Starting point is 00:02:16 Did You See These Eight Guys? Yeah! Ha ha. This is our special 2019 predictions Yeah, we're in 2019, so we should start predicting the future For this year, the future of this year And my name is Jack O'Brien And I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host
Starting point is 00:02:38 Jack O'Brien Miles Gray Oh, Miles Gray, yes, thank you so much for having me Thank you And we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by one of the faces on Mount Zeitmore. She is Lacey Mosley. Hey, what's up, y'all? Happy 2019. What were you saying? We kind of had this idea for the show with you, and we feel like you were going to have some wild prognostications, that will also be correct.
Starting point is 00:03:06 Right, yeah. So tell people what this episode is about. So we're just making wild predictions about 2019, what we think is going to happen this year, based on the two days that have happened so far. Yeah. Yeah, so, you know. I think that's enough to give us an idea. Yeah, I think we get it.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Okay, 2019, we get it. Okay, 2019, we get it. We're going to be joined by super producer Nick Stumpf and Supes Produce, Ana Hosnia, also, because they have some predictions for the year ahead of us. But guys, let's get right into it. Miles, what is one of your predictions for 2019 get ready this is a political one uh-oh trump will call nancy pelosi a bitch or see you next thursday oh shit like there will be a thing about him saying that shit out loud in front of people and it's gonna be like trump calls pelosi on the unthinkable in unhinged tirade in Oval Office. Because we already saw when he got Jedi mind-tricked by Nancy and Chuck in the Oval Office at the end of last year, what they can expect this year with the Democrats in power. So I feel like, yes, that will be something we're going to see. There's going to be, I mean, I think numerous showdowns with Nancy Pelosi.
Starting point is 00:04:23 But based on his relationship with women, I feel like this is almost a no brainer. I'm going to see your Trump prediction and raise you this. Trump will not be president by the end of 2019. Oh, shit. He will be Lord Emperor who ruleth by divine right. What a twist. Shit. He will be Lord Emperor who ruleth by divine rights. Oh, great. Hey, what a twist. Or he'll be in prison.
Starting point is 00:04:50 You know, one of the two. He won't be president because... Now you feel like that's because we're finally getting there? That it'll be too much? I don't know. I'm kind of talking out of my ass. Well, come on. You know, we got to double down on this.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Right, right. Because I have some that will probably have the Secret Service knocking on my door. Okay. Yeah. I mean, I do think that he's becoming more and more unhinged. Yep. We now know that part of his being unhinged is Adderall-fueled, and he's been doing it for like 20 years now. So I think he's probably – that's not sustainable.
Starting point is 00:05:23 No? His lack of sleep and snorting of Adderall is problematic for one's sanity. Yeah. So all the stuff where we're like, man, this guy's really losing it is starting to, I don't know, come together. And then also the pressure of, you know, just listen to the people around him. The people around him are like, he's not built for this. Even Nixon was completely guarded by an armada of lawyers and Trump is underlawyered. He does not have good representation as the president of the United States. I think one of them actually might be, what's his name?
Starting point is 00:06:03 Larry H. Parker. Who is that? Larry H. Parker got me 2.1 million. That like injury guy and he would like have like the little throne. He's like, I'm Larry Parker and I'll fight for you. Trump assembles like all the TV lawyers. He's got Jacobian Myers, Larry Parker. Jacob and Ronnie.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Yes. If you're in LA. Salino and Barnes. Like this is his super team defending him. He just calls everyone on television. I'm predicting this is I guess it's kind of political. It's about Trump. But like I'm predicting more senior moments from Trump.
Starting point is 00:06:36 I think his brain is really just going left. And I'm predicting more moments where he doesn't remember Melania is behind him. And maybe he pees on himself this year you know what i mean you want to put that one in yeah they try to blame it on the rain yeah but you know it's pit like a full-on senior moment right they're like oh it just rained on your dick yeah right uh i mean you know not to shame people with incontinence but these are just predictions you know uh you know also i think along sort of what you're thinking jack i think Uh, you know, also I think along sort of what you're thinking, Jack, I think he'll have some kind of medical issue that he may use to rationalize or justify resigning.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Oh, yeah. So he could have like a hero's out. He's like, nah, man, you know, the doctor said like, I'm not built for this right now. So I'm gonna have to, I'm gonna hand it over. Yeah. But he's so just focused on always being the strongest that I wonder, like, can he admit to himself that he's not invincible? I think he knows. He's like,
Starting point is 00:07:29 I'm going to say this to save my ass or something like that. I don't know. But then he might face an indictment either way. I don't know. Again, these are just wild takes. Yes. But I think I just feel like just mathematically with what we know about his
Starting point is 00:07:40 diet and things like at, at some point we will see that he is not in good health. I don't know, man. Evil people live a long time, though. I know, we were just talking about that. Ooh, they sustain. They really sustain. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:53 I got one evil-ass aunt who hit my grandmother over the head with a hammer, and she is still alive. She has to be in her 90s, going strong. We don't even talk to her. Hit your grandmother with a hammer? Yeah. Oh oh my goodness trump might live he might have those mccain years in him mccain's mom is still alive in 2019 yeah yeah she is she is that's my prediction she gonna live to 2020 mccain mama got another year left okay
Starting point is 00:08:21 there you go we do have a uh deaths section that we want to cover. Okay, tight, tight. I'll save it. But McCain's mom would not be the hottest of takes, I guess. No, I don't think she's going to die. I'm saying she's going to live through. Oh, okay. Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:36 I mean, what was the last president we had who died in office that wasn't like an assassination? Ooh. Was that like McKinley or some shit? The guy who ceded the office to Teddy Roosevelt, I think. That was like the late 1800s, early 1900s. So like,
Starting point is 00:08:55 but I do think... Well, FDR. Oh, right. What about Jimmy Carter? He kind of died, you know? Jimmy Carter is invincible. Warren Harding. know? Jimmy Carter, is it invincible? Warren Harding? He died in office. William Henry Harrison,
Starting point is 00:09:09 Zachary Taylor are the presidents who died in office. Oh, okay. And then assassinations are Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy. Kennedy? Oh, I didn't even realize. Yeah, sorry.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Sorry, Anthony. We have something. You're like, wait, what happened to him? Wait, what? He's not alive. We have some bad news, what happened to him? Wait, what? He's not alive. We have some bad news for you. Which Kennedy? Jamie?
