banking episodes so you can take away from my like
it's my body's like all right, bro.

Speaker 2 (00:42):

thrilled to be joined by the man behind the zoom
Chat for regular episodes coming to us from parts unknown.
He's been called the Silent Majority by himself. Just now it's.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Brian and I am also sick.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Hi, Hey, everybody's sick. Everybody's sick with it book. Thank
you guys. When you when you look back at the
beach and you saw just one set of footsteps.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
Saw one set of quad tracks behind you, Yeah that
was actually uh me making you carry me even though
uh you're sick.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Sorry about that. I got real tired. Yeah you're actually dead.
So I was just walking by. Yeah, you can see
like the and it's like your footsteps and then feet
dragging because I just abbed onto your back and made
you drag me like a total sled. And for this
final top five, we're counting down the top five stories

(02:10):
of the year. We did fifteen through eleven, ten through
six the past couple of days. Today we got the
top five. I asked this guy, he's a you know,
integral part of the team. He's written a lot of
these stories. I said, hey, do you want to join
for the top fifteen, top ten through six stories? And
he said, Jack, that sounds like a waste of my time.

(02:31):
Call me accurately because you bring me into clothes, brother,
only top five for me? It's our writer jam Nickname.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
Hey yeah, I'm not six through ten? Are you kidding me?
What is ten through fifteen? Well, David Letterman wouldn't even
do ten through fifteen.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
It was bullshit. Give me the top five or give
me nothing, jam Thank you for joining us all the
way from Canada.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
All right, guys, we got a lot of stories to
get through, so we got a couple honorable men chees
because we didn't realize they happened. We forgot the day.
Now that's not true. These these actually I don't think
even had we had them on the list at the start,
I don't think they would have made the top fifteen.
But they are important stories we got. We got Rapture Talk,

(03:22):
which we we don't need to talk that much about
because it is going to make our Internet Virality episode
where we bring on super producer Becca Ramos to go
through all the viral trends of the year that we
talked about and some that we didn't talk about, some
that we missed, but rapture talk in our forties, this
is the big one. All TikTokers seemingly prepping for the rapture,

(03:45):
prepping for a trip to heaven. And it was just
kind of fun shot and Freuda. It was fun to
look back at that and laugh. But as of yet
it still hasn't happened. Yeah, but you know, still still possible.
You never know down the road. So they there is
at least that they're not giving up on it. They're like, well,

(04:05):
there's a new one coming, just let God tell me. Yeah,
could be that we got left behind it and it
was a very specific rapture.

Speaker 5 (04:12):
Yeah, it was just like one guy.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
There's only one guy who's good enough. But it did.
It gave us some great videos, like that guy doing
the TikTok videos or he's like they're boom trumpets, boom
and then kid playing with his parents, boom, the baby gone,
where the baby go? The boom? Some great stuff from him.
We also had. This was kind of a big one.

(04:38):
At the moment that just sort of faded away was
when ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel where, you know, and we
had to pretend to care. We're like, not Jimmy Kimmel.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
No.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
And then Stephen Colbert his show got canceled a few
weeks later, it's just overall the big story is the
corporate capitulation to the Trump administration, which we covered a
little bit and all over the place, it's everywhere.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
It was just one of those things where like it
was just so out in the open, where like the
FCC Brendan Carr's like, I don't know, man, maybe this
shouldn't be on the air because we know some of
you guys want mergers.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
And then I was like, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Nopeh a really great point, all because of just the
this is just all in that really that was just
on the aftermath of the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk
because yeah, just being like he's like what did Trump say?
And he's like, how are you feeling about Trick Kirk?
He's like this ballroom and Trump.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
So Trump was like that this is a great loss.
He's a new hero. And then the next day I
didn't even remember, but uh yeah, the right, I mean
the right continues to be like this. This would be
the number The Charlie Kirk assassination would be the number
one story where we are right wing podcast. For sure,
they are outraged that Charlie Kirk was not given Times

(06:02):
Person of the Year. They're outraged that he wasn't nominated
for a Grammy, you know, like just everything died all
over again.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, that's really They were mad he didn't
get w NBA Finals MVP.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
It was all a lot of they thought a lot
was owed to that.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
They were mad that the Super Bowl halftime show isn't
just gonna be like a very long moment of silence
for Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 5 (06:29):
With pyrotechnics going off.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah, that's right, deafening pyrotechnics ness.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
It will be a permanent moment of silence.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah, after that permanent moment of no one's allowed to
talk anymore. That was they did try to. They were
basically like anybody who says his name takes our Newsavi's
name in vain, you get fired. And it worked. A
lot of people got fired. Jimmy Kimmel almost got fired.
He got like kind of temporarily fired and became the

(07:00):
new leader of La Resistance.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Yeah, when Gavin knew someone, everybody everyone pulled up for
Jimmy kim But I think overall, it was more to
the idea that like everyone was watching just all of
the rights go away in like such casual fashion that
I think I was that was probably the more for me,
the jarring thing to be like, oh wow, like they're
really just gonna go for They're just gonna go for

(07:25):
being like yeah, and you can't do this, you can't
do this. Now, this person's fired.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Now.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
I know they would love to have that really be
like sort of enshrined in law, but I guess that moment,
that moment of cancelation was definitely jarring.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
I think they love this magic moment, this ring moment.
So that's bad. It feels like anytime something bad happens
to anyone who nominally supports Donald Trump, it's going to
be used as an opportunity to just like consolidate more
and more power. Yeah yeah, yeah, So that's we learned

