18:04 like Andrew Jackson. I mean, one of the scariest guys in the world. He's $20 bill, right? Yeah. Yeah. That's him.
Starting point is 00:18:13 You know, I see cash so infrequently. I can't remember the last time I held a $20 bill in my head. This is Andrew Jackson. On the front and the bignette
Starting point is 00:18:23 of the White House on the back. Okay. When's the last time you had a crisp $20 bill on your hand? Brother. I always have one on hand.
Starting point is 00:18:33 No, I just have a ton of $5 bills in my car for parking here. Let's see. Ben finds wife next. He came close a couple times. Who's to say? Maybe Doug was the wife along the way. Maybe the friends we made was the wife all along the way.
Starting point is 00:18:55 What? What's the expression? Maybe something was the friends we made all along? You know what I'm talking? Maybe the destination was the journey we took to get there. Yeah, that's right. Bitcoin at 200K could not be more. I think we're sitting at about 87K.
Starting point is 00:19:10 The thing is flirting with an absolute crash. And I am here for it. Luigi Manjone gets off plus copycat killers. The copycat killers is wrong. It's seeming more and more likely that... I haven't been paying attention. But I'm sure he doesn't get convicted. There's so many things that are getting tossed out.
Starting point is 00:19:30 The cops did so many shady things. They did a veritable O.J. Simmel. And it's going to be hard for them to get away with this stuff because it's so high profile. There's very weird body camera footage. I mean, of course, cops are just turning it off, which I love that. That's a feature of body cams. They're like, we'll just outfit every cop with body cams. And cops have just been like, well, I'm going to do something illegal.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Might as well. Shut that off. Hey, shut off your body cam for a sec. Okay. Dude, dude, do it, turn him back on. They did some very strange things with how they handled the evidence, basically going through his bags. And there's also, God, they did something really stupid with his,
Starting point is 00:20:18 the way they were recording him when they were interviewing him and stuff. And it basically went against, I think, Pennsylvania law. So so many things. Question, do you think he actually did it? Or is he a patsy? I don't know. people have really pointed out that the original image they have
Starting point is 00:20:36 of that guy checking out of I don't know if it was a hostel or some kind of hotel or something people have kind of pointed out that the upper part of the face does not really match Luigi Manjones but if he was a patchy don't you think he'd be like
Starting point is 00:20:51 shouting it from the rooftops and being like get me out of here I'm innocent I think he's said as much as I think he's been like you know, I'm not the guy. Interest. We'll find out.
Starting point is 00:21:07 I hope he gets off. Obviously, I've, a big, a pet issue for me is the anti-Italian sentiment in this country, and I'd like to see a good Guinea go free. You know what I mean? Drones, we all remember the drones. That's one that just came away. Remember, you lost months of your lives to those drones?
Starting point is 00:21:24 Months of my life. No, no. Days, weeks at most. You lost weeks. It was captivating. A bunch of people experiencing mass schizophrenia at the same time. They were searching for a dirty bomb, is what my guess was. And that turned out to be incorrect.
Starting point is 00:21:42 They just were... There's no... There's not even an answer. Nope. I don't think so. It could have been a dirty bomb. Dirty bomb. But maybe not. Biden dies, and Trump dies a week later of a broken heart.
Starting point is 00:21:58 That one's a joke, but... Did not happen. I feel like Biden could have died and we honestly just wouldn't have heard about it. Yeah. In my mind, Biden was dead. He's been, he's been. In my heart, Biden's dead. 7-0 earthquake in California did not happen.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Still waiting for it, though. It's bound to happen. Vivek Ramoswema-Lamand-Ding-dong arrested. No, way off on that one. He did write an op-ed calling out the anti-Indian sentiment that is rammed. across the GOP to which I say
Starting point is 00:22:34 also still you made your bed now sleep in it bitch still very much oh I can't stand the the the like people of color
Starting point is 00:22:47 or LGBT community people who are like trying to reform the Republican Party and be like we need to talk about the no you need to talk about
Starting point is 00:22:56 how you're hanging out with Nazis and going I think I'm one of the good ones. I think we might have. I'm one of the good ones. Fartcoin hits $5. Did not even come close to happening.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Who knew Fartcoin would just be a little squeaker and hardly go away? TikTok banned. Couldn't be further from the truth. It sort of happened for a brief moment. For a brief moment. For a brief moment. It's still a real will they, won't they? But it seems like it's going to be, it's going to just turn into some weird milk toast U.S. version.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Toast. I want some toast. I used to have cinnamon toast. My mom used to make me cinnamon toast. With sugar and cinnamon? Yeah. Butter. Butter on that shit. Home pride was the bread?