Starting point is 00:09:29 Yeah, Kennedy from MTV, who's now on Fox. I read this study about how people who retire early end up dying earlier. And they were saying that we tend to think that the more stress you put yourself under, the earlier you die. But a lot of times, it's the more you work, the more engaged you are in the world around you. You have a reason to live. You have a reason to live. You just keep going, basically. And I feel like someone like Trump is just constantly, he eats conflict for breakfast. He eats shit for breakfast.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Yeah, he eats pieces of shit like us for breakfast. It's going to be hard to get that ticker to stop. Yeah, okay. So I don't know, man. Anna, what do you got for this year? I think potentially, wait, are we waiting on the deaths? No, we can start with the deaths. You want to just hop right into deaths?
Starting point is 00:10:23 I was thinking maybe Alex Jones might go from loneliness. Wow. Go from loneliness. Go like pass away just out of not being able to scream his shit.
Starting point is 00:10:32 I thought you were going to be like from loneliness to deadliness. No, but you mean like he might just die from a broken heart? Yeah, or just like
Starting point is 00:10:38 because no one's fucking with him and he doesn't have any like platforms. Well, him and Gavin McInnes looked like they were about to put out
Starting point is 00:10:43 a hot single. I think Gavin McInnes might also die in a riot of some sort because he is really fucking around out here. Yeah. So you think some death on the right wing. I think there is going to be some alt-right leaders who
Starting point is 00:10:57 see a very dark faith. They literally have no reason to live. Yeah. And then that would be really bad if they did because then I feel like you'd get these conspiracies and you'd get their followers rising up. Right. And maybe those conspiracies are true. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Wow. Don't make it hot for yourself, person who's predicting this. Maybe. Who else you got going under? I have Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter going? I think we could see Jimmy Carter. He died years ago.
Starting point is 00:11:25 I know you say that, but he's looking... He's probably the most... He looks delicate. That's how you know you're old. When people talk about you, you're like, they're not already dead? Right. Those are goals. I don't want to be that old. I'm going to throw Betty White in here, but not because I think
Starting point is 00:11:42 she's going to die. Not because I think she's going to die. Because I want to make her stronger. I need her to live in spite of this prediction. I'm going to go with Keith Richards because he just quit drinking. I feel like she has been
Starting point is 00:11:56 sustained by a delicate balance of cocaine and alcohol and equilibrium and young women. And now, it's going to throw the balance off. women and now it's gonna throw the balance off oh yeah well you know
Starting point is 00:12:06 it's gonna be he's gonna be living good for a little while just like when Dave Chappelle killed Rick James right
Starting point is 00:12:12 you know what I mean and there'll be that's what happened that's how he got in the Illuminati yeah so there'll be like you know
Starting point is 00:12:18 some lull and then eventually he'll start trying to party like he used to and that's what's gonna get him oh right yes
Starting point is 00:12:24 I think Cosby or Jared one of our sex offenders yeah Jared Fogle he'll start trying to party like he used to and that's what's going to get him. Oh, right. Yes. I think Cosby or Jared, one of our sex offenders. Yeah, Jared Fogle, one of our sex offenders who's in prison because they're not popular there. Yeah, well, I think Cosby might, I don't know, he's old, so I could see that.
Starting point is 00:12:37 I mean, Jared's been, he's been rocking a little. Yeah. Bill Cosby's petty, though. Petty people don't like to just die. You know what I mean? I see Bill trying to Write out his sentence
Starting point is 00:12:45 Like no I'm gonna get out He's like It'll be 280 Yeah yeah Yeah yeah No I'm gonna get out What are you trying to say Oh I can't live to 280
Starting point is 00:12:54 Okay Just crosses his arms And his self He like makes an appeal I don't know He's just got a lot of money And a lot of time in there I don't know
Starting point is 00:13:02 I don't know if it's over For old Billy Alright I was wrong I guess He's not gonna lot of money and a lot of time in there. I don't know. I don't know if it's over for old Billy. All right. I was wrong, I guess. He's not going to die. How about Papa John? Wow. Papa John?
Starting point is 00:13:11 The company has died. Yeah, that's sweet-ass Pete. John Schnatter? He always looks like he's just taking very bad care of himself, that he subsists off a diet of bourbon and cocaine, and I have heard that that's true from people who know him. So I'm going to double down, say the opposite. John Schnatter will emerge from the ashes like a phoenix.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Right. And reclaim his throne as Papa. Oh, really? I have. Well, yeah. Yeah, fuck it. That's what I'm gonna say okay i have a feeling he's gonna do a really really extreme job of trying to rehabilitate his image to try and come back but it's gonna fail
Starting point is 00:13:54 but i feel like websites i don't know because i think he's i don't know i mean again these are just takes that'll completely fell apart but i i could also see him really trying to like he's gonna do like that like uh have that moment on new year's and be like you know what dude i'm completely fell apart, but I could also see him really trying to, like, he's going to do like that, like, have that moment on New Year's and be like, you know what, dude, I'm going to fucking get it together, man. Right. I'm fucking getting it back, dude. And those.
