we're recording this back in 2017 yeah actually yeah we just met this random woman named becca on the street yeah she's just born she's a newborn child uh it's miles and jack and we're thrilled to be joined by super's producer anna hosnier and becca ramo hello what's up guys hello hi are you predicting hi hey all right hi so is everybody everybody got their prediction muscles warmed up yeah all right so if you didn't listen to yesterday's episode we talked about the worst predictions that were made for 2022 and how on our our last year's predictions episode we we nailed it. We predicted the Russian invasion of Ukraine. I predicted a bunch of vague shit that was vague enough to be true.

And I'm planning to do that again for 2023. But we also covered all the ways that the mainstream media writes these articles unaccountably. Can I say i predicted that there would be a giant wave and then that berlin aquarium burst just saying yeah said i'm seeing giant waves did you really in germany everyone was like what isn't germany mostly landlocked you're like hey you remember that you know wait you really can't talk to these visions i said there would be we would all die in a giant wave but oh shit luckily that part didn't come true. You said that about 2022. And that Berlin Aquarium burst right on time for it to work for my prediction.

Have you been there? Because I know you go to Germany. I actually have, and it's really sad that that thing broke because it was really cool to look at. The photo I was saying on the trending episode when it happened, it looks like a futuristic machine or something that's powered by water. I had to text all my friends this morning in Berlin and be like,

are you guys okay? They're like, yeah. Well, we're all going to be living in the giant aquarium of Avatar 2. People are listening to this. Beyond that, that is one prediction I'll take. We will all watch Avatar 2 and People are listening to this. Beyond that, that is one prediction I'll take. We will all watch Avatar 2 and not want to leave. Just generally, the vibes

in the mainstream media predictions for 2023 seem to be much the same as years past. A lot of people think it's going to be similar or worse than before, but our experts are saying it's going to slightly better um with no real explanation of how that's gonna happen other than whatever the like tech buzz is of of the

moment right i think baba vanga got some for 2023 all right you want to know i was gonna look up the baba vanga prediction baba vanga for 2023 okay pulling up with some very interesting... Baba Vanga went big for 2022. There were going to be, like, global pandemics that come from thawing ice. Yeah. Maybe they were off by just one year. Actually, Chris Pratt plot. But Baba Vanga, Bulgarian clairvoyant

who predicted her own death, the collapse of the Soviet Union, Stalin's death in 9-11 has basically pulled up for 2023 there will be a solar storm that would damage the earth we have been waiting that for a little bit that uh solar storm is gonna like knock all the tech out so producer brian uh that's all he talks about is that is the solar of the magnetic activity from the sun. There will be a bioweapon incident. Okay. And then the trajectory of the earth will change.

Didn't that kind of happen? The trajectory of the earth will change? But it was like about the angle of the tilt of the earth kind of was wobbling differently in 2022. It was wobbling. I know there was a dam in China that was so big it made the earth wobble but

yeah really yeah very heavy dam that's pretty cool um earth axis change all right whatever i don't know look this is we can't get into science we're looking at fucking bog posts i don't need to look this shit up you guys look it up it's gonna happen to you you guys look yeah exactly it's 2014 over here but anyway yeah what do we feel just generally i feel like we're on a trajectory where um you know things are getting worse in big ways that nobody's really doing anything about but like the super ego of the media keeps telling us it's gonna be solved by uh neo neoliberalism i'm just going to say neo-nazis and neo-nazis well so one of my predictions for this year does involve the

consolidation and development of fascism but we can get to that later let's start off a little pop culture prediction you already said that okay Okay, sure. 2023. Anna, what, are we going Real Housewives with it? I have a few. First, there's going to be like 14 more Yellowstone prequels, I bet. Taylor Sheridan's going to be the richest man on Earth.

Right. We'll replace Elon Musk. Yeah. Taylor Sheridan will eventually buy Twitter and make it Yellowstone themed. I think Jen Shah, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is going to jail, baby. I think it's happening. I think it is not looking good for her. I agree with that.

