Speaker 1: Cool Zone Media, Welcome to it could happen here. This
Speaker 1: is our twenty twenty five predictions episode. We were starting
Speaker 1: to bicker off bike about what we predicted last year,
Speaker 1: and I was talking about the things we predicted, and
Speaker 1: one of the things I predicted early on, I was like,
Speaker 1: I think Kim Kardashian will be part of the Trump cabinet,
Speaker 1: and like, honestly goals.
Speaker 2: At this point, but I'm not that.
Speaker 1: Far off though, like because essentially what he has done
Speaker 1: is he's basically tried to go for people that are
Speaker 1: good on TV. It's true, It's true, and like going
Speaker 1: off of that reality TV energy.
Speaker 3: Finally we will acknowledge the Armenian genocide.
Speaker 2: I was I was vibing, okay, James.
Speaker 4: I was vibing genocide.
Speaker 3: Just James, all right, Viba side.
Speaker 1: God, all right, Mia Wogs here, I'm a Garrison's here,
Speaker 1: James Stout's here, and the dishonorable Robert Evans is also here.
Speaker 3: I judge that nickname bad Jesus Christ.
Speaker 4: Wow, let's let's go over some of our terrible twenty
Speaker 4: twenty four predictions just briefly. Now. Unfortunately, there was a
Speaker 4: lot of election ones which were very sad to listen to.
Speaker 4: Oh no, now, we were correct about many things we did.
Speaker 4: We did talk about how Harris would probably be a
Speaker 4: really bad candidate to run against Trump totally forgot about that.
Speaker 4: We did.
Speaker 3: We did huge duff for us. Yeah, for the country.
Speaker 3: That brief period of time when Biden stepped down, it
Speaker 3: really felt like it might be I mean, she did
Speaker 3: better than he would have done. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, I think that's just because we were still just
Speaker 4: reeling from that debate, because so bad that like anything
Speaker 4: was like, oh my god, there's like a life.
Speaker 3: Look at how she can walk thirty forty feet at
Speaker 3: a time, exact exact sentence. Good God.
Speaker 4: None of us picked specifically at at that point in time,
Speaker 4: but we did pinpoint Trump's orbit and his like campaign
Speaker 4: like hmm crew pretty well, like Mia predicted that RFK
Speaker 4: Junior could be a Trump VP pick, and though he
Speaker 4: didn't become VP, he essentially kind of took over the
Speaker 4: VP like campaigning role from vans in.
Speaker 3: Like Augusta was so bad at it, we.
Speaker 4: All decided that like vivec was simply like way too
Speaker 4: loud and like obnoxious, so Trump would like find some
Speaker 4: other spot for him.
Speaker 2: Stand by that and that's what happened.
Speaker 4: He's still in the orbit, but he's not super close.
Speaker 4: So if he talked about possibly Christine nome As is
Speaker 4: getting LinkedIn with Trump maybe for VP. Now that didn't
Speaker 4: happen for VP, but christineoam is in the cabinet.
Speaker 2: Good job passed me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Robert said that he would not be shocked
Speaker 4: if Trump got close with Tulca Gabbert and other less
Speaker 4: good predictions. I predicted that a d why our host
Speaker 4: would get pied unfortunately did not come to pass. There's
Speaker 4: still time.
Speaker 3: It's still twenty twenty fours, right.
Speaker 4: Not when this airs, not when this air. Yes, Kim
Speaker 4: Kardashian getting into politics, it didn't really happen. She kind
Speaker 4: of stated at her regular coast level. Sorry, Sophie, so far.
Speaker 2: Trust me.
Speaker 1: She did all those things when Trump was elected the
Speaker 1: first time, where all of a sudden she was, like
Speaker 1: with other lawyers trying to get people out of jail
Speaker 1: by utilizing Trump.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and she was doing that with the
Speaker 4: Biden campaign as well, not as visible a Harris campaign.
Speaker 4: She was meeting with Harris multiple times. She kind of
Speaker 4: stayed at this like distant but like talkative place.