(08:01):
that in very acute detail this year. And then finally
Italian brain Rot did not make the list. We are
sorry Italian brain Rot. But Miles, you were pointing out
that did hit in April. I thought that I thought
that happened last summer. I thought that doesn't seem like it.
I thought it possibly happened this year. I thought it
was part of brat summer. I thought it was weird

(08:25):
kind the GOP weird summer, but no, that was fucking April.
So yeah, get to that and the really yeah, we'll
talk about that in the viality. You know, took over
the T shirts on the boardwalk, which is one of
my oh right, one of my ways of track of
the zeitgeist. Last year was a lot of hawk to
a girl. This year Italian brain rot is is king?

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Were you able to keep the dates straight in your
mind based on the boardwalk T shirts? Because exactly this
was this was Italian brainwalk T shirts.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
So yeah, last year was a election year where there
was a lot of Donald Trump, one Kamala and so
many Hawktua. If we had gone off of my rule
of thumb that you can tell who's about to get
elected based on T shirts, the Hawkta girl would have
been elected in a landslide, they hear, would have been

(09:17):
Tom tum tums who in the mid terms and any
in a special election. All right, but let's get into
the actual top five stories of the year. Coming in
at number five is the rise the win of one

(09:38):
Mamdani n Mamdani Miles.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's here. Our good friend Zorn Mamdani.
Oh man, it's still it feels good to say, like
the too much tuna guys, it's still good.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah, it's still all right.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
And now, I mean, I think it was one of
those moments where everyone was like, who's gonna who's gonna win?

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Right now?

Speaker 3 (09:59):
After in the act for math of the election, is
it going to be all the centrist and establishment Democrats
are like, we gotta go more racist guys, right, have
a bigger tent? Or was it going to be the
groups or the progressives or leftists who are like, you
guys have missed the entire fucking point for the last
like twenty years, which is like, no one knows what

(10:19):
it's like to be fucking.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
No one knows what it's like. Oh man, behind guys,
that's the thing, is like them biscuit version. Yeah, wait
is there another version? Oh yeah, there's a red durst
behind version. Sorry, sorry for bringing that to year attention.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yeah, side note for people, go why don't you pause
this podcast and go listen to that really quick? But
I think the message of his whole candidacy about being
like shit costs too much?

Speaker 2 (10:51):
What the fuck can't we just make shit cheaper?

Speaker 3 (10:54):
Resonated immediately, and I think for us who have been
and like most people who have been looking at at
how unaffordable things have become and the indifference and just
lack of attention intentionally from people in leadership or like
that this is going to resonate, and seeing that was
really I think was a nice win for people who

(11:17):
were worried that some just freak show was going to
pull up and be like, how about more status quo
and even more regressive, because I think I think the
fear after that election was like, oh, we're completely slipping,
and which we are to a certain extent, but there
was still there was still some hope in that people
could be brought into a campaign or to support a

(11:39):
candidate who was talking purely like about affordability and right
why that's needed, and end up being.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
We'll see if it's just talk.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
I think it'll be. I think, I don't doubt, don't
I don't know about his intent. I know that it's
definitely going to be difficult to implement these kinds of
things when you don't have like just you know, carte
blanche to change right relations. But I think like right now,
one of the first things that it's been talked about,
which seems like pretty low hanging fruit is just like
a loll cart licenses and eliminating like the middlemen who

(12:10):
like you know, resell them for higher amounts, which can
lead to these other sort of things like cooperatives being
set up. So I think I'm sure like it seems
like the people that are there are looking for the
things that they can actually get done and see some
results for. But yeah, to that end, I think I'm
also like every like every candidate we've seen in the
last ten years who kind of rides in on progressivism

(12:33):
or like being even DSA, sometimes it doesn't end up
being the exact same.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
He's got the best shot though, and I will say
coming into the year like this would be the story
that went the most unexpectedly positive. Coming in he was
a long shot that I feel like people were like,
best case scenario is he like runs close to Cuomo
and like, get there's some momentum right that he's gonna

(13:01):
actually create an idea that like maybe you can run
as a progressive. And the fact that the first sentence
of Jam's story from this was not surprisingly Zoran Mamdani
handily won the New York mayoral election, and I feel like,
just taking a step back and looking at it across
year twenty twenty five, that is the story that is
probably the most shocking and like promising is like how

(13:26):
much better that works? And even if he's not able
to deliver on that, Like I mean, the Democrats are
going to do their best to not learn that message,
but it's it's going to be hard not to take
any learnings from that. And even like we just saw
the Miami mayoral candidate, like a Democrat won the mayoral

(13:48):
seat in Miami for the first time since nineteen ninety seven,
focusing on affordability.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Yeah, so I think the question is will that bear
fruit and will they do anything that's I think that's
really where the rubber meets the road, and I think
that's where I'm still reserving my judgment to see like
what can be done and how that's messaged, because yeah,
there's a ton of support for that, and I think, yeah, again,
after that election, you're like, wait, people.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Do people want fucking fascism or affordability? Because he was
kind of pitching both to people and then now seeing
that like more of the polling shows like that some
people did want fascism, but most people still want the
affordability part.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
Well, else, let's split the difference and go for a
fashion ability.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yeah, okay, you're right, you're right, Yeah, I think fashionability
is better, yeah, for short ability.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
And then of course, so it was fun. It was
fun to watch the right spiral in response to this,
sure freaking out people being like he's about to kill
us all billionaires, millionaires, everybody has to move to New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Yeah, yeah, that was that was great when people were
trolling with that. It's like he's going to make people
use Arabic numerals and like what the fuck? Really, They're like, hey,
dumb fuck, why don't you look up what our numeral
like our numeral system is based on.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah. Day after the election, the millionaires were all raptured
to the upstate New York and to New Jersey. Yeah.
And then there was also, I mean he came through
another thing that like just in both cases things that
went more positively then I think I could have expected.