Starting point is 00:14:13 This is the year of John. Yeah. Papa. Papa's back. Papa's home. Papa's got a brand new back. Fuck. I got to work on that, but marketing wasn't my thing.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Well. And as we all know, those cocaine-fueled New Year's resolutions always turn out well. Oh, yeah. So he's probably got this. Johnny Depp also not looking great. Wow. Let's keep an eye on him. Let's keep an eye on him.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Is Ben out of Code Red? Is he out of Code Blue? Do we think Benny Affleck's gonna be okay? I think he's gonna be fine. Yeah. He'll cut to this aging so? I think he's going to be fine. Yeah. He'll... Cut to this aging so terribly and he's like, oh god, he had
Starting point is 00:14:49 died in a tragic bungee jumping accident. I feel like Ben Affleck has people around him. He does. He has enough people to shuttle him back and forth from rehab. He'll be totally fine. And take him to Jack in the Box for fuck's sake. Johnny does. That profile of him in his weird mansion.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Oh, shit. You know that time you die when you're by yourself. That's exactly how you die, when you don't have people just hanging around to check your pulse every few hours. Right. He's around people who are paid to be around him, like his bodyguards and his staff,
Starting point is 00:15:21 like management and shit like that. So they'll kick him every now and then, make sure he's still, you know. those people you know when they don't have love as their primary motivation it's just not a it's not a healthy place to be i feel like they got checks though i mean if you're if your boss stopped breathing that's the check you know like you gotta keep the bag alive so my prediction is he becomes a cat lady. He just starts getting in so many cats. And then all of a sudden he becomes like a cat guy who's like saving all these cats and he can't stop. And they're like, yeah, he made a cat sanctuary in his backyard.
Starting point is 00:15:53 And then he's just covered in cats. I also think there's, and it might not be this year, but I think Drake might end up being problematic in some way. What? Oh, like because he's been tweeting all those kids? Mm-hmm. Yeah, he has been talking to a lot of kids. I'm like, come on now, Drake. You see what happened to R. Kelly now.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Don't let the basement come out. Right. I don't know. Now, but listen, when you go to Drake's house, though, they do make sure you're over 21. I will say that. Oh, do they? Or over 18 at least, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:21 You've been there? Yeah. To where? Like when you go to Drake's house in Calabasas for like a party or something. I don't go anymore. They're very ratchet. I don't go anymore. Wow.
Starting point is 00:16:30 But you go to this parking lot of like a Toys R Us or whatever. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, damn. That was a good one. Is that true? Yes, but it's just. What?
Starting point is 00:16:41 Wow. No, that's not why though. That's not why. No, it was a baby's RS yeah it just happened to be the parking lot that this happened
Starting point is 00:16:49 ooh so they pick you up from a parking lot of a toy's RS yeah they pick you up well I think that's the processing center basically for people
Starting point is 00:16:56 who enter oh shit this is actually where I got picked up though so that Atlanta episode is like based on a real oh that Atlanta episode is so accurate
Starting point is 00:17:04 because and I was watching and I was like oh god, someone who went to Drake's house is in this writer's room and knows this so specific. Because you go to this abandoned parking lot. Or this time it was a Toys R Us. It just was. Abandoned parking lot now because Toys R Us went out of business. Yeah, but at the time they weren't out of business. You get processed, basically.
Starting point is 00:17:23 So you fill out this N nda and this paperwork you show your id they make sure you're over 18 well i guess nda is what happens in the house yeah yeah yeah so then you get like so you don't just get on the bus so you could have heard about the party but you don't just get to get on one of the shuttles to go to hidden hills like there's these like kind of asshole promoters who like look at you and if you're like, it's all women. They look at you and they're like,
Starting point is 00:17:47 okay, we're not beautiful enough. You can't come. And they're like, me. The promoters are women? No, they're guys. They're guys who are looking at women.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Got it. And they're so mean. They're like, you're ugly. You can't come. You can come, not your friend. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:18:02 But he does try to make sure that they're adults. But those parties get ratchet because they usually end up with like a lot of bitches fighting and stuff because there's no men there you know everyone's trying to get up to see Drake
Starting point is 00:18:11 if he's even there it's like weird but I hope that Drake can hold it together because he really took a hit with that whole hidden son thing and we already knew about his son
Starting point is 00:18:21 like before the Pusha T beef we fully knew he had a son we had seen the Instagram like but he we fully knew he had a son. We had seen the Instagram. But he really took a creepy hit with Millie Bobby Brown. Is that how you know? Yes. So, I just hope that he stays away from the little cheerings. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Well, that's the prediction. I think Kevin Hart's gonna get caught cheating on his wife again. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. But she gonna stay. So, it's not gonna be a lot of news i predict that uh cardi b will get back with offset absolutely for sure that's i think that's they have hood love yeah they definitely love each other that's hood love yeah like hood love is like your man is gonna cheat on you well up until you're like late 50s thank you you know what i mean like when his
Starting point is 00:19:02 dick stops getting hard then he will be faithful to you. Then he'll find God. Right. Then he'll find God and start wearing you know Steve Harvey suits and you know smoking cigars
Starting point is 00:19:12 and talking to these young bucks. But they're fully going to keep doing this. Like he's going to buy her a wrapped car you know with diamonds on it and shit
Starting point is 00:19:21 and she's going to take him back. She'll get on Instagram and be like look I'm bad with him don't give me no shit. my baby father and that's fine uh all right we're gonna take a quick break and we'll be back with uh some companies that might die in 2019 i've been thinking about you i want you back in my life. It's too late for that.
