and I was like
I went to Becca I was like is he voguing
I was doing a lot of like
hands under my chin
rubbing my eyes at the same time
losing the gas
this is what it takes to get 7000
episodes out a year
if we gotta drag
our stinking asses across the finish line we'll do that miles we're thrilled to be joined by
supers producer anna hosnier and becca ramos welcome
so in this particular episode uh we're looking back at the year that wasn't uh
we're looking at media prediction basically the media gets to spend the last month and the first
days of the you know of the year writing predictions that they know nobody's going to
come back and look up they're usually pretty vague right sometimes they'll plant a flag in something um but for the most part
it's the the overall story they like to tell is like things are going to continue to get
pretty good right i've got to admit it's getting better that is the theme song for all of this
shit so yeah we're just going to look back at what the media told us was going to happen
in 2022 and uh we're also you know we're here to hold ourselves to account yeah um so we're
going to also we we do a predictions episode at the end of every year last year it was uh
ever mainard and visit dasani and i and we got everything 100% accurate.
So I guess there's not
too much to talk about.
Well, what were some of the,
I mean, some were pretty,
pretty good.
Ever was just,
ever at one point said,
Russia will invade Ukraine
and nobody will do shit
and you can't tell me
anything about it.
And I'm calling it now.
You heard me call it.
And it was, you know i i think
they had already started amassing forces there were some signs that that might happen but
the invasion actually didn't happen till the end of february of 2022 and in the lead-up all the
experts were saying nah it's not gonna happen they They're not that crazy. They won't do that shit. So, Ever was onto something.
Knew something was going on.
It was weird because the news was like,
it would be like, Ukraine, colon,
these motherfuckers are gonna invade!
And then the US was like, they ain't
gonna do shit.
I was like, wait, what? Because all the satellite
imagery around that time seemed to
indicate a military buildup.
But yeah, shouts to Ever for their never-ending wisdom.
Ever saw it.
Never knew.
The name of a sage, too, Ever.
Oh, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
That's actually the best branding.
My prediction was continuing on of bad things where everyone looks around and is like,
is nobody going to do something about this?
And that seemed to be accurate.
So 100% bullseye. You hear the sound of a arrow hitting a
bullseye right now inside your own head what were fizz's predictions that uh boomers would continue
to say racist shit so another that's true straight and straight to the heart okay also it was when
and just like that had just started coming out and so we kept
talking about and just like that so it was an interesting episode i think we maybe overestimated
the staying power of and just like that i think it had a powerful couple months when it first came
out i feel like it was in the zeitgeist for a lot and then you know now it's been gone but it's
coming back like i said so yeah they're filming it
the expert predictions that we went over uh in that episode were basically experts saying
it's endemic times uh the pandemic is going to essentially go away uh that everybody's going to
be vaccinated by this time next year so how could the pandemic keep coming and also we're going to be vaccinated by this time next year. So how could the pandemic keep coming?
And also we're going to see AI be used to solve the climate crisis.
And we're going to see an actual,
like a real dent being made in the climate crisis.
Like there was an article from northwestern.edu that was saying all this
shit.
And,
um,
those things didn't nah we got what
triple demic and the best ai could do was put breasts on hitler yes ai ai really turned up in
the yeah really saved the planet making those avatars cool i didn't see the hitler titties
no just like we were joking about on the other episode because
so many people like if if you fed it like photos and the ai deemed you to be like feminine it would
just hyper sexualize the right just crazy i will always think of caitlin dorante's titty pics from
their ai usage um yeah oh did dorante have some wild ai pics yes dorante posted on instagram
and it was crazy literally came out as a nine tit dracula it literally it looks like um freaking
anime uh let me i know what the anyway so uh waiting for that ai breakthrough We did have our writer JM go back through and
wow, that's wild.
Wait, that looks like a
mall glamour photo.
Yeah, that's really wild.
What the fuck? This is offensive.
It's so crazy. This one's
actually nude. I know, not safe work.
Sorry, guys. Wow.
We just had that training.
It's like, hey, have you ever just wanted to be the
hottest ai on earth right right but our we had uh our writer jm mcnabb go back and look at some of
the predictions for 2022 from various respected news outlets and we are going to take you on a
tour through some of those after this break.
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 this right-hand woman.
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.
I've been thinking about you.

BPM 110.
120.
She's terrified.
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?
We passed the review board a year ago.
