Is so good to be back in 12 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: your years after the summer break, Billy, I hope you 13 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: have a lovely time off. 14 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 2: Thank you, Sam? I did did you? 15 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: I did? I did? I went to be on the 16 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: Valley one of my favorite pilgrimages of a music festival. 17 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: But now I'm really can you get stuck into it? 18 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 2: That is lovely final year of Beyond the Valley or 19 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 2: we're going to be back this year. 20 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: We'll decide in six months. And I've been saying final year. 21 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: For a couple of years, so okay, Well, we are 22 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 2: here to give you the audience a preview of what 23 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 2: is coming up this year, because as Sam said, it 24 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 2: will be a big one. We have the men's feef 25 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,199 Speaker 2: of World Cup. We have the census that only happens 26 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: every five years, and we finally have the lawsuit between 27 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 2: Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. So twenty twenty six does 28 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: seem to be a big year, and we are here 29 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: to break it down. 30 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: Billy, why don't we We don't normally do this, but 31 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: why don't we start with sport? Because I heard the 32 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: enthusiasm in your voice when you mentioned the fief of 33 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: World Cup. That's not the only big tournament this year. 34 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: No, well, I'm so excited because the Women's World Cup 35 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: was such a huge moment. Granted that was set in Australia. Wait, 36 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: but I want to go back to I'm going to 37 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: do it in chronological order of the big sport events 38 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 2: that are going to happen this year, starting in February, 39 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: which I always struggle to say, but we have the 40 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 2: Winter Olympics and Paralympics that will be in Italy, so 41 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: it is officially two years after the Summer Olympics, which 42 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 2: were in Paris. Olympics and Paralympics. You just can't get 43 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 2: better when it comes to everyone gathering around watching the 44 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 2: TV getting behind the Aussies. Always a brilliant time. 45 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: Or any sporting tournament that requires me to move my 46 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: dinner and pillow to the couch and set up camp 47 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: there for a month. 48 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 2: I do that too. 49 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: It's great. So I mean I think from memory, the 50 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: time zone for the Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Italy 51 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: isn't too bad for us here in Australia. There's going 52 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: to be some slightly more human times than the two 53 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: three four ams. It's not going to be great, but 54 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: it's definitely going to be worth watching. 55 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 2: It's so exciting. Okay, then we move to March where 56 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: we have the Women's Asian Cup. Now this will be 57 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 2: based in Australia. This will be in Gold Coast, Perth 58 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 2: and Sydney, and this will be such an exciting moment. 59 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 2: I think it will really build on the momentum of 60 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three Women's World Cup, which was in Australia. 61 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: The high Country got behind the Matildas. It felt like 62 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 2: one of those rare moments where literally everyone in the 63 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: country was talking about the exact same thing totally and 64 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: I imagine touch would if the Matildas do well, that 65 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 2: this will be similar to that, because once again it's 66 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 2: based in Australia. 67 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: And they've got some tough competition. There's a lot of 68 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: strong sides in the tournament. I think Japan is one 69 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: of the powerhouses of women's football. China South Korea are 70 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: very strong as well, and then there's a couple of 71 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: really fantastic emerging nations. New Zealand has a really good 72 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: side there as well. So it's going to be a competition. 73 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 2: But you know who else is strong, Tamka, Australia and Australia. Yes, 74 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 2: and so we have a mighty mighty chance and if 75 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: I know the mighty mighty Matilda's we have a mighty 76 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: mighty chance. 77 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: And that is a good time zone for us all 78 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: to watch. Then we go to June right where it's 79 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: the Men's World Cup. That is not a good time zone. 80 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: No, but I'm so excited. I remember us working together 81 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: on the last World Cup. Yeah, been here for too 82 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: long apparently. If we're back here. 83 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: Again measuring in World Cups, yeah. 84 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: But that will be the soccer rous They have qualified 85 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: for the World Cup once again, that will just be 86 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 2: so exciting. 87 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. And I was looking at the schedule the other day. 88 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: There's a Saturday night match. I think there's a Sunday 89 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: morning match. There's not two bad time zones as well, 90 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: really exciting and. 91 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 2: Then really into time zones. 92 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: Well, I always think ahead to how much is this 93 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: going to absolutely destroying my sleep cycle? 94 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 2: So you're just mentally preparing for that. 95 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: Now, I need to get the hours in now. But 96 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: then we've got the last kind of big, major international 97 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: sporting event is going to be late July early August 98 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: in Scotland. 99 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 2: Yes, that will be the Commonwealth Games. Yeah, once again, 100 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 2: such a great unifying moment for the whole country to 101 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: get around all of our audi athletes. Yeah, that will 102 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 2: be absolutely brilliant. 