(15:30):
Is his election performance and then his showdown with socialism
where Zaran went down and met with him and everyone
was like, get ready to be owned lib And then
Donald Trump was like I think he's cute. Yeah, I
think he do. You think he likes me? My wee
Wei's kicking Wow, look at this. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
I think the other part too that was great to
see was that all of the sort of status quo
attacks on a candidate who's running on the left or
just is Muslim, Like, none of that shit was working
this time because they went so hard, you know, like
they tried every tool.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
The first one was like this guy's a freaking socialist.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Yeah, and there was crickets, and they're like, okay, fuck
fuck fuck, all right, what about this one.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
I try to allow this one's a good one.

Speaker 6 (16:22):
He's a fucking Muslim and he's gonna do nine eleven
on you again every day, every day, every day.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
That was his campaign promise, you guys have again, fucking crickets, crickets.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
Everybody's like gas was affordable during nine to eleven.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, right, so was cocaine. But this thing.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yeah, just seeing the fact that none of those things
work as distractions from the main point, which is like, yeah, dude,
I don't bring that on. Bring on a personal color
Muslim socialist if that means someone is hearing what I'm
saying that the hardest thing to survive right now is
everything is unaffordable. If someone's listening to that, that is
actually going to get someone's attention, but everyone's fears will

(17:07):
How is this going to be co opted? How is
this going to be blunted so that all that energy
is sort of like in political ikedo, just like redirected
into yourself and you're like, and don't worry. Things are
still going to be as unaffordable as possible. But I'm
I'm optimistic given that there are enough people who are
supporting it and support the policies.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
I mean just the optics too, of just a young
person who doesn't necessarily come from dynastic wealth and influence. Yeah,
running New York is kind of nice to see.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
His mom's a filmmaker, a filmmaker, a nice house.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Let's rent controlled, Yeah, our hour.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yeah, let's take a quick break. We're going to come back.
We're going to get to the stories number four, three, two,
and you know what, I think we're going to do
story number one also, Yeah, we'll be right back. I
know you're too crazy, and we're back. We're back, and

(18:12):
we got a couple of fucking gems out of the manisphere.
This year. Our number four story is just two of
the top performers from the Manisphere. We got the Saratoga
Springs Water guy in the morning routine. Yep, yes, wake
up at four o'clock. Yeah, that was a face in

(18:36):
Saratoga spring Water.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
I wonder he's I wonder, like I wish you could
check these people's like bank accounts.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Yeah, you know what I mean, I really want to know, like,
oh he doesn't.

Speaker 4 (18:46):
Oh he doesn't have a network thing when you google him,
that means he's fucking broke.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Well no, of course not.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yeah, because they're all like they all have obscure jobs
like elite trainer, fitness consultant or something. It's like because
you sprint like with a g wagon chasing you.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
That's honestly, when you're built like that, you can charge
goofy people like whatever you want with whatever title like
because yeah, yeah, yeah, they will never build that physique.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Damn how you do that? Now? Let's this. The guy
was called Ashton Hall. Yeah, what did we learn from him?
Because I do just want to go through the things
that we So he got up at four in the
morning handed a bowl of ice water that had been poured.
He's meditating for a last bottle of water. That's good.

(19:32):
You always need to watch some some.

Speaker 4 (19:34):

And he's done all. By the way he's done, it
is important to know that he has more efficient He
doesn't know because he has more efficient sleep because he
tapes his mouth clothed right at night, which was important
for me to know because I had not been. So
I started, I started doing, I start mummying my whole

(20:13):
ship up and taking my whole whole head. But your
breathing stopped, right, he said, yeah, yeah, it was bad.

dude who pulled out like the weird pedestal because you
had to show some tatted arms and big biceps. And
then there's something just a manicured hand throwing him some cologne.

much colone on your venus.

There you go, there it is zooming. It's the guys.
I'm assuming he wanted this to be in public. There

iPhone out of the box because he just got it.
He gets a new iPhone every year, got it? You

(22:33):

box of phone every day.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
Every day. I just open up my phone, I use it,
and then I folded the wrong way.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, just snapping in half. You don't even you don't
even break it. You just put it down on a
pile of other ones. And they're just like, there're like,
what these are?

Speaker 1 (23:10):
What?

Speaker 4 (23:10):
I didn't see this far into the video, I didn't
realize he unboxes the news.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
This is the original one that went viral had very
similar It's like broken out by like okay eight twenty nine,
spray my chest with Clone eight thirty, spray my dick
with Colonne. Like it's a moment by moment breakdown. At
one point, he jumps to dive into a pool at

(23:36):
like nine to twenty and then lands in the pool
at like nine twenty four. Oh there is that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
so great learnings from him.