Starting point is 00:23:44 Home pride. Home pride. It came in a yellow bag. Do they still make it? Fuck if I know, brother. Serious side effects from OZempec. Yeah, dead wrong on that. Not necessarily.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Yeah. Absolutely. there are not serious side effects from Mozambic. That guy, Dr. Mark Hyman, seems to think there aren't. The guy with the vagina name? Vigina doctor over there. Dr. Freddie Forskin says
Starting point is 00:24:15 that... But no, we have not seen mass mass side effects from... Fortunately. That's good. That is good. Well, except for some people, the one serious side effect? Everybody's sexy, no. Have you had any real-life encounters
Starting point is 00:24:35 where you've genuinely, maybe someone you haven't seen in months and you genuinely could not recognize them because of OZempec? I'm trying to think of anybody. No. I had at least one where it was a friend of a friend's partner and we were at a party
Starting point is 00:24:56 and I just literally had to ask someone and go, is that... Is that her? They look completely different. I maybe hadn't seen them in... I don't know how long. It's crazy how it just transforms your... O-Zimpy.

Starting point is 00:27:41 Sing along It's the year in review It's been nice knowing you Now it's what was it I'm to say goodbye I've got a sty in my eye I get styes on my eyelids all the time. That can't be true.
Starting point is 00:27:58 I see you all the time and I can't... Well, no, they're tiny. The tiny little bumps on your eyelids and it makes it feel like you've got something in your eye. I don't know if that's a... Stai. Yeah, but styes are usually visible and... Tiny.
Starting point is 00:28:14 They can be big and invisible, but these ones are just like, oh, man, it's annoying. But what's great, they go away after like a day. I like how you were so concerned that we were taking too long on the bingo thing. No, but then you set me straight. And you were like, well, can just go into the bonus.
Starting point is 00:28:28 And I said, okay. So I'm taking my sweet time. Yeah, I feel like you should count yourself lucky. When the sty is big and visible, it's one of the grossest things. It's so uncomfortable. Type eyelid sty. That's not something I want to see. Eyelid.
Starting point is 00:28:47 And sty is spelled. S-T-Y-E. Yes. I don't think you even need to put eyelid because they're always... Yeah, a sty on the eyelid is a painful. red pimple-like bump, often due to bacterial, like, staff. What the fuck? Yeah, what do you do? I don't have staff. Well, you shouldn't get styes all the time. Yeah, I get them pretty frequently. Do you tell a doctor? Like once a week. Not once a week. Yeah. You get sties
Starting point is 00:29:11 once a week. There's no way. Yeah. How often can you get sties on eyes? I just typed it and it said go to the doctor. I've got to clean my eyelids regularly. What the fuck? I mean, I just, do you wash your face or anything? Yeah. Okay, so someone on optometry, R slash optometry, says, theories for what might be causing my recurrent styes.
Starting point is 00:29:40 I'm on my million stye, and I'm just desperate for answers. Lack of blinking when on screens can be a part of it, medications, diet, skin conditions like... I'm just staring at mentally unwell people. on just not blinking I
Starting point is 00:29:57 you know maybe it's the gym and I'm like but I try to like when I rub my eyes use my knuckles yeah you go to the gross gym oh yeah my gym is disgusting it's disgusting
Starting point is 00:30:08 I'm the only person who puts down a towel before I use the machines everyone's walking around with swollen eyes dude I saw a guy I hate this so much much. I saw a guy bench pressing, bald dude, head is just glistening, lays down on the bench,
Starting point is 00:30:30 leaves a veritable puddle. And then this other guy comes up. You do, that is nasty. Doesn't even, doesn't, the first guy didn't wipe it off. People at my gym are very good about it. It's, it's, it's, it's, I will say, though, the gym is very good about provide, they make it very easy. So does mine. And for the most part, most people, I notice everybody's got their little cleaning towel and they clean up. off after themselves. But this poor schmuck went to lay down and I almost, before I could say like, hey man, you sweat that off. There's still sweat there. He just put his head down where the guy's head sweat was. And I just was like, oh, bother. Oh, I went, I went Winnie the poo on this man.