Speaker 1: That's the Kardashian way, distant and talkative.
Speaker 4: Speaking of speaking of your other prediction was that people
Speaker 4: would start forgetting about the Nazi stuff and Kanye would
Speaker 4: put out a well received album, which kind of happens. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: a little bit.
Speaker 1: God, I haven't about Kanye in so many months. It
Speaker 1: was really nice, well, really nice, thanks Garrison.
Speaker 4: Lastly, my failed prediction is that if Trump won the election,
Speaker 4: that there would be two solid weeks of writing which
Speaker 4: simply did not happen.
Speaker 3: Yes, nothing happened.
Speaker 4: Think it's actually kind of interesting, and we will maybe
Speaker 4: unpack that in the coming months as Trump's second term
Speaker 4: kind of settles in. I'm sure we will kind of
Speaker 4: revisit why we think this did not happen. Certainly, I'm
Speaker 4: curious about what inauguration Day will look like. But but yeah,
Speaker 4: that was a lot so sorry. Morsey is still alive,
Speaker 4: David David Scavenger is still alive, Putin is still alive.
Speaker 4: And though James did say that Asad would eat it,
Speaker 4: and though a Sad didn't die, he kind of did
Speaker 4: eat it.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I mean James, Yeah, that's that's not gonna
Speaker 3: be the biggest dub of the year. That's right, Damn,
Speaker 3: I forgot no one about that. Really happy with myself.
Speaker 2: Now, James, I'm so proud of you, buddy.
Speaker 3: You got to pick another one this year. Yeah, may
Speaker 3: On long baby, he's next.
Speaker 4: Let's I guess let's start with some kind of dictator predictions.
Speaker 4: What do we think will happen to like a dictator
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: Which is Hace is gonna die? Do we think? Go
Speaker 3: just general dictator predictions?
Speaker 4: Dictator predictions. It can be maybe we get a new one,
Speaker 4: you know, maybe we get a new fancy one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I don't know. Yeah, something's happening in January.
Speaker 5: I have two well one of them, I mean it's
Speaker 5: kind of a hack one, but I don't think. I
Speaker 5: don't think the Juneo memr makes out of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think not in the version is today.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the hack one. The the other one is
Speaker 5: another Assad one. Is I think someone actually does assassinate
Speaker 5: a sod Well, he's like like he he gets too
Speaker 5: full of himself and he goes to Abi Dabi and
Speaker 5: some moze brotherhood guy just wax him.
Speaker 4: Yep, Okay, may Assad prediction is he becomes a Russia
Speaker 4: Today hosts. That's my assad prediction.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know he's going to open his ophthalmology clinic.
Speaker 3: No, I mean I think he's going to get signed
Speaker 3: to host a podcast by a little a little network
Speaker 3: you might have heard of called cool Zone Media. Congratulations, guys,
Speaker 3: let's bring him on. So if you get him on
Speaker 3: the get him on the zoom, tell him you can.
Speaker 3: You can hop in the room now for sure, baby.
Speaker 4: We are merging with Tennant Media to bring up our friend.
Speaker 6: Yeah, welcome to the podha.
Speaker 3: He's actually doing a whole media tour with the pod
Speaker 3: Save guys next week. That's got to be fascinating.
Speaker 6: Pod Save bathis Syria be the most cursed podcast in
Speaker 6: the world.
Speaker 1: My Dictator slash World Leader prediction is that despite being
Speaker 1: nen Yahoo's I was thinking, yeah, last ride.
Speaker 3: From your mouth to whatever fucking clot is working its
Speaker 3: way through his coronary.
Speaker 2: In a year. I really fucking hope. I'm really fucking hope.
Speaker 2: I'm right, we all do.
Speaker 3: I don't know what else to say there, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's a big thing for the world.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, we are verging into not doing predictions
Speaker 4: just doing hopes and dreams.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well I did Morrissey like that last year. We
Speaker 6: didn't get it, and I'm sack.
Speaker 4: We need some hopes and dreams out in the world.
Speaker 2: Fair enough.
