Kevin and Spencer talk Pluribus, then detour off to rant about technical nuances of television production and why you can't see or hear anything in TV shows anymore. Spencer discovers he can zoom on Zoom, much to our delight. Somehow we end up on thoughts on self-esteem versus collective purpose, the importance of doing something even when you can't do everything, and why baking cookies for your neighbors counts as praxis.

Comedian Eli Yudin joins the show for what starts as a chat about animation and art school but quickly spirals into deep discussion on why everything is broken. We cover the important stuff: why old Newgrounds animations slapped, whether musical comedy is real comedy, the insane labor practices destroying creative industries, why growth-obsessed capitalism is a death cult, and most crucially, the correct Elden Ring build.

Eli shares stories about his comedy special "Humble Offering," explains why he now reads weird little tales instead of doing traditional standup, and reveals his shameful addiction to Escape from Tarkov despite the game being held together with duct tape and broken quests. There's also a detour into how National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation proves that workers have lost all their power, a passionate defense of Tom and Jerry's artistic merit, and Spencer admitting he beat Dark Souls III by just punching everything to death.

We look back at our predictions we made at the start of last year, along with current events... in horror. Spencer's distraught at the rise of fascism and the failure of our government in its most fundamental values. Kevin lists of all the ways we've squandered a few centuries of good will and soft power. Is the first domino about to fall, or are we about to reboot as America 2.0? Spencer tries to look back at his 2025 tarot readings and do a new one for 2026. Are we headed towards more petulance and opposition, or is the answer some creative teamwork?

Spencer and Kevin reflect on 2025's cascade of failures while attempting to maintain the festive spirit through sheer force of will and a few more questionable beverage choices to round out the year.

Spencer's comes up with a plan to relaunch the Sizzler chain of restaurants as Steakler that might have more merit than you think, before he stumbles on the realization that thoughts are just "some guy being like, look at this!" which is probably the most accurate description of Buddhist philosophy you'll hear today. AI VTubers are probably good, but Pluribus hive mind collectives are probably bad? Help us get to the bottom of this, and help us help you.