Starting point is 00:31:09 I just went, oh, bother. And I just looked away. And I put down, they give you two different kind of towels at your request. They get you the little one to wipe things down or they give you a big like bath towel. The bath towel is meant for taking a shower, but I use it to put it down on everything and anything when I have to sit and put my body on it. Because I don't want to deal with that shit. And then I don't have to wipe it off afterwards. It's a double whammy. I just realized because we didn't even explain it, but the, it's so weird, the Patriot games thing. I Google it. It's just like, will your teen be selected for Patriot games? What we know. Shut the fuck up. It's basically two high school students.
Starting point is 00:31:50 from every state are going to awesome high school sports one boy and one girl from each state are going to what uh finger fuck each other thumb rustle i i actually kind of think it's a little fun yeah sure i guess they should have to kill each other they should why not hungry game style yeah full on hungry games january first i'll be written for the new jersey gang yeah yeah you know, I'll be rooting for whoever is the biggest. I want the biggest boy and the biggest girl to win. Just the biggest ones. What if someone dies in the Patriot Games?

January 1st, we kicked off last year. I totally forgot about this. We started the year off with a classic terrorist attack. the New Orleans truck attack
Starting point is 00:32:51 do you guys remember that wasn't that fun and on the same day lib Twitter was definitely having a field day with this one because there was
Starting point is 00:33:02 the cyber truck explosion outside of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas which was in liberal Twitter was like wow could this be

Starting point is 00:33:55 we're like it's a start of a new year it's gonna be a fun time whatever we were all just talking about and then just everything got flipped upside down yeah and then that same day
Starting point is 00:34:07 Greenland the remember the whole Greenland acquisition nonsense Donald Trump Jr. went out there that was fun uh January 15th RFK Jr. your band red number three.
Starting point is 00:34:19 And then TikTok went offline on January 18th. Briefly. Two days later, January 20th, Trump took office, immediately pardoned 1,500 of the January 6thers, established the Gulf of America. And Doge was created. God, I'd like to see the stats on how many of the 1,500 January 6thers ended up back in jail.
Starting point is 00:34:43 It's crazy. I think there are a few and a few committed suicide. okay the suicide's not funny no but what is funny is the ones who like repeat offenders just genuinely cannot they yearn for the bars
Starting point is 00:34:57 like the videos of I feel like I've seen videos of of guys getting pulled over and they're like please don't fucking do this dude I got out from January 6th stuff don't fucking do this to me it's like dude what are you doing
Starting point is 00:35:13 I just drank a little little and I'm driving home. What's the big deal at six miles? Just let me go. Fuck. Fuck you, sir. But I respect all police, but also you're the deep state. Speaking of deep.
Starting point is 00:35:32 January 27, Deep Seek. Invidia dropped $600 billion in value. The biggest single day drop in value in history. Yeah. again it's all blips it's like how you talk about everyone everything is just bullish it's it's
Starting point is 00:35:50 nothing didn't matter uh january 29th we had that famous midair plane collision in dc with the military jet over the potomac ring back woke bring yeah due to DEI both planes crashed or the plane crashed no it's because they weren't we need black pilots yeah well the pilot pilot was black and the helicopter was trans and um they blew up February 1st we kicked off the tariffs
Starting point is 00:36:24 baby oh my God I left out a lot of them because it just kept on it's so much it just kept on tacking them on there was a lot that happened this year there were some random deaths of just like random people it was just like
Starting point is 00:36:37 a plane accident killed one person in Utah And it's like, why does this make the list? Yeah, this doesn't count. And then there were a couple days, because I pulled, admittedly, I pulled these all off of 2025 Wikipedia. There were days where nothing happened. Well, some things happened.
Starting point is 00:36:53 It would be like June 8th and 9th. I'm not, I'm just pulling that out of my ass. But I'd be like, why did they have, there's nothing on this Wikipedia for like June 8th and 9th? Nothing of note happened those days? You'd think something happened every single goddamn day. Put me on there for Christ's sake. I'm sure something happened.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Yeah, but nobody's recording it. We're talking world news, though. Well, some of it isn't world news. This was U.S. I focused on U.S. Yeah, of course. I liked this one. February 11th, there was a hacktivist group called... I didn't even know about this. I didn't know about this either.