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you know what else? We need team money
Speaker 4: from these advertisers. That's right, and we.
Speaker 1: Are back, all right, Garrison, what's next?
Speaker 4: So usually in the middle of these prediction episodes, I
Speaker 4: like doing our like third annual death segment, who do
Speaker 4: we think will die? And I guess we kind of
Speaker 4: touched on this briefly, but I don't think we actually
Speaker 4: secure death for any of those people in our predictions,
Speaker 4: just that they would, you know, have circumstances change. Though
Speaker 4: for this year's death segment we have. We have a
Speaker 4: bit of a twist. So it turns out about two
Speaker 4: years ago on Spotify Wrapped day, we all woke up
Speaker 4: to the news that both Angela BATTLEMENTI was embarrassingly my
Speaker 4: number one Spotify artist that year, but also that Henry
Speaker 4: Kissinger died and this Spotify rap today we will come
Speaker 4: to the news that the United Healthcare CEO was gunned
Speaker 4: down in New York City. So Spotify Rapped twenty twenty
Speaker 4: five who's dying, Who's who's dying on Spotify rap to day,
Speaker 4: So this is like what late November, early December, we
Speaker 4: don't really know Spotify rapped death day predictions.
Speaker 1: So long, Farewell Loved, are saying good bye, Mitch McConnell.
Speaker 3: Oh that's a good one. That's an easy one, Okay,
Speaker 3: I'll give it to you.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking, like, who's got to get through most of
Speaker 4: the year but not finish it out. You know, it's tough.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make my call tye up resip air to one.
Speaker 3: You know. That's that's that's my hope. That's a long shot.
Speaker 3: I know, yes, he doesn't seem like he's in bad health,
Speaker 3: but that's a big one.
Speaker 4: Kiss Kissinger was a long shot too, because he was
Speaker 4: like arguably immortals.
Speaker 3: He'd kept living for so fucking long.
Speaker 1: Ah, so long, Farewell Love Eater, say goodbye Musk.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say that. I think he might die.
Speaker 4: You think we're finally gonna get that drug overdose.
Speaker 3: I just he just seems to be spiraling so hard.
Speaker 2: Right now, the spirals mad real.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's getting everything he wants, though, But I mean
Speaker 3: that that also.
Speaker 4: It's it's true.
Speaker 3: Sometimes that's dangerous, yeah, especially if you are addicted to
Speaker 3: a drug that you can get in unlimited, pure quantities
Speaker 3: and no one will ever say no to handing it
Speaker 3: to you.
Speaker 4: We have some more must predictions for later on the episode. Okay,
Speaker 4: but I can see of some, you know, like fantously
Speaker 4: the Secret Service, you know, not not great at hiding
Speaker 4: there own drug problems. I can I can see possibly
Speaker 4: with Musk entering a new level of comfort, maybe the
Speaker 4: spiraling a little a little too far out of his.
Speaker 3: Control, and two Secret Service stations are found dead with
Speaker 3: Fitnyl infected blow.
Speaker 4: Maybe a SpaceX launch goes really wrong. Who's to say?
Speaker 4: Who's to say? Damn? I gotta think of who? Who?
Speaker 4: My who? My Spotify rapped Day death is.
Speaker 5: I have a long shot. Oh yeah, My long shot
Speaker 5: is that sometime on Spotify rap Day, JK Rolling sees
Speaker 5: a trans woman just like existing and gets so mad.
Speaker 3: She has an aneurysm and dies.
Speaker 4: She's looking through the Spotify wraps and she knows that
Speaker 4: trans would make the best music, and she she sees it,
Speaker 4: gets so mad she just she just kills over.
Speaker 6: She transvestigates every single female artist on the Spotify rap
Speaker 6: list and dies of sleep deprivation.
Speaker 5: Doing so her her own fans start transvestigating her.
Speaker 3: This is the edge.
Speaker 4: Okay, I have a real long shot here, but I
Speaker 4: can see how it could happen. So we're we're in.