Starting point is 00:19:48 I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this?
Starting point is 00:20:19 We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

Starting point is 00:22:30 or wherever you get your podcasts. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of
Starting point is 00:22:58 that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.
Starting point is 00:23:21 This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And yeah, I was just looking at a list of eight companies that might disappear this year.
Starting point is 00:23:45 And a lot of these make sense. GoPro is the first one. GoPro was like this big IPO and everyone was like, this is the future of content. And they have been struggling. A container store is not doing well, apparently. Yeah, that might go away. Remington. this brings me to Remington
Starting point is 00:24:07 declared bankruptcy. The firearms? Yeah, the firearms company. I think the NRA is going to have a lot of heat in 2019. It's already bleeding out, but I think NRA is going to get exposed. Did you see David Hogg tweeted at Daniel Osh
Starting point is 00:24:24 thoughts and prayers with this thing? Because of the Maria Butina? That's my brand of petty. Shout out to him. Shout out to him. Thoughts and prayers, Daniel. I think the Fitbit might have been murdered by the latest iteration of the Apple Watch. Oh, really? Yeah. I can't even find the charger
Starting point is 00:24:41 to my Fitbit. It's over. It's quiet for them. Do you know your iPhone now will count your steps? You can have just an app that's like, hey, girl, we know you never lose your iPhone. I walk around with this shit all damn day. I think Fitbit is going the way of those GPS, like individual GPS things. Garmin. Remember you used to hook that shit up in your car? It's just things that got eaten by iPhones.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Damn. iPhone is really just out here consuming shit. It's doing everything. Yeah. Yeah. Have you guys ever heard of Winn-Dixie, the grocery store? Yes, I'm from Texas. I know about Winn-Dixie.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Yeah, so Winn-Dixie, Bilo, Harvey's, and Fresco y Mas are all owned by the same company, Southeastern Grocers. And they're going down. They said they're probably going down because it's a business that totally relies on scale. And Kroger and Amazon both have it. And Southeastern Grocers doesn't. No, it's small. They're small-time grocers.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Yeah, you can't be a small-time grocer. Bad times to be a small-time grocer. And then Sears, which has been a long and slow death. Shout out to Sears. I was in Savannah at one of those Sears massive shutdowns. Woo, baby. Those were good. We're talking about 85, 90% off of fine jewelry, honey.
Starting point is 00:25:53 I got an $800 necklace for $127. Wow. What? Yes. I was buying all the gold. I said, excuse me. Put him down. Come on now, Bridget.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Put him down. Let me see all the rings and all the blings wow Sears I have never been in a Sears at least not that I can remember oh it's a very dirty place
Starting point is 00:26:13 I went in there and instantly felt poor I went in and I was like oh it's like a chill of poverty just all over my body
Starting point is 00:26:23 a chill of poverty like well because was the floor like concrete or like fucked up yeah it's like a chill of poverty just all over my body. Was the floor like concrete or like fucked up? Yeah, it was like unkempt, sticky. You know, everything was out of place. All the clothing looked like punishment for people who were going to wear it. Nothing looked like any type of fashion or even adjacent to it. It was just clothing in the most generic sense. It was like clothing that I feel like I've seen on TLC from like people,
Starting point is 00:26:49 you know, like who are hoarders or something, you know what I mean? Like, I don't even know if the shit was new. Or people who were just like leaving the Amish church. I don't know if it was new. I don't know if anything in the store was new.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Well, so that's, that's what America is about. We just pick at the corpses of once great companies or organizations. I feel so bad though for, for Sears, though. No, look, you got your, you know, who knows where that gold came from? Also, you know where that gold came from? Don't tell me.
Starting point is 00:27:11 I don't know. I'm just saying. Might want to think about that, too. Listen, I'm sure it came from a bad place because Sears doesn't seem like they're sourcing their gold from, right. So what do you want me to do? I'm not blinking at it. I'm just looking this up.
Starting point is 00:27:22 90% of Sears gold comes from the melted down teeth of people, dead bodies. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a little teeth in it. I saw some enamel, but listen, with a discount like that. I was like, this necklace is scratching my neck. I was a jagged incisor that was melted. Yeah, but with a discount like that, how could you say no? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:27:44 Okay. Yeah, but they're going down for sure. It's over. It's curtains. All right. Super producer Nick Stumpf had kind of a big, broad, sweeping one that I really like that I wanted to have him come in and talk about. Nick, are you there?
Starting point is 00:27:58 I am. Hey, Nick. How's everybody doing? First of all, how are you guys doing? Wow. Somebody comes to life suddenly. Thank you so much for asking. He was laying on his back before he got on the mic.
Starting point is 00:28:08 His feet were in the air. All right. Yes, how art thou? Great. Okay, well, I'll let you talk. Happy New Year. Happy New Year. Hey, thank you.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Happy New Year. And you as well. 2019, can you believe it? I can't, but it's hard. Okay, my stay. I made it all go down. So, Nick. Yeah.? Camp, it's hard. Okay, my stay, I made it to the goal. So, Nick, what is your prediction
Starting point is 00:28:28 for the year 2019? So, yeah, as you said, this is sort of broad and sweeping and indefensible in a lot of ways. As indefensible as predicting people's deaths?