Starting point is 00:37:29 A hacktivist group called Puppy Girl Hacker Polycule. Leaked 8,000 police manual and training docs, which is like, why? Why do we care about police manuals? Uh, probably because of, um... They say, like, if they're brown, take them down. Well, Jesus Christ, dude.
Starting point is 00:37:49 That's... If they're white, wish them a good night. That's pretty good. Is that, is that why, probably? I think they're, like, you know, trying to make these things public to see what is actually going on in, uh... You know, these closed behind doors. Due to kill, enjoy the thrill. Got any more?
Starting point is 00:38:09 Uh... Uh... Uh. RFK was confirmed as Secretary of the HHS on February 13th. That was fun. Nothing bad came of that. And Zelensky had the meeting at the White House on February 28th when everybody was like, Sir, why didn't you wear a suit today?
Starting point is 00:38:32 And J.D. Vance was like, why didn't you thank us? No, why didn't you thank us, though? You bitch? And then, yeah, that was painful. That was a painful watch. So much shit happened this year. March 1st. Have you been watching the Olivia Nutsi?
Starting point is 00:38:46 No. She fucked RFK? I assume so. But yeah, that's the whole... I don't know who she is. I've heard her name. She was a reporter. And then she...
Starting point is 00:39:01 Fucked a source. Yeah, but first she was dating another older reporter who, I think, was married. He left his wife and children for her. And so there was already a scandal around. her and then it just further devolved into this thing that I believe she was sleeping with multiple sources and is now writing this
Starting point is 00:39:19 uh, it's now writing this kind of, what's the book? American Canto or whatever. Wasn't she involved with Anthony Wiener? Did she? Oh, oh, I guess she worked on the campaign. I don't think she slept with him or anything. He looks like a turtle. I hate this guy. He looks like a fucking
Starting point is 00:39:35 turtle. He's an American politician and sex offender. How are you not dead, sir? I mean, how do you continue to live? He just ran for office. What are you thinking? I know. I'm like, just go away, dude.
Starting point is 00:39:48 You've completely embarrassed yourself. How do you not kill yourself? You pull up your own Wikipedia. Scroll those up. Well, I mean, I don't know. Anthony David Wiener is an American politician and sex offender from the state of New York. A Democrat. Weiner has served on the New York City Council.
Starting point is 00:40:08 Oh, okay. In the U.S. House of Representatives. Oh, he is known for his involvement in multiple sex scandals. Ah, one of which led to his resignation. Jesus, dude. I mean, this guy is pathological. He can't help it. It's like he's just, he's got to text pictures of his cock to underage women.
Starting point is 00:40:28 His claims were published that he, he had engaged in sexting with a 15-year-old girl. Devices owned by Weiner were seized as part. Also, why are you not pronouncing it whiner? you could easily get away with saying actually it's whiner instead of weaner god you what a fucking that'd be like if my last name were spelled um fucking i don't know vagina butthole and i was like i was like do you do i want to go around calling myself ben butthole or do i want to say it's buttole like and this guy's just you got to go buttole but he's like no i'm going to just go with ween
Starting point is 00:41:09 Ben-Batole. It's very Dr. Spichemin. Who? Did you watch 30 Rock? No. Oh. But I've seen episodes. Tell me.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Tracy is at some point having a freak out, and he's like... Really? Please, call my doctor, call Dr. Spaceman. And they think... He's just being crazy or whatever. And his name is spelled like Spaceman, but it's Pichemann. Dr. Spichaman. That's very funny.
Starting point is 00:41:47 Well, you've got to watch 30. I do, I do. It's incredible. It's so funny. Yeah. Okay. So March 1st, in a win for everyone, English was declared our official language. We got the Gulf of America.
Starting point is 00:42:01 We got English, the official language. We also got the Bitcoin Reserve started on March 6th. That was fun. Huge. And I really liked this. on March 12th, Idaho made the firing squad the official form of execution.
Starting point is 00:42:18 So much fucked up shit. And I left out a lot that were like flags prohibited from being flown at federal buildings including Black Lives Matter and like LGBTQ flags and in Utah
Starting point is 00:42:31 like schools aren't allowed to do that anymore and 10 commandments being forced to be in like Florida and shit. I don't know. America is a strange, funny place. It's a big place with a lot of different people. Do you say, brother, amen. It's just.
