We kick off 2026 exactly how we left it: confused, concerned, and asking all the wrong questions. The Buds can’t stop thinking about a man killed in a deeply upsetting industrial bread-making accident, Kyle spirals over it more than anyone should, we break down the new and increasingly unhinged tactics Olympians are using to chase gold, and we meet a woman whose dream of becoming a mermaid ends with her naked, fighting police, and very much on land.
