WEBVTT - What to expect for 2026

0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Already and this is this is the Daily Off.

0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:06.840
<v Speaker 2>This is the Daily oss. Oh now it makes sense.

0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:17.479
<v Speaker 2>Good morning and welcome to the Daily Ods. It's Monday,

0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 2>the fifth of January.

0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:20.439
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back, Welcome back.

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:23.400
<v Speaker 2>I have that new year, new energy vibe. I am

0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:24.320
<v Speaker 2>ready for this year.

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:27.160
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be a good year twenty twenty six.

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:29.560
<v Speaker 1>It's got massive things in store, not just for us

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>at TDA, but for I think the country in the

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>world as well. Is so good to be back in

0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>your years after the summer break, Billy, I hope you

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>have a lovely time off.

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Sam? I did did you?

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 1>I did? I did? I went to be on the

0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:44.879
<v Speaker 1>Valley one of my favorite pilgrimages of a music festival.

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:47.199
<v Speaker 1>But now I'm really can you get stuck into it?

0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:49.680
<v Speaker 2>That is lovely final year of Beyond the Valley or

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 2>we're going to be back this year.

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 1>We'll decide in six months. And I've been saying final year.

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 2>For a couple of years, so okay, Well, we are

0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 2>here to give you the audience a preview of what

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 2>is coming up this year, because as Sam said, it

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 2>will be a big one. We have the men's feef

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:12.199
<v Speaker 2>of World Cup. We have the census that only happens

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 2>every five years, and we finally have the lawsuit between

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. So twenty twenty six does

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 2>seem to be a big year, and we are here

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 2>to break it down.

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Billy, why don't we We don't normally do this, but

0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.480
<v Speaker 1>why don't we start with sport? Because I heard the

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 1>enthusiasm in your voice when you mentioned the fief of

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>World Cup. That's not the only big tournament this year.

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 2>No, well, I'm so excited because the Women's World Cup

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 2>was such a huge moment. Granted that was set in Australia. Wait,

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 2>but I want to go back to I'm going to

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 2>do it in chronological order of the big sport events

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 2>that are going to happen this year, starting in February,

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 2>which I always struggle to say, but we have the

0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Winter Olympics and Paralympics that will be in Italy, so

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 2>it is officially two years after the Summer Olympics, which

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.919
<v Speaker 2>were in Paris. Olympics and Paralympics. You just can't get

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 2>better when it comes to everyone gathering around watching the

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 2>TV getting behind the Aussies. Always a brilliant time.

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Or any sporting tournament that requires me to move my

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>dinner and pillow to the couch and set up camp

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 1>there for a month.

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:22.079
<v Speaker 2>I do that too.

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 1>It's great. So I mean I think from memory, the

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:29.360
<v Speaker 1>time zone for the Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Italy

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>isn't too bad for us here in Australia. There's going

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 1>to be some slightly more human times than the two

0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>three four ams. It's not going to be great, but

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:39.639
<v Speaker 1>it's definitely going to be worth watching.

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 2>It's so exciting. Okay, then we move to March where

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.640
<v Speaker 2>we have the Women's Asian Cup. Now this will be

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 2>based in Australia. This will be in Gold Coast, Perth

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 2>and Sydney, and this will be such an exciting moment.

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.080
<v Speaker 2>I think it will really build on the momentum of

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 2>the twenty twenty three Women's World Cup, which was in Australia.

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 2>The high Country got behind the Matildas. It felt like

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 2>one of those rare moments where literally everyone in the

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 2>country was talking about the exact same thing totally and

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 2>I imagine touch would if the Matildas do well, that

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 2>this will be similar to that, because once again it's

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 2>based in Australia.

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>And they've got some tough competition. There's a lot of

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 1>strong sides in the tournament. I think Japan is one

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 1>of the powerhouses of women's football. China South Korea are

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 1>very strong as well, and then there's a couple of

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 1>really fantastic emerging nations. New Zealand has a really good

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>side there as well. So it's going to be a competition.

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 2>But you know who else is strong, Tamka, Australia and Australia. Yes,

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 2>and so we have a mighty mighty chance and if

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 2>I know the mighty mighty Matilda's we have a mighty

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 2>mighty chance.