Starting point is 00:28:39 Yeah, yeah. Differently indefensible. I think in 2019, you're going to see a sort of cultural shift back in the direction of there needing to be something that could be described as adults in the room. The return of the adult.
Starting point is 00:28:53 The return of the adult. Because I think we're like, we've been in the age of any asshole for a long time where it's like anybody can do anything, you know. Anybody can like, you know, have a podcast and pretend to know what they're talking about. Hey, hey, hey, hey. hey hey hey hey am i being fine um no but you know what i mean and i think donald trump is maybe the presidency of donald trump is perhaps the culmination of that lord of the flies world that we've constructed for ourselves in the last little while and then the wheels are so fully off at this point that i think
Starting point is 00:29:25 you're gonna see people craving a returning of the wheels uh-huh so that you know i just think like both in let's say art and media culture you're gonna see sort of like don't bother me unless you're really good at it kind of come back okay and then what would that look like that look like? Well, I just think, like, there's just so much content, you know, there's so much content all over the place that I think people
Starting point is 00:29:50 are just going to... It's going to naturally just start having fat trimming. Right. Like, Logan Paul will no longer be the top trending entertainer on Google.
Starting point is 00:29:59 Yeah, you know, I think things like that. I mean, and you're starting to see rumblings of this already. Like, there's this documentary on Netflix, The American Meme, which is like, what are we doing?
Starting point is 00:30:08 Why are we all trying to be famous all the time? Do you really want to spend your life doing that? I just think there's going to be like a – and the fact that there's just the amounts of content, like podcasting is sort of approaching per capita. Netflix. Damn, so are you saying we're going to die in 2019? No, no.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Because you guys are good. I mean, that's in person. I'm biased. So quality is coming back. Yes, I think fat trimming is in order because there's just so much of everything. And so in media and entertainment culture, that will manifest itself. And they're just being less stuff. Like things will start to fall away.
Starting point is 00:30:43 And winners will emerge. So the bar will be lifted this year in a way. The bar, I think, will go back up, yes. I think the barriers of entry for everything have been lowered in a way that's cool because it democratizes things in a good way. But right now, it's sort of peak, everybody's doing everything, and I think it's going to wash out a little. So you're saying I need to get my scams in now
Starting point is 00:31:07 because it'll close the doors back up. Don't quit your day. Tight. Or you're going to do a better scam. You're right. I'm going to have to innovate. That's what good scammers do. And then in politics, I think you are going to –
Starting point is 00:31:18 whoever the next round of people getting elected are in 2020 is going to be somebody who's – maybe you'll see, for example, the return of education being something in the plus column for a presidential candidate, where for 20 years it's been like, oh, no, I run away from that. People will be like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:31:35 Actually, maybe we do want experts. Yeah, they're like, excuse me, sir, my son is dumb. I need a fucking... They need an education. Yeah. Anyway, that sort of thing. That's what I got
Starting point is 00:31:45 signing off that's interesting I that is a hopeful prediction right I would like to see gravity return
Starting point is 00:31:53 to the world and there be an up and down yeah and standards it's just gonna be us and Joe Rogan left right
Starting point is 00:32:01 I guess and the aliens will be so confused tight this is it yeah i mean it kind of depends on if we've gotten to the threshold of bullshit yet which i don't know as as a resident person of color i just feel like there's more nonsense i feel like we haven't reached the point where everything has become so exponentially ridiculous when it comes to a trump administration and how this country
Starting point is 00:32:25 bends to the NRA I don't think we've reached it I think there's more bullshit I don't think we've hit the line yet yeah in certain aspects for sure uh like the things that we would be shocked by four years ago we're like we don't even blink at now yeah and how do you take that back like does where where does that come back like where does that suddenly grow back where we're like, wait a second. This whole thing is fucked up. Usually it takes a war, a really bad war. So hopefully that's not what happens this time. But historically that's what has happened.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Ask Eddie Kendrick, man. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Yeah, I think I'm worried about the ability for us to come back from the whole low standards social media thing. Because I think a lot of social media is part of, you know, I think a lot of the world is designed to distract us from two facts. One, we're all going to die. No. We've been trying to avoid thinking about as a species for thousands of years.
Starting point is 00:33:30 We have religion and rituals and myths to do that for us. But then the other thing that I don't think we acknowledge as much is that we don't like to realize that we're one person out of 7 billion people on this earth. And that's only getting worse. And when you realize that it makes you feel less important. And I think that's a big part of the drive towards social media and like that whole, the idea that that's not true and trying to believe in a world where that's not true has replaced a lot of the community stuff that used to help us feel transcend like just being individual lonely humans in the past right um so do you believe that online communities have siphoned
Starting point is 00:34:14 away from like physical in-person communities yeah i think i think they have and i think the what they've replaced those physical in-person communities with has been not as effective. Or gratifying. I mean, people just report being lonelier now than they've ever been in the past. And I never used to believe that report just because I feel like access— Because your social life is so mean. I'm poppy. What's your hot time there?
Starting point is 00:34:41 No, I feel like— The Toys R Us parking lot waiting to get the car. That was a coincidence, Drake. I hope it was a coincidence. No, I feel like... In the Toys R Us parking lot waiting to get the car. That was a coincidence, Drake. I hope it was a coincidence. Oh, God. Please let it be a coincidence. Please, Drake, don't do this.