Speaker 4: We're in like what like month, month ten eleven of
Speaker 4: Trump term two. Right, the right wing nazi content creators
Speaker 4: are settling, are settling into their into their kind of groove.
Speaker 4: Some of them aren't really happy at Trump, not like
Speaker 4: you know, carrying on all of all of his big
Speaker 4: lofty promises. And one one disgruntled fan of Nick Fuentes
Speaker 4: does something crazy on Spotify rapped day, and that's that's
Speaker 4: that's My prediction is that somehow something really weird like
Speaker 4: like stalker or fan does something to to mister Fuentes.
Speaker 4: Just pure prediction on like just like what would be
Speaker 4: the oddest, oddest thing to happen, but something that could
Speaker 4: totally make sense. Maybe it's like an old like Kanye fan,
Speaker 4: you know, from Kanye and Nicks from his na Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't know. I feel like it's it's his fandom's
Speaker 4: getting close enough to pull some like weird crazy shit
Speaker 4: like that on like a weird like on like a
Speaker 4: on like a deeply parasocially destructive level, like Stephen King's misery.
Speaker 4: A misery happens to Nick Quintes, but he doesn't, but
Speaker 4: he doesn't make it, he doesn't make it out. That's
Speaker 4: that's my Spotify wrapped prediction.
Speaker 3: I have said for years Nick Flintes is going to
Speaker 3: go down live probably maybe maybe live. He's gonna go
Speaker 3: down like George Lincoln Rockwell. It is not going to
Speaker 3: be like an enemy of his, that does it. It's
Speaker 3: going to be a result of his incredibly messy personal life. Yeah,
Speaker 3: like someone is going to take him down. M hm,
Speaker 3: like it's it's that Yeah, Yeah, that feels right.
Speaker 2: Do we have a non categorized predictions? Is it that
Speaker 2: time yet?
Speaker 4: Sure? Now that we have, we have finished our Spotify
Speaker 4: wrapped predictions, And I do not know who my top
Speaker 4: artists will be. This last year it was Trent resnor
Speaker 4: so salute that's like, okay, Garrison Challenger soundtrack, that thing
Speaker 4: fucking bops.
Speaker 1: I tried to make Robert watch that on the way
Speaker 1: to oh is it the d n C or the
Speaker 1: r n C, I don't remember, and but he wouldn't
Speaker 1: watch it with headphones and so it was just on
Speaker 1: on the plane.
Speaker 4: I think it was the DNC. That's terrible.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think I was reading a Nick Land.
Speaker 4: Honestly, that's a vibe that actually pairs quite well.
Speaker 3: I landed completely deranged. It was great. Ready to work.
Speaker 2: A prediction.
Speaker 1: A prediction that I have is that like Trump basically
Speaker 1: tries to move a lot of the main time he
Speaker 1: spends to mar Alago versus the White House. Like I
Speaker 1: feel like he's going to make mar al Lago some
Speaker 1: like national monument type shit so that he can take
Speaker 1: whatever the fuck documents he wants from the White House
Speaker 1: to mar A Lago and spend as much time there
Speaker 1: as he wants and make that like a national residence
Speaker 1: or some shit.