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 1>And that is a good time zone for us all

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>to watch. Then we go to June right where it's

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 1>the Men's World Cup. That is not a good time zone.

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 2>No, but I'm so excited. I remember us working together

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 2>on the last World Cup. Yeah, been here for too

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 2>long apparently. If we're back here.

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Again measuring in World Cups, yeah.

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 2>But that will be the soccer rous They have qualified

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 2>for the World Cup once again, that will just be

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 2>so exciting.

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And I was looking at the schedule the other day.

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 1>There's a Saturday night match. I think there's a Sunday

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>morning match. There's not two bad time zones as well,

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>really exciting and.

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Then really into time zones.

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, I always think ahead to how much is this

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.640
<v Speaker 1>going to absolutely destroying my sleep cycle?

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:23.479
<v Speaker 2>So you're just mentally preparing for that.

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Now, I need to get the hours in now. But

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 1>then we've got the last kind of big, major international

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.040
<v Speaker 1>sporting event is going to be late July early August

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 1>in Scotland.

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.919
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that will be the Commonwealth Games. Yeah, once again,

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 2>such a great unifying moment for the whole country to

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 2>get around all of our audi athletes. Yeah, that will

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:41.919
<v Speaker 2>be absolutely brilliant.

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>It'll be interesting to see the appetite from us all

0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 1>to really jump into this tournament. The tournament has struggled

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.839
<v Speaker 1>in the last couple of rounds with its popularity and

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:57.040
<v Speaker 1>its validity as a competition. Nonetheless, it's created some incredible moments.

0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Glasgow will put on a big show and wow, when

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>you take us through everything that's going to happen in sport.

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 2>This year, it's a big year, huge moments.

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>And then alongside that, let's go to a more traditional

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of news round of politics. I guess we can

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of look locally and overseas. Why don't we start

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>quickly with local politics. The news headlines still kind of

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 1>have a flavor of talking about some major policy implications

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 1>from December's mass shooting in Bondai. At both the state

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 1>and federal level. What do you kind of see is

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the big moments in federal politics for the year to come.

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it will be interesting to see what happens with

0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 2>gun laws in Australia. I think that will be a

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.360
<v Speaker 2>huge moment. But then also looking at how the government

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 2>is supporting the Jewish community after that terror attack, and

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:47.720
<v Speaker 2>then outside of that, you know, this isn't an election year,

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 2>so I guess based on that it shouldn't be a

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.839
<v Speaker 2>huge politics year for Australia. I will say that one

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 2>thing that I think will come up is Susan Lee,

0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 2>who is the opposition leader. She is the leader of

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.719
<v Speaker 2>the Liberal Party. Last year, towards the end of last year,

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.120
<v Speaker 2>there was a lot of speculation about whether or not

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 2>she will remain the Liberal leader. A few of her

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.719
<v Speaker 2>colleagues seem very open about the fact that they want

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 2>her job, so I think that that conversation will continue

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.839
<v Speaker 2>this year because at the end of last year it

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.280
<v Speaker 2>didn't look like her job was safe. Yeah, I will

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:25.360
<v Speaker 2>say that it has kind of quietened down a little bit,

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:26.919
<v Speaker 2>but one to keep an eye on.

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 1>And I'm going to keep an eye on the tech

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 1>policy world this year. I think it's going to be

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:36.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we had the age verification and limiting under

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.279
<v Speaker 1>sixteens on social media come in late last year. There's

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 1>really increased chatter around the way in which our government

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.239
<v Speaker 1>engages with tech giants, especially in the era of AI

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:47.599
<v Speaker 1>as well, so I think that's going to be a

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 1>major focus of the government. I'm also interested in how

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.599
<v Speaker 1>they're going to look at environmental policy, which we haven't

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.839
<v Speaker 1>spent a lot of time as a nation talking about

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 1>over the last couple of years.

0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 2>No, well, the opposition started talking about it towards the

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 2>end of life last year as well, they announced their

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 2>environment policy. But yeah, you're absolutely right, that also will

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 2>be one to keep an eye on.