Speaker 5 (23:46):
The assistant you can't see it kind of reminds me
of like remember in the Muppet Babies where yeah, the
nanny saw their legs.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yes, it's kind of like, yeah, do you think these
are this is nanny? This is what Nanny's up to
she's had to move on to just help helping man influencers.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
Was the original influencer.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
He was man. A lot of people, a lot of
kermits out. There was something we talked about this year.
And then we also got to meet a guy who
taught us how to sit in a chair while just
being constantly tormented by bullies who had once told him
like he wasn't doing man.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
This man has cried a lot, yes him talking about
talk about you are overthinking so much because you're showing.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
He's like you were not masculine enough. So he walks,
he goes, dude, that was gay dude. That was gay dude.
That was like that. I like the luggage one.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
Because you can really see the the the mass slip
and it all falls apart when he's doing the luggage
one and he drives it and he starts stumbling over
his words, like you don't look like fifty fucking drop it.
He's bending over gay stuff like he was.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Losing to you. He taught us this year how to
open a water bottle, sit in a chair, and pick
up a suitcase. His main thesis seems to be it's
gay to bend over, and so he is just teaching
you how to do vulnerable position. Yeah. He teaches you
how to do various things. So he like walks up

(25:27):
to a chair and it's like, this is how you
pull out a chair when you're sitting down. And then
he like bends all the way over. It's like that's
how you do it. Whereas I do it, I stay
straight up like a like there's a pull up my head. Yeah,
And then he does it for a thing that like
must have just happened to him, which was walking through

(25:50):
the airport, like pulling a rolling suitcase and then you
accidentally drop it. It's just like not a dated, a
daily occurrence to anyone. And then he found himself bending
over to pick up his bag, and he was like, fuck,
I gotta I gotta make a video about this to
make sure this doesn't happen to anybody else.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
Because you know what happens when that does happen is
it makes a loud sound and everybody turns around and looks.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
And he turns around and looks at you, and and
all these eyes.

Speaker 4 (26:19):
On their arms in front of them and they're like mmmm.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
So here he is giving you tips. I don't lean over,
it should use my whole body. Use your whole body.
I'm trying to shift.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
I'm not putting my head there and then moving.

Speaker 7 (26:33):
The proper way to do it get up, shift the
whole body was your head to continue the movement. Uh,
it's pathetic if you dropped some and you start stop
being looking and acting frustrated.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Fun, he says, through just years of frustration. Yeah, and
Fear was a very kind man. It's clear. Yeah, yeah,
this guy.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
The most alpha thing you could do in that situation
is just keep walking and leave your lucky.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
Leave your luggage behind.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
There's no making editor this walking.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Well, the issue with all this stuff is is that
people who are secure don't give a fuck.

Speaker 8 (27:17):
About anyone around them or thinking about what another person
thinks about them. That's that's that's really the skill that
you're trying to teach people, like in a holistic way
is that you don't need to worry about other people's
perceptions of you.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
You can be complete, You be you who you are,
and that's all that fucking matters. But these people all
live in a world where they're like I live entirely
for an external audience, and I must perform for them
or else I am not this thing that I'm performing as,
and it's just so funny that it's like it just
it basically comes down to the most intense version, which
is shit like this was like you can't fucking get

(27:52):
in a chair like this, bro.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
You can't open a water bottle like this, Bro, you
gotta fucking dominate that thing. Yeah, every act is fraid
to with like the pressure of performing masculinity, like in
the most egregious way possible, and like, so like it's
funny because when he's just trying to walk at the
beginning of the video, he can't walk normal because he

(28:14):
just like feels like every move he makes is being
judged by a panel of men being like too tight,
they don't ump. That's how you know he's fucking working
out so here he is just.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
Coming in.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Hell. Yeah, more traps that cheer service? The fuck is
this song? Dude?

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Make that cheer serve you? And I think the best
one is is fucking so stupid you're drinking.

Speaker 7 (28:45):
Open a water bottle can absolutely ruin your first impression,
so shocked, do it right? You gotta grab a bottle.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
I'm sorry, he just opened it.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
He's like, stop, grab you grab it by the base
and then he twist it and you.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Twist it and then you like jacket off a little bit.
Forget about the nuts either, don't forget about the nuts.
All right, all right? Man tips for his way of
opening the water bottle, like here's how you do it,
and then he like goes to the water bottle and
like hunches over it, like yeah, yeah. He curls his
shielder real straw man. You know, it's actually really funny.

(29:20):
I just noticed this in the video he tags body
Armor water.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
He says the right way to open an at bod
drink body Armor water bottle. This and this isn't even
a fucking ad. I think this guy's thinking if he
tags them, he'll get the attention of this company and
they're like yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah, yeah, this is what we want to line up.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
He saw the other guy with the Saratoga whatever the fuck,
and he's like, oh, I got one of these water sponsorships.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
But what I gotta do is be like, hey, you're
you're a you're fucking less than you're a fucking looser,
dickless man unless you open a bottle.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Like this body Armor. Right, guys, here's you, here's you.
You're eh. Oh God, how do I open this water bottle?