And a part of me feels like Donald Glover is potentially the next Jordan Peele, creative wise. I think it's edging in that direction because I feel like he's starting to lose interest in comedy so he's gonna go with like a dark film sure the last few seasons of atlanta have been even further you know a field uh i don't know which direction to say it's going but i mean like it's it was pivoting in a different direction in general. So like what we were used to from the first season that I think like,

he's gonna, I don't know. I, what I'm trying to say is I'm excited for what he comes up with next. Right. There's going to be something. Yeah. Something interesting.

I think Mr. Mrs. Smith is probably the next thing. Most immediate thing. Right. Right. Right. Shout out my hair skin.

Um, what else? What you got? Oh, me. Shit. Uh, honestly, my hair skin um what else what you got oh me shit uh honestly i think taylor swift is gonna get canceled oh my god yes for real i don't know i just feel like the ticket master thing when i saw the fans be like yo what the fuck is this i just saw i began to i began to see the veneer crack a little bit uh but this is also just me having fun.

I think that would be just really interesting, like, if somehow that shit happened. I don't know how. I would be like, yo, what did she say? Who is she dating now? Nick Quentin? Is that some kind of anti-hero where she's like, I have a nightmare that, like, my stepkids, like, kill me for the money or something like that? Yeah, literally. I mean, she kind of wants to like

and she says me i'm the problem it's me she wants to be a villain so yeah it depends on how hard she wants to flirt with that i also predict that coachella this year will be an absolute disaster oh for sure whatever it is i don't know what the fuck it is there's it's gonna be a disaster damn that's nostradamus like just being like i don't know what's gonna happen but at coachella there's gonna be a disaster not that it's no not that there will be a disaster i mean that more in like the slang kind of way like it's gonna be a fucking mess like you got fire fest vibes i'm not wishing anybody ill but i i think they're going to be like wow what a fucking mess and then side note they're going to revive fire fest and it's going to be lit yeah with nfts and uh this is just pop culture are we doing sports that's as its own thing or

should i do sports i think we have sports as its own thing but we can we can do whatever you will no no that's fine uh and no those are my those are those are mine that i'm just kind of feeling that i i would like to see and just so i could laugh at oh i got another one i think nick cannon's gonna have more kids what that's a low ball but he's also did you see he did that interview he's like i'm not spending enough time with my 11 kids or something like that so i think that will continue he's not going to keep spending time with them and then he'll have more well yeah he's for sure not going to keep spending time with his kids um becca how about you okay so i'm going to add on to the not coachella but festivals in general i'm gonna go

hard left here as someone who hates the metaverse. I do think there's going to be some festivals that are in the metaverse this year. Wow. Because, you know, people are, the companies, the corporate people are really trying to make metaverse happen. And I do think there's going to be some sold virtual metaverse experiences. I think Tom Holland and Zendaya are going to get married, but it's going to be like a hard launch vibes. Like, oh, by the way, we have a kid coming. Kind of like, here it is. You know, like Kylie Jenner.

Out of nowhere. Hard launch. Yeah. So that's my fun prediction. Hard launch being like a media blitz type thing? Hard launch, Jack, is the Gen Z term. I didn't even know this either. I'm like, what the fuck is this?

Oh, okay. So, okay. A soft launch is like when you are starting to date someone on Instagram frenzy term uh i didn't even know this either i'm like what the fuck is this oh okay so okay a soft launch is like when you are starting to date someone on instagram and you're like posting them on your stories being like oh yeah yeah i know that okay like hiding them right you know like hand pictures a hard launch is just like nobody knows anything and then all of a sudden it's like oh like a beyonce surprise motherfucker Yeah. So, like, Kylie Jenner famously, like, hit her whole first pregnancy, right? So it was like, she hard launched, like, this is my baby.

And, like, did a little eight-minute video that was one of the most viral posts ever. I think it is in, like, one top 10 Instagram posts of all time. So that's what I think. They're going to, like, hard launch baby and or marriage. Thank you for helping the elderly with that explanation, too.