0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 1>And then Billy, looking overseas, I think probably the big

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 1>headline here is the US midterms.

0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so in the US we have the midterms this year,

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 2>so that means that it is exactly two years after

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 2>the presidential election where Donald Trump was elected president for

0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 2>a second time. So if you're not fully across this,

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 2>the midterms happen across all states for offices other than

0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:36.400
<v Speaker 2>the president or the vice president, and it's to decide

0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 2>the makeup of the US's two bodies of government. So

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.680
<v Speaker 2>we have the Senate and the House of Representatives, and

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 2>that's where laws get made in the US. At the moment,

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.239
<v Speaker 2>the Republican Party, which is the party that US President

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump is from, they have a majority in both

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:57.440
<v Speaker 2>the House of Representatives and the Senate. And I would

0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 2>say that the midterms are always seen as this halfway

0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 2>point to reflect on how the country is seeing or

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.720
<v Speaker 2>assessing the person that they elected and the party that

0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 2>they're from.

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.320
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of a performance review at the pole.

0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.320
<v Speaker 2>That is what I was looking for. That is exactly

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 2>the perfect way to describe it. So, yeah, it will

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.320
<v Speaker 2>be interesting to see if the country sways more to

0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.880
<v Speaker 2>the Republican Party, who already have a lot of power

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 2>at the moment, or back towards the Democrats.

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Really interesting to watch. That one that's right at the

0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 1>end of the year, that's in November. One politics adjacent

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.320
<v Speaker 1>story I thought would be worth mentioning. You mentioned it

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:37.040
<v Speaker 1>before the census, so that's not kind of directly run

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.119
<v Speaker 1>by our politicians, but it's it's a big moment.

0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Big moment. It's a big night for the data nerds,

0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 2>big big night. So every five years, if you're not

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 2>familiar with the census, every five years, the ABS counts

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 2>every single person and household in Australia in this scene

0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 2>that is called the census, and it's basically like this

0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:00.720
<v Speaker 2>huge survey for the entire population. But it's different to

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:04.680
<v Speaker 2>other surveys because usually surveys are only sample ye. But

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.440
<v Speaker 2>what's great about this is that it's literally the entire

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 2>population and they ask you everything from your age, to

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 2>your religion, to what you do for your job. They

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.200
<v Speaker 2>ask about your income and it's just a fascinating snapshot

0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:17.439
<v Speaker 2>of the country.

0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.959
<v Speaker 1>And every year, there's always every time the census is

0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.080
<v Speaker 1>rolled out, there's always some new questions and they make

0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 1>some adjustments.

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and this year will be the first time that

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:30.840
<v Speaker 2>they ask questions on sexual orientation and gender for individuals

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:34.320
<v Speaker 2>aged sixteen years and over, and so that will be

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 2>on the eleventh of August, market in your calendar.

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 1>And Billy, let's bring it home with your I think

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.600
<v Speaker 1>your guilty pleasure. But also you would say, then it's

0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:45.880
<v Speaker 1>not a guilty pleasure, it's just a pleasure pleasure. Let's

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:47.079
<v Speaker 1>go to pop culture.

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 2>I would say politics is my pleasure and pop culture

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 2>is my guilty. People.

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, let's end with the guilty pleasure pop culture. What

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:55.880
<v Speaker 1>are the big pop culture headlines to be looking for

0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:56.280
<v Speaker 1>this year?

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay? So, as I mentioned in the intro, we have

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Blake Lively and Baldoni's lawsuit. Now you might be thinking,

0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 2>wasn't that thrown out? That's what you were thinking that

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:11.240
<v Speaker 2>The answer is no, So only Baldoni's counter lawsuit was

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 2>thrown at. Right, So Baldoni just as a refresher, he

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 2>accused Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds or trying to

0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:23.440
<v Speaker 2>destroy his reputation by accusing him of sexual harassment. That

0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 2>was a four hundred million dollar lawsuit and that was

0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 2>dismissed by a judge in June last year. However, the

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 2>initial lawsuit, which was brought forward by Blake Lively at

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.679
<v Speaker 2>the end of twenty twenty four, where she accused Baldoni

0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.960
<v Speaker 2>of harassment on the set of the film It ends

0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 2>with us. That is still proceeding and that will happen

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 2>in March this.