Speaker 4 (29:59):
I mean, but we all know real alphas don't drink
water out of plastic bottles.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Well, but he does have to because an important detail
of the video is after he correctly opens it and
takes a sip, he then closes it and fucking throws
it on the ground, like somebody who's very comfortable in
their masculinity and making everything see effortless. Yep, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (30:20):
I think you guys are being too hard on him.
I think that looks really cool.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
I think that ruled.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
Yeah, he has been quiet this whole segment. Yeah, he's like,
oh wow, guys throwing your eyes.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Yeah, he's taking vigorous notes. You should have seen how
j I. Real offics don't drink out of bottles. Yeah,
they drink out of the La river.

Speaker 5 (30:46):
Have you seen the Chair Company the show? Yeah, sitting
in a chair the wrong way can ruin your life.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
Yeah, that is that is the threast of that show.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
I wish he that would be so funny as an influencer.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
But like, but taking that first active on like a
Tim Robbins characters like, but but not, it's not Tim Robbinson.
It's like this muscle bound freak doing it. He's like,
you gotta be careful because look, you could fall in it,
and then nobody takes you seriously, and then what he's
just playing out absurd Anyway, that's.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
A comedy spoof channel for someone to run with. He's
but he is great. I mean, he is like a
Tim Robinson character come to life in uh in reality,
and we respect him. That's why he made the top ten,
the top the top four stories of the year, along
with the Saratoga Springs guy. All right, we're on to

(31:37):
number three. Guys. You may have heard about these these
dang Epstein emails. Oh, it's a non story. It's overblown.
The guy. First of all, Guy Guy is dead, So
why why are we even still talking about him? Why
are we You guys are so stupid you're still talking

(31:58):
about this guy. Oh my god, I'm so embarrassed for you.
You know, coming into the year, Donald Trump was riding
pretty high, just been elected president. Things are really looking good,
and this, among many other things, this seemed to be
the thing where people were first like, what the fuck
is he doing? Like, even on his side, we're like,
why does he keep being like I actually don't care

(32:19):
about this anymore, this thing that was a major part
of my campaign. And then the emails dropped, and he
is the name that is most mentioned. I do think
the Democrats did a good job dropping that first batch
of emails, with the one that said he is that
dog that hasn't barked. It's just like, yeah, it just

(32:40):
feels like, oh, man, does that even mean?

Speaker 4 (32:43):
Actually I never bothered to ask because I didn't really care,
But what does that mean?

Speaker 2 (32:48):
It means that he is the thing that hasn't been
talked about yet in all of the controversy surrounding you know,
everybody covering this back in twenty e line, so this
is in twenty eleven, this is before he even has
a political career. But Epstein's like, you know, whose names
are not getting mentioned? Who was like my number one pervert,

(33:10):
My number one guy for a long time was Donald Trump.

Speaker 5 (33:14):
It is a weird way of putting it. It's like
a Leonard Cohen lyric or something.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
It is.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
It's yeah, it's a little tangential for me, and I
don't like Yeah, and it's sort of fitting with the
whole Epstein brain thing that he's got going on.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Yeah, and then a bunch of emails came out. He
was all over them, and it just seems bad. He
doesn't seem to know how to respond to it, other
than posting a bunch of images of he and Milania
and being like normal mayre like the White House in
the immediate aftermath, post a picture in him Minnie Johnson's
style posts.

Speaker 5 (33:48):
Yeah, well I was specifically after the Clinton thing.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Yeah, that was after everybody started speculating that he sucked
Bill Clinton's dick. That that happened again. Yeah, so many
happen at White House. A picture of Donald Trump kissing
Malaney on the cheek with the quote I can't help
falling in love with you.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
My genetically female wife.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Jesus adults later America's Power couple of them holding hands.
So it's I don't know this. This story is just beginning,
I would say.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
But yeah, because as of this recording, they haven't dropped yet.
They're going to drop a week from today. Yeah, they're supposals,
and then that's when I think a lot of the
parsing through will begin. So this is gonna be another
one of those weird Christmas breaks. We're probably gonna just
read the wildest ship probably coming out of this or

(34:47):
who knows.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
I don't know. They're going to be.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
Pretty wild reading a completely black tone.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
That's what we see.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
Because that's the other thing too, is like the obviously
the like the Democrats are like, we'll see what this
looks like, like what form these documents look like they're in?

Speaker 2 (35:04):
But yeah, more to come.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
But I think the other huge thing about just the
Epstein emails and files thing is like it really started
fucking like wobbling the a lot of like the Magot
people too.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Yeah, like it seems like it's the first crack that
we've seen in the Maga stuff that actually like that.
There's been plenty of things where people are like, well,
surely he's he's done now and it you know anything
where he's being corrupt to protect himself. Yeah, people are like, yeah, no,

(35:36):
that's what we like about him. He's like a cheater
businessman guy. Like that's where we like that he cheats
on his wife. We like that he like does whatever
he wants to gain power. That's what we think is cool.
We feel like we need a strong man because the
current system doesn't work. But like they built an entire
fictional universe around him where he is like the head

(36:01):
pedophile catcher right that that's been a huge part of
his mythos is the fucking whole QAnon thing. And to
have him then be revealed to be the head pedophilele
no catcher seems seems bad. And even like Marjorie Taylor

(36:22):
Green broke with them, a lot of people started being like, oh,
I don't know, I don't know about this.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
Yeah, I wonder if some people was like, I don't
know if they can handle hearing that Pony Stark was
Banos also at the same time.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
But yeah, we'll see, We'll we'll see. Seems like one
that's going to be worth paying attention to. But it did,
it did. It was a big enough deal this year
that it did make our list. I mean, the Bubba
stuff was really fun. That was a fun weekend. I
feel like that was our jd Vance couch fucker meme
of twive.