Yes. I have a prediction. I'm going to start using hard launch a bunch and act like i've always been using it i'm about to hard launch this mountain dew what you won't know i've drank it until it's already down baby what else i don't know those are right Those are my two fun ones. Those are big ones. You got to let those hit you. Yeah. I like just being in the moment and let Baba Vanga hit you. I think there's going to be more celebrity fascism, like more like what we saw with Kanye

and Elon Musk. I think. Ballers versus haters. Yeah. I think there's going to be more ballers versus haters talk. And the days of like only we can only get Jon Voight for this Trump pro Trump mega movie are far behind us. And we're going to start seeing them take some swings in the culture war. Oh, I do think that the rise of the like rich influencer is gonna die like it's slowly like people are

trying to be like we hate watching the kardashians we hate watching rich people just be rich for no fucking reason i do think they're because i feel like there's this bell curve of influencers right it was like you used to have to have like skills to be famous like star power you know like actors used to be like discovered models used to be discovered and skills to be famous, star power. Actors used to be discovered. Models used to be discovered. And then social media came, and then people could just become famous for anything. And now I think we're kind of hitting, in 2023, I think we'll hit another curve of, oh, you can't just become famous anymore.

You have to have a sustainable skill to keep you famous. And that being famous for nothing isn't going to be, especially with the recession, is not going to sustain you famous and that being famous for nothing isn't gonna be especially the recession is not gonna sustain you yeah i think if that happens a lot of those people who are losing their fame and will become the spotlight will turn to fascism and being offensive in order to hold on well i think yeah i think to that point, it's more like that the selfishness of wealthy people is going to manifest in this weird defense. They're going to start more

consolidating their plan of attack, I think. That's interesting. I find fame so subjective. Just the whole... I feel like fame is out... There's no control over fame anymore. It's just like people become famous because like a group of people find them like ironic yeah there's like such like weird

levels of fame where someone's just like i'm famous because like people hate me i don't even get it anymore you're like well why does this person have a following when you're like oh okay they hate me they're weird i mean they're they have a following because they're kind of odd and then there's like other people you're like they're famous because they're like interesting and then there's like they're famous because they are so messy on television and then you're like trisha paytas you know right she's so yeah i mean like people just like follow people and then all of a sudden they're famous and you're like i don't even know what real like fame is anymore like i know what fame like what do we consider actually famous yeah well

there's versions right because you're like someone like trisha paytas is like a schadenfreude type obsession that you're like look at this mess you know what i mean the same way like i watch reality tv it's not because they have a skill i'm like look at this mess yeah uh and that's one version i think if we're talking really like the more i don't know what our traditional definition would be like someone who is exceptional and that's why people celebrate them kind of thing i think going to bravo con really fucked with my idea of what i know is because like the way like these like reality stars were being treated as if they were like presidential candidates who could be assassinated at any moment like the way they were like being moved through rooms i was like security like the amount of like shrieking where i'd be like whoa whoa who is that

captain lee like it was like so strange all those people are in their employ both the security and the shrieking people no here's the thing they weren't the shrieking people paid a lot of money to be there that's the weird part like because i didn't pay i got lucky i got to go but to like witness that i was like but like so all you people are shrieking in dorinda medley's face of real housewives of new york but then half the time you're tweeting like kick her off the show she's an abusive abusive alcoholic. And I'm like, what is real? What are we cheering for? Right, right, right.

What are these people shrieking about? So I think I'm I think I'm unwell. And I think my prediction is that I'm going to be continue to get further unwell as time goes on. And like culture like morphs and continues to morph further into this sort of like blob-tastic spear of nonsense. Anyway, that's my prediction. I'm unwell and I will be further unwell. You will find your truth in the metaverse. I will become a reality TV star who drinks too much.