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Year, okay, and that'll be a massive Hollywood court case.

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.080
<v Speaker 1>But on the other side of Hollywood, we have some

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 1>new releases coming out.

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.719
<v Speaker 2>I thought i'd go quickly through some of the new

0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:56.640
<v Speaker 2>movies that are coming up. So we have Devil Webs

0:10:56.679 --> 0:11:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Prada two number two. We have Toy Story Far. We

0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 2>have Buthering Heights that features Margot Robbie and Jacob Alordi.

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I've already been seeing that around quite

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 2>a bit. They've already started the promotion for that one.

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 2>We also have Moana the movie, which is a live

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 2>action remake of the animated film. We have another Spider

0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Man movie. Essentially, it's just a lot of classics continuing

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.240
<v Speaker 2>their franchise, which is domination of Hollywood.

0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, which is interesting. I think in the uncertainty of

0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood at the moment, with the presence of streaming players

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.800
<v Speaker 1>becoming more powerful, how expensive is to make movies, I

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:30.760
<v Speaker 1>think there's a lot of safe bets being placed on

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 1>franchises that have worked in the past by studios and yeah,

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 1>it looks like that's going to continue. Why don't we

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 1>take a quick look at music.

0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, some new albums that you can expect this year,

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.840
<v Speaker 2>we have Charlie XCX coming out with a new album,

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Lana del Rey, Louis Tomlinson from one direction we'll be

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 2>making a return. We have Charlie Pooth and we also

0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.720
<v Speaker 2>have Asap Rocky. And then in terms of Ossie artists

0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.680
<v Speaker 2>who have announced that they are releasing albums this year,

0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:58.920
<v Speaker 2>we have the Kid l Roy coming out with a

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:03.120
<v Speaker 2>new album and also Kelly Holiday, who saying dancing to

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:04.679
<v Speaker 2>remember that one.

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 1>One of the biggest songs from twenty twenty five. Here

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:07.680
<v Speaker 1>in hoping that.

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 2>You could sing it for us in case anyone doesn't

0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:09.800
<v Speaker 2>know what.

0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm just going to do the hit movements.

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, thank god this is an audio platform. He

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 2>will also be releasing an album this year. And then

0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 2>my final note on pop culture and I'm glad that

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 2>you set this up as a guilty pleasure set.

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Just can't help it.

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.320
<v Speaker 2>I just can't help myself. This is entirely based on

0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.000
<v Speaker 2>gossip and rumors and there's absolutely no evidence that this

0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 2>will happen this year, but I have to mention that

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 2>it likely could be the year that Taylor Swift and

0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Travis Kelcey get married. Your English teacher and your gym teacher,

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:42.120
<v Speaker 2>as she said, And.

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Are we going to have to talk about your leave

0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.680
<v Speaker 1>for that? Yeah, like how much you.

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Actually get an invitation? And that's why I'm bringing it up.

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't even think it's about you being physically there.

0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I just think that you're going to need some time

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.120
<v Speaker 1>to sit in the room and look at the computer

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:56.400
<v Speaker 1>just on waiting content.

0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 2>I try to keep my love for Taylor Swift a

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.960
<v Speaker 2>little bit closeted, and you're really exposing me right.

0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, you do a terrible job. And thank you so

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>much for running us through all of that, Billy. We

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.160
<v Speaker 1>know you're going to be here all the way, taking

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.199
<v Speaker 1>us through the events that we can predict, but also

0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 1>the stuff we can't. And that's what is the magic

0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:18.560
<v Speaker 1>of news, and sometimes the tragedy, but often the beauty

0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.720
<v Speaker 1>of it is the biggest stories of the year we

0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know about yet. So we feel very safe in

0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:26.680
<v Speaker 1>your hands leading our newsroom and let's do twenty twenty six.

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I'll be here with you sitting in this chair breaking

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:29.600