Starting point is 00:34:54 But I think that I always kind of was skeptical of those because I'm like, okay, it's so easy to do a survey now. Everyone's going to say they're lonely. The access that we have to people when it comes to surveys and getting information about their mental health, especially with the revolutionary way that we are addressing
Starting point is 00:35:07 mental health now i'm like yeah everybody's gonna say they're fucking more lonely now i was like i don't think that you know i mean like before we had social media people were just putting their thumbs up their butts like we had a lot of free time it's called thumbing yeah but now when you say something like communities being replaced that is interesting to me because when i was living in savannah and i really like i could have been fully tuned into social media but it just wasn't as gratifying because i wasn't near anybody like i was going to like community events and like being outside with strangers and talking to them yeah like and it was gratifying in this weird way that i had not experienced in a very long time. Human contact? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Guys, outside of these four walls, there are other people. Yeah. No, I mean, like, a lot of the big things that people used to do, like, I was reading some history of the early 20th century or mid-20th century, and they were talking about how, like,
Starting point is 00:36:01 there was this huge bowling boom where, like, everybody, that became what everybody did, like, after work, bowling boom where like everybody that became what everybody did like after work was just like go bowling together and like bowling lanes like exploded across america but like they don't like that was just like a weird trend and people like oh well it's over but we had these like the arcade used to be a thing where you would go out and it would get you outside well that's that's a prediction that I had is that there will either be an app or some kind of movement towards trying to get people to interact in real physical space. I agree.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Like, I think because we've been seeing, I mean, like more and more people are getting more and more isolated that I feel like at the very least, we'll start to see a break in another direction. Not that that trend won't continue, but people will begin to sort of grasp with that loneliness and be like okay how do we address this in a way that we can get people to sort of like interact again yeah I mean nobody has really fully embraced the augmented reality thing since the Pokemon Go like wave when everyone was, oh shit, Pokemon Go. But they were out by themselves.
Starting point is 00:37:08 Were people chasing Pokemon in groups? Right, but I feel like there's a version of augmented reality that could be using the geo-targeting and shit like that to just meet up with people or something like that. Well, the sad thing is I also have a prediction that there will be a huge boom in ASMR for the most mundane shit. Like not just getting your haircut
Starting point is 00:37:25 whatever it's like you're at someone's birthday party and like like trying people will also concurrently be replacing actual human experiences with like more sophisticated versions of altered reality or augmented whatever like in what way you know like podcasts where people think they're hanging out with you know uh like you know i just think they're hanging out with, you know, like, you know, I just think like there's just going to be I feel like just in the same way that we we found ways to like be satisfied by being alone, that those the ways to experience, you know, a solitary life, there will be like new, sophisticated ways to make that more palatable for people to write Right. Whatever that is.
Starting point is 00:38:05 I mean, like, that's a more general thing, but I feel like seeing how big ASMR is getting, like, that's very much a thing where you're recreating a sensation of interaction. Yeah. In some way. Now, some people might just like stuff that isn't necessarily verbal or whatever, but the feeling is that you're sharing space with another person. Well, people's loneliness definitely gives me excitement for the world of comedy, because comedy has always kind of been the thing that people, like, it makes you feel less lonely.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Like, watching a comedy TV show makes you feel as lonely than watching something dramatic or something romantic that may remind you that you don't got no bae. You know what I mean? Right. So that gives me a sincere amount of hope for us. This is a random prediction, but not that random speaking of comedy. Amanda Bynes is
Starting point is 00:38:51 going to pull a Winona. I think my girl's coming back. I think she's going to be on some little Netflix series or something cute like A Stranger Things. And we're going to get Amanda back. We're going to get our bae back. She offed them drugs. She said she quit. And she looks like she's getting her shit
Starting point is 00:39:08 together. Popping them mollies. So, I'm excited to see that. I also predict that Kanye's going to get in a physical fight. Probably with somebody like a valet. Now, he's supposed to... I mean, that wouldn't be surprising. He's also
Starting point is 00:39:24 supposed to drop an album this year, and I have no idea what to expect from that. Hot beats. Yeah. The beat's going to slap. Right. We'll see. I mean, if he takes time, right?
Starting point is 00:39:35 Because if he keeps creating in the state he's in, like the Kid C. Ghosts production was much better than Yay, and I think that's because he was spending time on it but when has he not produced fire beats though yay yeah he has some beats on it not that not that i would say are gonna make his like ultimate list of kanye productions no not that i'm gonna make his ultimate list because his list is already so stacked but that's but that's if you're an artist you have to do you have to do better than here's how? But here's how I gauge Kanye's music. Like, I follow a lot of dancers and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:40:07 And I follow popular dancers who have millions of followers, right? Whatever songs they're choreographing their dances to are the hottest beats out. Like, that's just always what it is. And when Ye came out, it was several Ye songs that they were doing. You know what I mean? And it's not just because he's a relevant person. Those beats were slapping. Were the songs good?
Starting point is 00:40:24 Nah. Yeah, the only beat that I was excited for was I Thought About Killing You. It was like there was a part where it turns into the second half of the song. I was like, okay, that could work. But other than that, I don't know. I just feel like he's not – I think it's a thing. He's so good that even him at 50% is still better than most other people. But I feel like that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:40:46 I don't think we're going to see 80% Kanye on Yandy or whatever the fuck it is. He off the meds. I fully expect for some kind of confrontation, but with a busser or someone real random. And we're all like, Kanye, why were you in contact with this person? But he's so love. He's like, I'm all about love. I'm all about love. No, but I think he's just going to be going off on somebody.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Like, he's so unstable right now. I think he'll get in a fight with one of those inflatable parking lot people with wild arms. That's my prediction. He will fight an inanimate object. Yes. I'm down for that. Kanye will fight an inanimate object. And not as a function of his mental illness that he will just get his frustration out on that thing because it's a passive opponent.