Speaker 5 (36:55):
You know, it was a big weekend for the those
two guys from the Shining you know.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Oh yeah, the guy in the bear costume Yea and
the Parra costume being having his face in Donald Trump's face.

Speaker 4 (37:07):
No. I distinctly remember laughing really hard for about forty
five seconds when I was like, Okay, I guess I'm
gonna have to google did Trump Clinton? It was just like, Wow,
great year, great year.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
We wouldn't be journalists if we didn't come out and
say that. Mark Epstein came out and said it wasn't
about Bill Clinton, so we we don't know. It could
have been Bubba love Sponge, the guy who filmed the
sex tape of Hulk Hogan.

Speaker 4 (37:36):
Fucking his wife. I'm thinking Bubba Gump. That's my bubble
Gump from Yeah, I mean it was the nineties.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
That's you know, he wanted to be. Bubble Gump is
the name of the company. Bubba Gump is the name
of the companies.

Speaker 4 (37:48):
I've never actually seen the movie because I think it's stupid.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Sorry, Oh you're way off. You're off, Brian, No else
he's taking.

Speaker 5 (37:55):
Then it was a touching tribute to his friend, Bubba
the Bubba's Yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
All right, we're at our top two stories. We're gonna
take a quick break. We're gonna come back, and guys,
I'm really excited about these top two. They're big Chef's kiss.
Why they're the top two Chef's Kiss. We'll be right
back and we're back. Like if Trump blowing Bubba was

(38:29):
the JD Vans couch meme of twenty twenty five, I
feel like this next story, in a way was our
Luigi of this year, Luigi Mangioni, in that it allowed
us to hate on CEOs in a way that was,
you know, a little bit more fun, a little less plady.

(38:51):
That was this year. I'm talking, of course about the
CEO Coldplay couple, and also to a lesser degree, but
I still want to I think it deserves an honorable mention.
The CEO stealing that kids had at the US Open, Yeah,
I think that one is definitely. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
The CEO the cheating CEO thing is is.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
By far, like the most potent of that is the
that is our number two story is the Coldplay concert.

Speaker 4 (39:18):
It's just, oh god, the Internet really came together that
day and it is job and.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
I was proud. I was. I was like, Internet, you
are you did it all? Yeah? The speed at which
themes so to recap, there's a there's a kiss cam
going around at a cold Play concert. They focus on
a couple that look like a married couple. He's holding

(39:48):
her from behind and the second there s melts into
the background. All right, he does this gray shut.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
Oh, you may have been spot on because then, brother,
I feel so bad for the woman who had to
face the care because the woman turned around and then
talked to her employee.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Okay, he did, like if Mitch McConnell was present for
a shooting, he just like went to the ground very slowly. This.
I just love the chint, just the little bits of Yeah.
There's a moment where he realizes he's on and his
face goes from smiling to his chin going up, like

(40:39):
he's like he actually he's doing the biggest goal of
all time.

Speaker 4 (40:44):
That shot in like eighties action movies right before like
a tertiary bad guy character is about to get killed
in a really funny way, and he's like yeah, yeah,
he for the camera for a few frames.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Yeah, and she looks like she's watching like the Challenger
or something. Yeah. Now, had they just stayed completely still,
they probably would have been thumbs up.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
It's like, oh shit, we're a little embarrassed, but it
would not have been noteworthy at all.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
Blowing bright orange, that's a I mean sunburned or is
there something weird going on with the night vision?

Speaker 4 (41:22):
I have a better question, Jack, Why are you going
to super high the places with your fucking mistress?

Speaker 2 (41:30):
It was a work It was a team building activity
that just got out of hand.

Speaker 4 (41:36):
Did all the Musdi motels go out of business? Like
you're supposed to? That's an indoor activity. Stay inside with that.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
Yeah, it wasn't. That was just I mean, that was
just them being sloppy. Yeah. And then but I guess
it was all came out too. That was like not
only it was like they also there was the HR lady. Yes,
so that's what's important. He was the CEO of a
company called Astronomer or Astronomy Astronomer Astronomer. She was the

(42:09):
head of HR. So everyone was like, oh, yeah, couldn't
have been more perfect. Wait, you didn't you sit down
for that forty five minute video about doing this kind
of stuff? Right? I had to watch? Wasn't that THEO
made us watch an hour long video every year saying
don't have sex with your co workers? Okay?

Speaker 5 (42:33):
This was also like I noticed something that bubbled up
like beyond the internet too, Like it was a big,
huge thing on the internet. But then I remember I
was out like that day working in coffee shops and stuff,
and like you could just like strangers on the street
you passed by and they'd be talking like it was like.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
When yeh, yeah it was. It was amazing and cool.

Speaker 5 (42:53):
It was all of a sudden like on every radio station,
like it was like a huge bump for them. And
I actually wanted to ask you, guys, do you think
this story would have been as big as it was
and as funny as it was if it wasn't Coldplay,
Because there's already something kind of embarrassing about just going
to a Coldplay concert. I feel like as a factor
and why everyone kind of.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
Everything going on, I think there is an element of okay.
So I feel like there's a certain subset of the
population who like Coldplay doesn't enter their mind at all
and they sort of live in the like the two
thousands and twenty tens, like I always think of Yellow
that was the last time I paid paid attention to.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Coldplay, and so much good shit.