Starting point is 00:42:50 It's a strange, big place with a lot of people. Well, I don't know. I do feel like other countries, at least. Obviously, people are different all over the country. Black, white. No, no, like, pick a country. Anyway, I'm like, I feel like they probably share more. characteristics than
Starting point is 00:43:11 Americans. I think everybody universally doesn't like Romanian gypsies. Why'd you say, oh? I mean, they definitely face a lot of discrimination. Yeah, I saw a video of this
Starting point is 00:43:28 there was a, I mean, people are very open about it. I have a very... It's wild. I'm like, wow, damn. Everybody's like, no, we all pretty much agree. you don't want they even exist I don't even understand I remember
Starting point is 00:43:43 I was young and I was in Greece and kind of talking to people about racism in Europe and how it is and everything like that and someone was like thinking for a while
Starting point is 00:43:55 and they were like well you know we have racism but then someone just flat out went well we obviously don't like gypsies I remember in high school girls were obsessed with dressing um like kind of a fleetwood mac gypsy woman type type vibe you know yeah but
Starting point is 00:44:15 that's all i guess the only reason i brought this up is because i i saw a video on redid the other day of uh a security camera in a tiny little shop in the netherlands or something and it was one of those like uh honor system shops where you you're meant to take what you want and then pay and this this this couple comes in and they and it's very funny because I felt the same way at first the guy just like takes all the eggs like carton after carton after carton
Starting point is 00:44:48 and he first checks and he's talking to his wife and he's like nobody's around he's basically saying nobody's around we can just take this shit nobody's going to stop us unbelievable so they just start taking all the eggs but then they just keep coming back and they clear out the entire shop of everything. And I went into the comments and people were the same thing.
Starting point is 00:45:15 They're like, Jesus, I thought he was going to stop at the eggs. He just kept coming back. There's a whole fridge full of produce. They just steal all of it. And then someone said, these look like Romani gypsies. People are just, and then they're just. say like, yeah, it's no surprise. It's just unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:45:40 What sub-right were you in? I think it was, I think I'm the main character or something like that. It's basically when people have main character energy, and they essentially think that rules don't apply to them. So it's a lot of like people going out in public and doing embarrassing, humiliating things. Anyway, Corey Booker did his 25-hour speech that definitely did something. It set the record. He fixed it.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Set the record. Also, got married. Congrats to Cory Booker. Who do you get married to you? Some very pretty woman. A lot of people, a lot of people say he's a... Gay? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:20 That it's a beard. But I don't really know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't speak to it. But Corey, I hope you're happy. Cory Buchar. April 2nd, Liberation Day started. More tariffs.
Starting point is 00:46:33 10% baseline for all imports. and the markets fell precipitously the next day. April 16th, I forgot about this. All of Puerto Rico lost power. Fucking sucks. Just there. Van as president, they come in. Puerto Rico lost all power.
Starting point is 00:46:57 That fucking sucks. What am I supposed to? Turn it back on. What are I supposed to do? also throughout going through this list so many companies pledging tens of billions of dollars in U.S. investments and it just as you're going through the list
Starting point is 00:47:14 you're like none of this means anything oh it's it's that Mark Zuckerberg thing where he's where he's did you want me to say 500? I didn't know how much you wanted me to say they're just saying numbers it's so infuriating it's the you know the publicity presidency
Starting point is 00:47:32 yeah jerking off Trump That's how you would do it? I'd get down on my knees. It seems like you would... Like good luck. Like a salt shaker. Because you know it's going to come out like dust. Ew.
Starting point is 00:47:43 That's how you'd do it. Ew. God, he probably gets one good spurt and it's just goopy. I know. What is wrong with you? I know. Why did you say that? Did you see the trailer for the Melania movie?
Starting point is 00:47:58 Yes. Hello? Hello? is good to be here I kind of want to see it such an empty vessel they're trying to make her look like this
Starting point is 00:48:11 I know they do kind of they do kind of a good job they do they make it look I'm like wow she really is an impressive well she's busy yeah she's busy she's fashionable hello hi
Starting point is 00:48:24 oh my god here we go again wait wait wait we're probably not going to be able to play this audio are we there's no music I don't know. Yeah, there is. Hello.