Starting point is 00:41:23 I don't even, first of all, I don't like to comment on mental illness because I's a passive opponent i don't even first of all i don't like to comment on mental illness because i think that we already mental illness shame enough um so i whenever i'm speaking about kanye it's about him as a lucid sober asshole like you know what i mean and i know that you know mental health and stuff is always a contributing factor to everything that you do in your life but there's some things that kanye's said and done that i'm like now they're like you might just be ignorant right I'm like don't blame that alright we're gonna take a quick break
Starting point is 00:41:50 and we'll be back with our final predictions for the coming year I've been thinking about you I want you back in my life it's too late for that I have a thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do.

Starting point is 00:42:26 You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything?

Starting point is 00:44:50 This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back.
Starting point is 00:45:57 And I guess we shouldn't really call these predictions since they're guarantees. I mean, all these things are definitely going to happen scientifically. If Vegas is taking action on these things, go right now and just fill up. Across the board. Empty your bank account because these are fucking
Starting point is 00:46:14 gold nougats that you can cash. Gold nougat. Gold nougat. Not gold. Actual gold. Gold nougat. Just nougat that's gold colored. I think Jaden Smith and Tyler the the creator, become couple goals. Oh, okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:30 You've heard of them kind of mentioning, like, that's my boyfriend, that's my boyfriend. I think they become hip hop couple goals. Okay. Like, I think it's going to be a whole thing. Like they'll be an actual romantic couple? I don't know. Or that they're just going to be like this bromance? Just bromance that's just like very lit and very fashionable and like kind of not of this world wow because jayden smith has this juice like he's got
Starting point is 00:46:50 the will juice he's got the will smith juice he's had it his whole life he has a vibration he has it so i feel like he can do whatever the fuck he wants and we're all gonna be like yes jayden sure like to hold your dreadlocks in your hand as an expressory. Right. Yeah, that's your bag. I believe it. I see the bag. So I see him and Tyler like, you know, fashion lines. A couple I see splitting up, Melania and Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:47:15 I think the investigations and things are going to get so unbearable that she's going to peace out. That she will have to pull the eject lever. Even though she's contractually forbidden from doing that? Yeah, she can't do that. I think she'll figure out a way.
Starting point is 00:47:33 I think like anything. I don't know. Melania seems like a stone cold woman. She does. She's weathered a colder winter than Donald Trump. She does, but she strikes me as someone who, A, wasn't built to act like this all the time. I think she's adapted, but I don't think deep down this is anything
Starting point is 00:47:50 she wants, she ever wanted. And I think she seems like someone who puts themselves first enough to be like, yo, I don't have fucking time for this anymore. Yeah, but I think that it might be some B613 shit, like she can't leave. It might lead to an accident.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Wow. Ever since I started watching Scandal, I've been woke to the government and they tricks. So I tell y'all that. We're going to see her wearing a coat that says
Starting point is 00:48:13 I can't leave. Right. I can't leave. Can you? Can you help me? Can you help me please dial this number? I need help Scandal collection.
Starting point is 00:48:22 Zara's just now making help jackets. Like are you in a relationship? Oh no, that could get dark. Melania, I don't see her being able to leave. I think she fully wants to, but I don't know if she's going to be able to. I think, yeah, just with hearing her comments towards the end of the year of just sort of
Starting point is 00:48:38 like, she's angry about the situation. She's not talking from a place of maniacal calm like I would expect somebody who's going to be able to fully endure. There's a lot of anger about the whole situation. She's not talking from a place of maniacal calm like I would expect somebody who's going to be able to fully endure. There's a lot of anger about the whole situation. I think anybody who's in the room with him more than 15 minutes is going to
Starting point is 00:48:54 hear some wild... Do you really think she listens? She seems like someone who tunes everything out. Have you ever seen her face? She does not know what's going on in the room. There's that one clip of her meeting Putin, and right after they shake hands, her eyes reset, and she gives this death stare.
Starting point is 00:49:11 It's wacky. I like your statement that she's weathered colder winters than Donald Trump. She's like, bitch, I'm not new to this. Come on now. I also think that this is not on the Donald Trump train, but I think Mariah Carey is going to find a new love oh yeah it's time
Starting point is 00:49:28 she got enough money it's time a good partner or some nah nah hell nah some bullshit the new Nick Cannon
Starting point is 00:49:35 yeah or not even the new Nick Cannon now she's gone for like older billionaires she sued that last one for wasting her time and she won oh oh oh
Starting point is 00:49:42 I know who's her and Mohammed bin Salman ha yes that's it I love it you and me against the world for wasting her time and she won. Oh, oh, oh. I know who's... Her and Mohammed bin Salman. Yes. That's it. I love it. You and me against the world, ma. That's actually pretty cute.
Starting point is 00:49:51 I'm not gonna lie. It might be a little cute. MBS and Mariah. Wow. That would be really interesting. 100% chance he can't handle her. Right.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Oh, for sure. He's like, I tried. I don't know. I murdered journalists but Mariah Carey is finally my match. I can't figure her out. It works out so well.