Speaker 3: Went to White House.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the whiter House, we could call it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so true. True. Since No, I'm kind of interested
Speaker 3: to watch what happens with AOC over the next year,
Speaker 3: because she has definitely become to a lot of folks
Speaker 3: that progressive and on the left like a villain over
Speaker 3: the last year. And I kind of wouldn't be surprised if, like,
Speaker 3: in assuming there's still politics in twenty years, when we're
Speaker 3: talking to young people. They think of her like Pelosi,
Speaker 3: and we're like, oh, you've got to understand when things
Speaker 3: started out, this was a very different person.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah. And I'm not saying that's a fair way
Speaker 3: to characterize her now or where she'll go. I'm just saying, like,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be shocked if that's the way a lot
Speaker 3: of folks are looking at it in fucking a few years,
Speaker 3: because I'm saying I'm hearing a lot of that now. Yeah,
Speaker 3: people are very angry at her over largely Gaza. But yeah,
Speaker 3: also the fact that she and Bernie both tried to
Speaker 3: back Biden kind of yeah late in his uh centicence.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Okay, My My big one for the year is
Speaker 5: this is the this is the year the economy finally collapses, Like,
Speaker 5: this is the year you find out that no company
Speaker 5: has made any fucking money in a decade. It's all
Speaker 5: been being pumped up by like a deranged combination of
Speaker 5: interest rate bullshit, a bunch of fucking money from like
Speaker 5: overnight repo purchases, keeping the banks propped up. And I
Speaker 5: don't know if it's gonna be the trade war that
Speaker 5: fucking blows it up, although I think that will instantly
Speaker 5: detonate everything. I don't know, maybe it's maybe it's a
Speaker 5: Chinese housing bubble, maybe type bubble, find the collapse, maybe
Speaker 5: all three of them hit at the same time. This
Speaker 5: is the year fucking goes. I've never actually put my
Speaker 5: name down down on this on the show. On any
Speaker 5: other fucking year. This is the year the zombie economy
Speaker 5: will fall over dead. The necromancy cannot hold.
Speaker 3: I guess my prediction is that the economy is going
Speaker 3: to be basically identical to the Biden economy in that
Speaker 3: we're going to get like fucked up inflation and people
Speaker 3: are going to be very angry, and the number will
Speaker 3: continue to go up on the stock market because that's
Speaker 3: kind of what it's designed to do. That's my theory.
Speaker 2: And the housing market will still be trash.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we will never afford homes and housing's just gonna
Speaker 3: get more expensive. It will be interesting to see Trump's
Speaker 3: entire all of his backers and his whole media. Like.
Speaker 3: One thing that will be easier for the left is
Speaker 3: really hitting conservatives on inflation as it gets horrible again
Speaker 3: or continues to suck, because that's, you know, at this point,
Speaker 3: just a factor of the economy is intended. Yeah, that
Speaker 3: they all have to pretend, isn't. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And before we go to a break, I just want
Speaker 2: to say the price of eggs will go up.
Speaker 3: I need to get chickens now. Oh yeah, this bird
Speaker 3: flu thing is not gonna help with eggs. Oh boy,
Speaker 3: oh boy, get your eggs now, by one hundred, by
Speaker 3: thousands of dollars of eggs.
Speaker 6: Now, there was some kind of device to make eggs
Speaker 6: and you could have in your own God, Oh.
Speaker 1: My goodness, it's time for ads.
Speaker 4: I guess to piggyback off of Robert and MEA's predictions
Speaker 4: there in the economy. My prediction is that once I
Speaker 4: finally launched cool zone coin this year, I'm gonna make
Speaker 4: a big If the economy is gonna go down, I
Speaker 4: am gonna be going up. Everyone's gonna start buying cool
Speaker 4: zone coin because the US dollar becomes worthless. Bitcoin's gonna
Speaker 4: crash too. It's fake, but cool zone coin has real
Speaker 4: fungible value.
Speaker 3: Well yeah. The thing about cool zone coin that makes
Speaker 3: it different from all of the other crypto coins is
Speaker 3: that it is really based on a fundamentally limited and
Speaker 3: valuable resource, which is movies from the nineties that I
Speaker 3: showed Garrison and they actually liked. So, you know, there's
Speaker 3: there's only so many cool Zone coins that can be
Speaker 3: in circulation.
Speaker 4: We're lucky I was in Portland this Christmas because we
Speaker 4: really stocked up a few more of those nineties classics
Speaker 4: to bump up the price of cool Zone coin going
Speaker 4: into twenty twenty five.
Speaker 6: That's right, everybody, Wow, sell your house by cool Zone coin.
Speaker 3: Have you seen Hook Garrison?
Speaker 4: I have seen Hook like, oh.
Speaker 3: Of course, of course, good, Yeah, a classic.
Speaker 2: Have you seen Wickerman nineteen seventy three?