There you go. My last, last, last prediction is that Beyonce, and I'm a beehive, don't come for me, beehive, that she might have a cancellation with her ticket sales. I think people are starting to get sick of the fact that she is super, super fucking rich and a black idol,

and she's not giving back to the community enough. And I do think if her ticket prices are so crazy and they have a crash, like Ticketmaster with Taylor Swift, that the beehive might cave and they might concave on her so you heard it here first beyonce taylor swift canceled this year these are big fucking swings that's what we do all right i like it we came we came with the big one it's interesting call me erin judge i feel like there's sort of like a push because i constantly

see like beyonce drop the visuals and i'm kind of like yeah i guess of like a push because I constantly see like, Beyonce, drop the visuals. And I'm kind of like, yeah, I guess. But like, I think the music's good on its own. I don't necessarily need visuals. There's such like an intensity to almost every aspect of like need and want. Like the need to go see Taylor Swift live. I'm like, what is this? I don't get it. Again, I'm on it.

go see Taylor Swift live. I'm like, what is it? I don't get it. I get, again, the side of TikTok I've been on has been like heavily critiquing Beyonce's new album in the sense of not the quality of it. Cause it's obviously a really incredibly produced album,

but the lyricism of her talking and like co-opting this like middle-class persona, like needing to break free and like, you know, needing to quit your job because it's not serving you. in reality she like is a billionaire right and what is she doing to give back to the black community and like actually attend to the people that are actually experiencing this lifestyle you know instead of co-opting from them that's the thing we should have been like wait a second when she monetized her husband cheating on her yeah and

had like a marketing team come through and be like and here is how we are going to spin this you are going to make millions off an incredible album about this this indiscretion by jay-z lemonade slaps and there is a darkness layer of what was fed back to us in a marketing attempt to clear their relationship up. That's why I didn't like the Carter's album after it, because it was just like this like PR job of like, okay, we just had lemonade.

We just all experienced this like breakup with Beyonce and this like incredible cheating scandal with Beyonce. And then we're supposed to just believe everything's fine with the Carter's album. No, fuck that shit. I hated that album. I was like,

there's a couple of bops, but like this song, it feels like a press album to be like but we're good we solved it we went to therapy our marriage is fine and we are a solid black family it was like the christmas card picture of an album where it's like look at us exactly but i mean after the tiffany's campaign and like the use of basquiat a lot of people were like started i feel like the black community was actually starting to feel unrest with the you know the carter knowles family they were kind of like okay we are in awe of your talent but like this capitalism shit is starting to get really ugly with us and so i'm curious yeah it's gonna go with the the tour we'll see all right let take a quick break. We'll be back with more hot takes like that.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI

in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey fam, I'm Simone Boyce. I'm Danielle Robay. And we're the hosts of The Bright Side, the daily podcast from Hello Sunshine that is guaranteed to light up your day. Every weekday, we bring you conversations with the culture makers who inspire us. Like a recent episode with Latin Grammy winner, podcast host, and TV personality Chiquis about making a name for herself as the eldest daughter

of beloved singer Jenny Rivera. I'm not afraid. And I think that that's why I've been able to kind of do my own thing and not necessarily stay in my mom's shadow because I'm not afraid. And I think that that's why I've been able to kind of do my own thing and not necessarily stay in my mom's shadow, because I'm not afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone and shaking things up a little bit, because that's the only way I feel that you're going to make history. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that.

I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up?

Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this we passed the review board a year ago we're not hurting people there's nothing dangerous about what you're doing

they're just dreams dream sequence is a new horror thriller from blumhouse television iheart radio and realm listen to dream sequence on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. food predictions. We're going to be seeing a lot of canned fish. They've been saying that for three years. That has been going viral on TikTok. They've been saying that for a minute. But yeah, let's do... I only have one sports thing to say is I think this year

this is the year that the crypto arena will not be... We'll finally have the name changed. Back to circles, you think? I don't know what it is, but there's not going to be crypto.com. Yeah. I don't think there will be a crypto.com to keep paying those bills so what's popping off uh fashion nova fashion nova stadium could you

imagine where the sheehan arena not the sheehan arena the sheehan center wow the wish arena before that you never know you never know but yeah anyway that's the only thing I really have to say about actually can I do one last pop culture prediction yeah I mean we can do all pop culture predictions the rise of like sports documentaries being more

like mainstream culture I think we watched the last dance sort of shoot its way through and now the Lakers dropped 15 documentaries about their legacy in the last year and then Shaq just dropped one on HBO

Max HBO Max and that one was actually a four parter and I found it to be so well done. I really got to applaud Shaq. That guy surrounds himself with creators

and like people who create like actually really wonderful aesthetics for him. And he's so big. Shut up. And also, I'm about to get fired. I just told my boss to shut up on national podcast TV. On national TV. But also, like, even just like the sort of like family funification of like inside NBA on TNT.