Starting point is 00:48:36 She's kind of doing like a Luigi or something. Here we go again. Here we go. Oh, man. Is me, Melania Trump. She's just, I mean, maybe she's great. I don't know. You are peacemaker.
Starting point is 00:48:55 You've been in this country, sorry, but you've been in this country this long, and you haven't shed a lick of that accent. that's the last thing I'm taking issue with your English has got to have gotten better there's no way you stay fine it doesn't seem that good do you not have any like friends with immigrant parents who have been here forever and still have an accent yeah so what
Starting point is 00:49:18 but it is interesting because some people lose their accents yeah some people do and some people don't which is wild but then how often do you see like Americans go to other countries and gain an accent that's the equivalent thing yeah it doesn't often happen yeah isn't that wild i'm confused about what you're saying like what if i moved to to australia i would have an accent to australians but after 20 years if i lost my accent and aka i started talking
Starting point is 00:49:46 yeah i don't really know that many people who lose their accents i feel like most people some people do but i i shouldn't say accent but her english just seems very still very poor the way she phrases things Be best Be best But I think it was a play on Michelle Obama's Be Better Oh my God
Starting point is 00:50:11 So of course it's all got to be petty vindictive Also I mean Trump is not like a master of words You look at those They said Trump himself wrote a lot of these plaques And it's like yeah we can tell Yeah, no kidding.
Starting point is 00:50:27 They're just run-on sentences, you know, and he's a... The bottom of the Obama one is just racism, stuff. Also, just make bigger plaques. Why do two plaques? Yeah, well, because they're stupid. The plaque can be as big as you want. It's your plaque. You're making the plaque.
Starting point is 00:50:42 They made it seem like, shit, we ran out of space on that plaque. Yeah. Wow, you're right. Look at that, too. Just make a... Obama. Just make a larger plaque. He presided over a stagnant,
Starting point is 00:50:56 economy approved the terrible Iran nuclear deal and signed the one-sided Paris climate accords, both of which were later terminated. God, what a fucking moron. Also crazy to put, and one of the most divisive political figures in American history. Yeah, why? They are really written like truths. As president, he passed the highly ineffective, unaffordable act, in quotes. He's doing his own editorializing on these things. Under Obama, the ISIS caliphate, Right across the Middle East, Libya collapsed in the chaos, and Russia invaded and took Crimea and Ukraine. He crippled small businesses with crushing regulation. It's a devastated American coal miners and weaponized the IRS.
Starting point is 00:51:40 And, oh, my God, dude. Oh. And just, I mean, all of this is. Oh, and presided over the creation of the Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. Isn't that crazy to put? He's like a dumb old child. he really oh all right enough what else his handpick successor to Hillary Rodham Clinton would then lose to the presidency to Donald J. Trump unbelievable suck my balls imagine
Starting point is 00:52:08 being like and hey we could get another plaque I got a lot to say on this one um may first oh by the way there were also way too many shootings to list um it would just be like shooting five people mass shooting 12 people someone got shot someone got shot shooting shooting shooting lots of them May 1st we lost funding for NPR and PBS I believe they have until next year
Starting point is 00:52:38 before they are officially cut we got a noopope that was fun the new boat like that a lot of people watched what's the movie cavaclate or something like that oh the clavicle Conclave
Starting point is 00:52:53 We all had fun with that I had no desire to watch that shit It was pretty good Ray Fienes being like What are we going to do? Is that how you say it? A new fiends? Yeah
Starting point is 00:53:04 Fiends? What do you think? I thought it was fine Oh maybe I'm wrong It's Fiends? No, keep going I want to see it. Pronunciation

Starting point is 00:54:23 and I have met other rapes spelled Ralph that was the old way to pronounce Ralph he said rave and I've always had to deal with this question okay he didn't get around to his last name
Starting point is 00:54:40 it seems like the guy in front said fine anyway so yeah so May 15th and 16th there was a major tornado outbreak across the Midwest in Ohio Valley in 27 people were killed. That wasn't fun. I didn't even hear about that. I don't even remember that.