We're not hurting people.
There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.

Hi, everyone.
It's me, Katie Couric.
Have you heard about my newsletter called Body and Soul?
It has everything you need to know
about your physical and mental health.
Personally, I'm overwhelmed by the wellness industry.
I mean, there's so much information out there about lifting weights, pelvic floors, cold plunges, anti-aging.
So I launched Body and Soul to share doctor-approved insights about all of that and more.
We're tackling everything.
Serums to use through menopause, exercises that improve your brain health, and how to naturally lower your blood pressure and cholesterol. Oh, and if you're as sore as I am from pickleball, we'll help you with that too. Thank you. So sign up for Body and Soul at katiecouric.com slash body and soul.
Taking better care of yourself is just a click away.
And we're back.
And let's dig in.
One of the big trends that you saw a lot of people writing about,
especially the tech experts over at CNET, was crypto.
CNET speculated that crypto will only continue to grow and we'll see if your employer will offer you that option in 2022.
Here's a direct quote.
Speaking of gross cryptocurrencies,
they've been breaking new highs and attracting more interest.
The crypto exchange app Coinbase passed TikTok and YouTube
to become the most downloaded app in Apple's app store a couple times during 2021 wow some view the world's
most popular cryptocurrency bitcoin as a hedge against inflation politicians athletes others
started making taking their paychecks in bitcoin in 2021 uh in no way did that backfire so shout
out to cnet being on top of this i just i just think it's like
it's beyond their comprehension at this point like it's the cnet is a tech company they're not
forbes had the same thing like all those people were like they're like their whisper networks
are like wall street people or finance people or something like
yeah that's what they keep talking about i read it because forbes is saying the sector becomes
more ingrained in the global economy against the wishes of policymakers uh and then the sec goes
another year without approving an etf uh that could buy and hold bitcoins well anyway so it's
just more like prediction though again that it was going to grow. Grow and grow and grow.
And burst.
Yeah.
Whoops.
Implode.
A lot of implosion happening this year.
Imploder.
Sports.
Forbes.
So this is what I like.
This is what I look for in my prediction articles when they just come out and take a wild swing okay
forbes came out and said we are going to get a major u.s pro sports betting scandal the first
since 1990 uh 1919 um which first of all is a weird prediction because it didn't apparently
consider pete rose scandal to be major right i. Most people would be like, isn't that a major betting one that kept the hit King out of the hall of fame?
Yeah.
But that's just,
you know,
planting a flag being like,
we are getting this wild card,
major story,
betting scandal.
And that,
that didn't really happen this year.
I see,
I see where they have that.
And I could see it happening in 2023.
Like it's like it's
it's always more of a possibility than it was before as betting gets more ubiquitous but oh
but they went specifically like a match fixing or game fixing scam yeah right because i think i
think there was some like tennis news in that department last year my question is since they're
saying specifically for this article forbes is not
since 1919 i don't know who pete rose is uh uh but all good is was the astros is that not it or is
that oh yeah yeah oh that's a cheating scandal oh okay that's so actually they were off they
should have said a cheating scandal because that is the thing that we have seen a lot of and saw it continued to see in the massive global markets of chess and uh pro bass
fishing right we saw some cheating scandals and those but they weren't really gambling scandals
which you're where they i was towing the lines as someone who is so on the outskirts of sports
but i was like i know the astros that
felt like a really big scandal yeah but it's not some people you're right i think yeah it's uh
the gambling part of the fact that forbes predicts it means that there is something happening right
now yeah you should be like you think that's gonna break the next year this next year
nah all right just like kind of allude to it in the predictions then.
Yeah.
The Guardian came through and was like,
all right, this is going to be Twitter's year.
The Guardian said Twitter would get better
thanks to new features like the super follow
and thanks to the departure of Jack Dorsey.
What?
Wow.
I'm sorry, what?
Wrong again.
Couldn't have been more wrong
in that headline.
Just all the way off.
Yeah.
What?
I mean, it was Twitter's year
in a way.
Yeah.
It's news.
For sure.
For sure.
They definitely picked up
a lot of energy
when it came to Google Trends.
They didn't predict like Elon
or anything like that
with Twitter though, right? No, no no but entrepreneur.com uh came through with a boring prediction that managed to
be way the fuck off they said elon is going to continue to make billions in 2022 uh in reality
he lost 101 billion dollars as of november what Twitter. Yeah. Two birds one stone.