Speaker 4: You know, I actually haven't. I've been waiting to catch
Speaker 4: it in the theater.
Speaker 2: We will make this happen at some point necessary.
Speaker 4: I would I would love too. I would love too.
Speaker 6: I bet one thing. I think it's very predictable. Borders
Speaker 6: stuff will stunt on another caravan of migrants, and I
Speaker 6: think it's pretty easy for them to kind of organize
Speaker 6: that and make that happen, and it will be a
Speaker 6: way for Trump to flex his border fascism. Yeah, much
Speaker 6: like he did in twenty eighteen. Maybe they'll wait till
Speaker 6: the midterms again, there's always a fun border disaster for
Speaker 6: the midterms.
Speaker 2: Could I just do one. That might not be a prediction,
Speaker 2: but like a Sophie.
Speaker 3: Hope, sure, yeah, get it.
Speaker 2: Something has to happen to those Paul brothers.
Speaker 3: Oh, Sophie, Oh yeah that's possible. Yeah. My prediction for
Speaker 3: the Paul brothers is that one of them dies within
Speaker 3: the next five years, and one of them lives to
Speaker 3: be one hundred and seven. Oh that tracks sure.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they decide to take on Bob Dylan in a
Speaker 6: boxing match and only one of them survives.
Speaker 3: I think Bob Dylan'll live in this next year.
Speaker 6: But I've just found Bob Dylan's tweets the purest thing.
Speaker 6: He just tweets about what he's doing.
Speaker 3: What a hero.
Speaker 1: Netflix paying Jake Paul to billions of dollars to fight
Speaker 1: nine hundred year old Mike Tyson and then Jake Paul
Speaker 1: coming in on like a vintage car and spraying his
Speaker 1: product and it having higher streaming numbers than the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3: Is that real?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 5: To be fair, that was a rancid super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Rancid super Bowl. This this cannot this cannot be.
Speaker 3: Most of us just turned in on the off Chane,
Speaker 3: so Jake Paul would die.
Speaker 4: Yes, that is true. That is true.
Speaker 3: Or at least get bitten.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, all of us were hoping that Mike Tyson
Speaker 1: was not in fact sixty years old.
Speaker 2: But he is sixty years old.
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, some god, Yeah something, something's gotta give. Oh,
Speaker 1: and there won't be a left wing Joe Rogan, thank
Speaker 1: you so much.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know, Sophie.
Speaker 4: As soon as we logicals so good, I think we
Speaker 4: can really.
Speaker 2: Oh there'll be so there'll be somebody trying to.
Speaker 3: Be Oh Sorphie, there already.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: By the way, it's time for me to do our
Speaker 3: new ad plug. You've heard of how good elk meat
Speaker 3: is for you, and you've heard of how liver is
Speaker 3: a superfood. Well now try new Elk liver steaks. It's
Speaker 3: just just ground up liver shoved inside a steak. I
Speaker 3: send it through the mail through FedEx five day delivery.
Speaker 3: It is not refrigerated in any way.
Speaker 4: No refrigeration.
Speaker 6: It's better at roop temp, better at ROOPTEMP to get
Speaker 6: the healthy bacteria.
Speaker 3: It gives you mystical powers.
Speaker 4: Of One of my I guess more hopes and its
Speaker 4: still partial predictions, is that National Guard gets into a
Speaker 4: scuffle with border patrol in some kind of blue state.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, good chance.
Speaker 4: We have some brave and strong governor is gonna is
Speaker 4: gonna salute the troops and send out our proud National
Speaker 4: Guard boys to fight off ice. That's just a battle
Speaker 4: I would love to see. I've wanted to see that
Speaker 4: ever since Portland twenty twenty, to see National Guard troops
Speaker 4: fight against federal forces.
Speaker 3: Two groups of men who don't really know how to
Speaker 3: use their guns, using their guns. No, it's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 4: So battle, I've wanted to see you for like five years.
Speaker 3: Who's plate carriers at the top closer to their nipples?
Speaker 3: It's anyone's game.