103 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see the appetite from us all 104 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: to really jump into this tournament. The tournament has struggled 105 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: in the last couple of rounds with its popularity and 106 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: its validity as a competition. Nonetheless, it's created some incredible moments. 107 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: Glasgow will put on a big show and wow, when 108 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: you take us through everything that's going to happen in sport. 109 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: This year, it's a big year, huge moments. 110 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: And then alongside that, let's go to a more traditional 111 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: kind of news round of politics. I guess we can 112 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: kind of look locally and overseas. Why don't we start 113 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: quickly with local politics. The news headlines still kind of 114 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: have a flavor of talking about some major policy implications 115 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: from December's mass shooting in Bondai. At both the state 116 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: and federal level. What do you kind of see is 117 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: the big moments in federal politics for the year to come. 118 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it will be interesting to see what happens with 119 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 2: gun laws in Australia. I think that will be a 120 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 2: huge moment. But then also looking at how the government 121 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: is supporting the Jewish community after that terror attack, and 122 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 2: then outside of that, you know, this isn't an election year, 123 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 2: so I guess based on that it shouldn't be a 124 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 2: huge politics year for Australia. I will say that one 125 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 2: thing that I think will come up is Susan Lee, 126 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 2: who is the opposition leader. She is the leader of 127 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 2: the Liberal Party. Last year, towards the end of last year, 128 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: there was a lot of speculation about whether or not 129 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 2: she will remain the Liberal leader. A few of her 130 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 2: colleagues seem very open about the fact that they want 131 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: her job, so I think that that conversation will continue 132 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 2: this year because at the end of last year it 133 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 2: didn't look like her job was safe. Yeah, I will 134 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 2: say that it has kind of quietened down a little bit, 135 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 2: but one to keep an eye on. 136 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: And I'm going to keep an eye on the tech 137 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: policy world this year. I think it's going to be 138 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: I mean, we had the age verification and limiting under 139 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: sixteens on social media come in late last year. There's 140 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: really increased chatter around the way in which our government 141 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,239 Speaker 1: engages with tech giants, especially in the era of AI 142 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: as well, so I think that's going to be a 143 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: major focus of the government. I'm also interested in how 144 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: they're going to look at environmental policy, which we haven't 145 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: spent a lot of time as a nation talking about 146 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. 147 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 2: No, well, the opposition started talking about it towards the 148 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: end of life last year as well, they announced their 149 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: environment policy. But yeah, you're absolutely right, that also will 150 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 2: be one to keep an eye on. 151 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: And then Billy, looking overseas, I think probably the big 152 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: headline here is the US midterms. 153 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 2: Yes, so in the US we have the midterms this year, 154 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: so that means that it is exactly two years after 155 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 2: the presidential election where Donald Trump was elected president for 156 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 2: a second time. So if you're not fully across this, 157 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 2: the midterms happen across all states for offices other than 158 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 2: the president or the vice president, and it's to decide 159 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 2: the makeup of the US's two bodies of government. So 160 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 2: we have the Senate and the House of Representatives, and 161 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 2: that's where laws get made in the US. At the moment, 162 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,239 Speaker 2: the Republican Party, which is the party that US President 163 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 2: Donald Trump is from, they have a majority in both 164 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: the House of Representatives and the Senate. And I would 165 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 2: say that the midterms are always seen as this halfway 166 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: point to reflect on how the country is seeing or 167 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 2: assessing the person that they elected and the party that 168 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 2: they're from. 169 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: It's kind of a performance review at the pole. 170 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 2: That is what I was looking for. That is exactly 171 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 2: the perfect way to describe it. So, yeah, it will 172 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 2: be interesting to see if the country sways more to 173 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 2: the Republican Party, who already have a lot of power 174 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 2: at the moment, or back towards the Democrats. 175 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: Really interesting to watch. That one that's right at the 176 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: end of the year, that's in November. One politics adjacent 177 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: story I thought would be worth mentioning. You mentioned it 178 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: before the census, so that's not kind of directly run 179 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,119 Speaker 1: by our politicians, but it's it's a big moment. 180 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 2: Big moment. It's a big night for the data nerds, 181 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 2: big big night. So every five years, if you're not 182 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 2: familiar with the census, every five years, the ABS counts 183 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 2: every single person and household in Australia in this scene 184 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 2: that is called the census, and it's basically like this 185 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 2: huge survey for the entire population. But it's different to 186 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 2: other surveys because usually surveys are only sample ye. But 187 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 2: what's great about this is that it's literally the entire 188 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 2: population and they ask you everything from your age, to 189 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 2: your religion, to what you do for your job. They 190 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 2: ask about your income and it's just a fascinating snapshot 191 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 2: of the country. 