Starting point is 00:54:57 Apparently. I actually don't remember that either. Brutal. May 17th, that Mexican Navy ship crashed in the Brooklyn Bridge. That one was crazy. Yeah. A couple of people died. May 28th, Elon stepped down from the Trump administration. Big day for the people who were tweeting pictures of the blown-up cyber truck in front of Trump hotel. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:20 Big day. people. Big, big, big. Big day for everyone. I mean, get that absolute freak out of politics. Yeah. June the 5th, Elon and Trump's social media feud begins. Very fun day.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Over the big, beautiful bill. And that's when Elon fully saying, Trump's in the Epstein files. He's a pedo. He's a pedo guy. What a fucking you're the richest man in the world and the most powerful man in the world. Acting

Starting point is 00:56:26 Whatever you want to say, you get to make it. June 14th, we had that pathetic Army 250 birthday parade. That rocked. Coinciding with Trump's birthday. And the no-king's protest. You know what we get this year is the... I don't know what you called. It's not the bicentennial, but it's 250 years.

Oh, because it's half of 500. Yeah, semi-Quincennial. I remember my doctor's office growing up, Dr. Nation. He had a 200th birthday. Dr. Nation? Yeah, his name was Dr. Nation.
Starting point is 00:57:14 N-A-O-N-H-I-O-N. Yeah, Dr. Nord Nation. You know, it felt like, like, it was one of of those weird things of synchronicity because he was black and he was um hang on caribbean from jamaica i believe hold on and well then growing up you know i was watching the simpsons and dr hibbert he reminded me a dr hibbert and i was like i just didn't even it was just like oh yeah doctor nation and dr hibbert same black doctor did he have an accent a little bit he was like why don't you speak english better motherfucker Why do you still have an accent? He always smelled so good and he was so nice.
Starting point is 00:57:55 I loved that, man. He died a few years ago. RIP indoctrination. Big ups to the big man. But he had a, the 200th thing in it, and it's, I remember always being like, how do you say that? It was one of those bi-esquicentennial things. Bicentennial? No, but it was a, maybe that's, maybe that is what it was.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Yeah, bicentennial. But as a toddler, I was like, I don't want to be able to pronounce. fucking word man how do you pronounce that shit dude if they tried to have a bicentennial now the right wing would freak out you'd have to call it like two centennial they're like ain't no way 200 years it's gonna be bye that's very good man queer might as well call it gay centennial gay queer centennial you can do it rainbow pride centennial fuck you july 4th apropos of um july 4th we had the big beautiful bill signed into law it's all happening folks I'm, July 4th through 7th, 135 people killed in central Texas floods.

Starting point is 00:59:08 And Ted Cruz. Well, I'm Ted Cruz. It's my impression of Ted Cruz. It's like that character from Rick and Mori, the... Oh, Mr. Meeseeks. I'm Mr. Meeseeks. Look at me. July 7th, Measles cases reached a 33-year high
Starting point is 00:59:32 in the United States with 1,281 cases. Trump promised we're going to keep winning. We're going to be winning so much that you're going to get tired of winning. And promises made promises kept. All right. We're setting records. We're doing it.
Starting point is 00:59:44 Yeah. Number go up, even if it's bad number. numbers will always go up July 9th Linda Yakarino out from X now she's nowhere to be seen and heard from
Starting point is 00:59:58 she's probably so fucking glad I was going to say I bet she's just living life imagine not interacting with Elon Musk going from interacting with Elon Musk constantly and being in the public spotlight for that and then just not doing that and still being
Starting point is 01:00:13 banked up I bet it's so nice and so fun to be like at her house for Christmas and stuff and just hearing all the dirt over a glass of wine. Oh, I bet it's so fucking juicy. I bet it's so good. Ugh.
Starting point is 01:00:31 Trump sues Rupert Murdoch on July 18th for $10 billion after the Wall Street Journal did their Epstein birthday card thing featuring Trump's some weird repubescent girl drawing of like... It's also like, dude, get better.
Starting point is 01:00:47 at drawing boobs it's not that hard well i think that's the point is that they didn't have developed rest it's a weird thing they share this they share this common thing we're enigmas if you know what i mean yes i know what you mean i forgot what the rest was i hated that uh in july 24th skydance and paramount i forgot that that happened this year really we talk about it constantly no i yeah but i forgot that this one happened this year. Skydance and Paramount had their $8 billion merger approved. There's just so many fucking mergers, man. Oh, yeah. How many things going on?
Starting point is 01:01:26 Antitrust is dead. Yeah. GPT5 got launched on August 7th. August 14th, the Navy and Marines deployed 4,500 soldiers to the Southern Caribbean for anti-drug trafficking operations. Oh, I liked this. Mark David Chapman was denied parole again. Remind me who he is?