I think this is going to become more of a mainstream, like sports are going to become. And I say like mainstream, but I mean like as entertainment. Because now it's like sports are always like, oh, my boyfriend put on the sports, or my significant other put on sports. Sorry to be so binary. But like now, but I feel like it's like, but you don't even need to watch sports to enjoy Kenny pushing Shaq into a Christmas tree.

That's just funny. Yeah, that's just objectively good material. There is sort of, there will be a push towards that sort of like entertainment. Right. As like historical and also like nostalgia. Like that's the word. Right.

And, um, I don't know. I've noticed that. I just feel like, and as they become more common on like just streaming networks, like I can't wait for the Brittany Griner 30 for 30 you know like yeah it's all gonna

be very interesting and you know Malice at the Palace all these sorts of things that are just casually dropping on mainstream streaming services versus like having to get ESPN plus to watch all the 30 for 30s but there's so much there's so many stories like fans of sports know that there just aren't

documentaries about and be just like remember when that show happened remember that mainstream media people are like oh my god did you know that michael jordan was that good and you're like yeah the redeemed team documentary was really good this year yes redeemed team exactly i've been saying for a while now that the quality of documentaries is just going to keep getting better and better and better because everybody is constantly taking... There's just so much video now. You can do anything about it.

So yeah, I think we'll continue to see documentaries be a larger and larger part of mainstream pop culture. If you can get three angles of a middle-aged white woman having a breakdown crying a victoria's secret because somebody filmed her saying a racial slur damn sure no we're gonna have some good sports documentary plenty of footage yeah so yeah can't wait for the qatar world cup documentary we'll see what have you really curious what what might be happening there that we're not hearing about quite yet. I mean, I think just mainstream news, it feels like experimental work week,

non-five-day work weeks might continue to get attention. This is my optimistic take. We'll continue to see the rise of unions and populist economic policies because I do think as part see the rise of unions and like populist economic policies, because I do think as like part of, part of the trend of, you know, the,

um, the rich and powerful and famous starting to like be like, maybe this fascism thing is a good idea. After all, I think there's also going to be like people on, you know, who aren't those things coming together and starting to recognize that there is this divide that's happening i mean i think the you know housing

bubble is going to burst um everything i've been seeing lately not that i'm following it very closely but my partner is well yeah maybe he's just very helpful i'm trying to flip a few houses so i hope that doesn't happen but okay becca you know interest rates are going real high yeah the interest rates are the situation the other thing i think just going along with like everything we've saying the tension like of the ballers versus haters or like fans turning on like the objects of their fandom like we're seeing the percolations of people really being like dude i don't give a you're fucking rich yeah fuck what you're talking about and i think that sentiment is going to fucking explode in the next year like it's going to be a lot more pronounced in general and i think that's what's going to be a lot more pronounced in general. And I think that's, what's going to fuel the fucking backlash from the privileged to say like these people are fucking things.

It's nonsense. It's nonsense. We need to shut this shit down. I can't, and I can't be made to feel bad because I'm just enjoying the fruits of my labor or however that's going to be recontextualized. But because there's this like glaring blind spot that we always talk about from people that are, you know, wealthier and decision-making positions, contextualized but because there's this like glaring blind spot that we always talk about from

people that are you know wealthier and decision-making positions the route like we're gonna see more elon getting booed at the chase center type shit yeah the central myth that they have done something one million times better to become one million times richer than everybody like will continue to be examined like the atlas shrugged myth they all believe that shit like the this idea that if we just stop doing what we're doing you guys would be so upset because you love what we do and you love us and you know we just work 100 times harder than you and that's why we're paid a hundred times more than you and like that i think they're already seeing like atlas shrugs we shrug back we're like okay that's fine elon musk like keep fucking self-owning highly publicly and like ruining