Speaker 4: I need to see it. I need to see it.
Speaker 4: Come on.
Speaker 3: I would like to see it from a distance, because
Speaker 3: that would be a shit show. Yeah, from a sizable distance.
Speaker 4: Yeah, General Whitmer, let's go.
Speaker 3: Let's go expensing a fucking telescope for that firefight? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: a periscope. Maybe I trust the Iraqi Army more than
Speaker 3: either of those sides.
Speaker 6: I've seen a lot of dudes five guns while ducking
Speaker 6: behind a KB holding the gun.
Speaker 3: I love you.
Speaker 6: And then it does look fun. It does look fun.
Speaker 6: It is, Yeah, definitely, I would like to do that.
Speaker 6: But they kicked me out the range every time because
Speaker 6: of woke how sad. Well, not anymore, James, Yeah, that's
Speaker 6: also the casualties. Yet not any more, James Wolke is beaten. Yeah,
Speaker 6: that's right. Yeah, they wait went, they went broke. I'm
Speaker 6: going to buy the range, that's right, and we'll all
Speaker 6: fall from behind the bentress.
Speaker 4: Now, oh mama. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Other predictions, maybe we'll get a good solid couple of
Speaker 6: weeks of writing again, and that Garrison said, like, maybe
Speaker 6: it'll only take a year or two this time.
Speaker 4: I don't think that anymore.
Speaker 3: Something will have to change. Yeah, there will have to
Speaker 3: be a material change in either organizing or social conditions,
Speaker 3: because people will need to either be vastly more desperate
Speaker 3: than they are right now, or they will need to
Speaker 3: have a specific reason to think, well, this time, getting
Speaker 3: out in the street might do something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we're gonna kind of continue the trends
Speaker 4: that that we've been seeing, which which points towards a
Speaker 4: bit of an apathy, towards like like big popular mobilizations,
Speaker 4: and more towards kind of bizarre lone wolf attacks, something
Speaker 4: that you know could be slightly even it's a slightly
Speaker 4: problematic or you know, possibly darker productions. I think we'll
Speaker 4: have like a really bad Luigi copycat within the next
Speaker 4: like four months.
Speaker 6: Sure, yes, the years of Luigi, Like, it's not gonna
Speaker 6: be good.
Speaker 3: It's not gonna be good. There's probably gonna be a
Speaker 3: situation where some guy either gets the best case is
Speaker 3: that he gets killed immediately by the dude's security. The
Speaker 3: worst case is there's a big public firefight and a
Speaker 3: whole fuck let of people get hit.
Speaker 6: Yeah, didn't I predict that there would be a big
Speaker 6: public crime with a three D printed gun last year?
Speaker 4: I think that was the year before we talked about that.
Speaker 3: Oh damn, okay, so close and.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I mean this, this certainly does kind
Speaker 4: of fit that mold. We'll see how much that like
Speaker 4: gets focused on in the trial and like continued reporting.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and in that legislation too, I missed a death.
Speaker 6: We can also include it in the hope section. Matthew Iglesias,
Speaker 6: that motherfucker, motherfucker has been standing bullshit for twenty years.
Speaker 6: It just it cannot continue. He's lost a juice a
Speaker 6: little bit. I think he sees on the way out,
Speaker 6: all right.
Speaker 3: Something very funny did just happen that we should talk
Speaker 3: about as a team. Senator Doug Mastriano, taught a thirty
Speaker 3: year US Army veteran who taught at the War College,
Speaker 3: just tweeted an indignant, furious tweet about the US government
Speaker 3: not being honest with Americans about like what's happening with
Speaker 3: these drones? And yeah, and the picture of the crash
Speaker 3: drone is a tie fighter. That's like a model tie
Speaker 3: fighter on the bed of a flatbed.
Speaker 4: Yes, we've all lost our mind.
Speaker 3: Hot at the US Army War College, they're not sending
Speaker 3: their best people. Oh fuck, that's funny, amazing stuff. That's
Speaker 3: one of the best things I've seen out here. Oh
Speaker 3: good me.