Starting point is 00:50:12 I think we're going to be disappointed by the Mueller report because we already know so much dirt that it's just going to confirm the shit that we already know. And that's going to be somehow disappointing because it's just kind of leaked out in drips and drabs. But shit's going to continue to come out. The media is going to keep going on this story. The House committees are going to keep going on these stories. And we won't be disappointed in the end
Starting point is 00:50:38 by the overall process. But we will be. The Mueller report has been too built up. And when it comes, there's going to be, Fox News gonna be like this it this is nothing they have nothing and then it's gonna do like it's just basically the steel dossier confirmed right which is really what we're seeing wild just like bit by bit but i guess it's really it's about whether what the reaction will be from congress and other politicians like will they finally separate? Will they begin to separate?
Starting point is 00:51:06 I think we'll see some people bail on Trump on the right because you can only lie to yourself so much. You can only act stupid so long until you start looking stupid. Right. But I think, isn't there safety in numbers, though? I feel like if there's going to be a bailout, it's going to be everybody dipping at once. Yeah, well, I mean, I think one version has been all the people who retired last year who didn't want to go through midterms, who bailed that way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:28 But I feel like there will be people who will be in office who may have to begin being like, I can't be near this. But again, I think that could be a product of things mounting. One thing I do think with Mueller, though, is I think we'll start to see a lot more exposure to what is happening with people in the Middle East and the influence they have with Trump, too, because that's a thing that was also in the Steele dossier of understanding, like, the relationship of Qatar and the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia and, like, how they were still having meetings and shit. So I think that we're like, well, the Russia thing will turn the page and we're like, and on to the next group of people who have them in a vice grip. Right. People will start listening to ethnically ambiguous in the new year. Exactly., and on to the next group of people who have them in a vice grip. People will start
Starting point is 00:52:05 listening to Ethnically Ambiguous in the new year. Exactly. Yeah. That's my prediction. They'll start hearing me out. Ethnically Ambiguous is the new Joe Rogan podcast. Oh, could you imagine? We all of a sudden just start being like, have you ever tried Middle Eastern DMT? You would be a monster. Elon Musk is like, what is this?
Starting point is 00:52:21 What is this, a blunt? That's just straight hashish, my man. Wait, what is this? What is this, a blunt? I'm like, no, that's just straight hashish, my man. Whoa. Wait, what is Elon doing in 2019? I hope he just moves to the moon. He's going to get in some kind of weird shit, I feel like. I feel like there's going to be a, one of the things I had on my thing was private space death.
Starting point is 00:52:39 Like some sort of private space trip disaster. Like he tries to take the Tesla to the moon. Fully does that work. In that car. They're like, yeah, just launch me there. They're like, it doesn't work like that. They're like, no, Elon, stop. Get out.
Starting point is 00:52:52 It's fine. Give me a space suit. Just give me a space suit. There are a couple movies that are coming out that I think are worth just prognosticating about. The Avengers series, Endgame, it's going to go down. I think people will see that movie. Oh, hell yeah. That's my big prediction.
Starting point is 00:53:10 I also think Lion King is going to be the year of the live-action Lion King. I think Toy Story 4 feels unnecessary. It's going to fall off. And it might not be as good. I don't think it'll bomb, but I don't think it'll do amazing. Tim Allen, I don't know, it's wild because Tim Allen's out here really getting it popping for all right in middle America.
Starting point is 00:53:29 So maybe they'll go see it. I will fully be pushing Small Children out of the way to that Lion King live action. Yeah, my prediction is that Lion King will put the smash on a lot of records. Smash. On a lot of box office records. It's going to be a whole event.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Because it's odd. It really is energizing multiple generations in a way that is not like Star Wars, where that was already sort of sci-fi niche kind of – not that it's niche, but like Lion King, you know, it touched everybody. Episode 9 comes out from Star Wars, and I think it won't do as well as episodes 7 and 8. I think it'll – Well, it's episodes seven and eight. I think it'll... Well, it's just gradually gone less and less, right?
Starting point is 00:54:07 Because that's why even Lucasfilm was like, okay, I think people are getting Star Wars fatigue. Yeah, and they weren't when he sold it, but they are now. Well, yeah, they were doing a lot. They were doing a lot. But I think episode nine will be good. Yeah, I think episode nine will be good, and it just won't do quite as well
Starting point is 00:54:25 as the other ones. Right. I think Toy Story 4 will be trash also because kids don't have toys. Like, they don't give a fuck. They're like,
Starting point is 00:54:32 toys? Like, so when does the iPad die? Where's my iPad? Right. So you're telling me my iPad comes to life when I leave the room?
Starting point is 00:54:38 Like, they're going to have to really like update it. They're like, that cowboy with the all weird like cloth body. I haven't seen a little baby with a toy car in I don't know how many years.
Starting point is 00:54:47 They're still around. Are they? That's from a parent. Babies, but then once you get to the age where like, so right now, I just don't let my kids have screens and that's kind of the general recommendation. So it's all toys, but once they're able to get to screens, it's just over, I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:55:04 Oh, but you just sound like a good dad, Jack. Like, I don't know if everybody's out here parenting their kids that well. No, man. I've seen people all the time who they just, they got their kid with their mouth agape, looking just slack-jawed at a screen. And you're like, this baby can't even talk. And you're just like. Baby's scrolling.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Yeah. I see a lot of like, you know, but I get also too, like if when you're busy, it's easy to just be like, yo vibe out on this thing. Cause I need a second. Right. Yeah. But I also see like, I've also seen parents like try and take an iPad and you can tell like some, an addict, an addiction loop has formed or something.
Starting point is 00:55:38 And they're like, like freaking out. You're like, Oh my goodness. If y'all's babies got Instagram, have y'all babies follow me on Instagram. I'm trying to build my base up. Well, that's the wave. You know, like having fan bases that are very young. So as they get older, you're like, I seeded this fan base. You got that demo.