twitter but like it's not it's not a good look for you and we're not all just gonna suddenly agree that you are the god emperor because you're like having a fucking public temper tantrum um i think we'll continue to see like that sort of trend but yeah i do i do think we'll also continue to see them consolidate and start being like yeah so what i had dinner with nick fuentes right or just or he's got not even that overt right like that people are like someone's gonna be like you know i can't believe chris pratt complained that like he couldn't get five hummers or something like at once and everyone's gonna be like you fucking idiot blah blah blah and he's gonna say like i don't care like i can do what i want these people just need to shut up yeah like that that's

going to start being the response to people who are like you know having something to say or making observations about like whether it's inequalities or whatever it is that the response isn't going to no longer be let me explain myself actually like my publicist like it's going to be it's going to be to turn up back on people it's gonna be i don't give a fuck it's not gonna be you know i'm really a pot like apologies to people it's not that i'm trying to say this or that and the other they're gonna be more people who are gonna fall into like fuck out my face i don't give a fuck you're broke fuck out of here deal with stressing me out yeah oh no what all of this well but i mean but but i think but the but i think what's interesting though is that

as more people are becoming aware those structures do begin to erode on some level because most of the time we're blindly operating in them and like to think that like young kids that young people now just say the term nepo baby right like and it and they know what time it is with that i'd be like what me at 20 i'd be like nepo what yeah i don't know but like these just like with every with you know again every as younger people get smarter and build on the intelligence and awareness that we're putting out there those are the seeds that end up growing into something different because thank god it's not more people saying man like leave elon alone granted there are people like that for sure but more people are kind of beginning to understand it's like no it's people like elon musk or it's like these like hyper wealthy people that my

situation is bad not this other bullshit they've been feeding people like i need to turn against other people that are poor no yeah i hope so. Because it feels like there's more veneers coming. There's like a veneer. The height of fascism will lead to further veneering of America. I'm talking about the teeth. Have you noticed that?

A lot of veneers popping up and people are saying some problematic shit with those veneers. The second someone gets veneers, you're like, they did. They made their deal. The fuck did he just say? That's what Jamie Loftus'

observation is. You watch someone get on SNL and the first season, they're like, okay, but then once they hit and become a household name, Lorne Michaels is like, you got to buy new teeth. Right. Yes.

It depends if Lorne Michaels really likes you though. Yeah. Like Amy Poehler. He made Amy Poehler change her whole grill out. Yeah. Yeah. But no, definitely the veneerification of fascism. Pete Davidson would not be where he is today without those teeth.

Let's just be honest about it. It's true. Did he have a little baked bean teeth before he got his new teeth i think they i don't remember as small but they were pretty like spread out he came back with big chicklets full white teeth yeah i bought into the pete davidson high i was like no same i mean same i'm calling myself out, but you go before and after and you're like, you know what? You wouldn't be with all these women without those teeth. That's true. He's just joking. He's just joking. I think we nailed the truth. Let's take a quick break. We'll be back for our final thoughts on the year 2023.

I'm not afraid and I think that that's why I've been able to kind of do my own thing and not necessarily stay in my mom's shadow

because I'm not afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone and shaking things up a little bit because that's the only way I feel that you're going to make history. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you.

BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything?

You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm listen to dream sequence on the

iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and just a personal prediction I will get new teeth in 2023 any any pop culture any movie, tv were back and just a personal prediction I will get new teeth in 2023 any pop culture any like movie TV streaming music

Chinese sci-fi book three body problem is apparently supposed to hit in 2023 on Netflix from Benioff and Vice so I the books are really good I don't know how they're gonna do they did well with Game of Thrones when they were operating off of the books are really good. I don't know how they're going to do. They did well with Game of Thrones when they were operating off of the books. So it could be cool.

