Cruising Into the New Year With 2025 Predictions and Kissing the Ring

59 minutes

Happy New Year, and welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk!

Welp, the US Surgeon General really put a damper on anyone not participating in dry January by saying alcoholic beverages should come with health warnings about increased cause of cancer. Will it stop us? (Nah.)

At the start of the new year, we like to revisit our predictions from 2024 and... sorry for the bummer, but we didn't get a single prediction right. Our guest hosts from last year's finale did though!

But you know we're also coming in hot with our 2025 predictions, so come along with us to hear our (probably wrong) takes!

Hint hint: we have some Trump-related predictions (sorry we have to do this again y'all): he won't be able to stop Putin's war in Ukraine, TikTok will NOT be banned, the big Elon/Trump breakup we're all anticipating will not happen in 2025, and the petty President will fly the US flag at full mast during his inauguration because his special little feelings matter more than honoring former President Jimmy Carter.

Don't worry, we have non-Trump predictions too: bitcoin will double its value again in 2025, Chappell Roan will win big at the Grammys, and of course, Andrew's yearly death prediction.

Need a little motivation to start the year our right? We share our goals to start the year, and because we are so demure, we're not biting off more than we can chew.

You know where to look for the best recommendations! Refresh and GREEN your space (Andrew), upgrade to a smart electric kettle (Pam), and the game 'Cult of Lamb' (Laura).

And in this week's installment of After Dark:

What's in and what's out for us in 2025? In addition to giving some good ideas for your own ins and outs lists, prepare to learn some new vocabulary!

What's in: disassociating from the news, fart walks, habit tracking, and movie musicals to name a few.

What's out? Hope scrolling (sorry), energy vampires (???), and describing something as a 'vibe.'