Starting point is 01:01:48 He killed John Lennon. Oh, let him out. We've all got a little crazy. Who's the other assassin that got let out? You're thinking of the guy who shot Reagan, John Hinkley? Yeah, now he's like doing... Music? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:06 He's got out of jail. He was like, come see me in concert. It's kind of cool. I'm singing all the songs I wrote for Jody Foster. Jody... Yeah, sure. I went a little crazy. But who didn't? It was a crazy time. It was a crazy time.
Starting point is 01:02:21 Man, oh man. That is wild that you can shoot the president and still get out of jail. It was overcome by Jody Foster's screen presence. I just, I'm just shocked. I would think that that's like, no, automatic life sentence. Attempted attempted assassination. We all saw her performance in... you're you're the you're the southern defense attorney your honor i'm just one cannot deny
Starting point is 01:02:54 the gravitational pull of miss jody foster's performances he'll and as you can see my client was just one of many to have succumbed to her uh charms wheeling in a old tv to show uh show the jury tick-tock fan cams of Jody Joddy Foster. Who among us has not been tempted to assassinate Ronald Reagan after seeing this young beauty hill? That's what's so funny about, I mean, I probably fell victim to this a little bit as well, but, you know, we have these high-profile assassinations, obviously the Charlie Kirk one, obviously Thomas Crooks with Donald Trump.
Starting point is 01:03:38 oftentimes these are just disturbed people and I think it's like people are like I need to fit it into this narrative I need it all to make perfect sense it's like sometimes the guy just wanted to get Jody Foster's attention you know what I mean
Starting point is 01:03:53 It'd be funny if the guy shooting Trump this time had a sense of humor and also said it was Jody Foster why not fuck it keep it going She's still got it going on Why not Keep it going
Starting point is 01:04:06 She's a full on full blend Imagine if every president since Reagan has been shot, and the guy was like, I'm fucking cuckoo bananas for Jody Foster. Okay, here's the deal. At a certain point, people are going to start asking Jody Foster, what the fuck's going on? What kind of shampoo are you using? And she's like, I have a certain effect on an unwell man.
Starting point is 01:04:27 I'm a lesbian. We're approaching the end of this episode, actually. Which means that if you want the rest of this, you follow us into the boat, bonus on Ben and a Mealshow.com. Because we're also going to cover the deaths. There's some big deaths this year, some of whom I forgot.
Starting point is 01:04:50 And we'll round out the rest of this list. What do you reckon? I reckon we will. I reckon it's going to be very fun. Oh, and I also have a couple things, funny things for de Bonas. Some young white boys in the South Bay

Starting point is 01:05:33 these will these will make you bike faster and jump higher. All right. What should we say to round it out there, Emil? We should say, well, it's not the end of the year. We should have said something in the last episode. Well, it's not the end of the year for us, but it is for them when they get this. It's the end of the year for us.
Starting point is 01:05:55 It's the beginning of the year for them. Oh, right. The year just began for that. No. No. I would say. Shut the fuck up in 2026. Yeah, everyone honestly, that's a good.
Starting point is 01:06:06 That's good advice. Be quiet. Everybody shut up this year. I think we could all do with some. Everyone be quiet. Everybody shut the hell up this year. Be quiet. Leave people alone.
Starting point is 01:06:18 Stay out of people's business. Yeah. Maybe we make that everyone's 2026. And stop making my clothes feel like my skin is itchy. That one's specific to Ben. It sucks. I feel like I want to take off my shirt, but I can't. Why?
Starting point is 01:06:36 because it would be inappropriate Everyone be quiet Be cool in public spaces Just fucking chill Get headphones Everyone invest in headphones If anyone text you and is like Hey I want to get you a belated Christmas present

No, while you were talking, Sure, I was doing, I was faking doing a blood job, but I was actually riveted by what you're saying. It's because I'm half mentally gone right now. We could have powered the world forever with no money. And there's a lot of people with vested interests. Oh, look at this.
Starting point is 01:08:21 There's an ad for a forever. Do you want to suck a cock? Is that way you keep doing that? No. No. Isn't it weird how you don't ever, when it's sexy time, you never refer to your stuff as a penis?
