John & Ethan discuss their prosperous and joyous holiday celebrations and the good times ahead in 2018. Then it’s onto the news, and- in a shocking new twist- “Sloppy” Steve Bannon has betrayed the cause of Trumpism and joined up with the cultural Marxists, and now is being publicly character assassinated by the President.  (It’s just like when Hitler had Ernst Röhm shot for being gay!) And, to ring in the new year, we get a call from our favorite Mean and Sober cuck, Chuck the Cuck!  He’s got a lot to say about Rod Rosenstein and Christopher Wray meeting with Paul Ryan in secret… could this be another conspiracy? Who can say! Then, for our international listeners, we discuss French President Macron’s radical fascist centrism, which John loves and Ethan, as a radical centrist, feels a bit queasy about.  Then it’s back to the US as we discuss George Papadopolous’s drunken boasts to Australian officials, why God hates Democrats, Jeff Sessions' bong-cleaning tips, and Dave Chappelle’s take on Trumpism. Then: Cuck of the Week, with a very special winner from the nation of India (although Ethan is lobbying hard for Sloppy Steve to win this week)! And John’s got a special “Eminent Domain” edition of Conspiracy Friday!  Finally, Ethan has some New Year’s resolutions and John calls him a cuck.  Listen now! Happy New Year!  You can join the movement at patreon.com/meanandsober