Usher in a new era of sci-fi. It's like kind of a hard sci-fi thing where it's like, what if we did make contact and they were mean? Yes! Bring it on, motherfucker. Sounds like something my dad would love to watch yeah the three body problem could be a whole s thing or it might not even come out in 2023 who knows i have a lot of movie thoughts i looked up rotten tomatoes like 35 most anticipated movies for 2023 first off i think magic mike's last dance is going to do so well in the box office because

all these women who have been just sitting at home during covid horny as fuck they're going to go watch magic mice and they want their last dance with him the trailer looked great it reminded you of like why we came to watch magic mike in theaters and i'm excited for him personally and i think it's gonna do really well and on the opposite end, I think the Mario movie is going to bomb. And I hope it does because it looks bad. Really? I think it looks good except for Chris Pratt's voice. I'm here for it.

I mean, but it's going to be so bad because of Chris Pratt's voice. Hey, what's... I think his voice performance is... It's going to do really well. And his vocal performance is just going to replace Mario's fun voice in our minds. No. And we'll be that much worse don't say that jack or he's gonna get so much backlash in like the first weekend that they scrap the movie and they have to like sonic redo the whole voice yeah yeah i think i don't know i think magic mike i don't it wasn't i'll tell you this it didn't show me why i go to magic i don't even understand what i like the one that was grimy like where's kevin nash you know like

i wanted to see kevin nash and also just like that song from the last one from uh double xl early in the morning when i think about you. That Jeremiah song? I wanna fuck you all the time. Like that shit. I was like, yo, wow. If this feels like musical, I think that's why I'm a little, I'm not a big musical person. So I think that's why I'm like,

I like it when they kept it in the grimy clubs. The first one felt like an indie. Kind of like Nicole Byer has this running joke about the Fast and the Furious franchise, how the first one is an indie. And that's how the first Magic Mike felt like. Oh, and now we're going right. And now we're going off into outer space where the fucking strippers are now like twerking on Martians.

OK, I can respect that. Oh, you're saying it's the Fast and the Furiousification of Magic Mike. Absolutely. Because it is so next level that I am like what no this one is next level like they go to london and like sama hayek's in it and you're just kind of like what is going on and she's like an old star that needs like inspiration that only like a stripper bringing it back to like step up which i really kind of love and respect right so it's gonna be like a pg-13ification like it's gonna get well no it's a vacation of everything it's like a dance movie more than it is a sexy movie like like it's like they're like bringing

channing tatum back to his like original it's like they're like remember where you came from you were a dance movie guy first step up was your beginning and we're bringing you back to step up with this movie that's how it feels rosalia is gonna be in it you're like wow as like a puerto rican reggaeton star i think she's actually supposed to be like a spanish flamingo dance oh good for i mean that's what that's her lane yeah exactly i mean i'm assuming because they are in europe so are you guys ready for this is this is a real wild one. So hold on to your butts. Okay. So you guys have been on the internet. Yeah. Hold on to your BBL.

You've seen memes? Oh my god, hurry it up. Succession Season 4 is coming back Spring 2023. There's going to be some succession memes. Wow. Way crazy take. Like for real. You're going to see some succession memes this year, guys. Do you think, okay, crazy take like for real like you're gonna see

some succession memes this year guys do you think okay how we go a step further will you say the meme of the year will be a succession meme I'm not gonna go that far wow I'm just gonna say that you're gonna see some all right right right right okay also we're gonna see and just like that season two so

uh there might be the change is a vacation of a thank you that's right the succession of vacation i will say i do think there is going to be a success inification of like television like portraying really really rich people as monsters yeah and like really just starting to show it as like because and i and you know i hate to say it actually I don't hate to say I don't know why I said that I I love to say it reality tv made that shit happen reality tv started showing us you know like housewives these really rich people it's like wow they're like oh they dress

so nice oh wow oh and then guess what like now the most the housewives now everything around them is crumbling you're seeing these people's facades slip away. You're seeing that they're actually assholes or, you know, Jen Shaw, all her fucking handbags are fake. When the fucking FBI came and raided it to try and sell some of that shit to pay the victims off, they were like, oh, this shit's all fake. Like you're seeing the crumble of that. And I think that leads. And I do not quote me on this, please, because I know about to get people. No, we are.

