Final episode of 2025, and it’s a wild one. The hosts look back on a year that started on Inauguration Day and spiraled into assassinations, fascists with social media, male loneliness discourse, purity culture, and the weirdest podcast arguments they’ve ever had. They talk about launching the show on inauguration day, surviving 76 episodes, and plotting how “The Line” could actually grow into a legit Daily Wire–level competitor in 2026 without becoming the thing they hate.
Politics and culture collide hard here: Donald Trump’s obsession with staying in the headlines, the ACA and SNAP being on the chopping block, egg prices, CEO greed, and the White House website as “dog shit propaganda” all get dragged.
The Charlie Kirk assassination comes up multiple times: how they knew from the footage he was “100% dead,” how social media amplified it within minutes, and how surreal it was that it happened on Jimmy’s relationship anniversary. There’s also a darkly funny but serious dive into grooming, Epstein, and predatory adults. One former caller gets fully written off after defending “consensual” sex between adults and minors, which launches a whole riff on why “you’re so wise beyond your years” is actually a grooming line and not a compliment. Mormon bishop confession stories, “pray the pedo away,” and the way patriarchy shields abusers all feed into that conversation.
On the more personal side, the hosts unpack their own growth arcs: Alyssa’s shift on the “male loneliness epidemic,” from “I’m tired of helping men” to “we need a goal‑oriented strategy that actually works.” They connect patriarchy, toxic masculinity, and purity culture, and how centering men’s self‑interest might be the only realistic way to dismantle a system that hurts everyone. They also share relationship highs: engagements, an unexpectedly emotional engagement party where both families finally meet, and the weirdness of planning a life, a move to LA, and a YouTube strategy in the middle of fascism, shootings, and family health crises