192 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 1: And every year, there's always every time the census is 193 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: rolled out, there's always some new questions and they make 194 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: some adjustments. 195 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 2: Yes, and this year will be the first time that 196 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 2: they ask questions on sexual orientation and gender for individuals 197 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 2: aged sixteen years and over, and so that will be 198 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 2: on the eleventh of August, market in your calendar. 199 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: And Billy, let's bring it home with your I think 200 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: your guilty pleasure. But also you would say, then it's 201 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: not a guilty pleasure, it's just a pleasure pleasure. Let's 202 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 1: go to pop culture. 203 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 2: I would say politics is my pleasure and pop culture 204 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: is my guilty. People. 205 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: Well, let's end with the guilty pleasure pop culture. What 206 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: are the big pop culture headlines to be looking for 207 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: this year? 208 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 2: Okay? So, as I mentioned in the intro, we have 209 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 2: Blake Lively and Baldoni's lawsuit. Now you might be thinking, 210 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 2: wasn't that thrown out? That's what you were thinking that 211 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 2: The answer is no, So only Baldoni's counter lawsuit was 212 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 2: thrown at. Right, So Baldoni just as a refresher, he 213 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 2: accused Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds or trying to 214 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 2: destroy his reputation by accusing him of sexual harassment. That 215 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 2: was a four hundred million dollar lawsuit and that was 216 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 2: dismissed by a judge in June last year. However, the 217 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 2: initial lawsuit, which was brought forward by Blake Lively at 218 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 2: the end of twenty twenty four, where she accused Baldoni 219 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 2: of harassment on the set of the film It ends 220 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 2: with us. That is still proceeding and that will happen 221 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 2: in March this. 222 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: Year, okay, and that'll be a massive Hollywood court case. 223 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: But on the other side of Hollywood, we have some 224 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: new releases coming out. 225 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,719 Speaker 2: I thought i'd go quickly through some of the new 226 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 2: movies that are coming up. So we have Devil Webs 227 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 2: Prada two number two. We have Toy Story Far. We 228 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 2: have Buthering Heights that features Margot Robbie and Jacob Alordi. 229 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 2: I feel like I've already been seeing that around quite 230 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 2: a bit. They've already started the promotion for that one. 231 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 2: We also have Moana the movie, which is a live 232 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: action remake of the animated film. We have another Spider 233 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 2: Man movie. Essentially, it's just a lot of classics continuing 234 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 2: their franchise, which is domination of Hollywood. 235 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, which is interesting. I think in the uncertainty of 236 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: Hollywood at the moment, with the presence of streaming players 237 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: becoming more powerful, how expensive is to make movies, I 238 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: think there's a lot of safe bets being placed on 239 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: franchises that have worked in the past by studios and yeah, 240 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: it looks like that's going to continue. Why don't we 241 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: take a quick look at music. 242 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 2: Okay, some new albums that you can expect this year, 243 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 2: we have Charlie XCX coming out with a new album, 244 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 2: Lana del Rey, Louis Tomlinson from one direction we'll be 245 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 2: making a return. We have Charlie Pooth and we also 246 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 2: have Asap Rocky. And then in terms of Ossie artists 247 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 2: who have announced that they are releasing albums this year, 248 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 2: we have the Kid l Roy coming out with a 249 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 2: new album and also Kelly Holiday, who saying dancing to 250 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 2: remember that one. 251 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: One of the biggest songs from twenty twenty five. Here 252 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: in hoping that. 253 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 2: You could sing it for us in case anyone doesn't 254 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 2: know what. 255 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: I'm just going to do the hit movements. 256 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: Okay, well, thank god this is an audio platform. He 257 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 2: will also be releasing an album this year. And then 258 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 2: my final note on pop culture and I'm glad that 259 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 2: you set this up as a guilty pleasure set. 260 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: Just can't help it. 261 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 2: I just can't help myself. This is entirely based on 262 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 2: gossip and rumors and there's absolutely no evidence that this 263 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 2: will happen this year, but I have to mention that 264 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 2: it likely could be the year that Taylor Swift and 265 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey get married. Your English teacher and your gym teacher, 266 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 2: as she said, And. 267 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: Are we going to have to talk about your leave 268 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: for that? Yeah, like how much you. 269 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 2: Actually get an invitation? And that's why I'm bringing it up. 270 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: I don't even think it's about you being physically there. 271 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: I just think that you're going to need some time 272 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: to sit in the room and look at the computer 273 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: just on waiting content. 274 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 2: I try to keep my love for Taylor Swift a 275 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 2: little bit closeted, and you're really exposing me right. 276 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: Well, you do a terrible job. And thank you so 277 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: much for running us through all of that, Billy. We 278 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: know you're going to be here all the way, taking 279 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: us through the events that we can predict, but also 280 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: the stuff we can't. And that's what is the magic 281 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: of news, and sometimes the tragedy, but often the beauty 282 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: of it is the biggest stories of the year we 283 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: don't know about yet.