I like
Anna's
strategy for this.
What?
What?
What?
Crazy. We have been keeping Anna in isolation.
She doesn't know any of the stories that happened
this year.
This is so...
Everyone sucks.
Yeah.
Analysts predict that Tesla will report strong
financial results this year, adding billions
to Musk's wealth. However, Musk's gains
won't be seen in a salary or cash
bonus from the company as his wealth is earned
based on stock awards. Twitter
stock is in free fall currently.
Like we said, he's lost
$101 billion and he is taking twitter
down didn't just sell off like three billion worth of tesla stock too i think so yeah oh cool
all right well anyway follow him all the way to the bottom y'all yeah what
that 20 of young children will have received at least one covid vaccine by year's end
um as of september the real number was 3.5 percent wow so this is this i think goes along
with like an overall trend that we're seeing that we'll probably cover again in our 2023
predictions but it's just it kind of goes back to my thing, my prediction of people will continue,
things will get worse in the same way
they've been getting worse,
and everyone will just kind of look around,
but nobody's doing anything about them.
And in fact, they're just getting tired
of hearing about how things are getting worse,
so they're not vaccinating their children, for instance.
That's why polio is back.
No, literally.
It's like people are fully back in school now.
So, aye, aye, aye.
Stop un-vaxxing your kids.
Yes.
Just vax those fools up.
They don't know what's going on.
Tucker Carlson literally predicted
that COVID would go away,
not because of anything that's
happening in the world of medicine uh but because it was just gonna burn out because of omicron
you know because how something works yes i'm like so confused by any of this he said covid's gonna
go away because of omicron omicron is covid yes no but because omicron's gonna be so aggressive
that it's just gonna burn burn out like a star.
Oh, it's going to kill us all.
It's going to put the smash on the other COVIDs.
Like it's going to be the last COVID.
The old Thanos method.
You did predict that that was going to be a catchphrase for this year.
I don't even want to be here anymore.
Well, I didn't predict that. Take a shot.
I think you should leave predicted that.
I don't even want to be here
anymore. I think that's going to be
the catchphrase
of 2023.
Alright, let's take one more break and we'll come back
and talk movies, the metaverse,
and we'll see what the psychics were saying.
This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months.

attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close

And we're back.
So Screen Rant came through
with their predictions
for the top box office movies of 2022.
And it contains, i mean it again
it's just expecting business as usual and things to get gradually better whereas they kind of got
worse and it wasn't business as usual and like a lot of these movies didn't even come out
so they predicted a top 10 that included the flash starring Ezra Miller, Aquaman 2,
Spider-Man Across
the Spider-Verse, and
did not include Top Gun Maverick.
Nowhere to be found on the list.
Wow.
Isn't this the first year that potentially
the top three films have nothing to do with Marvel?
What?
That's not a joking what. That's a real what.
No, yeah, because it's gonna be top gun
top gun jurassic world dominion and avatar yeah wait jurassic park dominion yeah or jurassic
world dominion i know those are like we did incredibly well yeah oh you know why it's
because derno's back laura oh no yeah yeah they brought back the like the the top dogs of day one
yeah smart move nostalgia it sells it sells nostalgia nostalgia oh man you want to warm
up that franchise oh man light your durnoostalgia sells. For that chafing dish.
That was a big one that we were talking about last year
that they were trying to get away with being like,
okay, we've got a big prediction.
Nostalgia is back in a big way.
Nostalgia has been here every fucking year
since the beginning of time.
That's an ever-present feeling that people have.
Yeah.
Oh, but in a big fucking way.
I'll tell you,
scream rant.
Didn't think Top Gun Maverick was going to be hitting.
They did think though,
light year was going to be,
they said it would be in the top 10 of the box office.
Tell you who they should have talked to this guy right here.
What's it even about?
That was the one thing that I predicted this year that I was right about,
but I did predict it strongly. this year that I was right about.
But I did predict it strongly.
I was adamant.
But it wasn't even a logic. It was like, nobody cares, man.
You vibed that out purely because
the trailer and the information was so upsetting.
The premise doesn't make any sense.
Get it out of here.
It's going to be fucked up and bad.
Yeah.
So what were the top 10 movies of this year, actually?
So far, the top movies of the year are, and this is domestic, so let me get worldwide.
Worldwide.
Let's just do domestic.