Speaker 4: Finally, I like the closer predictions a little bit. On
Speaker 4: Trump's cabinet. I think it's pretty pretty sick to say,
Speaker 4: considering his last presidency, we'll have at least one third
Speaker 4: cabinet turnover by the end of the year. Yeah, this
Speaker 4: is something that we've been talking about a lot. When
Speaker 4: do we think Musk is gonna get the boot? And
Speaker 4: based on the way Trump's kind of positioned him, I'm
Speaker 4: not sure if it's gonna be as soon as what
Speaker 4: we all kind of initially thought because Trump has kept
Speaker 4: him out of his inner orbit but pretty solidly in
Speaker 4: his middle orbit, like he's not in any like real position. Right, yeah,
Speaker 4: he has Doge, but like, come on.
Speaker 3: It just came out that he's not gonna be able
Speaker 3: to get a high the highest security clearance.
Speaker 1: There you go, funny, but like he has him sitting
Speaker 1: next to his family at Thanksgiving totally.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, no, totally. And especially in like the
Speaker 4: three weeks after the election, they were like they were
Speaker 4: like honeymoon, right they were. They were neck and neck
Speaker 4: and something that's gonna like start dissipating. Musk can't get
Speaker 4: fully booted out because like you know, the federal government
Speaker 4: needs SpaceX and and unlike Musk's other like technologies, so
Speaker 4: like they will remain friendly, but like you're not going
Speaker 4: to be in the close position that they are now.
Speaker 4: I initially I put that date for being March twentieth,
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five, you know, a two months after inauguration day.
Speaker 4: It's it's enough time to get you know, for for
Speaker 4: someone like Trump to get tired of Musk's like personality.
Speaker 4: But I think I might stretch that out a little
Speaker 4: bit more now than my initial prediction. I think I
Speaker 4: think they might do a little bit more of a
Speaker 4: long term game here. But that also means that that
Speaker 4: MUSK maybe will not have as much like constant influence
Speaker 4: as what it was first looking like in those like,
Speaker 4: you know, three months after the election.
Speaker 3: I think that RFK Junior is probably at pushed out
Speaker 3: of the picture before Musk is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if he tries to get rid of the fucking
Speaker 1: polio vaccine, it's gonna be a real quick trip to
Speaker 1: the unemployment line for Bobby Boy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really I don't think Trump's that reckquest. No,
Speaker 3: that would be quite quite a line to get rid
Speaker 3: of the polio vac See.
Speaker 6: Trump's so so old, like he remembers he's old.
Speaker 1: But if, but if RFK Junior could get the wheat
Speaker 1: ingredient out of the McDonald's fries, I'd be most obliged.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, I'm I'm sure that he's gonna He's
Speaker 4: gonna reverse one hundred years of corn subsidies and get
Speaker 4: corn served out of our Coca Cola. I believe in RFK.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel pretty good about the continuing legality of
Speaker 3: Kraton as long as he's the HHS head there you go.
Speaker 3: All it's gonna take, is one of Joe Rogan's friends,
Speaker 3: speaking in his ear.
Speaker 4: We'll be all right, We're gonna have legally required DMT
Speaker 4: for everyone in the country.
Speaker 3: Yeah, why not. I think we need and I've been
Speaker 3: I've been saying this for years. We need to put
Speaker 3: the lithium back in the water. We also need to
Speaker 3: use those crop dusting planes and just like fill them
Speaker 3: with xanax. Just just just calm everyone down, take everything
Speaker 3: back a couple of steps.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna go pet some dogs. So the
Speaker 1: podcast is over.
Speaker 4: Happy New Year, everyone, Happy, Happy new everyone. I do
Speaker 4: want everyone to pick one thing that that that they're
Speaker 4: going to do this year that will improve their life,
Speaker 4: however small. For me, I'm gonna get a new mirror.
Speaker 4: We're gonna all pick one thing. We call that Project
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five. It's what one thing we can do
Speaker 4: to improve our lives and you know, and then by extension,