Speaker 4 (43:38):
Coldplay is doing one of the what has to be
one of the biggest world tours of the year. Oh,
they are still huge. They are still making music on
a regular basis, and they have like they performed at
stadiums and they do jumbo tron. Shit, that was all
news to me. I was like, oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
Yeah, yeah. The transport people so much that they feel
like they could just cheat on their wives in public
with the head of HR, that's how powerful they are.
I did do a little bit of additional research because
you know, I feel like this was these people were
not just the like main character of the day on
the internet. They were the main character for like a
week and then it kind of dropped off, and I

(44:22):
did just want to say, like, we didn't cover how
much this guy's life was absolutely and totally inconvenienced by this,
and I just it's it's very sad. He had to
sell his six million dollar full floor condominium in Tribeca,
New York. He imagined he only made four hundred dollars

(44:44):
on the deal. I know he only made four hundred
thousand dollars on the deal because he had bought it
for five point four million and sold it for five
point eight So like, think about that. Oh so he
like he must have been hoping for a much better return.
He submitted worst paperwork on August thirteenth, just weeks after
the video. People reports that he and his wife were

(45:06):
already separated, according to his spokesperson, So we were on
a break right, and yeah, I mean everyone's rejoicing and
seeing a CEO get his come uppance. But think about
all the jobs he created, all the value he would
have brought to the world. Oh wait, sorry, they are

(45:28):
a streaming AI company. That was Something that I feel
like was left out at the time, is like he
he is the CEO of a companies that was He's
the CEO of a company that was just like putting
AI on streaming.

Speaker 4 (45:42):
Somehow, as soon as people found out he worked for
an AI company, that's when they felt completely comfortable tearing
his ass apart.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
His big move after taking over as His big move
after taking over as CEO was moving the company from
where it was founded in Cincinnati to the much less
affordable New York. So he's he's like a real CEO.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
You know.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
Yeah, he's he's the type of CEO who's like, yeah,
you're gonna have to move to New York because that's
where my six million dollar Tribeca full floor condo is.

Speaker 5 (46:15):
I love how the AI companies are also just have
names that of professions that sound cooler than that, right,
Astronomer astronomer in astronomy.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
No, no, not at all. Astronomer, established in twenty fifteen,
focuses on streaming interactions with artificial intelligence applications. Cool. I
don't know what the heck that me. See a guy
like that lose his job and you do hate to
see it?

Speaker 3 (46:41):
Yeah, yeah, I mean again, Yeah, we we live in
a world where people if there's something like just the
genre of bad thing happened to.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
CEO, go on, yes, please more, more.

Speaker 3 (46:53):
More, And I think this all fits into like the
same shit where like the Democrats don't realize that, like
people are so stretched into the point that they hate
the rich, right, if you can just really that's just
one big part of culture that you're missing right now,
is that most people fucking hate the rich.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
Yeah. It feels like the way that like for a
long time everybody was like, we gotta tear this Trump
guy down by pointing out that the stuff he does
is uncouth and not allowed in polite society, and it's like, no,
that's the that's his appeal. Like it feels like now
the left kind of has the advantage in that they

(47:36):
keep being like, well, if you elect a Zorn, the
rich are gonna have to move out of New York,
and everyone's like, fuck it, that's the thing, right, for real,
that's exactly what we want. Yeah, Michael Berg, he's scared.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
They're like great, you know, but imagine if that was
you imagine, yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
Completely emphasizing the wrong things. They don't understand how much everybody.
The only person who understands it is that poor luxury
good ceo who's losing sleep.

Speaker 3 (48:07):
Because I'm sure this is like a good People say,
you asked them, like, why was why was this big?
Somebody like because it's messy and this like guy got
caught cheating, and other people was like, yeah, because this
ceo got caught cheating.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
Yeah, it had every Yeah, it had everything for everyone. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (48:25):
Shout out the Coldplay fans because they really won the good.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
All right, we're at our number one story. It was
really a tough battle between this and the Coldplay thing.
But I do feel like this was a moment in
time that I feel like changed quite a bit. And
that I'm talking, of course about the Elon Musk Nazi salute,
which did happen at the beginning of this year. He

(48:52):
couldn't have been riding higher. Everyone was giving him credit
for winning the election. He was feeling himself a little
too much, and it was well doing a speech at
the inauguration.

Speaker 4 (49:06):
He stopped what he was doing, stepped to the side
of the lectern so you could see his boner, so you.

Speaker 2 (49:12):
Could see his whole body, and gave a Nazi salute
so violent and emphatic. It almost seemed like it was
like it was an alien hand syndrome, like Doctor Strangelove episode,
Like yeah, he was. It was like his whole body
had been overtaken by this thing that he'd been He'd

(49:33):
had a Nazi salute in his heart for so long,
and it just like burst forth. He had to emerge
from the chrysalis, basically, and then.

Speaker 4 (49:40):
He turned around and did it again, did it again,
doubled down, just missed it.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
The yep. The US mainstream media was at the time
in the midst of a well we must be wrong
about these guys if they if they keep winning, existential right.
They didn't know what to do with this one. Like
you still like when you google Elon Musk Nazi salute,

(50:09):
there's still.