Top Gun, Wakanda Forever, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Jurassic World
Dominion, which did much better at the international, which is why it might edge the marvels out of the top three as miles was saying minions the rise of grew
classic minions the batman yeah it does you fuck with minions anna um it's because you know i love
pills so so yeah i do fuck with them you know those little yellow motherfuckers big pharma shout out
illumination is good like it doesn't get the critical acclaim as pixar but it's it's coming
up like i mean obviously about little pills being like
it's just like they're talking to me they're talking to me
i'm like funny what kind of pill you think they are?
I think they're Norco because they're yellow.
That's interesting.
I think they're like Valium.
Are they yellow Valium?
I don't know.
I don't think, I think it's just like conceptually they're pills.
And you know how like.
Oh yeah.
My former pilled out ass was like, those, them Norcos.
There's Norco.
They're like, yeah, they're like basically you know if they were pills their voices should be a lot deeper you know like when people
are off the benzos i don't know yeah they could just be all adderall they have oh they'd be
greenies too then you see the green wow maybe yeah okay i like this um say the rest of the top
10 moody batman thor love and thunder spider, No Way Home, Holding Over from last year, Sonic,
The Hedgehog 2, and then Black Adam.
Look at him.
Interesting.
That's so interesting to me because I genuinely have no sense of Black Adam and I didn't know
people watched it.
This is your light year, Anna.
Black Adam is your light year.
I was about to say.
It is your light year.
I don't hate Black Adam.
I haven't seen it. My curious thing is
I feel like Black Adam didn't pop
off like I thought it was going to.
Then it goes Elvis
Uncharted, nope, and then
light year. Elvis Uncharted,
then nope. That's so fucked up.
Wait, Elvis beat out
nope? Elvis did beat out Nope.
Yeah. Because most people are like,
I like Elvis. And then they're
like, movie with black leads?
Nope. Yeah. Elvis was fine.
You know why Elvis is getting all that pop off?
It's because the young guy who played him.
Yeah, Austin. Still though.
I wanted to say Austin Reeves.
Austin Reeves played
Elvis.
I think that's why it's getting all the sort of acclaim that it's getting.
Because I think he did a good job playing Elvis.
He definitely played it.
He put in a performance playing a character for sure.
But yeah, it's true.
I feel like everything I read is talking about the actor again rather than the film.
Everyone's so into him now.
Yeah, because he was too busy pretending to be Elvis for like three months
on that press junket.
Right, that he didn't talk
to his family or something.
Did you see that interview
he did with Chanel Monet
where he was like,
I didn't talk to my family?
Yeah.
I just saw the headline about that.
I was like, ooh.
I just, every time you see him
on the red carpet,
he'd be like,
giving his little Elvis impression.
He still talks like that.
He still talks like that too.
Wanna see how I got these scars?
It kind of feels like maybe
shooting that movie and becoming
so rigorously Elvis
and getting in on it
maybe matured him in a way.
He's no longer like a Disney
kid. He's now like an actor
and I have a voice. What was he on on Disney Channel?
He might win
the Academy Award for
Best Actor. No, they're not going to give it to him.
He was on...
His first movie like that. Come on.
Life Unexpected.
They'll snub him. They won't give it to him this year.
They'll give it to him on a weird ass movie he does
later in life as like a respect
of like, I know we owed you one.
That's how they operate.
For your your portrayal
of denzel al pacino they always do that shit yeah like revenant wasn't that the one where leo
finally yeah they always do that they go like not this time but it'll come for some random but
that's when i get pissed off though too and you're man, they're about to do a make good with this one.
Yeah.
That was very ad speak, too.
Sorry about that.
It's true.
Speaking of ad speak, a lot of people, the ad eco group dot com in particular, thought
that we were entering the age of the metaverse.
As in like no offices?
So they just said, I'll just read a direct quote from the ad eco group.
Some office workers may even head into the metaverse instead of a physical office.
One thing is becoming increasingly clear.
The future of the office is changing.
Well, that's true.
That's a vague enough statement.
Fortune.com. You will be going to office meetings in the metaverse changing. Well, that's true. That's a vague enough statement. Fortune.com.
You will be going to office meetings
in the metaverse within three years,
or at least that's what Bill Gates thinks.
You know what's so funny?
The technology is being built
and promoted by people
who start the meetings,
not by the motherfuckers
who have to be in the meetings.