But this leads to stuff like shows like Succession where you're watching these Murdoch family like crumbling before our eyes and clearly being so dysfunctional. And I think there is more to that because because of what we are living through, we want to see more of that. We want to see these people fucked up. We want to be like, yeah, fuck you. Yeah. Your shit does suck.

Yeah. All your handbags are fake. And it actually does give us some pleasure, you know? It's the release valve against revolution. Yeah. I bet all the Murdochs hate each other. Right.

Yeah. Yeah, of course. I watched that Murdoch doc on HBO Max. Oh my God. Those fools hate each other. I watched that Murdoch doc on HBO Max. Oh my god. Those fools hate each other. There's also a countervailing trend where people are like, I'm Roman of my group of friends.

I'm the Roman of my family. The way that people are like, I'm the turtle of the entourage. You're sexually depraved? Yeah, I was going to say like clearly unwell. That is not cool. I uh the turtle of my friends four fat sows this week no the people who watch uh entourage are always like dude no you're the turtle i'm vince i'm here because i'm the older one wow okay okay well we know who i am vince

i'm ari i'm Ari. I'm the agent. You're Ari. I'm making everything happen. You think Gavin Miles would exist without me? No, they fucking wouldn't. Especially now with her cursing at us. Verbally abusive agent. She treats me like Lloyd. But that's for another

episode. But Lloyd does everything, though. One other thing I'll say just before we wrap up about like media is i think the discovery plus hbo max we're really we're gonna start fully seeing the taint like of that channel bleed into or begin to taint hbo's programming because discovery plus and the shows that they're making right now i i'm pretty sure we're gonna see some of the like the weirdest lowest common denominator shit from tlc this year we're gonna see some of the like the weirdest lowest common denominator shit from tlc this year we're already seeing this like milf island thing and i think that's only the

beginning and since those are the people who are basically being like we know how to make stuff you can fuck off everybody at hbo max that the development shit that we're going to start saying is going to be a little bit like who the fuck is this for yeah um it's turning into hdo plus max right hdo because discovery right home discovery office it's the warner discovery hbo merger that's why it's the hdo max hdo maxis plus hdo hd oh hd oh h plus do max it's the hdo plus max bros it's kind of crazy to see hbo really just like shit the bed so hard you know like they were like considered i feel like from most people who really enjoy tv and movies the best streaming service and now they're just crumbling time is undefeated and so is capitalism capitalism will find a way to fuck it up.

And Showtime's like, well, we have Z-Way. And I'm like, but then I have to pay for Showtime. We're like, and thank you for that. But you only have one show on at a time that I want to see. And see, that's the problem with me. But look, they started shipping out those yellow jackets out to everyone. So, you know, yellow jackets is at least coming back. That's the thing.

But they have not renewed. Are they really sending yellow jackets? No, no. They're sending the like varsity jackets out for the show. Yellow jackets because they're a sports team. They're like a soccer team. So, you know, the promo is starting to starting to hit, which means season two is near. And then, you know, they Showtime is fucking up right now

because they have not renewed. I love that for you yet for season two. All right. Well, these have been our predictions. We can't know the future and get anything 100% accurate except for one thing, which I can tell you in the coming war of ballers versus haters, I'm going to be a baller.

I'm staying on my grind. And you losers better either get with the winning side or go to fucking jail. It's so true, Becca. Nobody wants to work these days. Nobody wants to work these days. Kids these days are so rude and spoiled

and lazy and that's been my time. I'm going to go sleep. And we will all die in a giant wave. There we go. There it is. Giant wave. Giant wave 2023.

It's going to happen eventually, so just wait, you guys. We're coastal elites. Bye. Bye. Bye. K hasn't heard from her sister in seven years. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project.

All you need to do is record everything like you always do. What was that? That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. Can K trust her sister or is history repeating itself?