Speaker 4 (50:10):
It was never stated as such by any mainstream outlet.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
No, no, what Elon Musk's salute was all about the
strange gesture is the thing I can say, Uh yeah,
Elon Musk salute controversy is what it says on Wikipedia,
like why people are arguing Nazi salutes are just a joke.
On NPR, Elon Musk makes Nazi style salute at Donald

(50:34):
Trump's inauguration and the style. Yeah, this is my favorite though,
Elon Musk and the history of the quote Roman salute.
And then you get, finally in the Google results, a
news source from outside of America, the Guardian, and it says,
the gesture speaks for itself. Germans respond to Musk's Nazi salute. Yeah,

(51:01):
no gesture has ever spoken more loudly for itself. That's
what you do to show you're a Nazi, is the thing.

Speaker 5 (51:08):
It's like, yeah, yeah, I mean even doctor strange Leve
tried to stop it.

Speaker 2 (51:12):
Yeah, the strange Leve was like holding onto his arm
and then like doing it. Yeah yeah, yeah, a lot
of other people. But like so the fallout from it,
and again I wanted to put this at number one
because it does it feels like it's still like muted
in the way that it was covered to the mainstream media.
But like the actual impact of it, like Tesla is

(51:34):
like in the ship, like Tesla can no longer be
a company that can like profit off of like the
public liking Tesla anymore. Like they they just like released
their their cheapest models ever and their sales dropped to
a four year low in November, like everybody is selling Tesla's,

(51:55):
nobody's buying Tesla's. Everybody like people had to start fucking
and putting on stickers to be like that car to
be like I'm not a Nazi. Uh, it's just it
feels like again like the rest of the world, and
even Tesla owners were like, oh no, that was pretty clear,
Like you guys in the mainstream media might not be

(52:17):
saying this, but this is where I get off right. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (52:20):
It's like the people are carving like swastikas into cyber
trucks and touching it the bumper would fall off or something.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
Oh yeah, it just prching a bunch of Tesla's. It was.

Speaker 3 (52:33):
People were like, oh so if you're a Nazi, then okay.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
This is kind of what this is what the reaction
is going to be.

Speaker 3 (52:39):
It's wild though, too, to see someone like Easy Kanye
be like out so out there with Nazism and people
were still rocking easies like you would like no, no, no,
that fuck that fuck that just are in the same
way where people are like, yo, this guy is just
out here being like I like Hitler, like yeah, but
the shoes are still cool, like it there's still The

(53:01):
Tesla thing was just too much, and I think also
because of his proximity to Trump, it just became it. Yeah,
it made it completely a very potent combination for people
to be like, yeah, fuck this thing and send the
brand What was that like thing about how like the
people's brand affinity or like they're just like positive feelings

(53:22):
towards Tesla had like dropped to Low's like no company,
like no automobile like to part.

Speaker 2 (53:27):
It's like no, no one, No one's angry at like
beauty gives a shit about like car companies like even
like like the worst you can do is like Pontiac
or something like that where for like where your.

Speaker 4 (53:40):
Car just explodes constantly. Right, and even they still don't
think of Pinto as harshly as Tesla.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
Right, It's yeah, the only thing you can do is
like be like that that car is kind of a junker.
Nobody's ever like that car represents the worst man.

Speaker 4 (53:54):
Tesla is the new Pinto because they don't have regular
fucking doorknobs and you can't get out the thing when
it's on fire all the time.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
You know what, people hate having to pull those door handles.
They want to be confused. They want they want a
little puzzle every time. They want to do a little puzzle.
First time I got into Tesla, someone picked me up. Wait,
how did you get in?

Speaker 3 (54:15):
Exactly? I was. I felt so stupid.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
I was like, what the fuck? What's going on? And
motherfucker had to get out the car to open it.

Speaker 3 (54:23):
And that's what I was like, Man, fuck this dumb
like it because I felt stupid opening it.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
That was what I was like.

Speaker 4 (54:28):
Man, No, you shouldn't need a computer to open a
car door.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
It's a car computer. Yeah. Was this the year also
the woman got stuck Mitch McConnell's like, sister in law
got stuck in one. I don't know, it's so seems
bad anyways, they're they're now switching to the new bread
and butter of the US economy, which is promising future
AI and UH and robots, because that nobody wants to

(54:58):
buy their fucking cars because he he could not hold
in the Nazi salute in his heart any longer. So
it's a good yeah, I mean, it's it'll be interesting
to see what the continued like flailing is from him
to try and keep keep because you know, the whole
thing with Tesla Stock is just people's belief in Musk
as like some kind of visionary but at this point,
like all he's coming up with or like shitty Kung

(55:20):
Fu robot, Yeah, shitty restaurant and Nazism. I will say
his overall crash out this year also did, Like I
remember there was a real reinvigoration of the attention in
the Epstein Files when he like got mad at Donald
Trump and was like, by the way Trump's in the

(55:40):
Epstein file. So like his overall crash out really did
help a lot of the Top five stories this year.
And you know, we hated him and hated all CEOs.
So it's all, yeah, that's all.

Speaker 5 (55:54):
Together now because this happened in like January, right, and yeah,
I feel like it did kind of set the tone
for the year.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
Yeah, it was just like wow, oh yeah, okay, so
it's that it's like that, yeah, like that that's the
way it is better go get the funk about your
back now. Oh man, god fucking year. What a year,