Because that's a very different proposition.
Nobody's like, yeah yeah i wish i could
turn up this waste of my fucking time with a headset um anyway you will never catch me in
the metaverse i can't even do vr like i get motion sick putting on that damn headset and like being
in the world you think i'm gonna voluntarily put eight hours of my life into a vr headset
yeah you're never catching me in the
metaverse i don't really understand what they mean by it like we're gonna have like avatars and we
all go sit at a table at an avatars i'd rather just go to work then make me go to work i don't
know just make me go to work man just make me go to office then at least i can eat there yeah
just to say like that our lives are become it's like the first step to this virtual
reality world that these people were obsessed with in the 90s people gotta touch grass i'm sorry i'm
not you're not catching me in virtual reality i don't like it i hate it the only time you catch
me in virtual reality is fighting russell crowe in the movie virtuosity like i had to work on a
virtual reality game when i worked in kf, and that was, like, awful.
I just don't get it.
And it never went anywhere.
And that's how I feel about the metaverse.
People want it to work so bad, and it's just...
Yeah, it's fetch.
It's the fetch-a-verse.
All right.
And then we have to take our hats off to the Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga, who envisaged...
I guess Baba Vanga predicted 9-11 and Brexit.
And in 2022, predicted another pandemic, which we're kind of seeing.
That's kind of low.
That's like low ball.
I feel like.
Yeah.
Okay.
But they also added that this pandemic will be discovered in Siberia and caused by a frozen virus that will be released by climate change, which was actually the plot of the last Chris Pratt alien invasion movie.
I was going to say, wasn't that the movie?
So they might have gotten their wires crossed.
They might have been seeing.
Watching a movie.
Yeah.
Baba Vanga.
Yeah.
Baba Vanga is in development over at lion's gate
saw that happen yeah i love that i saw on the blacklist that script uh and i will predict
that to happen baba vanga what else also aliens will invade the planet by sending an asteroid
to seek out life on earth with an unfriendly outcome in 2022 that's what baba vanga said
that's what baba vanga said okay all right what Baba Vanga said. Baba Vanga, it seems like,
takes some big swings.
Every 25 years, one of them
hits and they're like, motherfucker, I
told you. Wait, but you also said
Baba Vanga predicts that Will Smith
will slap Chris Rock?
Yes!
That happened, right?
Something that will happen that will cause
heartache for Will Smith.
I thought that was the entanglement of it all.
That was a different one.
That was Nicholas Ajula, who's a soul therapist.
Yes.
Soul therapist predicted that something would happen that caused heartache for Will Smith.
Kind of true.
Also saw a new virus on the horizon, which seems to be a thing that is popping off with psychics. Also
saw the queen having a much brighter
year.
As she walks towards the gates
of hell. Yeah, walking towards
the bright light.
Much brighter.
One psychic correctly predicted
the queen will hand over a large part of
her role to another member over the next 12
months. Close enough.
We'll count it.
Survey says ding, ding, ding.
Okay.
Yes.
All right.
So the only person who got anything right was Ever Maynard and me on Daily Zeitgeist.
And Baba Vanga.
And Baba Vanga.
Yeah.
How dare you?
We will not stand for Baba Vanga or Ray Shirai.
They correctly predicted a plot point in a Chris Pratt movie that had come out a month before.
I bet that's really hard for psychics because they like see a vision,
but they don't know for sure if it's a movie or real life.
Wait, wait, shit.
I saw that was a Chris Pratt movie.
Damn.
Oh, damn.
No, I just predicted the plot for that new Chris Pratt movie.
Yeah, what if you're having a vision?
You're like staring into the flame for the third straight hour and you see this wild vision
but then Chris Pratt walks by in the
background and you're like, oh,
it's just a movie.
My bad, my bad.
Delete, delete.
God, that must be so tough.
It must be so tough to be a medium.
We have to have more empathy for mediums, you know?
I've always said that. Absolutely.
Especially the Long Island medium.
No. She's a fake.
That's true. Not that one, though.
Long Island medium is. Yeah, she's
faking it. She's 90% hair.
Alright. Well, those are
some of the predictions that people made
about this year. So, you know,
you have all the evidence you need to ignore
all media predictions except for
the Daily Zeitgeist Predictions episode,
which will be coming out soon.
So check your feed in the coming days.
I think tomorrow, right?
Yeah, I think that's right.
That's how the days work.
